Speaker 1: It is Thursday, July. This is Jaguars Happy Hour, and
Speaker 1: now a guy who's really getting tired of hearing Oh,
Speaker 1: I thought that was your mask j Peace. I'm used
Speaker 1: to it. People have been asking me to mask up
Speaker 1: for years. Jaguars Happy Hour back from a Midsummer break.
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick from the home studio. Still who knows
Speaker 1: when that will change either, By the way, one of
Speaker 1: the things we don't know right now in mid July,
Speaker 1: with training camp schedule to begin right around the corner
Speaker 1: of a couple of weeks away from when veterans would report,
Speaker 1: but will they still at that point as a big question?
Speaker 1: Lots to get to. Today, we'll hear from all of
Speaker 1: our big three Ton't selling Jaguars analysts, joins us John
Speaker 1: Oh's your senior writer Jaguars dot Com, and then Jack's
Speaker 1: analyst Jeff Loghuman will go around the National Football League
Speaker 1: as well, catch you up on some of the bigger
Speaker 1: news from around the league, including what's happening in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. We'll get to that. Well, we don't know
Speaker 1: much yet, but there are rumors of a story coming
Speaker 1: out of the Word Post at some point, maybe as
Speaker 1: early as tomorrow. Let's go to the phone lines now
Speaker 1: and welcome in. Prior to the Jaguars Left tackle and
Speaker 1: Jaguars analysts, Tony was Selly, Tony, good afternoon, and how
Speaker 1: are you so? What's up? JP? I didn't appreciate the
Speaker 1: start of the show. I thought it was very mean
Speaker 1: spirited about saying, uh, you wearing a mask? I mean
Speaker 1: that was I thought that was uncalled for. But it's
Speaker 1: it's par for the course, you know. I well, thanks,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. That's nice of you. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do my part. I'm gonna wear my mask like you
Speaker 1: asked everybody to do early in this thing. Maybe quit
Speaker 1: you should wear your mask in respect to others, especially indoors. Um,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying you don't need a mask because your
Speaker 1: look like Wow, that's like the nicest thing you ever
Speaker 1: said to me, Tony. The things have turned, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean it's cod cod cod. You've you've you've changed
Speaker 1: your tone over the time. Here. Um, we got planning
Speaker 1: to talk about here, Tony. Let's start with the Let's
Speaker 1: start with the quay stuff, all right. I mean that
Speaker 1: we the deadline came and went where they had to
Speaker 1: agree to a long term deal. Obviously no deal, there's
Speaker 1: been no trade. Um, you know, he's still said that
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to play here. So what now? What
Speaker 1: is next? Is he gonna be dealt at some point?
Speaker 1: Is he gonna have to sit it out? Or is
Speaker 1: he going to sign it and play? What do you think? Yeah? Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, didn't it feel like, you know, Wednesday
Speaker 1: or you know, actually the Tuesday going into yeah, should
Speaker 1: they kind a deadline? That this was almost like treated
Speaker 1: by his agent to get some conversation going. That's what
Speaker 1: it felt like. I don't know that because it's not
Speaker 1: like anything like all of a sudden like okay, like
Speaker 1: now we're gonna dial up the conversation because it was
Speaker 1: the last time for this year, this football year, that
Speaker 1: and go Colin could be traded and find a long
Speaker 1: term deal. So it felt like and again I am
Speaker 1: just making this up as a feeling. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is just me thinking out loud that it felt like
Speaker 1: it was like something of good agent would do going
Speaker 1: here right now. Um, I just have a hard time believing,
Speaker 1: um that the Jacks are going to get at this point,
Speaker 1: especially in this with all the unknowns around COVID and
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen and when the season started, how many
Speaker 1: games are you gonna get in and start or even
Speaker 1: able to finish when these are all unknowns, Like I
Speaker 1: think it's all gonna like they're gonna figure out and
Speaker 1: I think they play this year. But if you're a team,
Speaker 1: are you gonna trade a first or second rounder to
Speaker 1: the Jaguars for a guy that you can't lock up
Speaker 1: and there's no guarantee is gonna be on your team
Speaker 1: beyond next year? And by the way, you're to pay
Speaker 1: him to take up you know, almost eighteen million dollars
Speaker 1: your cat. So if you're the Jags, why would you
Speaker 1: trade him for anything less than a first or second
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get a third and a uh compensatory
Speaker 1: pick if he leaves in free agency, you know, in
Speaker 1: the following year. So I don't reason if you're the
Speaker 1: Jags you trade them for a third rounder? Is you're
Speaker 1: just like, you know what, I just want them out
Speaker 1: of here. I want loft the books. I don't want
Speaker 1: to pay uh. And so that's all to day like
Speaker 1: cause I say all that kind of think out loud.
Speaker 1: I just think he's here, Now what he does he play?
Speaker 1: Or not. That's the that's I think he does. I
Speaker 1: I don't think he walks away from almost eighteen million
Speaker 1: dollars this year if they end up playing, um the
Speaker 1: whole see and so. But that's what I see it
Speaker 1: as we stick today. Tony was selly with us, proud
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars left tackle, and yeah, it was it
Speaker 1: was interesting seeing all these news stories pop up about
Speaker 1: it because it's like we're sitting right here. Nothing is
Speaker 1: different than it was two weeks ago. You know, nothing
Speaker 1: has changed. Yeah, it would be great to really understand
Speaker 1: what was real, what was And I'm really curious Tony too,
Speaker 1: to see there was those reports about other teams had
Speaker 1: offered the Jaguars whatever, including a former Pro Bowl defensive lineman.
Speaker 1: That was kind of vague, but I'd be curiously curious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: former Pro Bowl offensive I mean defensive lineman. Okay, what
Speaker 1: does that mean? Is that? Like he was the fifth
Speaker 1: alternated it one year, Um, he was the best defensive
Speaker 1: lineman in the league. You know, there's like a big
Speaker 1: range when you say former Pro Bowl player. I'm not
Speaker 1: taking anything away from those guys. But then and what's
Speaker 1: his age, which is injury history? I mean so you
Speaker 1: start hearing these dag reports and I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: you know that they're not the jag should or should
Speaker 1: not have done it. We just don't know enough. But
Speaker 1: it's obvious because the Jaguars, I mean, the one thing
Speaker 1: that is clear that Dave cart Well you know, and
Speaker 1: Doug Browne under Sean kom will train players if you
Speaker 1: give them the right value. It's not like they're like,
Speaker 1: don't trade them with the right values there, So what
Speaker 1: what what you know? The story here to me is
Speaker 1: that they were never given the right value. Uh, in
Speaker 1: combination with a team be on the lock up for
Speaker 1: the long, long term deal Tony Boselli with us. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the big story now is what's going to happen with
Speaker 1: training camp, preseason games, if there are any, and then
Speaker 1: the protocol at getting players back in the building. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are some teams Tony that rookies report I believe
Speaker 1: in like two days from now, allegedly that's on the schedule. Um,
Speaker 1: but there are no official show protocols that have been
Speaker 1: announced in place. The players association in the league are
Speaker 1: still negotiating some of these and uh, you know, we're
Speaker 1: two weeks out from veterans reporting for the Jags. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean you go through the issues.
Speaker 1: I mean some are pretty easy. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think a big deals that didn't to get over. You know,
Speaker 1: test every day and the other day. Okay, you can
Speaker 1: come to that. I mean, that's something you can figure out. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, the preseason is is a sticking point. Owners
Speaker 1: want to players want none. I would go towards zero
Speaker 1: two because if you're not gonna have fans, what's the
Speaker 1: point it's it's at that point just about I guess
Speaker 1: you get some TV local TV money, you know, in advertising,
Speaker 1: that could help out. But you have the cost of
Speaker 1: traveling as well. So I mean, uh, I mean I
Speaker 1: think you can figure that one out. But I get
Speaker 1: you know, you know, that's a that's a bargaining ship.
Speaker 1: But the big one is this is the owners want
Speaker 1: to say, hey, wait at second. There's two big ones.
Speaker 1: One is owners want to say, you know, uh are
Speaker 1: saying that if you at coronavirus or COVID nineteen, it's
Speaker 1: the non football injury. And the players are saying, wait
Speaker 1: it secon nice to be a football injury. That's a
Speaker 1: big deal because that determines whether the club I pay
Speaker 1: you or not. Um, we're missing games, um. And I
Speaker 1: would say in the in these times that if you're
Speaker 1: doing what you're supposed to do in your quarantine and
Speaker 1: you're just you know, playing football and you're trying to
Speaker 1: be a pro, and you get COVID nineteen, that should
Speaker 1: be a football injury. The second one, that's the biggest one.
Speaker 1: I think there's this whole idea of s growing you
Speaker 1: know what I've heard of the player's salaries, saying not
Speaker 1: saying that they won't get it, but scrowing it and saying,
Speaker 1: if you know, we can't finish the season or at
Speaker 1: some point you know, we're not gonna pay it. And
Speaker 1: the reason that's important because for all the invested veterans,
Speaker 1: if you play one game, one play really then your
Speaker 1: contract becomes guaranteed for the rest of the year. And
Speaker 1: so if you're if you're the owners, you're concerns like, okay, great,
Speaker 1: we play week while we play week two. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: all hell breaks boosts and this gets worse and we
Speaker 1: can't play football anylonger. They don't want to be on
Speaker 1: the hook for the rest of the year for the
Speaker 1: players salaries, but by the letter of the c b A,
Speaker 1: they would be because they're guaranteed after game one, and
Speaker 1: so I think they're saying, like, listen, we'll pay our
Speaker 1: guaranteed money, but the rest we're gonna put like in
Speaker 1: some scrow and uh and if we can't finish, you know,
Speaker 1: we get that money back. And the players are like no.
Speaker 1: And so that's the big one. I think you have
Speaker 1: to figure out, which, by the way, makes sense to
Speaker 1: me if I'm an owner. That seems fair. I don't
Speaker 1: think the owners are trying to get over in players
Speaker 1: or anything the sending to pay their guaranteed money. It's
Speaker 1: about the money as far as salary. And if you
Speaker 1: can't move forward because of UH, because of whatever reason
Speaker 1: you know around COVID, I think that's fair because also
Speaker 1: in that kind of negotiation, you're also talking about what
Speaker 1: do you do with the salary captain next year because
Speaker 1: local revenue is gonna be way down um, Advertising and
Speaker 1: marketing dollars gonna be way down UM, and so the
Speaker 1: shared revenue that goes to set the cap outside of TV.
Speaker 1: And by the way, if TV is affected, it could
Speaker 1: be down as well. And all of a sudden now
Speaker 1: you have a cap that goes down next year, Well
Speaker 1: guess what happens. You have to cut a bunch of
Speaker 1: players because you can't afford them. And so I think
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out, like, those are the kinds
Speaker 1: of conversations that's gonna get kind of sticky that you
Speaker 1: got to figure out, like how do you handle that? Um?
Speaker 1: And hopefully both sides can be reasonable both sides and
Speaker 1: come to an agreement looking at the big picture, I
Speaker 1: mean equitable understanding that you know what you like each side.
Speaker 1: You have to give a little bit. This is these
Speaker 1: are unprecedented times and because of where we sit, you know,
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a little bit of sacrifice.
Speaker 1: But everybody, Tony, we saw how how ugly the baseball
Speaker 1: negotiation got. I don't know how much you followed that before.
Speaker 1: They finally agreed to play the sixty games schedule, but
Speaker 1: it took them an extra month to get to that,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't pretty between the Players Association, but the
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball Players Association and Major League Baseball. But
Speaker 1: they finally got to it. I mean, but it was
Speaker 1: do you fore I couldn't foresee this one getting that
Speaker 1: UM ugly. I guess right. I mean they're pretty close. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty close. I think both sides understand
Speaker 1: that that's not good for anybody. That's a bad look,
Speaker 1: that turns fans off. I think that hurts the brand.
Speaker 1: I think both sides will figure this out. Um, it's hard,
Speaker 1: it's not easy. You're asking. You know, these are big
Speaker 1: dollars and a lot of these are people's livelihoods, these
Speaker 1: are their investments. I mean, this is important stuff. So
Speaker 1: I think, but I think they'll get get through it,
Speaker 1: um in a much you know, smoother, you know, less
Speaker 1: you know, abrasive and public, in a public manner like
Speaker 1: the baseball to let's hope. So at least, I don't
Speaker 1: think you know, they got some I mean everyone's pushing
Speaker 1: for these dates, like, hey, you know, football a supposed
Speaker 1: to start in two days and three days or whatever.
Speaker 1: Erkan's aroundy is you start cutting preseason games, you know,
Speaker 1: at two even, let's say you go to zero. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to start next week and
Speaker 1: have you know, seven weeks of camp with no preseason
Speaker 1: I know one person who would love that, but he's
Speaker 1: no longer around here. So yeah, So I mean, I
Speaker 1: think there's some like there's something that we have a
Speaker 1: little bit of time. I think they're talking, and I
Speaker 1: do think they figured it out. Tony was elly with
Speaker 1: us on Jaguars Happy Hour. Another announcement fairly recently by
Speaker 1: the organization the Jaguars reducing capacity this year at the
Speaker 1: stadium to cent just under seventeen thousand all season tickets.
Speaker 1: Returned payments can be refunded or credited to the season
Speaker 1: ticket holder accounts for tickets this season or next. The question, though,
Speaker 1: Tony is um access Who gets those seventeen thousand seats
Speaker 1: is it's a probably a match of tenure. Uh, the
Speaker 1: amount spent, the types of tickets, sponsorship all has a
Speaker 1: hand in this thing. And I think that's the challenge
Speaker 1: not only for the Jaguars, but for every organization in
Speaker 1: football right now, is to figure out, if it's reduced,
Speaker 1: if it's allowed to be open, first of all, who
Speaker 1: gets those of tickets. That's that's a tough challenge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tough, And like listen, I mean, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: some people are just gonna opt out because they're afraid
Speaker 1: and they don't want to risk getting exposed, which is
Speaker 1: you know, so I'll take a you know, a good
Speaker 1: portion of the people out off the table as far
Speaker 1: as wanting tickets, but you're still not gonna have enough
Speaker 1: tickets for the demand, especially if you end up being good.
Speaker 1: You know early will be demand and you're not gonna
Speaker 1: have enough. But if you stink and you lose a
Speaker 1: bunch of games, well, all of a sudden, it won't
Speaker 1: be that big a deal who gets to go or not,
Speaker 1: because not very many people are gonna be risking their
Speaker 1: health and getting COVID to watch a bad football team.
Speaker 1: On the flip side, if all of a a sudden, you know, Mints,
Speaker 1: you and the team and the young players play well
Speaker 1: and they're an exciting fun team to watch and you
Speaker 1: look up and they're like fighting for the play off
Speaker 1: and the division will now it's a real issue because
Speaker 1: everybody wants to go and uh and so it'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: I think they'll be you know, there's some tough moments
Speaker 1: to work through, and you know, good news is I
Speaker 1: think bark lamping leadership and Chad Johnson over ticketing. I
Speaker 1: mean they're gonna figure that out. Um, it won't be perfect,
Speaker 1: and I just hope everyone's really patient because I think
Speaker 1: you're gonna be the best they can in that area.
Speaker 1: And then what you hope for is that there's thinking
Speaker 1: beating at the gate with more tickets sometime in like
Speaker 1: the late November December, like people are like just just
Speaker 1: freaking out because they can't get tickets. Because what that
Speaker 1: tells you, like you have a pretty good football team,
Speaker 1: Like that's good, Like now people really want to be there.
Speaker 1: So let's hope that hope that it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: problem early, and I hope it becomes a really big
Speaker 1: problem by the end because it beat your one football
Speaker 1: that approach. For sure, Tony's gonna talk to you. It's
Speaker 1: been a few weeks, man, and I'm glad to do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're awesome. I'm still trying to figure out, you know
Speaker 1: what this means for you know us. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna you know, there's all this tier approach, tiered approach,
Speaker 1: and you know, some of my favorite times of the
Speaker 1: years training camp, we're gonna go hang out. We watched
Speaker 1: a little practice, but more than eight than we just
Speaker 1: hang out and talk and have a good time. So
Speaker 1: I'm not sure we'll be doing that this year. I
Speaker 1: think it's you and I are in like tier nine
Speaker 1: or ten or whatever. I don't know how many tiers
Speaker 1: might be a tier for you and I. They might
Speaker 1: have just quit tears, stay at home. There's please don't come. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's the trick too, is access into the office, and
Speaker 1: you know it's it's taken a little time to get
Speaker 1: to the point they are now, but then you started
Speaker 1: interacting with players. It's a totally different animal. We'll find
Speaker 1: out in the coming days. Um what happens here, you know, Tony,
Speaker 1: get stuff. Great talking to you. I'll catch up with
Speaker 1: you soon, all right. J Tony Bailly, Proud of the

Speaker 1: Tony was selling probly the Jaguars left tackle for joining
Speaker 1: us as always and John Oshan, Jaguars dot Com senior
Speaker 1: Reyner joins us now over the phone line. Good afternoon, John, JP.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard the last promo before
Speaker 1: the spot was that Frank Frankie's gonna be talking to
Speaker 1: it every day is three sounds like a threat US.
Speaker 1: I don't think let go through with it. I'm kidding. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. Always good to hear from Franks, no doubt, John,
Speaker 1: how you've been buddy. Has been a few weeks and
Speaker 1: some downtime here and we're back on the show today
Speaker 1: for the first time in about a month. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, do you know, j P. July
Speaker 1: is always sort of about rasseting back up. You know,
Speaker 1: you have your normal NFL body clock where many camp
Speaker 1: usually wraps up around June. We all sort of know
Speaker 1: the date and then this time of year you start
Speaker 1: of rashing it back up and this is this is
Speaker 1: such a weird ramp back up, very well, everybody's ready
Speaker 1: to go. I think everybody who's worked in this even
Speaker 1: more than a year, it feels like it's time to start,
Speaker 1: and yet there's so many questions. We all met today
Speaker 1: virtually sort of figure out some of the access thing,
Speaker 1: and there's still just so many questions that we're all ready.
Speaker 1: I think fans are ready, and yet every day it
Speaker 1: feels like there's still Okay, that's how it's gonna be. Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it, that's how it's gonna be. So it's it's, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we've been talking on this show for three
Speaker 1: or four months. The off season was weird and unprecedented,
Speaker 1: and you just get the idea that what's coming is
Speaker 1: going to be just as interesting and just as fascinating
Speaker 1: to follow. Yeah. Yeah, the runway to get off the
Speaker 1: ground for the season has a lot of potholes in
Speaker 1: it right now, John, that's kind of a good way
Speaker 1: to look at it. It's like, and it changes constantly
Speaker 1: the further you get down the runway here. And I
Speaker 1: don't know how confident I am right now that with
Speaker 1: everything going on with the players Association and the league,
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be as bad as baseball um,
Speaker 1: was that that whole situation, But you know it might
Speaker 1: be a little bit. I don't know if this will
Speaker 1: be fixed tomorrow and ready to show up. And I
Speaker 1: think that's the scary people. Yeah, and you probably feel
Speaker 1: the same way I do. It's impossible. It's impossible to
Speaker 1: predict with COVID because there are so many there is,
Speaker 1: there are so many questions that and education that has
Speaker 1: to be done to such a large group of people. Mean,
Speaker 1: you've got what players, and they all sort of see
Speaker 1: COVID in their own way. I mean, like if you
Speaker 1: and I got together and talked about this thing, we
Speaker 1: would probably have different opinions and views and concerns just
Speaker 1: because the scientists do. And and so when you're dealing
Speaker 1: with having to educate the masses and then get them
Speaker 1: to understand and say, okay, that's the risk I want
Speaker 1: to take, and then you're trying to do it as
Speaker 1: a group to try to figure out how logistics are
Speaker 1: gonna be there's a lot I don't think that they're
Speaker 1: going to be practicing. Uh, I'll put this way. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if they are not practicing on what
Speaker 1: we all think of as a normal first practice date.
Speaker 1: You know, what would that be August three or August
Speaker 1: spurts for that to get delayed. I think that feels
Speaker 1: like that's probably pretty normal for for professional sports trying
Speaker 1: to come back to have a little delay. I well,
Speaker 1: they have preseason games, you know, I'm skeptical will they
Speaker 1: start the regular season on the normal regular season starting date.
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling that they'll figure out a
Speaker 1: way to do that, probably because it's there's so much
Speaker 1: motivation to do so, meaning money and meaning everything else.
Speaker 1: John oser, Seen writer Jaguars dot Com with us the
Speaker 1: big news today. You know, it's not even really news anymore.
Speaker 1: This is not you know, Um, the Jags first round
Speaker 1: picks signed his contract today. That's not really news anymore
Speaker 1: because they're all going to sign the contract because there
Speaker 1: they don't have to hold out or anything anymore. But
Speaker 1: he is here, that we got him, John, he's here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I had a chance to talk to CJ. And
Speaker 1: the story run on the site. Uh, you know, hour
Speaker 1: and a half or so. Um, you know it, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's not news. It's always good. I'm gonna talk to
Speaker 1: c J. Most players you've done the post signing interviews
Speaker 1: that I've done JP, and there's a there's a feeling
Speaker 1: of whoa whenever players signed, because then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's really you sign on the die of line and
Speaker 1: now you're a pro. So they all go through that. Um,
Speaker 1: it's taking a little longer than it has in most
Speaker 1: off seasons to get everybody signed, But the reality is
Speaker 1: you've got a bunch of other things going on around
Speaker 1: the league, You've out of pandemic, and there's no rush
Speaker 1: on this. As you alluded to, everybody's gonna get signed.
Speaker 1: There might be one or two guys who aren't in
Speaker 1: training camp around the league, but it's so minimal compared
Speaker 1: to what it used to be. It's a non story
Speaker 1: in terms of DJ specifically. You know, the one thing
Speaker 1: he said to me when I was talking to him
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, it was really interesting. I kind
Speaker 1: of asked him, what are your feelings after that? As
Speaker 1: you know JP, a lot of guys talked about, well,
Speaker 1: I thought of my family, or I thought about this,
Speaker 1: I thought about this. The first thing he said was, look,
Speaker 1: this is not really I'm paraphrase in me said, it's
Speaker 1: not really a celebration day. When he signed it, he
Speaker 1: felt motivated, like, okay, now I'm here. Now I've got
Speaker 1: to backup being the top ten pick. Now I want
Speaker 1: to sign more contracts. It's sort of jibes with everything
Speaker 1: you've heard about this kid, is that he's he's very
Speaker 1: work oriented, no nonsense, he's a pro all that stuff
Speaker 1: both well for fulfilling his potential. So will he do it?
Speaker 1: Who knows. But I did think that was a pretty
Speaker 1: interesting comment from what is usually, as you know, a
Speaker 1: fairly routine interview. Right for people's side, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure on him, especially around here with all the
Speaker 1: changes over the last couple of years here in the secondary.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the uh you know, he's the top dog.
Speaker 1: Really he is. And and it's funny, I think because
Speaker 1: he was picked nine, and because he wasn't a Kuda
Speaker 1: and there was so much talk about a CUDA before
Speaker 1: the draft that you know, and maybe it's because everything
Speaker 1: else going on, there's been so much this off season.
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about the players specifically, but you know,
Speaker 1: top ten pick for a corner, I don't want to
Speaker 1: say it's rare, but just because he wasn't picked as
Speaker 1: high as Jail and number five overall, and wasn't in
Speaker 1: that group. Top ten pig is a really high picks
Speaker 1: for a corner. As you said, this guy is expected
Speaker 1: to come in. And when you're pick top ten at
Speaker 1: a corner, you're not just supposed to be good, you
Speaker 1: know you're supposed to be what Oo Sinko has been
Speaker 1: tweeting about this guy and anybody who follows social media.
Speaker 1: Sinko again tweeted today, Um, this guy is really really
Speaker 1: talented and really really good. And I think maybe because
Speaker 1: he didn't get as much pre draft hype, I think
Speaker 1: maybe some casual fans don't really realize how good he
Speaker 1: has a chance to be. There's a reason he's in
Speaker 1: the top ten and is there pressure, Yeah, But in
Speaker 1: my limited dealings with them, you get the idea that
Speaker 1: the focus is there. Just like I said about the
Speaker 1: interview a second ago, there's all sorts of little signs
Speaker 1: that this guy is gonna take it seriously if if
Speaker 1: he fails, and all NFL players have a chance to
Speaker 1: do that, just like they have a chance to speed.
Speaker 1: But if he fails, it won't be because he didn't
Speaker 1: take the right approach. You feel good about that with
Speaker 1: this guy, John Os, You're senior writer Jaguars dot Com.
Speaker 1: Here is our token unique and doc Way question. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know you've been waiting on that. That's why I
Speaker 1: put it last. We nothing's changed. I mean, it's not
Speaker 1: like there was no news the other day. It was
Speaker 1: news because the deadline was coming to other people that
Speaker 1: aren't around here all the time. But nothing has changed.
Speaker 1: Nothing is different than it was before. I'm sure there
Speaker 1: have been um, you know, conversations from his camp to
Speaker 1: other teams. I'm sure the Jags have probably got an
Speaker 1: offer to that didn't quite please them. And so we
Speaker 1: move on. And what's the endgame for you right now
Speaker 1: on July? Yeah? I could be dead wrong. I've been
Speaker 1: wrong before, but it's everything you heard around the draft
Speaker 1: had heard that much different now. A lot of this
Speaker 1: stuff that you've heard out there this week feels like
Speaker 1: agent in Goakway side doing what you would expect him
Speaker 1: to do, which is why wouldn't they put things out
Speaker 1: there that made it look like there was a lot
Speaker 1: of interest in and perhaps there is. Um I've never
Speaker 1: gotten the stunt despite all the uh noise out there,
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars are in any sort of a mode
Speaker 1: to trade unique to not have him on the team
Speaker 1: short of an offer that blows them out of the water,
Speaker 1: meaning and that happens. Look at the Dalen Ramsey got
Speaker 1: trade last year. Two first round picks to find is
Speaker 1: being blown out of the water. Uh, there's value for
Speaker 1: any player that meets that criteria. But it is not
Speaker 1: a situation like when they traded Dante Fowler amid season
Speaker 1: we did a couple of years ago. You got the idea, look,
Speaker 1: we're not bringing this guy back. We want to get
Speaker 1: whatever value we can. Well, I don't get the idea
Speaker 1: that they're in the mode of what unique of Well,
Speaker 1: let's give them away for any value we can. I
Speaker 1: think they think, well, look, this is a value business
Speaker 1: and equity business. He's equity for our franchise whether he's
Speaker 1: on the field. I don't think they want to trade him.
Speaker 1: So um, I still don't believe it will happen. And
Speaker 1: you would think financially incentive wise, at some point you'll
Speaker 1: show up and play. But I don't pretend to know
Speaker 1: enough about what will make unique pick on that to
Speaker 1: guarantee that. But I don't think they're going to trade.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's the thing with with the way he
Speaker 1: operates he's so intense and um, you know, strong about
Speaker 1: his beliefs and what he says he follows up, but
Speaker 1: he does so will he sit absolutely, But that's that's
Speaker 1: a great about him though you can't predict that, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know again, I want to clarify. I
Speaker 1: hope he played the places Jaguars a long time. I
Speaker 1: love talking to him watching him play. It just feels
Speaker 1: so far like a big disconnect between what do he
Speaker 1: wants and what the league so far has been willing
Speaker 1: to pay. And let's hope that beats somewhere in the middle,
Speaker 1: because you'd like to see him play, You'd like to
Speaker 1: see him financially secure. He deserves it. Uh, but we'll
Speaker 1: see where it all meets. Johnny, Oh, stay healthy and
Speaker 1: we'll talk again next week. I look forward to seeing
Speaker 1: I know. Wow, I look forward to seeing you too, John. Well,

Speaker 1: if you're watching there. You just had a nice look
Speaker 1: inside t I A Bank field, and let's see it that.
Speaker 1: The last time I was in the facility was March nineteen,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars facility. Now, I was on the other side
Speaker 1: of the stadium for a high school commencement um on
Speaker 1: the east side, but was not allowed to go on
Speaker 1: the Jaguars side of the building. So that look that
Speaker 1: you saw was the first look I've had in a
Speaker 1: long time inside that building. Jeff Logaman joins us online
Speaker 1: now Jaguars analysts former defensive lineman logs, good afternoon, but
Speaker 1: how are you good? JP? How are you doing hanging
Speaker 1: in here. Did you Did you partake in the red
Speaker 1: snapper um deal, the season, the four day season or
Speaker 1: whatever it was. I did not. It was red snapper
Speaker 1: in the Atlantic Ocean opened up last weekend. It was
Speaker 1: a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then it's gonna open again here,
Speaker 1: I believe tomorrow again. But no, I did not partake.
Speaker 1: I like to eat red snapper, but I also don't
Speaker 1: like a whole lot of crowds. Everybody else was trying
Speaker 1: to chase the red snapper down as well. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's the for some reason, it's just you know,
Speaker 1: darn near extinct. I mean, you go out there and
Speaker 1: then it's a very highly protected fish and there's just
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of them, So yeah, I gotta protect them.
Speaker 1: Check out the Outdoor Show Saturday mornings on tended more. Um,
Speaker 1: so here we are. Logs were a week or so
Speaker 1: from rookies scheduled to report, and a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: from veterans reporting. But the feeling now is that those
Speaker 1: are loose at best. So uh boy, there's a conversations
Speaker 1: now between the Players Association and the League of protocols
Speaker 1: and money and you get the feeling this is going
Speaker 1: to slide a little bit. Well when you when you
Speaker 1: term it slide, you're talking about time frame wise, Yes, yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's I don't think there's any any
Speaker 1: question that we could possibly see some sliding when it
Speaker 1: comes to timeframe. And you know, just because of the
Speaker 1: the fluidity of the situation, I mean, people are still
Speaker 1: trying to I mean, and you look at the other
Speaker 1: sports is kind of an example, and you look at
Speaker 1: some of the difficulties that they've had to entertain so far,
Speaker 1: and trying to get baseball back up, Major League Soccer
Speaker 1: and the NBA is extremely difficult. So I think the
Speaker 1: NFL is gonna incur some of the same scenarios when
Speaker 1: they try to convene to you know, to start everything up.
Speaker 1: And but here's the hard part is that you've got
Speaker 1: to come to an agreement on everything to where everybody
Speaker 1: is comfortable. And and here's the thing, I don't know
Speaker 1: if that that's possible where everybody's comfortable, because I think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be certain parties that, no matter what you do,
Speaker 1: just because of the the pandemic, they're not going to
Speaker 1: find comfort in any solution, and the only solution to
Speaker 1: them will probably be as to opt out or to
Speaker 1: not play this year. So it's gonna be I think
Speaker 1: of a very interesting situation. I think it's one that
Speaker 1: if you're trying to lay odds, boy, this is this
Speaker 1: is a tough one to do. I mean, because where
Speaker 1: where would the money go? I mean, would it be
Speaker 1: on sliding back, would it be on already on time,
Speaker 1: would it be on not even making it to the
Speaker 1: start line. I mean, I think all those are are
Speaker 1: certainly strong possibilities right now. And I know we kind
Speaker 1: of we chatted a little bit about this SHP via
Speaker 1: text today and you threw the I D out there
Speaker 1: and that you asked me what would I do? And
Speaker 1: I think it's a great question. And I read Fred's
Speaker 1: response to it earlier and Fred Fred Taylor had the
Speaker 1: interview and I think it was in the in the
Speaker 1: Times Union, and I thought Fred was dead on. You know,
Speaker 1: if if you're talking to me now, I would probably say,
Speaker 1: you know, boy, would be really cautious to even even
Speaker 1: possibly leaning towards not playing. But if you asked the
Speaker 1: twenty two year old, one year old twenty three year
Speaker 1: old Jeff Lockerman, Let's go. Man hasn't made the money yet, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go and make some money. Well, I mean it's not,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not really about the money, you know,
Speaker 1: first of all. I mean, yeah, I mean the money
Speaker 1: is great. You want to make money when you're at age,
Speaker 1: But when you're twenty two, twenty four years old, you're
Speaker 1: you're you're indestructible, your bulletproof. You feel like you're young,
Speaker 1: You're healthy. Uh, I mean you're an athlete. I mean
Speaker 1: you're at the top of your top peak physical shape.
Speaker 1: I mean you think that, okay, that that type of
Speaker 1: illness or whatever, it's not going to bother me. And
Speaker 1: and I think it's kind of some of us are
Speaker 1: similar attitude that what we're seeing in some of young
Speaker 1: America when it comes to dealing with COVID and that
Speaker 1: some of them is chosen not to worry so much
Speaker 1: about it, you know. And I think it would be
Speaker 1: no different for me if I was twenty two or
Speaker 1: twenty three years old, and especially playing ball, you just
Speaker 1: feel like you're you're glad here, You're a warrior. You know.
Speaker 1: Let's go interesting thoughts. Jeff Lockman, Jaguars analysts where they say,
Speaker 1: And let's go back a little bit to the part
Speaker 1: you're talking about baseball coming back and what they've had
Speaker 1: to go through to try to get act. They haven't
Speaker 1: started the regular season yet. NBA is now in the bubble.
Speaker 1: They've got their own issues going on with that right now,
Speaker 1: with guys going out to get food and then getting
Speaker 1: sent away. Uh, NHL is about to start Major League Soccer.
Speaker 1: But the problem, your logs is that the NFL is
Speaker 1: so much bigger in terms of people involved. I mean,
Speaker 1: the NBA has what twelve guys on the roster, four
Speaker 1: or five coaches, some personnel staff around them. Um Man,
Speaker 1: I don't know what about you have eleven guys on
Speaker 1: the field and soccer and a bunch of guys on
Speaker 1: the bench. Right major League Baseball twenty five man active roster.
Speaker 1: They've think expanded that with this situation early in the season.
Speaker 1: You still give ninety guys in the roster and twenty
Speaker 1: coaches and trainers. And then that's a lot of people
Speaker 1: coming and going, and it's not in a bubble. By
Speaker 1: the way. All these people go home and live their
Speaker 1: lives and then come back into the building. So that's
Speaker 1: where the that's where the issue I think is because
Speaker 1: there's no sport that compares to of that kind of
Speaker 1: number of people. You know, No, I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: and you're you're just talking about just the sheer number,
Speaker 1: you know. Then then you start talking about okay, uh behavior.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that the NFL behavior is anything
Speaker 1: different than what it is another pro sports. But let's
Speaker 1: say you okay, let's say you've got you go into
Speaker 1: training camp with ninety. Let's say they stay there. You know,
Speaker 1: you're going ninety, you know, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to make sure that they do the right
Speaker 1: thing and that they're not you know, going out and
Speaker 1: other places and being around a lot of different people. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure that some of the quote unquote
Speaker 1: professionals would do that and make the right choices. And
Speaker 1: guys that have families and kids or have you know,
Speaker 1: a parent living with them and they're concerned about their
Speaker 1: well being. But then you know, you've got the younger guys,
Speaker 1: like they want to go out and they want to
Speaker 1: meet girls and and hang out with other guys and
Speaker 1: and dinner, like go eat dinner or whatever. You can
Speaker 1: run across it that way. Yeah, you want to do
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, and so, you know, so
Speaker 1: I think it's it's very difficult to create a bubble
Speaker 1: with the NFL, and that that's before you even get
Speaker 1: to the field. Now, once you get to the field.
Speaker 1: The last time I checked, social distancing doesn't really apply
Speaker 1: to football. I would call of it. Call it more, uh,
Speaker 1: physical distancing. You've got to bash the other guy across
Speaker 1: from you, and so I know it is a defensive lineman.
Speaker 1: You lined up and got across from an offensive lineman
Speaker 1: and we butted heads almost every single play. And when
Speaker 1: you butt heads, it's face to face contact. Okay, my
Speaker 1: nose is inches away from his nose. Okay, he's breathing
Speaker 1: on me. I'm breathing on him. He is not almost say,
Speaker 1: spitting on purpose. But I mean, look, when you're in
Speaker 1: a physical fashion and you're playing football and it's ninety
Speaker 1: degree outside, you're sweating, you're shedding, you're doing all these
Speaker 1: things that you know you're trying to prevent um you
Speaker 1: know from CDC guidelines with COVID, and you can't. You
Speaker 1: can't do that when you're interacting in football, you know. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you how do you address that.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you say, okay, well it's okay
Speaker 1: to do that in football. You know, and and I
Speaker 1: read and you hear about things that they're suggesting for
Speaker 1: maybe keeping the social distancing and football to where you have,
Speaker 1: you know, okay, maybe only X number of guys in
Speaker 1: the weight room at a time, maybe you only have
Speaker 1: X number of guys on the field at the same time. Well,
Speaker 1: look at football, it's a game that's played with twenty
Speaker 1: two people on the field at the same time. You
Speaker 1: have a huddle where everybody gets them the huddle together,
Speaker 1: all eleven guys and they hold hands sometimes and then
Speaker 1: they clapp and they say, I can't hear you. So
Speaker 1: guy gets closer to the face, said the quarterbacks, we
Speaker 1: can hear the signal maybe better. I mean, look, that's
Speaker 1: that's not like baseball. I mean, that's not like I
Speaker 1: mean basketball is pretty physical or not close too, but
Speaker 1: I mean football is like the the the anti social
Speaker 1: distancing sport of all time. So there's a lot of challenges.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. What what do you do
Speaker 1: if you're a coach and we're talking about players, maybe
Speaker 1: a player chooses to opt out. What is your coach,
Speaker 1: you know, and you you've got your family, and your
Speaker 1: family might include, you know, some illness or some type
Speaker 1: of physical issue that you have that you're concerned about.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a physical issue that a family member has.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's your mom's living with you, maybe your dad's
Speaker 1: living with you. Maybe you have a child with a
Speaker 1: who's immunocompromised or whatever. What where does that person? What
Speaker 1: does that person do? Right? Because they're not collectively bargained,
Speaker 1: so they're kind of on their own with the organization.
Speaker 1: How organization wants to handle that? Yeah, So I mean
Speaker 1: there's just what about the officials. How are the officials
Speaker 1: gonna I mean, because you know, all we're talking about
Speaker 1: right now is is union and in the league and
Speaker 1: their negotiations and then coming to an agreement. But you know,
Speaker 1: you've got officials involved. I mean, you've got staffing on
Speaker 1: game days. I mean, there's just there's a lot of
Speaker 1: things to consider that factor in, and it's there's so
Speaker 1: many layers to having an NFL game being played and
Speaker 1: so many people that are required, and I get it.
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody wants to try to keep things as
Speaker 1: normal as possible, but there's a lot of things that
Speaker 1: have to fall perfectly in the place for I think
Speaker 1: for the NFL to be able to have this season
Speaker 1: kind of go off without something happening that's going to
Speaker 1: delay or disqualify the season as a whole. Jeff Logman
Speaker 1: with us was kind of a downer there that conversation,
Speaker 1: But it's what it is, and that's the situation we're in.
Speaker 1: But to continue the bad news lugs, Tennessee Titans gave
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry a four year extension, fifty million dollar deal,
Speaker 1: twenty five and a half million guaranteed, and so the
Speaker 1: Jags get at least, by contract, eight more games against
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Oh boy, he's he's a great player. I mean,
Speaker 1: holy cow. Uh that yard run that he had against
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, I mean that that goes right up to
Speaker 1: one of the all time great runs in NFL history.
Speaker 1: It's right up there with uh Earl Campbell lowering his
Speaker 1: head and just putting it right into the chest of
Speaker 1: the linebacker and he gets blown back. Uh. He was
Speaker 1: a man amongst boys, is what it? Stiff arm and guys.
Speaker 1: I mean he could you go to the run. Was
Speaker 1: the running back that was in Seattle for many years
Speaker 1: Marshawn and Marshawn Man, the beast of the run that
Speaker 1: he had, beast mode run that he had in that
Speaker 1: in that game at the enemy, just running guys over
Speaker 1: and wouldn't quit. I mean, I mean that's where that's
Speaker 1: that run that Derrick Henry had. That's what it was. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was two years ago. Wasn't last year. It wasn't
Speaker 1: ninety nine yards, but two years ago. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: he had one last years, like seventy something yards against
Speaker 1: this team. You know, it wasn't it wasn't as missing
Speaker 1: that like fourth or five stiff farm one was just
Speaker 1: like ridiculous. Yeah, I mean the Jags were done at
Speaker 1: that point. It was over. They were they were toasted
Speaker 1: the season. They were like, you know, I didn't want
Speaker 1: any place. I mean, look look at the looking good
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans. I mean, if you're Tennessee Titans
Speaker 1: stand you got to be excited. I mean they've got
Speaker 1: a good offensive line. I mean they got to replace
Speaker 1: Conklin right tackle. But you've got Derrick Henry back. You've
Speaker 1: got your quarterback back, and you and you hope that
Speaker 1: he continues to build on what he was able to
Speaker 1: do last year because he had a phenomenal year. And uh,
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry has kind of always been that engine
Speaker 1: for Tennessee. And if you can continue to get improved
Speaker 1: play with the quarterback, I mean, Tennessee's got to feel
Speaker 1: really good about where they're at, so, you know, and
Speaker 1: that's bad for the Jaguars. But look, look he's a
Speaker 1: running back. Um, let's not get crazy. And that look,
Speaker 1: I'd rather I'd rather face a great running back. I
Speaker 1: put this on, I'd rather face Derrick Henry than Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes twice. And it's an excellent way to put it.
Speaker 1: Way to close it out, logs um, good stuff, man,
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you again next week. Okay, JP,

Speaker 1: every day today am the noon on ten ten XL.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Jaguars, Happy our final a few moments on
Speaker 1: this Thursday, July six. Glad to be back along with
Speaker 1: you after a few weeks off. We continue from the
Speaker 1: home studio watching on jag social media. You just saw
Speaker 1: a look inside c I a a bank field. Who
Speaker 1: knows when football things will happen. They're scheduled to begin
Speaker 1: for the next few days with rookies reporting around the league,
Speaker 1: and then veterans are supposed to report in a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, but it feels like that could get pushed
Speaker 1: back a little bit with the conversation still ongoing between
Speaker 1: the players Association and the league. And we'll see, we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. It's a it's an ongoing process here.
Speaker 1: The process continues for the Jaguars players in this offseason
Speaker 1: time to remain in shape. And before these workouts were
Speaker 1: outlawed by the league, the Jaguars had a little work
Speaker 1: out of their own after the off season program that
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew was there led that a few of the
Speaker 1: Jaguars receivers were out of the local high school and
Speaker 1: you can get a breakdown of how that went on
Speaker 1: the latest chapter of The Hunt, chapter four. It's out now,
Speaker 1: so check it out on Jaguars dot com and the
Speaker 1: Jags social channels. An in depth look at the Jaguars
Speaker 1: this offseason. Good stuff from a Gardner Minshew to see
Speaker 1: how he has developed and going into year two and
Speaker 1: with his receivers. You know, it's it's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: for everybody, certainly a young football team with no offseason
Speaker 1: time at all in a new offense. Usually you get
Speaker 1: on the field and get to run through it and
Speaker 1: practice and get some timing and get a little better ideas.
Speaker 1: So the times that they had these offseason workouts again
Speaker 1: they can't have them now, but before they were outlaw.
Speaker 1: You know, that's so valable because the only time they've
Speaker 1: had together on the field. Now does that equate? Come
Speaker 1: training camp? You know, who knows. You go out and
Speaker 1: do training camp and it could be a totally different animal,
Speaker 1: and that's when you're really the rubber will hit the
Speaker 1: road then whenever training camp is allowed to happen. But
Speaker 1: check it out the hunt available on the Jaguars website,
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, and the Jags social media accounts as well.
Speaker 1: Florida Blues here to help you better understand COVID nineteen,
Speaker 1: share information to help you, help protect you and your family,
Speaker 1: and make sure you get the care and support you
Speaker 1: need during this challenging time. Florida Blues support extends beyond healthcare.
Speaker 1: They worked with the community to provide meals for seniors,
Speaker 1: masks for healthcare workers and residents, funds for immediate needs,
Speaker 1: and expertise on prevention. Let's go around the National Football
Speaker 1: League and we are awaiting still the supposed bombshell reports
Speaker 1: surrounding the Washington Redskins from the Washington Post. Well, of course,
Speaker 1: earlier this week, the organization announced that they had plans
Speaker 1: to drop the Redskins name. They have not officially dropped
Speaker 1: that name as of yet. They're going through that process.
Speaker 1: And once they announced the name, that's when they said
Speaker 1: they will eliminate the Redskins nickname. But uh, this bombshell
Speaker 1: apparently has nothing to do with the name of the
Speaker 1: football team. There were a series of tweets from reporters
Speaker 1: from around the team earlier this week. Jason Lacinford was
Speaker 1: one of those, a former Redskins beat writer. By the way,
Speaker 1: he's now be a sports Jack's fans know him and
Speaker 1: love him. I'm sure, um no. He tweeted, quote, the
Speaker 1: warped and toxic culture of the Washington football team is
Speaker 1: about to be exposed in a sickening fashion again end quote.
Speaker 1: And then Julie Donaldson of bens NBC Sports in Washington said, quote,
Speaker 1: what's coming is disappointing and sad end quote. The Redskins
Speaker 1: have lawyered up, if you will. They hired an attorney
Speaker 1: to go through some of the practices in the organization.
Speaker 1: There have been a number of um high ranking officials
Speaker 1: that have left the organization in one way or another
Speaker 1: over the last week or so. A couple in the
Speaker 1: football operations side. And then Larry Michael, the voice of
Speaker 1: the team on radio and television really the last sixteen
Speaker 1: years or so, he up and retired yesterday in a tweet.
Speaker 1: So some changes happening there, and we're still waiting to
Speaker 1: see what that what that report says. And you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of spec lation, of course, all over
Speaker 1: social media about that, as there always will be. But
Speaker 1: we'll find out maybe sooner rather than later. It was
Speaker 1: supposed to be out Monday, Tuesday, and then as the
Speaker 1: days go on, and it has not come out yet,
Speaker 1: But um, how far reaching will it be? What does
Speaker 1: it include? All speculation at this point, but everybody in
Speaker 1: the league's kind of on edge here to see what
Speaker 1: the Washington Post has to say in the report whenever
Speaker 1: it does come down. Uh. NFLPA has released a heat
Speaker 1: map of COVID nineteen and all thirty two markets using
Speaker 1: the fourteen day average daily cases per one hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: The number one market for that number was the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins market, number two, Arizona Cardinals, number three the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 1: Now it's I think fifty five per a hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: but they are number three in the league in terms
Speaker 1: of that fourteen day average daily cases per one thousand.
Speaker 1: Of course, those conversations continue around the NFL and the
Speaker 1: NFL p A what will this look like next week
Speaker 1: when we reconvene on this program. Only only time will tell.
Speaker 1: The conversations continue about when to start, how to get
Speaker 1: the protocol to get in the building, the tiers system,
Speaker 1: who interacts with who? And we just don't know a
Speaker 1: lot as of yet. Maybe it'll be a little clearer
Speaker 1: than mud next week. Thanks to all of our guests
Speaker 1: joining us. Tony Boselli, John Ozier, Jeff Logaman, Bryan Bonifant
Speaker 1: back in the studio, Max Hawkman back at the stadium,
Speaker 1: getting us going on the video side. I'm J. P. Shadrick.
