- 0:28Speaker 1: Jaguars news. Over the last couple of days and even
- 0:31Speaker 1: into today, around free agency, a couple of trades have
- 0:36Speaker 1: been made. They've signed, a few guys were not signed.
- 0:40Speaker 1: They've agreed to terms and pending physicals and a signature
- 0:46Speaker 1: on a piece of paper. They'll be signed down the line.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Who knows when they'll become official. Here's what's coming up

- 1:05Speaker 1: lot going on there. Tom Brady on the move, Philip
- 1:08Speaker 1: Rivers on the move, big name quarterbacks a big, big
- 1:12Speaker 1: reason why this free agency period has been so newsworthy.
- 1:16Speaker 1: We'll hear from Jeff log Aman at four forty five
- 1:19Speaker 1: to break down all the Jaguars moves and what they
- 1:21Speaker 1: mean moving forward, and Jaguars dot Com senior writer John
- 1:25Speaker 1: Osier joins us now over the phone lines, John, how
- 1:29Speaker 1: are you? And it's um, it's kind of sad to
- 1:31Speaker 1: be self isolated from you, but good afternoon. Well people
- 1:35Speaker 1: who have been wanting me to social distance for a
- 1:37Speaker 1: long time. So uh, there's a lot of happy people
- 1:41Speaker 1: out there amidst this obvious doing a serious note. Obviously
- 1:44Speaker 1: a very difficult time, no doubt, um, but good to
- 1:48Speaker 1: talk to you. It's been a couple of days and
- 1:50Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of work going on behind
- 1:51Speaker 1: the scenes to get this show on the air, get
- 1:53Speaker 1: a lot of the Jaguars news out there on Jaguars
- 1:56Speaker 1: dot Com, including all of your riding everything that's going on. Um,
- 2:00Speaker 1: I mean, let's start, I guess with a quarterback. Then
- 2:02Speaker 1: when Nick Foles was traded to the Bears for the
- 2:05Speaker 1: compensatory fourth round pick, he was the league's most expensive
- 2:09Speaker 1: free agent last year, and a year later, now Johnny's
- 2:12Speaker 1: gone well, and it just shows you with the quarterback position,
- 2:17Speaker 1: JP teams and the Jaguars did this and a lot
- 2:20Speaker 1: of teams do it. You invest a lot in the
- 2:24Speaker 1: front end, and in some cases it's a high risk investment.
- 2:28Speaker 1: And you know, they went for it last year believing
- 2:31Speaker 1: that they needed that piece to get them back to
- 2:35Speaker 1: where they wanted to be, and uh, it just never worked.
- 2:38Speaker 1: It never worked out, And maybe it could have worked
- 2:42Speaker 1: out had they remained in that direction for one more year,
- 2:48Speaker 1: but the circumstances, it just felt right to try to
- 2:51Speaker 1: get equity for him. And I think it's the prizing
- 2:54Speaker 1: people when they were able to get a fourth round pick.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I think got credit to Dave Caldwell for getting that
- 2:58Speaker 1: fourth round pick. A month and a half ago I
- 3:01Speaker 1: was writing, a lot of people were talking about would
- 3:04Speaker 1: they need to give up something, uh to get rid
- 3:07Speaker 1: of them. That never really made sense once you examined it,
- 3:10Speaker 1: because they were only going to save three million on
- 3:12Speaker 1: the cap doing that, so it kind of became obvious
- 3:15Speaker 1: that they were gonna want to try to get something
- 3:17Speaker 1: for him and not give them away. And but a
- 3:20Speaker 1: fourth round pick, I think that it shows you that
- 3:24Speaker 1: there are still people in the league who believe, rightly
- 3:27Speaker 1: or wrongly, that fowls can play and contribute. And it
- 3:31Speaker 1: it felt like a real win for the Jaguars as
- 3:34Speaker 1: a lot of the trades have so far still as
- 3:37Speaker 1: you said, about eighteen million dollars of dead money on
- 3:39Speaker 1: the salary cap, but a three million dollars savings of
- 3:42Speaker 1: what they would have paid for the quarterback position. So
- 3:46Speaker 1: after this year, he's off the Jaguars books, and that's
- 3:49Speaker 1: the best news after the last few years of quarterback
- 3:52Speaker 1: situation around here, after the Blake Bartal situation and shipping
- 3:56Speaker 1: him off and having to eat a lot of that
- 3:57Speaker 1: salary and now the Nick Foles, things like, we're getting
- 4:01Speaker 1: ever closer to just moving on, and that moving on
- 4:04Speaker 1: right now as it stands as Gardner Minshew as the
- 4:06Speaker 1: starting quarterback well, and I think the big thing obviously
- 4:10Speaker 1: two things Minshe being the starting quarterback. Secondly, and this
- 4:15Speaker 1: sort of got lost as people started figuring out the
- 4:18Speaker 1: Cat that captain be complex and on Twitter you have
- 4:21Speaker 1: so many storylines you can cover. What you said about
- 4:24Speaker 1: the goals being off the books for next year's Cat
- 4:26Speaker 1: is critical. He was gonna be had they released them
- 4:31Speaker 1: next year. It might have been like one five somewhere
- 4:36Speaker 1: in that range. But a huge hit. And the salary
- 4:38Speaker 1: cap well, that's now gone, so they're free of that
- 4:41Speaker 1: twenty million. Probably not going to be something the average
- 4:45Speaker 1: fan thinks about too much this year, this time next year. Boy,
- 4:50Speaker 1: that one five is gonna feel good for people making
- 4:52Speaker 1: the decisions around here. Um, you know, it feels like
- 4:57Speaker 1: and I don't know what's gonna happen in the draft.
- 4:59Speaker 1: You know, you have to look at the possibility of
- 5:02Speaker 1: maybe a quarterback in the top ten, but I would
- 5:05Speaker 1: put that at relatively low possibility. It feels like Minshew
- 5:09Speaker 1: is going to get the opportunity to show that the
- 5:12Speaker 1: signs that he showed being a franchise guy, he's gonna
- 5:16Speaker 1: get at least one year, it looks like, to show
- 5:19Speaker 1: that those signs are real. And uh, you know, I'm
- 5:22Speaker 1: sure we'll talk to Loguman later in the show about
- 5:24Speaker 1: or you will ye are those real? Is he the guy?
- 5:28Speaker 1: It sure feels like he's gonna get the shot to
- 5:30Speaker 1: show it. And uh, I feel like you sort of
- 5:32Speaker 1: earned that last year and we'll see how it goes. Yeah,
- 5:36Speaker 1: you don't get the feeling, John, that they're gonna spend
- 5:38Speaker 1: a bunch of money on like Jamis Winston or something
- 5:41Speaker 1: to come in here. This age I'd be stocked with that.
- 5:44Speaker 1: You know, the draft is a completely different animal than
- 5:47Speaker 1: free agency. With this, they've invested huge money at the
- 5:51Speaker 1: quarterback position and hadn't had it worked out two years
- 5:54Speaker 1: in a row. Um to me at Jamis Winston, Uh,
- 5:59Speaker 1: and get the names out there right now. I feel
- 6:02Speaker 1: very similar to Folds and Borders in terms of you're
- 6:06Speaker 1: sort of holding your breath and taking a chance and
- 6:09Speaker 1: seeing how it goes. If there was something out there
- 6:12Speaker 1: there was a dead solid lock, maybe, but you know,
- 6:17Speaker 1: they've had their experience with sort of flipping a coin
- 6:19Speaker 1: the last two offseasons. I just can't rule out draft
- 6:23Speaker 1: because they're sitting at number nine and they've got a
- 6:25Speaker 1: lot of draft equity. I don't know they have enough
- 6:28Speaker 1: to go up and get the guys people would want.
- 6:31Speaker 1: So that that's why I feel like it probably gets
- 6:33Speaker 1: put on hold for a year the quarterback. But when
- 6:36Speaker 1: it's the quarterback position and you and you're in the
- 6:39Speaker 1: top ten, I think you have to at least study
- 6:43Speaker 1: do we go get a guy. I'm not sure on
- 6:45Speaker 1: that one yet. J. P. Shatrick with the Jaguars dot
- 6:48Speaker 1: Com senior writer John os Or Jaguars Happy Hour continues,
- 6:52Speaker 1: and we move along now to some other deals that
- 6:55Speaker 1: Jaguars had. I guess we'll not finalized, but agreed to
- 6:59Speaker 1: terms with Klais Campbell traded to the Ravens for round pick.
- 7:03Speaker 1: And then the one that is finalized is a j
- 7:05Speaker 1: Boyer traded to the Broncos for fourth round pick. Let's
- 7:10Speaker 1: start with the Klis deal, John. I mean, he's the
- 7:11Speaker 1: Walter Peyton Man of the Year. For goodness sakes, He's
- 7:14Speaker 1: an All Pro player, three time Pro bowler, and I
- 7:17Speaker 1: put out a poll on Twitter because that's what when
- 7:21Speaker 1: you want real results, that's what you do, John, and
- 7:25Speaker 1: that's what they are. I mean, there's there's no lying
- 7:27Speaker 1: on that. Like sevent or more of the votes had
- 7:32Speaker 1: him as the best free agent in Jaguars history, not
- 7:34Speaker 1: including Jimmy Smith. I had three other guys on there,
- 7:37Speaker 1: but he was by far and clear the favorite. I
- 7:39Speaker 1: think it's just because he's the most recent and he's
- 7:43Speaker 1: fantastic of course for three years, um, but what he
- 7:48Speaker 1: did to this organization the last three years, I don't
- 7:50Speaker 1: know if you can find a better free agent guy
- 7:53Speaker 1: to have around here and then to part ways with
- 7:56Speaker 1: him like they did, it's not ideal, but it's the
- 7:59Speaker 1: business part of this send the thing. Yeah, and you know,
- 8:02Speaker 1: I think to be fair, I think you gotta throw
- 8:04Speaker 1: Keenan McCardell on that list. I mean yeah, I think
- 8:09Speaker 1: Keenan is going to be on the wall at some
- 8:10Speaker 1: point and was critical. I think he's one of the
- 8:13Speaker 1: top five or six players in Jaguars history. So I'll
- 8:15Speaker 1: go to the whole list here in a second job,
- 8:17Speaker 1: go ahead, Yeah, I mean anyway, Um, regarding Klais, couldn't
- 8:23Speaker 1: have given you more. I don't think you can have
- 8:25Speaker 1: a better free agent signing in terms of immediate impact.
- 8:28Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's the shame that the NFL
- 8:33Speaker 1: right now is set up to where it's hard for
- 8:36Speaker 1: guys who are beloved finish their careers in places. But
- 8:40Speaker 1: the other side of that is, if it was set
- 8:42Speaker 1: up that way, he probably would have finished his career
- 8:45Speaker 1: in Arizona because he was beloved there too. So um,
- 8:48Speaker 1: you know, nobody around the jag Wars wanted to see
- 8:51Speaker 1: Klais go. But here's the bottom line. Sixteen sacks in seventeen,
- 8:57Speaker 1: ten sacts in eighteen and six stacks last year. You
- 9:01Speaker 1: know he's not the same player that he was in
- 9:03Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen. He's a good, good, good player, but
- 9:07Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars and that kind of cats. If you
- 9:11Speaker 1: could get a fifth round draft choice for him, it's
- 9:14Speaker 1: still a good trade. It hurts. I love covering Plais,
- 9:17Speaker 1: I think everybody did of being around philis, But in
- 9:21Speaker 1: terms of what you're trying to do right now and
- 9:23Speaker 1: setting up this franchise for the future, you know, I
- 9:26Speaker 1: just don't know how you could do any differently when
- 9:30Speaker 1: you had a fifth round take available for it, and
- 9:33Speaker 1: when you could get that money off the books. I mean,
- 9:36Speaker 1: it's uh, rebuild, repool, reload, whatever. But right now you've
- 9:40Speaker 1: got to be smart with how your structure in this thing,
- 9:43Speaker 1: and I just don't know that there was another way
- 9:45Speaker 1: to go on him. The results of that scientific poll
- 9:49Speaker 1: that I put out the other day, John Um there
- 9:51Speaker 1: were seven responses. Calais Campbell had seventy of the vote,
- 9:56Speaker 1: Keenan hadent, paulp was Lesnie twelve for sentain Leon Searcy
- 10:01Speaker 1: fo Yeah, and I think if you know, if Klaas
- 10:04Speaker 1: had had his career in the nineties and Keenan had
- 10:07Speaker 1: just had his career, uh, you know, but that's fine.
- 10:10Speaker 1: I mean everybody gets that, and it's uh, you know,
- 10:15Speaker 1: I don't wanna take anything away from Klaius. He deserves
- 10:17Speaker 1: his moment. I personally think he's a pride of the
- 10:21Speaker 1: Jaguars guy at some point down the road, even though
- 10:23Speaker 1: it's just three years that he played, only because of
- 10:27Speaker 1: what he gave and without him, two thousand and seventeen
- 10:31Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Uh. And if you can't put him in
- 10:36Speaker 1: your pride, what are you doing? So? And I feel
- 10:39Speaker 1: the same way about Keenan Frank. I think there's guys
- 10:41Speaker 1: who who deserves be up there. But you know, Calais
- 10:45Speaker 1: is a legacy player for this organization to make J. P.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Shatick was senior writer for Jaguars dot Com. John Osier
- 10:52Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour continues um from the home studio here.
- 10:56Speaker 1: John Osier on the phone line with us, and we
- 10:58Speaker 1: continue with the A. J. Boyer trade. His physical was
- 11:02Speaker 1: finished before all the lockdowns and everything, so it is
- 11:05Speaker 1: officially to the Bronc Coaster fourth round pick, and now
- 11:08Speaker 1: the entire starting secondary from that run to the playoffs
- 11:13Speaker 1: is no longer with the Jacksonville Jaguars. But it seemed
- 11:16Speaker 1: like John over the last couple of years. The overall
- 11:19Speaker 1: playoff boy A dropped a bit. That number was really high,
- 11:23Speaker 1: the dead number low. It felt like he was gonna
- 11:26Speaker 1: go no matter what. Yeah, I was sort of surprised
- 11:30Speaker 1: that they were able to get a fourth round pick
- 11:31Speaker 1: for him. I mean, and again not to you know,
- 11:35Speaker 1: you say bad things about boy but he hadn't been
- 11:38Speaker 1: the kind of player in two thousand, eighteen and nineteen
- 11:42Speaker 1: as he wasn't at seventeen. The overall defense wasn't as good,
- 11:45Speaker 1: which always hurts the cornerback when you don't have the
- 11:47Speaker 1: pass rush in front of you. Um. Again, fourth round
- 11:52Speaker 1: pick for full, fifth round pick for Clay, a fourth
- 11:54Speaker 1: round pick for boy A. Uh. Somebody asked in the
- 11:56Speaker 1: Ozone a few weeks back, how did David called, I'll
- 12:00Speaker 1: get a fourth round pick for boy I said, Witchcraft.
- 12:02Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a great move by
- 12:05Speaker 1: Caldwell to get that. I thought he was gonna be
- 12:07Speaker 1: released because I didn't know that he had any values
- 12:10Speaker 1: on the open market. Uh. But again back to you know,
- 12:14Speaker 1: the thread was Kolias and what these guys mean A
- 12:18Speaker 1: j boy A, just like Kleis, should be remembered by Jaguars.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Fans incredibly fondly, never anything wrong off the field, was
- 12:28Speaker 1: was a great guy to be around, and as with Kolis,
- 12:31Speaker 1: without him two thousand and seventeen doesn't happen. And that
- 12:34Speaker 1: was as much as things has gone wrong the last
- 12:36Speaker 1: couple of years, that was a special year. So I
- 12:38Speaker 1: hope he does well in Denver. But right now you're
- 12:42Speaker 1: looking at a situation where I think they go draft
- 12:44Speaker 1: a corner to replace boy a Um and I think
- 12:47Speaker 1: they go draft a defensive tackle to address the middle.
- 12:51Speaker 1: And I think, you know, as hard as it's gonna
- 12:54Speaker 1: be for people to hear, I think you have a
- 12:56Speaker 1: chance of being at least the same defense. It's not
- 12:59Speaker 1: that or it's the two rookies that they have, and
- 13:02Speaker 1: I think they'll go corner and defense attack in the
- 13:04Speaker 1: first round or early in the second. I think you
- 13:06Speaker 1: can be very quickly improving on defense compared to last
- 13:11Speaker 1: year because of what you've done at linebacker. And that's
- 13:14Speaker 1: probably the next topic. John Oshan with us on Jaguars
- 13:18Speaker 1: Happy Hour, and it is you've done these shows before.
- 13:20Speaker 1: John is the next topic, and the Jaguars announcing that
- 13:26Speaker 1: they have agreed to terms with Joe Schobert from the
- 13:28Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns to be the middle linebacker. He has a
- 13:32Speaker 1: Pro Bowl and under his belt back from the seen season.
- 13:36Speaker 1: That means and probably more notably, that Myles Jack is
- 13:39Speaker 1: moving to the weak side of position he has not played,
- 13:42Speaker 1: at least to my knowledge, in college or the pros.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Certainly the pros um that's huge news for this defense.
- 13:48Speaker 1: One of the guys remaining is moving to get another
- 13:50Speaker 1: linebacker position. And as Doug Moron was saying earlier today
- 13:54Speaker 1: to the Jaguars Dot Com crue Ashlan Sullivan, that, um,
- 13:57Speaker 1: you know, it gives them a little flexibility at that
- 14:00Speaker 1: back of position and Miles can move around if needed.
- 14:03Speaker 1: But it sounds like Miles is moving to the week
- 14:05Speaker 1: side John, Yeah, and by something what Doug said this morning,
- 14:08Speaker 1: you think that's his is the most natural position, which
- 14:11Speaker 1: it started to feel that way last couple of years.
- 14:13Speaker 1: But let's remember this mild. You know, we got a
- 14:17Speaker 1: lot of criticism last year, and I'm not sure all
- 14:20Speaker 1: was warranted. That's another topic. I think he would have
- 14:23Speaker 1: been playing week side a long time ago, and I've
- 14:26Speaker 1: had people question me in the ozone, well, why in
- 14:28Speaker 1: the world didn't they do this already? Well, for three years.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Helpings is over there, So I'm not sure that that
- 14:35Speaker 1: was necessarily a negligent moved by the coaching stack. You
- 14:38Speaker 1: had a guy who's playing at a high level, and
- 14:40Speaker 1: you're trying to get your best guys on the field.
- 14:42Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that he wouldn't have done it
- 14:44Speaker 1: last year, except it Kelvin surprised everybody very late in
- 14:48Speaker 1: the process. The draft had already taken place, free agency
- 14:51Speaker 1: had already taken place, so you try to go, you know,
- 14:54Speaker 1: and then he retired or least football would ever happen.
- 14:58Speaker 1: So I think this the situation where now it makes
- 15:02Speaker 1: sense to get Miles over the week side. I don't
- 15:05Speaker 1: know that you wanted to do it last year because
- 15:07Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're shaking everything up. You're not
- 15:09Speaker 1: sure what's going on, so Miles jack over the middle.
- 15:12Speaker 1: I don't know that you necessarily want to say that
- 15:14Speaker 1: it's only because of Miles, because Schobert's a good player,
- 15:18Speaker 1: good middle linebacker and natural medal linebacker. As Doug said
- 15:21Speaker 1: a couple of times when Ashlal was talking to him
- 15:23Speaker 1: and when I talked to him later, this is the
- 15:25Speaker 1: situation where you improved two positions with one signing uh,
- 15:30Speaker 1: the jag Wars clearly needed to do that with their defense.
- 15:33Speaker 1: He thinks this makes the run defense a lot better.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I would think there'll be a major acquisition in the draft,
- 15:40Speaker 1: had one more pizza that run defense. But to me,
- 15:44Speaker 1: if you look at their season last year, the inability
- 15:47Speaker 1: to stop the run once Darius went out was the
- 15:50Speaker 1: defining characteristics of the season, beyond all the offensive troubles,
- 15:53Speaker 1: beyond anything else, beyond even Jalen Ramsey leaving. They couldn't
- 15:58Speaker 1: stop the run. When you can't do that, you can't
- 16:00Speaker 1: win because it's all teams due to you is run
- 16:02Speaker 1: when they know you can't stop it. If these acquisitions
- 16:05Speaker 1: make you better against the run, it makes them more
- 16:08Speaker 1: competitive no matter what else they've lost. It was awful
- 16:12Speaker 1: last year and that stretch especially that you know, um
- 16:15Speaker 1: three quarters part of the season there when they just
- 16:17Speaker 1: couldn't They were giving up two hundred yard games every
- 16:19Speaker 1: time out. You can't compete. You can't compete because it's
- 16:22Speaker 1: all people do to you could run. You're not gonna
- 16:25Speaker 1: do anything else because it's low risk that stop. Then
- 16:28Speaker 1: you can start talking about the other position. They feel
- 16:31Speaker 1: like they're making moves toward that. All right, Um, dark
- 16:34Speaker 1: ques Denard from the Bengals cornerback, he'll compete it outside
- 16:37Speaker 1: corner and defensive lineman Rodney Gunter from the Cardinals sounds
- 16:41Speaker 1: like he's got some big end ability and three technique
- 16:45Speaker 1: they can move around. Almost the Calais Campbell type position.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Type role there for Rodney Gunter. But you know, Dennard
- 16:52Speaker 1: may not be the answer outside, but he's going to
- 16:54Speaker 1: compete to be the answer outside. And the rest, of course,
- 16:57Speaker 1: the off season remains with a draft. As you mentioned earlier,
- 17:01Speaker 1: they could be drafting a cornerback pretty high here. Yeah,
- 17:04Speaker 1: And I think both of those positions, or both of
- 17:07Speaker 1: those acquisitions feel like the same kind of thing in
- 17:09Speaker 1: different positions, Meaning it's not like offensive line where you're
- 17:13Speaker 1: gonna line up five guys and hope they all play
- 17:16Speaker 1: all the plays during the season. A defensive line and
- 17:20Speaker 1: in the secondary you need more than just your starters.
- 17:24Speaker 1: You need four or five guys in each spot because
- 17:26Speaker 1: they're on the field a lot. So you know, I
- 17:29Speaker 1: kind of think Dennard probably compete with a rookie who
- 17:33Speaker 1: gets drafted in the top forty, So will he be starting?
- 17:37Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think he'll be on the
- 17:38Speaker 1: field a lot. I certainly think that uh Gunter is
- 17:42Speaker 1: going to be on the field a lot. You've got
- 17:44Speaker 1: to have seven eight guys on the defensive lines who
- 17:47Speaker 1: you believe in, who can play, and so he clearly
- 17:50Speaker 1: is going to be a big factor. Does he start
- 17:53Speaker 1: or will? They have a defensive tackle drafted starting at
- 17:56Speaker 1: Tavin Bryan with then Ard and Abrew Jones. Even having
- 18:02Speaker 1: a a did not mean a gut your level player
- 18:06Speaker 1: next to Avery makes you feel better about that rotation
- 18:10Speaker 1: than you felt the dandel last year. So they need
- 18:13Speaker 1: guys who can line up. They need guys to allow
- 18:15Speaker 1: them not to reach in the draft. Both of these
- 18:18Speaker 1: guys put that to me. Final thought here, John, Um,
- 18:22Speaker 1: it's a scary thought about this defense. Right, that's a
- 18:24Speaker 1: lot of new faces, A lot of familiar names and
- 18:26Speaker 1: faces from the last three years or so are no
- 18:29Speaker 1: longer around. Marcel Darius his contract right out. They didn't
- 18:32Speaker 1: take the option on him. Calais traded, boy a trading.
- 18:36Speaker 1: I mean, there's only a handful of guys left that
- 18:39Speaker 1: people really know around here from two or three years ago. Um,
- 18:44Speaker 1: what what can I guess? What can we expect can
- 18:46Speaker 1: we expect a mid level high level defense next year?
- 18:51Speaker 1: You know, it's uh, it's hard to say because the
- 18:54Speaker 1: yawn thing you get to play out Unique and got way. Uh.
- 18:57Speaker 1: It feels like Josh Allen and Miles Jack the you know.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I mean, those guys need to step up. But if
- 19:05Speaker 1: you've got those two guys who are first round, elite
- 19:09Speaker 1: level talent, You've paid Schobert like that, So that feels right.
- 19:13Speaker 1: If you get Unique on the field and then you
- 19:16Speaker 1: add a rookie defensive tackle and rookie cornerback, and I
- 19:20Speaker 1: don't know it's what they'll do, but if they do that,
- 19:22Speaker 1: we all of a sudden, you've got a lot of
- 19:23Speaker 1: talent there. Uh. Josh Allen to me feels like a
- 19:27Speaker 1: guy I had my talking to this morning about leadership,
- 19:30Speaker 1: because the leadership was an issue in two thousand thirteen
- 19:33Speaker 1: TAPS fourteen when they sued so young. They're skewing young again,
- 19:37Speaker 1: so they need guys who are leaders. I've been around,
- 19:40Speaker 1: you know, the NFL for twenty five years. Josh Allen
- 19:43Speaker 1: is as much in his in his first year a
- 19:49Speaker 1: leader guy guys can look to as I've been around,
- 19:52Speaker 1: maybe Bob Standards when I covered the Colts came in
- 19:54Speaker 1: and was immediately very mature. A guy who can look
- 19:57Speaker 1: to Josh reminds me of that level of readiness for
- 20:01Speaker 1: that role. He's gonna need to play because they don't
- 20:04Speaker 1: have Coyas anymore, they don't have boy A, they need
- 20:07Speaker 1: young leaders. I think it's gonna be Josh Allen's rowing
- 20:10Speaker 1: need to play. Give him a follow at John osher

- 25:27Speaker 1: Media for getting this broadcast in. The folks obviously at

- 25:34Speaker 1: a bank field where we have the hand Ony Autos
- 25:36Speaker 1: dot Com studio, but um, they're trying to keep people
- 25:39Speaker 1: away from big groups that includes the office, so we've
- 25:42Speaker 1: been working at home all week long, all the content
- 25:45Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com with pretty much everybody scattered at
- 25:49Speaker 1: their home basis getting that done this week with free
- 25:51Speaker 1: agency coming so a lot coming through. But everybody has
- 25:55Speaker 1: done a fantastic job to get this broadcast on the
- 25:57Speaker 1: air from the house today and uh streamed online as well.
- 26:02Speaker 1: From the station to the Jaguars and at Jaguars at
- 26:05Speaker 1: Tintin XL, everybody involved, Thank you very much for that.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Coming up Mike Florio Pro Football Talk, UH at about
- 26:12Speaker 1: four or five minutes or so, we'll breakdown the league's
- 26:16Speaker 1: perspective on free agency and uh we'll ask Mike you
- 26:20Speaker 1: know what he thinks about it. And I made the
- 26:22Speaker 1: comment earlier this week on on Twitter that this might
- 26:25Speaker 1: be the most uh, at least as I remember that,
- 26:29Speaker 1: the craziest free agency build up that we can remember.
- 26:33Speaker 1: And the big reason why is all the quarterback names involved.
- 26:37Speaker 1: The Goat is involved, Tom Brady. Apparently he's getting a
- 26:40Speaker 1: physical today in New York City. Uh, Philip rivers pretty
- 26:45Speaker 1: close to the Goat without the championship rings. He's got
- 26:48Speaker 1: the yard edge and the numbers to prove that well.
- 26:51Speaker 1: He's on the move in the a f C South,
- 26:53Speaker 1: coming to Indianapolis. Those are just a couple of the
- 26:55Speaker 1: names that are a big piece of the reason why
- 26:58Speaker 1: today that the rams of cut Todd Durley, who just
- 27:01Speaker 1: a few years ago was um the biggest name. He
- 27:05Speaker 1: was a top top ten draft pick, is a running
- 27:07Speaker 1: back not that long ago. They avoided having to pay
- 27:10Speaker 1: him an additional ten and a half million this year
- 27:13Speaker 1: by cutting him. Today in the ANFC South, arguably the
- 27:18Speaker 1: best receiver in football is shipped off to the Cardinals.
- 27:21Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is gone, and then reports of friction between
- 27:26Speaker 1: him and head coach GM Football's are Bill O'Brien in Houston,
- 27:32Speaker 1: Hopkins and a fourth round pick from Houston to Arizona
- 27:36Speaker 1: for running back David Johnson, second round pick and fourth
- 27:41Speaker 1: round pick. But the big news there is the friction
- 27:44Speaker 1: between him and O'Brien and uh, a little bit of
- 27:47Speaker 1: he said, she said down there with the conversations you
- 27:51Speaker 1: saw Michael Irvin earlier this week makes some comments of
- 27:54Speaker 1: the reason why and who knows the real side of
- 27:58Speaker 1: the story here, but either way, it's not a great
- 28:00Speaker 1: look at all for the Houston Texans with all of
- 28:04Speaker 1: that happening, with the clowney thing that happened last year,
- 28:06Speaker 1: the trade of him to get out of there, and
- 28:08Speaker 1: now trading their best offensive player. You could argue Watson
- 28:13Speaker 1: is that as well, but DeAndre Hopkins is a three
- 28:16Speaker 1: consecutive time All Pro first team All Pro and the
- 28:21Speaker 1: last person to do that three straight times, to get
- 28:24Speaker 1: a first team All Pro in three straight season and
- 28:27Speaker 1: then not go back to his team next year Jim
- 28:30Speaker 1: Brown when he retired from the Cleveland Browns. Um that
- 28:35Speaker 1: is that tells you a whole lot about what's going
- 28:37Speaker 1: on in Houston right now. And the backlash and the
- 28:40Speaker 1: aftermath of that trade is something to watch if you
- 28:43Speaker 1: follow anybody involved with the Houston Texans in terms of
- 28:46Speaker 1: the media down there in Houston. Um, the day after
- 28:49Speaker 1: that trade, the day of the trade, Uh, they had
- 28:52Speaker 1: a lot to talk about in Houston. Let's say the
- 28:54Speaker 1: Colts are signing Philip Rivers one year, twenty five million
- 28:58Speaker 1: dollar deal. The were some question marks about that position
- 29:01Speaker 1: after they traded their first round pick this year for
- 29:05Speaker 1: defensive end of Forest Buckner, So there was a little
- 29:08Speaker 1: question mark they made that move, which is a great
- 29:10Speaker 1: move by the way, good player on the defensive line.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Oh well, they were gonna draft a quarterback with their
- 29:15Speaker 1: first round pick. So they ended up getting Philip Rivers
- 29:18Speaker 1: a one year, twenty five million dollar deal to come
- 29:21Speaker 1: to Indianapolis. The Titans have been relatively quiet compared to
- 29:25Speaker 1: those two teams, the Colts and the Texans. Titans, of course,
- 29:28Speaker 1: you got that four year deal for Ryan Tannehill. They
- 29:30Speaker 1: franchise tagged Derrick Henry, but Jarale Casey is no longer
- 29:34Speaker 1: in the division. The defensive tackle who has wrecked Jaguars
- 29:37Speaker 1: game plans over the years from time to time shipped
- 29:41Speaker 1: to the Denver Broncos. So the Broncos got boy A,
- 29:46Speaker 1: They've got Casey. Now they're adding to that defense. There,
- 29:49Speaker 1: Casey no longer in the a f C South. Plenty
- 29:52Speaker 1: ahead on Jaguars Happy Hour, Mike Florio Pro Pro Football
- 29:57Speaker 1: Talk is right around the corner, will breakdown some of
- 30:00Speaker 1: the big league news in free agency and get his
- 30:03Speaker 1: laws and with the Jaguars have done so far. And
- 30:05Speaker 1: then Jeff Logman at about four forty five with a
- 30:08Speaker 1: little further analysis of the new additions to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Some Daili's Place concert changes. With the coronavirus, the March

- 30:28Speaker 1: if you have them now. Also another change, the April
- 30:30Speaker 1: seventeen Cole Swindel concert moving to October second. Uh May
- 30:35Speaker 1: second nf is still scheduled as is, but you get

- 35:20Speaker 1: remember anybody else, at least publicly testing positive in the
- 35:23Speaker 1: NFL yet, Mike, how are you. I'm doing well, And yeah,
- 35:26Speaker 1: he's the first one to test positive. And we continue
- 35:29Speaker 1: to be in that weird phase of this where we
- 35:32Speaker 1: assume a lot more people have it than we know about,
- 35:35Speaker 1: and they're typically only testing people who have symptoms or
- 35:39Speaker 1: who know they have been exposed to someone who's tested positive.
- 35:42Speaker 1: So I don't know if coach Payton has any symptoms.
- 35:46Speaker 1: He says he came forward just to encourage people to
- 35:48Speaker 1: take the situation seriously, as plenty of people are. But
- 35:51Speaker 1: there's still plenty of people out there who just don't
- 35:53Speaker 1: get it, they don't understand it, they don't want to
- 35:56Speaker 1: understand it, or they understand it, and they still choose
- 36:01Speaker 1: to live their lives at the way they want to.
- 36:03Speaker 1: It's pretty clear, Mike, that there's never really been a
- 36:05Speaker 1: week or a month ahead, or a two or three
- 36:07Speaker 1: months ahead in sports like we have right now. I
- 36:10Speaker 1: don't remember anything like this in my life. Maybe nine
- 36:12Speaker 1: eleven that was a week, a week and a half
- 36:14Speaker 1: of games not playing or anything happening. World War two,
- 36:17Speaker 1: maybe you know, but that's well before our lifetimes. World
- 36:21Speaker 1: War two created some strange outcomes for the National Football League,
- 36:25Speaker 1: as you would expect. I don't know if the league
- 36:28Speaker 1: was ever shut down, but at one point the Steelers
- 36:30Speaker 1: and the Eagles were combined into one team because so
- 36:32Speaker 1: many NFL age players were off fighting the war, either
- 36:37Speaker 1: in the European theater or the Pacific theater. And I
- 36:40Speaker 1: agree with you. Look, the difference here is most of
- 36:44Speaker 1: the situations that we've lived through have been discreete immediate
- 36:51Speaker 1: moments that subside and we pick up the pieces and
- 36:57Speaker 1: we figure out a way to move forward. This is
- 36:59Speaker 1: some thing where as I've said this week several times,
- 37:02Speaker 1: we're standing at the bottom of a mountain. We're looking
- 37:05Speaker 1: straight up and we have no idea where the top
- 37:09Speaker 1: of it is, and we just start climbing and it
- 37:12Speaker 1: changes everything. It's going to wipe out. I believe the
- 37:17Speaker 1: entire offseason program for the NFL is going to create
- 37:21Speaker 1: a different reality for the draft. The training camp openings
- 37:26Speaker 1: may be delayed. Who knows how many different impacts it's
- 37:29Speaker 1: going to have because of the reality that we need
- 37:33Speaker 1: to remain in a situation where the spread is minimized
- 37:38Speaker 1: to protect the people who are the most vulnerable from
- 37:41Speaker 1: dying from You know, in every TV show or movie
- 37:45Speaker 1: or book that we've ever come across regarding a pandemic
- 37:48Speaker 1: like this or some sort of a virus that overtakes
- 37:51Speaker 1: the population, there's never one where so many people are
- 37:53Speaker 1: perfectly fine and they're walking around with it. That's what's
- 37:56Speaker 1: weird about Usually it's the exception. It's the Will Smith
- 37:59Speaker 1: and I am legend who doesn't get affected by the virus.
- 38:03Speaker 1: It's not the vast majority of people are fine, which
- 38:06Speaker 1: causes some of the vast majority to act like everything
- 38:10Speaker 1: is fine while a significant percentage of the population is
- 38:14Speaker 1: at risk of dying from it. Mike Florio Pro Football
- 38:18Speaker 1: Talk joining us that said, was the NFL right to
- 38:22Speaker 1: continue with the free agency starting on Wednesday and the
- 38:26Speaker 1: negotiation period leading up to that, or should it be
- 38:29Speaker 1: should it have been delayed as well? I personally believed
- 38:32Speaker 1: it should have been delayed now. I thought things were
- 38:34Speaker 1: going to get a lot worse this week than they
- 38:36Speaker 1: did as of Monday morning. I believe that by Wednesday,
- 38:40Speaker 1: at four pm Eastern, when the new league year began,
- 38:42Speaker 1: there was a very good chance that there was going
- 38:44Speaker 1: to be a national quarantine put in place, which would
- 38:47Speaker 1: have made it impossible for anyone to finalize transactions and
- 38:52Speaker 1: just would have slammed the brakes on everything. In hindsight,
- 38:55Speaker 1: I think it worked out for the NFL. I know
- 38:58Speaker 1: that there's some frustration out there on the part of
- 39:00Speaker 1: teams that believe some of the rules the NFL put
- 39:02Speaker 1: in place did not reflect a practical understanding of what
- 39:06Speaker 1: the needs of the teams are, and there's been some
- 39:08Speaker 1: relaxation of some of the some of the provisions that
- 39:11Speaker 1: it really didn't make a whole lot of sense, like
- 39:13Speaker 1: not announcing any deals until the physicals can be accomplished,
- 39:16Speaker 1: because getting the physicals done has been the most cumbersome
- 39:19Speaker 1: part of this, because players can't come to the facility
- 39:23Speaker 1: and the doctors can't go to the players. But yeah,
- 39:27Speaker 1: I I I thought they should have waited. But at
- 39:31Speaker 1: the same time, the business needed to get done at
- 39:34Speaker 1: some point, and it did provide several days of a
- 39:39Speaker 1: diversion and a distraction from people who are coming to
- 39:41Speaker 1: grips with the fact that they're going to be inside
- 39:43Speaker 1: for a while. Although I had a good friend asked
- 39:46Speaker 1: me the other day, not connected to the NFL world,
- 39:49Speaker 1: should they really have done this? Because it is odd
- 39:52Speaker 1: when people are trying to figure out where their money
- 39:54Speaker 1: is going to come from over the next couple of
- 39:55Speaker 1: months to read about all of these guys signing multimillion
- 39:58Speaker 1: dollar contracts. And that was one of the concerns I
- 40:01Speaker 1: had the optics. But the other concern was just more pragmatic.
- 40:04Speaker 1: When is the curtain coming down on a national quarantine
- 40:08Speaker 1: and if you've already started this process, It's going to
- 40:11Speaker 1: be very difficult to stop it. Mike Florio with us
- 40:14Speaker 1: at Pro Football Talk on Twitter now that said, since
- 40:18Speaker 1: they kept it going, the negotiation period and the free
- 40:22Speaker 1: agency opening of the league year and all that, I
- 40:25Speaker 1: don't remember a period of the last three or four
- 40:27Speaker 1: days as hectic as this. And the big reason why,
- 40:31Speaker 1: at least for me, Mike, is the quarterback names involved,
- 40:33Speaker 1: starting with the goat, Tom Brady. You throw those quarterback
- 40:36Speaker 1: names around in a free agency cycle, it doesn't get
- 40:39Speaker 1: much bigger than that. Yeah, it was going to be,
- 40:43Speaker 1: before the world turned upside down, one of the most
- 40:47Speaker 1: compelling free agency periods of all time, and it still was.
- 40:51Speaker 1: It just wasn't as compelling as it could have been
- 40:54Speaker 1: because of everything that occurred, obviously the Tom Brady factor,
- 40:59Speaker 1: the anticipate nation of who was actually going to get
- 41:02Speaker 1: in on that, And my understanding is he had a
- 41:04Speaker 1: set of terms that he communicated to the Buccaneers, the Chargers,
- 41:08Speaker 1: and possibly of the teams. At the end of the day,
- 41:10Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and the Charges are the ones who said
- 41:12Speaker 1: we're in, and he chose the Buccaneers over the Chargers.
- 41:15Speaker 1: But that was just part of this game of musical
- 41:17Speaker 1: chairs where we saw just strange developments. Philip Rivers to
- 41:22Speaker 1: the Colts, Teddy Bridgewater to the Panthers, Cam Newton available
- 41:26Speaker 1: to go wherever. The Nick Foles trade obviously something that
- 41:31Speaker 1: we thought was a possibility if someone was going to
- 41:34Speaker 1: step up and take that contract without expecting Jacksonville to
- 41:37Speaker 1: pay any of it. So, you know, the music has
- 41:39Speaker 1: slowed down. The Patriots don't have anyone they've acquired other
- 41:44Speaker 1: than the guy they have in Jared Stidham, who could
- 41:47Speaker 1: very well take over. Andy Dalton still available in trade
- 41:50Speaker 1: from the Bengals, Cam Newton still available, Jamis Winston looking
- 41:53Speaker 1: for a job. And you know, for a while, I
- 41:56Speaker 1: wasn't sure whether it would be more teams than there
- 41:59Speaker 1: were quarterbacks, and more quarterbacks than there were teams. But
- 42:01Speaker 1: it's clear right now that there are more quarterbacks floating
- 42:04Speaker 1: around than there are starting jobs in the NFL. Mike,
- 42:07Speaker 1: it happens quick. For the Jaguars just a few years ago,
- 42:10Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, they're in the a s
- 42:12Speaker 1: C Championship Game, and I think currently there are three
- 42:15Speaker 1: defensive players that started in that game in New England
- 42:18Speaker 1: that are still on the roster, including Unique and Gokway
- 42:21Speaker 1: who's tagged. We know the stories around him right now.
- 42:24Speaker 1: It happens quick in the NFL, and the rebuild is
- 42:27Speaker 1: on here in Jacksonville. Yeah, And I don't know that
- 42:29Speaker 1: I would call it a rebuild per se. I think
- 42:32Speaker 1: these are things that the team needs to do to
- 42:35Speaker 1: have the cap space necessary to go with the nucleus
- 42:39Speaker 1: of young talent that they believe in. I'm not stunned
- 42:42Speaker 1: by any of the moves that have been made, and
- 42:44Speaker 1: I don't look at it and say it's tanking. Tanking
- 42:46Speaker 1: is when you start tearing it down during the season.
- 42:48Speaker 1: This is a deliberate attempt to make the team better,
- 42:52Speaker 1: to have cap space available to operate, to choose Gardner
- 42:55Speaker 1: Minshew as the starting quarterback and give him a chance
- 42:58Speaker 1: to move forward as the guy he's the possible Tom Brady,
- 43:02Speaker 1: the sixth round pick that fell into their laps that
- 43:05Speaker 1: ended up getting thrust into action, not in his second
- 43:09Speaker 1: season like Brady, but week one of his rookie year.
- 43:12Speaker 1: And he's passed all the tests, and he's an exciting player,
- 43:16Speaker 1: and he he stimulates the fan base, and that's what
- 43:19Speaker 1: you're looking for. And yeah, you want to also win.
- 43:22Speaker 1: But I don't look at this because I've seen so
- 43:23Speaker 1: many people in the meteor like every every move that
- 43:26Speaker 1: gets made while they're tanking, while they're tanking, while they're tanking.
- 43:28Speaker 1: No they're not. And we'll see if this is a
- 43:32Speaker 1: deliberate process that ultimately results in the team being better
- 43:35Speaker 1: than it was last year. Mike, great stuff, Thank you
- 43:39Speaker 1: for the for joining us on such short notice, and
- 43:41Speaker 1: stay safe there in West Virginia. We're all right, sure,
- 43:43Speaker 1: thank you. Talking to Mike Floria Pro Football Talk. Always

- 43:55Speaker 1: Apparently the physical happening today in New York reportedly, and
- 44:01Speaker 1: a lot happened. Yeah, this has been a strange obviously
- 44:05Speaker 1: to everyone involved here. It has been a strange week,
- 44:08Speaker 1: but certainly inside the National Football League and has been
- 44:11Speaker 1: one of the most notable free agent openings that in
- 44:15Speaker 1: in recent memory, certainly if not in league history, with
- 44:18Speaker 1: all the quarterback names and everyone involved here. Back in

- 49:36Speaker 1: the phone lines and welcome in our co host for
- 49:39Speaker 1: this show, Jeff Logman, Jaguars analyst. What's up, Bud? How
- 49:42Speaker 1: are you a j P? Good to talk to you,
- 49:45Speaker 1: and Uh. In this world of self isolation, I guess
- 49:49Speaker 1: we may be doing a little bit of this. I
- 49:51Speaker 1: think this might be the lay of the land for
- 49:53Speaker 1: a little while. It seems like logs, as unfortunate as
- 49:56Speaker 1: it is, we're gonna make it work, though, Yeah, well
- 49:59Speaker 1: we'll make it work. Will make it work. But boy,
- 50:01Speaker 1: it hasn't slowed down the news out of the NFL.
- 50:04Speaker 1: And I was talking to a couple of people that
- 50:06Speaker 1: are just fans of the National Football League and they
- 50:10Speaker 1: appreciate the distraction and that with today's day and age,
- 50:14Speaker 1: I guess with all the news that comes out that's
- 50:16Speaker 1: just so depressing. I guess that they said, it's kind
- 50:20Speaker 1: of nice there's no sports going on, but at least
- 50:22Speaker 1: there's news in the National Football League where fans can
- 50:26Speaker 1: still follow their teams and UH, and still kind of
- 50:29Speaker 1: I guess have a rooting interest, so to speak, even
- 50:32Speaker 1: though it's not a game at least it's a it's
- 50:33Speaker 1: a rooting interest in their team. It is the start
- 50:36Speaker 1: of the league here. It is always hectic, but just
- 50:38Speaker 1: talking to Florio a moment ago from Pro Football Talk logs,
- 50:41Speaker 1: and it's, uh, this might be one of the most
- 50:44Speaker 1: notable openings of a league year that we remember outside
- 50:47Speaker 1: of the coronavirus and COVID nineteen and all that. Just
- 50:50Speaker 1: the names involved here, I mean, Tom Brady is involved,
- 50:52Speaker 1: Philip Rivers going to the Colts. You've got um their
- 50:56Speaker 1: trading to the wide receiver from Houston to Arizona. I mean,
- 50:59Speaker 1: that's it's a lot of moving parts for the league
- 51:02Speaker 1: right now. Well, I mean, and I'm heck DeAndre Hopkins,
- 51:05Speaker 1: who you're talking about going to the Cardinals, and then
- 51:07Speaker 1: most people criticize the Texans for what they got in return,
- 51:12Speaker 1: you know, because the Jaguars are are no strangers to
- 51:14Speaker 1: that category either. I mean Calais Campbell, a j Boyer,
- 51:18Speaker 1: both those guys traded and and a fan favorite in
- 51:21Speaker 1: Clay's Campbell. So it's been a it's been a lot
- 51:25Speaker 1: of news and Tom Brady obviously is the headline of
- 51:27Speaker 1: all of that, and it's still I don't think it's
- 51:30Speaker 1: been announced that the deal is completed yet, but it's
- 51:33Speaker 1: gonna be a lot different this year. I mean, nobody
- 51:35Speaker 1: ever expected to see Tom Brady in a different uniform,
- 51:38Speaker 1: certainly not a Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform. But then again,
- 51:42Speaker 1: nobody expected to see Joe Namath in a different uniform
- 51:45Speaker 1: or whoever you want to talk about to finish their
- 51:48Speaker 1: career elsewhere. Nick Foles will go to a different uniform.
- 51:52Speaker 1: He's gonna wear Chicago Bears uniform next year compensatory fourth
- 51:56Speaker 1: round pick. He was the league's most expensive free agent
- 51:59Speaker 1: lad year. Well, I think I think it goes well.
- 52:03Speaker 1: I mean, no doubt JP a most expensive free agent
- 52:06Speaker 1: last year, but I think it goes to show that
- 52:08Speaker 1: the Jaguars made a mistake. But at the same token,
- 52:12Speaker 1: when you make a mistake, it's worse if you just
- 52:14Speaker 1: keep admitting that you made a mistake and you don't
- 52:17Speaker 1: address it. And so I give Dave called Well a
- 52:21Speaker 1: lot of credit and Doug Moron a lot of credit
- 52:24Speaker 1: for addressing the mistake of signing Nick Foles last year.
- 52:29Speaker 1: But most importantly getting another draft pick. Who would have
- 52:34Speaker 1: thought that you could have gotten a draft pick for
- 52:37Speaker 1: Nick Foles with that expensive contract. I mean, I just
- 52:42Speaker 1: think that that's kind of crazy, especially when you're talking
- 52:46Speaker 1: about a very quarterback rich market where you couldn't have
- 52:49Speaker 1: your choice of other quarterbacks and you still garnered something
- 52:53Speaker 1: for Nick Foles when he has a lot of guaranteed
- 52:56Speaker 1: money left. I mean, kudos to Dave called Yeah, and
- 53:01Speaker 1: he's off the books after the start next year. UM
- 53:04Speaker 1: eighteen point seven five of dead money this year. That's
- 53:06Speaker 1: a three million dollar savings and salary cap this year,
- 53:09Speaker 1: and then he's off the books altogether. So great. You
- 53:13Speaker 1: can debate, and a lot of people criticize Doug Brown.
- 53:17Speaker 1: A lot of people criticized Dave called well, but look,
- 53:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this. If I ever need to
- 53:22Speaker 1: sell something, I'm calling Caldwell. I'm gonna have him sell
- 53:26Speaker 1: my house. If I'm gonna get a new car, I'm
- 53:28Speaker 1: gonna have him sell my whole car, because he's uh,
- 53:33Speaker 1: he's getting he's getting a good price. Dave, do you
- 53:36Speaker 1: have your real estate license? I'm just asking for a friend.
- 53:39Speaker 1: Jeff Lockman, this Jaguars analyst that joined us on the
- 53:42Speaker 1: phone line on Jaguars Happy Hour. So the Jaguars agree
- 53:46Speaker 1: to terms with linebacker Joe Schobert from the Cleveland Browns
- 53:49Speaker 1: and he will be the middle linebacker. Miles Jack is
- 53:52Speaker 1: moving outside. According to Doug Morone, what do you make
- 53:55Speaker 1: of that deal, he's moving to the weak sidelogs. Well,
- 53:58Speaker 1: I don't don't think anybody's surprises with the move of
- 54:01Speaker 1: Miles Jack on the week's side, because look, the last
- 54:04Speaker 1: two years shown that it took. It just wasn't working
- 54:06Speaker 1: at a high level for Miles Jack at the mic position.
- 54:10Speaker 1: And the reality is Joe Schoberg is a good football player.
- 54:15Speaker 1: He's a natural. Mike Greg Williams, who was the defensive
- 54:19Speaker 1: coordinator and then for a short period of time the
- 54:21Speaker 1: interim head coach with the Cleveland Browns, I mean that
- 54:23Speaker 1: guy knows football. And Greg Williams is not one to
- 54:27Speaker 1: banny about with a lot of compliments with football players
- 54:30Speaker 1: that he's coached, but he absolutely loves Joe Schoberg and
- 54:35Speaker 1: can never say enough good things about him. So I
- 54:38Speaker 1: think it's a it's a tremendous acquisition. Acquisition. I think
- 54:42Speaker 1: it does a couple of things which allows you to
- 54:45Speaker 1: get a good football player, good mittal linebacker, but then
- 54:48Speaker 1: also to move Miles Jack to the week's side position,
- 54:52Speaker 1: which the week's hide position. You know, we all saw
- 54:55Speaker 1: for many years Tellvin Smith played it, played it at
- 54:57Speaker 1: a pretty high level, and it's a speed position, and
- 55:00Speaker 1: and Miles Jack has beat And I think the challenge
- 55:03Speaker 1: for Miles Jack is to take his next step and
- 55:07Speaker 1: being a pro. I thought Miles Jack last year, somewhat
- 55:10Speaker 1: the year before, played not in the greatest of shape
- 55:14Speaker 1: and not at the greatest of weight. And I think
- 55:17Speaker 1: he needs to dedicate himself and it's going to be
- 55:19Speaker 1: a challenging year to do that because who knows if
- 55:22Speaker 1: you're going to have the organized team activities or team
- 55:25Speaker 1: workouts to be able to do that type of thing
- 55:29Speaker 1: in that environment. So he's got to take the challenge
- 55:32Speaker 1: upon himself and get himself in the best shape possible
- 55:35Speaker 1: to be able to accept the challenge of moving to
- 55:37Speaker 1: the week side linebacker. Let me ask you this, Lugs,
- 55:40Speaker 1: and you may not have the answer, but I'm sure
- 55:42Speaker 1: you have an opinion. If the Telvin Smith news had
- 55:45Speaker 1: come out earlier in the off season that he was
- 55:48Speaker 1: stepping away from football or whatever, the real story is
- 55:52Speaker 1: he's not around. If that happened in January right after
- 55:55Speaker 1: the season, would Miles have moved to the week side
- 55:58Speaker 1: last year? Too close? Was it too close to the
- 56:02Speaker 1: offseason program in the season. I think, I think, I think,
- 56:06Speaker 1: I think it would have been considered, you know. But
- 56:09Speaker 1: but I also think that they also wanted to see
- 56:11Speaker 1: if he could take that next step at the MIC position,
- 56:14Speaker 1: because you can't expect the guy to step in first
- 56:16Speaker 1: year replacing Paulpa's Lesnie and to be able to be
- 56:19Speaker 1: better than Paulpa's Lesnie. I mean, that's that's just unrealistic,
- 56:23Speaker 1: you know. So I think it wanted to give him
- 56:25Speaker 1: a chance at that position, regardless of, uh, the issue
- 56:29Speaker 1: with Kelvin Smith or Kelvin Smith playing or not playing,
- 56:32Speaker 1: you know, to give him an opportunity to take that
- 56:35Speaker 1: next step, and and they obviously didn't take it. So
- 56:39Speaker 1: now it's going to go to where he's really I think,
- 56:42Speaker 1: moving to his natural position. And uh, it also allows
- 56:46Speaker 1: him to not worry about trying to call the defense
- 56:49Speaker 1: even though he's gonna be capable of that. And then
- 56:51Speaker 1: also a third down look of the reality it doesn't
- 56:55Speaker 1: change on third down, so and I think also what
- 56:57Speaker 1: that does now it allows your other line actors to
- 57:00Speaker 1: develop at their pace. You know, last year Ed Williams
- 57:04Speaker 1: out there way too early, and you're talking about a
- 57:07Speaker 1: collegiate wow safety that was moved to linebacker, and you're
- 57:11Speaker 1: expecting him to come in and be a starting week
- 57:13Speaker 1: side linebacker right out of the gate. I think that
- 57:15Speaker 1: was an unrealistic expectation. Now you can allow him to
- 57:19Speaker 1: just develop on his own time frame and be of
- 57:22Speaker 1: course special teamer. And look, if if he earns playtime
- 57:25Speaker 1: on defense, then so be it. If he doesn't, then
- 57:28Speaker 1: he doesn't. Jeff lockam with us. But you said the
- 57:31Speaker 1: key from Miles moving to the weeks side, He's gotta
- 57:32Speaker 1: be able to run. He's got to have that speedback
- 57:34Speaker 1: right well, all the all the linebackers in the Jaguar system.
- 57:37Speaker 1: I mean that's when the coaches talked to the scouting
- 57:40Speaker 1: department about what they need a linebacker, they tell him
- 57:44Speaker 1: they got to have speed. And because you're talking about
- 57:46Speaker 1: linebackers that have to run with a deep over and
- 57:49Speaker 1: we're talking about keeping pace with a wide receiver. You know,
- 57:53Speaker 1: so pause Lesnie was was fast enough, but if he
- 57:58Speaker 1: was a stepper too slower, he wouldn't have been able
- 58:00Speaker 1: to play in the Jaguars defense. I mean that's the
- 58:02Speaker 1: type of speed that it's required to play in the
- 58:04Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. Find a couple of minutes your logs with you.
- 58:09Speaker 1: The other additions for the Jacksonville Jaguars da Quiz denard
- 58:13Speaker 1: coming in cornerback from the Bengals, he'll compete it outside corner.
- 58:17Speaker 1: And Rodney Gunter from the Cardinals. I can play the
- 58:19Speaker 1: big end and three technique to move them around up
- 58:22Speaker 1: front and competeing and working that depth up front. Two
- 58:24Speaker 1: other editions for the Jags your logs. Yeah, I don't
- 58:27Speaker 1: know much about Gunner. I mean, who knows about anybody
- 58:30Speaker 1: to place for the Cardinals. I mean, I hate to
- 58:32Speaker 1: say that, but that's the reality because the Cardinals haven't
- 58:35Speaker 1: been very good. And uh so I've got a when
- 58:39Speaker 1: I get a chance or when they allow people to
- 58:41Speaker 1: come into the stadium, I'm gonna have to watch some
- 58:44Speaker 1: some film on him to get a take. But denard
- 58:46Speaker 1: Is is a good football player and he's gonna be
- 58:49Speaker 1: a starter right away. And he's a physical corner that's
- 58:53Speaker 1: not a play afraid to play man. So I think
- 58:55Speaker 1: he's a nice addition. I don't know what the cost is.
- 58:58Speaker 1: I haven't seen the numbers on either one of the
- 59:00Speaker 1: two guys, but obviously in the second tier market, not
- 59:05Speaker 1: the you know, the high high price guy, so you
- 59:08Speaker 1: know they should be affordable type players. Logs, thank you
- 59:11Speaker 1: for the time today. Always gonna talk to you. We'll
