- 0:33Speaker 1: What's happening with you? Good afternoon, JP, All's good. Yeah,
- 0:39Speaker 1: it's been a busy day around t I A a
- 0:41Speaker 1: bank field, that's for sure. Here's what's coming up on
- 0:44Speaker 1: the show today. The Jaguars discussing actionable change. Practice was
- 0:50Speaker 1: moved back and actually was in question for a little
- 0:53Speaker 1: while today. The Jags did take the practice field a
- 0:56Speaker 1: little later. We'll get into some of the reasons why.
- 0:59Speaker 1: We'll hear from Doug Ron and wide receiver Chris Conley.
- 1:02Speaker 1: The season is two weeks away. Two weeks from tonight
- 1:07Speaker 1: will be the first NFL game of the season. That's
- 1:10Speaker 1: coming quick. The Jags have a lot of work to
- 1:12Speaker 1: get done between now and two weeks from now, including
- 1:15Speaker 1: a scrimmage this Saturday. We'll preview a little bit of
- 1:18Speaker 1: that what to expect, and we'll go around the National
- 1:21Speaker 1: Football League. Let's start logs with today. The Jaguars had
- 1:25Speaker 1: their normal scheduled practice for today, but they got started.
- 1:31Speaker 1: There were some team meetings. Doug Maron was scheduled to
- 1:34Speaker 1: meet the media at ten until nine this morning. That
- 1:36Speaker 1: came and went. There was a message from the pr
- 1:39Speaker 1: staff saying that Maron's oppress availability would be postponed. There
- 1:44Speaker 1: was no time given. And then there was a question
- 1:47Speaker 1: about practice as well, where apparently there was a team
- 1:50Speaker 1: meeting going on about everything that has happened in Wisconsin
- 1:54Speaker 1: over the last few days. And you know, of course
- 1:57Speaker 1: the night before NBA teams were walking off the floor
- 2:00Speaker 1: and the playoff games and they postponed all those games.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Last night. Some Major League Baseball teams were stepping away
- 2:07Speaker 1: in protest as well. So the Jaguars are trying to
- 2:09Speaker 1: figure out as a team what they were going to do,
- 2:13Speaker 1: if they were going to do anything today about that.
- 2:16Speaker 1: And there was a vote held and the team voted
- 2:19Speaker 1: to go out and practice together. Doug Morone explained a
- 2:23Speaker 1: little bit the morning that was at t I A
- 2:25Speaker 1: a bank field. You know, today, you know, decisions to
- 2:29Speaker 1: go out and practice. I'm sure there was you know,
- 2:33Speaker 1: players that you know I didn't want to practice, Maybe
- 2:36Speaker 1: there was coaches, maybe it was everyone. I don't I
- 2:39Speaker 1: don't know, but what I do know is that we
- 2:43Speaker 1: were able to express a lot of opinions, a lot
- 2:46Speaker 1: of emotion um at the end of the day somehow,
- 2:52Speaker 1: you know, come together and go out there. And I
- 2:55Speaker 1: think that somewhere along the line, we've got to figure
- 3:00Speaker 1: it out, because obviously we want to do something that's
- 3:04Speaker 1: that's actionable, something that you know, could could create change
- 3:12Speaker 1: its head coach Doug Moron after practice today logs the
- 3:16Speaker 1: vote apparently, according to Chris Connley, was one vote difference
- 3:20Speaker 1: thty seven thirty six with the numbers he gave, So
- 3:24Speaker 1: that's quite a near that's about his narrow of marginal
- 3:26Speaker 1: you can get, obviously, But the team did come together
- 3:29Speaker 1: after that and go out and practice. That's a lot
- 3:32Speaker 1: of moving parts on a on a practice day and
- 3:34Speaker 1: training camp. Well, I think I think emotions running pretty
- 3:39Speaker 1: high with what happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin and UH and
- 3:43Speaker 1: I think probably a lot of players feel like, Okay,
- 3:46Speaker 1: here we go again, and what do we have to
- 3:48Speaker 1: do to make this not happen again, and so I
- 3:51Speaker 1: think there's a little bit of frustration there. There's certainly
- 3:55Speaker 1: a lot of deep thought that's involved here, and I
- 3:58Speaker 1: think you probably have some player that sit there and say, hey, look,
- 4:01Speaker 1: you know, uh, I emotionally can't get ready for a practice.
- 4:05Speaker 1: And then there's some players that's that say, hey, look,
- 4:08Speaker 1: we still have a job and let's go to practice
- 4:11Speaker 1: because that's what we are, we're football players. And then
- 4:14Speaker 1: we can have actionable change at another time. But but
- 4:18Speaker 1: I understand it, and it's a difficult time because so
- 4:22Speaker 1: many other athletes have already reacted. And I think with
- 4:26Speaker 1: the Jaguars and other players or football players that are
- 4:30Speaker 1: trying to figure out how can they best draw attention
- 4:32Speaker 1: to this so that this doesn't happen again, they're trying
- 4:36Speaker 1: to figure out the best way to do that. And
- 4:38Speaker 1: that's tough. I mean, it's hard. It's it's hard to
- 4:40Speaker 1: figure out what's what the right thing to do is.
- 4:43Speaker 1: And it's certainly a position that the players. Uh, first
- 4:47Speaker 1: of all, I give them credit for being in it
- 4:49Speaker 1: to begin with, because for many years, I mean, there
- 4:53Speaker 1: was never a position taken by the players really for anything.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I mean, there was. I don't want to say there's
- 5:00Speaker 1: there was a fear, but there was a hesitancy to
- 5:03Speaker 1: jump out in front and say I don't approve of
- 5:06Speaker 1: this and we want to see something change. So I
- 5:08Speaker 1: give the players credit from that standpoint, but there also
- 5:12Speaker 1: is there's a long way to go, a long way
- 5:14Speaker 1: to go, and I don't know what the right action is,
- 5:18Speaker 1: but but I think the players are trying to find
- 5:20Speaker 1: out exactly what that is as well. Well. And of
- 5:24Speaker 1: course Logs it starts at the top of the organization here.
- 5:27Speaker 1: You remember a couple of months ago, right after the
- 5:30Speaker 1: George Floyd incident in Minneapolis, the Jaguars decided to march
- 5:35Speaker 1: to the police station here in Jacksonville and back. That
- 5:39Speaker 1: was in the midst of the COVID pandemic and everything
- 5:42Speaker 1: going on, So that was the first time in a
- 5:44Speaker 1: long time everybody had kind of been in the same place.
- 5:46Speaker 1: And then a few days later, Leonard Fournette led a
- 5:48Speaker 1: march downtown with the mayor and the sheriff involved in
- 5:52Speaker 1: that one as well, and then Mr Khan has a
- 5:54Speaker 1: statement basically saying that the Jaguars will be at the
- 5:58Speaker 1: forefront of these disc gushions here and in players communities,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and so that's what this is gonna be. And even
- 6:05Speaker 1: after those marches, Doug Marone spoke and said, We're going
- 6:08Speaker 1: to dedicate time to this. It's that important to our organization,
- 6:13Speaker 1: our city, um and our players that even in the
- 6:17Speaker 1: midst of training camp when something comes up like this,
- 6:20Speaker 1: they have to give it time because it's important to
- 6:24Speaker 1: the football team and the community. And that's that's that's
- 6:26Speaker 1: really what Doug Maron thinks logs. Yeah, and uh boy,
- 6:30Speaker 1: I mean I give Doug a lot of credit first off,
- 6:34Speaker 1: because I mean, these are challenging times and he's having
- 6:38Speaker 1: to maneuver with a lot of different things going on.
- 6:42Speaker 1: You know, you have worldwide pandemic, You're trying to coach
- 6:46Speaker 1: a football team, and now you have social issues that
- 6:50Speaker 1: are are right at the at the forefront of a
- 6:52Speaker 1: lot of people's thoughts and a lot of you know, his,
- 6:55Speaker 1: his employees or his players thoughts. So, uh, kudos to
- 6:59Speaker 1: do for managing a lot of that. Kudos to the
- 7:03Speaker 1: Jaguars for being out in front with some of those
- 7:06Speaker 1: things and supporting the players going all the way back
- 7:09Speaker 1: to the to the march in Jacksonville, and then most recently,
- 7:13Speaker 1: JP the Jaguars named a person to a position to
- 7:18Speaker 1: help address some of these issues with the organization, with
- 7:21Speaker 1: the players and in the community. Will make sure I
- 7:23Speaker 1: get this right. It's Tenisia Tate who was just recently
- 7:27Speaker 1: named vice president of Social Responsibility and Impact. And so
- 7:31Speaker 1: kudos to the Jaguars and Mark Lamping and Shan Khan
- 7:35Speaker 1: for taking action that they feel like will lead to
- 7:39Speaker 1: more action. And because you know, players are players, and
- 7:45Speaker 1: and so a lot of times they want to know
- 7:48Speaker 1: what's best and they need to find out what's the
- 7:50Speaker 1: best way to maybe go about things. And I think
- 7:53Speaker 1: having Tunisia in that role, I think we'll guide the energy.
- 7:58Speaker 1: At least I'm hoping that will guide that energy to
- 8:01Speaker 1: a productive outcome for what the intentions are. So credit
- 8:06Speaker 1: to the Jaguars. I give him a lot of credit.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Tunisia's Jacksonville native went to Rains High School, so she
- 8:13Speaker 1: knows the lay of the land here very well and
- 8:15Speaker 1: that will be a fantastic role for her. You know,
- 8:18Speaker 1: this comes after the last couple of days, obviously, after
- 8:22Speaker 1: what happened in Wisconsin and the Lions canceled practice a
- 8:26Speaker 1: couple of days ago. The first NFL team to do
- 8:28Speaker 1: anything like that with this incident, and then the NBA
- 8:32Speaker 1: decided to postpone playoff games with the Bucks walk off
- 8:35Speaker 1: the floor, and the league had to basically postpone all
- 8:39Speaker 1: the playoff games. They don't want to start forfeiting playoff games.
- 8:44Speaker 1: That's not a great look, certainly, so they postponed them.
- 8:47Speaker 1: And then there's a big players meeting in the NBA
- 8:50Speaker 1: last night. Would they even finish the playoffs? Well, cooler
- 8:53Speaker 1: heads have prevailed with that. It sounds like they're going
- 8:56Speaker 1: to finish the playoffs they or continue them. At least
- 8:59Speaker 1: a few Major League Baseball teams have had games postponed
- 9:03Speaker 1: or they walked off the field. Others like the Oakland
- 9:06Speaker 1: A's today are not planning on ploy playing in their game.
- 9:09Speaker 1: But now the question today was could NFL games at
- 9:13Speaker 1: some point being jeopardy if an instance like this were
- 9:16Speaker 1: to happen again in the future. During the NFL's regular season,
- 9:20Speaker 1: Chris Connolly was asked that after practice today, and of
- 9:24Speaker 1: course Chris was was vocal in those marches a couple
- 9:27Speaker 1: of months ago here in Jacksonville, and he said it
- 9:30Speaker 1: would take a united front by the faces of the
- 9:32Speaker 1: league you see the leaders and people in the other
- 9:35Speaker 1: leagues who stand up and say that they're they're sitting down,
- 9:39Speaker 1: And those are the guys. Those are the lebrons, you know,
- 9:43Speaker 1: those are the curries, those are the those are the
- 9:46Speaker 1: guys who were at the top of their game in
- 9:48Speaker 1: the face of the league. The same thing would need
- 9:50Speaker 1: to happen, uh in the NFL for that to happen,
- 9:54Speaker 1: And until then, I'm not sure. Conley is a very
- 10:01Speaker 1: eloquent speaker. Of course, he had that fantastic speech on
- 10:04Speaker 1: the stairs at the police station a couple of months
- 10:06Speaker 1: ago and was one of the most vocal that day
- 10:09Speaker 1: and as a big piece of of what the Jaguars
- 10:13Speaker 1: were doing today leading up to practice or not practice,
- 10:17Speaker 1: you know. And it's it's a valid point because he
- 10:20Speaker 1: made this point to Logs that there's so many players
- 10:23Speaker 1: involved in the NFL and there are different tiers of players. Right.
- 10:27Speaker 1: A quarterback has a little more juice, if you will,
- 10:30Speaker 1: then you know the third string guard who's a rookie. Right,
- 10:34Speaker 1: That's just kind of how it works. Um, it's fair,
- 10:37Speaker 1: but it's not equal, was the term he used. So
- 10:41Speaker 1: that's what it would take if if all of a sudden,
- 10:43Speaker 1: a third string guard doesn't want to sit out, they'll
- 10:46Speaker 1: find another third string guard. If a starting quarterback who
- 10:49Speaker 1: was an m v P. Let me just jump in
- 10:54Speaker 1: here a little bit, because yeah, I understand that. Look
- 10:59Speaker 1: the reason why you maybe don't have a game or
- 11:03Speaker 1: or boycott a game, or or say we don't want
- 11:06Speaker 1: to practice as you're trying to draw attention to a matter.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Totally get that. The one thing though, that I'm not
- 11:13Speaker 1: sure of it is if you if you get in
- 11:16Speaker 1: the NFL season, and this is all purely hypothetical, but
- 11:19Speaker 1: if you get in the NFL season and you say, okay,
- 11:22Speaker 1: well we don't want to play because something happens, does
- 11:26Speaker 1: that does that affect actionable change? And I think that's
- 11:31Speaker 1: the question that needs to be asked and answered before
- 11:35Speaker 1: before anybody decides not to do it, you know, And
- 11:38Speaker 1: and I think Bruce Arians, the head coach of the
- 11:41Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, talked about it a little bit today
- 11:43Speaker 1: when he met with the media over there, and he
- 11:44Speaker 1: said that, you know, for the players, don't protest, you know,
- 11:48Speaker 1: take action, and whatever that action is. I don't know
- 11:52Speaker 1: the answer to that, but just protesting or saying okay,
- 11:56Speaker 1: we're not gonna practice. If that's not going to create change,
- 11:59Speaker 1: then don't do it. You do something that's gonna be productive.
- 12:04Speaker 1: And and like I said, I don't know the answer
- 12:06Speaker 1: to that, but I think there's a lot of really
- 12:10Speaker 1: bright minds that the NFL can lean on. And I
- 12:14Speaker 1: think that's the whole reason why the Jaguars have Tunisia
- 12:18Speaker 1: in that role, is that you know, hey, look, you
- 12:19Speaker 1: know to provide guidance, you know, to to provide help
- 12:24Speaker 1: to make the right decisions for for a football team,
- 12:29Speaker 1: and also to create actionable change. So uh, and it's
- 12:33Speaker 1: a touchy subject. I mean, which you know, what's the
- 12:36Speaker 1: right thing, and you know, in locker rooms, JP are
- 12:39Speaker 1: no different than society. Locker rooms have a thing and
- 12:44Speaker 1: they all vary, yeah, from eighty different backgrounds. It's it's
- 12:52Speaker 1: no different than if you have a quarterback controversy. And
- 12:56Speaker 1: I'm not trying to to kind of compare um the
- 13:00Speaker 1: social issues that we have today with you know, who's
- 13:03Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, But I'm just trying to use this
- 13:06Speaker 1: as an example of how opinions can be so varied
- 13:09Speaker 1: and that you know, I've been in locker rooms before
- 13:11Speaker 1: to where we've had a quote unquote quarterback controversy, and
- 13:16Speaker 1: the locker room might be just as split as a
- 13:18Speaker 1: fan base, and so when you're talking about issues of
- 13:22Speaker 1: social matter, it may be no different. And that you
- 13:25Speaker 1: have a hundred different opinions and you've only got any
- 13:29Speaker 1: guys because one guy may have two pinions that he's
- 13:31Speaker 1: not sure which way to think, you know, so uh,
- 13:35Speaker 1: challenging time, certainly. I know that Pete Carroll was posed
- 13:38Speaker 1: the question about could there be games that will not
- 13:42Speaker 1: be played in the season, and Pete put it quite simply,
- 13:45Speaker 1: he said, you know, maybe you know, I mean, we're
- 13:48Speaker 1: gonna have to see And and Pete has been I
- 13:52Speaker 1: think a very supportive member of the player's voice and
- 13:56Speaker 1: all of this, and uh and and Pete is not
- 13:58Speaker 1: afraid and never has been afraid. And I know Pete,
- 14:01Speaker 1: I've been around him a long time. He's never been
- 14:03Speaker 1: afraid of addressing social issues. And I commend, commend Doug
- 14:08Speaker 1: Maron for not having any fear whatsoever addressing it. And
- 14:12Speaker 1: you could also see a little bit of a pained
- 14:15Speaker 1: expression with Doug Morone today and that you know, as
- 14:18Speaker 1: he said, he said, you know, in a position of
- 14:19Speaker 1: leadership sometimes you want to create actual change, but you
- 14:23Speaker 1: know you're sometimes not sure what to do. So tough
- 14:27Speaker 1: position to be in. And I credit a lot of
- 14:30Speaker 1: the players in the league for for taking action, and
- 14:34Speaker 1: but I think we've got to find a way to
- 14:37Speaker 1: make sure that the action is going to be productive. Well,
- 14:41Speaker 1: all I know is that the conversations continue. The Jaguar
- 14:44Speaker 1: has canceled all football matters the rest of the day
- 14:47Speaker 1: after practice and a team meeting started around three o'clock
- 14:51Speaker 1: today and apparently is expected to go for a little while.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I don't think there's a time limit on that one tonight.
- 14:57Speaker 1: So the conversation continues amongst the Jacksonville Jaguars today, though
- 15:02Speaker 1: they did get the practice in today. Let's come back
- 15:06Speaker 1: in a moment and we'll hear from Doug marrone again
- 15:08Speaker 1: a little more about this morning. We'll get into footballer's
- 15:12Speaker 1: as we said, like it's two weeks from the season,
- 15:15Speaker 1: a scrimmage coming up Saturday, and a lot still to
- 15:17Speaker 1: get done for this football team. We are off and

- 19:33Speaker 1: your practice and welcome back to Jaguar's Happy Hour on
- 19:37Speaker 1: this Thursday afternoon. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logaman Bono's Pitt
- 19:40Speaker 1: Barbecue is showing support for frontline heroes by creating a
- 19:43Speaker 1: feed The Frontline Campaign helps support our local doctors, nurses,
- 19:47Speaker 1: and hospital workers by donating meals to honor their brave
- 19:50Speaker 1: and dedicated efforts during this difficult time. Call three and
- 19:55Speaker 1: donate today. With all that going on, logs right, the
- 20:00Speaker 1: we touched on this last segment, but it's I think
- 20:02Speaker 1: it's worth noting again and maybe with a little more emphasis.
- 20:06Speaker 1: How challenging this was going to be anyway for head
- 20:10Speaker 1: coach Doug Moron and Dave Caldwell and Dave Will will
- 20:12Speaker 1: join us on The Doug Moron Show at five o'clock.
- 20:15Speaker 1: But then you throw in the pandemic COVID nineteen and
- 20:18Speaker 1: everything that happened. No offseason program, it's all virtual. Nothing
- 20:22Speaker 1: on the field. Um, You've got a young team, right.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Twelve draft picks there were thirty rookies on the roster
- 20:29Speaker 1: in the off season. That's a lot of youth in
- 20:32Speaker 1: a pandemic and all that, and then all the social
- 20:35Speaker 1: justice initiatives that are starting to come back around again
- 20:38Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, and then now during training camp.
- 20:42Speaker 1: That is a lot on a head coaches plate and
- 20:46Speaker 1: GM's plate, especially in a year where they're kind of
- 20:50Speaker 1: up against it logs. I mean, they've got to win
- 20:52Speaker 1: some games here. There's a lot going on right now,
- 20:54Speaker 1: especially for for Doug Moron. Yeah, I think it's a
- 20:59Speaker 1: tremendous challenge in a challenging ear. And let me just
- 21:03Speaker 1: add this here too, because you know, with with the
- 21:06Speaker 1: news that we're talking about now, it seems to be
- 21:10Speaker 1: at the forefront a lot of conversation that's going on
- 21:13Speaker 1: in our country right now. Oh by the way, there
- 21:16Speaker 1: was a hurricane that just went through and affected the
- 21:20Speaker 1: residents of Louisiana, Texas and also parts north of there,
- 21:26Speaker 1: And so thoughts and prayers go out to those affected
- 21:29Speaker 1: from Hurricane Laura, because I know that a lot of
- 21:31Speaker 1: the conversation right now is not about that, and uh,
- 21:35Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to think that, you know, you
- 21:38Speaker 1: forget about them in that type of situation because we've
- 21:42Speaker 1: been through that before dealing with Hurricane So just just
- 21:45Speaker 1: a quick thought on that. Yeah, that's a good point
- 21:49Speaker 1: and that that was not on the list at least
- 21:52Speaker 1: in the Jaguars world yet, but it has been in
- 21:55Speaker 1: the past. Yes, that's that's the I think the one
- 21:57Speaker 1: thing that knock on wood and I've got a table
- 22:00Speaker 1: right here that we don't really have to deal with
- 22:02Speaker 1: directly this year now to football logs, were two weeks
- 22:06Speaker 1: away from the first NFL game, so you know that's
- 22:11Speaker 1: that's coming in hot all of a sudden. The Jags
- 22:13Speaker 1: have a scrimmage on Saturday at the stadium and then
- 22:15Speaker 1: they're gonna shut down training camp mode. The media won't
- 22:19Speaker 1: be allowed out there after stretched really at that point
- 22:21Speaker 1: of individual work, they'll be out of there. So regular
- 22:24Speaker 1: season rules are back in effect. You know this is uh,
- 22:29Speaker 1: you're at this point now, it's two weeks um at
- 22:33Speaker 1: some point that hey has got to be in the
- 22:34Speaker 1: barn and an opening day you'll you'll tee it up
- 22:37Speaker 1: at at one o'clock on the thirteenth September. Well, when
- 22:41Speaker 1: you when you say the hay is in the barn
- 22:43Speaker 1: The hey can actually mean a lot of different things. Um,
- 22:47Speaker 1: it could mean your roster, it could mean your preparation,
- 22:51Speaker 1: it could mean your game plans, it could bean your
- 22:55Speaker 1: physical health and well being. I mean, there's there's not
- 22:58Speaker 1: a lot that's going to affect any kind of of
- 23:02Speaker 1: change in football between now and the opener, you know,
- 23:05Speaker 1: And I think it's gonna be interesting to see what
- 23:08Speaker 1: happens once you get into the regular season JP. And
- 23:11Speaker 1: kind of what I'm referring to here is that every
- 23:13Speaker 1: team right now is kind of operating under the shroud
- 23:16Speaker 1: of secrecy, and that you're you're not the performance of
- 23:20Speaker 1: your players, the performance of your team, the scheme of
- 23:24Speaker 1: your team. None of that is getting out and put
- 23:27Speaker 1: on film because there's no preseason games and nothing's getting publicized. Obviously,
- 23:33Speaker 1: local media is restricted in every market as far as
- 23:37Speaker 1: you know, how in depth that they can go and
- 23:39Speaker 1: describing what they're seeing on the practice field, including everybody,
- 23:43Speaker 1: you know, whether it's it's team media or it's it's
- 23:46Speaker 1: local print media or TV media. So what happens when
- 23:50Speaker 1: you get to cut down time and you've got to
- 23:53Speaker 1: make a decision of who the fifty three are gonna be,
- 23:56Speaker 1: and who the sixteen are gonna be on your practice squad,
- 23:59Speaker 1: and and what kind of change do you have, because
- 24:02Speaker 1: you know, in a normal year, when you're having an
- 24:04Speaker 1: organization that is essentially undergoing a rebuild, like we kind
- 24:08Speaker 1: of consider what the Jaguars are doing now because of
- 24:10Speaker 1: the commitment to youth and and the number of subtractions
- 24:14Speaker 1: compared to what the additions are. They are clearly in
- 24:18Speaker 1: that mode of trying to to rebuild a football team
- 24:20Speaker 1: and trying to win at the same time. Don't get
- 24:22Speaker 1: me wrong, but when you have that situation, you typically
- 24:26Speaker 1: have a football team like the Jaguars in the position
- 24:29Speaker 1: they're in that they're gonna go out and they're gonna
- 24:30Speaker 1: get other players from the other teams and be able
- 24:34Speaker 1: to kind of scalt what those players that they have
- 24:37Speaker 1: had scouting reports on from college and compare that to
- 24:40Speaker 1: what their performance has been in the preseason. And there's
- 24:43Speaker 1: always been maybe oh four or five, maybe up to
- 24:47Speaker 1: seven roster changes right before you get to committing to
- 24:51Speaker 1: what your fifty three are going to be going into
- 24:53Speaker 1: opening week, because you're changing out a few phases and
- 24:56Speaker 1: names prior to that opener with guys from other teams,
- 24:59Speaker 1: So how much of that will happen? Uh, So that's
- 25:02Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of a curiosity to me.
- 25:04Speaker 1: And uh and we're gonna see what's gonna happen. And
- 25:07Speaker 1: they've called well in the scouts, I mean, they're gonna
- 25:09Speaker 1: have to refer probably more so back to what their
- 25:13Speaker 1: rating system was prior to the draft, and there really
- 25:17Speaker 1: hasn't been any update to that because they haven't seen
- 25:20Speaker 1: the player and maybe the Giants camp or the Saints
- 25:24Speaker 1: camp or whatever team that the player that they like
- 25:27Speaker 1: is residing that currently now, you know. To that point,
- 25:33Speaker 1: I blazed over a story today that the Bills were
- 25:37Speaker 1: looking at media reports of other teams come cut time,
- 25:41Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, that's not news. That happens
- 25:44Speaker 1: all the time anyway, Like there's somebody in every department
- 25:48Speaker 1: that looks at every clipping, every media report to see
- 25:51Speaker 1: if there's something maybe they've missed in scouting anyway, but
- 25:55Speaker 1: this year becomes oh so much more important. If they
- 25:58Speaker 1: see something some kind of tin bit in another team's media,
- 26:02Speaker 1: maybe that could tip them off that that they like
- 26:05Speaker 1: a guy. So, I mean, so de Rock, Mike Rocco,
- 26:11Speaker 1: who's Jaguars beat writer. He better knock it off. He
- 26:14Speaker 1: better stop talking about all these you know, these hidden
- 26:17Speaker 1: gems that the Jaguars have, and and uh and all
- 26:20Speaker 1: the other reporters as well, you know Hey's carline, all
- 26:23Speaker 1: those guys. Man stop at Brent Martin, No stop, you
- 26:26Speaker 1: can't do that. So, I mean, but didn't I just
- 26:30Speaker 1: read today that there was a team's media member of
- 26:35Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills up right, that's what you're talking about.
- 26:37Speaker 1: He got fired because he was two different stories, Steve
- 26:41Speaker 1: Tasker okay, on a radio show and was talking about
- 26:45Speaker 1: scheme and also the performance of the players. Did I
- 26:48Speaker 1: read that correctly? That's right. Well, Chris Brown is his name,
- 26:52Speaker 1: and he's he's been there for a long long time
- 26:54Speaker 1: with the Bills and hosts the radio show and is
- 26:57Speaker 1: a writer for the team website and contributed basically like
- 27:01Speaker 1: we're doing, you know, but it would be the equivalent
- 27:04Speaker 1: of John Osan getting whacked or getting sent out of
- 27:06Speaker 1: practice right for a while. So basically was talking about
- 27:10Speaker 1: some things on a radio show that apparently the Bills
- 27:14Speaker 1: did not want him or anyone to discuss, and the
- 27:18Speaker 1: Bills took action. Internally, it sounds like interesting, I mean interesting,
- 27:24Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I look at football's not rocket science. Um,
- 27:29Speaker 1: but I totally understand that, you know, you don't want
- 27:32Speaker 1: to be talking about you know, maybe all of a
- 27:34Speaker 1: sudden there's some guy that is having a phenomenal camp,
- 27:39Speaker 1: and but you've got a lot of phenomenal guys at
- 27:41Speaker 1: that position, and you'd like to find a way maybe
- 27:44Speaker 1: to sneak him on the practice squad or or maybe
- 27:47Speaker 1: find a way to uh and here's the other thing.
- 27:51Speaker 1: If you have a guy that's performing really well and
- 27:53Speaker 1: you're stacked at a position, so maybe sometimes you'd like
- 27:56Speaker 1: to get the word out. So maybe you tell your
- 27:59Speaker 1: your in house media, hey man, spread the word that
- 28:02Speaker 1: Joe Schmo is having a heck of a camp because
- 28:05Speaker 1: we want to maybe trade Joe Schmo or trade the
- 28:07Speaker 1: other guy, you know, so uh, it can god be
- 28:11Speaker 1: a two way street, you know. And unfortunate that what
- 28:14Speaker 1: happened to the guy in Buffalo, and uh, you know,
- 28:18Speaker 1: hopefully that doesn't happen to anybody else like me or
- 28:22Speaker 1: you or me Yeah, not neither one of us, nobody
- 28:26Speaker 1: on this staff. We don't want that happen. And let's
- 28:29Speaker 1: come back. Um. And but Tony Boselli is gonna join us.
- 28:33Speaker 1: You might have heard of him, former left tackle for

- 32:49Speaker 1: I'm not the type of guy. I'm more just talking
- 32:54Speaker 1: from my heart and talking about how I feel and
- 32:57Speaker 1: you know, and that's what I did with the with
- 32:59Speaker 1: the team head coach Doug Maron after practice today, meeting
- 33:05Speaker 1: with the media and welcome back to Jaguars Happy Hour

- 33:14Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell, general manager for the jag steps in for
- 33:17Speaker 1: the head coach today. Tony Basselli noted left tackle steps
- 33:22Speaker 1: in now, Tony, good afternoon, What's up? What's going on? Fellas?
- 33:29Speaker 1: Just recapping a busy day around t I A. A.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Bank Field, Tony the I'm sure you've heard by now.
- 33:36Speaker 1: The Jaguars moved back practice today and there were questions
- 33:40Speaker 1: of even going out to the practice field some other
- 33:42Speaker 1: teams around the league. We're calling off practices today in
- 33:46Speaker 1: response to what happened in Wisconsin a few days ago.
- 33:50Speaker 1: And of course, the NBA games were all postponed last
- 33:53Speaker 1: night and again tonight, and apparently it sounds like they're
- 33:56Speaker 1: gonna start playing a post postseason games again. The NBA
- 34:00Speaker 1: s some Major League Baseball games, but the Jags had
- 34:04Speaker 1: a big meeting this morning about it and a team vote,
- 34:07Speaker 1: and by one vote, apparently, according to Chris Conley, the
- 34:11Speaker 1: Jaguars decided to go to practice and not just part
- 34:14Speaker 1: of the team that the rest of the guys who
- 34:16Speaker 1: voted no went out there too. That kind of tells
- 34:19Speaker 1: you that's a big moment early in a team's formation, right, Tony,
- 34:22Speaker 1: when all of a sudden that's that divided. Yeah, it's
- 34:27Speaker 1: it's interesting. Um. I mean obviously you know since uh,
- 34:33Speaker 1: not just since the George Floyd uh situation which happened
- 34:38Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, and now with the young man in Wisconsin,
- 34:43Speaker 1: Jacob Blake. I mean, obviously you know you hate to
- 34:48Speaker 1: see you and I think Chris Conley said it very well.
- 34:50Speaker 1: You value, we need to value like in all lives,
- 34:52Speaker 1: and you don't like to see anyone lose their life.
- 34:56Speaker 1: And and obviously there's a lot of information that needs
- 35:00Speaker 1: to be found out and investigated everything else, and um,
- 35:04Speaker 1: but regardless of how it happened, the ending is bad
- 35:07Speaker 1: and it's not good, and it were very uh, it
- 35:10Speaker 1: seems like a very divided at times on some of
- 35:14Speaker 1: these really big issues. And I think the players are
- 35:16Speaker 1: trying to find their voice and find you know, how
- 35:19Speaker 1: how can they because they're frustrated, and how can they
- 35:21Speaker 1: respond to it in a meaningful way? UM. I thought
- 35:25Speaker 1: it was interesting, you know, and I don't know if
- 35:27Speaker 1: you guys talk about this. Bruce arians said something that
- 35:30Speaker 1: I thought was pretty well said, you know that people
- 35:35Speaker 1: need to take action. UM. But you know, in his experience,
- 35:39Speaker 1: and he says all the way back to the sixties.
- 35:42Speaker 1: He's obviously a little bit older than us. Uh, probably
- 35:45Speaker 1: he didn't see protesting doing too much, but that we
- 35:47Speaker 1: need to take action, you know, whether it's given to
- 35:49Speaker 1: a cause or getting involved in a cause that's gonna
- 35:52Speaker 1: bring about real change. And it made me think. And
- 35:55Speaker 1: and it was right around the time of the Jaguars
- 35:57Speaker 1: making the decision whether they're going to practice or not outing,
- 36:00Speaker 1: which I find you know, it's interesting of a way
- 36:02Speaker 1: to make a decision. And also you know several the
- 36:06Speaker 1: other teams UM not practicing we saw at the NBA.
- 36:09Speaker 1: Did I guess my question would be whether you practice
- 36:12Speaker 1: or not, or whether you play an NBA game yesterday
- 36:15Speaker 1: or not, because now they're gonna play. Um, as you said, JP,
- 36:18Speaker 1: what what is the what are what's the purpose? What
- 36:21Speaker 1: do you what are what is the end goal that
- 36:23Speaker 1: you're trying to accomplish by not practicing, UM, what is
- 36:26Speaker 1: that going to change? By not practicing? UM? Is it?
- 36:30Speaker 1: You know? You could argue it's gonna bring more attention
- 36:32Speaker 1: to the issue. I would argue that there's a lot
- 36:34Speaker 1: of attention right now on the issue. Now are we
- 36:36Speaker 1: getting where we need to go fast enough? You know?
- 36:39Speaker 1: You could argue not not even close um, which happens
- 36:42Speaker 1: a lot of times in this country when something becomes
- 36:44Speaker 1: political and there's you know, and everything around the election
- 36:47Speaker 1: and the circumstances we find ourselves in right now. But
- 36:51Speaker 1: I kept on asking myself, guys, like, what, like the
- 36:54Speaker 1: NBA not playing, is that going to change anything? A
- 36:58Speaker 1: team not practicing is that going to change anything? I
- 37:01Speaker 1: think the only way we see real change is that
- 37:04Speaker 1: you have to have real, hard, honest conversations UM where
- 37:09Speaker 1: people can influence change and bring about changes, whether it's
- 37:13Speaker 1: you know, reform around how people, uh police happens, racial
- 37:18Speaker 1: inequality or whatever, um of the issues that we want
- 37:21Speaker 1: to address. But it has to be I think bigger
- 37:24Speaker 1: than just sitting at a game UM or a practice.
- 37:27Speaker 1: And so I kind of found myself wondering and and
- 37:30Speaker 1: then circling back to what Bruce Arians said is that like,
- 37:33Speaker 1: as a player, and I know a lot of players
- 37:36Speaker 1: in the NFL do this in the in the n
- 37:37Speaker 1: B A uh, you know, whether it's a Lebron James
- 37:41Speaker 1: starting schools or people giving the found local foundations or whatever.
- 37:44Speaker 1: That's how you're gonna have to make really meaningful change. Um.
- 37:48Speaker 1: And then you know, and then you work your way
- 37:50Speaker 1: up into the you know, into the government, local starting
- 37:53Speaker 1: a local government, all the way up to try to
- 37:54Speaker 1: make uh significant changes of major issues. But I mean
- 37:59Speaker 1: sitting out of practice, I'm not sure. I'm not sure
- 38:01Speaker 1: what message that sends, um two people right, So, UM
- 38:10Speaker 1: the Jaguars voted to practice today by one vote. They
- 38:14Speaker 1: were out there at the full time a little bit
- 38:15Speaker 1: later today it started at eleven five instead of this morning,
- 38:20Speaker 1: and meetings continue this afternoon. And this will be part
- 38:24Speaker 1: it sounds like, as we heard a couple of months ago,
- 38:26Speaker 1: this will be part of how um the Jaguars have
- 38:29Speaker 1: to operate from really maybe the rest of the season.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Doug Maron said they're going to carve out time for
- 38:35Speaker 1: conversations like this, and today it was I felt like
- 38:39Speaker 1: it was certainly needed and they will continue. So let's
- 38:46Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's right. I mean, I think Doug,
- 38:48Speaker 1: trying to do you know, the best, began to lead
- 38:50Speaker 1: and to encourage conversation and to allow players to share
- 38:54Speaker 1: their frustrations. Um. But I would I would encourage is
- 38:59Speaker 1: not allow the frustrations and the conversations to lead to action,
- 39:04Speaker 1: like we're gonna do this so because we want to
- 39:06Speaker 1: accomplish this. So we're gonna excellently accomplish Why whatever that
- 39:11Speaker 1: y is were you as an individual, as a team,
- 39:14Speaker 1: or as an organization, whatever it is? Because um because
- 39:19Speaker 1: I think the most important thing that we need to
- 39:21Speaker 1: see happen is using a football kind of metaphor, if
- 39:25Speaker 1: you need to see the you know, the ball moved
- 39:26Speaker 1: down the field in making progress. And so I hope
- 39:29Speaker 1: that in all these conversations and for all of us,
- 39:31Speaker 1: I mean, I think we should all be having these
- 39:32Speaker 1: conversations amongst our families and friends and and you know,
- 39:36Speaker 1: in our communities. Um but we're talking about sports today,
- 39:39Speaker 1: whether it's the NFL or the NBA or any other
- 39:41Speaker 1: major leagues uh professional sport. The frustration is genuine, and
- 39:48Speaker 1: it's real, and the feelings are real Um, but I
- 39:53Speaker 1: hope it leads to some solution, Um that that we
- 39:58Speaker 1: say we're gonna do whatever, stand, We're gonna take whatever protesting,
- 40:03Speaker 1: which is what makes this country great. You've been ability
- 40:06Speaker 1: to do that. Um, well, they're missing a playoff game
- 40:09Speaker 1: or a practice whatever, or the conversation that Doug is
- 40:13Speaker 1: gonna facilitate to have those conversations. Those are all good,
- 40:16Speaker 1: but they have to lead to some action. Um, that
- 40:19Speaker 1: initiated change in my opinion. Let's move along now. Of
- 40:28Speaker 1: course we've we've discussed this at good length today and
- 40:32Speaker 1: these discussions will continue on this program certainly. Um, the
- 40:37Speaker 1: guys were and Logs, you and I were just touched
- 40:39Speaker 1: on this. We're two weeks away from football Thursday night.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Football is two weeks away. Um, so what's in your
- 40:47Speaker 1: guys opinion, what's left for this team to get done
- 40:50Speaker 1: in camp? What is the most pressing issue on the
- 40:53Speaker 1: field for this team? Logs will start with you with
- 40:56Speaker 1: two weeks to go, a little over two weeks until
- 40:58Speaker 1: opening day. I think offensively, it's all about timing and
- 41:04Speaker 1: comfort level and kind of having that relationship between your
- 41:09Speaker 1: quarterback and all of his weapons to where there's a
- 41:12Speaker 1: comfort level of knowing between and this is both ways
- 41:15Speaker 1: now to where Gardner knows where his guys are gonna
- 41:18Speaker 1: be at and they have an expectation where he wants
- 41:21Speaker 1: them to be at. So and this is something that
- 41:23Speaker 1: I mean, even though you sit there and you go, boy,
- 41:25Speaker 1: they've been in camp a long time and they've been
- 41:27Speaker 1: practicing a long time, they really haven't. And that's one
- 41:30Speaker 1: of the things I think. You go back to the
- 41:33Speaker 1: one of the most efficient offenses that had incredible timing.
- 41:36Speaker 1: You go back to the San Francisco forty Niners when
- 41:38Speaker 1: they were great under Bill Walsh and continuing on a
- 41:42Speaker 1: little bit under George Seyffert, and they just had so
- 41:45Speaker 1: many reps and reps and reps and reps, and that
- 41:47Speaker 1: was what was one of their big things. And practice
- 41:49Speaker 1: was reps because the more reps you get, the better
- 41:52Speaker 1: the timing is and the better the efficiency of the
- 41:55Speaker 1: offense is. And so as an offense, I mean, look,
- 41:57Speaker 1: the Jaguars got lots of work still to do, lots
- 42:01Speaker 1: of work still do because if you take anto account
- 42:03Speaker 1: the amount of time that they missed from the O
- 42:05Speaker 1: t s to the mini camps, et cetera. And now
- 42:08Speaker 1: they're trying to make up for lost time here in
- 42:10Speaker 1: this abbreviated training camp that doesn't have any preseason games.
- 42:14Speaker 1: That's a challenge, big challenge. But they got a lot
- 42:16Speaker 1: of work to do offensively. Uh, defensively, they may have
- 42:20Speaker 1: some work to do from a personnel standpoint, we don't
- 42:22Speaker 1: know that along the defensive front, but they certainly got
- 42:26Speaker 1: a lot of work to do there with a lot
- 42:28Speaker 1: of young players. They've got a new linebacker, got a
- 42:30Speaker 1: young cornerback. I mean, there's a lot of things to
- 42:33Speaker 1: figure out defensively. So still, uh, the the hey JP
- 42:37Speaker 1: is not necessarily in the barn yet, and they still
- 42:41Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do, Tony. That's a
- 42:44Speaker 1: long list of things. Yeah, Jeff, if you say the
- 42:49Speaker 1: haze in the barn yet, I think they're still cutting it.
- 42:51Speaker 1: I think they're still gonna feel cutting forget about getting
- 42:53Speaker 1: into the bailing it and get into the barn. We're
- 42:56Speaker 1: at the beginning stages of this thing. I mean, I
- 42:59Speaker 1: think we fore get I mean, it's um this offseason
- 43:02Speaker 1: has been so crazy. We forget that the second year quarterback,
- 43:05Speaker 1: rand new offensive corps. They're trying to put an offense
- 43:07Speaker 1: in on the run and Jeff, as I know you
- 43:10Speaker 1: do the same as I do. As I was watching
- 43:12Speaker 1: the tape today on the iPad and you go click
- 43:16Speaker 1: and you find the practice. This is the tenth training
- 43:18Speaker 1: cap practice ten. That was. That was week one of
- 43:23Speaker 1: camp for us. And that's after O, T A S
- 43:27Speaker 1: and mini camps, all things they did not have this year.
- 43:30Speaker 1: That is day ten. Uh. And some of those practices
- 43:34Speaker 1: are abbreviated because of you know how they had to
- 43:37Speaker 1: work their way in. I think there were ninety minute
- 43:39Speaker 1: patted practices so and and then you have on top
- 43:42Speaker 1: of that you have maintenance days for guys. So I
- 43:45Speaker 1: think we have a long way to go in a
- 43:48Speaker 1: short time to get there. Is the old movie Smoking
- 43:50Speaker 1: in the Bandit and and and I think Jeff's right,
- 43:54Speaker 1: it's timing with the young quarterback. Um. You know, you
- 43:58Speaker 1: have young players sinal As a rookie that looks like
- 44:01Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, they're gonna count on him a guy.
- 44:04Speaker 1: And Tyler Ifford brand New um has never worked with
- 44:07Speaker 1: the quarterback, you know, so you have a number of
- 44:09Speaker 1: new pieces now you're gonna have to have that. I
- 44:12Speaker 1: think one of the keys guys is gonna be that
- 44:13Speaker 1: offensive line, they're gonna have to play well. The offensive
- 44:16Speaker 1: line is gonna have to play well, and they're gonna
- 44:17Speaker 1: have to run the ball learning for net because I
- 44:19Speaker 1: know we love all we all love Minsheu and minshew
- 44:21Speaker 1: magic and I'm all for it, like dialed up, let's
- 44:24Speaker 1: get the magic going and let's watch this thing go.
- 44:27Speaker 1: The bottom line is it's gonna take time, and it's
- 44:30Speaker 1: not gonna be perfect early. Now. The good news is,
- 44:34Speaker 1: you hope you run into some other teams that are
- 44:35Speaker 1: very disorganized and have growing pains at the same time,
- 44:38Speaker 1: and you kind of get some sloppy plays and you
- 44:40Speaker 1: get some big players offensively. But for the consistency part
- 44:44Speaker 1: of it, they're gonna have to get the run game
- 44:46Speaker 1: going and they're gonna have to get you know that.
- 44:49Speaker 1: That means that starts with the offensive line and then
- 44:51Speaker 1: it goes right to fortnit afterwards. And so I think
- 44:54Speaker 1: that is so critical on that side of the ball.
- 44:56Speaker 1: And then I mean, Jeff, we haven't even talked about
- 44:58Speaker 1: the defense. I mean, you can go down the list
- 44:59Speaker 1: of turns and things as far as still trying to
- 45:02Speaker 1: get ready, and I think it starts with the front
- 45:04Speaker 1: seven um and I'll even boil it down and starts
- 45:07Speaker 1: with the front four, and I'll even go narrower, narrower
- 45:09Speaker 1: than that. It starts with the inside too. You know,
- 45:13Speaker 1: I think the middle of that defense is going to
- 45:15Speaker 1: get stressed, and it already is stressed with injuries and
- 45:18Speaker 1: opt outs and everything else. And uh, and they're gonna
- 45:22Speaker 1: have to stop the run. And so it's funny you
- 45:24Speaker 1: talked about all the things and all the fun pieces,
- 45:26Speaker 1: and we have some fun pieces are putting together. It
- 45:30Speaker 1: comes down the good old thing that all football come
- 45:32Speaker 1: down to, my opinion, can you control the line of scrimmage?
- 45:34Speaker 1: Can you stop to run and run the ball? Because
- 45:37Speaker 1: you can't do either one of those. It is so
- 45:39Speaker 1: hard to win in this league. J P. Let me
- 45:44Speaker 1: let me add something to what what Tony is talking about,
- 45:46Speaker 1: because you know, you sit there and you and you think,
- 45:48Speaker 1: Tony about how this football team still has a ways
- 45:51Speaker 1: to go. You know what was we had the benefit
- 45:53Speaker 1: when you had preseason games. You kind of had a gauge,
- 45:57Speaker 1: you know, because you go against another opponent and you
- 46:00Speaker 1: get feedback, you know, where are we at as a team?
- 46:03Speaker 1: You know, where's our run defense at, where's our past offense?
- 46:06Speaker 1: At you know, how do we measure up against this
- 46:08Speaker 1: team even though we're just playing basic preseason football. Well,
- 46:12Speaker 1: the one thing I think that's challenging, you're not getting that,
- 46:15Speaker 1: you know. So are you maybe getting a uh, false
- 46:19Speaker 1: sense of security thinking that, Okay, you know, we're doing
- 46:23Speaker 1: pretty good in this area, or you may be getting
- 46:26Speaker 1: a false sense of the opposite and that, hey, you know,
- 46:29Speaker 1: we're probably not doing very good in this area, but
- 46:31Speaker 1: maybe you aren't doing okay. But it's it's hard because
- 46:34Speaker 1: you know, if you just have home homework and homework
- 46:37Speaker 1: and homework and you never have a test, how do
- 46:39Speaker 1: you know? You know? So I think that's what's gonna
- 46:42Speaker 1: make this season and this football team so intriguing because
- 46:47Speaker 1: you just you have no idea. I mean you really don't.
- 46:49Speaker 1: I mean you haven't had and not that we were
- 46:51Speaker 1: able to judge where a team was at in the
- 46:53Speaker 1: preseason anyway, I mean because a lot of times the
- 46:55Speaker 1: preseason can give you another total false sense of security.
- 46:59Speaker 1: Going back a few years ago, Tony and I both
- 47:02Speaker 1: were sitting there going put this team in bubble rapp
- 47:04Speaker 1: They're ready to go, and then they come out in
- 47:05Speaker 1: the regular season and complete a Nutter failure. But but
- 47:10Speaker 1: a lot of the just the individual players and where
- 47:14Speaker 1: they are. That's where you you can I think you
- 47:16Speaker 1: got a pretty good understanding. Not maybe not as a team,
- 47:20Speaker 1: but you can certainly gauge ex player against another team
- 47:24Speaker 1: in a certain situation. And you don't get that benefit now.
- 47:28Speaker 1: Well us Jeff as a player, I enjoyed, Like I
- 47:30Speaker 1: didn't want four preseason games. I didn't really want two
- 47:33Speaker 1: preseason games, but like two series, three series, maybe a
- 47:37Speaker 1: quarter and a half out they're working against someone else,
- 47:39Speaker 1: kind of gets your sea legs ready and you know,
- 47:41Speaker 1: get a little bit of work. I always thought that
- 47:43Speaker 1: was nice because after camp. I mean I'll think back
- 47:46Speaker 1: when even as a young player, you and I were
- 47:48Speaker 1: practicing against each other. Heck, after the first week, I
- 47:51Speaker 1: knew what movie you're gonna do, and I knew that
- 47:52Speaker 1: what you like? Do you like to chop? And you
- 47:54Speaker 1: know you're gonna change it up every once in a
- 47:56Speaker 1: while with the bullet inside move. And I mean I
- 47:58Speaker 1: knew who Jeff Walking was. So I aren't setting and
- 48:00Speaker 1: doing things to block deth Logman. Well, now all of
- 48:03Speaker 1: a sudden you're blocking you know, you know, a speed
- 48:06Speaker 1: rusher a light guy who's outside running a hundred miles
- 48:09Speaker 1: an hour. Like it's just nice to get a different
- 48:12Speaker 1: feel and see a different guy across from you in
- 48:14Speaker 1: a game situation, because like game situations as an offensive linement,
- 48:19Speaker 1: I'll speak for me. Like in practice, I knew like
- 48:22Speaker 1: Logs wasn't gonna hit the quarterback because if he did,
- 48:25Speaker 1: there was gonna be a big fight, and I was
- 48:27Speaker 1: gonna whip. As we're entitt in the quarterback in a game,
- 48:30Speaker 1: you know, it's live, you're going, you're going through the whistle.
- 48:32Speaker 1: I just I think that that stuff matters, And especially
- 48:36Speaker 1: for a young team. Now if we're talking about you know,
- 48:39Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger and a veteran offensive
- 48:43Speaker 1: line like the castro and pouncing and these guys have
- 48:45Speaker 1: been around forever. You know, I'm not as concerned like
- 48:49Speaker 1: you'd like it. But these guys will figure it out
- 48:51Speaker 1: and get through it maybe a little bit better. Um,
- 48:54Speaker 1: but we got such a young team and you know,
- 48:56Speaker 1: and so there's gonna be some growing pains and they
- 48:58Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do, and they got
- 48:59Speaker 1: a short you know, not a lot of time to
- 49:00Speaker 1: get there. And opening weekend. I'm looking. I can't wait.
- 49:05Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun, but it's gonna be interesting because
- 49:07Speaker 1: I have no idea what to expect. I don't think
- 49:11Speaker 1: any of us do. But I know one thing. You
- 49:13Speaker 1: you misspoke there, Tony. You said you blocked Jeff Loghuman,
- 49:16Speaker 1: and we all know that Jeff Loghuman is unblockable, okay, JP.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Tony was being nice and he said, okay, I got
- 49:25Speaker 1: used to blocking Logoman. He was. If he was being
- 49:28Speaker 1: totally honest, he would have said, I needed to get
- 49:31Speaker 1: a guy that had more speed and had more power
- 49:34Speaker 1: so that I could get used to seeing other guys
- 49:36Speaker 1: around the National Football League. And for me, I wanted
- 49:39Speaker 1: to see an offensive tackle that I could beat so
- 49:42Speaker 1: I could get some continents scoring into the season. No,
- 49:47Speaker 1: but it's but it all joke aside, Like like Logs,
- 49:49Speaker 1: I was like, like I would set with when I
- 49:52Speaker 1: blocked blog I was not set in deep like Logs,
- 49:55Speaker 1: like he's never beating me around the corner. Like it
- 49:57Speaker 1: was like never even worried about it. I mean, like
- 49:59Speaker 1: I do. I was athletic enough to recover, but I
- 50:02Speaker 1: did worry about I better play my hand slow because
- 50:04Speaker 1: he's gonna try to chop the crap out of him
- 50:07Speaker 1: and use leverage. And I knew that I better be
- 50:10Speaker 1: ready for the ball, which, by the way, Logs, you
- 50:12Speaker 1: couldn't do that bull anymore with the new rules that
- 50:14Speaker 1: just came out. How they're gonna emphasize defensive linement lower
- 50:17Speaker 1: in the head the bull rush. And so, dude, I
- 50:20Speaker 1: mean and so, but I knew that was one of
- 50:22Speaker 1: the things Logs was gonna do. And but and that
- 50:25Speaker 1: was great work. But you also know you're gonna face
- 50:28Speaker 1: all different kinds of guys. And listen, it's never perfect
- 50:32Speaker 1: in training camp. But if you look in the past,
- 50:35Speaker 1: even last year for this team, you got to go
- 50:37Speaker 1: to Baltimore, you got the preseason, your practice against other teams.
- 50:42Speaker 1: I mean, those are all valuable situations for two things.
- 50:46Speaker 1: One guy's get ready to play a game. But I
- 50:48Speaker 1: think we're also discounting for a coaching staff in a
- 50:53Speaker 1: front office to evaluate your roster, like I have no
- 50:57Speaker 1: idea watching the practices that I've watched, how are you
- 51:00Speaker 1: gonna how are you gonna evaluate that bottom ten? You know,
- 51:03Speaker 1: so from from forty five to fifty five of your
- 51:06Speaker 1: roster this year? And I mean Joe D. Camillets has
- 51:09Speaker 1: a tough job to build the special teams out to
- 51:12Speaker 1: find those guys, um because you usually find those guys
- 51:17Speaker 1: in preseason. All right, let's come back in a moment.

- 55:06Speaker 1: Final moments, J P. Shadrick, Jeff Flagman, Tony Boselli. Let's
- 55:10Speaker 1: go around the National Football League quickly and start in Washington,
- 55:14Speaker 1: where a lot of news has come out of that
- 55:16Speaker 1: city in the NFL in the last six months. Especially
- 55:20Speaker 1: The Post on Wednesday reported additional examples of workplace sexual
- 55:24Speaker 1: harassment and made allegations and owner Dan Snyder was personally
- 55:28Speaker 1: involved and reported a former cheerleader said that Snyder had
- 55:33Speaker 1: invited her to a hotel room with one of his friends.
- 55:35Speaker 1: There were extra cheerleading videos made especially for the owner.
- 55:39Speaker 1: Snyder has since released a statement denying those allegations. Tony, Yeah,
- 55:44Speaker 1: I mean a lot of smoke coming out of Washington,
- 55:49Speaker 1: Washington football team, and my guess is if the NFL
- 55:53Speaker 1: digs into this and they come up with anything, uh
- 55:56Speaker 1: that any of this is true based off the investigation
- 56:00Speaker 1: are doing, You're gonna see Daniel Snyder forced to sell
- 56:03Speaker 1: or pressure pressure to sell. UM. I just don't think. Listen,
- 56:06Speaker 1: number one, it's wrong. You know, in a leadership position,
- 56:11Speaker 1: you should not use that influence to try to get
- 56:14Speaker 1: um any sort of sexual favors or harassment or anything
- 56:20Speaker 1: like that. It's uncalled for it, there's no place for it.
- 56:22Speaker 1: And I think if it is true, we'll wait and see,
- 56:25Speaker 1: you know, and it's until prove be guilty. UM. I
- 56:28Speaker 1: think there'll be so much pressure and he'll have to
- 56:30Speaker 1: sell the team. Yeah, just a real, real quick thought
- 56:34Speaker 1: on that JP. Obviously, Daniel Snyder has denied the allegations.
- 56:39Speaker 1: The big concern there for me is that the league
- 56:43Speaker 1: has allowed the Redskins to do their own investigation. And
- 56:46Speaker 1: how in the world can an investigation be impartial if
- 56:49Speaker 1: it's done by the team. So it's a good point, yep.
- 56:52Speaker 1: I think I think if if the league was smart,
- 56:55Speaker 1: they'd get their own investigator in there immediately and do
- 56:59Speaker 1: an independent investigation. You can't let the guy pick the
- 57:02Speaker 1: guy who's gonna investigate him, That's right. And we'll see
- 57:07Speaker 1: what the next steps are in Washington. Back to football now,
- 57:10Speaker 1: Joe Mixon out of practice with migrains. But Joe Mixon
- 57:14Speaker 1: also wants a new contract and does not have it.
- 57:17Speaker 1: You had. He missed practice Wednesday, not planning on practicing Thursday.
- 57:21Speaker 1: But he has consecutive seasons, three straight seasons of thousand
- 57:25Speaker 1: yards rushing. Joe Mixon is one of the top running
- 57:28Speaker 1: backs right Tony. Yeah, I think I don't know if
- 57:32Speaker 1: he's one of the top, Like, I don't think he's
- 57:34Speaker 1: he's not Alvin Camaro to me. Um, he's not the
- 57:39Speaker 1: cat Free to me. I'm not sure he's Dalvin cooked
- 57:42Speaker 1: to me. Because I think he's a he's a good
- 57:44Speaker 1: running back. I don't know if he's great out of
- 57:46Speaker 1: the backfield. I don't And Jeff, maybe you can correct
- 57:49Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, But I don't see him as
- 57:50Speaker 1: a great pass catcher. And I think to be a
- 57:53Speaker 1: great back that I'm gonna pay a bunch of money to,
- 57:55Speaker 1: you have to be multi pascitt I mean, you have
- 57:58Speaker 1: to really be able to stress at the vince in
- 58:01Speaker 1: different ways. And so, um, he's a good player, depends
- 58:05Speaker 1: how much money he wants is what I'm gonna pay
- 58:06Speaker 1: or not. That's a tough position to to try to
- 58:11Speaker 1: kind of create your own leverage to get a contract.
- 58:13Speaker 1: And uh, by the way, JP, I'm starting to get
- 58:16Speaker 1: a headache. Can can you and Tony handle the doun
- 58:20Speaker 1: Morone show? Do you want any contract to? Oh? I'm
- 58:30Speaker 1: probably overpaid already. Let's let's one more note here before
- 58:37Speaker 1: we get out of here. UM. Bengals cornerback Mackenzie Alexander's
- 58:40Speaker 1: father was found alive after three days missing. He had
- 58:45Speaker 1: been missing since Monday night after a berry picking trip
- 58:48Speaker 1: down in southwest Florida. He walked up to a ranger
- 58:51Speaker 1: station at the Kasimi Prairie Preserve State Park at seven
- 58:54Speaker 1: am and good health. And that's great news, guys. Yeah,
- 58:58Speaker 1: I love I love the asked, like the question, like
- 59:00Speaker 1: what you do for three days? Like where were you? Like,
- 59:03Speaker 1: I mean, he's out And here's the industry biggest son
- 59:07Speaker 1: left practice. He went down and there's an assault charge
- 59:11Speaker 1: against him for him going after the last man who
- 59:14Speaker 1: saw his dad. So crazy story. I mean, you wonder
- 59:17Speaker 1: if you ever actually get to the bottom of it.
- 59:20Speaker 1: It was and we know he had berries to eat,
- 59:22Speaker 1: that's for sure. So he made it through a very
- 59:25Speaker 1: picking trip, but good news that he's alive. Logs will
- 59:28Speaker 1: talk to you the second Bob. We'll talk to you
- 59:29Speaker 1: next week, Tony and Jeff Logan. I'm J P. Shadrick.
