WEBVTT - Jaguars Happy Hour: Thursday, August 6

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>It's Thursday, all just six. This is Jack Large and

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>now celebrating his triumph for return to the Premier Beer League. Jane,

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>who said I ever left. First of all, I was

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>never demoted from that Welcome in Jaguar's Happy Hour. J P.

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Shadrick from the home studio. Jeff Loghman from his home studio, logs,

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>what's happening man, It's all good, j P. It's all good. Excited,

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>uh to be one step closer to hopefully having a

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>football season. Well, you know, as the weeks go by

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>here we have a little more football activity going on,

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>which is nice. The opt out days today and then

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, players are on the field going through that

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that ramp up period now and then next week when

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>we talk, maybe there'll be some actual feel things happening

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>by Yeah, and I think, uh, I think we're gonna

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>hear some more news about other players deciding to opt

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>out of me right now. The Jaguars had an additional guy,

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Rashawn Melvin, the cornerback, the veteran that they signed in

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>free agency. He opted out, and uh, I mean, who

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>knows who's gonna come in at the deadline. And I

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>have a feeling that around the league. I think the

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>numbers are over fifty as of last count yesterday, and

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen the updated numbers. I'm sure it's gonna

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>get to be a little bit more as we we

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>hear news around the league today. But here here's the

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>other thing. JP. Just because a guy doesn't opt out

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>now doesn't mean that he's gonna just decide I'm gonna

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>opt out for the season and just not take a

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>stipend now, because that's what kind of the timing of

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>why they're opting out now. You can opt out now

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and receive a hundred fifty thousand dollar stipend, which you

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>have to pay back from next year's salary, and and

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>then you don't play this year. If you have a

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>medical condition that gives you a reason to opt out,

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you can get a three dollar but it's not a stipend.

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>You get to keep it. It's uh, there's no strings attached.

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>But the question still remains that, Look, there's gonna be

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>some guys that get involved in this process of preparing

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>for an NFL season and they're not gonna like what

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>they see, and they're gonna not gonna like maybe the

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 1>feeling that they have when they decide to have contact

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>with their teammates or have contact with opponents and say

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I gotta pass on it. And in that case, they're

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>not going to have any of that money to kind

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>of keep but other than what they have made thus

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 1>far in the season. So I would not be surprised

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:45.839
<v Speaker 1>if we see uh, tens, twenties, maybe thirties. I think

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of players in the National Football League that decide to

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>opt out, you know, after this deadline that was imposed

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>at four pm today, and just not worry about the

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>money at that. Yeah. I mean look, I mean, look,

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>if you if you feel strongly about something and you're

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>not comfortable playing the game, because here's the deal JP,

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, right now, everything's hunky dory, Okay, Well, the

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>players are socially distant. They're having meetings that are virtual.

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>They're lifting in their own little cocoon. They're having all

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>their meetings in their own little cocoon. Okay, but at

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>some point, you're gonna get together and you're gonna have

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a huddle, you're gonna have practice, and that's gonna freak

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 1>some guys out because they're not used to being close

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 1>to people. You know, they've been sitting there teaching these

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>guys look six ft distant, six ft distant, and all

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, now you're asking them to huddle up,

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and then you're asking them to get as close as

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>you can to some guys and cover them or hit

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>them or tackle them, or you know, evade somebody. But

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever it may be. And it's a lot different than

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>what we kind of have become accustomed too lately, and

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a lot different what the players have

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>become accustomed to accustomed to. So it's gonna be a

0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.839
<v Speaker 1>big adjustment. So it's a big adjustment walking in the door,

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Eddie used to all the protocols that they've got to follow.

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>But when all of a sudden they decide to hit,

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a big adjustment. And then there's also

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be another adjustment when they decided to hit somebody

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>else in the game, because you can't play football when

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you're hesitant. So it's gonna be interesting. Yeah, hesitant or

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>socially distant and football, I mean the other teams scored

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and touchdowns. That's that's what that means. Here's what's coming

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.919
<v Speaker 1>up with the show today. Doug Moron at the Media Today,

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll hear some of the highlights from the Jags head coach,

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>The Gardner Minshew Josh Allen, Brandon Lender spoke earlier in

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the week. We'll get some of the highlights from those

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>guys as well, go around the National Football League as well.

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>The logs will start with us. You touched on at

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the opt out deadline at four o'clock, so about four

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>minutes ago Offishally, we'll we'll see if any others kind

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>of roll in right before the deadline, but three Jaguars

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>as at this moment have opted out, Al Wood's Laurentie McCrae.

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Those were earlier in the week. And then as you

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Rashaan Melvin free agent signing this past offseason. You

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>guys been in the league for a little while now,

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>an undrafted player back in ten has worked his way

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>through a few different teams. Um, so three opt outs

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Jaguars, and you know there's three veterans, but

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>really hasn't be around the league for a long time.

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Lauren is no spring chicken anymore. He's got some experience

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>on him. And Melvin has been in since thirteen. So

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>this kind of opens our conversation that we'll we'll hear

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>from Doug on this a little later, you know, in

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>on a year where a young player might not have

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>as many opportunities. If you have three veteran guys as

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>like this opting out, that should have open three more

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>opportunities for a guy, at least on the practice field. Well,

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 1>there's no doubt. I mean, there's there's some young guys

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>that are right now that are quietly celebrating because those

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>three guys right there were almost assured a roster's position

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>or roster spot on this Jaguars football team. So it

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>does create an opportunity, most likely for a younger player.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>So the younger player is probably going, yes, you know,

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, my opportunity just got better, you know. So,

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean good for them. And as a football team,

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I think if you're trying to build it, you're sitting there,

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you're general manager Dave Caldware, you're going, God,

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>here we are. You know, we we we filled some

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>of these holes with these veteran guys, you know, to

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe bridge us until the young guys are ready to

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>take over full time. Well guess what, there's no more

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>bridge you know, and and then next year maybe the

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 1>entire reason that you sign that guy has evaporated because

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe the young guy now gains a year of experience,

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, I mean, what do you do

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>in that situation? So it's it's kind of a different

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>it's a different world, you know, JT. I mean, you know,

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>when Doug talks about how there's absolutely nothing normal about

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>this year, there's not. I mean in and even in

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 1>this instance where you're talking about three veteran guys that

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>are opting out, I mean, there's what what experience do

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 1>you have to reflect back on to make commentary on this?

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you don't. You know, everything is new, everything

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>is different, And I think that's the one guarantee that

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>we have for this season and whatever capacity it's gonna be,

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>is that everything is going to be different and there

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>will be no normal. Let's hear from head coach Doug Marone.

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>He spoke earlier today and to this topic a bit

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>about opportunities for younger players. Of course, we talked about

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.119
<v Speaker 1>it with him last week on the Doug Marone showed

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>as well, you know, and a late round draft pick

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and undrafted rookie, those guys have limited opportunities anyway to

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>put things on tape in a regular year with four

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>preseason games and training camp. But it's even less so now,

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and that makes everybody job much more difficult to give

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>those guys a chance, because it's tough enough to tell

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>a guy he's cut off a roster anyway, but all

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden you you tell him and he hasn't

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>had much of an opportunity. That's even tougher for Doug

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Moron anything in life, as long as you have an opportunity, um,

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>it may not work out well, it may not even

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>be fair, but at least there as an opportunity to

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>at least show something. So immediately when it came out

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to ninety eighty, I didn't even blake. I I was like,

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to ninety. I just feel like it's just

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>an important thing for me and what I believe is

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the right thing to do, and then I think it's

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>right for a team also obviously, Well the obviously part

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>there is this is a young football team, so there's

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of youth. I think there's thirty rookies on

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>this roster, twelve draft picks, eighteen undrafted guys, so that's

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of young guys running around, but there may

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 1>not be as many running around after that. Now you

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>start the deadline is coming up fairly soon in a

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>week or so to get it down to eighty, but

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>for now it's ninety giving him much chance to do something. Well,

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>let me kind of reflect back on what Ducks talking about,

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>how he wants to give those guys a chance. I mean, look, uh,

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>are these guys gonna get a great opportunity or a

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>great luck? Probably not. I mean that's just that's just

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the reality of it. And as a football coach, when

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to decide what your roster makeup is gonna be,

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you're you're gonna go to something that's a little bit

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>more proven and then you have more of a track

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>record on than something that is totally unproven. And that's

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the reality that of a veteran guy, he now has

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a significant advantage because coaches have a trust factor or

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>a belief that this guy can do it well. We're

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the young guys. You need to see

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 1>some repetitive history with a young player to get comfortable

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>with that player, and it's hard to accomplish that when

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about there's about eleven padded practices. That is

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>going to happen before the Jaguars this year, before they

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>have to make a decision to get their roster down

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to a game day type situ aation where they're at

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>fifty three now. The roster being at nineties now, the

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>ninety right now allows them to take a look at

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the young players. But once they get

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>to the situation to where they are practicing I don't

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna be at ninety anymore because if you're

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>at ninety, then you have to split the practice up

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and uh. And look, if I've got two coaching staff,

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a problem splitting up and having two practices,

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>but I've got one coaching staff. There's not enough time

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>in the day to be able to do that. It's

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>time to get focused and get prepared for the season.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can't sit there and say, well, we've

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>got to develop this guy. We've got to develop that guy.

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 1>But they need to develop on their own. And if

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>they can get on board, they get on board, and

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you've got to get ready for a football season. The

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>clock is gonna be ticking, and I expect the Jaguars

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to getting ready to have any a practice,

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a real practice, they'll be down eighties so that they

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 1>don't have to split the squad. Yeah, we're not talking

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>about a junior varsity at a varsity squad. Guess what

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>this is the NFL. You're ready to play or you're

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>not playing. And let me add this JP. You know,

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>dug Rone talked about how he referred back and this

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>was last week and he talked about it in this

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>press conference. He talked about how he reflected back on

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>his time as a college coach and said, Okay, what

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>did I do as a college coach to prepare guys

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 1>for a season? We didn't have preseason games? Well. Yeah.

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>The big difference is, though, is that in college you

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.839
<v Speaker 1>get to keep everybody. Yeah, they're all there. Okay, you

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>get to keep everybody. And guess what if you have

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>ten walk on you can keep them too if you

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>want to. In the NFL, that worked that way. You know,

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>you've got to make a decision. You gotta make a

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty quick decision and say can this guy play or

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>can he not play? Let's hear from the quarterback Gardner Mins.

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>You spoke for the first time in training camp back

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday, and as you might expect Logs. He um,

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>he's an interesting cat. He had a lot of things

0:11:54.840 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>happen app but in this this conference he hear what

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to expect from the offense this year and how he's

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>improved in the off season. But you know, he was

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a little delayed in coming to camp because he found

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>himself on they reserved COVID nineteen lists. And for Gardner Minshew,

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>that was a little bit of a struggle. The first

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>day out yesterday, it has been like the first day

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>of school, you know, like having my outfit picked out

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and everything. How to stay at home. That sucks, missed

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 1>out played with all my friends. But yeah, you know,

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>did not contract the virus. It took one luck at

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.119
<v Speaker 1>me ran the other way. It's probably in its best interests.

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>So um, here we are. We're back on Tuesday. Right

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>to Rolls had a good place in football. There is

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 1>all ways a sound bite or three or four that

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>come out of a Gardner Minshew press conference that you'll

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>run for a long time. This adds to that list.

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>It looks pretty good stuff from the quarterback. Well, there

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>was a couple of things that certainly made you made

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.439
<v Speaker 1>your chuckle. One that that you know, the virus took

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>one look at me and decided to turn the other direction. Uh.

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 1>The other part was, yes, him barking like a dog.

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know exactly who was on the Microsoft

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Teams meeting, and I don't think Gene for NAT or

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it was John Shipley of had a dog

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>in the background barking. We accused, we accused like three

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 1>different people, but we found out it was John. Okay,

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, look, it happens, and Minshaw decides to

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>bark back. But the most interesting thing to me was

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and if you listen to him, and then you also

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>if you read the transcript, he said something to the

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 1>effect of that, because he was talking about him in

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver that he's room he's with, and he

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>said something about, well, we got the anybody's down in Boca,

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 1>And I almost got the impression that he was telling

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>us that he got the virus down there in South Florida.

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>So but I mean, am i am I missreading that?

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Nobody kind of fun up. Nobody followed up on that,

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, but that's what he said. I mean,

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>if you go back and you read the the script,

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.599
<v Speaker 1>or if you go back and you listen to his

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 1>press conference he talks about how you know, he said

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>they got it when they were down there working out,

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 1>and I said, well, somebody please follow up with that,

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and nobody did. So I'm not saying that he had.

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying that it made me wonder because if

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you go back and he watched his press conference and

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>watched the video, it gave me the impression that he

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>did have COVID nineteen, which is fine. I mean, look,

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's millions of people that are getting effective

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, but

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>it also I'm not saying it could be a good thing.

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>But if you're starting quarterback has the antibodies, he's already

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>been through COVID nineteen and there's less of a chance

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of him contracting the virus once again, I mean, that

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 1>could be a good thing for a football team. Doug

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Moron had some comments about Gardner Minshew, and as you

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I expect, Doug is not a social media maven lug,

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 1>so he doesn't see a lot of this outside noise

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>about the cornerback. He does see a different side of Gardener.

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>There's so many people that tell me, you know, all

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>those things about you know, social media, RVs and all

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. I see the guy that comes in with

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>with with a mission and a focus every single day,

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, so um, you know when he's here or

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 1>around myself. And not to say that we might not

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>laugh about something or joke. We do, but I don't

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 1>see that that other side, uh that people will be

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>say the quirkiness to think of that nature he's uh,

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe I bring that out in people. I

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but I'm just saying I see a guy

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that's focused and you know, it's ready to go. And

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>every time he's here and he's working, he's on a

0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 1>mission and he's really working with his teammates. So I mean,

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>obviously that's a great sign when the head coach sees

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>that part of him in the building, and you know,

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 1>he looks a little stronger. We see him if you're

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 1>watching on Jags social he's been in the weight room

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit and has kind of dedicated himself physically

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>what you would expect from from Gardner. That's the kind

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>of guy he seems to be. Like probably he definitely

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 1>he looks more tone and uh, the one thing I

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>think about Gardener Mitchew, I remember last year, my first

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>impression of him when he was out there on the

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 1>football field, I said, boy, looks like a fullback. You know,

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it looks like a walk on fullback. I mean, he

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look like a quarterback, because he does. He's a

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>little shorter in stature and uh. And that's probably one

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons why that he was drafted where he is.

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>And I mean the reality is that, I mean, does

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>he look tall and lean and like a quarterback. I

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 1>mean he doesn't, you know, he looks like I said,

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>like a walk on fullback. And uh. But nonetheless, he's

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>he had a very successful year. It looks like he's

0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 1>come back an excellent shape. He's got he's got some

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>some hair growing out there, so I mean, he's gonna

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>have to watch out and make sure that that doesn't

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>block his vision when he's throwing the football. But I'm

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 1>excited to see him play this year. And the quirkiness

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 1>that Doug kind of mentioned there, he says he doesn't

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>see it, Like, how can you not see it? I mean,

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 1>he's definitely a little quirky, but in a good way.

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, He's different and uh and and I think

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.919
<v Speaker 1>the one thing about Minshew is is that it's not

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>contrived and it's not an act. It's just kind of

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 1>who he is. And I think because if it is

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>an act, or if it's contrived or it's fake, that

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't last in the locker room very long. And nor

0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 1>does a player if he's fake or have this contrived

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>quirky acts, the respect doesn't last long in the locker room.

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>So so that's good for Minshew because the quirkiness that

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.400
<v Speaker 1>actually can help him in the locker room. Because the quirkier,

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:54.160
<v Speaker 1>quirkier you are in the locker room, sometimes the broaderer

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.439
<v Speaker 1>reaches in the locker room. You know what helps broad

0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.399
<v Speaker 1>reach as well is leading touchdown drive as winning football games.

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 1>That certainly helps things too. And uh, you know there's

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of confidence at least early in this training

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.399
<v Speaker 1>camp behind Gardner Minshew, Let's come back. We're gonna hear

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 1>from Josh Allen speaking of confidence and guys, Doug Moron

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>played in a Clinty I mean in the in the league. Uh,

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, high standards. I had a high standard

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 1>last year and I kind of achieved that goal. But

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:15.879
<v Speaker 1>now you know, I set the bar really high for

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:18.679
<v Speaker 1>myself and I'm looking to stay there and stay at

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 1>the top. And I'm gonna push myself as much as

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I could push each year, and this year is I'm

0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>not holding anything back. Man, I'm coming in as best

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>as I can, the best version of me. He called

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Welcome Back Jaguar's Happy Hour j P. Shadrick Jeff Logan, Well,

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>he can't love that guy Logs. Just his mentality of

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the way he goes about his business and his approach

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>even on a call and in a media setting like that.

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.280
<v Speaker 1>He saw what he did on the field last year,

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 1>but the way it's just it seems like a total package,

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>which is a great, great sign for the organization. Really yeah,

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>he's uh, I mean, let's face it, he's a stud.

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's uh. He's a stud in so many

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>different ways. A stud because he has great physical tools,

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.080
<v Speaker 1>he has the personality to make up that you want

0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you're great players to have. He's got some natural leadership ability.

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 1>And when when anybody walks in the door and immediately

0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of latches onto the coattails of Klais Campbell and says,

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna follow this guy because I want to be

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:36.680
<v Speaker 1>like this guy. To me, I mean, holy cow, that's

0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:40.120
<v Speaker 1>exactly what you're looking for. When you have young players

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that come in that think they know that and they

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:45.879
<v Speaker 1>think they've been there and done that, that's not the

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 1>type type of player that you want. The players that

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:53.239
<v Speaker 1>come in that are wanting to be a sponge and

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>realize that they have so much to learn. Those are

0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the ones that realize that they're seiling, they haven't reached yet,

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna do everything possible to try to become

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>better players. And and I love listening to his interview.

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I love listening to him talk about how he prepared

0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>for the season and that obviously with all the restrictions

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:15.879
<v Speaker 1>that were in place, he did the smart thing. And

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 1>then he went out and he got somebody to take

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:21.400
<v Speaker 1>him through workouts. He took and leaned on the advice

0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 1>of Clay's Campbell about trying to take care of your

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>house and your business and your body first before you

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:30.360
<v Speaker 1>worry about anybody else. And I think that's the definition

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 1>of a leader and that you do have to take

0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>care of yourself because in in the NFL, the reality

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:39.879
<v Speaker 1>is this. You can be a great leader, but if

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be a leader, you've got to make sure

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 1>that number one, you're doing the right thing and that

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 1>you're a good football player. Because if you're not a

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:50.680
<v Speaker 1>good football player, do you think everybody else is gonna

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:53.359
<v Speaker 1>listen to you? No? No, You've you've got to have

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a little You gotta have some game if you're gonna

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>be able to lead in the locker room. And I'm

0:24:57.840 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>not saying you've got to be one of the best

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:01.959
<v Speaker 1>players in the you don't, but you've got to have

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 1>some games. Now. I mean he would love to be obviously.

0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:08.200
<v Speaker 1>That's his goal is to be one of the best,

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 1>if not the best, player in the league. And head

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>coach Doug Barron was asked about Alan today and his mindset.

0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:16.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it doesn't start when you show up

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 1>for training camp for the head coach. It starts much

0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:22.119
<v Speaker 1>earlier than that. So immediately when the season was over,

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm thinking to myself, this guy gets it.

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:29.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, um, you know this guy is is are

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden starting to put together a plan

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.679
<v Speaker 1>for himself of of how he what he wants to

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:37.320
<v Speaker 1>do in the offseason, what he wants to do when

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 1>he comes back, and is envisioning himself be a successful

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 1>on the field. That you need that first before you

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>need anything. Yeah, start with plan, follow the plan, executed,

0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and helped the team as a whole win football games.

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 1>That was another part that Doug talked about too. It's

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 1>not just personal goals. He wants to win games. He

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>this organization, the guys around him to do well for

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars to to win football games. That's what it takes.

0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean. And and if you're gonna lead this franchise

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:12.679
<v Speaker 1>and turn it around, you've got to have players that

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:15.920
<v Speaker 1>have that mindset that they're gonna be willing and they're

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to do whatever is best for this

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 1>organization and win football games. And obviously the success of

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the team is more important than the success of the individual.

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's the way it's gotta be. And uh, And

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen is a good football player, and I like

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the way he also is. I don't want to say

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 1>taking over that place Campbell role with Caleb and chays On.

0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:38.679
<v Speaker 1>But he's kind of, you know, treated him like a

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.000
<v Speaker 1>brother in helping him along. And that's what you gotta have,

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, you gotta these get the young guys that

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 1>come into your football team. You want to make sure

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that they latch on with people like a Josh Allen

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>or like a Clays Campbell because you want them raise

0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>right and you want them to eventually to do the

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 1>same thing to the younger guys that they start latching

0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>on to some in your locker room that you're like,

0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 1>uh and that that JP. We all know it. I

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>mean there's guys in every locker room that you sit

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:10.160
<v Speaker 1>there and you go, uh, you know, and and we

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 1>as as media members and as a former player and

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:16.400
<v Speaker 1>having been in that locker room, you have guys like that,

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you just want to make sure that

0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 1>nobody latches on the guys like that. But you need

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.200
<v Speaker 1>some of those guys to accomplish your goals because they

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>have a good skill set and they fill a role.

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>But at the same token, you don't need a guy

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 1>like that mentor in anybody. And the Josh Allen is

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the perfect type of mentor, and he's he's a fantastic

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.919
<v Speaker 1>football player. And I'm excited to watch him play this

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.560
<v Speaker 1>year because he's gonna have one year of experience under

0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:42.240
<v Speaker 1>his belt and he's only gonna get that much better.

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:48.440
<v Speaker 1>That was one question that Josh Allen was, what do

0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you need to do better? What can you improve upon

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:57.679
<v Speaker 1>and back? Josh Allen certainly had an answer for that,

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:01.120
<v Speaker 1>being a complete player, man. And Uh, I feel like,

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, I worked on pass russ, but I

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 1>worked on my whole game. Uh. You know it was

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.480
<v Speaker 1>it's so big to get caught up in the sacks.

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is just talking around people in the NFL. Uh,

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 1>It's so big to get caught up in the sacks

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>if you're considered a pass rusher. Uh. And I'm not

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:17.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to be considered just a pass rush and I'm

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to be considered a great defensive player. Um So

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm my main focus was stopping My main focus is

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna stop the run, tackle for losses. You know, plays

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that destructive the whole offense. He added also that priority

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 1>number one for this Jaguars defense live just to stop

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the run. So that's coming from above. But uh, there's

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.360
<v Speaker 1>a reason why they have to stop the run before

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>they can get to the opportunity to rush the pastor

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:46.200
<v Speaker 1>he knows that, how much better does he need to be,

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 1>at least in in run defense and being a complete player.

0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 1>How can he do that? Well, He's he's got a

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of room to improve. Man, I'm I'm talking a

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of room to improve, because you're talking about a

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 1>guy who at the University Kentucky didn't put his hand

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>down on a three point stance hardly all, and when

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 1>he did, it was only to rush the passer. So

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 1>he had no comfort level whatsoever about playing the run

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:10.960
<v Speaker 1>from a three point stanch. Which, look, the reality is,

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna play defensive end of the National Football League,

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you've got to learn how to do that. And and

0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that's something that you can see that he worked on.

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.600
<v Speaker 1>He's did the footwork, the hand placement, all that stuff.

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 1>He can get better at it. But that's what I

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>appreciate about Josh is that even though he had a

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>double digit SAX last year as a rookie, which is

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 1>tremendous because you're an elite pass rusher in the National

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Football League. When you get double digit especially if you're

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a rookie. So he could just say, Hey, that's the glamour,

0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that's how my name is gonna be made, that's how

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I make Pro Bowls, and that's what I am. I'm

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 1>just gonna be just a pass rusher. But he wants

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to be the complete player and uh and yeah, the

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Jaguar has got to have a strong focus on stop

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>in the run because JP they weren't very good at

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:52.800
<v Speaker 1>it last year. You know, that was one of the

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>reasons why they signed Joe Schobert linebacker, one of the

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 1>reasons that they signed Out Woods. And now he's opted out.

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 1>The big nose apple veteran guy, you know, so it's

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>unfortunate that they lost him. But they've got to get

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 1>better against the run, and Josh Allen has to be

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a big part of that. Big body helps. I mean,

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 1>he's not a small guy. He's two hundred and sixty.

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 1>That helps, right to have some stoutness to you. Yeah,

0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 1>he's you know, I think last year there were times

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that he played about two sixty five, maybe even all

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the way up the two hundred and seventy pounds. And

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the crazy thing is when he's to seventy, he's still

0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>he still moves unbelievably well, you know. And and compare

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that too in Gockway. And this is no Slidervingockway, because

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>he's a great player in his own right. But he's

0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 1>about two hundred thirty five pound ballpark, you know. So

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the reality is that you can't do things at to

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty five that you can't at to sixty five or

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 1>two seventy. Trust me, I've been there, I've tried it.

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, played years and when I was younger at

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the two hundred and forty pounds, and then I played

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 1>years at two hundred seventy pounds, And there's obviously a

0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>comfort level for every player. And with Josh Allen, they're

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>seeing should be a pretty wide comfort zone in which

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 1>which he can play at and uh and when you

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>have a guy that's two seventy pounds that can that

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.520
<v Speaker 1>can run like him. But I think the most impressive

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>thing is that we're talking about a bigger defensive endom

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 1>according to modern day standards. Now, I mean, we're not

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:17.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about going in league history, y j P. Because

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 1>some of the modern day standards, most of your defensive

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 1>ends are two fifties. Two fifty five is somewhere right

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:24.479
<v Speaker 1>and there. Josh is a little bit bigger than that.

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:30.680
<v Speaker 1>But his wind or his ability to to have a

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 1>motor that is still running and I'm talking his speed

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 1>is at a high level through the course of a play,

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 1>because there was one place last year that sticks in

0:31:38.640 --> 0:31:41.760
<v Speaker 1>my mind that's just unbelievable. And then he runs one direction,

0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 1>he stopped, he changed his direction, and then all of

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a sudden and he closes. And when he closed, he

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>ran a guy down. Whereas most humans, okay after the

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 1>first birth, will be like Josh was just like it

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>was like he's like, all right, here we go. He's

0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>like he's fresh. It was like he just started and

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 1>it was the second part of the second half of

0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the play, and I'm going, how do you do that?

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what a gift that he has. And it's

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's fun to watch because I wish I had

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that kind of endurance in a play that Josh has.

0:32:14.680 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I will say that, you know, I've lost some weight lately, right,

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I touched too, six four six. Yeah, it's a little

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>bit different for Josh than it was for me. Let's

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 1>come back in the moment. Speaking of big guys will

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>go on the offensive line, and here from Brandon Linder.

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:42.359
<v Speaker 1>just because it's allowing us to get our bodies conditioned

0:36:42.719 --> 0:36:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in the shape that we want to be at to play.

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if a lot of guys

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 1>had the opportunities to work out in the gym, you know,

0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:53.439
<v Speaker 1>access to a field, just with with with all that's

0:36:53.440 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 1>going on. But um, I think the gradual way is

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna be good. And then, I mean, fourteen days doesn't

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:01.839
<v Speaker 1>seen that much, but the stuff that we're doing now

0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of preparing us. So I think in that

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:07.719
<v Speaker 1>fourteen days will be wide open in the full swing

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:13.400
<v Speaker 1>of things. It's Brandon Lender, Jaguars Center. He spoke with

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the media earlier this week. Jaguars Happy, our rolls along,

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:20.000
<v Speaker 1>We're halfway home. The Doug Moron Show starts at five

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:22.400
<v Speaker 1>o'clock today, and we'll hear from the head coach. But

0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 1>good to hear from Lender. You know, a guy who's

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 1>been around here here for a long time, and earlier

0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:32.120
<v Speaker 1>in his career, has battled some injury things, but logs,

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 1>he's I think he made the point that, especially for

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>veteran players, he's I think he called it a dream offseason.

0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:42.120
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing on the field at all, right, so you

0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 1>should be fairly fast. I know what Lender's mindset is. Okay,

0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Lender's thinking, Okay, no t a, no mini camp. I

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:52.839
<v Speaker 1>get to go more, I get to go fishing more,

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I get to go turkey hunt more. And so my

0:37:56.000 --> 0:37:58.400
<v Speaker 1>schedule is clean. I don't have any commitments. I mean,

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:00.720
<v Speaker 1>so I know, I Lend. But but here's the Brandon

0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Leonard still prepared for the season, and and he certainly

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say that he thought that it

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:08.719
<v Speaker 1>was the dream season like, boy, we want to have

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:11.439
<v Speaker 1>every year like this, because the reality is nobody wants

0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:14.320
<v Speaker 1>to have a year like we've had with with a

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:17.319
<v Speaker 1>global pandemic. But I think he's just referring to all

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the free time, no commitments football wise, and and you

0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:24.440
<v Speaker 1>come back and you're kind of ready to go um.

0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:25.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think you know, he also had in that

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:28.960
<v Speaker 1>interview talked about the importance and he realized the importance

0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of the offensive line to the success of this season

0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:36.480
<v Speaker 1>this year, because you're talking about a young quarterback in

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the second year, really the first year that he has

0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:43.319
<v Speaker 1>been the name starting quarterback, and a defense that is

0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:45.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna be an offense really that both sides of the

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:47.840
<v Speaker 1>ball is gonna be plugging in a lot of young players.

0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 1>So if you look at any position group across this

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:55.160
<v Speaker 1>whole football team, the offensive line is probably the one

0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that has the most consistency or will have the most

0:38:58.840 --> 0:39:02.560
<v Speaker 1>consistency to it. And uh and obviously, and I think

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:06.920
<v Speaker 1>it was one of the requests that John Oshan made

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to us j P all the media guys and said, hey,

0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I need you guys to help me write these articles.

0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>And he asked different questions and one of the questions

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that he posed that was on Jaguars dot Com was

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:21.919
<v Speaker 1>what is the most important position? Group? Heading into mine

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:25.000
<v Speaker 1>was offensive Live And the reason I said that was

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 1>two fold. One is that you have young quarterback. You

0:39:28.200 --> 0:39:31.480
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of growth that's needed for him, and

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you got to give him room to do that. You

0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:35.520
<v Speaker 1>need to have a running game, and the offensive line's

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:37.960
<v Speaker 1>gotta block and lead the way because that's probably going

0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 1>to be the most consistent thing to the offense, but

0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:43.920
<v Speaker 1>also time of possession. By running the football, you also

0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:46.920
<v Speaker 1>keep a defense off the field and so that the

0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:49.439
<v Speaker 1>offensive line can help the defense and ways as well.

0:39:49.520 --> 0:39:52.560
<v Speaker 1>So this offense has got to be good. This offensive

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:54.400
<v Speaker 1>line has got to be good, and Brandon Lennard has

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:56.120
<v Speaker 1>got to be a big, big part of that. You know,

0:39:56.200 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>last year was the first year that he was able

0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:01.239
<v Speaker 1>to make a complete season and stayed healthy and and

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I know he attributes the diet, the plots, the stretching stuff, uh,

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and good for him. You know, when players finally find

0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:11.040
<v Speaker 1>what works for them, they got to stick with it

0:40:11.080 --> 0:40:15.799
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully that that formula continues to work for Brandon Lenner. Yeah,

0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:17.800
<v Speaker 1>he got dinged up a little bit last year, but

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:23.399
<v Speaker 1>everybody whole season. I mean, everybody gets that. If you're

0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a football player and you don't get dinged up, you

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:28.719
<v Speaker 1>didn't play. You know, you're like on practice squad or

0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:31.320
<v Speaker 1>or you're you're the water boy. I mean, if you're playing,

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you get dinged up. And that's just the fact, you know.

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:36.279
<v Speaker 1>But the whole goal is just to be able to

0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:38.799
<v Speaker 1>fight through some of the things and still be available.

0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:41.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, as we we've seen for many years the

0:40:41.920 --> 0:40:49.720
<v Speaker 1>old saying availability supersedes what JP. Yeah, come on, availability

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:57.399
<v Speaker 1>supersedes what ability? Ability. Yes, availability supersedes ability because if

0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.080
<v Speaker 1>a player is not available, it doesn't matter what an

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:02.440
<v Speaker 1>ability he has. And so for Brandon Leonard to be

0:41:02.440 --> 0:41:06.319
<v Speaker 1>available for all sixteen games last year, uh, great job.

0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:08.400
<v Speaker 1>And hope, hope, hope we see the same thing this

0:41:08.480 --> 0:41:12.399
<v Speaker 1>year out of them. Yeah, the most important ability is availability.

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:14.400
<v Speaker 1>That's the way I've always different. That's why I was hesitant.

0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:19.000
<v Speaker 1>And and here's the other thing, JP, I mean, the

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:22.759
<v Speaker 1>the offensive lines got some competition this year every week.

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Let's I mean, let's start with that real quickly. Let's

0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:28.640
<v Speaker 1>start at left tackle, that's the one right Cam Robinson

0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and then Will Richardson's moving over to the left tackle position.

0:41:32.680 --> 0:41:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Is this a real deal? Uh? Am I breathing? That's real? Yeah,

0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that's real. Here. Look Will Richardson. Last year, when all

0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:49.359
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, Cam Robinson is not ready to go,

0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:51.719
<v Speaker 1>and then he was asked to play left tackle. He

0:41:51.760 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 1>did a really good job. And the Sally you know

0:41:56.360 --> 0:42:00.560
<v Speaker 1>who is Hall of Fame Cannet played the position. Even

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:03.600
<v Speaker 1>made the comment that, look, you know, you leave Will

0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 1>out there at left tackle because he arguably had been

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:10.959
<v Speaker 1>playing better than Cam has. And so to create competition,

0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:14.799
<v Speaker 1>first off, it's gonna make Cam a better player. It's

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna make give Will an opportunity to earn a starting

0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:21.279
<v Speaker 1>job and give him motivation. And and also in the

0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:23.920
<v Speaker 1>event that Cam still wins the position, good for him.

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:26.880
<v Speaker 1>He obviously elevated his level of play. But then you

0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:29.560
<v Speaker 1>also had a player who you know can play guard

0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:34.000
<v Speaker 1>because he rotated last year at guard. Now a sudden,

0:42:34.160 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 1>he can play guard, he can play tackle. He's the

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:42.160
<v Speaker 1>multi tool that now becomes your most important offensive lineman

0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 1>at that sixth position, because if anybody gets hurt, maybe

0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:49.080
<v Speaker 1>besides the center position, he's going to be the first

0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:51.919
<v Speaker 1>guy in. And Will Richardson, if he doesn't in fact

0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:54.920
<v Speaker 1>beat out Cam Robinson, and then if he does, okay,

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:57.440
<v Speaker 1>well guess what. Cam's gonna have to learn how to

0:42:57.480 --> 0:42:59.399
<v Speaker 1>play some guard and he's gonna have to learn play

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:03.479
<v Speaker 1>some right to or wherever they need him at. Let's

0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:06.440
<v Speaker 1>hear again from Brandon Lender. We we've talked about guys

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 1>getting dinged up. That happens, but the dinged up could

0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:12.440
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit different this year. The social distancing

0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:15.239
<v Speaker 1>and everything that's happening in the building right now, there's

0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:18.200
<v Speaker 1>one thing, but at some point you have to line

0:43:18.239 --> 0:43:21.560
<v Speaker 1>up across from the man across from you and butt

0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 1>heads with him and get face to face. As we've

0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:27.120
<v Speaker 1>talked about logs before. I asked Brandon on the call

0:43:27.280 --> 0:43:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the other day, would he consider wearing that new faced

0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:34.880
<v Speaker 1>mask shield. You know, some guys have the visor only

0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:37.279
<v Speaker 1>over the eyes, but there's an option now to wear

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 1>one over the mouth and nose part of the face mask.

0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:44.680
<v Speaker 1>And I asked him in general, was of having to

0:43:44.719 --> 0:43:49.200
<v Speaker 1>be so closely involved in the trenches. Obviously we've been

0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:54.520
<v Speaker 1>socially distancing ourselves. I've been taking this seriously. Um, I've

0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:57.279
<v Speaker 1>been talking to the equipment guys about that shield. I

0:43:57.320 --> 0:44:00.239
<v Speaker 1>guess that goes above right here, but I mean hot

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 1>as it's been. I don't know that's gonna be tough.

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.279
<v Speaker 1>But I mean because I mean in the trenches. I

0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>mean you're just right here with another guy. I mean,

0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:10.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously there's your exhaling or spit. I mean, it's kind

0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of crazy. But I don't know, we'll see. I'm gonna

0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>take a look at it. Um, I don't know. It

0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:20.200
<v Speaker 1>might be too hot in there to wear it. Yeah, hot,

0:44:20.280 --> 0:44:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and at some point he has to make calls as

0:44:23.080 --> 0:44:25.759
<v Speaker 1>well in their offensive line. Could be a little bit

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:28.160
<v Speaker 1>of an issue there. This is gonna be interesting to

0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:30.600
<v Speaker 1>see because you can't really know if you like wearing

0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:33.279
<v Speaker 1>that until you go try it on the practice field.

0:44:33.320 --> 0:44:36.600
<v Speaker 1>They haven't been able to wear helmets yet. Yeah, And

0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you this, I'm not I haven't seen

0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:45.120
<v Speaker 1>um it yet up close in person JP obviously because

0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:48.960
<v Speaker 1>you know we can't be down at stadium. UM. But

0:44:49.040 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you this. You know, essentially what they're

0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:54.839
<v Speaker 1>the objective is is to control this area here, which

0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:58.920
<v Speaker 1>is your nose, kind of like a mask. And I

0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:02.560
<v Speaker 1>had experience because you know, the visor thing has been

0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:06.879
<v Speaker 1>around for for quite some time. Well, I remember back

0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:09.040
<v Speaker 1>in the day that you know, like a guy like

0:45:09.120 --> 0:45:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Tim Cofield and Chris Doleman and and guys wore the

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Darth Vader mask, you know that we used to call

0:45:16.239 --> 0:45:18.520
<v Speaker 1>it because tinted out and you can't see their eyes.

0:45:18.680 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>And I thought it looked pretty cool. And so I

0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:23.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know, man, I got, I got, I

0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:25.400
<v Speaker 1>think I want to try that, you know, so it

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:28.040
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty cool. You know, maybe offensive line won't see

0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:30.759
<v Speaker 1>my eyes. I can look cool, you know, because when

0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you're twenty two, you know, you kind of want to

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:34.400
<v Speaker 1>look cool too, you know. So I put one on

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:38.360
<v Speaker 1>for a practice and and this was in New York summertime,

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and it was stifling. It was it was like this

0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 1>this oven, and it's it's almost like being in a

0:45:49.239 --> 0:45:54.440
<v Speaker 1>backyard jp that has twelve ft high fencing that is

0:45:54.800 --> 0:45:58.720
<v Speaker 1>totally would and there's no breeze versus chain link fencing,

0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and the breeze is blowing through. I mean, it's just

0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>there's no there's no cooling effect whatsoever to just this part.

0:46:05.719 --> 0:46:07.919
<v Speaker 1>You know. So now of fall of a sudden, you're

0:46:07.920 --> 0:46:13.120
<v Speaker 1>talking all of this part right here. I mean Brandon's right,

0:46:13.239 --> 0:46:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the the heat and look at if you're

0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:23.080
<v Speaker 1>playing football in December, January, February, this might be okay,

0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:32.640
<v Speaker 1>But Jacksonville in September, Uh uh, ain't happen. Ain't happened now.

0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if if, if they can find a

0:46:36.080 --> 0:46:40.400
<v Speaker 1>way to do something else that wouldn't be so prohibitive

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:43.799
<v Speaker 1>of the of the aeration part of it, getting into

0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the helmet, I don't know. Uh, but that but that

0:46:47.640 --> 0:46:53.360
<v Speaker 1>whole mask, face mask, plastic thing. As a player, I

0:46:53.400 --> 0:47:00.560
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't wear it either. Let's come go around all league.

0:47:00.600 --> 0:47:03.880

<v Speaker 1>for seniors, mass for healthcare workers and residents, funds for

0:50:59.200 --> 0:51:03.960
<v Speaker 1>immediate needs, and expertise on prevention. J. P. Shadrick Jeff

0:51:04.040 --> 0:51:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Logiven from our home studios. As we go around the

0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:12.560
<v Speaker 1>National Football League, the deadline for opting out came and

0:51:12.600 --> 0:51:16.280
<v Speaker 1>went for o'clock today. The players had to provide written

0:51:16.280 --> 0:51:21.160
<v Speaker 1>notice by then their intention to opt out. Otherwise, the

0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:23.360
<v Speaker 1>ability to opt out later logs will be limited to

0:51:23.440 --> 0:51:28.040
<v Speaker 1>specific changes in circumstances. That will include the player receiving

0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:30.520
<v Speaker 1>a new diagnosis of a health condition that puts him

0:51:30.520 --> 0:51:34.640
<v Speaker 1>at a higher risk, or the hospitalization or death of

0:51:34.640 --> 0:51:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a family member from COVID night in that's to receive

0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:42.439
<v Speaker 1>is talking about a little bit earlier. That's the only

0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:45.880
<v Speaker 1>way after four o'clock today that can happen. Well. And

0:51:45.880 --> 0:51:48.440
<v Speaker 1>then also, I mean, I think the opt out stuff

0:51:48.480 --> 0:51:51.359
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really end there. I think that that we'll still

0:51:51.400 --> 0:51:56.480
<v Speaker 1>have some players that choose to retire and uh and

0:51:56.560 --> 0:52:01.160
<v Speaker 1>then unretired. It's uh, it's not common for a player

0:52:01.239 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 1>too to change his mind. And so what the player

0:52:05.600 --> 0:52:07.680
<v Speaker 1>will do in that instance is that he doesn't have

0:52:07.719 --> 0:52:10.480
<v Speaker 1>any opt out money that will be at stake, who

0:52:10.480 --> 0:52:13.879
<v Speaker 1>will essentially walk away from his contract and he will

0:52:13.920 --> 0:52:16.640
<v Speaker 1>be paid to date. But then the other thing that

0:52:16.719 --> 0:52:19.160
<v Speaker 1>this factors in there, if the player does choose to

0:52:19.200 --> 0:52:23.319
<v Speaker 1>walk away, then the player may have to refund a

0:52:23.400 --> 0:52:26.200
<v Speaker 1>percentage of his signing bonus for the guaranteed money that

0:52:26.239 --> 0:52:29.040
<v Speaker 1>he was already paid. So that's gonna be a factor.

0:52:29.120 --> 0:52:31.200
<v Speaker 1>But I mean that is always an option for the

0:52:31.239 --> 0:52:35.839
<v Speaker 1>players that maybe after today at four PM, they're not

0:52:35.920 --> 0:52:40.640
<v Speaker 1>comfortable playing with a global pandemic, that they do have

0:52:40.719 --> 0:52:43.520
<v Speaker 1>the option that they can walk away and just retire.

0:52:44.280 --> 0:52:45.880
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know what the number is gonna be

0:52:45.960 --> 0:52:48.719
<v Speaker 1>JP And and obviously the deadline has passed now for

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the players to submit their written letter in which they

0:52:51.600 --> 0:52:54.520
<v Speaker 1>opt out. UM, it will be interested to see what

0:52:54.560 --> 0:52:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the final number is. Certainly, and because you know there

0:52:59.080 --> 0:53:01.359
<v Speaker 1>this is different, you know, I mean, and I think

0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:03.479
<v Speaker 1>the league and the coaches and everything that I've read

0:53:03.600 --> 0:53:06.120
<v Speaker 1>from their statements about when the players that does decide

0:53:06.120 --> 0:53:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to opt out, that they have been completely understanding. I

0:53:09.960 --> 0:53:12.560
<v Speaker 1>think there also has to be some understanding too that

0:53:12.600 --> 0:53:15.440
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a little bit of an adjustment period

0:53:15.480 --> 0:53:18.480
<v Speaker 1>once again when the players go to having practice and

0:53:18.520 --> 0:53:22.040
<v Speaker 1>then the social distancing evaporates, and then there's games and

0:53:22.440 --> 0:53:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you're you're hitting somebody else, and you know, like Brandon

0:53:25.400 --> 0:53:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Lennard was talking about about how the face mask, you know,

0:53:27.920 --> 0:53:31.279
<v Speaker 1>you're talking right here, you know, you're swapping spit and

0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:34.040
<v Speaker 1>sweat and everything else, you know, because the contact is

0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:36.960
<v Speaker 1>face to face. I mean, that's just that's football. So

0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:40.200
<v Speaker 1>there's gotta gotta be a little adjustment period with that too.

0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:42.359
<v Speaker 1>And I think the one thing that you hope that

0:53:42.440 --> 0:53:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't have any hesitancy from the players, your players

0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:48.720
<v Speaker 1>when they have or they're going through that adjustment period,

0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:51.840
<v Speaker 1>because when you're hesitant, you're gonna get beat, uh and

0:53:51.920 --> 0:53:57.719
<v Speaker 1>also you could get hurt when you are hesitant. The

0:53:58.120 --> 0:54:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Player Association has said that fifth the six players have

0:54:01.000 --> 0:54:04.520
<v Speaker 1>tested positive for COVID nineteen since players began reporting to

0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:08.200
<v Speaker 1>training camps last week. That's about two of the players

0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:13.359
<v Speaker 1>currently on NFL rosters. You know, that's not a bad percentage, right,

0:54:13.400 --> 0:54:17.279
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a pretty small number relative. Yeah, And I

0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:21.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know the NFL hasn't tested for anybody's that I

0:54:22.040 --> 0:54:24.800
<v Speaker 1>know of, So, I mean that's just in the testing

0:54:24.880 --> 0:54:28.760
<v Speaker 1>protocols that they have instituted since the start of training camp.

0:54:29.280 --> 0:54:33.080
<v Speaker 1>So is the percentage higher? Obviously it would be higher.

0:54:33.320 --> 0:54:36.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure that some players that were asymptomatic and

0:54:36.480 --> 0:54:39.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe never even knew that they had COVID, and some

0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:42.080
<v Speaker 1>players like von Miller that had it and they knew it,

0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:46.000
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't test positive within the league's testing procedures

0:54:46.040 --> 0:54:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that started at the opening of training camp. So it

0:54:49.080 --> 0:54:52.520
<v Speaker 1>seems like a really low number, but the reality is that,

0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, you try to go to get that number

0:54:54.680 --> 0:54:57.680
<v Speaker 1>down to zero because if all of a sudden, you

0:54:57.800 --> 0:55:01.360
<v Speaker 1>have one outbreak, you know, then you can have a

0:55:01.400 --> 0:55:04.520
<v Speaker 1>team shut down. I mean, we saw with baseball what

0:55:04.640 --> 0:55:07.920
<v Speaker 1>it can lead to. Were to baseball teams with Miami

0:55:07.960 --> 0:55:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and St. Louis had major issues with trying to complete

0:55:11.200 --> 0:55:13.120
<v Speaker 1>a season because of outbreaks. And you hope that the

0:55:13.239 --> 0:55:16.720
<v Speaker 1>NFL doesn't have that and uh and hopefully the bubble

0:55:16.800 --> 0:55:20.359
<v Speaker 1>that they can create will be good enough. By the way,

0:55:20.360 --> 0:55:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the Marlins are in first place. They've won some games

0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:26.759
<v Speaker 1>since they've started playing again, and they've got some some

0:55:26.800 --> 0:55:30.600
<v Speaker 1>guys off of their taxi squad to come up and um,

0:55:30.640 --> 0:55:33.000
<v Speaker 1>hey they're hot. Wouldn't that be something if the Marlins,

0:55:33.000 --> 0:55:35.359
<v Speaker 1>of all teams, ended up in the World Series this year,

0:55:36.000 --> 0:55:39.480
<v Speaker 1>probably against the Yankees. Um. We mentioned this last week,

0:55:39.560 --> 0:55:42.480
<v Speaker 1>but Vic Beasley still has not shown up for Titans

0:55:42.480 --> 0:55:45.160
<v Speaker 1>training camp. He did not opt out either logs, so

0:55:45.400 --> 0:55:51.360
<v Speaker 1>his fines for not reporting so far fifty dollars a

0:55:51.440 --> 0:55:54.520
<v Speaker 1>day for unexc used absences, So it's five hundred thousand

0:55:54.520 --> 0:56:00.799
<v Speaker 1>dollars worth of fines now for Vic Beasley wherever he is. Wow. Uh,

0:56:00.840 --> 0:56:03.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think he signed like a one year prove

0:56:03.280 --> 0:56:06.239
<v Speaker 1>it deal with Tennessee because you know, he had a

0:56:06.320 --> 0:56:08.520
<v Speaker 1>number of years with Atlanta. You know, the Super Bowl

0:56:08.560 --> 0:56:11.239
<v Speaker 1>year that he had he was unbelievable and then kind

0:56:11.239 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>of the performance dropped significantly, and so you've got a

0:56:14.680 --> 0:56:16.759
<v Speaker 1>one year proven deal with the Tennessee title. He's not

0:56:16.800 --> 0:56:20.839
<v Speaker 1>proven anything right now other than being a ghost. I mean,

0:56:21.000 --> 0:56:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I hope he's okay. Uh. You hope that the individual

0:56:24.960 --> 0:56:26.879
<v Speaker 1>is is not in any trouble or doesn't have any

0:56:26.920 --> 0:56:29.799
<v Speaker 1>family issues or anything of that nature. But man, a

0:56:29.800 --> 0:56:33.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit of communication with uh, with the general manager

0:56:33.960 --> 0:56:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and head coach there in Tennessee would probably do himself

0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:42.359
<v Speaker 1>some good. Today LUGS would have been the Hall of

0:56:42.360 --> 0:56:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Fame game and can'ton Ohio. It's amazing that we would

0:56:46.120 --> 0:56:50.360
<v Speaker 1>have already been teeing it up tonight at Benson Stadium

0:56:50.360 --> 0:56:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and Kent playing in the Hall of Fame game stinks.

0:56:57.920 --> 0:57:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say, Look, I've been playing at twice and UH,

0:57:01.600 --> 0:57:04.239
<v Speaker 1>and it was pretty cool, uh to be able to

0:57:04.280 --> 0:57:05.840
<v Speaker 1>play in it, just for the simple fact that the

0:57:05.880 --> 0:57:07.799
<v Speaker 1>first time that I ever played, and it was John

0:57:07.880 --> 0:57:10.680
<v Speaker 1>riggins induction into the Hall of Fame, and and I

0:57:10.760 --> 0:57:13.280
<v Speaker 1>was on the field as he's driving around and he

0:57:13.280 --> 0:57:15.680
<v Speaker 1>he'd had a few beers and he's waving and doing

0:57:15.680 --> 0:57:17.200
<v Speaker 1>his best to sit up on the back of the

0:57:17.240 --> 0:57:19.400
<v Speaker 1>car kind of this during the thing. And then uh,

0:57:19.600 --> 0:57:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and then the other one obviously was with the Jaguars

0:57:22.000 --> 0:57:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and Panthers. But having the extra preseason game is like

0:57:27.160 --> 0:57:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the worst thing in the world, and especially when Tom

0:57:30.600 --> 0:57:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Coughlin was your head coach. I have no fond memories

0:57:37.760 --> 0:57:41.160
<v Speaker 1>of of of the Hall of Fame game. And Steven's

0:57:41.200 --> 0:57:44.480
<v Speaker 1>point other than it was the first year of a franchise,

0:57:44.520 --> 0:57:46.600
<v Speaker 1>in the birth of a franchise, and all those things

0:57:46.640 --> 0:57:51.880
<v Speaker 1>were positive, but the grind of that JP that wasn't

0:57:51.920 --> 0:57:56.480
<v Speaker 1>so much fun passed on that one for you put

0:57:56.520 --> 0:57:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you down as exactly. It was a tweet earlier today

0:57:59.680 --> 0:58:03.000
<v Speaker 1>James James Palmer NFL Network put a tweet out earlier today.

0:58:03.120 --> 0:58:08.280
<v Speaker 1>It was one year ago they were recovering joint practices

0:58:08.440 --> 0:58:11.240
<v Speaker 1>between the Ravens and then made a point about Lamar

0:58:11.320 --> 0:58:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Jackson's performances in those days. I was like, this guy

0:58:15.000 --> 0:58:17.560
<v Speaker 1>is is really improved, he looks great as a quarterback. Well,

0:58:17.560 --> 0:58:18.920
<v Speaker 1>he ends up being the m v P in the

0:58:19.000 --> 0:58:21.479
<v Speaker 1>league last year. It's unbelievable. But that was a year ago.

0:58:21.600 --> 0:58:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Today as well, we were in Baltimore practicing against the

0:58:26.800 --> 0:58:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Ravens and those Yeah, I mean that's a well what

0:58:31.600 --> 0:58:35.320
<v Speaker 1>would you like to have that back this year? You know,

0:58:35.440 --> 0:58:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to where Okay, you got your team and are preparing

0:58:38.160 --> 0:58:40.520
<v Speaker 1>for a season, and you're watching your young guys against

0:58:40.560 --> 0:58:43.600
<v Speaker 1>their young guys and things are normal and you're you're

0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:46.480
<v Speaker 1>not worrying about socially distant JT. We're going to the

0:58:46.520 --> 0:58:49.560
<v Speaker 1>local pub across the street to get a burger and

0:58:49.640 --> 0:58:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a beer and maybe some wings. I mean, those days,

0:58:53.240 --> 0:58:56.120
<v Speaker 1>those days, I just wish we had more of them again.

0:58:56.880 --> 0:58:59.960
<v Speaker 1>But JP will just have to maybe have it's happy

0:59:00.000 --> 0:59:02.520
<v Speaker 1>all right. This show is called happy hour. You know,

0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to I have to fill this up

0:59:04.720 --> 0:59:08.280
<v Speaker 1>with something beside sweet tea, and we gotta our own

0:59:08.320 --> 0:59:12.160
<v Speaker 1>little happy hour here going on. Yeah, we might have

0:59:12.280 --> 0:59:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to do that after the show, but you know that's

0:59:20.800 --> 0:59:24.280
