1
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review. I'm JP Shadwick.

2
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: And then this new podcast, we'll take a weekly look

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: at some of the highlights from Jaguars broadcasting and digital

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: shows each week in case you missed something from earlier.

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: How about it going into the weekend? Why not? First

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: of all, I hope everybody's doing well as coronavirus COVID

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: nineteen has changed our day to day lives. I'm among

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: those working at home, as is our entire office. Jaguars

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Drive Time on Tuesdays with Ashlon Sullivan, Brian Sexton and

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: John Osier is now recorded over Skype and then put

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: on the website Jaguars Happy. Our radio on Thursday is

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: done from my house in my side ports room. This

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: is now my office and the broadcast equipment that's left

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: from Touchdown Radio Network college football coverage has been turned

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: back on and it's used to broadcast the show to

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: Tintin XL. And then this past week we added a

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: video element with a great of Jaguars I t and

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: Broadcast Guru, so you can look at my bald head

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: on your screen, just what you've always wanted. We've also

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: been fortunate to record Skype conversations with new free agent

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: acquisitions and some special guests, and you'll hear more of

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: those coming up in the weeks ahead, and you'll hear

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: some of the highlights of the ones we've already done

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: coming up in just a few minutes on this podcast.

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: As of today, Friday March, the league has said that

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: team facilities are to be closed through April eight, and

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: we'll see if that gets pushed back at all. As

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: of now, Commissioner Goodell has said that the NFL Draft

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: April will go on as scheduled. Obviously, by now you

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: know that it will not be held in Las Vegas,

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: but the league is working on the logistics of it

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: where it will be held for television, et cetera. The

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: reality is the official draft is done over a computer

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: system anyway, The commissioner announcement often takes place minutes after

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: the selection is quote unquote made. Usually only two or

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: three people from each team are at the draft site.

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: For the Jaguars, it's usually Director of Facilities Mike Perkins

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and the Director of Travel Hamza mad at the table,

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: plus a PR representative On the first night, Tad Dickman

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: or Alex Brooks in the past. That's about it, and

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: from a logistics perspective, it should be pretty close to

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: the same, minus the pageantry and the dog and pony

43
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: show that surrounds it. We're inside four weeks away from

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft now, pretty crazy to think that it's

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: almost here, and it sounds like it's full speed ahead

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: mentality for the NFL. Now, let's start with some of

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: the best parts of the last week, and actually we'll

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: start with last week's Jaguars Happy Hour show. On March nineteenth,

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: our first show on home self isolation, Mike Florio of

50
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk joined us on short notice. We really

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: appreciate his time in such a weird time frame. Of course,

52
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: it's such a strange time that I asked him should

53
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: the league have moved forward with the start of free

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: agency as they did, considering everything that has happened, I

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: personally believed it should have been delayed. Now I thought

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: things we're going to get a lot worse this week

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: than they did as of Monday morning. I believe that

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: by Wednesday, at four pm Eastern, when the new league

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: year began, there was a very good chance that there

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: was going to be a national quarantine put in place,

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: which would have made it impossible for anyone to finalize

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: transactions and just would have slammed the brakes on everything.

63
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: In hindsight, I think it worked out for the NFL.

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: I know that there's some frustration out there on the

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: part of teams that believe some of the rules the

66
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: NFL put in place did not reflect a practical understanding

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: of what the needs of the teams are. And there's

68
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: been some relaxation of some of the some of the

69
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: provisions that it really didn't make a whole lot of sense,

70
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: like not announcing any deals until the physicals can be accomplished,

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: because getting the physicals done has been the most cumbersome

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: part of this because players can't come to the facility

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: and the doctors can't go to the players. But yeah,

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I I I thought they should have waited. But at

75
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: the same time, the business needed to get done at

76
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: some point, and it did provide several days of a

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: diversion and a distraction from people who are coming to

78
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: grips with the fact that they're going to be inside

79
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: for a while. Although I had a good friend asked

80
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: me the other day, not connected to the NFL world,

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: should they really have done this because it is odd

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: when people are trying to figure out where their money

83
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: is going to come from over the next couple of

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: months to read about all of these guys signing multimillion

85
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: dollar contracts. And that was one of the concerns I had,

86
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: the optics. But the other concern was just more pragmatic.

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: When is the curtain coming down on a national quarantine,

88
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: and if you've already started this process, it's going to

89
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: be very difficult to stop it. Florio also discussed the

90
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars trades at early free agency pickups and said it's

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: not a taking job. This team could do some things,

92
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: and I don't know that I would call it a

93
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: rebuild per se. I think these are things that the

94
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: team needs to do to have the cap space necessary

95
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: to go with the nucleus of young talent that they

96
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,119
Speaker 1: believe in. I'm not stunned by any of the moves

97
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: that have been made, and I don't look at it

98
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: and say it's tanking. Tanking is when you start tearing

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: it down during the season. This is a deliberate attempt

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: to make the team better, to have cap space available

101
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: to operate. To choose Gardner Minshew as the starting quarterback

102
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: and give him a chance to move forward as the guy.

103
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: He's the possible Tom Brady, the sixth round pick that

104
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: fell into their laps that ended up getting thrust into action,

105
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: not in his second season like Brady, but week one

106
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: of his rookie year. And he's passed all the tests

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: and he's an exciting player, and he he stimulates the

108
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: fan base, and that's what you're looking for. And yeah,

109
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: you want to also win. But I don't look at

110
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: this because I've seen so many people in the meteor

111
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: like every every move that gets made while they're tanking,

112
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: while they're tanking, while they're tanking. No they're not. And

113
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: we'll see if this is a deliberate process that ultimately

114
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: results in the team being better than it was last year.

115
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: One of those editions in free agency, the first one,

116
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: in fact, was former Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe's Shobert. He'll

117
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: play in the middle, and that means that Miles Jack

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: will moved to the weak side linebacker position, the former

119
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: position of Telvin Smith and last year Quincy Williams. Jaguars

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: analyst Jeff Logaman explains more about the addition of Schobert

121
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: and the move of Jack on Jaguars Happy Hour. Well,

122
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't don't think anybody's surprised with the move of

123
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Miles Jack on the Week's side, because look, the last

124
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: two years shown that it took. It just wasn't working

125
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: at a high level for Miles Jack at the mic position.

126
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: And the reality is Joe Schobert is a good football player.

127
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: He's a natural Mike Greg Williams, who was the defensive

128
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: coordinator and then for a short period of time the

129
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: interim head coach with Cleveland Browns, I mean that guy

130
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: knows football. And Greg Williams is not one to banny

131
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: about with a lot of compliments with football players that

132
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: he's coached, but he absolutely loves Joe Schobert and can

133
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: never say enough good things about him. So I think

134
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tremendous acquisition acquisition. I think it

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: does a couple of things, things which allows you to

136
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: get a good football player, good middle linebacker, but then

137
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: also to move Miles Jack to the week's high position,

138
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: which the week's high position. You know, we also for

139
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: many years Telvin Smith played it, played it at a

140
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: pretty high level, and it's a speed position and Miles

141
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: Jack has beat, and I think the challenge for Miles

142
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: Jack is to take his next step and being a pro.

143
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: I thought Miles Jack last year, somewhat the year before,

144
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: played not in the greatest of shape and not at

145
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: the greatest of weight, and I think he needs to

146
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: dedicate himself and it's going to be a challenging year

147
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: to do that, because who knows if you're going to

148
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: have the organized team activities or team workouts to be

149
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: able to do that type of thing in that environment.

150
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: So he's got to take the challenge upon himself and

151
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: get himself in the best shape possible to be able

152
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: to accept the challenge of moving to the week's side linebacker.

153
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: A little later, Ashland Sullivan caught up with Shoulbert over Skype,

154
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: and the new addition has had to figure out a

155
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: new routine of staying in shape. So take me through

156
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: how much your life has changed just in one day. Socially,

157
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: social media wise, it's changed quite a bit. I have

158
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: a new team and all that, but personally it hasn't

159
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: changed at all. I'm still sitting in my parents my

160
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: in law's parents house, uh, trying to get through my workouts,

161
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: figure out where to go to workout where to go

162
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: to run and stay safe and stay healthy in these times?

163
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: How much of that is a challenge. I know, football

164
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: is such a routine game. You guys are used to

165
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: go on facilities and having a strict workout. I mean,

166
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: is it back to high school days when you're running outside. Yeah, definitely.

167
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: There's a field just a couple of blocks away from

168
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: my from the house I'm staying at, um so going

169
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: over there and running. I brought some weights home and

170
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: some bars home to the basement here to kind of

171
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: have a improvised home gym in the basement of in

172
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: law's house, So taking up a lot of space in

173
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: a lot of room. But I think they understand it's

174
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: important for for what I do. So they're they've been

175
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: very good about it, and let me do that. More Ashland,

176
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: this time with head coach Doug Moron, who said the

177
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: addition of Showbert should strengthen the entire linebacking corps, not

178
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: just one position. So we were looking at you know,

179
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: Will linebacker, Samlon linebacker, you know, Mic linebacker, thinking what

180
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: would be the best thing for our football team. So

181
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, you know,

182
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: we looked at a guy like Joe and really felt

183
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: great about the things that he was able to do,

184
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, being able to tackle, being able to diagnose. Um,

185
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: we feel that you know, Miles is natural position as Will.

186
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: You know, I've talked to him. He's excited about it. Um,

187
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: he's fired up for it. So you know, when you

188
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: can get a player like Joe Ann who's uh, you know,

189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: a true middle linebacker and it's played the position, played

190
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: it at a high level, uh, is really gonna help us,

191
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: not just in the one position, at the mic position,

192
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: but obviously we're gonna get better play you know from

193
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Miles move into more natural position, which is Will. So

194
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: you know, we made one move, but it's gonna help

195
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: us in overall in the whole linebacking corps. Now on

196
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: to Rodney Gunter, defensive lineman from the Arizona Cardinals. He

197
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: played four years in Arizona and then they reach find

198
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: him for a fifth season last year and now it's

199
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: on the free agency and he's now with the Jaguars.

200
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: He should be a big part of that rotation, at

201
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: least on the defensive front. He's a native of the

202
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Haines City, Florida area, and his high school story and

203
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: how he got back into football. It's pretty remarkable. As

204
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: he told me on a Skype interview, you had to

205
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: do some work to help the family out. You did

206
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: a lot before you even started playing football. Yeah, man,

207
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was the old as our

208
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: three boys. My mom was a senior parent and she

209
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: needed help, you know, throughout the time, you know, and

210
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: I was old as I had to give me a

211
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: job and helper out with bills and stuff. So I

212
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: sacrificed football for my first two years in high school.

213
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: And uh, I was missing the game. You know. I

214
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: was a matter of fact, was a dishwasher and I

215
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: was I was a waiter too, so had a helper

216
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: out for a couple of years. And uh, like, I

217
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: was going into my senior year in my high school

218
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: and I was just missing football, and I went out,

219
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to go out my senior with

220
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: the band, and I decided to play football my last year,

221
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: and I was I was fortunate to receive the Scottish

222
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: from Denver State University and when they're all four years,

223
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: and was blessed to get a chance to play football

224
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: at next level and accomplished my dream. Gutter also said

225
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: that he learned a lot from now former Jaguars defensive

226
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: lineman Calias Campbell, And isn't that a little strange to say? Still,

227
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: he was a teammate of Gunters in Arizona. I mean

228
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: I was fortunately, you know, spent two years, my first

229
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: two years with Klai's Campbell. Man. He's a great guy.

230
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: Got tons of respect for him and also a good

231
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: guy on the field. Off to fail. Coming in as

232
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: a ricky, he taught me no great he taught me well.

233
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: Man taught me well. He was like a mentor to me,

234
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: like a big brother to me and everything. I have

235
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: so much respect for the guy. Good stuff there from

236
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: Rodney Gunter could be a good addition upfront for this

237
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars football team. Now, the Jaguars Drive Time on Tuesday

238
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: morning of this week. They taped it over Skype, and

239
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: as always, they dug into the Ozone mail bag. Ashland,

240
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: John and Brian answer a question about draft picks. All right,

241
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: let's go to New York that he Scott, what do

242
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: you got for us with the Jags stockpiling draft picks?

243
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: One begins to wonder, at what point do you have

244
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: too many picks? How many players drafted in this offseason's dropped?

245
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: Do you think make the opening day roster? One thing

246
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: you don't know. I anticipate perhaps them using some of

247
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: these picks to move around a little bit. Uh. You know,

248
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they had another pick or

249
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: two before the draft. I don't know that, but wouldn't

250
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: shock you to see him go into this thing with thirteen. Um,

251
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: you know where they're gonna have twelve. I think the

252
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: answer to the second question is if they have twelve

253
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: draft picks with this roster right now, with this team,

254
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: I think all of the would make the team. I

255
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: think a thirteen or fourteen. Because young players can play

256
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: special teams. You would figure a lot of those guys

257
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: are drafted linebacker depth, drafted cornerback or safety depth. UM.

258
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know they would draft use all those twelve players,

259
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: but if they did, you know, every rook he's gonna

260
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: make the team. I mean, every drafts to make the team.

261
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprises to mind drafted rooks make the team. Ryan,

262
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me all. In fact, I would be

263
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: stunned if they didn't make it all because this team

264
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: doesn't have the additional cap room. You know, recent years

265
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: they've gone out and signed the Jeff Swains of the world.

266
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: Guys are gonna cost him four million dollars a year,

267
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: which is a bargain for a veteran player who's gonna

268
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: come in and do a couple of different things. He's

269
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna line up in the backfield, lineup on the line

270
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Oh and by the way, playing on your

271
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: coverage team. So they'll use all those picks. Don't forget

272
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: also the Dave Caldwell has the option to use some

273
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: of these picks and trade into two thousand and twenty

274
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: ones draft, which gives him flexibility. So just because he

275
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: has them this year, and John, I'm like you, I

276
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: think they're going to use him to move around, to

277
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: go up into the first round, or to go back

278
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: into the third, or however they want to arrange it.

279
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: But Dave, I guarantee you has a strategy for a

280
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: number of those picks to be used to create capital

281
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: for next year as well. And let's not forget all

282
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: about the offensive holds we've been talking about that still

283
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: have yet to be filled in free agency. Offensive line

284
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: tight end, you wouldn't hate to have another running back, quarterback.

285
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: You still have so many holes with those picks. You

286
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: got to fill those hole on offense. Hey, look, this

287
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: is now officially a rebuilding football team. If we didn't

288
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: believe that when Boyer was traded, it became clear when

289
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: Klais Campbell was sent packing. Again. I use a term

290
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: that I know Dave Colbell doesn't like to use. He

291
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: likes to talk about building, not rebuilding. Uh, but all

292
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: those picks are going to be important for a team

293
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: that this year is against the cap and has plenty

294
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: of holes on the roster to fill. I think the

295
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: good news on that front is I think they're gonna

296
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: draft a running back in the internet to wide receiver,

297
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna draft two guys at that

298
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: spot who they want to play pretty quickly, and running back.

299
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna want to try to get a change of

300
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: pace guy wide receiver. I think they're going on a

301
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: guy who who actually plays. But you can get both

302
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: of those positions, especially in this year's draft. You can

303
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: get wide receiver third or fourth round and come in

304
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: and play right away. You can always get running back

305
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: in that spot. So the picks they've got sort of

306
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: line up with the Needs. That show airs each Tuesday

307
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: at nine o'clock on the Jaguars social media pages and

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: now onto Jaguars Happy Our Radio. Thursday, a mini Doug

309
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Morone show broke out at the start of the show

310
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: as the head coach joined me over the phone. The

311
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: early editions on defense and free agency were run defense oriented,

312
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: and that's no coincidence. But then after the season when

313
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: you're looking, you know, at bettering your football team and

314
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: you start writing some things down, you know, obviously ourselves,

315
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: the coaches, the scouts and myself along with Dave. You know,

316
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: we talked about, okay, listen, how are we gonna you know,

317
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: let let's get some people in here that are you know,

318
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: that can defend the run and stop the run. You know,

319
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: that can make the tackle, you know, because tackling is

320
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: obviously a big thing, and you know that's where we

321
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: looked at. There's some big body guys that can move well.

322
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: We feel confident that we have obviously a couple of

323
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: good guys. You know. Obviously it's good pass rushes with

324
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, Yannick and Josh and you know, Smooth came along,

325
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: you know for us Laurents. You know, hopefully we'll be

326
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: able to give us some help out there. Um, but

327
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: then we we got some big body guys to go

328
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: ahead and hold the line of scrimmage, and I think

329
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna help us. I think we made a move

330
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: with Joe Schober at Mike that you know enables us

331
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: now to move Miles to Will, which you know he's

332
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: played all three positions well, but Will is probably his

333
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: most natural positions. So we feel we're going to get

334
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, better play out of out of you know,

335
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: the whole linebacker crew. And a guy that cash is

336
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: marsh comes in and he's a guy that can play up,

337
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: play down. We're looking for a pass rush out of him,

338
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: can play sam backer, so you know, there's some versatility,

339
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: and there's some versatility along the line with those defensive

340
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: linemen that you mentioned too. And later in that show,

341
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: a little respite from football, we caught up with Jaguars

342
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: super Fans season ticket member and really the best guitarist

343
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: on the planet, Derek Truck's. The coronavirus pandemic has knocked

344
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: the sports world back a little, of course, but certainly

345
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: the music industry as well, especially the live show business.

346
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: Derek was involved in some of the final shows to

347
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: be held in New York City before the shutdown and

348
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: told me on a skype interview how odd it all

349
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: really was. The Allman Brothers tribute show at Madison Square

350
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: Garden a sell out there. And then I think the

351
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: next night you were at the Beacon, or two nights

352
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: later at the Beacon. Um, that had to be some

353
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: strange times when everything was starting to set in in

354
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: New York and you were basically the last last resort

355
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: for people to get out of the house. It felt like, yeah,

356
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was an odd time because

357
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: you could feel like coming and you know, there were

358
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: whispers that everything was gonna shut down, and um, you're

359
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: kind of torn between, uh, we really want to bring

360
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: thousand people into together, but um, the show went on

361
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: and uh the show was amazing. That the show two

362
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: nights later the Beacon was much stranger because they that

363
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: was the day they put in the no crowds over

364
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: five hundred people uh rule into effect, and uh so

365
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: they had the Beacon Theater with maybe three hundred people

366
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: in it, and it it just it felt like the

367
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: last party before the end of the world. It was

368
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: a little odd. And then unfortunately, I think, um five

369
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: six people that were either playing or work in that show,

370
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: I've already tested positive. So it's it's yeah Jackson Brown,

371
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: who's Susan saying a duet with that night, and um,

372
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of the band, and it's it's a little, uh,

373
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: a little lot. I had a bad feeling about that one.

374
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: I tried to I tried to get that show pulled,

375
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: but not not everyone was on board. How's everybody feeling now,

376
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: might we? You know, as soon as we got home

377
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: from New York, we went into full self quarantine mode.

378
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: We had a feeling that, uh, that New York was

379
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna be bad and uh, you know, our parents lived

380
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: down the street and my grandfather's down the roads. So

381
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: we we've made we've stayed away from everybody. Um, we've

382
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: had symptoms, you know. I think it's about a coin

383
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: flip on whether we had it or not. But no

384
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: reason to attack the healthcare system if if you're feeling,

385
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: you know, you're just gonna self quarantine anyways, if you

386
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: don't need to be uh, if you don't need a

387
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: hospital bed. So we're uh, we're a okay, feeling better

388
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: by the day. But I think I think we made

389
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: it through it, and uh, maybe our antibodies are a

390
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: little better now. We'll see. But avoid your parents and

391
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: wash your hand. Good advice. Thank you, Derek. That's uh,

392
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: that's great advice. Thanks again to Derek for his time

393
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: this week skyping from the front yard while the kids

394
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: use the internet for schoolwork. That's a new reality for

395
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: the time being. The band was already scheduled to be

396
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: off through June anyway, but now each Thursday they're showing

397
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: a live archive replay of concerts. More info Toedesky Trucks

399
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: giving fans something to watch or interact with, or a

400
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: way to raise funds, two groups really impacted by this pandemic.
