1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to James Drivetime with John Osier, Hers and Brian

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Sexty Sexton Jangs Drive Time. It starts right now. Good morning,

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: and welcome to Jags Drivetime. We'll call it the Owners

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Meetings Edition as I am here in Jacksonville at TIAA

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: bank Field and John Osier is in Arizona. You know,

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: the meetings are generally at the builtmore out there, but

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: something tells me John's at the fair field end down

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: the road. We have got a jam pack show, lots

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: of things to talk about today. So without further ado,

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: let's bring in the senior writer from Jaguars dot Com.

11
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Oh okay, we're not going to do that yet. We're

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: gonna go big things right out of the gate, and

13
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: we'll start with big Thing number one. Year two. It's

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: a pretty big deal. And Doug said yesterday that he

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: was looking forward to the second year of the program

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: that he got started last year. It's been a while

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: since we've had a coach in year two to see

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: the continuity. He is anticipating a lot of very positive

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: and productive storylines coming from year two and we can

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: show them now on tape this spring. Those those issues

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: and that's where we get that's where we get better,

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: and that's where we take another step. It's just the

23
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: details of what we're doing in all three phases. And

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's why this offseason will be exciting to

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: get the guys back. Off season program begins April seventeenth.

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: All right, Big thing two no surprise here, Trevor Lawrence

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: in year two with Doug, and Doug was effusive in

28
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: his praise yesterday when he met with the media at

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: the owner's meetings. I truly believe that he there's so

30
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: much more for him and and and he's he wants that,

31
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, and he's willing to He's willing to do

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: what it takes to to work. And and uh, that's

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: what you want um as the leader of your football team,

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: right and that that rubs off on the rest of

35
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: your team. And Big thing three is improvement. And I

36
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: touched on this last week. If you saw a happy

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: hour with Jeff Logham an improvement is more than just

38
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: adding players to the roster, though they'll do that when

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: the draft comes up later in April. They didn't get

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: a lot of that done in free agency for the

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: obvious reason. There's not a lot of money, but there

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: is plenty of room to get better. And the coach

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: touched on that issue yesterday. We're not necessarily installing the

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: offense again or the defense again, right, it's now, it's

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: just how we make it better and how we use

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: our players better um in certain situations. And so now

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: we bring in the senior writer, John Ozier, who joins

48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: us from where the fair field in just outside the airport?

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Is that where you're staying, John, And it is super

50
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. I bet it is.

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: You have to take a bus in a new brilliant

52
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: over to the owners meetings or they actually let you

53
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: in the good place to be. Yeah, I'm glad. No,

54
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: it's more remote. I love Rocks and hope they let

55
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: me in. So it's good. It's a living Let's start

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: with Doug yesterday, and obviously at the coach's breakfast, coaches

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: are relaxed. It's a different scene than we see when

58
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Doug stands in front of the media at the at

59
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: the podium or on the practice field after a day

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: of training camp. And he was I thought, very candid

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: when he talked about the approach that this team has

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: this offseason. Yeah, you had to be quick. I mean

63
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: they shortened this thing up. It used to be an

64
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: hour and now it's a half an hour. So we

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: were trying Demetrius Harvey from the Times Union and I

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: were trying to get Jaguars related questions in sort of

67
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: around a lot of national people, and that Doug does

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: attract a national audience, which is kind of cool. But

69
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: I was really trying to get with Doug on getting

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: an idea at the combine. We talked to our draft

71
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: with him and free agency of what maybe to expect

72
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: with that not really being very busy this year, I

73
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: wanted yesterday to try to get an idea for what

74
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: he had seen in the film work that I know

75
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: they've done ever since they got back from you know,

76
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks off after Kansas City. I wanted

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: to get a feel for, Hey, you've dug down into

78
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: this offense. Now you talked for a year about how

79
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: you thought there'd be a second year jump. What are

80
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: you really doing to see that? And the thing really

81
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: struck me and I asked him about it. He sort

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: of gave a quick answer on Trevor and he was

83
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: almost trying to hide a smile and I said, you're smiling,

84
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: we think about this, you're excited about this, and you

85
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: know that's when he kind of relaxed and gave the

86
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: answer that we saw on big things. I think he

87
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: saw in tape. I think him and Press Taylor and

88
00:04:53,800 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: the offensive coaches saw a kid who improved dramatically, had

89
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: major stretches where he was really good. We saw it

90
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: against against Los Angeles the second half Dallas at times

91
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: where he was lights out and putting up points any

92
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: quarterback could do. I think they see where they can

93
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: take away certain things that he wasn't doing quite a

94
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: way of I think they just see where they're going

95
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: to streamline this thing, and I think they think he's

96
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: going to exploit. I don't think they really want to

97
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: talk about it and get giddy, but I think there's

98
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: a feeling there that this thing's gonna jump well and John.

99
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: It's easy to look at the roster and see where

100
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: other guys will improve dramatically when the quarterback does. Here's

101
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: one example that people might not relate to the quarterback.

102
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: But you got a cornerback like Tyson Campbell, right, he's

103
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: a young guy going into his third year. He's an

104
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: ascending player, someone you want to be able to count on.

105
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: What if he's playing with the league, which he rarely

106
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: did in his first season and last year, you know

107
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: they were close games. What if there is a pass

108
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: rush from Trayvon Walker and Josh Allen because they can

109
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: tape their ears back and get after him because they're

110
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: leading by fourteen points. How much better does that make

111
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell right when you look at the whole roster,

112
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: he's the lynchpin that gets it all rolling. Yeah, I

113
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: think we saw that a little bit. And it's a

114
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: little hard to really discern the stats because you know,

115
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: stats can be twisted any which way. But the offense

116
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: got better late last season if you remember it, you know,

117
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: Doug talked about it. The second half of the season,

118
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence got better. Fifteen or fourteen touchdowns, one interception,

119
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: whatever that number was, it was much better than the

120
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: first half. The defense in the second half the season

121
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: after Detroit, they gave up three four hundred yard games

122
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: in a row that ended with Detroit, and the five

123
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: games after that they never gave it four hundred yards.

124
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: Their turnovers forced went way up in that last five

125
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: games as opposed to the previous eight. You've got to

126
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: think a lot of that had to do with playing

127
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: with more leads, playing in situations where you know the

128
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: other team's got to pass. I agree with you, Brian.

129
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: And one thing Doug said yesterday I asked him about

130
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: the defense later on in the conversation, they said, we

131
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: got to get better pass rush. Yeah, but he didn't

132
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: say if that would happen once you get a lead,

133
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: because I don't think he wants to give the defensive players, oh, well,

134
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: we get a lead, we're gonna get the passer. But

135
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: NFL people know if if you're facing third and eight,

136
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: that's much easier to get a sack than if you're trailing.

137
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, then if you're trailing by seven and facing

138
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: third and two, you know, and they were they get leads,

139
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: they're going to get better pass rush. And there were

140
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: two players that he talked about, and you know what

141
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: they at length he talked about, so let's start with

142
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker since we're on the defensive side, and he

143
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: talked about what he liked from Trayvon last year and

144
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: what he needed to see from Trayvon. He mixed a

145
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: little bit of Josh Allen in there, but I thought

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: when he was talking about the past rushing improving, he

147
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: was leaning heavily into last year's number one overall pick,

148
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: taking a big jump forward, maybe John even Trevor Lawrence

149
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: kind of jump sometime in this year where he gets

150
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: it where the light goes on and all of a

151
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: sudden he's playing to his potential. Yeah, And he went

152
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: a couple of different directions there. The big thing, I

153
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: keep getting questions about Treyvon what he's doing to improve.

154
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: So I asked Doug about that, hoping you get into

155
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: it a little bit. I think the big thing he

156
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: said was, look, players get better in year two, not

157
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: necessarily because they're working on a certain move on the

158
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: practice field out at their individual camp in Colorado. You

159
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean, everybody sort of wants that they

160
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: get better because they don't have just a grind of

161
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: an offseason going into the draft. They get better because

162
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they know how to study a

163
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: little better. They you know, a lot of these guys

164
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: come in from college and they've been better than their

165
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: opponent for years. They haven't had to study the offensive

166
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: tackle across from him. So most rookies get better learning

167
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: how to study, learning how to take what they see

168
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: on tape and putting it into use in a game.

169
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Knowing how to approach different offensive tackles if you're Trayvon,

170
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: So he talked more about that as a concept. I

171
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: think he, you know, with Trayvon's will, with his work ethic,

172
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: with his frame, obviously he's got everything. I think they

173
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: think he'll take a jump for that reason. But I

174
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: do think that obviously we've talked about it, Brian, this

175
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: team needs those second year guys to be impactful on defense.

176
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: Doug certainly believes that has app now on the other

177
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: side of the ball. He mentioned briefly Etn being one

178
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: of those second year guys. Even though it'll be his

179
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: third NFL season, it'll be his second year. He expects

180
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: him to take a big jump. But the conversation went

181
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: to Calvin Ridley and what the coach had seen watching

182
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: tape and where his thoughts were on how the guy

183
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: they traded for last October might become someone they really

184
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: can count on, you know, this October and November as

185
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: they make another playoff run. Yeah to your first point

186
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: at ETN very quickly, Doug said it at the combine,

187
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: and he's sort of hinted at it yesterday and then

188
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: got off on another topic. I think he believes the

189
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: running game is gonna be a lot better, not that

190
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't good last year, not that anybody did anything wrong.

191
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: He just believes there's some continuity stuff there too. With

192
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: Travis learning to hit holes in the NFL, there's a

193
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: learning curve there. With second year of running backs. It's

194
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: not talked about as much as quarterbacks. I think he

195
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: thinks overall there's gonna be more continuity and better out

196
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: of the running game with all running backs. Yes, he

197
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: got into Ridley a little bit. I thought it was interesting.

198
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: This was the first time they've really wanted to talk

199
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: about Ridley because he hadn't cleared suspension yet before. And

200
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: he he didn't go all in. He didn't talk about him. Hey,

201
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be the one. He's gonna change the offense.

202
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: But they definitely believe that this guy is going to

203
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: fit what they do, help everybody and raise everybody else.

204
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, if this kid's what he is, meaning a

205
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: number one receiver, all of a sudden, there's a lot

206
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: of pieces in place offensively, and you know, Doug didn't

207
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: go into that kind of detail on it. You gotta

208
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: hear a new voice. They're excited about what they've seen

209
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: from them, and they think that what he does well

210
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: fits what they do well. Yeah, I think that much

211
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: was clear listening to him, And you know he touched

212
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: a little bit on Evan Ingram and Christian Kirkins A

213
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Jones and how this guy gives them one more weapon,

214
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: but it's one more chess piece to try to create

215
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: the sort of mismatches and the sort of matchups that

216
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: they were looking for last year but couldn't always get there.

217
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: And when you combine that with Trevor Lawrence taking a

218
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: big step forward a defense that might be able to

219
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: give you some turnovers in field position. Look, John, I

220
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: mean you know it as well as I do. Doug

221
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: Peterson from the moment he got here was calm and confident, right.

222
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: He knew that he knew what it took to get

223
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: this team up off the mat, and by the end

224
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: of the year he had done that. I gotta imagine

225
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: that you felt that confidence yesterday sitting next to him

226
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: as he talked about where he expected this team to

227
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: go this year. Yeah, I don't want to put words

228
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: in his mouth because he's you know, doesn't need me

229
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: to do that. It seemed to be Brian this we

230
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: we listened to him all last year and whenever he

231
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: was asked about it, he talked about the offense was

232
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: going to be better in its second year than it

233
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: was in its first. Center he just believes that he

234
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: knows what continuity means. So then last year they sort of,

235
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, they got very hot at the end, it

236
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: turned into its own story. Twenty twenty three was no

237
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: longer what they were talking about. They wanted to go

238
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: win it when they could then, so that kind of

239
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: got back Bernard a little bit, and I'm not sure

240
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: Doug thought about it as much. And then it seems

241
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: like you take a couple of weeks you decompressed from

242
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 1: Kansas City. If it was that long, I don't know

243
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: what it was. But all of a sudden you turn

244
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: the page to twenty twenty three and you just get

245
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: the feeling that now they've gone back, they've looked at

246
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: what they were last season and maybe even looked around

247
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: the team meetings, going, hey, we still got a second

248
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: year jump coming, you know, and as good as they

249
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 1: were getting at the end of last year, if you

250
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,599
Speaker 1: push that forward and you get rid of some of

251
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: the inconsistency and start, you know, add Calvin Ridley to it.

252
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: It seemed to me that maybe the coaches are looking

253
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: at it now and deep inside and not want to

254
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: talk about it too much. They're feeling the excitement on

255
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: film that everybody else is sort of feeling on Twitter

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: and on social media. I know you love Twitter, Bryan,

257
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: so I think they're feeling the same sort of thing

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: that the fans are starting to feel. And it's real.

259
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: So that was sort of my gut listening to Doug.

260
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that's way off. Maybe you're depressed. You're the only

261
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: guy I follow on Twitter, John, you give me everything

262
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: I need. I'm a good follow. Yeah, yeah, I would

263
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: say that you are all right. We're gonna take a

264
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: break when we come back on JAG's Drivetime, we'll take

265
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: a look at some of the other issues around the

266
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: National Football League that John is covering from Arizona and

267
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: get his thoughts and maybe a preview of his conversation

268
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: later today with Jaguar's owner Shot con All that and

269
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: more straight ahead on Jack's Right Time. You know, obviously,

270
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: different team, different different circumstances, all that but different coach

271
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: from the standpoint I think of, you know, just just

272
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: relating to the players a little bit more. I had

273
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: great relationships with the guys in Philly, but I think

274
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: just understanding the roster, being more involved with the roster

275
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, and just kind of understanding the different dynamics,

276
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, for me, understanding better the team, the roster,

277
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: the makeup, the chemistry, and that I think is one

278
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: of the differences that I saw, you know, along with

279
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: having fun with the guys you know every day. That's

280
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: head coach Peterson from yesterday's AFC Coaches Breakfast. Bryant Sexton

281
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: back with you here on Jack's Drive Time from TIAA

282
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: bank Field and Jacksonville. John Ozier joins us from the

283
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: Built Moore in Arizona. John had struck me was he

284
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: was asked questions by some Philadelphia reporters, you know, about

285
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: players in situations in Philly when he was there. You know,

286
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: he was also asked questions about quarterback development and about

287
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: his year out of football Spice. I think Ryal Holleran

288
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: was the guy who asked him that about Sean Payton

289
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: coming back in Denver, so it was a fair question

290
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: so how are you different? You know what's different about

291
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in Jacksonville than Doug Peterson in Philly? And

292
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: I didn't cover him in Philly, but I would say

293
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: he seems relaxed and confident. Yeah, I can't imagine that

294
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't relaxing confident there. But you know, you come in.

295
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: I've got to think he's in a good place right now.

296
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: You you come in, you got to do per Bowl rings.

297
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: So he knows what that looks like. He said all

298
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: year that they thought the team was you know, early

299
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: he thought the team was good. It proved itself to

300
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: be good. He believes there's gonna be a second year jump,

301
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: so he thinks they're going to be better. He has

302
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: that frame of reference in Philly where they went and

303
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: won the super Bowl in the second year, whether or

304
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: not making the playoffs. I don't think that means that

305
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: he's you know, already fitting himself a ring. But I

306
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: think he expects this to be a good year where

307
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: he sees, you know, and a fun year, you know, improvements,

308
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: fun watching players reach their potential as fun. I think

309
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: he thinks he's going to see that out of this

310
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: offense and I'm sure again I didn't know Doug news

311
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: in Philly. I don't pretend to know him, you know,

312
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: on any sort of a level past covering him now.

313
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: But I'm sure you know, a year away from the

314
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: game some perspective there. It wasn't easy to be dismissed

315
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: in Philly as he has. So I'm sure there's a

316
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a perspective that comes when you age

317
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: as a human being and you know, and as a

318
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: person and experience. I've gotta think he's in a really

319
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: good place. And I think you saw that reflected in

320
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: Jacksonville last year. Money where the mouth is, so to speak.

321
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: You know, you say you don't panic, you say you're

322
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: a level headed guy. He showed it after October last year.

323
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: You know, I've got to think this is a good

324
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: time to be Doug Peters. All right, So let's touch

325
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: on a couple of things. First of all, the Jaguars,

326
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: as it had been reported last week, yesterday they announced

327
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: the signing of two backup defensive tackles, Michael Dogby, who

328
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: was right there in Arizona with the Cardinals for a

329
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: number of years, and Henry Mondeau, who's bounced around with

330
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: a couple of different teams. Most recently he was with

331
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. That's the kind of solid signings

332
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: you hope they're solid signings. They both look like they

333
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: are that you need to have when you've got a

334
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: quarterback you're about to pay. Yeah, you need guys who

335
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: all three of their recent signings they're running back from

336
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: believing Dernis Johnson sort of the same deal. Fifth year

337
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. When you put on the tape you

338
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: have you know, none of these guys have missed a

339
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: whole lot of time, so they've got four years to

340
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: look at and see what they are. I think Trent

341
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: Balky looked at these guys and said, hey, we know

342
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: exactly what's walking in the building. We don't have to guess.

343
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: They're not projects, they're not developments. They're plug and play guys.

344
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: Two of them on one year deal. I think they're

345
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: all on one year deals. So they're that thing that

346
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: makes sense. You know, they're veterans who know the league.

347
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: They're sort of younger versions of Adam Gotsis maybe ye

348
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: who came in and not two or three years ago.

349
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, we don't talk much about Adam, but every

350
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: couple of games is making a play where you go, oh,

351
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: Adam Gotsis, So I think these are sort of that

352
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: kind of guy. And as you say, you have to

353
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: have that in the NFL. It can't just be the

354
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: eighteen guys that you talk about first wave. You have

355
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: to have good players as you're you know, second nine

356
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: to ten, Ruth if you will all right guys in

357
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: the defensive one. The Competition Committee meets at the Combine

358
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: in Indian late February early March. Then they present their

359
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: recommendations on proposed rule changes to the owners here at

360
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: this meeting. And so there are a couple of things.

361
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm just curious if you've heard anything about the rugby

362
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: style play which Philadelphia they converted that short yardage play

363
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts being pushed from behind thirty seven times

364
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: in forty one attempts, so a lot of success there.

365
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: There's a talk about replay for roughing penalties, which introduces

366
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different variables that none of which seemed

367
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: to be like it would help the situation. And then

368
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: finally what they're calling the brock Purty rule, which is

369
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback on the roster because brock Purty was injured.

370
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: They were down to their third which is like their

371
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: fifth this year in San Francisco in that playoff game

372
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: in Philly. Be hearing anything at all about the prospects

373
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: of any of these being a a new point of

374
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: emphasis your rule in twenty twenty three, I haven't heard

375
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: much beyond and heard of the combine, which that um

376
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: the rug yourself from. It seems like people want to

377
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: figure out a way to not have that be a thing,

378
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily because it's anti Philadelphia. I mean, I think

379
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: thank people giving credit for figuring it out and making

380
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: it work, but the injury potential there and the potential

381
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: for it just not to look like football is pretty high.

382
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: So the feeling, the only vibe I've gotten, is that

383
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: they're they want to try to figure out a way

384
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: to make that not what it was. And again it's

385
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: not because it was it was too easy. Credit to

386
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: him for doing it, but when you have they try

387
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: to get you know, this, huge bodies not colliding as

388
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: much in a game where that's always there quarterback in

389
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: the middle of that pile. Was that you got that

390
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in the middle of that your quarterback? I mean, yeah,

391
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: that's you're a guy and he's in the middle of

392
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: all those human beings. There's a potential for serious injury

393
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: there too. Yeah, so I don't think that'll be around long.

394
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't have a feel for whether it'll be outlawed

395
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days or not, but I

396
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: think gradually, well, we won't see that the brock Prity rule,

397
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: you know. I think teams generally speaking, there was a

398
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: little bit of an outrage after that because oh, they

399
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't have that rule. Well, there's a rule to prevent

400
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: that you can carry three quarterbacks. So I'm not sure

401
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: there was a whole lot of sympathy with then. A

402
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: lot of people are in the league for the forty

403
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: nine ers because everybody knows that you're able to you

404
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: can carry three if you want, that's up to you.

405
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: So I never got a sense for that. And you know,

406
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: the only people I've talked to about the roughing thing

407
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: fans want to see more things reviewed because they think

408
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: it'll help the roughing penalty. To me, if they review roughing,

409
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be the same thing is interference, where

410
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: the competition committee goes, okay, you wann't reviewed, go review

411
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: it this year. It'll be a disaster. It'll be a fiasco,

412
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: just like interference. It won't help anything, and I'll take

413
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: it out the next year. I don't think they'll review

414
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: roughing because it's your thing, Brian, and my blood starts

415
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: to boil because it's a pet peeve of mine. More

416
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: replayed things. When their judgment don't change the final outcome,

417
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: it just causes more more controversy. It's one more person

418
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: to make a decision, and it's still their opinion on

419
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: what they saw. All right, A couple more names to

420
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: throw at you. And again, you're not covering these stories,

421
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: but you're talking to your your peers out there who

422
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: are covering them. Peers. Okay, I'm sorry to put you

423
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: in that uncomfortable position of having to acknowledge your greatness, John,

424
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. There's been all sorts of

425
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: stories back and forth. There any idea that that maybe

426
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: gets solved, or if people are thinking this thing is

427
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: going to drag out. I think generally we talk about

428
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers with other media people, it's sort of a

429
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: deep sigh of at some point it will happen, but

430
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: they're tired and sort of dealing with it. It's like, Okay,

431
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: we've talked this to death. There's not a lot of

432
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: new ground to cover, even if you're hang out talking

433
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: about it over a party. I think there's a feeling

434
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: that'll eventually get done and it'll be on Aaron Rodgers time,

435
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: which who knows when that is. Yeah, well there's not

436
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: a story headline that they made progress yesterday, so we'll

437
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: see up go ahead. No, sure sure that it exactly

438
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: any any scuttle butt on the Lamar Jackson situation. When

439
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: John Harball was in his breakfast yesterday, Lamar tweeted that

440
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: he wanted to be traded. It put the coach in

441
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: that unique situation of having a comment. And of course

442
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: now you've got places, you know, they're looking for a

443
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: quarterback Indiana, in Indianapolis, Atlanta, thinking well, maybe now's the

444
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: time to strike while the iron's hot. Any sense of

445
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: what's going on with Lamar Jackson. Yeah, the only feeling

446
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: that I've talked to you from different people is you know,

447
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: he's sort of been on the trade ball. Yes, he

448
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: tweeted it out. Yes it was a crafty mood to

449
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: put Harbor on the spot, but he's sort of been

450
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: available for a long time. So did it change very

451
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: Was it good to get in the Twitter verse for

452
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: a day and get that out there that he's unhappy

453
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: wants to leave? Maybe, but it doesn't change that much.

454
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's known he's available to be pursued for what two

455
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: or three weeks now, So it doesn't really change that

456
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: much in reality. Maybe it changes some perception, and you know,

457
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: sometimes that gets things moving, But I think the general

458
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: feelings is that you just don't know much beyond what

459
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: you knew yesterday morning. All right, and before we let

460
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: you go, how about a thought on your your upcoming

461
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: conversation this afternoon with Jaguar's owners shot con Where are

462
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: you going without? Yeah, it's it's it's an interesting off season.

463
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: You know, when things are quiet, like when teams are winning,

464
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: you don't get that much from the head coach in

465
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: the offseason because there's not a whole lot of movement

466
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: going on, right So, you know, I think for people

467
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: watching it, the news from Doug Peterson probably felt a

468
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: little bit like the news from the combine with Doug Peterson,

469
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: because you know, they're not making a lot of moves.

470
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: They're trying to get better internally. That doesn't cause for

471
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: great headlines. I think Shod's sort of the same way. Frankly,

472
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: you know, the stadium thing is probably a few years away.

473
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: It's a good team right now. He kept the coach,

474
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: he kept the you know, the GM obviously do. There's

475
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: no change there. So my main thought with him is

476
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: gonna be, Hey, you're an owner now who's been through

477
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: a lot as an owner, had a lot of rough seasons.

478
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: What's it like being out here when you're a successful

479
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: owner or you enjoying that a little bit? Talking to

480
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: him a little about the Miller Electric Center, I'll talk

481
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: to him about Balky, and I'll talk to him about Peterson,

482
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: sort of where he sees it going. I don't anticipate

483
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: bombshell out of this, but I think fans will be

484
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: interested to see how he feels about the team right now,

485
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: particularly head coach, GM Electric centers, just sort of how

486
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: he feels about things going forward, all right, And you

487
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: might tell him you have no peers. You might just

488
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: let me know that he's sitting down with you know,

489
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: an all time great. Well, he'll see it the right way,

490
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: which is I have no peers, because you know I'm

491
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: down here, baby, John Os you're from Arizona. Thanks for

495
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: You know, all season long we talked about a scholar

496
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: athlete program and the Bright Futures program that the Florida

497
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: Lottery is intricately involved with. We'll find out from the

498
00:26:47,280 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: Lottery's perspective how it all went. Welcome back to Jags

499
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: Drive Time here at TIAA bank Field, and joining us

500

Speaker 1: from Tallahassee now is the Secretary of the Florida Lottery,

501
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: John Davis, And welcome Secretary Davis to the Jaguars Drivetime. Well,

502
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: thank you, and I appreciate having the opportunity to talk

503
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: about the Florida Lotteries education initiative and what we're trying

504
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: to accomplish here. Well, we've been talking about it all

505
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: season long through the stories of individual student athletes here

506
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: in North Florida. But just give me a sense there's

507
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways that you get the word

508
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: out about the Florida Lottery. What made sense to you

509
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: about partnering with an NFL team. Well, first, let me

510
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: say how proud we are to be able to partner

511
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars and to support such a phenomenal team

512
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: and organization. And here at the Lottery, our focus is

513
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: to be able to bring awareness to our mission of

514
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: enhance and education as well as to the Bright Future

515
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: Scholarship program and the opportunities it provides to all students

516
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: across the state of Florida. And to be able to

517
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: partner with the dag you are and as well as others,

518
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: really creates that opportunity in them and the bandwidth that

519
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: you all have to be able to be able to

520
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: get the message out. And you know, as the father

521
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: of two high school students in one college student, I

522
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: am fully aware of Bright Futures, but I don't know

523
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: that a lot of people understand the link, the correlation

524
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: between the Bright Futures and the Florida Lottery. Can you

525
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: expound on that for us? That is correct. The Brightfagies

526
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: Scholarship program was created by the Florida Legislature in nineteen

527
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: ninety seven and it's primarily funded by the Florida Lottery

528
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: and the contributions that we the resources that we bring

529
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: in through our gaming system goes to help fund the

530
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: scholarship and as we all know, it can be life

531
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: changing for so many students. And to date the program

532
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: has been able to help more than nine hundred and

533
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: fifty thousand students across the state pursue their dreams of

534
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: a higher education. And we will continue to work with

535
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: organizations like the Jaguars to be able to help get

536
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: the message out. Well, and you talked about the students,

537
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: and we told the story of five individuals from different

538
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: high schools throughout the course of the year, and I

539
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: know that you told the story of hundreds as you

540
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: went out and about spreading the message of the Florida

541
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: Lottery and Bright Futures. How do these features? How do

542
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: these young people being featured like this, how do they benefit?

543
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: What does it mean to them? It means a lot.

544
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: We have the opportunity, you know, the FARTA Lottery. You know,

545
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: we support a wide range of educational programs that are

546
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: designed to improve the education here in the state, including

547
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: our Through twelve programs, our community colleges or state universities.

548
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: When you begin to think about the constructions of new

549
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: projects for new educational facilities, and of course, the Bright

550
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: Future Scholarship program, and these funds are used to support

551
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: classroom instructions, technology infrastructure improvement, and many other educational initiatives.

552
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: And this funding provides quality EDGY choices for Flaters families

553
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: which are able to help it quip today's youth with

554
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: the skills they need to become tomorrow's league. And I

555
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: know that on April eighteenth, you're hosting an event here

556
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: at the stadium, be inspired by Jags Jobs event, So

557
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about the event and what

558
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: you hope to get from it and what students should

559
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: expect to get from it. Yes, you know, we partner

560
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: with diverse organizations and schools, you know, like the Jaguar Program,

561
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: that share the Lottery's commitment to education, and these partnerships

562
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: provide a platform for the Lottery to be able to

563
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: share our education mission and to be able to bring

564
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: awareness as I mentioned earlier, to the Bright Future Scholarship program.

565
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: But most importantly, you know, we're dedicated to making sure

566
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: that every student in this state, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity,

567
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: or socioeconomic status, knows that a bright, a brighter future

568
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: is possible and attainable. And it's it's incommented upon us

569
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: and to make sure that we identify good partners around

570
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: this state that have the exact same mission and drive

571
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: to do the work that is necessary to position these

572
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: kids as well as to educate and make sure that

573
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: their families as well as other community organizations are aware

574
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: of the opportunities that it discs. So being able to

575
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: partner is something that allows us to just expand that

576
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: net to be able to help these students. Well, I'm

577
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: sure you know, Secretary Davis, Jacksonville is a vibrant, thriving

578
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: new city. To watch all the things that are happening downtown,

579
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: especially is to see the potential of Jacksonville. And we

580
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: enjoy telling the stories of that next generation of young

581
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: people getting the opportunity to go out and achieve their

582
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: goals and their dreams. And we hope to see you

583
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: at a game in Jacksonville this fall. I definitely I'll

584
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: look forward to that and can't wait to football season starts.

00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: excited just to watch the guys be able to turn

588
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,560

592
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to them continuing at work next year

593
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: and displaying it on the field. And I'd also just

594
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: like to say that I'm extremely proud of the work

595
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,480
