- 0:27Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguar's Reporters podcast is Monday, May nine, Bashelan Sullivan,
- 0:31Speaker 1: Brian Sexton and John Os. You're here with you JP's
- 0:34Speaker 1: Chadwick on a much earned vacation. This really did really
- 0:38Speaker 1: I think he did. When JP's on vacation, how did
- 0:41Speaker 1: he know? Oh wow, trying to Patrick on the back
- 0:47Speaker 1: and you guys call him down. Do you know I'm
- 0:49Speaker 1: going to steal that line and use it as often
- 0:50Speaker 1: as possible. That's how I standing. He's gonna listen to
- 0:52Speaker 1: this on the way back and he'll be upset. He's
- 0:55Speaker 1: heard He's heard me asking that a million I'm laugh
- 0:58Speaker 1: in order one of my bad go to jicks. Yeah,
- 1:00Speaker 1: you have a couple of those, and you can be
- 1:02Speaker 1: sure that he will grab that line and use it
- 1:03Speaker 1: where he can too. Yes, he will. So it's a
- 1:06Speaker 1: it's a slow We kind of turned into a busy
- 1:07Speaker 1: week at the end of the week. Rookie Minicamp is
- 1:09Speaker 1: this weekend. We're so waiting to hear what that hales.
- 1:12Speaker 1: It has definitely changed since the Dante Fowler injury and
- 1:15Speaker 1: how we cover rookie Mini Camp. But the good news
- 1:18Speaker 1: is that the Jaguars draft picks will come to Jacksonville
- 1:21Speaker 1: this week and get settled and know where the bathrooms
- 1:24Speaker 1: are in the cafeterians kind of the first step. And
- 1:26Speaker 1: then we have schedule release this Thursday. That's always exciting,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and the London announcement last week so slow, but yet
- 1:34Speaker 1: that stuff going on this week. Rookie Minicamp certainly has
- 1:37Speaker 1: changed for the smarter around the NFL, and we kind
- 1:43Speaker 1: of use the Dante Fowler a c l as our
- 1:46Speaker 1: flashpoint because it changed for this franchise after that, But overall,
- 1:50Speaker 1: teams have figured out that a putting a rookie on
- 1:54Speaker 1: and having him do one on one pass rush two
- 1:57Speaker 1: days after he arrives or sometimes the day arrives after
- 2:01Speaker 1: training for non football stuff, after not doing anything, and
- 2:06Speaker 1: five months away from the radio season. However long we
- 2:08Speaker 1: are four is uh, when it teems, don't do it anymore.
- 2:13Speaker 1: So now it's an orientation. It's funny that we didn't
- 2:15Speaker 1: consider it beforehand, right, I mean the well, yeah, these
- 2:19Speaker 1: guys they play in a full college season, right, and
- 2:22Speaker 1: then immediately get into the training aspect of preparing, as
- 2:25Speaker 1: John said, for non football specific things like the forty
- 2:29Speaker 1: yard dash, the three cone drill. I mean, they are
- 2:31Speaker 1: working for these tests that they take and and people go, well,
- 2:35Speaker 1: I mean it's football skills, yeah, but it's different. And
- 2:38Speaker 1: I remember standing there when Dante hit the ground and
- 2:40Speaker 1: I couldn't I didn't know it was Dante at first.
- 2:43Speaker 1: And I turned to Dan Edwards and said, was that
- 2:46Speaker 1: the first round pick? And Dan went yeah, I mean
- 2:49Speaker 1: it was just so deflating for the franchise and for
- 2:52Speaker 1: the coaching staff to not have you know, this premier player,
- 2:55Speaker 1: this pass rusher that that they had needed and he
- 2:58Speaker 1: was gone. So they're smart about it now and they're
- 3:02Speaker 1: just trying to downs at orientation and they show them
- 3:04Speaker 1: with locker room is they get them into kind of
- 3:06Speaker 1: a meeting schedule so that when they show up here
- 3:08Speaker 1: for training camp they kind of understand the flow of
- 3:11Speaker 1: how it's supposed to go. Yeah, it's something that's needed
- 3:13Speaker 1: and it's kind of a process to get them in
- 3:15Speaker 1: the building, but totally different than what it was a
- 3:18Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Completely, And I know John is
- 3:20Speaker 1: okay with that because we won't be on the field
- 3:22Speaker 1: for four days. Well, I think we'll be on the
- 3:23Speaker 1: field on on Friday. I think, so sure, just one day,
- 3:27Speaker 1: you're okay with That's fine, And then we have schedule
- 3:30Speaker 1: release this Thursday. We know the Cowboys, Ravens and Giants
- 3:33Speaker 1: will be home games along the course with a division
- 3:35Speaker 1: and we know that the jog Wars will play the
- 3:37Speaker 1: Broncos in London, and head coach Doug Peterson was actually
- 3:41Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football in that announcement came out saying
- 3:43Speaker 1: London was one of the first things he checked off
- 3:46Speaker 1: the list. One of my first meetings really was with
- 3:50Speaker 1: with our our London team and and meeting meeting and
- 3:53Speaker 1: all the all the folks that are involved with the trip.
- 3:55Speaker 1: And so we we have our our our plan in
- 3:57Speaker 1: place and and we're we're ready for you know, for
- 4:00Speaker 1: for the trip and obviously the game October, and so
- 4:03Speaker 1: you know, it's something you do have to spend some
- 4:05Speaker 1: time and think about the travel and getting all your
- 4:08Speaker 1: guys and gear and equipment and the technology over there. Um,
- 4:11Speaker 1: you know, as an organization, and and you gotta do
- 4:14Speaker 1: it early. And so we've done that, we put our
- 4:16Speaker 1: plan in place, and we're just kind of waiting on
- 4:18Speaker 1: the week to get here. All right, Brian, what do
- 4:20Speaker 1: you think about that matchup? Um, well, it's Russell Wilson.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I mean Denver had talent, but they had no quarterback. Right.
- 4:29Speaker 1: They have some pieces on defense that are very very talented,
- 4:33Speaker 1: and we saw them last year, but they didn't have
- 4:35Speaker 1: a quarterback, which is why the Jaguars I think we're
- 4:36Speaker 1: able to stay with him for a while. Um, Russell
- 4:40Speaker 1: Wilson in London is It's just it's a marquee matchup.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I mean Trevor Lawrence, who we all anticipate taking a
- 4:45Speaker 1: step forward and Russell Wilson, who's in a new place.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I think it becomes a game that a lot of
- 4:50Speaker 1: people around the league are gonna want to watch. Yeah,
- 4:52Speaker 1: there was some chatter at the owners meetings and and
- 4:55Speaker 1: and and probably since I just haven't heard it since
- 4:58Speaker 1: that that Denver did want to a overseas uh this year,
- 5:03Speaker 1: and it was talked that it was going to be
- 5:04Speaker 1: this game because of their of their sales situation something
- 5:09Speaker 1: to do with that, they wanted to be over there
- 5:10Speaker 1: and and I'd be in that profile. Um I it
- 5:15Speaker 1: had gotten down when you looked at the schedule logically
- 5:18Speaker 1: that it was gonna be one of a couple of games.
- 5:20Speaker 1: They probably were not going to put the Dallas game there.
- 5:24Speaker 1: They had already done that eight years ago, so you
- 5:26Speaker 1: would have thought that they were not going to put
- 5:28Speaker 1: the Cowboys. You know, they're gonna get the Cowboys in
- 5:31Speaker 1: this stadium at some point, since they had not gotten
- 5:34Speaker 1: them in there in what two thousand and fourteen and
- 5:36Speaker 1: the the last time they were here, I think right,
- 5:39Speaker 1: and then they were in London and two thousand fourteen
- 5:41Speaker 1: and one of the early London not tobacco games or
- 5:44Speaker 1: debacles or uh so. Uh. Yeah, it'll be a good
- 5:50Speaker 1: matchup and it'll be a matter of if if if
- 5:53Speaker 1: the Jaguars are I assume the Bronchos gonna go with
- 5:57Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Are the Jaguars operating yet at an efficiency
- 6:01Speaker 1: level to play with better teams. That will be the
- 6:04Speaker 1: storyline earlier. You know, the talk on Russell Wilson is legit, obviously,
- 6:08Speaker 1: but they I mean, Jerry Judy is a an explosive
- 6:11Speaker 1: receiver and now he's got a quarterback who can really
- 6:14Speaker 1: take advantage the Broncos. Well, yeah, I mean the Broncos go. Well,
- 6:18Speaker 1: let's put it this way. The a f C West
- 6:21Speaker 1: was always going to be really good. Now. I can't
- 6:24Speaker 1: recall a division with as much hype around it at
- 6:27Speaker 1: any point in my thirty year is covering this league.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I mean, all four teams have legitimate claims. And I
- 6:34Speaker 1: mean if you consider David Carr to be a premier quarterback,
- 6:36Speaker 1: and you know he certainly has the potential to be
- 6:39Speaker 1: really good, especially now that he's got the wide receiver
- 6:41Speaker 1: Davante Adams. I mean, anything in the a f C
- 6:44Speaker 1: West is much washed football. And it was a great
- 6:47Speaker 1: move by Denver to go and bring him in. And
- 6:48Speaker 1: Derek Carr is not bad nose David that time to time.
- 6:55Speaker 1: I do it all the time. And as far as
- 6:57Speaker 1: the Broncos, anytime you can roll Rob Little and Haven
- 6:59Speaker 1: Moses out there, you're in this game back. It will
- 7:03Speaker 1: be Halloween weekend, and notable that this will be the
- 7:06Speaker 1: jaguars ninth time in London and this is the first
- 7:08Speaker 1: time the Broncos will play in London. And I was
- 7:11Speaker 1: on a podcast with the Broncos reporter and she's like,
- 7:13Speaker 1: tell me about it. I mean, how is this gonna work?
- 7:15Speaker 1: And yes, it's Russell Wilson. But that's an incredible advantage
- 7:18Speaker 1: for the Jaguars that they have done this way more
- 7:20Speaker 1: times in the Broncos have it should be I mean
- 7:23Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. Certainly a logistical advantage. Uh, with
- 7:28Speaker 1: the turnover the roster, in the turn of the coaching staff,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I think there is a a little bit of a
- 7:34Speaker 1: catch up that the staff will have to do and
- 7:38Speaker 1: some of the players have to do to get ready
- 7:40Speaker 1: for it. Um. Yeah, it as I believe London is
- 7:45Speaker 1: an advantage for a team and a roster if about
- 7:49Speaker 1: people have been over there already. But certainly the logistics
- 7:52Speaker 1: team of the Jaguars gives this team an advantage in
- 7:55Speaker 1: terms of getting over there and knowing how to do it.
- 8:00Speaker 1: In terms of the body, I do think generally speaking,
- 8:03Speaker 1: this franchise is figured out how to be at their
- 8:05Speaker 1: physical best and their mental best once they're on that field.
- 8:08Speaker 1: The issue though, going forward is that there are so
- 8:11Speaker 1: many international games now. They're playing in multiple cities and
- 8:13Speaker 1: multiple countries. Obviously, Um, you know, you'd say that about
- 8:18Speaker 1: a team, as John mentioned, that hasn't been over there,
- 8:20Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of people with the experience. But
- 8:22Speaker 1: now it looks like every team is going to play overseas,
- 8:24Speaker 1: you know, every two or three years, and so that
- 8:27Speaker 1: starts to diminish, you know, somewhat. Yeah. I mean you
- 8:31Speaker 1: had the Jaguars whips were known as London's team basically,
- 8:34Speaker 1: but in five years is that the same thing when
- 8:36Speaker 1: when you have so many teams now that are playing there,
- 8:38Speaker 1: I think it loses its appeal for sure, not as much.
- 8:40Speaker 1: But if the Jaguars continue being Wembley's team, uh, I
- 8:46Speaker 1: think there will be a a little bit of a
- 8:49Speaker 1: comfort uh and a little bit of a connection. Will
- 8:54Speaker 1: it play out too? I mean I thought there were
- 8:56Speaker 1: two or three years there, Uh when they beat the
- 8:59Speaker 1: bill is over there. The Ravens where it felt like
- 9:04Speaker 1: it was turning in, especially the Ravens game, it felt
- 9:07Speaker 1: like the Ravens had no desire to be there in
- 9:09Speaker 1: two thousand seven days. The Jaguars were ready because they
- 9:12Speaker 1: knew London since then. But it's also the old thing
- 9:16Speaker 1: that Jaguars haven't had a great home field advantage for
- 9:18Speaker 1: ten years. You know why, because they've been bad. So
- 9:21Speaker 1: that hurts when you're trying to get an advantage for something.
- 9:24Speaker 1: I'm not sure how interested people are in this, so
- 9:26Speaker 1: i won't go deep in. But you mentioned Wembley. Um,
- 9:29Speaker 1: you know the league has that partnership with Tottenham where
- 9:31Speaker 1: they played last year. And going back to Wembley, if
- 9:34Speaker 1: this is the Jaguars game, I mean they are. They
- 9:36Speaker 1: have a much greater financial gain, or the potential for
- 9:41Speaker 1: more financial gain, because they are taking on all the
- 9:44Speaker 1: risk of this and they are putting the game together.
- 9:46Speaker 1: So just going back to Wembley's not oh they liked Wembley.
- 9:49Speaker 1: It's this is a great opportunity for a franchise. There's
- 9:52Speaker 1: a lot of projects going on, as you understand, and
- 9:54Speaker 1: and and soon a building project here. To have what
- 9:58Speaker 1: has always been a big check be even bigger, create
- 10:01Speaker 1: even more opportunity for this franchise to succeed financially. So
- 10:04Speaker 1: it's an important game this year. It is it's cool
- 10:06Speaker 1: to play out when you have a game production meetings
- 10:09Speaker 1: and and everything that goes into it, and it's crazy
- 10:11Speaker 1: to think how you can possibly do that from oceans
- 10:14Speaker 1: away and still make it work. Technology and what people
- 10:17Speaker 1: are talking about is that the logistical team of the
- 10:20Speaker 1: Jaguars that usually focuses on ta bankfield is doing a
- 10:24Speaker 1: lot of the logistics of that game. I think, as
- 10:27Speaker 1: you said, Brian, fans listen to this. I think at
- 10:30Speaker 1: the team on the field, but those people in this
- 10:33Speaker 1: event this year are doing a dramatic amount of more
- 10:36Speaker 1: work and it's important. And we, you know, being the
- 10:39Speaker 1: small market that we are and having the challenges that
- 10:41Speaker 1: we've had, people understand that this team needs to do
- 10:44Speaker 1: well at the box office to compete with those big
- 10:46Speaker 1: franchises in the big markets that make exponential more dollars
- 10:50Speaker 1: off things like naming rights. So this is an opportunity
- 10:52Speaker 1: for this franchise to eat up some of the distance
- 10:55Speaker 1: between them and the other franchises and to put cash
- 10:58Speaker 1: in the pocket that is used to pay fo big player. Right,
- 11:03Speaker 1: speaking of box office, the Jaguars are future focused and
- 11:06Speaker 1: ready for a new look in to join us at
- 11:09Speaker 1: the bank this season. As head coach Doug Peterson and
- 11:11Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence lead the charge to lock in your seats.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Visit Jaguars dot com. Slash tickets are called nine oh
- 11:17Speaker 1: four six three three two thousand. John Osier, you had
- 11:26Speaker 1: Luke Fortner on your ozone podcast. Do you tell how
- 11:29Speaker 1: did it go? I didn't. I think you guys have
- 11:32Speaker 1: seen enough or talked to him. Alon. I know you
- 11:34Speaker 1: did an interview with him, uh, right, for the draft.
- 11:38Speaker 1: He's a great interview. He's a fascinating kid. He has
- 11:44Speaker 1: two or three degrees. He has an undergrad engineering degree,
- 11:49Speaker 1: a master's in some sort of engineering that I don't
- 11:51Speaker 1: know what it means, aerospace. Uh. I was gonna ask
- 11:56Speaker 1: him what that meant, but I know it wouldn't understand,
- 11:58Speaker 1: so don't go there. And then he has an in
- 12:00Speaker 1: b A or is getting an NBA. So I actually
- 12:02Speaker 1: asked him at the top. I said, look, Luky, were
- 12:05Speaker 1: in college for six years and you've got nothing to
- 12:07Speaker 1: fall back. A waste of time? What and an intelligent kid?
- 12:14Speaker 1: H I He's the first draft pick that I had
- 12:17Speaker 1: talked to extensively at all. But I've I've been on
- 12:20Speaker 1: zoom interviews and in that world with all Um. They
- 12:25Speaker 1: all seem like guys that it made sense why they
- 12:29Speaker 1: drafted them in terms of their uh intelligence level, their
- 12:35Speaker 1: passion for football. I mean, this kid always has a
- 12:37Speaker 1: passion for football. I wouldn't be playing he he interned
- 12:41Speaker 1: at NASA. You know, he's got some opportunities that Brian,
- 12:45Speaker 1: you and I never had. So Um called, you know,
- 12:51Speaker 1: they called, and I missed the call so that it
- 12:54Speaker 1: was one of those it's a potential spam on it.
- 12:57Speaker 1: And I said, well, you know, but so it's clear
- 13:01Speaker 1: there's there was a trend with this draft class of
- 13:04Speaker 1: guys who can't who are high level intelligence, high level character.
- 13:10Speaker 1: It makes sense when you are building like they are
- 13:12Speaker 1: and trying to get the organization going in a direction.
- 13:16Speaker 1: To Doug Peterson, I like the kid, we'll see if
- 13:18Speaker 1: you can play. I was on the airplane coming back
- 13:20Speaker 1: from Vegas when they drafted him, so I didn't. I
- 13:22Speaker 1: wasn't part of that zoom call. Um for you to
- 13:26Speaker 1: say those things, right, the three degrees, the Nacy internship,
- 13:31Speaker 1: it makes me think this kid can win the shorting
- 13:33Speaker 1: job as a rookie. At some point. I'm gonna pullem
- 13:34Speaker 1: a side that what are you doing? He's taking the
- 13:38Speaker 1: capital is a hard game. You get hurt out there. Well,
- 13:42Speaker 1: I mean, if I if I'm thinking, let's see, Okay,
- 13:44Speaker 1: I have an m b A. I need the capital
- 13:47Speaker 1: to fund my own aerospace company. I'm gonna do you know, um,
- 13:50Speaker 1: what is what is Musk's? Uh? You lost me? Well,
- 13:56Speaker 1: I know, Tesla. What's the name of his the space
- 14:00Speaker 1: space Joe helps space X That Twitter is another one?
- 14:03Speaker 1: SpaceX right, gonna fund his own SpaceX? Doesn't he own Crypto?
- 14:07Speaker 1: He might own all of it, But but you get
- 14:09Speaker 1: the point. I mean, this is a guy who's gonna
- 14:10Speaker 1: gonna get the most out of football and then get
- 14:13Speaker 1: the most out of life. So good for him. And
- 14:14Speaker 1: you know you've got a new a new coach coming
- 14:16Speaker 1: in a new scheme. Tyler Shatley's obviously got an eight
- 14:20Speaker 1: year head start on him in terms of being a
- 14:21Speaker 1: professional football player. But I mean they drafted this kid
- 14:24Speaker 1: to start. If he's that smart, maybe he'll pick it
- 14:26Speaker 1: up quick. And I don't want to over emphasize. I
- 14:28Speaker 1: mean it's sort of an easy he has three degrees
- 14:31Speaker 1: to talk about that. So he he was drafted number
- 14:35Speaker 1: sixty five, overall, which is an interior alignment means you're
- 14:39Speaker 1: being drafted as a long term starter who's going to
- 14:42Speaker 1: be good and potential pro Bowl. I mean that's a
- 14:45Speaker 1: it's a premium position for that. And he's incredibly tough
- 14:50Speaker 1: kid and a lot of people have heard the story
- 14:52Speaker 1: against Florida. Kentucky beat Florida last year. Slant out if
- 14:56Speaker 1: remember that. Um he he he cut his eye and
- 15:02Speaker 1: played with stitches. And he tells the story during the podcast,
- 15:06Speaker 1: and he told him before of the first trainer came
- 15:09Speaker 1: out and looked at his eye after he had heard it,
- 15:14Speaker 1: and he said it was just a blurry. I figured
- 15:16Speaker 1: I had gotten poked in the eye. He said, the
- 15:19Speaker 1: trainer came out and oh, And he said the doctor
- 15:24Speaker 1: came out after that went oh, an he kind of
- 15:27Speaker 1: Joe Jeff said, you don't love hearing the trainer go.
- 15:31Speaker 1: You don't like those people being surprised at what they
- 15:34Speaker 1: see when they come out. But he was fine, he
- 15:35Speaker 1: had stitches. Anybody played through it. Point being he is
- 15:40Speaker 1: this is not a bookworm playing center. He's a tough
- 15:42Speaker 1: kid who belongs here and not looking forward to watch him. Yeah,
- 15:45Speaker 1: I was talking to Jeff Logman last week m during
- 15:47Speaker 1: Happy Hour, and he was saying how he foresees shot
- 15:50Speaker 1: Ly initially earning the job just because experience would win
- 15:53Speaker 1: in that situation, and possibly Fortner working his way, and
- 15:56Speaker 1: once Fortner's there, he's never coming back out. That's often
- 16:00Speaker 1: with non first round picks, with that second, third, fourth
- 16:02Speaker 1: round as rookies, particularly in a position is important as center.
- 16:07Speaker 1: You want to make sure that that that player aggrass
- 16:11Speaker 1: the offense and isn't hurting others around him when he
- 16:14Speaker 1: first gets into lineup. Uh. But he did a lot.
- 16:18Speaker 1: He didn't really brag on himself during the podcast, which
- 16:22Speaker 1: is fine, but you could tell in his conversations he
- 16:26Speaker 1: did a lot of calling the offense at Kentucky, being
- 16:30Speaker 1: able to see the blitz is and helping the quarterback.
- 16:33Speaker 1: That's the responsibility of the center. Supposedly he's off the
- 16:36Speaker 1: charts good at that. I expected to make up ground
- 16:38Speaker 1: in that area really quickly. And I think I've said this,
- 16:40Speaker 1: but I talked to a guy, a scout who told
- 16:43Speaker 1: me that Kentucky's blocking scheme was very complex. So if
- 16:47Speaker 1: he was that quarterback and was calling that stuff out,
- 16:50Speaker 1: it gives them that leg up again. To be able
- 16:52Speaker 1: to pick this up and go. I mean, it sounds
- 16:54Speaker 1: like the kid's going to be what they think he is,
- 16:56Speaker 1: which is a long term starter at center. I didn't
- 16:58Speaker 1: ask him this. I'm sure he would have said, well,
- 17:00Speaker 1: I was there six years. I probably, But he's a
- 17:05Speaker 1: funny I mean it was when you see interviews with him.
- 17:09Speaker 1: People should pay attention because he's an engaging character and
- 17:13Speaker 1: not all rookies are comfortable in that situation. It's fun
- 17:16Speaker 1: to talk to him, and it's worth pointing out. You
- 17:18Speaker 1: mentioned he was picked. You know, Brad Meester was picked
- 17:21Speaker 1: in two thousand at the at the end of the
- 17:23Speaker 1: second round, so somewhere in that range. And forget exactly
- 17:26Speaker 1: Um and Brandon Linder. You know, you're looking at the
- 17:29Speaker 1: last two guys who played center. He was like nine three, right,
- 17:33Speaker 1: This is where you find high quality, long term interior
- 17:38Speaker 1: offensive lineman. A very boring Brad Meester story when he
- 17:42Speaker 1: was first picked. That was my last draft covering the
- 17:45Speaker 1: Jaguars for the TU before I left for Indy, and uh,
- 17:48Speaker 1: I asked Tom Coughlin if he could talk about the
- 17:50Speaker 1: second round pick moosed and Tom looked at me like
- 17:54Speaker 1: I was from at idea. Yeah and that pause. Oh
- 17:58Speaker 1: so I first called Red Mester moost what happens to
- 18:02Speaker 1: the best of us, and it happens to me and
- 18:05Speaker 1: all people. Brad would have laughed about it. Great guy.
- 18:08Speaker 1: A couple more minutes for you on the Jaguars Reporters podcast.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Like we said, the schedule release is this Thursday. Always
- 18:14Speaker 1: exciting to write it in your planner and different colored pens.
- 18:18Speaker 1: That's what I look forward to and get to plan
- 18:20Speaker 1: this season. Like we said, the home scheduled Cowboys, Ravens, Giants,
- 18:24Speaker 1: along with the Division, of course, which of those games
- 18:26Speaker 1: stands out to you? Guys? Wait a minute, don't go
- 18:28Speaker 1: back to the planner. Actually write the teams in different
- 18:32Speaker 1: colored panting planner. The time you have for these things.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I like to be organized, and I like to have
- 18:39Speaker 1: it as a hard copy, a calendar on color per team.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Do I have a pen pack that has sixteen colors?
- 18:47Speaker 1: So I have a color. She's a soft day. She's
- 18:51Speaker 1: a soft type of personality. She's not that hard if
- 18:55Speaker 1: I don't have that when I use my blue So
- 18:56Speaker 1: answer her question. She's getting frustrated with my excited that
- 18:59Speaker 1: any No, you're not excited? What game of those home
- 19:02Speaker 1: schedules stands out, probably Dallas because they haven't been here
- 19:06Speaker 1: in forever, and that's always an exciting game. It's so
- 19:10Speaker 1: hard to get worked up about the schedule this story
- 19:12Speaker 1: because you don't know when the games are gonna be.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I'm gonna be healthy. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing
- 19:19Speaker 1: you know, it would be fun if a Dallas came
- 19:23Speaker 1: in here in November was something to play for. Uh,
- 19:26Speaker 1: you know, revenge isn't really a big thing in the NFL.
- 19:31Speaker 1: The main thing I remember at the Cowboys in the
- 19:33Speaker 1: last X number of years was that that was the
- 19:36Speaker 1: game out there in two thousand and eighteen when you
- 19:39Speaker 1: knew what they had built was in a lot of
- 19:41Speaker 1: trouble things because they got rolled forty day. They had
- 19:46Speaker 1: lost to Kansas City the week before, and you thought, okay,
- 19:48Speaker 1: well maybe that was a little bit rebound here of
- 19:50Speaker 1: a rebound, and they came out and getting against Dallas
- 19:54Speaker 1: and they couldn't compete, and you went, something's wrong here.
- 19:58Speaker 1: So there's probably five players left who are on that team,
- 20:03Speaker 1: so that won't affect anything that's remember about the Cowboys.
- 20:06Speaker 1: But when Dallas comes to town, I'm always a big
- 20:10Speaker 1: believer that the home team is what matters in an
- 20:14Speaker 1: NFL stadium. That's why I would go to games, But
- 20:17Speaker 1: there are fans who like to see the opponent give
- 20:19Speaker 1: it the energy. When Dallas comes to town, it'll be
- 20:22Speaker 1: it's one of those games you'll remember. There'll be a
- 20:24Speaker 1: lot of Cowboys fans here, a lot. Um. I'm looking
- 20:27Speaker 1: forward the Ravens game. Uh. And and not just because
- 20:30Speaker 1: it's you know, Lamar Jackson, who's a premier quarterback. They
- 20:34Speaker 1: draft really well. I mean, they've got a really good
- 20:36Speaker 1: roster and when the Jaguars last were on the field
- 20:39Speaker 1: with them in season, it was ugly. Um. So we'll
- 20:44Speaker 1: see how much they've they've grown, how much better they've
- 20:47Speaker 1: gotten from the end of I think was the December
- 20:51Speaker 1: game two. Whenever they're here this year, um, and the
- 20:54Speaker 1: Ravens are one of those broometer teams in the a
- 20:56Speaker 1: f C. I know we're all focused on the West
- 20:57Speaker 1: this year, but they have a quarterback who is incredibly
- 21:03Speaker 1: challenging to match up with. They've got always seemingly john
- 21:07Speaker 1: as good an offensive line as you find in the NFL.
- 21:09Speaker 1: And then that Ravens defense has just been their personality
- 21:13Speaker 1: since those great Ravens teams twenty years ago, you know,
- 21:16Speaker 1: excited about the Ravens game boy. I have it written
- 21:19Speaker 1: in my planner in Tope Tope. I am wired for
- 21:23Speaker 1: that because he has a purple pen and a tope
- 21:25Speaker 1: pen because he needs options. That's enough with the planet talk.
- 21:29Speaker 1: We're over it. Well we should just point out that
- 21:31Speaker 1: you are somebody, and it's it's interesting someone who is
- 21:34Speaker 1: in her middle late twenties, um who writes things out.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I mean, I write things out in my in My
- 21:41Speaker 1: son say to me, Dad, yea, you don't use dictation,
- 21:46Speaker 1: just you know, put it in the notes and go. No.
- 21:48Speaker 1: I like to write things out. John writes things out.
- 21:51Speaker 1: You write things out. You just do a little line
- 21:56Speaker 1: and her voice. You have a little glitter that you
- 21:58Speaker 1: sprinkle on just to kind of for big weeks. Yeah,
- 22:01Speaker 1: like the London game will will have some glitter tims
- 22:03Speaker 1: to its. Really, it was the deal with white crayons.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I never got that. Oh you used it on like
- 22:08Speaker 1: green or purple paper to color your Game of Thrones coloring.
- 22:12Speaker 1: But I don't know what you're talking about. There's a
- 22:14Speaker 1: lot of snow a white crayon I never got. Okay,
- 22:20Speaker 1: the look she's giving you right now. It's too bad
- 22:23Speaker 1: that this podcast is not on any visual medium because
- 22:27Speaker 1: the look Shelan has a healthy dislike with me. I
- 22:29Speaker 1: just think Sherry would really I would really understand, she'd
- 22:33Speaker 1: appreciate that look, and she'd try to mimic it would
- 22:35Speaker 1: relate to. And that is the Jaguars Reporters podcast schedule.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Lease this Thursday, Rookie mini camp this weekend. Lots going on.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Stay with us on Jaguars dot com and we'll get
- 22:45Speaker 1: back to you next Monday.
