Speaker 1: his own chicken, j Peece sh Rick and my own
Speaker 1: mentals and my own health and my own chicken. Indeed,
Speaker 1: welcome in. This is Jaguar's Happy Hour. My name is
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick. His name is Jeff Lockman. That was
Speaker 1: Joe Fortunado. Glad you're along with us today. The off
Speaker 1: season we have we have a little beasts reference there
Speaker 1: that we do. That's the chicken thing. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: get to him a little later, and he's going to
Speaker 1: be um presenting in front of a unique audience. Let's
Speaker 1: say there's a little controversy with that. It'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: I think I like to be there for it. Um,
Speaker 1: it's not bad advice. Protect your saying something that's wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to. I don't want to
Speaker 1: give it. I don't want to give it away. Appreciate.
Speaker 1: I don't want to give it away. Because it's a
Speaker 1: pretty interesting story about beast mode Marshawn Lynch recently and
Speaker 1: also a college institution. Yes, yes, protect your chick to it,
Speaker 1: protect your chicken. Yes, here's what's coming up on the
Speaker 1: program today, A J Boyer traded not official until the
Speaker 1: opening of the league year in March eighteenth. Is the date. Well,
Speaker 1: both teams are talking about. It's about as ficial as
Speaker 1: you can get. It is correct, yes, unique and Coqway
Speaker 1: wants out. We'll get into the developments this week Quarterback Talk.
Speaker 1: Chad Johnson joins us in studio not Ocho Sinko, the
Speaker 1: VP of sales and Service for the Jaguars. Chad Johnson
Speaker 1: joining us to discuss the summertime concert coming up at
Speaker 1: t i A bank Field featuring def Leppard and others.
Speaker 1: And we'll go around the National Football League as well,
Speaker 1: So I'll have to get to Let's start off with
Speaker 1: the Adam Schefter tweet Tuesday afternoon, the Jagson the Broncos
Speaker 1: agreed to a trade that will take effect officially at
Speaker 1: the start of the league year. A j Boyer headed
Speaker 1: to Denver for a fourth round pick. So about thirteen
Speaker 1: million dollars worth of salary is off the books now
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars as well. What do you make of
Speaker 1: this trade overall? Is it a good one? It is?
Speaker 1: Is it enough for the Jags or you just hey,
Speaker 1: you got your the salary off the books, you get
Speaker 1: a draft pick to go with it, and you move forward. Well,
Speaker 1: first off, I think the world a J boy as
Speaker 1: a person. I think he's uh, he's a high class
Speaker 1: individual quality guy and uh watching him play, really his
Speaker 1: study habits are phenomenal. I mean literally, this guy is
Speaker 1: a student of the game. You can tell that the
Speaker 1: way he plays the game, the way he anticipates things.
Speaker 1: But is he still a top end cornerback. That's a
Speaker 1: great question, and I think I think because of the
Speaker 1: a lot of things that have been going bad for
Speaker 1: this franchise or or perceived as being bad. A bad season. Uh,
Speaker 1: the Jail and Ramsey trade two games in London, and
Speaker 1: that for a lot of people, the trade of a
Speaker 1: J boy A kind of goes onto that that pile
Speaker 1: or the heap of pile that people look at. Another
Speaker 1: bad job by the organism. Again add it to the list.
Speaker 1: I get it, because I mean, he's your best corner
Speaker 1: right now. But if you if you evaluate it on
Speaker 1: its own, is a J Boyer worth what is the
Speaker 1: thirteen million? Is he worth thirteen million a year? If
Speaker 1: you evaluate his performance last year and the year before,
Speaker 1: his play does not equal that level of pay. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a fact that cannot be argued. You look
Speaker 1: at all the different scouting services that ranked players in
Speaker 1: the National Football League, you will evaluate the speed that
Speaker 1: a j has displayed. He's just not there. And but
Speaker 1: the reality is he's your best corner. That also means
Speaker 1: that you've got some work to do to fill that spot,
Speaker 1: and also means that he's he's now I think now
Speaker 1: the secondary from seventeen it's all gone. He's all gone.
Speaker 1: All the guys if you count the nickel corner Aaron
Speaker 1: Colvin as well, all five of those guys are now
Speaker 1: out of here. He was the last man standing from
Speaker 1: the f C Championship game. So and then the reality
Speaker 1: is that did this team needs to find cap space
Speaker 1: and no question was posed to gentlemanager Dave Caldwell about
Speaker 1: getting this team back under the cap and and his
Speaker 1: response was kind of casual that you know, he you know,
Speaker 1: we can do that. It's it's not it's not that hard. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, look to get there, things like this have
Speaker 1: to happen. You know, you have to let go of
Speaker 1: good players. Now the reality is here and that he's
Speaker 1: a good player, but the level of pay doesn't equal
Speaker 1: the level of player that he has been playing at.
Speaker 1: And that's the cost of doing business and free agency too.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna pay a big number for a
Speaker 1: guy and then in reality, two or three years later,
Speaker 1: if the level of play is not there, you here's
Speaker 1: the reality. Here's the reality. The contract is still fine
Speaker 1: if a j boy is still playing at the level
Speaker 1: of that he was at. Absolutely it's a great number
Speaker 1: because he was a top five corner in the league,
Speaker 1: top six corner in the league. Hasn't he hasn't been
Speaker 1: first team, hasn't been there since. So what's happened from
Speaker 1: seventeen and now? I don't know? Okay, but the but
Speaker 1: the productivity hasn't hasn't been in the same neighborhood of
Speaker 1: that in sen So, but it's still difficult and that
Speaker 1: you're still you got to replace your best corner. So
Speaker 1: how do you do that? I mean a couple different ways. One,
Speaker 1: you can pay somebody more commensurate with what their talent
Speaker 1: or their ability is in free agency, number one, number
Speaker 1: two draft, and I think that that's gonna be. I
Speaker 1: know that there's two guys, ones at Florida and ones
Speaker 1: at Ohio State, they're highly touted corners and uh. In
Speaker 1: the draft process, it's still early time time out. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna draft a guy because you're drafting, you're
Speaker 1: probably gonna draft a linebacker. At some point. It's gonna
Speaker 1: have to play right, You're gonna have to draft a
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. J understand rookies. I understand rookies on defense.
Speaker 1: Next year you might have a lot Yeah, you might
Speaker 1: have a lot of reality that's gonna do. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have a young team. You lose a bunch of games there.
Speaker 1: There there are a lot of holes with this football
Speaker 1: team to fill. And are you going to fill them
Speaker 1: all with rookies? No? Are you gonna fill them with
Speaker 1: rookies and draft picks that eventually will be taken over.
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, I have stopcap veterans in place. Yes,
Speaker 1: And in a lot of ways, this franchise, I don't
Speaker 1: want to say it's in rebuild mode, but if you,
Speaker 1: if you, if you look at where they're gonna be at,
Speaker 1: possibly in a couple of weeks, once they get to
Speaker 1: this to the point of salary cap, this is somewhat
Speaker 1: of a rebuild mode that I mean, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't see what they Is it a rebuild or is
Speaker 1: a retool? I mean, I mean, I look semantics, but
Speaker 1: the reality is that this this team has to do
Speaker 1: a lot of retooling. But there's a lot of teams
Speaker 1: in the National Football League that have to do that.
Speaker 1: This team tried to stay status quo from seventeen in
Speaker 1: the eighteen it didn't work. This team tried to do
Speaker 1: some a few things different but not so much defensively
Speaker 1: from from eighteen to nineteen to keep everything in place.
Speaker 1: Guess what didn't work? It didn't work, so um so
Speaker 1: doing something different. I don't want to say it's it's
Speaker 1: it's a complete rebuild. It I mean sometimes things that
Speaker 1: ever needed to be done. And the reality is that
Speaker 1: this team has cap issues. What kind of corner do
Speaker 1: you need? Though, considering the division that you've it's really good. Okay,
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Especially in this division when you
Speaker 1: have some top in corners. I don't care what division
Speaker 1: you're in. Corner the type of corner that you want
Speaker 1: doesn't change. You know that the way that with the
Speaker 1: speed of like t Y Hilton, and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Every division has speed. Every division has speedy. Every everybody's
Speaker 1: got speed. Hopkins is not that fast. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's probably a little bit of a misnomer. DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: is not a not a elite speed guy, deep guy.
Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean, look at his average yards
Speaker 1: per catch over the last couple of years. I don't
Speaker 1: want to say he's a possession guy, but I mean
Speaker 1: his numbers don't tell you that he's a deep guy.
Speaker 1: Breaking News Jeff Logman says DeAndre Hopkins is a possession guy.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's a possession guy either. I'm saying
Speaker 1: I'm saying if you look, if you look at the
Speaker 1: numbers and plose numbers up DeAndre, okay, and then we'll
Speaker 1: we'll make a case for Yeah, you could probably say
Speaker 1: that he is more of a possession receiver. But the
Speaker 1: type of corner that you want doesn't matter where you're
Speaker 1: at in the National Football League. You want a corner
Speaker 1: that can cover somebody by themselves, and you can have
Speaker 1: the utmost confidence that that player can cover him. And
Speaker 1: I don't want to say shut him out because I mean,
Speaker 1: there's very few corners in the league that can do that.
Speaker 1: Jalen was one of those guys. But Jillen, who was
Speaker 1: a nightmare. What do you wanted to be one of
Speaker 1: those guys? But when when he was on, now, Jalen
Speaker 1: can shut down some of the best of the best.
Speaker 1: But then also Jalen could screw up and have a
Speaker 1: game that he will give up a lot of plays
Speaker 1: and have some mental errors to where he was giving
Speaker 1: up big play after big play. So it's not like
Speaker 1: Jalen was without fault alright, So we'll come back to that,
Speaker 1: and we'll come back around to this. We gotta get
Speaker 1: got quizzle. We'll come back around to the DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: because I think we're onto something with DeAndre. I think
Speaker 1: we're onto something about that. Oh hell, I'm good to
Speaker 1: be honest. Something. But where are we going within Gockway?
Speaker 1: Oh well, let's start off earlier this offseason of course,
Speaker 1: when when g M Dave called Well called the unique
Speaker 1: Gockway situation priority number one, and last week at the
Speaker 1: combine called Wells asked about the process of getting him
Speaker 1: signed or tagged. I think the best thing for us
Speaker 1: to do as an organization is when we have news
Speaker 1: for you guys on that is, to let you guys
Speaker 1: know when we have news on it. Um, there's still
Speaker 1: a process that needs to be played. But I think
Speaker 1: you guys know how we feel about him, and um,
Speaker 1: we want him here. We're gonna try to get him
Speaker 1: here and keep him here, um one way or another.
Speaker 1: This was late last week in Indianapolis. And then Monday morning,
Speaker 1: everyone wakes up to a unique and Gockway tweet saying
Speaker 1: that he no longer had interest in being in Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: no interest in signing a long term contract here. Duvo,
Speaker 1: I love you and I gave you guys everything I
Speaker 1: got him. Thankful for the journey and look forward to
Speaker 1: continue in my career else where ninety one saying goodbye. Well,
Speaker 1: he's not saying goodbye because the Jaguars still have the
Speaker 1: franchise tag available to place on him. And then which
Speaker 1: day which look, Dave Carli said one way or another
Speaker 1: when he's talking about keeping that which one way or
Speaker 1: another means with an extension or with the tag. But
Speaker 1: or where I'm kind of a miss on this whole
Speaker 1: situation is that as Um as a free agent, first
Speaker 1: of all, in Gowkway should never want to close the
Speaker 1: door on on any on any avenue that maybe open
Speaker 1: to him in free agency, whether it be that his
Speaker 1: existing team or potential teams that that are out there, whatever,
Speaker 1: because look, the more and the more people that want you,
Speaker 1: the more your price goes up. So you don't want
Speaker 1: to shut the door on the team that you're with.
Speaker 1: So what happened, I mean, what what went wrong? Was Coughlin?
Speaker 1: I mean, do we want to blame this one Coughlin too?
Speaker 1: He's been gone since December? Um, because I mean that's
Speaker 1: supposedly there was some issues with Coughlin and contracts with
Speaker 1: and go way before with other people and Tom Coughlin
Speaker 1: is not around. So um my point is where my
Speaker 1: question is because I know yahn uh y'han's stand up
Speaker 1: guy now, but if you if you say something wrong
Speaker 1: to yn, he's done with you. He'll be done with
Speaker 1: you in a minute. And he doesn't forget. No, he's
Speaker 1: like an elephant. That's right, He's gonna remember. But what
Speaker 1: what happened? I mean, was there something said? Was there
Speaker 1: something done? And look, I understand that negotiations are business
Speaker 1: and sometimes things get said that can be perceived or
Speaker 1: taken in the wrong way. Maybe maybe that was it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but boy, I mean that's first of all,
Speaker 1: he's a marvelous player. He he is one of the
Speaker 1: best young pass rushers in the game. You can debate
Speaker 1: what his level of pay should be. Should it be
Speaker 1: eighteen million or twenty two million. You can have that
Speaker 1: debate and go round and round and round, like we've
Speaker 1: had that debate. But yes, that's been the debate. But
Speaker 1: the I think the issue here is that you're talking
Speaker 1: about a guy who he's doing everything by the book.
Speaker 1: He's entitled to do anything that he wants to do.
Speaker 1: He played under a contract that was not fair to
Speaker 1: his talent level and his production over the last couple
Speaker 1: of years because that's the rules of the National Football League,
Speaker 1: and now he's entitled to to test the market. The
Speaker 1: team's entitled to apply the franchise tag. So this is
Speaker 1: where unfortunately, passion, the passion that everybody has for the sport,
Speaker 1: doesn't mix with the business eye of the sport. And
Speaker 1: that's just the reality of it and what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: What's the end result. Look, the reality is that you
Speaker 1: never want to have players that don't want to be
Speaker 1: with you. That's a fact. I mean, you do you
Speaker 1: want to have a player who's And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he's a malcontent, but if but if somebody's not happy,
Speaker 1: that's kind of a term. Put it out on social
Speaker 1: media that he doesn't want to be Do you want
Speaker 1: to do you want to tag somebody? And what? What
Speaker 1: would he how was his reaction to that be? First
Speaker 1: of all, he wouldn't be happy that he's been tagged,
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't be happy that it doesn't have a
Speaker 1: long term deal. Do you want to have that in
Speaker 1: your locker room? Do you want to have that on
Speaker 1: your team? And he's a great player, is it worth
Speaker 1: having that to have the productivity? And what would the
Speaker 1: productivity be the same? What the well? Because he's always
Speaker 1: don't don't don't question the production with you on because
Speaker 1: I can tell you one thing. If there was ever
Speaker 1: a year for him that did he could have wanted
Speaker 1: to protect himself to get the free agency, it was
Speaker 1: this past year. And even in the last couple of
Speaker 1: games he's thrown himself around, which I think I highlighted
Speaker 1: that in in a film room segment at some point
Speaker 1: in the end of the year last year, and I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, I got more even more respect for him.
Speaker 1: God way, because here's a guy that, if he gets hurt,
Speaker 1: could cost himself sixty seventy million and guaranteed money. So
Speaker 1: if if he played the game a little bit cautious,
Speaker 1: I would have understood. But he didn't play the game cautiously.
Speaker 1: He threw him but his body around like like you
Speaker 1: want your football players to do like you you want
Speaker 1: the guys on your team to do so uh and
Speaker 1: then look there the debate will always go on, is
Speaker 1: he worth twenty two million? And and um, look I
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that. I mean, is he
Speaker 1: worth Could he be worth twenty two million? Sure? Has
Speaker 1: he been in a double digit sack guy consistently? No?
Speaker 1: Is he great against the run? No? Does he make
Speaker 1: plays against the run sometimes yes? Can he be a
Speaker 1: liability against the run at times? Yes? Do you pay
Speaker 1: somebody that can be a liability against the run? But
Speaker 1: yet's a good pass rush your twenty two million? It
Speaker 1: happens on your defense, It happens. It happens because of
Speaker 1: the premium that's put on on the ability of a
Speaker 1: player to brush the passer. So but put it. But
Speaker 1: it goes into that category of here's another thing that's
Speaker 1: not going well. Added to the list. You know that
Speaker 1: that you want and I think as as fans and
Speaker 1: looking as supporter as the team, you want to see
Speaker 1: some things that are happening that you go, that's what
Speaker 1: we need. That's good, that's good. Yes, And when it happens,
Speaker 1: it builds confidence. And right now you haven't gotten to
Speaker 1: the point where those things can happen yet, because look,
Speaker 1: there's still some things probably coming. I wouldn't be shocked
Speaker 1: by that at all from from a cap standpoint, you know,
Speaker 1: because if you're gonna be a player in free agency,
Speaker 1: and also the tag of and Gockway is gonna eat
Speaker 1: some of that cap room up, you know, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things still to happen, and you just you want,
Speaker 1: you want the things that are on the bad side
Speaker 1: of the ledger to stop and that the good side
Speaker 1: to start happening. And obviously the good side can't start
Speaker 1: to happen until you get the free agency and and
Speaker 1: for this team, a lot of the good things are
Speaker 1: gonna be happening in the draft with the bevy of
Speaker 1: picks that they have. And let me say this for
Speaker 1: the for the boy than did I never really commented
Speaker 1: on that a fourth round pick for a guy that
Speaker 1: you probably were gonna have to cut. It's a it's
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. You know that. I get the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and Dave called all credit the jail and Ramsey for
Speaker 1: him to get to get two ones and a four
Speaker 1: for that, I mean, I thought he fleeced the Rams
Speaker 1: and to get a fourth from the Denver Broncos, Look,
Speaker 1: that's a great job because in theory, you're gonna let
Speaker 1: him go anyway. You're talking about a guy's probably gonna
Speaker 1: get cut anyway, and so you end up getting a
Speaker 1: fourth form and a lot of people say, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: you would have got a compensatory pick. You don't get
Speaker 1: compensatory picks that you cut together. Okay, So so look,
Speaker 1: there's criticism out there on Caldwell, but look, don't criticize
Speaker 1: him as far as the draft picks that he's been
Speaker 1: able to get with these two trades specifically, because I
Speaker 1: think he's done a pretty good job with East two.
Speaker 1: And look, you never want to trade good players away,
Speaker 1: but for for the players that you traded away, what
Speaker 1: you got, I think I think the price that has
Speaker 1: been received has been very good. Let's come back. Pete
Speaker 1: Prisco is at it again. We've got a comment on

Speaker 1: eight team. Then yes, let's go to the tweet we got.
Speaker 1: We got a tweet about you're you're still hung up
Speaker 1: on So it's fine. I mean it's a big but
Speaker 1: I mean I think a lot of people we'll get
Speaker 1: back to quarterbacks in a moment. A lot of times
Speaker 1: people end up having they get fixated on one particular
Speaker 1: stat and this stat on a j boy go ahead
Speaker 1: and read it. It's a touchdown percentage again against corners
Speaker 1: in the National Football Jack's bos said, please show this
Speaker 1: to logs and it was a next gen stat about
Speaker 1: a J boy um with Jalen Ramsey's Partridge. Twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have now traded away the only two defensive
Speaker 1: backs that have allowed a t d on fewer than
Speaker 1: two and a half percent of their targets since a
Speaker 1: J Boy was at one eight percent, number one in
Speaker 1: that area. Okay, um, just real quick uh PFF, which
Speaker 1: does usually a pretty good job of grading cornerback football focus. Yes,
Speaker 1: and a J Boy a Jenn Ramsey were one two
Speaker 1: or two one right there? It was back and forth
Speaker 1: the whole s Okay, uh boy, it wasn't even in
Speaker 1: the top thirty the last two years. Okay, boy over
Speaker 1: the last couple of years has a lot of completion
Speaker 1: percentage about sixty when he's been targeted, and a quarterback
Speaker 1: rating of over a hundred. Okay, So find another stat
Speaker 1: that that might reflect better on a J. Look. Look,
Speaker 1: I like a J as a person. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it's a bad player. I'm just saying, is that third
Speaker 1: teen million for the level of play? They don't marry
Speaker 1: It wasn't the same player he was in. No, they
Speaker 1: don't marry you know. So Look, you can throw out
Speaker 1: stats and where he's at the top of touchdown percentage,
Speaker 1: but look, that might be the only stat that you
Speaker 1: find because completion percentage, quarterback rating, uh, pass breakups, interceptions,
Speaker 1: I think he's had one interception a year for the
Speaker 1: last two years and seventeen. Look, that's not a great number. Okay,
Speaker 1: so find another stat. I mean, if if you want
Speaker 1: to throw stat at me, I'll throw you a stat
Speaker 1: right back the battle. We can do that because I mean, look,
Speaker 1: though sometimes stats can be can be cherry picked in
Speaker 1: some cases to to make your case however you want
Speaker 1: to make your case. We heard from Jake Gruden there
Speaker 1: coming out offensive coordinator. First time we've heard from him,
Speaker 1: by the way, and the first I think visiting Jacksonville
Speaker 1: with any of the media was with Ashland and the
Speaker 1: full visit there. It's notable obviously what his thoughts are
Speaker 1: on the quarterback situation. That's another topic we really didn't
Speaker 1: get into yet was Nick Foles and the stories this
Speaker 1: week in the NFL network that he could be available
Speaker 1: and maybe being pushed out there on the trading block
Speaker 1: as well. That'd be like a reverse trade, like get
Speaker 1: out of here and here's something to take with him
Speaker 1: maybe maybe, I mean in order when or for a
Speaker 1: team to take the cap number, team would pay some money,
Speaker 1: give up a pick to be able to move him on.
Speaker 1: You know. So the one thing I will say that
Speaker 1: conversation with Ashlands, if you read between the lines, I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm reading between the wrong lines here, but I
Speaker 1: get the impression that he liked Gordier Minshew a lot
Speaker 1: more than he likes Nick Falls from that bite we heard, sure, right,
Speaker 1: And if you listen to the whole and it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's an all scheduled league, he makes more off
Speaker 1: scheduled plays. Um, you know. But the reality is is
Speaker 1: that this team needs to covert both quarterbacks right now,
Speaker 1: because if you downgrade one or the other, then it's
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna downgrade the value of a player that
Speaker 1: you may want to move one way or the other.
Speaker 1: So but I think it's gonna be in. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the most interesting question among many questions with his
Speaker 1: football team for is what what's going to happen at
Speaker 1: the quarterback position? And if it is Gardner Minshew, can
Speaker 1: he take this team and can he take the next step?
Speaker 1: And can he take this team to the next step?
Speaker 1: What's his ceiling? That's the big question. What can he
Speaker 1: be as a quarterback? I don't I don't know the
Speaker 1: answer to that. I think anybody knows the answer to that.
Speaker 1: And I don't think people in the building know the answer. Well,
Speaker 1: I I do know this. Players that pick that are
Speaker 1: picked in the later rounds typically aren't viewed as having
Speaker 1: a very high sale. There's a reason they're drafting that, right,
Speaker 1: So I think that I think from from that. But look,
Speaker 1: here's the reality. Tom Brady was a six round pick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean that's the once in a lifetime type guy.
Speaker 1: And I get it, see it. But but I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: is that, look at things like that do happen. Carl
Speaker 1: Mecklenburg was he was like a twelfth round pick or
Speaker 1: something like that for the for the Denver bron Because
Speaker 1: we're talking about a Hall of Fame player, hall of
Speaker 1: Fame type player. I mean, so uh, you can't end
Speaker 1: up pigeonholing somebody just because of where they were drafted.
Speaker 1: But I do know this and that if if you
Speaker 1: believe that Gardner Minshew is the guy and you're not
Speaker 1: gonna do your homework on the quarterbacks in this draft,
Speaker 1: you're making a mistake. I think you have to have
Speaker 1: an approach. And then I you know, following the news
Speaker 1: around the league, which we do all the time, we
Speaker 1: we we read it and we h we we talked
Speaker 1: to people that are in this building, We talk to
Speaker 1: people that are in other buildings, We read clips from
Speaker 1: other places. And look, look at the Redskins. Maron Rivera
Speaker 1: is hired in Washington. They have a first round pick
Speaker 1: quarterback that was drafted last year in the building, and
Speaker 1: they have said they're gonna do their due diligence on
Speaker 1: the quarterback class of this year because I believe Washington
Speaker 1: Redskins had the second overall pick in the draft. And
Speaker 1: do do you you can you can get a pretty
Speaker 1: good quarterback in say look, yeah, I mean, look, you
Speaker 1: might think that Dwayne Haskins is gonna be a good
Speaker 1: football player. But if you think that Toa is gonna
Speaker 1: be better, do you do you pass them up? Just
Speaker 1: because you drafted one last year? You take them right,
Speaker 1: So you're thinking that, I mean, no matter what happens,
Speaker 1: if what if full stage, I'm not saying that you
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback JP. I'm what I'm saying this is,
Speaker 1: this is just in general, Ignore Nick Foles. This is
Speaker 1: this is saying Nick Foles and gardnerment you are on this,
Speaker 1: I don't care. Still look through and where you are
Speaker 1: at and nine look, if you fall in love with
Speaker 1: one of these guys that are not named two up
Speaker 1: because he's probably gonna go before nine, and Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: who is going to go before nine. But if they're
Speaker 1: one of these other guys you love okay, the kid
Speaker 1: from Oregon, No, he love them okay, and he's available
Speaker 1: at nine, take him, take him right, and then you
Speaker 1: can you have something to deal with if you you know,
Speaker 1: you can get rid of the other guy. If you don't,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, it doesn't matter. See, all of that
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The most important important thing is is trying
Speaker 1: to find greatness at the quarterback position. You are not
Speaker 1: trying to find we're okay, we're good, we're okay at
Speaker 1: that position. You're trying to find greatness because if you
Speaker 1: don't find if you continue to be average at that position,
Speaker 1: which this team hasn't been average at that position, has
Speaker 1: been average at best, and that's a long stretch, yes,
Speaker 1: but if you can finally find a way to find
Speaker 1: greatness at that position, your team has a chance at greatness.
Speaker 1: That's why you never closed the door on the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: Never more. Ahead will get into logs. Thoughts on DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins we haven't touched on that at that point to okay,
Speaker 1: that's one year. We'll come back to trend JP coming

Speaker 1: what's up. It's always great to be here. Guys. Thanks
Speaker 1: glad to have you back in the studio here. And
Speaker 1: a guy, I got a question right out of the game,
Speaker 1: please tell me what the six pack is. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: we're lucky enough here to be launching this biggest rock
Speaker 1: tour in the country this summer here in Jacksonville. The
Speaker 1: band's gonna be here for a week rehearsing. All media,
Speaker 1: all markets gonna be looking at us, so we have
Speaker 1: to show everybody what we're all about. So we want
Speaker 1: to pack this building. We want to make sure it's
Speaker 1: the biggest selling show on the tour. So we're launching
Speaker 1: this six pack, which is a really heavy promotionally priced ticket.
Speaker 1: But what's really cool about it, we know how important
Speaker 1: the military is in this market. So for every six
Speaker 1: pack we sell, the Jaguar are gonna donate two tickets
Speaker 1: to the USO for military men and women to come
Speaker 1: out and enjoy the show. For France. Really cool, man,
Speaker 1: really cool. It's a good lineup. I mean, first of all,
Speaker 1: def Leppard and Motley Crue can I mean can stand
Speaker 1: on their own sure, And for me personally, I mean
Speaker 1: I saw Motley Crue play in nasall cal sum years ago,
Speaker 1: back in the early nineties. So we go with the
Speaker 1: lockupens Tommy Lee was playing the drums up on the
Speaker 1: in the ceiling. Well, if you look across this table,
Speaker 1: it's probably right at all of our wheelhouses right now.
Speaker 1: But it is the biggest rock show in the summer
Speaker 1: and they're doing thirty one dates. They're selling like crazy everywhere,
Speaker 1: So we were really fortunate to be able to get
Speaker 1: this first show and kick off the tour. Um. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a five hour party, you know when you
Speaker 1: look at that lineup, it's a long, long, fun night
Speaker 1: and we'll drink some beers and have a good time.
Speaker 1: What's the what's the date? June eighteen, June eight Thursday night.
Speaker 1: We can go right after the show, We're gonna walk
Speaker 1: right out of the tunnel and we'll be right here
Speaker 1: inside t I a bank field and this has turned
Speaker 1: in to a venue. Now that you've been a couple
Speaker 1: of big stadium shows, you're obviously Leonard Skinner and that
Speaker 1: whole deal all day long. It was fantastic. And then
Speaker 1: of course the Rolling Stones coming here and packed the
Speaker 1: place too, So this is really turning into a place
Speaker 1: where these tours want to come. When you look at
Speaker 1: Shodd's vision of opening Daily's Place and our bullish reputation
Speaker 1: of what we can deliver here, we knew we could
Speaker 1: be a great market, but we had to earn it
Speaker 1: the right way. Right We opened slowly with Daily's Place,
Speaker 1: put on some great acts, put on that Skinner show
Speaker 1: in their hometown. That was incredible, by the way. I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, Skinner was great, but BlackBerry Smoke all
Speaker 1: the way through with ken Rock was that was one
Speaker 1: of the best times I've had in a long time. Well,
Speaker 1: the artists loved it and the fans loved and when
Speaker 1: those two things happen, people start knocking on your door
Speaker 1: to come back. And that's what's been a really special
Speaker 1: and fun thing to see evolve here. I think that
Speaker 1: was one of the cool things about the Skinner show
Speaker 1: For me personally, I thought BlackBerry Smokes to all the
Speaker 1: show and for me, and they're coming back to Daily's Place,
Speaker 1: by the way, that was just just the Almond Brothers band,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a special tribute show and and
Speaker 1: and that's where they have such a good time here,
Speaker 1: they wanted to come back. That's what we want to
Speaker 1: see happen every time. This definite Leppard show is going
Speaker 1: to be fantastic and uh, tickets obviously are on sale now,
Speaker 1: but the six pack is the way to go. This
Speaker 1: is the way to get in here. It's across all
Speaker 1: price points, so it's not just the upper level or
Speaker 1: anything else. We have a six pack across all price points.
Speaker 1: We had an awesome day to day when we launched it.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm hoping that we can sell eight ten
Speaker 1: thousand of these and that lets us donate a couple
Speaker 1: of thousand tickets to military, which will be an awesome
Speaker 1: thing for everybody. The the the design of the stadium
Speaker 1: has has that already kind of been configured as far
Speaker 1: as how the setup will be. Is it gonna be
Speaker 1: one stage? Is it gonna be multiple stages? Because when
Speaker 1: you're talking about this era of bands, they all kind
Speaker 1: of have their own little thing that they do. Ye
Speaker 1: So yeah, we we've been working through the production. It
Speaker 1: is one stage. What I'm hoping though, is we have
Speaker 1: to keep moving that stage back further and further and
Speaker 1: further because more and more people are coming. And that's
Speaker 1: that's the great thing about the flexibility of our stadium
Speaker 1: that we can do. Um. But you're right, each one
Speaker 1: of those puts on a pretty intense performance. So the
Speaker 1: the change over piece is a really well orchestrated but
Speaker 1: really difficult thing to go from one band to the
Speaker 1: other with this group, do you have do you have
Speaker 1: dressing rooms for all these live acts that come in
Speaker 1: the different bands each got their own dressing well. Uh,
Speaker 1: if you've seen what we've done in with the new
Speaker 1: locker rooms, that was part of building those out as
Speaker 1: we need a new backup house rooms for those. If
Speaker 1: you look at what we did with the Rolling Stones,
Speaker 1: we built the whole artist village depending on how many
Speaker 1: artists we have where we bring in resources and we
Speaker 1: want them to leave thinking this was the best place
Speaker 1: they played in the country. So we really put a
Speaker 1: lot into making sure that artist experience is the best
Speaker 1: it can be for them. Make sure you have plenty
Speaker 1: of makeup artists for Poison. I am sure they are
Speaker 1: traveling well equipped. They might have worned but besides kiss Okay,
Speaker 1: they might have worn more makeup than any of the
Speaker 1: hair bands from back in the day. I am sure
Speaker 1: they're all coming ready, ready and prepared. I might have
Speaker 1: a little bit more makeup on these days, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, getting little a little older, you know, making
Speaker 1: itself look good like that good stuff. So obviously this
Speaker 1: is a musically inclined city and area, So make it
Speaker 1: out to def Leopard, Montley Crue, Poison jone jet Je.
Speaker 1: Get the six pack offer in now at ticketmaster dot com.
Speaker 1: While we have you here, it is season ticket member
Speaker 1: renewal time. What do we need to know about that process,
Speaker 1: how it's going so far, the deadlines and what's coming.
Speaker 1: So so we launched on Thursday. We do know that
Speaker 1: this year there's some unique things that are happening around
Speaker 1: the building with the construction a lot j development, parking.
Speaker 1: You know, people have talked about the two games in
Speaker 1: London and what does that mean. So we've really had
Speaker 1: to make ourselves accessible right now. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: long conversations and making sure people understand exactly what's happening
Speaker 1: and what we've done with pricing that's favorable for them
Speaker 1: and those types of things. So we know that this
Speaker 1: will be a little bit of a longer burn than
Speaker 1: maybe in the past. Are deadlines at the end of March. March,
Speaker 1: we have a big golf tournament in town next week,
Speaker 1: so you know, there's a little disruption there. So it
Speaker 1: was important that we gave it a long runway to
Speaker 1: make sure we can talk to everybody. Now. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who want to have a
Speaker 1: conversation and looking and having a lot of patients for
Speaker 1: on on your end, I'm sure it is required, and
Speaker 1: kudos to you guys, because I'm sure that there are
Speaker 1: challenges and every year comes different challenges and this is
Speaker 1: no different. No, I mean, there's no doubt this will
Speaker 1: be a tricky off season because we have to re
Speaker 1: educate them on and maybe some of their experiences have
Speaker 1: been the same for twenty five years are now going
Speaker 1: to be a little different. Well, And I think a
Speaker 1: lot of questions of people might have I mean, because
Speaker 1: this these are some of the questions that have posed
Speaker 1: to me because of what I do and and for
Speaker 1: so long people want to ask me like I have
Speaker 1: the answers to all of that, and I don't. But
Speaker 1: the one of the big questions, how will the schedule
Speaker 1: be managed when you have to London games that typically
Speaker 1: in the past at least the London game has fallen
Speaker 1: in the middle of the schedule. I mean we've seen,
Speaker 1: you know, quite a long window where there hasn't been
Speaker 1: a game here at t i A bank Field, And
Speaker 1: so I mean, are we looking at maybe another window?
Speaker 1: You know that's gonna be interested in how that's managed.
Speaker 1: Because the schedule doesn't come out one until April. We
Speaker 1: know in the long term that our goal would be
Speaker 1: too if there are games moved, to move them at
Speaker 1: a time that's the least desirable for our fans. We
Speaker 1: know that September games and things like that could be
Speaker 1: a challenge, so there there's no doubt attention to try
Speaker 1: to address it and make it the easiest for our
Speaker 1: fans and the most beneficial. That way. That's gonna take
Speaker 1: some time, and like you said, we don't have full control.
Speaker 1: If we did, it would be a little different, but
Speaker 1: we're at the mercy of scheduling and some other things
Speaker 1: that are outside of the Jaguars control itself. Chad, great stuff,
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking the time. And as you said, Logs,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you and your staff. Chat are
Speaker 1: working your tails off over there, and I walked through
Speaker 1: there occasionally in the phones are ringing. Everybody's from from

Speaker 1: what you guys do. Thank you much. All right, So
Speaker 1: real quick question your favorite band out of the June
Speaker 1: the June concert coming here, y'all. I'm gonna let you
Speaker 1: know that I like all of them. Of course, I'm
Speaker 1: out here trying to book more and more, and I
Speaker 1: want to tell you I love every artist that comes
Speaker 1: through here just the same. I gotta say I'm a
Speaker 1: little partial to Motley cr Leppards up there now, Joe
Speaker 1: Jet don't last on the bill, but not it shouldn't

Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter. There's speeded receiver all around the NFL.
Speaker 1: But in this division, there are some talented top end receivers,
Speaker 1: let's say it that way, in this division. And you
Speaker 1: said that maybe DeAndre Hopkins numbers what weren't what you
Speaker 1: thought they would be in terms of yards per catch. Well,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins doesn't run a ton of vertical routes. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's will four. He's the one that's going down. I mean,
Speaker 1: he he's the guy that that takes the top off
Speaker 1: of a defense. And I'm not trying to to disparage
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins whatsoever. He's one of the best receivers in
Speaker 1: the game period. His his catch radius and catch percentage
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. But if you look at his numbers, they
Speaker 1: have they have crept down throughout his career where to
Speaker 1: the point where and you can see the trend to
Speaker 1: where when he was younger he was fifteen ish yards
Speaker 1: per catch, and where last year two years ago he
Speaker 1: might have been like twelve three years ago, about thirteen
Speaker 1: two years ago, about twelve this past year round eleven ish?
Speaker 1: Am I right point two this year okay? And the
Speaker 1: year before that it was thirteen point seven okay. So
Speaker 1: I mean you can see the trend where he's kind
Speaker 1: of going down a little bit. But I mean, he's
Speaker 1: still a great receiver. I'm not trying to to criticize
Speaker 1: him in any way, shape or form. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to say that he's not the guy that you worry about,
Speaker 1: which is will Fuller. I mean, that's why will Fuller
Speaker 1: made took that offense to a different level when he
Speaker 1: was acting when he was hurt, it was not the
Speaker 1: same group, because now you're talking about DeAndre Hopkins being
Speaker 1: even better just because of the attention that Will Fuller
Speaker 1: Garner going vertical. So all that said, the JAG's gotta
Speaker 1: figure that out next year. Corner. I mean, I'd be
Speaker 1: more worried about finding a guy that's gonna cover cover
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, Hopkins and Fuller and Fuller. I mean in
Speaker 1: the division. I mean, if you look at the Tennessee,
Speaker 1: does Tennessee have a guy that's been scaring you? The
Speaker 1: old guy? He's a guy and up and coming, the rookie? Uh,
Speaker 1: DK metcalf is a guy that was Is that him
Speaker 1: D came out? Was that the guy in Seattle? I'm
Speaker 1: trying to remember the two? A J. Brown? A J. Brown,
Speaker 1: he's but A Brown fantastic and he's big, He's got
Speaker 1: size to him. So, uh, does Indianapolis have a look?
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton doesn't scare me anymore. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Just the memories I have of him against this football
Speaker 1: That's the thing. It's memories like you know he has
Speaker 1: you know, and is it is a quarterback related maybe,
Speaker 1: but against the secondary, that's not that that could be
Speaker 1: subpar in theory, that's not a good matchup. Stuff never is,
Speaker 1: but t Y Hilton does not scare me anymore. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the national Let's do that. Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's start off with our friend Pete Priscoe. He was
Speaker 1: back at it today on CBS Sports dot Com. Here's
Speaker 1: the title of the article, logs how Jaguars. Pete does
Speaker 1: not write the title. Well, he writes the lead. We'll
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment. The title is how
Speaker 1: Jaguars went from doorstep of the Super Bowl to a
Speaker 1: dysfunctional mess in just two seasons. The subtitle is the
Speaker 1: Jaguars went off script on a key third down in
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game and never right of
Speaker 1: the ship. So here's the lead. This is the first
Speaker 1: sentence of the entire story, and it's filled with commas,
Speaker 1: and it goes on and on and on. It's hard
Speaker 1: to believe one play, one simple play in a season
Speaker 1: full of deciding plays, could actually turn a franchise completely around,
Speaker 1: taking it from a team of rising young cockey players
Speaker 1: on the verge of special times to a team in disarray,
Speaker 1: with players being discarded by an angry former coach, in
Speaker 1: fighting in the locker room and a team that again
Speaker 1: has become what it's been for much of its twenty
Speaker 1: five year existence, a punching bag to the rest of
Speaker 1: the league and especially the national media. The next sentence, yes,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he
Speaker 1: goes throughout the story of about six main reasons why
Speaker 1: that was the case over the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: and and really went after the team. Well, I mean, wasn't.
Speaker 1: He's not the only one that's going after the team.
Speaker 1: There's been other articles. In fact, a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: a guy that writes for CBS Sports wrote an article
Speaker 1: that was not very complementary of the Jaguars organization, and
Speaker 1: it wasn't Pete. So, look, the reality is, you gotta win.
Speaker 1: When you when you start putting out four wins, six wins,
Speaker 1: and your success rate over the last number of years
Speaker 1: is amongst the bottom of the league, you have to
Speaker 1: change the narrative. And the only way that you change
Speaker 1: the narrative is by winning. That's it. No other way.
Speaker 1: I don't want to have articles written about you like
Speaker 1: that right when, I don't want to have other people
Speaker 1: around the league laughing at you win. Quite simple let's
Speaker 1: move on. It's quite simple. The problem about people talking
Speaker 1: about you, but changing where you are to get to
Speaker 1: the point to winning is not easy. It's not don't
Speaker 1: we know If it was easy, everybody would be doing it,
Speaker 1: and this team has not been doing it. No, it's
Speaker 1: not easy. Player voting has opened on the new labor deal.
Speaker 1: All members of the nfl p A from last season
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen league year will be eligible to vote electronically.
Speaker 1: Remains open until March twelve, that's about a week away
Speaker 1: at eleven pm Eastern time. A simple majority gets it
Speaker 1: ratified plus one to get the new CBA in effective.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Will you think it will pass?
Speaker 1: It'll pass, It'll pass at um it's very very difficult.
Speaker 1: Having having been involved actively involved with the union for
Speaker 1: many years, I was a player rep. I was a
Speaker 1: vice president, which is executive of committee member. And first
Speaker 1: of all, there are a lot of positives with this
Speaker 1: new deal. Um. Things that the players are going to
Speaker 1: receive money wise, reduction and training, um. But most importantly
Speaker 1: the increase in money. And you're talking about a significant
Speaker 1: increase in money for the guys that are on the
Speaker 1: lower end of the pay spectrum, which is that's the
Speaker 1: bulk of your vote, the rank and file players in league.
Speaker 1: That the bulk of your votes right there. So from
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, it'll pass, and as it should pass,
Speaker 1: because the only way that it doesn't pass is that
Speaker 1: you've got to have a complete player body that is
Speaker 1: willing to not play football and to not get paid
Speaker 1: for a year or two. And I don't I don't
Speaker 1: see I don't see the union and its membership willing
Speaker 1: to do that. It's hard. It's hard, JP. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're talking about the average career length on the National
Speaker 1: Football leagu is about three and a half four years.
Speaker 1: And look, you know what most guys thoughts are, I'm
Speaker 1: not giving up my chicken. I'm not sacrificing my chicken
Speaker 1: for some guy down the road. Forget it. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing it about my chicken. Speaking of chicken. Princeton, Yes,
Speaker 1: Princeton University announcing that Marshawn Lynch has been named the
Speaker 1: senior Class Day speaker in June, and Princeton promoted his
Speaker 1: quote sustained professional excellence. This is not the commencement ceremony.
Speaker 1: This is a different ceremony before the commencement. The op head,
Speaker 1: though the student newspaper came out a little later against
Speaker 1: the selection process. Uh. And of course, his notable quote
Speaker 1: after the playoff loss to the Packers last year was
Speaker 1: start taking care of y'all, mentals, your bodies, your chicken,
Speaker 1: and when you're ready to walk away, you'll walk away
Speaker 1: and be able to do what you wanna do. Let's
Speaker 1: see if um. I mean Also, it's a it's a rooster.
Speaker 1: It's all you know, it's all good advice. I guess right,
Speaker 1: We'll see what he says. He's got a great messages
Speaker 1: his Uh, it's a different way of presenting it when
Speaker 1: he starts talking about chickens and mentals and and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But I think that's actually a
Speaker 1: very interesting mix. Marshawn Lynz at at the campus of Princeton,
Speaker 1: and uh, Princeton's uh great school, and I think that
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynz would add a lot as a speaker. I
Speaker 1: think he would be very interesting and very entertaining. And
Speaker 1: I think it would be good for the student body
Speaker 1: of Princeton to hear that. We'll see what happens. But
Speaker 1: some of the student body don't necessarily think so, because
Speaker 1: some of them have been criticizing Marshawn Lynch because you're
Speaker 1: talking about bringing in a speaker who has in his past,
Speaker 1: and they made note of this in his past has
Speaker 1: refused to speak at different times. For a speaker, that's
Speaker 1: kind of one of the qualifications you need to speak first,
Speaker 1: where he sometimes instead the only time reason he wants
Speaker 1: to speak because they didn't want to get fined. But interesting, nonetheless,
Speaker 1: reports reports today our final one here. I think I
Speaker 1: saw this first in the New York Post today that
Speaker 1: ESPN is plotting a dream Monday Night Football announced Booth
Speaker 1: al Michael's and Peyton Manning could be in the fold
Speaker 1: with the ESPN. They're trying to acquire Michaels, who's under
Speaker 1: contract with NBC. Tarko's the air apparent. It seems like
Speaker 1: an NBC. Of course, the end of Michael's contract coincide
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl in l a and early now.
Speaker 1: If you remember, Al Michaels was traded basically the last
Speaker 1: time he went over to NBC, well, he was at
Speaker 1: ABC on Monday Night Football, John Madden left to go
Speaker 1: to NBC. He still had a contract, but to let
Speaker 1: him out of the contract. ESPN run by Disney wanted
Speaker 1: the Nights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit back from NBC Universal,
Speaker 1: which is the precursor character to Mickey Mouse. So they
Speaker 1: made that trade, and now Michaels went to NBC. I
Speaker 1: think the league got involved with that a little bit too.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see what happens. Could come back the other way.
Speaker 1: That would be a great Monday Night crew, It would
Speaker 1: be I would watch it more because I can tell
Speaker 1: you what I listened to last year was terrible. I did.
Speaker 1: In fact, I turned the volume off on Monday Night
Speaker 1: Football last year, and I hope that changes this year because, uh,
Speaker 1: continuing on with that is just ridiculous. Blugs, good to
Speaker 1: see it, good to be good, to be back good
Speaker 1: and uh, we'll catch you next week. You got it.
Speaker 1: Jeff Logan, J P. Shattrick, our entire crew, thank you
Speaker 1: for listening. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital
