Earlier this week, 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: the organized team activities got back underway on Tuesday after 23 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: the Memorial Day holiday. Three practices last week, and then 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: the team was off Friday through Monday, the holiday actual 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: holiday on Monday, and then back to work Tuesday. Three 26 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: practices on the schedule for this week, and by league rule, 27 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: they can't have more than two in a row this week. 28 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: Next week there will be four on the schedule at least, 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: and historically teams on that tenth and final O tier 30 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: at scheduled for Friday of next week, a lot of 31 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: times do a team building activity or even you know, 32 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: sometimes give the team off. We'll see what Doug Peterson 33 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: as in mind on the tenth and final O t 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: A of next week. But I will get a chance 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: as media to be out there one day per week. 36 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: We're out on the O t A number one last 37 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: week and then out there on Tuesday this week. They 38 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: started practice on the game field and then a little 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: pop up shower came along. The rain was fine enough, 40 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: and then a rumble of thunder and and bang, there 41 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: you go. The lightning moved the practice indoors into the 42 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: dream Finders Homes Flex field for the remainder of the workout, 43 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: and you know, of course, all eyes are on the 44 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence and this offense and how things feel. 45 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: And maybe you get a better sense after a week 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: of practices, at least from a head coach Doug Peterson 47 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: three practices in going in to that fourth practice, he 48 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: spoke before Tuesday's practice about maybe an overview of the team, 49 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: what he feels after one week of organized team activities. 50 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: It was a good week, you know for us. UM again, 51 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: it was the first time really since that first minicamp 52 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: several weeks ago, to be you know out there and 53 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: the way the way I've got a set up, you know, Um, 54 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: we're working some first and second down, some third down, 55 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: some red zone stuff and throughout the course of the week, 56 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: so we're throwing a lot at the guys. And right now, 57 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: the guys have really handled the information. They've taken it 58 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: from the classroom to the practice field and and that's 59 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: really what we want to see right now. You can't 60 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: see physicality and all that kind of stuff and tackling 61 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: and all that yet, but um, you know, the guys 62 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: are they're moving in the right way. They're they're practicing fast, 63 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: they're they're protecting each other, and that's what we want 64 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: to see, and that's what I want to see this 65 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: time of year. You gotta love that attitude from Doug Peterson. 66 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: He just understands the pace of the off season. And 67 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: we've talked about this and shows before the last few weeks. Um, 68 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna win the super Bowl today, but you 69 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: can win the super Bowl by being ready to go 70 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: for the regular season with your team healthy and motivated 71 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: and locked in and ready. And that's what they're going 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: for right now. The pace of just bringing in the 73 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: class from the classroom to the practice field. Don't get 74 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: anybody hurt right now. You know, we know exactly what 75 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna go over today in this time of year, 76 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: and we can handle the rest, come training camp and 77 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: into the regular season to get ready for the opponent 78 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: week to week. So I'm not gonna reinvent the wheel 79 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: and do this a different way. He's done it before, 80 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: he's built it before, he's been in the league, as 81 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: we've said all over this offseason, since he knows the 82 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: schedule of how things are supposed to feel and look 83 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: around here. Now. Part of the situation here is taking 84 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: over what happened last year with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course, 85 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: for Doug Peterson, taking over the remnants of the Urban 86 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: Meyer regime and an organization that was shattered in a 87 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: lot of different ways in that locker room after everything 88 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,119 Speaker 1: that happened a year ago. And there's a fine line 89 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: though on as he said earlier this offseason, regaining the 90 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: trust of the football team and the people on the 91 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: football side after everything thing that happened a year ago. Well, 92 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: there's a fine line between that but still getting work 93 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: done and pushing the team forward and striving for a 94 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: few things. Yes, there might be limits to that in 95 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: the off season program, but there's still some checklist of 96 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: things they need to get done, and they have to 97 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: push towards certain things and certain milestones in the off season. 98 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: And Doug Peterson earlier this week understands that fine line 99 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: between regaining the trust and still pushing the players the 100 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: right way. As as I gained their trust, I can 101 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: push a little bit harder, um, And there is a 102 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: fine line there, and there is a balance there, and 103 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: that just comes from just understanding and really reaching out 104 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: to the players and and kind of you know, seeing 105 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: how they react to certain things. Um, you know, I 106 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: want to push them in practice. I want to challenge 107 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: them in practice, but at the same time, I don't 108 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: want to I don't want to really overstep my balance 109 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: a little bit right now, you know with them, and 110 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: and uh, at the same time, when I do that, 111 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: I want to see the turn you know, back, you know, 112 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: towards towards what we're doing. And and That's what I've seen. 113 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: And so the more the more that we continue to 114 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: have that that that two way you know, communication and dialogue, 115 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: I can continue to push a little bit harder. Obviously, 116 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, in the off season, we you know, we 117 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 1: go a little bit easier. But I think it happens 118 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: more in training camp when the pads come on and 119 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: and it gets a little warmer outside and and we 120 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: can we can really challenge them a little bit more. Yeah. So, 121 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: you know, step by step, understand that relationship has to 122 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: grow at some point. And once that relationship grows, then 123 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: you can push the team a little bit further. He's 124 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: been through it before as a player. He gets that 125 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: whole push and pull that goes on between UM coaches 126 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: and players. And in the way this thing has really started. 127 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: Up here, it's Jaguars Happy Hour on tint XL a 128 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: M and Jaguars dot Com. J P. Shadrick with you, 129 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: Jeff Log Human out this week. Coming up, Christian Kirk, 130 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: Jaguars wide receiver, and then John Oser coming up at 131 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour. Let's here's some more from 132 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson. Last week, Trevor Lawrence spoke and 133 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: talked a little bit about the pace of the defense 134 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: after the first O t A practice. There were a 135 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: few plays in the eleven on eleven that we saw 136 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: in that open practice and in O t A number 137 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: one where defensive linemen are getting free and rushing the 138 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: quarterback and he's having a hustle a couple throws out 139 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: of there. Well, this week Peterson asked about the pace 140 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: of defense. Is there really a limit to it? Yes, 141 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: we know there's no contact officially, but is there a 142 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: rule on the or a Jaguars rule of sorts against 143 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: um maybe going a little too hard in practice. And 144 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: here's what Peterson said. Listen, it's full speed, you know, 145 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: full speed drills, and again, because you're not in pads, 146 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: it's really hard for the offense and defensive lines to 147 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 1: really you know, kind of control the pace of place 148 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: sometimes and and you know it's just it's hard, it's 149 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: really hard. But at the same time, you know, um, 150 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: it's sort of it's sort of the fun of it, 151 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, the competition of it, and and really to 152 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: see the competitive juices flowing a little bit out there 153 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: on the practice field and you know, um, you know, 154 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback feels it when when the pocket you know, 155 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: is collapsed a little bit. But again, because we're not 156 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: in pads, it's really hard to to anchor and you know, 157 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: grab a hold of something you know, I guess like 158 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: a shoulder pad to to stop a rushing line. Yeah, 159 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: so it's tough to evaluate. Especially in the trenches this 160 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: time of year, you'll get a little bit of work 161 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: and they actually have flipped at least in the practice 162 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: we saw this week on Tuesday, some of the positions 163 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: on the offensive line from drill to drill. There was 164 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: a walker little working at left tackle and then over 165 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: at right tackle and the Juwan Taylor was getting some 166 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: left tackle reps also. Just at least put him out 167 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: there in a scenario or two and just see what 168 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: you have Cam Robinson was not available on two day 169 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: and there was a report that he is back in 170 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 1: the building or was back on the building on Wednesday 171 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: and maybe the rest of the weeks. That's good news 172 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: moving ahead, and maybe next week we'll see a little 173 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: Cam Robinson in the building after he signed that big 174 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: contract a little earlier this offseason. Another position group of 175 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: note for the Jaguars, and it's been something this organization 176 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: has been trying to deal with really since Marcedes Lewis left, 177 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: and that's the tight end position, and they've thrown money 178 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: at a bunch of different guys over the years. Of course, 179 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: we know that Julius Thomas that didn't work out, Austin 180 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: Seferi and Jenkins Nope, Tyler Eiffort had a moment, but 181 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: not really. Um. Meanwhile, Marcedes Lewis, by the way, is 182 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: still playing for the Green Bay Packers, and uh, you 183 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: know it's going to take him a few years, but 184 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: if he hung around a couple three more years, he'll 185 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: be close to the most all time games played by 186 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: a tight end in league history. It's Jason Witten at 187 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: two seventy one, Mercedes at two thirty four. He's a packer. 188 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: He's not a jag Har, but he was a long 189 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: time Jaguar. They've been trying to figure it out since then, 190 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: but now they've made some changes to that. Of course 191 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: this year, Evan Ingram comes in this year and we'll 192 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: hear from John Osan coming up. I think he caught 193 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: up with Evan Ingram earlier this week, who came in 194 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: in free agency and was a former first round pick. 195 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: And we'll see what he can do in this offense. 196 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: And you know the feeling just talking to guys like 197 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks and some and Jeff Lockman who's seen him 198 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: in practice. It's at least a time or two. The 199 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: early field is that it's not just a true online 200 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: tight end. I mean he's gonna be out there wide 201 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: and making plays on the outside. That's the idea behind it. 202 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: Dan Arnold is the same way he had moments of 203 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: that last season and is healthy now and he's out 204 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: on the practice field and that Luke Farrell was a 205 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: draft pick last year. Chris man Hurts is the lead 206 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: blocking option there. That was the idea going into last 207 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: season and actually caught the first ever touchdown pass from 208 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence last season. Trivia answer a little later down 209 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: the line in his career. But there's some other tight 210 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: ends on the roster right now that our project idea 211 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: type players. A guy like Nas Bohannon who came in 212 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: and the rookie minicamp as a tryout player, and well 213 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: he's he played basketball at Clemson to wrap up his 214 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: career and has not played football, but at least early 215 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: looks the part, moves the right way, can make some 216 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: plays in this o t a period. That's a project 217 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: moving ahead. Other guys on the roster, great Grayson Gunner 218 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: a rookie, and Garrett Prince also a rookie. So a 219 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: deeper room right now. And Doug Peterson asked about the 220 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: tight ends earlier this week. A lot of bodies in there, um, 221 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: which is exciting. You know, I think it's uh, I 222 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: think it's a strong part of our team right now. Um, 223 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: it's a it's a really good group, veteran group, you know, 224 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: leadership in there with with Dan and Chris and and 225 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: even with Evan now you know, adding there and really 226 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: like we're who is and how he's progressed this offseason 227 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: and and then the young guys are still learning, you know, 228 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: they've only been with us a couple of weeks now, 229 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: but um, I'm encouraged by that group, you know, and 230 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: and really looking forward again too. I think training camp 231 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: when when the pads come on and watching them and 232 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: their their physicality and blocking and and um, you know 233 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: how how well they perform, and think about the tight 234 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: ends and what the importance of that position was for 235 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: the Eagles back in their championship run in and you'll 236 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: get an idea of what that means for Doug Peterson 237 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: and Press Taylor in this offensive group going into the campaign. 238 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: At least that's the hope a tied end. You mix 239 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: those guys in with wide receivers like Christian kirk whool 240 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: here from coming up and a veteran receiver like Marvin 241 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,359 Speaker 1: Jones who has a long streak of games with a reception, 242 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: and you know, younger guys on this roster they feel 243 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: like can be an impact group in this passing game 244 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: than an improved quarterback on top of all that, that 245 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: could be a nice combination for this Jaguars offense. That's 246 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: the idea, at least moving into this season. We've got 247 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: putting ahead on the show a little later, we'll hear 248 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: from John Ozer, Jaguars dot Com senior writer that's at 249 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour and also coming up in 250 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: a moment, Christian kirk Jaguars wide receiver, the free agent 251 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: signing from the Arizona Cardinals.

T A S. 281 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: And I was just talking about it a little bit earlier. 282 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: Or it's it's hard not to to get into that 283 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: that groove and and feel like, oh I gotta be ready, 284 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, and and be ready to play like we 285 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: have a game on Sunday, and just the competitive juices 286 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: are flowing and we're going against the defense, and just 287 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: the important thing right now is just working through all 288 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: the kinks. These are the times to make mistakes and uh, 289 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: now that we're learning a new system and whatnot, you know, 290 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: we're just trying to learn all the nuances and you know, 291 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: get ready for a training camp. I'm curious about that 292 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: process of learning a new offense. We talked about the 293 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks part of it all the time. He's got so 294 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: many things to worry about line play, You guys on 295 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: the outside, running back, the running get everything. But from 296 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: a wide receiver's perspective, how friendly is this offense for 297 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: a guy like you? And how difficult is it to 298 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: to learn all the nuances of it? Yeah, it's very 299 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: you know friendly for a receiver and you know, all 300 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: of us as weapons because it allows us to be 301 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: all interchangeable, and you know, it challenges you to know 302 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: every position on the field. And the more you know, 303 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: the more opportunities you get to be in different to 304 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: go out and make plays. And uh, Coach Peterson and 305 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: you know Press have done a great job of you know, 306 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: making this offense, Uh, you know, fairly easy to learn, 307 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: and the transition has been you know, very fairly simple. 308 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: And you know, we get a lot of time during 309 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: O t A s you know, in the classroom man 310 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: on the field, So uh, they don't just throw it 311 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: all at you and tell you to learn it. Uh. 312 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: They do a good job facilitating, you know, being able 313 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: to to get through and get some reps and and 314 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: just learning all the things that they want to accomplish. 315 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: When you hear Trevor Lawrence talking through the offense and 316 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: those different things you guys install over time, I'm guessing 317 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: it comes out pretty clear from him that he knows 318 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: what's up on this offense. Yeah, and you know he 319 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: does a great job in meetings, um, you know kind 320 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: of adding you know what he's thinking on a certain 321 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: play or you know what he's expecting in certain expectations, 322 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, for us, and it keeps that open line 323 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: of you know, communication and everything's transparent. So uh, you 324 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: know he's done a great job in that aspect. Christian 325 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: Kirk is with US Jaguars wide Receiver here on Jaguar's 326 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: Happy Hour. You know there's a lot of new faces 327 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: around here. You're one of them. Here's a Jones coming in, 328 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: got a couple of Vets in that room, and Marvin 329 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: Jones has been in the league forever. It feels like, um, 330 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: how difficult is it or is it at all to 331 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: to get that camaraderie? Is that overplayed? Is that overhyped 332 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: sometimes that oh they gotta get time together and figure 333 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: out the room or is that a real thing for 334 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: wide receivers.

And I think the big 357 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: thing for us is, you know, we have so much 358 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: talent in our room. We have to hold ourselves to 359 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: a high standard and there's a lot of expectation from 360 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: us and we know that and and that's our job 361 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: to deliver.

Now. Christian Kirk is with us. It 367 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: seems like, you know, we're just kind of meeting for 368 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: the first time. But you've settled in a little bit here, 369 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: right you've you're you're in the in the element now. 370 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: But how much of a whirlwind was this offseason leading 371 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: into free agency and everything that happened, and all of 372 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: a sudden you're at a press con, for instance, this 373 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: contract coming in. Uh, it seems like that was just boy, 374 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: let me get through this and get back to football. 375 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: How wild was this offseason? It was nuts, you know, 376 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: looking back at it, Um, there's so many unknowns and 377 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: you have expectations and then your expectations are flipped upside 378 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: down and you because everybody's process is different. You know, 379 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: the guys that have been through a free agency and 380 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: you know, I had to talk to a couple of 381 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: guys that have been through it, and uh, they're like, 382 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: it always ends up the opposite of what you think. 383 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: And you know, that's what it was for me. You know, 384 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: I had known that about Jacksonville. Obviously he had came 385 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: here and played last year. But uh, obviously had no 386 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: clue where I was gonna end up. And you know, 387 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: after you know, got the call, and then the next 388 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: thing I know, I'm on a fly.

You know, 392 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit of a whirlwind. But I 393 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: couldn't be happier, you know, being here, Christian Kurr, because 394 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: with us a Jaguars Happy Hour on tin t X 395 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: l a M and Jaguars dot Com.

I mean, you grew 397 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: up in Arizona, right Scott's Saguaro High School, did a 398 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: little research here, David Spade went to school there, the comedian, 399 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: A handful of NFL guys. Who else in the end, 400 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys had some really good football teams 401 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: with Saguaro. So who other guys are anybody else in 402 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: the league right now? Yeah? You know, we we have 403 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: Byron Murphy who was a teammate of mine in Arizona 404 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: as well. Me and Byron played a year together at Sorrow, 405 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: and then Dj Foster as well. Dj was a senior 406 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: when I was a freshman. Um, but we've had you know, 407 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: Mike Brown, and you know a couple of other guys 408 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: you know go to the NFL. But um, you know, 409 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: coach Mons has been coaching me since I was about 410 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: I would say seven or eight years old, and he's 411 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: the head coach over there now and they just won 412 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: the Open division, you know, state championship. That that means 413 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: you get the crown in Arizona. And I couldn't be 414 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: more proud than than them. But um, you know, that 415 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: was definitely some of the highlight of years of my career. 416 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: You guys want a lot of state titles, right, don't 417 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: call me sir, my bad, my bad. We won, We 418 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: won three. We went three while I was there. Yeah, 419 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: only three, only three? You missed one. Yeah, that's okay. 420 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: It was sophomore. We're in a little bit of a 421 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: rebuild where young I'm curious to you go from Arizona 422 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: to you go on the recruiting trail. I'm sure at 423 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: some point and all of a sudden end up at 424 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: A and M. That was coach someone's time there were 425 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: you like being courted. That was probably when Manziello was 426 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: still quarterbacking at A and M. Right, was that that 427 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: time period Johnny had left I want to say two years, 428 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: So two years I was on the trail before you came. So, 429 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: so Kenny Hill was a quarterback the year before I 430 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: got there. So um My, one of my best friends 431 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: from Arizona, Kyle Island, who now plays for the Houston Texans. 432 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: He was quarterback at Texas A and M and Kyler Murray. 433 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: Me and Kyler Murray were in the same class. Uh, 434 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: so I had a lot of ties there and I 435 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: wanted to play in the SEC, had always wanted to. 436 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: And uh, coach someone had brought that spread offense and 437 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: that dynamic offense to the SEC and had the opportunity 438 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: to play early as a freshman. So it was a 439 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: no brainer for me. Freshman of the Year in the 440 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: SEC back in that mentioned Kyler Murray, right, then all 441 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: of a sudden you get to play with him in Arizona. 442 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: That kind of a quarterback, that kind of a dynamic 443 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: player who all of a sudden Kentucket and run for 444 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: fifty yards. How challenging is that? How rewarding is that 445 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: for an offense to you can go both ways when 446 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: you have a guy like Kyler Murray's status. Yeah, you 447 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: know he was. He was always dynamic and it was 448 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: just another um facet of our offense that you know, 449 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: you had to deal with. And uh, that's what makes 450 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: them special. He does things like that makes plays with 451 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: his legs and with his arm as well, and all 452 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're running down the field. Wait a minute, 453 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: you're running by me. What's happening right? Right? Yeah, No, 454 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: there's there's there's plenty of times where that happened. Christian 455 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: kirk Is with US Jaguars wide receiver. A couple more 456 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: minut us with you here. Um so a few weeks 457 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: into this offseason program, now with two weeks left, well, 458 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: this week, next week's the final cotis, then there's the 459 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp after that, all of a sudden, us 460 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: to the off season. You've had all this time in 461 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: the offense, as you said, step by step getting this 462 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: thing going. Well, what's the field? Can can this be 463 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: a unit that turns it in one year? It's possible 464 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: with the NFL to do that. But do you have 465 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: some of those pieces that foundation in place? You feel 466 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: like right now, I definitely think we had the pieces 467 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: and we're we're still laying the foundation. Um. I think 468 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: some of those questions will be answered a little bit 469 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: more and when we get into training camp and we 470 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: want answers now. We don't want to wait to training Hey, 471 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: I want all the answers now. Too. I I want 472 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 1: to know how many games we're gonna win and you know, 473 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: go to the playoffs as well. But uh, like I said, 474 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: this is what this process is. But um, I have been, 475 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: you know, fairly impressed with how we've been able to 476 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: progress every single day, you know, offensively and defensively. And um, 477 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: like I said, just the energy in the culture around 478 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: this this building, and you could tell there's just there's 479 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: a sense of excitement and you know I have it 480 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: as well, and you know we're gonna we're shooting, you know, 481 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: for the for the for the sky's the limit. Starts 482 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: with Doug, Right, Doug Peterson in the way he kind 483 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: of walks around every day and he's been there and 484 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: done that as a player. As a coach, he's want 485 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: to ring. He doesn't flash it in your face and 486 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: everybody just goes to work. Like I mean, that's this 487 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: game is confidence and uh you know, having that mentality that, 488 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: uh you know, when you step on the field, you 489 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: know you're you're the best team that day, and uh 490 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, especially individually too. So he definitely brings that 491 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: swagger in that confidence and it rubs off on all 492 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: of us. All Right, final thought here, with the off 493 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: season coming up, what are some of your plans are 494 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: You're gonna get away, do you get to work, You're 495 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: gonna do some work with a quarterback? How does that 496 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: work in your off season coming up? Yeah, I'm definitely 497 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: gonna spend some time with Trevor and Um, you know, 498 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: making sure we're we're still you know, keeping connected, you know, 499 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: going into training camp, and I'm gonna head back to 500 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: Arizona and pack up the rest of my stuff and 501 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: bring it on out here to Jacksonville and get ready 502 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: for an incredible season. You got all the stuff out there, 503 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: but the golf clubs made it here apparently right, both sets, 504 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: the golf clubs made it up. Yeah, yeah, both sets 505 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: made it out here. I don't travel without my golf clubs. 506 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: That's a good, good way to live life. So who's 507 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: the best golfer on the team? At least you've played 508 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: with so far? Oh, final talk. I mean, I haven't 509 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: played with a ton of guys. I'm sure the specialists 510 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: are always good. So sure of you know, Logan is 511 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: probably really good or you know, I I have Honestly, 512 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: it's it's usually me and Trevor that play UM and 513 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: I heard CJ's pretty good as well. You know, some 514 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: of the QBS backup quarterbacks a lot of times are 515 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: pretty good too. Yeah, so how's the starting quarterback. He's 516 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: getting there, he's getting there, but he's not there. I mean, 517 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: are any of us there? And we're never always Yeah. 518 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're an amateur golfer, are you are 519 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: you even there? So where are you going? It was 520 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: the question that that is I think we all I 521 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: want to act like we can make it on tour 522 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: at some point, but that's never gonna happen. So I 523 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: don't think we're ever gonna You're already talking yourself out 524 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: of it. I mean, you're already beat. Hope. Hopefully I 525 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: play football long enough to where that that's not even 526 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: a venture for me. Excellent point. Hey, Christen, thanks for 527 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: the time. Man, it's great to see you. I'm actually 528 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: to have you as part of the Jaguars. We're back 529 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: in a moment, we're just getting started. It's Jaguars Happy 530 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. What you want to 531 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: see from elite quarterbacks. One, when they're throwing, the ball 532 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: doesn't hit the ground. The ball doesn't hit the ground 533 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: because there's a level of execution and consistency between thrower 534 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: and catcher. It's easy, ball doesn't hit the ground. It 535 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: looks like they're in rhythm and scenk and I saw 536 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: that today. I saw what I would deem to be 537 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: a high level set of execution up practices and what 538 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: they're being asked to do from Trevor. I want to 539 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: see the ball in the strike zone consistently. When we 540 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: talk about the strike zone, the strike zone is torso 541 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: ball ways to hire inside the window. The receivers are 542 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: not having to work a lot to make catches, and 543 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: we're seeing that over Lawrence is very accurate. We're seeing 544 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: the ball come out with plenty of pace and those things. 545 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: And then the final part of it is when you 546 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: transition from doing individual to group stuff to then compete 547 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: against the team. Does Trevor know where to go with 548 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: the ball and doesn't know how to do it in 549 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: assigning fashion? I think he saw that even when they 550 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: ramped up in seven or seven and nine or seven 551 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: things against the defense, he looked like he had a 552 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: pretty clear idea where to go. That is Bucky Brooks 553 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: from the Huddle Up podcast earlier this week. Um Jaguars 554 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: dot Com. Imagine this. It's on the podcast link on 555 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: the team website or the official Jaguars podcast network. Welcome back, 556 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Our j P. Shadrick with you today 557 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: and Jeff Flagerman will be back, will be back with 558 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: us next week.

He's also a part of the 560 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: Huddle Up podcast and heard it replacement for Jeff Lockerman. 561 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: I tell you that, well, I'm We're glad you're here though, 562 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: thank you for taking the time for ship. Cheers to you, 563 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: and um, there's plenty to discuss this week. O T 564 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: a second week, you know, and then after the end 565 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: of this week there'll be six o T s down, 566 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: four officially left to go next week. Who knows about 567 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: the tenth win. A lot of times that's a either 568 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: a canceled or a team building or a one of 569 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: those days. But hey, that that comment there from Bucky 570 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: about just the cleanliness of the offense, right, that's that's 571 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: kind of what you're looking for your You don't want 572 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: the ball over the ground all over the place. And 573 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: I think you and I were kind of talking on 574 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: the practice field the other day on Tuesday about this. 575 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: It's really about sixteen. That's really what this thing boils 576 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: down to. It's about him and how he's performing and 577 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: feeling and the rest is great. But you don't have 578 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: to get a trigger in the football. Yeah, I mean, 579 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: you know, oversimplify it what you want right now. With Trevor, 580 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: they've chosen. I mean, he's a guy number one overall. 581 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: You choose he's the guy, and you better build everything 582 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: around him to succeed. And then you want to get 583 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: to a point where your roster is you know, similar, 584 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: better worse, been in the same range as other rosters, 585 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: and then that guy elevates you. Maybe that's not fair 586 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: to every game, but over the course of time, if 587 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: you're equal and you've got that guy behind center, then 588 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, games should start going your way 589 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: and you get to nine wins, ten wins, eleven wins. Um. 590 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: You know. So, because he was number one overall pick, 591 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: it's very much built around him. And then after five 592 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: years and that contract goes up, he better be able 593 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: to elevate everybody. Uh, I can't rightfully tell you JP 594 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: based on a summertime, no pad practice. If he's elevating people. Yet, 595 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: but as Buckey alluded to, the ball looks right coming 596 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: out of his hand. It is going in the proper 597 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: strikes own. You don't have a lot of guys reaching 598 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: for it in seven on seven where it's horrible passes 599 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: and you wonder what in the world this guy is doing. 600 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: I mean that could hurt players too, if they're like 601 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: reaching weird places and tweaks and this and that, and 602 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: it overall just hurts confidence efficiency. Right now, this time 603 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: of year, for a quarterback, it's supposed to be easy 604 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: a lot with with you know, especially in non seven 605 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: on seven, nine eleven. He looks comfortable. He looks, you know, 606 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: like he's not clouded with his head, he's not thinking 607 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: about other things. He looks like he's supposed to look, 608 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: which you know, after nine ten years of talking this 609 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: time of year, JP, you know, I always say at 610 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: this point, you can't prove anything about how you're going 611 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: to do next season, but you can look as good 612 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: as you can possibly look. And right now, Trevor Lawrence 613 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: in the offense, you know, to me, they look the 614 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: part so far. I don't know what that means when 615 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: not the had to go on but I'd rather be 616 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: saying that than oh, we just heard from Christian Kirk 617 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: a moment ago Jaguar's wide receivers in studio here and 618 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: our first real chance to sit down with him. Um 619 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: since he since really the press conference, I think and 620 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: uh kind of getting his head and it felt like 621 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: that press conference just wasn't his comfort zone. Like every 622 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: everything's going on, big contract everything. There was some outside 623 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: criticism all that, but just hearing his tone in the 624 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: last twenty minutes or so, he's locked in now and 625 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: it feels like he's in his element where he's I 626 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: don't know if he's running the wide receiver room per se. 627 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: There are some veteran guys in there, but he might 628 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: have that type of personality where he just does his 629 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: business and kind of people follow the way he goes 630 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: about it. And his skill set, obviously is something they 631 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: were searching out in free agency. His ability to to 632 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: learn and play different positions on the offense. And I 633 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: don't think that's just his role. I think that's a 634 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: lot of these receiver's roles as you've got to learn 635 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: these different spots, so play callers like Doug Peterson, the 636 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: O C and press Taylor can move you around and 637 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: match you up in different situations, and that's that's going 638 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: to be perfect. I think for Christian Kirk, everything you 639 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: hear about him is that he's a guy you want 640 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: your wide receiver room. He approaches everything the right way. 641 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: He's a pro if you will. Uh. That feels like 642 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: what they were going after in free agency and the draft. 643 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: He seems to define that. You know, at at five 644 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: eleven six ft, I can't sit here and rightfully say 645 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: that he's ever going to be a quote true X 646 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: outside I mean to WYD wide receiver guy that's going 647 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: to dominate opponents physically. But it does very much seem 648 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: like if their goal was to upgrade the wide receiver 649 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: position overall, create more talent, more ability to strain defenses, 650 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: a guy who can play everything that you want him 651 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: to play for you offensively at that receiver position. It 652 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: seems like they've got that guy. Uh. I've had a 653 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: lot of conversations about Christian Kirk with Pete Priscoe, who 654 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: covers the NFL Here covers the NFL and CBS Sports. 655 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: He's very tight with Sean Jefferson, who coach Christian Kirk. 656 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: Pete keeps telling me John Sean Jefferson believed really highly 657 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: in this guy, says he controlled the room in Arizona 658 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins Larry Fitzgerald as an influence. Uh. That 659 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: seems real to me, you know, and it seems to 660 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: line up. I talked I talked with Christian a day 661 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: or two ago. He's impressive in how he approaches things. 662 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: He's impressive and seems very professional. It seems like he's 663 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: going to fit into this. You know, I can never 664 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: when you first bring a guy in how good they're 665 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: going to be. You can get a bad feeling about 666 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: a guy. Though. You don't have that feeling about Christian Chirk. 667 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, you feeling no matter what happens, he's going 668 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 1: to figure out a way to contribute and make this 669 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: room better. I don't know how you look up to 670 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: a contract and free hd JP. I mean, so throwing 671 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: that out the window. What they wanted to do with 672 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: free agency is raise and get and get this thing better. 673 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: It seems like Christian Kirk did that eighteen million dollars better. 674 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how you do that, but I don't 675 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: think they care about that that much in terms of 676 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: how do you do that. I believe they're better with 677 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: this kid on the team. You get a base level 678 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: of player level better in this team and that helps that. 679 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: I mean, you just gotta have better players. Yeah, and 680 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: it cost money. It certainly seems like he fits that 681 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 1: bill to me. John Osan's with US Jaguars dot Com 682 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: senior writer. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on tint xl a 683 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: M and Jaguars dot Com and the Jaguars social media 684 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: channels Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Oh you go from one 685 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: pass catcher to another. That you caught up earlier this 686 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: week with John and Evan Ingram. Another free agency edition 687 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: that Jaguar spent some money, I think the most in 688 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: free agency this year around the National Football League. I 689 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: think a total of three million dollars over the contracts 690 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: were put out. That's that's a lot going out. A 691 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: lot of that on offense, of course, Christian Kirk got 692 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: the biggest bulk of that. Evan Ingram got a year's 693 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: share of that though, and a former first round pick, uh, 694 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, and another guy who you can move around. 695 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: He's not just a tied end off the right tackles, 696 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: hit blocking. He's out there and they can catch us 697 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: down the field wide, as we can see if you're 698 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: watching on Jaguars dot Com. He he did some with 699 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: New York with the Giants. That's the idea again here 700 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, I think, and again this time of year, 701 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: you're trying to project and you're trying to put in 702 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: perspective what in my all mean. I there's something about 703 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: the Ingram signing to me that seems overlooked. It seems 704 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: like there was so much focus on Christian Kirk and 705 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,439 Speaker 1: so much talk among fans and observes about what they 706 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: didn't do. Um. I think the way Ingram plays, I 707 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: don't know that there's going to be that much difference 708 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: in a lot of plays and how he's used as 709 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: it would be with a wide receiver. So there was 710 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 1: a lot of anks on the families. Well, they didn't 711 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: improve wide receiver enough. They didn't do this enough. You know, 712 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: Ingram's a tight end, but conceptually, if what you were 713 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: doing was trying to add elements around Trevor Lawrence, this 714 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: was a guy who did that. And again we're not 715 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: gonna try to give away too much with what they're 716 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: trying to do scheme wise, because they're not gonna show 717 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: us everything anyway. But this guy is moving around a 718 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: lot in the offense. Uh, he is going to be 719 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: a piece, And I can't imagine that there aren't a 720 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: lot of plays where he plays a role much like 721 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: that quote one wide receiver that everybody wanted in the 722 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: off season. So, um, he might be the key of 723 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: the free agent class and he might be the and 724 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: Kirk's gotta be good, don't get me wrong. But the 725 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: thing that pushes him over the top, thing that gives 726 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: him that tool that maybe people thought they didn't go get, 727 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,479 Speaker 1: is Angram And and he's I'll tell you, I don't 728 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: always say hey, go listen to the podcast. You know 729 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: Ingram is really an interesting guy to talk to. He 730 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: has a really good perspective on this. Um, you know, 731 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: he knows this is a huge chancer and the one 732 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 1: year deal is approved deal, one year, nine million dollar 733 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: contractor yeah, he's I have a good feeling about this 734 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: guy and his his ability to do what they're asking 735 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: to do in this game. He certainly thinks this is 736 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: going to be the year that pushes him into I 737 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: don't know what elite means, but but pushes him into 738 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: a place where he goes and makes a lot of money. Uh. 739 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: He thinks it's gonna be a year where he breaks out. 740 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: He loves Doug Peterson's offense. He's wanted to play for 741 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson tight end. We've been talking about it for 742 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: how many years? J V. We talked about it earlier. 743 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: I mean I listened to some guys Julius Thomas, Safarian Jenkins, 744 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: Tyler Eifford. I mean, I've tried so many different ways 745 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: to figure it out since Mercedes. It feels like this 746 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: group with Ingram Arnold ah manherts the more of a 747 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: block we can catch. It feels like Ingram and Arnold 748 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 1: hye to say it, but might be the guys at 749 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: this position that this team has been waiting for for 750 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: so long. And I laugh because we've been saying it 751 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: for so long that it'll fall on deaf ears. But 752 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: boy do they look different in O T A S. 753 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: Then that position has looked ever here. I'm excited to 754 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: hear the podcast because I haven't had a chance to 755 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 1: visit with Evan Ingram yet.

Criticism either way is constructive. No, 762 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: you're not. You're not buying into all about praise.

The ozone podcast on the official Jaguars 769 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: podcast network is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network, 770 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 1: Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour on a Thursday, and they 771 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: look outside on Jaguars dot Com and the Jaguars Social 772 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: channels at the footprint of the Football Performance Center. Well 773 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: earlier this week there was actual steel going up for 774 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: the first time it's been concrete foundation. Some walls on 775 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: the side are kind of there now being held up 776 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: by props on the side, but they actually put some 777 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:56,280 Speaker 1: steel beams across a couple of those today earlier this week. Actually, um, 778 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: so they're moving right along. It's hard work. I've been 779 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 1: some time out there, lived some stee JP. I thought 780 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: you looked stronger. Well, yeah, I mean it's in the morning. 781 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: That's what I did. That kind of drive down I 782 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: was that I was that's yeah. I was going to 783 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: mention something. You you look like you've been in the 784 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: weight room. Yeah, it's a task. It's a heavy lift, 785 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: as they said, it certainly is. That's why you leave 786 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: it with the professionals. And of course that is scheduled 787 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: to open training camp of three. And you know, we 788 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: we eat lunch here, um every day. Right, So after 789 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: lunch I come I walked down the ramp outside and 790 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: I just I stand out over the ramp overlooking this thing, 791 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: just to see what's going on, right, and just think 792 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: on it, and just think on it, you know, think 793 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: through it. See what's next. I wonder what beam is next? Right, alright, 794 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: wonder what concrete they have to pour next. But I 795 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: stood out there a few weeks ago and watched them 796 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: tear down the old cool Zone building. Talk him about 797 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: twenty minutes. I was gone, and here comes the beam. 798 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: The other day and um, I mean every day there's 799 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: something new going. It's it's it's fascinating. So the footprints 800 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: massive too, it's huge. It's it's been needed for a 801 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: long time. Uh, it's it's tough to win free agents 802 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: to maintain what you want in this league right now 803 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: if your facilities are not at least on par as 804 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: the league goes for it. That have to be the 805 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: best every year. But you know, there is a changing 806 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:37,280 Speaker 1: face of the league and it does reflect Uh. Players 807 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: love that kind of thing, as they should. It reflects 808 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: the direction of the organization. And I think this will 809 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: be a a a huge thing for player retention, image, etcetera. 810 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: It's been needed for a while and it's gonna be 811 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: cool to say. I mean, it's and then they've talked 812 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: about this, Mark Lamping has talked about it in the 813 00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,720 Speaker 1: public settings before the space inside the stadium was so, 814 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the original footprint and it's the smallest 815 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: footprint in the NFL. And then you've got coaches and 816 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: hallways and closets working, and the weight room spills out 817 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: onto the concourse. I mean, that's the smallest in the league. 818 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: The NFL um in was a different beast than it 819 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: is now. You didn't have nearly as much marketing, you 820 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 1: didn't have nearly as much forward facing. Our department didn't 821 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: exist that it was, well, there was a broadcast department, 822 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: but it was it was smaller only digital. Uh my 823 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: job didn't exist, which would be arguments to be made now. 824 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 1: But yeah, but I remember when I got to the 825 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: Colts in two thousand one, which a few years after that. 826 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: By the time I left there ten years later, that 827 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: place had had to add on to it's building if 828 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 1: I'm remembering right, at least once, perhaps twice. But they 829 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 1: were off site. They were not inside their stadium, so 830 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: there was room on their campus if you will to 831 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: grow here. Remember there's no inside the building. You're inside 832 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: the building. Um. So it's been very necessary, and you know, 833 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: I would anticipate this place being built for growth not 834 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: be an issue anymore. But it's been very necessary and 835 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: it will be state of the art. It's been, you know, 836 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 1: with something he's not updated for twenty seven years, it 837 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: gets out of date. This new place will in no 838 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: way be that. It's the first step in a line 839 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: of things to come around and to the stadium. Of course, 840 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 1: the Football Performance Center is number one to open the 841 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: shipyards project four seasons. The office building over there is 842 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 1: next on the docket, and I think they'll really start 843 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,439 Speaker 1: the summer to to make some true moves there. Um. 844 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: And then the state of you in the future will 845 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: will come up at some point down the line for 846 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: the latest. Checkout first Downtown Jack's dot Com and you'll 847 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: get the latest on the happenings around and with the 848 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 1: stadium project and everything around the stadium too. And there's 849 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 1: a lot, there's dust flying, there's roads closed, John, you 850 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: feel it every day. I remember a few weeks ago 851 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 1: you try to come in and you got twisted and 852 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: turned around. I couldn't find your way, but they were 853 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:30,359 Speaker 1: gonna let me in. I didn't make it. And you know, um, 854 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 1: people who watch and read these shows, note I was 855 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,399 Speaker 1: here ninety three when they got the team, and then 856 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: here when it first came about. Uh. I'm glad forever, 857 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 1: however much longer I have in this business. There is 858 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: a point of pride. It would be really cool to 859 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: see this place. Go up the performance center, to see 860 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: the stadium renovator, which at some point it's going to 861 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: be renovated, To see this environment down here. Uh, dramatically changed. 862 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how close the prototypes 863 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: will eventually be to what actually is. But considering where 864 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 1: it came from DP old MANU to dead, I can 865 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: remember ninety nine four, I was coming to the University 866 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 1: of Florida and yes, yes they were uh, and I 867 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 1: didn't I was living in Middleburgh. I was living in 868 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: sort of between Jacksonville and Games. Were working for the 869 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: Florida Times Union, so I didn't drive into town that much. 870 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: I remember one time driving across one of the bridges 871 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: and looking over and seeing and and people who were 872 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 1: in town in the nineties will remember this dynamic You 873 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 1: drove through and the stadium was basically up on a jacket, 874 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,400 Speaker 1: looked like because everything else had been taken away and 875 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,240 Speaker 1: it was just one of these pieces of the stadium 876 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: was up there. Um. And I remember going to the 877 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,359 Speaker 1: old Gator ball so so all that stuff to see 878 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: what it's gonna be now, to see that it's going 879 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: to be stable going forward and state of the yard 880 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: as it should be. Uh, it's a cool feeling for 881 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 1: this old sentimental type. Good for you, man, I might 882 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: even bring a tear to my eye. It looks like 883 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 1: there's no crying in baseball. No, there's not football Appurently, 884 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: let's go around the National Football League quickly. The Richmond 885 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 1: Times Dispatch in Virginia is reporting this week the Commanders 886 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,240 Speaker 1: or proposing a new stadium that would have just fifty 887 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 1: five thousand seats. Accordinated Pro Football Talk, FedEx Field had 888 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 1: the league's largest capacity from old Ford to thousand. That's 889 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: a big difference. Yeah, it's uh. I grew up a 890 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: huge fan of the Washington football team. UH two. I 891 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: think that they're going from is staggering and telling um 892 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, which back in the day, 893 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 1: the sellout streak was one of the staples of the 894 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: league at that place. And it's understandable why they built 895 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: it so large when they did it in UH O 896 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 1: four O four, because the thinking at that point is bigger, bigger, bigger. 897 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 1: It's telling that that stateium in that mark, even the 898 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:15,839 Speaker 1: team is struggled, is reducing to that's about the right 899 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: number for the NFL these days, and it's about bringing 900 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,280 Speaker 1: it back in line. It's more about premium seating, luxuries, etcetera. 901 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:27,359 Speaker 1: But these cavernous stadiums of old uh you know, it's 902 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: just too Big News nine and Denver reporting this week 903 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: the Broncos ownership bidding down to a second round coming 904 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,839 Speaker 1: up Monday. Four groups are in the hunt. The hope 905 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: is to have the transaction finalized by the start of 906 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: the regular season. And John, you can probably hit the 907 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 1: a t M for the price of five billion dollars 908 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: and get the team if you wanted it. Well, it's 909 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:55,359 Speaker 1: it's but you know that it shouldn't be overlooked these 910 00:48:55,360 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 1: old traditional franchises, which the Broncos are one of those, 911 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: one of the successful, one of the glamour teams. I 912 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: think they're maybe not quite in that old school, but 913 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 1: they're there. Don't change hands that often, so it's a 914 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: significant thing. Fully. Pat Bowling was a major owner in 915 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,839 Speaker 1: this league for a long time. We'll look forward to 916 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 1: the ozone podcast coming up. John, it'll be good. I'll 917 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 1: been listening to it.
