• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of players walking in with their luggage today and we'll
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: go around the National Football League and talk about the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: games that have been announced already. They've turned to schedule
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: east Jeff Logoman into a week long event in the NFL.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Is it really a week long event? They announced the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: international games on well, I guess it's a three day event.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: They announced the International Games on Tuesday, and then some
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: more games yesterday and some more this morning. It's amazing,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and then tonight is the big reveal. Yeah, it's pretty
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: cool that the schedule can actually be that newsworthy across
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the radio dial, the television everything. I mean, it's dominated
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: sports news in today and I think somewhat to a
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: degree yesterday in the day before, and it hasn't even
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: hit a fever pitch yet. Tonight it's gonna be the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: uh when we're gonna find out that the Jaguars get
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: prime time that I mean, I think that's the one
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: thing that most people are looking for, right It's been
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: so long on those Sunday night football, Monday night foot ball.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They Jacks haven't had a Monday night game since twenty eleven.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: They haven't had a Sunday night game on NBC since
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, So it's you know, is this
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the time? Is this the quarterback coach combination stars on
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the team, do they align enough where they can get
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: some of this? Hey, look, I don't really I'm not
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: concerned about when they play. I mean, it's great for
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the organization to have exposure and to get national TV games.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: But the reality is you want them to win first.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: That's the whole point. If you get those games somehow
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and you lay eggs, you're gonna get get them again.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You were you were nine and eight last year and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you had a magical run at the end. Okay, So
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: you know a lot of people were sitting there going, no,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: this was a great team. They should get lots of
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: national coverage. I mean, they're gonna get some because they've
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: got a young, exciting quarterback and one hell of a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: football coach, you know, so that that respect is going
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to be there. But if people are expecting, you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: three or four national games, i mean, look here, you're
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: not there yet, you know. And then at the end
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of the day, doesn't matter. You know. Here's here's the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: one thing I will say. When you get good okay,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and you start getting some of those games, national games,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: what's different about them? They're at night? Okay? Doesn't that
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: make it a little bit more challenging from a preparation
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: travel standpoint. Can sure, it can change a lot of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: things leading up to it and the build up of
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the day of the you know, if it's a Monday
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: night game. Your whole schedule is different the week before
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and after. I'm all for the national games, Okay. I'm
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: not saying that it's a bad thing. It's a it's
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a great thing because it gets more notoriety for this
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: football team, more exposure to a wonderful city that we
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: live in. Those are all great things, okay. But at
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, I knew there was a
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: comma butt coming. Now there's not a butt. But at
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, you want your football team
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to be good, okay, and and look want them to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: be good if they get a couple now games. Great
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you sound you sound almost like John Ozer, a little
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: bit who wants every game at one o'clock on Sunday,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: which happened a few years ago. By the way, Well, personally,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: as a player, I always liked if they were home
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: four o'clock. If it's a road game, one o'clock all
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: day long, because you're home. Ear yeah, you get back.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You actually can get some resting and get recovered and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: have a little bit more of a normal schedule for
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the following week. It's when you get on the road,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: if it's a night game or a late game or
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: West Coast games. I mean those are obviously a little
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: bit more challenging to get back and recovered and get
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: your body clock and your body recovery clock back in order. Well,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I will say this, the schedule this year. We know
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the opponents, the home and road opponents, the furthest West.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars travel this year is Houston beautiful, That's a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: beautiful It's fantastic, there's no doubt. But there's two of
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: them that are gonna be to the east that are
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: pretty long ways away. All right, all on one trip.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: And of course we're talking about the London games. Everyone
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: ounce like that. On Tuesday and it's Week four, the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Jaguars at Wembley Stadium playing host to the Atlanta Falcons.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And then the next week the Jaguars will stay in
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the London area and they will play at Tottenham Hotspur
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Stadium in Northeast London against the Buffalo Bills. And what
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a game that should be, What a week it should be,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: activities shows, everything going on for the Jags, faithful in
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the UK and those who come over. It's gonna be
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: quite a scene, I think building up to the Wembley game.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: That's the Jaguars home game that will have the Jaguars
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: feel everything about it, and then the week between the games,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll have a pint or two, well yeah,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: or three. Yeah. I think it's I think this is
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: brilliant on the league's part as far as how they
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: scheduled this. See, you have a Jaguars home game at
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Wembley against an opponent that you know, he's still trying
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to figure out who they are. They made a lot
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: of acquisitions, a lot of talent, They the skill positions,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: but they still don't have the trigger man. Which okay,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: if you don't have the trigger man, I don't know
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: how good you can be. And right now the Atlanta
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Falcons really don't have a trigger man at the quarterback position.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: But then having the next game being away game against
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, which they were more than willing to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: give up a home game, I mean, that's a marquee matchup.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: That's a marquee matchup even though it's not your game.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: But it's a great way to build more of a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: following there and also here because it's National TV two
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: weeks in a row. Absolutely that game's on NFL Network.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: The Falcons game will be on ESPN, plus it will
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: be the only games in that window of course, at
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: nine thirty in the morning each week. And yeah, I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: mean would you rather play the Bills in Orchard Park
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: or would you rather play a more of a neutral
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: site in London and be there for a week building
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: up to it and not have the late travel at all. Well,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised that it's that it's two games in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: a row. We've heard or there were whispers about four
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: years ago that there may be two games who were there,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and nothing was ever substantiated, so we just thought, oh, well,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: maybe that's just that whispers in the win We didn't know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: but it made sense. I mean, if it was going
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to be a home and away at some point, and
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: so I think it's I think it's great. I mean
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: it's uh, you're not giving up a home game here,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: although you're giving up I think the opportunity for people
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to sleep in on a Sunday and watch the game
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: at a different time. But other than that, I mean,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it's an away game again to Markey opponent, and I
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: mean think about it to be all across the nation. Yeah,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and I mean the way that the hope is the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Jaguars are in the playoff mix again obviously in December.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: This game, that one game can come down to seating
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and head to head matchup against a team that's in
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the mix of the playoffs every year. You want every
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: advantage you can. Look. It's uh for me, that game
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is all about one of the favorites in the AFC,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a great young quarterback and Josh Allen and then a
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: great young quarterback and Trevor Lawris. I mean, this is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: this is this will be one of the I think
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it will be one of the marquee matchups of the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: day in the National Football League. When you've got two
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks of that stature facing each other, that's a that's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a sales point. You saw the leagues released in you
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: about it was the pre schedule release that they put out,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the release about the release, Yes it was. You know
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: they had x'es in where you know, all the dates
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: were going to be about the anticipated matchups and uh,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: this one because they had the marquee quarterback matchups around
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the league in twenty twenty three. To me, this is
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: one of them, right, this is absolutely one of them,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: no doubt. Jaguars Happy, I are own Tenttenexlamjaguars dot Com
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: JP Shadi Jeff Logman, glad you're with us. Of course
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: we're talking about the London games, two of them. Week
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: four at Wimbley, week five at Spurs. Maria Gigante is
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars VP of UK Operations, a longtime NFL office
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: employee and recently at least a couple of years ago,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: has come over to the Jaguars full time and she
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: is full time in London, leading the charge on the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: ground in the UK and I caught up with her
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: today to discuss the impact of two games in the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: London marketplace.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: We are very excited. The announcements yesterday went over really well.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Of course, lots of questions about the Jaguars commitment, what's
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: going on, what does two games mean? But for us
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: on the ground, it just means more access to the players,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: more fun things to do for the fans, and just
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to really take advantage of the back to
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: back weeks.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go through that a little bit. There's always
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a build up go into the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: one game at Wimbley, you know, obviously, now with the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: week between the two games, there's an opportunity for our shows,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Happy Hour, Drivetime all those things to maybe go out
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: on location. What else is in the hopper I mean,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: or is it too early to tell what kind of
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: fan experiences you might have?
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it is too early to really talk
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: about what we will be doing. I think some of
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: the things we want to do is what you just mentioned,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: is to bring all that authenticity, the drive time shows
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: and all the programming that we do in Jacksonville to
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the UK. So we did some scouting of some pubs
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: for you last couple of weeks, so looking for a
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: location to do all that, but really get out in
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the community, you know, take the opportunities that we would
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: have had in Jacksonville with the player's day off and
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: bring them out to the community to meet the fans
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: and to do some of our grassroots work that we
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: feel really is the identity of the Jaguars here. It's
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: the grassroots activity and everything we're trying to do to
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: build the game.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Brigigante is with us formerly of the National Football League.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: You're involved in the league side of this for a
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: long time. So from a personal perspective, how has it
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: been from from working for a team side now after
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: being with the league for so many years.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: It's very different. I personally enjoyed the side of the
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: business a lot better. But it's great to be part
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: of the first game in two thousand and seven and
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: then to see how everything has evolved that you now
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: have a team owning a game and operating it here
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: in the UK is just tremendous, and you know, I'm
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: so happy to be a part of it and love
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: to have seen the you know, the Jags progression and
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: everything that the team has been able to do, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: now leading that is really special.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Well, you touched on it there and you said it
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: last season was the first time the Jaguars owned the game.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: They ran everything and you were obviously at the forefront
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: of that. So how has that helped you streamline the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: process this time around going into year two of owning
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: the game at Wembley.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Well, we certainly had a lot of learnings last year,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: but coming you know, the second time around, we have
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: great partners at Wembley that have really supported us through
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: the journey, so it is it is a bit smoother.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: We know where we want to stay, we know where
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: we want to practice. We've got the charter sorted out,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: so now it's really focusing on all the other good
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: stuff that we can do, so all the exciting fans,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: fan engagement opportunities, events, and the stuff that we really
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: didn't focus on last year because we were so committed
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: to just putting on a great game for the team,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: but for the fans as well.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: You know, Marie, I don't know if our fans know
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: you that well. I mean, you're relatively new to our
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: organization and we get there one time a year, so
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and we touched on it a minute ago. You've worked
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: at the league for a long time before. How long
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: were you with the NFL and how to did you begin?
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I started with the NFL in December nineteen ninety three,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: and my journey started in what they used to call
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: a fish bowl, and I was a receptionist and just
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: kind of work my way through the league organization. Started
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: working with the VP of Consumer Products at the time,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: who allowed me to go to Super Bowl and do
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: smaller events at Super Bowl, and then I started taking
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: on a lot of the international games, so the games
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: we used to play in the league played in Tokyo
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: in Mexico City, got involved with europe League and really
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: then took on the international part of the business, moved
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: over to the UK in twenty fourteen and have been
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: here ever since. Was lucky enough to be asked to
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: join the Jags after the game in twenty twenty one
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: and it's been a great journey ever since.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Tell us about the staff on the ground for the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Jaguars in the UK. Around you is getting deeper and
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: deeper and it is a talented group that gets a
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: lot done.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So we are a small but mighty team, but
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: there's seven of us here in Jacksonville. We cover everything
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: from ticketing, marketing, promotion PR, all of our social channels.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: We do it all and we you know, we work
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: very closely with our counterparts in Jacksonville. So we have
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: weekly calls with the PR team with Amanda and John.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I talk to football every Tuesday. We have our Tuesday
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Chat just to go over everything that's going on for
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: the game, but then everything that goes on for the season,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: because there's always there's always stuff going on in the UK.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: So the perception is it's just one game, but it's
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: really not. It's a true business. Three hundred and sixty
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: five days a year. We have programs that activate every day,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: we're in the community, we're doing different things, so it's
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: really an interactive process. But you know, it's it is
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: a small team, but we're growing and I think that
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: we have a really talented bunch here.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: It's Maria Gigante, the Jaguars VP of UK Operations, discussing
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the staff and everything that happens in the UK year round.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: They have, as she said, their staff of nearly ten
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: now that are there full time in London and getting
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: things done really cool. And what's pretty amazing is that
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars took over the game day operations themselves everything
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and which is a huge undertake in and obviously it's
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a partnership with Wembley, but the job that they did
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: compared to what was done before. First of all, they
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: did a tremendous job. But what I loved about how
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the takeover, you know what change was. Remember before it
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: was kind of the Jaguars in one end zone, the
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: other team and the other end zones site it's it's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars home game, So why are we putting the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: other team's logo and the other end zone. It's that's
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: not supposed to work. And so this past year it
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: became I mean, just Jaguars and that's the way it
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: should be. And you know it helped a little bit too.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: It's the only game at Wimbley. All the other games
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: are now at Spurs, so it can be you can
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: paint the field and do things Jaguars ways and permanently.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I love that you get so irritated about the field paint.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: The field paints the home game forever. Was something wrong
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: with that? No, I'm just you. I remember this argument,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: like what game was? This is probably seven years ago. Well, JP,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I I can tell you sitting in London on the
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: pregame show, you were telling me about how you didn't
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: like the paint on the field that why is there
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: an NFL logo? It should be a Jaguar cat heead, Actually,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: why is there an NFL logo? Come on, this should
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: be a Jaguar game. You're from Alabama. Your accent is worse.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I can tell you this though, that I was not
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the only one that was a little upset by the
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: field paint. Okay, back in the day, because what happened
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: once the Jaguars team took over. What do you mean, well,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: they didn't have the other team's logo painted in the
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: m zone and out of out of their gratefulness for
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the opponent. But there were also three games at Wembley
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: in a row point bring in some new soda. That's
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: not how it works there. That's just you don't think
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: they can do it there. We can do it here. Yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: we can do it here. We don't have the same
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: kind of field as they have. So long, we'll come
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: back and we can talk about The short story version
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: is is that I was not the only one that
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: was upset about the field paint back in the day,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: because that was one of the first things that changed
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: when the Jaguars took control of the game over. Also,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: it's the only game there now, that's why to anyway,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: we're back in the Cathead JP. I love the cathead tealing.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I'm the only one on this show wearing the cath
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: head right now. Oh yeah, yeah, you see that. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: have it on my it's actually oh yeah, actually this
• 17:59

• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Leak Day, Why do you call it leakeday? Look, there
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: are some games that are being actually announced by the league. Yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, oh, that sounds like a leak. That's an issue.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that's the only leak on this yard, but there
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: will be. There's all these people trying to leak games
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: out on Twitter and stuff, and they might have intel,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: and some of them are might be right, some of
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: them might be wrong. But you'll find out tonight at
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: eight o'clock on the NFL Network. I don't know if
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I call them leaks, but the lot of people have
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: kind of figured out, thank you. Some people are are guessing. Yeah,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean throwing up mud at the wall.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Some of it's gonna stick, you know. And plus you
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: know what the schedule is as far as who your
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: home opponents are, who your way opponents are, So I
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: mean there's a way to kind of once. If one
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: game ends up getting released, then some people are figuring out, well,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: if that's gonna happen, something else is gonna happen. So yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: it's but you know, all right, we'll come in just
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Well, most people aren't like me and
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: you and are like glued to the news to find
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: out what the leak is. Most people are like, well,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I'll find out to night when the schedule comes out.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of leaks going out of this. I
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: don't know. That's kind of fun. We'll get to the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: games of look, that's so worse than field paint, Joe,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: there's not much worse than field paint. But we might
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: have found something. We'll get to the games that have
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: been officially announced by the league coming up in just
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit. The rest of the schedule coming up tonight.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Rookie Mini Camp weekend is here. I was walking through
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the hallway earlier today, Logs and I looked through the
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: walkway out through the door, and there's a line of
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: rookies that just showed up with their bags like they
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: were coming in to boot camp or something. I mean,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: it's like they're gonna sit down and get their hair
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: buzzed off right after. It's like they've showed up to
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: get to get it done this weekend, right, so everybody's
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: getting checked in and ready to go for tomorrow and Saturday. Yeah,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: literally off the bus. I mean, the guys are carrying
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about bags because some of these guys
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: are not going home after this weekend. You know. For example,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of guys that are in here for
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: the rookie weekend. I think that are on a tryout basis,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: so a lot. I heard there's a total of close
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: to fort like thirty eight or nine players that will
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: be on the field this weekend. You can tell. I
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: think the what the what category the rookie is in
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: based on how big and how many bags he has.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: You know, the ones that are here on a tryout
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: basis probably have like a little small Duffel bag, you know,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the draft picks. For example, I was walking in the
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: door and I could see that The last pick that
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars had, Derek Parish from Houston, the full back
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: slash outside linebacker. He had a Nebraska bag that was
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: probably about you know, four foot long, you know, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: big around is a big log, you know, as big
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: as you can make your arms be. And then he
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: had another bag too. I mean, so, I mean, these
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: guys are playing on once the mini camp concludes, then
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: they're here for the off season program, and so they
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: need stuff. You know, a lot of them are going
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: to have an opportunity to go home until they catch
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: a break at some point. So last week logs, we
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: went through the first five round worth of draft selections
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: for the Jaguars, broke them down. You've been looking at film,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: damn deep deep diving if you will, uh taking out
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: though I thought we put uh players. I thought we
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: put that that term to bed. Well, I just brought
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: it back out. I woke it up again. I thought
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: we agreed that that was not going to be used
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: ever a decken. So today we'll dig through the sixth
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: and the seventh round picks. They'll be on the field
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: of course this weekend Friday and Saturday. Let's go through
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: your evaluation. If you will of the sixth round picks,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: starting with wide receiver Parker Washington, Penn State. You know,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: he kind of reminds me a little bit of Christian Kirk.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Doesn't have that real high end speed like Christian Kirk,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: but real crafty doesn't have phenomenal speed like Christian Kirk.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Because Christian Kirk, I think, can be a burner at times.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: But he's a shorter guy, but he's thick, you know,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: and he plays the game a little differently than a
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: wide receiver, can break tackles, not afraid of contact exactly.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: So I really like him, and I thought he was
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: a really good pick for the spot that he was
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: picked at. Later in the sixth round, Rutgers defensive act
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Christian Braswell. Actually two in a row here, Eric Hallett
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: from Pittsburgh as well. Maybe different styles from Braswell and Hollett. Yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: and I'll start with with Braswell from Rutgers and really
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: good is of my notes that I wrote down WILLI good,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: really good speed. He's a very willing physical player, but
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: at times he's not a great tackler, and that's something
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: that he's got to improve on. But he's got the
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: speed which you got to have that if you're going
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: to play that position. And he's got the hips. The
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: hips can flip and move. He's fluid athletic, so you know,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I think that there's an opportunity there for some growth.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I mean typically when you're taking a cornerback in round six,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: you're hoping that he can develop. And he's a guy
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: that can, I think be developed, But the physical aspect
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and the better tackling need to come through with him.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Hallett from Pittsburgh not quite as big as braswell as
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: far as height. Wives plays very under control and you
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: like that aspect of him. But he's not extremely fluid
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: at times. But uh, and he's a safety. You know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: there's I think been some conversation that he's a guy
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: that can maybe play defensive back, which is kind of
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: a mix of safety and also maybe nickel or maybe
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: some corner. But he's a safety, and he's not a
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: real big guy. He's a five foot nine safety. You know,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: typically you see safeties that are a little bit bigger
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: than that. But I like the way that he plays
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: the game. What is it was it Shakira that said
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: hips don't lie? Yeah, I think it was well look,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: if you're going to play defensive back, get you gotta
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: have really what they call fluid hips, because if you
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: can't change direction in an athletic way, then you're a
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: step behind every time the hips get turned one way,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: and the hips sometimes will get turned three times in
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: one route. And so the one thing that you're always
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: look for is how they end up flipping those hips,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: you know, And then we move on to the seventh round.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: We got a local guy. Let's move forward to the
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: seventh round. In the twenty twenty three NFL drafts from
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: right up the road in Baker County and went to
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Appalachian State offensive lineman Cooper Hodges. He just looks like
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: an offensive lineman in his photograph, right, I mean, long hair, beard. Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: But he's a big dude. Yeah, I mean he's a big,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: big dude. He actually runs well athletic. When I say athletic,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: looks athletic when he's running. He's got I wish he
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: was a little bit more athletic, but he's got the power.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: And I don't know where he's going to play at.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I think he's probably better suited to guard where I
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: think he's going to be more of a maler, but
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: he's incredibly strong. Watched him do his bench press reps
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: because they film everything at Appalachian State, and he got
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: like twenty nine reps on two hundred and twenty five pounds.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, he just he's built. He's just big and
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: he's broad, physical guy. It's gonna be interesting to see
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: where he ends up. I think it's gonna be guard,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: but you know, you'd have to protect him a little
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: bit at tackle. When I was watching a film though,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the other thing that really kind of stood out watching
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: the other tackle which was a free agent, undrafted free
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: agent that went to Kansas City. Hardy was his name.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: He's a good football player too. Now Atlechia State had
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: two really good tackles, two really good tackles. Later in
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: the seventh round out of North Carolina, Raymond va Hassig,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle. He's one of those guys that's got a
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: good motor. He's got strength, he can take the double team.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Sometimes he gets a little high when he gets his lockout,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: but he's got good hands and he's got really good
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: closing speed. I mean, I'm talking bow he's there, you know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: once he gets off a block from me to Joe,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: you know which is five five and a half yards?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Just say Bowl or Powell. What do you mean Powell?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Is that sound effect you just made? I think he
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: said with a b that's the Alabama pal p p
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: that Okay, I got it, po pal He's right over
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: there to Joe. But he's got great closing speeds, he
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: got size, and uh, he's a he's a defensive tackle.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: From the standpoint, he's going to be playing a zero,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: A one, or a shade two. So in other words,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: he's he's on the head up to the guard to
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: head up to the other guard. He's that's his that's
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: his area. And uh, but he plays with a good motor.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: He's over there, Joe. Yeah, I like that. Uh. And
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: then we go to Houston and they're gonna put him
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: in the running back room as a full back, Derek Parish,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: but he also stood out as a defensive line. I
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: don't know about putting full back. He Doug Peterson said it.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you what he said. I you know, hey, well,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: first of all, the guys built like a Greek god. Okay,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: the guy could. The guy's like, you know, we got
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: muscles coming out everywhere. But he is a very good athlete.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: He's not just some guy that looks the part. I mean,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: he's athletic, he's fast, he's got a great motor, plays hard.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: You know, the level of competition at Houston not as
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: good obviously as some other programs. But what I like
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: about him is that he makes plays. And here's the reality.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: How many guys are going to come in as a
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: seventh round draft pick outside linebacker, going to come in
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and make a football team on day one? As an
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: outside linebacker on this football team, I mean, you know,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: it's going to be tough. Now they've termed him a
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: fullback because at his pro day he decided to work
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: out as a fullback and as a linebacker, et cetera. Well,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: he did play some fullback about two or three years ago,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: some like three snaps. Correct, that wasn't very many snaps.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: But I give him credit because he wants to just
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: make a team and he wanted to give himself value
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: by showing that he could be a multi dimensional player. Now,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: when you look at the Baltimore Ravens, Okay, they have
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: one of those guys and I'm trying to remember his name.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: He plays full back Patrick. He plays full back, he
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: plays defensive tackle, he plays special teams. I mean, that's
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: kind of what I envision Derek Parrish, Patrick Ricard, Ricard
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: and so Ricard's one of those kind of utility knive,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: jack of all trades guy that can do multiple things.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But most importantly, Parish has the speed, the strength, and
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the want to to play special teams, which I would
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: not put the label of full back on him. I
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: would put the label as football player for his position
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: because he's going to play a lot of different roles.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I think like that. There's not many offenses in the
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: league anymore that have a full back. Un No, how
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: many times have you ever seen Doug Peterson use a
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: full back? But it's something they said, Hey, we were
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: looking at the stuff from the last year. Maybe it's
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: something we can experiment with moving ahead. Maybe, And they
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: got they've got tight ends now at least Brenton Strange
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: has lined up in that spot before in college. We'll
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: see what he can do. But they've got some ideas.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe well, I'm looking forward to seeing how they're gonna
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: end up utilizing him. But here's the reality. The offense
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: is not going to be built around a seventh round
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: draft pick full back. They're not going to just all
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: sudden invent a new offense to have a fullback in it.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Offset eye, let's run to the raw. I mean, this
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: is not going to be a downhill, bloody or nose. Okay,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: three yards and a cloud of dust offense, which I've
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: had many people point out that, hey, look if you
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: just run the ball three times, Okay, that's twelve yards,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: that's a first down. Well you need is three point
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: three yards for the first three downs, and you got it. Yeah,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I know, But but you know when you when you
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: get into that six and seventh round, in reality, the
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: grades of those guys in the sixth and seventh round
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: are not all that different than some of your free
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: agents that you get. That's the reality. Jaguars Happy Hours
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: inted XL, Jaguars dot Com, JP Shadwick, Jeff Flagavan. Speaking
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: of undrafted free agents, there are a few that you know,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: you've looked at most all of them on tape. There
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: are a few that kind of has stood out for you.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I'll just mentioned a few of them here. Elijah Cooks
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: from San Jose State, and before that he was at Nevada.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: So you just like with the nil things. I mean,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: guys have changing schools, like they change underwhere from year
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: to year. But what I like about Elijah Cooks this
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: is a big dude, big target, red zone guy. The
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Jaguars don't really have that big red zone wide receiver target.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I think he could have a chance of being something
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: like that down the road. I like the way he
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: plays the game. He's got great catch ratey got pretty
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: good speed for a big, long guy. Can do a
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: really good job with the contested balls just because he's
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: so tall. But I like him. I think he's got
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: a chance. Another guy that I really like Samuel Jackson
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: from Central Florida. Big dude, I mean massive, three hundred
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: and thirty pounds and just a monster of a man.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: And when you watch him line up, he's so much
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: bigger than everybody next to him on the line. He
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: really stands out and he does a good job of
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: moving athletically for a three hundred and thirty pound guy.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: So I think this is a guy that's got a chance.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: And offensive lineman sometimes it takes them a year or two,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: sometimes three years to develop. I think this is a
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: guy that's got enough athleticism and definitely has the size
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: that given some time that you hope that he develops
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: another one. Jarray Jenkins wide receiver. A lot of people
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: probably know him right, And what I love about him
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: is that he reminds me a little of kind of
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: a college version of Michael Irvin. You know, Michael Irvin
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: have the best beat? Not really, did Michael Irvin have
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the greatest after the catch moves? No? But what made
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Michael Irvin so great was he was just a great
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: competitor and he owned the ball when it was in
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the air. And I'm not saying that a lot of
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: people don't take this the wrong I'm not saying Jeray
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Jenkins is gonna be Michael Irvin. But what I love
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: about him is how competitive he is. When I say
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: how competitive he is is that he competes on every play,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: does a good job with the contestant balls, but he
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: competes on special teams. I mean, this guy plays special
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: teams JP like it matters. And how many times do
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: you find guys at LSU that's a wide receiver that
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: embraces the role of special teams at LSU. You don't
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: find that there's some places that make that such an
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: emphasis that they'll put a starting player as gunners, but
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: not every place does that. That's for sure. We're back
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: in a moment, and we'll get into some of the leaks.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Some leaks have been going on. Thanks the NFL has
• 34:07

  Speaker 2: Claire for doing People get the impression that they work
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: ten days and that's all they We've got some big leaks,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: big big leaks. That's a small league. However, there are
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: some games that have been announced thank you by the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: NFL already ahead of the full announcement tonight eight o'clock
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: NFL Network. The league has announced some key games on
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: some of the big days ahead of tonight's release. The
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: season kickoff game Thursday of Week one, Lions at Chiefs.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: The Lions getting that big primetime window with all the
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: moves they've made the last couple of years in the draft,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: that'll be a big, little surprising moment for them. Yeah,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a little surprising, that's that it's Lions,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: but uh, but good for them. Monday Night Football Week
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: one Bills at Jets. Aaron Rodgers' debut at September eleventh,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: as well, I got a feeling that that whole Aaron
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Rodgers in New York thing is gonna backfire. Well, it's
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: gonna backfire dramatically, and a lot of primetime games, most
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: likely the Cowboys of the Niners on Sunday Night Football
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Week five, that's in Santa Clair, the old rivalry there.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Of course, we know about the international games Falcons, Jags, Jags, Bills, Ravens,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Titans in London, and then Week nine the Chiefs and
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins in Frankfort, and Week ten the Colts and
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: the Patriots in Frankfort. The uh. I remember when I
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: was doing NFL Europe, which was a long time ago,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: but I'm trying ninety nine, two thousand, and I'll tell
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: you what great I was in high school. Yeah you were.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: You weren't even in high school. High school? Okay? The uh.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: The following that Frankfort had over there and NFL Europe
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: was incredible. They traveled to all the other European cities
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: to watch their team play. The atmosphere at their games
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: was unbelievable and that was always always one of the
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: the more fanatic fan bases that there was an NFL
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Europe at that time, and so it's no surprise to
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: me that there's a great following in Germany for NFL football.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: They put on a show last year Munich, and they're
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: gonna alternate cities as the years go, and they get
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: an extra game this year in Germany because the city,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: the Mexico City Stadium is under renovation for the World
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Cup coming up, so they'll get the Mexico game back
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: and most likely go to one Germany. I did a game.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I did one game in Berlin and then Frankfurt was
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: the visiting team. Berlin thunder Man okay, and when Frankfurt
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: frank they traveled, I mean the fans rolled up in
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: buses and were loud and boisterous. I mean it was.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: It was pretty impressive. Some more games that have been
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: not leaked but announced by the NFL Black Friday, first
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: ever time the Jags will play on the or not
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: the Jags excuse me, the NFL will play. It's not
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: a leak, by the way, it's the Dolphins and the Jets,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: unless there's a three team game somehow. No, it's the
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Dolphins at the Jets on Black Friday, first time the
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: league will play the day after Thanksgiving, including of course,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: the triple header on Thanksgiving. Those have not been announced yet.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is getting top billion with the New York
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Football Jets with thirteen, the Niners at the Eagles at
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: for twenty five. There is a Christmas Day triple header
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: on Monday. Two of those games have been announced Raiders
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: at Chiefs at one o'clock, Giants at Eagles at four
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: point thirty, and then a primetime game that has not
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: been announced yet, and then Bengals Chiefs on New Year's
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Even at for twenty five. How about that matchup? Yeah,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: that's a good one if everybody's healthy. Yeah, that's a
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: good one. You know, you just and all of this
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: is set up with the premise that the teams that
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: were good last year are going to be good this year.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of what you're talking about there until you
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: hope that these matchup are as attractive. When we get
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: to the point where the games are being played as
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: we're talking about them right now, right and there are
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: flexible options for the networks as well, and some of
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: these primetime games happens. If the Jets are not good,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: it's probably worth watching anyway. And if Aaron Rodgers gets
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not wishing this at all, but what
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: if he gets hurt? I mean that changes a lot.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I mean changes it could change a lot. But New
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: York is a big market, and when you put a
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: a big personality in a big market that's you know,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame caliber player, it's going to make it interesting.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: So the full schedule tonight, eight o'clock NFL Network, and
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: be sure to check out the Jaguars social media channels
• 40:34

• 41:53
  Speaker 4: Rising star. You know, the late wins against Baltimore, against Dallas.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: We were in the playoff game against the Charges of
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: the Sky Sports. The way he was marching up and
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: down the sidelines, Get me that ballback, get me that ballback,
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: and we're going to win this game. He looks special,
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: is special, and I think more and more people are
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: starting to realize that over here, and it's that just
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: this is a quarterback driven league. The Jacks have done
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: a great job selling themselves in the UK with their
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: football program. Some of the pro the school visits things
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: that we've been doing with stage shows and events, but
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Trevor Lorris is a great selling point. Now the quarterback
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: is going to accelerate this and create more and more
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: fans for the Jags. So it's very exciting.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: It's Neil Reynolds of Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: The full conversation coming up tomorrow. Jaguars dot Com and
• 42:47

• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Jaguars dot cole it's a live look outside of the
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Miller Electric Center. Oh boy, it's gonna be open for
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: business in July for training camp. The Jaguars are scheduled
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: to get the keys July one and move in and
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: be ready by the end of July to start practicing
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: on those fields they're rolling now. I mean, it's been
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: tremendous progress on that and there's a lot of people
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: that are working a lot of hours to make it happen.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: It's no doubt. I can't wait to see it. I
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: walked through it probably two months ago. Now and you
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: could tell the rooms were starting to come together. There's
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: still a lot to be done, but I'm sure now
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: it's close to the finishing touches in a lot of places,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of areas, and it's gonna come down to
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: the last few days most likely, but they're gonna get
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: it done. Man. Yeah, I mean, that's a lot of
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: work in a short amount of time, if you think
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: about it, I mean, that's a lot. Think about the
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: training camp experience for fans. Now, it's gonna be awesome. Man,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: covered seats out there, You've got restroom facilities, you got
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: the shops underneath everything. I think it was brilliant how
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: they ended up doing the stands to where the stands
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: are facing in the fields and so the southerly direction
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: is at their backs with a roof over the head.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, so, I mean talk about making sure that
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: it's comfortable for the people to actually sit and watch
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: a practice from the from the stands, and that's it's awesome.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: And the orientation of the building to the way it
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: faces out over the fields, and then with the indoor
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: complex to the north kind of getting to be a
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: visual barrier to the road and the road noise. I
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: mean it, A lot of thought went in that whole
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: process and the planning process of it. There's no better

• 45:20
  Speaker 2: JP Shadwick, Jeff Logeman. Let's take a look around the NFL.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: I'm ready, what do you got? You ready the big?
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Are you ready the Big? I'm ready for the Big?
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Are you ready? I'm ready for the Big? You're now ready?
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I'm now ready. The Patriots are set to honor Tom
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Brady at their home opener, the date announced tonight at
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: eight o'clock. Of course, they'll let the fans in New
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: England thank him for the service for over twenty years,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: said their owner, mister Kraft. Six super Bowl wins, seventeen
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: division titles in New England. For Brady, it's his second
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: return to fox Borough since leaving the Patriots after twenty nineteen.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Now you would think this means that this retirement is final.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: I don't believe it, You don't. Nope, So it's gonna
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: he's gonna play for another team? I mean I think
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: he could, yes, I mean, who does anybody know what
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady has been doing with his time? Now? I
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: haven't texted him lately. I need to get back on that. No,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: the reality, the reality is that he can still play quarterback,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: and he's still a highly competitive guy, and there's teams
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: out there that could use a quarterback. I'm not saying
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: he's gonna play again, and I'm not trying to be
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: funny here. I still think he can play. Could he play?
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, if something happened to the San Francisco
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers, we're all sudden brock Purty is not
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: ready to go. Don't you think that they would be
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: making a phone call to Tom Brady? And don't you
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: think that Tom Brady could lead a San Francisco football
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: team that has a tremendous defense with tremendous weapons on offense.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Don't you think that he could lead them deep into
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. I'm not saying he'd win a Super Bowl,
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: but I mean he'd have he'd have a really strong
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: chance of great success. So you're saying to me, you
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: don't think Tom Brady's been on the couch eating Cheetos
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: and putting away the TV twelve method book. He just
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: went rogue all of a sudden. Well, I mean, I
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: don't know what he's doing, but I can tell you this,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: if the guy wants, if the dude wants to play,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: he's the goat. Okay, and he can still play. And
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: no offense to Cheetos. I love Cheetos, obviously. The former
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs at third pleaded guilty Wednesday in
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty one drunken driving crash that killed a
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas woman. He's twenty four years old and he
• 47:43
