0:54
Speaker 1: Head coach Urban Meyer discussed the evaluation of O. T. A.
0:58
Speaker 1: S Airn on a day like today when the defense
1:01
Speaker 1: really takes the day. Um, is there any different sort
1:05
Speaker 1: of messaging that you send to the offense or is
1:07
Speaker 1: it steady as it goes? No, it's steady as it goes.
1:10
Speaker 1: You don't we don't want to create you know, that
1:12
Speaker 1: the whole idea of Phase three with what's with what
1:15
Speaker 1: we're in should not be Uh, I don't we We
1:17
Speaker 1: gotta really toned back and and make sure the guys
1:20
Speaker 1: aren't launching themselves after the ball and all that. So no, not,
1:24
Speaker 1: it's all about not losing the strength. Gangs and uh
1:28
Speaker 1: speed games were made in the offseason, installing an offense
1:31
Speaker 1: and then try and execut This is not about winter
1:33
Speaker 1: loser right now at that time is coming, but not now?
1:37
Speaker 1: What have you seen from from Tim Tebow? Tim's done
1:41
Speaker 1: a decent job. We all know this is a new
1:44
Speaker 1: position for him. Um you know what you know, you
1:48
Speaker 1: wish you could see and do a you know, in
1:50
Speaker 1: spring football you have full pads and scrimmages and you
1:53
Speaker 1: can really evaluate. It's kind of tough right now. So
1:55
Speaker 1: but he's a great teammate. He's in the locker room.
1:58
Speaker 1: I can see everybody get along. We have a good
2:00
Speaker 1: chemistry on our team. And but he's picking it up decent.
2:03
Speaker 1: Josh Allen seemed to be held out. Was he got
2:05
Speaker 1: anything going on? Yeah, Josh is sitting right to my left.
2:08
Speaker 1: He's a soft player that Uh oh, I'm sorry I
2:11
Speaker 1: didn't see him sitting there. No, his lower back was tight.
2:15
Speaker 1: He's been fantastic. He's uh, one of our leaders and
2:18
Speaker 1: has been to everything. So we just for a cautionary today.
2:22
Speaker 1: He's he's fine. Make sure that I don't need a
2:25
Speaker 1: I don't need a headline there. That was I'm joking,
2:27
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, Erby Key just kind of give an
2:30
Speaker 1: overview of the team building that you've been able to
2:33
Speaker 1: accomplish to this point. Um, you know, with with a
2:36
Speaker 1: little little more this week and then minicamp next week.
2:38
Speaker 1: What have you been able to do from kind of
2:40
Speaker 1: laying the foundation you need to from a sort of
2:42
Speaker 1: a philosophy and environment standpoint, Yeah, I think, uh, you know,
2:46
Speaker 1: when you are named head coach, you have to your
2:49
Speaker 1: response for two things, the culture and then the talent
2:51
Speaker 1: acquisition piece. And we have good team meetings. You know,
2:54
Speaker 1: I'm not taking too much of their time because the
2:57
Speaker 1: limitations we have. You know, next week we're gonna have
2:59
Speaker 1: a little low her days. But you know, I really
3:03
Speaker 1: like where're at. I like our guys zero resistance, and
3:07
Speaker 1: you know we just gotta, um, you gotta get to
3:09
Speaker 1: be a lot better in a lot of areas. But
3:11
Speaker 1: like I love where we're at as far as I
3:14
Speaker 1: don't necessarily like to turn buying in, but I hear
3:17
Speaker 1: it all the time. The guys have been great. Yeah,
3:19
Speaker 1: we've all seen Trevor how he handles success. But when
3:22
Speaker 1: he has days like today, what have you seen from
3:25
Speaker 1: him about how he handles adversity? Is he does he
3:28
Speaker 1: kind of talk it through himself? Does he talk it
3:29
Speaker 1: through with his teammates? How does he handle that? I'm
3:32
Speaker 1: learning like you are. You know, he's like you. You
3:34
Speaker 1: made a good point. He's not experienced a whole lot
3:36
Speaker 1: of that. But he's a very He's a grown man
3:38
Speaker 1: the way he handles his business. He's here, bright eyed,
3:40
Speaker 1: ready to go all the time. And I would imagine,
3:43
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna go meet right now, but I
3:44
Speaker 1: would imagine to just be about execution, how to get better.
3:46
Speaker 1: You know, once again, I don't want to undervalue what
3:49
Speaker 1: you saw today, but that there's no win or loser.
3:51
Speaker 1: It was just, you know, some execution misfires and we've
3:55
Speaker 1: got to get those facts. But he's fine, and I
3:58
Speaker 1: think his develop men as a player. That's gonna be
4:01
Speaker 1: interesting to watch what you just said. You know, it's
4:03
Speaker 1: not like you said what are your thirty four and
4:04
Speaker 1: two is a starting quarterback. It's uh something that we
4:08
Speaker 1: gotta just watch and manage. Urban Meyer's full press conference
4:10
Speaker 1: available on Jaguars dot com on the Huddle Up Podcast Wednesday.
4:15
Speaker 1: NFL media analyst Buckey Brooks, senior writer John Osier and
4:18
Speaker 1: I reacted to myers comments on practice and what to
4:21
Speaker 1: expect when it gets real in late July and August.
4:25
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer put it really well, and sure, it's one
4:27
Speaker 1: of these things he's learning about in spring, summer ball
4:32
Speaker 1: or in college. You can have pads on you has
4:34
Speaker 1: some competitiveness. In the NFL, he can't do that. And
4:37
Speaker 1: he was very cleft or practice twice and sort of
4:39
Speaker 1: went back to it on Tuesday. This is not a
4:41
Speaker 1: winner losers situation. For urban to say that, who's all
4:45
Speaker 1: about competitiveness and winning and losing means he gets this
4:49
Speaker 1: is a teaching time and he said it best. This
4:52
Speaker 1: is about not losing their strength and not losing their speed.
4:56
Speaker 1: They are trying to maintain until they get to all
5:00
Speaker 1: when they can start competing and being real and seeing
5:03
Speaker 1: real things. I would guess if you really asked Urban,
5:06
Speaker 1: he's probably not a huge fan of these in terms
5:09
Speaker 1: of you know, he likes it's like most coaches do,
5:13
Speaker 1: getting out there competing, seeing who's better, who's worse. Well,
5:17
Speaker 1: that's not what this is. So it's very much a
5:19
Speaker 1: maintaining thing. I can sort of see from that perspective,
5:22
Speaker 1: JD why he decided to close most of them, because
5:27
Speaker 1: you know, the more you open and the more people
5:28
Speaker 1: are going to try to draw conclusions. And this is
5:31
Speaker 1: this really isn't a conclusion drawing time. Except for us bozos,
5:35
Speaker 1: you feel like we have to. I mean, that's what
5:37
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. Oh, she's supposed to be out there,
5:39
Speaker 1: out there tracking all the completions and the completions to
5:43
Speaker 1: give me. In fact, I've been waiting for you to
5:45
Speaker 1: come across. I'm sitting here all the time, waiting looking
5:48
Speaker 1: at Twitter, waiting for you to have like the completion
5:50
Speaker 1: percentage to passer ratings, number of touchdowns, who's who's scored,
5:54
Speaker 1: who's who's hot, who's not, Never mind the time graphic too.
5:59
Speaker 1: We gotta get the tea. I mean, I mean, like,
6:01
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm hoping that you're saving. This sounds like
6:04
Speaker 1: you And that's good, Bucky, because you're gonna go through
6:07
Speaker 1: some adversity here, and adversity builds character. It does build character.
6:12
Speaker 1: You say, that's what happens when you stay away from
6:15
Speaker 1: volunteering practices, Bucky, you can't. You can fly down here
6:19
Speaker 1: and attractive things yourself. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I
6:23
Speaker 1: mean we're coming out. I just never know when the
6:25
Speaker 1: media days are. If I if I knew, I would
6:27
Speaker 1: be all over. I never knew what when media availability
6:29
Speaker 1: talking about Monday and I'll take his Twitter feed for
6:34
Speaker 1: some completion percent. So we're gonna have We're gonna have
6:36
Speaker 1: it all of that, Like we can get a researcher
6:40
Speaker 1: to help us with the passer rating if we can
6:42
Speaker 1: calculate that. But I think your point that UH coach
6:46
Speaker 1: Meyer makes about this being different, it's not necessarily a
6:49
Speaker 1: competitive period. I bet it is an adjustment for him
6:53
Speaker 1: because when you're having spring ball at Ohio State in Florida,
6:57
Speaker 1: you have pads on like you're getting after you have
7:00
Speaker 1: three or four scrimmages throughout that fifteen day period where
7:04
Speaker 1: you yeah, they're really getting Yeah, now he's looking around
7:10
Speaker 1: like what is this padde aike stuff that we're doing,
7:12
Speaker 1: Like we can line up and have team, but we
7:14
Speaker 1: can have team without pads on, how much real work
7:18
Speaker 1: can you do? In his mind, I'm sure it is
7:19
Speaker 1: a bit of an adjustment when it comes to what
7:22
Speaker 1: he's seeing and what he's used to seeing after being
7:24
Speaker 1: a coach at the collegiate level for such a long time. Hey, Bucky,
7:28
Speaker 1: if you're a player on the Jags, how ready must
7:32
Speaker 1: you better be for that fourth practice in training camp
7:35
Speaker 1: when the pads are ready to go on? Because the
7:39
Speaker 1: ball coach is ready to go now, I mean, I
7:43
Speaker 1: mean at some pore, we gotta put the ball down
7:44
Speaker 1: in a once in the huddle, let's go, let's be ready. Um.
7:50
Speaker 1: I would anticipate there would be some there will be
7:54
Speaker 1: some very violent and physical days on the horizon. But
7:58
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They can't really do two a days.
8:01
Speaker 1: They can't go back into old school. But he certainly
8:05
Speaker 1: can work him to death for about three and a
8:06
Speaker 1: half hours and kind of see what who's who it
8:09
Speaker 1: was was. So it'll be interesting to see what his
8:11
Speaker 1: practice regiment looks like. Erin might sleep on the field
8:14
Speaker 1: that night. He might pitch tents out there and like
8:17
Speaker 1: the Duke kids for the basketball Gameskiville right outside. It'll
8:22
Speaker 1: be urban Meyerville. I have a little cot under the
8:25
Speaker 1: glaciers perfect. I mean, I mean, let's getting going. Let's
8:28
Speaker 1: Get the Huddle Up. Podcast runs Wednesday mornings on the
8:32
Speaker 1: Jaguars Official podcast network. This week, the focus turned to
8:35
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense. It's a revamped group, starting with free
8:39
Speaker 1: agent and draft editions on the interior of the defensive
8:42
Speaker 1: line and a nearly full reworked secondary. A cornerstone of
8:46
Speaker 1: that defense, though, is defensive end and linebacker Josh Allen.
8:50
Speaker 1: He's coming off a season with only eight games of
8:52
Speaker 1: action back in due to injuries. I caught up with
8:56
Speaker 1: him Tuesday after practice and he explained how to get
8:59
Speaker 1: everyone on the same page quickly on this new defense
9:02
Speaker 1: and the expectations to win. Now, how difficult, challenging, um
9:08
Speaker 1: exciting is it to learn a bunch of new guys
9:12
Speaker 1: on your team and teammates on and off the field.
9:15
Speaker 1: And how much of a process is that for you,
9:17
Speaker 1: a guy who's been around here for a few years.
9:19
Speaker 1: I mean just being around these guys in the locker
9:21
Speaker 1: room talking, you know, I think we talked more about
9:24
Speaker 1: individual like life like in the locker room morning we
9:27
Speaker 1: talk about football. This scheme, it's always like how you doing,
9:30
Speaker 1: how your family doing? Oh what are you staying? Like? Oh, like,
9:33
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, We're doing the same thing.
9:34
Speaker 1: You've got kids. I got kids. So just having that
9:37
Speaker 1: connection with people who is only gonna make it feel like, Okay,
9:39
Speaker 1: I want to play even harder for you because I
9:41
Speaker 1: know what situation you and I know the situation. You know.
9:43
Speaker 1: I'm man, so you I know you're gonna want you
9:45
Speaker 1: don't lie in my back. So it's really more of that,
9:48
Speaker 1: more of that family, more that you know, close connection,
9:51
Speaker 1: more than just okay, you my teammate, you know what
9:53
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And once you have that, once you can
9:55
Speaker 1: look to the right and look till your left and
9:56
Speaker 1: you see guys that you just met, that's gonna laid
10:00
Speaker 1: on the line for you. You know what I'm saying.
10:03
Speaker 1: Makes you just want to play hard. It makes you
10:04
Speaker 1: want to really, you know, sell out. So I'm excited
10:07
Speaker 1: to be you know, I'm decided to be a part
10:09
Speaker 1: of this team and excited to see a part of
10:10
Speaker 1: this change. And and it's gonna be It's gonna be fun.
10:14
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. I can't let an interview with
10:17
Speaker 1: the Jaguars player go by without asking about the number
10:19
Speaker 1: one overall pick, Trevor Lawrence and your interactions so far
10:23
Speaker 1: with him. You know, you're you know obviously on different
10:26
Speaker 1: sides of the football, but what has he shown so
10:29
Speaker 1: far in that locker room? And you know, your first
10:33
Speaker 1: round pick to high pick, how challenging is that coming
10:35
Speaker 1: into this new environment and with all that pressure on
10:39
Speaker 1: his shoulders, he certainly has to have something. Uh, I
10:43
Speaker 1: mean pressure. I think he was you don't built for pressure.
10:48
Speaker 1: I feel like his whole career, high school, college, and
10:51
Speaker 1: now you know what I'm saying, it was all it's
10:53
Speaker 1: just all set up to be, you know, set up
10:56
Speaker 1: for him. So you know, I'm excited. I'm also you know,
11:01
Speaker 1: we're not in the locker room together, but I do.
11:03
Speaker 1: We do see each other when we eat food and
11:05
Speaker 1: won't see me in the training room, so I do
11:06
Speaker 1: catch up and do talk to him, and you know,
11:08
Speaker 1: just here, just here the growth that he's making in
11:11
Speaker 1: and what he's most excited about. Man, it's just, you know,
11:14
Speaker 1: what I'm saying gives you goose from hips a little bit.
11:16
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see him, you know, to see
11:19
Speaker 1: but him is to see as well as you know
11:22
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that he has the other side has
11:26
Speaker 1: to play just as you know, just as well. So
11:28
Speaker 1: not only is he helping us out, we have to
11:30
Speaker 1: help him out. We have to help the whole offense out.
11:32
Speaker 1: So you know, so as long as we can do that,
11:35
Speaker 1: as long as we can play off each other, because
11:36
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna put points on the board, So
11:38
Speaker 1: as long as we can keep that down and keep
11:40
Speaker 1: them going up, and that's how, you know what I'm saying,
11:44
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna light it up. So I'm excited
11:46
Speaker 1: to see can this team win now? You kind of
11:51
Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier that you guys feel like that you
11:53
Speaker 1: need to win pretty quick? Here? Can you turn it
11:57
Speaker 1: around from one in fifteen? And what are the expectations?
12:00
Speaker 1: Maybe not wins and losses this year the totals, but
12:02
Speaker 1: can this be a winning team fast? I truthfully believe
12:05
Speaker 1: we can win now, uh, And I truthfully believe we
12:09
Speaker 1: have the players to do so just at the players,
12:11
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And now we have the
12:13
Speaker 1: coaching staff that can you know what I'm saying, I
12:15
Speaker 1: can develop us and I can get us to where
12:17
Speaker 1: we need to be and that's gonna put us in
12:18
Speaker 1: a reposition to succeed. It's only gonna make it even better.
12:22
Speaker 1: Uh So I do, I do believe that we're winning
12:25
Speaker 1: team now and I feel like but it's it's all
12:27
Speaker 1: with us, you know what I'm saying. I'm not worried
12:29
Speaker 1: about and like we're not worried about any other team.
12:32
Speaker 1: We're not worried about any other player who we gotta
12:34
Speaker 1: play against or what. You know what I'm saying. We're
12:36
Speaker 1: focusing on us. We're focused on you know, saying one
12:39

14:48
Speaker 1: Schobert enters his second season with the organization and his
14:52
Speaker 1: sixth season in the NFL. During a media availability Tuesday,
14:56
Speaker 1: he discussed the difficulty of learning yet another defensive scheme
15:01
Speaker 1: and then, how do you think you're fitting into the
15:02
Speaker 1: scheme right now? As far as things have gone so far,
15:05
Speaker 1: it's an exciting time to be on defense here. The
15:08
Speaker 1: new schematics are fun, especially for the linebackers to play.
15:12
Speaker 1: UM a lot of following the ball, getting to the ball,
15:15
Speaker 1: a lot less it seems like a lot less responsibilities
15:17
Speaker 1: on certain calls in certain aspects. UM and then the
15:20
Speaker 1: guys in front and the guys behind are flying to
15:22
Speaker 1: the ball, making players all over the field, and it
15:24
Speaker 1: just makes for a fun environment and it's great. It's
15:26
Speaker 1: great learning so far in the spring. Now we just
15:28
Speaker 1: can't wait to get pads on and start playing real football. Hey, Joe,
15:32
Speaker 1: was there a part of you that wondered how you
15:34
Speaker 1: were going to fit and worried about how that fit
15:37
Speaker 1: would be? Uh? No, I've played three or four or
15:40
Speaker 1: fourth reef since college in the NFL, multiple different four
15:44
Speaker 1: three schemes and multiple different three four schemes, so I've
15:47
Speaker 1: always been in one of those defenses. And I mean,
15:50
Speaker 1: once you get to a certain point, all NFL defenses
15:52
Speaker 1: are the same. You just have to learn the verbiage
15:54
Speaker 1: and the language of the defense to be able to
15:57
Speaker 1: communicate effectively on the field. So that it really wasn't
16:00
Speaker 1: a concern of mine. It's just like learning the new language.
16:02
Speaker 1: Because this is the fifth I guess new language I've
16:04
Speaker 1: had to learn in six years. So that's the only
16:06
Speaker 1: thing that you get a little bit worried about. But
16:08
Speaker 1: it's been smooth, and I didn't really cross that thought,
16:10
Speaker 1: didn't really cross my mind. How do you manage to
16:13
Speaker 1: go through five defenses and learn all the bourbage. I mean,
16:16
Speaker 1: is it are you do you get your do you
16:17
Speaker 1: find yourself getting confused too much? Or um, you know,
16:21
Speaker 1: is it? Is it a tough deal? It's just tough
16:24
Speaker 1: to learn the burbage at first. You are always going
16:26
Speaker 1: to associate things that you did in the past, and
16:28
Speaker 1: there's always gonna be a way that you thought you
16:30
Speaker 1: liked the best. But once you get through O, T,
16:33
Speaker 1: A S and mandatory mini camp and training camp that's
16:37
Speaker 1: three times will have installed like the whole playbook and
16:39
Speaker 1: everything going forward, so you'll get enough repetitions and enough
16:42
Speaker 1: learning classroom time in it that it starts to become
16:45
Speaker 1: second nature once you get towards the end of preseason
16:48
Speaker 1: going in the season, and from there, um, once you
16:51
Speaker 1: get the new defense set, it's kind of hard to
16:53
Speaker 1: remember anything about old defenses until you look at a playbook.
16:56
Speaker 1: But uh, it's not too much of a concern. But
16:59
Speaker 1: every year it's end of a grant because there's no
17:01
Speaker 1: coming back to being, oh, yeah, we have the same
17:03
Speaker 1: playbook again this year, Like that would be nice, but
17:06
Speaker 1: I haven't had it happen really yet. So Joe Schobert's
17:09
Speaker 1: media conference available on Jaguars dot com. Let's rewind back
17:13
Speaker 1: to Monday's Jaguars Reporters podcast. As from Sullivan, John Osan,
17:17
Speaker 1: and I reacted to the previous week's presentation for the
17:20
Speaker 1: Jaguars Football Performance Center plans. My big thing is the
17:24
Speaker 1: lack of a team facility always made the Jaguars not
17:27
Speaker 1: on the same level as the rest of the league.
17:29
Speaker 1: And I remember when we flew to Baltimore, like you mentioned,
17:31
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and I walked in that facility.
17:35
Speaker 1: It was night and day. It was not even close
17:37
Speaker 1: to the same level. And you think to yourself, how
17:40
Speaker 1: can an NFL team succeed when some teams have this
17:44
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars have that. So finally the Jaguars are
17:48
Speaker 1: getting that facility and have an even playing field. You
17:51
Speaker 1: frankly thought they never had a chance to succeed because
17:54
Speaker 1: they were never given the necessary tools. And I thought
17:56
Speaker 1: it was interesting when Brandon Lennard was asked about finally
17:59
Speaker 1: getting those tools, and it was, oh, or are you privileged?
18:03
Speaker 1: Are you do you feel honored that you're getting this?
18:06
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I feel like I can do my
18:08
Speaker 1: job now and that's a huge thing. Yeah, I think
18:11
Speaker 1: you can. You can win without the multimillion dollar facility.
18:17
Speaker 1: It's yeah. And uh so I wouldn't say that you
18:23
Speaker 1: have to have the Baltimore and the Minnesota and and
18:27
Speaker 1: and it's coming in Jacksonville. But there's no reason in
18:31
Speaker 1: this day and age in the league not to so
18:34
Speaker 1: I think now this is their moment to transition into that.
18:39
Speaker 1: It's like anything in this league. When the Jaguars started
18:42
Speaker 1: in unfortunately I'm old enough to have been there. This
18:47
Speaker 1: was state of the art. Yes, this was yeah. I
18:52
Speaker 1: mean and they were number two or three in the
18:54
Speaker 1: league in total revenue because everything was set up, they
18:58
Speaker 1: had the best set up. They were the newest. That's
19:00
Speaker 1: how it works. Over the course of twenty seven years,
19:03
Speaker 1: they went from being the newest to one of the
19:05
Speaker 1: oldest because everybody else renovated. Well, guess what when they
19:08
Speaker 1: do this, When they build this in two thousand three,
19:12
Speaker 1: there'll be one of the four or five newest. In
19:15
Speaker 1: twenty five years, there'll be one Ian. It's a constant insurance,
19:18
Speaker 1: a constant arms race. This is this team's moment and
19:22
Speaker 1: and the city's moment to get back up into the
19:25
Speaker 1: arms race, so to speak, in the NFL is an
19:28
Speaker 1: expensive venture. At some point in the future, there will
19:30
Speaker 1: be another time when you got to there'll be other
19:32
Speaker 1: improvements we can't even imagine. I guess they'll be flying
19:34
Speaker 1: stadiums or it's a but there'll be something that you've
19:38
Speaker 1: got to keep up with because it's it's the biggest,
19:41
Speaker 1: most popular, most expensive sport in the country to be
19:44
Speaker 1: involved with, and that's always gonna be one open one upping.
19:47
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the Star in Dallas, for example,
19:49
Speaker 1: and I'm sure in ten years will be like the Star.
19:52
Speaker 1: Look at them Los Angeles, and I'm not sure that
19:55
Speaker 1: you have to go to that route. I think that's
19:57
Speaker 1: the outlier that Mark was talking about in in the
20:01
Speaker 1: presentation last week. I assume there'll be outliers like that,
20:04
Speaker 1: But you know, Minnesota, Baltimore, those are standards that I
20:10
Speaker 1: think most teams will be up with, uh and it
20:13
Speaker 1: sounds like the Jaguars will be right there. The Minnesota
20:16
Speaker 1: one feels like it's closer to this set up than
20:19
Speaker 1: some of the others. Like Baltimore. They're out in a
20:22
Speaker 1: neighborhood in the suburb, right and there's not much room
20:25
Speaker 1: for development Minnesota. One is development around their facility. Yeah,
20:30
Speaker 1: it's the whole town. Similar idea. I think here the
20:33
Speaker 1: facility comes development around it, it spurs other things. You know,
20:38
Speaker 1: that was just a giant parcel of land out in
20:41
Speaker 1: the nowhere that they have developed into something. But and
20:44
Speaker 1: that's a key to remember for Shot. I interrupted u
20:46
Speaker 1: JP but it uh. I get questions all the time,
20:50
Speaker 1: do you think the Jaguar And there were even some
20:53
Speaker 1: people asking last week, Hey, is this gonna be uh?
20:56
Speaker 1: Are they going to announce that they're gonna rebuild the
20:59
Speaker 1: stadium in St. John's. Are they're gonna build their facility
21:04
Speaker 1: in Clay County? Um? I would have been stunned. I
21:09
Speaker 1: would be stunned if Shot ever considers doing anything with
21:13
Speaker 1: the Jaguars outside of this square patch that we're sitting on,
21:19
Speaker 1: because his vision since day one has been to have
21:24
Speaker 1: a vibrant downtown and to have the Jaguars be the
21:27
Speaker 1: center of it. Whatever he does, he's going to try
21:29
Speaker 1: to develop it in this because he wants this to
21:31
Speaker 1: be a jewel in downtown Jacksonville, not a jewel outside
21:35
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. Jaguars Reporters runs Mondays on the Jaguars Official
21:39
Speaker 1: podcast network. More discussion about that project from Jaguars Happy
21:44
Speaker 1: Our Radio Thursday with our good friend and Happy Our
21:47
Speaker 1: Monday co host. During the season, CBS Sports senior writer
21:50
Speaker 1: Pete Briscoe, who offered his view of the Jaguars facilities
21:54
Speaker 1: compared to the rest of the league and the all
21:57
Speaker 1: important mid June a f C South Our rankings. How
22:01
Speaker 1: far behind are the Jaguars in the arms race, if
22:03
Speaker 1: you will, in the NFL? It seems like this could
22:06
Speaker 1: catch them up in a hurry. Yeah, they're dragging. I
22:08
Speaker 1: mean it's been dragging for a long time. And I
22:10
Speaker 1: go back to even when I used to come to
22:11
Speaker 1: that team and and they didn't have their own facility.
22:14
Speaker 1: And when you don't have your own facility, a guy
22:17
Speaker 1: like me, a beat guy, can stand out there on
22:19
Speaker 1: the public property and wait for players to come out
22:21
Speaker 1: and stand and talk to them. It was great for me.
22:23
Speaker 1: It's not great for the players because stands could stand
22:25
Speaker 1: out there as well and ask photographs. Now you have
22:28
Speaker 1: a secure facility where they come out, they go in
22:30
Speaker 1: through a gate, they come out through the gate, and
22:31
Speaker 1: off they go. And not only that, if you have
22:34
Speaker 1: a lot more space, they don't enough space in that facility.
22:36
Speaker 1: And and you've been around the league, You've seen Minnesota
22:39
Speaker 1: and what that monstrosity is. It's a beautiful facility Dallas. Uh,
22:43
Speaker 1: you know all of them. And you know in Miami,
22:45
Speaker 1: Miami's building one over by their stadium right now it's
22:48
Speaker 1: to be done for the start of their training camp.
22:50
Speaker 1: So I think when you look at it, you have
22:52
Speaker 1: to have it. Uh. It's a smart thing to do.
22:55
Speaker 1: And people say urban Meyer got it done maybe instant
22:58
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it was gonna get done anyway.
23:00
Speaker 1: That thing has been in the work for a while. Okay, Pete,
23:02
Speaker 1: our final thought with you today, Julio Jones has joined
23:06
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans in a trade. So, as we do
23:10
Speaker 1: most Mondays during the season, we now need your a
23:13
Speaker 1: FC South power rankings on June tenth one. What do
23:18
Speaker 1: you got for us? I'm going with the Colts still
23:20
Speaker 1: at number one, the title at number two, and the
23:24
Speaker 1: Jaguars is number three, and the Texans a distant number four,
23:27
Speaker 1: and and yeah, I do I look, I still think
23:30
Speaker 1: it comes down to playing defense. I don't think the
23:32
Speaker 1: Titans have made that many improvements on defense, and Budd
23:35
Speaker 1: Dupree can line it up the pass for I remember
23:37
Speaker 1: they had nineteen sacks they the Jaguars didn't have. You know,
23:40
Speaker 1: they didn't have a few with the Jaguars did, but
23:42
Speaker 1: they had nineteen and they didn't rush the pass of
23:45
Speaker 1: her team that was in the postseason. You gotta knock
23:46
Speaker 1: the quarterback down. So unless they showed me green improvement
23:50
Speaker 1: that area, I still think you're gonna score a lot
23:52
Speaker 1: of points, which they did last year, but they're gonna
23:54
Speaker 1: have to be better on defense. Jaguars Happy Our Radio
23:57
Speaker 1: Air's Thursday at four pm on tinton x L a
23:59
Speaker 1: M Radio in Jacksonville, or the Jaguars social media accounts.
24:03
Speaker 1: Let's wrap this week with Jaguars red guard A j Can.
24:07
Speaker 1: He's entering season number seven in the National Football League,
24:10
Speaker 1: and this week he sat down with senior writer John
24:13
Speaker 1: Osier for the Ozone Podcast to share his view on
24:16
Speaker 1: his league experience, a returning offensive line, and scrutiny from
24:21
Speaker 1: fans and observers. When you hear yourself introduced as seventh
24:26
Speaker 1: year veteran A j Can, what do you think? Uh?
24:30
Speaker 1: I heard you just mentioned that before you introduced me.
24:33
Speaker 1: Just like the same, same, like it flew by, and
24:35
Speaker 1: it has flown by. You know, is that when you
24:37
Speaker 1: look at that. I got a family now and I'm
24:39
Speaker 1: getting older, you know. But other than that, I feel
24:41
Speaker 1: like it's it's flown it's flown by, and you really
24:43
Speaker 1: got to enjoy it while he's here as a player,
24:47
Speaker 1: Where are you better year seven than you were a
24:49
Speaker 1: year two? I feel like just knowing, you know, I
24:52
Speaker 1: was just selling That's funny, you actually I was just
24:53
Speaker 1: selling Brandon. You know, when you first come in, you know,
24:55
Speaker 1: you see things happen, and you know your little slow
24:58
Speaker 1: to react. But now I feel like everything gets reaction there.
25:01
Speaker 1: I've seen it so many times, you know, I just
25:03
Speaker 1: react to it and just get the job done. And
25:05
Speaker 1: it's been it's been cool to see that progress from
25:08
Speaker 1: you know, younger years to being older and it's it's
25:12
Speaker 1: really been. It's helping me out a whole lot. And
25:15
Speaker 1: that's what being a veteran is, right, I mean, that's
25:17
Speaker 1: what they talk about with veteran experience. Your feet may
25:19
Speaker 1: not move quite as fast as your mind works so much.
25:24
Speaker 1: Offensive line, it's always an area of focus for the fans.
25:30
Speaker 1: They love to criticize it. And uh, but before we
25:34
Speaker 1: get to that part. Tell me about what continuity means
25:39
Speaker 1: for you guys. Uh, it's a striking thing statistical. Um,
25:44
Speaker 1: when the year starts, you guys will be entering your
25:49
Speaker 1: third straight year of you guys starting as a unit
25:53
Speaker 1: that almost never happens. Where does that help you? Uh?
25:57
Speaker 1: Just just knowing who you're going to battle with and
26:01
Speaker 1: and knowing that person in and out, Like you know,
26:04
Speaker 1: being beside Brandon for a while. Some sometimes we can
26:07
Speaker 1: just see something, just look at each other and be like,
26:09
Speaker 1: good job you're seeing that. Yeah, I reacted to it too,
26:11
Speaker 1: you know, just from knowing how what he's thinking about,
26:14
Speaker 1: being able to think on the same page. And even
26:16
Speaker 1: with Jawan coming up in year three, we're getting to
26:19
Speaker 1: that point now where he can just see something, he
26:22
Speaker 1: can just make a point. I'll be oh, yeah, I'm
26:24
Speaker 1: already watching it. And you know, that's just a cool
26:26
Speaker 1: thing to see. Even with you know, norwell and can't
26:29
Speaker 1: even though they're on the different side of the ball.
26:31
Speaker 1: You can just feel the presence of the group when
26:36
Speaker 1: when we're out there and not just the group or
26:38
Speaker 1: just that whole room in general. We've got some guys
26:40
Speaker 1: that's been there, you know, Shot uh, McDermott is coming
26:43
Speaker 1: on year four. You know, we got a lot of
26:44
Speaker 1: guys in that room who who we know each other
26:46
Speaker 1: in and now, and I feel like, you know, we
26:49
Speaker 1: we can get the job done. You know, last year
26:50
Speaker 1: we made some scribes. Even though this year's a new year,
26:53
Speaker 1: we're working to build on that. And I think we
26:55
Speaker 1: we really got a group to get this job done.
26:58
Speaker 1: When I said it's a group of the fans like
27:00
Speaker 1: to criticize, you kind of said, oh, yeah, you've lived
27:02
Speaker 1: that a long time. Yeah, I've been you know, being
27:05
Speaker 1: here for seven years, I've been through the ups and downs.
27:08
Speaker 1: We had years where everything was you know, that year
27:10
Speaker 1: everything was great and then you know we had some downfall.
27:13
Speaker 1: And just being in this league in general, you gotta
27:15
Speaker 1: have thick skinning, you know, because people are gonna say
27:17
Speaker 1: this and that. When you're doing good, they're gonna say
27:19
Speaker 1: this and that. So you just got you know, keep
27:21
Speaker 1: your head down and go to work and just try
27:23
Speaker 1: to stay focused. How often do you have a situation
27:27
Speaker 1: I'm talking talking the linement over the year, so I
27:29
Speaker 1: probably know the answer where you see people say something
27:32
Speaker 1: on Twitter or somewhere and then you watch the film
27:35
Speaker 1: and you're like, that's not really what or do you
27:38
Speaker 1: just get past that early on? And that's to the
27:41
Speaker 1: point I'm passed that quick because you know, I guess,
27:43
Speaker 1: you know, for a lot of people, I guess I
27:45
Speaker 1: don't know how much they know ball. But you know,
27:47
Speaker 1: I've been playing this since I was six years old.
27:49
Speaker 1: I know ball. So you know, people say what they
27:51
Speaker 1: want to say or criticize, but uh, we know what
27:56
Speaker 1: we're doing and we've been doing this for a long time.
27:58
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty sure we got it. The entire conversation
