When you're 14 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: looking at the production that you had from Christian Kirk 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: and Zay Jones in particular, they both have big cap numbers. 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: You both you expect both of them will be a 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: part of your program going for for several years. With 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, so there's plenty of room there. There's room 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: with Foya Loukhan and fully fought to Kassi. What's interesting 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: is those are about it from from total restructures, I 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: guess you could redo Cam Robinson. Well, you can also 22 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: redo the guys that are Ray Sean Jenkins, Roy Robinson, Harris, 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: see not Agneta. That's where I'm going with this, because 24 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: there are some guys that you may not be able 25 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: to keep right right. So if you take Ray Robertson 26 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: Harris who has an eight million dollar cap figure, right 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: Jamal Agnew, I'm sorry, roberts and Harris would save you 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: eight million. This is outright cut. This is not restructure. 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: Agnew four and a half, Jenkins six, Shack Griffin, who 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: I think we all expect we'll give you thirteen. You 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: could pick up the cap room you need right there. 32 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: That's thirty one and a half. But the first three 33 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,559 Speaker 1: I believe you can also work with their con totally 34 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: camp totally can. There's two ways to go, I guess 35 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to say. One is you could 36 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: just massively cut and try to restock, or you can restructure. 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: There's two ways to do that. One is with the 38 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: guys that you know are going to be here, and 39 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: one are with guys that you'd like to keep for 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: a couple more years yet, and I think the key 41 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: is Christian and Zay to me seem very logical in this. 42 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: And we don't really know for sure how Trent Balky 43 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: thinks about this, because most gms don't really lay out 44 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: their whole plan on this, so we have to sort 45 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: of assume where they're going and sort of what his 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: philosophy is. So it absolutely stands to reason and some 47 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: of that Christian Kirk you looked at him this year, 48 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: you can easily see him being what I call a 49 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: life or free agent, and many free agents aren't. Many 50 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: free agents are signed essentially now for two years, and 51 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: then with the option of being able to let those 52 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: guys go, they almost sign two year deals and then 53 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: fans get mad when they get released. Oh they screwed 54 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: up the cap. Well it's not because a lot of 55 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: those guys were signed for two years. Christian and Zay 56 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: played like guys, like you say, long term guys, So 57 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: they are guys where you can all of a sudden 58 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: find some money push it out. Also with those two guys, 59 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna say particularly Christian, but really both of them, 60 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: they gave no signs this year of being take the 61 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: money and run guys. You don't want to extend guys 62 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: who you think are near the end or who aren't motivated. 63 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: Both of those guys want to be here, want to 64 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: be part of it, so they make sense. So there's 65 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: options restructure, right, there's these four guys and the other 66 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: three we mentioned, Roy Robertson, Harris Jamal Agnew and ray 67 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: Sean Jenkins. Guys, we assume you'd want to have around 68 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: or theirs. Restructure and release, right, Let some guys go 69 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: make room for other guys that you want on the roster. 70 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: That's the key conversation that Bulky and Doug Peterson and 71 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: their stabs have either already have are in the middle 72 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: of having right now Jack's Drivetime Tuesday mornings on Jaguars 73 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: dot Com and Jack's social media. Now to the Huddle 74 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: Up Podcast. Wednesday, Bucky Brooks joined John Ozer and me 75 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: on the phone from New Orleans. He's preparing to cover 76 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: the HBCU Legacy Bowl this Saturday. Our conversation included suspended 77 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver Calvin Ridley, his application to the NFL for reinstatement, 78 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: and the possible next steps well Calvin Ridley has applied 79 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: for reinstatement with the NFL. As of right now, as 80 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: of this taping, at least, there has been no ruling 81 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: on his return by the NFL, and I guess there's 82 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: really no true timetable on his return, Bucky. But when 83 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: he's back, I'm sure he'll make the rounds and all 84 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'd be jumping in there with Trevor 85 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: Lawrence and trying to get as caught up as he 86 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: can in a hurry. He's been out of the game 87 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: for let's face it, a year and a half at least, 88 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: you know, miss last season, miss most of the season 89 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: before that. It's going to take a little bit of 90 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: an acclamation to get him back aboard. Yeah, we will 91 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: take him sometime. I mean, two years away from the 92 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: game is a long time. But I did some research. 93 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: I called them around, talk to a couple of guys 94 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: that worked with the Falcons, coaches and scouts, and they say, look, man, 95 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Kelvin Brillly is phenomenal, a phenomenal player, A true number 96 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: one in terms of a guy who can command the 97 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: double team, who can defeat a double team, who can 98 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: achor a passing game, and so when you think about 99 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: adding that into what is already established in Jacksonville, when 100 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: you think about Christian Kirk and Evan Ingram if he's 101 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: brought back, and you think about Dave Jones, and you know, 102 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: who knows what happens with Marvin Jones. But when you 103 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: bring those guys all together, you now are surrounding Trevor 104 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: Lawrence with the kind of talent that should allow him 105 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: to take another jump next year when the season kicks off. 106 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of questions about the timetable on this, 107 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 1: and I think people maybe you don't follow the league 108 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: that closely expect a lot of times around the league, 109 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: you sort of know things are going to happen at 110 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: a certain time, and there's differ from reports on things, 111 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: and you feel like the insiders sort of know what's 112 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: going to happen with this sort of thing. Though it's 113 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: not unusual for there not to be a timetable, and 114 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: it's not unusual for there really not to be any 115 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: lead information, if you know what I'm getting at JP, 116 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: there's not you know, when it's up to the Commissioner's 117 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: office to grant reinstatement, it's usually sort of an out 118 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: of the blue announcement is what I'm getting at. And 119 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: there's really not a timetable. You know, there's no concern 120 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: that it hasn't happened yet, I guess, is my point. 121 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: I've been getting some email as well. Why hasn't the 122 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: commissioner announced it? Is it weird that it's taking so long. 123 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: There's really no weirdness to it. It's just at some 124 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: point I expect from the start of the new league 125 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: year there'll be an announcement. It'll teams don't really get 126 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: a feel for it, is why information doesn't get out, 127 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: if that makes any sense. A lot of times, if 128 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: teams have a feel for something, their reporters will sort 129 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: of hear it and you can hint around at it. 130 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: With this sort of thing, there's no information flowing to 131 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: the team. So it'll happen. I can't imagine he won't 132 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: be reinstated. We just don't know when yet. Yeah, I mean, 133 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: I think it's all TVD But you're right when you're 134 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: talking about the calendar the Duke League year, it happened 135 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: somewhere around all that time, and so it's coming and 136 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: when he is reinstated looking to be a great time 137 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: for him to get back. I'm sure he'll come to 138 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: Jackson here pretty quick and kind of figure out the 139 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: land of land, make the rounds, meet all the coaches 140 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: and those things, try and get the field for the 141 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: off season program and the workouts that he can be 142 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: doing in anticipation of getting ready in April. But no 143 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: like for him, this off season is really important because 144 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: he has been away. He is playing on a one 145 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: year deal, and so Calvin Ridley will be very motivated 146 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: to be at his best when everyone comes together because 147 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: he wants to show improve to everybody that look the 148 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: guy that we last saw, the one who took Julio 149 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: Jones's place, He's still that guy that was his friend's 150 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: top five receiver. And one reason I think will happen 151 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: for the league year or two JP I s only 152 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: thing it would happen before the April seventeenth started the 153 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: offseason program the league. If they're going to reinstate him, 154 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: which I believe they will, they like success stories along 155 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: these lines too, and you would not want to wait 156 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: until May June to reinstate. If you're going to reinstate 157 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, which I believe they will, they would want 158 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: to do it as soon as possible to give him 159 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: the chance. If you gonna let him come back, let 160 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: him come back as strong as possible. That's why I 161 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: cannot imagine this taking past the league year, because then 162 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: you're for what reason would you be punishing the team 163 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: and the player for that sort of thing. At this point, 164 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: the punishment should be over if they're going to reinstate him. 165 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: I think that's how to play out.

Let's go to 194 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour Radio Thursday afternoon. No Jeff Logaman this week, 195 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: so we were jam packed with guests including Pride of 196 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, for the first time 197 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: in a few years, there are no major organizational changes 198 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: on the football side for the Jaguars, and that can 199 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: go a long way. That's a huge step if you 200 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: can get to that point where you're stable from one 201 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: year to the next. It just hasn't happened in a 202 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: few years around here, and you can't really underestimate the 203 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: importance of that. Once you begin the offseason program. You know, yeah, 204 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm with you at a million percent this time. I 205 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: usually see a thousand percent, but a million percent this time. 206 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: JP in that I used to say it all the time. 207 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: You know, consistency, that's what it takes you at least 208 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: that's the foundation of growing and going further and being 209 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: finding that success, finding your way deeper in the playoffs, 210 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. You gotta have consistency. You gotta 211 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: have players in the system that are returning each and 212 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: every year. You know, maybe a nucleus nucleus of eight 213 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: of the eleven guys. Guys you want to make sure 214 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: that they're returning each and every year so that they 215 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: can play fast. And it doesn't take much for a coordinator. 216 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: They get the young girl, the newer guys, you know, 217 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: are ingrained and situated in the system. I always looked 218 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: at a team such as the Pittsburgh Steelers. They were 219 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: the one team that, you know, for eight nineteen year period, 220 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: you see the same guys on that defense, you look 221 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: on the offense. For the most part, it's the same guys. 222 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: It's a plug and play type of system. Uh, And 223 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: you have to have that consistency. So back in the day, 224 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: JA I can remember vividly, you know, under the Del 225 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 1: Rio regime, it was a new coach, like two or 226 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: three new coaches or someone fired each and every off season. 227 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, you're playing chess. These guys are puns and 228 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: your you know, crazy, you know, distractionary mindset. I don't know, 229 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: you sort of deflect from what you're doing by getting 230 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: rid of everybody else when you simply suggest start with yourself. 231 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: And I think we have so much integrity from top 232 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: down now, you know, starting with Doug Peterson, and it 233 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: trickles throughout his staff, I believe. So I look forward 234 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: to watching this team grow over the next couple of years. 235 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: Later in the show, former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf. He 236 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: went from the number two overall pick in nineteen ninety 237 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: eight to an underwhelming four year NFL career, to an 238 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: addiction to painkillers, to prison, to recovery, and now to 239 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: a life of service to those with similar issues. He 240 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: also now fills his played as an analyst for NFL Network, 241 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: ESPN College Football, Sirius, XM Radio, Westwood one Radio, and 242 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: Points Bet. We discussed Trevor Lawrence's next move after a 243 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: fantastic finish to season number two. Oh well, I think 244 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: there's a ton to build off of, right. I think 245 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: there was an incredible success. There was a winning a division. 246 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: There's getting to the playoffs, and there's also the mindset 247 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: that one can struggle right and find a way to 248 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: overcome the fact that I just you know, I only 249 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: threw four interceptions a couple times in my career, but 250 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: I there's no way if I threw four in the 251 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: first half, there's I would have had the four to 252 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: two to come back and do what he did in 253 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: the playoff game against the Chargers. I Mean, that's the 254 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: individual that he is is he can throw it away, 255 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: you know, put it behind him and move on, and 256 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: the guys trust him and Doug Peterson's going to continue. 257 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: We watch the jump from year one to year two. 258 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: That's where I always, buddy, everybody looks at and I 259 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: know this is year three form, but he really didn't 260 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: have a year one and everybody should understand that fully. 261 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: Urban Meyer was an absolute just you know, dumpster fire 262 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: for a young rookie quarterback like that. And so what 263 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's been able to bring to the table this 264 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: year and how he's performed, I think is so special. 265 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: I expect to big leap a big jump, especially taking 266 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: care of the football a year from now, and just 267 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: hearing him talk like he gets his role in the 268 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: organization and what he says matters and how he goes 269 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: about that, and I think that he has the respect 270 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: to that locker room too. You have to earn that 271 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: kind of thing, and I think he has so far, right, Yeah, 272 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: you do. I mean it's but I mean the performance 273 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: in the second half alone in a playoff game, when 274 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: everybody in in their dog would have just packed it 275 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: in and said, oh, start licking their wounds, let's get 276 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: ready for next year, you know, to stay the course. 277 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: And so everybody in that locker room got to witness 278 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: what I think everybody had seen all year long. The 279 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: work ethic, you know, the championship quality level of him. 280 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: And you know, he's set himself up and with the 281 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: coaching change, they've set themselves up the young talent all 282 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: around the roster. They continue to make great moves on 283 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: the roster in terms of what they do putting together 284 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: that kind of talent, young talent, in fact, hitting it 285 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: right in the draft. The Jags are gonna gonna be 286 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: a team, right, They're gonna be a team that that 287 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: vis for a championship, and that's difficult in such a 288 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: packed AFC. I mean, on the list, they're probably you know, 289 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: they're behind Kensley, They're behind Cincinnati, they're behind Buffalo. You 290 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: could argue they're behind Los Angeles right with the quarterbacks 291 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: in terms of play, but Trevor is going to take 292 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: them to a new level, right and those I mean, 293 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: the AFC over the next decade is going to be 294 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: just so fun to watch because it's gonna be so 295 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: darn competitive. Quarterbacks, pass rushers, everybody's got them. In the AFC. 296 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: It feels like Ryan Leaf is with us, and well, 297 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: I mean, the quickest path to the playoffs is to 298 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: win the division obviously, so in the AFC South right now, Ryan, 299 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: I mean the Jaguars are in the catbirds seat. That 300 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: feels like the Titans are trimming guys to get down 301 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: to the salary cap. They did. They cut four guys 302 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: the other day and the running back isn't getting anything younger. 303 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: By the way, Houston has a long way to go. 304 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: New coach Indy doesn't have a quarterback. We'll see what 305 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: they do. But I mean, the Jaguars should be in 306 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: command of this division for a little bit, you hope, 307 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: So let's say so, I'd be interested to see what 308 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: Indy does, whether they try to make a move to 309 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: draft a quarterback, or if they try to make some 310 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: big swing at one of these franchise quarterbacks that may 311 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: go on the market, Lamar Jackson being one of them. 312 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: What should they do? What should they do? In your opinion, 313 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: then Ryan in Indy, I would trade away. I would 314 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: trade away whatever they needed to to get Lamar Jackson 315 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: if he's not given the exclusive tag, and then you know, 316 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: build around that. I think you add that. I think 317 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: the defense is good, and I think what they have 318 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: been looking for is a veteran quarterback. They just have 319 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: been they needed a young, venturing quarterback. Carson Wentz wasn't 320 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: the answer clearly, that's something I would do. I'd look around. 321 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: I understand that Bryce Young. It's just so hard to 322 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: know whether or not a first round quarterback is going 323 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: to make it or not. The right place doesn't matter. 324 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: You could be the greatest player in the world. You 325 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: don't go to the right place, circumstances, all the things 326 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: that there just isn't a Trevor Lawrence in this year's 327 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: draft or Joe Burrow. So you know, why are you 328 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: willing to take what you know and Lamar Jackson's is 329 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: an MVP in this league?
