1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, August six. This is happy and now celebrating

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: his triumph and return to the Premier Beer League. Jane,

3
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: who said I ever left. First of all, I was

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: never demoted from that Welcome in Jaguar's Happy Hour. J P.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: Shadrick from the home studio. Jeff Logaman from his home studio, logs,

6
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: what's happening, man, It's all good, j P. It's all good. Excited,

7
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: uh to be one step closer to hopefully having a

8
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: football season. Well, you know, as the weeks go by

9
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: here we have a little more football activity going on,

10
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: which is nice. The opt out days today and then

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, players are on the field going through that

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: that ramp up period now and then next week when

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: we talk, maybe there'll be some actual and feel things

14
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: happening by that. Yeah, and I think, uh, I think

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear some more news about other players deciding

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: to opt out of me right now. The Jaguars had

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: an additional guy, Rashawn Melvin, the cornerback, the veteran that

18
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: they signed in free agency. He opted out, And uh,

19
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows who's gonna come in at the deadline?

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: And uh, and I have a feeling that around the league.

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: I think the numbers are over fifty as of last

22
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: count yesterday, and I haven't seen the updated numbers. I'm

23
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: sure it's gonna get to be a little bit more

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: as we we hear news around the league today. But

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: here here's the other thing. JP. Just because a guy

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: doesn't opt out now doesn't mean that he's gonna just

27
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: decide I'm gonna opt out for the season and just

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: not take a stipend now, because that's what kind of

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: the timing of why they're opting out now. You can

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: opt out now and receive a hundred fifty thousand dollar stipend,

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: which you have to pay back from next year's salary,

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: and and then you don't play this year. If you

33
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: have a medical condition that gives you a reason to

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: opt out, you can get a three dollar but it's

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: not a stipend. You get to keep it. It's uh,

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: there's no strings attached. But the question still remains that, Look,

37
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some guys that get involved in this

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: process of preparing for an NFL season and they're not

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna like what they see, and they're gonna not gonna

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: like maybe the feeling that they have when they decide

41
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: to have contact with their teammates or have contact with

42
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: opponents and say I gotta pass on it. And in

43
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: that case, they're not gonna have any of that money

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: to kind of keep but other than what they have

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: made thus far in the season. So I would not

46
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: be surprised if we see uh tens, twenties, maybe thirties.

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: I think of players in the National Football League that

48
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: decide to opt out, you know, after this deadline that

49
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: was imposed at four pm today, and just not worry

50
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: about the money at that. Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, look,

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: if you if you feel strongly about something and you're

52
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: not comfortable playing the game, because here's the deal JP,

53
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, everything's hunky dorry. Okay, Well, the

54
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: players are socially distant. They're having meetings that are virtual.

55
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: They're lifting in their own little cocoon. They're having all

56
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: their meetings in their own little cocoon. Okay, but at

57
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: some point you're gonna get together and you're gonna have

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: a huddle, you're gonna have practice, and that's gonna freak

59
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: some guys out because they're not used to being close

60
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: to people. You know, they've been sitting there teaching these

61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: guys look six ft distant, six ft distant, and all

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now you're asking them to huddle up,

63
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: and then you're asking them to get as close as

64
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: you can to some guys and cover them or hit

65
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: them or tackle them, or you know, evade somebody. But

66
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And it's a lot different than

67
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: what we kind of have become accustomed too lately, and

68
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot different what the players have

69
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: become accustomed to accustomed to. So it's gonna be a

70
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: big adjustment. So it's a big adjustment walking in the door,

71
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Eddie and used to all the protocols that they've got

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: to follow. But when all of a sudden they decide

73
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: to hit, there's gonna be a big adjustment. And then

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: there's also gonna be another adjustment when they decided to

75
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: hit somebody else in the game, because you can't play

76
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: football when you're hesitant. So it's gonna be interesting. Yeah,

77
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: hesitant or socially distant and football, I mean the other

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: teams scored and touchdowns. That's that's what that means. Here's

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: what's coming up with the show today. Doug Morone at

80
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: the media today, we'll hear some of the highlights from

81
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: the Jags head coach, The Gardner Mintshow, Josh Allen, Brandon

82
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: Linder spoke earlier in the week. We'll get some of

83
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: the highlights from those guys as well, go around the

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: National Football League as well. The logs will start with us.

85
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: You touched on at the opt out deadline at four o'clock,

86
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: so about four minutes ago. Officially, will we'll see if

87
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: any others kind of roll injury right before the deadline,

88
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: But three Jaguars as at this moment have opted out,

89
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: Al Woods, Laurenti McCrae. Those were earlier in the week,

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: and then as you managed in Rashaan Melvin free agent

91
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: signing this path past offseason. You guys been in the

92
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: league for a little while now, an undrafted player back

93
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: in teen has worked his way through a few different teams. Um,

94
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: so three opt outs for the Jaguars, and you know

95
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: there's three veterans. But really, I wasn't been around the

96
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: league for a long time. Law is no spring chicken anymore.

97
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: He's got some experience on him, and Melvin's been in

98
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: since thirteen. So this kind of opens our conversation that

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: we'll we'll hear from Doug on this a little later,

100
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, And on a year where a young player

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: might not have as many opportunities, if you have three

102
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: veteran guys like this opting out, that should have open

103
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: three more opportunities for a guy, at least on the

104
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: practice field. Well, there's no doubt. I mean, there's there's

105
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: some young guys that are right now that are quietly

106
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: celebrating because those three guys right there were almost assured

107
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: a roster's position or roster spot on this Jaguars football team.

108
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: So it does create an opportunity, most likely for a

109
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: younger player. So the younger player is probably going, yes,

110
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, you know, my opportunity just got better, you know. So,

111
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean good for them. And as a football team,

112
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I think if you're trying to build it, you're sitting there,

113
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: if you're general manager, Dave caldwhere you're going, God, here

114
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: we are, you know, we we we filled some of

115
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: these holes with these veteran guys, you know, to maybe

116
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: bridge us until the young guys are ready to take

117
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: over full time. Well guess what, there's no more bridge

118
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, And and then next year maybe the entire

119
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: reason that you sign that guy has evaporated because maybe

120
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: the young guy now games a year of experience and

121
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: so you know, I mean, what do you do in

122
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: that situation? So it's it's kind of a different it's

123
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: a different world, you know, JP. I mean, you know,

124
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: when Doug talks about how there's absolutely nothing normal about

125
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: this year, there's not. I mean in in even in

126
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: this instance where you're talking about three veteran guys that

127
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: are opting out, I mean, there's what what experience do

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: you have to reflect back on to make commentary on this?

129
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't. You know, everything is new, everything

130
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: is different, And I think that's the one guarantee that

131
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: we have for this season and whatever capacity it's gonna be,

132
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: is that everything is going to be different and there

133
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: will be no normal. Let's hear from head coach Doug Marone.

134
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: He spoke earlier today and to this topic a bit

135
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: about opportunities for younger players. Of course, we talked about

136
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: it with him last week on the Dug Marone showed

137
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: as well, you know, and a late round draft pick

138
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: and undrafted rookie, those guys have limited opportunities anyway to

139
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: put things on tape in a regular year with four

140
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: preseason games and training camp. But it's even less so now,

141
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: and that makes everybody job much more difficult to give

142
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: those guys a chance, because it's tough enough to tell

143
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: a guy he's cut off a roster anyway, but all

144
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden you you tell him and he hasn't

145
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: had much of an opportunity. That's even tougher for Doug

146
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: Moron anything in life, as long as you have an opportunity, um,

147
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: it may not work out well, it may not even

148
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: be fair, but at least as an opportunity to at

149
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: least show something. So immediately when it came out to

150
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: ninety eighty, I didn't even blinking eye. I was like,

151
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to ninety. I just feel like it's just

152
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: an important thing for me and what I believe is

153
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: the right thing to do, and then I think it's

154
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: right for a team also, obviously, Well the obviously part

155
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: there is this is a young football team, so there's

156
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: a lot of youth. I think there're thirty rookies on

157
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: this roster, twelve draft picks, eighteen undrafted guys, so that's

158
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: a lot of young guys running around. But there may

159
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: not be as many running around after that. Now you

160
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: start the deadline is coming up fairly soon in a

161
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: week or so to get it down to eighty, but

162
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: for now it's ninety. Given a much chance to do something, well,

163
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: let me kind of reflect back on what Duck's talking about,

164
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: how he wants to give those guys a chance. I mean, look,

165
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: are these guys gonna get a great opportunity or a

166
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: great luck. Probably not. I mean, that's just that's just

167
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: the reality of it. And as a football coach, when

168
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to decide what your roster makeup is gonna be,

169
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna go to something that's a little bit

170
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: more proven, and then you have more of a track

171
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: record on than something that is totally unproven. And that's

172
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: the reality that of a veteran guy, he now has

173
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: a significant advantage because coaches have a trust factor or

174
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: a belief that this guy can do it well. We're

175
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot of the young guys. You need to see

176
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: some repetitive history with a young player to get comfortable

177
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: with that player, and it's hard to accomplish that when

178
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: you're talking about there's about eleven padded practices that is

179
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: going to happen before the Jaguars this year, before they

180
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: have to make a decision to get their roster down

181
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: to a game day type situ sation where they're at

182
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: fifty three now. The roster being at ninety now, the

183
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: ninety right now allows them to take a look at

184
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the young players. But once they get

185
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: to the situation to where they are practicing, I don't

186
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be at ninety anymore because if you're

187
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: at ninety, then you have to split the practice up

188
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: and uh. And look, if I've got two coaching staff,

189
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem splitting up and having two practices,

190
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: but I've got one coaching staff. There's not enough time

191
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: in the day to be able to do that. It's

192
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: time to get focused and get prepared for the season.

193
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: You know, you can't sit there and say, well, we've

194
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: got to develop this guy. We've got to develop that guy.

195
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: But they need to develop on their own and if

196
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: they can get on board, they get on board, and

197
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: you've got to get ready for a football season. The

198
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: clock is gonna be ticking, and I expect the Jaguars

199
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to getting ready to have any a practice,

200
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: a real practice, they'll be down eighties so that they

201
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: don't have to split the squad. Yeah, we're not talking

202
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: about a junior varsity at a varsity squad. Guess what

203
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: this is the NFL ready to play or you're not playing?

204
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: And let me add this JP. You know, dug Rone

205
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: talked about how he referred back and this was last

206
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: week and he talked about it in this press conference.

207
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: He talked about how he reflected back on his time

208
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: as a college coach and said, Okay, what did I

209
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: do as a college coach to prepare guys for a season?

210
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: We didn't have preseason games. Well. Yeah. The big difference is, though,

211
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: is that in college you get to keep everybody. Yeah,

212
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: they're all there. Okay, you get to keep everybody, and

213
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: guess what if you have ten walk on, you can

214
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: keep them too if you want to. In the NFL

215
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. You know, you've got to make

216
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: a decision. You gotta make a pretty quick decision and

217
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: say can this guy play or can he not play?

218
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Let's hear from the quarterback Gardner Mint. You spoke for

219
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: the first time in training camp back on Tuesday, and

220
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: as you might expect, logs. He um, he's an interesting cat.

221
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: He had a lot of things happen in this this

222
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: conference t hear what to expect from the offense this

223
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: year and how he's improved in the off season. But

224
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: you know, he was a little delayed in coming to

225
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: camp because he found himself on they reserved COVID nineteen lists.

226
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: And for Gardner Minshew, that was a little bit of

227
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: a struggle. The first day out yesterday, it has been

228
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: like the first day of school, you know, like having

229
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: my outfit picked out and everything. How to stay at home?

230
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: That sucks, missed out. I played with all my friends.

231
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, did not contract the virus. It

232
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: took one luck at me ran the other way. It's

233
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: probably in its best interests. So um, here we are.

234
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: We're back on Tuesday, right to roll Exad a good

235
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: place in football. There is all ways a sound bite

236
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: or three or four that come out of a Gardner

237
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: Minshew press conference that you'll run for a long time.

238
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: This adds to that list. It looks pretty good stuff

239
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: from the quarterback. Well, there was a couple of things

240
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: that certainly made you made your chuckle. One that that

241
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, the virus took one look at me and

242
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: decided to turn the other direction. Uh. The other part was, yes,

243
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: him barking like a dog. And I don't know exactly

244
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: who was on the Microsoft Teams meeting, and I don't

245
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: think Gene for nat or I think it was John

246
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: Shipley official had a dog in the background barking. We accused,

247
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: we accused like three different people, but we found out

248
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: it was John. Okay, So I mean, look, it happens,

249
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: and Minshaw decides to bark back. But the most interesting

250
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: thing to me was and if you listen to him,

251
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: and then you also if you read the transcript, he

252
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: said something to the effect because he was talking about

253
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: him in the wide receiver that he's room he's with,

254
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: and he said something about, well we got the anybody's

255
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: down in Boca, And I almost got the impression that

256
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: he was telling us that he got the virus down

257
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: there in South Florida. So, but I mean, am I

258
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: am I miss reading that? Nobody kind of fun it up.

259
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: Nobody followed up on that. But I mean, but that's

260
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: what he said. I mean, if you go back and

261
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: you read the the script, or if you go back

262
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: and you listen to his press conference, he talks about

263
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: how you know, he said they got it when they

264
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: were down there working out, and I said, well, somebody

265
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: please follow up with that, and nobody did. So I'm

266
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: not saying that he had. I'm just saying that it

267
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: made me wonder because if you go back and he

268
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: watched his press conference and watched the video, it gave

269
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: me the impression that he did have COVID nineteen, which

270
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: is fine. I mean, look, i mean there's millions of

271
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: people that are getting effective and I'm not saying that

272
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: that's a bad thing, but it also I'm saying it

273
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: could be a good thing. But if you're starting quarterback

274
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: has the antibodies, he's already been through COVID nineteen and

275
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: there's less of a chance of him contracting the virus

276
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: once again, I mean, that could be a good thing

277
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: for a football team. Doug Moron had some comments about

278
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, and as you might expect, Doug is not

279
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: a social media maven lug, so he doesn't see a

280
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: lot of this outside noise about the cornerback. He does

281
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: see a different side of Gardener. There's so many people

282
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: that tell me, you know, all those things about you know,

283
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: social media, r vs. And all that stuff. I see

284
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: the guy that comes in with with with a mission

285
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: and a focus every single day, you know, so uh,

286
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: you know when he's here or around myself, and not

287
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: to say that we might not laugh about something or joke.

288
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: We do, but I don't see that that other side,

289
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: uh that people will be say the quirkiness to think

290
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: of that nature he's h you know, maybe I bring

291
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: that out in people. I don't know, but I'm just

292
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: saying I see a guy that's focused, and you know,

293
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: he's ready to go, and every time he's here and

294
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: he's working, he's on a mission and he's really working

295
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: with his teammates. So I mean, obviously that's a great

296
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: sign when the head coach sees that part of him

297
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: in the building, and you know, he looks a little stronger.

298
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: We see him if you're watching on Jags social he's

299
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: been in the weight room a little bit and has

300
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: kind of dedicated himself physically what you would expect from

301
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: from Gardner. That's the kind of guy he seems to be.

302
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: Like probably he definitely he looks more tone and uh,

303
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: the one thing I think about Gardener Mitschew. I remember

304
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: last year, my first impression of him when he was

305
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: out there on the football field. I said, boy, he

306
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: looks like a fullback. You know, it looks like a

307
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: walk on fullback. And he doesn't look like a quarterback

308
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: because he does he's a little shorter in stature and uh.

309
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: And that's probably one of the reasons why that he

310
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: was drafted where he is. And I mean the reality

311
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: is that, I mean, does he look tall and lean

312
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: and like a quarterback. I mean he doesn't, you know,

313
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: he looks like I said, like a walk on fullback.

314
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: And uh. But nonetheless, he's he had a very successful year.

315
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: It looks like he's come back an excellent shape. He's

316
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: got he's got some some hair growing out there, so

317
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have to watch out and make

318
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: sure that that doesn't block his vision when he's throwing

319
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: the football. But I'm excited to see him play this year.

320
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: And the quirkiness that Doug kind of mentioned there, he

321
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: says he doesn't see it, Like, how can you not

322
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: see it? I mean, he's definitely a little quirky, but

323
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: in a good way. You know, he's different and uh,

324
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: and I think the one thing about Minshew is is

325
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: that it's not contrived and it's not an act. It's

326
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: just kind of who he is. And I think because

327
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: if it is an act, or if it's contrived or

328
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: it's fake, that doesn't last in the locker room very long.

329
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: And nor does a player if he's fake or had

330
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: this contrived quirky acts. The respect doesn't last long in

331
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: the locker room. So so that's good for Minshoe because

332
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: the quirkiness that actually can help him in the locker room.

333
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: Because the quirkier, quirkier you are in the locker room,

334
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: sometimes the broaderer reaches in the locker room. You know

335
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: what helps broad reach as well is leading touchdown drive

336
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: and winning football games. That certainly helps things too. And uh,

337
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of confidence at least early

338
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: in this training camp behind Gardner Minshew, let's come back.

339
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Josh Allen speaking of confidence and guys,

340
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: Doug Marone had a lot of good things to say

341
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: about it. Alan we heard from John Sure through this

Speaker 1: be the best because I played in the country, I

403
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: mean in the league. Uh, that's you know, high standards.

404
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: I had a high standard last year and I kind

405
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: of achieved that goal. But now you know, I set

406
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: the bar really high for myself and I'm looking to

407
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: stay there and stay at the top. And I'm gonna

408
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: push myself as much as I could push each year.

409
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: And this year is I'm not holding anything back. Man,

410
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm coming in as best as I can, the best

411
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: version of me. He called walcome back Jaguar's Happy Hour.

412
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick Jeff Logaman, Well, you can't love that guy, Logs.

413
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: Just his mentality and the way he goes about his

414
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: business and his approach even on a call and in

415
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: a media setting like that. He saw what he did

416
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: on the field last year, but the way it's just

417
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: it seems like a total package, which is a great,

418
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: great sign for the organization. Really. Yeah, he's uh, I mean,

419
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: let's face it, he's a stud. I mean he's uh.

420
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: He's a stud in so many different ways. A stud

421
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: because he has great physical tools. He has the personality

422
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: to make up that you want you're great players to have.

423
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: He's got some natural leadership ability and when when anybody

424
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: walks in the door and immediately kind of latches onto

425
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: the coattails of Klais Campbell and says, I'm gonna follow

426
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: this guy because I want to be like this guy.

427
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: To me, I mean, holy cow, that's exactly what you're

428
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: looking for. When you have young players that come in

429
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: that think they know that and they think they've been

430
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: there and done that, that's not the type type of

431
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: player that you want. The players that come in that

432
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: are wanting to be a sponge and realize that they

433
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: have so much to learn. Those are the ones that

434
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: realize that they're seiling they haven't reached yet, and that

435
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna do everything possible to try to become better players.

436
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: And and I love listening to his interview. I love

437
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: listening to him talk about how he prepared for the

438
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: season and that obviously with all the restrictions that were

439
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: in place, he did the smart thing and then he

440
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: went out and he got somebody to take him through

441
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 1: workouts he took and leaned on the advice of Clay's

442
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: Campbell about trying to take care of your house and

443
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: your business and your body first before you worry about

444
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: anybody else. And I think that's the definition of a leader,

445
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: and that you do have to take care of yourself

446
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: because in in the NFL, the reality is this. You

447
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: can be a great leader, but if you're gonna be

448
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: a leader, you've got to make sure that number one,

449
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: you're doing the right thing and that you're a good

450
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: football player. Because if you're not a good football player,

451
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: do you think everybody else is gonna listen to you? No, No,

452
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: You've You've got to have a little You gotta have

453
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: some game if you're gonna be able to lead in

454
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: the locker on I'm not saying you've got to be

455
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the leagu you don't,

456
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: but you've got to have some games. Now, I mean

457
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: he would love to be obviously. That's his goal, is

458
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: to be one of the best, if not the best

459
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: players in the league. And head coach Doug Barrone was

460
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: asked about Alan today and his mindset. And you know,

461
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't start when you show up for training camp

462
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: for the head coach. It starts much earlier than that.

463
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 1: So immediately when the season was over, you know, I'm

464
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, this guy gets it. You know, um,

465
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: you know this guy is is are all of a

466
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: sudden starting to put together a plan for himself of

467
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: of how he what he wants to do in the offseason,

468
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: what he wants to do when he comes back, and

469
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: is envisioning himself be a successful on the field. That

470
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: you need that first before you need anything. Yeah, start

471
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: with plan, follow the plan executed, and helped the team

472
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: as a whole win football games. That was another part

473
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: that Doug talked about too. It's not just personal goals.

474
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: He wants to win games. He this organization the guys

475
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: around him to do well for the Jaguars to to

476
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: win football games. That's what it takes. I mean. And

477
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: and if you're gonna lead this franchise and turn it around,

478
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: you've got to have players that have that mindset that

479
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be willing and they're gonna be able to

480
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: do whatever is best for this organization and win football games.

481
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: And obviously the success of the team is more important

482
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: than the success of the individual. And that's the way

483
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: it's got to be. And uh And Josh Allen is

484
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: a good football player, and I like the way he

485
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: also is. I don't want to say taking over that

486
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: place Campbell role with Caleb and chays On, but he's

487
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, treated him like a brother in

488
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: helping him along. And that's what you gotta have, you know,

489
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: you gotta these get the young guys that come into

490
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: your football team. You want to make sure that they

491
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: latch on with people like a Josh Allen or like

492
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 1: a Clays Campbell, because you want them raise right and

493
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: you want them to eventually to do the same thing

494
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: to the younger guys that they start latching on to

495
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: some in your locker room that you're like, uh, and

496
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: then that JP. We all know it. I mean there's

497
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: guys in every locker room that you sit there and

498
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: you go, uh, you know, and and we as as

499
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: media members and as a former player and having been

500
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: in that locker room, you have guys like that, you know,

501
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: and you just want to make sure that nobody latches

502
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: on the guys like that. But you need some of

503
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: those guys to accomplish your goals because they have a

504
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: good skill set and they fill a role. But at

505
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: the same token, you don't need a guy like that

506
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: mentor in anybody. And and Josh Allen is the perfect

507
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: type of mentor and he's he's a fantastic football player,

508
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to watch him play this year because

509
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna have one year of experience under his belt

510
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: and he's only going to get that much better. That

511
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: was one question that Josh Allen was, what do you

512
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: need to do better? What can you improve upon and back?

513
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen certainly had an answer for that being a

514
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: complete player. Man. And Uh, I feel like, you know, yeah,

515
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: I worked on pass russ, but I worked on my

516
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: whole game. Uh. You know it. It's so big to

517
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: get caught up in the sacks. You know, this is

518
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: just talking around people in the NFL. Uh, It's so

519
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: big to get caught up in the sacks if you're

520
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: considered a pass rusher. Uh. And I'm not trying to

521
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: be considered just a pass rusher. I'm trying to be

522
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: considered a great defensive player. Um So I'm my main

523
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: focus was stopping My main focus is gonna stop the run,

524
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: tackle for losses. You know, plays that destructive the whole offense.

525
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: He added also that priority number one for this Jaguars

526
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: defense log just to stop the run. So that's coming

527
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: from above. But uh, there's a reason why they have

528
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: to stop the run before they can get to the

529
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: opportunity to rush the pastor he knows that. How much

530
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: better does he need to be, at least in in

531
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: run defense and being a complete player, How can he

532
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: do that? Well, He's he's got a lot of room

533
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: to improve. Man, I'm I'm talking a lot of room

534
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: to improve, because you're talking about a guy who at

535
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: the University of Kentucky didn't put his hand down on

536
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: a three point stance hardly at all, and when he did,

537
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: it was only to rush the passer. So he had

538
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: no comfort level whatsoever about playing the run from a

539
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: three point stanch. Which, look, the reality is, if you're

540
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna play defensive end of the National Football League, you've

541
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: got to learn how to do that. And and that's

542
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: something that you can see that he worked on. He's

543
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: did the footwork, the hand placement, all that stuff. He

544
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: can get better at it. But that's what I appreciate

545
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: about Josh is that even though he had a double

546
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: digit sacks last year as a rookie, which is tremendous

547
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: because you're an elite pass rusher in the National Football

548
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: League when you get double digit, especially if you're a rookie.

549
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: So he could just say Hey, that's the glamour. That's

550
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: how my name is gonna be made. That's how I

551
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: make Pro Bowls, and that's what I am. I'm just

552
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna be just a pass rusher, but he wants to

553
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: be the complete player. And uh and yeah, the Jaguar

554
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: has got to have a strong focus on stop in

555
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: the run because JP they weren't very good at it

556
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: last year. You know, that was one of the reasons

557
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: why they signed Joe Schobert linebacker, one of the reasons

558
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: that they signed Out Woods. And now he's opted out.

559
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: The big nose apple veteran guy, you know, so it's

560
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: unfortunate that they lost him. But they've got to get

561
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: better against the run, and Josh Allen has to be

562
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: a big part of that. Big body helps. I mean,

563
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: he's not a small guy. He's two hundred and sixty.

564
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: That helps, right to have some stoutness to you. Yeah,

565
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: he's you know, I think last year there were times

566
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: that he played about two sixty five, maybe even all

567
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: the way up to two hundred seventy pounds. And a

568
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: crazy thing is when he's to seventy, he's still he

569
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 1: still moves unbelievably well, you know, and and compare that

570
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: too in Gockway. And this is no sliderving Gockway, because

571
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: he's a great player in his own right, but he's

572
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: about two hundred thirty five pound ballpark, you know. So

573
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: the reality is that you can't do things at to

574
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: thirty five that you can't at to sixty five or

575
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: two seventy. Trust me, I've been there, I've tried. You know,

576
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: played years when I was younger at the two hundred

577
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: and forty pounds, and then I played years at two

578
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: hundred seventy pounds. And there's obviously a comfort level for

579
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: every player. And with Josh Allen, they're seeing to be

580
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: a pretty wide comfort zone in which which he can

581
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: play at and uh and when you have a guy

582
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: that's two d seventy pounds that can that can run

583
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: like him. But I think the most impressive thing is

584
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: that we're talking about a bigger defensive endom according to

585
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: modern day standards. Now, I mean we're not talking about

586
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: going in league history, y j P. Because some of

587
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: the modern day standards, most of your defensive ends are

588
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: two fifties. Two fifty five is somewhere right, and there,

589
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: Josh is a little bit bigger than that, but his

590
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: wind or his ability to to have a motor that

591
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: is still running. And I'm talking his speed is at

592
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: a high level through the course of a play, because

593
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: there was one place last year that sticks in my mind.

594
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: It's just unbelievable. And then he runs one direction, he stopped,

595
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: he changed his direction, and all of a sudden he

596
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: closes and when he closed, he ran a guy down.

597
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Whereas most humans, okay after the first birth, will be

598
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: like Josh was just like it was like he's like,

599
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. He's like he's fresh. He

600
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: was like he just started and it was the second

601
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: part of the second half of the play, and I'm going,

602
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: how do you do that? I mean, what a gift

603
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: that he has. And it's and it's fun to watch

604
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: because I wish I had that kind of endurance in

605
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: a play that Josh has. I will say that, you know,

606
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: I've lost some weight lately, right, I touched too six

607
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: for his two six. Yeah, it's a little bit different

608
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: for Josh than it was for me. Let's come back

609
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,760

676
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: be better just because it's allowing us to get our

677
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: bodies conditioned in the shape that we want to be

678
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: at to play. I mean, I don't know if a

679
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: lot of guys had the opportunities to work out in

680
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: the gym, you know, access to a field, just with

681
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: with with all that's going on. But um, I think

682
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: the gradual way is gonna be good. And then, I mean,

683
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: fourteen days don't seen that much, but the stuff that

684
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: we're doing now it's kind of preparing us. So I

685
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: think in that fourteen days will be wide open in

686
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: the full swing of things. It's Brandon Lender Jaguars Center.

687
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: He spoke with the media earlier this week. Jaguars Happy

688
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: Hour rolls along. We're halfway home. The Doug Moron Show

689
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: starts at five o'clock today, and we'll hear from the

690
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: head coach. But good to hear from Lender. You know,

691
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: a guy who's been around here here for a long

692
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: time and earlier in his career, has battled some injury things,

693
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: but logs, he's I think he made the point that,

694
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: especially for veteran players, he's I think he called it

695
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: a dream offseason. There's nothing on the field at all, right,

696
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: so you should be fairly fast. I know what Lender's mindset.

697
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: It's okay. Lender's thinking, okay, no t a, no mini camp.

698
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: I get to go more, I get to go fishing more,

699
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: I get to go turkey hunt more. And so my

700
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: schedule is clean. I don't have any commitments something, so

701
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: I know, I Lenda. But but here's the Brandon Leonard

702
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: still prepared for the season, and and he certainly I

703
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: don't want to say that he thought that it was

704
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 1: the dream season. Like boy, we want to have every

705
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: year like this because the reality is nobody wants to

706
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: have a year like we've had with with a global pandemic.

707
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: But I think he's just referring to all the free time,

708
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: no commitments football wise, and and you come back and

709
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: you're kind of ready to go um. But I think

710
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, he also had in that interview talked about

711
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: the importance and he realized the importance of the offensive

712
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: line to the success of this season this year, because

713
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: you're talking about a young quarterback in the second year,

714
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: really the first year that he has been the name

715
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, and a defense that is gonna be an

716
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: offense really that both sides of the ball is gonna

717
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: be plugging in a lot of young players. So if

718
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: you look at any position group across this whole football team,

719
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: the offensive line is probably the one that has the

720
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: most consistency or will have the most consistency to it.

721
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: And uh and obviously, and I think it was one

722
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: of the requests that John o'shan made to us j

723
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: P all the media guys and said, hey, I need

724
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: you guys to help me write these articles. And he

725
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: asked different questions and one of the questions that he

726
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: posed that was on Jaguars dot Com was what is

727
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: the most important position group heading into mine was offensive

728
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: Live And the reason I said that was two fold.

729
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: One is that you have young quarterback. You have a

730
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: lot of growth that's needed for him, and you got

731
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: to give him room to do that. You need to

732
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 1: have a running game, and the offensive line's gotta block

733
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: and lead the way because that's probably the going to

734
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: be the most consistent thing to the offense. But also

735
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: time of possession. By running the football, you also keep

736
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: a defense off the field, and so the offensive line

737
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: can help the defense and ways as well. So this

738
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: offense has got to be good. This offensive line has

739
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: got to be good, and Brandon Lennar has got to

740
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: be a big, big part of that. You know, last

741
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: year was the first year that he was able to

742
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: make a complete season and he stayed healthy and and

743
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: I know he attributes the diet, the plots, the stretching stuff. Uh,

744
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: and good for him. You know, when players finally find

745
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: what works for them, they gotta stick with it and

746
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: hopefully that that formula continues to work for Brandon Lennar. Yeah,

747
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: he got dinged up a little bit last year, but

748
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: the whole season, I mean, everybody gets that if you're

749
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: a football player and you don't get dinged up. You

750
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: didn't play, you know, you're like on practice squad or

751
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: or you're you're the water boy. I mean, if you're playing,

752
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: you get dinged up. And that's just the fact, you know.

753
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: But the whole goal is just to be able to

754
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: fight through some of the dings and still be available.

755
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: You know, as we we've seen for many years the

756
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: old saying availability supersedes what JP. Yeah, come on, availability

757
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: supersedes what ability? Ability. Yes, availability supersedes ability because if

758
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: a player is not available, it doesn't matter what on

759
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: ability he has. And so for Brandon Leonard to be

760
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: available for all sixteen games last year, uh, great job.

761
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: And hope, hope, hope we see the same thing this

762
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: year out of them. Yeah, the most important ability is availability.

763
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: That's way I've always different. That's why I was hesitating.

764
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing, JP, I mean, the the

765
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: offensive lines got some competition this year. Week Litten, I mean,

766
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 1: let's start with that real quickly. Let's start at left tackle.

767
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: That's the one right Cam Robinson and then Will Richardson's

768
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: moving over to the left tackle position. Is this a

769
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: real deal? Uh? Am? I breathing. That's real. Let's yeah,

770
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: that's real. Here. Look, Will Richardson last year, when all

771
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Cam Robinson is not ready to go,

772
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: and then he was asked to play left tackle. He

773
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: did a really good job, and the Sally you know

774
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: who is Hall of Fame Cannet played the position. Even

775
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: made the comment that look, you know, you leave Will

776
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: out there at left tackle because he arguably had been

777
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: playing better than Cam has. And so to create competition,

778
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: first off, it's gonna make Cam a better player. It's

779
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: gonna make give Will an opportunity to earn a starting

780
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: job and give him motivation. And it also in the

781
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: event that Cam still wins the position, good for him.

782
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: He obviously elevated his level of play. But then you

783
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: also had a player who you know can play guard

784
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: because he rotated last year at guard. Now a sudden,

785
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: he can play guard, he can play tackle. He's the

786
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: multi toool that now becomes your most important offensive lineman

787
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: at that sixth position, because if anybody gets hurt, maybe

788
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: besides the center position, he's going to be the first

789
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: guy in. And Will Richardson if he doesn't in fact

790
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: beat out Cam Robinson, and then if he does. Okay, well,

791
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: guess what, Cam's gonna have to learn how to play

792
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: some guard and he's gonna have to learn play some

793
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: right to or wherever they need them at. Let's hear

794
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: again from Brandon Lender. We we've talked about guys getting

795
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: dinged up. That happens, but the dinged up could be

796
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: a little bit different this year. The social distancing and

797
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: everything that's happening in the building right now, there's one thing,

798
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: but at some point you have to line up across

799
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: from the man across from you and butt heads with

800
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: him and get face to face. As we've talked about

801
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: logs before. I asked Brandon on the call the other day,

802
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: would he consider wearing that new faced mask shield. You know,

803
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: some guys have the visor only over the eyes, but

804
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: there's an option now to wear one over the mouth

805
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: and nose part of the face mask. And I asked

806
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: him in general, was of having to be so closely

807
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: involved in the trenches. Obviously we've been socially distancing ourselves.

808
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: I've been taking this seriously. Um. I've been talking to

809
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 1: the equipment guys about that shield. I guess that goes

810
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: above right here, but I mean as hot as it's been.

811
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that's gonna be tough. But I mean,

812
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: because I mean in the trenches. I mean you're just

813
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: right here with another guy. I mean, obviously there's your

814
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: exhaling or spit. I mean, it's kind of crazy. But

815
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. I'm gonna take a look

816
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: at it. Um, I don't know. It might be too

817
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: hot in there to wear it. Yeah. Hot, and at

818
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: some point he has to make calls as well in

819
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: their offensive line. Could be a little bit of an

820
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: issue there. This is gonna be interesting to see because

821
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: you can't really know if you like wearing that until

822
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: you go try it on the practice field. They haven't

823
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: been able to wear helmets yet. Yeah, And I can

824
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: tell you this, I'm not I haven't seen um it

825
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: yet up close in person JP obviously because you know

826
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: we can't be down at stadium. UM. But I can

827
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: tell you this, essentially, what they're the objective is is

828
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: to control this area here, which is your nose, kind

829
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: of like a mask. And I had experience because you know,

830
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: the visor thing has been around for for quite some time. Well,

831
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: I remember back in the day that you know, like

832
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: a guy like Tim Cofield and Chris Doleman and and

833
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: guys wore the Darth Vader mask, you know that we

834
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: used to call it because tinted out and you can't

835
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 1: see their eyes. And I thought it looked pretty cool.

836
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: And so I was like, you know, man, I got,

837
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: I got, I think I want to try that, you know,

838
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: so it looks pretty cool. You know, maybe offensive line

839
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: won't see my eyes. I can look cool, you know,

840
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: because when you're twenty two, you know, you kind of

841
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: want to look cool too, you know. So I put

842
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: one on for a practice and and this was in

843
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: New York summertime, and it was stifling. It was it

844
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: was like this this oven, and it's it's almost like

845
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: being in a backyard jp that has twelve ft high

846
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: fencing that is totally would and there's no breeze versus

847
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: chain link fencing, and the breeze is blowing route. I mean,

848
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: it's just there's no there's no cooling effect whatsoever to

849
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: just this part. You know, so now fall sudden you're

850
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: talking all of this part right here. I mean, Brandon's right,

851
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the the heat look at if you're playing

852
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: football in December January February this might be okay, but

853
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: Jacksonville in September, Uh uh, ain't happened. Ain't happened now.

854
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if, if, if they can find a

855
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: way to do something else that wouldn't be so prohibitive

856
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: of the of the aeration part of it getting into

857
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: the helmet, I don't know. Uh, but that, but that

858
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: whole mask, face mask, plastic thing. As a player, I

859
00:46:53,360 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't wear it either. Let's come go around all league.

926
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,439
Speaker 1: Lock given from our home studios as we go around

927
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: the National Football League, the deadline for opting out came

928
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: and went for o'clock today. The players had to provide

929
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: written notice by then their intention to opt out, otherwise

930
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 1: the ability to opt out later logs will be limited

931
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: to specific changes in circumstances. That will include the player

932
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: receiving a new diagnosis of a health condition that puts

933
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: him at a higher risk, or the hospitalization or death

934
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: of a family member from COVID night in that's to

935
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: receive is talking about a little bit earlier. That's the

936
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: only way after four o'clock today that can happen. Well.

937
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: And then also, I mean, I think the opt out

938
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: stuff doesn't really end there. I think that that will

939
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: still have some players that choose to retire and uh

940
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: and then unretired. It's uh, it's not common for a

941
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: player too to change his mind. And so what the

942
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: player will do in that instance is that he doesn't

943
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: have any opt out money that will be at stake,

944
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: who will essentially walk away from his contract and he

945
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: will be paid to date. But then the other thing

946
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: that this factors in there, if the player does choose

947
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: to walk away, then the player may have to refund

948
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: a percentage of his signing bonus for the guaranteed money

949
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: that he was already paid. So that's gonna be a factor.

950
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: But I mean that is always an option for the

951
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: players that maybe after today at four pm. They're not

952
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: comfortable playing with a global pandemic that they do have

953
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: the option that they can walk away and just retire.

954
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the number is gonna be

955
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: JP And and obviously the deadline has passed now for

956
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: the players to submit their written letter in which they

957
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: opt out. UM, it will be interested to see what

958
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: the final number is, certainly, and because you know there

959
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: this is different, you know, I mean, and I think

960
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 1: the league and the coaches and everything that I've read

961
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: from their statements about when the players that does decide

962
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: to opt out, that they have been completely understanding. I

963
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: think there also has to be some understanding too that

964
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a little bit of an adjustment period

965
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: once again when the players go to having practice and

966
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: then the social distancing evaporates, and then there's games and

967
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: you're you're hitting somebody else, and you know, like Brandon

968
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: Lennard was talking about about how the face mask, you know,

969
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: you're talking right here, you know, you're swapping spit and

970
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: sweat and everything else, you know, because the contact is

971
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: face to face. I mean, that's just that's football. So

972
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: there's gotta gotta be a little adjustment period with that too.

973
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: And I think the one thing that you hope that

974
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: you don't have any hesitancy from the players, your players

975
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: when they have or they're going through that adjustment period,

976
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 1: because when you're hesitant, you're gonna get beat, uh and

977
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: also you could get hurt when you are hesitant. The

978
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: Player Association has said that fifth six players have tested

979
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: positive for COVID nineteen since the players began reporting to

980
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: training camps last week. That's about two of the players

981
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: currently on NFL rosters. You know, that's not a bad percentage, right,

982
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: That's that's a pretty small number relative. Yeah, And I

983
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: don't know the NFL hasn't tested for anybody's that I

984
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: know of, So, I mean that's just in the testing

985
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 1: protocols that they have instituted since the start of training camp.

986
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: So is the percentage higher? Obviously it would be higher.

987
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: So I'm sure that some players that were asymptomatic and

988
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: maybe never even knew that they had COVID, and some

989
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: players like von Miller that had it and they knew it,

990
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: but they didn't test positive within the league's testing procedures

991
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: that started at the opening of training camp. So it

992
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: seems like a really low number, but the reality is that,

993
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, you try to go to get that number

994
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: down to zero because if all of a sudden, you

995
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: have one outbreak, you know, then you can have a

996
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: team shut down. I mean, we saw with baseball what

997
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: it can lead to. Were to baseball teams with Miami

998
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: and St. Louis had major issues with trying to complete

999
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: a season because of outbreaks. And you hope that the

1000
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 1: NFL doesn't have that and uh and hopefully the bubble

1001
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: that they can create will be good. Now, by the way,

1002
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: the Marlins are in first place. They've won some games

1003
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: since they've started playing again, and they've got some some

1004
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: guys off of their taxi squad to come up and um,

1005
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: hey they're hot. Wouldn't that be something at the Marlins,

1006
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: of all teams, ended up in the World Series this year,

1007
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,439
Speaker 1: probably against the Yankees. Um. We mentioned this last week,

1008
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: but Vic Beasley still has not shown up for Titans

1009
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: training camp. He did not opt out either logs, so

1010
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: his fines for not reporting so far fifty dollars a

1011
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: day for unexc used absences. So it's five hundred thousand

1012
00:55:54,520 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: dollars worth of fines now for Vic Beasley. Wherever he is. Wow. Uh,

1013
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: And I think he signed like a one year prove

1014
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: it deal with Tennessee because you know, he had a

1015
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: number of years with Atlanta. You know, the Super Bowl

1016
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: year that he had he was unbelievable and then kind

1017
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: of the performance dropped significantly, and so you've got a

1018
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: one year proven deal with the Tennessee title. He's not

1019
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: proven anything right now other than being a ghost. I mean,

1020
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. Uh. You hope that the individual

1021
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 1: is is not in any trouble or doesn't have any

1022
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: family issues or anything of that nature. But man, a

1023
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: little bit of communication with uh, with the general manager

1024
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: and head coach there in Tennessee would probably do himself

1025
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: some good. Today, LUGS would have been the Hall of

1026
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: Fame game and can'ton Ohio. It's amazing that we would

1027
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: have already been teeing it up tonight at Benson Stadium

1028
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: in Kent. Playing in the Hall of Fame game stinks.

1029
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Look, I've been playing at twice and UH,

1030
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: and it was pretty cool, uh to be able to

1031
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: play in it, just for the simple fact that the

1032
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: first time that I ever played, and it was John

1033
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: Riggins induction into the Hall of Fame, and and I

1034
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: was on the field as he's driving around and he

1035
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: heat had a few beers and he's waving and doing

1036
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: his best to sit up on the back of the

1037
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: car kind of this during the thing. And then uh,

1038
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: and then the other one obviously was with the Jaguars

1039
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: and Panthers. But having the extra preseason game is like

1040
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world, and especially when Tom

1041
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: Coughlin was your head coach. I have no fond memories

1042
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: of of of the Hall of Fame game. And Steven's

1043
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: point other than it was the first year of a franchise,

1044
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: in the birth of a franchise, and all those things

1045
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: were positive, but the grind of that JP that wasn't

1046
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 1: so much fun passed on that one for you put

1047
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: you down exactly. It was a tweet earlier today James

1048
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: James Palmer NFL Network put a tweet out earlier today.

1049
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: It was one year ago. They were recovering joint practices

1050
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: between the Ravens and there was made a point about

1051
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's performances in those days. I was like, what

1052
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: this guy is is really improved. He looks great as

1053
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Well he ends up being the m v

1054
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: P in the league last year. It's unbelievable. But that

1055
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: was a year ago. Today as well, we were in

1056
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore practicing against the Ravens and those days are gone. Yeah,

1057
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's a well what would you like to

1058
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: have that back this year? You know where? Okay, you

1059
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: got your team and are preparing for a season, and

1060
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: you're watching your young guys against their young guys and

1061
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: things are normal and you're you're not worrying about socially

1062
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: distant JP. We're going to the local pub across the

1063
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: street to get a burger and a beer and maybe

1064
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: some wings. I mean, those days, those days, I just

1065
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:58,120
