Speaker 1: I'm J. P. Shadrick with the best of the past
0:14
Speaker 1: week from Jaguars Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and our social

0:32
Speaker 1: your pods. And of course we love that feedback, so
0:35
Speaker 1: leave us a comment and a five star rating. Let's
0:38
Speaker 1: begin with Hall of Fame defensive end Bruce Smith. He
0:41
Speaker 1: posted Instagram comments about newly elected Hall of Fame left
0:45
Speaker 1: tackle Tony Basselli and his election and upcoming in Shrimant
0:48
Speaker 1: into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But Selly is
0:51
Speaker 1: not planning on reacting publicly. CBS Sports senior writer Pete
0:55
Speaker 1: Prisco did react publicly on Jaguars Happy Our Radio with
0:59
Speaker 1: Jeff Laga and than Me Thursday afternoon. He said much more,
1:03
Speaker 1: we'll get to it coming up. Pete Prisco of CBS
1:06
Speaker 1: Sports might have a few things to say about this
1:08
Speaker 1: as well. Good afternoon until your Pete. What's up? What's up? JP?
1:12
Speaker 1: You know, look, it's it's nice to see Bruce saying
1:15
Speaker 1: those things because we've gotta knock the sell me down
1:17
Speaker 1: a few pegs before the ceremony, don't we No I'm
1:21
Speaker 1: getting I mean, you know, JP, a we ever talked
1:24
Speaker 1: about is how giant his head is. Well, that thing
1:26
Speaker 1: is going to be out of control in the next
1:27
Speaker 1: two months, so I mean, you know, bringing them down
1:29
Speaker 1: a little bit is not a bad thing, right, was
1:32
Speaker 1: not what I was expecting to hear. But yeah, I
1:34
Speaker 1: guess kidding. And I just don't understand where Bruce is
1:40
Speaker 1: coming from and why why now, why all of a
1:43
Speaker 1: sudden do you pop that out there and say that,
1:46
Speaker 1: and and it just isn't a good look for him.
1:49
Speaker 1: Is this is an exclusive club and welcome to the
1:51
Speaker 1: club everybody. You know, By the way, I'm gonna take
1:53
Speaker 1: a shot at the guy who's now coming into the club.
1:55
Speaker 1: It just Bruce Smith looks terrible, uh, with way handled
2:00
Speaker 1: this thing. And I think that's getting a lot of pushback.
2:03
Speaker 1: And he's getting a lot of pushback, which is the
2:05
Speaker 1: way it should be, Pete. And then the other thing
2:07
Speaker 1: I think that's disappointing is that he makes a statement,
2:11
Speaker 1: but then in that statement he uses the line and
2:14
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read this because I think this is important.
2:17
Speaker 1: He says, um I and other Hall of Famers. He
2:22
Speaker 1: uses that as if there's other Hall of Famers that
2:26
Speaker 1: believe the same as him. That's I mean, that's that's
2:30
Speaker 1: not okay to say, well, you know, I got some
2:33
Speaker 1: other guys that are in the Hall of Fames that
2:34
Speaker 1: don't appreciate what's happening here. Don't do that because the
2:39
Speaker 1: name names Bruce, Well, you don't name names because you
2:42
Speaker 1: know what, let them attach their own thoughts to their
2:45
Speaker 1: own name. You don't just drag a couple more guys
2:48
Speaker 1: in anonymously to help make your point. I mean, I
2:53
Speaker 1: just think that that was just that was just chicken,
2:55
Speaker 1: you know what. You know who one of those guys is.
2:58
Speaker 1: And and I've because I've actually thought took over the
3:00
Speaker 1: years and I've argued with him. And one of those
3:03
Speaker 1: guys that never thought Tony was that girl was John Randall.
3:07
Speaker 1: And the reason being, you remember the game up there, Love,
3:11
Speaker 1: when you were on the team that year, right, that
3:13
Speaker 1: was the year Jonathan Quinn. Were you You were still there,
3:15
Speaker 1: weren't you? Jonathan? What year was that when Jonathan Quinn
3:18
Speaker 1: had to play quarterback at Minnesota on a Monday night?
3:21
Speaker 1: Maybe you were, Maybe you weren't on the team now,
3:23
Speaker 1: but but it was a nobody everything. Johnathan Quinn was
3:27
Speaker 1: the third teh quarterback and he had to start the game.
3:29
Speaker 1: And the Vikings were one of the better teams in
3:30
Speaker 1: the league that year, and they went up there and
3:32
Speaker 1: got ambushed, and Tony had a bad game, like everybody did.
3:35
Speaker 1: And Tony will be the first admit he says it
3:36
Speaker 1: now to this day. I didn't play well against Randall.
3:39
Speaker 1: And John Randall will sit there and say, well, Tony
3:42
Speaker 1: wasn't a good player, And I go, John, you can't
3:44
Speaker 1: say that off of one game. Give me a break.
3:46
Speaker 1: I mean, that's ridiculous. And and so that's probably the
3:49
Speaker 1: other guy that Bruce Smith's talking about. But Randal speak
3:52
Speaker 1: of mine, I mean, don't don't write I don't. I
3:56
Speaker 1: just don't understand what was the reasoning for it. It's
3:59
Speaker 1: not just one game. By the way, he played him
4:01
Speaker 1: again and handled him in the next time they played too.
4:03
Speaker 1: Remember that people don't realize that he dominated him again
4:06
Speaker 1: as the second time he played him, So I just
4:08
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad look for Bruce Smith. That
4:10
Speaker 1: was the final Jaguars Happy Our radio show of the
4:13
Speaker 1: off season, and we'll be back the first week of
4:15
Speaker 1: training camp at the end of July. Now to the
4:18
Speaker 1: ozone Podcast. This week, number one overall pick outside linebacker
4:22
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker sat down with John Osier and talked through plenty,
4:26
Speaker 1: including how it's gone so far in Jacksonville. What have
4:29
Speaker 1: the last six weeks been like? Last six weeks and
4:32
Speaker 1: he's man, had just been like a grind, like just
4:34
Speaker 1: coming in to work every day, trying to grasp all
4:38
Speaker 1: the plays things and that sort. The language of what
4:41
Speaker 1: they use here is totally different from college. Just basically
4:44
Speaker 1: been on the grind, trying to learn everything, process everything.
4:47
Speaker 1: So in this little break that we're get now, just
4:49
Speaker 1: continue to grow off of that and come back in
4:52
Speaker 1: better position than I would when I left. I should
4:55
Speaker 1: say thank you from the start, because I know media,
4:58
Speaker 1: I know talking about yourself is not really a thing, right, Definitely,
5:01
Speaker 1: I really don't like to I wouldn't say media is
5:04
Speaker 1: my thing, it's this. I don't like being singled out
5:07
Speaker 1: like that. There's a lot of other people out here, like,
5:09
Speaker 1: I really don't mind doing a lot of different interviews
5:12
Speaker 1: with other players with me the way I'm not just
5:14
Speaker 1: always the attention talking to people about you a little
5:18
Speaker 1: bit and reading a bit about you. Obviously your family
5:22
Speaker 1: and your parents a huge influence. You chose to be
5:25
Speaker 1: with them during the draft. Is that approach from your
5:27
Speaker 1: upbringing just not really a lot about trade line you
5:30
Speaker 1: rather be about other people and about a group. I
5:33
Speaker 1: guess yeah, I basically just say how I was raised
5:35
Speaker 1: and then growing up like I was always one of
5:38
Speaker 1: the biggest kids playing on the field, so I always
5:41
Speaker 1: received at tension, and I always felt myself just shine
5:44
Speaker 1: back away from all the attention I was getting. So
5:47
Speaker 1: like people at the game, they always be like, oh,
5:49
Speaker 1: you did so good. I'll be like, thank you. I'll
5:52
Speaker 1: tell them thank you, but once they keep dwelling on it,
5:54
Speaker 1: like I don't don't need to keep dwelling on this
5:56
Speaker 1: in the past. I'm trying to move on and just
5:58
Speaker 1: keep approving. In that sense, I would guess football appeals
6:02
Speaker 1: to you because it's maybe the ultimate team game, right,
6:05
Speaker 1: That's that's definitely what it is. When like I look
6:07
Speaker 1: at football. My main goal is to win the Super Bowl,
6:10
Speaker 1: so therefore it's going to take a complete team effort
6:14
Speaker 1: in order to do that. And was that I assume
6:16
Speaker 1: that's what it was fun about last year because everything
6:18
Speaker 1: you're ready to be at that Georgia team, you're on
6:21
Speaker 1: a lot of camaraderie, a lot of pride in what
6:24
Speaker 1: you guys were accomplishing, and a lot of pride and
6:26
Speaker 1: what other players around you were accomplishing. Like last year out,
6:30
Speaker 1: one of our main goals was just connection and having
6:33
Speaker 1: that connection with the guy besides, you make you realize
6:36
Speaker 1: a lot of other things outside of things on the
6:38
Speaker 1: football field and things out the field as well, so
6:42
Speaker 1: you really get to know that player as a person
6:44
Speaker 1: in general instead of just a teammate. It's almost unfair question,
6:47
Speaker 1: but growing up I assumed I assume you followed football.
6:51
Speaker 1: I assume you had this dream. Did you ever even
6:55
Speaker 1: dream about being the number one pick? Or does that
6:57
Speaker 1: not even end in your mind? Or you just I mean,
7:01
Speaker 1: I'd love to know how that process works for the player.
7:03
Speaker 1: I definitely had to say if you're a true foot
7:06
Speaker 1: like for me, I was a love football growing up always,
7:09
Speaker 1: so of course growing up I always dreamed I would
7:12
Speaker 1: be a number one NFL draft pick one day, and
7:15
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, it came true later on down the line,
7:18
Speaker 1: but it was something that I never just really stressed on,
7:22
Speaker 1: Like I always told myself, Yeah, I want to be
7:24
Speaker 1: number one, but my main goal was just to get there.
7:27
Speaker 1: Once I got there, I know everything was going to
7:29
Speaker 1: take care of itself on the hard work, and I'm
7:31
Speaker 1: very dedicated to the game. So as long as I
7:33
Speaker 1: just continuing those footsteps, continue to grow as a person
7:36
Speaker 1: a player, and it's going to work out for the
7:38
Speaker 1: best of mind. Theson podcast is available now through the

Speaker 1: on the DAIS Monday afternoon. Lamping then joined Jags Drive
11:40
Speaker 1: Time Tuesday morning with Ashlan Sullivan, John Osan, and Brian
11:43
Speaker 1: Sexson and discussed the naming rights the future of the
11:46
Speaker 1: Jaguars Stadium and the shipyards. It feels like it's an
11:49
Speaker 1: overdue project. Well, it it unlocks a lot of other things.
11:54
Speaker 1: That's why at the time when we were able fortunate
11:56
Speaker 1: enough to get approval for this project, I said it
11:59
Speaker 1: was something that's gonna be really, really significant in the
12:02
Speaker 1: history of the Jaguars. The reason for that is is
12:05
Speaker 1: it was the necessary first step for us to be
12:08
Speaker 1: able to really dig into um the stadium of the future.
12:12
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do to make sure that t
12:14
Speaker 1: I a bank field, uh meets the needs of our
12:17
Speaker 1: of our of our of our fans, of other stakeholders,
12:22
Speaker 1: of the Universities of Florida and Georgia, the Gator Bull
12:25
Speaker 1: concert promoters. We have to make sure that the stadium
12:29
Speaker 1: can meet the needs of all of those parties going
12:31
Speaker 1: well in the future, so that we can achieve our
12:34
Speaker 1: ultimate goal, which is to ensure that there's NFL football
12:37
Speaker 1: here in Northeast Florida for generations to come. Where is
12:39
Speaker 1: that stadium project right now? You know? We uh, we
12:42
Speaker 1: kicked it off about two years ago with the with
12:44
Speaker 1: the city of Jacksonville. We've gone through a series of
12:47
Speaker 1: necessary first steps against some of them pretty boring a
12:50
Speaker 1: full assessment of the of the stadium, But something really
12:54
Speaker 1: important came out of that, which is the structural systems
12:57
Speaker 1: within the stadium are in are in good shape and
12:59
Speaker 1: and and that's an important finding because it opens up
13:02
Speaker 1: the possibility for a renovation versus having to replace the facility.
13:07
Speaker 1: We then went to the next step of of developing
13:11
Speaker 1: three D drawings of the stadium as it exists right now. Um,
13:15
Speaker 1: we have been communicating, uh, you know, with with our fans.
13:20
Speaker 1: We've had over well over five thousand responses to a
13:23
Speaker 1: survey fans telling us those things that are important to
13:26
Speaker 1: them in in this uh in the future stadium. And
13:30
Speaker 1: we actually you know, engaged a handful of sports architects
13:35
Speaker 1: to give us their ideas and concepts. And we're beginning
13:37
Speaker 1: to to to narrow that down. And and if we
13:40
Speaker 1: can get to the point where we think we can
13:43
Speaker 1: come up with a design that that meets the needs
13:45
Speaker 1: of of our customers, that meets the needs of the
13:48
Speaker 1: other stakeholders, that meets that the needs of Jaguars and
13:50
Speaker 1: our employees we're here every day, and then we can
13:54
Speaker 1: begin to get some idea of what something like that
13:57
Speaker 1: might cost. Then we're in a position to really dial
14:00
Speaker 1: up our our conversation with with the city. The city
14:04
Speaker 1: has been involved from the beginning. I feel really comfortable
14:06
Speaker 1: about the working relationship. Uh, you know that we have
14:09
Speaker 1: and you know again this is this is the really
14:12
Speaker 1: really important first step, you know, the Miller Electric Center,
14:16
Speaker 1: and now we can really get into probably the most
14:18
Speaker 1: the more important issue, which is how do we make
14:20
Speaker 1: sure we have a stadium is going to meet the
14:22
Speaker 1: needs of all involved for you know, decades to come. Mark,
14:25
Speaker 1: you've been involved with an incredible amount of this kind
14:29
Speaker 1: of construction built MetLife where we're heavily involved with MetLife.
14:33
Speaker 1: How different is a potential renovation than building? How much
14:39
Speaker 1: more complicated? Well, it's it's it's cheaper to renovate than
14:43
Speaker 1: to build new, right, and you don't have to go
14:46
Speaker 1: find another site, you know, you don't have to you know,
14:49
Speaker 1: repeat all the infrastructure that's necessary to support a new
14:53
Speaker 1: stadium site. So it's cheaper. It is more complex, particularly
14:57
Speaker 1: when you're trying to take a thirty year old building
15:00
Speaker 1: and get it get its state of the art because
15:01
Speaker 1: it's retro fitting, I guess, and that sort of so
15:04
Speaker 1: many things have changed and you have so much that's
15:06
Speaker 1: embedded into this building. It is easier to build new.
15:09
Speaker 1: You know, it's less disruptive to build new. You close
15:13
Speaker 1: one down and you move into the next one that's
15:15
Speaker 1: completely done. So renovations generally take longer. You know, they
15:20
Speaker 1: they're stretched out a little bit, just like we're dealing
15:22
Speaker 1: with with the construction of the you know, the the
15:26
Speaker 1: Miller Electric Center. The football team is a little inconvenience
15:29
Speaker 1: right now because they're having to practice each and every
15:32
Speaker 1: day on the game field out. You know, they really
15:34
Speaker 1: like it so far, the players love it. I think
15:35
Speaker 1: it adds a good atmosphere. UM. But you know that's
15:38
Speaker 1: that's something that will will not be necessary to do
15:41
Speaker 1: once we get the new facility opened and it even
15:44
Speaker 1: things like this, this this studio right here will be
15:46
Speaker 1: over in the um. Uh, the Miller Electric Center will
15:50
Speaker 1: have better accommodations for the media, significantly better accommodations for
15:55
Speaker 1: our players, and hopefully all of that will lead to
15:58
Speaker 1: a better development process, UM, easier coaching and uh, you know,
16:04
Speaker 1: more winds to come. So much going on right now.
16:07
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to know about the shipyards in the four seasons.
16:10
Speaker 1: Where is that project right now? Well, we're we're moving
16:13
Speaker 1: ahead now. There's no question we've we've had to deal with,
16:17
Speaker 1: you know, a bushelfull of issues. But at anyone who's
16:21
Speaker 1: involved in construction these days, whether you're doing a renovation
16:23
Speaker 1: at your house or you're building a new home, you
16:26
Speaker 1: know how difficult it is. And and that's a result
16:28
Speaker 1: of so many things that are happening. It's really a
16:30
Speaker 1: unique time. You have this unprecedented level of inflation, You
16:35
Speaker 1: have the remnants of of COVID that are still impacting
16:41
Speaker 1: you know, supply chain as it relates to getting materials.
16:45
Speaker 1: You have the financial market unrest, which is related to
16:48
