1:19

1:22

1:25

1:28
Speaker 1: a song that says I talk with my hands, and
1:30
Speaker 1: that is exactly what you do. But yes, Leon Seriarus
1:32
Speaker 1: is joining Drive time. Ina. We got a lot to
1:36
Speaker 1: talk about, so let's get into big things. Big thing
1:39
Speaker 1: one is the fundamental So we always look at the
1:41
Speaker 1: schemes and who's the first team and who's the second team,
1:43
Speaker 1: But it's really the fundamentals that this team is focusing
1:46
Speaker 1: on right now. You go back to you football and Brian,
1:48
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about this in a little That's
1:50
Speaker 1: what they're focusing on now. It's the same exact thing
1:53
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Big thing too is John d Filippo.
1:56
Speaker 1: He's a busy guy. He has a lot to worry
1:58
Speaker 1: about with the offensive line, the running backs, especially the
2:01
Speaker 1: wide receivers. We always get the question, who's going to
2:04
Speaker 1: be the one the week of Kansas City. Well, John
2:07
Speaker 1: does not know yet. Everyone's got to prepare like they're
2:10
Speaker 1: gonna open, you know, the the opening day starter because
2:12
Speaker 1: it's a long way to go to we you know,
2:14
Speaker 1: play Kansas City. So you know, our mindset every day
2:16
Speaker 1: is to go out and everyone prepare like they're gonna
2:18
Speaker 1: be the starting at their position, their start at their
2:20
Speaker 1: position against Kansas City. A lot of competition at wide
2:23
Speaker 1: receiver to see who is going to be the true
2:25
Speaker 1: one come regular season. And finally, big thing three is
2:29
Speaker 1: what's wrong? Well, really, nothing's wrong. We haven't had a
2:31
Speaker 1: lot of complaints so far during training camp. It's been
2:34
Speaker 1: a very smooth camp, very efficient timely. None of us
2:38
Speaker 1: have come off the field and said, man, that was
2:39
Speaker 1: a really bad practice yet and that's a good sign, guys. Um, Yeah,
2:43
Speaker 1: you know the interesting part about this and again I
2:45
Speaker 1: wrote this not knowing that you were going to be here. So,
2:48
Speaker 1: uh we talked so much about camp in the first
2:51
Speaker 1: week and it's been well, the quarterback looks good, and
2:54
Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line is, you know, growing as
2:56
Speaker 1: a group. We haven't come off and said, you know,
2:59
Speaker 1: they got a problem here, how they're going to solve that? Well,
3:04
Speaker 1: it's been uneventful and that's what you want. Uh. I
3:07
Speaker 1: think overall, we're seeing the quarterbacks and the receivers start
3:14
Speaker 1: to develop some chemistry, which is a difficult task because
3:18
Speaker 1: they're playing a defense that has a very good secondary.
3:23
Speaker 1: There's a very good pass rush. So there's been a
3:26
Speaker 1: couple of practices where I thought, well, I'd like to
3:28
Speaker 1: see the offense further ahead. Been that, But it also
3:32
Speaker 1: makes sense when you think about it in the scope
3:34
Speaker 1: of the defense that they're playing. So, um, I think
3:38
Speaker 1: we will get a better idea of where the offense is.
3:43
Speaker 1: For instance, after Baltimore next week, I think that will
3:46
Speaker 1: be the first real touchstone. So far, no major injuries
3:50
Speaker 1: knock on whatever this is. And uh, that's why I
3:53
Speaker 1: think it has a very calm feel so far is
3:56
Speaker 1: there hasn't been that big news where everybody's running off saying,
3:58
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, now this position is is all of
4:02
Speaker 1: a sudden a crisis. So let's go back, and I
4:04
Speaker 1: want to touch on the on the top two. Um,
4:06
Speaker 1: the fundamentals thing. If you spend any time listening to
4:09
Speaker 1: the coaches out there, this camp has been heavily focused
4:14
Speaker 1: on fundamentals, and that's a little different than in previous years.
4:18
Speaker 1: All the coaches always talk about fundamentals. You know, they
4:21
Speaker 1: get into scheme and they get into different things. But
4:24
Speaker 1: when you listen to where the foot is placed, where
4:27
Speaker 1: the hand is placed, this camp strikes me as being
4:30
Speaker 1: more in tune with that now they've been a little
4:33
Speaker 1: sensitive to it. I've been taking this USA Football Youth
4:36
Speaker 1: certification so that I can be a youth football coach
4:38
Speaker 1: for one of my kids, and it's heavily influenced by
4:41
Speaker 1: the NFL, by guys like Bill Poleon and Tom Coughlin.
4:44
Speaker 1: And in all of these videos, they don't talk anything
4:48
Speaker 1: about scheme or positional It's all blocking, tackling, foot position,
4:53
Speaker 1: hand position, leverage, the whole nine yards. So I think
4:56
Speaker 1: it's interesting that here you are with two weeks fifteen
5:00
Speaker 1: days of camp before the first game, and they, I think,
5:04
Speaker 1: disproportionate to recent years, are spending an enormous amount of
5:08
Speaker 1: time on the fundamentals out there. Yes, some of that maybe,
5:11
Speaker 1: and after effect of you have a new coordinator, new
5:15
Speaker 1: line coaches on both sides of the ball, uh, and
5:18
Speaker 1: a new running backs coach. So when somebody comes in
5:21
Speaker 1: new to a situation, they tend to sort of go
5:24
Speaker 1: back to basics. So and perhaps emphasized this is what
5:27
Speaker 1: I believe a little more. But you're right there, iss
5:30
Speaker 1: more so than in the past. So as an example,
5:32
Speaker 1: in one of the videos, they talk about pointing your
5:35
Speaker 1: foot at the quarterback. Right, they are talking about defensive lineman, right,
5:40
Speaker 1: youth defensive lineman being able to defeat a block and
5:44
Speaker 1: the best way to defeat it is to have your
5:46
Speaker 1: foot pointed at the quarterback is you try to gain leverage.
5:49
Speaker 1: And Jason Rubovitch, who's the defensive line coach this year
5:51
Speaker 1: New as you mentioned, is saying the exact same thing.
5:54
Speaker 1: If you stand there for five minutes, it's what the quarterback. Hey, look,
5:58
Speaker 1: it's the first week of camp. This might seemed like
6:00
Speaker 1: minutia to a viewer, but the emphasis on fundamentals it
6:04
Speaker 1: has been epic, at least in my mind. And remember
6:07
Speaker 1: it's the only time if you don't cover those things.
6:11
Speaker 1: Now once Baltimore hits, especially once after Philadelphia and you're
6:16
Speaker 1: into that, think about it. In the week of the preseason,
6:19
Speaker 1: you're in dress rehearsal mode. Fourth week, you're trying to
6:21
Speaker 1: decide who to cut. The fifth week, which is the
6:25
Speaker 1: the the irregular season opener. Now your game plan. So
6:28
Speaker 1: you have a very limited time, maybe fifteen days, as
6:32
Speaker 1: you said, to get any of this in and then realistically,
6:35
Speaker 1: on the Wednesday before they're playing the Chiefs, they're gonna
6:37
Speaker 1: spend less time talking about pointing the foot and more
6:40
Speaker 1: time worried about who's across. I get it. It's just
6:44
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting when you talk so much about scheme
6:46
Speaker 1: at this level, you talk about reps and how many
6:48
Speaker 1: reps guys are getting and position groups and all of that. Um,
6:52
Speaker 1: the fundamental stite I think has been big and the flip.
6:54
Speaker 1: I gotta just touch on this real quick. So Flip
6:56
Speaker 1: and I, Uh, since he came in, he has worked
6:59
Speaker 1: out at the same place I do. He comes to
7:00
Speaker 1: the five am class, and I've gotten to know him
7:03
Speaker 1: a bit. And I said to him before training camp started,
7:06
Speaker 1: are you are you gonna still come in to five
7:07
Speaker 1: am class? Oh? Yeah, coming every day. Uh he hasn't.
7:11
Speaker 1: And he showed up the other day and I was
7:13
Speaker 1: giving him grief about it and he turned him. He
7:14
Speaker 1: go leave me alone. I just left the office. Um,
7:19
Speaker 1: this guy, what is he lying about the news or
7:27
Speaker 1: just like I think? I think he's night ol the guy.
7:30
Speaker 1: There's pressure, obviously to take an offense that was horrific
7:34
Speaker 1: last year. At the end of the year, just I
7:35
Speaker 1: couldn't move the ball at all. With a new quarterback
7:38
Speaker 1: and and a new offensive line coach and a new
7:40
Speaker 1: running backs coach. Clip has got a lot of news
7:43
Speaker 1: plate this thing up and running right, and there's a
7:45
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him to get this thing to
7:47
Speaker 1: a point to compliment the defense. And apparently he has
7:52
Speaker 1: been the last guy out of here every night. Um,
7:55
Speaker 1: which you know coaches are infamous for that kind of thing.
7:58
Speaker 1: Just a thought though on how how much pressure there
8:02
Speaker 1: is to get this offense turned around fast, and there's
8:04
Speaker 1: so many You know, if if they were just if
8:07
Speaker 1: they were just changing coaches wholesale, nobody would look at
8:10
Speaker 1: this and go, he's got to do it now. They say, okay, well,
8:12
Speaker 1: it's gonna take him time to bring his scheme around.
8:15
Speaker 1: The guy is working like a night owl, which is
8:17
Speaker 1: saying something because he knows he doesn't have the normal
8:20
Speaker 1: growth curve to build his offense well. And he's also
8:24
Speaker 1: not only is he knew the quarterbacks new. Um, you've
8:28
Speaker 1: got a wide receiver corps that you're one established veteran
8:32
Speaker 1: Marquise Lee isn't out there. So I think when you
8:36
Speaker 1: when people watch this wide receiver corps, they think there's
8:39
Speaker 1: a lot there, there's a lot of potential there, but
8:43
Speaker 1: there's not a lot there that's defined, meaning you're not
8:46
Speaker 1: quite sure who the one is. I think it's gonna
8:47
Speaker 1: be D. D. Westbrook. Uh, He's gonna get the most opportunities,
8:51
Speaker 1: but there's not a lot of defined roles. So he's
8:54
Speaker 1: also not only coming in new but also trying to
8:57
Speaker 1: figure out where some of these new pieces, young pieces,
9:02
Speaker 1: still developing pieces fit. What is Keeling Cole? Uh? Is
9:06
Speaker 1: he two thousand and seventeen or two thousand and eighteen?
9:08
Speaker 1: What is DJ Chark? Is? Is he what you think
9:11
Speaker 1: he's gonna be and what he can be? Because he
9:12
Speaker 1: hasn't been much yet, So there are those things. Uh,
9:16
Speaker 1: I feel like they I'm curious your thoughts on this.
9:21
Speaker 1: I feel like they're after a week, have a good
9:24
Speaker 1: idea of what D. D. Wesperk is, and I feel
9:27
Speaker 1: like they've got a good idea of what Chris Conny
9:28
Speaker 1: is going to be. Those two guys beyond that, Um,
9:33
Speaker 1: some of it still feels like optimism but still hoping.
9:37
Speaker 1: So the first couple of days of watching Fools, it
9:41
Speaker 1: sure seemed like he and DJ Chark we're on the
9:44
Speaker 1: same page. But Chark is still so raw as a
9:47
Speaker 1: receiver in terms of getting his feet down, getting his
9:49
Speaker 1: body positioned right, I think he's clearly the three. I mean,
9:54
Speaker 1: I think I think his his measurables are so tantalizing
9:58
Speaker 1: to a quarterback to see that big body with those
10:01
Speaker 1: long arms moving so fast. If I'm Nick Foles, I'm looking,
10:04
Speaker 1: We're seventeen. Do you trust it yet? Well, no, I
10:08
Speaker 1: can't trust it because the other day at the back
10:10
Speaker 1: of the end zone. J P. Shadwick and I were
10:12
Speaker 1: talking about this about an hour ago. JP, I'm sorry,
10:15
Speaker 1: d J P. Shadwick and I were talking about this
10:17
Speaker 1: an hour ago at the back of the end zone,
10:19
Speaker 1: the catch that he made the other day. Uh, he
10:22
Speaker 1: doesn't look at yeah, right, it's just a matter of
10:25
Speaker 1: getting his feet in his hands and everything together. And
10:27
Speaker 1: and that is a guy who at l s U
10:30
Speaker 1: it was just run, We'll throw you the ball, you know,
10:32
Speaker 1: learning the finer points of being a professional receiver and
10:36
Speaker 1: working the boundaries at the back of the red zone,
10:38
Speaker 1: you know, those are things he still so I can't
10:40
Speaker 1: trust that completely yet, But I'm looking where is seventeen
10:44
Speaker 1: Because he's so long and so fast that I think
10:47
Speaker 1: I can get the ball up and he can go
10:48
Speaker 1: get it even over a defensive back. It feels like,
10:51
Speaker 1: optimistically speaking, NIXT to the point where there's a level
10:57
Speaker 1: of trust developed with Westbrook and Connelly, and I think
11:01
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think I think seventeen is going
11:04
Speaker 1: to have the chance to prove it question and if
11:06
Speaker 1: you know the kid, and I think all of us
11:09
Speaker 1: have some semblance of who he is right now, I
11:11
Speaker 1: think it rise to the occasion. We'll see um. By
11:14
Speaker 1: the way, Nick's gonna hear not Nick uh Flip's gonna
11:17
Speaker 1: hear about this. So I'll report back tomorrow whether he
11:19
Speaker 1: makes it to five am tomorrow or not. We'll see
11:21
Speaker 1: was here this morning? Oh no, no, no, no, no no,
11:24
Speaker 1: no he was not, But I'm expecting it tomorro because
11:26
Speaker 1: someone's going to tell him about this. Poor guys trying
11:29
Speaker 1: to work and lie. Yeah, the liar TV. You know,

13:46
Speaker 1: A welcome back to Jade Drive time Thursday morning, and
13:58
Speaker 1: look who has a practice today? None other than Peyton Manning,
14:02
Speaker 1: who is going to talk to the team's day. Tom
14:03
Speaker 1: Coughlin asked him come out, and there he is at
14:06
Speaker 1: practice today. We're in a jet shirt. Yeah, I'm trying
14:09
Speaker 1: to seek it out of the way everyone. He's a player,
14:11
Speaker 1: so if they gave it to him, I'm sure he's
14:13
Speaker 1: wearing it. I don't think it's a jet Okay, that
14:16
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be the best move. There's some Tennessee colors
14:19
Speaker 1: going up on tops, yeah, which is okay. Yeah, well
14:22
Speaker 1: he's what he wants, alright. So the all we've counted
14:28
Speaker 1: down from and today is number one, and number one
14:32
Speaker 1: is sitting in the other room for his grand premiere
14:35
Speaker 1: of who is the number one on the All Jaguars
14:38
Speaker 1: of all time? Is Tony but sally the Bruce Smith game.
14:42
Speaker 1: I mean, all you have to do is look at
14:43
Speaker 1: the Bruce Smith game. The guy was the defensive player
14:45
Speaker 1: of the year and Tony threw him around like he
14:48
Speaker 1: was a child. Bruce Smith was never the same after
14:51
Speaker 1: that game, and you know was Tony. It's an incredible story.
14:55
Speaker 1: But Sully was the Jaguars first ever draft pick and
14:58
Speaker 1: he is on his way to be the team's first
15:01
Speaker 1: ever Hall of Famer. Jacksonville Jaguars have selected tackle Southern
15:05
Speaker 1: California Tony Sell for him to not only live up
15:11
Speaker 1: to his draft status, but live beyond the draft status,
15:15
Speaker 1: to be a generation to be as good as he was.
15:18
Speaker 1: When he gets in the Hall of Fame, and he
15:20
Speaker 1: will get in the Hall of Fame, it will be
15:22
Speaker 1: the most remarkable story along those lines, maybe an NFL history.
15:30
Speaker 1: Number one on the Jaguars all Tony BASSELLI. He's here
15:35
Speaker 1: to say thanks, number one. How does it feel well?
15:39
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Seat. That's the first
15:44
Speaker 1: thing that has ever been nice for me in my
15:46
Speaker 1: entire life vote for you, John said he voted a
15:50
Speaker 1: number three. Tough. I can say something, but I won't listen.
15:54
Speaker 1: That's a huge honor and it's uh. I love this place. UM.
15:59
Speaker 1: I was actually just talking to Peter King because he's here,
16:01
Speaker 1: uh doing some features and stuff for his uh for
16:05
Speaker 1: the Profitball Talk and NBC Sports site, and we were
16:08
Speaker 1: talking about that. You know. He asked me the question, like,
16:11
Speaker 1: do you ever think about what if you got drafted
16:14
Speaker 1: by the you know, someone else that wasn't an established
16:16
Speaker 1: team like the Giants or the red Skins or whoever.
16:19
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, I mean people bring it up
16:21
Speaker 1: all the time. You know what would it be You
16:22
Speaker 1: could be part of the history of of a great
16:24
Speaker 1: franchise and maybe it'd have been different because you've been
16:27
Speaker 1: recognized more you know who knows. And I said, all possible.
16:31
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't trade getting drafted by the Jaguarsh for anything. UM.
16:35
Speaker 1: To be a part of this organization from the beginning, highs,
16:38
Speaker 1: the lows, UM, to make Jackson my home. I mean,
16:41
Speaker 1: it's been great. And so then to be honored by
16:45
Speaker 1: the media, which I've always had fun going back and
16:48
Speaker 1: forth with and now I'm part of I didn't get
16:50
Speaker 1: a vote, So who would you have voted for? Keep
16:55
Speaker 1: that quiet, uh controversy. We love you Fred Taylor, by
17:01
Speaker 1: the way. Oh, by the way, So and I said
17:02
Speaker 1: on Twitter yesterday, you know, Fred was upset. I tell Fred,
17:05
Speaker 1: you're the greatest in my book, I love them. I
17:07
Speaker 1: think well, and look, let's be fair. You and I
17:09
Speaker 1: were talking the other day and you said, oh, I
17:11
Speaker 1: could make a case for Fred number one. Why Actually, so,
17:14
Speaker 1: like someone asked me the other day, like, what do
17:15
Speaker 1: you think, I'm like, I can make a case for
17:17
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith. Jimmy Smith was the greatest receiver in football
17:21
Speaker 1: for like two or three year a period, like you, like,
17:23
Speaker 1: every team would take him before anyone else, and every
17:25
Speaker 1: dB he was scared of Jimmy. I can make a
17:28
Speaker 1: case for Jimmy being number one on that list. I
17:30
Speaker 1: can make Fred Taylor, who was the most electric back
17:33
Speaker 1: that you know, outside of Barry Sanders, that I've seen play,
17:38
Speaker 1: and he made us look good. And so I can
17:39
Speaker 1: make a case for Fred being number one. We're a
17:42
Speaker 1: little bit surprised, and obviously I can make a case
17:45
Speaker 1: for myself and he has no no, But you know what,
17:49
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I think the all three guys who
17:53
Speaker 1: were in the top three, you could make a case
17:54
Speaker 1: for either one and without any of the three of you,
17:57
Speaker 1: it's not the same. No, I agree, And so those
18:03
Speaker 1: guys are great players. And uh, listen, I'm I'm glad
18:06
Speaker 1: I was number one because we're all competitive. To me,
18:09
Speaker 1: it's never gone away. That's never going away. And part
18:11
Speaker 1: of what Fred's like, he's competitive. I would expect that
18:14
Speaker 1: love else. I love Fred, um, and so I'm glad
18:17
Speaker 1: I'm number one. It's I'm honored to be number one. Uh.
18:21
Speaker 1: And for the media to put me up there, it
18:22
Speaker 1: was great. And I love being a part of this organization.
18:25
Speaker 1: I love living in Jacksonville. I love what we're doing.
18:27
Speaker 1: I love I love hating the team when we don't
18:30
Speaker 1: play well, I mean, I love doing that. I love
18:33
Speaker 1: being loving them when we do well, I mean, I
18:34
Speaker 1: love I love that. It matters to me, and I'm
18:37
Speaker 1: not sure it would have been like I don't know
18:38
Speaker 1: if it would have mattered like it does to me
18:41
Speaker 1: if I had gone somewhere else. There is because of time. Obviously,
18:44
Speaker 1: there's no other organization that has the relationship with their
18:47
Speaker 1: first overall player, the first overall pick like you. I mean,
18:52
Speaker 1: Carry Collins doesn't have it with Carolina who came in
18:54
Speaker 1: at the same time. And David Carr doesn't have it
18:57
Speaker 1: with the Houston Texans. And and if you even went
19:00
Speaker 1: back to the quarterback who was the quarterback taking in
19:02
Speaker 1: ninety the Brands when they came back, Tim Cally, they
19:04
Speaker 1: don't have it there. There is a uniqueness, even though
19:07
Speaker 1: there's no qualities to unique, either unique or not, but
19:10
Speaker 1: there is something unique about the relationship that you have
19:13
Speaker 1: with this franchise that no other player has with their franchise,
19:16
Speaker 1: no other living player. Yeah, and it's I don't know why,
19:20
Speaker 1: um it worked that way. It just did. It did,
19:22
Speaker 1: and I'm happy good for you. And I'll say this
19:24
Speaker 1: for the franchise too. Well, it's it's a two way street.
19:28
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I mean I look at now how
19:32
Speaker 1: I'm treated by this franchise with you know, as Sean
19:35
Speaker 1: Khan as the owner, Mark Lamping is the president, even
19:38
Speaker 1: before Tom came back as the VP of Oops, I mean,
19:41
Speaker 1: you would have thought they drafted me and so they.
19:44
Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a great place to be a
19:46
Speaker 1: part of. And I've purposely said, I want to be
19:49
Speaker 1: a part of this organization in this community. And I
19:54
Speaker 1: remember from the first time we got here, my wife
19:56
Speaker 1: and I, you know, just been married. You know, we
19:58
Speaker 1: were literally married two before camp talk. Yeah, timing great,
20:04
Speaker 1: how's honeymoon, honey um. But we we said, we said
20:08
Speaker 1: from the beginning, like we're making this home, like we're
20:10
Speaker 1: gonna live here, We're gonna be a part of the community,
20:12
Speaker 1: that we're not going back to California, the optins or
20:15
Speaker 1: anything else. Uh, we gotta get we gotta get your
20:18
Speaker 1: step aside because we're gonna bring Leon in here now quick.
20:23
Speaker 1: Getting kicked out. No, no no, But here's the question hurts one.
20:26
Speaker 1: But I have a question. You're you're young enough that
20:30
Speaker 1: when this franchise celebrates anniversary. I hope I'm around. You'll
20:35
Speaker 1: be around the questions. Will you still be number one?
20:38
Speaker 1: It's funny we're talking about that on the field the
20:40
Speaker 1: other day. In my opinion, but not Fred's. I think
20:46
Speaker 1: there's only one guy right now on the roster that
20:50
Speaker 1: I could see being number yeah two point oh. I mean,
20:53
Speaker 1: if Jayley keeps on going the way he's going and
20:57
Speaker 1: does it for a number of years, all of him
21:00
Speaker 1: to be number one. I mean, he's a fabulous player.
21:03
Speaker 1: Because you remember this is this is just about what
21:05
Speaker 1: you do on the field, and that's what it should be,
21:08
Speaker 1: not about involvement the different but it should be about
21:13
Speaker 1: what you do on the field. And if Jalen Ramby
21:16
Speaker 1: right right now, Jalen would be probably top ten. If
21:19
Speaker 1: Jalen continues to progress the way is, I will vote
21:22
Speaker 1: for Jalen number one at fifty if he keeps on
21:25
Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. And now, listen, over years, there
21:27
Speaker 1: might be two or three players I hope. I'm like
21:32
Speaker 1: me and Fred and Jimmy are four or five and six,
21:34
Speaker 1: and there's three great players that come. Because that means
21:37
Speaker 1: our franchise is doing well. I mean, that's what we
21:39
Speaker 1: all want at the end of the day. And you
21:41
Speaker 1: know you're gonna bring me on here, and here's the
21:43
Speaker 1: you know you think about the nineties, I'll take myself
21:47
Speaker 1: out of it. Jimmy Smith, in my opinion for a
21:50
Speaker 1: couple of years, was the best receiver in football. Leon
21:54
Speaker 1: Searcy was the best right tackle in football without a doubt.
21:58
Speaker 1: And then you know Fred was, you know, top five
22:01
Speaker 1: at his position, the top three at times curse alone.
22:06
Speaker 1: But he did. Everybody go watch the tape. I mean
22:08
Speaker 1: the fact that Leon Searcy didn't get more Pro Bowls
22:11
Speaker 1: because it was an era where, uh, left tackle was
22:15
Speaker 1: the Golden age. There was a lot of great left
22:17
Speaker 1: tackles with the Golden Age of gold left um. Leon
22:20
Speaker 1: Searcy was the best right tackle, and you left out
22:23
Speaker 1: Keenan McCardel. Yeah, I'm just talking about the best that
22:27
Speaker 1: he don't know. Hear that. He'll take that. Keenan was
22:31
Speaker 1: my favorite, but he's a little sensitive to being number seven. Well,
22:35
Speaker 1: who was I talking about on the field? I could
22:38
Speaker 1: have argued four and five mm. I think you can
22:42
Speaker 1: flip though to my book. Either way, they're both amazing
22:46
Speaker 1: players and Keenan T Breck I could argue both those
22:52
Speaker 1: Keena McCarthy. All say this about Keenan um. He was
22:56
Speaker 1: of all the teammates I ever played with, he of
23:00
Speaker 1: football more than anybody else. He still does. He was
23:02
Speaker 1: the most competitive person, and he practiced harder than any
23:06
Speaker 1: player I've ever been around, and still have been around.
23:09
Speaker 1: And and I consider myself be a pretty tough playing
23:13
Speaker 1: through injuries and doing stuff like that. Jane mccartell was
23:16
Speaker 1: the toughest dude on this football team. Yeah, he played.
23:18
Speaker 1: I mean, people forget Keene mccartell played with a broken
23:21
Speaker 1: wrist in a playoff game, broken cast on and had
23:24
Speaker 1: twelve catches. He had a grade three a C separation
23:28
Speaker 1: is supposed to be out four to six weeks, played
23:30
Speaker 1: the next week and made them design the pads so
23:34
Speaker 1: his bone could stick through it and not get I mean,
23:36
Speaker 1: the dude is amazing. In researching the story there for
23:39
Speaker 1: the off season, I talked to you about it. Keenan
23:41
Speaker 1: told me a story that one day you guys were
23:44
Speaker 1: walking down the hallway and saying, man, what and I
23:48
Speaker 1: both of you heard, because you played hurt a lot too,
23:50
Speaker 1: both of you hurt, and one of you said to
23:53
Speaker 1: the other, what are we doing? We're doing this for Tom,
23:56
Speaker 1: We're doing this. Why are you putting yourself through this?
23:59
Speaker 1: And I think he's it It was you stopped and said,
24:03
Speaker 1: because we love it. Yeah, We're gonna be out there
24:05
Speaker 1: no matter way. And but very similar Tony's playing at
24:09
Speaker 1: Keenan right now, very similar in that approach. It was
24:12
Speaker 1: need to hear that story. Well, I mean, and that's
24:14
Speaker 1: why I love I mean, the fun thing for me,
24:16
Speaker 1: this whole twenty five deal and what we've been doing. Listen,
24:19
Speaker 1: it's the hugest honor of being number one. I mean,
24:22
Speaker 1: just like being the part of Jaguars, being the part
24:23
Speaker 1: of this, I mean that means a lot. I mean,
24:25
Speaker 1: my son says, it's that you know that, like you're
24:27
Speaker 1: like the best of the franchise and is only thirty
24:30
Speaker 1: two of them. And I said, that's nice, you're my son.
24:32
Speaker 1: I appreciate that well that he appreciates it. But my
24:37
Speaker 1: favorite thing is it's allowed me to remember and reminisce
24:42
Speaker 1: about the guys I got to play with and you
24:44
Speaker 1: and appreciate what they did. I mean, I don't think
24:49
Speaker 1: there's organization, and the the guys who played for get the
24:51
Speaker 1: recognition across the league that they deserve because in the
24:54
Speaker 1: nineties there weren't very many better than Keene McCardell. Jimmy
24:58
Speaker 1: Smith was the best dis position. Red Taylor should have
25:00
Speaker 1: been the problem multiple times, but didn't because of in
25:03
Speaker 1: my opinion, where we played and the fact that some
25:05
Speaker 1: reason Tom decided to take him out on the goal line,
25:08
Speaker 1: which will drive Fred crazy. Leon Sarcy's best right tackle.
25:11
Speaker 1: I think I was okay, and Mark, and Mark was
25:15
Speaker 1: pretty good to Tony Brackens was I mean Tony Bracken's
25:18
Speaker 1: biggest Tony Brackens was the most athletic, greatest passengerser ever played.
25:23
Speaker 1: Tony Brackens loved football the way Keenan McCardell. He's in
25:28
Speaker 1: Canton right right now, and that's how good he is.
25:30
Speaker 1: I mean we have some really, I mean Kevin Hardy,
25:33
Speaker 1: I mean you forget I mean Cornell Lank who's on
25:35
Speaker 1: the list. But Kerry Walker was amazing. I mean you,
25:39
Speaker 1: I mean you can go down the list. I mean
25:41
Speaker 1: Smany logged in the early days payers cop Rady and
25:46
Speaker 1: so it's been like, I think we forget that as
25:48
Speaker 1: an organization in the community. I know you do, but
25:51
Speaker 1: we like because we look at the big Mark. I'll
25:53
Speaker 1: look because that's who gets all the attention. Now. The
25:56
Speaker 1: only way you change that in the market of this size,
25:59
Speaker 1: you gotta go in the Lombarti Trophy. Right, are you
26:01
Speaker 1: win the Lombarti Trophy? All that change? All right? We
26:03
Speaker 1: gotta get you out here. We gotta go one last
26:06
Speaker 1: quick thought, what really is cool? And John can appreciate
26:09
Speaker 1: this and Slynn is starting to appreciate this is the
26:11
Speaker 1: fact that you're here and Leon's in the other room.
26:14
Speaker 1: Freddie's gonna be back here in two weeks. Brunel is
26:16
Speaker 1: always around teen and his coaching here. You guysn't ask
26:18
Speaker 1: Freddie t the hard question, of course, but to have
26:21
Speaker 1: all of you guys here right, it's still tangible. So
26:25
Speaker 1: all right, get out. I'll say this. I'm gonna come on.
26:27
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun for me this year. You're surfing shirt.

Speaker 1: not possible. But since we're on the um and and
29:42
Speaker 1: Tony said all kinds of nice stuff. Let's let's go
29:44
Speaker 1: to the competitive side of things, okay, because we all
29:47
Speaker 1: have seen Fred's tweet. Um, were you surprised that that
29:50
Speaker 1: Fred was so that he threw it out there? Well,
29:54
Speaker 1: I was surprised that Fred was a little bit out
29:56
Speaker 1: of character. Understand. Understand the frustrate is privately because I
30:00
Speaker 1: actually heard it earlier this yesterday morning. But that's just
30:04
Speaker 1: a competitor in Fred and all of us. Hell, I'm
30:06
Speaker 1: a little upset that I was fourteen. I should have
30:08
Speaker 1: been a little high. Joel, Johnny you might have had
30:10
Speaker 1: a little bit of something to do with that. But
30:11
Speaker 1: I'm gonna but I voted you six. I understand. I
30:17
Speaker 1: understand Keena was a little upset to being that lower seven.
30:20
Speaker 1: We're just competitive in spirit. Were like all to be
30:23
Speaker 1: number one, but we all can't be. The thing about Keenan,
30:26
Speaker 1: the thing that about Keenan is is that for three
30:28
Speaker 1: or four days before he'd stopped in the Holly, when
30:31
Speaker 1: am I coming up? What I couldn't believe first all
30:33
Speaker 1: that he didn't know right he's in the building. Uh.
30:36
Speaker 1: And when he found out he was seven, I said, hey,
30:38
Speaker 1: congrats on seven. Congrats seven. Please, and he walked away
30:43
Speaker 1: from you. I mean, I've known this man for more
30:44
Speaker 1: than twenty years. Is walked away from me like I
30:46
Speaker 1: had just insulted his wife. And give us a Keenan
30:50
Speaker 1: story because you were in that locker room. I mean,
30:53
Speaker 1: here's my Keening story. Denver Jimmy sixty five yard touchdown catch.
30:59
Speaker 1: Watching the te with Matt Robinson on Monday, he says,
31:01
Speaker 1: to look at Keenan right there, and there's Keenan in
31:03
Speaker 1: the middle field. I was wide open, right, Jimmy just
31:06
Speaker 1: scored Keena one of the balls. Yes, Kenya was always open. Listen,
31:09
Speaker 1: Kenny were coming to huddle mass with joy of the
31:11
Speaker 1: time and begin on the offensive line for not giving
31:15
Speaker 1: enough time because we was open. He was like, you know,
31:16
Speaker 1: he had a little squeaky boys whatever. He'd be like, hey, line,
31:19
Speaker 1: give me a little bit more time, you know, but
31:23
Speaker 1: Sully will have to check him every now and day. Hey,
31:24
Speaker 1: keen you run the rouse, we'll do the block. You
31:26
Speaker 1: know that kind of stuff. But he's he was always
31:29
Speaker 1: a friary, competitive guy. One of the ball, always believed
31:31
Speaker 1: he was open. But you needed that kind of teammate
31:34
Speaker 1: on your team. That's what made us so special. You know,
31:36
Speaker 1: we had a bunch of fierce competitors. He had a
31:39
Speaker 1: lot of alpha dolls on the alpha offensive side of
31:41
Speaker 1: the ball. So that's what made us a lot. That's
31:43
Speaker 1: why we had so many success. You were drafted by
31:45
Speaker 1: the Steelers, you signed the free agent contract here um,
31:49
Speaker 1: so obviously you have an allegiance to both um. But
31:53
Speaker 1: here's the twenty fifth season for you personally. What's it
31:55
Speaker 1: like to get back to Jacksonville to be recognized as
31:58
Speaker 1: part of the Golden era of Worst Football and they
32:01
Speaker 1: have people say, hey, Leen, it's great to see it. Well,
32:03
Speaker 1: you know what I treat Jacksonville when I came here
32:06
Speaker 1: like a baby. You know when the baby, you feed
32:08
Speaker 1: the baby, you nourish the baby, you watch it crawl,
32:11
Speaker 1: you walk it run, walk, and then eventually run. That's
32:15
Speaker 1: what I was. That's what it was like being in Jacksonville.
32:17
Speaker 1: To see the naturation process of this team grow to
32:21
Speaker 1: being an expansion team to being one of the elite
32:24
Speaker 1: teams in nine, nine and nine with the opportunity to
32:26
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. So this, this organization is always
32:29
Speaker 1: going to be special to me. I tell people all
32:31
Speaker 1: the time. You know, I was born to steal but
32:33
Speaker 1: raised the Jaguar. And that's just the way I feel.
32:36
Speaker 1: That's just the way I feel about these fans, this
32:39
Speaker 1: communities organization, because uh, they took a chance for me
32:42
Speaker 1: in free agency, cost him a little bit. But I'm glad.
32:47
Speaker 1: I'm glad that I chose Jacksonville. And you told me
32:50
Speaker 1: this summer that when you first got here, uh, when
32:55
Speaker 1: you first started dealing with Tom, when you first started
32:57
Speaker 1: doing this was a different place than Pittsburgh. It was
33:00
Speaker 1: a very different environment, is a different way they did things.
33:04
Speaker 1: Talk about your first reaction to it and then and
33:06
Speaker 1: how and then how it kind of grew on. Well,
33:09
Speaker 1: you know, the first reaction to Tom Coughlin and uh
33:13
Speaker 1: was a little insulting to me, to be quite honest
33:15
Speaker 1: with you, because Tom wanted me here. There was there
33:18
Speaker 1: was no excuse the reason why. And I had a
33:21
Speaker 1: little bit more leadway in Pittsburgh because I had had
33:24
Speaker 1: the confidence of the coach that I was gonna come
33:26
Speaker 1: in shape into and I was trying to tell Tom
33:28
Speaker 1: down time was like, no, we need you here. So
33:30
Speaker 1: we butted heads for the first year here because I
33:33
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, Tom, I just played in
33:35
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Y'all were four and twelve. How are
33:38
Speaker 1: you gonna tell me how I trained? So that that
33:41
Speaker 1: was where the clash was. But eventually, you know, I
33:44
Speaker 1: came in and we resolved the situation, and you know,
33:49
Speaker 1: it all worked out. It all worked out during training camp.
33:52
Speaker 1: We had a slow start in the season, but you know,
33:54
Speaker 1: everybody remembers the NAT six season. We saw that all slow,
33:57
Speaker 1: and then we picked it up and made our run
33:58
Speaker 1: and everything like that. That's why ninety six team, as
34:01
Speaker 1: good as the nineties nine team was to be that
34:04
Speaker 1: special team. Said, you never missed the playoffs in the NFL. Correct,
34:08
Speaker 1: I never missed the playoffs. I was extremely blessed. Yes,
34:12
Speaker 1: never missed playoffs. I never knew what it meant to
34:15
Speaker 1: pack up before Christmas, and you didn't exactly, uh miss
34:18
Speaker 1: a lot of big bowl games in Miamis He had
34:20
Speaker 1: a pretty good Yeah, I had a nice run. Yet
34:25
Speaker 1: playing things were great for me. I cannot complain at
34:27
Speaker 1: all. All All right, so let's talk a little bit about
34:29
Speaker 1: this team, since you're gonna be in the broadcast booth
34:31
Speaker 1: next week talking a lot about this team. Nick Foles
34:34
Speaker 1: is in Jacksonville. He has been on the practice field
34:37
Speaker 1: for a week. How much better does Nick Fools make
34:40
Speaker 1: this team from the very beginning of this well, I
34:43
Speaker 1: think just his presence in the hullo elevates the team
34:47
Speaker 1: because there's nothing like knowing that you've got a Super
34:49
Speaker 1: Bowl champion at the helm at quarterback. I think for
34:52
Speaker 1: the most part during the o t as mining camps
34:54
Speaker 1: and training camps, it's all about chemistry right now, his
34:57
Speaker 1: chemistry and the temple with his wide receivers, his effectiveness,
35:01
Speaker 1: his ability to manipulate defenses as far as his progressions go,
35:04
Speaker 1: check downs and all that kind of stuff. So it's
35:06
Speaker 1: good that he's going to be going up against guys
35:08
Speaker 1: like Ramsey and A. J. Boyer because they're two of
35:11
Speaker 1: the best that they craft. So I mean, I I
35:14
Speaker 1: love the fact that guys on the team offensively or
35:17
Speaker 1: want to have to raise the bar because you know
35:20
Speaker 1: you've got a quarterback that can get it done. Yeah
35:25
Speaker 1: my train. Sure. How about offensive line? You have Brandon
35:27
Speaker 1: Lennard outstaye for sore noess, But what do you see,
35:29
Speaker 1: especially with Joan Taylor at right tackle. It seems like
35:32
Speaker 1: coach Doug really likes him because he said it publicly
35:34
Speaker 1: in his press conference which is unlike him to praise
35:37
Speaker 1: someone individually. Yeah. Well, you know, I've been watching the
35:41
Speaker 1: offensive tackles specifically because I played the position. So I've
35:44
Speaker 1: been watching a boy and Juwan Taylor. And as far
35:46
Speaker 1: as j Want Taylor goes, he's got a great skill set. Uh.
35:50
Speaker 1: He's very patient, He's very powerful in his position, and
35:53
Speaker 1: his stance carries his hands a little low. I would
35:57
Speaker 1: like to see his angles, um, you know, I'd like
35:59
Speaker 1: to see him nipulate his angers a little bit more.
36:01
Speaker 1: Has a tendency to drift a little bit, gives a
36:04
Speaker 1: defensive player too much ground went on their past. But
36:06
Speaker 1: but those are all things that are correctable. Those are
36:08
Speaker 1: correctable things that he can work on. They're only going
36:10
Speaker 1: to get better as practice moves along. So I liked
36:14
Speaker 1: you Wanna Taylor right now. Well, you've coached, right, you
36:16
Speaker 1: coached Florida International, some high school stuff in or Lando.
36:19
Speaker 1: I saw TC come over to you the other day.
36:21
Speaker 1: Was he asking you to go out and tell anything
36:22
Speaker 1: to well? You know? And that was that? That was
36:25
Speaker 1: two days ago. It was a TC siding. He walked
36:27
Speaker 1: towards me and he was over there by the offensive
36:30
Speaker 1: line drills and he said go over there and get
36:32
Speaker 1: you some drills. I's like, no, coach, I'm good. I say,
36:35
Speaker 1: I'm good coach, But do you know it was God?
36:38
Speaker 1: You know, listen, I love Tom Coughlin. He was a
36:40
Speaker 1: stickler on the discipline and all that kind of stuff,
36:43
Speaker 1: but he helped elevate my game here in Jacksonville. So
36:45
Speaker 1: I appreciate him for that. Always one final thought before
36:49
Speaker 1: we break, Um, Josh Allen, you saw Tony Brackens. You
36:54
Speaker 1: obviously saw Javon Curse, you staw the best pass rushers.
36:58
Speaker 1: Do you see again a minute? But do you see
37:01
Speaker 1: something special about him? He's bracking Kish. I can't give
37:06
Speaker 1: he's bracken Nish, and I'm only going by that based
37:09
Speaker 1: upon his frame and his built and his get off.
37:12
Speaker 1: Listen with Tony brackets here to earlier, what Tony Brackens
37:16
Speaker 1: was in Jacksonville. Need the best compliment we can get
37:21
Speaker 1: Tony is that Tony Brackets that me and but Sully
37:24
Speaker 1: never wanted to go up against him, and we were
37:26
Speaker 1: all pros and all write you know here. So Josh
37:29
Speaker 1: Allen has that potential, He has that potential to be
37:33
Speaker 1: bracken Kish. I don't think he's maybe as quick as
37:35
Speaker 1: lucive as brackets, but he has the same skill set
37:38
Speaker 1: and he could be a terror if he keeps growing
37:40
Speaker 1: in his positions are still bad. He was special. Alright,
37:45
Speaker 1: So let's come back and play Ashlan asks with Leon
37:47
Speaker 1: and John. You're gonna love it. Very competitive. Prepare during
37:51
Speaker 1: the break because it's a big deal and I'm going again. Okay,

Speaker 1: by Fields Auto Group. Here is Doug Morown live at
39:48
Speaker 1: training camp practice the last day open to the public
39:52
Speaker 1: before we hit the road on Sunday, hit the air,
39:55
Speaker 1: I guess you could say to Baltimore and now it's
39:58
Speaker 1: time for Ashland. Ask with our new guest Leon Searc
40:02
Speaker 1: his first time playing as can ask a lot of
40:04
Speaker 1: pressure that I can fear like he can handle it.
40:08
Speaker 1: So Lean, I'm gonna ask you a question and then
40:10
Speaker 1: you have about fifteen seconds to write your answer on
40:13
Speaker 1: the board, and then we discuss hit on the back
40:16
Speaker 1: of the head. It gets violence, John, So I'll start
40:22
Speaker 1: throwing things at John. All right, who has impressed you
40:25
Speaker 1: most during camp? John? We asked this before we started camp.
40:31
Speaker 1: Who do you think was going to impress you most?
40:33
Speaker 1: Now after a weekend? Who's impressed you most during training camp?
40:39
Speaker 1: And you cannot say Brent Reaber, Max Hawkman. That does
40:42
Speaker 1: not count. Yeah, all right, let's see it John. All right,
40:49
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go dd Westbrook h as I said I
40:54
Speaker 1: think Monday in the show. Um, I thought last year
40:58
Speaker 1: that d D was taken a step, but I wasn't
41:01
Speaker 1: sure where that step was gonna take him. And I
41:03
Speaker 1: wasn't sure what we were seeing because it was such
41:05
Speaker 1: mop up time when he really got hig at the
41:07
Speaker 1: end of the season. U to me, he looks like
41:10
Speaker 1: a guy who was taking a third year jump who
41:12
Speaker 1: now looks like a veteran receiver getting open consistently. He
41:15
Speaker 1: was like a guy Nick Folls can trust. So I'd
41:18
Speaker 1: be surprised at this point if d D stays healthy,
41:21
Speaker 1: if he doesn't push for a thousand yards this year. Wow,
41:25
Speaker 1: he got Yeah. I'm impressed by the young kid because
41:32
Speaker 1: he's flying around the ball. He may not know exactly
41:34
Speaker 1: what he's doing half the time, but he's always around
41:36
Speaker 1: the ball. And that's that's that's what we need, especially
41:39
Speaker 1: as the young guy his position player outside lineback and
41:42
Speaker 1: coming here as a rookie, and the expectations for him
41:45
Speaker 1: are very high because you know, we kind of depleted
41:47
Speaker 1: at the linebackers a position with injuries and then tell
41:50
Speaker 1: the Smith situations. So he's going to be expected to
41:52
Speaker 1: coming here and play. So and he got into a
41:54
Speaker 1: little a little little spat with with for Nette yesterday
41:58
Speaker 1: on one of the team drils. He tackled him and
42:01
Speaker 1: kind of slung him a little bit, and you know,
42:03
Speaker 1: Flowete popped up and gave him a little chest. So,
42:06
Speaker 1: I mean, let's always appreciate rookies that I don't know
42:08
Speaker 1: what we need better. It's got a nice game. No,
42:12
Speaker 1: it's not not game. I appreciate that there's no brother
42:16
Speaker 1: in longer. He's trying to get better, and he's trying
42:18
Speaker 1: to meet his point and he's always on the attack.
42:21
Speaker 1: Not if I had a board, Quincy was gonna be
42:23
Speaker 1: my guy. I'll give you one more. Jeff Swain, the
42:25
Speaker 1: tight end they signed from Dallas. I don't know that
42:27
Speaker 1: my expectations were very high for him, um but but
42:31
Speaker 1: he is a really solid, savvy veteran who's got better
42:34
Speaker 1: quickness and better hands than I thought. So I would
42:36
Speaker 1: go with him, all right as number two Kansas City Week?
42:41
Speaker 1: Who is the number one receiver? John, You just talked
42:48
Speaker 1: about one of those guys, one of those options. But
42:50
Speaker 1: Chris connellin coming in as well. You can make the
42:53
Speaker 1: argument for him. So who do you take? And it's
42:55
Speaker 1: always tough to talk about it. What I'm gonna say,
42:57
Speaker 1: d D because I just said he don't he's missing
42:59
Speaker 1: prayer to be still if I didn't say that, UM
43:03
Speaker 1: one is always a tough thing because you're leading receiver
43:06
Speaker 1: is usually your one. Is d D that big go
43:10
Speaker 1: to guy that you think of it as your true one?
43:13
Speaker 1: Physically maybe not, so I could see where somebody would
43:16
Speaker 1: say Conny, but I think he's gonna be the leading
43:18
Speaker 1: receiver on the team and Uh, so I'll still stick
43:21
Speaker 1: with d D with the caveat of Conley. Yeah, yeah,
43:25
Speaker 1: well I think he's going to be the benefactor of
43:28
Speaker 1: Nick Foles and be quite honest with and like Osan
43:30
Speaker 1: just said, I don't think that he's big or physical
43:32
Speaker 1: enough to be a number one, but I think that
43:34
Speaker 1: whatever position he plays is going to be effective. Although
43:37
Speaker 1: I will say this, your first game as a Jaguar
43:40
Speaker 1: was against the Steelers. It was you were motivated for
43:43
Speaker 1: Chris Conny has got a big game in absolutely. Oh yeah,
43:46
Speaker 1: it'll be a fun week, all right. Finally, after training camp,
43:49
Speaker 1: we see the coaches go nuts. We see Tom Coughlin
43:52
Speaker 1: out there. What coach do you want to hang out with?
43:54
Speaker 1: Or maybe go to lunch and pick his brain after
43:57
Speaker 1: watching training camp for a week, M present coach, present coach?
44:04
Speaker 1: After watching the line is the coach? Is this prospective
44:09
Speaker 1: coaching buying? Yes? Yes, lunches on him? So yeah, that
44:13
Speaker 1: that could be a factor as well. I would have
44:16
Speaker 1: to go Rebrovich. After watching the line drills, the man
44:19
Speaker 1: goes crazy. I would just love to sit down and
44:21
Speaker 1: say just take a breath, take a breath, and let's
44:24
Speaker 1: have lunch. I'll take my man Flip. Yeah, he's your guy.
44:27
Speaker 1: Late ladies love him. I'm gonna go defensive, warning your
44:32
Speaker 1: Todd wash just because I know Todd well enough to
44:35
Speaker 1: know that dinner be entertaining. You might have to bleep
44:40
Speaker 1: a little bit of it out, bleep a little bit
44:44
Speaker 1: of you'd have to actually unbleep some of it, right,
44:46
Speaker 1: but not as much as you'd have to bleep out Jody,
44:49
Speaker 1: That'd be impossible. So I'll go with Todd, going with
44:55
Speaker 1: just because of the history. Yeah, all right, I'm going
44:58
Speaker 1: out with Keen before so he's flipped the bill drinks
45:03
Speaker 1: and on fool so I know he had covered the tab.
45:06
Speaker 1: And they'll be very good to tame. It would be awesome.
45:09
Speaker 1: I walked in behind him this morning and I was
45:11
Speaker 1: just just ribbing him a little. He turned, he was
45:13
Speaker 1: so serious, he said, you're still on that? Have I
45:16
Speaker 1: not convinced you yet? Said you convinced me. I just
45:19
Speaker 1: he's fun. He's a lot of fun. It's all seriousness
45:22
Speaker 1: this week. All right, when we come back tomorrow, we're done.
45:26
Speaker 1: We'll come back tomorrow tomorrow. For you're the host of
45:28
Speaker 1: the show. I can't help Josh Allen after practice on
45:32
Speaker 1: jaguars dot Com and Jaguars Social Media. Stay tuned, and
45:35
Speaker 1: we wrap up the week Tomorrow Friday on Jaguars Drive Time. Next.
45:39
Speaker 1: Thank you,
