Speaker 1: and now a guy who's hoping. Our road games include Hawaii,
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, Tahiti and Trusted the Alabama j Peace Welcome in.
Speaker 1: It is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Thursday afternoon. My
Speaker 1: name is J. P. Shadrick. We have a busy show
Speaker 1: ahead of us tonight. Jeff Flagman Jaguars analysts with us
Speaker 1: a rookie mini camp preview. The rookies are arriving today.
Speaker 1: They'll be on the field tomorrow and Saturday inside the bank.
Speaker 1: What to expect for the rookies and their first time
Speaker 1: around here. The schedule release tonight. You might have heard
Speaker 1: eight o'clock tonight NFL Network and Jaguars dot Com for
Speaker 1: that matter. Schedule release will have instant reaction. Coming up tonight,
Speaker 1: we'll go around the NFL as well as I breaking
Speaker 1: news out of Denver today with a wider Seever, Jeff
Speaker 1: not not good news for Jerry. Judy will get to
Speaker 1: that coming up, but don't really know why it's not
Speaker 1: good news yet. It's that early in the process. Jeff
Speaker 1: Lockman is never in trouble. How are you? I'm doing
Speaker 1: good how's your vacation. It's good. It was nice. We'll
Speaker 1: get away in Alabama back. Yeah, that's right, Alabama. But
Speaker 1: by the way, Joe's list of home games, it wouldn't
Speaker 1: be a bad schedule. I was thinking Costa Rica would
Speaker 1: be nice too. In the football games will get in
Speaker 1: the way. Maybe Illinois, you know, let's have a game
Speaker 1: in Illinois about you know, first or second week of November,
Speaker 1: you know, sometime or there, you know, and it just
Speaker 1: has to be a lot of big deer. Why I
Speaker 1: was okay, Yeah, I figured there was a catch somebody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: or Iowa. You know, is there a ProTeam in Iowa?
Speaker 1: Let's make one. You and Brandon Sheriff would love that
Speaker 1: trip for sure. Hey, Sheriff would have has lined up,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't He would have has lined up pretty good,
Speaker 1: I bet I think so. So we'll find out tonight,
Speaker 1: you know, eight o'clock. Oh you know, the teams are playing.
Speaker 1: It's no matter when the games are. And there was
Speaker 1: only one that's been announced. That's the London game obviously,
Speaker 1: the Broncos and the Jaguars October. Right then. There's been
Speaker 1: a few a few leaks here and there about some
Speaker 1: games not not the Jaguars, but just games around the
Speaker 1: league and uh, and some of the expectations there. And
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting and that there was an
Speaker 1: article that was written recently that talked about how the
Speaker 1: schedule kind of got put in a little bit of
Speaker 1: a cluster fudge because of the unretirement of Tom Brady. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's pretty wild, right, how they
Speaker 1: had right, I think they had it almost ready and
Speaker 1: then Tom, just Tom, like I know him, Brady decided
Speaker 1: it's tight. Uh, he decides to retire, like, oh, we
Speaker 1: got to redo the whole league schedule now. But I mean,
Speaker 1: here's the reality. He's worth. He's worth the time and
Speaker 1: the effort of making the schedule read on or or
Speaker 1: to get it right. If I'm an executive at CBS
Speaker 1: or Fox and I realized they didn't redo the schedule
Speaker 1: at three, I would have been well, Fox mainly would
Speaker 1: be very upset. A Fox because Sunday Night game correct, correct,
Speaker 1: But Fox because they want to make sure that they
Speaker 1: can highlight their up and coming broadcaster. Who's gonna have
Speaker 1: a ten year, three dollar contract. That's awesome, That's why.
Speaker 1: How about that guy? The guys lined up for a
Speaker 1: broadcasting contract before his playing career is even over. That's that. No,
Speaker 1: no quarterback I don't think has ever had, or any
Speaker 1: player has ever had an opportunity like what's being presented
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady to be able to leave the game
Speaker 1: and to make way way more money than he's ever
Speaker 1: made as an NFL player, averaging thirty seven and a
Speaker 1: half million dollars a year. I mean, it's awesome, it's good.
Speaker 1: I mean it's awesome, but it's it just goes to
Speaker 1: show you the power of Tom Brady. Joe Fortunato, Hello,
Speaker 1: I just wonder if that thirty seven million dollars a
Speaker 1: year will put him ahead of his wife. No, I
Speaker 1: think he's got a long way ago. Absolutely not. No,
Speaker 1: it's not even close. It's all the same family though now. No. No,
Speaker 1: But it's cool. I mean, I'm happy for him, and
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do great out just because it's
Speaker 1: it's Tom Brady, and he works incredibly hard at everything
Speaker 1: that he does. A little more on the schedule, least
Speaker 1: tonight again eight o'clock NFL Network, Our special here at
Speaker 1: eight o'clock on Jaguars dot Com, the Jacks social channels
Speaker 1: as well Jaguars, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. What do you
Speaker 1: look for first when the schedule? Can really want to know?
Speaker 1: I really want to know. That's why I asked the question,
Speaker 1: what do you first look for? Uh? Well, A couple
Speaker 1: of things, umum. First of all, I look at it
Speaker 1: from a competitive standpoint. Okay, how how good of a
Speaker 1: start can the Jaguars get out to early first month?
Speaker 1: Because you want to be able to build momentum. So
Speaker 1: I look at for in the first month in September,
Speaker 1: you find out, Okay, what's going on? I look at
Speaker 1: the key holidays, just from a family standpoint. Okay, what's
Speaker 1: happening for Christmas? What's happening for Thanksgiving? Where are we
Speaker 1: that week? Um? New Year's Okay, what's happening there? What's
Speaker 1: happening around my son's birthday? What's happening around uh dear season? Okay?
Speaker 1: So when you know, we know when the when the
Speaker 1: trip to London is, which is I believe the game
Speaker 1: is gonna be played on the So is the bye
Speaker 1: week gonna happen the week after? Like what has happened
Speaker 1: in the past, Will it happen sooner? Will it happen later?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all kind of from a timing standpoint,
Speaker 1: because I mean, for you know, for our bye week,
Speaker 1: we get some time off and that's you know, an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get away a little bit. So I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of things that you look at.
Speaker 1: I also look at it from the standpoint of JP.
Speaker 1: Are we going to Nashville in November when we get
Speaker 1: to see the leave color change? Are we going to
Speaker 1: Boston or a cold weather place in December? Seriously, I mean,
Speaker 1: those are all the things that you look at when
Speaker 1: you when you look at the schedule, and then what
Speaker 1: what kind of restaurants are in the city that we're
Speaker 1: gonna be Let's get serious. I hate to say that,
Speaker 1: but we're foodies. That's what it's about. From a player's perspective,
Speaker 1: you're obviously kind of looking early to get that momentum,
Speaker 1: and then that bye week is key so you can
Speaker 1: kind of get your body going and run. I say,
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think that. The only
Speaker 1: thing that the players care about when it comes to
Speaker 1: the bye week, I think is the proximity of when
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I don't think they care whether it's
Speaker 1: week eight, nine, ten, eleven, as long as it's somewhere
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season of the season. If
Speaker 1: it happens incredibly early, the players will be highly disappointed.
Speaker 1: And so that's the only thing that I think players
Speaker 1: look at from that standpoint from the bye week, But
Speaker 1: the players definitely look at the teams that they're gonna
Speaker 1: play early in the schedule. As far as the momentum
Speaker 1: building games that I talked about, they also look at
Speaker 1: the cold weather games. Okay, late in the season. Are
Speaker 1: you going to Green Bay in December? Are you going
Speaker 1: to Buffalo in December. I'm just throwing out places that
Speaker 1: typically can be very cold. Um, when you are a
Speaker 1: northern climate team, you looked and saw like, for example,
Speaker 1: if you're playing the same division as the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: if you're the New York Jets, are you going to
Speaker 1: see them at their place in December? Because Okay, you're
Speaker 1: acclimated to the cold in December. You don't want to
Speaker 1: go down and play in Miami in December. You'd rather
Speaker 1: go to Miami in September because you're used to the
Speaker 1: to the heat exactly. So I mean, from a from
Speaker 1: a player standpoint, I think those are the things that
Speaker 1: are in point also the division games where they fall
Speaker 1: and we've seen now that the league has gone towards
Speaker 1: having a lot of division games built up at the
Speaker 1: back end of the schedule to make things obviously very
Speaker 1: important when it comes to playoff implications. Now over the
Speaker 1: at least the recent history last decade or so that
Speaker 1: jack is really haven't had to worry about this, but
Speaker 1: the prime time games. How many prime time games that
Speaker 1: the last time that jack Bars were on Monday Night
Speaker 1: football was twenty eleven. The last time they were on
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football was two thousand and eight. It's been
Speaker 1: a while. You have to perform well, obviously on the
Speaker 1: field for a number of years to get that recognition,
Speaker 1: to get those eyeballs on you, and you know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to mean, they've had Thursday night games obviously,
Speaker 1: they rotate those around. Uh that could be expected a
Speaker 1: game when you when you play for a team like
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and you haven't been very good lately, you're hoping
Speaker 1: that you may end up getting one national game besides
Speaker 1: a typical Thursday game, because you know you're gonna have
Speaker 1: a Thursday game. Everybody has to play Thursday game. And
Speaker 1: so will that be the only national exposure or might
Speaker 1: you get a Monday night game. The chances of getting
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game for this football team are nil.
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're winning ten games late in the
Speaker 1: year and they flex you in. You know, that's the
Speaker 1: only way They're not gonna be on the schedule or
Speaker 1: in the season. It's not gonna happen. And so they
Speaker 1: were on the schedule, I think an eight team, but
Speaker 1: they got the boot, got the boot. See you later.
Speaker 1: But the expectation to even make a Monday night game,
Speaker 1: I think it would be I think maybe far exceeding
Speaker 1: the expectations. I mean that this football team hasn't been
Speaker 1: good and picked number one overall for the last two years.
Speaker 1: So if anybody's expecting to have Monday night exposure, I mean, no,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. I think it would be shocking
Speaker 1: if it happens now. Typically, and in the past, you've
Speaker 1: seen some teams that played poor team on Monday Night
Speaker 1: or viewed as a poor team on Monday night just
Speaker 1: because it was you know, the other team was really good. Um,
Speaker 1: could that happen, maybe, but I don't expect it. I
Speaker 1: don't expect it with this, especially because of the extended schedule.
Speaker 1: So now they Monday night has more opportunities to get
Speaker 1: more matchup, better matchup, and I just I don't think
Speaker 1: that will happen. Looks at you gotta start winning ball games,
Speaker 1: win to get to get the expectations of Okay, are
Speaker 1: we going to have a national TV game? And and
Speaker 1: it's not a matter of all or it's disrespect. No,
Speaker 1: it's not disrespect. It's a matter of not playing well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not playing you're not playing good enough football, not
Speaker 1: nearly good enough of You're catering to a national audience
Speaker 1: at that point, and a team that's not winning is
Speaker 1: not going to cater to that audience. That's how it works. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 1: And you know, you lose the the home game opportunity here,
Speaker 1: the one that goes to London where you're playing the
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. So you still have, um, what's seven games left,
Speaker 1: okay to be able to play here at home? Not
Speaker 1: not eight seven seven because the one in London is
Speaker 1: the eighth. So here are the seven opponents coming to
Speaker 1: Jacksonville this year. That's already been out there obviously, so
Speaker 1: the Titans, the Cults, the Texans, of course, the Raiders,
Speaker 1: the Giants, and the Ravens are coming to Jacksonville and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys too. But which is Uh, the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: gonna be a big draw, The Giants are gonna be
Speaker 1: a big draw. Um, the Ravens I think will be
Speaker 1: a big draw. When I say big draw from from
Speaker 1: within the market and from from outside the market. As
Speaker 1: far as selling tickets, the ones that I think that
Speaker 1: are always going to be difficult are the ones that
Speaker 1: are in the Division Tennessee in Indianapolis. So you you
Speaker 1: hope that you get a favorable slot for those games
Speaker 1: from a ticketing standpoint and just from a competitive standpoint.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a tough home schedule. The Ravens are
Speaker 1: pretty good football team. They just missed last year. Raiders
Speaker 1: got in last year. The Cowboys are always knocking on
Speaker 1: the door. I mean, the Titans are the Titans, you
Speaker 1: know that. I mean that is that can be a
Speaker 1: difficult run. And then the road schedule, you gotta go
Speaker 1: to the other side of the a f C West. Also,
Speaker 1: you're going to Kansas City, and I mean it is
Speaker 1: and in l A, the Chargers, that whole division is
Speaker 1: is on the schedule this year. It's well, it's going
Speaker 1: to going to l A to play the Chargers. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's not like it's We're not talking about
Speaker 1: a hostile environment. It's just a good football football team
Speaker 1: with a good quarterback that had some some great offseason
Speaker 1: acquisitions and trades that they were able to make. So
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a tough match up there.
Speaker 1: Kanas City, that's a hostile environment now, and that's Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes uh uh Andy Reid. That's about us as if
Speaker 1: somebody wanted to take and then just throwing us out there,
Speaker 1: if there's a Jaguars fan that was sitting there going
Speaker 1: you know what, I really would like to maybe once
Speaker 1: the schedule comes out, take a good look at it
Speaker 1: and and make a road trip for me out of
Speaker 1: and read the road games off again real quick, okay,
Speaker 1: which and with not the division ones, because Nashville is
Speaker 1: always the place to go to within the division. Indianapolis
Speaker 1: has got a good downtown. But if there's some fans
Speaker 1: that are looking at maybe going to another game in
Speaker 1: another market with the road games, So you mentioned Kansas City,
Speaker 1: and then the Jags are in Detroit as well. Not
Speaker 1: a place to go to. It's indoors. You know, you
Speaker 1: got that going for you. Um, it's about all this
Speaker 1: going they got at the Jets. Um. I mean, first
Speaker 1: of all, if you if you want to go to
Speaker 1: the city, that's a great place. But you're not near
Speaker 1: the city when you're at the stadium. Okay, you're still
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty good jump away. Keep going. Washington, Um,
Speaker 1: Washington is out in the middle of nowhere Land, Maryland.
Speaker 1: You can stay in Baltimore, you can stay in d C.
Speaker 1: And so really, I mean it's it's I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be serious here and that there are a lot of
Speaker 1: fans that want to go to a great place to
Speaker 1: see a great game and also to get maybe a
Speaker 1: little bit of local flavor. Keep going. Let's see those
Speaker 1: are the ones out of division. Okay, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you right now, the one at the top of my
Speaker 1: list out of the division is Kansas City. Kans City
Speaker 1: has got first of all, it's a great ironment, it's
Speaker 1: a great stadium, it has a kans City is a
Speaker 1: is a is a cool town, has lots of things
Speaker 1: to to to choose from so out of all of
Speaker 1: the non divisional road games, that would probably be at
Speaker 1: the top of my list. Um, New York would be
Speaker 1: up there just because it's New York. New York is great,
Speaker 1: but I mean in the division, Nashville is always king.
Speaker 1: If you're into d C and doing all that stuff,
Speaker 1: the museums and things on Saturday, that might be cool.
Speaker 1: But again, the stadium is not. Literally you can it's
Speaker 1: closer to fly out to Baltimore's airport to get to
Speaker 1: the stadium. Yes, I mean it's it's literally if you
Speaker 1: if you were to look at a map and you
Speaker 1: look at Baltimore and d C and and go put
Speaker 1: your finger right between the two of them, that's where
Speaker 1: that stadium is at. And it's horrible traffic, just a
Speaker 1: nightmare in and out of it. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's not good. Now, I will tell you this,
Speaker 1: if if you were going to Baltimore, I would tell
Speaker 1: you that that's a great place to go to. It's
Speaker 1: got a lot of things to do in the city.
Speaker 1: It's looks not my favorite city, but the stadium stadium,
Speaker 1: right there's a great Yeah. But now, I mean Nashville,
Speaker 1: I can tell you this. Nashville is an awesome city.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a great place to go to. It's
Speaker 1: a great place to visit, music, music, roaw great restaurants,
Speaker 1: great music, great entertainment. They've got the Colosseum downtown there
Speaker 1: where they've got hockey and different events that are happening. Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: I think is a good town as far as it's
Speaker 1: it's everything is right there. When you go to Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: You can take an uber from the airport to the
Speaker 1: downtown and you don't have to do any ubers while
Speaker 1: you're downtown. You can walk everywhere. You know. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've had a bad time in Nashville. I've had
Speaker 1: to believe that I've had a couple of bad mornings
Speaker 1: in that show. Yeah, I think we all might have
Speaker 1: at one point. Hey, we'll come back in a moment.
Speaker 1: And Rookie Minicamp starts tomorrow. What to look for this
Speaker 1: weekend Friday Saturday. Not open to the public, but we'll
Speaker 1: get into some of the players and and some of
Speaker 1: the rookies are beginning to sign their contracts today as well.
Speaker 1: That's Eggs are future focused and ready for a new
Speaker 1: look in join us at the bank this season as
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson and quarterback Trevor Lawrence leave the charge.
Speaker 1: Lock in your seats. At Jaguars dot Com slash tickets,
Speaker 1: we're called nine oh four six three three two thousand.
Speaker 1: We are often running ita'st Jaguars Happy Hour on the
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network, Jacksonville Sports Talk for Jacksonville sports fans
Speaker 1: ten ten XL, home of the Checksonville Jaguars. There are
Speaker 1: two really good players there in both Trayvon and Aid
Speaker 1: and at the at the top of our our draft board.
Speaker 1: And and and you know, if let me let me
Speaker 1: just go back a little bit. You know, obviously Cam Robinson,
Speaker 1: you know, our left tackle, we were able to get
Speaker 1: his contract done, you know, prior to the draft and
Speaker 1: keep him here. I think I think, you know, sky's
Speaker 1: a limit with him. So solidifying our offensive line that
Speaker 1: way really, um really kind of helped to in the
Speaker 1: decisions we made in the draft. And and then we
Speaker 1: look at these two players and both are high character guys,
Speaker 1: both would be great in our room, in our locker room,
Speaker 1: good leaders, um, you know. And for us, it was
Speaker 1: it was just the potential, the upside, the things that
Speaker 1: we saw and you know, as you know, Rich, I mean,
Speaker 1: as coaches, we were prevvy to a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of film and a lot of conversations that a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't get right, and a lot of
Speaker 1: information and part of our job is to gain that information.
Speaker 1: And and we just felt at the time that and
Speaker 1: even sitting here today that you know, the best for
Speaker 1: our organization was Trayvon Walker. Let's head coach Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: on the Rich Eyes and Show yesterday syndicated nationally also
Speaker 1: on the Peacock Network. Our courtesy to them and welcome backs,
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy our j P. Shadrick with Jeff Logaman, Joe Fortunado,
Speaker 1: br Reaver and the Jaguars have rookie Minicamp coming up
Speaker 1: starting tomorrow. And that that was the conversation, why did
Speaker 1: you pick Trayvon Walker over Aiden Hutchinson. Rich Eysens, a
Speaker 1: noted Michigan alumnus. That's why he had a little vested
Speaker 1: interest in the in the question there. So that was
Speaker 1: the answer. Little upside and reports today that Trayvon Walker
Speaker 1: has come to it that they've come to the agreement
Speaker 1: to sign his rookie contract slotted anyway, but Apparently that's
Speaker 1: going to happen officially a little later today. A lot
Speaker 1: of money, a lot of guaranteed money, as you would
Speaker 1: expect from the first overall picking the draft. And I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to watching him in the rookie minicamp. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you want to see out of him like
Speaker 1: this weekend? It's not like the old days when Dante
Speaker 1: Fowler's year really changed everything when he went down with
Speaker 1: the knee issue and they're running like Lebanon cl Come,
Speaker 1: it was that's pretty significant. A knee issue is like
Speaker 1: a little tweet. It was not that he tore his
Speaker 1: a c l so um, but that was they had
Speaker 1: try out guys, they're running a love it on eleven
Speaker 1: and you know, it got toned down a little bit
Speaker 1: for at least in my view, since that time, as
Speaker 1: it should be. I mean, I think I think Roland
Speaker 1: rookies up in here and uh and expecting and wanting
Speaker 1: them to go completely full speed and wide open is
Speaker 1: insanity for two reasons. One, the players need to acclimate
Speaker 1: to what your expectations are as coaches. Okay, these rookies
Speaker 1: have been preparing for the draft. They haven't been preparing
Speaker 1: for football practice. In the National Football League. Okay, they've
Speaker 1: been doing the handshake and kiss babies tour since the draft, okay, celebrating. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I think you've got to have I think a
Speaker 1: lot of common sense with the way you approach a
Speaker 1: rookie minicamp and that you're trying to assimilate these young
Speaker 1: players into their into your system and to teach them
Speaker 1: what the expectation ins are not immediately say physically you
Speaker 1: need to show us right now, that's crazy, um. And
Speaker 1: then the other reason you have rookies that are drafted
Speaker 1: that you have huge investments in. Okay, Travon's gotta what's
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money signing bonus? Thirty seven million dollar total contract,
Speaker 1: but I think it's twenty four is guaranteed, full guarantee, guaranteed,
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed contract, ton of upbrunket money. Okay. So you're
Speaker 1: bringing in the draft picks with you know, Muma and
Speaker 1: Lloyd and all the other guys, Connor, and then you're
Speaker 1: also bringing in a lot of rookies on a tryout basis,
Speaker 1: so okay, so you have to be a little bit
Speaker 1: smart there too, and that Okay, you've got a section
Speaker 1: of rookies that are trying to make an impression. They're drafted,
Speaker 1: they know that they're gonna have an opportunity to earn
Speaker 1: the ability to be on this team. There's another segment
Speaker 1: of rookies that are have a little bit of a
Speaker 1: window and that they're given an opportunity to show what
Speaker 1: they can do over these couple of days. So do
Speaker 1: you want to have that group that's trying to impress
Speaker 1: right now go on a hundred miles an hour with
Speaker 1: this group over here that's trying to impress, but then
Speaker 1: also knows that they're gonna be here for training camp.
Speaker 1: I don't want to have the two of these groups
Speaker 1: kind of mixing together, you know what I mean, Because
Speaker 1: sometimes you have guys that are a little out of
Speaker 1: control from the group that doesn't have a contract, that's
Speaker 1: here on a tryout basis show something that's trying to
Speaker 1: show something in a limited window. And I totally appreciate
Speaker 1: that and respect that, but you've gotta be careful. You
Speaker 1: have to limit I think the number of group drills
Speaker 1: that you do. You do more of the individual work,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of classroom stuff to see how
Speaker 1: the retention is and um but physically, it's it's showing
Speaker 1: them the expectation and it's it's getting them to work
Speaker 1: in his shape. I just remember when you go back
Speaker 1: and you mentioned Dante Fowler when he tours a c L.
Speaker 1: This was a very tough, demanding practice that Dante Fowler
Speaker 1: was getting winded and his legs were getting tired. And
Speaker 1: I think that contributed to the a c L terror
Speaker 1: that he sustained in that practice because he wasn't conditioning,
Speaker 1: conditioned where he needed to be. I truly believe that
Speaker 1: because I was watching him in practice, going this is
Speaker 1: not good. He's getting winded because he's going a hundred
Speaker 1: miles an hour trying to impress I'm a first round pick.
Speaker 1: I want to show everybody why I'm a first round pick.
Speaker 1: And uh and then one bad step there goes. So
Speaker 1: this weekend, Tomorrow and Saturday, there will be a little
Speaker 1: over forty players total that participating in this. Of course,
Speaker 1: the draft picks, the undrafted players that have signed, as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, some tryout players are coming in as well.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith's son is going to be a part of
Speaker 1: this this weekend, running back from Wyoming. He will be
Speaker 1: here as well. Um there'll be some you know, some
Speaker 1: light team reps ten or fifteen plays a seven on seven,
Speaker 1: but it's mainly drills, as you said, getting the lay
Speaker 1: of the land. How do you what's the operation of
Speaker 1: the NFL for a lot of these guys who haven't
Speaker 1: done it before, or you want to see athletically how
Speaker 1: they move, you know, it's a firsthand look at some
Speaker 1: of these guys that are here on a tryout basis. Look,
Speaker 1: you know what your your draft picks are. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've done a ton of work on them. A lot
Speaker 1: of the the undrafted signed rookies you've done work on
Speaker 1: them as well. And then some of these tryouts you
Speaker 1: probably haven't done quite as much work, or you don't
Speaker 1: know as much about some of them. I mean, you'd
Speaker 1: like to think that you're scouting department knows everything about everybody,
Speaker 1: but that's not the case sometimes And the reality is
Speaker 1: that sometimes your evaluation is off, as we've seen with
Speaker 1: the history of the draft overall, So you might end
Speaker 1: up having a very poor report on a guy that's
Speaker 1: coming in here on a tryout basis that when you
Speaker 1: see him in person, you're like, Wow, why why did
Speaker 1: we only have him with a three point oh grade
Speaker 1: when he's moving around like he's a he's a five
Speaker 1: point eight grade. Let's give him a chance, let's sign
Speaker 1: him no contract. So it's a great opportunity for a
Speaker 1: lot of different reasons to get people acclimated, to start
Speaker 1: to work them towards what the expectations are as far
Speaker 1: as the level of conditioning, the knowledge of the scheme,
Speaker 1: and then also getting to know some of these guys,
Speaker 1: some of these guys that are in here on a
Speaker 1: tryout basis, do they fit your personality of your culture? Okay?
Speaker 1: Are they the kind of people that you want to
Speaker 1: bring in to when you're trying to flip the culture
Speaker 1: in an organization. So it's it's it's gonna be very valuable,
Speaker 1: very valuable. Couple of days. We'll come back in a moment.
Speaker 1: The offseason schedule o T A open practice for media
Speaker 1: has been announced. Well, um, you know it was finally announced. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish you look get to that. I wish it
Speaker 1: was a little bit more. I'll just leave you with
Speaker 1: that local. Yeah, we'll find out why when we come back.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Jaguars on the practice field tomorrow. The
Speaker 1: rookies for rookie minicamp tomorrow and Saturday plenty more ahead
Speaker 1: it's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. What
Speaker 1: what sort of drew me to to here and really
Speaker 1: to him, was just you know this this this kid
Speaker 1: is young number one. You know, it came out early,
Speaker 1: and he's he's he's a really good passer. You know,
Speaker 1: he's very uh eager to learn. He's a smart kid.
Speaker 1: Things that we've seen already here in the offseason program.
Speaker 1: You know, he's the first one in. He just wants
Speaker 1: to He just wants you to sponge, you know, and
Speaker 1: the guy that you can shape and mold and really, uh,
Speaker 1: sky's the limit with him at that can move. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, comes from a system in college where it
Speaker 1: was very you know, play action, pass and movement RPO
Speaker 1: game and things that we can bring you know as
Speaker 1: an offense to Jacksonville. And and just his leadership. You know,
Speaker 1: the fact that he played you know, the entire season
Speaker 1: last year. This kid is not a rookie. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, you know where we're kind of starting
Speaker 1: over with him and just building him from the ground up,
Speaker 1: and and um, you know he's embracing that and showing
Speaker 1: really good improvement every day as head coach Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: again on the Rich Eyes and Show yesterday and welcome back,
Speaker 1: it's Jaguars Happy Hour, of course, Peterson talking about the
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence, J P. Shadrick with Jeff Flagman on
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Are glad you're along with us today on
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars social channels Twitter, Facebook and YouTube
Speaker 1: and tintin x l AM here in Jacksonville, Florida. Well,
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Yeah, that's gonna be something to watch when
Speaker 1: the off season program continues. Obviously won't be out there
Speaker 1: this weekend with rookie Minicamp going on, but then the
Speaker 1: Organized Team Activity schedule has been announced. There will be
Speaker 1: three o t A practices open for media to cover
Speaker 1: MAE Monday, that's the first one May thirty one to Tuesday,
Speaker 1: that's the fourth of the O t A s and
Speaker 1: then Monday, June six, O t A number seven. Then
Speaker 1: there's the three day mandatory veteran mini camp the following
Speaker 1: week a Monday through Wednesday, June through so there will
Speaker 1: be six open veteran practices for the media in May
Speaker 1: and June. And uh so you got two for the rookies,
Speaker 1: which is this wee uh tomorrow and then Saturday and
Speaker 1: then Uh. What I kind of have a little bit
Speaker 1: of an issue is is that, Look, this is a
Speaker 1: great exposure for your football team and a great opportunity
Speaker 1: to help the local media sell your franchise, I mean
Speaker 1: sell tickets, I mean interest. And you have ten o
Speaker 1: t a s and you have three of them open
Speaker 1: to the media. I think that that's not enough. I
Speaker 1: think it should be more. Uh, the more conversation that
Speaker 1: you get about your football team, the better off you're
Speaker 1: gonna be, I think. And uh, I mean you've generated
Speaker 1: a lot of positivity with the draft and free agency.
Speaker 1: I mean, so I mean, why not take advantage of
Speaker 1: the opportunity there. Um, I just think it's I think
Speaker 1: they're losing an opportunity there in my opinion. Now, what's
Speaker 1: is there a balance of competitive advantage like not don't
Speaker 1: want to give up too much or I mean there's
Speaker 1: some things that you put in now you want people
Speaker 1: to see, Like, well, I'm not saying open all ten
Speaker 1: of them up, even though that in the past there
Speaker 1: has been all ten open. But I still think that
Speaker 1: there's a look, you have you have all looking when
Speaker 1: you're trying to put in the meat and potatos. I mean, JP,
Speaker 1: is there really that much secrecy and an O t
Speaker 1: A to where you're developing this incredible scheme that's gonna
Speaker 1: be so different than anybody's ever seen in the National
Speaker 1: Football League? Hell no, come on, I mean it's it's there,
Speaker 1: our our secrets. But I mean you're not You're not
Speaker 1: gonna have the ability to be shrouded in secrecy in
Speaker 1: the all season and say, oh yeah, if we let
Speaker 1: one O t A open, we're gonna let the cat
Speaker 1: out of the bag. I mean, come on, it's football.
Speaker 1: This is not rocket science. And uh and I think
Speaker 1: that um. And here's the other thing. I think O
Speaker 1: t A s when they are are open, it doesn't
Speaker 1: hurt anybody. It allows I think, relationships to be built
Speaker 1: between UM and here. Here's one thing I've always been
Speaker 1: a big believer in and I'll never forget this. When
Speaker 1: I first came in the National Football League, when you
Speaker 1: had drills that were being viewed by members of the public,
Speaker 1: we had opened. The first time I've experienced I ever
Speaker 1: had was when I was in New York and we
Speaker 1: had a training camp that was open to the public.
Speaker 1: This was before the Jaguars even came to an existence.
Speaker 1: And you would back up a one on one drill,
Speaker 1: whether it be passed rusher or run blocking or anything,
Speaker 1: and you would back it up into a group of
Speaker 1: fans and then all of a sudden, where did your
Speaker 1: intensity level go to? It went higher because you knew
Speaker 1: people were watching. And I'm not saying that the media
Speaker 1: is is you know, thousands of people, but I mean
Speaker 1: it's the more people and more eyeballs that are on
Speaker 1: your performance. I think the more I think intensity focus
Speaker 1: that sometimes players can get. And uh so, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a I just think it's a great
Speaker 1: opportunity to have this football team be at the conversation
Speaker 1: top of the conversation across a lot of different media platforms,
Speaker 1: and um, I think it should be more believe at that.
Speaker 1: I'm curious, Um, you know, how much will the quarterback?
Speaker 1: We heard him Doug Peterson talking about Lawrence there with
Speaker 1: with rich eyes and yesterday, you know how much of
Speaker 1: the full new playbook do you get to? You get
Speaker 1: pieces at a time as the offseason goes. How do
Speaker 1: you build up that the base level of knowledge of
Speaker 1: this offense is as it all depends on the player
Speaker 1: and how much he can handle. So I think that's
Speaker 1: a big part of it. How much experience does he
Speaker 1: have with the terminology that you're using? Are you worrying
Speaker 1: about teaching terminology or you taking up to the next level?
Speaker 1: You know? I mean when when you when I say
Speaker 1: the next level, you know, when you when you're in
Speaker 1: college or um, you're taking classes, you know, like one O, one, Okay,
Speaker 1: then the next level is a two hundred level and
Speaker 1: then three level. So where is he adding the progression
Speaker 1: of understanding the schemes and the terminology? So how far
Speaker 1: can you take him or how deep can you take
Speaker 1: him into the playbook based on what he's been able
Speaker 1: to learn already, And and that's always based on the individual.
Speaker 1: And I think Trevor is very smart from everything that
Speaker 1: I understand. He has a great retention. Um, he's extremely
Speaker 1: dill Jenny. He works hard. He doesn't just work in
Speaker 1: the building, which is what some players do. They work
Speaker 1: only in the building when they leave here, they don't study,
Speaker 1: and that I think is a major hindrance to that position. Specifically,
Speaker 1: you have to have somebody who has wone to put
Speaker 1: the time in and the commitment to be able to
Speaker 1: understand the playbook because the playbook is so complex for
Speaker 1: that position. Playing defensive line, JP. Look, it's like it's
Speaker 1: grade one seriously playing offensive line. I'll give Basselli a
Speaker 1: little bit of a credit here. I mean he's fifth
Speaker 1: grade level. Wow, moving on up? Okay, um wide receivers,
Speaker 1: running backs, I mean, you know it's probably about the
Speaker 1: same thing, but then once you get to quarterback. I
Speaker 1: mean that's like master study. I mean seriously when I
Speaker 1: say that mean because not only do they have to
Speaker 1: understand what everybody on the offense is doing protections, but
Speaker 1: then also understanding defenses, progressions and everything that goes along
Speaker 1: with running an offense. And so it's extremely complex and
Speaker 1: it and it requires more than just punching a claw
Speaker 1: when you walk in this building and doing your work.
Speaker 1: You have to take that work home with you. And
Speaker 1: that's something that Trevor has been committed to from what
Speaker 1: I understand, And that's what you have to have for
Speaker 1: somebody to play that position. You know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: It always happens this time of year. O T. A S.
Speaker 1: There's coverage of O. T. A S. Which is great,
Speaker 1: that's the whole point as you're out there seeing guys
Speaker 1: running around, but the um the overkill of you know,
Speaker 1: this guy dropped this ball in an O t A
Speaker 1: practice And I don't think you're gonna cut the team
Speaker 1: after watching some O t A practices, but there will
Speaker 1: be probably some coverage that does. That's just kind of
Speaker 1: how this the nature is right now on social media too. Well.
Speaker 1: I I think the biggest thing is is that you
Speaker 1: with O t A S is that you're the camaraderie
Speaker 1: that you build, the chemistry that you build, the communication
Speaker 1: that you build, because communication is also something that has
Speaker 1: to be built. It's just you can't assume that we're
Speaker 1: gonna be on the same page. JP. How many years
Speaker 1: have we've been working together now, okay, ten years that
Speaker 1: we've been working together, But we still have a conversation
Speaker 1: before we go behind these microphones because that's what we do.
Speaker 1: And and I think that the work has to be
Speaker 1: put in with players, especially in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: because things are changing constantly. Rosters are changing, systems are changing,
Speaker 1: the way that the communication works between coaches. I mean,
Speaker 1: all of that stuff is changing, and so part part
Speaker 1: of the whole O T A. S is not just
Speaker 1: you know, going out there and okay in playing quarterback
Speaker 1: and we're learning to operate the huddle, I mean all
Speaker 1: of those things, but also the relationship that you're building
Speaker 1: with players to coach, coach, the player, coach to coach,
Speaker 1: player to player, staff to coach. I mean, all of
Speaker 1: these things are being built so that when you do
Speaker 1: hit the regular season and things become extremely difficult and
Speaker 1: much higher paced, and the expectation levels get cranked up
Speaker 1: to the top of the ceiling, you can function and
Speaker 1: you can operate within that environment that all of that
Speaker 1: stuff is built at this time of year. We're back
Speaker 1: in a moment a look around the National Football League
Speaker 1: as we get into rookie Minicamp weekend for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and that will take a look if you're watching this program,
Speaker 1: which is available on Jaguars dot Com on the Jags
Speaker 1: social channels, will take a look at the Football Performance
Speaker 1: Center construction. When we return, it's Jaguars Happy Hour on
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour. If
Speaker 1: you're watching on Jaguars dot Com, Jacks Social media, a
Speaker 1: live look at the footprint of the Jaguars Football Performance Center.
Speaker 1: They're all walls going up and there's dirt being moved.
Speaker 1: The old building, the old cool Zone building and storage
Speaker 1: building was torn down today. I watched him for about
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes shair the final two walls down with a
Speaker 1: big crane or a doze or something whatever, some kind
Speaker 1: of machinery there for between a crane and a bulldoze
Speaker 1: or it had like to like tank treads and it
Speaker 1: had like a long kind of armed thing. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like a kind of a back hole, but not really,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it was, thank you. But I didn't
Speaker 1: have like the scoop like on the gold shows, you
Speaker 1: know they scoop them and the pay dirt and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. I didn't having that. It had like a
Speaker 1: pinching mechanism. Yeah, and it would like run into the wall,
Speaker 1: knock it over, and then it pinched something and move
Speaker 1: it off to the side. It's pretty cool, yeah, because
Speaker 1: you know that's the technical terminology. Yeah, you know, I've
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time in construction. Yeah, but that's cool.
Speaker 1: It's going up. We're gonna call you machinery, peat right.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a great footprint it just keeps growing
Speaker 1: and growing by the day and looking forward to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. And you know, there is some
Speaker 1: news coming on the on the shipyards. I it's on track,
Speaker 1: the cost going up a little bit. There was a
Speaker 1: report in the Times Union the other day for the
Speaker 1: four seasons, the office building and the marina project. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to ask a little more time because of
Speaker 1: some things they found on that property. The bulkheads need
Speaker 1: some work, the marina, a relocation of some underground utilities.
Speaker 1: There was some old gantry structures from the old ship
Speaker 1: repaired days that they found underground there that they're not
Speaker 1: really able to build around all of them. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to move some of that stuff as well. They've
Speaker 1: also announced the PCL Construction is the construction manager. They've
Speaker 1: been involved in some other four Seasons projects in other cities.
Speaker 1: And as we speak, the Downtown Development Review Board is meeting.
Speaker 1: I believe this is coming up on the docket either
Speaker 1: next to or very soon in the next little few
Speaker 1: minutes here uh for final conceptual approval for the design
Speaker 1: of the four seasons in the office building. That meeting
Speaker 1: started at two o'clock there lasting the agenda today, so
Speaker 1: we might have some news this afternoon which you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully positive and and a goo. Yeah, well, I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to seeing um that whole area developed. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a long time coming, I will say that. I
Speaker 1: just I just remember in when I when I first
Speaker 1: came here with the expansion team, and it was one
Speaker 1: of the brave souls and free agency to come to
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at that time, was coming down the street there
Speaker 1: and and looking and seeing all that vacant land going. Man,
Speaker 1: this has got to be developed at some point. There's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of opportunity here and and here
Speaker 1: we are a long time ago. It's a long time ago, man,
Speaker 1: And uh really nothing's been done with that. And so
Speaker 1: I look forward to the to the day when when
Speaker 1: they start doing something down there to bring a vibrant downtown.
Speaker 1: Because you know, here's the thing that list that we
Speaker 1: went through at the very top of the top of
Speaker 1: the show talking about destinations and places that you want
Speaker 1: to go to. What was the common theme of what
Speaker 1: I was talking about with all these city entertainment, downtown attractions,
Speaker 1: things to do, things to keep you there. That's the
Speaker 1: beauty of Nashville. It's one of the great reasons why
Speaker 1: Kansas City is fantastic. Even though the stadium is not
Speaker 1: that close to downtown. You wish it were. Uh, Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: which with the stadium and then the downtown is is fantastic.
Speaker 1: I mean, those are the places that become destinations where
Speaker 1: people want to come and see what you have. And
Speaker 1: so I hope that at some point that our city
Speaker 1: can get to the point to where other people around
Speaker 1: the league are are looking at the schedule when it
Speaker 1: comes out and goes, oh, we gotta go to Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Finally it's on our schedule. Let's go, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Because I mean, you gotta give him a
Speaker 1: reason besides just a ball game. Yeah, and the beach,
Speaker 1: which is great. Yeah, but yeah, but there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some other stuff. Gotta give him some other stuff. That's right.
Speaker 1: And and it's kind trending that way of course down
Speaker 1: here with everything going on around the stadium and then
Speaker 1: on the other side of downtown, the Brooklyn area has
Speaker 1: really come up lately and development we got ways to
Speaker 1: go working on. At least they're they're starting the thing,
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. Let's go around the National
Speaker 1: Football League. We touched on this earlier, but Tom Brady
Speaker 1: agreeing with Fox Sports apparently for when his career ends
Speaker 1: ten years, three seventy five million dollars to do something
Speaker 1: he's never done before. He's never announced the football game. No,
Speaker 1: he hasn't. And uh, and look, there's been some guys
Speaker 1: that have retired and gone to the booth, so to speak,
Speaker 1: that haven't done a great job. Joe Montana didn't do
Speaker 1: a great job. Ronnie Lott, and I love Ronnie, didn't
Speaker 1: do a great job. Some guys have a knack for
Speaker 1: Tradman fantastic, I mean fantastic, Baselly fantastic. I mean there's
Speaker 1: guys that have a natural ability that they can analyze, entertain,
Speaker 1: and inform. And you have to be able to be
Speaker 1: committed to understanding what it's all about. And look, Tom
Speaker 1: Brady has been a great worker throughout his career. That's
Speaker 1: why he is so great. And my expectation for him
Speaker 1: is that he will work extremely hard to be good
Speaker 1: at it. I would be disappointed if if anything else happens,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean he's gonna be great. But my
Speaker 1: expectation is that he will find a way to be
Speaker 1: great and I look forward to hearing him. Uh. Tony
Speaker 1: Romo is a guy that works very hard at it,
Speaker 1: and I think he's pretty good. Sometimes he's annoying because
Speaker 1: he keeps guessing like that's part of what he's supposed
Speaker 1: to do. It's not always about guessing, it's about informing
Speaker 1: and uh. But there's guys that are really good that
Speaker 1: that did what what they've done for a long period
Speaker 1: of time in the National Football League and have become great,
Speaker 1: great analysts, commentators, whatever. You want to consider that Joe,
Speaker 1: you you'll remember this, that was Joe Nameth as an analyst.
Speaker 1: Did he do like Monday Night Football Front? Very good?
Speaker 1: Didn't last long? Yeah, Joe was not good at all.
Speaker 1: I don't remember him doing I thought Nameth did Monday
Speaker 1: Night for a minute, but not long. No, it didn't
Speaker 1: last because that guy's got personality, obviously, but it just
Speaker 1: didn't work in that So I mean, look, I mean
Speaker 1: it's just because you have personality, he doesn't make you
Speaker 1: good at doing a broadcasters duties. I mean that's there
Speaker 1: requires certain things. There's some guys that are great in
Speaker 1: studio and there are some guys that in a in
Speaker 1: a game setting, are fantastic. So, I mean, everybody has
Speaker 1: a talent, I think, and you've got to find a
Speaker 1: way to bring that talent to the forefront and also
Speaker 1: to find out what that talent is to be able
Speaker 1: to make sure that it is it is highlighted to
Speaker 1: some extent. Everybody's chasing the the John Madden. It doesn't
Speaker 1: get better than that. It will never get well. And look,
Speaker 1: I'll say this about John standard. John Well, He's John
Speaker 1: was a gold standard. And and for guys that played
Speaker 1: the game, I mean John was awesome. And not only
Speaker 1: did John give you great analysis, but he entertained with
Speaker 1: the way his excitement and in the way that he
Speaker 1: presented the game was incredible. His big picture analysis was
Speaker 1: was I mean right up there. And I think today
Speaker 1: I think Chris collins Worth does an amazing job at
Speaker 1: big picture analysis. But there were times as far as
Speaker 1: game analysis that John Madden was off, I mean off.
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes I'd be watching and I sit there
Speaker 1: and listen to what he was the play that he
Speaker 1: was breaking down. I was going, John, That's not what happened.
Speaker 1: But he was so good and entertaining for the most part,
Speaker 1: and his big picture analysis was awesome. And JP Boom.
Speaker 1: I mean those things that he did as part of
Speaker 1: his analysis in the in the Tell Straighter. I mean
Speaker 1: he was a maestro. He could relate to anybody football
Speaker 1: fan or not and get them to have the TV
Speaker 1: on that stage, talk to talk. Some early announced games
Speaker 1: by the league. The official announcement tonight at eight o'clock
Speaker 1: Eastern time of the schedule. The week to Monday Night
Speaker 1: Football doubleheader announced the Titans and the Bills at seven
Speaker 1: fifteen on ESPN and then on ABC at eight thirty.
Speaker 1: That week it's the Vikings and the Eagles. Week four,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Bucks play on Sunday Night Football
Speaker 1: in a game that should be the Homes and Brady,
Speaker 1: and then we tend the Cowboys and the Packers. Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy returns to lambeau Field in a national game on Fox.
Speaker 1: There are three Christmas Day games same schedule as Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Christmas is a Sunday, so in lieu of all games
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, they're doing it like they do Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: three one in each window. And then most of the
Speaker 1: bulk of the games that week will be on Saturday,
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day, So that's interesting. Of
Speaker 1: course the International Series games have been announced as so
Speaker 1: anyone I was talking about the schedule, about what you
Speaker 1: look for in the schedule. Okay, are we gonna be home?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna be away on Christmas weekend? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, because it was a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: or was it seventeen, went to the West coast like
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, right, played in San Francisco, got smoked, and
Speaker 1: then I had to come back with the Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: The The old rule of thumb is that the NFL
Speaker 1: knows no holidays. It doesn't. I mean, it's the sport
Speaker 1: is part. No Sundays and Mondays and Thursdays and Saturdays
Speaker 1: late in the season. That's it. It doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: it's Christmas, Hanukah, Thanksgiving, New Year's, it doesn't matter. There's
Speaker 1: no holidays in football. There's no crying in football either.
Speaker 1: There's no holidays. No, there's crying in football. The Bears
Speaker 1: said goodbye to Nick Foles last week. They say hello
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville native and Bartram Trail product Nathan Peterman for
Speaker 1: a one year deal. Justin fields Trevor Simion or there
Speaker 1: Peterman and his career. Unfortunately, three touchdowns and twelve interceptions
Speaker 1: with his time with the Bills and the Raiders. But
Speaker 1: good for him, Jacksonville guy is still getting a shot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good for him. Now the speculation has been out there
Speaker 1: a little bit, could Nick Foles come to Jacksonville because
Speaker 1: of Peterson? I don't see it. I don't either. I
Speaker 1: don't see it. No, I don't see it either. I
Speaker 1: don't see it. So that ship has sailed, I believe, maybe,
Speaker 1: maybe not. I mean, I'm not I don't know for sure.
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to Doug Peterson about it either. I
Speaker 1: don't think that that's gonna happen. But then then again,
Speaker 1: what do I know. Adam Schefter of ESPN reporting just
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago that Rapaho Sheriff in the Colorado
Speaker 1: the Arepo County, They're announced that Broncos wide receiver Jerry
Speaker 1: Judy is being held at the county jail on charges
Speaker 1: of second degree criminal tampering with a domestic violence enhancer
Speaker 1: MS demeanor. He's on a no bond hold. He's innocent
Speaker 1: until proven guilty, so you might have to stay in
Speaker 1: until he sees a judge whenever that is. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's breaking. This afternoon. Innocent until proven guilty, but not
Speaker 1: a good thing if you know, look, Denver Broncos, a
Speaker 1: good young receiver, new quarterback, new coach, new general manager,
Speaker 1: and uh, that's not the kind of momentum builder that
Speaker 1: you want to have happening in May. So it's been
Speaker 1: a busy offseason for the Denver Broncos. New head coach,
Speaker 1: new quarterback, this going on, I mean, it's a lot happening.
Speaker 1: It was pretty interesting this week and that I don't
Speaker 1: know if you did you have to see the some
Speaker 1: of Paton Andning's comments and John Elway's comments because there's
Speaker 1: so much going on with the Denver Broncos, and that
Speaker 1: the first of all, the Russell Wilson trade, the change
Speaker 1: in coaching staffs, got general manager John Elway, who has
Speaker 1: essentially been an advisory role to the general manager there
Speaker 1: because he's the one who named that general manager recently.
Speaker 1: And then Peyton Manning is uh, could Peyton Manning, could
Speaker 1: John Elway, either one of these two guys be involved
Speaker 1: in the new ownership Because the team is for sale,
Speaker 1: the reported amount of money is an excess of five
Speaker 1: billion of what that could sell for one of the
Speaker 1: Walton heirs is one of the prospective buyers and was
Speaker 1: just recently in Denver touring the facility. And uh, if
Speaker 1: he does buy the Denver Broncos h And I don't
Speaker 1: remember his first name, that Walton, but he would be

Speaker 1: I want to say that the Walton air is worth
Speaker 1: like a hundred fifty plus billion, hundred seventy plus billion
Speaker 1: dollars something like that JP, which um is a large
Speaker 1: amount of money. But on top of that JP, the
Speaker 1: NFL ownership rules are so strict. It's not like they
Speaker 1: can have a lot of different groups buying it because
Speaker 1: they have to be able to sustain or to satisfy
Speaker 1: some of the requirements for ownership in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: which are very stringent and are becoming a little bit
Speaker 1: more difficult to attain because of the value the franchises
Speaker 1: have become so large. You have it. That's our look
Speaker 1: around the National Football League or thanks to Joe Fortunado,
Speaker 1: Brent Reaverer Logs. Will talk to you next week and
