Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, August. This is Jack Bars Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: And now that guy who could easily shotgun a can
Speaker 1: of gatorade or beer or six pounds standing rib roast
Speaker 1: j Peace shiit Rick, the man's not wrong. Welcome into
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Our our first Wednesday show of the campaign,
Speaker 1: and we've got plenty to get to today. Bucky Brooks debut,
Speaker 1: will get to the offensive installation and a short time
Speaker 1: frame for this Jaguars offense. What can they get done
Speaker 1: over the next week and a half. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: the defensive attrition that has happened so far and how
Speaker 1: the Jaguars battle that. And a report this afternoon that
Speaker 1: a trade is from what imminent of Unike and goc Way.
Speaker 1: We'll touch on that, and we'll go around the National
Speaker 1: Football League. John Osier, Jaguars senior writer with us as
Speaker 1: always is on Wednesday, but we welcome in the newest
Speaker 1: member of the Jaguars broadcast team from NFL Network and
Speaker 1: former Jaguar, Bucky Brooks. Bucky, it's great to have you. Hey,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for having me home, and I'm excited
Speaker 1: to be a part of the team. No doubt, John,
Speaker 1: you've known Bucky for a long time, going back to
Speaker 1: the I guess the mid nineties, right, well, we had
Speaker 1: two years together. As writers like to say of players
Speaker 1: they cover, uh covered Buckey nine six, part of nineties
Speaker 1: seven with the Jags, and then you know, in the
Speaker 1: last few years as as a lot of us to
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com and around the NFL have have gotten
Speaker 1: a no Bucky again in his work, you know, through
Speaker 1: the NFL, especially leading up to the draft. He's been
Speaker 1: on a lot this offseason as we geared up for this. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. I can tell you JP
Speaker 1: as a reporter, when I saw that Bucky was doing
Speaker 1: well as an analyst, it didn't surprise me. He was
Speaker 1: one of the better guys to talk to in the
Speaker 1: locker room back then, and he's still one of the
Speaker 1: better guys to talk to on television and the media now.
Speaker 1: So Bucky, I'm looking forward to any Buddy, thanks so much.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the kind of words we need, some like
Speaker 1: classic nineties six stories. We've got a whole season to
Speaker 1: get to some of those, but you know, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to hear some of those as we move along here. Bucky,
Speaker 1: for sure, you see his work on NFL Network the
Speaker 1: Move the Sticks podcast with Daniel Jeremiah. Five years of
Speaker 1: the National Football League, including some time here in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: And you know, it wasn't long after that, Bucky, you
Speaker 1: went straight into media work. You were pretty quick into
Speaker 1: it right after you retires that right well, that Scott
Speaker 1: it for about seven years. So that kind of gave me, Um,
Speaker 1: I guess uh feel for the business in a way
Speaker 1: because I was writing so much within Man in two
Speaker 1: thousand seven, had an opportunity to start writing for sports
Speaker 1: to illustrate it, and away I went. But it's been
Speaker 1: a very, very enjoyable experience and I'm really loving what
Speaker 1: I'm about to do. What you got us. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: scouting part of it is interesting because you put you
Speaker 1: in Daniel on a podcast together. It's like, Okay, now
Speaker 1: you guys know exactly what you're looking for, what you're
Speaker 1: talking about when it comes to two prospects. The pre
Speaker 1: draft process is unbelievable with you two guys. But having
Speaker 1: that scouting background gives you an insight that not a
Speaker 1: lot of people have. Yes, you need, man, I feel
Speaker 1: like I've been blessed enforcunate it in my career. It's
Speaker 1: not only played for a bunch of great hit coaches,
Speaker 1: but to be around a bunch of great person nail
Speaker 1: Man uh, from Ron Wolf to some of the other
Speaker 1: guys that I've also been around, Scott mccluen and John Snyder.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've really learned a lot about the
Speaker 1: business and the team building process. John. It's uh, it
Speaker 1: is a different view of things than we would have
Speaker 1: right as a as a writer and a broadcaster. You know,
Speaker 1: if you haven't been inside those war rooms, it's it's
Speaker 1: a little different John. To get his point of view,
Speaker 1: there's no question. And a couple of weeks ago, when
Speaker 1: Bucky was on the Ozone Pie Cast, we talked about
Speaker 1: that a little bit and I was fascinated to learn
Speaker 1: how being a scout, which is much different than how
Speaker 1: you see things as a player. I think players often
Speaker 1: just see things from their own individual position point of view.
Speaker 1: If you're a wide receiver, that's how you see the world.
Speaker 1: You're wanting the ball, you're trying to learn the offense.
Speaker 1: As a scout, you have to step back and look
Speaker 1: almost down on the game from a higher point of view.
Speaker 1: Not that many media types, which Bucky unfortunate for you.
Speaker 1: You are a media type. Now, uh not that many
Speaker 1: in the media have both of those who have seen
Speaker 1: as a player and know how players think, and who
Speaker 1: have seen it from a scout. So I don't want
Speaker 1: to say it's absolutely the only one, but it's a
Speaker 1: very unique point of view that he comes with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was definitely unique. But I'm excited. I'm excited to
Speaker 1: offer up some analysis for the Jacks. Let's do it, man, Well,
Speaker 1: let's get right into it. Let's start off though, with
Speaker 1: the big picture. Look here, guys, it is a strange
Speaker 1: training camp around the National Football League, no preseason games,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's difficult to get work in with
Speaker 1: only fourteen padded practices. Actually eleven of those are full practices.
Speaker 1: There's a ramp up period even in pads that I
Speaker 1: think we're still in right now, maybe one or two
Speaker 1: more practices before you can go a full practice in
Speaker 1: full pads. So the time and the opportunity for players
Speaker 1: that are maybe on the roster bubble to show off
Speaker 1: and shine is limited at best this year. Bucky. How
Speaker 1: much of a challenge is evaluation for a coaching staff,
Speaker 1: for a scouting staff, a GM decision makers when there's
Speaker 1: no action under the lights at all. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: really really tough because there are certain guys that play
Speaker 1: well during practices, but there are other guys that shine
Speaker 1: in game. We'll get back with Bucky at a moment. Well, John,
Speaker 1: this is you know, as we talked about before the
Speaker 1: evaluation process, it comes down to paddent practices. That's difficult.
Speaker 1: Would think that there's a pretty good idea of four
Speaker 1: of the football team, which those those bubble guys are
Speaker 1: going to be the real question mark this year. Who stays,
Speaker 1: who goes in the practice squad? Who? You know, forty
Speaker 1: two of the guys, Uh, we're gonna be in the team.
Speaker 1: Five they have a good idea. I think what's interesting
Speaker 1: about this is the reality is with sixteen practice squad guys,
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be a year where I think
Speaker 1: you use more than that. You're gonna have some floaters
Speaker 1: as I call them, guys who are on and off
Speaker 1: the practice squad. You know, I get the cut down
Speaker 1: days a big deal in the NFL because you know
Speaker 1: you're either making the team or not. But when you
Speaker 1: talk about the numbers, when you get to eight guys
Speaker 1: in camp, sixteen plus fifty three. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're at sixty nine guys. I don't know that that
Speaker 1: many guys here are actually fighting for jobs. I think
Speaker 1: the teams trying to figure out who do went on
Speaker 1: the practice squad, who do we want to sort of
Speaker 1: have in that minor league, if you will, the quick
Speaker 1: call up. So yes, it'll affect some jobs at the end.
Speaker 1: But I almost get the feeling in this COVID season
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be so much opportunity because there's some turnover,
Speaker 1: that this all sort of works out, and in the
Speaker 1: long run, a lot of the guys who get cut,
Speaker 1: I think we're going to be on active rosters before
Speaker 1: the end of the season. So maybe it all will
Speaker 1: sort of work out over the course of the next
Speaker 1: hopefully four months. Bucky Brooks back with us. Now we
Speaker 1: lost you, they're glad to have you back, of course.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the the challenge here is trying to figure
Speaker 1: out who is your core part of your football team,
Speaker 1: who do you want on that practice squad. How do
Speaker 1: you get them to the practice flood without getting them
Speaker 1: selected off waivers. Yeah, no, that is a big challenge.
Speaker 1: And John, you bring up a great point about the
Speaker 1: monor league system and using the practice squad like that,
Speaker 1: because that's where a lot of the draftees or the
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents that normally would have a chance to
Speaker 1: make the team, they may find themselves on the practice squad.
Speaker 1: But because the practice squad is so critical this year,
Speaker 1: the coaches have to continue to develop the young players.
Speaker 1: It has to be a priority for the Jaguars to
Speaker 1: make sure they developed the young players because you're gonna
Speaker 1: need them to play about around the middle of the season.
Speaker 1: When it comes down to a cutdown. It's not like
Speaker 1: the roster is at eighty now, right, um, and then
Speaker 1: you've gotta be at fifty three and maybe they've added
Speaker 1: one I can't remember, and then the practice squad is sixteen.
Speaker 1: So there's true like nine to ten actual players that
Speaker 1: won't be around the organization unless you poach somebody off
Speaker 1: another waiver wire, right, Bucky. That's that's kind of the
Speaker 1: big thing. We always think about the huge cut down
Speaker 1: from fifty three, but it seems a much different this
Speaker 1: time around. Yeah, it's much different. And when teams decided
Speaker 1: to become skinny, meaning only bring eighty guys into camp,
Speaker 1: you pretty much cut your team almost all the way down.
Speaker 1: As John was refercenting, you have fifty guys that can
Speaker 1: be on the active roster, another six team in that
Speaker 1: practice squad mixed. So right now we're talking about severyone guys,
Speaker 1: eight or nine guys that are in play on the bubble. Typically,
Speaker 1: the team kind of has a general idea who they
Speaker 1: want to carry on their squad, but they do leave
Speaker 1: a spot or two for a surprise they may emerging camp.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move along. Now. The other part of
Speaker 1: this thing is teams affected by this new field. And
Speaker 1: you know, I get the feeling, guys that a more
Speaker 1: veteran football team, a team that has an established offensive scheme,
Speaker 1: defensive scheme, uh players who have been around an organization
Speaker 1: for a long time, will have an advantage in this
Speaker 1: situation without preseason games, where a team like the Jaguars
Speaker 1: is young with a new offensive coordinator, a second year quarterback,
Speaker 1: a lot of young players on the team, they're trying
Speaker 1: just trying to get an offense going bucky. This is
Speaker 1: I think an advantage for a veteran team rather than
Speaker 1: a team really like the Jaguars, it's young and trying
Speaker 1: to figure things out. Typically, I would say It is
Speaker 1: advantageous for a veteran team because they already understand the system.
Speaker 1: There's a level of chemistry and continuity that already exists
Speaker 1: with the team. However, with a team that you have
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator this new and you have young players,
Speaker 1: you can maybe catch some early opponents by surprise because
Speaker 1: they haven't seen what you're doing because they haven't been
Speaker 1: any preseason games. That's an excellent point in fact, John,
Speaker 1: you know that the next trick, John, is Jake Gruden
Speaker 1: has to figure out what type of offense this is
Speaker 1: and can those guys pick it up? And uh, it's
Speaker 1: still He said the other day that this team is
Speaker 1: in diapers, but they've got to put those big boy
Speaker 1: pants on pretty quick here, John, and be ready to
Speaker 1: go week one. That's not cocking on the door quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you better change out the diaper's fast. And he knows
Speaker 1: that there's I think it's a twelve practice in the
Speaker 1: next thirteen days something like that. Absolutely critical for Jay
Speaker 1: Gruden to figure out what he's got during that. You know,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I agree with Bucky. Teams with veteran
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and coordinators who have been together, I think have
Speaker 1: a tremendous advantage. Right now, I think I will say
Speaker 1: I get the Gardner man, she's young. I am glad
Speaker 1: for the jaguars sake that they at least have a
Speaker 1: veteran coordinator, meaning Jay Gruden has been through this before.
Speaker 1: And I think Doug Morone to a point he didn't
Speaker 1: anticipate COVID, but he did say when he hired Jay
Speaker 1: Gruden he didn't want a young guy this time. He
Speaker 1: wanted somebody who had been there before. He didn't know
Speaker 1: about COVID. But I think the fact that COVID has
Speaker 1: come along and really cut down the learning time absolutely
Speaker 1: means that Jay Gruden, I think, will have a distinct
Speaker 1: advantage any veteran coordinator over a guy who's coming in
Speaker 1: and also trying to learn how to be a coordinator.
Speaker 1: Jay doesn't have to worry about that. He knows how
Speaker 1: to do this. Yeah, let's say I guess the next
Speaker 1: point here of go ahead, Bucky, No, I'm saying that's
Speaker 1: a really good point, And the trick will be how
Speaker 1: quickly can Jake Gruden adapt to going to minsh you
Speaker 1: and what he has around him. How quickly can he
Speaker 1: cut down a big playbook and make it small and
Speaker 1: digestible for all these young guys to be able to
Speaker 1: play fast. Yeah, what what is this offense going to
Speaker 1: look like? That's the next question, right, Are they gonna
Speaker 1: lean on the quarterback, second year guy with some young
Speaker 1: playmakers around him, or are they gonna pound the rock
Speaker 1: with Leonard for that and a contract here? Bucky, what's
Speaker 1: your gut on what this thing's gonna look like at
Speaker 1: the start? You know, my my gut would normally say, hey,
Speaker 1: let's lean on the running back, because if you have
Speaker 1: a veteran running back that you can lean on, it
Speaker 1: makes the game easier for everybody else. But when you
Speaker 1: look at what Jake Gruden does schramatically and how Garner
Speaker 1: minsh You's place, it's kind of like a marriage made
Speaker 1: in a quick rhythm passer running a West Coast offense
Speaker 1: that gets the ball out to the playmakers. You look
Speaker 1: at the playmakers that are on the outside, D J Chard,
Speaker 1: d D Westbrook, Lebiscus, and there are a lot of
Speaker 1: weapons that can make place. And then don't underestimate the
Speaker 1: impact of Chris Thompson. Chris Thompson could be a critical
Speaker 1: factor out the backfield as a wide receiver, and oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, Lena Finette also called the ball will
Speaker 1: out the backfield. I think it may still be past
Speaker 1: centric with Lena Fernette Steel having a heavy workload as
Speaker 1: a runner. It's the great unknown for the Jaguars in
Speaker 1: what is this thing even gonna look like? Nobody knows.
Speaker 1: Let's come back. We know what this defense is donald
Speaker 1: in the past around here, but there's a lot of
Speaker 1: new faces over there, especially over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: We'll here from Timmy Journ again when we come back
Speaker 1: and discuss the report this afternoon that there could be
Speaker 1: a trade upcoming involving a certain defensive end. You can

Speaker 1: to the quarterback, I feel like I got the ability
Speaker 1: to do both, you know what I mean. All I
Speaker 1: need to really do it's just proved to to to
Speaker 1: everyone that I'm ready for that. You know, that's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing. I gotta prove my point here within the
Speaker 1: next three weeks that you know, uh, I'm ready for
Speaker 1: the task and I think I can do it. Timmy
Speaker 1: Journ again the defensive tackle signed by the Jaguars this
Speaker 1: week and he joins the defensive line room that has
Speaker 1: a whole lot of new faces over that time period.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Jaguars. Happy our j P Shadrick with Bucky
Speaker 1: Brooks and John Osier and we're discussing the defensive line.
Speaker 1: This has been a revolving door. The last few weeks
Speaker 1: around here, a couple of opt outs, some guys put
Speaker 1: on reserve, are the injured reserve list, Uh, some guy
Speaker 1: has signed. I mean, there's a lot of moving parts here.
Speaker 1: And then this afternoon reports are surfacing that there is
Speaker 1: a trade that is somewhat imminent for the Jaguars of
Speaker 1: Unique and Dockway. Bucky. You know, we've we've heard about
Speaker 1: this all off season, that Unique is franchise tag. He
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play for the Jags, he wants to
Speaker 1: be moved and not play here anymore. But this is
Speaker 1: the most definitive, at least reporting we've seen close to
Speaker 1: a deal so far. Yeah, it seems like it's imminent
Speaker 1: that he is going to leave Jacksonville and was being
Speaker 1: floated out there maybe a second or third round pick
Speaker 1: and a player coming back. And I would say it
Speaker 1: would be a significant loss for the Jaguars. Obviously. He's
Speaker 1: a sack artist, approven sack artist who is disruptive off
Speaker 1: the edge. He plays with a tremendous motor. But they
Speaker 1: already put some safeguards in place. We saw Josh Allen
Speaker 1: going into his second year, is ready to play. Caleb
Speaker 1: and Chase and was drafted in the first round, so
Speaker 1: they up with a younger, more athletic set of bookends.
Speaker 1: They may not be fully polished and ready to go,
Speaker 1: but they certainly can get it done with these young
Speaker 1: guys on the edges. John, They've counted on those draft picks,
Speaker 1: as Bucky mentioned there, Josh Allen and Chason. Chason hasn't
Speaker 1: been on the practice field yet, but it doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to be. At least the word is that that hamstring
Speaker 1: issue is not too much of a big deal. But
Speaker 1: obviously this will be huge if the Jags move forward.
Speaker 1: It's a big piece of the organization the last few
Speaker 1: years around here. Well, it's huge, and there's no way
Speaker 1: to say that it's going to help you on the
Speaker 1: field this year because taking a got way eye of
Speaker 1: the equation takes away not just the sack. Then. I'm
Speaker 1: on record. I've said before, I don't know that he's
Speaker 1: elite in terms of sack guy don't. I don't if
Speaker 1: he's an elite in terms of defensive ends, in terms
Speaker 1: of completeness, but what he's exceptional as when he has
Speaker 1: a chance at the quarterback, making the play and getting
Speaker 1: the ball out. I don't know that you replace that element. Uh,
Speaker 1: Chason would need to step up in a way that
Speaker 1: most edge rushers in their first year dun't. Josh Allen
Speaker 1: was an exception double digit sax that's rare. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: expect that out of Chason. I think the person that
Speaker 1: it really puts the onus on would be Smooth, meaning
Speaker 1: he's not really a pure sack guy, Dwayne Smoot, but
Speaker 1: he's a guy who with effort can give you a lot.
Speaker 1: I think he would play a big role at the
Speaker 1: big end over there. Um, those are the kind of
Speaker 1: things that would have to happen in terms of really
Speaker 1: having the rotation. Defensive line is always rotational. The rotation
Speaker 1: would have to play big. The only good news is
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen is ready to become a guy
Speaker 1: that is the equivalent of two players. He's that good
Speaker 1: in terms of his impact. He can his development this
Speaker 1: year into a year two elite guy, which I think
Speaker 1: he will be. Could make up for the loss of
Speaker 1: a talent like in god Way have a lot to
Speaker 1: put on Josh Allen. But yeah, think Josh Allen's that good. Look,
Speaker 1: he's a dominant player. UH. Ten and a half sacks
Speaker 1: right out the Gate Pro Bowl caliber player, and you
Speaker 1: could probably say that he kind of kept Hall back
Speaker 1: a little bit in terms of the leadership qualities. Well,
Speaker 1: now their room is his, so he can fully be
Speaker 1: the guy that we saw at Kentucky coming off the
Speaker 1: edge sparking the interests. But on the inside, Tavin, Brian
Speaker 1: and Tim Joern again they have to step up. They
Speaker 1: have to get someone on the inside that can give
Speaker 1: them an inside presence. You can have one outside guy,
Speaker 1: but someone on the inside has to be able to
Speaker 1: collapse the pocket. Yeah, collapse the pockets, stop the run.
Speaker 1: That's been the thing around here offseason. All that combined
Speaker 1: on the interior here, let's go, let's go a little
Speaker 1: more in onto on the table. Brian here. Bucky obviously
Speaker 1: a late first round picked for this Jags team, at
Speaker 1: least so far, has not had the statistical performances to
Speaker 1: to really ignite the fan base and get everybody fired up.
Speaker 1: But he's a big, strong guy who did at the
Speaker 1: end of last season start to come into his own
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's got to be a good sign
Speaker 1: for him moving ahead here. Yeah, there has to be
Speaker 1: a good sign. Normally for most young players, particularly they
Speaker 1: were drafted high. We said the third year is the
Speaker 1: critical year. That's when the light bulb should come off.
Speaker 1: So this is the big year that everyone is expecting
Speaker 1: Brian to be the player that he was drafted to be.
Speaker 1: He's tough, he's physical, he's very athletic for his size.
Speaker 1: He has a really good motor. He just hasn't been
Speaker 1: able to put it together consistently. This is the year
Speaker 1: that we have to see the consistency because if he
Speaker 1: plays at a consistent level, he certainly can offset some
Speaker 1: of the disruption that will be lost if you in
Speaker 1: Gokway is no longer part of the team. John how
Speaker 1: big was the signing of Journegan. I know that you
Speaker 1: know there's been so many changes recently that's add him
Speaker 1: to the list of a new face around here. But
Speaker 1: what are the Jaguars expect from Journegon on the interior
Speaker 1: this defensive line. I think it's more than we think
Speaker 1: it is right now. Well, he's got to be a
Speaker 1: run stuff for first and foremost, because that's what they
Speaker 1: lost and they lost Woods in Gunter. If Joern again
Speaker 1: is the guy that has he has been most of
Speaker 1: his career, especially have pre injury, and I actually think
Speaker 1: they're okay. A defensive tackle. Haven Bryant's gotta play, maybe
Speaker 1: not to his absolute potential as a first round pick,
Speaker 1: but he's got to play between what that and what
Speaker 1: he's played. You still have Avery Jones, you still have
Speaker 1: journ again, and you still have Davon Hamilton's who they
Speaker 1: like a nose tackle. The the issue with losing the
Speaker 1: tackles is now all of these guys have to max out.
Speaker 1: There's not a whole lot of debt. But Jern again,
Speaker 1: I'll kind of leave this to Bucky. He watches more
Speaker 1: film of these guys and I do my impressions. He
Speaker 1: can give you a little pass rush, but really he
Speaker 1: has got to help them stop the run because the
Speaker 1: whole thing with the pass rush, I get that there's
Speaker 1: concerned about in Gokway not being there. They're probably him
Speaker 1: last year was never getting pass right. It was not
Speaker 1: being able to stop the run enough for a lot
Speaker 1: of good pass rushing to do their job effectively. So
Speaker 1: maybe Journagin can help them get to that situation where
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Jason can make plays. Yeah, John, I
Speaker 1: think that's a big part of it. Tim Joern again
Speaker 1: when he was coming out of Florida State Like there
Speaker 1: were people who thought he was gonna be a five
Speaker 1: star playmaker. He had found his way a little bit
Speaker 1: at the end of his tenure with the bottom of
Speaker 1: Ravens and then with the Philadelphia Eagles. But who's not
Speaker 1: to say that the light really can come on for him.
Speaker 1: This is a perfect situation for him to go and
Speaker 1: be that what I call inside penetrating playmaker that also
Speaker 1: stops to run and gets to the quarterback. He suddenly
Speaker 1: has the talent to be able to do something. We'll
Speaker 1: see if the Jaguars can kind of you know, right
Speaker 1: the ship here on the defensive line, a lot of
Speaker 1: moving parts over the last couple of weeks and about
Speaker 1: twelve padded practices to go until opening day. Let's come
Speaker 1: back in a moment, gentlemen, shall we, and we'll get

Speaker 1: Indeed from Bonos. I just want to let you know
Speaker 1: that we have now reopened all of our dining rooms.
Speaker 1: We appreciate all the love that you have showed us
Speaker 1: during this crisis. For over seventy one years, we have
Speaker 1: been here for you through good times and bad, our
Speaker 1: award winning barbecue and our unbelievable staff. Look forward to
Speaker 1: seeing you soon be safe. I went back and I
Speaker 1: looked at my right up on him, and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: this guy can run every route in the book. You
Speaker 1: know he is a he is an accomplished route runner,
Speaker 1: and um, he hasn't disappointed. Um he's um. Um, he
Speaker 1: showed him some physicality. UM. But um, you know we
Speaker 1: we we've got to be smartest coaches to put him
Speaker 1: into position where he's gonna best serve or breast um
Speaker 1: give us the most that that that he's got to
Speaker 1: um to guild. Ron Middleton tight ends coach for the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars from Robin Tiger has a Super Bowl ring
Speaker 1: with Washington as a tight end and now has been
Speaker 1: around this organization. I think he's on his fifth offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: That's something else. Welcome back, Jaguars, Happy our JP Shadrick
Speaker 1: John Osier for the final segment. He's gonna jump out
Speaker 1: a little early today. Bucky Brooks with us making his
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com video debut. He was on the ozone
Speaker 1: podcast last week check the archives on the official Jaguars
Speaker 1: podcast network. You know he was discussing Tyler effort there
Speaker 1: and Bucky the route running ability of a guy who
Speaker 1: was a first round pick. So obviously he has some talent,
Speaker 1: but the injury bug has bit effort throughout his career. Finally,
Speaker 1: last season, he plays a full season, stays healthy. When
Speaker 1: he's healthy and ready to roll, what can this guy
Speaker 1: bring do a j Gruden offense. He's an outstanding steam stretcher.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that can take the top all the defense,
Speaker 1: split the two deep zone, and really create problems between
Speaker 1: the hashes and because he's a big buddy guy that
Speaker 1: has some wide receiver like skills. I can envision Jay
Speaker 1: Gruden using him very much like he used a Jordan Reed. Remember,
Speaker 1: Jordan Reed became an All Pro caliber, a Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: caliber tight end under Jay Gruen because he were empty
Speaker 1: formation out and played games with the deployment of the
Speaker 1: tight end Tyler. Iford is athletic enough to do some
Speaker 1: of those things, he could be a huge weapon for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense. And John, I heard you this morning, Bucky.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know John scheduled, because John
Speaker 1: is on about six hundred and twenty five shows a week,
Speaker 1: whether it's here on Tintin XL radio, he is all
Speaker 1: over the place. So I believe John, and correct me
Speaker 1: if I'm mistaken. I heard you this morning on Jaguars
Speaker 1: Drive Time, on this website and on this app discussing
Speaker 1: Josh Oliver and that his loss, now a second year player,
Speaker 1: was banged up a lot last year. He has a
Speaker 1: broken bone in his foot. This loss could be even
Speaker 1: more meaningful for the Jaguars than all the defensive line changes.
Speaker 1: Was that this morning? Was I right with them? I
Speaker 1: think it was? And J P. Here's where I'm not
Speaker 1: as good as Buck. Bucky does few shows for much money.
Speaker 1: I do any shows for little money. So cowar long.
Speaker 1: Bucky's got to teach me his game, and he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to know my games. But Josh Oliver, I think
Speaker 1: is a huge loss. I wrote this morning for Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot Com and in the quick thoughts that I think
Speaker 1: it could be as big a loss as either defensive tackles,
Speaker 1: simply because Josh Oliver is a guy that they believe
Speaker 1: is on the very it's hard to stay on the verse.
Speaker 1: He doesn't et me on the field. They believe he's
Speaker 1: capable of being a breakout tight end, a versat tight
Speaker 1: end who can block, who can get down the scene.
Speaker 1: They think he had the potential of this year to
Speaker 1: break out and be big time with him being out,
Speaker 1: Tyler Eifford, if he's healthy, is going to love being
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville because he's gonna get every opportunity he's gonna get.
Speaker 1: Jay Gruden knows just how to use him and from him,
Speaker 1: and from what Middleton says, there will be no lining
Speaker 1: up in the backfield and taking on blockers in goal
Speaker 1: line for Tyler Eifford. He will be a pass catching
Speaker 1: tight end and if he's healthy, maybe the best one
Speaker 1: the Jags have had in a long long time. There's
Speaker 1: tight end. I absolutely agree. Um. The one thing that
Speaker 1: Jake Ruten typically does from a schematic standpoint, look for
Speaker 1: a lot of empty formations to create mismatches if they
Speaker 1: like the young wife receiver corps, which they should with
Speaker 1: DJ Chark and those guys. Going empty gives Tyler Eifford
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go one on one with linebackers and
Speaker 1: defensive backs, and that has advantaged There's been a history
Speaker 1: on here the last few years, Bucky of of not
Speaker 1: having a fullback on the roster, so lining up the
Speaker 1: tight end in the back and and doing that whole deal.
Speaker 1: But certainly not the case. There is a fullback on
Speaker 1: the roster currently. So uh, that's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a change for the offense, at least in training camp
Speaker 1: so far. So let's uh, we've touched on tight ends.
Speaker 1: Let's discuss this offensive line a bit, and you know
Speaker 1: it could be the same starting five to start this
Speaker 1: season that ended last year. Uh, Tony Basselli and Pete
Speaker 1: Prisco are with us on Monday nights, Bucky and we
Speaker 1: get a lot of insight from Basselli about the offensive
Speaker 1: line position, especially at left tackle. Of course, Cam Robinson
Speaker 1: is in his fourth year contract year. He's healthy coming
Speaker 1: into training camp for the first time in a long time.
Speaker 1: But there's also there might be a little competition there.
Speaker 1: Will Richardson Jr. Has moved over to left tackle. He
Speaker 1: played right tackle in college throughout his entire career at
Speaker 1: n C State. But Cam Robinson seems to be the guy,
Speaker 1: at least early in camp. That's fourth year player, he's
Speaker 1: been around the league. What have you seen from Cam
Speaker 1: in the last few years. There's a lot of talk
Speaker 1: about footwork and things and and where could that stand.
Speaker 1: I mean, robin center, Will Richardson could be your left
Speaker 1: tackle this year. Yeah, it'd be interesting because when I
Speaker 1: look at Cam Robinson, he is what we would call
Speaker 1: a Mahler brawler type. His his best traits are to
Speaker 1: lock on defensive ends and just kind of move them
Speaker 1: off the ball. He is not necessarily what I would
Speaker 1: call the technician that you want to leave on the
Speaker 1: island down after down and pass protection. And so when
Speaker 1: you're looking at Jake Gruden and what Jake Gruden wants
Speaker 1: to do, he has to make a decision based on Okay,
Speaker 1: here's my office in line. They played really well going forward,
Speaker 1: but my quarterback likes to get the ball out quick.
Speaker 1: I think it leads us to think they're gonna run
Speaker 1: the ball where they're gonna get the ball out quick.
Speaker 1: They're gonna try and get it to the hands of
Speaker 1: the playmakers and hope that the quick rhythm of the
Speaker 1: passing game for text the offensive line from having a
Speaker 1: block extended periods against talented players. John, It's interesting this
Speaker 1: this change for will Richardson. He's you know, he started
Speaker 1: a couple of games earlier in the year left tackle
Speaker 1: in place with Cam when he would had the other
Speaker 1: leg hurt earlier in the season. Then Cam came back
Speaker 1: in Week three, but moving over to left tackle. That
Speaker 1: they really praised Richardson's play and in last year's work
Speaker 1: with this football team, John, yea, they did. I still
Speaker 1: believe that Richardson's likely role this year. I think he'll
Speaker 1: wind up being the swing tackle and they moved in there.
Speaker 1: Maybe they lost a bay he so in the off
Speaker 1: season they were left if Cam starts and if Joan
Speaker 1: Taylor starts, which I would expect, they were left with
Speaker 1: no experience behind those guys. Richardson allowed them not to
Speaker 1: go out and have you sign a swing tackle. So
Speaker 1: the good news is it was a remarkably healthy offensive
Speaker 1: line last year. Now they've got a guy who they
Speaker 1: can plug in if there's injury. I don't know that
Speaker 1: Richardson is going to beat out a Cam Robinson. If
Speaker 1: Cam plays to his level. That's always been a big
Speaker 1: thing that he has a level that he hasn't reached yet.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to predict that he'll do that
Speaker 1: or not, because he's probably better at that than I am.
Speaker 1: But I do think that Will Richardson could be the
Speaker 1: left tackle next year because we don't know about camp
Speaker 1: situation at the end of this year. Yeah, Bucky, big
Speaker 1: year for Cam obviously, and we're talking about a contract
Speaker 1: here for a left tackle. If he comes out and
Speaker 1: plays well, whether it's here or you know, next year,
Speaker 1: whether it's here or somewhere else, we're gonna pay this
Speaker 1: guy a lot of money. That left tackle money is
Speaker 1: is big on the open market, even for Cam Robinson.
Speaker 1: But this is a huge year for him to come
Speaker 1: out and play well. Obviously, Yes, a huge year, and
Speaker 1: if he's motivated by money, you're talking about playing well,
Speaker 1: a sixty million dollar annual pay day that he could
Speaker 1: be looking at. I think the big thing for Cam
Speaker 1: Robinson is just understanding who he is and how he
Speaker 1: plays and making sure that the offensive coordinating and the
Speaker 1: line coaches and everybody understand what they have upfront. When
Speaker 1: I look at this offensive line, this offensive line still
Speaker 1: can move people off the ball. They still have the
Speaker 1: capacity to run the ball. Well. How committed will they
Speaker 1: be to the running game? That could determine what we
Speaker 1: say about the office lot when it comes to their
Speaker 1: performance and production. The arrest for the group. Of course,
Speaker 1: Andrew Norwell left guard veteran player in this league. Brandon
Speaker 1: Lender has has a second contract with the Jags, a
Speaker 1: j Can veteran in the league all with the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and we mentioned Juwan Taylor and Bucky. This is a
Speaker 1: guy who had fifteen penalties last year. I think that
Speaker 1: led the league in fact. But there is still tremendous
Speaker 1: talent there. Obviously, just gotta work through some of the
Speaker 1: hiccups as a young player and get some things going right.
Speaker 1: But the future is for Jiwan Taylor on the right side. Yes,
Speaker 1: certainly is right and what we have to understand. We
Speaker 1: got to train our minds. Did not think about the
Speaker 1: right tackle being different than the left tackle. The right
Speaker 1: tackle now faces tough matchups on the outside the killio
Speaker 1: Max Devon Miller's those guys play on that side now,
Speaker 1: So you have to have the footwork to be able
Speaker 1: to do it. And so when when Taylor has been
Speaker 1: plagued by penalties, it's because his technique has been off.
Speaker 1: Some of that will be corrected by being able to
Speaker 1: work on it. The other part will be able to
Speaker 1: be corrected because he is better acclimated to the pace
Speaker 1: in the rhythm of the game. John, I'm excited to
Speaker 1: hear from Juwan. I think he's on the schedule next
Speaker 1: week to speak with the media over a video conference
Speaker 1: on Microsoft Teams. His mindset has always been great. He's
Speaker 1: super approachable, obviously, but he's got the mental capacity is
Speaker 1: certainly down to to be a really, really good player
Speaker 1: in this league for a long time. John, And you
Speaker 1: mentioned penalties, and I get they were concerned for him
Speaker 1: last year, but it's ranking when you talk to Jaguars
Speaker 1: people about who the core of this team going forward is.
Speaker 1: And I'll leave out the rookies because you don't know
Speaker 1: about guys coming in. It's chart, it's Alan and it's
Speaker 1: Juan Taylor. They feel like they've hit on those guys.
Speaker 1: Two of them made the Pro Bowl last year, and
Speaker 1: they feel I've never talked to anybody within the Jaguars
Speaker 1: who doesn't think that Juan Taylor has Pro Bowl ability.
Speaker 1: Every time Doug talked about him last year, Jaguars head
Speaker 1: coach Doug Moron, you know, he would talk about the penalties,
Speaker 1: but he would also say, look, I can tell that
Speaker 1: this guy knows what he's doing. He's going to be
Speaker 1: very very good. Again. I don't know how you find
Speaker 1: out if he's making that jump until the season starts.
Speaker 1: But those three guys are everything you want in core players.
Speaker 1: And to me, those three, along with some other guys,
Speaker 1: those three are the future of the Jaguars. To me, hey, Bucky,
Speaker 1: do you believe in the whole cohesion with an offensive
Speaker 1: line thing that you need some time together and that
Speaker 1: this group is coming back from last year into this year?
Speaker 1: Is that a real thing for you and for scouts
Speaker 1: that that look at this thing, we'll get back with that. Bucky,
Speaker 1: In just a moment, I lost, but I'm back down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I lost you for a minute, but I'm back. So look,
Speaker 1: when you talk about the core, I think here's what's
Speaker 1: apparent about the core for the Jacksonville Jaguars and turning
Speaker 1: over newly for trying to re establish this culture. The
Speaker 1: guys that you talk about are tough, hard working and
Speaker 1: competitive and you always want to take chances on those guys.
Speaker 1: And so as Doug Marone and Dave carle Will are
Speaker 1: rebuilding this team, they want to get like minded, blue
Speaker 1: collar dudes who really embrace the team concept and want
Speaker 1: to do it the right way. It may not show
Speaker 1: up immediately and the win lost column, but eventually they
Speaker 1: will rebuild it, repaired, and they'll get back to where
Speaker 1: Jacksonville was a few years ago. All right, John, I
Speaker 1: know you've got to run early Sunday. What do you
Speaker 1: have coming up in the next few days on Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot Com. Hey, yeah, JP, we're on the field six
Speaker 1: days in or ow. I'm just trying to get through it,
Speaker 1: and uh, it will be covering the video conferences and
Speaker 1: after the next six days it will be a lot
Speaker 1: of what's going on on the field, what people are saying.
Speaker 1: I was going on the field to me. These next
Speaker 1: six days and a few practices after that. This is
Speaker 1: training camp. This is the key, and I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna find out a lot about how Doug Moron and
Speaker 1: some of the leaders feel about this team. Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: The next few days are critical. And then that's not
Speaker 1: just here. Bucky gets around the National Football League and
Speaker 1: excited to see what happens in the next week or so.
Speaker 1: John will catch you again next week, Bucky, stay right there.
Speaker 1: We'll be back. We'll go around the National Football League
Speaker 1: when we return. Florida Blue is here to help you

Speaker 1: job with the miked up segments. J P. Shadrick, Bucky
Speaker 1: Brooks Jaguars Happy Hour continues. Bucky is great to have
Speaker 1: you John Osier a little earlier today. We'll be back
Speaker 1: with him, uh next week. Of course, let's touch before
Speaker 1: we go around the league. I'm interested in like a
Speaker 1: scouts perspective on all this college football news. You know,
Speaker 1: the Big Ten and Pact twelve of postponed the season,
Speaker 1: SEC Big twelve and the A C C are still scheduled,
Speaker 1: but now schools are starting to send kids away again,
Speaker 1: and now Ohio States talking about putting their own schedule together.
Speaker 1: What in the world does that do, not only for
Speaker 1: scouting staff trying to look at players, but players who
Speaker 1: might have to decide to opt out and go to
Speaker 1: the draft and or or play the spring. That's it's
Speaker 1: a lot of decisions to be made, a lot of
Speaker 1: decisions to be made. Jp first for the players. The
Speaker 1: players that are most effective right now by the college
Speaker 1: situation will be not the top guys, but the guys
Speaker 1: they were developmental types. Just so we understand, the last
Speaker 1: three number one picks when they entered the season, they
Speaker 1: weren't viewed as first rounders, and so they worked their
Speaker 1: way into the conversation not only as first rounders, but
Speaker 1: as guys they were at the top of the charts,
Speaker 1: so we won't do that luxury this year. From a
Speaker 1: scouting standpoint, it makes it very very difficult if you're
Speaker 1: a Dave cold Will and you have kind of stockpiled
Speaker 1: these uh draft hicks so that you can rebuild your
Speaker 1: team with these guys. Now there's more uncertainty about the
Speaker 1: readiness of the players that will be in the one class.
Speaker 1: So how hard do you go in on those guys
Speaker 1: when you may not have been able to see them
Speaker 1: play for twelve to eighteen months. It makes it very
Speaker 1: very tricky for team builders when it comes to the
Speaker 1: one draft and how do you build your team with
Speaker 1: those guys in mind? Nick Saban the other day, head
Speaker 1: coach at Alabama, you might have heard of him. Uh,
Speaker 1: He said that if these conferences moved to a one
Speaker 1: spring season, that it could be a j V field.
Speaker 1: Juniors and seniors might say, you know what's Sionara, I'm
Speaker 1: not playing two seasons. I'm getting out of here. Uh.
Speaker 1: That's gotta be tough to play a spring schedule. I mean,
Speaker 1: especially if players are sticking around and having to se
Speaker 1: reasons in one calendar year. That's a huge ask. I
Speaker 1: mean it's a huge ask. But I think it can
Speaker 1: certainly be done. Now the key will be can college
Speaker 1: coaches find a way to come up with practice schedules
Speaker 1: that take care of the players. But if you have
Speaker 1: seen the change that has happened in the National Football
Speaker 1: League when it comes to practice, you don't see as
Speaker 1: many padded practices. You don't see a lot of live tackling.
Speaker 1: It's more about the sports science and getting your guys
Speaker 1: ready to play. If you took that approach with college,
Speaker 1: you certainly can do it. It would take some alterations
Speaker 1: when it came to the schedule. When does this spring
Speaker 1: schedule start, when does it in? More importantly, when does
Speaker 1: the fall portion of the schedule start, and when does
Speaker 1: it in? It is not ideal, but it certainly is doable.
Speaker 1: Something to watch for sure, And I think we're well
Speaker 1: over a month until the SEC is scheduled to begin.
Speaker 1: They just put out the schedule the other day, so
Speaker 1: a little time, and as we know these days, a
Speaker 1: lot can happen in a short amount of time, not
Speaker 1: only in sports, but around just life in general. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the National Football League, shall we, and start
Speaker 1: off with Joe Judge of the New York Giants making
Speaker 1: players run in response to mistakes at practice. Kim Jones
Speaker 1: was on the Zoom Call and Judge this week and
Speaker 1: tweeted about the the situation there, and you responded as
Speaker 1: well on Twitter that you know it's uh, you know this,
Speaker 1: here's the tweet right here, being tough ball coaching players. Um,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna sing Kumbaya together and think we're going
Speaker 1: to advance. Well, you've responded to this that he better
Speaker 1: be real about this or they're gonna stiff it out
Speaker 1: pretty quick. Yeah. I mean, look, I played for one
Speaker 1: of the toughest coaches that you can find in Coach Coffin,
Speaker 1: and I think the thing that you have to be
Speaker 1: mindful of is when you take this approach, you have
Speaker 1: to give real investment from the players, and that investment
Speaker 1: calls from the results. Players will tolerate and deal and
Speaker 1: handle the demanding nature of your coaching style if it
Speaker 1: leads to results. However, if you're demeaning players and you
Speaker 1: don't get the results, your players will bail quickly. So
Speaker 1: Joe Judge just needs to make sure that he is
Speaker 1: being himself, that this isn't an act. He's not trying
Speaker 1: to imitate Bill Belichick. But these are his core values
Speaker 1: and the things that he believes in in terms of
Speaker 1: what helps a team win games. I would like to
Speaker 1: think that when you played for Tom Coughlin that it
Speaker 1: was not an act. It was that accurate. Uh, It
Speaker 1: definitely was not an act, and it was challenging in
Speaker 1: terms of growing accustomed to it. But the results were
Speaker 1: what The results were. Won a lot of games during
Speaker 1: that period. But it is hard to sustain it if
Speaker 1: the connectivity is not right between the coaching staff and
Speaker 1: the players. I'm not saying you have to be friendly,
Speaker 1: but there has to be some communication and some effective relationships.
Speaker 1: Let's continue, we go out to the desert DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: and camp for the Cardinals, but he's not participating in
Speaker 1: padded practices. You know. On Pro Football Talk today, Mike
Speaker 1: Florio brought up the idea that this might be a
Speaker 1: situation where he's kind of holding off to the side
Speaker 1: until a deal gets done. Do you think that's the
Speaker 1: case and does he get a number close to Julio
Speaker 1: Jones if he gets the news. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: he would like to get a deal. I know there
Speaker 1: was a point of contention while he was in Houston,
Speaker 1: but man I don't know if you can fork over
Speaker 1: that kind of money. Um, right now, you haven't even
Speaker 1: seen him in your system. Uh. The Julio Jones money
Speaker 1: is extraordinary. I just don't know. Look, DeAndre Hopkins is
Speaker 1: certainly in that conversation. Man. To give a wide receiver
Speaker 1: that much money, I don't know, but I certainly understand
Speaker 1: it because you want to put it around. You want
Speaker 1: to put in a level player around Cala Murray. So
Speaker 1: I expect the cordiners to eventually pony up when they
Speaker 1: have to. It's gonna say. I mean, he is one
Speaker 1: of if you your name and receivers right now, he's
Speaker 1: in the top two three right here. Yeah, Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: m Julio Jones, whatever flavor ice cream you like, that's
Speaker 1: who you're going to go with. Man, big money, big money.
Speaker 1: You have to call up in the desert to keep him.
Speaker 1: Start running some sprints here soon. Um, let's move to
Speaker 1: New England, where Cam Newton, Brian Hoyer, and Jared Steadham
Speaker 1: are reportedly splitting reps at Patriots camp. Belichick is not
Speaker 1: named the starter publicly yet. This has to be Cam's gig, right,
Speaker 1: that's not They didn't bring him there. For nothing. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would think so. Cam is far more talented than
Speaker 1: either candidate. We've seen Brian whore you play. It doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily excite you. Jared Stidham was a fourth round pick.
Speaker 1: We don't know what it can be, but I will
Speaker 1: say this, Kim was a number one pick. He was
Speaker 1: an m v P. Unless he just absolutely stinks up
Speaker 1: the joint, I would expect him to be the starting
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Patriots. Are you concerned about his health
Speaker 1: at all? Yes, naturally you have to be concerned about
Speaker 1: it because the last two seasons we've seen him go out. However,
Speaker 1: if he he's healthy, he gives the pages an opportunity
Speaker 1: to do some stuff that they haven't been able to
Speaker 1: do for years. And with Bill Belichick seeing Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes, these mobile playmakers had his success,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's tempted to put in some packages for
Speaker 1: Cam Newton to allow him to create the kind of
Speaker 1: headaches for others. Yeah, he can certainly create headaches. There's
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Then. Our final thought today around
Speaker 1: the National Football League, Drew Pearson and Tom Flores selected
Speaker 1: as finalist for the Hall of Fame class of one.
Speaker 1: Pearson selected as the senior finalist for his the senior
Speaker 1: finalists from the coaching ranks. Pierson, of course at three
Speaker 1: time All Pro and All Decade team member in the
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies Super Bowl twelve champion with the Dallas Cowboys, UM.
Speaker 1: And then of course Flora has played quarterback for the
Speaker 1: Raiders in nineteen sixty. He was their first quarterback and
Speaker 1: ended up coaching them the second winning is coaching Raiders
Speaker 1: history behind John Madden. Congratulations to those guys, UM. You know,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Pierson had a great career, But for me,
Speaker 1: the standout moment, and at least, you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: little younger, was his troll job on the Philly fans
Speaker 1: at the draft that year from the stage. That was incredible.
Speaker 1: I mean, does go jacket worthy in itself, the way
Speaker 1: that he trolled them at their draft party. Yes, he
Speaker 1: deserves to be in the consideration and in the Hall,
Speaker 1: and I think this is great that he's finally made
Speaker 1: it past the barrier. He's one step closer to getting in.
Speaker 1: And then Tom Flory's certainly deserves to be in the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. You talk about his record his second
Speaker 1: highest playoff winning percentage behind Vince Lombardi. Nobody talks about that.
Speaker 1: You think about a two time Super Bowl winner with
Speaker 1: that kind of winner forcentage, you would like to think
Speaker 1: that he gets in. All right. There'll be eighteen finalists
Speaker 1: on Super Bowl weekend, including Pearson Flores a senior contributor
Speaker 1: to be named a little bit later, and then fifteen
Speaker 1: modern era finalists. Let's see if we get Baseli in
Speaker 1: there this year to the vote needed. As we all
Speaker 1: know by now, um, Hey, what do you think, Bucky?
Speaker 1: First show? First show man? I loved it. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: I promise I'll be better next time. I have a
Speaker 1: little more chemistry and flow. But I loved it. It It
Speaker 1: was great, all right, first time out. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot of these to go and we look forward to
Speaker 1: them all. We appreciate your time as always there thanks
Speaker 1: to John Oser, our entire crew for putting these together.
Speaker 1: For everyone involved. I'm JP Shadrick and we'll catch you
Speaker 1: next time. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network.
