Speaker 1: It is Thursday, August. This is Jaguars Happy Hour and
Speaker 1: now a guy who's imminent trade rumors were completely fabricated
Speaker 1: for the amusement of others. J Pece shit Rick, and
Speaker 1: boy was it hilarious. Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour, j P.
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jaguars analyst Jeff Lockman. Jeff, Good afternoon, Bud.
Speaker 1: What's going on all right? Good afternoon, j P. It's
Speaker 1: a good day. The Jaguars got a good practice in
Speaker 1: and uh, all seems to be well and football seems
Speaker 1: to be going on. So far, so good, right, so far,
Speaker 1: so good. Let's continue that trend and get to the
Speaker 1: season and get through the season. That's a long way
Speaker 1: down the road, so we got a little bit of
Speaker 1: time before we get that far. Here's what's coming up
Speaker 1: on the show today. Well, you heard the intro there
Speaker 1: about the rumors in go Quay. Was the topic of
Speaker 1: those rumors yesterday. We'll hear from Dave Caldwell coming up.
Speaker 1: He'll quash those rumors. Important stretch of camp coming up
Speaker 1: this week. This is really the heart of camp right now,
Speaker 1: to figure out what this team is going to be.
Speaker 1: Defensive line, we've discussed some of the changes there over
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, and what's the head offensive
Speaker 1: installation continues. It was a good day for the wide
Speaker 1: receivers and we'll go around the National Football League. Tony
Speaker 1: Boselli joins US at four thirty yesterday, Michael Lombardi of
Speaker 1: the Athletic tweeted to the trade of Unique and Gottway
Speaker 1: was imminent and could come yesterday or today. Well, it
Speaker 1: hasn't happened, and today g M. Dave Caldwell visited was
Speaker 1: serious XM radio after practice today and he shut down
Speaker 1: those reports of an imminent trade of Unique and Gotway.
Speaker 1: The unsubstantiated report really kind of caught me off guard. Two.
Speaker 1: So I don't know where it came from or who
Speaker 1: it came for him, but if he's being traded, I
Speaker 1: wish somebody would let me know. Um. So you know,
Speaker 1: obviously we've had discussions with teams, but there's uh as
Speaker 1: of one o'clock today, Uh there, that report was pretty erroneous,
Speaker 1: and I guess there's a couple of others that filed
Speaker 1: up on that. So I don't know the person uh
Speaker 1: that tweeted that, but obviously he didn't pay very close
Speaker 1: touch in detail. Um, you know, obviously we're working with
Speaker 1: the player and his agents, his new agents, and trying
Speaker 1: to come to a good resolution for everybody. Well, there's
Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell bringing a little bit of heat today on
Speaker 1: Serious Exit Radio. Erroneus reports slugs. What's new. Well, I look,
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's gonna try to throw something and up
Speaker 1: on the wall and see if it sticks, you know,
Speaker 1: just because it is a topic, and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a topic until one or two things happened, either and
Speaker 1: Gay has traded or he reports to camp and he
Speaker 1: plays for the Jaguars. But I think the interesting thing
Speaker 1: for me that I took away from what called Well
Speaker 1: said is that we've talked to teams, or that we're
Speaker 1: talking to teams. I mean, look, that's the reality. I mean,
Speaker 1: anybody that thinks that the Jaguars aren't talking to teams
Speaker 1: is crazy, because they're gonna talk to everybody and anybody
Speaker 1: that's willing to offer them something for in gock Way
Speaker 1: because of the impact that they have with the player.
Speaker 1: And uh so, I don't think it's anything news breaking.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's anything earth shattering. The only thing
Speaker 1: about the that was erroneous about the report was that
Speaker 1: something was imminent. I mean, it's looks something may happen.
Speaker 1: It may not happen for another week, it may not
Speaker 1: happen at all. We don't know. But still those things
Speaker 1: are gonna exist until those one of two things happened.
Speaker 1: He either is in camp with the Jaguars and signs
Speaker 1: as franchise tender, or he has traded and that part
Speaker 1: of him being in camp, you know, maybe the clouds
Speaker 1: have lifted little nobody has been able to talk to
Speaker 1: Unique to to figure out his mindset. But he's got
Speaker 1: a new agent, a new representative. Now, um, maybe that
Speaker 1: clears the air and things can come back down to normal.
Speaker 1: There's at least a chance of that happening with maybe
Speaker 1: the new representation lies well. I think there's always a
Speaker 1: chance of that when you change agents, because you can
Speaker 1: lay a lot of blame on the previous agent for
Speaker 1: not directing you in a proper way. I think it
Speaker 1: was the best thing that he could have possibly done
Speaker 1: was to fire his previous agent. The way that that
Speaker 1: whole thing was kind of came about with John's comments
Speaker 1: on Twitter, John's comments on in a public form. All
Speaker 1: of those things were not the way that you want
Speaker 1: to conduct your business, even if you want to go
Speaker 1: somewhere else, because a lot of the things that John did,
Speaker 1: actually I thought could have taken away from his value
Speaker 1: and his tradability. So smartly was a smart guy. Smartly
Speaker 1: to fire his agent. And now he's got new representation.
Speaker 1: I don't know the reputation of his new agent, but
Speaker 1: anything has to be better than the previous one. And
Speaker 1: hopefully at some point there can be some type of
Speaker 1: resolution to this, whether he's here or whether he's somewhere
Speaker 1: else in the Jaguars get some type of good trade
Speaker 1: value for him. Well, as of today at four oh
Speaker 1: five pm Eastern time, it's status quo and the Uniquan
Speaker 1: got way front, even after all the news quote unquote
Speaker 1: air quotes of the last day or so. Now as
Speaker 1: let's get to training campus heating up. You know, this
Speaker 1: is an important stretch for this Jags team. Six consecutive
Speaker 1: practices starting today, and head coach Doug Marone knows this
Speaker 1: stretch is vital for his football team. We are getting
Speaker 1: into a week where, uh you know, now we go
Speaker 1: six straight days until um until the next day off.
Speaker 1: So uh, there's a lot of work ahead of us
Speaker 1: this week, and it's a big week. You know. It's
Speaker 1: a week that we've got to get you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of situational work in. We've got to get a
Speaker 1: lot of high contact in um. You know. So it'll
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a push this week as
Speaker 1: far as you know, each and every day of getting better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: looks this is this is where the rubber hits the road,
Speaker 1: if you will. And camp, they've had the ramp up
Speaker 1: period and pads, but at some point you gotta start
Speaker 1: putting in those situations. Today was really red zone heavy.
Speaker 1: You and I were both out there watching that, so
Speaker 1: it was a situation. Last year this team really struggled.
Speaker 1: They finished thirty one in the league and red zone
Speaker 1: efficiency and they made it an emphasis today. I think
Speaker 1: that anybody that's claiming that this is the tough stretch,
Speaker 1: I think that's probably going a little bit too far.
Speaker 1: I mean, training camp, if you compare this to training
Speaker 1: camps of Vold. And I'm not trying to be one
Speaker 1: of those old guys saying that, Hey, look way back
Speaker 1: when when I played, it was so much harder. But
Speaker 1: training camps, certainly especially with COVID and the effect that
Speaker 1: that's had on training camp. This is a a much
Speaker 1: more milder training camp, So to say that six days
Speaker 1: in a row is demanding, I wouldn't quite say that.
Speaker 1: It's it's gone that far now. The training camps certainly
Speaker 1: are much more than what they are. The practice have
Speaker 1: been certainly much more than what they've been over the
Speaker 1: last two weeks, and that they've ramped it up there
Speaker 1: and pads they're going a little bit longer, but I
Speaker 1: mean they're on the field for ballpark, you know, an
Speaker 1: hour and a half hour and forty five minutes and
Speaker 1: that's about it. And it's only one day on the field,
Speaker 1: So I think players should be able to stay fresh,
Speaker 1: and players should be able to avoid any kind of
Speaker 1: soft tissue muscle injury. I think a lot of the
Speaker 1: the pounding that you take from the old training camps
Speaker 1: are not going to be there. So I think it's
Speaker 1: a great set up. It's a great situation. I wish
Speaker 1: that the training camps had been like this for a
Speaker 1: longer period of time, And I think the players should
Speaker 1: feel like that they have every chance to show what
Speaker 1: their best is because they're not demanding a lot out
Speaker 1: of these guys. As far as two day practices and
Speaker 1: full pads and everything else. So I think it's a
Speaker 1: comfortable pace, but yet it's a pace that I think
Speaker 1: that we'll get them ready for the regular season. Now,
Speaker 1: as far as today's practice, you know, yes, we were
Speaker 1: both out there today. I thought that today's practice was
Speaker 1: just okay. I think this team, but what you would expect, though,
Speaker 1: JP and what we expect, this team has a long
Speaker 1: way to go. This is a young football team that
Speaker 1: has a lot of unsettled positions and a lot of
Speaker 1: positions that have maybe even bigger question marks after the
Speaker 1: past week of events. So this team needs the reps
Speaker 1: and they need to take advantage of every rep that
Speaker 1: they're allowed to have between the agreement between the NFL
Speaker 1: and the nfl p A, Are you trying to say,
Speaker 1: logs that you used to walk to training camp uphill
Speaker 1: both ways and the snow? Is that what you're trying
Speaker 1: to say? No, I used to walk to training camp
Speaker 1: both ways uphill and like the Sahara Desert it was
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty degrees, didn't have shade, didn't have
Speaker 1: a water bottle. But I mean, come on, I mean,
Speaker 1: these these practices that they're having now, I mean there
Speaker 1: and you've got you've got eighty guys. And so when
Speaker 1: you have eighty guys for a practice that is ballpark
Speaker 1: about an hour and a half, and I mean hour
Speaker 1: and a half now, and a lot of that hour
Speaker 1: and a half is a lot of individual period, it's
Speaker 1: a lot of stretching, it's a lot of kind of
Speaker 1: walk through coaching type stuff. So, uh, this is I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that this is a highly demanding training camp
Speaker 1: or a highly demanding camp of any nature. I think
Speaker 1: it's I think it's just right though. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: of the opinion JP and and I've been saying this
Speaker 1: for years that the training camps will bold. We're just archaic,
Speaker 1: and they didn't do anything to get teams, I think,
Speaker 1: and we got them ready for a season, but I
Speaker 1: think it also it detracted away from the player's health
Speaker 1: going into the season. I think that this is the
Speaker 1: way to do it, I think all the time. And
Speaker 1: I hope that they can adopt some of the rules
Speaker 1: in changes going forward after this year, because I like
Speaker 1: some of the rules that Day have instituted this year.
Speaker 1: You mentioned a moment ago that this team does have
Speaker 1: a long way to go, and I think I agree
Speaker 1: with you on that one. But there were some bright
Speaker 1: spots of practice today, and for me, it was the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. Now, there were a couple of defensive
Speaker 1: backs out today. C. J. Henderson was under the weather
Speaker 1: with an illness. He was out Ronnie Harrison's and the
Speaker 1: concussion protocol now he was not available on the field today.
Speaker 1: But that said, there was some spectacular play by this
Speaker 1: Jaguars wide receiver corps today. Most notably and as you
Speaker 1: would expect, d J. Chark. He made a few great
Speaker 1: catches today, lives in traffic against the boundary, one on
Speaker 1: the sideline, one handed, another in the back of the
Speaker 1: end zone for a touchdown in red zone. And he
Speaker 1: just showed you what he can do. But there were
Speaker 1: other guys that really stepped up to today in that
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps. I thought that was a positive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought that it was. It was a really good
Speaker 1: performance by the wide receivers that I think doing large
Speaker 1: part because the play of the quarterbacks wasn't great today.
Speaker 1: I thought there were some balls that weren't very accurate
Speaker 1: and the and the receiver has really had to go
Speaker 1: and get it and make spectacular plays because the placement
Speaker 1: of the ball wasn't particularly good. You mentioned d J Chark.
Speaker 1: I think Dj is continuing to look marvelous. I think
Speaker 1: he's having a tremendous training camp and it's about what
Speaker 1: you would expect out of d J. Chark. Now, the
Speaker 1: one play that you're talking about where he was in
Speaker 1: the end zone, he probably got away with a little
Speaker 1: bit of a push off on that play, but nonetheless,
Speaker 1: the officials aren't out there, it wasn't called. But Colin
Speaker 1: Johnson I thought also had a really productive day. And
Speaker 1: you're talking about a drafted rookie that has a tremendous size.
Speaker 1: He's what six ft six two plus pounds, and so
Speaker 1: when you're talking about a wide receiver of that stature,
Speaker 1: when you get to the red zone, you expect him
Speaker 1: to excel, to be able to take advantage of the
Speaker 1: size advantage that he presents and matchups, and I thought
Speaker 1: he did just that today. And that's what the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: I think we're expecting when they drafted him. I thought
Speaker 1: he had a really strong day. China continues to have
Speaker 1: really strong practices day in and day out, but I
Speaker 1: think he will really shine when the pads come on
Speaker 1: because he's so physical and he's one of those guys
Speaker 1: that can catch the ball underneath and then really use
Speaker 1: his physical power to make plays and make things happen
Speaker 1: after the catch. But yeah, I think overall, very productive
Speaker 1: day for the wide receivers. But on the flip side
Speaker 1: of that, JP very concerned about the tight end position though. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of changes there logs. Of course, effort's
Speaker 1: out there, but Oliver has done for the year. He's
Speaker 1: put on injured reserve. Today, O'Shaughnessy's coming off a knee injury.
Speaker 1: He still has the brace running around out there, so
Speaker 1: it's not what it was. Just really only a few
Speaker 1: days ago when they had, for the first time in
Speaker 1: a long time their full compliment of tight ends. That's
Speaker 1: no long under the case. Yeah, losing Josh Oliver to
Speaker 1: I R. I mean, look, any time you're talking about
Speaker 1: a broken foot or a broken bone in the foot,
Speaker 1: that's one of the hardest things. I think an injury
Speaker 1: of the foot is very difficult to overcome because how
Speaker 1: do you how do you rest it? I mean, how
Speaker 1: do you get off your feet to allow things to heal?
Speaker 1: And then you've got to work your way back slowly
Speaker 1: because you can't, like put only ten percent of the
Speaker 1: weight on the foot. I mean, like if you're rehabing
Speaker 1: an arm. Okay, okay, we're gonna start out at ten percent. Well,
Speaker 1: when you step on your feet, you're carrying your full
Speaker 1: body weight. So it's hard to recover from a foot injury.
Speaker 1: But that's a tremendous loss. And Tyler Eiffort is a
Speaker 1: guy who they got in free agency, and we all
Speaker 1: know that he has a history of I'm not being
Speaker 1: able to stay healthy, even though last year he was
Speaker 1: able to stay healthy, but that's one of the few
Speaker 1: years that he's been able to do that in recent memory.
Speaker 1: And so now you look at the depth that the
Speaker 1: Jaguars have at the tight end position. Okay, well, how
Speaker 1: about James O'Shaughnessy. Well, he's coming back from an a
Speaker 1: c L. And there were a couple of points in
Speaker 1: practice today that I really saw James O'Shaughnessy. I don't
Speaker 1: want to say limping, but he was favoring that leg
Speaker 1: and not wanting to use it in a power position,
Speaker 1: which is typical guys that are coming back from an
Speaker 1: A c L. That takes time for them to get
Speaker 1: back to being a dent and I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: take him even more time. And there were some drills
Speaker 1: that he just chose not to participate in or just said, hey,
Speaker 1: I need a break here from the look of things.
Speaker 1: And then once you get past him, now you're talking
Speaker 1: about just a couple of guys that are are young.
Speaker 1: Charles Jones is the second year tight end that they
Speaker 1: like his blocking ability, and then you're talking about two rookies,
Speaker 1: one from Georgia Tech, a draft pick, and another rookie
Speaker 1: that this seems to be a little bit more athletic out.
Speaker 1: I think it's Central Florida. So I mean, this is
Speaker 1: a young group and it's a group that has a
Speaker 1: lot of questions. And then even with just one injury,
Speaker 1: it becomes even a bigger question mark plenty aheads. We're
Speaker 1: gonna come back in a moment. We'll get into the
Speaker 1: quarterback play a little bit. We'll hear from Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: He visited with Sirius XM Radio after practice today. The
Speaker 1: audio today courtesy of Sirius XM Radio. A little later,
Speaker 1: we'll get onto the defensive side of the football and
Speaker 1: get into that defensive Line and hear from Josh Alan.

Speaker 1: and these guys have come in and uh, they don't
Speaker 1: act like they know it all or had done had
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. They they're willing to learn and do
Speaker 1: things the way we want to do things now. Jaguars
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator last week in fact, discussing how far along
Speaker 1: they were in installing this offense and welcome back to
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour J P. Shadrick with Jeff Lockerman, Tony
Speaker 1: Boselli's coming up about ten minutes or so, and then
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour at five o'clock on
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network, the Doug Moron Show. The head
Speaker 1: coach will join us at about five twenty today, So
Speaker 1: stick around there here on the Tin Tin A M
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville at Jaguars on Social and Jaguars dot Com. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know logs. This it's an interesting dynamic here. Obviously
Speaker 1: we've talked about this before, but it's worth noting again
Speaker 1: it's a new offense. They haven't been on the field
Speaker 1: at all in the off season, and they've come to
Speaker 1: camp with a ramp up period. They truly have eleven
Speaker 1: full padded practices lengthwise, right, they've had fourteen on the schedule,
Speaker 1: but there's a ramp up and I think the ramp
Speaker 1: up ended today. They start the full time tomorrow, so
Speaker 1: that's all they have to really install this offense. So
Speaker 1: there's has to be a limit to what you get in.
Speaker 1: You get the most important things in first, right, That's
Speaker 1: kind of that's how you have to approach this thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the meat and potatoes and JP. I mean when you're
Speaker 1: talking about Jay Gruden talking about them being in diapers,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're still in diapers. Were still learning about
Speaker 1: this football team. And you know, here's my little little
Speaker 1: depth chart that I put together every year, and I'm
Speaker 1: so in diapers that I talked about Ben Ellison and
Speaker 1: had the tight end one of the rookies is being
Speaker 1: from Central Florida. I cannot, I cannot go let that slide.
Speaker 1: That's a North Dakota State guy. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: North Dakota State guys out there that would take great
Speaker 1: offense if I didn't get that right. But so we're
Speaker 1: learning the football team, the players are learning the offensive system.
Speaker 1: It's all part of the ramp up period. But the
Speaker 1: amazing thing is is that if the if this were
Speaker 1: a normal year, we would have been past the first
Speaker 1: preseason game already, and it's just kind of odd that
Speaker 1: we haven't seen anything even close to that or a
Speaker 1: scrimmage so far in training camp. Well, the offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: Jay Gruden will have to lean on a second year
Speaker 1: quarterback in Gardner Minshew, who they're trying to develop all
Speaker 1: at the same time into a guy that can be
Speaker 1: a franchise type guy. That's the plan at least. Well
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew today met with Sirius XM Radio, and not
Speaker 1: only is Gruden here, but Ben McAdoo is here now
Speaker 1: as well, the former head coach of the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: He's the quarterbacks coach now for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's
Speaker 1: working with Minshew every day. And of course Gardner also
Speaker 1: spent some time down in Naples this offseason. Coach mcadoer.
Speaker 1: He's been awesome. Man. He's he's been out of the
Speaker 1: game for a little bit, so he's so excited to
Speaker 1: get back. And I was so excited to work for
Speaker 1: him and learn from him. Um. You know, he's been
Speaker 1: around some great guys and I love just you know,
Speaker 1: kind of picking his brain. He's he's gonna help help
Speaker 1: me a lot, you know, whether it's footboard decision making,
Speaker 1: ball security, all that. He brings a lot of great
Speaker 1: experience to our room. Uh. And then with coach Ombrello
Speaker 1: down in Naples, UM and something, I go doing the
Speaker 1: off season with Michael Walker, one of our receivers here. UM,
Speaker 1: we go down and train with him. First off, getting
Speaker 1: faster with him. I think he's one of the great,
Speaker 1: you know, better speed guys I've ever worked with. UM.
Speaker 1: And then doing it whatever I can to give my
Speaker 1: arm as strong as possible. Um. You know, I realized
Speaker 1: I'm never probably gonna have a plus arm in this league.
Speaker 1: But there's things that can do to get better, and
Speaker 1: I feel like I have this offseason, gardnerments you. That's
Speaker 1: our audio courtesy of Serious XM Radio. So obviously we've
Speaker 1: talked about Garden are doing the right things in the offseason,
Speaker 1: going down to his side coach down there to get
Speaker 1: some things right, you know. And it's interesting that the
Speaker 1: in there he talked about, you know, he may not
Speaker 1: have a plus arm in this league, but there are
Speaker 1: things he can do. What can he do to improve
Speaker 1: that arm strength? Well, I think I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things he can do. And I think when
Speaker 1: it comes to Gardener, because he doesn't have that quote
Speaker 1: unquote plus arm or great arm, the anticipation has to
Speaker 1: be there. The thorough understanding of the offense has to
Speaker 1: be there, and a great understanding of defense so that
Speaker 1: that allows you to have that anticipation. You know. Chad
Speaker 1: Pennington had a very successful career in the National Football
Speaker 1: League for quite some time, and he might have had
Speaker 1: the worst arm in the NFL in half a century.
Speaker 1: I'm not joking now, I mean his arm. We used
Speaker 1: to call him the lollipop guy because literally when he
Speaker 1: would throw the ball had so much arc on. It
Speaker 1: was like traveling around the circle of a lollipop. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was that weak. So if he can have success
Speaker 1: in this league, then Gardner Minshew can have success because
Speaker 1: his arm isn't like that. It's better than that. But
Speaker 1: there's definitely some things that he's gonna have to be
Speaker 1: able to be good at. You know, his height gives
Speaker 1: him a little bit of a disadvantage, so he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to be able to function in the pocket, find
Speaker 1: open windows, to find the vision, to anticipate routes, to
Speaker 1: anticipate changes in defense. You know, Tom Brady is obviously
Speaker 1: the goat, and he's the greatest of all time, and
Speaker 1: one of the things that makes him great is his mind.
Speaker 1: When Tom Brady gets to the line of scrimmage and
Speaker 1: he's got a progression of let's say five guys JP,
Speaker 1: when by the time he gets the snap, he has
Speaker 1: already gone through his first and second progression when the
Speaker 1: all hits his hand under center, and then he's already
Speaker 1: working to number three, four and five one once he's
Speaker 1: got the ball in his hands, and that allows him
Speaker 1: to have great decision making. So Gardner Minshew needs to
Speaker 1: find a way to have the mental aspect of the
Speaker 1: game down to allow maybe some shortcomings that he has
Speaker 1: physically but allowed to cover up for them, and to
Speaker 1: allow this offense to function at the best of its ability.
Speaker 1: Like today, for example, JP, we watched them today. He
Speaker 1: wasn't extremely sharp today. Some of the placements, the ball
Speaker 1: placements of the balls. If you don't have a great arm,
Speaker 1: okay that you can wing it in there, then you
Speaker 1: need to be able to put it in the position
Speaker 1: so that your offensive receiver can catch the ball and
Speaker 1: then get his body turned heading north and south as
Speaker 1: quickly as possible, something that he could have done a
Speaker 1: better job of today. Also the accuracy thing. So all
Speaker 1: of those things are things that he's going to continue
Speaker 1: to work on. And it's very early in training camp,
Speaker 1: and I'm not down on him whatsoever. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that he's just like a lot of the other players
Speaker 1: on this roster. He's young and he's got things to
Speaker 1: work on. All right, let's come back. We'll flip it
Speaker 1: around to the defensive side and Tony Boselli will join
Speaker 1: us as well, former Jaguars left tackle. You might have
Speaker 1: heard of it. Um, We're back in a moment. We're

Speaker 1: those guys for the audio, and welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lockman. Tony Basselli joins us from
Speaker 1: another undisclosed location. You are on a streak of undisclosed locations, Tony,
Speaker 1: where is this one? It's none of your business, JP. No,
Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm at I'm at home right now, so
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at the house. Oh well, it's nice to Uh,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not as exciting as the closed site
Speaker 1: that I was at last week All White roof last time. Yeahs,
Speaker 1: last Monday, we had Tony in an undisclosed location. Is
Speaker 1: one of those c I a things where you couldn't
Speaker 1: see anything on the walls, and but all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: here comes the waitress in to bring him a cup
Speaker 1: of coffee in the middle of the show. What in
Speaker 1: the world. It was a nice It was a nice
Speaker 1: on this low site, the nicest I've ever heard of.
Speaker 1: We just heard from Josh Allen there, of course, and
Speaker 1: you gotta love his mindset. Um, Los, you and I
Speaker 1: were at practice today just talking about how he looks.
Speaker 1: First of all, he looks a little different than last year,
Speaker 1: just to the eye. But here in him, Tony, you know,
Speaker 1: this guy's locked a yeah, a lot, right, Um, Tony,
Speaker 1: this guy is locked in, and he's a guy you
Speaker 1: can really build around on the defensive side. Well, I
Speaker 1: think as you look at this defense, in this whole team,
Speaker 1: actually you kind of want to ask yourself, where are
Speaker 1: the playmakers? Where are the difference makers who can take
Speaker 1: over a game? And I think Josh Allen is one
Speaker 1: of those. I mean, watching the game tape work, I
Speaker 1: should say, the practice, they kind of going through some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that they've been doing some one ones.
Speaker 1: I was watching some team drills and everything else. Uh,
Speaker 1: he does look different, Um, he actually looks much more
Speaker 1: polished already early Jeff in his pass rush moves and
Speaker 1: what he's doing some one arm presses, using his hands,
Speaker 1: getting on the edge. Uh, and even watching him in
Speaker 1: the uh run drills, the team run drills that they're having. Uh.
Speaker 1: He's a powerful guy. I mean, I think he has
Speaker 1: all the components to be a great player. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: not just a guy who can rest the pastor and
Speaker 1: get double dugit sacks, which he's already proven, but literally
Speaker 1: one of those guys that you don't want off the field,
Speaker 1: that's every down player, UM, that can change the game. Uh.
Speaker 1: And Uh, I think we thought that we had that
Speaker 1: last year when we drafted him, and then after his
Speaker 1: rookie year where he really only played about four five
Speaker 1: of the staffs maybe fifty and put up the numbers
Speaker 1: he did. Um, I'm looking for a big year out
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen. Yeah, he's uh an absolute stud. And
Speaker 1: had a conversation with him today and was talking about
Speaker 1: some of his pass rush moves because I thought last year,
Speaker 1: you know, he got double digit sacks, but he got
Speaker 1: most of them just by being an athlete. And so
Speaker 1: I think it's very apparent that he's learning how to
Speaker 1: be a pass rusher and he's refined his body. For example,
Speaker 1: last year he probably weighed close to to seventy This
Speaker 1: year he's down around two d fifty pounds. He looks great,
Speaker 1: he said, he feels great, he feels fast, and I
Speaker 1: can tell you he looks fast and he looks great.
Speaker 1: And then tonight, JP just a little plug here on
Speaker 1: Jaguars All Access, our first TV show of the season,
Speaker 1: going to the film room and actually going to be
Speaker 1: breaking down some of these pass rush moves that Josh
Speaker 1: Allen has discovered, and we'll look back on some of
Speaker 1: the one on one pass rushes that he had from
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday this week and shows some of the
Speaker 1: folks how his moves have become a little top level.
Speaker 1: And Tony, you remember probably growing up watching the great
Speaker 1: Ricky Jackson, who was he's a Hall of Famer, played
Speaker 1: for the New Orleans Saints. He was a left side
Speaker 1: out left outside pass rusher. Pat Swilling was on the
Speaker 1: opposite side, and Ricky had this power inside arm move
Speaker 1: and he could just take a plus pound offensive tackle
Speaker 1: back into the lap of the quarterback. Josh has found
Speaker 1: that he did that the Juwan Taylor on Tuesday. What
Speaker 1: I mean it was tremendous. I mean, what a great rush.
Speaker 1: So looking forward tonight's first Jaguars all access and then
Speaker 1: also looking forward to watching a great player this year
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. Now the question around him, there's many
Speaker 1: of them and and that's that's a cause for a
Speaker 1: lot of concern. JP. Let me pick up on that
Speaker 1: real quick. What Box you said is is because if
Speaker 1: you want to be a great pass rusher and put
Speaker 1: up the big numbers that we're talking about, Jeff, you
Speaker 1: have to get second along a third and long and
Speaker 1: I think the unknown where the question it's gonna be
Speaker 1: interesting to see is Candice team stopped to run. Can
Speaker 1: they create those long down down and distances situations? And
Speaker 1: that allowed Josh Allen to highlight who he is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the all the changes in the interior this defensive line
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. You know there's still the
Speaker 1: frontline guys there, Avery, Taven, Brian, those kind of names
Speaker 1: that you're gonna see. But you know they like to
Speaker 1: to rotate those guys in and you know that at
Speaker 1: least so far, it's just a little, not a little,
Speaker 1: it's a lot unknown right now. Who those guys are
Speaker 1: gonna be in the next couple of weeks. Well, let
Speaker 1: me let me kind of circle back on your comment there,
Speaker 1: and you said, hey, the front line guys are still there,
Speaker 1: and Avery Jones and Tavin Bryan, I would argue that
Speaker 1: they weren't going to be the front line guys. I
Speaker 1: think we have a nose tackle that opted out that
Speaker 1: probably was gonna be your best nose tackle. You had
Speaker 1: Rodney Gunner, who because of a heart condition has had
Speaker 1: to walk away from the game, and they gave an
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollar contract to That tells me that he
Speaker 1: was gonna be your guy. And I think his level
Speaker 1: of perform it's what the Cardinals last year was better
Speaker 1: than that of what Tavin Bryan was able to produce
Speaker 1: for the Jaguar. So, you know, when you're talking about
Speaker 1: taking away frontline guys, and I understand that. Look, you know,
Speaker 1: you've got some depth with Tavin and you've got some
Speaker 1: depth with Avery. But look, I mean last year with
Speaker 1: those guys, you had an issue stopping the run, you know.
Speaker 1: So that's why they went out and they looked and
Speaker 1: tried to find a couple of guys to fortify that
Speaker 1: defensive front. So it definitely hurts this football team by
Speaker 1: losing a couple of guys of that stature of case.
Speaker 1: So now the question is what do you have that's next?
Speaker 1: What do you have that's available step up? Looking I
Speaker 1: like the acquisition of Timmy Journegan. I think he's a
Speaker 1: good football player, but it would have been nice to
Speaker 1: have him on top of, you know, some other guys
Speaker 1: that you were able to acquire. And I think when
Speaker 1: you start to look at depth at the other defensive
Speaker 1: end position, I think Smoot is a good football player.
Speaker 1: He's been depth in the past. Now he's expected to
Speaker 1: be that guy. Well, what do you have next? Is
Speaker 1: God's disabled to step up? You know? I mean right now,
Speaker 1: from what I'm seeing out of Gods, this is he
Speaker 1: s he's a guy or I see a guy that
Speaker 1: that looks like he's kind of carrying a bad knee.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of questions with this defensive front,
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to continue on until we
Speaker 1: get to the regular season where we can actually see
Speaker 1: some answers. Yeah, it's it's going to continue. Certainly. The
Speaker 1: next week will be key to see who emerges from
Speaker 1: that group. You know, today we're staying on the defensive
Speaker 1: line here. Caleb and Chase on had his first day
Speaker 1: on the field. He was off to the side at
Speaker 1: the start of camp with the hamstring ailment, but he
Speaker 1: started to work his way back in today. Uh quickly lives.
Speaker 1: What did you see at a Caleb on today first
Speaker 1: day out? Well, first and foremost the eye test. I
Speaker 1: was looking at him. I was going, wow, look how
Speaker 1: big his legs are. I mean, he literally his legs
Speaker 1: look big. And I remember watching his tape at l
Speaker 1: s U. I didn't see that big of a guy.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if he may be gained a
Speaker 1: little bit of weight or something, but he's a little
Speaker 1: bit more heavy, heavy at the bottom end, but he's sudden,
Speaker 1: he looks powerful. I think he's gonna give them some
Speaker 1: great depth to go with Josh on base downs, and
Speaker 1: then also going to give them a really nice outside
Speaker 1: rusher opposite of Josh, obviously, unless the Angoquay situation is
Speaker 1: able to be rectified. So I like him. I liked
Speaker 1: this college tape. I think it's a great acquisition. But
Speaker 1: you know, he's a young guy that needs these reps
Speaker 1: and he's missed some time already and he needs to
Speaker 1: make up for some lost time. Yeah, and Jeffy, if
Speaker 1: you if you watched him at L s U as
Speaker 1: I know you did and I did, is while he
Speaker 1: didn't look as big as he looked on the field
Speaker 1: of day, I just saw the videos and I watched
Speaker 1: the practice dape later tonight. Is he was a powerful
Speaker 1: individual if you watched him play and how the physicality
Speaker 1: played with an L s U running around over the
Speaker 1: plates and he was actually pretty good at stack at
Speaker 1: the end of the line of scream inch and I
Speaker 1: think what he gives you. And if you look at
Speaker 1: the body type of Josh Allen, we talked about him
Speaker 1: and not taking an shots and goquay because in Gockway
Speaker 1: is a great pass rusher. I mean we all know that. Um.
Speaker 1: The question is he's also a smaller individual, especially on
Speaker 1: the lower half, and he has to kind of play
Speaker 1: make you miss in the run game to be effective.
Speaker 1: Which guys will be able to do that. If you
Speaker 1: look at chayse On, he's another guy that you feel
Speaker 1: real comfortable lining up and be either on the open
Speaker 1: end and be able to stack that tackle, play physical
Speaker 1: through the tackle's neck and definitely against the tight end.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a powerful human being that is
Speaker 1: stick some thickness to him. Um, that's gonna be able
Speaker 1: to play the run game effectively as well. Alright, guys,
Speaker 1: let's stay in the trenches here and for a few minutes. Tony,
Speaker 1: you're with us obviously, so let's talk offensive line here,
Speaker 1: tug moron, thank you. And in case you're joining us
Speaker 1: for the first time, Tony was Ellie is a noted
Speaker 1: left tackle in league history. Just ask, he'll tell you.
Speaker 1: So I've done marone today. I talked about the offensive
Speaker 1: life and how and you know he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: heat praise yet, but he kind of did today again
Speaker 1: on this group as a whole, talking about how they've
Speaker 1: improved their strength, their athleticism. Technically, they're a little better
Speaker 1: at least in the early parts of camp. Here, Tony,
Speaker 1: I know you've watched some of the tape so far.
Speaker 1: I know it's you know, pajamas a lot of the time,
Speaker 1: and pad's only a few parts here. But they're confident
Speaker 1: in this group up front. Um, yeah, I heard the comment.
Speaker 1: He says they looked better than they did at the
Speaker 1: end of last year. Um, and now he's watching the
Speaker 1: tape closer than I am, and he's seen him throughout
Speaker 1: the entire time of the tape. I've seen. It didn't
Speaker 1: stand out to me like I didn't turn on the
Speaker 1: tape and in eleven on eleven drills and see like
Speaker 1: in the run game within just dominating. UM. Do I
Speaker 1: see some good stuff some bad stuff? Yeah, But I
Speaker 1: think that's consistent what we saw seen in the past,
Speaker 1: Jeff during training camp, especially early, so I think it's
Speaker 1: way too early. I mean, I listen, I love that
Speaker 1: you have a head coach who's pumping his guys up
Speaker 1: and is trying to get the most out of him
Speaker 1: and being positive. There's no reason not to be this
Speaker 1: time of year. But for me, man, the proof is
Speaker 1: gonna be in the pudding. I want to see. You know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really UM an unproven commodity across the
Speaker 1: board for this team until you get to opening day
Speaker 1: because with no preseason and no live action UM to
Speaker 1: speak of. Uh, it's gonna be interesting to me. And listen,
Speaker 1: I've gotten it wrong in the past, Jeff and I
Speaker 1: got it wrong in seventeen where we thought this was
Speaker 1: an offensive line that was gonna struggle and they ended
Speaker 1: up leading the league and rushing um and I thought
Speaker 1: they'd be better than they were last year, and they
Speaker 1: struggled quite a bit. So it'll be really interesting to
Speaker 1: watch and see. Um, you know, it's pretty much not
Speaker 1: pretty much. It is the same group that we saw
Speaker 1: all of last year. And so what you're hoping is
Speaker 1: that what Doug is saying is accurate that they've gotten stronger.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how you get more athletic if you
Speaker 1: get older, um, but maybe you get stronger. But the technique,
Speaker 1: especially for some of the guys, and I'll speak directly
Speaker 1: to Cam Robinson, um with his footwork, I did watch
Speaker 1: him in one on one. It does look like he's
Speaker 1: worked on it and there is some improvement. Uh, And
Speaker 1: so I'm hopeful, but we'll have to wait and see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's one of those where you gotta go see it
Speaker 1: under the lights to to really check it out against
Speaker 1: another opponent. Well, let me add this first off. This
Speaker 1: team needs the offensive line to take a step up.
Speaker 1: I mean, because you're talking about a defense that's going
Speaker 1: through a lot of changes, you're talking about a young quarterback.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's probably the most important position group for
Speaker 1: this football team this year. I think. You know. The
Speaker 1: interesting thing too, is that I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys saw on the video stuff that we're watching these
Speaker 1: guys and a lot of people are probably wondering and
Speaker 1: looking at the video and what is that the players
Speaker 1: that most of the the offensive linemen are wearing. It.
Speaker 1: It's like a padded exterior to the helmet that they wear.
Speaker 1: And if you go back to the uh great Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills teams when they went to four Super Bowls and
Speaker 1: they weren't able to win one of them, they had
Speaker 1: a safety slash special teamer by the name of Mark Kelso.
Speaker 1: There was also a couple other players in the league.
Speaker 1: There was a lineman for the San Francisco forty Niners
Speaker 1: that were it was it's like a pad on the
Speaker 1: exterior of the helmet and the offensive lineman, a lot
Speaker 1: of them are wearing this in practice, and I guess
Speaker 1: it's supposed to cut down on concussions or the the
Speaker 1: pounding that these guys take. But it's kind of interesting
Speaker 1: watching the video footage and you see these guys and
Speaker 1: for all you Flintstone fans out there, they look like Kazoo,
Speaker 1: you know, the pig that makes their heads look like
Speaker 1: they're giant, you know, kind of out of proportion there
Speaker 1: a little bit. Well, I we'll say it is part
Speaker 1: of a league case study there working on two different
Speaker 1: types of these outer padded shell things for helmets to
Speaker 1: for the for the low impact contact. So it's it's
Speaker 1: a continuation of a study that's been going on off
Speaker 1: the field. Now they're bringing it onto the practice field.
Speaker 1: At least it will not be used in games this year. Um,
Speaker 1: But the way I understand it, they're just trying it
Speaker 1: out a couple of different models here, and I don't
Speaker 1: think this is the only team doing it. There are
Speaker 1: some other teams trying them out as well. So a
Speaker 1: good time to to try that out is always would
Speaker 1: you would you wear one? Jeff Me? Uh? When I
Speaker 1: was in my early twenties, no, But when I wear
Speaker 1: one now, yeah, yeah I don't think I would. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know me, I had the small pads. I like
Speaker 1: to wear as little as possible on the football field,
Speaker 1: but enough as it was already yeah my head, I
Speaker 1: had a huge helmet pick skull. Um, I think I
Speaker 1: would have been Okay, they would need a custom size
Speaker 1: for Tony. Let's come back we'll touch on some penalty talk.
Speaker 1: Doug Moron asked about that earlier today. We'll go around
Speaker 1: the National Football League as well. We're down the final stretch.

Speaker 1: that saving money is better, join by Star. We never

Speaker 1: easier to buy, Built for America, built Ford Proud. Now
Speaker 1: the officials aren't doing really that that type of training
Speaker 1: or on the field, so I keep telling the players,
Speaker 1: I'm really concerned about that, uh that, and I want
Speaker 1: to make sure And now, because of the tears on
Speaker 1: what we can have here. We used to always have
Speaker 1: the officials at practice, you know, where we can keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that. Well, we don't have them because
Speaker 1: you know, we can't afford to bring in Tier one people.
Speaker 1: You know, they just they're gonna do practice. So, um,
Speaker 1: we have coaches have been on it, you know, quite
Speaker 1: a bit. Head coach Doug Marone earlier today before practice
Speaker 1: asking about penalties and the approach this season in training camp.
Speaker 1: Wellcome back Jaguars Happy Hour, j P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagerman,
Speaker 1: Tony Baselli, and that we all know that this team
Speaker 1: was penalized a good bit last year, certainly on the
Speaker 1: offensive line. So you know, he made the point today
Speaker 1: Tony that sometimes good teams get penalized a lot. I
Speaker 1: can go to the Super Bowl and but they are
Speaker 1: good enough in different areas to overcome penalties. If you
Speaker 1: have to really work to overcome the penalties and then
Speaker 1: you can't, that's when it can pile up on top
Speaker 1: of you. Not that you want the penalties to begin with.
Speaker 1: They get that, the technique and everything has to be right,
Speaker 1: so you avoid some of those. But that's a big difference,
Speaker 1: especially for a young Jaguars football team. Like this one.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be forge to overcome a lot of those penalties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's not always a direct core correlation between penalties and
Speaker 1: the teams that make the playoffs from missed the playoffs,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I think that's what you're alluding to, JP,
Speaker 1: and you're right. Um, However, I don't think this team
Speaker 1: is explosive enough on the offense to overcome Uh. It's
Speaker 1: more difficult for them to overcome long down and distance
Speaker 1: or the thing if they get behind the chains. Um,
Speaker 1: they need things to be They need to be working
Speaker 1: downhill meaning positive down a distance, which penalties really take
Speaker 1: you out of. UM. And defensively, listen, you know, giving
Speaker 1: up easy artage when it's a team that hasn't made
Speaker 1: a ton of changes defensively if you really look at
Speaker 1: I mean they added Joe Showber to that front seven.
Speaker 1: Other than that is it in Chason it's a lot
Speaker 1: of the same people, um, and actually losing Calais and
Speaker 1: Marcel Darius who was there for the first half. And
Speaker 1: this is a defensive struggle to stop to run last
Speaker 1: year and they gave up chunkyardage and they gave up
Speaker 1: a big play. So so what I'm saying their margin
Speaker 1: for air is really a lot smaller than other team
Speaker 1: and so you can't impact that and help other teams
Speaker 1: out and be a highly penalized team. I think penalties
Speaker 1: are are first of all, you've got to kind of
Speaker 1: break them into two different categories to sit there and say, okay,
Speaker 1: well we got to eliminate this these types, and we
Speaker 1: gotta make sure that we are aware of these other types.
Speaker 1: The mental penalties you gotta eliminate, whether that be false starts,
Speaker 1: delay of games, things that you can control with just
Speaker 1: your mind. The physical penalties, Hey, look, if you grab
Speaker 1: a guy's face mask when you're flying a hundred miles
Speaker 1: an hour and trying to make a tackle in your
Speaker 1: hand gets his face mask by accident, that happens, you know.
Speaker 1: So I think as a as a coach, I'm sure
Speaker 1: that Doug wants to eliminate all those ones that you
Speaker 1: call the mental penalties and the aggressive penalties. Look, you
Speaker 1: just try to have a little bit more awareness and
Speaker 1: try to prevent them, but definitely as an offense, and
Speaker 1: those are the mental penalty. I think you talked a
Speaker 1: lot about now defense, it's mental penalty. A perfect example
Speaker 1: that might be lining up in the neutral zone if
Speaker 1: you're a defensive lineman or if you're a cornerback, but offensively,
Speaker 1: you've got to make sure that you don't have any
Speaker 1: of those mental bus because that, to me, that's what
Speaker 1: they are. They're mental bus Y're not just penalties. Are mental?
Speaker 1: Where would you categorize like late hits, personal fouls, that
Speaker 1: type of thing that's totally unaware. Yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's there's no excuse for that. I mean that that's
Speaker 1: a mental penalty, but it goes beyond it. You know,
Speaker 1: there was a great running back who played for the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. It used to say, hey, look, you got
Speaker 1: to take care of your mentals. Well you could apply
Speaker 1: that to penalties when it comes to football, because you
Speaker 1: gotta take care of all. Right, we'll see if the
Speaker 1: Jaguars can get that going. We'll hear from Doug Moron
Speaker 1: coming up in just a few minutes on the Doug
Speaker 1: Moron Show as well. Let's go around the National Football League, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: and start off with of the mandate coming down this
Speaker 1: week that there will be no sideline reporters or pregame
Speaker 1: TV reporters allowed on the field in not only that
Speaker 1: no cheerleaders, no mascots allowed on the field either. They'll
Speaker 1: likely be in a different area of the stadium, first
Speaker 1: few rows of the stands most likely. And Tony, that's
Speaker 1: a big change, certainly for you. I mean, you're on
Speaker 1: the sidelines on Thursday night. How's that going to change
Speaker 1: your role? Actually, I'm not on the sidelines Thursday night.
Speaker 1: I've been in the booth from about the last four years.
Speaker 1: But thank you, I'm on the sideline for the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: so that'll be interesting to see what they do there. Um,
Speaker 1: so it's not gonna change my role at all. It
Speaker 1: will change Logs and Eyes prep though, because we usually
Speaker 1: prep and do a lot of work pre game on
Speaker 1: the field, talking to players and coaches, seeing the injuries. Um, guys,
Speaker 1: who are game time decisions. I know Thursday nights, especially
Speaker 1: when I don't I don't spend as much time with
Speaker 1: the teams. I go down on the field before the game,
Speaker 1: interact with guys. That's not gonna happen anymore. I mean
Speaker 1: Logs and I to figure out the heck we do
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half that you used to
Speaker 1: spend on the field, because I don't think they're gonna
Speaker 1: let us out there anymore. Yeah, that's a no surprise there.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to go ahead and protect
Speaker 1: your players, you've got to absolutely limit any kind of
Speaker 1: access to them in any way fashion that you can't.
Speaker 1: And so it just makes sense. Uh, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of other limitations that are are going on and then
Speaker 1: have already gone on, Like, for example, like right now
Speaker 1: says that broadcasters I could have a conversation with a
Speaker 1: Josh Allen like today, but I mean we were doing
Speaker 1: it from you know, ten plus feet apart, you know,
Speaker 1: and I'll just say, hey, make sure you stay there
Speaker 1: and I stay here. But you don't want to end
Speaker 1: up getting any kind of space violations. And and I
Speaker 1: think the league and the teams are very aware that
Speaker 1: any kind of possibility of having a player get COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen from some other chance exposure, they're gonna try to
Speaker 1: eliminate as many of those possibilities as they can, and
Speaker 1: as they should. The league and the players Association, I
Speaker 1: think has done a great job of coming together and
Speaker 1: putting plans together and trying to make a map or
Speaker 1: or or some type of system to follow. And I
Speaker 1: think each team has done a pretty good job of
Speaker 1: executing it, because you have to try to keep the
Speaker 1: players safe and if the games are gonna be played
Speaker 1: without an interruption, as we've seen baseball, there's been a
Speaker 1: lot of interruption. You've got to make sure that you
Speaker 1: do everything within your power to make sure that there
Speaker 1: is no blow up with COVID nineteen in the league. Jeff,
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? Well, I can tell you this.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be hanging around a bunch of other
Speaker 1: people in the press box and eat press box food
Speaker 1: for me. Uh, It's it's true. You know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try to stay six ft away from you. But I
Speaker 1: guess you know what, since you've already had it, maybe, Yeah. Interesting,
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry for the demotion there, Tony. I didn't
Speaker 1: the reassignment. Let's say Brown's cornerback Kevin Johnson had another
Speaker 1: player land on top of him at practice yesterday. No
Speaker 1: big deal, right, Well, he went to the he had
Speaker 1: an abdomen injury. Yeah, it is a big deal because
Speaker 1: they sent him to the hospital as a precaution, where
Speaker 1: tests revealed that he had a laceration to his liver. Tony,
Speaker 1: what in the world that is a crazy one? Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a scary one because you start getting internal bleeding.
Speaker 1: I think it was a number of years ago. It
Speaker 1: was Chris Sims who actually lacerated his spleen and they
Speaker 1: didn't catch her right away and he, you know, could
Speaker 1: have died. Um, you said that. I remember on the
Speaker 1: Lebotard show, Tony you said, you said to Chris Simms,
Speaker 1: that was one of the coolest things he did play
Speaker 1: in football. Actually, to get the quote right, I said,
Speaker 1: it's the only cool thing he ever did on a
Speaker 1: football field. Um, yeah, it's not very nice, but maybe true.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that's Uh, it's one of those things. It's
Speaker 1: a freak, a freak accident or freak injury that you
Speaker 1: just can't plan for and you don't see it very often.
Speaker 1: And kudos to the medical staff and the leaders in
Speaker 1: there on the medical of the medical organization to take
Speaker 1: the crushing to go the extra step make sure the
Speaker 1: young man I'm safe, because if that's something you miss,
Speaker 1: goes to bed at night, goes back to his room.
Speaker 1: You know, you worry man what happens in the morning.
Speaker 1: And so, uh, you know, thank god they caught it
Speaker 1: and hopefully will be Okay, let's move along. Now, Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill left practice early today for the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: after catching a long pass from our good friend Chad Heading.
Speaker 1: He walked to the sideline and talk to the training
Speaker 1: staff and then walked under his own power inside did
Speaker 1: not return. Um. He's under his own power, though, Logs.
Speaker 1: That's the good sign for Kansas City. Yeah, he is.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, he's the most dynamic playmaker that there
Speaker 1: is in the league. And uh and obviously he's a
Speaker 1: super Bowl champ. So anything that happens to a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl champion player that is of that magnitude is it
Speaker 1: makes big news, you know, and it's it's amazing to
Speaker 1: me because you know, when I when I saw that
Speaker 1: about Tyree Kill, it reminded me about the story about
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey criticizing him a little bit because he said
Speaker 1: he was just a kick returner. Oh. I don't know
Speaker 1: about that, Jalen. I think he's a little bit more
Speaker 1: than a kick returner. I would agree if the quote
Speaker 1: was yeah, yeah, there's no doubt about that. He was
Speaker 1: a pro bowler as a kick returner. That's what he said. Um. Finally,
Speaker 1: the final thought here, Alex Smith practicing with the Washington
Speaker 1: football team competing for the gig? How real can this be?
Speaker 1: Tony Well, I mean, listen, I give the guy credit.
Speaker 1: We talked about it Monday night. I mean I watched
Speaker 1: him and just saw some tape of it. It still
Speaker 1: looks like he has a little bit of a draw foot. Um.
Speaker 1: We saw Janalen Smith, the Cowboys linebacker coming to the
Speaker 1: league and actually have that drop foot and played the
Speaker 1: first year or so before it all came all the
Speaker 1: way back, So there's bracing that you can use, um
Speaker 1: to handle that. I mean, that was just me visually
Speaker 1: what looking at it. It was what it looked like.
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a tremendous story. He almost lost
Speaker 1: his leg. Um. I'd give him all the credit in
Speaker 1: the world. A boy, I'd still be careful because he's
Speaker 1: gonna be able to protect yourself out there. Tony, we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you again next week. Logs stick around The
Speaker 1: Doug Morone Show is coming up. Thank you for listening
Speaker 1: and watching. This has been Jaguars Happy Hour on the
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. M
