- 1:34Speaker 4: about that. And yeah, still doing the whole MMA thing
- 1:37Speaker 4: like this is what happens when you hate golf. You
- 1:39Speaker 4: have to find other hobbies to do. And thankfully mma
- 1:42Speaker 4: and fighting kind of went hand in hand with football,
- 1:44Speaker 4: so it worked out pretty well. We're in the media world.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Here in Jacksonville.
- 1:48Speaker 2: I was told to say the Brenton Austin Show five times.
- 1:52Speaker 2: The first time I said it today on Twitter, I said,
- 1:54Speaker 2: what is the Brenton Austin Show?
- 1:56Speaker 3: So that's one out of the way. That's one out
- 1:57Speaker 3: of the way.
- 1:58Speaker 4: I probably have to mention a couple of times, my
- 2:00Speaker 4: sou But Brent's gonna learn what a what freelancer means
- 2:03Speaker 4: really quick here as I'm on this show right now.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, and hey, if the check keeps coming.
- 2:08Speaker 2: They do all you can. There's some doubt about that. Yeah,
- 2:11Speaker 2: good to have you here, though.
- 2:12Speaker 3: It's uh.
- 2:12Speaker 2: We get to hang out on a practice field some
- 2:14Speaker 2: when you're around. But I don't know if we've ever
- 2:17Speaker 2: actually done a program together.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Well, I mean, JP, this has been a long time coming.
- 2:21Speaker 4: As someone who put in many hours at the you know,
- 2:23Speaker 4: drinking establishments around Jacksonville, it's only right come on Happy
- 2:27Speaker 4: Hour now.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you're pointing with.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Me trying to send the show in general Happy Hour
- 2:31Speaker 2: unsweet and nice sea.
- 2:32Speaker 3: I'm in bed by nine there every night. I am
- 2:35Speaker 3: now too. But back in the day, though, you.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Know, it was one thing that may or may not
- 2:39Speaker 2: be who knows. Of course, you're you're finding you with
- 2:41Speaker 2: the Jags was twenty twelve. That was my first year
- 2:44Speaker 2: with the Jaguars. We go back that far at least. Uh,
- 2:48Speaker 2: we've got a free agent talk coming up. We'll get
- 2:50Speaker 2: to some of these mock drafts coming up. A former
- 2:53Speaker 2: teammate of yours is getting another honor in college. I
- 2:55Speaker 2: don't know if you guys talked about this today or not.
- 2:57Speaker 3: We did not know.
- 2:58Speaker 4: I think our producer needs to do a better job
- 3:00Speaker 4: of getting our stories right here?
- 3:01Speaker 3: What do we got.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Justin Blackman was inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Yeah, fairly recently.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be inducted into the Oklahoma State Ring of Honor.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Good for him, how about that?
- 3:12Speaker 4: Justin listen man, I understand that here in Jacksonville didn't
- 3:16Speaker 4: have the career that he wanted. But in terms, there's
- 3:19Speaker 4: a locker room guy, just a guy that you know,
- 3:21Speaker 4: you see every single day, like I did, one of
- 3:23Speaker 4: the most first of all humble and most salts of
- 3:25Speaker 4: the earth dudes you're ever gonna meet, you know. I
- 3:27Speaker 4: remember watching him in practice thinking like, this guy's gonna
- 3:31Speaker 4: be something special, you know. And then obviously, boy it
- 3:34Speaker 4: stood out too. Yeah, it stood out the time. Yeah,
- 3:37Speaker 4: and just naturally gifted, you know. And I think Cecil
- 3:40Speaker 4: Schwartz told me this one time, is that there's just
- 3:42Speaker 4: some guys where when you're running those routes, you know
- 3:45Speaker 4: that they try really hard and they have their cuts
- 3:47Speaker 4: and everything, and then they exhaust themselves to try to
- 3:49Speaker 4: get open. And then there's some guys that you see
- 3:52Speaker 4: wide receiver where it's natural, like where they're just meant
- 3:55Speaker 4: to do it. And Justin Blackman man, if you remember
- 3:57Speaker 4: him playing and obviously in practice too, it just everything
- 4:01Speaker 4: came so natural to him, and just it's a shame
- 4:03Speaker 4: that we didn't to see more of it.
- 4:05Speaker 2: And if it was within five feet of him, he's
- 4:07Speaker 2: catching the football. I mean catch radius was insane. Yeah,
- 4:10Speaker 2: without a doubt, and I always was.
- 4:12Speaker 4: And listen, I mean a fun fact about Justin Blackman too,
- 4:14Speaker 4: is that guy could put more dip in his lip
- 4:16Speaker 4: than anybody had ever seen before.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Man talk, that's what you expect. I'm from Wisconsin.
- 4:22Speaker 4: We would do a little bit there too, But I mean,
- 4:24Speaker 4: this dude like he always had one ready to go.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Man. Yeah, absolutely, And there.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Was some obviously some big moments on the field, but
- 4:30Speaker 2: unfortunately just didn't last long enough here. But congratulations to
- 4:33Speaker 2: Justin who was at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony
- 4:37Speaker 2: and I guess that was last fall and he'll be
- 4:39Speaker 2: in the Ring of Honor at Oklahoma State coming up.
- 4:43Speaker 2: All right, let's uh, free agency is not done. It's
- 4:46Speaker 2: never done. It only begins at the start of the
- 4:49Speaker 2: league year. The Jags were active right there out of
- 4:52Speaker 2: the gate in the negotiation period this year, and they've
- 4:56Speaker 2: been really quiet after that. One signing after those first
- 5:00Speaker 2: wave of free agency. So now ten new players have
- 5:04Speaker 2: come in. So the question for you, Austin, Yes, a couple.
- 5:08Speaker 2: I got a lot of questions for you. What free
- 5:11Speaker 2: agent will have the greatest impact on this team in
- 5:14Speaker 2: twenty twenty five.
- 5:15Speaker 4: So it's funny because we talk about free agency and
- 5:18Speaker 4: it always seems like the team that spends the most
- 5:20Speaker 4: money is going to the super Bowl, right, Like that's
- 5:22Speaker 4: the that's how fan bases want to treat Yeah.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Right, Fortunately, we know that's not how that works. That's
- 5:27Speaker 3: not how it works sometimes.
- 5:29Speaker 4: But to answer your question of who I think is
- 5:30Speaker 4: going to have the biggest impact, you know, I think
- 5:33Speaker 4: a guy that you got to keep in mind here
- 5:35Speaker 4: is Jordan Lewis for a couple of reasons, the corner
- 5:38Speaker 4: from the cow the corner from the Cowboys.
- 5:40Speaker 3: Now.
- 5:40Speaker 4: When he was brought in here, the first thing that
- 5:42Speaker 4: people were saying is what happens to Jerry and Jones now?
- 5:45Speaker 3: Right?
- 5:45Speaker 4: And that's a legitimate question because this guy is a
- 5:47Speaker 4: slot specialist. He's a nickel specialist, plays on the inside
- 5:51Speaker 4: a little bit a lot where Jerry Jones likes to play,
- 5:53Speaker 4: a lot where Jerry Jones last year had some success,
- 5:57Speaker 4: So how are they going to work together?
- 5:59Speaker 3: Do you move Jerry Joe on the outside. That could
- 6:01Speaker 3: be a possibility.
- 6:02Speaker 4: But I think when we talk about Jordan Lewis of
- 6:04Speaker 4: what he brings to this team, obviously it's the presence
- 6:07Speaker 4: of being that nickel corner, but also it's leadership and
- 6:10Speaker 4: also its attitude. And that's why I think this defense
- 6:13Speaker 4: needs more than anything going to this new season is
- 6:15Speaker 4: more attitude and just more kind of having that dog
- 6:18Speaker 4: in you if you will. You know, it's one thing
- 6:20Speaker 4: if you're a defense and you're you're dominating every single play,
- 6:23Speaker 4: you can have a bunch of choir boys out there.
- 6:25Speaker 4: It's fine, but when you face adversity, you need those
- 6:28Speaker 4: guys that had that dog in him to kind of
- 6:29Speaker 4: come out and say, hey, we got to do better.
- 6:31Speaker 4: And I think Jordan Lewis can do that. And he's
- 6:33Speaker 4: a dog on the field, but also professional off the field.
- 6:37Speaker 4: He was voted i think in twenty twenty four he
- 6:39Speaker 4: was voted like mister cowboy, like mister good guy, whatever
- 6:42Speaker 4: you want to call it in the Dallas media. So
- 6:45Speaker 4: he knows how Yeah, so he knows how to be
- 6:48Speaker 4: a professional outside of the field obviously, but when he
- 6:51Speaker 4: gets up between those white lines, he's a dog.
- 6:53Speaker 2: And he said in his press conference he's not afraid
- 6:56Speaker 2: to chirp, and when he gets out there, he's gonna
- 6:59Speaker 2: let the other guy know he out there too.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:01Speaker 2: That can be a good thing if it's goes the
- 7:03Speaker 2: right way and helps you play better.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Right, I mean, it's a good thing if you can
- 7:07Speaker 3: back it up. Yeah.
- 7:08Speaker 4: And obviously he's been in the league for a while now,
- 7:10Speaker 4: he's well respected amongst his peers, So I think, like,
- 7:13Speaker 4: if you're willing to chart man, you're willing to kind
- 7:15Speaker 4: of put on the line.
- 7:16Speaker 3: You got to back it up. And I think Jordan
- 7:18Speaker 3: Lewis backs it up.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Another big piece of this free agency, all the signings,
- 7:22Speaker 2: at least as a whole, is the I mean statement
- 7:25Speaker 2: I think they made about the offensive line for offensive
- 7:29Speaker 2: line signings so far in free agency.
- 7:32Speaker 3: I'm gonna guess.
- 7:33Speaker 2: They're gonna do some more work on this at some point,
- 7:35Speaker 2: if it's not free agency than in the draft, because
- 7:39Speaker 2: that was a focal point of a lot of contention
- 7:42Speaker 2: for this team in the last couple of.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Years, especially in short yardage.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Unable to get things done inconsistency in the passing game
- 7:50Speaker 2: started there a lot of times. They've had some injuries
- 7:52Speaker 2: up there, some older players. Well, now you're gonna bring
- 7:55Speaker 2: some new faces in here. It's gonna make some players uncomfortable,
- 7:58Speaker 2: I'm sure, but you gotta get better.
- 8:01Speaker 4: There's gonna be some competition, right, and competition always brings
- 8:04Speaker 4: out the best in everybody, or if you can't handle it,
- 8:06Speaker 4: it's to the wayside, you go. I think we look
- 8:09Speaker 4: at what Liam Cohen's trying to do here. You talk
- 8:11Speaker 4: about a guy in Tampa Bay last year who had
- 8:13Speaker 4: a very dynamic offense, was predicated on the run game,
- 8:16Speaker 4: but also had Mike Evans and Chris Godwin helps. Both
- 8:18Speaker 4: those guys went down for a little bit though, Chris
- 8:20Speaker 4: Godwin for the year, Mike Evans for a couple of weeks.
- 8:22Speaker 4: So what was the calling card of the Tampa Buccaneers.
- 8:25Speaker 4: It was Bucky irving in the ability to run the
- 8:27Speaker 4: football with those big guys up front. So I think
- 8:29Speaker 4: Liam Cohen is obviously a huge fan of offensive lineman
- 8:33Speaker 4: guys that I think you can kind of have swing
- 8:34Speaker 4: tackles and all of that, and it's something to watch
- 8:37Speaker 4: for in the draft as well, because keeping Trevor Lawrence
- 8:40Speaker 4: upright being able to run the football, are gonna be
- 8:42Speaker 4: two keys to the Draguars this up and coming season.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Fifty million a year. You better keep him up right.
- 8:47Speaker 3: You better. What happened Andrew Luck? Right? I mean he
- 8:50Speaker 3: he was so beat up at Indy. You know what,
- 8:54Speaker 3: I'm out of here. I can't do this. Yeah, you
- 8:55Speaker 3: don't want that to happen? No, I mean, well, I'm
- 8:57Speaker 3: not gonna lie.
- 8:58Speaker 4: When we played against the Colts, when I was still
- 8:59Speaker 4: play we wanted that to happen.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Oh yes, you know what I'm saying.
- 9:02Speaker 4: Because when you go from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck Like,
- 9:06Speaker 4: it wasn't a good time.
- 9:07Speaker 3: JP. You know what I'm saying.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Like we had Manning, you know Colin, every one of
- 9:11Speaker 4: our plays on defense out and then you have you know,
- 9:13Speaker 4: the golden child that is Andrew Luck Like we just
- 9:16Speaker 4: wanted to break sometimes from great quarterback play from the Colts.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Yeah. They're just now starting to get out of that.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean where is this when I was playing, right, Richardson,
- 9:25Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Now they got competitions and old guys coming Daniel Jones,
- 9:30Speaker 2: and I mean that's a different world these days, you know.
- 9:34Speaker 2: And then of course the other free agent sign is
- 9:35Speaker 2: a couple of tight ends Johnny Munt Hunter Long from
- 9:38Speaker 2: the Vikings and Rams, guys who know the offensive idea.
- 9:41Speaker 2: And that's a question we won't really have an answer
- 9:44Speaker 2: to until they start playing I think, real football games.
- 9:47Speaker 3: But what is this really?
- 9:50Speaker 2: What will this really be modeled after? More kind of
- 9:53Speaker 2: Udinsky's Minnesota or Liam Cohen's Buccaneers and Rams days, a mix.
- 9:58Speaker 3: Of both probably, But what does that even mean? And
- 10:02Speaker 3: how do you figure that out? Yeah?
- 10:03Speaker 4: You know, I mean when I think of up great offenses,
- 10:05Speaker 4: you think of Sean McVay, right, and you look at
- 10:08Speaker 4: what they did in Tampa Bay last year, and there's
- 10:09Speaker 4: some similarities. Like we think of Sean mcvay's offense, we
- 10:13Speaker 4: think of all right, it's built behind Matthew Stafford and
- 10:15Speaker 4: Cooper Cup and Pooka Nakua. They can run the football too, right,
- 10:18Speaker 4: And Kylin Williams for the Ram is one of the
- 10:20Speaker 4: most underrated running backs in all of football. So I
- 10:23Speaker 4: think when you look at what the goal is gonna
- 10:25Speaker 4: be here, you you have a guy and well you
- 10:28Speaker 4: have two guys. You have Tank Bigsby, you have Travis
- 10:30Speaker 4: etn two guys that can do different types of things
- 10:33Speaker 4: but can be pretty dynamic in offenses. I think it's
- 10:36Speaker 4: gonna be predicated off of running football first and passing second.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, they need to do that. You gotta go
- 10:44Speaker 3: do it.
- 10:45Speaker 4: And keep in mind, I'm very old school, right, so
- 10:47Speaker 4: I always think like that, the game's won and lost
- 10:49Speaker 4: in the trenches, right, Like my cost on the other show,
- 10:51Speaker 4: Brett Martineau gets so tired of me saying this, But
- 10:54Speaker 4: the game is won and lost up front, right, So
- 10:56Speaker 4: if you can run the football, you got a pretty
- 10:58Speaker 4: good chance of winning.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Just Saequon Barkley and the Eagles this year. Absolutely, Why
- 11:02Speaker 3: would he get tired of that? By the way, Brent
- 11:04Speaker 3: knows better than that. I mean, I just he knows
- 11:07Speaker 3: who's running the show over here. By the way, I
- 11:10Speaker 3: mean the new.
- 11:10Speaker 4: EVP over here. Yeah, you better believe it. Many. I
- 11:14Speaker 4: think me and Tony have a lot of things in common.
- 11:15Speaker 4: I'm not gonna run a marathon anytime soon like he
- 11:18Speaker 4: did back in the day. But I think when it
- 11:19Speaker 4: comes to winning football games, it is done in the
- 11:21Speaker 4: trunk hold.
- 11:22Speaker 3: On we Bury the lead. Tony ran a marathon.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Didn't Tony Paseli run a marathon like way back in
- 11:27Speaker 4: the day when he rere tired.
- 11:28Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he did. Maybe he did.
- 11:30Speaker 2: I don't think he can anymore because the second hip
- 11:33Speaker 2: replacement in the way of that.
- 11:36Speaker 4: No, but I'm pretty sure back in the day Tony
- 11:38Speaker 4: Baseli ran a marathon.
- 11:39Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, I can see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 11:43Speaker 3: this is a long time. I'm getting off on a
- 11:45Speaker 3: tamil coming. Well, we'll get plenty of ahead here.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Early in my time, I challenged him to the five
- 11:51Speaker 2: k in the stadium. It's like almost a bit for
- 11:54Speaker 2: the what we're gonna cover it anyway, Yeah, I challenge
- 11:56Speaker 2: and I was running a little bit at the time,
- 11:58Speaker 2: you know, and I've I was with him for like
- 12:01Speaker 2: a half a mile, and then I was not. He
- 12:03Speaker 2: was just gone, isn't it. I was like, Oh, got
- 12:06Speaker 2: that long stretch. He's not some fat offensive line No, no, no.
- 12:09Speaker 3: He's an athlete as well. Now he beat me by
- 12:11Speaker 3: like six minutes or something.
- 12:13Speaker 4: So one of my best twenty best selling stories I've
- 12:15Speaker 4: ever had was so back in this was nineteen ninety five,
- 12:18Speaker 4: I believe, is when they went to Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Yes, that's where where my daycare was.
- 12:22Speaker 4: So as part of the little daycare field trip in
- 12:24Speaker 4: the summertime, I got to go check out one of
- 12:26Speaker 4: the very first Jaguars practices at UW Stevens Point. Now,
- 12:30Speaker 4: you know, I had my bike and everything, and I
- 12:32Speaker 4: got a program and lo and behold who's some of
- 12:34Speaker 4: the guys that signed it.
- 12:35Speaker 3: Well, Tony Bassli was one of them. Still still have
- 12:37Speaker 3: that program.
- 12:38Speaker 4: So I get drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars and you know,
- 12:40Speaker 4: I think ten ten xcel, you know, they want to
- 12:42Speaker 4: talk to me and everything, and Tony's not doing the
- 12:44Speaker 4: show there, and I go, hey, man, we've actually met
- 12:47Speaker 4: Because he's like, nice to meet you, Austin.
- 12:49Speaker 3: I go, well, surprising, we've.
- 12:50Speaker 4: Actually met before when I was in daycare back in
- 12:53Speaker 4: ninety five.
- 12:54Speaker 3: You actually signed my program.
- 12:55Speaker 4: And then obviously he had a few choice words for me,
- 12:57Speaker 4: saying like hey, thanks for making me feel super old
- 13:00Speaker 4: and everything. But yeah, that was that was the first
- 13:02Speaker 4: time I met Tony when I was man, I must
- 13:04Speaker 4: have been the first second.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Grade or something. Standing.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Yeah, there's still lower told of that training camp of
- 13:10Speaker 2: being like the hottest place on the planet.
- 13:12Speaker 3: I felt like you.
- 13:13Speaker 4: Left Jacksonville to try to get out of the out
- 13:14Speaker 4: of the out of the warm, and you came to
- 13:16Speaker 4: like maybe the hottest place in the United States that
- 13:18Speaker 4: year in Steven's Point, Wisconsin.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Now, do you have that program framed on the wall?
- 13:21Speaker 2: Like do you have it like there's a whole just
- 13:23Speaker 2: display Jaguars part of your Jaguar room. Do you have
- 13:25Speaker 2: it like a Jaguar room? How does this work? I mean,
- 13:28Speaker 2: I don't know you played it for three years. I
- 13:29Speaker 2: don't know an NFL room.
- 13:31Speaker 4: I mean so like he was talking like my room
- 13:33Speaker 4: back at my mom's house. Oh no, no, I mean
- 13:37Speaker 4: you have like I have, like a hangout room. Yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 4: I mean it's definitely a hangout room. There is football
- 13:42Speaker 4: stuff there, and the Jaguars are my team obviously, Like
- 13:44Speaker 4: I'm not going to claim the Bears, not going to
- 13:46Speaker 4: claim the Lions. Had a short stint with the Chiefs,
- 13:48Speaker 4: which would be nice to claim them, but no, I'm
- 13:50Speaker 4: I'm gonna claim the Jaguars all day. So there's some
- 13:52Speaker 4: there's some Jaguar stuff hanging out the program though that
- 13:55Speaker 4: I got signed for training camp. I think it's still
- 13:57Speaker 4: my mom's house. Okay, I'm sure she's scrappedook that probably
- 14:01Speaker 4: as moms do.
- 14:01Speaker 3: That's what they a lot of times do. Without a doubt.
- 14:04Speaker 2: We've got plenty ahead. We'll return in just a moment
- 14:07Speaker 2: and get into some of these mock drafts.
- 14:09Speaker 3: This mock draft season.
- 14:11Speaker 4: It is mock drafts. All about mock draft Sea. We
- 14:13Speaker 4: are suckers for mock drafts. On our show JP for sure.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna hit some of the guys that have
- 14:18Speaker 2: been mocked okay to the Jaguars and hit your thoughts
- 14:22Speaker 2: on a lot of those. We're on ten ten xl
- 14:24Speaker 2: AM Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube with Austin Lane.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I'm JP Shaddrick and this is Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 14:37Speaker 5: Yeah, we got ten picks in this year's draft.
- 14:40Speaker 3: We're gonna have to have some spots that are actually
- 14:42Speaker 3: open for them to insert.
- 14:44Speaker 5: So you know, if you add a veteran at this
- 14:47Speaker 5: point could be just standing in the way.
- 14:49Speaker 3: We're going to allow these rookies to you know.
- 14:51Speaker 5: Get a chance to get out on the field and
- 14:52Speaker 5: help us this coming fall.
- 14:55Speaker 2: James Gladstone, the Jaguars general manager, earlier in the right
- 14:59Speaker 2: after the start Free agency and welcome back. It's Jaguars
- 15:02Speaker 2: Happy Hour in Jaguars Football is presented by Fresh from Florida.
- 15:05Speaker 3: It's always in season.
- 15:06Speaker 2: JP Shadwick, Jeff logam An out today, Austin Lane is in.
- 15:12Speaker 3: I can't talk hunting or fishing. I'm sorry, Thank goodness,
- 15:17Speaker 3: I'm kidding. Of course, Saturday morning. Be careful.
- 15:22Speaker 2: No, he'll be back with his next so he's not
- 15:25Speaker 2: out for good. No, no, no, he's in next week.
- 15:29Speaker 2: What do you think of James Gladstone first impressions?
- 15:32Speaker 3: I like it.
- 15:32Speaker 4: Man. He comes from obviously in the Rams that have
- 15:35Speaker 4: done things different ways. They've they've built through free agency
- 15:39Speaker 4: and had success. They built through the draft and had success.
- 15:45Speaker 4: They know, I feel like, and this is just him,
- 15:47Speaker 4: but that that whole team in general. They know how
- 15:49Speaker 4: to find gems in later rounds, which is I think
- 15:51Speaker 4: what you need to be successful. Obviously, he's very young,
- 15:55Speaker 4: he's kind of coming into his own now as a GM.
- 15:57Speaker 4: I'm very curious to see how this first draft goes
- 15:59Speaker 4: for him. But I think there's a lot to like
- 16:01Speaker 4: about him. Thirty four years old. Yeah wow, yeah, yeah,
- 16:07Speaker 4: I mean i'd be like me off the street. A
- 16:08Speaker 4: couple of years ago, like, hey, you want to be
- 16:09Speaker 4: a GM Now, I'm all set. I'll just keep doing
- 16:13Speaker 4: mock drafts.
- 16:14Speaker 3: I love that.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Yeah, so as he said there, and that was, you know,
- 16:19Speaker 2: in reference to a question I believe about, hey, are
- 16:21Speaker 2: you gonna sign? Is there more free agency coming? Especially
- 16:25Speaker 2: like up front? Maybe we'll see, but at some point
- 16:28Speaker 2: the rookie is gonna have to play. So with all
- 16:31Speaker 2: these draft picks they have coming up, you're gonna draft
- 16:35Speaker 2: some of these guys pretty high. They got to get
- 16:36Speaker 2: them out on the field somehow too. So let's go through.
- 16:39Speaker 2: You know, it's mock draft season. It is mock draft season.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Is this your favorite season? Mock draft season?
- 16:45Speaker 3: It's one of them. I'm not gonna lie. I mean,
- 16:47Speaker 3: I think Christmas is still up there, but this is
- 16:49Speaker 3: it's like one A, one B.
- 16:50Speaker 4: You know, if you've been good or bad. It depends
- 16:52Speaker 4: if you've been good or bad. Thanksgivings up there as well.
- 16:55Speaker 4: But when we talk about mock draft season, I appreciate
- 16:57Speaker 4: it because I feel like everyone's got a voice, and
- 17:00Speaker 4: Ruin's mock draft is the.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Best mock draft. Where is it?
- 17:03Speaker 4: I mean, people are gonna tell you that, you know
- 17:05Speaker 4: what I'm saying, like with Gladstone, Like.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Yeah, in Gladstone, we trust in everything.
- 17:09Speaker 4: But there's like thirty people right now on Twitter posting
- 17:13Speaker 4: their mock draft saying, Hey, mister Gladstone, please look at
- 17:16Speaker 4: my mock draft.
- 17:16Speaker 3: That's what you have to do. James.
- 17:17Speaker 2: I get you're a genius and all, but I've got
- 17:20Speaker 2: a mock draft for you.
- 17:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:22Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I know you've been you know, you
- 17:23Speaker 4: earned your stripes and everything. You kind of like this,
- 17:27Speaker 4: you know, you're kind of like this wonder kin when
- 17:28Speaker 4: it comes to a GM. But blame me when I
- 17:31Speaker 4: say I've watched like two YouTube videos of highlights of
- 17:34Speaker 4: these players and I know.
- 17:35Speaker 3: What I'm talking about.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Well, let's beget this one because obviously the Jaguars have
- 17:39Speaker 2: the fifth pick. Yeah, you can't really control everything like
- 17:42Speaker 2: they've been able to do a couple of years in
- 17:44Speaker 2: a row in the past. Let's what would you really
- 17:49Speaker 2: want at five? If if all was fair and all
- 17:52Speaker 2: is clear, what are you going after at five?
- 17:55Speaker 3: Austin?
- 17:56Speaker 4: So if I'm going at five, you have to ask
- 17:59Speaker 4: yourself the question of what is the biggest need. Now
- 18:02Speaker 4: you have a guy in Travis Hunter who's kind of
- 18:04Speaker 4: like the that's like the sexy pick right, Like that's like, hey,
- 18:09Speaker 4: this is gonna Jersey sales. I mean, the dude's humble
- 18:12Speaker 4: is all get up, which makes zero sense to me
- 18:14Speaker 4: because you're supposed to be like an all Pro at
- 18:16Speaker 4: wide receiver and an all Pro at cornerback, like two
- 18:19Speaker 4: ego driven positions, and you're the most humble guy of
- 18:22Speaker 4: all time. Like if that was me, I'd be pulling
- 18:25Speaker 4: up in three Brinks trucks when training camp started. But
- 18:28Speaker 4: like Travis Hunter, for whatever reason, man that this dude,
- 18:30Speaker 4: like he's got a great head on his shoulders and
- 18:32Speaker 4: I like him a lot. Depends where you want to
- 18:35Speaker 4: play him. But I think if you look at what
- 18:37Speaker 4: this team needs, you talk about a guy in Campanelli
- 18:39Speaker 4: who comes from green Bay. If you look at what
- 18:41Speaker 4: green Bay does, and he comes from the coaching tree
- 18:43Speaker 4: of Vicvangeo. He was with him in Miami. I played
- 18:46Speaker 4: for Vic. The cool thing about playing for Vick is
- 18:49Speaker 4: is as a defensive lineman. Some defensive playbooks were like
- 18:54Speaker 4: you know, an Encyclopedia Britannica or like a phone book
- 18:57Speaker 4: from New York, and some playbooks were like just like
- 19:00Speaker 4: a like an I hot menu, just pretty pretty low key.
- 19:03Speaker 2: For young kids listening a full book where all the
- 19:06Speaker 2: numbers for people were listening.
- 19:09Speaker 4: Yeah, I forget we're streaming as well. Sorry, man, this
- 19:12Speaker 4: isn't the radio. Yes, yes, a very thick book nonetheless anymore. Yes,
- 19:16Speaker 4: but when we talk about Fangio's defense from a defensive
- 19:19Speaker 4: line standpoint, it was very simplistic because he always believed
- 19:23Speaker 4: in rushing four and I think Campanelli believes in that
- 19:26Speaker 4: same thing. If you look at last year where the
- 19:28Speaker 4: Jaguars had some problems, you have two great book nds
- 19:30Speaker 4: in Trayvon Walker and Joshua Hines Allen. The issue was
- 19:33Speaker 4: it was the interior push, right, And if the plan
- 19:36Speaker 4: is to rush four and you're not gonna blitz a lot,
- 19:38Speaker 4: and you're gonna rely on your secondary to kind of
- 19:41Speaker 4: different coverages and confuse. You know that it's this set
- 19:43Speaker 4: offense you're going against, you gotta have interior pass rush.
- 19:47Speaker 4: And that's where I think Mason Graham comes into play.
- 19:50Speaker 2: He he's got everything you want. Yeah, may not have
- 19:53Speaker 2: the height, but he's got everything else you want. And
- 19:56Speaker 2: then you may not need that in an interior defensive lineman.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Right. I mean Aaron Donald was not a tall guy either.
- 20:01Speaker 4: Aaron Donald was six to one, you know, and that
- 20:03Speaker 4: was kind of his biggest knock coming out of Pittsburgh
- 20:07Speaker 4: was the fact that he was a little on the
- 20:08Speaker 4: shorter side.
- 20:09Speaker 3: I'm not comparing this guy to Aaron Donald. Hey, I mean,
- 20:11Speaker 3: if only right. But time will tell, you know, time
- 20:14Speaker 3: will tell if he's gonna be here.
- 20:15Speaker 4: But when we talk about Mason Graham, a couple of
- 20:18Speaker 4: things stand out from you when you watch film on
- 20:20Speaker 4: this dude, and obviously me being from Wisconsin being a
- 20:22Speaker 4: big ten guy, I've seen a little bit of Mason Graham.
- 20:24Speaker 3: I know he brings to the table.
- 20:26Speaker 4: He almost takes it as an offense if an offensive
- 20:29Speaker 4: tackle puts their hands on him, like tackles won't be
- 20:32Speaker 4: able to maintain their blocks very long with this guy,
- 20:36Speaker 4: just because he's got hand violence, you know. And that's
- 20:38Speaker 4: something where either you really have it or you don't.
- 20:41Speaker 4: I had a defensive line coach in Joe Cullen, and yeah,
- 20:45Speaker 4: I'm sure you know about him a little bit, as
- 20:47Speaker 4: a lot of Jaguars fans do, probably more yelling at
- 20:51Speaker 4: me than anything.
- 20:51Speaker 3: But Joe always had.
- 20:53Speaker 4: This philosophy where there's three phases to a pass rusher
- 20:56Speaker 4: or a defensive lineman. There's the get off, there the
- 21:00Speaker 4: move area, and there's the finish. The get off basically
- 21:03Speaker 4: is just out of your stance. How quick are you? Well,
- 21:06Speaker 4: if you watch Mason Graham on film, he's usually the
- 21:08Speaker 4: first guy off the ball, so he has that the
- 21:10Speaker 4: move area, What does that mean? It means in space
- 21:13Speaker 4: when someone's past setting on you, what kind of moves
- 21:15Speaker 4: do you have? What kind of field do you have? No,
- 21:18Speaker 4: that's still coming along for Mason Graham. But like that's
- 21:20Speaker 4: probably the hardest thing to master going from the collegiate
- 21:23Speaker 4: level to the pro level. And the last, but not least,
- 21:26Speaker 4: is the finish. When when you have the corner, can
- 21:29Speaker 4: you finish it? Can you chase down a quarterback that's
- 21:32Speaker 4: five yards down the field? Mason Graham can do that
- 21:34Speaker 4: as well. And guess what those things when it comes
- 21:36Speaker 4: to finish, when it comes to get off, those are
- 21:39Speaker 4: hard to coach.
- 21:40Speaker 3: Either you have them or you don't, and Mason Graham
- 21:42Speaker 3: has those. In Spain.
- 21:44Speaker 2: Let's say, for example, that Travis Hunter's gone, Mason Graham's gone.
- 21:51Speaker 3: Now what now we're now we're getting interested.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Now we're getting interesting, right, And I'm assuming that we
- 21:56Speaker 4: can't trade back right now, we're just gonna go the
- 21:58Speaker 4: next or what can we trade back?
- 22:00Speaker 2: Are you're the GM right now, we're gonna call you
- 22:03Speaker 2: the GM of this exercise.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're trading now.
- 22:06Speaker 4: So I'm probably gonna trade back a little bit and
- 22:08Speaker 4: try to get some more capital. And that's gonna make
- 22:10Speaker 4: your job hard because then you got a couple more guys.
- 22:12Speaker 4: And I apologize to you to day I apologize to
- 22:15Speaker 4: day two. No.
- 22:16Speaker 2: But like everybody says, there's all trade we could trade,
- 22:20Speaker 2: there's rarely trades in the first round, especially true unless
- 22:24Speaker 2: it's like up to number one. Yeah, there's always talk
- 22:26Speaker 2: about it. We can mock them and all this stuff.
- 22:28Speaker 2: It's hard to really execute those sometimes, you know.
- 22:31Speaker 4: I think if we're not talking about a trade, then
- 22:33Speaker 4: I think we go back to the trenches again. Ah okay,
- 22:36Speaker 4: And this is where offensive line comes into play. And
- 22:39Speaker 4: now keep in mind, I get that you just paid
- 22:40Speaker 4: Walker little and I get you have Anton Harrison, so
- 22:43Speaker 4: it looks like, well, you have two tackles that are
- 22:45Speaker 4: that are short up. But this is how coaches think,
- 22:47Speaker 4: Like Liam Cohen wasn't here when Anton Walker was drafted.
- 22:53Speaker 4: Liam Cohen wasn't here when Walker little you know, got
- 22:56Speaker 4: his new contract.
- 22:57Speaker 3: So in my eyes, they sed off a lot to
- 22:59Speaker 3: proof to Liam Cohne and company.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Right, So if I'm only if I'm you know, Liam Cohnen,
- 23:05Speaker 4: if I'm Gladstone and I'm kind of doing like a
- 23:07Speaker 4: you know, I'm sure they're gonna collaborate.
- 23:08Speaker 3: A little bit.
- 23:09Speaker 4: I look at a guy like, I mean, Membu right
- 23:11Speaker 4: now is the guy that's like shooting up draft boards
- 23:14Speaker 4: because he has speed?
- 23:16Speaker 3: Right he ran about a four nine four eight.
- 23:18Speaker 4: It's probably fashioning I ran at the combine, which makes
- 23:20Speaker 4: me feel a little sad now, but it's all good.
- 23:23Speaker 4: So you have member who's kind of like this athletic
- 23:25Speaker 4: freak coming from the Missouri this is the Missouri tackle.
- 23:29Speaker 4: And then you have another guy in Will Campbell, where
- 23:31Speaker 4: I feel like the whole year he was kind of
- 23:33Speaker 4: towered as the best tackle. Now here's how I think
- 23:37Speaker 4: about this. I don't out of LSU, by the way, yes,
- 23:41Speaker 4: and I won't get your opinion of this as well.
- 23:42Speaker 4: Man Like, do you go with the guy that kind
- 23:45Speaker 4: of put himself on the map due to a good combine,
- 23:48Speaker 4: or do you go with the guy who's more solidified
- 23:50Speaker 4: because of what he's done all season.
- 23:52Speaker 3: I so.
- 23:54Speaker 2: I go back to where James Gladstone has come from.
- 23:58Speaker 2: The LA Rams don't really send people to the combine, right,
- 24:02Speaker 2: and I don't know if the Jags will in the future.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Who knows.
- 24:06Speaker 2: The tapes out there. You can look at the times,
- 24:08Speaker 2: you can look at all that, but I think a
- 24:10Speaker 2: lot of the true evaluation will come from the tape.
- 24:14Speaker 2: From the tape from you know, everything's great.
- 24:17Speaker 3: In the pre draft process.
- 24:19Speaker 2: It's a nice evaluation and it might solidify some things
- 24:22Speaker 2: you see on tape, But I think when it comes
- 24:25Speaker 2: down to the nanny gritty, it goes back to the tape,
- 24:27Speaker 2: like what did they do in the fall? Yeah, that's
- 24:29Speaker 2: what I think would go to no, And I agree,
- 24:32Speaker 2: So that means, okay, maybe Membo's okay, he had a
- 24:36Speaker 2: great combine. Well did he have a great fall? Let's
- 24:40Speaker 2: go back and watch this again exactly. It brings you
- 24:43Speaker 2: back around and that's important to know too as well.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Where I think some gms they get so wrapped up
- 24:48Speaker 2: in the numbers, right, Like, I mean, you know, God
- 24:52Speaker 2: rest his soul. At Al Davis was still around I'm
- 24:54Speaker 2: sure Membo would look great in a Raiders jersey, you know.
- 24:57Speaker 3: What I'm saying.
- 24:57Speaker 4: But then there's some gms like you just mentioned where
- 25:00Speaker 4: they're they're concerned more about tape, right And I think
- 25:03Speaker 4: there's sometimes where maybe it's like a small school guy
- 25:05Speaker 4: like I was, where yeah, tape is one thing, but
- 25:08Speaker 4: then you have to show up the combine as well,
- 25:09Speaker 4: just because you have to reassure that can you handle
- 25:12Speaker 4: the workload of the NFL.
- 25:14Speaker 3: So everything's different. But I think when we talk.
- 25:16Speaker 4: About the best tackle out of this class right now,
- 25:19Speaker 4: I lean a little more towards Will Campbell because I
- 25:21Speaker 4: think his resume in terms of what he's able to accomplish,
- 25:24Speaker 4: and you know, he didn't lose any stock at the
- 25:26Speaker 4: combine by any means, I think he would be the guy.
- 25:29Speaker 2: And it is interesting that, I mean, the Jags apparently
- 25:32Speaker 2: are not going to do any thirty visits, so you
- 25:34Speaker 2: can bring thirty players in this time of year to
- 25:36Speaker 2: talk to them, you know, they're not doing it, and
- 25:39Speaker 2: I think they're one of I think there's about four
- 25:41Speaker 2: teams that are not doing that. Yeah, So again it
- 25:44Speaker 2: goes back to the tape and the scouting. You know,
- 25:48Speaker 2: if you really want to talk to you guy, you
- 25:49Speaker 2: probably get them on to zoom and do it. But
- 25:52Speaker 2: just getting that out of the evaluation, not altogether, but
- 25:56Speaker 2: not clouding your judgment when it comes to the tape.
- 25:59Speaker 3: No without that. I think that's the approach. I might
- 26:01Speaker 3: be a little off on that, but that's the feeling
- 26:03Speaker 3: looking at it, and that's what it has to be,
- 26:05Speaker 3: I think. JP.
- 26:06Speaker 4: You know, when we talk about like the visits and everything,
- 26:08Speaker 4: like listen, I took my fair share of visits. I
- 26:10Speaker 4: visited Buffalo when Tim Tebow was in my draft class,
- 26:13Speaker 4: and you know, I.
- 26:14Speaker 3: Was like the fifth role, like the fifth Beatle, and.
- 26:16Speaker 4: He was obviously like you know, Paul McCartney and and
- 26:20Speaker 4: like everybody combined like, oh, Tim Tebow's here, and I'm
- 26:22Speaker 4: just like, yeah, you.
- 26:23Speaker 3: Were there on the same day. That was there the
- 26:24Speaker 3: same day. It was.
- 26:25Speaker 4: It was me, Tim Tebow and Brandon Spikes another line. Yeah,
- 26:30Speaker 4: So you have you know, little Austin Lane from you know,
- 26:33Speaker 4: wherever the heck he's from in Murray State University. Then
- 26:35Speaker 4: you have you know, Captain America and Tim Tebow and
- 26:38Speaker 4: Brandon Spikes.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 26:39Speaker 4: I was, you know, I was obviously the sea side
- 26:42Speaker 4: of a lot of those conversations. But I didn't really
- 26:46Speaker 4: learn much, you know when it comes to the business.
- 26:48Speaker 4: Like they got me in front of the board a
- 26:49Speaker 4: little bit, but it was not that of the combine, right.
- 26:51Speaker 4: So I just think sometimes visits are used more as
- 26:54Speaker 4: smoke screens than anything.
- 26:56Speaker 2: And now there's no smoke at all. There's no smoking.
- 26:59Speaker 2: You really don't know. I love it. It's even more mysterious.
- 27:02Speaker 2: The new season's right around the corner. In the time
- 27:04Speaker 2: to get your twenty twenty five season ticket membership Austin.
- 27:07Speaker 2: It's right now today, right now, let's get it or
- 27:10Speaker 2: tomorrow be at the bank for every touchdown. Secure your
- 27:13Speaker 2: seats at Jaguars dot com slash tickets or call nine

- 27:24Speaker 2: conditioning only. There's a whole new staff and you've got experience.
- 27:29Speaker 3: With new strength and conditioning staffs. We're gonna get that
- 27:32Speaker 3: out of here, whether you like it or not.
- 27:34Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna be snitching out here, but
- 27:36Speaker 4: I'll I can give something from me one story. I'll
- 27:40Speaker 4: see what I can do We're on tended Excel, Jaguars
- 27:42Speaker 4: dot com and Jaguars YouTube.
- 27:44Speaker 3: It is Jaguars Happy.
- 27:45Speaker 5: Out talking about you know, just doing the culture you know,
- 28:02Speaker 5: and being a cornerstone and that that review. And I've
- 28:06Speaker 5: always wanted to be a guy to you know, be
- 28:09Speaker 5: known for that, you know, be known for a culture
- 28:12Speaker 5: and be known to you know, change culture. So I
- 28:16Speaker 5: love a good competition and I love a good challenge.
- 28:19Speaker 5: So for like, this is the perfect place for me

- 28:58Speaker 4: Right at Dahi's place many times at a w there.
- 29:00Speaker 4: I've been to many shows, like a bunch of concerts
- 29:02Speaker 4: over there. Oh yeah, it's a good time.
- 29:04Speaker 3: What's what's your like? What do you listen to before
- 29:06Speaker 3: a fight? Oh?
- 29:08Speaker 4: Wow, anything and everything, honestly, but with a fight usually
- 29:12Speaker 4: you're you're kind of busy like hitting mits and everything,
- 29:14Speaker 4: so you know you don't have time to have the
- 29:15Speaker 4: headphones on too much. But uh, when I was like
- 29:18Speaker 4: playing in the league and everything in the NFL locker room,
- 29:21Speaker 4: and this would drive Joel calling insane because when I
- 29:24Speaker 4: wore my headphones, you better believe they're cranked up to eleven.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:27Speaker 4: So I was rocking anything from like we're going E
- 29:30Speaker 4: d M music, We're going like rock, We're going hip hop,
- 29:34Speaker 4: like a little bit of everything, and to the point
- 29:35Speaker 4: where Joe call and be like, turn that dang music
- 29:38Speaker 4: down a little bit.
- 29:38Speaker 3: It's too loud. You know, you know your death.
- 29:40Speaker 4: I'm like, we're all good coaches, getting trying to getting
- 29:43Speaker 4: in the Bible a little bit. But when when I
- 29:46Speaker 4: had my combine, I was probably the most nerves I
- 29:48Speaker 4: really been in terms of like getting ready to go perform,
- 29:52Speaker 4: right because at the Scouting Combat Combat. I was on
- 29:55Speaker 4: the scouting combat in Indie, and you know it's like
- 29:57Speaker 4: the underwear Olympics, right, like you're just out there for
- 30:00Speaker 4: for all to see, you know, two hundred and seventy
- 30:02Speaker 4: whatever pound Austin with you know, some under armours Span
- 30:05Speaker 4: dex On and.
- 30:06Speaker 3: That's about it.
- 30:07Speaker 4: But I actually played a lot of Miley Cyrus part
- 30:09Speaker 4: of the USA. It was a big song at the time,
- 30:11Speaker 4: and that kind of helped call me down a little
- 30:14Speaker 4: bit and dance a little bit. So I think I
- 30:16Speaker 4: ran a four to eight at the combine, So, you know,
- 30:18Speaker 4: shout out to Miley Syrus for helped me out there.
- 30:20Speaker 4: How many reps of the bench press if.
- 30:22Speaker 3: You do so?
- 30:23Speaker 4: Didn't do the bench press at the combine, but I
- 30:25Speaker 4: benched at my protege.
- 30:26Speaker 3: I think got twenty one or twenty two. Okay, Yeah,
- 30:28Speaker 3: it's good. It's how it's all. I got these long arms.
- 30:31Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. It's tough. Yeah, yeah, I
- 30:33Speaker 3: feel the same way. I have the same problem.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the reason I don't do that with Jeff
- 30:40Speaker 2: Loggaman out Austin Laney and I'm JP Shatterick.
- 30:42Speaker 3: It's Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 30:43Speaker 2: We're at the Hyundai Studios on Tintin XL, Jaguars dot
- 30:46Speaker 2: com and Jaguars YouTube. April seventh, the offseason program can
- 30:51Speaker 2: began for teams with a coaching change. The Jaguars will
- 30:55Speaker 2: begin April eighth officially, so that means strength and conditioning
- 30:59Speaker 2: for the first couple weeks of the offseason program. And
- 31:03Speaker 2: that also means there's a new strength and conditioning staff
- 31:06Speaker 2: here as well, Austin and Eric Ciano has been in
- 31:09Speaker 2: the league for fifteen years with the Buffalo Bills. He's
- 31:11Speaker 2: the director of strength and Conditioning now for the Jaguars.
- 31:14Speaker 2: So we always hear about establishing the culture from the
- 31:18Speaker 2: head coach. He the offensive scheme and what's the terminology
- 31:22Speaker 2: and what happens on defense and everything that goes into that.
- 31:27Speaker 3: The special team staff is the same, but hey, this
- 31:30Speaker 3: is another side of it.
- 31:31Speaker 2: This group, the strength and conditioning staff, are the only
- 31:34Speaker 2: ones that can be on the field working with these
- 31:36Speaker 2: guys in the first couple of weeks. Yeah, there's some
- 31:37Speaker 2: classroom working things that happened. But how much of a
- 31:41Speaker 2: challenge is it for Siano, the new strength and conditioning
- 31:44Speaker 2: director to establish his program when he hasn't been able
- 31:47Speaker 2: to get in front of these guys.
- 31:49Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's definitely it's gonna be a little challenging.
- 31:52Speaker 4: And you know, and especially when we talk about strength
- 31:54Speaker 4: and conditioning coaches, right, Like usually if you're a new
- 31:58Speaker 4: coach on a new team, you bring in your own guy, right,
- 32:00Speaker 4: because you hear things in circles and you want to
- 32:03Speaker 4: be comfortable with what you know you can bring in.
- 32:06Speaker 4: Siana was in what Buffalo for I think fifteen years
- 32:09Speaker 4: or fourteen years, which I think speaks volumes on his
- 32:11Speaker 4: resume and what he's all about. Because if you can
- 32:13Speaker 4: go through coach after coach after coach like they did
- 32:16Speaker 4: in Buffalo for a while, I think that kind of
- 32:18Speaker 4: speaks volumes to what you're bringing on the table as
- 32:22Speaker 4: your own coach, right. So I think with Siano it's
- 32:24Speaker 4: gonna be important because people think that culture is built
- 32:27Speaker 4: in training camp, and culture is built you know, maybe
- 32:30Speaker 4: in the film room. But like he literally it's his
- 32:33Speaker 4: job to get a bunch of essentially strangers in there,
- 32:36Speaker 4: a bunch of grown men.
- 32:38Speaker 3: To lift weights number one but number two, to.
- 32:40Speaker 4: Kind of rally together and be like, hey, this is
- 32:42Speaker 4: how we do things and everybody goes about that differently.
- 32:45Speaker 2: And then every player has their own plan you have
- 32:48Speaker 2: to craft as well. Yes, I mean how does that
- 32:50Speaker 2: process start for a new guy coming in leading it?
- 32:53Speaker 4: I mean usually if you're a quarterback, like I think
- 32:56Speaker 4: I may have saw Blame Gabert twice in the weight
- 32:57Speaker 4: room when when I play it now. But you know,
- 33:00Speaker 4: the quarterbacks are kind of doing their own thing. It's
- 33:01Speaker 4: more mobility and stuff with their shoulders, you know, if
- 33:05Speaker 4: you're a big offensive lineman, if you're a defensive lineman,
- 33:07Speaker 4: you're throwing the real weight around and everything. But yeah,
- 33:10Speaker 4: usually you get divided up into groups and then you
- 33:14Speaker 4: just have to go accordingly. And obviously, I mean I've
- 33:16Speaker 4: I've been with some absolute monsters in the weight room.
- 33:20Speaker 4: One that sticks out to me is Stephen Paya, who
- 33:23Speaker 4: was with I was with him in Chicago. I think
- 33:25Speaker 4: he at the time he set the combine record for
- 33:27Speaker 4: most bench press reps at two twenty five. I want
- 33:29Speaker 4: to say it was like forty something, but I remember,
- 33:33Speaker 4: like I remember going in there thinking like, all right,
- 33:34Speaker 4: I'm pretty strong, you know, I can hold my own
- 33:36Speaker 4: and this dude we had an exercise, but we had
- 33:38Speaker 4: a bear crawl and then you you do a tress
- 33:41Speaker 4: up extension. So for those you know basically right, so
- 33:44Speaker 4: bear crawl than that, I'm not sure you've ever done
- 33:46Speaker 4: it before.
- 33:46Speaker 3: Joe, look at me, hey man, don't assume anyway.
- 33:49Speaker 4: So I was using the probably like forty five pounds
- 33:52Speaker 4: or whatever for twenty yards. Steven was using one hundred pounds,
- 33:56Speaker 4: that's it. And and that put it on perspective of
- 33:58Speaker 4: like there's strong and then there's like frequently strong, and
- 34:01Speaker 4: he was obviously preciously strong.
- 34:03Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, there's.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Like we talked about Aaron Donald earlier, right, I mean
- 34:07Speaker 2: those some of those and James Harrison, like these guys
- 34:09Speaker 2: are just different when it comes to weight training, correct.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Yeah, And then that's see I think nowadays, like when
- 34:15Speaker 4: I played back in the twenty ten twenty eleven, around
- 34:18Speaker 4: that time, I almost feel like strength coaches kind of
- 34:21Speaker 4: kept things a little more secret, right because you didn't
- 34:23Speaker 4: have all these YouTube videos, you didn't have Instagram. It
- 34:26Speaker 4: was more of just like the philosophies that you were taught,
- 34:29Speaker 4: and you're not gonna shame with anybody else. There's information,
- 34:32Speaker 4: there's access to everything now where you can do your
- 34:35Speaker 4: own strength program through an NFL team, and dude, we
- 34:38Speaker 4: can get you shdded by the time the season starts
- 34:39Speaker 4: if we want, not sure if you're in, if we want,
- 34:42Speaker 4: if we want, I mean, you have to have to
- 34:44Speaker 4: be on board with that. But but now I think
- 34:46Speaker 4: it's more about just making sure that you know, it's
- 34:50Speaker 4: about building that culture, but making sure that the players
- 34:52Speaker 4: are on the same page, right and making sure that
- 34:55Speaker 4: you're getting the best out of them, because there's the preseason,
- 34:57Speaker 4: there's the spring where it's okay, let's build our strength,
- 35:00Speaker 4: let's build our speed, and then probably even more important
- 35:03Speaker 4: part is during the middle of the season is making
- 35:06Speaker 4: sure we're maintaining but we're not getting.
- 35:08Speaker 2: Hurt as well. The technology. You certainly mentioned that, but
- 35:11Speaker 2: I don't. I'm gonna guess you didn't have a GPS
- 35:14Speaker 2: monitor on you when you were in Jack So the
- 35:17Speaker 2: GPS monitor started around then. Yeah, so when I was
- 35:20Speaker 2: on my way out when you were coming in. Actually,
- 35:21Speaker 2: I think was the first year they implemented the GPS monitors.
- 35:24Speaker 2: And it's crazy, like how much science now goes into
- 35:27Speaker 2: all this stuff, right, because I still feel like there's
- 35:29Speaker 2: some old school guys out there that are like get
- 35:31Speaker 2: these computers and you know there's no air weights, it's
- 35:34Speaker 2: all real weight and things like that. But you have
- 35:37Speaker 2: to be smart now, right, like we're talking about world
- 35:39Speaker 2: class athletes, and I think athletes now more than ever
- 35:43Speaker 2: pay attention to their bodies, what kind of fuel are
- 35:45Speaker 2: they putting into their bodies, how they're taking care of themselves.
- 35:47Speaker 2: So it has to be at a premium in terms
- 35:49Speaker 2: of how you're going about training these guys. And then
- 35:52Speaker 2: I mean from organization, well from one to another might
- 35:56Speaker 2: have a different philosophy on what they provide certain and
- 36:01Speaker 2: that's why of these grades come out from the NFLPA
- 36:03Speaker 2: or correct.
- 36:04Speaker 4: And I've had my fair share of strength coaches. I've
- 36:07Speaker 4: had Luke richardson his first year here, who actually trained
- 36:10Speaker 4: brock Lesner back in the day and in the UFC
- 36:12Speaker 4: as well. Brock Lesnar came to visit a little bit
- 36:15Speaker 4: with him. He was a really big proponent on more
- 36:18Speaker 4: of like the like the air weights, so as opposed
- 36:20Speaker 4: to like using like free weights that you see at
- 36:21Speaker 4: any kind of gym that you go to. This was
- 36:24Speaker 4: more of like the high tech fancy, you know, the
- 36:26Speaker 4: air weights they called them. I had Tom Lozinski, former player.
- 36:31Speaker 4: This guy was a little more old school, right, like
- 36:33Speaker 4: we got all the air compressed machines out of here,
- 36:35Speaker 4: and then we go back to like the real weight,
- 36:37Speaker 4: you know, and everything like that, which was it was
- 36:39Speaker 4: a nice change of pace as well. So I've been
- 36:42Speaker 4: around a couple of philosophies, but like I said, I
- 36:44Speaker 4: think back in those days, everyone kind of had their
- 36:47Speaker 4: own thing. I think as we get more and more
- 36:50Speaker 4: towards social media and everyone kind of sharing their ideas,
- 36:54Speaker 4: I think it's probably gonna become a little more even
- 36:56Speaker 4: of what teams are doing now in the weight room,
- 36:58Speaker 4: and it starts back and even high school now they're
- 37:01Speaker 4: doing this stuff.
- 37:02Speaker 2: So kids have been trained with all this from about
- 37:06Speaker 2: fourteen years old all the way up.
- 37:07Speaker 4: I mean, I have a ten year old playing flag
- 37:09Speaker 4: football right now, and and even he knows about like
- 37:12Speaker 4: you know certain and we're just doing body with exercises
- 37:15Speaker 4: until further notice, but like even he's in on it now.
- 37:17Speaker 3: You know, it's about mobility and flexibility.
- 37:20Speaker 4: I don't know what flexibility was until my third year
- 37:22Speaker 4: in the NFL when I started doing yoga for the
- 37:24Speaker 4: first time. Like it was all about muscles, it was
- 37:26Speaker 4: all about speed, but like forget flexibility.
- 37:29Speaker 3: But it's a big part of it.
- 37:30Speaker 2: It certainly is, and they'll have a lot of work
- 37:33Speaker 2: ahead of them starting April eighth, when the Jaguars began
- 37:36Speaker 2: the off season program with a new strength and conditioning staff.
- 37:40Speaker 2: We're back in a moment plenty more ahead as we
- 37:43Speaker 2: wind down on this Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 38:02Speaker 3: I hope what they see is someone who cares.
- 38:05Speaker 6: I hope that shows in my play. I think it
- 38:07Speaker 6: does because I do. I care a lot, care about
- 38:09Speaker 6: my teammates, I care.
- 38:10Speaker 3: About the team. Those are the things that I want
- 38:13Speaker 3: to be evident in my play.
- 38:14Speaker 6: They want to see a guy finishing all the way
- 38:17Speaker 6: of the whistle, picking up his teammates first one dare
- 38:19Speaker 6: to give him.
- 38:20Speaker 3: If I'm not doing that.
- 38:23Speaker 6: Text me, shoot me, tweet me, tell me I'm not
- 38:25Speaker 6: doing it, because that's important.
- 38:26Speaker 3: That stuff's important to me.
- 38:28Speaker 2: It's Robert Hainsey, careful what you wish for, and it
- 38:31Speaker 2: is Jaguars Happy Hour, of course, the new Jags Center
- 38:34Speaker 2: brought on in free agency. Jaguars Happy Hour presented by
- 38:37Speaker 2: Dream Finders Homes, official homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 38:40Speaker 5: J P.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Shadwick with Austin Lane on this Thursday afternoon.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the tweeting at players really wasn't a
- 38:47Speaker 2: thing when you were playing either right.
- 38:50Speaker 4: Now, not so much towards towards the end of my career,
- 38:53Speaker 4: it did become a little bit. I remember one time
- 38:56Speaker 4: we put the Saints and Drew Brees may have broke
- 39:00Speaker 4: my ankles onto play action and just kind of joked
- 39:02Speaker 4: me out of my shield.
- 39:03Speaker 3: I know, Bree, I don't wry. I end up getting
- 39:04Speaker 3: him back an I didn't get.
- 39:06Speaker 4: A quarterback sack later where he had some choice words
- 39:08Speaker 4: for me, So we were even. But yeah, a lot
- 39:11Speaker 4: of people felt the need to reach out to me
- 39:13Speaker 4: and let me know about Drew Brees breaking my ankle. Okay,
- 39:15Speaker 4: fair enough, wasn't wasn't my happiest moment. Probably not. How's
- 39:19Speaker 4: your bracket? By the way, and a basketball team starts tonight, Yeah,
- 39:24Speaker 4: it's been a lot better. Shout out to Louisville who
- 39:26Speaker 4: had in the final four, first game of the tournament,
- 39:28Speaker 4: they got beat. So I'm like, all right, at least
- 39:29Speaker 4: you're making it really easy on me to not invest myself.
- 39:32Speaker 4: But it's wild for how much basketball that I don't
- 39:35Speaker 4: watch during the regular season, where I think I'm an expert.
- 39:38Speaker 4: Once the tournament bracket comes out, where I think, okay,
- 39:41Speaker 4: you know, I'm gonna have some sleepers here, I'm gonna
- 39:43Speaker 4: have some quality picks.
- 39:44Speaker 3: I'm hurting right now.
- 39:45Speaker 4: And by the way, my son who's in a so
- 39:47Speaker 4: we're like a hundred team league kind of thing, like
- 39:49Speaker 4: a hundred bracket league. I'm in like ninetieth. My son
- 39:53Speaker 4: right now is in second place and it's the first
- 39:55Speaker 4: year of playing it.
- 39:56Speaker 3: Wow. And he lets me know about it every single day.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Bet he does. He's fantastic. You know what, what about you?
- 40:01Speaker 3: How's your brother? It's not great. I don't think you know.
- 40:04Speaker 2: We we have to do it for entertainment purposes only here, right,
- 40:07Speaker 2: So that's that's what it is. I think I picked
- 40:10Speaker 2: Duke because I like coach k but he retired three
- 40:13Speaker 2: years ago.
- 40:13Speaker 3: He's been how much basketball I watch?
- 40:16Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's one of those has been
- 40:17Speaker 2: going right now. But Alabama's playing to night. I'm not
- 40:19Speaker 2: a huge basketball fan.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Though. It's a football spring football season. Awesome, come on, man, gotcha,
- 40:26Speaker 3: it is spring football.
- 40:27Speaker 2: It's also now baseball season, and your Milwaukee Brewers are
- 40:30Speaker 2: losing two to one of the Yankees in the top
- 40:32Speaker 2: of the six.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Yep, Brewers got off to a really hot start.
- 40:34Speaker 4: Freddy Peralta on the mound decide to throw just an
- 40:37Speaker 4: absolute lob to the leadoff hitter and it was a
- 40:39Speaker 4: home run in New York. So we're off to a
- 40:41Speaker 4: fantastic start there, Jay, Yeah, big baseball guy. I'm a
- 40:45Speaker 4: big Brewers guy. If the Brewers are doing well, I
- 40:47Speaker 4: could talk baseball all day. If they're bottom of the division,
- 40:52Speaker 4: I never heard of the sport book. They've been pretty
- 40:53Speaker 4: good lately. They've been fantastic lately. Yeah, and they're really
- 40:56Speaker 4: like overachieving in terms of what they have in the roster.
- 40:58Speaker 4: But like this is is kind of like that small
- 41:01Speaker 4: market baseball, right, like where you develop players they do
- 41:03Speaker 4: really great, then they go to the Yankees or the
- 41:06Speaker 4: Dodgers or the Dodge right Yeah.
- 41:08Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're from Japan, They're going to the Dodgers.
- 41:10Speaker 3: Kind of how it seems to be going right now.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and then of course you your last fight in
- 41:16Speaker 2: UFC was what March first, March first, so yeah, four
- 41:20Speaker 2: weeks ago.
- 41:21Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, weeks ago. Yep.
- 41:22Speaker 4: Thankfully didn't get too like beat up in my face,
- 41:24Speaker 4: and anything that wasn't a good fight for me ended
- 41:27Speaker 4: up kind of you know, taking a little bit of
- 41:28Speaker 4: a gnat. But overall, man had a great first round,
- 41:32Speaker 4: actually dropped my opponent, and the second round just got
- 41:34Speaker 4: a little too uh trigger happy, try to knock them
- 41:37Speaker 4: out and and have you weight.
- 41:38Speaker 3: You make one mistake, it's game over. It's over.
- 41:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 41:41Speaker 3: How long does it take to recover from that? It
- 41:44Speaker 3: all depends, you know.
- 41:45Speaker 4: The fight before that probably took me a little longer
- 41:47Speaker 4: because I had to get like seven stitches in the
- 41:49Speaker 4: back of my head from an illegal elbow. I've won
- 41:51Speaker 4: that fight, but that was took a little longer to
- 41:53Speaker 4: recover obviously, just with stitches and everything. But it was
- 41:56Speaker 4: a cool setup because I had to get my jersey
- 41:59Speaker 4: retired at Murray State. So I went back to Murray
- 42:01Speaker 4: State and our athletic trainer that I when I was
- 42:04Speaker 4: there was still there. I'm like, hey, you might have
- 42:06Speaker 4: taken these stitches out of my head, and he goes,
- 42:07Speaker 4: what are you talking about. I'm like, I got stitches
- 42:09Speaker 4: in my head, man, and like, let's try to, you know,
- 42:11Speaker 4: relive those glory days a little bit. So he ended
- 42:13Speaker 4: up taking the stitches out outstanding, yeah yeah.
- 42:17Speaker 2: And then on your daily regimen, like what do you
- 42:19Speaker 2: do it every day? I mean you're lighter now than
- 42:21Speaker 2: you were playing football, really.
- 42:23Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So my regiment, man, I'm always trying
- 42:26Speaker 4: to stay active. And I always say with fighting, you know,
- 42:30Speaker 4: there really is no off season. It's got to be
- 42:32Speaker 4: a lifestyle, right, So I always try to get something
- 42:34Speaker 4: in the morning, whether it's a run, whether it's like
- 42:38Speaker 4: a weightlifting session. And then I always try to get
- 42:40Speaker 4: something in the afternoon as well. So whether that's you know, mitwork,
- 42:43Speaker 4: whether that's jiu jitsu, grappling, wrestling, I always try to
- 42:47Speaker 4: do something on the daily.
- 42:48Speaker 3: So stay pretty active, you know.
- 42:49Speaker 2: And I've we've talked about this before, I think on
- 42:52Speaker 2: the practice field, and I'm always fascinated by the mindset
- 42:55Speaker 2: of MMA, yeah, and how you better flip to switch on, yeah,
- 43:01Speaker 2: and and what that takes to cross a certain line
- 43:04Speaker 2: and be in that threshold and in that arena. Just
- 43:07Speaker 2: a totally different mindset than a lot of people just
- 43:10Speaker 2: walking around the street.
- 43:12Speaker 4: It's such a different mindset. But it's also a different
- 43:14Speaker 4: mindset than even football itself. Yeah, right, And that was
- 43:17Speaker 4: kind of like the biggest obstacle that had overcome, right,
- 43:20Speaker 4: because in football it's all based off of motion. Right,
- 43:23Speaker 4: you're talking to the guy who got in a fight
- 43:25Speaker 4: with montell Owens, like the second day of practice and
- 43:28Speaker 4: women wearing just helmets, and montell Owens was like the
- 43:30Speaker 4: nicest dude ever, Right, So so I feel like my
- 43:33Speaker 4: future was kind of predetermined for me if I'm fighting
- 43:35Speaker 4: montell Owens.
- 43:36Speaker 3: Gon a walk through. But you know, with that, like
- 43:39Speaker 3: with football, it's great because.
- 43:41Speaker 4: You can let that emotion out right, Like it's a
- 43:43Speaker 4: physically demanding sport, but every play last what maybe five
- 43:47Speaker 4: to seven seconds. In fighting, if you go with that
- 43:49Speaker 4: football mentality where it's like, all right, I'm just gonna
- 43:51Speaker 4: knock you out, you'll get knocked out.
- 43:53Speaker 3: Right.
- 43:53Speaker 4: So if you ever watch a fighter walk in a cage,
- 43:56Speaker 4: they're always calm, they're always cool, they're always collected because
- 43:59Speaker 4: you really have to be. And it's weird trying to
- 44:01Speaker 4: make that walk. And I've made that walk now. If
- 44:04Speaker 4: I cut my amateur in my pro career, I mean
- 44:06Speaker 4: like twenty seven times, twenty eight times, and every time
- 44:09Speaker 4: you make that walk, your mind is telling you like
- 44:12Speaker 4: I'm going to something dangerous and I shouldn't be doing this.
- 44:15Speaker 4: And you ask any fight or this, whether they're full
- 44:17Speaker 4: of machismo or not, they're tell you the same thing.
- 44:19Speaker 3: If they're telling the truth, there is nerves and there
- 44:22Speaker 3: is your.
- 44:23Speaker 4: Mind saying like, we shouldn't be here, we shouldn't be
- 44:25Speaker 4: doing this, this isn't this is dangerous.
- 44:27Speaker 3: Right. But then it's.
- 44:28Speaker 4: Wild how you go from that moment and then you
- 44:31Speaker 4: get in the cage and you kind of walk around
- 44:34Speaker 4: a little bit, and then all of a sudden, you're
- 44:35Speaker 4: like back to regranting yourself of Hey, I've done this
- 44:38Speaker 4: a million times, I've done this in practice a million times,
- 44:41Speaker 4: I can do this, and all of a sudden, like
- 44:42Speaker 4: all that nervous energy just goes away.
- 44:45Speaker 2: That's crazy, it really is. And when's your next fight?
- 44:49Speaker 2: How does that work? So now it's kind of the
- 44:51Speaker 2: waiting game, right. So I signed a four fight deal.
- 44:55Speaker 2: That was my first fight, was my last fight, was
- 44:57Speaker 2: the first fight on a new contract.
- 44:58Speaker 4: So we got three more fights, hopefully sometime in the summertime. Man,
- 45:02Speaker 4: But we'll see, you know, I mean, I'm I'm open
- 45:04Speaker 4: to whenever. But it's just you know, it's getting ready
- 45:07Speaker 4: for the landscape. And that's the cool thing about fighting too,
- 45:10Speaker 4: is that you can just be yourself with it, you know.
- 45:12Speaker 4: I Mean there's some guys like the Connor mcgregors of
- 45:14Speaker 4: the old who want to make it a pacade and
- 45:16Speaker 4: make it.
- 45:16Speaker 3: A giant spectacle, kind of like Rick Flair. More power
- 45:19Speaker 3: to you.
- 45:19Speaker 4: I'm more of the guy that's just gonna you know,
- 45:21Speaker 4: be even keeled, go with the flow and and try
- 45:23Speaker 4: to knock your head off, you know, and then that's
- 45:25Speaker 4: what it's gotta be. Yeah, And let's let's get you
- 45:28Speaker 4: back out there soon. Let's get here man.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jags, as we said, will be back out
- 45:32Speaker 2: there April eighth, the start of the off season program
- 45:35Speaker 2: owners meetings.
- 45:36Speaker 3: Help me up next week.
- 45:37Speaker 2: So down in Palm Beach, the NFL Annual Meeting, there'll
- 45:41Speaker 2: be a lot of rule changes on the table and.
- 45:43Speaker 4: A lot of a lot of you know, I'm sure
- 45:45Speaker 4: like Hawaiian shirts being worn everything too as well.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Probably, So let's go probably some croque on the lawn.
- 45:52Speaker 3: I just saw that one year. And Boca of all things.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the Boca Ratone Club, they have a croquet court, yeah,
- 45:58Speaker 2: grass or whatever you call it.
- 46:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what you'd call that. I don't know.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Maybe maybe so it's like European, right, So I probably
- 46:05Speaker 2: there either way. So there's that going on. Of course,
- 46:08Speaker 2: there's meetings, league meetings and everything. The rule changes and
- 46:11Speaker 2: all that start will start coming out next week and
- 46:14Speaker 2: then hey, the players are in and then it's the
- 46:16Speaker 2: NFL Draft April twenty four, twenty five, twenty six, at
- 46:20Speaker 2: Green Bay of all places.
- 46:22Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and I might go back home for that.
- 46:24Speaker 4: We'll see you're gonna come. I mean, I'm not sure
- 46:26Speaker 4: like how green Bay is gonna host this whole thing,
- 46:29Speaker 4: because it is. You've been to Green Bay before, I have.
- 46:31Speaker 4: H Yeah, I'm very curious to what it's gonna look like. Yes,
- 46:34Speaker 4: I might just go back, just from out of curiosity.
- 46:36Speaker 2: I mean, there's nowhere really to stay there. No, No,
- 46:39Speaker 2: there's not many. I'm sure the league scooped up most
- 46:42Speaker 2: of the places there. I think our crew that we're
- 46:44Speaker 2: sending there is staying in.
- 46:45Speaker 4: Like Apples and Yeah, Appleton's like a probably like twenty
- 46:48Speaker 4: thirty minutes away.
- 46:49Speaker 3: It's up on a little time to go get a drink.
- 46:51Speaker 4: I obviously at my mom's house actually, So we're gonna
- 46:53Speaker 4: be h re reliving the glory days of being in
- 46:56Speaker 4: high school again.
- 46:57Speaker 3: So hopefully she's got my room clean from Maybe you
- 46:58Speaker 3: should go find that pro.
- 47:00Speaker 4: I can find that program absolutely and bring it back
- 47:03Speaker 4: to Tony but selling they can feel old again.
- 47:04Speaker 3: That would be hilarious if you could pull that off,
- 47:07Speaker 3: see what I can do, that would be great.
- 47:09Speaker 2: And then on the show, Brenton Austin Britten Austin all
- 47:12Speaker 2: that strep.
- 47:13Speaker 3: That was five times. Yep, it's still going man.
- 47:15Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think we're a great combination when
- 47:18Speaker 4: we talk about the jag just because of you.
- 47:20Speaker 3: I mean, Brent's there, you're the show Well, no, I'm
- 47:23Speaker 3: not the show man.
- 47:24Speaker 4: Brent does a great job of keeping us on track
- 47:26Speaker 4: because it was up to me. Man, we're all over
- 47:28Speaker 4: the road. So Brent does a great job of keeping
- 47:30Speaker 4: me in check, you know, kind of softening my rough
- 47:32Speaker 4: edges a little bit. But it's a great chemistry that
- 47:35Speaker 4: we have. We have a lot fun with it and
- 47:37Speaker 4: check it out sometimes, yeah.
- 47:38Speaker 3: Check it out? Where can we check it out?
- 47:39Speaker 4: I mean, I am I allowed to say oh okay, yeah, okay,
- 47:42Speaker 4: I don't know man, I mean, hey, I'm a freelancer
- 47:44Speaker 4: man right now. So it's on it's it's on the
- 47:47Speaker 4: Action Sports Jack's app. But we're also on Twitter, we're
- 47:50Speaker 4: on YouTube rall around. So just type in Brent and
- 47:52Speaker 4: Austin you'll find us.
- 47:53Speaker 3: You can find it. It's always on x I see
- 47:55Speaker 3: that all.
- 47:55Speaker 4: It's all well because Brent retweets it like fifty times
- 47:58Speaker 4: a day. I don't do as much. Probably should a
- 48:00Speaker 4: little more. That's the name of the game. You got
- 48:02Speaker 4: to promote yourself. I'm trying that. That's something I'm trying
- 48:05Speaker 4: to learn how to care about social media again, slowly
- 48:08Speaker 4: but surely.
- 48:08Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's hard to do.
- 48:10Speaker 4: Sometimes, especially with the MMA communities too and everything, because
- 48:13Speaker 4: usually I lose people money, so then they wanted you know,
- 48:15Speaker 4: there's a lot of did they feel like people come
- 48:18Speaker 4: out to be like, hey, you know, I lost three
- 48:19Speaker 4: thousand dollars on you, or like I bet one hundred
- 48:22Speaker 4: dollars on you.
- 48:23Speaker 3: Better win. Like that's like me going.
- 48:24Speaker 4: To a dealership and be like, hey, I bet one
- 48:26Speaker 4: hundred dollars a you're gonna sell a car today.
- 48:28Speaker 3: I don't know who you are, but like, best of
- 48:30Speaker 3: luck to you, bro.
- 48:31Speaker 2: You don't know these people, I got my face smashed it.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Yeah you think I feel yeah, exactly, Yeah, I know
- 48:36Speaker 2: I was. I was a meme for my last fight.
- 48:39Speaker 4: How do you think I feel about you losing a
- 48:41Speaker 4: couple of hundred bucks on you know, a parlay?
- 48:43Speaker 2: Sorry funny man, Yeah, people are funny. That's the that's
- 48:47Speaker 2: the world we live in today.
- 48:49Speaker 3: All right. So that's what's coming up, the draft coming up?
- 48:52Speaker 3: All right? So what is your optimist?
- 48:54Speaker 2: Are you optimistic about the path the Jaguars are on
- 48:58Speaker 2: to close it out today?
- 48:59Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 48:59Speaker 4: I am the because we have really no idea where
- 49:03Speaker 4: we're Gladstone and company are going to go. But you
- 49:05Speaker 4: get the sense that it could be a wide receiver
- 49:07Speaker 4: or it could be an into a defensive lineman. And
- 49:09Speaker 4: if that's the case, I feel like you can't go wrong.
- 49:12Speaker 4: If Travis Hunter is going to be there, and I
- 49:13Speaker 4: feel like you can't go wrong.
- 49:16Speaker 3: If the Michigan is going to be there.
- 49:17Speaker 2: How about how about the organization that Liam Cohen is
- 49:22Speaker 2: putting together here?
- 49:23Speaker 4: I like it, you know, I mean time will tell, right.
- 49:25Speaker 4: You still gotta win football games and everything, but I
- 49:28Speaker 4: think the enthusiasm. I think being able to relate to
- 49:30Speaker 4: players is a very important thing these days. You saw
- 49:33Speaker 4: how devastated they were. Sorry Tampa, but you saw how
- 49:36Speaker 4: devastated they were when he left and everything. So I
- 49:38Speaker 4: think that's gonna be a good sign of, you know,
- 49:40Speaker 4: getting the best out of these guys in lockers.
- 49:42Speaker 3: It seems so overblown to me. What's that? I know?
- 49:47Speaker 4: And then you have to ask permission from Tampa. I
- 49:49Speaker 4: guess if you want to play in Orlando.
- 49:50Speaker 3: It is what I was hearing.
- 49:51Speaker 2: We're talking some of I think there's some of that,
- 49:53Speaker 2: but like it's what it is. There's certain rules of
- 49:56Speaker 2: that stuff. Yeah, but the whole dramatic Oh, he's we're
- 50:01Speaker 2: mad at him for leaving, I know.
- 50:03Speaker 3: I mean, the dude made a business decision. Man.
- 50:05Speaker 4: Look it's a visit at the end of the day.
- 50:06Speaker 4: I mean, it's wild for what he gave you all.
- 50:09Speaker 4: You should be thankful.
- 50:10Speaker 3: But we'll take him, certainly, will Austin. Great job, man,
- 50:14Speaker 3: great see you. Thanks for having me. It's been a
- 50:15Speaker 3: time and a half. Appreciate you.
- 50:16Speaker 4: It's been an hour in fact, very fast beats three hours.
- 50:21Speaker 4: Beat the three hours with Martino every day.
- 50:24Speaker 2: Let's do it again, Austin Lane bab Shadrick thanks to
- 50:28Speaker 2: Joe Fortune Auto and Brent Reaver, and thanks to you
- 50:30Speaker 2: for listening to the Jaguars Happy Hour
