Speaker 1: It is Thursday July. This is happy album and now
Speaker 1: a guy who can't believe Claire kicked Collins to the
Speaker 1: curb even before the whole thing started. J Pace, I
Speaker 1: don't know what that means, no idea. Welcome in at
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour. It's Thursday July again from the home office,
Speaker 1: the last time in the stadium in studio March nineteen.
Speaker 1: We continue from self isolation. We've got quite a program today,
Speaker 1: planted to get to as some rookies around the league
Speaker 1: are reporting, some quarterbacks showing up. Veterans are scheduled to
Speaker 1: show up next week. Jeff Loghman will join us. Jaguars
Speaker 1: analysts will break some of that down and what remains
Speaker 1: in the negotiations. We'll hear from Jaguars dot Com reporter
Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan. She's been busy on the Jaguars social channels
Speaker 1: this week with some interviews with Jaguars players. Analyst Tony
Speaker 1: Basselli will join us around four thirty five today. We'll
Speaker 1: go around the National Football League as well. Bachelorette I'm
Speaker 1: told was that open. I I would have no idea.
Speaker 1: I have never watched that television program. Jeff Loghuman joins us. Now, Jeff,
Speaker 1: I'm guessing if I were a betting man that you've
Speaker 1: never watched the Bachelorette either, Well, I was. I'm personally JP,
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the Bachelor show. Oh the
Speaker 1: other one? Okay? Heck no, I haven't watched that show
Speaker 1: and I haven't watched the other one. Is there a
Speaker 1: Bachelor show anyway? I think there is, But you know,
Speaker 1: you fool me. I don't watch Joe he Fortunato, he
Speaker 1: knows he's he's a big fan of fairly so he
Speaker 1: put the the open together there? Oh my god? In this?
Speaker 1: What's up? Did it come to? How's your week? Today's
Speaker 1: a great day? Today is uh, today is July tyree,
Speaker 1: which is my dad's birthday. Al Right, Mr Lockhaman, how
Speaker 1: old is Mr Lockhaman? Today? He's got a big one
Speaker 1: today now he's a big eight zero. Wow. Yeah, so well,
Speaker 1: happy birthdays. I will pass it on. I will pass
Speaker 1: it on to him. We got we got big plans
Speaker 1: and uh so far we've had a pancake breakfast and
Speaker 1: hanging out a little bit and we're gonna have some
Speaker 1: peza tonight. And you know, so with all the worldwide pandemic. Obviously,
Speaker 1: trying to be careful and all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: so we're not out hitting the hitting the bar scene
Speaker 1: or bar hopping or anything with pot when he's turning eighty.
Speaker 1: Good idea. Jeff Jeff Lockman analys reports about fifteen twenty
Speaker 1: minutes ago, Logs at the NFL wants to finalize a
Speaker 1: deal with the players, so siation by Sunday or virtual
Speaker 1: work could continue indefinitely. Sunday is when the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: the Texans rookies are supposed to begin strength and conditioning.
Speaker 1: There's still that conversation between the the p A in
Speaker 1: the league about money, mainly what happens if the season
Speaker 1: shortened to the players get their full salary, and the
Speaker 1: spread impact of a potential revenue shortfall um that the
Speaker 1: players apparently reportedly wanted over in eleven years cb A
Speaker 1: rather than two years. The next this season and next
Speaker 1: is the NFL is proposed. So that's the one thing
Speaker 1: left blogs and it sounds like they're um putting a
Speaker 1: deadline of Sunday on it too. Go back home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if if a deadline like that is
Speaker 1: truly gonna work. You know, the NFL is essentially trying
Speaker 1: to save the season. Because even if you're you're lacking
Speaker 1: a lot of the revenue streams, the typical revenue streams
Speaker 1: that you have with fans in the seats and concessions
Speaker 1: and part gain and in local ladd revenue, sponsorship, et cetera.
Speaker 1: I mean, the TV revenue is immense. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: you're talking that that alone essentially would keep any NFL
Speaker 1: team afloat, you know, so you don't want to lose that,
Speaker 1: and so you've got to try to preserve that, try
Speaker 1: to make that make sure that that can happen if
Speaker 1: if you're trying to accomplish financial stability, but you've got
Speaker 1: to be able to do that while trying to do
Speaker 1: all the safety things that you can to make sure
Speaker 1: that the players are comfortable and the coaching staffs are comfortable,
Speaker 1: the staff of the organizations that they're comfortable. So I
Speaker 1: mean it's quite a challenge. And then I know that
Speaker 1: there's even though you mentioned this weekend as a deadline,
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's kind of really other deadlines too,
Speaker 1: and that you want to make sure that from the
Speaker 1: owner standpoint, you don't want to get started. And then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you stop. And then from the
Speaker 1: player's standpoint, because if you start to play one or
Speaker 1: two games, then the players are going to get their money.
Speaker 1: And when when with the owners or the players that
Speaker 1: you don't want to end up having to stop before
Speaker 1: you get started if you want to get your money,
Speaker 1: because then you're just not gonna get paid at all,
Speaker 1: you know. So for the owners, I think from their standpoint,
Speaker 1: it's kind of either all or nothing. Either let's get
Speaker 1: this started and have a whole season, or let's just
Speaker 1: not get it started at all, because I mean, we
Speaker 1: don't want to pay salaries for two weeks and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we have to shut down, and
Speaker 1: then we still have to pay all the all the
Speaker 1: salaries that are are going to be guaranteed at that point.
Speaker 1: So it's an interesting situation and it's a complex situation.
Speaker 1: And uh, and I think the NFL is certainly committed.
Speaker 1: I mean I read the and saw that they had
Speaker 1: committed with the company to where it would do the
Speaker 1: testing or handle all the bulk of the testing for
Speaker 1: COVID for the entire NFL. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: true or not. We're talking like seventy million commitment. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's significant. That from what I read, that includes
Speaker 1: players on a daily basis until there's a point where
Speaker 1: there's a percentage of negatives. That's I forget the exact
Speaker 1: number of negatives they have to have to make every yea, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's a league wide deal. And I think the teams,
Speaker 1: each individual team would have to pay for additional tests
Speaker 1: over a certain number each day. Yeah. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean so they're they're getting all their ducks in a row.
Speaker 1: I guess you could say, to try to make the
Speaker 1: season happen. What are you shocked? Dogs? You're you can't
Speaker 1: be shocked that the last thing that it's going to
Speaker 1: come down to his money. You could have done that
Speaker 1: first before you do the testing stuff. It's really well well,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I don't want to say it's all
Speaker 1: it's only about money, because I mean it's really not
Speaker 1: just about money. I mean money is a big part
Speaker 1: of it, but safety and and the players, health and
Speaker 1: well being, in the in the staff, safety and health
Speaker 1: and well being. I mean those things are all a
Speaker 1: big part of it too. And they think that they
Speaker 1: have that part of it solves so now they're moving
Speaker 1: on to the money side of things, So so there's
Speaker 1: a lot to consider and uh and I know that,
Speaker 1: uh from the team's standpoint, I mean, they're all essentially
Speaker 1: preparing to make this happen. Um be even us, I mean,
Speaker 1: what what what's our role going to be? How much
Speaker 1: exposure do we get to the players? How much are
Speaker 1: we going to be allowed to even see anything? You know,
Speaker 1: because you don't allow a lot of media members around
Speaker 1: your players. I mean, so there's there's even plans that
Speaker 1: are being put in place now to regulate any kind
Speaker 1: of exposure to the players from a media standpoint, from
Speaker 1: any outside kind of contact standpoint. So, look, the league
Speaker 1: is ready to make this happen, and I think it's
Speaker 1: great because I think people would be thrilled to have
Speaker 1: a little bit of normalcy. But at the same token,
Speaker 1: you know, you just want to make sure that everybody
Speaker 1: is comfortable with that, and that's I think why they
Speaker 1: also have the opt out ability for players that maybe
Speaker 1: don't want to do it. Jeff Lockman with US Jaguars
Speaker 1: analyst on Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday. Can let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, what would your comfort level be?
Speaker 1: I mean, let's say let's say you're a coach. Okay,
Speaker 1: your coach, you have a wife, you have kids at home.
Speaker 1: You know, they're various stages from high school down to
Speaker 1: let's say, you know, fifth grade. What would your comfort
Speaker 1: level be. It's a lot of movies. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of moving parts. I'll say that because it's not a
Speaker 1: true bubble. You know, you're going home, you're interacting, you're
Speaker 1: coming back. Everybody else and that a so called work
Speaker 1: bubble is doing that, but it's not a true bubble.
Speaker 1: You're going out of the bubble coming back. So even
Speaker 1: with everyday testing is still a day behind. Um. So yeah,
Speaker 1: if that were my second stands, I would feel a
Speaker 1: little bit differently than I do as a single person
Speaker 1: going to work. Sure, and I think I think also
Speaker 1: with from that standpoint, I mean, here, here's the other
Speaker 1: part of that. You know, the NBA supposedly they've had
Speaker 1: guys that have violated that bubble or that are thinking
Speaker 1: about violating that bubble. At the NFL players, we're not
Speaker 1: talking about keeping them in one city and keeping them
Speaker 1: in a bubble. I mean they have to try to
Speaker 1: execute that bubble themselves, right, I mean it's on them
Speaker 1: as individuals to try to do the right thing when
Speaker 1: they're not at work. So, as a as a staff member,
Speaker 1: would you feel comfortable twenty three year olds you know
Speaker 1: that maybe aren't doing the right things. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the reality. I mean, when you're twenty three,
Speaker 1: I mean your bullet proof. You're not worrying about some
Speaker 1: kind of virus. I mean, you're like a man, let's
Speaker 1: just go. You know. So as a staff member, are
Speaker 1: you are you fully comfortable around you know, sixty five
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more players that maybe some of
Speaker 1: them aren't gonna be doing the right thing. It's it's
Speaker 1: a fascinating question of how much that interaction would happen
Speaker 1: to write, how much virtu trual meeting time is there?
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta be on the practice field at
Speaker 1: some point, but how close do you really interact? I
Speaker 1: think that's all I don't know. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: uh and and here's the other thing with the Jaguars
Speaker 1: that uh, that also kind of puts a little bit
Speaker 1: of a I don't want to say, a pretty uh
Speaker 1: serious curve into the plans of having a training camp
Speaker 1: and everything else. Oh by the way, you have the
Speaker 1: Republican National Convention coming to Jacksonville. So if you have that,
Speaker 1: what do you do as an organization? Right? I mean
Speaker 1: you're you're trying to create your own bubble. But then
Speaker 1: you have this massive number of people that are gonna
Speaker 1: be coming. I mean right there on your doorstep. Are
Speaker 1: you gonna have to pack up and roll out? And
Speaker 1: and if so, well you're trying to create another bubble, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't that, I mean another challenge of
Speaker 1: all things, right, just throw that on the top of
Speaker 1: everything that's happened already. Yeah. I mean, look, it's hard
Speaker 1: enough to do it when you're comfortable in your own environment,
Speaker 1: but then you know, maybe you have to pack up
Speaker 1: and leave and go somewhere. I mean, wow, wow wow.
Speaker 1: Jeff Logan with US Jaguars analysts another report today. The
Speaker 1: expectation now is that face shields will be recommended, not
Speaker 1: required by players. Would you wear a full mask shield
Speaker 1: if you played and had to play this year? Well,
Speaker 1: the face shields, and I'm talking about the the eye
Speaker 1: shields came out in in the nineties and Chris Doleman
Speaker 1: was a guy who wore it. Man, and then you know,
Speaker 1: you look cool because you kind of looked like Terminator.
Speaker 1: You know. I had the dark the dark lens, the
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and I actually tried it, and I'm
Speaker 1: right there, kind of same deal as J. G. Watt
Speaker 1: because I remember reading how his experience was when he
Speaker 1: tried to pickular I shield and this is where this
Speaker 1: is we're talking about. Now, it's just the ive eiser,
Speaker 1: that's just the eye when you're talking about the league's
Speaker 1: talking about so so so I'm I'm gonna relate it
Speaker 1: to my experience with the I part because when I
Speaker 1: had that on JP, I swear to you I had
Speaker 1: it on for one day and I felt I got claustrophobic.
Speaker 1: It was like, um, the difference between being in a
Speaker 1: closed hot building with no airflow whatsoever versus being in
Speaker 1: a pull barn and there's no walls, there's no doors.
Speaker 1: It's just a breeze blowing freely with a face mask only.
Speaker 1: So now I mean talking about a face shield that
Speaker 1: covers the whole frontal area of your face mask. I
Speaker 1: mean you want to talk about the the heat build up,
Speaker 1: the claustrophobic claustrophobia. I don't even know if that's a word.
Speaker 1: But I mean I would hate it. I would hate it.
Speaker 1: It would be not I want to say impossible, but
Speaker 1: I mean for some guys it might be I mean
Speaker 1: from from a from a mental claustrophobic standpoint, they'd be like,
Speaker 1: I can't do this. So uh yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: how that would work, you know. And do you say, okay,
Speaker 1: well guys, let's put on face mask under the helmet,
Speaker 1: well JP, I mean we're we're all wearing we're all
Speaker 1: masking up these days, right. We got a grocery store,
Speaker 1: we mask up, We go to the hardware store, we
Speaker 1: mask up. We go to grab a beer, you know,
Speaker 1: at a brewery, you know, to walk out and carry
Speaker 1: home or whatever. You put on mask on. And I
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but for me, man, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to get out of that store after five to
Speaker 1: ten minutes because that mask is driving me. Imagine running
Speaker 1: and pushing uh around you. No, I can't, I mean
Speaker 1: I just can't. That's yeah, Wow, that's that's hard. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't understand how you would do that?
Speaker 1: What final thought? Whither here logs. There was a written
Speaker 1: story today on Jaguars dot com. UH media members around
Speaker 1: the team. Here weighing in on who will be the
Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive m v P this year, You and I
Speaker 1: both went with Josh Alan. What can we expect from
Speaker 1: him in year two overall? Now, and how different for you,
Speaker 1: logs was year two for you coming off your rookie season.
Speaker 1: That's probably a good way to think about. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: it wasn't tremendously different from me because I was making
Speaker 1: a position switch and Josh won't be doing that. I mean,
Speaker 1: so that's good for him. Um So I'd be kind
Speaker 1: of comparing apples to oranges, me and him on our experiences.
Speaker 1: But he's a mature, hard working, dedicated, He's got he's
Speaker 1: got everything you want and and that's just fun. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about just from the mental makeup standpoint. So you
Speaker 1: combine that with superior physical skills and a year under
Speaker 1: his belt. I mean, I just I expect him to
Speaker 1: get immensely better and it's going to be exciting to
Speaker 1: watch him grow. You know. I think he's pretty unique too,
Speaker 1: because you know, by comparing to him to not Gockway,
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to make the comparison here to
Speaker 1: knocking Gockway, but Josh is bigger, and I think when
Speaker 1: you have a bigger body, it gives you the ability
Speaker 1: to do some more things than if you're a little
Speaker 1: bit smaller. And I think that's the exciting part about
Speaker 1: Josh is that he's got the size, and he's got
Speaker 1: the quickness, and he's got the speed. And when you
Speaker 1: have all of that put together in one package, first
Speaker 1: of all, it's very rare, but then it's also very
Speaker 1: exciting because I think that the ceiling is higher when
Speaker 1: you have all of the above over or under fourteen
Speaker 1: point seven five sacks. I mean I would always go
Speaker 1: under on that number, because I mean, fourteen is a
Speaker 1: phenomenal number. I mean, look, if you get double digit
Speaker 1: sacks in the National Football League, I don't care who
Speaker 1: you are, that's a phenomenal accomplishment. Double digit sacts is
Speaker 1: the bar for me. I mean ten, you get over ten,
Speaker 1: you're an elite pass rusher and one of the best
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And if you if you
Speaker 1: can stay there consistently, lot of good stuff. Tell Mr
Speaker 1: Loghoman happy birthday. I will do that, JP, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you again next week, all right, JP, Joe,
Speaker 1: I know you're listening there. Buddy, missen you guys. One
Speaker 1: of these days we're gonna get back together and have
Speaker 1: a radio show in person. Don't threaten us logs. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to you guys. Jeff Lockman, Jaguars Analysts joining us

Speaker 1: afternoon here in Jacksonville in this July J. P. Shatterrick
Speaker 1: from the home studio. We've been here since March nineteen.
Speaker 1: We will be here for the at least foreseeable future.
Speaker 1: Rookies and quarterbacks are reporting around the league. There's still
Speaker 1: conversations between the players Association in the NFL about money.
Speaker 1: Now it's kind down to that, and we'll see next week.
Speaker 1: Veterans are scheduled to report and start testing early next week.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone line and welcome in Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot Com reporter Ashlyn Sullivan, who joins us down Ashland.
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Hello, how are you. I'm good here at
Speaker 1: home once again, nothing's changed. Getting used to it, I
Speaker 1: guess you could say, because we're here, might might as
Speaker 1: well get used to it. Right. If you're not used
Speaker 1: to it by now, you're never going to be used
Speaker 1: to it. Unfortunately, used to it by now, that's right. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we're all ready for a little football though.
Speaker 1: I think you know obviously we've sat here this whole
Speaker 1: offseason in the summer and went through the draft here
Speaker 1: at home, and I got to meet some of the players,
Speaker 1: the new guys virtually, and you know, just a lot
Speaker 1: of that stuff. Um. There was the one instance of
Speaker 1: the march from the stadium to j s O where
Speaker 1: there was a little bit, very little bit of interaction
Speaker 1: with some people. That was that was really the only
Speaker 1: time but I think Ashley and we're all ready for
Speaker 1: this is the time where people get ramped up for
Speaker 1: training camp and football things happen, and um, if you're
Speaker 1: in this business or around the game or a fan,
Speaker 1: July late July is what you gear up for. But
Speaker 1: now we have to sit here and wait and see
Speaker 1: if it really gets off the ground. Yeah, right now
Speaker 1: normally would definitely be go time. I think the hardest
Speaker 1: thing has been Normally, by now you at least have
Speaker 1: some understanding of what the draft picks are like and
Speaker 1: what the new PHRAE agents are like, obviously with rookie
Speaker 1: Mini Camp and ot and I think that's been at least.
Speaker 1: The weirdest part for me is not really knowing these
Speaker 1: guys personalities. I mean, we know what the veterans are
Speaker 1: like and we still have a good relationship with them,
Speaker 1: but these new guys He's talked to maybe once or
Speaker 1: twice through a zoom call, but it just isn't the same.
Speaker 1: And sadly, I don't think we'll get to know these
Speaker 1: guys near as well as we've got to know you
Speaker 1: guys past. Yeah, you have to have that daily interaction
Speaker 1: in the locker room and or on the practice field
Speaker 1: or in the hallway or the lunch room or wherever
Speaker 1: you run across these guys to really get a full
Speaker 1: scope of their personalities. And I think you're you're spot
Speaker 1: on there. You did. How you have been doing interviews
Speaker 1: different content on the Jags social channels? Um, I know
Speaker 1: you started one a few weeks back or a little
Speaker 1: while back. Now, Um, that's a throwdown, right? Is that
Speaker 1: what it's called? Yeah, dag Wars Throwdown for them and
Speaker 1: by public. It is our bi weekly segments on Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot com. And we kind of got the idea just
Speaker 1: from watching different shows, and um, we never really had
Speaker 1: a segment where we really gave guys that competitive nature.
Speaker 1: It was always kind of just a conversations. We thought,
Speaker 1: why not put two guys together and lets them If
Speaker 1: we can't play football right now, you might as well
Speaker 1: play some type of game. It's all kinds of different games.
Speaker 1: A really fun segment. Definitely get a different look at
Speaker 1: these players and their personality when you see another play
Speaker 1: player playing with them at a really brings out a
Speaker 1: different side of them. What was the last one that aired?
Speaker 1: And when's the next one? We're all clamoring for it.
Speaker 1: I hope that was a great description. Now everyone's gonna
Speaker 1: want to watch it. The last one that was actually
Speaker 1: the last week we film one that went out today
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com and that was two of our
Speaker 1: newest draft picks, Tyler Davis and Colin Johnson. That was
Speaker 1: our fourth episode, so we will have another one coming
Speaker 1: out in two weeks, but you could see the newest
Speaker 1: one out today on Jaguars dot Com. And our first
Speaker 1: one was Abrey Jones and DJ Hayden, and they definitely
Speaker 1: set a very high bar because Abrey Jones just does
Speaker 1: everything well on camera and gaming. He brings the heat
Speaker 1: he does Ash with Sullivan was Jaguars dot Com reporter
Speaker 1: and a host on Instagram Live this week. You sat
Speaker 1: down with James O'Shaughnessy Jaguars tight end, and you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the great mystery of about last year.
Speaker 1: And there's obviously issues with the tight end position. There
Speaker 1: have been issues with the tight end position around here
Speaker 1: for years, mind you, But James O. Shaughnessy had a
Speaker 1: little something going early last season, but in the fifth
Speaker 1: game tore up his knee. He was done for the year.
Speaker 1: He's been going through rehab the whole time. How has
Speaker 1: James to deal with this week? And what do we
Speaker 1: expect from him in a newly formed tight end room
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, he was definitely hopeful, and honestly I was.
Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised that I'd sure you are aware
Speaker 1: as well, uh JP do in the lack of room
Speaker 1: at times and destinely with on camera things, James is
Speaker 1: it's not his favorite thing to talk on camera, but
Speaker 1: he was talking about as he was getting older and
Speaker 1: more experienced in the NFL, like he realized that he
Speaker 1: can use on camera things to his advantage and show
Speaker 1: his personality. So it was definitely the best conversation I've
Speaker 1: ever had with James O'Shaughnessy through a camera, and he
Speaker 1: was talking about how difficult it was to know basically
Speaker 1: career was at the peak when he got hurt. He
Speaker 1: had such a good relationship going with Gardner Minshew and
Speaker 1: they had a great thing going to then get hurt,
Speaker 1: he said, definitely was difficult, and sadly it's almost the
Speaker 1: point I was this tight end group. When you see
Speaker 1: guys like Josh Oliver and James O'Shaughnessy at times you
Speaker 1: forget about their impact because they did have such long
Speaker 1: injuries that you had to stay patient with. But he
Speaker 1: said kind of COVID has been a good thing for
Speaker 1: him because it's given him extra time to rehab. Like
Speaker 1: as of right now, he said, I would have had
Speaker 1: to sit out of O T as in mini camp
Speaker 1: I would have been able to participate. That would have
Speaker 1: been like cutting open the wound all over again, not
Speaker 1: being able to be there on the field of my teammates.
Speaker 1: That now when we hit the field, I'll be ready
Speaker 1: to go. And if I'm not mistaken, He's one of
Speaker 1: the few players since he was in a rehab protocol
Speaker 1: before COVID hit that he was allowed to go the
Speaker 1: building and continue that rehab during this whole thing, he was,
Speaker 1: he said, he's been there every single day. He said,
Speaker 1: as of right now, because of all the negotiations going on,
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to be there the week or
Speaker 1: a half or so. But he was big time crediting
Speaker 1: the trainers for with all of this stuff going on,
Speaker 1: all the coronavirus things, the athletic trainers had to deal
Speaker 1: with an adapt to He said he always felt like
Speaker 1: he was priority number one in that building, and he said,
Speaker 1: I'm almost kind of glad to have a brakes and
Speaker 1: nomb because I've been with them every single day since
Speaker 1: mid October. Ashelan Sullivan, with US Jaguars dot Com reporter
Speaker 1: and host Jaguars dot Com written piece this week, I
Speaker 1: believe it, we're out today who will be the defensive
Speaker 1: m v P? And it was a host of media
Speaker 1: people around the team. You and I were included on
Speaker 1: that and we had the same answer, Josh Allen. You
Speaker 1: saw him though, you had a note in this article
Speaker 1: today that you had a close up look at him
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl and got a little more insight
Speaker 1: to the way he operates around other pros. Yes, it
Speaker 1: was very cool to see Josh Allen in a Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl atmosphere. I mean, we've only ever seen him at
Speaker 1: the stadium Rdato Leagames. I've never really seen him outside
Speaker 1: of his comfort zone. It was like a kid in
Speaker 1: the candy shop. And I feel like like a time
Speaker 1: younger players like they kind of want to act cool
Speaker 1: and act like they've been there before. Josh was the
Speaker 1: complete opposite, Like he was saying how cool it was
Speaker 1: to be there every single time minute going up to
Speaker 1: every guy you couldn't meet in introducing himself. Um, and
Speaker 1: the coolest thing, which I wrote in this article was
Speaker 1: he was walking up onto the field with von Miller
Speaker 1: and they were going through moves and you could just
Speaker 1: tell how cool it was to have a conversation with
Speaker 1: someone like that, and awesome for von Miller to take
Speaker 1: the time out and really, you know, teach him something.
Speaker 1: But it definitely seemed like it was an impactful thing
Speaker 1: for Josh to be there and meet all these people
Speaker 1: that hopefully we'll get to their level one day. There're
Speaker 1: a couple of different answers from the group. This is
Speaker 1: the group around the Jags radio team, digital media team,
Speaker 1: on air, folks television group, all that stuff. So, um,
Speaker 1: there were a couple. There was a show Bert thrown
Speaker 1: in there. I think there was a Miles Jack in
Speaker 1: there as well, But the prevailing answer was Josh Challen.
Speaker 1: I think that's after his season. Yeah, that's pretty pretty
Speaker 1: much the obvious one. Now. You know, if somebody else
Speaker 1: beats out Josh Allen and Josh still has a good year,
Speaker 1: well that's even better for this team. But going into
Speaker 1: it so far, Josh Allen kind of seems to be
Speaker 1: the guy. All right, So Ashlyn, what you got coming up?
Speaker 1: I know there's um, you know, that's the big question.
Speaker 1: What is coming up? Because the schedules have changed a
Speaker 1: little bit, we're still waiting to see what the outcome
Speaker 1: is of this negotiation and the testing and so the
Speaker 1: actual I think daily shows starting is a little bit
Speaker 1: up in the air, but at least on social channels.
Speaker 1: What do you have coming up in the next week
Speaker 1: or so, Yes, So we're exciting. Um this time of
Speaker 1: needs Instagram Live's been doing has kind of been something
Speaker 1: to build the time in the off season, and we're
Speaker 1: excited to say that we're going to continue this segment
Speaker 1: going into football season. I think it's a great platform
Speaker 1: to give these guys kind of a more casual conversation.
Speaker 1: We've seen a bunch of times where their teammates will
Speaker 1: jump in and common or they have their wives their
Speaker 1: family members comedy. So it's a great way to kind
Speaker 1: of get them in a more relaxed atmosphere. So Instagram
Speaker 1: Live every Wednesday at five o'clock. Every week a different player.
Speaker 1: We have jag Wars Throwdown on all social outlets every
Speaker 1: two weeks, and some new things in the Hawker that
Speaker 1: we're working through, but very excited, definitely trying to get
Speaker 1: creative here with working from home and bringing some new things.
Speaker 1: It is um we've only just begun, so yes we are.

Speaker 1: the training camps are scheduled to begin very soon, rookies
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks around the league of reporting for testing. Veterans
Speaker 1: are scheduled to report for testing early next week. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the phone line and welcome in Jaguars analysts
Speaker 1: and our good friend Tony Vaselly. Tony, good afternoon. What's
Speaker 1: j d oh? Just another week here at home, you know, um,
Speaker 1: and but we're another week closer we think to football season.
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's the goal, isn't it. I mean
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's interesting, you know, you know, ever since
Speaker 1: this COVID night team pandemic to start that, we've seen
Speaker 1: you know, sports league kind of you know, be canceled
Speaker 1: and going or be delayed and then as they all
Speaker 1: work to come back, and all of us are part
Speaker 1: of the kind of statback and watched is the conversations
Speaker 1: of the commissioners and then the unions versus the league
Speaker 1: and you know, whether it's been baseball was didn't go
Speaker 1: very well at all. But now they're figuring out, you know,
Speaker 1: a shortened season, and we've seen what basketball has done
Speaker 1: with the bubble and the back and forth there, and
Speaker 1: golf is probably the easiest one to come back, UM
Speaker 1: in this process based on the environment that we're we
Speaker 1: all live in. And now, you know, in my thought,
Speaker 1: at least jap there and the whole time is like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know this is you know, the NFL figured out.
Speaker 1: You know, you know by the by the time we
Speaker 1: get to football, you know, all this will be sorted out.
Speaker 1: And you fast forward and we sit here today, UM,
Speaker 1: and it feels like we're just still trying to figure
Speaker 1: it out. And now we're kind of in this similar
Speaker 1: situation we've seen the other leagues and where you know,
Speaker 1: you're hoping that you're gonna get started, but we don't
Speaker 1: know when, UM, and we really don't know what it's
Speaker 1: gonna look like. As the league and the union kind
Speaker 1: of UM work through the the big issues that have
Speaker 1: to be solved, everything from the testing and protocols there,
Speaker 1: it looks like they've got that settled, but then you
Speaker 1: know all the things around the economics and what happens
Speaker 1: when someone test positive. UM, you know how that's gonna
Speaker 1: be sorted out during the year. Um, and then all
Speaker 1: the antler things that kind of surround the game of football,
Speaker 1: like yours nice job, um calling the games on Sundays,
Speaker 1: and you know, shows and coverage and uh so it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's sure. Sure, it's an interesting time that we find
Speaker 1: ourselves in Tony Boselly with US Jaguars analysts on Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour, and I think I touched on this last week.
Speaker 1: You know, we there's twenty five active players in baseball
Speaker 1: a little more at the start of this season because
Speaker 1: of the circumstances eleven players on the field for each team.
Speaker 1: In soccer, um, NBA has what twelve guys on the
Speaker 1: active roster. There's fifty three active players in the NFL
Speaker 1: and probably six team practice squad guys this year and
Speaker 1: twenty coaches. I mean, it is by far the most
Speaker 1: challenging in terms of numbers of any sport I can
Speaker 1: think of, in terms of testing, well, the numbers, the
Speaker 1: way the game is played, with the you know, the
Speaker 1: contact and not you know, not just on game day,
Speaker 1: but also what it takes to be prepared for a game,
Speaker 1: so to camp and practice and uh and everything else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it is the most complex, just because of
Speaker 1: the nature of the game and the number of players.
Speaker 1: Uh tony part of that negotiation, it sounds like there
Speaker 1: are no preseason games. I haven't officially said that, but
Speaker 1: all the conversations kind of were coming out over the
Speaker 1: last few days. So how difficult is it to figure
Speaker 1: out your fifty three without preseason games? And how difficult
Speaker 1: is it for a late round pick or an undrafted
Speaker 1: player without those games to make a roster now? Um,
Speaker 1: I think it's difficult. I think it's tough because you know,
Speaker 1: if you're a head coach and GM like Dave Calon
Speaker 1: and Doug Brone, you use camp in preseason games. You
Speaker 1: get a real sense of how um your draft picks,
Speaker 1: especially your late round draft picks, and the free agents
Speaker 1: that are going to kind of fill out the last
Speaker 1: you know, five ten spots off your roster, of how
Speaker 1: they can contribute on special teams as role players and
Speaker 1: as such. Um. And it takes time because you don't
Speaker 1: know these guys at all, um. And so now without
Speaker 1: those reps and without those opportunities, I think human nature
Speaker 1: goes to, hey, let's go with what we know. The
Speaker 1: known quality of players that we have worked with, UM,
Speaker 1: that have been a part of our system, and by
Speaker 1: the way, if they haven't, we're gonna go with the
Speaker 1: ones that we've invested a lot of money in, you know,
Speaker 1: high price, high price free agents that you've seen playing
Speaker 1: other teams. You have a good sense to what they
Speaker 1: can do. And then obviously you're you know, top three
Speaker 1: or four rounds of your draft because you've invested draft
Speaker 1: capital and in dollars around guaranteed money and those individuals.
Speaker 1: So UM, just by the very nature of what we're
Speaker 1: facing in the time crunch, in the lack of reps UM,
Speaker 1: I think you find yourselves. You know, it's always an
Speaker 1: until battle when you're undrafted, free agent or a late
Speaker 1: round pick. Excuse me, but I think it's even more
Speaker 1: difficult now because you're just knock having the opportunity to
Speaker 1: show what you can do. Tony was Selly with US
Speaker 1: Jaguars analysts. I'm asked logs this earlier and I'm curious
Speaker 1: if you're thoughts on this as well. The face shield
Speaker 1: idea on helmets, we always not always sometimes some players
Speaker 1: where the visors, but now the expectations that face shields
Speaker 1: that cover the the nose and the mouth on the
Speaker 1: lower part of the face mask will be recommended but
Speaker 1: not required. Oakley is developing these things right to limit
Speaker 1: the spread of droplets. But if you were playing Tony,
Speaker 1: would you or would you not wear one and one?
Speaker 1: I would not want to. I know that, um, because
Speaker 1: I like wearing as little as possible, and especially think
Speaker 1: in the heat. You know, I would want to test
Speaker 1: it at the very least understand you know, how much
Speaker 1: het will kind of hold within the face mask and
Speaker 1: is breathing different or anything like that. So I know
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to, Um what I you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Probably if I felt like it was going
Speaker 1: to keep the safer and people around the game safer
Speaker 1: so that we could play the game. So if there
Speaker 1: was some data point that the league had, or Oakley had,
Speaker 1: or some scientists had or medical doctor had that said,
Speaker 1: if you do this, it's gonna help um stop you know,
Speaker 1: limit the spread, and was going to give you a
Speaker 1: better chance of playing all sixteen games, then I probably would. Now,
Speaker 1: if I'm stilling at my seat where I've already had it,
Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, and I got the
Speaker 1: antibodies and that would my page kind of my stop
Speaker 1: process as well. But I would hope that my mind
Speaker 1: would be, what is this best way to ensure that
Speaker 1: we get to play a full season? If that meat
Speaker 1: means for this year, I need to wear this kind
Speaker 1: of plexi glass or some clear plastic h yes, you know,
Speaker 1: mouth shield or no shield or whatever it is. Um
Speaker 1: that I probably would. Tony was SELLI with us the
Speaker 1: last couple of minutes with the pride of the Jaguars
Speaker 1: left tackle and Jaguars analysts, you know, all to go back,
Speaker 1: Tony to the conversation between the p A and the NFL.
Speaker 1: Here it's come down to a few different things, but
Speaker 1: that the money and and really how any shortfalls and
Speaker 1: revenue artistpersed. One side would like it over an eleven
Speaker 1: years cb A, it would be the players, whereas we
Speaker 1: have reports that the league wants it over this year
Speaker 1: and next year. Where do you think that falls in
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Oh gosh, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think in all these things that you know, we go
Speaker 1: back to when the c b A is negotiated, and
Speaker 1: we go back to two thousand and eleven, where you know,
Speaker 1: it goes to eleventh hour. Um. Ultimately, I think it's
Speaker 1: going to get figured out, and I think, you know,
Speaker 1: let me say what I hope. I hope what happens
Speaker 1: is that both sides understand and that there's gonna have
Speaker 1: to be sacrificed by each side because of what we're
Speaker 1: facing in these unprecedented times. And the hard part of
Speaker 1: the the players is um having a longer term view,
Speaker 1: because if you're a player that maybe that's on their
Speaker 1: last year or two, your mindset is like, hey, I
Speaker 1: need to get as much as I can right now. UM.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, this is why
Speaker 1: we have a union here. I'm hoping the union leadership
Speaker 1: is looking at the longer term view, working with the
Speaker 1: owners and understanding that because of this that if we
Speaker 1: don't get this right and if we don't work together,
Speaker 1: then there's gonna could be some really really uh tough
Speaker 1: decisions next year. With the cat fluctuating downward a downward
Speaker 1: manner in a huge way that would you know, have
Speaker 1: a material effect on what teams would be able to
Speaker 1: spend on players, and you then would see I think
Speaker 1: a number of good players paid a lot of money
Speaker 1: UM probably let go, and a lot of movement that
Speaker 1: I don't think any that's good for the game, well,
Speaker 1: good for anyone, Tony good stuff. So you gotta run,
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Always gonna catch up with you, you know,
Speaker 1: j P anytime. How are you doing? I mean, I
Speaker 1: mean we you, you ask me, everyone else, and you're
Speaker 1: always so concerned about all of our health and safety
Speaker 1: and the league and everything else. How's JP shattered? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm good. Um, you know, I'm not hiding
Speaker 1: at home though. I mean, I get out, I go eat,
Speaker 1: I come back, I wash my hands, I use the
Speaker 1: sanitizer and the mask, and you know, I go out
Speaker 1: and do my thing and come back. That's that's really, Uh,
Speaker 1: that's really my day these days. I have I smoked
Speaker 1: a lot more cigars than I probably should, but that's
Speaker 1: you know, comes with a territory. That's okay. Though it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough time right now, and you know,
Speaker 1: and everyone listened to us, I mean, everyone's trying to
Speaker 1: figure this out. And uh, and I think, you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully we're all thinking of not just ourselves but other
Speaker 1: people as we make decisions and what's the best way
Speaker 1: for us to hopefully get this COVID nine team behind
Speaker 1: us hopefully get to the vaccine or get to a
Speaker 1: point where we can get back to some normal normality.
Speaker 1: And I know, like you boy, I'm sure hoping we
Speaker 1: play football this year. I think that'd be a selfishly
Speaker 1: be great for me because I enjoyed so much and
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the fall without football. But I think
Speaker 1: it'd be good for everybody to just to all the
Speaker 1: people who love this game and hopefully UH for a
Speaker 1: few hours on Sundays, Monday nights and Thursday nights that
Speaker 1: we can kind of take our mind off what's going
Speaker 1: on and UH loot for our favorite team. We're so
Speaker 1: close to getting off the runway for this preseason or
Speaker 1: at least thing, but I got we're not there yet.
Speaker 1: One more. Let's go one more a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: We've got a question for you. What do you what
Speaker 1: was your what was your reaction to the football Washington
Speaker 1: football team the changing of the name UH of the
Speaker 1: UH of the football team up in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: I think it's a good move because it gives the
Speaker 1: organization a little more time to figure out the real
Speaker 1: right way to go with a nickname UM. They can
Speaker 1: do a little more research into it, get some more
Speaker 1: input from a bunch of different parties if they'd like,
Speaker 1: And why not. You have soccer teams that are called
Speaker 1: you know, uh SO and so FC, so they don't
Speaker 1: have nicknames either, So why not try it for a year. Um,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm we're gonna have to put a
Speaker 1: fine system in place. So for every time I say Redskins,
Speaker 1: I'll say that because it's not gonna go away easy.
Speaker 1: But um, but I think it's I think it's a good,
Speaker 1: good move for this year. Gives them a little more flexibility. Well,
Speaker 1: we're always so you know, we're so trained to talk
Speaker 1: about teams like we have, I mean, calling them since
Speaker 1: we're kids and now covering them. I mean, how how
Speaker 1: often have we all slipped and said the San Diego
Speaker 1: Chargers and said Los Angeles start? It probably took, you know,
Speaker 1: a good year. We're seeing it in a half to
Speaker 1: kind of get over call. You know, call that that
Speaker 1: team the wrong name, no doubt. So we'll have that
Speaker 1: same situation here, I think. But hey, good move. And
Speaker 1: they're keeping the colors. They're they're putting the numbers on
Speaker 1: the helmets like Alabama Tony So you can't you can't
Speaker 1: lose that way. Yeah, yeah, I really. You know, it's
Speaker 1: funny when you say that, because when I saw when
Speaker 1: I saw that today, I immediately thought, my goodness, here
Speaker 1: we go. I have to listen to to JP tell
Speaker 1: me about Alabama and the influence that it has across
Speaker 1: the world of football. Well, I mean, half their rosters
Speaker 1: from Alabama anyway, so they might as well point they're
Speaker 1: all comfortable with it. They might as well put the
Speaker 1: numbers on there. Good stuff, Tony, Good to talk to you,
Speaker 1: all right, man talk Tony was Selly proud of the
Speaker 1: Jaguars left tackle joining us here on Jaguars Happy Area.
Speaker 1: Had a lot of news around the National Football League.
Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment and touch on some
Speaker 1: of the other high points from around the league this week.

Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Our rolls along JP Shadrick Again, if you're
Speaker 1: watching on Jaguars dot com, you just had a nice
Speaker 1: view of the heart Bridge and uh, you know it's
Speaker 1: funny today, I was. I drove around little Side Story
Speaker 1: here before we go around the National Football thing um,
Speaker 1: and I drove downtown. I haven't been down that way
Speaker 1: by the stadium in a while. Uh. And the testing
Speaker 1: site has now gone out of lot J that has
Speaker 1: moved to a few different new testing sites around town,
Speaker 1: so the parking lot was empty. Didn't go anywhere near
Speaker 1: the building or anything like that. Once drove around Gator
Speaker 1: Bowl Drive and just to see and guess what, the
Speaker 1: the viaduct off of the heart Bridge to downtown has
Speaker 1: gone totally gone and totally cleared out. And turning the
Speaker 1: corner in front of w j c T, the public
Speaker 1: radio station, they're heading towards downtown, all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you have the big view of the main Street bridge
Speaker 1: from there. It's wide open out of the river. Um
Speaker 1: and if you get a chance check it out down there.
Speaker 1: It's a stark difference, I think in a very good way.
Speaker 1: Hopefully for the months ahead to start some development in
Speaker 1: that area downtown. But pretty cool to see and that
Speaker 1: that's happened. Well, they just started it at the start
Speaker 1: of the pandemic and now it's pretty much all then
Speaker 1: that the demolition work it seems to be done, so um.
Speaker 1: Now the next step is digging some holes in the
Speaker 1: ground across the street over there in a lot j
Speaker 1: Hopefully that will happen at some point soon. Also today
Speaker 1: we we mentioned all these other sports you know, starting
Speaker 1: back up soccer. Liverpool won the Premier League the Championship.
Speaker 1: The Fulham yesterday full Football Club owned by shot Con
Speaker 1: had a chance to make it to the second spot
Speaker 1: in the in the standings, but they they had to
Speaker 1: have some things go their way. They didn't. They finished fourth,
Speaker 1: so they're in the playoff to get the third automatic
Speaker 1: promotion spot, which they a few years ago ended up
Speaker 1: winning that that big game at Wembley to get up.
Speaker 1: So good luck to full him over the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. And yes, other sports getting started tonight. Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball is back. The Yankees and the Nationals in
Speaker 1: Washington at seven o eight. Dr Fauci will throw out
Speaker 1: the first pitch. Garrett Cole and Max Scherzer on the mound.
Speaker 1: I think the last time they met was in the
Speaker 1: World Series. And then tonight ten o'clock ten oh eight
Speaker 1: Eastern time, the Giants and the Dodgers. Johnny Quato for
Speaker 1: San Francisco and former Jacksonville's son Clayton Kershaw. It's the
Speaker 1: opening day start and he's been fantastic on opening day
Speaker 1: with the Los Angeles Dodgers over the years. We'll see
Speaker 1: if you can do it again. But baseball is back
Speaker 1: for real tonight. Well, so let's hope football can get
Speaker 1: back at some point soon. Let's go around the National
Speaker 1: Football League and and Tony touched on this just a
Speaker 1: moment ago. The Washington football team. That's the new name,
Speaker 1: at least in the interim in d C. According to
Speaker 1: an announcement by Washington Today, the color scheme stays the same.
Speaker 1: They'll take the logo off the helmet and they'll add
Speaker 1: numbers jersey numbers to the helmet in place of that
Speaker 1: old logo. The process of a permanent name and finding
Speaker 1: that name continues with the team said today they'll take
Speaker 1: input from players, alumni, fans, sponsors, and the community for
Speaker 1: the new team name, whatever it will be. But at
Speaker 1: see that this year they will be called the Washington
Speaker 1: Football Team, and merchandise with Washington Football Team will go online.
Speaker 1: You're already seeing some of it pop up on social
Speaker 1: media in the last the few hours or so that
Speaker 1: since the announcement this morning, but it will go online
Speaker 1: and start selling in the coming days. Jets are in
Speaker 1: the news. Jets owner and US Ambassador to the United Kingdom,
Speaker 1: Woody Johnson is under fire this week after a report
Speaker 1: of him making sexists and racist comments the government staffers
Speaker 1: while serving as ambassador. Now Johnson denied that rapport on
Speaker 1: Twitter this week, and he also insisted that he didn't
Speaker 1: violate any government ethics rules. That was. A separate report
Speaker 1: suggested that he did by attempting to get the Open
Speaker 1: Championship commonly knows known as the British Open, played at
Speaker 1: a course owned by President Trump. Quote from Woody Johnson said,
Speaker 1: quote I followed the ethical rules and requirements of my
Speaker 1: office at all times. End quote. We'll see where that
Speaker 1: story takes us moving ahead as well, um, and that
Speaker 1: is our quick look around the National Football League. One
Speaker 1: final note today late breaking green Bay apparently bidding to
Speaker 1: host the NFL Draft. Packers president Mark Murphy told shareholders
Speaker 1: in a virtual meeting that Green Bay as a finalist
Speaker 1: to host the draft that year. Of course, the Las
Speaker 1: Vegas lost the draft this year due to the pandemic,
Speaker 1: so the league awarded the draft to Las Vegas. Is
Speaker 1: already slated for Cleveland, and then is scheduled in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: So green Bay is a knocking on the door as
Speaker 1: a finalist, they say in and I think the hopes here,
Speaker 1: of course, we're when Daily's place was open that at
Speaker 1: some point Jacksonville could be a candidate to host the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. But it takes, in my opinion, it takes
Speaker 1: the development around all that to happen to attract events
Speaker 1: like that as well. Because the infrastructure and the way
Speaker 1: things are set up as it sits today, it would
Speaker 1: be very difficult to bring in that type of crowd,
Speaker 1: that type of environment for three days straight, uh and
Speaker 1: really make it sing downtown. So I think lot J
Speaker 1: is is vital for any bid like that, not that
Speaker 1: they couldn't bid already. And you know, probably executed, but
Speaker 1: to make it it's full extent that it could be
Speaker 1: and do the city in the NFL proud, I think
Speaker 1: it's gotta have that full development behind it as well.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens on the NFL Draft in
Speaker 1: a few years away. I mean, let's just get to
Speaker 1: the season before we we go too far down the
Speaker 1: line here. That we already saw that can executed draft virtually,
Speaker 1: and it actually, in some ways it was a little
Speaker 1: better for television, I think than some of the things
Speaker 1: you saw in the years passed in the NFL Draft.
Speaker 1: This was a undraft to be a part of, to
Speaker 1: see in people's homes and and gm s and head
Speaker 1: coaches houses and the setups, and it was a it
Speaker 1: was a pretty cool scene. Um. But obviously we'd love
Speaker 1: to have the draft back in person. That means things
Speaker 1: are back and open again. But I think you could
Speaker 1: take some pieces of what happened the draft this past
Speaker 1: year and the league will likely use some of those
Speaker 1: lessons they learned in covering the draft like that and
Speaker 1: move it to years ahead the occults today. A postpone
Speaker 1: Robert Mathis is induction of the Ring of Honor until
Speaker 1: of course Jaguars fans, no mathis very well. They wanted
Speaker 1: to have fans involved in that. So the only way
Speaker 1: really to do that to a full effect, to a
Speaker 1: full stadium is to wait a year or so, so
Speaker 1: then you have it. Look around. The National Football League
Speaker 1: are show next week four o'clock Thursdays as always for
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour. There will be a Jaguars Drive time
Speaker 1: next Thursday morning as well, so check out the schedule
Speaker 1: coming up, check it on Jacks social media and uh
