Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, August. This is Jaguars Happy Hour, Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hours presented by the Fields Auto Group, and now
Speaker 1: a guy who believes one of the greatest free agency
Speaker 1: acquisitions of is Brooks. J. P. Shadrick. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any doubt about that. Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: presented by the Fields Auto Group. JP. Shatterrick with you,
Speaker 1: and we've got a program for you today, keeping the
Speaker 1: team healthy in a different type of training camp. Will
Speaker 1: get into maintenance days and what the organization has done
Speaker 1: a couple of times so far in training camp to
Speaker 1: keep guys healthy going into the regular season. We'll talk
Speaker 1: up that defensive line some so many changes there, But
Speaker 1: to Jason Rebovitch, the defensive line coaches you would expect,
Speaker 1: is excited about the group he has to work with.
Speaker 1: Have they figured out the left tackle position? We'll hear
Speaker 1: from George Warhofy, offensive line coach as well, and we'll
Speaker 1: go around the National Football League. John Osier is with
Speaker 1: us as always, Bucky Brooks is with us as always,
Speaker 1: and I gotta John. I must say I think Joe
Speaker 1: of Fortunato, who does our open was right that this
Speaker 1: acquisition of Bucky Brooks and free agency. It doesn't get
Speaker 1: any bigger than that, John Well, I mean not just
Speaker 1: this offseason, but here. I mean, if Bucky, then maybe
Speaker 1: Klais Leon, sarahc Keena Macarille the Buckey number one, no doubt,
Speaker 1: no doubt that. Yeah, used to feel, but hey, Bucky's
Speaker 1: the guy to do it, man, That's how it works.
Speaker 1: So uh new, what's new this week? Bucky? You're you're
Speaker 1: out in California. We got another week under our belt
Speaker 1: with looking around the National Football League here, just big picture,
Speaker 1: we're another week closer to the season, and it seems
Speaker 1: like most everybody in the league, at least COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: wise is healthy. That's another week in the books, and
Speaker 1: that's a good sign, Bucky. Yeah, it is a good
Speaker 1: sign that we're able to get through this without a
Speaker 1: lot of tests pop popping up. It says that the
Speaker 1: protocols are working. It also says that the players are
Speaker 1: taken everything seriously. So I'm more optimistic now than ever
Speaker 1: that we're not only going to get the kick off,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna have an alt stand this season. They
Speaker 1: may not have any hiccups, John, is pretty remarkable to
Speaker 1: see those numbers that they put out the other day,
Speaker 1: the league said they were like fifty something thousand tests
Speaker 1: and of eight thousand different people and zero players tested positives. That,
Speaker 1: as Bucky said, they're taking it seriously. Now, you just
Speaker 1: got to get to the starting line and then to
Speaker 1: the finish line after that. John, that's still a lot
Speaker 1: to ask, But so far, so good. Well, I thought
Speaker 1: from day one that the I mean, I think everybody
Speaker 1: sort of thought this, the reporting stuff was going to
Speaker 1: cause a lot of brush fires into me. You mean,
Speaker 1: they were gonna be teams that had multiple players report,
Speaker 1: and the media was gonna go, you know, and I'm
Speaker 1: criticizing what I used to do obviously, but we're gonna say,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, that it will never work. And it
Speaker 1: was always going to be this period, except it sort
Speaker 1: of told the tale of training camp. Once they got
Speaker 1: into the pseudo bubble, how did it work? And I
Speaker 1: can hear all the naysayers already because you see him
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Well, this doesn't mean anything. It's whatever happens
Speaker 1: during the regular season. But how to understand this is
Speaker 1: pretty close to zero right now in this bubble. I
Speaker 1: don't think it has to be zero as the regular
Speaker 1: season goes on, I think it just has to be controllable.
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some flare ups. But I'm
Speaker 1: like Bucky, even more so than in June July. I'm
Speaker 1: really starting to think that they're gonna pull this thing
Speaker 1: off and it's gonna be a relatively normal seat And
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say normal, relatively pick up free season that
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's gonna be defined on the
Speaker 1: field by COVID the way everybody is sort of assumed
Speaker 1: for four months. Yeah, let's hope. Let's hope that's not
Speaker 1: the case at all, Bucky. I mean, let's let's play
Speaker 1: some football and and be as normal as we can
Speaker 1: be in this environment. Yeah. I think that the real
Speaker 1: tests will come once we get into the regular season
Speaker 1: days and the regular season practice periods and we're out
Speaker 1: of kind of training camp mode, Because then what happens
Speaker 1: is players are used to having a normal routine. Tuesday's
Speaker 1: are off normally, that's when guys would kind of get
Speaker 1: together and go out to eat, to do their things,
Speaker 1: and as you get later in the week, guys will
Speaker 1: have like these dB nights or position groups will get together,
Speaker 1: and so they will have to change the way that
Speaker 1: they normally do business during the regular season. But I
Speaker 1: think everyone understands what's at stake, and I think now
Speaker 1: more than ever, UH players are taking precautions to make
Speaker 1: sure they protect their teammates. John and your podcast This
Speaker 1: Wee the ozone podcast. Bucky has been a guest on
Speaker 1: this podcast before, but this week you visited with the
Speaker 1: head of the COVID department for lack of a better term,
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Omega Partake, Scott Truelock, the head
Speaker 1: athletic trainer, and Cassie. You tell what did you find out?
Speaker 1: What was the biggest piece of that conversation that stood
Speaker 1: out to you, maybe about the difficulty and how they've
Speaker 1: executed things to get the Jaguars on the right track. Um,
Speaker 1: probably the biggest takeaway, or the biggest thing I was
Speaker 1: impressed with, was the enormous amount of information that had
Speaker 1: to be taken in either from by Mega, from the
Speaker 1: league office, by Scott and Cassie, from all of the
Speaker 1: medical information that comes flowing in, and then you've got
Speaker 1: to sort of take that and funnel it into something
Speaker 1: useful for the team, and then into all these protocols,
Speaker 1: and I guess more than any specific takeaway from anything
Speaker 1: they said was just the enormous job that these people
Speaker 1: have had and the education process for Scott and Cassie
Speaker 1: educating the players every day, because you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of young guys, and as Bucky knows, football players who
Speaker 1: are twenty two years old, you know they're not always
Speaker 1: getting the best information or they're not reading medical journals.
Speaker 1: That if you know that, Bucky, but they're probably not
Speaker 1: reading medical journals and trying to figure out COVID. So
Speaker 1: they they've had to try to get the players to listen.
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest thing they told me was
Speaker 1: players are taking this very seriously. They get it, and
Speaker 1: then it goes it goes back to them we talked
Speaker 1: to on the show last week. Players aren't trying to
Speaker 1: screw this up. They're not out there trying to make mistakes.
Speaker 1: They realized that their livelihoods, the season, livelihoods of others
Speaker 1: depend on it. And the Jaguars COVID team really gave
Speaker 1: me the impression that the players, at least so far,
Speaker 1: are very diligent, very professional. They get what has to
Speaker 1: be done. Yeah, John, it's funny that you you talk
Speaker 1: about the players getting it. I think we've seen a
Speaker 1: couple of examples where UH coach Marone is able to
Speaker 1: stand in front of the room and say hey, up
Speaker 1: in Seattle, we had a situation, but the player trying
Speaker 1: to sneak someone in. We cannot have that if we
Speaker 1: want to accomplish where we want to accomplish. In Tennessee,
Speaker 1: they had a player that was at an off campus
Speaker 1: party on a college campus. UH twenty one year old.
Speaker 1: Another opportunity for Moron to go back and talk to
Speaker 1: his players about how we have to add we have
Speaker 1: to be very, very professional. We have to take this serious,
Speaker 1: and we have to make sure that we're doing everything
Speaker 1: to keep the entire team safe and athing doing this pandemic.
Speaker 1: You know, of all the possible stories like that, Bucky,
Speaker 1: that's really the only two I've heard of instances like that,
Speaker 1: which kind of speaks to our point. The players for
Speaker 1: the most part of I've done a very good job
Speaker 1: so far. Now let's get in to the football side
Speaker 1: of things here. And we discussed this a little bit
Speaker 1: on Monday night with Pete Prisco and Tony Boselli on
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour. But that the idea of maintenance days.
Speaker 1: The other day, Bucky, there were twenty four Jaguars players
Speaker 1: held inside. Doug Brone said that they still had as
Speaker 1: much work done inside than they would have had in
Speaker 1: pads hitting outside. They can track it. They have the
Speaker 1: monitoring system where they can track the output of players pushing, pulling, lifting,
Speaker 1: doing different things inside. You see the list right there
Speaker 1: of the guys that were inside the other day. Um,
Speaker 1: but it is a shortened padded practice camp. I mean
Speaker 1: there's only a handful of padded practices left. And Bucky,
Speaker 1: this is an interesting balance. How much work do you
Speaker 1: get on the field in a very short time frame
Speaker 1: as opposed to keeping your team healthy and maybe working
Speaker 1: on some things that could linger as the season goes along.
Speaker 1: That is a really really balance. Yeah, it is a
Speaker 1: fine balance. And I had an opportunity to talk to
Speaker 1: some coaches and they talked about the goal of training
Speaker 1: camp is to make sure that you can get everybody
Speaker 1: on your squad to the first game healthy, and so
Speaker 1: you want to lean on your sports science information, you
Speaker 1: want to lead on your medical experts to try and
Speaker 1: figure out what is the best way to get our
Speaker 1: team ready to go and performing at an optimal level
Speaker 1: when the season kicks off, and so that may require
Speaker 1: scaling it back a little bit, taking off the pads,
Speaker 1: doing some maintenance day type things to make sure that
Speaker 1: your guys are available. But given the importance of depth
Speaker 1: and the availability of your top players, I don't think
Speaker 1: this is a bad approach for the Jaguars to take.
Speaker 1: But don't forget to j In a normal preseason, you
Speaker 1: have four preseason games. I get the players hit a
Speaker 1: couple times during a preseason game, but the way teams
Speaker 1: are starting to preseason games now, players are playing what
Speaker 1: maybe a game and a half during that they're skipping
Speaker 1: one or two preseason games at the start, maybe at
Speaker 1: the end. So for a lot of these players that
Speaker 1: are out for maintenance, had this been preseason week one,
Speaker 1: they're taking Thursday as a really light day and it
Speaker 1: may be a travel day. They're not playing in the game,
Speaker 1: and they're probably off the next day. So I don't
Speaker 1: know that you're losing as much as youth as appearances
Speaker 1: might give right there, because usually the preseason is close
Speaker 1: to three days off. For all these twenty four guys
Speaker 1: who are taking these maintenance days, John didn't surprise you
Speaker 1: to see Gardner Minshew on that list the other day.
Speaker 1: It was a later a later addition to it a little,
Speaker 1: and it sort of makes you wonder, was maybe that, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm feeling a touch of camp and I'm speculating, but
Speaker 1: maybe it was I'm feeling a touch of camp arm,
Speaker 1: And maybe they just said, you know what, there's no
Speaker 1: veterans out here that you're throwing to anyway outside maybe
Speaker 1: like a keeling coal, So take today off. Don't worry
Speaker 1: about it today. I don't know that it was camp arm,
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe it was just, hey, let's prevent that.
Speaker 1: It wasn't planned. But when they got to the case
Speaker 1: in the morning, they may have just said, look, there's
Speaker 1: really no reason for the quarterback out there. If nobody
Speaker 1: else is gonna be out there, let's give him one
Speaker 1: day off. But yeah, it surprised me a little. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you think, Bucky Ian? Is that something that's
Speaker 1: obviously something to keep an eye on to the next
Speaker 1: week or two to see what happens with Gardner? But
Speaker 1: it seemed like there was no big storyline of that
Speaker 1: before with him. Um, I'll see what happens the next week.
Speaker 1: I guess, Yeah, I think I think this is some
Speaker 1: of what you do with the starting quarterback. He's kind
Speaker 1: of earned his stripes. He's made his way into being
Speaker 1: and the Jaguar starting quarterback, and so they want to
Speaker 1: make sure that they're protecting him, making sure they limit
Speaker 1: the amount of throws that he has throughout the entire
Speaker 1: training camp. They want to make sure that Garna, mit you,
Speaker 1: is ready to roll when the season kicks off. That
Speaker 1: is why they may have some of these scheduled maintenance
Speaker 1: days in there to assure that his arm and his
Speaker 1: mind they're fresh and ready to go when they really
Speaker 1: needed to. All right, let's touch a little bit on
Speaker 1: some of the new faces around this Jaguars offense this year.
Speaker 1: We're not talking between the white lines. Were talking on
Speaker 1: the sideline. J Gruden of course, the new offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: but the new quarterback coach has been McAdoo, former head
Speaker 1: coach of the New York Giants who was fired by
Speaker 1: the Giants and then kept it was out of football
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. He was fired up to
Speaker 1: be back in it. There's no doubt about that. When
Speaker 1: we heard from been McAdoo earlier this week. You know,
Speaker 1: I told guys the other day I would have took
Speaker 1: a job coaching a monkey how to do hop scotch
Speaker 1: if I had to. You know, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: get back, and I love coaching, and I just love
Speaker 1: seeing and being around players and helping them get better,
Speaker 1: doing everything I can to help those guys get better.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I look forward. Uh, I look
Speaker 1: forward to doing it. I'm not sure exactly what a
Speaker 1: monkey doing hop scotch would look like, but it's obvious
Speaker 1: that he wanted to get back in the game of
Speaker 1: football after being out a couple of years. What about
Speaker 1: his personality, Bucky, You know, it was a tough go
Speaker 1: of it in New York, did not end well of
Speaker 1: course with Big Blue there. A couple of years off
Speaker 1: might change your perspective on things a bit. And now
Speaker 1: you get to come back in as a position coaching
Speaker 1: and groom a young quarterback that that hopefully is the future. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was to say that Ben McAdoo gets to go
Speaker 1: back and kind of go back into a position that
Speaker 1: is is tied to the stress of his character and
Speaker 1: his personality. He's an outstanding teacher and quarterback developer. Spend
Speaker 1: time in Green Bay, worked up under Mike McCarthy understands
Speaker 1: how to deal with the quarterback position, and I think
Speaker 1: he's going to be a great addition for gard To
Speaker 1: mention because in Green Bay for the longest time to
Speaker 1: have what they called the Quarterback School, which is really
Speaker 1: an intensive study and breakdown on footwork, fundamentals and efficiency.
Speaker 1: He did a terrific job with Eli Manning of making
Speaker 1: Eli a more efficient passer, really encouraged him to use
Speaker 1: the running backs out the backfield. And so when you
Speaker 1: think about Ben McAdoo and Jay Gruden, I think we
Speaker 1: can understand how this offense is going to look. And
Speaker 1: with Chris Thompson and also Leonard for Nick catching the
Speaker 1: ball out the backfield, you could see this offense be
Speaker 1: a more efficient version of the offense that we saw
Speaker 1: a year ago. Hey, and coach, and I'm sorry, head
Speaker 1: coach and position coach are two completely different jobs. I've
Speaker 1: got no zone emails saying well, why would they hire
Speaker 1: this guy? Didn't make it. None of that matters when
Speaker 1: it comes to coaching position. But Bucky's exactly right that
Speaker 1: he can obviously coach quarterback. He's been around great quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: which can't hurt when you're going to gardener and saying, look,
Speaker 1: here's what we did with Aaron Rodgers, Here's here's what
Speaker 1: you do with the ELI manning. Anytime you can add
Speaker 1: veteran experience, which is what McAdoo and Gruden are, I'm
Speaker 1: all for it. You know, the quarterback couldn't be in
Speaker 1: better hands considering where they were when they started this
Speaker 1: offseason the search process to get too experienced guys with
Speaker 1: this level experience to work with the young quarterback. You know, uh,
Speaker 1: it's probably the most experience, the most veteran sage heads
Speaker 1: whatever you call them, that the quarterback has had this
Speaker 1: franchise in all a long time. I don't see how
Speaker 1: it doesn't help. Partner mentioned, Yeah, I agree. I think
Speaker 1: it does help. I think it helps to have that
Speaker 1: experience and also, well, I would be remiss if I
Speaker 1: don't mention Teary Bisky and tear Ybisky's experienced as an
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, having him around and dealing with the running
Speaker 1: backs and being able to have that think tank. You're
Speaker 1: now talking about a very very good coaching staff, particularly
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. I think that
Speaker 1: will matter when you have so many young guys kind
Speaker 1: of working into the mix. He's been at it for
Speaker 1: a long long time in the National Football League, no
Speaker 1: doubt about that. So a lot of experience in this
Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive coaching staff for sure. Let's come back in
Speaker 1: a moment. We'll dig into the defense and most notably
Speaker 1: the defensive line where Bucky and John. We will hear
Speaker 1: about bird dogs when we come back. Yes, bird dogs.

Speaker 1: day here in Jacksonville. And the Jags will be on
Speaker 1: that playing surface Saturday for a scrimmage of sorts and
Speaker 1: really they're they're big time prep for their first home game,
Speaker 1: which is septem not too far away. Welcome back, lad,
Speaker 1: you're along with us. Um, let's get into the defensive
Speaker 1: line now. And you know we've we've obviously talked about
Speaker 1: this on and a few different shows, John, but there's
Speaker 1: been so much change on that defensive line. We heard
Speaker 1: from Jason Rebrevich this week, defensive line coach, and for him,
Speaker 1: it goes back to some things he learned when he
Speaker 1: was growing up. My dad raised bird dogs when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, and uh, you know, his his deal
Speaker 1: was if if you shot a shotgun and that dog
Speaker 1: shied away, that dog wasn't a bird dog anymore. So
Speaker 1: you know, you could sit there and say, hey, these
Speaker 1: are the guys that we got or or these are
Speaker 1: the people that we have, and uh, you know, you
Speaker 1: you shoot those shotguns off and you say, hey, let's
Speaker 1: let's let's go, let's blast, and let's get off there
Speaker 1: and play with whatever which ones we got out there.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many bird dogs there are in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Bucky, but that's uh, that's a sound bite
Speaker 1: if I've heard one there. The point is, obviously, is
Speaker 1: you find out right now, in this time period, who
Speaker 1: are the guys that are gonna go out there and
Speaker 1: get it done for you? And they gotta go out
Speaker 1: with they have out there, and and so far they're
Speaker 1: they're pretty positive about what they have. Bucket. Yeah, some
Speaker 1: people will see this situation as being a challenge but
Speaker 1: I will say it's an opportunity. It's an opportunity for
Speaker 1: some guys to get it onto the field and show
Speaker 1: the coaching staff that they're ready to get it done.
Speaker 1: And I know we have seen a lot of guys
Speaker 1: followed by the wayside doing this training camp we're leading
Speaker 1: up to camp. We saw guys retired, We've seen people
Speaker 1: opt out, we've seen injuries impacted. But who is remaining
Speaker 1: and with the people who are remaining, they are certainly
Speaker 1: capable of getting it done. But it's going to take
Speaker 1: a massive effort for these guys to play at a
Speaker 1: high level. That means Tavin Bryan, Tim Journey In, Dwayne Smooth.
Speaker 1: Those guys have to play at a high level. And
Speaker 1: then Josh Allen has to go from being what I
Speaker 1: call a pro bowler to being a superstar. If he
Speaker 1: plays at that level, they have more than enough ammunition
Speaker 1: to really attack people and play the kind of defense
Speaker 1: they want to see down there in Jacksonville. John, would
Speaker 1: you make of Rebrovich's comments the other day? And obviously
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna be confident about the group he
Speaker 1: has out there. That's that's part of his job is
Speaker 1: to get those guys ready to go. But and Bucky
Speaker 1: mentioned a couple of names there too that they're really
Speaker 1: high on. Even still with Taban Brian off to the
Speaker 1: side and a week to week with a bone bruise
Speaker 1: on his knee, that was a name we heard a
Speaker 1: lot this the fast few days. Um, a lot of
Speaker 1: positive talk about Taban Brian here. John, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: Revs Dad shot my cell phone off my lap, which
Speaker 1: is why I lost contact you guys earlier. But it's
Speaker 1: a I think people are generally jumping the gun a
Speaker 1: little too much on woe is the Jaguars defensive interior.
Speaker 1: I get they lost Woods, I get they lost a gunter.
Speaker 1: Those are big losses. I don't know that we knew
Speaker 1: enough about don Tavius Russell to be that concerned about
Speaker 1: that loss. Um, And I want to sort of say
Speaker 1: a I mean, ask Bucky at the end of this
Speaker 1: to comment on as Timmy Journe again in the first
Speaker 1: couple of weeks or the first week or so he's
Speaker 1: been here, it's been remarkable how many players have made
Speaker 1: a point to say this guy, you know, he used
Speaker 1: Dwayne Smooths phrase, this guy is a dog. This guy
Speaker 1: is out there in practice. He had a rough first day,
Speaker 1: but the other players are impressed with what he's bringing.
Speaker 1: The energy. If Journe again is Journey again? To me,
Speaker 1: that counters one of those other losses. I don't think
Speaker 1: you're in that bad of shape. I haven't been able
Speaker 1: to watch Timmy journey and that much. I'm curious, Bucky,
Speaker 1: who watches a lot of film. What do you think
Speaker 1: of him? How good can he be? Quickly? This is
Speaker 1: a good gift for the Jaguars. When he came over,
Speaker 1: I was excited about it because watching him all the
Speaker 1: way back in Florida State, he was a disruptive playmaker
Speaker 1: at the point of attack. When you chronicle his career,
Speaker 1: how he played at Baltimore, how you played in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: he's still very disruptive on the interior. Didn't necessarily have
Speaker 1: the year that he wanted a season to go. But
Speaker 1: he comes down and he's an energy as a bunny,
Speaker 1: he st on, he's tough, he's physical. More importantly, he
Speaker 1: has experienced and when you put an explosive, energetic player
Speaker 1: like him, besides a Tavin Bryant who's also energetic and
Speaker 1: explosive man, you now could have problem on your hands.
Speaker 1: And just know everyone that has been down on Bryant.
Speaker 1: The light for young players typically goes off in their
Speaker 1: third year. We finally could see him realize his first
Speaker 1: round talent this season as the game settles down and
Speaker 1: slows down for him. Another guy that you mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: like he was to want Smoot and former, well it
Speaker 1: was just now his fourth year in the NFL, which
Speaker 1: is crazy to think about. But he he talked this
Speaker 1: week about you know, he's trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: he actually is. Is he a big end? Is he
Speaker 1: a Russian? They moved him around a little bit, and
Speaker 1: you know, towards the end of last season you started
Speaker 1: to see him take some strides. What did you see
Speaker 1: out of him coming out in the draft And how
Speaker 1: difficult is that sometimes when maybe you have been moved
Speaker 1: around earlier in career, to find out who you what
Speaker 1: kind of player you really are. Yeah, it's really hard
Speaker 1: because when you really talented, UH, coaches imagination sometimes can
Speaker 1: run wild. They can say, hey, he's a big end,
Speaker 1: he can go inside, he can do a bunch of
Speaker 1: different things. And I think for smoothness understanding where do
Speaker 1: I fit in the puzzle? Can I master my craft
Speaker 1: at one situation, I think he's more of a big
Speaker 1: and I think given what they're lacking, I think you
Speaker 1: want to see if he can be that based defensive ent.
Speaker 1: And then because Josh Allen is a uniquely talented player,
Speaker 1: with his athleticism and his traits, you want to leave
Speaker 1: him kind of as the open side, the LEO player,
Speaker 1: the guy that can kind of run and rush and
Speaker 1: do a bunch of different things. And so I believe
Speaker 1: in this defense Smooth his best position to be a
Speaker 1: based in to play outside, to kind of be the
Speaker 1: heavy handed player against him run. He didn't get the
Speaker 1: memot like he didn't get the can't say Leo, Bucky
Speaker 1: can't say Leo around here and many But in terms
Speaker 1: of Smoot, I'll tell you what he is. He's exactly
Speaker 1: what good defensive lines in this league need. He's not
Speaker 1: necessarily a front line starter. I don't think he's going
Speaker 1: to Pro Bowl then he's getting twelve sacks. But what
Speaker 1: he was sort of talking about when he talked to
Speaker 1: Think it was yesterday, not really knowing what he is.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars know he is. He's a guy who can
Speaker 1: play all those spots. Four guys never play on the
Speaker 1: defensive line in the NFL. Good defensive lines has six, seven,
Speaker 1: eight guys. Think of the Giants when they beat the
Speaker 1: Patriots and Super Bowl. You can come in waves. That's
Speaker 1: what Smoot gives them. He is a guy. If you're
Speaker 1: a good defensive line, you've got a few Dwyane Smoots,
Speaker 1: because you've got guys who are necessarily superstars, but they're
Speaker 1: really good and they produced when they're in the game.
Speaker 1: But he's not a Leo. He's not a Leo. I
Speaker 1: got that leon does not exist a board point point taking.
Speaker 1: But here's what I say, Jock, as you make a
Speaker 1: good observation, and I think a lot of people are
Speaker 1: so used to thinking that a defensive line has to
Speaker 1: have guys that ring up these double digit sacks. But
Speaker 1: you can get away with it if you do it
Speaker 1: by committee. So let's just say Smooth is able to
Speaker 1: get you six or seven, Brian gives you four or five.
Speaker 1: Journal again gets you four or five. But then at
Speaker 1: the end of the year, if you're sitting around forty five,
Speaker 1: that's a very productive year for a defensive line. Josh
Speaker 1: Allen has to carry the weight and maybe you get
Speaker 1: something from somebody else. But if the rest of the
Speaker 1: guys can give you four or five apiece that is
Speaker 1: more than enough to be an effective unit, particularly against
Speaker 1: the past. Let's hear from one of the newest members
Speaker 1: of that defensive line unit, Calevan Chason, first round draft pick,
Speaker 1: and you know, it'd be nice to have him obviously
Speaker 1: contribute to some of those numbers this year, But learning
Speaker 1: how to do that, he says, won't be much of
Speaker 1: an issue. I feel like I'm a se lerated learner.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to you know, God, get to anybody else.
Speaker 1: But I feel like the way I learned things, it's
Speaker 1: not really hard for me to pick up on anything
Speaker 1: when it's academically a football like you, um, you gave
Speaker 1: it to me on the playbook, on the video film,
Speaker 1: on the field right then and there. I pick up
Speaker 1: fast and I learned quick. So that's never really kind
Speaker 1: of been anything, no learning curve hell back for me.
Speaker 1: I kind of just been putting in the work every
Speaker 1: day when it comes to watching film or studying the
Speaker 1: playbook or even being on the field. I'm taking a
Speaker 1: step by step, day by day and just trying to
Speaker 1: learn from everything. Bucky, I'll start with you here on
Speaker 1: Chase on. You know, his sample size of L s
Speaker 1: U were somewhat limited because of injury down there, and
Speaker 1: he's still a very young man, um So what did
Speaker 1: you make when he was out there? Obviously, and you know,
Speaker 1: being that locked in as he says he is, that
Speaker 1: can only help a young player when he's trying to
Speaker 1: transition to a new league like this one. Yeah, look, Jason,
Speaker 1: is it else an athlete? Looking back at my nose,
Speaker 1: I talked about being an urgent athlete. He was energetic,
Speaker 1: did a great job of running and chasing and playing
Speaker 1: from snap to whistle. The thing that he is right
Speaker 1: now is he's a newbie when it comes to being
Speaker 1: a pass rusher meeting. He doesn't have the full repertoire
Speaker 1: pastor skills to be able to really throw a bunch
Speaker 1: of different pitches at blockers. That said, his first step
Speaker 1: quickness and his verse, he can be a guy that
Speaker 1: was very effective similar to Yannicking Gockway when he came
Speaker 1: into the league. He may not have everything at his disposal,
Speaker 1: but his speed, energy and tempo could enable him to
Speaker 1: be a guy against eight to ten sacks just playing
Speaker 1: on sheer talent. You put that opposite of Josh Allen
Speaker 1: because he is going to command double teams. He can
Speaker 1: win one on ones and that could be enough to
Speaker 1: be a contributing factor right away as a rookie. It
Speaker 1: sounds John like what Josh Allen was last year. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're hearing Jeff Logavan say it in the last
Speaker 1: week or so, Allen on talent alone got a lot
Speaker 1: of those sacks last year. Now you're starting to put
Speaker 1: some some pass rush moves together with that. John, that's
Speaker 1: a big difference. Yeah. And as far as Chase and
Speaker 1: you know, he has this athletic ability that jumps off
Speaker 1: the page when you're watching practice. You know, if you
Speaker 1: do anything about football, your eyes are drawn to him
Speaker 1: and you say, who's that guy? He looks different than
Speaker 1: everybody else. I think what's most encouraging for me on Chason.
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to talk to him face
Speaker 1: to face to all the COVID stuff, but in listening
Speaker 1: to him in a few interviews and then making some
Speaker 1: calls and talking to people who have dealt with him
Speaker 1: inside the organization, his ability to communicate his maturity. JP.
Speaker 1: You remember this from Josh Allen last year. As soon
Speaker 1: as Josh walked in the building, he felt different. When
Speaker 1: you talked to him, you knew he was going to
Speaker 1: gravitate the calais. You knew he was going to do
Speaker 1: the right thing. And he held that all season, showing
Speaker 1: maturity on many different ways that I don't see very
Speaker 1: often from He's from what you hear, Halevan is that
Speaker 1: thing kind of kid. To me, that's the key. There's
Speaker 1: no question about his athletic ability. If he combines that
Speaker 1: with this Josh Allen type maturity, that's what makes Josh
Speaker 1: the whole package. Boy, then you've got something special out
Speaker 1: of those two guys. It's too early to know on
Speaker 1: Calevan yet, but those signs to me are even more
Speaker 1: encouraging than what you see on the field because those
Speaker 1: signs mean he's gonna take advantage of his God given talent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you, John, because he does have god
Speaker 1: get given talent. This was a big time basketball player
Speaker 1: coming up, someone who is still I would say, kind
Speaker 1: of new to the game in the position as it
Speaker 1: comes to being a pass rusher. But the reason I
Speaker 1: think is really important to talk about yannicking Goquay is
Speaker 1: because no one expected in Goqui to be the player
Speaker 1: that he emerged as for the Jaguars when he was
Speaker 1: drafted out of Maryland. I'm gonna say Chason is a
Speaker 1: more explosive, dynamic and athletic um prospect coming out now.
Speaker 1: It may take him a while to put it together,
Speaker 1: but there's no reason why early in his career he
Speaker 1: can't be a contributor despite not really knowing what he's
Speaker 1: doing coming off the edge. He's a better run player. Yes,
Speaker 1: then in way was coming out, I think as it
Speaker 1: made him a first round pick, and but you assume
Speaker 1: it will be much stouter against the run in his career. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I think he has a lot of
Speaker 1: talent you're now putting him. And also this, i think
Speaker 1: the observation was made by both of you guys. You
Speaker 1: talked about his maturity. Because now Josh Allen is the
Speaker 1: leader of their room, we'll just assume he's the leader
Speaker 1: that de line room. That competition is going to force
Speaker 1: Jason to step up his game because of the way
Speaker 1: that he talks about wanting to get it. He is
Speaker 1: going to be in Josh Allen's hip pocket. I think
Speaker 1: that bowls well for the Jaguars. Not in but in
Speaker 1: two and beyond. All right, let's I like that. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a good sign for the organization for sure,
Speaker 1: and and and don't fret about the defensive line. According
Speaker 1: to John Oshan, we're back in a moment. Let's get
Speaker 1: onto the offensive line. Will discuss Cam Robinson the left
Speaker 1: tackle position. We'll hear from George Warhop, the offensive line
Speaker 1: coach who kind of set the record straight at that position.
Speaker 1: Bodo's Pitt Barbecue is showing support for front line heroes
Speaker 1: by creating a feed. The front Line Campaign helps support
Speaker 1: our local doctors, nurses, and hospital workers by donating meals
Speaker 1: to honor their brave and dedicated efforts during this difficult time.

Speaker 1: with the Jacksonville Jaguars versus subject to change with I've
Speaker 1: noticed equal housing opportunity. Hey, Jacksonville, this is Joe Indeed
Speaker 1: from Bonos. I just want to let you know that
Speaker 1: we have now reopened all of our dining rooms. We
Speaker 1: appreciate all the love that you have showed us during
Speaker 1: this crisis. For over seventy one year. If we have
Speaker 1: been here for you through good times and bad, our
Speaker 1: award winning barbecue and our unbelievable staff look forward to
Speaker 1: seeing you soon be safe. Lettackle. I think he's extremely
Speaker 1: important and we need him to perform at a high level.
Speaker 1: The biggest thing from Mer from last year to now
Speaker 1: is he can take all the practice he's out there
Speaker 1: and all the practice he's taken, all the reps. Uh
Speaker 1: there's been uh been to this point. No issues with
Speaker 1: him physically, uh So, I mean he can just keep
Speaker 1: going and getting better and we don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about managing him like we did last year. It's George Warhop,
Speaker 1: the offensive line coach for the Jags, and the Jaguars
Speaker 1: will be back out on the Dream Finders Homes practice
Speaker 1: complex tomorrow morning and Friday as well, and then into
Speaker 1: the stadium on Saturday for scrimmage. But there you have it.
Speaker 1: There's a look at the practice fields for now. Players
Speaker 1: off day today, Welcome back, j P Shadrick, Bucky Brooks,
Speaker 1: John Oser, Jaguars. Happy our rolls along. And there has
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a development at the offensive
Speaker 1: line since we last spoke Bucky, and that was the
Speaker 1: development George Warhop saying, well, yeah, he's important, Cam Robinson,
Speaker 1: because he's gonna be our starting left tackle. We had
Speaker 1: talked and there's been a little rumble of some competition
Speaker 1: you know, in camp. But Cam Robinson, at least Warhop
Speaker 1: said it, you know, has played the position much more obviously,
Speaker 1: and coming into camp was way ahead of Will Richardson.
Speaker 1: Now Richardson's working his way into and being comfortable at
Speaker 1: left tackle, but Cam Robinson is the guy. And I
Speaker 1: will say the other day, it must have been yesterday
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson and one on ones against Josh Allen. I
Speaker 1: don't think he lost against Josh Allen yesterday. So you
Speaker 1: see a guy who's motivated, who's in pretty good shape, who,
Speaker 1: reporting to Tony Boselli, has worked on his footwork and
Speaker 1: things are going well for Cam Robinson. That's a good sign, Bucky, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is a very good sign. To to hear those things.
Speaker 1: To hear uh, Jory's talking about what he's doing, him
Speaker 1: being in trench at left tackle, Tony Basselli talking about
Speaker 1: his improved footwork. Because coming out of Alabama this was
Speaker 1: a ball apprawl. This was someone who was expected to
Speaker 1: be really a key player more as a run blocker
Speaker 1: than as a pass protector, and so a lot of
Speaker 1: how effective he will be we'll really depend on the
Speaker 1: design of the offense. Will we see the Jaguars commit
Speaker 1: the running to football. It's been a lot of time
Speaker 1: going forward with the offensive line instead of backbeddling, because
Speaker 1: if we see them go forward, would they run throw
Speaker 1: offflay action. I think we will see the best version
Speaker 1: of Cam Robinson this season. John, how about the George
Speaker 1: warhop there and and and Cam's development over time? Here?
Speaker 1: You know this is this is a line you can
Speaker 1: start left tackle all the way across. They're all back
Speaker 1: from last year. But that's been the focus I think
Speaker 1: of a lot of conversation in the offense. Uh, this
Speaker 1: whole offseason is that left tackle position. And here it
Speaker 1: is contract year for Cam coming up. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: my question that it prompted the answer and Bucky, as
Speaker 1: you know, it's not the first time that one of
Speaker 1: my questions has been absolutely laughed at with this Dane
Speaker 1: the way he did it. Uh. I wonder with Cam
Speaker 1: Robinson if we fully grasp as non players something like
Speaker 1: JP and I, how much the A C L can
Speaker 1: set you back and how much of an issue it
Speaker 1: can be to try to return from that. The following season,
Speaker 1: war Hoop talked about the biggest infen between Cam is
Speaker 1: he's able to practice every day. They're not maintaining him,
Speaker 1: to use that word, but they're not trying just to
Speaker 1: get him on the field. It sounds for listen to
Speaker 1: war up in Moron that there were many games last
Speaker 1: season where they were just trying to get Cam. I
Speaker 1: think it was Marone used the word just trying to
Speaker 1: get him to survive. Um, if that's what's going on,
Speaker 1: If he's back to where he was trying to get
Speaker 1: to before the injury, and if fa Celi is right
Speaker 1: that he has improved that much, then he is the
Speaker 1: key to the whole thing, then maybe that's what was
Speaker 1: missing last year. Bucky, I'm curious if if you think
Speaker 1: most fans grasp how difficult it can be for a
Speaker 1: player when he's not able to practice a hundred percent
Speaker 1: the way Cam Wasn't you know, it's a huge challenge
Speaker 1: coming off in a c L injury. Normally, John and
Speaker 1: JP it takes about two years before you see that
Speaker 1: player returned to the form that we saw him prior
Speaker 1: to the injury. For Cam. This would be the first offseason.
Speaker 1: I mean, this would be the off season where he
Speaker 1: was able to actually work on his skills, meaning his
Speaker 1: fundamentals and footwork instead of rehabbing. That makes a huge
Speaker 1: difference in his development. One of the reasons why he
Speaker 1: is more comfortable in practice now is because even though
Speaker 1: they didn't have a true or traditional offseason, he was
Speaker 1: able to do football stuff as opposed to rehab. That
Speaker 1: has made the difference. And don't underestimate the confidence coming
Speaker 1: back in terms of the confidence in the knee. He
Speaker 1: now knows he can make all the movements. When you
Speaker 1: have that twins of doubt, a lot of times you're
Speaker 1: thinking about your leg and you can't think about the
Speaker 1: technique better or even the opponent that you're facing. Now
Speaker 1: he's able to really focus on the football part of
Speaker 1: playing the position. Let's touch on one of the new
Speaker 1: editions on the offensive line this year, Ben BArch Division
Speaker 1: three player from St. John's up in Minnesota, and he
Speaker 1: first came Bucky on a lot of our radars because
Speaker 1: it was Smoothie at the draft. You know, not many
Speaker 1: at least around here, I don't think watch Division three football.
Speaker 1: Um how well known was he in the scouting community
Speaker 1: going into the draft, and you know, it seems like
Speaker 1: so far he's been able to do certain things in
Speaker 1: camp that make you say, Okay, this guy has a
Speaker 1: future of some kind. Don't know exactly what it is yet,
Speaker 1: but um, how does he continue to develop and when
Speaker 1: did he When did you first hear about Ben BArch Well?
Speaker 1: Obviously on the All Star circuit his name was prominent
Speaker 1: because you don't find many D three players that are
Speaker 1: able to play at EASTAI in college All Star games,
Speaker 1: and then when you have an opportunity to watch him play,
Speaker 1: he's competitive, he battled, he didn't look like the game
Speaker 1: was too big for him. And so the biggest transition
Speaker 1: that you have to worry about when you get a
Speaker 1: player that is playing coming from playing D three ball
Speaker 1: to now playing in the National Football League, how long
Speaker 1: does it take him to get acclimated to the speed, tempo,
Speaker 1: and strength and power of the game and the opponents
Speaker 1: that he faces. By all accounts, he's been able to
Speaker 1: hold his own and so it may be ugly at
Speaker 1: times this year as he's transitioning, but as he settles in.
Speaker 1: This was a player there was a dominant player on
Speaker 1: the D three level. If he can settle in and
Speaker 1: kind of have that confidence, he can be a very
Speaker 1: solid player on the interior. John. I was interested to
Speaker 1: see him in person just to see is he just
Speaker 1: a skinny guy that put on a bunch of weight.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's that. I think he's broader
Speaker 1: than I expected just in general. And then he put
Speaker 1: on all the weight with that, Well so are you
Speaker 1: and I j B. So that's uh, he's with that
Speaker 1: right with us. He Uh, he's not overwhelmed at all.
Speaker 1: And I think the key to him not being overwhelmed
Speaker 1: is as you said, he fits physically. Uh. Had he
Speaker 1: played at Division one school in the last couple of
Speaker 1: years that he transferred when I was, I think he
Speaker 1: would have done fine. I talked to him one in
Speaker 1: a and th own conversation that we did he was
Speaker 1: mayor June talked to him face to face. What I
Speaker 1: was impressed with with him is he sort of understood
Speaker 1: the line of questioning about Hey, it's gonna be about
Speaker 1: transitioning from Division three, it's gonna be about all those
Speaker 1: things he's always heard, and he's not hockey about it.
Speaker 1: But you got the feeling that it didn't surprise him
Speaker 1: when he did well at the Senior Bowl. He said
Speaker 1: there was pressure because it's always pressure. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: the biggest moment of his life. But once he got
Speaker 1: out there, that sort of went away, and he wasn't
Speaker 1: surprised to be competing at that level. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's surprised that he's holding his own against these NFL players.
Speaker 1: He did very well against Journey in the first day.
Speaker 1: He's lost a couple and one on ones. But I
Speaker 1: look at him as a guy, I don't think he's
Speaker 1: ready to start immediately. It wouldn't surprise me if he's
Speaker 1: pushing a j can By somewhere during the season. And
Speaker 1: I think if forced to play, I think this guy
Speaker 1: will do okay because I don't think the acclamation is
Speaker 1: gonna take him as long as maybe conventional wisdom says
Speaker 1: about a Division three player. I agree. I don't think
Speaker 1: his transition would be nearly as long as we think.
Speaker 1: And I think he also will be as good as
Speaker 1: the company that he keeps around him. We talk about
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson being able to play well, you think about
Speaker 1: a j Ken Andrew North like he has a lot
Speaker 1: of guys that he can learn and draw from. And
Speaker 1: if he's thrown in there um due to an injury
Speaker 1: or a different situation that puts him on the field,
Speaker 1: I think he will understand how to perform. And I
Speaker 1: also think the neighborhood, meaning the guys playing beside him,
Speaker 1: they can support him as he's beginning to work through
Speaker 1: some of those Ricky struggles. Al Right, guys, we'll come
Speaker 1: back in a moment and go around the National Football League.

Speaker 1: making I lost the Josh Allen wearing a microphone during
Speaker 1: trading camp practice before Mike Dumb segment will be available
Speaker 1: later tonight on at Jaguars social media, Jaguars dot Com,
Speaker 1: and Jaguar's YouTube. Josh Allen We've touched on him a
Speaker 1: moment ago, but you see a little bit of personality there.
Speaker 1: Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour, JP, Shadrick, Bucky Brooks, John Os,
Speaker 1: You're glad you're along with US today, UH and Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour is brought to you by the Fields Cadillac
Speaker 1: Group in Jacksonville and Fields Cadillac St. Augustina, members of
Speaker 1: the Fields Auto Group. Let's go around. But before we
Speaker 1: go around the league, Bucky, did you ever wear a
Speaker 1: microphone during a game when you played Curious? I never
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to wear a microphone, but I would
Speaker 1: have loved it. I would have loved to have like
Speaker 1: a running dialogue for everyone to hear my inner thoughts.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it always would have been positive.
Speaker 1: Would have been a lot of fun for me to
Speaker 1: share an express Maybe they have to put it on cable,
Speaker 1: not over the air. I have a question. Yes, of
Speaker 1: course I would nobody who want to hear it? But um,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen I never going around the league. I've said
Speaker 1: it before, but every time I see the kid, to me,
Speaker 1: he is the hope for this franchise and Bucky talked
Speaker 1: about earlier in the show. I am as excited and
Speaker 1: optimistic about the franchise because of him. I didn't cover
Speaker 1: Peyton's rookie year in India, covered him for ten years
Speaker 1: after that. To me, Josh Allen is the best young
Speaker 1: player the Jaguars have had in terms of culture everything
Speaker 1: you want, uh, maybe since Bisselli back in the day,
Speaker 1: maybe since Fred Taylor, maybe since guys like that. He
Speaker 1: is unbelievable in terms of what you want to see.
Speaker 1: To me, he's the reason that I have hoped for
Speaker 1: this franchise. Three unbelievable model draft pick to me, you know,
Speaker 1: John said piggyback off of that. Coaches will always tell
Speaker 1: you the best teams, the best players are their hardest workers.
Speaker 1: And so Josh Allen is going to carry currency in
Speaker 1: that locker room because he not only has a production,
Speaker 1: he has the performance, but also the way he goes
Speaker 1: about his business. The young players that walk into that
Speaker 1: locker room will now step up their game because they
Speaker 1: know the best player always has his engine running hot
Speaker 1: when he steps onto the field. So check out Josh
Speaker 1: Allen Mike up coming up a little later tonight on
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com, the Jaguars YouTube accounting at Jaguars on
Speaker 1: social media. Let's go around the National Football League. The
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals made Buddha Baker the highest paid safety in
Speaker 1: NFL history four years, fifty nine million dollars in the extension.
Speaker 1: But Bucky, he has exactly zero career interception. What's interceptions?
Speaker 1: What gives? Oh, it speaks to the changing dynamic of
Speaker 1: the safety position. We have seen it. Uh, These safeties
Speaker 1: that are dropping down in the box, playing like linebacks
Speaker 1: and doing a bunch of different things tackles, sacks, forced fumbles,
Speaker 1: being able to get around the ball and a varie
Speaker 1: of different ways. Those things matter much more than just interceptions.
Speaker 1: That the safe the position a lot of money for safety. John. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good day to be a friend of him, And I'm
Speaker 1: calling him if I know it's you need. I think
Speaker 1: you need greatness at that position. These days, Cardinals are
Speaker 1: clearly paying for it. It brings you back to the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: I hope they can get some level of play out
Speaker 1: of that position for them this year. I think it's key.
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions yesterday decided to forego practice to protest
Speaker 1: the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Uh. It's
Speaker 1: the most public display I think from in the NFL
Speaker 1: team since that moment just a few days ago. Bucky,
Speaker 1: this is obviously a huge time for protests and things
Speaker 1: of that sort around these type situations, But it's another
Speaker 1: situations and the Lions decided to take a big step,
Speaker 1: and that is a big step to skip a practice. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's a big step. And what I think
Speaker 1: we're seeing and learning his map, Patrician is really trying
Speaker 1: to do a better job of connecting with the locker room.
Speaker 1: Whenever you had these player lad things and everyone was
Speaker 1: filling on board, including the coaches, it kind of brings
Speaker 1: the team together, much like we saw some of the
Speaker 1: protests that took place in Jacksonville and the team went
Speaker 1: out to support. Those things can bring your luck room
Speaker 1: together if handled in the right way. Yeah, John D.
Speaker 1: Bucky's point there. We saw it firsthand with Doug Marone
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars getting together this offseason too, to go
Speaker 1: to the police station and go downtown and do these
Speaker 1: things together. Yeah. And I think you're going to see
Speaker 1: more of it. I get there are fans who emailed
Speaker 1: the time, Hey, I don't want to see this. I
Speaker 1: want this as a break. The reality is athletics, sports
Speaker 1: and politics, culture, whatever you call it, have combined for years.
Speaker 1: Players it's okay for them to have opinions and actions
Speaker 1: on things they feel passionately about. Here's our weekly Joe
Speaker 1: Judge segments in New York. Today, he said that the
Speaker 1: Giants have thought about taking Daniel Jones's red jersey off
Speaker 1: to quote pop his pads a little bit before the
Speaker 1: season opener. Uh, they said there aren't going to throw
Speaker 1: him into the quote royal rumble or anything. Bucky, what
Speaker 1: in the world is this about? And look, man, Joe Judge,
Speaker 1: are you trying to establish a new identity for the
Speaker 1: New York Giants. He wants to be a tough team.
Speaker 1: He wants to be projected as a tough minded coach.
Speaker 1: But this would be stupid. And I mean, this is
Speaker 1: this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. To expose
Speaker 1: your quarterback, the most important position on the field, to
Speaker 1: unnecessary It's I don't understand why jo would even consider that.
Speaker 1: They want to play football for New York the football Giants. John, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's next? Put him in the Oklahoma draw? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's ah. I doubt he'll actually do it. You
Speaker 1: would think if they do do it, it would be
Speaker 1: one play and get him out to serve a point.
Speaker 1: But I agree with Buddy, I mean, I agree with Bucky.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, A couple of final thoughts here.
Speaker 1: Bengals quarterback mackenzie Alexander left the team after his father
Speaker 1: wouldn't missing and call your county, Florida. That's deep southwest Florida,
Speaker 1: Naples area. Uh. And he was later arrested on one
Speaker 1: count of battery allegedly confronted the man who left behind
Speaker 1: his father on a berry picking trip. This thing is
Speaker 1: still up in the air. He's I think about to
Speaker 1: be or has just been released on bond, so he's
Speaker 1: gonna help the search. That's a it's a tragic story.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it ends positively bucky, but that's a it's a
Speaker 1: crazy situation for him right now. Yes, certainly you're crazy
Speaker 1: since you waste and uh thoughts and prayers the McKenzie
Speaker 1: Alexander and his family Hopefully they can find his dad.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't condone the behavior. But I do understand
Speaker 1: if two guys go on a very picking trip and
Speaker 1: only one returns and the one that returns didn't bring
Speaker 1: the other, I mean, I can understand why McKenzie Alexander
Speaker 1: was very upset when he saw. Yeah, that's a this
Speaker 1: is a that's a strange one there, and just that
Speaker 1: we hope that things end well, John, I'm interested in
Speaker 1: your commentary on this next one. The league is considering
Speaker 1: the use of artificial crowd noise in the range of
Speaker 1: seventy to eighty five decibels for games without fans present.
Speaker 1: It would likely be constant throughout the game. What do
Speaker 1: you make of it? Yeah, I guess I'll have to
Speaker 1: hear it and see it. At first. I kind of
Speaker 1: get the instinct um you know, I'm I'm hesitant on it.
Speaker 1: At the same time, I think it would be equally
Speaker 1: weird to sit there as a fan and watch a
Speaker 1: game where they're complete silence. So you know, I haven't
Speaker 1: played in quite Frankly, I often prefer silence because I'm
Speaker 1: in the press box and trying to concentrate. I would
Speaker 1: be more interested in hear what Bucky, Who's played, Who's
Speaker 1: who's in that environment. In that world, it doesn't bother
Speaker 1: me to have silent, but I'm usually in a very
Speaker 1: working capacity at the game. Bucky. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it's I think it's weird to have piped in noise.
Speaker 1: We've seen it work a little bit in the bubble,
Speaker 1: but I think at the end of the day, it
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. I think once players get in and
Speaker 1: they see the opposing team, they kind of lock into
Speaker 1: the competition. Maybe from a TV viewing perspective, it helps,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. It's all kind of weird when
Speaker 1: it's it's like a video game. To me, I can
Speaker 1: see piping in for the broadcast makes a little more sense,
Speaker 1: I guess. But I guess I'll have to see and
Speaker 1: understand it more to have a hot take on it. JP.
Speaker 1: But we've well, some teams might have experience already with it.
Speaker 1: We've seen some stories. I just said that. I just
Speaker 1: said that, Bucky um So that we and it's with
Speaker 1: without fans present. So the Jaguars by that would not
Speaker 1: be involved in this because they're planning on having fans
Speaker 1: present for the game. That's our look around the National
Speaker 1: Football League. Bucky, we fooled him again, John, we did it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to keep up with Buck. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: we did. You guys make me take my game up
Speaker 1: and that I'm challenged. I'm challenged every week. I love it. Well,
Speaker 1: we're just getting started. We're two down and uh a
Speaker 1: whole bunch to go on Wednesdays. We appreciate it as always,
Speaker 1: John will look forward to your riding throughout the week.
Speaker 1: Bucky will catch up with you again next week. Thanks
Speaker 1: to our entire crew For Bucky and John, I'm J. P. Shadrick.
Speaker 1: We'll got you next week. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network.
