Speaker 2: a good night. I didn't have to go far about
Speaker 2: this building. And so yeah, busy week. Players are back.
Speaker 2: There is today Balky and Peterson speaking today, and we're
Speaker 2: a week to the draft, and there's a lot to
Speaker 2: discuss today. It's a it's a it's a cool time
Speaker 2: year for the NFL because you know, this is the
Speaker 2: Hope Springs Eternal. I guess he's saying that you could
Speaker 2: kind of use for this time of year because every
Speaker 2: team is kind of getting started with the off season stuff,
Speaker 2: and so there's a little bit of excitement that builds
Speaker 2: in every community that these NFL teams are at. And
Speaker 2: then also with the draft, right around the corner. That
Speaker 2: provides hope for a lot of teams that haven't been
Speaker 2: that good that hey, look, maybe this year we can
Speaker 2: really get some good players to where we can we
Speaker 2: can compete, We can compete for a title, including this team.
Speaker 2: So it's a fun time of year to be an
Speaker 2: NFL fan because you're not losing. Everybody's good. Everybody's got
Speaker 2: a hope. Yeah, most everybody who doesn't namely one team
Speaker 2: that doesn't have hope Cardinals. Yeah, that's true, there's one. Gosh,
Speaker 2: what's going on? I mean, are you following what's going
Speaker 2: on with uh with Terry McDonough Bill, Well, No, he's
Speaker 2: not soon everybody. He's just he's going to go after
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Bidwell, I mean some of the things that
Speaker 2: are coming out, all that kind of stuff. If people
Speaker 2: haven't read it, I mean, go read about the Cardinals
Speaker 2: and Terry McDonough who I know Terry. He was here
Speaker 2: for a period of time with the Jaguars, and he
Speaker 2: filed a grievance against against the Cardinals, which it's his
Speaker 2: right to do that, that's how the system is set up.
Speaker 2: And then the Cardinals came at him with almost a
Speaker 2: personal attack and which found was found by an in
Speaker 2: house person that looks at those things for the NFL
Speaker 2: founds to be true and they were bad mouthed and
Speaker 2: Terry as his family. I mean, it's just a bad thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So that was the first team that popped in my
Speaker 2: head that might not have a we'll see, well, if
Speaker 2: you got bidwell running the show, Yeah you've got you
Speaker 2: don't have a whole lot of chance of winning football
Speaker 2: games in Arizona.
Speaker 3: Let's get to a team that does have a chance,
Speaker 3: and this is Jacksonville Jaguars, of course, and the GM
Speaker 3: Trent balk and head coach Dog Peterson speaking earlier today
Speaker 3: at a press conference at two o'clock here at the
Speaker 3: Miller of Electric Center, the pre draft media lunch and
Speaker 3: Trent Bulkey discussing trade possibilities from number seventeen.
Speaker 2: There's a lot, as.
Speaker 4: You know, that goes into it. You know, we feel
Speaker 4: good about the group that's there, you know, at different positions.
Speaker 4: You know that we're focused in on a little bit,
Speaker 4: but you don't know what's going to happen, you know,
Speaker 4: you don't You really aren't going to know what we're
Speaker 4: going to do until maybe the twelfth or thirteenth pick,
Speaker 4: you know, and then we'll we'll look at the opportunity
Speaker 4: to potentially move up, you know, and if we get
Speaker 4: to sixteen, like we did last year, and somebody calls
Speaker 4: and there's a chance to move back one or two,
Speaker 4: you know, you just don't know's you're playing it on
Speaker 4: game day.
Speaker 2: So he mentioned last year. It actually last year logs,
Speaker 2: the Jags moved back twice in the first round before
Speaker 2: picking Anton Harrison in the first round the right tackle,
Speaker 2: and it is. It happened a number of times, in fact,
Speaker 2: eight different times, eight different drafts. The Jaguars have first round.
Speaker 3: Trade history, either up or down or trading back into
Speaker 3: the first round, starting way back in ninety five, they
Speaker 3: started thirty first overall with a supplemental pick. They obviously
Speaker 3: had the number two pick that year with Bisselli, but
Speaker 3: they had a later pick and moved up to nineteenth
Speaker 3: overall in that draft to get James Stewart. Rob Johnson
Speaker 3: traded a Buffalo to get the ninth overall pick. Of course,
Speaker 3: in ninety eight Fred Taylor two thousand and seven, Reggie
Speaker 3: Nelson was the pick when the Jags moved down to
Speaker 3: twenty one two thousand and eight. Derek Harvey was the pick.
Speaker 3: They moved up to eighth to get him. Twenty eleven,
Speaker 3: Blaine Gabbert moved up to tenth to get him. From
Speaker 3: sixteen twenty twelve, moved up from seven to five to
Speaker 3: get Justin Blackman, and then a trade up back into
Speaker 3: the first round in twenty two to get Devin Lloyd
Speaker 3: and as we mentioned Anton Harris from last year. Leave
Speaker 3: that graphic up for a minute Jaguars dot Com free video.
Speaker 2: If you look at that graphic and you say, okay,
Speaker 2: what can be learned from this? What do you take
Speaker 2: away from that graphic? Because you know, hindsight's always twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: but you know, look, you sometimes have to use hindsight
Speaker 2: to be able to learn about what not to do
Speaker 2: or what to do in the future.
Speaker 3: I see James Stewart had some big moments here. Fred
Speaker 3: Taylor certainly did.
Speaker 2: Well. That's not really I mean, that wasn't a trade
Speaker 2: active trade during the draft process. That was okay, So
Speaker 2: I don't consider that. I'm talking about trading up or
Speaker 2: down in the first round. It costs you a lot
Speaker 2: to move up, I know, well, and also look, you
Speaker 2: trade it up to get James Stewart, Okay, good football player,
Speaker 2: solid guy, I mean, great guy. Was it ultra productive? No?
Speaker 2: Reggie Nelson seventeenth and you moved to twenty first offs
Speaker 2: trade back, but then you moved up to the eighth
Speaker 2: spot overall for Derek Harvey. That did not work out.
Speaker 2: It did not work out for Blain Gabbert. But I
Speaker 2: get it. You're taking a shot at a quarterback. Sometimes
Speaker 2: you have to do that. You traded up to get
Speaker 2: Justin Blackman. It didn't pay any dividends, okay, and then
Speaker 2: you also, uh with Devin Lloyd. You traded up to
Speaker 2: get Devon And right now, if you if you're making
Speaker 2: an opinion on that, is was that a success or
Speaker 2: was that just kind of Eh? I think we're still
Speaker 2: the jury is still still being determined. But right now,
Speaker 2: if you had to make a decision on it, you
Speaker 2: would say, eh, it's not wasn't a great It wasn't
Speaker 2: a great trade, but it's not done yet. And then
Speaker 2: you know, to trade back and to get Anton Harrison,
Speaker 2: you acquired so many extra pixel The lesson is to
Speaker 2: me is that trading up is not necessarily a positive thing.
Speaker 2: And Trent Balkey alluded to that. In this press conference today,
Speaker 2: he said, Look, the analytics guys will tell you that
Speaker 2: trading up is never a good thing, and he's right.
Speaker 2: I just unless you're going up to get a quarterback.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, for every other position, you just stay
Speaker 2: put where you are, or you try to move back
Speaker 2: and then take the best available player, not a guy
Speaker 2: that well he might be the best player, but we
Speaker 2: got a need there. No take the best available player always,
Speaker 2: in my.
Speaker 3: Opinion, unless you know for a fact, in your heart
Speaker 3: of hearts, that the guy you're moving up for another
Speaker 3: position is a Hall of Fame talent, right.
Speaker 2: And how do you really know? You don't know that.
Speaker 2: You don't know that. But if you haven't know that,
Speaker 2: if you as a percentage of game, it's a percentage
Speaker 2: of game, you know. So you've got Aaron Donald sitting
Speaker 2: there waiting on you. But that is coming out from Pittsburgh, JP.
Speaker 2: I watched the film on him, and I'm sitting there
Speaker 2: watching the film and I'm going and he's really good.
Speaker 2: He's got quickness, he's got sudden this. But man, he's
Speaker 2: kind of small. I mean, like I said, I watched
Speaker 2: the film on him. I didn't see Hall of Fame guy.
Speaker 2: I watched the film on t J. Watt and I
Speaker 2: was like, and I don't think he's the first rounder.
Speaker 2: He's probably a second rounder. He's one of the best
Speaker 2: players in the league right now. You know, So again,
Speaker 2: it's a percentage of game. But you know, when I
Speaker 2: watched the defensive end in Cleveland, hands down, this guy
Speaker 2: is a super freak. No doubt, this guy is a
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame type of talent. I mean, but I mean,
Speaker 2: so that's one of the guys that I probably watched.
Speaker 2: When I watched Clowney coming out, I was like, Clowney,
Speaker 2: this guy can do everything. He's sudden, he's violent, he
Speaker 2: can play anywhere, he can be moved around. I don't
Speaker 2: know if he's a great pass rusher saw me. My
Speaker 2: evaluation on him was pretty fairly accurate. It wasn't perfect
Speaker 2: because I thought that he would be more of an
Speaker 2: impact throughout his career. But one of those guys it's
Speaker 2: just you know, freakish. And so again, because it's a
Speaker 2: percentage of game, I don't ever think that you go
Speaker 2: into any pick saying this guy's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: It just doesn't work that way. The other part a
Speaker 2: lot of conversations they have about a thirty minute at
Speaker 2: plus press conference today for Trim Balke and Doug Peterson.
Speaker 3: But he talked about the different variables that you look
Speaker 3: at when scouting in prospect. One of those is football
Speaker 3: IQ and how do you scout that as a GM
Speaker 3: and a scouting staff.
Speaker 4: You know, we zoom call these guys. We send coaches
Speaker 4: to workouts, we send coaches to meet with them, We
Speaker 4: bring them in on the thirty visit. We get in
Speaker 4: front of them as much as we can every opportunity
Speaker 4: we get a chance to talk to a guy that
Speaker 4: we have concerns about, we do. We interview them at
Speaker 4: the Combine, We interview them at the All Star Games,
Speaker 4: we interview them at their pro days. We get as
Speaker 4: much time in front of them as we can. The
Speaker 4: coaches make calls to the to the coaches that work
Speaker 4: with these players. You know, you gather as much as
Speaker 4: you can, you know, and so and usually by the
Speaker 4: time you get to the draft, you got them pretty
Speaker 4: well figured out from that perspective. And sometimes guys come
Speaker 4: in and they fool you, you know, and you can't
Speaker 4: just use test scores to say a guy can learn
Speaker 4: or can't learn that doesn't work. There's guys that have
Speaker 4: had low test scores that learn extremely well. There's guys
Speaker 4: that have had high test scores that don't learn very
Speaker 4: well when it comes to football. So you just got
Speaker 4: you just got to do your homework.
Speaker 3: And we know from the past around here, at least
Speaker 3: the recent past, that Doug Peterson from a coaching perspective,
Speaker 3: needs that high football IQ type of player, and certainly
Speaker 3: in those skill positions at wide receiver when guys are
Speaker 3: moving and routes can change mid play and you've got
Speaker 3: to be on and know everything going on.
Speaker 2: And I think it's pretty unique. My experiences in the
Speaker 2: league for being around it for a long time as
Speaker 2: a player and then as an analyst, is that there
Speaker 2: are different kinds of smarts. I mean, you don't necessarily
Speaker 2: have to have a player who is book smart to
Speaker 2: be smart in football or to have football IQ. I mean,
Speaker 2: some of the smartest guys I was ever around, some
Speaker 2: of them weren't book smart, but man a new football
Speaker 2: and they had that instinct, that anticipation when they played
Speaker 2: the game that other guys that were smart and could
Speaker 2: test okay on paper outstanding, but you put them in
Speaker 2: that moment, and they just it didn't. It didn't function,
Speaker 2: It didn't it didn't compute for them. So I think
Speaker 2: Trent is spot on when he talks about how there's
Speaker 2: different kinds of football smarts and you know, and and
Speaker 2: the one thing that I would do if if I
Speaker 2: was a gym, and I'm sure that this football team
Speaker 2: probably does it, I would think that they would, is
Speaker 2: that you're getting ready to invest in the in the draft. Okay, JP,
Speaker 2: this year's draft class. What's the total amount that this
Speaker 2: team has to spend for this draft class? Ballpark? Do
Speaker 2: you know? Ten or something? Ten to ten? But it's
Speaker 2: ten million? But I mean contracts overall. If you added
Speaker 2: up the total value of the contract, it's what is it,
Speaker 2: one hundred million? I mean it's expensive. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of money cheap. So if you're getting ready to invest
Speaker 2: millions of dollars, would you hire a quote person to vet,
Speaker 2: to do background research, to investigate everything that you could
Speaker 2: find about the prospects that you say, Hey, look we
Speaker 2: like these guys. Let's know, let's get to know more
Speaker 2: about them. I'm private eye, I mean whatever you want
Speaker 2: to call. I would want to know everything about these guys.
Speaker 2: If I'm getting ready to drop millions of dollars down
Speaker 2: in an investment and to bring in to my locker
Speaker 2: room guys that I know could have a big impact,
Speaker 2: and then they also could have a bad impact. I
Speaker 2: want to know as much as I can. And I'm
Speaker 2: not saying that you need to have sherlock homes guys
Speaker 2: in there like doing this wire tapping and things all that. No,
Speaker 2: and no I'm not talking that smart. I know that
Speaker 2: was awesome the shoe phone, the shoe phone, pull that out.
Speaker 2: But to the point of that, you you try to
Speaker 2: pursue every relationship, every avenue that you possibly can to
Speaker 2: investigate somebody's background that you're going to be investing millions in,
Speaker 2: And not so much because of the dollar amount, but
Speaker 2: because if you if you mess up and somebody's a
Speaker 2: bad person, you've lost an opportunity to improve your team.
Speaker 2: So I would think when Trent talks about you know,
Speaker 2: you're talking to all these people and that's all part
Speaker 2: of that vetting process and doing the background work to
Speaker 2: find out who that person is at its core.
Speaker 3: Plitting ahead, we'll hear from the head coach, Doug Peterson.
Speaker 3: We'll hear from Trevor Lawrence on the contract discussions.
Speaker 2: That's all ahead.
Speaker 3: We're on tendonextlam, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, JP Shatwick
Speaker 3: with Jeff Logoman and Jaguars Happy Hour is brought to
Speaker 3: you by the Saint John's River Water Management District. Florida's
Speaker 3: water It's worth saving.
Speaker 5: There's definitely been some conversations, you know, as far as
Speaker 5: where that's at now, it's not really my focus. You know.
Speaker 5: I'd love to love to obviously be a jag so
Speaker 5: for as long as possible. We love it here and
Speaker 5: I love where we're headed as an organization and feel
Speaker 5: like I'm just getting better every year and my best
Speaker 5: ball is definitely ahead of me. So from that standpoint, obviously, yeah,
Speaker 5: that that would be great. But like I said, it's
Speaker 5: going into my fourth year. It's not like this is
Speaker 5: necessarily gonna be my my last season. You know, There's
Speaker 5: a lot that could happen, So not really my focus
Speaker 5: right now. At the end of the day, my job
Speaker 5: isn't gonna change whether I get extended or not before
Speaker 5: this season. My job is to go win games and
Speaker 5: to be the best I can be for this team
Speaker 5: so we can have a chance to win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: So even if I get the contract extension, that's still
Speaker 5: my job even more so, you know, he's even more
Speaker 5: expectation and pressure on that. So for me, I have
Speaker 5: the same focus, in the same mindset.
Speaker 2: I can't lie.
Speaker 5: Obviously, it would be nice to have to have that
Speaker 5: done and you know, feel good about it, but no,
Speaker 5: it's not.
Speaker 2: Really the focus right now.
Speaker 5: I know where we're at, I know where we're heading,
Speaker 5: and I know what I have to do, and you know,
Speaker 5: there's some improvements that I have to make going forward.
Speaker 3: That is Trevor Lawrence earlier this week discussing the contract
Speaker 3: negotiations and welcome back Shaguar's Happy Hour, brought to you
Speaker 3: by the Saint John's River Water Management District, Florida's water
Speaker 3: it's worth saving and whether you need air, electric or
Speaker 3: plumbing service, Donovan is always.
Speaker 2: A good call.
Speaker 3: They've been trusted by their customers for almost forty years.
Speaker 3: Trust them to deliver a fast, reliable service to your home.
Speaker 2: Well. Trent Balkey today discussed the other side of those
Speaker 2: conversations real quick though, let me just throw out there,
Speaker 2: because you know Trevor's conversation about his contract and me
Speaker 2: and you were having a conversation during a break and
Speaker 2: that they have the opportunity to pick up the fifth
Speaker 2: year option in May, and May second is the deadline
Speaker 2: for both of the first round draft picks that year.
Speaker 2: It'd be him and Travis etn And because Trevor is
Speaker 2: in and his party and Trent talked about how they're
Speaker 2: having conversations with Trevor's people as we talked about that
Speaker 2: this recently is last night, yep. And so I was
Speaker 2: going to make the suggestion to Trevor because you see
Speaker 2: a lot of these NFL players that are doing that
Speaker 2: now that they stopped following the team on social media.
Speaker 2: And so Triv's going to say to Trevor, you know,
Speaker 2: he needs to stop following the Jaguars, you know, remove
Speaker 2: any kind of Jaguars logos from the social media accounts
Speaker 2: until he gets a new contract. Is that the not
Speaker 2: the dumbest thing you've ever heard? How people do that?
Speaker 2: It was just stupid. It's childish. Who was the latest
Speaker 2: guy that just did that? I can't remember who it was.
Speaker 2: I was reading somewhere. Didn't Jalen do that too? And
Speaker 2: such a childish clown act? I mean, come, on. Are
Speaker 2: you serious, boy, that's really gonna change this posture of
Speaker 2: the negotiations if you remove your team from your social
Speaker 2: media account. Come on. By the way, the Jaguar has
Speaker 2: been nominated Pro Web Award and the Sports Video category
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty three schedule e Least Video.
Speaker 3: But we can't win without you. Go cast your vote
Speaker 3: now at Webeawards dot com, Webby Awards dot com.
Speaker 2: This is the last day you can vote. You gotta
Speaker 2: get it in today, I believe before midnightety I voted
Speaker 2: last week. Thank you for that. We appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Let's continue with the Jaguars head coach, who was also
Speaker 3: at the podium today alongside Trent Balkey. And you know,
Speaker 3: I was asked a lot about the working together, the
Speaker 3: cooperation between scouting and coaching, and it continues here in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6: It as far as you know, our involvement is a
Speaker 6: staff myself, it's it's the best.
Speaker 2: I've been around.
Speaker 6: It's one of the things that Trent really has been
Speaker 6: open to to, you know, the evaluation process from the
Speaker 6: coaches right, and he understands the coaching side of it
Speaker 6: as well as the scouting.
Speaker 2: Side of it.
Speaker 6: And in the involved has been you know, it's the
Speaker 6: same every year. It's probably even gotten a little bit more,
Speaker 6: you know, just the more comfortable that we are working together.
Speaker 6: And and you know, it's it takes everybody, you know,
Speaker 6: to put a roster together, and it's not about one
Speaker 6: guy making all the decisions right and and so there's
Speaker 6: a lot of input. He values what the coaches say
Speaker 6: and how the coaches ranked and stack players just like
Speaker 6: you know, you know, we appreciate what the scouts do
Speaker 6: because they're the ones that are out there, you know,
Speaker 6: every single day scouting these players. So it's been a
Speaker 6: really good process and one that one that uh, as
Speaker 6: a coach, you know, you can really appreciate.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: So that's Doug Peterson's perspective and response about that today
Speaker 3: at the press conference. Full press conference available at Jaguars
Speaker 3: dot com.
Speaker 2: And this is an interesting time of year because.
Speaker 3: Players are back in off season program, so you've got
Speaker 3: to balance what you're doing with them for at least
Speaker 3: a few hours a day and getting the you know,
Speaker 3: everything the new defense going and all this go on
Speaker 3: strength and conditioning right now, and then you're getting ready
Speaker 3: for the draft as well. And you're contributing to that process.
Speaker 3: So for a head coach, there's a lot of this
Speaker 3: play well.
Speaker 2: And they also talked a little bit during the press
Speaker 2: conference because now that you have a new defense and
Speaker 2: a new defensive coordinator, for example, pass coaches here in
Speaker 2: the past, Mike Smith wanted a certain type of corner,
Speaker 2: wanted a certain type of defensive linemen. Hey, Gus Bradley
Speaker 2: wanted the length corners, you know, the tall, long kind
Speaker 2: of guys, kind of like what they had in Seattle
Speaker 2: back in the day. Mike Caldwell wanted corners that could
Speaker 2: place a man. Okay, what does Ryan want? You know?
Speaker 2: You know then, so there's been these conversations. According today
Speaker 2: Tent Trent said that they had a conversation. Last name
Speaker 2: Ryan Nielsen, right, the new defensive coordinator, and him and
Speaker 2: Trent had a conversation about the type of players that
Speaker 2: he wants to have for his defense. And then also
Speaker 2: Trent alluded to the fact that it's kind of comes
Speaker 2: a little bit from that mindset of the parcels camps
Speaker 2: of trends that he has experienced kind of looking for
Speaker 2: those types that Nielsen is looking for. But that's important
Speaker 2: because coaches always want to have a certain skill set
Speaker 2: at every position group in their mind that's going to
Speaker 2: be able to function to make it all work together.
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see a lot of things
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball this year. Number
Speaker 2: one is the draft and how they draft and what
Speaker 2: type of players are they going to be targeting. But
Speaker 2: then also what's that the targeted players, how are they
Speaker 2: going to fit into this new scheme? Because you know,
Speaker 2: we we think we know what the scheme is going
Speaker 2: to be, we don't know for sure because every time,
Speaker 2: even though a defensive coordinator may move from Team A
Speaker 2: to Team B, a lot of times the staff that
Speaker 2: he has from Team A to Team B will change
Speaker 2: and sometimes a little bit of that scheme will change
Speaker 2: along with it because of input from others. So it'll
Speaker 2: be fun to watch to see all of that come
Speaker 2: together again.
Speaker 3: The full press conference from today available at Jaguars dot com.
Speaker 3: Let's rewind a little bit back to Tuesday. It was Tuesday, right,
Speaker 3: Today's Thursday.
Speaker 2: Today is Thursday, all day? Right, Every Thursday, we do
Speaker 2: this show all day. It's Thursday, not all day just well, no,
Speaker 2: the show's an hour four to five this time, but
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. It's Thursday, but two days ago was Tuesday,
Speaker 2: and that's when Trevor Lawrence we just heard from a
Speaker 2: moment ago and Fourier lu Khan, the Jaguars linebackers spoken
Speaker 2: as you said, logs a little different on defense, new coordinator,
Speaker 2: some new faces there. But for Fourier Lukhn he's been
Speaker 2: around here for a couple of years now. He's trying
Speaker 2: to make that transition as well. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: new However, he's.
Speaker 3: Not putting away the disappointment of the disappointment of last
Speaker 3: season so easily.
Speaker 7: That would be in a rearview maybe next year after
Speaker 7: this season. I mean, I got a lot of questions
Speaker 7: on it throughout the offseason, and it's hard to think about.
Speaker 2: This win.
Speaker 7: It even started. We started off winning, but we weren't
Speaker 7: winning convincingly. How maybe the score mightish, but we knew
Speaker 7: that we weren't playing our best football, and I think
Speaker 7: a lot of those things caught up to us. And
Speaker 7: then trying to right our wrongs a little too late
Speaker 7: in the season. Then it's a little bit more stressful
Speaker 7: when teams are hitting their stride and we're trying to
Speaker 7: find out how to do things right. Yeah, that hurt
Speaker 7: for sure, and I think it will fewel us. Everybody's
Speaker 7: committed to doing things right this time around. You know,
Speaker 7: you don't want to say we don't want to get
Speaker 7: in that position again. And it starts from the first
Speaker 7: game all the way to the last, you know, but
Speaker 7: just keep it improving every week, no matter who this
Speaker 7: scoreboard is, you know, keeping our standard every week, because
Speaker 7: sometimes you win games that you didn't play your best.
Speaker 7: Now you don't learn from them if you're not trying
Speaker 7: to get better. I think that kind of happened to us,
Speaker 7: and we're not going to do that this year.
Speaker 2: Foyer, look can pretty telling answer about how things were
Speaker 2: last year. That might be the most relaxed I've ever
Speaker 2: seen him in front of the camera. Usually he's so intense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's kind of relaxed. It's that time of year though.
Speaker 2: I get I got this part of it.
Speaker 3: But maybe the environment's a little different too, right, maybe
Speaker 3: not going on the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: Maybe as he alluded to there it Uh, you know,
Speaker 2: Foy is a super smart guy. You know we were
Speaker 2: talking earlier about football, like Q you want to talk
Speaker 2: about football like you? That guy right there if there
Speaker 2: was a way to mine or to withdraw some of
Speaker 2: that football IQ and share it with the rest of
Speaker 2: the team, or yeah, like you'd like take blood out
Speaker 2: of him, you know, because it's got all that football
Speaker 2: IQ transfusion. I mean, he's just he's incredible. I mean literally,
Speaker 2: when you watch the film on him, he is always
Speaker 2: stepping in the direction that the play is going before
Speaker 2: the play is actually going in that direction. It's amazing
Speaker 2: to watch he he is Darryl Smith in Jaguars history.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about special inside linebackers that I really enjoyed watching.
Speaker 2: First of all, I love the motor of Mike Peterson, Okay,
Speaker 2: and the guy was just, you know, one hundred miles an
Speaker 2: hour all the time. Darryl Smith. The consistency, the strength,
Speaker 2: the the such a rounded game that he could play,
Speaker 2: the mic, the sam the will, it didn't matter whatever
Speaker 2: should have left Jacksonville. That's never it was. That was
Speaker 2: one of the dumbest decisions in Jaguars history, was letting
Speaker 2: him go anyway. But how watching Foyer on film is
Speaker 2: pure joy. You can look at his seventy fifth snap
Speaker 2: of a game and compare it to his first snap,
Speaker 2: and he's still playing at the same speed. I don't
Speaker 2: know how anybody can do that. But watching the anticipation
Speaker 2: that he plays the game with is fun to watch
Speaker 2: and it's impressive to watch. I think that the people
Speaker 2: that know football and can really and people that have
Speaker 2: played the game that like me, that are watching a
Speaker 2: guy like that, that says something that he's fun to
Speaker 2: watch just because of that standpoint, the intelligence that he
Speaker 2: plays this game at in that realm too. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: Paul's yeah. But Paul was one of those guys that
Speaker 2: he just never wasted a step. So he would wait
Speaker 2: and then he was just, you know, gone, But he
Speaker 2: never wasted steps. He didn't anticipate as much as Foyer does.
Speaker 2: To some extent, he was good, but not quite as
Speaker 2: fast with that first step. Now, Telvin Smith was always
Speaker 2: one step behind, but he was so dag him fast
Speaker 2: getting there, or he would run ahead of it and
Speaker 2: catch back up because he was so fast. He was
Speaker 2: amazing just the speed that he played the game at.
Speaker 2: But I mean pause, Darryl Smith and Foyer, I mean
Speaker 2: those guys, I mean, that's that's the elite class in
Speaker 2: Jaguars history. I mean, some really really good players and
Speaker 2: the other fun part about I know Paul and because
Speaker 2: Leslie enjoyed this, was that he had eleven interceptions. Well
Speaker 2: he was there as well. Yeah, one of them. That
Speaker 2: tells you he's back in coverage and reading things right.
Speaker 2: And maybe what's the way you remember the most Oh,
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning right, and he had the love or something
Speaker 2: on his hand, the weird was going on something, have
Speaker 2: something going on with his hand and he early in
Speaker 2: the game picks it off and takes it to the house.
Speaker 3: But that takes That tells you he's the quarterback. He's
Speaker 3: back in coverage. He's athletic enough to do all that too.
Speaker 3: And that's football. IQ pause.
Speaker 2: I used to love hearing Gus Bradley say pause. It
Speaker 2: was puzz It was never pause.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Gus Bradley. Side note here before we go
Speaker 3: to break, Yesterday was the Jags local pro day where
Speaker 3: they have local prospects from maybe schools around here or
Speaker 3: they grew up here with Carter Bradley, and Carter Bradley
Speaker 3: quarterback was here, Gus's son.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's a prospect. He's a possible draft pick, maybe
Speaker 2: late round pick, possibly undrafted guy, but yeah, he's a
Speaker 2: diehard fisherman Carter Bradley is so yeah when he was here.
Speaker 2: You know, he's a young man, so he's grown up.
Speaker 2: He's grown up, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: The Jags are celebrating their thirtieth season and the time
Speaker 3: to get your twenty twenty four season ticket membership well
Speaker 3: logs right now would be a.

Speaker 2: draft is almost here.
Speaker 3: We're a week away from the first round, a week
Speaker 3: from tonight, looking forward to it. We'll be in the stadium.
Speaker 2: Who do you think is gonna be the first overall pick? JP?
Speaker 2: It's kind of a big mystery, is it. That's the
Speaker 2: Southern cal quarterback we're talking about. Williams is going. Okay,
Speaker 2: Who's gonna go second? Just trivia for you? Probably another quarterback?
Speaker 2: What do you think Jayden Daniels? Probably, I would say
Speaker 2: probably who's picking second? I don't even know. In Washington,
Speaker 2: I'll probably go May I take May two, and then
Speaker 2: there'll be probably Daniels right after that. It's my guess. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: His accuracy this past year was was pretty incredible. Touchdown
Speaker 2: interception ratio was good. He's athletic. Yeah, he's gonna be
Speaker 2: fun to watch him. But man, May he's got that
Speaker 2: those numbers, you know, I mean, sometimes in the numbers
Speaker 2: you can't let them overrule the performance. But when you
Speaker 2: watch his tape, he's got that that height that you
Speaker 2: know that you can see he can he's got a
Speaker 2: he's got a big arm, he's a big guy. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's kind of that prototypical NFL quarterback. I just I'd
Speaker 2: be surprised if he doesn't go second. But you never know,
Speaker 2: you never know.
Speaker 3: We'll find out a week from tonight and we'll be
Speaker 3: at the official Dove All Draft Party at the Bank,
Speaker 3: presented by Donovan Air, Electric and Plumbing, and the party
Speaker 3: starts at seven o'clock. Tickets are free register today Jaguars
Speaker 3: dot Com Slash Draft Party. We'll have pre shows from
Speaker 3: the stadium. You guys will have a radio show on
Speaker 3: ten ten XL.
Speaker 2: That's right me, Frank big Beselli and I think you're
Speaker 2: gonna come on with us for a little bit. I'll
Speaker 2: hop in there when I can.
Speaker 3: And then we've got coverage leading into eight o'clock pre
Speaker 3: pregame coverage if you will, and then right after the pick,
Speaker 3: we'll have live coverage and all that on Jaguars dot
Speaker 3: Com and Jaguars Social media. All right, so it's time
Speaker 3: to keep it real, as we always do insert sponsor here.
Speaker 3: So our topic today, three positions the Jaguars should pick
Speaker 3: up this week or next week rather in the draft,
Speaker 3: there's a for whatever they will pick them up, whatever
Speaker 3: three positions they should draft this year, go top.
Speaker 2: Three and you want them ranked. I want them ranked.
Speaker 2: I mean right now, if you do it as far
Speaker 2: as needs go, corner I would put at the top,
Speaker 2: just because Darius Williams is no longer round. This is
Speaker 2: a passing league, and right now you need some help
Speaker 2: in the back end. You got a pretty good amount
Speaker 2: of depth and quality of play at safety, but corner
Speaker 2: is where you need help. And you've been trying to
Speaker 2: get some late round picks to hit over the last
Speaker 2: couple of years, but really nobody has risen to the front.
Speaker 2: So I think that's number one. Number two I would
Speaker 2: say is offensive line, interior or out side. I think
Speaker 2: either one because and then having a guy that can
Speaker 2: have some flexibility maybe play inside and then eventually move
Speaker 2: outside or vice versa, I think is great. You've got
Speaker 2: to protect from the franchise, and the franchise is your quarterback,
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. And last year you had a deficiency on
Speaker 2: how physical you were up front, and that needs to
Speaker 2: be addressed. In my opinion. I have a question side
Speaker 2: note question. We'll get to number three in a moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's wrong with having a guy that plays one
Speaker 3: position and you know that's solidified for ten years.
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with that at all, because you can move
Speaker 2: somebody else if somebody else has some positional flexibility.
Speaker 3: I guess that guy is hard to find. Obviously, which
Speaker 3: one Which guy's hard for? The one guy who's there
Speaker 3: for ten years that you know is a rock and
Speaker 3: solid and is going to be a franchise.
Speaker 2: Well, well, I mean, Joe Alt's going to be a
Speaker 2: rock ten years on tackle. I mean what he's not
Speaker 2: swinging around? And again, nothing's set in stone because if
Speaker 2: you remember, I remember going back to my draft classed
Speaker 2: I think it was, and the front page of the
Speaker 2: Sports Illustrated was future Hall of Famer Tony Manderich and
Speaker 2: people are like, this guy's a shoeing of the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame. He's going to be the next great offensive lineman.
Speaker 2: And it didn't happen, you know, I mean, the steroids
Speaker 2: thing kind of came out. He was an average player
Speaker 2: at best. I mean, but he was an average player.
Speaker 2: I mean, so it's not like he was a poor player,
Speaker 2: but I mean it's one of those things it's hard
Speaker 2: to find somebody that's going to do that. But Joe
Speaker 2: Alt from Notre Dame is a guy. If he's available seventeen, JP,
Speaker 2: i'd probably take him. He's not going to be available
Speaker 2: at seventeen like.
Speaker 3: Cam Robinson, right first pick of the second round, and
Speaker 3: I mean he's been the left tackle for I would tell.
Speaker 2: It, look, the position's corner offensive line. And then the
Speaker 2: third one, I'm gonna just throw it out there because
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give it a specific position because
Speaker 2: it can be on the inside or it can be
Speaker 2: on the outside. You got to have somebody that can
Speaker 2: rush the passer, and right now, I think you don't
Speaker 2: have a lot of depth on the edge. If you
Speaker 2: can get another edge rusher by all means, if look
Speaker 2: if LA two's there at seventeen, I mean there's some
Speaker 2: you were drooling about it last guy and I told
Speaker 2: you about it. He's just crazy good. Jared Verse Florida
Speaker 2: State would be my second best edge rusher. Love them.
Speaker 2: And then you have some some of the smaller guys
Speaker 2: that I don't put in those two categories. The kid
Speaker 2: at Alabama, Dallas Turner, I believe his name is. There's
Speaker 2: a kid at Penn State that's pretty good. A chop,
Speaker 2: no chops two. There's another one there, chopped. Well, I
Speaker 2: think where thirty three. It's number twenty at Penn State,
Speaker 2: and I could find it in a minute. But Isaac
Speaker 2: and then, oh gosh, I'm trying to think of who
Speaker 2: else there's edge rushers. But I mean those two guys
Speaker 2: are the elite players that you're talking about is law
Speaker 2: To and Jared versus. In my opinion, it's about a
Speaker 2: disa Isaac where it's twenty Yes, thank you Penn State.
Speaker 2: So I mean those three positions, corner, offensive line and
Speaker 2: a pass rusher. The interior did the defensive tackles. You've
Speaker 2: got Zrhan Newton and Byron Murphy. I believe it is
Speaker 2: from Texas. Newton is from Illinois. These guys are kind
Speaker 2: of interesting in that they're smaller guys. When I say smaller,
Speaker 2: shorter guys, not small, I mean they're both three hundred
Speaker 2: pound guys, but they're shorter. There's six to one, they's
Speaker 2: six two. And some people are comparing Murphy to a
Speaker 2: little bit of Aaron Donald. I don't know if I'd
Speaker 2: go so far to make that comparison, but he's a
Speaker 2: really good football player and Newton obviously Illinois guy. So
Speaker 2: that's the alma mater of Tony Kahan and Shad Khan,
Speaker 2: and so there's a little bit of home bias there,
Speaker 2: I'm sure, just because he's a good football player from Illinois.
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I mean the guy that
Speaker 2: you just brought in, Eric Armstead, six foot six, two
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety pounds, that he's got arms that are
Speaker 2: so this long. Right here, JP, that's pretty long. Let
Speaker 2: me turn it this way so the cameras can see
Speaker 2: that are listening on radio. Just imagine my part on radio.
Speaker 2: He's it's long, my arms are spread wide. But I mean,
Speaker 2: those top two rated guys at defensive tackle, they don't
Speaker 2: have that kind of length. And there's not really a
Speaker 2: defensive tackle that's that's rated as a first round talent
Speaker 2: that has that kind of length. So it'll be interesting
Speaker 2: to see how that that position works out for this team,
Speaker 2: because remember we went into the season, we said they've
Speaker 2: got to get better on the interior of offensive line
Speaker 2: and the defensive line. They got to get more physical.
Speaker 2: We did say that, we'll see can they do it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Clock's about to run out you got to do it
Speaker 3: at some point. That was keeping it real. Each week
Speaker 3: we do a draft position preview, and you touched on
Speaker 3: one of the guys in this position group we're going
Speaker 3: to talk about today offensive tackles. I ask you each
Speaker 3: week to pick your top three guys or three guys,
Speaker 3: not three guys.
Speaker 5: Three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start with Joe al of Notre Dame. Who
Speaker 2: you like. He's he's just so big and he's I
Speaker 2: guess he's young, but I don't know the specifics of
Speaker 2: his birthday or anything. But he's like six foot eight,
Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty two pounds, and he's kind of
Speaker 2: so long that when you watch him get down in
Speaker 2: his three point stance, his butt is like higher than
Speaker 2: his shoulder pads a lot of times. And it's just
Speaker 2: so odd because, like when you watch Baselli get down
Speaker 2: in the stance, he'd be able to have that bend
Speaker 2: and his shoulder pads were above his hips. But make
Speaker 2: no mistake, Joe Alt is a punishing blocker, got tremendous length.
Speaker 2: This guy is I think it's hands down, he's the
Speaker 2: best offensive lineman in the draft. And I mean again,
Speaker 2: it's a percentages game, so I'm not making any guarantees,
Speaker 2: but this is one of those guys that you feel
Speaker 2: like has a chance to be that starter at that
Speaker 2: one position JP for a decade. He's twenty one years
Speaker 2: old by just turned twenty one. Yeah, he's a young
Speaker 2: twenty one. Yeah.
Speaker 3: His dad is John Alt played for the Chiefs from
Speaker 3: eighty four to ninety six.
Speaker 2: I played against his dad. How was he Pretty good?
Speaker 2: Pretty good, big long guy, just like just like Jones
Speaker 2: and the family up here. Yeah, JC Latham Alabama tackle. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know, he's not rated amongst the top three
Speaker 2: or four guys on a lot of boards, but man,
Speaker 2: you watch the film on him. First of all, he's
Speaker 2: got the size. He's a six foot six, three hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty five forty pound guy. Somewhere he's big. He's big, okay,
Speaker 2: but he carries it really well. And when you watch
Speaker 2: him on film, he moves effortlessly. I mean, he's just
Speaker 2: a very graceful, big guy that moves very well. I
Speaker 2: think the ceiling is really high for him. I think
Speaker 2: what we've seen from him at Alabama is just I
Speaker 2: think just the tip of the iceberg to use that
Speaker 2: statement there, But I mean I think He's got a
Speaker 2: lot of room for growth. He's a right tackle now,
Speaker 2: it was a right tackle at Alabama. I think he
Speaker 2: could play left, but I think he's very comfortable on
Speaker 2: the right. Leave him at right and in today's NFL
Speaker 2: left tackle right tackle, they both need to be good
Speaker 2: pass protectors. He is a special player just because of
Speaker 2: the grace that he plays the game with, the agility
Speaker 2: that he plays the game with. And it's not very
Speaker 2: often that you have somebody that's six foot six three
Speaker 2: and thirty five forty pounds that moves gracefully. That's not
Speaker 2: easy to find.
Speaker 3: No, it's yeah, it's really tough, and it could tell
Speaker 3: you a lot about what the future could hold for
Speaker 3: Cam Robinson and Walker Little if they were to go
Speaker 3: with this position very early in this draft.
Speaker 2: You know could could And by the way, just a
Speaker 2: side note, he's not in my top three, but Mims,
Speaker 2: the guy from Georgia who has not played a lot
Speaker 2: of Marius Mims. He's a guy that I think could
Speaker 2: be a good second round pick for a team. He's
Speaker 2: he's also got some of that that gift of natural
Speaker 2: size and athleticism as well. But my third guy is
Speaker 2: Fuanga's a last Fuaga Oregon State. It's actually Fuanga. There's
Speaker 2: an n in there that's in the pronunciation, that's not
Speaker 2: in there in the spelling. And this is a big
Speaker 2: mauling right tackle. One of these guys that if you
Speaker 2: want to have a little bit of attitude with your
Speaker 2: offensive line, which this offensive line here needs a little
Speaker 2: bit of that, he's gonna provide some of that. The
Speaker 2: one thing that I will say about him is that
Speaker 2: it's gonna be He's a little over aggressive with his
Speaker 2: past stuff. He gets caught, he gets his arms chopped,
Speaker 2: he gets caught leaning, which has me a little bit concerned.
Speaker 2: But he's just got kind of naturally gifted feet the
Speaker 2: way he moves which is fun to watch uh and
Speaker 2: he definitely likes to He's not very nice on the field,
Speaker 2: which is what you like in an offensive lineman, and
Speaker 2: I think that's his biggest strength. And he's just a
Speaker 2: big dude, I mean, naturally big dude. The h The
Speaker 2: other guy that is on the top of many boards,
Speaker 2: which is Troy uh Fought New Fought New from Washington.
Speaker 2: I'm not fo U, t a n u and a
Speaker 2: lot of people are excited about him. And when I
Speaker 2: watch him, I see guard. He's he doesn't have that
Speaker 2: that natural size that Latham or f Wonga has, or
Speaker 2: that Memes has or all he's he's shorter in statute.
Speaker 2: He's got really good hands and really good athleticism. But
Speaker 2: I just, I just I think he could play tackle,
Speaker 2: but I think his natural spot as guard, and I
Speaker 2: think he's got a really natural movement to him. I
Speaker 2: think he would be better suited to playing guards. Did
Speaker 2: you look at Olu fashion U from Penn State tackle?
Speaker 2: I did, and he's he's big. I mean, he's naturally big.
Speaker 2: Don't watch the Ohio State game. Don't watch it, noj JP.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, Touey mooloow for two years in
Speaker 2: a row, rip that offensive line to shreds, including him,
Speaker 2: And there's when I want when I didn't. Well, there's
Speaker 2: a reason many team people have him rated in his
Speaker 2: in the top three because he's a left tackle. There's
Speaker 2: something about him that's a little off. Like when he sets,
Speaker 2: he doesn't gain a lot of ground with his sets,
Speaker 2: So he's kicking but he's not gaining a lot of ground.
Speaker 2: And then so a lot of times he ends up
Speaker 2: having to turn to catch up to chase a guy.
Speaker 2: And when an offensive tackle turns to chase a guy,
Speaker 2: he's essentially opened than the gate shortening the corner. And
Speaker 2: he's a he's a little stiff, a little stuff. And
Speaker 2: that's why I have he wasn't on your list, why
Speaker 2: he wasn't on my list? Many people had him up there.
Speaker 2: He's a big guy. Now he's six foot six, you know,
Speaker 2: and and but again it's there's something a little bit
Speaker 2: too mechanical. And then again the steps don't seem.
Speaker 3: To be as fluid. There you have it, I look
Speaker 3: at offensive tackles. We're back in a moment with Microsoft

Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean you add in, you know, with
Speaker 2: last year the quarterback dealing with a variety of injuries
Speaker 2: last year and then losing the most dependable receiving option
Speaker 2: that he had in Christian Kirk. And you know, that's
Speaker 2: kind of was what it was, part of the contribution
Speaker 2: to one of the worst finishes to a season in

Speaker 2: I'm I trying to put a number on this. I
Speaker 2: mean the chances, right, I guess chances first of all, percentage.
Speaker 2: I'm not in those discussions, but that Trent Balkey is
Speaker 2: having an all show. As Trent said today, ownership is
Speaker 2: involved in that because the size of the contract is
Speaker 2: going to be probably bigger than the initial value of
Speaker 2: the franchise when it was purchased by Wayne Weavers. Sure,
Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, I'm being dead serious. I mean
Speaker 2: that that's where that contract's probably going to be at
Speaker 2: which is a large number, and the stadium deal. I
Speaker 2: would hope that it gets done. It needs to get done.
Speaker 2: From all reports, it's trending the right way, So I'm
Speaker 2: feeling positive on all fronts. If you a percentage that
Speaker 2: eighty one, you put a number on it, I'll go
Speaker 2: seventy five. It's good. I'll go seventy five, you know,
Speaker 2: seventy seventy five somewhere in that range. Yeah, good, it's good.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I hope it's like one hundred
Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine because there's never a sure thing
Speaker 2: in life, you know, So I'll stick with the ninety
Speaker 2: nine point nine because it's April eighteenth. But seventy seventy five?
Speaker 2: What else?
Speaker 3: You got a lot of weeks ahead at gt RZ
Speaker 3: and seven to one? What is the real difference between
Speaker 3: Doug calling plays versus press calling plays? Ultimately, doesn't Doug
Speaker 3: have final say? From Trevor's comments, it seems he wants
Speaker 3: press with the continuity unless he's just towing the company line.
Speaker 2: But I don't get the impression that that Trevor tows
Speaker 2: the company because he feels like he's off with a
Speaker 2: toe company line. So I think that's a little bit
Speaker 2: of a I don't want to say it's an insult,
Speaker 2: but it's it's not very fair. Trevor, I think is
Speaker 2: very open and honest and speaks his mind. And look,
Speaker 2: I get it, and that Doug always has the ultimate authority.
Speaker 2: He's the head coach, and he's an offensive minded head coach. Now,
Speaker 2: what's the difference between Doug or Press calling the plays.
Speaker 2: I think every play caller has a groove, and every
Speaker 2: play caller can be in a groove and then also
Speaker 2: lose the groove. Just like a batter in baseball, you
Speaker 2: feel like you just you know, when you step to
Speaker 2: the plate, you're seeing the ball and you're just feeling
Speaker 2: the ball and you're making great contact, and then sometimes
Speaker 2: you hit a slump and sometimes you just don't feel
Speaker 2: like that. Hey, I just can't I can't make anything right.
Speaker 2: I can't swing the bat well at all. And I
Speaker 2: think sometimes that happens with a play caller too. You
Speaker 2: know who have the groove in the second half of
Speaker 2: games in twenty twenty two, Press Taylor exactly. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he can't call plays. I think
Speaker 2: they're both capable of calling and uh and yes, Doug
Speaker 2: has the ultimate oversight because he's the head coach. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he can veto and he's on the headside. He can
Speaker 2: make suggestions, he can do he can tell Press what
Speaker 2: to do. Hey, Press, By the way, you're gonna call
Speaker 2: z X right thirty four on two and give him
Speaker 2: the snap count as well. I don't mean whatever that
Speaker 2: play call would be. What would that be? You think,
Speaker 2: what's that? That Z whatever you just said? Just making
Speaker 2: it something up, you know, I mean defense. It was
Speaker 2: just so simple. Pirate, Let's run the pirate, Yes, you know,
Speaker 2: over pirate cover three? Okay, break off the offensive terminology.
Speaker 2: Put it this way. If it was if it was
Speaker 2: like an efficiency of use of words, defensive play call
Speaker 2: might be like five words. An offensive play call might have,
Speaker 2: you know, and defense would have a combination of words
Speaker 2: the numbers. So I will say five total. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna talk of offense football IQ of defensive players. Offense
Speaker 2: might have like twelve to fifteen word number combination. It's
Speaker 2: a lot. It's very different.
