- 0:28Speaker 1: books will recap it all coming up and that Yeah,
- 0:32Speaker 1: we'll hear from some Jacks players as well there in
- 0:35Speaker 1: the building this week. That story has been overshadowed a
- 0:38Speaker 1: bit the last. We didn't even know the town they're around. Yes,
- 0:42Speaker 1: we'll here here about his parking lot, JA, we'll go around.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I thought about them. I have to walk further. I
- 0:49Speaker 1: need a cart to pick. You get your own private
- 0:51Speaker 1: parking spot. When you get your name on stadium parking
- 0:54Speaker 1: j with you. UM, it's a lot close to you
- 0:57Speaker 1: need to write somebody a letter on that. We've got
- 1:00Speaker 1: your name work on that, you know, is uh a
- 1:03Speaker 1: good idea? Um, who's gonna come right in the loading
- 1:06Speaker 1: dock and right here? But perfect. Yeah, what about is
- 1:10Speaker 1: it t I a bank now? Is it official? Well
- 1:13Speaker 1: they announced today. Did you not watch the state of
- 1:15Speaker 1: the franchise there? JP? But when is it? Like, when
- 1:18Speaker 1: do we start with Une? I think in June. So
- 1:22Speaker 1: my point is it's still EverBank until June. So you
- 1:24Speaker 1: just screwed up the open of the show. Is my
- 1:25Speaker 1: home point trying to help our sponsor out. Man, I mean,
- 1:28Speaker 1: what is that? No, they're still ever Bag. No, they're
- 1:32Speaker 1: not yet. They're still ever Bank June. You're an idiot,
- 1:36Speaker 1: all right? What is this April? Yeah, okay, it's a
- 1:39Speaker 1: couple of months ago. Let's start to show over. Let's
- 1:41Speaker 1: open it up again from ever Bank Field Jacksonville Jacks,
- 1:44Speaker 1: Centralist Jaguars Thursday JP Shattered, Tony was Selly, Jeff Flagman.
- 1:49Speaker 1: One of those announcements today was the upcoming name change
- 1:52Speaker 1: though Yes, thanks June all that's coming up in June. Yes,
- 1:57Speaker 1: the renderings of the sports complex what the Jags in
- 2:01Speaker 1: the city hope to get done here. Uh, those are
- 2:03Speaker 1: the first time those have been public. That was interesting
- 2:06Speaker 1: to see. You guys just mentioned that the lot j
- 2:08Speaker 1: it's more than just a well, it's kind of confused.
- 2:12Speaker 1: And you guys got to kind of help me out here,
- 2:14Speaker 1: because the last time that that I saw rendering, it
- 2:17Speaker 1: was more the river front. Yes, that's changed a bit,
- 2:20Speaker 1: and and so that it's and it went all the
- 2:23Speaker 1: way up towards you know, shipyards. Yeah, and then they've
- 2:26Speaker 1: changed it more towards Memorial Park. We're kind of shifting
- 2:29Speaker 1: it for I think I don't know the exact environmental
- 2:32Speaker 1: or some of the shipyards cleanup was supposed to be substantial.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I think that's part of the reason I think they're
- 2:37Speaker 1: gonna make that a park. From what looking at the renderings,
- 2:39Speaker 1: that's what it looks like. And the message I got
- 2:42Speaker 1: from it was for anything to happen on the waterfront,
- 2:45Speaker 1: there still has to the overpass still has to be
- 2:47Speaker 1: taken down, which is a federal and state issue, and
- 2:50Speaker 1: d OT and a lot of stuff. And so they're saying,
- 2:52Speaker 1: here's what it could possibly look like one day once
- 2:55Speaker 1: that's approved on the riverfront. But we're for the first
- 2:58Speaker 1: time letting everyone know we're focused on a lot j
- 3:02Speaker 1: because we can control that now. The same reason the
- 3:06Speaker 1: Amphitheater Daily's place shifted from being on the river initially
- 3:10Speaker 1: in the renderings but then again, when that overpassed, there's
- 3:13Speaker 1: political and governmental issues to get through to take that down.
- 3:18Speaker 1: And that's why they shifted it two years ago and said,
- 3:20Speaker 1: let's take care of what we know we can control,
- 3:23Speaker 1: and that's on the footprint of the current today and
- 3:26Speaker 1: that's why Daily's places where it is, and that's why
- 3:28Speaker 1: I think a lot J is going to be the
- 3:30Speaker 1: focus in the near term. And I think the renderings
- 3:33Speaker 1: on the riverfront are what possibly could happen, but very
- 3:38Speaker 1: very down the road, a lot of some hoops have
- 3:41Speaker 1: to be jumped through before you get the hoops, before
- 3:43Speaker 1: even phase one, and there'll be multiple phases of the construction.
- 3:46Speaker 1: We're sitting here with a brand new helmet on the
- 3:49Speaker 1: desk here and the Jaguars dot Com studios there it is.
- 3:54Speaker 1: What do you think of uniforms, guys? I like it,
- 3:57Speaker 1: uh classic, Like I said with you got it before,
- 4:00Speaker 1: I was more leaning towards a flat black, but I mean, look,
- 4:05Speaker 1: I like it. It's classic looking. I love how the
- 4:07Speaker 1: uniforms kind of simplified. I like it. I like the
- 4:15Speaker 1: teal pants kind of kind of a cool color rush
- 4:17Speaker 1: kind of look to it. You don't have teal pants right, No,
- 4:19Speaker 1: no nobody ever had, I think Brian said today during
- 4:21Speaker 1: the white pants and white tops teal tops, no black even. Yeah,
- 4:27Speaker 1: my favorites the all white personally, but I think I
- 4:31Speaker 1: get the clean look. I think, I think, I actually
- 4:33Speaker 1: that's not I like the three all colors, so all white,
- 4:37Speaker 1: all teal, and then I like, I like all that,
- 4:40Speaker 1: and then I like the teal pants with the white jerseys,
- 4:42Speaker 1: or the teal jerseys with white pants. I think my
- 4:45Speaker 1: least favorite is the Teal jersey black pants. I'm with you. Yeah,
- 4:51Speaker 1: that doesn't con't done, doesn't flow. But the one thing
- 4:55Speaker 1: I like about this is just personal test. The one
- 4:58Speaker 1: thing I like about all the color combinations and everything.
- 5:01Speaker 1: I like the simplicity of it. Uh. My favorite college
- 5:05Speaker 1: jerseys are the colleges that haven't gone to all these
- 5:07Speaker 1: freaky different things like Alabama and see, those are my favorites.
- 5:12Speaker 1: They're basic, it's traditional. I think that's what Tom said
- 5:15Speaker 1: basically in his statements. It's iconic. Uh, it's an iconic feel.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I like the simplicity of what they've done with the jerseys.
- 5:23Speaker 1: And I like the helmet too. That looks good. I
- 5:26Speaker 1: was coping that or the one thing that I did
- 5:29Speaker 1: like with kind of the rebrand a few years back
- 5:32Speaker 1: was the Jags logo. Oh the little the shields thing.
- 5:36Speaker 1: I like that, and that's kind of been phased out.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Maybe it's still gonna be available, you know, with some apparel,
- 5:43Speaker 1: uh that the team won't wear. Maybe fan of Parela
- 5:45Speaker 1: and we're showing that, we're showing the jerseys on Jaguars
- 5:48Speaker 1: dot com. Is that teal more of a blue teal
- 5:51Speaker 1: than the old It's a different teal too. It might
- 5:54Speaker 1: just be the view on here. I'm not sure. I
- 5:57Speaker 1: don't think they would change. Well, I'm looking at Joe
- 6:00Speaker 1: Steal and I'm looking at that teal. It's different. It's
- 6:02Speaker 1: a different teal. Well right, well, whatever it is that?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Uh is that more blue than that picture right there? Yeah,
- 6:12Speaker 1: it's a little different. Again, I'm not a fascion expert
- 6:16Speaker 1: or a color expert. It's almost a little more pastel,
- 6:21Speaker 1: he says, I don't know. I like him. Here's here's
- 6:24Speaker 1: the one telling me about different kinds of paint. A
- 6:26Speaker 1: couple of weeks. You should know this. Here's well, I
- 6:28Speaker 1: mean I know about the paint. But the one thing
- 6:30Speaker 1: I do like and from a broadcaster standpoint. The numbers
- 6:33Speaker 1: so easy. Yeah that I like the numbers because they're
- 6:35Speaker 1: easy to distinguish and to pinpoint. I know that. I
- 6:39Speaker 1: think it's uh, twelve inch numbers on the front, fourteen
- 6:42Speaker 1: inches on the back or whatever it is gonna be. Uh.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And they don't have any background trim to the number,
- 6:48Speaker 1: so it's white on black or you know, black on white,
- 6:52Speaker 1: whatever it's gonna be. And I like that. So I'm
- 6:55Speaker 1: holding this teal shoe. Is this teo different than the
- 6:59Speaker 1: teal we're seeing on the screen. It's a little different
- 7:01Speaker 1: to me. I'm not sure. I'm not a teal expert.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I'm not either. So you were the Team Teal commissioner, right,
- 7:08Speaker 1: yeah you should be. Maybe not, Maybe you're not anymore.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Didn't you hear that that was a program that was canceled? Yes,
- 7:15Speaker 1: I did hear about that. He talks about that today.
- 7:19Speaker 1: He didn't get very favorable reviews from the President. What
- 7:23Speaker 1: were you doing? I got fired. You got to run
- 7:28Speaker 1: out of there, run out of town. But he brought
- 7:32Speaker 1: that up. I started putting my head down, hiding jar
- 7:35Speaker 1: kind of down the program. I was going, jeez, man,
- 7:37Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm not to sell you right now, that
- 7:41Speaker 1: was some good news today during the presentation clamping was
- 7:45Speaker 1: the seat the new season ticket members that are coming
- 7:47Speaker 1: in this year. Thanks for all your hard work. Yeah,
- 7:50Speaker 1: way to go, Tony. It was stupid, though, gonna take
- 7:59Speaker 1: that portion out of history. Just forget about this year.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I was like, well, I actually I understood what he
- 8:09Speaker 1: was saying, because it's what it was a reference to,
- 8:14Speaker 1: is it was a different time. It was actually even
- 8:17Speaker 1: before shot on the team, and it was when there
- 8:19Speaker 1: was like thirty thou people coming into the games and
- 8:22Speaker 1: every game was blocked out. And the initiative was and
- 8:24Speaker 1: they discounted tickets to do it, and discounted them if
- 8:28Speaker 1: you had if you bought multiple years and three year
- 8:30Speaker 1: packages and stuff like that. And and Mark was referring
- 8:34Speaker 1: to it, uh incorrectly. It's skewed and lowered our average
- 8:39Speaker 1: ticket price compared to our league. And one of the
- 8:40Speaker 1: goals is to get back up to where we're, you know,
- 8:45Speaker 1: near where the arrest of the league is as far
- 8:47Speaker 1: as average ticket price. And that was the point. And
- 8:50Speaker 1: he's right, I mean back then, the initiative was it
- 8:53Speaker 1: was a very uh different time in this franchise at
- 8:57Speaker 1: that point, but the goal was different at the time.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Let me just ask alright, I got ask him questions
- 9:02Speaker 1: because he enjoyed me getting to barry. It was brought
- 9:06Speaker 1: up today and and that the tactic of arm twist
- 9:09Speaker 1: team was used. Did you did you twist arms? Oh?
- 9:16Speaker 1: I just had to when he when he said that,
- 9:19Speaker 1: I was like, oh tonight, I can't wait. Um, there
- 9:25Speaker 1: was different. I mean, if you remember back then, this
- 9:29Speaker 1: is I mean me twisting arm or twisted in a
- 9:33Speaker 1: different way, uh because I think we forget. I mean
- 9:37Speaker 1: that was that was back when every other week was
- 9:41Speaker 1: a story that this team was moving to Los Angeles
- 9:45Speaker 1: thousand twelve. Um, I mean this was every day. I
- 9:49Speaker 1: mean the national media. The story was this team was
- 9:52Speaker 1: leaving because of lack of fan support. I mean and
- 9:56Speaker 1: if you remember back in that those days, I mean
- 9:58Speaker 1: the stadium was half I mean it was empty. I mean,
- 10:01Speaker 1: you're your effort, you were Savannah everywhere, everywhere. The position
- 10:06Speaker 1: that it was, I think it was two years before
- 10:09Speaker 1: uh Sean became the owner, was like, if this team
- 10:13Speaker 1: doesn't start selling tickets and the fans don't start supporting it,
- 10:16Speaker 1: it wasn't a you know, like a veiled threat. It
- 10:20Speaker 1: was like I think, I think everybody in this building, Jeff,
- 10:23Speaker 1: you were here, was pretty much fingering we might be
- 10:27Speaker 1: going to l Ah. You know something, something had to
- 10:30Speaker 1: change and had to change. And so I mean the
- 10:32Speaker 1: part was the part of the message back then to
- 10:34Speaker 1: Mark's point of twisting arms and the message like listen,
- 10:37Speaker 1: we need to support this team otherwise, you know it
- 10:39Speaker 1: might not be here. Um, so I guess, say, Uncle,
- 10:43Speaker 1: buy some tickets. I wouldn't go that. I wouldn't go
- 10:45Speaker 1: that far. But it was yeah, but I knew I
- 10:49Speaker 1: was gonna hear about that as when as Mark was
- 10:52Speaker 1: talking of that, I was like, huh, it's not gonna
- 10:54Speaker 1: be good for you. It's not gonna be good. It's
- 10:57Speaker 1: not gonna be good for me. Tonight. They we're gonna
- 10:58Speaker 1: come back and get into to some of the other
- 11:00Speaker 1: presentations today, including the end zone decks. They're changed a
- 11:05Speaker 1: little bit inside ever bank Field. By the way, a
- 11:07Speaker 1: source says June fourth, the name change becomes official. Source.
- 11:16Speaker 1: He sits in the booth. It's on the road. The
- 11:19Speaker 1: possible check out jacketedy is Audie Jacksonville. I'm planning you
- 11:22Speaker 1: can lease a beautiful new a three from just to
- 11:25Speaker 1: nine a month. Fit over Today for the Tales, it's
- 11:29Speaker 1: Jaguars Thursday on Jaguars Radio. I've always believed the Jaguars
- 11:42Speaker 1: are really it's the power of Jacksonville. Uh if you
- 11:47Speaker 1: developed if it's obviously football team, but it can be
- 11:49Speaker 1: a civic asset economically and otherwise. You know, the area
- 11:53Speaker 1: we're sitting in has had some challenges, uh, ecologically or otherwise,
- 11:58Speaker 1: and you know, the city and the state eight obviously
- 12:01Speaker 1: are helping us and in the meantime things we can do,
- 12:04Speaker 1: for example last year opening up the Amphitheater and the
- 12:08Speaker 1: indoor facility. But I think you know, we have a vision,
- 12:13Speaker 1: we have partners now, uh to really make it a
- 12:16Speaker 1: reality and be something iconic I think globally that will
- 12:20Speaker 1: reinvigorate the city. And I think number one thing for
- 12:24Speaker 1: us is you want to have entertainment, you want to
- 12:27Speaker 1: have people lived there, but you gotta have jobs. And
- 12:29Speaker 1: we're really focused on getting people to come and work
- 12:34Speaker 1: in the area and not be where you know you
- 12:38Speaker 1: have people coming in and out. So this our goal
- 12:41Speaker 1: is to permanently changed as part of town in a
- 12:45Speaker 1: good way. There's shot com Jaguar's owner after the state

- 15:44Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna take advantage of the dog dog
- 15:48Speaker 1: park in the south end zone. But I'm going to
- 15:50Speaker 1: take advantage of getting some that gear grunts gear, because
- 15:52Speaker 1: that is UH stuff. I started the company with twelve
- 15:56Speaker 1: dollars in his own pocket and grace story everything. It's

- 21:41Speaker 1: Jack Wars Thursday rolls along Skinner Kid Rock, Jason al
- 21:46Speaker 1: Dean coming Labor Day weekend. Very cool and they did
- 21:49Speaker 1: a great job. You know, those guys didn't have a
- 21:52Speaker 1: prepared speech. Was your first clue? Hey, By the way,
- 21:59Speaker 1: I want to go back early in the week because
- 22:02Speaker 1: I don't want to people to forget about this, because
- 22:03Speaker 1: I know today was a big day with all the
- 22:05Speaker 1: state of the franchise stuff. I thought, I thought Monday
- 22:08Speaker 1: was a really really cool, classy event for one of
- 22:12Speaker 1: the classiest guys that ever donned the Jaguars uniform. Tell
- 22:15Speaker 1: tell us out. Because I was out of town, so
- 22:17Speaker 1: I wasn't able to be there. Well, tell the people
- 22:19Speaker 1: and me he retired. But what did they do? How
- 22:25Speaker 1: they It started out with Telvin Smith basically doing the introduction,
- 22:30Speaker 1: and it was very emotional for Telvin. I mean he
- 22:33Speaker 1: and but he did a great job. He lost it
- 22:35Speaker 1: in the first sentence and never got he tried the
- 22:38Speaker 1: whole way three six minutes. But he spoke from the
- 22:41Speaker 1: heart and he and he talked about how important that
- 22:45Speaker 1: Paul was to him, what he meant to him personally,
- 22:48Speaker 1: what he meant to him professionally. H what he's gonna
- 22:51Speaker 1: miss about him? Uh, what a pro he was. And
- 22:55Speaker 1: and Paul got up there and thank god that Paul
- 22:59Speaker 1: didn't you know, get terry eyed too, because I mean,
- 23:01Speaker 1: telling already got me a little teary eyed, you know,
- 23:04Speaker 1: listen to all that. But it was he did a
- 23:06Speaker 1: great job, very respectful, very complimentary of Pause. And then
- 23:10Speaker 1: when Pause got up there, I think Pauls did a
- 23:13Speaker 1: great job of really explaining why that he did it. Uh.
- 23:17Speaker 1: And then also it was very thankful to everybody in
- 23:20Speaker 1: the organization that helped him along the way. And I
- 23:23Speaker 1: think that that was and he used the word servant
- 23:26Speaker 1: many times and because you know, a player can only
- 23:30Speaker 1: do so much by himself, you know. And he complimented
- 23:33Speaker 1: the video guys, the trainers, the strength and conditioning staff,
- 23:36Speaker 1: the coaches, Jim Scott, the ticket Jim Scott, the ticket guy.
- 23:40Speaker 1: He said, look, you know, you're always there for us
- 23:42Speaker 1: and help take care of you know. And and that's
- 23:44Speaker 1: just the kind of I mean, he's the ultimate pro.
- 23:47Speaker 1: And and I think Monday just further confirmed that, you know,
- 23:52Speaker 1: having guys like that that grow your next generation of
- 23:56Speaker 1: of players that are in your locker room are so important.
- 23:59Speaker 1: And so I hope that Miles Jack and Telvin Smith
- 24:04Speaker 1: can you know, become the type of pro that Pause was,
- 24:09Speaker 1: and that eventually they can pass that down to the
- 24:12Speaker 1: next generation of Jaguars player, because that's what it's all about.
- 24:15Speaker 1: When you're building, you know, sustainable winning organization, you have
- 24:18Speaker 1: to have quality people like Paul pas Lesnie and uh,
- 24:22Speaker 1: congratulations to him, and I said it to him afterwards.
- 24:24Speaker 1: He simply was an absolute joy to watch, a joy
- 24:27Speaker 1: to cover. And he's one of the best, one of
- 24:30Speaker 1: the best. It's ever a ward deal. We got about
- 24:33Speaker 1: that and nothing else that I can say. I was.
- 24:35Speaker 1: I was sad that he was leaving UM as a
- 24:39Speaker 1: player UM because what he meant to this organization and
- 24:42Speaker 1: how he had on himself. And I always loves seeing
- 24:44Speaker 1: him around the building and on the road and and
- 24:47Speaker 1: he'll be missed, so pretty pretty cool too. At the end,
- 24:50Speaker 1: he uh, you know, they asked him what's next, and
- 24:54Speaker 1: he said grad school. He's gonna try grad school for
- 24:57Speaker 1: about a year and a half. I think what he said,
- 24:59Speaker 1: what's he gonna study? You know, I don't know. He
- 25:02Speaker 1: didn't business or yeah, I mean, what would you study
- 25:05Speaker 1: if you went back to make business? Or was the
- 25:10Speaker 1: other one? He said, yea and so and then he
- 25:12Speaker 1: said the next you study if you went back to school,
- 25:14Speaker 1: because you're limited. I know that. Thanks Tony. I'm limited.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Huh Why am I limited? Because you can't do math? Okay,
- 25:24Speaker 1: you're not overly smart? Okay, to get back to positive
- 25:31Speaker 1: as a lot of an interesting comment that he had
- 25:35Speaker 1: that he said he's gonna be calling Todd Walsh up
- 25:37Speaker 1: in a couple of years because he wants to big coach.
- 25:39Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's always said that he wants to
- 25:41Speaker 1: be a coach, so uh, pretty cool. I mean, look,
- 25:46Speaker 1: it's hard, you know what, if he wants the coach,
- 25:48Speaker 1: I recommend doing student later because if you get out,
- 25:50Speaker 1: it's hard to get back in after a while. Yeah,
- 25:52Speaker 1: and one saying a lot of guys that I mean
- 25:54Speaker 1: with with a guy like that, though, would you want
- 25:56Speaker 1: to have a guy like that your organization? You know,
- 25:58Speaker 1: in some capacities. Absolutely, But I'm just my point of
- 26:02Speaker 1: saying it's it's there's a lot of guys who want
- 26:05Speaker 1: to do it, and the way longer you wait, the
- 26:07Speaker 1: list gets longer. Mean, the greatest opportunity is right when
- 26:10Speaker 1: you're done. I'm not suggesting you do that. I'm just saying,
- 26:12Speaker 1: if that's what he wants to do, he don't he
- 26:14Speaker 1: doesn't need to wait three or four or five point
- 26:16Speaker 1: and and listen. I mean take a year to figure
- 26:19Speaker 1: out what you want to do. I think that's I
- 26:21Speaker 1: wasn't there to listen to everything. Like I said, I
- 26:23Speaker 1: was out of time. But based on what you're saying, Jem,
- 26:25Speaker 1: it sounds like he has a couple of ideas what
- 26:26Speaker 1: he'd like to do it, but he wants to kind
- 26:28Speaker 1: of feel it out and you know, take a deep
- 26:29Speaker 1: breath and figure out what it is. I thought it
- 26:31Speaker 1: was interesting and that he said that, you know, you know,
- 26:34Speaker 1: trying to find something to replace professional Kimball. He said,
- 26:39Speaker 1: it's gonna be the hardest thing. And I wanted to possible.
- 26:42Speaker 1: You know that you're you're never going to find something
- 26:43Speaker 1: to replace that. It's just it's not possible. You know,
- 26:46Speaker 1: there's nothing that you can replace the camaraderie, you know,
- 26:50Speaker 1: the challenge that walk on the field, all the euphoria,
- 26:56Speaker 1: every all the butter, I mean, just the whole field
- 26:58Speaker 1: a positive and negative. Yeah, I mean, you just you
- 27:00Speaker 1: can't get that anywhere else. I mean, the most alive
- 27:04Speaker 1: you feel that's crazy, but but it's but there's what
- 27:08Speaker 1: are you laughing at other feelings to hear you guys
- 27:11Speaker 1: say that, But I mean, that's even now you don't.
- 27:13Speaker 1: You don't lose that. No, I mean that's the one thing.
- 27:15Speaker 1: I mean, I think me and Tony both you know.
- 27:16Speaker 1: I mean, hell, he's what. You're in your forties now,
- 27:19Speaker 1: you just had your birthday that JP, thank you for
- 27:21Speaker 1: the birthday wishes. Joe didn't wish me anything, did. I
- 27:26Speaker 1: know it's Tuesday birthday, but you're you're probably having surgery,
- 27:30Speaker 1: so I forgive you for your Joe, you have no excuse.
- 27:34Speaker 1: You're a loser. Um, Hollywood, don't ever talk to me again.
- 27:37Speaker 1: I like you. I know that your birthday was win Tuesday.
- 27:41Speaker 1: I got excuse me, you're done, You're fine. I'm not
- 27:45Speaker 1: at JP was very kind to wish me a happy
- 27:47Speaker 1: birthday Tuesday. Was kind of pay him with calling him dumb, insulting,
- 27:52Speaker 1: consulting him. So you know, it happens. Maybe you should
- 27:55Speaker 1: wish me not you know what. That's okay. So the
- 27:58Speaker 1: next day, if your point at forties, X still have
- 28:00Speaker 1: the Yeah, no, you still got there. I mean, you
- 28:05Speaker 1: know it's interesting because you know Game day broadcast booth,
- 28:08Speaker 1: you know we're there, you know, hands on our heart,
- 28:09Speaker 1: stand up for the national anthem, and you just got that.
- 28:13Speaker 1: You got it, you know, because that was you know,
- 28:15Speaker 1: when you had when that moment happened, you knew what
- 28:18Speaker 1: was next. And what was next was was intensity and
- 28:21Speaker 1: competition and a and a burning desire to succeed in
- 28:25Speaker 1: to win three hours you can't find anywhere else. But
- 28:29Speaker 1: you still feel that that little twitch, You still got it.
- 28:32Speaker 1: I mean even even today, like God, can I just
- 28:36Speaker 1: to be able to go back and do that one
- 28:37Speaker 1: more time? Like watching those video highlights today it's like, oh, yeah,
- 28:41Speaker 1: it's awesome stuff. How many surgeries is this for you?
- 28:43Speaker 1: By the way, I mean I don't know. Bakers doesn't
- 28:47Speaker 1: uh Baker, that's about that. FARS procedures go. Yeah, shoulders
- 28:53Speaker 1: are yeah, doing good? Fix me up again, Kaplan's joey.
- 28:57Speaker 1: There you go, fix the left shoulder. That one's money now.
- 29:00Speaker 1: That my right shoulder will be money in six months.
- 29:02Speaker 1: So you should start bench pressing every day. I may
- 29:05Speaker 1: never bench press again, probably, why, Well, that's my point. Yes,
- 29:10Speaker 1: I go on the road with you as you're laying
- 29:12Speaker 1: doing work for those days are long gone now. So
- 29:17Speaker 1: Monday was reporting day the puzz Lesnie press conference. Tuesday
- 29:20Speaker 1: you tell us who wasn't here? Because I asked that question,
- 29:22Speaker 1: you didn't answer. No, Oh, Doug Maron didn't want to
- 29:25Speaker 1: go there talk about attendance. That was gonna be my
- 29:28Speaker 1: next thing that the jag spoke with the media. A
- 29:30Speaker 1: couple of Jaguars spoke with the media on Tuesday, including
- 29:34Speaker 1: Doug Brone, who wants to set the tone for this
- 29:37Speaker 1: offseason very early. Let's be where a butt is in
- 29:41Speaker 1: other words, meaning that, you know, let's be in this
- 29:44Speaker 1: moment right now. I think that when you you know,
- 29:48Speaker 1: you're you're grabbing towards this future and you're looking beyond,
- 29:50Speaker 1: you're gonna miss all the small things that you need
- 29:52Speaker 1: to build a foundation. Uh, this isn't any different than
- 29:55Speaker 1: what I talked about last year. So basically, you know,
- 30:00Speaker 1: I'm talking to the players about, you know, this is
- 30:01Speaker 1: what we need to do. This is our phase one goal.
- 30:04Speaker 1: This is what we need to get done. And then
- 30:05Speaker 1: when we get to phase two's, phase two, phase three,
- 30:07Speaker 1: phase three, you know, and and build those types of goals.
- 30:10Speaker 1: The the idea there is that we're not we're looking
- 30:13Speaker 1: towards the training camp yet or what's gonna happen on
- 30:16Speaker 1: the field and O t A s. Let's just worry
- 30:17Speaker 1: about strength and conditioning. This is what we're doing right
- 30:19Speaker 1: now and build the foundation again. And that's what that's
- 30:23Speaker 1: what you said last year as well. But he's gonna
- 30:25Speaker 1: keep the same messages. Here's the reality that the foundation
- 30:28Speaker 1: has already started, you know. I mean the players didn't
- 30:31Speaker 1: go and sit on their rear ends. Some did okay
- 30:34Speaker 1: since the Patriots game and do nothing. I mean a
- 30:37Speaker 1: lot of these guys have been actively working out. In fact,
- 30:41Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Tony, but any months of
- 30:45Speaker 1: February in March was usually when you got probably your
- 30:49Speaker 1: strongest or got really your your base strength level. It
- 30:53Speaker 1: was different. It was different for us though, Jeff. You
- 30:55Speaker 1: remember we started in March. We did, and so I did.
- 30:59Speaker 1: We would tell because I would work out up until
- 31:03Speaker 1: the first week of February because it was the Pro Bowl,
- 31:07Speaker 1: or if I surgy, you'd rehab at that time. But
- 31:10Speaker 1: so then those like four weeks that you had five
- 31:13Speaker 1: weeks to get off technically, I actually played basketball to
- 31:17Speaker 1: keep some cardio and some very light lifting. Because I
- 31:22Speaker 1: did a little different. I did more, more heavier lifting
- 31:24Speaker 1: and not a lot of cardio. I mean, when I
- 31:26Speaker 1: say a cardio not running experience, but I love basketball.
- 31:28Speaker 1: To go play basketball here. Here's the difference. He was
- 31:30Speaker 1: three pounds naturally, Okay, I was like naturally, So I
- 31:35Speaker 1: had to hit the weight room, you know, and get
- 31:37Speaker 1: after it. But you don't want to ever get out
- 31:39Speaker 1: of shape. I think it's the point. And so whether
- 31:42Speaker 1: you and you know, everyone's body is different. Some guys
- 31:45Speaker 1: take some time off from the heavyweights, and that's fine.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Other guys don't. But you the one thing you don't
- 31:50Speaker 1: want to do is get out of shape, especially the
- 31:52Speaker 1: older you get. You can't because it's so hard to
- 31:55Speaker 1: get back into shape. I heard from Blake Portles on
- 31:58Speaker 1: Tuesday as well. Jaguar's quarterback just signed a new contract
- 32:01Speaker 1: here for three more years. It's a new level here
- 32:04Speaker 1: in Jacksonville for number five. Bar has been raised. You know,
- 32:07Speaker 1: the expectations are different um coming in years past. You know,
- 32:11Speaker 1: even coming into last year after the previous year when
- 32:13Speaker 1: three games or whatever we want, you know, with with
- 32:16Speaker 1: Coughlin and coach Maron coming in, you know, the expectations
- 32:19Speaker 1: that changed. But it was kind of like, you know,
- 32:21Speaker 1: we still just won three games last year, Like how
- 32:22Speaker 1: good can we possibly be? And to be able to
- 32:24Speaker 1: go through the season that we went through last year, Um,
- 32:26Speaker 1: the camp that we went through, and you don't kind
- 32:28Speaker 1: of see everything that happened. I think, Um, I think
- 32:31Speaker 1: guys are coming back this year with a totally different
- 32:32Speaker 1: attitude and kind of a uh you know, a hunger
- 32:36Speaker 1: to to to rece the final game Agoing portals your quarterback?
- 32:40Speaker 1: Uh what Jaguars dot Com Max right the video you
- 32:43Speaker 1: just popped out there? Can you get the one of Chris?
- 32:45Speaker 1: I believe it's Chris Reid. He just showed it's fourth.
- 32:48Speaker 1: It's four thirty five on the on the bar. I
- 32:50Speaker 1: got like four thirty five pounds on the squat rack, okay,
- 32:54Speaker 1: and he's wrapping it out like you know, like JP,
- 32:58Speaker 1: you had your hens, you eat donuts like you got
- 33:01Speaker 1: a backpack on your back. I mean he's quick. He's
- 33:03Speaker 1: doing it as fast as you eat think on the morning.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Some pretty strong dudes there. Now, How what would happened
- 33:09Speaker 1: to you right now, Jeff? If you put four or
- 33:11Speaker 1: thirty five on your shoulders and back and tried to
- 33:13Speaker 1: squat dial nine one and wait, get ready. I think
- 33:20Speaker 1: I could get it on my back. But as soon
- 33:22Speaker 1: as I unlocked my knees and they just keep right
- 33:26Speaker 1: to the ground. I hope you got safety bars to
- 33:28Speaker 1: catch it for you. I hope, so break me in half.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Jaguars defense last year had a banner season and number
- 33:34Speaker 1: of players all Pro number of players going to the
- 33:36Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Calais Campbell was one of those. And you
- 33:40Speaker 1: got to start from the bottom again. I mean, uh,
- 33:43Speaker 1: you know, in the NFL, it's a lot of turnover
- 33:45Speaker 1: every year, you know, uh, and this year, obviously we
- 33:48Speaker 1: have some turnover, but for the most part, you know,
- 33:50Speaker 1: we're bringing a lot of people back, and you know,
- 33:53Speaker 1: the culch of staff standing same is crucial, you know,
- 33:56Speaker 1: because now we have some continuity and that's always good
- 33:59Speaker 1: to have, you know, going to a new year, but
- 34:02Speaker 1: we still have to start back from ground zero and
- 34:04Speaker 1: kind of you know, develop it again. You know, built
- 34:06Speaker 1: that chemistry. You have to start back at ground zero
- 34:08Speaker 1: and didn't build you know, hopefully we can get further
- 34:11Speaker 1: along by the time the season starts than we were
- 34:13Speaker 1: last year, but you definitely have to start back to zero.
- 34:17Speaker 1: We group and then kind of just take you one
- 34:19Speaker 1: day at a time. But hopefully, you know, with our
- 34:21Speaker 1: leadership and uh, a lot of guys returning, you know,
- 34:24Speaker 1: no one assistant being familiar with everything. You know, hopefully
- 34:26Speaker 1: it goes a little faster and we'll be further long.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Class has a little perspective of this because he's was
- 34:31Speaker 1: on some good teams in in Arizona and on some
- 34:34Speaker 1: teams that didn't really live up to expectations in Arizona
- 34:37Speaker 1: after a good season, So you've got to kind of
- 34:40Speaker 1: reset things. You still have a lot of the same personnel,
- 34:43Speaker 1: most of the same personnel coaching staff here, as he said,
- 34:45Speaker 1: so it should be a little easier maybe to set
- 34:48Speaker 1: that right. Well, I think the biggest thing is you
- 34:50Speaker 1: don't want to have happened what happened to the Giants
- 34:52Speaker 1: this past year, right, I mean, like two years ago
- 34:55Speaker 1: they these five free agent signings, eleven and five really
- 35:00Speaker 1: good football team, and then this year they came out
- 35:02Speaker 1: and second worst, crapt in the bed, you know, and
- 35:05Speaker 1: and coach got fired. GM got fired and you know,
- 35:08Speaker 1: new GM, new coach. I mean, so you gotta put
- 35:12Speaker 1: in the work. You just you never assume that you're
- 35:14Speaker 1: gonna pick up where you left off. But at the
- 35:16Speaker 1: same token, you know, like Tony and I go back
- 35:19Speaker 1: to and then ninety particularly because when we we had
- 35:24Speaker 1: success in ninety six. When we came back, you know,
- 35:27Speaker 1: in the off season to begin the ninety seven season,
- 35:30Speaker 1: we had a confidence about us, you know, So there's
- 35:32Speaker 1: nothing wrong with having that confidence carry over from the
- 35:35Speaker 1: previous year success and then you just build upon some
- 35:40Speaker 1: of the things that you learned or acquired or or
- 35:43Speaker 1: did in the previous year. So well, I get the point,
- 35:46Speaker 1: you're rebuilding from from the bottom again, but at the
- 35:49Speaker 1: same token, you're really not starting at the bottom. Got
- 35:52Speaker 1: a swagger about you, but here here, I think this
- 35:55Speaker 1: is what Clays is saying what every coach wants because
- 35:58Speaker 1: they feared the opposite. Confidence is fine. You want guys
- 36:02Speaker 1: to believe, but you never want anyone to relax and
- 36:05Speaker 1: get comfortable. And the danger is is especial with the
- 36:08Speaker 1: young players. You have all the success and you say
- 36:11Speaker 1: we just did it, so man that you're not gonna work.
- 36:15Speaker 1: But you know it's not the same. You know, when
- 36:18Speaker 1: you're uncomfortable, um, and there's pressure on you and there's urgency,
- 36:24Speaker 1: you work harder human nature, I mean. And now that
- 36:27Speaker 1: can be done by external pressure as a coach, or
- 36:30Speaker 1: circumstances or threat of being cut or in a career
- 36:34Speaker 1: whatever there isn't is, And then there's the intern Then
- 36:37Speaker 1: there's the internally motivated guys that that is created all
- 36:41Speaker 1: by themselves, that urgency and that discomfort. They're thriving it.
- 36:45Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Um, you know guys like that.
- 36:50Speaker 1: I mean Clay's Campbell to play as long as he has,
- 36:52Speaker 1: he has that in him, and that Paulpa's Lesnie. I mean,
- 36:55Speaker 1: those are the type you know, and I'm sure there's
- 36:57Speaker 1: more guys on this team just not knowing them that way.
- 37:00Speaker 1: That's what you want. And so as a coach, what
- 37:02Speaker 1: you fear, and Clays has been around so he sees it.
- 37:04Speaker 1: I think what he's talking about confidence is great and
- 37:08Speaker 1: just right. It's not the same where you had no confidence.
- 37:11Speaker 1: But here's the thing. If you know, players are always
- 37:13Speaker 1: confident even when they're not very good. And so the
- 37:16Speaker 1: confidence is something you want. But don't relax, don't say,
- 37:20Speaker 1: don't take, don't exhale, exhale and go okay. And now
- 37:24Speaker 1: you just go to work and you kind of go
- 37:26Speaker 1: through the motions a little bit. Um, have that urgency,
- 37:29Speaker 1: have find a way to be comfortable and uncomfortable situation,
- 37:36Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to challenge yourself, you know.
- 37:38Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing is that, okay,
- 37:40Speaker 1: you you you're building as an athlete, and so you know,
- 37:44Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting in a player's career when you're younger,
- 37:47Speaker 1: you're you're building because now you're starting to get exposure
- 37:50Speaker 1: different things, and you're becoming smarter, and then you're getting
- 37:54Speaker 1: better physically, and then you're starting to reach a peak.
- 37:56Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, after a certain point,
- 37:58Speaker 1: your your peak has been reached, your iCal skills starts
- 38:00Speaker 1: to decline a little bit, but your mental skills improves.
- 38:03Speaker 1: So each player has to find a way to challenge
- 38:06Speaker 1: himself to get better. Everyone's different, you know. I mean
- 38:09Speaker 1: I look back, you know, success early and you know
- 38:13Speaker 1: and getting accolades and doing whatever the award postseason awards
- 38:18Speaker 1: were for me, that was like, Okay, you better work
- 38:22Speaker 1: harder because they're coming for you. And now you've set
- 38:25Speaker 1: a standard, you better live up to it. And it's
- 38:27Speaker 1: not it's hard to maintain. It's easier to get there.
- 38:33Speaker 1: The maintenance is the hard part. And so individually that's
- 38:38Speaker 1: what players have to have, that mentality. But then Jeff's right,
- 38:40Speaker 1: as a team that needs to be your culture. And
- 38:44Speaker 1: it's interesting. You read a lot of stuff and I
- 38:46Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna do this around the league,
- 38:47Speaker 1: but the Patriots right now, a lot of people chirping
- 38:49Speaker 1: about Bill Belichick and the worst Tom Brady Gronkas know
- 38:52Speaker 1: what he's doing. And because Bill Belichick believes that, and
- 38:56Speaker 1: I think Tom is like this, at least he was
- 38:58Speaker 1: when he was our coach, believes that he needs to
- 39:01Speaker 1: create that atmosphere where everyone's uncomfortable at all times, and
- 39:05Speaker 1: he doesn't trust the players to do it, which you
- 39:07Speaker 1: know now some players can do it themselves some camp,
- 39:10Speaker 1: So he creates that culture of never satisfied, uncomfortable. Tom
- 39:14Speaker 1: actually said it in his speech today. It's a coach's
- 39:17Speaker 1: job to make guys do what they don't want to
- 39:19Speaker 1: do so they can get to where they want to go.
- 39:22Speaker 1: And so it'll be interesting, you know, Doug has that
- 39:25Speaker 1: bent and kind of leans towards that way, and what
- 39:28Speaker 1: he'll do to create discomfort. My guess is this training
- 39:31Speaker 1: camp will be just as hard, if not harder than
- 39:33Speaker 1: it was last year to create that same discomfort, and
- 39:36Speaker 1: in the best way to create discomfort, which you know
- 39:38Speaker 1: pushes a team to even you know, higher heights is competition.
- 39:43Speaker 1: You know, that's the the ultimate way. And I think
- 39:46Speaker 1: that's what really pushed the Seahawks for many years and
- 39:49Speaker 1: be very challenging for them in the years to come
- 39:51Speaker 1: because they don't have that right now. It's a fine
- 39:54Speaker 1: line and you, I mean, it's it's uh, it'll I'm
- 39:57Speaker 1: interested to see how this team because it's still a
- 39:59Speaker 1: young team. It has some veteran leadership of guys like Claias,
- 40:02Speaker 1: but still young. And it's the first taste of success
- 40:04Speaker 1: a lot of these guys have had in the NFL.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Now they had in college and we look at Jalen
- 40:08Speaker 1: Ramsey Florida State, and uh, you go down the list
- 40:11Speaker 1: of guys who had it at the college level. But
- 40:13Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, Uh, you're you're the not
- 40:19Speaker 1: just not you're not the hunter. You're the hunt right now.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien said, it it's about chasing the Jaguars. I
- 40:30Speaker 1: talked to another assistant coach in the ANFC South. He said, listen,
- 40:33Speaker 1: it's all about catching the Jaguars, which is a completely now.
- 40:37Speaker 1: As a player, you can't listen to that. As a team,
- 40:39Speaker 1: you can't listen that you have to say we are
- 40:42Speaker 1: the hunter. We're going after it. But to realize, and
- 40:46Speaker 1: I always thought he would put a electra pressure on
- 40:48Speaker 1: myself at least understand you're the hunted now too, You're
- 40:51Speaker 1: being hunted coming after You're coming after you and scheduled
- 40:54Speaker 1: a little harder. Yes, indeed, the schedule. I don't know
- 40:58Speaker 1: when they're playing who, but I just will find out
- 41:01Speaker 1: about an hour and we do a schedule against you.
- 41:03Speaker 1: If we can guess when we're a more segment of that, No,
- 41:06Speaker 1: I don't think so. We'll come back so compelling the
- 41:08Speaker 1: first time. I don't know why we were around the
- 41:10Speaker 1: National Football League. Check out Jack Kennedy, is Adie, Jacksonville

- 42:31Speaker 1: Oh really, Oh well, those are fancy times us more.
- 42:38Speaker 1: I don't want to know more. Let's go around the
- 42:42Speaker 1: I don't like to kiss and tell league Adam Schefter
- 42:47Speaker 1: yesterday says on Twitter. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady still is
- 42:51Speaker 1: not committed to playing in teen, even though people who
- 42:54Speaker 1: know him believe he will come back next season. League
- 42:57Speaker 1: sources told ESPN, what world is this? The know what
- 43:00Speaker 1: that means is? Adam Schefter hadn't tweeted for a while,
- 43:03Speaker 1: so we wanted to get a good tweet. I mean,
- 43:05Speaker 1: I mean Yeah, what Adam saying is correct. I think
- 43:09Speaker 1: what I would have what he said. What the way
- 43:12Speaker 1: I read what he's saying, and listen, this is his job.
- 43:15Speaker 1: He's an insider trying to get stories out there and
- 43:17Speaker 1: create conversation, and he does an outstanding job at that.
- 43:21Speaker 1: I think what he's saying is there's no official word
- 43:24Speaker 1: whether he's playing or not playing. Um is where? So
- 43:27Speaker 1: really it's not a news story because there's just no
- 43:29Speaker 1: report one way or another. But I'm not sure. In
- 43:33Speaker 1: years past, I think it was just assumed he was playing.
- 43:36Speaker 1: Now he's older, I'm not sure there's Maybe it would
- 43:40Speaker 1: be interesting to find out the timeline is any different.
- 43:43Speaker 1: I'm not sure. We heard a bunch of Tom Brady
- 43:45Speaker 1: and but I think the one difference I think that's
- 43:50Speaker 1: I think that makes less money this year. Yeah, that's
- 43:54Speaker 1: the story. I mean, come on, the story is and
- 43:58Speaker 1: I think Schefter reported earlier in the week or someone
- 44:02Speaker 1: did that the contract is an issue, you know, And
- 44:05Speaker 1: when we talked about this, I want to say it
- 44:07Speaker 1: was last week, right, And I said at the time
- 44:09Speaker 1: it was like, you know, if if you're Tom Brady,
- 44:13Speaker 1: okay you you you would probably be okay with making
- 44:15Speaker 1: what you were making. If if they were spending up
- 44:18Speaker 1: to the cap and the quality, they didn't do that.
- 44:21Speaker 1: They're not even spending the money that they got the
- 44:23Speaker 1: number one receiver and they're starting left town. Yeah, So
- 44:25Speaker 1: I mean, if they're doing stuff like that, and if
- 44:28Speaker 1: you're Tom Brady, you're gonna wait a minute, and probably
- 44:30Speaker 1: the number one back and do young those I've been
- 44:32Speaker 1: giving them, you know, the hometown discount, but we're not
- 44:36Speaker 1: we're not taking advantage of the hometown discount. So if
- 44:39Speaker 1: you're Tom Brady, you're going okay, And I think that
- 44:43Speaker 1: I think the story came out because I don't think
- 44:46Speaker 1: Gronk or Brady showed up to the offseason. And it's
- 44:49Speaker 1: not abnormal for Brady and I don't think it's abnormal either.
- 44:51Speaker 1: But I mean, but because of all this stuff going
- 44:54Speaker 1: on and all the whispers about you know, there's not
- 44:58Speaker 1: a lot of uh uh, you know, the piece in
- 45:01Speaker 1: paradise around the Belichick. I mean, people starting to say
- 45:04Speaker 1: things about it. You know, what they should do, honestly,
- 45:06Speaker 1: the Patriots Probert Craft should basically say that we're gonna
- 45:08Speaker 1: try to assemble the best team that we can, Okay,
- 45:11Speaker 1: and then after we're done, whatever we have left in
- 45:15Speaker 1: salary cap for him, we're gonna pay all of it
- 45:17Speaker 1: to Tom Brady. That's what they should do, seriously, pay
- 45:21Speaker 1: him every penny that is left in their salary cap.
- 45:25Speaker 1: He is the greatest of all time and he has
- 45:28Speaker 1: been underpaid period. He's the goat UH. Texans defensive lineman J. J.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Watt was named of the annual is to the World's
- 45:35Speaker 1: one hundred most Influential People by Time magazine for leading
- 45:40Speaker 1: that massive effort for hurricane recovery in Houston. About that,
- 45:44Speaker 1: he's he did an amazing job. What was like thirty
- 45:47Speaker 1: seven dollars that he raised? Uh did a great job
- 45:53Speaker 1: and UH and I hope that they're And obviously there's
- 45:57Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of good that comes out of
- 45:59Speaker 1: that thirty seven and a half million dollars or whatever
- 46:00Speaker 1: that was the number. But I'm also looking forward to
- 46:03Speaker 1: seeing and maybe we won't, but I hope we get
- 46:06Speaker 1: to see the J. J. Watt of old back on
- 46:08Speaker 1: the field the number of years, Like when we play him,
- 46:12Speaker 1: you want to see that, well, I mean, I want
- 46:13Speaker 1: to see the Jaguars play well against him, but I
- 46:14Speaker 1: would like to see him back healthy again healthy, But
- 46:18Speaker 1: I hope we beat the you know what out of him.
- 46:21Speaker 1: Remember early last year Week one, he was coming off
- 46:23Speaker 1: the back stuff, right, It was not the same j
- 46:28Speaker 1: J Watt even then was the same you know week
- 46:30Speaker 1: one last year. But I mean, I just look, I
- 46:33Speaker 1: gotta need to go with It's kind of like the deal,
- 46:35Speaker 1: you know. I don't think we'll ever see the JJ Watt.
- 46:37Speaker 1: We saw it years ago. You always want to beat
- 46:40Speaker 1: teams when they're at their best, and you want to
- 46:42Speaker 1: beat Houston when is that his best? I know, to
- 46:46Speaker 1: beat him, I know that's coach peak. We want to
- 46:47Speaker 1: beat him they're at the best, you know. I just
- 46:50Speaker 1: want to know what I want. I want to have
- 46:51Speaker 1: the most victories that wins this out and we go
- 46:54Speaker 1: to the playoffs with home field. That's what I want.
- 46:57Speaker 1: I don't care if they all get hurt. And I'm
- 46:58Speaker 1: not gonna argue with the on that you think O'Brien
- 47:00Speaker 1: wants the whole Jaguars defense out there. If they say that,
- 47:03Speaker 1: it's coacheek, I don't think so. Um. Let's see Dwight
- 47:08Speaker 1: Freeney after sixteen NFL seasons, signing a one day contract
- 47:12Speaker 1: with the Colts, He's going in. I mean he may
- 47:17Speaker 1: not get in right away. I think eventually his sack numbers,
- 47:21Speaker 1: I mean him and where is he where is the
- 47:25Speaker 1: career sacks? I think like seventeen he was dominant somewhere
- 47:29Speaker 1: in that range five and a half sacks and that's
- 47:31Speaker 1: seventeenth seventeen. Yeah, correct, Eleven of those guys are in
- 47:35Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Tremendous heaven, that's right, tremendous number.
- 47:39Speaker 1: Great player, great get off, the the greatest get off
- 47:42Speaker 1: I've ever seen in the NFL. Who Derrick Thomas had
- 47:46Speaker 1: a better get off, he didn't have the power to
- 47:48Speaker 1: match it with him. LT. I would say I would
- 47:51Speaker 1: take Lts get off and explosion Blas Scrimmage over Dwight Tree.
- 47:55Speaker 1: To your point, it was outstanding. But I'm saying Javon
- 47:59Speaker 1: Curse his first couple of steps. Now he didn't. He
- 48:01Speaker 1: couldn't finish it like Dwite Curry. But if you talked
- 48:04Speaker 1: about I would argue for the first three steps of
- 48:07Speaker 1: the rush, John randall Off the last was as good
- 48:11Speaker 1: as anybody. How he long was good to know. I mean,
- 48:12Speaker 1: so my Mark Gastino go back when he had like
- 48:16Speaker 1: twenty sacks that one year. I mean, he was a
- 48:19Speaker 1: shot out of a gun. I mean, but Dwight was amazing.
- 48:24Speaker 1: He had that and uh, Dwight Freedy was only probably
- 48:28Speaker 1: to sixty five, but he had the lower body of
- 48:30Speaker 1: a three fifteen pound man. He was so powerful and
- 48:33Speaker 1: so he had the He had one of the best
- 48:34Speaker 1: spin moves ever, set up off his bowl outstanding pass
- 48:38Speaker 1: rusher into just point for a man his size to
- 48:41Speaker 1: get off allowed him to get up on offensive tackles
- 48:44Speaker 1: like few have before him. He was still rushing the
- 48:48Speaker 1: past for last year and then he got Jack's are
- 48:52Speaker 1: playing in London Week eight, that's official against the Philadelphia Eagles,
- 48:55Speaker 1: the world champions. The rest of the schedule coming out
- 48:57Speaker 1: in an hour on NFL Network, Jaguars dot Com as
- 49:02Speaker 1: well and the media draft lunching tomorrow. I'll go. I'll
- 49:04Speaker 1: be there. What time If you can't make it, Tony,
- 49:08Speaker 1: It's on Jaguars dot Com, I'll watch it. I will
- 49:10Speaker 1: not be feenis. Yeah, to lunch it. You want me
- 49:13Speaker 1: to go over exactly what Tom and Dave will say
- 49:15Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, I can go over the whole. We
- 49:18Speaker 1: have to wrap it up, Joe, are we done. We're done.
- 49:21Speaker 1: Should I stop talking now, Hollywood, Joe, Tony, Jeff, j P.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Jack seriously on Jaguars Radio. Sure, I can't talk anymore.
