Speaker 1: It is Thursday May. This is Jack Wise Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: Jack Wars Happy Hour is presented by Duval Motor Company.
Speaker 1: And now a guy more together than the Buckman Bridge. Wow.
Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguar's Happy Hour. Probably not a laughing matter
Speaker 1: for a lot of people on the roadways today in Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: but glad you're along with us. My name's J. P. Shadrick.
Speaker 1: Jeff Blaghaman coming up. We've got a busy program today.
Speaker 1: Organized team activities are here in practice number three was
Speaker 1: this afternoon Organized Team Activities presented by Baptist Health. We'll
Speaker 1: hear from Urban Meyer some post practice comments about how
Speaker 1: the team is coming together off the field. We'll have
Speaker 1: some comments about what happened on the field today too,
Speaker 1: and we'll hear from center Brandon Linder. We caught up
Speaker 1: right after practice today with the eighth year center for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. We'll go around the National Football League as
Speaker 1: we always do. Jeff Blackman, good afternoon, Jeff. It is
Speaker 1: a good afternoon. It's a little warm, but but a
Speaker 1: good one. I think I lost some weight today just
Speaker 1: standing out. I don't think so, No, maybe I didn't. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think you're good Okay, well there's a work in progress.
Speaker 1: You must have hydrated really well, because good, that's it.
Speaker 1: So some of the players out there looked like they
Speaker 1: were they were losing some pounds though. It was interesting
Speaker 1: they you know, this first time we've seen o t A.
Speaker 1: So the last time we were out on the field
Speaker 1: was Rookie Minicamp, right, so, and well the weather for
Speaker 1: Rookie Minicamp was just absolutely gorgeous and today, uh, temperatures,
Speaker 1: I mean when you go out to the practice field
Speaker 1: at twelve o'clock, I mean, that's right. And what I
Speaker 1: always consider the doldrums of the heat in Florida, which
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of a breeze and you
Speaker 1: don't have anything protecting you. The sun is right over
Speaker 1: top and it's hot. I mean, that's just the way
Speaker 1: it is. But look, that's always been one of the
Speaker 1: advantage of being a team in Florida is that when
Speaker 1: teams come here and they've got to come to your
Speaker 1: environment and your place and playing your heat, so you
Speaker 1: gotta get used to it. And uh, the players definitely
Speaker 1: look like they were getting used to a little bit,
Speaker 1: I would say going into today, since it was our
Speaker 1: first chance to see some of this stuff today. You
Speaker 1: want to see what Trevor is doing right. The big
Speaker 1: news story nationally is Tim Tebow? What did he look
Speaker 1: like today? And maybe some of the pieces on defense,
Speaker 1: and see how they've been working in the off season.
Speaker 1: I think those are the three real priorities for me today,
Speaker 1: at least. Well it was. It was interesting because when
Speaker 1: when you when you kind of surveyed where the media
Speaker 1: was at, because you know, the media is allowed to
Speaker 1: be on one side of the field, and for some reason,
Speaker 1: the table started to tilt towards the east. And what
Speaker 1: I mean by tilted to the east, there were a
Speaker 1: group of about twenty Okay media members there were all
Speaker 1: over to the far eastern side of the area, which
Speaker 1: where they were allowed, which also happens to be the
Speaker 1: area where the tight ends were at. Okay, so they
Speaker 1: wanted to get a first hand, up close look at
Speaker 1: the tight end group. And I'm sure part of that
Speaker 1: was Tim Tebow and uh so. But it was interesting
Speaker 1: because you know, there's like fifteen twenty of them all
Speaker 1: over there. Don't underestimate Ben Ellison. He draws a crowd.
Speaker 1: The rest of them we're kind of scattered about, you know,
Speaker 1: along the northern boundary of the field. But man, at
Speaker 1: one side, there was a whole bunch of them. And
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and saying to myself, I mean, are
Speaker 1: are you really? Are you really expending that much energy
Speaker 1: wanting to focus in on Tim Tebow when And I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to to to downplay him whatsoever, but as
Speaker 1: far as impactful players with this organization, there's somebody else
Speaker 1: on the other side of the field that's wearing number
Speaker 1: sixteen that might have a a lot bigger impact on
Speaker 1: this football team. You might want to be watching, you
Speaker 1: might is, yes, instead of watching but he first day
Speaker 1: out there, and you only get one day a week
Speaker 1: out there this year. We're not an old ten. We're
Speaker 1: only at what three o t a s of the
Speaker 1: ten and then the three day minicamp after that, so
Speaker 1: that there the options are limited to have a chance
Speaker 1: to see some of these Sure, but a lot of
Speaker 1: people are gonna be asking how to Timmy look? Let
Speaker 1: me ask you Timmy look? Uh. And I didn't spend
Speaker 1: all of my time over there like some others that
Speaker 1: might have a better opinion on By mean, I watched
Speaker 1: him a little bit when it was more in a
Speaker 1: team setting to see how he did, and he looks
Speaker 1: like he's a player that's making a position switch and
Speaker 1: that's trying to find his way, you know, which means
Speaker 1: that uh, compared to some of the other tight ends
Speaker 1: that that are more veteran, he looked a little slower,
Speaker 1: a little bit kind of trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1: But you know, that's to be expected for a guy
Speaker 1: who hasn't played, you know, at ball and quite some time,
Speaker 1: has never really played the position for the most part.
Speaker 1: So uh, But he gave great effort and you can
Speaker 1: tell that he he had the attention there and he
Speaker 1: was trying to get better and working hard. I mean, so,
Speaker 1: I mean, all those things were there and and those
Speaker 1: are the things that you always knew about it. But
Speaker 1: as I said, there's other areas of this football team
Speaker 1: that I think are going to have a much bigger
Speaker 1: impact on this team's success going forward than number eighty five.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's hear from head coach Urban Meyer. This
Speaker 1: is the organized team activities portion of the off season
Speaker 1: Phase three. How's it going with this team camaraderie off
Speaker 1: the field. If you said in January, what would be
Speaker 1: your ideal vision of what the team looked like in
Speaker 1: what is May. And once again, I'm not talking about execution.
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about camaraderie, ownership, work, ethic, sports, performance,
Speaker 1: changing bodies, health of players. You know, I'd great at
Speaker 1: an A plus. I can't be more happy with everybody
Speaker 1: talks about the draft and free agency. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: let people forget there's a great core group of players
Speaker 1: in the Jaguars organization that want to win, and um,
Speaker 1: it's our coach's job to give them an opportunity to win.
Speaker 1: So they're all here. They all enjoy being around each other,
Speaker 1: they enjoy being around the staff. And uh, it's been
Speaker 1: it's been really good. That's a good sign. Ninety players
Speaker 1: were here today. Everybody in the roster was here. And
Speaker 1: there are a few teams around the league that are
Speaker 1: they don't have anywhere close to that. The Browns I
Speaker 1: don't think had anybody or you know, single digits players
Speaker 1: coming in because J C. Traders there. You know, he's
Speaker 1: the player rep. So uh, they're here, which is uh,
Speaker 1: you know what urban I think the organization would like
Speaker 1: to change the culture and have those guys around here
Speaker 1: as much as possible. Well, and uh and I think
Speaker 1: it's smart for players to be in attendance. UM. And
Speaker 1: I was a Union guy, and I understand that j
Speaker 1: C traders than National Football Players Association, UH, president, and
Speaker 1: understand it. Look, he's obviously discouraged the Brown's players from
Speaker 1: participating in the O t A and good. I mean,
Speaker 1: if that's his progative, that's his progative. But I think
Speaker 1: there's value of having teammates work together and be together.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I was a vice president of
Speaker 1: Union when I when I played, so I differ a
Speaker 1: little bit. Especially I differ a little bit because when
Speaker 1: it comes to putting yourself at risk, UH, there's no
Speaker 1: protection when you work out on your own or you
Speaker 1: choose to not be a part of what the team
Speaker 1: is doing. So but look, I was impressed with the
Speaker 1: day they had high energy. I think the thing that
Speaker 1: impressed me the most JP was I mean, you kind
Speaker 1: of kept saying this a few different times while we
Speaker 1: were standing together for a period of the practice that
Speaker 1: we were watching. We were saying, get off the ground,
Speaker 1: get off the ground, off the ground. There was the energy,
Speaker 1: of course, and I consider that a little something. It's energy, yes,
Speaker 1: but it's also it's it's the competitive aspect. And really,
Speaker 1: when you're when you're training in the off season and
Speaker 1: you're part of the off season team activities, you have
Speaker 1: to really kind of walk a fine line. You want
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're being careful, but at the
Speaker 1: same token, you want to have your players be competitive.
Speaker 1: And uh, and I think they're okay. And I think
Speaker 1: that obviously as they go along, they'll they'll learn the
Speaker 1: pace and the tempo and and be a little bit
Speaker 1: better at protecting each other and and uh and things
Speaker 1: of that nature. But I thought it was good. I
Speaker 1: thought it was good. And because you know, you don't
Speaker 1: get better unless you get players that are willing to
Speaker 1: compete against each other. That's how you get better. What's
Speaker 1: the old line, it's better to say woe than getting up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's an old thing. You can't uh teach a
Speaker 1: you know, a dog how to fight, and the fights
Speaker 1: either in the dog or not, you know. So uh,
Speaker 1: as Lawrence Taylor, I used to always say when he
Speaker 1: was on the field, be like a crazy all go
Speaker 1: out there when he'd be like doing his park thing
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it was good. It was fun to watch today, and
Speaker 1: it was great to see everybody out there. I thought
Speaker 1: that Trevor Lawrence had an okay day. It wasn't an
Speaker 1: exceptional day. There were times that he looked really good.
Speaker 1: Urban said they worked a lot of red zone today
Speaker 1: and just kind of okay. It wasn't you know, but
Speaker 1: you know, and and a lot of people may look
Speaker 1: at that and go, wow, you know, well, you want
Speaker 1: your first overall pick to be better than the red zone.
Speaker 1: I'll say this throughout the course of practice, his throws
Speaker 1: and his timing and his placement of the ball is
Speaker 1: really good. One of the areas that are that's harder
Speaker 1: to master for quarterback a couple of things. One is
Speaker 1: the red field because the field shrinks, windows get smaller, time,
Speaker 1: everything gets sped up. And then also the two minute draws.
Speaker 1: I mean, those are the things that I think are
Speaker 1: more challenging for a quarterback making that transition from the
Speaker 1: College of the pros, because it's hard are already move
Speaker 1: into the pros because the windows are already smaller. Well,
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they get even smaller in
Speaker 1: the red zone because the field shrinks a little bit.
Speaker 1: And then the time obviously is spit up and then
Speaker 1: the two minute drill because it's, uh, it's kind of
Speaker 1: a change constantly on the go. So I mean those
Speaker 1: are things that will come around. And Trevor Lawrence is
Speaker 1: not going to have a growth curve without bumps. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just even the great ones had difficult times earlier
Speaker 1: in their career, and I'm not saying that he's going
Speaker 1: to have a difficult time. I think that he's going
Speaker 1: to have a little bit easier time of it than
Speaker 1: some of the other quarterbacks because he has a mobility factor.
Speaker 1: And then you also have the ability to tailor some
Speaker 1: of your play calling in in the NFL has embraced
Speaker 1: some of the the r p O and the read
Speaker 1: option principles in the game, whereas you go back to
Speaker 1: some other errors in the NFL, they didn't embrace those things,
Speaker 1: and so quarterbacks just kind of had to to learn
Speaker 1: right away to function in the pocket and didn't have
Speaker 1: the ability to use, Okay, let's run some of the
Speaker 1: things that I had in college to help me along
Speaker 1: the way, where Trevor Laiss is going to have some
Speaker 1: of that ability because now a public address announcer of
Speaker 1: practice too sounds like Fernando Lovo is the chief of staff,
Speaker 1: and he uh during practice, uh says what's next and
Speaker 1: counts down the clock, just so guys are aware one
Speaker 1: least thing to have to think about. It kind of
Speaker 1: cuts down on the screaming from coaches to go where
Speaker 1: they're going next. And I think it also helps organize
Speaker 1: the coaches a little bit, probably because the coaches know
Speaker 1: where they need to be or not to be. And
Speaker 1: I can tell you this is a many players that
Speaker 1: played the game. If they heard that, they would probably
Speaker 1: have a lot of fun with him throughout practice. For example,
Speaker 1: he's giving you a countdown, you know, how much time
Speaker 1: is allowed to or left remaining in the period. You'd
Speaker 1: be probably yelling from somewhere how much time is it? Again?
Speaker 1: From how much you'd be that guy? And then Uh,
Speaker 1: there's another thing he says, you know, hydrate, hydrate. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a period where they want them to hydrate, so
Speaker 1: they're drinking a lot. And then there's another one that's
Speaker 1: like a it's a shorter, more abbreviated water break, and
Speaker 1: it's called rents. And so that begs the natural comment
Speaker 1: a Fernando, if it rents, I can't I can't drink it,
Speaker 1: do I have spit it out. I mean, just things
Speaker 1: like that. You would have a lot of fun with
Speaker 1: them on that. But but I think it's good and
Speaker 1: that it keeps things on tempo, on pace, and on schedule,
Speaker 1: and uh, it makes the players very aware and it
Speaker 1: kind of gives a little bit of the impression that
Speaker 1: things are always high energy and that you know, you're
Speaker 1: trying to keep that tempo and finished strong. And he's
Speaker 1: and he's always encouraging. Hey, look he's making statements like
Speaker 1: when you're not on if you're not on the field,
Speaker 1: get the mental reps, things of that nature to kind
Speaker 1: of reinforce how you can get better not just by
Speaker 1: being on the field, but being better as a team,
Speaker 1: being better by not just necessarily taking the snaps themselves.
Speaker 1: So I thought thought it was pretty cool. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of I just thought of this. Actually, the Jaguars
Speaker 1: practiced at Bartram Trail High School during training camp. I
Speaker 1: remember that, and guess who is the public address announcer
Speaker 1: going through the practice schedule on the on the p
Speaker 1: A system. Who? Because I would go through it and
Speaker 1: up next to seven on seven, I explained to the
Speaker 1: crowd what it was and this and that that's exactly
Speaker 1: what it is. I don't know why I just thought
Speaker 1: of that, but you didn't have motivational things kind of
Speaker 1: plus two take it to level eleven, get the rents here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that was interested. I just had I had visions
Speaker 1: in my mind of some of the the guys that
Speaker 1: I played with and we're around that didn't necessarily play with,
Speaker 1: but it was around as uh in the role that
Speaker 1: I do now, the brand barriers, the Kyle Brady's, how
Speaker 1: much fun that they would have had with with that.
Speaker 1: It was an interesting scene today though. I mean it
Speaker 1: was exciting because you're out there and you're on the
Speaker 1: same field with Irvan Meyer and Trevor Lawrence, Tim Tebow
Speaker 1: and Travis et In and then all the rest of
Speaker 1: stars and that have been around here on defense already.
Speaker 1: So I think the one thing is definitely is that, look,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a new culture. And make no mistake
Speaker 1: about it, that things are things are different and they
Speaker 1: always they always, and a lot of people say that
Speaker 1: when you have a change of the staff, and that's
Speaker 1: natural because this team and this organization obviously needed to
Speaker 1: change the direction where it was at and where it
Speaker 1: was going wasn't gonna work. And so I think the
Speaker 1: most important thing is that it just it feels better.
Speaker 1: And on top of feeling better, it looks better. And
Speaker 1: when you watch sixteen and you've you've seen where sixteen
Speaker 1: has been and where you believe that he can go
Speaker 1: while bringing others along with him, you feel like that
Speaker 1: this organization has a chance at great things. And it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. But with urban Meyer at the
Speaker 1: home and and there's a lot of there's a lot
Speaker 1: of talk and a lot of positiveness that has been
Speaker 1: created from this and it's all real, and it's all real,
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for it. I mean, I haven't been
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a while since I've been excited
Speaker 1: about this football team. And I'm excited to see what
Speaker 1: they can do this year. And obviously it's not gonna
Speaker 1: happen overnight, but it's it's gonna be a little bit
Speaker 1: of a process. And I don't want to use that
Speaker 1: term that because people grow frustrated with it because it
Speaker 1: gets used too often. But it's gonna take some time,
Speaker 1: but uh, it's gonna happen. I just believe that is
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Brandon Lender is now on his third head
Speaker 1: coach and we will hear from the Jaguars Center when
Speaker 1: we come back. He's in his eighth NFL season. Did
Speaker 1: you have the dump button? When you have interviewed him,
Speaker 1: Lender likes to fire off a few expletives. He is
Speaker 1: not shy about pulling the trigger on some of those
Speaker 1: from time to time. Let's say that are you playing
Speaker 1: the clean version? I believe we're gonna run a clean version.
Speaker 1: We'll find out when we come back. If you're looking

Speaker 1: I would happen to be at a Robert Randolph concert
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, a year or two ago, now,
Speaker 1: I guess his rookie season. It was at the Florida
Speaker 1: Theater and it was unfortunately not well attended. It was
Speaker 1: like during the middle of the week and it just
Speaker 1: didn't hit you know, but it was probably five people
Speaker 1: in the place, and all of a sudden addle the concert. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring out my good friend of one Taylor
Speaker 1: on stage. What do you what in the world? And
Speaker 1: Joan Taylor play some drums on this next song and
Speaker 1: he played drum. He was very good, yes, because they
Speaker 1: grew up in the same church together, stay down down
Speaker 1: the road here, and so they their families knew each other,
Speaker 1: they knew each other from the old days. And the
Speaker 1: only thing right in he was great A little a
Speaker 1: little teas here that he was asked the question by
Speaker 1: Johnny Ozone who he thinks is like the greatest drummer ever,
Speaker 1: you know? And I was disappointed personally to not hear
Speaker 1: that John Bottom, Yeah was not mentioned. Yeah, but if
Speaker 1: you want to find out whose favorite drummer is, tune
Speaker 1: in tomorrow on the Official Jaguars podcast network. Let's hear
Speaker 1: from Brandon Lender. It's his eighth season in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. You can't see a lot without pads on
Speaker 1: right now. Obviously on the offensive line though, helmets on.
Speaker 1: But they can't hit, can't hit yet. And but everybody's back.
Speaker 1: We'll hear what Lender thinks of that about Urban fire,
Speaker 1: who walked through our interview in fact, and much more
Speaker 1: from Brandon Lender. Jaguars Center. Jaguars Center Brandon Lender with
Speaker 1: us after O t a number three A hot one today,
Speaker 1: it felt like, but take us. I mean, there's ninety guys.
Speaker 1: Everybody's here around the league. A lot of teams can't
Speaker 1: say that. Why is that? And what's the energy feel
Speaker 1: like inside the locker room? Oh? Well, I mean I
Speaker 1: think we got a young team. Um, you know, a
Speaker 1: new coaching staff, so obviously you've got guys coming in, uh,
Speaker 1: trying to get better and show their value. Um. It's
Speaker 1: been exciting, man. You could see the culture changing. You
Speaker 1: could feel the culture changing. Um. And I mean everyone's
Speaker 1: ready to work and get this thing moving in the
Speaker 1: right direction. You're in your eighth season. I mean you
Speaker 1: don't have to be here so personally for you, why
Speaker 1: are you around? Uh? You know I'm here because everyone
Speaker 1: else is in here. You know, I'm with the team,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to build this cohesion. Um. And I
Speaker 1: mean I live here already, so heck, might as well
Speaker 1: come in. I could be on a boat, but hey,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not coming and get my work. It's time
Speaker 1: for the boat a little later in the summer. All right,
Speaker 1: let's let's get to the quarterback room. So far, that's
Speaker 1: obviously a very important, uh friendship relationship you have to
Speaker 1: build with Trevor Lawrence. How it is Trevor so far
Speaker 1: to deal with and the first few weeks around him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've had. I've had a couple of conversations with him. Um,
Speaker 1: great kid, obviously, he's one everywhere he's been. Uh you
Speaker 1: can see you know, I mean he throws a damn
Speaker 1: good ball now. Um, but I haven't had too much
Speaker 1: work with him on the field. Uh, just been a
Speaker 1: little bit. But no, it's exciting, man. I mean the
Speaker 1: kids want everywhere he's been and he's a great, great talent,
Speaker 1: so I know everyone's excited to get you know, get
Speaker 1: it wrong. There's a draft pick on the offensive line
Speaker 1: as well. Walker Little. You probably are a little closer
Speaker 1: to him. I would say, since he's in that room,
Speaker 1: what do you make a Walker so far? I mean,
Speaker 1: a good kid comes to work, you know, wants to work.
Speaker 1: And right now, you know, he doesn't say much. He's
Speaker 1: just soaking it all up, and I mean that's what
Speaker 1: you should do as a rookie. But now he's good.
Speaker 1: I mean you can see already see the progress in
Speaker 1: his feet, in hands, So he's doing great. It seems
Speaker 1: like there's confidence in the offensive lind since all the
Speaker 1: shorters are back and the the offensive line coach George
Speaker 1: warhops back. What did that tell you about last year's
Speaker 1: performance as a group and then keeping it together. Keeping
Speaker 1: that cohesion is how important is that for an offensive
Speaker 1: lind to be back together? Yeah, I mean it's huge. Um.
Speaker 1: I was so excited when find out that warhops you know,
Speaker 1: gonna be staying. And then obviously you know, we got
Speaker 1: all the same guys in that room. Um, I mean
Speaker 1: we're fired up. You know we were. It's a tight
Speaker 1: it's a tight group, tight room. We hang out outside
Speaker 1: the building. I mean we're truly you know, friends, and
Speaker 1: we truly love each other. So I know we're excited
Speaker 1: and we're excited to set the tone starting with starting
Speaker 1: with our you know group. All right, Urban Meyer is
Speaker 1: he has advertised you hear about him. You've seen him
Speaker 1: on TV. You know, you've won a lot of football
Speaker 1: games in his past. What's he like in this building
Speaker 1: as the head coach. He's been doing great here is
Speaker 1: right now now, he's been changing the culture. Um, I
Speaker 1: mean it's been great again. That's a guy who's won.
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's one everywhere. He's got you know,
Speaker 1: he's got a successful formula. So I mean there ain't
Speaker 1: no question here. Everyone's bought in. Everyone's all in, and
Speaker 1: I mean he's a he's a player's coach. You know,
Speaker 1: he's given us the best something we haven't had around
Speaker 1: here in a while. Um, he's given us everything we
Speaker 1: need to succeed. But in return, you know, he's he's
Speaker 1: gonna ask it out of us, right, you know we
Speaker 1: got when we get on that field, we're ready to work.
Speaker 1: And that's the whole mentality that he's been that he's
Speaker 1: been driving home. So No, it's been great. I'm fired up.
Speaker 1: And yeah, he's huge on the performance side of things,
Speaker 1: athletic training, recovery, all that. Not that it wasn't an
Speaker 1: importance before, but it seems like there's more of a
Speaker 1: focus and a little more time spent at the start
Speaker 1: of practice uncertain things. Yeah, definitely performed performance orientated. Um
Speaker 1: again giving us the best you know, dry needling. Uh,
Speaker 1: everyone in the training room, showing in the in the
Speaker 1: weight rooms, is showing their value and helping us succeed
Speaker 1: and get us in the get us where we need
Speaker 1: to be. You know, um dialed in when we get
Speaker 1: out there, so we can again go out there and
Speaker 1: go hard and perform. You gotta ask an elephant in
Speaker 1: the room, how's Tim so far? Tim Tebow, have you
Speaker 1: have you dealt with him so much much yet? And
Speaker 1: what's he like in that longer Yeah, I know, I've
Speaker 1: had a couple of conversations with Tim again, another guy
Speaker 1: that's coming here to show his value, and I mean
Speaker 1: I love it. I mean why not, I don't you know,
Speaker 1: you hear you hear this and that, But why not
Speaker 1: you know, come giving another shot. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: can help us, that's great. I love it, you know so,
Speaker 1: And he he brings a lot of leadership qualities and
Speaker 1: you know, you can pick his brain. He's been he's
Speaker 1: been around long enough, and he's done a bunch of
Speaker 1: different things that he kind of has different experiences than
Speaker 1: most most players have had. So that's something that you
Speaker 1: can tap into and learn from. You got about three
Speaker 1: weeks left in this offseason program. What as a team
Speaker 1: do you guys have to get done in the next
Speaker 1: three weeks? Is there a checklist you guys still have
Speaker 1: to do, you know, as a team captain and a
Speaker 1: leader around this team, Yeah, I mean there's I think
Speaker 1: again we just following just building this culture, right that's
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do right now, and that we're
Speaker 1: trying to lay the groundwork and you know, what we're
Speaker 1: preaching out there is fundamentals and that's what we've been doing.
Speaker 1: And you know, so there's nothing that's glaring. It's just
Speaker 1: getting everyone on the same page. The cohesion right and uh,
Speaker 1: just understanding what the culture is gonna be and you know,
Speaker 1: how we want to play. So that's what we're trying
Speaker 1: to replicate out there. Great stuff. Appreciate your time and
Speaker 1: appreciate it. JA. That's Brandon Lender Jaguar's Center his eighth
Speaker 1: NFL season. Always pretty good visit with Brandon when he's
Speaker 1: locked in and ready. He's not a huge media guy
Speaker 1: during the season. It's just kind of been his which
Speaker 1: is fine. He'll talk, but it's it's this is this
Speaker 1: is the time of year where you can get some
Speaker 1: things out of Brandon. I think he's really act, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like a lot of players are.
Speaker 1: You know, when you get in the season, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you've won one out of fifteen, it's kind
Speaker 1: of hard to have a conversation. I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk to him either at that point. Now he's look,
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player, and the only thing
Speaker 1: that's that's holding Brandon Lender back. That has held him
Speaker 1: back is availability in the past. If he can stay healthy,
Speaker 1: he is a is a really good football player for
Speaker 1: this football team. When he has not been able to
Speaker 1: be healthy, obviously, that's a that's the one negative, part
Speaker 1: two or aspect to Brandon Lender. And that's why Tyler
Speaker 1: Shatley has been pretty valuable over the last couple of
Speaker 1: years here is because he's been able to fill in
Speaker 1: when Brandon hasn't been available. You know, a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, Brandon played all sixteen games. You only credited
Speaker 1: a lot of the uh ability to stay durable to
Speaker 1: some of the yoga and the things that he started
Speaker 1: doing as far as strength and flexib build a plates
Speaker 1: and stuff. He's doing all that stuff, and then last
Speaker 1: year he's still doing all those things, but it just
Speaker 1: didn't it just didn't happen. He got he got nicked
Speaker 1: and and missed some time again. So I hope he's
Speaker 1: able to stay healthy for this football team because this
Speaker 1: is a much better football team with Brandon Lenner in
Speaker 1: in the lineup and healthy. Let's come back. We'll hear

Speaker 1: it's a lot of differences. I mean, it's still football,
Speaker 1: um since it's been a lot of fun to get
Speaker 1: out there with all the new guys and you know,
Speaker 1: new teammates and kind of get used to everyone. So
Speaker 1: that's been fun. But it's just different. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: a pro now and just the way people handle their business,
Speaker 1: the expectations, all those things in a good way. You know,
Speaker 1: you're just expected to to, you know, be prepared and
Speaker 1: play at a high level because this is this is
Speaker 1: our job now. So it's been a cool adjustment for me.
Speaker 1: That's Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars quarterback on NFL Network earlier this
Speaker 1: week and Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour j P. Shadick
Speaker 1: with Jeff Lagman. Yeah, Trevor and making the national media rounds.
Speaker 1: He was under the Dan Patrick Show today NFL Network
Speaker 1: was on an AP football podcast earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: and just so he's getting out there a little bit
Speaker 1: and rightly. So you're gonna see him all over the
Speaker 1: place in this off season. And he's the number one
Speaker 1: overall pick. So he is a star. He's a big
Speaker 1: conversation piece. And yeah, he's uh, you know. The one
Speaker 1: thing I kept thinking when I was watching him today,
Speaker 1: because you know, he's young, comes into the NFL and
Speaker 1: he what are the listing that heighthwight Trevor Lawrence is
Speaker 1: six twenty, that's the listing, all right? Uh if he's
Speaker 1: two twenty and I don't know about Yeah, they got
Speaker 1: him on two twenty, and you know he's he might
Speaker 1: be to twenty. But I I see him a year
Speaker 1: or two down the road being a little bit more
Speaker 1: um thicker up top, you know, weighing two thirty pounds,
Speaker 1: but not really losing any speed because of it. I think,
Speaker 1: I think the natural way that that the body matures.
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of players change when they
Speaker 1: when they get into that three year old range. It
Speaker 1: may be a different weight program to you know. Sure,
Speaker 1: And then like like he was talking about how this
Speaker 1: is a job now well, I mean when it becomes
Speaker 1: a job, you know, obviously all your folks and attention
Speaker 1: on is on playing quarterbacks biology class. Yeah, so, um,
Speaker 1: I look, I think he's gonna be a Marlins football player,
Speaker 1: and I think that obviously the environment you want to
Speaker 1: have around him as good as you possibly can have
Speaker 1: it to help the success that he's gonna have. But
Speaker 1: I envisioned him at some point being a classic in
Speaker 1: the pocket quarterback that has you know, spark mind, can
Speaker 1: make the reads, can make the throws. But I think
Speaker 1: early on he's gonna be a little bit more dynamic
Speaker 1: as far as they'll utilize some of the things that
Speaker 1: he can do with his legs so that they can
Speaker 1: kind of help the learning curve in the pocket, so
Speaker 1: function while he's functioned as a team and being effective
Speaker 1: from the quarterback position doing other things that's just besides
Speaker 1: just being a drop back quarterback, pocket passer. And that's good.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of quarterbacks that they have
Speaker 1: done that. You know, you let them do some things
Speaker 1: with their mobility while they learn to be better in
Speaker 1: the pocket, and it's a natural transition. Early on they
Speaker 1: run a little bit more. Later on, they run a
Speaker 1: little bit less and do better from the pocket. So
Speaker 1: that's just the natural I think progression that he's going
Speaker 1: to be on we here. Brandon Lender earlier say he
Speaker 1: hasn't had a lot of on field work with him
Speaker 1: yet because he is still somewhat limited. He's not able
Speaker 1: to take snaps from center yet and hand the ball off.
Speaker 1: So they're trying to protect that left shoulder, the surgically
Speaker 1: repaired one, and it's more caution area I think at
Speaker 1: this point. But it sounds like as the weeks here
Speaker 1: go on, maybe by many camp he could be close
Speaker 1: to That's what I think he's gonna He's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: I don't think the shoulder is going to be an
Speaker 1: impediment to his development whatsoever. I don't think. I think
Speaker 1: it's a non factor. They're just being cautious and that's
Speaker 1: that's smart. The other thing that I like how they're
Speaker 1: doing in practice, they're spreading the reps around so that
Speaker 1: no one quarterback is you know, they're not sitting there
Speaker 1: making Trevor Lawrence take all the reps now because they're
Speaker 1: trying to get them ready to be the starter. I mean,
Speaker 1: Minshew's still getting reps and Luton still getting reps and
Speaker 1: beth Ord's getting reps, and they're actually doing something where
Speaker 1: they rolled it along fast sometimes where they break it
Speaker 1: up and they're like four different groups and then they
Speaker 1: have kind of all four quarterbacks and one goes, the
Speaker 1: next goes, the next goes, the next goes. And you know,
Speaker 1: because you're when you're in uh an o t A
Speaker 1: and you've got ninety people, you've got enough numbers to
Speaker 1: where you can have a lot of people and a
Speaker 1: lot of groups working at the same time. So it's
Speaker 1: not a matter of forcing reps and trying to make
Speaker 1: make have reps just for the sake of having reps.
Speaker 1: They're still making quality reps about it. I like the
Speaker 1: way that some of the practices are organized to make
Speaker 1: sure that everybody's getting a lot of reps. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then then yeah and then once uh that's would be
Speaker 1: the case of the next three weeks too. I don't
Speaker 1: think they would change that approach now. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is the time of year for that. No, and you're
Speaker 1: not training camp. You'll you'll divvy it up a little
Speaker 1: more closer to games and scores later in training camp.
Speaker 1: You'll get your starters some more time, and with O
Speaker 1: T A, you're you're not you're limiting how much eleven
Speaker 1: on eleven that you're doing in practice. So uh, that's uh,
Speaker 1: you know that's not really allowed yet so to speak.
Speaker 1: So um, you know, so I think it's it's a
Speaker 1: it's a work in progress and and they will gradually
Speaker 1: start to do more and uh and progressively move forward
Speaker 1: with some of their their play installation, playbook installation, both
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. So look, and let's
Speaker 1: not forget there's a defensive side of the ball of
Speaker 1: this football team too. I was about to bring that up.
Speaker 1: We haven't really gone on that side of the ball
Speaker 1: in this program today, but initial impressions today, they had
Speaker 1: a pretty good day at the office and the red
Speaker 1: zone today, I'll say that. But you know it's an
Speaker 1: O T A number three. The defense, I thought it
Speaker 1: looked pretty good, had lots of energy, and I Joe
Speaker 1: Cullen has always been a high energy coach. I've missed
Speaker 1: that voice in the practice field. I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 1: And I'm a people probably know I'm a big Joe
Speaker 1: Clin fan. I always have been, even when he was
Speaker 1: a defensive line coach here when he he termed changed
Speaker 1: the name of defensive lineman to rushmen. And as far
Speaker 1: as I know that, that's not still the case here.
Speaker 1: It's he's got they've got a defensive line coach. It's
Speaker 1: not a rushman coach. But I understand his way of
Speaker 1: thinking there. But you know, it's it's fun watching and
Speaker 1: practice because you know, he's a first year defensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: In the first year defensive coordinator, you're still trying to
Speaker 1: to figure out. And I remember talking to some other
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators that have done this, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what was your first year like? And they're always like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to figure out what to do.
Speaker 1: You know, because if you don't have a position group
Speaker 1: and you're the defensive coordinator, you're like, all right, so
Speaker 1: they're all broken up in a position drills. What do
Speaker 1: I do? You know? Do I go hang out with
Speaker 1: the defensive backs? Do I go hang out with the linebackers?
Speaker 1: Do I hang out with the defensive line? And Joe
Speaker 1: he hangs out with all of them, but he also
Speaker 1: drifts towards that defensive line because I mean, that's his
Speaker 1: comfort zone and and and it's totally cool. But when
Speaker 1: he gets into the team type type of teaching drills,
Speaker 1: he I think he's doing a really good job of
Speaker 1: communicating with all the position groups, and I like his
Speaker 1: energy and and he's made the comments to the team
Speaker 1: out there on the practice field that, look, we can
Speaker 1: lead the league and effort, and that is true. If
Speaker 1: you can, if you can give great effort, you always
Speaker 1: have a chance. And and that's I think certainly will
Speaker 1: be one of the calling cards of this Jaguars defense
Speaker 1: led by Joe Colin. I'm excited to see at some
Speaker 1: point this secondary kind of settle in, you know, when
Speaker 1: we figure out who might be the lead dogs in
Speaker 1: that secondary. We're not quite there yet. It's earlier. Some
Speaker 1: guys off to the side right now. You know, a
Speaker 1: lot of guys off to the side, a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that side, a lot of new faces back there.
Speaker 1: Who really sticks when we say guys off to the side,
Speaker 1: Guys that are not practicing because you know, maybe they
Speaker 1: had a nick or an injury or something of that nature.
Speaker 1: We don't know because obviously it's offseason and they're not
Speaker 1: telling us. Also, and so it's got a knee and
Speaker 1: he's got an ankle and then we don't get that
Speaker 1: stuff and it's not our job to report it. But
Speaker 1: there's a there are some guys that are not playing
Speaker 1: and practice and or not practicing, so that obviously, um,
Speaker 1: you'd like to have him healthy when they go to
Speaker 1: training camp and not be worried so much about now.
Speaker 1: But that's there. There's a lot of work to do
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. And I say
Speaker 1: there's a lot of work to do. I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do to find out who's
Speaker 1: gonna be your starters number one and number two, how's
Speaker 1: your rotation gonna work, and how you know, will your
Speaker 1: defense rotate with the scheme that you will be playing,
Speaker 1: because this is gonna be a blended defense where they
Speaker 1: play some three four and some four three, which for
Speaker 1: the most part it's kind of the same, but you
Speaker 1: can put different personnel groupings out there to kind of
Speaker 1: have an emphasis only and lean either way. So but
Speaker 1: there's a lot there's a lot to be determined, you know,
Speaker 1: from who's playing along the defensive line, who's going to
Speaker 1: be playing in the linebacker spots, because I think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be some strong competition at that linebacker spot. And
Speaker 1: I'm talking I think all of them, with the exception
Speaker 1: of two guys. I mean, and if you're playing three four,
Speaker 1: I think you know Josh Allen is obviously going to
Speaker 1: be a starter and he's gonna be a real good player.
Speaker 1: And Miles Jack, I think there's no doubt that he's
Speaker 1: going to be a starter. And I think the rest
Speaker 1: of them, I think they're all gonna be competing Cale
Speaker 1: monchs on Joe Schober, They're gonna be competing for playtime.
Speaker 1: There's guys that are on this roster that have been
Speaker 1: brought in that will compete with some of these guys
Speaker 1: for playing time and defensive line. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: so much important or so important. It's not so much
Speaker 1: about who's starting. It's a matter who's gonna be rotating
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be playing multiple guys. That's just a
Speaker 1: sign of Joe Cohen, give me great effort, go ahunter
Speaker 1: Miles an hour, and then let's get another fresh guy
Speaker 1: in there and get a break for that guy, and
Speaker 1: then we rolling, We keep rolling them waves. Single game

Speaker 1: the Jaguars. So congratulations to those two in order. They
Speaker 1: are rock stars in this office, and rock star when
Speaker 1: you say that, rock stars to the people that work here.
Speaker 1: Because both Kelly and Mega have great respect and great
Speaker 1: I mean I'm I mean great respect and the work
Speaker 1: that they do. And congratulations to both of them, very
Speaker 1: well deserved. And I don't remember them getting much time away.
Speaker 1: It's like they're always on, you know, if there's a
Speaker 1: text or an email or something. It's pretty quick spots
Speaker 1: all the time. And they got it almost twenty four
Speaker 1: hours a day, and they really work hard. Let's go
Speaker 1: around the National Football League. Boy former Jaguars executive has
Speaker 1: now been hired. Bloggs, who Dave Caldwell, is now a
Speaker 1: personnel executive for the Philadelphia Eagles, announced today working for
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman. Yes, and uh, they they have. There's been
Speaker 1: reports that have come out of Philadelphia about ownership and
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman and uh, some people getting active in a
Speaker 1: role maybe that they necessarily shouldn't be involved in. So
Speaker 1: I mean, good for day. I'm glad he got a job.
Speaker 1: I always wish people to stay employed and continue the
Speaker 1: work that they love to do. And Dave obviously loves
Speaker 1: personnel in the National Football League and and I hope
Speaker 1: things work out in philip Philadelphia for him, And uh,
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation there and Philly is gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: this year, that's for sure. You don't think Hurts is
Speaker 1: just gonna win it out right, Well, I mean he may,
Speaker 1: I mean because right now there's not a whole lot
Speaker 1: of competition with him, right, you know, But is he
Speaker 1: the long term answer? I don't know. I thought that
Speaker 1: they were a little bit premature and giving Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: the contract that he got, which obviously has been proven
Speaker 1: to beat for a very accurate and that they shouldn't
Speaker 1: have given him at that point in that stage. But nonetheless, look,
Speaker 1: I always hope the Eagles do well because the Eagles
Speaker 1: are close second to the Jaguars when it comes to
Speaker 1: Joe Fortunato's heart. That's true. Yeah, he is uh Philly
Speaker 1: born and raised. The Atlanta Falcons have been in discussions
Speaker 1: with a few teams, apparently for Julio Jones wide receiver,
Speaker 1: and reports say that it includes an offer for a
Speaker 1: future first round draft pick and that the deal could
Speaker 1: happen as early as next week. Well it could, I
Speaker 1: mean a future first round pick that may or may
Speaker 1: not happen because there's a price tag associated with Julio
Speaker 1: Jones as far as the money that he's gonna make
Speaker 1: this year, and most of the reports out there state
Speaker 1: that the the amount paid to acquire Julio Jones will
Speaker 1: also depend upon how much of the contract that the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons pay. So, in other words, let's say he's
Speaker 1: guaranteed fifteen I think the number of fifteen or six
Speaker 1: his base salaries fifteen three. Okay, So let's say the
Speaker 1: Falcons say, hey, look, we're gonna trade Julio to so
Speaker 1: team out there, Jacksonville Jaguars, and we're gonna pay eight
Speaker 1: million of the fifteen point three. That way, it's only
Speaker 1: gonna cost you seven. Then the Jaguars might be willing
Speaker 1: to give up more and draft pick compensation because the
Speaker 1: price that they actually have to pay Julio Jones is
Speaker 1: not that much, whereas if the Eagles only want to
Speaker 1: be willing or not the Eagles, but the Falcons may
Speaker 1: only be willing to pay let's say five million, maybe
Speaker 1: the draft compensation drops because they're not willing to pay
Speaker 1: a much of the contract. So that's kind of got
Speaker 1: an interesting thing there, because it not only involves it's
Speaker 1: not just a matter of about acquiring a great player,
Speaker 1: but it's also has a financial aspect that is kind
Speaker 1: of tied into what the compensation willer won't be. So
Speaker 1: that's gonna be interesting watch. He uh. He signed a
Speaker 1: three year, sixty six million dollar contract with the Falcons
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars signing bone as sixty four million guarantee.
Speaker 1: He's made a lot of money and he's been a
Speaker 1: great player JP, but he's been hurt the last couple
Speaker 1: of years up and they he couldn't find the end
Speaker 1: zone a lot a couple of years ago. Either she
Speaker 1: hasn't and so make no mistake of that. It's not
Speaker 1: like you're getting a sure fired all pro guy, which
Speaker 1: he's been in the past. I mean he he hasn't
Speaker 1: played or hasn't been available quite a bit. And he's
Speaker 1: thirty two years old this year. Also, at some point
Speaker 1: the play might deteriorate down the stretch of Tim Tebows
Speaker 1: thirty three. And here you are saying, Julio Jones getting
Speaker 1: old at thirty two. You always I gotta see this point.
Speaker 1: I'll say that I gotta say this about Tim Tebow.
Speaker 1: He physically, he is in great shape. Got the cat's
Speaker 1: been hitting the weight room now and I know you
Speaker 1: probably don't like that term cat. The guy has been
Speaker 1: hitting the weight room. He's buff. There's a photo that
Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterback put out from practice today on their
Speaker 1: Twitter account. Check it out because he is yoked. It
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Definitely out logs. He is listed, by the way,
Speaker 1: since we're on this topic, not to beat the Tim
Speaker 1: Tebow thing to death, but he's six three five. I
Speaker 1: also six three to fifty five. But my six three
Speaker 1: two fifty five is much different than Tim Tebow six three.
Speaker 1: If he's six three, though, what do you think he
Speaker 1: is eleven six too? He's I'm kidding, of course he's Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was cheap show. But did you hear that? But
Speaker 1: it seems like that, you know, the other tight ends are,
Speaker 1: you know, fans of happy gonna be happy with a
Speaker 1: lot anyway, So it seems like the other tight ends
Speaker 1: are a bit taller than Tim was a little bit. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he you know he actually. I mean if if you
Speaker 1: looked at him, is he just is walking by and
Speaker 1: you ignored the number that he's wearing, Because a lot
Speaker 1: of times when you look at a jersey number, you
Speaker 1: have preconceived notions of what a position that a guy
Speaker 1: may play. If you just looked at him from a
Speaker 1: physical standpoint, you would think fullback, you know, fullback type
Speaker 1: of guy, maybe linebacker, one of the two, you know,
Speaker 1: because he's he's not super tall, he's not long, but
Speaker 1: he's he's muscled. He's ripped. Yeah, he's muscled, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, linebacker, former Jaguars draft pick in twelve. By
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know if you remember that Lost
Speaker 1: Smith's last last draft correct fifth round pick out of Nevada.
Speaker 1: He's working out for the forty Niners. He last played
Speaker 1: for the Broncos in eighteen. He signed with the Raiders
Speaker 1: in nineteen but never played in the game. He's been
Speaker 1: out for a little bit. Yeah, a pretty good little
Speaker 1: run in Denver where he had some solid seasons of
Speaker 1: play for the good player and he was the same
Speaker 1: draft as Justin Blackman. Yeah, he was good. He was
Speaker 1: a good player. What about him, Well, he's he's working
Speaker 1: out for the forty niners, Okay, because he's been he's
Speaker 1: been a good player in the league. I mean when
Speaker 1: when he left here, because he wasn't a great player
Speaker 1: here for the Jaguars, but when he left here and
Speaker 1: especially when he was with the Broncos, he was a
Speaker 1: good football player. He was there when I believe when
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl with Peyton Manning. I mean
Speaker 1: he he was one of the better linebackers in the
Speaker 1: league for a little period of time. Now he wasn't
Speaker 1: an elite linebacker, but he was a good linebacker. Adam Vinntary,
Speaker 1: our final note today, announced his retirement after twenty four
Speaker 1: NFL seasons. Bill Belichick called him the greatest kicker of
Speaker 1: all time, who made the greatest kick of all time
Speaker 1: in the two thousand one divisional playoffs. That was a
Speaker 1: direct quote from Bill Belichick, and I don't think I
Speaker 1: have much of an argument that moment was huge in
Speaker 1: his career. Is you're talking about the snow kick the
Speaker 1: tuck rule game. Yes, amazing kick. You look at when
Speaker 1: you every every year when we would prepare because we
Speaker 1: were able to watch Adam military play for an incredibly
Speaker 1: long time. Obviously with the Patriots and mccolt You know,
Speaker 1: you always add notes on players on on my game board,
Speaker 1: and with Adam Vinatari, one of the notes that you
Speaker 1: always had to write down was the number of game
Speaker 1: winning kicks that he had in his career, and then
Speaker 1: when you considered where some of those came in. Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick does not sugarcoat things. He is dead on the
Speaker 1: money when he says the greatest kicker of all time
Speaker 1: because the moments that he had were bigger than any
Speaker 1: other kicker, more big kicks by Adam Minitary than anybody else.
Speaker 1: They'll do it for our program today here thanks to
Speaker 1: Joe Fortgnando, Brent Rievery, Trimpada, our entire crew, Jeff Flagerman,
Speaker 1: have a great Memorial Day week. I'm J. P. Shadrick
