• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Jaggs Drive Time with Kaye Stevens Stevens and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: John Oser Oser. Jangs Drivetime starts right now.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Jags Drivetime. I'm Tai Nannie Stevens. We are
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: in Mini Camp week. It's not mandatory here in Jacksonville,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: so so that's got out of things.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Brian Sexton abandoned us.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: It's just John Oser and me here holding down the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: fort for you in our final Jags Drive Time before
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the summer break, and I think everybody is looking forward
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to that break summer already on it as we mentioned,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: but we're holding down the fort here on Mini Camp
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: week and a lot of the rookies and second year players,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: there's some of the injured veterans are here as well,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: getting a little bit of extra playing time, I guess
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: during this week. And that's kind of what Doug Peterson
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: said he wanted to focus on right now, the younger guys.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's mandatory for the people who have to be
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: here right so to speak. Biking News obviously, Josh Allen's here,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Calvin Ridley is here, Dalvin.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I mean Dalvin.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Chad MoMA and Devin Cooker. So Devin Lloyd I'm similar
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: with that name. Some guys here who they feel like
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: need that sort of time, need that reps. I think
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: the linebackers are here for some recognition, just more time
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: on task.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But Doug said it best, and.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I know we're going to get to the side when
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: veterans show up for these voluntary things and work the
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: way there's sposed to. He's not going to force the
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: issue and to keep him my three or four days
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: more into the summer.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So absolutely good for him. I like the approach, I.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Think so treating them like adults. We'll hear from Doug
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: We'll go over the big things, because the big thing
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: one is it's summer break early for some of those veterans,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the ones that did show up for OTAs and you know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: showed that they were here ready to go. They got
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the week, these three days off because they've been here
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: for the last couple of weeks. And Doug said it
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: was really just he saw a great turnout and he
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: felt like they giving them the extra three days wasn't
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: too big of a deal.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: These three days, you know, where we can really focus
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: on the young guys and even some of the injured
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: guys who can get another three days, you know of
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: of treatment and rehab and just spending time with the
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: young guys. But the vets have been doing an outstanding job.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: They've been here, they've been present, They've done everything that
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: I've asked him to do, and just felt it was
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: you know, beneficial for them to get the extra three days.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Big thing number two is Josh Allen's the first we've
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: seen of him. He did not participate in OTAs he
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: was working out personally I himself. He was in constant
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: contact with the coaching staff. So Doug Peterson said, there's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: no ill will there at all. He was just excited
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to actually see Josh Allen back in the building.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Listen, there's no bad blood or nothing like that. I mean,
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: guys are entitled to you know, the voluntary program. They
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: can do what they want to do, and it's just
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: good to get him back in this building and embrace
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: him and get him back with you know, his teammates
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: this week.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And Big thing number three is the new digs because
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: July first and Miller Electric Center is going to open.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So this mini camp is the last practices we will
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: see of everybody out on the field here at Tia
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Bank and Doug, for one, is very excited to get
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: into the new Digs, a.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Place that the guys can really I think call home
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: and even from the standpoint of the off season where
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: once the season ends, they don't have to go other places. Right,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: we're still in Jacksonville, Florida. The weather's good and in February,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: March and April, and you know, guys want to stay
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: here and use the building.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: John, we talked a lot about this obviously the last
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks about you know, whether Doug was going
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to cancel mini camp and not making mandatory for other people.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Obviously did it last year, so there was you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: some precedents out there, and he ended up doing that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But as we kind of talked about, it's you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: kind of treating them as adults. Right, you show up
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: for OTA's, you show you're ready to work. I don't
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: need to force you to be here for the mandatory portion.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And it's not really punishing anybody else. It's more just,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: you know, I want to give extra time to the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: people that maybe are younger, or are rehabbing, or I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: haven't seen as opposed to people I've seen for the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: last three weeks.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the angst and teeth gnashing that this caused last
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: year among fans was off the charts. And I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: the reason people stressed last year Jaywares hadn't been good.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: And if you've never been to an OTA practice, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: think you probably maybe don't quite understand what they all think.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: It's a little more intense than it probably.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're fine, but these OTA are all mental and.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's well not all mental. They're out there running around.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But this time is to make sure what coaches want
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: after OTA's in mini camp. They want to.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Feel like the players are as ready as they can
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: possibly be for when they walk back in the door
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: in training camp. And that means two things. That means
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: mentally and it means physically. At some point during OTA's
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: coaches get this anxious feeling of you know what I've
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: gotten through this without getting guys hurt?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: How much more do I want to push my luck
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: as a result paintball last week? You know, with rare exceptions,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: get him out of here this week. Look, he played.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: He knows how to approach this and very little that
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: you do. They're not going to win and lose a
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: super Bowl out here now. On June fifteenth. Doug knows
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: that get him prepared, get him ready, and make sure
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: they're ready when it really goes on. And I guess
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: July twenty sixth he said, yesterday's went up with.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: You know, get everybody back in pads on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but when they were on the field for the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: first time.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: And I love this approach because I think OTA's are overrated,
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: and I think deep down Doug believes that too.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: He definitely does.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: And I think a lot of it is just avoiding
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a surprise, right, You don't want anybody to come in
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: on July twenty first or whatever the actual report date is.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I think twenty fifth. You have to be here by
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: that date. Doesn't want anybody come in there looking completely
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: out of shape, not ready to go. So I think
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit of a precursor of Okay, these
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: are guys are all you know, we're going in the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: right way. Everybody's healthy, everybody's ready to go. So when
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: we do come back for a training camp, we will
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: hit the ground running and be able to actually put
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: some effort in, you know, put the pads on, figure
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: out what's going to go on with.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: This team this year. At least in my estimation. That's
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: what it seems like.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: So obviously I'm I encourage having some extra days off
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: because why not get a little summer break in earlier.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I know some people probably already had vacations plan.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Unfortunately, it's not really extra day's for us now,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: it's not. I wish that Doug would put in a
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: clause that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: You're a senior reporter, you'd get the you'd get the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: week off. I'm rookie, so I'd have to say.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: That's probably true, you would probably be the one here.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Ye. Look, it's it's it's the right way to approach it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: And the biggest thing to remember here, these guys are pros.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Skip OTAs and slack off during this time at your
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: own peril. And just because people aren't here doesn't mean
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: they're slacking off. Veterans at some point reached this point
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: where they feel like they know how to prepare out themselves.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: So the Josh Allen issue that Doug sort of I
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: think did a good job of nipping in the bud yesterday, Yeah,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: was never really an issue at all. Veterans of that
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: status of that time in the league they know how
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: to prepare and they know what they need to do
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: to get ready.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I had zero problem with Josh not being here.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: I think over time, as players get more comfortable in
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the offense and defense, I think you'll see more guys
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: that do what Josh has done and not train away.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: The players who can handle that. Coaches have no problem
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: with him doing that, and.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: That came across loud and clear. Obviously, Doug mentioned that
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: off the top of the show that they were in
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: touch with him. There was no issues, they were aware.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: He just wanted to see him this week, you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: because he hadn't seen him so far this off season.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: And as Josh allen, we're gonna hear from him in
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a little bit coming up. I think a lot of
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: his focus was just, you know, as we mentioned, OTA's
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: is kind of, you know, not the most intense thing
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: in the world, and he really going into a contract
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: ear wanted to be in the best shape he can
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: be in and be ready to start the season. So
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: we'll hear from him in his own words why he
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: chose to do that. But obviously not a huge factor
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: because he came in ready to work. He didn't look
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you know, sloppy or out of shape or by any
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of the means when we saw him yesterday, so he
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: certainly was putting in the work on his own time.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And then as we did mention for mini camp, these
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: are the last three practices we're gonna see on the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: TAA Bank Field until the new place opens up. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited for that as well. John, What do
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: you expect for a training camp and we finally get
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: into the new building.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Well for the.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Players and coaches, it's the first time that's been open
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: to fans since twenty twenty two, and I'm sorry twenty
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: twenty one.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: As you get to my HKI you lose track.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Yet it's okay, Yeah, you start spin while you won't
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: go as fast.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: So it's gonna be exciting for that. It's it's like
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: anything when you get a new house. You just moved
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: into your new place. When you move into a new place,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: it's exciting, it's fun. And I think Doug's right in
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: terms of this new facility for them in the long.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Term, NFL teams.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: You need NFL state of the art facilities in this
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: day and age. The facilities here, the stadium here, as
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: everybody knows, is it's thirty years old.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: You can rehab you can retouch it all you want.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: It's still old. This new place is state of the art.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: It will attract free agents. And the NFL is the
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: number one sports league in America.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna be in.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: It, you need the facilities and you need the infrastructure.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: If you will the reflects that. This new place will
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: reflect that. This new stadium when it happens to reflect
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: that too. This is about the Jaguars joining the rest of.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: The pack, and I think that, you know, it reminds
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: me of a little bit of college athletics as well.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: You build the facilities, they will come. People want to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: come to Jacksonville and play now, be part of coaching staff,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: whatever it may be. And if you build these facilities,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you build a new stadium, they're gonna be even more
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: incentivized to do that. Obviously, Doug jokes around a lot
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: because his office right now and doesn't have a window.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: He's gonna have a new window and get to look
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: out on the practice fields.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: But also just the ability for them to spread out
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit, because even what he said, I think
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: they have ninety on the roster right ninety one on
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the roster right now, and just watching them practice in
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the stadium, they're kind of all on top of each
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: other as well.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: It was a different again. Unfortunately for me, I was
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: here at ninety five when this place open. The NFL
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: in ninety five was a different league. You didn't have
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: as many coaches, you didn't have as much infrastructure on
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: this side of the building.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: When I'm pointing over here, I mean the business side
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: support staff was not as large.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: When I joined the Colts in two thousand and one,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: they were only three or four years removed from being
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: a very very small staff, and it expanded like crazy.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: The jaguary. Every team in the league has expanded.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: The issue with this place at as you're learning, when
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: you're in a stadium, there's really no room to expand,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: so you've had to sort of expand on top of
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: each other, if you will. It's not the facility that
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: they're in and this building are not twenty twenty three
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: NFL caliber. The facility they're going into is twenty thirty
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: five NFL counties, and that's what.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to do.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Shot is he's done a good job in ten years
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: of putting NFL caliber things around here. The scoreboards, he
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: redid the training facility, when he first got here, he
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: redid this locker room. That's all great, but at some
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: point you've got to build the foundation in the house.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: You can't just redo the rooms.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be good for the fans too, because
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: they will be able to attend training camp this year
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and this new grandstands. We got some shade. We have
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: fans out there, so hopefully you're not completely overheating while
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the players are on the field. So enjoyable for them
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: as well. I'm sure they're excited. I believe July twenty
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: six might be the first day they're actually out on
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the field, so I'm not sure fans are available that day,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: but you have to imagine that week we'll be able
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: to get in there and see it for themselves. It's
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a very exciting times. Obviously all the players are excited
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: to get over there, but we're excited to kind of
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: see what it looks like for training camp as well.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: So coming up, we're gonna hear from Josh Allen and
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: he explains why he wasn't here for OTAs and why
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: he's excited to be back. Now stay with us.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: It was just like that, you know, it was you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I really wanted to focus on myself, farcard, my.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Selfie fall season. The first couple of weeks, it was
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: definitely hard man like that how tould do it?
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: But you know, once I got the words from you know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: I called my guys, I called the coaches. They understood
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: why I was that and what I was doing. So,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: you know, once I got that, it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Was, you know, as he I don't I don't need
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: to worry about anything else after that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: That's Josh Allen. We are seeing him here for mini
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: camp the mandatory three days because he's was not here
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: for OTAs, and by all accounts, everybody was on the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: same page with that. Doug Peterson was aware he was
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: out practicing by himself obviously in the media and sometimes
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: people like to talk, you know, it's a contract here,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: maybe he's holding out what's actually going on. But I
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: don't think it was anything like that. I think he
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: was just because it was a contract here, maybe taking
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: things a little more seriously. He needs to play well
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: this year if he wants to get a lot of
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: money when he signs a new deal.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is not unusual for Josh. Josh did essentially
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the same thing last year, went to Phoenix stayed here
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: as well, so alternaged his time between those two places.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: He didn't show.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Up last year to the first ay OTAs. This year
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: he took a little further and stayed away for the
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: three sotas. He's a very motivated guy, and I'm not
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: trying to put words in his mouth, but my impression
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: from talking to our last couple of years, he's looking
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: for answers and he's trying to get He's a really
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: good player. In my opinion, he hasn't been great, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: he feels like there's another level there. When Josh is
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: away and he's working, those decisions are not about staying
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: away from the team. He's trying to figure out a
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: way to reach his potential. There's nothing wrong with doing
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: it here. There's also nothing wrong with looking somewhere else
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: and trying to find it. I think coaches would have
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: had a problem if they had thought, well, he's just
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: staying away because he doesn't come in and work hard.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: It's not that he's wanted to works somewhere else. So
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: it never really the contract thing. My thought, and I
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: really talked to Josh about this, but in being around him,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know that he really wants to sign a
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: contract yet, because if they came to him with a
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: mega deal, sure he'd sign it. But I'm not sure
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: that he thinks in his mind that he has maximized
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: his potential yet. I think he thinks there's a lot
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: more out there, and I think he still feels like, hey,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: I can go earn the kind of contract that I want.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: That's still out there for him.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: So there was that with the decision, but I never
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: got the impression it was, well, I'm mad at the jag,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: so I'm not coming in. That's really not who he
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: is and that's not his situation right now.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: He really does feel like, you know, just like a
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: man on fire, trying to get the best out of
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: himself so he can get the most money out of
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: this deal, because obviously, if you go into a contract
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: year and you completely show out, you're gonna get rewards
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: from that, whether that's here or elsewhere on the open market.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure that's what his focus is. I don't think,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: at least from my interpretation of what he was talking about.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: And you know, how the coaching staff has been speaking
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: to it really doesn't feel like it's an issue between them.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: It was just hey, I can go a little more
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: intense by myself, focus on myself in these three weeks,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and then when I actually get here, I'll be fully
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: ready to go and be my best, you know, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: work with his teammates. And he was, you know, he
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: was chopping it up with everybody out there yesterday talking
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: everybody's He's certainly not having any issues with his teammates
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: or you guys.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: He's a fantastic locker room guy. You never doubt his
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: will and his effort. And there's no his own question
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: coming up and him, So I won't burn out everything
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say about Josh, but he's trying to figure
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: out how to get where he wants to go.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, and then we do want to hear from Doug quickly.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: He just talked about how he's excited to see Josh
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Allen and kind of just see exactly what he's able
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: to do out there, and said he was honestly just
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: happy to see him running around this week.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I want to see that leadership, you know, this week
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: and you know everything that he's he's shown last year
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: and you know, being a Jaguar now that that enthusiasm
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: and that excitement to be a part of uh, you know,
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: be a part of this football team.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: And Josh is already in here shouting out half the
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: rookie squad. He's like, oh, I know Parker Washington, I
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: know so and so and you know all these guys
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: that he's excited to work with. So he's certainly showing
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: that leadership. As you mentioned, he's great with everybody. But
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: who's someone or not necessarily working with Josh, but who's
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: someone that can kind of, you know, benefit from this time.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Obviously with some of the veterans gone, you get more
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: reps for some of these guys that probably wouldn't may
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: not get his money during training camp.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: And everybody's here, well, I.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Think Devin Lloyd and Chad Muma are are benefiting. It
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: was interesting that Ridley was here. Uh you know, my
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: sense with that was more they had a plan, I
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: meaning Calvin rid the wide receiver. Yes, they had a
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: plan at the very beginning of this to bring Ridley
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: along the right way. Instance, they probably told him the
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: very beginning, look, we don't want you going one hundred
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: percent every practice. So instead of go one hundred percent
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: of every practice, dial it down. Make sure we don't
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: get hurt, but we'll have some time at the end
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: where you're also still here where we're going to make
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: sure you're ready and with him with the injuries, just
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: making sure he's a hund percent healthy coming into camp.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I think that was maybe And from what I could
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: interpret from what Doug was saying, him having access to
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: you know, the rehab and just having that for the
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: next couple of days because he wasn't going anywhere.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: He's moved to Jacksonville.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: He lives here now, and Doug said, you know, just
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: having him to be able to you know, rehab work
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: with our staff, just kind of make sure everything is right.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: All ducks are in a row so that when we
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: hit training camp, because I mean, as Calvin said himself,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: he needs to kind of be rained back in because
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: he's ready to, you know, run through a brick wall
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: at this point since he hasn't been able to play
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: for so long.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all about having him ready when it matters.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: It's about having everybody ready when it matters. One final
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: thought on Doug before we move on. Doug wants everybody here.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: It's always great and noways here, but he won a
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: super Bowl in Philly and I haven't gone back, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: I should at some point. I guarantee you not every
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: veteran was at the OTA's year they won the Super
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Bowl in Philly. No, he's been around. He has seen
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: plenty of cases where guys aren't here during OTAs, aren't
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: here during the off season, and do fine during the
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: radio season. People get very been out of shape this
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: time of year for guys who.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Who are and aren't here.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: They were unbelievable been out of Shae when they canceled
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Mini camp last year.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Fans were very worried. By September.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Nobody's thinking about these stories, and Doug has the perspective
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: to know that.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: It's why.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Look, he's not even going to fake or hide any
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: anger toward Josh because there is not, because he's seen
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: this before.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And we should mention it's voluntary. That's the whole point
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: is it's optional. You don't have to be here. You
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: have to be here this week if you know, you
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: weren't excused. And he is here and he's happy to
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: be here. And I also think now that you mentioned
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: that about Doug as well, just kind of springing to
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: my own mind.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: He was a backup quarterback his entire career.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: He knows it's valuable to get eyes on some of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: these other people and give them a shot to kind
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: of prove themselves and what they're able to do. And
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: hopefully this, you know, even just these three couple of
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: days is able for some of the rookies, second year guys,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: injured guys, whoever it is new to the team to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: maybe get some extra wraps, show what they can, showcase
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: what they can do without being clogged up with some
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: of the other you know, over not over overdone, but
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: like some of the position groups that there's there's a
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: lot of talent in there.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe they aren't getting as many reps.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Many viewers probably know where I'm going with this. You're
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: news to you here for the first time. Do tell
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Edrin James, who I covered Indianapolis. You still always famously
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: say I didn't graduate from the University of Miami, but
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I went there long enough to know what voluntary.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: It means, smart.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Man, And I'm paraphrasing that, But the point is it
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: is volunteer, yes, and it's important for people to remember
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: that it's voluntary for a reason. If you want to
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: be here, it's fine, you want most people here, but
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have guys every year who aren't here, and
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: it's okay.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of the young guys are taking
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: advantage of the opportunity and that's something that we should
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: look for. On the bright side of things, there's also
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of non rookies that are here too. I
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: think there's thirty plus non rookie guys here that are
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: just in town and decided to come in and practice
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: as well. So not to say everybody jumped ship as
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: soon as they could.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Coming out.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do the ozone mail bag and check in
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: with John on some of the most asked questions that
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you sent him to stay with us, Oh, ozone mail bag,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: We're gonna get your expertise.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: John.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: This is our last ozone mail bag before the break,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: and we will return in a lot of things will
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: be different with drivetime.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, guys, we're on couches.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: And apparently we've been made promises about this new place
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: as well, So.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Be off the hook.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: As they used to say, Oh I love that John slang.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: This is wonderful. All right, let's start out with question
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: one for you.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Ryan from Jackson Bell says, we know coach Peterson did
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: what he did with Carson Wentz in year two.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: How much better can Trevor be than Wentz?
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Well, I've got this question a couple of times, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure we have to compare him to Carson Wentz.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think right now the sky's the limit
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: for Trevor. This has been sort of a year long
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: topic for Doug Peterson since he got here. All last
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: year he continually talked about how the offense was going
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: to be better. There's gonna be a lot of room
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: for growth, for growth with Trevor in the second year
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: in this system. I'm not sure we need to put
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: any limits on how good he can be this year.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's reasonable. I think he can
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: get to Mahomes level. I think this is the year
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: that you watch for signs that he can get into
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: that group of Josh Allen, of Joe Burrow, of Patrick Mahomes.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: I think he's going to ascend to there at some point,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: and I think this will be the year he makes
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: the biggest jump toward that Wentz was off the charts
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: good in Philly for a lot of the reasons that
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: this reader is moving toward meaning a year in the system,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: everybody knows each other, he knows how to act in
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Peterson's system. Now, I think Trevor will benefit from that
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: and then doubly benefit from the fact that he is in.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: A lead talent.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: It's hard to remember, but Carson Wentz did have that
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: really great year and was very, very talented, very different now,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: but he was certainly able to thrive there at that point,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: but until he got injured. And I think with Trevor,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: he's just so talented, right, so the sky is the
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: limit for him, and obviously working with Doug will help
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: him get to that point, but I'm not going to
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: put any limits on where he can go at this point.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the biggest thing with Trevor, and we've talked about
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: all of season, he hit high points last year where
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: he was as good as any quarterback playing. His task
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: this year is to eliminate the inconsistency and be more
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: consistent hear those high points more that not coincidentally, is
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: what is what you expect from a year two player
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: in a system. A lot of the rough edges should
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: be a lot smooth this year, which should have him
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: looking more and more like one of those top three
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: or four.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Guys, and when you get that consistency, seeing the team
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: how they play around somebody like that. I'm sure when
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: you're in Indianapolis when you have Peyton Manning, you go
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: out that you know what you're getting, so you're like, oh,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: we got that, so we can do right, do our
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: own thing. The way that the team adapts to that
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: when you have a consistent, talented quarterback is it's cool
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to watch it happen. So I think with a little
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: bit of time, obviously still young, when he gets to
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: that point, it's going to be really cool.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: To see what finds the franchise.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Absolutely it does.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Question two for you today is going to be JT
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: from the Palm Coast. Do you see us getting the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: stadium that is rendered? Obviously we've seen all those images.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Looks beautiful.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: It seems like there has been some reluctance with the
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: taxpayers so far.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I do think they will get it,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: or that the general concept that was introduced last week,
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: I do think will get approved, and I think it
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: will be, you know, in the same ballpark as what
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: we've seen. When you build something, there are changes along
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the way and it's not going to be finished until
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty eight, I think, or twenty twenty twenty seven
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: for twenty twenty eight, so it's five years. So is
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: it gonna look exactly like the drawing? Probably not, But
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: is it going to be state of the art and
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: I would say like a spaceship.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: And as far as reluctance with the taxpayers, if you
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: studied these things, there's always reluctance with the taxpayers and
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: things like this, meaning there is always going to be
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: contentious discussion when you were talking about a professional sports
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: and public money. It's the nature of the beast. There
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: can be people who don like it, there are people
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: who are for it. So yeah, there's going to be
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: reluctance from some taxpayers.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I think city leaders and the people who see a
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: vision for this town and for this team for the
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: future will agree that to paraphrase Mark Lamping, the Jaguars
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: are good for Jacksonville, and jackson was good for the Jaguars,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: and in order to have that be the thing for
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: the next thirty thirty five years, this needs to happen.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I think city leaders realize that.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: As we mentioned, even with the Miller Electric Center, it's
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: it's easy to get behind quickly with the NFL because
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: of the way things adapt and there are only thirty
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: two NFL teams. If you want to have one of them,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: you need to adapt along with it. And as you mentioned,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: it's great. This is where they want to be. This
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: is where they're choosing to develop. They want to develop
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: around the stadium. There are plans in place. It's not
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: just like, hey, let's put this giant stadium here and
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: put nothing around it. They want to kind of develop
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: and turn downtown into something where people come even in
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the off season to you know, hang out into other
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: activities there.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: It's been a long time coming. I'm I'm from here
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: as most people know. I remember what it was before
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: the Jaguars. I've seen downtown. I've worked downtown for you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: the last twelve years, five years in the nineties. This
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: is the chance for the city to transform downtown and
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: I believe it'll happen, and I hope.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: It'll have All those town halls are available as well.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: We have lists online. You guys can check it out
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: if you want to go and hear a little bit
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: more details about the plans, what exactly that is going
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: to involve. So we'll keep you up to date on
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: all of that stuff. Now, question three for you, John
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: is going to be Shanghai Stevie from Jacksonville, he says.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen love him, but based on what I'm seeing
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: or not seeing, he says, I'd bet he's not in
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the long term plans.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Do you have any insight on that?
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that plays out this year. I mean it's.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a topic all year. He hasn't
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: signed a long term contract. They have a franchise tag
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: available for him if they choose to use it. After
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: this season, he's going into free agency.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I think both Josh and the team realize this decision
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: will probably be made this year. If he has a
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: monster year and it is an elite pass rusher, it's
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: awfully hard not to try to resign him. If he doesn't,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I can see the Jaguars being in sort of a
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: no man's land situation. And what I mean by that is,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: I think Josh is the best defensive player they have.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Watching this team last year, the one guy on defense
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: that you held your breath when he was down and
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: maybe a little bit hurt is you didn't want to
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: lose this guy. He hasn't been a huge SAT guy,
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: but if you don't have him, you lose a lot
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: that you're looking to replace. So I don't know. I
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: don't know if he's in the long term plans. I
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: think it's a topic and I think it plays out
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: this year. And I usually have a gut I don't
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: really have a gut on Josh. I hope he's here.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I really like the guy.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I think so too, and I think they want him.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I think if he has a monster year, it might
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: be even harder to keep him, just because money wise,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, if he goes out and shows out, he's
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: gonna want the highest dollar. And as we mentioned, we're
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: getting into the years where you're gonna have to give
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Trevor a lot of money. You're gonna have to give
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: some of these other guys a lot of money. Is
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: there enough money to go around at this point?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Well, the I don't know.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: With Trevor's contract, if they redo it next year, the
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: cap number for the first couple of years probably won't
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: be astronomical.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: So because you structure it and then you kick a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: lot of money out.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: That's the way they did Mahomes, That's the way they
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: do most of these big quarterbacks. The intriguing thing about
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Josh is if he were to hit, if he were
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: to have hit free agency this year, he's probably the
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: highest paid player on the market now, and some fans
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: when they hear that, can't grasp it. But if other
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: teams are looking at him, they're looking at a guy
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: who is rarely hurt. He was hurt one year and
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: missed half the season. Beyond that, he's always there, he
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: always practices, he's very reliable, great locker room guy, physical specimen,
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: he has some numbers and he's very very good, except
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: his sacked.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Numbers aren't aren't up there.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: He would be really highly paid if he has huge sacks,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: he's going to be he will if he has a
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: huge sack year and the Jaguars don't resign him, he
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: will be one of the biggest free agents hit the
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: market in years.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: So it's an intriguing situation.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: We'll have to see how it plays out. We can
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: play prognosticator, but we don't really know these things, so
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: we'll try to figure it out for you. But at
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: this point, we're just happy to see Josh Allen back
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: in the building. He's happy to be back in the building,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: and we still got one more year at the very least,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: so we'll see what he's able to do production wise
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: this season.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: All right, stay with us.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: We'll give you a little bit of preview what's going
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: to go off for the rest of the week and
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks as well. Summer Move the Freight,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Move the Freight. Magellan Transport voted coolest office space in Jacksonville.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: You can apply online at www dot Magellanlogistics dot com. So,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: as we mentioned, it's minichampweek, not mandatory for everybody, but
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: some of us are here and there are two more
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: days of practice for the rookie, second year players, injured veterans,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: anybody else that just wanted to show up and work out,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and then there's summer break. It really does feel like
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the last couple of days of school, at least for me.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, it's certainly our summer break, and for
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: the players it's really I think fans sometimes lose sight
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: when these guys come back in in March. Uh, they're
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: here and they're not working full days. We're working pretty hard,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: so this is sort of that last time they have
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: until they start packing up the uh the locker.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Room after the season.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: So it's their summer break and they're encouraged to get
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: away and and.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: And be smart. Yes, as my coach always us to
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: say in high school, don't be a statistic.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Oh I like that.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Don't be dumb, be smart. On vacation, have some fun.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: We're gonna work on We're working on some cool stuff.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: We went to Trayvon Walker's hometown a couple of weeks ago,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: so I think that story is gonna come out, John,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: you have a piece of it. We did some video obviously,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: talk to his family. It's so interesting to see where
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: people are actually from originally and kind of see how
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: they've become who they are. And small town, Georgia is
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: where Trayvon is from, Thomaston. We're there for a couple
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: of days and just kind of see how his community.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: They sure love them some Trayon Walker, that's for sure.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: The town has tremendous pride in him, and I think
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: it goes both ways. And it was interesting to talk
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: to Trayvon. He's a quiet guy, as you know, Kay,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: but when he speaks, he has a lot to say.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: And I think people will enjoy your piece that you
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: did with him, and I think they'll tolerate mine.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Oh you're so harsh on yourself, John, I love it
• 32:40
