Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: It's Thursday, August six. This is happy and now celebrating
- 0:12Speaker 1: his triumph and return to the Premier Beer League. Jane,
- 0:20Speaker 1: who said I ever left. First of all, I was
- 0:24Speaker 1: never demoted from that Welcome in Jaguar's Happy Hour. J P.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Shadrick from the home studio. Jeff Logaman from his home studio, logs,
- 0:34Speaker 1: what's happening, man, It's all good, j P. It's all good. Excited,
- 0:38Speaker 1: uh to be one step closer to hopefully having a
- 0:40Speaker 1: football season. Well, you know, as the weeks go by
- 0:45Speaker 1: here we have a little more football activity going on,
- 0:48Speaker 1: which is nice. The opt out days today and then
- 0:51Speaker 1: you know, players are on the field going through that
- 0:54Speaker 1: that ramp up period now and then next week when
- 0:57Speaker 1: we talk, maybe there'll be some actual and feel things
- 1:00Speaker 1: happening by that. Yeah, and I think, uh, I think
- 1:03Speaker 1: we're gonna hear some more news about other players deciding
- 1:07Speaker 1: to opt out of me right now. The Jaguars had
- 1:10Speaker 1: an additional guy, Rashawn Melvin, the cornerback, the veteran that
- 1:13Speaker 1: they signed in free agency. He opted out, And uh,
- 1:17Speaker 1: I mean, who knows who's gonna come in at the deadline?
- 1:20Speaker 1: And uh, and I have a feeling that around the league.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I think the numbers are over fifty as of last
- 1:25Speaker 1: count yesterday, and I haven't seen the updated numbers. I'm
- 1:28Speaker 1: sure it's gonna get to be a little bit more
- 1:31Speaker 1: as we we hear news around the league today. But
- 1:33Speaker 1: here here's the other thing. JP. Just because a guy
- 1:37Speaker 1: doesn't opt out now doesn't mean that he's gonna just
- 1:40Speaker 1: decide I'm gonna opt out for the season and just
- 1:43Speaker 1: not take a stipend now, because that's what kind of
- 1:46Speaker 1: the timing of why they're opting out now. You can
- 1:49Speaker 1: opt out now and receive a hundred fifty thousand dollar stipend,
- 1:52Speaker 1: which you have to pay back from next year's salary,
- 1:55Speaker 1: and and then you don't play this year. If you
- 1:57Speaker 1: have a medical condition that gives you a reason to
- 1:59Speaker 1: opt out, you can get a three dollar but it's
- 2:03Speaker 1: not a stipend. You get to keep it. It's uh,
- 2:05Speaker 1: there's no strings attached. But the question still remains that, Look,
- 2:09Speaker 1: there's gonna be some guys that get involved in this
- 2:12Speaker 1: process of preparing for an NFL season and they're not
- 2:16Speaker 1: gonna like what they see, and they're gonna not gonna
- 2:19Speaker 1: like maybe the feeling that they have when they decide
- 2:21Speaker 1: to have contact with their teammates or have contact with
- 2:25Speaker 1: opponents and say I gotta pass on it. And in
- 2:30Speaker 1: that case, they're not gonna have any of that money
- 2:32Speaker 1: to kind of keep but other than what they have
- 2:35Speaker 1: made thus far in the season. So I would not
- 2:38Speaker 1: be surprised if we see uh tens, twenties, maybe thirties.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I think of players in the National Football League that
- 2:48Speaker 1: decide to opt out, you know, after this deadline that
- 2:52Speaker 1: was imposed at four pm today, and just not worry
- 2:55Speaker 1: about the money at that. Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, look,
- 2:57Speaker 1: if you if you feel strongly about something and you're
- 3:00Speaker 1: not comfortable playing the game, because here's the deal JP,
- 3:05Speaker 1: I mean, right now, everything's hunky dorry. Okay, Well, the
- 3:09Speaker 1: players are socially distant. They're having meetings that are virtual.
- 3:13Speaker 1: They're lifting in their own little cocoon. They're having all
- 3:18Speaker 1: their meetings in their own little cocoon. Okay, but at
- 3:21Speaker 1: some point you're gonna get together and you're gonna have
- 3:24Speaker 1: a huddle, you're gonna have practice, and that's gonna freak
- 3:27Speaker 1: some guys out because they're not used to being close
- 3:30Speaker 1: to people. You know, they've been sitting there teaching these
- 3:33Speaker 1: guys look six ft distant, six ft distant, and all
- 3:36Speaker 1: of a sudden, now you're asking them to huddle up,
- 3:38Speaker 1: and then you're asking them to get as close as
- 3:40Speaker 1: you can to some guys and cover them or hit
- 3:42Speaker 1: them or tackle them, or you know, evade somebody. But
- 3:46Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And it's a lot different than
- 3:49Speaker 1: what we kind of have become accustomed too lately, and
- 3:52Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot different what the players have
- 3:53Speaker 1: become accustomed to accustomed to. So it's gonna be a
- 3:57Speaker 1: big adjustment. So it's a big adjustment walking in the door,
- 4:00Speaker 1: Eddie and used to all the protocols that they've got
- 4:01Speaker 1: to follow. But when all of a sudden they decide
- 4:04Speaker 1: to hit, there's gonna be a big adjustment. And then
- 4:06Speaker 1: there's also gonna be another adjustment when they decided to
- 4:09Speaker 1: hit somebody else in the game, because you can't play
- 4:12Speaker 1: football when you're hesitant. So it's gonna be interesting. Yeah,
- 4:16Speaker 1: hesitant or socially distant and football, I mean the other
- 4:21Speaker 1: teams scored and touchdowns. That's that's what that means. Here's
- 4:24Speaker 1: what's coming up with the show today. Doug Morone at
- 4:27Speaker 1: the media today, we'll hear some of the highlights from
- 4:29Speaker 1: the Jags head coach, The Gardner Mintshow, Josh Allen, Brandon
- 4:32Speaker 1: Linder spoke earlier in the week. We'll get some of
- 4:34Speaker 1: the highlights from those guys as well, go around the
- 4:36Speaker 1: National Football League as well. The logs will start with us.
- 4:39Speaker 1: You touched on at the opt out deadline at four o'clock,
- 4:42Speaker 1: so about four minutes ago. Officially, will we'll see if
- 4:46Speaker 1: any others kind of roll injury right before the deadline,
- 4:50Speaker 1: But three Jaguars as at this moment have opted out,
- 4:53Speaker 1: Al Woods, Laurenti McCrae. Those were earlier in the week,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and then as you managed in Rashaan Melvin free agent
- 4:59Speaker 1: signing this path past offseason. You guys been in the
- 5:01Speaker 1: league for a little while now, an undrafted player back
- 5:05Speaker 1: in teen has worked his way through a few different teams. Um,
- 5:09Speaker 1: so three opt outs for the Jaguars, and you know
- 5:14Speaker 1: there's three veterans. But really, I wasn't been around the
- 5:17Speaker 1: league for a long time. Law is no spring chicken anymore.
- 5:20Speaker 1: He's got some experience on him, and Melvin's been in
- 5:23Speaker 1: since thirteen. So this kind of opens our conversation that
- 5:27Speaker 1: we'll we'll hear from Doug on this a little later,
- 5:30Speaker 1: you know, And on a year where a young player
- 5:33Speaker 1: might not have as many opportunities, if you have three
- 5:36Speaker 1: veteran guys like this opting out, that should have open
- 5:40Speaker 1: three more opportunities for a guy, at least on the
- 5:44Speaker 1: practice field. Well, there's no doubt. I mean, there's there's
- 5:48Speaker 1: some young guys that are right now that are quietly
- 5:51Speaker 1: celebrating because those three guys right there were almost assured
- 5:56Speaker 1: a roster's position or roster spot on this Jaguars football team.
- 6:00Speaker 1: So it does create an opportunity, most likely for a
- 6:04Speaker 1: younger player. So the younger player is probably going, yes,
- 6:08Speaker 1: you know, you know, my opportunity just got better, you know. So,
- 6:11Speaker 1: I mean good for them. And as a football team,
- 6:14Speaker 1: I think if you're trying to build it, you're sitting there,
- 6:17Speaker 1: if you're general manager, Dave caldwhere you're going, God, here
- 6:20Speaker 1: we are, you know, we we we filled some of
- 6:22Speaker 1: these holes with these veteran guys, you know, to maybe
- 6:26Speaker 1: bridge us until the young guys are ready to take
- 6:29Speaker 1: over full time. Well guess what, there's no more bridge
- 6:31Speaker 1: you know, And and then next year maybe the entire
- 6:35Speaker 1: reason that you sign that guy has evaporated because maybe
- 6:38Speaker 1: the young guy now games a year of experience and
- 6:40Speaker 1: so you know, I mean, what do you do in
- 6:43Speaker 1: that situation? So it's it's kind of a different it's
- 6:46Speaker 1: a different world, you know, JP. I mean, you know,
- 6:49Speaker 1: when Doug talks about how there's absolutely nothing normal about
- 6:53Speaker 1: this year, there's not. I mean in in even in
- 6:55Speaker 1: this instance where you're talking about three veteran guys that
- 6:58Speaker 1: are opting out, I mean, there's what what experience do
- 7:01Speaker 1: you have to reflect back on to make commentary on this?
- 7:04Speaker 1: I mean, you don't. You know, everything is new, everything
- 7:08Speaker 1: is different, And I think that's the one guarantee that
- 7:11Speaker 1: we have for this season and whatever capacity it's gonna be,
- 7:17Speaker 1: is that everything is going to be different and there
- 7:19Speaker 1: will be no normal. Let's hear from head coach Doug Marone.
- 7:23Speaker 1: He spoke earlier today and to this topic a bit
- 7:26Speaker 1: about opportunities for younger players. Of course, we talked about
- 7:31Speaker 1: it with him last week on the Dug Marone showed
- 7:33Speaker 1: as well, you know, and a late round draft pick
- 7:35Speaker 1: and undrafted rookie, those guys have limited opportunities anyway to
- 7:40Speaker 1: put things on tape in a regular year with four
- 7:43Speaker 1: preseason games and training camp. But it's even less so now,
- 7:48Speaker 1: and that makes everybody job much more difficult to give
- 7:54Speaker 1: those guys a chance, because it's tough enough to tell
- 7:57Speaker 1: a guy he's cut off a roster anyway, but all
- 7:59Speaker 1: of a sudden you you tell him and he hasn't
- 8:01Speaker 1: had much of an opportunity. That's even tougher for Doug
- 8:03Speaker 1: Moron anything in life, as long as you have an opportunity, um,
- 8:09Speaker 1: it may not work out well, it may not even
- 8:12Speaker 1: be fair, but at least as an opportunity to at
- 8:14Speaker 1: least show something. So immediately when it came out to
- 8:17Speaker 1: ninety eighty, I didn't even blinking eye. I was like,
- 8:20Speaker 1: I'm going to ninety. I just feel like it's just
- 8:23Speaker 1: an important thing for me and what I believe is
- 8:26Speaker 1: the right thing to do, and then I think it's
- 8:30Speaker 1: right for a team also, obviously, Well the obviously part
- 8:35Speaker 1: there is this is a young football team, so there's
- 8:37Speaker 1: a lot of youth. I think there're thirty rookies on
- 8:40Speaker 1: this roster, twelve draft picks, eighteen undrafted guys, so that's
- 8:44Speaker 1: a lot of young guys running around. But there may
- 8:46Speaker 1: not be as many running around after that. Now you
- 8:52Speaker 1: start the deadline is coming up fairly soon in a
- 8:56Speaker 1: week or so to get it down to eighty, but
- 8:58Speaker 1: for now it's ninety. Given a much chance to do something, well,
- 9:01Speaker 1: let me kind of reflect back on what Duck's talking about,
- 9:04Speaker 1: how he wants to give those guys a chance. I mean, look,
- 9:07Speaker 1: are these guys gonna get a great opportunity or a
- 9:10Speaker 1: great luck. Probably not. I mean, that's just that's just
- 9:12Speaker 1: the reality of it. And as a football coach, when
- 9:15Speaker 1: you're trying to decide what your roster makeup is gonna be,
- 9:19Speaker 1: you're you're gonna go to something that's a little bit
- 9:21Speaker 1: more proven, and then you have more of a track
- 9:25Speaker 1: record on than something that is totally unproven. And that's
- 9:28Speaker 1: the reality that of a veteran guy, he now has
- 9:30Speaker 1: a significant advantage because coaches have a trust factor or
- 9:35Speaker 1: a belief that this guy can do it well. We're
- 9:38Speaker 1: a lot of the young guys. You need to see
- 9:41Speaker 1: some repetitive history with a young player to get comfortable
- 9:45Speaker 1: with that player, and it's hard to accomplish that when
- 9:47Speaker 1: you're talking about there's about eleven padded practices that is
- 9:52Speaker 1: going to happen before the Jaguars this year, before they
- 9:55Speaker 1: have to make a decision to get their roster down
- 9:58Speaker 1: to a game day type situ sation where they're at
- 10:00Speaker 1: fifty three now. The roster being at ninety now, the
- 10:04Speaker 1: ninety right now allows them to take a look at
- 10:07Speaker 1: a lot of the young players. But once they get
- 10:09Speaker 1: to the situation to where they are practicing, I don't
- 10:14Speaker 1: think they're gonna be at ninety anymore because if you're
- 10:16Speaker 1: at ninety, then you have to split the practice up
- 10:19Speaker 1: and uh. And look, if I've got two coaching staff,
- 10:23Speaker 1: I don't have a problem splitting up and having two practices,
- 10:25Speaker 1: but I've got one coaching staff. There's not enough time
- 10:28Speaker 1: in the day to be able to do that. It's
- 10:30Speaker 1: time to get focused and get prepared for the season.
- 10:33Speaker 1: You know, you can't sit there and say, well, we've
- 10:34Speaker 1: got to develop this guy. We've got to develop that guy.
- 10:37Speaker 1: But they need to develop on their own and if
- 10:39Speaker 1: they can get on board, they get on board, and
- 10:41Speaker 1: you've got to get ready for a football season. The
- 10:43Speaker 1: clock is gonna be ticking, and I expect the Jaguars
- 10:46Speaker 1: when it comes to getting ready to have any a practice,
- 10:49Speaker 1: a real practice, they'll be down eighties so that they
- 10:52Speaker 1: don't have to split the squad. Yeah, we're not talking
- 10:55Speaker 1: about a junior varsity at a varsity squad. Guess what
- 10:58Speaker 1: this is the NFL ready to play or you're not playing?
- 11:01Speaker 1: And let me add this JP. You know, dug Rone
- 11:04Speaker 1: talked about how he referred back and this was last
- 11:07Speaker 1: week and he talked about it in this press conference.
- 11:09Speaker 1: He talked about how he reflected back on his time
- 11:12Speaker 1: as a college coach and said, Okay, what did I
- 11:14Speaker 1: do as a college coach to prepare guys for a season?
- 11:17Speaker 1: We didn't have preseason games. Well. Yeah. The big difference is, though,
- 11:21Speaker 1: is that in college you get to keep everybody. Yeah,
- 11:25Speaker 1: they're all there. Okay, you get to keep everybody, and
- 11:28Speaker 1: guess what if you have ten walk on, you can
- 11:30Speaker 1: keep them too if you want to. In the NFL
- 11:32Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. You know, you've got to make
- 11:34Speaker 1: a decision. You gotta make a pretty quick decision and
- 11:37Speaker 1: say can this guy play or can he not play?
- 11:42Speaker 1: Let's hear from the quarterback Gardner Mint. You spoke for
- 11:45Speaker 1: the first time in training camp back on Tuesday, and
- 11:50Speaker 1: as you might expect, logs. He um, he's an interesting cat.
- 11:53Speaker 1: He had a lot of things happen in this this
- 11:59Speaker 1: conference t hear what to expect from the offense this
- 12:05Speaker 1: year and how he's improved in the off season. But
- 12:08Speaker 1: you know, he was a little delayed in coming to
- 12:10Speaker 1: camp because he found himself on they reserved COVID nineteen lists.
- 12:15Speaker 1: And for Gardner Minshew, that was a little bit of
- 12:18Speaker 1: a struggle. The first day out yesterday, it has been
- 12:21Speaker 1: like the first day of school, you know, like having
- 12:23Speaker 1: my outfit picked out and everything. How to stay at home?
- 12:27Speaker 1: That sucks, missed out. I played with all my friends.
- 12:30Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, did not contract the virus. It
- 12:33Speaker 1: took one luck at me ran the other way. It's
- 12:36Speaker 1: probably in its best interests. So um, here we are.
- 12:39Speaker 1: We're back on Tuesday, right to roll Exad a good
- 12:41Speaker 1: place in football. There is all ways a sound bite
- 12:46Speaker 1: or three or four that come out of a Gardner
- 12:49Speaker 1: Minshew press conference that you'll run for a long time.
- 12:52Speaker 1: This adds to that list. It looks pretty good stuff
- 12:55Speaker 1: from the quarterback. Well, there was a couple of things
- 12:57Speaker 1: that certainly made you made your chuckle. One that that
- 13:00Speaker 1: you know, the virus took one look at me and
- 13:02Speaker 1: decided to turn the other direction. Uh. The other part was, yes,
- 13:06Speaker 1: him barking like a dog. And I don't know exactly
- 13:08Speaker 1: who was on the Microsoft Teams meeting, and I don't
- 13:12Speaker 1: think Gene for nat or I think it was John
- 13:14Speaker 1: Shipley official had a dog in the background barking. We accused,
- 13:20Speaker 1: we accused like three different people, but we found out
- 13:23Speaker 1: it was John. Okay, So I mean, look, it happens,
- 13:26Speaker 1: and Minshaw decides to bark back. But the most interesting
- 13:30Speaker 1: thing to me was and if you listen to him,
- 13:33Speaker 1: and then you also if you read the transcript, he
- 13:36Speaker 1: said something to the effect because he was talking about
- 13:40Speaker 1: him in the wide receiver that he's room he's with,
- 13:42Speaker 1: and he said something about, well we got the anybody's
- 13:46Speaker 1: down in Boca, And I almost got the impression that
- 13:50Speaker 1: he was telling us that he got the virus down
- 13:53Speaker 1: there in South Florida. So, but I mean, am I
- 13:56Speaker 1: am I miss reading that? Nobody kind of fun it up.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Nobody followed up on that. But I mean, but that's
- 14:03Speaker 1: what he said. I mean, if you go back and
- 14:05Speaker 1: you read the the script, or if you go back
- 14:08Speaker 1: and you listen to his press conference, he talks about
- 14:12Speaker 1: how you know, he said they got it when they
- 14:15Speaker 1: were down there working out, and I said, well, somebody
- 14:19Speaker 1: please follow up with that, and nobody did. So I'm
- 14:22Speaker 1: not saying that he had. I'm just saying that it
- 14:24Speaker 1: made me wonder because if you go back and he
- 14:27Speaker 1: watched his press conference and watched the video, it gave
- 14:30Speaker 1: me the impression that he did have COVID nineteen, which
- 14:32Speaker 1: is fine. I mean, look, i mean there's millions of
- 14:34Speaker 1: people that are getting effective and I'm not saying that
- 14:36Speaker 1: that's a bad thing, but it also I'm saying it
- 14:40Speaker 1: could be a good thing. But if you're starting quarterback
- 14:43Speaker 1: has the antibodies, he's already been through COVID nineteen and
- 14:47Speaker 1: there's less of a chance of him contracting the virus
- 14:50Speaker 1: once again, I mean, that could be a good thing
- 14:53Speaker 1: for a football team. Doug Moron had some comments about
- 14:58Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, and as you might expect, Doug is not
- 15:02Speaker 1: a social media maven lug, so he doesn't see a
- 15:06Speaker 1: lot of this outside noise about the cornerback. He does
- 15:09Speaker 1: see a different side of Gardener. There's so many people
- 15:12Speaker 1: that tell me, you know, all those things about you know,
- 15:15Speaker 1: social media, r vs. And all that stuff. I see
- 15:20Speaker 1: the guy that comes in with with with a mission
- 15:23Speaker 1: and a focus every single day, you know, so uh,
- 15:28Speaker 1: you know when he's here or around myself, and not
- 15:32Speaker 1: to say that we might not laugh about something or joke.
- 15:35Speaker 1: We do, but I don't see that that other side,
- 15:40Speaker 1: uh that people will be say the quirkiness to think
- 15:43Speaker 1: of that nature he's h you know, maybe I bring
- 15:48Speaker 1: that out in people. I don't know, but I'm just
- 15:51Speaker 1: saying I see a guy that's focused, and you know,
- 15:53Speaker 1: he's ready to go, and every time he's here and
- 15:55Speaker 1: he's working, he's on a mission and he's really working
- 15:57Speaker 1: with his teammates. So I mean, obviously that's a great
- 16:01Speaker 1: sign when the head coach sees that part of him
- 16:03Speaker 1: in the building, and you know, he looks a little stronger.
- 16:07Speaker 1: We see him if you're watching on Jags social he's
- 16:10Speaker 1: been in the weight room a little bit and has
- 16:12Speaker 1: kind of dedicated himself physically what you would expect from
- 16:15Speaker 1: from Gardner. That's the kind of guy he seems to be.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Like probably he definitely he looks more tone and uh,
- 16:22Speaker 1: the one thing I think about Gardener Mitschew. I remember
- 16:25Speaker 1: last year, my first impression of him when he was
- 16:27Speaker 1: out there on the football field. I said, boy, he
- 16:29Speaker 1: looks like a fullback. You know, it looks like a
- 16:31Speaker 1: walk on fullback. And he doesn't look like a quarterback
- 16:33Speaker 1: because he does he's a little shorter in stature and uh.
- 16:37Speaker 1: And that's probably one of the reasons why that he
- 16:40Speaker 1: was drafted where he is. And I mean the reality
- 16:43Speaker 1: is that, I mean, does he look tall and lean
- 16:45Speaker 1: and like a quarterback. I mean he doesn't, you know,
- 16:48Speaker 1: he looks like I said, like a walk on fullback.
- 16:50Speaker 1: And uh. But nonetheless, he's he had a very successful year.
- 16:55Speaker 1: It looks like he's come back an excellent shape. He's
- 16:57Speaker 1: got he's got some some hair growing out there, so
- 17:01Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have to watch out and make
- 17:03Speaker 1: sure that that doesn't block his vision when he's throwing
- 17:05Speaker 1: the football. But I'm excited to see him play this year.
- 17:08Speaker 1: And the quirkiness that Doug kind of mentioned there, he
- 17:11Speaker 1: says he doesn't see it, Like, how can you not
- 17:14Speaker 1: see it? I mean, he's definitely a little quirky, but
- 17:16Speaker 1: in a good way. You know, he's different and uh,
- 17:20Speaker 1: and I think the one thing about Minshew is is
- 17:23Speaker 1: that it's not contrived and it's not an act. It's
- 17:27Speaker 1: just kind of who he is. And I think because
- 17:30Speaker 1: if it is an act, or if it's contrived or
- 17:33Speaker 1: it's fake, that doesn't last in the locker room very long.
- 17:37Speaker 1: And nor does a player if he's fake or had
- 17:40Speaker 1: this contrived quirky acts. The respect doesn't last long in
- 17:44Speaker 1: the locker room. So so that's good for Minshoe because
- 17:47Speaker 1: the quirkiness that actually can help him in the locker room.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Because the quirkier, quirkier you are in the locker room,
- 17:53Speaker 1: sometimes the broaderer reaches in the locker room. You know
- 17:56Speaker 1: what helps broad reach as well is leading touchdown drive
- 18:00Speaker 1: and winning football games. That certainly helps things too. And uh,
- 18:03Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of confidence at least early
- 18:06Speaker 1: in this training camp behind Gardner Minshew, let's come back.
- 18:08Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Josh Allen speaking of confidence and guys,
- 18:12Speaker 1: Doug Marone had a lot of good things to say

- 22:09Speaker 1: I had a high standard last year and I kind
- 22:11Speaker 1: of achieved that goal. But now you know, I set
- 22:15Speaker 1: the bar really high for myself and I'm looking to
- 22:17Speaker 1: stay there and stay at the top. And I'm gonna
- 22:20Speaker 1: push myself as much as I could push each year.
- 22:23Speaker 1: And this year is I'm not holding anything back. Man,
- 22:27Speaker 1: I'm coming in as best as I can, the best
- 22:30Speaker 1: version of me. He called walcome back Jaguar's Happy Hour.
- 22:42Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick Jeff Logaman, Well, you can't love that guy, Logs.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Just his mentality and the way he goes about his
- 22:48Speaker 1: business and his approach even on a call and in
- 22:51Speaker 1: a media setting like that. He saw what he did
- 22:54Speaker 1: on the field last year, but the way it's just
- 22:56Speaker 1: it seems like a total package, which is a great,
- 22:59Speaker 1: great sign for the organization. Really. Yeah, he's uh, I mean,
- 23:04Speaker 1: let's face it, he's a stud. I mean he's uh.
- 23:07Speaker 1: He's a stud in so many different ways. A stud
- 23:10Speaker 1: because he has great physical tools. He has the personality
- 23:14Speaker 1: to make up that you want you're great players to have.
- 23:19Speaker 1: He's got some natural leadership ability and when when anybody
- 23:23Speaker 1: walks in the door and immediately kind of latches onto
- 23:26Speaker 1: the coattails of Klais Campbell and says, I'm gonna follow
- 23:31Speaker 1: this guy because I want to be like this guy.
- 23:34Speaker 1: To me, I mean, holy cow, that's exactly what you're
- 23:37Speaker 1: looking for. When you have young players that come in
- 23:40Speaker 1: that think they know that and they think they've been
- 23:44Speaker 1: there and done that, that's not the type type of
- 23:46Speaker 1: player that you want. The players that come in that
- 23:50Speaker 1: are wanting to be a sponge and realize that they
- 23:54Speaker 1: have so much to learn. Those are the ones that
- 23:56Speaker 1: realize that they're seiling they haven't reached yet, and that
- 24:00Speaker 1: they're gonna do everything possible to try to become better players.
- 24:04Speaker 1: And and I love listening to his interview. I love
- 24:06Speaker 1: listening to him talk about how he prepared for the
- 24:09Speaker 1: season and that obviously with all the restrictions that were
- 24:13Speaker 1: in place, he did the smart thing and then he
- 24:16Speaker 1: went out and he got somebody to take him through
- 24:18Speaker 1: workouts he took and leaned on the advice of Clay's
- 24:22Speaker 1: Campbell about trying to take care of your house and
- 24:24Speaker 1: your business and your body first before you worry about
- 24:27Speaker 1: anybody else. And I think that's the definition of a leader,
- 24:31Speaker 1: and that you do have to take care of yourself
- 24:33Speaker 1: because in in the NFL, the reality is this. You
- 24:37Speaker 1: can be a great leader, but if you're gonna be
- 24:40Speaker 1: a leader, you've got to make sure that number one,
- 24:43Speaker 1: you're doing the right thing and that you're a good
- 24:45Speaker 1: football player. Because if you're not a good football player,
- 24:49Speaker 1: do you think everybody else is gonna listen to you? No, No,
- 24:52Speaker 1: You've You've got to have a little You gotta have
- 24:54Speaker 1: some game if you're gonna be able to lead in
- 24:56Speaker 1: the locker on I'm not saying you've got to be
- 24:58Speaker 1: one of the best players in the leagu you don't,
- 25:01Speaker 1: but you've got to have some games. Now, I mean
- 25:04Speaker 1: he would love to be obviously. That's his goal, is
- 25:07Speaker 1: to be one of the best, if not the best
- 25:08Speaker 1: players in the league. And head coach Doug Barrone was
- 25:11Speaker 1: asked about Alan today and his mindset. And you know,
- 25:14Speaker 1: it doesn't start when you show up for training camp
- 25:16Speaker 1: for the head coach. It starts much earlier than that.
- 25:20Speaker 1: So immediately when the season was over, you know, I'm
- 25:23Speaker 1: thinking to myself, this guy gets it. You know, um,
- 25:27Speaker 1: you know this guy is is are all of a
- 25:30Speaker 1: sudden starting to put together a plan for himself of
- 25:34Speaker 1: of how he what he wants to do in the offseason,
- 25:36Speaker 1: what he wants to do when he comes back, and
- 25:38Speaker 1: is envisioning himself be a successful on the field. That
- 25:43Speaker 1: you need that first before you need anything. Yeah, start
- 25:49Speaker 1: with plan, follow the plan executed, and helped the team
- 25:53Speaker 1: as a whole win football games. That was another part
- 25:55Speaker 1: that Doug talked about too. It's not just personal goals.
- 25:58Speaker 1: He wants to win games. He this organization the guys
- 26:01Speaker 1: around him to do well for the Jaguars to to
- 26:03Speaker 1: win football games. That's what it takes. I mean. And
- 26:06Speaker 1: and if you're gonna lead this franchise and turn it around,
- 26:11Speaker 1: you've got to have players that have that mindset that
- 26:13Speaker 1: they're gonna be willing and they're gonna be able to
- 26:16Speaker 1: do whatever is best for this organization and win football games.
- 26:20Speaker 1: And obviously the success of the team is more important
- 26:23Speaker 1: than the success of the individual. And that's the way
- 26:24Speaker 1: it's got to be. And uh And Josh Allen is
- 26:27Speaker 1: a good football player, and I like the way he
- 26:29Speaker 1: also is. I don't want to say taking over that
- 26:32Speaker 1: place Campbell role with Caleb and chays On, but he's
- 26:35Speaker 1: kind of, you know, treated him like a brother in
- 26:39Speaker 1: helping him along. And that's what you gotta have, you know,
- 26:41Speaker 1: you gotta these get the young guys that come into
- 26:43Speaker 1: your football team. You want to make sure that they
- 26:46Speaker 1: latch on with people like a Josh Allen or like
- 26:49Speaker 1: a Clays Campbell, because you want them raise right and
- 26:52Speaker 1: you want them to eventually to do the same thing
- 26:55Speaker 1: to the younger guys that they start latching on to
- 26:58Speaker 1: some in your locker room that you're like, uh, and
- 27:02Speaker 1: then that JP. We all know it. I mean there's
- 27:05Speaker 1: guys in every locker room that you sit there and
- 27:07Speaker 1: you go, uh, you know, and and we as as
- 27:10Speaker 1: media members and as a former player and having been
- 27:14Speaker 1: in that locker room, you have guys like that, you know,
- 27:17Speaker 1: and you just want to make sure that nobody latches
- 27:19Speaker 1: on the guys like that. But you need some of
- 27:21Speaker 1: those guys to accomplish your goals because they have a
- 27:24Speaker 1: good skill set and they fill a role. But at
- 27:27Speaker 1: the same token, you don't need a guy like that
- 27:28Speaker 1: mentor in anybody. And and Josh Allen is the perfect
- 27:32Speaker 1: type of mentor and he's he's a fantastic football player,
- 27:36Speaker 1: and I'm excited to watch him play this year because
- 27:38Speaker 1: he's gonna have one year of experience under his belt
- 27:40Speaker 1: and he's only going to get that much better. That
- 27:44Speaker 1: was one question that Josh Allen was, what do you
- 27:49Speaker 1: need to do better? What can you improve upon and back?
- 27:55Speaker 1: Josh Allen certainly had an answer for that being a
- 27:59Speaker 1: complete player. Man. And Uh, I feel like, you know, yeah,
- 28:02Speaker 1: I worked on pass russ, but I worked on my
- 28:03Speaker 1: whole game. Uh. You know it. It's so big to
- 28:07Speaker 1: get caught up in the sacks. You know, this is
- 28:09Speaker 1: just talking around people in the NFL. Uh, It's so
- 28:11Speaker 1: big to get caught up in the sacks if you're
- 28:13Speaker 1: considered a pass rusher. Uh. And I'm not trying to
- 28:15Speaker 1: be considered just a pass rusher. I'm trying to be
- 28:17Speaker 1: considered a great defensive player. Um So I'm my main
- 28:20Speaker 1: focus was stopping My main focus is gonna stop the run,
- 28:22Speaker 1: tackle for losses. You know, plays that destructive the whole offense.
- 28:28Speaker 1: He added also that priority number one for this Jaguars
- 28:32Speaker 1: defense log just to stop the run. So that's coming
- 28:35Speaker 1: from above. But uh, there's a reason why they have
- 28:39Speaker 1: to stop the run before they can get to the
- 28:41Speaker 1: opportunity to rush the pastor he knows that. How much
- 28:45Speaker 1: better does he need to be, at least in in
- 28:47Speaker 1: run defense and being a complete player, How can he
- 28:49Speaker 1: do that? Well, He's he's got a lot of room
- 28:51Speaker 1: to improve. Man, I'm I'm talking a lot of room
- 28:54Speaker 1: to improve, because you're talking about a guy who at
- 28:56Speaker 1: the University of Kentucky didn't put his hand down on
- 28:58Speaker 1: a three point stance hardly at all, and when he did,
- 29:01Speaker 1: it was only to rush the passer. So he had
- 29:05Speaker 1: no comfort level whatsoever about playing the run from a
- 29:09Speaker 1: three point stanch. Which, look, the reality is, if you're
- 29:11Speaker 1: gonna play defensive end of the National Football League, you've
- 29:13Speaker 1: got to learn how to do that. And and that's
- 29:16Speaker 1: something that you can see that he worked on. He's
- 29:18Speaker 1: did the footwork, the hand placement, all that stuff. He
- 29:20Speaker 1: can get better at it. But that's what I appreciate
- 29:23Speaker 1: about Josh is that even though he had a double
- 29:26Speaker 1: digit sacks last year as a rookie, which is tremendous
- 29:29Speaker 1: because you're an elite pass rusher in the National Football
- 29:31Speaker 1: League when you get double digit, especially if you're a rookie.
- 29:35Speaker 1: So he could just say Hey, that's the glamour. That's
- 29:37Speaker 1: how my name is gonna be made. That's how I
- 29:39Speaker 1: make Pro Bowls, and that's what I am. I'm just
- 29:42Speaker 1: gonna be just a pass rusher, but he wants to
- 29:44Speaker 1: be the complete player. And uh and yeah, the Jaguar
- 29:47Speaker 1: has got to have a strong focus on stop in
- 29:49Speaker 1: the run because JP they weren't very good at it
- 29:51Speaker 1: last year. You know, that was one of the reasons
- 29:53Speaker 1: why they signed Joe Schobert linebacker, one of the reasons
- 29:56Speaker 1: that they signed Out Woods. And now he's opted out.
- 29:59Speaker 1: The big nose apple veteran guy, you know, so it's
- 30:02Speaker 1: unfortunate that they lost him. But they've got to get
- 30:05Speaker 1: better against the run, and Josh Allen has to be
- 30:07Speaker 1: a big part of that. Big body helps. I mean,
- 30:11Speaker 1: he's not a small guy. He's two hundred and sixty.
- 30:17Speaker 1: That helps, right to have some stoutness to you. Yeah,
- 30:20Speaker 1: he's you know, I think last year there were times
- 30:22Speaker 1: that he played about two sixty five, maybe even all
- 30:25Speaker 1: the way up to two hundred seventy pounds. And a
- 30:27Speaker 1: crazy thing is when he's to seventy, he's still he
- 30:29Speaker 1: still moves unbelievably well, you know, and and compare that
- 30:33Speaker 1: too in Gockway. And this is no sliderving Gockway, because
- 30:36Speaker 1: he's a great player in his own right, but he's
- 30:38Speaker 1: about two hundred thirty five pound ballpark, you know. So
- 30:42Speaker 1: the reality is that you can't do things at to
- 30:44Speaker 1: thirty five that you can't at to sixty five or
- 30:46Speaker 1: two seventy. Trust me, I've been there, I've tried. You know,
- 30:49Speaker 1: played years when I was younger at the two hundred
- 30:51Speaker 1: and forty pounds, and then I played years at two
- 30:54Speaker 1: hundred seventy pounds. And there's obviously a comfort level for
- 30:57Speaker 1: every player. And with Josh Allen, they're seeing to be
- 31:00Speaker 1: a pretty wide comfort zone in which which he can
- 31:02Speaker 1: play at and uh and when you have a guy
- 31:04Speaker 1: that's two d seventy pounds that can that can run
- 31:07Speaker 1: like him. But I think the most impressive thing is
- 31:09Speaker 1: that we're talking about a bigger defensive endom according to
- 31:13Speaker 1: modern day standards. Now, I mean we're not talking about
- 31:15Speaker 1: going in league history, y j P. Because some of
- 31:18Speaker 1: the modern day standards, most of your defensive ends are
- 31:20Speaker 1: two fifties. Two fifty five is somewhere right, and there,
- 31:22Speaker 1: Josh is a little bit bigger than that, but his
- 31:25Speaker 1: wind or his ability to to have a motor that
- 31:32Speaker 1: is still running. And I'm talking his speed is at
- 31:34Speaker 1: a high level through the course of a play, because
- 31:36Speaker 1: there was one place last year that sticks in my mind.
- 31:39Speaker 1: It's just unbelievable. And then he runs one direction, he stopped,
- 31:42Speaker 1: he changed his direction, and all of a sudden he
- 31:44Speaker 1: closes and when he closed, he ran a guy down.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Whereas most humans, okay after the first birth, will be
- 31:51Speaker 1: like Josh was just like it was like he's like,
- 31:56Speaker 1: all right, here we go. He's like he's fresh. He
- 31:59Speaker 1: was like he just started and it was the second
- 32:01Speaker 1: part of the second half of the play, and I'm going,
- 32:03Speaker 1: how do you do that? I mean, what a gift
- 32:05Speaker 1: that he has. And it's and it's fun to watch
- 32:08Speaker 1: because I wish I had that kind of endurance in
- 32:11Speaker 1: a play that Josh has. I will say that, you know,
- 32:16Speaker 1: I've lost some weight lately, right, I touched too six
- 32:20Speaker 1: for his two six. Yeah, it's a little bit different
- 32:26Speaker 1: for Josh than it was for me. Let's come back
- 32:28Speaker 1: in a moment, speaking of big guys, will go on
- 32:29Speaker 1: the offensive line and hear from Brandon Linder. The Jags

- 36:40Speaker 1: bodies conditioned in the shape that we want to be
- 36:44Speaker 1: at to play. I mean, I don't know if a
- 36:46Speaker 1: lot of guys had the opportunities to work out in
- 36:48Speaker 1: the gym, you know, access to a field, just with
- 36:51Speaker 1: with with all that's going on. But um, I think
- 36:55Speaker 1: the gradual way is gonna be good. And then, I mean,
- 36:57Speaker 1: fourteen days don't seen that much, but the stuff that
- 37:01Speaker 1: we're doing now it's kind of preparing us. So I
- 37:03Speaker 1: think in that fourteen days will be wide open in
- 37:07Speaker 1: the full swing of things. It's Brandon Lender Jaguars Center.
- 37:12Speaker 1: He spoke with the media earlier this week. Jaguars Happy
- 37:15Speaker 1: Hour rolls along. We're halfway home. The Doug Moron Show
- 37:19Speaker 1: starts at five o'clock today, and we'll hear from the
- 37:21Speaker 1: head coach. But good to hear from Lender. You know,
- 37:25Speaker 1: a guy who's been around here here for a long
- 37:27Speaker 1: time and earlier in his career, has battled some injury things,
- 37:30Speaker 1: but logs, he's I think he made the point that,
- 37:35Speaker 1: especially for veteran players, he's I think he called it
- 37:38Speaker 1: a dream offseason. There's nothing on the field at all, right,
- 37:41Speaker 1: so you should be fairly fast. I know what Lender's mindset.
- 37:46Speaker 1: It's okay. Lender's thinking, okay, no t a, no mini camp.
- 37:50Speaker 1: I get to go more, I get to go fishing more,
- 37:52Speaker 1: I get to go turkey hunt more. And so my
- 37:55Speaker 1: schedule is clean. I don't have any commitments something, so
- 37:58Speaker 1: I know, I Lenda. But but here's the Brandon Leonard
- 38:01Speaker 1: still prepared for the season, and and he certainly I
- 38:04Speaker 1: don't want to say that he thought that it was
- 38:07Speaker 1: the dream season. Like boy, we want to have every
- 38:08Speaker 1: year like this because the reality is nobody wants to
- 38:11Speaker 1: have a year like we've had with with a global pandemic.
- 38:15Speaker 1: But I think he's just referring to all the free time,
- 38:18Speaker 1: no commitments football wise, and and you come back and
- 38:22Speaker 1: you're kind of ready to go um. But I think
- 38:24Speaker 1: you know, he also had in that interview talked about
- 38:26Speaker 1: the importance and he realized the importance of the offensive
- 38:30Speaker 1: line to the success of this season this year, because
- 38:34Speaker 1: you're talking about a young quarterback in the second year,
- 38:38Speaker 1: really the first year that he has been the name
- 38:40Speaker 1: starting quarterback, and a defense that is gonna be an
- 38:44Speaker 1: offense really that both sides of the ball is gonna
- 38:46Speaker 1: be plugging in a lot of young players. So if
- 38:48Speaker 1: you look at any position group across this whole football team,
- 38:52Speaker 1: the offensive line is probably the one that has the
- 38:55Speaker 1: most consistency or will have the most consistency to it.
- 39:00Speaker 1: And uh and obviously, and I think it was one
- 39:03Speaker 1: of the requests that John o'shan made to us j
- 39:08Speaker 1: P all the media guys and said, hey, I need
- 39:10Speaker 1: you guys to help me write these articles. And he
- 39:13Speaker 1: asked different questions and one of the questions that he
- 39:15Speaker 1: posed that was on Jaguars dot Com was what is
- 39:18Speaker 1: the most important position group heading into mine was offensive
- 39:22Speaker 1: Live And the reason I said that was two fold.
- 39:25Speaker 1: One is that you have young quarterback. You have a
- 39:29Speaker 1: lot of growth that's needed for him, and you got
- 39:31Speaker 1: to give him room to do that. You need to
- 39:33Speaker 1: have a running game, and the offensive line's gotta block
- 39:36Speaker 1: and lead the way because that's probably the going to
- 39:38Speaker 1: be the most consistent thing to the offense. But also
- 39:41Speaker 1: time of possession. By running the football, you also keep
- 39:44Speaker 1: a defense off the field, and so the offensive line
- 39:47Speaker 1: can help the defense and ways as well. So this
- 39:50Speaker 1: offense has got to be good. This offensive line has
- 39:52Speaker 1: got to be good, and Brandon Lennar has got to
- 39:54Speaker 1: be a big, big part of that. You know, last
- 39:56Speaker 1: year was the first year that he was able to
- 39:58Speaker 1: make a complete season and he stayed healthy and and
- 40:01Speaker 1: I know he attributes the diet, the plots, the stretching stuff. Uh,
- 40:05Speaker 1: and good for him. You know, when players finally find
- 40:09Speaker 1: what works for them, they gotta stick with it and
- 40:11Speaker 1: hopefully that that formula continues to work for Brandon Lennar. Yeah,
- 40:15Speaker 1: he got dinged up a little bit last year, but
- 40:19Speaker 1: the whole season, I mean, everybody gets that if you're
- 40:23Speaker 1: a football player and you don't get dinged up. You
- 40:25Speaker 1: didn't play, you know, you're like on practice squad or
- 40:28Speaker 1: or you're you're the water boy. I mean, if you're playing,
- 40:31Speaker 1: you get dinged up. And that's just the fact, you know.
- 40:34Speaker 1: But the whole goal is just to be able to
- 40:36Speaker 1: fight through some of the dings and still be available.
- 40:39Speaker 1: You know, as we we've seen for many years the
- 40:41Speaker 1: old saying availability supersedes what JP. Yeah, come on, availability
- 40:49Speaker 1: supersedes what ability? Ability. Yes, availability supersedes ability because if
- 40:57Speaker 1: a player is not available, it doesn't matter what on
- 41:00Speaker 1: ability he has. And so for Brandon Leonard to be
- 41:02Speaker 1: available for all sixteen games last year, uh, great job.
- 41:06Speaker 1: And hope, hope, hope we see the same thing this
- 41:08Speaker 1: year out of them. Yeah, the most important ability is availability.
- 41:12Speaker 1: That's way I've always different. That's why I was hesitating.
- 41:15Speaker 1: And here's the other thing, JP, I mean, the the
- 41:19Speaker 1: offensive lines got some competition this year. Week Litten, I mean,
- 41:24Speaker 1: let's start with that real quickly. Let's start at left tackle.
- 41:26Speaker 1: That's the one right Cam Robinson and then Will Richardson's
- 41:30Speaker 1: moving over to the left tackle position. Is this a
- 41:33Speaker 1: real deal? Uh? Am? I breathing. That's real. Let's yeah,
- 41:41Speaker 1: that's real. Here. Look, Will Richardson last year, when all
- 41:46Speaker 1: of a sudden, Cam Robinson is not ready to go,
- 41:49Speaker 1: and then he was asked to play left tackle. He
- 41:51Speaker 1: did a really good job, and the Sally you know
- 41:56Speaker 1: who is Hall of Fame Cannet played the position. Even
- 42:00Speaker 1: made the comment that look, you know, you leave Will
- 42:03Speaker 1: out there at left tackle because he arguably had been
- 42:06Speaker 1: playing better than Cam has. And so to create competition,
- 42:11Speaker 1: first off, it's gonna make Cam a better player. It's
- 42:14Speaker 1: gonna make give Will an opportunity to earn a starting
- 42:18Speaker 1: job and give him motivation. And it also in the
- 42:21Speaker 1: event that Cam still wins the position, good for him.
- 42:23Speaker 1: He obviously elevated his level of play. But then you
- 42:26Speaker 1: also had a player who you know can play guard
- 42:29Speaker 1: because he rotated last year at guard. Now a sudden,
- 42:34Speaker 1: he can play guard, he can play tackle. He's the
- 42:38Speaker 1: multi toool that now becomes your most important offensive lineman
- 42:42Speaker 1: at that sixth position, because if anybody gets hurt, maybe
- 42:46Speaker 1: besides the center position, he's going to be the first
- 42:49Speaker 1: guy in. And Will Richardson if he doesn't in fact
- 42:51Speaker 1: beat out Cam Robinson, and then if he does. Okay, well,
- 42:55Speaker 1: guess what, Cam's gonna have to learn how to play
- 42:57Speaker 1: some guard and he's gonna have to learn play some
- 42:59Speaker 1: right to or wherever they need them at. Let's hear
- 43:03Speaker 1: again from Brandon Lender. We we've talked about guys getting
- 43:07Speaker 1: dinged up. That happens, but the dinged up could be
- 43:09Speaker 1: a little bit different this year. The social distancing and
- 43:12Speaker 1: everything that's happening in the building right now, there's one thing,
- 43:15Speaker 1: but at some point you have to line up across
- 43:18Speaker 1: from the man across from you and butt heads with
- 43:22Speaker 1: him and get face to face. As we've talked about
- 43:24Speaker 1: logs before. I asked Brandon on the call the other day,
- 43:28Speaker 1: would he consider wearing that new faced mask shield. You know,
- 43:32Speaker 1: some guys have the visor only over the eyes, but
- 43:35Speaker 1: there's an option now to wear one over the mouth
- 43:39Speaker 1: and nose part of the face mask. And I asked
- 43:42Speaker 1: him in general, was of having to be so closely
- 43:45Speaker 1: involved in the trenches. Obviously we've been socially distancing ourselves.
- 43:50Speaker 1: I've been taking this seriously. Um. I've been talking to
- 43:55Speaker 1: the equipment guys about that shield. I guess that goes
- 43:58Speaker 1: above right here, but I mean as hot as it's been.
- 44:00Speaker 1: I don't know that's gonna be tough. But I mean,
- 44:04Speaker 1: because I mean in the trenches. I mean you're just
- 44:05Speaker 1: right here with another guy. I mean, obviously there's your
- 44:08Speaker 1: exhaling or spit. I mean, it's kind of crazy. But
- 44:11Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. I'm gonna take a look
- 44:13Speaker 1: at it. Um, I don't know. It might be too
- 44:16Speaker 1: hot in there to wear it. Yeah. Hot, and at
- 44:20Speaker 1: some point he has to make calls as well in
- 44:23Speaker 1: their offensive line. Could be a little bit of an
- 44:26Speaker 1: issue there. This is gonna be interesting to see because
- 44:28Speaker 1: you can't really know if you like wearing that until
- 44:31Speaker 1: you go try it on the practice field. They haven't
- 44:33Speaker 1: been able to wear helmets yet. Yeah, And I can
- 44:37Speaker 1: tell you this, I'm not I haven't seen um it
- 44:42Speaker 1: yet up close in person JP obviously because you know
- 44:45Speaker 1: we can't be down at stadium. UM. But I can
- 44:49Speaker 1: tell you this, essentially, what they're the objective is is
- 44:52Speaker 1: to control this area here, which is your nose, kind
- 44:55Speaker 1: of like a mask. And I had experience because you know,
- 45:01Speaker 1: the visor thing has been around for for quite some time. Well,
- 45:05Speaker 1: I remember back in the day that you know, like
- 45:08Speaker 1: a guy like Tim Cofield and Chris Doleman and and
- 45:12Speaker 1: guys wore the Darth Vader mask, you know that we
- 45:15Speaker 1: used to call it because tinted out and you can't
- 45:17Speaker 1: see their eyes. And I thought it looked pretty cool.
- 45:21Speaker 1: And so I was like, you know, man, I got,
- 45:22Speaker 1: I got, I think I want to try that, you know,
- 45:25Speaker 1: so it looks pretty cool. You know, maybe offensive line
- 45:27Speaker 1: won't see my eyes. I can look cool, you know,
- 45:30Speaker 1: because when you're twenty two, you know, you kind of
- 45:32Speaker 1: want to look cool too, you know. So I put
- 45:34Speaker 1: one on for a practice and and this was in
- 45:37Speaker 1: New York summertime, and it was stifling. It was it
- 45:43Speaker 1: was like this this oven, and it's it's almost like
- 45:48Speaker 1: being in a backyard jp that has twelve ft high
- 45:52Speaker 1: fencing that is totally would and there's no breeze versus
- 45:57Speaker 1: chain link fencing, and the breeze is blowing route. I mean,
- 46:01Speaker 1: it's just there's no there's no cooling effect whatsoever to
- 46:04Speaker 1: just this part. You know, so now fall sudden you're
- 46:07Speaker 1: talking all of this part right here. I mean, Brandon's right,
- 46:13Speaker 1: I mean, the the heat look at if you're playing
- 46:16Speaker 1: football in December January February this might be okay, but
- 46:24Speaker 1: Jacksonville in September, Uh uh, ain't happened. Ain't happened now.
- 46:32Speaker 1: I don't know if, if, if they can find a
- 46:36Speaker 1: way to do something else that wouldn't be so prohibitive
- 46:40Speaker 1: of the of the aeration part of it getting into
- 46:43Speaker 1: the helmet, I don't know. Uh, but that, but that
- 46:47Speaker 1: whole mask, face mask, plastic thing. As a player, I
- 46:53Speaker 1: wouldn't wear it either. Let's come go around all league.

- 51:04Speaker 1: Lock given from our home studios as we go around
- 51:08Speaker 1: the National Football League, the deadline for opting out came
- 51:12Speaker 1: and went for o'clock today. The players had to provide
- 51:15Speaker 1: written notice by then their intention to opt out, otherwise
- 51:21Speaker 1: the ability to opt out later logs will be limited
- 51:23Speaker 1: to specific changes in circumstances. That will include the player
- 51:27Speaker 1: receiving a new diagnosis of a health condition that puts
- 51:30Speaker 1: him at a higher risk, or the hospitalization or death
- 51:34Speaker 1: of a family member from COVID night in that's to
- 51:39Speaker 1: receive is talking about a little bit earlier. That's the
- 51:42Speaker 1: only way after four o'clock today that can happen. Well.
- 51:45Speaker 1: And then also, I mean, I think the opt out
- 51:48Speaker 1: stuff doesn't really end there. I think that that will
- 51:51Speaker 1: still have some players that choose to retire and uh
- 51:56Speaker 1: and then unretired. It's uh, it's not common for a
- 52:00Speaker 1: player too to change his mind. And so what the
- 52:05Speaker 1: player will do in that instance is that he doesn't
- 52:07Speaker 1: have any opt out money that will be at stake,
- 52:10Speaker 1: who will essentially walk away from his contract and he
- 52:13Speaker 1: will be paid to date. But then the other thing
- 52:16Speaker 1: that this factors in there, if the player does choose
- 52:19Speaker 1: to walk away, then the player may have to refund
- 52:23Speaker 1: a percentage of his signing bonus for the guaranteed money
- 52:26Speaker 1: that he was already paid. So that's gonna be a factor.
- 52:29Speaker 1: But I mean that is always an option for the
- 52:31Speaker 1: players that maybe after today at four pm. They're not
- 52:35Speaker 1: comfortable playing with a global pandemic that they do have
- 52:40Speaker 1: the option that they can walk away and just retire.
- 52:44Speaker 1: So I don't know what the number is gonna be
- 52:45Speaker 1: JP And and obviously the deadline has passed now for
- 52:48Speaker 1: the players to submit their written letter in which they
- 52:51Speaker 1: opt out. UM, it will be interested to see what
- 52:54Speaker 1: the final number is, certainly, and because you know there
- 52:59Speaker 1: this is different, you know, I mean, and I think
- 53:01Speaker 1: the league and the coaches and everything that I've read
- 53:03Speaker 1: from their statements about when the players that does decide
- 53:06Speaker 1: to opt out, that they have been completely understanding. I
- 53:09Speaker 1: think there also has to be some understanding too that
- 53:12Speaker 1: there's gonna be a little bit of an adjustment period
- 53:15Speaker 1: once again when the players go to having practice and
- 53:18Speaker 1: then the social distancing evaporates, and then there's games and
- 53:22Speaker 1: you're you're hitting somebody else, and you know, like Brandon
- 53:25Speaker 1: Lennard was talking about about how the face mask, you know,
- 53:27Speaker 1: you're talking right here, you know, you're swapping spit and
- 53:31Speaker 1: sweat and everything else, you know, because the contact is
- 53:34Speaker 1: face to face. I mean, that's just that's football. So
- 53:37Speaker 1: there's gotta gotta be a little adjustment period with that too.
- 53:40Speaker 1: And I think the one thing that you hope that
- 53:42Speaker 1: you don't have any hesitancy from the players, your players
- 53:45Speaker 1: when they have or they're going through that adjustment period,
- 53:48Speaker 1: because when you're hesitant, you're gonna get beat, uh and
- 53:51Speaker 1: also you could get hurt when you are hesitant. The
- 53:58Speaker 1: Player Association has said that fifth six players have tested
- 54:01Speaker 1: positive for COVID nineteen since the players began reporting to
- 54:04Speaker 1: training camps last week. That's about two of the players
- 54:08Speaker 1: currently on NFL rosters. You know, that's not a bad percentage, right,
- 54:13Speaker 1: That's that's a pretty small number relative. Yeah, And I
- 54:17Speaker 1: don't know the NFL hasn't tested for anybody's that I
- 54:22Speaker 1: know of, So, I mean that's just in the testing
- 54:24Speaker 1: protocols that they have instituted since the start of training camp.
- 54:29Speaker 1: So is the percentage higher? Obviously it would be higher.
- 54:33Speaker 1: So I'm sure that some players that were asymptomatic and
- 54:36Speaker 1: maybe never even knew that they had COVID, and some
- 54:39Speaker 1: players like von Miller that had it and they knew it,
- 54:42Speaker 1: but they didn't test positive within the league's testing procedures
- 54:46Speaker 1: that started at the opening of training camp. So it
- 54:49Speaker 1: seems like a really low number, but the reality is that,
- 54:52Speaker 1: you know, you try to go to get that number
- 54:54Speaker 1: down to zero because if all of a sudden, you
- 54:57Speaker 1: have one outbreak, you know, then you can have a
- 55:01Speaker 1: team shut down. I mean, we saw with baseball what
- 55:04Speaker 1: it can lead to. Were to baseball teams with Miami
- 55:07Speaker 1: and St. Louis had major issues with trying to complete
- 55:11Speaker 1: a season because of outbreaks. And you hope that the
- 55:13Speaker 1: NFL doesn't have that and uh and hopefully the bubble
- 55:16Speaker 1: that they can create will be good. Now, by the way,
- 55:20Speaker 1: the Marlins are in first place. They've won some games
- 55:23Speaker 1: since they've started playing again, and they've got some some
- 55:26Speaker 1: guys off of their taxi squad to come up and um,
- 55:30Speaker 1: hey they're hot. Wouldn't that be something at the Marlins,
- 55:33Speaker 1: of all teams, ended up in the World Series this year,
- 55:36Speaker 1: probably against the Yankees. Um. We mentioned this last week,
- 55:39Speaker 1: but Vic Beasley still has not shown up for Titans
- 55:42Speaker 1: training camp. He did not opt out either logs, so
- 55:45Speaker 1: his fines for not reporting so far fifty dollars a
- 55:51Speaker 1: day for unexc used absences. So it's five hundred thousand
- 55:54Speaker 1: dollars worth of fines now for Vic Beasley. Wherever he is. Wow. Uh,
- 56:00Speaker 1: And I think he signed like a one year prove
- 56:03Speaker 1: it deal with Tennessee because you know, he had a
- 56:06Speaker 1: number of years with Atlanta. You know, the Super Bowl
- 56:08Speaker 1: year that he had he was unbelievable and then kind
- 56:11Speaker 1: of the performance dropped significantly, and so you've got a
- 56:14Speaker 1: one year proven deal with the Tennessee title. He's not
- 56:16Speaker 1: proven anything right now other than being a ghost. I mean,
- 56:20Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. Uh. You hope that the individual
- 56:24Speaker 1: is is not in any trouble or doesn't have any
- 56:26Speaker 1: family issues or anything of that nature. But man, a
- 56:29Speaker 1: little bit of communication with uh, with the general manager
- 56:33Speaker 1: and head coach there in Tennessee would probably do himself
- 56:36Speaker 1: some good. Today, LUGS would have been the Hall of
- 56:42Speaker 1: Fame game and can'ton Ohio. It's amazing that we would
- 56:46Speaker 1: have already been teeing it up tonight at Benson Stadium
- 56:50Speaker 1: in Kent. Playing in the Hall of Fame game stinks.
- 56:57Speaker 1: I gotta say, Look, I've been playing at twice and UH,
- 57:01Speaker 1: and it was pretty cool, uh to be able to
- 57:04Speaker 1: play in it, just for the simple fact that the
- 57:05Speaker 1: first time that I ever played, and it was John
- 57:07Speaker 1: Riggins induction into the Hall of Fame, and and I
- 57:10Speaker 1: was on the field as he's driving around and he
- 57:13Speaker 1: heat had a few beers and he's waving and doing
- 57:15Speaker 1: his best to sit up on the back of the
- 57:17Speaker 1: car kind of this during the thing. And then uh,
- 57:19Speaker 1: and then the other one obviously was with the Jaguars
- 57:21Speaker 1: and Panthers. But having the extra preseason game is like
- 57:27Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world, and especially when Tom
- 57:30Speaker 1: Coughlin was your head coach. I have no fond memories
- 57:37Speaker 1: of of of the Hall of Fame game. And Steven's
- 57:41Speaker 1: point other than it was the first year of a franchise,
- 57:44Speaker 1: in the birth of a franchise, and all those things
- 57:46Speaker 1: were positive, but the grind of that JP that wasn't
- 57:51Speaker 1: so much fun passed on that one for you put
- 57:56Speaker 1: you down exactly. It was a tweet earlier today James
- 58:00Speaker 1: James Palmer NFL Network put a tweet out earlier today.
- 58:03Speaker 1: It was one year ago. They were recovering joint practices
- 58:08Speaker 1: between the Ravens and there was made a point about
- 58:10Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's performances in those days. I was like, what
- 58:14Speaker 1: this guy is is really improved. He looks great as
- 58:16Speaker 1: a quarterback. Well he ends up being the m v
- 58:18Speaker 1: P in the league last year. It's unbelievable. But that
- 58:20Speaker 1: was a year ago. Today as well, we were in
- 58:23Speaker 1: Baltimore practicing against the Ravens and those days are gone. Yeah,
- 58:30Speaker 1: I mean that's a well what would you like to
- 58:32Speaker 1: have that back this year? You know where? Okay, you
- 58:36Speaker 1: got your team and are preparing for a season, and
- 58:38Speaker 1: you're watching your young guys against their young guys and
- 58:41Speaker 1: things are normal and you're you're not worrying about socially
- 58:44Speaker 1: distant JP. We're going to the local pub across the
- 58:48Speaker 1: street to get a burger and a beer and maybe
- 58:50Speaker 1: some wings. I mean, those days, those days, I just
- 58:54Speaker 1: wish we had more of them again. But JP will
- 58:58Speaker 1: just have to maybe have it's happy all right. This
- 59:00Speaker 1: show is called happy hour. You know I have to
- 59:03Speaker 1: I have to fill this up with something beside sweet tea.
- 59:07Speaker 1: And we got our own little happy hour here going on. Yeah,
- 59:11Speaker 1: we might have to do that after the show, but
- 59:18Speaker 1: you know that's how over work. Hey, coming up, it's
- 59:23Speaker 1: the Doug Browne Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Thanks
- 59:27Speaker 1: for We'll be back in just a moment. On the
- 59:29Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. This has been jaguar It's happy hour
