1:27
Speaker 1: the Associated Press put out a screen shot of Charles
1:31
Speaker 1: Jones's Instagram a tight end out of New Orleans and
1:37
Speaker 1: Tu Lane and there was a meeting. There was a
1:39
Speaker 1: photo of him and one box and Shot con on
1:41
Speaker 1: the other box, and apparently yesterday Jaguars on her shot
1:44
Speaker 1: con I met with the Jaguars team over zoom. Around
1:49
Speaker 1: one hundred people involved, players, coaches, staff around the team
1:52
Speaker 1: as well. And basically, Shot Kan did what he said
1:56
Speaker 1: he would do. He talked with the players and listened,
1:59
Speaker 1: and he see us about the change happening, and we'll
2:02
Speaker 1: see what the next steps are. But following up on
2:04
Speaker 1: his op ed from last week, Shot John sitting down
2:08
Speaker 1: with his team this week, John Osier joins us now
2:12
Speaker 1: senior writer Jaguars dot Com. Back yet again, here we are, John.
2:16
Speaker 1: What's up? John? Are good? How are you? How are you? Sir? Good? Good?
2:25
Speaker 1: Ray Talk Football, Ray talktions day. Yeah. Well, um, we'll
2:29
Speaker 1: get to that. You know, there's there's a lot between
2:33
Speaker 1: now and that to come. Um, let's start with everything
2:36
Speaker 1: that's happened the last week or so since this program,
2:39
Speaker 1: there have been two Jaguars involved marches. One of those
2:43
Speaker 1: from the stadium to j s SO last Friday, and
2:46
Speaker 1: then on Tuesday, Leonard for that with the mayor and
2:49
Speaker 1: the sheriff and a little duval had a meaning on
2:53
Speaker 1: the front steps of the city Hall and then they
2:56
Speaker 1: had to march downtown. Leonard fet spoke after the fact
2:59
Speaker 1: as well, it's a lot going on, a lot of
3:02
Speaker 1: moving pieces right now, and it seems like the Jaguars
3:06
Speaker 1: are that the players are certainly involved in this heavily,
3:10
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's going to slow down at all.
3:11
Speaker 1: The momentum is there now. And you were at both events, JP,
3:16
Speaker 1: and you know it's uh, it just strikes you that
3:20
Speaker 1: right now, it's uh. The focuses on how do we
3:25
Speaker 1: continue and make this unbelievable uh change and unbelievable awareness
3:35
Speaker 1: and conversation, I guess the best way to put it,
3:38
Speaker 1: how do we have that continue to be productive and
3:42
Speaker 1: continue to make a difference, you know all tease the
3:46
Speaker 1: Other Zone podcast next week a little bit next week.
3:49
Speaker 1: So I've done podcast, talked to Mars Pollard and Terror
3:52
Speaker 1: of Uh and I think people who watched it on
3:56
Speaker 1: Friday realized that Terror of Bisky, who's sixty five years old,
4:00
Speaker 1: forty five years in the league. Lane Black, coach of
4:02
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, was incredibly moved and sincere about what the
4:09
Speaker 1: Jaguars is a team. Doug Morown shot con the players,
4:13
Speaker 1: how this had come together, and how um open and
4:18
Speaker 1: honest and sincere on shot Con and Dug Maro owns
4:21
Speaker 1: part as to have these conversations to make a difference.
4:25
Speaker 1: So I hope people listen to that podcast because it
4:27
Speaker 1: really expanded on a lot of what was said at
4:29
Speaker 1: these at these marches in a way that maybe is
4:33
Speaker 1: uh able to go a little deeper. But I think
4:37
Speaker 1: that's the idea right now, is the conversations and the
4:42
Speaker 1: willingness to talk about these what has been for years
4:46
Speaker 1: sensitive awkward issues is incredibly uh, you know accepting. Right
4:53
Speaker 1: now people are are wanting to have a conversation. How
4:57
Speaker 1: do they continue that and make it all matter? All right?
5:01
Speaker 1: That is what I feel like the tone I'm sure
5:04
Speaker 1: dot com was on Zoom called players yesterday. That's where
5:07
Speaker 1: they're trying to get to. Next, we'll hear some of
5:10
Speaker 1: those speeches from the last few days coming up. In
5:13
Speaker 1: the next segment, we'll hear from Terry Rabiscue as well.
5:16
Speaker 1: His speech on the steps at j s O last Friday.
5:18
Speaker 1: As you mentioned there, John will we'll hear the entire
5:21
Speaker 1: speech of him and Chris Connelly coming up. Then we'll
5:23
Speaker 1: also hear Leonard four Nette and Mayor Curry. And as
5:27
Speaker 1: you mentioned, for for this to really move forward and
5:30
Speaker 1: carry that momentum um, there has to be a purpose.
5:34
Speaker 1: And uh you know ye that the purpose is fine,
5:37
Speaker 1: but have a little teeth behind the purpose, right if
5:40
Speaker 1: for lack of a term. Now, that's what Leonard Fournette's
5:43
Speaker 1: did on Tuesday. First off, it was supposed to be
5:46
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette starting downtown leading a march right then the
5:50
Speaker 1: night before Mary Curry says, hey, I'll be joining Leonard Fournette.
5:53
Speaker 1: And then you heard that Sheriff Mike Williams was going
5:55
Speaker 1: to be there. Will duvall the whole rest and then
5:59
Speaker 1: the hours leading up to that event, the statue is
6:03
Speaker 1: taken down in him and Plaza downtown. There was a
6:06
Speaker 1: lot of news moving in a in a lot of
6:09
Speaker 1: a short period of time there. But what if for
6:11
Speaker 1: net with the mayor of the city, with the sheriff.
6:14
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can get much bigger than
6:16
Speaker 1: that at this time now, And you know, I give
6:19
Speaker 1: a Leonard for not a lot of credit. I mean
6:21
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know he has had since he's been here. Uh,
6:26
Speaker 1: things that everything's have been said about, you know, all
6:29
Speaker 1: the stuff that happened in his first couple of years.
6:33
Speaker 1: Just in the last couple of weeks or months, you know,
6:37
Speaker 1: the Jaguars decided not to pick up the fifty year option,
6:40
Speaker 1: which certainly leaves his future with the team. You know,
6:44
Speaker 1: you just don't know. He hasn't signed a long term
6:47
Speaker 1: perhaps he will, perhaps he won't, but still to make
6:51
Speaker 1: the commitment to the city to call this his second home.
6:56
Speaker 1: You know that he could have easily done that in
6:58
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge or you know where he grew up, where
7:04
Speaker 1: he is absolutely a legend, very comfortable to do that, then, um,
7:11
Speaker 1: you need to here. So a lot of credit to him,
7:15
Speaker 1: you know, I've been around him. To me, it was
7:20
Speaker 1: desolutely fantastic that he did that here. I thought the
7:23
Speaker 1: words that he used, the things that he said, uh,
7:27
Speaker 1: you know, made perfect sense to getting the mayor involved.
7:30
Speaker 1: All that. Again, two weeks ago, you couldn't imagine the
7:36
Speaker 1: situations happening in the way they played out, the growth
7:39
Speaker 1: all of that when I talked to Marcus in Terry
7:42
Speaker 1: on on this called I'll refer to that and some
7:45
Speaker 1: of things that that are really interesting. Marcus talked a lot,
7:49
Speaker 1: and I think when I would say the same thing
7:50
Speaker 1: and now is when it gets difficult because the tendency
7:56
Speaker 1: of things like this is you have a couple of mark,
8:00
Speaker 1: you make some very public play, and then you get
8:03
Speaker 1: back to life. Okay, it's football season, we're getting back.
8:07
Speaker 1: Everybody involves is saying, how do we make sure that
8:10
Speaker 1: this passion, this discussion keeps going once it's not our
8:16
Speaker 1: daily focus. So again, so the same way answered the
8:19
Speaker 1: first question. I think that's what everybody's thinking about. Now. Look,
8:23
Speaker 1: there's the football season we play. We know this stuff
8:24
Speaker 1: has to happen. How do we continue to march strong
8:28
Speaker 1: or to walk strong on this when it's not when
8:32
Speaker 1: the emotion of the first wave of the moment is gone,
8:36
Speaker 1: as Connelly said, making a movement, not a moment, that's
8:38
Speaker 1: probably the best way to Johnson, with US senior writer
8:43
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, not a football john the off season
8:47
Speaker 1: program coming to an end well. Tom Peli Sero of
8:50
Speaker 1: NFL Network reporting this week that the NFL has notified teams.
8:55
Speaker 1: The virtual period for the off season work will be
8:57
Speaker 1: extended through JU but no in person mini camps this month,
9:02
Speaker 1: so clubs have the option now John to extend their
9:04
Speaker 1: virtual offseason program another two weeks or discontinue it after
9:09
Speaker 1: this week. Curious what the Jags will do and as
9:13
Speaker 1: we had mentioned the last week or two, doesn't sound
9:16
Speaker 1: like there'll be anything on the unfield this offseason program,
9:20
Speaker 1: and it's winding down a bit here. Yeah, it feels
9:25
Speaker 1: like there's always been. Maybe people don't really get because
9:31
Speaker 1: it's not very publicized, but usually ok, and mini campaign
9:34
Speaker 1: this week that's when or many campaigns and o tas
9:37
Speaker 1: are over. The processes that we all write about and
9:41
Speaker 1: talk about kind of stopped this wee getting all off season,
9:44
Speaker 1: but the rookies stay around for a couple of more
9:48
Speaker 1: weeks to get further acclimated to me with Marcus Pollard,
9:52
Speaker 1: to actually player development, to get to get their feet wet.
9:55
Speaker 1: You know, I would use the phrase to keep finding
9:57
Speaker 1: out where the bathrooms are, just short of know you
10:00
Speaker 1: way around in the NFL before camp starts, which comes
10:02
Speaker 1: up fast. My impression is leading the social off season
10:07
Speaker 1: open gives them, gives teams a chance to continue that process.
10:13
Speaker 1: It gives teams a chance to continue meeting with veterans
10:15
Speaker 1: who want to be involved with it. I don't have
10:17
Speaker 1: the information on I think Dog is gonna speak tomorrow
10:21
Speaker 1: or I'm sure we'll speak at some point soon. I'm
10:23
Speaker 1: sure he'll tell us exactly how much meetings they're going
10:27
Speaker 1: to have, how this will continue. But you know, I
10:31
Speaker 1: have thought for a while that it would be training
10:33
Speaker 1: camp before we see players on the field in any
10:35
Speaker 1: kind of an official capacity, and uh, you know, unfortunately, unfortunately,
10:40
Speaker 1: it feels like that. There's also some reports this week
10:43
Speaker 1: John that the league and the players Association are discussing
10:46
Speaker 1: trimming the preseason down to two games. Um. That would
10:50
Speaker 1: be quite a change, I think a change that a
10:53
Speaker 1: lot of folks around the league would enjoy. Um. But hey,
10:57
Speaker 1: you know, that's a that's a huge move considering everything
11:00
Speaker 1: that's happened the last few months. Well, so much of
11:04
Speaker 1: this and I'm not a scientist or a doctor, but
11:08
Speaker 1: with COVID, so much of it is reduced, the risk
11:12
Speaker 1: as much as possible, reduced people being in contact because
11:16
Speaker 1: as much as possible, so the NFL wants to play
11:18
Speaker 1: a regular season. So in the time leading up to that,
11:24
Speaker 1: I've heard some people say, well, they're being too cautious
11:26
Speaker 1: and all this, I would assume from the NFL's point
11:28
Speaker 1: of view, there's no such thing as too cautious in this.
11:31
Speaker 1: So one more cautious step is instead of having these
11:37
Speaker 1: guys in a full contact, no holds barred, breathing and
11:41
Speaker 1: sweating on each other situation, Uh, let's give that another
11:46
Speaker 1: two weeks, three weeks, because this whole thing has happened
11:50
Speaker 1: in three week periods because of the quarantine. You get
11:53
Speaker 1: a self quarantine if somebody comes up positive. Let's give
11:57
Speaker 1: ourselves one more three weeks, four weeks segment. Uh, because
12:01
Speaker 1: so much has changed in that period of time. So
12:04
Speaker 1: often during all this, the more time, the better, it
12:06
Speaker 1: feels like to me, Yeah, and you hit it right
12:09
Speaker 1: on the hedge. H on. The regular season games are
12:12
Speaker 1: the ones that bring in the TV money. That's how
12:15
Speaker 1: that works. So they're the ones. And I think we
12:22
Speaker 1: saw in two thousand and eleven when everything was sort
12:25
Speaker 1: of coruncated and there was no off season because of
12:29
Speaker 1: the lockout. At the very beginning of that season, there
12:34
Speaker 1: was a sense of Okay, the first couple of games,
12:36
Speaker 1: maybe a little sloppier because there's been no off season.
12:39
Speaker 1: Maybe you make that argument, but by the end of
12:42
Speaker 1: the season, I don't think anybody was thinking about that
12:46
Speaker 1: being a a different sort of season. The lockout hadn't
12:49
Speaker 1: effected that. I think there was the year the Giants
12:51
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots. That season, in terms of history, is
12:55
Speaker 1: not viewed with an asteroid. There's no difference. I don't
12:58
Speaker 1: think losing a couple of pre seas games and maybe
13:01
Speaker 1: having a little bit of slopping us at the start
13:04
Speaker 1: is going to affect how people feel about this season.
13:07
Speaker 1: Their idea is, let's get sixteen regular seasons, then let's
13:11
Speaker 1: get the playoffs in, and let's have this as normal
13:14
Speaker 1: as possible in what obviously won't be a normal season.
13:18
Speaker 1: John Ozan, Weather's senior writer Jaguars dot Com. The Jags
13:21
Speaker 1: announced today that Doug Marone and Todd wash the defensive coordinator,
13:25
Speaker 1: will speak with the media. Tomorrow's the final time in
13:27
Speaker 1: the off season program that head coach Doug Marone will
13:30
Speaker 1: speak of the media. It's been every other Friday or
13:33
Speaker 1: so this off season, and since the last time he
13:36
Speaker 1: spoke with the media. Uh he spoke at the at
13:40
Speaker 1: the rally on last Friday, but of course that was
13:43
Speaker 1: all around that rally. We'll hear a little football stuff tomorrow.
13:47
Speaker 1: I'm I'm interested in how this week has gone since then.
13:50
Speaker 1: Now the conversations have have built around everything going on
13:54
Speaker 1: right now on this football team, and then it's the
13:57
Speaker 1: last chance to get with him in the off season.
13:59
Speaker 1: So what on would you like to hear from Doug Morale?
14:03
Speaker 1: Good question me, Like everybody's so focused on non football topic,
14:08
Speaker 1: haven't thought about that much. Um, you know, you know,
14:12
Speaker 1: I think people are gonna want to find out now
14:15
Speaker 1: that you've seen the off season. It hasn't been on
14:18
Speaker 1: the field. But the storyline is sort of being Gardner
14:20
Speaker 1: Minshew taking over a lot of Zoom meetings by himself,
14:25
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew being very much he has to have found
14:30
Speaker 1: a way or it sounds like he has found a
14:32
Speaker 1: way to make it as much his team as possible
14:36
Speaker 1: in a virtual way. And I think now that Doug's
14:39
Speaker 1: seen the entirety of that, I'm sure he'll speak to that.
14:43
Speaker 1: Uh beyond that, really, the Zoom calls on Friday JB
14:48
Speaker 1: they haven't been incredibly newsworthy in terms of football because
14:53
Speaker 1: the coach is getting on there and talking about how
14:55
Speaker 1: he gotta how he held a teleconference with some players.
14:59
Speaker 1: So it's not a whole lot of news out of that,
15:03
Speaker 1: but I do think you'll hear. I think Todd may
15:07
Speaker 1: be more interesting for me football Newsy point of view,
15:10
Speaker 1: because I'm sure he's gonna get asked, what in the
15:13
Speaker 1: world defense are you're actually running? There's been all this
15:15
Speaker 1: talk about that, you know, so I'm sure that's gonna
15:17
Speaker 1: be a topic. I think fans football on it one
15:20
Speaker 1: type of probably last on the more of that, maybe
15:23
Speaker 1: it's an insight into how Todd and Doug Bows feel
15:26
Speaker 1: about what exactly are they going to try to do defensively.
15:30
Speaker 1: My guests JP if they won't say very much, I
15:32
Speaker 1: was gonna say you you might ask, but you might
15:34
Speaker 1: not find out either. That's okay, right, Yeah. I don't
15:37
Speaker 1: think Todd's going to get on the white board and
15:40
Speaker 1: and explain exactly where Josh Allen's gonna line up on
15:44
Speaker 1: every play. And I guess is that won't happen. Virtual
15:46
Speaker 1: whiteboard that's what we're gonna have tomorrow with Todd watching.
15:48
Speaker 1: Of course that's not going to happen, but it'll be
15:51
Speaker 1: good to hear from him and head coach Jack Moron tomorrow. Oh,
15:54
Speaker 1: we'll look forward to that podcast next week. It comes
15:56
Speaker 1: out on Mondays On Podcast this week with Terry Robiski
16:00
Speaker 1: and Marcus Pollard. Good stuff, it's honestly, it's it's really
16:07
Speaker 1: worth the listen because they really went into detail about
16:10
Speaker 1: how it kind of came together and played out and
16:13
Speaker 1: these feelings behind it as it approached. So I certainly
16:17
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I learned something I think people will too.
16:19
Speaker 1: But thank you. Oh, just have a great weekend, alright,
16:23
Speaker 1: Buddy John Osan senior writer Jaguars dot Com joining us

16:29
Speaker 1: it will be um curious to hear what Todd wash
16:32
Speaker 1: has to say. Haven't heard from him on the record
16:35
Speaker 1: this really this entire offseason. What have they been up
16:38
Speaker 1: to at defensive meeting room. Will find out a little
16:40
Speaker 1: bit of that tomorrow. And of course Doug Moron, I'm
16:42
Speaker 1: sure we'll be asked about the last week or so
16:45
Speaker 1: with his football team and um, how the group maybe
16:50
Speaker 1: has come together, not that they weren't before, but this
16:53
Speaker 1: kind of thing can bring a group together and how
16:56
Speaker 1: they're gonna move ahead. Maybe we'll find out tomorrow morning
16:59
Speaker 1: about him. Thirty or so. I think the scheduled time
17:02

Speaker 1: the eventful week, Tropical Smoothie Cafe is open for business

Speaker 1: online ordering, and drive through service. Tropical Smoothie appreciates your
21:44
Speaker 1: continued support our thanks to John Osier, Jaguars dot com
21:48
Speaker 1: senior writer for joining us. As we said, it has
21:52
Speaker 1: been an eventful week, and it started really a little
21:55
Speaker 1: over a week ago and Jaguar's owner shot con road
21:59
Speaker 1: and released an op ed piece describing his background, his history,
22:03
Speaker 1: and his vision for moving ahead, including with the players
22:08
Speaker 1: and coaches and staff on his football team. And then
22:11
Speaker 1: on Friday, Jacks players, coaches, in front office staff march
22:15
Speaker 1: from t I a bank field of the steps of
22:17
Speaker 1: the j s O about a mile away. Before the march,
22:20
Speaker 1: D J. Churt spoke, Josh Lambeau spoke, former lineman and
22:24
Speaker 1: our team chaplain Maurice Williams addressed the crowd as well.
22:28
Speaker 1: And then once after steps, former Jaguars tied in and
22:30
Speaker 1: now j s O officer Ernest Wilford spoke briefly to
22:34
Speaker 1: that group assembled and he said that their messages will
22:37
Speaker 1: be conveyed inside the j S. So then it was
22:41
Speaker 1: time for Jack's running backs coach Terry Robisky. Now a
22:43
Speaker 1: little background if you're not familiar with Robisky. He joined
22:46
Speaker 1: the team before the last season, before the twenty nineteen campaign.
22:50
Speaker 1: He's from Louisiana. He signed with l s U and
22:53
Speaker 1: the signing class of seventy three, only two years after
22:56
Speaker 1: l s U signed their first African American players. By
22:58
Speaker 1: the way, he was an eighth round pick of the Raiders.
23:02
Speaker 1: Played for the Raiders and Dolphins in his career. Now
23:05
Speaker 1: that career was injury shortened a bit after five seasons,
23:09
Speaker 1: but he immediately went into coaching in the NFL and
23:11
Speaker 1: he's been in the NFL as an assistant since nineteen two.
23:15
Speaker 1: Think about that for a while. Long career and his
23:18
Speaker 1: perspective for what is happening in the NFL and around
23:22
Speaker 1: this movement is certainly rare. Here's what Robiski said on
23:25
Speaker 1: the steps last Friday. I guess as the vegean, the
23:29
Speaker 1: veteran on his staff, the old the guy get to
23:30
Speaker 1: do it is. But just to touch a little bit
23:33
Speaker 1: on what Marcus talked about. Marcus spoke earlier. He spoke
23:37
Speaker 1: about his his grandmother, say, his grandmother was in a
23:41
Speaker 1: march and she got spent on a couple of times.
23:44
Speaker 1: I feel like I was in in March with her.
23:46
Speaker 1: I've been doing these for so long. Uh, I was
23:49
Speaker 1: in my first march. I think back in nineteen sixty seven,
23:54
Speaker 1: nine six, the first time we had a march, and
23:59
Speaker 1: I've been through about three or four NFL strikes since then.
24:04
Speaker 1: I've had a bunch of marches since then. A little
24:07
Speaker 1: bit of what Josh was speaking on is as Americans,
24:11
Speaker 1: I think march is a way we have to let
24:15
Speaker 1: our voice be heard. And all those places I've been,
24:18
Speaker 1: this is my I think my eight NFL team I've
24:21
Speaker 1: been with, and I think the biggest thing for me
24:24
Speaker 1: was sitting on the sitting in a meeting on Tuesday
24:28
Speaker 1: and they hear the head coach, the head coach of
24:31
Speaker 1: the organization step up and say we're gonna say something.
24:35
Speaker 1: I think as we all travel through life, we see
24:38
Speaker 1: we see actors, we see actresses, we see athletes, we
24:42
Speaker 1: see people all the time as an individual making statement.
24:46
Speaker 1: We see, Uh, some big name actors step out front
24:50
Speaker 1: and get arrested for what they believe in because they
24:52
Speaker 1: want to make a statement. We see Lebron James say things,
24:56
Speaker 1: we see Floyd mill Weather say things. This is the
25:00
Speaker 1: first time I can tell you, guys, in my lifetime,
25:06
Speaker 1: I felt the organization, an organization said something. To have
25:14
Speaker 1: a head coach to step up with his family, to
25:18
Speaker 1: have a general manager to speak to all the players
25:23
Speaker 1: in white and said we're gonna make a statement. I
25:28
Speaker 1: have never in my forty five years in the NFL,
25:33
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. And then I have the owner
25:36
Speaker 1: to come out and release the article he released and
25:40
Speaker 1: the racism that he felt and he still feels today
25:44
Speaker 1: was unbelievable to the city of Jacksonville. I'm gonna say,
25:48
Speaker 1: we're here today as this group, all of Jacksonville, be proud.
25:53
Speaker 1: You have something I promised to be brought off. Everybody
25:56
Speaker 1: walking out here that they have a shirt on and
25:58
Speaker 1: they said black lives matter m and it does. I
26:01
Speaker 1: swear to God, I'm black. My kids are black. I'll
26:05
Speaker 1: tell Josh, Josh, you may not see the results from this,
26:10
Speaker 1: but your grandkids will, your kids will, their kids will.
26:15
Speaker 1: We're watching today because a black man got killed and
26:18
Speaker 1: it started with that. And I know these T shirts
26:22
Speaker 1: read black lives Matter. Life is all we got. Every
26:29
Speaker 1: life matter. I think Jodine knows me well enough to
26:33
Speaker 1: know if he was in the building and he was
26:36
Speaker 1: burned down, I'd go get him. Todd Walston, his life
26:40
Speaker 1: matters to me. I worried with him every day when
26:43
Speaker 1: that Moti stacly Rise, Joe Danna. I love the people.
26:48
Speaker 1: I love guys. Y'all we got is each other, stay together,
26:54
Speaker 1: stick together, stand for what you believe in, and f
26:59
Speaker 1: the rest of it. Terry Robosky, Jars running backs coach.
27:05
Speaker 1: That was on Friday at the steps of the Jacksonville
27:10
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office as part of a few different speakers there,
27:14
Speaker 1: but it concluded on the steps with Jaguars wide receiver
27:18
Speaker 1: Chris Conley. Powerful speech from Conley, uh. He stepped to
27:23
Speaker 1: the microphone and and explains some of the history behind
27:27
Speaker 1: why this movement now might have more momentum than really
27:31
Speaker 1: anytime in this generation that I remember. He also explained
27:36
Speaker 1: more of the meaning behind the movement and what to expect.
27:41
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to keep this um as short as
27:44
Speaker 1: I can. There's a wealth of a welling up of
27:49
Speaker 1: emotions that has swept over me the past week. Um,
27:54
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm just gonna do my best to uh
27:57
Speaker 1: keep things short. But I had to write it down
27:59
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to get up here and just
28:02
Speaker 1: just have all that emotion overflow. Um. But watching watching
28:06
Speaker 1: the events that have happened with a Mad Aubrey, and
28:10
Speaker 1: starting with the mod Aubrey the video when it got released,
28:13
Speaker 1: I sat in my house upstairs, in my office, and
28:17
Speaker 1: I just began to cry because I saw someone who
28:21
Speaker 1: looked like me, someone who looked like my brother, someone
28:25
Speaker 1: who looked like my friends, get shot down and fall
28:30
Speaker 1: on the street like an animal. And that hurt me
28:35
Speaker 1: because I've seen it time and time again. And so
28:38
Speaker 1: I forgive me if I'm long winded, but I'm gonna
28:41
Speaker 1: get through this. The events of the last few months
28:44
Speaker 1: have culminated and shook the nation for many, opening their
28:48
Speaker 1: eyes to something the marginalized have pointed out the whole time.
28:52
Speaker 1: What I and others know is that these atrocities have
28:55
Speaker 1: been foreshadowed. They have been allowed to manifest because of
28:59
Speaker 1: years years of systemic indoctrination and oppression. I urge you today,
29:05
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, to know this history, study it, seek
29:10
Speaker 1: it because through it. Though it may make you uncomfortable,
29:13
Speaker 1: it will lead towards change. George Santayana said those who
29:18
Speaker 1: cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it and
29:21
Speaker 1: the revend. Dr Martin Luther King said that we are
29:23
Speaker 1: not makers of history, were made by it. We can
29:27
Speaker 1: not allow comfortability of revisionist history to disarm our minds
29:31
Speaker 1: and weaken our convictions. A Confederate monument sits a couple
29:36
Speaker 1: of blocks from here, praising the South dark past. Our
29:40
Speaker 1: revision is history would tell us that it's there to
29:44
Speaker 1: honor men fighting for states rights. What true history would
29:47
Speaker 1: tell us that. In the cornerstone addressed Alexander Stephen said
29:52
Speaker 1: that our states are built on the fact that the
29:55
Speaker 1: negro is inferior, and slavery and subordination is a normal
29:59
Speaker 1: and natural state. That's true history. This monument sits a
30:05
Speaker 1: block from where the acts handle Saturday happened in Jacksonville,
30:10
Speaker 1: a block from it, reminding people in this city of
30:13
Speaker 1: what's happened to them. True history would remind people that
30:17
Speaker 1: not only Confederate sympathizers butchered black people in the streets,
30:21
Speaker 1: but police joined in too. Revisionist history is what allows
30:31
Speaker 1: us to believe that systemic racism isn't real, or that
30:35
Speaker 1: racism isn't of itself, is only isolated incidents, not instilled
30:39
Speaker 1: by government back segregation, not instilled by a history of
30:43
Speaker 1: bias and policing. Revisionist history is what allows people to say, yes,
30:47
Speaker 1: these things happened, but that was the past. Can't we
30:50
Speaker 1: just move on? Richard Rosston said, let bygones be bygones
30:54
Speaker 1: isn't a legitimate wish if we wish to call ourselves
30:57
Speaker 1: a constitutional democracy. Protests like this one and peaceful protests
31:02
Speaker 1: across the country are fighting for our constitution. They're fighting
31:06
Speaker 1: for our democracy. So I plead that everyone out there
31:09
Speaker 1: would get out and they would demonstrate, they would do
31:11
Speaker 1: it peacefully. And to those people who are trying to
31:14
Speaker 1: detract from this movement, who are trying to add on
31:17
Speaker 1: and instill hate and riots, we won't let you hijack
31:21
Speaker 1: this moment. We won't let you do it. Fighting for inequality,
31:31
Speaker 1: Fighting inequality that allows longer sentences on average for African
31:36
Speaker 1: American men, Fighting inequality that allows black adolescents to be
31:42
Speaker 1: eighteen times more likely to be charged as adults. Everybody,
31:46
Speaker 1: look around at the kids here, man. A black adolescent
31:51
Speaker 1: is eighteen times more likely to be charged and convicted
31:54
Speaker 1: as an adult. That's what we're fighting today. Yeah, we're
32:01
Speaker 1: fighting in equality that would allow this league to marginalize
32:05
Speaker 1: and to leave players in two thousand and sixteen, when
32:07
Speaker 1: they stood up and said that there was a problem.
32:10
Speaker 1: That's what we're here to fight today. That's what you're
32:13
Speaker 1: all here for. Today. Today we say no more. Today
32:18
Speaker 1: we see a nation that can't await change, the city
32:21
Speaker 1: that won't sit still or be quiet. Today, I'm surrounded
32:25
Speaker 1: by brothers and sisters of every color who rallied together
32:29
Speaker 1: to echo the cries of George Floyd, to echo the
32:32
Speaker 1: cries of Brianna Taylor, to echo the cries of a
32:34
Speaker 1: Mod Aubrey and the countless others like them. Today, we're
32:38
Speaker 1: encouraged today, we're emboldened. Today, we know that that change
32:43
Speaker 1: will come. Today, I'm surrounded by you, and I pray
32:47
Speaker 1: for you that you would abound in love and knowledge
32:50
Speaker 1: and deep insight. Like Philippians one nine says, this is
32:56
Speaker 1: a marathon and not a sprint. Every woman and child
32:59
Speaker 1: and man can sustain this for more than just a
33:03
Speaker 1: moment and make sure that this is a movement right now.
33:06
Speaker 1: I challenge all of you to learn this history, to
33:10
Speaker 1: learn our country's true history, not so that it makes
33:13
Speaker 1: you comfortable, but so that you can be empowered to
33:18
Speaker 1: go out and make true change, So that you can
33:20
Speaker 1: go out and, as they say, you can beat him
33:22
Speaker 1: at the ballot, so that you can weaponize the voters
33:26
Speaker 1: in this city to get people who will truly represent
33:29
Speaker 1: each and every one of us. Voters can do this
33:33
Speaker 1: right now. Movements like this can do this right now.
33:38
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you. I want to say
33:40
Speaker 1: thank you to my black brothers and sisters who are
33:42
Speaker 1: out here. I want to say thank you to my
33:43
Speaker 1: white brothers and sisters who are out here. I want
33:45
Speaker 1: to say thank you to every single child who is
33:47
Speaker 1: out here, younger person who is out here, because you're
33:50
Speaker 1: seeing an example of what the future can be. You're
33:53
Speaker 1: seeing an example of a future that's fighting for you.
33:56
Speaker 1: For you right now, I'm fighting for you. When I
34:00
Speaker 1: saw that video, I saw you. I saw you, I
34:05
Speaker 1: saw you. Thank you to all of you. This is
34:09
Speaker 1: only the beginning. Don't let people rile you up. Don't
34:13
Speaker 1: let people tell you that you're not worth it. When
34:17
Speaker 1: they say black lives matter the same Black lives matter
34:19
Speaker 1: because they're hurt. Right now, we're not saying the matter
34:22
Speaker 1: more and everyone here, I hope everyone here knows that.
34:27
Speaker 1: But let's show it. This is only the beginning here
34:31
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Let's make sure that we maintain this momentum
34:36
Speaker 1: so it's not a movement, and this is a movement.
34:38
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris Conley last Friday and steps through the
34:42
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Sheriff's office. Um, the change was coming. We'll come
34:47

39:04
Speaker 1: We heard some of the Friday speeches the steps of
39:08
Speaker 1: the j s oh and then the change happened. The
39:12
Speaker 1: night before Leonard Fornette was supposed to march from City
39:16
Speaker 1: Hall downtown and then Lenny Curry Jaguar or Jacksonville Mayor
39:20
Speaker 1: I decided and announced that he was going to join
39:23
Speaker 1: for that. They teamed up together with the sheriff. Let's
39:27
Speaker 1: hear Leonard for that on the steps of city Hall
39:29
Speaker 1: just before the walk on Tuesday, and hours after the
39:32
Speaker 1: statue was taking down taken down in plaza. Good evening,
39:36
Speaker 1: good evening, good evening. Uh, I appreciate everybody coming out here,
39:40
Speaker 1: mann And what was that Black lives do matter? I
39:44
Speaker 1: want you to understand that they do matter. I want
39:46
Speaker 1: to like thank my teammates, my coaches for coming out
39:49
Speaker 1: and supporting me and supporting us, you know. Uh do
39:52
Speaker 1: bas my second home, you know. And the biggest thing
39:56
Speaker 1: I want to get out give out to y'all and
39:58
Speaker 1: like everyone, it's not about the flag at all. I
40:01
Speaker 1: want you to understand that it's about us. One of
40:05
Speaker 1: equal rights understanding. I'll please as young black men because
40:09
Speaker 1: it's hard being black out here right now. It is tough,
40:12
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I want to be that
40:14
Speaker 1: voice for people like George Floyd, George Hill, you know,
40:18
Speaker 1: Arto Stirling, guys like that. Uh, this is a big
40:21
Speaker 1: step for all of us. You know. I'm happy to
40:24
Speaker 1: see blacks and whites out here together, you know, doing this.
40:26
Speaker 1: This is a This is a wonderful thing. And the
40:29
Speaker 1: biggest thing. I didn't grow up you know, being racist
40:33
Speaker 1: or my parents teaching me racism. But number one, we
40:35
Speaker 1: gotta stop that. That is just bad man. You got
40:39
Speaker 1: to it's bad man. And uh. And the biggest thing, man,
40:43
Speaker 1: I just like to thank my support for my teammates,
40:45
Speaker 1: for no one, Uh, for Marcus you know, he's coming
40:47
Speaker 1: out here. For for helping me, you know what I mean,
40:50
Speaker 1: And I appreciate you all. I appreciate you. And also
40:53
Speaker 1: the fans, thank y'all for coming out. I appreciate you
40:55
Speaker 1: all and understanding. Uh, I have kids. I want you
40:58
Speaker 1: to put that out there too. My fear right now
41:01
Speaker 1: is my kids getting older, you know, getting stopped and
41:04
Speaker 1: I'm I'm keeping the real and then them getting shot
41:06
Speaker 1: or anything, you know what I mean. And that's the
41:08
Speaker 1: biggest thing right now. So as y'all seen we came
41:13
Speaker 1: to gather, the statue is gone. It's another big thing.
41:18
Speaker 1: It's another big thing. And Uh, I'm gonna tell y'all, man,
41:21
Speaker 1: no matter what man, I love all y'all. Uh, this
41:24
Speaker 1: is bigger than me. This is bigger than football. So
41:26
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to continue praying, coming together. Do we
41:29
Speaker 1: have to do to to to have a better generation
41:33
Speaker 1: five kids, the next generation? And uh, black lives matter.
41:36
Speaker 1: Let's keep fighting, y'all. That's leonding for that. Tuesday, on
41:40
Speaker 1: the steps of city Hall in downtown Jacksonville, Mayor Lynne
41:43
Speaker 1: Curry spoke next, then the sheriff, then a little do
41:46
Speaker 1: all of them. They had the long march around downtown
41:49
Speaker 1: Jacksonville here from the mayor coming up. Let's go on
41:53
Speaker 1: the phone line now. Jaguars analyst Jeff Logoman joins this. Jeff,
41:56
Speaker 1: good afternoon. But what's up here? How you d doing well?
42:01
Speaker 1: And you know, I find it fascinating interesting all the
42:06
Speaker 1: words you can use similar to that that Leonard for
42:09
Speaker 1: that running back first round pick, big name in Jacksonville.
42:12
Speaker 1: Because of his prowess on the field and his role
42:16
Speaker 1: with the organization, he can bring Mayor Lenny Curry and
42:21
Speaker 1: Sheriff Mike Williams and Will Duval, you know, bring those
42:25
Speaker 1: different types of people together in a moment like this.
42:29
Speaker 1: That's using that celebrity that he has in a positive way.
42:32
Speaker 1: And I thought that was a big part of what
42:34
Speaker 1: happened on Tuesday. So it's pretty strong, you know. And
42:39
Speaker 1: and and I think, uh, most importantly, a lot of
42:42
Speaker 1: athletes have probably underwhelmed and using their platform in the past.
42:48
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about athletes as a whole, and I
42:51
Speaker 1: think they're really starting to understand the power that they
42:53
Speaker 1: wield and certainly can institute a lot of change themselves.
42:59
Speaker 1: And so I think also that going forward, you know,
43:03
Speaker 1: this can't be on like a one time thing where
43:05
Speaker 1: you just Okay, let's commit to this right now. I
43:07
Speaker 1: mean it's got to be This has to be a continuation,
43:11
Speaker 1: you know, something that doesn't just Okay, we we talk
43:13
Speaker 1: about them now, then in a month it's just it's
43:16
Speaker 1: over with and we forget about it. I think this
43:19
Speaker 1: is something that has to continue. The work continues to
43:21
Speaker 1: have to be done, and and hopefully a lot of
43:24
Speaker 1: the athletes in the in the leadership in our country,
43:27
Speaker 1: the leadership in cities and the communities, continue to work
43:30
Speaker 1: towards making sure that everybody has a voice that's heard.
43:35
Speaker 1: And it feels like that's the focus of Jaguars owner
43:39
Speaker 1: Shot con as he wrote in his op ed piece
43:41
Speaker 1: earlier last week and then followed up to I think
43:45
Speaker 1: yesterday and visited with the Jaguars team about a hundred
43:48
Speaker 1: people in the organization, players, coaches and staff around the team,
43:53
Speaker 1: mainly and getting ideas, listening and following up and what
43:57
Speaker 1: he said, I think that's his focus law, just as
44:00
Speaker 1: you said, not to make this a one time thing,
44:03
Speaker 1: to see how they can carry this momentum forward well,
44:08
Speaker 1: and I think when you have conversations, I think that
44:10
Speaker 1: you know things can be accomplished. And I think the
44:13
Speaker 1: league offense, I think is a perfect example of that.
44:16
Speaker 1: I first thought, I thought that it was outstanding that
44:20
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell came out and made the statement that he did,
44:24
Speaker 1: and that didn't happen until they decided to have essentially
44:29
Speaker 1: an open form with some of the employees at the
44:32
Speaker 1: League office, and a lot of the employees were and
44:37
Speaker 1: me personally, when I saw the statement that was released
44:40
Speaker 1: by by the league and the commissioner, I thought it
44:44
Speaker 1: was weak. And I think everybody in the League office
44:48
Speaker 1: thought it was weak. And when they were able to
44:50
Speaker 1: get in the forum to voice the concerns to Roger
44:53
Speaker 1: Goodell that they also thought it was weak, which led
44:57
Speaker 1: to the video that was released with the players on
44:59
Speaker 1: it and the kind of the road employee that did
45:03
Speaker 1: this video on his own. Eventually he let some of
45:05
Speaker 1: his superiors know about I mean, I mean, that was
45:08
Speaker 1: good stuff, man. And uh And so I was glad
45:11
Speaker 1: to see the commissioner come out and and say things
45:14
Speaker 1: and shotcom Obviously having an open forum with employees and
45:19
Speaker 1: players and such like that, you know, it gets a
45:22
Speaker 1: great opportunity, you know that to institute change, and not
45:27
Speaker 1: just change, but effective change that people want, and you can't,
45:32
Speaker 1: and you can't. You can't do something that has changed
45:34
Speaker 1: just for the sake of change either, you know. I mean,
45:37
Speaker 1: you've got to do something that's got meaning, that's gonna last.
45:41
Speaker 1: And at the same token, you have to you have
45:43
Speaker 1: to be very considerate of all parties involved. Jeff Logan
45:48
Speaker 1: with US Jaguars analyst Jaguars Happy Hour. The off season
45:52
Speaker 1: program is nearly complete logs. They've announced that they're going
45:56
Speaker 1: to expand it a couple of weeks, but some teams
45:58
Speaker 1: can shut it down as there is tomorrow if they'd
46:01
Speaker 1: like to. And now there's other reports. I don't know
46:03
Speaker 1: if you saw these earlier the week that the league
46:06
Speaker 1: and the players Association are discussing trimming the preseason. Can
46:09
Speaker 1: you imagine playing two preseason games instead of four whatever
46:13
Speaker 1: you played back in the old days, six of them? Well, uh,
46:18
Speaker 1: here's a crazy thing. It's gonna take a global pandemic
46:23
Speaker 1: for the league to finally do the right thing when
46:26
Speaker 1: it comes to preseason. Are you're right? I mean, we
46:31
Speaker 1: we've all been saying for years that having four preseason
46:36
Speaker 1: games is an absolute waste of time, and so this
46:41
Speaker 1: global pandemic may may cut it, you know, will it
46:44
Speaker 1: cut it by two to where it should be, which
46:48
Speaker 1: is what I think a team needs to get ready
46:51
Speaker 1: to play a season. I think it also gives enough
46:53
Speaker 1: opportunity to evaluate players, especially if you're going and practice
46:58
Speaker 1: in with other teams throughout the season and not necessarily
47:02
Speaker 1: getting quote unquote game speed rets. I think there's plenty
47:07
Speaker 1: of opportunity to make a lot of the decision and
47:09
Speaker 1: coaches will tell you because it can coaches or coaches,
47:11
Speaker 1: I mean, they want to work, you know, they want
47:13
Speaker 1: to They're they're wired to do things a certain way,
47:17
Speaker 1: and when they're forced to do something, that's amazing how
47:19
Speaker 1: it still works, you know what I mean? I mean
47:22
Speaker 1: you still aren't able to accomplish things. And so when
47:24
Speaker 1: you say that that we're finally are looking at possibly
47:28
Speaker 1: cutting preseason, you know, JP, I may end up buying
47:31
Speaker 1: you a beer that that's the case, because I would
47:34
Speaker 1: be one happy camper if that that truly happens. And
47:37
Speaker 1: also to say that the all season stuff is ending,
47:41
Speaker 1: um did it ever get started? I mean, is virtual
47:46
Speaker 1: still considered all season training? If it's still considered um productives?
47:53
Speaker 1: I mean when you're not on the grass and you're
47:55
Speaker 1: talking to somebody on Zoom or in teams or Facebook, Instagram, FaceTime, whatever,
48:02
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever all these avenues are. I mean, it's
48:04
Speaker 1: just not the same, I will say. I mean we'll
48:08
Speaker 1: find that out. I think once the games get here,
48:10
Speaker 1: if if there's any impact, and you know, especially with
48:14
Speaker 1: a team like this that needs to be on the field,
48:16
Speaker 1: working through some new things, certainly on defense, a new
48:19
Speaker 1: offense coordinator coming in and all that, I think we'll
48:22
Speaker 1: find out then. But I will say, the money is
48:23
Speaker 1: still real. They're all still getting paid, um, you know,
48:28
Speaker 1: being involved in that. You know what, what's what's the
48:33
Speaker 1: what's the stadium gonna look like? You know, our our teams,
48:38
Speaker 1: our teams exercising right now, and my guests would be
48:41
Speaker 1: yes that they are probably looking at ways to to
48:48
Speaker 1: have socially distant attendance. You know, are are they already
48:52
Speaker 1: doing that, you know, to where they're trying to configure
48:56
Speaker 1: stadium seating to where if you know, they've got to
49:00
Speaker 1: imply with certain standards, whether it be from from the
49:03
Speaker 1: state level. I don't expect it to be instituted down
49:06
Speaker 1: from the federal level, but city levels or state levels
49:10
Speaker 1: or what have you. You know, could teams. I mean,
49:13
Speaker 1: teams have to be ready for for different things when
49:17
Speaker 1: it comes to seating people in a stadium. So and
49:21
Speaker 1: I'm sure that every team in the league right now
49:24
Speaker 1: is talking to local and state authorities and trying to
49:28
Speaker 1: configure what they're gonna want to do from a seating
49:30
Speaker 1: capacity and and everything else. And I think teams also
49:34
Speaker 1: got to have the conversation JP. I mean, look, when
49:37
Speaker 1: when the Jaguars fly, they charter an airplane. Okay, you're
49:42
Speaker 1: chartering an airplane and you're typically traveling with a lot
49:46
Speaker 1: of people. You've got players, coaches, training staff, doctors, um,
49:54
Speaker 1: public relations staff, you've got people that work for broadcast
50:00
Speaker 1: asking departments. I mean, so are you going to look
50:02
Speaker 1: at trimming some of that, you know, to where you're
50:05
Speaker 1: exposing less number of people to be around your football
50:09
Speaker 1: team on the road. I mean, I mean all of
50:12
Speaker 1: these things have to be talked about by a football
50:15
Speaker 1: team in the league as a whole in preparation for
50:19
Speaker 1: those those conversations I'm sure already started and and they'll
50:23
Speaker 1: be ongoing throughout the summer, and they could change as
50:26
Speaker 1: the summer goes on. I mean, it could be trimming
50:28
Speaker 1: to two. It could be trimming to none in the preseason.
50:31
Speaker 1: That's not too far fetched either the way things have gone.
50:34
Speaker 1: So but you don't know. You don't know how the
50:35
Speaker 1: summer is gonna go. No, you don't know, and is
50:39
Speaker 1: you know, not not having an off season. It's it's
50:41
Speaker 1: certainly not good for football. I mean, I think football
50:44
Speaker 1: is better when just like anything else, I mean, football
50:47
Speaker 1: is better when people can practice football, you know, you
50:50
Speaker 1: have better, higher quality, and so not having some of
50:53
Speaker 1: the all season stuff, I think we're still good. We
50:57
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be a noticeable difference, but
50:59
Speaker 1: I think for the trained, I think it will be
51:01
Speaker 1: very different. The level of play, certainly with h with
51:06
Speaker 1: certain players and young players and their lack of opportunities
51:09
Speaker 1: to get reps in training for towards the football season,
51:13
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, you know, young teams as a whole. And
51:16
Speaker 1: and that's the Jaguars that we're talking about. So I
51:18
Speaker 1: think there's certainly some challenges, and the Jaguars are are
51:22
Speaker 1: right there. When you start to talk about challenges with
51:25
Speaker 1: no all season training, the Jaguars are I mean literally
51:29
Speaker 1: could be the poster child for that. When you talk
51:32
Speaker 1: about teams that have big challenges in well, logs, I
51:36
Speaker 1: will say you can. I'll take you up on that
51:38
Speaker 1: beer you want to buy me early if you'd like
51:42
