Speaker 1: Welcome to the j P. Shadwick Podcast. Today Friday, April

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: and it is the end of the busiest week of

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: the off season so far. The players were back in

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: the building this week, Paul was Lesnie retired, a couple

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars met the media to start the off

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: season program. Thursday was the State of the Franchise, and

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Friday the Jags football leadership held the annual pre draft

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: media luncheon. That's all that happened this week. Let's start

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: back on Monday. With the players back in the building

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: for the start of the off season program, it was

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: the perfect day to hon a retiring linebacker, Paul pas Lesnia,

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: team favorite and a fan favorite. The team room was

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: packed with media, business office representatives, former and current players,

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: and Jacks coaches all came to hear pause one final time.

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: Who better to introduce pazz Lesnie than current linebacker Telvin Smith,

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: who ended up stealing the show. We could talk about

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: the exactly reason and all of that, but the most

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: proud I've ever seen him is when he found out

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: he was becoming a father. That changed him and opened

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: him up a little bit more. To us and to everybody,

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: there are conversations that we've had that that would affect

22
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: me and that you all see when you see growth

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: in me. Forever and ever and ever. His his legacy

24
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: will live on through what he's done here. I love him,

25
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate him. I couldn't even it's nothing, man. Even

26
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: the words that I'm saying is the words came up

27
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: with somebody else that I'm using to describe my feelings

28
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: for you and the respect that I have for you. Mhm.

29
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: But just no, I've never met a better man, did you.

30
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: I've never had a better teammate, did you. I don't

31
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: think I've ever been able to say someone loved me

32
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: who I didn't do something for. Did you? And I

33
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: promise you, I promise you. I promise you I won't

34
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: let you down. And I feel like that last game

35
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: we let you down. So I diddicate this next season

36
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: to you, and I promise you. Quite A powerful introduction

37
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: from Telvin Smith for paulpas Leslie, two guys that became

38
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: incredibly close over the last few years. Once was Leslie

39
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: took the stage, it was pure pause, professional, thankful, humble,

40
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: but he made one thing clear about his retirement decision.

41
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this. I don't want to

42
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: retire right now. I want to I want to keep playing.

43
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: But what was more important for me was I didn't

44
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: want to go back out on the field and be

45
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: a step too slow or or miss a play. You

46
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: know that if I'm out on the field with Telvin

47
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: and Miles and there and they expect me to do

48
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: something and I missed that play because I held on

49
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: a year too long, I don't know how I how

50
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I look at them, you know what I mean, So

51
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: that that was unacceptable to me. And with that in

52
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: my mind and knowing that I don't know if it's

53
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, but I but there's a but it could be,

54
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: there's a higher probability, and I know that's right around

55
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the corner. And once it hits, it hits, it's it's

56
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: not there's you don't, you don't stop it. Um avoiding

57
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: that what was the was the most important thing, where

58
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: I said, it's just it's it's my time because I don't.

59
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I love the game too much and I

60
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: respected too much to not have to not be able

61
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: to physically do everything that I've done in years past.

62
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: And if that's a year too early, Uh, maybe I'm

63
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna regret it, but rather be a year too early

64
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: than than than one play too late. We haven't seen

65
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: the last of Pulp is Les day. I can guarantee

66
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: you that, as he said on Monday, finding something to

67
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: replace football will be difficult and as many former players say,

68
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: it is nearly impossible. On to Tuesday, and coming off

69
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: a run to the a f C Championship Game a

70
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: year ago, expectations are high around the Jaguars fan base

71
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: and yes, even in the building, quarterback Blake Portals understand

72
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the bar has been raised. You know, the expectations are different, um,

73
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: coming in years past. You know, even coming into last

74
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: year after the previous year three games or whatever we want,

75
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, with with Coughlin and coach Moron coming in,

76
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, the expectations had changed, but it was kind

77
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: of like, you know, we still just won three games

78
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: last year, Like how good can we possibly be? And

79
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: to be able to go through the season that we

80
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: went through last year, Um, the camp that we went

81
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: through and you know kind of see everything that happened.

82
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: I think, Um, I think guys are coming back this

83
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: year with a totally different attitude and kind of a

84
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: uh you know, a hunger to to rese final game

85
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: and go win for a defense that was among the

86
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: league's best in and has most of the pieces back

87
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: for this season. All Pro defensive lineman Clayer's Campbell knows

88
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: they cannot live in the past. Yeah, it's important. I mean, uh,

89
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the NFL, it's a lot of turnover

90
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: every year, you know, uh, and this year, obviously we

91
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: have some turnover, but for the most part, you know,

92
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: we're bringing a lot of people back and you know,

93
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: the culture staff standing the same. It's crucial, you know,

94
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: because now we have some continuity and that's always good

95
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: to have, you know, going to a new year. But

96
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: we still have to start back from ground zero and

97
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: kind of you know, develop it again, you know, build

98
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: the chemistry. You have to start back at ground zero

99
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: row and didn't build. You know, hopefully we can get

100
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: further along by the time the season starts. Then we

101
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: were last year, but you definitely have to start back

102
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: at zero. We group and then kind of just take

103
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: it one day at a time. But hopefully, you know,

104
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: with our leadership and a lot of guys returning, you know,

105
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: no one as system being familiar with everything, you know,

106
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: hopefully it goes a litt last the long so the

107
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: off season programmers underway. Let's clarify some of the rules

108
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: per the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Phase one, that's what we're

109
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: in now. It consists of the first two weeks and

110
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: it's limited to strength and conditioning and rehab only. Phase

111
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: two follows the next three weeks, when on field workouts

112
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: can include individual player instruction and drills and team practice

113
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: on separate basis, so no live contact or team offense

114
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: versus defensive drills. None of those are permitted. Phase three, though,

115
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: consists of the next four weeks that includes the ten

116
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: days of organized team activities and again no live contact

117
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: is permitted, but seven on seven, nine on seven, and

118
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: eleven on eleven drills are permitted. The mandatory mini camp

119
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: pre veenteran players comes during Phase three, and for the

120
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Jags this year, it's June twelve through fourteen. Now to

121
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: a cornerstone event of every offseason for the Jaguars, the

122
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: State of the Franchise. It was held Thursday in the

123
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: US a Sure Club East at EverBank Field. A packed

124
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: room of politicians, special guest sponsors in front office staff

125
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: watched in person and thousands watched along online. Jaguar's president

126
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: Mark Lamping took a look back at the last year,

127
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: laid out some challenges with this Jacksonville market, and made

128
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: announcements that will shape the franchise for the future. Some

129
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: of those announcements included ever Bank updating the name of

130
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: the stadium to t I A A Bank Field, a

131
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: change set to take place officially June four. Camp Grunt

132
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,280

133
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: the stadium on game days, and yes, Pet Paradise will

134
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: have the first ever dog park in an NFL stadium

135
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: that's in the south end zone deck. Most Jags fans,

136
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: they'll wanted to see and react to the updated uniforms.

137
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: That was the final presentation on Thursday, and in our

138
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: postgame show, If you Will, Jacks owner's shot con explain

139
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: the process of getting to this point. I mean, I

140
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: love them. I think especially with the season we have,

141
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: it really defines the new team, simple, powerful, agile, winning.

142
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: We started looking at it right after Tom got here. Uh,

143
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: and what do we have to do? It's a new

144
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: beginning for us and how did we define it? And

145
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: obviously Tom is a very classic guy, old fashion, old

146
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: school which includes winning and uh, so you know, we

147
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: articulated to division and I had obviously Nike work with us,

148
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: uh to come up with something we think to find

149
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: the new team. Another part of the presentation included artists

150
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: renderings of the sports complex and with the Jaguars in

151
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: vision for the future of the area around the stadium.

152
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: Lamping announced Baltimore based Cornish Companies as the developer for

153
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: what will be a two point five billion dollar investment.

154
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: Lots of questions are still to be answered, but for

155
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,840
