- 1:43Speaker 1: of the room for a flight right here. You get
- 1:45Speaker 1: you a little flight right there. You know, you make
- 1:48Speaker 1: this happen. I mean, this is let's make a send
- 1:50Speaker 1: a text. Come on, come on, Craig. I don't even
- 1:54Speaker 1: know you, Greg, but come on, we're about to know
- 1:56Speaker 1: each other. I uh hey, so a lot going on obviously,
- 1:59Speaker 1: Ota is here. We'll get to Trevor Lawrence and the
- 2:02Speaker 1: negotiations slash conversations that may or may not be going on.
- 2:07Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, remember when Jalen Ramsey said to
- 2:11Speaker 1: back up the Brinks truck. He didn't say it, he
- 2:13Speaker 1: backed up the actual Brinks truck. Remember that. Okay, Well,
- 2:17Speaker 1: this whole Trevor Lawrence contract that's going to be back
- 2:19Speaker 1: in the Brinks truck, though, I'd say, yeah, that's that's
- 2:21Speaker 1: gonna be a really big Brinks truck. We'll keep it
- 2:24Speaker 1: real when we get to that. Coming up in just
- 2:27Speaker 1: a little bit. Organized team activities going on. The Jaguars
- 2:31Speaker 1: are back on the field today. They're off tomorrow, all right,
- 2:35Speaker 1: So they're out there now. They're doing things. The new
- 2:37Speaker 1: defensive coordinators out there, they're implementing some ideas, they're working
- 2:43Speaker 1: players in different spots and that's kind of what this
- 2:46Speaker 1: time of year is for. But before the first organized
- 2:49Speaker 1: team activity practice on Monday, head coach Doug Peterson was
- 2:52Speaker 1: asked what does he expect the next month stay healthy?
- 2:58Speaker 4: You know, it's we're still look this the this next
- 3:02Speaker 4: phase is it's good to be able to do a
- 3:04Speaker 4: little competition and compete against each other, but you know,
- 3:07Speaker 4: within the rules, it's we've got to make sure we
- 3:09Speaker 4: protect each other.
- 3:10Speaker 1: You just don't want the injuries.
- 3:11Speaker 4: We're still again, we're still teaching and learning and developing and.
- 3:15Speaker 1: And you know all of that.
- 3:17Speaker 4: So you know, I don't really go into it with
- 3:20Speaker 4: a lot of depth charts in mind, you know, I mean,
- 3:23Speaker 4: we're trying to get everybody opportunity to put them on
- 3:25Speaker 4: you know, put them on film and see what we
- 3:26Speaker 4: do have.
- 3:27Speaker 1: So that's Doug Peterson and this time of year for Doug,
- 3:30Speaker 1: he gets what this is the the it's very important. Yes,
- 3:35Speaker 1: training camp is where it really gets real going into
- 3:37Speaker 1: the regular season. However, this is the time of year
- 3:40Speaker 1: where you get some things rolling. I think the whole
- 3:43Speaker 1: objective of the OTAs is to get ready for training camp.
- 3:48Speaker 1: And uh, as far as the mental aspect, because once
- 3:52Speaker 1: you hit the training camp then it's about okay, everybody's
- 3:55Speaker 1: got to have the mental aspect of it down. Now
- 3:57Speaker 1: we can actually evaluate the mental ass and also the
- 4:01Speaker 1: physical aspect. I mean, you can only evaluate so much
- 4:04Speaker 1: right now. You might be looking at a lot of
- 4:07Speaker 1: players right now that oh man, they really assimilate the
- 4:10Speaker 1: information quick and when you ask them questions, they give
- 4:12Speaker 1: me the right answer all the time. Well then all
- 4:15Speaker 1: of a sudden it's ninety degrees and it's you know,
- 4:18Speaker 1: on play twenty five, and all of a sudden they're
- 4:20Speaker 1: gassed a little bit and they're getting physically beat up
- 4:23Speaker 1: a little bit. That's when you need to find out
- 4:25Speaker 1: whether they can react or not. And so you can't
- 4:27Speaker 1: evaluate any of that at this time of year. So again,
- 4:30Speaker 1: the OTAs are essentially preparing your team to go to
- 4:33Speaker 1: training camp. And when Doug was d asked about the
- 4:35Speaker 1: goals of the OTA program, the first words out of
- 4:39Speaker 1: his mouth was to stay healthy, and that should be
- 4:41Speaker 1: the number one priority. To stay healthy, but then also
- 4:45Speaker 1: to get healthy because there's numerous guys on his football
- 4:48Speaker 1: team that did not finish last year healthy, some that
- 4:54Speaker 1: may have had to just rehab, some that may have
- 4:56Speaker 1: required surgery, some that may have just required rest. I mean,
- 5:01Speaker 1: and some guys you had, some guys you didn't. So yeah,
- 5:05Speaker 1: getting to training camp with the knowledge to be able
- 5:08Speaker 1: to compete fast in training camp, and then also to
- 5:11Speaker 1: get into training camp healthy is priority number one. Yeah,
- 5:14Speaker 1: everybody has a plan, I guess until they get punched
- 5:17Speaker 1: in the mouth. Right from a player's perspective, and that's
- 5:19Speaker 1: the old Mike Tyson line, right, and you show up
- 5:22Speaker 1: against another team in a preseason game, you realize, oh,
- 5:24Speaker 1: wait a minute, okay, now this is well that's a
- 5:26Speaker 1: little different. That's exactly right, because you know, there there's
- 5:30Speaker 1: no way that you can try to simulate the physical
- 5:35Speaker 1: nature of the job requirement. It just it just doesn't work.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I was having a conversation with a friend of mine
- 5:40Speaker 1: in fact earlier today, and it was brought up and
- 5:45Speaker 1: I was like, look this, you know, the question was
- 5:48Speaker 1: asked about, you know, how you deal with injuries and
- 5:51Speaker 1: how tough some of these guys are. And my response was,
- 5:55Speaker 1: this is the ultimate gladiator sport. It is, and I
- 5:59Speaker 1: don't think there's anything that would compare to football as
- 6:04Speaker 1: far as the way that the guys are willing and
- 6:07Speaker 1: able to sacrifice their bodies to play the game. And
- 6:10Speaker 1: it's not for everybody, and it's not for everybody when
- 6:15Speaker 1: when you have to do that under a lot of
- 6:18Speaker 1: strain and duress, mental and physical, and so that's why
- 6:22Speaker 1: there's not there's not everybody lining up to try to
- 6:25Speaker 1: play football. It's not for everybody. Not for me anymore either.
- 6:29Speaker 1: It was for a long time though. If I could
- 6:33Speaker 1: physically play the game JP I would literally be playing now.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I mean, it's the ultimate gladiator sport. I mean, it's
- 6:43Speaker 1: there's nothing that could compare nothing. I mean, it's just
- 6:48Speaker 1: the adrenaline rush that you get in that sport is
- 6:52Speaker 1: second to none. And that's why, I mean a lot
- 6:54Speaker 1: of times it can be difficult and I don't know
- 6:57Speaker 1: if you went through this when you walk away from
- 6:59Speaker 1: the game or are told you're no longer good enough
- 7:02Speaker 1: to play the game, filling that void somehow, Well, you
- 7:06Speaker 1: never fill the void completely because it's just so unique.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And a lot of people say that, you know, when
- 7:11Speaker 1: they leave the game, they like to try to find
- 7:13Speaker 1: a way to channel some of that energy. But you
- 7:15Speaker 1: can find a way to expend the energy, but it's
- 7:18Speaker 1: hard to channel that energy because because that energy is
- 7:21Speaker 1: so unique. But you just have to realize that. You
- 7:25Speaker 1: know that there are things that last and there are
- 7:27Speaker 1: other things that don't last, and that falls into the
- 7:31Speaker 1: category of not lasting. But it's you know, while it lasted,
- 7:34Speaker 1: it was amazing, you know, and lasted for a number
- 7:37Speaker 1: of years because I started contact football when I was
- 7:40Speaker 1: eight years old, you know, which I think is ridiculous.
- 7:43Speaker 1: By the way, if you're a parent right now, do
- 7:47Speaker 1: not allow your kids to play contact football at the
- 7:50Speaker 1: age of eight. That's insanity. It just doesn't make any sense.
- 7:56Speaker 1: The body, the mind, the brain is all still developing.
- 7:59Speaker 1: That's like a toll know, no, we know so much
- 8:01Speaker 1: more now, but you know, once they get into middle school,
- 8:06Speaker 1: you know, then you can start to bring some of
- 8:09Speaker 1: that in onto the table, but I would even wait
- 8:12Speaker 1: till high school or on ten ten XLAM, Jaguars dot Com,
- 8:15Speaker 1: Jaguars YouTube JP Shadrick Jeff Logman on Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Let's hear from defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen. It's his first year,
- 8:24Speaker 1: of course with the Jaguars, trying to get the new
- 8:26Speaker 1: defense implemented and trying to get a good look at
- 8:29Speaker 1: all the players that are new to.
- 8:31Speaker 5: Him this part of the year and then up in
- 8:34Speaker 5: a couple of first couple weeks in camp. We have
- 8:36Speaker 5: an idea, we have a really good idea, but we're
- 8:39Speaker 5: still we're still in that process of moving guys around.
- 8:43Speaker 5: The more you can do, you know, and I think
- 8:46Speaker 5: you can play a lot of years in this league
- 8:47Speaker 5: if you can do more jobs. And so we don't
- 8:49Speaker 5: want to just pigeonhole guys right now. And hey, this
- 8:52Speaker 5: is this now. There are certain guys on our defense
- 8:54Speaker 5: that you know are gonna play a certain position. You know,
- 8:58Speaker 5: Devon Hamilton, he's gonna play defensive tower. We know that, right.
- 9:01Speaker 5: But some of these guys that can play two or
- 9:03Speaker 5: three positions, we're going to put them at these different positions.
- 9:06Speaker 5: In these OTAs, it's a great opportunity to see what
- 9:09Speaker 5: guys can do.
- 9:10Speaker 1: That's right, Nielsen, defensive coordinator, And I think we've seen
- 9:13Speaker 1: that first at least the one day that we were
- 9:16Speaker 1: able to be out there as the media. Yeah, they're
- 9:19Speaker 1: moving guys around in different formations, and is what you
- 9:22Speaker 1: should do. The one thing I think by that you
- 9:24Speaker 1: also accomplished by moving guys around and we're not again
- 9:28Speaker 1: he said, you're not moving to Von Hamilton linebacker or
- 9:31Speaker 1: the corner. I actually think that they should do that
- 9:33Speaker 1: at times, just see if you can move around. Well.
- 9:38Speaker 1: The reason I say that, and I'll kind of relate
- 9:40Speaker 1: it to more position specific first, because if you know
- 9:47Speaker 1: what everybody is doing. For example, let's say you and
- 9:50Speaker 1: I are both defensive linemen. You're a tackle, I'm an end. Okay,
- 9:53Speaker 1: because I'm a little more athletic than you, you're a
- 9:55Speaker 1: little bit bulkier than me, so your defensive tackle three technically,
- 10:01Speaker 1: ok Yeah, you got a little bit of I'm good
- 10:04Speaker 1: with that. If if I line up, even though I'm
- 10:08Speaker 1: just let's say I'm a pure defensive end, let's and
- 10:10Speaker 1: if I line up at your spot and I get
- 10:14Speaker 1: a really good understanding of what you're doing that actually
- 10:17Speaker 1: can help me understand the whole mechanism and help me
- 10:21Speaker 1: understand the whole process. Uh. For example, if you're trying
- 10:26Speaker 1: to figure out how to fix a bike, and if
- 10:29Speaker 1: you just know that this little bolt right here is
- 10:31Speaker 1: designed to hold that on, but if you know the
- 10:33Speaker 1: whole function of that bolt as it relates to the
- 10:36Speaker 1: entire bike, it's a little bit easier to learn because
- 10:39Speaker 1: it's a system. I think systems are easier to learn
- 10:41Speaker 1: when you understand what the different components do. At least
- 10:44Speaker 1: it always was that way for me. So if you
- 10:47Speaker 1: have a Devon Hamilton who also is mainly a nose tackle,
- 10:50Speaker 1: then you can also flip into three. Okay, maybe even
- 10:53Speaker 1: flip in the end at times at this time of year,
- 10:55Speaker 1: because that way it just gives him an understanding, Okay,
- 10:58Speaker 1: here's what I'm doing, and maybe this is what I'm
- 11:00Speaker 1: doing because he's doing that, so that you get a
- 11:03Speaker 1: little bit understanding of the whole process. Now, it would
- 11:06Speaker 1: be awesome if you could play maybe a corner in
- 11:08Speaker 1: at defensive tackle and then he would understand why his
- 11:11Speaker 1: coverage is doing what he's doing from a covered standpoint,
- 11:14Speaker 1: because it relates to what the front's doing. That's a
- 11:16Speaker 1: little bit much. But in the real world, would it
- 11:20Speaker 1: be possible to do so? Would it be capable do that? Mentally? Maybe?
- 11:25Speaker 1: But it's good that Ryan's moving guys around like that
- 11:28Speaker 1: just because it does help him understand the defense and
- 11:30Speaker 1: the move around from this perspective is, you know, probably
- 11:33Speaker 1: linebacker's playing all three type of positions right just to
- 11:36Speaker 1: see if you know, what looks different, and then right
- 11:39Speaker 1: corner playing the left safety is interchangeable, nickel safety playing
- 11:44Speaker 1: right in, right in playing the left end. I mean yeah,
- 11:47Speaker 1: but I mean there's some guys that you know that,
- 11:49Speaker 1: like Antonio Johnson, for example, the rookie who we felt
- 11:53Speaker 1: and I believe is going to be a really good
- 11:55Speaker 1: football player, is a safety. Last year he played nickel,
- 11:59Speaker 1: so he's probably going to get some snaps at nickels,
- 12:01Speaker 1: get some snaps at safety, and you know what, why
- 12:03Speaker 1: not try him some snaps out at corner. I mean,
- 12:06Speaker 1: he's got a unique physical skill set. I mean, so
- 12:09Speaker 1: there are some guys that had the ability to multitask,
- 12:12Speaker 1: and he used Ryan just used a line that actually
- 12:15Speaker 1: goes back to the early days of the New York Jets.
- 12:19Speaker 1: The head equipment manager there, which was Bill Hampton Senior,
- 12:22Speaker 1: used that line all the time. It was then I
- 12:25Speaker 1: actually use that in my speech the other day about
- 12:28Speaker 1: Ryan Sexton. Anyway, it's on the sidebar and Bill Hampton
- 12:31Speaker 1: Senior told me this, and the line was the more
- 12:35Speaker 1: you can do, young man, the more you can do.
- 12:38Speaker 1: And he was telling you that because he wanted you
- 12:41Speaker 1: to understand that you have more value the more that
- 12:43Speaker 1: you could do as a football player. But on a
- 12:46Speaker 1: side note, he also was telling you that because he
- 12:48Speaker 1: wanted you to help fold the towels in the laundry
- 12:51Speaker 1: room and equipment room, and we did. We actually used
- 12:53Speaker 1: to go in there and help the fold towels. But
- 12:55Speaker 1: it was it's a very telling, very informative line, and
- 12:59Speaker 1: it's something in foot ball it definitely applies. The schedule
- 13:03Speaker 1: is finally here and you don't want to miss you
- 13:06Speaker 1: don't matchups, you don't like it. Well, we'll get to
- 13:08Speaker 1: that in the moment. I don't mind. Can I just
- 13:11Speaker 1: read the promo first? Say whether you want to become
- 13:14Speaker 1: a season ticket member there's three or more games with
- 13:17Speaker 1: the bundle at the bank, or experience the season with
- 13:19Speaker 1: the prow pass. Well, there's a plan for every fan logs,
- 13:24Speaker 1: get locked in Jaguars dot com, slash tickets or call
- 13:27Speaker 1: nine oh four six three three two thousand. That's too strong.
- 13:31Speaker 1: I do like the schedule. We'll come back and kind
- 13:34Speaker 1: of touch of this. I want to because there are
- 13:35Speaker 1: parts that you don't like. There are some I think
- 13:37Speaker 1: more difficult parts than others. You you want to have
- 13:41Speaker 1: this silver platter schedule? Yeah, well who doesn't. Okay, Well
- 13:46Speaker 1: we come back. I want to get your thoughts because
- 13:48Speaker 1: we haven't talked about it. I'll give you my thoughts
- 13:50Speaker 1: and then I want to get your thoughts because I
- 13:52Speaker 1: want to know what you would change to that schedule
- 13:55Speaker 1: to make it better. Well, yeah, okay, let we'll come
- 13:59Speaker 1: back in a moment. You got like two minutes to
- 14:01Speaker 1: think about this. Jaguars Happy Hour brought to you by
- 14:04Speaker 1: Ancient City Brewing Taste history, make history.
- 14:15Speaker 6: And I can't attack it what you same in titles
- 14:17Speaker 6: last year because I want different results, So I take
- 14:20Speaker 6: you doing the same thing, inspect different results. So I
- 14:22Speaker 6: try to change it up and just keep get bigger.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Fast and stronger.
- 14:26Speaker 6: And for that I kind of took it back to
- 14:27Speaker 6: like my college workouts this year, just focusing on just
- 14:30Speaker 6: muscle mess stuff like that, just to try to just
- 14:33Speaker 6: get bigger so that throughout the season I'm able to
- 14:36Speaker 6: withstand all those hiss and all those bows, and I
- 14:38Speaker 6: kind of know what it tastes to be in the
- 14:39Speaker 6: league nine to full seventeen games, So I kind of
- 14:42Speaker 6: know what's the type doing offseason now.

- 16:03Speaker 1: then after the game, all of a sudden you're like,
- 16:04Speaker 1: where do they all go? Yeah, it's very different that
- 16:08Speaker 1: they Yeah, especially yeah, especially there. Take a train walks
- 16:12Speaker 1: through some neighborhood and boom, there's a stadium. You're like,
- 16:14Speaker 1: how did they get a stadium here? Yeah? How did
- 16:16Speaker 1: they get like any kind of construction equipment to redo

- 16:27Speaker 1: YouTube JP Shadwick. That's Jeff Loghman. A little bit later
- 16:31Speaker 1: and probably about ten minutes or so, we'll keep it
- 16:34Speaker 1: real with the quarterback contract conversation. We'll see, Yeah, that
- 16:39Speaker 1: that scened. Was that a sigh? What was that? Was
- 16:41Speaker 1: that reaction? No, that was just like hmm okay, that's
- 16:45Speaker 1: like that's a lot your dress. It's almost a lot
- 16:47Speaker 1: of money. It's almost like you're dreading talking. No, no, no, no, no, no,
- 16:50Speaker 1: that's I don't dread talking about that at all. I
- 16:53Speaker 1: just hope that that this contract is aggressively pursued because
- 17:01Speaker 1: there are two things that you've learned as a team,
- 17:04Speaker 1: I think, and that if you wait, it can cost
- 17:05Speaker 1: you a lot of money, Josh Allen. And the other
- 17:09Speaker 1: lesson that can be learned by watching another team is
- 17:12Speaker 1: look at the Dallas Cowboys right now. They're in a
- 17:15Speaker 1: tough situation with Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott holds a lot
- 17:18Speaker 1: of leverage right now because your cap hit is so high.
- 17:20Speaker 1: All right, let's save the rest of this for keeping
- 17:23Speaker 1: it real about ten minutes or so, which is a
- 17:24Speaker 1: little previous. I love that. Yeah, not that. I kind
- 17:28Speaker 1: of see where you might be thinking, let's get it done.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Schedules out. We haven't spoken since the schedule. We have
- 17:34Speaker 1: not came out on the fifteenth, did it. I don't
- 17:38Speaker 1: it was the fifteenth. It was like a Wednesday, like Wednesday,
- 17:41Speaker 1: Wednesday a week ago. Yes, the fifteenth. Yeah, you said
- 17:45Speaker 1: I didn't like it. That's too that's too aggressive. That's
- 17:49Speaker 1: too aggressive. No, no, that's really not Actually I was
- 17:52Speaker 1: using your exact words. No I didn't. I said it
- 17:55Speaker 1: said it's tough. There's some tough stretches. So I said
- 18:01Speaker 1: three out of the first four on the road against
- 18:03Speaker 1: playoff teams. Mm hmmm. I think that's a tough stretch
- 18:07Speaker 1: by definition. If you're a good team, you can manage this.
- 18:10Speaker 1: If you're a bad team, you're gonna get blown out anyway. Okay,
- 18:12Speaker 1: no matter the schedule. Right, let's get specific about these
- 18:17Speaker 1: teams because you're you're you're sitting there going, oh wow,
- 18:19Speaker 1: playoff team at the Dolphins, the fastest ofphense in football.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Browns come here, Miles Garrett. Right, we'll see what. Okay,
- 18:29Speaker 1: but last time I checked last year in Cleveland, if
- 18:32Speaker 1: you just played well, you'd won that game. Okay, And
- 18:34Speaker 1: they don't have ay have a quarterback situation that is unresolved,
- 18:38Speaker 1: but they play really good defense. Yes, correct, thank you.
- 18:41Speaker 1: At the Bills Monday Night Football, I've lost a lot
- 18:44Speaker 1: of there's been a lot of a lot of subtractions
- 18:46Speaker 1: with that roster, and there has not been a lot
- 18:48Speaker 1: of addition of the Jags beat them last year, that
- 18:51Speaker 1: beat them and not like three guys out of the game,
- 18:54Speaker 1: and then at Houston, which is obviously with what happened
- 18:58Speaker 1: last year, a big deal. So I think those are tough. Man. Well,
- 19:01Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think the Cults are going to
- 19:03Speaker 1: be tough in Week five too, because it's a division opponents.
- 19:06Speaker 1: So I look, I mean, you got you gotta play
- 19:09Speaker 1: teams that are you know, that are good at some point.
- 19:11Speaker 1: I mean, you can't just sit there and play a
- 19:12Speaker 1: bunch of pansies you can't control you play. It's like, okay,
- 19:18Speaker 1: let me ask you. Yes, it's an NFL schedule, they're
- 19:20Speaker 1: all hard. If you could replace those four teams, okay,
- 19:25Speaker 1: with four other opponents, okay, from the rest of your
- 19:29Speaker 1: schedule okay, and just off the top of your head,
- 19:34Speaker 1: who would you put in there? I put the Titans earlier, Okay,
- 19:40Speaker 1: what else? That's one team the Bears maybe, yeah, maybe
- 19:45Speaker 1: earlier Caleb Williams, but they're coming up rosis yeah, So
- 19:49Speaker 1: just the next good defense. Next stretch is Week six
- 19:52Speaker 1: and Week seven, possibly rookie quarterbacks against you the Bears
- 19:55Speaker 1: and the Patriots in London. Well, so you'd like to
- 19:56Speaker 1: have the Bears and the Patriots and the Titans. Well,
- 20:00Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind the Titans. There's two Titans games in
- 20:02Speaker 1: the last five weeks of the season. Okay, that's good,
- 20:05Speaker 1: which couldn't be good if it's good, you know whatever.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Most schedules are division heavy towards the end. I'm like, fine,
- 20:11Speaker 1: makes things to interesting. So in theory it's the last stretch,
- 20:14Speaker 1: maybe you can, you know, make a run, right if
- 20:17Speaker 1: some of these teams aren't as strong in theory, you
- 20:18Speaker 1: don't know, it's all in theory. These teams could stink
- 20:22Speaker 1: in the first month. I don't know, yeah, because I
- 20:23Speaker 1: mean the NFL is such a year to year thing.
- 20:26Speaker 1: You don't know that. That's why I'm not such a
- 20:28Speaker 1: week one if it had San Francisco, Kansas City up
- 20:35Speaker 1: there with I mean, who else are to consider the
- 20:38Speaker 1: top teams? Dallas has always been good really early in
- 20:41Speaker 1: the year. Okay, then I would be okay, you know
- 20:45Speaker 1: that's that's a tough start. But you know how look Cleveland,
- 20:49Speaker 1: last time I checked their offense is just kind of
- 20:51Speaker 1: And they have a quarterback who got a bunch of
- 20:54Speaker 1: guaranteed money who has done nothing yet he done nothing. Okay,
- 20:58Speaker 1: Week one, Okay, with the Miami Dolphins, did you see it,
- 21:01Speaker 1: by the way, did you see how they finished last year?
- 21:04Speaker 1: It was a whimper going out at the end of
- 21:06Speaker 1: the year last year. Okay, Yeah, they were fast last year,
- 21:10Speaker 1: and yeah they scored a lot of points last year,
- 21:12Speaker 1: but at the end of the season, how do they look? Right?
- 21:15Speaker 1: But you never I mean, that's I'm with you. But
- 21:17Speaker 1: it's in Miami. It's gonna be hotter than Blaze. I'm
- 21:20Speaker 1: just glad that. Look, this team at Buffalo is in September,
- 21:26Speaker 1: Ninetycember trip to Buffalo. Yeah, so I'm going to complain
- 21:29Speaker 1: about that. Let's look at the positive. It could be
- 21:31Speaker 1: a difficult place to play. I get that right, in Buffalo,
- 21:35Speaker 1: way better than snowballs in December. Tell you that. Next
- 21:39Speaker 1: stretch at London, of course, the Bears at Spurs, and
- 21:42Speaker 1: then the Patriots at Wembley, possibly two rookie quarterbacks. Then
- 21:46Speaker 1: it's back home against Green Bay and a surging time
- 21:50Speaker 1: in the Packers, an up and coming team maybe. Okay,
- 21:54Speaker 1: with Jordan Love. And then at the Eagles and that
- 21:58Speaker 1: team that's a team that's ruggled last year and a
- 22:01Speaker 1: team that's undergone some change. You know, they've gone undergone
- 22:06Speaker 1: some change on both sides of the ball. From a
- 22:09Speaker 1: coaching standpoint, you know, how will that look in Philadelphia?
- 22:13Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting wass Sunday night football in
- 22:16Speaker 1: South Philly. And then home against the Vikings. I'm thinking
- 22:19Speaker 1: Chief Steaks too, now, all of them. I'm gonna hit
- 22:23Speaker 1: both of Tony Luke's all sorts of I'm not Tony Luke's. Yeah,
- 22:28Speaker 1: but gat the one. You get one and then you
- 22:32Speaker 1: go to the other one, get another one. Yeah, why
- 22:33Speaker 1: wouldn't you right across the shi chief Steak trup. Yes,
- 22:36Speaker 1: it is usually is Vikings at home. After that, then
- 22:40Speaker 1: at the Lions. Who's gonna play quarterback for them? You
- 22:43Speaker 1: think it's a great question either way. The Lions will
- 22:48Speaker 1: be good. The Lions are gonna be I think they're
- 22:50Speaker 1: gonna be It's a tough place when they're good. I'm
- 22:52Speaker 1: just glad we're not going to Detroit on Thanksgiving, so
- 22:55Speaker 1: that's another positive. JP. A lot of Jaggs fans on
- 22:59Speaker 1: social media were kind of pulled for that in the
- 23:02Speaker 1: build up to the schedule. I like, thanksgaving at home.
- 23:06Speaker 1: It's and that's you got to think about it too.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Obviously it's a short week. That's my favorite holiday road
- 23:11Speaker 1: game on a short week, twelve thirty kick on a Thursday.
- 23:14Speaker 1: I mean, that's in Detroit, and that is like their
- 23:17Speaker 1: super Bowl there. It's a big deal. Well, I think
- 23:19Speaker 1: every game is like they're going to be a super
- 23:21Speaker 1: Bowl in Detroit for their their fan base. They don't
- 23:23Speaker 1: think they were sold out a month ago. They're yeah,
- 23:25Speaker 1: they're they're from a from a season's ticket standpoint. Yeah,
- 23:29Speaker 1: they're back. It's uh. And then he just gave Jared
- 23:32Speaker 1: Goff what do you give him? Like fifty million a
- 23:33Speaker 1: bunch of money. I'm on Ros saying Brown got a
- 23:35Speaker 1: big payday already as well, Pina Suel, Yeah, they've paid
- 23:39Speaker 1: a bunch of people. They've paid a bunch of guys,
- 23:41Speaker 1: And what Jared Golf got has a lot I think
- 23:45Speaker 1: a lot of impact on Trevor Lawrence and other quarterbacks
- 23:52Speaker 1: around the league. We'll get to that in just a
- 23:55Speaker 1: little bit by week Week twelve and then Week thirteen
- 23:59Speaker 1: against the Texans, and that as that is Thanksgiving weekend
- 24:04Speaker 1: at home. That's a real positive there where we get
- 24:07Speaker 1: to spend Thanksgiving that home and then have a home
- 24:10Speaker 1: game that weekend. I mean, and that's that's a big game.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I mean, folks, if you if you want to talk
- 24:16Speaker 1: about a big game like one of those must see games,
- 24:20Speaker 1: the Houston Texans coming to Jacksonville Thanksgiving weekend? Are you
- 24:24Speaker 1: kidding me? Okay, if you've got family rolling in, get
- 24:28Speaker 1: your tickets now for that one, because that's gonna be
- 24:30Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a marvelous game. Until now,
- 24:32Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com s chick round. He's got three legitimate
- 24:36Speaker 1: wide receivers, does I mean? I mean, I'm talking three
- 24:39Speaker 1: legit as long as one of them can maintain his focus,
- 24:44Speaker 1: which will be interesting.
- 24:45Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 24:45Speaker 1: And then at the Titans, which is just Nashville right
- 24:48Speaker 1: week fourteen. Here's the thing about them, what are they doing?
- 24:51Speaker 1: You don't know, you don't know. I'm not a fan
- 24:54Speaker 1: of what they're doing in Nashville, which is good for
- 24:57Speaker 1: this team. They drafted a defensive t ac Devandre Sweat,
- 25:01Speaker 1: who's overweight, out of shape and has issues. Okay, what
- 25:09Speaker 1: round did they pick him? And it was high and
- 25:12Speaker 1: they drafted have been around that. You just go, no,
- 25:15Speaker 1: you can't take that kind of a risk. And he's
- 25:18Speaker 1: not that type of player. But I'm sitting here in
- 25:22Speaker 1: the back of mine, I'm going, what are you doing?
- 25:24Speaker 1: And then I'm thinking that's good though, because it's in
- 25:27Speaker 1: a division. Yeah, go ahead, good, yeah, go ahead and
- 25:30Speaker 1: screw it up, Go ahead, screw it up. Week fifteen,
- 25:34Speaker 1: the Jets come to town. We'll see what Aaron Rodgers
- 25:36Speaker 1: is doing by that time of year and what the
- 25:38Speaker 1: team has even be walking I don't know. And then
- 25:43Speaker 1: week sixteen, weekend before he by the way, what was
- 25:46Speaker 1: he thirty forty? Is he forty forty? Yet he's like
- 25:50Speaker 1: thirty eight. He's got to be I mean pushing forty, right,
- 25:54Speaker 1: And then we may get Gardner Minshew the week after
- 25:57Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. How about that? From Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah,
- 26:01Speaker 1: And then yeah at the Raiders the weekend before Christmas,
- 26:04Speaker 1: So from Aaron Rodgers to potentially Gardner Minshew. Wow. And
- 26:07Speaker 1: then the Titans at home week seventeen, and then at
- 26:10Speaker 1: the Colts week eighteen to close it up before the
- 26:14Speaker 1: last six in the division, all six in the AFC,
- 26:16Speaker 1: and remember last year it was a three way race
- 26:20Speaker 1: and with what three teams? Was it the Jags and
- 26:24Speaker 1: then the two opponents that you have to finish the
- 26:26Speaker 1: season out. So do you don't think that the league
- 26:28Speaker 1: identified what happened last year and said, hey, let's go
- 26:31Speaker 1: ahead and get that same kind of exciting finish in
- 26:34Speaker 1: that division to happen again. I mean, I think that's it.
- 26:38Speaker 1: I like that schedule. JP. I'm totally on the opposite
- 26:40Speaker 1: side of the fence of you. Well, I didn't say
- 26:42Speaker 1: I didn't like it. I never said I didn't like it.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I said there are some difficult stretches, especially early. I
- 26:47Speaker 1: think you said he didn't like it. It's not what
- 26:48Speaker 1: I was trying to soften your stands a little, not
- 26:50Speaker 1: at all now. I mean, those can be tough stretches,
- 26:53Speaker 1: Am I not wrong? It's the NFL, JP, They're all
- 26:56Speaker 1: tough stretches. I get that. Yeah, but three or four
- 26:59Speaker 1: in the row to start, I think it's a question.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Here's a trivia question for not even unless we're just
- 27:03Speaker 1: a road to you all of a sudden, where you
- 27:05Speaker 1: know superstars in the room. I want to get your thought, okay,
- 27:08Speaker 1: because you know a lot of times you go and
- 27:09Speaker 1: you look at the schedule and you go, yeah, this
- 27:10Speaker 1: team is really going to be tough because they were
- 27:12Speaker 1: tough last year. Or hey, they just got this guy
- 27:15Speaker 1: in free agency at quarterback or this guy in free
- 27:17Speaker 1: agency at this position is going to make them a
- 27:19Speaker 1: tough opponent. Give me one opponent that you think is
- 27:24Speaker 1: going to be surprisingly good this year that the Jaguars
- 27:29Speaker 1: will face like a team that most people aren't expecting
- 27:32Speaker 1: to be good. The Lions are not a surprise anymore. No,
- 27:35Speaker 1: they're going to be good. No, you know, Texans, we
- 27:41Speaker 1: think they're good. It was one year, right, we'll find
- 27:44Speaker 1: out they got good players, you know. The Uh yeah,
- 27:51Speaker 1: I mean there's the Packers. The Packers are going to
- 27:52Speaker 1: be good. Man, the Packers are going to be good.
- 27:56Speaker 1: I think it's going to be really interesting. And uh,
- 27:59Speaker 1: I think you got to have a good quarterback or
- 28:01Speaker 1: a young quarterback that's up and coming to be able
- 28:03Speaker 1: to be one of those teams you could surprise team.
- 28:07Speaker 1: And Jordan Love, I think is one of those guys
- 28:08Speaker 1: that could become that. When they went to Detroit and
- 28:12Speaker 1: beat them last year, Can Raiders be a team like that?
- 28:19Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew what's the other guy's name? Another quarterback? He's
- 28:24Speaker 1: so good. I can't even remember his name. No common right,
- 28:31Speaker 1: going to say Aiden Hutchinson, It's not it's not him.
- 28:34Speaker 1: He's in Detroit. You got a point. And let's see
- 28:38Speaker 1: what Anthony Richardson does with the Colts. He'll be back,
- 28:40Speaker 1: will he be healthy? And I think that that is
- 28:44Speaker 1: going to be the biggest wild card this year for
- 28:50Speaker 1: for the Jaguars as far as opponents go. Could they
- 28:54Speaker 1: be a surprisingly good team? Joe Flacco's the backup now.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, I'm sure is going to help him along.
- 29:01Speaker 1: But can he stay healthy? Number one? Because he didn't
- 29:03Speaker 1: last year? Can he develop into a quarterback? Because right
- 29:07Speaker 1: now he's an athlete that has a big arm. But
- 29:11Speaker 1: do you know what zip code it's going to? And
- 29:15Speaker 1: does he know what time it needs to get to
- 29:17Speaker 1: that zip code? I don't know, But that to me,
- 29:20Speaker 1: that's the biggest wild card this year about the Jaguar schedule.
- 29:24Speaker 1: What will the Colts be? I can tell you this.
- 29:26Speaker 1: They're gonna be pretty good on defense, you know, but
- 29:30Speaker 1: they didn't go out there and add a ton of
- 29:32Speaker 1: free inches. The law to guy that they got in
- 29:34Speaker 1: the draft. Gus Bradley's gonna love him. What's your guy?
- 29:37Speaker 1: I loved him, Gus Bradley's gonna love him too. Guarantee
- 29:40Speaker 1: you that let's come back and we'll keep it real
- 29:44Speaker 1: with the quarterback contract conversation. Is this the right time?
- 29:48Speaker 1: I'm hearing that song and Joe can probably help me
- 29:51Speaker 1: out here. Money money, money, money, money from Philly. Are
- 29:58Speaker 1: you sure about that? Yes? So I thought there was
- 30:00Speaker 1: more than just them that did that. Well, they did
- 30:03Speaker 1: that one, and that's the one. I mean, that's the Okay, Yeah,
- 30:06Speaker 1: that's good. That's good. You're you're up on your music.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Come on, it's your schedule though. Oh wow, Okay, we
- 30:13Speaker 1: had to pick wins and losses. I will do that
- 30:16Speaker 1: another time. Jaguars Happy Hour brought to you by Ancient
- 30:18Speaker 1: City Brewing. Taste History, Make History.
- 30:26Speaker 7: I don't need to be as physical as you want,
- 30:28Speaker 7: but all you have to execute on everyone's gonna be
- 30:30Speaker 7: on the same page. Some of the best offensive lines
- 30:33Speaker 7: I've seen have been physical, yes, but they've all worked
- 30:37Speaker 7: in unison together, so it'll all be kind of working
- 30:39Speaker 7: as I know, one heart beats kind of thrown around
- 30:41Speaker 7: a bit, but all having the same one heart beats
- 30:45Speaker 7: and kind of working together. And that's what the great
- 30:47Speaker 7: thing about it to you is again to figure out
- 30:48Speaker 7: how to be up.
- 30:49Speaker 1: That's Mitch Morse, Jaguars center, free agent signing. Welcome back,
- 30:53Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour, and we're brought to you by
- 30:56Speaker 1: ancient city brewing taste history, make history to do. See
- 31:01Speaker 1: what he has to offer, year number ten in the NFL.
- 31:04Speaker 1: J P Shadwick, Jeff Logaman, he's going to be your
- 31:07Speaker 1: starting center. What do you mean? You want to see?
- 31:09Speaker 1: What he asked? Just a tenth your player? Like, what
- 31:11Speaker 1: you know? What kind of player is he? Let's see.
- 31:12Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a good, solid veteran player. He'll be
- 31:15Speaker 1: an upgrade. Let's see it. I mean, that's the whole expectation.
- 31:17Speaker 1: That's why you went and signed him in free agency,
- 31:19Speaker 1: which is why I asked him about the physical Like
- 31:22Speaker 1: the question I had for him there was, you know,
- 31:24Speaker 1: when do you realize that the physicality is at a
- 31:28Speaker 1: level you guys know it can be now. You don't
- 31:30Speaker 1: know until the season. Obviously you don't know now because
- 31:33Speaker 1: and that was his answer, we don't, we won't know
- 31:35Speaker 1: until later. Now is when you set the foundation for that. Well,
- 31:38Speaker 1: I will say that Mitch Morse is a a very
- 31:45Speaker 1: good center and a lot of people say, well, you know, okay,
- 31:48Speaker 1: we got to get more physical at that position, you know,
- 31:51Speaker 1: make an upgrade from Luke Fortner. Mitch Morse is a
- 31:54Speaker 1: is a good player. He's not Jason Kelsey. Okay that
- 32:00Speaker 1: He's got this guy that can road grade you and
- 32:03Speaker 1: and can lower the pads and drive you off the ball.
- 32:06Speaker 1: He's one of the all time great centers too, feel doubt.
- 32:09Speaker 1: I mean, he's fantastic. Morris is more of a you know,
- 32:14Speaker 1: getting your way tight and but he doesn't get He's
- 32:20Speaker 1: not a guy that's going to root you down two
- 32:23Speaker 1: yards off the ball. That's just not his style. You're
- 32:25Speaker 1: not doing the Philadelphia you know, No, that's stuff. But
- 32:30Speaker 1: I think he's definitely gonna upgrade the position. And I
- 32:35Speaker 1: know that you know that he's not going to be
- 32:36Speaker 1: on his rear end three yards in the backfield. So
- 32:38Speaker 1: I know that they keep, you know, using this language
- 32:40Speaker 1: that this is a competition, which look, it always is.
- 32:44Speaker 1: There's no depth chart right now, Well, there's always competition,
- 32:47Speaker 1: you know, And and they're almost when they talk about
- 32:50Speaker 1: that position, they want to mention Mitch, and then they
- 32:52Speaker 1: feel obligated to mention Luke as well. I mean, look,
- 32:55Speaker 1: Mitch was brought in here for a reason. I mean, okay,
- 32:57Speaker 1: so let's just say that he's going to be the guy.
- 33:00Speaker 1: The reason you got him is because Luke didn't have
- 33:02Speaker 1: the year that you wanted to have. And look, I'm
- 33:04Speaker 1: not trying to criticize Luke. He just got to take
- 33:06Speaker 1: his competition. He always has a chance to win that
- 33:10Speaker 1: job back. Anybody always has competition, Okay, but you don't
- 33:15Speaker 1: need to keep saying well Mitch and then Luke in
- 33:17Speaker 1: the same breath. And Mitch is your guy right now.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Brought him in for a reason. He's your starter, okay,
- 33:22Speaker 1: and then until Luke can be better than him and
- 33:25Speaker 1: show that he's better than him, then Mitch's your guy.
- 33:28Speaker 1: That's just me talking like I think he's going to
- 33:31Speaker 1: be good for this team, good for this unit, the
- 33:34Speaker 1: little leadership on that offensive line, sheriff, I think it's
- 33:36Speaker 1: a good one. The Sheriff's got to get back to
- 33:39Speaker 1: playing well, and I think that there's gonna be competition
- 33:41Speaker 1: for that for him as well. I got to stay
- 33:42Speaker 1: healthy too, all these guys, right, Somebody well, look, these
- 33:46Speaker 1: guys are in their tenth year, okay, and young competition
- 33:50Speaker 1: is the best thing on the planet, even for a
- 33:53Speaker 1: guy in his tenth year. You know, you can't sit
- 33:55Speaker 1: there and say, well, you know, hey, look here's your job.
- 33:57Speaker 1: You know, here's your lunch Paale I have a great day.
- 33:59Speaker 1: You're the man. No, no, you gotta you got Luke Fortner.
- 34:06Speaker 1: I look here, here's your lunch pail. It's got some
- 34:10Speaker 1: extra stuff in there. So let's go. Okay, get to work.
- 34:13Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask what's in there, but okay, let's
- 34:16Speaker 1: vite him in's not for things that he's gonna get
- 34:19Speaker 1: in trouble. And then uh, the same thing goes at
- 34:23Speaker 1: the right guard. Okay, Cooper last year was doing some
- 34:28Speaker 1: good things in training camp and then he had the knee. Okay,
- 34:32Speaker 1: Cooper Hodges, let's go. He actually spoke as well, so
- 34:35Speaker 1: that conversation on Jaguars dot Com, you know, fighting through everything,
- 34:39Speaker 1: was trying to come back, then had to have surgery
- 34:41Speaker 1: and had a setbacks, and some some guys that have
- 34:44Speaker 1: had that ended up having to go that route. And
- 34:47Speaker 1: he'll be I think he'll be complete. He seems like
- 34:49Speaker 1: he's out there. Now let's go, you know, push Brandon
- 34:52Speaker 1: Sheriff take the job if you can. That's what that's
- 34:55Speaker 1: what competition is. You know, it's time for keeping it real.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Presented by insert sponsor here, it's available. Quarterback contract conversation
- 35:10Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. The Jags can negotiate. They have been talking
- 35:14Speaker 1: to each other representatives of Lawrence and the Jaguars representatives
- 35:19Speaker 1: throughout this offseason. Is no secret. Both sides have said
- 35:22Speaker 1: they have talked about things. This is the first offseason
- 35:27Speaker 1: they can negotiate if they were to get something done now.
- 35:31Speaker 1: In theory, it's a future's bet that he's the guy
- 35:34Speaker 1: for the long term because he hasn't statistically put up
- 35:40Speaker 1: year over year massive numbers. Right. No, But as an organization,
- 35:44Speaker 1: the Jaguars certainly feel that he is the franchise quarterback,
- 35:49Speaker 1: not now, that of the future. And the price is
- 35:53Speaker 1: only going to go up, correct, So you got to
- 35:55Speaker 1: do it now, right, Well, you'd like to. There's a
- 36:00Speaker 1: lot of faith I think that you have to have
- 36:02Speaker 1: when you do contracts for for pretty much a lot
- 36:06Speaker 1: of the guys. Some some of the contracts that you
- 36:09Speaker 1: give to guys in the NFL, you're they're proven it,
- 36:13Speaker 1: they've got evidence, and here's the production, here's the contract.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Here's where he falls. Some guys you're trying to predict
- 36:22Speaker 1: where they're going to be. I think Trevor falls a
- 36:25Speaker 1: little bit in that category. Can he be a franchise
- 36:29Speaker 1: guy year in and year out leading this team to
- 36:31Speaker 1: the playoffs? Didn't last year? Had some injuries that obviously
- 36:36Speaker 1: set him back a little bit. But to answer your question, yes,
- 36:41Speaker 1: I think you've got to You got to look at
- 36:43Speaker 1: doing the contract now because the longer you wait, the
- 36:46Speaker 1: more expensive it's gonna get. I believe there are plenty
- 36:51Speaker 1: of signs there that for that Trevor is your guy.
- 36:54Speaker 1: I feel confident that he's that guy now. Does he
- 37:01Speaker 1: need to get better? Yes, I'm not saying that he's
- 37:03Speaker 1: arrived and he's that guy now, But I believe that
- 37:06Speaker 1: he can be one of those elite quarterbacks in this league.
- 37:12Speaker 1: But he's not there yet. So where's that number fall?
- 37:16Speaker 1: And that's kind of the debate, you know, when you're
- 37:19Speaker 1: getting to that contract negotiation. Okay, well, if we believe
- 37:22Speaker 1: he's a franchise guy, franchise guys, you know there's numbers
- 37:25Speaker 1: up here getting what mid fifties. Right, Okay, there what
- 37:29Speaker 1: it is? Yeah, you're probably sitting there thinking, well, you
- 37:30Speaker 1: know he's right here performance wise, but we believe he
- 37:33Speaker 1: can get here. Well, are we paying him where he's
- 37:36Speaker 1: at here? Or are we paying him based on where
- 37:40Speaker 1: believe we believe he can be? And I think the
- 37:43Speaker 1: agents are saying we believe yeah, sure, this is where
- 37:47Speaker 1: he needs to be. You know, the team's going, I'm
- 37:49Speaker 1: sure they're being very fair, but at the same token
- 37:52Speaker 1: going you know, well he's right here right now, you know,
- 37:55Speaker 1: and you know we'd like to see him get here,
- 37:57Speaker 1: but this is where he's at right now. So can
- 37:58Speaker 1: we do it for this number? The agent's going on,
- 38:01Speaker 1: if you believe he's gonna be here, this is where
- 38:03Speaker 1: we got to pay him at. Well, this is where
- 38:04Speaker 1: and then negotiation continues. Right, it's one playoff game. It's
- 38:08Speaker 1: a very complicated negotiation. I don't, I don't. This is
- 38:14Speaker 1: this is not a normal deal, you know, because here,
- 38:18Speaker 1: here's what can happen if it's structured improperly and all
- 38:22Speaker 1: of a sudden things don't work. And I'm not saying
- 38:25Speaker 1: that that's the expectation. I mean, it's reality, right, But
- 38:27Speaker 1: the reality is if something doesn't work, then now you're
- 38:33Speaker 1: looking at a situation that you can't get out from underneath.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Of that's right, if it works out, then and he's underpaid.
- 38:42Speaker 1: And this is the other thing to consider. It's like
- 38:45Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes is vastly underpaid right now. So
- 38:51Speaker 1: the chiefs got to do something to adjust his contract,
- 38:54Speaker 1: and the smart teams will do something like that to
- 38:56Speaker 1: where you adjust a guy that's an elite guy. He
- 39:00Speaker 1: he's underpaid, and you know, let's go ahead and bump
- 39:02Speaker 1: him up. So but it's a very complicated situation that's
- 39:07Speaker 1: old on. You're telling Patrick Mahomes signed a ten year
- 39:10Speaker 1: deal for four hundred and fifty million dollars. Yeah, he's
- 39:13Speaker 1: underpaid forty five on average forty five a year, ten million.
- 39:17Speaker 1: If it's ten year, four hundred million JP, that's a
- 39:19Speaker 1: forty million a year average forty five million a year.
- 39:22Speaker 1: So it's four hundred and fifty Yeah, ten years, four
- 39:24Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollar contract. Forty five million what
- 39:27Speaker 1: a Jared Golf just signed his contract probably more than that.
- 39:30Speaker 1: I don't know, it was like fifty million, right, Okay,
- 39:34Speaker 1: So let's do the math and let's look at the hardware. Yeah,
- 39:41Speaker 1: I mean, is Patrick Mahomes not the best quarterback in
- 39:44Speaker 1: the now? He hits a league, absolutely, and he's signed
- 39:46Speaker 1: this deal after how many Super Bowls? Second one or
- 39:48Speaker 1: the first one? I can't remember. Should anybody make more
- 39:50Speaker 1: money than Patrick Mahomes? I mean in theory no, no,
- 39:55Speaker 1: in reality, no, they made the deal.
- 39:58Speaker 6: No.
- 39:58Speaker 1: I know, I know, I get it at a time
- 40:01Speaker 1: where I was like, you know what I got you? Well,
- 40:02Speaker 1: like you're in security team. I remember when that deal
- 40:05Speaker 1: was done, there were a lot of people that looked
- 40:08Speaker 1: at that deal and said, why did he do that? Because,
- 40:12Speaker 1: I mean, the people that kind of understand the economics
- 40:16Speaker 1: of the game were saying, he did a deal that
- 40:20Speaker 1: was very team friendly for the long term security. But
- 40:25Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like the next year
- 40:28Speaker 1: or two years later, all a sudden, he's underpaid. So
- 40:32Speaker 1: you got one hundred and forty million guaranteed dollars. Did
- 40:36Speaker 1: de Sean Watson get two hundred and forty million that?
- 40:40Speaker 1: Now that is a totally different sce years two hundred
- 40:42Speaker 1: and forty men. Well, I'm just saying I was out there. Yeah, yeah,
- 40:47Speaker 1: see that's right. There hasn't been a contract that's been
- 40:49Speaker 1: done since then that's been anywhere even near that, So
- 40:52Speaker 1: there's somewhere that. Yeah, and we'll see what you know.
- 40:55Speaker 1: I mean the number for Trevor though, to get back
- 40:57Speaker 1: to Trevor, it's got to be over fifty. It's got
- 40:59Speaker 1: to be somewhere in the average of the fifty range somewhere,
- 41:04Speaker 1: which what was the original purchase price of the franchise? Right?
- 41:10Speaker 1: If you want to go to comparisons, I mean you
- 41:13Speaker 1: compare the purchase price of the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise expansion
- 41:19Speaker 1: franchise for a Wayne Weaver and his partners. I want
- 41:22Speaker 1: to say it was like one hundred and sixty two
- 41:26Speaker 1: million or something like that in that range or two
- 41:31Speaker 1: hundred and something million, two hundred and four million dollars,
- 41:34Speaker 1: two hundred and four million dollars. So Trevors for years
- 41:40Speaker 1: is probably going to earn more than the franchise original
- 41:44Speaker 1: purchase price. Let's come back in a moment. You think
- 41:47Speaker 1: you gets done before the season last though, well, because
- 41:53Speaker 1: it's so complicated, I would be surprised. But I hope
- 41:56Speaker 1: it does. I really do. I hope it does. Back
- 41:59Speaker 1: in the mine, we'll take a look at some Microsoft
- 42:02Speaker 1: questions and clothes. It out as Jaguars Happy Hour, brought

- 42:39Speaker 5: Does this guy make us faster, doesn't make us tougher,
- 42:41Speaker 5: doesn't make us a smarter football teams.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Each person takes the information that they've had available to
- 42:47Speaker 1: them and they come with the people. If you're working
- 42:51Speaker 1: in unison, the better you're.
- 42:53Speaker 6: Going to be.
- 42:55Speaker 1: It's a pressure field situation. If you're not taking a
- 42:58Speaker 1: serious why shouldn't take series.
- 43:02Speaker 5: You know you're a scout for football, but you're also
- 43:03Speaker 5: scouting a person.

- 43:47Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shadwick, Jeff Logerman. That is musty TV.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's forty minutes on TV. I mean, is
- 43:55Speaker 1: it now TV or do you say something else? It's
- 43:58Speaker 1: must wash because I mean so many you don't watch
- 44:00Speaker 1: it on TV a lot of time. Yeah, you can
- 44:03Speaker 1: watch it on your phone, your tablet. I mean you
- 44:05Speaker 1: can like scream it to your TV, like you can,
- 44:07Speaker 1: you know, screen mirror to your TV. That if I
- 44:11Speaker 1: actually know how to do that, Wow, believe it or
- 44:13Speaker 1: imagine that. Yeah, it don't hurt yourself. Something that I've learned.
- 44:17Speaker 1: I learned that in the last year. James, congratulations taking
- 44:20Speaker 1: a big step up. That's technology wise. Hey, one final
- 44:23Speaker 1: thought about before we get to the questions of the day,
- 44:26Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawrence Steele, if it is to come down,
- 44:29Speaker 1: if it is for fifty million, whatever it is. At
- 44:32Speaker 1: this point, you thought it was scrutinized already, just wait right,
- 44:37Speaker 1: the spotlight gets really bright. Yeah, yeah, the uh and
- 44:42Speaker 1: the level of scrutiny goes up because the expectations that
- 44:46Speaker 1: are attached with a big contract will make everybody look
- 44:51Speaker 1: at it differently. And that's just the way it is.
- 44:54Speaker 1: I mean, that's part of the job description. When you
- 44:56Speaker 1: look at, Okay, starting quarterback for an NFL team that
- 45:00Speaker 1: has a very lucrative contract, that's what comes with it.
- 45:04Speaker 1: You're going to have a higher level of scrutiny from
- 45:08Speaker 1: the outside from within, and you will also have a
- 45:12Speaker 1: higher level of hands reaching out to try to get
- 45:14Speaker 1: some of that money that you're making. And that's something
- 45:17Speaker 1: that you've got to be prepared for and you've got
- 45:20Speaker 1: that's why, that's why every team looks at franchise quarterbacks
- 45:24Speaker 1: and they do so much due diligence in vetting guys
- 45:29Speaker 1: to find out if they're going to be draftable type
- 45:31Speaker 1: of players at that position, especially and really all of
- 45:34Speaker 1: them because the significant significant amount of money that they're
- 45:37Speaker 1: going to be investing in them, because you got you
- 45:40Speaker 1: got to have the right guy. You've got to have
- 45:43Speaker 1: the right guy. You've got to have the right physical
- 45:44Speaker 1: and mental makeup. And I can tell you this about
- 45:46Speaker 1: Trevor don't. I don't worry one iota about his mental
- 45:53Speaker 1: makeup in this whole situation. Now, I don't worry a bit.
- 45:57Speaker 1: I think he's very special in that regard. Let's get
- 46:01Speaker 1: some Microsoft questions and we put out the cat signal
- 46:03Speaker 1: on social media earlier today. Here's the best we've come
- 46:06Speaker 1: up with at Ratus Johansson. Do we know where the
- 46:09Speaker 1: Jags would play home games during the stadium project? Well,
- 46:13Speaker 1: you know obviously right now. The Jaguars in the city
- 46:15Speaker 1: presented a stadium agreement to the city council a couple
- 46:19Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Now more on the deal at Jacksonville
- 46:21Speaker 1: dot gov. There is no deal in place yet. They've
- 46:24Speaker 1: got to get the vote through the city council and
- 46:28Speaker 1: then through the owners in the NFL. That's all down
- 46:30Speaker 1: the line. Then they would figure that out. But I
- 46:32Speaker 1: think the process has started. I mean they're researching and
- 46:35Speaker 1: looking at potential locations, and everything we've seen reported is
- 46:40Speaker 1: Orlando or Gainsville. Yeah, I don't, yeah, that's all public reporter.
- 46:44Speaker 1: There's a surprise horse in that race, I don't know. Yeah,
- 46:49Speaker 1: so we'll see. But the more horses in the race
- 46:51Speaker 1: the better for the Jaguars. Also, there are community huddles
- 46:55Speaker 1: still left on the schedule, so there are two left
- 46:57Speaker 1: May twenty ninths Sandalwood High School and thirtieth West Side
- 47:01Speaker 1: High School out on Firestone Road, so you can go
- 47:04Speaker 1: ask questions, show support whatever you prefer of all the
- 47:07Speaker 1: leaders involved on both the city side and the Jaguar side.
- 47:10Speaker 1: No RSVP required. Both are from six thirty to eight
- 47:14Speaker 1: o'clock pm A twenty ninth and thirtieth One more question
- 47:17Speaker 1: at coach t Miller, what do you do in the
- 47:19Speaker 1: defensive back room? Depth chart wise who starts and who
- 47:23Speaker 1: plays where? So give us your start in a Nickel
- 47:25Speaker 1: defense logs if you can give us your starting five
- 47:28Speaker 1: right now? Tyson Campbell, Darby, Darby's at court, Antonio Johnson,
- 47:36Speaker 1: Nicol No, I tell you what I'm gonna because you
- 47:40Speaker 1: know you gotta get a draft picked up. I'm gonna
- 47:42Speaker 1: put Jarion Jones in at Nickel. I'm gonna put Antonio
- 47:45Speaker 1: Johnson in at one safety and then Cisco in at
- 47:48Speaker 1: the other. And then if we're gonna play dime, I'm
- 47:50Speaker 1: gonna bring Winger down. You don't think Winger could start? No,
- 47:55Speaker 1: I think you can start. I think, look if you
- 47:57Speaker 1: look at Andrew Winger from a production standpoint, his his
- 48:00Speaker 1: level of production is fantastic, fantastic. I mean I'm talking
- 48:06Speaker 1: not just special teams wise, I'm talking defense. When a
- 48:09Speaker 1: guy's on the field, he makes plays and he brings leadership.
- 48:13Speaker 1: That's what. That's a room that is very deep. Your
- 48:16Speaker 1: safety room, really deep. Even though you said goodbye to
- 48:21Speaker 1: one of them already. Daniel Thomas is a good football player.
- 48:25Speaker 1: DT sure is good football play great on special teams too,
- 48:28Speaker 1: great on special teams. Can outstanding gunner can play also
- 48:32Speaker 1: safety if he were to have to need to be
- 48:35Speaker 1: on the field at that position. So very deep position,
- 48:38Speaker 1: and you've got some guys with some flexibility. So there
- 48:42Speaker 1: you have. Microsoft questions are in for the week. Jaguars
- 48:47Speaker 1: are back on the practice field Tuesday, after the Memorial
- 48:49Speaker 1: Day holiday Monday, and we'll be out there. Media will
