  Speaker 1: Welcome end of the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review podcast presented
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: by t I a A Bank J P. Shatterick with
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you and today is Friday, August. Then, boy was this
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: an eventful and busy week at t I A a. Bank.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Field will recap it all here, including the Jaguars response
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to social justice initiatives and a narrow Thursday Morning Team vote,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a conversation with the Jaguars COVID nineteen response team, plus
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: quarterback Gardner Minhew and the coaches around him discuss his
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: development in a new offense. Let's start on Monday's Ozone podcast,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: when senior writer John Osier sat down with the big
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: three involved in the Jaguars organization's COVID nineteen planning, Chief
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Legal Officer Mega Parek, Director of player Health and Performance
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Scott Truelock, and associate athletic trainer Cassie It. Tell tell
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: me your role, Mega, as it relates to COVID. What's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the easiest way to describe it? So, I think at
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a general level, the goal that all of us have
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: is just to try and keep as many people as
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: possible safe and healthy so that we can continue to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: operate the business. So I very vividly remember when all
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of this started, because I actually landed on a red
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: eye from Salt Lake City and Scott called and had
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the foresight to realize that we were about to need
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to make some pretty significant decisions as a business and said,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: are you coming in? And I was like, actually was
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: going to go home because I just landed from this
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: red eye. He's like, I think you need to come
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in today. And that was March twelve, and the next day,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: essentially is when we sort of had to shut down
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: our offices in general, and the following week is when
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we really shut things down completely. We never had to,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: but I would say that the biggest skill that we've
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: had to have this entire time is making sure we're
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: communicating with one another, learning as much as possible, and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: then adapting as quickly as we can, because every day,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: every week seems to bring a new NFL memo, some
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: new guidance, and some things that we've had to adjust to.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And it's been that way since March. Yeah. I mean,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: obviously we all look at the pattern in our world
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: as things kind of drifted from Asia back in the wintertime,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and we could kind of see it coming a little
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: bit obviously not knowing exactly how it was gonna impact
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: us or when it was going to impact us. But
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you know, in my role, it's obviously the health and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: safety of the players and all the people who work
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: with the players. Um is always the focus. You know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I will say that obviously no one was prepared for
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: COVID and how it's materialized, but I can say for years,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: if you go back to Merca, you know, the biggest
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: challenge for us has been infectious disease, or it's the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: area that's given us the most concerned because it's quite
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: frankly the area we have the least control over. You know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Orthopedic injuries are scary. Nobody likes an a c L
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: injury or labeled hair on the shoulder, But for us,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: those are somewhat manageable because they're predictable and we can
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: have somewhat control over them. But it's the infectious disease
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that's always scared us. And obviously this has kind of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: been that scenario unfold uh with an infectious disease in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this case in COVID, it's kind of swept through the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: country and affected every part of our life. So from
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the very get go. If you look back, after the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: combine was really things things started to pick up and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: COVID as it applied to American sports, and from that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: time it has been just an all out effort UM
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to try to come up with a solution. And I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: think it's important to note that while this is a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: medical issue, the solution for it, it involves every aspect
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of the organization UM from obviously the administration, operation staff,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: security equipment staff, the strength staff. I mean, every component
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of the organization is required to help solve this issue.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: My role has definitely taken on a new kind of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a new chapter this year, and obviously I was kind
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of added to the team the most recently out of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: everyone on this panel, UM, and so I kind of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: steadily started with COVID over the summer. We UM kind
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of given some tasks here there, and then I've kind
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: of taken it on my primary job. So first thing
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in the morning, it's all about testing, making sure everyone
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: gets the appropriate tests at the appropriate time, appropriate cadence,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and then from there, you know, dealing with positive cases
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and going through all the protocols. So it's it's really
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: about just going through step by step with the protocols
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and and really answering all of the questions that we
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: have as they come about. Every department has several questions
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, several concerns that kind of come up
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: throughout the day as we're we're presenting with new challenges.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of about tackling each one of those
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: as they come up. Catch the full conversation in depth
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: on the ozone podcast, available on the Official Jaguars podcast Network.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Monday afternoon means Jaguars Happy Hour with Tony Boselli, Pete
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Brisco and Yours Truly, and we discussed offensive line coach
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: George Warhop earlier this week saying that Cam Robinson will
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: be the starting left tackle, and we discussed what strides
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Robinson has made so far in training camp. If you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: watch the table, he's playing better. He's the better left
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: tackle right now. So I think it's clear today. I mean,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a competition coming in, but Cam
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is uh from what I've seen in the tape watching
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: one of the ones, and the team work is but
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: works much better. You see worked on he cleaned up.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He looks like he's in shape this year. Um, he
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: looks like a guy who's getting ready to play at
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: his contract. Here is what he looks like to me,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and that's a good thing because Cam's talented. Cam's big, physical, athletic,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, all the things you want. And so I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: think George is right. George Warhopp offense line coach, is
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: dead on that he's gonna be your left tackle. You know.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Let me bring my cynical side out. I think it's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: funny that he said that. The good news is they
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry about any maintenance in the managing
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of Cam because of his need. But then he had
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a maintenance to it. But he was one of the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: guys who had the maintenance day today. Isn't it early
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to crown a champ though, Tony? I mean, we thought
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: he would be the starter. And I wonder if Maron
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was okay with Warhop letting that out. I mean, because
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it hadn't been It hadn't been out until he said it,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and it's not usually line coach. Yeah. I think can
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you imagine if Mike Maser said something like that when
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he was your line coach, the late Mike MASERU he
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: would have I mean, cough would have gone nuts. Here's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a big difference. None of those guys ever talked to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the me. You know, they weren't allowed. Assistant coaches didn't
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: talk to the media, and when Tom was the coach,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: so whenever happened. You know, if you want, if you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: watch practice, I think it's clear that Cam's better. Right now.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Your question about should Warhop has said that or not?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, who knows at this point? How many more
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: practice do you really have? Your? Um? If your wild
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: works in to win the job, I mean, have a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: scrimmage coming up this week, Um, you're gonna have some
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: maintenance days throwing in there at some point, I'm sure.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And you know, and then you start working out, you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: start getting ready for indie game, you know, game week
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: or only three weeks away, Pete, less than three weeks
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: away from you. Yeah. What what happens though? If if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Robinson goes out and is a spinning top in the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: in the scrimmage, I mean, then you got to reevaluate that,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: don't you. UM, I would think so, but you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what conversations are having and you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: uh in the building. I mean right now, if you
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: watch them tape, CAM is clearly better. It's not really
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: close to me and so maybe Georgia just speaking that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Later on the show, both Priscoe and Basselli were blown
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: away by my book select it on the set behind
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: me in the home studio, and Basselli has never heard
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of the broadcaster Red Barber. It's absolutely shameful. The full
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: archive video on Jaguars dot Com and the podcast of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the show always on the official Jaguars podcast network. Let's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: get into the bird dog talk. That's right. Bird Dogs
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: defensive line coach Jason Repreven spoke with the media earlier
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: this week and had quite an interesting response to a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: question about the mindset of the d line this camp.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Is it tough for a position coach not to sit
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: back and say, you know what was me? And when
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you feel a snake bit like that, what's thee best
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: approach you can take with you and your guys. It's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: easy to point a finger, but that's that's not who
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we are. I mean, that's that's not you know my
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: dad raised me. I my dad, Uh, my dad raised
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: bird dogs when I was a kid, and uh, you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: his his deal was if if you shot a shotgun
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and that dog shied away, that dog wasn't a bird dog. Anymore.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So you know, you could sit there and say, hey,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: these are the guys it we got or or these
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: are the people that we have and uh, you know
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you you shoot those shotguns off and you say, hey,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: let's let's let's go, let's blast, and let's get out
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: there and play with whatever which ones we got out there? Mark,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I assume you put the handback up for a dog question,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you know me, Well, Dad, absolutely, you got to go
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: back to bird dog. And I mean, like seriously, that's
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: what your dad did for a living or just a hobby. Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: it was a living in a hobby. You know. I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: grew up next to a milk farm and my dad,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: uh was more of a carpenter by trade. But uh,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you know we had everything that you could think of,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: from a garden to two rabbits obviously bird dogs and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: uh but yeah, I was around Britney spaniels for a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: long time as as a little kid, and uh I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: figured out at a young age that uh that working
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: dogs do not have a name. They are they're strictly
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a working dog. Following up on a de are you
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: still into that at this? At this I mean was
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that long gone? Don't know what time don't have interest. Yeah,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it's funny you say that. You know this is probably
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: my uh twenty second or something twenty third year coaching
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and I've missed uh opening day of hunting season for
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: twenty three straight years now, so um yeah, you know
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: obviously it's uh I love do it, you know. Uh.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Luckily I have three kids, and they watched the Outdoor
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Channel with me, and UH have aspirations of of having
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and fulfilling that stuff with them hopefully someday. But uh,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I haven't fulfilled a lot of bird hunting stories as
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: as much as I did as a kid. Full press
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: availabilities available East Day on Jaguars dot Com. We moved
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: now to general manager Dave Caldwell, who joined Jeff Lagaman
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and Me Thursday afternoon in place of the head coach
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on the Doug Maron Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: It's obviously a different preseason because there is no preseason,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: no games, no tape to look at players and other teams.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So what it's time to cut players and look at
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the leagu's waiver wire for past sable talent to join
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars. The scouting is all of a sudden much
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: different than before. You know, do you look back at
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the old tape, do you look back at college tape?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Where are you kind of without giving up your train secrets,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: how do you scout here? Know? It's fair and I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: can tell you and and we've had this talk with
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of our media people too,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and it's been it's been an interesting process. And what
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: we really did was you probably look at the players
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: drafting and fourth route or higher are going to make
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: their teams, so we don't spend a lot of time
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in those guys. But what we did was we took
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you know, players rounds five through seven and and all
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the college free agents and and the the scouts that
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: were assigned those teams. We made him evaluate those guys
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: over the summer. And and now it's just tracking those
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: those players and tracking some of guys like Jeff Logoman
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: on Twitter and J. P. Shadrick on Twitter and seeing
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you know who they're talking about, you know, late round
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: guys and you guys better around football long enough. So
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that's why I kind of asked some some of our guys,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: if you know, not talk about our college frees and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: are l a draftabole pick so much? Uh? Twitter or
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: put video out there. But those are the things that
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: we have to look at this year, and and it
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: kind of just track, you know, team by team, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: every scout has a couple of teams and they're looking
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: at the guys that we think are on the bubble
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to make the team on top of possibly some salary
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: cut cap guys and and maybe some veterans that may
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: be on the bubble. So the veterans are easy because
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: generally have a video from them in the past and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in years a lot of these college free agents and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they draftable picks. We really have to go off to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: college stuff this year. When we return, the work continues
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: for quarterback gardnerment show in a new offense, plus his

• 12:44
  Speaker 1: McAdoo enters his first season as the Jaguars quarterbacks coach.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It's after a couple of years away from the game
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: after being fired with Big Blue, and on Jaguars Happy
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Our Wednesday, NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks, John Osier and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I discussed what McAdoo can bring to the jag were
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: signal callers you know? I told guys the other day.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I would have took a job coaching a monkey how
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to do hop scotch if I had to. You know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to get back in. I love coaching,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and I just love seeing and being around players and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: helping them get better, doing everything I can to help
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: those guys get better. And uh, you know, I look forward. Uh,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I look forward to doing it. I'm not sure exactly
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: what a monkey doing hop scotch would look like, but
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: it's obvious that he wanted to get back in the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: game of football after being out a couple of years.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: What about his personality, Bucky, You know, it was a
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: tough go of it in New York did not end well.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Of course, a big blue there a couple of years
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: off might change your perspective on things a bit. And
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: now you get to come back in as a position
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: coach and groom a young quarterback that that hopefully is
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the future. Yeah. I was to say that Ben McAdoo
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: gets to go back and kind of go back into
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a position that is is tied to the stress of
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: his character and his personality. He's an outstanding teacher and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: quarterback developer. Spend time in Green Bay, worked up under
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy understands how to deal with the quarterback position,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and I think he's going to be a great addition
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: for garden mention because in Green Bay for the longest
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: time to have what they called the Quarterback School, which
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: is really an intensive study and breakdown on footwork fundamentals
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and efficiency. He did a terrific job with Eli Manning
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of making Eli a more efficient passer, really encouraged him
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to use the running backs out the backfield. And so
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: when you think about Ben macadoo and Jay Gruden, I
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: think we can understand how this offense is going to look.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And with Chris Thompson and also Leonard for neck catching
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the ball out the backfield, you could see this offense
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: be a more efficient version of the offense that we
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: saw a year ago. Head coaching position coach are two
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: completely different jobs. I've got no zone emails saying well,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: why would they hire this guy? Didn't make it. None
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of that matters when it comes to coaching position. But
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Bucky's exactly right that he can obviously coach quarterback. He's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: been around great quarterbacks, which can't hurt when you're going
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to Gardener and saying, look, Here's what we did with
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Here's here's what you do with the Eli Manning.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Anytime you can add veteran experience, which is what McAdoo
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and Gruden are, I'm all for it. You know, the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: quarterback couldn't be in better hands considering where they were
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: when they started this offseason. The search process to get
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to experienced guys with this level experience to work with
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the young quarterback. You know, uh, it's probably the most experience,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the most veteran sage heads, whatever you call that. The
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: quarterback has had this franchise in all a long time.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I don't see how it doesn't help partner menshow Bucky Brooks,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a new addition for US, joins us each Wednesday at
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: four o'clock on Jaguars Happy Hour on at Jaguars on
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: social channels and Jaguars dot Com. Staying at the quarterback position.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Fresh off a new bud Light Fantasy football campaign, quarterback
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew met the me be a Friday, and he
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: explained that training camp is always a work in progress.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: You know, as you figured things out, there's new things
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that come up every day. Um, and that's, you know
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: what they've always said is you know, each day have
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: have new things to work on, have new problems, make
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: new mistakes. I think it's big. You know, once you
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: identify what you're messing up on, address it, and then
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: hopefully that's no longer an issue, and you know you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: can move on to whatever you do wrong next. And
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: what area do you feel you've made the most progress on.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest things is just chemistry with the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: receivers and learning the timing when within the offense. Uh.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: You know, anytime you have new receivers and new plays,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: new route combinations, the timing is just different. Um. You know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: where you know people end up throughout the play, the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: spacing um and then where each galle kind of likes
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the ball on where you need to put it depending
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: on the play. I think all those things are things
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that you can only do through live reps. Offensive coordinator
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Jake Ruden also spoke Friday and was asked about where
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Minshew is so far in this offense and the other
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the room, Lennon, Dobbs and Luton. I just
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: want to seek Gardner continue his process. You know, it's uh,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you know, we're just putting one block on top of another.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Right now, and and he's doing a good job. He's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: uh got the meat and potatoes of the offense right now,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and we just gotta continue to develop some consistency with
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: his progressions as reads, his footwork, is protection, uh, knowledge,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: all that stuff that the quarterback has has to handle,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: snap count, um, all the little things. I had got
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to see him continue to do better and and dominate
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage pre snap and then post snap,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: do the right thing with the football and go from there.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: But I've been impressed with them. As far as the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: rest of the the quarterbacks, I tell you what, they've all
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: done something good. They've all uh shown us that they
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: belong in the National Football League, and that is uh.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough call. Mike Glennon has really
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: come on the last four or five days. He's throwing
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the ball extremely well. Jake has been very impressive since
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a minity walked into the building with his knowledge of
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the offense as a bill to learn is the ability
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to throw the ball down the field, short passes with
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: touch uh. And obviously Josh Dobbs has done some really
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: really good things as well. So we feel really good
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: about the quarterback room. But as far as ranking them
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: right now, we still have time. We're still in the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: process of evaluating everybody. Uh, and hopefully it'll play out.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: But uh, like I said, I've been impressed with all
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of them. Plenty good from the quarterbacks so far in
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: training camp. Now on to Thursday, and quite an interesting
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: day for the Jaguars at t i a A Bank Field.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Wednesday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks walked off the floor at
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the Bubble in Orlando in protest to the Jacob Blake
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and that prompted the NBA to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: postpone all playoff games that day and even the next.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Some Major League Baseball teams stepped away as well, and
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions decided as a team to skip practice
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Tuesday in response. After a team day off Wednesday, the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Jaguars met Thursday morning to open a dialogue about a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: possible team response. The meeting went so long that Doug
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Brone had to postpone his eight fifty am media availability,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and the practice time came and went. The Jaguars did
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: finally hit the practice field at eleven twenty five am,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: but after a long morning of conversations and a team vote.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Head coach j barn explained after practice and we met
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: as a team together, coaches, players, myself, we you know,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: addressed you know a lot of issues where you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: we find ourselves back to where we were, you know,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, you know, discussing these things.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: You know, it's always you know, interesting that you know
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of individuals get up there, including myself, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: we share, you know, personal stories of how things affected
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: us in our lives. We share, you know, what we think,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you know, it was needed for change, and you know,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I think we have a fact fact I know, we
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: have a good understanding of what's not acceptable you know
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: in our country today. You know today, you know, decisions
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to go out and practice. I'm sure there was players
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: that didn't want to practice, maybe the as coaches, maybe
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: it was everyone. I don't. I don't know, But what
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I do know is that we're able to express a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: lot of opinions, a lot of emotion at the end
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: of the day, somehow, you know, come together and go
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: out there. And I think that somewhere along the line,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: we've got to figure that out because obviously we want
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to do something that's that's actionable. Something that you know,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: could could create change. I can't even can't even explain
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: what really put it to words to the emotion of sadness, frustration, confusion,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And when I talk about confusion, please don't don't ever
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: think that I'm not committed to the support and making
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: this this change. Where I beat myself up. It is like,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you know, when you're a position of leadership or you
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: know you have a voice within the team, you want
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, show a path, show
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: away you you you listen and you just and right now,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I don't know what you know
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: what that path is, but we are committed, you know,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: as a team defining it and committing to taking the time,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you know, to get it done. Wide receiver Chris Conley
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: was a leading voice during the Jaguars march after the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: George Floyd shooting in Minneapolis over the summer, and again
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: led the way. This time he explained it a little
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: more detail. What happened to put the Jaguars on the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: practice field Thursday. Man, what a day today. The the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: building in the locker room was somewhat of a microcosm
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of what's been going on in this country for weeks
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and months, but the outcome could be taken in multiple ways.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You could take it in a way to say, oh,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: they weren't united, they were split. You know that the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: vote to whether on whether or not to practice or
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: not or just to really just continue the conversation came
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: down to one vote, thirty six to thirty seven. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: you can look at that as a negative, or you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: can look at the fact that the discourse was happening
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and the disagreement was happening, but people decided to band
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: together and stick together and see the positives in that.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: You could look at the people who don't have the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: same experience or background as other people in the locker
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: room and who said, hey, I want to sit down
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: with you and talk and and come to a better
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: understanding of what it is that makes you feel so strongly,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that's a positive. Quite frankly, if I'm honest, I don't
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: know exactly how I feel right now. There's a sense
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: of sadness. But at the same time, when something happens
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: a lot, you can grow numb ah to it, and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: that's not a place that that I or anyone else
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: in in this building want to be. And quite frankly,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: We've had conversation time and time again on what can
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: we do that's actionable, and you've come up with ideas,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: but ultimately the thing that we have all agreed on
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: is that we can't stop pressing until things happen. You know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: it's not something that will happen overnight, but we can
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: allow ourselves to let life happen in us to forget.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So um, I'll answer questions that you have, but that
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: being said, everyone doesn't have all the answers right now,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: but we're doing our best to grapple with with the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: events of the past week and of really the past
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: months and years and experiences of our lives. The full
