0:35
Speaker 1: begin this week with reaction to last weekend's rookie minicamp.
0:39
Speaker 1: Astlan Sullivan, John Osier, Bryan Sexton and I gave our
0:42
Speaker 1: first impressions of the first overall draft pick, Trayvon Walker.
0:46
Speaker 1: I think we're all to sort of lead with the
0:48
Speaker 1: same thought that it's easy to see why they drafted
0:50
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker. He's uh put on this earth. God came
0:56
Speaker 1: down and touched him and said you will play pro
0:58
Speaker 1: football and his he's an unbelievable specimen. May the best
1:04
Speaker 1: specimen that they've ever drafted Number one, you know, or
1:06
Speaker 1: in the first round to come in here, unbelievably impressive
1:10
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's just May, but wow, you
1:14
Speaker 1: know it's funny you say that. So I was thinking
1:16
Speaker 1: about the guys. Baselly obviously six seven and pounds when
1:20
Speaker 1: he walked in here. John Henderson, you know, bigger, if
1:23
Speaker 1: that's possible. When he came in here in two thousand
1:24
Speaker 1: and two, Um, Fred was impressive. You're like, okay, look
1:28
Speaker 1: at that. Oh yeah, I mean four three forty. I mean, unbelievable.
1:33
Speaker 1: But when you got up close to Walker, you saw
1:35
Speaker 1: a guy who physically the only guy that's I think
1:39
Speaker 1: come close to him in terms of looking like it's
1:41
Speaker 1: supposed to look as Tony Brackens Um arms just forever
1:45
Speaker 1: and then just catchers myths. I mean, just enormous hands.
1:49
Speaker 1: Um moves so fluidly, so effortlessly through the drills. When
1:53
Speaker 1: he hit the bag, remember something we were standing there.
1:55
Speaker 1: It was boom when the other kid from Norfolks date
1:58
Speaker 1: and he played at Norfolk State for re it right,
2:00
Speaker 1: I mean, he's pop pop pop, this kid Boom. When
2:06
Speaker 1: Walker hits it, it's he was, as John said, touched,
2:11
Speaker 1: he's supposed to play professional football, and I was We
2:15
Speaker 1: were just all in awe of what we saw in
2:17
Speaker 1: terms of you knew right away that's why they took him.
2:20
Speaker 1: And I maybe i've shared the story with you guys
2:22
Speaker 1: off Mike, but I mean I stood in front of
2:24
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson in Vegas and he's impressive six six to
2:29
Speaker 1: sixty and that's a big, strong guy. But he is
2:31
Speaker 1: not built like this. I mean not in any way,
2:33
Speaker 1: shape or form, built like Trayvon Walker. Yeah, when Trayvon
2:37
Speaker 1: Walker came in not Friday after he was drafted, and
2:39
Speaker 1: he was in just a jumpsuit, you know, he's Wow,
2:42
Speaker 1: he's big walking down the hallway. But then when you
2:44
Speaker 1: see him on a football field in gloves and you
2:47
Speaker 1: look at his arms that are basically to his knees,
2:50
Speaker 1: my brother text me it's funny. I tweeted out a
2:51
Speaker 1: clip of one of his drills. My brother goes, my god,
2:53
Speaker 1: I'm scared of him. And I think that's the impression
2:56
Speaker 1: we all had from well, he looked like he was
2:58
Speaker 1: he was participating a padded practice, ye And it wasn't.
3:03
Speaker 1: And I've seen a few guys like that. When I
3:05
Speaker 1: covered Bob Sanders in the Colt Taste joke about that
3:08
Speaker 1: he he would walk out during O T A S
3:12
Speaker 1: and he looked like he was going to practice because
3:14
Speaker 1: he was that big and strong. Trayvon Walkers about three
3:17
Speaker 1: of Bob Sanders, but he's impressive. The Jaguars Reporters podcast

Speaker 1: Feel it's very relaxed but efficient. Do you feel the
4:13
Speaker 1: same way, yep, you know, just learn a new system
4:15
Speaker 1: with coach Peterson and coach Phil and then a new
4:17
Speaker 1: offense with Press Taylor. So I think they're just you know,
4:20
Speaker 1: trying to work some baby steps here and just stacking
4:23
Speaker 1: one day at a time. And coach Peterson always talks
4:25
Speaker 1: about the one percent getting one percent better, reaching every
4:27
Speaker 1: day and uh, just just coming to work and having fun.
4:30
Speaker 1: You had different head coaches in your time in Washington,
4:32
Speaker 1: but you were in Washington your whole career. What's it
4:34
Speaker 1: like now six seven years in to step up and
4:37
Speaker 1: try something new? Yeah, you know, change. You know, I
4:40
Speaker 1: enjoyed my I enjoyed my time in Washington. I had
4:42
Speaker 1: some great coaches and I'm so thankful for you know them,
4:44
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be where I am without them. So
4:46
Speaker 1: but changed good, and you know, just it's all it's
4:49
Speaker 1: all pretty much the same. Just new terminology, just just
4:52
Speaker 1: a new way to do things. So just coming and uh,
4:54
Speaker 1: you know, just just grind and have fun. What were
4:57
Speaker 1: your impressions, uh of Doug Peterson and as an opponent
5:01
Speaker 1: for years and how they lined up. What are your impressions? Now, Yeah,
5:04
Speaker 1: he's a great coach. He's you know, he's one of
5:06
Speaker 1: the best. He's a smart coach. You want to he
5:07
Speaker 1: want a super Bowl for a reason, you know. So
5:10
Speaker 1: you know, I'm very fortunate to be able to play
5:12
Speaker 1: with him, to play for him, and you know, and
5:14
Speaker 1: learn from him too. So I think we got a
5:16
Speaker 1: heck of a heck of a team and we're excited
5:18
Speaker 1: to just keep building one out of time. We're spending
5:20
Speaker 1: a lot of time talking about you know who what,
5:23
Speaker 1: and we're on the offensive line. What's that like for you?
5:25
Speaker 1: First of all, you're stepping into a new group anyway,
5:27
Speaker 1: and now they're talking about competition at right tackle and
5:30
Speaker 1: who's gonna be the left guard and how do you
5:32
Speaker 1: build the cohesion when you don't know who's gonna be where.
5:34
Speaker 1: I don't think you can worry about that, you know,
5:35
Speaker 1: right now, you just gotta you know, we we haven't
5:37
Speaker 1: really stepped out on the field yet. You know, you're
5:39
Speaker 1: just doing individual stuff. You are, uh doing a few
5:42
Speaker 1: team team things, but it's all about just learning the
5:45
Speaker 1: playbook and that's you know, you gotta worry about yourself first.
5:48
Speaker 1: You know, make sure you know what to do and
5:50
Speaker 1: how to do it. And like Phil says, he's got
5:52
Speaker 1: three things. Know what to do, know how to do it,
5:54
Speaker 1: and be the same guy every day, so coming and
5:55
Speaker 1: coming and work and just and just show the coaches
5:58
Speaker 1: that you know what to do. So it sounds like
5:59
Speaker 1: you're not concerned about it. That comes together in August. Yeah, no,
6:02
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it comes together. It slowly comes together.
6:05
Speaker 1: But we also like to get people together during O
6:07
Speaker 1: t A s and and build that build that camaraderie together,
6:11
Speaker 1: you know, outside of practice too. So we just moved
6:13
Speaker 1: into a house. That's my goal is to finally get
6:16

7:55
Speaker 1: writer John Ozier for this week's Ozone Podcast. They had
7:58
Speaker 1: plenty to discuss about football, of course, but Muma talked
8:01
Speaker 1: about a medical condition that he's dealt with since middle school.
8:04
Speaker 1: Diagnosed with type one diabetes when you're in seventh grade. Great, right, Uh,
8:09
Speaker 1: tell me first about that. I've read a little bit
8:11
Speaker 1: about it, but it's fascinating how you must try to
8:15
Speaker 1: deal with that at that age and then sort of
8:17
Speaker 1: as you play through it with a high level athletic career. Yeah.
8:20
Speaker 1: So when I was first diagnosed, I was, you know,
8:22
Speaker 1: thirteen years old, and I was going through all the
8:24
Speaker 1: you know, type one diabetes symptoms. So you know, you're
8:27
Speaker 1: drinking water all the time, You're always going to the restroom,
8:29
Speaker 1: You're you know, always tired, and so like every night
8:32
Speaker 1: I wake up and have to go to the restroom
8:34
Speaker 1: at least once, and I'm turning on the faucet for
8:37
Speaker 1: about five minutes and just sitting there with my head
8:38
Speaker 1: underneath and you know, after school. Every day, I'm coming
8:41
Speaker 1: home just going straight to taking a nap. And at
8:44
Speaker 1: the time, I was like, man, you know, puberty kind
8:46
Speaker 1: of sucks. I'm going through all this and everything. But uh,
8:49
Speaker 1: you know, after a couple of weeks, my parents kind
8:51
Speaker 1: of took notice of the symptoms and I actually lost
8:53
Speaker 1: about thirty pounds over that little course. Um, that's when
8:56
Speaker 1: you should be really putting on weight. And so that's
8:58
Speaker 1: when I went in and got checked out. And you know,
9:00
Speaker 1: at the time, I think my blood sugar was like
9:02
Speaker 1: five fifty and it was the morning time, which for
9:05
Speaker 1: a normal person there ranges between seventy and one fifty,
9:08
Speaker 1: and so mine was like five fifty or something like that.
9:11
Speaker 1: And uh so then I was in the hospital all
9:13
Speaker 1: day until I got some insulent in me and got
9:14
Speaker 1: my numbers back down. And you know, now it's just
9:17
Speaker 1: really about managing it and just making sure that I'm
9:19
Speaker 1: always staying on top of it so I'm in that
9:21
Speaker 1: range and I'm able to you know, go play football,
9:23
Speaker 1: go work out, go do these things. And so that's
9:25
Speaker 1: just kind of been something that you know, I have
9:27
Speaker 1: to live with daily, but just just be extremely disciplined
9:30
Speaker 1: with and you know, everything's all right with it, and
9:31
Speaker 1: it's something great me if I'm wrong that you monitor
9:34
Speaker 1: during games at the end of quarters or halfs in
9:36
Speaker 1: that and in practice at the same time. But it's
9:39
Speaker 1: also something you've been doing for what now ten years? Yeah, No,
9:41
Speaker 1: it seems like it seems like it's been going on
9:43
Speaker 1: for a while now. But you know, definitely in games,
9:45
Speaker 1: what I'll do is I'll test my blood sugar out
9:47
Speaker 1: each quarter, uh, and then I'll adjust my numbers based
9:50
Speaker 1: off of if I need to give myself insulent, if
9:52
Speaker 1: my sugar is too high, if my blood shirt goes
9:54
Speaker 1: too low, I'll uh drink some gatorade and eat some
9:56
Speaker 1: fruit snacks or something like that. And so it's kind
9:59
Speaker 1: of similar with practice. I'll test about halfway through and
10:02
Speaker 1: make sure my numbers are still stable and kind of
10:03
Speaker 1: just go for their And the main reason I asked
10:06
Speaker 1: in reading about this with you, it strikes me that
10:08
Speaker 1: it's very important for you to help in educating kids
10:12
Speaker 1: younger than you and to be sort of an inspiration.
10:14
Speaker 1: Am I reading that right? Yeah? So when I was yeah,
10:17
Speaker 1: I was thirteen years old, and you know, the first
10:20
Speaker 1: thing I did was search NFL players with type one diabetes.
10:22
Speaker 1: And you know, Jay Cutler was the one that came
10:25
Speaker 1: up and I was I'm from Denver and so at
10:27
Speaker 1: the time it was a really big Broncos fan. He
10:29
Speaker 1: was at Denver for a little bit when he got diagnosed,
10:31
Speaker 1: and uh, that was kind of it, but I knew
10:34
Speaker 1: it was possible. So I think it's kind of being
10:36
Speaker 1: that voice for the younger athletes and not only football,
10:38
Speaker 1: just just athletes in general, UM, that have type one
10:41
Speaker 1: diabetes and just let them know that, you know, don't
10:44
Speaker 1: let this disease hold them back from going out and
10:46
Speaker 1: you know, achieving all their aspiration and goals that they have.
10:49
Speaker 1: And I assume find out about j at the time,
10:52
Speaker 1: even though probably some doctors had told you that it
10:54
Speaker 1: was possible. That always helps see somebody who's actually doing
10:57
Speaker 1: it always helps you. I definitely think. So, you know, today,
11:00
Speaker 1: like in the NFL, you have guys like Mark Andrews
11:03
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, Noah Gray and a couple of others, UM,
11:07
Speaker 1: and so just having multiple guys with type one diabetes
11:10
Speaker 1: have that success, and you know there's other sports. I'm
11:12
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting down with a group called uh
11:15
Speaker 1: it's it's the group called hope Diabetes for Hope or
11:18
Speaker 1: something like that, and um, we're kind of getting together
11:21
Speaker 1: with different professional athletes and canna be able to help
11:24
Speaker 1: some younger athletes, uh and kind of be those voice
11:27
Speaker 1: for all those different sports. The full conversation on the
11:29
Speaker 1: ozone Podcast on Jaguars dot Com or the Official Jaguars
11:33
Speaker 1: podcast Network. Now to the Linebacker Room. On the Huddle
11:37
Speaker 1: Up Podcast, Lucky Brooks, John Ojan and I discussed the
11:40
Speaker 1: influx of talent at the middle linebacker position and what
11:43
Speaker 1: kind of role Chad MoMA could play. I for one, JP,
11:47
Speaker 1: I am worn out on there being so many good
11:50
Speaker 1: players around here. I mean, I guess that's why I'm mad.
11:56
Speaker 1: We've had too many of them. Been a problem for
12:00
Speaker 1: these coaching staff for uh for decades, you know, figuring
12:03
Speaker 1: out where to put good players. Well, I think so
12:07
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Like the best time, the last time
12:09
Speaker 1: we saw a really good defense and a really good
12:11
Speaker 1: team was twenty seventeen. Look at the linebackers that was
12:14
Speaker 1: that were on that squad and how they utilized them,
12:18
Speaker 1: Telvin and Jack and pause, Like, they found a way
12:22
Speaker 1: to utilize the talents and they put him on the field.
12:25
Speaker 1: I think you could have a similar situation. I'm not
12:28
Speaker 1: saying that they're going to recreate Saxonville because I still
12:31
Speaker 1: think we're lacking a little bit when from the past
12:33
Speaker 1: fresh aspect. But that defense had a lot of speed,
12:37
Speaker 1: a lot of athleticism, and a lot of versatility, and
12:39
Speaker 1: they were able to use that to their advantage. Remember
12:41
Speaker 1: JP on that two has a seventeen team. Uh, you
12:46
Speaker 1: know Dante Fowler, I don't know that he really had
12:49
Speaker 1: a true position on that team. You know, he wouldn't.
12:53
Speaker 1: I guess he was a starter, not really over yawn,
12:55
Speaker 1: you know. I like they're really well, I mean except
12:58
Speaker 1: for when he didn't that one. Yeah, but he really
13:02
Speaker 1: didn't you look back, he really didn't never roll per se.
13:06
Speaker 1: But he had ten sacks and forced a bunch of fumbles.
13:08
Speaker 1: And he wasn't the best player in that defense, but
13:12
Speaker 1: good enough to find a place for him. Aaron Coleman
13:14
Speaker 1: was the nickel you know, and played something. You know,
13:16
Speaker 1: so uh, I'm into what Bucky's saying. I mean, it's
13:20
Speaker 1: when you I've never known a team in the NFL
13:25
Speaker 1: had two whine about having too many guys who could play.
13:30
Speaker 1: Certainly haven't known it around here. So to me, the
13:35
Speaker 1: Moment pick was a huge step in the right direction
13:40
Speaker 1: philosophically for that reason. You know, yeah, I think I
13:44
Speaker 1: think it will pay dividends down the line. This is
13:48
Speaker 1: a really good player, man. I hate to keep comparing
13:51
Speaker 1: him to his former teammate Logan Wilson and what Logan
13:53
Speaker 1: Wilson has been able to do for the Sincinnati Bengals,
13:55
Speaker 1: but you have to compare him because stylistically, man, they
13:58
Speaker 1: play so similarly in terms of the way that they
14:00
Speaker 1: control the middlefield, the way they're able to play in coverage,
14:03
Speaker 1: the way they get their hands on the ball, and
14:04
Speaker 1: they make a ton of disruptive plays. Moment strikes me
14:08
Speaker 1: as the same kind of player. And what was impressive
14:10
Speaker 1: And I know sometimes like this stuff can be for show,
14:13
Speaker 1: but how quickly he wanted to dive into the playbook,
14:16
Speaker 1: how he wanted to playbook right away, and how he
14:18
Speaker 1: wanted ownership, and how I think ballk He was the
14:21
Speaker 1: one that mentioned, hey, he's a green dot player, and
14:24
Speaker 1: people have to understand the green dot player is the
14:27
Speaker 1: one who makes all the calls. He's the one that
14:28
Speaker 1: communicates with the coaches. He has the uh Mike and
14:32
Speaker 1: the earpiece in the helmet. He's the traffic cop. And
14:36
Speaker 1: for him to want to embrace that and to do
14:38
Speaker 1: what he's always done to me, that makes it easy
14:41
Speaker 1: because if he does become that, then it frees up
14:43
Speaker 1: the other guys to just focusing on plane and that
14:47
Speaker 1: allows them to play fast. That allows them to play free,
14:49
Speaker 1: and hopefully it leads to a bunch of plays, a
14:51
Speaker 1: bunch of splash plays. This is the Huddle Up Podcast
14:54
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, John Oshan and Bucky Brooks and a
14:56
Speaker 1: dog in the background. Bucky, what's what's the lay of
14:59
Speaker 1: the lay end with the dog situation? That dog has
15:02
Speaker 1: That dog has a dog dog mentality over there, dog mentality,
15:06
Speaker 1: so that that might be Luna. But I don't know
15:08
Speaker 1: if there's Luna or if there's Parmesan, because Parmesan is
15:12
Speaker 1: the dog next door and so sometimes they get to going.
15:15
Speaker 1: And so today I think you have the gardeners running
15:19
Speaker 1: around people all over the place. So has a gardener
15:24
Speaker 1: must be nice? Yeah, that's uh okay. Hey, Bucky, how's
15:29
Speaker 1: the gardener. I didn't say big as your garden. I
15:33
Speaker 1: didn't say it was my garden. There's a gardener running
15:36
Speaker 1: around next, that's a gardener that somebody who would name
15:40
Speaker 1: their dog Parmesan. It's fair and that's not my dog.
15:45
Speaker 1: Is my dog is the neighbor's dog? A dog mentality

15:58
Speaker 1: week with the twenty seventh over roll pick in the
16:01
Speaker 1: two NFL draft, linebacker Devin Lloyd. He joined Jeff Lockerman
16:05
Speaker 1: and Me on Jaguar Is Happy Our Radio Thursday afternoon
16:08
Speaker 1: and explained his transition to the NFL so far. Let's
16:11
Speaker 1: get to arriving in Jacksonville. Now, rookie minicamp comes and goes,
16:16
Speaker 1: a couple of three days on the field, and now
16:18
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this past week, we've been out
16:20
Speaker 1: there with the veterans for the first time. O t
16:23
Speaker 1: a s next week. How's it been mixing with these
16:25
Speaker 1: guys in the building finally for the first time. Yeah,
16:28
Speaker 1: it's been cool. It's been cool. Um, you know, it's
16:30
Speaker 1: definitely obviously different in college, but um, I think everyone's
16:34
Speaker 1: been really welcoming for the most part as far as
16:36
Speaker 1: just guys in the building, um, and really extending their
16:40
Speaker 1: hand to me and kind of um really just giving
16:42
Speaker 1: me advice you know, um on the field, um, even
16:45
Speaker 1: off the field, um, in the locker room things in
16:47
Speaker 1: that nature. So um, it's been a good vibe and
16:49
Speaker 1: I can tell everybody around here is hungry to win,
16:52
Speaker 1: which you know, I absolutely love you know what I'm saying.
16:54
Speaker 1: So um, it's been a good few days of work
16:57
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I can't wait to keep it
17:00
Speaker 1: going for folks around here, Devon, it's a brand new
17:02
Speaker 1: linebacker room, right, I mean it feels that way. There's
17:05
Speaker 1: a few guys that are back, but it's been rebuilt.
17:07
Speaker 1: I mean that is from Luca and you're in momas
17:10
Speaker 1: in in the draft. That's a lot of change in
17:12
Speaker 1: one years. Stacked room. You guys feel that way too. Yeah,
17:15
Speaker 1: we got a lot of guys in there, um that
17:18
Speaker 1: are really good and that can do a lot of
17:21
Speaker 1: good things, you know for um the team. So um,
17:24
Speaker 1: it's competitive as you expect. Um. But I mean we're all,
17:27
Speaker 1: you know, getting each other better. We're all helping each other, um,
17:31
Speaker 1: you know, talking through things in the meeting room. So um,
17:33
Speaker 1: it's a it's a friendly competition, you say. I mean
17:36
Speaker 1: there's always a little bit of a bonding experience with
17:39
Speaker 1: the rookie class when you guys come in because you're
17:42
Speaker 1: the rookies, you know, and whether you guys are drafted
17:44
Speaker 1: or undrafted. And then also you've got a fellow first
17:47
Speaker 1: round draft pick and Drayvon Walker. That's probably, uh, one
17:50
Speaker 1: of the coolest experience I think that you'll ever have
17:53
Speaker 1: is coming in as a rookie because you'll have a
17:54
Speaker 1: bond with these guys because you came in together and
17:56
Speaker 1: you're gonna grow up in the league together. And have
17:58
Speaker 1: you gotten to spend some time I'm with some of
18:00
Speaker 1: the other guys so far. Yeah, Um, so I know
18:03
Speaker 1: me personally, I've been hammering my playbook in my free time,
18:07
Speaker 1: so I haven't been doing much outside of the facility.
18:10
Speaker 1: But um, in the facility and everything, yeah, well we'll
18:13
Speaker 1: chop it up and um you know, still you know,
18:15
Speaker 1: getting to really, um get acclimated with the large majority
18:19
Speaker 1: of you know, the players on the team. But um,
18:21
Speaker 1: but yeah, you know, i'd say, you know, the rookies
18:23
Speaker 1: are pretty pretty tight with each other. What's the what's
18:25
Speaker 1: the field with coach Peterson? What do you like about Yeah, um,
18:30
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he's very Uh, I say he's a
18:34
Speaker 1: player's coach just because you know he does know how
18:36
Speaker 1: to talk to the players, and um, you know he
18:38
Speaker 1: has uh pretty good um communication with the players, I
18:42
Speaker 1: guess you could say. Um. But also I can tell
18:45
Speaker 1: he's a winner. You know, he's got that mindset, um
18:48
Speaker 1: that he's gonna do whatever you can for the team
18:50
Speaker 1: and whatever is best for the team. UM. So you
18:53
Speaker 1: know I love that, and um, you know, I mean
18:54
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to keep it going, you know, continue
18:57
Speaker 1: to uh to see what everyone is about, you know,
19:00
Speaker 1: watching and watching the film on your Utah. You did
19:04
Speaker 1: so many different things. You were played will linebacker. Sometimes
19:08
Speaker 1: you were a deep medal third player when like a
19:11
Speaker 1: like a cover two playing that deep metal you blitzed
19:14
Speaker 1: off the edge. You had a lot of different staff
19:16
Speaker 1: filling numbers. What do you envision yourself doing in the
19:21
Speaker 1: National Football League at what type of position? Because you're
19:24
Speaker 1: so varied and you can do so many different things.
19:27
Speaker 1: What's your strongest suit and what do you see yourself doing?
19:30
Speaker 1: Me personally? UM, I mean I feel like especially in
19:33
Speaker 1: this three four scheme. Um, obviously I'm learning inside linebacker
19:37
Speaker 1: right now. Obviously I want to be able to transition
19:39
Speaker 1: to play any of those four, be interchangeable. Um, and
19:42
Speaker 1: do what I did you know in college, except at
19:44
Speaker 1: a higher level it um what more success? Um? I
19:47
Speaker 1: mean really I see myself see myself as somebody who
19:50
Speaker 1: can do anything that you can ask a linebacker to do,
19:52
Speaker 1: you know. And I think the game is transitioning more
19:56
Speaker 1: from you know, it's getting just you know, I mean,
19:59
Speaker 1: do is too. You've got to be athletes now too,
20:02
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, um, you know I
20:04
Speaker 1: kind of want to be you know that that type word.
20:07
Speaker 1: You know, he's positioned list you can play wherever and
20:10
Speaker 1: do it at a high level. Half success, not just
20:12
Speaker 1: be a liability and not just put him out there,
20:14
Speaker 1: but be able to be elite. Jaguars Happy. Our radio
