Schedule release will have instant reaction. Coming up tonight, 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.080 we'll go around the NFL as well as I breaking 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:02.040 news out of Denver today with a wider Seever, Jeff 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.600 not not good news for Jerry. Judy will get to 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.480 that coming up, but don't really know why it's not 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.839 good news yet. It's that early in the process. Jeff 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.120 Lockman is never in trouble. How are you? I'm doing 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.920 good how's your vacation. It's good. It was nice. We'll 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.039 get away in Alabama back. Yeah, that's right, Alabama. But 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.120 by the way, Joe's list of home games, it wouldn't 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.080 be a bad schedule. I was thinking Costa Rica would 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.360 be nice too. In the football games will get in 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.959 the way. Maybe Illinois, you know, let's have a game 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.400 in Illinois about you know, first or second week of November, 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.240 you know, sometime or there, you know, and it just 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.880 has to be a lot of big deer. Why I 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.920 was okay, Yeah, I figured there was a catch somebody. Yeah, 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.360 or Iowa. You know, is there a ProTeam in Iowa? 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:50.080 Let's make one. You and Brandon Sheriff would love that 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.400 trip for sure. Hey, Sheriff would have has lined up, 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.640 he wouldn't He would have has lined up pretty good, 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.680 I bet I think so. So we'll find out tonight, 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.680 you know, eight o'clock. Oh you know, the teams are playing. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.120 It's no matter when the games are. And there was 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.520 only one that's been announced. That's the London game obviously, 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.440 the Broncos and the Jaguars October. Right then. There's been 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.799 a few a few leaks here and there about some 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.160 games not not the Jaguars, but just games around the 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.280 league and uh, and some of the expectations there. And 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.360 I thought it was interesting and that there was an 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.760 article that was written recently that talked about how the 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.400 schedule kind of got put in a little bit of 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.680 a cluster fudge because of the unretirement of Tom Brady. Yes, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.919 I mean I think that's pretty wild, right, how they 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.040 had right, I think they had it almost ready and 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.920 then Tom, just Tom, like I know him, Brady decided 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.560 it's tight. Uh, he decides to retire, like, oh, we 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.239 got to redo the whole league schedule now. But I mean, 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.080 here's the reality. He's worth. He's worth the time and 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.920 the effort of making the schedule read on or or 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.480 to get it right. If I'm an executive at CBS 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.560 or Fox and I realized they didn't redo the schedule 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.520 at three, I would have been well, Fox mainly would 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:10.280 be very upset. A Fox because Sunday Night game correct, correct, 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.400 But Fox because they want to make sure that they 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.720 can highlight their up and coming broadcaster. Who's gonna have 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:22.240 a ten year, three dollar contract. That's awesome, That's why. 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.800 How about that guy? The guys lined up for a 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:33.160 broadcasting contract before his playing career is even over. That's that. No, 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.320 no quarterback I don't think has ever had, or any 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.520 player has ever had an opportunity like what's being presented 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.520 to Tom Brady to be able to leave the game 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.320 and to make way way more money than he's ever 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.680 made as an NFL player, averaging thirty seven and a 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.520 half million dollars a year. I mean, it's awesome, it's good. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.480 I mean it's awesome, but it's it just goes to 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:03.600 show you the power of Tom Brady. Joe Fortunato, Hello, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.160 I just wonder if that thirty seven million dollars a 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.480 year will put him ahead of his wife. No, I 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.040 think he's got a long way ago. Absolutely not. No, 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:18.400 it's not even close. It's all the same family though now. No. No, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.040 But it's cool. I mean, I'm happy for him, and 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.920 I think he's gonna do great out just because it's 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.360 it's Tom Brady, and he works incredibly hard at everything 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.800 that he does. A little more on the schedule, least 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.720 tonight again eight o'clock NFL Network, Our special here at 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.640 eight o'clock on Jaguars dot Com, the Jacks social channels 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.640 as well Jaguars, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. What do you 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.000 look for first when the schedule? Can really want to know? 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.280 I really want to know. That's why I asked the question, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.599 what do you first look for? Uh? Well, A couple 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.520 of things, umum. First of all, I look at it 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.000 from a competitive standpoint. Okay, how how good of a 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.679 start can the Jaguars get out to early first month? 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.080 Because you want to be able to build momentum. So 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.200 I look at for in the first month in September, 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.240 you find out, Okay, what's going on? I look at 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.640 the key holidays, just from a family standpoint. Okay, what's 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.880 happening for Christmas? What's happening for Thanksgiving? Where are we 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:16.400 that week? Um? New Year's Okay, what's happening there? What's 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:23.800 happening around my son's birthday? What's happening around uh dear season? Okay? 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.839 So when you know, we know when the when the 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.720 trip to London is, which is I believe the game 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.880 is gonna be played on the So is the bye 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.920 week gonna happen the week after? Like what has happened 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.919 in the past, Will it happen sooner? Will it happen later? 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.000 I mean, that's all kind of from a timing standpoint, 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.279 because I mean, for you know, for our bye week, 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.000 we get some time off and that's you know, an 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.880 opportunity to get away a little bit. So I mean, yeah, 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.480 I mean there's a lot of things that you look at. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.720 I also look at it from the standpoint of JP. 0:05:55.400 --> 0:06:00.520 Are we going to Nashville in November when we get 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.159 to see the leave color change? Are we going to 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:09.320 Boston or a cold weather place in December? Seriously, I mean, 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.880 those are all the things that you look at when 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.120 you when you look at the schedule, and then what 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.040 what kind of restaurants are in the city that we're 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.680 gonna be Let's get serious. I hate to say that, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.920 but we're foodies. That's what it's about. From a player's perspective, 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.200 you're obviously kind of looking early to get that momentum, 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:27.839 and then that bye week is key so you can 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.880 kind of get your body going and run. I say, 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.760 I don't think that. I don't think that. The only 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.880 thing that the players care about when it comes to 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.800 the bye week, I think is the proximity of when 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.240 it's gonna happen. I don't think they care whether it's 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.839 week eight, nine, ten, eleven, as long as it's somewhere 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.440 in the middle of the season of the season. If 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.000 it happens incredibly early, the players will be highly disappointed. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.239 And so that's the only thing that I think players 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.560 look at from that standpoint from the bye week, But 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.840 the players definitely look at the teams that they're gonna 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.200 play early in the schedule. As far as the momentum 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.520 building games that I talked about, they also look at 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.120 the cold weather games. Okay, late in the season. Are 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.120 you going to Green Bay in December? Are you going 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.840 to Buffalo in December. I'm just throwing out places that 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.200 typically can be very cold. Um, when you are a 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.240 northern climate team, you looked and saw like, for example, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.200 if you're playing the same division as the Miami Dolphins, 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.440 if you're the New York Jets, are you going to 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.800 see them at their place in December? Because Okay, you're 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.120 acclimated to the cold in December. You don't want to 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.680 go down and play in Miami in December. You'd rather 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:37.120 go to Miami in September because you're used to the 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.840 to the heat exactly. So I mean, from a from 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.440 a player standpoint, I think those are the things that 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.119 are in point also the division games where they fall 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.080 and we've seen now that the league has gone towards 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.000 having a lot of division games built up at the 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.480 back end of the schedule to make things obviously very 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.560 important when it comes to playoff implications. Now over the 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.600 at least the recent history last decade or so that 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.200 jack is really haven't had to worry about this, but 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.880 the prime time games. How many prime time games that 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.120 the last time that jack Bars were on Monday Night 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.760 football was twenty eleven. The last time they were on 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.560 Sunday Night football was two thousand and eight. It's been 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.960 a while. You have to perform well, obviously on the 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.120 field for a number of years to get that recognition, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.680 to get those eyeballs on you, and you know it's 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.800 gonna be tough to mean, they've had Thursday night games obviously, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.200 they rotate those around. Uh that could be expected a 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.600 game when you when you play for a team like 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.920 Jacksonville and you haven't been very good lately, you're hoping 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:39.280 that you may end up getting one national game besides 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.920 a typical Thursday game, because you know you're gonna have 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.280 a Thursday game. Everybody has to play Thursday game. And 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.880 so will that be the only national exposure or might 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.720 you get a Monday night game. The chances of getting 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.520 a Sunday night game for this football team are nil. 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.319 I mean, unless you're winning ten games late in the 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.679 year and they flex you in. You know, that's the 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.800 only way They're not gonna be on the schedule or 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.640 in the season. It's not gonna happen. And so they 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.600 were on the schedule, I think an eight team, but 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.520 they got the boot, got the boot. See you later. 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.440 But the expectation to even make a Monday night game, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.280 I think it would be I think maybe far exceeding 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.679 the expectations. I mean that this football team hasn't been 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.840 good and picked number one overall for the last two years. 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:27.840 So if anybody's expecting to have Monday night exposure, I mean, no, 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.280 that's not gonna happen. I think it would be shocking 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.200 if it happens now. Typically, and in the past, you've 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:39.600 seen some teams that played poor team on Monday Night 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.240 or viewed as a poor team on Monday night just 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:47.119 because it was you know, the other team was really good. Um, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.040 could that happen, maybe, but I don't expect it. I 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:54.640 don't expect it with this, especially because of the extended schedule. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.560 So now they Monday night has more opportunities to get 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.840 more matchup, better matchup, and I just I don't think 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.640 that will happen. Looks at you gotta start winning ball games, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.439 win to get to get the expectations of Okay, are 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.920 we going to have a national TV game? And and 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.160 it's not a matter of all or it's disrespect. No, 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.000 it's not disrespect. It's a matter of not playing well. Yeah, 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.000 you're not playing you're not playing good enough football, not 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.520 nearly good enough of You're catering to a national audience 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.480 at that point, and a team that's not winning is 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.480 not going to cater to that audience. That's how it works. Yeah, 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.839 So I don't know. I think it's gonna be interesting. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.680 And you know, you lose the the home game opportunity here, 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.280 the one that goes to London where you're playing the 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:41.600 Denver Broncos. So you still have, um, what's seven games left, 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.199 okay to be able to play here at home? Not 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:48.000 not eight seven seven because the one in London is 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.760 the eighth. So here are the seven opponents coming to 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.040 Jacksonville this year. That's already been out there obviously, so 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.960 the Titans, the Cults, the Texans, of course, the Raiders, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.480 the Giants, and the Ravens are coming to Jacksonville and 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.800 the Cowboys too. But which is Uh, the Cowboys are 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.200 gonna be a big draw, The Giants are gonna be 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:12.280 a big draw. Um, the Ravens I think will be 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.000 a big draw. When I say big draw from from 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.040 within the market and from from outside the market. As 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.640 far as selling tickets, the ones that I think that 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.520 are always going to be difficult are the ones that 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.760 are in the Division Tennessee in Indianapolis. So you you 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:31.199 hope that you get a favorable slot for those games 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:35.920 from a ticketing standpoint and just from a competitive standpoint. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.720 I mean, that's a tough home schedule. The Ravens are 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.240 pretty good football team. They just missed last year. Raiders 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.880 got in last year. The Cowboys are always knocking on 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.360 the door. I mean, the Titans are the Titans, you 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.120 know that. I mean that is that can be a 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.160 difficult run. And then the road schedule, you gotta go 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.079 to the other side of the a f C West. Also, 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.080 you're going to Kansas City, and I mean it is 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.520 and in l A, the Chargers, that whole division is 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.160 is on the schedule this year. It's well, it's going 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.920 to going to l A to play the Chargers. I 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.880 don't think it's not like it's We're not talking about 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.640 a hostile environment. It's just a good football football team 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:16.000 with a good quarterback that had some some great offseason 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.480 acquisitions and trades that they were able to make. So 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.319 I think it's gonna be a tough match up there. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.520 Kanas City, that's a hostile environment now, and that's Patrick 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:29.200 Mahomes uh uh Andy Reid. That's about us as if 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.200 somebody wanted to take and then just throwing us out there, 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.559 if there's a Jaguars fan that was sitting there going 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.160 you know what, I really would like to maybe once 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.440 the schedule comes out, take a good look at it 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.520 and and make a road trip for me out of 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.559 and read the road games off again real quick, okay, 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.000 which and with not the division ones, because Nashville is 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.560 always the place to go to within the division. Indianapolis 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.520 has got a good downtown. But if there's some fans 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.160 that are looking at maybe going to another game in 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.600 another market with the road games, So you mentioned Kansas City, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.360 and then the Jags are in Detroit as well. Not 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.199 a place to go to. It's indoors. You know, you 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.080 got that going for you. Um, it's about all this 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:18.520 going they got at the Jets. Um. I mean, first 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.840 of all, if you if you want to go to 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.839 the city, that's a great place. But you're not near 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.960 the city when you're at the stadium. Okay, you're still 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:29.880 a pretty pretty good jump away. Keep going. Washington, Um, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.920 Washington is out in the middle of nowhere Land, Maryland. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.679 You can stay in Baltimore, you can stay in d C. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.760 And so really, I mean it's it's I'm trying to 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.800 be serious here and that there are a lot of 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.120 fans that want to go to a great place to 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.000 see a great game and also to get maybe a 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.360 little bit of local flavor. Keep going. Let's see those 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.360 are the ones out of division. Okay, I'm gonna tell 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.160 you right now, the one at the top of my 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.000 list out of the division is Kansas City. Kans City 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.640 has got first of all, it's a great ironment, it's 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.640 a great stadium, it has a kans City is a 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.880 is a is a cool town, has lots of things 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.440 to to to choose from so out of all of 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.400 the non divisional road games, that would probably be at 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:18.440 the top of my list. Um, New York would be 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.520 up there just because it's New York. New York is great, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.720 but I mean in the division, Nashville is always king. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.800 If you're into d C and doing all that stuff, 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.360 the museums and things on Saturday, that might be cool. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:33.040 But again, the stadium is not. Literally you can it's 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.000 closer to fly out to Baltimore's airport to get to 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.800 the stadium. Yes, I mean it's it's literally if you 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.320 if you were to look at a map and you 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.720 look at Baltimore and d C and and go put 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.280 your finger right between the two of them, that's where 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.840 that stadium is at. And it's horrible traffic, just a 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:49.560 nightmare in and out of it. Yeah, I mean it's 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.720 it's yeah, it's not good. Now, I will tell you this, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.240 if if you were going to Baltimore, I would tell 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.000 you that that's a great place to go to. It's 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.720 got a lot of things to do in the city. 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.000 It's looks not my favorite city, but the stadium stadium, 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:08.000 right there's a great Yeah. But now, I mean Nashville, 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.320 I can tell you this. Nashville is an awesome city. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.480 It's a it's a great place to go to. It's 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.560 a great place to visit, music, music, roaw great restaurants, 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:20.080 great music, great entertainment. They've got the Colosseum downtown there 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:24.359 where they've got hockey and different events that are happening. Indianapolis, 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.480 I think is a good town as far as it's 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.560 it's everything is right there. When you go to Indianapolis. 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.680 You can take an uber from the airport to the 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.840 downtown and you don't have to do any ubers while 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.760 you're downtown. You can walk everywhere. You know. I don't 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.320 think I've had a bad time in Nashville. I've had 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.200 to believe that I've had a couple of bad mornings 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.360 in that show. Yeah, I think we all might have 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.280 at one point. Hey, we'll come back in a moment. 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:51.480 And Rookie Minicamp starts tomorrow. What to look for this 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.480 weekend Friday Saturday. Not open to the public, but we'll 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.400 get into some of the players and and some of 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.600 the rookies are beginning to sign their contracts today as well. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.800 That's Eggs are future focused and ready for a new 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.440 look in join us at the bank this season as 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.280 head coach Doug Peterson and quarterback Trevor Lawrence leave the charge. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.960 Lock in your seats. At Jaguars dot Com slash tickets, 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.360 we're called nine oh four six three three two thousand. 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.000 We are often running ita'st Jaguars Happy Hour on the 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:23.760 Jaguars Digital Network, Jacksonville Sports Talk for Jacksonville sports fans 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:33.080 ten ten XL, home of the Checksonville Jaguars. There are 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.000 two really good players there in both Trayvon and Aid 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.960 and at the at the top of our our draft board. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.240 And and and you know, if let me let me 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.720 just go back a little bit. You know, obviously Cam Robinson, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.480 you know, our left tackle, we were able to get 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.240 his contract done, you know, prior to the draft and 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.560 keep him here. I think I think, you know, sky's 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.360 a limit with him. So solidifying our offensive line that 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:00.160 way really, um really kind of helped to in the 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.920 decisions we made in the draft. And and then we 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:08.080 look at these two players and both are high character guys, 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.680 both would be great in our room, in our locker room, 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.000 good leaders, um, you know. And for us, it was 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:19.000 it was just the potential, the upside, the things that 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:23.240 we saw and you know, as you know, Rich, I mean, 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.119 as coaches, we were prevvy to a lot of a 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.359 lot of film and a lot of conversations that a 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.000 lot of people don't get right, and a lot of 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.600 information and part of our job is to gain that information. 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:38.000 And and we just felt at the time that and 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.320 even sitting here today that you know, the best for 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:46.200 our organization was Trayvon Walker. Let's head coach Doug Peterson 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:50.920 on the Rich Eyes and Show yesterday syndicated nationally also 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.480 on the Peacock Network. Our courtesy to them and welcome backs, 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.119 Jaguars Happy our j P. Shadrick with Jeff Logaman, Joe Fortunado, 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:02.800 br Reaver and the Jaguars have rookie Minicamp coming up 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.760 starting tomorrow. And that that was the conversation, why did 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.520 you pick Trayvon Walker over Aiden Hutchinson. Rich Eysens, a 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.840 noted Michigan alumnus. That's why he had a little vested 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.040 interest in the in the question there. So that was 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.520 the answer. Little upside and reports today that Trayvon Walker 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.640 has come to it that they've come to the agreement 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:27.400 to sign his rookie contract slotted anyway, but Apparently that's 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.320 going to happen officially a little later today. A lot 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.120 of money, a lot of guaranteed money, as you would 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.400 expect from the first overall picking the draft. And I'm 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:39.560 looking forward to watching him in the rookie minicamp. Yeah, 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:40.760 what do you want to see out of him like 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.399 this weekend? It's not like the old days when Dante 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.199 Fowler's year really changed everything when he went down with 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:51.879 the knee issue and they're running like Lebanon cl Come, 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.720 it was that's pretty significant. A knee issue is like 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:56.560 a little tweet. It was not that he tore his 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.320 a c l so um, but that was they had 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.280 try out guys, they're running a love it on eleven 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.960 and you know, it got toned down a little bit 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.560 for at least in my view, since that time, as 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.479 it should be. I mean, I think I think Roland 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:14.719 rookies up in here and uh and expecting and wanting 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.639 them to go completely full speed and wide open is 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:23.320 insanity for two reasons. One, the players need to acclimate 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:28.720 to what your expectations are as coaches. Okay, these rookies 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:33.040 have been preparing for the draft. They haven't been preparing 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:37.960 for football practice. In the National Football League. Okay, they've 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:44.639 been doing the handshake and kiss babies tour since the draft, okay, celebrating. Okay, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.080 So I think you've got to have I think a 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.720 lot of common sense with the way you approach a 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:54.920 rookie minicamp and that you're trying to assimilate these young 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.719 players into their into your system and to teach them 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:03.639 what the expectation ins are not immediately say physically you 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:08.600 need to show us right now, that's crazy, um. And 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.679 then the other reason you have rookies that are drafted 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:17.880 that you have huge investments in. Okay, Travon's gotta what's 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:24.639 the guaranteed money signing bonus? Thirty seven million dollar total contract, 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:28.639 but I think it's twenty four is guaranteed, full guarantee, guaranteed, 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:32.800 fully guaranteed contract, ton of upbrunket money. Okay. So you're 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.840 bringing in the draft picks with you know, Muma and 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.080 Lloyd and all the other guys, Connor, and then you're 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.879 also bringing in a lot of rookies on a tryout basis, 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.960 so okay, so you have to be a little bit 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.240 smart there too, and that Okay, you've got a section 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.520 of rookies that are trying to make an impression. They're drafted, 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.159 they know that they're gonna have an opportunity to earn 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.199 the ability to be on this team. There's another segment 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.720 of rookies that are have a little bit of a 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.920 window and that they're given an opportunity to show what 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.600 they can do over these couple of days. So do 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.240 you want to have that group that's trying to impress 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.920 right now go on a hundred miles an hour with 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:17.840 this group over here that's trying to impress, but then 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:20.560 also knows that they're gonna be here for training camp. 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:23.960 I don't want to have the two of these groups 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.440 kind of mixing together, you know what I mean, Because 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.359 sometimes you have guys that are a little out of 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:34.280 control from the group that doesn't have a contract, that's 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.919 here on a tryout basis show something that's trying to 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:40.360 show something in a limited window. And I totally appreciate 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.560 that and respect that, but you've gotta be careful. You 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:47.520 have to limit I think the number of group drills 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.639 that you do. You do more of the individual work, 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.480 and it's a lot of classroom stuff to see how 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:58.919
