Speaker 4: Congratulations on your first free agent class as a general manager.

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a blast. Just getting a chance to

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 3: be in the bunker, so to speak, with our scouting staff,

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: our coaching staff and football admin really see the vision

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: for the pro free agent class come to life and

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: be executed in the way that it was. Was certainly,

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: you know, just a moment of pride just to see

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: a group of people, you know, working together and doing

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: something that we felt like was moving the needle on

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: the future of the franchise.

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 4: How was the dynamic of the whole free agent approach?

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: I mean, because you know, just a matter of a

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, you just got in and then

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: the coaches kind of just got in a lot of

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: new How did that work?

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was full speed ahead from the moment we

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: arrived in Indianapolis. We had a chance to sit down

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: with both our scouting staff and coaching staff get an

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: idea of what that pro free agent landscape looked like.

38
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: We get back here to Jacksonville and we dive right

39
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: back in and really honing in our priorities, what positions

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: specifically which players within them. And then you know, on

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: the day of there's a lot of uncertainty that comes

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: with you know, how's this going to look? Once the

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: bell rings at noon Eastern and pro free agency at

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: least the legal tampering period begins and what's it going

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: to be come you know, midnight tonight, because unlike the draft,

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: you're looking at a group of players who are you know,

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: they have the ability to say, you know what, we're

48
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: going to go somewhere else or we're going to sign

49
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 3: up to be with you, as opposed to just sending

50
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: the card in and now that player is you know,

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: on your roster in the draft. But it was well

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: executed and a pleasant surprise to see that the nine

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: players that we walked in the door that day being

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: interested in acquiring ended up on our roster as of today.

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: It's gotta be a challenge though, when you're in the

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: negotiating window right you can only talk to agents at

57
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: that point. You can't talk to players until the start

58
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: of the league year at four o'clock on the twelfth.

59
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: So familiarity has to come into play, and it certainly

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: did with some of the guys on this list that

61
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: you brought in, guys that either Liam has had before

62
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: you've been around in LA. Does that help the learning

63
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: curve a little bit for a player that's already kind

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: of been in either your organization or the coaches.

65
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, without a doubt that familiarity plays a major role,

66
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: and it was a part of why we sort of

67
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: tilted in favor of some players over another because at

68
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: the same time, while those players on their own have familiarity,

69
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: it also allows another voice, another player in the room

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: with everybody else of their position group, be able to

71
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: sort of bring to life some nuances outside of just

72
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: a position coach, a coordinator or the head coach making

73
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: mention of different elements that come along with this system.

74
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: And so that definitely played a major role, and I

75
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: think that was reflected in a number of the decisions

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: that we made and seems fairly logical at where we're

77
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: at for sure.

78
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: And I'm guess some of the guys that weren't in

79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: the organization before an organization with somebody before, it just

80
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: kind of it shows up on tapes so much that Okay,

81
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: this guy is a player, We got to go get

82
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: this guy.

83
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I've been saying this. We met with

84
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: the players today individually. It was Tony, myself and Liam

85
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: and and we walked through the vision that we had

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: for them, the class, the profree agent class as a whole.

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: And the term I kept I kept saying to them

88
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: was that your film was speaking to us, and it

89
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 3: was calling us. And none of these players, you know,

90
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 3: weren't in the conversation, you know, solely for their film.

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: They were also vetted through sourced information that spoke to

92
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: who they were as people. And I think I've touched

93
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 3: on it a lot over the weeks that i've been

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: general manager, that we're hunting up in tangibly rich players

95
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: and people and that's what all of these guys fit.

96
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 3: We're not going to invite anybody into this ecosystem that

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: doesn't meet the thresholds that we set. And they're prepared

98
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: to raise the standards at their position, group, their set

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: of the ball, and the team as a whole. And

100
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 3: so we're really excited about the group that we got

101
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: and feel like, you know, the veteran presence and a

102
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: lot of the rooms is going to make a difference.

103
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 4: The one term that you're using their vetted is so

104
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: important because you're making a significant investment in people and

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 4: you have a pool of money as an organization to

106
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 4: be able to spend and making sure that that investment

107
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: has a return is imperative. And I love you using

108
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 4: that term there. And this free agent class, if you

109
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: count it up to guaranteed money, It's not huge compared

110
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: to other And I've always been a big believer that

111
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: the lifeblood of any franchise is the draft itself. Is

112
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 4: that your belief as well. I mean that you have

113
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: to be able to draft the future for a football team.

114
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: It is and I've talked about it a little bit.

115
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: Haven't spent a ton of time on the idea that

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: we will be a franchise that intends on building through

117
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: the draft, and a higher volume of draft capital is

118
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: what we're going to be looking to acquire. And obviously,

119
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: just walking in the door, that's what we had to

120
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: begin with with twenty picks. Over the next two years,

121
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: we've added another. We're now at twenty one following the

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk trade, and you know, we look forward to

123
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 3: working through that process here over the coming weeks and

124
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: the lead up to the draft day. But you know,

125
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: this pro free agent group, really our intent was to

126
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 3: make it so that we were able to answer a

127
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: lot of questions at certain positions, so that we walk

128
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: into the draft and don't feel as if we're pressed

129
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: to prioritize one position over the other. Give us the

130
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: flexibility at each pickpoint to go whichever decision we deem

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: best for the franchise at that point, and I think

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: that that's something that we were able to accomplish here.

133
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, but basically kind of fill in some holes. So

134
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: draft the best available player for you guys out of

135
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: this free agent class. How many do you expect to

136
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 4: be starters out of this group?

137
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: I think everybody's competing for a starting spot. So we

138
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: got nine guys walking in the door, and all nine

139
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: are competing for that time will truly tell. Right now,

140
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: we're doing a lot of talk. I can't wait to

141
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: see those guys bring our vision for them to life

142
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: on the grass. And really, all of them have earned

143
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: this right. It's not like they haven't gotten to this

144
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: point without producing on some way, shape or form, And

145
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: so I think they all want to carry their momentum

146
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 3: that they have that was entering this pro free agent

147
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: window onto the grass as well.

148
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: And do their part.

149
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: And something that we echoed to them was doing more

150
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: than just simply being who they are. We wouldn't have

151
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: prioritized them if they weren't the right person and player

152
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: for us, and so we're not going to ask them

153
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: to be anything more than simply who they are.

154
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: James Glad's doing with US Jaguars GM on Tinton Excel,

155
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. It's Jaguars Happy Hour.

156
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: Let's get to the offensive line pre agents that were

157
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: signed here. Mcarry Hainesy a dogba. I mean, these guys

158
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: all have a track record. It was something around here

159
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: at logs and we talked about this all last season.

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Just a short yardage of physical mentality. Seems like these

161
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: guys all have that. And what stands out about those

162
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 1: three guys specifically upfront?

163
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'll start inside out and with Robert

164
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: Hainsey right. Obviously, the familiarity in Liam's system is a

165
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: major plus. I think you got an entire offensive line

166
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: a quarterback behind him who's going to be learning something new.

167
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: So the conductor, the communicator of the offensive line being

168
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: familiar with all that is going to accelerate that process

169
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: for us. At the same time, he's coming off a

170
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: season where Buccaneers drafted a first round pick at the

171
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: position he ends up winning the starting job. Robert only

172
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 3: gets one op last season to start, and it was

173
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: against the New Orleans Saints. I would urge anybody that's

174
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: listening to go ahead and watch that game and determine

175
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 3: for yourself if that player is intangibly rich or not.

176
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: And he is hungry, he is interested in taking a step.

177
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: He has earned this op through the course of his

178
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: four seasons with the Buccaneers and isn't intending on slowing

179
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: down at all. Beyond that, you got Patrick McCarry, who

180
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: is uh, you know he is.

181
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: He is.

182
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: A background right as someone who was underappreciated coming out

183
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: of college and earning his way into being the most

184
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 3: versatile offensive lineman in the NFL. Started for Baltimore last

185
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: year at guard and is going to be placed on

186
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: the interior to begin his career. Hearer's tenure here with

187
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: the Jaguars, and really that versatility was something that we

188
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: weren't going to overlook. There's always attrition across that position

189
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: group over the course of a season, and so with

190
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: him being able to move from one spot to the

191
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: next on a dime is going to be something that

192
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: we leverage for sure. And then with Chuma, obviously Tony

193
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: coming from usc that was a.

194
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: That was a given. We're gonna end up with one Trojan.

195
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 3: The cool thing with Chumah, right, he's been a Arny

196
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: Men more so than the other two. Gone from one

197
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: club to the next, really found some footing in Dallas,

198
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: and he learned from some you know, some from some

199
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: Hall of fame ol and I think he grew a

200
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: lot when he was there. But getting back to what

201
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: speaks on film, each game that Chumas started this past season,

202
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: he was walking onto the field with the idea that

203
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: he was going to set the tone early and there

204
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: wasn't a first snap where he wasn't playing through the whistle.

205
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: He was always doing his part to make his presence

206
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: felt with his opponent. And so that was something that

207
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: really jumped out to us, and we look forward to

208
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: him being another versatile beast that can go inside and

209
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: out and compete there at the tackle spot.

210
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: I look forward to watching the film on those three

211
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 4: guys and to stay on that side of the bald

212
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 4: Diamie Brown. The Washington Commanders obviously had a lot of

213
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: change over the years, ownership, coaching and everything else. And

214
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: he's a very young player that really hadn't had necessarily

215
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: a stable environment until this past year to really develop.

216
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: And here he is.

217
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 4: I thought this year the look at the numbers, he

218
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: excelled particularly at the end of the year last year.

219
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 4: Is that what you're excited about with him is that

220
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: how all of a sudden he's kind of starting to

221
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 4: peek at the end there at his time in Washington.

222
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: I think we feel that he feels that he wanted

223
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: a one year deal and he wants another crack at

224
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: it this season, build off the moment momentum that he

225
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: had towards the end of last season and get another

226
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: op to get a payday a year from now. And

227
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: he's walking into an opportunity where you know he's going

228
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: to be able to get some balls thrown his way,

229
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: whether it's vertically down the field, stressing the third level

230
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: of a defense, or quickly in the short game. Knowing

231
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: that Liam comes from, you know, a train of thought

232
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: that the screen game is can be a really effective

233
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: mode of operation, and Diami's ability with the ball in hand,

234
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: he's unflinching when he finds a lane, and so we're

235
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: really excited about activating that while also expanding his skill

236
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: set beyond what he's already showcased in Washington. I did

237
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: tell him today, I was like, I'm me the least

238
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: surprising thing for the Los Angeles Rams was that you

239
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 3: became a Jacksonville Jaguar Because dating back to the time

240
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: that he was coming out in the draft, I believe

241
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: it was twenty twenty one, he was somebody that I

242
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 3: was very interested in, thought very highly of.

243
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: So I get a.

244
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: Text from a general manager with the Rams on Monday

245
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: at about three pm that said, I should have known

246
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: in a screenshot of my evaluation, which which read.

247
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: I'll pull it up real well, that's by the way

248
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: for people that are wanted the GM of the RAMS,

249
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: which you worked underneath it.

250
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: Oh, I know it off the top of my head.

251
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: It was a certified deep threat with the capacity to

252
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: become so much more.

253
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: And that was it. That was the evaluation.

254
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: I don't know how many characters that is definitely would

255
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: fit in a tweet, that's for sure, but speaking to that,

256
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: so there is a belief that Diami is in a

257
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 3: position to take another step in his career and we're

258
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: looking forward to seeing that come to life. He's looking

259
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: forward to being more than us this talk and get

260
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: out on the grass. He was walking around the facility

261
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: with a ball in hand already, so he's jacked up.

262
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: He's excited.

263
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: Final couple of minutes with you. Here two defensive signings.

264
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis a cornerback. Eric Murray comes from the Texans.

265
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: But both these guys played a lot of football over

266
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: the years, and Murray with a couple of different teams

267
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: and the Houston the last few years. Jordan Lewis playing

268
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: his whole career with Dallas. But tell us about the

269
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: mindset of those two guys that have seen pretty much

270
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: everything in the NFL.

271
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think with both of them, I think they

272
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: raised the floor of the defensive backfield. Their experience, their

273
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 3: veteran presence, their leadership. It's going to be something that

274
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 3: really impacts our defense in a positive way. Now with

275
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: going into Monday, the bell rings it at noon, right,

276
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: if you would ask me, hey, which of these players

277
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: do you feel most confident that will end up being

278
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 3: a Jaguar by the end of the day and least

279
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: confident in being a Jaguar at the end of the day.

280
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: Surprisingly enough, Jordan Lewis was somebody that I was a

281
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: little less confident knowing that he had spent his entire

282
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: career in Dallas and whether or not we would be

283
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: able to pull him away from those guys because I

284
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: know that they really value him both on and off

285
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: the field, and we really valued him for both of

286
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: those perspectives as well, and ultimately he was the first

287
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: player that we got a deal done.

288
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

289
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: So again, guys, I can be wrong every now and then.

290
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: I don't get them all right, But that worked out

291
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: in our favor. Glad that it did. You know, his

292
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: level of intensity, his coverage capacity, his doggedness is something

293
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: that we're really excited about. And he's really excited to

294
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: step into a veteran role with a lot of younger

295
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: guys around him that he can help expand their understanding

296
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: of the league and tap into his experience to really

297
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: bring him along. And then Eric Murray's somebody who's coming

298
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: off a really really strong season in Houston, obviously familiar

299
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: with the division and the landscape and can be in

300
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: that same breath of a leadership role for a safety

301
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: unit that we think is bound to take another step

302
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: off the heels of last year.

303
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: With those two guys, you mentioned some stories and background

304
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: and familiarity with the guys on offense. Any familiarity with

305
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: those guys on defense or is it just an evaluation

306
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: or is there any story background?

307
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: There's a lot of familiarity with Jordan, in particular, when

308
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: I was with the Rams, we tried a number of

309
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: times to sign him as a pro free agent, which

310
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: is why there was some hesitance around whether or not

311
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: we were going to be able to land him. Happy

312
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: that it worked out the way that it did. But

313
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: you know, offensive coordinators around the league identify him as

314
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: somebody that they always have to account for, and so

315
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: I know Sean McVay being intimate with him, he was

316
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: always spoke very fondly of Jordan as a defender and

317
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: that certainly carried some weight with me in this process,

318
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: knowing what he can mean for our defense and really

319
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: how he's going to influence coaches in their preparation to

320
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: face us.

321
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Final thought with you here, I know you're always looking

322
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: to evaluate the roster and upgrade the roster. That's always

323
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: going to be the case moving ahead. Since we're in

324
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: the new league year now, But what is your focus now?

325
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: Is it more geared toward NFL Draft time coming up?

326
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: All that's not too far away now? Since you got

327
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: the first wave of free agency done, what's next on

328
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: your docket?

329
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: Hey, this is the entertainment business. We still got the

330
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: window here pro free agency if we want to entertain

331
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: a few moves, so time will tell on whether or

332
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: not anything comes to life. Remember, I'm going to just

333
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: drop this again intangibly, Rich, is what we're up If

334
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: you can look out across the pro free agent landscape

335
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 3: and identify who might be in the elite thresholds there,

336
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: those guys are on our radar, and beyond that we

337
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 3: are diving into the draft and preparation there. Look forward to,

338
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: you know, having those conversations with our scouting staff and

339
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: coaching staff really starting next week around some of the

340
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 3: initial player lists that we've pushed out and really see

341
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: what comes to life in those conversations.

342
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: Last question for me obviously the draft being right there

343
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: in the near future, and we've mentioned vetting with veteran guys,

344
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 4: and veteran guys you have a little bit more of

345
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 4: a track record and there's something here, There's stories that

346
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: you can gain through their time as a pro. How

347
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: important is it the vetting process for the college players

348
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 4: and how difficult is that?

349
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: It's critical to the process and understanding who these people

350
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: are off the field and their commitment to the game

351
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: of football is going to be something that weighs heavily

352
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: in our decision making come draft day, and not all

353
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 3: that information is public knowledge. So there are players that

354
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 3: you know, we'll pass on because they don't meet the

355
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 3: standards of source information that we've received really in most

356
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 3: part from the people who have lived with those individuals

357
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: to date on their college campuses, at their hometowns, high schools,

358
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: all those sorts of things. So that'll carry a lot

359
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: a lot of weight in our decision making, and we'll

360
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 3: mirror that with the on field talent and really our

361
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: vision for what can be brought to life come next fall.

362
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: But really looking forward again to that process and diving

363
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 3: in with our college scouting staff here soon as they

364
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: are currently on the pro day circuit, and we'll be

365
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 3: off the road by the end of the month and

366
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: able to provide some insight and updates off the heels

367
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 3: of that.

368
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: James, thanks for the time, congratulations on the free agency class,

369
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: and we'll do it again soon.

370
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 3: Hopefully appreciate the time as well, James.

371
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Ladstone, Jacks GM with us. We're back with plenty more

372
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: in a moment on ten ten XL, Jaguars dot Com

373
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: and Jaguars YouTube. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. But then

374
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of you potential and opportunities here. You know.

375
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: I think looking at the roster, looking at the coaches,

376
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: hearing what they're trying to do here, that's something I

377
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of the change, you know,

378
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: and I hope I could do my part. I want

379
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: to do my part. I want to win football games

380
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: and get that done. It's James McCarey. Oh gosh, it's

381
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: not his name, Patrick McCarey. Card from the Ravens. Jack

382
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: look for Slack. My apologies raven So you'll just learn

383
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: a nine names. There's nine of these guys. Welcome back.

384
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour. I'm JP Shadwick. That's Jeff Blogger,

385
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,239
Speaker 1: but thanks to James Gladstone, Jaguars general manager. We're on

386
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: ten XL, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube from studios at

387
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: the Miller Electric Center, and Jaguars Football is presented by

388
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: Fresh from Florida. It's always in season, you know. There's

389
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: nine of these guys, right, and a lot of free

390
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: agent windows logs. We know this really well. Over the

391
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: last number of years, we won a lot of off seasons, right,

392
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, usually it'll be like a splash name or two,

393
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: and then you fill it in with a few other

394
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: guys and you pay a bunch of money to two

395
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: or three guys. Well, they've evened it out this year.

396
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: There's nine guys. There's nobody really breaking the bank. You're

397
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: not getting a you know, big name that's on NFL

398
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: Network and top tier and all this stuff. But these

399
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: are guys that can come in and help your football

400
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: team right away really well. And I asked him question

401
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: how many he viewed as starters, and he said, they're

402
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: all going to come in and compete for starting jobs.

403
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: But one guy, Jake People probably well, he can compete

404
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: all he wants. Nick mullins, I don't think he's gonna

405
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: win the starting job. And he's backup quarterback.

406
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 4: He's brought in from Minnesota, which is fine, which is

407
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 4: great because he actually is going to have I think

408
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 4: some familiarity which is great with the system.

409
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: Great.

410
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 4: He was there in Miniso of coordinator perfect so I

411
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: think that really helped the quarterback room. And then Hanes

412
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: his familiarity with the system with Liam Cohne and Tampa

413
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 4: also prodes another one that's going to help. I think

414
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 4: the quarterback and I get familiar with the system. But

415
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, just looking at the free agent class,

416
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 4: I mean probably four starters. I mean, if I'm guessing,

417
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: you know, and I can tell you who you think.

418
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: So Eric Murray safety, Okay, you're not signing a guy

419
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: in his tenth year unless he's probably going to be

420
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 4: a starter, especially for twelve million guaranteed dollars. Yeah, I

421
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 4: mean that's I think you could say that he's going

422
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 4: to be a starter.

423
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: McCarry McCarry. McCarry is the proper pronunciation. JP. You talked

424
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: to him at him on the way out of the

425
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: press conference today and he said, mcarey.

426
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be a starter. I don't

427
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: know where because he's so versatile. I mean, I think

428
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 4: he can play inside, he can play outside, but I

429
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 4: envisioned him as a starter.

430
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: James Ladstone just said interior O line. Okay, what that means.

431
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 4: And then Hainsey, which he talked about the job that

432
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: he did against New Orleans as a center. I think

433
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 4: Hainesy's going to be a starting center, and then McCarry

434
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: be a starting guard.

435
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't know which side that would be.

436
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 4: Idoga is probably going to be a guy to come

437
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 4: in and compete for maybe one of those other interior

438
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: spots or swing tackle, maybe a tackle, you know, maybe

439
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 4: compete for a starting job at tackle. Look, the reality

440
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 4: is when you got a new staff and a new

441
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 4: general manager coming in there, there's no givings. And when

442
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 4: he said they're all going to come in and compete

443
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 4: for a starting job, that is true, I think all

444
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 4: across the board, with the exception of the quarterback position,

445
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 4: which there's a reason why Trevor has been the starter

446
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: here for a while and has a quarter billion dollar contract.

447
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: Diami Brown I think is going to have a great

448
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 4: opportunity to be a starter. Christian Kirk was traded, but

449
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 4: again he's going to have to come in and compete.

450
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 4: There are some guys that are currently on the roster

451
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: that are I think going to have an opportunity to

452
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 4: have something to say about that. Jordan Lewis, I think

453
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 4: is the star, hands down, not even fat and I

454
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: especially when you listen to James Gladstone talk about him

455
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 4: and that they tried to get him before in LA

456
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 4: weren't able to do that, and how that Jordan Lewis

457
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 4: changes the way that offensive coordinators approach a game that's

458
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 4: not very There's not very many people in the league

459
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 4: that do that, and that I think says speaks volumes

460
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 4: about him.

461
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: He's a nickel too and can do that. He's not

462
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: just a nickel, yes, but he he started his career,

463
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: he said today, outside early in his career, and he's

464
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: grown into this nickel role and that's what he's been. However,

465
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: he is versatile enough to be able to step outside.

466
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 4: The reality is is that this football team, okay, prior

467
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 4: to free agency, had one starting corner on the roster

468
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: for the most part, the other spot was wide open.

469
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: And when I say that, you know who was the

470
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 4: starter last year?

471
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: Well it was.

472
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 4: It was kind of a merry go round of starters

473
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: opposite of Tyson Campbell.

474
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: Last year, even he was not on the field a

475
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: lot too correct. So I think that Jordan Lewis is

476
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: going to be a starter. Is that a nickel, is

477
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: that a corner? Is he going to play both? I

478
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: don't know, but he's going to be a starter and

479
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the field a ton. He's

480
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: a good football player, so looking forward to watching him play.

481
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: And Jorian Jones has to go somewhere too, got to compete.

482
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 4: Well, look, I mean, Jarry and Jones is a good

483
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 4: football player, got a good skill set.

484
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: Those guys work out together, by the way, which is great, great, great,

485
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean and love it.

486
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 4: And they're going to be competing for some similar roles

487
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 4: and there's nothing wrong with that. Let him compete and

488
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 4: they'll make each other better that way.

489
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: I like it. I also like it. We like it.

490
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 4: I think what's going to be interesting too is that,

491
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 4: you know, when you asked him about free agency or

492
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 4: excuse me, about the draft, and that now that free

493
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 4: agency is kind of wrapped up, he said, as JP,

494
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 4: it's not over with yet kind of that was his answer, right,

495
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 4: And so my impression is that, look, there's still players

496
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 4: in the market, and the market intangibly rich exactly.

497
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: I love the term. I love the term. But what

498
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: what impresses me the most is how they put so

499
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: much And James talks about this, and he puts a

500
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: premium on the vetting process, and you hear so much

501
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: about combine interviews, and then at some point, I think

502
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: a lot of the draft picks are going to be

503
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: coming to visit different teams. How many players are they

504
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: allowed to thirty.

505
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: Okay, thirty you have combine visits and all that kind

506
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 4: of stuff.

507
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: Look, I mean the reality is is that what would

508
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: you rather do? Would you rather talk to the player

509
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: in person? Or would you rather spend the resources and

510
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: talk to everybody that's been around that player for a

511
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: long period of time and that you trust that person's opinion.

512
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: What would you rather have I a ten ten minute

513
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: interview or who years of background? Yeah, who's had to

514
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: deal with this guy? And how is he as a teammate,

515
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: as a player, as everything behind the scenes tells you

516
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot about the person you're to get.

517
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 4: And I think that that's, uh, that's outstanding. I like

518
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 4: the premium that he puts on that process.

519
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: We've got plenty ahead of the new season right around

520
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,200

00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,680

550
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 4: Did you catch that little nugget that that we got

551
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 4: from James Bladstone about what are you talking about?

552
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: Well, when we were talking about a lot of Robert

553
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: he has plenty to say, throwing out nuggets all day.

554
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 4: Well, when we were when we when we he was

555
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 4: talking about Hainsey in particular, he said that Hainsey won

556
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 4: the job out of camp. But Graham Barton, I think,

557
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 4: is the rookie from Duke who played tackle and the

558
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 4: Buccaneers drafted him in the first round, moved him to center,

559
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 4: and then he was the starting center through the air,

560
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: and I think long term Graham Barton Barton might have

561
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: been the long term answer for for the Buccaneers at center.

562
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: But it was interesting hearing James say that, and maybe

563
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 4: I maybe I misheard him, I don't know, but I

564
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 4: thought he said that Hainsey won the job out of camp,

565
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 4: which means that the Buccaneers committed to the younger player

566
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 4: to be maybe long term that's the better answer. But

567
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: he said that Hainsey won the job out of camp,

568
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 4: which means he should have been the starting center or

569
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 4: could have been the starting center. And I can't wait

570
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 4: to watch that film that he's talking about the New

571
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 4: Orleans Saints game, because it was a big win.

572
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 1: Like it was a wild game. So it was fifty

573
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: one twenty seven final. The Bucks led the game seventeen

574
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: to nothing in the first quarter and then lost the

575
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: lead later in the game. It was at one point

576
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen in the second quarter and then twenty

577
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: seven to twenty four at halftime. Saints had the lead,

578
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: and the Bucks scored the final four times of the game,

579
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and just kind of ran away with it

580
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: in second.

581
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 4: I remember watching Hainsey the year before because the Jaguars

582
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 4: played them in December in a game that they didn't

583
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 4: play very well if you remember back, and they didn't

584
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 4: play well in a lot of games, yeah, I know,

585
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 4: but this one was kind of memorable because right around

586
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 4: Christmas time.

587
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: It was not a good performance.

588
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 4: And Hainsey was the starting center and that was a

589
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 4: game in which the Buccaneers dominated the game.

590
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: Up front.

591
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 4: Hainsey was a part of that, and I remember getting

592
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 4: ready to watch or getting ready to call the game.

593
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 4: I was watching the Buccaneers on film and I remember

594
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 4: look watching the center for the Buccaneers and Hainsey's got

595
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 4: kind of real big up top, a little thinner down low.

596
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 4: And I don't know if he's worked on that edge

597
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 4: of it or not, but I just remember that he

598
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: was definitely what when he talks about playing to the

599
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: whistle and beyond, Jane Clapstone said that I do remember

600
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 4: that about Hainsey. So looking forward to watching that game

601
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 4: against the Norland Saints, I.

602
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: Wonder what intangibly rich players he might be talking about

603
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: still out there free agency.

604
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: I'm sure there could be a lot of guys, but look,

605
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 4: I think intangibly rich it means a lot of different things,

606
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 4: and it can be and can be many different things.

607
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: It can be what a guy means to a locker room.

608
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: It could mean what a player does to elevate those

609
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 4: around him, not just worrying about his own little home.

610
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: And also, I think.

611
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 4: Being able to raise the competition level in the off

612
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 4: season with guys to help make them better and the

613
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 4: way they train. I mean there's lots of different things

614
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 4: that you could consider intangibles, and in tangibles, I think

615
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 4: by definition, is something that you can't sit there and

616
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 4: put your finger on specifically, or you can't sit there

617
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 4: and point to and say, hey, this is it. But

618
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: there are a lot of things I think that would

619
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: qualify into that category. And I think the most important

620
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 4: thing is the person that is inside that. What kind

621
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 4: of a person, what's the quality of the person inside

622
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: that you can't actually look at and sit there and say, oh,

623
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: he has that, But it's something that's kind of nondescript,

624
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: So I guess that's kind of odd, right, I mean,

625
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: but it is. It's something that's incredibly important. If you

626
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 4: can find guys that are leaders of men and have

627
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 4: that gift, I think that you're going to have a

628
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 4: heck of a great time with your football team if

629
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 4: you can get those guys that have that.

630
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: You got to think about how how long James Gladstone

631
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: has been on the job here, and that's only been

632
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: what two weeks?

633
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 4: I can't imagine half weeks. I mean, I mean that's

634
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 4: there's a lot. There is a tremendous amount of work

635
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 4: that they have had to do and I know when

636
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 4: he was hired he said that, you know, we don't

637
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 4: feel like we're behind in any way. But I mean

638
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 4: it's a brand.

639
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: New you're here's the staff and good luck well, and

640
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: I think that, I mean from his standpoint.

641
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 4: Look, I mean it's it's great if you never feel

642
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 4: like that you're behind or that you're trying to play

643
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 4: catch up, because it means that you're confident in what

644
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 4: you're doing, and it means that where you were at

645
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: you've obviously done a lot of work anticipating the future.

646
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 4: And I think that's one thing about James. I think that,

647
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 4: first of all, he very smart, and that's very obvious.

648
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: And but all these coaches that were assembled have also

649
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: been working towards the future as well, but at other places.

650
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 4: So it's not like everybody just showed up up and

651
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 4: they've been, you know, sitting on the couch at home

652
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 4: drinking people watching movies and drinking Pinion clouds and eating.

653
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: Cheetos in their underwear. Okay, so why do you point

654
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: at me when you say that, no, I'm not I

655
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: didn't come on, didn't mean you come on, I didn't

656
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: mean you you know better than that. But I'm excited

657
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: to see you know. And and here's the thing. So

658
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: many years this football team has won this time of year. Oh,

659
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: we know how to win an off season around here.

660
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean we have. We have a streak of off

661
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: season victories.

662
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: And if there is ever something that we have that

663
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 4: we could have learned over the years, is that have

664
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 4: you ever heard of the Kansas City Chiefs or the

665
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens or who else past Super Bowl winners name

666
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 4: them the Rams? Have those teams ever been like the

667
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 4: big winners this time of year?

668
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's right this long term, it's the life.

669
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: Plood of disfranchises through the draft and this team. And look,

670
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that this free agent class is not good.

671
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 4: I could I think, like I said, I think they

672
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 4: got four or five starters out of that, which is

673
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 4: what you need. And also what James talked about is

674
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 4: that if you can fill some holes with free agents,

675
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 4: then also it allows you to let your draft board

676
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 4: kind of naturally happen. In other words, you're picking the

677
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 4: best player instead of feeling like you have to pick need.

678
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 4: And I think that's incredibly important because and I've always

679
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 4: been a believer in this plug your holes in free agency.

680
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 4: You don't need to make a big, giant splash with

681
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 4: a ton of guaranteed money. Just plug your holes and

682
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 4: then put all your resources and energy and focus on

683
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 4: the draft and take the best player that.

684
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: You can get that are intangibly rich. We'll use that term.

685
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 1: There you go, I mean and you feel it now,

686
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: so that okay, we can break a huddle if we

687
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: had to with the team you have you want to be,

688
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: and then go get the best players. On top of that,

689
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: I hope the new roof at the stadium across the

690
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: street here whenever it's done. Twenty eight. It's heavy. For

691
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: all these off season championship banners that the Jaguars have,

692
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of those. Gotta get rid of those.

693
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: We don't want to worry, No, no, no, we wanted heavy

694
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: for real. Yeah, that's right, Divisions, what you want, super

695
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: Bowl championship, that's what you want. That's what it's there for.

696
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: We're back at a moment. We'll get our final thoughts

697
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: in and yes, free agents are here, and by the

698
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: by the way, can turn a break.

699
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 4: We need to add up real quick, what the ballpark

700
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 4: of the top five guys money wants.

701
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: I was told there would be no math on the

702
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: show today. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. Man.

703
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 6: We were so close, you know, we was always always

704
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 6: there for each other. We can communicate like what we saw.

705
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 6: And we had some some older guys in there, like

706
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 6: Bobby and zach Ertz and you know, they they kind

707
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 6: of let j Jayden lean on them a whole lot

708
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 6: more so, and we all leaned on each other. And

709
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 6: we had some guys that can that played a different

710
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 6: type of role and for us, like how they had

711
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 6: the standard was it was always player led and we

712
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 6: kind of understood that. So I think that that run there,

713
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 6: we just fell on each other and became like kept

714
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 6: that brotherhood going, and that's what got us through the

715
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 6: hard times, the tough times. And you could see like

716
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 6: we were finishing finishing games. You know, like a lot

717
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 6: of games were close, but we'll finish because that's what

718
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 6: that's what we wanted to do, and we trusted in

719
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 6: each other to get things done and that's what happened.

720
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: Stiami Brown Wide receiver from the Washington Commanders. Welcome back

721
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour. JP Shadwick with Jeff Lagerman. We're at

722
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: the Hundai Studios Jaguars Happy Hour presented by dream Finders Homes,

723
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: official homebuilder of the Jacksonville jack Is That answered from

724
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: a question about the playoff run and what was the

725
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: mood of the locker room and how it came together,

726
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: And that was his description of how the playoff run

727
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: for Washington came together and fell just a little bit

728
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: short of the Super Bowl.

729
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 4: A magical run for an organization that has been in

730
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 4: a bad position for many years under the ownership of

731
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 4: Daniel Schneider, and felt like the fans felt like they

732
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 4: didn't have.

733
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: Any kind of hope.

734
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 4: And then ownership changed, and the regime changed, a lot

735
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 4: of people in the organization changed, and the most important

736
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 4: thing the quarterback changed and that really changed the direction

737
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 4: of that franchise.

738
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: And they had a magical year. And the challenge is

739
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: to try to find a way to get back to

740
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: the same place. The key thing he said in that

741
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: to me though, was it was player led. That's where

742
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: it really has to take hold. Yes, you could have

743
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: culture and the coaches and things, the players don't buy

744
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: an to it and run with it. You got a problem.

745
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 4: And if you go back and you looked at what

746
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 4: Washington did they they let go of a lot of

747
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 4: players that were starters slash high picks that they just

748
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 4: weren't going to move forward with and that it takes

749
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 4: courage sometimes to do that. And I'm not trying to

750
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 4: draw any parallels to what the Jaguars have done, because

751
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 4: the Jaguars, I think, you know, and when you look

752
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 4: at who they have released, for example, Jaguars traded Christian Kirk,

753
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 4: you release Evan Ingram, But you know, those two guys

754
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 4: are high caliber, high quality guys, and so the business

755
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: of the game, yeah, they don't fall into that category

756
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 4: of trying to to you know, separate from the past,

757
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 4: because those aren't the kind of character guys that you know,

758
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 4: you want to have.

759
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: Those those are the guys you'd like to have.

760
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 4: Those two guys are high character guys that just, you know,

761
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: the money, the pay versus play weren't where they believed

762
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 4: it needed to be at. But you know, every organization's

763
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 4: got to be able to take bold steps to get

764
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 4: some type of change in the future. And sometimes some

765
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 4: of those bold changes come from making financial decisions to

766
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 4: be able to get the best performance per dollar that

767
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 4: you can get.

768
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: And that's just part of the business which of these

769
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: three agent signings are you most excited about?

770
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 4: Lux Well, I mean, look, I'm obviously a big fan

771
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 4: of the offensive line and the need for this offense

772
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 4: to get less dependent on the quarterback.

773
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: And so McCarry Hainesy.

774
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 4: I mean, those are the guys that I think that

775
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 4: I'm excited about the Mostoga. We'll make sure I pronounced

776
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 4: that correctly. I think it's going to provide some great competition.

777
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 4: Diamie Brown. I'm excited because you know what I mean,

778
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 4: just listening to James's evaluation of him about the ability

779
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 4: to go deepen and to be so much more.

780
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: And he's still young, he's still growing. There's a lot

781
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: to see.

782
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 4: And I love it when players are on a one

783
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 4: year prove it deal because they feel the need to

784
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 4: prove it. And so when you're looking for motivation, I

785
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 4: don't think you're going to find a more motivated player

786
00:39:59,000 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 4: than Diamie Brown.

787
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: Season coming up and now it's about moving forward. The

788
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: offseason program can officially begin on the seventh of April.

789
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: Since there's a new head coach in place, I think

790
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: players will be in here probably the eighth officially, so

791
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: workouts can begin then and you can start throwing the

792
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: playbook around and talking ball and for a certain small

793
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: set amount of time each day. But it's better than nothing.

794
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: So it's coming.

795
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 4: Quick, yeah, and it's look, it can't get here soon enough,

796
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 4: you know, just to kind of get that momentum going

797
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 4: forward to twenty twenty five in the season, and I

798
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 4: know that there's a lot of fans that are excited

799
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 4: about this year, and there's a lot of fans that

800
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 4: are wanting to see the improvement and kind of in

801
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 4: that prove it mode. And I'm excited about this football

802
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 4: team moving forward. I think they've got a great mindset

803
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 4: when it comes to James Gladstone as the GM basally

804
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 4: is the EVP operations EVP and then also Liam conn

805
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 4: I'm excited for it. I can't wait to watch what's next.

806
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 4: But most importantly for me, the the importance of the

807
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 4: draft in the mindset of this franchise. I just get

808
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: the feeling that it's changed and it's changed for the better.

809
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: The whole concept when James is talking about, you know,

810
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 4: filling the holes and then being free to draft, you know,

811
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 4: the best available players, and that's the lifeblood of the franchise.

812
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 4: That excites me because I think that this team now

813
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 4: has a chance to to establish itself in the direction that.

814
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: It needs to be moving in. When are you gonna

815
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: start watching a draft eligible film?

816
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 4: Well, I'll start watching film with the free agents and

817
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 4: the draft eligible players this week coming up. Okay, it

818
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 4: will start probably this weekend. I usually wait to get

819
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 4: the free agency because then once it gets to free agency,

820
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 4: you can actually watch the free agents that the team

821
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 4: actually signs. And then I start watching some of the

822
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 4: college prospects, you know, and you know, I probably watch

823
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty guys, you know, somewhere in that range,

824
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 4: you know, top couple rounds, you know, top top five

825
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 4: to ten, depending on positions, you know, across the board.

826
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: You get an idea. I know, you always like look

827
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: at the quarterbacks. You know, I probably won't. I mean,

828
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: I'll look at a little bit of the quarterbacks system,

829
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean, just because I mean you have to be

830
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: able to talk quarterback if you're going to talk about

831
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: the top of the draft, you know, but I'm not

832
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: going to watch them with the intent that this football

833
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: team is obviously going to draft them. But you know,

834
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: here's a great thing where this team is picking at

835
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: depending on how things end up turning out ahead of them.

836
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the Jaguars may be in a great position

837
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: to turn that fifth overall pick into a bounty of

838
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: future picks by trading back a little bit.

839
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, if there's a quarterback that is there for a

840
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 4: team's liking that does not lie in the top five.

841
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 4: So my hope is is that there's some guys that

842
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 4: get pushed to the top. You know, when I say

843
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 4: the top ahead of the Jaguars, that pushes the quarterbacks down,

844
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 4: and then the quarterback needy team ends up saying, hey, James,

845
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 4: we really want that fifth overall pick, and here's what

846
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 4: we're willing to give, and hopefully that's a lot of picks.

847
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of guys we left out in

848
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: the free agent signings. We have the tight end. The

849
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: tight end, Yeah, I mean, like I think that these

850
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: guys are Johnny Munt and Hunter Long, and I think

851
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: that those guys are rotational players and backup type of players.

852
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: And look, I know that they're coming in to compete

853
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: for a starting role and at some point they may

854
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: have to be a starter. But look, the the future

855
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: of this football team at tight end is Breton Strange. Yes,

856
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: Breton Strange is a really good football player. JP. You

857
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: know how I felt about him for a long time.

858
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: And James doubled that down today in the press conference

859
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: which is available at Jaguars dot com and Jaguars you

860
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: to hear what he said. He basically said, yeah, I'd

861
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: get ready because it's Britain's Strange. Time's not exact terms, right,

862
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, look, he's a great football player. You know.

863
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 4: The difference between Brenton Strange and Evan Ingram is this,

864
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 4: and both of them are very good football players, but

865
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 4: they're very different. Evan Ingram is a is more of

866
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 4: an h kind of a wide receiver tight end hybrid.

867
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 4: Breton Strange is a true tight end. Breton Strange causes

868
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 4: more of a matchup nightmare for defensive coordinators than I

869
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 4: think Evan Ingram because Evan Ingram gets treated like a

870
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 4: true wide receiver by defensive coordinators. You can't do that

871
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 4: with Brenton.

872
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: Strangeyeh, Brenton can line up in the backfield as a

873
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: fullback if you really wanted to, and hit.

874
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 4: You in the masts and does an outstanding job of blocking.

875
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 4: Does I think better things after the catch? Probably than

876
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 4: what Evan Ingram has done. Not to say that everything

877
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 4: is not a good football player, because he really is

878
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: a good.

879
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: Football season was pretty strong, high quality guy too, So

880
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. So. Brian Thomas Jr. Was out at the

881
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: Players today TPC saw Gray making the rounds good. Did

882
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: he play any golf? I don't, Well, I don't know

883
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: if he's that good to play with the pros to

884
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: Today's the first round of the tournament. You're going out tomorrow.

885
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm going tomorrow.

886
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 4: All right, People can be a on lookout for Shadwick

887
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 4: at the Players. I'm gonna make a visit out there

888
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 4: this weekend, looking forward.

00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: To it's a it's always a fun week in town.

890
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: Everybody's all fired up, the beach is crowded and all

891
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: that stuff.

892
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 4: It's a it's a great attraction and it's a it's

893
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 4: a great experience for those that have never done it,

894
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 4: and I look forward to it. I'm not a golfer,

895
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 4: but to be able to appreciate the professional athletes for

896
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 4: what they do, I mean, I think that's that's pretty cool.

897
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm terrible at it. I like watching it.

898
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 4: I can't do it, so when I when I watch

899
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 4: somebody that can do something that I can't do.

900
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's with great appreciation that I watch. It's

901
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: like watching hockey players. I could never play hockey. I

902
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,959
Speaker 1: can't even skate, and kidding me, I tried barely walking straight.

903
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: I tried.

904
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 4: It's like, well, one of the sports that I'm a

905
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 4: big fan of, baseball, used to play baseball football. Of course,

906
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 4: I played football golf, and I was a hack when

907
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 4: I did it, you know, but it's been a long

908
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 4: time since I've done it, but I could still swing

909
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 4: a club.

910
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: I like to publicly apologize to the Grove golf Course

911
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: in England. That's the last time I played, and I

912
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: hacked it to pieces. I have my apologies. That's called

913
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: getting that's called getting your money's worth. They got all

914
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: their golf balls back that I bought, They have them all.

915
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: There's somewhere out there on the course a lot, in

916
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: other words, a lot of filler. Yeah, you know what

917
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: is that stuff called.

918
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 4: It's like dirt and seed mix that you always fill

919
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 4: your divots with. I mean, and they sometimes come in

920
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 4: a bottle. So you had an extra one of them

921
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 4: on the cart Did you have a cartage? You actually

922
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:28,919
Speaker 4: was a cart.

923
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not walking. You're you're not a walk guy,

924
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: I look like I walk. Don't answer that. Oh, you're

925
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: wearing all black today, jas, it looks like you could

926
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: walk to it. Don't answer that. Good weather though, tomorrow

927
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: Saturday in the high seventies, low eighties, sunshine most of

928
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: the day. A little rain in the forecast on Sunday.

929
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: So hopefully that doesn't hit the tournament this weekend. Well,

930
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: it at least allows them to get it in. Yeah,

931
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: just a little bit of rain. As long as it

932
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have a whole lot of heat, you know, then

933
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: be all.

934
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 4: Right, just get it in. Yeah, be all right. It's

935
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 4: it's an epic event. It's an outstanding event. I know

936
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 4: that the Jaguars are you know, Brian Thomas was out

937
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 4: there today.

938
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure that the specialists were out there yesterday. I

939
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: saw the kicker and the long snapper were there, you know,

940
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: doing social media stuff. Oh yeah, absolutely, So that was cool,

941
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: And there'll be more of those guys throughout the weekend.

942
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I think the coaches probably might have some

943
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: time off to get out there too. All right, So

944
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question.

945
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 4: With free agency still going not over with no, it's

946
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 4: never over. If you had to pick a position that

947
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 4: the Jaguars would still look at, what might you think

948
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 4: that position would be.

949
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: I would have thought defensive line until today when James

950
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: said at the press conference, no, we're waiting for the

951
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: rookies to play there. So sounds like they're going to

952
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: lean that way a.

953
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 4: Little bit in the draft, which, by the way, that

954
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 4: the Rams were pretty good at finding hookies that can play.

955
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 4: You think, so I would have said that since you

956
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 4: know that he said that, he literally said it.

957
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: Where else would you look at? Wide receiver? I think

958
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 1: that could be one wide receiver?

959
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 4: I think I think the smaller guys I think are

960
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 4: still in play, whether it be a wide receiver or

961
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 4: corner or a corner because you know, look last year

962
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 4: the Jaguars, you know, kind of had an issue at

963
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 4: corner and even though you signed one, that's a position

964
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 4: where you play a lot of them and if you

965
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 4: have an injury that you'd like to have some depth

966
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 4: there some When I say depth, depth that you can

967
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 4: count on. So I know that they have Monteric Brown

968
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 4: obviously there as well, but I think that's a position.

969
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: Linebacker I think is also an interesting one. Yeah, that

970
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: was inconsistent last year, to say the least, and I

971
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: think that that's one of the reasons why I kind

972
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: of kind of went there a little bit. Yeah, ok,

973
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: I think that that's going to be an interesting position

974
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: to watch obviously going forward. And where people play, Yeah,

975
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: who plays, whether playing when they're playing? How often that me?

976
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 4: He snaps it again, I mean when you have a

977
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 4: new regime. Okay, Uh, there's no past favorites, you know

978
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 4: what I mean, clean slate. Everybody starts from ground zero.

979
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: Okay.

980
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 4: When I say everybody starts from ground zero, look, nobody

981
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 4: cares where you drafted out in the past. Nobody cares

982
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 4: about your contract unless it's overly expensive.

983
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: Care about it. If it's overly expensive, you might not

984
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: be around. Let me correct myself. They always care about

985
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: your contract professional football, the contract matters, but.

986
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 4: Where you came from doesn't matter. And I think that

987
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 4: that's sometimes refreshing and good to kind of cleanse the system,

988
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 4: so to speak.

989
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: Logs, we got through another hour. Are you actually surprised? No,

990
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at all. I'm just saying I'm just

991
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: stating facts. Thanks to James clas Are we gonna have

992
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 1: the head coach next week. I mean we had the GM.

993
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: We should just keep getting executives all week and weeks ago.

994
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: Liam Combe.

995
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 4: Maybe next week Mike can put in a request and

996
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 4: then maybe put in a request.
