Speaker 1: This is the Huddle Up Podcast with JP, Shadrick, Bucky Brooks,
0:05
Speaker 1: and John Oshan. The Huddle Up Podcast starts right now.
0:12
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Huddle Up Podcast. Today is Wednesday, June nine.
0:16
Speaker 1: J P Shadrick, Bucky Brooks, John Osier and a lot
0:19
Speaker 1: on the show today. Week three of organized team activities,
0:22
Speaker 1: the final voluntary practices of the off season coming up
0:26
Speaker 1: this week. Josh Allen spoke with the media earlier this
0:29
Speaker 1: week in a preview of mandatory minicamp coming up next
0:34
Speaker 1: week and the triumphant return of Bucky Brooks, which will
0:38
Speaker 1: happen on Monday. What's up, Bucky? What's going on? Man? Like?
0:42
Speaker 1: How are we living on there? Is it hot? Is
0:43
Speaker 1: it nice and hot down there? It was steamy today, John,
0:46
Speaker 1: it was on Tuesday. It was steamy out there. John, Yeah,
0:50
Speaker 1: it was hot and it was I thought it was
0:53
Speaker 1: sort of a strange practice. It sort of felt this
1:00
Speaker 1: joined it not necessarily from the team standpoint maybe, but
1:05
Speaker 1: I think most people know it by now. Trevor Lawrence
1:07
Speaker 1: wasn't really out there. He had some hamstring tightness. So
1:11
Speaker 1: there were four interceptions. He threw two of them, but
1:14
Speaker 1: you got the idea he couldn't really put anything on
1:15
Speaker 1: the ball. He was kind of in and out of practice,
1:18
Speaker 1: so it didn't really feel like the interceptions mattered that
1:21
Speaker 1: much jp you were watching him. I mean, it didn't
1:23
Speaker 1: like he was playing well or poorly or whatever. It
1:26
Speaker 1: just kind of felt like, well, his hanswering tight, get
1:29
Speaker 1: him out of there. It was sort of a I
1:32
Speaker 1: thought it was one of the weirder O t A
1:34
Speaker 1: practices from that perspective. I'm sure they got a lot done,
1:38
Speaker 1: but from an observer's perspective, it was just kind of weird.
1:40
Speaker 1: It was he just didn't have a lot of zip
1:42
Speaker 1: on it, bucky because as John mentioned there, that he
1:46
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of juice from the lower half.
1:48
Speaker 1: And then it was like time for urban to get okay,
1:51
Speaker 1: just sit out the rest of practice here and let
1:53
Speaker 1: the other guys throw it around a little bit. And
1:56
Speaker 1: that's what you get sometimes with them when you throw
1:59
Speaker 1: out the other quarterbacks out there too. That's what happened
2:01
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. That's a tough one. The main thing is
2:03
Speaker 1: you want to make sure, if you're ever mind, you
2:05
Speaker 1: want to make sure that Trevor Lawrence doesn't have any
2:07
Speaker 1: lingering issues when it comes to the soft tissue stuff
2:11
Speaker 1: that he can kind of figure it out. They can
2:12
Speaker 1: get a rehab, they can get him going. Um, he
2:15
Speaker 1: can get back on track and he doesn't miss any time,
2:18
Speaker 1: particularly when we get the training camp, you know, because
2:20
Speaker 1: you want them available to get all the reps for
2:21
Speaker 1: that and then you know to see the other guys,
2:24
Speaker 1: see what's going to min shoing, C. J. Bethard and
2:27
Speaker 1: us Lute, Jake Luton and all those other guys can
2:29
Speaker 1: do in terms of throwing the ball all over the
2:30
Speaker 1: yard and do we have anything and um, I don't know,
2:34
Speaker 1: but this is kind of like the dog days of
2:38
Speaker 1: the o C A camp season, like you're kind of like,
2:41
Speaker 1: what are we doing. We're not quite a mini camp yet,
2:44
Speaker 1: Like you're kind of getting tired of it all. And
2:46
Speaker 1: so you can have some of those loves. This is
2:49
Speaker 1: why most years I could care less about this time
2:53
Speaker 1: of year. And well, not that it's not important, because
2:58
Speaker 1: for the players and the coaches there is value to it.
3:02
Speaker 1: And I always a struggled to explain to fans what
3:05
Speaker 1: I mean by this. There's value to it in the
3:08
Speaker 1: sense that I do think there are players on the roster,
3:12
Speaker 1: coaches new coaches who need this time for learning. I
3:16
Speaker 1: think the value is for the players and the coaches.
3:19
Speaker 1: The issue I always have is we feel compelled as
3:24
Speaker 1: the fourth estate or the fifth of state, whatever the
3:26
Speaker 1: media is jp the seventh state. We feel compelled, and
3:30
Speaker 1: then Twitter feels compelled to follow it and draw conclusions
3:34
Speaker 1: from things. Well, urban Meyer put it really well, and
3:38
Speaker 1: sure it's one of those things he's learning about in spring,
3:42
Speaker 1: summer ball or in college. You can have pads on
3:45
Speaker 1: you have some competitiveness. In the NFL, you can't do that.
3:48
Speaker 1: And he was very cleft or practice twice and sort
3:50
Speaker 1: of went back to it on Tuesday. This is not
3:52
Speaker 1: a winner losers situation. For Urban to say that, who's
3:56
Speaker 1: all about competitiveness and winning and losing, means he gets
4:00
Speaker 1: this is a teaching time. And he said it best.
4:03
Speaker 1: This is about not losing their strength and not losing
4:06
Speaker 1: their speed. They are trying to maintain until they get
4:10
Speaker 1: to August when they can start competing and being real
4:14
Speaker 1: and seeing real things. I would guess if you really
4:16
Speaker 1: asked Urban, he's probably not a huge fan of these
4:20
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, he likes it's like most
4:24
Speaker 1: coaches do, getting out there competing, seeing who's better, who's worse. Well,
4:28
Speaker 1: that's not what this is. So it's very much a
4:30
Speaker 1: maintaining thing. I can sort of see from that perspective,
4:33
Speaker 1: JD why he decided to close most of them, because
4:38
Speaker 1: you know, the more you open and the more people
4:40
Speaker 1: are going to try to draw conclusions. And this is
4:42
Speaker 1: this really isn't a conclusion drawing time, except for us
4:46
Speaker 1: bozos who feel like we have to. I mean, that's
4:49
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. Oh, she's supposed to be
4:50
Speaker 1: out there, out there tracking all the completions. And in fact,
4:55
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for you to come across. I'm sitting
4:58
Speaker 1: here all the time, waiting in a Twitter wait for
5:00
Speaker 1: you to have like the completion percentage, to passer ratings,
5:03
Speaker 1: number of touchdowns, who's who's scored, who's who's hot, who's not.
5:08
Speaker 1: Never mind the tea time graphic too, we gotta get.
5:11
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I mean, I'm hoping that you're saving
5:14
Speaker 1: this sounds like you're gonna wait. And that's good, Bucky,
5:17
Speaker 1: because you're gonna go through some adversity here, and adversity
5:20
Speaker 1: builds character. It does build character. You and them say,
5:24
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you stay away from volunteering practices. Bucky,
5:28
Speaker 1: you can't. You can fly down here and a tractive
5:31
Speaker 1: things yourself. Yeah, it's I mean, I mean, I mean
5:34
Speaker 1: we're coming out. I just never know when the media
5:36
Speaker 1: days are. If I if I knew, I would be
5:38
Speaker 1: all over. I never knew what when media availability talking
5:41
Speaker 1: about Monday and I'll take his Twitter feed for some
5:45
Speaker 1: completion percentage. So we're gonna have We're gonna have it
5:48
Speaker 1: all of that, Like we can get a researcher to
5:51
Speaker 1: help us with the passer rating if we can calculate that.
5:54
Speaker 1: But I think your point that UH coach Meyer makes
5:58
Speaker 1: about this being different, it's not necessarily a competitive period.
6:02
Speaker 1: I bet it is an adjustment for him because when
6:05
Speaker 1: you're having spring ball at Ohio State in Florida, you
6:08
Speaker 1: have pads on, like you're getting after it. You have
6:12
Speaker 1: three or four scrimmages throughout that fifteen day period where
6:15
Speaker 1: you're yeah, they're really getting Yeah. Now he's looking around like,
6:21
Speaker 1: what what is this padde aike stuff that we're doing.
6:23
Speaker 1: Like we can line up and have team, but we
6:25
Speaker 1: can have team without pads on. How much real work
6:29
Speaker 1: can you do? In his mind. I'm sure it is
6:31
Speaker 1: a bit of an adjustment when it comes to what
6:33
Speaker 1: he's seeing and what he's used to seeing after being
6:36
Speaker 1: a coach at the collegiate level for such a long time. Hey, Bucky,
6:40
Speaker 1: if you're a player on the Jags, how ready must
6:43
Speaker 1: you better be for that fourth practice in training camp
6:47
Speaker 1: when the pads are ready to go on? Because the
6:50
Speaker 1: ball coach is ready to go now, I mean, I
6:54
Speaker 1: mean at some pore, we gotta put the ball down
6:56
Speaker 1: in a once in the huddle, let's go. Let's be
6:59
Speaker 1: ready for day. Um. I would anticipate there would be
7:04
Speaker 1: some there will be some very violent and physical days
7:08
Speaker 1: on the horizon. But here's the thing. They can't really
7:11
Speaker 1: do two a days. They can't go back and do
7:14
Speaker 1: old school. But he certainly can work them to death
7:17
Speaker 1: for about three and a half hours and kind to
7:19
Speaker 1: see what who's who it was was. So it'll be
7:21
Speaker 1: interesting to see what his practice regiment looks like. Erin
7:24
Speaker 1: might sleep on the field that night. He might just
7:27
Speaker 1: pitch tents out there and like the Duke kids for
7:30
Speaker 1: the basketball Gamesskiville right outside it'll be urban Meyerville. I
7:35
Speaker 1: have a little cot under the Glaciers perfect. I mean,
7:38
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's getting going, Let's get a profit.

8:08
Speaker 1: one Josh Allen spoke with the media on Tuesday, Jaguars
8:13
Speaker 1: defensive end and linebacker, and I had a little a
8:17
Speaker 1: little time with him after the fact after the media conference,
8:20
Speaker 1: And it's always a fun conversation with this guy. Obviously,
8:24
Speaker 1: you know, he missed a lot of games last season.
8:27
Speaker 1: He knows what his role should be on this defense
8:31
Speaker 1: and team. He's been a Pro Bowl player in the past,
8:34
Speaker 1: but he still has to go out there and prove
8:36
Speaker 1: it again. It's a new regime and all that. I
8:39
Speaker 1: was really happy to hear his energy level and spirit.
8:43
Speaker 1: I mean, he always has that anyway in him, but
8:46
Speaker 1: he feels re energized John. I don't know if you
8:50
Speaker 1: you caught him this week, you know it's um. That
8:54
Speaker 1: first conversation he had with Urban Meyer, I think really
8:57
Speaker 1: got to him that Okay, we're gonna be just fine
9:00
Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville. And I think he's got a big
9:03
Speaker 1: season coming because everything is is lined up for him
9:07
Speaker 1: in this defense, in this place to do things the
9:10
Speaker 1: right way. I could talk about Josh Allen for hours.
9:12
Speaker 1: I really like the guy. Beyond liking him, he's as impressive.
9:18
Speaker 1: There's only been a few rookies I've ever been around
9:21
Speaker 1: who I thought came in with the maturity level of
9:24
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. One of them was Bob Sanders, who I
9:27
Speaker 1: covered with the Colts in two thousand four, who was
9:30
Speaker 1: sort of stepped in playing at a Pro Bowl level.
9:32
Speaker 1: Didn't make it that year, but he was at a
9:35
Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Year level very quickly. More than that,
9:38
Speaker 1: Bob was a guy who older teammates respected unbelievably quickly.
9:44
Speaker 1: And the reason I talked about Bob so much as
9:46
Speaker 1: Josh reminds me of that. I don't know if old
9:49
Speaker 1: soul or whatever, but he's the kind of guy that
9:52
Speaker 1: as soon as he walks into a building. People know
9:54
Speaker 1: he belongs, People know that he takes the right approach.
9:57
Speaker 1: They also know the ability, which in the NF felt
10:00
Speaker 1: you have the right approach all you want, if you
10:02
Speaker 1: want the ability, it doesn't matter. This guy's got everything.
10:05
Speaker 1: I said many times, I'd be stunned if he's not
10:07
Speaker 1: a multi time pro bowler. I think he has a
10:10
Speaker 1: chance to be the von Miller of this defense. Maybe
10:13
Speaker 1: not von Miller Hall of Fame level. I can't put
10:15
Speaker 1: that on the kid. They were able to build around
10:17
Speaker 1: von Miller in Denver leadership very quickly and was very good,
10:22
Speaker 1: and they were good because of him. I think Josh
10:24
Speaker 1: Allen is the kind of guy you can be good
10:26
Speaker 1: because of on defense. I haven't talked to him for
10:30
Speaker 1: publication the way you have JP, but I did talk
10:32
Speaker 1: to him a couple of times a few weeks ago,
10:35
Speaker 1: just walking out, and he's the kind of guy you
10:37
Speaker 1: can have a conversation with him. DR. I caught the
10:39
Speaker 1: same vibe you did. He has fired up. Honestly, even
10:43
Speaker 1: off the record, he's very excited about this bunch. He
10:46
Speaker 1: thinks it's going in the right direction. I think fans
10:49
Speaker 1: sometimes JP because he didn't have a great year last
10:51
Speaker 1: year is the injuries have sort of forgotten about Josh
10:54
Speaker 1: a little bit. This is a guy who I think
10:56
Speaker 1: has a chance to be a premier player. He wasn't
11:00
Speaker 1: on his way to that last year. They didn't stop
11:01
Speaker 1: the run. If they get the run stopped, this kid
11:05
Speaker 1: can pressure the quarterback, the impact and change games. And again,
11:08
Speaker 1: I could go on about him forever. I feel like
11:10
Speaker 1: I already have, but this kid's special. Look. I think
11:15
Speaker 1: what you would like if you're you want your best
11:17
Speaker 1: players to be your hardest workers, um, and to be
11:20
Speaker 1: natural leaders. And I think by all accounts, Josh Allen's
11:23
Speaker 1: checks off all the boxes, going all the way back
11:25
Speaker 1: to when he was coming to Kentucky. You talked about
11:28
Speaker 1: it just feeling like he has a maturity about him
11:30
Speaker 1: that is different. I think that's one of the reasons
11:33
Speaker 1: why he was appealing. Um. You talk about a very
11:35
Speaker 1: mature player. UM, A guy who kind of appears to
11:39
Speaker 1: have everything together on the fielding off the field. That's
11:42
Speaker 1: someone when you who you want to hit your wagon
11:44
Speaker 1: to as a franchise player. And so when coach Marker
11:47
Speaker 1: walks into the locker room, he is trying right now
11:49
Speaker 1: to assess who are the players that he trust the most.
11:52
Speaker 1: Who are the guys that he can trust with certain
11:55
Speaker 1: leadership responsibilities. At the top of the list, Josh Allen
11:59
Speaker 1: is gonna be there. He comes as a bally hoop player.
12:01
Speaker 1: He's played at a high level despite missing most of
12:03
Speaker 1: one season with with the knee injury. I think he
12:06
Speaker 1: sees him as a bad rock. And it's also one
12:08
Speaker 1: of the reasons why you hear Urban alluding to, hey man,
12:13
Speaker 1: they had a great defense here. There's some pieces in place.
12:15
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear people talk about the core
12:17
Speaker 1: and not being enough talent. I think he appreciates and
12:20
Speaker 1: recognized some of the blue chip challenge that Alan Breen.
12:23
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, jaf you. No matter what they brought in,
12:26
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is supposed to be the best player in
12:28
Speaker 1: this defense this year. Yeah, and again I think that's
12:31
Speaker 1: sort of got forgotten about a little bit. And he
12:34
Speaker 1: had eleven sacks as a rookie because it or ten
12:37
Speaker 1: point five, I forget what it was, but it was
12:39
Speaker 1: double digits. And I think because he didn't repeat that
12:41
Speaker 1: because he had the injuries and whatever, I think people
12:44
Speaker 1: have sort of slid into a Yeah, but Calais was there,
12:50
Speaker 1: so that's why he got him, you know, and I
12:52
Speaker 1: hear that sometimes. It's just there's very much credit given
12:55
Speaker 1: to what Josh Townen did as a rookie. I'm not
12:56
Speaker 1: saying he was a mature player, yet he could have
12:59
Speaker 1: been the heard a fourth player in that draft. Uh
13:02
Speaker 1: And there were people who thought he was in Bucky's more.
13:07
Speaker 1: The draft grew than I am, but he was as
13:10
Speaker 1: good as any player in the draft that you so
13:14
Speaker 1: up there. Certainly all of a sudden through fortune, if
13:20
Speaker 1: Lawrence is what he's supposed to be, Josh Allen is
13:24
Speaker 1: premier beyond Blue Ship on the other side of the ball.
13:27
Speaker 1: He needs to be special for this to be. But
13:30
Speaker 1: if he is, this defense could turn around in a
13:32
Speaker 1: hurry if you have other pieces around him. I mean,
13:34
Speaker 1: I think that's the main thing. The me and other
13:36
Speaker 1: question is how good would Josh Allen be because right
13:39
Speaker 1: now he's kind of a one man show on the
13:40
Speaker 1: defensive line as he passed Rusher, and so they need him,
13:44
Speaker 1: We need him to play at a high level. I
13:46
Speaker 1: think the expectation has to be what I would call
13:49
Speaker 1: twelve plus. He needs twelve sacks plus whatever is above that,
13:53
Speaker 1: because if he's that disruptive on defense is me and
13:56
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense is playing the right way to stopping
13:59
Speaker 1: and run on earlydays, and they're giving him enough opportunities
14:03
Speaker 1: to be able to get the quarterback down. And so
14:05
Speaker 1: that's critical. And so if Josh Allen plays to the
14:08
Speaker 1: level that we expect him to play, he'll play a
14:11
Speaker 1: key role not only is a run soccer, but as
14:13
Speaker 1: a major sack artist. I have a question for defensive
14:17
Speaker 1: coordinator Bucky Brooks, John, if I may, how are you
14:21
Speaker 1: scheming up Josh Allen? Where are you putting him three
14:26
Speaker 1: four for three hybrid stuff? Like, what's the what's the
14:30
Speaker 1: sweet spot for Josh Allen to make that happen? Well,
14:33
Speaker 1: I mean I think by by trade he's gonna be
14:35
Speaker 1: an edge rusher. So however you define that, if it's
14:37
Speaker 1: a four three, he's your defensive end because on the
14:39
Speaker 1: age three or four he's your designated Russian Nickel situations
14:43
Speaker 1: where most teams are in some kind of foreman front. Uh,
14:46
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the fourth rusher. The main thing that
14:49
Speaker 1: you want to give him you want you want him
14:51
Speaker 1: to make plays. You don't want to slow him down,
14:54
Speaker 1: you want to wind him up and let him go
14:57
Speaker 1: off the edge and so keep it SA encourage him
15:00
Speaker 1: to play fast and man, just just let him go
15:03
Speaker 1: make plays. I think that's the only way you really
15:05
Speaker 1: can play with him. Four to six A to B
15:08
Speaker 1: absolutely plus two. See John, If you talk about potential,
15:13
Speaker 1: I had said going into last year, and I think
15:15
Speaker 1: it's double a true this year on paper and in
15:18
Speaker 1: fact in a couple of dayses the Jaguars should have
15:21
Speaker 1: three elite players where it matters, meaning they should have
15:24
Speaker 1: a lad on all three levels of their defense. Miles
15:27
Speaker 1: Jack is elite. I think he is is. I know
15:30
Speaker 1: he's not a pro bowler, but I think talent wise,
15:33
Speaker 1: you would call him an all pro pro bowl level
15:36
Speaker 1: type play. He can play that ability. And you have
15:38
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the X factor to me become C. J. Henderson.
15:41
Speaker 1: If he's top ten pick corner, then you've got what
15:45
Speaker 1: you I've always in the NFL you must have a
15:48
Speaker 1: premier player on all three levels to have a good defense.
15:51
Speaker 1: You can If you've got that, then you can do it.
15:55
Speaker 1: They've got guys who should be that. So I think
15:58
Speaker 1: that's why Urban looks around and says, you know, there's
15:59
Speaker 1: some players here that maybe people have gotten have overlooked
16:03
Speaker 1: a little bit. But again, there's some special players at
16:06
Speaker 1: a lot of positions on this team, so we'll see.
16:10
Speaker 1: And by the way, Henderson and Campbell were doing some
16:13
Speaker 1: stuff on the field on Tuesday for the first time,
16:16
Speaker 1: not full team stuff, but at least moving around in
16:19
Speaker 1: some individual periods, which is a good sign, you know
16:22
Speaker 1: it is. It is really a good sign because you
16:24
Speaker 1: need all hands on deck, and this is a defense
16:27
Speaker 1: that doesn't have enough telling where you can have some
16:31
Speaker 1: of the guys that are on the front line not
16:32
Speaker 1: be available until you want to make sure all those
16:35
Speaker 1: guys are there. Yeah. I want to talk about though,
16:37
Speaker 1: is you mentioned a mouse Jack. He is and necessarily
16:40
Speaker 1: the alpha dog or the natural leader, but he certainly
16:45
Speaker 1: brings value as as a guy that can make some
16:49
Speaker 1: things happen, and I think it's really important for him
16:52
Speaker 1: to be put in a role where he can create
16:54
Speaker 1: havoc and disruption new line of scrimmage and so whatever
16:57
Speaker 1: that looks like as a rusher, as a blizzer um
17:01
Speaker 1: take away, Miles, Jack needs to be one of the
17:04
Speaker 1: guys that kind of pushes for serious consideration as all
17:08
Speaker 1: the defended He's played every position in the book a
17:12
Speaker 1: linebacker in this organization, so like nothing is going to
17:16
Speaker 1: be new for him. He's he's old enough now or
17:18
Speaker 1: he's been he's been through some battles. You know, it's
17:21
Speaker 1: gonna be new. The position to explained this year is
17:23
Speaker 1: gonna be new. It's in My impression is that it's
17:29
Speaker 1: going to be a position that fits him very well.
17:31
Speaker 1: And Uh, he's going to be that weak backer in
17:35
Speaker 1: a three for it's sort of an inside backer, but
17:38
Speaker 1: it's not quite an inside backer. It's gonna play to
17:41
Speaker 1: his strength. Uh. They're going to use him creatively on
17:45
Speaker 1: this defense, and I would expect him to blitz. I said,
17:49
Speaker 1: if fans ever complained before about them not using Miles
17:54
Speaker 1: Uh in a way to use his athleticism, I don't
17:57
Speaker 1: think that will be a complaint this year. I think
18:00
Speaker 1: his athleticism and his skill set will be used, no
18:03
Speaker 1: doubt about that. This is the Huddle Up Podcast, J P. Shadrick,
18:07

19:14
Speaker 1: did you see all the renderings that were released last
19:17
Speaker 1: week in downtown Jacksonville. The first Downtown Jacksonville announcement um
19:22
Speaker 1: with shot Con involve Mark lamping Or but Meyer was
19:25
Speaker 1: part of the announcement the other day. What do you see?
19:27
Speaker 1: What you like? Well? I liked a lot of things,
19:30
Speaker 1: and at the risk of drawing the ire of my
19:33
Speaker 1: god j O, I must say one of the favorite
19:36
Speaker 1: things that I liked in the rendering was the Four
19:38
Speaker 1: Seasons hotel. I mean, I like that. I just think
19:40
Speaker 1: it's important that you have proper accommodations around the facility.
19:44
Speaker 1: I think that is that is a good thing for
19:46
Speaker 1: what they're doing. But also the indoor, like being able
19:49
Speaker 1: to add an indoor, the facilities and all those things,
19:52
Speaker 1: and with the backdrop of Jacksonville being right there, it
19:55
Speaker 1: looks first class and everything that you heard and listening
19:58
Speaker 1: to Urban talk about it afterwards, Um, I mean, I
20:01
Speaker 1: want first class. One of the players to have the
20:03
Speaker 1: best get the best stuff so they can be around
20:07
Speaker 1: draw the iron. Four Seasons tell as much as the
20:09
Speaker 1: next guy. I just can't afford it. Buck, He's gonna
20:14
Speaker 1: have one of those residences on the there's no question,
20:17
Speaker 1: I thought. I thought, what happened we walked through the
20:20
Speaker 1: lobby of the Four Seasons. I'll be walking through, Hey, Buck, Buck,
20:25
Speaker 1: He'll be up to his elevator, but he don't even
20:29
Speaker 1: know who I am. I mean, is there any question
20:32
Speaker 1: that's in his deal? Hey? Whenever I come in in
20:34
Speaker 1: the four seasons, we're gonna be like, you know what,
20:36
Speaker 1: we uh, remember that time that Bucky didn't come to
20:39
Speaker 1: voluntary why don't we rewind to that He'll be here
20:42
Speaker 1: just relevant? I mean, I mean I would. I kind
20:46
Speaker 1: of like having chocolates on the pillows and those things
20:48
Speaker 1: will turn down service. I think it'd be great for
20:52
Speaker 1: the play No, but really on the series TI. I
20:55
Speaker 1: think the rendering and when you look at it, I
20:58
Speaker 1: think it's really impressive. And when you here, Coach Meyer
21:02
Speaker 1: talked about this being a destination place, a place where
21:05
Speaker 1: you can bring free agents because Sparta doesn't have state tax.
21:08
Speaker 1: You got warm weather, you have the newest and best facilities,
21:12
Speaker 1: and you offer up all of the amenities that every
21:14
Speaker 1: player could want. What he is trying to create is
21:18
Speaker 1: a situation where you have of the Jaguars live in
21:23
Speaker 1: in town. That means they are always at workouts, They're
21:25
Speaker 1: always in the building getting better. If you want to
21:28
Speaker 1: create an elite level program, we will talk about it
21:31
Speaker 1: in college terms. That's what you have to have. You
21:33
Speaker 1: have to have buy in, and so this will give
21:36
Speaker 1: the players an opportunity to buy in because you're talking
21:38
Speaker 1: about first class everything. Based on what the scriptus on
21:42
Speaker 1: what they're talking about getting done over the next few years.
21:45
Speaker 1: John we we discussed this a little bit on Jaguars
21:48
Speaker 1: reporters on Monday. But you on this place opened. There
21:54
Speaker 1: wasn't a big deal to have the in the stadium facility, right,
21:57
Speaker 1: I mean it was around the league different places. There
21:59
Speaker 1: was at old stadiums still around in the NFL as well,
22:03
Speaker 1: and that's just kind of how things operated. Well since then,
22:06
Speaker 1: times have changed a bit and if somebody, if anybody
22:09
Speaker 1: would know an arms race, it's Urban Meyer, right, I mean,
22:13
Speaker 1: he lived in the arms race world, so he understands
22:17
Speaker 1: what it takes to attract people to an organization and
22:21
Speaker 1: and having this type of facility is certainly a way
22:24
Speaker 1: to do that. In my role for the Times Union
22:27
Speaker 1: back in the day, I traveled to a lot of
22:29
Speaker 1: NFL teams. I went to the Stevens Point. I mean,
22:32
Speaker 1: I went to the training camps in Wisconsin a couple
22:34
Speaker 1: of times. I went to UH, I went to Denver
22:38
Speaker 1: during the season, I went to the New York Jets,
22:41
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. And referencing this because in the nineties I
22:45
Speaker 1: saw the jag Wars facility and I saw you I
22:48
Speaker 1: don't know eight or nine other facilities, not just the stadiums,
22:53
Speaker 1: but where they practiced. I went to Denver for a
22:56
Speaker 1: couple of playoff games. I went to Buffalo. Same deal.
22:59
Speaker 1: When you in in the nineties from Jacksonville and came back,
23:03
Speaker 1: you didn't see very much difference in what you were
23:05
Speaker 1: seeing at the other stadiums. And when you came back
23:09
Speaker 1: to town and a Buckey played for multiple teams and
23:13
Speaker 1: Bucky hat, you might be able to speak to it,
23:15
Speaker 1: but you probably didn't have this sense that, oh, Jacksonville's
23:18
Speaker 1: facilities incredible worst, incredible batter it was, it was fun. Well,
23:24
Speaker 1: now when you go to different facilities, it's it's been
23:27
Speaker 1: state of the art. And because twenty five years later,
23:31
Speaker 1: you know, this circumstance hasn't changed, many others have. So yes,
23:37
Speaker 1: Urban is gonna get and deserve a lot of credit
23:39
Speaker 1: for the new facility. But I do believe that at
23:43
Speaker 1: some point this needed to get done, period, and you know,
23:48
Speaker 1: no time like the president, no time like the president
23:51
Speaker 1: like John. I think it's it's just really important to
23:54
Speaker 1: be able to do it. And we talked about first
23:57
Speaker 1: class facilities, the way you treat the players, Uh, it's
24:00
Speaker 1: the little things. It's the little things that keep guys around.
24:03
Speaker 1: It might be the little things that down the line,
24:04
Speaker 1: if this team becomes really, really good, that might be
24:07
Speaker 1: the difference in keeping a veteran who might be able
24:09
Speaker 1: to chase more money elsewhere, but because he feels like
24:13
Speaker 1: he was treated in such a way that he doesn't
24:15
Speaker 1: want to leave the community. And so I think this
24:19
Speaker 1: is something that Jacksonville has probably needed to do for
24:23
Speaker 1: a while. I remember in the run up to the
24:25
Speaker 1: end of the regular season, we talked about coaches and
24:27
Speaker 1: culture and what this team needed to do. And I
24:30
Speaker 1: remember discussing Pittsburgh and Buffalo in Green Bay and how
24:35
Speaker 1: they go about their process. Well, they I mean, they
24:39
Speaker 1: do it by really treating their guys in a first
24:42
Speaker 1: class fashion, and then they make sure that the offseason
24:46
Speaker 1: program and those things are are worthy of these guys
24:49
Speaker 1: coming back and spending more time in town. All I
24:51
Speaker 1: know is that in the new office building that's by
24:54
Speaker 1: the four seasons, John is going to have a corner
24:57
Speaker 1: penthouse suite over from the river. I was told that
25:00
Speaker 1: the other day. M hmm, wow, Yeah, I'm impressed John. Yeah,
25:06
Speaker 1: that's uh, it's I don't know where all be or
25:10
Speaker 1: if I'll be, but I know where I won't be,
25:14
Speaker 1: and I won't be there. Come on, man, So we're
25:19
Speaker 1: looking at we're looking at three for the team. Facilities,
25:23
Speaker 1: still have some hoops to jump through the city, some
25:26
Speaker 1: things like that thing's officially done yet, but they're still
25:29
Speaker 1: working through the downtown investment folks, and then along to
25:32
Speaker 1: the city council and after that. But there's a pretty
25:34
Speaker 1: good feeling about this one. This is the Huddle Up Podcast,

Speaker 1: on the side, and I should be should be there.
26:47
Speaker 1: I should exhibit good body language that I know that's
26:50
Speaker 1: very important. So I'll make sure I give good body language.
26:52
Speaker 1: I'm paying attention to see the new Jaguars. Has there
26:54
Speaker 1: been another Travis? It's agaend wide receiver sighting. Is that
26:58
Speaker 1: a thing? Or are we done with that? I think so? Yeah,
27:01
Speaker 1: he's he's all over that. He's a Swiss Army knife.
27:04
Speaker 1: Bucky of course. I mean, you're so so much outrage
27:08
Speaker 1: and you've got a touchdown on Tuesday. J P. Yeah
27:11

27:31
Speaker 1: mean it's it's hard to plan amid all the excitement
27:37
Speaker 1: of Bucky arriving to be honest with you, It's it's distracting. Yeah,
27:41
Speaker 1: it's really that's what people want to know about. So
27:46
Speaker 1: what is played by are we having a daily podcast
27:49
Speaker 1: next week? Is that the plan is that if that,
27:53
Speaker 1: if that's in his contract, I mean, I don't know,
27:56
Speaker 1: you mess with that contract. We should be able to
28:00
Speaker 1: do that. I gotta make sure that I don't wear
28:02
Speaker 1: my customer and routine black. Um, it may be so warm,
28:05
Speaker 1: I may have to wear some lighter colors. You know,
28:08
Speaker 1: they make drive fit clothes now, Bucky, you know, but
28:11
Speaker 1: still like still black is still really it's really really hot.
28:15
Speaker 1: Technology has changed since Nan how many people actually around
28:21
Speaker 1: from when Bucky was here. I know Dan Edwards is
28:23
Speaker 1: still here, guys, Bucky might know by sight skip skip
28:27
Speaker 1: still here. Yeah, damn, damn still yeah. Yeah. I wanted
28:37
Speaker 1: a short list. It's a short list. I just certainly
28:40
Speaker 1: hope that I don't have to have my helmet on
28:42
Speaker 1: snapped up, because I still have flashbacks to day with
28:44
Speaker 1: Coach Coughlan, where I had to have everything snapped up
28:47
Speaker 1: and ready to go. I don't know about I don't
