  Speaker 2: All Right, welcome into the second to last Ozone podcast
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six off season, and we're joined this
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: week not by Kay Stevens. As you can tell, this
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: is not Kay Stevens. We're joined by JP Shatters.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: This is what we call in the business of downgrade.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It's a major, major downgrade.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on your podcast. Well so the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: first time I've been on the Ozone podcast.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And there's a reason for that. It's the last. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: appreciate you doing this. It's it's fun and I.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Will get to the topic in the format as we go.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Our guest this week, JP is LeQuinn Allen.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's cool.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: We've pre taped the interview because you sort of have
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to do that during the off season. He's fantastic as always.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: He's uh as engaging a young player as I've been
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: around in a long time, really enjoying. We'll talk a
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: little about him after the interview.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, perfect. Yeah, there's a lot to say about him too,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: because he made an impact. I think he one.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: He's so fun and so the thing we do here JP,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I call it six good minutes, three cold takes, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: it's what it sounds like the minutes are good.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Our information probably is.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Cold but timeless. Got it?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, I hate a little time on my phone.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: All right, cool, Look, there's really right now. If you're
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: talking about OTA's in mini camp, there's only one story.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: It's BTJ, no doubt Brian Thomas Junior. Any show we've
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: been on, we've talked about it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: He's been outstanding.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: He's been the focus of a lot of speculation in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the offseason even during the season last year, because he
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: didn't really know what was going on early in the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: year with him, and he continued to battle through and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: they stuck with him and he contributed in certain ways
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: down the stretch when the offense was doing big things.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And then this whole off season was like, oh, they're
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: trading him, trading that was the story everywhere nashally, Oh
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he's going to be traded. Well wait a minute, Okay,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they stood by him the whole time and denied that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they were ever really trying to move him, and he
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: can be a big piece of what they do. So
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: all that said, hey, there's a big spotlight on him
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: coming into this offseason program because okay, is he really
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: going to step up and take a step forward from
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: last year. There's only one way to prove that, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that's on the field, and the only way to do
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that right now is in OTAs with the pads on,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and he's doing it. It seems like he's doing it
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: almost every day. There's a big player too down the field,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, when it's real, that opens up a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: lot of other things in this offense too.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's the key is.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Look, you're not going to hit a big play the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: wide receiver in every game, but the consistency that he's
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: getting deep, the consistency that they're showing timing. You have
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to keep in perspective. Most receives don't hit fifteen eighty
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: yard passes in a season. If they hit four or
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: five more than they did last season. I always tried
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in the off season to remember what their season's really like.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You hit three or four more forty yard plays, your
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: tip and field position, your tip and momentum, that can
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: be huge. So I just think as easy as it
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: is for fans, oh this is you know, it's just
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the off season, and I get that, but I do
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: think there's some momentum being built, and I think it's
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: cool to see his confidence going up, and there's no
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: negative to it, and he doesn't have to get a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: whole lot better to really make a huge impact.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So the confidence is a big thing because we saw
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a lack of that early last year, it seemed like,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and how it can just kind of pile on when
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: there's some issues, you know, dropping balls in breaking routes,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you just see the bad body language. Right, there's a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: lot of that that was showing early last season. But
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: when things are going well and you can build upon
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: things that are going well, you see what he can do. Yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and he kind of walks around with a different, different
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: step now.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's it's the difference, you know.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And that's not just on the field. I think that's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: in the building too. I Mean that's a real thing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms and everything. When you're when you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: know it, when you're confident in your ability to go
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: execute well, you just everything's there and he just has
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a different air about him.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: He does, and there's nothing negative about that. We'll go
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to another cornerstone player the franchise, jha As I call
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it Josh Heines Allen the media today interesting and it
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: was a little give and take back and forth. H.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Everybody outside looks at Josh Allen. He looks bigger, he
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: looks like he's built up at our body strength. He
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: says no, he says he weighs the same, looks the same.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So I guess agree to disagree. This is right and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: nothing that he certainly looks like a player who has
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: added some upper body strength. It's it's almost weird to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: talk about him looking better because he's always been one
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of the best looking defensive players in terms of this
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: guy was put on this earth to play this position. Uh.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But I guess there's not much new to say at
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: this point of his career about JH. As I call him,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I just continue to be impressed by He's going into
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: year what eight that long wow?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Or seven eight eight now wow?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: The drive continues to be there for him, and you
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: never look at him as I still do not look
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: at him as a guy.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Of oh, he's peaked. I think he's.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: He's still in his prime, and I expect him double
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: digit sacks. I expect him a big year this year.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I was gonna ask if Mark Long asked him about
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the lack of sacks again, I'm sure that was you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a locker room thing throughout that. You know, it's just
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: kind of what it was.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: As is often the case with Mark Long and.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Not the first or of the last time.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I think with that drove the nail through the board.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: That's fine, but no, And he was impactful for his
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: defense even without the say yeah, what eight sacks last year?
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Right, he had a big time.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: He was always around the quarterback, forcing early throws and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a big reason why all of those interceptions came early
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in the seasons because he's in the he's in the area,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: he's there and making the quarterback make a move or
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: something out of the ordinary. And that's how turnovers happened
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of times. Like it's not going to be
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a streat strip sack every time. It might be a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: weird slide to the right and he has let it
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: go a beat early and then it's tipped and picked.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: So he could have fourteen sacks this year and potentially
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: not have as good a year as he did last year.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You say this all the time. It makes sense, like
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the sack number is one thing, and that matters when
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it comes to contracts. I think, I mean that's those yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And we were talking about contracts and our conversation around
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: free agency all that stuff. In terms of game impact, Okay,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the sacks are great and they do impact. I mean
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: because the quarterbacks on the ground, that's always positive for
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the defense. But there are other ways that the game
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: can be impacted by a defensive end. He's done a
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: lot of that, ladies.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Where just went over time.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Our last I talked too long, our last hot take
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: or cole take, whatever it were.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: What's JP's hot mini camp take.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Hot mini camp take. I believe that the loss of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the running back each n eight Chan, however you say,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: ehn here, is not going to be that huge of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a blow for this team. I think they are very
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: confident in what the running back room can be, especially
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: with the two guys they drafted last year and well
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: you talked about earlier with Alan and Touton. Of course,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez has banged up right now. He's got a lower injury.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You know, a mere Abdula has been in the league forever,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: but he's kind of that veteran presence there. I think
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: they're gonna find ways to utilize all kind of different
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: guys back there and not have a true number one back.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think because we talk a lot of at
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver room, not needing a number one wide
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: receiver in this offense, but these guys have kind of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: different skill sets. We saw a lot of bacial tooting
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: between the tackles last year, which I I was a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: little surprised because he's a four to three to two guy.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And then at the end we saw him break open some.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And then like Quinn, Allen's got the physicality and the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: presence and the past protection game and a little edge
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to him, a lot of an edge to him, so
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: that you know that's those are cool. I don't think
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: they don't necessarily have to have. Now if you have
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley on the team, different animal, right, but he's not.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Those guys don't walk through the door every day. I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: think they can run this offense how they want without
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a true number one back.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I agree, And I think they will be a better
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: running team than they were last year. And I think
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: fans might not think that, but I think there'll be
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a more efficient running team. I mean, I have a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: thousand yeard rush, but I think they I think they
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: will feel by the end of the season better about
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: how the running game is fueling the overall offense.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And now this is an OTA take right or is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: this an off season take two? Because if it's an
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: O take, I'd have to go somewhere else because the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: run game, what are you gonna really do in the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: run games? No pads on, You're not going to really
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: find out a lot until they do nine on seven season.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It's an off season take, so that's a general off season.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we will go now from our take to the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Ozone interview with Jaguars second year running back now with
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Quinn Allen. All Right, welcome into the Ozone podcast interview.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I always say I'm excited about
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the interview, because I am. But I've been looking forward
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to talking to Jack war Is running back for Quinn
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Allen for a long time. I think Jaguars fans are
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: excited to hear from you. First of all, I appreciate you.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Joining, Yes, sir, I appreciate you for having me.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Tell me about the twenty twenty six off season vibe
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: around here. You got here's a rookie last year, so
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: maybe you were just learning everything. But I guess tell
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: me overall with the team, what you think of the energy,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: the vibe right now.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I think we're moving in the right direction, you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: connecting and you know, the Vets are taking care of
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: the younger guys and things like that and building relationships.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, if everyone can relate and then
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: everyone has the same.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Goal, I believe.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: But once that happens, you know, it's easier to go
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: towards that goal because we're more connected and not that
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: many teams are connected.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Did you have a chance from from January to April
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: to breathe a little bit?
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Meaning I mean, yes, the whole.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Rookie year without having a chance to really think about that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, for sure, definitely. But I took advantage. That's
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: why I said yes or no. I took advantage and
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: went out there in Arizona, Arizona, right yeah, and working
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: on speed and Julie things like that, and getting my
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: legs stronger and you know, just getting my whole body
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: stronger and then more mobile, and you know, just being
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: prepared for this season.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: So just making it as rookie wasn't enough.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: For you, No, sirkay, no, sir?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: What's next?
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: What's next to attacking this season? Twenty twenty sixth season?
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: You know, get everyone on board. You know the train
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: is leaving.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: You know we're going to that common goal.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: We're gonna you know, dominate every point in that you
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: know comes our way because we work too hard.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I think people who follow the Jags and follow this website,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I feel like they know a little bit about you. Yes, sir,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: how your attitude and your approach is so notable, meaning
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: you never see you really down. I assume even when
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: you came in and you know, sort of had an
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: uphill battle to make the team or to establish yourself.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Where does that come from? That energy, that outlook on life.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I love football, I love everything that has to do
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: with football, and you know, football is a collective sports,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: so that means I have to make sure my teammates
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: is on you know, in their best state of mind,
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: and you know they're moving right and you know they're
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: not thinking of anything negative. I told them, always think positive,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: and I'm right by your side all the time, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: no matter what, you know, if you lose a reight,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: went and way, I'm still gonna be right there, you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: helping too. So I just think that comes with just
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: loving a game of football and loving the process over
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: the results. And yeah, just loving the game and everything
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: that comes with it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: What are first days like for you?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: And what I'm getting at is that some people, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I'm one of them, you come in and it takes
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you two or.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Three weeks to sort of adapt to an environment.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I get the idea that you don't play around with
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: any adapt in the environment for sure. I mean, you
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: come in first day and feel like, for sure belong
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and get and I get to know people for sure.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I was always the guy, you know, just growing up.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I speak first. It doesn't matter, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: I say hey first or whatever.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: But whether you're right or wrong, you're gonna talk first.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna talk first.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna talk first because I just put my pride
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: to the side. I've been down a lot in my
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: life and things like that, have been through some dark
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: places and things like that. So just learning from that
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: and then learning learning where my feet is today, you know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: just running and walking with it at the same time
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: as being where my feet is and just learning what
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: I've been through and just taking it, you know, to
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: what we were trying to do here as an organization.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And it strikes me that I usually ask guys when
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: their rookies.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: When did you sort.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Of know you were gonna make it and be good
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: enough in the NFL? But I kind of get the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: idea with you. It never occurred to you that you Yeah.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: I didn't me.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: I love football, and I look at football as football.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I don't look at the draft as.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Rounds or nothing, right, uh me, personally, I don't care
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: about anything like that as long as you give me
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: how many jersey and things like that. I'm a rock
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: out for you, yes, sir, But that's just how I
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: look at things, right. And then once I was in
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: the building, you know, I was ready to compete with
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: anybody anywhere, in any place, and at the same time
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: taking care of my teammates, but just being a competitor
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: all the time, no matter if we're about to draw
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: some I want to try to beat you. Take a
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: competitive So I think that's what it takes in its organization.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: And then within like the league, you know, everyone's good
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: in their own way.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: What do you what else? What's next? What do you
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: bring to the table?
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: So I try to bring, you know, stuff that people
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: don't really think about sometimes.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, we all saw you on Miked Up, which you're
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: sort of a miked.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Up star last year. Yes, sir, who is your favorite
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: guy to mess with?
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: My favorite guy? Mess with me?
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Or because we all saw the highest tweaking guys and
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that's part of what you like that and that kind
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: of being and irritant.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: What was the most fun my favorite guy to mess with?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Was?
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Are you saying like in general from last year? Well, yeah,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: my favorite there's a list. No, it's just like, man,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: if you're lining up against you know, the Jaguars, man,
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: I got to mess with everyone that's not on the Jaguars.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: So that's that's my mindset.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Because it's it's like you're trying to stop us from
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: getting to our goal, you know, and I don't. I
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: don't like that too much. So I feel like, yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: just everyone, everyone with the opposite jersey, you know, attack them.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: And that's I feel like that's what comes with football.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Too little football.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: When did you start playing football?
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Six years old?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: When do you start trash talking?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Six years old?
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: I actually got a little a little funny video if
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: you guys want it. It's like I never changed even
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: at that age, but definitely now.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I assume growing up you're always the best player.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, I tried to work hard to be gotcha, Yes, sir.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Tell me about your role this year, coming in a
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: third back last year. But around this team, this team
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: does not pigeonhole guys into roles.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: The competition, I assume going in you're looking for what role.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Just any role that I work hard for and every day,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: you know, at the same time, bringing everyone in, like
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: the position group with me, and you know, just bringing
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: everyone together. It's a competition, but you want to make
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: sure everyone is on the same page and know everything
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: and move as one because at.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: The end of the day, we are a unit and
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: we need everyone.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: So I just work hard and you know, just try
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: to be myself every day, and then that's up to
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: the coaches. They determine, you know, my roles and all
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: of that. But I determine my effort and what I
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: learned and what I know and what I established on
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: the field when it's time.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Now, most backs says a lot of acts. They judge themselves.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Look at the stats sheet, how many ads, how many carries? Yes, sir,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: it strikes me you look at Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I don't even look at myself as a running back though.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: That's the crazy part.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: But that's that's my position and that's what I do.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: But I just I'm just a football player. I love
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: to play everything.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: So they tell you you got to play special teams,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: you don't say half to you say get.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: To step up.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I'm the first one step up. I love it because
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: it's like that's what's gonna take the win. And that's what,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: like I said, people don't they kind of look past
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: those things, like the little things, and then those are
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: the little things that determine, you know, win or lost.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: You know, it could be offense, defensive played.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: But then if you look on special teams, that special
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: team played determined a lot because they flipped the field,
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: uh the field like where the balls start.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: But this is a lot of things. But I love it.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I love all phases of football.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: And you know, so when people sort of heat praise
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: on you, Oh what a great blocking backyard, what a
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: great passball.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: That's just one attribute they see. Yeah, I know it's more.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I know it's more so whenever the time come and
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: show more and continue to work whenever it's allowed.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir, why thirty six last year and why five
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: this year?
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Uh, thirty six?
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: I came into thirty six and then, like I said,
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: I don't care about nothing else but football. Make sure
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: my teammates around me developed, and I'm bringing them with me,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: and we're all on a goal. So the number, I
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: didn't care about the number. Honestly, they gave me thirty six,
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I bocked out with it all year, didn't changed, and
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: then five. Just trying to get any single digit, that's all.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: It was really nothing to it. If they gave me
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: one hundred, I were one hundred.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: They're probably not gonna do that. Why is it so
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: important to you to have the junior on the back
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: of your jersey?
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: That means a lot to me, just knowing who I
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: come from and just knowing what he established me and
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: allowed me to be who I am today, and you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: a positive way to the youth and to fans, you know, teammates,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: just being a positive image to the whole you know world,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: And like I said, just looking at dark times and
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: things like that, just being through dark time, Sure it
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: helps you out a lot down the road.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: And he always uh pushed you and made sure you
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: knew that you could be great.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Right, yes, sir, Yes, sir, definitely, And just you know
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: how he grew up. It's kind of hard so he
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: just always told me, you know, turn that into something good.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: And you know, that's what I'm doing. That's what I'm
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: still going to continue to do. And I know he's
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: looking over me.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: But even though you, I mean, even though you had
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: tough times, tell me if this is right?
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: I read a story research for this.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, used to chop wood and paint, yes, sir, in
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: high school, just to help people out.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I mean get ready for to help people
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: out and to get like a different type of work ethic,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: just knowing like and then when you're.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Up to yeah, I was messing up too.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: So it's discipline, helping people out and just knowing like
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: is good, it's better days coming.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: It's kind of you know, And I.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Would say, but you know, just learning, just not knowing
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: who I was yet, right, just not knowing who I
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: was yet and then you know, just bring the right
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: people around me and you know, tunnel vision onto the goal.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Sir?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: What helped you figure out who you are?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Tough times, tough times, things going not my way, all
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: negative things. I would say, it helped me bring to
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: a positive, a power for more powerful positive that overweighs
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: all the negative.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I would say, good stuff.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Your approach on the field of not backing down in
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: any situation.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: That's just me and my d I think it coming
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: from my father kind, but that's just Zimmy, that's me.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So is that there when you were ten or Okay.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: So that's just always been I didn't even know coming up.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: I was tackling my order cousins in the front yard.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Uncle and I.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: I used to tell me that. So just even before
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: I knew I had to bring I was already doing that.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: You were like three or four before I even knew
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: what I was. I was already doing that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Pre you trash talking them too.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: I went, I went, I don't know all that, but
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I was. I was literally tackling them in the front yet. Yeah,
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: probably not, probably not.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: You mentioned before the running back rip. Yes, without Travis,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: what do you see it looking like next year? I
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: mean it's very much a balanced and you get the
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: idea even last year that it was a group that
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: worked together together.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, even when travels were here. We're working together
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: learning from Travis, and you know that was amazing, just
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: learning from Travis.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: I used to watch Travis.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: On TV and things like that and just be able
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: to learn from him and be in the same room
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: and compete with him. It was amazing, but not definitely.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: We are all together, even though it's a competition, but
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: we bring we bring everyone together. We don't like to
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: make anyone feel left out or you know, bring them
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: down or anything.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: We bring them up. And you know, we all we
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: try to.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: We try to all coach each other up when it's possible.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Now people tend to I just want to pigeonhole guys
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: into roles. We started talking about this earlier last year
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: third down back, but this team really doesn't see you
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: that way. When they see you as a guy who
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: can carry it, who can catch it. I assume you
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: feel like there's a lot more there than what you showed.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Last year, Yes, sir, for sure.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: And that comes with you know, the process and then
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: learning new things and learning the whole offense. And this year,
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: I would say second nature more second nature. Last year
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: is more thinking a little bit, but more deliverate, focused too,
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: and just knowing like and then predetermined like if they
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: lined up like this is only two things that can happen,
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: and that's that's taking to the next level. And I
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: try to do that and then that way be available
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: to everything, not just blocking. But Reebercas need me to go.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: That's why I'm and go play at a high level.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: How much film study for you in the off season?
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: I mean film studying the off season?
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much what you do. It sounds like I.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Would say I worked out more than our film study
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: in the off season, but now it's more I'm more
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: locked in on my film focus.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: When you were working out was that was.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: More speed, quick movements and things like that, and top
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: of the routes and conditioning all the time.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: But power.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I was in that weight room getting my legs stronger.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: You're still excited about what's to come, aren't you?
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I can't wait, So practice right now or
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: game right now?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I go.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I got you see last thing we do, it's called
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: the zone FI five fun questions. But Quinn, what was
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: your last binge watch?
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Oh mmm, I watched.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: I watched the Planet of the Apes again, and I realized.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Caesar was powerful.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: He was powerful and then like he was different. But
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: then he realized other people were like a little different.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: So he tried, you know, to bring everyone together. So
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: when the Apes were strong together, nobody could really mess
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: with him.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, that's why that's what I watched.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Like when I'm old enough to see the original Planet of.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: The Apes, Yeah, for sure.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: On the way in in the morning podcast or music
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: music and now this morning, what was the song?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Ah, I can't.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know at the top of my head, but
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty amped in the morning. A lot of people, yeah,
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: a lot of people say that I.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Need a chill in the morning, but nah, I love.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: The music's real in the morning. I got you.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: The athlete that you most want to see or most
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: glad you have seen.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Mmmm, that's that's good. That's a good question. Like Mike
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Tyson or there are two different fighters, but their work
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: ethic and you know they were good at what they do.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: But if you like watch some of their videos, like
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: their workout videos, it's like pretty intense and like focused
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: and then like you can see the same thing translation
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: transition into you know when it's actually time to do it,
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: And I think.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, you guys love boxing, man, Yes, sir.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It's the sport other than football the base really Yes, Okay,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: what did you play?
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Center field? Short stout hip?
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: I can hit all through the line up, but I
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: say I probably be like fifth probably like fifth.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Around there?
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Could you hit the curveball?
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Gotta sit back on it, back on there?
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: And final question the person or people that you wouldn't be.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: Here without my mom, my dad and God got you
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: one hundred m h.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I can talk more onto it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: My dad helped me, uh just uh figure out who
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I was and just know like good from bad and
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: just always keep my head on swiping things like that
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: and just know who's good form who's not. Then my
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: mom just all around, you know, just.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Developed me I was. I was a tough kid, a
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: wild kid, and you know.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Just say for sure and then just see not disappointed
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: in me, but it's kind of sad I was acting
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: with I was acting kind of did something to me
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: and made me like I want to do right sure
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: in life and yeah, this is what I've been through.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Just helped me shape who I am.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Gotcha, Quinn, You're a joy to talk to. I can't
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: thank you enough for joining the other podcast. You watching
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: you next year?
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Yes, thank you very much, bud It, thank you.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: He's outstanding JP and he's uh such a engaging kid
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: for being his age. And I don't say that as
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: anything against.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: The youth of art, Well, some kids are different.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: He is so mature and so uh self aware. And
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I don't always enjoy talking to rookies because they don't
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: much say yet. Last year, interviewed on the field during
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: training camp, and I was like, this kid is different,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: He's wired different. Whatever he's been through growing up, he
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: has come to the league mature box, ready to open.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And I I would I'm not in the locker room,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: so it's hard for me to know exactly what the
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: dynamics are. Be surprising me if he's not a locker
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: room leader. Just by his sheer force of personality and
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: the way he approaches his profession.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: He's a seventh round draft pick. Yeah, those guys, I
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: mean a lot of times won't make teams, you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: and especially when there's another running back drafted in the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: second or third round and a former first round running
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: back on the roster last year. I mean, so for
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: him to break through, maintain his status, stay on the roster,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that's one thing. And then to contribute like he did.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, just his physicality and the way you talked
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: about him being a nice guy and he's super approachable
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: off the field. Great with the microphone. We just heard
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: incredible in the locker room just to deal with on
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: a day to day basis, and I'm sure he's probably
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: a similar teammate just behind the scenes in the building,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and he just kind of feels like that guy, but
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: he doesn't look like that guy. Between the lines. He
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: looks like he wants to rip people's heads off special teams,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: like he's going down and goes after the ball. And
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: then in the running game pass protection, he doesn't fear
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: anybody's in the face of Max Crosby last year. I mean,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: he kind of sets the tone in a lot of
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: ways to the offense and kind of leave that sometimes
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to the offensive line for physicality and that kind of stake.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: But he adds to that and you know, and he's
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: gonna go defend his team and do all that stuff too.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: We saw that in Miami and training camp when there
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: was this big fight between the teams, which you don't want,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: but he's gonna be. He was kind of the first
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: one into the fray.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: You don't mind it every now and then, and you
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: like seeing the guy. And he's a guy who it
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: never occurred to him when he walked in here that
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: he didn't belong right as a rookie. That's rare sometimes
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: and it's hurt him. Well, I think he's going to be,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: you know, his rookie contract and hopefully after that a
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: very important player out here.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Think about it. Last training camp, he was twenty years
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: old and now he's going to be twenty two in August,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: so like he was young when he got here. You guys,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't see that a whole lot. I mean,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you see the older guys now the way college football
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: is gone. But for him to be that age and
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: that physical and be able to stay in here and
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: keep at it and keep getting better, that's awesome, man. JP.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: The last thing we do on the ozone podcast is
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: the ozone mail bag. Oh sweet, I've printed out some questions.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Oh you're familiar with already.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I read this every day.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you already know where I'm going with.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I don't want to, like, you know, give the whole
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: how the sausage is made of the ozone, but I
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: read it every day.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: We'll leave it at that, which I guess makes you
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: one of the lucky ones.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: One of them. There's one. Uh Scooby Doo from Las
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Vegas via Cresview, Florida, that's over the panhandlestview. Yeah, I'm
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: intrigued that the three wide receivers all look good. I
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: know it's only June, but how does this impact the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: frequency of jumbo packages? Imagine Trevor with three plus receivers
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: this fall. Do we not want him throwing four hundred
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: yards a game?
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Yet?
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: So many of these topics, I consider them off season
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: worries that never really become things.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: During the regular season. Right.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars next season will have the option of going
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: four wide with Travis Hunter. Yeahj They'll have the option
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: of going three wide, the option of playing twelve thirteen personnel,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: two tight ends, three tight ends. I don't think the
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: bunch back they're game planning or scheming. This is all
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: that concerned right now about Oh, can we get eighty
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: percent in three wide receivers?
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Do we play?
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: They want all of these packages to be dangerous, so
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: the defenses have trouble defending them, and the percentage of
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: time will play out, meaning snaps will play out as
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: it plays out. So if we've talked ad nauseam about
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: twelve and thirteen personnel, I don't know how much they're
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: going to play twelve and thirteen personnel. But the idea
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: is when they go to it, they want to be
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: able to use it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: And it's the old thing.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: If they had not used any twelve or thirteen personnel
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: last year at all except in the fourth quarter and
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: it's Houston and gotten two first downs, that would have
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: been worth it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: So you want to have your tools there when they're ready.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: And I think this is going to be you know,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I think there will be games where they go three
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: and four wide a lot because it's working. Defenses will
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: scheme that and they'll be able to go twelve to
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: thirteen personnel in the next game.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It's a week to week league, I mean, it changes
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: every week dependent because they'll be adjustments by the other
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: teams and you've got to have that weapon available in
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: your arsenal to pull out if you need it.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think this probably is the most i
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: mean dangerous, diverse loaded offense that I can remember here.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Ever, well, I mean it's early days pretty yas.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Early days had a high end talent, meaning Fred Taylor,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Smith now you know, but James Stewart and Fred
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: were on, you know, so you had big time players.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure you went as deep a tight end.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you had quite the options at three and
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: four receivers with that team. So the tool it's also
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: a different league. You know, you didn't have all this
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: many packages, this many tools. But Liam's got tools to
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: just at his disposal that are special.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: He likes to use them too, and they like to
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: scheme it up back to it to.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Be fun to watch those wrinkles next year.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: That's right, all right? Next question for you Travis from
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: High Springs, Florida. I think that's northwest of Gainesville.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I believe higher higher Springsville.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: And yeah, not below Springs, the High Springs. Do you
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: believe Parker Washington can emerge as the top receiver for
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the Jags this season? Sure?
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Because he did last year.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: At the end, I don't know that he will, and
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know that they care if he does. Meaning
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: this offense, we talk so much based on things we
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: hear on TV, right, and they're always talking about wide
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: receiver ones, And does this offense need a wide receiver one?
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: No, so sure Parker could be the best receiver.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: The good thing for this team is Brian Thomas also
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: could be the best receiver. Jakobe Myers could be the
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: best receiver. We haven't even mentioned a kid who had
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: in his last game last year had seven for one
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: hundred and five, or Travis we get the exact numbers.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: They have four if you count Brenton Strange. I haven't
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: seen Borctry yet or Cozial, but they've got at least
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: five guys that I can name on the top of
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: my head that it would not surprise you to see
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: him standing on the postgame podium, And wouldn't surprise you
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: to have one hundred next to their stat line.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: In any given game. I mean it could rotate aro
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: out right right.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: So would's shock you if Jacoby Myers has one hundred
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns?
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: No b TJ. You know. So, uh, you have five
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: guys at least who.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Can hurt you if defenses don't account for you. That's
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: a lot. You have to have four to be a
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: great offense. This team might have five or six.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: How many other teams are this deep receivers? Well, there's
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: some really high end, top end receivers.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: As talented, but there's not that many teams that you
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: know they're going to use them. That's thing with Liam.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: You know, these guys they are they showed last year.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Not only can they do it, they have no qualms
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: about Hey, in the first quarter, Hey we're feeding Parker.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Hey we're feeding Jacoby, We're feeding BTJ. And there's no
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: nerves about that.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: That's real. Big finish JP.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: One more to finished. Sean from Oakley, Florida. That's on
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: the west side, Clay County.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Not far from here, almost Jackson, so officially Clay County.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I think it is could be close enough. Any deep
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: thoughts on a four point field goal for long distance kicks.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: There were two of them in a UFL game on Sunday. Yeah.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Unsurprisingly, Liam and I differ on this. Mike Dorocco of
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: ESPN asked Liam on the podium today about this, and
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Liam's all in.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Likes the four.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Point field goal, likes the game strategy. He's a young man.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I'm an old man. To me, three has been fine.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Three.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I necessarily want to see teams
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: trying to lose yardage laiden games to fall back and hit. Now,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: as I write, often, just because I feel this way,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: it doesn't mean I'm right. They might put it in
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: and it might be terrific for the game. I may
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: have been arguing against the three point shot thirty five
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: years ago. So I kind of think the league might
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: be convinced to go to this someday because they like
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: adding wrinkles. I don't necessarily, I don't like the idea
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: from a history standpoint of changing scoring.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: As soon as I say that the two point conversion
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: has added a lot to it in the time that
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I've covered the league, and you need to have two
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: point plays, that's right now they do.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: It's better.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: So the old man in me is always going to
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: shout at clouds and say, don't change. But I see
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: it adding something. I could also see it making the
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: end of the game weird in a way that doesn't
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: quite look like football.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: You probably ford if you have a kicker that's made
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: multi six yard field goals in one season, including the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: NFL record, you know, and in the preseason a seventy
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: yarder like so, when you have a weapon like that, Yeah, sure,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: we like the rule. That's a great idea. We should
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: talk about it. If you don't, you're probably not for it,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and and okay, and then talking about the end of
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the games, Let's say a team takes a knee and
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: gets back to a sixty one yard field goal. Try,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: why can't the defense just jump off sides because they'll
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: decline it every time? Whatever? How many times does that
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: happen to get them back across the threshold before? It's
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: like me, at some point you get.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Some stuff like that, you kick the ball or not.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Now the other side of it is how much more
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: intriguing would it make?
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: You're down four?
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just got to get to a certain line
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: and then you're good.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: But then, at what point are you saying, Okay, if
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: you hear from seventy, you get five? I mean, do
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: you if you.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Get it through the clown's mouth, does the get an
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: extra prize at the end? Like, how's that work? I
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: think that's stuffed animal. If you make a seven yard
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: field goal.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: I think the clown's mouth is probably a good place
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: to close. We'll put a windmill in this week's Ozone
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Podcast with Fantastic Job, JP Shatterck.
• 39:15
