We'll hear from NFL network 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.399 analysts Charles Davis and Charlie Castlely and get their thoughts 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.400 in some of the position groups in the draft this year. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.760 And Jack's analyst Jeff Lockman wraps up the show with 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.720 us a little bit later today. Dave called Well and 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:51.000 Doug marrone on a conference call today. Dave called Well, 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.840 with twelve draft picks this year, to work with picks, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.080 very it's huge, man, And you know this is the 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.120 most draft capital we had here and and we need 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.080 to hit on all twelve. And that's our and that's 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.640 our philosophy and in our processes that we want to 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.840 make every one of them count. And if if we 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.680 could use one of those to go maybe trade up 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.720 and get a guy that that we want in the 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.720 select round, we'll do that too. And and you never know, 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.400 we may we may acquire some more throughout the draft. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.680 Well here from head coach Doug Marone coming up. We 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.000 go to the phone line now and welcome and Jaguars 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.720 dot Com senior writer John Osier, who was on that 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:31.240 call today as well. John, Good afternoon, How are you good? 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.520 How are we Well? We're here, which is good and 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.280 uh we we've had a lot of Jaguars news today, 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.000 which is also good. When when the head coach and 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.200 the general manager get on a pre draft conference call, 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.960 video chat, whatever you want to call it, that's always news. Now. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.040 I don't know if Dave really said anything there. He 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.919 said he has twelve picks. They couldn't move. They could 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.040 not There was anything definitive there, but that's kind of 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.200 how it works these days leading up to a draft. Well, 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.320 you never expect any breaking news from the pre draft 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.480 call or the luncheon. Did you get your pizza? By 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:13.440 the way, j p PR staff s pizzas to everybody 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.000 on the call, including John and I apparently, yeah, that 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:21.600 made it official. So um, I don't think anybody expected 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.080 Dave to say, hey, we're trading up. I mean not, 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.200 what do you say going into the draft. It was interesting. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.600 He was asked late in the show by Stamp or 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.240 a late in the conference by stam Qvars, how many 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.560 guys do you have that you absolutely wouldn't trade to 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.520 pick four? Which you know, I means how many guys 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.880 like Josh Allen or Jalen Ramsey deal love in this thing? 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.520 And he said four, which I think is you know 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.760 you would think and I'm putting words in his mouth, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:53.240 but you know, Brown Simmons, a Kuda, uh, guys like 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:58.400 that probably in that range, maybe a quarterback who knows uh. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.720 I thought it was most interesting about what Dave said 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.560 was the tone of his response when he was asked 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.880 how key is this and he was asking the nature 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.120 of the rebuild. Dave doesn't use the word rebuild at 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.040 this thing, but he said it's huge. They've got twelve 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.080 pick they need to hit on him. You're not gonna 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.719 hit on all twelve. But it was clear I thought 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:23.320 in days answer j P that he understands how important 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.320 it is they have traded away veteran to get twelve picked. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.000 Here you're putting a lot of cards on the table 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.760 with his draft, and he understands the importance of it. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.000 So if if twelve guys show up here and then 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.200 we've talked about this before that a lot of those guys, 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.160 if not all of them, you feel like would make 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.240 the team because of the roster or the salary cap 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.719 situation or all that. That's a lot of youth running 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.479 around the field compared to some veteran players or here before. 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.719 So that's a risky proposition. Well, it is, and you 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.400 know it's it's gonna put a huge emphasis on leadership 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.279 from young guys like Josh Allen, John Taylor Gardner Minshew, 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.159 you're turning the keys over to the franchise to a 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:08.800 young bunch, and you know that's scary. It didn't necessarily 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.400 work out great when they did that in thirteen and fourteen, 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.760 but I don't think there was the talent base back 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.800 then that there's gonna be with this bunch. Um. It's 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.080 been interesting every time Doug talked about this team, Doug Morone, 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:26.040 and he did again today. He's talked about being excited 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.400 about this group for a number of reasons. He talked 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.520 about the culture. He talked about having a bunch of 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.400 guys that you're not dealing with the distractions of recent years. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.640 You know clearly they're taking the approach this is gonna 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.760 be a young team, a fun team, a talented team 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.000 that probably didn't have a whole lot of expectations. Uh, 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.599 but it's gonna be a case of, hey, let's go out, 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.960 let's not worry about off field stuff. Let's not worry 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.960 maybe about personal things, individual things. Let's go have fun 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.240 playing football. Uh. That's clearly Doug approach. And I guess 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.720 we'll see if that works. Jaguars dot Com senior writer 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.840 John Os, you're joining us on the phone. This is 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.520 Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday afternoon. Glad you're along 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.000 with us today. Let's hear from head coach Doug Maron. Now. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.520 A big topic of conversation and starting to get a 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.800 little rumbling in some of these mock drafts is the 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:24.320 quarterback position. And he was asked today head coach Doug 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:28.320 Maron was what his position is on Gardner? Minshew, and 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.440 do they want to back it up? We evaluate everyone 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.440 in so we evaluated, you know, the quarterback position, just 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.839 like we evaluated to Van running back radition, everything you know. 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.400 And I think a lot of times you look out 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.560 there and you know, right now you know this this question. 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.400 I hope you already gets tripe right now. If we 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.560 want to play garden menshos our guy, and I'm excited 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:54.160 about that. But do I want competition for him? Absolutely? 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.000 You want competition for everyone, though you know, I don't 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.120 want to make it where you know, I'm answering this 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.440 question and Maron is not a confident or Maroon wants competition. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.960 I want, you know, just for the quarterback. I want 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.159 competition for everyone. The one thing about Gardner that you know, 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.520 he has shown some good things last year. You know 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.480 we did win obviously a six games with him. Uh, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.720 he's the guy right now is working his ass off 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.720 still again, you know how we're working on getting a 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.920 better football team. Like Dave said, if we bring someone 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.960 in or you know, the other thing is they bring 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.200 some people in around that can help that position at quarterback. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.120 Interesting stuff there from the head coach and in the 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.120 same kind of idea. It's not like he's gonna show 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.520 you everything, but they do like what he brought to 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.480 the table last year. They like his work ethic this offseason, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.040 and then time will tell what happens. If there's a 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.200 you know, if there's somebody that shows up in on 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.840 draft night that you have to go get, you have 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.400 to go get him. Well, I think a lot of 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.520 fans don't necesarily want to hear this. But you know, 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:58.960 Menshu is not the guy yet, meaning capital T, capital G. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.600 And he showed enough to give you to make you 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.360 hope that he is. He showed enough things to make 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.440 you think that maybe he is. But you know, the 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.680 franchise right now is not ready to on April six, 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:14.960 give him the keys to the car and say, hey, 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.440 let's go. Uh. I think there is a situation where 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.480 they still he's a young player. And even if they 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.520 do feel that way, which maybe they do, they don't 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.240 want to publicly say it yet. They don't want to 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:30.160 tell Gardener, hey you're the man. Uh No, let's keep working, 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.800 Let's keep taking the approach if he's got to earn it. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.559 And I think most importantly right now, JP, don't tip 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.280 your hand going into the draft. Hey, there's no way 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.520 we're not taking a quarterback at number nine. You know, 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.640 because if you're sitting there at number nine and there's 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.199 a quarterback on the table and and teams want to 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.360 trade up for him, you want to make sure that 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:54.880 teams know that you're not necessarily not gonna take one 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.200 if you will. So I think there's a lot of 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.600 reasons for not saying that yet. Main I think that 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.440 they don't want to necessarily, they want to make Gardners 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.480 still earn what they hope he can earn. John Ozan 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.600 with US Jaguars dot Com Senior writer, nothing new on 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.520 the Unique and got Way front. That was going to 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.319 be a question that you knew was coming from somebody, 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.920 and Dave Caldwell has pretty much said all he's gonna 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.319 say about until something else happens. It feels like, well, 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.200 they've taken the approach. Unique is going to say what 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.280 he's gonna say on Twitter, and I think that's his right. Uh, 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.840 they understand that he's unhappy. They understand that he's gonna 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.960 stay thaying. The organization from the time last season ended 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.800 and really from the start of all this and said, hey, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.760 we want him, we wanted to play for us. But 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.040 they're not going to get into announcing their feelings about 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.120 the whole situation on Twitter. They're not going to respond 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.680 to what he said. Uh, you know, that's really a 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.360 spot where the player says what he's gonna say. I 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.680 wasn't surprised Dave took that approach. I think they'd still 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.960 like to have him next year. Uh, and if they 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.560 get something to blows them out of the water, they 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.640 would trade them. But I don't think that that's there. Uh. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.720 I don't think that that's their want. And they're certainly 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.520 not gonna come out to day and say we're cutting ties. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.720 That's not the way they feel. John. I know you've 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.199 you've covered this over and over again after the press 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.880 conference today, and you've got both your stories available now 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:21.120 on Jaguars dot com. And what do you got up tomorrow? 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.920 What's coming up the next day or two from you? 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:28.240 Wouldn't you like to know? Jake Noyes, Actually, I'm not 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:33.000 gonna tip my hand either. No tomorrow. It kind of 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.680 parsed through a lot of what Doug said about the 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.920 off season program. I think it's interesting how the virtual 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.680 off season programs a lot of people know, much like 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.440 the draft is virtual, it's gonna be virtual for the players. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.880 It's an important time, meaning Jay Gruden's got to get 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.079 his offense to these guys and how they're going to 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.520 go about doing that. I think the big thing to 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.760 know about the off season program the communication between coordinator 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.719 and quarterback. It's really going to be the key, and 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:01.880 I can't imagine that there's not gonna be a lot 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.680 of conversation between those two elements, but overall they're gonna 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.840 get the information. They're gonna get the guys in the cloud. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.560 It's gonna be up to players to consume that information 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.000 and be ready for when they come back.

Welcome Back 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.920 Jaguars Happy Hour, Busy Show. Our thanks to John Ozer, 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.000 Jaguars dot com senior writer for joining us. The entire 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.240 Dave Calledwell Doug Marone video conference is available on the 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.080 team website as well. You'll catch John's riding there as well. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.680 It's now time to catch up with Pride of the 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.520 Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. He's our co host on 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.320 Jaguars postgame radio as well. Always good to catch up 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.680 with Freddy t down in South Florida. They're hanging at 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:01.240 the house he and the his why life and all 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.640 the kids running around. I think there's seven people in 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.480 the house. So food has been a little bit of 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.800 an issue with growing children eating all the food and 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.760 not keeping notes. They're trying to keep everything straight down there. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.440 But all well so far. In the Fred Taylor household 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.880 down South. We talked about plenty of things here, including 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.320 what the Jaguars have done in this offseason and what 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.680 they could be doing a week from right now. Mr Taylor, 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.920 how you holding up, sir? I'm good man, I'm good. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.760 Just um, just trying to stay positive, you know, trying 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:38.520 to stay patient. Unlike everybody you see on social media, 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:43.080 everybody's started, you know, frantic, and they're panicking in their 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.520 own right. You know, every everybody's talking about not staying 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.520 at light all right, you know, frustrated by being at home. 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.320 You know, I think this is a time, you know, 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.000 you gotta you know, just a dig deep, you know, 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:59.359 discover something new about yourself and just adapt the best 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.119 that you can. And I think more importantly, uh, just 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.320 do your part. You know. It's Uh, we talked about 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.920 the country, you know, then you talk about community, but yourself, 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.560 as the individual, you're the foundation to that all I think, Uh, 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.960 me personally, I've just been trying to help where I 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.720 can't help. But I'm good, man, I'm good. I'm trying 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.720 to keep Eyeland things. You know. Uh, it's bad enough 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.960 as it is. I don't always jump into you know, sport. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.439 I started run away from everything. But now give me 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.159 a little bit more of an opportunity to try to 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.600 dig in a little bit and keep my eye open 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.960 on things that's going on. Fred, let's talk a little football. 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.359 It's been a little bit since we've been able to 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.240 catch up with you, and there's been a lot that's 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.800 happened for the Jaguars over this off season. Some big 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:51.800 games have moved on in Calis Campbell traded away to Baltimore. 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:53.840 You got a fifth round pick for him, a j 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.119 boy going to Denver. Nick Foles, for goodness sakes, is 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.760 with the Chicago Airs now or the fourth round pick. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.000 That's a lot of moving parts that they had to do, 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.800 some of these things because they were up against and 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.000 in fact over the salary cap at the start of 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.919 the year, right. I mean it was necessary moves, you know, 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:14.480 as a fan, as a Jaguar lifer, as a fan. Uh, 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.560 you know, I think the one that surprised me the 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.960 most was the Klais move. Uh. Just a big guy leader, 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.520 you know, someone who's gonna be much needed in that 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.760 locker room. So we have to you know, another question 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.719 alongside who is the draft picks you're gonna be is 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.360 who's going to be the leader? You know, who are 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.400 the young guys that are either already there or coming in. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.320 You know, who are they gonna follow? Who are they 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.919 gonna look up to? I've seen somewhere where Leonard, you know, 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.320 he's been sort of uh saying, well, man, I'm not 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:49.520 gonna have any more teammates left on his social media, 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.000 But I really firmly believe that this is an opportunity 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.879 for Leonard to solidify himself, you know, as a leader. 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.520 Go ahead and accept the role. Man. You know you've 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:04.239 been there as Ah's fourth year guy coming up, so 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.560 I think this is the time to accept that role 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.280 and try to find something positive in it all. But 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.000 a lot of moves made necessary moves for salary cap 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.200 but it's gonna be tough to replace some of those guys, 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:22.680 namely Calais. You know, boy he he he didn't quite 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:26.560 necessarily have that same you know, smoking fire behind him 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:30.320 as he did when he first arrived. But cornerback position, 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.760 I think that's the need too, but more importantly that 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.800 defensive You're not gonna win any games if you can't 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.720 stop anybody or getting pressure on anyone. So replace the Calais. 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.520 I think that probably should be, in my opinion, one 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.480 of the more important or one of the big priorities 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.439 in the draft. Bred won't get to your thoughts on 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.159 the draft a little deeper here coming up in a minute, 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.639 but we mentioned there obviously Nick Foles on, so that 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:59.000 means Gardner, Minshew and Josh Jobs are in the quarterback 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.720 room currently. So it seems like it's Gardner Minshew's job 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.159 at least for now to putting what happens in the draft. 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.080 Maybe Dave Caldwell pulls a fast food and sneaks a 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.040 quarterback in early. You never know, right, but it seems 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:12.840 like Gardner is the guy that was a good rookie 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.560 year for him. Yeah. No, it was really good rookie year. 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.000 And uh, you know, he and they have to they 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.760 have to compete. I think it would be nice if 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.680 they could somehow either find another veteran guy. It would 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:28.439 be tough at this point, but someone else to come in, 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:33.720 you know, sort of help bring Gardener along even more. Um. 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.080 I thought Folds did a great job last year of 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.560 taking him under his wing in spite of, you know, 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.600 all the other things that were going on. But it's 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.200 always good to have a better guy in there that's 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.760 been through that scene. It knows how to prepare, can 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:53.040 help teach Gardener because he's still raw. You know, he 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:56.920 had a solid rookie campaign, but he's still raw. What 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.320 we say, fourteen games he started thirteen a nine one 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:04.639 h QBR quarterback rating, twenty one touchdowns to six I 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:09.120 and t s ards passing. That's all good that's all good, 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:13.199
