• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry about and I tweet an incredible facility and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: uh I really wasn't even that aware of how nice
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it was, I believe it or not. And it's uh, yeah,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it's worth the trip. Four fields and uh do a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: practice let's go. Yeah, they're off and running behind us.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We won't show any practice today. We'll have our show
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: during practice and here are the big things for today's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Jaguar is Happy are welcome to Minnesota. Will delve into
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the matchups today, of course with Jeff Logavan. Jaguars analysts
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: will join us on set and we'll get the vikings,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know, things from the voice of the Vikings, Paul Allen.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: He'll join us here underneath the big purple tent on
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the side of the four practice fields here. Uh. You know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it's interesting hearing how these things come together. And Doug
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Marone spoke to the media a little bit earlier here
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: at the practice fields. We also spoke about this yesterday
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: back in Jacksonville about how a practice against another team
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: comes together and what teams are a good matchup for
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the Jacks. Certain teams that you know that I think
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that you know can help us at the football team,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that can get us better, whether it's you know, schematically,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: whether it's talent. I think there's a lot of things
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that go into it. I appreciate you know, Coach Zimmer,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you know, being open to it. Um. I think you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's an opportunity for us to go against in my opinion,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you know, probably one of the most talented teams in
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the league. If not the most talented team, I think
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they're a complete football team. I think there are they have,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you know, great discipline, and they have a lot of talent.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be a good, you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a couple of days for us and a and a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: good test and you know, more importantly, it's it's it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a good way to get um, you know, evaluations on
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: players that are trying to make the roster. Doug Brown
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: added today that it started with his phone call up
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: here to Minnesota to Mike Zimmer. They felt like pretty
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: good matchup these two teams, two teams that went to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the championship games in their respective conferences a year ago. Well,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: sometimes there's not a lot of science to it. It's
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Doug Brown admires like Zimmer knows he's a really good coach.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Uh saw it on the schedule and called him up
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and said, hey, you want to practice, And it makes
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: sense because they're both good teams. It appears that Doug
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: really likes coaching against well coached teams that he respects
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: coached against Belichick and the Patriots last year. Uh, Mike
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Zimmer is Dougs kind of coach a no nonsense guy
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: who really knows what he's doing XS and ohs. So
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: not surprising that he would reach out and uh, you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have this be this year's working. Not all coaches love this, JP.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Not all coaches like to go out and have this
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: dual practice. Doug really likes it, said today or yesterday,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I forget which. Uh you watch that He's participated in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: one pretty much every year he's been coaching. And that's unusual,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you know, so I would anticipate us sitting at a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: at a table relatively similar to this at some practice,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: probably cimmer this talking about a dual practice as long
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: as Doug runs the head coach. Happened last year and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: uh and of course in flow Spirl against New England Patriots,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and that was the price against the Bucks last year
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: jack last year in Jacksonville. So twice last year. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: think he'll do it as many times as he can.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And he's prey. If he could do it three times,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: if he finds three teams to match up with, he
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: wouldn't mind that either. I don't think it's tricky to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: do it a third time because the first two weeks
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: really lend itself because they can stay within the spirit
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: of we're practicing. Once you hit that third week, you're
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: trying to get into a situation where your game plan,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and they used that third week is as a warm up,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and they want to make everything the third week feel
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is like as much like a regular season game as
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you can. That means structuring practices that way to go
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: against another team's ones during that time would make it
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: difficult to replicate that, but I would expect more often
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: than not I him to do it twice the I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: guess the big storyline outside of the practices today, let's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: just touch on this briefly. The Jalen Ramsey g Q
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: interview that might be the topic online today will briefly
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: touch on this. Doug Moron said he didn't read the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: article yet was old about it a bit today. Uh,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it's caught fire, of course, and I'm sure the interview
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was done a long time back. Yeah. Yes, And that's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: what's important to remember too. This is not a case
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure of Jalen going, you know, you know, somewhere
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: after the suspension the other day and saying I'm gonna
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: go talk to g Q. These things are done in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the offseason, probably most likely set up by his agency. Um,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm sure Doug, before he talked on
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the UH on the podium across the field, had heard
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit of it and probably just sort of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a all right, that's Jaalen, and you know, and it's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: some it's some really Twitter friendly stuff. He went through
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: other teams quarterbacks, which most guys don't do. I mean,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: get a lot of questions in the ozone about it,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and I get that it it's a great topic. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: there's people worried about this with Jalen. There's people really
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: heavily supporting Jalen saying what are you gonna do with Jalen?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Stop parting? This is Jalen. He's gonna do this. He
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: likes to talk, doesn't mind and uh, you know, a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: drop in truths as he said he did with a J.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Green last you and I dropped some truths to JP.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But yeah, straight fat and you know he's gonna talk.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And I liked Pete Prisco's tweet after this. My old
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: colleague at the TU and our friend here on Jaguars
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: dot Com made the point to say, once you get
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: on the field, anything you said in the offseason, all
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: this stuff, it really sort of goes away. It will
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: be terrific fodder. I'm sure it will be on Pardon
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: These Skip Bayliss or whatever that show is. You know
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it'll be out there. But um, while fun to talk about,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is going to be a a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: huge difference on whether things happened during games or not.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But you know, Jalen's fun fun, and you know, it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: just interesting timing and everything that happened the other two
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of course, and you get the field that even after Tuesday,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: when the Jags got back in the practice field after
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: all that, there was no pads or anything. You just
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: had a sense that, hey, everything's to be okay. Water
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: under the bridge in a week or two and things
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: will move on here well. And it was interesting to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: talk to some veterans. I talked to Barry Church about it,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Brent Martineau and I did after the Tuesday practice. You know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: because Jalen, I guess, is blocking media guys on Twitter. Uh.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I expect when the first time Jalen talks to Meteor
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: sometimes that there'll be some tension, there'll be some weirdness
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: there and it'll be something to watch. Um, but I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: don't think again, it's gonna be something that defines the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Jaguars season, and it it's not something that's gonna tear
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: apart the team. You know, this is unusual enough, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it this doesn't happen very off and it has happened
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: in Jackson where you had a guy who really talks
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a lot. But it's not something that has to dominate
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the entire organization. And I don't think it will again.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I think you're just gonna get used to the fact
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that Jalen Ramsey and keeping with a with a tradition
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of corners, is going to talk. He's going to speak
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: his mind, and uh, you know, I don't mind it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I just don't. Yeah. And then the skirmish thing that's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, that's happened and pretty much a lot of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: practices over the years that that's that kind of thing,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: especially in that defensive line room. You get the field
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that's gonna go away, well take a line and not
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: not necessarily liking each other. I don't know that they
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: have to. I you know, I don't know the depths
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of Dante Unique's relationship. I'm not involved with. That's just
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: still only other personalities in that room. You've got an
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: idea that, um, that that kind of stuff will get separated.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I haven't been around very many teams where there weren't
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a few guys where you heard you know, those guys
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: don't really get along that well. You know it. It's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: fifty three young guys who all sort of came in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the NFL believe and they're the best player on the planet.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It's an ego driven league. Not everybody's gonna get along.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And you know, uh, I'm not gonna sit here and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: say it's ideal to have videos of players fighting out there.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it's ideal to have guys suspend it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: It's not. I do think what is very very pertinent
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Jeff By loggins on in the second segment he can
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: talk to it as well. How these things are handled
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is what matters. Handled incorrectly if it if the coaching staff,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the organization would let this, you know, sort of run rampant.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I it's a problem. Doug Morone, if nothing else, last
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: year did a masterful job of keeping this personality hot
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: button team on the right road. Remember Leonard Fournett was
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: suspended for not suspended, but whatever that this one was
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: didn't play a game for disciplinary reasons. A bigger deal
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: beforehand than it was after they won the games. It
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't a big deal. But he's willing to pull back
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in very good players, dominant personalities, alpha males, if you will,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and because he's handled it well through time, I think
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: players respected. I think these young guys and as when
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: they're disciplined. Okay, was that okay? I think generally speaking,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the locker room is fine with the way Doug Moron
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: handles this, and I think this will be navigated well.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Final thought here coming back to this practice against the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Vikings today and tomorrow. Talking to marrow so Darius the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: other day, you know, I asked him, how do you
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: this is before all that happened, by the way, how
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: do you approach practice against another team? And he had
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the great answer of you're out there to get work done,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you respect your opponent, You're not gonna try to embarrass anybody,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and both teams I think that's their goal this week.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: It Doug Maron just just brought that up again today.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: He was asked about, you know, how do you approach
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: skirmishes and stuff today and like the same way they
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: always do, They're they're not really accepted on the field,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and especially no talking across the line. As the way
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Doug put it today. Um, that's the plan is to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: go out here and get work done these next years.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I don't honestly don't remember the Bucks practice last year,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and I remember there's anybody thrown out or any fights.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I remember it getting heated at the end of one
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: goal line situation, red zone situation. Heated, I thought in
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a spirited way where I mean it might get close.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's gonna be tempers flair when you play
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a football game. That's what happens in Fox Borrow last year.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I do remember Dante getting thrown out, which you know
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that's that that's what that is. Uh. But they both
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: had a low tolerance morn and Bill Belichick with hed
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a low tolerance for fighting. UH. And I don't know
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: my examiner. I would imagine he's the same. Hey, let's
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: get some stuff done here. Let's not worry about the fight.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if it's tolerated or if it's a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: big deal here this week. But you never know. That
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: was the gist of mink zimmers comments earlier in the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: week as well. We'll see as the days go on.
• 11:25

• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman is along with us. What's up man? Well?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I was hoping since it's happy, are you would have
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a drink for me? But obviously not. What's going on, Johnny? Oh,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that's affordable cooler act Now it's a It's is a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: fantastic day Minnesota. Beautiful because you know this time of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: year you don't have any humidity, probably warm by Minnesota. Yeah,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: but uh, a day for great working and kind of
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: interesting setting the scene for everybody. This is an amazing
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: facility which which'all get into and in a little bit,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: but over my left shoulder is the offensive line for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings and there are two co offensive line coaches.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Tony Sperrano Senior was the offensive line coach and who
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: died recently with a hard issue. And his son obviously
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: is the Jaguars assistant offensive line coach and you knew
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: him when he was the Jaguars tight end coach exactly,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and Uh, a very emotional day, I think for the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Sperrano family and also for the coaches on both sides
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: because Uh, Tony Sprowno Jr's mom is here. Tony is
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: obviously here as well, and uh, a tough moment for them.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And Doug Maron JP also had you know, well he
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: turned a relationship with Tony Sprano Jr. I mean Tony
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Sprano Senior, Uh, former offensive line coach. Doug and obviously
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: offensive line coaches have a great respect and I know
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: each other very well. Everybody the offensive line kind of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the coaches anyway, have kind of a fraternity and they
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: actually have one in its name and I forget the name,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and I don't even know if it's still in existence.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: But for many years it was. But behind us, you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: we're looking at these four practice fields that are simply amazing.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: The the the two from the camera people at home perspective
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: on the right where the Minnesota Vikings are at. That's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: where they've been practicing at thout their training camp. The
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: two from at home perspective on the left is where
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the jack Girls wrong. This is the first day that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: they have ever had any practice activity on these two
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: fields at all at all. Now, this facility was just
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: recently opened up in March, and this isn't even the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: all of it. There are facilities behind these facilities for
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: fan experience, and there's at least two football fields behind
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the facility. I walked through it. There's there's there. It's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: about a forty acre complex. The will spot about two
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: d acres here. Forty acres was sold to the Vikings sold. Okay,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: they buy, they sold to their own entity. But there's
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: four grass fields, there's an indoor facility, and there's a
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: stadium where they will host high school games, high school
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: playoff games, and championships at which has a press box
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that is actually more luxurious than the new stadium in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: downtown Minneapolis. Watching this taken. Note this facility cost and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, John all Tell Stadium back in
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the day, ever bank Field. Now it's like one. This
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: facility here a hundred fifty million just for the facility.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: You know, so here you are, you're this is an
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: operational cost, okay. And this is the best in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: National Football League right now. And you're not putting seats
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: in here, You're not making money all this hundred fifty million.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: This is an operational budget. Right. They make a little
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: off the high school games and don't have to make
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: up exactly. And I got a tour of the facility
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and saw everything but the meeting rooms in the facility
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: because the players and the coaches were in mini rooms
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: in it is absolutely tremendous walking to the locker rooms.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Their state of the art, you know, on a par
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: with what you would find in a state. And the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: acreage around this place, as you talked about, Jeff, is
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: probably where the money is gonna be made with development
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in such a round here to um. Pretty impressive company.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: This is actually east of downtown Minneapolis. The old facility
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: used to be west and the remaining a hundred sixty
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: acres are talking you know, hotels, restaurants, you know, Patriot
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: places like it was, it's funny and they were really cool.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Vikings Hall of Fame over there, and and an interactive
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: place for the fans that they can go out. And
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: here's something pretty cool that the high school stadium that
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: they have here which they have family night the team
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: practices there. I was getting ready to walk, you know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I've got my Jaguars visiting staff all access badge, and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I had, you know, a gatorade in my hand, and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: was gonna walk across the field over here to these fields.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And I was quickly grabbed and said, sir, you cannot
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: take anything but water on this field. Did you bow
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: up on absolutely well. And this is clearly you've seen
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: it the start of it in Jacksonville. He started Patriots Place.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: This is clearly the way teams are going. And I
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: assume at some point in the next ten years the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Vikings have a vision for making money off this to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: support their local revenue, much like the Jaguars are planning
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to do with the light shade of It's not it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: not completely marrying, but that's the way teams are having
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to do to increase their local revenue and make things
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: work in this new NFL economy, Jeff, for the Jack's passed,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the suspension news and all this stuff from the other day,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: how do you move on from that? If I've moved
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: on from it, I mean, you know, I mean those
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: two guys aren't here, they're suspended for a week. You know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Let's play football. Let's worry about the guys that are here.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I think going forward, though, honestly, I don't think it's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: gonna be that big of a deal. Uh, John, You
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: know that back in my playing days, I had a
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: little locker room skirmish and wasn't really in the locker room,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but I had a skirmish, and uh, and we survived,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and we and we did just find you know, and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and probably shouldn't have done it, but it happens. Uh.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Young people sometimes get frustrated and you know, temperance flair.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: It's the way the way it works sometimes. And I
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: mean many times I wanted to whoop John Well. I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: was a writer, but I never knew where to find
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: me now, Uh, and I found Jeff. I've just been
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: doing this twenty twenty three years. Usually when distractions are discussed,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and it's usually people like me and our brethren in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the media get very wrapped up in this is going
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to cause a distraction. My reality, or what I've seen
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: from reality, is most times when distractions are being discussed outside,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: it's not nearly as big a distraction inside the locker room.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: As long as it's handled correct, that's right. And then
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I think the leadership in this locker room was first
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of all, from from an organizational standpoint, with Doug Maron
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and Tom Coughlin and Dave Corble, I think it's very strong.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I think also of the personnel in the locker room
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: with the Clayiss Campbell and Jeremy Parnels, I think the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: leadership is strong there as well. And it doesn't concern
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: me at all. But the one thing that does concern me, uh,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: now that Jellen Rams's interview of g Q has come
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: out as well, Uh, it kind of makes you go,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you know, what is this going to be a pattern?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: You know? And I think that's a little bit concerning,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: but not overly concerning. I think it is gonna be
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: with him. But I also think there is an element
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: of there's always some I don't say divas, but personalities
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: in the league like that that are a little over
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the top, and it was over the top his comments
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and g Q criticizing guys that he knows absolutely nothing about,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: like the quarterback that was drafted by the Buffalo Bills,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and what is he did he watch college film on
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen to make a commentary about Josh Allen? I mean,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on that that was unnecessary. Sometimes young
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: people do I necessary thing. We've been there. Uh matchups
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: this week, and boy, this practice field is filled with
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: fantastic matchups to watch over the next two days. I mean, Uh,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: this defensive line for Minnesota fantastic. I mean that the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Jags in the Minnesota d line are right there neck
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and neck with with two of the best in the NFL. Uh.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: That matchup in the trenches with the offensive lines this week,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I think I know you're gonna be watching. Especially what's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the best one. I mean, it's the big guys in
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a big I mean it's both offensive lines and defensive line.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive line versus the Vikings defensive line. Jaguars defensive
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: line versus the Vikings offensive line. I think that's that's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the marquee matchup. I think you also have to throw
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: in air that the wide receivers for the men Ansota
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Vikings are pretty dog gone good now. Adam DeLand is
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a fantastic wide receiver. You've got an accomplished quarterback who
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: didn't won a playoff game yet though, and Kirk Cousins
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he's getting paid a lot of money. I think that's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of an intriguing thing to watch,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you know, receiving corps maybe the most underrated, really good
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: corps in the league here, and a really good tight
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: end okay to boot Okay. The Vikings have a loaded roster,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: is Doug Marone alluded to yesterday, and and it's on
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. The one area though that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I want to see this team really work to get
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: better at. And I think we need to see improvement
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: from week one to week two of special teams and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and one other note that's kind of surprising. And at
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars, we know how hard they practice, you know,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: two and a half hour practices where they get you know,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: reportedly somewhere in the range of a hundred ten to
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a hundred twenty reps in a practice. We're talking team
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: rep right, and that's what Doug Brone talks about in
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: this practice. The players got to be loving this from
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: from some asspecked of it, but someone probably don't like it.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: You're talking only sixty I mean that that's a big
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: almost cut in half. So some players may like it
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that are ready to Okay, let's just you know, let's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: get through this. Okay, veteran guy. But there's a lot
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: of guys that some veteran guys that want the reps,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and there's also a lot of unproven guys that have
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: something to prove that aren't gonna get the quality reps
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that they got. Now, something interesting that happened last year
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: at the New England practices that they had with them.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: There had what they called and I'm trying to remember
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the name that they had for but it's kind of
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: a bonus period at the end of practice and you
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: guys probably remember that short field and so you add
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: they added like another fifteen to twenty reps and threes
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: versus threes. Well, they're not getting that kind of thing
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: here in today's practice, nor in tomorrow's practice. So uh so,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a little less reps from a training camp standpoint for
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the Jaguar, So expect them to be a little bit
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: fresher for the preseason game this weekend on Saturday. I'll
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, guys, there's a matchup going on
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: in a sponsorship food tant over here across the way.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: The spread looks unbelievables. If I can get involved with
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: that matchup, I'm good today. We'll see if we can
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: get you over there before the end of It'll find
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: his way in there to play that X player's card.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: It's on the way back to the field and caps okay,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and that includes where the food. It's strong Logs. Enjoy it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your time. Thank you. Good to see it.

  Speaker 1: Auto Group from Egan, Minnesota. The Jaguars and the Vikings
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: dual practices underway today and tomorrow in the preseason game
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: coming up this Saturday in downtown Minneapolis. The voice of
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the Vikings, Paul Allen, is with us getting hydrated. Probably
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a good idea, Paul, on this warm Minnesota day. The
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Vikings of the chat. He's getting after it. Paul Allen's
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: here to man. How you doing, man? We're very organized
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: here in Minnesota, as you can see. However, when for
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the first time seeing Klaius Campbell as close as I
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: just saw him, I think I was so moved by
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the I know he's good. I knew he was good
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: in Arizona, but by being right next to him at
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: a joint practice, oh my god, I was just blown away. Right,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: how do you how do you feed him? We'll figure
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: that out. Because at first it wasn't this place is unbelievable. Yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: you like a hundred and fifty million bucks again, Yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the um you know with this with US Bank Stadium,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: which you'll see Saturday, and uh, with the quarterback Kirk
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Cousins contract three years, eighty four million guaranteed. Uh, the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: ownership group here, the Will family, definitely not averse to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: spending money to have a top flight accommodations. Yeah. And
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: it's only gonna be built up around here over the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: next two years. I'm sure everything around it to bring
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: in that revenue as well. Um, everybody passed the loss
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in the NFC game last year, or do I gonna
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: get passed? You know? Yeah, I mean because it wasn't close.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: If it uh, if it was a spine tingler kind
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: of like the O nine NFC title game came down
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to the wire, went to overtime. You know, in that game,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: we run up five yards, have five turnovers. Very it
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: was unbelievably frustrating to lose that game. You know. After
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the Minneapolis miracle in the New Orleans game, you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: you you kind of had the feeling emotionally and maybe
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: even physically it was gonna be a little different against
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia and it finished thirty seven. So I mean you
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: get mad, you from from a team standpoint, They figure
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: out what went wrong and then you move into move
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: onto the off season. Well that's the Jaguars perspective. And
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: that was a close game they had in New England,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and that's the spine table. Seriously, to be beating the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Patriots in the second half of an a f C
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: title game after going to Pittsburgh, and I know the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: final score was like five, but we watched that game
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: before our game against the Saints. I mean, seriously, the Jags,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: with all due respect to the Steelers, kicked the bleep
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: out of the Steelers in that game. And um, and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: then to be leading Tom Brady and Belichick in the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: second half on the road, I should I should be
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: asking you if you need the therapeutic to having a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: part of love more than I do. Op that Eagles
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: l it has been. Uh, it's been a tough few months,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: let's put it that way. Yeah, A good team just
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: got better. I think in Jacksonville too, and in Minnesota.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I mean the quarterback situation the last couple of years.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: You had the injury to Bridgewater, you had Bradford coming in.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: You had all these guys coming and going. Now that
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: has changed with Kirk Cousins and all that guaranteed money
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: going out the door looked pretty sharp in a short
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: time the other night. What else have you seen some
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Kirk around here? Well, the the two things I like
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: most in our game against Denver and UH one certainly
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: involves Kirk Cousins. But you know, we've had some offensive
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: line injuries early in camp. Left guard Nick Easton's out
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: for the year. Second year center Pad elf Line broke
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: broke his foot in the NFC title game. He hasn't
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: done anything. And right guard Mike Remmers got rolled up
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: on two weeks ago. He's just coming back. So you
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: have an offensive line in flux. But here in practice
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: with Dalvin Cook and Latavia's Murray and the makeshift offensive line,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: they've been running extremely well against the Vikings first defense,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: so we wanted to see that in a game against
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: another team. Secondly, the Vikings defense full of studs on
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: all levels, I mean, probably the best in the NFL
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: in the regular season last year. It has had the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: upper hand on the offense all training camp. So the
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: way we looked at it was when Cousins and this
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: offense does not face the Vikings defense. Let's see what
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: it looks like. You saw Cousins went for for four digs,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: blew up. The second offense looked really good. We scored
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: forty two points, which is tough to do in a
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: preseason game. Certainly, as Paul Allen with Us the voice
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Vikings, you touched on the defense there,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I think these are two of the top defensive lines
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: of tall. I mean that the Jaguars and the Vikes
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: going out. I don't know where your rank them. That's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: up for fodder everywhere else. But I mean, you guys
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: can hang with anybody, but it's not like huge household
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: names outside of Minnesota on the screw Yeah well, I mean, actually,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: if you want to lay them all out, I think personally,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Calais Campbell is probably the biggest name out of all
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: of them. Now from a Viking standpoint, and I know
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: both teams play for three. Daniel Hunter, Sheldon Richardson first
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: year here, you know, and and you know more about
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars depth than do I. If there's a better
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: for three true defensive tackle in the NFL than Lynval Joseph.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Somebody has to prove it to me. Then you got
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Everson Griffin next to him, so you know you're right.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, the names aren't the most prominent in the NFL,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: but the productivity is very, very good. Compliments the secondary well.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes, Trey Waynes, Harrison Smith, linebacker's Eric Kendricks, Anthony Barr.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: You know, Miles Jack for your squad. Jalen Ramsey, Oh,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I know it's not here. I mean there's high end
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: talent all over the place. Speaking to Ramsey not here.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Is that disappoint you guys not to see him? Or
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: double edged sword? Double edged sword? You know, I thought, um,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting, to put it mildly, that
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: two members of the same position group did what they did.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: That just I mean, to have a civil war like
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: that generally doesn't happen. The Ramsey situation. I'll let those
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: taking this in establish, you know how, what they want
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to establish from it. Um. I'm disappointed he's not here
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: because he's high end talent. I'm happy he's not here
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: because he gets after it verbally, and um, you know,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I think he and some of our receivers might have
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: slowed practice down a little bit with some extracurriculars. So
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: you always want to go against the best of the best.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Not saying Jailen is the best of the best, but
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: he's very good. Step on digs Adam thieland they're also
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: incredibly good. Would have been a heck of a matchup.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Too bad it didn't take place Super Bowl or bus
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: for the Vikes. I'm not gonna put the or bust
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: part on the equation, you know, I think, um, I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: think it's proven out over the years when you have
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: when you hit free agency hard the way we did
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: with Cousins at quarterback. Quarterbacks like that never become available
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: in free agency. And defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, former defensive
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Player of the Year defensive Rookie of the Year with
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the Jets, and um went to Seattle and he was
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: better than his stats would show. You know though, free
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: agents generally do well in their first year, but they
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: get better year by year. We also have a new
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in John D. Philippo, former quarterbacks coach for
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, won a title last year. UM, So if
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: somebody were to tell me the vikings along with the
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: likes of the Saints and the Eagles are the top
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: three favorites in the NFC to get to the super Bowl.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I'd completely agree. If the Vikings don't win the Super Bowl,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: win thirteen games and you lose a lose a barn
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: burner to somebody in the NFC title Game, it happens,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll see in Atlanta. Would be Yeah, what do
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: you think about the Jags and is the Super Bowl
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: or buss with you? I don't think the bust is there.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're all getting whacked that being in
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a conference with Tom Brady right, because that can always happen.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: As we saw last year, He's never out of it
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: if he's on a roster that has a chance. Do
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: you there five minutes away? Do you love Leonard for net?
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Good run? Love him? Yes, great player? You have any um,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: you have any guard, center, swing guys, you can leave
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: here with us. This We've had a paramount of offensive
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: line injuries and we probably we probably could use. It's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: the first time in a while the Jack's offensive line
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: has had the starters out there all camp. Blow last
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: year was having doors. So yeah, run games there, Blake's there.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: This is a team that can they can get back
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to the NFC title game. Have not no really just downtown.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: We got here last night. Yeah, so we've walked around
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit. The Twins. We're getting out of the game.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: So well, off our, off our texting to set this up. Um,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: you asked me where the Lulu Lemon store was. It's
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: on Level one, I believe west Side. Well just started
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: yoga a couple of weeks ago, so it'll be perfect
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: for me. And then the Lulu Lemon um stretch pants
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: or whatever they're called. They'll help. It's great, pretty good, right,
• 33:49

• 36:41
  Speaker 1: my tea pais Park. That's pretty on the other side
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: of the back in the day he had his symbol,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I had mine to go out on Lake Minnetonka and
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Okay, well there you go. Um,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: welcome back. Hey, it's time to get into our deep
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: tracks for today, John, or we get through the Jaguars
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: roster and give you a few guys to to really
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: watch for, not just for the game this Saturday. Then
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do it throughout the dual practice this week
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings as well. So, oh, shure, you
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: want to start us off with your five today? And
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: they call us up on my smartphone. JP, you have
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: a smartphone, you know, smart guy gets a smartphone? Do
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: my code here? Yeah? Uh my first one was D D. Westbrooks.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: It's gonna have graphics here. Available's why we're going off
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the smartphone. Uh. D D. Westbrook Uh. Second year wide
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: receiver is anybody who's read or or I watched the
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com coverage, he has looked so much better
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: than I thought. I didn't think he'd looked bad, but
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I did not necessarily expect to see evidence so quickly
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: of the second year jump and literally every practice he
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: has done something to make me think. Okay, I thought
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: maybe going into the season that he would be the
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: four and terrific depth, terrific guy to come in on
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: occasion if somebody got hurt. I wasn't sure he'd be
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: more than that. Now, I under Mark Easley, Donte Moncrief,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Keelan Cole. I think are still the three. But that
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: thing is getting bunched up and deed Westbrook to me.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I sit on drivetime this morning. More and more often
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you see the quarterbacks going back and looking at him quickly.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: There's a comfort level developing with him because he knows
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: where he's supposed to be in the offense. He's running
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: routes well. Uh, he's a guy to watch. Uh, getting
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: back to my smartphone, JP Tyler Patman with Jalen Ramsey
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: out working with the ones against these Vikings receivers. Patten
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: is gonna make the team. Uh, probably is the fourth guy,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: but watching him against these guys will be interesting. Laurenti
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: McCray Uh the third rush end behind in Gockway and Fouler.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Obviously with with Fouler out, McCray gets a lot more
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: reps than otherwise would have been the case. He's been
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: better at a rush end than I thought he was
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: last season, showing some signs there. I think they're okay
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: with him as a third guy Austin Sefari and Jenkins
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: simply because as a tight end, the Vikings defense is
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: so good. He really showed up Austin Sperry and Jenkins
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: did in O t A s. He showed up somewhat
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: during training camp. Haven't gotten to him a whole lot.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I haven't thought but to watch him if him and
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Blake Bortles can develop a chemistry against this defense this week,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: if he can make things happen, if bodes well, and
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: lastly Blake borts I know that's not really a deep cut.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I know he's probably like the first guy everybody watches for.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I probably won't mention him in these deep cuts throughout
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the preseason against this Vikings defense to see what he
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: can do with his receivers. He's established more chemistry and
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: consistency against the Jaguars defense than they did last year.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Can he continue doing that this year against or this
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: week against this Vikings defense. I'd be surprised if he doesn't,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: But it's something to watch one The Jaguars defense, of course,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: a great unit and with a different look altogether. Of course,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: when you get some different guys out there on the
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: other side. So I'm with you on the Blake. I'm
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: with you on the Tyler, Patman. That's a good that's
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: a that's a deep track by you today. I like
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: that here once in a while, throw your bone and
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: follow the follow your lead. Let's go with the shattered
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: deep taps today and start off with wide receivers, Shane,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: when you know the reps out here are always valuable,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: but they become more valuable over these next couple of weeks.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: He's practice reps because game reps go down a little bit.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe not a wide receiver where you're still trying some
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: things out your roll guys in a little bit more.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: But is Shane Wynn going to make this roster? That's
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: a question. I have d J. Hayden and a guy
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: they brought in to play that nickel spot you mentioned
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Patman moving over. Could we see some Hayden moving around?
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: But hey, they get paid him a lot of money.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Let's really see something standout corps. He'll get tested this week.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good one. Cam Robinson against this
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: pass rush for the Minnesota Vikings, especially in one on ones.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: We won't get to see much of it on the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: live show today. You might see some a little bit
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: later through highlights and such. Um, you know there's been
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: moments in camp where um, he hasn't been really great.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: You know, he's had his moments so far. Can he
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: take that step against another defense and and a different
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: look we'll see from Cam Robinson. I'm within Austin Safari
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: and Jenkins. Let's see if that can happen. And then
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Andrew m a Pauaca, the linebacker who led the team
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: or was close to the team leading tackles last week
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: among the top two or three. Uh, can they find
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: depth at linebacker? And he's a rookie, he's coming in.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Can he make some place? Can he stick around? Is
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: he a practice squad type? I don't think you'll hear
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the last of that name or playing by you, because
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: when you go deep track, you can go with anybody.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: And yet you chose a name hard to pronounce, but
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I pronounced it, but you had to work harder. And
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I'm against that. Apparently you are. He is a guy
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: JP kidding his side flashed a couple of times in
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: practice and had a big play last week in the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: game against the Saints. So I agree with you on Andrew.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Good job, Cam Robinson, left tackle? Um, you know it's
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: it's this is an offensive line John that's been together
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the whole camp. That's been the story. Jerry Parnell has
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: missed a couple of days here. They're not not a
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: huge deal. Cam is the left tackle, you know who,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: the left guard is, the center's lender. The can has
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: been the right guard the whole on Partnell, this is
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the group to's been together. But if you you're here,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Tony was sell each other and we'll try to catch up.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: We'll definitely catch up with him tomorrow in Jaguar's Happy hour.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: There's been some some footwork things, just minor things and
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: we don't know the detail of things get in there.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: They get weird with the offensive line. But it's a
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: it's a big year for Cam in a in a
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: big week for Cam. I think to see a different
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: lookout here, it absolutely is he if he stays where
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: he was, I thought he was okay for rookie last year.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: If he stays where he was last year, that's not
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: good enough for a second round pick. That could have
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: been a first that they expect to be the left
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: tackle for a long time. So as much praise as
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: we threw around for Cam Robinson the people nationally who
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: had him grade at lows rookie weren't wrong technically when
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: we said Cam Robinson had had a really good year.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Is because he was really good for what he had
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: been drafted for and looked the part and looked like
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: he was going to improve. If he doesn't improve, then
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: it's a concern. So it is a big couple of
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: weeks for him. It's a big year for him if
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: this line's going to be what they think it is.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I think a j can lender and Norwell, who also
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: isn't practicing, but he's back in. He by the way
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: traveled and is working on the side, which is a
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: good sign for him. I don't think his his calf
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: is long term, but I think the interior is gonna
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: be good. The key is when they signed Norwell, the
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: impression was the left side of the line is going
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: to be really fantastic. Got Robinson, Norwell and lender Well.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: In order for that to be the case, Cam's got
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: to be what they think he's going to be and
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: because of that, because he hasn't always been it is.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: It is a big couple of weeks in a big
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: first month of the season for him. Yeah, and so
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: those are our deep tracks today and we'll hear a
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: little more on the offensive line is will go on. Hey,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: uh coming up later today, what do you I'll probably
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: cover a little practice and uh, we'll be first off
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: the field right after practice. And it's always a good
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: first off the field, which is where I go over
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: the notes and things that happened during practice. Always good
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: when to dual practice because you get a little more
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: one on one stuff and you gettle more news in that.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: And then afterwards we're talking to a couple of players
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: just trying to get a feel for how this day went,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: how they think it helped him. And Uh, it's it's
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: so late in the day that it's sort of a
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: straight news type of writing off of this, and we
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: try to entertain you by being here on Uh Jaguars Happy, Yeah,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: and uh as we we are pretty much every day
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: and we'll be back again tomorrow as well. Uh yeah,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: good stuff going on on the fields behind us. As
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: you heard Logan say, the Jaguars field earlier today, they
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: have not touched yet the Vikings and the Jags. It
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: looks like they're doing some seven on seven stuff as
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: we speak, and some teamwork expected a little bit later,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: of course, and we'll be here for another hour or so.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: And the big difference for her fans who have been
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: out to these, a huge difference in this. And Jeff
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: talked about the first team reps, and that's true, they
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: get a little less. But in seven on seven, for instance,
• 44:50
