- 0:30Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Who John the other reindeer? Olive, I have
- 0:39Speaker 1: no idea. All of their reindeer, all of the other reindeer.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Ha ha ha. You got you gotta have kids, JP,
- 0:49Speaker 1: you gotta have kids? Yeah, I don't. Well, I don't
- 0:53Speaker 1: have any. But anyway, let's we got a busy show ahead.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Now that I've been duped right off the top of
- 0:59Speaker 1: the show, it's me and Ozier today. That's right, you
- 1:03Speaker 1: get us two for the next thirty to forty minutes.
- 1:06Speaker 1: It's first round pick fever in Jacksonville. The Jaguars currently
- 1:10Speaker 1: hold the number one overall pick. If the season were
- 1:13Speaker 1: to end today, it doesn't. There are two games to go.
- 1:17Speaker 1: GM interviews are underway. We will hear from our normal
- 1:20Speaker 1: co host Bucky Brooks. He's not with us live today,
- 1:23Speaker 1: but we'll get his thoughts on the three reported candidates
- 1:26Speaker 1: that have interviewed or will be interviewing soon for the
- 1:29Speaker 1: general manager role with the Jaguars after the dismissal of
- 1:32Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell earlier this year. Uniform unveiling Jimmy Luck joins
- 1:36Speaker 1: us from the stadium to show off what the Jags
- 1:39Speaker 1: will wear in their home finale this week. And we
- 1:41Speaker 1: will play John, You and I will play Big Game
- 1:44Speaker 1: Jaguar this week. So we've got a lot going on. Obviously,
- 1:48Speaker 1: the team's one in thirteen, so the things going on
- 1:52Speaker 1: around a one in thirteen football team are much different
- 1:55Speaker 1: than those going on around a team that's you know,
- 1:58Speaker 1: two games of five hundred and fighting for playoff positioning.
- 2:02Speaker 1: You know, that's just how it works. There's a g
- 2:05Speaker 1: M search going on right now. The Jags are currently
- 2:08Speaker 1: number one in the NFL Draft. Next year, Um, there's
- 2:11Speaker 1: a quarterback competition in weeks sixteen somehow, But that's happening.
- 2:16Speaker 1: That's the real thing. Apparently it's a lot happening for
- 2:19Speaker 1: a team that's lost thirteen in a row down the
- 2:23Speaker 1: stretch of the season. Here, Well, it's it's uh in
- 2:28Speaker 1: a lot of ways, it's next year already, and uh,
- 2:32Speaker 1: I'll defer to Brian Sexton who said that a couple
- 2:34Speaker 1: of times on our morning show Drive Time, but he's right,
- 2:38Speaker 1: and it's in a lot of ways. With the GM
- 2:41Speaker 1: search already going on talk of the quarterback, it's it's
- 2:45Speaker 1: about the future because it one in thirteen. You don't
- 2:48Speaker 1: want it to be about the present. So there's a
- 2:50Speaker 1: lot of topics. I'm sure we'll cover them all, but
- 2:53Speaker 1: it's it's a bizarre time, JP. I know you feel it.
- 2:57Speaker 1: There's a huge disconnect between what we do all the time,
- 3:00Speaker 1: which is cover in the micro if you will. You know,
- 3:04Speaker 1: you cover game to game, and Monday and Wednesday and Thursday,
- 3:06Speaker 1: you have your routine and you're talking about matchups. The
- 3:09Speaker 1: macro is all anybody cares about, and we get that,
- 3:14Speaker 1: no doubt, but there are still two football games to play.
- 3:18Speaker 1: And the response to Doug Marone's comments earlier this week
- 3:23Speaker 1: that they're trying to go win football games, you know,
- 3:26Speaker 1: and the same as they were a month or two ago.
- 3:28Speaker 1: By the way, that that response has been interesting to
- 3:31Speaker 1: watch because, as you said, people it feels like now
- 3:34Speaker 1: since they see the number one pick in their grasp,
- 3:38Speaker 1: that's all they have on their mind now the blinders
- 3:41Speaker 1: are on. Anything else to detract from that is not
- 3:44Speaker 1: going to go over well publicly well, And I get
- 3:49Speaker 1: that because and this is not a at all a
- 3:52Speaker 1: knock on fans. This is just fans do not get
- 3:56Speaker 1: a chance to get to know players and coaches the
- 4:00Speaker 1: way maybe they would like, So they don't really know
- 4:03Speaker 1: from talking to him over the year. They are wired
- 4:06Speaker 1: to win. And I get that they haven't won. But
- 4:10Speaker 1: Doug Browne JP wakes up at whatever time, wakes up
- 4:14Speaker 1: earlier than I goes to bed later. He's there every day,
- 4:18Speaker 1: and he's he's dealing with sixty guys who are looking
- 4:21Speaker 1: to him for leadership. He's not walking in going maybe
- 4:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to win this. It's every waking moment.
- 4:29Speaker 1: He can't switch that off just because somebody wants Trevor
- 4:32Speaker 1: Lawrence next year, nor should he. Um, that's the great dilemma.
- 4:38Speaker 1: And you can say all you want about well, that's
- 4:40Speaker 1: that's ridiculous, that's all this, but it's how they're wired.
- 4:44Speaker 1: They are not gonna see things the same way as
- 4:47Speaker 1: a fan does. It's never gonna happen. So, yes, you know,
- 4:52Speaker 1: question would be better for the franchise long term, Trevor Lawrence.
- 4:55Speaker 1: If they get the number one pick, maybe that means losing,
- 4:58Speaker 1: But don't think they're gonna see it that way, because
- 5:00Speaker 1: no matter how magic get about it, they're not right.
- 5:05Speaker 1: And an f a coach or player loses that, they
- 5:09Speaker 1: might as well get out of the business because if
- 5:11Speaker 1: you lose that and don't have that, then the drive
- 5:15Speaker 1: to go win all the time, that's what That's what
- 5:18Speaker 1: you have to have as a competitor. So you don't
- 5:21Speaker 1: expect that to happen. Now to the quarterback competition going on,
- 5:26Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew and Mike Glennan, Yeah, it's not a controversy
- 5:30Speaker 1: because there is no controversy. We've seen all three of
- 5:33Speaker 1: the quarterbacks this year and have a pretty good idea
- 5:36Speaker 1: of what they are and what they have done and
- 5:38Speaker 1: what they probably will do the final couple of weeks.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And I hope they play well obviously, but we've seen
- 5:43Speaker 1: the track record is not great. John, so um, what's
- 5:47Speaker 1: your early odds favorite to be the starter this week?
- 5:51Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, that's my best answer. I wish
- 5:59Speaker 1: I had a better I mean, honestly, I think glenn
- 6:02Speaker 1: it will start because I think if you were going
- 6:04Speaker 1: to Minshew, he would have said it. I feel that
- 6:09Speaker 1: I don't know how passionate I am about the prediction.
- 6:11Speaker 1: It's it's not a hot take. I just I guess
- 6:16Speaker 1: they go with Glennon because I think over seven games
- 6:20Speaker 1: and then last week as the starter, you've seen what
- 6:24Speaker 1: Minshew is and I get that some people like the
- 6:28Speaker 1: scrambling and the creativity and all that. He doesn't make
- 6:33Speaker 1: throws down field that you have to make in the NFL.
- 6:36Speaker 1: He doesn't have the pocket present or at least he's
- 6:38Speaker 1: not showing it to win in this league. So when
- 6:43Speaker 1: they went to Glennon, they went to him because they
- 6:46Speaker 1: thought he had at least those things to run an
- 6:49Speaker 1: offense better than Minshew did. I guess they go back
- 6:53Speaker 1: to Glennon j P. I I don't know how passionate
- 6:57Speaker 1: I am about the whole situation. Right, That's what it is.
- 7:01Speaker 1: At this point, it's week sixteen, it's Christmas week, and
- 7:03Speaker 1: there's a quarterback competition, and glenna would be playing his
- 7:06Speaker 1: old team that that would be the only bit up
- 7:08Speaker 1: in Chicago that they would they would see. UM James
- 7:11Speaker 1: Robinson is on the injury report. He did not practice
- 7:14Speaker 1: today with an ankle issue, and he wants to play.
- 7:19Speaker 1: According to Doug Moron, of course he's from the state.
- 7:22Speaker 1: He's from right outside Chicago. I'm sure he wants to
- 7:24Speaker 1: put a good impression in front of the Chicago Bears
- 7:27Speaker 1: and go play more because he wants to go play.
- 7:30Speaker 1: He's an undrafted rookie who was on a great run
- 7:33Speaker 1: this year and he still has some milestones he could
- 7:35Speaker 1: achieve before the end of the season, and you can't
- 7:38Speaker 1: achieve those milestones sipping gatorade on the sideline. Well, I
- 7:42Speaker 1: think I think he'll play because he's a young kid.
- 7:45Speaker 1: He's still fired up. Yeah. He remember when we were young, JP,
- 7:51Speaker 1: how he used to have like this bright, optimistic outlook
- 7:53Speaker 1: on life and hey, let's go. I think James still
- 7:56Speaker 1: has that. And I mean a little facetious because it's
- 7:59Speaker 1: Chris this week, but yeah, I mean he wants to play,
- 8:03Speaker 1: and he should want to play. The reason Jaguars fans
- 8:06Speaker 1: love him is because he's a motivated professional, everything you
- 8:12Speaker 1: want in a guy. If he didn't want to play,
- 8:16Speaker 1: they wouldn't love him. He wouldn't be the player that
- 8:18Speaker 1: he is. You know. I would hope that if there's
- 8:23Speaker 1: any chance at injury, any chance of any favoring that
- 8:27Speaker 1: they would put him on the shelf. They're not going
- 8:28Speaker 1: to do that if he's healthy. But in this situation,
- 8:32Speaker 1: I think they'll be smart with him and not run
- 8:35Speaker 1: him very much. It won't be because they're tanking. It'll
- 8:38Speaker 1: be to protect the kid from himself. So we'll come
- 8:42Speaker 1: back in a moment. Some bear talk ahead. We've got
- 8:46Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks are normal co host on this show off today,
- 8:49Speaker 1: but we caught up with him earlier for some insight
- 8:52Speaker 1: to these reported general manager interviews that are taking place
- 8:57Speaker 1: or have taken place over the last little while. Here
- 9:00Speaker 1: will break those down. Coming up, Jimmy Luck still schedule

- 11:11Speaker 1: Welcome Back. Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto
- 11:15Speaker 1: Group on a Wednesday ahead of Week sixteen. And it's
- 11:17Speaker 1: not just any week, It's Christmas Week j P. Shadrick
- 11:22Speaker 1: John Oser Just in case you didn't know by now,
- 11:24Speaker 1: Christmas is what two days from now tomorrow John's Christmas
- 11:28Speaker 1: Eve and the day after that this Christmas Day. And
- 11:31Speaker 1: I know, looking at the set behind you, you have
- 11:34Speaker 1: been ready for weeks. You've got an elf back. There's
- 11:42Speaker 1: seen it? Who's seen at all? I'll say that. So
- 11:45Speaker 1: the Jaguars have started apparently general manager interviews. According to reports,
- 11:52Speaker 1: Three names have been reported so far Lewis, Riddick, Trent Balky,
- 11:57Speaker 1: and Rick Smith, Riddy Gay former Monday Night or the
- 12:01Speaker 1: current Monday Night Football analysts. Former Washington and Eagles personnel man.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Trent Balky is here now is the interim former nine
- 12:10Speaker 1: ers GM the Rick Smith has a history in this division.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Those are the three names reported. John. We'll hear from
- 12:17Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks here in just a moment. But hey, the
- 12:20Speaker 1: process is starting, I guess is the storyline with this? Yeah,
- 12:24Speaker 1: and you know, anybody who's getting named, I would say
- 12:28Speaker 1: this first. Anybody's getting named and being interviewed is a
- 12:32Speaker 1: legitimate candidate, you know, And I'll say that first. At
- 12:36Speaker 1: the same time, you know, obviously you're going to interview
- 12:40Speaker 1: Balky or at least consider him. He's in the building,
- 12:43Speaker 1: so you I don't know what direction they're gonna go,
- 12:47Speaker 1: but you want to get that out of the way first,
- 12:52Speaker 1: because at some point expediency becomes a deal here because
- 12:57Speaker 1: whoever you're gonna pick, if you choose somebody from the outside,
- 13:00Speaker 1: you to want to wait. Riddick and Smith also very
- 13:05Speaker 1: legitimate candidates. Rick Smith's you know, four division titles, and
- 13:09Speaker 1: Riddick's going to be a gem in the league at
- 13:10Speaker 1: some point. They also happen to satisfy the Rooney rule element,
- 13:16Speaker 1: which means that part of the process, no matter what
- 13:18Speaker 1: they do, is done once they interview those guys. So
- 13:25Speaker 1: now I don't expect these three d the only ones.
- 13:29Speaker 1: But now you can move do whatever other due diligence.
- 13:33Speaker 1: If it's Smith, go do your other due diligence. You
- 13:36Speaker 1: can come back and get the higher made quick getting
- 13:39Speaker 1: these out of the way, because they're out there, they're available.
- 13:42Speaker 1: You can do them now. You can't do any other
- 13:44Speaker 1: guy in the league if he's in the league already, uh,
- 13:49Speaker 1: because of tampering and all that. So get these guys done.
- 13:52Speaker 1: You're ready. Now you've got three done, or however many
- 13:54Speaker 1: it's gonna be, I don't know the number. And then
- 13:57Speaker 1: you can start moving if you if you have other
- 14:00Speaker 1: people in the league you want to interview, you can
- 14:02Speaker 1: move on those guys when you move on him. I
- 14:05Speaker 1: caught up with our co host John on this show
- 14:08Speaker 1: every Wednesday, Bucky Brooks NFL network analysts with a full
- 14:12Speaker 1: conversation about everything that's happened this week on the public
- 14:16Speaker 1: S Tailgate show this Sunday ahead of kickoff on Jaguars Radio.
- 14:20Speaker 1: But this portion was his insight to each of these
- 14:24Speaker 1: three names that have been reported. General manager interviews reportedly
- 14:28Speaker 1: have started this week. I don't know. On Jaguars dot
- 14:31Speaker 1: com this week you had some writing about some of
- 14:33Speaker 1: the candidates and what they bring to the table. Let's
- 14:37Speaker 1: go through them. Let's start off with Lewis Riddick, who
- 14:40Speaker 1: has been reported to have interviewed with the Jaguars. Monday
- 14:42Speaker 1: Night Football analysts tell us about his past. So Lewis
- 14:46Speaker 1: Ridick is funny because Lewis and our teammates with the
- 14:48Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders back in the day. And I will say
- 14:50Speaker 1: is one of the brightest minds in football. Obviously, you
- 14:53Speaker 1: hear how he conveys and teaches the game to fans
- 14:56Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football during the TELECASI and also on ESPN.
- 15:00Speaker 1: He certainly gets it from a big picture perspective. He
- 15:02Speaker 1: has been influenced the right way, having played in Cleveland
- 15:06Speaker 1: under Bill Belichick and Nick Saban. He understands how football
- 15:09Speaker 1: should be played. He is more the type that we're
- 15:13Speaker 1: leaning towards an old school tent in terms of smart, fast,
- 15:17Speaker 1: physical football. He wants to have a team that is
- 15:19Speaker 1: strong down the middle, and I think he has said
- 15:21Speaker 1: that on numerous occasions when he's had the opportunity to
- 15:24Speaker 1: talk about team building on TV. And so he is
- 15:27Speaker 1: obviously someone who has worked in a couple of different
- 15:30Speaker 1: front offices, the Washington football team, the Philadelphia Eagles as
- 15:34Speaker 1: a pro director, and so what he doesn't have and
- 15:37Speaker 1: top end experience, he makes up for in his expertise
- 15:42Speaker 1: and how he's been influenced by those who have been very,
- 15:45Speaker 1: very successful in the league. Next name up, Trenton Bunky.
- 15:49Speaker 1: He is the in the house option at least at
- 15:52Speaker 1: the moment, uh, the interim GM right now. He came
- 15:55Speaker 1: on in January of this year. We know his track
- 15:57Speaker 1: record with the forty Niners. They had some sess when
- 16:00Speaker 1: he was there. Yeah, he had a lot of success. Um.
- 16:03Speaker 1: He is a guy who kind of worked up the
- 16:04Speaker 1: ranks as a scout. He has been with a few
- 16:07Speaker 1: different organizations, the Jets Washington before making his way to
- 16:10Speaker 1: San Francisco. Uh, really worked with a guy that I'm
- 16:14Speaker 1: really uh familiar found within that Scott mccloyin and they
- 16:17Speaker 1: built that forty Niners team into a juggernaut. Um. You
- 16:21Speaker 1: see some of the picks and some of the things
- 16:22Speaker 1: that they were able to do the way they played.
- 16:25Speaker 1: They certainly, UM were a star studied group who had
- 16:28Speaker 1: a lot of success, and I think, UH, if he
- 16:31Speaker 1: had an opportunity to really put his import on the
- 16:33Speaker 1: Jackson Jaguars, I think you would see some of those
- 16:35Speaker 1: things play out. Big and strong in the trenches. Defense
- 16:39Speaker 1: that really has pass for USS as just able to
- 16:40Speaker 1: control it. UM fast at the second level on defense.
- 16:44Speaker 1: And then if you flip the offense, playmakers, running game, quarterback,
- 16:49Speaker 1: that's dynamic. He understands how to build that. And so
- 16:52Speaker 1: if he had his opportunity, with all the picks and
- 16:54Speaker 1: the things that are set up for whoever takes over
- 16:56Speaker 1: the role UM, he certainly would be able to build
- 17:00Speaker 1: his team in the vision of a fast, physical football
- 17:03Speaker 1: team that should have a lot of success, Bucky. The
- 17:06Speaker 1: final name will discuss today that has been mentioned as
- 17:09Speaker 1: an interviewee is Rick Smith, the guy we know well
- 17:12Speaker 1: in the a f C South with his time down
- 17:14Speaker 1: in Houston. Yeah, Rick Smith has been very, very successful
- 17:17Speaker 1: as a general manager UM. In twelve seasons in Houston,
- 17:21Speaker 1: he had eight teams that were five hundred better. UH.
- 17:24Speaker 1: They won four division titles, three or four playoff mark.
- 17:27Speaker 1: And then I think when you look at the draft record,
- 17:29Speaker 1: the draft record is pretty impressive. J. J. Watt, Deshaun Watson,
- 17:33Speaker 1: Jadevian Clowney, uh DeAndre Hopkins all were guys that came
- 17:37Speaker 1: in were cornerstone players for the franchise. I think with
- 17:40Speaker 1: Rick Smith, what you're getting is a very experienced guy
- 17:43Speaker 1: who is a great communicator. I think if you look
- 17:45Speaker 1: at his relationships not only with scouts but with the
- 17:47Speaker 1: head coaches, he has been able to get along and
- 17:49Speaker 1: try and create a cooperation that allows uh the team
- 17:54Speaker 1: to kind of have one voice in one vision. And
- 17:56Speaker 1: so when you look at the Jaguars in the situation
- 17:59Speaker 1: with the number of draft picks, the salary cap space,
- 18:03Speaker 1: the young talent that's available, I would like to think
- 18:05Speaker 1: that Rick Smith would be able to hit the ground running,
- 18:08Speaker 1: particularly because he has a familiarity with the division that
- 18:10Speaker 1: should give him an edge over some candidates general manager
- 18:14Speaker 1: and had a Rucky Brooks Rocky Brooks our co host
- 18:19Speaker 1: on Jaguars Happy Hour each Wednesday. He also joins us
- 18:23Speaker 1: on the Scoreboard show on Jaguars Radio. Will have the
- 18:26Speaker 1: full conversation this week available on the Public tailgate show
- 18:29Speaker 1: Sunday out of the Bears Jaguars matchup, and John he's
- 18:32Speaker 1: going to be um quite uh quite quite somebody to
- 18:36Speaker 1: have on the air with us, quite a good contributor, certainly,
- 18:39Speaker 1: I think during this whole process and leading up to
- 18:43Speaker 1: the draft as well, we're looking forward to having Bucky
- 18:45Speaker 1: around here. No, i'd be great, and I h I
- 18:49Speaker 1: think I've joked with Bucky before, but it would not
- 18:53Speaker 1: surprise me if in the future he were to get
- 18:57Speaker 1: back into this end of the business, may either as
- 19:01Speaker 1: a player personnel person a GM. You know, a GM,
- 19:05Speaker 1: because he's he's good, he knows the game and he
- 19:09Speaker 1: knows I've talked to him before about this player scout
- 19:14Speaker 1: media guy. He's seen big picture, he's seen the whole league,
- 19:17Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of insight. I don't know long. I
- 19:20Speaker 1: don't know how long we'll happen Jaguars dot Com frankly,
- 19:23Speaker 1: because my guess is he'll be in the league at
- 19:25Speaker 1: some point in his career. Somebody who knows a lot

- 22:17Speaker 1: Jaguars game this Sunday. There's a lot going on, obviously
- 22:20Speaker 1: with the holidays coming up, But how much does that
- 22:23Speaker 1: change the football schedule, the equipment staff schedule and everything
- 22:27Speaker 1: the next couple of days. Um, well, it gets us
- 22:31Speaker 1: a h kind of a day off in the middle there. Um,
- 22:34Speaker 1: so we'll be off on Friday, Christmas Day, so that'll
- 22:37Speaker 1: be cool. Um. You don't really get too many of
- 22:39Speaker 1: those during the season, so that'll be nice. We'll get
- 22:42Speaker 1: out of here decent hour Thursday, little, uh you know,
- 22:45Speaker 1: Christmas even and then sleep well at my house. We
- 22:48Speaker 1: can sleep in a little bit. I'm sure George will
- 22:50Speaker 1: be up in early at his house with his kids.
- 22:52Speaker 1: But um, you know, we get a nice little day
- 22:55Speaker 1: off and uh ready to go back Saturday and then
- 22:58Speaker 1: take on the Bear Sunday Week six. Yes, yes, yes, John, Yes, Jimmy,
- 23:07Speaker 1: did you get my present? I don't think the late
- 23:13Speaker 1: FedEx has run yet. I didn't get yours either, so
- 23:17Speaker 1: thanks for nothing. All right, Well, that was a long
- 23:23Speaker 1: set up for that one, but it was well worth it.
- 23:25Speaker 1: I like it. So Week sixty the it's a home game,
- 23:29Speaker 1: you know Chicago. Um, it's probably freezing cold. I haven't
- 23:32Speaker 1: looked at the weather there, but here today it's like
- 23:35Speaker 1: seventy degrees or something. Now there's a cold front coming
- 23:38Speaker 1: through on Christmas, Jimmy, So what's the forecast on Sunday
- 23:41Speaker 1: and how do you prepare for it? Actually should be
- 23:45Speaker 1: warming back up on by Sunday. I think the high
- 23:48Speaker 1: Friday is supposed to be like forty five somewhere around
- 23:50Speaker 1: and there. So I'm kind of glad we're not practicing
- 23:53Speaker 1: that day. But now it should be nice on on Sunday. Um,
- 23:58Speaker 1: fills should be in good shape, so hopefully everything will
- 24:02Speaker 1: be hopefully smooth. Hopefully we can do all our work
- 24:05Speaker 1: during the week and then so we can kind of
- 24:06Speaker 1: watch the game on Sunday. Yeah, watch the game, get
- 24:10Speaker 1: ready to go, and then I get ready to have
- 24:12Speaker 1: a good performance against the Bears this week. All right, Jimmy,
- 24:15Speaker 1: let's do it. At the moment of truth, this is
- 24:17Speaker 1: what we wait on every week. We gotta have it.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I love seeing it. The Jaguars uniform combination debut. What
- 24:25Speaker 1: do you got? Alright, So for the last home game,
- 24:28Speaker 1: we're gonna go with the black jerseys. Oh we got
- 24:33Speaker 1: h Adam Gotsis My Georgia Tech guy are one of them?
- 24:36Speaker 1: Actually very nice. And then we're gonna go with the
- 24:39Speaker 1: white pants. We're gonna go h black over white. That's right,
- 24:48Speaker 1: you are close to those Oh careful, terrible the microphone
- 24:52Speaker 1: went away. It's somewhere down there. So come on, we
- 24:59Speaker 1: got going here, David Wolfe. Unbelievable, unbelievable. So I know
- 25:05Speaker 1: you're close to have multiple Georgia Tech guys. Is something
- 25:10Speaker 1: special for you, Jimmy, I'm sure. Yeah. We we actually
- 25:14Speaker 1: got three of them. We haven't had any for him
- 25:16Speaker 1: quite a while. And you know, I got more KNI
- 25:19Speaker 1: can handle right now, which is good. There's still a
- 25:22Speaker 1: few Georgia I have a final question for Jimmy, j P.
- 25:27Speaker 1: John and this is not I apologize. I will get
- 25:32Speaker 1: you a gift someday, Jimmy, but we're almost at the
- 25:36Speaker 1: end of the season. You've gotten a chance to know
- 25:39Speaker 1: a lot of new guys, a lot of rookies, I
- 25:41Speaker 1: won't ask you your least favorite rookie, but who's your
- 25:44Speaker 1: favorite rookie? Who's the guy? Or have you had a
- 25:47Speaker 1: chance to get to know guys with COVID? How does
- 25:49Speaker 1: that worked? I try not to get too close to
- 25:52Speaker 1: the guys with COVID, but um, that was get that one.
- 25:57Speaker 1: But everybody, Um, I mean he's such a good kid,
- 26:03Speaker 1: nice kid. Um quiet, you know, done done, never comes
- 26:08Speaker 1: back and ask for anything, which is usually pretty good
- 26:10Speaker 1: for equipment guys. Um, oh god, we're just breaking everywhere.
- 26:15Speaker 1: What is going on here? It's the end of the year.
- 26:23Speaker 1: But now there, I mean, honestly, we we've done a
- 26:25Speaker 1: really good job of with the with the rookies, getting
- 26:28Speaker 1: you know, high character guys. They're all super nice. Um.
- 26:31Speaker 1: I mean obviously, um you know my my tech guys,
- 26:34Speaker 1: the young guys. I kind of like them. We talk
- 26:36Speaker 1: a lot of football, even though Jackets hadn't had a
- 26:39Speaker 1: great year, but but now it's this has been a
- 26:42Speaker 1: really good class. Um you know, a lot, a lot
- 26:45Speaker 1: of super nice guys. And it kind of stinks with
- 26:47Speaker 1: some of it. We missed him during the offseason and
- 26:49Speaker 1: kind of really didn't get a chance to know. Um,
- 26:51Speaker 1: get to know him too well until all of a
- 26:53Speaker 1: sudden love. You know we're going it's the season, so
- 26:57Speaker 1: but hopefully we'll have a nice little off season this year. Yeah,

- 29:56Speaker 1: Soldier Field the game presented by t I A A
- 29:59Speaker 1: Bank this week. Time now for Big Game Jaguar. We
- 30:04Speaker 1: pick our player to have a big game this Sunday
- 30:06Speaker 1: and John, the floor is yours. Well, flash it up
- 30:11Speaker 1: there so I can see who I picked. JP. Oh yeah,
- 30:15Speaker 1: Tyler Effort and you know it and I joke but
- 30:19Speaker 1: it's hard because they're not playing very well and the
- 30:23Speaker 1: quarterback play is not at a high level, so it's
- 30:26Speaker 1: hard to pick who might have a big game. But
- 30:30Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffort at times this year has been a threat
- 30:33Speaker 1: at tight end. So if Glennan starts, which I'm leaning
- 30:39Speaker 1: that way, he knows how to use effort. Maybe this
- 30:43Speaker 1: is the week. I don't know who else to pick.
- 30:46Speaker 1: I can't pick either the quarterbacks. You can't pick lineman JP.
- 30:50Speaker 1: It's tough, but I'll go with effort being able to
- 30:53Speaker 1: maybe work the middle of the field and shock everybody,
- 30:56Speaker 1: but having a not that he's been playing poorly, but
- 30:59Speaker 1: having a mega active game at the tight end position.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Been a long time since his team has had that,
- 31:04Speaker 1: been a long long time. In fact, there you go,
- 31:07Speaker 1: I'm gonna go oddly enough. You know this. This team
- 31:10Speaker 1: give up forty points last week, thirty eight of those
- 31:13Speaker 1: by the Ravens offense. So I'm very cautiously going with
- 31:16Speaker 1: a defensive player, and it's Miles Jack, which is not
- 31:20Speaker 1: a bad pick week the week. In fact, I picked
- 31:22Speaker 1: him last week too, and you know, with two games left,
- 31:26Speaker 1: I'll probably pick him next week also. But Myles Jack
- 31:29Speaker 1: has that ability to make a big play for you
- 31:31Speaker 1: on defense, and it feels like this team right now
- 31:33Speaker 1: has just a lack of those happening. They've got to
- 31:36Speaker 1: get some takeaways, they've got to score on defense a
- 31:41Speaker 1: time or two most hopefully. But for me, as Miles Jack,
- 31:46Speaker 1: he has the ability to do that. He's had a
- 31:48Speaker 1: Pro Bowl caliber season. He did not get the recognition
- 31:51Speaker 1: for that because of the one and thirteen records, certainly,
- 31:54Speaker 1: but Myles Jack is my pick. If if they're going
- 31:57Speaker 1: to be in this game, he's got a a big
- 32:00Speaker 1: They've got to stop the run, and it starts with
- 32:04Speaker 1: the linebackers, at least in my opinion. There you go,
- 32:06Speaker 1: big game Jaguar in the books. Holiday plans, Johnny, what
- 32:10Speaker 1: do you got? Uh, yeah, we'll be I mean, I've
- 32:14Speaker 1: got one more stop before this is all over with JP.
- 32:17Speaker 1: I've got you. I've got Jaguars Drive time tomorrow with
- 32:20Speaker 1: Ashlyn and Bryant. So we've got one more. I know
- 32:22Speaker 1: you're hanging it up for the week, but it's uh,
- 32:25Speaker 1: we'll be here. I have my mother will be coming over,
- 32:30Speaker 1: hopefully Jake will be in town. Have a good old
- 32:33Speaker 1: fun Griswold family Christmas sounds pretty good. I haven't hung
- 32:38Speaker 1: it up yet. I've got two hits in Chicago tonight,
- 32:40Speaker 1: one on TV and one on radio, and then I'll
- 32:44Speaker 1: hang it up. And yes, but this is the last
- 32:46Speaker 1: Jaguar related activity. I'll have at least well the week
- 32:49Speaker 1: and just kind of hanging up after that here in town.
- 32:52Speaker 1: So eating a bunch of cookies and watching football. That's it,
- 32:55Speaker 1: just like every other day of the week. Um, John,
- 32:58Speaker 1: Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and the family,
- 33:01Speaker 1: and have a good one. Don Osier out of here
