Speaker 1: this house in this living room with her without beer.
Speaker 1: No beer today, of course, welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: no beer yet. J P. Shattrick from the home studio
Speaker 1: on this Thursday, June eleven. It has been a little
Speaker 1: while since we've been into the actual studio of the stadium.
Speaker 1: March nineteenth was the last show we did at t
Speaker 1: I A A bank Field. We've been here ever since.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be here for a while. It feels like
Speaker 1: we've got a program. Today. Will review the Jaguars speeches
Speaker 1: from the last week or so, starting last Friday with
Speaker 1: the walk to j s O. And then we'll review
Speaker 1: Tuesday's walk with Leonard Fournette and Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry.
Speaker 1: You'll hear some of those speeches coming up little football
Speaker 1: Talk with senior writer John Ozier and analyst Jeff Loghuman
Speaker 1: as well. We'll go around the National Football League as
Speaker 1: we continue the offseason program. A tweet Earlier today, Mark
Speaker 1: Long of the Associated Press put out a screenshot of
Speaker 1: Charles Jones's Instagram a tight end out of New Orleans
Speaker 1: and Tu Lane and there was a meeting. There was
Speaker 1: a photo of him and one box and Shot count
Speaker 1: on the other box. And apparently yesterday Jaguars owner Shot
Speaker 1: con I met with the Jaguars team over zoom. Around
Speaker 1: one hundred people involved, players, coaches, staff around the team
Speaker 1: as well, And basically, Shot Khan did what he said
Speaker 1: he would do. He talked with the players and listened
Speaker 1: and he see sarious about the change happening, and we'll
Speaker 1: see what the next steps are. But following up on
Speaker 1: his op ed from last week, Shot John sitting down
Speaker 1: with his team this week, John Osier joins us now
Speaker 1: senior writer Jaguars dot Com. Back yet again, here we are, John,
Speaker 1: what's up? John? Are good? How are you? How are you? Sir? Good? Good?
Speaker 1: Ray talks and football Ray talks in day. Yeah. Well, um,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. You know, there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: between now and that to come. Um, let's start with
Speaker 1: everything that's happened the last week or so since this program,
Speaker 1: there have been two Jaguars involved marches one of those
Speaker 1: from the stadium to j s SO last Friday, and
Speaker 1: then on Tuesday, Leonard Fournette with the mayor and the
Speaker 1: sheriff and a little duval had a meeting on the
Speaker 1: front steps of the city Hall and then they had
Speaker 1: to march downtown. Leonard Fournett spoke after the fact as well,
Speaker 1: it's a lot going on, a lot of moving pieces
Speaker 1: right now, and it seems like the Jaguars are that
Speaker 1: the players are certainly involved in this heavily, and I
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to slow down at all. The
Speaker 1: momentum is there now. And you were at both events JP,
Speaker 1: and you know it's uh, it just strikes you that
Speaker 1: right now, it's uh. The focuses on how do we
Speaker 1: continue and make this unbelievable uh change and unbelievable awareness
Speaker 1: and conversation, I guess the best way to put it,
Speaker 1: how do we have that continue to be productive and
Speaker 1: continue to make a difference, you know, all tease the
Speaker 1: Other Zone podcast next week a little bit next week,
Speaker 1: So've Done podcast talked to Marx Collard and Terror of
Speaker 1: UH and I think people who watched it on Friday
Speaker 1: realized the terror of Wisky, who's sixty five years old,
Speaker 1: forty five years in the league. Lane Glass, coach for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, was incredibly moved and sincere about what the
Speaker 1: Jaguars of the team, Doug marown shot con, the players,
Speaker 1: how this had come together, and how um open and
Speaker 1: honest and sincere on shot Con and Dug maro owns
Speaker 1: part as to have these conversations to make a difference.
Speaker 1: So I hope people listen to that podcast because it
Speaker 1: really expanded on a lot of what was said at
Speaker 1: these at these marches in a way that maybe is
Speaker 1: uh able to go a little deeper. But I think
Speaker 1: that's the idea right now, is the conversations and the
Speaker 1: willingness to talk about these what has been for years
Speaker 1: sensitive awkward issues is incredibly uh you know accepting. Right
Speaker 1: now people are are wanting to have a conversation. How
Speaker 1: do they continue that and make it all matter? All right?
Speaker 1: That is what I feel like the tone I'm sure
Speaker 1: Con was on Zoom Calls players yesterday. That's where they're
Speaker 1: trying to get to. Next, we'll hear some of those
Speaker 1: speeches from the last few days. Coming up with the
Speaker 1: next segment, we'll hear from Terry Rabiscue as well his
Speaker 1: speech on the steps at j s O last Friday.
Speaker 1: As you mentioned there, John will we'll hear the entire
Speaker 1: speech of him and Chris Connelly coming up. Then we'll
Speaker 1: also hear Leonard four Nette and Mayor Curry. And as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, for for this to really move forward and
Speaker 1: carry that momentum um, there has to be a purpose.
Speaker 1: And uh you know ye that the purpose is fine,
Speaker 1: but have a little teeth behind the purpose, right if
Speaker 1: for lack of a term. Now that's what Leonard Fournette's
Speaker 1: did on Tuesday. First off, it was supposed to be
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette starting downtown leading a march right then
Speaker 1: the night before Mary Curry says, hey, I'll be joining
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette, And then you heard that Sheriff Mike
Speaker 1: Williams was going to be there. Will duval the whole
Speaker 1: rest and then the hours leading up to that event,
Speaker 1: the statue is taken down in him in Plaza downtown.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of news moving in a in
Speaker 1: a lot of a short period of time there. But
Speaker 1: wonder for net with the mayor of the city, with
Speaker 1: the sheriff, I don't know if you can get much
Speaker 1: bigger than that at this time now. And you know,
Speaker 1: I give a Leonard for not a lot of credit.
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, you know he has had since
Speaker 1: he's been here. Uh, things that different things have been
Speaker 1: said about, you know, all the stuff that happened in
Speaker 1: his first couple of years. Just in the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks or months, you know, the Jaguars decided not
Speaker 1: to pick up the fifty year option, which certainly leaves
Speaker 1: his future with the team. You know, you just don't know.
Speaker 1: He hasn't signed a long term perhaps he will, perhaps
Speaker 1: he won't, but still to make the commitment to the
Speaker 1: city to call this his second home. You know that
Speaker 1: he could have easily done that in Baton Rouge or
Speaker 1: of where he grew up, where he is absolutely a lesson.
Speaker 1: It very comfortable to do that then, Um, but you
Speaker 1: didn't hear so a lot of credit to him, you know,
Speaker 1: I've been around him. To me, it was absolutely fantastic
Speaker 1: that he did that here. I thought the words that
Speaker 1: he used, the things that he said, Ah, you made
Speaker 1: perfect sense to getting the mayor involved. All that. Again,
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, you couldn't have imagine he's situations happening
Speaker 1: in the way they played out the growth all of that.
Speaker 1: When I talked to Marcus and Terry on on this call,
Speaker 1: and I'll refer to that to some of things that
Speaker 1: said are really interesting. Marcus talked a lot, and I
Speaker 1: think when I would say the same thing and now
Speaker 1: is when it gets difficult because the tendency of these
Speaker 1: things like this is you have a couple of mark,
Speaker 1: you make some very public place, and then you get
Speaker 1: back to life. Okay, it's football season, We're getting back.
Speaker 1: Everybody involved is saying, how do we make sure that
Speaker 1: this passion, this discussion keeps going once it's not our
Speaker 1: daily focus. So again, for the same way, answer the
Speaker 1: first question. I think that's what everybody's thinking about. Now. Look,
Speaker 1: there's football seams to play. We know this stuff has
Speaker 1: to happen. How do we continue to march strong or
Speaker 1: to walk strong on this when it's not when the
Speaker 1: emotion of the first wave of the moment is gone,
Speaker 1: as Connelly said, making a movement, not a moment, that's
Speaker 1: probably the best way to fine. Johnson, with US senior
Speaker 1: writer Jaguars dot Com, not a football john the off
Speaker 1: season program coming to an end. Well, Tom Peli Sero
Speaker 1: of NFL Network reporting this week that the NFL has
Speaker 1: notified teams the virtual period for the off season work
Speaker 1: will be extended through June, but no in person mini
Speaker 1: camps this month, So clubs have the option now John
Speaker 1: to extend their virtual off season program another two weeks
Speaker 1: or discontinue it after this week. Curious what the Jags
Speaker 1: will do. And as we had mentioned the last week
Speaker 1: or two, doesn't sound like there'll be anything on the
Speaker 1: unfield this offseason program. And it's winding down a bit here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it feels like there's always thinks maybe people don't really
Speaker 1: get because it's not very publicized, but usually OK, and
Speaker 1: maybe camp and this week that's when or many campaigns
Speaker 1: and o tas are over. So the processes that we
Speaker 1: all write about and talk about kind of stopped this
Speaker 1: week and all off season. But the rookies stay around
Speaker 1: for a couple of more weeks to get further acclimated
Speaker 1: to me with Marcus Pollard, to actually player development, to
Speaker 1: get to get their feet wet. You know, I would
Speaker 1: use the phrase to keep finding out where the bathrooms are,
Speaker 1: just to sort of know a way around the NFL
Speaker 1: before camp starts, which comes up fast. My impression is
Speaker 1: leading the social off season open gives them, gives teams
Speaker 1: a chance to continue that process. It gives teams a
Speaker 1: chance to continue meeting with veterans who want to be
Speaker 1: involved with it. I don't have the information on I
Speaker 1: think Doug is gonna speak tomorrow or I'm sure we'll
Speaker 1: speak at some point soon. I'm sure he'll tell us
Speaker 1: exactly how much meetings they're going to have, how this
Speaker 1: will continue. But you know, I have thought for a
Speaker 1: while that it would be training camp before we see
Speaker 1: players on the field any kind of an official capacity,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, unfortunately, unfortunately, it feels like that.
Speaker 1: There's also some reports this week John that the league
Speaker 1: and the players Association are discussing trimming the preseason down
Speaker 1: to two games. Um. That would be quite a change,
Speaker 1: I think a change that a lot of folks around
Speaker 1: the league would enjoy. Um. But hey, you know, that's
Speaker 1: a that's a huge move considering everything that's happened the
Speaker 1: last few months. Well, so much of this and I'm
Speaker 1: not a scientist or a doctor, but with COVID, so
Speaker 1: much of it is reduced the risk as much as possible,
Speaker 1: reduced people being in contacting to as much as possible.
Speaker 1: So the NFL wants to play a regular season. So
Speaker 1: in the time leading up to that, I've heard some
Speaker 1: people say, well, they're being too cautious and all this.
Speaker 1: I would assume from the NFL's point of view, there's
Speaker 1: no such things too cautious in this. So one more
Speaker 1: cautious step is instead of having these guys in a
Speaker 1: full contact, no holds barred, breathing and sweating on each
Speaker 1: other situation, Uh, let's give that another two weeks, three
Speaker 1: weeks because this whole thing has happened in three week
Speaker 1: periods because of the quarantine. You get a self quarantine
Speaker 1: and somebody comes up positive. Let's give ourselves one more
Speaker 1: three weeks four weeks segments. Uh, because so much has
Speaker 1: changed in that period of time. Is so often during
Speaker 1: all this, the more time, the better, it feels like
Speaker 1: to me, Yeah, and you hit it right on the hedge, John.
Speaker 1: The regular season games are the ones that bring in
Speaker 1: the TV money. That's how that works. So they're the ones.
Speaker 1: And I think we saw in two thousand and eleven
Speaker 1: when everything was sort of truncated and there was no
Speaker 1: off season because of the lockout. At the very beginning
Speaker 1: of that season, there was a sense of Okay, the
Speaker 1: first couple of games, maybe a little sloppier because there's
Speaker 1: been no off season. Maybe you make that argument, but
Speaker 1: by the end of the season, I don't think anybody
Speaker 1: was thinking about that being a a different sort of season.
Speaker 1: The lockout hadn't effected that. I think that was the
Speaker 1: year the Giants beat the Patriots. That season in terms
Speaker 1: of history, it's not viewed with an aster. There's no difference.
Speaker 1: I don't think losing a couple of Priests games and
Speaker 1: maybe having a little bit of slopping us at the
Speaker 1: start is going to affect how people feel about this season.
Speaker 1: Their idea is, let's get sixteen regular seasons, then let's
Speaker 1: get the playoffs in, and let's have this as normal
Speaker 1: as possible in what obviously won't be a normal season.
Speaker 1: John Osan Weathers, Senior writer, Jaguars dot Com. The Jags
Speaker 1: announced today that Doug Marone and Todd wash the defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: will speak with the media. Tomorrow's the final time in
Speaker 1: the off season program that head coach Doug Marone will
Speaker 1: speak of the media. It's been every other Friday or
Speaker 1: so this off season, and since the last time he
Speaker 1: spoke with the media. Uh, he spoke at the at
Speaker 1: the rally on last Friday, but of course that was
Speaker 1: all around that rally. We'll hear a little football stuff tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm interested in how this week has gone since then.
Speaker 1: Now the conversations have have built around everything going on
Speaker 1: right now on this football team, and then it's the
Speaker 1: last chance to get with him in the off season.
Speaker 1: So what on would you like to hear from Doug
Speaker 1: morov A good question, Like everybody is so focused on
Speaker 1: non football topic, hadn't thought about that much? Um, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I think people are gonna want to find
Speaker 1: out now that you've seen the off season. It hasn't
Speaker 1: been on the field. But the storyline is sort of
Speaker 1: being Gardner Minshew taking over a lot of Zoom meetings
Speaker 1: by himself, Gardner Minshew being very much he has to
Speaker 1: have found a way or it sounds like he has
Speaker 1: found a way to make it as much his team
Speaker 1: as possible in a virtual way. And I think now
Speaker 1: that Doug's seen the entirety of that, I'm sure he'll
Speaker 1: speak to that. Uh. Beyond that, really, the Zoom calls
Speaker 1: on Friday JB. They haven't been incredibly newsworthy in terms
Speaker 1: of football because the coach is getting on there and
Speaker 1: talking about how he gotta how he held a teleconference
Speaker 1: with some players. So there's not a whole lot of
Speaker 1: news out of that, but I do think you'll hear.
Speaker 1: I think Todd may be more interesting for me football
Speaker 1: newsy point of view, because I'm sure he's gonna get asked,
Speaker 1: what in the world defense are you actually run it?
Speaker 1: There's been all this talk about that. Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 1: sure that's gonna be a topic. I think fans football
Speaker 1: on the one types of probably last. On the more
Speaker 1: of that, maybe it's an insight into how Todd and
Speaker 1: Doug Bows feel about what exactly are they going to
Speaker 1: try to do defensively. My guests JP is they won't
Speaker 1: say very much. I was gonna say you you might ask,
Speaker 1: but you might not find out either. That's okay, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think Todd's going to get on the white
Speaker 1: board and and explain exactly where Josh Allen's gonna line
Speaker 1: up on every play, and I guess is that won't happen.
Speaker 1: Virtual whiteboard That's what we're gonna have tomorrow with Todd
Speaker 1: watching of course, that's not going to happen, but it'll
Speaker 1: be good to hear from him and head coach Duck
Speaker 1: Moron tomorrow. Oshan, we'll look forward to that podcast next week.
Speaker 1: It comes out on mondays On Podcast this week with
Speaker 1: Terry Robiski and Marcus Pollard. Good stuff. It's honestly, it's
Speaker 1: it's really worth the listen because they really went into
Speaker 1: detail about how it kind of came together and played
Speaker 1: out and these feelings behind it as it approached. So
Speaker 1: I certainly enjoyed it. I learned something I think people
Speaker 1: will too. But thank you. Oh, just have a great weekend, alright,
Speaker 1: Buddy John Osan, senior writer Jaguars dot Com jointing us
Speaker 1: to kick off Jaguars Happy Hour. Good thoughts there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it will be um curious to hear what Todd wash
Speaker 1: has to say. Haven't heard from him on the record
Speaker 1: this really this entire offseason. What have they been up
Speaker 1: to at defensive meeting room. We'll find out a little
Speaker 1: bit of that tomorrow, And of course Doug Moron, I'm
Speaker 1: sure we'll be asked about the last week or so
Speaker 1: with his football team and um, how the group maybe
Speaker 1: has come together, not that they weren't before. But this
Speaker 1: kind of thing can bring a group together and how
Speaker 1: they're gonna move ahead. Maybe we'll find out tomorrow morning
Speaker 1: about him thirty or so, I think the scheduled time
Speaker 1: for that one time now for the community spotlight. Atlantic

Speaker 1: an eventful week. Tropical Smoothie Cafe is open for business
Speaker 1: and ready to serve you. They're open for carry out, delivery,
Speaker 1: online ordering, and drive through service. Tropical Smoothie appreciates your
Speaker 1: continued support. Our thanks to John Osier, Jaguars dot com
Speaker 1: senior writer for joining us. As we said, it has
Speaker 1: been an eventful week and it started really a little
Speaker 1: over a week ago and Jaguar's owner Shot Con wrote
Speaker 1: an released an op ed piece describing his background, his history,
Speaker 1: and his vision for moving ahead, including with the players
Speaker 1: and coaches and staff on his football team. And then
Speaker 1: on Friday, Jags players, coaches, in front office staff march
Speaker 1: from t I a bank field of the steps of
Speaker 1: the j s O about a mile away. Before the march,
Speaker 1: D J. Churt spoke, Josh Lambeau spoke former lineman and
Speaker 1: our team chaplain Maurice Williams addressed the crowd as well.
Speaker 1: And then once after steps, former Jaguars tied in and
Speaker 1: out j S O officer Ernest Wilford spoke briefly to
Speaker 1: that group assembled and he said that their messages will
Speaker 1: be conveyed inside the j S. So then it was
Speaker 1: time for Jack's running backs coach Terry Robisky. Now a
Speaker 1: little background if you're not familiar with Robisky. He joined
Speaker 1: the team before the last season, before the twenty nineteen campaign.
Speaker 1: He's from Louisiana. He signed with l s U and
Speaker 1: the signing class of seventy three, only two years after
Speaker 1: l s U signed their first African American players. By
Speaker 1: the way, he was an eighth round pick of the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Played for the Raiders and Dolphins in his career. Now,
Speaker 1: that career was injury shortened a bit after five seasons,
Speaker 1: but he immediately went into coaching in the NFL and
Speaker 1: he's been in the NFL as an assistant since nineteen two.
Speaker 1: Think about that for a while. Long career and his
Speaker 1: perspective for what is happening in the NFL and around
Speaker 1: this movement is certainly rare. Here's what Robiski said on
Speaker 1: the steps last Friday. I guess as the Vegian, the
Speaker 1: veteran on his staff, the old the guy get to
Speaker 1: do it, but just to touch a little bit on
Speaker 1: what Marcus talked about. When Marcus spoke earlier, he spoke
Speaker 1: about his his grandmother. Say, his grandmother was in a
Speaker 1: march and she got spent on a couple of times.
Speaker 1: I feel like I was in the march with her.
Speaker 1: I've been doing these for so long. Uh. I was
Speaker 1: in my first march. I think back in nineteen sixty seven,
Speaker 1: nine six, the first time we had a march, and
Speaker 1: I been through about three or four NFL strike since then.
Speaker 1: I've had a bunch of marches since then. A little
Speaker 1: bit of what Josh was speaking on is as Americans,
Speaker 1: I think march is the way we have to let
Speaker 1: our voice be heard. And all those places I've been,
Speaker 1: this is my I think my eight NFL team I've
Speaker 1: been with, and I think the biggest thing for me
Speaker 1: was sitting on the sitting in a meeting on Tuesday
Speaker 1: and they hear the head coach, the head coach of
Speaker 1: the organization step up and say we're gonna say something.
Speaker 1: I think as we all travel through life, we see
Speaker 1: we see actors, we see actresses, we see athletes, we
Speaker 1: see people all the time as an individual making statement.
Speaker 1: We see Uh, some big name actors step out front
Speaker 1: and get arrested for what they believe in because they
Speaker 1: want to make a statement. We see Lebron James say things,
Speaker 1: we see Floyd mill Weather say things. This is the
Speaker 1: first time I can tell you, guys, in my lifetime,
Speaker 1: I felt the organization, an organization said something to have
Speaker 1: a head coach to step up with his family, to
Speaker 1: have a general manager to speak to all the players
Speaker 1: in white and said we're gonna make a statement. I
Speaker 1: have never in my forty five years in the NFL,
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. And then I have the owner
Speaker 1: to come out and release the article he released and
Speaker 1: the racism that he felt and he still feels today
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. To the city of Jacksonville. I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: we're here today as this group, all of Jacksonville, be proud.
Speaker 1: You have something I promised to be brought off. Everybody
Speaker 1: walking out here that they have a shirt on and
Speaker 1: they said black lives matter m and it does. I
Speaker 1: swear to God, I'm black. My kids are black. I'll
Speaker 1: tell Josh, Josh, you may not see the results from this,
Speaker 1: but your grandkids will, your kids will, their kids will.
Speaker 1: We're watching today because a black man got killed and
Speaker 1: it started with that. And I know these T shirts
Speaker 1: read black lives matter. Life is all we got. Every
Speaker 1: life matter. I think Jodine knows me well enough to
Speaker 1: know if he was in the building and he was
Speaker 1: burning down, I'd go get him. Dodd Walston, his life
Speaker 1: matters to me. I worry what him every day when
Speaker 1: that motistactly rise. Joe Danna, I love the people. I
Speaker 1: love guys. Y'all we got is each other, stay together,
Speaker 1: stick together, stand for what you believe in, and f
Speaker 1: the rest of it. Terry Robosky, Jars running backs coach.
Speaker 1: That was on Friday at the steps of the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office as part of a few different speakers there,
Speaker 1: but it concluded on the steps with Jaguars wide receiver
Speaker 1: Chris Conley. Powerful speech from Conley. Uh. He stepped to
Speaker 1: the microphone and and explains some of the history behind
Speaker 1: why this movement now might have more momentum than really
Speaker 1: any time in this generation that I remember. He also
Speaker 1: explained more of the meaning behind the movement and what
Speaker 1: to expect. I'm gonna try to keep this um as
Speaker 1: short as I can. There's a wealth of a welling
Speaker 1: up of emotions that has swept over me the past week. Um,
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm just gonna do my best to uh
Speaker 1: keep things short. But I had to write it down
Speaker 1: because as I didn't want to get up here and
Speaker 1: just just have all that emotion overflow. Um. But watching
Speaker 1: watching the events that have happened with a Mad Aubrey,
Speaker 1: and starting with the mod Aubrey the video when it
Speaker 1: got released, I sat in my house upstairs in my office,
Speaker 1: and I just began to cry because I saw someone
Speaker 1: who looked like me, someone who looked like my brother,
Speaker 1: someone who looked like my friends get shot down and
Speaker 1: fall on the street like an animal. And that hurt
Speaker 1: me because I've seen it time and time again. And
Speaker 1: so I forgive me if I'm long winded, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get through this. The events of the last few
Speaker 1: months have culminated and shook the nation for many, opening
Speaker 1: their eyes to something the marginalized have pointed out the
Speaker 1: whole time. What I and others know is that these
Speaker 1: atrocities have been foreshadowed. They have been allowed to manifest
Speaker 1: because of year years of systemic indoctrination and oppression. I
Speaker 1: urge you today brothers and sisters to know this history,
Speaker 1: study it, seek it, because through it, though it may
Speaker 1: make you uncomfortable, it will lead towards change. George Santayana
Speaker 1: said those who cannot remember the past are doomed to
Speaker 1: repeat it and the revend. Dr Martin Luther King said
Speaker 1: that we are not makers of history, were made by it.
Speaker 1: We can not allow comfortability of revisionist history to disarm
Speaker 1: our minds and weaken our convictions. A Confederate monument sits
Speaker 1: a couple of blocks from here, praising the South dark past.
Speaker 1: Our revision is history would tell us that it is
Speaker 1: there to honor men fighting for states rights. But true
Speaker 1: history would tell us that. In the cornerstone, addressed Alexander
Speaker 1: Stephens said that our states are built on the fact
Speaker 1: that the negro is inferior, and slavery and subordination is
Speaker 1: as normal and natural state. That's true history. This monument
Speaker 1: sits a block from where the acts handle Saturday happened
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, a block from it, reminding people in this
Speaker 1: city of what's happened to them. True history would remind
Speaker 1: people that not only Confederate sympathizers butchered black people in
Speaker 1: the streets, but police joined in too. Revisionist history is
Speaker 1: what allows us to believe that systemic racism isn't real,
Speaker 1: or that racism isn't of itself, is only isolated incidents,
Speaker 1: not instilled by government backed segregation, not instilled by a
Speaker 1: history of bias and policing. Revisionist history is what allows
Speaker 1: people to say, yes, these things happened, but that was
Speaker 1: the past. Can't we just move on? Richard Rosston said,
Speaker 1: let bygones be bygones isn't a legitimate wish if we
Speaker 1: wish to call ourselves a constitutional democracy. Protests like this
Speaker 1: one and peaceful protests across the country are fighting for
Speaker 1: our constitution. They're fighting for our democracy. So I plead
Speaker 1: that everyone out there would get out and they would demonstrate,
Speaker 1: they would do it peacefully. And to those people who
Speaker 1: are trying to detract from this movement, who are trying
Speaker 1: to add on and instill hate and riots, we won't
Speaker 1: let you hijack this moment. We won't let you do it.
Speaker 1: Fighting for inequality, Fighting inequality that allows longer sentences on
Speaker 1: average for African American men, Fighting inequality that allows black
Speaker 1: adolescence to be eighteen times more likely to be charged
Speaker 1: as adults. Everybody look around at the kids here. Man,
Speaker 1: a black adolescent is eighteen times more likely to be
Speaker 1: charged and convicted as an adult. That's what we're fighting today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're fighting in equality that would allow this league to
Speaker 1: marginalize and to leave players in two thousand and sixteen,
Speaker 1: when they stood up and said that there was a problem,
Speaker 1: that's what we're here to fight today. That's what you're
Speaker 1: all here for today. Today we say no more. Today
Speaker 1: we see a nation that can't await change, the city
Speaker 1: that won't sit still or be quiet. Today, I'm surrounded
Speaker 1: by brothers and sisters of every color who rallied together
Speaker 1: to echo the cries of George Floyd, to echo the
Speaker 1: cries of Brianna Taylor, to echo the cries of a
Speaker 1: Mod Aubrey and the countless others like them. Today, we're
Speaker 1: encouraged today, we're emboldened. Today, we know that that change
Speaker 1: will come. Today, I'm surrounded by you, and I pray
Speaker 1: for you that you would abound in love and knowledge
Speaker 1: and deep insight. Like Philippians one nine says, this is
Speaker 1: a marathon and not a sprint. Every woman and child
Speaker 1: and man and can sustain this for more than just
Speaker 1: a moment, and make sure that this is a movement
Speaker 1: right now. I challenge all of you to learn this history,
Speaker 1: to learn our country's true history, not so that it
Speaker 1: makes you comfortable, but so that you can be empowered
Speaker 1: to go out and make true change, So that you
Speaker 1: can go out and, as they say, you can beat
Speaker 1: him at the ballot, so that you can weaponize the
Speaker 1: voters in this city to get people who will truly
Speaker 1: represent each and every one of us. Voters can do
Speaker 1: this right now. Movements like this can do this right now.
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you. I want to say
Speaker 1: thank you to my black brothers and sisters who are
Speaker 1: out here. I want to say thank you to my
Speaker 1: white brothers and sisters who are out here. I want
Speaker 1: to say thank you to every single child who is
Speaker 1: out here, younger person who is out here, because you're
Speaker 1: seeing an example of what the future can be. You're
Speaker 1: seeing an example of a future that's fighting for you.
Speaker 1: For you right now, I'm fighting for you. When I
Speaker 1: saw that video, I saw you. I saw you, I
Speaker 1: saw you. Thank you to all of you. This is
Speaker 1: only the beginning. Don't let people rile you up. Don't
Speaker 1: let people tell you that you're not worth it when
Speaker 1: they say black lives matter, the same black lives matter
Speaker 1: because they're hurt right now, we're not saying they matter more.
Speaker 1: And everyone here, I hope everyone here knows that. But
Speaker 1: let's show it. This is only the beginning here in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Let's make sure that we maintain this momentum so it's
Speaker 1: not a movement, and this is a movement. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Chris Conley last Friday and steps through the Jacksonville Sheriff's office. Um,
Speaker 1: the change was coming. We'll come back in a moment.
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Leonard for that. We'll also hear from

Speaker 1: thanks to John O. Shall. We heard some of the
Speaker 1: Friday speeches the steps of the j s oh and
Speaker 1: then the change happened. The night before Leonard Fournette was
Speaker 1: supposed to march from City Hall downtown and then Lenny Curry,
Speaker 1: Jaguar or Jacksonville Mayor I decided to and announced that
Speaker 1: he was going to join for that. They teamed up
Speaker 1: together with the sheriff. Let's hear Leonard for that on
Speaker 1: the steps of city Hall just before the walk on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and hours after the statue was taking down taken down
Speaker 1: and heming plaza good evening, good evening, good evening. Uh
Speaker 1: I appreciate everybody coming out here, man, and what was
Speaker 1: that Black lives do matter? I want you to understand
Speaker 1: that they do matter. I want to like thank my teammates,
Speaker 1: my coaches for coming out and supporting me and supporting us,
Speaker 1: you know. Uh do vas my second home, you know.
Speaker 1: And the biggest thing I want to get out give
Speaker 1: out to y'all and like everyone, it's not about the
Speaker 1: flag at all. I want you to understand that it's
Speaker 1: about us. One of equal rights understanding. I'll place as
Speaker 1: young black men because it's all I'd been black out
Speaker 1: here right now. It is tough, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I want to be that voice for people like George Floyd,
Speaker 1: George Hill, you know, Artin Stirling, guys like that. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is a big step for all of us. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see blacks and whites out here together,
Speaker 1: you know, doing this. This is a This is a
Speaker 1: wonderful thing. And the biggest thing I didn't grow up,
Speaker 1: you know, being racist or my parents teaching me racism.
Speaker 1: For number one, we gotta stop that. That's just bad man.
Speaker 1: You got to it's bad man. And uh, And the
Speaker 1: biggest thing, man, I just like to thank my support
Speaker 1: for my teammates, for no one. Uh, for Marcus you
Speaker 1: know he's coming out here for for helping me, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I appreciate you all. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you. And also the fans, thank you all for
Speaker 1: coming out. I appreciate you all and understanding. Uh, I
Speaker 1: have kids. I want you to put that out there too.
Speaker 1: My fear right now is my kids getting older, you know,
Speaker 1: getting stopped and I'm I'm keeping the real and them
Speaker 1: getting shot or anything, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing right now. So as y'all seen
Speaker 1: we came the gather, the statue is gone. It's another
Speaker 1: big thing. It's another big thing. And Uh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell y'all, man, no matter what, man, I love all y'all. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is bigger than me. This is bigger than football.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna continue to continue praying, coming together. Do
Speaker 1: we have to do to to to have a better generation?
Speaker 1: Five kids? The next generation? And uh, black lives matter.
Speaker 1: Let's keep fighting, y'all. That's Leonard for that. Tuesday, on
Speaker 1: the steps of City Hall in downtown Jacksonville, Mayor Lynn
Speaker 1: Curry spoke next, then the sheriff then a little do
Speaker 1: all of them may have the long march around downtown Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Here from the mayor coming up. Let's go on the
Speaker 1: phone line now. Jaguars analyst Jeff Flagerman joins this. Jeff,
Speaker 1: good afternoon. But what's up? How you doing? But doing well?
Speaker 1: And you know, I find it fascinating interesting all the
Speaker 1: words you can use similar to that that Leonard for
Speaker 1: that running back, first round pick, big name in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Because of his prowess on the field and his role
Speaker 1: with the organization, he can bring Mayor Lenny Curry and
Speaker 1: sheriff Mike Williams and Will Duval, you know, bring those
Speaker 1: different types of people together in a moment like this.
Speaker 1: That's using that celebrity that he has in a positive way.
Speaker 1: And I thought that was a big part of what
Speaker 1: happened on Tuesday. So it's pretty strong, you know. And
Speaker 1: and I think, uh, most importantly, a lot of athletes
Speaker 1: have probably underwhelmed and using their platform in the past.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about athletes as a whole, and I
Speaker 1: think they're really starting to understand the power that they
Speaker 1: wield and certainly can institute a lot of change themselves.
Speaker 1: And so I think also that going forward, you know,
Speaker 1: this can't be on like a one time thing where
Speaker 1: you just Okay, let's commit to this right now. I
Speaker 1: mean it's got to be This has to be a continuation,
Speaker 1: you know, something that doesn't just okay, we we talk
Speaker 1: about them now, then in a month, it's just it's
Speaker 1: over with and we forget about it. I think this
Speaker 1: is something that has to continue. The work continues to
Speaker 1: have to be done, and and hopefully a lot of
Speaker 1: the athletes in the in the leadership in our country,
Speaker 1: the leadership and cities and the communities continue to work
Speaker 1: towards making sure that everybody has a voice that's heard.
Speaker 1: And it feels like that's the focus of Jaguars owner
Speaker 1: Shot con as he wrote in his op ed piece
Speaker 1: earlier last week and then followed up to I think
Speaker 1: yesterday and visited with the Jaguars team about a hundred
Speaker 1: people in the organization, players, coaches and staff around the team,
Speaker 1: mainly and getting ideas, listening and following up and what
Speaker 1: he said, I think that's his focus, just as you said,
Speaker 1: not to make this a one time thing, to see
Speaker 1: how they can carry this momentum forward well. And I
Speaker 1: think when you have conversations. I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: things can be accomplished, and I think the league offense,
Speaker 1: I think, is a perfect example of that. I first thought,
Speaker 1: I thought that it was outstanding that Roger Goodell came
Speaker 1: out and made the statement that he did, and and
Speaker 1: that didn't happen until they decided to have essentially an
Speaker 1: open form with some of the employees at the League office,
Speaker 1: and a lot of the employees were and me personally,
Speaker 1: when I saw the statement that was released by by
Speaker 1: the league and the commissioner, I thought it was weak.
Speaker 1: And I think everybody in the League office thought it
Speaker 1: was weak. And when they were able to get in
Speaker 1: the forum to voice the concerns to Roger Goodell that
Speaker 1: they also thought it was weak, which led to the
Speaker 1: video that was released with the players on it, and
Speaker 1: the kind of the road employee that did this video
Speaker 1: on his own. Eventually he let some of his superiors
Speaker 1: know about it. I mean, I mean that was good stuff, man,
Speaker 1: and uh And so I was glad to see the
Speaker 1: commissioner come out and and say things and shotcome obviously
Speaker 1: having an open forum with employees and players and such
Speaker 1: like that, you know, it gets a great opportunity you
Speaker 1: know that to institute change, and not just change, but
Speaker 1: effective change that people want, and you can't and you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't do something that has changed just for the
Speaker 1: sake of change either, you know. I mean, you've got
Speaker 1: to do something that's got meaning, that's gonna last. And
Speaker 1: at the same token, you have to you have to
Speaker 1: be very considerate of all parties involved. Jeff Logan with
Speaker 1: US Jaguars analyst Jaguars Happy Hour. The off season program
Speaker 1: is nearly complete logs. They've announced that they're going to
Speaker 1: expand it a couple of weeks, but some teams can
Speaker 1: shut it down as they're is tomorrow if they'd like to.
Speaker 1: And now there's other reports. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw these earlier the week that the league and the
Speaker 1: players Association are discussing trimming the preseason. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: playing two preseason games instead of four or whatever you
Speaker 1: played back in the old days, six of them? Well, uh,
Speaker 1: here's a crazy thing. It's gonna take a global pandemic
Speaker 1: for the league to finally do the right thing when
Speaker 1: it comes to preseason. Are you're right? I mean, we
Speaker 1: we've all been saying for years that having four preseason
Speaker 1: games is an absolute waste of time, and so this
Speaker 1: global pandemic may may cut it, you know, will it
Speaker 1: cut it by two to where it should be, which
Speaker 1: is what I think a team needs to get ready
Speaker 1: to play a season. I think it also gives enough
Speaker 1: opportunity to evaluate players, especially if you're going and practicing
Speaker 1: with other teams throughout the season and not necessarily getting
Speaker 1: quote unquote game speed rets. I think there's plenty of
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a lot of the decision and coaches
Speaker 1: will tell you because it conan coaches or coaches, I
Speaker 1: mean they want to work, you know, they want to
Speaker 1: They're they're wired to do things a certain way, and
Speaker 1: when they're forced to do something, that's amazing how it
Speaker 1: still works, you know what I mean. I mean you
Speaker 1: still are able to accomplish things. And so when you
Speaker 1: say that that we're finally are looking at possibly cutting preseason,
Speaker 1: you know, JP, I may end up buying you a
Speaker 1: beer that that's the case, because I would be one
Speaker 1: happy camper if that that truly happens. And also to
Speaker 1: say that the all season stuff is ending, um did
Speaker 1: it ever get started? I mean, is virtual still considered
Speaker 1: all season training is it's still considered um productive. I
Speaker 1: mean when you're not on the grass and you're talking
Speaker 1: to somebody on Zoom or in teams or Facebook, Instagram, FaceTime, whatever,
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever all these avenues are. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just not the same, I will say. I mean we'll
Speaker 1: find that out. I think once the games get here,
Speaker 1: if if there's any impact, and you know, especially with
Speaker 1: a team like this that needs to be on the
Speaker 1: field working through some new things, certainly on defense, a
Speaker 1: new offense coordinator coming in and all that, I think
Speaker 1: we'll find out then. But I will say, the money
Speaker 1: is still real. They're all still getting paid, um, you know,
Speaker 1: being involved in the what what's what's the what's the
Speaker 1: stadium gonna look like? You know, our our teams, our
Speaker 1: teams exercising right now, and my guests would be yes,
Speaker 1: that they are probably looking at ways to to have
Speaker 1: socially distant attendance. You know, are are they already doing that,
Speaker 1: you know, to where they're trying to configure stadium seating
Speaker 1: to where if you know, they've got to comply with
Speaker 1: certain standards, whether it be from from the state level.
Speaker 1: I don't expect it to be instituted down from the
Speaker 1: federal level, but city levels or state levels or what
Speaker 1: have you. You know, could teams. I mean, teams have
Speaker 1: to be ready for for different things when it comes
Speaker 1: to seating people in a stadium. So and I'm sure
Speaker 1: that every team in the league right now is talking
Speaker 1: to local and state authorities and tign to configure what
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to do from a seating capacity and
Speaker 1: and everything else. And I think teams also got to
Speaker 1: have the conversation JP. I mean, look, when when the
Speaker 1: Jaguars fly, they charter an airplane. Okay, you're chartering an
Speaker 1: airplane and you're typically traveling with a lot of people.
Speaker 1: You've got players, coaches, training staff, doctors, um, public relations staff,
Speaker 1: you've got people that work for broadcast asking departments. I mean,
Speaker 1: so are you going to look at trimming some of that,
Speaker 1: you know, to where you're exposing less number of people
Speaker 1: to be around your football team on the road. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think all of these things have to be talked
Speaker 1: about by a football team in the league as a
Speaker 1: whole in preparation. And those those conversations I'm sure already
Speaker 1: started and and they'll be ongoing throughout the summer, and
Speaker 1: they could change as the summer goes on. I mean
Speaker 1: it could be trimming to two, it could be trimming
Speaker 1: to none in the preseason. That's not too far fetched
Speaker 1: either the way things so, but you just don't know.
Speaker 1: You don't know how the summer is gonna go. No,
Speaker 1: you don't know. And is you know, not not having
Speaker 1: an all season it's it's certainly not good for football.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think football is better when it's like
Speaker 1: anything else. I mean, football is better when people can
Speaker 1: practice football. You know, you've got better, higher quality, and
Speaker 1: so not having some of the all season stuff, I
Speaker 1: think we're still good were I don't think it would
Speaker 1: be a noticeable difference, but I think for the trained,
Speaker 1: I think it will be very different. The level of play,
Speaker 1: certainly with with certain players and young players and their
Speaker 1: lack of opportunities to get reps in training for towards
Speaker 1: the football season, young quarterbacks, you know, young teams as
Speaker 1: a whole. And and that's the Jaguars that we're talking about.
Speaker 1: So I think there's certainly some challenges, and the Jaguars
Speaker 1: are are right there when you start to talk about
Speaker 1: challenges with no all season training, the Jaguars are I
Speaker 1: mean literally could be the poster child for that. When
Speaker 1: you talk about teams that have big challenges in well, Logs,
Speaker 1: I will say you can. I'll take you up on
Speaker 1: that beer you want to buy me early if you'd
Speaker 1: like to wait, you know, let's just say it happened.
Speaker 1: So given them the years to go. Hand of the
Speaker 1: bars are open, which is a good step. They are.

Speaker 1: just came out just a moment ago. Judy Bautista, who
Speaker 1: has been on this program before in the recent months,
Speaker 1: has the article there checked that one out. According the
Speaker 1: Interest to Public Safety, the Panthers removed the statue of
Speaker 1: former owner Jerry Richardson from in front of Bank America
Speaker 1: Stadium yesterday. He was the founding owner of the Panthers.
Speaker 1: The statue was given to him in his eightieth birthday
Speaker 1: back in I remember, he was fined over two million
Speaker 1: dollars by Roger Goodell after an investigation found evidence that
Speaker 1: substantiated claims of workplace misconduct. After allegations of racial and
Speaker 1: sexual misconduct, he sold the team in May of eighteen,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't long after all the those accusations were
Speaker 1: brought to light. So that's the biggest news around the
