10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: with former Jaguars defensive coordinator Mel Tucker. He's now the

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: head coach at Michigan State, but last year he was

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: the head coach at Colorado and had wide receiver Levisca

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Chenault Jr. As an offensive weapon. Last week we heard

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: him discuss how they used Chennault outside, inside, at receiver,

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: even at tight end and in the backfield. Well, this week,

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Tucker described what Chennault was like off the field. Yeah,

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: he's a he's a really quiet guy and uh and

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: really two he gets to know you, um and uh

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: so when I first got to voter Um, he was,

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, very shy, and so it was a kind

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: of a process of him opening up, you know, once

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: he got to know me and the staff. But once

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: he kind of got used to us and kind of

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: found out what we were all about. I mean, he's great,

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, and he's like I said, he's a fun guy.

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: He's always got smile on his face. He loves his

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: team as he loves his coaches. He competes, he practices hard. No,

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: but for people you know initially that he's not familiar with,

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be He's gonna be quiet's gonna be reserved.

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: He's got the he's got the braids. You know, they'll

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: be covering his face every now and then. But he'll

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: he'll he'll come out of it eventually, and uh and

33

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: My biggest goal for year one is to gag respect,

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: not only for the people inside the locker room, but

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: the whole Jacksonville, the whole doo ball county. Of course,

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: Like my goals is to make it to the Super Bowl,

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl, or break records like that should

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: already be like that's already known, Like that's what that's

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do, Like that's what I'm here for.

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: So like my goal is to gang respect. Really, my

47
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: biggest goal is to game respect from everybody. All the

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: i G Live videos from the week will be available

49
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com. At the start of the week,

50
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: news broke that the league was moving all international games

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: stateside for the season. That means both Jaguars London games

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: will be played in Jacksonville this year, but it also

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: means some updates and new ticket packages available for the

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: Jaguars season. Senior VP of Sales and Service Chad Johnson

55
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: joined Ashville Sullivan, John Osier, and Brian Sexton on Jack's

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Drive Time Tuesday warning to explain there's some cautious optimism

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: right now. I think we all feel it, but there's

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: still some uncertainty so what we try to do is

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: help erase the uncertainty and then give you options. What's

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: so great about this Back to Football flex plan. Not

61
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: only do you have choices with your payments and how

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: can you defer some of those payments, but we're offering

63
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: a full cancelation refund policy, which is really kind of

64
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: unheard of in sports. So if you decide to renew

65
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: your tickets today and before the season, your situation changes

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: or you're not comfortable with where things are going, you

67
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: can cancel that with no questions asked, So it kind

68
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: of helps erase the uncertainty. Some of our fans maybe

69
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: have a compromised immune system and may be forced to

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: take the year off until the vaccines available, but we

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't want someone that's been sitting in those same seats

72
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: for twenty plus years to be penalized because of that.

73
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: So in those cases, we will allow you to pause

74
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: your season ticket membership, still keep the benefits throughout the year,

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: and engaged and rejoin us back in those same seats

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: next year. And that's really kind of also an unheard

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: of piece of the puzzle here that we really want

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: to be accommodating to them, So I think this plan

79
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: really addresses all of that, the uncertainty, the flexibility needed,

80
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: and the choices. And so far today it's only a

81
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: sample size of a couple hours. Um phones ringing in.

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Our staff is excited. Drivetime audio is available on this

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: podcast channel and video on JAG social media and the

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: team website. Let's get back to football. The offseason program

85
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: is upon us and that means virtual meeting rooms for

86
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: position groups. This is the time of year that offensive

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: and defensive plans are installed, but usually you can go

88
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: out on the field and walk through it to see

89
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: it for yourself. As newly acquired free agent middle linebacker

90
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Joe Schoberd explained in a video conference with local media,

91
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: it's a major change this year. So we're going through

92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: our first install o to day. And usually you go

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: through an install I go through the class room, which

94
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: I just did, and I feel like I got a

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: pretty good understanding of what we tried to installiday. But

96
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: then usually you go on the field and you get

97
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: to walk through it, and then you get the practices,

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: so you put it in the practice and like I

99
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: can go in my backyard and I can go through steps,

100
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: but I can't see the offense doing anything. I can't

101
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: communicate to miles next to me or to the d

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: n s to make some some calls here and there

103
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: to to get through work through it. So it's a

104
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: it's definitely gonna be different. Um, you just gotta be

105
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: really studious and kind of pay attention in the in

106
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: the classroom or in the virtual classroom way more and

107
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of go through the film. I think it's gonna

108
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: be a lot more just watching film and putting yourself

109
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: into the shoes of the guys who are in it

110
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna be able to talk. I mean,

111
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: we have zoom meetings that we get I get to

112
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: talk to making our calls in our checks, um through

113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: the zoom meetings. But no, it's not the same. The

114
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: entire league is dealing with these issues and trying to

115
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: figure out the best way to work around them and

116
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: still get the most out of the meeting times. In

117
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: a media video conference, Friday head coach Dog Moron explained

118
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: how the virtual process has changed and could change even

119
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: further later in the off season and training camp, including

120
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: the addition of a virtual simulator kind of get you

121
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: off your feet and people can use it in their

122
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: meetings that I first heard about it years ago in

123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Green Bay had it, you know. So what

124
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: they did is they just you're able to project like

125
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: a full It's it's really impressive if you have the

126
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: room basically a whole picture of let's just say, an

127
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: offensive team breaking the huddle and and there as their formation,

128
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, and it's on a wall like a driving movie,

129
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And then you know you're

130
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: a defense that you're sitting there and they break the formation,

131
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: you make the calls and you can actually line up

132
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: on those players as you go. Then as a motion

133
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: and move you can make your calls and you can

134
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: get more reps that way. From physical standpoint, you're down

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: on your feet, you know, especially during training camp. You know,

136
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: when you're on your feel a lot. You know you're

137
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: able to, you know, walking around on the grass obviously

138
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: you're on your feet. You're able to, you know, go

139
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: in there and get a lot of mental reps, you

140
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. As you go. There were a

141
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: couple of teams, not many, A couple of teams have them.

142
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: There was a little big push this year and I

143
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: think more and more teams are starting to get it

144
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: now knowing that, because I think that when you look

145
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: at how we've evolved from a time restraint standpoint, you

146
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: know from like when I was first playing, and then

147
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: you know where we are now. You know, times of

148
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: the essence and and you've got to look to maximize that.

149
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: We went and visited when we were at the combine,

150
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, with the with the that that does that,

151
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: along with Mike Perkins, so you know, we felt that

152
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: we would really be able to help our football team.

153
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: So it's not something that's new and sooner to us,

154
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: but um, it's something that's been around, but I think

155
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: you'll see more and more teams starting to use that

Speaker 1: a new content series started this week, Jaguars Throwdown, presented

177
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: by Publix. It features Jaguars teammates battling head to head

178
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: to answer questions from Ashvin Sullivan this week to defensive

179
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: players with personality, defensive tackle Avery Jones and cornerback d J. Hayden.

180
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: If you were stuck on a deserted island, it can

181
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: only pick one player or coach to be with you.

182
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Who would you choose and why? Okay, if I could

183
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: choose one player to be with me, I'll probably pick

184
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Linda because he a hunter. You know what I'm saying.

185
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: He'd be out there hunting and doing all types of

186
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. So we need like some food or like

187
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: some I don't know, like some some gadgets or something.

188
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: He'd be he'd be a great guy for that. I think.

189
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: I think Linda will be great for that. Alight. For

190
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: me player, I probably take Smoot with me because me

191
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: and Smooth we always bump heads a lot of arguments.

192
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be much to do. I gotta have

193
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: someone to talk to and then, you know, just in

194
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: case if we ever get close to some technology, maybe

195
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Smoothing there's a little something to get away around things.

196
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 1: If coach, I'm gonna take Coach Revs because every offseason

197
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: he goes to a cabin of North by himself, so

198
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: honestly he knows how to surviving. The little in this

199
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: buffalo thirty seconds is fat. I'm gonna have to give

200
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: that one to DJ because the technology we don't have

201
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: technology and technology, you're gonna be hungry, you're gonna be nirsty,

202
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: but you can work an iPhone point for DJ. The

203
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: winner this week. D J. Hayden will look forward to

204
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: this each and every week on the Jaguars website. Now

205
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: to the biggest news of the week. The NFL announced

206
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: the schedule Thursday evening. The jack schedule is available on

207
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: the team website. We won't go through it game by

208
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: game here. Tickets are available now, of course. Immediately after

209
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: the announcement, head coach Doc Marone joined John, Brian and

210
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: I to give us his initial thoughts on the schedule

211
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: release show presented by McCallan's heating and air conditioning coach.

212
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: Are all tough as the NFL. We get that, but

213
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: what is your initial reaction when you see the schedule

214
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: coming Well, I think, you know, initially, having gone through

215
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: of this now for you know, I guess about ten

216
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: years and then throughout my career as an assistant coach,

217
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: I really don't put a lot of thought into it

218
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: hire to the schedule coming out, because you really don't

219
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: have any control over it, you know, as far as

220
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: you know when the time you're playing, or how they're

221
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: gonna set the teams and where you're gonna play them

222
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: in the year. I don't try to look too forward

223
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: in that because you know that's you know who well

224
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: who gets hot, injuries come into play. There's a lot

225
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: of things. Basically what I look at is, uh, you

226
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: know where the bye week is and just kind of

227
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: the travel. So you know, those are the things I

228
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: look at. And you know, we've got to be ready

229
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: to play each week, and you know, the schedule comes

230
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: out and you know the week if it's early, you

231
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: might do some things different. You know, you like it

232
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle, you know, week six to eight.

233
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: But even then, you know, if you have an injury

234
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: early and you want the bye week early to get

235
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: your players back. So I think you can mitigate anything

236
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: that you you know, however you want to you know,

237
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: represent you know what what the schedule is, so it

238
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: is what it is. We're excited that it's out now.

239
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Gives us a chance to start planning. There's your radar

240
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: go up at all when you see two a FC

241
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: South games right out of the gate. There's pluses and minuses.

242
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: The one thing that that I like is that you know,

243
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: we know both teams, but they also know us, you know,

244
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: so you know those things that go into that so um,

245
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, and it's a chance an opportunity. You know,

246
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: they get yourself uh elite, you know, and in the

247
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: division because we know that, you know, the best way

248
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs is obviously to win your division.

249
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's set. So I think you know,

250
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: going in there and going early and then finding out

251
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: about your football team, you know what I'm saying. Really,

252
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you go through training camp, you

253
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: you may have a vision what you're gonna be and

254
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: how you're gonna play, but until you get out there

255
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: in the preseason. At times, I've been fooled quite a

256
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: bit by the preseason. I've had great preseason, i haven't

257
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: played as well. I've had a poor preseasons and and

258
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: and played well, and you know, so you want to

259
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: get everything together. But basically you want to get to

260
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: that and you know those games, and you want a

261
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: healthy football team that's ready to go. That show archive

262
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: is available on all the Jags social channels and the

263
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: team website Jaguars dot com, and finally to Jaguars Happy

264
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: Our Thursday. This show aired before the official announcement of

265
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: the schedule, but longtime NFL reporter Judy Batista joined us

266
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: over the phone. Judy covered the NFL for The New

267
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: York Times from and has been with NFL media, including

268
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: NFL Network since then. She had great perspective and what

269
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: the league's approach has been leading up to the schedule

270
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: and what it will be moving ahead. Their pass throughout

271
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: the off season, and you know, it's worked so far

272
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: is to just stay on schedule and do league business

273
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: as as much as you can normally. Now obviously they

274
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: had to make adjustments with the draft, doing it virtually

275
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: and they're having the virtual off season program now. But

276
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: but they've managed to get business done. Um, and so

277
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: they're just sort of going. They just keep going down

278
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: the calendar and and doing the next thing. And so

279
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: this is the time when you would release the schedule.

280
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: They you know, they intend to play a regular season

281
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: sixteen games in seventeen weeks and the Super Bowl February

282
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: seventh in Tampa. Um, you know, kicking off September tenth.

283
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: That's the intention. Now it's May. Um, it's four months away.

284
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: They will be prepared to make adjustments if if they

285
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: have to as this, you know, as things go along. Um.

286
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: But their intentions certainly is to play a full schedule.

287
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Is there any idea of a timeline of when they

288
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: would start paring it down or changing it or is

289
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: it too soon to say? I think it's way too soon.

290
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: You know, in another memo that the commissioner sent to

291
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: the team saying, like, nobody has any idea what's going

292
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: to happen over the next four months. I mean, let's

293
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: face it, four months ago, none of us could have

294
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: imagined where we are right now, right, So, I mean,

295
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: who knows what things are going to look like in

296
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: four months, for better or worse. So, uh, they've got look,

297
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: they of all the leagues, have the luxury of sometime, right.

298
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the NBA and the NHL are trying to

299
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: get back to have a postseason. Major League Baseball is

300
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: just trying to start the season. So I mean the NFL,

301
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, the calendar is working in their favor a

302
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: little bit. Day at least have some time to see

303
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: how things play out and to see how the other

304
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: leagues do it. I was told, you know, to keep

305
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: an eye on Major League Baseball because if they can

306
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: get their season started, you know, now the reports are

307
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: it looks like maybe they would try to start the

308
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: season July one, go back to sort of a second
