• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to my left, Um, Bucky Brooks's way out to our
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: left on the West Coast. Hi, Bucky, what's up? Nothing?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm really excited. You know, it's my favorite time
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of year. There's nothing I love more than Ricky Minicamp
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Rookie Minicamp is what every scout looks forward to. It
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is a culmination of all the hard work. You now
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: pick the guys that you want to pick, and you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: get us see them on the field for the first time.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It's almost like unwrapping the Christmas gifts. Well, they can
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: have my spot JP the Scouts. If there's a chair
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that they want that I'm sitting in at Rookie Minicamp,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the Scouts can have it because because it's right up
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: your alley, you're not gonna be there, you're busy doing
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: other things. I'll be there, and I like Rookie Minicamp. Uh.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that I don't like Rookie Minicamp, but
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I appreciate Rookie Minicamp for exactly what Bucky says. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: would ask him about this because it's always fascinated me
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: with Rookie Minicamp. I'm fine with because you do see
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the rookies, you get your first eyes on him, you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: sort of see them physically or the impressive. Uh. The
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: one thing it's always stuck out about Rookie Minicamp to me.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I've been told this by multiple people over the years.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You really can't tell if a guy is good there,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: but Bucky, I've always been told what you don't want
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: as a scout is to be walking off the field
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that day, that first day and go, uh, this guy
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: didn't fit. You know, sometimes you can tell when they're
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be there, and every once in a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: while once slips through the cracks and gets there. Have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you had that experience and am I accurate on that?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You absolutely are accurate. The number one thing that you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: want when you're a scout is when you try your
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: high profile rookies out there, they at least look the part,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: so like size wise, strength wise, and those things they
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: look like they belonged on to feel, and then what
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you would like for them to do very early in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the deal. You want them to flash some of the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: talent that made you feel so strongly about them as prospect,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: whether it's making a play on the ball, whether it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: flash and some physicality and toughness, seeing some speed and explosiveness.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You want them to show something where can you can
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: look to your colleagues and no hare to be like yep,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that's what I liked about. However, there have been times
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: where I've been on the field and day one you know, oh,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: we might have messed this one up. And you can
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: hope and wish that they'll change and hoping wish that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: they'll improve. But a lot of times that first impression,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that first impression is a real one, and it's one
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: this deadly stars if it doesn't go the way that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you want. And that's really it speaks to the as
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: scientific as you get and as much research as you get,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it's a projection business, and you're trying to lower your
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: percentages of risk. You're trying to raise your percentage of hitting.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But nobody bats a thousand or sense. Sometimes you just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: get a guy in and you just know it's like
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the biggest fear that you have as a scout is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that the guy that you're going all in on, the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: guy that you have sold to your coaches and your
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: fellow scouts, that hey, he's going to be the one
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that changes the ports of the franchise, he is going
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to be the one to help us go to the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: next level. And you see him and you just like, yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: this doesn't look good, and you can kind of hope
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and say, well, maybe with some development, maybe with some
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: time as it gets comfortable, he would be a better
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: playing contributor. But a lot of times, man, those those
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: impressions that are the first ones, those snap judgment, a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: lot of times they end up being the right one.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And that's just against other rookies on the field or
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: first year players. Those are the only players that are
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: out there usually. And there was some years ago they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: used to have some tryout players would come in and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: they'd run eleven on eleven. That kind of ended after
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the Dante Fowler situation when they had an eleven on
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: eleven period and he went down first practice rookie minicamp.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So this time around, there'll be some team plays on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: one of the days, some seven on seven each day,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: ten or fifteen plays. But that's really about the extent
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of anything close to live football, not live football, mostly drills.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Getting guys acclimated is what this is about. John. Yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: keep that to a minimum. I mean I as a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you can't have contact anyway, so there is a minium.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: But keep that safe. Uh. I've become more and more
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of a believer since the Dante Fowler incident, since more
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and more teams have gone this way. These guys trained
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: for the combine and they're not doing football things for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: four or five months. H how much do you really
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: gain from putting a guy in any sort of a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: risky situation on May eight that he's going to be
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: benefiting during training camp, get him the information that they
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: need to be able to be ready and compete and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I and most importantly not getting the veterans way during
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: O T A s. But don't risk them in terms
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of injury. But I don't know if you feel the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: same way. Now I feel the exact same way, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I think, um, John, you you bring up a point
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that is one that is very valid. A lot of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: these guys have just been training for the combine and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: private workout, and what they haven't done is they haven't
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: put themselves in a position to get ready to play
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: football from a stamina and conditioning standpoint. From building your
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: body up to make some of the cuts and moves
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and some of the things that are required to play
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the game of football, you're not ready to do it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: As So what some teams have done, wisely is they've
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: made this uh kind of like an assessment period. Let's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: sussess where the players are, Let's give them some base
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: level conditioning things to kind of get them going. Let's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: maybe go through individual and walk through team portions of practice.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But let's not put them in harm's way. Let's not
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: make them compete before they're physically ready to be able
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to compete. The Jaguars also announced the other media sessions
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: for the offseason program, one open practice for media each week. John,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I know you were kind of really eyeball and this
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: schedule and what was gonna come out of it the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: next few weeks, because we know what you want your
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: schedule to look like. Yeah, this is one too many,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: but it's now I care about it, and now exaggerate.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I think this is the right way to do it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: One open practice during the O t a S a week,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and then three during the minicamp. It gives you six Uh,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: this is fine. Uh there'll be access to the media
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: those days, so uh the getting to know you period,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: which really what this time is for the public and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the media. Uh, you don't. I don't think the media
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: or the fans learn very much during O t a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: S about how the team's actually gonna look. But there's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of value for players who want to be
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: here in terms of learning the offense, especially in a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: new regime, learning new schemes, this learning process is very
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: important for them and for the meeting people following the teams.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It's fine, it's some conversation for a month, and this
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: kind of schedule allows it to be on them, not
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Cannay front burner, but on a burner in terms of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the fans being able to see it. Bucky, I know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I know you'll be cutting the team after mini camp
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: because this is vitally important and you can really tell
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: what they're doing by running around and not competing. So Bucky,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I know you'll be here every day. If he loves
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: rookie Mini Camp, he's really gonna love o t s
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: in the in the in the veteran mini camp. Oh
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: well there. It just helps me be able to play
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: my schedule because before I was like, am I going
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to have to camp out in Jacksonville for three weeks
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to see what I want to see from the Jaguars?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Am I going to be able to assess the young guys,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the old guys, the new staff, what they're putting together,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: what they can cock me, unveiled and unleash on the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: league when we have a chance to see them kind
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of perform in preseason, then in the regular season. But
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: now Uh, it's made it easier because I only can
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: go once a week, but I will see this. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: think access is important. I do believe that you can
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: gleam some things, uh just early parts of the depth chart,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: seeing how guys are rotating in um being able to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: take some of the messaging that you heard from the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: coaches the coordinators about how they their their long term
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: vision for how the team is going to come together,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: maybe schematically, to be able to see some of those
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: things play out on the field. I would like to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: have access to be able to see that selfishly. But
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: if we're only going to get a day, we're gonna
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: see the very generic forms of what the team is doing,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and we'll have to kind of connect the dot and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: kind of speculate what's going to happen until we really
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: get around the team and training game. Yeah, it's important
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: for the reasons Bucky sites is as much as that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: kid about it. I'll reiterate for a new coaching staff
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: with young layers, this time is really important because you
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that they know the schemes so
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that during the very crucial times of training camp that
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: there's not guys out there during training camp who are
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: learning and trying to catch up. You want them to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: know it by August what is it six? When the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: pads go on. You don't want the guys at that
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: point wondering, uh are you supposed to be blitzing on
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: this play? Thinking out there. So on that front is
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: very important. I just you know your face something. This
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is a podcast. People can't because they can see you're
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: drawing from it. It is always what I love. Oh
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: this guy is going to start out even remember it
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: on August ten. There will be a lot of that
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: on social media and people trying to assume things. No,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I see now you guys are being negative. Nancy's over
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: there because I believe you can't believe things when jo
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you put your report down that a such as such
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: completed twenty one of twenty five passes and seven on
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: seven and team period, and you know they're really pushing
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for the QB two spot because we're tracking every three,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: we're looking at one on ones and determining who's the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: winner and the loser and passion. You can't compete, there's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: not allowed. If they rust year two practices for competing,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you can't do that. You can't compete. But I know.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I know, ex player guy thinks you're going to compete.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You can't compete during O t A s. It's illegal,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: breaking the law. Breaking the law. You can compete against
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: your fellow wive receivers. You can put your wide receiver
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: at dB and run some rouse against those guys. Some
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of those things can be fairly competitive. Alright. I understand
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: understand that we are we're in. I understand that we're
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: under punishment, but way to get some of their work
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: in the need to see from those up to Hey, guys,

  Speaker 1: thoughts on the regular season schedule after this. Welcome back
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to the Huddle Up Podcast. J P Shadrick, Bucky Brooks,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: John Osan and the Dailies play schedule moving along and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: eight the Lumineers back to back nights sting May twenty,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Chicago May, and then June four. This is the Jacksonville
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Taco and Margarita Festival. Tickets and information at Daily's Place
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: dot com. All right, clear, all right, we're gonna have
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: some thoughts on the schedule right now. Yes, correct, I
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is. That's what I'm saying. That's
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the whole point, because you in the past, John and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Bucky correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe you'll remember this.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Your perfect schedule, John, is one o'clock Sunday, all seventeen
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: games because it's all about you and your preparation and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: writing after the game schedule, and preferably noon games. We
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: can't have noon starts, so seventeen or yes, seventeen now
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: one o'clock home games. Uh. And I'm fine really with
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: having the early playoff games until the Super Bowl, which
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: will be as well. I mean he almost got that
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I remember it was like
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: there was one Thursday night and everything else was one o'clock.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Now I would I would take if the Jaguars are good, Uh,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: they will get more primetime games. I will take the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: prime time games if the trade off is having them
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: be good. Uh, in a minute, I would take that,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: but no, four o'clock. Well, they're never gonna get them
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: if they're not good though. Ever, well, there's gonna be
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: at least one West Coast. Yeah, this would be interesting
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: because I think let's look at it from a few
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: different vantage points. From a coaching standpoint, Uh, there are
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: three different things that you're looking for um in the schedule.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: The first thing you want to know is um like,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: who are the heavyweights on the schedule? Who are the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: teams that we're matching up with that are kind of
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: like the measuring stick games, the games where we can
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: see how good we are and how far we need
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to go to be the team that we want to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: be at the end of the season. You didn't want
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to make sure that you're looking at the schedule to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: see what are we playing up division games? The NFL
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: has done a good job of putting those games at
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the back end of the schedule, but you just kind
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: of want to see are they in order? Are there
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: any of those we your situations and circumstances where we're
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: playing the same team twice in a three week period,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: or are we playing on a on a short week
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: where maybe we have a Sunday game and a Thursday
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: game that we turn around and have a Saturday game
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: due to high falls on the calendar. So you want
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to get those things, and then you really want to
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: know how are you going to finish down the stretch.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Teams want to be playing their best ball uh November
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: in December because that gives you a little momentum held
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: into January. And so if you're a good team, you
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: want to kind of ramp it up after the bye week.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: From a players standpoint, the number one thing that you're
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: looking at when is the bottom and is it position
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: right in the middle of the schedule or is it
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: early or is it late? Because that determines kind of
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: how I want to ramp up your your your body
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: maintenance in terms of, Okay, how do I need to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: build it up. Do I need to kind of set
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: up playing in order with my physical therapist, uh my
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: mansuss all this other stuff in terms of how am
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I going to be building heading down the stretch. But
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I need to take extra precautions to make sure I'm
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: at my best when it matters. And then the final
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: thing is like, who are we kicking off this season
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: with because no matter what these players say, everyone gets
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: excited Week one, everyone is undefeated and we all know that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Well minimum is built in the early part of the season.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: If you can get out to a fast start, it
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: really ups your odd I believe your playoff too. It's true.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: It's all true. And you know the Jaguars game in
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: London already has been announced the Broncos October. Usually most
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: years there's the by right after that. There was one
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: exception of a couple of years ago the Jags played
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: in New York. So we'll see what the league comes
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: up with this year. My expression is Dubai is not
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: automatically after London this year. I don't know if that's
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: set in stone, but I heard that somewhere that's not
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: necessarily the case. There have been times I believe that
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's still the case. There was a time with the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Jags where if a team wanted to buy after the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: international game, they would almost always get it. If I'm
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: remember in that right. Uh. I don't know if that's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: still the case now. There's so many games now it's
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: kind of tough to get everybody that, it seems. Uh.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I've always thought that's fair if a team wants to buy.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: But in talking to the players in seventeen and in
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: talking to the coaches, it really wasn't especially for the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Jags who had done London, UH multiple times, it really
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't that big a deal. It wasn't that big a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: deal to play the next week. And with the reason
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they didn't want it that you remember they played the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Ravens I think week three and it was so real
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: that they didn't want to buy that early. So UH,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I prefer a very late season by a JP. But
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: they don't ask me. They'll tell you Thursday at eight
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: o'clock is what's going to happen. Then that's when the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: NFL Network announcement is. Um. Of course Thanksgiving games you
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: know the Lions and Cowboys will host. They haven't announced
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the night game yet. Christmas will be the same schedule
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: timing or three games. They've announced the Broncos at Rams
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Day at four thirty, the middle game of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that trio. Most every other game will be on Saturday
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that week, and then uh, they've announced the Cowboys at
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Packers Mike McCarthy goes back to Lambeau. That's week ten November. Uh,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: they've announced all the week two or the big games
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Thursday night and the two Monday night games in week two.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: So they're trickling this announcement out. The big announcement with
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: everything comes Thursday night on NFL Network. And Bucky are
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: you privy? Do you have some inside info? Do you
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: have intel? Do you have any behind the scenes access
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to just go to Bucky Weeks the schedule dot com. Yeah,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you have like a burner account. I wish that I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: had a burner account. I am not working on the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: schedule release show, but I'm working on the pre schedule
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: release show. And so if I do get any insider information,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: JP and John, you know, I'll text you guys, and
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I'll let you guys break break the news. So I
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: don't get in trouble out here. I don't So I
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: don't know. You know, I don't know what you're talking about. John, Mike,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: But but, but but I am curious, Like I know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: right now we worry about the Jaguars in terms of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: John wants all one o'clock games. But I will say
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: from a player perspective, like there is nothing like playing
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a prime time game when the football world is watching.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And so Monday night, Thursday night Sunday night game certainly
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: is one that kind of excites the locker room because
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: everyone knows that all odds are on the squad and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: so we'll see if the Jaguars somehow get a game.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: It'll be nice to see a primetime game. Objective the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: team uh evolves into being a really good I think
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: they'll get a Thursday game this year. They didn't get
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: any Sunday or Monday last year. Well, they haven't had
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a Monday night football game since, so think about that
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: for a while. That's that's a long time Sunday night
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I think is a year longer than that, even an
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: actual Sunday night football And they had one schedule against
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, remember, and then they that's right, they got
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: flexed out. Yeah, they they got flexed out because they
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: didn't uh you know. So I believe this year just
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: putting you know, the pieces together. Trevor Lawrence was rookie
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: last year with a lot of hype and yet Urban
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Meyer and they got a Thursday night game. I would
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: be surprised coming up three and fourteen season if they
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: get more than that this year. And there'll be people
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: who complain, Uh, it's not fair. Earn it. If you're
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: good and you have Trevor Lawrence, you're going to earn
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: your way on to prime time. I don't expect him
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to have it this year because historically they haven't. Uh
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that's something they can control, alright, so go control. Well,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: we'll look forward to the announcement Thursday night. Bucky, you're
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: gonna have the pre show in NFL Network. I will
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: have the pre show. I'll be on Total Actives right
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: before the schedule release show kicks off. I think that
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: is eight o'clock promptis in primes. I'm on the East coast,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: five o'clock out here for the West coast followers. Yeah,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: so this isn't really schedule related, but I it is schedulated.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: It's about who they're playing the home. The home schedule
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: has a chance this year to be tough. Yeah, if
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you look at I mean the West just coming in here,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Dallas comes in, I believe Denver comes in, the Raiders
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: come in and uh four or five, and the Ravens,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, and the Ravens didn't make the playoffs,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and the Colts didn't make the playoffs. Teams are coming in. Well,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: would it surprise anybody if those two teams are two
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of the best teams. Uh, Denver is the only out
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: of conference and and they're going to be in London,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: but at Denver is the only out of division that
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: was in a real contending team last year name of
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. So it's, uh, you know, a buckle up
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and if if they're gonna be better, they're gonna have
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to earn it. It's the NFL. It's tough. It's tough
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: mostly around here most every week. Yes, and look, man,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and the words of Rick Blair, if you're gonna be
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the man, you gotta beat them at some point. The Jaguars,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: if they're gonna be a team that we talked about
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: celebrating as a playoff contending those things, they have to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: knock off some of those teams to have um great
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback and great squads. And so last year we happen
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to see the team knock off the Buffalo Bills. Somehow,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: some way they were able to do it. And so
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: maybe they can kind of dig and in the bag
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and put out a couple tricks and find a way
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to get it done this year. But we'll know, you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: because we won't really know what we have until we
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: start looking at all these guys a rookie minicamps running
• 22:53
