• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Jack Bars. Did you go Jack Jack Wars? Did you Jackuars?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Finding sex? Steps to John Days It actually I'm Jaguars
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Drive a time starts right now. Welcome in Jaguars Drive
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Time at Tuesday morning, at the end of June, our
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: last Jaguars Drive Time before we take a little two
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: week vacation. Guys, it almost seems like we've been on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: vacation in the past four months, still doing the show,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: but we're still gonna take vacation. John doesn't know about you,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: but John is working every day I was. That was
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: pointed out to me weeks ago that no matter how
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I felt about this, John saw it as nine to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: five Monday through Friday. Many Yeah, day's work for a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: day's pay, right, That's my motto. The next couple of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: weeks to be able to step back a little bit. Uh,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it's a weird time. It's it's hard to know in
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a way, guys, how to take the vacation, what that
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: really means when you have to be back. So it's, uh,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it's a strange time. And do you guys, I'm still
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: sort of attached to the house far more than even
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: me who likes to be in my little cave anyway. Um,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: but it's it's weird how times sort of flies and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: then drags at the same time. It's uh, it's been
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: an odd time, even for me who lives in an
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: odd world. Yeah. So the point where after this vacation,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we're used to coming back and going boom right into
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: training camp and now an eight month period of just
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: constant work and we don't even know if that's going
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, I just mean everything is unpredictable. Yeah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I've said several times I know
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: they're going to start the season. How deep into it
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: they get is still the variable. And people who argue
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: with me, I point out that Major League Baseball never started,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the National Hockey League and NBA Bowl stopped and haven't resumed.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So when they say, oh, they'll get it, hold on,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: there is no guarantee how deep they get into it
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: when they started, when they ended, how many games? Um,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it really is and and aston John and I have
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: done this so long now that our year is kind
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of this would be the week where I would be
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: stopping getting ready to take the kids to boy scout
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: camp and take a couple of days and weeks of
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: vacation and then come back like you said, boom, ready
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to go refreshed. Well, I know that I'm going to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: come back from Colorado and I'm gonna be wondering what
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: do we do now because we don't know when it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: all going to start. Yes, all this routine is no
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: longer routine, that's for sure. As we get into big things,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and Big thing one is numbers of growing a spike
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in Florida's pods of Corona cases in the past week
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and across the league as a whole. So far, we
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: know six NFL teams has had players or coaches test positive.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: With the possible training camp hopefully looming in about a month.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: What does that mean for the Jaguars. We'll get into
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: at sticking with our coronavirus talk. Big thing two is
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a three tier system. The NFL has created a tier
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: system for re entreat into team facilities. Teams must let
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the league know who is in what tier seven days
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: before their first training camp practice. Tier one is gonna
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: direct access to players. Only those Tier one people will
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: be allowed in locker rooms and practice fields. It's going
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to change big time how fans consume football. Less people
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: will be allowed around these players more than we have
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: ever seen before. And now to actual XS and o's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: football talk, Big Thing three is Shanahan Systems. The head
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: coach of the forty Niners who made it to the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year, just got a big time contract
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and part of that is for installing an offensive system
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that has many teams attempting to make their own Shannahan system,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: punishing running game with complimentary path attack. How will Jay
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Gruden be able to keep up with this? So, guys,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: we we talked a little bit about the coronavirus, let's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: stick with big three here with this Shanahan system and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Brian we were talking this morning. We were talking about
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it's almost similar to the zone blitz. You had everyone
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: start that big zone blitz scheme and now it's almost
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: an everyday thing in football. Well, it's it's a copycat league.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And John will agree with us for a couple of reasons. One,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: if you do it well, the rest of the league
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: spend the entire offseason trying to figure out how to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: slow you down. Right, and as guys get jobs, right,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, what was it to three years ago that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: everything seemed to emanate from Los Angeles and from the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Rams and and what they were doing so successfully out there.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And if you trace it back to the first Shanahan,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan, who had back to back Super Bowl championships
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos in the late nineteen nineties, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: then Gary Kubiak spreads his wings and goes to Houston
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and and it just was like an explosion from there
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of people who had the same offensive mentality. Well, it's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the same thing with Tom Paper's on defense. At one
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: point the zone blitz was limited to the Pittsburgh's Dealers
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, boom, it's spread out
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: as well. There's no doubt it's a copycat league. But
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: what you find over again, I've been during this twenty
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: five years, so of you, Bryan, generally speaking, the first guy,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the guy who people are copying, it really doesn't ever
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: get emulated to the point that people wanted to because
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: usually that guy's really good looking towards his own personnel.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: In the early in the mid nineties, Mike Shahan also
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: had Alice Gibbs, who is maybe the best offensive line
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: coach teaching the way they rent they blocked that thing.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So I do expect teams to to continue to take
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: pieces from Shanahan's approach. But Jay Gruden, remember is running
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean right, he's running John Gruden's offense. They've been
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: running it a long time. He knows how he wants
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to play it. I still think this is going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: be more of a past intermediate past in lieu of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a dominant running game because the West Coast offense, remember,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: is all about let's pass short and have that be
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: part of our running attack. I don't think you're gonna
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: see all of a sudden the Jaguars go to this
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: zone scheme blitzing and try to completely emulate it. But
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: certainly teams will follow Shanahan a little bit until they
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: realize this guy has built the personnel to run this.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know that it works if you don't have
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the personnelity, if you haven't been drafting to that all
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the time, well you're Jackie right. And Patrick Mahomes is
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the best example of that. You can try and do
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: what they do in Kansas City, but unless you have
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, you're not going to copy. I'm more sank
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: just to see what Jay is gonna do with these guys.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I think over the course of the offseason, we're getting
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a feel for what Jay Gruden wants to do. I'm
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: excited to see how Minshew fits into this West Coast skin. Again,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: hesitate you talk about because so much changes and evolves
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: year to year. You have a West Coast scheme that
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: was invented what thirty years ago? Well, it's not really
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the true West coast an. How will Gardner sort of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: make this his own? The evolution of it is what
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: fascinates me. Yeah, definitely interesting to see how that plays up.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So let's go back up to big thing one with
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the coronavirus. It's now been expected that a practice squad
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: will go from twelve players to six team players. But
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it's almost the point now where God forbid, you think, okay,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: if Gardner minshow test positive for coronavirus and then the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: whole quarterback room gets it. It's almost to the point
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: where you almost need a farm team where someone that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: not even at the facility as a whole, if something
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: happened for a whole position group goes out that you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: got to go draft or go get someone from a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: separate location. I feel like the nflp A will accept
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that because that's a lot of opportunities for guys right
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: now that don't have opportunities. They'll accept it. They'll they'll
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: cheer for it and not do handstands because exactly what
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: she said, it's about opportunities. But I think you could see,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and I was talking to the people about this today,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I think you could see six teams. You could see
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: expanded rosters as a reaction to this. In October, say
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of teams have some real okay, we can't
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: play eight players. It could get to the point where
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: some teams I think, will go through more players than
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: they ever have in this season, and you could see
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: some real weirdness by November of a couple of teams
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: being really depleted and that just being the way it is.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't know that I would go so far
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: as to say this season will be played with an asterisk,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: because whoever winds up winning the super Bowl, to mean
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: does happen, they'll deserve it, like any team that's been
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: through a league of attrition. But I think you could
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: see some really depleted rosters for a couple of weeks
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: period and then burst back up when they get healthy again.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I just the more you think about this, Brian. It's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: fascinating because so often in sports and in life, you
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: use what you've seen before to anticipate what you're going
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to see next, and so always, well they do you
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: have frames of reference. I've never gone into a season
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: with no frame of reference, but I think you're gonna
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: have many many situations this year with no frame of reference,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: with the only remote touchstone maybe being strike years when
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you had replacement players, when you had depleted rosters. That
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: may be the closest thing we have, right, I mean,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I think you're you're looking at the same sort of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: scenario and asterick is the best way to put it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Let me just give you something else to consider. That's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the salary cap. You're talking about expanding rosters and adding
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: more opportunities. It means that you're adding more salary, and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: there are some teams that are perilously close to their
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: salary cap. You expand the rosters. Hey, look, I've seen
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: them expand rosters before, I've never seen them contract them. Interesting,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: what happens next year? How is the salary cap adjusted
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: next year? When all the revenue that's added up to compute,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to compile, to compute, the salary structure isn't there. I mean,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be really interesting between the owners and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the players as they negotiate what that looks like. Because
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: our league is based on the salary cap. You can't
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: play the game anymore without a salary recap. So it's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting to see how all of this
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: addition and they throw everything in the pot and more
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: jobs and more quarterbacks, and the next year they're gonna say, well,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: take it all back. No, yeah, I mean, it's it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: fascinating how much goes into getting this right. And when
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you just said quarterback, Brian, it just sort of jigged
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: my frame of thought. If a bunch of quarterbacks are
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: out for a couple of weeks period, which I don't
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen, but if they are, boy, you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: can see some bad quarterbacking because the level drops off
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: anyway from starter to back up. But if you're branding
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: getting and we've seen it before in the past, is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I can say anything new here, But if you see
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: seven or eight different teams, uh, we've all seen, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in the XFL and in the other leagues, how bad
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: some of those forty five guys. But at the same time,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: maybe you've seen another Kurt Warner, maybe see a guy
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: get his opportunity. So on those fronts, I yeah, I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: just you have perreddict how this is going to play out.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: It is going to be wild. Throw the Las Vegas
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: odds out the window for this season, because what if
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Patrick Blomes, Lamar Jackson, and DeShawn Watson are all sick
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: at at any given point in time in a crucial
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: stretch of schedule. Well, does that mean that somebody can
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: rise of the Jets, the Dolphins. I mean, who knows
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Who knows what happens if certain players, key
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: players get sick, how other rosters. It's just it's a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: great I know we're running on on this, make it quick,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: but you know I'm old slant, an old man, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm aware the frame of the restaurence here. I was
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a huge Washington Redskins fan growing up, and they won
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and eight seven with three replacement games involved,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and they went three and oh in those replacement games.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Had they gone oh and three, they may not make
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a playoffs. So they were lauded at that point because
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: they were a very good organization. They were ready for
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the replacement games. They had scouted their replacement roster beat
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: teams with legitimate players on it. You wonder how much
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that could come into play teams that are really good
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: at having some practice squids, practice squad guys, or lower
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: level guys ready and prepared. I wonder how much of
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a storyline that might be by January. I think it's
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: gonna be huge. Yep. If I'm a betting gal, I'm
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: not betting on this season, that's for sure. But we
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: come back. You know that the Ozone mail bags on

• 15:34
  Speaker 1: time for a few weeks. As we get into the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: ozone mail bagg zone. Going to our friend Austin asking
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: about Leonard for nets around draft time, it came out
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that we were taking inquiries about trading for seven. Do
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you think it's possible he has traded during the season
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: if we have losing record before the trade deadline, I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: think it would make sense better to get something out
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of him than just to lose him in free agency.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: John Well, anything's possible in this scenario. This does strike
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: me as having a Dante Fowler kind of feel uh
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: in a sense that once things were sort of going
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: awry in that year, it became obvious that they weren't
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: going to resign Dante and they were going to get
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: value for him if they could. Um. I don't think
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: for a minute that they're going into the season with
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that as a possibility, because he is going to be
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: one of the engines on which this offense runs. But
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: if things are off the rate, you know, who knows.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Certainly it's possible, but I don't think I wouldn't call
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: it probable, Brian, because I really think they consider him
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a crucial short term piece, and running back is one
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of those positions where you can be a crucial short
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: term piece and not necessarily be the long term piece.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Do we even know after the season starts if there
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: will be an in season trade market. Will they let
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: players leave one place where they have been and go
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to another where they haven't. I think that is a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: fair question to ask someone who might know if you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: can even trade a player during the season. I haven't
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: even thought of that. But to think that you're with
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: someone for four months and oh, by the way, you're
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: going to move across the country, and I can't see
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: that happening, and I haven't in the current climate, I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: would have a hard time seeing how you could say, Okay, Leonard,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you are now going to Phoenix where there is a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: uptick in coronavirus, or you send him somewhere where there
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: isn't Danny yet he's coming from a place where there's plenty,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: see what I mean. I just think I'll bet they
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: could get around that, but we'll stay. I don't know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Another question, Yeah, absolutely, all right, let's go to Park, Florida.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Ken seems like Joe Schobert is the forgotten signing. I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: think you can make the defense a lot better, what
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: says you, John Well? And I chose this question because
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: he's right in a sense. I think because everything was
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: coming down at that point with the COVID stuff, and
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you had all the talk about free agency and it
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: was it was weird during that time, so maybe people
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: were distracted. And then the Jaguars traded Kolis, and they
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: traded a j boy, and they traded Nick Foles, and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that was sort of what you know. I'm not saying
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: everybody ignored Schobert, but everybody was talking about other things,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and there was this theme at the time of oh,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars are tanking, They're they're cutting salary. And the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: reason that I didn't buy into that was because they
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: had signed Schobert, who was a high priced free agent
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: veteran who they believe it's gonna be a core player.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So I do think he's been overlooked as a big
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: reason the team could be better. It's the old thing
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: we can go on and on about he's gonna make
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: two positions better, which you say a lot, but that
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: really is real with the Miles thing. So I think
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: he's been overlooked and it could be a situation if
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: this defense is better, which they think it is, the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: defensive tackles will get a lot of credit because there's
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: been so much focus on that. I think he is
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a guy who will improve the defense, but he's not
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: going to be a sack strip intercept kind of guy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: He is just gonna be tackle after tackle after tackle
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: after tackle, and just thinking about that, Brian saying how
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: much better they would have been last year? It's five
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: games with two hundred more yards yards are more rushing
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: were blowouts for the most part. If you're competitive in
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: four or five of those, get into the fourth quarter
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and win two, well, all of a sudden, you're eight
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and eight. So I mean that I don't think they're
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a playoff team. But if they're just a snidge better
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: last year against the one, and all of a sudden,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: maybe that four and four starts five and three and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the whole second half of the season feels different. So
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: you know, that's one area where I think people are
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: missing a little bit is how bad the run defense was.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: If they had a little better, maybe they're a lot better.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: You just want to get in the mix. He would
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: have made it differently. It's to the point where I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: was watching the sp Sunday night and they were showing
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's run against the Jaguars in Carolina, and I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was thinking, Man, what a blowout of a game that was.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: They just couldn't stop the run. But then I also
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: think to the fourth quarter when Gardner led that drive
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and it was almost a one score game. And even
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: with those huge blowout games and the the vibe that
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: it was a huge blowout game and that they couldn't
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: stop the run, they were still somewhat close even in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: some of those games. Yeah, usually in the NFL, it's
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a series or two that make a difference. You get
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: off the field a series or two, or you have
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: better run counts or better down in distant situations. It
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: can be a huge difference. So maybe we shall see.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: All right, and that is our ozone mail Bag week.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Come back, we take to Twitter for some top tweet.

  Speaker 1: back Jags dry time, visiting a Twitter for some top tweets,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and we're going back a few weeks to the Jaguars
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Social Justice March. That video went viral Chris Connolly's impactful
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: speech on the steps of js SO, and a fan
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: sweeps out to Chris Connolly asking that cop to get
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: out of the frame. Obviously that was not taking kindly
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: because that cop was Ernest Wilford and Chris Connelly, ever
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: so only explained Ernest Wilford story of how he played
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, played for the Jaguars and now is
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: making a huge impact in the community. And guys, we
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: were talking about this after that March. I feel at
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: times that story Ernest Wilford's story is so overlooked because
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's another one like that, or
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a man who played in his city is now making
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: even bigger change as a police officer. Yeah, I think
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: people who maybe don't understand that story can go back.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I forget what year it was. Malik Jackson, uh did
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a piece with him for Jaguars dot Com for Jaguars
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Digital Media and it and it really sort of went
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: in depth with a lot of the things that probably
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: say in a better way what I would try to say.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: So obviously it's a terrific story and a different, uh,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a different perspective on things and maybe is being talked
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: about around the country right now. Great person. Um. It
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: goes to show that if you react too quickly, which
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: everyone seems to be wanting to do, to point something
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: out to be seen in some way, shape or form
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: as being more righteous than someone else, you screw it up.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Because whoever it was that sent that to Chris Connelly,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: screwed it up because Ernest Wilford is a terrific story
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and terrific example of somebody who has given far more
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: than he's taken. Absolutely a good man and definitely was
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: very impactful that day during that march, giving a great
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: speech as well. As we go to top tweet number two,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a little more lighthearted and typical Leonard for net Fashion
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: takes an unpleasant situation and gets a laugh out of it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Says that he can now no longer play Call of
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Duty with Ezekiel Elliott anymore because somehow, some way Ezekiel
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Elliott could pass the coronavirus through the xbox as a
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: leonderd of being Leonard and then, finally, to wrap up
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Top Sweets, Jamal Adams has made it public he is
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: seeking a trade from the Jets. Video going viral earlier
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: this week that he's pulling out of a parking lot
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: of fans seems to him you go into Dallas, He
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: says that possibly Big Cat Country tweeting out what are
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars chances of landing Jamal Adams? Jamal Adams had
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: reported to Adam Schefter he has a list of teams
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he'd want to play for Jaguar is not on that list. So, guys,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but it doesn't seem likely. Well,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure it matters that much where Jamal wants
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: to play. I mean, he's in the then or fourth
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: year of his contract, so he's gonna play wherever the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Jets trade him. If they indeed trade him. I don't
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: have a real good fuel for whether the Jets planned
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to actually trade him or not. I do know the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: trades are difficult in the sense I think he may
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: run into the same problem Brian that Unique is running
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: into is not only does a team have to give
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: up something, but then when a player desperately wants to
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: be resigned to a big contract. Jamal Adams play safety,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: and that's a little bit tough to know how much
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to pay that guy. He's a strong safety. If he
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: wants to leave, even know what he wants, you know,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the same as Unique, but he wants to eat money.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: That holds up trades. In a Jaguars Jet situation, you
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: would have two guys sort of in that situation of
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: where the other team has to figure out how much
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: do we pay? So I don't get a feel for
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: this one, Brian, let me help you with this. They
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: cannot afford him. He was the fifth overall pick of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the draft the year after Jalen Ramsey. He wants twenty
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: plus million dollars a year. And now he is a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: wonderful football player, I mean a legit talent, maybe the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: best safety in the game. But the Jaguars can't before
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: twenty million dollars for a safety. They can't. They can't
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: afford it for a lot of different positions are right now,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: They're tight against their cap. And there you go, those
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: chances seeming more and more slim the more we talk
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: about it. When we come back on Jack to Drive time,
• 27:42

• 30:13
  Speaker 1: here on Jaguars that drive time and guys, quickly, let's
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: discuss this now new memo in the NFL telling teams
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: as of right now, they don't want players working out
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: together as a group. We've seen that around the league,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: some players getting together at local parks or whatever it
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: may be, to try to gain some sense of normalcy
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and working out. Now, it's another example of the NFL
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: saying let's try to stay as healthy as possible. Well,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: and I think the key is we've been saying for
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and it's not breaking any news
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: on this. The NFL wants people coming in and out
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: of the quote bubble, under control and tested. And when
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: you're working out sort of off site, that takes away
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: any ability to sort of control. That environment just by
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: its nature is going to be a difficult thing to
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: control anyway. But it's clear the league want, Hey, if
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna be together, if we're gonna have guys together,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: we want to make sure we monitor it, test it,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: and give ourselves the best possibility of not having this
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: thing spread. Brian Well, I don't know how political he's become,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: whether quoting him is uh is considered good or nonsense.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: But Dr Anthony Fauci, who at one point in this
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: pandemic was considered the expert on what was going on,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: suggested that if the NFL really wanted to play, They
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: needed to copy the model that the n b A
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: is trying to get started, which is the complete bubble.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: In other words, total quarantine. Live in the hotel, ride
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the buses, ride the planes, limited interaction with anyone outside
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: of that tier one, tier two sort of phase um.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: So it makes total sense that the NFL would say, hey, look, guys,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: you're you're running around over at Jesuit High in Tampa
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and you guys are getting each other shack you're giving Well,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: what do you expects going to happen? I mean, these
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: guys are gonna leave the stadium every night and there
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL can't tear the people they interact with. I'm sorry,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you're a checker Republics and your tier three and I'm
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: tier one, so we can't communicate at all. Hey, you
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: walked into public's buddy. You're the one who put yourself
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: in this situation. And by the way, as a year old,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: when I was their age, I did what I wanted to.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: So guess what, They're gonna do whatever they want. Buckle up, people,
