WEBVTT - Jaguars Happy Hour: Wednesday, December 23 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:10.119 It is Wednesday, December. This is Jackuars Happy Hour, Jackuars 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:14.040 Happy Hours presented by Fields Auto Group and now a 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:18.760 guy who knows the tenth reindeer is named Olive. J 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:24.840 Pce shad Rick. Welcome in. I have no idea what 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.360 that's in reference to. In fact, welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour, 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:32.919 presented by the Fields Auto Group on a Wednesday. Who 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:40.720 John the other reindeer? Olive, I have no idea. All 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:47.280 of their reindeer, all of the other reindeer. Ha ha ha. 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.200 You got you gotta have kids, JP, You gotta have kids? Yeah, 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.880 I don't. Well, I don't have any. But anyway, let's 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.200 we're we got a busy show ahead. Now that I've 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.600 been duped right off the top of the show, it's 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.120 me and Ozier today. That's right, you get us two 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.640 for the next thirty to forty minutes. It's first round 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.319 pick fever in Jacksonville. The Jaguars currently hold the number 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.400 one overall pick. If the season were to end today, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.440 it doesn't. There are two games to go. GM interviews 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.959 are underway. We will hear from our normal co host 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.399 Bucky Brooks. He's not with us live today, but we'll 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.480 get his thoughts on the three reported candidates that have 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.760 interviewed or will be interviewing soon for the general manager 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.120 role with the Jaguars after the dismissal of Dave Caldwell 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.679 earlier this year. Uniform unveiling Jimmy Luck joins us from 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.600 the stadium to show off what the Jags will wear 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.880 in their home finale this week. And we will play John, 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.520 You and I will play Big Game Jaguar this week. 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.520 So we've got a lot going on. Obviously, the team's 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.400 one in thirteen, so the things going on around a 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.360 one in thirteen football team are much different than those 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.520 going on around a team that's you know, two games 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.120 of a hundred and fighting for playoff positioning. You know, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.880 that's just how it works. There's a g M search 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.079 going on right now. The Jags are currently number one 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.640 in the NFL Draft next year. Um, there's a quarterback 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.720 competition in weeks sixteen somehow, But that's happening. That's the 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.160 real thing. Apparently, that's a lot happening for a team 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.760 that's lost thirteen in a row down the stretch of 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:28.760 this season. Here, Well, it's it's uh in a lot 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.760 of ways, it's next year already, and uh, I'll defer 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.919 to Brian Sexton who said that a couple of times 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.360 on our morning show Drive Time, but he's right, and 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.400 it's in a lot of ways. With the GM search 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.920 already going on talk of the quarterback, it's it's about 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.320 the future because it one in thirteen. You don't want 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.800 it to be about the present. So there's a lot 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.760 of topics. I'm sure we'll cover them all, but it's 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.120 it's a bizarre time, JP. I know you feel it. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.960 There's a huge disconnect between what you do all the time, 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.120 which is cover in the micro if you will, you know, 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.919 you cover game to game, and Monday and Wednesday and Thursday, 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.880 you have your routine and you're talking about matchups. The 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.560 macro is all anybody cares about, and we get that, 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.160 no doubt. But there are still two football games to play. 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:22.960 And the response to Doug Marone's comments earlier this week 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.320 that they're trying to go win football games, you know, 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.280 and the same as they were a month or two ago. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.800 By the way, that that response has been interesting to 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.600 watch because, as you said, people it feels like now 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.120 since they see the number one pick in their grasp 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.360 that's all they have on their mind now. The blinders 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.800 are on. Anything else to detract from that is not 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.119 going to go over well publicly well. And I get 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.200 that because and this is not a at all a 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:56.160 knock on fans. This is just fans do not get 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.320 a chance to get to know players and coaches the 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.040 way maybe they would like. So they don't really know 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.960 from talking to him over the year. They are wired 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.240 to win. And I get that they haven't won. But 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.240 Doug Marone JP wakes up at whatever time, wakes up 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.400 earlier than I goes to bed later. He's there every day, 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.640 and he's he's dealing with sixty guys who are looking 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.440 to him for leadership. He's not walking in going maybe 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.800 I'm gonna try to win this way. It's every waking moment. 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.600 He can't switch that off just because somebody wants Trevor 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:38.240 Lawrence next year, nor should he. Um, that's the great dilemma. 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.599 And you can say all you want about well, that's 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.160 that's ridiculous, that's all this, but it's how they're wired. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.760 They are not gonna see things the same way as 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.840 a fan does. It's never gonna happen. So yes, you know, 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.279 question would be better for the franchise long term, Trevor Lawrence. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.200 If they get the number one pick, maybe that means losing, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.680 But don't think they're gonna see it that way, because 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.840 no matter how magic get about it, they're not right 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.839 then n F a coach or player loses that, they 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.760 might as well get out of the business, because if 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.719 you lose that and don't have that, then the drive 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.760 to go win all the time, that's what That's what 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.360 you have to have as a competitor. So you don't 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:26.160 expect that to happen. Now to the quarterback competition going on, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.680 Gardner Minshew and Mike Glennan, Yeah, it's not a controversy 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.720 because there is no controversy. We've seen all three of 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.080 the quarterbacks this year and have a pretty good idea 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.320 of what they are and what they have done and 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.120 what they probably will do the final couple of weeks. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.520 And I hope they play well obviously, but we've seen 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.080 the track record is not great. John, so um, what's 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.920 your early odds favorite to be the starter this week? 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:59.279 I don't know. Yeah, that's my best answer. I wish 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.000 I had a better I mean, honestly, I think glenn 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.560 it will start, because I think if you were going 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.760 to Minshew, he would have said it. I feel that 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.840 I don't know how passionate I am about the prediction. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.320 It's it's not a hot take. I just I guess 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:20.279 they go with Glennon because I think over seven games 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.040 and then last week as the starter, you've seen what 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:28.680 Minshew is and I get that some people like the 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:33.479 scrambling and the creativity and all that. He doesn't make 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.200 throws down field that you have to make in the NFL. 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.720 He doesn't have the pocket present or at least he's 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:43.680 not showing it to win in this league. So when 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.720 they went to Glennon, they went to him because they 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.320 thought he had at least those things to run an 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.560 offense better than Minshew did. I guess they go back 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.200 to Glennon j P. I I don't know how passionate 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.000 I am about the whole situation. Right, That's what it is. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.359 At this point, it's week sixteen, it's Christmas week, and 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.560 there's a quarterback competition, and glenna would be playing his 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.520 old team that that would be the only bit up 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.720 in Chicago that they would they would see um James 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.920 Robinson is on the injury report. He did not practice 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.240 today with an ankle issue, and he wants to play. 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.760 According to Doug Moron, of course he's from the state. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.680 He's from right outside Chicago. I'm sure he wants to 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.840 put a good impression in front of the Chicago Bears 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.760 and go play more because he wants to go play. 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.120 He's an undrafted rookie who was on a great run 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.840 this year and he still has some milestones he could 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.200 achieve before the end of the season, and you can't 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.800 achieve those milestones sipping gatorade on the sideline. Well, I 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.760 think I think he'll play because he's a young kid. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:50.880 He's still fired up. Yeah. He remember when we were young, JP, 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.520 how he used to have like this bright, optimistic outlook 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.840 on life and hey, let's go. I think James still 0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.000 has that. And I mean a little facetious because it's 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.720 this week, but yeah, I mean he wants to play, 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.880 and he should want to play. The reason Jaguars fans 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:12.600 love him is because he's a motivated professional, everything you 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.840 want in a guy. If he didn't want to play, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.440 they wouldn't love him. He wouldn't be the player that 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.840 he is. You know, I would hope that if there's 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:27.360 any chance at injury, any chance of any favoring, that 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:28.920 they would put him on the shelf. They're not going 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.960 to do that if he's healthy, But in this situation, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.000 I think they'll be smart with him and not run 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.400 him very much. It won't be because they're tanking. It'll 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.640 be to protect the kid from himself. So we'll come 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.800 back in a moment. Some bear talk ahead. We've got 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.800 Bucky Brooks are normal co host on this show off today, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.880 but we caught up with him earlier for some insight 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:57.000 to these reported general manager interviews that are taking place 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.199 or have taken place over the last little while. Here 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.520 will break those down. Coming up, Jimmy Luck still schedule 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.720 to join us about twenty after the hour as well 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.640 for the uniform unveiling.

He's in the building, so 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.880 you I don't know what direction they're gonna go, but 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.280 you want to get that out of the way first, 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:57.720 because at some point expediency becomes a deal here because 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.720 whoever you're gonna pick, if you choose somebody from the outside, 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.959 you don't want to wait. Riddick and Smith also very 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.120 legitimate candidates. Rick Smith's you know, four division titles, and 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.000 Riddick's going to be a gem in the league at 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:15.680 some point. They also happen to satisfy the Rooney rule element, 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.640 which means that part of the process, no matter what 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:24.199 they do, is done once they interview those guys. So 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.720 now I don't expect these three d the only ones. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.319 But now you can move do whatever other due diligence. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.360 If it's Smith, go do your other due diligence. You 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.240 can come back and get the higher made quick getting 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.800 these out of the way, because they're out there, they're available. 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:44.880 You can do them now. You can't do any other 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.240 guy in the league if he's in the league already, uh, 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.040 because of tampering and all that. So get these guys done. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.880 You're ready. Now you've got three done, or however many 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.040 it's gonna be, I don't know the number. And then 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.880 you can start moving if you if you have other 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.120 people in the league you want to interview, you can 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.760 move on those guys when you move on them. I 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.439 caught up with our co host John on this show 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.760 every Wednesday, Bucky Brooks NFL network analysts with a full 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.120 conversation about everything that's happened this week on the Public 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:20.640 Sailgate show this Sunday, ahead of kickoff on Jaguars Radio. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.640 But this portion was his insight to each of these 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.720 three names that have been reported. General manager interviews reportedly 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.440 have started this week. I don't know. On Jaguars dot 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.960 Com this week you had some writing about some of 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.000 the candidates and what they bring to the table. Let's 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.080 go through them. Let's start off with Lewis Riddick, who 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.840 has been reported to have interviewed with the Jaguars. Monday 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.320 Night Football analysts tell us about his past. So Lewis 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.800 Riddick is funny because Lewis and our teammates with the 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.680 Oakland Raiders back in the day. And I will say 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.440 he is one of the brightest minds in football. Obviously, 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.640 you hear how he conveys and teaches the game too 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.760 fans on Monday Night Football doing the TELECASI and also ESPN. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.560 He certainly gets it from a big picture perspective. He 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.960 has been influenced the right way, having played in Cleveland 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.840 under Bill Belichick and Nick Saban. He understands how football 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.920 should be played. He is more the type that we're 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.680 leaning towards an old school tent in terms of smart, fast, 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.720 physical football. He wants to have a team that is 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.880 strong down the middle, and I think he has said 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.200 that on numerous occasions when he's had the opportunity to 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.720 talk about team building on TV. And so he is 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.480 obviously someone who has worked in a couple of different 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.120 front offices, the Washington football team, the Philadelphia Eagles as 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.600 a pro director, and so what he doesn't have in 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:42.640 top end experience, he makes up for in his expertise 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.600 and how he's been influenced by those who have been very, 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.560 very successful in the league. Next name up, Trenton Bunky. 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.480 He is the in the house option at least at 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.720 the moment, uh, the interim GM right now. He came 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.880 on in January of this year. We know his track 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.520 record with the forty Niners. They had some excess when 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.320 he was there. Yeah, he had a lot of success. Um. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:04.920 He is a guy who kind of worked up the 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.200 ranks as a scout. He has been with a few 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.800 different organizations, the Jets Washington before making his way to 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.480 San Francisco. Uh, really worked with a guy that I'm 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.840 really uh familiar found within that Scott mccleoyan, and they 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.360 built that forty Niners team into a juggernaut. Um. You 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:22.760 see some of the pics and some of the things 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.200 that they were able to do the way they played. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.800 They certainly, UM were a star studied group who had 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.080 a lot of success. And I think, uh, if he 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.280 had an opportunity to really put his import on the 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.400 Jackson Jaguars, I think you would see some of those 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:39.040 things play out, big and strong in the trenches. Defense 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:40.920 that really has passed for rush as that's able to 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.760 control it. UM fast at the second level on defense, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.920 and then if you flip the offense, playmakers, running game, quarterback, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.160 that's dynamic. He understands how to build that. And so 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.040 if he had his opportunity, with all the pics and 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.680 the things that are set up for whoever takes over 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.920 the role UM, he certainly would be able to build 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.080 his team in the vision of a fast, physical football 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.159 team that should have a lot of success, Bucky. The 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.160 final name will discuss today that has been mentioned as 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.280 an interviewee is Rick Smith, the guy we know well 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.560 in the a f C South with his time down 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.719 in Houston. Yeah, Rick Smith has been very, very successful 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.120 as a general manager. UM. In twelve seasons in Houston, 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.040 he had eight teams that were five hundreds of better. Uh. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.960 They won four division titles, three or four playoff mark 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.760 and then I think when you look at the draft record, 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.320 the draft record is pretty impressive. J. J. Watt, Deshaun Watson, 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:37.040 Jadevian Clowney, uh DeAndre Hopkins all were guys that came 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.080 in were cornerstone players for their franchise. I think with 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.000 Rick Smith, what you're getting is a very experienced guy 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.199 who is a great communicator. I think if you look 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.359 at his relationships not only with scouts but with the 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.800 head coaches, he has been able to get along and 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:54.840 try and create a cooperation that allows uh the team 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:56.760 to kind of have one voice in one vision. And 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.800 so when you look at the Jaguars in the situation 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:03.080 with the number of draft picks, the salary cap space, 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.920 the young talent that's available, I would like to think 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.919 that Rick Smith would be able to hit the ground running, 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.919 particularly because he has a familiarity with the division, that 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.080 she should give him an edge over some candidates general 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.919 manager and having Rucky Brooks Rocky Brooks, our co host 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:23.240 on Jaguars Happy Hour each Wednesday. He also joins us 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.199 on the Scoreboard show on Jaguars Radio, will have the 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.560 full conversation this week available on the public Tailgate show 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.320 Sunday out of the Bears Jaguars matchup and John he's 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.639 going to be um quite uh, quite quite somebody to 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.840 have on the air with us, quite a good contributor, certainly, 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.000 I think during this whole process and leading up to 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.000 the draft as well, we're looking forward to having Bucky 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:49.479 around here. No, i'd be great, and I h I 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.560 think I've joked with Bucky before, but it would not 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.560 surprise me if in the future he were to get 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.119 back into this end of the business, meaning either as 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:05.360 a player personnel person a GM. You know, a GM, 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.120 because he's he's good, he knows the game and he 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:13.320 knows I've talked to him before about this player scout 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.359 media guy. He's seen big picture, he's seen the whole league, 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.639 a tremendous amount of insight. I don't know why. I 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.040 don't know how long we'll happen Jaguars dot Com frankly, 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.920 because my guess is he'll be in the league at 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:30.199 some point in his career. Somebody who knows a lot 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.240 of football is Jimmy Luck, and he'll join us in 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.840 just a moment.
