Speaker 1: actually Jaguars Drive Time starts right now. Al Right, here

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,239

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: time change, and I wake up in a dark house.

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Still I'm still trying to adjust my seat. Are you

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: comfortable now? I'm not. He always is really for out.

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: At the beginning of the show. No one sees it

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: because they showed the bridge, but he's always moving in.

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: No one sees it because I evoked a sense of calm. Yeah,

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: that's it. Welcome Did Jacks Drive Time? Me and these

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: two here? I have to separate you guys wait too

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: much time together lately. Yeah. Right, So let's start off

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: with a statement and then we'll get into big things.

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: The reports are, and we say reports are because the

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Jaguars have and cannot make any indication of what they

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: have done. But the reports are they have agreed to

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: terms with Nick Foles, which is no surprise considering we've

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: been talking about that name since January. But the reports

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: are it's a deal in excess and the numbers are

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: what they are, but eighty eight million dollars with a

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: chance with incentives to hit two million dollars. Let's just

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: get right into this with big things, because we'll steal it.

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: We'll steal big thing in one away, which is this

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: conversation Big thing One is that this is a pretty

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: big deal bringing Folds, And if the reports are true,

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: isn't the search of consistency for the coaching staff? And

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: that seems to be what Foals is. There was a

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: story guys in the ticket office a few days ago

31
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are calling in about their

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: season ticket nules in they won't renew their tickets unless

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: Folds is here. If this seems to be true, you

34
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: can call back say Folds is your guy. It brings

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: excitement to Jacksonville. Everyone is talking about Jacksonville this morning.

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. You know. There's that old saying

37
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL that the backup quarterback is the most

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: he's the favorite of most people. And in this case,

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: the Eagle's backup appears to be a favorite. And I

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: can echo the sentiment. I spoke to the Downtown Rotary

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Club yesterday and every question that I got was Nick Foles,

42
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: nick Foles, Nickpoles and nick Foles. So the reality of

43
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: it is, these people are excited about this move. Um,

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: you're generally excitable. God, you've seen kind of them this morning.

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: Um there's upside. There's certainly downside with this one. But

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: it's a move the Jaguars felt they had to make.

47
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: If indeed, we'd say again they made it. The reports

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: are that they have. It's it's a tricky thing. I

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: almost get the idea, and my inbox tends to be

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: full of people who have really picked everything apart already.

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: So a lot of people who are emailing me about

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: it are very upset because I think they've dug a

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: little too deep into the what ifs and the numbers

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: and and and they're mad because they overpaid. And I

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: get that from a micro point of view. From a

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: macro point of view, the big issue is maybe you

57
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: were paid him by a few million dollars here. I

58
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I wasn't in the the negotiations. I

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: don't know what it was actually gonna take to get

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: nick Fole. I know what everybody thought it was gonna take,

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: but I know it is actually gonna take to get him. Um,

62
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: does he make you better? If if he makes you

63
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: better and makes you a playoff team, then this is

64
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: a bargain so to me. If he doesn't, then it's

65
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: an awful deal. So to me, the question of where

66
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: he makes you better? And everyone looks, you know, at

67
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: a macro, but look at the micro. How much better

68
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: does he make a young receiver like d D. Westbrook?

69
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: He's a much more precise pastor than Blake Bortles was. Uh,

70
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: he's a guy. How much better does he make the

71
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: running game because of the threat of the past, because

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: a consistent performer, Because if you listen to the national

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: media and you talked to a lot of them too,

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: consistency is what this guy is supposed to bring you,

75
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: a consistent presence at quarterback. How much better does he

76
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: make the defense with his ability to sustain drives and

77
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: convert on third down? Better? Yeah? I mean because if

78
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: it's not, then again, this is an awful move if

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: you're not in the playoffs, because this is what it's

80
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: all about. But uh, it's also a necessary move and

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's awful in terms of Uh, if

82
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: if you make the playoffs, you should have done it.

83
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: But that's going to be the barometer they feel like

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: they're a contending team. If if they didn't feel like

85
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: they were a containing team cable going to the playoffs,

86
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: then you wouldn't do this. You would wait and you

87
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: would take a quarterback in the first round. So this

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: is a when now when lunch move they made its

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: exactly that's on her, which put just hitching the wagon.

90
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm gonna have to separate you to um.

91
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: The decision was made that they were going forward, not backward.

92
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: In other words, they were not going to take a

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: step and go with the rookie quarterback. They were not

94
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: going to let Calais and Marcel and some of these

95
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: higher price guys go on defense and work towards one.

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: They were going to put this thing back, put the

97
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: wheels back on it, hopefully stay healthy, add some players,

98
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: and go forward, which is what we knew Tom Coughlin

99
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: was gonna do. Doug Moron would want to do that.

100
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: That's what coaches want. They think about now, gms have

101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: to think about the future. This move was made when

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: they decided to keep those guys and keep them together.

103
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: So you're right, if they don't make the playoffs this year.

104
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: This seems like a terrible decision. Last year people were

105
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: saying that the Blake Bartle's decision was a terrible decision.

106
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: There's risk to it, there's plenty of risk, but it's

107
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: a necessary risk if they're doing if they're trying to

108
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: do what they wanted. It's a necessary risk if if

109
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: you want to win now, it's also a risk. Mean,

110
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: we watched all these tapes on fold and you see

111
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: that he's clutch in the playoffs. He plays best in

112
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But you got to get there, and that's

113
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: everyone's obstacle is how is he going to play in

114
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: the regular season to even gets you to that point? Well,

115
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: remember he was a starter in two had a big

116
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: year with Chip Kelly Um and then became a free agent,

117
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: didn't do much in St. Louis, was thinking about leaving football,

118
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: went to Kansas City, didn't do much there. Um signed

119
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: on with the Eagles as a backup, making four million

120
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: bucks a year, and now all of a sudden, is

121
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: a paid day. The last two years he has made

122
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: a total of sixteen million dollars. Right, heavily incentivized deal.

123
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: Uh and now he's going for roughly two. You just

124
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: equal it out, which brings me to an important point,

125
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: which is, I'm sorry, which is still the middle of

126
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: the pack for quarterbacks. It's it's not like this guy

127
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: got Aaron Ryder's money, cousins money. And I saw a

128
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: good point on Twitter, which it's rare, but I did

129
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: see a good point made on Twitter. And if I

130
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: get who made it that In terms of if you

131
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: compare this contract to last year's numbers, it's huge. If

132
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: you fitted in with percentage of what the cap is,

133
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: it's probably a little more in line with what Blake

134
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: actually got. I mean, I'm saying it's that low, but

135
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: it's still the cap has gone way way up. You're

136
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: seeing again monopoly money numbers and free agencies. So I

137
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: don't know that it's as astronomical as the initial shock

138
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: of seeing it makes it seems. I interrupted you. Well, no,

139
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna, says. The only people who have seen

140
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: the contract would be the agent, the quarterback, and and

141
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: obviously they've called well and Tom Calf's gonna guarantee of

142
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: falsong because he had it on as all, and absolutely

143
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: that's a dance. Mine would be more ridiculous than that

144
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: with those kind of numbers. But I tend to look

145
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: at free agent deals through a three year lens. Right,

146
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: how much guaranteed money goes in the first three years

147
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: of the deal. And if the number fifty million is accurate,

148
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: is this a three year, fifty million dollar deal. If

149
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: it is, then it's more in line with with what

150
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: a Boordle's got. Um If it's not. If it's two

151
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: years and forty six, which is the number that I

152
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: think we were talking about before, which you have seen,

153
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, then it's it's a really pricey deal compared

154
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: to Blake. It's a move up. I want to see

155
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: how it's structured because that's gonna tell us how these

156
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: guys are playing when Blake goes, and and that's been

157
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: reported as well, and I think all of us expected

158
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: when full of science he'll go. They'll have thirty three

159
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: million dollars in cap room. You figure roughly ten of

160
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: that has to go to signing your draft class. So

161
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: now you have twenty three million dollars in cap room.

162
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: You need some money to function, right, six seven million

163
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: bucks for guys who get injured and practice squad and

164
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. So they're going to be very tight.

165
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: People are gonna say, well, what's he gonna throw too?

166
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: Now they don't have the money and toys gonna he's

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna throw it to what they believe are going to

168
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: be improved wide receivers, and they're gonna throw the tight

169
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: ends in the draft. Okay, well there's that's the plan

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: at least. If you're thinking, what else do the Jaguars

171
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: bring in, the answer is not much because there is

172
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: no room now. Depending on what they could restructure a

173
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: player or two, they could create some room, but there's

174
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: not a lot out there, and there's not a lot

175
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: of players, um that you can restruct to create a

176
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: ton of cap room this year. You don't want to

177
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: do that. It looks like I could see a scenario

178
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: where full obviously Folds is the big free agent signing,

179
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: but I could see a scenario where the rest of

180
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: the offense in in these holes we're talking about. Are

181
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: draft right side of the offensive line in the first

182
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: three rounds, draft offensive line in the first three rounds,

183
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: meaning to draft tight end in the first three rounds,

184
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: and your backup running back, your one edition is a veteran,

185
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: very very very low priced older veteran. You keepen here

186
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: about Adrian Peterson. He didn't make very much in Washington

187
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: last year. A guy of that age and experience level

188
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: would make sense in the room with for net Uh.

189
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: But I could see very very mid level to even

190
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: low level free agent running back. Let's reset, because we're

191
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: running right through all of our big things, checking all

192
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: the boxes. Thing too is making room at four year,

193
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: eight million dollar deal with a hundred and two million

194
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: in incentives, with the million guaranteed that had to come

195
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: from somewhere. Those were those cuts on Friday from those

196
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: five players we saw. We believe that boardles is to

197
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: be cut like it's reported when full signs. So yes,

198
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: you made room, you made room for fulls. But like

199
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: we talked about, there isn't much room left. No, there's not.

200
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: And so I was looking at it through the spot track,

201
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: and you can see right there that you're the Jaguars

202
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: with about twenty eight point three. That doesn't count like

203
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: Boardles leaving. That gives him the thirty two thirty three

204
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: roughly that we were just talking about. Ten out for

205
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: the rookies gives you twenty three. You figure Nick is

206
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: getting somewhere between eighteen and twenty two million, which leaves

207
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: you the room that you need to be able to

208
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: function through the course of the year. So there really

209
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: is no money to go out and sign. Now. That

210
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: brings us to a point, and I have been on

211
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: the record forever saying this, UM, don't push money out.

212
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: People who have followed the Jaguars for a long time,

213
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: remember when that was the Jaguars standard operating procedure. Convert salary, designing, bonus,

214
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: amor tyser push it out into future years and then

215
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: worry about those consequences at some later date. And the

216
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: only way you can do that, By the way, let

217
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: me just finish the start. Calais Campbell and a J

218
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: boy give you between fifteen and twenty million dollars of

219
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: conversion from salary to signing, bonus and amortization. You can

220
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: create more cap room if you want. UM. I got

221
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of emails this time of year from people

222
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: who remember that, uh, and they should. It was a

223
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: it was a disastrous time for the franchise, and a

224
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: lot of the emails start off with a what's Tom

225
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: Coughlan doing. He's putting us in the same kind of

226
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: cat misery that he did in two thousand. Uh. This

227
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: is gonna haunt us for years. That's a fair fear,

228
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: because what happened in two thousand, two thousand one, that

229
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: era haunted them for years and years. That only happens

230
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: if you push it out. If you don't push it out,

231
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: which most teams now don't push it out. The Jaguars

232
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: have made these contracts in recent years. They were designed

233
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: with a day like Friday in mind to ensure that

234
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: you wouldn't push it out, to ensure that you could

235
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: get out of them. The only way it haunts you

236
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: for a decade for years that people are talking about

237
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: is if you push it out. If if you make

238
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: the decisions you made on Friday, then it's a quick However,

239
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: the reason they were able to write those kinds of

240
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: deals was because they had the cap room to absorb

241
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: a big hit. In year one, they took on a

242
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: lot of that signing bonus that used to be pro

243
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: rated and pressed out. You know, they took a big

244
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: bite of the apple with Malik in the first year.

245
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: So but now against the cap you can't afford to

246
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: do it. Last year when they signed Andrew Norwell, they

247
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: took three million dollars and put it out in each

248
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: of the five years of his contracts. So they took

249
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: fifteen million and pushed it into the future. Well, if

250
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: they had signed it two or three years earlier, they

251
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: would have taken all of that bite in that given year,

252
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: because then you don't have to worry about the future years.

253
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: I think the perception that guy like Norwell is he's

254
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a safer Okay, we could

255
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: see this guy being but he's the first guy that

256
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: this that Dave Coldwell has done that with because they

257
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: had the cat flexibility over the last couple of years

258
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: to not have to push the money out. And that's

259
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: why you're right, Folds. His contract be fascinating to say

260
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: how long it affects them for see, I think it's

261
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: got to be at least three years. I mean he's

262
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: thirty years old. You don't have it. I said this earlier.

263
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: It's not like your Sonning and he's not a quarterback,

264
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: but Terrell Suggs, I mean he's a sixteen year guy.

265
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: You can't. You're not doing that with this guy. Sixteen

266
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: You guys you know they're here for a year. This

267
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: is a guy you're thinking could be here for three

268
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: or four years. You hope that he's good enough that

269
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: for three or four years he's a guy that you

270
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: can count better. And yeah, this is um I'm curious, Brian,

271
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: you've been around again. I missed ten years, so I

272
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: don't have every impact moment. I I would say Calais

273
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: is the closest thing to this signing and this Dorset

274
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: because it's quarterback. There's nothing like this. At the time

275
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: they signed Calais, they didn't know they were getting an

276
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: All Pro. They thought they were getting a good football player.

277
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: They hoped he'd be a Pro Bowl anyone in the

278
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: quarterback so it's a different story. So this is the

279
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: biggest free agent signing in franchise history right there. It

280
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: isn't even close. I mean, the only thing I can

281
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: remember creating this much buzz was when they traded third

282
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: and fifth round picks in for Mark Brunel, and at

283
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: that point no one knew Mark. Mark was the third

284
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: quarterback behind bred Farvan Tidette Mark in Green Bay. This

285
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: is the biggest single signing in franchise history. It's interesting

286
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: what quarterback means. We all know what quarterback means, but Folds,

287
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: if you look at the lists, probably isn't the number

288
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: one free agent available, number quarterback for agent available probably

289
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: and the number one free Asian available Malik if you remember,

290
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: was the he was the consensus number one free agent available.

291
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: But it's quarterbacks. So it's bigger, dramatically bigger. And add

292
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: end that you're getting a guy who is known for

293
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: Philly Special and the Super Bowl m VP and hoisting

294
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: that trophy. This there, it's not close. This is the

295
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: biggest single one day signing in franchise history, which brings

296
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: us to a very critical point in Big three. Yes,

297
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: he's absolutely a househole name at this point, so much

298
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: so that my mother even knew who he was, who

299
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: never watches football. Roses. On top of it, Big thing

300
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: three is the draft. Now that you reportedly have holes

301
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: in the building, you need to address the lack of

302
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: weapons to make this guy successful, one of them being

303
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: you want to protect that guy that you're not paying

304
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: two million dollars a year for lack of weapons. I

305
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: mean going and drafting maybe DK Metcalf the wide receiver,

306
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: getting tight ends offensive line. It's just an option, John.

307
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: Big picture, you now must hit on your draft picks.

308
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: You have to draft because they play on rookie contracts.

309
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: At fixed numbers that are inigible. You have to hit

310
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: on the picks. The pressure is now ratcheted up. And

311
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: keep in mind you bring up dk Metcalf rookie receivers

312
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: is John has pointed out, it takes him a couple

313
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: of years. Right. You have to go back to Odell

314
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Who had ninety one catches and yards and

315
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns as a rookie, to find an impact rookie receiver, right,

316
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: and he's rare tight ends? Gosh, I mean you have

317
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: to go way way back to find a guy that.

318
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean. I get a Dallas Goddard made an impact

319
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: last year and he was a second round pick, but

320
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: first round picks at tight end, the history is not

321
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: good in terms of first year and I guess John,

322
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: that's my big point with this draft is you're not

323
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: drafting for one year. You're drafting these guys looking at

324
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: your future. But the thing is when you bring in

325
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: Nick Foles tight against the cap with not a ton

326
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: of weapons on this side, now everyone's looking at guys

327
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: that you need to bring in to have a first

328
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: year impact. I think the best chance of predicting the

329
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: draft correctly for this team is to predict offensive line

330
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: in the first round, tight end in the second roundly,

331
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: and then Uh, what I'm curious about is what they

332
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: do at tight end. I think they have to bring

333
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: into to get better, and there will be tight ends

334
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: in the second and third round can help. Do you

335
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: bring in two in the draft? Do you you know

336
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: which would really be? Uh? You know you talk about

337
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: all in on a position, or do you go after

338
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: a Mercedes Lewis level guy. I'm not saying Mercedes comes back,

339
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: but a a older veteran at that spot. Their in

340
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: position where they can't do anything they want and that's

341
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: the first time they've been bucks. Do you have that

342
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: right well for for a level guy like that, I

343
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: think you could make room for one at at the three.

344
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: You know you can push out a little bit without

345
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: getting again, I know you have ninety nine scar or uh,

346
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some dead money every year when the

347
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: cap is million, you're gonna have a little bit. If

348
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: you have five percent of your cap and dead money,

349
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: you're a pretty good spot. You just can't do with

350
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: all twenty two guys like they were doing at that point.

351
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: Keep in mind they've got sixteen and a half million

352
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: and dead money this year for Blake, So that's really

353
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 1: tightening up what they can do. Um, I would be

354
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: surprised if it's not all offense in the first three

355
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: rounds with offensive line first, and I think it's gonna

356
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: be too offensive lineman in a tight end in the

357
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: first three I'm with you. I just want to set

358
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: expectations because people now are going to expect that you're

359
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: going to bring in guys who are going to perform

360
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: at a high level immediately. But that's not going to

361
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: happen exactly. And I'll use a great example in the

362
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: Patriots took Rob Gronkowski in the second round and Aaron

363
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: Hernandez in the in the fourth round, and by those

364
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: two players were a dominant combination that looked like it

365
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: might be a trend. Teams followed it was. It was

366
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: that unusual. It took two years with Tom Brady as

367
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback and Bill Belichick is the coach for those

368
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: guys to not that they didn't have moments, because they did,

369
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: but by you're like, watch out for what they're doing

370
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: with the tight ends. So if you bring in two

371
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: tight ends, hey, I think that's a great move. It's

372
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: a position that's gotten more importance in the NFL in

373
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: recent years. However, it's a move for one based on

374
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: history and it doesn't seem so crucial, especially after combine

375
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: talk to go tight end at seven because we've heard

376
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: that this is one of the best tight end classes

377
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: that they've seen in years. So to go and make

378
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: that seventh round pick on that when you are seventh

379
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: pick overall, right, Well, basically what we're talking about is

380
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: you have to have an eye on the future at

381
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: all times. But this franchise is all in on right now.

382
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: We'll see how that one. You don't draft or follow

383
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: the draft expecting these guys depeat in their first year.

384
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: That happens at running back, uh, and that's about the

385
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: only position where it happens. Corner sometimes as well, But

386
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: the positions we're talking about, it doesn't happen. Well, there's

387
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement of Jacksonville obviously a quarterback right

388
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. M v P reportedly will stick with it.

389
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: Reportedly because the Jaguars have said nothing they can even

390
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: though we're in the legal tampering window, they aren't saying anything.

391
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: The earliest you'll hear anything is four o'clock tomorrow. And

392
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: obviously the story will continue over the course of the week.

393
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. When we return, we'll talk about

394
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: other areas for the Jaguars. When this is a sound

395
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: of a waterfall in nature, there's no cause for concern.

396
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: But when it's a sound of water gushing through your

397
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: living room ceiling because of Piper's inside the wall, there's

398
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: reason to panic unless you pick up the phone and

399
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: call one eight hundred serf Pro. Only the cleanup and

419
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: around this a long time and I should not be surprised,

420
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: but I'm marveling at just how the NFL has soaked

421
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,960

Speaker 1: everybody is in on the Twitter twitter spheres. That was

423
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: I was alarmed by that as well, but I like it. Well,

424
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: it's a good word. Don't be alarmed. No one's going

425
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: to get injured. Um, you know what I'm saying, though,

426
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's all attention on this free agent

427
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: stuff and nothing is even final. But you just see

428
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: this player is getting that, this player is getting that,

429
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: that player is getting miss uh and nothing's even official

430
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: until tomorrow. Yeah, It's been said a million times. They

431
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: do a magnificent job of keeping on it themselves in

432
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: the news and the news cycle, to the point where Honestly,

433
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: the off season is extended far longer than it truly

434
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: needs to be, till the third week in June. You're

435
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: coming up now on a on a on a four

436
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: or what a five week period before the draft, which

437
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: is genius on their part because everybody r in the

438
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: mock draft. But you could do it much much quicker um,

439
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: but they won't. It seems like this year compared to

440
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: last year, it's growing every year where so much hype

441
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: is on the millions and millions of dollars. How much

442
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: are they getting paid. It's not how much of an

443
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: impact they're going to make on the team they're going

444
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: to but all about the money. Well, and it's a

445
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: great point. Drag wars fans have not had to know

446
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: much about the salary cap the last five or six years.

447
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: Better brush up on it because for the next few years,

448
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: the cap is going to determine a lot of the

449
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: things that they do, and if you want, you're never

450
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: going to be an expert at it. But if you

451
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: understand the nuances of it and how contracts are structured,

452
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: it will make it easier if were going to understand

453
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 1: the moves that they're making. Well, here's the thing too. Um.

454
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: I think because of the uh, the Paul that the

455
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: stuff that happened in the early two thousands cast that,

456
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: and then because of all the room that they had

457
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: from two thousand thirteen two thousand fifteen, there's a perception,

458
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: and I get questions about it that they're in cap

459
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: hell now right now, they're playing with about the average

460
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: right now, right They're back to normal now they were.

461
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been so long some people don't remember

462
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: the or two thousands. They were an outlier in the

463
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: early two thousands, they had completely mismanaged it to the

464
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: point where it was rare, and then they were also

465
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: an outlier in two thousand twelve and two thousand and

466
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: thirteen when they basically stripped everything down to where you

467
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: had so much cap room. Well, are ever going to

468
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: operate like they did in two thousand and fifteen and

469
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: sixteen with just everything to spend? This is the norm.

470
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: This is what most teams go through. It's why every

471
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: year you see all these teams releasing guys in March.

472
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: It's got to the point where those Arch releases they're

473
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: perceived as teams admitting mistakes more often than not. Now

474
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: they're just teams doing what they planned it right. It's

475
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: worth pointing out that if the Jaguars had hit on

476
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbertt or Blake Bordles, they wouldn't have had that

477
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: much cap room in fifteen sixteen, right, And they haven't

478
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: had to pay a quarterback um, which brings another point.

479
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: Now you've got that, which is about the average, and

480
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: drafting a quarterback at some point in the near future

481
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: is important because having a quarterback who's playing at a

482
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: moderately high level on a rookie deal is the best

483
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: way to run a salary cap. But the big thing

484
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: we've talked about, and we've talked about it without saying it,

485
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: uh succinctly necessarily you mentioned earlier they have to draft well,

486
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: have to draft very well. That's true of every NFL team.

487
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: There is no conceivable way to sustain success signing players

488
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: in the way that the Jaguars have signed them for

489
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: the last three or four years. They know it's not

490
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 1: the model. They said it's not the model when they

491
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: did it. They believed they had to get back to

492
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: a competitive level of talent by doing free agency, but

493
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: they always knew that that's not gonna sustain unless we

494
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: support it. The foundation has to be drafting well as

495
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: we go along. Eventually the free agents fall off and

496
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: then you're and then you're depending on your draft picks

497
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: going forward. Had they drafted well enough so far, we

498
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: don't know yet. I would say it doesn't quite look

499
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: like they have enough, but that'll be determined over the

500
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: last couple of years, over the next couple years. Look,

501
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: two years ago, the New Orleans Saints had a knockout draft,

502
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: right They got the corner from Ohio State in the

503
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: first round, and he really cemented the defense. And on

504
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: the offensive side, Alvin Kamara came you know, late second,

505
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: early third, I forget exactly where, and helped the offense

506
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: come to life and they made a playoff run. Last year,

507
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: the Colts to the exact same thing. They had a

508
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: tremendous draft quint Nelson, Darius leonard Um and up of

509
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: other guys that they're really excited about, and it helped

510
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: get them on some solid footing and got them a

511
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: playoff run. So you've got to have one of those

512
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: kinds of drafts, especially when you my opinion, we're about

513
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: to talk about this, you lack enough on offense to

514
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: make you go whoa Nick Foles is going to need

515
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: some help, So let's go that direction. We're going to

516
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: talk about nick Foles is great. It's a great situation

517
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: to have a quarterback. But and you're gonna lead us off, Yes,

518
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: the big button, the big butts. He's gonna love the

519
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: fact that you said big butts. He comes up Bunny seven.

520
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is great, but he's not Drew Brees and

521
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: he's not Tom Brady. He's going to need running help.

522
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: You look at who he had with the Eagles during

523
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl run to throw to Nelson Aghil or Alshon,

524
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: Jeffrey zach Ertz. You don't have that here in Jacksonville.

525
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: A lot is still depending on the success of Leonard

526
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: for nut Can he stay healthy, can he run aggressive?

527
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: Can he play like the fourth overall pick that they

528
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: want him to play in Right now? I don't trust

529
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: him with that. I don't think we all trust him

530
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: with that because he hasn't shown us that yet. Know

531
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: that this is a guy who was set off to

532
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: the side for the moment because of the quarterback and

533
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: the emphasis on the passing game and talking tight ends

534
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: in the draft. But the reality of it is is

535
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: that this guy here is as important as Fuls this year.

536
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: There's all sorts of questions too with does he fit?

537
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: What Folds is good at um, Folds is very good

538
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: at rp O, very good out of the shotgun. That

539
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been Leonard's thing. Uh, how well does he fit?

540
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: It's gonna be up to de Filipo to mesh that

541
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: and to use him. Um Like Garrett Blunt when the

542
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: Eagles went to the Super Bowl, I think it was

543
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: it was seventeen, a big, powerful runner, but they also

544
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: had other types of running backs around that. Uh. If

545
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: if they keep for Net for next year, which I'm

546
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: convinced now they will, there's always draft date trades you

547
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: never know about that. That remains a possibility. It's going

548
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: to be fascinating to see how he meshes in with

549
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: what they're going to like to do with Folds. Also

550
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: fascinating to see how Folds is going to mention in

551
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: with what they do with for Net. What's most important there.

552
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: There's weapons, but there's not really a blueprint to use them.

553
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: They have to make up their own blueprint. They have

554
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: to add a running back. I think in the draft

555
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: this year. I thought they did last year, because just

556
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: his history would suggest that the style of running you

557
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: weren't going to have him for every game, and of

558
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: course we all know that was the main storyline of

559
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: the season. You've got to go get back and probably

560
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: bring another one or two in as undrafted rookie free agents.

561
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: You've got to go find another Corey Grant. Yeah, and uh,

562
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it will. I don't think the next

563
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: Corey Grant will be Corey Grant. Whoever? Is I just

564
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: a guy who could come out and have an impact.

565
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: But but you need that sort of right now. They don't.

566
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like they have that speed guy. Your

567
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: folds really great at throwing to the backs out of

568
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: the backfield too well. For that's better than people thought

569
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: he was going to be at that. Is that what

570
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: is going to be his bread and butter? I don't know.

571
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: So there are pieces that have to be added. Um,

572
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: running back in those in those top three that we

573
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: were talking about, top four rounds makes sense because you

574
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: can get high impact third fourth round out of running back.

575
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm next. Uh, Nick Foles is great, but I don't

576
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: think the receiving corps is nearly ready to play at

577
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: a high level. This guy right here exemplifies it all.

578
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: You talk to different guys Keenan and and and players,

579
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: and he was really coming on the practice field, and

580
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: then the quad injury set him back six weeks and

581
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: basically took away the second half of his season. He

582
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: wasn't the impact player that we thought he was going

583
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: to be. Um a guy with the first round grade,

584
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: absolutely Pro Bowl kind of measurables. You know, six four,

585
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: the long arms, the big hands, the great speed, um

586
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: and we saw flashes of what he's capable of athletically

587
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: on special teams. He's got to take a big jump,

588
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: and there are guys who last year, in their second season,

589
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: took big jumps. So it's possible that your second round

590
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: pick from seen takes a big jump this year. But

591
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: alongside him you have one guy who last year you

592
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: could count on, indeed, Westbrook, you have Marquis Lee. And

593
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: I saw Marquise to three weeks ago. He's walking straight,

594
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: he's walking fast, he looks good. That's not playing football.

595
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can say. And this is

596
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: the guy that only practiced on Thursdays, maybe Fridays at

597
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: the second half of seventeen. So now you've got a

598
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: guy coming back from a major knee injury. He's only

599
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: going to practice one day a week. I believe in

600
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: Markis maybe he can do that, but it's not as

601
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: if you can go okay, Marky's checked done, finished right,

602
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: and then and then and then Keeling Cole who looked

603
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: like a player on the rise coming out of his

604
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: rookie year, and even the first month of last year

605
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: before he went right down the tubes, where was he?

606
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't a factor in a game the rest of

607
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: the way. In fact, he was a negative factor in

608
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: at least two games that I remember, where he was

609
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 1: dropping passes and and killing drives. So he had one

610
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: great year as a rookie, very good year, and one

611
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: very bad year. So he's somewhere in between. So tell

612
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: me how you don't address the wide receiver corps in

613
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: the draft, but you can't address everything we've already talked about. Um. Yeah, Well,

614
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: I think if they get it, it'll it'll be in

615
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: a low enough round where it's a non factor as

616
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: a rookie because I just don't see them being able

617
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: to strafe again. Their hope is and this is really

618
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: a year I never talked about trading back before a draft,

619
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: because history tells me that unless a team is wanting

620
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: to come up and get a quarterback, it's not as

621
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: easy as you know. You know, you can't just go

622
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: to the draft tree and trade back, you know, or

623
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: or the trade tree. They would I think they would

624
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: love to trade back six spots in the first round

625
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: and pick up an extra second or third round pick,

626
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: whatever the number or the round would be, so they

627
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: could get another way. These guys you're talking about um,

628
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: But no team is just gonna volunteer to help him

629
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: out of the goodness of their heart. At some point,

630
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: when you are out of cap space and you're in

631
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: a situation the Jaguars in, you must trust your judgment

632
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: and you must have guys developed from within. That's what

633
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: they have to do a receiver. There's no guarantee. But

634
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: they can't just they don't have the money to just

635
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: sort of keep throwing free agent money at their problem.

636
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: My thing is this, it's your rely on ifs if

637
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: d J. Chark is ready to take that step. Probability

638
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: is that he is. But if if Marquise Lee is healthy,

639
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: he told me, I'll be ready for Opening Day. But

640
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: but there's an if, right, if heeling Cole is able

641
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: to find where he was the second after that, if

642
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: if if, I mean you wouldn't plan your family budget

643
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: on well if if if hey, let's go right, you'd

644
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: have a contingency plan. You need a lot of things

645
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: to go right. Maybe it will, Maybe Fools elevates their

646
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: game the better for what reportedly the Jaguars you're paying him.

647
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: I see this receiving corpse of something that has to

648
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: be addressed, even if you only get, even if you

649
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: only get a small contribution from them in your one

650
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: because remember Falls deal is not a one year deal.

651
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: It's not a twenty nineteen deal. You're you're banking on

652
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: this for twenty one probably too. You're gonna need weapons

653
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: for years to come. And it was interesting the response

654
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: at least on social media from the receivers of the

655
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars having out was D J. Chart and D Westbrook

656
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: all excited that Falls was coming. We know how good

657
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: Foals is with the go routes bombing it down the field,

658
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: especially in the playoffs. We know the speed chart has

659
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: especially on special teams, but we've never really seen that

660
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: go route ability from Chart just yet. Maybe they're fine.

661
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll find I think on Sunday April you're gonna

662
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: be a disappointed man. Well, we'll find out. And yeah,

663
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: and as far as receivers, that the thing is that

664
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: this team, I've always been the best available player. Guy,

665
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: take the best available player, because when don't you need

666
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: the best player on the board. But this team, after

667
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: signing Nick Foles, has become a needs based team. Now

668
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: maybe best player available a need will match up with

669
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: it offensive tackle at seven or a tight end at

670
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: thirty five. Maybe it feels like they're fortunate on that

671
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: front in the draft because and getting to the next point,

672
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: offensive line, you like that, Uh, there's some sort of

673
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: graphic needs to go up at this point. Folds is great,

674
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: but offensive line needs to get better. Um. I think

675
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: that I am directing the show, Joe, thank you very much. Um.

676
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: I think they will go offensive line in the top ten. Uh.

677
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 1: It feels to me like a year and it doesn't

678
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: always work this way where the draft lines up with

679
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: what they need around Folds. I don't think that means

680
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: that these guys are going to come in and be

681
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers immediately. I don't expect that from rookies. Ever,

682
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: but John Taylor, right tackle from Florida. It seems to fit,

683
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: seems to fit. There are so many great defensive alignment

684
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks as predictor to get pushed up that you're

685
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: going to have if not your pick of offensive linemen,

686
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: pick of enough offensive aligneman that you you should feel safe,

687
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: relatively safe at that spot there. And then you also

688
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: happen to have a year where there's enough tight ends

689
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: where you won't necessarily cry in your beer if you

690
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: if you have to pass on t J. Hockens hock

691
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: and go a different direction with that. So I think

692
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: it lines up for them how much immediate impact they

693
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: will get at that we'll see again. Wouldn't surprise me

694
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: if they go ahead and take two offensive linemen in

695
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: the first four rounds to help that area as opposed

696
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: to taking the receiver that you said desperately want, Well,

697
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: I think they need it. Yeah, and and and if

698
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: they've become if they've become a need based team this year,

699
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: I think they are. I think it might marry up

700
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: like you said, offensive line, tight end, offensive line or receiver.

701
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: They have two third round picks, so maybe offensive line

702
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: tight end, tight end receiver who knows maybe they touch

703
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: a receiver at all. I don't want to do that,

704
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: but maybe they don't. Well, you can see scenario there

705
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: where offensive line, tight end second, offensive line third, and

706
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver third with running back forth. Uh, running back

707
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: forth is not an absurdly low spot to expect production

708
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: out of that position. And again that's all based on

709
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: how do we line up these four or five picks

710
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: to get the most out of their rookie year. What

711
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: worries you is if you're thinking that way, you're not

712
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: necessary thinking are we getting the best you have to be? Yeah,

713
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: you got to be looking at and I told me

714
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: they have to be looking at wide receiver. Well yeah,

715
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: but again I got an awful lot from a draft.

716
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: But I but I cautioned that by saying that it's

717
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: the draft is not just about nineteen, it's about twenty one,

718
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: and you've got to be looking for weapons for him,

719
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: not just this year, but in future years. Yeah. I

720
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: just wonder where you're where realistically you're going to get

721
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,479
Speaker 1: help a wide receiver quickly because I don't think there's

722
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: a top ten guy. I don't think DK metcalf is

723
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: a guy who comes in and makes a huge mediate impact.

724
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: He's arguably the best receiver. Uh beyond that, if you

725
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: don't have special as you alluded to earlier, I don't

726
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: think you're gonna get impact as a rookie anyway. So

727
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry that now. But I want more talent. Remember,

728
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: and don't forget Antonio Brown, who was just shipped off

729
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: with the one of the highest deals that he's the

730
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: highest paid receiver for the moment in the NFL. It

731
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: was a sixth round pick six and he started his

732
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: career returning kicks. So you know, there are guys who

733
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: can impact you in some way. I just want to

734
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: see them grow the talent pool. And I don't care whether,

735
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: and I don't know whether a guy because he's drafted

736
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: in the fourth round cannot come in and make a

737
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: couple of plays. You just you just need more talent.

738
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: I think needs more talented receiver. All Right, we'll take

739
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: a break, comeback and look at the ozone snap shot

768
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: not how it works. What do you got to do

771
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: o'clock tomorrow. Probably not. So he's on vacation until four

772
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: o'clock tomorrow. This mail bag, I'm sure, hey, before we

773
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: do that. Um, congratulations to Malie Jackson. Uh. He was

774
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: one of the good guys. When he was one of

775
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: the best guys, one of the best, one of the

776
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: very very best guys. Sorry to see him go, just

777
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: like Carlos Hyde, one of the good guys. Yeah. Ah,

778
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: Malik though, was tremendous. He always was. He was good

779
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: when when they were good, he was good when they

780
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: were not good. He was still good well and he

781
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: defined I mean, Malik should be remembered too. For a

782
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. A two thousand. He got here in sixteen, right,

783
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: not an easy year for a guy who had never

784
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: experienced anything in the NFL, but winning and Super Bowl

785
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: a lot of eyes on him. I have seen free

786
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: agents with big expectations, and he played okay that year,

787
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: but there was no way for him to live up

788
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: to the contract in the eyes of the fans. You

789
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: see a lot of guys wilt in that situation. You

790
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: see a lot of guys ducking through the bathroom area

791
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: to get away from the media. Uh, ducking into the

792
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: place where the media can't go. He never did that,

793
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: and he learned how to deal with it during that year.

794
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: Um was as much of a leader and tried as

795
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: hard on those fronts as you possibly can to speak

796
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: for the team and to keep things as positive as

797
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: he could. Uh, you're right, one of the good guys.

798
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: And furthermore, I'm not sure if Kalais boy a Church

799
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: happened if Malik hadn't signed the year before. When Malik signed,

800
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: it shocked people that the best free agent the class

801
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: came to Jacksonville. Rightly or wrongly. There was a perception

802
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: that wouldn't happen Malik did give the franchise some credibility

803
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: at the time that it needed it um and now

804
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: you're not really surprised when it folds, even for the

805
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: money signs with Jacksonville, one of the top free agents.

806
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: You weren't surprised when Boy did. You were surprise when

807
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: Norwell did it. Malik and he didn't do to have

808
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: the goodness of his heart. He got paid, but but

809
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: it still was a moment for the team where some

810
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: perception change, maybe folds changes it. I don't know if

811
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: if he signs here and we get the great press

812
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: conference on Thursday, but my favorite all time press conference

813
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: was Malik's when he said, hey, look, they only guaranteed

814
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: forty two million of the ninety I want it all. Hey,

815
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: it's pro football, It's about the money. I appreciated the candor.

816
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: He was here for the money, and he was. He

817
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: was the kind of guy that you say is a

818
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: true pro. He's here for the money, but he never

819
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: acted beyond saying that. He never acted like a diva.

820
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: He always wanted to try to earn it. And again,

821
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: there were a lot of moments where a lot of

822
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: guys duck and duck the responsibility Malik never did never

823
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: did proa. Now onto the ozone. Do we have to

824
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: play the theme music again? Please know not the song again? Jeez?

825
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: Sam from Matt from Orlando, Folks, specular thing about Nick

826
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: Foles being the next big thing and Jack's are blowing

827
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 1: of smoke. He flamed down in Philly, flamed out in Casey,

828
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: flamed out in St. Louis folds an excellent, if not

829
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: the goat of backup quarterbacks. To expect become to Jack's

830
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: and lead us to the super Bowl is wishful thinking. Wait,

831
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: this is last week, so just play back my answer

832
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: from last week. Go ahead and read the read the

833
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: ones that we got a new one. Sam from Orlando,

834
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: it seems like everyone wants to go all offense in

835
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: the drafted free agency. I asked them to look at

836
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: the Jep Tart at corner, safety and linebacker. It's scary.

837
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: We need talent in depth everywhere. Well this seems and

838
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: Brian you can speak to this too. Uh, Everybody, when

839
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: you're a fan of a team and an ardent follower

840
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: of a team, you tend to get very myopic on

841
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: that team. And the depth is terrible. Our fourth cornerback

842
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: isn't going to come in and be as good as

843
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: Jay Ramsey. Well, no team has that kind of depth.

844
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: So a depth in the NFL is a little bit

845
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: of a myth. Uh, if you've got it, you don't

846
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: have it for very long because free agency doesn't allow it.

847
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: Most teams don't have it. I get questions all the time,

848
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: our offensive line depth is terrible. Well, go find me

849
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: an offensive line in the NFL that's deep, and I'll

850
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: show you one that probably isn't as deep as you think,

851
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: and that isn't going to be deep the next year

852
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: because Jeremy Parnell is going to go sign with somebody

853
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: else when you come as a free agent. So, um, yes,

854
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: they need talent. Uh, they need to draft. Well, but

855
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's particularly a crisis that is

856
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: solo to the Jaguars. Well, here's a great example of depth. Uh,

857
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: if you have a position group, one position group on

858
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: your roster where you have three or four guys, you're deep. Um,

859
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: if you have too, I mean you're ridiculously wealthy. Right.

860
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: I think they are kind of deep at corners so right,

861
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: and and defensive line. But last year they thought they

862
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: were deep at running back, and they had versatility. You

863
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: had Leonard for Net and t J Yelden and Corey

864
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: Grant and you thought, man, this team has a wealth

865
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: of richest running back because you have three guys that

866
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: can do different things. Well right, Uh, when that obviously

867
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: hurt and Corey Grant hurt in Kansas City and then

868
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: you're left to trade for Carlos Hyde, who good riddance

869
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: is now gone. And you had, uh, David Williams who

870
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: you brought in from the Denver Broncos, and t J

871
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: yelled in and it was just it was a mess,

872
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: and you started the season feeling like you were deep.

873
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it goes away in an instant, absolutely, and

874
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: by the way, Mollie Jackson, yeah right, or or the

875
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: catch cat cap catches up to you. You had a

876
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: ridiculously wealthy defensive line. But you have to trade the

877
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: Fowler because you know you're not going to keep him,

878
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: and you have to release Malik because you know you

879
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: can't keep him in restructure Marcel. So a lot of

880
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: the depth now is dependent on whether Taven Brian can

881
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: step in and replace Malik Jackson. Malik was once a

882
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, Brian a first round pick. Okay, well,

883
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean you should we'll see. Okay, let's go all

884
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: the way to Mexico. Ready, John, I'm very happy with

885
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: the recent cuts, especially the Barnell cut. He stuck. It

886
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: really was time to move on from him. Yeah, and

887
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: way to put it straight. I disagree. And this again

888
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 1: is one where people watching a team get locked in

889
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: on a guy making a few mistakes. Uh yeah, part

890
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: when I gave up some plays. He wasn't an elite

891
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: right tackle. Well, if there was a speed rusher over there, right,

892
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: he was gonna struggle. That was never his forte And

893
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: you you probably described twenty five starting right tackles in

894
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: the NFL just now. If you you had better be

895
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: able to win a he didn't stink. You had better

896
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: be able to win in the NFL with guys on

897
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: your offensive line of the quality of a J Can

898
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: and Jerry Parnell and everybody's anxious to get rid of him,

899
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: and and Partnell's gone. I'm assuming a J will to

900
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: You're not going to start five Pro bowlers on your

901
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: offensive line. Those guys were fine starters. Um, they were

902
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: an elite starter. Sure, you'd liked upgrade as soon as

903
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: you upgrade those though you're gonna be paying those guys

904
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: so much that you can't pay the other guy. You

905
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: can pay about two or three offensive linemen of the

906
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: elite you need to be able to get by, get

907
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: by with guys like Parnell and Camp. You'd like to

908
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: have Parnell back in one sense, because he was better

909
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: than just serviceable, I get it. I mean structurally from

910
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: a strategic standpoint, you needed to help him with the

911
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: tight end. And and Marcedes left and all of a

912
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: sudden he was exposed when speed rushers came over to

913
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: that side. And and I mean he kind of looked

914
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: like the tin man at one point there. He was

915
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 1: so put together with braces his knees and his elbows,

916
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: and he struggled with some of the injuries along that

917
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: that front. But he was he was good enough that

918
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: you could win with him. And and what made him

919
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: better was he was six million dollars, which is ridiculously

920
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: cheap for a better than average right back. Problem is

921
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: you were up against the cap and he was a

922
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: straight cash savings. There was no dead money at all,

923
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: and it became time. You've had him for four years,

924
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: I know. But but he's a guy that if you

925
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: weren't up against the cap a six million dollar right tackle,

926
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: you probably keep right. But but you have to be

927
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: able to move on. That's the spot where you have

928
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: to be able to draft. You have to be able

929
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: to plug it in. Uh. And here's something may surprise people.

930
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: A J Cann'll get paid. Oh yeah, if we're talking

931
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: about that side of the four year starter, he's a

932
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: four year starter. He's probably top what forty guards in

933
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. He's a tough guy. He played fort with

934
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: a hamstring all your last paid. Well, I don't. I

935
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: don't doubt that at all. And but let's go back

936
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: to the Jags offensive line. Let's just say, for arguments sake,

937
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: they draft you on Taylor will richardson, their fourth round

938
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: pick a year ago, was thought to be a guy

939
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: who could play guard. You couldn't need him step and

940
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:51,240
Speaker 1: play guard. Yeah, I mean that. I don't think counting

941
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 1: on him to start. I think they've got to get

942
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,959
Speaker 1: one more guy exactly. But but he should be able

943
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: to compete in training camp and push for that job. Yeah.

944
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: If he can't, it's a problem. Fourth round pick you

945
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: need to play. All right, Let's go to Mike from Atlanta,

946
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: Georgia to wrap it up. Aside from quarterback, what position

947
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: do you see the Jaguar spending the most on in

948
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: free agency? Well, you know, if they do, then I

949
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: think it's either offensive line or tight end. At a

950
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: lower level. Um, I think what's going to be fascinating

951
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: in the next few days weeks is probably days. Um

952
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: what do they do with their own offensive linemen who

953
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 1: are free? That includes Shatley, uh, Flowers, Wells, and I'm

954
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: missing one Josh Walker. You know, if none of those

955
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: guys returned, you're talking about some heavy lifting to get

956
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: done somewhere. I don't know what they're process is gonna be.

957
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: I know they would like to get with them back,

958
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: whether or not they'll be able to afford to get

959
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: some of them back all of a sudden, as much

960
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: as those guys aren't your front line guys, if you

961
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: don't have them, then then all of a sudden, your

962
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: depth it really does become an issue. I would again,

963
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 1: that's why I'm so interested to see how they structured

964
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: Nick Foles deal so that on Thursday they still have

965
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: the flexibility. You gotta have some and you gotta have

966
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: someone reserved for the season, so that they can go

967
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: and get a couple of guys. Because whereas depth might

968
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: not be a problem in a lot of places because

969
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: no teams have it, those guys have all been contributors,

970
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: especially last year with those injuries along the front. You

971
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 1: hate to let those guys that you've developed just walk. Yeah.

972
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm curious on Wells what happens to him because if

973
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: he had been able to play out last season, uh,

974
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: playing as well as he was at left tackle, he

975
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: would have gotten big money on free agency. His injuries,

976
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: he's never been able to help. Yeah, so do they

977
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: trust him as a swing tackle? Does somebody else? When

978
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: as a swing tackle, he's a guy that's fascinating for

979
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: his sake. I wish you'd be able to say healthy

980
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,000

1005
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: said all along, the reports are that the Jaguars have

1006
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: reached an agreement with Nick Foles. They have said nothing.

1007
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: They cannot until tomorrow at four o'clock, so stay tuned

1008
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: for further information. Man. We'll wrap it up with as always,

1009
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: Ashley asks, all right, John, please focus on the game.

1010
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:21,439
Speaker 1: I think I think you might have news. All right there,

1011
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 1: never mind Sean Gibson, Yeah, is that true? Chafter just

1012
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: tweeted it out a minute ago. Sean Gibson to the

1013
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: Texans who are replacing Tyrone Mack. Yeah, good for him,

1014
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: and I always like to get I didn't want to, Okay,

1015
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, breaking news, all right. I don't know if

1016
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: you guys saw the tweets, but we would have them

1017
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: on this show. Jalen Ramsey and Leonard Fournett reacting to

1018
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: the reported Fulls deal. Jalen Ramsey eyes bag, securing them bag.

1019
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: We've heard him say that multiple times, Leonard, a lot

1020
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: of money getting tossed around. I see. The question is

1021
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: do Jalen Ramsey and Leonard for Nett have a solid

1022
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: argument that they should be talking about securing the bat.

1023
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: I knew you'd like this one, John. They don't have

1024
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: to be grouped together. If one doesn't the other one doesn't,

1025
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: that's cool. I mean, yeah, twenty. Absolutely, Um, although you

1026
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: know he doesn't have the leverage that he thinks that

1027
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: he does because and he's a smart guy, he knows this. Um.

1028
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 1: The Jaggers have the fifth year option on him and

1029
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: the franchise tag um and as much as he wants

1030
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: a deal this year, they don't have the money to

1031
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: give him a deal this year. They just don't. So yes,

1032
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: pay twenty as soon as you can afford to pay him.

1033
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, Yeah, what are we tweeting for? I mean,

1034
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming that's somewhere inside Leonard By now understands

1035
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: he has to earn that. Still that based on what

1036
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: he's done so far, I don't think they'll be a

1037
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: big contract. There's absolutely an incredible amount of potential to

1038
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 1: get the big contract. It's all out in front of him.

1039
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,720
Speaker 1: He hasn't blown that yet. Twenties deserves it that question.

1040
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: As you said, I don't think it's going to get

1041
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 1: to the franchise tag out. I think it's I think

1042
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: my guess is next off season figuring out Jalen even

1043
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: at the end of this season, figuring that out, how

1044
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: to maneuver that is going to become the priority, and

1045
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: they'll do everything they can not to make that a

1046
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: tension thing. But twenties seven, No, not yet anything from

1047
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: unique yesterday, because he's the other guy that after this

1048
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: year they're going to have to address. I'm sure it

1049
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: was something of like strife for greatness type of deal,

1050
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: never calling on anyone out. But he's gonna have a

1051
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder now if he didn't before, he'll

1052
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 1: have it now. That's scoff that John did about twenty seven.

1053
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: When I read that, I was like, exactly, come on,

1054
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: man with him. They've got the option. They two more

1055
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: years on the base and the option and the franchise.

1056
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a size either the details just

1057
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: performance on the future. He's got to work to do

1058
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: before he's I think I would hope that he gets

1059
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: that better. He didn't feel like last year he did

1060
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: at some point he's got to get that or that

1061
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, he has the wrong agent, because someone

1062
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: should be spelling it out for him daily. Alright, final,

1063
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: Ashlan asks wrapped the show. If Fools is here like

1064
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: he reportedly is going to be, who is going to

1065
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: be Fool's bff in the locker room? Who's this guy

1066
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: his lunch buddy? On the weekends hanging out. I have

1067
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: some ideas, but I'm not quite sure. I think Calais

1068
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: is going to be a good one. The leadership qualities.

1069
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: They'll definitely get along. There could be some curveballs though. Max. Yeah,

1070
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna like Max a lot. Well, Jalen's

1071
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: his guy. He can't have both of them. No. I meant, look,

1072
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: Max has a lot of love to share, and I

1073
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: think that Max can find room in his heart to

1074
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: welcome Nick Foles to town and spend just as much

1075
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: time with his camera on the quarterback as he does

1076
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: the cornerback. I think Max understands it's a quarterbacks games.

1077
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: You're so selfish. Speaking of love, there is a lot

1078
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: of self love over there. I have to pay all

1079
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: my friends, So I just figure at some point self

1080
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 1: loathing over there, so I'll someday throw much and we'll

1081
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: be best friends. That's what John saying. Now, I mean,

1082
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, I I everything you hear about Folds

1083
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: is that he commanded an enormous amount of respect by

1084
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: the way he carried himself, by his actions during the

1085
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: playoff runs, and how he was able as a back

1086
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: up quarterback to naturally assume a leadership role. You would

1087
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: think that is a big reason why the Jaguars trusted

1088
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: the payment and investment in him. Uh, that I'm not

1089
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: sure I needed. That'll happen naturally, but I don't think

1090
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: fitting in will be an issue. If everything you've heard

1091
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: about it, he'll fit in a different way than Blake.

1092
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's a different kind of leadership. Everybody loved Blake,

1093
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: that would being around him. I think got Folds will

1094
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: command respect any more traditional quarterback sense. Well, and just

1095
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: from the number of former players that he played with

1096
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: who we're tweeting yesterday in support of Fools and congratulating him. Uh,

1097
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: your point was well taken. Do you need to go

1098
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: how to strap my team? You're out next week? Uh? Yes,

1099
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: more room for you by the dentist appointing, more room

1100
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: for you. Fascinating. Thank you for telling that'll do it

1101
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: for our show. Thanks to Joe and Max and everyone

1102
00:59:48,080 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: we're watching, and we'll see you next week. M two
