WEBVTT - Jaguars Happy Hour: Thursday, March 17 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:08.959 It's Thursday, March seventeen, Happy St. Patty's Day. This is 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:13.800 Jaguars Happy Hour. And now he may be an agent, 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:21.639 but he's certainly not free. Peace chad Rick, and welcome in. 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.720 It is Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday afternoon. J P. 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.480 Shadrick with you. We've got a busy, busy show ahead 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.360 of us. As always, on Thursday, Jaguars analyst Jeff Lockman 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:39.559 will join us free agency frenzy. The Jaguars have signed 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.000 seven new players, many of them were in the building today, 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.319 and one of them will join us on set at 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.480 for fifteen here live. It's Brandon shuff, the new guard 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.879 for the Jaguars, five time Pro bowler, first team All 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.480 Pro back in he'll join us in about fifteen minutes 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.080 here on Jaguars Happy Hour. We'll hear some highlights from 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.920 the press conference today here at t i A. Bank Field. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.880 We'll go around the National Football League. Jeff Flackman joins 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.320 us now in LUGS. The Jaguars just paid out one 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:14.200 fifty five million guaranteed dollars among the big seven signings. 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.039 How about that? A lot of money, a lot of case. Uh, 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.880 and that's uh. I hate to say this, but I 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.640 mean that's what you do when you haven't essentially been 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.080 really good at what the lifeblood of the franchise is, 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:32.440 which is drafting and uh. And it was exactly what 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.840 this organization needed to do because at some point you 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.160 need to change the culture. And part of changing the culture, 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.000 it's not so much about mindset. Is it about getting 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.560 better players. And in free agency, getting better players cost 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.080 you money. That's just the reality of it. And I 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.360 think they did a very good job of making sure 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.040 that they addressed positions that they needed to address. Did 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.760 they overpay, Yes, that's what you do in free agency. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.320 That's just the way it is. But the one thing 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.920 I will say about the contractual status of all of 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.800 these guys, for the most part, after two years, the 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.320 risk is no longer. Uh. Most of these deals are 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.960 two year deals. Would you like to see the players 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.560 complete the deals? Yes, because that means that the player 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.239 is playing to the level of the contract, and that's 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.639 what you want to see. But if something doesn't work out, 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.919 then it's not like you are gonna be stuck with 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.720 like an Ezekiel Elliott with the Cowboys right now, who 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:38.760 has a guaranteed contract that Ezekiel Elliott has not played 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.320 to that level last year and is not expected to 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.560 pay play to that level this year. So from that standpoint, 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.720 I like it. And around about that time is when hopefully, 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.560 if things go well, Trevor Lawrence's contract will start coming 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.520 back around. And that kind of looking at the luxury 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.919 years down the line. That gives you the luxury because 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.120 you have a quarterback called a rookie contract. You hope 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.880 that the quarterback gets to the point where you have 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.399 to make tough decisions and you're gonna have to pay 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.440 him fifty sixty million a year, you know which is 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.040 I think that's essentially that's the going rate. I mean, 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.280 look at Aaron Rodgers new deal. I think I think 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.040 the new money average is sixto million dollars a year. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.560 And so let's look down the road four years from now, 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.760 that's what the going rate is. It's going to be 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.919 at least that because the captain theory could keep growing. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.800 In theory, when has it ever gone down with the 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.800 exception of it just keeps going up and up and up. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:43.600 So you have that luxury um and and I like 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.360 the fact that they have addressed both sides the ball 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.120 most of the guys are, you know, because Schurff is 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.280 a little older. But for the most part, these guys 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.880 are young. And when I say young, that they're they're 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.240 approaching or are in their prime. And that's what you 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.480 want in the re agent market. Can you sprinkle in 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.240 guys that might be a little bit older, a little 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.280 longer in the tooth, Sure, absolutely, but those guys you 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.600 typically want to try to acquire on shorter deals. But 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.560 but I like the list. I love the addition of 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.160 surf a J. Cann. I wish him the best of 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:23.800 luck with the Houston Texans is an upgrade. Okay, fact 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.560 it will also help your right tackle position. Whoever that 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.520 ends up being. They stead yesterday. They still have confidence 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.120 in Joan Taylor there well, And I think the competition 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.680 needs to exist for Juan Taylor. I mean, let's not 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.760 sugarcoat it. Joan Taylor. I think it was a high 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.520 pick for a reason, and I still think with with 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.680 better coaching, he can become better. It's not like he's 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:50.600 done improving. But competition makes everybody better, even me and 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.400 you JP. We compete all the time, absolutely, and I 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.919 win most of those, yeah, pretty much. I don't know 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.600 how with a microphone, you win all the time. I'm 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.920 not gonna argue that. So let's go through Christian Kirk 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.800 and let me just say something about him, because he's 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.880 kind of he's kind of that cherry on the top 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.919 of this of this free agent class, thirty seven million 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.200 guaranteed to him, and that's the most money out of 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.120 all of these guys. There's been a lot of little 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:19.120 criticism online about that, which that happens because criticism happens 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.920 every year when you start talking about free agent classes, 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.880 and you talk about guys that may not be at 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.360 the top of their position, but when they hit free agency, 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:35.159 they set the new market. And for wide receivers around 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.080 the league that may be upset that they may be 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.440 better than Christian Kirk, that are upset, wait a minute, hey, guys, 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:45.680 slow down, because the Christian Kirks of the National Football 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.720 League are good for your business because if you are 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.400 a better wide receiver than him, when you do get 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.840 to the opportunity to be on the market, your price. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.920 We'll start at where Christian Kirk ended up. Gonna say 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.000 better send him a fruit basket or something, a thank 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.679 you carter. But I remember preparing for the Arizona Cardinals 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.960 game and it was a J Green and DeAndre Hopkins 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.760 and fits and who Larry Fitzgerald Fair Larry Fitzgerald who 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.960 you know obviously wasn't it was not the same player 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.800 that he was younger, but Christian Kirk when you watched 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:25.640 the film Great Weapon, and I believe in in my opinion, 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.160 he was the most explosive player that they had in 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.840 the wide receiving corps with the Arizona Cardinals. And I 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.640 think it's gonna be exciting to watch to see where 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.520 they play him. And I know that Doug Peterson talked 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.320 about they're gonna play him anywhere and everywhere, depending on matchups, 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.600 not just a slot. And that's a good thing. And 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.960 the more weapons you have, the better off you are. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.680 Let's hear from Christian Kirk today. He spoke with the 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.000 media here at t I A bank field and a 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.480 lot of thanks to go around. I just wanted to say, uh, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.960 you know, thank you to Mr Cohn, Mr Balky, Coach 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:02.000 Peterson and the Jexaville Jaguars organization and for UM giving 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.279 me the opportunity to be here. I'm super excited to 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.880 get to work and it just feels great to be, 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.360 you know, a part of an organization that has shown 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.080 so much interest in you know, my potential, my ability 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.400 to be able to come here and uh, you know 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.720 be a part of this organization. So I just want 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.720 to say that I'm ready to get to work. And 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.840 not the only receiver signed by the Jaguars, of course. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.280 Zay Jones comes in from the Las Vegas Raiders. He's 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.040 out of East Carolina. Originally was with the Bills of 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.160 a second round pick, and then moved over to the 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.080 Oakland Raiders and then went on the move to Las 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.560 Vegas with the organization as well. He played in that 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.520 seventeen playoff game, the wild Card game here in Jacksonville 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.200 with the Bills. That was the last time he stepped 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.440 fut in the stadium until today in fact, and then 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.520 of course played the Jaguars in the Raiders final game 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.360 in Oakland. The Jaguars won that game as well. But 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.600 we heard from za Jones today as well and what 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.600 he could bring in, what the culture could be here 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.120 in Jacksonville. I believe in it, um. I think it's 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.600 a I've talked to some other players that have been 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.160 with with Doug and these guys and They've told me 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.120 a little bit about the offense and like how it 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.440 works and and schematically and things like that, but I 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.000 just had to take their word for it, do my 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:20.080 own research and things like that. But um, it's a 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.360 great team young quarterback who who to me looks very 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.360 very promising and very good and I believe in and 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.080 you know, I want to be a part of something 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.040 that's that's building towards the future. And ultimately, yeah, just 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.440 my heart, I was like, Yeah, that's the place I 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.360 want to go. Yeah, so Z Jones coming in. What 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.440 do you like about his game? I think he adds 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.160 competition to that positional group and that's what you needed. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:46.319 And I know that, Uh, there's a lot of confidence 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.640 in the guys that were already in that room as 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.720 far as the younger players that they have and can 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.200 they continue to develop And that's great, and but you 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.080 can't be overconfident in a room to the point where 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.800 you stop adding guys to a room. And I think 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.400 the uh, the running back room, to give you another example, 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.400 they didn't address it in free agency, but I really 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.200 believe that that's going to be addressed in the draft. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.240 Because you feel good about the two guys that you have, 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.280 but they're coming off of injuries and and again, you 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.640 can't ever stop adding to the room. Competition makes everybody better. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:18.880 And I think that's a Jones is gonna come in. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.240 He's gonna compete. He's got a little bit more size 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.560 than Christian Kirk, which a lot of people might find 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.040 that surprising. And uh, and he's a very fast guy. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.040 So the faster players, the more speed that you can 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.000 get on the field for a young quarterback, the better 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.160 off that you're gonna be. And I think it's gonna 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:39.000 be fun to watch the competition at wide receiver because 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.760 think about it now, Uh, there's a lot of guys 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.080 that are gonna be fighting for one ball. There's only 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.360 one ball that they play with on the field, right, 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.400 and you're throwing the tight ends in the mix as well. Yeah, 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.800 Evan Ingram, you know, comes from the Giants, was widely 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.480 thought to be one of these kind of the new 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:01.440 tight ends. And and look, it's it's no uh secret 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.679 that the Giants have had quarterback issues ever since the 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.240 departure of Eli Manning. They tried to address it with 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.800 Daniel Jones. It hasn't quite worked out yet. And but 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.880 yet Evan Ingram still has caught a lot of balls, 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.439 and with an offense and a football team that hasn't 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.000 been very good, and I uh, the one thing about 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:23.920 him I will say is that he's not a real 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.640 big guy. He's a move tight end. Okay, he's a 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:32.240 he's a true move tight end. But you you pare 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.880 him with Dan Arnold and now you have two tight 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.440 ends that are gonna have and create interesting matchups for 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.880 defenses to contend with. I look forward to watching that. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.720 We'll come back in a moment. Brandon Schuff one of 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.480 the other offensive editions, I would say, one of the 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.720 biggest offensive editions. This guy's massive physically. Yes, he's gonna 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.839 join us here in studio. Yeah, he's a he's a 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.960 good football player. He's been real steady, hurt a little 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.320 bit the last couple of years. But when he is, 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.640 when he's healthy, he is, uh by far, I think 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.040 one of the best right guards in football. We'll get 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.040 in his head when we come back here in studio 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.400 a little later. We'll hear more highlights from the defensive 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.920 free agents added by the Jaguars. We are often running 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:25.800 It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. It's 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.920 heading in the right direction, and it's something that we 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.240 had to you know, take a strong, hard look at, 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.040 you know, obviously to protect the quarterback, protect Trevor and 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:34.839 and and not so much in the passing game, but 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.560 also the ability to run the football. You know, we 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.400 feel like the running back room when healthy is is 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.400 a dynamic group. We feel like the tight ends are 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.720 a dynamic group and they're all part of the run game, 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.160 you know as well. So you know, we took some 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.640 really good uh steps forward in that direction, um with 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.440 with keeping keeping can Cam and and obviously getting getting 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.040 you know, Brandon Schurff, and you got Juwan, you got Walker, 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.760 little of me, We got guys shot Lee back. So 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.400 you know there's guys there now that we're putting pieces 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.800 together and we still have you know, the ability in 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.960 the draft to to add some more depth and add 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.640 some more value at that position. That is Jaguar's head 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.080 coach Doug Peterson on Jack's Drive Time yesterday and welcome 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.920 back to Jaguars Happy Hour on a Thursday afternoon.

Okay, just think of that. There's 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.840 a new sheriff and town. Okayriff, I like that. Okay, 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.120 See you have a way with words. It's an easy 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:46.280 way to remember it because whatever. Yeah, that makes a 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.559 lot of sense. Welcome to Jackson though, thank you. Yeah 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.280 you uh, Iowa guy born and raised right, you know, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.440 Brad Measter, yep, I will know the name. Yeah, okay, 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.400 long time jaguar you know. That's so the northern Iowa 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.240 guy it and go ye. But Aaron Campmon was here, 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.880 you know, obviously for a little bit of method. Uh. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.600 And then I just saw Mackay, sergeant from Iowa. So 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.640 we're getting there on Hawkeye is all over, that's right. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.320 So a free agent process. Is this the first time 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.440 that you actually ever got into free agency as a 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.800 as a pro. What what was the experience like for you? Uh, 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.120 you know, I worked out on let's see Monday and Uh, 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.240 my agent called me a couple of times and uh, 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.240 he said, I'll do all the negotiating and just just 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.240 sit by your phone and he says, we agreed to terms. Congratulations, 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.160 So we're excited. Didn't that crazy? How it is? I mean, 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:38.920 it's just all of a sudden. I mean back in 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.760 the day, there used to be, uh, at least a 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.679 little bit of a period of time where they'd fly 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.319 in and they'd wine and dine you. And nowadays it's 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.360 like like the draft. You know, that's what you have 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.240 your you know, your not your official visits, but your visits, 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.480 and you go wine and dine with the coaches and 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.840 have your top five or whatever that you think you're 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.280 gonna go to, and you go to somebody absolutely completely different. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.400 So we we Brandon and I were talking kind of 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.319 kind of Chuck Land because Brandon has done a charity 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.839 event up in Iowa which is called Aiming for a Cure, 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.320 which I actually have done a couple of different times. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.240 And we had a mutual friend who recently passed away, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.960 Mr Tim Anderson of Mossy Oak and UH and Brandon 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.760 played with the Redskins. I grew up in Stirling in Virginia, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.640 which growing up as a kid, that's where the Redskins 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.280 training facility was located at. When now it's in Ashburn, Virginia, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:25.920 which is where I lived at for a period of 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.320 time when I was playing with the Jet So we 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.280 have a little bit of a connection there. But how 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.360 is your time in Washington? That was great? You know, 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.160 I met a lot of great people. I got coached 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.960 by a lot of great coaches, and those are you know, 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.320 memories that are gonna last forever for me. So, you know, 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.440 taking a small kid out of Iowa to go to 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.800 big DC, you know, I wouldn't have it any other way. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.400 So I appreciate everybody that, you know, made an impact 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.960 on my life. All the coaches. UH Coach Gruden is 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.920 one that drafted me, Coach Callahan, UH coach Phil, Uh, 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.880 Coach Rivera coach, matsco coach Travel. You know, I had 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.680 some amazing coaches. So I'm grateful for for all of them. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.200 Doug Peterson yesterday talked about when when they're signing you, 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.080 they wanted you in here as part of this culture build. 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.400 What does that mean to you? A culture build? I 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.160 mean I spoke on a little bit earlier I think 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.800 it's just just doing it everything the right way. Um, 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.400 you know, I think, uh, you know, my dad instilled 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.440 that in me. And then coming into Iowa, you know, 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.320 coach Farren's uh, coach Doyle was a strength coach and 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.560 then coach Ray was the assistant strength coach there Reese Morrigan. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.080 Just to laid the foundation on how to be a 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.560 man and how to practice and how to how to 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.120 conduct yourself inside and outside of football. Um. So I 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.120 think it's just a compliment that you're doing everything the 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.960 right way and people see that. So, you know, that's 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.440 one of the goals that I've ever had in my 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.200 life is to just um lead the way that um 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.880 people can look up to you and you know, just 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.000 kind of you're doing the right thing, so they appreciate that. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.840 And and part of being a leader is wearing the 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.000 seat captain of a football team. And you were a 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.200 captain with the Redskins. How many years were you were 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.680 captain for the Redskins? And were you a captain in Iowa? Uh? 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.960 Three years? And then I don't think they had captains. 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.800 I think they just picked one. Yes Iowa. Yeah, coach 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.479 appointed game day captains. I hate when they do that. 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.320 Coffin used to do that here in early days, he'd 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.920 picked captains. He would never actually have anybody a name 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:19.800 caps there. But whatever, But congratulations on the contract, Congratulations 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.680 on being a Jaguar, and uh, I know that the 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.880 first time that I got to free agency wasn't about 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.080 your seven. And it's different. You know, you know you're 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.280 you're seven for you and so it's uh, it's it's 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.440 fun and it's exciting. And I think the one thing 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.480 that it did for me and and I don't know 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.080 if you need the same thing or not, but it 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:41.120 kind of re energized me as a player because where 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.600 I came from, we didn't win a lot. And uh, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.880 and I know you have the struggles in Washington, but 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.600 also now the new environment, the new teammates might kind 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.040 of make things new and fun again, right, you know. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.280 I had, like I said, I had a blasting uh 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.840 in Washington, and I you know, some of my most 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.240 favorite memories are just hanging out at the house, you know, 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.480 I said, I always speak about ot has being one 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.720 of my favorite, uh favorite parts of the season, because 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.719 that's where you get to really figure out who your 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.320 teammates are, you know, just not as football players, but 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.000 you know, you can see their families or wives or 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.280 girlfriends or kids, so you get uh, you know, I 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.080 always say Corey looking striker was my center. We'd have 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.160 a race from O. T. A. S To his house 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.720 because the girls will be out of the pool, kids 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.520 to be running around, and then we just play volleyball 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.600 offense versus defense for ten hours, you know, And that 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.240 was what everybody looked forward to as a race of 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.280 Cory's house. So just just doing that, and then you know, 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.480 we'd have game nights at our house with whoever wanted 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.240 to come. Last year, we had oh, I don't know, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.680 forty people over for Thanksgiving at our house last year. 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.800 So we had Logan Thomas and all the online helped 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.119 pitching for a meal.
