0:01
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, June. This is Jaguars Happy Hour, and
0:10
Speaker 1: now a guy who would never undermine the integrity of
0:14
Speaker 1: a well smoked pork butt, j Pete Jack, welcome in
0:21
Speaker 1: its Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday afternoon. And a
0:25
Speaker 1: busy show ahead coming up Jaguars analyst Jeff Lockman in studio.
0:31
Speaker 1: As always, we'll hear from cornerbacks Shaquille Griffin with a
0:36
Speaker 1: new peanut pickoff promotion this year from Laray Boiled Peanuts.
0:41
Speaker 1: We'll hear from CBS Sports senior writer Pete Prisco. I'm
0:45
Speaker 1: sure he'll have some things to say about Bruce Smith's
0:48
Speaker 1: comments regarding Tony Basselli. That's coming up about four thirty today.
0:53
Speaker 1: We'll go around the National Football League. If we can
0:55
Speaker 1: get Pete off the phone. Uh. Jeff lockhaman is with
0:58
Speaker 1: us now. It's up man. Happy Thursday. Yeah, Happy Thursday.
1:03
Speaker 1: And it'll be quite some time before folks here from us.
1:07
Speaker 1: After today. We get a little bit of a break.
1:10
Speaker 1: After today. It goes to that what do we call
1:13
Speaker 1: that the zone, the dead zone zone, and it's gonna
1:17
Speaker 1: be it's not gonna be dead for us. We're gonna
1:19
Speaker 1: do all kinds of fun things. This is the time
1:22
Speaker 1: to do them coming up. Yeah, because once the season
1:24
Speaker 1: starts then we don't have a whole lot of time
1:26
Speaker 1: to do a whole lot of fun stuff other than
1:28
Speaker 1: football fund stuff. But a busy week and that and
1:32
Speaker 1: that the mini camp or what I guess you would
1:36
Speaker 1: call a mini camp occurred, and uh, sit down with
1:42
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. That was interesting and I thought, very very
1:47
Speaker 1: cool thing to do. And uh, and then Bruce Smith
1:52
Speaker 1: just shakes the earth in Jacksonville. Amazing. Right, we'll get
1:55
Speaker 1: into this in depth coming up, but uh, you know,
1:59
Speaker 1: just it just felt like we're a month and a
2:01
Speaker 1: half until the enshrinement. Out of nowhere it comes. Here
2:04
Speaker 1: comes Bruce Smith off the top rope. I didn't know
2:06
Speaker 1: he could even climb to the top rope anymore. Yeah. Yeah,
2:10
Speaker 1: I I thought that the the great approach or the
2:14
Speaker 1: great response is no response, because when when you want
2:17
Speaker 1: a waller in the mud, you don't stoop down to
2:19
Speaker 1: the level of waller and in the mud with somebody
2:22
Speaker 1: like that. And it's very clear that Bruce Smith is
2:25
Speaker 1: very salty about getting his ass kicked. I mean, I'm sorry,
2:29
Speaker 1: but that's the term that is a fact and he
2:32
Speaker 1: got his rare end kicked against the Jaguars in the
2:35
Speaker 1: playoffs in Buffalo. That's the way it is. Okay, so
2:40
Speaker 1: years ago, But there was some great responses too, because
2:44
Speaker 1: he posted this on Instagram right and and some of
2:48
Speaker 1: the best responses I have ever seen were written on
2:52
Speaker 1: his Instagram account. One of them was like brad Or
2:55
Speaker 1: said that, uh, Bruce, you are so mad. Why don't
2:58
Speaker 1: you get a cape and be supermad? There was another
3:01
Speaker 1: one I think which was the best, said, dang, Tony
3:06
Speaker 1: has been living rent free in your head for over
3:09
Speaker 1: twenty years apparently apparently, So I just I don't get it.
3:14
Speaker 1: And you know, Bruce, Bruce said some things that I
3:17
Speaker 1: thought were ridiculous, and I wanted to just take a
3:21
Speaker 1: couple excellent from what Bruce said. Yeah, and we'll get
3:25
Speaker 1: to the full part of this coming up a little
3:27
Speaker 1: later in the show. Yes, well, but I just want
3:28
Speaker 1: to touch on it now. Pick a couple of them out.
3:31
Speaker 1: He accuses a campaign to promote Tony into the Hall
3:36
Speaker 1: of focusing in on one performance and acts as if
3:41
Speaker 1: the campaign was run by Tony himself had nothing to
3:45
Speaker 1: do with it. Tony had outstanding games against great player
3:51
Speaker 1: after great player after great player, the first game that
3:53
Speaker 1: Tony ever started in his career. If you wanted to
3:57
Speaker 1: focus in on one game for a Hall of Fame campaign,
4:00
Speaker 1: and you can go to the very first game that
4:01
Speaker 1: he played against Sean Jones. Wear them out. I couldn't
4:04
Speaker 1: stay on the bench. I was watching the mayhem that
4:08
Speaker 1: Tony was unleashing on Sean Jones. It was ridiculous. So
4:14
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Bruce, because he says, I'm quite flattered to
4:18
Speaker 1: be considered the gold standard. Boy. Way to be humble, Bruce.
4:23
Speaker 1: You know you're a Hall of Famer, one of the
4:25
Speaker 1: greatest players ever. I mean, he might be. You don't
4:29
Speaker 1: need to say that you're the gold stand because you
4:34
Speaker 1: know what, Bruce, You're not the only gold standard out there.
4:37
Speaker 1: There's other guys in the Hall that are wearing yellow jackets.
4:39
Speaker 1: And you know what, many thought that you couldn't carry
4:42
Speaker 1: Reggie Weiss Jock. Okay, So take a little chill on
4:47
Speaker 1: your own importance. And then he follows this up later
4:50
Speaker 1: on and says, the Hall of Fame is an exclusive
4:53
Speaker 1: fraternity that follows a tacit code of conduct which foster's
4:56
Speaker 1: respect and brotherhood between its members. Well guess what by
5:03
Speaker 1: releasing this statement, you just violated that code of conduct.
5:08
Speaker 1: And then he follows it up with maintaining harmony and
5:10
Speaker 1: goodwill in the Hall of Famous paramount. Well, you call
5:15
Speaker 1: this harmony and goodwill by what you're saying about Tony
5:20
Speaker 1: Basselli going in the Hall of Fame and after the fact. Okay,
5:24
Speaker 1: if you had an opinion about Tony Boselli going in
5:27
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, have it before he goes in. Yeah, Like,
5:30
Speaker 1: the last six years has been a debate, right, Okay,
5:32
Speaker 1: that's that's the way it's worked. Now he's in and
5:36
Speaker 1: there's no debate anymore. It's over. He's in. Like what
5:39
Speaker 1: you had six seven years to do this? A couple
5:43
Speaker 1: more things here. Tony was a formidable opponent. No, Tony
5:48
Speaker 1: was not a formidable opponent. Tony was one of the
5:50
Speaker 1: best left tackles to ever play the game. Okay. Did
5:53
Speaker 1: he have a short career? Yes, Okay, So that point
5:56
Speaker 1: that you make, Okay, that's valid. Okay, he said, Um,
6:00
Speaker 1: I find it difficult to compare the totality of his
6:02
Speaker 1: body of work with those of the NFL's greatest left
6:05
Speaker 1: left tackles, Muonios and Ogden and Roof and Walter Jones,
6:09
Speaker 1: which they are tremendous players. But he said, during my
6:12
Speaker 1: nineteen years in the NFL, I went against several outstanding
6:15
Speaker 1: left tackles. Bruce Armstrong, Richmond Webb, Will Wolford all had
6:19
Speaker 1: stellar games against me. I'm here to tell you, Bruce,
6:22
Speaker 1: those guys couldn't carry Tony's jock. And I played against
6:26
Speaker 1: all those guys. Okay, they're not in the same category
6:29
Speaker 1: as a Tony Bassell and John Ogden and an Anthony
6:32
Speaker 1: Mounos or Walter Jones. I'm sorry, but anyway, I just
6:37
Speaker 1: had to say that to get the Well. It's very
6:39
Speaker 1: disappointed because it was totally unnecessary and and Tony's classy guy.
6:43
Speaker 1: He's not gonna respond publicly to it, but I'm sure
6:46
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco will and we'll hear from him coming up.
6:48
Speaker 1: At about four thirties, I texted BISSELLI when I when
6:51
Speaker 1: I saw I saw Bruce comments and I said, so,
6:57
Speaker 1: did you just like swinging the canton and happened to,
7:01
Speaker 1: you know, defecate on Bruce's bust at the hall or
7:04
Speaker 1: what did you do aggressive? Let's come on, I mean
7:09
Speaker 1: the kind of response that Bruce had I mean, are
7:11
Speaker 1: you kidding me? That's ridiculous, Bruce. So more on that
7:17
Speaker 1: coming up about four thirty today when Pete Prisco CBS
7:21
Speaker 1: Sports joins us and we'll get into that discussion a
7:24
Speaker 1: little bit more mandatory mini camp. The veterans were told, hey,
7:28
Speaker 1: stay away, you're done, most of them. A few guys
7:31
Speaker 1: stuck around coming off a little injury here there. We
7:35
Speaker 1: saw James Robinson out there doing some stuff on the
7:37
Speaker 1: side yesterday, Jamal Agnew all three days, Rudy Ford yesterday
7:41
Speaker 1: was out there La Visca Attle Bright, So that's a
7:45
Speaker 1: good thing. But mostly rookies were out there, and I
7:48
Speaker 1: mean each practice logs was less than an hour. I
7:50
Speaker 1: mean forty five minutes they were in and out, well
7:52
Speaker 1: maybe you know, maybe forty five minutes. And the newly
7:55
Speaker 1: signed defensive player um Ray was the last name he
8:00
Speaker 1: was out there. So I mean there was a mix
8:02
Speaker 1: of veterans and rookies and uh yeah, and it was good.
8:06
Speaker 1: It's good work, I mean, and here's the best part
8:09
Speaker 1: about that. For for guys that are young, guys that
8:13
Speaker 1: are maybe new to the team, or guys that maybe
8:15
Speaker 1: missed a lot of the offseason program because of of
8:18
Speaker 1: injury or for whatever reason that it was. This gives
8:22
Speaker 1: them an opportunity to catch up. And I don't mean
8:26
Speaker 1: hines catch up. I mean catch up with the terminology,
8:29
Speaker 1: catch up with the physical training aspect of the game,
8:33
Speaker 1: to catch up with building a relationship with your teammates,
8:37
Speaker 1: with your coaches. And so from that aspect, it was good.
8:40
Speaker 1: And I liked the thought process that that Doug Peterson
8:43
Speaker 1: had for this and that hey, look and I appreciate this.
8:47
Speaker 1: I really do from a from a players standpoint, having
8:49
Speaker 1: played the game for for a decade, and that the
8:53
Speaker 1: program that just completed prior to this week was all
8:58
Speaker 1: completely voluntary. Correct. The attendance was outstanding. Guys are committed,
9:05
Speaker 1: Guys are hard working. You had the extra minicamp because
9:09
Speaker 1: you have a new head coach, you have all of
9:12
Speaker 1: the O t A available days, and all of these
9:14
Speaker 1: guys came for all of it. So and I'm not
9:18
Speaker 1: saying you throw a bone to your players, but you
9:20
Speaker 1: reward them for the hard work. And so I appreciate
9:25
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. And I know Doug talked a lot and
9:28
Speaker 1: the off the record thing that he had the other day,
9:32
Speaker 1: and it wasn't really off the record. He said, Look,
9:34
Speaker 1: everything's on the record, but it was kind of called
9:36
Speaker 1: that to begin with, but he did maybe you didn't
9:39
Speaker 1: hear that's off but he did say that looked at
9:43
Speaker 1: this felt like this team needed to heal. And I
9:47
Speaker 1: thought that that's, uh, that's pretty strong words to say
9:51
Speaker 1: for a head coach, because I don't know if have
9:54
Speaker 1: you ever heard a head coach talk of those terms? Now?
9:58
Speaker 1: He said that a few times this offseason that, But
10:01
Speaker 1: I mean, have you ever heard anybody else to talk
10:03
Speaker 1: about anything? No, I mean not here, definitely not here.
10:07
Speaker 1: But have you ever heard of anybody talking about that ever?
10:10
Speaker 1: In football when it comes to a change, a change
10:15
Speaker 1: of the coach from the previous year, I don't remember
10:19
Speaker 1: that ever being set. I'm just trying to think of
10:21
Speaker 1: other instances that were like last year in other places,
10:25
Speaker 1: and I don't remember one like that in the NFL. No,
10:28
Speaker 1: there might have been a couple of college when similar,
10:31
Speaker 1: but it wasn't you know, it was a little different.
10:35
Speaker 1: And here's the crazy thing, JP, I mean, more stories
10:38
Speaker 1: could probably come out about last year. Yeah, I think
10:42
Speaker 1: that's part of the goal to the offseason program, right, Um,
10:45
Speaker 1: And we're gonna hear from Shaq Griffin coming up in
10:47
Speaker 1: just a few minutes. I'm curious his thoughts on this too.
10:50
Speaker 1: He's obviously was here last year and he's been around
10:52
Speaker 1: the league a few years now. Doug has talked about
10:56
Speaker 1: this offseason trying to build that trust back, and it
11:01
Speaker 1: felt like this was probably the culmination of that. This
11:04
Speaker 1: this offseason, into the off season program O T A
11:07
Speaker 1: S and then into this mini camp because once they
11:10
Speaker 1: come back in five weeks to training camp, time for
11:13
Speaker 1: that's over the building of this time to move forward,
11:16
Speaker 1: you're you're moving forward to twenty two and beyond. There
11:18
Speaker 1: should be no more questions about one or what happened
11:22
Speaker 1: last year or the changes or any of that stuff.
11:25
Speaker 1: Get that out of the way now, because I think
11:27
Speaker 1: once training camp hits, it's full speed ahead. It is,
11:29
Speaker 1: and and Doug I think was very specific about that.
11:33
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, look, you know, once we get into camp,
11:36
Speaker 1: we we need to put the pads on. We're gonna
11:39
Speaker 1: we're gonna grind, We're we're gonna be moving forward. We're
11:41
Speaker 1: not slowing down. And so from that aspect of it,
11:45
Speaker 1: where you're talking about is that you know now that
11:47
Speaker 1: that's behind them, and now it's all full speed ahead.
11:50
Speaker 1: That's why it's got to be because there's a lot
11:53
Speaker 1: to accomplish between the time that you will. Let me
11:57
Speaker 1: rephrase that, there's a lot to accomplish between Queen now
12:01
Speaker 1: and the first game that counts because it's not over, okay,
12:06
Speaker 1: just because you've completed your off season program and everybody's
12:10
Speaker 1: going in different directions. Now is the most critical time
12:13
Speaker 1: to where guys are tuning their bodies and getting it
12:16
Speaker 1: ready for the regular season. Mentally, it's time to get
12:19
Speaker 1: away and take a break, but you really never do.
12:22
Speaker 1: And I will tell you jp the the closer that
12:25
Speaker 1: you get to training camp as a player, the more
12:29
Speaker 1: you dream about football, the more restless you become. Because
12:34
Speaker 1: you know you're about to enter a grind that doesn't
12:36
Speaker 1: end for six months and it's incredibly demanding. And so
12:40
Speaker 1: you will have dreams about camp. You'll have dreams about
12:44
Speaker 1: the strain, you have dreams about getting hurt, You'll have
12:47
Speaker 1: dreams about success, and I mean your mind just starts
12:50
Speaker 1: to work over time when you start to get into July. Okay,
12:54
Speaker 1: in that training camp, bell is close to ringing it.
12:59
Speaker 1: It's a it's A. It's a it's just different, it
13:02
Speaker 1: really is. It's hard to sleep and it's hard to
13:04
Speaker 1: relax from a player standpoint, because once you come back,
13:09
Speaker 1: it's demanding in a lot of different ways physically and mentally.

14:48

14:51
Speaker 1: because I always want to go as a kid, so
14:53
Speaker 1: kind of taking this moment a little bit. But we
14:55

Speaker 1: to to stay in shape and everything. Well, yeah, I'll
15:23
Speaker 1: be here for the next couple of days, but might
15:24
Speaker 1: actually uh be moving around when it comes to training.
15:27
Speaker 1: I'm going back home for a few weeks back in St. Petersburgh,
15:30
Speaker 1: get a chance to trade with train with ray Shon Jenkins. Uh.
15:33
Speaker 1: My thing is, I want to train with the guys,
15:35
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying personally, they get a chance
15:37
Speaker 1: to continue to build that chemistry. Then um, in July,
15:40
Speaker 1: I'll be moving to Miami to get with Tyson Campbell
15:43
Speaker 1: and other guys that will meet up back in Miami
15:45
Speaker 1: get a chance of training together. So the whole thing is,
15:47
Speaker 1: you know, we're pushing each other all O T A
15:49
Speaker 1: s during the mini camp and we gotta keep that going,
15:52
Speaker 1: you know. So we're gonna put each other in the
15:54
Speaker 1: rest of the off season and come back ready for
15:55
Speaker 1: fall camp. You talked about that before, the importance of
15:58
Speaker 1: bonding as a group, and maybe not just the cornerbacks.
16:01
Speaker 1: If there's some other guys that want to get involved
16:03
Speaker 1: with that too. I'm sure you guys would open the doors. Yeah,
16:06
Speaker 1: no doubt. You know. Uh, My thing is I try
16:08
Speaker 1: to get somewhere, was space enough for anybody who might
16:10
Speaker 1: just put up for a couple of days and you
16:12
Speaker 1: can come stay with me. You know, it'll make it work.
16:14
Speaker 1: But anybody, you know, we try to get anybody on
16:17
Speaker 1: the team, anybody on the team out, just anybody on
16:21
Speaker 1: the team. You know, imagine again some of the offensive
16:23
Speaker 1: guys there, you know, against some of the d line
16:25
Speaker 1: or whatever it mate takes the we can work on drops,
16:28
Speaker 1: whatever it is. You know, I get a chance to
16:29
Speaker 1: continue to build that chemistry, you know, on both sides
16:31
Speaker 1: of the ball. Chat Griffin is with us. You know,
16:33
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk, and there's question I
16:36
Speaker 1: think has asked a lot because it's the first offseason
16:38
Speaker 1: program with a new coaching staff and everything and Doug
16:41
Speaker 1: Peterson and now that you're out of the building for
16:44
Speaker 1: the offseason, looking back on the last few months when
16:47
Speaker 1: the veterans were in with with Doug leading the way
16:49
Speaker 1: and a veteran coaching staff, how positive was that is
16:55
Speaker 1: that oversold? How positive an environment this has been the
16:58
Speaker 1: last couple of months or is that is it act? No,
17:00
Speaker 1: It's very accurate, and you know, some things you got
17:03
Speaker 1: to over emphasize, you know. Being a new coaches, it's
17:05
Speaker 1: a lot going on and try to bring the organization
17:08
Speaker 1: back to where we need to be and getting the
17:09
Speaker 1: players to believe in the message that he's given us,
17:12
Speaker 1: you know. And I feel like he handled it very
17:14
Speaker 1: well going to his offseason, you know, treating the guys
17:16
Speaker 1: you know, like the men that we are, you know,
17:19
Speaker 1: and letting us be exactly who we are in the
17:21
Speaker 1: field and let us contributing the way that we feel
17:23
Speaker 1: like can help the organization win. And he's figured that out,
17:26
Speaker 1: you know. So it's a very same time to get
17:28
Speaker 1: that chance to really be with the guys here, be
17:31
Speaker 1: what coach Doug here, you know, and starting to work
17:33
Speaker 1: with each other. And you know, we still have a
17:35
Speaker 1: lot left to do, a lot left to accomplished, and
17:37
Speaker 1: we all understand that, you know, and I feel like
17:39
Speaker 1: we truly all on the same page and that's what
17:41
Speaker 1: we needed. It feels like that was it was building
17:44
Speaker 1: up as this offseason went to get to the mandatory
17:47
Speaker 1: mini camp to earn that trust to the players who
17:50
Speaker 1: have been here, because once training camp comes along, we're
17:54
Speaker 1: not asking questions about last year anymore. It's about two
17:58
Speaker 1: and beyond. I think that was the goal. It feels
18:00
Speaker 1: that he reached that goal. The trust to the teams,
18:02
Speaker 1: they're most definitely you know, everything I thought process and
18:05
Speaker 1: everything is moving forward about this team, this coaching staff,
18:08
Speaker 1: this organization, and that's what you need. We shouldn't have to,
18:11
Speaker 1: you know, go back and I have to review what
18:13
Speaker 1: happened last year because it's a new team. It's a
18:15
Speaker 1: new start, and everybody believing that and we're gonna make
18:18
Speaker 1: something different. We're gonna make something better out of what
18:20
Speaker 1: we have now. So you know, everybody's buying in and
18:23
Speaker 1: that's the great part. He definitely has our trust. You know,
18:25
Speaker 1: we're ready to run through a brit wall for Duck.
18:27
Speaker 1: So what we're ready for? Cornerbacks? Shaquille Griffins with us
18:30
Speaker 1: here on Jaguars Happy Hour. What do you like about
18:33
Speaker 1: the defense? Oh, the defense is definitely gonna be ruthless.
18:37
Speaker 1: I can tell you that. Ruthless and fast, you know, yeah,
18:41
Speaker 1: definitely definitely fast. You know, we've got some people that
18:43
Speaker 1: can move around in different places. We can switch it up.
18:46
Speaker 1: But the thing is, we have a team full of
18:48
Speaker 1: confident guys. We don't care who we have to face,
18:50
Speaker 1: who we're going to be playing against. We're going to win,
18:54
Speaker 1: you know. And that's the process going into each day,
18:57
Speaker 1: each practice. And you know, now I feel like we
18:59
Speaker 1: have defense where we want everybody to succeed. You know,
19:03
Speaker 1: we're not just competing. We're trying to create a new
19:06
Speaker 1: you know, situation when it comes to having everybody ready
19:09
Speaker 1: for any scenario, you know, and that's the best part
19:11
Speaker 1: because everybody want to see everybody be better. And I
19:13
Speaker 1: love that about our defense. And take the ball away,
19:16
Speaker 1: of course, football, take it and keep it, do it
19:19
Speaker 1: over and over and over, of course, you know. And
19:21
Speaker 1: now we have our own little in competition Who're gonna
19:23
Speaker 1: have the most picks? And I'm already calling it, of course,
19:25
Speaker 1: because I've been working my butt off to make sure
19:27
Speaker 1: I do. But you know, everybody wants a piece of it,
19:30
Speaker 1: and that I love that. You know, we're over emphasized
19:33
Speaker 1: getting the ball, and we're getting the ball in practice.
19:35
Speaker 1: You know that who it starts and we're making it
19:36
Speaker 1: happen so that to continue to build on it. And
19:38
Speaker 1: they gotta make it work. It's Jaguars Happy, our attention.
19:41
Speaker 1: Nextl AM and Jaguars dot Com JP shatterck with Jaguars
19:44
Speaker 1: cornerback Shaquille Griffin. To that point, The Jaguars Foundation and
19:48
Speaker 1: Larrey Peanuts are partnering on an interception promotion this season,
19:52
Speaker 1: Shack PIF and Freach Jaguars Interception Laray will provide a
19:57
Speaker 1: donation towards youth football initiatives, matched by the Jaguars Foundation.
20:02
Speaker 1: You said you're motivated already to get those picks with
20:05
Speaker 1: with this peanut pickoff promotion. You're super motivated now we
20:09
Speaker 1: got we got to, you know, and I'm super motivated
20:12
Speaker 1: to continue to you know, to give back and give
20:14
Speaker 1: the others. So I gotta make these plays for myself
20:17
Speaker 1: and for everybody else who's watching, you know. So we
20:19
Speaker 1: can't go ahead and get them done nations going, but
20:22
Speaker 1: we're definitely gonna make sure we get that to happen.
20:25
Speaker 1: You're a vegan, right vegan friendly, you're a full vegan,
20:29
Speaker 1: full vegan, so boiled peanuts are right up your ally. Then, yeah,
20:33
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of them. That's that's perfect for that.
20:37
Speaker 1: But when you make a lifestyle choice like that, you
20:40
Speaker 1: have to kind of obviously make some decisions about what
20:43
Speaker 1: you're putting your body. And then you have the option
20:46
Speaker 1: of boiled peanuts from lay. You go for that almost
20:49
Speaker 1: every time, and of course it's not easy being vegan,
20:51
Speaker 1: so to have that choice, to have more options, I
20:54
Speaker 1: definitely need it for any vegan need deep boiled peanuts.
20:57
Speaker 1: And they're they're accessible, easily accessible. Like you said, it
21:00
Speaker 1: can be tough to find some things. We can find
21:02
Speaker 1: these anyway. Yeah, and if you they run out the store,
21:06
Speaker 1: we'll make it happen. Has some sources I think that
21:11
Speaker 1: for peanuts they'll be on sale of course, and old
21:14
Speaker 1: Jaguars two Jaguars preseason and regular season home games at T.
21:20
Speaker 1: I A. A. Bank Field and listen for the peanuts
21:22
Speaker 1: pick off promotion throughout the two season. Any predictions on
21:27
Speaker 1: how many picks the Jaguars will have this year on defense?
21:30
Speaker 1: When my goal is to lead the league, So whatever
21:32
Speaker 1: that number is, you gotta be a lot coup. We
21:35
Speaker 1: gotta lead the league and we want to be number
21:36
Speaker 1: one and that's our goal. So I can't put a
21:39
Speaker 1: number on it. It's gonna be a lot of m sessions,
21:41
Speaker 1: a lot maybe if you ended the end zone. Also, yes,
21:44
Speaker 1: I definitely need a couple. I don't want to say
21:46
Speaker 1: want I need a couple in the ends in the
21:48
Speaker 1: end zone. And I remember when you first got here, Shack,
21:51
Speaker 1: you said, Hey, the first pick six I have, I'm
21:53
Speaker 1: finding the first of my jersey and I'm giving them
21:56
Speaker 1: to that still stands still. Once I see that twenty six,
22:00
Speaker 1: you get the first one. You deserve it. I like that, Jack,
22:04
Speaker 1: Thanks for the time, good luck with the promotion this
22:07
Speaker 1: year the Peanut Pickoff presented by Larray World Peanuts. Shack
22:11
Speaker 1: will talk to you and training Camp. We're back with
22:14
Speaker 1: more in a moment. Jeff Lockman will return. After this
22:17
Speaker 1: is Jaguars Happy Hour and the Jaguars Digital Network. But
22:21
Speaker 1: the checks in Ville, Jaguars, if you face this man
22:30
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, you knew he was destined for canton.
22:35
Speaker 1: One of the most dominant tackles of the nineteen nineties
22:38
Speaker 1: and the first ever Jacksonville Jaguar, Tony Vasselly, welcome back.
22:49
Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour. That was Bruce Smith introducing Tony
22:54
Speaker 1: Biselli into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, or the
22:58
Speaker 1: announcement that he had been elected on NFL Honors Welcome back,
23:01
Speaker 1: it's Jaguar's Happy our j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logaman. Well,
23:05
Speaker 1: that was, of course a few months ago, right around
23:09
Speaker 1: Super Bowl time. Then there was earlier this week on
23:11
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith's Instagram page, a long string of issues with Vasselli,
23:15
Speaker 1: apparently in part saying a large part of the campaign
23:19
Speaker 1: to promote Tony Basselli into the Hall of Fame seems
23:21
Speaker 1: to hyper focus on a single successful performance he had
23:24
Speaker 1: against me in a playoff game. He later went on
23:29
Speaker 1: to say, I and other Hall of Famers believe it
23:31
Speaker 1: sets a horrible president to negatively zero in on a
23:34
Speaker 1: standing member of the Hall's play in order to validate
23:37
Speaker 1: the candidacy of a nominee. He said, much more, we'll
23:41
Speaker 1: get to it coming up. Pete Prisco of CBS Sports
23:45
Speaker 1: might have a few things to say about this as well.
23:47
Speaker 1: Good afternoon toil your Pete. What's up? What's up? JP?
23:51
Speaker 1: You know, look, it's it's nice to see Bruce saying
23:54
Speaker 1: those things because we've gotta knocked the sell you down
23:56
Speaker 1: a few pegs before the theomony, don't we I'm getting
24:01
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, JP, A we ever talked about
24:03
Speaker 1: is how giant his head is. Well, that thing is
24:05
Speaker 1: going to be out of control in the next two months,
24:07
Speaker 1: So I mean, you know, bringing him down a little
24:09
Speaker 1: bit is not a bad thing, right. That was not
24:12
Speaker 1: what I was expecting to hear. But yeah, I guess kidding.
24:16
Speaker 1: And I just don't understand where Bruce is coming from.
24:20
Speaker 1: And why why now, why all of a sudden do
24:23
Speaker 1: you pop that out there and say that, and and
24:26
Speaker 1: it just isn't a good look for him. And this
24:28
Speaker 1: is an exclusive club, and welcome to the club everybody.
24:31
Speaker 1: You know, by the way, I'm gonna take a shot
24:32
Speaker 1: at the guy who's now coming into the club. It
24:35
Speaker 1: just Bruce Smith looks terrible, uh, with way he handled
24:39
Speaker 1: this thing. And I think that's getting a lot of pushback,
24:42
Speaker 1: and he's getting a lot of pushback, which is the
24:44
Speaker 1: way it should see, Pete. And then the other thing
24:46
Speaker 1: I think that's disappointing is that he makes a statement.
24:50
Speaker 1: But then in that statement he uses the line and
24:53
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read this because I think this is important.
24:56
Speaker 1: He says, um I and other Hall of Famers. He
25:02
Speaker 1: uses that as if there's other Hall of Famers that
25:05
Speaker 1: believe the same as him. That's I mean, that's that's
25:09
Speaker 1: not okay to say, well, you know, I got some
25:12
Speaker 1: other guys that are in the Hall of Fames that
25:13
Speaker 1: don't appreciate what's happening here. Don't do that because of me.
25:18
Speaker 1: Names Bruce, Well, you don't name names, because you know what,
25:21
Speaker 1: let them attach their own thoughts to their own name.
25:25
Speaker 1: You don't just drag a couple more guys in anonymously
25:30
Speaker 1: to help make your point. I mean, I just think
25:32
Speaker 1: that that was just that was just chicken, you know what.
25:36
Speaker 1: You know who one of those guys is. And and
25:38
Speaker 1: I've because I've actually talked to him over the years
25:40
Speaker 1: and I've argued with them, and it's one of those
25:42
Speaker 1: guys that never thought Tony was that good. Was John Randall.
25:46
Speaker 1: And the reason being, you remember the game up there, Love,
25:50
Speaker 1: when you were on the team that year, right, that
25:52
Speaker 1: was the year Jonathan Quinn? Were you You were still there?
25:54
Speaker 1: Weren't you? What year was that when Jonathan Quinn had
25:58
Speaker 1: to play quarterback at Minnesota on a Monday? Maybe you were,
26:00
Speaker 1: maybe you weren't on the team. That don't know, but
26:03
Speaker 1: but it was a nobody everything. Johnathan Quinn was the
26:06
Speaker 1: third team quarterback and he had to start the game.
26:08
Speaker 1: And the Vikings were one of the better teams in
26:10
Speaker 1: the league that year, and they went up there and
26:11
Speaker 1: got ambushed, and Tony had a bad game, like everybody did.
26:14
Speaker 1: And Tony will be the first admit he says it
26:16
Speaker 1: now to this day. I didn't play well against Randall.
26:19
Speaker 1: And John Randall will sit there and say Tony wasn't
26:22
Speaker 1: a good player. And I go, John, you can't say
26:23
Speaker 1: that off of one game. Give me a break. I mean,
26:25
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. And and so that's probably the other guy
26:28
Speaker 1: that Bruce Smith's talking about. But never let John Randall
26:31
Speaker 1: speak his mind. I mean, don't don't write, I don't
26:34
Speaker 1: say that. I just don't understand what was the reasoning
26:37
Speaker 1: for it. It's not just one game. By the way,
26:40
Speaker 1: he played him again and handled him in the next
26:42
Speaker 1: time they played too. Remember that. People don't realize that
26:44
Speaker 1: he dominated him again as the second time he played him.
26:47
Speaker 1: So I just I think it's a bad look for
26:48
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith. It's a really bad look. And Pete, when
26:51
Speaker 1: you look at the comments on Bruce's Instagram page, I
26:54
Speaker 1: thought that the people did a great job responded some
26:57
Speaker 1: of Bruce's comments and some of the great And I
27:01
Speaker 1: said this earlier because I had I had to get
27:03
Speaker 1: it off my chest the very first segment of our
27:05
Speaker 1: show here and I said, this was the best one.
27:08
Speaker 1: And the line was that Tony Bassally is living in
27:11
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith's head for over twenty years, Rent Free. That's
27:16
Speaker 1: the truth. It is true. And and I'll be honest
27:20
Speaker 1: with you. You know, over the years, I've tried to
27:22
Speaker 1: get stuff out of him to help Tony's cause, and
27:26
Speaker 1: he would never do it. He would never do it,
27:29
Speaker 1: never would and he never remember he never shook his
27:31
Speaker 1: hand after the game either. I mean, he just got
27:33
Speaker 1: a fuse and then ran for the high hill. Well,
27:35
Speaker 1: I mean I don't have a problem with that though.
27:37
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's a lot of guys that haven't
27:39
Speaker 1: shaken hands after our game because you know, there's anger
27:42
Speaker 1: or disappointment everything else. But yeah, but okay, that's still
27:46
Speaker 1: that go go shake a hand. I mean, okay, he
27:49
Speaker 1: didn't shake his hand, but then, but then this is
27:51
Speaker 1: going on for you know, fifteen years. He never wanted
27:54
Speaker 1: to say anything. Every time I did. You know, I
27:56
Speaker 1: go to Vick Caruccio. I know, years I go Vick.
27:58
Speaker 1: You know, bout Smith. Can you get him say something
28:00
Speaker 1: about Tony so we could put in the packet for
28:02
Speaker 1: the Hall same thing, and he would never do it. Yeah,
28:05
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, it's just. And by the way,
28:08
Speaker 1: I told Tony the other day, Tony, all he had
28:10
Speaker 1: to do is respond to just say three word. Watch
28:13
Speaker 1: the tape. All anybody has to do is watch the tape.
28:16
Speaker 1: He abuse the guy. Pete Briscoe, CBS Sports senior writer,
28:20
Speaker 1: is with us. Are a couple more quotes will get
28:22
Speaker 1: to if you're watching on Jaguars dot com. The Hall
28:25
Speaker 1: of Fame is an exclusive fraternity that follows a Tacit
28:28
Speaker 1: code of conduct, which foster's respect and brotherhood between its members.
28:33
Speaker 1: He later went on to say, resorting to underhanded tactics
28:36
Speaker 1: like targeting a Hall of Famer and hyping a one
28:38
Speaker 1: game matchup to bolster nominees Merit, as some of Tony's
28:41
Speaker 1: supporters have done, undermines the integrity of the Hall's election process.
28:45
Speaker 1: There's plenty more than that. That's all we'll get to here.
28:48
Speaker 1: But Pete, what happened to the respect and brotherhood and
28:51
Speaker 1: the Tacit code of conduct? Yeah, and that's the most
28:55
Speaker 1: amazing thing. About that because person guys in the Hall
28:58
Speaker 1: of Fame that didn't get along, they never got along,
29:01
Speaker 1: and yet when they get into the Hall of Fame
29:03
Speaker 1: together their their brotherhood. It's a brotherhood. You put the
29:05
Speaker 1: jacket on your part of the brotherhood, you sign your
29:07
Speaker 1: name h O F. You make a ton of money.
29:10
Speaker 1: But you know, brag every brag on everybody, boast them
29:12
Speaker 1: all up, boost them all up. And what happened. He's
29:15
Speaker 1: not even in yet and he's taking jobs at I
29:18
Speaker 1: just don't get it. Just it doesn't make any sense.
29:20
Speaker 1: And I think they have talked and I think they'll
29:23
Speaker 1: fix it, but that was just a bad look for Bruce.
29:26
Speaker 1: I would have a hard time talking with Bruce if
29:29
Speaker 1: I'm Tony, and I may talk and make it look
29:32
Speaker 1: good on face value, but I mean if I'm Tony, well,
29:37
Speaker 1: now you know what he really You're never gonna forget that.
29:39
Speaker 1: You don't forget that, just like you don't forget how
29:42
Speaker 1: you dominated them. You don't. There's some things forgotten. You
29:48
Speaker 1: know what Tony should have said long he should have said,
29:50
Speaker 1: you know what, Bruce, you you were the defensive player
29:52
Speaker 1: that year, that year and you're about number four on
29:55
Speaker 1: my list the guys if I had to rank them
29:56
Speaker 1: in terms of gave me, gave me the most trouble,
29:59
Speaker 1: because what Mike McCrary was number one? Absolutely Tony said
30:03
Speaker 1: that for years. Yeah, so I don't know, I just
30:07
Speaker 1: it's just it's weird. And then anybody says, oh, it
30:10
Speaker 1: was one game. Well, he did dominate him again at
30:11
Speaker 1: the second time he played him, by the way, just
30:14
Speaker 1: that's why I was. That was the next year. And
30:16
Speaker 1: Bruce thinking that that he's the only guy that Tony dominated.
30:20
Speaker 1: I mean, Pete, you remember the very first game that
30:22
Speaker 1: Tony played, and you remember it was against the Green
30:24
Speaker 1: Bay Packers and Sean he crushed him, crushed him. Jason
30:29
Speaker 1: Taylor one dominated. The best one is that Derrick Thomas
30:33
Speaker 1: one though, when Derrick Thomas I think had seven sacks
30:36
Speaker 1: that the week before he played you guys, and and
30:39
Speaker 1: and Phil Simms always tells this story. And Simms was
30:42
Speaker 1: at the pre production meeting and pre you know, he says, hey, Tom,
30:46
Speaker 1: how are you gonna handle Derrick Thomas? And he goes,
30:48
Speaker 1: my guy, and he stoned them. He didn't near him,
30:51
Speaker 1: dominated him. And so yeah, he dominated a bunch of
30:54
Speaker 1: really good players. And and he looked you practice against
30:58
Speaker 1: him every day great? I know it was that we've
31:02
Speaker 1: I've never have been I've never I've been around somebody
31:07
Speaker 1: that out of the gate gave me fits as a veteran. Never,
31:11
Speaker 1: there's never, there's never been a rookie that I went
31:13
Speaker 1: against it. I was like, SEEZ you kidding me? Hi,
31:16
Speaker 1: I didn't have an answer. The only one that I
31:18
Speaker 1: think that I would even compare to Tony was John Ogden, Like,
31:23
Speaker 1: right out of the gate, he was great long. I mean,
31:26
Speaker 1: obviously he was playing guard that very first time, but
31:29
Speaker 1: then the first time that he played a tackle one
31:30
Speaker 1: against him and it was one of those things where
31:32
Speaker 1: you just you didn't know what was gonna work. And
31:35
Speaker 1: with Tony it was the same way in practice. Peter's like, God,
31:37
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. You know, you didn't
31:40
Speaker 1: you didn't have anything that you felt good about that
31:42
Speaker 1: you could beat him with. And then the intensity that
31:45
Speaker 1: he played with in the finish that he played with
31:47
Speaker 1: was so far above And it's so disappointed that Bruce
31:51
Speaker 1: would mention a Will Woolford or a Richmond Webb or
31:53
Speaker 1: a Bruce Armstrong along the same lines of BASSELLI. I
31:58
Speaker 1: mean Pete. You watched those guys. I played against those guys.
32:01
Speaker 1: That's not the same category. No, they're not that Tony's
32:05
Speaker 1: in the category was Ogden and Walter Jones and Anthony
32:08
Speaker 1: and Junio's and and the great you know, he's better
32:12
Speaker 1: than pay he was better than Pace and Pace, he's
32:14
Speaker 1: better than Willie rof and they both went in before him.
32:16
Speaker 1: Even the category the elitied lead the other thing to like, oh,
32:20
Speaker 1: he left handed quarterback wasn't protecting the backside? Well, Anthony
32:23
Speaker 1: Unio is blocked for boomers science and he didn't protect
32:26
Speaker 1: the backside either. I mean, you know, it's ridiculous. And
32:29
Speaker 1: by the way, the blocking schemes were entirely different back then.
32:32
Speaker 1: Those guys were man up one on one situations where
32:36
Speaker 1: they were in past protecting. They didn't get a lot
32:38
Speaker 1: of help. But including in that playoff game. There wasn't
32:41
Speaker 1: a lot of help for Tony in that playoff game.
32:43
Speaker 1: Entirely give balls out now too. It wasn't seven step
32:46
Speaker 1: drops like it is back and they didn't give give
32:48
Speaker 1: Tony any help. I mean, and whether you had a
32:51
Speaker 1: left handed quarterback or not, you were facing the most
32:53
Speaker 1: athletic pass rusher of every team. Let's say it's still
32:56
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith lining up against you on that side, then Bruce,
32:59
Speaker 1: why don't you on the other side, Bruce, you know
33:00
Speaker 1: it was Bruce is saying that maybe that if Tony
33:03
Speaker 1: had gone against Phil Hanson, maybe it would have been
33:06
Speaker 1: tougher for Mark Burnell on the other side. By the way,
33:10
Speaker 1: he did get a hit. I think he got a
33:11
Speaker 1: half sacked the lext time they played, and I went
33:14
Speaker 1: back and actually rewatched that game. He got it on
33:17
Speaker 1: the guard. He slanted inside on the garden. The guard
33:19
Speaker 1: didn't put a block up, so he didn't get it
33:21
Speaker 1: on Tony either. That's pete. It's just a shame that.
33:24
Speaker 1: I mean, Look, Bruce Smith is a great player, great player,
33:28
Speaker 1: I mean arguably one of the top ten defensive players
33:32
Speaker 1: ever to play the game, with longevity, performance to height,
33:36
Speaker 1: the height of his level of playing, and to do
33:39
Speaker 1: this it's just a bad look. It's a bad look,
33:43
Speaker 1: and I think it it causes some concern. And in
33:47
Speaker 1: my eyes, that is he okay, Is Bruce okay? When
33:52
Speaker 1: I say that, yeah, I mean because you know what,
33:55
Speaker 1: this is not something that happens every day. Coming from
33:59
Speaker 1: a Hall of fame, his mouth. Is he okay? Because
34:02
Speaker 1: this isn't something that somebody that's okay would say. And
34:07
Speaker 1: what what was the impetus for it? Did somebody ask
34:10
Speaker 1: him about it? Or he just put it on his Instagram?
34:12
Speaker 1: Now he put it on his Instagram. Mean it's it's
34:14
Speaker 1: this is this is totally prepared. I mean, reviewed multiple
34:18
Speaker 1: pages on Instagram. Pete. This isn't something that's a knee
34:20
Speaker 1: jerk reaction to anything. This is something that he thought
34:23
Speaker 1: out or somebody helped him create or or what I mean.
34:26
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I can tell you this man
34:28
Speaker 1: he saw he's salty, salty about that, performed doubt about that.
34:34
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco, CBS Sports Senior writer with us, Well, we
34:36
Speaker 1: have you, Pete, last couple of minutes with you here.
34:38
Speaker 1: What is your We haven't seen you around here in
34:40
Speaker 1: a few minutes. So what's the outside perception of what
34:44
Speaker 1: the Jags have done this offseason so far? By the way,
34:48
Speaker 1: I was going to come at one point for minicamp
34:51
Speaker 1: work during the t A S, but there was a
34:53
Speaker 1: little glitch in the plan and I'll tell you about
34:55
Speaker 1: it at a different time. Um, Let's say, uh I,
35:00
Speaker 1: what did they say hello to the quarterback, and it
35:02
Speaker 1: might not have been a possibility to say that, but
35:05
Speaker 1: um so anyway, so uh yeah, I I look, I'm
35:09
Speaker 1: excited about watching this team next year. I'm a big
35:11
Speaker 1: believer in the quarterback. I think what we saw against
35:13
Speaker 1: in he was just a precursor what's gonna happen. He's
35:16
Speaker 1: gonna be a big time player and I think the
35:19
Speaker 1: improvement on the offensive line will help him. You know,
35:21
Speaker 1: I think Kirk is gonna be much better than people
35:23
Speaker 1: give him credit for. Everybody pings the contract. Who cares
35:27
Speaker 1: guys get paid, and he's gonna be a seventy five
35:30
Speaker 1: catch guy for them. And Sean Jefferson, I've known him
35:32
Speaker 1: for years. He was the wide receivers coach in Arizona.
35:35
Speaker 1: He raves about the kid. He said he owned the room.
35:38
Speaker 1: Think about that. Hopkins was in the room and it
35:39
Speaker 1: was Kirk who owned it, and that tells you a
35:42
Speaker 1: lot about Christian Kirk. So I and I think defensively
35:44
Speaker 1: they're gonna be really good. I mean, I don't know
35:47
Speaker 1: if they'll be great rush in the past or next year.
35:49
Speaker 1: It might have you know, it depends on what Walker
35:52
Speaker 1: is and they're gonna play him standing up and he's
35:53
Speaker 1: gonna play a rush linebacker, which he hasn't done much of,
35:56
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have that sudden issue like usually in
35:59
Speaker 1: that position. A going to be an adjustment for him.
36:01
Speaker 1: But I think defensively, they have talent, so they're gonna
36:04
Speaker 1: be better. How much better to be determined? Hey, Pete,
36:07
Speaker 1: just one more question here. One of the things that
36:11
Speaker 1: we obviously love here, me and JP and and people
36:14
Speaker 1: that have been around this team for the last couple
36:17
Speaker 1: of years has been the change in the coaching staff,
36:21
Speaker 1: obviously and the job that Doug Peterson has done with
36:25
Speaker 1: his coaching staff. I mean I'm talking quality and one
36:29
Speaker 1: guy that I want to point to in particular, because
36:32
Speaker 1: the more I see, the more I like his defensive
36:35
Speaker 1: coordinator might called Well. I love how he handles himself.
36:39
Speaker 1: I love how he answers questions. I mean there's just
36:43
Speaker 1: sometimes you just get a feel for a guy, and
36:46
Speaker 1: that the way that he answers questions. You sit there
36:49
Speaker 1: and you go, he's a guy that's gonna be able
36:52
Speaker 1: to have a really good pulse on his room. What
36:55
Speaker 1: do you think of might call Well. I love him.
36:58
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a star in the
37:00
Speaker 1: profession and heard that for a long time from guys
37:03
Speaker 1: in this league and being over and I go to
37:05
Speaker 1: Tampa a lot, and I've known those coaches over there
37:08
Speaker 1: for a while. They raved about him, and you know, rightfully,
37:11
Speaker 1: so he gets it. He's played in the league. He
37:14
Speaker 1: understands what it takes. But he's smart. He's gonna be aggressive,
37:17
Speaker 1: and I love that. I love the idea that now
37:19
Speaker 1: I do want to see how those corners play in
37:21
Speaker 1: that system, because you remember, in that system, you play
37:23
Speaker 1: a lot of man and when you look at the
37:26
Speaker 1: at the you know, Jaguars corners, you wouldn't ideally say
37:29
Speaker 1: they're all man cover corners. If he particularly, Campbell played
37:32
Speaker 1: much better when he didn't play as much BAND last year. No,
37:34
Speaker 1: I think he can do it. So it'll be an adjustment,
37:37
Speaker 1: but I'm bullish on my call. But I think he's
37:39
Speaker 1: gonna be a head coach in the league. And I
37:40
Speaker 1: think they have themselves a really good, bright defensive mind.
37:44
Speaker 1: I think the staff is good and it's the pros
37:47
Speaker 1: pro staff. I mean, it's it's an NFL staff, and
37:50
Speaker 1: I think Doug. It starts with Doug. Doug is a pro.
37:53
Speaker 1: He gets it. He played in the league. He understands
37:55
Speaker 1: what it takes. I'm gonna get around and call Mr
37:57
Speaker 1: Softie for giving him the rest of mini camp off.
37:59
Speaker 1: But I mean, doesn't that I think he's done a
38:01
Speaker 1: great job. Pete. You wouldn't let anybody slide on that one. No,
38:07
Speaker 1: of course not. By the way, before you go, JP,
38:10
Speaker 1: you'll appreciate this. And I know Logs well too. I
38:13
Speaker 1: was leaving for from the draft in Vegas and I
38:16
Speaker 1: get to have My flight was the late twenty four hours.
38:18
Speaker 1: It was red eye. Finally get there. I'm sitting there
38:21
Speaker 1: and I see the big giant standing over at the
38:24
Speaker 1: Mrs Fields Cooks. Wasn't Mrs Field's cookie thing getting about
38:28
Speaker 1: twelve a bucket of cookies or something? I know, jeezus,
38:31
Speaker 1: the Sellen you gotta get shape for the wall same ceremony.
38:34
Speaker 1: What the hell are you doing? I knew you were gonna.
38:36
Speaker 1: I knew that that was where you were going on
38:38
Speaker 1: that I just for some reason I knew it was
38:40
Speaker 1: the Sally at the cookie stand. Of course, you know it, right.
38:43
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't like Jeff. You know, when you
38:46
Speaker 1: want to have a cookie to get the taste out,
38:48
Speaker 1: you know, you wanna have something sweet after meal or
38:50
Speaker 1: something he had like a I mean it had to
38:53
Speaker 1: be like ten of them, twelve of them in there
38:55
Speaker 1: of course, unbelievable heat. We will see you in training camp.
39:02
Speaker 1: Enjoy your summer, and if we don't see you before,
39:05
Speaker 1: you'll see me in camp before. Can't. So that's one
39:07
Speaker 1: of my first stops. I'm the come to Jacksonville because
39:09
Speaker 1: they start early, and then I will be in Canton
39:11
Speaker 1: for a couple of days as well. Thanks for the time, Pete.
39:14
Speaker 1: All right, guys, take care. CBS Sports Senior writer Pete
39:17
Speaker 1: Briscoe with us. We're back in a moment. We'll take
39:22
Speaker 1: a live look at the construction of the Football Performance Center,
39:24
Speaker 1: now the Miller Electric Center outside of the Bank, and
39:28
Speaker 1: it's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. Miller
39:45
Speaker 1: Electric has been doing business in Jacksonville for nearly a century.
39:50
Speaker 1: Your belief in what's possible for the entirety of the
39:54
Speaker 1: community is appreciated and is inspirational. Your support will undoubt
40:02
Speaker 1: undoubtedly make a major impact on our football team and that,
40:09
Speaker 1: by extension, will make a positive difference throughout Duval. So
40:16
Speaker 1: to Henry Brown and everyone at Miller Electric. Thank you.
40:22
Speaker 1: That is Jaguars owners shod Con Monday. The announcement of
40:26
Speaker 1: the Miller Electric Center. The naming right steel announced Monday
40:31
Speaker 1: in a press conference. Just outside the construction footprint Welcome
40:35
Speaker 1: back to It's Jaguars Happy Hour j P. Shadrick with
40:38
Speaker 1: Jeff Flagman and a look outside. If you're watching on
40:42
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com or Jack's social media, a live look
40:46
Speaker 1: at the construction. There is steel going up, continues to
40:50
Speaker 1: mean changes by the hour. Really logs us to see
40:54
Speaker 1: this thing continue to grow. They keep pouring some concrete
40:57
Speaker 1: they're doing. The walls have been there for a little while.
41:00
Speaker 1: Some of the walls, Uh, the elevator shafts, the stairwells
41:03
Speaker 1: are there. The big concrete. It's taller than I thought
41:06
Speaker 1: it was going to be. I'll be honest with you, Yeah,
41:08
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I wasn't kind of expecting that
41:11
Speaker 1: to have that kind of profile going up. But it
41:14
Speaker 1: looks fantastic. It's gonna be an amazing facility. And the
41:18
Speaker 1: great thing is is that they still have room to grow,
41:21
Speaker 1: you know, because there's quite a bit of land that's
41:23
Speaker 1: still around that and parking lots that at some point. Look,
41:26
Speaker 1: if you want to do even expand it even further,
41:28
Speaker 1: that you could do that. The pace that they're working
41:31
Speaker 1: at is unbelievable. I mean, there is I don't know exactly.
41:36
Speaker 1: I mean, they might be going however many days or
41:39
Speaker 1: ever how many hours a day, but sometimes it seems
41:42
Speaker 1: like that they just don't quit. It does, right, I mean,
41:45
Speaker 1: And it was nice to see at that event on Monday,
41:47
Speaker 1: the construction workers on site took the lunch break. They
41:51
Speaker 1: had the lunch under the tent right there. That which
41:54
Speaker 1: is pretty cool. Good to hang out with some of
41:57
Speaker 1: those people on Monday. It's in your agree it. Miller
42:01
Speaker 1: has been in Jacksonville since ninety eight, now over three
42:03
Speaker 1: thousand employees in a nationwide company based in Jacksonville. Jack's
42:07
Speaker 1: president Mark Lamping was on the days. Mayor Lenny Curry,
42:11
Speaker 1: Henry Brown, the Miller's CEO, council President Sam Newby, Trent Bulky,
42:15
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson part of the press conference as well,
42:17
Speaker 1: and then Mark Lamping joined the group on Jack's Drive
42:20
Speaker 1: Time earlier this week on Tuesday, discussing the construction progress.
42:25
Speaker 1: The progress is visible literally every day, hour by hour.
42:30
Speaker 1: Great collection of subcontractors are performing the work, really hard
42:35
Speaker 1: workers on site, and uh, you know, it's one of
42:38
Speaker 1: those things where you you have to get it done
42:41
Speaker 1: on time, you know. So we have to absolutely have
42:43
Speaker 1: to be complete by the end of June next year,
42:47
Speaker 1: about a year from now, so that when the team
42:50
Speaker 1: comes back for training camp that can move right into
42:52
Speaker 1: the new facility. To be very disruptive for them to
42:55
Speaker 1: have to do that as it gets closer to the
42:56
Speaker 1: season or even in in the middle of the season.
42:59
Speaker 1: The full conversation with Mark Lamping available on the archive
43:02
Speaker 1: of Jags Drive Time that's on Jack's social media from
43:05
Speaker 1: Tuesday or on Jaguars dot com. Plenty to discuss with
43:09
Speaker 1: him with the shipyards coming up and the construction of
43:13
Speaker 1: course right here, and a lot of things happening with
43:15
Speaker 1: the football team, and I think the one thing that
43:18
Speaker 1: Mark talked about about the timeliness, Okay, I gotta be
43:20
Speaker 1: done by June of next year. But the one thing
43:23
Speaker 1: that is not being sacrificed is the quality of the work.
43:28
Speaker 1: And that's not easy to do. And that's why when
43:31
Speaker 1: Mark's talking about what a great collection of subcontractors and
43:34
Speaker 1: how incredibly hard they're working. Yeah, you can see it.
43:38
Speaker 1: I mean, every day you see progress and that's that's
43:40
Speaker 1: the impressive part. And I just can't wait to see
43:43
Speaker 1: this facility come to fruition. We've had the the experience
43:47
Speaker 1: and the opportunity to see many other NFL teams facility,
43:52
Speaker 1: you know, the notable ones, the Vikings, the Ravens, the
43:56
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons, going way back, there were one of the
43:58
Speaker 1: first ones that actually him up with this concept of
44:01
Speaker 1: this big, giant facility on a lot of acreage that
44:05
Speaker 1: they have. And now the Jaguars are going to be
44:09
Speaker 1: right in the mix. And I know it's not really
44:11
Speaker 1: an arms race in the National Football League because but
44:14
Speaker 1: I mean, the reality is jp is that the NFL
44:17
Speaker 1: now recruiting is involved because sometimes for years many people said, oh,
44:22
Speaker 1: it's about the money, It's only about the money. Well,
44:25
Speaker 1: it is about the money. A lot of times money
44:27
Speaker 1: is equal. So when money is equal, if you have
44:30
Speaker 1: a facility like this and you're competing against the team
44:33
Speaker 1: that doesn't, maybe that sways a free agent to come
44:37
Speaker 1: in your way. So from that aspect of it, the
44:41
Speaker 1: arms race does exist in the NFL for good reason.
44:45
Speaker 1: Let's go around the National Football League a few notable
44:48
Speaker 1: storylines NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will testify at a US
44:52
Speaker 1: House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing next week. You
44:55
Speaker 1: will testify virtually. Washington owner Dan Snyder declined to be interviewed,
45:01
Speaker 1: imagine testify. Congress launched an investigation into the Washington workplace
45:07
Speaker 1: misconduct in October last year after the League did not
45:10
Speaker 1: release a report on the independent probe. Snyder, of course
45:15
Speaker 1: stepped away from day to day business of the club,
45:17
Speaker 1: but the lack of a written report prompted that congressional inquiry.
45:21
Speaker 1: Something to watch. Does does the Congressional inquiry press further
45:29
Speaker 1: to get Daniel Snyder to testify? But the interesting thing
45:33
Speaker 1: for me is the report that came out not that
45:37
Speaker 1: long ago about about Dan Snyder skimming off of the
45:41
Speaker 1: top before allowing that percentage to pass into the pool
45:46
Speaker 1: that's shared by other owners. That to me is the
45:51
Speaker 1: thing to watch. The workplace environment absolutely something that's important,
45:57
Speaker 1: But when you violate the trust of those who you
46:01
Speaker 1: work with, that can create what in essence, would be
46:06
Speaker 1: the death penalty for his ownership in Washington. Something to
46:10
Speaker 1: watch the next few months ahead, the Steelers made mink
46:14
Speaker 1: of Fitzpatrick the highest paid safety in Laite history logs
46:17
Speaker 1: big money four year extension worth more than seventy three
46:20
Speaker 1: million dollars according to Ian rampat Word of NFL Network,
46:24
Speaker 1: thirty six million of that guaranteed. It's an average of
46:27
Speaker 1: just over eighteen million per season. It's a great player.
46:31
Speaker 1: And uh, they traded. If you compare what the what
46:36
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers gave up to get him, and compare
46:42
Speaker 1: that to what the Seahawks gave up to get jamal
46:47
Speaker 1: Um the safety from the Jets. From the Jets. Okay, Adams, Adams,
46:54
Speaker 1: thank you. Okay, you compare with each team gave up,
46:58
Speaker 1: you'll understand why the Pittsburg Steelers have been kind of
47:02
Speaker 1: the standard of the way to do business. They didn't
47:06
Speaker 1: overpay for a guy like men of Fitzpatrick. They gave
47:11
Speaker 1: one draft pick away, that was it. And how many
47:14
Speaker 1: did they give up for Jama A whole lot and
47:18
Speaker 1: there wasn't a contract attached to it. They had to
47:21
Speaker 1: pay him. Yeah. So uh. Colts starting safety Carry Willis
47:26
Speaker 1: is retiring after three NFL seasons. He was a fourth
47:29
Speaker 1: round pick by the Colts in nineteen played fourteen games
47:32
Speaker 1: that year, nine starts, fourteen starts in ten starts last season,
47:38
Speaker 1: he had about four career interceptions. He said he's devoting
47:42
Speaker 1: the remainder of his life to further the advancement of
47:44
Speaker 1: the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So he's getting out of
47:46
Speaker 1: football three years in and moving on with life. Good
47:49
Speaker 1: for him. In life, you follow your passion. That that's
47:52
Speaker 1: your passion, go for it. And that takes a lot
47:54
Speaker 1: of courage to do that, because I mean, if you're walking,
47:58
Speaker 1: stepping away from millions of dollars of potential income to
48:02
Speaker 1: follow your calling, that calling is loud. I give him credit.
48:07
Speaker 1: Takes courage, no doubt, because it's you can't come back.
48:09
Speaker 1: Tough to come back at least back. Yeah, but it's
48:12
Speaker 1: tough come back. I mean it's not like, uh, you're
48:15
Speaker 1: leaving the PGA to go play this other tournament. I'm
48:20
Speaker 1: trying to come back. They may not come back. Okay,
48:23
Speaker 1: this is uh. The gospel is not as an l
48:26
Speaker 1: I V. I guess I'll do it for our look
48:33
Speaker 1: around at National Football League. We mentioned this earlier. It's
48:36
Speaker 1: our last show. We'll be back until we won't be
48:38
Speaker 1: back until the last week of July. That's July, Yes,
48:44
Speaker 1: first day, Yes, and we'll have a full slotm uh,
48:48
Speaker 1: a lotment of shows that week as training camp begin.
48:51
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to training camp this year in
48:54
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame game and and can't wait
48:56
Speaker 1: for for Tony Boselli's induction into the Hall of Fame
49:00
Speaker 1: and the hell of Bruce Smith. It's gonna be a
49:02
Speaker 1: fantastic moment and well deserved and very excited to be
49:08
Speaker 1: able to witness the induction ceremony. And I can't wait.
49:10
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. Man, looking forward to that, looking
49:13
Speaker 1: forward to a little time down and then get back
49:16
Speaker 1: at it. Here we go, late July, Jack our football,
49:19
