1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Jime with Ashlyn Sulise, John Osan,

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Bryan Sex Jags Drive Time and it starts right now.

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguarys Drive Time. It is June four teenth

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: year life here on a Tuesday, as it is the

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: week of mandatory minicamp for veterans. But it looks a

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: little different this year. This is our last drive Time

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: of the off season as we all get ready to

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: take a little break here for summer, about a month

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: away from the stadium, and when we come back, we're

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: really getting going. Yeah, you don't seem excited about that too.

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: It's uh about five weeks away, and I'll be excited,

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: uh on July twenty third. Well, I think this is

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: that time of year where you do kind of unplug

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: a little bit and everybody out there has a busy

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: job and a busy life, and uh, the NFL just

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: seems to be NonStop, and especially as we've done this,

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, it has just expanded to fill you know, February,

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, when the Super bowls over all the way

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: until now and then picks right back up at the

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: end of July and away it goes again. Um, so yeah,

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who were starting to think

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: about getting a little time away. But I'm like John,

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, watching this team on the field yesterday, even

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: in a rookie camp, I'm excited about some of these kids.

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see, you know, this coaching staff in particular,

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: this coaching staff is really really impressed me. And I

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: can't wait to see how they run training camp. Yeah,

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff. And I talked to people and

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: they say, oh, well, why are you so busy in

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: the offseason. I said, well, look what this team has

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: been through the past couple of years, bringing in a

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: new coaching staff. It's a lot of work, but you

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: just see how much smoother it has been this offseason.

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: It's just a totally different world than where we were

35
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: a year ago. And it's just I think, you know,

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: canceling the veteran mini camp is a great example of that. Yeah.

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: I was asked the other night when I was out,

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: what do you do for money when they don't have games?

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: And I said, I said, well, frankly, I can't share that,

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: but it's it is a busy offseason. But overall, um,

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: you hate to sit here every year and say how

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: how good. It looks in the off season because people

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: are tired of hearing it. But Doug Peterson, you can

44
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: see why Brian he was able to overcome adversity in

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: Philadelphia on his way to Super bowls. Um, there's a calmness,

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: there's I've been there before attitude. Think about he lost

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz went to the Super Bowl that year. They

48
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: overcame uh tough starts and made the playoffs two times.

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Interrup That doesn't mean that jag Wars can do that,

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: because they've still got to prove they can do that.

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: But to me, that's what an NFL coach does. He

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: makes players believe in him. You can certainly see why

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: players believe in this. Have you read the book yet

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: or is that on the plan between now? It is

55
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: so worth it. It just gives you read some of

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years back. It gives you. It gives

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: you a really good appreciation for him and underscores and

58
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: highlights the things that you already seen. So sorry, I can't.

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: He's not paying me to plug the book as much

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: as I do. I just of all the books I've read,

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: the book explains everything I think he's doing. Okay with

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: that book, I was all right, let's get into big things.

63
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Big thing one is see you in July or last

64
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: week here in the building, our last drive time of

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: the Austina before everyone takes a much needed break for summer.

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: This week has looked a little different than years past

67
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: for veteran mandatory mini camp, and coach Peterson explains why

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: I dismissed the veterans a little early. No, it's all

69
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: based on what they've done. Um, you know, I've done

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: this kind of thing in the past, but at the

71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: same time, I wanted to. I wanted to see this

72
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: group work and work together. Um. You know it wasn't

73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: final until you know, just within the last week or

74
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: so for me to make to make the decision. And again,

75
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: these guys have worked extremely hard. They've earned it, they

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: deserve it, and um, you know we got done. Um

77
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: as a staff what we needed to get done, and

78
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: uh we get ready for camp. Big thing too is sparkles, splitters, rainbows.

79
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: You name the adjive to describe first round overall pick

80
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: tray Von Walker, who was impressing everyone in this building.

81
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: All he had to do was step on the football

82
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: field to do back in defensive coordinator Mike Callwell is

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: high on the list. You think about the size, the hype,

84
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: his weight, his speed is like the uniform. He's unique

85
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: and he plays that way and you see it on tape.

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: You see the burst, you see the speed, see the

87
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: moves he has. So we're excited about him and I

88
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: think he will be ready. And finally, big thing for

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: me is what does he have? What is he got?

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: Question mark that is running back Travis E t N

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 1: and so many questions around this guy, and our biggest

92
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: question will will he have an explosive speed that we

93
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: saw in college after facing this major injury. Offensive coordinator

94
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: Press Taylor thinks, so, yeah, the speeds real. I mean

95
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: that was obviously something everybody knew coming out of college,

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: not having a chance to see a lot of the

97
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: stuff he was able to do um ester year because

98
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: you weren't able to play. So the speeds very real.

99
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: He did a good job of just showing understanding of

100
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: the different roles we're trying to see and we're throwing

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: him in all the different positions just to see, you know,

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: what he's comfortable with, what he needs to work on

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: as we move forward. Give him plans moving into the

104
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: offseason or moving further into summer, coming back for training camp.

105
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: But he's been really receptive to everything. He's shown, you know,

106
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: an ability to grasp a lot of different things and

107
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: and show that he's capable of doing things. And then

108
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: he had it. Those are big things. Let's go back

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: up to big thing. One big thing to Sparkles. Yeah,

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: glitter Rainbows, Una, you see that. I don't know what

111
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: nickname we're gonna give him, but I'm not going to

112
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: be the one to walk up and Sparkles. I mean

113
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: that might give me a good punch in the teeth. Yeah,

114
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: and he could punch it from a long way away

115
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: because he's got big hands in long arms. Hey, Sparkles walker. Yeah,

116
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: I think she just tried to say, yeah, I thought

117
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: we were trying to a nickname and oh no, although

118
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I won't lie to you. And when I

119
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: walked on the field the first time and I was

120
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: a hundred yards away from him and I saw him,

121
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: my eyes sparkled. I went, WHOA, Well, if he wants

122
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: to be called Sparkles, I have no problem. Yes, he

123
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: told me that, and that's why I put it. I

124
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: got him on the Ozone podcast tomorrow I'll I'll ask

125
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: you if that's his game. I heard you you like

126
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: your name to be Sparkles a thing one Veterans being

127
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: released early. We were told us about two weeks ago

128
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: that there was thoughts that this would happen. And keep

129
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: in mind that O T started early for this team,

130
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: so the Veterans have had an extra week of work

131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: on the field. When that happened, I thought, awesome move

132
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: by coach Peterson, but I also knew, oh my gosh,

133
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: fans are going to freak out. Well, but he also

134
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: has the week the early week of training camp because

135
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: of your fame game, So it's calculated on a part.

136
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: But look, he gave them these three days so they

137
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: could start their vacation. They could start, you know, having

138
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: a little downtime away. It sends a really strong message

139
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: to the players who really like this guy and like

140
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: this coaching staff and like the way that they approach it.

141
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: You guys know where I'm going with us. But it's uh. Look,

142
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: they also had a three day extra mini camp right

143
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: before the draft. Um, because he's a new coach. You

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: have to remember when O T a s began way

145
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: back in the day, they were much more spiritually voluntary

146
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: than they are now. Now they're voluntary, but there's this

147
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: implication of oil boy, you better be there. So they

148
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: had a veteran mini camp at the end that was

149
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: mandatory to make sure these guys got some work. Well,

150
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: these guys have already gotten some work. My understanding is

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: it was close to attendance and Peterson was thrilled with

152
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: the attendance throughout. So if that's the case, why do

153
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: you need the three day mandatory. The three day mandatory

154
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: was put in to make sure that the guys who

155
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: didn't feel like coming in came in got the work.

156
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: They got their three days, they learned the offense, they

157
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: got to look at it. This is about teaching and

158
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: preparing for training camp. They're not evaluating what they do

159
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: out there is as an offensive guard is not going

160
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: to make them a great offensive guard. Come we say,

161
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: we can't even evaluate the big guys. So there you

162
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 1: have it. This team isn't a much different somebody for lamping. Yeah,

163
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: this week, like for example, I saw it was on

164
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: National News this morning that the DK metcalf to not

165
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: show up to mandatory mini camp. And we've seen that before,

166
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: where that's the headline is who doesn't show up to

167
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: this part and then you see for the Jaguar's sake,

168
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: almost participation when they didn't have to be here. So

169
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: that is why he let him go early. Yeah, it's

170
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: at that's made perfect times by the way, as he

171
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: said this spring, Hey, it's it's voluntary, it's volunteer. He's

172
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: explained that right, he said, he totally gets He let

173
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: that card be played early so that the players knew

174
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: that he understood and that he wasn't going to be

175
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: that guy who goes, I still want you here even

176
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: though it's voluntary. He wasn't going to play that game.

177
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: We had that guy. We've seen that before. All right,

178
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about sparkles or are you

179
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: okay moving a big thing? Three? I want to check

180
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: with you before. Well, he's got the game now no

181
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: matter what you do. Bread, okay, big thing three? What's

182
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: he got all about Travis et and the questions we

183
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: have with him? And looks great on the football field

184
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: right now, is present, which is a win in itself

185
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: that he's on the football field after that injury he faced.

186
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: But Brian, you talked about it a lot. We won't

187
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: really know till trail camp. But for Press Taylor to say, yeah,

188
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: I've seen the speed. It's there, that's the biggest question.

189
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: But I don't know if we can truly tell that. Well.

190
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: I watched and I don't know. I mean, he's fast,

191
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: but I don't know if he is what he was

192
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: before the injury. And as you mentioned, it's something that

193
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: I've been waiting to see and I don't know that

194
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: we'll see it until August. You know, can he get

195
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: up after a rough day on the practice field and

196
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: practice the next day or does the foot need rest? Um?

197
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: We we we just we won't know. Does he look good, well, yeah,

198
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: he looks good. He was a first round pick, um,

199
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: but is he going to be what he's capable of

200
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: being or was capable when they drafted him. We won't know. Yeah,

201
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: And he's such an he's such an ex factor because

202
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: even before the injury, Um, we didn't see him very

203
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: much the last year or so. He feels like a

204
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: rookie coming in in the sense that you're always wanting

205
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: to see can a rookie really do it in the

206
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: pros I did in college? So you have the wondering

207
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: is he what he was before? The injury. Plus if

208
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: he's what he was before the injury, is that special

209
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. We don't know that yet. But I'll

210
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: go to the other route since we've already talked about

211
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: the fact that you can't tell anything about him really

212
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: until pads go on give him credit and give the

213
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: doctor's credit for this uh A list. Frank can be

214
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: very very serious. He had at last August, so it's

215
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: it's what ten months seven eight months out when he

216
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: first got back. There could have been a scenario on

217
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: this where Okay, he's gonna come back during O t A.

218
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: He's not ready for the start of the off season.

219
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna come out during mini camp he's not ready,

220
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: and he's gonna commit during training camp. He has been

221
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: as out there and as participating as he possibly can be.

222
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: So far, so good. He's done everything he's supposed to do.

223
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: There's no reason to think that he won't be fine.

224
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: And just to give that an underscore in the highlight,

225
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: Corey Grant, you all remember broke his foot, did the

226
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: Liz Frank in Kansasy and never got back to this

227
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: in October of two thousand eighteen. Not just that, John,

228
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: I never saw him again. You normally when guys are rehabbing,

229
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: you see them around the building. I never saw him

230
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: again ever, but that the morning in Kansas City. The

231
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: last time I saw him in October of two eighteen.

232
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: So to have him out here on the field, he's

233
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: a really encouraging sign. It's just as John said, is

234
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: he going to be special in the NFL? We have

235
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: to see that before we can say, let me, I

236
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: think he probably will be. Oh, I mean, he's seen

237
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: it yet. He's that. He's that chess piece. You can

238
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: get him moving all over the place. He has the

239
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: chance to be. We just got to see it before

240
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: we can say he's there. Yeah, he'll be a huge

241
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: storyline in training camp, maybe the biggest story line training

242
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: camp in there. All right, that is big things. When

243

267
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: live look at that construction as team president Mark Lamping

268
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: joins us now on Jaguars Drive Time. Good morning, Good morning,

269
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: you brought your hats. We love that's I did. I did.

270
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 1: That's a That's a nice memento from a very significant

271
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: day that was that was a big announcement on Monday,

272
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: and you know it, it means so many things on

273
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: so many different levels. Absolutely, And I think when we

274
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: hear about this construction project and you see the magnitude

275
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: of the construction project, you think, all right, this might

276
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: take some time. But I am truly amazed every Monday

277
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: when I walk into this building, you see progress. You

278
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: see a difference in that football facility. It seems like

279
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: it's moving really quickly. Yeah, it's happening. Uh. You know,

280
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: the the progress is visible literally every day, hour by hour,

281
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: great collection of subcontractors or performing the work, really hard

282
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: workers on site and uh, you know, it's one of

283
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: those things where you you have to get it done

284
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: on time, you know. So we have to absolutely have

285
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: to be complete by the end of June next year,

286
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: about a year from now, so that when the team

287
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: comes back for training camp that can move right into

288
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: the new facility. Be very disruptive for them to have

289
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: to do that as it gets closer to the season

290
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: or even in in the middle of the season. You

291
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: know said yesterday, somebody said it yesterday. How significant is

292
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: to have a local company like Miller put their name

293
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: on it. I can remember when those trailers were out

294
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: there building this stadium and there was a Miller Electric trailer. Um,

295
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: what's it mean to have a company like that, a

296
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: local company step up to the plate to help whatever

297
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,479
Speaker 1: well it goes, It goes way deeper than that, you know. Uh,

298
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: Miller Electric has their roots here in Jacksonville. They're almost

299
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: a year old company, but they're a national company there.

300
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: They're known for their innovation in their in their field,

301
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: and they're also uh, you know, they employ thousands of

302
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: people across the country. They employ many many people here

303
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. They provide jobs. They're they're continuing to recruit

304
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: and try to add to their their work their their workforce.

305
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: But the other thing they have in common, uh with

306
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: the Jaguars is their real deep commitment to the community.

307
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: And you know, you see that in a lot of

308
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: different ways. But you know, the leadership of that organization,

309
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: their public servants, you know, they have a long history. Um,

310
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: you know Rhyna Auttery, h Henry Brown, who's a who's

311
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: a stalwart forms most recently ahead of the Jacksonville Chamber.

312
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: So they care about the community. They put people to

313
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: work UM, and they share shots confidence in in the

314
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: potential of downtown and particularly development around the sports complex.

315
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: Beyond having the naming rights done on the facility, how

316
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: important is it for the franchise and downtown just to

317
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: have that facility going up. It feels like it's an

318
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: overdue project. Well, it it unlocks a lot of other things.

319
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: That's why at the time when we were able fortunate

320
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: enough to get approval for this project, I said it

321
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: was something that's going to be really, really significant in

322
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: the history of the Jaguars. The reason for that is

323
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: it was the necessary first for us to be able

324
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: to really dig into UM the stadium of the future.

325
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do to make sure that t

326
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: I a bank field UH meets the needs of our

327
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: of our of our of our fans, of other stakeholders,

328
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: of the Universities of Florida and Georgia, the Gator Bull

329
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: concert promoters. We have to make sure that the stadium

330
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: can meet the needs of all of those parties going

331
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: well in the future so that we can achieve our

332
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: ultimate goal, which is to ensure that there's NFL football

333
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: here in Northeast Florida for generations to come. Where is

334
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: that stadium project right now? You know? We uh, we

335
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: kicked it off about two years ago with the with

336
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: the city of Jacksonville. We've gone through a series of

337
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: necessary first steps against some of them pretty boring, a

338
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: full assessment of the of the stadium. But something really

339
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: important came out of that, which is the structural systems

340
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: within the stadium are in are in good shape and

341
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 1: and and that's an important finding because it opens up

342
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: the possibility for a renovation versus having to replace the facility.

343
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: We then went to the next step of of developing

344
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: three D drawings of the stadium as it exists right now. Um,

345
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 1: we have been communicating, uh, you know, with with our fans.

346
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: We've had over well over five thousand responses to a

347
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: survey fans telling us those things that are in important

348
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: to them in in this uh in the future stadium.

349
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: And we actually you know, engaged a handful of sports

350
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: architects to give us their ideas and concepts and we're

351
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: beginning to to to narrow that down and and if

352
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: we can get to the point where we think we

353
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: can come up with a design that that meets the

354
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: needs of of our customers, that meets the needs of

355
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: the other stakeholders, that meets that the needs of Jaguars

356
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: and our employees we're here every day, and then we

357
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: can begin to get some idea of what something like

358
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: that might cost. Then we're in a position to really

359
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: dial up our our conversation with with the city. The

360
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: city has been involved from the beginning. I feel really

361
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: comfortable about the working relationship. Uh, you know that we

362
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: have and you know again this is this is the

363
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: really really important first step, you know, the Miller Electric Center,

364
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: and now we can really get into probably the most

365
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 1: the more important issue, which is how do we make

366
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: sure we have a stadium is going to meet the

367
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: needs of all involved for you know, decades to come. Mark,

368
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: you been involved with an incredible amount of this kind

369
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: of construction. Uh, built MetLife or we're heavily involved with MetLife.

370
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: How different is a potential renovation than building? How much

371
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: more complicated? Well, it's it's it's cheaper to renovate than

372
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: to build new. Right, you don't have to go find

373
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: another site, you know, you don't have to you know,

374
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: repeat all the infrastructure that's necessary to support a new

375
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: stadium site. So it's cheaper. It is more complex, particularly

376
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: when you're trying to take a thirty year old building

377
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: and get it get its state of the art because

378
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: it's retro fitting, I guess, and that sort of so

379
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: many things have changed and you have so much that's

380
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: embedded into this building. It is easier to build new,

381
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: you know, it's less disruptive to build new. You close

382
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: one down and you move into the next one that's

383
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: completely done. So renovations generally take longer. You know, they

384
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: they're stretched out a little bit, just like we're dealing

385
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: with with the construction of the you know, the Miller

386
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: Electric Center. The football team is a little inconvenience right

387
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: now because they're having to practice each and every day

388
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: on the game field out. You know, they really like

389
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: it so far, the players love it. I think it

390
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: adds a good atmosphere. Um But you know, that's that's

391
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: something that will will not be necessary to do once

392
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: we get the new facility open and it even things

393
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: like this, this this studio right here will be over

394
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: in the um. Uh, the Mill Electric Center will have

395
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: better accommodations for the media, significantly better accommodations for our players,

396
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: and hopefully all of that will lead to a better

397
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: development process, um, easier coaching and uh, you know, more

398
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: wins to come. So much going on right now. Everyone

399
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: wants to know about the shipyards in the four seasons.

400
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: Where is that project right now? Well, we're we're moving

401
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: ahead now. There's no question we've we've had to deal with,

402
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, a bushelfull of issues. But at anyone who's

403
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: involved in construction these days, whether you're doing a innovation

404
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: at your house or you're building a new home, you

405
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: know how difficult it is. And and that's a result

406
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: of so many things that are happening. It's really a

407
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: unique time. You have this unprecedented level of inflation. You

408
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: have the remnants of of COVID that are still impacting

409
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, supply chain as it relates to getting materials.

410
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: You have the financial market unrest, which is related to

411
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: some of the global uncertainties that we're dealing with right now.

412
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: And and you have a real difficult time as it

413
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: relates to what's happening in the construction industry. You've got

414
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: so much work that's out there, you don't have enough

415
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: labor to be able to support that work, and it

416
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: makes it difficult to be able to get a healthy

417
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: number in many cases a healthy number of of subcontractors

418
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: to bid on your work. All of those things combine

419
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: drive cost up, and you know, you have to deal

420
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: with that. It's not a condition that's gonna last forever,

421
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: but it is. It's it's something we've been dealing with.

422
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: But you know, again, this, this this project is so

423
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: important to Shod, It's so important to his his his

424
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: belief of of something that can be a real catalyst

425
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: to help downtown Jacksonville realize it's full potential and to

426
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: degree that Jacksonville fulfills it's it's it's full potential as

427
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: it relates to people working here, people visiting here, people

428
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: living here. If those things are all addressed, that has

429
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: great benefits to the Jacksonville Jaguarson our our long term

430
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: stability here in northeast Florida, which is the Shod stated

431
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: goal from day one. And my neighbor was planning to

432
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: build a garage two years ago and he decided not

433
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: to because of the cost. That's not really an option

434
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 1: for you, Well, it is, it's it's a it's an

435
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: option for a lot of people. You know, a lot

436
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: of projects are canceled because as the as the costs

437
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: go up, the returns go down. And and uh. But this,

438
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: this this project was is much more than just an

439
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: economic decision. Uh. You know by Shot it's it's something

440
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: that he believes can go a long way in uh,

441
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: spurring even more development downtown by other developers, not by us,

442
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: but by other developers. You've been leading the effort now

443
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: for a decade. Um. You have a long history in sports,

444
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: going back to the Cardinals in baseball. The last ten

445
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: years have been really eventful, haven't they. I mean you

446
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: look at London and Covid and the shipyards and is

447
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: it Is it what you thought it might be? Or? Um,

448
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: are you are? Are you? Are you where you thought

449
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: you might be? I guess it's a better way to

450
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: ask it. Well, and that's that's really interesting. And you

451
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: didn't mentioned Fulham and Daily's Place and the music activities

452
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: that we're doing. Um I am. I am blown away

453
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 1: with the quality of the staff that we that we have.

454
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: I never thought that we'd be able to build such

455
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: a such a great um um collection of committed men

456
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: and women to work here. You know, we inherited a

457
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: lot of great employees to begin with, but we've been

458
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: able to supplement that with with many others. So I

459
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: don't I'm I'm really really pleased with the equality of

460
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: our of our staff. UM. I didn't really understand the

461
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: scale of shots ambition and commitment to growth, and that

462
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: has been probably the most interesting thing of of of

463
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: my job certainly has been you know, shods constant support

464
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: of efforts to grow the franchise and and uh, you

465
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: know lead to the stability that you know, I think

466
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: we uh we are enjoying. So all those things you mentioned,

467
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: it makes it more interesting if you're on the business

468
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: side here. You know, nobody wants to just be going

469
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: through the motions of of of just day to day

470
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: the business of football, you know, So it's it's it's

471
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 1: it's really interesting. You've seen the growth on on your

472
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: guys side of the business in terms of the digital

473
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: platforms that have that have been built. So you know, obviously,

474
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, no one is is pleased with what our

475
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: performance has been on the fee. UM, but I think

476
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's maybe because it's been ten years,

477
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: maybe we're sort of just convincing ourselves that you know,

478
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: it's it's now is maybe our time. Uh, there's a

479
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: really high level of confidence. And you know, I really

480
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: I chucked that up to uh two two dug and

481
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: and the calming h impact he has had on the organization.

482
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: It's just things are really so normal. There's no surprises,

483
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: and it's a and uh, you know, I give I

484
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: give him him and Trent all the all the credit

485
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: in the world to not get distracted by all of

486
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: the noise that came out of the end of last

487
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: year and all of the rhetoric during the off season.

488
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: And you know, you couldn't you couldn't turn on the

489
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: radio without nine out of tend people, you know, ridiculing

490
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: the organization, you know. And and I I understand fans

491
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: um right to express their feelings and they do that

492
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: because they care, you know. You what when when you

493
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: should get concerned is when there's people that are just quiet,

494
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: you know, and they just stopped caring. So look, you know,

495
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: we're in the criticism business. Unfortunately, we've probably gotten pretty

496
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: good at it for a good reason. But I think,

497
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: but but I really, I really think, and I don't

498
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: think I'm just talking myself into this because I think

499
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: it shared throughout the building. I think you know better

500
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: days you're coming in, they're gonna come soon. Totally agree.

501
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: We're excited for all the newness. We all noticed the

502
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: calming presence of coach Peterson and Trent Bulky. It's been

503
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: a nice change that Bok I have. I did read it.

504
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah it's good, isn't It gives you good insight into him. Yeah,

505
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: it sort of. That gave me flashbacks to uh, Gillette

506
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: Stadium in the ANFC championship game. But other than that,

507
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 1: you know, reminded me of of that how close we were.

508
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: And again, you know that's that's ancient history. But you know,

509
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: things can happen quickly in the in the NFL. You know,

510
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: we saw it happen with with Cincinnati. You know, Kansas

511
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: City came in here for the game. Uh you know,

512
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: I guess it was four years ago. They had the

513
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: number one pick in the draft. Remember that they picked

514
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: I guess the offensive lineman Fisher. So things can happen

515
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: to hurry if you if you have a quarterback, and

516
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: I think there's a there's a high level of confidence

517
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: that we do. You know that we do. He's the guy. Yes, well,

518
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,159

525
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: show of the off season. Thank you to Mark Lamping

526
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 1: for joining us. Great insight on this facility that's being

527
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: built very quickly in the parking lot, and it is

528
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: time for Ashlan ask getting back on the football field

529
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: for some questions about this team. Alan asked number one

530
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: fellas who needs a bigger season this upcoming year? Levisca

531
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: Chenalts or calevan Chase on Les. Both of these guys

532
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: really ridiculed and you know, judge for their lack of

533
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: success so far this year, especially with both of them

534
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: being high draft picks. So who would you say needs

535
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: a bigger year in twenty that Brian was leaving there

536
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: for a minute now, we might have forgotten the white boards,

537
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: but we have them. Brian, for I was just improvising.

538
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: I'll say calebon Um. I think the Jaguars have dramatically

539
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: upgraded both wide receiver and at a pass rushing defensive end. Um.

540
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: But I just get the sense that you know, when

541
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: you bring in Travon Walker to go with Josh Allen,

542
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: if you want to spot here, you need to prove

543
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: it and and should. Alt is a guy who could

544
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: do a bunch of different things. We saw him returning

545
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: punts I think one day during O t S. I

546
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: just don't know that the pressures on him like it

547
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: is on to get after the quarterback. So I'll say Chas, Yeah,

548
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: I'll go with visca Um, I guess because he went

549
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: with Caleb And I don't know that either of them

550
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: needs it bigger than the other. I think they both

551
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: need big seasons. They both need to show what they're

552
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: going to be in the NFL, and I think this

553
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: is the third year for both of them. I think

554
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: this is an important year for both of them, uh

555
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: to be in the league long term. I mean, Chason

556
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: has talent, he has not had an impact here and

557
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: hasn't really shown that he's a big time NFL player yet.

558
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: I think the same is probably true of Visca. He's

559
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: had some moments. What is he going to be in

560
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: the NFL? So I'll go with Viscar for the sake

561
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: of argument. Um, I think they both need years. I

562
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: think they both need to prove they're gonna be a

563
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: long term NFL players, and I hope they are. I

564
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: like both of them a lot. They're two of the

565
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: most pleasant it's I've dealt with in a long long time.

566
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: I hope it works out for him, But they need

567
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: years where they show their NFL players. They do, and

568
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: I think especially for Leviscashnal, he is the person who

569
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: realizes that the most he has been here every single day.

570
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: He was there yesterday when he didn't have to be.

571
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: You just you sense the sense of hungry nous with him,

572
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: and I think he very much so realizes the ridicule

573
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: of him and I think, um, he definitely is putting

574
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: the work in to get where he wants to be. Yeah,

575
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to is a problem for

576
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: you these Yes, I think it's it's a tough league

577
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: and they it's important yearsful. Yes, it is all right

578
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: AshEL Nas number two, This of course is based on

579
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: the offensive package you run and will change week to week,

580
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: but with four options right now at running back, let's

581
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: go to week six. We are week six and it's

582
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: pregame who is the starting running back mid season? John? Um,

583
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: I'll go to Jay rob I mean, James Robinson is

584
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: the proven running back on this team. I think if

585
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: if he's health the uh and if he's who he's

586
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: been when he's been at his best his first two years, UH,

587
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: he's the starting running back. And then if that scenario happens.

588
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: And I think E. T. N is your jack of

589
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: all trades and it is playing like a twelve or

590
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: thirteenth starter. But I think he's in the LINEUPO yep,

591
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: curve on well. And here's why, Um, I we haven't

592
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: seen Robinson yet. The Achilles is a serious injury. Um.

593
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: What has he had six months to recover? I don't.

594
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that we'll see much of him, uh

595
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: until maybe we get into the later part of the season. Um.

596
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: Then I think Etna is still Obviously, I think he's

597
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: a weapon. I don't know that you're gonna line him

598
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: up in the backfield and run him like a running

599
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: back every play. Um. Connor's a big, strong, strapping, young

600
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: legs kind of guy, and you might see him in

601
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: the line up doing more than you would have expected.

602
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: I could have gone with Rock Armstead too, because carried

603
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: the ball out out there and he's a veteran a

604
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: guy you could have. Um, I just think there's we've

605
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: said it all spring long, So why change the injury

606
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: that etn suffered in the injury that James Robinson suffered,

607
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: or injuries that can be career ending for running backs

608
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: and both of them have to get over it. So

609
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: I'll go with the young legs and say Connor in

610
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: which is the healthy one? Makes sense? All right? ASHAs

611
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: number three our final one? Looking at this defense? Who

612
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: is the starting safety? Week one? Now you're free safety,

613
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: strong safety? Obviously? UM four options ray Sean Jenkins, Andre Cisco,

614
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Wingard and Danielle Thomas. Who are we thinking is

615
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup as of right now? Weak one?

616
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: I'll go with and uh god, ray Sean Jenkins. I mean,

617
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: I think if if they're healthy, that's your combination. That's

618
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: who they wanted to be. Uh. They I think are

619
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: the most the most talented of the four. And Summer

620
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: to go with those two, well, they've they've they've sung

621
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: the praises of Cisco, and I didn't have another paper towel,

622
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to use that. Um, they've anybody

623
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: you've asked about Cisco. They've talked about his intellect. Um,

624
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: they've talked about his athleticism. So I think he's one

625
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: of them. And I would agree Rat Shawn is a

626
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: guy They've paid a lot of money to us. He's

627
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: got all the measurables you'd won. But I'm a fan

628
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: of Daniel Thomas and I have been since, you know,

629
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: the moment that he got into the lineup in Houston

630
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Um, I think he is

631
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: a terrific player. I think he's overlooked in many respects. Um,

632
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: he had the broken arm. He remember he had that

633
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: interception against the Steelers and then broke his arm, um,

634
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: and we didn't see him again his rookie season last

635
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: year was last year, which was a disaster in so

636
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: many respects. I have a sense that he's going to

637
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: work his way into a position where people can be

638
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: talking about him when the season begins. What about do

639
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: we your guy? John? No? I mean I think he

640
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: will be uh a value special teams guy and a

641
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: guy who's got experience in the starting line if he

642
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: has to play because of injury. I you know he

643
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: has proven that uh, that slot and that thinking about

644
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: him wrong before he sounds hard. He's the last year

645
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: so uh is it absurd to think he might start? No?

646
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: He he started last week. Nobody thought he would. But

647
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: if he does started to failure for Cisco, isn't what

648
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be then, right? I mean, that's are

649
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: the guys that you know I'm going with chalk here.

650
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: These are the guys ever expects to start. I think

651
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: they will start. And there you have it. That is

652
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: ashlan As when we come back, some closing thoughts you

Speaker 1: break here on our Jaguars Digital Network of no shows.

662
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: That's because the football teams on the field and we

663
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't really have much to talk about except our personal lives,

664
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 1: which I don't think anyone else. No, no, but John,

665
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: you have a big ozone podcast guess before we take

666
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: our summer break. Yeah, I do. The plan now is

667
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker Sparkles. Did you call him? I will be

668
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: on on the show this week? So uh, I'm hoping

669
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: that comes to being um and I think it'll be interesting.

670
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: I've I've talked to him on zoom or on in

671
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: in press common situation, having a chance to get to

672
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: know him. He seems like a kid. My impression of

673
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: him is maybe not his outgoing, doesn't love the media,

674
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: but very engaging and I'm looking forward to getting to know. Yeah,

675
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: maybe in a podcast, since when you don't have around

676
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: doing a camera shoved in your face might be a

677
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: little more comfortable for you. I think it'll be fun. Yeah,

678
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: Brian summer plans, oh, chasing kids, foot bowl camps all

679
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: over the southeast, that kind of stuff. Um, you'll retreat

680
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: the mountains, get out of it a little bit, stuff

681
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: that we normally do. Also spending some time with some

682
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: alarm some of the Jags alumni. UM and I had

683
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: a nice conversation with Montell Owens, who people might remember

684
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: as a three time Pro bowler, a guy who showed

685
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: up as an undrafted rookie running back and became maybe

686
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: the best special teams player this franchise has ever had.

687
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: It's nice to see him back in Jacksonville, growing family,

688
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: UH member, the community, and UM Jacks fans can expect

689
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: to see and hear from him and a lot of

690
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: other guys that they may have um misplaced in their

691
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: mind or in the last couple of years. When we

692
