- 0:54Speaker 1: end of the off season program. Where do the Jaguars
- 0:58Speaker 1: stand in mid June? Will break it all down. Charlie
- 1:01Speaker 1: Strong and Anthony Schlegel. Charlie Strong the assistant head coach
- 1:05Speaker 1: and inside linebackers coach. We caught up after practice what
- 1:09Speaker 1: was that Wednesday? And then Anthony Schlegel is the head
- 1:12Speaker 1: strength and conditioning coach and you better strap in and
- 1:15Speaker 1: hang on for that interview. It is quite energetic. We'll
- 1:19Speaker 1: go around the National Football League as well, including the
- 1:22Speaker 1: Chicago Bears looking at Land. M hmm. That's all coming
- 1:28Speaker 1: up a little bit later. Log's good afternoon. Good afternoon.
- 1:32Speaker 1: The off season programs over, my friend. Yeah. The the
- 1:35Speaker 1: original intention for the veteran minicamp was to have three
- 1:39Speaker 1: days of camp, which is typical right Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
- 1:44Speaker 1: But the players got a little well, I guess you
- 1:47Speaker 1: could say it was a big bone, and that they
- 1:50Speaker 1: got the third day, which was Wednesday off, which uh
- 1:53Speaker 1: gets kind of this year kind of that's kind of
- 1:56Speaker 1: the thing to do. I guess around the National Football League,
- 1:58Speaker 1: some teams aren't even had they just canceled the whole thing. Yeah,
- 2:01Speaker 1: many camp because of the some of the pushback from
- 2:04Speaker 1: the union about participation in the in the voluntary aspect
- 2:08Speaker 1: of the off season, and so some of that pushback
- 2:11Speaker 1: led to some coaches cutting out portions of the O
- 2:15Speaker 1: t A schedule as well as the mini camp or
- 2:18Speaker 1: modifying the mini camp schedule. So h so Urban gave
- 2:22Speaker 1: him Wednesday off the third day of the mini camp,
- 2:24Speaker 1: and I'm sure many veterans were very happy. But the
- 2:26Speaker 1: rookies on the other hand, they don't get that. Get
- 2:31Speaker 1: out there, guys, you get another Yeah, rookies, the rookie.
- 2:35Speaker 1: The veterans are off now and the coaches will soon
- 2:39Speaker 1: be off tomorrow and that. But the rookies stay here
- 2:43Speaker 1: with Schlegel strength and conditioning staff, etcetera. Until I think
- 2:47Speaker 1: the first couple of days of July, and then from
- 2:49Speaker 1: that point on then they're off for a short period
- 2:52Speaker 1: of time before they report somewhere around it's about a
- 2:55Speaker 1: week before everybody else in the quarterbacks week before the
- 3:00Speaker 1: report that. So there you go. So it's all over now,
- 3:04Speaker 1: and there are a lot of eyeballs this week on
- 3:07Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, of course, Jaguars quarterback and that hamstring. Let's
- 3:11Speaker 1: hear from Urban Meyer, Jaguar's head coach. He said, they
- 3:14Speaker 1: were just being cautious. If we had to go, we
- 3:18Speaker 1: could have went there being our trainers and and Shoddy
- 3:21Speaker 1: are being a little cautious because right now when you're
- 3:23Speaker 1: a month out hamstrings, you yank a hamstring, now you're
- 3:26Speaker 1: gonna miss early part of training camp. So we're just
- 3:29Speaker 1: being cautious. That's that one muscle that you know, you
- 3:32Speaker 1: guys have all seen it like I have you pull them.
- 3:34Speaker 1: You pull a hamstring at this point, um, you're gonna
- 3:37Speaker 1: miss all your summer conditioning. So we were being somewhat
- 3:40Speaker 1: conservative on it. But he actually could play a game
- 3:42Speaker 1: if he had to. Well, that was on Monday from
- 3:45Speaker 1: head coach Avid Meyer and then logs. Tuesday's practice happened
- 3:49Speaker 1: and it looked to me like the hamstring was doing
- 3:52Speaker 1: just fine. Trevor Lawrence put together a fantastic performance at
- 3:56Speaker 1: least in my view that yeah, he had a good
- 3:58Speaker 1: practice and he actually participated it in practice, which many
- 4:01Speaker 1: people thought that, Okay, he's gonna be on the shelf
- 4:03Speaker 1: for the remainder of Mini Camp, and he was to
- 4:05Speaker 1: some extent on Monday, but then on Tuesday he was
- 4:09Speaker 1: inserted into into some of the drills and I don't
- 4:11Speaker 1: think he got the normal number of reps that he
- 4:13Speaker 1: would typically get. And they also had I'm trying to
- 4:18Speaker 1: think of the name and Joe. Maybe you can also
- 4:20Speaker 1: think on this, which professional athlete used to wear one sleeve? Oh?
- 4:26Speaker 1: Allen Iverson? Iverson? Okay, Iverson always wore like one sleeve
- 4:30Speaker 1: right or Okay, well Trevor was wearing one leg one
- 4:37Speaker 1: tight Okay, So It's kind of that Alice Allen Iverson
- 4:41Speaker 1: thing with the leg because of the hamstring, so they
- 4:43Speaker 1: had like a compression leg thing going on there. I
- 4:46Speaker 1: guess that's what it was, Okay, And yeah, so I
- 4:50Speaker 1: will tell you this, I never pulled a hamstring and
- 4:54Speaker 1: ten years of professional football never How is that? I mean,
- 4:58Speaker 1: I don't know, I never did. I I did a
- 5:00Speaker 1: couple of years ago when I was chasing some wildlife
- 5:05Speaker 1: and I can I'll tell you this, what what Urban
- 5:08Speaker 1: is saying about a hamstring is dead on. And that
- 5:13Speaker 1: that's and I've had injuries post playing career, many of me.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I mean you've seen me. I've I've had surgeries and
- 5:20Speaker 1: by far the hamstring pole which I did, and I
- 5:23Speaker 1: think like three or four years ago, I still still
- 5:27Speaker 1: feel the effects of that hamstring poll. And so when
- 5:32Speaker 1: you when you say that, oh, you know, why what
- 5:34Speaker 1: were you worried about being cautious forms I'm just telling you,
- 5:38Speaker 1: unless you've had a hamstring, you have no idea how
- 5:42Speaker 1: serious of an injury that that can actually be. I mean,
- 5:45Speaker 1: it is no joke. And I've talked to guys or
- 5:47Speaker 1: teammates that had hamstrings. You know, we used to grow
- 5:50Speaker 1: frustrated with guys that had hamstrings because it was you
- 5:54Speaker 1: don't see the black and blue a lot of times
- 5:56Speaker 1: with a hamstring, you know, whereas you know, broken arm,
- 5:59Speaker 1: I can see that your arm is going at a
- 6:00Speaker 1: direction that it shouldn't go. Look out of place. Yeah
- 6:03Speaker 1: you're hurt. Well the hamstring is like, dude, your hamstring
- 6:06Speaker 1: looks fine, come on, let's go so but yeah, it's
- 6:09Speaker 1: smart to be cautious with a hamstring. I'll say this
- 6:12Speaker 1: the you know. And and Brian Schottenheimer after practice the
- 6:17Speaker 1: other day said, oh, we're not ready to name the
- 6:19Speaker 1: starter and all that. Yeah, there's still the preseason. We
- 6:22Speaker 1: kind of get an idea. I think what's going to happen.
- 6:24Speaker 1: But come on, here's what I'll say. Tuesday, Gardner Mintschew
- 6:30Speaker 1: had a series or so where it's like they had
- 6:33Speaker 1: some plays locked in. They had this throwback pass thing
- 6:36Speaker 1: and it was running off the field all confident. JP.
- 6:39Speaker 1: You're not supposed to talk about specific place. What happened
- 6:43Speaker 1: after though, Trevor Lawrence, can we mute that part? Trevor
- 6:46Speaker 1: Lawrence came on the field and was like, you know what,
- 6:49Speaker 1: here here we go. It was the seam throw and
- 6:52Speaker 1: then the one back right corner right on the money,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and then through traffic on the left side, and he
- 6:57Speaker 1: showed you in that moment he flexed. I think just
- 7:00Speaker 1: a little bit, this is what it's going to look like.
- 7:02Speaker 1: He's good. I mean, there's no no question about it.
- 7:05Speaker 1: There's still some FROs that he can still do better.
- 7:08Speaker 1: But I think the one thing that impresses me and
- 7:11Speaker 1: and most people don't even think about it, is that
- 7:14Speaker 1: on some of the easy completions that he has, the
- 7:16Speaker 1: ball placement is always where it needs to be for
- 7:18Speaker 1: the receiver to continue at full speed and without interrupting
- 7:22Speaker 1: their body language to make the catch. And so the
- 7:26Speaker 1: easy is really easy for a receiver the way he
- 7:30Speaker 1: throws the football, and those are some things that you know,
- 7:32Speaker 1: a lot of people may not notice. I mean they notice, okay, man,
- 7:35Speaker 1: what a great faithe throw in the back corner of
- 7:37Speaker 1: the ends, like you're talking about JP, and oh man,
- 7:40Speaker 1: what a great go route that he threw and he
- 7:42Speaker 1: dropped it in the bucket. It was right on the money.
- 7:44Speaker 1: What about the throws that are just the routine throws
- 7:46Speaker 1: and just the the completion percentage throws that he's hitting
- 7:50Speaker 1: and he's hitting him perfect to where Okay, Now all
- 7:53Speaker 1: of a sudden, the yards after catch start to add
- 7:56Speaker 1: up because the accuracy of the quarterback on some of
- 7:59Speaker 1: these shorter throws is dead all the money. And that's
- 8:01Speaker 1: the part I think that impresses me the most about
- 8:04Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is that the routine things look routine. Let's
- 8:08Speaker 1: hear from offensive coordinator Daryl Bevel on where this offense is.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Where do they stand at the end of the offseason program.
- 8:16Speaker 1: You know, it's important for us to expose our guys
- 8:19Speaker 1: at this point in time to to really all our
- 8:21Speaker 1: all our verbiage, all our terminology, all the situational ball
- 8:24Speaker 1: that we that we need to get to. So they've
- 8:26Speaker 1: been exposed to everything. Um and you know, at least
- 8:29Speaker 1: one time, you know, nothing is There's some things that
- 8:31Speaker 1: have been in depth, not everything. Uh. Kind of just
- 8:34Speaker 1: excited about the progress where they're at. UM. I would say,
- 8:37Speaker 1: you know, learning learning a new language is not easy,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and there's different guys at at varying points at this
- 8:43Speaker 1: at this time, but I really like where they're at
- 8:45Speaker 1: going into this offseason. Uh. They you know, I think
- 8:47Speaker 1: it's important that they don't put their book away while
- 8:50Speaker 1: they're gone these next four or five weeks, so that
- 8:52Speaker 1: when we get back that we'll be able to kind
- 8:54Speaker 1: of pick up where we are right now. Don't put
- 8:56Speaker 1: that book away, Logs. We'll look at it every once
- 8:59Speaker 1: in a while. The reality is is that if if
- 9:02Speaker 1: you put the book away and you don't make progress
- 9:06Speaker 1: while not being here, then you won't be here. It's
- 9:10Speaker 1: as simple as that. I mean, that's that's how it works.
- 9:13Speaker 1: I mean, this is a job, it's not a it's
- 9:15Speaker 1: not a college anymore to where you're on scholarship and
- 9:18Speaker 1: you just show up and you've got a place. And
- 9:20Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest adjustment for a lot of
- 9:23Speaker 1: rookies is that they have to realize that and that
- 9:26Speaker 1: even though okay, coach and I were good. You know,
- 9:29Speaker 1: we're friends and we're buddies. He likes me, he may
- 9:34Speaker 1: like you. But if there's another guy that's gonna stay
- 9:39Speaker 1: in the book, that's gonna do the things that you're
- 9:41Speaker 1: not gonna do, your rare ends out of there. Simple fact.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's whoever the old laws of
- 9:49Speaker 1: the jungle, you know, the rules of the wild, whatever
- 9:52Speaker 1: you want to call it. The strongest survived. That's the
- 9:54Speaker 1: way it is in the National Football League. When they
- 9:56Speaker 1: find somebody better and if you're not doing what it
- 9:59Speaker 1: takes your out survival of the fittest. Simple as that.
- 10:03Speaker 1: It's a business, whoever you want to call it. Yeah,
- 10:05Speaker 1: let's get to defense now, and there's all that talk,
- 10:08Speaker 1: what's it gonna look like. We've had a little bit
- 10:11Speaker 1: of an idea. There's a lot of new faces out
- 10:13Speaker 1: there on defense, and one of those is Joe Colin,
- 10:15Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, discussing the scheme on defense and how some
- 10:20Speaker 1: guys will fit into that scheme. We're gonna have some
- 10:23Speaker 1: three four looks. We're gonna have some four three looks.
- 10:26Speaker 1: But I think our guys have done a great job.
- 10:28Speaker 1: When you look at Josh and you look at guys
- 10:29Speaker 1: like Caleban, Jordan's Smith, tall, range e, fast, playing on
- 10:35Speaker 1: the edge, I think I think it will suit those
- 10:37Speaker 1: guys well. They'll rush the passer, they'll drop into coverage
- 10:41Speaker 1: just like we did when we were in a four
- 10:43Speaker 1: three or three four. But I think our players have
- 10:45Speaker 1: really coaches have done a great job on Our players
- 10:48Speaker 1: have done a great job adapting everything we've installed. Let's
- 10:52Speaker 1: talk about three or four four three, But it's um,
- 10:54Speaker 1: you know, still guys that are athletes on the outside
- 10:57Speaker 1: able to do a lot of dofferent things. Yeah, they
- 11:01Speaker 1: got they got a ways to go. I mean, look
- 11:02Speaker 1: at even though they're putting in concepts of three four,
- 11:07Speaker 1: when it when you're doing it on the air and
- 11:09Speaker 1: it's not contact and the mental or the physical stress
- 11:13Speaker 1: is not there to go alongside with the mental part
- 11:16Speaker 1: of the game. And when when it's side by side,
- 11:18Speaker 1: then it becomes a challenge. It's easier to do it
- 11:21Speaker 1: in the all season when you're just I don't want
- 11:23Speaker 1: to say in shorts and underwear, but I mean essentially
- 11:25Speaker 1: that's what it is. So but the best thing is that, look,
- 11:29Speaker 1: you've got the verbiage down, You've got some of the
- 11:31Speaker 1: communications system established with the players, the familiarity is there,
- 11:37Speaker 1: and look, these are all things that didn't happen last year.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. They weren't in person, that's right.
- 11:43Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so when you when you have
- 11:48Speaker 1: a lot of newness last year, you had a lot
- 11:51Speaker 1: of newness with the roster. This year, you have a
- 11:54Speaker 1: lot of newness with the roster as well as newness
- 11:57Speaker 1: with coaching staff, newness with scheme. Thank goodness that there
- 12:02Speaker 1: has been an off season so that this franchise could
- 12:07Speaker 1: try to find its way back on the positive side
- 12:10Speaker 1: of the National Football League, because last year there was
- 12:13Speaker 1: no way it was gonna be able to happen with
- 12:15Speaker 1: some of the climate that you had to deal in.
- 12:19Speaker 1: So from from that aspect, it's great. But you look,
- 12:22Speaker 1: when you get the training camp and the pads come on,
- 12:25Speaker 1: then then you start to really kind of learn and
- 12:27Speaker 1: evaluate where you're at. And it's hard to evaluate where
- 12:31Speaker 1: you're at from a physical standpoint and from a competition
- 12:33Speaker 1: standpoint because you know you're I think Urban reflected on
- 12:37Speaker 1: this a couple of different times where you talked about
- 12:39Speaker 1: how you're not keeping score yet, so when you start
- 12:43Speaker 1: keeping score when the pads go on, because look, when
- 12:45Speaker 1: the pads goes on and you're gonna start keeping score,
- 12:48Speaker 1: there's winners and losers. There is obvious winners and losers
- 12:50Speaker 1: when the pads go on. So then you're gonna learn
- 12:52Speaker 1: a lot more about this football team and also learn
- 12:55Speaker 1: a lot about the players in the scheme. If you're
- 12:58Speaker 1: looking for a way to stay active and healthy, you

- 17:10Speaker 1: My biggest issue with Julan is this consistency and pass
- 17:13Speaker 1: pro al. Right, Um, in the run game, he's physical,
- 17:15Speaker 1: same with Camp from a run standpoint, I really can't
- 17:19Speaker 1: about any of our guys and how we approach it, right. Uh.
- 17:22Speaker 1: I'm of the belief, all right, there's very few teams.
- 17:24Speaker 1: If we decide we want to hand the ball off,
- 17:25Speaker 1: we're gonna stop us for running the ball. But when
- 17:28Speaker 1: we struggled last year at times was in pass pro right,
- 17:30Speaker 1: and that's a technique issue, in a consistency issue, all right,
- 17:33Speaker 1: and that's been addressed. I will continue to be addressed.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Those guys know it. Um, it's something that we're not
- 17:38Speaker 1: shot away from, so it would get better. That's George Warhop,
- 17:42Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive line coach, earlier this week and Jaguars Happy,
- 17:45Speaker 1: our roles along, j P. Shadrick, Jeff Lockerman, Brent Reaber,
- 17:49Speaker 1: Joe Fortunado, our entire crew. Glad you're along with us.
- 17:52Speaker 1: This is our final show for a little while, summer
- 17:54Speaker 1: break coming off, the off season program is over. That
- 17:58Speaker 1: means we're over too after But good to hear from
- 18:02Speaker 1: you know, good to hear from Warrop. We don't get
- 18:04Speaker 1: to hear from him a lot during the season. This
- 18:06Speaker 1: is that time of year where he's out there some
- 18:08Speaker 1: and he lays it out there pretty plainly for a
- 18:10Speaker 1: lot of people, especially those offensive tackles. And he had
- 18:13Speaker 1: a lot of good things to say about Walker Little
- 18:16Speaker 1: as well. You know, he said, you know, he's had
- 18:18Speaker 1: a lot of first and second round draft picks in
- 18:21Speaker 1: his career that has worked Underneathanan. He said he's the
- 18:25Speaker 1: most prepared and ready of any of those guys. I've
- 18:29Speaker 1: said this before and I I'm still I'm standing by
- 18:31Speaker 1: it that he will be the second best draft pick
- 18:34Speaker 1: in this class behind Trevor Lawrence. Here's the one for you.
- 18:39Speaker 1: It's very early. We haven't put on pads yet. I mean,
- 18:42Speaker 1: does he start this season sometime. I would not be
- 18:46Speaker 1: surprised just out of merit or by you know something,
- 18:50Speaker 1: if he if he starts. I'm not saying if he starts,
- 18:53Speaker 1: he's gonna start because he's good enough and because that
- 18:55Speaker 1: means he's he can be better or is better than
- 18:59Speaker 1: cam Robin sin. How that happens, I mean, I don't know.
- 19:02Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to speculate, but I can
- 19:03Speaker 1: tell you this. He hasn't played football in quite some time.
- 19:07Speaker 1: He played one game in twenty nineteen against Northwestern because
- 19:11Speaker 1: he was a member of Stanford. They played one game,
- 19:14Speaker 1: and I believe it was against Northwestern that I watched
- 19:16Speaker 1: the game until he ended up tearing his A c O,
- 19:19Speaker 1: which was late in that ball game. And I may
- 19:20Speaker 1: be wrong on the on the team that they were playing.
- 19:24Speaker 1: And then that was it. And so last year you
- 19:26Speaker 1: had Stanford didn't play and then when they decided to play,
- 19:30Speaker 1: it was so late that he was out. Walker Little
- 19:32Speaker 1: just said, I I'm I'm not gonna it's getting too
- 19:35Speaker 1: close to the draft, et cetera. I'm gonna prepare for that.
- 19:38Speaker 1: So he hasn't played a lot of football in quite
- 19:40Speaker 1: a few years, so I think there's gonna be an
- 19:44Speaker 1: acclamation period that is going to be a little bit
- 19:46Speaker 1: different for him because he hasn't played football recently. But
- 19:49Speaker 1: once he gets back into the swing of things, I
- 19:52Speaker 1: firmly believe it. I think he's your future starting left tackle.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Camera Robinson is on a one year franchise deal, and
- 19:59Speaker 1: Camera Robinson, just like George Warhop talked about in the
- 20:02Speaker 1: same thing with Jowan Taylor, those two have had consistency
- 20:04Speaker 1: issues and and he praised them in the running game.
- 20:08Speaker 1: And that's great because they are They're really good. I mean,
- 20:11Speaker 1: he's not lying there. They're really good run blockers. But
- 20:14Speaker 1: I was very surprised to hear the honesty and that
- 20:18Speaker 1: he talked about their problems are in past protection and
- 20:23Speaker 1: its performance and its consistency. And it's oh so true.
- 20:27Speaker 1: How much would quarterback consistency helped those tackles? And I thought,
- 20:33Speaker 1: I think it helps. I mean, look, all quarterback play.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Better quarterback play makes an offensive line better. For an example,
- 20:41Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was great at making sure Peton Manning dot
- 20:44Speaker 1: Dan Marino was great at it. John Elway was great
- 20:47Speaker 1: at I mean, all the great quarterbacks were better. Making
- 20:50Speaker 1: them made their offensive line better for various reasons. One
- 20:52Speaker 1: was their escapability, too, is the pocket mobility three might
- 20:57Speaker 1: have been just the de notion enough. I've got a
- 21:01Speaker 1: great pass rusher against the guy that's not that good,
- 21:03Speaker 1: and my clock it needs that ball needs to come
- 21:06Speaker 1: out in a in a hurry. So absolutely, But some
- 21:10Speaker 1: of the problems last year had nothing to do with
- 21:13Speaker 1: quarterback play. End of the ball game, you need to
- 21:17Speaker 1: pass protect because you're behind, you have to throw the football.
- 21:21Speaker 1: It's gonna happen here. Okay, everybody knows it, So just
- 21:24Speaker 1: just give the quarterback three seconds when thousand one, when
- 21:29Speaker 1: thousand two, one thousand three, they weren't even doing ad
- 21:33Speaker 1: you know. So that was a problem. And you had
- 21:38Speaker 1: two games last year alone that if you were able
- 21:42Speaker 1: to protect the quarterback, you might have won those games.
- 21:47Speaker 1: But because you couldn't protect the quarterback, that was a problem.
- 21:49Speaker 1: So those two clearly need to get better alry both
- 21:53Speaker 1: of them, Juwan Taylor and also Cam and Joan Taylor
- 21:57Speaker 1: needs to find consistency in a couple of areas. One.
- 22:00Speaker 1: First of all, he's very good against the rum, but
- 22:01Speaker 1: he can even be better. He can reach another level
- 22:05Speaker 1: because his finish can be better. Cams finishes can be
- 22:08Speaker 1: better also, But with Jowan the mental aspect of the game,
- 22:13Speaker 1: false starts have always been a little bit of a problem.
- 22:16Speaker 1: With the penalties yet okay, you got eliminate them. And
- 22:19Speaker 1: then pass protection, the consistency, the sets, the hands, the
- 22:23Speaker 1: hand placement and pass pro all those things have to
- 22:27Speaker 1: get better with both of those guys, especially when you
- 22:30Speaker 1: have a young quarterback at the home because look, the
- 22:32Speaker 1: reality is Trevor Lawrence is not going to be processing
- 22:36Speaker 1: information like a tenure veteran quarterback. You want to give
- 22:39Speaker 1: him a little bit more time. Let's hear from Charlie Strong.
- 22:43Speaker 1: He was one of I think the first actually joined
- 22:46Speaker 1: urban Meyer's staff. He's been with urban Meyer around urban
- 22:49Speaker 1: Meyer for a long time. They met back, as you'll
- 22:52Speaker 1: hear him say, back when they were both at Notre
- 22:54Speaker 1: Dame as assistants in the old days. So they've been
- 22:58Speaker 1: connected for a long time in college football, a long
- 23:01Speaker 1: time at the University of Florida as well. Strong spent
- 23:04Speaker 1: a lot of time with the Gators and a number
- 23:05Speaker 1: of different regimes there and then was the head coach
- 23:09Speaker 1: on his own. It's our first conversation we caught up
- 23:11Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, just after a practice outside
- 23:14Speaker 1: t i A bank Field, the assistant head coach and
- 23:17Speaker 1: inside linebackers coach, Charlie Strong. What's the greatest challenge for
- 23:21Speaker 1: a first year's staff, And you've been a head coach
- 23:24Speaker 1: a number of years in college a number of different places,
- 23:27Speaker 1: what is the biggest challenge the first year of establishing
- 23:30Speaker 1: the culture, the lines of communication, the foundation for what
- 23:35Speaker 1: you want to do. What's been the biggest challenge here? Then,
- 23:37Speaker 1: But one of the challenges that you look at is
- 23:40Speaker 1: that you really don't know the players, so you're trying
- 23:43Speaker 1: to and because of what we're going through with COVID,
- 23:46Speaker 1: you you're just trying to get around him and trying
- 23:48Speaker 1: to get as much information as you possibly can, because
- 23:51Speaker 1: you know it's just born about him just being a
- 23:53Speaker 1: football player. You'd like to know who his family is,
- 23:55Speaker 1: who has children are And then we have you talk about, Hey,
- 24:00Speaker 1: we got to establish this culture. A culture has been set,
- 24:04Speaker 1: so it's just for us to build on it. But
- 24:06Speaker 1: you can only build on it when guys understand that
- 24:10Speaker 1: you really believe in them and they can trust and
- 24:12Speaker 1: believe in you. Charlie Strong as with us as our
- 24:16Speaker 1: half of the Jaguars team behind us here after the
- 24:19Speaker 1: end of the off season program. You don't urban for
- 24:22Speaker 1: a long time. Obviously, When was the first time you
- 24:25Speaker 1: met him? Remember that story, like when did you first
- 24:28Speaker 1: run across Rover? Well, it was in nineteen nine six.
- 24:33Speaker 1: We were at Notre Dame together and I've been there
- 24:37Speaker 1: one year, and then he came in the following year
- 24:39Speaker 1: and he was building a house and at the time
- 24:42Speaker 1: that his house was not completed, so he came to stay.
- 24:46Speaker 1: And at that time it was just me and my
- 24:47Speaker 1: wife had no children, and it was just him and
- 24:50Speaker 1: but Shelley wasn't with him at the time, but they
- 24:52Speaker 1: had two children. So he stayed with me for like
- 24:55Speaker 1: three or four months, and so we became really close
- 24:59Speaker 1: and we really didn't know he each other up until
- 25:01Speaker 1: that point, and we just developed this relationship and in
- 25:04Speaker 1: the relationship that has lasted for a large number of years,
- 25:08Speaker 1: and you know in this profession, you know you'll go
- 25:10Speaker 1: work for somebody and then you end up leaving that person,
- 25:13Speaker 1: and somehow, some way you end up coming back together,
- 25:17Speaker 1: and guys end up working together again really strong with us.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Let's get into your inside linebacker room here and your
- 25:25Speaker 1: initial impressions after an offseason with Miles Jack. What did
- 25:30Speaker 1: you know about him before coming in and what what
- 25:33Speaker 1: have you learned over the last few months. Well, my
- 25:36Speaker 1: first meeting with Miles, I told him, I said, Miles,
- 25:38Speaker 1: I remember we're I'm in Texas and he's at U C.
- 25:41Speaker 1: L A. And it is fourth down two and they
- 25:46Speaker 1: and they put Miles at tail back and they're handing
- 25:48Speaker 1: the ball. We bring a guy off the edge clean,
- 25:51Speaker 1: Miles makes him miss and he goes down the sideline
- 25:54Speaker 1: for a touchdown. And uh, I told him, I said,
- 25:57Speaker 1: I can remember that play just like it was yesterday.
- 26:00Speaker 1: And I just always knew that he was an outstanding player.
- 26:03Speaker 1: And he's one of those players that each and every
- 26:05Speaker 1: year has gotten better. And that's what you want to see,
- 26:07Speaker 1: just him improve and and and what you see from
- 26:10Speaker 1: it is he works like he don't take no days
- 26:13Speaker 1: off this whole time he's been out there, and then
- 26:15Speaker 1: he's put in the work. Joe Schobert, veteran who's been
- 26:18Speaker 1: in the league a number of years. His second year
- 26:20Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Now, how about Joe? So far in the obvious,
- 26:23Speaker 1: you know, stable, and the thing about Joe is, you know,
- 26:26Speaker 1: right there in the middle, he's that guy that you're
- 26:28Speaker 1: looking for because, uh, what I really love about him
- 26:31Speaker 1: he can get everyone lined up and well, you know
- 26:34Speaker 1: your limitations and you know your abilities. You know, you
- 26:37Speaker 1: place yourself a musician, especially on this level, you place
- 26:40Speaker 1: yourself a musician to go make those plays. And that's
- 26:43Speaker 1: what he has shown. Has unbelievably one of those guys
- 26:45Speaker 1: that has great leadership skills, but he leaves just by
- 26:49Speaker 1: through through example. Doesn't say much, but guys see him work.
- 26:53Speaker 1: You know, if you didn't really know him, he's a jokester.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Guys don't really know that because he really don't say much.
- 26:58Speaker 1: But he's a very fun person to be around. Final
- 27:01Speaker 1: thought here with the joke Cullen's scheme being implemented, now,
- 27:04Speaker 1: what is the balance of having different looks on defense,
- 27:08Speaker 1: different pressures from different places. We saw that out of
- 27:10Speaker 1: Baltimore a lot, but keeping it simple too. There's a
- 27:14Speaker 1: lot of young players on this team. How challenging is
- 27:17Speaker 1: a very big challenge because you gotta keep it simple,
- 27:19Speaker 1: but also you you want to be flexible enough where
- 27:22Speaker 1: you can create problems for the office. And I think
- 27:25Speaker 1: that we moved to people around and up and just
- 27:27Speaker 1: put them in different positions and and and and make
- 27:30Speaker 1: it hard on the quarterback, make them have to find
- 27:32Speaker 1: guys and we'll bring a pressure. We know we gotta
- 27:34Speaker 1: get there with pressure because we're gonna be playing a
- 27:36Speaker 1: lot of man coverage. But it's been fun. I think
- 27:39Speaker 1: the guys have really bought into it and and they
- 27:42Speaker 1: really like it. That's Charlie Strong, long time head coach
- 27:45Speaker 1: in college football Louisville, Texas, South Florida and in the
- 27:50Speaker 1: NFL for the first time ever after thirty eight years
- 27:53Speaker 1: in college football. He's had a heck of a run
- 27:56Speaker 1: he has And it's always a good conversation with coach Strong,
- 28:00Speaker 1: and I think he's excited to kind of dip his
- 28:04Speaker 1: tone in the NFL waters It feels like I think
- 28:07Speaker 1: a lot of coaches will tell you that they liked
- 28:11Speaker 1: the experience in the National Football League simply for the
- 28:13Speaker 1: fact that they don't have to recruit, you know, even
- 28:16Speaker 1: as much as Irvan kind of come, I don't want
- 28:18Speaker 1: to say complained, but talked about how difficult it was
- 28:22Speaker 1: in free agency. You can't talk to guys, you don't
- 28:24Speaker 1: get to know him. But at the same token, look,
- 28:27Speaker 1: it's how a lot better than going out and talking
- 28:29Speaker 1: to kids and trying to sell him on a program
- 28:31Speaker 1: and do all that kind of stuff. So in the
- 28:33Speaker 1: National Football League, the off season is a little bit
- 28:35Speaker 1: more just about football. It's a little bit more about football.
- 28:39Speaker 1: It's a little bit more I mean, there's a little
- 28:41Speaker 1: bit of a recruiting and element involved, but not much
- 28:44Speaker 1: because I mean, the dollars always kind of end up
- 28:46Speaker 1: making some of those decisions for you. Uh. And also
- 28:49Speaker 1: you have to be a little bit involved in personnel
- 28:52Speaker 1: when you're a coach. But I mean, for the most part,
- 28:55Speaker 1: it's a way better schedule from the end of the
- 28:57Speaker 1: season until the start of the next sea and in
- 29:00Speaker 1: the pros compared to college foot But I mean, some
- 29:03Speaker 1: of those coaches loves sitting in those living rooms and
- 29:06Speaker 1: they're really good at it. And j P there's really good.
- 29:11Speaker 1: He's really good at it. But I can tell you
- 29:12Speaker 1: I would bet you that if you talked to ten
- 29:16Speaker 1: guys that maybe one of them might say that they
- 29:20Speaker 1: really enjoyed that aspect. You know. Yeah, it's different. It's
- 29:24Speaker 1: it's very different. And and I think Charlie Strong is
- 29:28Speaker 1: is first of all, I think he's really good for
- 29:32Speaker 1: any program, and that's why he has the title of
- 29:35Speaker 1: assistant head coach because he's gonna be somebody that urban
- 29:38Speaker 1: can trust, that he can bounce things off of, say
- 29:41Speaker 1: what do you think about this? And I think he'll
- 29:43Speaker 1: address the team a good bit too. He'll be in
- 29:45Speaker 1: front of the team absolutely, And I think I think
- 29:47Speaker 1: that every head coach has got to have somebody like that.
- 29:50Speaker 1: You gotta have somebody that you your relationship goes beyond
- 29:55Speaker 1: I hired you just because of this. It has to
- 29:58Speaker 1: be a deep lasting friendship that goes beyond ball to
- 30:03Speaker 1: be able to have that trust. And so so that's
- 30:06Speaker 1: good form and good for for Charlie Strong, and I
- 30:09Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a very good relationship and I
- 30:10Speaker 1: think it's gonna work plenty. Ahead will return with Anthony Schlegel,
- 30:15Speaker 1: the head strength and conditioning coach for the Jacksonville. He
- 30:22Speaker 1: gets you fired up and talking to him, Yeah, talk
- 30:25Speaker 1: to him a couple of weeks ago, Man, and I
- 30:26Speaker 1: was like ready to live weights, you know, come on,

- 35:56Speaker 1: period of time and you start to jones for it
- 35:58Speaker 1: to be bad and to be able to see it
- 36:01Speaker 1: in person, because you know there's you know, there's something
- 36:03Speaker 1: about watching football in person, or something about watching or
- 36:06Speaker 1: listening to live music in person that just makes it special.
- 36:09Speaker 1: And I just know that. For give you a perfect example,
- 36:11Speaker 1: because I'm a big live music fan. We were getting
- 36:13Speaker 1: ready to me and my wife were getting ready to
- 36:14Speaker 1: go see the Steel Drivers and uh and then it
- 36:18Speaker 1: gets canceled because of COVID and it was just like that, Yeah,
- 36:22Speaker 1: I know, right, So now we're having to wait. I
- 36:24Speaker 1: think they're coming in January, so we're gonna finally get
- 36:28Speaker 1: to see him, hopefully. Do you just drop a dad
- 36:31Speaker 1: gumment like Bobby Bowden in here? You just did? I
- 36:34Speaker 1: think you just did. I think I just heard that.
- 36:37Speaker 1: I like Bobby. It's widely entertaining, no doubt. So get
- 36:44Speaker 1: your tickets Daily's Place dot com. Let's get back to
- 36:46Speaker 1: football now. Anthony Schlegel is new to the staff. He's
- 36:49Speaker 1: the head strength and conditioning coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 36:53Speaker 1: He spent a few years in Columbus, well, he played there.
- 36:55Speaker 1: First of all, he was a draft pick third rounder
- 36:58Speaker 1: as a linebacker, played a cup of years in the NFL,
- 37:01Speaker 1: and then went into strength coaching, and he was an
- 37:04Speaker 1: Ohio State for about four seasons or so, the Buck
- 37:07Speaker 1: eyes as the assistant strength and conditioning coach there. He
- 37:11Speaker 1: is now the headman in Jacksonville. And strap in and
- 37:14Speaker 1: hang on, you will be ready to lift some weights
- 37:17Speaker 1: after this conversation. Let's start off with the most challenging
- 37:22Speaker 1: part of coming in as a new staff. Is it
- 37:25Speaker 1: learning the new players and where they are with strength
- 37:28Speaker 1: and conditioning, getting the new guys acclimated, setting the foundation.
- 37:32Speaker 1: What what is the most difficult part and what what
- 37:35Speaker 1: has been the most fulfilling part so far that you
- 37:38Speaker 1: know what those are two great questions. Uh. Difficult part
- 37:42Speaker 1: is one being in the NFL for the first time.
- 37:45Speaker 1: That's new, right, so you have to navigate the rules.
- 37:48Speaker 1: And it's completely different in college when you have guys
- 37:51Speaker 1: into your training, you know, starting in January, throughout the
- 37:54Speaker 1: entire year, and you know everybody's body, what they do,
- 37:58Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you hadn't do that.
- 38:00Speaker 1: There's certain rules that limit you from the field. There's
- 38:02Speaker 1: certain rules, uh in the weight room, and then you
- 38:04Speaker 1: have the COVID rules on top of that, and then
- 38:07Speaker 1: you get guys back for O. T, A S. And
- 38:09Speaker 1: then you have to see where they are because every
- 38:11Speaker 1: guy is different. It's you don't have a standard, right,
- 38:14Speaker 1: so you have to do an evaluation, be very proactive
- 38:17Speaker 1: in your approach to dealing with them. Uh So those
- 38:21Speaker 1: are probably been the most difficult things, but we've navigated
- 38:24Speaker 1: it very very well. I'd say the most fulfilling thing
- 38:28Speaker 1: is being around the guys I got said, I got
- 38:31Speaker 1: the only reason I'm in the game is to increase
- 38:33Speaker 1: their value and serve them because I was one of them.
- 38:36Speaker 1: And looking back at my own career and the reason
- 38:40Speaker 1: I got into the constraint of conditioning game was I
- 38:42Speaker 1: was a third round pick. I was two hundred fifty pounds.
- 38:45Speaker 1: I could stuff to run, but I wish I had
- 38:47Speaker 1: a strength. Coach say, hey, listen, you don't need to
- 38:50Speaker 1: be too fifty. I don't care that you did list
- 38:51Speaker 1: seven hundred pounds and squad six hunder pounds. If you
- 38:54Speaker 1: want to make a roster and have a career, you
- 38:56Speaker 1: need to lose the linebacker mentality and get a football
- 38:59Speaker 1: player mental. And so let's work on your hips, Let's
- 39:02Speaker 1: work on your need ben, Let's work on acceleration, Let's
- 39:06Speaker 1: work on hand fighting, so that you can make a
- 39:08Speaker 1: roster and be the best special team player you can
- 39:10Speaker 1: so that when you have an opportunity to play linebacker,
- 39:13Speaker 1: you can excel. And I think having that mindset and
- 39:16Speaker 1: that approach has really helped me. But it's also benefit
- 39:19Speaker 1: our guys because they're all different. They're all unique. Whether
- 39:22Speaker 1: you're a first round pick, starter or a guy that's
- 39:25Speaker 1: first year guy, it doesn't matter to me, man. We
- 39:27Speaker 1: treat them all the same. Urban has talked a lot
- 39:29Speaker 1: about having an environment where players want to be and
- 39:33Speaker 1: want to be year round, and that's the important part
- 39:35Speaker 1: of this. What have you doing done in the weight
- 39:36Speaker 1: room to do that and the conditioning game, you know,
- 39:39Speaker 1: to keep guys around here and wanting to be in
- 39:41Speaker 1: this building and in this facific Yeah, first off, you
- 39:44Speaker 1: gotta Jim Trussell told me this a long time ago.
- 39:46Speaker 1: They'll never care about how much you know. Do they
- 39:48Speaker 1: know how much you care? Period? Dot? And in this league, yes,
- 39:51Speaker 1: it's a business. But still we're all dudes. And you
- 39:53Speaker 1: have a high GSF, which is given issue factor for
- 39:56Speaker 1: maximizing and increasing their value. They're gonna want to be there.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Then you crank that music to eleven and you bring
- 40:02Speaker 1: the juice and you expect them to have some juice
- 40:04Speaker 1: and you get that power of the unit friction within
- 40:07Speaker 1: the workout of teammate or teammate accountability. That's fun, right.
- 40:11Speaker 1: You start competing in the weightroom with one another, the
- 40:12Speaker 1: wide receivers at lbs, doesn't matter old line. They have
- 40:16Speaker 1: fun with it, and they see the games and then
- 40:17Speaker 1: they want more of it. But most importantly, then after
- 40:20Speaker 1: you get done training, you rejuvenate the crap out of them,
- 40:23Speaker 1: so you start I think that's the one thing that
- 40:25Speaker 1: we've done really, really well, is that a pro routine
- 40:29Speaker 1: doesn't start when you hit camp. Being a pro and
- 40:32Speaker 1: having a routine starts in January or February postseason. How
- 40:36Speaker 1: am I going to get my body back right? How
- 40:38Speaker 1: am I gonna go through the high perch few phase
- 40:40Speaker 1: and all these different phases and strength and conditioning to
- 40:43Speaker 1: be able to stress to teach you when I go
- 40:44Speaker 1: to O T S. How am I rejuvenating my body
- 40:46Speaker 1: every day? What does my diet look like in February
- 40:49Speaker 1: and March and April and May and June and then
- 40:51Speaker 1: into the summer and achieving these goals. And that's what
- 40:53Speaker 1: we found with these guys. They've taken it so seriously
- 40:56Speaker 1: and we've given them the tools, right and and been
- 41:00Speaker 1: accessible all day, Like we open, that's our We open
- 41:04Speaker 1: for you. So if you need to get rejuvenate, we open.
- 41:07Speaker 1: You want to get bumpy at six am, we open, Right,
- 41:10Speaker 1: you have something you want to take your kids at
- 41:11Speaker 1: school and get bumpy at three o'clock. I guess what,
- 41:13Speaker 1: we open because that's our job. Like we only have
- 41:15Speaker 1: jobs because of the players, and you cannot lose that mindset.
- 41:19Speaker 1: And also it makes us go back and reevaluate what
- 41:22Speaker 1: we can do to fill our toolbox to enhance them
- 41:25Speaker 1: even more. Anthony Schleego, with US head strength and Conditioning
- 41:29Speaker 1: coach for the Jaguars, How has the technology changed your
- 41:34Speaker 1: day to day work over the years? GPS tracking? You
- 41:38Speaker 1: know it has to help narrow down best practices, recovery
- 41:42Speaker 1: and all the rest. Yeah. I like that you said
- 41:44Speaker 1: recovery because I don't like I don't say recovery. I
- 41:46Speaker 1: say rejuvenate because like, what are you recovering too? But
- 41:49Speaker 1: I want to rejuvenate to max capacity? Right, So that's
- 41:52Speaker 1: one terminology, like like we gotta get rid of that.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Like I want to rejuvenate. I want to be at
- 41:55Speaker 1: mass capacity. But there's so many things, and you've got
- 41:58Speaker 1: to manage the measurables. So you gotta know exactly what
- 42:00Speaker 1: you're looking for. So whether it's the force plate, looking
- 42:03Speaker 1: at different things on how they jump and how they land, asymmetries, etcetera, etcetera.
- 42:08Speaker 1: There hamstring strength, they're growing strength. Those are all things
- 42:10Speaker 1: that you can utilize in the weight room too, you know,
- 42:13Speaker 1: enhance those weaknesses, right, we call him enhancements, you know,
- 42:18Speaker 1: not necessarily high needs, like I want to enhance you
- 42:21Speaker 1: said area of enhancement. So we can do that within
- 42:23Speaker 1: the weight program. And then you have the other things
- 42:25Speaker 1: they use catapult um GPS outside, so you got you know,
- 42:30Speaker 1: a guy's training load. You know how many accelerations and
- 42:32Speaker 1: then and how many high speed yards they get per
- 42:34Speaker 1: practice per week. You could tell their coaches that, hey,
- 42:37Speaker 1: here's exactly where your guy is. But the trainers we
- 42:39Speaker 1: all know in real time exactly how much the guy
- 42:42Speaker 1: weighed in, how much the guy waited out. Our nutritionus knows, hey,
- 42:45Speaker 1: this guy lost ten pounds of practice boom. Here's how
- 42:47Speaker 1: much water and gatoray that you have to drink post
- 42:50Speaker 1: practice to regain that. Here's how much food you need. Oh,
- 42:53Speaker 1: this guy had a trainload. He had an absolute hard day. Boom,
- 42:56Speaker 1: here's how much food you need. So it's in real time.
- 42:58Speaker 1: That way, nobody has missed. Guess the problem If you
- 43:01Speaker 1: don't have that system dialed in, guys getting missing again
- 43:04Speaker 1: one to ninety. It doesn't matter because they're all out
- 43:07Speaker 1: there spilling it, you know what I'm saying. So it's
- 43:09Speaker 1: all about serving them. So that's why you have to
- 43:11Speaker 1: have that process dout in a great communication alignment through
- 43:15Speaker 1: the strength staff, the training staff, nutrition staff to make
- 43:17Speaker 1: sure we meet those needs. Anthony Schlegel, they had to
- 43:21Speaker 1: drink the conditioning coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars. You want
- 43:24Speaker 1: to get bumpy at six thirty in the morning, we open.
- 43:28Speaker 1: That's a look. Uh. I find that that's the best
- 43:31Speaker 1: time to work out, start the day right and get
- 43:34Speaker 1: it done before anything else. It always takes precedence. That's
- 43:37Speaker 1: always been a good time to work out, you know.
- 43:39Speaker 1: I will say this. When he started talking about how
- 43:42Speaker 1: you make it competitive when you have position groups that
- 43:44Speaker 1: are working out together there, nothing could be further from
- 43:47Speaker 1: the truth than what he's talking about. Because when I
- 43:51Speaker 1: was a pro for my first six years and I
- 43:53Speaker 1: was in New York. I would work out in my
- 43:56Speaker 1: hometown and occasionally when we would get back together in
- 44:00Speaker 1: New York. But back then you didn't have year round
- 44:02Speaker 1: O t A s and all that kind of thing.
- 44:05Speaker 1: When I came to Jacksonville and it became a year
- 44:08Speaker 1: round with the O t A S and you trained
- 44:10Speaker 1: with your teammates, the amount of gains that I made
- 44:14Speaker 1: as an individual far surpassed anything that I was able
- 44:18Speaker 1: to make on my own, just because of the competition
- 44:22Speaker 1: that gets created within a position group and then also
- 44:26Speaker 1: amongst position groups. I mean, that's that's good stuff. And
- 44:31Speaker 1: so not only are you making it better for yourself,
- 44:34Speaker 1: making improvements and gains that you wouldn't ordinarily make elsewhere,
- 44:39Speaker 1: but you're also building that camaraderie and I think that
- 44:41Speaker 1: goes a long way. And and uh, you know, and
- 44:44Speaker 1: and I like the way that they always talk about
- 44:47Speaker 1: how they're serving the players, they're trying to make them
- 44:53Speaker 1: more valuable, which you know, it's a it's a different
- 44:57Speaker 1: way of saying to get them better, to help our
- 45:00Speaker 1: team get better, but it kind of it's it's a
- 45:02Speaker 1: it's kind of almost like a psychological way of convincing
- 45:06Speaker 1: the player. This is for you, because it is it
- 45:09Speaker 1: is for you the player, to make you better, to
- 45:13Speaker 1: help get you to be a better player, to where
- 45:16Speaker 1: you become more valuable, where you come where you can
- 45:19Speaker 1: make more money, not just about just making us a
- 45:22Speaker 1: better team. And I think that's a and it's an
- 45:24Speaker 1: interesting approach, and it goes very much along the same
- 45:26Speaker 1: lines where they're talking about the training room and that
- 45:29Speaker 1: they're trying to take the stigma away from that the
- 45:31Speaker 1: training room is bad. They're trying to tell you that
- 45:34Speaker 1: the training rooms can be good. It can help you
- 45:36Speaker 1: get better and help them. It can. It's taking care
- 45:39Speaker 1: of your body so that you can function. So I
- 45:41Speaker 1: like the mindset that Urban has instilled with trying to
- 45:45Speaker 1: serve the players and everything there is designed to give
- 45:49Speaker 1: the players the best of the best so that they
- 45:51Speaker 1: can be at their best. And that's the mindset I
- 45:54Speaker 1: think that I have seen with Urban here this year
- 45:58Speaker 1: that has impressed me the most. Away that mentality has changed.
- 46:02Speaker 1: We're not recovering, we're rejuvenating logs, according to schle rejuvenating
- 46:07Speaker 1: the crap out of what he said. I like that approach,
- 46:11Speaker 1: so our thanks to Anthony Schlegel and Charlie Strong for
- 46:14Speaker 1: their time after practice earlier this week. We'll come back
- 46:17Speaker 1: in a moment and go around the National Football League

- 50:24Speaker 1: is Marvin Jones, Junior, Jaguar's wide receiver singing that lovely song.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Lift every voice and sing and uh. It is the
- 50:35Speaker 1: one fiftieth anniversary of James Weldon Johnson's birthday today. He
- 50:40Speaker 1: was born in Jacksonville. He wrote that song while he
- 50:43Speaker 1: was living in this city, and he Marvin Jones recently
- 50:47Speaker 1: went to the Rich Theater in downtown Jacksonville to sing
- 50:51Speaker 1: in honor Johnson's life and legacy. The full song available
- 50:54Speaker 1: on Jaguars social media. Marvin Jones Jr. Multitalented, multitle ingle,
- 51:00Speaker 1: can sing and he can play a little football too,
- 51:03Speaker 1: and you can you can tell that he is. He's
- 51:05Speaker 1: really taken on, which is kind of rare. He's taken
- 51:09Speaker 1: on a real strong leadership role with this offense and
- 51:11Speaker 1: his football team, which is when I say it's rare.
- 51:15Speaker 1: When guys come in and free agency. A lot of
- 51:17Speaker 1: times there's an adjustment period because they're just not comfortable
- 51:21Speaker 1: doing it yet. They want to get to know their teammates.
- 51:24Speaker 1: Let the teammates to get know them before they start leading. Uh.
- 51:30Speaker 1: And but he has been a natural and I think
- 51:33Speaker 1: he's been also you can see he talks a lot
- 51:35Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence, and he talks a lot on the
- 51:39Speaker 1: field with different players, not just his position group. Because
- 51:43Speaker 1: you gotta remember, he is from Darryl Bebel's offense. He
- 51:47Speaker 1: knows this offense. And so when you have a guy
- 51:50Speaker 1: that knows the offense that has a natural style of leadership, boy,
- 51:54Speaker 1: that really helps a football team. And and and it
- 51:56Speaker 1: helps players on a team when they can hear it
- 51:59Speaker 1: from somebody other than a coach. Sometimes sometimes when what
- 52:02Speaker 1: we call it coach speak, you can you can hear
- 52:05Speaker 1: coaches talk, But when a player hears it from a
- 52:07Speaker 1: voice that's a teammate or somebody that's just different, sometimes
- 52:11Speaker 1: it has a tendency to penetrate a little bit deeper
- 52:13Speaker 1: into the memory bank. So let's go around the National
- 52:17Speaker 1: Football League and surprise surprise, logs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- 52:23Speaker 1: have sold out the season will be full capacity at
- 52:27Speaker 1: Raymond James Stadium. The World Champions are sold out for
- 52:30Speaker 1: the season. That's awesome, surprise, you know, it's cool and
- 52:36Speaker 1: and the reality is that how many more chances are
- 52:39Speaker 1: there gonna be to watch Tom Brady play, You just
- 52:42Speaker 1: don't know. And and to to be able to watch
- 52:46Speaker 1: a team come back in its entirety, the team that
- 52:50Speaker 1: went and won a Super Bowl is back for the
- 52:52Speaker 1: most part intact, totally understand why they're sold out. The
- 52:57Speaker 1: NFL put out a memo earlier this week of regulations
- 53:02Speaker 1: for vaccinated and non vaccinated players. Players that are not
- 53:08Speaker 1: vaccinated will pretty much have to go through everything they
- 53:11Speaker 1: did last season, testing every day, and strict rules about
- 53:16Speaker 1: behavior away from the facility, with finds up to nearly
- 53:20Speaker 1: fifteen thous dollars for a variety of violations, including gathering
- 53:24Speaker 1: outside the facility, in person, meetings or practices outside the facility,
- 53:29Speaker 1: going to an indoor nightclub or bar house, gathering more
- 53:32Speaker 1: than fifteen without masks, indoor concerts or entertainment events. That's
- 53:36Speaker 1: just a few on the list. So they're trying to
- 53:39Speaker 1: incentivize players getting vaccinated, and once of your roster is vaccinated,
- 53:46Speaker 1: that's really the magic number for things to open up
- 53:48Speaker 1: in the building and beyond. I'm not sure why why
- 53:51Speaker 1: the players would choose not to have the vaccination. Look,
- 53:54Speaker 1: and that's their choice, because I mean, I think it's
- 53:57Speaker 1: similar in some ways to the flu shot. Some people
- 54:00Speaker 1: have chosen not to get the flu shot. For me,
- 54:03Speaker 1: a personal choice. I'm vaccinated, JP, you're vaccinating, and me
- 54:08Speaker 1: and Vasselly we're actually having the conversation on Tuesday and
- 54:11Speaker 1: the bleachers, and we were saying, you know, from a
- 54:13Speaker 1: player's standpoint, why would you not want to be vaccinated?
- 54:17Speaker 1: Just from the standpoint you don't have to wear a mask.
- 54:21Speaker 1: So but look, I hope, I hope everybody and and
- 54:24Speaker 1: every team is able to get to the threshold. And
- 54:27Speaker 1: I understand that there are some personal preferences and that
- 54:29Speaker 1: some people will not be vaccinated, and I get it.
- 54:32Speaker 1: I understand it, and hopefully that you know because once
- 54:35Speaker 1: you meet that threshold, now you can start to do
- 54:38Speaker 1: things as a team that teams that are not at
- 54:41Speaker 1: that threshold will not be able to do. So there
- 54:43Speaker 1: is some natural incentives to do it, and is the
- 54:46Speaker 1: way it should be. Patrick Mahons says there should be
- 54:50Speaker 1: no issues with his toe moving forward that hampered him
- 54:54Speaker 1: last season. There was no issue with his toe before.
- 54:57Speaker 1: He still wanted the best quarterback in the National Football
- 55:00Speaker 1: All that he's tremendous. Nine toes, ted toes, eight toes,
- 55:03Speaker 1: how many toes you need? He's reminded of the story,
- 55:06Speaker 1: you know, and and uh Ronnie Lott when he played
- 55:09Speaker 1: in the playoff game years ago and he had a
- 55:12Speaker 1: finger issue and they they basically told the doctor cut
- 55:15Speaker 1: it off so that he could be available to play
- 55:17Speaker 1: the next week in a playoff game. And I'll not
- 55:21Speaker 1: saying that Patrick Mahomes is gonna say, hey, cut my
- 55:23Speaker 1: toe off. I don't need it, But I mean, you
- 55:26Speaker 1: find a way to get rid of that toe. It's
- 55:28Speaker 1: becoming a problem too much now. I guess it was
- 55:31Speaker 1: the big toe. I didn't even see what's toes. I
- 55:32Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, but he looks he kind
- 55:35Speaker 1: of need the big toe. He is a dynamite player. Yeah,
- 55:39Speaker 1: big big toe is left foot. He is the best
- 55:41Speaker 1: young quarterback in the National Football League. And you got it.
- 55:44Speaker 1: But you can't cut the big toe off and function.
- 55:46Speaker 1: I can tell you that it doesn't work that way.
- 55:48Speaker 1: You gotta have the big toe. Now, if there's a
- 55:49Speaker 1: pinky toe that cut it off, you can run around nine. Yeah,
- 55:54Speaker 1: not not without the big toe. Though. The Chicago Bears
- 55:57Speaker 1: the Monsters of the Midway, have made an offer to
- 56:00Speaker 1: purchase a racetrack in suburban Chicago land Arlington Heights is
- 56:05Speaker 1: the name of it. One another option for a stadium,
- 56:07Speaker 1: The Arlington International Race Course is about thirty miles from
- 56:10Speaker 1: Soldier Field. Bears president CEO Ted Philips said, quote, it's
- 56:13Speaker 1: our obligation to explore every possible option to ensure we're
- 56:16Speaker 1: doing what's best for our organization and its future end quote.
- 56:20Speaker 1: And that would allow them to evaluate property and the potential.
- 56:24Speaker 1: They have a lease with the city to play at
- 56:25Speaker 1: Soldier Field running through three, so you know they're getting
- 56:29Speaker 1: ahead of this a little. There's some thought that what
- 56:32Speaker 1: they have is not going to be good enough for
- 56:34Speaker 1: them going forward in the future. And and they don't
- 56:36Speaker 1: own the stadium and totally get it. I mean, that's
- 56:39Speaker 1: it's it's the stadium, mores and it's going to continue.
- 56:43Speaker 1: And the most interesting piece of news that came out
- 56:45Speaker 1: of Chicago was what was talked about today where Matt Nage,
- 56:48Speaker 1: their head coach, said that that once uh uh, the
- 56:53Speaker 1: Red Rocket, the guy that they got from Andy Dalton,
- 56:58Speaker 1: once he if he were something were to happen him.
- 57:00Speaker 1: The next man is their draft pick fields, and it's
- 57:03Speaker 1: not gonna be Nick Foles. So Nick Foles right now
- 57:06Speaker 1: has already been put at third team on the depth chart.
- 57:10Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot of money and draft equity
- 57:12Speaker 1: gone for a guy who's third in the depth chart. There.
- 57:15Speaker 1: So there's two teams that just wasted equity and wasted
- 57:19Speaker 1: money on Nick Foles, thank you bears by the way,
- 57:22Speaker 1: Well yeah yeah, but the Jaguars had to get a
- 57:26Speaker 1: bunch of money too, you know. So the Jaguars wasted
- 57:29Speaker 1: money on Nick Foles and wasted time and wasted the
- 57:33Speaker 1: opportunity to get on another quarterback. So I mean it's
- 57:36Speaker 1: Nick Foles is looking Nick Foles like, all right, it's
- 57:39Speaker 1: all good. He's doing fine, he's got a super ring.
- 57:45Speaker 1: He's good, family's good thing, he's a good guy. I've
- 57:49Speaker 1: heard nothing but good things about him and wish him
- 57:50Speaker 1: nothing but the best. But to be relegated to third team,
- 57:53Speaker 1: I don't think it's what he envisioned when he went
- 57:55Speaker 1: to Chicago. I think justin Fields is going to be
- 57:57Speaker 1: a star, Mike. He's going to be really good. I
- 58:00Speaker 1: just know when he took that hit from the linebacker Clemson,
- 58:04Speaker 1: a spearham absolutely in semifinal game, tough as nails, came
- 58:09Speaker 1: back played through it. I mean that that remind that
- 58:12Speaker 1: reminded me of like the Byron left for performance where
- 58:15Speaker 1: they're carrying him to the to the next thing when
- 58:17Speaker 1: he had the leg in, and I mean that that one.
- 58:20Speaker 1: You know, the Kellen Winslow game where he was barely
- 58:23Speaker 1: even be able to I mean that's just I mean
- 58:25Speaker 1: that was an epic game for him. And I love
- 58:28Speaker 1: his toughness and he's obviously got a big, strong arm.
- 58:31Speaker 1: I think he could be a great one. I'm not
- 58:34Speaker 1: I'm not calling him a Hall of famer, but the
- 58:36Speaker 1: only quarterback hall of Famer for the Bears is sid Luckman.
- 58:39Speaker 1: That's going back. It's a long time, right, And what
- 58:42Speaker 1: year was at that's in the what the way a
- 58:44Speaker 1: long time ago? Probably like that's forever ago. How about
- 58:50Speaker 1: that like it was at the twenties. I mean it's
- 58:52Speaker 1: old old days footble leather helmets football. I don't know
- 58:55Speaker 1: if it's that far back, but I'm just I'm kind
- 58:57Speaker 1: of kidding. It's something else. I mean a long time ago. Yeah,
- 58:59Speaker 1: nine long time ago. That was his career. So Jim McMahon,
- 59:05Speaker 1: Jim McMahon is not a Hall of Super Bowl. He
- 59:07Speaker 1: did one of the Bears defense won that Super Bowl
- 59:09Speaker 1: that Peyton was on the football team, and that was
- 59:13Speaker 1: a good football team. Hey, enjoy the break. We won't
