• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Shadwick with Jeff log of It, Jaguars Analyst, Newsy Thursday,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Newsy Thursday. Yeah he do. Man, well, I guess so
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: because of.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: The owners meeting, yeah, you know, and everybody kind of
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: has to talk, and then you also have coaches and
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: general managers that attend, and everybody seems to be available.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: So it's nice, you know, because I mean you go
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: back to the combine, which typically you get a lot
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: of verbiage at the combine. The Jaguars didn't go the top,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: you know, players obviously Liam Cohne and James Gladstone, Tony
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Boselli didn't go well. Here, Liam Cohne's there with Sean
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Cohn and Mark Lampy and a big announcement, big news
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: what going on.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from Liam Cohen coming up about how the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Jaguars handles success going into year two of this regime.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: That's coming up in just a little bit. But guess
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: what the Jaguars. This is the worst kept secret I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: think in the last six months or so. The Jaguars
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: are playing in Orlando at twenty twenty seven. It's official
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: now after a thirty two to nothing vote for you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: had to have the vote, Yeah, you had to have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the vote, you know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: You know, there was a lot of talk about Daytona,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Gainesville and Orlando. And Orlando makes the most sense, I
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: mean for a lot of different reasons. One the airport
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: for people to be able to travel and come to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars game related to the league, and then also
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: from a national perspective. But the facility there is in
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the midst of a four hundred million dollar renovation. It's
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a proximity to Jacksonville is perfect.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's got plenty of rooms, yes, absolutely, you want some
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: hotel rooms, yeah, you might find a few in Orlando's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: some other entertainment options on the weekend.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, So, I mean, look, it's not that far to
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: drive for Jaguar fans, and I think you could also
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: make a weekend out of it too, you know, if
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: you're a Jaguars fan, and Jaguar fans from all over
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: pretty much can get a direct flight to Orlando from anywhere,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So I mean that's a positive as well. That's right,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And now there will be some upset Jacksonville based fans
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just because they don't want to see any games away.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: For me, a small price to pay for the stadium
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in the future.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I thought, in my opinion, they should have closed the
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: stadium for two years.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Well that was the original plan, and then they had
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to come off that a little bit and play.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: You know, I get it, we're going to make it happen,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: but I think that havingt it closed for two years
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: probably would have made the construction thing easier.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, but you know, I get it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: You know, the fan base doesn't want to see their
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: team play for somewhere else for two years. But the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: reality is, I mean, it's kind of a short sighted
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: thought process. I think, in my opinion, be playing in
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: La or Saint Louis or some other city full time,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So this is what you get, you know, a new stadium.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what Camping World Stadium is going
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to be like, you know, because the renovation is expected
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to be finished up the summer of twenty seven. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: think the original looking at some of the past news articles,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: they were talking about possibly twenty eight, but then with
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the Jack Wars possibly playing there, that whole timeline I
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: think got moved up a little bit to make sure
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that it's done for that particular season. And they're having
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: renovations done across the board, I mean luxury suites, the
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: seats themselves, the amenities that's supposed to be pretty amazing.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's U and then the neighborhood around it. There's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the city of Orlando has been kind of like the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: out East neighborhood over here. It's near the stadium and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the facility. There's been some partnership to try to for
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that underserved community, to try to get things back on
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: track around, revitalized it a little bit. It's pretty cool.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So in the stadium itself, obviously it's been there forever
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but has undergone so many different renovations. They have had
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: NFL events, Their Pro Bowl has been played there, so
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it's somewhat NFL ready, locker rooms, all those things, whereas
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: in Gainesville and not quite I mean the locker room
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: for one side's great visitors, not sideline access, camera, sidelines,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: infrastructure that is needed on game day. It's just not there.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: The I was reading too, you know, because you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: obviously when all this started to go down, you see
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: all the different articles that pop up about Camping World
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Stadium and and Camping World Stadium itself, it's obviously, you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: manipulating or best way to say this, transversing the political
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: climate so to speak, you know, and handling all the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: different scenarios and so the the economic impact is always
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: a big talking point, you know about why why do
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: we want to renovate you know, the bed tax and
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: everything that they have down there, and they talk about
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: how big the economic drivers are.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: The Pro Bowl is one of the ones that's near
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the top, but the one at the top WrestleMania.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: So you know here when I'm envisioning some back to
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: back ae W and then Jaguar.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Events in the weekend's Joad come actually mentioned AEW is
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons they've had so much success in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that marketplace down here. Yes, Tony's stuff.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, look, could we see a ae W
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: version of WrestleMania camp in World Stadium and maybe a
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Friday night and then turn it and Jaguars.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Game on Sunday. Wow, Now that weekend, that's a week
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a weekend trip. That's a weekend to go down early
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: on Friday for that check it out ringside day, no doubt,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: no doubt. I'm sure you know somebody can get you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Then you know we might go shake hands with Mickey
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: on Saturday and then game day on Sunday. Yeah, or
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Universal or whatever. I'm a big fan of Universal Bay.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't like upside down roller coasters. No, no, no,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'm there. The whole motion thing doesn't fit
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: me very well anymore. You know. Back when I was younger,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I mean I used to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Get on the Tilted World and the Scramblers and god
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: all them other crazy things. That you had at the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: you know, the the fairs that used to come about,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: and then also the theme parks.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I'm in anymore now, No, I mean I'm good. We
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: had Bucky on a podcast on Wednesday, Huddle Up and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: asked him what you know. He said he wasn't even
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a fan of the teacup ride around.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's spin spin, it's not that fast. But
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: your favorite your favorite amusement park ride ever?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's tough. We used to go to six Flags
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta when I was a kid.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I've been there years ago and they had this, uh,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: this old wooden roller coaster called the scream Machine.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It was like the old style, like Tody Island kind
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of style that was pretty neat. They had this other
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: one called the Mindbender that you couldn't see it up
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: through the trees up. I never I didn't like that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I gotta say that just real quick on the whole
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: process of Orlando, because you know what, this is a
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: great opportunity to experience Orlando above and beyond the Jaguars games,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, make a weekend out of it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Space Mountain the first time ever wrote it because it
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: was in the dark, you want to talk.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I was scared to put my arms up, you know what,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you know, like what you do on a on a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: roller coaster.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: And I was so scared because I would see those
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: iron beams and I'm just picturing my thirty eight inch
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: sleeve length, you know, okay, losing half of my arm
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: and any other one. I believe it was called the
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Hull roller coaster, which is a relatively new one, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: it kind of starts to you start to click up.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: You know, most roller coasters click click click as you climb,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: and then it goes down the hill. That's how they
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: work this one, like click click clicking. Then you shoot. Well,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I never knew this, and so I screamed like a girl.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Like I screamed like a girl on that. And I
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: was a full grown man. I was about ten years ago.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Man, a little longer than that, maybe fifteen years ago. Wow, Yeah,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that was crazy. I think it was called the Hulk
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: roller coaster. I don't know. Yeah, that's what it is,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the Hulk according to sources, where it shoots you right
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: out of the gate.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Now you know you're used to that slow climb, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: then it goes downhill because it's it's gravity.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: This one's not gravity.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: This one like puts on the rocket ship and shoots
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you up the hill and then you go up over
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the top and you're like, oh my gosh. Back to
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars part of the Orlando experience. I'm sure very
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: soon there will be if you're interested in going to
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the games or having your season tickets, there's gonna be
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: some information on that coming out relatively soon.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's gonna be kind of yeah.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I mean sixty five thousand seats, I believe, is what
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the number is going to be after the renovations Campion
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: World Stadium, you know, and that's you're coming off of
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: what's what's the renovation year here of this year?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Going to be forty two here in this stadium this year,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but here in the Jaguar state, what's the number of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: about English? Forty three thousand? Thank you? It was I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that your hand motion was like distracting like like right here,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: like over my shoulders the stadium. There's a wall right there.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's there. I have pretty what's the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: city stadium capacity going to be here this year? It
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: means that kind of was that foreign language for you?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You know. I'll say this though. The other day, Yeah,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: drove around the north end of the stadium. Had not
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: been that way since they started rid of it, which
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: which real quick, by the way.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, the north end of the stadium used to have
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: the player parking lot, yes, okay, and that's no longer
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: a player parking lot.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: They've had to move it because they're working. They had
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to extend the construction, so there's a lot going on
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: over there. So I went over there and like you
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: can see into the stadium from the road right in
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: crazy because they're taking all the concrete out in that end. Yeah,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a big yeah.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: And I think they're supposed to be bringing in these
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: giant cranes. And part of the reason why that they
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: closed the player's parking lot on the north side of
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the stadium was as part of this renovation, they're going
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: to have two giant cranes, one on each side of
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: the stadium. And they say that these cranes are going
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: to be some of the biggest in the world. Wow,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: And that these two cranes will stay for the build
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: of the stadium. And so like the trains that we
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: see out there, now they say, are are gonna be
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: like small potatoes compared to the cranes that are coming
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: in for the renovation.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That's what we do here, world's biggest video boards, world's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: biggest cranes. It's gonna be pretty good. Grand staircases too.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the completed stadium. It's Statium
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in the future is gonna be amazing. Come on, it's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be amazing. Every team in the league's kind of
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you know, what's the old oldest ones now have been
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: renovated ten times also Lambeau.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think the interesting thing in this
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: whole renovation process is, you know, from a player standpoint,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: what's the surface? Yeah, that'll be the talk. What's the surface,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: what's the surface gonna be?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: What's the surface? What's the technology of surfaces? In two years,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: three years time as well? That can all change.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: And I don't think there's anything set in stone yet.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: But I think from a player's standpoint, if any way
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: shape form possible, grass give me, you know, and if
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: it's if we got to put grow lights okay inside
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: the stadium.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Like Wembley does that and they've got this the like
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: three percent synthetic with grass growing around it. It's like
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a hybrid.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Which the first, the first plane service that I ever
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: played that was like that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: You go back to when Cleveland.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Left Cleveland, Okay, the Browns left Cleveland, went to Baltimore, correct, Okay,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: and then he played in the old Memorial Stadium for
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: a little bit. And at that time, that was when
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: we were in the same division. Okay, So we went
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: up there to play and the stadium was terrible, I
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: mean terrible, terrible, but the plane surface was the best
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: in the league at that time by far. Nobody else
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: came close. And it was a synthetic, real hybrid combination.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: And that was the best plane surface I ever played
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: on in my career, college, pro, little league, you name it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: You know, some Kyle pastures were pretty good, but not
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: that good back in the day, you know, in little league.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: But it was fast, it drained well, it held firm.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: It was incredible. And so I don't know if something
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: like that is even a possibility, but if so, it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: It'd be great. What's the worst playing surface, Cleveland or
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: San Francisco in terms of a natural surface, Well.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: San Francisco wasn't great, but I mean, look the mistake
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: by the lake, which was actually built below lake level.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Was a soggy, terrible surt in Cleveland. And I remember,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: just a short story, just personal story, I actually tore
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety four. I tore the PCL in my
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: left knee at that stadium, on that field because it
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: was a soggy mess, and I never knew it, never
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: knew it. So I played the rest of the year.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: You know, I was medicated because of my shoulders were
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: a mess. And so anyway, I found out that I
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: tore my PCO when I was on a training table
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: here in Jacksonville getting ready for a preseason game in
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five in aug Euro season, and one of
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the doctors walked by and he said, do that again.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And I was just kind of rubbing my quad and
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: my lower leg was kind of flopping back and forth
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: like that, and he says the laxity in that. He goes,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: let me look at it. So he starts messing with it,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: and he goes, when did you tear your PCO? I said,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: what do you mean, when did I tear my PCL?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: He goes, did you ever have a knee injury? I said, yeah,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I had one last year. I said, but you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: I had so many shoulder issues and I was on
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: anti inflammatories and all this other stuff.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And I said, you know, I just threw icebags on
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: my knee too, you know, and kept playing. He goes,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you tore your pco. I'm like, okay, so and I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: did that on that field. That one was the.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Worst natural grass plane surface ever probably in the history
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: of the National Football League. The Philadelphia Veteran Stadium was
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: the worst artificial plane surface in the history of the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: National Football League in my opinion, terrible seems, I mean
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: just terrible, but the worst on one particular day. This
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: is even the worst one for just one day alone.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Was Houston, and I want to say it was like
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety two or three. Okay, they had had
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: the National Dog Show in the Houston Astrodome in the
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: days before the game JP. Yeah, there was dog dookie
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: all the inside the Astrodome.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Okay. As we were doing a walkthrough on a Saturday,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: we were sidestep in dog poop. Oh boy, tough to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: beat that one. We're back at a moment. We'll hear
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: from Liam Cohen, Jaguars head coach at the owner's meetings
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: this week. How do they handle success? We'll find out
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: on Jaguars Happy HOURD.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: We need to be guarded against as a staff and
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: as an organization is you know, we have a lot
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: of room to improve.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: We will.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: We need to get better and improved, and that may
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: not be thirteen wins.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I can't say that. I don't know what those results are,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: but I know if we're chasing those results, we're not
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: going to be living in the moment. We're not going
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: to get the best version of ourselves every day. And
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: so when we get back to this with that less
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: time as a coaching staff, with less time with the
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: players as not a new coaching staff, we need to
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: be as intentional as ever with the way that we
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: attack each day, be as clear and concise with the
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: players when they come back in about what that looks
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: like and how it's going to get done.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And we got no time to waste. S Liam Cohen,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Jaguars head coacher. Thanks to NFL Media for the video
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and audio from the AFC Coaches Breakfast earlier this week,

• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Honday Studios ten toon xl AM Jaguars dot com, Jaguars YouTube.

  Speaker 1: Glad you with It's JP Shadwick with Jeff Logoman. Liam
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Cohen also visited with Brian Sexton and John Oser on

  Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com. Yeah all that all that good stuff. Yeah?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Do you do you subscribe to the Jaguars YouTube channel?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I do. I go to it. When is the next
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Hunt episode? They're working on it right now. They were
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: in the lab today. I saw him working. I saw
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Gabby feverishly editing.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Looking forward to that, and Trent one of one of
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: what must watch Jaguars programming right there. Yes, behind the scenes,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: it is good stuff, good stuff, and I'm glad that
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: looking by the way, Liam looks great, looks great, you know.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: And and here's one thing that I will say, last
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: year was probably one heck of a ride for him,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: because you know, a little bit of a whirlwind, right,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're you know, you're not taking the job,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: are taking the job, and then you do, and then
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you've got to get your family moved and now you've
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: got to build a football team.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: You got to build staff.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I mean there's a lot going on and so tremendously
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: challenging the year the first year for an NFL head coach,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: and he handled it brilliantly. And so in year two
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: you have more time to plan to get ready for
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: year two and to make tweaks and adjustments to your
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: staff and the schedule and everything else. And you could
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: tell just from some of the statements that he made
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: about how we need to be intentional about how he
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: is very anxious and ready to get started. Yeah, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: would say with his players, Well, it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Is an opinion question. I guess is it more challenging
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: in year two with the thirteen wins in year one
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: because of the expectations now?
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, there is not a year in
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the NFL that can be more challenging than year one.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Every NFL coach that you talk to they always come
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: away with it and say, the first year my head
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: was spending so much. All the things are on your table,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: it's everything everything, it's everything you think you know and
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: you think you're ready to be an NFL head coach.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: You know what helps that? Here? Though? Is Biselli. No
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: question his role handles a lot of the things that
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a head coach would have to handle elsewhere.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Well Tony Boselli and James Gladstone and the way that
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: they built the environment in the building with all the
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: changes that Shatkhan made, you know, so great opportunity and
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: a great opportunity for the head coach to have success
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: in in a great environment. And so he looks great,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: he looks great, sounds great sounds ready to go. And
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I think that one of the great things about the
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: transition from year one to year two is because of
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: the success you had in year one, thirteen wins. Now
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: everybody wants to poach your staff. And there were a
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: lot of interviews for both coordinators, okay on offense and
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: And look, it seems like.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Everybody's going to be coming back intact, and I'm sure
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: that they're will be tweaks and some minor changes to
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: the staff.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Then some of them are probably so subtle we wouldn't
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: even recognize, right.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: But I think if as a head coach, if you
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: if you stand pat near two and just say, hey,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: we're just going to stay status quo, then I think
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: you're missing an opportunity to get better as the staff.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I think you always want to make subtle changes. Some
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: of them may be big and some of them may
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: not even notice.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's the old saying, I'm gonna get it wrong.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: But the status quo is not a thing either. You're
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: getting better, you're getting worse.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think the Buffalo Bills are like
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: the extreme example of you know, change. They believe and
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: have always believed that change in constant change is good.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: They believed it with their previous head coach, and then
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden that belief in constant change fell
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: into the category of the head coach, and so change
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: is being instituted and Buffalo to a little bit of
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: an extreme.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: But you know, look, I think it's going to be
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: fun to watch this staff kind of dial in this
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: year because now you can build on the foundation that
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: you established last year. And I think for that reason,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: there's nothing more challenging than year one. Year two is
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: going to be a challenge always because you're trying to
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: build off of success, and sometimes the success that you
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: had in the previous year can lead to complacency. But
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: here's the reality. You didn't win anything last year. Okay,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: you won the division, okay, but you didn't win the championship.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: The whole goal of playing is to win the championship,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: and so hopefully they come back with that mindset. But
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: in some cases, with a franchise and players that have
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: not had any success, thirteen wins is considered that we've
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: had a great year and you did okay, but that's
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: not enough to be satisfied on. You've got to you
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: got to strive for more.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know the team that was chasing them
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the whole way down the stretch is ready to get
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: better as well. Well right there in your own division,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: right and there's no doubt and so and now you've
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: got got a new staff also in the division that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a little bit of natural competition that's just kind of
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: inherent in this uh thing as we you know, you know.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And another, by the way, that was a note out
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: of the meetings this week that they buried the hatchet
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: from the old sign stealing. Yeah. I don't believe it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it. I don't believe that. I think
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: that's all for media. Oh, come on, come on, JP, I.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Mean, look, well you have a throat out at the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: fifty yards. No, no, okay, look I think I think that. Okay,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: there's not there's not going.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: To be a situation to where after the game there's
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: gonna be a brawl.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think they're past that. But do you really
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: believe that.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're laughing and joking about it, and we're just
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: gonna just let it be in the past.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Let bygones be good bygones. Ain't no way. Yeah, maybe
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: they'll score buying it. I'm that extra touch. I don't care.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I don't care what Liam says, I don't care what
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Rob says. I'm not buying it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Let's let's run that. Let's get that extra touchdown and
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: go up four scores. Why not? You don't right, You
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: don't right. You know in fact that moment, because that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: moment happened, you can't ignore it. Oh no, okay, because
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that moment happened, Okay, that makes Jaguars Titans even more competitive.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: You don't think for a minute that both of those
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: guys highly competitive guys don't are always are They're always
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: gonna remember that moment and just being around Liam Coleen
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: one year and it didn't take you a year. It
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: took a whole lot less than a year to find
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: this out about him. He keeps score, he keeps, he
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: keeps and let me tell you this, JP, he has
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: a memory, so does Roberts. I just see them. So
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I think it's uh.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna make for a good theater. I mean, look,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: do you want your divisions to have heated robbery?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You want it?
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: And so I think Houston is natural because the Jaguars
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: in Houston were battling down the wire last year to
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: see who's going to be the name of the South champs.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Now you have this.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: New rivalry, I guess, renewed rivalry because it's always been
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: there with Jeff Fisher, going back to the early days
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: and Indianapolis, you know. And then also let's also, Gus
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Bradley is the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Now you know so, And look, we love Gos, but
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: we don't love Gus anymore. Not twice two days a year.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: We don't like We don't like him on those days,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: not at all, especially when we have scored an extra
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: touchdown on him. He did run it up. I don't. Yeah,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that's good stuff. That'll let's come back. We're gonna go
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: around the league a lot happened. We'll get to some
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Jaguar notes as well out of the league meetings this week,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: including quite a few of them, including an offensive lineman
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: who's gonna get a fifth year and I like that. Yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: we'll get into that when we come back. It is
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour. Welcome back. It is Jaguars Happy Hour
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: from the Honday Studios, JP Shadwick, Jeff Logoman if you're
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: watching us Jaguars dot Com Jaguars YouTube. A drone shot
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of the construction of the Stadium of the Future, including
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: cranes that apparently will be dwarfed soon.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see them things get there, you
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: know what. I'm also looking forward to seeing how that
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: stadium kind of takes shape for the one year during
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: the renovation, you know.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: How Yeah, where are the seats, Yeah, I mean where
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: will they be? How will you get entry?
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, yeah, And then they're going to
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: try to continue to work on the stadium while the
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: season is in progress. I mean that's a lot of challenges,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: you know that that they're going to have to be
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: able to navigate.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: We'll find out obviously when the schedule comes out. But
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: here in kind of Mark lamping touch around it. You know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: they need about a month mid season to work on
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: some real key parts of the stadium during this season
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: coming up. So that's why the two London games. I
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: think they're hoping for a bye week after that and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: then maybe a road game after that. That would be
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: four straight weeks away from here, and then they can
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of infrastructure that has to be done
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: in that month time.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: I think now you can make that work. I mean,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: that's nothing that's new. I mean this team has had
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: i think times where it's been four or five weeks
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: away from the stadium before, so I mean that wouldn't
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: be anything earth shattering.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: We'll see when the schedule comes. That's usually the first
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: week in May or so early after the draft.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Second, I mean the NFL tries to you know, the
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: NFL has done a masterful job of kind of handling
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: and owning the offseason, you know, because you go from
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: the end of the season and then you have the
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: hiring process that is always generating news for the new
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: head coaches. Then you have free agency that rolls into
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the draft, and then after the draft, then you have
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: actually practices OTAs and mini camps and then you enter
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: that dead period in June. But that draft and then
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: also the schedule release and then the mini camps OTAs
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: I mean are tremendous. I mean, you're you're I mean
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: you're not playing any games, but I mean you're the
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: kind of front and center story a lot of times
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: on the sports.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Page, right the schedule's coming out, right, and there's a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: whole show and shows off shows about it, and I mean,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: we we do it. It's it's it's wild.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine, you know, because nowadays you have you
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: have the ability of with computers to help you manage
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: the schedule, But can you imagine trying to handle the
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: schedule in days of old? Well, yeah, when you were
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: just you know, you just had pieces of information in
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: pieces of paper and you were trying to to generate
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: some type of schedule that makes sense for everybody. I mean,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: nowadays you've got you know, AI and you know, the
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: computers to be able to help you out. But you
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: also have a lot of things to handle. For example,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: like the Jaguars.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Need to be away from the stadium for a month
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: or so at a particular time, so that has to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: be entered in kind of as that stadium or as
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the regular season schedule comes out.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, everybody has something like that to deal with
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: with different events that may conflict or they can't have
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: a game on.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: This particular data weekend. This reminded me of a baseball
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: story actually, going back a little bit. Gosh, so baseball.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: How many games of baseball? So here's the story, right,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: so one hundred and sixty two games? Right, there was
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: a husband and wife team that created the schedule from
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball from nineteen eighty two to two thousand
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: and four. Come on, they did it. It was them,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and they did it by hand for a while, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: then they were replaced by I'm reading the article right now,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: a professional computing firm took over in the early two thousands.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they who is the couple, husband and wife team?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And I remember this story. I just looked it up again.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Henry and Holly Stevenson, and they were the ones that
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: did it two thirty games in twenty six weeks. Wow
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you imagine that? Yeah, that's crazy, Yeah, pretty pretty wild. Yeah.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: And now, of course the league has computers that put
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: all these things in and.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't mean it, so you maybe we should
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: do that later on the segment, ask us what would
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: be the most ideal schedule? Oh gosh, you should try
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: just to see what the it spits out as an answer.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I love it that and we'll get to the co
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: pilot coming up, and you know, but all of a sudden,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: it's like, ask it this and this and this.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Now we do one question to show. Now we're gonna
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: have to do like a full segment. We just like
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: randomly bring up co pilot. I think what we did
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: that with Trayvon? What what kind of contract should Trayvon get?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, right, you do whatever you want. Hey, let's
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: go around. Some news and notes from the Jaguar this
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: week for the NFL Annual meeting. Jaguars will take the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: fifth year option on right tackle Anton Harrison. Smart move,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: And that's the benefit of drafting a player in the
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: first round versus the second round is that you have
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: that fifth year option. If you're in the second round,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: you don't have. That player goes to free agency. And
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I think it makes sense. I thought Anton had his
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: best year by far as a pro for a lot
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: of reasons. I thought he finished better than he had
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: ever done in his career.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I think his.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Performance was consistent, more so than ever before. You also
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: looked at the toughness factor. There were some times where
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: he got dinged up a little bit and played through
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: some things, which was impressive to see. So there's a
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: lot of things that you really like. And I think
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: that the influence with having Tony Boselli around and also
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: different moments you could see that Tony talked with him,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: but then also the job that the coaching staff did
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: with him. I think all of that combined allowed him
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: to have his best year yet. And here's the crazy thing.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of room for growth. I really believe
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: that with him. I think there's another level that he
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: can reach. He's got the feet, I think to do
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: anything that he wants to do, and that's where it's
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: got to start with an offensive lineman. If he doesn't
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: have the feet, then the athleticism, the balance and the
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: power and all of that stuff that goes along with it,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: there is no chance. But he has that. Is he
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: an elite hall of fame at that level? I don't
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: know if he is, but he has elite feet that
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: can carry him to wherever he wants to go.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: That carry him to left tackle. I said for years.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: I mean you remember JP, I was saying for years that, hey,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: look Anton Harrison should be your left tackle.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: He played it in college. Oh absolutely.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: I think it's a natural fit for him because typically
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: you have your most athletic tackle at left and then
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: you have, you know, some guys that may not have
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: as much athleticism but more power on the right side
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: of last team. See, most teams are right handed running
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: the football absolutelyly on seriously, So will that happen? I
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: don't know, but I think that that's going to be
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: one of the things that will be very interesting to
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: watch as the OTAs in the mini can troll round.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Mike Draco ESPN was out in Phoenix reporting that whenever
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: cornerback Travis Hunter is clear to return to the practice field,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: he'll be spending more time taking reps on both sides
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: of the ball. Remember last year, the bulk of his
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: off season was on offense because they wanted him to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: learn that first. They're going to flip it up now.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any rush to get Travis Hunter back.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Everything's on schedule, it sounds like, so they may not
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: force him out there in OTAs unless he's just fully ready,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: but should be ready to go for training camp certainly.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. And you know, I want to
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: see him on the grass in the off season. Don't
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: want to have to wait until training camp to see him.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: And so I don't know what the timeline is. I
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: don't know all the particulars about the surgery and the
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: rehab and all of those things, but you know, you
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: hope to see him out sooner rather than later. I'd
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: rather see him at some point in the offseason, mini camp,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: some OTAs. You know, you don't want to see all
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: of a sudden him on the off to the side
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: all the time and then all of a sudden, hey,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: we got to wait until training camp because that kind
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: of puts him behind. Because if the more that he
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: can do football drills, the better he'll be going into
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: training camp.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Also, the Jaguars have had preliminary discussions with Trey bon
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and Walker, Brenton Strange, and Parker Washington defensive end, tight end,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: wide receiver respectively about contract extensions. Walker will be getting
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: fifteen point two million this year on his fifth year
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: option season.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: And I think all those those are foundational players. To me,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: foundational players, that's that's the core of who you have
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: to you have to reta so that going forward, they're
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: part of the building blocks, and there are the culture centers.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I think Parker is an excellent player, not only just
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: as a returner, which kind of originally was the value.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: With Parker than this year.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: The emergence that wide receiver really impressive, really impressive, And look,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I think he has another level that he can get
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: to and Trayvon's a big bully, but I also believe
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: that he still has a lot of room to grow
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: as a pass rusher. He's gotten better. I thought this
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: past year was the first year that I actually saw
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: him actually have a plan at times as a pass rusher,
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: but the injury slowed him down tremendously. One hand, yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: and multiple injuries that he had in Breton Strange. I've
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: been saying it for a number of years. You guys know,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I'm president of his fan club. I think he's the
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: one of the most well rounded tight ends in football.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I think he's right up there in.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: That George Kittle kind of category that he's an excellent blocker,
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: dominant blocker at times, and really good receiver. After the Cats,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: he's one of the best in the league. You know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: he just hasn't done it consistently like a George Kittle,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: So he's not quite into that category, but he's.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: In that mold getting there for a long time.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a long time, a long time. And Brenton Strange
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: is one of those guys that he elevates those around him.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: And here's the best part about him. If you've got
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: a list of fifty things that you'd like to be
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: able to ask a tight end to do, Okay, there
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: might be some that you say that there's no chance
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: we can ask player X to do that. Brenton Strange,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: you say, here's the list of fifty things, and he goes, yeah,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I got you.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: What do you mean, No, I got you. I ask me.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: To do any of those, I don't care. He's he's
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: one of the most unselfish team first players that I've
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: ever have ever covered and watched because he will do
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: anything to win. And that's the thing that is the
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: best part about Brenton's range. On top of how how highly.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Competitive he is team first, highly competitive building block. Yeah,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: that's the kind of character guy you need in the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: building that you're looking for. That's exactly what you're looking for.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: And If you can get a bunch of those guys,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you're gonna win a lot of football games, and you're
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: gonna win Super Bowls. A couple other notes from around
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the league today, the Raiders signing veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: He was cut by the Falcons, so likely selecting Fernando
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Mendoza number one overall as well. Would they pay him,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: you don't know. Didn't see that yet. Coach Cliff Kubiak
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: said this week he would prefer not to start a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: rookie in Week one given the right scenario. So they
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: just made the scenario signing Kirk Cousins. I think that's smart.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's smart. And when.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: The young quarterback is ready to play, then you play him.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: But you know, here, Kirk Cousins is in another scenario
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: to where nobody wants to see him play.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: A Cousins agent announced the deal. He'll they'll pay the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: four time Pro bowler twenty million dollars in guaranteed money
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the eleventh straight season. How many year deal? I think
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: it's a one year, no club option for two years
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: at eighty million. It could be worth over up to
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy two million over five. I don't know,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: this is who knows. It just came out this morning, Okay,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: But either way, eleventh straight year that Cousins contract is
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: fully guaranteed. And here's the here's because he was franchised
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: a couple of time in Washington. Give him credit because
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: he he has he has done a really good job
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: of maximizing his earning potential as an NFL player and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: was one of the few that bet on himself and
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: continued to win again and again. Yeah. I mean, he's
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: in the Business Hall of Fame. And what's his total career? Yeah,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to look it up right now. It is.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a number that's going to literally
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: shock a lot of people. Yeah, he's made three hundred
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: and twenty one million dollars playing football.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. How many years is he is he now
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League? Oh? Gosh, A long time, you.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Know, because he just there there And I don't know
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: if there has been very many that have played the
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: game on on a yearly average at the level of
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: income that Kirk Cousins has been at.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: He's played fourteen years. Twenty twelve is his rookie season.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Fourteen and three hundred and some odd That's that's pretty
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: good average.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Good for him. Didn't even start for three years. Good
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: for him. Boy GeV was behind RG three. They was
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: drafted the same draft. I didn't even play for a
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: couple of years. Ray. Another couple of notes from around
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the league, Bears president Kevin Warren said Wednesday that the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: team hopes to choose a site for their new stadium
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: late this spring of early summer. Could be Hammered, Indiana
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: or Arlington Heights. Illine. The Indiana site lives is actually
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: closer to Soldier Field right now than Arlington Heights is
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: because it's right next door. Yeah.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: But but here's the thing, the whole Arlington Heights thing. Okay,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: they've got like three hundred and twenty four acres ready
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: to develop. Yes, Okay, so you're talking about and it
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: has a train station, so you've got train station land
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: to be developed. And as we've seen in the National
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Football League, and you know, much like a little bit
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: here in Jacksonville, you've got four seasons in a Jaguars
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: office building. You know, teams are doing a lot of
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: this multi use development around the stadium itself. And the
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Bears already own three hundred and twenty four acres or
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: whatever it is right there where they want to put
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: the new stadium. So I think the preference there is
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: for the Bears to be in Arlington Heights.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: But there's politics. You need a little kick in the
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: pants sometimes to get things done. Yeah, you know, and look,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Indiana's making a real run at it. Give them credit.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: States ponying ups of money, allegedly, say.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: And Indiana could end up having two professional football teams.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: They might. They might also one. Another note, NFLPA executive
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: director JC Tretter said Wednesday, the NFL player safety requires
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: trained professional officials on the field. The NFL is now
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: compiling a list of replacement officials and plans to start
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: training them May first. The CBA with the referee union
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: expires May thirty first.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked a little bit about this last week,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: and I think everything is a little bit of posturing,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: and the date to get the deal done, unfortunately, is
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: once you start playing real games. And I think there's
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: there's going to be a missed opportunity this year to
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: take advantage of the off season training to get everything
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: better because of the negotiations. You know, you wish he'd
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: had some other way to create a deadline that isn't
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: when the game starts actually being played.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Well, come back in a moment. We'll hear from Shot Khan,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Jaguars owner who spoke in Orlando this week, and I
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: guess he spoke. He's speaking Phoenix in Orlando.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: And there's some congratulations in order for a certain segment
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: of Jaguars coaching staff.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get to that when we come back, as
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: well some accolades. This is Jaguars happy hour.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: When you think about getting all that perfect while you're
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: playing your home games on the road for a season,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: you can understand the league's insistent that everything must be right.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: So and I believe the league got it right yesterday
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: with the unanimous approval of Orlando is our home here
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: next year in twenty twenty seven. So I do want
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: to thank Commissioner Roger Goodell and the other thirty one owners.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Obviously we were sold on Orlando from day one, and
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in particular for their support and
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: in really making all this happen along with all the
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: people who are here. Obviously wouldn't happen.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Without you, Jaguars owners. Shot con in Orlando this week.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars home stadium site in twenty twenty seven, and
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: it's now time on Jaguars Happy Hour as always to
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: go to Microsoft co Pilot to get more on the
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Jaguars temporary home. The question that I submitted today how
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: many Pro Bowls have been played in Orlando? The question
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: is answered, four Pro Bowls have been played in Orlando
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: so far. These were held at Camping World Stadium from
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen through twenty twenty before the event moved to
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas and later returned to Orlando in twenty twenty four.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: That one note on that four actual Pro Bowl games
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: were played there. When it returned from Vegas. It was
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl game's event, not a game golf. So
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: that's that's the trick a little different for actual Pro Bowls.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: And obviously the site was Hawaii prior to all of
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: that for many, many.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Years, long time, right. Yeah, it's just a lot. I
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: don't remember exactly how many in Miami one year. Yeah,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: but it was a Loha stadium. I'm looking at the
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: history that was kind of the nineteen seventy nine it
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: was the first time it was in Hawaii. Yeah, the
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: draw of Hawaii was kind of a reward, I mean
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: because the players got a paid, all expense paid vacation
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: and so that was one part of the allure. And
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: then you know, obviously money gets bigger and players can
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: buy their own vacation and Hawaii and the effort became
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: less and less and less. Is that kind of traversed
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: through the years. Back in the early days the fifties,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: the NFL Pro Bowls before the AFL was around, that
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: was always the Coliseum in LA in the NFL, AFC,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: NFC Pro Bowls for the first couple of years were
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: in LA. Then they moved around different stadiums, and that
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I was like way back. I mean we're talking in
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: the early seventies. Yeah, way back until seventy nine. And
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: then they went to Aloha Aloha Stadium. Never been out there.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I have not been there either. I've been to Malley
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: a bunch of times. Well that's Hawaii. It's the same state, no,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I know, but it's not the same island. It's not.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: There's different islands. JP has a chain. I just just
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: let you know. Archipelago, I think is what it's called
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: an archipelago. Yeah, I guess geography terms. Yeah, the Islands.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: That was a geography minor, by the way.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: For the record, by the way, congratulations to the Jaguars
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: training staff.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so big deal. Earlier this offseason, big deal, the
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Jaguars athletic training staff was named the Training Staff of
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: the Year by the Professional Football Athletic Training Society, headed
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: by Jeff Ferguson. A first, great job. That was back
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: in early March.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: As soon as that came out, I texted Fergie on
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: that said, congratulations, you and your staff should be very proud.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: They worked their rear ends off. Congratulations to all of that.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: And that was in March, which is outstanding the news.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: And then today the Jaguars strength and Conditioning and Performance
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: science staffs were named the Alvin Roy NFL Performance Team
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: of the Year by the Professional Football Performance Coaches Association.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: So too long to say that again, No, I'll let
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: you say. Led by Eric Ciano, the director of Strength
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: and Conditioning, a big staff there. So both the athletics
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: training staff and the strength and conditioning staff best in
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: the league. And I mean it's it's it's amazing that
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: you could have two segments of the support staff win
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: awards and one year together.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's pretty incredible and if you if you
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: have any doubt as to how how they earned that,
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: I mean it was multiple, multiple different ways. But I
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: think one of the things that made this so attractive
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: for this football team with eric Ciano and Wood, he
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: instilled go back to what was called the Iron Jaguar
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: in the offseasons, which was like an all season battle.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: So the team had multiple teams within the team and
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: they competed in different events throughout the off season, some
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: in the weight room, some in the indoor facility. There
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: were agility things, there were weightlifting things, pull up things,
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: a million different things, and the Iron Jaguar events, I
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: think allowed this football team and a lot of newcomers
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: to get to know each other and to bond, and
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: that's when you really have a lot of bonding. And
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: the participation rate was I think like one hundred percent,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: which was amazing. And they had different guys from different
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: aspects that got to know each other on these teams
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: and you had, you know, mixes. You had defensive guys
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: and offensive guys that might have been on the same
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: group competing for the Iron Jaguar and pretty amazing. But
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: to go back to the actual name of the award itself,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: because I think there's interesting. It's the alt NFL Performance
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: Team of the Year by the Professional Football Performance Coaches Association.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, who is Alvin Roy? Who is Alvin Roy? Born
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge. Okay, his dad worked for Standard Oil. Anyway,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: he kind of grew up and became involved heavily in
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: believing that strength training and weightlifting had a direct impact
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: on athletes to make them bigger, stronger, faster, because for
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: the longest time many believed that weightlifting could be detrimental
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: to athlete to athletes at times.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: And he was at LSU and for a very long
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: time and helped develop a lot of different guys.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: But he was the first strength and conditioning coach in
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: the National Football League when he was hired by the
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Chargers in nineteen sixty three. Pretty amazing, I mean, the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: first strength and conditioning coach in the NFL. And he
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: also had another.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Reason why that he kind of became notorious in some ways.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: He was the first athletic coach or strength and conditioning
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: coach to have his players take anabolic steroids.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Oh well, okay, how about that, which was before steroids
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: were looked at in a negative light. But yeah, so
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: that's the Alvin Roy and obviously the progress that he
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: made as a strength and conditioning coach, I think far
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: outweighs the whole antabolic steroid thing. But I mean it's look,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: it's part of the history of the game, and it's
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: part of the history of peds in professional sports, and
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's a But anyway, congratulations to Eric Schiano
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: and his staff. Very well earned and I'm looking forward
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: to seeing the Hunt as it covers the Iron Jaguar
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: again this year because they did a great job of
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: covering it last year. Lukin's team won it last year,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: by the way. And you think Foy is a little competitive, Yeah,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: And you know, here's the thing.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: If you've ever watched Foya Lou can play football, Okay,
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: And when I say this, and I mean this, I
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: don't know if I've ever seen a guy play with
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: the stamina that he has. And there's only one way
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: that you can play with that kind of stamina. Number One,
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: you've got to have great conditioning and number two, you've
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: got to be one competitive sucker. And all you have
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: to do is go back and watch the Hunt when
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: the Iron Jaguar was going on to see how competitive
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Foyer is.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: It is pro to a season. April six, Teams that
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: hired a new head coach can start off season workouts.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: April twentieth. Clubs with their turning head coaches can begin that.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: That includes the Jaguars. We'll do this again next week.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: We will. April twentieth is not so late. I know.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: That's what happens when you're successful. Don't fire everybody.
