Speaker 1: It is Thursday, February eighteenth. This is Catlars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours presented by Duval Motor Company. And now
Speaker 1: a guy who always looks at life through teal colored glasses,
Speaker 1: Jay Peace, if it might be time for an update.
Speaker 1: These are black, that is the old primary color. Maybe
Speaker 1: I need to go shopping. Welcome in. This is Jaguar's
Speaker 1: Happy Hour. My name is J. P. Shadrick. His name
Speaker 1: is Jeff Logman. Well, his name was Joe Portnado. This
Speaker 1: is Jeff Logman from his home studio. I'm at the stadium. Logs,
Speaker 1: good afternoon. We have a program ahead of us today,
Speaker 1: teal with it. Yes, the primary color has changed. We'll
Speaker 1: hear from Jimmy Luck, the head equipment manager. They'll show
Speaker 1: off some of that teal. I mean, you know what
Speaker 1: it looks like. The Jags have worn this before. We
Speaker 1: will hear from Jimmy and studio coming up about fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes or so. And what is next? Now with the
Speaker 1: staff in place, we're inside four weeks away from the
Speaker 1: start of free agency. Maybe we'll list a few guys
Speaker 1: that the Jags could tag or sign before then. Who
Speaker 1: do you keep, who do you let go free agency
Speaker 1: right around the corner, and we'll hear from Charlie Strong
Speaker 1: from the ozone podcast that posted earlier today. He's the
Speaker 1: assistant head coach, the inside linebackers coach, and he is
Speaker 1: reunited with Irvin Meyer. Will get into that coming up.
Speaker 1: Then our final thoughts on Trevor Lawrence's throwing session. Hey, Logs.
Speaker 1: By the way, breaking news, the Mars rover has landed
Speaker 1: and guess what, there's still Martian soil and rocks everywhere
Speaker 1: on Mars according to the video I'm watching right now.
Speaker 1: I think teo glasses would look sweet on you. I
Speaker 1: really do. I thought you should get some teal colored glasses.
Speaker 1: Of the frames, get tell frames, Yeah, I like frames.
Speaker 1: What do you think basic frames? The teal you know
Speaker 1: it could? Yeah yeah, why not? Team be a team player,
Speaker 1: get the teal, teal with it the whole thing. That's
Speaker 1: what we're doing this week, Like you know, hey, look, look,
Speaker 1: you know I am. I am happy to hear that
Speaker 1: teal will be the primary color. It has been the
Speaker 1: most victorious of all Jaguar jerseys, and it goes back
Speaker 1: to the roots of where this team was founded on
Speaker 1: and for me, there was really there wasn't any other
Speaker 1: decision to make. I mean, I I understand they had
Speaker 1: a big campaign to kind of have the fans get
Speaker 1: involved and and uh and obviously they did and the
Speaker 1: fans spoke, and that's all fine and Danny, But look,
Speaker 1: I never understood the whole obsession with black. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't quite understand that platte can be a great
Speaker 1: accent color. But if you're gonna stand, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: stand apart a little bit, you gotta have your own color.
Speaker 1: And color that you have been has been teal. So
Speaker 1: deal with it and stick with it. Deal with it. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it hearkens back to those mid to late nineties
Speaker 1: teams the first few years. Of course you were a
Speaker 1: part of those, with some successful football teams as well.
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Jimmy lock on just why the change
Speaker 1: was made, and it was because of the fan response.
Speaker 1: A lot of times on social media after our Wednesday
Speaker 1: during the season happy hours, he would come on here
Speaker 1: and unveil the uniforms and all heck would break loose
Speaker 1: on social media. We'll hear from Jimmy and break that
Speaker 1: down a little bit coming up also a little later,
Speaker 1: the final thoughts about Trevor Lawrence's throwing session. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you watched a little of that. Logs will break that
Speaker 1: down and Charlie Strong, we'll get a comment from him
Speaker 1: on the ozone podcast. But now you know what's coming
Speaker 1: up next coaching staffs here, Yes, Locks, you're gonna say something.
Speaker 1: I got a question, hit me, okay. Charlie Strong, who
Speaker 1: is the assistant head coach? And and obviously it was
Speaker 1: one of the first hires that Herbert Meyer May he
Speaker 1: was the first. Yes, and Charlie's experiences on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Right, So when you get hired,
Speaker 1: since sure the assistant head coach, I mean you probably
Speaker 1: get to pick the position that you get to coach, right,
Speaker 1: I mean because you're the assistant head coach. I mean
Speaker 1: you're like the l f A two, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: the second guy in charge. Right. So do you think
Speaker 1: that Charlie Strong came in and and urban said, hey, look,
Speaker 1: you know I want to bring in and obviously you're
Speaker 1: gonna be a big part of what we do. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be my assistant head coach. And obviously you're experienced
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. Where do you
Speaker 1: want to coach. Charlie Strong looked at the roster and said,
Speaker 1: defensive line, got josh Allen Levan Chase looks promising, but
Speaker 1: really we don't even have any defensive tackles to speak of.
Speaker 1: And then let's look at the secondary. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: we got one guy we we feel good about, maybe
Speaker 1: because he was the first round pick, but really, other
Speaker 1: than that, we don't have a whole lot. And then
Speaker 1: you don't get the linebackers. And you see two really
Speaker 1: good football players and Joe Schobert and Miles Jack and
Speaker 1: you go, I think I'll coach that crowd. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the assistant head coach, and I'll take linebackers.
Speaker 1: I love it. Hey, that's what it is. He's the
Speaker 1: right hand man and he has the pick of the litter,
Speaker 1: as they say. And we'll get into that a little
Speaker 1: bit later coming up. But hey, the staff's in now.
Speaker 1: That means we're we're inside four weeks from the start
Speaker 1: of the league year logs. So the first thing up
Speaker 1: for the staff is to figure out who's on the team,
Speaker 1: evaluate what you have, figure out what you want to
Speaker 1: bring back before the start of free agency. Resign early
Speaker 1: or franchise tag or all that, and then once you
Speaker 1: get to free agency, what moves do you want to
Speaker 1: make in that department. That's where they are right now.
Speaker 1: This is that time frame where there's they're studying this
Speaker 1: roster to try to figure out because the franchise tag
Speaker 1: opportunity opens next week sometime. Is the first chance to
Speaker 1: start tagging a play here, and then you can resign
Speaker 1: your guys if you want. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: guys coming up for free agency. Yeah, there, you could
Speaker 1: resign guys any time. I mean, that's so that's the
Speaker 1: one benefit of having your own free agents is that
Speaker 1: you don't have to wait until free agency to talk
Speaker 1: to your guys, and so that conversation can be ongoing.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure that that recently with this coaching staff,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it has been an absolute crash course and
Speaker 1: evaluating the roster that you have because they need to
Speaker 1: make some decisions and there's probably not a ton of them,
Speaker 1: and some of the decisions that you have to make
Speaker 1: aren't looming like you have to make them now, but
Speaker 1: there's a few of them that you've got to make.
Speaker 1: I mean, as far as guys that are going to
Speaker 1: get free agency, and do you want to have a
Speaker 1: conversation with those guys before that happened, So you want
Speaker 1: to have the input from all of the new staff.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure that that has been priority number one.
Speaker 1: And then once that is done, evaluating your own roster
Speaker 1: with your own coaching staff, then you move on to
Speaker 1: the next phase, or in conjunction with that phase, you're
Speaker 1: evaluating the potential free agent crop because you want to
Speaker 1: have some type of comparison, you know, so when you
Speaker 1: evaluate your guys, you're also kind of putting that on
Speaker 1: a scale of well, our guys like a six. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: let's look of at all the position, the guys that
Speaker 1: are a free agent at that position. Well, there's gonna
Speaker 1: be three guys that we think are sevens. So maybe
Speaker 1: you sit there and you say, okay, well, our guys
Speaker 1: the six, we can do better with this guy in
Speaker 1: free agency with who's a seven. And there's let's say
Speaker 1: three of them that are going to be available in
Speaker 1: free agency. So let's not making resign our guy who's
Speaker 1: a six of priority right now because we know we've
Speaker 1: got three sevens and free agency if we get there
Speaker 1: and sevens and sixes are of course, like a grade
Speaker 1: that I would put on a player, that scouts would
Speaker 1: put on a player. And so I think those are
Speaker 1: the things that the coaching staff has to do now,
Speaker 1: because you can't evaluate yours unless you can kind of
Speaker 1: compare with what you else you can get elsewhere. And
Speaker 1: then once you evaluate yours and then the free agent
Speaker 1: prop or the expected free agent crop, then you turn
Speaker 1: to the evaluation of the college draft class, and that's
Speaker 1: gonna be really challenging. And I know that the Jaguars
Speaker 1: made some hires this week to strengthen their personnel department
Speaker 1: that they brought on with their general manager and uh,
Speaker 1: and those guys, I'm sure are very trusted people. Uh,
Speaker 1: trusted people both from the general manner standpoint and also
Speaker 1: from the head coaching standpoint, because you can see that
Speaker 1: there's kind of a little bit of a mix in
Speaker 1: the background, so you can see that they're kind of,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, circling the truth. But they're
Speaker 1: bringing in people now that are going to help them
Speaker 1: evaluate personnel, pro personnel and college personnel. And that's the
Speaker 1: priority right now. You gotta you gotta make the evaluations
Speaker 1: now because here pretty soon it's gonna be time to
Speaker 1: start making decisions. Yeah, here it comes. The decision making
Speaker 1: process is right around the corner. So we're gonna play
Speaker 1: a game Todaylogs, I'm gonna go through a handful of
Speaker 1: painting a football game. No, we're not playing a football game.
Speaker 1: It's a game in evolving football. But it's not a
Speaker 1: football game. This is pending free agents. We're gonna pick
Speaker 1: a few pending Jaguars free agents, and would you general
Speaker 1: manager Jeff Loghum and resign them or figure out a
Speaker 1: way to keep them around? How about that? Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Let's start with detail. That's gonna be a really easy game,
Speaker 1: really easy game for me. Let's go. Okay, cornerback d
Speaker 1: J Hayden thirty one years old, absolutely bringing back. He's
Speaker 1: one of the best nickel players that there is in
Speaker 1: the league. In my opinion. I think he's an outstanding
Speaker 1: player and he would provide great leadership. Well, it's a
Speaker 1: little early we get go into numbers. You know that
Speaker 1: we haven't had the full cap ready, so this is
Speaker 1: kind of just a yes or no kind of game.
Speaker 1: That's a good answer. Okay, you're a yes. Put you
Speaker 1: for a yes on d J. Hayden, Tyler Eiffort tight
Speaker 1: end I want to see with out there. And and
Speaker 1: the reason I say that is I think Tyler Effort
Speaker 1: was solid. Uh, but for that position, you need dynamic,
Speaker 1: and I want to have somebody who's really dynamic. And
Speaker 1: you know the old thing I was talking about. Okay,
Speaker 1: well there's your guy might be a six, but there
Speaker 1: might be a guy out there in free agency who's
Speaker 1: a seven. Well, the Tennessee Titans, I believe, have a
Speaker 1: tight end. It's going to be available in free age,
Speaker 1: possible possibly in free agency, and John new Smith, I
Speaker 1: mean that's a whole another level where where you can
Speaker 1: get at at the tight end position. So for me, uh,
Speaker 1: that's not a priority, and I would rather shop in
Speaker 1: the market and make an upgrade there. For me, I'd
Speaker 1: rather draft a tight end because if a tight end
Speaker 1: comes out in free agency, then the original team probably
Speaker 1: has a reason why he's out there in free agency, right,
Speaker 1: not always though that JP This year is different. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that argument can work, I think in some years,
Speaker 1: but this year especially, that argue can be put on
Speaker 1: the show. And the reason why it's with the cap
Speaker 1: expected to drop down a hundred eighty million. Wherever it
Speaker 1: ends up, you're gonna have a significant amount of teams
Speaker 1: they're not gonna have a choice. Jp they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to cut ties with guys they love, I mean that
Speaker 1: they absolutely love. And uh so you're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to find some guys that aren't just okay, well, there's
Speaker 1: a reason why this god is available because the other team,
Speaker 1: you know, they don't like him. Well, the big reason
Speaker 1: is going to be for some teams they can't get
Speaker 1: under the dagum cap. I mean they don't have a choice.
Speaker 1: So there, you know, take that kind of out of
Speaker 1: your mind this year because of the cap situation. Abrey
Speaker 1: Jones defensive tackle undrafted players some years ago. Now he's
Speaker 1: thirty years of age. What would you do with Abrey?
Speaker 1: I would probably move on and uh because I think
Speaker 1: you look I like Abrey and he has been one
Speaker 1: of the longest tenure Jaguars And uh. But you've got
Speaker 1: a really good young player that that you drafted last
Speaker 1: year and you're probably excited about him, and you need
Speaker 1: to make a significant upgrade at the defensive tackle spots.
Speaker 1: And and the upgrade needs to happen when it comes
Speaker 1: to finding people that can rush the passer and push
Speaker 1: the pocket, and that's not what Avery does best. You know,
Speaker 1: Avery is kind of a run player. He's solid, but
Speaker 1: you know, you need to make a you need to
Speaker 1: make a little step up from solid. But look, here's
Speaker 1: the deal. I like Avery Jones, and I'm not going
Speaker 1: to just ignore it and say, hey, I don't need him.
Speaker 1: I'm moving on from him. I'm having a conversation with
Speaker 1: Avery and that, Hey, I want to bring him back,
Speaker 1: but I want to bring him back at a really
Speaker 1: affordable number. And when I say an affordable number, probably
Speaker 1: close to minimum. He ended up year the year hurt
Speaker 1: last year. He hasn't been a big numbers guy. Uh
Speaker 1: So for me, I think you can probably do a
Speaker 1: deal that's close to minimum and then let him come
Speaker 1: in and compe eat and uh and see how you
Speaker 1: end up in free agencies, see how you end up
Speaker 1: in the draft, and see how how the competition ends up.
Speaker 1: I think I think you bring him back. But I
Speaker 1: think you bring him back, and he's not a you know,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna put a big number on them. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get a few more here before we head out
Speaker 1: to our first brake. Log's Keelan Cole wide receiver. This
Speaker 1: is a position group that has a little bit of
Speaker 1: star power to it. Helan Cole worked his way up
Speaker 1: as an undrafted player. Now he'll be a free agent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I like clan Cole. I think he is a
Speaker 1: guy that, uh, you know, going back to my days
Speaker 1: with the Jets, the head equipment guy with the New
Speaker 1: York Jets, Bill Hampton, Sr. Is an amazing guy and
Speaker 1: and uh he had an assistant JP that worked with him,
Speaker 1: and he was an older fellow and his name was
Speaker 1: Mickey Rendin and we used to have a lot of
Speaker 1: fun with Mickey. You know. Mickey was a retired guy,
Speaker 1: you know, used to work in the Yankees clubhouse forever,
Speaker 1: had a million stories about some of the all time
Speaker 1: great Jets and also some of the all time great
Speaker 1: Yankees because he worked both clubhouses. And he used to
Speaker 1: have a say in him and Bill Hampton Senior, and
Speaker 1: it was the more you can do, young man, the
Speaker 1: more you can do. And I think that they used
Speaker 1: to tell us that all the time because they just
Speaker 1: wanted us to help them fold towels in the longer room,
Speaker 1: which we did. But I think it applies to Keeling Cole,
Speaker 1: because Keilan Cole does everything that you ask of him.
Speaker 1: He does punt returns, kick returns, he plays the all
Speaker 1: three positions at wide receiver, and he doesn't with a
Speaker 1: smile on his face, and he goes about his business.
Speaker 1: I think he's he's a strong professional, and I like
Speaker 1: his work ethic and And is he gonna be a
Speaker 1: high price free agent? I don't think he is, But
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be an affordable player. And I
Speaker 1: want to try to bring back as as many good professional,
Speaker 1: affordable players as I can. I want Keelan colback. Let's
Speaker 1: get one more. And we've heard your thoughts about this
Speaker 1: next player already in previews shows, but let's hear it again.
Speaker 1: Tyler Shatley interior offensive line and is going to be
Speaker 1: a free agent. He's been around here as a backup
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's had limited roles in starting
Speaker 1: opportunities when lender's hurt or when one of the guards
Speaker 1: is out. Shatley could have a chance to be a
Speaker 1: starter in this league. Do you try to get him back?
Speaker 1: You obviously try right Well, let me start by saying
Speaker 1: this about Tyler Shatley. Tyler Shatley's value is probably more
Speaker 1: to this franchise than maybe some other franchises because you're
Speaker 1: starting center hasn't been able to still hasn't been able
Speaker 1: to stay healthy consistently, and that's Brandon Lender. It seems
Speaker 1: like three out of four years that Tyler Shatley is
Speaker 1: needed for quarter maybe half of the season because of
Speaker 1: an injury that that Brandon Lenders sustained. So I would
Speaker 1: like to have him back just because he has uh,
Speaker 1: he's a very good center, he's dependable, he's durable, he
Speaker 1: is a good solid player. And on top of that,
Speaker 1: Tyler Shatley, I think this past year really showed that
Speaker 1: he can be a starting caliber center in this league,
Speaker 1: which may make it difficult to bring him back. So
Speaker 1: I would like to see him back, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if you're gonna be able to afford him because
Speaker 1: he got a lot of good film out there last
Speaker 1: year with the amount that he played. And let me
Speaker 1: say this JP, because I'm one of those guys that
Speaker 1: that you know, you look at players and your roster
Speaker 1: is is I use a term that Dick Catchman, who
Speaker 1: used to be the senior editor a Jaguars dot Com
Speaker 1: and he was pre ozone, and he used to say
Speaker 1: and to call players, you know, the jars on the sholf,
Speaker 1: And and I adhere to the philosophy that if you've
Speaker 1: got a roster and those are your jars on the shelves,
Speaker 1: all the players, I don't like taking jars off of
Speaker 1: that shelf unless I get a little a prettier, more
Speaker 1: valuable jar to put up there before I take one
Speaker 1: of them down. You know. So I believe in competition.
Speaker 1: I believe in making your roster as strong as you've
Speaker 1: possibly can and letting the competition decide which ones aren't
Speaker 1: at pretty to take down. So keep them all up
Speaker 1: there until you start at in real pretty ones and
Speaker 1: let him compete and then take them all so so
Speaker 1: you'll probably I'll probably end up saying a lot more
Speaker 1: keep them, and yes, I want him back, more so
Speaker 1: than I will say, no, I want that guy gone.
Speaker 1: I want to replace, just because I do like to
Speaker 1: have the competition, and you would rather take a a
Speaker 1: put a good one up there before you take one off.
Speaker 1: You're having a few pending free agents. General manager Jeff
Speaker 1: Logaman making some early decisions before they started the league year.
Speaker 1: And we're back in a moment with head equipment manager
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck. The Teel primary uniforms have been announced. We'll
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on that a little later. Some Trevor Talk,
Speaker 1: you know Trevor Is, and we'll go around the National

Speaker 1: Happy Hour, presented by the Duval Motor Company, j P. Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockman and Head equipment Manager Jimmy Luck joining us
Speaker 1: the media Darling now of the Jaguars organization. Jimmy Luck
Speaker 1: has been all over every media outlet in Jacksonville, Florida,
Speaker 1: over the last two days, and we're glad you're on
Speaker 1: this one. Jimmy. It's great to see you. What's up. Well,
Speaker 1: I've been hearing about it too, you know, even the
Speaker 1: new coaches they already on me about it that they
Speaker 1: are right. I mean, now, Jimmy's the star, right, You're
Speaker 1: the You're the guy. Jimmy has his own public relations staff,
Speaker 1: I mean releases, I mean very well written releases, statements,
Speaker 1: I mean pretty good. Yeah, Unfortunately, I've become the face
Speaker 1: of the Teal rate of the Teal jersey, which is
Speaker 1: not a good I don't have I have a face
Speaker 1: for radio. Well there you go. Um, it is something else.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this was really a fan driven deal, Jimmy.
Speaker 1: I mean every Wednesday Unhappy Hour during the season, we
Speaker 1: unveil the uniforms for Sunday. You unveil the uniforms for Sunday.
Speaker 1: But um, you always get some kick back on social
Speaker 1: media because people are all over you. Yeah, no matter
Speaker 1: what I bring out they don't like. But that's I mean,
Speaker 1: that's part of it. It's it's fun though, to to
Speaker 1: interact with those guys and the fans. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: they they're the ones that that wanted the Teal and
Speaker 1: as well as the players too. Um, you know we're
Speaker 1: trying to make everybody happy. Don't always do that, but uh,
Speaker 1: I think everybody's fired up about about going back to
Speaker 1: the Teal. So what would be the the combination with
Speaker 1: the pants? I mean, obviously the Teal jerseys the helmets
Speaker 1: will stay pretty much the same. So is it a
Speaker 1: combination with white pants? Like going back to the beginning,
Speaker 1: Jimmy world? Might it be some different variations maybe teel pants,
Speaker 1: maybe black pants. Yeah, I mean I would foresee us
Speaker 1: most of the time wearing the white pants with the
Speaker 1: Teal jerseys kind of like um, like back in the day.
Speaker 1: But also, um, you know, the all Teal went over
Speaker 1: really well, so I imagine us at least doing that once, um,
Speaker 1: and then maybe just to switch it up, you know,
Speaker 1: the black pants here and there, um, because I think
Speaker 1: that's I I like the contrast of the black and teal. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we're probably not gonna wear that like September
Speaker 1: one when it's a thousand degrees outside, but um, you know,
Speaker 1: I definitely think we'll we'll get a combination of all three,
Speaker 1: but probably mostly the white with the deal and the
Speaker 1: home team determines the jersey and the teams themselves can
Speaker 1: determine the pants at a later date, right, that's correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So by June one, we've got to submit to the
Speaker 1: league what we want to wear for the home games. Um.
Speaker 1: So obviously, once the schedule comes out, I'll sit down
Speaker 1: with coach Meyer and Trent and say, Okay, hey, here's
Speaker 1: here's kind of what I think, here's what we've done
Speaker 1: in the past, here's why we've done this. This and this,
Speaker 1: and then we'll make that determination on what color. Can
Speaker 1: just take control of that situation, Jimmy, not that that
Speaker 1: works with of course the new staff involved here. Now,
Speaker 1: how many times can you wear or are you supposed
Speaker 1: to wear the primary jersey? Is that you could in
Speaker 1: theory wear that every home game if you wanted to write,
Speaker 1: since it's the primary jersey, or do you mix in
Speaker 1: the black? Uh? No, that's we can wear it as
Speaker 1: many times as we want. Uh. And then also if
Speaker 1: for some reason somebody does like we do where that
Speaker 1: first game and it's hot and we make them wear
Speaker 1: a colored jersey, Um, we would wear the teal for that. UM.
Speaker 1: I really don't see us wearing the black more than
Speaker 1: once or twice a year. UM. I think you know,
Speaker 1: we're some talk about, you know, since we've always worn
Speaker 1: that in London, maybe keeping that, you know, the jersey
Speaker 1: for London and then keeping the teal for for Duval
Speaker 1: and you know, for the fans here in the Nino four.
Speaker 1: What was your favorite teal memory? There were a lot
Speaker 1: of good games and teal back in the old days.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I mean to be honest with you, JP
Speaker 1: and Jimmy, I mean I don't distinguish memories in football
Speaker 1: games based on what colored jersey that I was or
Speaker 1: wasn't wearing it. I mean it's uh yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I can tell you this, Like going back to the
Speaker 1: Morton miss which propelled us into the playoffs in NINETI
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what colored jersey we were wearing
Speaker 1: at that time. My guests would be teal just because
Speaker 1: that was kind of the home color for us. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: that's that's fine that you say that. The a lot
Speaker 1: of the big moments, like obviously that one, and you know,
Speaker 1: seeing pictures of Fred running and Tony and all that,
Speaker 1: like you see him in the teal jerseys. So um,
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of cool to to bring that back
Speaker 1: and relive some of those memories. Yeah, the Atlantic game,
Speaker 1: that was. I grew up in Atlanta, so I remember
Speaker 1: that for the wrong reason. But right now what we
Speaker 1: need is the full cat on the sleeve again like
Speaker 1: the old days. Jimmy, can you do something about that? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you don't like the cat. Come on, I don't. I
Speaker 1: do not like the full cat on the sleeve. And
Speaker 1: and the reason why, and Jimmy probably will attest to this.
Speaker 1: Most of your positional players, and especially your offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: they don't want to have anything that may interrupt with
Speaker 1: their flow when it comes to the jersey going around
Speaker 1: the arms, because the less cloth that you can have
Speaker 1: around the shoulder pad, the better. And then when you
Speaker 1: have a logo cat that's right up here on your shoulder,
Speaker 1: it just it's just messes with the flow a little bit.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, you might be the only person that
Speaker 1: doesn't like that cat on the helmet. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't need a cat on the side, mom o.
Speaker 1: It is. It is tough to get a patch. Jimmy, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: that's true. Well, Jimmy will probably tell you. I mean, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: one of the things that I remember when I was
Speaker 1: in New York, we didn't have custom jerseys. When I
Speaker 1: came to Jacksonville at the equipment manager at the time,
Speaker 1: Bobby Monica, this was something that I never have ever
Speaker 1: seen in my life. And I know Jimmy that you
Speaker 1: guys still do this to this day, that you have
Speaker 1: people that come into work in the equipment room during
Speaker 1: the week to literally custom Taylor every jersey for that
Speaker 1: player's desires or needs. And when I was in New York, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: you probably remember they used to have like shoe string
Speaker 1: holes in the underneath of this part of the jersey,
Speaker 1: so you could string the jersey up nice and tight. Well, nowadays,
Speaker 1: Jimmy will have somebody come in and they'll have the
Speaker 1: player put the jersey on, and they'll they'll fold it
Speaker 1: and then mark it and literally take the fabric out.
Speaker 1: So these these jerseys literally fit like perfect gloves nowadays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what we what we normally end up doing nowadays, and
Speaker 1: some of that is we get it smaller and then
Speaker 1: add an insert in certain spots to to let it
Speaker 1: fit a little bit tighter. But yeah, you can do
Speaker 1: multiple things, Like there's still some stuff where like the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were always big about tying the jersey down like
Speaker 1: right there in the front um and some of those things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but now with um, you know, we've we're fortunate enough
Speaker 1: to have Cornell he comes in pretty much every day
Speaker 1: during the season and take a little bit out here,
Speaker 1: add a little bit there, shorten something here, lengthen something there.
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, it's it's it's really it's it
Speaker 1: helps everybody. Jimmy. You see the video after the older
Speaker 1: one retweets on the at Jaguars social channel. They put
Speaker 1: out the video which shall and Jaguars Defensive end and
Speaker 1: it's pretty dark cool. I don't know if you saw

Speaker 1: a Deco USA dot com. And I asked him, said,
Speaker 1: there's three choices you have. Number one is you can
Speaker 1: wait till March eleventh Pro Day, but now you're getting
Speaker 1: near August and it's getting late because it's a five
Speaker 1: to six month injury. Um. The second thing, you cannot
Speaker 1: throw he's probably good enough player. He could have said,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it him and his agent or the
Speaker 1: third thing, I said, why don't you go scrab the
Speaker 1: ball and go throw throw for a little bit. I'd
Speaker 1: like to have our coordinator and passing game coordinator watch
Speaker 1: and they've never seen you. I've seen you, and he said,
Speaker 1: let's go. That was that. The next thing I know,
Speaker 1: we talked to Woody and we're here at a pro
Speaker 1: day that they put together like that. That's a guy
Speaker 1: that loves football, that's a guy that's confident of his ability,
Speaker 1: and that was really impressive. Have it. That's Jaguar's head
Speaker 1: Godervian Meyer. Right after the throwing session of Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: the Clemson quarterback and welcome back, it's Jaguars happy hour.
Speaker 1: James Slater had that interview on NFL Network. We appreciate
Speaker 1: them for sharing and it seems like Urban it's pretty
Speaker 1: happy with the way that went the other day. I
Speaker 1: think you had the closest view of it else say
Speaker 1: that logs right there in the middle of the field
Speaker 1: all day. And then after a couple of days after that,
Speaker 1: the surgery on the left shoulder laborum apparently went very
Speaker 1: well and all should be on track for him to
Speaker 1: start throwing in as he said, as Trevor said, for
Speaker 1: to Trevor like I know him, Trevor Lawrence, four to
Speaker 1: six weeks and then five to six months should be
Speaker 1: full go. That's in time for training camp. So it's
Speaker 1: all good in the quarterback world. And it was a
Speaker 1: big message, you know, with with Urban standing there, not
Speaker 1: that he will ever admit that, but the Jags have
Speaker 1: the number one pick. It was the first big media
Speaker 1: football events since Urban Meyer has been the head coach here,
Speaker 1: and I think the message was this is the quarterback
Speaker 1: of this team, and it showed in clips in the
Speaker 1: other day logs. Yeah, I thought it was pretty neat.
Speaker 1: Not very often that you get to have one of
Speaker 1: the greatest college coaches of all time kind of I
Speaker 1: don't want to say stand his ground and mark his territory,
Speaker 1: but that's kind of what it looked like a little bit.
Speaker 1: And obviously he's very good friends with Davo Sweeney, the
Speaker 1: head coach of Clemson, and so it was cool to
Speaker 1: see the camaraderie, you know, with with two coaches that
Speaker 1: obviously have had unbelievable success and and they're two of
Speaker 1: the best in the business when it comes to coaching,
Speaker 1: and I don't care what level it is. So that
Speaker 1: was cool to see. And I don't think that Urban
Speaker 1: meant anything by it, so to speak. I just thought
Speaker 1: that he felt comfortable with Dabo and was obviously very
Speaker 1: comfortable with with Trevor Lawrence too, because obviously the conversation
Speaker 1: happens to allow something like this to happen so that
Speaker 1: he can go ahead and have the surgery. So it's
Speaker 1: just pretty interesting though that he alluded to the conversation
Speaker 1: and he talked about the alternatives for Trevor Lawrence. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you don't have those conversations with somebody that you're not
Speaker 1: going to draft. So if anybody had an idea that
Speaker 1: well maybe you know, the Jaguars might pick somebody else,
Speaker 1: well throw that out the window after after what Remire
Speaker 1: just said right there. But but pretty cool stuff. I
Speaker 1: was very surprised at how light that Trevor Lawrences. I
Speaker 1: thought he would weigh a little bit more. Uh. I
Speaker 1: want to say he was like in the two range
Speaker 1: something like that, but I would expect him to be
Speaker 1: somewhere in that to to thirty. And I think that's
Speaker 1: somewhere that he probably is gonna need to be once
Speaker 1: he gets at the NFL level. I think it will
Speaker 1: help him a little bit um. But if it's not
Speaker 1: something that he that he needs to do, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's an absolute must, but I
Speaker 1: think it would help him. I think it would help
Speaker 1: him have more more strength, more velocity, and be able
Speaker 1: to take a little bit more of a pounding. So
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's any kind of concern about
Speaker 1: the surgery, because that's one of the things that everybody
Speaker 1: wants to talk about, Well, you know what, what could
Speaker 1: this do to Trevor? No, not, this is not going
Speaker 1: to impact him whatsoever. It's a non throwing shoulder and
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a small procedure for the
Speaker 1: most part. And I want to say it's a minor procedure,
Speaker 1: because the only minor procedures are the ones that are
Speaker 1: on somebody else and not you. And obviously I don't
Speaker 1: want to say that for Trevor Larch because I've had
Speaker 1: many surgeries and for the most part of a laboram
Speaker 1: terror is pretty minor. Or should I say something that's
Speaker 1: not that big of a deal to rehab from. So
Speaker 1: he should be fine and uh on track to be
Speaker 1: the Jaguars number one pick. Overall. I know you never
Speaker 1: played quarterback, but of all the surgery JP, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: whoa whoa excuse me, I played quarterback. I played quarterback.
Speaker 1: What great was this? In I was? I was a
Speaker 1: quarterback going all the way back to when I played
Speaker 1: for the Lions, the Rams, the Braves, um uh, and
Speaker 1: then my freshman year in high school, I was a quarterback.
Speaker 1: But then one of my good friends, Randy Boyer, beat
Speaker 1: me out at quarterbacks. They're like, look, you lost, so
Speaker 1: we want you to play because you're pretty good and
Speaker 1: we want to have our best players on the field,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna play you at tight end. Like cool,
Speaker 1: But I was. I mean, in my mind, I was
Speaker 1: gonna be the quarterback end play middle linebacker. And when
Speaker 1: I was in JP, when I was in Little league,
Speaker 1: I want to say it was for the Bears another Braves.
Speaker 1: When I was the quarterback for the for the Braves,
Speaker 1: and I don't was like see lee whatever grade that was.
Speaker 1: It was like elementary school or whatever. I even used
Speaker 1: to call my own plays. Can you believe that I mean,
Speaker 1: I was like in second and third grade calling my
Speaker 1: own plays a quarterback. And I'm gonna tell you when
Speaker 1: we got into that hotel, we ran, I mean we
Speaker 1: were a powerhouse football team. We ran seventeen sweep, we
Speaker 1: ran eighteen sweep. We didn't have very many plays that
Speaker 1: were called with a two and a three in front
Speaker 1: of the number there was. There was seventeens, fourteen, sixteen
Speaker 1: eighteen because the number one, you know, who gets the
Speaker 1: ball when it's the number one is the first digit.
Speaker 1: Who's that? Logs? Do you tell back? Baby? There you go?
Speaker 1: I was calling home played. I'll run it. Well, we're
Speaker 1: taking the scenic route right now to get to my point,
Speaker 1: but we'll continue down this path just because what was
Speaker 1: your record as a starter? Logs as a quarterback, I
Speaker 1: don't even know criticize other starting quarterbacks. Pretty good yours.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. Now. My whole point of this conversation
Speaker 1: was of all the surgeries you've had, which are many.
Speaker 1: Did you ever have a shoulder labor repair? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: both of them. Yeah. Um. Matter of fact, had my
Speaker 1: my left one done when I was in New York,
Speaker 1: and then I had a major surgery on my right
Speaker 1: shoulder the following year, and uh and then obviously Dr Kaplan,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, jo I and Dr Kaplan. He
Speaker 1: has also fixed up some laboring issues recently. But most importantly,
Speaker 1: I had full blown rotator cuff repair, So but the
Speaker 1: labor out of all the shoulder surgeries that I had JP,
Speaker 1: which was complete rotator cuff repairs and bow shoulders. And
Speaker 1: then on my right shoulder, I had an anterior interior
Speaker 1: capsular shift and a minor labor fixing. And on my
Speaker 1: left shoulder it was a minor labor the laborum in
Speaker 1: my left and the labor in my right which was
Speaker 1: in conjunction with the bigger surgery. So the labor was
Speaker 1: like no big deal at all. It was like, okay,
Speaker 1: it was uncomfortable to sleep for a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: and then four to six eight weeks later, man, I
Speaker 1: was ready to rock and roll. So not a big deal.
Speaker 1: If anyone would know, it's Jeff Logavin. He's been cut
Speaker 1: on so many shoulders. Now there's I mean, other parts
Speaker 1: of the body. I probably can't comment as much on.
Speaker 1: Like I haven't had many a lot of elbow surgeries.
Speaker 1: I had a torn bicep tenant, but no, no, no
Speaker 1: other issues there knees. I've had the A C O microfracts, yours,
Speaker 1: the M c ls, the pc l s. I mean
Speaker 1: like I've had all the alphabets. Yeah, if you need
Speaker 1: an expert on hernie A repair, I got you covered.
Speaker 1: All that other stuff I don't know, but I got
Speaker 1: schelling that one to JP. Where were your too much info?
Speaker 1: But that's okay, We're not gonna go down that path
Speaker 1: any further. We're gonna come back. I had the umbilical
Speaker 1: I had the umbilical hernia. You know where you by
Speaker 1: any became an AUTI. I remember one day I looked
Speaker 1: down and I had like a hot dog sticking out
Speaker 1: of my belly. I'm like, what the hell's going on?
Speaker 1: If I go see the doc and I'm like, doc,
Speaker 1: what's going on? And he takes his finger and he
Speaker 1: pushes the intestine back into my belly button. Then I
Speaker 1: went back to an any, I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: And he said, we have a tear in your muscle
Speaker 1: wall there, and that's why you get the little protrusion there.
Speaker 1: He goes, When that thing, you gotta be careful if
Speaker 1: it gets stuck out. You can lose the blood supply
Speaker 1: to that part of your stomach. It wouldn't be good.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm an any guy. I have an any
Speaker 1: but I had an autie for a little bit of time,
Speaker 1: about a year. Joe Fortunado would like to chime in,
Speaker 1: I'm scared of this quick. I just want to let
Speaker 1: you know I probably will never have hot dogs again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm out on that. I'm not hungry anymore.
Speaker 1: And I've opened Pandora's box and we're back in a moment.

Speaker 1: professional long time, and some guys just have a way
Speaker 1: of of how they win, how to build programs, and
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be a part of it. Charlie Strong,
Speaker 1: the assistant head coach inside linebackers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Speaker 1: joining John Osier on the ozone podcast. It was posted
Speaker 1: this morning on the Official Jaguars podcast network and many
Speaker 1: people listen to this program on the official podcast network
Speaker 1: as well. You can check out the ozone podcast the
Speaker 1: latest today. Give it five stars. It was a fantastic
Speaker 1: conversation with a guy that has been around Urban Meyer
Speaker 1: and for for a long long time. They go back
Speaker 1: to the old days at Notre Dame when they first met.
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously Strong has been an assistant at
Speaker 1: Florida through three different coaches, Spurrier, ron Zook and urban Meyer.
Speaker 1: And he himself was a head coach a number of
Speaker 1: different places. Recently last year was an analyst at Alabama
Speaker 1: and now it comes to join Urban Meyer again, Logs
Speaker 1: and you know, it's a relationship that goes back a
Speaker 1: long long way. That's why, as we mentioned earlier, he
Speaker 1: was the first Higher Urban Meyer maide on this staff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's uh, you know, when you when you
Speaker 1: take a job like that, most of your head coach
Speaker 1: is one of the things that they do is they
Speaker 1: try to surround themselves with people number one that they
Speaker 1: can trust and number two that are really good coaches.
Speaker 1: And I think Charlie Strong obviously fits both those categories
Speaker 1: for Urban Meyer and and a good higher. You know
Speaker 1: that the two have had great success together and so
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to replicate it at the NFL level.
Speaker 1: And I look forward to watching and you know, and
Speaker 1: Jp most importantly, you know, I look forward to at
Speaker 1: some point getting to know some of these coaches. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: with COVID it has changed the dynamic obviously a tremendous
Speaker 1: amount where we don't get to spend a lot of
Speaker 1: time around some of these guys. But uh, but I
Speaker 1: hope the day returns to where we can get back
Speaker 1: to a little bit more normalcy. I guess you could
Speaker 1: say when it comes to football stuff, but you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know when that's gonna happen. And I think
Speaker 1: too that even though that urban Meyer and look, some
Speaker 1: other staffs in the National Football League that are new
Speaker 1: this year have put together, obviously some great staffs, and
Speaker 1: Mark Burnell is part of a really good staff in Detroit,
Speaker 1: and I think it's unfortunate that the fan base won't
Speaker 1: get to know them, probably as well as they have
Speaker 1: in the past, just because the lack of access with COVID.
Speaker 1: So so when urban Meyer talks about how he wants
Speaker 1: to put together one of the best coaching staffs that
Speaker 1: there is to give the players the best, I just
Speaker 1: wish that the fans could get a little bit more
Speaker 1: of a glimpse into that like they have in the past.
Speaker 1: But I think that this year that may not be
Speaker 1: the case. But hopefully we can get and the Jaguars
Speaker 1: are able to get a lot of information out there,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure that some of that stuff will be
Speaker 1: put out a house. So uh. But I'm excited about
Speaker 1: Urban Staff. I mean, I'm glad that, uh, the misstep
Speaker 1: that he took by hiring Doyle was fixed. Um. I
Speaker 1: didn't really know much about about Chris Doyle when he
Speaker 1: was hired, and then obviously a lot of the questions
Speaker 1: made you read more, and obviously there was concerned there
Speaker 1: and with with that higher and one of the reasons
Speaker 1: I think that made me be concerned about is that
Speaker 1: when former players put their names on it, are willing
Speaker 1: to talk openly about it and put their names on it.
Speaker 1: Typically where they're smoked, there's fire there. And so the
Speaker 1: Jaguars rightfully corrected it. Whether you want to call it
Speaker 1: a resignation or whatever, but I think a lesson learned there,
Speaker 1: JP and uh and good to see that that was fixed,
Speaker 1: because you know, all that would have been is just
Speaker 1: a dark cloud over over a staff then and and
Speaker 1: the excitement, I mean it would have just it would
Speaker 1: have it would have brought everything down and would have
Speaker 1: taken away a lot of the excitement of what urban
Speaker 1: Meyer is doing and what the ja bars are doing,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad they fixed it well. I said this
Speaker 1: on a podcast the other day, and I understand the
Speaker 1: football reasoning behind it from urban Meyer because the guy
Speaker 1: had been in Iowa since and Iowa is not really
Speaker 1: known for getting five star players all the time. It's
Speaker 1: not Alabama where they're having top recruiting classes all the time.
Speaker 1: So basically you have to recruit and develop players into
Speaker 1: becoming better football players. And they've had success on the
Speaker 1: field there, you know, ten win seasons and such sustained success.
Speaker 1: It's not like they're winning the Big Ten every year,
Speaker 1: but they're in the picture and occasionally will go and
Speaker 1: get to the Rose Bowl and do that stuff. But
Speaker 1: they have a track record of doing that, So I
Speaker 1: get from the football perspective of that. But the other thing,
Speaker 1: uh was the prevailing issue obviously, and it overrode a
Speaker 1: lot of that in the public perception, and so the
Speaker 1: move had to be made. Now I'm curious what's going
Speaker 1: to happen moving ahead with that position. Does he have
Speaker 1: somebody in the hopper already? Do they changed the structure
Speaker 1: of how that side of the building here is set up.
Speaker 1: But that's all things we just don't know yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and that was kind of curious too, that you know,
Speaker 1: you have, you know, the supports performance type of coach,
Speaker 1: you know, which obviously can encompass a lot of areas.
Speaker 1: But when they initially announced it, boy, that job that
Speaker 1: he was gonna fill, I mean, had uh far reaching
Speaker 1: um influence in the organization. I was like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: that that doesn't make any sense, you know. I mean
Speaker 1: I don't want to put a excuse me for this,
Speaker 1: but you don't put a strength coach who is in
Speaker 1: charge of of medical training staff. I mean that didn't
Speaker 1: quite understand that. But anyway, who knows what's going to
Speaker 1: happen in the future. Um. But but like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm glad that that was fixed just because, I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just sucking the energy out of any positivity
Speaker 1: that you had generated with the hiring of urban Meyer.
Speaker 1: And uh surprised that they didn't anticipate that and not
Speaker 1: not have to have a correction. Yeah, I feel I
Speaker 1: feel like they anticipated some heat, but I don't think
Speaker 1: they expected the heat to be as hot as it was.
Speaker 1: So the change was made. Now it's moving possibly, you know,
Speaker 1: because they look good. The good thing is is that
Speaker 1: you fixed it. But I think even for some people
Speaker 1: out there, just the fact that you had to fix it,
Speaker 1: I think is for some people, JP, that's disappointing. And
Speaker 1: if some people don't want to have to have something
Speaker 1: like that to be criticized to get fixed. And most
Speaker 1: people say, well, look, if you're gonna make if we're
Speaker 1: making progress, then we shouldn't have to speak and and
Speaker 1: make ourselves heard to say what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: And to fix something like that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: In other words, the the the action that was taken
Speaker 1: initially should have taken all of this into account and
Speaker 1: should have been considered. And but but anyway, nonetheless it's
Speaker 1: in the past and and everything is is moving forward
Speaker 1: for this team. And now I think with free agency
Speaker 1: looming right around the corner and the Jaguars in such
Speaker 1: a great position financially, there's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: positivity coming to this organization because there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot of negativity for a lot of football teams this year.
Speaker 1: They are going to be struggling to find a way
Speaker 1: to get below the cap whenever they announced that, and
Speaker 1: and for JP, for a lot of teams. Man, they're
Speaker 1: all sitting back going what's the number gonna be? You know,
Speaker 1: because they're almost in a holding pattern until they find
Speaker 1: out what this number is gonna be so that they
Speaker 1: can make decisions who they have to cut and then
Speaker 1: also who can they resign. And I wish the league
Speaker 1: would make that announcement and decision sooner than later. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the National Football League and start with some
Speaker 1: of that news that came out today lugs about the
Speaker 1: league in the nflp A agreeing to increase the salary
Speaker 1: cap floor to million dollars. That will be the the
Speaker 1: low end of the salary cap. The final cap number
Speaker 1: will come after some financial reports are completed. That should
Speaker 1: be fairly soon, but they're still waiting on a couple
Speaker 1: of final things. It just let's get the number figured
Speaker 1: out and just give the teams the number. Because JP,
Speaker 1: if you've got a floor of one eighty, if all
Speaker 1: of a sudden the number becomes one five, I mean
Speaker 1: that's your decision making is altered and could be in
Speaker 1: a significant way with five million dollars of room. So
Speaker 1: I mean, look, let's let's get that number figured out
Speaker 1: so that everybody can move forward. Carson Wentz traded to
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts for its third round pick, a conditional
Speaker 1: second round pick in two that would become a first rounder.
Speaker 1: Off Wentz place seventy of the snaps this season, or
Speaker 1: seventy the Colts make the playoffs. That's Mike Garret Photo
Speaker 1: of the NFL Network, who had all those numbers earlier today.
Speaker 1: What do you think of Carson Wentz, especially in Indianapolis
Speaker 1: now twice a year. Well, first off, I hope he's
Speaker 1: the quarterback that played last year because he wasn't very
Speaker 1: good and he didn't have any rhythm, He had no confidence,
Speaker 1: and you could tell that his teammates were frustrated by
Speaker 1: his play. But if he is uh the potential m
Speaker 1: v P type candidate, which he was a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, he can be a pretty scary player because
Speaker 1: he's got great mobility and he's got some size. But
Speaker 1: you know that. I think this is another example, and
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was the other one, two guys in the
Speaker 1: same draft class that both teams paid him when they
Speaker 1: shouldn't have, and both general managers, especially Less Sneat, has
Speaker 1: made multiple mistakes with the Rams. I'm very surprised that
Speaker 1: that he's still kind of rolling along after trading away
Speaker 1: Jared Goff after giving him a lucrative contract and then
Speaker 1: having a trade away more draft equity. I mean, the
Speaker 1: Rams have like zero draft equity in the in the future,
Speaker 1: and I just I don't know how they're gonna keep
Speaker 1: building football teams in l A. But anyway, Carson Wentz, look,
Speaker 1: I hope he gets better, just because you know, I
Speaker 1: thought he was a really good player a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. But then at the same token, JP, Look,
Speaker 1: I'm all about the Jaguars, and if he ends up
Speaker 1: playing like he did last year, good for the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: And and also it hurts the cults because they had
Speaker 1: to give up draft equity. Field Yates of ESPN had
Speaker 1: this tweet today. From two thousand nine to there were
Speaker 1: twenty two first round pick quarterbacks logs. None of those
Speaker 1: guys are with their original team anymore. Wins was the
Speaker 1: last holdout today. That's crazy, yeah, which is which is
Speaker 1: pretty amazing, And uh, it just goes to show you
Speaker 1: how much I don't want to say a crap shoot,
Speaker 1: but there's no guarantees even with the first overall picking
Speaker 1: the draft. I mean, because you're talking about the first
Speaker 1: overall picking the draft and in the second overall picking
Speaker 1: the draft that just got traded this year, I mean,
Speaker 1: and Carson Winson, Jared Golf. I mean, so I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to to be Debbie Downer here when it comes
Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence, but I'm just saying, look, just because
Speaker 1: somebody's picked number one overall at the quarterback physician doesn't
Speaker 1: make them automatically gonna be a great player. You know,
Speaker 1: you hope that they're gonna be the Peyton Mannings or
Speaker 1: the John Elways or you know, the franchise type guys,
Speaker 1: and uh, but uh, that's not a guarantee. And finally,
Speaker 1: J J. Watt, a free agent cut by the Texans
Speaker 1: this week. I think he's a Hall of Famer already.
Speaker 1: He's still got some years left. And where do you
Speaker 1: think he lands? Loves? What would be the best spot
Speaker 1: for him? Quickly in a minute, Well, I mean, look, Uh,
Speaker 1: everybody's talked about a couple of different landing spots. There's
Speaker 1: been talked that he's excited about maybe going to Cleveland,
Speaker 1: maybe going back to going to Pittsburgh to play with
Speaker 1: his brothers. But Pittsburgh has series at issues. Buffalo is
Speaker 1: in the mix, supposedly, and j J would like to
Speaker 1: try to win a championship. Um the reality is is
Speaker 1: that j J is not going to command the type
Speaker 1: of money that he has in the past because he
Speaker 1: doesn't play to that level anymore. He's still a very
Speaker 1: good football player, but he's not an m VP candidate
Speaker 1: anymore like he was a year and a year out
Speaker 1: for a while. But he can help a team, there's
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And I think he's also got
Speaker 1: to be able to limit some of his snaps. But
Speaker 1: who knows where he's gonna end done. We'll find out,
Speaker 1: probably sooner rather than later. He says he's no rush,
Speaker 1: He's got some time. He's a free agent now. We'll
Speaker 1: see what the market holds Logs will talk to you
Speaker 1: again next week. Had a great weekend, Joe Fortunato, Brent Reaverer,
Speaker 1: Thanks to Jimmy Luck. I'm j P. Shadrick. Will catch
Speaker 1: you next time. Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network.
