1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Jack Warris, did you like Jaguars, did Jaguars Drive Time

00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: right now. Not to overdramatize this whole situation, but I

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: can't imagine a more important time in the history that

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: Jackson Jaguars. You've got the first pick in the draft.

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: You've got an organization and an order that wants to

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: win in the worst way. You tell me again, when

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: in history you'll have that a line like this, I

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: want this team to play so fast, and fast doesn't

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: mean four three four you fast means everything you've got.

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: You know what that music means. It means the Hunts

Speaker 1: can call it with free agencies coming up next week,

19

Speaker 1: co host just for this week, Lonnie Mark's former Jaguars

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: linebacker joined the show. Now, Lonnie, how's it going. His

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: life is good and better all the time. Yes, I

23
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: love it, And Lonnie, you are doing great things in

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville community. So we're gonna talk much more about that.

25
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: But Brian, like I promised, Bregency coming soon and the

26
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: franchise Tide coming up, So we have some news. But

27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: next week we expect to be I guess you can

28
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: say a splash of a program. Well, let's just jump

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: right in then. Speaking of splash, get two big things

30
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: and get Lonnie involved. I do want to say this

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: about Lonnie before you do that. Um. I knew of

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: Lonnie before he came to Jacksonville because of an NFL

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: Films clip. And Lonnie's got a smile on his face

34
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: even though he's not on camera right now, because he

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: knows this clip. And it was opening day and he

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: was with Kansas City and it was Joe Montana's first

37
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: game as the new quarterback of the Chiefs, and so

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: it was a really big deal. And it was opening

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: day in Tampa at the Old Sombrero And there's a

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: great clip of this linebacker from Tulane walking down the

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: ramp to the field and there's a veteran, a World

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: War Two veteran, Lonnie was probably eighty five or ninety

43
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: at that point, and he was holding the flag and

44
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: kind of standing there here. All these players go buy him,

45
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: but Lonnie stops to have a conversation with him. And

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: it's a famous clip and it was so poignant, and

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: I bring it up every time I introduced Lonnie, but

48
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: it explains who he is. He's not just a football player,

49
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: although he was, and he wasn't just a professional there

50
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: to get paid though he was. He was a fan

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: of the game and a fan of his fellow American

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: and when he showed up in action, Bill, I brought

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: that up to him and we've had long conversations about

54
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: it since. Lonnie. Thanks for making time to join the show.

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Thank you for having Thank both of you for having

56
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: this is this is a great deal. I love it.

57
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Of course we were joking. We see him around this

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: dating he's here Ashland on game day a lot. Uh.

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: So you know, let's reintroduce him to the fan base

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: who may not go back to two thousand and have

61
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: some fun this morning. Let's do it. Let's get into

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: big things and Big Thing one is uncertainty. The franchise

63
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: tag deadline ads of now is set for four o'clock

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: this afternoon, and we have yet to hear what the

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars will do if they'll use it on any players,

66
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: possibly this guy Cam Robinson. We saw a lot of

67
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: moves last night, however, around the NFL, for example, Marcus

68
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: may franchise tag with the Jets, Dak Prescott getting that

69
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: huge deal. So stay tuned. Maybe something will happen this

70
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: afternoon for the Jaguars. But right now, that tag deadline

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: four o'clock this afternoon, so time is kicking. Let's go

72
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: big thing too, and that is pressure. Coach urban Meyer

73
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: answered some questions to Jaguars dot Com and he said,

74
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: you're not going to believe this that there was a

75
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: reason he stood this close to Trevor Lawrence on his

76
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: pro day and he said, life is all about how

77
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: you handle pressure safe, say Trevor Lawrence, I think handled

78
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: it pretty well that day. Big Thing three is culture

79
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: fits Free agency next week starting next Wednesday, and you

80
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: have a period before where you can start talking to

81
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: these three agents. So who fits in Jacksonville. Maybe it's

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: a veteran wide receiver Maybe it's a wide receiver who's

83
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: played here before. Maybe it's a wide receiver who is

84
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: fascinated by a rookie quarterback coming to Jacksonville. I'll say this, man,

85
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: this probably was the most uh tuned into the college

86
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: football playoff that I had been, you know, which is

87
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: which is funny. You know, watching somebody young quarterbacks, man,

88
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: and just watching Trevor Lawrences pro day and things like that.

89
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be standing player in this league.

90
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: You know. Also you know guys like justin fields and

91
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, watching those guys play, you know, it definitely

92
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: does open open my mind up personally, you know, to

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, the possibility of different situations. You know. And

94
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: again and I'm a personal I'm not I'm not opposed

95
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: to anything, you know, like I said before, man, and

96
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: I think that everything is on the table. That's as

97
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: you know, was Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson, who there's

98
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: some rubers will become a free agent. Will the Bears

99
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: let him go? Will they tag him? Maybe this afternoon?

100
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: So Lonie, I go to you, free agency coming up

101
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: next week. Who do you see fitting here in Jacksonville.

102
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: They have a lot of needs, but they also have

103
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and and that's a that's what

104
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: I think is the most important thing right now. They

105
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: have a lot of money and they have a lot

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: of needs. So again I think it's whoever, whoever they

107
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: feel like Urban Meyer would like to have in his

108
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: his corral is who they're gonna go and go get.

109
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: And I think it's gonna be a wide receiver, and

110
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: I also think it's gonna be a couple of lineman.

111
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: And again, when you build teams that that win championships,

112
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: which I know they want to do, you're gonna find lineman.

113
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: And it always starts with lineman, offensive lineman, defensive line.

114
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: So um wide receiver and some linement. Lonnie, let me

115
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: jump in because I know you're close with Tony Dungee.

116
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: In fact, you and I did a virtual event with

117
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Tony and Derrek Brooks a few weeks ago for your

118
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: level of playing field foundation, which we're going to talk

119
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: about coming up. And the thing that just resonated with

120
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: me listening to you guys talk is the culture that

121
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee built. Culture is one of those words that

122
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: just gets bandied about, like celebrity and diversity and culture.

123
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: I mean, we hear them all the time, and we

124
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: don't get enough context. So you take me into that

125
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: Buccaneers locker room for a minute and tell me what

126
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: the culture was like. Because Urban Meyer is trying to

127
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: create a very specific, championship caliber culture. What are you

128
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: looking for in any free agent when you write that check, Um,

129
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: you're looking for a guy that's gonna come in and

130
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be uh. You know, we talked about value.

131
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: He adds value and adding value nowadays seems like it's

132
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: only about how you produce on the on the field,

133
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: but value is is much more than that. And in

134
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers locker room, it was about value off the

135
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: field as well as value on the field. Because we

136
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: we would go to each other's houses, we would we

137
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: would hang out with one another. It wasn't just on

138
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: the field and in the office. We would literally hang

139
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: out with one another and get to know each other's families.

140
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: And so when you're playing with the guy and you

141
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: know his family and you know what he's about, you

142
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: know morally and and just his values, you you tend

143
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: to fight a little harder in in the in the

144
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: battle when you're out on the field, And so building

145
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: that is It takes time. Is chemistry, as they say,

146
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: and not everybody's gonna get along, but for the most

147
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: part we we we It was Buccaneers against the world,

148
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: and so that that helped solidify our culture. And I

149
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: bet as a player, right, I mean, you were in

150
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City and then you went to Tampa. You spend

151
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: a little time as a Tennessee Oiler. There weren't many

152
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee Oilers, just two seasons of that group before they

153
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: became the Titans. And then you came here as a player.

154
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: What are you looking for besides the check? And we

155
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: understand it's pro football, it's about the money, but beyond

156
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: the check, what is a player looking for when he

157
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: signs onto a situation like Jacksonville where they're starting over.

158
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: You want to be in a great community. In Jacksonville

159
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: is a great community. And so when I came here,

160
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know how I would be received by the community,

161
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: but I knew I had to play well on the

162
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: field so that I would be able to actually have

163
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: a chance to be in the community. And so uh

164
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: a great community, a great place to raise a family.

165
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: I was a family man, so that that mattered to me.

166
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: And obviously I stayed here because it was a great

167
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: community and I wanted to I wanted to be here.

168
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to grow with this city. And so again

169
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: as I come in, yes it's about the check. Yes,

170
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: I want to I want to play. I want to

171
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: have a great time. I want to have a chance

172
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: to win a championship. But I really want to be

173
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: a part of it. A great community to live in,

174
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: a great community to play in, and a great community

175
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: for free agents to come. And who better than Judy

00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: you're watching the game, yelling at the quarterback to throw

00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: NFL as a whole, as the tag deadline is this

215
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: after ugh noon and free agency starts next week. So

216
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: who better to join the show than NFL columnists for

217
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com and NFL Networks Judy. But he said, Judy,

218
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us this morning. I

219
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: won't lie to you, Judy. I was a little bummed

220
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: out driving to work this morning. I saw your colleagues

221
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: tweeting Rappapore that Leonard Williams was placed on the franchise

222
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: tag and Jaguars fans were looking at him this entire

223
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: offseason too. Maybe come to Jacksonville. But I'm hearing there

224
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: might be a another Giants defensive lineman that is still

225
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: in hope. Yeah, now that they have you know, taken

226
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: care of or at least for the time being. If

227
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: they're going to put the tag on Leonard Williams, I

228
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: think the question is now what becomes of Dalvin Tomlinson,

229
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: Because they would love to keep him too. He is

230
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: a great He's a huge run stuffer, also a great

231
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: team leader guy. They'd love to keep him. The is

232
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: can they afford to keep both of them? They're pretty

233
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: tight up against the cap, as so many teams are.

234
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: Can they afford to keep both of them? And then

235
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: they also need this offseason to find an edge rusher

236
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: um and those, as we know, costs are pretty penny.

237
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: So I think the real question for the Giants is

238
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: that they had to keep Winnard Williams eleven and a

239
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: half sex a career breakout season, But now what becomes

240
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: of of Dalven Tomlinson and how much can they invest

241
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: in the defensive line? Shutey, We just had a clip

242
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: of Alan Robinson on with Chris collins Worth talking about Jacksonville.

243
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: Obviously he was a second round pick here back in

244
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: my question to you, and he was talking about Tebor Lawrence.

245
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: From your perspective, how much does a quarterback a rookie,

246
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: but a quarterback talented like Lawrence is attract free agents

247
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: for Urban Meyer and the Jaguars. Um. I think quite

248
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: a bit, right, I mean, and I think we're actually

249
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: seeing more of that in the end fell You're sort

250
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: of seeing that like NBA effect where players want to

251
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: play with other players. Um. You know, obviously we saw

252
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: it in Tampa Bay when when Brady went there. You

253
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: saw players want to be in Tampa Bay with Brady

254
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: because you knew it was going to give you a chance.

255
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: But I think good players gravitate too. Good good players.

256
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is not gonna just we assume it's not

257
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: just going to be a good player. I mean this,

258
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: we assume is going to be a transcendent quarterback UM

259
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: and a franchise quarterback for a long time in Jacksonville.

260
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: And I do think that helps. Listen, Jacksonville needs pieces, right,

261
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot of pieces. But they also have the ammunition.

262
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: They've got the high draft picks, and they've got a

263
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of money under the salary cap. And if they

264
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: make good decisions, they can be competitive fairly quickly. We've

265
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: seen this in the NFL. If you can make good

266
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: decisions quickly and you get good quarterback play, you can

267
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: turn the ship around. It doesn't have to be a

268
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: long jo was rebuild. You've already got some young talent

269
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville on the roster, so I think, you know,

270
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: there's hope for a fairly quick bounce back. And certainly

271
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: having Trevor Lawrence there, as you know, as the tent

272
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: pole figure um helps you attract other players. Obviously ultimately

273
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: in free agency money talks, but they've got plenty of money, um.

274
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: So I think having Trevor Lawrence there can only enhance

275
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: everything that they're trying to do. And and and he

276
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: is also a culture center, and that may be the

277
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: most important thing they're trying to do right away. Absolutely, Judy,

278
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: I was reading all last week and I saw tweets

279
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: like it's going to be a massacre this week of

280
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: everyone cutting players that are good players. And we're seeing

281
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of that, but I don't think it's

282
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: to that level. Do do you expect that, with this

283
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: salary cap being so jumbled because of COVID and the

284
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: TV deals, that we're going to see that many good

285
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: players become available? Unfortunately, that that's the x actation from

286
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: everybody you talked to in the league. I think the

287
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: reason we haven't seen it yet is because the salary

288
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: cap hasn't been set, so we don't quite know. I mean,

289
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: we have a pretty good idea of where it's going

290
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: to be, we don't know precisely where it's going to be,

291
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: but um, you know, teams are going to be up

292
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: against it. I mean, Jacksonville isn't a very fortunate position

293
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: to have lots of space, but teams are going to

294
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: be very tight, um, and I think you're going to

295
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: see really good, um veteran mid career players get squeezed.

296
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, the rookies are coming in, are still going

297
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: to be on relatively affordable contracts, and obviously superstar players

298
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: who command you. You know, you just saw that Dak

299
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: Prescott deal that got done last night. I mean, those

300
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: players you're keeping, but the middle class of NFL player

301
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: is going to get squeezed. Here. You're gonna see a

302
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: lot of contract restructuring. I think a lot of teams

303
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: asking their their players to move money around to help

304
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: the team out. But yeah, I think unfortunately, you're probably

305
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: going to see a lot of names recognize get cut

306
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: loose shooting. The story that I'm just captivated by is

307
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: the new Orleans Saints, and and the reason I am

308
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: is I remember the Jaguars in two thousand two when

309
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: they were in similar dire caps circumstances with a pretty

310
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: talented roster, and if it hadn't been for the expansion

311
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: Draft in the Houston Texans taking some of those players,

312
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Gary Walker and Tony Basselli off of their schedule, off

313
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: of their ro salary cap, I don't know how they

314
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: would have gotten under the cap. I'm looking at the

315
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: Saints right now. Is there any concern from people you

316
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: talk to about their ability to get under the cap?

317
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean that could be a blood letting if they don't.

318
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: You know, they have had a reputation over the last

319
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: however many years now of they managed to do it right.

320
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean they move a lot of money around. First

321
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: of all, the big the big thing is we're assuming,

322
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: we've all been assuming for months that Drew Brees is

323
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: going to retire. Obviously, that will move a lot of

324
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: money often Presumably you then have a quarterback who is

325
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: playing for a lot less money than Drew Brees was making. Um,

326
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: they have been able, they have been able to do it.

327
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: But when I see his name, the Saints linked for

328
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: instance to you know, yesterday I saw you know, why

329
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: not Russell Wilson there, and I'm like, how how could

330
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: they afford a Russell Wilson? You know, given their cap situation. Again,

331
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: I think they're one of the teams that you're going

332
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: to see go to their players and say, let's redo

333
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: your deal, let's move some money around. Keep in mind,

334
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: teams are squeezed this year because the salary cap situation,

335
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: because the drop in revenue from from the COVID season

336
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: because there were no fans instance, But that's not going

337
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: to be forever right. As a matter of fact, it's

338
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: going to get markedly better very soon because these new

339
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: TV contracts are going to come online in a few

340
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: years and that's going to send the salary cap way up. Um.

341
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: You know that the TV money could double um in

342
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: the next few years. So um, this is a short

343
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: term problem that they've got right now. They've got to

344
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: get through it, and they've got a structure contracts to

345
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: get through this. But but if you can push the

346
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: money far enough out of you know, by a few years,

347
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: the salary cap is going to be your friend at

348
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: that point if you're a team. So um, I think

349
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, most of these teams hire very very smart

350
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: people to manage the cap um and I think the

351
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: best teams and the Saints have historically been one of

352
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: the best teams that at figuring out how to do

353
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: it um and keeping their team intact. And I would

354
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: expect I'd be I don't expect them to blow up

355
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: the Saints. I expect them to figure out ways to

356
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: move money around. They've got a lot of work to

357
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: be done. But we always joke this off season that

358
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: it's a great year to be rich like the Jaguars

359
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: and have all kinds of cap space. So I ask you, Judy,

360
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: with the tag deadline this afternoon at four o'clock, we think,

361
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: as of now, what do you think is gonna happen

362
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: with Cam Robinson? I mean, for as from my standpoint,

363
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: I can't see them going and drafting a left tackle

364
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: to replace him and trust a rookie of protecting Trevor

365
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence's blindside. So it's it's a little tricky here how

366
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: they're were't going to work this out? Well, I think

367
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: the first point you should make is the tagline really

368
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: going to stay today? Or are they want to move

369
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: the tag yet line? Because they still don't know, uh,

370
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: what the salary cap number is gonna be. So that's

371
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: the first question. The second point about the jag war

372
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: situation is, even if they don't tag Cam Robinson, it

373
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean they're going to start a rookie at

374
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: left tackle. They could go out and sign Again, this

375
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: is why it is great to have a lot of

376
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: salary cap space this year. They could sign one of

377
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: the left tackles who's going to be on the market. Um.

378
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: They will have the money to do it, um, and

379
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot of other teams won't have the money to

380
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: do it. So they're in a fortuitous situation that way.

381
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I can't imagine you would go

382
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: into the season opener with a rookie left tackle protecting

383
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: the blind side of your you know, the franchise, that

384
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: that the person that the entire franchise is going to

385
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: be built around. That. I can't as and them doing that. So,

386
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: even if they don't tag Cam Robinson, even if they

387
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: can't work out a contract to get him back here,

388
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: I would expect there to be a veteran left tackle

389
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: in their future. All right, Well, we'll see what happens.

390
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: All kinds of questions with not a lot of answers

391
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: as of now. We're all kind of disclimed by the

392
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: seat of our pants today. But Judy Batista, thank you

437
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: yesterday was International Woman's Day in March is woman's history.

438
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: Months were continuing our series showcasing all the wonderful female

439
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: employees for the Jaguar. So here is two more for

440
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: you this week. Check it out. Really, I think when

441
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: people hear NFL cheerleader, all they think about is just

442
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: being a beauty queen. But as cheerleaders we evolved. I mean,

443
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: on our team alone, we have nurses, we have mothers,

444
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: I'm a lawyer. We have had doctors on the team's teachers.

445
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: So cheering right now is so much more than just

446
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: being a beauty queen. You know, we are all beautiful,

447
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: but we are all still professionals, you know, we are

448
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: also role models. We are in the community, and being

449
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: a cheerleader encompasses so much more than just the average

450
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: everyday beauty. We as cheerleaders, we are the ambassadors for

451
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: the organization, and we are truly empowered to use our

452
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: platform and to use the Jaguars to show what we

453
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: stand for. And I think that that is an amazing

454
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: step towards progress. I was back here as an intern

455
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: and that was the first time they've ever had a

456
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: female in the training room here with the Jaguars, and

457
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: so um, that was completely new. I remember very distinctly

458
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: standing in the middle of the training room and it's

459
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: all glass here and as you can see, but all

460
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: glass down the windows, and I just remember standing there

461
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: like a fish and a fish bowl, um, and just

462
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: being stared at and everyone taking double looks, and and

463
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, every game we went to, everything that we did,

464
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: I was the only one. UM. And now it's been

465
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: really cool. We've had a lot of female students, We've

466
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: had uh, female interns, We've had you know, it's it's

467
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: now a norm here. So I don't know that where

468
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: we're quite there. UM. I think there is some of

469
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: that fish bold mentality type of thing um and and

470
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: people still do take a second look. But I think

471
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: we're we've definitely made a lot of progress over the

472
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: last five years. So I had something in my mirror

473
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: when I started here as an intern. I had written

474
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: on my mirror beat the boys is what I said, um,

475
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: just because it it motivated me, and it was something

476
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: so stupid. I think you do have to come out

477
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: of the get really strong. I think you have to

478
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: come out of the gate with the mentality of yes,

479
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to be better, Yes I'm going to you know,

480
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: beat the boys per se um just as a matter

481
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: of you have to work a little bit harder than

482
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: everyone else. Um, And you do, and and that doesn't

483
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: make it right or wrong. You just you work a

484
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: little bit harder and you shine a little bit brighter.

485
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: And that's what you do for me. That age the

515
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: put a ton of dirt on the field, but I

516
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: promise it will look better come September. Season approaching quickly.

517
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: We're back Jaguars Drive Time. Lonnie marks with us this morning,

518
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: and it's been so busy we've barely had the chance

519
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: to talk to him. But Lonnie, I want to talk

520
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: about this, the level of the playing field leadership academy

521
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: that you have started here in Jacksonville. Tell me all

522
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: about it. But it's actually my vision of investing in

523
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: boys of color from single parent homes with your athletes. Uh.

524
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: And it's important to me, honestly, because someone gave me

525
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: an opportunity, and they continue to give me opportunities, and

526
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: so when when I can do that for someone else,

527
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm paying it forward. Um, we would love to have

528
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: our young boys, uh, as we say, level of playing

529
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: field we we would like them do. Yeah, well, let

530
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: me let me let me say this. When young men

531
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: grow up in poverty. Uh, they look at athletics as

532
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: a way out, and I think that that does happen

533
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: for not not a majority of a minority of boys.

534
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: They tend to play well, they get out of poverty,

535
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: and I think you have to give them more. We

536
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: know that athletics, you need more than athletics to thrive

537
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: in today's society, and so we are trying to make

538
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: sure that we give them every opportunity to have more

539
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: than one option when they have to hang up those uniforms,

540
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 1: which everyone has to do. You know, Lonnie, when we

541
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: first talked about this last summer, you and your lovely

542
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: wife and I were on a phone call. You were

543
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: sharing your vision. Um. It made so much sense too.

544
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: The hands on approach as opposed to writing a check

545
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: or looking for some you know, a government solution. You

546
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: dove in with both feet, and just two weeks ago

547
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: you held a big virtual event with as I mentioned earlier,

548
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee and Derrick Brooks. You've come a long way

549
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: in just a short time. Tell me you know where

550
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: on your timeline are you and what are the next

551
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: steps to get level of playing field Leadership Academy from

552
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: the conceptual Hey you know, jump on board with the

553
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: vision to actually working with these boys and helping create

554
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: the opportunities that broaden their horizons and creative and more opportunities. Well,

555
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: we were at the point where we're accepting mentors because

556
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna need mentors for our boys, and we will

557
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: be uh taking applications for our boys in March, because

558
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: June will be when we accept our first cohort of

559
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: boys fifteen. Uh. And I know many people ask why

560
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: only fifteen. It's because I think we want to get

561
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 1: it right. And you know, you have to be a

562
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: parent and not not taking a parent's place in the house,

563
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: but you have to be concerned with supporting the family

564
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: as well as the young man. And I want to

565
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: make sure I get it right. And so we are

566
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: at the point where we're accepting applications for mentors, and

567
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: we will be accepting mentor applications for mentees in March.

568
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: We have raised a great bit of money and it's

569
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: it's what's really good about is is actually multi year

570
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: of funding. Uh. You know, Mrs Weaver. Mr Weaver have

571
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: been gracious to us. Uh. Mr Dubo has been gracious

572
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: to us. And we are still looking to raise the

573
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: funds that we need to make sure that we concede

574
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: this program. And so we are. We're a little bit off,

575
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: little ways off, but we are doing our best to

576
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: have it where we won't ever have to stop and

577
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: we will get everything to our boys that they need.

578
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: That is awesome. Actually, and I know you read the

579
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: story in the Times Junion. I think you were on

580
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: Channel four as well. Lonnie. You mentioned Mr and Mrs

581
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: Weaver and and Lori Duboux former Jaguars ownership have gotten

582
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: involved outside of a small group. What's the larger participation been,

583
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: the larger reception been for your initiative? And you tell

584
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: hard truths, and I assume you're gonna say that to

585
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: the boys. You talk about personal accountability and and stepping

586
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: into a situation where you can create some change. How

587
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: is that message? Um? How has it been received? Uh?

588
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: Some have received it, well, some haven't. UM. I normally

589
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: get you know, the question why only boys of color?

590
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: And I think you have to go to the fact

591
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: that you know and and in Jacksonville we have in

592
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: the nation actually it's of single parent homes or led

593
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: by female and of those or in poverty. And I

594
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: don't think I don't think that's fair. I realized that

595
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: I came from a single parent home and uh from

596
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: my mother and I to make it out it was

597
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: a miracle, and I don't think it has to be

598
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: a miracle. I think that we we understand what is

599
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: going on here and we have to step in. And

600
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: so our intervention in this is about not just you know,

601
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a move. Yes, we want equality, but

602
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: this has always been going on and it's not just

603
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: boys of Public. But I'm starting there because that's where

604
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: I started from, and I'm trying to help and and

605
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: give our young men a a brighter future. And I

606
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: think it will also a help a community. You always

607
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: hear uh it takes a village to raise a child,

608
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: but I think that child being raised by that village

609
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: should add to that village, add value to that village.

610
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: And that's what we're trying to do. Actually, and I

611
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: can keep going because I'm working in a very small

612
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: way with Lonnie on this, but I want people to

613
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: know I fell in love with the concept um and

614
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: the idea that it was going to be hands on

615
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: and jumping into the trenches with Lonnie. He wasn't just

616
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: going to be the face of it. He was going

617
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: to be out in the trenches. He has a board

618
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: of dedicated men and women who are generously donating their talent,

619
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: their time, their treasure to creating this. So if if

620
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: people ever find themselves in a position and they're looking

621
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: for how they can take some of the the problem

622
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: and help build a solution, they look no further than

623
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: Lonnie Marts and what he's done. Um It, you're going
