When JP's on vacation, how did 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: he know? Oh wow, trying to Patrick on the back 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: and you guys call him down. Do you know I'm 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: going to steal that line and use it as often 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: as possible. That's how I standing. He's gonna listen to 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: this on the way back and he'll be upset. He's 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: heard He's heard me asking that a million I'm laugh 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: in order one of my bad go to jicks. Yeah, 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: you have a couple of those, and you can be 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: sure that he will grab that line and use it 21 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: where he can too. Yes, he will. So it's a 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: it's a slow We kind of turned into a busy 23 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: week at the end of the week. Rookie Minicamp is 24 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: this weekend. We're so waiting to hear what that hales. 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: It has definitely changed since the Dante Fowler injury and 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: how we cover rookie Mini Camp. But the good news 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: is that the Jaguars draft picks will come to Jacksonville 28 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: this week and get settled and know where the bathrooms 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: are in the cafeterians kind of the first step. And 30 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: then we have schedule release this Thursday. That's always exciting, 31 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: and the London announcement last week so slow, but yet 32 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: that stuff going on this week. Rookie Minicamp certainly has 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: changed for the smarter around the NFL, and we kind 34 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: of use the Dante Fowler a c l as our 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: flashpoint because it changed for this franchise after that, But overall, 36 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: teams have figured out that a putting a rookie on 37 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: and having him do one on one pass rush two 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: days after he arrives or sometimes the day arrives after 39 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: training for non football stuff, after not doing anything, and 40 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: five months away from the radio season. However long we 41 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: are four is uh, when it teems, don't do it anymore. 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: So now it's an orientation. It's funny that we didn't 43 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: consider it beforehand, right, I mean the well, yeah, these 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: guys they play in a full college season, right, and 45 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: then immediately get into the training aspect of preparing, as 46 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: John said, for non football specific things like the forty 47 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: yard dash, the three cone drill. I mean, they are 48 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: working for these tests that they take and and people go, well, 49 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: I mean it's football skills, yeah, but it's different. And 50 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: I remember standing there when Dante hit the ground and 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't I didn't know it was Dante at first. 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: And I turned to Dan Edwards and said, was that 53 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: the first round pick? And Dan went yeah, I mean 54 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: it was just so deflating for the franchise and for 55 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: the coaching staff to not have you know, this premier player, 56 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: this pass rusher that that they had needed and he 57 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: was gone. So they're smart about it now and they're 58 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: just trying to downs at orientation and they show them 59 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: with locker room is they get them into kind of 60 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: a meeting schedule so that when they show up here 61 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: for training camp they kind of understand the flow of 62 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: how it's supposed to go. Yeah, it's something that's needed 63 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: and it's kind of a process to get them in 64 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: the building, but totally different than what it was a 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Completely, And I know John is 66 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: okay with that because we won't be on the field 67 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: for four days. Well, I think we'll be on the 68 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: field on on Friday. I think, so sure, just one day, 69 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: you're okay with That's fine, And then we have schedule 70 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: release this Thursday. We know the Cowboys, Ravens and Giants 71 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: will be home games along the course with a division 72 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: and we know that the jog Wars will play the 73 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: Broncos in London, and head coach Doug Peterson was actually 74 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football in that announcement came out saying 75 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: London was one of the first things he checked off 76 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: the list. One of my first meetings really was with 77 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: with our our London team and and meeting meeting and 78 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: all the all the folks that are involved with the trip. 79 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: And so we we have our our our plan in 80 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: place and and we're we're ready for you know, for 81 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: for the trip and obviously the game October, and so 82 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's something you do have to spend some 83 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: time and think about the travel and getting all your 84 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: guys and gear and equipment and the technology over there. Um, 85 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, as an organization, and and you gotta do 86 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: it early. And so we've done that, we put our 87 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: plan in place, and we're just kind of waiting on 88 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: the week to get here. All right, Brian, what do 89 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: you think about that matchup? Um, well, it's Russell Wilson. 90 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean Denver had talent, but they had no quarterback. Right. 91 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: They have some pieces on defense that are very very talented, 92 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: and we saw them last year, but they didn't have 93 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: a quarterback, which is why the Jaguars I think we're 94 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: able to stay with him for a while. Um, Russell 95 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: Wilson in London is It's just it's a marquee matchup. 96 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean Trevor Lawrence, who we all anticipate taking a 97 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: step forward and Russell Wilson, who's in a new place. 98 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: I think it becomes a game that a lot of 99 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: people around the league are gonna want to watch. Yeah, 100 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: there was some chatter at the owners meetings and and 101 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: and and probably since I just haven't heard it since 102 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: that that Denver did want to a overseas uh this year, 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: and it was talked that it was going to be 104 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: this game because of their of their sales situation something 105 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: to do with that, they wanted to be over there 106 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: and and I'd be in that profile. Um I it 107 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: had gotten down when you looked at the schedule logically 108 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: that it was gonna be one of a couple of games. 109 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: They probably were not going to put the Dallas game there. 110 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: They had already done that eight years ago, so you 111 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: would have thought that they were not going to put 112 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. You know, they're gonna get the Cowboys in 113 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: this stadium at some point, since they had not gotten 114 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: them in there in what two thousand and fourteen and 115 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: the the last time they were here, I think right, 116 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: and then they were in London and two thousand fourteen 117 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: and one of the early London not tobacco games or 118 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: debacles or uh so. Uh. Yeah, it'll be a good 119 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: matchup and it'll be a matter of if if if 120 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are I assume the Bronchos gonna go with 121 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Are the Jaguars operating yet at an efficiency 122 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: level to play with better teams. That will be the 123 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: storyline earlier. You know, the talk on Russell Wilson is legit, obviously, 124 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: but they I mean, Jerry Judy is a an explosive 125 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: receiver and now he's got a quarterback who can really 126 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: take advantage the Broncos. Well, yeah, I mean the Broncos go. Well, 127 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: let's put it this way. The a f C West 128 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: was always going to be really good. Now. I can't 129 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: recall a division with as much hype around it at 130 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: any point in my thirty year is covering this league. 131 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean, all four teams have legitimate claims. And I 132 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: mean if you consider David Carr to be a premier quarterback, 133 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: and you know he certainly has the potential to be 134 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: really good, especially now that he's got the wide receiver 135 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: Davante Adams. I mean, anything in the a f C 136 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: West is much washed football. And it was a great 137 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: move by Denver to go and bring him in. And 138 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: Derek Carr is not bad nose David that time to time. 139 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: I do it all the time. And as far as 140 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: the Broncos, anytime you can roll Rob Little and Haven 141 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: Moses out there, you're in this game back. It will 142 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: be Halloween weekend, and notable that this will be the 143 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: jaguars ninth time in London and this is the first 144 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: time the Broncos will play in London. And I was 145 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: on a podcast with the Broncos reporter and she's like, 146 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: tell me about it. I mean, how is this gonna work? 147 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: And yes, it's Russell Wilson. But that's an incredible advantage 148 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars that they have done this way more 149 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: times in the Broncos have it should be I mean 150 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. Certainly a logistical advantage. Uh, with 151 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: the turnover the roster, in the turn of the coaching staff, 152 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: I think there is a a little bit of a 153 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: catch up that the staff will have to do and 154 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: some of the players have to do to get ready 155 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: for it. Um. Yeah, it as I believe London is 156 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: an advantage for a team and a roster if about 157 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: people have been over there already. But certainly the logistics 158 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: team of the Jaguars gives this team an advantage in 159 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: terms of getting over there and knowing how to do it. 160 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: In terms of the body, I do think generally speaking, 161 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: this franchise is figured out how to be at their 162 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: physical best and their mental best once they're on that field. 163 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: The issue though, going forward is that there are so 164 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: many international games now. They're playing in multiple cities and 165 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: multiple countries. Obviously, Um, you know, you'd say that about 166 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: a team, as John mentioned, that hasn't been over there, 167 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of people with the experience. But 168 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: now it looks like every team is going to play overseas, 169 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, every two or three years, and so that 170 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: starts to diminish, you know, somewhat. Yeah. I mean you 171 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: had the Jaguars whips were known as London's team basically, 172 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: but in five years is that the same thing when 173 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: when you have so many teams now that are playing there, 174 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: I think it loses its appeal for sure, not as much. 175 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: But if the Jaguars continue being Wembley's team, uh, I 176 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: think there will be a a little bit of a 177 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: comfort uh and a little bit of a connection. Will 178 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: it play out too? I mean I thought there were 179 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: two or three years there, Uh when they beat the 180 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: bill is over there. The Ravens where it felt like 181 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: it was turning in, especially the Ravens game, it felt 182 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: like the Ravens had no desire to be there in 183 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: two thousand seven days. The Jaguars were ready because they 184 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: knew London since then. But it's also the old thing 185 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: that Jaguars haven't had a great home field advantage for 186 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: ten years. You know why, because they've been bad. So 187 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: that hurts when you're trying to get an advantage for something. 188 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how interested people are in this, so 189 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: i won't go deep in. But you mentioned Wembley. Um, 190 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: you know the league has that partnership with Tottenham where 191 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: they played last year. And going back to Wembley, if 192 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: this is the Jaguars game, I mean they are. They 193 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: have a much greater financial gain, or the potential for 194 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: more financial gain, because they are taking on all the 195 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: risk of this and they are putting the game together. 196 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: So just going back to Wembley's not oh they liked Wembley. 197 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: It's this is a great opportunity for a franchise. There's 198 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: a lot of projects going on, as you understand, and 199 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: and and soon a building project here. To have what 200 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: has always been a big check be even bigger, create 201 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: even more opportunity for this franchise to succeed financially. So 202 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: it's an important game this year. It is it's cool 203 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: to play out when you have a game production meetings 204 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: and and everything that goes into it, and it's crazy 205 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: to think how you can possibly do that from oceans 206 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: away and still make it work. Technology and what people 207 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: are talking about is that the logistical team of the 208 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: Jaguars that usually focuses on ta bankfield is doing a 209 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: lot of the logistics of that game. I think, as 210 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: you said, Brian, fans listen to this. I think at 211 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: the team on the field, but those people in this 212 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: event this year are doing a dramatic amount of more 213 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: work and it's important. And we, you know, being the 214 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: small market that we are and having the challenges that 215 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: we've had, people understand that this team needs to do 216 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: well at the box office to compete with those big 217 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: franchises in the big markets that make exponential more dollars 218 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: off things like naming rights. So this is an opportunity 219 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: for this franchise to eat up some of the distance 220 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: between them and the other franchises and to put cash 221 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: in the pocket that is used to pay fo big player. Right, 222 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: speaking of box office, the Jaguars are future focused and 223 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: ready for a new look in to join us at 224 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 1: the bank this season.

I think you guys have 230 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: seen enough or talked to him. Alon. I know you 231 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: did an interview with him, uh, right, for the draft. 232 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: He's a great interview. He's a fascinating kid. He has 233 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: two or three degrees. He has an undergrad engineering degree, 234 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: a master's in some sort of engineering that I don't 235 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: know what it means, aerospace. Uh. I was gonna ask 236 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: him what that meant, but I know it wouldn't understand, 237 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: so don't go there. And then he has an in 238 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: b A or is getting an NBA. So I actually 239 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: asked him at the top. I said, look, Luky, were 240 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: in college for six years and you've got nothing to 241 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: fall back. A waste of time? What and an intelligent kid? 242 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: H I He's the first draft pick that I had 243 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: talked to extensively at all. But I've I've been on 244 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: zoom interviews and in that world with all Um. They 245 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: all seem like guys that it made sense why they 246 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: drafted them in terms of their uh intelligence level, their 247 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: passion for football. I mean, this kid always has a 248 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: passion for football. I wouldn't be playing he he interned 249 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: at NASA. You know, he's got some opportunities that Brian, 250 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: you and I never had. So Um called, you know, 251 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: they called, and I missed the call so that it 252 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: was one of those it's a potential spam on it. 253 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: And I said, well, you know, but so it's clear 254 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: there's there was a trend with this draft class of 255 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: guys who can't who are high level intelligence, high level character. 256 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: It makes sense when you are building like they are 257 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: and trying to get the organization going in a direction. 258 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: To Doug Peterson, I like the kid, we'll see if 259 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: you can play. I was on the airplane coming back 260 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: from Vegas when they drafted him, so I didn't. I 261 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: wasn't part of that zoom call. Um for you to 262 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: say those things, right, the three degrees, the Nacy internship, 263 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: it makes me think this kid can win the shorting 264 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: job as a rookie. At some point. I'm gonna pullem 265 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: a side that what are you doing? He's taking the 266 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: capital is a hard game. You get hurt out there. Well, 267 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if I if I'm thinking, let's see, Okay, 268 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: I have an m b A. I need the capital 269 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: to fund my own aerospace company. I'm gonna do you know, um, 270 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: what is what is Musk's? Uh? You lost me? Well, 271 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: I know, Tesla. What's the name of his the space 272 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: space Joe helps space X That Twitter is another one? 273 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: SpaceX right, gonna fund his own SpaceX? Doesn't he own Crypto? 274 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: He might own all of it, But but you get 275 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: the point. I mean, this is a guy who's gonna 276 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: gonna get the most out of football and then get 277 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: the most out of life. So good for him. And 278 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: you know you've got a new a new coach coming 279 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: in a new scheme. Tyler Shatley's obviously got an eight 280 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: year head start on him in terms of being a 281 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: professional football player. But I mean they drafted this kid 282 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: to start. If he's that smart, maybe he'll pick it 283 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: up quick. And I don't want to over emphasize. I 284 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: mean it's sort of an easy he has three degrees 285 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: to talk about that. So he he was drafted number 286 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: sixty five, overall, which is an interior alignment means you're 287 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: being drafted as a long term starter who's going to 288 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: be good and potential pro Bowl. I mean that's a 289 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: it's a premium position for that. And he's incredibly tough 290 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: kid and a lot of people have heard the story 291 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: against Florida. Kentucky beat Florida last year. Slant out if 292 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: remember that. Um he he he cut his eye and 293 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: played with stitches. And he tells the story during the podcast, 294 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: and he told him before of the first trainer came 295 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: out and looked at his eye after he had heard it, 296 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: and he said it was just a blurry. I figured 297 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: I had gotten poked in the eye. He said, the 298 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: trainer came out and oh, And he said the doctor 299 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: came out after that went oh, an he kind of 300 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: Joe Jeff said, you don't love hearing the trainer go. 301 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: You don't like those people being surprised at what they 302 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: see when they come out. But he was fine, he 303 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: had stitches. Anybody played through it. Point being he is 304 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: this is not a bookworm playing center. He's a tough 305 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: kid who belongs here and not looking forward to watch him. Yeah, 306 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: I was talking to Jeff Logman last week m during 307 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: Happy Hour, and he was saying how he foresees shot 308 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: Ly initially earning the job just because experience would win 309 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: in that situation, and possibly Fortner working his way, and 310 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: once Fortner's there, he's never coming back out. That's often 311 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: with non first round picks, with that second, third, fourth 312 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: round as rookies, particularly in a position is important as center. 313 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: You want to make sure that that that player aggrass 314 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: the offense and isn't hurting others around him when he 315 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: first gets into lineup. Uh. But he did a lot. 316 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: He didn't really brag on himself during the podcast, which 317 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: is fine, but you could tell in his conversations he 318 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: did a lot of calling the offense at Kentucky, being 319 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: able to see the blitz is and helping the quarterback. 320 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: That's the responsibility of the center. Supposedly he's off the 321 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: charts good at that. I expected to make up ground 322 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: in that area really quickly. And I think I've said this, 323 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: but I talked to a guy, a scout who told 324 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: me that Kentucky's blocking scheme was very complex. So if 325 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: he was that quarterback and was calling that stuff out, 326 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: it gives them that leg up again. To be able 327 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: to pick this up and go. I mean, it sounds 328 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: like the kid's going to be what they think he is, 329 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: which is a long term starter at center. I didn't 330 00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: ask him this. I'm sure he would have said, well, 331 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: I was there six years. I probably, But he's a 332 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: funny I mean it was when you see interviews with him. 333 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: People should pay attention because he's an engaging character and 334 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: not all rookies are comfortable in that situation. It's fun 335 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: to talk to him, and it's worth pointing out. You 336 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: mentioned he was picked. You know, Brad Meester was picked 337 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: in two thousand at the at the end of the 338 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: second round, so somewhere in that range. And forget exactly 339 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: Um and Brandon Linder. You know, you're looking at the 340 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: last two guys who played center. He was like nine three, right, 341 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: This is where you find high quality, long term interior 342 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. A very boring Brad Meester story when he 343 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: was first picked. That was my last draft covering the 344 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: Jaguars for the TU before I left for Indy, and uh, 345 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: I asked Tom Coughlin if he could talk about the 346 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: second round pick moosed and Tom looked at me like 347 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: I was from at idea. Yeah and that pause. Oh 348 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: so I first called Red Mester moost what happens to 349 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: the best of us, and it happens to me and 350 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: all people. Brad would have laughed about it. Great guy. 351 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: A couple more minutes for you on the Jaguars Reporters podcast. 352 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: Like we said, the schedule release is this Thursday. Always 353 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: exciting to write it in your planner and different colored pens. 354 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: That's what I look forward to and get to plan 355 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: this season. Like we said, the home scheduled Cowboys, Ravens, Giants, 356 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: along with the Division, of course, which of those games 357 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: stands out to you? Guys? Wait a minute, don't go 358 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: back to the planner. Actually write the teams in different 359 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: colored panting planner. The time you have for these things. 360 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: I like to be organized, and I like to have 361 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: it as a hard copy, a calendar on color per team. 362 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: Do I have a pen pack that has sixteen colors? 363 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: So I have a color. She's a soft day. She's 364 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: a soft type of personality. She's not that hard if 365 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: I don't have that when I use my blue So 366 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: answer her question. She's getting frustrated with my excited that 367 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: any No, you're not excited? What game of those home 368 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: schedules stands out, probably Dallas because they haven't been here 369 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: in forever, and that's always an exciting game. It's so 370 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: hard to get worked up about the schedule this story 371 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: because you don't know when the games are gonna be. 372 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be healthy. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing 373 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, it would be fun if a Dallas came 374 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: in here in November was something to play for. Uh, 375 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: you know, revenge isn't really a big thing in the NFL. 376 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: The main thing I remember at the Cowboys in the 377 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: last X number of years was that that was the 378 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: game out there in two thousand and eighteen when you 379 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: knew what they had built was in a lot of 380 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: trouble things because they got rolled forty day. They had 381 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: lost to Kansas City the week before, and you thought, okay, 382 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: well maybe that was a little bit rebound here of 383 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: a rebound, and they came out and getting against Dallas 384 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: and they couldn't compete, and you went, something's wrong here. 385 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: So there's probably five players left who are on that team, 386 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: so that won't affect anything that's remember about the Cowboys. 387 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: But when Dallas comes to town, I'm always a big 388 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: believer that the home team is what matters in an 389 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: NFL stadium. That's why I would go to games, But 390 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 1: there are fans who like to see the opponent give 391 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: it the energy. When Dallas comes to town, it'll be 392 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: it's one of those games you'll remember. There'll be a 393 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: lot of Cowboys fans here, a lot. Um. I'm looking 394 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: forward the Ravens game. Uh. And and not just because 395 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: it's you know, Lamar Jackson, who's a premier quarterback. They 396 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: draft really well. I mean, they've got a really good 397 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: roster and when the Jaguars last were on the field 398 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: with them in season, it was ugly. Um. So we'll 399 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: see how much they've they've grown, how much better they've 400 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: gotten from the end of I think was the December 401 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: game two. Whenever they're here this year, um, and the 402 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: Ravens are one of those broometer teams in the a 403 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: f C. I know we're all focused on the West 404 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: this year, but they have a quarterback who is incredibly 405 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: challenging to match up with. They've got always seemingly john 406 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: as good an offensive line as you find in the NFL. 407 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: And then that Ravens defense has just been their personality 408 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: since those great Ravens teams twenty years ago, you know, 409 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: excited about the Ravens game boy. I have it written 410 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: in my planner in Tope Tope. I am wired for 411 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: that because he has a purple pen and a tope 412 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: pen because he needs options. That's enough with the planet talk. 413 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: We're over it. Well we should just point out that 414 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: you are somebody, and it's it's interesting someone who is 415 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: in her middle late twenties, um who writes things out. 416 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I write things out in my in My 417 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: son say to me, Dad, yea, you don't use dictation, 418 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: just you know, put it in the notes and go. No. 419 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: I like to write things out. John writes things out. 420 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: You write things out. You just do a little line 421 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: and her voice. You have a little glitter that you 422 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: sprinkle on just to kind of for big weeks. Yeah, 423 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: like the London game will will have some glitter tims 424 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: to its. Really, it was the deal with white crayons. 425 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: I never got that. Oh you used it on like 426 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 1: green or purple paper to color your Game of Thrones coloring. 427 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: But I don't know what you're talking about. There's a 428 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: lot of snow a white crayon I never got. Okay, 429 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: the look she's giving you right now. It's too bad 430 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: that this podcast is not on any visual medium because 431 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: the look Shelan has a healthy dislike with me. I 432 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: just think Sherry would really I would really understand, she'd 433 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: appreciate that look, and she'd try to mimic it would 434 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: relate to. And that is the Jaguars Reporters podcast schedule. 435 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: Lease this Thursday, Rookie mini camp this weekend.
