WEBVTT - Jaguars Happy Hour: Wednesday, August 28 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:07.280 He's celebrating twenty five years of Jaguar's football was good 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:10.680 from yards away and the Jaguars had beaten a long angel, 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:20.360 the Charger that everybody feel. It is Wednesday, August. This 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:26.599 is Jackuars Happy Hour, Jaguars Happy Hours presented by the 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.960 Fields Auto Group. And now a guy whose idea of 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.880 stepping up to luxury is putting a food truck in 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:39.400 his backyard. Jay Peace shads, it's pretty darn good to me. 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.320 Actually depends on the food truck. I suppose walcome in 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.159 Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group. I 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.599 am J. P. Shadrick. That is John Ozer. The question is, 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.000 is your idea of a food truck a guy with 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.720 a pickup selling gas station sandwich. It depends on what 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.080 food trucks. That's what I mean by that. There could 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.280 be a lot of definitions. That's my idea. We've got 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.440 a good program for you today. Here's what's coming up 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.160 on this program. Quincy Williams back. We'll hear from the 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:09.240 Jaguars rookie linebacker. It is the final preseason game coming 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.760 up Thursday tomorrow. So bubble players a big topic and 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.440 guys who once were bubble players will get some different 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.120 thoughts on what this week is and what this week means. 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.319 In that locker room offensive line talk, still some business 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.840 to attend to their at right guard. According to Doug 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.800 Moron today at the luncheon and the uniform unvailing Jimmy Luck, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.840 we'll join us in studio as usual and we'll pick 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.920 our players to watch. You and I John will pick 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.199 players to watch in this football game Thursday night against 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.600 the Falcon. It's it's a limited list this week of 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:47.120 players to watch. That's right. They always give the players 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.200 not dressing or whatever in the preseason. It might be 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.440 better to show the players who are dressing. That's kind 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.760 of the where this thing's going. Yeah. I will write 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.320 probably as much tomorrow night on on who's not playing 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.040 is as who is, But that's that's a nature of 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.800 the preseason. Well, let's start with a guy who may 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.240 or may not play tomorrow night. Quincy Williams, rookie linebacker. 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.120 He's been out with the meniscus issue. They went in there, 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:10.960 had a little surgery to clean it up. He's been 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.639 back on the practice field this week. That's the good news. 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.440 The question is whether he'll play or if he's gonna 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.720 be ready for the regular season without playing in the preseason. Well, 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.960 we heard from Quincy Williams in the locker room this 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.960 week and it was his first surgery really at all, 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.280 and it was a little bit foreign to him. It 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.440 was scary, um just going to I haven't I'm a 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.240 healthy horse. Though then when he was like surgery, I 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.080 was like, whoa hold on now? And then he was like, 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.880 we need to get it done now, and I was like, 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.799 so I were to like hospital. So it isn't my 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.080 biggest thing. He's he's a great he's a joy to 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.720 talk to. Actually, he's he's a smart guy and a 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.520 really good interview and a nice guy. And Uh, to 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.280 have him back, I think it's good for the football 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.480 team and certainly good for him. I mean, that's just 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.519 the unknown for him, I think was the big concern there. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.960 And it's kind of a neat kid because I've only 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.720 talked to him one on one maybe a couple of times. 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.360 But he strikes he as a guy who went to 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.840 Murray State. Uh, A lot of this is sort of 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.920 new and unexpected. He's not jaded all by it. He 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:16.120 didn't go to you know, Alabama there's a lot of media, coach, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.919 a lot of scrutiny, so a lot of this it's 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.760 still fun for him. And my understanding was I didn't 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.639 get a chance of asking this yesterday, But I understanding 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.359 was when they told him knee surgery, he didn't really 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.880 know what that knee surgery meant. Like he heard knee surgery, 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.760 I was like, wait a minute, is this like serious 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.440 and had to be explained to him. Now it's it's 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.320 a clean up. You're finely back for the very good season. 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.440 So I think once he found that out, he was 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.160 very relieved. And he doesn't have the experience yet with 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.920 surgery like Logs sits here and can rattle off his 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.240 nineteam a thousand surgeries that he had and give you 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.320 a laundry list and logs. You know, by the time 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:53.360 a lot of these guys are in their eighth to 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.880 ninth year, they know going in what it is, what 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.720 to expect, this is, it was all new. The good 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.600 news Quincy is he's gonna be back. I think he's 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.440 gonna be back by the regular season opener. I I 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.280 don't get the idea listening to Doug All through this 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.160 training camp in preseason This is a guy who has 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.720 been cautious to a point of extreme, his air in 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.640 the side of caution with everything. I can't imagine that 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.239 he won't do the same thing with a kid who's 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.960 coming off a knee. Uh. Who they believe in, who 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.080 they've seen a lot out of, they like what they've seen. 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.760 I think some guys might play Tom all night, who 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.800 they're not sure what they've seen yet. With Quincy, I 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.560 think there's a belief that he's going to be good. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.080 Let's just be safe. I'd be surprised to be played Tom. 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.080 I'm kind of with you on that. That makes a 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.440 lot of sense. They like Nay good there, and even 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.200 no matter what happens next week in that position, who 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.400 they figure out to put out there, I think they're 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.039 both going to see some time. I don't think there's 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.960 any Yeah, he talked about platooning and and I'll get 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.039 this a minute, but he's talked about platooning right guard. 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.880 It's kind of hard to believe they wouldn't do that 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.440 at a linebacker the first week and certainly have a 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:02.920 I forget when DC talked about a couple of weeks back, 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.360 talked about, Hey, you know you're go into these things 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.640 with young guys of having a plan A and then 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.720 a Plan B in Casey looks overwhelmed at first, I 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.359 think the Plan B with Nagy Good is one they like. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.480 So maybe Quincy starts gets out there after a series. Hey, 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.039 what do you see something like that would make sense. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.600 We'll see moving ahead what the Jacks plan to do 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.880 with the rookie linebacker. Well, this week is just always 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.960 a little bit of an odd week in that locker room. 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.799 It's ninety guys and then all of a sudden come Monday, 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.039 they're fifty three guys plus ten practice squad guys, maybe 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.280 not even ten practice squad guys at that point until 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.120 they fill out the practice squad roster. So you're down 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.360 from ninety to say sixty to sixty three guys on Monday. 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.560 It's a big change in the locker room. And we 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.599 talked to a few different guys this week, John about 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.360 about this with guys who haven't been through it yet, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.040 undrafted rookies this year or just going through it for 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.040 the first time and might have their final chance on 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.760 an NFL field or final chance with Jaguars. And then 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.560 we've talked to some veteran guys who have been in 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.919 the league now for seven years, who started as an 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.800 undrafted player and then stuck and have been in the 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.560 league ever since. And one of those is Abvery Jones, 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.800 Jaguars defensive tackle. He had to think back a little bit. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.640 It's been a while since he went through this week 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.200 his rookie season, my rookie year, I felt like I 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.960 did enough to make practice squad, so I was kind 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.680 of just waiting on my call and hopefully just get 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.840 picked back up. And then, you know, I didn't get 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.200 a call. So you know, at first I called my agent, 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:32.640 you know, make sure they had to see if they 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.560 called him. I know they have my right number or not, 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.560 because they were still calling me arm but uh, well 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.440 I didn't get I didn't get the call, so you know, 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.479 when I realized it, it was kind of it was exciting, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.839 you know, you know, happy as hell. It's just overwhelming, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.720 especially when you think you're not gonna really make it, 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.120 you're No. Fifty three or anything like that. It's just 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.320 life changing to me. It was like a quick transition 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.000 period because I had to go to work the next 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:00.440 day and I had nowhere to live, and it was 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.839 kicking us out of hotel, So it was like, you know, 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.839 it was a half moment, it was a quick transition. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.360 There's a lot going on in the guy's mind like that, 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.840 I mean, out of places before. So you know how 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.200 that is. It happens right, and if you're up against it, 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:16.360 if you're trying to make a team or make a broadcast, 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.480 whatever it is. I mean, in any world, walk of life, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.840 you can go through something like that. It's a big moment. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.080 These guys been working through their college careers to try 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.000 to get to the NFL and they're finally here, but 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.240 you don't know where you're gonna be the next week. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.760 It's the weirdest day of the year when you walk 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.160 in on Monday. And I know players sense it to 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.560 they're like young guys. They don't talk much about it, 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:43.240 but you've there's a the offseason team in locker room 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.040 has a much different field than the regular season, and 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.520 there's ninety guys around. There's a lot of guys. They're 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.560 all working, they're rehabbing together and they do build some 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:57.240 bonds and then there's you know, probably forty five of 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.360 these guys know that they're probably gonna be on the roster, 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.880 but they make the team, and then there's eight guys 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.120 who are overjoyed because they've made it, at least for 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.840 a couple of days they're in. But then there's also 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.240 even the stars go through this when they walk in 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.520 on Monday and look around. There's guys they were working 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:20.760 out next to who there's that I'm sure fifteen twenty 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.400 minutes where they're sitting there and the guys not there 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.640 next to them. When they realize this is a business. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:29.000 It's a tough business. It ends fast. Uh, And most 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.160 guys I've ever talked to say that there are some 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.400 there is some time on Monday where you sit back 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.160 and think how lucky you are to be in this league, 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.079 and how luck you already have the talent and too 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.400 and for some of them, how lucky they are to 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.400 have been in a situation where okay, this time it 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:44.960 worked out. Because some of these guys who make it 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.520 have been situations where they haven't made it before, so 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.400 they get how difficult it can be. There's a lot 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.800 of guys on the team like that. This year, there's 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.960 a lot of third or fourth year guys who are 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.360 trying to make this who have a chance, and uh, 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.480 it's always an emotional day and you go through these oceans. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.800 But yet at the same time, the coaches are telling 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:09.079 them now is the time. It's it starts. Now all 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:13.000 the preparation forget all that. Now it's time to go win. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.960 So all of a sudden you're in in uh, you know, 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.160 game mode. So it's it's it's a very strange day 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.920 as a put it. You know, that's when you realize 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.040 you're one of the chosen ones, that the organization feels 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.040 you can help this team get to the Super Bowl 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.320 and win the Super Bowl. And that's then it's time 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.400 to play. And that's that's how it turns out. The 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:36.920 year Abri got chosen, they weren't winning a Super but 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.760 but the point is, all of a sudden they are 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.760 in it. And and for the young guys, they're not 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.439 only going through Okay, I made it, but they're trying 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.240 to The coach are trying to get them to the 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.160 point of, um, there's a different level you have to 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.120 play at now too. Okay, you've made it. That's great. 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.120 You probably accomplished something that that you've been working for 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.360 your whole life. Now, guess what we need need more, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.360 We need more intensity, we need more a higher level 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.800 of play. That's why it's to be a rookie, because 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.160 you're not really ready for that. You mentioned some of 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.120 these third fourth year guys that have been through this before. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.560 They're just trying to stick on another team with the Jaguars. 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.560 One of those guys is Trey mcbrin wide received reasons. 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.000 He's in his fourth year out of William and Mary, 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.120 And as is the case with you know, deep down 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.880 the depth chart wide receiver's, fourth, fifth, sixth receiver types, 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.080 special teams come into play and I had a chance 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.640 to ask him what exactly does that mean for a 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.120 player and what he's gone through in special teams in 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.640 this preseason, I'm on the depth chart in all phases. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.160 I haven't necessarily wrapped each phase in every game. It's 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:42.920 kind of been split up. You know. Baltimore, I got 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.600 some gunner, and I haven't seen much gunner since then, 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.240 so you know, hopefully I get a chance to get 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.760 some more gunner, which is an important role um on 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.160 the coverage team for punt and uh, you know, I 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.480 think that that's you know, really critical as far as 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.600 is my specific career path is involved. But I've been 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.680 doing kickoff coverage been you know, I had to tackle 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.280 UM two weeks ago, and and you know, and assist 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.000 this last week. And uh, you know, I haven't haven't 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.760 got a chance to be a feature returner, but I 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.840 have stepped in and returned some um this preseason, and 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.040 I thought that all those were you know, as far 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.120 as I'm as far as like, the feedback that I've 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.880 gotten from the coaches has been good. You know, I'm 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.439 seeing it right and and and taking the cuts where 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.120 they need to be and catching all of them and 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.360 stuff like that. So you know, I hope that, uh, 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:30.680 I hope that all that stuff matters for me. I 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.400 hope that they like, you know, I hope that that 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.240 holds weight in the in the staff room. And because 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.040 I you know, I believe that I can't help being 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.880 tremendous help on special teams UM on all phases. I 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.240 think I'm pretty versatile and you can kind of stick 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.360 me in anywhere and I can get the job done. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:49.559 So there's uh, fantastic approach there for a guy who's, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.000 as we said, been through this before. He understands what 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.760 it takes and and and and how this week goes. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.760 And what a performance like that on special teams. Those 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.160 those reps, those snaps, though they aren't on offense, are 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.920 unbelievably valuable, especially in a week like this, and he's 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.240 in a situation and there's a few of these situations 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.160 out there this year for this team. Thomas Rawls comes 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:17.160 to mind, um that, because everybody's looking for a story 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.480 right now and and you're looking for a hook. We 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.280 all talk about bubble guys, and we all talk about 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.880 the young guys, and we'll all be writing and discussing 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.400 it on Monday when some of these guys have made 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.160 it or they haven't made it. But for a guy 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.760 like Trey McBride, his reality might be I don't think 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:39.880 he's gonna make I think they're gonna keep six six receivers. 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.320 I get the feeling one of them be prior, so 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.199 there's not gonna be seven. But for a guy like him, 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.480 he clearly has shown this staff that he can get 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.760 it done if needed. So there's a lot of guys 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.200 like that who might not make the fifty three. But 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.559 and it's an usual situation cause there's been no injuries 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.520 at that spot this year. Usually guys like Tray McBride 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.880 make it. If if you have a weird injury, then 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.120 all of a sudden, that fifth or sixth spot comes open. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.160 So a guy like him a guy like role as 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.959 a guy like maybe Ben Koyak. These guys come to 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.920 mind who've been the league for a while, They've shown 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.880 and they want to show the coaches one more time Thursday, 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.400 you can rely on me. So in September, if somebody 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.120 does get hurt, these guys are the first call back 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.960 because they know the scheme, they know what's going on. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:25.720 They're comfortable. So sometimes these guys aren't playing for bubble 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.600 spots right now as much as they're playing for Okay, 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.360 we're on your list of ten or twelve guys that 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.680 when attrition starts during the season, and it always does, 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.440 these guys are often the first calls back. We've seen 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.440 that over the years, many many times, guys who all 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.559 of a sudden in October you're saying hello to him again. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.160 Elie and Ko has been around here for a couple 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.640 of years. He's a guy certainly on the bubble this 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.840 year with a draft pick at the nose tackle spot 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:55.280 this year and Dontevious Russell Elienko's approach, Hey just put 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.800 it on tape. The goal is to approach it just 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.679 as any other week. You know, obviously everyone's fighting for 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.640 a job, whether it's you know here or somewhere else possibly. Um, 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.719 everyone's just trying to have their best foot forward. You're 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.840 not trying to stress yourself out with all these are 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.680 am I gonna make the team and blah blah blah. Um. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.520 At the end of the day, you just gotta put 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.720 your your your best self on tape. Um. If if 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.240 you're a bet, you're a good fit for this team, 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.040 then you know you'll end up with this team. But 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.000 if you belong on another team, another scheme, then so 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.400 be it. And you see what he's done in his career. 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.120 He's bounced around from the Texans to the Jags and 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.160 has been in eleven games so far in his career 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.360 with sack and a half so far in his time here. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.400 And he's another example of what I'm talking about. You 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:40.120 know guys who you know, even if they think they 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:44.200 may not be making this team. Um. The coaching staff, 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.000 especially a guy like Doug remembers, Hey, this was a 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.320 guy who in that last preseason game maybe knew he 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.920 wasn't gonna make it, still was prepared. Still gave it 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.080 the best shots, still performed, and then when they're looking 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.200 at a list of guys in October to bring back, 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.160 who do you trust, Well, this guy did it for 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.400 me once. I don't know this other name over here. 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.960 So that's the sort of thing that as disappointed as 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.040 some of these guys will, we'll never be a lot 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.400 of disappointment many of the guys who get cut. If 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:19.200 if you cut what thirty five, twelve, sixteen of those 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.040 guys wind up playing somewhere else. So that's sort of 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.280 the very difficult journeyman part of the league. Our final 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:29.600 thought on this topic today comes from an undrafted rookies perspective. 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.040 We've heard from the seventh year player and Abrey Jones, 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.520 We've heard from the fourth year veteran and McBride. We've 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.880 just heard from Anku who's a young player in this 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:42.000 league now Tyree Brady, the undrafted wide receiver from Marshall. 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.000 It can be a little nerve racking for an undrafted rookie. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.280 I can troll yousause you know it's a big it's 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.480 a big um. It's a big game right here, you know, 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.920 a big week, you know, and going into it, you 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.880 know that that's the main part. You wanna you want 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.520 to go in the East game with a clear mind. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.800 It's just halfling out there. Just play ball, do what 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.680 you do. So I mean, that's what I just mean, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.840 focused on just playing a ball, you know, just working 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.080 on my technique, the little things like that. You know, 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:06.840 I'm looking forward because it's a game, and you know, 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.920 I'm insidy. I'm in the NFL, catching balls, running routes. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.400 So I mean, that's society. This happy to be here 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.120 man in the NFL running routes and catching balls. One 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:16.760 same deal has a chance to be on the practice squad. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.560 He showed especially early in camp, really showed up probably 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.720 a little bit more of a pure wide receiver, and 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.280 it's it's hard to visualize him making a huge impact 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:32.240 on special teams UM, just because of of the body type. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.120 He looks like a big guy who can play uh 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.240 at the wide receiver position. Sometimes tough for those guys 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.640 to be special teams guys. UM. But another guy who 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.600 showed up early and wouldn't be surprising at all on 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.600 the practice squad and a guy who winds up on 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:52.040 the ninety next year. Sometimes those you know you know 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.760 you started calling first year veterans rather than rookies. A 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.800 lot of times those guys are the guys who wind 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.680 up showing up in training camp the next season. Fun 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.920 conversation with him too, He's he's a fun guy to talk. 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.440 I haven't talked to him. He seems like a good kid. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.680 Let's come back. We got plenty to come on the 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.000 Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Field's Auto Group.
