There is a downtown tap room. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:49.760 I haven't been to either of them, but I was 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.040 at a place, yeah, about seven or eight years ago. 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.440 Was at their old brewery.

Right, 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.640 We're on ten to next lam Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.880 YouTube JP Shadwick, that's John Osher, Jeff Logman out this week. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.840 I'll be back with us next week. Lots to get to, 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.280 of course, the community huddles have begun with the stadium 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.920 negotiations going on. We'll get to the schedule of those 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.359 coming up in just a little bit. But the schedule 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.160 has been announced by the NFL. That was officially eight 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.960 o'clock last night, and we went through it on our 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.520 schedule release program on Jaguars YouTube. But if you weren't 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.040 able to join it, we can kind of recreate things 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.799 right here, John, you and I we'll go through. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.120 Let's start the sausages, mate, That is exactly how it's made. 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.040 We'll start off with the early part of the schedule 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.959 and weeks one through five the Jaguars at the Dolphins. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.640 Week one to start things off at one o'clock, Week 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.639 two home against the Browns, Week three Monday Night football 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.080 against the Bills on the road, and then week four 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.120 at the Texans, Week five at home against the Colts. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.800 And I'll tell you what for starting stretches as far 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.200 as they're concerned in the NFL. This is right there. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.320 It's got to be close to one of the most 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.040 difficult in the league, with three of those first four 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.640 on the road, and all the first four playoff teams. 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.480 Yeah, you knew that it was going to be a 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.360 on paper, tough schedule because of the way the AFC 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:35.400 South ended last year. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.320 Meaning you know, two. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.000 Years ago the Jaguars finished first and I'm not sure 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.640 anybody else in the division was above five hundred, So 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.480 you were going to play all your division games were 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.360 going to be against teams below five hundred. This year, 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.760 two of them were above. So it was going to 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:57.080 add on. Ten of seventeen teams have winning records last year, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.480 so five of them happened to be in that first 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:05.160 four or you know, JP. Sometimes I get criticized by fans, that's. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.080 Why you hard for you to believe. 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.040 But some people wrote to me today, you know, I 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.240 read your analysis. So it's really negative, you know, really 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.440 negative about the schedule. It's not negative. I just think 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.840 the first five games, no matter how thin you slice it, 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.680 they're tough. And you've got four division or not four 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.560 division teams, but four playoff teams in your first four 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:32.240 weeks and three of those are on the road. That 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.640 doesn't mean you can't win them. It means that when 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.640 you're trying to analyze the schedule, that sticks out, and 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.799 you know, every one of these teams on the first 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.640 five their fans, their team correctly believes they're. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:47.640 Going to the playoffs. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.359 You know, some of the ones later in the season. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.720 It would take a little bit of some serious improvement 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.880 those five teams early in the season. You know me, JP, 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.000 You've had to read my analysis for ten years now. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.320 Teams that think they're in it and believe are by 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.760 nature tough. Every one of these teams thinks they're good. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.880 Every one of these teams has reason to think they're good. 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.080 Going to Miami, they're fast. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.480 I mean, they're the fastest team in football. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.599 You come back against almost I'm not saying the Browns 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.000 aren't fast, but they play different. The Browns want to 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.479 beat you up. The Bills have a quarterback that can 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.240 beat you up by himself. And then the Texans is 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.640 a red letter circle of game. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.560 So it's we're gonna find out about this new defense 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.080 pretty quick. Well, I mean, especially against the Dolphins. How 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.359 do they cover Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle and Tua 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.479 throwing it up and all these things, and that's a 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.080 right out of the gate. Ryan Nielsen's defense will be 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:41.800 put to the test. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.680 You know, I've sort of shifted my belief a little 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:49.359 bit when analyzing defenses for this reason. I kind of 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.680 believe it out of out of thirty two teams these days, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.599 twenty seven or twenty eight of them have receivers that 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.120 are dangerous can beat you. It's how the league's played. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.800 And if you fall asleep against any team these days, 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.240 they're gonna be able to beat you in the passing game. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.159 But the Dolphins can really beat you in the passing game. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.760 They're they're one of the top two or three teams now. 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.960 Everybody knows their breakdown last year was really good against 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.120 teams that didn't make the playoffs, struggled against not I 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.160 was asked, Today's it's a bell Weather game. You know, 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.440 it's hard to know. You don't know how season's going 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.720 to play out, but you know the Dolphins are not unbeatable, 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.560 but you better cover them and you better get to 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.520 the quarterback. So it's tough. I mean, it's it's a 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.640 schedule where if you're pretty good, I think Jags are 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:42.560 pretty good. They'll manage it if you're starting out slow. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:45.479 Oops. 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.640 Yeah, it's not a good a good place to be. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.480 That moves us on to the next portion of the schedule, 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.880 and the Jaguars make the trip over to London in 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.560 Week six for the road game at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.719 to face the Chicago Bears. The next week across town 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.800 at Wimbley Stadium for the home game against the New 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.159 England Patriots. Let's just start with the London games back 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.640 to back years now two straight games. They won the 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.080 two games there last year against the Falcons and the Bills. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:17.120 This year, the game locations are reversed. It is games 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.040 two and three of the three game London stretch for 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.960 the NFL, so the second Spurs game and of course 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.040 the Wimbley game. The Jaguars do not have to change 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.240 accommodations this year. They get to stay all what ten 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.280 eleven days, are going to be there in the same place, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.760 so that helps logistically. But here you go, the Jaguars 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.040 are playing most likely two rookie quarterbacks in London. Yeah. 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:42.920 Look, on paper, there's nothing as formidable. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.680 In London as the Bills were last year. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:50.119 The Bills were in AFC East champion defending and looked 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.080 like one of the best three or four teams in football. 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.000 It was one of those. There were four or five 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.440 games last year the measuring six. There's one up. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.160 Let's take the. 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:06.559 Two specific teams, rookie quarterbacks all that. When you play 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.840 in London the way the Jaguars do, no matter who 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.920 you play. They're the only team in the NFL has 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.760 ever done it back to back. They did it last year. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.120 So what twenty five guys and most of the coaching 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:20.920 staff has done it. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.640 They know the rhythm of it. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.720 There's not many advantages in the NFL that should be 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.560 an advantage no matter who you're playing. So the way 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.560 the schedules set up, get to three and two, two 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.520 and three, I think I think the first four tough, 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.960 and me the first five are tough. People are gonna 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.000 look at this two game stretch as one where you 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.520 ought to get healthy. I think, no matter who they 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.880 were playing, you look at it that way. But in 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.319 this case, rookie quarterback four and thirteen team of the Patriots, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.200 they'll be favored to win that game. The Bears Kayler 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.000 Williams dand they'll be favored to win that game. So 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.200 but guess what about that JP doesn't. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.400 Matter, you'll play. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.319 Yeah, Wills were favored to win that game last. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.719 Year, they did, they didn't. It didn't happen. So the 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.520 Jaguars come back state side in week eight. The bye 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.840 week's a little later again this year, but they're back 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.040 home week eight right after London to host the Green 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.520 Bay Packers, and that is a one o'clock kick, and 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.280 then at the Eagles for Sunday Night Football at eight 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.000 twenty pm in week nine. Then it's onto week ten, 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.640 back home again, the Minnesota Vikings come to town. Then 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.560 the Jaguars are at the Lions in week eleven, the 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.800 bye week in week twelve, and just that four game 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:37.400 stretch there alone, Packers, Eagles, Vikings, Lions has the possibility 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.560 of being almost as difficult as the first five. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:45.000 Yeah, and on paper, first thought is on paper the 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.439 quote break game we the Vikings. He went seven to ten, 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.720 But in the last ten years, that's the worst record 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.240 the Vikings had. The Vikings to me are one of 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.320 those teams that as soon as you sit there in 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.439 August and think that they're eh, all of a sudden 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.600 they're nine and six. They started off horribly last year 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.000 and got hot late. They're not a team that's very 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:12.280 bad for very long. So the Packers, the Packers feel. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:13.439 To me like a team. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.680 People are looking at the schedule right now and thinking, well, 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.440 the Packers are okay, But you know, they look like 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:19.719 a team the way they peaked at the end of 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.320 last year that they could be a flexing time. I mean, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.520 they could challenge Detroit, and then you got Detroit. So 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.800 a couple of things with this. You you saw the 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.800 I think you saw the Eagles two years ago. Haven't 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.680 seen any of these other teams since COVID on the field. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:42.400 I think I saw the Lions in pre season, But 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.720 who knows how that's an advantage not having played not 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.840 you know, you can't really say it's advantage for either team, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.360 but it's a factor in that it's it's high level 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.679 preparation for all those four There's nothing really, there's nothing 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.079 really to refer to going in so it's gonna be 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:57.560 a long month. 0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.920 Last time I seen the Lions was the playoff your 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.520 two years ago, and they blasted the Jags in the 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.400 December up there, and then the run started after that. 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:06.960 But even then that's two years ago, so. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.040 That was the fourth and a fourth place team against 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:09.360 each other. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:09.800 That's right. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.000 The Eagles that year were in the East. This is 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.440 more of a they're playing the Eagles. Could both teams 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:16.280 were second last. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:16.840 Year, that's right. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.200 So yeah, it changes so much year to year that 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.080 if you played a team two years ago, there's not 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.800 that much to draw from. But right, you know, I 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.960 don't think the Eagles think they're gonna stink, and. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.880 I the PAS defense certainly is not going to ste. 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:37.320 The Packers feel like they're really good. So again, this 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:42.520 could be all NFL schedules are hard. They are when 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.320 you look at them. If if the Jaguars are good, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.800 they'll navigate this schedule. If they're struggling in any way, 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:50.920 it'll bring out the worst in them. 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.959 And that's with pretty much any schedule in the NFL. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.439 We're on ten to x LAM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.960 YouTube JP, Shadwick, John Osier, and it's Jaguar Happy Hour, 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.280 brought to you by Ancient City Brewing. We continue with 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.600 the schedule released last night after the bye week home 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.679 against the Texans Week thirteen at the Titans, Week fourteen, 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.920 then Week fifteen at home against the Jets. Week sixteen, 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.440 the week before Christmas, weekend before Christmas in Las Vegas 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.200 against the Raiders. Week seventeen home against the Titans, Week 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.560 eighteen at the Colts for a date and time to 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.760 be determined Saturday or Sunday in Week eighteen. That always 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:34.040 that flexible time depending on playoff implications. But four of 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.600 the last six games of the season are in the division, 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.360 All six are in the AFC, and they are alternating 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.559 homean road, which is the case throughout the season. The 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.600 Jaguars do not have back to back weeks of games 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.080 in Jacksonville this year, and this is the stretch run. 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.040 Yeah, it's. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.400 If you navigate the first we eleven and are within 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.760 a couple of games of the division, and if you're 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:04.880 a team that peaks late, you're in good shape. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:10.040 You know, you can really every ready back in. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.880 It shapes up much like two years ago did when 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.600 they were three or four games down and got hot 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.080 and were able to play the Titans. Twice they were 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.040 what down four to the Titans. Titans hit a rough 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.800 patch eggo excepting twice all of a sudden they were tied. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.360 You know, they were down four in like week eleven 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.040 and tied in seventeen, So you can make it up 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.960 quick if you wind up being better than your opponents 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.600 at that time of year. On the concern I've said 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.600 many many times this is they're older guys on this team. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.640 Will they stay healthy and peak late? That's going to 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.960 be a challenge. I'm not saying it can't be done, 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.560 but to me, it's a storyline to watch injuries on 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:57.360 this team with older players. How much they peak late 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:02.320 in the season. That is not a given with the 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.280 makeup of the roster, but it's very possible to do it. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.240 We'll find out. And I know Doug Peterson likes that 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.680 later bye week, and they got it in week twelve 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.839 to maybe kind of regroup for a run length that. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.040 But your point's good, John, I mean, they had some 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.760 veteran guys anyway, they added some more in free agency, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.160 and it's a long season. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.680 Yeah, and all of this, yeah, bear in mind they 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.680 always is very specutlive one of the great truths. And 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:29.960 I wrote it again this for tomorrow's ozone. This is 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.600 going to be a topic for the next three or 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.640 four months, and it should be. It's the schedule. There 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.320 will be charts. I'm sure there already are strength of schedule. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.040 I think I may say that Yiverys had the sixteenth 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:46.000 toughest schedule. Well okay, based on last year. Yeah, but 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.720 in the NFL these days especially, you really don't know 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.280 who's great and who's not until about week five or six. 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.200 By November of last year, remember that tight I mean 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.960 that Texans game was Battle Royale like it it was 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:09.760 everything nobody thought on September first, the Texans Jaguars in 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.000 Houston was gonna be one of the biggest games of 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:12.320 the year. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:17.200 So Barret keep that in mind. The Jets. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.280 If Rogers is on the field all year, maybe that 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:24.080 Jets game has circle the wagon. I mean, if he's 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.720 forty years old limping through the season, that Jets game 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:32.160 could be like it was two years ago. So the 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.400 dynamics of this changed so much on paper, it's very 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:36.120 very difficult. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.120 We'll see, will see, and the schedule is finally here, 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.760 of course, and you don't want to miss these matchups. 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.000 We just talked about what do you want to become 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.640 a season ticket member, catch three or more games with 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.760 bundle at the bank, or experienced the season with the 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.720 prow pass. Well, there's a plan for every fan. Get 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.960 locked in at Jaguars dot com, slash ticket or called 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.680 nine oh four six three three two thousand. John. We've 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.160 lifted some Microsoft questions from your ozone. We'll get to 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.600 those when we come back. We're both gonna be here 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.160 for a little bit. It's Jaguars Happy Hour, brought to 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:24.680 you by Ancient City Brewing. Taste History, Make History.

You have 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.560 had soccer in the stadium in a few years. I 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:49.600 think it's been a time. 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.760 Yeah, I don't remember the last time. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.680 It was. Oh gosh, it had to be thirteen fourteen times. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.400 Formless here in like a friendly and the UST I 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.600 know played here in one of the gear ups for 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.879 one of the things, and then I think the women's 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.840 team played here at one point played Scotland. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.119 I think, yeah, it's been a little bit. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.719 There's been a few, and you know, if, if not 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.600 even if when the stadium gets approved of interesting to 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.080 see what the events on those lines also get because 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.800 it'll it'll be uh, it'll be. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.159 Cool, it'll be primed and ready for other events. I 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.600 think that's part of the idea for sure. Jaguars Happy 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.400 Hour brought to you by Ancient City Brewing, Taste History, 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.919 Make History. We're on ten to XLAM Jaguars dot Com, 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:38.199 Jaguars YouTube, JP Shadwick and John Oser. Max Chadwick of 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.119 Pro Football Focus will break down the draft picks in 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.280 about ten to fifteen minutes or so. We talked a 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:48.440 little bit earlier today. Time now for the social Questions 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:53.159 presented by Microsoft. We put the cat signal out on 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.639 Twitter for x today. We didn't get any responses. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.439 I don't know what the heck's scorer is watching the PGA. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.240 The PGA champ Chips on a Thursday. Tiger played this morning. 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:08.600 It might be one over. It's not great leaders at nine, 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.760 so he better make a little run tomorrow. And it's 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:17.040 not ideal to make it to the weekend. Here are 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.680 some questions that we lifted off the ozone make Back 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.320 so we're just a straight thievery of this. This is 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.840 Michael from Orange Park. I'll be honest to your zone. 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.879 The NFL clearly has it out for the Jaguars and 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.960 always has. The schedule is brutal. I just don't see 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.159 us getting to five hundred. 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:38.120 Well, look, the schedule makers are never out to get anybody. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.400 You have thirty two teams, thirty two fan bases who 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.400 are convinced, just like in the in the fall, they're 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.480 convinced the officiating is out to get them. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.880 In this on in May. 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.159 They're convinced the officials, I mean, the schedule makers are 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.800 out to get them. They have thirty two teams trying 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.960 to get seventeen games in place, somewhat actively, somewhat fairly. 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.800 The games themselves for people. I think most people probably 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.639 know this, but the opponents are set by a formula 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:10.480 that can't be. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:12.520 Maneuvered. 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.600 The sites are also set that way. So when we 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.120 talk about a tough schedule, they were gonna play those 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.359 first five teams somewhere along the lines. It's just when analyzing, 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.800 you say, well, the first part of the season's tough. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.960 Those five games were gonna be tough Somewhere along the lines. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:36.240 So the league's not out to get them. They didn't. 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.400 They didn't give them a Thanksgiving game. They weren't out 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.959 to get them on that. I think the Thanksgiving thing, 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.560 which I got a lot of emails about today, Look, 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.439 the Jaguars fans and observers thought, well, they're gonna put 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.600 them on Thanksgiving because they've never been there. I think 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.280 that was the storyline for Jaguars fans and observers. I 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.760 don't know that the schedule makers were sitting in New 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.639 York saying, well, we've got to get at the Jags 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:05.840 on Yeah. No, they played four their national TV games 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.320 this year, or nine and eight last year. That's a 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.600 that's a nine to eight team in a small market. 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.840 That's a reasonable number, if you look at it objectively, 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.000 a reasonable number of national television slots. 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:20.640 Maybe one more. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.840 But you know what I'm saying, I don't think they 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:24.960 were trying to keep them off Thanksgiving. They weren't out 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:25.840 to get them. 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.280 And this is a safe play on Thanksgiving. I mean, 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.479 it's the it's the Bears and the Lions. Just the 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.160 most played Thanksgiving game. 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.240 There is justin field. It is no, no, no, it's 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:36.320 the new kid I'm sorry. 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.720 Yeah, either way, that's that makes sense to. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:45.359 Me, right, So yeah, it yeah, it's it's I. 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.920 Wouldn't worry about the They're not out to get a team. 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:53.879 What's the line about paranoia? It's ah, just because you're paranoid, 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.720 didn't mean they had to get or something like that. 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.840 If you want a tough schedule, look at the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.240 Six of their last eight games are division games. 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.159 Now, the other two tough to right. 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.560 The other two are the Eagles and the Chiefs. Right, 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:09.720 that's the last eight games of their season. 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:13.160 And again, there is a human element of this. Somebody 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.879 has to pick it once it's done. But they're randomly 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:22.399 pushing this through a computer with caveats of this team 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.320 wants to not play on these two weekends because of 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.840 say Florida, Georgia, because of whatever's going on in their city. 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.080 So they've got to force a lot of things into 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.720 this and try to make it as equitable and fair 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.679 as possible, trying to please thirty two teams, and we 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:37.719 all know that's not possible. 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.240 And not to mention the Steelers play on that Saturday 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.640 before Christmas and Christmas Day as well. 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.080 That better than than us absolutely. 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:50.120 Anita from Springfield. With a relationship between head coach Doug 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.880 Peterson and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, do you see 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.320 us holding joint practices with the Chiefs and do you 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.159 feel those are truly beneficial and would working with a 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:00.800 championship team be different than others? 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:04.679 Well, it's it's possible. They're the first week. 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:10.000 I think, generally speaking, the only exceptions to it. You're 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.119 speaking and coaches prefer to get that duel on that 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:17.520 second week just because you they like some time early 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:22.160 to work on themselves, get things going. Late, they sort 0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:23.919 of like to wind it down a little bit. And 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.560 that's obviously there's many exceptions to that, but that's the 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:27.399 general gist. 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:28.720 It makes sense. 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:32.240 Andy and Dougs certainly, I wouldn't be surprised if they 0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:36.040 practiced against each other. Is it different against the Chiefs? 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:36.280 Yeah. 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.720 Mahomes is there, Yes, So. 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:41.359 That makes it tougher, makes it a better test than 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:45.320 anybody else because of Patrick Mahomes working against the championship team. 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:47.320 It doesn't hurt. 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.600 You know, the Jaguars went to the AFC Championship game 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:53.600 the year that they worked against the Patriots. I'd probably 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:58.560 be stretching it to say that that was why. 0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.640 Right, But I think you get a better look at 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:03.199 how a championship organization goes about their business on a 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.000 day to day basis. And I think for that team 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:08.360 back in twenty seventeen, they certainly kind of needed that. 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.160 You know, you had no doubt a younger team, you had, 0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:13.040 you know, all that going on. Right. 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:15.520 So now my guess too with Andy and Doug. 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:21.080 Realistically, if the Jaguars, if the Chiefs are walking around 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.960 here for a week, they're probably not going to see 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.359 things done a whole lot differently on the other side 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.040 because Doug, and you know, Doug does a lot of 0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:30.800 things I'm sure the same way. 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:32.560 Dougs won his own Super Bowl, right, you know, so 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:33.120 to do it. 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:38.119 But and the answer to the question how much does 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:43.800 it help doesn't hurt? I think you can probably you know, 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:47.840 you want to make sure you have X number of 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.440 your own practices because there's stuff they're trying to get done, 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:54.159 stuff they're trying to install. There's so little time to 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:59.280 work in pads where you can work on yourself that 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.600 that's why they don't do all of them that way. 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:03.640 But having two which is what. 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.439 One week equates to two padded practicingst another team. 0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:09.360 That's fine. 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:12.960 Last year against Detroit, for example, I think one of 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:15.280 them was very spirited, the other one was. 0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:16.080 Okay. 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.160 Two's probably enough if it was. If it was four, 0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:20.800 that's fine. 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:24.520 It sounds like the second preseason week that the Buccaneers 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.280 might be the dual practice. We'll see how that goes. 0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.760 That's what you sort of hear, makes sense, so we'll see. 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:31.200 That's fine. 0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:33.359 Now the trick would be too if they go to 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:38.160 eighteen regular season games and two preseason games, would they 0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.840 add another? Could you in theory, hey, let's just do 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:44.359 more practices against other teams in lieu of a game. 0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:45.640 Yeah, I know. 0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:48.639 My guess is coaches would probably try to do that. 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:49.760 Yeah, because. 0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:55.080 I hate covering preseason games. But I think I think 0:24:55.160 --> 0:25:01.240 most football people, evaluators would like it's to at least 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:02.760 stay at three. But I don't think it's going. 0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.760 To yeah, because I mean, it is real football. At 0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.960 some point, you gotta go play against another team with live, 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:08.920 live action. 0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:09.320 Yeah. 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.240 Yeah, so at some point it is or you don't. 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.960 I don't know, depending on what the rule is. We'll 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:15.840 see what they come up with. 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:16.840 Money will dictate that. 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:20.439 Certainly will final question of the day for John Ozier. 0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.040 Jason from Jacksonville. Do you think it might take some 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:25.520 time for the offense to click this year? While a 0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:27.840 lot of players are entering year three in the system, 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:30.320 two of the top three wideouts are new. Gave Davis 0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:32.399 will be out for a chunk of the off season. 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:34.520 Do you expect it to take a few months for 0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.920 Davis and the rookie to get chemistry with Lawrence? 0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:41.560 It would it take a few months? Yeah, yeah, that's twelve. 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:43.160 He was talking about the schedule. 0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:50.080 And uh yeah, realistically they should be better week eight 0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:52.159 together than they are week one because they're going to 0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:58.040 have a time on task, game action. I think it 0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:03.720 will be imperative on Christian Kirk and Evan Ingram to 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:04.640 be the go to. 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:05.960 Guys, the bailout guys. 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:08.640 I think as long as those two are healthy, Yeah, 0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:10.760 it'll take some time to get on same page as Davis, 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:15.359 but he's also a big play deep guy. If you 0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:18.879 have Christian, Evan and ETN there is sort of your bailouts, 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:21.760 your super trust guy. I think it's gonna take some 0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:24.200 time for Brian Thomas to be that, but I don't 0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:26.639 think that's what he's being brought in for. Bucky's on 0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:30.359 our Huddle of podcast, talked about it a lot. The 0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:33.439 belief is that Christian and Evan are your best receivers 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.320 and they are the engine of your offense. 0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:37.640 You saw when Christian was out last year. 0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:42.119 Right, So those are the chemistry is a huge deal 0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:45.080 on third and eight, when you're calling a play and 0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:48.080 you're under a blitz and you've got to know exactly 0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:51.040 where a guy is and he's your bailout, that's really important. 0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:54.720 Is chemistry quite as important for the deep guy who's 0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:57.000 trying to stretch the field. It's important, But I think 0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:58.359 as long as you have it with the other guys, 0:26:58.359 --> 0:26:59.760 I think he'll be okay on this front. 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.399 I'd forgotten that Gabe Davis scored a touchdown against the 0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:05.280 Jags last year in London on the in front of Campbell. 0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:08.000 Was a pass interference call and it got called back 0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:11.080 offensive pass interference. They threw it again. It was api 0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:12.240 left side. 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.919 Where I was watching, left side, your close corner. 0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:17.360 Yeah, Jason Campbell got a p I on the play 0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:20.720 and yeah yeah got it back within one score. Uh. 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:22.720 Gabe Davis to me is a guy. Look I know 0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:26.560 questions about chemistry. Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas to me 0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:31.199 are guys who sometimes even with Ridley a little bit 0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.680 last year, I thought this was the case. It can 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:39.440 affect the game without always getting the ball. And Gabe Davis, 0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.760 you have to respect him if you're if you're playing defense, 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.320 you have to account for that or he's going to 0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:52.360 beat you. Probably the same thing with Brian Thomas. Uh 0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:57.399 with a fifth receiver on the roster, maybe the defense 0:27:57.440 --> 0:27:59.000 doesn't have to account for it as much and they're 0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:01.199 not going to get you beat. The stat will be 0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:04.800 the same one catch for eight yards, but the impact 0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:07.600 on the game because he's Gabe Davis and they know 0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:09.760 about him, because he's Brian Thomas and they know about him, 0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.120 I think will be much more so just a thought. 0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:15.840 John Oser, Jaguars dot Com senior writer. Great to see you. 0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:16.840 Thanks for coming in today. 0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:18.879 Appreciate that that's all yesterday.

Also, the Jaguars had a few 0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:25.400 signings this afternoon. A couple of veteran defensive backs, Terrell 0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:30.720 Edmunds and Trey Flowers, have been signed. Edmunds has spent 0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:33.920 a number of years in the NFL at five seasons, 0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:38.800 actually seven seasons in the NFL, and Edmunds sixty one 0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.520 two and fifteen pounds out of Virginia Tech, a first 0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.360 round pick of the Steelers back in twenty eighteen, the 0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:48.480 twenty eighth overall selection that year, and spent five years 0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:52.200 with the Black and Gold and had five interceptions with 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:55.320 the Steelers in his time there. Last year, time with 0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:59.200 the Titans and the Eagles. So a safety by trade 0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:02.800 and now part of this Jaguars defensive backfield, at least 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:05.520 on the depth chart. We'll see what happens next week 0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:08.440 is actually the start of organized team activities and they'll 0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:11.040 be their debut with the Jaguars and the practice field trade. 0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:14.720 Flowers a fifth round pick of the Seahawks back in 0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:18.280 twenty eighteen same draft, and the Flowers with a few 0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:22.960 seasons in Seattle eighteen nineteen and twenty Seattle and Cincinnati 0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:27.520 in twenty one, Cincinnati in twenty two, the Falcons last season, 0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:31.280 so Flowers winning the Jaguars as well. And linebacker Ty 0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:37.240 Summers also signed today, and the name is slightly familiar. 0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:39.720 He played with the Jaguars for three games in twenty 0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:41.800 twenty two, was part of the squad that year and 0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:43.880 then was jumped up a few times to get a 0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:46.840 little action. But started his career in twenty nineteen in 0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:50.040 Green Bay. Three seasons of the Packers and of course 0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:52.160 that little time with the Jaguars, the end of the 0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:55.240 season with New Orleans, and then last season all year 0:31:55.240 --> 0:32:00.240 in New Orleans. As well, mainly special teams contributor to 0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:02.320 squad type, so up and down, we'll see what he 0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:02.920 has to offer. 0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:03.120 Here. 0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:06.680 Those are the signings this afternoon for the Jacksonville Jaguars, 0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:09.479 and they joined the rookie classes out on the field 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.440 at least in Phase two with the veterans, and that 0:32:12.520 --> 0:32:15.680 Phase two end of today of the offseason program, they'll 0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:18.400 be with them, of course, starting Monday, Phase three, the 0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:23.880 organized team activities portion of the offseason starts, and we 0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:26.720 break down this rookie class with Max Chadwick of Pro 0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:29.760 Football Focus College Football Analysts. He's the co host of 0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:33.280 the PFF College Football Show as well, and I asked 0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:36.600 him earlier today what stood out the most about Jaguars 0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:39.240 first round pick wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior. 0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:42.160 Yeah, I think he's one of the best vertical threats 0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:45.360 in this class. Honestly, he had the highest deep receiving 0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:48.200 grade in the country this year, ninety nine point nine grade. 0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:49.560 Hard to get too much better than that on a 0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:52.440 scale of one to one hundred. Obviously, he had twelve 0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.400 touchdowns on deep rows as well twenty plus yards throws 0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:57.640 that also led the country get the most catches on 0:32:57.680 --> 0:33:00.360 deep Rosi Tho was receiving yards deep rows. He is 0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.520 a vertical threat, and I think that's exactly what the 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.680 Jacksonville Jaguars needed on offense was to get a vertical 0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:08.920 threat on offense with Trevor Lawrence there, who for better 0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.600 or for worse, loves to attack down the field, So 0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:13.960 they need a receiver that can stretch the field vertically 0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:16.520 and I think Brian Thomas Junior can do exactly that. 0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:17.760 So that's kind of what. 0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:19.960 They were missing in that offense in my opinion, And 0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.479 that's exactly the kind of player at Brian Thomas Junior is, 0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:24.880 So I'm really excited to see the fit with him 0:33:24.880 --> 0:33:25.720 and Trevor Lawrence. 0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:28.120 I think those two are going to work really well together. 0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:31.320 Yeah, And obviously Thomas last year and bad and ruers 0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:34.360 put up the most touchdowns in all of FBS and 0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:36.480 in an offense that has some weapons. Over the years, 0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:39.080 they've produced some wide receivers out of that place, and 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.840 if you have that vertical speed, then the rest of 0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:43.800 it can come at some point. I think that's the 0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:46.720 idea for the Jaguars coaching staff, is to maybe develop 0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:49.120 some more things in his game as that goes along. 0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:51.959 But when you start with the speed in this marts, 0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:52.720 that's a good start. 0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:55.760 Yeah, that's a really good start, honestly. And only the 0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:58.520 size too. He's a bigger receiver as well, got great speed, 0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:00.480 run like a four to three in the in the 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:02.840 forty yard dash, and yeah, like I said, I mean 0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:05.040 he was in that offense with Jayden Daniels who was 0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:06.920 also a great running threat, so it wasn't like Jaye 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:09.200 Nails is passing every time. And also the best receiver 0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:11.239 in college football this past year in Malik Neighbors, and 0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:14.080 yet Brian Thomas Junior still had the most receiving touchdowns 0:34:14.080 --> 0:34:16.480 as well. So even though he was the number two 0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:21.120 receiver on an LSU team, he still was extremely productive 0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:23.279 and still was one of the most productive receivers in 0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:26.480 college football even as the number two receiver. So that's 0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:28.319 why he ended up being a first round pick as well. 0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:31.200 So he's got great size, great speed, and an excellent 0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:32.720 production this past season as well. 0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:34.960 I really do. I'm a big fan of that pick 0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:36.440 for Jacksonville at number twenty three. 0:34:36.480 --> 0:34:39.160 Overall, that tells you how difficult the final year of 0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:41.480 the SEC West was as well. If they're losing a 0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.160 handful of games with that kind of offense. That's right 0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:47.080 week to week in the SEC. Good luck staying in 0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:49.880 Baton rugs. The Jaguars in the second round. Go to 0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:54.080 the defensive line and get tackle Mason Smith. All right, 0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:58.040 what stands out about him besides his impressive size and 0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:00.000 you know he's a guy that can jump in that road, 0:35:00.360 --> 0:35:02.799 I think right away, yeah, he is. 0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:05.520 Listen, Trent Balkey has a type, right, and it's why 0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:08.000 you saw Trayvon Walker go number one overall when a 0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:11.040 lot of people, including myself, thought Aiden Hutchinson probably should 0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:13.880 have been the number one overall pick. He clearly values 0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:17.319 the potential of a player more than what he is 0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:19.120 right now. And I think that's exactly the way to 0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:21.800 describe Mason Smith, who is a like you said, size 0:35:21.840 --> 0:35:22.600 speed freak. 0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:25.800 He has it. He got hurt last. 0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.840 Year, so we missed basically all the season besides like 0:35:27.840 --> 0:35:29.760 a few snaps, he got hurt in the season opener. 0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:33.680 This past season, he was solid, but I wouldn't say 0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:36.360 he was a top fifty caliber player. Like for me, 0:35:36.440 --> 0:35:38.480 I probably would have spent more of maybe a Day 0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:41.080 three pick on him, like a fourth round pick. So 0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:42.520 getting him in the second round I think is a 0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:44.239 little bit of a reach, but obviously Trent Balky is 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:46.440 a type. Like I said with Treyvon Walker there, they 0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:49.360 obviously value athleticis me saw Brian Thomas Junior be the 0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:51.680 first round pick who is kind of a lot of 0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:54.320 potential as well. Bason Smith has a lot of projection, 0:35:54.680 --> 0:35:57.399 but he obviously has a high ceiling with how good 0:35:57.480 --> 0:35:59.719 his traits are. It's just that we haven't seen the 0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:03.640 perduction to match those traits just yet for a number 0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:05.520 of reasons, you know, with the injuries and just he 0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:09.240 hasn't really developed too much LSU either. So he's definitely 0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:12.399 a developmental project for Jacksonville, and I don't love taking 0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.040 a project like that at number forty eight overall, but 0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:16.759 there's no denying he has a high ceiling and I 0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:19.239 think he could be a big time contributor for Jacksonville 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:22.240 if he develops like hopefully Trayvon Walker. 0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:24.760 Will two And they've got, you know, some some veteran 0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:29.040 players on the interior that they are expecting to play 0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:31.399 a lot of time there. Obviously, Eric Armstead brought in 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:34.799 and free agency this offseason. Roy Robertson Harris a guy 0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:37.799 who has been around now for a few years in Jacksonville, 0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:39.920 so that could give him a little bit of time 0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:43.600 to develop. Moving on to round number three, Max Chadwick 0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:47.360 with us from Pro Football Focus Jarion Jones, the cornerback 0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:51.160 from Florida State. And you know, this is a defense 0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:53.560 that has a new coordinator and they've got some changes 0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:56.040 in the secondary. A couple of veteran players are out, 0:36:57.160 --> 0:36:59.440 you know, so they've had to make some changes here. 0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:01.239 They did it in free agency, they brought in a 0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:03.560 couple of veteran players. But then they go to the 0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:08.200 draft and tell us about Jones, what where can he play? 0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:08.760 Right away? 0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:11.800 I think he's more of a slot defender. 0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:13.840 Honestly, I don't think he's got the long speech for 0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:16.120 truly being outside corner, but he's got the quickness to 0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:18.120 excel in the slot. And he's also a really really 0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:21.680 good tackler, really good run defender as well, which again 0:37:21.800 --> 0:37:25.040 translates more to being a slot corner than an outside corner. 0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:27.520 He had a ninety point one grade this past year, 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.439 is fifth best among all corners in the country, only 0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.560 zero touchdowns allowed to on four undred and fifty eight 0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:35.600 covered snaps since twenty twenty two. 0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:37.319 So I like Darian Jones a lot. 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.759 I thought Florida State's defense was extremely underrated last year, 0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:42.000 especially their secondary. I thought they one of the best 0:37:42.000 --> 0:37:45.080 secondaries in the country between Ronardo Green and Jarian Jones 0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:47.200 and Central Ciphers who's going back to school as well. 0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:49.520 I really like Jarian Jones a lot, but I think 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:51.960 he's I wouldn't expect him to be an outside corner 0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:54.400 for Jacksonville. I think he's probably more of a nickel 0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:56.000 corner in the NFL. 0:37:56.920 --> 0:38:00.799 And then moving on to the fourth round, Jaguars had 0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:04.400 a couple of picks in the fourth Javon Foster tackle 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:08.360 out of Missouri, Jordan Jefferson defensive tackle out of LSU, 0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:10.720 more of a nose tackle type. But let's start with Foster. 0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:14.400 The Jaguars at the tackle position have Cam Robinson, who's 0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:17.279 going into a contract year, who is on a big 0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:21.480 money contract, Walker Little, who is the swing tackle who 0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:23.319 is the second round pick a few years ago and 0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:26.560 hasn't been able to crack the lineup consistently, and then 0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:30.120 Anton Harrison, of course a first round draft pick last year. 0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:34.040 So where does Foster fit into the equation and what 0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:35.439 can he bring when he's out there. 0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:38.960 I think Javon Foster is more likely a swing tackle 0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:40.440 right now. I don't expect him to be in the 0:38:40.440 --> 0:38:43.200 starting lineup right now. I will say, though, I thought 0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:45.120 this guy was one of the most underrated prospects in 0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:47.360 the NFL draft, and I'm a big fan of Jacksonville 0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:49.359 Jaguar selecting him in the fourth round. Like you said, 0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:51.080 it is a kind of a crowded tackle room that 0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.920 they have right now. But there's not denying Javon Foster 0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:55.960 in the SEC over the last three years has been 0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:59.520 extremely productive as Missouri's starting left tackle. In fact, get 0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:02.879 eighty grades in every single year of the last three 0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:05.399 seasons when he's been a starter, so he has really 0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:08.799 really been an impressive player. You know, there's eleven Power 0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:11.799 five tackles since twenty twenty one that's had eighty plus 0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:14.720 greeds both as a passbuocker and as a run blocker. 0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:17.239 Javon Foster is one of them, and the other here's 0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:20.840 seven other of them. Javon Foster, Joe Alt, Talisa Flogo, 0:39:20.960 --> 0:39:23.439 Charles Cross, Peters, Keronski, Evan Neil Dewan Jones. 0:39:23.440 --> 0:39:25.000 I mean, those are all starting. 0:39:24.760 --> 0:39:26.680 NFL offensive lineman right now and a lot of them 0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:28.960 were first round picks as well. So Javon Foster's not 0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:32.560 an elite athlete, doesn't have great ben doesn't have great flexibility. 0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:35.400 But I do think he's been a really productive player. 0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:37.160 And I think down the line, if you're telling me 0:39:37.160 --> 0:39:39.360 this guy's a starting tackle down the line in the NFL, 0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:41.920 I wouldn't be too shocked, honestly. So I was a 0:39:42.000 --> 0:39:44.080 huge fan of Javon Foster coming out. I even probably 0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:45.880 would have taken him, maybe even the third round of 0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:48.080 the draft. So Jackson getting him in the fourth round 0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:50.080 that was a really good steal. And yeah, I'm a 0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:51.719 huge fan of his game, and we'll see how he 0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:53.480 could do in the NFL. But if he's anything like 0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:55.200 he was in college, he could be a very very 0:39:55.239 --> 0:39:56.200 productive player. 0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:58.880 And consistently available as well. He was out there a lot, 0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:02.200 played a lot of consecutive games at Missouri. George Jefferson, 0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:06.880 big body, nose tackle, and I loved his interview. It 0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:08.640 was on the porch after the draft. He was on 0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:11.040 his front porch. He had like a shirtless shirt T 0:40:11.160 --> 0:40:14.880 shirt or sleepless T shirt on, wrap around sunglasses. He 0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:17.960 was just kind of like that, that gritty nose tackle 0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:20.280 type and you need those guys on your D line. 0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:22.359 Absolutely, yeah. 0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:23.960 And I think it's the first time I think I 0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:25.880 saw stats the first time ever that one school took 0:40:25.920 --> 0:40:28.279 three players from the same one team, excuse me, took 0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:30.920 three players from the same school at georg Jefferson was 0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:34.320 the third LS Tiger that Trent Balky and the Jacksonville 0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:37.319 dag were selected. Here a lot like Mason Smith in 0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:39.560 some ways where he's kind of still a raw player 0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:41.799 that needs to develop a little bit. But there's note 0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:44.000 denying he's got great tools. I mean he tested as 0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:47.120 a well above average athlete. He had thirty four bench 0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:49.760 press reps, which were in the ninety fourth percent tile 0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:52.839 for defensive tackles even with longer arms too. 0:40:52.960 --> 0:40:53.759 Usually when you have. 0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:55.400 A lot of bench press reps as a guy with 0:40:55.480 --> 0:40:57.480 shorter arms, because obviously it's easier to get it up 0:40:57.520 --> 0:41:00.600 we have shorter arms, when you have long arms like Jefferson, 0:41:00.640 --> 0:41:02.359 it's harder to put up that many reps. And yet 0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:05.319 he's that just shows how strong of a player he is. 0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:07.319 He's able to stack and shed blockers in the run 0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:10.440 game really well. He holds up really well against double teams, 0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:13.120 good burst off the ball, even though he's not covering 0:41:13.120 --> 0:41:15.640 a lot of ground. I think he's a solid athlete overall. 0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:17.160 Now the problem with him is he's just not much 0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:18.840 of a pass rusher right now. He has a sixty 0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:21.400 one grade in pass rushing over this past season. 0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:23.320 He's kind of still developing technically. 0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:25.440 But I think as a run defender, he's a very 0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:28.040 strong player, will hold up against double teams, cause stack 0:41:28.080 --> 0:41:30.080 and shed blockers. He's got a good burst as well. 0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:33.440 He's a good athlete, just gotta get some refinement I 0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:35.600 think in his game, especially as a pass rusher. For 0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:37.560 it could be a full time starter for a team. 0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:39.680 But if you're asking him just to be a guy 0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:41.919 who could eat up double teams and stack and shed 0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:43.759 in the run game on first and second down, that's 0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.120 something I think you could do pretty quickly. So that's 0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:48.400 probably what Jacksonville has in mind for him right now, 0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:50.520 and I think that's something he's he should be able 0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:52.279 to do pretty quickly in his rookie year. 0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:55.319 Max Chadwick, pro football focused analyst and the co host 0:41:55.360 --> 0:41:59.080 of the PFF College Football Show, joining us all Right, 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:02.080 well group the last four draft picks in kind of 0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:04.360 the same window. Here Deandrey Prince from Ole Miss the 0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:07.560 corner back in the fifth round, Keeland Robinson, Texas running 0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:10.280 back and kick returner in the fifth round, Cam Little, 0:42:10.360 --> 0:42:13.600 the twenty year old kicker at Arkansas on the sixth round, 0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:17.480 and Miles Cole defensive end Texas Tech. Obviously, these a 0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:21.120 lot of times will be special teams contributors and maybe 0:42:21.120 --> 0:42:23.920 developed a lot of times fighting to make the roster 0:42:24.040 --> 0:42:26.759 in the later rounds, especially in the seventh round. Cam 0:42:26.840 --> 0:42:29.640 Little should be here as the kicker. Robinson might have 0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:33.480 a chance as a kick returner, but of those you 0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:36.160 know three position players will leave the kicker out of it. 0:42:36.600 --> 0:42:40.360 Who could make the most impact early? Who has the 0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:42.800 better chance to make this team? 0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:43.359 Yeah? 0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:44.040 Good question. 0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:46.920 I think it's kind of a cop out answer, considering 0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:48.400 he was the highest drafted of all of them. I 0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:50.400 think Theatre Prince is an interesting guy. I mean, he 0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:53.080 has seventy plus grades and all three years the starter 0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:56.000 at Ole Miss. He's really good in his own covers, 0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:58.800 really really good run defender as well. He ran a 0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:01.480 four to three eight forty yards. The problem with him 0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:03.120 and why he went a little bit lower in the draft. 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:04.440 You know you hear all those stats, and like, well, 0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:06.200 how did this guy add up falling in the fifth round. 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:09.759 He's only one hundred eighty four pounds at six feet tall, 0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:11.239 and he's a guy that really loves to play in 0:43:11.280 --> 0:43:14.560 press coverage. That's just not really something that could happen 0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:16.520 in the NFL if you're only one hundred eighty four pounds, 0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:19.600 like you could get bodied by bigger receivers in the NFL. 0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:20.520 At that size. 0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:22.520 So he's got to get stronger if he wants to 0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:24.880 become more of a press corner. But even at one 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:26.480 hundred eighty four pounds, like I said, I mean, he 0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:28.440 was holding up one press coverage and he was a 0:43:28.440 --> 0:43:31.600 great run defender too. Usually those smaller corners like that, 0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:34.440 that's where you see them get get tossed around a 0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:37.280 little bit in the run game, and then in press coverage. 0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:40.280 DeAndre Prince plays bigger than what he's listed at honestly. 0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:41.920 So I think he could be a really good special 0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:44.480 team contributor for them, And I think he could be 0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:47.200 a guy that needs to add just some strength, but 0:43:47.239 --> 0:43:49.640 he could be a good press corner in the league. 0:43:49.719 --> 0:43:51.880 So I, like I said, special team is probably going 0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:54.400 to be a guy that's going to be used early 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:56.520 on in his career, but if he adds some weight 0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:59.799 and add some strength, he could contribute more as a 0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:02.920 defensive player, maybe as a rotational defensive back for Jacksonville. 0:44:02.920 --> 0:44:04.480 Don't know if we'll ever be a full time starter 0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:07.040 for them, but I think as a rotational guy, he 0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:08.839 could be a guy in that rotation for sure. So 0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:10.920 I like Deatrick Prince a lot, and I think he's 0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:13.640 an interesting guy in that secondary. Again, I won't expect 0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:15.239 him to take too much of an impact on the 0:44:15.280 --> 0:44:17.799 defense immediately, but as a special teams player, I think 0:44:17.800 --> 0:44:19.759 he definitely there's definitely a role for him on that 0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:22.239 special teams because of his mentality. Honestly, I think his 0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:24.400 mentality in the run game is mentality and press coverage. 0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:26.920 That's something that could really translate well to special teams 0:44:26.960 --> 0:44:29.280 because really special teams is all about mentality a mostly, 0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:30.640 So you got to go out there and give it 0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:32.680 your all on every play, and I think Deadrick Prince 0:44:32.680 --> 0:44:34.520 will probably be able to do that for Jacksonville. 0:44:35.040 --> 0:44:38.000 Max Chadwick pro Football Focus analysts and the co host 0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:41.640 of the PFF College Football Show.

And just as a team, you know, just 0:45:16.480 --> 0:45:21.040 you know, have a reef as mindset and I hugy mindset, 0:45:21.080 --> 0:45:24.280 ready for another opportunity to you know, play in February. 0:45:24.280 --> 0:45:29.359 And James, that's Tyson Campbell, Jaguars fourth year cornerback, Welcome Back. 0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:32.000 Its Jaguars Happy Hour brought to you by Ancient City 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:36.160 Brewing Taste History, Make History. And the full conversation with 0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:40.080 Campbell available at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Caught 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:42.279 up with him in the building here at the middle 0:45:42.320 --> 0:45:47.719 of Electric Center, just down the hall from the Hundai Studios. 0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:50.240 I guess that was on Wednesday. What is today? Thursday? 0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:52.279 I guess it was tuesday. It was Tuesday. I talked 0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:55.280 to Tyson a big year obviously contract here for Tyson 0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:58.560 Campbell coming up, and he missed six games last season, 0:45:59.040 --> 0:46:02.320 had a hamstring shoe came back late in the year, 0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:06.319 just wasn't right the back half, and you know he's 0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:09.839 he's geared up and ready to go now going into 0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:14.120 this now fourth season in the National Football League. Of course, 0:46:14.360 --> 0:46:18.200 one interception last year, ended up with sixty tackles for 0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:22.040 the season, but only played in eleven games a year before. 0:46:22.080 --> 0:46:26.320 It was really his best year easily, seventeen games, three interceptions, 0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:30.080 forced fumble, and the guy was all over the field, 0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:33.000 making tackles and really improving as it went along. And 0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.879 hopefully that's the case moving ahead, new defense and maybe 0:46:36.960 --> 0:46:39.440 a new feel on the outside for him, and we'll 0:46:39.480 --> 0:46:42.040 see if that carries over. And the twenty twenty four 0:46:42.160 --> 0:46:44.839 schedule is here, of course, it was announced last night, 0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.440 and so are single game tickets, so don't miss your 0:46:48.480 --> 0:46:51.319 favorite matchups. Be at the bank when the Jags take 0:46:51.400 --> 0:46:54.719 on the biggest names and teams in the NFL. Lock 0:46:54.800 --> 0:46:56.719 in seats for your favorite matchup, and you can do 0:46:56.719 --> 0:46:59.640 it right now, go to Jaguars dot com, slash tickets 0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:02.960 or call nine oh four six three three two thousand. 0:47:04.000 --> 0:47:06.840 Our thanks to John Oser and PFF analyst Max Chadwick 0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:10.560 for joining us. It's time for keeping it real. Insert 0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:14.520 sponsor here. Less than a month until the players are 0:47:14.560 --> 0:47:16.759 out of here for the offseason program. That's about as 0:47:16.800 --> 0:47:19.120 real as it gets, by the way. But OTAs organized 0:47:19.120 --> 0:47:24.200 team activities start next week and Monday May twentieth is 0:47:24.239 --> 0:47:26.359 the first one open to media. The first of each 0:47:26.400 --> 0:47:30.319 week will be open to media, no fans allowed, So 0:47:30.680 --> 0:47:33.680 May twentieth, May twenty eighth, June third, we'll have eyes 0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:35.919 on what's going on out there, and then mandatory mini 0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:38.800 camp the week after that June ten, eleven, and twelve, 0:47:39.200 --> 0:47:41.840 And in years past, if there's enough participation in the 0:47:41.920 --> 0:47:45.200 voluntary portion, the veterans a lot of times get that 0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:49.080 mandatory mini camp away. I believe was the case last year, 0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:51.840 and from all accounts from what we've heard from Doug Peterson, 0:47:51.880 --> 0:47:54.480 the attendance has been pretty good up to this point, 0:47:54.760 --> 0:47:57.640 so that's a good sign. And there are certain rules 0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:02.080 of course that are you know, extended a little bit 0:48:02.120 --> 0:48:06.120 more in this offseason program when Phase three rolls along 0:48:06.160 --> 0:48:08.840 in the OTA, so you can be in the building 0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:11.360 six hours a day, two hours max on the field. 0:48:11.760 --> 0:48:15.160 Helmets are allowed for the first time, no live contact, 0:48:15.160 --> 0:48:17.560 no one on ones but there is eleven on eleven 0:48:18.440 --> 0:48:22.560 offense versus defense and special teams drills that are allowed 0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:26.919 starting next week for the next four weeks, so we'll 0:48:26.960 --> 0:48:30.040 get a good idea maybe of or at least a 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:33.800 glimpse of what the thoughts are and what this kickoff 0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:36.440 rule looks like, because special teams drills will be allowed. 0:48:36.440 --> 0:48:40.680 And then eleven on eleven. As we said, no live contact, 0:48:40.680 --> 0:48:43.120 no tackling, none of that stuff, but you'll get to 0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:45.440 see some We'll at least get to see some guys 0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:50.520 move around, and it's the next step in this offseason program. 0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:56.120 And finally it's gets started next week and they're limited 0:48:56.120 --> 0:48:58.439 to a few for the first couple weeks, and then 0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:00.759 they can cram in four I think, and week three 0:49:01.520 --> 0:49:05.520 and then finally the three practices in that mandatory mini camp. 0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:09.040 So we're closing in on the dead zone. And it 0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:12.319 has come quickly, this offseason program flying along. It just 0:49:12.360 --> 0:49:15.680 feels like that Super Bowl so late this year. Then 0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:18.440 the combine came and then all of a sudden, it's 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:22.319 free agency at mid March, and then oh gosh, here 0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:27.160 we go into the off season program begins in mid April, 0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:29.879 and then the draft hits, and now the draft's over 0:49:29.920 --> 0:49:31.759 and the rookies are here, and then we're just in 0:49:31.840 --> 0:49:35.279 about four weeks time they're all gone and then it's 0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:39.439 back for training camping in late July. So that's coming 0:49:39.520 --> 0:49:43.400 up next week and we're excited to see it, and 0:49:43.440 --> 0:49:45.160 we'll have all the coverage, of course, right here on 0:49:45.520 --> 0:49:48.600 Jaguars Radio and Jaguars dot com.
