• 0:20
  Speaker 1: look like in what is May? And once again, I'm
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: not talking about execution. I'm just talking about camaraderie, ownership, work, ethic, sports, performance,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: changing bodies, health of players. You know, I created an
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: A plus. I can't be more happy with everybody talks
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: about the draft and free agency. I'm not gonna let
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: people forget there's a great core group of players in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars organization that want to win, and uh, it's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: our coach's job to give them an opportunity to win.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So they're all here. They all enjoyed being around each other,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: they enjoyed being around the staff, and uh, it's been
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It's been really good. Another week of O t a

• 1:10
  Speaker 1: We hope everyone had a great weekend. Didn't hate having
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a day off, I won't admit it. How would you guys,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You will admit I will admit it. Yeah, it was good.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It was three days in May and now we're back
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to work for what five more on field sessions. Uh
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: so that's good too. I will say this. It was
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: nice and cool in the mornings and the evenings, right,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I mean unseasonably cool. It felt like to me at
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: least out of the beach with that nice breeze. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: would love it if we saw some of that weather
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: continue on through summer, right and this week on the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: field that the players would love that. It was. It
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: was beautiful weekend to live in North Florida. It was.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It made me laugh. For Cky minicamp. We heard players saying, oh,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it's so nice out, this is really great, and I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was like, just wait till August. You're gonna love it here.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: In't that adorable? All right, here we go, let's get
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: into big things. Big thing one is for thoughts. We
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: watched a full practice last week at O t S
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and some takeaways that we're going to go over with you.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Defense shine during red zone period, but that's not really
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a surprise with a young offense but is still trying
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to get their timing down we also have some players
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. This week's will go over.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That big thing too is changing changing culture on the show.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: We're always talking about it, but it's totally different when
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you hear a franchise player talk about the changing culture. So,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Brandon Linder, what has been different since Urban Meyer has
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: been hired. It's just on the performance side, um, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: dry needling, cupping, all the different therapies, activation stuff, equipment,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I mean, you know, we've got
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a couple of new facilities going up. Um. And in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the food you know, the food has been better and nutrition,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: all these different shakes and whatnot. So I mean it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: just we have more at our hands now to succeed
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in too, you know, help us show potential on the field,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know, show our values. Big thing three is professionals.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: This is a job. We always talk about it. It's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: great to see the camaraderie and everyone here having fun
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on the field, but treat it like a job. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what ray Sean Jenkins and Shas Griffin are
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: doing during a voluntary off season. You can just tell
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just both of our mindsets and approach to the game
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is just different. And much more just professional. Um, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: even like today we came out there. We we we
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: came and before prectice, we talked to each other, Hey,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: what we need to work on it day? What do
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I need to work on a day? Better? Let's make
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: sure we're doing that and then we don't do we
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: started doing. I mean, if we don't see each other
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: doing that, let's hold each other accountable. And uh so
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it's just a professional Uh listen, as as you know
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we age. But you know he's always been a great
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: football player, and you know, I spend nothing else. Very
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: cool connection there. They are childhood friends, played youth football
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to other and now in the locker room asking each
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: other what do you need to work on to day?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was a pretty cool story there.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Well I laughed because he said they're more professional now
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: than when they played together when they were eight and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: make a little more money. I would hope so, And
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that is a cool story. I mean, you know again
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you would hope that they have better preparation habits at
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: this point, but that would be a cool thing. You know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you're sitting there playing football, I mean with the kid
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: when you were seven and then all of a sudden,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you're twenty five and you're trying to push each other
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to make it in a profession, so it was anyone
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: else look at that though. Dude has got a lot
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: of hair, and you wonder how he gets a helmet on.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know he puts it all down and stuff,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: but I just my first reaction every time is how
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: how does he get a helmet on? He obviously does.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Hair is not fun in the butt. Let's go back
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: up to the top and talk about first impressions, because
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: this team has not stopped the run since, uh, since
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a game in Cincinnati where Marcel Darius was injured, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and last year obviously was a debacle. And the first
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: thing I noticed was how many bodies they had, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: not just bodies, but big bodies in the defensive line group.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: They had numbers, they had size. I mean, you see
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: these guys now and realize, um, they'll stop the run.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I mean they've got huge size and numbers. It is
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a dramatic and dramatically better looking group of people, uh
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: than they had here in the last year or two. Well,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: they made it clear Urban Meyer, I started free agency,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: made it clear that was the number one priority, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They not only threw big bodies, they threw a lot
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: at it, and they threw some talented guys meaning I'm
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown to Faile Har was supposed to. Yeah, he's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the guy that stood out the most. He is a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: massive body. Yes, so they they went after it with
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: quality with those guys. And then you can also tell
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they sort of played the numbers game is played safe
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and see if we can get some other guys to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: develop as well. So, yeah, that was the thing you noticed.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Now also noticed Brian the front seven overall on defense. Uh,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: just the total numbers is the increased athleticism, Uh, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: so that's going to be something to watch. You mentioned
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to Fele and Malcolm Brown, and then you see Devon
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Hamilton's who we all were talking about how he was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: growing through last season and then he got hurt and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you kind of forget about him. So there are plenty
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of names and plenty of there's plenty of talent to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: work with upfront. That was the thing that stood out
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to me. And I know the focus was on on
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the offense with the quarterback, and everybody wanted to see
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: him and Tim Tebow together and the storylines are evident
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: but that group in particular, it was impressive. Yes, the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: line around at the tight end drills was definitely amplified
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and an O T A I will admit that. But
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me, John and you wrote about
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it was when you were watching red zone drills and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the story when line was that Trevor Lawrence ruggled a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: bit and the offense the timing was a little off.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But then you look into it and it's not really
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a surprise, and we write the defense shines and they
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: look great, which they did, but it takes some time
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for this offense to get a rhythm. Well, it's cool things.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Remember here the media is seeing right now. Unlike years
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: past when we all watched tan O T A s
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and three mini camps, we're watching one out of three
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: each week O T S right now. I remire made
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a point to say, the offense and Trevor Lawrence has
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: looked very good on Wednesday, So trying to analyze this
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is dangerous because you're only analyzing one out of three.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: The red zone offense wasn't very good. Trevor Lawrence did struggle,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: but red zone offense is the it's often the last
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: thing that quarterbacks get that offenses get When I was
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: covering the Colt with Peyton Manning, I forget which year
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it was, but he talked about that, all of a sudden,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: their red zone offense was like, which is absurd, but
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: he made a point that's clear really the hardest. That's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: clearly the last thing to come together for any offense.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Why they work on it so much during practice And
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: here's a news flash. They may not be great to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: start the season in the red zone. Next year, they
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: might they might have been good in the red zone
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: at all the year. Right, that is the last measure,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and it's often the measure of how young quarterbacks developing.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You would expect Trevor Lawrence not to be as good
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: there next year as he will be in And people forget,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: so we'll remind you. The field gets compressed. It's so
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: there's so many more bodies. And I saw him making
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the right reads and trying to drop the ball in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: spots and he was overshooting guys right, just timing. Yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: so it's something he doesn't know what to do with it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: It's the timing issue and knowing where to go and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: when and how to fire it through. And that's going
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to take time it will I once will say one
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: thing that was promising when you were watching in the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: offense is how many options there were. How many playmakers
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: there were. I mean even when it was third team
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and it was Jake Luten like Chris Man. Hurts is
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: one of them. I know we're gonna talk about it
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: next segment. But he was brought in here to be
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a blocking tight end and he's catching touchdowns left and right.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: So I will say that with promising, there are a
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: lot of he's a big body. Yeah, guys out there
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: making place. Agreed. I love that. Thanks for a green
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: When we come back. That is big things. Who are
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we looking at during O t S. Three guys that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: stood out this week and last week. We'll come back
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: on Jaggie Drive Time and talk more about that. Jadge

  Speaker 1: football throwing that gets me. I was a big wrestling
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: fan growing up, like w W was my thing. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: think I read that one yes, and now that my
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: worlds are colliding, Oh my gosh, I never thought it'd
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: come true. Still a big John and a fan. Heck yeah,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: j C lover once to three eight was my first email.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I lost a lot of fans lately. What not me
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: for his China thing? You didn't follow that? No, I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: only see they You might go look it up, go
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: watch his video. Yeah. Needless to say that this place
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: was becoming an entertainment all things around it just not football.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Um yeah, yeah. As a kid, I used to watch
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Gordon solely broadcasting Dusty Rhodes and things. They're way way
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: before your time shellin So it's it's a it's entertained,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it's entertained. It is all right. Let's go back to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: football and O T A S this week. So we
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: got to watch a full practice Lacks last week and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: there were three guys that stood out to us, maybe
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: more than others. So, Brian Sexton, you are up. Jordan Smith,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the the pass rusher from U A B. And again,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: expectations for what he'll do this year are not very high.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: They said it on draft weekend that this was lightning
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in a bottle. But you can see right there just
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: how tall, broad and long he is. I mean, if
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you're looking for an edge rusher for this three or
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: four defense, that's what you're looking for. You don't find
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: many guys on the planet. They have that combination of size,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: length and speed. Um again, I'm watching him because I'm
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: looking and thinking what will he be in three years
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: if he develops, because remember he was a Florida sign a.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who had sec ability. Okay, now,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: can you get that out of him in the NFL.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: If you can you've got a guy that can be
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a massive edition with Josh Allen and can Von Chason.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Holy cow. I mean, you can really have something special
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: there that that's on the edge, that's down the road,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: but it's undeniable physical ability. Well, it's the kind of
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: thing you can do that. Again, when I covered the Colts,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: they brought in Robert Mathis one year in two thousand three.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I believe at three or four sacks. He shined at
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the end of the year with the idea that he
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: could develop the next season. Uh, this feels a little
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: bit like that to me. Matthews went to a significally
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: smaller school, but the same sort of developmental project. Uh,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: he was impressive. Psycho man hurts. Now is that you
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: can just go ahead with your um you know, it's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: it's easy to look at young guys in these things,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and if the tricky part about trying to pick out
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: somebody in O. T A S Is it's very difficult
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to go with interior defensive line and it's difficult to
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: go with offensive one because what are you really going
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to see out of them? I thought last week it
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: might be tricky to go with man Hurts because he
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: is a blocking tight end. Um, there was a little
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: bit of a rumbling when they first signed him to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: look out that this guy might be more than just
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a blocking tight end. The catch he made, I think
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: they're shown it here. Um. The catch he made, uh
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: one O t A catch doesn't make him Travis Kelsey,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: but it was impressive enough where you thought, Okay, he's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: not just going to be lining up as a six
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: offensive tack. We talked about him so much in in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the run game that I've gotten questions in the ozone
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: about well, why don't they just sign him up a
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: tackle and sign a real tight it. Well, he's got
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: enough to be a real tight end. So interested. So
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: he got the impression listening to people talk about Man
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Hurts that he was one of the original seven blocks
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of Granted, right, I mean he's not that Hello. There
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: was afford him offensive line a long time ago. Vince
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Lombardi was part of that team. But they didn't throw
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the ball, They just ran it. You just felt that
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: was all they were gonna do with this kid. But
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: John's point was well taken. That is, he showed athleticism
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to be able to make He's huge, I mean the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: massive body, but he also got off the ground and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: twisted and contorted to be able to take the ball
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: away as you saw from between two defenders. Um, if
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: he can do that for you, wow, I mean that's
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: what I noticed at the tight end position. Nice, That's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: what I was watching down in the mob so much
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: so that Coach Meyer after that practice said, yeah, I
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: think we're going to use him in pass catching. Surprise,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: we might use him there, and that's exactly what we
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: were looking for. All right, speaking of pass catching, come on, Len,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: say his name right, Matt or Baby, how do I do?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I think that's perfect? Yeah, this is a guy that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I noticed. He might have made it the catch of
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the day. It was slightly out of bound, so we
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: can't call it the catch of the day, but if
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it wasn't bounced, it would have been showed off that
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: record breaking forty six five inches at the scouting combine.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: That was a record this year. So this guy has
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a huge vertical leap and it's really gonna be It's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: gonna make it interesting because right now, there are so
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: many talented wide receivers on this team. You don't think
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: this guy that is going to make the roster right now,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: what are you see in that picture? Though I know
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: he's gonna make it interesting. You see the length, You
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: see the flexibility, you see the ability to track the ball.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I mean you you see things that normal people can't do,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: which is why even though he's an undrafted rookie free agent,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he's got a skill set. And if the practice squad
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: is enlarge this year as it has been, I mean,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a guy like this is an absolute no brainer because
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you don't find a lot of guys, even at a
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: position wide receiver where you can find lots of receivers
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that again have his size, his length, and his physical attributes.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: The ability to reach and track and turn for the ball.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: That's what scouts are looking for. Yeah, his vertical leap
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was absolutely crazy in the red zone. And and like
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: we said, this wide receiver group, you love it because
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: they're so talented, there's so many options. I'm really curious
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to see how he pushes this group because he's gonna
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: make it even more interesting. They're not going to get
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: rid of guys who can run and play fast. They're
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: going to figure out a way to keep them. Uh,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and that entails keeping an extra defensive back in the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: practice squad, an extra wider c run the practice squad.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: So uh, they will find room for guys who can
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: run and play fast. Love it's here, It's all that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: is who we were looking at when we come back

• 20:49
  Speaker 1: going to Vancouver. Do you really believe a culture change
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: makes a difference? I am personally leaning know this building
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a new culture business is talking to hear yourself talk hashtag. Well,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I get where he's coming from. And this was a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: much longer email, and the reader made a good point.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: He said, Look, you guys talked about culture change when
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Malarkey came in here. You talked about it when Gus
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: came in here, you talked about when Coughlin came in here,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and then when Kauflin left with Moron. The culture change
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: matters in this way. You have to change the culture
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: as a head coach because nothing works unless the players
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: believe in what you're selling. So there is an element
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of that. Every coach has to change his culture because
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you get to get guys believing. Now that said, there
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: is a uniqueness to what's going on around here. It's different.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It's being backed up by the facilities you see. It's
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: also backed up by an unbelievable amount of winning in
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Urban Myers past, and by having a franchise quarterback. So
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: there are tangible building blocks and elements that go with
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the culture. But this person's point is correct. Culture means
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: nothing in and of itself. It has to be built
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: around something unless you have great players. I mean, you
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: could have bad players and great culture and it doesn't matter, right,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: But good players with a lousy culture usually doesn't work.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: No Urban knows you have to build a culture. But
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: he's also not naive. He knows he has to have
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a good playing twenties six previous seasons. There's ever only
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: been one culture in this building, and that was Tom Coughlin's,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the concentration line that he started early. Jack tried to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: have one. He didn't. He had good players and no culture.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Malarkey wasn't here long enough to establish any culture at all.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Two and fourteen you're out the door. Gus never one,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: So the culture didn't take place, and that was more
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: of a culture of each individual player focusing on himself
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: as opposed it was a different kind of culture. Doug
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: was never a culture guy. Right. You may use the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: word because it's a popular word. The only time there
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: was a culture in this building was when there was
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: an edgy expectation that you would do things right if
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: you did things wrong. With coughlin Man, you heard about it,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and we can tell the stories about guys getting fined
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: for what they were on the airplane, for what they
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: said in the hallway instead of in the interview room.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's just countless examples of it. But the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: culture was we're all about winning here at all times,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and you will do the right things for the right
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: reasons and we will win. No other culture coach here culture,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: no other coach here was ever successful in establishing a culture.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I believe, based on what I've seen and felt on
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the field, Urban Meyer is doing the exact same thing
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that TC did back in those days. There is expectation,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: is a high level expectation. In fact, you heard Brandon
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Linder say it. He said, oh yeah, no, we're getting
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: food and we're getting all of the different uh you know,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the dry needling and the cupping and all those things,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: but we have to give it back on the field. Right. Yeah,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what TC did and other coaches talked about
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: it in their time here, but no one ever got
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: it done. So we'll see the culture doesn't matter unless
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: they win. If they win, you'll see the culture as
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: a primary factor in the way they do business. And
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: if they don't, it'll be Now that's that culture word again. Yeah,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I thought it was funny. And Brandon Leinner's in the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: press conference, it was almost like it was like spoiled.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to know the right word
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: for somebody used the word pampered instead. You guys are
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: being pamperty. What whoa? No, it's my job and this
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: is what I need to succeed. It's not and we
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: have to give it back on the field. Well, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that's the key and what is impressive about Urban And
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: again we were not around him until this all started.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: We saw him from Afar, we saw him in Florida
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: slim as the Gator fans, so she saw it um
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: but his ability two get the message across when Brandon
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: linder said that about giving back what they're getting and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it's not very good at putting but you know what
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Um, that wasn't a surprise to any of us,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: because that was one of the first things urban said
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: out of the box. It's one of the things he
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: said in the second press conference. He has a very
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: impressive ability to make sure that what's important to him
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: about the culture is what he says in the media.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It's what he said to the players. The players have
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: repeated it back to us. It's getting through what the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: culture is supposed to be. Uh Again, none of that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: matters unless you win. But there's a consistency across the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: board that makes you think this cultural will take hold.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Totally agree. One of the other things is he keeps saying,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and we've heard it not players saying as well, that
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: we talked about the draft picks and free agency and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: all these great new guys coming in and coach Meyers like,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: let's not forget about the guys that have been here.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: You know, it's our job to coach these guys that
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: have been in the building. He was saying that from
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the beginning to he's been very uh vocal when he's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: getting he's been giving the opportunity to talk about Josh Allen,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: to talk about Brandon Lender to talk about many guys
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that they've brought back. Uh, because he knows there was
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: more talent here and more building blocks than a one
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and fifteen team would usually have a lot. Obviously, when
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a lot has to go right too. But I think
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: he was I would say surprised, but has been. Uh,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you're taken with how much there already is here? He doesn't.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: He doesn't want people to forget that one final thing
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: on the culture. The reason people call him a culture builder, right,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: which is how a lot of the national media referred
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: to him when he came in, is because he's one everywhere.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: He's been Ball State, Utah, Florida, Ohio States. So guess
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: what happens. The culture takes center stage, this is how
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we do things, and nobody questions it because he's one everywhere.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: He's been three national championships. So if you want to
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: bet on there being a strong culture here, I've been
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: heavily in his favor. Absolutely. Let's go to Fruit Cove, Florida. Michael,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: what do you got for us? You said after free
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: agency you expect all new signings to make the final roster,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: assuming Johnson Jones, chanals chart and Camp our locks both
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Agnue in doorset would be seven receivers. Someone is the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: odd man out here. Well, this reader also mentioned Travis
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: at En. He's gonna play some receiver. I don't think
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you count him as a receiver and you're counting of number,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna be dangerous to try to
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: count up numbers at the receiver position. For this reason,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Jamal Agnew was signed as a returner and a receiver.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: So if this bunch is going to keep guys who
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: can make an impact, Camp is also a guy who
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: can be kept on the practice squad. I still would
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: think all seven of these guys are playing a role
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and are around this franchise in some capacity next year. Also,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: remember the practice squad you can have a veteran or
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: two on it now, whereas before you had to be
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: under a certain year. So you know, I wouldn't say
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Camp is a lock for the I don't know there's
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that many locks for theft. Yeah, I would. I wouldn't
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: put him on it, to be honest with you, but
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he's going to I'd be surprised if he's not around
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: as a practice squad guy. Uh And much like your
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: guy whose name I can't say that they're going to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: find spots for guys they believe can make an impact.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying, well, Philip dor said,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: he hasn't done this, He hasn't done that at in
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the NFL. They signed him for speed. My point when
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I answered this question earli in the offseason, h somebody said, well,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: they signed twelve free agents and they they traded from
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown. Can he really keep all those guys? We'll
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: listening to the coaches talk about it. They weren't just
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: sort of out there signing guys Willie Nelly. They had
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: specific roles they wanted for all those guys. Doors Set
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: was a guy that they wanted because they feel like
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: they need to be explosive. So I think they have
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: a roll for you know. They said about Camp on
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: draft weekend that he was like Jordan Smith we talked
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: about earlier, a guy with the future in mind. Remember
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: when he was a Georgia Tech. They ran a w
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a wing tear, you know, I mean they ran some
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: run intensive off one so a wish bone. Um. No,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: he's a guy that you put on the practice squad
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: if he's not ready to go. And the other thing
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and you touched on this is you can keep a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: guy and just make him a special teams only guy, right,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: just like you keep a long snapper, a kicker, and
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a punter. You you got fifty three, you can keep
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: him if he's that valuable to you. And everybody always
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: focus on theftree and I get that because it's an
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: easy thing to talk about in the all season. Realisticly,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: you put a guy in the practice squad, how often
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: during the course of the season do you see all
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: seven players at a position stay healthy. So usually when
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you're talking about these things with a six round, seventh
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: round pick, they often start on the practice squad for
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: three weeks and then attrition leads you to be on
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the field. So I usually think about a roster or
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: or a group of players as about sixty players rather
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: than fifty three. And even with the practice squad that
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: bumps it up to sixty five or so, because you
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: guys have seen it. The guys are on and off,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: guys come in and out, and you're usually working with
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: about sixty five players as opposed fifty three. Yeah, you're
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: gonna see something totally different. And week four, all right,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: let's wrap it up with Fred, what do you got
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: for us? I am delighted to see we have full
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: attendance for off season. But how does it work for
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: those who have yet to work out contract details? Is
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: there some sort of short term insurance policy to protect
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: them if injury occurs? John, Actually, there is. It's a
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: there's an understanding that if a if a draft pick
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: gets hurt, and this happened with Dante Fowler. We've seen
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: a numerous times that the team and the and the player,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: they negotiate in good faith and the player is signed
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: to a contract that would have been uh commisserate or
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: whatever it is with their draft slot. So uh teams
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: don't go back on that, and they don't try to
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: negotiate it low because of the good faith. And if
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you do it, then all of a sudden, any agent
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to do I mean, it's a bad thing,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and teams don't do it. It's a little different if
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: it's your first ground pick like Fowler was. I mean,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: they guaranteed his contract, fully guaranteed his contract, every penny
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of it. Um, you've got a guy like Jalen Camp
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that gets hurt, they used they've got offsets that they
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: can use to move money around here and there, you know,
• 30:55
