3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: but he's certainly not free. Peace chad Rick, and welcome in.

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: It is Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday afternoon. J P.

Speaker 1: Shadrick with you. We've got a busy, busy show ahead

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: of us. As always, on Thursday, Jaguars analyst Jeff Lockman

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: will join us free agency frenzy. The Jaguars have signed

8
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: seven new players, many of them were in the building today,

9
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: and one of them will join us on set at

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: for fifteen here live. It's Brandon shuff, the new guard

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, five time Pro bowler, first team All

12
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Pro back in he'll join us in about fifteen minutes

13
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: here on Jaguars Happy Hour. We'll hear some highlights from

14
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: the press conference today here at t i A. Bank Field.

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: We'll go around the National Football League. Jeff Flackman joins

16
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: us now in LUGS. The Jaguars just paid out one

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: fifty five million guaranteed dollars among the big seven signings.

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: How about that? A lot of money, a lot of case. Uh,

19
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: and that's uh. I hate to say this, but I

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: mean that's what you do when you haven't essentially been

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: really good at what the lifeblood of the franchise is,

22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: which is drafting and uh. And it was exactly what

23
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: this organization needed to do because at some point you

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: need to change the culture. And part of changing the culture,

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: it's not so much about mindset. Is it about getting

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: better players. And in free agency, getting better players cost

27
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: you money. That's just the reality of it. And I

28
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: think they did a very good job of making sure

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: that they addressed positions that they needed to address. Did

30
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: they overpay, Yes, that's what you do in free agency.

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. But the one thing

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: I will say about the contractual status of all of

33
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: these guys, for the most part, after two years, the

34
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: risk is no longer. Uh. Most of these deals are

35
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: two year deals. Would you like to see the players

36
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: complete the deals? Yes, because that means that the player

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: is playing to the level of the contract, and that's

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: what you want to see. But if something doesn't work out,

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: then it's not like you are gonna be stuck with

40
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: like an Ezekiel Elliott with the Cowboys right now, who

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: has a guaranteed contract that Ezekiel Elliott has not played

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: to that level last year and is not expected to

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: pay play to that level this year. So from that standpoint,

44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: I like it. And around about that time is when hopefully,

45
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: if things go well, Trevor Lawrence's contract will start coming

46
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: back around. And that kind of looking at the luxury

47
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: years down the line. That gives you the luxury because

48
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback called a rookie contract. You hope

49
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: that the quarterback gets to the point where you have

50
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: to make tough decisions and you're gonna have to pay

51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: him fifty sixty million a year, you know which is

52
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: I think that's essentially that's the going rate. I mean,

53
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: look at Aaron Rodgers new deal. I think I think

54
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: the new money average is sixto million dollars a year.

55
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: And so let's look down the road four years from now,

56
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: that's what the going rate is. It's going to be

57
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: at least that because the captain theory could keep growing.

58
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: In theory, when has it ever gone down with the

59
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: exception of it just keeps going up and up and up.

60
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: So you have that luxury um and and I like

61
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: the fact that they have addressed both sides the ball

62
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: most of the guys are, you know, because Schurff is

63
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: a little older. But for the most part, these guys

64
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: are young. And when I say young, that they're they're

65
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: approaching or are in their prime. And that's what you

66
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: want in the re agent market. Can you sprinkle in

67
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: guys that might be a little bit older, a little

68
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: longer in the tooth, Sure, absolutely, but those guys you

69
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: typically want to try to acquire on shorter deals. But

70
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: but I like the list. I love the addition of

71
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: surf a J. Cann. I wish him the best of

72
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: luck with the Houston Texans is an upgrade. Okay, fact

73
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: it will also help your right tackle position. Whoever that

74
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: ends up being. They stead yesterday. They still have confidence

75
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: in Joan Taylor there well, And I think the competition

76
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: needs to exist for Juan Taylor. I mean, let's not

77
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: sugarcoat it. Joan Taylor. I think it was a high

78
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: pick for a reason, and I still think with with

79
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: better coaching, he can become better. It's not like he's

80
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: done improving. But competition makes everybody better, even me and

81
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: you JP. We compete all the time, absolutely, and I

82
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: win most of those, yeah, pretty much. I don't know

83
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: how with a microphone, you win all the time. I'm

84
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: not gonna argue that. So let's go through Christian Kirk

85
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: and let me just say something about him, because he's

86
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: kind of he's kind of that cherry on the top

87
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: of this of this free agent class, thirty seven million

88
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: guaranteed to him, and that's the most money out of

89
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: all of these guys. There's been a lot of little

90
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: criticism online about that, which that happens because criticism happens

91
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: every year when you start talking about free agent classes,

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: and you talk about guys that may not be at

93
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: the top of their position, but when they hit free agency,

94
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: they set the new market. And for wide receivers around

95
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: the league that may be upset that they may be

96
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: better than Christian Kirk, that are upset, wait a minute, hey, guys,

97
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: slow down, because the Christian Kirks of the National Football

98
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: League are good for your business because if you are

99
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: a better wide receiver than him, when you do get

100
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: to the opportunity to be on the market, your price.

101
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: We'll start at where Christian Kirk ended up. Gonna say

102
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: better send him a fruit basket or something, a thank

103
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 1: you carter. But I remember preparing for the Arizona Cardinals

104
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: game and it was a J Green and DeAndre Hopkins

105
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: and fits and who Larry Fitzgerald Fair Larry Fitzgerald who

106
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: you know obviously wasn't it was not the same player

107
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: that he was younger, but Christian Kirk when you watched

108
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: the film Great Weapon, and I believe in in my opinion,

109
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: he was the most explosive player that they had in

110
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: the wide receiving corps with the Arizona Cardinals. And I

111
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be exciting to watch to see where

112
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: they play him. And I know that Doug Peterson talked

113
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: about they're gonna play him anywhere and everywhere, depending on matchups,

114
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: not just a slot. And that's a good thing. And

115
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: the more weapons you have, the better off you are.

116
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Christian Kirk today. He spoke with the

117
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: media here at t I A bank field and a

118
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: lot of thanks to go around. I just wanted to say, uh,

119
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, thank you to Mr Cohn, Mr Balky, Coach

120
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Peterson and the Jexaville Jaguars organization and for UM giving

121
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: me the opportunity to be here. I'm super excited to

122
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: get to work and it just feels great to be,

123
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: you know, a part of an organization that has shown

124
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: so much interest in you know, my potential, my ability

125
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: to be able to come here and uh, you know

126
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: be a part of this organization. So I just want

127
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: to say that I'm ready to get to work. And

128
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: not the only receiver signed by the Jaguars, of course.

129
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Zay Jones comes in from the Las Vegas Raiders. He's

130
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: out of East Carolina. Originally was with the Bills of

131
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: a second round pick, and then moved over to the

132
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders and then went on the move to Las

133
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Vegas with the organization as well. He played in that

134
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: seventeen playoff game, the wild Card game here in Jacksonville

135
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: with the Bills. That was the last time he stepped

136
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: fut in the stadium until today in fact, and then

137
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: of course played the Jaguars in the Raiders final game

138
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: in Oakland. The Jaguars won that game as well. But

139
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: we heard from za Jones today as well and what

140
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: he could bring in, what the culture could be here

141
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I believe in it, um. I think it's

142
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: a I've talked to some other players that have been

143
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: with with Doug and these guys and They've told me

144
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: a little bit about the offense and like how it

145
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: works and and schematically and things like that, but I

146
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: just had to take their word for it, do my

147
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: own research and things like that. But um, it's a

148
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: great team young quarterback who who to me looks very

149
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: very promising and very good and I believe in and

150
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, I want to be a part of something

151
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: that's that's building towards the future. And ultimately, yeah, just

152
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: my heart, I was like, Yeah, that's the place I

153
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: want to go. Yeah, so Z Jones coming in. What

154
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: do you like about his game? I think he adds

155
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: competition to that positional group and that's what you needed.

156
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: And I know that, Uh, there's a lot of confidence

157
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: in the guys that were already in that room as

158
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: far as the younger players that they have and can

159
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: they continue to develop And that's great, and but you

160
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: can't be overconfident in a room to the point where

161
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: you stop adding guys to a room. And I think

162
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: the uh, the running back room, to give you another example,

163
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: they didn't address it in free agency, but I really

164
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: believe that that's going to be addressed in the draft.

165
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Because you feel good about the two guys that you have,

166
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: but they're coming off of injuries and and again, you

167
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: can't ever stop adding to the room. Competition makes everybody better.

168
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's a Jones is gonna come in.

169
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna compete. He's got a little bit more size

170
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: than Christian Kirk, which a lot of people might find

171
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: that surprising. And uh, and he's a very fast guy.

172
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: So the faster players, the more speed that you can

173
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: get on the field for a young quarterback, the better

174
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: off that you're gonna be. And I think it's gonna

175
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: be fun to watch the competition at wide receiver because

176
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: think about it now, Uh, there's a lot of guys

177
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: that are gonna be fighting for one ball. There's only

178
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: one ball that they play with on the field, right,

179
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: and you're throwing the tight ends in the mix as well. Yeah,

180
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, you know, comes from the Giants, was widely

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: thought to be one of these kind of the new

182
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: tight ends. And and look, it's it's no uh secret

183
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: that the Giants have had quarterback issues ever since the

184
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: departure of Eli Manning. They tried to address it with

185
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. It hasn't quite worked out yet. And but

186
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: yet Evan Ingram still has caught a lot of balls,

187
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: and with an offense and a football team that hasn't

188
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: been very good, and I uh, the one thing about

189
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: him I will say is that he's not a real

190
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: big guy. He's a move tight end. Okay, he's a

191
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: he's a true move tight end. But you you pare

192
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: him with Dan Arnold and now you have two tight

193
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: ends that are gonna have and create interesting matchups for

194
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: defenses to contend with. I look forward to watching that.

195
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment. Brandon Schuff one of

196
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: the other offensive editions, I would say, one of the

197
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: biggest offensive editions. This guy's massive physically. Yes, he's gonna

198
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: join us here in studio. Yeah, he's a he's a

199
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: good football player. He's been real steady, hurt a little

200
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: bit the last couple of years. But when he is,

201
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he is, uh by far, I think

202
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: one of the best right guards in football. We'll get

203
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: in his head when we come back here in studio

204
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: a little later. We'll hear more highlights from the defensive

205
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: free agents added by the Jaguars. We are often running

206
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. It's

207
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: heading in the right direction, and it's something that we

208
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: had to you know, take a strong, hard look at,

209
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, obviously to protect the quarterback, protect Trevor and

210
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: and and not so much in the passing game, but

211
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: also the ability to run the football. You know, we

212
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: feel like the running back room when healthy is is

213
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: a dynamic group. We feel like the tight ends are

214
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: a dynamic group and they're all part of the run game,

215
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: you know as well. So you know, we took some

216
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: really good uh steps forward in that direction, um with

217
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: with keeping keeping can Cam and and obviously getting getting

218
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, Brandon Schurff, and you got Juwan, you got Walker,

219
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: little of me, We got guys shot Lee back. So

220
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: you know there's guys there now that we're putting pieces

221
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: together and we still have you know, the ability in

222
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: the draft to to add some more depth and add

223
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: some more value at that position. That is Jaguar's head

224
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,080

244
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: So a free agent process. Is this the first time

245
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: that you actually ever got into free agency as a

246
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: as a pro. What what was the experience like for you? Uh,

247
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, I worked out on let's see Monday and Uh,

248
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: my agent called me a couple of times and uh,

249
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: he said, I'll do all the negotiating and just just

250
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: sit by your phone and he says, we agreed to terms. Congratulations,

251
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: So we're excited. Didn't that crazy? How it is? I mean,

252
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: it's just all of a sudden. I mean back in

253
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: the day, there used to be, uh, at least a

254
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: little bit of a period of time where they'd fly

255
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: in and they'd wine and dine you. And nowadays it's

256
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: like like the draft. You know, that's what you have

257
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: your you know, your not your official visits, but your visits,

258
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: and you go wine and dine with the coaches and

259
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: have your top five or whatever that you think you're

260
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna go to, and you go to somebody absolutely completely different.

261
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: So we we Brandon and I were talking kind of

262
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: kind of Chuck Land because Brandon has done a charity

263
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: event up in Iowa which is called Aiming for a Cure,

264
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: which I actually have done a couple of different times.

265
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: And we had a mutual friend who recently passed away,

266
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: Mr Tim Anderson of Mossy Oak and UH and Brandon

267
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: played with the Redskins. I grew up in Stirling in Virginia,

268
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: which growing up as a kid, that's where the Redskins

269
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: training facility was located at. When now it's in Ashburn, Virginia,

270
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: which is where I lived at for a period of

271
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: time when I was playing with the Jet So we

272
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a connection there. But how

273
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: is your time in Washington? That was great? You know,

274
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: I met a lot of great people. I got coached

275
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: by a lot of great coaches, and those are you know,

276
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: memories that are gonna last forever for me. So, you know,

277
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: taking a small kid out of Iowa to go to

278
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: big DC, you know, I wouldn't have it any other way.

279
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: So I appreciate everybody that, you know, made an impact

280
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: on my life. All the coaches. UH Coach Gruden is

281
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: one that drafted me, Coach Callahan, UH coach Phil, Uh,

282
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Coach Rivera coach, matsco coach Travel. You know, I had

283
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: some amazing coaches. So I'm grateful for for all of them.

284
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson yesterday talked about when when they're signing you,

285
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: they wanted you in here as part of this culture build.

286
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: What does that mean to you? A culture build? I

287
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: mean I spoke on a little bit earlier I think

288
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: it's just just doing it everything the right way. Um,

289
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think, uh, you know, my dad instilled

290
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: that in me. And then coming into Iowa, you know,

291
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: coach Farren's uh, coach Doyle was a strength coach and

292
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: then coach Ray was the assistant strength coach there Reese Morrigan.

293
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: Just to laid the foundation on how to be a

294
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: man and how to practice and how to how to

295
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: conduct yourself inside and outside of football. Um. So I

296
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: think it's just a compliment that you're doing everything the

297
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: right way and people see that. So, you know, that's

298
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: one of the goals that I've ever had in my

299
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: life is to just um lead the way that um

300
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: people can look up to you and you know, just

301
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of you're doing the right thing, so they appreciate that.

302
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: And and part of being a leader is wearing the

303
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: seat captain of a football team. And you were a

304
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: captain with the Redskins. How many years were you were

305
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: captain for the Redskins? And were you a captain in Iowa? Uh?

306
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Three years? And then I don't think they had captains.

307
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: I think they just picked one. Yes Iowa. Yeah, coach

308
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,479
Speaker 1: appointed game day captains. I hate when they do that.

309
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: Coffin used to do that here in early days, he'd

310
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: picked captains. He would never actually have anybody a name

311
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: caps there. But whatever, But congratulations on the contract, Congratulations

312
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: on being a Jaguar, and uh, I know that the

313
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: first time that I got to free agency wasn't about

314
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: your seven. And it's different. You know, you know you're

315
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: you're seven for you and so it's uh, it's it's

316
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: fun and it's exciting. And I think the one thing

317
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: that it did for me and and I don't know

318
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: if you need the same thing or not, but it

319
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: kind of re energized me as a player because where

320
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: I came from, we didn't win a lot. And uh,

321
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: and I know you have the struggles in Washington, but

322
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: also now the new environment, the new teammates might kind

323
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: of make things new and fun again, right, you know.

324
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: I had, like I said, I had a blasting uh

325
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: in Washington, and I you know, some of my most

326
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: favorite memories are just hanging out at the house, you know,

327
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: I said, I always speak about ot has being one

328
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: of my favorite, uh favorite parts of the season, because

329
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: that's where you get to really figure out who your

330
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: teammates are, you know, just not as football players, but

331
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, you can see their families or wives or

332
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: girlfriends or kids, so you get uh, you know, I

333
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: always say Corey looking striker was my center. We'd have

334
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: a race from O. T. A. S To his house

335
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: because the girls will be out of the pool, kids

336
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: to be running around, and then we just play volleyball

337
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: offense versus defense for ten hours, you know, And that

338
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: was what everybody looked forward to as a race of

339
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Cory's house. So just just doing that, and then you know,

340
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: we'd have game nights at our house with whoever wanted

341
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: to come. Last year, we had oh, I don't know,

342
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: forty people over for Thanksgiving at our house last year.

343
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: So we had Logan Thomas and all the online helped

Speaker 1: families and I'm available if you guys need an extra

346
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, I can take a plate. Oh, I thought

00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna say you're gonna pay for about that. I

348
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,840

00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: his job and not have to worry about people up front.

357
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,280

405
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: that that's always an exciting process. And Um, and you

406
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: gotta get moved down here. And now you've gotta established

407
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: residency so you can take advantage of this tax free

408
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: state that we live in here on the state of Florida.

409
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: So from a from a financial standpoint, don't waste any

410
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: time not get your license switched over and get your

411
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: residence established. And I gotta gotta save that money, Brandon,

412
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: that's right kind of guide. See you're good. Yeah, you've

413
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: done this time before. If you established residents you can't

414
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: hunt in Iowa because I'm not a resident Iowa. That's

415
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: the one thing that's crazy and mean him can have

416
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: a whole conversation about this that even if you're a

417
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: landowner in Iowa, if you don't live in that state,

418
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't guarantee be hunt in America. How about that?

419
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: Ye did not know that? Yeah? Which is crazy? Which

420
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: Iowa keeps out the riff raffle like Logoman coming up

421
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: there and taking all your deer. Iowa and Illinois are

422
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: probably the two biggest deer hunting states for guys that

423
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: are just I mean, just crazy outdoors. But like I

424
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: get what you're saying. That's all right, so plenty of

425
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,879

437
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: the idea of getting better at all three levels. On

438
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: the defensive side, we were able to do that. Get

439
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: more explosive, get more playmakers on the offensive side, get

440
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: bigger and more physical upfront. We were and we felt

441
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: we were able to address those needs. As General Manager

Speaker 1: player has to be good. But then they have to

460
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: be I mean, true professionals and and that they do

461
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: things the right way. And and look, they just don't

462
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: give out sees willy nilly in the National Football League

463
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: and so at uh, that's the kind of character guy

464
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: that you want to have when you are when you

465
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: are trying to change the direction of a franchise. He's

466
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: a really good football player. He is. He's athletic. Then

467
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: he's more athletic than a lot of guards. And I

468
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: think that's the one thing that stands out about the

469
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: way he plays. And that's one of the reasons why

470
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: he's been receiving the accolades as far as the Pro Bowls,

471
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: he all thos and things of that nature, because he

472
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: is very athletic. But he's athletic and he's strong. So

473
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player. He definitely helps his

474
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: football team. And for a for a team that has

475
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: a young quarterback that's gonna want to establish the running

476
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: game a little bit to help a young quarterback and

477
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: then also protect a young quarterback. Brendon Sheriff is the

478
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: guy that you want and uh and I'm excited to

479
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: have him because that's the type of guy that you

480
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: need to add to this offense. You gotta protect your

481
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: quarterback and you gotta make things easier on him by

482
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: running the football. Let's stay on the offensive line. There

483
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: was some news yesterday as Trent Ballky and Doug Peterson

484
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: met with the writers and the media here at t

485
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: i A bank Field and he was they were asked

486
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: about Cam Robinson. He's had the franchise tag placed on him.

487
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: He's not signed the tender, but news came out yesterday

488
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: that they are working on a long term deal with

489
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson at left tackle. They still have confidence in

490
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: Juwan Taylor. We mentioned that earlier. At right tackle they

491
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: got Walker Little who can move around and do some things.

492
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: So the future and what's gonna happen with Brandon Lender

493
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: came up yesterday as well, because he has no dead

494
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: money on his contract and in the last year of

495
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: his deal coming up nine and a half million dollars.

496
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: Could they be working through something. It sounds like they

497
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: might be. So what does this thing look like at

498
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Well, I was there yesterday,

499
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: and so I got to hear all the Yeah, I

500
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: was there, and so I got to hear all the comments,

501
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: and and uh, I thought the story that in the

502
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: comments that general manager Trent Ballk he made about Cam Robinson,

503
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: I think we're very revealing. And he talked about, hey, look,

504
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, Cam Robinson is a guy who loves football.

505
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: You know, he's out there in practice and he might

506
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: turn an ankle, he goes and tapes it up and

507
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: then he gets right back in. He doesn't miss any

508
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: anything in practice. Well okay, Well then he he tears

509
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: a ligament tenant his thumb and he tapes it up

510
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: and he and he finishes done miss any time. I mean,

511
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's the one thing I've always said

512
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: about Cam. I love the way he plays the game

513
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: and he and he finishes and everything. Sometimes he he'd

514
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: like to have him with his footwork bet more clean

515
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: at the left side. I still believe that he would

516
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: be a phenomenal right tackle just because he has that attitude.

517
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: But where is he at as far as left tackles, Um,

518
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: he's probably middle of the road. Okay, middle of the

519
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: road in the National Football League? Would you like to

520
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: be able to lock up the middle of road type player. Look,

521
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 1: you can't have everybody that's you know, top five at

522
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: their position in the National Football League. But if somebody's

523
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: not in the top five, you want to make sure

524
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: that whoever that person is has other traits that are

525
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: highly desirable. Toughness, loves ball, physical finishes, and that's what

526
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson has. And and I'm gonna say this again

527
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: because I believe that there are some players on this

528
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: offensive line because I said it last year and I

529
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: said it the year before, but I did not see

530
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot of improvement. I still believe that this offensive

531
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: line is not old enough to to lose the improvement

532
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: from year to year. In other words, I think, with

533
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: the proper coaching, Cam Robin sin can be better than

534
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: just a middle of the road left tackle, which is fine.

535
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: I believe that right tackle Joan Taylor can be better,

536
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: but I think he needs more competition. Look, competition makes

537
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: everybody better, bringing more competition for everybody, and that helps

538
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: solve a lot of the problems and it makes players

539
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: more coachable. But but yeah, the comments about Cam Robinson,

540
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: the backing of Juwan Taylor and and that backing was

541
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: very firm and it wasn't wavering and uh, but I

542
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: meant my opinion is is that you've got to create

543
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: competition on that offensive line, and I think at right

544
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: tackle it would be good. I think Linda will will

545
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: figure something out longer with him. Well, they said they're

546
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: still working through that. Okay. The the salary that he

547
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 1: was projected to receive this year was nine ish million. Okay.

548
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: The reality is is that Brandon has been hurt for

549
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: the last number of years. He's had one complete season

550
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: in the last four or five years. What does that

551
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: tell you? Availability supersedes ability every time, and when a

552
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: player can't be available on a every week basis that

553
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: that lowers your value. That's a fact that cannot be disputed.

554
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: So is there a comfortable range that the team would

555
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: like to bring Brandon Lender back at? Sure? Sure? And

556
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, Brandon wears the C two. Okay.

557
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Lender is the kind of guy that you want

558
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: to keep on a on a football team because two reasons. One,

559
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: he's a good guy and he does things the right

560
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: way and he's a good football player when he's on

561
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: the field. Okay, so there's I hope that there is

562
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: a way that they can find a common ground because

563
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: if they can't find a common ground here, there's a

564
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: couple options for Brandon. One is is that he goes

565
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: to another team. Brandon loves Jacksonville. Okay, he loves the outdoors,

566
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: he loves this football team. He's been committed to this

567
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: football team. He was completely bawled in every year and

568
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: has given everything is all and so he either continues

569
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: to play for this team, goes and plays for another team,

570
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: or he retires. I don't know if that's even an

571
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: option for him, but I hope that they can find

572
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: a way to make it work because when he's on

573
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: the field, he's a good football player. This is Jaguars

574
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: Happy are We continue with the recap of the free

575
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: agent signings for the Jacksonville Jaguars. A number of them

576
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: were in the building today signing the contract, making the rounds,

577
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: taking the tour, meeting with the media. Let's move to

578
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football now and to hear

579
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: from some of these guys today. And we got to

580
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: hear from Foyer A Louis Khan who is a linebacker

581
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: from the Atlanta Falcons and he led the league in

582
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: tackles last year hundred ninety three tackles a season ago.

583
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: What does he bring to this Jaguar his defense. I

584
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of upside to this organization. Uh,

585
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, these guys, you know,

586
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: definitely put a lot of trust in me. Um. That's

587
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: why they came in and got me in free agency.

588
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: And I just want to bring you know, I definitely

589
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: work hard to definitely bring a lot of you know,

590
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: intelligence and um to the defense and really just trying

591
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: to bring people along with me is what I talked

592
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: about a lot today with some of the coaches. So

593
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: get everybody on the kind of hard and hard working mentality,

594
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of have you know, some great chip on his

595
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: shoulder and being able to grind and work to get

596
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: better every day. Uh, get more wins here. Folkin was

597
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: a sixth round pick, but Yale guy out of Yale. Yes,

598
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: that's football powerhouse of Yale, and then worked his way up.

599
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: He was, like he said today, he was kind of

600
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: a safety, kind of a slot coverage type guy, and

601
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: then moved over to linebacker once he got in the NFL.

602
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: And now he's built his way up into into this

603
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: contract twenty eight million guaranteed dollars coming four years away.

604
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: But led the league tackles a year ago. Miles Jack

605
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: has gone. Now that saved the Jacks. Remember the conversation

606
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: we had a few weeks ago. We're comparing Damien Wilson's

607
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: stats to Miles jack stats. Remember when we talked about that,

608
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: and I said, look, I said, the reality is is

609
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: that Miles Jack is making a ton of money, whereas

610
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: Damien Wilson came in here on a one year, a

611
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: couple million dollar contract, and so something's got to give, right, Well,

612
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Miles Jack goes and uh, And then you bring in

613
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: Lucan and and he's a good football player, and a

614
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: lot of those categories that we talked about that Miles

615
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: didn't fill, the tackles for losses, the sacks, the passes defense.

616
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Over the last two years, this young man has been

617
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: able to to really put some serious numbers up in

618
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: those categories, and the number of tackles that he makes.

619
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's active as anybody at the position in

620
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: the league. And and I think, now you you've got

621
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: to start, Okay, do do you fill the other position?

622
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: Is there a chance that they could bring a Damien

623
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: Wilson back. Is there a chance that they fill that

624
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: position from the current room and that's under contract, or

625
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: do they look in the draft to maybe add to

626
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: that position in the draft. And but but they definitely

627
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: need more than just one linebacker obviously because this is

628
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: a two linebacker game, especially when when you get the nickel,

629
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: you gotta have two guys that can really play in space.

630
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: But interesting that, don't forget Dylan Moses. Either he's healthy

631
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: and ready to go, they say, yeah, and that's that's uh,

632
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, basically one year completely away from football, he's

633
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: got a serious knee injury. Is that's something that is

634
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: going to be problematic? Is uh on a on an

635
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: every year type of thing? I don't know. I mean,

636
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: that's a it's a great question, JP because Dylan Moses

637
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: was supposedly a first round talent that obviously didn't get

638
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round because of injury concerns. Can

639
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: can he be that type of a guy that would

640
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: surprise you. That'd be awesome. Look, I'm all, I'm all

641
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: four you got undrafted guys and you get six round

642
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: picks and start turning into some really good football player.

643
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: Is for an organization that's awesome. But because you know,

644
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: the reality has to look at some of these free

645
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: agents you're sign him. Okay, Luke Khan is a six

646
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: round pick. Thought Okasi was a six round pick, and

647
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: then Darius Williams was an undrafted guy. You know, So

648
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: it would be great if you could find some of

649
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: those guys right on your own because then, man, you

650
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: talk about taking your football team to the next level because,

651
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: as I've said before, the draft and finding young talent,

652
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 1: that's the lifeblood of every franchise. Let's hear from fully

653
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: Fighterkasi from the New York Jets, another former six round pick.

654
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: He's out of Yukon, though noted run stopper, one of

655
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: eight players with fifteen or more run stuffs and fifteen

656
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: or more quarterback pressures last season alone. Some big names

657
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: on that list as well, and earlier today, Fully on

658
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: why he chose Jacksonville really just came down to someone

659
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: believing in me. Um someone saw something in me, they

660
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: saw something about my ability, um, and it took a

661
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: chance on me. And I'm always for people that just

662
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: just gives me a chance, because all you need is

663
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: one person to believe you. And that's what made me

664
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: come here. It's a blessing. You know. You put in

665
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: a lot of time and effort and little blood, sweat

666
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: and harris to get to this point. And you know,

667
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: I can only thank God for it. But um, now

668
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 1: that I'm here, at this point, it's all about what

669
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: more could I do? You know? I mean, how much

670
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: more could we inspire each other? How much more can

671
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: we motivate one another fully? Fadokasi was a sixth round

672
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: draft pick. His rookie season, he was the inactive guy

673
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: most of the season. He played in like one game

674
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: for the Jets, and as the years went on, found

675
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: his way into a role there and found a way

676
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: into that as you mentioned, longs that see on his

677
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: chest that we just saw if you're watching on Jaguars

678
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: dot com. And now a big free agent contract. Yeah

679
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: that's uh yeah, there there's a trend here, right, yes, Okay, absolutely,

680
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: when when coach and general manager emphasize and stress all

681
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: about culture change. Then you you do that with people

682
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: that can do that. And again, the guy that wore

683
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: the sea on his chest in New York Fought Akasi,

684
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: captain of the New York Jets football team. Good football player,

685
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: plays hard, plays every down hard. Is he a great

686
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: pass rusher? No? Is he a pocket pusher? Absolutely this

687
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: football team at some point you gotta find dominant pass rushers.

688
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: Many people are talking about Aton Hutchinson the first overall pick.

689
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: Could he be the guy? You know that's we'll have

690
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: to wait and find out. I mean, everything kind of

691
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: leaning towards that way when you're kind of seeing what

692
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: they've done in free agency. But at the same token,

693
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: the outside edge position is not what needs to just

694
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: be addressed. Also, the three technique interior pass rusher, if

695
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,240
Speaker 1: you can try to find a way to add another

696
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: guy on the inside and uh to to help with

697
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: the inside push, I think because Potokasi is gonna give

698
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: you some good push, But do you have somebody that

699
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: can give you numbers from the inside. And again, you've

700
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: got twelve draft picks coming up to be able to

701
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: address some of those positional needs as well, so you

702
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: don't have to do it all in free agency. But

703
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: but I like the acquisition of Podokos and I remembered

704
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: him very well because he was a team captain with

705
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: the Jets and he was one of the most challenging

706
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: names to pronounce when you start doing your game boards.

707
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: He's I mean, I remembered his name because I was like, Okay,

708
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: how are we gonna pronounce this one? I know Basselli's

709
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna butcher it. Okay, but let me make sure that

710
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: I get it right. But I remember the Podokosi. I

711
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: was like Ahadi. And he has a brother who was

712
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: at Rutgers and did actually tapped out of the Gator

713
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: Bowl to get ready for the NFL Draft. Outside linebacker

714
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: type who was living with him in Jersey and the

715
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: whole thing. So we'll see if he makes it in

716
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: the NFL. Uh in the NFL Draft coming up. One

717
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: other name signed or not signed yet agreed to terms.

718
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: He's apparently arriving tomorrow to sign, and it is Jacksonville

719
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: area native cornerback Darius Williams out of Creekside High School

720
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: in St. John's And this guy's story is incredible. He's

721
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old. He went to Creekside of course

722
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: was at you A B. They canceled the program, had

723
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: to come back home. Was working like an ace hardware

724
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: for a little while, went to f S c J,

725
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: took some classes U A B S program, came back.

726
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: He went back to Birmingham and played for the Blazers

727
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: and was an undrafted player. Worked his way up and

728
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: moved over to the Ram. He was picked up by

729
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens right out after the draft. They cut him

730
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: in October. He went to the Rams for the last

731
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: four years and opposite Jalen Ramsey. He gets a lot

732
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: of action in l A and all of a sudden

733
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: he's coming back home, which is an amazing story of

734
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: how his career took the scenic route to get here.

735
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: And I I think that guys that have that kind

736
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: of a story, I think are special because the guys

737
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: that have a story like that develop a work ethic

738
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: that can be incomparable to anybody else because they had

739
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: to pay their dues, they had to work the extra

740
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: hours to be able to get to where they are,

741
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: and I think that's really unique. And when when you

742
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: add guys to a locker room that that have had

743
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: that kind of traveled road, I think it makes your

744
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: locker room better because that kind of work ethic can

745
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: rub off on other guys. And I've always said this

746
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: and that you know, sometimes you find the first round

747
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: picks that have incredible work ethics and there there's a

748
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: reason why they were a first round pick. And then

749
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 1: there are others that are first round picks because they

750
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: have just a God given ability. God has blessed them

751
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: with incredible traits. And then you have the guys that

752
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: have had to work and work and work in some reason,

753
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: and some of them had to work and work and

754
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: work because they were late bloomers, and those are the

755
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: ones that developed the better work ethic. And then eventually

756
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: the talent started to show and started to develop. And

757
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: I think that's a great story, and I think that

758
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: that kind of a guy that you can add to

759
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: the locker room. Again, we talked about this culture change. Okay,

760
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: I keep using that word because that that means something

761
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: for this year. I mean, that needs to be the

762
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: focal point for this football team. Culture change. Bringing in captains,

763
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: bringing in guys that have strong worth ethics, bringing in

764
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: guys that can bring something to a locker room to

765
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: elevate other guys. That's what this football team needs, and

766
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: that's what this coaching staff needs, and from judging the

767
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: free agent class as a whole, it looks like they've

768
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: addressed that very well. Lords turned in a moment with

769
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: a look around the National Football League. The Jaguars are

770
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: one of the busiest teams, but some other teams are

771
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: getting some big time acquisitions as well in free agency.

772
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: We are only a day into the NFL league year.

773
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: A look around the league when we come back on

774
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:15,239

777
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: Media Web if you will, you're watching a live look

778
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: at the construction footprint for the Football Performance Center, scheduled

779
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: to open in three just outside t i A Bank Field.

780
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: They have moved a lot of dirt. They're pouring some concrete.

781
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: The footprint has expanded over the last week or so.

782
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: It looks like, um, they're doing some construction things, which

783
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: is good. It's a good step. Where's the football fields

784
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: They're not They're they're covered in dirt. So yeah, so

785
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: they've gotta figure that out. Of course, offseason programs coming

786
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: up in April, it might be a combination the game

787
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: field the indoor right now and then we'll see what

788
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: happens come training camp and all that. But hey, it's

789
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: it's it's often running, which is good news. J P.

790
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Lockman. Thanks to Brandon Sheriff and for

791
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: joining us here in studio, the Jaguars right guard. I

792
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: wanted to kind of say that again because I wanted

793
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: to make sure that everybody pronounces his name right, because

794
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything worse than coming to a

795
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: new place and then here people mispronounce your name. We

796
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: got an old name, free agency class. I'll say that

797
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: it's a little different. But he as he said, he said,

798
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: think of sheriff. I shot the sheriff, and I said,

799
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: there's a new sheriff in town, right, Okay, there's no

800
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: eye in his name, thank you, but it's pronounced as

801
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: if there is so sheriff. Thank you. I like it

802
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,959
Speaker 1: very good. I just want to make sure that people

803
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: get it right. What are the other two? Trust me?

804
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: When you grew up with a name like Logerman, okay,

805
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: and you've heard that name mispronounced as many times as

806
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: I have you like that, have your name pronounced. Let's

807
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: go through the other ones. Fully photos, uh, fully photos

808
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: and Foyer Lou Khan, Yeah, a good football player, okay,

809
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk Christians to one. It's a tough one to get.

810
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: Darius Williams say Jones tongue twist. I don't know about

811
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: that one. Did I get down right, william I don't know.

812
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: We'll find out tomorrow. When pronounced his name for everybody.

813
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: Let's go around the National Football Let's do that. The

814
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: free agency frenzy continued, but not really with a player

815
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: that's a free agent yet. Deshaun Watson has been meeting

816
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: with teams. The Browns are out now. He met with

817
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: the Falcons earlier this week. The Panthers and Saints were

818
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: in the mix. There was a word earlier today that

819
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: he might have a decision by today this afternoon. I

820
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet. If it pops in the next

821
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: eight minutes, we'll give it to you. But Deshaun Watson,

822
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: all of a sudden is holding the cards well. And

823
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: I said this to you kind of off the air.

824
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: It's a crazy year in the National Football League. Here

825
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: at the start of free agency, and it involves the quarterbacks.

826
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: And this really is the first time ever in free

827
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: agency that quarterback has been as hot of a topic

828
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: and as a hot of a position in free agency.

829
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't wouldn't really call it free agency because

830
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is not a free agent. But the trades

831
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, what's gonna happen with Aaron Rodgers the question

832
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: marks there and here we are talking about DeShawn Watson,

833
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: which could and is gonna set off a domino effect.

834
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: It could be for Matt Ryan, could mean something for

835
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. If because Jamis Winston, if if all of

836
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: a sudden they signed to Shaun Watson, that's that's not

837
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: the place in New Orleans now for Jamis Winston. But

838
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't see Deshaun Watson being embraced in Carolina. I

839
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: think he would have a better chance of being embraced

840
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: in either Atlanta, which is his hometown, or New Orleans.

841
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: And uh, and that's all in his control because he

842
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: has a no trade clause. He has to okay where

843
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: he is traded to and then at that point the

844
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: terms have to be agreed upon with the Houston, Texans.

845
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: And then of course, if it's Atlanta. And by the way,

846
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was a ball boy for the Falcons when

847
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: he was growing up just outside of Atlanta, true story.

848
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck was there the equipment manager and Deshaun Watson

849
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: was working during training camp with the team. So if

850
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: it's Atlanta, they have a former m v P quarterback

851
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: is still in the roster in Matt right. Yeah, they're

852
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna figure that out. Yeah, But and and here's what

853
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: they have to figure out. They have to figure out

854
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: a way to clear the cap number that Matt Ryan

855
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: represents to to have the room to bring into Deshaun Watson.

856
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: And clearly they can make it happen, otherwise they wouldn't

857
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: be having the conversations. But Matt Ryan is not the

858
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: same Matt Ryan that went to a Super Bowl a

859
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: few years ago. JP. It's excellent point, I'm to say it.

860
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: He's been there for a long time. And if you're

861
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: gonna have that move now, But then there's a lot

862
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: of other teams that are kind of waiting to see

863
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: what happens with DeShawn Watson because then, okay, what's gonna happen?

864
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: And I know Baker Mayfield. There's still a question mark

865
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: there with Baker Mayfield. He's in his own feelings. That

866
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: sounds like, now, after that meeting the other day, what's

867
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: gonna happen in Cleveland, What's gonna happen in Seattle, What's

868
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: gonna happen in New Orleans, What's gonna happen in Atlanta.

869
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions Indianapolis. What's gonna happen in Indianapolis?

870
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders end up getting a guy that I

871
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't have given up anything. I got it right this time,

872
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. And to the R word or

873
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: Washington football team. I'm proud of myself. Way to go,

874
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: Way to go. Do you see, by the way, you

875
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: see what Carson Wentz was wearing at his press conference? Yeah,

876
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: I look terrible. He's wearing a Berkeley suit with a

877
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: yellow shirt and look terrible. But because let me tell you,

878
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: I have fashion sense like no other. Okay, I mean

879
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: look at me what I wear all the time, So

880
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm really I can judge. You know what. It reminded.

881
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 1: It reminded me of Kenya McCardell. Kenyan used to dress

882
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,479
Speaker 1: outlandish back in the day and uh, and he would

883
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: laugh at it if he were here. So I'm not

884
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: saying anything that I wouldn't tell him, but but he

885
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 1: was always a guy that that wore very bright colors

886
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: and different colors, and uh, but yeah, it was when

887
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: I saw the suit, I'm like, dude that, uh, yeah,

888
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: he might want to just kind of wear something neutral

889
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: and show up your press conference and uh be a

890
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,919
Speaker 1: little bit more reserved. Let's go through a few other

891
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: teams that have brought in a Hall in this time

892
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: frame here, at least via trade or by free agency.

893
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 1: The Bills get von Miller six years, one twenty million

894
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: dollars for von six years. He's like thirty three years old,

895
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: thirty four years old. He's gonna be about thirty eight

896
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: running around chasing people if he can see. I mean,

897
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: he can still play, you can still play, but he doesn't.

898
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: He doesn't. The one thing that I've watched with von

899
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: Miller is that he doesn't play every down. He takes

900
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: certain plays off, and but he's still an exceptional pass rusher.

901
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: He still can have an impact with with Buffalo, and

902
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 1: I think he will provide some great leadership. But again,

903
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: most of these contracts that you hear six years a

904
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: bazillion dollars, right, there is some more realistic year and

905
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: number that's associated with that contract, and it might be

906
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: two years and five million. I don't I don't know

907
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: what that number is, but there's there's a more realistic

908
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: number and a term to that contract than six years

909
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: and whatever that number was. The a f C West

910
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: was adding quarterbacks. They continue to add other players to

911
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: that as well. The Broncos of course, got Russell Wilson

912
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,959
Speaker 1: via the trade. They signed Randy Gregory for five years,

913
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: seventy million. The Chargers get wide by the way, Yeah,

914
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver Mike Williams goes to the Chargers. They got

915
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack in l A as well. I mean, that's

916
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: that's carnage. That whole division is going to be, uh,

917
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: just murderers. Row Well, Khalil Mack has familiarity with the

918
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: head coach there. They when Khalil Mack first went to Chicago,

919
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: the head coach now in l A was his coach

920
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: in Chicago, so that there's a lot a lot of

921
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: familiarity there. Uh, it's a it's a it's definitely been

922
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: a very different free agent period. I think it's been

923
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: one that's been very exciting, and particularly for this football team,

924
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: but I think lea league wide. I mean, that's why

925
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: this league is king because it and I remember, I'll

926
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: never forget this. You go all the way back to

927
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: when the NFL only had planned B and they were

928
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: talking about going to unrestricted free agency. And I was

929
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: having a conversation with our head coach at the time

930
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: in New York, which was Bruce Cousin, and I said, Bruce,

931
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: and said, I'm just telling you, when we get free agency,

932
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: I said, it's gonna make the the interest in the

933
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: sports just go through the refuees and oh, it's gonna

934
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: be bad for the game and this and that, and

935
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, really think about I mean, how many times

936
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: was the National Football League talked about in March for

937
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: free agency started in the nineties, one talked about And

938
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: so it's created a lot of interest, and it's given

939
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: everybody hope because if you've got a bad football team, okay,

940
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,439
Speaker 1: and we've been a bad football team the last couple

941
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: of years here, okay, but we still have hope because

942
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: we just acquired seven guys in free agency that can

943
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: help his football team win, that are proven players, and

944
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: then you've got twelve draft picks to add to. And

945
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of the National Football League. You can

946
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: always improve your football team if you do things the

947
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: right way. And hopefully this football team has taken some

948
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: steps and doing it the right way. And I believe

949
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 1: that with these free agents in the way that they

950
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: um have from a character standpoint, I think it's a

951
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: great first step. We say goodbye to Miles Jackie's going
