Speaker 1: now America's raining Animal Crossing Champion Jay Peace. I have
Speaker 1: no idea what that means, but welcome into Jaguars Happy
Speaker 1: Hours Thursday May twenty one. J P. Shaddick from the
Speaker 1: Palatial Home Studio Side Sports Extra Room. Yet again, we're
Speaker 1: two months in and it could be a little longer

Speaker 1: show ahead today. Jaguars analyst Jeff Lockman coming up shortly.
Speaker 1: Senior writer John Osier will break down his podcast this
Speaker 1: week featuring Paul pas Leslie a little bit more, and
Speaker 1: we'll hear from CBS Sports play by play announcer i

Speaker 1: announcer for the NBA on T n T. He is
Speaker 1: also an announcer for the Brooklyn Nets on television, so
Speaker 1: he has a multi faceted approach to what's going on
Speaker 1: right now, NBA, NFL, Radio, TV. All the rest will
Speaker 1: here from Iron coming up. So a good show coming
Speaker 1: up today. Glad you have chosen to join us on
Speaker 1: Tinton a m in Jacksonville and on the Jaguars social
Speaker 1: media channels. The podcast archive coming up a little bit
Speaker 1: later as well. Let's go to the phone line and
Speaker 1: welcome in our co host, Jaguars analyst Jeff Loghuman. Good afternoon,
Speaker 1: Jeff KP. It's like Iron the Eagle, inc. That'd be
Speaker 1: the best way to call him, right, pretty much, He's everywhere.
Speaker 1: That's the way it's supposed to be, right. I build
Speaker 1: the brand, and the brand keeps building, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's uh, he's a good guy too, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we we get to come across a lot
Speaker 1: of guys in the business that are broadcast stirs, are
Speaker 1: in the sporting industry, and and uh, he's put of
Speaker 1: my favorite guys down earth. Works hard and has earned
Speaker 1: everything that he's gotten and and deservedly. So he's a
Speaker 1: very talented guy. Well here from my ant coming up obviously,
Speaker 1: but I was looking through his bio and stuff the
Speaker 1: last couple of days, and um, I've done it for
Speaker 1: a while obviously, but I didn't realize he's been doing
Speaker 1: NFL game since that's a long time. When I was playing,
Speaker 1: I mean when he you know, he was in New
Speaker 1: York when I was up there, and so I mean
Speaker 1: me and him crossed pass Gosh years ago. And uh
Speaker 1: and then obviously, uh he made his name in the
Speaker 1: NFL is kind of where he got started in New
Speaker 1: York is kind of where he really cut his teeth.
Speaker 1: And uh. But good dude, you know, you root for
Speaker 1: guys like that, and uh, he's gonna be around for
Speaker 1: many years to come, you know. I mean, at some
Speaker 1: point somebody's got to replace the Jim Nance and the
Speaker 1: and the al Michael's, right, I mean, and he's positioning
Speaker 1: himself to be that guy. He's knocking on the door
Speaker 1: for sure. Lot going on logs, Let's uh, let's talk
Speaker 1: a little ball. You know, I don't even know if
Speaker 1: it's really talking ball right now. There's not a lot
Speaker 1: of ball to be talked about these days, obviously with
Speaker 1: the everything going virtual. But um, yeah, I guess the
Speaker 1: next big thing for the organization is Phase one opening
Speaker 1: of the facility that's coming up. They could start it,
Speaker 1: you know, last it could have started this week, but
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have waited until May six to start Phase
Speaker 1: one opening. It's very limited, no coaches, no players unless
Speaker 1: they're already undergoing rehabilitation in the training room. That's those
Speaker 1: guys have been there already, but no extra football coaches
Speaker 1: or players are allowed. I think the limits seventy five people.
Speaker 1: And it's going to be timed in, timed out, checked in, temperature,
Speaker 1: in and out, one way, signs in the hallway a lot.
Speaker 1: It doesn't affect us me and you logs. Will you
Speaker 1: sitting at home doing the show next week? But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't get to go in anyway. At least it's
Speaker 1: moving forward in some direction, which is good. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: like phase twenty, you know, as far as like on
Speaker 1: the pecking scale of of importance to the actual football
Speaker 1: game being played. So so we've got a ways to wait.
Speaker 1: But but I get it. I mean, look, you're trying
Speaker 1: to go back to work. You're trying to find a
Speaker 1: way to make it work. This is unknown territory for
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and so you're trying to minimize
Speaker 1: the risk. I'm sure that you're gonna have a checkpoint
Speaker 1: even for the people that are are allowed to go
Speaker 1: in at phase one, where you walk up up to
Speaker 1: the door and they have those thermometers that they can
Speaker 1: stick into your ear and take your your core body
Speaker 1: temperature immediately without sitting there with you know, having to
Speaker 1: uh run the risk of somebody shedding on somebody else
Speaker 1: by sticking a thermometer in their mouth. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: all kinds of technology that's going to allow them to
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, to know for sure what's
Speaker 1: bringing into or what's coming into the building, but at
Speaker 1: least you know, give yourself a fighting chance at that
Speaker 1: having somewhat of a little bit of control over it.
Speaker 1: So will this be a laser on the forehead? They
Speaker 1: got those? Now, they just pointed like they've got everything,
Speaker 1: and at some point they're going to have to find
Speaker 1: a way to to get testing more readily available and
Speaker 1: quicker and to where you can you can do a
Speaker 1: test and almost immediately find out what the answer is.
Speaker 1: So I mean, until there's a vaccine, I mean, I
Speaker 1: just I think there's got to be something like that
Speaker 1: to where you've got I don't say instant gratification, but
Speaker 1: but instant information to allow things to be able to continue.
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a different world and that uh,
Speaker 1: you know, JP and I can actually foresee a lot
Speaker 1: of people watching the games obviously from the comfort of
Speaker 1: their home. I also see the team traveling with a
Speaker 1: very limited, um enclave of people, and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a very tight circle. And there's a lot of I
Speaker 1: don't want to say ancillary personnel, but support personnel that
Speaker 1: aren't gonna be going just because why would you risk
Speaker 1: having additional people around your football team when you're trying
Speaker 1: to play games. So I see us calling games from
Speaker 1: TV maybe, UM, I see the the equipment room staff,
Speaker 1: you know, for example, equipment guys. I mean that's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be limited to a certain extent. Trainers, you know, obviously,
Speaker 1: they are very important, so you're not gonna limit that
Speaker 1: to put your players at risk or anything of that nature.
Speaker 1: But you know, the sponsorship, you know, I don't see
Speaker 1: sponsorship having a role in traveling with a football team
Speaker 1: for a while, you know. So, uh, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: different and uh, and that's just gonna have to be
Speaker 1: that way for some period of time and to be
Speaker 1: able to get the games off without any hitch. The Falcons,
Speaker 1: I believe, are one of the first wave teams this
Speaker 1: week to open. The Cowboys, Steelers, Texans, Colts. A few
Speaker 1: other teams partially open this week, but the Falcons actually
Speaker 1: did um a video on their social media channels with
Speaker 1: Rich McKay giving a tour of the facility and how
Speaker 1: it's set up for the return to work, which was
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. It showed all the protocol they go
Speaker 1: through to go in. It's something interesting to see how
Speaker 1: it works. So if you're interested in that, take a
Speaker 1: look on the Falcons social media pages. Now, the next
Speaker 1: trick here Logs is how if you know there are
Speaker 1: no fans this season, which is a possibility. If there
Speaker 1: are no fans, how does that affect the economics of
Speaker 1: the league. And there was a great article in Forbes
Speaker 1: on on the Forbes social media page at least this week.
Speaker 1: I didn't read the hard copy this week. Um. Mike
Speaker 1: cosani and was the author of this article, and he
Speaker 1: said the NFL would lose five point five billion dollars
Speaker 1: of stadium revenue. That's take its concession sponsors, parking, team stores. Um.
Speaker 1: If they don't have fans this year, it's thirty eight
Speaker 1: percent percent of total revenue. And the team that would
Speaker 1: lose the most would be the Dallas Cowboys six one
Speaker 1: million dollars lost out of nearly a billion dollars in
Speaker 1: revenue through the stadium. That's a's a lot of money.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars, by the way, we're on his list. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys. For reason that they would lose
Speaker 1: the most money is that they owned the stadium, you know,
Speaker 1: so they've got the most revenant keep. They're not paying
Speaker 1: a lease or or you know, they're not splitting the
Speaker 1: money with a tenant. Don't there being the tenant. Don't
Speaker 1: the side note? Don't they own their own merchandising too.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're in the merchandising pool for the NFL.
Speaker 1: I think they have their own now they're they're in
Speaker 1: the merchandising pool with the NFL. But Jerry Jones was
Speaker 1: the one who really went u kind of I guess
Speaker 1: you could say was a maverick in some ways because
Speaker 1: he started cutting his own deal away from the NFL.
Speaker 1: In the NFL first was very resistant to it, but
Speaker 1: then they realized, hey, we can have league sponsorship, and
Speaker 1: then the teams can still have their sponsorship, and then
Speaker 1: everybody's still gonna make a lot more money, you know.
Speaker 1: So the Jerry Jones was the one who kind of,
Speaker 1: I guess you could say, pissed a lot of people off,
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, around the league because
Speaker 1: he had his stadium and he was able to sell
Speaker 1: rights to the stadium even though he owned the stadium
Speaker 1: the league, and he was just some of his nose
Speaker 1: the league saying, look, I can do whatever I want
Speaker 1: with my stadium. You know, I own my own stadium,
Speaker 1: and it's it's that's not that's not Dallas Cowboys, Inc.
Speaker 1: That's Texas Stadium, ink. So I can do whatever I
Speaker 1: want there. So so he has a lot of money
Speaker 1: to blue, certainly with the Dallas Cowboys and the Jaguars
Speaker 1: got a pretty good deal with the city of Jacksonville
Speaker 1: for their stadium, you know. But you always make more
Speaker 1: money when you own the grounds that you're in when
Speaker 1: you're the landlord and the tenant, that's a lot of
Speaker 1: money you can make. So that's that's Jerry Jones and
Speaker 1: and he's done a really good job with his stadium.
Speaker 1: Because when you go to a Cowboys game, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is not just a football game. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is is ah I don't want to say a Disneyland experience,
Speaker 1: but it's it's certainly more than a football game. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's a tremendous facility, and it's a tremendous venue
Speaker 1: to see any kind of event at. I've still never
Speaker 1: been believe it or not, you know. And here here's
Speaker 1: the thing, JP. I mean, the owners in the National
Speaker 1: Football League have a pretty good deal. When I say
Speaker 1: a pretty good deal, and that what other what other profession,
Speaker 1: what other business do you have the ability of having
Speaker 1: essentially a fixed set of costs to operate your business
Speaker 1: and your guarantee a certain amount or a percentage of
Speaker 1: revenue to keep for yourself, you know. So, and what
Speaker 1: I mean by that is that you know, the the
Speaker 1: union and the owners have an agreement to where the
Speaker 1: players get a percentage of revenue. And so if revenue
Speaker 1: goes down, then the future player share goes down. And
Speaker 1: it's a percentage directly related to overall revenue. So even
Speaker 1: though it's it's a terrible thing that the owners are
Speaker 1: not going to make as much money, and it's as
Speaker 1: bad for business to not make as much money, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's still better than a lot of other businesses out there. That. Look,
Speaker 1: the owners got a way of of knowing. Look in
Speaker 1: the future, Uh, if our expenses go up or if
Speaker 1: our revenue goes down, then uh, you know, we have
Speaker 1: a way to all set those costs because we're going
Speaker 1: to have a less percentage, or not a less percentage,
Speaker 1: but a smaller amount to share with the players. So
Speaker 1: it's a it's a unique business, and it's a it's
Speaker 1: a successful business business. Mom mean, that's why over the
Speaker 1: last number of years you saw how the value of
Speaker 1: franchise have risen so dramatically. And I'm not saying it's
Speaker 1: because of the players agreement or the collective bargaining agreement,
Speaker 1: but may it's certainly nice to be able to go
Speaker 1: into a business and saying I know how much money
Speaker 1: that I have to pay my labor force and what
Speaker 1: my costs are because that is your labor force and
Speaker 1: football as well as you know other things that facilities
Speaker 1: and equipment and all those things. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I know what percentage is going there,
Speaker 1: and therefore I know what percentage is left for me
Speaker 1: to do what I need to do and also to
Speaker 1: take profit. Pretty good deal. Jeff Lockman with US Jaguars Analysts, Um,
Speaker 1: you know part of that to the revenue and the
Speaker 1: all the percentages can move and change. So there's the
Speaker 1: talk now of this week listening to other shows and
Speaker 1: some of the writing online that could they trim the
Speaker 1: salary cap in future years after the revenues? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that's I mean, that's a given. I mean, and
Speaker 1: how does that How does that change the face of
Speaker 1: teams in the league. Is you going to start trimming
Speaker 1: away player? Isn't your salary if you're way over? I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's an interesting deal. I mean, that's that's that's
Speaker 1: the reality. I mean, could the league say, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: let's graduate this thing to where it's not going to
Speaker 1: be so painful to where we have to just release
Speaker 1: have a mass cutting by every team in the league.
Speaker 1: But the reality is, if that's your salary cap, that's
Speaker 1: your salary cap based on what the the designated gross
Speaker 1: revenue or the designated revenue is. So um, that's just
Speaker 1: I mean, they look in the league, in the in
Speaker 1: the Union, never anticipated anything like that. But if that's
Speaker 1: what the number are, then that's what the numbers are.
Speaker 1: And that's that's the beauty of of the collective bargaining.
Speaker 1: Ging from an owner standpoint and me, if you're the
Speaker 1: owner and you're sitting there saying, hey, look we got
Speaker 1: an agreement and are overall, uh, pie that we have
Speaker 1: to spend on player pool has drops And because you
Speaker 1: and you agreed to this model and now we have
Speaker 1: to adjust the salary cap down to meet what the
Speaker 1: revenues were or what the expected revenues are. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's the way it is. And so that everybody's
Speaker 1: just got to adjust and and sometimes and at some
Speaker 1: point there's gonna be some hard pills to swallowing, tough
Speaker 1: decisions to make, and uh, at that point you gotta
Speaker 1: make them final. A couple of thoughts with you here, Logs,
Speaker 1: and I know you're a huge social media guy. We
Speaker 1: touched on that big little, big huge You're always on there.
Speaker 1: So I know you saw today Gardner Minshew throwing the
Speaker 1: football with his quarterback workout team whatever that he's working
Speaker 1: with these days. There was a video of him throwing
Speaker 1: some routes and running around and it looks like he's
Speaker 1: put on a little bit of muscle, which is good.
Speaker 1: And um, you know, obviously in the video he didn't
Speaker 1: throw anycompletion, so that's positive too. You know how that goes?
Speaker 1: How how bad is it to where we are now?
Speaker 1: Where we're talking about Gardner Minshew has a video to
Speaker 1: where he's working out and it's all the rage. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's where we are, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just where where the league is with the with
Speaker 1: the current pandemic that's going on in our world and
Speaker 1: people are starving for information, and I guess that's where
Speaker 1: it's hats and stuff like that. But yeah, no, good
Speaker 1: for him, and I hope that he's uh, And I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about him so much. I you know, you
Speaker 1: worry about certain guys around the league, but he's one
Speaker 1: of those guys. I liked this hard working, self motivated,
Speaker 1: committed and you don't worry about a guy like that.
Speaker 1: But there are some players that I can tell you
Speaker 1: in the league that I don't know a lot of
Speaker 1: the guys, well, I couldn't say any for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: I know, because I mean you've got to kind of
Speaker 1: be into that locker room in a pretty deep way
Speaker 1: to be able to understand it. But I mean, even
Speaker 1: when I was playing, there were guys that if they
Speaker 1: didn't have the structure of an O t A or
Speaker 1: an off season program and look at oh dude's gonna
Speaker 1: be doing nothing but sitting on the couch eating cheetos
Speaker 1: and and eating nice drink. It sounds like a pretty
Speaker 1: good off season actually like that. Yeah, I know, Jp,
Speaker 1: I know that's not the way to win a lot
Speaker 1: of ball games, though. When you got that. Hey, good stuff, Logs,
Speaker 1: good to talk to you. Always way to lead off
Speaker 1: the show this week, good job. Hey, it's nice. It's
Speaker 1: nice to get ahead and get some fresh some fresh

Speaker 1: Here on this program. John Osier is coming up on
Speaker 1: this program right now, senior writer Jaguars dot Com And
Speaker 1: good buddy, Hey John, what's up here here? You are
Speaker 1: welcome back. We are still here, and it sounds like
Speaker 1: we're gonna be here for a little bit longer. We're
Speaker 1: I know that this is gonna shock you. We are
Speaker 1: not as essential as we thought we were. Well, we're
Speaker 1: about I mean, like whatever that list is, Davy. Uh,
Speaker 1: I have a feeling we're way down. Like we may
Speaker 1: not be back. If it's about who's essential, we're in
Speaker 1: you know, you just put a period at the end
Speaker 1: of we may not be back. I mean, we might
Speaker 1: just be here. I'm kidding yet. We got we got
Speaker 1: a TV here, we got the radio equipment. You know,
Speaker 1: we can get some stuff done around here. At least
Speaker 1: we've been doing it so far, and we'll do it
Speaker 1: as long as we need to do it, for sure. So, John,
Speaker 1: you had another podcast this week, came out on Monday.
Speaker 1: It's called the Ozone Podcast. It's an original. You are
Speaker 1: really good and you had one of everybody's all time
Speaker 1: favorites Paul Paz lovesni this week. And I found it
Speaker 1: interesting that, you know, it's tough for any player to
Speaker 1: figure out what's next. You know, Um, Paul seems to
Speaker 1: is he's finding a different way of going about figuring
Speaker 1: out what he wants to do. He's in school, he's
Speaker 1: working at an air an Air Malona Air Charter. I believe, Um,
Speaker 1: he's doing a few different things to trying to figure
Speaker 1: out really what his next line of work is going
Speaker 1: to be. Nothing he really has to. But it's even
Speaker 1: for a guy like Paul, it's hard because he's he's
Speaker 1: really locked into doing these different things. But it seems
Speaker 1: like it can be difficult to figure out a path. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The first off, the plan with the podcasts, particularly during
Speaker 1: the off season, our plan is to have alumni players
Speaker 1: on relatively often. Were you want to catch up with
Speaker 1: guys and I thought Paul was maybe the most interesting
Speaker 1: to start off with, just for the reason that you
Speaker 1: site he uh. I had read a couple of things
Speaker 1: and talked to Paul. I think it was last summer,
Speaker 1: and I was always struck by how open and how
Speaker 1: he was really sort of trying to embrace the fact
Speaker 1: that it was going to be difficult. And he talked
Speaker 1: a little in the podcast, which said I'm sure JP
Speaker 1: you listened to, but he talked a little bit in
Speaker 1: it about he thought it was important to acknowledge that
Speaker 1: it was going to be hard, because in a sense,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't it be, you know, when you play at
Speaker 1: the level of the Paul, as he retired at thirty three,
Speaker 1: probably means he's been routine based in football for two decades.
Speaker 1: And as he said, when you play the way he does,
Speaker 1: an approach which most pros do if if they're playing
Speaker 1: long enough to retire and not get cut. It's all
Speaker 1: about your diet. You're you're obsessed with when you're working
Speaker 1: out on vacation, you're trying to figure out a place
Speaker 1: to go work out. It's always running through your mind.
Speaker 1: So to separate from that is very difficult, and it
Speaker 1: strikes me, from having talked to him last week, that
Speaker 1: he's doing it a really smart job of acknowledging it's
Speaker 1: going to be difficult, not ignoring that it going to
Speaker 1: be difficult, and eventually finding his way to what he
Speaker 1: wants to do, which, by the way, no surprise. And
Speaker 1: he didn't say this. I hope I'm not putting words
Speaker 1: in his mouth. I would be stunned if he's not
Speaker 1: coaching the next two or three years. We talked about
Speaker 1: it a little bit and he, uh, you know, he's
Speaker 1: he's working with t A bank now. He has worked
Speaker 1: as he's fascinated with air you know, with with airplanes
Speaker 1: and did that and I he talked at the end
Speaker 1: of the podcast about how he really thinks that at
Speaker 1: first you want to get away from football, but you
Speaker 1: can tell in his voice the poll is there. He said,
Speaker 1: it's not fair to his team gonna be a great
Speaker 1: player just because you, I mean a great coach, just
Speaker 1: because you played, but jp you were around him, You've
Speaker 1: been around coaches, players, etcetera. If anybody who was a
Speaker 1: very very very good player can go be a very
Speaker 1: very good coach, it's this guy. I would be surprised.
Speaker 1: I think he's head coach. Continued, that's that I think
Speaker 1: he'd be fantastic at it, and uh, I think he
Speaker 1: gets back into it, he will be a rock star
Speaker 1: as a coach. This is the stories of him around
Speaker 1: the building watching video and doing that kind of thing
Speaker 1: are pretty epic. Obviously, you know, on the regular week's
Speaker 1: worth of work, and then even after a football game,
Speaker 1: he would stay after a game and go back in
Speaker 1: the film room that afternoon that night and yeah, he's
Speaker 1: just played the game. And even beyond that, there's an
Speaker 1: element of you know, we're not like this JP. When
Speaker 1: people are around us, they don't aspire to be us.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't lead people, you and I. But
Speaker 1: great coaches and great leaders have an element that when
Speaker 1: you're around them, you think, you know, it would be
Speaker 1: good to follow this person belief. Well, certainly because Lesnie
Speaker 1: had that sort of an ATM. You know, he's got
Speaker 1: that element. You can see him standing in front of
Speaker 1: a room and players, you know, agree with him or not.
Speaker 1: He's the kind of person who can lead other people.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I know that he's not quite
Speaker 1: ready to make that jump and whatever he's committed to,
Speaker 1: whatever he's doing, he's gonna commit to it, but it
Speaker 1: feels to me like the poll is pulling him back.
Speaker 1: And I think once he does it, let of these
Speaker 1: coaches do that. A lot of the coaches who who
Speaker 1: played in the NFL, they take two or three years
Speaker 1: and then all right. When I was in Indy, my
Speaker 1: last couple of years in Indie, Frank Reich was a
Speaker 1: grad assistant and it's not grat asists in the NFL,
Speaker 1: but it's a quality control coat. I remember talking to
Speaker 1: him right before I left the Colt and thinking, this
Speaker 1: guy is it's gonna be honest way I couldn't predictly
Speaker 1: a head coach, but I don't like that he's been
Speaker 1: away from it for a while. Then the poll comes
Speaker 1: back and uh, you know, other guys trying to be
Speaker 1: really good coaches. I'd be surprised Positi. Isn't that Senior
Speaker 1: writer Jaguars dot Com John Osan joining us on Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour on this Thursday. Let's see the owners meetings
Speaker 1: are going on. So they had a meeting I think
Speaker 1: last week or late early this week, and then they're
Speaker 1: gonna have another one next week. The owners tabled the
Speaker 1: resolution to incentivize hiring of minority coaches and gms. That
Speaker 1: was kind of thrown out there as an idea. They
Speaker 1: tabled that idea, but later teams must now interview at
Speaker 1: least two external minority candidates for head coaching jobs and
Speaker 1: at least one for coordinator jobs, and John teams are
Speaker 1: now prevented from blocking assistant coaches from interviewing for coordinator positions.
Speaker 1: That's also for assistant GM positions as well, So some
Speaker 1: changes there that that second part is a general change
Speaker 1: for the whole league. The interview minor A candidates is
Speaker 1: as an extension of the ruining rule of sorts. So
Speaker 1: it's obvious that the league wanted to address this in
Speaker 1: some way this offseason, and at least so far they have. Well.
Speaker 1: And if you like this the idea that the league,
Speaker 1: I'm sure I tell you what to do, don't fall
Speaker 1: asleep on it. Acknowledge it, and continue to push and
Speaker 1: look for ideas. When you're looking for an idea on
Speaker 1: how to fix this kind of a problem, it's not
Speaker 1: going to be a consensus solution and it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be an overnight solution, unfortunately. I mean, so what the
Speaker 1: league is clearly trying to do is okay at first
Speaker 1: when the ruining rule came around, I forget when it was,
Speaker 1: but it was that mid two thousand. It feels like
Speaker 1: because I used to talk to Tony Dungee a lot
Speaker 1: about it when I was with the Colts and he
Speaker 1: was working there, because he was a big believer in it,
Speaker 1: the fact that if if you got names out there
Speaker 1: that otherwise would be out there. The hiring process is
Speaker 1: often guys get floated one year, you go interview someplace
Speaker 1: one year, the next year you're talked about all offseason
Speaker 1: as a candidate, and then your name gets into the
Speaker 1: coaching circle, and then a couple of years later you
Speaker 1: get hired because owners are now thinking about your name.
Speaker 1: So that's why he liked the Rooney roll, because it
Speaker 1: forced minority candidate to be interviewed, where at one time
Speaker 1: perhaps that wasn't happening. Well, that lost its momentum. So
Speaker 1: I haven't talked Tony about it, but I'm sure he
Speaker 1: would like the idea of the fact that now the
Speaker 1: the coordinator positions are going to be required to have
Speaker 1: a minority candidate interviews, And to me, that is a
Speaker 1: huge Now you're going to get more at that level,
Speaker 1: meaning at the coordinator level, you're going to get more
Speaker 1: minority coordinators. At those levels, it's hard to make the
Speaker 1: jump from assistant I mean wide receivers coach to head coach.
Speaker 1: You got to get the coordinator situation picks first. So uh,
Speaker 1: this feels like a step in the right direction. But
Speaker 1: it also feels like now that they have addressed this,
Speaker 1: uh and not addressing They've been addressing it, but it's
Speaker 1: become a huge issue this offseason. My senses, the pedal
Speaker 1: will remain on the gas and you'll have more and
Speaker 1: more ideas like this being discussed over the next couple
Speaker 1: of years in the next couple off season. Johnsy with
Speaker 1: US Jaguars dot Com seen writer. It also means now
Speaker 1: that you know, since they can't at block assistant they
Speaker 1: can't block assistant coaches from interviewing for coordinator positions anymore
Speaker 1: of them is you better have a pretty good depth
Speaker 1: chart of coaches on your roster to promote from within
Speaker 1: if somebody gets picked off. Yeah, and that's big for
Speaker 1: all coaches because there's a lot of There is a
Speaker 1: lot of blocking that goes on all the time, more
Speaker 1: than you hear about. I think well and sometimes more
Speaker 1: than the coaches that don't hear about Yeah. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: team of wild block gut and and I even know
Speaker 1: they got a call and uh so that's a major
Speaker 1: step forward for individuals. Uh. Again, it's the only thing.
Speaker 1: What's good for individual is not always great for the team.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are teams that won't love that You're
Speaker 1: you're losing good assistance. But as you said, JP, it
Speaker 1: puts the pressure on continue to develop, coaches, continue to
Speaker 1: churn it. I know teams will be very upset about this,
Speaker 1: you know me, JP, I think coaching on some levels
Speaker 1: sometimes gets way overblown and discussing the off season. So
Speaker 1: I think generally speaking, the good teams with the good
Speaker 1: coaches will be able to adapt to this and develop
Speaker 1: from within and have guys that they're ready to do
Speaker 1: the job. All right, John, you've got about an hour
Speaker 1: until Cassius Marsh. What do you want to hear from
Speaker 1: him today? Uh? You know, I think it'll be interesting
Speaker 1: just to see what he thinks of the Jags coming in. Uh,

Speaker 1: dad uh in ninety six. Curtis Marsh. I have fond
Speaker 1: memories of interviewing curtased even the dynamic kids. Uh, so
Speaker 1: maybe that'll come up. You know. He called him a
Speaker 1: kidbout that when I covered and needed a kid. He's now,
Speaker 1: but so was I. We're not kids anymore day. We're

Speaker 1: with Iron Eagle of CBS Sports, Westwood One Radio, Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: Nets Television, in the NBA, the NBA on tn T.
Speaker 1: He's all over the place college basketball and CBS NonStop
Speaker 1: for Iron Eagle, who's been covering NFL games since for
Speaker 1: CBS Sports. Uh. He also does the Jets prices and games.
Speaker 1: Just to throw the resumes long for Iron, but he's
Speaker 1: covered a number of games for the Jaguars over the
Speaker 1: recent seasons, especially even last year you had with the
Speaker 1: Week one game against Kansas City didn't go well, but
Speaker 1: that was the start of the Gardner Minshew era at
Speaker 1: that point. A couple other instances where he was around
Speaker 1: and involved with the Jaguars covering a game last year
Speaker 1: and in the seasons prior so he has not only
Speaker 1: this year, but in since covering the league sinc. Ninety eighties,
Speaker 1: got a pretty good run of the Jaguars history as well.
Speaker 1: It's always a good visit with Iron Eagle. The partial
Speaker 1: video visit available on Jaguars dot Com. Right now, here's
Speaker 1: the full visit here on Jaguars Happy Hours with CBS Sports,
Speaker 1: Westwood One and Brooklyn Nets TV. Play by player man
Speaker 1: I an Eagle. Good to see you, I And how
Speaker 1: things in New York? Yeah, great to see you as well. JP.
Speaker 1: We're doing well. Everything is running smoothly here, thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're starting to open up a little bit more
Speaker 1: here in Florida. Let's talk a little bit of ball though.
Speaker 1: Let's start though. I know you worked with Tony Boselli
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night football. I worked with Tony Boselli, you know,
Speaker 1: four days a week during the football season, so I
Speaker 1: know what you're going through. Uh, let's get this right
Speaker 1: on the table. Tony and I have set an NFL
Speaker 1: broadcast record for the largest disparity in broadcast partners in
Speaker 1: football history and broadcasting history. And somehow it works. Tony
Speaker 1: is a great guy. He's a tremendous partner, knows the game, prepared,
Speaker 1: sense of humor, easy to be around, certainly a good
Speaker 1: guy to have a pregame meal with, just to make
Speaker 1: you feel good about yourself after the fact that no
Speaker 1: I don't eat that much. Tony can pack it obviously
Speaker 1: more than anything else. Just happy that he's saved his family,
Speaker 1: say if, and feeling healthy and truly. I worked with
Speaker 1: a lot of different people, Tony has been one of
Speaker 1: the best guys that I've ever partnered with. Let's go
Speaker 1: back to the day things shut down. I know you
Speaker 1: do the NETS television games. It was college basketball conference
Speaker 1: tournament time as well. Where were you when the shutdowns started?
Speaker 1: What do you remember about that day? Where were you working? Yeah, JP,
Speaker 1: I was in San Francisco. I had just worked TNT
Speaker 1: game the Warriors against the Clippers, and I actually stayed
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area because the Nets were coming in
Speaker 1: to play the Warriors two nights later. First game was
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday night. I knew that I had Wednesday
Speaker 1: off and walking around San Francisco that day normally a
Speaker 1: lot of hustle and bustle, and there was nothing happening.
Speaker 1: It was very surreal. I changed hotels and I walked
Speaker 1: about three quarters of a mile with my luggage on wheels,
Speaker 1: and there was nothing happening. Very strange. And then later
Speaker 1: that night, that Wednesday night, the President spoke to the country,
Speaker 1: talked about the travel restrictions, and then about two hours later,
Speaker 1: Rudy Joe Gobert I was announced had tested positive for coronavirus.
Speaker 1: NBA shutdown. I jumped on a red eye flight immediately
Speaker 1: to get back to the New York area. My family
Speaker 1: was all spread out. My wife and my daughter were
Speaker 1: in Australia where my daughter was studying. My son was
Speaker 1: in l A. So that initial reaction was very personal
Speaker 1: of trying to get everybody situated and back home. And
Speaker 1: then the professional side started to come into focus. Atlantic
Speaker 1: Ten Championship. I was supposed to work that Sunday canceled
Speaker 1: and the tournament canceled. Obviously, we know what happened with
Speaker 1: the NBA and we are still feeling that domino effect today.
Speaker 1: The NFL business as usual, but we know that there's
Speaker 1: some trepidation moving forward as to whether or not they're
Speaker 1: going to be able to start on time and play
Speaker 1: the games at the schedule that they just announced recently.
Speaker 1: I an eagle with US. You touched on a moment
Speaker 1: ago the NFL, uh, You know, everything in this off
Speaker 1: season has pretty much gone business as usual, at least
Speaker 1: scheduling wise. They've had the draft, they did it virtually
Speaker 1: the off season programs going on right now, virtually nothing
Speaker 1: on the field. They announced the schedule, for goodness sakes,
Speaker 1: that went out without a hitch. But now the question
Speaker 1: moving ahead is what happens around training camp and do
Speaker 1: they have to start pairing games down games without fans.
Speaker 1: It's all a big question. Nobody has an answer right now,
Speaker 1: but right so far it's been so good, but you
Speaker 1: get the kind of feeling that it might not last
Speaker 1: that long. Jp The greatest advantage that the NFL has
Speaker 1: had is time on their side. This happened to coincide
Speaker 1: with their off season, and although there might have been
Speaker 1: some people initially that thought it was a bit tone deaf,
Speaker 1: the reality is, after the reaction that we saw from
Speaker 1: the NFL draft and the people around the country, it
Speaker 1: was welcomed and it was a nice distraction. We understand
Speaker 1: where sports fits in to the grand landscape. We miss it,
Speaker 1: but it is not the top priority. The top priority
Speaker 1: is getting our country and our society back up to speed.
Speaker 1: But sports plays a role in that it certainly covers
Speaker 1: a lot of jobs, and the economy is affected by it,
Speaker 1: and I think just the general demeanor of people are
Speaker 1: affected by it in a positive way if sports is involved.
Speaker 1: So the NFL did fill a void, but they're now
Speaker 1: facing grander questions, and that's how do you continue with
Speaker 1: an offseason program. You can do it via zoom. You
Speaker 1: can have meetings that works short term, but eventually the
Speaker 1: physical part comes into play, and you've got to get
Speaker 1: your players ready and you have to practice. There's no sport,
Speaker 1: in my mind out there that requires more of the
Speaker 1: repetition and the pract is in order to do your
Speaker 1: job well and in order to avoid injury. So it's
Speaker 1: interconnected in that manner. The way the schedule is set up,
Speaker 1: they could push it, they could move it and shift it,
Speaker 1: and they could shorten it. That's not their goal. Their
Speaker 1: goal is to play a seventeen week schedule, sixteen games
Speaker 1: for each team. Still respecting the buy but understanding they
Speaker 1: might have to come up with an alternative if we're
Speaker 1: not at a point where the safety measures are in
Speaker 1: place to have fifty three players on a team and
Speaker 1: a practice squad and everybody accounted for day in and
Speaker 1: day out at a facility. You can limit the amount
Speaker 1: of people going in, but let's face it, when players
Speaker 1: go back home, you don't know who they are connecting
Speaker 1: with and who they are interacting with. So I think
Speaker 1: that's where the jigsaw puzzle is going to get very
Speaker 1: challenging for the league. A lot of players, a lot
Speaker 1: of people and staff involved in the NFL more so
Speaker 1: than any other sport. An Eagle CBS Sports with us
Speaker 1: here on Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars Radio. This might
Speaker 1: be a little bit premature on that note, but NFL
Speaker 1: on CBS telecasts will announcers be allowed in the stadium?
Speaker 1: We know it's gonna be on TV if there are
Speaker 1: no fans, but um, how would you call a game
Speaker 1: if you're not allowed in the stadi? Well, two things
Speaker 1: there jp the first part of your question. Look, I
Speaker 1: think if you compare it to the NBA, it is
Speaker 1: vastly different. NFL. You're up in a press box. You
Speaker 1: are away from the action to begin with. It's often
Speaker 1: a controlled environment. You limit the amount of people that
Speaker 1: are in your booth more or less. It's played by
Speaker 1: play announcer, analysts, stat person, spot er, audio person, stage manager.
Speaker 1: That's about it. I would say essential you're looking at
Speaker 1: six people, maybe seven, based on where you put the cameras.
Speaker 1: Would it be robotic cameras or would it be men
Speaker 1: and women working the cameras, So I could envision a
Speaker 1: plan that might include announcers at the site. Now the
Speaker 1: question is going to travel to these cities freely? And
Speaker 1: is there enough travel that's working throughout the nation that
Speaker 1: will allow announcers to come and go. Is there a
Speaker 1: quarantine that might be set up. These are all very
Speaker 1: legitimate questions moving forward, and I think there would be
Speaker 1: some legal concerns that would have to be sorted out
Speaker 1: with all of the people in play. The second part
Speaker 1: of the question, I've done a number of telecasts off
Speaker 1: of a monitor in a remote location. I've done basketball,
Speaker 1: I've done tennis, I've done golf. It can be done.
Speaker 1: It's it's challenge, Yes, certainly, if there are no fans
Speaker 1: in the stadium, you're not getting a whole lot of ambiance,
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to really check your energy and
Speaker 1: gauge where that level would be based on the action.
Speaker 1: And you're now limited to only what you see on
Speaker 1: the screen. No longer can you view what's happening on
Speaker 1: the sidelines and substitutions and nuances that you pick up
Speaker 1: when you're at the venue. But if the question is
Speaker 1: can it be done. It can be done. In the
Speaker 1: last few minutes with you here, I an Eagle, CBS Sports,
Speaker 1: Westwood One Radio, NBA on T and T, Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on and on. Let's talk
Speaker 1: a little Jaguars football. Now. Life happens fast in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. Nearly the entire starting defense is gone.
Speaker 1: Averrey Jones is here, Miles Jack is still here, Unique
Speaker 1: and may or may not be here. That's a different
Speaker 1: story altogether. Those are only three starters from maiming the offense,
Speaker 1: some changes on offense and that time too. This happened quick,
Speaker 1: but there's confidence I think inside the building at least
Speaker 1: virtually these days, that this group is can get some
Speaker 1: things done this year. They may not go win eleven games,
Speaker 1: but there is some confidence around here even with all
Speaker 1: the changes. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Dan Felt and I
Speaker 1: called the Steelers Jaguars playoff game, and to think from
Speaker 1: that moment to where we are today in terms of
Speaker 1: personnel and expectations, things do change quickly, and it's a
Speaker 1: reminder how hard and difficult it is to sustain in
Speaker 1: the National Football League with players bouncing around and uh
Speaker 1: sometimes you catch a break with your schedule, sometimes you don't.
Speaker 1: That year, things came together nicely at the right time.
Speaker 1: That Jaguars were playing their best football at the most
Speaker 1: important time of the year, and matching that has been
Speaker 1: not sure. But that said, what I saw last year,
Speaker 1: there were certainly times where they left something to be desired.
Speaker 1: I had that game late in season Jacksonville, Tennessee, when
Speaker 1: the Titans were on the rise, and that was pretty
Speaker 1: much the end of the line for the Jaguars. Gardner
Speaker 1: Minshew got his job back after that and now here
Speaker 1: we are getting ready for and he's the guy. Pretty
Speaker 1: amazing considering again week one of the season, I've got
Speaker 1: Jaguars Kansas City Chiefs. Minshew is in the game for
Speaker 1: Nick Foles who got injured, and a phenomenon began because
Speaker 1: he just had a presence about him. He wasn't intimidated,
Speaker 1: there was no fear. He just didn't strike you as
Speaker 1: a rookie. And it's funny in the NFL because we
Speaker 1: have so many different personalities and guys that are highly
Speaker 1: successful that are very cocky, and others that are highly
Speaker 1: successful that are very humble. Gardner Minshew just had that
Speaker 1: it factor. Whatever that is. Sometimes you can't really gauge it,
Speaker 1: and you have to look someone in the eye and
Speaker 1: you have to have a conversation with him. And I
Speaker 1: can see how it rubbed off on his teammates, and
Speaker 1: he's got a belief whether or not he takes advantage
Speaker 1: of this and becomes a ten year starter in the NFL. Look,
Speaker 1: we don't know that that that's a hundred million dollar
Speaker 1: question for Gardner Minshew, but he does have attributes that
Speaker 1: you look for in a leader, in a starting quarterback,
Speaker 1: and a guy that people root for. It's easy to
Speaker 1: root for him, But there are other players on this
Speaker 1: team too that have star quality to them. Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: he seems to be the type of guy that you
Speaker 1: can build defensively around, a guy who could be a
Speaker 1: ten year player in Jacksonville. DJ Chark on the other side,
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Those are two pieces to Pro Bowl players
Speaker 1: a year ago that not many teams have young budding
Speaker 1: stars like that on their roster. Yeah, we met with
Speaker 1: Josh week one, and this is a rookie getting ready
Speaker 1: for his first NFL game, And we walked away from
Speaker 1: that meeting saying, this guy's gonna be okay. This is
Speaker 1: not gonna be a problem for him making the transition.
Speaker 1: Mature has a killer instinct, though, and you can tell
Speaker 1: how great he wants to be. And I think he
Speaker 1: was soaking up so much of the knowledge from the
Speaker 1: veterans on that team, and although maybe they're not gonna
Speaker 1: be there anymore, for him, he's gonna benefit greatly from
Speaker 1: that one year. Met with d J. Chark later in
Speaker 1: the season. I did not know a whole lot about him.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously a second round pick, so you had
Speaker 1: a scouting report, but the personality side I didn't know,
Speaker 1: And again walked away very impressed. There's a sense that
Speaker 1: he can be trusted, that he's gonna do his job
Speaker 1: well and that you're never gonna have to worry about
Speaker 1: him his preparation. And also there's a fire there and
Speaker 1: while he may not be the most outgoing necessarily, there
Speaker 1: is something in in the inside that is burning for
Speaker 1: him that he wants to be considered an elite wide
Speaker 1: receiver and you look for that. To me, that's what
Speaker 1: separates players. Everybody in the NFL has talent, Everybody that
Speaker 1: gets to this point has legitimate ability. It's those just
Speaker 1: subtle differences that can make the difference for a player
Speaker 1: turning into a pro bowler, and DJ Stark showed that
Speaker 1: Josh Allen showed the potential for that. So two players.
Speaker 1: If if you're producing a media guide right now for
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, you're sticking these guys on the cover
Speaker 1: and you're feeling good about it that they're going to
Speaker 1: be a part of this culture for an extended period
Speaker 1: of time. Strange times. Obviously, I will appreciate your time
Speaker 1: always to see you and talk to you. JP. Thank you.

Speaker 1: a Zemi That's that's at the top of my my

Speaker 1: to this is. This is my wife's office. So I've
Speaker 1: I've made some adjustments, but we're going with a subtle backdrop.

Speaker 1: and you know they've they've got some guys to to
Speaker 1: build around and maybe do some things this year too.
Speaker 1: It's not now of the Reman possibility, as Tony Basili's
Speaker 1: always says, right, um, be positive. This is the time
Speaker 1: of year to be positive, and it's a good time
Speaker 1: to do that. So they do have some young talent
Speaker 1: on this team that that they can build around, and
Speaker 1: that's a start. That's something that not a lot of
Speaker 1: places can really hang their hat on. So let's see
Speaker 1: if let's see if the Jaguars can can parlay that
Speaker 1: into something special. Some updates this week, The Competition Committee
