- 0:49Speaker 1: brought to you by Jet Home Loans. We are getting
- 0:51Speaker 1: ready to go on the field here in just an
- 0:53Speaker 1: hour to watch the last week of voluntary o t
- 0:57Speaker 1: S before we get into mandatory mini camp next week.
- 1:00Speaker 1: It is just John Ozier and I Brian Sexton on
- 1:03Speaker 1: vacation this week, so we will figure it out. Because
- 1:08Speaker 1: two had of three ain't bad. It's a pretty good odds. Alright,
- 1:13Speaker 1: let's get into big things, shall We have a very
- 1:15Speaker 1: busy show and trying to get out of the practice
- 1:16Speaker 1: field here in just an hour. So big thing one
- 1:19Speaker 1: is honesty. We have all been pleasantly surprised about how
- 1:23Speaker 1: candid head coach Urban Meyer has been, especially with this situation.
- 1:27Speaker 1: We all know that wide receiver d J. Chark did
- 1:29Speaker 1: not have his best season last year, and there was
- 1:32Speaker 1: a conversation a couple of months ago where coach Meyer
- 1:35Speaker 1: told Chark, hey, we need some more from you this season.
- 1:39Speaker 1: He didn't play well last year and and uh, obviously
- 1:42Speaker 1: his first year he was very good. I just didn't
- 1:45Speaker 1: like the his size is strength. I didn't, you know.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I just thought it was way below average, way below
- 1:51Speaker 1: what we expect from our receivers. And he was told that.
- 1:55Speaker 1: And the best thing I love about dj as he
- 1:57Speaker 1: addressed it and hit it very hard, gained seven pounds
- 2:00Speaker 1: a muscle. He's playing a much more physical game. He's
- 2:02Speaker 1: a big guy that played little last year and that
- 2:04Speaker 1: can't happen, you know. You know, guys like Mike Thomas
- 2:07Speaker 1: and uh Lewis murphyer those big, strong, fast receivers and
- 2:11Speaker 1: he's got to play big and strong and he can
- 2:13Speaker 1: now because he's he is big and strong. So I
- 2:16Speaker 1: just had a ironically a good meeting with him as
- 2:18Speaker 1: we walked off the field. We can't lose that strength
- 2:21Speaker 1: and power games that he made in the off season,
- 2:24Speaker 1: and um, he's committed to do it this summer. All right. Now,
- 2:28Speaker 1: we got a big thing too, which is the accountabilities
- 2:30Speaker 1: side of this. And d d J. Chard came right
- 2:33Speaker 1: after coach Meyer with a press conference and was asked,
- 2:35Speaker 1: how did you respond to that conversation, He said, well,
- 2:38Speaker 1: I got to work. I like it. I love the challenge.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I also, you know, told coach that I'm like that,
- 2:46Speaker 1: you know, uh, and I go out that ball. So
- 2:50Speaker 1: I love talking to Coach May. He's a he's a competitor.
- 2:52Speaker 1: He's gonna push me. He also know that I'm gonna
- 2:55Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna do what I do. I'm gonna
- 2:57Speaker 1: step up, I'm gonna make plays. Uh. You know, he
- 3:00Speaker 1: give me good advice to him to go get in
- 3:01Speaker 1: the right room. By getting the right room, I put
- 3:03Speaker 1: the weight on. But you know, I know, you know,
- 3:08Speaker 1: I'm I'm once again I'm like that. So but you know,
- 3:11Speaker 1: I love I love man. He pushed me to be
- 3:15Speaker 1: better than what I am. You know, so to make
- 3:19Speaker 1: him happy, you really gotta be balling, you know. So
- 3:21Speaker 1: you really got so I gotta step it up to
- 3:23Speaker 1: make him happy. You feel me. But it's definitely good push.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I like having a guy like that, an alpha that's
- 3:29Speaker 1: gonna push you to be an alpha. Seven pounds of
- 3:33Speaker 1: muscle in DJ Chart has joked his new nickname is
- 3:36Speaker 1: muscles Now and big Thing three is the last stretch.
- 3:39Speaker 1: This is the last week of voluntary ot S before
- 3:41Speaker 1: we go into a three day mandatory mini camp starting
- 3:45Speaker 1: next Monday. And John I was watching Sports Andner this
- 3:48Speaker 1: morning and and dominating the news is that Aaron Rodgers
- 3:51Speaker 1: did not show up for mandatory mini camp. And yes,
- 3:53Speaker 1: we're in voluntary, and we completely understand the term voluntary,
- 3:57Speaker 1: but there have been years in the power where that
- 4:00Speaker 1: dominates the conversation. Here in Jacksonville and you're out on
- 4:03Speaker 1: the practice field and it's checking who's here, who's not here.
- 4:06Speaker 1: It's hard to get away from that. You want to
- 4:08Speaker 1: focus on the storylines, but when someone isn't present, it
- 4:11Speaker 1: dominates the conversation. It's been very refreshing to not have
- 4:14Speaker 1: to deal with that this year. And there's a difference.
- 4:17Speaker 1: I mean, there's a difference in the offseason when a
- 4:20Speaker 1: guy isn't there for mandatory, No, when he's there for voluntary. Um,
- 4:24Speaker 1: there's not there voluntary because as Edrin James, who I
- 4:27Speaker 1: covered with Indianapolis, used to say, I didn't graduate from Miami,
- 4:31Speaker 1: but I know what voluntary. So the players understand that,
- 4:36Speaker 1: and that is a thing. Uh, what's significant here is
- 4:40Speaker 1: they don't have to be here and they are here.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I don't know that that will attendants. I don't know
- 4:47Speaker 1: if in Urban meyers second year or his third year,
- 4:49Speaker 1: you're gonna get a hundred percent. I don't know if
- 4:51Speaker 1: the ninth year guy who already knows what Urban's about
- 4:54Speaker 1: is necessarily going to be here in every O t
- 4:57Speaker 1: A sometimes you know O t A attend There are
- 5:00Speaker 1: cases where guys come to seven or eight of them
- 5:02Speaker 1: and don't come to two. So it's not all or nothing.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I think you might see that moving forward, But for
- 5:07Speaker 1: right now, you have a new teacher and you gotta
- 5:09Speaker 1: be in class, yes you do. And you also have
- 5:11Speaker 1: a new quarterback. And I look at someone like Brandon Linder,
- 5:14Speaker 1: for example, who who really in the past didn't really
- 5:16Speaker 1: need to be here when you have a consistent quarterback,
- 5:18Speaker 1: but someone like him, it's in his best interests when
- 5:21Speaker 1: you have Trevor Lawrence coming in here. So yes, I
- 5:23Speaker 1: am curious to see this year perfect attendance. What will
- 5:26Speaker 1: the next couple of seasons look like for someone like him?
- 5:29Speaker 1: As you get bigger names, more established names, Uh, I
- 5:35Speaker 1: think you will see everywhere on the league there are
- 5:38Speaker 1: certain guys who don't show up. Uh, Chase Young in Washington.
- 5:42Speaker 1: He's in a second year. He's not going to voluntary
- 5:45Speaker 1: we know what. He's a defensive end. He's clearly elite.
- 5:48Speaker 1: He clearly knows how to prepare. Uh, there will be
- 5:51Speaker 1: situations like that. To me, I've always felt, as long
- 5:57Speaker 1: as the quarterback is there, there you know, you wish
- 6:01Speaker 1: there could be something in the c B A about
- 6:04Speaker 1: the quarterback being there and the other stort of being voluteere.
- 6:07Speaker 1: You can't do that. I get it, But the quarterbacks
- 6:10Speaker 1: participation is paramount in O t a s because the
- 6:13Speaker 1: rest of the offense really can't function if there's a
- 6:15Speaker 1: clear starting quarterback. Again, going back to my indie days,
- 6:18Speaker 1: Peyton Manning never missed an O T A I don't
- 6:20Speaker 1: think in ten years I was there, there was He
- 6:23Speaker 1: never missed a day of that, which is how the unusual.
- 6:25Speaker 1: But he knew everything else. He had to be there
- 6:27Speaker 1: for everything else to function. A wide receiver. Reggie Wayne,
- 6:30Speaker 1: for example, deep into his career when I was there,
- 6:33Speaker 1: he would show up for the first couple of days
- 6:35Speaker 1: O t a s, make sure they hadn't invented anything
- 6:37Speaker 1: new about football, and then he would leave and come
- 6:39Speaker 1: back for mandatory minicamp, mainly to make sure that he
- 6:42Speaker 1: knew what was going on. Reggie didn't do that when
- 6:46Speaker 1: he was catching forty five passes for eight hundred yards.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Once he was a pro bowler, knew what he was doing.
- 6:51Speaker 1: That was much more palpable to the coaching staff. And
- 6:54Speaker 1: that's okay once you get things established and you know
- 6:58Speaker 1: who people are around the organization and the coaches know
- 7:00Speaker 1: what players are. Right now, urban Meyer wouldn't even know
- 7:05Speaker 1: these guys well enough in March to be able to
- 7:08Speaker 1: say to one of the veterans, hey, I get it.
- 7:09Speaker 1: You get it. Well, he doesn't know that yet. The
- 7:12Speaker 1: relationships aren't established so in time. But for now, to me,
- 7:17Speaker 1: I expected very close to full attendance because of the
- 7:19Speaker 1: new teacher scenario. They've got it, and I think it's significant.
- 7:25Speaker 1: It is very much so we'll be out on the
- 7:26Speaker 1: practice field today. So stay tuned Jaguars dot Com for

- 9:32Speaker 1: with new head coach Urban Meyer. Don't miss out on
- 9:34Speaker 1: the best seats before they're gone. Locking your tickets now
- 9:37Speaker 1: for the season at Jaguars dot com. Poliss good bolzas here,
- 9:45Speaker 1: we got it out. Let's go, let's go, let's go,
- 9:48Speaker 1: and my randall punching out, Oh gosh, if you're not awake,
- 9:53Speaker 1: now you are go. We jumped out of our seats
- 9:57Speaker 1: on that one, and not by accidents. That something. It
- 10:01Speaker 1: really was. Yeah, Joe Colin miked up on Jaguars dot Com.
- 10:06Speaker 1: You want to check that out. It is just minutes
- 10:08Speaker 1: of pure energetic excitement like we just saw. And John
- 10:12Speaker 1: and Brian were always telling me how cool it is
- 10:14Speaker 1: to watch Joe Colin at practice, and he really was like, yeah, yeah,
- 10:17Speaker 1: I'm sure it's cool. And then I saw it in person.
- 10:19Speaker 1: It was like they were not lying. Yeah, he's he's
- 10:22Speaker 1: absolutely entertaining in practice. Uh, And it's funny. I guess
- 10:28Speaker 1: when I think of Joe Colin, I don't think of
- 10:31Speaker 1: that Joe Colin because I know him off the field
- 10:34Speaker 1: and I respect how he is with players and what
- 10:37Speaker 1: he is as a person, uh so much more. Um
- 10:41Speaker 1: that that is terrific, and that's his style in the field.
- 10:45Speaker 1: That's how he motivates. All of that would not work
- 10:49Speaker 1: if he didn't have this unbelievable ability to have unbelievable
- 10:54Speaker 1: respect from players, to be able to drive them, for
- 10:57Speaker 1: them to know that he loves them and wants them
- 11:00Speaker 1: to maximize their potential. And that's the reason he's pushing.
- 11:06Speaker 1: None of the yelling works without that. Again, I think
- 11:10Speaker 1: he's Uh, he's an outstanding coach, as say any defensive
- 11:13Speaker 1: line coach, and I am looking forward to seeing how
- 11:16Speaker 1: he fares in his first coordinator opportunity. Yes, you can
- 11:18Speaker 1: tell he's very excited for the opportunity. So now let's
- 11:21Speaker 1: dive into the downtown developments that we saw last Thursday
- 11:24Speaker 1: and the present presentation from shot Coom and Mark Lamping,
- 11:28Speaker 1: And there's a lot to dive in here, John, But
- 11:31Speaker 1: let's first hear from wide receiver DJ Chark on why
- 11:34Speaker 1: the need for a football facility was a must here
- 11:37Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Hearing it sounds good, but actually seeing it
- 11:41Speaker 1: is different. And seeing the progress that we've been doing
- 11:47Speaker 1: since you know, this new staff, this new erat and
- 11:50Speaker 1: took over. You know, it's like practicing what you preach.
- 11:54Speaker 1: So once you show guys that we're not only saying it,
- 11:58Speaker 1: but we are building these things. We are uh put
- 12:00Speaker 1: an extra time, ma, we are listening to you, asking
- 12:02Speaker 1: you about you know, your body, what you can do better.
- 12:07Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing. That's why we have
- 12:09Speaker 1: so many guys here because they're holding up there into
- 12:13Speaker 1: the bargain, you know. Uh So since they're holding up
- 12:15Speaker 1: there in you know, we have no problem holding up
- 12:18Speaker 1: by in. Uh. We enjoy being pushed, especially I do.
- 12:22Speaker 1: So you know, hats off and credit to those guys
- 12:26Speaker 1: for bringing that energy. So that's a new football facility
- 12:30Speaker 1: coming the summer of and head coach Urban Meyer his
- 12:35Speaker 1: very first press conference, he stressed the need to make
- 12:38Speaker 1: this happen, and months later we're seeing the renderings of
- 12:41Speaker 1: the shipyards being rejuvenated with a four season hotel and
- 12:45Speaker 1: office buildings where the Jaguar staff will be working along
- 12:48Speaker 1: with others, a Baptist orthopedic sports medicine complex, and improvements
- 12:53Speaker 1: to the marina and John The coolest thing here is
- 12:56Speaker 1: is that urban Meyer is stressing, why our players going
- 12:59Speaker 1: to Alice in the off season and Phoenix in the
- 13:01Speaker 1: off season. Why are we not providing them with something
- 13:05Speaker 1: everything they need right here in the parking lot? Should?
- 13:08Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I am. I am relieved because
- 13:12Speaker 1: this complex finally gives me a place to park my boat.
- 13:17Speaker 1: So that's very very important. Yeah, I mean it. It
- 13:21Speaker 1: solves one of those little life problems for me. Um.
- 13:26Speaker 1: This is all part of Urban's vision. H I don't
- 13:31Speaker 1: know necessarily that this would not have happened without Urban,
- 13:35Speaker 1: because at some point this had to happen. As they
- 13:40Speaker 1: mentioned in the presentation last week, it had to happen
- 13:43Speaker 1: to get the Jaguars back to par with the rest
- 13:46Speaker 1: of the league. This is the way things are going
- 13:49Speaker 1: for anybody who's watching this and thinking, well, why do
- 13:51Speaker 1: you need this? Why isn't the facility fine? If you
- 13:55Speaker 1: go around the rest of the league at a thirty
- 13:57Speaker 1: two teams, most teams have something like this. If not,
- 14:01Speaker 1: they're going to this. So it it really gets you
- 14:04Speaker 1: back to a competitive balance. More than anything, I think
- 14:07Speaker 1: to the style of this, the architecture of this is
- 14:11Speaker 1: important because you get the idea that it will set
- 14:14Speaker 1: a template, it'll set a brand, a tone, whatever that
- 14:17Speaker 1: word is for how the renovation of the stadium is
- 14:20Speaker 1: going to look. Uh, this is the first step of
- 14:22Speaker 1: that and a I would think a comparatively inexpensive step
- 14:25Speaker 1: to what's actually gonna happen to the stadium. But it's
- 14:28Speaker 1: it's a I get the vibe that it's going to
- 14:30Speaker 1: happen that meeting last week. Uh, many city council people there.
- 14:35Speaker 1: You've got the idea that discussions have taken place and
- 14:38Speaker 1: that the Jaguars know that this is a vision that
- 14:42Speaker 1: everybody can get on board with. Uh. It's it's incredibly exciting.
- 14:45Speaker 1: And I also understand. I got a lot of emails
- 14:48Speaker 1: after this with people saying, well, why should we get
- 14:52Speaker 1: excited about this, We've seen other things like this before. Well,
- 14:56Speaker 1: first of all, a lot of the renderings have taken
- 14:59Speaker 1: place over the has ten years, have happened, the club suites,
- 15:06Speaker 1: the video boards, Daily's place. When Sean rolls these out,
- 15:11Speaker 1: he's not doing it for his health. He believes that
- 15:14Speaker 1: this is the way it's going to go. So a
- 15:16Speaker 1: lot j didn't get approved, but this is a vision
- 15:21Speaker 1: for downtown Jacksonville. Sean believes in it strongly. I would
- 15:26Speaker 1: be how about stunned because he can't pretty the future.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I would be very surprised and disappointed if this one
- 15:32Speaker 1: didn't happen because it needs it, and the football team,
- 15:37Speaker 1: the football side needs it. It just feels organic to me, Yes,
- 15:40Speaker 1: very much. So when you look at the football team
- 15:42Speaker 1: as a whole, it's obvious they need it. And we
- 15:45Speaker 1: go to these places like Baltimore and Minnesota for training
- 15:48Speaker 1: camp and we see what they have and it's not
- 15:49Speaker 1: really even the comparison of it. It's frankly that this
- 15:53Speaker 1: team is running out of room in this stadium and
- 15:56Speaker 1: in order to renovate the stadium. They gotta go somewhere.
- 15:59Speaker 1: So it is very much a need to build some
- 16:02Speaker 1: type of building where they can still practice and be
- 16:04Speaker 1: a football team. It's it's critical. It's going to happen
- 16:10Speaker 1: in some capacity at some point. It's just a matter
- 16:13Speaker 1: of getting the sides to meet and getting the right
- 16:17Speaker 1: combination and the right vibe. I guess, as much as anything,
- 16:21Speaker 1: this so far feels like a a vibe and a
- 16:27Speaker 1: project that's going to work. So we'll see a long
- 16:30Speaker 1: way to go, but I think there's a confidence level there. Yes,
- 16:33Speaker 1: we're going to see shovels on the ground. I don't
- 16:35Speaker 1: know when, but summer of it's supposed to be completed
- 16:38Speaker 1: by me with somebody shoveling. No, we don't want that.
- 16:42Speaker 1: That would take twenty years. Worry about parking my boat?
- 16:44Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, get get on that, will you when we
- 16:46Speaker 1: come back? Some ozone snapshot right here on Jaguars Drive Time.

- 18:23Speaker 1: am with this Pepsi mango. It says I'm sweet, fun,
- 18:26Speaker 1: and a little unconventional, and if they're looking for something
- 18:28Speaker 1: refreshingly different, they should give me a try. Well, you
- 18:31Speaker 1: are a little bit unconventional. Just enjoy the allure of
- 18:34Speaker 1: the bold deliciousness that is Pepsi mango. Try Pepsi mango.
- 18:38Speaker 1: That's what I like. Treat your pet to their own
- 18:46Speaker 1: vacation while you're away on yours. At Pet Paradise. Dropping
- 18:49Speaker 1: off your four legged child is like having a sleepover,
- 18:52Speaker 1: minus the sleeping bags in late night movies, surrounded by
- 18:55Speaker 1: friends and doating grown up sleep easier knowing Pet Paradise
- 18:58Speaker 1: is always there for your precious pet. Pet Paradise official
- 19:02Speaker 1: pet sponsor provided for the Jacksonville Jaguars. We're back Jack's
- 19:09Speaker 1: drive time. It is time for some ozone snapshots. We're
- 19:14Speaker 1: staying right here in Jacksonville. John, did you write this
- 19:18Speaker 1: to yourself? I'm onto you? Well, yeah, I do. That
- 19:21Speaker 1: a lot. John. If the NFL asked the Jaguars if
- 19:25Speaker 1: they want to be on hard knocks, who decides this?
- 19:28Speaker 1: That would be great national media exposure. If that's what
- 19:31Speaker 1: they want. I'd rather they do win. It would be
- 19:35Speaker 1: an organizational decision, which realistically, Shot Khan nine or ten
- 19:41Speaker 1: years ago talked about that he would not mind being
- 19:45Speaker 1: on hard knocks. He would like it as an owner.
- 19:48Speaker 1: I think most owners wouldn't mind it. Historically, head football
- 19:53Speaker 1: coaches do not like the idea because they wanted, As
- 19:55Speaker 1: Urban Meyers said discussing this with with Rich Eisend last week,
- 20:00Speaker 1: usually football coaches want to be in the bunker. They
- 20:02Speaker 1: want to be in in a self focused moment, he said,
- 20:05Speaker 1: going to submarine and come play. Yeah. Yeah. But Urban
- 20:09Speaker 1: also left it open a little bit that he understands
- 20:12Speaker 1: there's interest, he understands this is a story. He understands
- 20:14Speaker 1: there's hype. Um to me, I heard somebody who wouldn't
- 20:19Speaker 1: necessarily do a hard no to hard knocks. So uh,
- 20:23Speaker 1: it would be organizational Realistically, that means urban Meyer would
- 20:27Speaker 1: make the decision around here. I'm sure he would do
- 20:30Speaker 1: a consulting with trend Ballky consulting with other people who
- 20:32Speaker 1: have been knowing Urban. He would probably call every coach
- 20:34Speaker 1: who's ever been on hard knocks and make sure that
- 20:36Speaker 1: he understood what that distraction would be. I don't expect
- 20:41Speaker 1: it to happen, Slynn, but that's probably only because it's
- 20:44Speaker 1: ingrained in me that head coaches do not want this
- 20:47Speaker 1: and this would be too much. Urban surprises me at times,
- 20:51Speaker 1: So maybe, but it's hard for me to envision it,
- 20:55Speaker 1: and the old man and me who wents everybody off
- 20:59Speaker 1: my lawn doesn't want it. But I get that fans
- 21:01Speaker 1: think it's cool. It is cool, and I could see
- 21:04Speaker 1: a more a layout that is more realistic. I guess
- 21:07Speaker 1: you could say is maybe this is next season, and
- 21:09Speaker 1: I could see head coach urban Meyer saying, we haven't
- 21:11Speaker 1: done anything yet, we haven't played a game. This storyline
- 21:14Speaker 1: is still going to be here next season, no matter
- 21:16Speaker 1: what the success of this team is or not. They
- 21:19Speaker 1: can make it do next you know, they can make
- 21:20Speaker 1: him do it next season. Yeah, and I think that's
- 21:22Speaker 1: more realistic. Um. I would think if you have Trevor
- 21:27Speaker 1: Lawrence and Urban Meyer h in the fold in July
- 21:31Speaker 1: of next year, my guess is that would be very
- 21:34Speaker 1: appealing to h hard Knocks. Next year, I think it'd
- 21:38Speaker 1: be I think it would be appealing to them now,
- 21:39Speaker 1: I just don't know if if they'll be willing to
- 21:42Speaker 1: do it so next year. It's not really an organizational decision.
- 21:45Speaker 1: It's more a lead decision saying, hey, guess what you're
- 21:48Speaker 1: doing our ducks surprise. That's the way I'm convinced to
- 21:51Speaker 1: do those things. People say, you're going to do it,
- 21:52Speaker 1: you have to do it, Yes, I will say. What
- 21:55Speaker 1: was it? I think it was two eighteen when the
- 21:57Speaker 1: Bucks came here for joint practice and they were hard knocks,
- 22:00Speaker 1: and I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as
- 22:03Speaker 1: intrusive as I thought. We almost didn't notice them. And
- 22:06Speaker 1: that's that Some of my frame of restmes for this
- 22:09Speaker 1: is talking to people in in the two thousands who,
- 22:13Speaker 1: when this was first starting, this didn't like the idea
- 22:15Speaker 1: at all. My understanding is hard Knocks has become as
- 22:18Speaker 1: unintrusive as it could possibly be. They understand what the
- 22:21Speaker 1: league is, they work around the league. They you know.
- 22:25Speaker 1: I don't think there's any correlation between being on a
- 22:26Speaker 1: hard Knocks and family succeeding that season. It's more just
- 22:29Speaker 1: the headache than most coaches don't want distractions like that, right,
- 22:32Speaker 1: and this team will not be short of national media
- 22:34Speaker 1: exposure hard knocks or not, you think not. I don't
- 22:36Speaker 1: think you ought to worry about that one. All right,
- 22:38Speaker 1: we're staying here in Jacksonville. We're going to William, Oh.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Do you think there will be as much uproar about
- 22:44Speaker 1: the Titans signing Adam Coon as there was but the
- 22:48Speaker 1: Jaguars signing Tim Tebow? No, because there's not as much
- 22:52Speaker 1: uproar about anything as there is about Tim Tebow. I
- 22:55Speaker 1: mean that Tim Tebow could go shopping and there's not
- 22:56Speaker 1: as much up war about other people going shopping, and yeah,
- 22:59Speaker 1: so there's a natural polarization that occurs with Tebow. I
- 23:04Speaker 1: don't think the Coon signing is any more legit or
- 23:07Speaker 1: not legit than Tebow. It's a it's somebody coming for
- 23:10Speaker 1: another sport who's trying to make a dream come true,
- 23:14Speaker 1: who has athletic ability and who has shown the ability
- 23:18Speaker 1: to reach the top of of they're chosen field. Which
- 23:24Speaker 1: people who are competitive like that sort of thing. I
- 23:27Speaker 1: think I think the Titans probably look at it just
- 23:29Speaker 1: like the Jaguars. Do you have ninety people in the
- 23:31Speaker 1: offseason roster. It's okay to give one or two people
- 23:36Speaker 1: there a chance because most people the bottom the rest
- 23:38Speaker 1: aren't gonna make the team. So it's it's It is
- 23:42Speaker 1: another situation where there's more of a uproar about it
- 23:46Speaker 1: outside than there is in the building. So but no,
- 23:49Speaker 1: nothing is ever as big as anything that involves Tebow.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Not on the same level at all. And Adam Coon
- 23:54Speaker 1: of competing for a interior offensive line spot in a
- 23:57Speaker 1: former wrestler, and when you read about it, that's all
- 24:00Speaker 1: it is is he is competing for a spot just
- 24:02Speaker 1: like Tim Tebow. Precise precisely. All right, here we go,
- 24:05Speaker 1: wrapping it up Marshall, North Carolina. Mr Dawn urban Meyer's
- 24:11Speaker 1: spread offense has always used a running quarterback to work.
- 24:14Speaker 1: We all know Trevor can run, but do you think
- 24:16Speaker 1: that the offense will have running place for him. I
- 24:22Speaker 1: hope it's minimal, and I would think it would be minimal.
- 24:25Speaker 1: There needs to be a threat in a spread offense,
- 24:28Speaker 1: and it needs to be a little bit of a
- 24:30Speaker 1: threat any enough offense these days, as the league is
- 24:33Speaker 1: evolving two having a threat, I don't think you will
- 24:38Speaker 1: see an RPO based offense where the quarterback is placed
- 24:42Speaker 1: to risk every play. I just he's too valuable a commodity.
- 24:48Speaker 1: He must be protected over the course of fifteen years,
- 24:52Speaker 1: not just fifteen minutes, not just fifteen games. So I
- 24:55Speaker 1: don't think you will see I think they will try
- 24:57Speaker 1: to keep that as low risk as possible. But um,
- 25:00Speaker 1: I do think his skill set lends itself to trying
- 25:04Speaker 1: to create things where he can be on the move
- 25:07Speaker 1: as safely as possible. Key they're being safely. Can he
- 25:10Speaker 1: do it? Yes? Will he do it? We don't know. Yeah,
- 25:14Speaker 1: And it's just there is an instinct among young quarterbacks
- 25:20Speaker 1: to take off and run because it seems in in
- 25:26Speaker 1: the moment like that's a way to be effective. Uh,
- 25:32Speaker 1: the better he will get better quickly towards his correct endgame,
- 25:39Speaker 1: the less he runs and the more he looks to throw.
- 25:41Speaker 1: That's just the way the league is built. So I
- 25:44Speaker 1: don't I don't think they will emphasize this, but I
- 25:47Speaker 1: think it has to be an element because of his
- 25:48Speaker 1: skill set. Totally agree. That is ozone snapshot. We have
- 25:51Speaker 1: a few short minutes left on Jaguars Drive time, so
- 25:54Speaker 1: stay with us here on the Jaguars Digital Network. We've
