1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: This is the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review Podcasts presented by

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: TIAA Bank. I'm JP Shadwick with the best of the

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: week from Jaggs Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and our social

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: channels Jaguars Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. It's Friday, April twenty first,

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: and we're one week less than one week now to

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. Plenty of pre draft talk coming up,

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: but it was also week one of the offseason program

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: for the veterans, and we heard from three Jaguars players

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: at the podium speaking with the media earlier this week,

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: including quarterback Trevor Lawrence. On the Huddle Up Podcast Wednesday afternoon,

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, John Oser and I recapped the comments from

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: the third year signal caller. There are some expectations from

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: outside the building, Bucky, but you know Trevor said it.

14
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: We'll hear from them coming up. You know, they can't

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: worry about the outside expectations. It's about carrying what they

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: did and moving on and getting better week to week.

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: Yes, that's always about that. It has to be an

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: emphasis on the Jacks. It can't be about anybody else.

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: This offseason has to be about finding a way to

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: be better than they were last year, the last time

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: we saw them, and even though we can express satisfact

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: in the fact that they made the postseason they won

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: the division, still a lot of room to improve, and

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: so this year the bar will be raised. I think

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson and company will certainly raise the bar because

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: this team has big time potential and so now it's

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: about pushing them to see if they can realize that

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: potential next season.

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence on the expectations from the outside and turning

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: them off.

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: Last year didn't in the way we wanted it to.

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: So it's you know, obviously it was a good year

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: for our team, for the city fits organization, but there's

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 3: more out there. I think we've set a new standard

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: of you know, who we're going to be, the team

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: we're going to be, and we got to start that

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: way this year, and so that's the mindset. I think

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: we don't really think about those expectations much because all

39
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: we can do is just try to keep getting better,

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: and we know for us, we feel like that's the floor.

41
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: So I mean, that's really the only expectations we think

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: of that for ourselves. But I just don't think it's

43
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: good to pay attention to that stuff.

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: More from the quarterback Trevor Lawrence earlier on Wednesday, and

45
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: for the first time in his NFL career, he's not

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: having to learn a brand new offense this offseason.

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: There's some I guess comfort in knowing that I already

48
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: know the system, and our guys, our core group of

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: guys already know obviously, you know, you get Calvin and

50
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: some guys up front, and then you know some some

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: new running backs all that that need to get up

52
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: to speed. But that'll happen, and we have so much

53
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: time to do it. I think it was nice this

54
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: off season being able to focus, you know, a little

55
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: bit more just on the physical side of you know,

56
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: training and get my body right, especially after a long year,

57
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: you know, with some just lingering, you know, maybe injuries,

58
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: little stuff from the season. So had a chance to

59
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: take a little break, help some of that heel up

60
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: and then really just you know, work on my body

61
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: and obviously prepping and there's things, you know, you watch

62
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: tape and you figure out some of the weaknesses from

63
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: last year individually as an offense, some of the strengths,

64
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: so you kind of figure out the stuff that you

65
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: want to work on. I was able to focus more

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: on that than already got a whole new system I

67
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: have to learn and I don't really you know, have

68
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: to kind of start from scratch. So it was nice

69
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: having that comfort and knowing, you know, I know the

70
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: system and that's not an opswallman to have to really

71
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: face this year. But now it's just how do we

72
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: take that next step, you know, for myself and for the.

73
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: Offense, Bucky, He's said a keyword there. Comfort. That's a

74
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: big step in the right direction. When you can just

75
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: walk into a place now you have that comfort level

76
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: and you can build upon things offensively.

77
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, comfort is everything, and so being in the same

78
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: offense back to back years will certainly help him. The

79
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: familiarity in terms of the language, the familiarity with the

80
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: players around him and even the coaching staff that should

81
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: allow him to play better. And then the big thing

82
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: is nat that Doug Peterson knows exactly who he's working with,

83
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: what the strengths and weaknesses are. You now can begin

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: to expand the offense, making sure that you accinuate the stremps,

85
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: you minimize the weaknesses, and you always put number.

86
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: Sixteen in a position to succeed.

87
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: This should be a lot of fun to continue to

88
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: see how they kind of push the envelope over the

89
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: course of the off season until we have an opportunity

90
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: to watch the final product in September.

91
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: It doesn't grab headlines JP because we don't have proof.

92
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: But when you ask me, where can they improve the

93
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: most as a football team in the off season, meaning

94
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: you talk about the draft, you talk about free agency,

95
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: you talk about Cummington goings, Jwan Taylor leaving other people

96
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: coming that improvement, the ability for this offense to go

97
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 4: from what they were to keep improving under Trevor, or

98
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: under Trevor and Doug. That's where they're going to make

99
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: their biggest improvement. If this offense improves like you think

100
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: it should. The addition to Ridley will help, but Lawrence's

101
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: growth him going from a year two quarterback to a

102
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: year three. They weren't that far from being super Bowl

103
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 4: champions last year. Trevor Lawrence taking a jump, being consistent,

104
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 4: one more series of game, six more points a game.

105
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: That's where they're really going to get better. The other

106
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: stuff beyond the quarter position on this team. It's nice.

107
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: You have to support it.

108
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: He's the story The Huddle Up Podcast, available now in

109
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: the Official Jaguars Podcast Network and Jaguars dot Com. It

110
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: runs each Wednesday. Let's move down to wide receiver Calvin Ridley.

111
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: He visited with the Jacksonville Media for the first time

112
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: since his reinstatement by the NFL, and he's very confident

113
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: in his ability to return to form after nearly two

114
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: full seasons away from football.

115
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 5: Man, if I'm being real, I'm being honest. It's like

116
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 5: I've been good at football all my life, not to

117
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: be I'm trying to be humble.

118
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 6: You know.

119
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 5: Like I said, I've been pretty good at football all

120
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: my life. And I not only been good, I also

121
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: worked to be good. And you know, they say two

122
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 5: years off, But what about the healing process that I

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 5: got to be with that time off?

124
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: What about what if I got faster? What if I

125
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: got stronger?

126
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: Obviously I got wiser.

127
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: Why can't I be better? So I kind of look

128
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: at it like that.

129
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 5: Obviously, you know, two years off, I gotta go through

130
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 5: the tightness, the leg tightness, to go through all the crap.

131
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 5: But I mean, I see myself being a good player.

132
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: I do.

133
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: In an article he wrote for The Players Tribune, he

134
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: talked about being a fourteen hundred yard receiver, and he

135
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: explained that mindset again Wednesday.

136
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 5: I am a fourteen hundred yard type of player. Guy

137
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 5: is gonna determine what type of stats I.

138
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Am gonna have.

139
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: And you know, football is not just you know, football

140
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 5: is serious. I mean, you don't just play seventeen games

141
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: straight and think you're gonna be in every one of

142
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 5: them and playing healthy in all of them. So what

143
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 5: I'm saying is, I am a fourteen hundred yard receiver.

144
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: Would have broke foot, you know what I'm saying. That's

145
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

146
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 5: So I know that I can make the plays and

147
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 5: I know that I'm one of the better receivers in

148
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 5: this league.

149
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Finally, at the podium, defensive Captain

150
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Foyer ya Luakan, the Jaguars linebacker who led the league

151
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: in tackles last season, but he still has plenty of

152
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: adjustments to make entering year two in the Jags defensive scheme.

153
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 7: It's really understanding the ski, understanding my teammates next to me,

154
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 7: and then we can all communicate together. So it's not

155
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 7: you know, I've been in the league a long time

156
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 7: it's not me communicating what I'm seeing, what I'm anticipating,

157
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 7: This kind of bouncing ideas off each other before the play,

199
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: pre drafts media luncheon Thursday at the bank and new

200
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: team reporter Kay Stevens and I recap some of the

201
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: highlights on Jaguars Happy Hour Radio Thursday afternoon. Today though

202
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: the annual pre draft media luncheon, Trent Balke and Doug

203
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: Peterson speaking with the media, but they didn't really say

204
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: a whole lot at all. It's a tradition really unlike

205
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: any other, but bulky on the balance of value versus

206
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: need in the draft, especially in round one.

207
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 6: You're still setting the board based on value and then

208
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 6: once it's placed. Once you've got the board set on value,

209
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 6: then you start looking at the needs. You don't want

210
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 6: to push players up the board value wise just because

211
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 6: you have a need at that position. But we'll you know,

212
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 6: I've been doing this a while now, and most of.

213
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: The time the value in need come together.

214
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 6: You know, very few times if I looked at the

215
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 6: board and said, well, there's just no value at the

216
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 6: position of need that we have. You know, sometimes it's

217
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 6: a little it might be a card off, but it's

218
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 6: still close enough where you can address the need.

219
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: And he went on to say, kind a little later,

220
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, later in the draft, you might be able

221
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: to push up a little further on need. Hey, we

222
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: really kind of need an extra player at this position.

223
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Let's go get this guy in the fifth, sixth, seventh round.

224
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: But early, Hey, it is a balance and usually it

225
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: does come together. He's been at this, as he said,

226
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: for a long time, long time GM in San Francisco,

227
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: so he understands how a board can fall and you

228
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: just have to be patient at twenty four too. That's

229
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: the other trick of this thing.

230
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 9: And it's a little bit different for him, right because

231
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 9: this is the fourth draft that he's had. But you know,

232
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 9: you're not at the top of the list this time

233
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 9: because you guys had such a great season last year,

234
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 9: so picking up this position, obviously, these are the meat,

235
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 9: and you know that's the meat of your roster, right

236
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 9: these mid round guys, not necessarily late first round. But

237
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 9: I'm curious to see which way they go with it. Obviously,

238
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 9: there's still the option that you might trade back and

239
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 9: get a couple more picks out of it, and he's

240
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 9: not going to tell us, of course, so we can

241
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 9: just hypothesize about that all day.

242
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, he's not scared to pull the trigger on

243
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: a trade on draft day. He's done that throughout his career,

244
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: both in San Francisco and and Jacksonville. Well, he also

245
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: mentioned today that there is a pretty specific number of

246
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: players they are truly considering in this draft. A little

247
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: bit of a surprise from Bulky.

248
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 6: You know, we have a specific way we set up

249
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 6: the board. So well it sounds like one hundred and

250
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 6: twenty seven, there's there's more numbers baked in there. Those

251
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 6: are the one hundred and twenty seven that we really

252
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 6: feel fit the culture we want and fit the value

253
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 6: that we have placed on him, and really, you know,

254
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: all the stars aligned. There's other there's other fallbacks that

255
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 6: we would go to, but really we're picking from one

256
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 6: to twenty seven.

257
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: And those are, as he said, perfect prospects in their eyes, right,

258
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: players on the field tape numbers to go with that

259
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: culture fits. Those are the perfect prospects that you really want.

260
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: And what there's how many picks. There are two hundred

261
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: and late two hundreds picks one hundred and twenty seven.

262
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: They're truly considering interesting.

263
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 9: It's mind boggling when you actually think about it, because

264
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 9: you've got to be like, how have you seen that

265
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 9: many players and actually like know or think that they

266
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 9: would fit in. Well, but I guess I mean a

267
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 9: lot of it's guests work when you get into the

268
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 9: later rounds. Of course, in terms of the top talent,

269
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 9: these guys are so talented, right, so it feels like

270
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 9: I can't miss and obviously there are misses, but the

271
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 9: talent in the first couple of rounds, it's just you know,

272
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 9: picking which one you.

273
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: Want, Yeah, and you know. And then he was asked

274
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: about this too. Doug Peterson was asked about this, and

275
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: at the end there Bulky was talking about, Hey, you know,

276
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: there are some other things we can go to if

277
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: one of the guys doesn't follow in those one twenty seven.

278
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: Do they fit in the culture of the locker room? Well,

279
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson wants asked about that if for some reason

280
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: there's something missing there. The locker room kind of handles

281
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: it themselves.

282
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 10: Our scouts do an outstanding job of of you know,

283
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 10: spending time with players and family members and as Trent say,

284
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 10: coaches and anybody we can talk to to get answers

285
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 10: on on on players and and so we feel like

286
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 10: the ones that are on the board are all great

287
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 10: fits for us, you know, and and again, but our

288
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 10: locker room can absorb that. And and you know, they

289
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 10: either buy in or they won't be here.

290
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: That's that's that's a fact that's for sure. In this

291
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: locker room is fantastic. Obviously, the last couple of years

292
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: of free agency, some veteran players drafted guys who've come

293
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: in to lead the way. So you better fit in

294
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: or if you don't, you will quickly and if not,

295
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: you're out of here in a hurry too.

296
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 9: Trent said the same thing, right, He was like, there's

297
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 9: tons of people that are talented, but they're just not

298
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 9: going to fit in here. And that's really important to

299
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 9: them obviously what they've been able to do in just

300
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 9: one season since Doug's been here, and they returned a

301
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 9: lot of that. So you'll have that set up ready

302
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 9: to go for whoever the rookies end up being. And

303
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 9: since it's like a strong core that's returning that is

304
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 9: not going to let anybody mess with the culture. They

305
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 9: should be pretty much set.

306
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy. Our radio airs Thursday at four o'clock on

00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,680

309
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: with NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah. He was an area

310
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: scout for three different NFL teams in his career and

311
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: now has been a longtime analyst with NFL Network. He

312
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: took over the lead draft analyst role when Mike Mayock

313
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: took the Raiders GM job some years ago. Jeremiah and

314
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: I talked through some options for the Jaguars at number

315
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: twenty four. Overall, it's a much different place to be

316
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: in the first round than at number one, of course,

317
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: like the last two years, but the approach to the

318
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: preparation doesn't change too much.

319
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 11: I think it's not as different as maybe people would think.

320
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously one to one is different. I mean

321
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 11: that's a different deal. But the difference between picking ten

322
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 11: and picking in the mid twenties, I don't think is

323
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 11: that great in a year like this one specifically, but

324
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 11: also you know, usually you know who's going to go,

325
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 11: you know, in those top picks, you know, those names

326
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 11: that are going to be gone at that point in time,

327
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 11: and I'm sure you know, the Jags can eliminate probably

328
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 11: eight to ten guys that they're fairly certain they are

329
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 11: going to be gone, and they can narrow their focus

330
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 11: for that first round pick on ten to fifteen names.

331
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 11: So you know whether or not they were picking ten

332
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 11: or picking in the mid twenties, you know, I think

333
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 11: the preparations is very similar, and they've probably locked in

334
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 11: and at this point in time, I'm sure they know

335
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 11: exactly what they're doing, but they probably narrowed that down

336
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 11: to three or four guys. They feel pretty good about

337
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 11: getting one of them, and maybe there's somebody that's within,

338
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 11: you know, within their culture and their belief system that

339
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 11: they're high enough on that they would even consider maybe

340
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 11: trying to move up a little bit to get.

341
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: Daniels Jeremiah with us. And we know Trent Balkey's history,

342
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: he's not afraid to move around in drafts that he

343
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: has controlled, both in San Francisco and of course now

344
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville with the Jaguars. Three drafts in his two

345
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: drafts in control, here a bunch of those in San Francisco,

346
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: of course, but you know they've got the draft equity

347
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: to do some moving. There's three six round picks. I

348
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: don't know how much that can equate for a first

349
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: round move though, right.

350
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, it's it's an interesting draft. It just kind

351
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 11: of depends on what you're targeting, and you can find

352
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 11: the ammunition being in this year's haul or next year's group.

353
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 11: If you want to find the picks to move up.

354
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 11: You know he's got the ammunition to go ahead and

355
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 11: get that accomplished. So to me, the only position that

356
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 11: would make sense probably on a move up, it would

357
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 11: be the tackle position, or you know, if they're looking

358
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 11: offensive line, that would be an area you could look to.

359
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 11: But outside of that, I mean, you know, corners there's depth,

360
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 11: edgdreshers there's depth. You know, there's a lot of different

361
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 11: areas they could go just sitting and picking where they are.

362
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: DJ. Let's get into some of these position groups, and

363
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned the offensive line. Let's start off with the

364
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: idea of tackle. Of course, Juwan Taylor is in Kansas

365
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: City and left in free agency, so you know they've

366
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: got Walker Little who can play there. Cam Robinson's on

367
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: the left side. They just got Josh Wells as the

368
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: swing tackle. He's an older player now, so that could

369
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: be a position of need down the line here for

370
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: this team. So you know, at twenty four or if

371
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: they move up, a guy like Darnell Right of Tennessee,

372
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: is he a guy you could see that deep Well, yeah, I.

373
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 11: Don't think he'll get there. He's a really good player

374
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 11: on tape this year specifically, you know, look at him

375
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 11: the year before, he was a little up and down.

376
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 11: This year was very consistent start to finish. I mean

377
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 11: that to me, is going to come down to their

378
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 11: belief in Walker Little and how high they are inside

379
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 11: the building there of what he's going to continue to

380
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 11: grow into and be as he's given that opportunity. But

381
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 11: I think this draft is unique in that we've got

382
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 11: some kind of some guys that have some inside outside

383
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 11: versatility and flexibility. You know, if you're asking me, they

384
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 11: always look at these different scenarios and say, Okay, who's

385
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 11: like a wild card player that nobody's talking about that

386
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 11: you could see sneak into the first round. Matthew bergeron

387
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 11: to me is an interesting one. Somebody who can play

388
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 11: tackle can play guard. I know, teams are trying to

389
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 11: find that flexibility. Now when you deal with the seventeen

390
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 11: game season, you're going to have guys in and out

391
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 11: of the lineup. You know, to have guys that can

392
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 11: you know, play inside, can play outside. Man, there's a

393
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 11: lot of value there at this point in time. So

394
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 11: you know, I go through the jags and look at

395
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 11: you know, where the priority would be. I still think

396
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 11: corner is going to be sky high. You know, you

397
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 11: look at defensive tackles, somebody in an area they could address,

398
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 11: and then you know, looking at you know, adding continue

399
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 11: to add more and more weapons that I think all

400
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 11: these teams in the AFC, and you saw it, you

401
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 11: saw it up close last year in the playoffs, like

402
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 11: you can't have enough firepower when you've got the kind

403
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 11: of the the Patrick Mahomes, the ghost of Patrick Mahomes

404
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 11: out there knowing what it's going to take to knock

405
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 11: them off on the postseason. If you've got a really

406
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 11: good offense, you still want more.

407
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: Everybody's aiming for thirty points per game. That's what it's

408
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: going to take. That that was the league high of

409
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: course last season. Daniel Jeremiah with us NFL Network, let's

410
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 1: touch on some of those corners. Now though I know

411
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned firepower, but this is a group in Jacksonville

412
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't have shat Griffin anymore. He was banged up

413
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: last season. Now he's gone. Darius Williams good player, thirty

414
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: years of age though now and moved outside towards the

415
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: end of the season. Played a little better there. We'll

416
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: see what his future in the long term. Holes and

417
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: they love Tyson Campbell. So the last mack I think

418
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: you had. I know there's so many mocks out there, DJ,

419
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: but the last one you had, I think had Deontay

420
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: Banks from Maryland to the Jaguars. What kind of player

421
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: is he and what else could be in play there

422
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: for a cornerback?

423
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean Banks is highweight, speed, he's big, he's physical,

424
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 11: He's some way that can play in a variety techniques.

425
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 11: You want to let him get up in your face,

426
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 11: he can do that. He can play press man. He's

427
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 11: pretty fluid and smooth and off coverage. So he's a really,

428
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 11: really good football player. And I think that's about the

429
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 11: range of where he goes. I think he ends up

430
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 11: going in the twenties when it's all said and done.

431
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 11: Emmanuel Forbes is kind of a wildcard just because of

432
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 11: the size. His tape is outstanding come out of Mississippi State,

433
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 11: So you know, you look what he can bring from

434
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 11: a playmaking standpoint, and he's got six career pick sixes.

435
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 11: Has been talked about a bunch, but this guy's good

436
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,239
Speaker 11: at playmaking a corner, as we've seen. So if you're

437
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 11: at Jacksonville, you anticipate this offense being dynamic and being explosive,

438
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 11: and you know you want to play with the lead.

439
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 11: Somebody that can go get football. Forbes would probably even

440
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 11: be a better fit from that standpoint if you're going

441
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 11: to compare those two guys really really good football players,

442
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 11: but I actually really like to fit with Forbes there

443
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 11: as well.

444
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,320
