• 0:25
  Speaker 1: into Jaguars Happy Hour, J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagoman busy program. Today,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: we'll start off with the Jaguars moving forward. Well, we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: thought the moving forward might be over with until this afternoon.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison has been traded to the Browns. Will break
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: down that move and what it means. Roster cutdown to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: day is looming as well. We'll get into some of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: those roster battles. Senior VP of Sales and Service Chad
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Johnson joins us at WOAR fifteen, Tony Vaselli at for thirty,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and we'll go around the National Football League j Flogging
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and of course joins us. We're at our home studios
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: today and let's start right off with it logs. Ronnie
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Harrison traded about an hour ago officially to the Cleveland Browns,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a fifth round pick coming back one. The Jaguars now
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: have eleven draft picks in next year's NFL draft Ronnie
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Harrison gone though, after only two years in the National
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Football League, going into his third season. What are you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: surprised by this move at all? Um? I wouldn't use
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the word surprised. Um. You know, here, here's the thing, JP,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: if you look at what's happened over the last couple
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of days with the Jaguars, and you kind of marry
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that with what they've been talking about all throughout the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: off season, all through the preseason here, even though there
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: hasn't been any games, but in training camp, they've talked
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: about at length about changing the culture. And changing the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: culture to me means that you want to get rid
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of some guys that you don't particularly like that maybe
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you don't feel that they're strong in the locker room,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that they're meant for your team. And then Ronnie Harrison
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: also might have been a case of, look, we've got
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of talent at that position. We feel really
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: good about the other guys that we have. You know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: let's face it, Ronnie Harrison was not a a premium
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: starter for this football team, not anywhere close to being
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a premium starter. He was a a good player, Uh,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: but are there other guys that have a talent or
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a skill set that's close to him. Absolutely. So if
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you've got some other guys that are pretty close to you,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you better have a lot of good culture about you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if Ronnie Harrison that was the case.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison in his two years of the Jags just
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: over a hundred tackles, three stacks, three interceptions, twelve passes defense,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But he did have a little bit of a track record,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: at least on the field of some extracurriculus things. It's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: haunting penalty here and unnecessary roughness there. Um. That kind
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of thing on the field cannot help this football team.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: That that JP. That goes to what we're talking about here,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and that's culture. You know. I think the thing that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: disappointed me the most with Ronnie Harrison far as on
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the field stuff he had, it wasn't uncommon for him
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to have miss tackles. And when you're supposed to be
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a tackling, physical safety, you can't have miss tackles. I mean,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you're the last line of defense. That's the name of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the position. It's called safety. But when he had the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: tawning penalties that you're referring to JP, this is a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: guy that was wasn't even involved in the conversation that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: he just entered himself into. It's almost as if at
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: times it was similar to the Leonard four Nett situation
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo to where Leonard four Nette involved himself in
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a fight on the far side of the field when
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: he had absolutely nothing to do with the play. Ronnie
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Harrison involved himself in certain skirmishes on the field where
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: he wasn't even involved in the play and ended up
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: getting tawning penalty. So, look, I don't know if this
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is the exact reason why, but from my perspective, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: they're talking about angine culture, you've got to make sure
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that you have your guys, and especially when you're going young,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: because look, the fact is that the Jaguars are going young,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and when you're going young, you want to make sure
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that the influences in that locker room are strong and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: strong and positive. And I think that that's where the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: focus is with this football team right now. I think
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that's what Doug Brown and Dave Caldwell are are setting
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: out to do, even if it involves cutting a guy
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: who is a a number four overall selection in which
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you could have had other quarterbacks which would have been
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: franchise type guys. And even if you have a safety
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: who is a third round pick and you trade him
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: for a fifth, you know, if you're gonna get better
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna do it with youth, you better make
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: sure that you've got really positive leadership with that youth.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We will ask Doug Moron about this trade today of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison to the Browns at five o'clock on the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Doug Marrone Show and the Jaguars Radio Network. The head
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: coach joins us at the top of the show today
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: coming up in a little less than an hour from
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: right now. A lot as you mentioned the youth. Doug
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Maron was asked about that youth. Has he ever been
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: around anything this young in the National Football League? No,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, I've never never had this. The closest
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I think would would be New Orleans, you know, when
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: we first went there, and then in college, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: with the same thing. You know, we had a lot
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of these young guys coming in and playing UM and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it was good and and you know, yes, I in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: college I did see it. I would call it Jane,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you know, growing pains. I saw that in the college
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: UM format um, I don't. I don't see that, nor
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: uh would I expect that out of the players that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we put on the field. Now. That's Doug Marone earlier today,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: spoke the media before practice at t I A. A.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Bank Field. According to the NFL research logs, the Jags
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: had the fourth youngest roster in the league as of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the middle of this week, with an average a twenty
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: five years a d twenty one days. Only the Rams, Dolphins,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and Vikings were younger as of the middle of the week.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And that's just by a matter of a few days
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: or months. So, yeah, we say it's young, it is
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: literally one of the youngest in the league. Yeah, but
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you've got to remember to JP that that calculation has
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: made based on the roster that's not even finalized yet.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Wait until this Jaguars team decides to make it's it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: roster cutdown and they get to fifty three. I don't
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: think there is any question that they may be the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: youngest team in the National Football League. I think they
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: may be one of the youngest teams. Ever, as far
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: as experience in the National Football League, this is gonna
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: be an incredibly young football team. It's gonna have some
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: growing pains, But at the same token, as long as
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: they're growing, you feel good about a year in which
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you have that money, youth, or that many got young
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: guys playing on your football team. They were pretty darn
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: young back too, aren't they remember that? Yeah? Yeah, they're
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: pretty young then. But you know what, here's the difference.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You had. How many draft picks this past spring? Twelve? Right? Twelve? Correct? Okay,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: so you got twelve draft picks. Do you see any
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of those draft picks not making this football team right now?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I would be really surprised if they were all not
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: around next week. Yes, okay, so if you're keeping twelve rookies,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I mean we're going back to the expansion see where
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you had, you know, extra draft picks and everything like that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: As far as the number of draft picks that you have.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: You know, but here's the thing. Um. Back in you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: this football team was supplemented with a lot of guys
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that were in free agency, and so you had a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: lot of additions to that where this team had some
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: participation in free agency, but some of the free agent
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: acquisitions that they got have opted out or been forced
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to retire or whatever happened. So this football team is
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: going to be incredibly young. Uh, and it's not gonna
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: be just one side of the ball. I mean this,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this isn't a Okay, let's just reconstruct the defensive side
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of the ball. Let's reconstruct the offensive side of the ball.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I mean right now, this is a reconstruction across the board. Now.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I mean you've got uh, certain components of the defense
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and the back end. You're talking about the interior, the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: defensive line, on the edge. I mean on offense, you've
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: got a wide receiver position that has two young draft picks.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: You've got drafted tight end, undrafted tight end there possibly
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: gonna be in the mix, undrafted running backs. I mean,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be uh pretty interesting because
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you know, when you factor in that the undrafted running
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: backs have a strong possibility of making this team. You
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: could end up having maybe fourteen rookies end up making
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this football team. That's a huge number. That is a
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: huge not's a lot, that's a lot. Indeed, it is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: no doubt about that. And all of that on the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: offensive side, to be led by a second year quarterback
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew no to lean on anymore to carry
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the ball five times games so this is Gardner Minshew's deal.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks yesterday said, basically, the training wheels are off,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: this is your offense Gardner. And Doug Moron was asked
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: about Minshew's mindset. Is he ready for opening day? Mentally?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I I feel really good. I mean I really do.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I mean he's on top of it. Uh, you know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: he's always been real sharp that way. Um. Right now
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: we're just kind of rest him and and you know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: get him ready for for next week. So uh, you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna take a step back, and you know,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: he's done everything that we've asked him to do. Um,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you know, mentally he's he's he's right on, right on target.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: You know. Now it's a matter of, hey, listen to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: all these guys have been through camp. They've been through
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a lot um. Now it's a matter of just pull
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: him back, you know, over these next couple of days
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and then you know, Monday come in and you know,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: my goal is to have everybody, you know, feeling and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that's sometimes you're asking too much the air because you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: don't really never played this game at a hundred percent,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: but you know, just getting him ready to go. We
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: heard from Gardnent show after practice. Will hear some of
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: his comments coming up a little later. But but he
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: understands what's at stake here obviously for him, I mean,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it's his opportunity, is the starter going into the season
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in training camp for the first time really since high school,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: he said before. But he also knows what else is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: on the line. If they don't win games. Um, he
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and the decision makers are probably all out of here.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: He said that today, and we'll hear him coming up
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a little bit later. So there's a lot of pressure
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: obviously on Gardner to begin with, and now the elite
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: running back is not around. So this feels like logs
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to me, a lot of Gardner mintshew this year, which
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't really unexpected. I think going in, well, I don't
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: know about that. I mean, look, there's other running backs
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that are capable of filling that role, but not just
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: one of them. I think it's gonna take a collection
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of the running back room to be able to replace
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the numbers that Leonard Fournette had. I mean, after all,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: what he counted forty or almost one third of the offense,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and and he was really the primary thought on on
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: any situation and you know, and I don't know if
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that's a reason, because you know, going back all the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: way to seventeen, he was considered to be a great
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: player and he had a quarterback who wasn't so good,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and you were trying to keep the ball out of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: his hands. But the reality is is that Leonard Fournette
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: was a dependable game day player, was the dependable non
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: game day type of player. I don't know. I mean,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it's interesting to me that a lot of the conversation
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: about Leonard Fournette, they talked about how that this wasn't
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a decision about Leonard Fournette as a person or anything
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: of that nature. But the reality is is that you
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: just don't cut a guy if the decision wasn't based
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: on something besides just production. Uh. To me, that's another
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: we talked about that cultured decision. J P And Uh,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough, tough go of it trying
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to find a you know, one guy that can replace
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: his number. So it's gonna take multiple guys and and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I think with J. Gruden's offense are gonna be dynamic.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have a lot of guys feel different roles
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and uh, and they feel good about what they got
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: without Leonard Fournette. Obviously they wouldn't have let Leonard Fournette go,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you know, because of cultural reasons, if if they didn't
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: feel good about what they could get out of the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: other guys. Yeah, I think my point I was trying
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to make about it's Gardner's offense. Well, he's got to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: spread it out to all those different guys. Now. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: remember Leonard led the team in receptions last year too.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: He was the leading receiver by catching, which is not good.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: That that's not good. You don't want your running back
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to be the leading receiver, you know. So the quarterbacks
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: got to throw it to to other people. I mean, look,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: if it's Tom Brady and he's thrown at the running
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: back and running back as an integral part of the offense,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and if J Gruden's gonna run that kind of offense,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: sure throw it to the running back. But last year,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that's not how this offense was built to be successful.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: That was like the afterthought, Okay, nothing else is there,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: We've got to check it down to the running back.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't as if Leonard Fournett caught a bunch
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: of balls and every time he caught the ball on
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a pass that it was a dynamic play and it
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: made an impact in the game a lot more just
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: mediocre yards, and so you gotta be able to graduate
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and take that next step as a quarterback. And it's
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be a pressure packed here for Minshew. When I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: say that, more pressure on on external nature or people's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: opinion of the situation, because Gardner Minshew is not a
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: guy that gives the appearance that he is swayed or
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: impacted by pressure. I just don't get that opinion. But
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the reality is that Minshew's got up his game JP.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: You know, from watching the scrimmage on on Saturday, I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: don't think it was a particularly strong performance. And so
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he's got to be able to bring his game up,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: especially with the departure of a guy that provided so
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: much for the offense, and then you've got to find
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a way to replace that. Gardner minshe has got to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: be a big part of that. But also the running
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: back room and the coaching staff has to find creative
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: ways to get other guys the ball. It's a lot
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that has happened this week. Of course, we'll a little
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: later in the show get on the defensive side breakdown
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that in Goquay deal and and Alan and Chason really
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: solidifying there at the rush end position, and get your
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: thoughts on on that move that the Jaguars made this
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: week as well. We'll come back in a moment though,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and visit with the senior VP of Sales and Service,

• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Johnson is with us today, senior VP of Sales and Service.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon. What's going on down hey, guys. We're we're excited.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Ten days away. As you mentioned, fans are coming back
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to t I bank Field, and in fact on I
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: think there's thirteen game is being played that day and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: we'll be the only one that has fans live here
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: in the stadiums. So we've taken a lot of precautions
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to make sure that we're ready. Boy and Chad. Saturday
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: when the Jaguars were scrimmaging, some of those precautions were
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: well on display. Uh. The extent that you guys are
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: going through to make sure that fans feel comfortable and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: are safe, it's pretty amazing. Yeah. You know, Um, there's
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: two things. We have a lot of fans that want
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to come, but they also have to be willing to come,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and to be willing to come, they have to know
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that our building is going to be safe, sanitized and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: easy for them. So we've invested a lot of resources
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and it starts in the time they get into the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: parking lots to the time they leave, where we can
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: limit contact and have a safe, sanitary experience for them. Yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: there's some examples of what what that those things are
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: because you talk about, uh, the incredible commitments, because I
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: mean from Panita, sanitizing stations, touchless paying for things, tickets. Yeah, um,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: from the time you get here, we're socially distancing the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: parking spaces so you have extra room when you come in.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: We've purchased new magnetometers that will allow you to keep
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: your cell phone and keys on your person, hold that
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: clear bag and walk right through, so again eliminating a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: touch point. We're purchasing self man's ticket scanners so fans
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: can go right up and scan their ticket. We've invested
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: in mobile ordering so you can order food and beverage
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: right from your seat, get a text alert when it's ready,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: show your phone and they'll scan that QR code and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: your foods they're waiting. So we've we've really limited the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: contact points, but we've done so in a way that's
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: taken a lot of investment, both in time and resources
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to get ready. Chad Johnson with US, Senior VP of
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Sales and Service for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags at
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Home next Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts to open the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: regular season. How difficult was it to get the socially
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: disk since seating chart and you know, how did you
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: guys come up with the chart this year and how
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: long did that process take for you and your staf So,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: so just to get the seating manifest already took us
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: about three weeks. We started with using our partner ticket
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Master and some technology they have that can build out
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: what it would look like on paper, but then once
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: you get in the actual seating bowl, it's a little
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: bit different, right, So we we took that and and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: really went and developed a little seating pods. You can
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: have groups of two, four, six, um, making sure you
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: have space both behind you and in front of you.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And then when we went through the stadium, what's really
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: interesting is we have different size seats all throughout the stadium.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: We have eighteen inch nineteen inch one inch seats, so
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: we actually had to measure each pod, uh personally to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: make sure we had the six foot of space that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: we need for the physical distancing. Um, we're actually out
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: there now zip tying the seats closed that won't be used,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: so the entire stadium will have their uh unused seats
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: ZIP tied and we'll have to walk through and double
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: check that to make sure it's accurate about trying to
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: get a seat. You know, if if they're interested and
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: let's say buying four game day tickets, I mean, do
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they have to be season ticket holders? Can anybody call
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars and say, hey, look, I'm looking for this
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: number of seats. How does that work? Yeah, yeah, Jeff.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: So we started with selling season tickets, so we did
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: go to our current members and a number of them
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: purchased the full season package, and then last week we
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: did open up the individual game tickets, so those are
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: available on ticketmaster dot com or by calling our office.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: What's important to know though, is that you're required to
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: purchase the entire pod. So if there's a group of six,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you see, you won't be able to purchase just two
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: seats of that six. You would have to go into
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a separate two seat pod. So the technology is helping
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: force that fan behavior to keep that pot integrity and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: make sure the guests are in your inner circle and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you know that they're safe as well. Chad Johnson with
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: US VP of Sales and Service, Senior VP of sales
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and service for the Jacksonville Jaguars. You mentioned it off
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the top. I mean week on, the Jags will be
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the only UM building with fans in the National Football League.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: How much do you discuss the ideas like this with
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: other teams in the league, get ideas from different marketplaces
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: of how they're going about it. How much conversation happens
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: from from marketplace to marketplace when it comes to COVID
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, we're We're on calls multiple times
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: a week with our peers. UM. The Kansas City Chiefs
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: will actually be the first team to open with fans.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: They play on Thursday night, UM, as I mentioned, will
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: be the only team on Sunday. And there's another another UH.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Other teams that are going up, the Miami Dolphins, the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, and most teams are really wanting to. It's
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: just a matter of getting their plans approved by whether
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the city or state officials. And we started working on
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: our plan back in June. So our goal from minute
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: one was always how do we welcome fans back safely,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: get that process approved, then go build the manifest and
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: work on the business side of it. So I think
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: we were. We were really ahead of the game because
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it was so important to us in Axonville. Our fans
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: are such an important part of our success. And um,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to be able to do this on Sunday
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with Chad, with you guys working with the city and
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: local officials to come up with a plan of you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: what you can do in the stadium as far as
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: fans goes. How is that process with those folks and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: uh and was it? Uh partnership completely from beginning to end. Yeah,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of entities involved in putting on a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: successful Jaguars game, right A sm Global who manages the
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: building on behalf of the city, our partners at Delaware
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: North Food and Beverage, UM Safe Security, and that group
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Fanatics are partners. So we had to get everybody rowing
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: in the right direction. Then we worked with the City
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: of Jacksonville, the medical director, city officials to make sure
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: from minute one we had to buy in. From minute one,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: we're all rowing in the right direction. And uh, it
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: really was a great partnership to to get this plan together.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: It's about a two document are back to football protocol
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that we submitted is about a two page document with
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: all the things we're doing. Wow, that's a lot of change,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of planning to get to
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: this point. We're right on the doorstep of the season now, Chad,

  Speaker 1: they looked at it, Um, Ronnie Harrison's iman out. Um,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: So you know, you have to trust the evaluation of
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Doug and and Dave and the rest of the staff
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that they're making the best choices to give this team
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the best chance of winning. Um in the big picture,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: you don't love you know, drafted a guy in the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: third round and two years later and a guy that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you expected to be a pretty big piece of your
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: defense moving forward, a young young guy. You drafted him
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: to be a starter at the safety position, and you
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: have to move on so quickly decepter two years and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: only get a fifth round in return. Yeah, lex you
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: mentioned that earlier. That's that is a quick turnaround. But um,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you know, I guess the question is is this They've
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: had a lot of changes in the last week. I
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: don't know if I put the move in this realm
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: of the last two of Fournette being waived and and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Harrison being traded today, but are they done blocks well,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: you know, look, I don't know. I mean, they could
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: end up, you know, having a trade and bring some
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: people in, or they could try to trade one of
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the wide receivers, because I think it's a pretty talented room.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think it's just a lot
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the question of tanking and all that comes up because
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: all of that happened at once, you know, and obviously
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the Angoquay situation has been something that's been going on
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: all the way back to when the off season started,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: in free agency started, and then the Leonard Fournette thing.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: It was kind of going on in the draft. It
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: was rumors would Leonard Fournette be traded during the draft,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and then the Ronnie Harrison thing. I don't want to
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: say it comes out of the blue, because it's not
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: completely a surprise to me, but when it all kind
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: of happens together, that's where I think people start saying, Okay, well,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars are tanking. But and if you're Gardner Minshew
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: or Josh Allen or any member of this Jaguars football team,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the last thing in the world you want to be
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: doing is to be answering questions about your thoughts on
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: people thinking that you're tanking and you haven't even played
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: a game yet. I mean that that's gonna be incredibly
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: discouraging from a player's standpoint. I mean, Tony, we were
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: we didn't have anybody asking this question, are you guys
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: tanking so you can get a better draft pick in
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: we'd have that even as an expansion team. Yeah, no,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: it's not great, Jeff. To your point, I mean it's
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: a distraction and you never want your guys have an
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: answer those type of questions. But if you think about it,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of this is coming from the external. Um.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: You know we're close to the team. And if I
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: would have told you at the end of last year's
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: we evaluated this team and kind of where they're going, Um,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: would we be surprised that uh and goquay was not
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: on this roster. I don't think any of us would
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: have said now, probably better than not chance he's not.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: We thought maybe he'd been traded earlier. Maybe you got
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: at higher pick um, whatever. UM. I think all of
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: us talked about you know, letter for that's a big,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: big name nationally because he was picked in the top five. UM, Jeff,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you and I've talked about it at length. Is he
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the right Was he the right fit for this team?
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Was he the right fit for the offense they want
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to run? I mean in a single back out of
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the shotgun, a lot of inside outside zone. UM really
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't fit his skill set? Probably, Um. And if you
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: asked that he'd perform at a high level where he
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: was a dominant back that you would expect to get
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: as a top five pick. I don't think anyone internally
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: would say, yeah, and we're happy with the pick, with
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: all the things that have gone on, UM, in a
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: combination of on the field and off the field. And
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: so I don't think Jeff, I know you and I
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: would not have been surprised if you'd have told us that, UM,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: when we talked in January and wrapping up the year,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: that Leonard Fournett would not be on this team. UM.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: And then if you at Ronnie Harrison and you look
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: at the production, and UM, I don't think he had
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a great year second year. I think there was a
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: lot more expectations that he'd take a bigger step as
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a first year starter because he had a promising rookie year.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he was a bad player by any means,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: but I think the thought was, UM, they need to
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: get better at safety, they need to get better at
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the middle of that defense. UM. And after looking at
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: it and going through camp and looking at the draft,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: pick the young guy Jones that you got wingered, who
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: played some significant snaps, especially the second half of last year. UM,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: and the rest of that group, I think they felt
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: like UM, looking at the room, looking at the locker
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: room and the production, the actual real production. Take the
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: names off the jersey, um, take the names of where
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: they are drafted and everything else. You know, uh, take
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: that away for a second. Now, I don't like trading
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: third round picks and getting a fifth two years later.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: And I don't like drafting guys in the top five
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: that don't end up being a part of your long
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: term plan. Um, that's not good. But if you set
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: that aside, it's as some costs, as they say in business, Um,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you don't get those back. You have to make the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: decisions that are best for the ball club moving forward.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: And in my estimate, estimate, estimate, uh, in my estimate,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: none of this um really speaks to this team tanking
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: because none of it surprises me that much. Now, I
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: think the one thing that probably a little a little
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: hard to take for for the fan base and and
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: even for me, it's like wow, I mean when you
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: think about it, and Leonard fornts a top five pick,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: and that was a draft where you had a year
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: in which Blake Portals did not you know, have a
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: great year in the previous year, and so you you
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: bypass two franchise quarterbacks are possible franchise quarterbacks. I don't
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: think there's any debate about Patrick Mahomes, and most people
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: would be in agreement that Deshaun Watson is as a
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: franchise guy too. So I think from from a fan standpoint,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: when you have, yeah, those two guys that are still
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: in the league and considered some of the best young
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the game, and Patrick Mahomes might be the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: brightest young quarterback to the end of the game in years,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: and you could have had either one of those guys
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and the guy that you picked in that spot you
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: just cut. I mean that that's that's a that's a
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: tough thing. And so so I get some of the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: frustration that some of the fans because look, I mean
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: when Leonard Fournette got cut, I mean I got my phone.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know about your phone, Tony, but my phone
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: was blowing up from friends and and family and and
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: associates that are all and you know, big fans of
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars and big fans of football, and they're like,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: what what in the world you know? So but I mean,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: it is what it is, and and uh, and I
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: definitely would say that there was more to it than
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: just a from a talent standpoint with Leonard Fournette. You know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: they kept talking as I said this earlier with J P. Tony, Uh,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: they kept talking about culture and culture and culture in
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: the off season and throughout training camp. I think there
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: was more than just production based decision here with Leonard Fournette. Check.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, all your points are good ones, but I
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: go back to we can't we don't get a redoen
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: when we picked winner for Nett and didn't take um
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: My Homes or Watson and said it on Monday night, UM,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, well, that's Tom Coughlin's pick,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: that's the guy he wanted, UM. And I don't think
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: that's a doubt. I mean, he wanted a big back
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: and he wanted to be physical. But I also think
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: it was because, you know, Dave Caldwell felt like they
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: had a franchise quarterback in in in Blake Portals. And
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: so you can go back and play you know, detective
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: and you know, break down every little aspect of what
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: we should have done, and you know and kind of
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: do an autopsy post you know, post mortem um and
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: figure out the mistakes and what happened. But the reality
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: is is you sit here in you to make decisions
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: what's best to move forward. UM. So I get what
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: you're saying, and I think it's fair for the fans
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: to be frustrated because it's not just the frustration of
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Leonard Porn getting cut after being the top five pick
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: four years ago when we needed a quarterback, or that
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison in the third rounder that you're, you know,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: a year ago telling the fan base that this is
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: a guy we're gonna build around on defense, is gonna
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: be one of our safeties. Um. And then beyond issues
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: and all that, it goes to the bigger frustration of
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: this team having one productive year, uh in the last
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: decade um plus. And that's the season. And so all
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: that put together is where the frustration of the fans
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: comes in, come in, comes in, And I understand it,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: and I can't blame them for being frustrated. But I
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: think at the same time, you have to separate, Um,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: you know what happened in because that's done. You don't
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: get the do over. You don't get to go back
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and say, oops, um, can we have the homes now?
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: We'll give you for a net. Um. You don't get
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to make those decisions. And now you just gotta make
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the best decisions for the for the ball club moving forward.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: And I think if you look at it, Jeff, I'll
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: ask you, Um, do you think that Leondard four Nette
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: gave this team the best chance to win running back
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: in the way they want to play. Now, I'm not
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: saying they should have cut him. I'm not saying having
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: a guy like Leondard Fournett on your team. Isn't um
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: that he's a bad player, that he can't play in
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: this league. That's obviously not true. He is a NFL player.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: But if you look at the situation last year where
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: he got all the touches, um, and you look at
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the ardage and the receptions. Now, if you're going into
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: a year where you're gonna tell him that, hey, we're
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: gonna cut that product, that volume of touches by fifty
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: because of the way we want to play, um, how
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: would that go over? And what does that mean for
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: the football team? And is it the best situation to
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: keep on your four net when you know that's the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: direction you're going. No, I'm with you, because you know
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: what when you when you tell a player like Leonard
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Fournett that then Leonard is not gonna be a happy camper,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: and then what's your culture like? Then when you have
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: a running back who used to be a big part
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: of the offense, then all of a sudden he's asked
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: to take a lesser role. He's not a happy camper
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. So, uh so I get it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I totally understand it. But it's just unfortunate
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: that that things of this time mean for first and foremost,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: it's unfortunate that you wouldn't weren't able to get anything
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: for him. I mean, Doug Brown said JP that they tried,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: but it's just surprising because you know, look, if you're cutting,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I don't care if somebody's a top five pick, a
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: top pick overall in the draft. If you can get
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: a biscuit and a cup of coffee, you're gonna take
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: a biscuit and a up a coffee. So it's not
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: like you just said, oh, we don't care about getting
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: any value for Leonard Fournette. Literally nobody wanted to give
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: anything up for Leonard Fournette. I mean that wow, wow, yeah,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: but you know what they're gonna have to pay for
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: him and Deef it's a it's a small community. People talk,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: they understand. It's what what you do as a player
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: on the field is part of it. What you do
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: off the field, the locker room and kind of perception
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: that other teams have you also go into it. And
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: again not that Leonard Fournet is not an NFL running back.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: He is. But you have to weigh everything in it,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: uh way, it all together, which includes salary off the field,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: you know, on the field, production, all those things, and
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: and that will really determine your value to a football team.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: And I think obviously no one was willing to give
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: up a draft pick Um and maybe it was because
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: they do that Jackson was gonna cut them one way
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: or another, and they can get him without having the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: trade for him. Who knows, but it is a little
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: bit shocking to me as well that they couldn't get
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: anything even the seventh rounder. Tony was sally with us
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Jeff Lagman J P. Shadrick's Jaguars Happy Hour. We heard
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: from from Gardener Minshew at the top of the segment. Guys,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and you know he was under some pressure anyway obviously
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback going into this season. But you
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: heard him discuss there all the tanking stuff, and he
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: knows what's at stake here with everything going on. Um,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: but he seems like Tony at least the short time
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: we've been around him. But he has the personality type
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: to to block a lot of that stuff away and
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: focus on the task at hand. How difficult will that
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: be as this season goes along, if things go well
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: or don't go as well as they should. I never
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: worry about the mental side of it with Gardner at all.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I mean this and the and the challenges that he
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: might face, the you know, being an underdog or put
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: an extra pressure on them, or new systems or anything
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: like that. I mean the guy in like five different
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: systems in college in five different years. I mean, he
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: was all over the place and and found a way
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: to have success amidst it all. He got thrown in
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: after eleven plays last year as a rookie, and um,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: you know acquitted himself nicely. Um. So I don't worry
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: about that. Um you know, I think what we you know,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: if I when I think about Gardner, minshew, I think
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: about it. Can he take the next step? Is he
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: is he the type of player that can carry a
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: team from the quarterback position, um you were, you know,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: you asked the questions about arm strength and stuff that
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: we saw, you know, you know, last year was questionable,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: and I think we've seen a little bit of being
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: a question in training camp at times. I mean we're
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: hearing that they're gonna get him rest, let him rest
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: his arm basically until you know, opening day and kind
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: of give a little bit of a breather there. Uh
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and just you know, look at the mental side. So
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: those are the things I worry about, not so much
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: of him being able to handle, you know, the distractions
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: and the you know, the extra noise. I mean, part
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: of me thinks he thrives on it because that's what
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: he's done his you know, look at his college career
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: and even last year coming in after a place. Let's
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: go back in a moment, guys, we will touch on

• 48:22
  Speaker 1: know it goes back to this process that's already started
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: to weigh on me. I think you guys have been
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: around me enough to know, you know, this time of
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: year when, um, you know, having been in this position
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: like a lot of the players, you know, many times,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: and having been cut obviously six times at least six times. Um,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: it's tough to think that. You know. You know, everyone
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: that's been on that field has given everything we had.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: That's all you can ask for. Um. You know, everybody
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: on that field has has a skill I mean a
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: skill set. Um. So you know, I just I know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: for from my standpoint, you know, appreciative I am of
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: you know, the amount of work you know that all
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: these players that put in and coach Doug Moron today
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: before practice Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shadrick, Jeff Flagerman,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Tony Basselli. Final few moments here we will hear from
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Doug Maron coming up at five o'clock on the Doug
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Moron Show, and we'll get his thoughts on the Ronnie
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Harrison trade, the first comments from any Jaguars decision makers
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: after that deal was made about three o'clock officially today.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: And you know, he's always um. He sounds just like
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: that every year leading up to cut down day. Guys.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: You know, he's been through this thing, he said, six
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: times at least as a player, so he understands what
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: that maybe sometimes short interaction when you cut a player
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: means to that player. And he remembers the ones that
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: happened to him throughout his career coming up in the
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: nash the Football League. So you know, Tony, it's a
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: tough day for Doug. He he he appreciates everything that's
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: happened on the field, but at some point, you gotta
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: it's a business. You gotta cut the team and move on. Yeah,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: I mean it's no fun. I mean, I think a
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, and you know, outside of
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: athletics can understand. You know, you get fired or someone
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: let you go for whatever reason. Sometimes especially you know,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: look we look in this pandemic, you know time we
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: live in around COVID. I mean people have lost their
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: jobs and done a great good workers and it just
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: there's no place and a lot of times in the
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: NFL it's the same thing as as Doug said. These
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: are guys that do have skill sets. Some will end
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: up on other teams. Um, but you have to get
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: down to a number. It's no fun to do for anybody.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: It's not fun for the players. Um, it's not from
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: for the coaches. But it's part of the process and
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: it's a necessary and because you have a number you
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: have to get to and that that day is coming
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: pretty quick. Let me ask both of you guys think
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: it'll be pretty interesting? Is JP as well? Because what
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: happens after the cut? Because I mean, look, I think
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: they probably could cut the roster right now. I don't
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: think they're wavering on any position or trying to figure
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: out who to keep or who to release. I think
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: they got pretty good idea of exactly what the roster
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: makeup is gonna be. But the interest from me is
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: also because you have a practice squad that you may
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: have to depend on this year like no other year,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: and you've got an expanded practice squad to sixteen. Are
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: you gonna have all sixteen of those come from your
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: roster that you had in training camp, or or is
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: it gonna be like we've seen in the past with
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: a young team, which the Jaguars have committed to, do
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: they start bringing in other guys that maybe they liked
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: that other teams aren't holding onto. Or do they bring
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: in maybe some veteran guys that maybe a talent rich
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: team at defensive tackle lets a guy go and the
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Jaguars feel like that they can make an upgrade there,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: you know. So I think there's some intrigue things that
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: are gonna happen with this football team. I don't think
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: by any means they're done um manipulating the roster. And
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about trading more guys. I'm talking about
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: maybe changing out some positions and adding some guys that
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: maybe let go from other teams or maybe even acquired
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: in a trade. So much like you you go all
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the way back to third team, the number of roster
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: transactions that this team had. I think, Tony, we had
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: a bet on it and you ended up winning because
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: it was so many of them. I think this year
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: is going to be very active, just like that year.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: And the hard part about that, though, Jeff is like,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: what are you making those decisions based on because you
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: didn't have a prese evaluation. Yeah, it's a college valuation.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: You're exactly right. It's either college valuation or last year's
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: tape evaluation. If it's a one, you know, a first
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: year player that was in the NFL last year. So um,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: it's not like you can look at the preseason and say,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: hey we like this guy. Look, man, you look good
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: on tape. It's really from past um, past work, your scouting,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Your scouting department is done, and so I think it.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I do agree, there's gonna be some movement. It's just
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: interesting like you're making some bets on guys that you
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: haven't seen in any real action. J T. Thomas was
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: one of the most notable names that year in that
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: was claimed by the Jags, and I think week one,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: if I remember right, he had a blocked punt on
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: special teams for the Jags in this first game of action,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: just a week after less than a week than joining
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: the team. Let's go around the National Football League and
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: we'll start with a former Jaguar goes right down the
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: road to Tampa one year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: and uh boy, would have moved down there for for
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: net one year deal. Tony, how's it gonna fit in
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: in Tampa? Well, I thought it was interesting. I was
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: reading an arcle today and Bruce Arians basically said it's
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: running back by committee. Everyone has a role and they
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: can do something. Uh. And if I'm not a mistaken
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I read that they thought they liked Leonard for Nett
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: because he's a good pass walker. Um, and Bruce Arians
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: was very clear that Ronald Jones, which is their second
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: year pick of two years ago the University of Southern California,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: will be their feature guy. Will He'll be the guy.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: And then um, Shady McCoy who signed it as a
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: free agent, and Leonard Fournette will have roles within the offense.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: So UM, listen, guys get hurt, things change throughout the year. Um,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: you know, I am no ill wills against Leonard Fodette
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: at all. Wish him the best, hope hope, I hope
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: he has success. Um, but it's gonna be a big
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: change for Leonard because, um, you know one, he's going
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: to a team that's a favorite uh in the NFL
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: with Tom Brady and Gronk and the rest of the
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: you know group that they have UH, and that they've
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: brought in UH to that team. But he's also gonna
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: go to be a role player. He's not gonna be
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: the franchise back. The offense isn't gonna go around him. Um,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna have a specific role to play, and
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have to like it's a different It's that's different.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: He's never experienced that. From the time he's laced him
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: up the first time, I guarantee Leonard Fourdette has been
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: the best player when he stept on the field and
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: he was a focal point of that team from you know,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: peewee foot ball, the high school football that l s
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: U and then when he came to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: And this will be a new experience for him. Will
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: he have to play special teams? He might. He might
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: have to play a little special team because if you're
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: not the feature back, I mean, look at backs that
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: are active on game day and they're not the feature back,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: you're expected to contribute on special teams. So he may
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: end up having to do that. I also think it's
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting to see how Tom Brady and
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: UH and Leonard four Nette mesh because Tom Brady is
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: very no nonsense. He's the team first guy. He's very demanding. Uh,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: he can be very critical of some of his players,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: and from what I understand, it takes him a very
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: long time to have trust and guys that are around him.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: So that will be an interesting watch in Tampa. But
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: I wish him nothing but the best. And it's just
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: a shame that it didn't work out here and work
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: out better for all parties involved. The NFL Commissioner Roger
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Goodell's that he and the Composition Committee agree that there's
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: no competitive advantage if some teams have fans in the
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: stands and others don't logs. Do you agree, No, I
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: don't agree. But but here's the thing, JP. We're in
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: the middle of a world pandemic. I mean, and you
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: know you're hearing coaches, coaches, and you're hearing some general
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: managers that are out there that are complaining that another
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: team in their division may have an advantage because they're
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: gonna have fans and they're not going to be able
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: to have fans. I mean, for heaven's sakes, can can
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: can we stop complaining about a situation that, look, we
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: nobody has any control over. Let's just be happy and
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: be happy as a coach and be happy as the
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: general manager that you're gonna be able to play football. Okay,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to pipe in crowd noise. Okay.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: Do you think fifteen thousand in the in t I
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: bank Field is going to have that big of an
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: impact on whether you win or lose? I mean, I mean, seriously,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's some of the most ridiculous baby whineing
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: stuff that I've heard in a long time from some
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: of these coaches and general managers that are complaining about
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: competitive advantages. But but look, the fact is that there
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: there is an advantage when you have fans and you don't.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: But that's just the way it is. So just accept
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: it and let's move one. Yeah, and I agree with
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: about fifty percent of what you said. I mean again,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: let's get a little perspective, like, are you kidding me?
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: This is what we're gonna go plaining about about whether
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: we have fans or not. Let's be happy we're playing football. Um,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any competitive advantage or disadvantage to that. Uh,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: here's the reality. They're gonna be able to pipe in
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: like eighty five ninety decibels of crowd noise whatever it is. UM.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: By the way, capacity UM fifteen to seventeen thousand fans,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: whatever the number is. You know, if you have Pittsburgh,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: I think they're it's fifty eight thousand or whatever. So
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: you're talking that it's like eleven or twelve thousand people
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: in that stadium. They can't make that much noise. It
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's not gonna make one bit of difference
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: whether they are there or you give cardboard board cutouts
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: UM sitting in the stands, because the uh crowd noise
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: that you can pipe in will drown out people in
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: any stadium in this country. Alright. So there you have it.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: On a couple of big notes. Some other notes. The
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: NFL and the Players Association issued a joint statement today
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: all league, union and team facilities will be closed on
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: election Day in November to ensure every member of the
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: NFL family has the opportunity to vote. And NFL Media
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: and YouTube TV announced the carriage agreement to bring the
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: NFL Network and Red Zone channel to YouTube TV. NFL
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: network available in the base package the add on Sports
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Plus package. We haven't um Interesting, which by the way.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: I agree with the NFL shutting down letting everyone go vote. Um,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you need the whole day to
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: go vote. Pretty much, you probably can get that done
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: in a couple of hours, like if everyone just went
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: and did it. But I get I think it's smart voting.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: It's critical, it's part of our country. You need to
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: go vote for that. But I find it interesting, Um,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: we'll take the full day off for the vote with
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: the right move. But every other holiday does not exist
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, Christmas, Thanksgiving, no matter what it is,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: you're gonna work those days. Maybe, but it's always been
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: like that, so it's funny to me. But it is
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: the right move. You need to highlight voting. Um, I
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: don't know if you need all day, but every player
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: should vote. Every person listen to us should vote. When
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: it comes to who our next leader is going to be, Tony,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to you next week. Love's hang on, Doug
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Morons coone, I'm J P. Shadrick. We'll do it. We'll
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: ask about Ronnie Harrison after this. It's Jaguars Happy Hour
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network.
