1 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Jime with Ashlyn Sulise, John Oshan, 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: Bryan Sex Jacks Drive Time and it starts right now. 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Drive Time. It is June four teenth 4 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: year life here on a Tuesday, as it is the 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: week of mandatory minicamp for veterans. But it looks a 6 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: little different this year. This is our last drive time 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: of the off season as we all get ready to 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: take a little break here for summer, about a month 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: away from the stadium, and when we come back, we're 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: really getting going. Yeah, you don't seem excited about that too. 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: It's uh about five weeks away, and I'll be excited. 12 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: Uh on July twenty third, Well, I think this is 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: that time of that year where you do kind of 14 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: unplug a little bit and everybody out there has a 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: busy job and a busy life, and uh, the NFL 16 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: just seems to be NonStop, and especially as we've done this, 17 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, it has just expanded to fill you know, February, 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: you know, when the Super bowls over all the way 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: until now and then picks right back up at the 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: end of July and away it goes again. Um, So yeah, 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who were starting to think 22 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: about getting a little time away. But I'm like John, 23 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: I mean, watching this team on the field yesterday, even 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 1: in a rookie camp, I'm excited about some of these kids. 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see, you know, this coaching staff in particular, 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: this coaching staff is really really impressed me. And I 27 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: can't wait to see how they run training camp. Yeah, 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: and the coaching staff. And I talked to people and 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: they say, oh, well, why are you so busy in 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: the offseason. I said, well, look what this team has 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: been through the past couple of years, bringing in a 32 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: new coaching staff. It's a lot of work, but you 33 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: just see how much smoother it has been this offseason. 34 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: It's just a totally different world than where we were 35 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: a year ago. And it's just I think, you know, 36 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: canceling the veteran mini camp is a great example of that. Yeah. 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: I was asked the other night when I was out, 38 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: what do you do for money when they don't have games? 39 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: And I said, I said, well, frankly, I can't share that, 40 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: but it's it is a busy offseason. But overall, um, 41 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: you hate to sit here every year and say how 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: how good. It looks in the off season because people 43 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: are tired of hearing it. But Doug Peterson, you can 44 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: see why Brian he was able to overcome adversity in 45 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: Philadelphia on his way to Super bowls. Um, there's a calmness, 46 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: there's I've been there before attitude. Think about he lost 47 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz went to the Super Bowl that year. They 48 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: overcame uh tough starts and made the playoffs two times interrupt. 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that Jaguars can do that, because they've 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: still got to prove they can do that. But to me, 51 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: that's what an NFL coach does. He makes players believe 52 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: in him. You can certainly see why players believe in this. 53 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: Have you read the book yet or is that on 54 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: the plan between now? It is so worth it. It 55 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: just gives you read some of a couple of years back. 56 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: It gives you. It gives you a really good appreciation 57 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: for him and underscores and highlights the things that you 58 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: already seem so sorry. I can't. He's not paying me 59 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: to plug the book as much as I do. I 60 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: just of all the books I've read, the book explains 61 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: everything I think he's doing. Okay with that book, I 62 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: was all right, let's get into big things. Big thing 63 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: one is see you in July or last week here 64 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: in the building, our last drive time of the Austina 65 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: before everyone takes a much needed break for summer. This 66 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: week has looked a little different than years past for 67 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: veteran mandatory mini camp, and coach Peterson explains why I 68 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: dismissed the veterans a little early. No, it's all based 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: on what they've done. Um, you know, I've done this 70 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: kind of thing in the past, But at the same 71 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: time I wanted to. I wanted to see this group 72 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: work and work together. Um. You know it wasn't final 73 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: until you know, just within the last week or so 74 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: for me to make to make the decision. And again, 75 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: these guys have worked extremely hard. They've earned it, they 76 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: deserve it, and um you know we got done. Um 77 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: as a staff what we needed to get done, and 78 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: we get ready for KIMP. Big thing too is sparkles, splitters, rainbows, 79 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: you name the adjeive to describe first round overall pick 80 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: tray Von Walker, who was impressing everyone in this building. 81 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: All he had to do was step on the football 82 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: field to do back in defensive coordinator Mike Callbell is 83 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: high on the list. Can you think about the size, 84 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: the hype, his weight, his speed is left a uniform. 85 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: He's unique and he plays that way and you see 86 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: it on tape. You see the burst, you see the speed, 87 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: see the moves. He asked, So we're excited about him, 88 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: and I think he will be ready. And finally, big 89 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: thing to me is what does he have? What is 90 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: he got? Question mark that is running back Travis E 91 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: t n and so many questions around this guy, and 92 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: our biggest question will will he have an explosive speed 93 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: that we saw in college after facing this major injury. 94 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Press Taylor thinks, so, yeah, the speeds real. 95 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: I mean that was obviously something everybody knew coming out 96 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: of college, not having a chance to see a lot 97 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: of the stuff he was able to do Um Street 98 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: because you weren't able to play. So the speed is 99 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: very real. He did a good job of just showing 100 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: understanding of the different roles we're trying to see and 101 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: we're throwing him in all the different positions just to see, 102 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, what he's comfortable with, what he needs to 103 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: work on as we move forward. Give him plans moving 104 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: into the offseason or moving further into summer, coming back 105 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: for training camp. But he's been really receptive to everything. 106 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: He's showing, you know, an ability to grasp a lot 107 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: of different things and and show that he's capable of 108 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: doing things. And then he had it. Those are big things. 109 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: Let's go back up to big thing. One big thing too, 110 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: you know. Sparkles, Yeah, glitter rainbows, you see that. I 111 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: don't know what nickname we're gonna give him, but I'm 112 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: not going to be the one to walk up and Sparkles. 113 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean that might give me a good punch in 114 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: the teeth. Yeah, and he could punch it from a 115 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: long way away because he's got big hands in long arms. Hey, 116 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: Sparkles walker. Yeah, I think she just tried to say, yeah, okay, 117 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: I thought we were trying to a nickname and oh no, 118 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: although I mean, I won't lie to you. And when 119 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: I walked on the field the first time and I 120 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: was a hundred yards away from him and I saw him, 121 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,119 Speaker 1: my eyes sparkled. I went, WHOA, Well, if he wants 122 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: to be called Sparkle, I have no problem. Yes, he 123 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: told me that, and that's why I put it. I 124 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: got him on the Ozone podcast tomorrow. I'll I'll ask 125 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: you if that's his game. I heard you told you 126 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: like your name to be Sparkles a thing one Veterans 127 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: being released early. We were told this about two weeks ago, 128 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: that there was thoughts that this would happen. And keep 129 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: in mind that O T started early for this team, 130 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: so the Veterans have had an extra week of work 131 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: on the field. When that happened, I thought, awesome move 132 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: by coach Peterson, but I also knew, oh my gosh, 133 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: fans are going to freak out. Well, but he also 134 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: has the week the early week of training camp because 135 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: of your fame game, So it's calculated on a part. 136 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: But look, he gave them these three days so they 137 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: could start their vacation, they could start, you know, having 138 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: a little downtime away. It sends a really strong message 139 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: to the players who really like this guy and like 140 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: this coaching staff and like the way that they approach it. 141 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: You guys know where I'm going with us. But it's uh. Look, 142 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: they also had a three day extra mini camp right 143 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: before the draft. Um because he's a new coach. You 144 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: have to remember when O T a s began way 145 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: back in the day. They were much more spiritually voluntary 146 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: than they are now. Now they're voluntary, but there's this 147 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: implication of oil boy, you better be there. So they 148 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: had a veteran mini camp at the end that was 149 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: mandatory to make sure these guys got some work. Well, 150 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: these guys have already gotten some work. My understanding is 151 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: it was close attendance and Peterson was thrilled with the 152 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: attendance throughout. So if that's the case, why do you 153 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: need the three day mandatory. The three day mandatory was 154 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: put in to make sure that the guys who didn't 155 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: feel like coming in came in got the work. They 156 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: got there three days, they learned the offense, they got 157 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: to look at it. This is about teaching and preparing 158 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: for training camp. They're not evaluating what they do out 159 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: there is as an offensive guard is not going to 160 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: make them a great offensive guard. Come we say, we 161 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: can't even evaluate the big guys. So there you have it. 162 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: This team isn't a much different somebody for lamping. Yeah, 163 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: this week, like for example, I saw it was on 164 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: National News this morning that the DK metcalf to not 165 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: show up to mandatory mini camp. And we've seen that before, 166 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: where that's the headline is who doesn't show up to 167 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: this part? And then you see for the Jaguar's sake, 168 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: almost participation when they didn't have to be here. So 169 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: that is why he let him go early. Yeah, it's 170 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: at that's made perfect times. By the way, as he 171 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: said this spring, hey, it's it's voluntary, it's volunteer. He's 172 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: explained that right, he said, he totally gets He let 173 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: that card be played early so that the players knew 174 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: that he understood and that he wasn't going to be 175 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: that guy who goes, I don't want you here even 176 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: though it's voluntary. He wasn't going to play that game. 177 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: We had that guy. We've seen that before. All right, 178 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: do you want to talk about sparkles or are you 179 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: okay moving a Big Thing three? I want to check 180 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: with you before him. Well he's got the nickname now 181 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: no matter what you do, breath, okay, Big Thing three? 182 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: What's he got all about Travis et and and the 183 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: questions we have with him? And looks great on the 184 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: football field right now, is present, which is a win 185 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: in itself that he's on the football field after that 186 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: injury he faced. But Brian, you talked about it a lot. 187 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: We won't really know till trail camp. But for Press 188 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: Taylor to say, yeah, I've seen the speed, it's there, 189 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: that's the biggest question. But I don't know if we 190 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: can truly tell that. Well. I watched and I don't know. 191 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: I mean, he's fast, but I don't know if he 192 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: is what he was before the injury. And as you mentioned, 193 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,599 Speaker 1: it's something that I've been waiting to see and I 194 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: don't know that we'll see it until August. You know, 195 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: can he get up after a rough day on the 196 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: practice field and practice the next day or does the 197 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: foot need rest? Um? We we we just we won't know. 198 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: Does he look good, well, yeah, he looks good. He 199 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: was a first round pick, um, but is he going 200 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: to be what he's capable of being or was capable 201 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: when they drafted him. We won't know. Yeah, And he's 202 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: such an he's such an X factor because even before 203 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: the injury, Um, we didn't see him very much last year. 204 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: So he feels like a rookie coming in in the 205 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: sense that you're always wanting to see can a rookie 206 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: really do it in the pros I did in college? 207 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: So you have the wondering is he what he was 208 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: before the injury. Plus if he's what he was before 209 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: the injury, is that special in the NFL. We don't 210 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: know that yet. But I'll go to the other route 211 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: since we've already talked about the fact that you can't 212 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: tell anything about him really until pads go on give 213 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: him credit and give the doctor's credit for this uh 214 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: A list. Frank can be very very serious. He had 215 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: at last August, so it's it's what ten months seven 216 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: eight months out when he first got back. There could 217 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: have been a scenario on this where Okay, he's gonna 218 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: come back during O t A. He's not ready for 219 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: the start of the off season. He's gonna come out 220 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: during mini camp he's not ready, and it's gonna commit 221 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: during training camp. He has been as out there and 222 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: as participating as he possibly can be. So far, so good. 223 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: He's done everything he's supposed to do. There's no reason 224 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: to think that he won't be fine. And just to 225 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: give that an underscore in the highlight, Corey Grant, you 226 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: all remember broke his foot did the Liz Frank in 227 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: Kansasy and never got back to this in October of 228 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen, not just that John, I never saw 229 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: him again. You normally when guys are rehabbing, you see 230 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: them around the building. I never saw him again ever, 231 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: but that the morning in Kansas City. The last time 232 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: I saw him in October of two eighteen. So to 233 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: have him out here on the field, he's a really 234 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: encouraging sign. It's just as John said, is he going 235 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: to be special in the NFL? We have to see 236 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: that before we can say, let me, I think he 237 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: probably will be. Oh, I mean he's seen it yet. 238 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: He's that he's that chess piece. You can get him 239 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: moving all over the place. He has the chance to be. 240 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: We just got to see it before we can say 241 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: he's there. Yeah, he'll be a huge storyline in training camp, 242 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: maybe the biggest story time training camp in there. All right, 243 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: that is big things.

Good morning, good morning, 270 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: you brought your hats. We love that's I did. I did. 271 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: That's a that's a nice memento from a very significant 272 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: day that was. That was a big announcement on Monday, 273 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: and you know it, it means so many things on 274 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: so many different levels. Absolutely, And I think when we 275 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: hear about this construction project and you see the magnitude 276 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: of the construction project, you think, all right, this might 277 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: take some time. But I am truly amazed every Monday 278 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: when I walk into this building, you see progress. You 279 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: see a difference in that football facility. It seems like 280 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: it's moving really quickly. Yeah, it's happening. Uh. You know, 281 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: the the progress is visible literally every day, hour by hour, 282 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: great collection of subcontractors or performing the work, really hard 283 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: workers on site and uh, you know, it's one of 284 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: those things where you you have to get it done 285 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: on time, you know. So we have to absolutely have 286 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: to be complete by the end of June next year, 287 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: about a year from now, so that when the team 288 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: comes back for training camp that can move right into 289 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: the new facility. Be very disruptive for them to have 290 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: to do that as it gets closer to the season 291 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: or even in in the middle of the season. You 292 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: know said yesterday, somebody said it yesterday. How significant is 293 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: to have a local company like Miller put their name 294 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: on it. I can remember when those trailers were out 295 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: there building this stadium and there was a Miller Electric trailer. Um, 296 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: what's it mean to have a company like that, a 297 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: local company step up to the plate to help the whatever, 298 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: well it goes, It goes way deeper than that, you know. Uh, 299 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: Miller Electric has their roots here in Jacksonville. They're almost 300 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: a year old company, but they're a national company there. 301 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: They're known for their innovation in their in their field, 302 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: and they're also uh, you know, they employ thousands of 303 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: people across the country. They employ many many people here 304 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. They provide jobs. They're they're continuing to recruit 305 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: and try to add to their their work their their workforce. 306 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: But the other thing they have in common, uh with 307 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: the Jaguars is their real deep commitment to the community. 308 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: And you know, you see that in a lot of 309 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: different ways. But you know the leadership of that organization, 310 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: their public servants, you know, they have a long history. Um. 311 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: You know Rhyna Auttery, h Henry Brown, who's a who's 312 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: a stalwart forms most recently ahead of the Jacksonville Chamber. 313 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: So they care about the community. They put people to 314 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: work UM, and they share shots confidence in in the 315 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: potential of downtown and particularly development around the sports complex. 316 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: Beyond having the naming rights done on the facility, how 317 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: important is it for the franchise and downtown just to 318 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: have that facility going up. It feels like it's an 319 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: overdue project. Well, it it unlocks a lot of other things. 320 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: That's why at the time when we were able fortunate 321 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: enough to get approval for this project, I said it 322 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: was something that's going to be really, really significant in 323 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: the history of the Jaguars. The reason for that is 324 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: it was the necessary first for us to be able 325 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: to really dig into UM the stadium of the future. 326 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do to make sure that t 327 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: I a bank field UH meets the needs of our 328 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: of our of our of our fans, of other stakeholders, 329 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: of the Universities of Florida and Georgia, the Gator Bowl 330 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: concert promoters. We have to make sure that the stadium 331 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: can meet the needs of all of those parties going 332 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: well in the future so that we can achieve our 333 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: ultimate goal, which is to ensure that there's NFL football 334 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: here in Northeast Florida for generations to come. Where is 335 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: that stadium project right now? You know? We uh, we 336 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: kicked it off about two years ago with the with 337 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: the city of Jacksonville. We've gone through a series of 338 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: necessary first steps, against some of them pretty boring, a 339 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: full assessment of the of the stadium. But something really 340 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: important came out of that, which is the structural systems 341 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: within the stadium are in are in good shape and 342 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: and and that's an important finding because it opens up 343 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: the possibility for a renovation versus having to replace the facility. 344 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: We then went to the next step of of developing 345 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: three D drawings of the stadium as it exists right now. Um, 346 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: we have been communicating, uh, you know, with with our fans. 347 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: We've had over well over five thousand responses to a 348 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: survey fans telling us those things that are in wardant 349 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: to them in in this uh in the future stadium. 350 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: And we actually you know, engaged a handful of sports 351 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: architects to give us their ideas and concepts, and we're 352 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: beginning to to to narrow that down and and if 353 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: we can get to the point where we think we 354 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: can come up with a design that that meets the 355 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: needs of of our customers, that meets the needs of 356 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: the other stakeholders, that meets that the needs of Jaguars 357 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: and our employees we're here every day, and then we 358 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: can begin to get some idea of what something like 359 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: that might cost. Then we're in a position to really 360 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: dial up our our conversation with with the city. The 361 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: city has been involved from the beginning. I feel really 362 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: comfortable about the working relationship. Uh, you know that we 363 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: have and you know again this is this is the 364 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: really really important first step, you know, the Miller Electric Center, 365 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: and now we can really get into probably the most 366 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: the more important issue, which is how do we make 367 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: sure we have a stadium is going to meet the 368 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: needs of all involved for you know, decades to come. Mark, 369 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: you've been involved with an incredible amount of this kind 370 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: of construction. Uh built MetLife or we're heavily involved with MetLife. 371 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: How different is a potential renovation than building? How much 372 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: more complicated? Well, it's it's it's cheaper to renovate than 373 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: to build new. Right, you don't have to go find 374 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: another site, you know, you don't have to, you know, 375 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 1: repeat all the infrastructure that's necessary to support a new 376 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: stadium site. So it's cheaper. It is more complex, particularly 377 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: when you're trying to take a thirty year old building 378 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: and get it get its state of the art because 379 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: it's retro fitting, I guess, and that sort of so 380 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: many things have changed and you have so much that's 381 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: embedded into this building. It is easier to build new. 382 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's less disruptive to build new. You close 383 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: one down and you move into the next one that's 384 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: completely done. So renovations generally take longer, you know, they 385 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: they're stretched out a little bit, just like we're dealing 386 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: with with the construction of the you know, the the 387 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: Miller Electric Center. The football team is a little inconvenience 388 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: right now because they're having to practice each and every 389 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: day on the game field out. You know, they really 390 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: like it so far, the players love it. I think 391 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: it adds a good atmosphere. Um But you know, that's 392 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: that's something that will will not be necessary to do 393 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: once we get the new facility open and it even 394 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: things like this, this this studio right here will be 395 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: over in the um. Uh, the Miller Electric Center will 396 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: have better accommodations for the media, significantly better accommodations for 397 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: our players, and hopefully all of that will lead to 398 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: a better development process, um, easier coaching and uh, you know, 399 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: more wins to come. So much going on right now. 400 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: Everyone wants to know about the shipyards in the four seasons. 401 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: Where is that project right now? Well, we're we're moving 402 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: ahead now. There's no question We've we've had to deal with, 403 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, a bushelfull of issues. But at anyone who's 404 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: involved in construction these days, whether you're doing a innovation 405 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: at your house or you're building a new home, you 406 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: know how difficult it is. And and that's a result 407 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: of so many things that are happening. It's really a 408 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: unique time. You have this unprecedented level of inflation. You 409 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: have the remnants of of COVID that are still impacting 410 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: you know, supply chain as it relates to getting materials. 411 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: You have the financial market unrest, which is related to 412 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: some of the global uncertainties that we're dealing with right now. 413 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: And and you have a real difficult time as it 414 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: relates to what's happening in the construction industry. You've got 415 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: so much work that's out there. You don't have enough 416 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: labor to be able to support that work, and it 417 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: makes it difficult to be able to get a healthy number, 418 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: in many cases a healthy number of of subcontractors to 419 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: bid on your work. All of those things combine drive 420 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: cost up, and you know you have to deal with that. 421 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: It's not a condition that's gonna last forever, but it is. 422 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: It's it's something we've been dealing with. But you know, again, 423 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: this this this project is so important to Shod, It's 424 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: so important to his his his belief of of something 425 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: that can be a real catalyst to help downtown Jacksonville 426 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: realize it's full potential and to degree that Jacksonville fulfills 427 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: it's it's it's full potential as it relates to people 428 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: working here, people visiting here, people living here. If those 429 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: things are all addressed, that has great benefits to the 430 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguarson are our long term stability here in northeast Florida, 431 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: which is the Shod stated goal from day one. And 432 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: my neighbor was planning to build a garage two years 433 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: ago and he decided not to because of the cost. 434 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: That's not really an option for you. Yeah, well, it is. 435 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: It's it's a it's an option for a lot of people. 436 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of projects are canceled because as 437 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: the costs go up, the returns go down. And and uh, 438 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: but this, this this project was is much more than 439 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: just an economic decision. Uh. You know by shot it's 440 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: it's something that he believes can go a long way 441 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: in uh, spurring even more development downtown by other developers, 442 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: not by us, but by other developers. You've been leading 443 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: the effort now for a decade. Um. You have a 444 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: long history in sports, going back to the Cardinals in baseball. 445 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: The last ten years have been really eventful, haven't they. 446 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: I mean you look at London and COVID and the 447 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: shipyards and is it Is it what you thought it 448 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: might be? Or um, are you are? Are you? Are 449 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: you where you thought you might be? I guess it 450 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: is a better way to ask it. Well, and that's 451 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: that's really interesting. And you didn't mentioned Fulham and Daily's 452 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: Place and the music activities that we're doing. Um M 453 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: I am. I am blown away with the quality of 454 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: the staff that we that we have. I never thought 455 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: that we'd be able to build such a such a 456 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: great um um collection of committed men and women to 457 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: work here. You know, we inherited a lot of great 458 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: employees to begin with, but we've been able to supplement 459 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: that with with many others. So I don't I'm I'm 460 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: really really pleased with the with the quality of our 461 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: of our staff. UM. I didn't really understand the scale 462 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: of Shod's ambition and commitment to growth, and that has 463 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: been probably the most interesting thing of of of my 464 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: job certainly has been you know, shods constant support of 465 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: efforts to grow the franchise and and uh, you know 466 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: lead to the stability that you know, I think we 467 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: uh we are enjoying. So all those things you mentioned, 468 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: it makes it more interesting if you're on the business 469 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: side here. You know, nobody wants to just be going 470 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: through the motions of of of just day to day 471 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: the business of football, you know, So it's it's it's 472 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: it's really interesting. You've seen the growth on on your 473 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: guys side of the business in terms of the digital 474 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: platforms that have that have been built. So you know, obviously, 475 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, no one is is pleased with what our 476 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: performance has been on the feel, um, but I think 477 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's maybe because it's been ten years. 478 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: Maybe we're sort of just convincing ourselves that, you know, 479 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: it's it's now is maybe our time. Uh, there's a 480 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: really high level of confidence. And you know, I really 481 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: I chucked that up to uh two two dug and 482 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: and the calming h impact he has had on the organization. 483 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: It's just things are really so normal. There's no surprises, 484 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: and it's a and uh, you know, I give I 485 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: give him him and Trent all the all the credit 486 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: in the world to not get distracted by all of 487 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: the noise that came out of the end of last 488 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: year and all of the rhetoric during the off season. 489 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: And you know, you couldn't you couldn't turn on the 490 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: radio without nine out of tend people, you know, ridiculing 491 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: the organization. You know. And and I I understand fans 492 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: um right to express their feelings and they do that 493 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: because they care. You know. You what when when you 494 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: should get concerned is when there's people that are just quiet, 495 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, and they just stopped caring. So look, you know, 496 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: we're in the criticism business. Unfortunately we've probably gotten pretty 497 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: good at it for a good reason. But I think, 498 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: but but I really, I really think and I don't 499 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: think I'm just talking myself into this because I think 500 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: it shared throughout the building. I think, you know better 501 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: days you're coming in, They're gonna come soon. Totally agree. 502 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: We're excited for all the newness. We all noticed the 503 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: calming presence of coach Peterson and Trent Bulky. It's been 504 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: a nice change that Bok I have. I did read it. 505 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: Yeah it's good, isn't It gives you good insight into him. Yeah, 506 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: it sort of that gave me flashbacks to uh Gillette 507 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: Stadium in the ANFC championship game. But other than that, 508 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, reminded me of of that how close we 509 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: weren't again. You know that's that's ancient history. But you know, 510 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: things can happen quickly in the in the NFL. You know, 511 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: we saw it happen with with Cincinnati. You know, Kansas 512 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: City came in here for the first game. Uh you know, 513 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: I guess it was four years ago. They had the 514 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: number one pick in the draft. Remember that they picked 515 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: I guess the offensive lineman Fisher. So things can happen 516 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: to hurry if you if you have a quarterback, and 517 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: I think there's a there's a high level of confidence 518 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: that we do. You know that we do. He's the guy.

Thank you to Mark 527 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: Lamping for joining us. Great insight on this facility that's 528 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: being build very quickly in the parking lot, and it 529 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: is time for Ashlan ask getting back on the football 530 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: field for some questions about this team. Alan asked number 531 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: one fellas who needs a bigger season this upcoming year? 532 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: Levisca chanlts or Calevan Chase on Lesa. Both of these 533 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: guys really ridiculed and you know, judge for their lack 534 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: of success so far this year, especially with both of 535 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: them being high draft picks. So who would you say 536 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: needs a bigger year in twenty that Brian was leaving 537 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: there for a minute, now we might have forgotten the 538 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: white board, but we have them. Brian, I was just improvising. 539 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: I'll say calebon Um. I think the Jaguars have dramatically 540 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: upgraded both wide receiver and at a pass rushing defensive end. Um. 541 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: But I just get the sense that you know, when 542 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: you bring in Travon Walker to go with Josh Allen, 543 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: if you want to spot here, you need to prove 544 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: it and and should Alt as a guy who could 545 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: do a bunch of different things. We saw him returning 546 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: punts I think one day during O t S. I 547 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: just don't know that the pressures on him like it 548 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: is on to get after the quarterback. So I'll say Chas, yeah, 549 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: I'll go with visca Um, I guess because he went 550 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,239 Speaker 1: with Caleb. And I don't know that either of them 551 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: needs it bigger than the other. I think they both 552 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: need big seasons. They both need to show what they're 553 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: going to be in the NFL, and I think this 554 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: is the third year for both of them. I think 555 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: this is an important year for both of them, uh 556 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: to be in the league long term. I mean Chason 557 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: has talent, he has not had an impact here and 558 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: hasn't really shown that he's a big time NFL player. 559 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: Yet I think the same is probably true of Visca. 560 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: He's had some moments. What is he going to be 561 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL? So I'll go with Viscar for the 562 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: sake of argument. Um, I think they both need years. 563 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: I think they both need to prove they're gonna be 564 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: a long term NFL players, and I hope they are. 565 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: I like both of them a lot. They're two of 566 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: the most pleasant kids I've dealt with in a long 567 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: long time. I hope it works out for him. But 568 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: they need years where they show their NFL players they do, 569 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: and I think especially for Leviscashnal, he is the person 570 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: who realizes that the most he has been here every 571 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: single day. He was there yesterday when he didn't have 572 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: to be. You just you sense the sense of hungry 573 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: nous with him, and I think he very much so 574 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: realizes the ridicule of him and I think, um, he 575 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: definitely is putting the work in to get where he 576 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: wants to be. Yeah, I don't think I want to 577 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: is a problem for you these Yeah, I think it's 578 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: it's a tough league and they it's important yearsful, Yes, 579 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: it is all right AshEL Nas number two. This of 580 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: course is based on the offensive package you run and 581 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: will change week to week, but with four options right 582 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: now at running back, let's go to week six. We 583 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: are Week six and it's pregame who is the starting 584 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: running back mid season? John? Um, I'll go to Jay 585 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: rob I mean, James Robinson is the proven running back 586 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: on this team. I think if if he's health uh, 587 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: and if he's who he's been when he's been at 588 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: his best his first two years, uh, he's the starting 589 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: running back. And then if that scenario happens, and I 590 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: think E. T. N is your jack of all trades 591 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: and it is playing like a twelve or thirteenth starter. 592 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: But I think he's in the LINEUPO yep, curve on well. 593 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: And here's why, Um, I we haven't seen Robinson yet. 594 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: The Achilles is a serious injury. Um. What has he 595 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: had six months to recover? I don't. I don't know 596 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: that we'll see much of him, uh until maybe we 597 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: get into the later part of the season. Um. Then 598 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: I think Etna is still obviously, I think he's a weapon. 599 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna line him up in 600 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: the backfield and run him like a running back every play. Um, 601 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: Connor's a big, strong, strapping, young legs kind of guy, 602 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: and you might see him in the end up doing 603 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,959 Speaker 1: more than you would have expected. I could have gone 604 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: with Rock Armstead too, because carried the ball out out there, 605 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: and he's a veteran a guy. You could have. Um, 606 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: I just think there's We've said it all spring long, 607 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: So why change the injury that DTN suffered in the 608 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: injury that James Robinson suffered, or injuries that can be 609 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: career ending for running backs and both of them have 610 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: to get over it. So I'll go with the young 611 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: legs and say Connor in which the healthy one makes sense. 612 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: All rights number three our final one. Looking at this defense, 613 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: who is the starting safety Week one? Now you're free safety, 614 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: strong safety obviously, UM four options ray Sean Jenkins, Andre Cisco, 615 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Wingard and Danielle Thomas. Who are we thinking is 616 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: in the starting lineup as of right now? Weak one? 617 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: I'll go with and uh god, ray Sean Jenkins. I mean, 618 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: I think if if they're healthy, that's your combination, that's 619 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 1: who they wanted to be. Uh. They I think are 620 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: the most most talented of the four. And summer to 621 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: go with those two. Well, they've they've they've sung the 622 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: praises of Cisco, and I didn't have another paper towel, 623 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: so I'm not going to use that. Um, they've anybody 624 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: you've asked about Cisco. They've talked about his intellect. Um, 625 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: they've talked about his athleticism. So I think he's one 626 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: of them. And I would agree Rat Shawn is a 627 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: guy They've paid a lot of money to us. He's 628 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: got all the measurables you'd won. But I'm a fan 629 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: of Daniel Thomas and I have been since, you know, 630 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: the moment that he got into the lineup in Houston 631 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Um, I think he is 632 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: a terrific player. I think he's overlooked in many respects. Um, 633 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: he had the broken arm. He remember he had that 634 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: interception against the Steelers and then broke his arm. Um, 635 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: and we didn't see him again his rookie season last 636 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: year was last year, which was a disaster in so 637 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: many respects. I have a sense that he's going to 638 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: work his way into a position where people canna be 639 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: talking about him when the season begins. What about do 640 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: we your guy John no I mean I think he 641 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: will be uh, a value special teams guy and a 642 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: guy who's got experience in the starting line if he 643 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: has to play because of injury. I you know, he 644 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: has proven that uh, that slot and that thinking about 645 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: him wrong before he sounds hard. He's last year. Uh 646 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: is it absurd to think he might start? No, he 647 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: he started last week. Nobody thought he would. But if 648 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: he does started to failure for Cisco, isn't what he's 649 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: supposed to be? Then? Right, means are the guys that 650 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: you know I'm going with chalk here, These are the 651 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: guys ever expects to start. I think they will start. 652 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: And there you have it. That is ashlan As. When 653 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: we come back, some closing thoughts.
