00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,640

00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockherman will join us free agency frenzy. The Jaguars

8
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: have signed seven new players, many of them were in

9
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: the building today, and one of them will join us

10
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: on set at four fifteen here live. It's Brandon shuff,

11
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: the new guard for the Jaguars, five time Pro bowler,

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: first team All Pro back in he'll join us in

13
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes here on Jaguars Happy Hour. We'll hear

14
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: some highlights from the press conferences today here at t

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: i A. Bankfield. We'll go around the National Football League.

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Flackman joins us now in LUGS. The Jaguars just

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: paid out one D fifty five million guaranteed dollars among

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: the big seven signings. How about that a lot of money,

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of case. Uh, And that's Uh. I hate

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: to say this, but I mean that's what you do

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: when you haven't essentially been really good at what the

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: lifeblood of the franchise is, which is drafting and uh.

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: And it was exactly what this organization needed to do

24
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: because at some point you need to change the culture.

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: And part of changing the culture, it's not so much

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: about mindset. Is it about getting better players. And in

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: free agency, getting better players cost you money. That's just

28
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: the reality of it. And I think they did a

29
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: very good job of making sure that they addressed positions

30
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: that they needed to address. Did they overpay, Yes, that's

31
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: what you do in free agency. That's just the way

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: it is. But the one thing I will say about

33
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: the contractual status of all of these guys, for the

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: most part, after two years, the risk is no longer. Uh.

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: Most of these deals are two year deals. Would you

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: like to see the players complete the deals? Yes, because

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: that means that the player is playing to the level

38
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: of the contract, and that's what you want to see.

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: But if something doesn't work out, then it's not like

40
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: you are gonna be stuck with like an Ezekiel Elliott

41
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys right now, who has a guaranteed contract

42
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: that Ezekiel Elliott has not played to that level last

43
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: year and is not expected to pay play to that

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: level this year. So from that standpoint, I like it.

45
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: And around about that time is when hopefully, if things

46
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: go well, Trevor Lawrence's contract will start coming back around,

47
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: and that you're kind of looking at. That gives you

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: the luxury years down the line. And that gives you

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: the luxury because you have a quarterback on a rookie contract.

50
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: You hope that the quarterback gets to the point where

51
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you have to make tough decisions and you're gonna have

52
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: to pay him fifty sixty million a year, you know,

53
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: which is I think that's essentially that's the going rate.

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Aaron Rodgers new deal. I think

55
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: I think the new money averages sixty two million dollars

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: a year. And so let's look down the road four

57
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: years from now, that's what the going rate is. It's

58
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: going to be at least that because the captain theory

59
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: could keep growing, and a theory when has it ever

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: gone down with the action of it just keeps going

61
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: up and up and up. So you have that luxury

62
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: um and and I like the fact that they have

63
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: addressed both sides the ball. Most of the guys are,

64
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, because Schuff is a little older. But for

65
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: the most part, these guys are young. And when I

66
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: say young, that they're they're approaching or are in their prime.

67
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: And that's what you want in the agent market. Can

68
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: you sprinkle in guys that might be a little bit older,

69
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: a little longer in the tooth, Sure, absolutely, but those

70
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: guys you typically want to try to acquire on shorter deals.

71
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: But but I like the list. I love the addition

72
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: of surf a J. Cann. I wish him the best

73
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: of luck with the Houston Texans is an upgrade, okay,

74
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: fact it will also help your right tackle position, whoever

75
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: that ends up being instead yesterday. They still have confidence

76
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: in Jowan Taylor there well, and I think the competition

77
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: needs to exist for Juan Taylor. I mean, let's not

78
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: sugarcoat it. Joan Taylor. I think it was a high

79
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: pick for a reason, and I still think with with

80
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: better coaching, he can become better. It's not like he's

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: done improving, But competition makes everybody better, even me and

82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: you JP. We compete all the time, absolutely, and I

83
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: win most of those, Yeah, pretty much. I don't know

84
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: how with a microphone you win all the time. I'm

85
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: not gonna argue that. So let's go through a Christian

86
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: Kirk and let me just say something about him, because

87
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: he's kind of he's kind of that cherry on the

88
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: top of this of this free agent class, thirty seven

89
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: million guaranteed to him, and that's the most money out

90
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: of all of these guys. There's been a lot of

91
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: little criticism online about that, which that happens because criticism

92
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: happens every year when you start talking about free agent

93
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: classes and you talk about guys that may not be

94
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: at the top of their position, but when they hit

95
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: free agency, they set the new market. And for wide

96
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: receivers around the league that may be upset that they

97
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: may be better than Christian Kirk, that are upset, wait

98
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: a minute, hey, guys, slow down, because the Christian Kirks

99
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: of the National Football League are good for your business

100
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: because if you are a better wide receiver than him,

101
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: when you do get to the opportunity to be on

102
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: the market, your price. We'll start at where Christian Kirk

103
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: ended up. I'm gonna say you better send him a

104
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: fruit basket or something. A thank you, Carter. But I

105
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: remember preparing for the Arizona Cardinals game and it was

106
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: a J Green and DeAndre Hopkins and fits and who

107
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald Fair Larry Fitzgerald, who you know obviously wasn't

108
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: it was not the same player that he was younger,

109
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: But Christian Kirk when you watch the film Great Weapon,

110
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: and I believe in in my opinion, he was the

111
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: most explosive player that they had in the wide receiving

112
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: corps with the Arizona Cardinals. And I think it's gonna

113
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: be exciting to watch to see where they play him.

114
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: And I know that Doug Peterson talked about they're gonna

115
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: play him anywhere and everywhere, depending on matchups, not just

116
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: a slot. And that's a good thing. And the more

117
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: weapons you have, the better off you are. Let's hear

118
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: from Christian Kirk today. He spoke with the media here

119
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: at t I a bank field and a lot of

120
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: thanks to go around. I just wanted to say, um,

121
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, thank you to Mr Cohn, Mr Baky, Coach

122
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: Peterson and the Jaxonville Jaguars organization and for um giving

123
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: me the opportunity to be here. I'm super excited to

124
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: get to work, and it just feels great to be,

125
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, a part of an organization that has shown

126
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: so much interest in you know, my potential, my ability

127
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: to be able to come here and uh, you know,

128
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: be a part of this organization. So I just want

129
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: to say that I'm ready to get to work. And

130
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: not the only receiver signed by the Jaguars, of course.

131
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Zay Jones comes in from the Las Vegas Raiders. He's

132
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: out of East Carolina. Originally was with the Bills of

133
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: a second round pick, and then moved over to the

134
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders and then went on the move to Las

135
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: Vegas with the organization as well. He played in that

136
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: seventeen playoff game, the wild Card game here in Jacksonville

137
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: with the Bills. That was the last time he stepped

138
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: foot in the stadium until today in fact, and then

139
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: of course played the Jaguars in the Raiders final game

140
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: in Oakland. The Jaguars won that game as well. But

141
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: we heard from za Jones today as well and what

142
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: he could bring in, what the culture could be here

143
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I believe in it, um. I think it's

144
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: a I've talked to some other players that have been

145
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: with with Doug and these guys, and they've told me

146
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: a little bit about the offense and like how it

147
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: works and and schematically and things like that, but I

148
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: just had to take their word for it, do my

149
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: own research and things like that. But um, it's a

150
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: great team. Young quarterback who who to me looks very

151
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: very promising and very good and I believe in and

152
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, I want to be a part of something

153
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: that's that's building towards the future. And ultimately, yeah, just

154
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: my heart, I was like, Yeah, this is the place

155
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: I want to go. Yeah, so Z Jones coming in,

156
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: what do you like about his game? I think he

157
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: adds competition to that positional group and that's what you needed.

158
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: And I know that, Uh, there's a lot of confidence

159
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: in the guys that were already in that room as

160
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: far as the younger players that they have and can

161
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: they continue to develop And that's great, and but you

162
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: can't be overconfident in the room to the point where

163
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: you stop adding guys to a room. And I think

164
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: the the running back room, to give you another example,

165
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: they didn't address it in free agency, but I really

166
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: believe that that's going to be addressed in the draft

167
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: because you feel good about the two guys that you have,

168
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: but they're coming off of injuries. And and again, you

169
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: can't ever stop adding to the room. Competition makes everybody better.

170
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's a Jones is gonna come in.

171
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna compete. He's got a little bit more size

172
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: than Christian Kirk, which a lot of people might find

173
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: that surprising. And uh, and he's a very fast guy.

174
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: So the faster players, the more speed that you can

175
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: get on the field for a young quarterback, the better

176
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: off that you're gonna be. And I think it's gonna

177
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: be fun to watch the competition at wide receiver because

178
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: think about it now, Uh, there's a lot of guys

179
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: that are gonna be fighting for one ball. There's only

180
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: one ball that they play with on the field, right,

181
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: and you're throwing the tight ends in the mix as well. Yeah.

182
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, you know, comes from the Giants, was widely

183
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: thought to be one of these kind of the new

184
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: tight ends. And and look, it's it's no uh secret

185
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: that the Giants have had quarterback issues ever since the

186
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: departure of Eli Manning. They tried to address it with

187
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. It hasn't quite worked out yet. And but

188
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: yet Evan Ingram still has caught a lot of balls,

189
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: and with an offense and a football team that hasn't

190
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: been very good, and I, uh, the one thing about

191
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: him I will say is that he's not a real

192
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: big guy. He's a move tight end. Okay, he's a

193
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: he's a true move tight end. But you you pair

194
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: him with Dan Arnold and now you have two tight

195
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: ends that are gonna have and create interesting matchups for

196
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: defenses to contend with. I look forward to watching that.

197
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment. Brandon Schuff one of

198
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: the other offensive editions, I would say, one of the

199
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: biggest offensive editions. This guy's massive physically. Yes, he's gonna

200
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: join us here in studio. Yeah, he's a he's a

201
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: good football player. He's been real steady, hurt a little

202
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: bit the last couple of years. But when he is,

203
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he is, uh by far, I think

204
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: one of the best right guards in football. We'll get

205
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: in his head when we come back here in studio

206
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,359
Speaker 1: a little later. We'll hear more highlights from the defensive

207
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: free agents added by the Jaguars. We are often running.

208
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. It's

209
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: hitting in the right direction, and it's something that we

210
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: had to you know, take a strong, hard look at,

211
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, obviously to protect the quarterback, protect Trevor and

212
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: and and not so much in the passing game, but

213
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: also the ability to run the football. You know, we

214
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: feel like the running back room when healthy is is

215
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: a dynamic group. We feel like the tight ends are

216
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: a dynamic group and they're all part of the run game,

217
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: you know as well. So you know, we took some

218
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: really good, uh steps forward in that direction, um with

219
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: with keeping keeping can Cam and and obviously getting getting

220
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, Brandon Schriff and you got Juwan, you got

221
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: Walker Little mean, we've got guys shot Lee back. So

222
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: you know there's guys there now that we're putting the

223
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: pieces together and we still have, you know, the ability

224
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: in the draft to to add some more depth and

225
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: add some more value at that position. That is Jaguar's

226
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson on Jack's Drive Time yesterday and

227

247
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: you actually ever got into free agency as a as

248
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: a pro What what was the experience like for you? Uh?

249
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, I worked out on let's see Monday, and uh,

250
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: my agent called me a couple of times and uh,

251
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: he said, I'll do all the negotiating and just just

252
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: sit by your phone and he says, we agreed the terms. Congratulations,

254
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: it's just all of a sudden. I mean back in

255
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: the day, there used to be, uh, at least a

256
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a period of time where they'd fly

257
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: in and they'd wine and dine you. And nowadays it's

258
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: like like the draft. You know, that's what you have

259
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: your you know, your not your official visits, but your visits,

260
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: and you go wine and dine with the coaches and

261
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,800

263
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: So we we Brandon and I were talking kind of

264
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,280

Speaker 1: event up in Iowa which is called Aiming for a Cure,

266
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: which I actually have done a couple of different times.

267
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: And we had a mutual friend who recently passed away,

268
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: Mr Tim Anderson of Mossy Oak, and UH and Brandon

269
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: played with the Redskins. I grew up in Stirling in Virginia,

270
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: which growing up as a kid, that's where the Redskins

271
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: training facility was located at. Well, now it's in Ashbourne, Virginia,

272
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: which is where I lived at for a period of

273
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: time when I was playing with the Jet So we

274
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a connection there. But how

275
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: is your time in Washington? That was great? You know,

276
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: I met a lot of great people. I got coached

277
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: by a lot of great coaches, and those are you know,

278
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: members that are gonna last forever for me. So, you know,

279
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: taking a small kid out of Iowa to go to

280
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: big d C, you know, I wouldn't having any other way.

281
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: So I appreciate everybody that, you know, made an impact

282
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: on my life. All the coaches. UH coach Gruden is

283
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: one that drafted me, Coach Callahan, UH coach Phil Uh,

284
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Coach Rivera coach, matsco coach Travelle. You know, I had

285
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: some amazing coaches, So I'm grateful for for all of them.

286
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson yesterday talked about when when they're signing you,

287
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: they wanted you in here as part of this culture build.

288
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: What does that mean to you? A culture build? I

289
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: mean I spoke about on a little bit earlier. I

290
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: think it's just just doing it everything the right way. Um,

291
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think, uh, you know, my dad instilled

292
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: that in me. And then coming into Iowa, you know,

293
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: coach Farren's uh, coach Doyle was a strength coach and

294
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: then coach Ray was the assistant strength coach there Reese

295
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: Morrigan just to laid the foundation on how to be

296
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: a man and how to practice and how to how

297
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: to conduct yourself inside and outside of football. Um. So

298
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: I think it's just a compliment that you're doing everything

299
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: the right way and people see that. So, you know,

300
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: that's one of the goals that I've ever had in

301
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: my life is to just um lead the way that

302
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: um people can look up to you and you know,

303
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: just kind of you're doing the right thing, so they

304
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And and part of being a leader is

305
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: wearing the seat captain of a football team. And you

306
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: were a captain with the Redskins. How many years were

307
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: you were captain for the Redskins? And were you a

308
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: captain in Iowa? Uh? Three years? And then I don't

309
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: think they had captains. I think they just picked one.

310
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: But yes, I was, yes, Iowa. Yeah, coach appointed game

311
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: day captains. I hate when they do that. Coffin used

312
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: to do that here in early days. He'd picked captains.

313
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: He would never actually have anybody a name captare, but whatever,

314
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: But congratulations on the contract, Congratulations on being a Jaguar.

315
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: And uh, I know that the first time that I

316
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: got to free agency was in about your seven and

317
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: it's different. You know, you know, you're you're seven for

318
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: you and so it's, uh, it's fun and it's exciting.

319
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: And I think the one thing that it did for

320
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: me and and I don't know if you need the

321
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: same thing or not, but it kind of re energized

322
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: me as a player because where I came from, we

323
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: didn't win a lot. And uh, and I know you

324
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: have the struggles in Washington, but also now the new environment,

325
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: the new teammates might kind of make things new and

326
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: fun again, right, you know. I had, like I said,

327
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,760

Speaker 1: parts of the season, because that's where you get to

332
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,919

00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,080

408
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: get moved down here now. You gotta establish residency so

409
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: you can take advantage of this tax free state that

410
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: we live in here on the state of Florida. So

411
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: from from a financial standpoint, don't waste any time not

412
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: get your license switched over and get your residence established.

413
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: And I gotta go save that money, Brandon, that's right,

414
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: trying to guide See you're good. Yeah, you've done this

415
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: time or two before. If you established residents, you can't

416
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: hunt in Iowa because I'm not a resident Iowa. That's

417
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: the one thing that's crazy and mean him can have

418
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: a whole conversation about this that even if you're a

419
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: landowner in Iowa, if you don't live in that state,

420
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: that doesn't guarantee hunt in America. How about that? Yeah?

421
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: Did not know that? Yeah? Which is crazy? Which Iowa

422
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: keeps out the riff raffle like Logoman coming up there

423
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: and taking all your deer. Iowa and Illinois are probably

424
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: the two biggest deer hunting states for guys that are

425
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: just I mean, just crazy outdoors. But like I get

426
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: what you're saying. That's all right, so plenty of time

439
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: the defensive side, we were able to do that, get

440
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: more explosive, get more playmakers on the offensive side, get

441
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: bigger and more physical upfront were and we felt we

442
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: were able to address those needs. As General manager Trent

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

461
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: be I mean, true professionals and and that they do

462
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: things the right way. And and look, they just don't

463
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: give out sees willy nilly in the National Football League

464
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: and so at uh, that's the kind of character guy

465
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: that you want to have when you are when you

466
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: are trying to change the direction of a franchise. He's

467
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: a really good football player. He is he's athletic. Then

468
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: he's more athletic than a lot of guards. And I

469
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: think that's the one thing that stands out about the

470
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: way he plays. And that's one of the reasons why

471
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: he's been receiving the accolades as far as the Pro Bowls,

472
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: you all pros and things of that nature, because he

473
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: is very athletic. But he's athletic and he's strong. So

474
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player. He definitely helps his

475
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: football team. And for a for a team that has

476
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: a young quarterback that's gonna want to establish the running

477
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: game a little bit to help a young quarterback and

478
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: then also protect a young quarterback. Brendon Sheriff is the

479
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: guy that you want and uh and I'm excited to

480
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: have him because that's the type of guy that you

481
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: need to add to this offense. You gotta protect your

482
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: quarterback and you gotta make things easier on him by

483
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: running the football. Let's stay on the offensive line. There

484
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: was some news yesterday as Trent Bawky and Doug Peterson

485
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: met with the writers and the media here at t

486
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: i A bank Field and he was they were asked

487
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: about Cam Robinson. He's had the franchise tag placed on him,

488
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: he's not signed the tender, but news came out yesterday

489
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: that they are working on a long term deal with

490
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson. At left tackle. They still have confidence in

491
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 1: Jowan Taylor. We mentioned that earlier. At right tackle they

492
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: got Walker Little who can move around and do some things.

493
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: So the future and what's gonna happen with Brandon Lender

494
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: came up yesterday as well, because he has no dead

495
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: money on his contract and in the last year of

496
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: his deal coming up nine and a half million dollars.

497
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: Could they be working through something. It sounds like they

498
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: might be. So what does this thing look like at

499
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Well, I was there yesterday

500
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: and so I got to hear all the different Yeah,

501
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: I was there, and so I got to hear all

502
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: the comments, and and uh, I thought the story that

503
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: in the comments that general manager Trent Ballky made about

504
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson, I think we're very revealing. And he talked about, hey, look,

505
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: you know, Cam Robinson is a guy who loves football.

506
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's out there in practice and he might

507
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: turn an ankle. He goes and tapes it up and

508
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: then he gets right back in. He doesn't miss any

509
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: anything in practice. Well okay, Well then he he tears

510
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: a ligament tenant his thumb and he tapes it up

511
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: and he and he finishes done miss any time. I mean,

512
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: that's yeah, That's the one thing I've always said about Cam.

513
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: I love the way he plays the game and he

514
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: and he finishes and everything. Sometimes he he'd like to

515
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: have him with his footwork be more lean at the

516
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: left side. I still believe that he would be a

517
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: phenomenal right tackle just because he has that attitude. But

518
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: where is he at as far as left tackles? Um,

519
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: he's probably middle of the road. Okay, middle of the

520
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: road in the National Football League? Would you like to

521
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: be able to lock up the middle of road type player. Look,

522
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: you can't have everybody that's you know, top five at

523
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: their position in the National Football League. But if somebody's

524
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: not in the top five, you want to make sure

525
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: that whoever that person is has other traits that are

526
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: highly desirable. Toughness, loves ball, physical finishes, and that's what

527
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson has. And and I'm gonna say this again

528
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: because I believe that there are some players on this

529
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: offensive line because I said it last year and I

530
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: said it the year before, but I did not see

531
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot of improvement. I still believe that this offensive

532
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: line is not old enough to to lose the improvement

533
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: from year to year. In other words, I think, with

534
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: the proper coaching, Cam Robin sin can be better than

535
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: just a middle of the road left tackle, which is fine.

536
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: I believe that right tackle Jowan Taylor can be better,

537
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: but I think he needs more competition. Look, competition makes

538
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: everybody better, bringing more competition for everybody, and that helps

539
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: solve a lot of the problems and it makes players

540
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: more coachable. But but yeah, the comments about Cam Robinson,

541
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: the backing of Juwan Taylor and and that backing was

542
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: very firm and it wasn't wavering and uh, but I

543
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: meant my opinion is is that you've got to create

544
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: competition on that offensive line, and I think at right

545
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: tackle it would be good. I think Linder will. They'll

546
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: figure something out longer with him. Well, they said they're

547
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: still working through that. Okay. The the salary that he

548
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: was projected to receive this year was nine ish million. Okay.

549
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: The reality is is that Brandon has been hurt for

550
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: the last number of years. He's had one complete season

551
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: in last four or five years. What does that tell

552
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: you availability supersedes ability every time, and when a player

553
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: can't be available on a every week basis that that

554
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: lowers your value. That's a fact that cannot be disputed.

555
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: So is there a comfortable range that the team would

556
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: like to bring Brandon Lender back at? Sure? Sure? And

557
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, Brandon wears the C two. Okay.

558
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Lender is the kind of guy that you want

559
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: to keep on a on a football team because two reasons. One,

560
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: he's a good guy and he does things the right

561
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: way and he's a good football player when he's on

562
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: the field. Okay, so there's I hope that there is

563
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: a way that they can find a common ground because

564
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: if they can't find a common ground here, there's a

565
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: couple options for Brandon. One is is that he goes

566
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: to another team. Brandon loves Jacksonville. Okay, he loves the outdoors,

567
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: he loves this football team. He's been committed to this

568
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: football team. He was completely bawled in every year and

569
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: has given everything is all and so he either continues

570
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: to play for this team, goes and plays for another team,

571
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: or he retires. I don't know if that's even an

572
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: option for him, but I hope that they can find

573
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: a way to make it work because when he's on

574
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: the field, he's a good football player. This is Jaguars

575
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: Happy are We continue with the recap of the free

576
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: agent signings for the Jacksonville Jaguars. A number of them

577
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: were in the building today signing the contract, making the rounds,

578
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: taking the tour, meeting with the media. Let's move to

579
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football now and to hear

580
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: from some of these guys today. And we got to

581
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: hear from Foyer A Louikon who is a linebacker from

582
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons and he led the league in tackles

583
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: last year hundred ninety three tackles a season ago. What

584
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: does he bring to this Jaguar his defense. I think

585
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of upside to this organization. Uh, at

586
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day, these guys, you know, definitely

587
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: put a lot of trust in me. Um. That's why

588
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: they came in and got me in free agency. And

589
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: I just want to bring it. You know. I definitely

590
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: worked hard to definitely bring a lot of you know,

591
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: intelligence and um to the defense and really just trying

592
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: to bring people along with me is what I talked

593
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: about a lot today with some of the coaches. So

594
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: get everybody on that kind of hard and hard work

595
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: and mentality kind of have you know, some great chip

596
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: on his shoulder and being able to grind and work

597
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: to get better every day. Uh, get more wins here.

598
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: Foyer Litkin was a sixth round pick, but Yale guy

599
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: out of Yale. Yes, that's football powerhouse of Yale. And

600
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: then worked his way up. He was, like he said today,

601
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: he was kind of a safety, kind of a slot

602
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: coverage type guy, and then moved over to linebacker once

603
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: he got in the NFL. And now he's built his

604
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: way up into into this contract twenty eight million guaranteed

605
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: dollars coming for years away. But led the league in

606
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: tackles a year ago. Miles Jack has gone. Now that

607
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: saved the Jacks. Remember the conversation we had a few

608
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We're comparing Damien Wilson's stats to Miles jack stats.

609
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: Remember when we talked about that, and I said, look, said,

610
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: the reality is is that Miles Jack is making a

611
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: ton of money, whereas Damien Wilson came in here on

612
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: a one year, a couple million dollar contract, and so

613
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: something's got to give, right, Well, Jack goes and uh,

614
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: and then you bring in Lucan and and he's a

615
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: good football player and a lot of those categories that

616
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: we talked about that Miles didn't fill, the tackles for losses,

617
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: the sacks, the passes defense. Over the last two years,

618
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: this young man has been able to to really put

619
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: some serious numbers up in those categories, and the number

620
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: of tackles that he makes. I mean, he's active as

621
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: anybody at the position in the league. And and I think,

622
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: now you you've got to start, Okay, do do you

623
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 1: fill the other position? Is there a chance that they

624
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: could bring a Damien Wilson back. Is there a chance

625
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: that they fill that position from the current room and

626
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: that's under contract, or do they look in the draft too,

627
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: maybe add to that position in the draft. And but

628
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: but they definitely need more than just one linebacker obviously

629
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: because this is a two linebacker game, especially when when

630
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: you get the nickel, you gotta have two guys that

631
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: can really play in space. But interesting that, don't forget

632
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: Dylan Moses. Either he's healthy and ready to go, they say, yeah,

633
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: and that's that's uh, you know, basically one year completely

634
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: away from football, he's got a serious knee injury. Is

635
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: that's something that is going to be problematic? Is uh

636
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: on a on an every year type of thing? I

637
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, that's a it's a great question,

638
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: JP because Dylan Moses was supposedly a first round talent

639
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: that obviously didn't get drafted in the first round because

640
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: of injury concerns. Can can he be that type of

641
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: a guy that would surprise you. That'd be awesome. Look,

642
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm all, I'm all four you got undrafted guys and

643
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: you get six round picks and start turning into some

644
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: really good football player for an organization. That's awesome. But

645
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: because you know, the reality is to look at some

646
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: of these free agents that you're signing. Okay lu Khan

647
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: is a six round pick. Thought Okasi was a six

648
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: round pick, and then Darius Williams was an undrafted guy.

649
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: You know, So it would be great if you could

650
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: find some of those guys right on your own because then, man,

651
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: you talk about taking your football team to the next

652
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: level because, as I've said before, the draft and finding

653
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: young talent, that's the lifeblood of every franchise. Let's hear

654
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: from fully Fighterkasi from the New York Jets, another former

655
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: six round pick. He's out of Yukon, though noted run stopper,

656
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: one of eight players with fifteen or more run stuffs

657
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: and fifteen or more quarterback pressures last season alone. Some

658
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: big names on that list as well, and earlier today,

659
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: fully on why he chose Jacksonville really just came down

660
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: to someone believing in me. Um, someone saw something in me,

661
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: They saw something about my ability, um, and it took

662
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: a chance on me. And I'm always for people that

663
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: just just gives me a chance, because all you need

664
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: is one person to believe you. And that's what made

665
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 1: me come here. It's a blessing. You know. You put

666
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: on a lot of time and effort and little blood,

667
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: sweat and terris to get to this point. And you know,

668
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: I can only thank God for it. But um, now

669
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 1: that I'm here, at this point, it's all about what

670
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: more could I do? You know? I mean, how much

671
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: more could we inspire each other? How much more can

672
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: we motivate one another fully? Fadokasi was a sixth round

673
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: draft pick. His rookie season, he was the inactive guy

674
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: most of the season. He played in like one game

675
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: for the Jets, and as the years went on, found

676
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: his way into a role there and found a way

677
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: into that as you mentioned, longs that see on his

678
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: chest that we just saw if you're watching on Jaguars

679
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: dot com. And now a big free agent contract. Yeah

680
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: that's uh yeah, there there's a trend here, right, yes, Okay, absolutely,

681
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: When when coach and general manager emphasize and stress all

682
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: about culture, change. Then you you do that with people

683
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: that can do that. And again, the guy that wore

684
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: the sea on his chest in New York, Fatakasi, captain

685
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: of the New York Jets football team. Good football player,

686
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: plays hard, plays every down hard. Is he a great

687
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: pass rusher? No? Is he a pocket pusher? Absolutely this

688
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: football team. At some point you gotta find dominant pass rushers.

689
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: Many people are talking about Aton Hutchinson, the first overall pick.

690
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: Could he be the guy? You know that's we'll have

691
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: to wait and find out. I mean everything kind of

692
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: leaning towards that way when you're kind of seeing what

693
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: they've done in free agency. But at the same token,

694
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: the outside edge position is not what needs to just

695
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: be addressed. Also, the three technique interior pass rusher. If

696
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: you can try to find a way to add an

697
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: another guy on the inside and to help with the

698
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: inside push, I think because Fakasi is gonna give you

699
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: some good push, But do you have somebody that can

700
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: give you numbers from the inside. And again, you've got

701
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: twelve draft picks coming up to be able to address

702
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: some of those positional needs as well, so you don't

703
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: have to do it all in free agency. But but

704
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: I like the acquisition of Podokos and I remembered him

705
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: very well because he was a team captain with the

706
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: Jets and he was one of the most challenging names

707
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: to pronounce when you start doing your game boards. He's

708
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I remembered his name because I was like, Okay,

709
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: how are we gonna pronounce this one? I know, Basselli's

710
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna butcher it. Okay, but let me make sure that

711
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: I get it right. But I remember the Podokosi. I

712
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: was like Ahadi. And he has a brother who was

713
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: at Rutgers and did actually tapped out of the Gator

714
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: Bowl to get ready for the NFL Draft, outside linebacker

715
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: type who was living with him in Jersey and the

716
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: whole thing. So we'll see if he makes it the NFL.

717
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: Uh In the NFL Draft coming up. One other name

718
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: signed or not signed yet agreed to terms. He's apparently

719
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: arriving tomorrow to sign and it is Jacksonville area native

720
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: cornerback Darius Williams out of Creekside High School in St.

721
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: John's And this guy's story is incredible. He's twenty nine

722
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: years old, he went to Creekside, of course, was at

723
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: you A B. They canceled the program, had to come

724
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: back home. Was working like an ace hardware for a

725
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: little while, went to f S c J, took some

726
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: classes U A B S program, came back. He went

727
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: back to Birmingham and played for the Blazers and was

728
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: an undrafted player. Worked his way up and moved over

729
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: to the RAM. He was picked up by the Ravens

730
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: right out after the draft. They cut him in October.

731
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: He went to the Rams for the last four years

732
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: and opposite Jalen Ramsey. He gets a lot of action

733
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: in l A and all of a sudden he's coming

734
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: back home, which is an amazing story of how his

735
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: career took the scenic route to get here. And I

736
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: I think that guys that have that kind of a story,

737
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: I think are special because the guys that have a

738
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: story like that develop a work ethic that can be

739
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: incomparable to anybody else because they had to pay their dues,

740
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: they had to work the extra hours to be able

741
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: to get to where they are, and I think that's

742
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: really unique. And when when you add guys to a

743
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: locker room that that have had that kind of traveled road,

744
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: I think it makes your locker room better because that

745
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 1: kind of work ethic can rub off on other guys.

746
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: And I've always said this and that you know, sometimes

747
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: you find the first round picks that have incredible work

748
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: ethics and there there's a reason why they were a

749
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: first round pick. And then there are others that are

750
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: first round picks because they have just a God given ability.

751
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: God has blessed them with incredible traits. And then you

752
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: have the guys that have had to work and work

753
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: and work in some reason, and some of them had

754
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: to work and work and work because they were late bloomers,

755
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: and those are the ones that developed the better work ethic.

756
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: And then eventually the talent started to show and started

757
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: to develop. And I think that's a great story, and

758
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: I think that that kind of a guy that you

759
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: can add to the locker room. Again, we talked about

760
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: this culture change. Okay, I keep using that word because

761
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: that that means something for this year. I mean, that

762
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: needs to be the focal point for this football team.

763
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: Culture change. Bringing in captains, bringing in guys that have

764
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: strong worth ethics, bringing in guys that can bring something

765
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: to a locker room to elevate other guys. That's what

766
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: this football team needs and that's what this coaching staff needs,

767
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: and from judging the free agent class as a whole,

768
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: it looks like they've addressed that very well. Lord's turned

769
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: in a moment with a look around the National Football League.

770
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are one of the busiest teams, but some

771
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: other teams are getting some big time acquisitions as well

772
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: in free agency. We are only a day into the

773

Speaker 1: Football Performance Center, schedule to open three just outside t

780
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,279

781
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: they're pouring some concrete. The footprint has expanded over the

782
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: last week or so. It looks like, um, they're, you know,

783
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: doing some construction things, which is good. It's a good step.

784
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: Where's the football field. They're not. They're they're covered in dirt.

785
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, so they've gotta figure that out. Of course,

786
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: offseason programs coming up in April, it might be a

787
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: combination the game field the indoor right now and then

788
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens come training camp and all that.

789
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: But hey, it's it's it's off and running, which is

790
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: good news. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Lockman. Thanks to

791
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Sheriff and for joining us here in studio, the

792
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars right guard. I wanted to kind of say that

793
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: again because I wanted to make sure that everybody pronounces

794
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: his name right, because I don't think there's anything worse

795
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: than coming to a new place and then here people

796
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: mispronounce your name. We got an old name, free agency class.

797
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: I'll say that it's a little different. But he as

798
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: he said, he said, think of sheriff. I shot the sheriff,

799
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: and I said, there's a new sheriff in town, right, Okay,

800
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: there's no eye in his name, thank you, but it's

801
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: pronounced as if there is so sheriff. Thank you. I

802
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: like it very good. I just want to make sure

803
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: that people get it right. What are the other two?

804
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: Trust me? When you grew up with a name like Lockerman, okay,

805
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: and you've heard that name mispronounced as many times as

806
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: I have. You'd like to have your name pronounced. Let's

807
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: go through the other ones. Fully photokas uh fully photos

808
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: and Foyer, Lou Khan, Yeah, a good football player, Okay,

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

810
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 1: Darius Williams say Jones tongue twist. I don't know about

811
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: that one. Did I get down right Williams? I don't know.

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

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

814
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: free agency frenzy continued, but not really with a player

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

816
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: with teams. The Browns are out now. He met with

817
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: the Falcons earlier this week. The Panthers and Saints were

818
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: in the mix. There was a word earlier today that

819
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: he might have a decision by today this afternoon. I

820
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet. If it pops in the next

821
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: eight minutes, we'll give it to you. But Deshaun Watson,

822
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: all of a sudden is holding the cards well. And

823
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: I said this to you kind of off the air.

824
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: It's a crazy year in the National Football League here

825
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: at the start of free agency, and it involves the quarterbacks.

826
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: And this really is the first time ever in free

827
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: agency that quarterback has been as hot of a topic

828
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: and as a hot of a position in free agency.

829
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: And I would wouldn't really call it free agency because

830
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is not a free agent. But the trades

831
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, what's gonna happen with Aaron Rodgers the question

832
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: marks there and here we are talking about DeShawn Watson,

833
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: which could and is gonna set off a domino effect.

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

835
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. If because Jamis Winston, if if all of

836
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: a sudden they signed to Shaun Watson, that's that's not

837
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: the place in New Orleans now for Jamis Winston. But

838
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: I don't see Deshaun Watson being embraced in Carolina. I

839
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: think he would have a better chance of being in

840
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: embraced in either Atlanta, which is his hometown, or New Orleans.

841
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: And uh, and that's all in his control because he

842
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: has a no trade clause. He has to okay where

843
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: he is traded to and then at that point the

844
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: terms have to be agreed upon with the Houston Texans.

845
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: And then of course, if it's Atlanta. And by the way,

846
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was a ball boy for the Falcons when

847
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: he was growing up just outside of Atlanta. True story.

848
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck was there the equipment manager and Deshaun Watson

849
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: was working during training camp with the team. So if

850
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: it's Atlanta, they have a former m v P quarterback

851
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: is still on the roster in Matt Right. Yeah, they're

852
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: gonna figure that out. Yeah, But and and here's what

853
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: they have to figure out. They have to figure out

854
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: a way to clear the cap number that Matt Ryan

855
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: represents to to have the room to bring in a

856
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. And clearly they can make it happen, otherwise

857
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be having the conversations. But Matt Ryan is

858
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: not the same Matt Ryan that into a Super Bowl

859
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: a few years ago. JP, It's excellent point, I'm to

860
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: say it. He's been there for a long time, and

861
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: you gonna have that move now. But then there's a

862
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: lot of other teams that are kind of waiting to

863
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: see what happens with Deshaun Watson because then, okay, what's

864
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna happen and I know Baker Mayfield. There's still a

865
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: question mark there with Baker Mayfield. He's in his own feelings.

866
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: That sounds like, now, after that meeting the other day,

867
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in Cleveland, What's gonna happen in Seattle,

868
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen in New Orleans, what's gonna happen in Atlanta.

869
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions Indianapolis. What's gonna happen in Indianapolis?

870
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders end up getting a guy that I

871
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't have given up anything. I got it right this time,

872
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. And I the R word or

873
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: Washington football team. I'm proud of myself. Way to go,

874
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: Way to go. Do you see, by the way, you

875
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: see what Carson Wentz was wearing at his press conference? Yeah,

876
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: it look terrible. He's wearing a a Berkeley suit with

877
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: a yellow shirt and look terrible. But because let me

878
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: tell you, I have fashion sense like no other. Okay,

879
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean look at me what I wear all the time,

880
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: So I'm really I can judge, you know what. It reminded.

881
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 1: It reminded me of Kenda Maccardell Kenyan used to dress

882
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 1: outlandish back in the day. And uh, and he would

883
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: laugh at it if he were here. So I'm not

884
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: saying anything that I wouldn't tell him, but but he

885
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: was always a guy that that wore very bright colors

886
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: and different colors, and uh, but yeah, it was when

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

888
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: you might want to just kind of wear something neutral

889
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: and show up your press conference and uh be a

890
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: little bit more reserved. Let's go through a few other

891
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: teams that have brought in a Hall in this time

892
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: frame here, at least via trade or by free agency.

893
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: The Bills get von Miller six years, one twenty million

894
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: dollars for von six years. He's like thirty three years old,

895
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: thirty four years old. He's gonna be about thirty eight

896
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: running around chasing people. If he can see I he

897
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: can still play, You can still play, but he doesn't.

898
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: He doesn't. The one thing that I've watched with von

899
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: Miller is that he doesn't play every down. S He

900
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: takes certain plays off, and but he's still an exceptional

901
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: pass rusher. He still can have an impact with with Buffalo,

902
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: and I think he will provide some great leadership. But again,

903
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: most of these contracts that you hear six years a

904
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: bazillion dollars, right, there is some more realistic year and

905
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: number that's associated with that contract, and it might be

906
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: two years and thirty five million. I don't I don't

907
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: know what that number is, but there's there's a more

908
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: realistic number and a term to that contract than six

909
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: years and whatever that number was. The a f C

910
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: West was adding quarterbacks. They continue to add other players

911
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: to that as well. The Broncos of course, got Russell

912
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: Wilson via the trade. They signed Randy Gregory for five years,

913
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: seventy million. The Chargers get wide by the way, Yeah,

914
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: wide receiver Mike Williams goes to the Chargers. They got

915
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack in l A as well. I mean, that's

916
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: that's carnage. That whole division is going to be, uh,

917
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: just murderers. Row Well, Khalil Mack has familiarity with the

918
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: head coach there. They when Khalil Mack first went to Chicago,

919
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 1: the head coach now in l A was his coach

920
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: in Chicago, so that there's a lot a lot of

921
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: familiarity there. Uh, it's a it's a it's definitely been

922
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: a very different free agent period. I think it's been

923
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: one that's been very exciting, and particularly for this football team,

924
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: but I think league wide, I mean, that's why this

925
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: league is king because it and I remember, I'll never

926
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,439
Speaker 1: forget this. You go all the way back to when

927
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: the NFL only had planed B and they were talking

928
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: about going to unrestricted free agency, and I was having

929
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: a conversation with our head coach at the time in

930
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: New York, which was Bruce Cousin, and I said, Bruce,

931
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 1: I said, I'm just telling you, when we get free agency,

932
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: I said, it's gonna make the the interest in the

933
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: sports just go through the refuge said, oh, it's gonna

934
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: be bad for the game and this and that, and

935
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, really think about I mean, how many times

936
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: was the National Football League talked about in March for

937
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: free agency started in the nineties, one talked about And

938
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: so it's created a lot of interest, and it's given

939
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: everybody hope because if you've got a bad football team, okay,

940
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: and we've been a bad football team the last couple

941
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: of years here, okay, but we still have hope because

942
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: we just acquired seven guys in free agency that can

943
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: help this football team win. That are proven players, and

944
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: then you've got twelve draft picks to add too, And

945
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of the National Football League. You can

946
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: always improve your football team if you do things the

947
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: right way. And hopefully this football team has taken some

948
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: steps and doing it the right way. And I believe

949
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 1: that with these free agents in the way that they

950
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: um have from a character standpoint, I think it's a

951
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: great first step. We say goodbye to Miles Jackie's going
