  Speaker 1: It is Thursday, June twenty. This is Jaguar's Happy Hour
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and now the Derek Trucks of Sports Broadcastings j peace
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Rick Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour J P. Shadick with
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman. No, Tony VASSELLI he's on another vacation. Surprise, surprise, surprise,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: another vacation, another one. He's he needed a vacation from
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: his vacation. I think he's got a vacation from now
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: all the way until I think the beginning of training camp.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's like a coach, but he doesn't put
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in coaches out. It's pretty good to be Tony. Good
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: for him, good for him. He's venturing to all parts
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: around the world. I don't know where he is this time.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I ain't no tell him him, no,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: tell so fortunate O here tonight you just heard him
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: here here, We're here, are Brent Reavers here on the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: on the video side. Nobody else, nobody here, hardly working.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I saw a tumble weed go down the hall earlier today.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: That's how it's kind of quiet around here. That's the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: time of year, man, That's how it is. Hey. Look,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: football has become a year round business. But this is
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: this is what they call the dead zone, and rightly so,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: because this is the time of year when nothing happened.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It happens for the most part with the football team
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and uh and even the business side of things takes
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a break because when the football
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: team is not in the news sometimes it's hard to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: generate that momentum on the business side. Correct. And then
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: when the team comes back and there's news about the team, Okay,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: then it's time to get the momentum going again. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, plenty to get to on this program tonight.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Jack del Rio with the News c d R your dialogues.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I wasn't wasn't here to hear it, but I heard
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: about it and then was told some of the things
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: he said. So we will definitely discuss Jalen Ramsey in
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the news. Why but he's not going to talk about
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: quarter he's in the news because he's not making news. Yes,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: so that's a step in the right direction, and we'll
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: go around the National Football League. Um, so let's start
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: with this Jack del Rio news that he was on
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: local radio Tuesday saying that he was blindsided when the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Jaguars drafted Blaine Gabbart quote. He wasn't a first rounder.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: He wasn't a guy to trade and go up to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: get him. That was not part of coaching, That was
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: not part of me. That was my first indication my
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: time in Jayvil was running short. Jack del Rio there
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and he later in the interview said that he had
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: gone into the buffet room, which is in the in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the meeting room or outside the draft room here where
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they have food set up for the folks in the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: draft room, and all that thinking the Jaguars are gonna
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: stay down deeper in the draft. And then all of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a sudden he's in there in the buffet and looks
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: up and the Jags are the clock. He's like, oh, well,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: there you have it. Okay, what do you make it now?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know Jack at all, So you gotta tell them.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Let me, let me, let me go back and kind
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of give you a frame of reference for what was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: happening in the organization at that time. And at that time,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Wayne Weaver was still the owner. Wayne Weaver was quietly
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in the process of selling the football team, so he
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: also Wayne Weaver had promoted a new general manager in
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Gene Smith. Jane Smith from what I understand, wanted to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: relieve Jack del Rio of his duties and was told no,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: because if you have an owner who is trying to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: sell a team, he doesn't want to have a coach
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that's binded with a contract, a new coach that a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: new owner may not want, So it makes a team
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: more attractive to keep things status quo. Okay, so that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: where Wayne was at. From what I understand, so Jane
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: was told, no, you have to work with del Rio.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So since Jean is the general manager and is running
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the draft, Jean, from what I understand, did not have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of favoritism towards Jack del Rio. So Jane
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is running a draft without including his coach and a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: lot of the thought process. Gene drafts a quarterback who
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: del Rio can say that Blaine Garrett was not a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: first round pick with all the hindsight and and you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: would think that he's accurate. At the time, Blaine Garrett
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: was viewed as a sure fire first round pick the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: cover of Sports Illustrated with Cam Newton. Yeah, so, I mean,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it's not like Gene Smith reached on a quarterback who
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: many viewed that was gonna be a fourth round pick.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: This was also the first year in which the rookie
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: wage scale was put in place, they downscaled, So that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I think Jean waited until
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that time to where he could draft a quarterback, knowing
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that now, okay, now we have a quarterback, We've got
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a wage skill going on. So
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: so for del Rio to say, first off, that Blaine
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Gabbert wasn't a first round pick is not accurate. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was he at the chat line the buffet line while
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the trade was announced. Probably so, because, like I said,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Jeans not like he was saying, Hey, Jack, what do
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you think Gene was trying to build a football team that,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in his eyes in the future didn't include Jack del Rio.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So a little bit of h I don't want to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: say you kind of argue with Jack del Rio's point
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of view. But Jack's take is from one perspective, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I think there's other perspectives to look at it from.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And uh, and should the head coach been involved in
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the process of drafting a quarterback in a fret world? Yeah,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: if you if you've got to, if you've got an
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: organization that is functioning at a high level and is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: working the way it should work, Yes, but this organization
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: at that time was not working very well. And so
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: so now you draft Gabber and then at some point
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the team is sold. Okay, shot Con takes over his
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: own and what's the first thing that happened? Everybody del
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Rio's fired, Jane Smith stays on because Jean wants Jack gone,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and then he hires Mike Malarkey, and then after one
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: year the whole thing is blown up. And then then
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you have the Gus Bradley and Dave Caldwell era that began.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: So um, I'm not trying to say that Jack is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: wrong or and I think in some cases what Jack
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is saying is is definitely on the money, and that
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it kind of shows you where the organization was and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: how I don't want to say completely dysfunctional, but I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: mean it's it's looking like that, right. I mean, when
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you've out of general manager in that coach who are
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: not unlock step, who don't know what one of the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: others doing, and who don't talk to each other because
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the one wants to fire the other one. What it
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: sounds like is the New York Jets of lead, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the last what they've had to get it was not
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a good period of time. And uh and and and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I think you could say that for many different reasons
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: from and first of all, Wayne Weaver. Wayne Weaver was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a tremendous owner of this franchise. He brought this team
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to the city. I mean, he did wonderful things. But
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: when when you when you approached those years, and you
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: could see that the organization that's streamlined, it was treaming expenses.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It was essentially trying to make this organization look great
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: in the eyes of the beholder, of the next beholder
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: or the next owner. So I mean I get it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I mean I totally get where where it was at.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: How how is your relationship with Jack? We were We
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: were fine. I mean, we weren't buddy buddy or anything.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: And and how many I mean did you guys back then?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I look him. I knew, yeah I did. I did
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: shows with Jack. But I mean Jack and I go
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: back to the point where we were. We were union
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: reps as players, and so I mean my first experience
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of getting to know Jack was as a union rep.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And then Jack was a union rep. And obviously Jack
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: had a reputation at that time that he kind of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: got in at low altercation in Kansas City when there
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: was the union and strike and all that kind of stuff,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and that was like night seven, and um so, I
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: mean I got a lot a lot of respect for Jack.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I think he's done a very good job as a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: football coach. And uh, we didn't go out and have
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: beers together, I can tell you that, but at the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: same token we had I think we had a level
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of respect for each other that was that was good.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing how how you talked about that time
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: frame from twenty eleven to thirteen, how much change there
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: was in this organ is nation with the ownership and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the three different coaches and the two different gms, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that was just a whirlwind of stuff. It wasn't It
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: was an era of dysfunction. And it was and I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: think doing large part because you have you have an
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: owner that is transitioning the organization to put it up
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: for sale and then so so and then the new
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: owner coming in doing it because you know, look, Wayne
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: didn't want to do anything that would have contractually obligated
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: him to anything, knowing that when an owner comes in,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he wants to be able to start at the beginning
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and do it his way. And so if you have
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: a coach or a general manager that you have twenty
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: million dollars committed to, that doesn't make the team attractive
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: from the standpoint of the owner coming in and wanting
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to do things his way or to have his people involved.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So so, I mean, I get it. I mean, it's
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: it's a it's just part of the deal. You know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it's part of the deal. And unfortunately, when it's part
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of the deal, it means that the football side of
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the organization, and in some cases the business side of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the organization suffers because the ultimate goal is now to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: sell instead of to run own organization. And some people
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: may argue with that and say, well, you know they
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: were doing both. They were accomplishing running the organization in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: a successful way, uh and at the same token having
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the organization up for sale. But look at the results
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and and look at what happened in that in that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: time frame, and and it's clear that it wasn't working. J. P. Shaddick,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Jeff Logman, Jaguar's Happy Hour. I feel like del Rio
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: has been in the media at least a good bit
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: lately since he's not coaching anymore. I mean, he was.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I think he'd contribute some to NFL Network. Now we've
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: seen him on there a few different places and now
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: doing some interviews here or there. Yeah, and my my guest,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: first of all, I think he does a good job.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I think Jack is very good on TV when Jack,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: when Jack wants to be good, Jack can be very
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: good on TV. And he's done some NFL Network stuff
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and I think he's been pretty good. And he's got
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a unique perspective because he's been a coach, UH and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he's been a head coach at two different places, and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: he's been a very successful defensive coordinator virtually at every
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: stop that he's been. And I think that his latest
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: UH firing when he was fired from the Los Angeles Raiders,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and obviously Mark Davis promoted or hired John Gruden, which
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: was his dream higher because he has a lot of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: history with Jon Gruden and bringing back some of the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the old era I guess you could say of the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Raiders slash Oakland Raiders. Now, I think that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's probably a little bit smart on del Rio's part
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to stay involved in the media from a national standpoint,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: because it still keeps his name in his face fresh
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and if you looked at the results of del Rio's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: tenure with the Raiders, yeah, not that bad. I'm okay.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I mean he did a pretty pretty decent job. So
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: if there is an owner at some point that's gonna
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: be looking at potential coaching candidates. With del Rio having
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a job in the media, it still keeps his name relevant,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it still keeps his face face out there. And uh,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and I think it's a smart move for him to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: stay involved if he wants to be a head coach again.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And I think he'll eventually get a shot at it again.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: He's Jack, still a young He's still a young guy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I mean he's you know, mid mid fifties ballpark, you know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: So he's shoot, he's got plenty of years left to
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: coach if he in fact does want to coach. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I mean he's not a jack. He's not a college coach. Okay, Yeah,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: he's been the league for so long. Well let me
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: let me cry. I think he's a coach, but I
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: think he his preference is to be an NFL coach.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Now does he prefer to be a defensive cordinn I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: don't think he wants to go back to that unless
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: he absolutely has to, but I think at some point
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: he'll get another opportunity at a head job. Again. Let's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: come back plenty to get to on this program. Will
• 12:56

  Speaker 1: going back to when skinnerd was here this past year,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I was there for the entire show. I thought BlackBerry

  Speaker 1: Smoke was the best live act that performed that night.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: About that wow, I thought that they were call me crazy.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I thought they were better, better than Skinnered I thought
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they were better than Kid Rock. Um. I thought they

  Speaker 1: were tremendous and they were early. Now they were early,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: said Marshall Tucker. You had all these other bands two

• 19:48
  Speaker 1: so good stuff. Checking out the show coming tomorrow night.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I'm fired up, can you tell um? Today at t
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I A bank Field, there's not many of the some
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: of the front office folks are gone and all that,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: but this is the last day or two of rookies around.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They get to stay another week longer so than the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: than the veterans. For some just programs around the building
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and little work and that's it. Well, today they welcomed
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a group from the Special Olympics here to t I
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: A bank Field. They did a tour around the building.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Then they got their own personalized jerseys. Are about thirty
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: campers here at thirty athletes here, and they got to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: sign a one day contract and then they got to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: meet the entire rookie class signing bonuses. I didn't read
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the contract. That's not my business, so I didn't want
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to delve into their you know, negotiations going on. I'm
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: just on the outside. I'm just a media guy. I
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: don't know. UM. So they go out to the practice
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the indoor field here and I got to run around
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: with the rookie class today for about an hour and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: it was just fantastic because you see, you get to
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: see rookies. You don't know a lot about them yet.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: You know, you talk to a few of the draft
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: picks and this and that, but you see personalities come
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: out that that just you haven't seen from some of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: these rookies before. And I don't know who had more
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: fun today, the campers or the players. First of all,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: it was fantastic. Let me let me say this, kudos
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to whoever came up with the idea of doing that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: where they signed a contract for one day, they're wearing
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Jaguars jerseys when they signed, they get the participate in
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: a day of activities with Jaguar football players. I don't
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: know who came up with that idea, but whoever did,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: what a great job. I mean, what a great job
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and providing a moment for for kids that are very
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: special and unique. And that's uh that certainly makes you
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: feel really good about the experience that they had, that's
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: for sure. We had a microphone on Josh Allen today
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and got to ask him about the experience as well.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I mean this, this is awesome man, being on here
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to support uh, not only but myself again in touch
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: of these kids right here, they're less pushing it. There's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of other kids, but man, I'm just having
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: a great time showing them that's special as well. And
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: now we're here from and uh, you know I just
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: had half fun. Hadn't let them half fun as well? Yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the entire class just show. They rotated the players around,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the kids around, and and U different groups doing different
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: drills and things. But you saw Josh Allen today and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you'll see the video of it on Jaguars dot com
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: right now. The story. But he basically was with two
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: kids all day, a couple of a couple of kids
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: who just were a little apprehensive I think about the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: whole experience. But he made sure that these kids had
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: a great time and he was with them, hand on
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the shoulder. He would go through the drills with these
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: two separate kids and stayed with them from drill to drill,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: just to make sure that he was basically protecting these
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: kids and making sure he had that in him. You know,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it was just fantastic to see something like that and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: all the rookies you can see are are involved and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and doing a really good job participating, you know, I did.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: It remind reminds me going talk about a history lesson
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: when when I first came to Jacksonville and signed with
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars. The Jaguars were the first team that I
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: ever remember, ever heard of, because I don't think anybody
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League was doing it. We had
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: contractual obligations in the contract that we signed to participate
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: in community activities things just like this, And I think
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Wayne Weaver and Dolores Weaver because they were such they
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: were so committed to community and charity that they wanted
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: their players and their team involved in the community. So
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: they were the first ones, I think in the NFL
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: to actually put that into a player NFL player contract.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: And so this this organization has a long history of
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: commitment to the community through charity and then player participation,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and it obviously continues under different ownership. And then also
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the job that Peter rac and the Jaguars Foundation that
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: they're doing, and I know Marcus Pollard has got a
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: lot of unity based activities that he's doing with coaching
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and all that. So it's good to see the things
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that were started under with with Wayne and Dolores still
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: continue on with this organization because look, the players do
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: so many committed community appearances throughout the year that people
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: don't even have any clue that happened. Back in the
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: early days, if a player went to the bathroom, it
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: was newsy, and so every community of parents or paid
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: appearance and in some cases that there seemed to be
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a TV camera at back in the early days. Nowadays,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it's it's not news to report on that stuff anymore
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: because it's happened so frequently and it's become kind of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: old hat to some extent. But but for those people
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that that may be wondering, you know, be proud of
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: what the Jaguars commitment is in our community because it
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: started out strong and it still continues to be strong
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to this day. And this year is the one year
• 24:57

  Speaker 1: was a rolling Stone. That wasn't It wasn't Rolling Stone,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: it was somebody else. This is gonna be a great show. Fired.

  Speaker 1: I had a big, good show. Look how many? How
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: many chances are you gonna have to see the Rolling Stones?
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I think you could have said that twenty years ago too,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: but I mean yeah, I mean really, remember I had
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to go see the Rolling Stone that was
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: in New York. I wanted to say it was Shay Stadium,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and then I didn't go, or couldn't go, or something happened.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: And at that time I remember thinking myself. This is
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be the last time, a last opportunity to
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: ever be able to see the Rolling Stones again. And
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I was just bummed that I missed it. And uh well,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: here they are again. Years later and another opportunity. Molly
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Hatchett had an album called Great Jacksonville Band. But Molly Hatchet,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: thank you very much. Rolling Stones coming now. Let me
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: ask you. I've never seen the Stone. Let me ask
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: you this question for you and Joe all right, because
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I heard you say the Rolling Stones the greatest rock
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and roll band ever. No, No, the world's greatest rock
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and roll band. That's how they build themselves. Okay, would
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you say that they are the world's greatest rock and
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: roll band? Yes, Joe? Your Beatles guy, man, I'm a
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: huge Beetles guy. Rolling Stones just just from sheer longevity.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: You can't argue with Zeppelin, and those are the big three, right, Zep, Zeppelin,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Stones and the Beatles. No, I know that Zepplin didn't
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: last that long. I mean, obviously with the past and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the bottom that it didn't last long. But I mean
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a great debate. They can go round
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and round the circles a debate I think there's a
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: lot of people that would debate you. I'm sure they would,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: but they're wrong. You're entitled to your own wrong opinion.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, you are titled to your own wrong opinion.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: You just are, uh speaking of you know, opinions. Jayla
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Ramsey has some opinions about quarterbacks, or did in the past,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Well maybe not this offseason. He was on Adam Schefter's
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: podcast recently and he was asked if he had any
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: thoughts on NFL quarterbacks, kind of jokingly after last year's
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: esp and the magazine and g Q articles and all
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the things that came out about quarterbacks around the league
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: being trash and all this. Um. He said, quote, you
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: want to do this again? Huh? And then I'm not
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: going to do this again. We do play some good
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks this year. Then he went on, probably the quarterback
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I'm most excited for is Nick Foles. Then he went
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: on about foles credentials and how he's excited that he's
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: on the team, he doesn't have to play him and
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: when he's brought to the locker room. So it seems
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: like a changed Jalen in terms of the answers, the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: way he's approaching that question moving, well, you hope, so,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, you hope that he's that he's starting to mature. Look,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I look when I was a young player and uh
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: and and and I'll never forget this because I was
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I was quoted in an article and this was going
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: back to when I want to say, I was like
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: a fresh sophomore and I was a starter at linebacker
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: at University of Virginia and I made a comment about
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: playing the position and then wanting to hurt people and uh.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: And that didn't go over very well with George Welsh
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: because I mean, you're talking about wanting to hurt people.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, that's that's not the goal of football. Uh.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: And this was kind of back in the Bolesworth era.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: And and I was a young player, and I still
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: had a lot to learn, and I learned a lot
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: from that. I had a long conversation with George Welsh
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: about it, because George wasn't gonna have anything of that
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: nature involved in his program and uh. And I learned
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: from it, and I think that I became a better
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: a better player, and I think I became a better
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: person for understanding where George was coming from. And George
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: was not a man of many words, but when he
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: did say something, you'd better listen because usually it had
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of wisdom to it. And I think that
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: would that Jaillen is no different. I think we all
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: are no different, and that if if you ever stop learning,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: you're kind of done in life. And I think that
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Jailen is still a young player, and he still has
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: a lot to learn, and I think that, uh, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I hope that he becomes a better player, a better
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: person through that wisdom and knowledge that he gains along
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the way, because at some point the physical attributes aren't
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to be at a supreme level anymore.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: And so when those physical tools or the tool kit
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: isn't better than everybody else's at some point, the mind
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: has to be able to compensate for some of them,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: maybe the physical shortcomings when I say physical shortcomings from
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: where he was at at some point. And so to
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: be a truly great player and to have longevity and
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: to become better as he gets older, part of at
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: is the evolution of the mind and also the deterioration
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: of the body, because that's natural. The body doesn't always
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: get better into your thirties. I mean, except if you're
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Maybe, and even with Tom Brady it has
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: you know, but I mean, I I get what you're saying.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: He's he's defied time from a physical point mainly because
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of what he has evolved upstairs. You know. Tom Brady
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: has become so smart and and so focused that I
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: think that some of those attributes that he has from
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: a mental aspect, has been able to overcome maybe some
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: of the physical shortcomings. And Peyton Manning was kind of
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: no different at the end with with the Broncos. We
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: saw his arm and at times it looked terrible, but
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: he had the mind and he was able to anticipate.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I think that that's a natural progression with
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey becoming um more veteran and better, and good
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: for him for not taking the bait, so to say.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: He did later go back on social media after this
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: when somebody pointed this out and said, Hey, I don't
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: get me wrong, I'm still gonna go talk from time
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: to time. That's kind of his game, that's what he
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: has and on game day, look, I looked talking trash
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: on game day. I mean have had it, you know,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: uh between the lines. Sometimes that's part of people's games.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: It was never I'm gonna say, it was never part
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: of my game. I mean there was times that you know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: you might have had a little bit of conversation with somebody,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: but really, wait a minute, you didn't. You didn't talk
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: to trash, not not not very much. But I mean
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: there were certain things that I might have said to somebody,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but I mean, no, I wasn't. I wasn't like jailing.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I think I think one of the one of the
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: only episodes that I ever got caught or involved in
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: which it was recorded, was it was with a running
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: back with the Tampa Bay Bucks, and he was the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: one doing all the talking. I'm like, dude, what are
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you talking about? Just shut up and play and he
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: just NonStop. I'm just like, God, you like that little
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: annoying dog. They just won't stop barking, but you but
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: you don't never bite. All you do is bark. Anyway,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Taylor Ramsey in the news because he's not in the news,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: so there you go. He it seems like, I mean,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: it's it's off season, that's is. This is why this
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: is a stearter. And I think the Jaguars are very
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: unique and first of all, they have two tremendous corners
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: on their defense because a J. Boyer is a tremendous player.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's tremendous player. Neither one of them had the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: year last year that they probably would have liked to
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: have had. I think the year before they were both
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: like number one and number two. And you look at
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: some of the different metrics that that graded them out,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: which was you know, a pro football focus and and
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: other avenues considered Jalen and aj at the top two
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: corners in the league two years ago. And I think
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: that Jaalen is is fortunate to be paired with a
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: great corner such as a J. Boy And I'll never
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: forget the days of Jimmy and Keenan because they were
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: two great players, but they also learned a lot from
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: each other. I think that Jimmy learned practice habits from
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: keen and I think Keenan learned some nuances of the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: game from watching Jimmy. And I think that Jalen and
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: a J can learn from each other and can better
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: each other. I think a J has a He is
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: a student of the game. You can tell by watching
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: his game on film that he studies the game he's prepared,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: he's he recognizes formations, he identifies route trees and combinations
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: of routes earlier than anybody that I watch. All your well,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: he remembered his background, he had to do. He was
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: an undrafted guy when he came in the league, and
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: he had to learn and be better and smarter than
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the other guy because physically he might not have been
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: there earlier in this and it's typically a trait and
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: undrafted because the undrafted guys the guy that had to
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: continue to work and got a really good work ethic
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: because it made him who he is. And I think
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: if Jalen were to watch, because I know Jalen has
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: talked to times that he's not a big as big
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: of a film watcher as some other guys might be,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: but if if he could watch a J and see
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: how a J does it, because a J is tremendous
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: at And when I was talking about how how when
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: the physical skills start to erode, the mental skills start
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: to get better, and then you can almost it appears
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: that your physical skills have never dropped because your mind
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: has gotten better. And I think that's part of the
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: evolution with Jalen is eventually, and I hope that he
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: watches a J and how he studies film, and then
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: eventually a J and Jalen will both have the anticipation
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: because when you watch film and you see a J
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: worker oute, he is anticipating it. When you watch Jalen
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: do it, he is watching it, but he's not anticipating it.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: But his reaction is so good and his physical skills
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: are so good. He's in the same position that a
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: J is without having anticipated something. And part of that too,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: might be trying to bait a throw here there. Of
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: that maybe, but it's fun why in the two of
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: them and you compare them on film, because you can
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: see that a J is a is a very strong
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: student of the game, and Jalen's physical skills are just
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: so much better than anybody else that he can get
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: away with a lot of slight mistakes that uh that
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: he's just he's got a depth of talent that is
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: just impeccable in his length. To have the length that
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: he does with the skill set that he does. I
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's ever been seen before. And I
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: said earlier that Jalen has something that very few have
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: ever seen in the national Football League. I mean, if
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: you go back to some of the early days where
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: he had mel Blount, you had uh the Jack Tatums,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: where they were very physical defensive backs. Jalen's really, I
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: think that the most physical corner in the game today
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: where he's not afraid to strike somebody. When I say
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: strike somebody, I'm not talking about I'm gonna hit you
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: when you're not looking. I'm talking about Jalen hitting some
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: buddy knowing that they're coming and he they see him coming.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: It's not like he's going for the legs or anything. No,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: he's hitting people, you know. And that's what I respect
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: about his game because you know, like to to go
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: to another Hall of Famer, Dion Sanders. Dion Sanders, no, no, no,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I mean he he used to say, you know he
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: has he would have to make a business decision, and
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: part of that business decision was was not choosing to
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: be a physical presence on the field as far as
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: making contact tackling. But his coverage skills were so good
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: that they didn't need him to be a tackler. So
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I heard the other day we're talking defense right now,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: you know. I heard somebody talk the other day and
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I forget who it was. How different this back seven
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: is since the a f C Championship Game two seasons ago.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: There's only three guys left. Three out of five are gone. Yeah,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I mean your safeties are going, your Nickels gone. And
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: but I mean, obviously you have a little continuity this
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: year because your Nickel's back. It's Miles Jack in the corners.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Basically Miles Jack and the corner the only players that
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: were on that field defensively in the back seven and
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the in the n FC champions Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of change. Back well, it's a lot
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: of change. But uh, and look at if you compared
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: this team's changed to other teams change in the National
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Football and I bet you it would be similar and
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: for different reasons, whether it be age, free agency, injury, whatever. Uh.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Change is a constant in the National Football League. That's
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: the one thing that is for certain. And and I
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: don't think that this team situation or the change that
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: has happened over the last year and a half two
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: years is any different than what other teams deal with.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Let's come back, We'll go around the National Football League Show.
• 42:46

  Speaker 1: is there could be some changes. We'll see. Cool, that's
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: a few weeks for it, So we need that time,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: some some some deer. Now we're talking in the middle.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: It is gonna put some taxidermy in here, just what
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: we need. It took us so long, I don't know.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: We've been waiting higher ups. Finally listen, you know, let's
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: go around the National Football League, shall we. Let's start
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: off when Kansas City where Tyreek Hill met with NFL
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: investigators this week, it was actually in New York regarding
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the recent child abuse allegations. He met with Lisa Freeo,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: the NFL Senior VP of Special Counsel for Investigations, and
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: a few other league officials. He was represented by a
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: personal lawyer and an NFL p A lawyer. It was
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: his first interview of the league regarding the incident. There's
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: no timetable for a ruling on the case, according to
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: the Internet report of NFL Network not A commissioner said
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: back in May that the league would wait until the
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: conclusion of law enforcement investigations before weighing. That's still going on.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: They haven't weighed in officially yet. It was an eight
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: hour meeting the other day. IM I don't know kind
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: of how to respond to this as far as what
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: my reaction is. But I can tell you this. The
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: audio that has him saying the things to his girlfriend,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: mother of his child is uh is disturbing. The injuries
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: to his son, which the investigation that I think is
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: still ongoing and they're trying to get to the bottom
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: line and all that is even more disturbing, like a
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: three year old son who ended up having a broken arm.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: And um, the history of that Tyreek Hill has is
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: not very good does with with his girlfriend slash mother
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: of his child, and and the league is kind of
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: in a a little bit of a tough spot here,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: you know, what do they do? Because if if you're
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: and the league has stated before that they have a
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: zero tolerance policy when it comes to domestic violence and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: that they will respond, how do you how do you
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: respond to this? I mean, he's got a history. Okay,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: there's no evidence, okay, but there's audio of threats. I
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: don't know where the this is gonna go. And the
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: chiefs knew about some of the previous transgressions prior to
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: them drafting him. I don't know how interesting it'll be
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: interesting to see how they and and here's the thing,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: if he were a bubble player. Nobody would care he
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: would be out of the league, but he is. He
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: is arguably the most dynamic, one of the one of
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: the top five most dynamic offensive weapons in the league today.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: And so that because of that, that gives him, that
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: gives him an opportunity to to continue to play, because
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: if he was a junk player be out of the
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: league he is, he would be Nobody would touch it.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Nobody would touch him. His Twitter handle is at cheetah.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: He's a fantastic football play. He is a great football player,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: but he is not a good human being. The football
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: side of things, of course, the Jaguars played the Chiefs
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Week one. Here at t I a baby. I mean,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: it's at the very least you I hope he's suspended
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks to start the season. Let's
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: move along to Buffalo, New York, where T. J. Yeldon,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: former jag bars, says the Bills running backs will have
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: a heated competition and article with the Buffalo News, the
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Bills added him, Frank Gore and Devin Singletary to join
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. That's a deep backfield. And then he said
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: this quote, coming in my first couple of years I
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: didn't have vets like that around me, like Gore and
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, which is true. Being here in this situation,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I can learn a lot from those guys. It's a
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: lot for me to take with me in my future years.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Is going to be hit at competition. That's one thing
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: they told me coming in, which I think is more
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: that that t. J. Yeldon said in that quote right there.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: They did it in four years here in Jacksonville. I
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: like the guy, but he didn't have a lot to
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: say around here. Well, I hope he learned a lot
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: from those guys, because after watching him on the bench
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: in Houston at the last game of the year last year,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: shows that he has a lot to learn yet. And
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Frank Gore might be one of my favorite players of
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: all time all time because well he's a great, great player,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: but I think more importantly he's a great pro. And
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: how how he's been able to battle injury and still
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: be a great player and and shows up. He comes
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: to work every day, He comes to play every week.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what a pros pro is all about.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: He's never shied away from an interview and uh, what
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: t J. Yelton showed on the sideline with Leonard four
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Nette last year when Tom Coughlin issued the statement following
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: that I did not reflect very well on where t J.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Yelton is at and so, and I hope he does
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: learn a lot because Lashawn McCoy, I think is a
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: wonderful player, But I think Frank Gore is a wonderful
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: player and a and a wonderful person who can be
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: a great example for many young players in the National
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Football League if I remember right, and I think this
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: is right, Frank Gore and I think Fred Taylor pretty
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: tight down there in Miami together even to this day.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: I think they've been close throughout not only their careers,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: but even after. That kind of tells you that the
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: type of person Frank Gore is. If you're hanging out
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: with a guy like Fred Taylor, that will be the
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: first one to tell you that when Fred was a
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: young player, he didn't do things the right way, but
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: he learned, he learned, he learned. That's how that works.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: The Bengals have an issue on the offensive line logs
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: that well, no, let me let me finish kind of
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: an issue. Well, it's not ideal when there's a projective
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: starter that's gonna maybe missed the season. The rookie tackle
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Jonal Williams, the first round pick, likely out for the
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: season after shoulder surgery, a torn labor and his left shoulder.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: He was expected to start and now will not be there.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: That's not ideal. Well, and I've I've had a torn
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: labor before, and I think the severity of terrors kind
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: of depend on what the rehab frame for everybody's recovery is.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: And uh, he was kind of an interesting prospect coming
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: out of Alabama because he played left tackle at Alabama
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: and obviously went against some of the best players that
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: there is in college football and played very well. He
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: does not have the length of a typical left tackle
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: that you would expect. You know, he's most tackles you
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: expect to be six five and a half six six seven,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: have thirty eight plus sleeve lengths somewhere in that range,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: whereas Jonah Williams is probably built more like an interior
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman. But the Bengals still envisioned him being a
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: left tackle. And then now he has a shoulder issue
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: which is gonna sideline him. And he was never a
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: big big guy. He is, you know, like when you
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: see Cam Robinson, You go, what a big man. He's
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: a tackle, He's a tackle. When you see Jonah Williams ago,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: he's probably a guard or a center. And uh and
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: what a shame that he is gonna miss the year
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: because of shoulder surgery. But look, the labor has nothing
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: to mess with because if you don't allow it to heal,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: then I think he risked yuh injuring it even more.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: And then we all know that you need a shoulder
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: to play football, so you better make sure that you
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: take care of this injury so that you can have
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: a long career. Finally, tonight, I look around the league,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Bill's defensive and Shack Lawson will pay for the funeral
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: of an eleven eleven year old South Carolina girl who
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: died after someone fired more than thirty five shots at
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: their home. Jenia Scott is the girl's name from Anderson,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. Her eighteen year old sister and eleven year
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: old cousin were also injured in the shooting. Lawson grew
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: up in South Carolina, played football at Clemson. He heard
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: about this and reached out to the family and he's
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: gonna pay for the funeral. It's a fantastic gesture for
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: for a loss, and to do that for a family
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: does not know. Obviously a tragic situation, but good for
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: loss in the step, I mean good for him, but
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I mean for something like that to happen. I hope
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: they catch who did it. They haven't yet. Then they
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: lock him up for a long time. That'd be nice.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Um is that? Or they take care of it before
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: law enforcement can get to it. There look around the
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: National Football League. We're done for a couple of weeks
• 57:19
