Speaker 1: It's Thursday March. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. And now
Speaker 1: a guy who wants to be just like Coach Marone
Speaker 1: when he grows up. I'm just I'm not sure which
Speaker 1: one I'm talking about, jap and we'll command a Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour from the home studio. You had another week
Speaker 1: away from t I A a bank field JP shattered
Speaker 1: with you. Thank you for joining us. Hope everything's going
Speaker 1: well considering the circumstances for everyone. Thank you for joining
Speaker 1: us today. We've got a jam packed show for you today.
Speaker 1: Here's what's coming up on the program. In fact, it's
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Marone joining us on the phone line.
Speaker 1: Coming up in just a few moments, we'll hear from
Speaker 1: Jaguars analyst Jeff Lockavan get his thoughts on some of
Speaker 1: the latest editions for the Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll switch it
Speaker 1: up a bit and talk music with Derek Truck's, long
Speaker 1: time Jaguars fan, a long time season ticket holder. We'll
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on the Jags of course, and with
Speaker 1: the music industry is going through, and his thoughts on
Speaker 1: the final shows in New York City right before the shutdown.
Speaker 1: And then we'll hear from senior writer John Osier as well.
Speaker 1: They'll join us towards the end of this program about
Speaker 1: four forty five today to recap some of the changes
Speaker 1: with the Jacksonville Jaguars as well. On the phone line now,
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Marone joints US coach, Good afternoon, Thanks
Speaker 1: for the time. How are you. I'm doing well, JP.
Speaker 1: How about yourself? Oh, hanging in there, man, it's um.
Speaker 1: This is obviously an odd time for everybody, but we're
Speaker 1: all working from home right now and getting some things done.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in my side porch room with all this
Speaker 1: radio equipment and doing a show solo. So thanks for
Speaker 1: coming on today. How is the working from home going
Speaker 1: for you and the coaching staff so far? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's been well. I think, you know, because at this
Speaker 1: time of year, we were doing a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: with a playbook, doing a lot of stuff for uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the the draft and prepping forward. Um, they're
Speaker 1: you know, being remotely you know, or working from you know,
Speaker 1: home or things like that have been pretty good. I
Speaker 1: mean the technology is really good. I mean I feel
Speaker 1: like I I've actually gotten more done now watch more
Speaker 1: players and I have you know, if I had been
Speaker 1: in the office and you know people were asking, you know,
Speaker 1: questions or you have to do a couple of things,
Speaker 1: you get pulled away for a while. So I've been
Speaker 1: able to really work hard at it. The coaches are
Speaker 1: working hard at it UM and feel, you know, feel
Speaker 1: good about where we are right now as far as
Speaker 1: our evaluations, the playbook and you know, getting everything ready
Speaker 1: for UM. You know, when we can you know, defeat
Speaker 1: this challenge that's going on for all of us right now.
Speaker 1: Doug Brown, with US Jaguar's head coach, how do you
Speaker 1: have Do you have full staff meetings like on Zoom
Speaker 1: or Skype or something like that. You know, we can
Speaker 1: do that, but pretty much everyone's doing things individually and
Speaker 1: things are getting passed around, so you know, just to
Speaker 1: put everyone on there. We have you know, basically TeamWorks
Speaker 1: technology which gets into every all the coaches and you know,
Speaker 1: getting every communication is fine. I mean you coul always
Speaker 1: just obviously pick up the phone, but you know, on
Speaker 1: a daily basis, you know, we're working with amongst each
Speaker 1: other and getting things done and being productive. There's a balance, coach,
Speaker 1: of course, between work life and home life. When you're
Speaker 1: working at home. How much of a challenge has that
Speaker 1: been for you? And how's it been just in the
Speaker 1: environment at the house with the wife and the kids
Speaker 1: running around and everything. I think they get concerned when
Speaker 1: I'm around, but they're always like, hey, don't you need
Speaker 1: to be working once you get in this office, to
Speaker 1: get in this room and you know, go to work
Speaker 1: and get on it, you know. So I think they
Speaker 1: want me out. I think it's more, you know, they
Speaker 1: wanted me out and putting me in isolation to get
Speaker 1: this work done. So I don't airlines. It's that. That's
Speaker 1: quoting quoting that. Sure, it's a challenge for everybody stay
Speaker 1: in shape this time too, right, I mean you gotta
Speaker 1: get out and get a little exercise in and get
Speaker 1: the blood moving a little bit. You can't just sit
Speaker 1: there and watch film all day long. Right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been out. I don't know. I mean, I it's
Speaker 1: exercise for me. I don't know if people have seen me.
Speaker 1: I think it's exercise, you know, trying to you know,
Speaker 1: lose weight. Everyone knows that that's what I'm trying to,
Speaker 1: you know, get done. And it's uh, it's been interesting.
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes someone will say go jag and don't
Speaker 1: someone will yellow on the explicit and you know, like
Speaker 1: you know, go fat, you know, and you know after that.
Speaker 1: So I'm working on, you know, reducing the second the
Speaker 1: second comments and concentrating on the first one so they
Speaker 1: can say in a couple of months that man, boy,
Speaker 1: look how much good ship that guy has gottenselves into.
Speaker 1: It's a rough neighborhood, coach. Let me tell you. Let
Speaker 1: me just moved into here. Let's talk some of the
Speaker 1: additions in free agency over the last few days. Let's
Speaker 1: start with the most recent, Tyler Eifford, tight end from Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: a former first round pick. And you know this is
Speaker 1: a position obviously you know, well that has been um
Speaker 1: just a little bit of the thorn in the side
Speaker 1: of the football team over the last five six years
Speaker 1: or so. Hasn't quite been able to to get it right.
Speaker 1: It's been injury prone at times. I effort played a
Speaker 1: full season last year. That's the key for him. If
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, what can he do for your football team? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I really liked him. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: both myself and Jay and Ron Middleton, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: we watched them and obviously our scouting department of days.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you know, we watched him. He's a he's
Speaker 1: a He's a veteran player that has does a very
Speaker 1: good job. He's stressed to feel vertically, Um, make the
Speaker 1: tough catches. He has uh that savvy to him where
Speaker 1: he can use the body, use his hands to you know,
Speaker 1: get himself open. He's a really good route runner with
Speaker 1: a full route tree, which is obviously gonna help us.
Speaker 1: He's the guy who play you know, the white hunting
Speaker 1: on normal downs and definitely, um, you know, be able
Speaker 1: to get in there and mix it up, you know,
Speaker 1: in combinations with the lineman or working one on one
Speaker 1: with linebackers. So, um, you know, it was great conversation,
Speaker 1: you know, talking to him, he feels great. He's excited. Um,
Speaker 1: he said, this is know, like you've mentioned before, this
Speaker 1: is the first off season where he hasn't had to
Speaker 1: worry about injury and he can get himself ready to go. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, we're excited. And I think someone like Tyler
Speaker 1: Bill bring you some veteran presence and help a guy
Speaker 1: like Josh Oliver come along and we feel really good
Speaker 1: about um. James O'Shaughnessy was really playing well. Obviously before
Speaker 1: his injury. Uh, you know, so that that position, you know,
Speaker 1: we feel good about. And then you know, obviously Charles
Speaker 1: Davis did a good job for us, you know at
Speaker 1: the end and showing that he can block as as
Speaker 1: a true why and um, you know, so so that
Speaker 1: position is coming together. You know, we still got some
Speaker 1: work to do, but you right now we're working in
Speaker 1: the right direction. That coach Dug maron with us on
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours, wanting us on the phone line. You know,
Speaker 1: I mentioned he's a former first round pick, and that
Speaker 1: just popped to my head. And I saw the staft
Speaker 1: the other day about the Atlanta Falcons. They could have
Speaker 1: ten former first round picks starting on offense next year,
Speaker 1: most ever for a team in the NFL. Is there
Speaker 1: something to that? Coach, If a guy as a first rounder,
Speaker 1: he's got to have something no matter how, you know,
Speaker 1: far down the line, maybe injury, proney might be there's
Speaker 1: a reason why these guys are drafted so high a
Speaker 1: lot of times, right yeah, you know, I, you know,
Speaker 1: I I don't disagree with that. Obviously, they've had a
Speaker 1: good career in college and they have obviously the skill
Speaker 1: set that is going to put them into that round.
Speaker 1: So you get most of those guys that are our
Speaker 1: first rounders, you know, get pushed by you know, the
Speaker 1: coaches and the scouting staff, you know, where everyone can
Speaker 1: make it an agreement on UM. I tend to differ
Speaker 1: a little bit. Now. I haven't been around the league where,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times I try to say
Speaker 1: to myself when the players first show up, is you know,
Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter how you were acquired, meaning you know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you're a first round pick, you know,
Speaker 1: seventh round pick, unrestricted free agent, you know, free agents
Speaker 1: that we have gotten. You know, now you have to
Speaker 1: prove that you're gonna be good enough and play in
Speaker 1: this league and play for this team. So um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's the one thing. If you come in
Speaker 1: and you think about where you've been drafted and I'm
Speaker 1: in the first or you think you're gonna come into
Speaker 1: this league and you know, just quickly dominate right off
Speaker 1: the bat, I think. I think, I think there's you're
Speaker 1: gonna be in some for for some tough challenges and
Speaker 1: and and probably some struggles. But you know, if you
Speaker 1: come in there and everything's on the line, because like
Speaker 1: we've seen even with our team. Um, you know, some
Speaker 1: of these guys that haven't been drafted have been able
Speaker 1: to go out there and play at a high level.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's that's what happened. And if you're
Speaker 1: you know, you're sleeping in this league, so one will
Speaker 1: come up and uh and take their job from you.
Speaker 1: Everyone everyone's fighting for a job. Head coach jug Marone
Speaker 1: with us on the defensive side, obviously, last year there
Speaker 1: was that long stretch of games where the defense struggled
Speaker 1: against the run a lot of times right up the
Speaker 1: middle of the defense. But at least early in free agency,
Speaker 1: it seems like that's been a point of emphasis. Joe Schobert,
Speaker 1: middle linebacker is in al Wood's a big run stuff
Speaker 1: for a defensive tackle from Seattle, long time in the league.
Speaker 1: Rodney Gunter even will compete for some time up there upfront.
Speaker 1: It seemed like that was an emphasis on defense, the
Speaker 1: shoring up the middle and the and the defensive line
Speaker 1: a little bit. But well, I think you know, when
Speaker 1: we look at you know, obviously during the season you
Speaker 1: mentioned it, but then after the season, when you're looking
Speaker 1: you know, at better in your football team and you
Speaker 1: start writing some things down, you know, obviously ourselves, the coaches,
Speaker 1: the scouts and myself along with Dave. You know, we
Speaker 1: talked about, okay, listen, how are we gonna you know,
Speaker 1: let's get some people in here that are you know,
Speaker 1: that can just spend the run and stop the run,
Speaker 1: you know, that can make the tackle, you know, because
Speaker 1: tackling is obviously a big thing, and you know that's
Speaker 1: where we looked at it. There's some big body guys
Speaker 1: that can move well. We feel confident that we have
Speaker 1: obviously a couple of good guys, you know. Obviously it's
Speaker 1: good pass rushes with you know, Yannick and Josh and
Speaker 1: you know, Smooth came along, you know for us Laurente.
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully we'll be able to give us some
Speaker 1: help out there. Um. But then we got some big
Speaker 1: body guys to go ahead and hold the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: And I think it's gonna help us. I think we
Speaker 1: made a move with Joe Shober that Mike that you
Speaker 1: know enables us now to move miles to Will, which
Speaker 1: you know he's played all three positions well, but Will
Speaker 1: probably his most natural positions. So we feel we're gonna
Speaker 1: get you know, better play at a out of you know,
Speaker 1: the whole linebacker crew, and a guy that catches Marsha
Speaker 1: comes in and he's a guy that can play up,
Speaker 1: play down. We're looking for a path rush out of
Speaker 1: him can play Sam backer. So you know, there's some versatility,
Speaker 1: and there's some versatility along the line with those defensive
Speaker 1: linemen that you mentioned too. You mentioned the move of
Speaker 1: Miles Jacket. I heard on an interview with Ashton Sullivan
Speaker 1: earlier in the week that gets you spoke with him,
Speaker 1: and it seemed like a positive move for Miles that
Speaker 1: he was into it as well. How much of a
Speaker 1: change will that be for Miles from the middle to
Speaker 1: the weak side. How difficult is that transition for a linebacker.
Speaker 1: I think I think the toughest one is going to
Speaker 1: the middle, you know, I mean, I think you're good
Speaker 1: playing on the outside. You know, Miles Cannon played really
Speaker 1: well the first year of Sam's played really well at
Speaker 1: Mike and Nickel, you know, for us, and then obviously
Speaker 1: we had you know, Telvion Smith playing the wheel and um,
Speaker 1: you know, because we had pleased in the middle, and
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the middle probably is the one
Speaker 1: that got to you know, the most experienced because you
Speaker 1: got this triangle where you know, you're kind of looking
Speaker 1: at the center and both guards, and you have to
Speaker 1: you know, the backs in the backfield and you have
Speaker 1: the quarterback, so you have all these things that you
Speaker 1: have to be aware of and you know, very stinctual.
Speaker 1: And Miles did a good job. I mean it's not
Speaker 1: like he did it. He was you know, I think
Speaker 1: what was challenging or what was challenging for Miles is
Speaker 1: challenging for all players that you know are our veteran
Speaker 1: type players and you get put into a situation where
Speaker 1: you have a lot of young guys around here and
Speaker 1: you're you're doing your best because you care about your
Speaker 1: team and you're trying to line those guys up, and
Speaker 1: you know, I think it takes away a little bit.
Speaker 1: So I think I'll be able to go to that
Speaker 1: world position, which is really the same type of position
Speaker 1: and Nickel as as as as the mic position. You know,
Speaker 1: they're both you know obviously off the off the line linebackers,
Speaker 1: but you know in in in where we need to
Speaker 1: stop the run, you know, we'll have you know, three
Speaker 1: physical linebackers now at that level being able to come
Speaker 1: downhill and and be able to tackle Doug Brown with
Speaker 1: a Jaguar's head coach final thought here, Doug were four
Speaker 1: weeks away from the scheduled start of the NFL Draft tonight.
Speaker 1: How about that? What's your balance of time now free agency?
Speaker 1: Is it kind of winding down? Are you leaning back
Speaker 1: towards the draft looking at I think you're always I
Speaker 1: think you're always looking at better the team. You know,
Speaker 1: you say, you know we're going through list, We're looking
Speaker 1: at guys where you know you kind of you know,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure. I think there's still value
Speaker 1: out there, you know in free agency, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and there's some risk rewards out there, you know, guys
Speaker 1: that have had an injury history. So I think you
Speaker 1: gotta constantly keep doing that. Um, you know, Dave and
Speaker 1: and and his scouts has done a great job, you know,
Speaker 1: looking at you know, what the draft has to offer. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we have a lot of picks. Who's gonna be a
Speaker 1: young football team. You know, we brought in some guys
Speaker 1: that are real high character guys. Um, you know, the
Speaker 1: the real very beneficial for you know a lot of
Speaker 1: these young guys coming in. So you know, there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement right now, as far as you know,
Speaker 1: the guys that are on the team, you know, talking
Speaker 1: today and just calling and making sure that says you know,
Speaker 1: they're excited about the things that we're doing and you know,
Speaker 1: getting back together and going to work. What coach, if
Speaker 1: I you running by, I'll yell at you. I won't
Speaker 1: tell you which side I'll yell at you from, but
Speaker 1: good yeah, I mean you better be on the on
Speaker 1: the first one that I'm gonna go Jags side. Okay,
Speaker 1: you talking about like, hey, you need you need some
Speaker 1: type of inspiration, right, I mean if I can inspire you,
Speaker 1: what can't That's true? Uh, stay healthy, keep up the
Speaker 1: great work. Thanks for the time, coach. We appreciate it.

Speaker 1: have about the upcoming season let's go back to the
Speaker 1: phone lines now and welcome in our co host for
Speaker 1: this program, Jaguars analyst Jeff Logoman. Jeff good you neon JP.
Speaker 1: How you doing hanging in there? How are you? I'm
Speaker 1: doing good. You know, sometimes a little social distancing is strange.
Speaker 1: It as it as it is, sometimes works out well
Speaker 1: for Turkey Hunt, and so you know now, but it's
Speaker 1: it's certainly crazy. It's it's a different world that we
Speaker 1: live in. And I think it even becomes a little
Speaker 1: bit more poignant when you have somebody that you directly
Speaker 1: know that's affected by it. And and I think a
Speaker 1: lot of us haven't reached that point yet, but they're
Speaker 1: starting to show signs to where you're having somebody that
Speaker 1: you know personally impacted. And up until this past week,
Speaker 1: you know, I was always a friend of a friend
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. And I've got, in fact, one
Speaker 1: of my good friends in New York who's right there
Speaker 1: in the epicenter of it all. One of his best
Speaker 1: friends that he went to college with, has a twenty
Speaker 1: five year old son who is basically on life support
Speaker 1: right now and doesn't know if he's gonna make it.
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's it's different, and it's it's certainly
Speaker 1: very scary, that's for sure. And I hope that everybody
Speaker 1: is safe and everybody is taking care of all the
Speaker 1: directives that are being given to them by a lot
Speaker 1: of the healthcare experts on the field, because if you don't, boy,
Speaker 1: you're certainly making a big mistake that could cost lives.
Speaker 1: Wash your hands, work from home, if you can stay
Speaker 1: at home, and we'll get through all this together, for sure,
Speaker 1: we'll be here. Part of that JP brings me and
Speaker 1: I know we're going to talk a little bit of
Speaker 1: the free agent acquisitions with the Jaguars. Part of that
Speaker 1: conversation also brings me to the fact of we're all
Speaker 1: I mean, as a society now, we're all kind of
Speaker 1: whole enough in our own houses and limiting contact with people.
Speaker 1: We're not accessing a lot of the places that we
Speaker 1: normally do, whether it be restaurants, minimizing the grocery stores.
Speaker 1: A lot of time to go to the grocery stores.
Speaker 1: There's things that you can't get either are sold out
Speaker 1: or in short supply. The social contact that you may
Speaker 1: have going to movie theaters is different, and most importantly
Speaker 1: kind of how it relates to football. The athletic facilities
Speaker 1: are closed. So you have an entire league in the
Speaker 1: NFL that has relied upon all season conditioning workouts to
Speaker 1: tune the body to get it ready for the demands
Speaker 1: of an NFL season. And right now you have all
Speaker 1: teams in the National Football League that had to have
Speaker 1: their doors closed. The local gyms for the most part
Speaker 1: have their doors closed. So what are players doing to
Speaker 1: try to to stay in shape and to get ready
Speaker 1: for an NFL season, to take that next step as
Speaker 1: a football player? I can tell you you know, in
Speaker 1: this last week, you know, the most players are probably
Speaker 1: trying to outfit their homes to they can work out
Speaker 1: on their own. And and holy time, I've talked to
Speaker 1: a couple of different people that are are in that
Speaker 1: field that deal in health equipment, whether it be weights
Speaker 1: or aerobic equipment and or JP. I this week tried
Speaker 1: to buy a little home Jim system and was on
Speaker 1: a couple of different sites, you know, one of these
Speaker 1: Facebook marketplace, another one was on Craigslist. And it's amazing
Speaker 1: to demand. It was so immense that this stuff is
Speaker 1: literally flying off the shell, so to speaking. And I
Speaker 1: talked to with a guy who deals in in the
Speaker 1: big equipment like like Jim equipment, like heavy duty stuff
Speaker 1: that an NFL player would use. And he flat out
Speaker 1: told me because I don't have any barbells, I don't
Speaker 1: have any weights, I don't have any numbells, I don't
Speaker 1: have any anything. I'm like, are you kidding me? He
Speaker 1: said no. So here I am sitting there and thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, boy, I mean, that's changed my life because
Speaker 1: you know, I like to work out, and but what
Speaker 1: about an NFL player who has to trying to get
Speaker 1: himself ready for an NFL season? That's right. Joe Schobert,
Speaker 1: I think, tweeted a picture today or on Instagram one
Speaker 1: of the two of his Barbelle and weight free weight
Speaker 1: set up in the basement of his in laws house
Speaker 1: because they're there right now. That's the only place they
Speaker 1: have to do it. And then he'll go run occasionally
Speaker 1: when he can, but uh, that's what he has to do.
Speaker 1: It's there's a couch next to it and a TV
Speaker 1: in a living room down in the basement. That's what
Speaker 1: some players are having to go through right now. Jeff
Speaker 1: Logman with us on the phone line Jaguars analysts. There
Speaker 1: have been some additions since we last spoke on this program, Logs.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the tight end that's the most recent one,
Speaker 1: Tyler Ivort. He's been banged up a lot throughout his career.
Speaker 1: He did have a Pro Bowl season a few years back,
Speaker 1: and he finally played a full season of football last year,
Speaker 1: all sixteen games with the Cincinnati Bengals, former first round pick.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's the answer at tied end.
Speaker 1: I think he's part of the answer at tight end.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, is he going to be available?
Speaker 1: I mean that's the h He could be the answer
Speaker 1: if he's available. I think what Doug talked about a
Speaker 1: minute ago about how you get into risk reward with
Speaker 1: some players in free agency, and I think he's a
Speaker 1: perfect example of that, and that the risk is he's
Speaker 1: been hurt a lot. Yes, he played sixteen game last year,
Speaker 1: but what that's the first time he played sixteen games
Speaker 1: and how many seasons. So, uh so your expectation, you
Speaker 1: probably don't have high expectations other than you you sit
Speaker 1: there and you go, look, if he can be available
Speaker 1: for us, he can be certainly better than what we have.
Speaker 1: And so so that took positive from that word partis,
Speaker 1: but if I look this as a guy who has
Speaker 1: or has shown Pro Bowl caliber type skills when he's
Speaker 1: been on the field, and you just hope across your
Speaker 1: fingers that he can stay on the field for the
Speaker 1: Jaguars football team, because that position has certainly been one
Speaker 1: that has been a little bit of a mystery as
Speaker 1: far as this team trying to solve over the last
Speaker 1: six seven years. They just haven't. They've thrown so much
Speaker 1: money at it, they've thrown draft equity at it um
Speaker 1: and still some question marks there. Him and Oliver together,
Speaker 1: if they're both healthy, that's another question mark too. You
Speaker 1: feel like that could be one of the answers at
Speaker 1: tight end. Now. The other editions this week logs include
Speaker 1: some defensive lineman. Al Wood's a big nose tackle defensive
Speaker 1: tackle from Seattle, and we mentioned Gunter last week. I
Speaker 1: think he's part of that situation upfront. Cassius marsh the
Speaker 1: outside linebacker and defensive end from Arizona as well, and
Speaker 1: Rashaan Melvin, a cornerback from Detroit, So a number of
Speaker 1: defensive additions here. Al Woods is a run stuffing defensive
Speaker 1: tackle and this is what that team on the defensive side.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars needed last year somebody who can help stop
Speaker 1: that run. Well, I think I think all of these
Speaker 1: guys I would I would put the category of solid.
Speaker 1: And when I say solid, it means that you've had
Speaker 1: some subtractions from your roster because the salary cap reasons
Speaker 1: already And so essentially what you're doing is you're replacing
Speaker 1: those players that had high cap numbers that weren't playing
Speaker 1: quite to the level of those cat numbers with solid
Speaker 1: players that are affordable players. So I think it makes
Speaker 1: you feel good. And then Okay, now you're starting to
Speaker 1: acquire some players to fill some holes. But at the
Speaker 1: same token, are these going to be the type of
Speaker 1: players that help you get better than you were last year?
Speaker 1: You know? And I think that the honest answers of
Speaker 1: that is probably not yet. You know that these are
Speaker 1: the type of players like for example, Ty al Right,
Speaker 1: it's the guy that could probably help you be better
Speaker 1: because if he plays at the level that he's played
Speaker 1: out and he stays healthy, it can be better than
Speaker 1: what you've had. And the signing of wood Goods and
Speaker 1: marsh and all those guys, uh be at the level
Speaker 1: of what you had last year or better. I would
Speaker 1: expect it to be maybe close to where you're at.
Speaker 1: Could it be better? Probably not, But you know, look
Speaker 1: right now, you just need to get the solid basics
Speaker 1: down and get your roster filled. I think the real
Speaker 1: improve on this football team is going to happen in
Speaker 1: the draft. And I also think the real improvement of
Speaker 1: this football team is that when some guys in free
Speaker 1: agency that are still out there now, because there's some
Speaker 1: there's still some good ones out there, but they're they're
Speaker 1: asking price has to come down to where the the
Speaker 1: value is meeting the demand. And so I think I
Speaker 1: think you'll have some the more additions to this football
Speaker 1: team to give this team a chance to get better.
Speaker 1: And I think this team has gotten better because it
Speaker 1: got worse because you cut all those players. Okay, so
Speaker 1: now you're kind of back at at the baseline. Where
Speaker 1: do you go from here? Jeff with us this little
Speaker 1: bit earlier, the Jaguars announced that dar Quiz Denard, that
Speaker 1: free agent agreed to player from last week. The cornerback
Speaker 1: will not be signing with the Jags as the two
Speaker 1: sides could not come to an agreement on the final
Speaker 1: contract terms, so he remains an unrestricted free agent. So
Speaker 1: that's one you know, until it signed, there's no contract
Speaker 1: defending on that that. I thought Denard was a guy
Speaker 1: that I would have put him in the category of,
Speaker 1: you know, he could really help this football team. He's
Speaker 1: a veteran guy. He's been a good football player for
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. I know they thought very highly of him,
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the sticking point or the
Speaker 1: argument was as far as the contract, but you know, look,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if the door is not closed yet.
Speaker 1: It's just that sometimes things take a little bit longer
Speaker 1: to work out and get them two ironed out to
Speaker 1: the point that both sides are happy. So even though
Speaker 1: the team is announced and everybody's announced that it's not done,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's necessarily off the table. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so until these signs with somebody else, there's still
Speaker 1: a chance that the Jaguars people might be able to
Speaker 1: still have them. All right, logs, great stuff. As always,
Speaker 1: we'll check in again with you next week, and happy
Speaker 1: hunting for Turkey. Shoot straight, Thank you, JP, and stay
Speaker 1: safe and everybody else do the same and make sure

Speaker 1: the home studio. The Jaguars and all NFL offices are

Speaker 1: Skype is still a thing, so we're doing interviews over
Speaker 1: Skype for Jaguars dot Com with some of the free
Speaker 1: agent editions and everything that's happened over the last week
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars. You've seen some of that content
Speaker 1: on the team website and team social media pages today.
Speaker 1: Earlier had a chance to to go off football for
Speaker 1: a little bit with Derek Trucks from the Tansky Trucks
Speaker 1: Band and the Allman Brothers Band. Uh a Jaguar season
Speaker 1: ticket member from really from day one. The families had
Speaker 1: tickets from day one. He took him over a few
Speaker 1: years ago. UM, we'll get his thoughts on the Jags
Speaker 1: of course coming up and his shows. He was part
Speaker 1: of the Allman Brothers tribute show on March tenth at
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden in New York City and then had
Speaker 1: a benefit concert two nights later at the Beacon Theater
Speaker 1: in New York. That was the day that New York
Speaker 1: shut down any uh, any events from five hundred or
Speaker 1: more people. So he was right there the last couple
Speaker 1: of shows before New York really shut down. Here's the
Speaker 1: conversation today with the Great Derek Trucks. Strange time for
Speaker 1: everybody right now, Derek. Obviously we'll get into what the
Speaker 1: band's up to these days and and what your last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks have been like and what's ahead, But
Speaker 1: let's talk a little Jacks football. I know you follow
Speaker 1: it closely. This is free agency, a bandful of trades,
Speaker 1: one that hasn't been finalized yet, the fulls one, um,
Speaker 1: but a lot of new faces coming in here. What
Speaker 1: are you most excited about over the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks with the Jags. I mean, there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of draft picks. That's always exciting. Um, Tyler ipord is
Speaker 1: pretty exciting. We've uh, we've we've needed a good tight
Speaker 1: end for a long time. A lot of unknowns though,
Speaker 1: but that seems to be uh the planet we live
Speaker 1: on currently, so maybe maybe that'll work in our favorite
Speaker 1: everyone's excited about Minshew still, so that's uh, that's fun.
Speaker 1: It seems like it's his job for now since the
Speaker 1: fulls trade whenever it does become final. Uhn at least
Speaker 1: right now is the man that sure seems that way
Speaker 1: and uh, I mean that's uh, it's something to it's
Speaker 1: something to get behind him. I'm with that. And um,
Speaker 1: no telling when draft rols around where we're gonna end
Speaker 1: up quarterback wise, but I think he's at least he's
Speaker 1: in the running. So that's fun. A lot of big
Speaker 1: time names over the last couple of years are no
Speaker 1: longer on this defense, but you do have guys still around.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen going into his second year, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: excited thing to watch Miles Jacks moving to the outside again. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where he likes it. I think that's gonna be
Speaker 1: good for Miles. Yeah, I think so too. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's sad to see Klas go. He was he was
Speaker 1: one of the most lovable characters we've ever had and
Speaker 1: one of the best players I've ever had. So it's
Speaker 1: sad to see him go. A lot a lot of faces,
Speaker 1: uh over the last two years, a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of studs that are gone. So that's a that's crazy,
Speaker 1: but it's uh, you know, it's a new day. It's
Speaker 1: a new day. You've been a season ticket member, Derek
Speaker 1: U for since day one, right, pretty much the family
Speaker 1: has been right, Yeah, No, my dad was there, he
Speaker 1: had tickets for the first maybe five eight years, and
Speaker 1: then we kind of took it over and we've we've
Speaker 1: bounced around the stadium different spots, but we've uh, we've
Speaker 1: always gone. But my son, Charlie Is has gone every
Speaker 1: year since birth really, so he's uh, he grew up
Speaker 1: in that stadium. Derek trucks with us on Jaguars Happy Hour. Um, Derek,
Speaker 1: let's get into music a little bit. There was an
Speaker 1: article on the Rolling Stone website not too long ago,
Speaker 1: a few days back, about a week ago, and they
Speaker 1: interviewed you about the days leading up to the lockdown
Speaker 1: and the coronavirus scare and everything that was happening at
Speaker 1: that time. You were involved in really the last couple
Speaker 1: of shows in New York before the lockdown, the Almond
Speaker 1: Brothers tribute show at Madison Square Garden, a sell out there,
Speaker 1: and then I think the next night you were at
Speaker 1: the Beacon or two nights later at the Beacon Um.
Speaker 1: That had to be some strange times when everything was
Speaker 1: starting to set in in New York and you were
Speaker 1: basically the last last resort for people to get out
Speaker 1: of the house. It felt like, yeah, I mean it was.
Speaker 1: It was an odd time because you could feel like
Speaker 1: coming and you know, there were whispers that everything was
Speaker 1: gonna shut down, and um, you're kind of torn between.
Speaker 1: Uh we really wanted during thousand people into together, but
Speaker 1: um the show went on, and uh the show was amazing.
Speaker 1: That the show two nights later the Beacon was much
Speaker 1: stranger because they that was day they put in the
Speaker 1: no crowds over five hundred people uh rule into effect
Speaker 1: and uh so they had the Beacon Theater with maybe
Speaker 1: three d people in it, and it it just it
Speaker 1: felt like the last party before the end of the world.
Speaker 1: It was a little odd. And then unfortunately, I think,
Speaker 1: um five six people that were either playing or work
Speaker 1: in that show. I've already tested positives. So it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's yeah Jackson Brown who Susan saying a duet with
Speaker 1: that night, and um, a bunch of the band and
Speaker 1: it's it's a little, uh a little odd. I had
Speaker 1: a bad feeling about that one. I tried to I
Speaker 1: tried to get that show pulled, but uh not everyone
Speaker 1: was on board. How's everybody feeling now, Um, right, we
Speaker 1: you know, as soon as we got home from New York,
Speaker 1: we went into full self quarantine mode. We had a
Speaker 1: feeling that, uh that New York was gonna be bad
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, our parents lived down the street
Speaker 1: and my grandfather's down the roads. So we we've made
Speaker 1: we've stayed away from everybody. Um, we've had symptoms, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's about a coin flip on whether we
Speaker 1: had it or not. But no reason to attack the
Speaker 1: healthcare system. If if you're feeling, you know, you're just
Speaker 1: gonna self quarantine anyways, if you don't need to be uh,
Speaker 1: if you don't need a hospital bed. So we're we're okay,
Speaker 1: feeling better by the day. But I think I think
Speaker 1: we made it through it and uh maybe our antibodies
Speaker 1: are a little better now. We'll see. But avoid your
Speaker 1: parents and wash your hands. Good advice, Thank you, Derek.
Speaker 1: That's uh, that's great advice. Derek Trucks with this from
Speaker 1: Tdusky Truck's band. Well, this was a downtime for the
Speaker 1: band anyway. You guys have not had any shows planned
Speaker 1: until the Dailies play show coming up in June, so
Speaker 1: at least in that regard. The band schedule hasn't changed
Speaker 1: too much. But um, have you caught up with the
Speaker 1: rest of the group. I know they're scattered all over
Speaker 1: the country. How's everybody doing and what are kind of
Speaker 1: the plans now in the next the coming months ahead
Speaker 1: for the band themselves. You know, it's it's pretty wild
Speaker 1: because we we planned our biggest break uh, that we've
Speaker 1: ever had as a band, and probably I've ever had
Speaker 1: a professional musician. Um. That started on March twelfth and
Speaker 1: goes about three months. So in some ways, our time,
Speaker 1: he couldn't be better. Um, but it's an odd time
Speaker 1: and we've definitely been checking in with everybody. Everyone's feeling
Speaker 1: pretty good. Mark Rivers one of our singers, he was
Speaker 1: he was a part of that gig at the Beacon too,
Speaker 1: in in that band, and he was sitting next to
Speaker 1: somebody that tested positives. And everyone's a little uh, you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's home and doing their thing. But I think everyone's
Speaker 1: enjoying the family time. I mean I've had I've had
Speaker 1: more time with both kids and my wife together than
Speaker 1: I can remember. I mean, they're they're forced to stay
Speaker 1: home with us, which is pretty amazing. So we're enjoying it.
Speaker 1: We're you know, hitting the practice golf balls around the
Speaker 1: backyard and fishing in the creek and we're we're we're
Speaker 1: enjoying it. I mean it's probably gonna get weirder before
Speaker 1: it gets better, but so far, so good to make
Speaker 1: the silver lining is is certainly there. Derek Trucks with
Speaker 1: us from Tedesky Trucks Band. Now, is this a time
Speaker 1: where did you have plans to to get back in
Speaker 1: the studio in this time? Anyway, now that you're kind
Speaker 1: of quarantined near your studio, you might as well get
Speaker 1: back in there, right, Yeah, I mean this this was
Speaker 1: actually a break when we were gonna not do anything.
Speaker 1: You know, we're probably gonna go fishing a lot and
Speaker 1: take the boat out. But uh, it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of nice being stuck to the other studio and
Speaker 1: I've been picking up an instrument the last few days
Speaker 1: and getting back to it. I think there'll be a lot,
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of songs written at this time,
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe people shedding and practice and maybe
Speaker 1: we'll get better. Now coming up on on your website
Speaker 1: to Dusky Trucks Band dot com. And on the YouTube
Speaker 1: page T t B from the Road, I believe it's
Speaker 1: each Thursday, you guys are putting out webcast from an
Speaker 1: old concert through the NUGS TV. Guys, Um, where did
Speaker 1: that idea come about? And how do you go about
Speaker 1: choosing the concerts? Are you involved in that? And and
Speaker 1: how is that done? Um? I mean, we we have
Speaker 1: a guy, his name is uh I think you met
Speaker 1: in Mark Lowenstein. He's been with me and my solo band, UM,
Speaker 1: I guess probably fifteen or so years now, so he's
Speaker 1: got a pretty good handle on on what what's good
Speaker 1: and what shows have been interesting over the years. So
Speaker 1: I leave most of it to him. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: he runs it bias, but I'm not gonna sit through
Speaker 1: and watch the whole show, and I kind of have
Speaker 1: to trust him. But I love the idea of uh,
Speaker 1: just releasing something every week and just uh, you know,
Speaker 1: letting people kind of hear what's been going on. And
Speaker 1: we've you know, we've recorded a lot of stuff like
Speaker 1: professionally shot over the years that just kind of archive
Speaker 1: at this point, so it's a nice way to dig
Speaker 1: back in. I watched a clip of Susan and Sharon
Speaker 1: Jones who we've lost a few years ago. It was
Speaker 1: good to see her and hear her again. And I
Speaker 1: think Doyle bram Hall was on that clip. So've I've checked,
Speaker 1: uh checked a few of them out. I've a hard
Speaker 1: time watching uh myself play very often, but the cameras
Speaker 1: on them, I'm totally down. Like Derek Trucks with Us,
Speaker 1: you don't go back and review the tape like football team.
Speaker 1: Come on, you know. I do when it's bad. I
Speaker 1: do when it's bad, but the good shows you just
Speaker 1: you kind of let you. You let him go. I
Speaker 1: don't want to know if they were not as good
Speaker 1: as I thought they were. But yeah, when sometimes when
Speaker 1: you have an off night, I'll go back and listen
Speaker 1: and try to figure out there's anything they can be changed.
Speaker 1: Some nights are just off nights, and you just let him.
Speaker 1: You know, you learn and you grow, and um, you
Speaker 1: gotta have the bad nights. That's uh, that's what makes
Speaker 1: it honest. There's plenty of bands that sound the same
Speaker 1: every night. I'm not interested in that Derek Trucks with Us.
Speaker 1: You know, I realized this morning when we were getting
Speaker 1: ready to do this, um that today is March and
Speaker 1: it is the anniversary of the first Almond Brothers Jam
Speaker 1: session on Riverside Avenue at that Gray House. How about that?
Speaker 1: Pretty wild? You know when we did the that um
Speaker 1: and show it Madison Square, we had Reese Winan's there
Speaker 1: and uh, he was the keyboard player before Grey at
Speaker 1: that house here in Jacksonville. UM, so that I guess
Speaker 1: it was about a year ago. I guess it was
Speaker 1: a year ago. Today they dedicated Uh, there's a there's
Speaker 1: a marker out in front of that house, and my
Speaker 1: parents called me. I went over there and hung with him,
Speaker 1: and I remember reading that, reading the sign, and it's
Speaker 1: kind of jogging my memory that Reese was the first
Speaker 1: guy and that's that's kind of why we called him
Speaker 1: for the m mess G show. So it's good I
Speaker 1: went over there. Pretty cool, kind of odd. That's today,
Speaker 1: of all days. Smart. Some final thoughts here, Derek. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get through this thing, right um, the music businesses,
Speaker 1: the sports business is it's tough right now. We're all
Speaker 1: kind of in this thing together, and and how we're
Speaker 1: gonna move forward once we get past this. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's an interesting time. I mean, me
Speaker 1: and Sue have been talking about it a lot. I mean,
Speaker 1: we are incredibly fortunate where we were in a position
Speaker 1: where we can kind of weather the storm and we've
Speaker 1: kind of prepared for it, not knowing, not knowing what
Speaker 1: it was gonna be. But this, this break kind of
Speaker 1: fell in a perfect spot for us. But a lot
Speaker 1: I know a lot of other people musicians, um, you know,
Speaker 1: people in all all different different careers that are not
Speaker 1: so lucky. So it's gonna be it's gonna be bumpy
Speaker 1: for a minute, but you know, we we always find
Speaker 1: a way to bounce back, that's for sure. And I
Speaker 1: think I think with music, I think once people are
Speaker 1: able to get back out, I think people are gonna
Speaker 1: be hungry for it. So um. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I think everyone has to, uh you know, kind of
Speaker 1: enjoy the time while you have it. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: it kind of puts things in perspective. You you start
Speaker 1: reaching out to your friends and you start thinking, uh
Speaker 1: kind of slows everything down, you start thinking about what's
Speaker 1: important to you. So I think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot to be taken from it. Um. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be rough, and it's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we have we have parents that are older. We have
Speaker 1: people who really have to be careful with so uh
Speaker 1: so I think that's the important part. And uh, we're
Speaker 1: certainly gonna get out the other end of it. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about that. It's just
Speaker 1: how how stir crazy everybody goes in the big time.
Speaker 1: But take a walk, you know, do some pushups. I
Speaker 1: think we'll all be and and stay away from your
Speaker 1: parents and wash your hands as you see. You know,
Speaker 1: it's funny. My grandfather is a hundred. He's a World
Speaker 1: War two head, and you know, we go see him
Speaker 1: when we're home two or three times a week, so
Speaker 1: it's it's odd not getting to see him. But I
Speaker 1: think about him a lot, and I think about what
Speaker 1: his generation went through and how soft and whiny we are,
Speaker 1: like we're asked to like sit on our our assets
Speaker 1: and we just we're really having a hard time with it.
Speaker 1: So I'm enjoying it. I'm trying to make the best
Speaker 1: of it. But we we got this. I think we
Speaker 1: got this, Derek, great stuff, man, Really appreciate your time,
Speaker 1: stay healthy down there, appreciate you all. Right back at you, man,
Speaker 1: I see you soon. Derek, Truck's from Tanesky Truck's band.

Speaker 1: Derek Truck's and now John Os You're Jaguars dot com
Speaker 1: senior writer joins us on the phone. Um it, we're
Speaker 1: still distanced from each other, John, but that's okay. How
Speaker 1: are you? Yes, we are, Yes, we are. We are
Speaker 1: socially distant and uh getting through this thing. Thank you
Speaker 1: everybody trying to. I think the best we can, you know,
Speaker 1: is try and Um, we'll see when when we come
Speaker 1: out on the back end of this thing, how we are.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be okay in time, but we're
Speaker 1: not there yet. Let's talk a little ball though, John.
Speaker 1: Since we last spoke, there have been some additions. Let's
Speaker 1: start with Eifford tight end. Um, if he's healthy, him
Speaker 1: and Oliver together, if Oliver is healthy, that might be
Speaker 1: a pretty good tandement tight end. It feels like yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think going into this, the reality with the
Speaker 1: cap and the reality with the tight end position in
Speaker 1: terms of available players in this off season was going
Speaker 1: to dictate that the Jaguars we're gonna maybe think outside
Speaker 1: the box. When they addressed it, I never got the
Speaker 1: impression that they were going to be setting the market
Speaker 1: on this position this year. So you know, they weren't
Speaker 1: going to get Hooper, they weren't going to go after Hunter, Hannry.
Speaker 1: You know, guys like that, they were being talked about.
Speaker 1: So in lieu of that, you really didn't have any
Speaker 1: first round type tight end the way you did last
Speaker 1: year with Hawkinson, so you had to go and figure
Speaker 1: out how you were going to address it. Effort was
Speaker 1: the guy who sort of stood out as making the
Speaker 1: most sense. Beyond the injury history, which you know obviously
Speaker 1: has defined a lot of his career, he's been very,
Speaker 1: very good. And I think the thing you mentioned with
Speaker 1: Doug if if I'm not mistaken, he played sixteen games
Speaker 1: last year, so uh, that was the first time he
Speaker 1: had done that. It seemed like the Bengals managed it
Speaker 1: a little, but he didn't start all those games. He
Speaker 1: wasn't you know, every play guy. But I said a
Speaker 1: couple of time this week people have talked to about
Speaker 1: this signing. If they get twelve games out of him
Speaker 1: at the level that he played at Cincinnati last year, Uh,
Speaker 1: maybe that's not a Pro Bowl season, but it's the
Speaker 1: significant addition to this tight end group. And at this
Speaker 1: point with the Jaguars, you're looking for ways they can
Speaker 1: get better offensively. If they were to get twelve games
Speaker 1: at a at a of what Tyler Ifer can be.
Speaker 1: That's a huge lift for that group, and then you'll
Speaker 1: see what Josh Sulliver can do. John Ozan with US
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com senior writer. Just moments ago, well about
Speaker 1: forty minutes ago or so, the Jaguars announced that Dark
Speaker 1: quest Ard will not be signing with the Jags. That
Speaker 1: couldn't come to an agreement on the final contract terms.
Speaker 1: He's a free agent. Again. What in the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I think they saw that coming, and I
Speaker 1: was one reason why they went with for Sean Melvine
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. Um, they were trying to get
Speaker 1: into a situation in free agency clearly where they had
Speaker 1: guys who they felt okay about lining up. They feel
Speaker 1: good about Trey Herndon, that they've got Melvin on one side,
Speaker 1: You've got d J. Hayden at the nickel. Um. I
Speaker 1: still anticipate and always have since the end of last season,
Speaker 1: one of those top forty two draft picks, meaning the
Speaker 1: three that they have in the top forty two, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine it doesn't go to the cornerback position. So
Speaker 1: even without the even with the loss of of Denard,
Speaker 1: now you're in a situation where if you draft a guy,
Speaker 1: you've got four to place three, and I think that's
Speaker 1: what they want to be in a situation with because
Speaker 1: these rookies coming in. One thing I was talking about
Speaker 1: somebody this week, it could be an unusual situation for
Speaker 1: the rookies, maybe a little bit like two thousand and eleven,
Speaker 1: where they are coming in perhaps without a whole lot
Speaker 1: of prep time. On the one hand, it might do
Speaker 1: them some good physically to get arrest from all this
Speaker 1: stuff that all these rookies always do, but mentally it
Speaker 1: may take off these rookies to catch up. So for
Speaker 1: Sean Melvin becomes the guy that will be important. Jack
Speaker 1: Wars dot Com senior writer, John Os, you're joining us.
Speaker 1: It seems like some of these signings on the defensive line.
Speaker 1: We mentioned Gunter last week, but al Woods is in
Speaker 1: their defensive tackle, run stuffer, Joe Schobert, middle linebacker. He
Speaker 1: guess what the jag struggled against the run last year,
Speaker 1: and it seems like the at least early in free agency,
Speaker 1: they were making a point to get some of those
Speaker 1: positions in the middle of this defense. Short up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this has been a topic in the ozone, which
Speaker 1: I know you enjoyed reading every day every day. Yes
Speaker 1: it uh yeah. I've gotten some fans who are sort
Speaker 1: of debating about just how important it is for UH
Speaker 1: the Divers to improved run defense, and they cited some
Speaker 1: stats about other teams that have done well and not
Speaker 1: been great against the run. Well, all of that may
Speaker 1: be true, but if you watched this team last year
Speaker 1: when they couldn't when the season slipped away, which was
Speaker 1: right after or right for the bye from Houston and
Speaker 1: London on, it was because there were times you watched
Speaker 1: them where they had no hope to stop the run.
Speaker 1: They were getting gassed on the interior, couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rankings are. I don't know
Speaker 1: what all the numbers are. I know they have to
Speaker 1: be better against the run then they were in those
Speaker 1: five games or nothing else matters. And I think when
Speaker 1: they went back and summed up the season and looked
Speaker 1: at what they needed to do, it's clear that when
Speaker 1: Doug morwe Dave called all the people involved in those
Speaker 1: decisions watched that film that they thought the same thing.
Speaker 1: We cannot be defenseless against the run, or it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what else we do. So that's been what they've done,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to get bodies in there. They're trying
Speaker 1: to be able to rotate guys, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the plan makes sense, and I think it was more
Speaker 1: not a plan of desperation, but a plan of necessity.
Speaker 1: They had to do this early in create. John, We're
Speaker 1: gonna shorten it up a little bit this week, but
