What options could they have 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.640 for the general manager position. We'll hear Bucky's take on that. 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.040 It's on the Minnesota where the Vikings need the game, 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.800 certainly to stay in the wild card race in the NFC. 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.120 The Jaguars are trying to snap a ten game losing 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:07.959 skid and I'll have to do it on the road. 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.520 We'll have a preview of that game coming up. The 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.160 uniform unveiling about four thirty. Jimmy Luck, the head equipment manager, 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.200 will join us to show off with the Jags will 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:20.000 wear at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday, and 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.600 we'll play big game Jaguar. We'll pick a Jaguar to 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:28.680 have a big game this Sunday, Bucky Brooks shadows, you're 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.440 joining us now. The Steelers lead the Ravens six nothing. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.200 Roethlisberger through a red zone interception and then Robert Griffin 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.399 the third threw it right back to them. They returned 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.119 it for a touchdown and it's the extra point six 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.760 nothing and it's Wednesday afternoon football. Bucky, you're excited. It 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.080 looks like yeah. Look it's it's like the s C 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.240 Double A tournament. It's one of those things that you 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.960 look up, you go to refrigerator. Oh, a game is on. Man, 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.400 I think I'll sit down and grab some chips and 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.640 watch this. It doesn't get much better than this JP 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.720 on a Wednesday on ump Day, we got more. I'm 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:03.200 liking football every I'm a big fan, right right. I 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.200 get the sense that you are yes with your excitement there, John, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.800 Are you as excited as Bucky? It doesn't look like it. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:18.920 I'm ecstatic. I just want to know, Bucky, can you 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.360 concentrate here for forty five minutes before you go gaga 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.000 and your kids, I need you for forty five minutes. 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.680 I need to scout do I'm locked in. I'm locked 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.640 in and focus. I have the TV turned down only 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.560 doing commercial breaks. Man, I glanced up and see what's 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.280 going on, but I'm locked in right here. Alright, We're 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.200 locked in. We're ready to go as Jaguars Happy Hour. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.760 Bucky has his chips at the ready and we're ready 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.200 to talk about some ball. Let's get right into the 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.560 Jaguars though, obviously the biggest news story of the week 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.360 was the firing of Dave Caldwell Sunday evening about five 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.840 thirty or so after the Jaguars lost to the Browns. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.480 And now the next step, what's going to happen after 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.919 the season. The attractiveness of the job is pretty high. 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:09.200 And got a patient owner. You've got big salary cap, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.160 barroom next year, You've got two first round draft picks, 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.760 a load of picks in the entire draft next year, Bucky, 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.920 the Auto compare pretty well to some other openings around 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.640 the NFL. It absolutely will compare will to some of 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.880 the other openings because, as we've talked about and we've discussed, 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.480 this is a great situation and the opportunity for you 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.040 to put in a program and to have enough time 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.600 to really see it from beginning to end. Patient owner 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.360 Shot Kun has shown and demonstrated the patients that he 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.000 exhibited with Dave Colwill. You didn't think about the amount 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.040 of money that he's willing to spend the salary cap. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.680 Situation is terrific. You have multiple draft picks and multiple 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.760 rounds of this draft, including two first rounders, and then 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.920 you have an opportunity to really put your infant on 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:00.000 a franchise that is desperately looking for a winner. Um. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.760 I think there are a lot of good things about 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.800 this situation. Oh, by the way, the location, You're right 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.400 in the middle of sec country where the hot bed 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.720 of prospects are. I think this is exactly what you want. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.720 If you're g im looking for a gig. What are 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.240 you looking for here? John m as as shod con 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.680 play Shot Khan for a moment. What do you want 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:28.279 to get accomplished? You know? And I've got this question 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.719 a lot as being a little sarcastic, but everybody asked 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.840 me what else should they go young? Like Dave was, 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:39.320 did they go with experience? Yea, I hope and I'm 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.200 sure he will. I don't think Shoan is gonna look 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.000 for a blueprint. I don't think he's gonna say, hey, 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.040 I want a young guy, I want a veteran guy. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.240 I think he's gonna try to find the bet and 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.680 listen for what he wants to hear from them, not 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.120 what he wants to here in terms of, hey, you 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.880 have a great team, but the kind of thing he 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.400 wants from it. I don't really know who the best 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.520 guy is gonna be, but I do know something interesting 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.440 about this job that Bucky touched on. Usually when GM 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.080 jobs come open, they're a year out from being a 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.640 good job because the last GM has burnt everything trying 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.159 to get a team on the field. Meaning you don't 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.960 have draft picked because you've traded them all away trying 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.720 to be good. You haven't set up the salary cap 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.520 because you've spent because you're trying to save your job. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.680 Credit to Dave Cauldwell, I know people don't like hearing this, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.400 but he cleaned things up last year to a staggering 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.120 degree for a guy who knew that he had to 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.520 win this year to do it. So it's a it's 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.719 a unique situation for a GM. I don't care who 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.680 gets it as long as you pick the right quarterback. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.320 That's when it comes down to Bucky. It starts there quarterback, 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.440 and then everything else around the quarterback. Yeah, I mean 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.880 the quarterback certainly plays a big part and and changing 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.600 and reversing the fortunes of the franchise. And then it's 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.560 about making sure that when you're looking at the quarterback 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.640 and I put him in a situation that's the right 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.560 environment for him when it comes to the coaching staff 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.599 and the players around him, you know that this is 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.560 It's interesting, John, because you talked about hiring a good GM, 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.560 and I do often wonder for owners do they know 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.760 exactly what they're looking for when it comes to who 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.800 is a good GM, because a lot of the stuff 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.840 is is really unknown. When you're talking about the new 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.840 young hire, are they ready to really handle all the responsibilities. 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.800 Do you have enough time for them to grow into 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.320 the job. Do you want someone who has experience, who 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.920 may have faltered at a previous spot but learned from 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.240 those failures and he is able to really implement his 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.960 plan and get it into place and make decisions based 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.200 off experience and wisdom. It's a very very difficult deal 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.480 for owners because it is a different process than maybe 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.280 they use in their business. Is I just wonder how 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.560 Shot can and all of his colleagues will kind of 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.000 figure it out and determine this is the best guy 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.520 to implement a program that will get us back to 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:15.720 where we want to be. J And I know you 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:20.360 gotta ask me a question. I think it's brutally difficult. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.560 And I think that's why so many franchises sort of, 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.080 if not flounder, but aren't sure how to do it 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.560 because you don't know. As Bucky said, it's a different process, 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.400 and it's not like another owner. It's not like the 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.240 owner of the chief is picking up the phone and 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.560 telling Shot, hey, these guys are good. You know, it's competitive. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.480 Nobody wants the rest of the NFL doesn't want Shot 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.480 to hire the right guy, so it's it's really difficult. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.240 The second thing is GM is not a very often 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.440 recycled position. It happens, but it's not like head coaches 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:01.640 where guys get two or three chances. Young gms who 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.120 don't make it often spend the rest of their career 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.200 is director of play personnel or special consultant or things 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:13.560 like that. So it's it's a brutally hard job and 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.280 it's certainly not as easy as fans think it is. Hey, 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.920 just pick the right guy. GM is crucial, and it's 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.680 it's incredibly difficult to find the right guy, but it's 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:29.680 incredibly important, all right. You can go a few different routes, 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:34.000 obviously to to get the right guy, depending on the organization. 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.560 You can go face with the franchise type like in 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.640 Denver with with the L way right you go TV 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.160 or former scout route. You know, we've we've seen that 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.600 happen before in Oakland recently. You can have somebody Buck 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.559 Bucky Brooks could be one of those um somebody who's 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.440 done it before. And as you said, John, it's rare 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.360 to have a GM get a second gig somewhere, but 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.520 it is a possibility. And Bucky. You could go someone 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.079 from a successful program, somebody in the system in Kansas 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.240 City or in Baltimore. Which would you prefer Bucky if 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.600 you were making anything JP. This is tough, but here 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.360 here's here's what I say, and here's what I think 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.880 is really really important. If I had two or three 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.800 minutes to talk to Shotgun, what I would do is 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.839 this when you're looking to hire someone to take over Jacksonville, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.360 look at someone that's coming from an organization that has 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.880 had to deal with similar circumstances and challenges. Small market, 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.920 not necessarily a major market where you have all of 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.000 the resources, you're having to attract people to come here. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.920 It has to be more of a homegrown model. Examples 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.880 would be Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Buffalo because those are unique circumstances. 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.920 So I think it's really important to understand what you're 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.720 offering and selling and where you are in terms of 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.560 the landscape. I think the big thing when when I 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.960 think about the general manager, general manager has to have 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.360 a clear vision for how to win games and how 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.400 to make a team competitively competitive year after year after year. 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.400 As fans, we want the team to be in the 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.840 super Bowl every year. But I think a realistic thing 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.000 is can I get a team that consistently wins ten 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.839 plus games a year? Because ten plus games a year 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.240 will put us in the tournament and give us a shot. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.360 Then it's about what is the model that we want 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.960 to use. Are we a homegrown model? Are we gonna 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.000 draft and develop resign our players and those guys are 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.360 going to be our core are we going to spend 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.120 money and try and acquire free agents? All of that 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.679 stuff matters when I look at it. Jpu said, they 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.000 come in a couple of different things. You have the 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.680 retra has guys who've been experienced. You have the young 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.320 upcoming guys, and then you have guys that are coming 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:44.160 from TV. The retray as I think offer some interesting names. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.320 John Dorsey from Cleveland in Kansas City. We've seen what 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.400 he's done. His personality is a little unique and you 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.160 have to be comfortable with that, but a great evaluator. 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.800 Thomas dematrof Atlanta. There may be some pause to do 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.040 that because Dave carl Will came from that. You may 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.080 want to do something different. I think Rick Smith could 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.880 be an interesting candidate, not only because he's been a 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.160 GM before, but he's been in that division. He understand 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.120 the teams in that division. And then I think I'll 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.800 throw another name out Scott Pioli. He did it once 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.320 in Kansas City. It didn't go well. I think he's 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.120 learned a lot and that could be the challenge the 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:21.800 young guys that canna be a bunch of young guys. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.600 I'll throw him out there quickly. Joe Shane from Buffalo, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.280 assistant general manager, small market. We worked together in Carolina. 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.200 He's seen it done a few different ways. Ryan Cowden, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.000 who's also in Tennessee, young guy Joe Shane and him 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.280 work together. That name would be floated out. Brandon Hunt 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:41.280 is a young play a young developed U director for 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.559 the Pittsburgh Steellers small market. And so those guys are intriguing. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.559 And then in TV is Lewis Riddick, Danna Jeremiah. Are 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.840 those guys ready to handle all of the responsibilities we 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.320 hear their opinions or are they ready for the job? 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.559 You left your name out Bucky can't can't do a 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.880 little promotion, can do a little sulf promotion is I 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.920 think this is he taking like who disclosed it. I 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.360 think this is a great job, and I think it's 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.760 a great opportunity for a general manager to come in 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.079 and really have a lot of success. I think it's 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.080 important that we understand for twenty five years things have 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.079 been done a certain way. Even though coach Coughlin left 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.640 and came back, all of the success, all of the building, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.439 all of the tradition kind of goes back to him. 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.840 This would be the first time that Jacksonville will kind 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.000 of move away from that and establish their own culture 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.000 and their own traditions. It would be interesting and unique 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.400 to see that because we haven't seen it in twenty 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.559 five years. For the Jacksonville franchise being up in existence, 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.920 no doubt that's a lot to come. Will that will 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.840 have an interesting week after the season. It sounds like 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.640 of of everything happening there and plenty of conversation in 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.040 the month ahead to be had on this topic. We'll 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.439 come back in a moment, though, and get into this 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:04.440 week's game. The Jaguars get the Minnesota Vikings this week 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.520 at US Banks Stadium in Minneapolis.

The Ravens have scored. There's a minute thirty 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.680 two left in the first quarter. Ravens are in the 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:51.640 end zone seven six, Baltimore leading Pittsburgh, and the final 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.680 moments of the first quarter pick six for the Steelers 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.840 and Edwards with a one yard touchdown. Run for the 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.160 Ravens with the extra point. The difference so far are 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.560 and we'll keep posted on that football game as we 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:07.080 move along. Let's get to the Jaguars game in week 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:11.880 thirteen coming up in Minneapolis. Mike Glennon will get another start, John, 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.120 We heard from him today, We heard from Doug Maron 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.440 earlier this morning as well. And you know, Maron wouldn't 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.400 commit to glenn and the rest of the year. He 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.080 wouldn't commit to any position the rest of the year, 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.760 week to week, day to day type of thing. That's 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.360 the way Maron explained it. And Glennon understands that he 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.560 has to go out and perform and and every week 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.360 give his team the best opportunity to win. And that's 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.840 why he's starting this week. At least according to Maron, 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.120 he gives the Jaguars the best chance to win. So 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.960 it's Glennon's gig for this week, John Well, And it 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.440 paused a little bit of, you know, yes, discussion among 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:57.080 fans and observers because Gardner Minshew's health and Doug specified 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.600 that when he talked about it, and still went with Glennon. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.080 And I think the reason is simple. If you listen 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.440 to some of what Jay Gruden talked about after the fact. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.919 J Gruden offensive coordinator, he mentioned and so it did 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.560 Doug this week, Glennon took some shot throws down field 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.399 a little more. The experience, they like, gets other guys 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.560 in good position. Yeah, I said anything about Jake Luton, 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.719 I thought that if Jake Lewton, if the wheels hadn't 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.639 come off, I think he was going to be the 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.520 starter going forward. I feel the same thing about Glennon. 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.840 If the wheels don't come off, he's a starter going forward. 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:35.439 I don't send any urgency or any real chance, I guess, 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.400 and then to go back to Minshew unless they're forced 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:39.760 to do it, because I just don't think there's a 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.800 reason to do it at this point. Yeah, it feels 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.720 like that ship might have sailed a little bit bucky. Yeah, 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.600 I think it has. And I think what they wanted 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:50.879 to do is they wanted to give order Mitch you 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.040 every opportunity to win the job and show that he 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.720 could be the guy. But I think it was clear 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.359 interference that he wasn't. I think there's some comfort with 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.560 Mike Lennon the experience. It's the management ability we always 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.360 kind of derived quarterbacks were being managers. But the management 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.760 piece is a big part of being successful, and I 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.119 think in that game there was a sense of calm 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.440 that we saw from the offense. He could get them 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.600 in and out of different place and even though he 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.520 may have some athletic limitations, I think his experience, his knowledge, 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.760 his wisdom added something to the offense. And I think 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.960 the offense operated at the much smoother fashion with the 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.760 veteran at quarterback. And and this was an offense without 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.000 Chark and Connoly available last week as well. I mean 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.560 they run the ball very well obviously with James Robinson, 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.880 but they didn't have two of their top contributors john 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.520 on offense last week. And we'll see. Uh. They were 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.400 back on the practice field a little bit today, which 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.359 is a good sign at least to get those guys 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:49.240 back and that could help matters on the offensive side. Yeah, 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:50.960 it's always good when you have DJ Tark in the 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.960 field for this team. And you know, I think Dj 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.680 would light playing with a guy like Glennan who has 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.560 the arm to get the ball downfield. You know, a 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:04.920 ball like Glennan through to Colin Johnson last week yard 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.320 or you know, it was a great play by Johnson's 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.640 also a big time passed by Glennon. I'm not saying 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.560 that's what his resume may is going to be going forward, 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:14.639 but he certainly gives you a chance to make some 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:20.480 plays downfield. I getting Shark back for this offense is 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.000 so big because whatever you say about James Robinson, and 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.760 he's been great, DJ Shark is as good as any 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.080 offensive player this team has. It's always important when he's 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:35.160 on the field. Now, we heard from James Robinson today 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.880 and we talked about him every week and rightly so. 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.119 He's a huge chunk of what the Jaguars do on 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:45.160 the offensive side. And he continued with another big game, 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.040 his biggest scrimmage yard day of the season last week 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.880 in fact, and we asked him today, you know, hey, 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:55.080 it's week thirteen, twelve games in. This is the equivalent 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.199 of a college season for him. And I think Bucky 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:01.719 to see the next month how he handles five extra 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.800 games on his calendar and getting ready to go every 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.480 week and being the bell cow. He's the guy they 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.680 haven't been really anybody else in the backfield there. How 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.080 he handles that down the stretch. I think we'll we'll 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.520 tell you a lot about his preparation week to week. Bucky, Yeah, 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.600 I think there's a lot to be learned over the 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:20.960 next few weeks about James Robinson. I think he is 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:24.520 already impressed. I think he's already shown that he can 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:28.080 be a long term solution at the position. But you 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.800 want to see how he finishes because this will determine 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.879 is he good or is he really a great player? 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.760 Does he have the stuff to really be a guy 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.639 that we talk about as an elite player Because we 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:43.359 have seen some undrafted guys in the past have moments. 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.320 We've seen Philip Lindsay go to a Pro Bowl and 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.520 have a moment. We've seen Austin Ekeler have moments. What 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.040 we're trying to determine is ken James Robinson have an 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:57.240 epic career coming from the undrafted free agent status to 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.560 really being a guy that we respect as a big 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:03.800 time here. And so as he continues to carve out 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.680 and chew up these yards, the more comfortable we will 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.200 be in really saying, hey, Jacksonville already has the number 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:12.800 one running back in place. They need to go elsewhere 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.000 when it comes to filling out the knees on their roster. 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.600 As they look to the draft and free agency and 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:22.000 some other vehicles for player acquisition. Well, John James said 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.080 today that they didn't even have a hot tub at 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.600 Illinois State, so having all the things that his disposed 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.760 to keep his body ready to go is a little 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.080 different here in the NFL, and he's using it wisely 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:36.119 so far. I don't have one here either, JP, and 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:39.320 join the club now. Everybody gets a hot tub in 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.880 their lives, and I know Bucky's lounging and one out 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:47.680 there watching the Steelers. I think, what's yes, that's impressed. 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.640 Getting back to what Bucky said, I would be done 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.760 at this point if James Robinson falls off in the 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:59.520 last five games. His approach, he's so levelheaded. He seems 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.080 to take the aim approached every week. Nothing overwhelms him. 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.480 And I keep hearing the Emmett Smith comparison with him. 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.840 I keep talking about it. He reminds me of Emmett 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.160 in that way. He doesn't take a lot of hit. 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:16.920 He doesn't take a lot of direct hits. I don't 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:18.760 know that he would tell you that he's had a 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:20.800 great deal of wear and tear on his body. Yet 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:24.720 he wouldn't tell you because backs don't, but I doubt 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.200
