Speaker 1: It is Thursday March. This is Jaguars Howdy Alice, Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hours brought to you by Duval Motor Company. And
Speaker 1: now the real reason free agents want to be here.
Speaker 1: Jane Peace, shad Welcome in its Jaguars Happy Hour, j P. Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockerman and a busy show coming up. Happy New Year.
Speaker 1: By the way, the new league year started on Wednesday. Year,
Speaker 1: Happy New League Year Logs, New year JP. Free agency
Speaker 1: is underway. Jaguars defensive players in the building today, those
Speaker 1: that have been added, a few of them speaking with
Speaker 1: the media. We'll get through what's left to do and
Speaker 1: what's next, and free agency will go around the National
Speaker 1: Football League as well. And Happy New Year Logs. What's
Speaker 1: up man? Free didn't see us up? And uh we
Speaker 1: got a lot of new Jaguars to to be able
Speaker 1: to talk about. Yes, we'll go through most of them tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah we will. But I mean as a whole, I
Speaker 1: mean that's I mean the number is I think is
Speaker 1: what uh what makes you go wow? Right? Twelve twelve
Speaker 1: now twelve agreed in terms including the trade from the Saints,
Speaker 1: which is a staggering number, which is essentially in one
Speaker 1: day you got twelve new faces that are gonna be
Speaker 1: on this football team, and you you probably don't have
Speaker 1: I think out of that group, I mean, there's probably
Speaker 1: one guy that really jumps out, and that's you know,
Speaker 1: the defensive background from uh from Seattle, which is uh,
Speaker 1: he's probably your your if you look at it from
Speaker 1: a dollar and sent standpoint, he's the guy that jumps
Speaker 1: out because he's he's paid guy in free agency. But
Speaker 1: you know, there's it's amazing to me in what we
Speaker 1: were anticipating so many different people being available and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, teams found a way to use
Speaker 1: the franchise tag to guys for sign and we thought
Speaker 1: that it was gonna be a little different this year.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, teams were able
Speaker 1: to work out those guys they really wanted to keep.
Speaker 1: They did the approach early the first hour, you know,
Speaker 1: four or five hours of the negotiation window. Jaguars fans
Speaker 1: are freaking out because the Jags aren't in some of
Speaker 1: these deals and big names, you know, but the approach
Speaker 1: had to be a little different for this staff, for
Speaker 1: Balky and urban Meyer, because they really just had to
Speaker 1: retool the roster. Get this team was one in fifteen
Speaker 1: last year getting some of their guys in here, right,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people were expecting the big splash,
Speaker 1: you know, Leonard Williams or John U. Smith, the tight end.
Speaker 1: And we talked about Tennessee that we liked Hunter Henry,
Speaker 1: I mean, people of those of those statures and and
Speaker 1: and totally understand it. But here's one thing. Getting those
Speaker 1: type of players is fantastic. But what you would have
Speaker 1: liked to have done is that you would have been
Speaker 1: instead of the Giants getting Leonard Williams in a trade. Boy,
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been nice if the Jaguars have been able
Speaker 1: to get him back down, Okay, so then he would
Speaker 1: be here already. Yea. So those are the the opportunities
Speaker 1: that you have to be able to take advantage of
Speaker 1: when given the opportunity. And you kind of missed the
Speaker 1: boat on that one a little bit. And then some
Speaker 1: of the other big name free agents that were being
Speaker 1: tossed around early in the part of free agency, and
Speaker 1: the Jaguars weren't in that conversation, and I who knows
Speaker 1: if they actually were. You know, they might have been,
Speaker 1: they might not have been. You know, we we don't
Speaker 1: know the answer to that, and I don't think we'll
Speaker 1: ever know the answer to that. But the reality is
Speaker 1: is that this team had multiple holes to fill to
Speaker 1: get this team to the point of where it can
Speaker 1: be competitive. And so when you're taking that approach, you
Speaker 1: don't feel like you're one or two players away. You're
Speaker 1: you're you're a lot of players away. And so is
Speaker 1: the approach wasn't different because of that? I don't know
Speaker 1: the answer to that. Are they in play for a
Speaker 1: lot of the quote unquote big name free agents maybe,
Speaker 1: so we don't know the answer to that. Maybe they
Speaker 1: had a number and didn't want to go past but
Speaker 1: but but here. And because they always use that term value.
Speaker 1: And when you use that term value, which is a
Speaker 1: smart way to do it, you you are willing to
Speaker 1: go after players. But there has to be a point
Speaker 1: where you say, now it's not a value anymore, and
Speaker 1: you have to continue to look at ways to to
Speaker 1: get value in other ways for your dollar. And so
Speaker 1: by addressing multiple positions with twelve different guys, and look,
Speaker 1: I like some of the names on on the list.
Speaker 1: I do. I think ray Sean Jenkins is a really
Speaker 1: good football player, uh safety, Yeah, I think He's one
Speaker 1: of one of the best safeties that was out there
Speaker 1: in free agency, and so I think that's a great addition.
Speaker 1: You know, I liked him today. We we heard from
Speaker 1: him today on press conference. He was in the building today. Um,
Speaker 1: Shaquille Griffin is here and Ray Shawn I'm sorry, Ray
Speaker 1: Robertson Harris is about to speak with the media as
Speaker 1: we speak. You can catch it on the Jaguars social
Speaker 1: media channel. But um, you know, I liked Jenkins and
Speaker 1: Jenkins and Griffin, by the way, I knew each other
Speaker 1: when they were six years old. They and the Griffin
Speaker 1: brothers and Jenkins played in the same little league football
Speaker 1: team together down in St. Pete. They were pretty good.
Speaker 1: They won three championships about that and now they're playing
Speaker 1: together on an NFL team. But just hearing Jenkins story especially,
Speaker 1: you know, the guy was he was a draft pick.
Speaker 1: It was a mid round draft pick. But the first
Speaker 1: two years he's a special teams contributor. He's not on
Speaker 1: the field defensively a whole lot. And then some injuries happened.
Speaker 1: He had to go play and really developed and in
Speaker 1: those first two years kind of humbled him a bit
Speaker 1: and taught him the ropes in the NFL, and then
Speaker 1: he earned his way into a starting role, and now
Speaker 1: he's earned a free agent contract. Yeah, and uh and
Speaker 1: well deserved because he's a good football player. He's more
Speaker 1: much more than a special teams player obviously, and the
Speaker 1: and the dollars say that. But uh, you know, this
Speaker 1: team needed to find find another safety, and you needed
Speaker 1: to find one bat. You needed to find a corner
Speaker 1: opposite your first round pick last year, you know, because
Speaker 1: the reality is is that you have hope and high
Speaker 1: expectations with a first round pick on your roster at
Speaker 1: at the corner spot. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you still you still he still has a lot to prove,
Speaker 1: and so you need or it would have been nice
Speaker 1: if this team was going to free agency to be
Speaker 1: able to find an answer on the opposite side that,
Speaker 1: you know, because I mean, when you're in free agency,
Speaker 1: you know. And so they got Griffin and I think
Speaker 1: that was a great acquisition and then now the young
Speaker 1: player has to develop. Us Happening now on Jaguars dot Com,
Speaker 1: we're gonna listen live to the new addition. Ray Robertson
Speaker 1: Harris visiting with the media over a Microsoft team's call
Speaker 1: will catch back with you, and just a moment, here's
Speaker 1: Ray robertson Harris moving further away from home. I'm just
Speaker 1: curious when you got a nine month old, how how
Speaker 1: daunting is that to be you know, across the country
Speaker 1: from what you consider your hometown. I mean, we're here
Speaker 1: as a family together, So whether it's here or Alaska,
Speaker 1: you know, we got each other. So, UM, it's not
Speaker 1: gonna be too bad. We'll we'll have each other and
Speaker 1: um have some great teammates around me. Um, being able
Speaker 1: to meet a few, so I'm excited. Great, Thank you, Mark.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go over to Jamal and then Demetrius.
Speaker 1: Who from the coaching staff did you talk to and
Speaker 1: what were they able to tell you to sell you
Speaker 1: on coming down here to Jacksonville. I mean there's nothing
Speaker 1: to be really sold on him. And it's great weather
Speaker 1: and it's uh, you know, being able to play for
Speaker 1: for coach Urban is Uh, it's gonna be a great opportunity, um,
Speaker 1: you know, for myself and then playing for coach Colin,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be it's gonna be awesome. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, great coaching staff. Um, you know, I know
Speaker 1: Zack personally, Zach or Um, I know he's gonna be
Speaker 1: a great coach, and I think it's it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. I'm gonna set him down. Were with y'all.
Speaker 1: He's a little busy, Totally fine. That's Ray Robertson Harris
Speaker 1: for listening, Lives. It's a great, great group group of coaches,
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna do very well on the
Speaker 1: defense side of the ball. We're gonna do everything we
Speaker 1: can to help this team win some games. Perfect. Thanks man,
Speaker 1: Yes sir, thanks to all. It's coverage. Demetrius ever congratulations.
Speaker 1: Just how much does Jacksonville investing this much into you
Speaker 1: mean to you and your family? I mean, it means everything.
Speaker 1: The fact that they're willing to take a chance on
Speaker 1: you know, myself and um, you know, being an undrafted guy,
Speaker 1: I've worked so hard. But the fact that Jackson Fiel
Speaker 1: is willing to do this and bring me in and um,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm willing to put everything on the line
Speaker 1: and make sure that I do what I can to
Speaker 1: make sure we can win. Whatever I can to you know,
Speaker 1: to do to help this Team's Ray Robertson Harris, The
Speaker 1: newest addition to the Jaguars defensive lineman, free agent pick
Speaker 1: up from the Bears. And he had as a young
Speaker 1: child in his arms. Had to put that down and
Speaker 1: then continue the conversation. And he lugs is massive, about
Speaker 1: six ft seven, right around three hundred pounds, and you
Speaker 1: like this guy, like I think he's a real solid
Speaker 1: football player. He's big, he's strong, He's got the ability
Speaker 1: to play as a three four defensive end, which this
Speaker 1: team is going to be making the move to. I
Speaker 1: think the addition of him, the addition of Tyson allah Wallah,
Speaker 1: who I think has had an outstanding career and it's
Speaker 1: the second go round with with the Jaguars after being
Speaker 1: a first round pick years ago. And some of Tyson's
Speaker 1: best years were in the three four with the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Speaker 1: and so to see him come back his outstanding and
Speaker 1: Tyson alla Walla has been I mean, if you look
Speaker 1: at it, he was so widely criticized for being a
Speaker 1: first round pick and Jaguars history and and kind of
Speaker 1: was attached to Gene Smith and people criticized Jean Smith,
Speaker 1: how can you draft Tyson Alawala. Well, if you go
Speaker 1: back and you sit there and you look at it now,
Speaker 1: it's one of the best picks in Jaguars history. As
Speaker 1: far as the longevity, the production of Tyson alaa availability
Speaker 1: as well, especially considering what happened when he showed up here, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, that was the big concern. And then he's
Speaker 1: only missed He's played a hundred and seventy two career
Speaker 1: NFL games now and he's only missed four games in
Speaker 1: his whole career. And he is, first of all a
Speaker 1: wonderful guy. I mean he is. He is a top
Speaker 1: notch person, which they need at the locker room too.
Speaker 1: They want absolutely you know, Colin knows him and from
Speaker 1: his pastime here, and they need a veteran presence to
Speaker 1: to rally around in that as as we talked about
Speaker 1: probably a week ago or two weeks ago and what
Speaker 1: what the goal is and free agency, I said, first
Speaker 1: of all, you need to make sure that you can
Speaker 1: get better. Number one, You want to get a little
Speaker 1: bit older, a little bit more mature, because your roster
Speaker 1: is so young already. And then to find those guys
Speaker 1: that can be out front, that can carry a coach's message,
Speaker 1: that can can carry maturity because I and I made
Speaker 1: reference to how they tried to rebuild things around here
Speaker 1: in the past. You know, you go back to thirteen,
Speaker 1: the first year of Gus Bradley and Dave Caldwell and
Speaker 1: essentially stripped the covered bear and tried to to go
Speaker 1: with no veteran leadership whatsoever and to go completely young.
Speaker 1: And then last year they tried to do it again
Speaker 1: with going completely young. That just doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: You have to have some veterans that are at the
Speaker 1: forefront to lead a team, and leadership from coaches is
Speaker 1: never enough. You've got to have more than that. And
Speaker 1: alert from the National Weather Service now a tornado warning
Speaker 1: in this area until fourty five pm. That's uh about
Speaker 1: thirty five minutes from right now, so uh, keep your
Speaker 1: eye on the weather because we are in a tornado
Speaker 1: warning here in Duval County. JP Shadrick, Jeff Flagerman, plenty

Speaker 1: cornerback and welcome back Jaguars Happy ur j P Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Logerman, Glad you're along with us today if you're

Speaker 1: Visit Jaguars dot com slash community to fuel greatness from
Speaker 1: anywhere to hear from some of the guys today. Griffin
Speaker 1: in the building today, Ray Shawn Jenkins. We just heard
Speaker 1: live from Ray robertson Harris a moment ago during his
Speaker 1: press conference. And now to the offensive side of it. Well,
Speaker 1: let me say this, JP, I was enjoying this show
Speaker 1: a lot better when I didn't have to look at
Speaker 1: you on the TV. Right. For those on the video side,
Speaker 1: you've just joined us on after the press conference, for
Speaker 1: Ray Robson Harris and just saying here we are in
Speaker 1: high definition. Yes, that's right, that's you wouldn't be alone
Speaker 1: in that now. Offensively, by the way, something that Griffin
Speaker 1: said there I thought brought back memories to me because
Speaker 1: he talked about, you know, making his own journey and
Speaker 1: being a partner something special and and being a part
Speaker 1: of something exciting. That was it reminded me of of
Speaker 1: kind of my journey back and of me well, I
Speaker 1: mean just because in nine you know, I was looking
Speaker 1: for something to put the fund in the excitement back
Speaker 1: in football for me, because the year after year of
Speaker 1: losing with the Jets and and UH struggles and to
Speaker 1: come here to Jacksonville to to get the excitement back
Speaker 1: was was awesome. And I think that that can be
Speaker 1: the same thing for some of these free agents, because
Speaker 1: this is something new, this is something something exciting, A
Speaker 1: team that hasn't won much, a team that just went
Speaker 1: out and hired one of the most highly regarded college
Speaker 1: coaches in history. I mean, so that that's pretty cool
Speaker 1: to hear that from Griffin and how he that that
Speaker 1: was a part of the decision making process. Let's get
Speaker 1: to a couple of these offensive players. Let's start a
Speaker 1: wide receiver Logs and Marvin Jones, junior player um from
Speaker 1: col was with Detroit last year. And then Philip Dorset,
Speaker 1: who we know from the Colts. He was with Seattle
Speaker 1: last year. It's the seventh year coming up wide receiver
Speaker 1: five two. He can fly. So those are the two
Speaker 1: big additions at wide receiver, at least early. I think
Speaker 1: the door sets a guy that look a player that's
Speaker 1: been well traveled, a player that has had high expectations
Speaker 1: attached to him kind of where where he was at
Speaker 1: with the Colts, but never really blossomed. And he's had
Speaker 1: a couple other opportunities to blossom since then. He's been solid,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't. He hasn't turned into i think, what
Speaker 1: the expectations were for his draft status, which certainly sometimes
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. Marvin Jones excites me because the guy
Speaker 1: scores touchdowns number one and number two. There's some familiarity
Speaker 1: with him and the coaching staff. And much like we
Speaker 1: talked about and talked about Tyson Allo Allo and and
Speaker 1: being a solid leader, you have guys that can carry
Speaker 1: the message in the locker room. Well, Marvin Jones can
Speaker 1: carry the system to the locker room because he's gonna
Speaker 1: be able to talk that language a little bit with
Speaker 1: some of these younger players. And so that's a real
Speaker 1: positive of And on top of that, he's a good
Speaker 1: football player, just like Tyson Halla Wala. You gotta to
Speaker 1: be a good leader. First of all. You gotta be
Speaker 1: a good football player. And I'm not saying you need
Speaker 1: to be a great football has gotta be able to
Speaker 1: go play. You gotta be able to play, and I'm
Speaker 1: not you know, like I said, you don't have to
Speaker 1: be future you know, gold jacket guy or anything like that,
Speaker 1: but you gotta be a good football player. And if
Speaker 1: you're a good football player, you can absolutely lead. And
Speaker 1: I think both of these guys are gonna be able
Speaker 1: to do that. I need that on this offense. And then, uh,
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Chris man Hurts, the tight end,
Speaker 1: the six year man out of he was a Carolina
Speaker 1: last because they as Chris man Hurts or the report
Speaker 1: came out that that man Hurt is gonna sign and
Speaker 1: that was when all the other tight ends are on
Speaker 1: the market still, so all the on Twitter is like
Speaker 1: freaking out, and uh, you know, he's six six two
Speaker 1: fifty five. He's an inline blocking tight ends what he is? Yeah, which, look,
Speaker 1: if you you gotta do you you don't have an
Speaker 1: inline blocking tight end right now on your roster. Okay,
Speaker 1: you resigned James with shaughnessy. He's not an inline blocking
Speaker 1: tight end. He's a guy that can catch some balls.
Speaker 1: You need a guy that can block and that can
Speaker 1: also catch a ball occasionally. So uh, look, they were
Speaker 1: able to do that and with uh you want to
Speaker 1: be able to take some pressure off of a young
Speaker 1: quarterback by running the football, and you gotta have a
Speaker 1: good tight end that can block to be able to
Speaker 1: do that. I mean, much like how this team enjoyed
Speaker 1: the luxury of having Marcedes Lewis for so many years.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that this guy is Marcedes Lewis because
Speaker 1: Mercedes was one of the elite blocking tight ends that
Speaker 1: this league had while he's still playing, But I mean,
Speaker 1: if you look over over the deck of course of
Speaker 1: a decade, a little bit more than a decade, Marcedes
Speaker 1: was the best blocking tight end and football the only
Speaker 1: tight end. Mind you. They used to be able to
Speaker 1: block Dwight Freeny one on one in pass pro. Let
Speaker 1: me repeat that he blocked White Freeny one on one
Speaker 1: in pass Pro, so uh so good blocking tight ends
Speaker 1: absolutely needed. And uh, my expectation is the draft is
Speaker 1: gonna end up being a place where they end up
Speaker 1: finding they're tight end. I don't have any doubt about that,
Speaker 1: especially if they do not sign any others here in
Speaker 1: free agency. Jamal agnew wide receiver, but he's a kick
Speaker 1: returner punt returner by trade, and was with Detroit last
Speaker 1: time out. But he was a first team All Pro
Speaker 1: returner his first year in the league. Here's a bunch
Speaker 1: of return touchdowns in his past. Yeah, and there's also
Speaker 1: familiarity there again with the player because he was in
Speaker 1: Detroit and uh and there's nothing wrong with that. Again,
Speaker 1: another guy that can and carry the message in you know,
Speaker 1: I thought for a while that the return game has
Speaker 1: uh somewhat been depreciated just because of the amount of
Speaker 1: safety rules in the game and how kickoffs teams are
Speaker 1: just you know, touchbacks. I mean, the role of kick
Speaker 1: returners have kind of fell by the wayside. Punt returners
Speaker 1: obviously can still have a significant impact, but if you
Speaker 1: can find a way to gain a score on special teams,
Speaker 1: a couple of them or to set up scores a
Speaker 1: couple of them throughout the course of the year. I
Speaker 1: mean that's it changes the game. And the studies and
Speaker 1: the numbers and the and the the statistics don't lie
Speaker 1: that if you score a special teams on special teams
Speaker 1: in a game, you have like a ninety percent chance
Speaker 1: of winning the game. So if you can bring a
Speaker 1: guy in that can maybe score one or two for
Speaker 1: you in a year, bring him in, that would be
Speaker 1: nice for sure. Another special teams aces Rudy Ford, safety
Speaker 1: by trade from Auburn, was last with the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: and he's a guy that the Eagles fans I think
Speaker 1: are missing a little bit. He had some good special
Speaker 1: teams play. Yeah, and like I don't know much about him. Um,
Speaker 1: he's a guy that over the next couple of weeks
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be watching his special teams film and uh,
Speaker 1: I think that's the one thing that this team really
Speaker 1: They tried to do a good job with it because
Speaker 1: Joe D. Cammillos, who is one of the best special
Speaker 1: teams coach of the National Football League who was here
Speaker 1: for a number of years. They tried to find quote
Speaker 1: unquote role players that would would would that would fit
Speaker 1: in building a roster, and uh, sometimes the prospect of
Speaker 1: a young player of being a positional player sometimes wins
Speaker 1: out in the roster battle over a guy who can
Speaker 1: play really good special teams like Ford, And so I
Speaker 1: thought that for for the last number of years, there
Speaker 1: were some decisions that were they chose to keep younger players,
Speaker 1: but maybe they should have kept somebody that was going
Speaker 1: to fill that role of special teams, and they chose
Speaker 1: not to do that. And I understand sometimes that's the
Speaker 1: way it goes. But uh, uh, Ford's gonna fill an
Speaker 1: important role and he's gonna be a player that if
Speaker 1: you're gonna find a way to get better, you got
Speaker 1: to find a way to be real solid on special
Speaker 1: teams because that's one of the quickest ways you can
Speaker 1: get better by being better on special teams. And that
Speaker 1: for me, is not hard to do. That's about effort,
Speaker 1: concentration and focus and talent matters you know on special teams.
Speaker 1: But the focus and the emphasis put on it by
Speaker 1: the coaching staff I think is uh, you can gain
Speaker 1: a lot from that from that just alone. One final
Speaker 1: player we did not get to on the offensive side,
Speaker 1: running back Carlos Hide returns to Jacksonville. He was here
Speaker 1: in Leonard for that was there. T J. Yelden was there.
Speaker 1: He wasn't getting the playing time. I think that he
Speaker 1: was anticipating until Leonard for Nette got kicked out of
Speaker 1: the game for the fight in Buffalo and was suspended
Speaker 1: the next week. He had a little time then, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't a lot and he going on to a
Speaker 1: couple of different teams after that, including Seattle. So he
Speaker 1: has connections obviously with Urban Meyer in Ohio State UM
Speaker 1: the the offensive coordinator of the passing game coordinator as well,
Speaker 1: so they he is connected to the staff. Let's say
Speaker 1: that we'll see if he can, you know, spell James
Speaker 1: Robinson a bit. That's the idea. They didn't have really
Speaker 1: anybody last year on a consistent basis to give James
Speaker 1: Robinson a breather. And I think this is, you know,
Speaker 1: this is a thing to look you're bringing a guy
Speaker 1: that you're familiar with. You let him come in and compete.
Speaker 1: His last time here, he was acquired in a trade
Speaker 1: during the season, didn't have a whole lot of time
Speaker 1: to get comfortable, didn't look in particularly good shape, was
Speaker 1: not productive for this football team. It has been said
Speaker 1: that this team, the general manager said it as much
Speaker 1: Trent Balky did about the desire to find an explosive
Speaker 1: element in the running back room. To compliment James Robinson,
Speaker 1: I assure you that Carlos Hyde is not that uh
Speaker 1: that they will be continuing to look at somebody that
Speaker 1: that makes you whole old your breath when they touched
Speaker 1: the ball. And that's what you need in the running
Speaker 1: back room. And Carlos Hot is a He's a solid backup,
Speaker 1: that's what he is. And I misspoke earlier when he
Speaker 1: had connections, yes to Urban the passing game coordinator Schottenheimer
Speaker 1: in Seattle as well, but the GM, Trent Balky obviously
Speaker 1: with San Francisco for all those years when when Carlos
Speaker 1: was out there. So those are the connections. Let's come
Speaker 1: back in a moment. And there are reports logs of
Speaker 1: trade interest for a certain mustachioed signal caller. We'll get
Speaker 1: into that when that's an interesting thought. I got some
Speaker 1: I got some thoughts. I bet you do. And we're
Speaker 1: about halfway home. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars

Speaker 1: com slash community to fuel greatness from anywhere. Welcome back
Speaker 1: here we are now the archives available of the interviews
Speaker 1: the press conferences today on Jaguars dot com. Um So
Speaker 1: there were three jags in the building today and there
Speaker 1: should be more. I think the offensive guys will come Monday,
Speaker 1: I believe a little later. If not tomorrow, then Monday,
Speaker 1: and they'll do the same kind of idea, right, they'll
Speaker 1: go around. There was kind of a car wash of
Speaker 1: sorts today in house media set up, and then you
Speaker 1: go around do the media set up, you go meet
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and do the whole thing. So that's
Speaker 1: all coming up, So stay tuned the next few days.
Speaker 1: Moving ahead for the offensive guys. Now, there was a
Speaker 1: report Ian rap NFL network, who this is his time
Speaker 1: of year because he's the one breaking all the news
Speaker 1: and him and Adam Schefter going back and forth on
Speaker 1: breaking stories around the NFL on Twitter. Well, there was
Speaker 1: a report that teams have been calling about quarterback Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: Could he be traded? What do you think looks? I
Speaker 1: think a couple of things. I think that that that
Speaker 1: could be true. I also think that when you talk
Speaker 1: about Ian Rappaport and guys that do that type of
Speaker 1: job for different news outlets, they also um have great
Speaker 1: relationships with a lot of people around the league and
Speaker 1: they get great information sometimes and sometimes as a return
Speaker 1: for getting that information. Sometimes they might be you know,
Speaker 1: fed some information that might be beneficial to the to
Speaker 1: the person that's feeding them the information. So in other words,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like fishing. Oh boy if outdoors shows
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, not that kind of fish. But for example,
Speaker 1: let's say you put on the hook, you say, hey,
Speaker 1: this is the news item that Hey, we're getting some
Speaker 1: calls about Gardner minshew. When you put that on the hook,
Speaker 1: other teams that may have thought about, we we need
Speaker 1: a quarterback maybe coming and compete, or maybe we need
Speaker 1: a quarterback to be a backup. Hey, look we if
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a chance at Gardner minshew, we need
Speaker 1: to do it now. We better call now because they're
Speaker 1: getting calls about them now, so we better go ahead.
Speaker 1: Hurry up times running out, hurry and buy now. Wait,
Speaker 1: there's more. You get a seventh round pick. So sometimes
Speaker 1: that is a done to drum up a little interest
Speaker 1: and to speed up the process maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1: So I think the report tells you one thing though,
Speaker 1: I think, which is uh, one of the things that
Speaker 1: I think people were curious about, would there be a
Speaker 1: spot for Gardner Minshew on this roster? And I think
Speaker 1: that possibly could be a little sneak peek into maybe
Speaker 1: they're looking to move on from him. They want to
Speaker 1: get the quarterback room how they want it. That's what
Speaker 1: Urban said the other day, something to that effect. So
Speaker 1: what does that mean? We're still for me? I said
Speaker 1: this before, if if you want your quarterback room to
Speaker 1: be at its best, you move on without Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: With when you're bringing in a Trevor Lawrence, I mean
Speaker 1: for me, you you you have a good young player
Speaker 1: that was a sixth round pick last year, that's strong armed,
Speaker 1: find somebody else to come into that room that understands
Speaker 1: his role. And when I say understands his role is
Speaker 1: not I want to say happy being a backup, but
Speaker 1: understands that he is a backup and understands that he
Speaker 1: is there to help the team and to help the
Speaker 1: room and understands that role. And I think that, uh,
Speaker 1: that would be better found somewhere else other than Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, are you and Alex Smith? Guy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm an Alex with guy because he if Alex Smith
Speaker 1: understands where he's at, they can I think he does
Speaker 1: because at my point, the last week or two people
Speaker 1: brought him up or whatever. Once you cross that threshold
Speaker 1: of you know what, I'm gonna be a backup. My
Speaker 1: days as a starter are pretty much done. I know,
Speaker 1: I made this great comeback from a leggage. Once you
Speaker 1: cross that line, it's tough to it's really tough to
Speaker 1: go back and become a starter, regular starter in the
Speaker 1: league again. So for a lot of guys, they want
Speaker 1: to wait as long as they can to make this decision.
Speaker 1: This could be the right to that. With Alex Smith,
Speaker 1: for the first answer that you have to find is
Speaker 1: one is is he okay health wise? Can't? Can't? If
Speaker 1: he were required, if something happens and he's got to
Speaker 1: play ball, can he do it? You know, it's not
Speaker 1: about hey, look, you know we want a guy in here.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. We want a guy in here that can
Speaker 1: essentially be a player coach. I mean, look, you have
Speaker 1: coaches for that, but I want somebody that can come
Speaker 1: in that can mentor a little bit. But also they
Speaker 1: have to have the ability to play when called upon,
Speaker 1: and ken Alex Smith withstand the rigors of playing if
Speaker 1: he has to multiple games during during the season, and
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. That's I think
Speaker 1: that's a question for the doctors, and the people are
Speaker 1: gonna be evaluating him and doing physicals on him, so
Speaker 1: a lot to determine. Obviously, still in that room. There's
Speaker 1: a plenty of time, though. I mean, you know, would
Speaker 1: you bring Gardner Minshew back if you had Alex Smith here? No?
Speaker 1: What else you gonna get right now? I mean, who
Speaker 1: else you gonna go get? Marcus Mariott is available, will
Speaker 1: be available. The Raiders are looking to cut his pace significantly,
Speaker 1: and he's possibly going to be available. I think you
Speaker 1: have to go either find your back up now and
Speaker 1: then move on. I don't think you move on and
Speaker 1: then go find a guy because you're kind of up
Speaker 1: against at that point. He still needed not that we're
Speaker 1: up against it. It's Mark. I've always said JP, I've
Speaker 1: always said that, and you've you've heard me used this
Speaker 1: analogy before, that you don't take a jar off the
Speaker 1: shelf until you find a jar that's better to replace
Speaker 1: it with. I think in certain instances, I think that
Speaker 1: that that's not the case. Because you're you're talking, you're
Speaker 1: trying to achieve chemistry, and sometimes when you're trying to
Speaker 1: achieve chemistry, sometimes you have to do a subtraction before
Speaker 1: you find something to replace it. There you go. I'm curious, though, um,
Speaker 1: will there be any on site offseason program on field stuff?
Speaker 1: The wait stuff starts a little earlier because the new
Speaker 1: coaching is to have April five, But beyond that will
Speaker 1: will be I think we will see, um what's will
Speaker 1: be the right term an abbreviated all season schedule this year.
Speaker 1: I don't think we're not We're not gonna see what
Speaker 1: we saw two years ago and before that. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're not going to see that and we're so I
Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna see what we saw last year
Speaker 1: where everything was completely virtual. I think that virtual, as
Speaker 1: the commissioner said, is here to stay. But I also
Speaker 1: think that there will be a bubble type extended mini camp.
Speaker 1: And obviously this is something that's gonna have to be
Speaker 1: worked out between the players associations and the player association
Speaker 1: and ownership. But I don't think it's gonna be too
Speaker 1: difficult to do that. But to create a bubble temporarily,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying a bubble where you can't leave
Speaker 1: a building or anything of that nature, but you're gonna
Speaker 1: enter a period of time, just like you had during
Speaker 1: the season last year, and you're gonna enter it for
Speaker 1: maybe two weeks and then you'll have two weeks of practices,
Speaker 1: mini camps, and then everything else will be virtual. That's
Speaker 1: I mean, if I were the commissioner, that's something that
Speaker 1: I would be trying to strive for, because if you
Speaker 1: try to do it in different segments, then you got
Speaker 1: to go through the whole process of trying to make
Speaker 1: sure that everybody is COVID free, and you know, so
Speaker 1: you try to do it all in in one tight area.
Speaker 1: By the way, we mentioned earlier to tornado warning, there
Speaker 1: was one southwest of town for a short time. There's
Speaker 1: these lines of storms coming through town. Now a severe
Speaker 1: thunderstorm warning in Duval County in the Jacksonville kind of
Speaker 1: downtown area. It looks like on the map here, So
Speaker 1: stay aware out in the weather, stay safe. We'll be
Speaker 1: back in just a moment. We'll go around. The National
Speaker 1: Football League and season ticket renewals are underway. Existing season

Speaker 1: Let's go around the National Football League and start with
Speaker 1: the breaking news. Just a few minutes ago, earlier this hour,
Speaker 1: the league announced the new media deals, and there is
Speaker 1: some money coming in. Explain yourself, well, the big networks,
Speaker 1: and you're talking to the new TV deals, new TV
Speaker 1: deals including Internet and when you say media deals, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking press you know, media like media relations related TV deals.
Speaker 1: J These new agreements will begin with the season and
Speaker 1: run through twenty three. Starting with Amazon, the NFL's first
Speaker 1: ever all digital package. Amazon Prime Video will be the
Speaker 1: exclusive home of Thursday Night Football on digital devices. About that,
Speaker 1: CBS gets a new multi platform agreement. They get the
Speaker 1: a f C package On Sunday afternoon, they'll be streamed
Speaker 1: live on Paramount Plus, the streaming service for Viacom CBS
Speaker 1: and they've first started to televise the NFL games in
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty six on CBS. By the way, they had
Speaker 1: a slight hiatus there in the about a decade, well
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. So ESPN will continue to be the
Speaker 1: partner for Monday Night football. ABC has acquired rights to
Speaker 1: televise two Super Bowls and exclusive regular season games and
Speaker 1: ESPN Plus subscribers can stream one International Series game on
Speaker 1: a national base. There's all these details on ESPN and
Speaker 1: that goes eleven years starting in three. Fox has renewed
Speaker 1: its agreement to produce the NFC package on Sunday it
Speaker 1: acquired in so I guess it was a little longer
Speaker 1: than that. CBS was out more than twenty years ago. Uh.
Speaker 1: Fox expanding the digital rights as well. They get a
Speaker 1: streaming platform to get NFL programming on their The Game
Speaker 1: the Week is the most watch show in all television
Speaker 1: the last twelve years and in BC Sunday Night Football
Speaker 1: the number one primetime show on TV. Well, they'll get
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, and they'll get an exclusive feed of
Speaker 1: select games on their Peacock streaming service, and NFL Network
Speaker 1: will continue to televise the select schedule of NFL games
Speaker 1: on a yearly basis. Not much detail on that. So
Speaker 1: there's digital distribution, broadcast distribution flexibility on Sunday Night Football,
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football can change. Now, Okay, what what's what's
Speaker 1: the money? A lot? I don't have the full details,
Speaker 1: figure get them and at eleven billion dollars is what
Speaker 1: it is for everybody? I think for everything, let's get
Speaker 1: the super Bowls first. We'll get back to that. CBS
Speaker 1: gets Super Bowls one, Fox gets three super Bowls, NBC
Speaker 1: gets three, ESPN and ABC get two super Bowls. So
Speaker 1: there you go. A hundred ten billion dollars over eleven
Speaker 1: years according to the New York Times. Yeah, when you
Speaker 1: said eleven billions, have the eleven year part. Uh, that's
Speaker 1: a lot of money the players, the players in the
Speaker 1: National Football League ought to be celebrating right now. I
Speaker 1: mean that's I mean, that's that's a lot of money
Speaker 1: that is going to be coming into the coffers, and
Speaker 1: a big chunk of that is going to be going
Speaker 1: to the players. And you hope that the stadiums get
Speaker 1: back to being somewhat full this year and everything else
Speaker 1: kind of falls back into place and we get back
Speaker 1: to a little bit of normalcy because then that continues
Speaker 1: to obviously drive revenues and the players sharing that as well.
Speaker 1: So but the TV, I mean, it's there's no arguing
Speaker 1: arguing that television is is great when it's about the NFL.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's no other programming that television can
Speaker 1: put on now that's even comes close to touching. It's
Speaker 1: always what the NFL had the the largest rating game
Speaker 1: or television shows of the year. Every years. It's it is.
Speaker 1: It is amazing how successful that the NFL has become
Speaker 1: on television. And you know, many people thought that it
Speaker 1: would become a mark, they would oversaturate it. Oh well,
Speaker 1: you know, you can't do Monday and Thursday and and
Speaker 1: sometimes Saturday from college football is not around Sunday morning,
Speaker 1: Sunday one o'clock Sunday four o'clock Sunday night. But yet
Speaker 1: people still go, they still go to watch it. That's right.
Speaker 1: Last year they played a game on every day of
Speaker 1: the week for the first time ever because of the
Speaker 1: COVID COVID Yeah, absolutely, I mean that's and the ratings
Speaker 1: are still great. By the way, the Sunday Ticket subscription
Speaker 1: service is still Direct TV still has the rights to that.
Speaker 1: Through no update on who will broadcast that moving ahead,
Speaker 1: that my guess will be at Amazon. Maybe we'll see
Speaker 1: I hope it's Amazon, because people have continually done nothing
Speaker 1: but complain about Direct TV and the NFL Ticket on
Speaker 1: Direct Tv. I mean, there hasn't there has been a
Speaker 1: lot of dissatisfaction with that part of the NFL's broadcast
Speaker 1: agreements because people have said that it's not good enough,
Speaker 1: and so I would not be surprised one bit if
Speaker 1: that becomes part of Amazon. Let's continue our look around
Speaker 1: the National Football League and go down to Houston, Texas,
Speaker 1: where the soap opera continues. It has been quite an
Speaker 1: off season for the Houston Texans. But now you know,
Speaker 1: we know Deshaun Watson. Once out of Houston, the Texans
Speaker 1: won't budge. But now away from football, there are some
Speaker 1: lawsuits being filed against Watson alleging sexual three lawsuits in
Speaker 1: total currently. A Houston area lawyer said that six total
Speaker 1: are on the way. Watson denies any wrongdoing and intends
Speaker 1: to fight this of all charges against it. Yeah what
Speaker 1: what what this does is interest if first of all,
Speaker 1: it's crazy and you hate that accusations are are made
Speaker 1: like that when nothing has ever gone or was ever
Speaker 1: gone to law enforcement about which I think makes it
Speaker 1: a little bit suspicious. But number most importantly, the Houston Texans,
Speaker 1: if they wanted to trade Deshaun Watson with this going
Speaker 1: on right now, is he untradeable? Maybe maybe you can't
Speaker 1: trade him now because if you're a team which a
Speaker 1: month ago, there were teams that were willing to give
Speaker 1: up the farm for Deshaun Watson. I'm talking give up
Speaker 1: the farm. But now you you just if you were
Speaker 1: willing to do it a couple of weeks ago, you can,
Speaker 1: in your right mind right now be willing to give
Speaker 1: up the farm because you've got to find out are
Speaker 1: he's legitimate or are they baseless claim? Even though it
Speaker 1: may be baseless, you can't commit to giving up a
Speaker 1: vast amount of resources to acquire to Shaun Watson unless
Speaker 1: you know that these accusations are false. And if it
Speaker 1: was just one, you could probably find a way to
Speaker 1: do your due diligence and investigate it and uh and
Speaker 1: then come to a conclusion. But now if you have six,
Speaker 1: which this attorney is claiming, there's gonna be six that
Speaker 1: complicates it. We'll see what the next steps are for
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. The Broncos rescinded running back Philip Lindsay's tender.
Speaker 1: He's now a free agent. He's homegrown from Denver, went
Speaker 1: to Colorado. He's undrafted, but he could be elsewhere next season.
Speaker 1: He can fly to Yeah, he's a good football player.
Speaker 1: He's an undersized guy that that has had great success.
Speaker 1: His rookie year was amazing. But has he in as
Speaker 1: good as his rookie year, Well, that's tough to to match.
Speaker 1: Good though, I mean, now he's pretty good. Would you
Speaker 1: take it? Sure? I would take a look at him.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy that that can be explosive
Speaker 1: on third down, has receiving skills out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: And uh, but I think the one thing, what's gonna cost?
Speaker 1: I mean, he's on his rookie deal, I think probably
Speaker 1: right now, so I mean it's probably not very costly,
Speaker 1: so that would be favorable. And what are the Broncos
Speaker 1: asking or I guess not asking anymore? Because he's free,
Speaker 1: it's a free age. I can't believe that they would
Speaker 1: do that without even trying to get any compensation? Are
Speaker 1: or maybe they tried. Nobody was to get little an offer,
Speaker 1: which ought to show I mean that ought to be
Speaker 1: kind of curious right there. Why why would nobody be
Speaker 1: willing to give up something for him? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is it the decline? Maybe it's just the position. Is
Speaker 1: it health? You go a draft one or undraft one
Speaker 1: kind the same way he got in the lead, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's that's an interesting running back cringe
Speaker 1: when they hear that, But that's kind of what it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who's the highest paid running back right now in the
Speaker 1: National Football League? Is it's a great question, is it? Uh?
Speaker 1: The running back in Dallas Zeke Elliott? Yeah, it might
Speaker 1: be Christie McCaffrey sixteen million season and Harley played last
Speaker 1: year he was hurt. Camara is right there to Saints
Speaker 1: and camarg If you could find a guy that that
Speaker 1: fills that Camara role for your football team, and I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not saying that he'd have somebody of that
Speaker 1: stature because he's he is amazing, But if you can
Speaker 1: find somebody that fills that type of role, who has
Speaker 1: the receiving skill lineup anywhere, Well, we talked about how
Speaker 1: you you like to find a young quarterback a really
Speaker 1: good tight end to be that security blanket. Well, Camerica
Speaker 1: is the same type of a feel for a quarterback
Speaker 1: and that it's a safe, easy completion the running back.
Speaker 1: Camara does great things with it after the catch. And
Speaker 1: if you can find somebody to to fill that role
Speaker 1: for your young quarterback, I mean, heck that that would
Speaker 1: be perfect. Ian Rappaport added again earlier this week there
Speaker 1: was nothing for the Jags. He said there was a
Speaker 1: meeting between the Bears GM Ryan Pace and the Seahawks
Speaker 1: GM John Schneider, and it took place in Fargo, North
Speaker 1: Dakota this week when they were both in town for
Speaker 1: Trey Lancis Pro Day. The conversation Russell Wilson, the Seahawks
Speaker 1: slept on the offer made to them, and apparently Pete
Speaker 1: Carroll to Saturday he's not looking to rebuild the team
Speaker 1: because he's sixty nine years old, and the Bears signed
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton the next day instead. Andy Dalton will be
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback QB one for the mayor could be.
Speaker 1: He said at a press conference today that he was
Speaker 1: told he was the starting quarterback for the Bears. The
Speaker 1: dream of Russell Wilson too, the Windy City is over.
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing, if if the if if they found,
Speaker 1: if they found or find a way to still execute
Speaker 1: the trade for Russell Wilson Andy Dalton, Well, I guess what, Andy, Uh,
Speaker 1: You're you're the backup to Russell Wilson. You get ten
Speaker 1: million bucks and enjoy These things are always uh on
Speaker 1: that mode. What we call standby mode until things actually happen.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just gotta wait and see exactly what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: But that's interesting. And I had a conversation with a
Speaker 1: friend of mine the other day and I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: so if you're if you're the Jaguars, would you be
Speaker 1: willing to trade your two first round picks and maybe
Speaker 1: a second? And this is pre lawsuits against Deshaun Watson? Okay,
Speaker 1: would you be willing to give that up for Deshaun Watson? Oh,
Speaker 1: the Jags? Yeah, I'm JP. I mean if you run
Speaker 1: of the acts, No, you wouldn't do it. No, Okay,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, especially if you have a
Speaker 1: number one pick. Okay, so so you say no, here's
Speaker 1: another question I didn't. Would you be willing to trade
Speaker 1: your entire one draft for Patrick Mahomes who you gotta
Speaker 1: pay that salary? He's got a contract, have room? Would
Speaker 1: you do? That's that's risky, JP, that's not even a question.
Speaker 1: Would hell? Yeah, you would in a minute. Or you
Speaker 1: could keep the whole draft and have a number one
Speaker 1: overall draft pick. Quarterback that's a generational player, says who?
Speaker 1: I mean, you hold the dice, You hope he's a general.
Speaker 1: You hope he's a generational player. My point is is
Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes is a generational player. Are you gonna
Speaker 1: win this year and a Super Bowl winner? With the
Speaker 1: register that they just put together in free agency? Where
Speaker 1: do I signed to trade the entire draft for Patrick Moles?
Speaker 1: That would be that wouldn't even be a question. But
Speaker 1: but I just disagree with that. I'm just saying, is
Speaker 1: that you do it in a minute here and here's
Speaker 1: a crazy player. Here's the thing. The Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: wouldn't even think about it. But the Deshaun Watson things
Speaker 1: is interesting. It's different, you know. I mean, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of with you there and that like I'm I'm keeping
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and that you know, we're keeping our draft
Speaker 1: picks and and something here. But but it's build anything
Speaker 1: without draft exit. It's an interesting question because Texans sometimes
Speaker 1: you gotta think that. Look as excited as we all
Speaker 1: are about Trevor Lawrence and how we believe that he
Speaker 1: can become a great NFL quarterback, you still just don't
Speaker 1: know for sure. You just don't know. There's that little
Speaker 1: hint of maybe it won't. But you know, Hey, let's
Speaker 1: go doll, get him, give it away. I can't believe
Speaker 1: you draft for Patrick. Quit doing it, stop it, stop it.
Speaker 1: Good to see Joe was over. He was what the
Speaker 1: Eagles do. I'll do it in a minute. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you next week. Jeff Flagman, Joe Fortunado trip with
Speaker 1: the our entire crew. I'm JP Shadrick. Thank you for listening,
