Speaker 1: Week number two well underway now. Wide receiver Christian Kirk

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: will join us in studio. Oh and about fifteen minutes

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: or so, we'll get his thoughts on arriving in Jacksonville,

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: settling into the Jaguars offense, the o t as, working

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: with a quarterback, all the above, his past in Arizona.

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: He's actually from the Phoenix area and then played for

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals of course the first four or five years

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: of his career before coming over here in free agency.

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Will will visit with him coming up. Senior writer John

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Osier will join us as well. That's at the bottom

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: of the hour and he'll finish the show with us today.

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Jeff Loghman is out, but he'll be back at some

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: point next week and we'll hear from Bloggs again in

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: the final week of organized team activities will go around

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: the National Football League as well well. Earlier this week,

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: the organized team activities got back underway on Tuesday after

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: the Memorial Day holiday. Three practices last week, and then

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: the team was off Friday through Monday, the holiday actual

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: holiday on Monday, and then back to work Tuesday. Three

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: practices on the schedule for this week, and by league rule,

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: they can't have more than two in a row this week.

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Next week there will be four on the schedule at least,

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: and historically teams on that tenth and final O tier

30
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: it's scheduled for Friday of next week. A lot of

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: times do a team building activity or even you know,

32
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: sometimes give the team off. We'll see what Doug Peterson

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: as in mind on the tenth and final O t

34
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: A of next week. But I will get a chance

35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: as media to be out there one day per week.

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: We're out on the O t A number one last

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: week and then out there on Tuesday this week. They

38
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: started practice on the game field and then a little

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: pop up shower came along. The rain was fine enough,

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: and then a rumble of thunder and and bang, there

41
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: you go. The lightning moved the practice indoors into the

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: Dream Finders Homes Flex field for the remainder of the workout,

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: and you know, of course, all eyes are on the

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence and this offense and how things feel.

45
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: And maybe you get a better sense after a week

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: of practices, at least from a head coach Doug Peterson

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: three practices in going in to that fourth practice, he

48
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: spoke before Tuesday's practice about maybe an overview of the

49
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: team what he feels after one week of organized team activities.

50
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: It was a good week, you know for us. Um again,

51
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: it was the first time since that first mini camp

52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: several weeks ago to be you know out there and

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: the way the way I've got to set up, you know, Um,

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: we're working some first and second down, some third down,

55
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: some red zone stuff and throughout the courts of the week.

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: So we're throwing a lot at the guys. And right now,

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: the guys have really handled the information. They've taken it

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: from the classroom to the practice field and and that's

59
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: really what we want to see right now. You can't

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: see physicality and all that kind of stuff and tackling

61
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: and all that yet, but um, you know, the guys

62
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: are they're moving in the right way. They're they're practicing fast,

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: they're they're protecting each other, and that's what we want

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: to see, and that's what I want to see this

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: time year. You gotta love that attitude from Doug Peterson.

66
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: He just understands the pace of the off season. And

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: we've talked about this and shows before the last few weeks. Um,

68
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna win the super Bowl today, but you

69
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: can win the super Bowl by being ready to go

70
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: for the regular season with your team healthy and motivated

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: and locked in and ready. And that's what they're going

72
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: for right now. The pace of just bringing in the

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: class from the classroom to the practice field. Don't get

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: anybody hurt right now. You know, we know exactly what

75
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna go over today in this time of year,

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: and we can handle the rest, come training camp and

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: into the regular season to get ready for the opponent

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: week to week. So I'm not gonna reinvent the wheel

79
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: and do this a different way. He's done it before,

80
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: he's built it before, he's been in the league, as

81
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: we've said all over this offseason, since he knows the

82
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: schedule of how things are supposed to feel, and look

83
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: around here, now. Part of the situation here is taking

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: over what happened last year with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course,

85
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: for Doug Peterson, taking over the remnants of the Urban

86
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: Meyer regime and an organization that was shattered in a

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: lot of different ways in that locker room after everything

88
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: that happened a year ago. And there's a fine line

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: though on as he said earlier this offseason, regaining the

90
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: trust of the football team and the people on the

91
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: football side after every thing that happened a year ago. Well,

92
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: there's a fine line between that but still getting work

93
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: done and pushing the team forward and striving for a

94
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: few things. Yes, there might be limits to that in

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: the off season program, but there's still some checklist of

96
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: things they need to get done, and they have to

97
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: push towards certain things and certain milestones in the off season.

98
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: And Doug Peterson earlier this week understands that fine line

99
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: between regaining the trust and still pushing the players the

100
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: right way. As as I gained their trust, I can

101
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: push a little bit harder, um, And there is a

102
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: fine line there, and there is a balance there, and

103
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: that just comes from just understanding and really reaching out

104
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: to the players and and kind of you know, seeing

105
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: how they react to certain things. Um, you know, I

106
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: want to push them in practice. I want to challenge

107
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: them in practice, but at the same time, I don't

108
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to really overstep my bounds

109
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: a little bit right now, you know with them, and

110
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: and uh, at the same time, when I do that,

111
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: I want to see the turn you know, back, you know,

112
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: towards towards what we're doing. And and That's what I've seen.

113
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: And so the more the more that we continue to

114
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: have that that that two way you know, communication and dialogue,

115
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: I can continue to push a little bit harder. Obviously,

116
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, in the off season, we you know, we

117
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: go a little bit easier. But I think it happens

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: more in training camp when the pads come on and

119
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: and it gets a little warmer outside and and we

120
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: can we can really challenge them a little bit more. Yeah, So,

121
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, step by step, understand that relationship has to

122
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: grow at some point. And once that relationship grows in,

123
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: you can push the team a little bit further. He's

124
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: been through it before as a player. He gets that

125
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: whole push and pull that goes on between coaches and

126
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: players and in the way. This thing has really started.

127
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Up here. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on Tintin XL A

128
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: M and Jaguars dot Com. J P. Shadrick with you,

129
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Jeff log him and out this week coming up Christian

130
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Jaguars wide receiver, and then John Osan coming up

131
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. Let's hear more from

132
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson. Last week, Trevor Lawrence spoke and

133
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about the pace of the defense

134
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: after the first O t A practice. There were a

135
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: few plays in the eleven on eleven that we saw

136
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: in that open practice and in O t A number

137
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: one where defensive linemen are getting free and rushing the

138
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: quarterback and he's having a hustle a couple throws out

139
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: of there. Well, this week Peterson asked about the pace

140
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: of defense. Is there really a limit to it? Yes,

141
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: we know there's no contact officially, but is there a

142
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: rule on the or a Jaguars rule of sorts against

143
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: um maybe going a little too hard in practice. And

144
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: here's what Peterson said. Listen, it's full speed, you know,

145
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: full speed drills and again, because you're not in pads,

146
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: it's really hard for the offensive defensive lines to really

147
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, kind of control the pace of place sometimes

148
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: and and you know it's just it's hard, it's really hard.

149
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, um, it's sort

150
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: of it's sort of the fun of it, you know,

151
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: the competition of it, and and really to see the

152
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: competitive juices flowing a little bit out there on the

153
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: practice field and you know, um, you know, obviously the

154
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: quarterback feels it when when the pocket you know, is

155
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: collapsed a little bit. But again, because we're not in pads,

156
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: it's really hard to to anchor and you know, grab

157
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: a hold of something you know, I guess like a

158
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: shoulder pad to to stop a rushing line. Yeah, so

159
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: it's tough to evaluate. Especially in the trenches this time

160
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: of year, you'll get a little bit of work and

161
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: they actually have flipped at least in the practice we

162
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: saw this week on Tuesday, some of the positions on

163
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line from drill to drill. There was a

164
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: walker little working at left tackle and then over at

165
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: right tackle and the Jowan Taylor was getting some left

166
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: tackle reps also. Just at least put him out there

167
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: in a scenario or two and just see what you

168
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: have Cama. Robinson was not available on two day and

169
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: there was a report that he is back in the

170
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: building or was back on the building on Wednesday and

171
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: maybe the rest of the weeks. That's good news moving ahead,

172
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: and maybe next week we'll see a little Cam Robinson

173
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: in the building after he signed that big contract a

174
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: little earlier this offseason. Another position group of note for

175
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and it's been something this organization has been

176
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: trying to deal with really since Marcedes Lewis left, and

177
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: that's the tight end position, and they've thrown money at

178
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of different guys over the years. Of course,

179
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: we know that Julius Thomas that didn't work out, Austin

180
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Seferi and Jenkins nope, Tyler Eiffort at a moment but

181
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: not really. Um. Meanwhile, Morcedes Lewis, by the way, is

182
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: still playing for the Green Bay Packers, and uh, you

183
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: know it's going to take him a few years, but

184
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: if he hung around a couple three more years, he'll

185
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: be close to the most all time games played by

186
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: a tight end in league history. It's Jason Witten at

187
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: two seventy one, Mercedes at two thirty four. He's a Packer.

188
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: He's not a jag R, but he was a long

189
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: time Jaguar. They've been trying to figure it out since then,

190
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: but now they've made some changes to that. Of course

191
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: this year, Evan Ingram comes in this year and we'll

192
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: hear from John Oser coming up. I think he caught

193
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: up with Evan Ingram earlier this week, who came in

194
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: in free agency and was a former first round pick.

195
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: And we'll see what he can do in this offense.

196
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: And you know the feeling just talking to guys like

197
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks and some and Jeff Lockman who's seen him

198
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: in practice. It's at least a time or two. The

199
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: early field is that it's not just a true online

200
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: tight end. I mean he's gonna be out there wide

201
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: and making plays on the outside. That's the idea behind it.

202
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold's the same way he had moments of that

203
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: last season and is healthy now and he's out on

204
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: the practice field and that Luke Farrell was a draft

205
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: pick last year. Chris man Hurts is the lead blocking

206
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: option there. That was the idea going into last season

207
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: and actually caught the first ever touchdown pass from Trevor

208
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: Lawrence last season. Trivia answer a little later down the

209
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: line in his career. But there's some other tight ends

210
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: on the roster right now that our project idea type players.

211
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: A guy like nas Bohannon who came in and the

212
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: rookie minicamp as a tryout player, and well he's he

213
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: played basketball at Clemson to wrap up his career and

214
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: has not played football, but at least early looks the part,

215
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: moves the right way, can make some plays in this

216
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: o t a period. That's a project moving ahead. Other

217
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: guys on the roster, great Grayson Gunner a rookie, and

218
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: Garrett Prince also a rookie. So a deeper room right now.

219
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: And Doug Peterson asked about the tight ends earlier this week.

220
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: A lot of bodies in there, um, which is exciting.

221
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's uh, I think it's a

222
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: strong part of our team right now. Um, it's a

223
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a really good group, veteran group, you know, leadership

224
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: in there with with Dan and Chris and and even

225
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: with Evan now you know, adding there and really like

226
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: we're whoke is and how he's progressed this offseason and

227
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: and then the young guys are still learning, you know,

228
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: they've only been with us a couple of weeks now,

229
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: but um, I'm I'm encouraged by that group, you know,

230
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: and and really looking forward again too. I think training

231
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: camp when when the Pats come on and watching them

232
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: and their their physicality and blocking and and um, you

233
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: know how how well they perform, and think about the

234
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: tight ends and what the importance of that position was

235
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: for the Eagles back in their championship run in and

236
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: you'll get an idea of what that means for Doug

237
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Peterson and Press Taylor in this offensive group going into

238
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: the campaign. At least, that's the hope that tied end.

239
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: You mix those guys in with wide receivers like Christian

240
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: kirk wool here from coming up and a veteran receiver

241
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: like Marvin Jones who has a long streak of games

242
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: with a reception, and you know, younger guys on this

243
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: roster they feel like can be an impact group in

244
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: this passing game than an improved quarterback on top of

245
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: all that, that could be a nice combination for this

246
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense. That's the idea, at least moving into this season.

247
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: We've got putting ahead on the show a little later

248
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,480

Speaker 1: Are here? Week two? What's up? It's great? You know,

281
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: like you said, it's week two. O. T A S.

282
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: And I was just talking about it a little bit

283
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: early or it's it's hard not to to get into

284
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: that that groove and and feel like, oh I gotta

285
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: be ready, you know, and and be ready to play

286
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: like we have a game on Sunday, and just the

287
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: competitive juices are flowing and we're going against the defense,

288
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: and just the important thing right now is just working

289
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: through all the kinks. These are the times to make

290
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: mistakes and uh, now that we're learning a new system

291
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: and whatnot, you know, we're just trying to learn all

292
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: the nuances and you know, get ready for training camp.

293
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm curious about that process of learning a new offense.

294
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: We talked about the quarterbacks part of it all the time.

295
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: He's got so many things to worry about. Line play,

296
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: you guys on the outside, running back, the running everything.

297
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: But from a wide receiver's perspective, how friendly is this

298
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: offense for a guy like you? And how difficult is

299
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: it to to learn all the nuances of it? Yeah,

300
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: it's very you know friendly for a receiver and you know,

301
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: all of us as weapons because it allows us to

302
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: be all interchangeable, and you know, it challenges you to

303
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: know every position on the field and the more you know,

304
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: the more opportunities you get to be in different ots

305
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: to go out and make plays. And uh, Coach Peterson

306
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: and you know Press have done a great job of

307
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, making this offense, Uh, you know, fairly easy

308
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: to learn, and the transition has been you know, very

309
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: fairly simple. And you know, we get a lot of

310
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: time during O t A s you know, in the

311
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: classroom man on the field, So uh, they don't just

312
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: throw it all at you and tell you to learn it. Uh.

313
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: They do a good job facilitating, you know, being able

314
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: to to get through and get some reps and and

315
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: just learning all the things that they want to accomplish.

316
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: When you hear Trevor Lawrence talking through the offense and

317
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: those different things you guys install over time, I'm guessing

318
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: it comes out pretty clear from him that he knows

319
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: what's up on this offense. Yeah, and you know he

320
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: does a great job and meetings, um, you know kind

321
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: of adding you know what he's thinking on a certain

322
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: play or you know what he's expecting in certain expectations,

323
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, for us, and it keeps that open line

324
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: of you know, communication and everything's transparent. So uh, you

325
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: know he's done a great job in that aspect. Christian

326
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: Kirk is with US Jaguars wide Receiver here on Jaguar's

327
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: Happy Hour. You know there's a lot of new faces

328
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: around here. You're one of them. Here's a Jones coming in,

329
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: got a couple of Vets in that room, and Marvin

330
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: Jones has been in the league forever. It feels like, um,

331
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: how difficult is it or is it at all to

332
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: to get that camaraderie? Is that overplayed? Is that overhyped

333
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: sometimes that oh they gotta get time together and figure

334
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: out the room or is that a real thing for

335
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I would say it's like the first week. Uh,

336
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's like going to a new school,

337

Speaker 1: all your classmates and you know who's who, and you

339
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: know the different personalities. But you know, like I said,

340
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: after that first week, I mean you settle in and

341
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: you know, we're all guys out there playing football and

342
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: having fun and um, you know, just our room in general,

343
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, we have so many good guys like you

344
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: mentioned Za, you have Marv. You know who's the vet

345
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: and you know it's played a lot of ball and

346
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: it's always good to have a guy like that in

347
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: the room and you know, still compete at a high level.

348
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: And then you have Laviska and La Kwan, you know,

349
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: and some younger guys that you know, it's it's a

350
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: good dynamic that we have and you know, we have

351
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot of fun with it. And you know, Coach

352
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: Jackson has done a great job just pushing us every day.

353
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: What does coach Jackson do, especially you know, the first

354
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: time with him, So what what stands about out about him? Honestly,

355
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to meeting yet, So what

356
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: stands out about his his coaching? Yeah, I mean he

357
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: brings energy every single day. And I think the big

358
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: thing for us is, you know, we have so much

359
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: talent in our room. We have to hold ourselves to

360
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: a high standard and there's a lot of expectation from

361
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: us and we know that and and that's our job

362
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: to deliver. And so anytime anything is not up to

363
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: our standard, uh, they're gonna, you know, be held accountable

364
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: and uh, you know we like that, and uh, you know,

365
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: we just want to go out and be the best

366
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: group on the field every single Sunday and that's what

367
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: we're working towards. Now. Christian Kirk is with us. It

368
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: seems like, you know, we're just kind of meeting for

369
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: the first time. But you've settled in a little bit here,

370
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: right you've you're you're in the in the element now.

371
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: But how much of a whirlwind was this offseason leading

372
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: into free agency and everything that happened and all of

373
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: a sudden you're at a press cott, for instance, this

374
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: contract coming in. Uh, it seems like that was just boy,

375
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: let me get through this and get back to football.

376
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: How wild was this offseason? It was nuts? You know,

377
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: looking back at it, Um, there's so many unknowns and

378
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: you have expectations and then your expectations are flipped upside

379
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: down and you because everybody's process is different. You know,

380
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: the guys that have been through a free agency and

381
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: you know, I had to talk to a couple of

382
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: guys that have been through it, and uh, they're like,

383
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: it always ends up the opposite of what you think.

384
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: And you know that's what it was for me. You know,

385
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: I I had known that about Jacksonville. Obviously we had

386
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: came here and played last year. But uh, obviously had

387
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: no clue where I was gonna end up. And you know,

388
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: after you know, got the call and then the next

389
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: thing I know, I'm on a fly. I land here

390
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: at two am. I'm up at five am for over

391
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: here in the suit my suits you know, halfway wrinkled,

392
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to pull it all together. You know,

393
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit of a whirlwind. But I

394
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: couldn't be happier, you know, being here, Christian k it

395
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: was with us a Shiaguars happy hour on tinton x

396
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: l a M and Jaguars dot Com. And all right,

397
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: let's go back a little bit now. I mean, you

398
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: grew up in Arizona, right Scott's just Saguaro High School.

399
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: Did a little research here, David Spade went to school there,

400
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: the comedian, A handful of NFL guys. Who else in

401
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: the end, I mean, you guys had some really good

402
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: football teams with Saguaro. So who other guys are anybody

403
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: else in the league right now? Yeah? Um, you know,

404
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: we we have Byron Murphy who was a teammate of

405
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: mine in Arizona as well. Me and Byron played a

406
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: year together at Sorrow, and then Dj Foster as well.

407
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: Dj was a senior when I was a freshman. Um,

408
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: but we've had you know, Mike Brown, and you know

409
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: a couple of other guys you know go to the NFL.

410
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: But um, you know, coach Mons has been coaching me

411
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 1: since I was about I would say seven or eight

412
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: years old, and he's the head coach over there now

413
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: and they just won the Open division, you know, state championship.

414
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: That that means you get the crown in Arizona. And

415
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more proud than than them. But um,

416
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, that was definitely some of the highlight of

417
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: years of my career. You guys want a lot of

418
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: state titles, right, don't call me sir, my bad, my bad.

419
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: We won, We won three. We went three while I

420
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: was there. Yeah, only three, only three? You missed one. Yeah,

421
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: that's okay. It was sophomore. We're in a little bit

422
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: of a rebuild. Were young. I'm curious to you go

423
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: from Arizona to you go on the recruiting trail. I'm

424
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: sure at some point and all of a sudden end

425
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: up at A and M. That was coach someone's time

426
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: there were you like being courted. That was probably when

427
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: Manzielle was still quarterbacking at A and M. Right, was

428
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: that that time period Johnny had left I want to

429
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: say two years, so two years I was on the

430
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: trail before you came. So, so Kenny Hill was a

431
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: quarterback the year before I got there. So, um My,

432
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: one of my best friends from Arizona, Kyle Island, who

433
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: now plays for the Houston Texans. He was quarterback at

434
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: Texas A and M and Kyler Murray. Me and Kyler

435
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: Murray were in the same class. Uh so I had

436
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot of ties there and I wanted to play

437
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: in the SEC, had always wanted to. And uh, coach

438
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: someone had brought that spread offense and that dynamic offense

439
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: to the SEC and had the opportunity to play early

440
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: as a freshman. So it was a no brainer for me.

441
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: Freshman of the Year in the SEC back in that

442
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: mentioned Kyler Murray right then all of a sudden you

443
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: get to play with him in Arizona. That kind of

444
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: a quarterback, that kind of a dynamic player who all

445
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden Kentucket and run for fifty yards. How

446
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: challenging is that? How rewarding is that for an offense too?

447
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: Can go both ways when you have a guy like

448
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's status. Yeah, you know he was. He was

449
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: always dynamic and it was just another um facet of

450
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: our offense that you know, you had to deal with.

451
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: And uh that's what makes them special. He does things

452
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: like that makes plays with his legs and with his

453
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: arm as well, and all a sudden, you're running down field.

454
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're running by me. What's happening right right? Yeah, No,

455
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: there's there's there's plenty of times where that happened. Christian

00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: us the off season, You've had all this time in

462
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: the offense, as you said, step by step getting this

463
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: thing going. Well, what's the field? Can can this be

464
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: a unit that turns it in one year? It's possible

465
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: with the NFL to do that. But do you have

466
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: some of those pieces that foundation in place? You feel

467
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: like right now, I definitely think we have the pieces

468
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: and we're we're still laying the foundation. Um. I think

469
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: some of those questions will be answered a little bit

470
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: more and when we get into training camp. We want

471
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: answers now. We don't want to wait to training. Hey,

472
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: I want all the answers now too. I I want

473
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: to know how many games we're gonna win and you

474
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: know go to the playoffs as well. But uh, like

475
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: I said, this is what this process is. But um,

476
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: I have been you know, fairly impressed with how we've

477
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: been able to progress every single day, you know, offensively

478
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: and defensively. And um, like I said, just the energy

479
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: in the culture around this this building, and you could

480
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: tell there's just there's a sense of excitement and you

481
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: know I have it as well, and you know we're

482
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna we're shooting, you know, for the for the for

483
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: the sky's the limit. Starts with Doug, right, Doug Peterson

484
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: and the way he kind of walks around every day

485
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: and he's been there and done that as a player.

486
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: As a coach, he's want to ring. He doesn't flash

487
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: it in your face and everybody just goes to work.

488
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, that's this game is confidence and uh,

489
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, having that mentality that uh you know, when

490
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: you step on the field, you know you're you're the

491
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: best team that day, and uh you know, especially individually too.

492
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: So he definitely brings that swager in that confidence and

493
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: it rubs off on all of us. All right, final

494
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: thought here with the off season coming up. What are

495
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: some of your plans. Do you're gonna get away, do

496
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: you get to work? You're gonna do some work with

497
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback? How does that work in your off season

498
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: coming up? Yeah, I'm definitely gonna spend some time with

499
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: Trevor and Um, you know, making sure we're we're still

500
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, keeping connected, you know, going into training camp,

501
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna head back to Arizona and pack up

502
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: the rest of my stuff and bring it on out

503
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: here to Jacksonville and get ready for an incredible season.

504
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: You got all the stuff out there, but the golf

505
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: clubs made it here apparently right, both says the golf

506
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: clubs made it up. Yeah, yeah, both says made it

507
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: out here. I don't travel without my golf clubs. That's

508
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: a good, good way to live. So, who's the best

509
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: golfer on the team? At least you've played with so far? Oh,

510
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: final Tuck. I mean, I haven't played with a ton

511
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: of guys. I'm sure the specialists are always good, so

512
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: sure of you know, Logan is probably really good or

513
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, I I have Honestly, it's it's usually me

514
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: and Trevor that play Um and I heard CJ is

515
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: pretty good as well. You know, some of the QBS

516
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks a lot of times are pretty good too. Yeah,

517
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: so how's the starting quarterback. He's getting there, he's getting there,

518
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: but he's not there. I mean, are any of us there?

519
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: We're never always Yeah. I mean, if you're an amateur golfer,

520
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: are you are you even there? So where are you going?

521
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: It was the question that that is I think we

522
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: all I want to act like we can make it

523
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: on tour at some point, but that's never gonna happen.

524
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: So I don't think we're ever gonna You're already talking

525
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: yourself out of it. I mean, you're already beating hopeful.

526
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully I play football long enough to where that that's

527
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: not even a venture for me. Excellent point. Hey, Christian,

528
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: thanks for the time. Man. It's great to see you,

529
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: and I'm actually to have you as part of the Jaguars.

530
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: We're back at the moment, we're just getting started. It's

531
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. What you

532
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: want to see from elite quarterbacks. One, when they're throwing,

533
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: the ball doesn't hit the ground. The ball doesn't hit

534
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: the ground because there's a level of execution and consistency

535
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: between thrower and catcher. Easy the ball doesn't hit the ground.

536
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: It looks like they're in rhythm and is scenk and

537
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: I saw that today. I saw what I would deem

538
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: to be a high level set of execution up practices

539
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: and what they're being asked to do from Trevor. I

540
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: wanted to see the ball in the strike zone consistently.

541
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: When we talk about the strike zone, the strike zone

542
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: is Torso ball ways to hire inside the window. The

543
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: receivers are not having to work a lot to make catches,

544
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: and we're seeing that Revor Launce is very accurate. We're

545
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: seeing the ball come out with plenty of pace and

546
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: those things. And then the final part of it is

547
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: when you transition from doing individual to group stuff to

548
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: then compete against the team. Does Trevor know where to

549
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: go with the ball and doesn't know how to do

550
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: it in a timely fashion? I think he saw that

551
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: even when they rented up in seven or seven and

552
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 1: nine or seven things against the defense, he looked like

553
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: he had a pretty clear idea where to go. That

554
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: is Bucky Brooks from the Huddle Up podcast earlier this week.

555
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,159

566
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: and then after the end of this week there'll be

00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: six O T s down, four officially left to go

568
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: next week. Who knows about the tenth win. A lot

569
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: of times that's a either a canceled or a team

570
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: building or a one of those days. But hey, that

571
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: that comment there from Bucky about just the cleanliness of

572
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: the offense, right, that's that's kind of what you're looking

573
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: for your You don't want the ball over the ground,

574
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: all over the place. And I think you and I

575
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: were kind of talking on the practice field the other

576
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: day on Tuesday about this. It's really about sixteen. That's

577
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: really what this thing boils down to. It's about him

578
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: and how he's performing and feeling and the rest is great.

579
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: But you don't have to get a trigger in the football. Yeah,

580
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, oversimplify it what you want right now.

581
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: With Trevor, they've chosen. I mean, he's a guy number

582
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: one overall. You choose he's the guy, and you better

583
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: build everything around him to succeed. And then you want

584
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: to get to a point where your roster is you know,

585
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: similar better worst been in the same range as other rosters,

586
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: and then that guy elevates you. Maybe that's not fair

587
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: to every game, but over the course of time, if

588
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: you're equal and you've got that guy behind center, then

589
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, games should start going your way

590
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: and you get to nine wins, ten wins, eleven wins. Um.

591
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: You know. So, because he was number one overall pick,

592
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: it's very much built around him. And then after five

593
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: years and that contract goes up, he better be able

594
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: to elevate everybody. Uh. I can't rightfully tell you JP

595
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: based on a summertime, no pad practice. If he's elevating people. Yet,

596
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: but as Buckey alluded to, the ball looks right coming

597
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: out of his hand. It is going and the proper

598
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: strikes own. You don't have a lot of guys reaching

599
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: for it in seven on seven where it's horrible passes

600
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: and you wonder what in the world this guy is doing.

601
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean that can hurt players too, if they're like

602
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: reaching weird places and tweaks and this and that, and

603
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: it overall just hurts confidence efficiency. Right now, this time

604
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: of year, for a quarterback, it's supposed to be easy

605
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: a lot with with you know, especially in non seven

606
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: on seven, nine eleven. He looks comfortable. He looks, you know,

607
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: like he's not clouded with his head, he's not thinking

608
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: about other things. He looks like he's supposed to look,

609
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: which you know, after nine ten years of talking this

610
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: time of year, JP, you know, I always say at

611
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: this point, you can't prove anything about how you're going

612
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: to do next season, but you can look as good

613
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: as you can possibly look. And right now, Trevor Lawrence

614
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: in the offense, you know, to me, they look the

615
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: part so far. I don't know what that means when

616
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: not a had to go on but I'd rather be

617
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: saying that than oh, we just hearned from Christian Kirk

618
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: a moment ago Jaguars wide receivers in studio here and

619
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: our first real chance to sit down with him, um

620
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: since he since really the press conference, I think and

621
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: uh kind of getting his head and it felt like

622
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: that press conference just wasn't his comfort zone. Like every

623
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: everything's going on, big contract everything, there's some outside criticism

624
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: all that, but just hearing his tone in the last

625
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: twenty minutes or so, he's locked in now and it

626
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: feels like he's in his element where he's I don't

627
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: know if he's running the wide receiver room per se.

628
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: There are some veteran guys in there, but he might

629
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: have that type of personality where he just does his

630
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: business and kind of people follow the way he goes

631
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: about it. And his skill set, obviously is something they

632
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: were searching out in free agency. His ability to to

633
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: learn and play different positions on the offense. And I

634
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: don't think that's just his role. I think that's a

635
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: lot of these receivers roles as you've got to learn

636
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: these different spots, so play callers like Doug Peterson, the

637
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: O C and press Taylor can move you around and

638
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: match you up in different situations, and that's that's going

639
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: to be perfect. I think for Christian Kirk, everything you

640
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: hear about him is that he's a guy you want

641
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: your wide receiver room. He approaches everything the right way.

642
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: He's a pro if you will. Uh. That feels like

643
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: what they were going after in free agency and the draft.

644
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: He seems to define that. You know, at at five

645
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: eleven six ft, I can't sit here and rightfully say

646
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: that he's ever going to be a quote true X

647
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: outside I mean true why wide receiver guy that's going

648
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: to dominate opponents physically. But it does very much seem

649
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: like if their goal was to upgrade the wide receiver

650
00:32:55,040 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: position overall, create more talent, more ability to strain defenses,

651
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: a guy who can play everything that you want him

652
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: to play for you offensively at that receiver position. It

653
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: seems like they've got that guy. Uh. I've had a

654
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: lot of conversations about Christian Kirk with Pete Prisco, who

655
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: covers the NFL Here covers the NFL and CBS Sports.

656
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: He's very tight with Sean Jefferson, who coach Christian Kirk.

657
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: Pete keeps telling me John Sean Jefferson believed really highly

658
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: in this guy, says he controlled the room in Arizona

659
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins Larry Fitzgerald as an influence. UH. That

660
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: seems real to me, you know, and it seems to

661
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: line up. I talked I talked with Christian uh a

662
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: day or two ago. He's impressive in how he approaches things.

663
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: He's impressive and seems very professional. It seems like he's

664
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: going to fit into this. You know, I can never

665
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: pre dick when you first bring a guy in, how

666
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: good they're going to be. You can get a bad

667
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: feeling about a guy. Though. You don't have that feeling

668
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: about Christian Shirk. Christian Kirky feeling no matter what happens,

669
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: he's going to figure out a way to contribute and

670
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: make this room better. I don't know how you look

671
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: up to a contract and free hd JP. I mean,

672
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: so throwing that out the window. What they wanted to

673
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: do with free agency is raise and get and get

674
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: this thing better. It seems like Christian Kirk did that

675
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars better. I don't I don't know how

676
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: you do that, but I don't think they care about that.

677
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: That much in terms of how do you do that.

678
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: I believe they're better with this kid on the team.

679
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: You get a base level of player level better this

680
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: team and that helps that. I mean, you just gotta

681
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: have better players. Yeah, and it cost money. It certainly

682
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: seems like he fits that bill to me. John Osan's

683
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars dot Com senior writer. It's Jaguars Happy

684
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: Hour on tint xel am and Jaguars dot com and

685
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: the Jaguars social media channels Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Oh

686
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: you go from one pass catcher to another. That you

687
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: caught up earlier this week with John and Evan Ingram.

688
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: Another free agency edition that Jaguar spent some money, I

689
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: think the most in free agency this year around the

690
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: National Football League. I think a total of three million

691
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: dollars over the contracts we're put out. That's that's a

692
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: lot going out. A lot of that on offense, of course,

693
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk got the biggest bulk of that. Evan Ingram

694
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: got a year's share of that though, and a former

695
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: first round pick, uh, you know, and another guy who

696
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: you can move around. He's not just a tight end

697
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: off the right tackles, hit blocking, he's out there and

698
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: they can catch us down the field wide. As we

699
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: can see if you're watching on Jaguars dot Com. He

700
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: he did some with New York with the Giants. That's

701
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: the idea again here in Jacksonville, I think, and again

702
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: this time of year, you're trying to project and you're

703
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: trying to put in perspective what in my all mean.

704
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: I there's something about the Ingram signing to me that

705
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: seems overlooked. It seems like there was so much focus

706
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: on Christian Kirk and so much talk among fans and

707
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: observes about what they didn't do. Um. I think the

708
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: way Ingram plays, I don't know that there's going to

709
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: be that much difference in a lot of plays and

710
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: how he's used, as it would be with the wide receiver.

711
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: So there was a lot of anks among the families

712
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: where they didn't improve wide receiver enough. They didn't do

713
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: this enough. You know, Ingram is a tight end, but conceptually,

714
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: if what you were doing was trying to add elements

715
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: around Trevor Lawrence, this was a guy who did that.

716
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: And again we're not gonna try to give away too

717
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: much with what they're trying to do scheme wise, because

718
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: they're not gonna show us everything anyway, But this guy

719
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: is moving around a lot in the offense. Uh, he

720
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: is going to be a piece. And I can't imagine

721
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 1: that there aren't a lot of plays where he plays

722
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: a role much like that quote one wide receiver that

723
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: everybody wanted in the offseason. So, um, he might be

724
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: the key of the free agent class and he might

725
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: be the and Kirk's gotta be good, don't get me wrong.

726
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: But the thing that pushes him over the top, thing

727
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: that gives him that tool that maybe people thought they

728
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: didn't go get is Angram And and he's I'll tell you,

729
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't always say hey, go listen to the podcast.

730
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: You know Ingram is really an interesting guy to talk to.

731
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: He has a really good perspective on this. Um, you know,

732
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: he knows this is a huge chance and the one

733
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: year deals approved deal, one year nine million dollar contractor Yeah,

734
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: he's I have a good feeling about this guy and

735
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: his his ability to do what they're asking to do

736
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: in this game. He certainly thinks this is going to

737
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: be the year that pushes him into I don't know

738
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: what elite means, but but pushes him into a place

739
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: where he goes and makes a lot of money. Uh.

740
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: He thinks it's gonna be a year where he breaks out.

741
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: He loves Doug Peterson's offense. He's wanted to play for

742
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson tight end. We've been talking about it for

743
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: how many years? J V we talked about earlier. I

744
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: mean I listened to some guys Julius Thomas, Safarian Jenkins,

745
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Eifford. I mean, I've tried so many different ways

746
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: to figure it out since Mercedes. It feels like this

747
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: group with Ingram Arnold ah manners more of a block

748
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: and we can catch it. Feels like Ingram and Arnold. Uh.

749
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but might be the guys

750
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: at this position if this team has been waiting for

751
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: for so long long and I laugh because we've been

752
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: saying it for so long that it'll fall on deaf ears,

753
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: But boy do they look different in O T A S.

754
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: Then that position has looked ever here. I'm excited to

755
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: hear the podcast because I haven't had a chance to

756
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: visit with Evan Ingram yet. We'll be on our Jaguars

757
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: media Yeah, on the website Jaguars dot com. On the

758
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 1: podcast where that you listen to your podcast. Yeah, wherever

759
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: you download your comment, but whatever you want. It's uh.

760
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: We we love feedback. We didn't feed that exact if

761
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: it's bad, and then I don't love to feed that.

762
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: At least you know what it is. Criticism either way

763
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: is constructive. No, you're not. You're not buying into all

764
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: about praise. Okay, I love it. Hey, we'll take a

765
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: time out. We'll come back. John. We're gonna go around

766

768
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: do around the league with John Osan when we come

769
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: back and listen to his podcast. The ozone podcast on

770
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: the official Jaguars podcast network is Jaguars Happy Hour on

771
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour on

772
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: a Thursday, and they look outside on Jaguars dot Com

773
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars social channels at the footprint of the

774
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: Football Performance Center. Well earlier this week there was actual

775
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: steel going up for the first time it's been concrete.

776
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: The foundation. Some walls on the side are kind of

777
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 1: there now being held up by props on the side,

778
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: but they actually put some steel beams across a couple

779
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: of those today, earlier this week. Actually, um, so they're

780
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: moving right along. It's hard work. I spent some time

781
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: out there of steel JP. I thought you looked strong. Well, yeah,

782
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's in the morning. That's what I did.

783
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: That kind of a d drive I was that I was.

784
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: That's yeah. I was going to mention something. You you

785
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: look like you've been in the weight room. Yeah, it's

786
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: a task. It's a heavy lift, as they said, it

787
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: certainly is. That's why you leave it with the professionals.

788
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: And of course that is scheduled to open training camp

789
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: of three. And you know, we we eat lunch here

790
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: um every day. Right, So after lunch I come, I

791
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: walked down the ramp outside and I just I stand

792
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: out over the ramp overlooking this thing, just to see

793
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: what's going on, right, and just think on it, and

794
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: just think on it, you know, think through it. See

795
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: what's next. I wonder what beam is next, right, all right,

796
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: wonder what concrete they have to pour next. But I

797
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: stood out there a few weeks ago and watched them

798
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: tear down the old coal zone building. Talk him about

799
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, I was gone, and here comes the beam.

800
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: The other day. And um, I mean every day there's

801
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: something new going. It's it's it's fascinating. So the footprints

802
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: massive too, it's huge. It's it's been needed for a

803
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: long time. Uh, it's it's tough to win free agents

804
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: to maintain what you want in this league right now

805
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: if your facilities are not at least on par as

806
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: the league goes for it have to be the best

807
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: every year. But you know, there is a changing face

808
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: of the league and it does reflect Uh, players love

809
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, as they should. It reflects the

810
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: direction of the organization. And I think this will be

811
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: a a a huge thing for player retention, image, etcetera.

812
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: It's been needed for a while and it's gonna be

813
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: cool to say. I mean, it's and then they've talked

814
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: about this, Mark Lamping has talked about it in the

815
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 1: public settings before the space inside the stadium was so,

816
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's the original footprint and it's the smallest

817
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: footprint in the NFL. And then you've got coaches and

818
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: hallways and closets working, and the weight room spills out

819
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: onto the concourse. I mean, that's the smallest in the league.

820
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: The NFL um in was a different beast than it

821
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: is now. You didn't have nearly as much marketing, you

822
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't have nearly as much forward facing. Our department didn't exist,

823
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: it was none of that. It was well, there was

824
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: a broadcast department, but it was it was smaller only digital.

825
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: Uh my job didn't exist, which would be arguments to

826
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: be made now. But yeah, but remember when I got

827
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: to the Colts in two thousand one, which a few

828
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: years after that. By the time I left there ten

829
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: years later, that place had had to add on to

830
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: it's building if I'm remembering right, at least once, perhaps twice.

831
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: But they were off site. They were not inside their stadium,

832
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: so there was room on their campus if you will

833
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: to grow here. Remember there's no inside the building. You're

834
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: inside the building. Um. So it's been very necessary, and

835
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: you know, I would anticipate this place being built for

836
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: growth not being an issue anymore. But it's been very

837
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: necessary and it will be state of the art. It's

838
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: been you know something, he's not updated for twenty seven years.

839
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: It gets out of date. This new place will in

840
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: no way be that. It's the first step in a

841
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: line of things to come around and to the stadium.

842
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: Of course, the Football Performance Center is number one to

843
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: open the shipyards project four seasons. The office building over

844
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: there is next on the docket, and I think they'll

845
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: really start the summer to to make some true moves there. Um.

846
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: And then the state of you in the future will

847
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: will come up at some point down the line for

848
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: the latest. Checkout first Downtown Jack's dot Com and you'll

849
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: get the latest on the happenings around and with the

850
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: stadium project and everything around the stadium too. And there's

851
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: a lot there's dust flying, there's roads closed, John, you

852
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: feel it every day. I remember a few weeks ago

853
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: you try to come in and you got twisted and

854
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: turned around. I couldn't find your way, but they were

855
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: gonna let me in. I did make it. And you know, um,

856
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: people who watch and read these shows, note I was

857
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: here ninety three when they got the team, and then

858
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: here when it first came about. Uh. I'm glad forever,

859
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: however much longer I have in this business. There is

860
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: a point of pride. It would be really cool to

861
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: see this place. Go up the performance Center, to see

862
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: the stadium renovated, which at some point it's going to

863
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: be renovated, To see this environment down here. Uh, dramatically changed.

864
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how close the prototypes

865
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: will eventually be to what actually is. But considering where

866
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: it came from DP old MANU to death, I can

867
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: remember ninety four I was coming to the University of

868
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: Florida and yes, yes they were uh, and I didn't

869
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: I was living in Middleburgh. I was living sort of

870
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: between Jacksonville and Games. Were working for the Florida Times Union,

871
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: so I didn't drive into town that much. I remember

872
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: one time driving across one of the bridges and looking

873
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: over and seeing and people who were in town in

874
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: the nineties will remember this dynamic You drove through and

875
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: the stadium was basically up on a jacket, looked like

876
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: because everything else had been taken away and it was

877
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: just one of these pieces of the stadium was up there. Um.

878
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: And I remember going to the old Gator Bowl, so

879
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: so all that stuff to see what it's gonna be now,

880
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: to see that it's going to be stable going forward,

881
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: and state of the yard as it would be. Uh,

882
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: it's a cool feeling for this old sentimental type. Good

883
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: for you, man, I might even bring a tear to

884
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: my eye. It looks like it might. There's no crying

885
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: in baseball, No, there's not. Or football, Curly, let's go

886
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: around the National Football League quickly. The Richmond Times Dispatch

887
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: in Virginia is reporting this week the Commanders or proposing

888
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: a new stadium that would have just fifty five thousand seats.

889
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 1: Accordinated Pro Football Talk, FedEx Field had the league's largest

890
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 1: capacity from old Ford to thousand. That's a big difference. Yeah,

891
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: it's uh. I grew up a huge fan of the

892
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: Washington football team. UH two. I think that they're going

893
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: from is staggering and telling um when I was a kid,

894
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: which back in the day, the sellout streak was one

895
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: of the staples of the league at that place. And

896
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: it's understandable why they built it so large when they

897
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: did it in uh go four four because the thinking

898
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: at that point is bigger, bigger, bigger. It's telling that

899
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: that stateium in that mark, even the team has struggled,

900
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: is reducing to that's about the right number for the

901
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: NFL these days, and it's about bringing it back in line.

902
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: It's more about premium seating, luxuries, et cetera. But these

903
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: cavernous stadiums of old uh you know, it's just too big.

904
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: News nine in Denver reporting this week the Broncos ownership

905
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: bidding down to a second round coming up Monday. Four

906
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: groups are in the hunt. The hope is to have

907
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: the transaction finalized by the start of the regular season.

908
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: And John, you can probably hit the a t M

909
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: for the price of five billion dollars and get the

910
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: team if you wanted it. Well, it's it's but you

911
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: know that it shouldn't be overlooked these old traditional franchises,

912
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: which the Broncos are one of those, one of the successful,

913
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: one of the glamour teams. I think they're maybe not

914
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: quite in that old school, but they're there. Don't change

915
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,520
