- 0:52Speaker 1: you're with us today. As ot as continue. What's up, Logs?
- 0:55Speaker 1: How are you doing? I'm just I'm having flashed. When
- 0:58Speaker 1: Joe starting to talk about out JP Shadowick wide receiver.
- 1:02Speaker 1: There was that comedy skit that was done years ago,
- 1:05Speaker 1: back in about the mid eighties where the guy did
- 1:09Speaker 1: did the college football skit. Did you ever see that?
- 1:12Speaker 1: You never saw talking about. I'm gonna have to show
- 1:15Speaker 1: it to you during the break because it's not not
- 1:17Speaker 1: all exactly clean. But when Joe said that you're gonna
- 1:21Speaker 1: try out for a wide receiver, I was thinking of
- 1:23Speaker 1: that skit. Yeah, So anyway, some people out there might
- 1:27Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking about. Here's what we're getting to.
- 1:31Speaker 1: When you guys see this, you're gonna go, oh wow,
- 1:33Speaker 1: oh goodness. I can't wait to see. Here's what we're
- 1:37Speaker 1: getting to of the program tonight. Nick Foles is back
- 1:40Speaker 1: at practice. Will break that down today. Todd Wash spoke
- 1:44Speaker 1: with the Jaguars media and discuss his rookie pass rusher,
- 1:49Speaker 1: Josh Allen. That's what Josh Allen's going to be, by
- 1:51Speaker 1: the way, and we'll go around the National Football League.
- 1:54Speaker 1: We'll hear about the executive director of the p A,
- 1:58Speaker 1: Tomor Smith, had some comments this week. We'll break that
- 2:01Speaker 1: down a little bit later. Let's start today though, with
- 2:04Speaker 1: Doug Moron Tuesday giving us the news that Nick Foles
- 2:08Speaker 1: was away from practice for personal reason. And obviously, you
- 2:11Speaker 1: guys know it's it's a personal situation. So you know, um,
- 2:15Speaker 1: you know our you know, thoughts and prayers that you
- 2:18Speaker 1: know with Nick and his family, and you know, he
- 2:20Speaker 1: knows like anything else that we're here from him, and
- 2:22Speaker 1: you know, the football part, we'll just figure that out.
- 2:25Speaker 1: You know, the football part was sidetracked, of course. And
- 2:28Speaker 1: when Doug Moron says thoughts and prayers, that's when you
- 2:30Speaker 1: know something is pretty serious, fairly serious, and it certainly was.
- 2:35Speaker 1: When Nick Fole's wife on Instagram later posted that she
- 2:39Speaker 1: had miscarried and that was fifteen months and awful news
- 2:42Speaker 1: for the Folest family. But through that tragedy, now Nick
- 2:46Speaker 1: Foles is back in the office. He was back in
- 2:49Speaker 1: here today. Yeah. I first of all, I mean, holy cow,
- 2:52Speaker 1: I can't imagine what what Nick and his wife are
- 2:54Speaker 1: going through. Uh wow, what a traumatic time for them.
- 2:59Speaker 1: And obviously I think a lot of people's thoughts and
- 3:02Speaker 1: prayers go to them in that situation, because they're not
- 3:05Speaker 1: the only people that have had something like that happened
- 3:08Speaker 1: to them. But I think, as as a player, sometimes
- 3:11Speaker 1: when you go through some type of personal crisis or
- 3:14Speaker 1: family crisis or whatever whatever have you, going back to
- 3:19Speaker 1: work is almost kind of a a bastion of of
- 3:24Speaker 1: taking a break. It's a it's a bastion of of
- 3:27Speaker 1: health and well being sometimes because when you're when you're home,
- 3:31Speaker 1: or when you're in the environment where there has been
- 3:34Speaker 1: a tragedy or there's been something tough going on, sometimes
- 3:37Speaker 1: it's nice to go back and back to work and
- 3:39Speaker 1: take your mind off of it just for a little while,
- 3:42Speaker 1: to get that that little bit of sane. This back
- 3:44Speaker 1: so um so, I mean, I'm glad to see him back,
- 3:47Speaker 1: and I can tell you and I know we're gonna
- 3:49Speaker 1: get to this. The difference in practice from today compared
- 3:55Speaker 1: to what it was on Tuesday, Wow, what a difference.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Quite a difference. And now I did air I said
- 4:02Speaker 1: fifteen months, fifteen weeks was the time frame there. Good
- 4:06Speaker 1: to have Nick back in the building and hope all
- 4:08Speaker 1: as well moving forward for the fullest family. Now back
- 4:11Speaker 1: to that practice on Tuesday, it was a lighter feel.
- 4:15Speaker 1: They didn't stay on the field as long as they
- 4:17Speaker 1: have an O t A s um at least the
- 4:20Speaker 1: first week of O t A s It was a
- 4:21Speaker 1: much shorter practice coming off a three day weekend. Doug
- 4:24Speaker 1: Maron didn't want really overstress anybody. But that said, without
- 4:29Speaker 1: the starting quarterback out there, things looked a little bit different. Well,
- 4:32Speaker 1: it was. It was a lot different, and and I
- 4:34Speaker 1: think part of the reason is because you had you
- 4:37Speaker 1: had a lot of coaching going on on Tuesday's practice,
- 4:39Speaker 1: And I think part of that was by design, because
- 4:42Speaker 1: I think the practice tempo and the pace was backed
- 4:45Speaker 1: off significantly, and I think Doug Maron alluded to that somewhat.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Coming off of the holiday break. When you get the
- 4:50Speaker 1: players back, they're coming back from all parts unknown and
- 4:54Speaker 1: and I'm sure they were a little little I guess
- 4:57Speaker 1: you could say rubber legged, so to speak, coming back
- 4:59Speaker 1: from a break and uh and understandable. But the quarterbacks
- 5:02Speaker 1: that day, Alex Magoo and Tanner Lee and and Gardner
- 5:06Speaker 1: Minshew the second the rookie quarterback sixth round pick, I mean,
- 5:10Speaker 1: none of them looked particularly great and you could tell
- 5:13Speaker 1: that the tempo just wasn't there. And I think one
- 5:15Speaker 1: thing I think that you've come to see with Nick
- 5:17Speaker 1: Foles when he's out there on the field, and I
- 5:20Speaker 1: was talking to Frank Frangie about this last week, was
- 5:24Speaker 1: that when he's on the field and compared to years past,
- 5:28Speaker 1: you see much more communication going on between Nick Foles
- 5:32Speaker 1: and the players, Whereas in the past it it was
- 5:36Speaker 1: always Blake Bortles and the quarterbacks coach, like going back
- 5:41Speaker 1: to the offensive coordinator, and whereas you're seeing Nick having
- 5:46Speaker 1: conversation with the players. And what that tells me is
- 5:49Speaker 1: is two full one. It tells me that one, he's
- 5:52Speaker 1: he's got some great leadership skills because he communicates with everybody.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I think first and foremost. Number two is is that
- 5:58Speaker 1: he has a very strong asked of the offense and
- 6:02Speaker 1: he's not having to go back and find out did
- 6:05Speaker 1: I do something right or did I do something wrong?
- 6:07Speaker 1: And instead he knows what he did and what knows
- 6:10Speaker 1: whether it was right or wrong. So now he's trying
- 6:12Speaker 1: to get an offensive teammate on the same page that
- 6:16Speaker 1: he is, whether it be a running back, tight end,
- 6:18Speaker 1: or wide receiver. And that's and that's good to see.
- 6:20Speaker 1: It's good to see the quarterback having conversation with the
- 6:24Speaker 1: other guys in the huddle as opposed to haven't had
- 6:27Speaker 1: that conversation with the coach. Not to say there probably
- 6:30Speaker 1: aren't conversations off the field between the coaches and the
- 6:35Speaker 1: and it happens on the field too, but the frequency
- 6:38Speaker 1: of the communication of the quarterback and the players needs
- 6:42Speaker 1: to happen a lot. I mean, when you when you
- 6:45Speaker 1: watched Tom Brady in practice going at Foxboro, and look,
- 6:49Speaker 1: I'm not saying Nick Foles is Tom Brady, because I
- 6:51Speaker 1: mean Tom Grady is the greatest of all time. There's
- 6:53Speaker 1: no comparison Tom. Part of the reason why two years
- 6:56Speaker 1: ago up did you ever see Tom Brady communic ate
- 7:00Speaker 1: a lot with his position, coach or Josh McDaniel. You
- 7:03Speaker 1: saw quite a bit. But after the play, but during
- 7:07Speaker 1: eleven and eleven, he's the coach on the field, stay
- 7:11Speaker 1: on the sideline. Yeah, he's talking to the guys in
- 7:14Speaker 1: the huddle, the guys that he's working with, the guys
- 7:16Speaker 1: that he has to throw the football too. And I
- 7:19Speaker 1: think that's the thing that really stuck with me with
- 7:21Speaker 1: Tom Brady. And then to turn around and see Nick
- 7:24Speaker 1: falls and it's early still, but that's also a good sign.
- 7:28Speaker 1: But to see him communicating with his teammates the really
- 7:31Speaker 1: good sign of the backup quarterbacks on this roster. What
- 7:35Speaker 1: stands out so far positively, somebody needs to rise up
- 7:41Speaker 1: and and and clearly be the number two because you
- 7:46Speaker 1: kind of have three different guys right now. I like
- 7:50Speaker 1: the way that Minshew the second the rookie is is.
- 7:54Speaker 1: I like his tempo. I like his anticipation for a
- 7:58Speaker 1: rookie coming in. It seems like he's got a pretty
- 8:00Speaker 1: good graph. I wouldn't say a strong grasp of the offense,
- 8:03Speaker 1: because no rookie does Tanner Lee has. When you draw
- 8:07Speaker 1: up a quarterback, okay, you're gonna say we're gonna make
- 8:10Speaker 1: him six four, we're gonna make him two five pounds,
- 8:13Speaker 1: we're gonna give him a strong arm, and he's gonna
- 8:16Speaker 1: be able to make all the throws, and that's what
- 8:18Speaker 1: kind of what you got in Tanner Lee. But sometimes
- 8:20Speaker 1: you just don't know if the ball is going to
- 8:22Speaker 1: be accurate or if the ball is gonna be in
- 8:24Speaker 1: the right zip code sometimes, so so you kind of
- 8:27Speaker 1: got a little bit of both with those two guys.
- 8:29Speaker 1: And and Alex mgoo is is a guy that can run,
- 8:34Speaker 1: and you watch him running practice, he's uh he In fact,
- 8:38Speaker 1: if if you were looking for a backup for a
- 8:40Speaker 1: Blake Bortles type of quarterback or a Tyrod Taylor type
- 8:46Speaker 1: of quarterback, quarterback that likes to move, uh, that has
- 8:50Speaker 1: the ability to move, and in fact, uh the quarterback
- 8:54Speaker 1: in Seattle um Russell Wilson. Alex McGoo is is a
- 8:59Speaker 1: per back up to old Russell Wilson type, and he
- 9:03Speaker 1: was there because Mago likes to run, and so any
- 9:07Speaker 1: type of quarterback that has pretty good mobilities, it's kind
- 9:09Speaker 1: of in that same mold of Goose. So you kind
- 9:11Speaker 1: of got a little bit of everything when you're looking
- 9:14Speaker 1: at the other three quarterbacks besides Nick Foles, that'll obviously
- 9:17Speaker 1: shake out closer to the season training camp and all that.
- 9:20Speaker 1: But let me say this, even though that the tempo
- 9:22Speaker 1: was a little bit off on Tuesday, and I think
- 9:25Speaker 1: part of it was that Nick Foles was not there,
- 9:28Speaker 1: let's not say that Nick Foles came back today and
- 9:31Speaker 1: was absolutely perfect or impeccable. There were interceptions, a couple
- 9:36Speaker 1: of interceptions today and did a lot of red zones.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Couple of me were in the red zone. But look,
- 9:41Speaker 1: it's uh, that's what the all seasons for. And he's
- 9:44Speaker 1: challenging guys. But there are some thros jp that he
- 9:46Speaker 1: makes that when you see it, he's thrown it in
- 9:49Speaker 1: the tight windows. He's throwing it on time, and the
- 9:52Speaker 1: receiver doesn't have to do anything but put his hands
- 9:54Speaker 1: up at times and every now and again when he misses,
- 9:56Speaker 1: sometimes he misses high. And for the most part, Nick
- 10:00Speaker 1: Foles has been been really fun to watch. You are
- 10:03Speaker 1: not the only one that has noticed that, by the way,
- 10:05Speaker 1: A j Boy, a Jaguar's cornerback, has noticed what Nick
- 10:08Speaker 1: Foles brings to this offense. Um. You know, I was
- 10:11Speaker 1: talking to some of the younger guys, some of the
- 10:12Speaker 1: d ds last week. I was even talking about coaches
- 10:14Speaker 1: frustrating because you have a really good quarterback, and you
- 10:17Speaker 1: know there's certain players that she was making past years,
- 10:20Speaker 1: and just you're there even when you make the right
- 10:23Speaker 1: breaks and everything. But the ball is the only where
- 10:25Speaker 1: the receiver could catch it. And you can see that
- 10:27Speaker 1: he's a leader out there. The way he carries his offense.
- 10:29Speaker 1: You know, the tempo of the offense is different. They're
- 10:32Speaker 1: more beat, they're attacking us, and you know they're gonna
- 10:34Speaker 1: give us looks. For example, I think there was a
- 10:36Speaker 1: d ball, Uh they I broke up, but you could tell,
- 10:40Speaker 1: like the way he was pumping the post safety to
- 10:41Speaker 1: get him up the failing and then come back and
- 10:43Speaker 1: read his reads. We wasn't seeing that a lot, and
- 10:46Speaker 1: you know that's something gonna make us better going into
- 10:47Speaker 1: the season. And a j Boy earlier this week discussing
- 10:50Speaker 1: what Fools brings to that offense and how different it
- 10:54Speaker 1: looks for a guy having a cover receivers too. I
- 10:56Speaker 1: mean the balls in a certain places there pretty much
- 10:59Speaker 1: every time. Well, I think also having a quarterback that
- 11:02Speaker 1: is better than what you had from last year. I
- 11:06Speaker 1: think it makes the defensive backs better too, because it
- 11:10Speaker 1: makes them stay on their game and they know, like
- 11:13Speaker 1: Aga was talking about, right, there that the ball is
- 11:15Speaker 1: the ball placement is going to be better, the accuracy
- 11:18Speaker 1: is gonna be better. So it challenges the defense to
- 11:21Speaker 1: be better themselves, and that's a good thing. The better,
- 11:25Speaker 1: the better play that you have in practice, then the
- 11:28Speaker 1: better play you're gonna have all around as an entire team.
- 11:31Speaker 1: And uh, greatness kind of. I don't want to say
- 11:34Speaker 1: greatness makes greatness, but look, when you have great practices,
- 11:37Speaker 1: great practices lead to better games. Sometimes I've seen practices
- 11:41Speaker 1: that weren't so great and they didn't lead to great performances.
- 11:45Speaker 1: But it's not very often that you see where you
- 11:47Speaker 1: have really strong practices that don't lead to strong performances
- 11:51Speaker 1: in games. Usually one has to happen before the other. That. Um,
- 11:55Speaker 1: good to have Nick Foles back out there today. Um,
- 11:58Speaker 1: there are a few players today and missing it is voluntary.
- 12:03Speaker 1: We know this slogs. But today you know he can
- 12:05Speaker 1: got Quay out there again. Telvin Smith obviously, Leonard Burnette
- 12:09Speaker 1: not there today. He's communicated with the team. Markis Lee out,
- 12:12Speaker 1: d D Westbrook, Jalen Ramsey. There's your list of guys
- 12:15Speaker 1: not here today if you if you're interested. Yeah, and uh,
- 12:19Speaker 1: there were some guys that didn't practice because of injury,
- 12:21Speaker 1: and I don't mean, I don't know if there's that
- 12:23Speaker 1: changes daily but changes all the time. But yeah, I
- 12:26Speaker 1: mean it was look at the guys are getting working.
- 12:29Speaker 1: And it was also good to see Cam Robinson out
- 12:32Speaker 1: at practice this week kind of walking around and it
- 12:34Speaker 1: wasn't practicing, but it was good just to see him
- 12:38Speaker 1: the first week that they had the O T A
- 12:41Speaker 1: don't I don't even think he was out there, So
- 12:42Speaker 1: it's good see him and he looks good. I mean
- 12:44Speaker 1: he looks big. Usually when of guys coming back from
- 12:48Speaker 1: some type of a knee, which in his case it
- 12:51Speaker 1: was the A C L, you have some type of
- 12:54Speaker 1: atrophy of a calf and when you can watch a
- 12:57Speaker 1: guy or look at a guy from behind and you
- 13:00Speaker 1: look at his two calves and you go, oh, that's
- 13:02Speaker 1: the leg that he had, the A C meaning well,
- 13:05Speaker 1: I mean the muscle is not as big as what
- 13:07Speaker 1: it is or what it was. So so for example,
- 13:10Speaker 1: if a guy had to write a C L, the
- 13:11Speaker 1: right calf typically will be smaller than the left calf,
- 13:13Speaker 1: and you can look at a guy and go, Okay,
- 13:15Speaker 1: that's the leg that he had. The A C l
- 13:16Speaker 1: and when you stand behind Cam you really can't tell
- 13:20Speaker 1: which calf looks to have any atrophy whatsoever. So I mean,
- 13:24Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that can be a good sign
- 13:26Speaker 1: or not. I don't know, but it's just something that's
- 13:28Speaker 1: good to see and that he looks big, he looks strong,
- 13:30Speaker 1: looks healthy, and uh, at some point, I'm sure that
- 13:34Speaker 1: he's gonna be out there doing individual drills and then
- 13:37Speaker 1: gradually progressed to the point where he starts to do more.
- 13:40Speaker 1: And maybe that's not even until you get to training camp. Yeah,
- 13:43Speaker 1: you don't want to rush that at all. But also
- 13:46Speaker 1: because of the early nature in which he sustained the injury,
- 13:49Speaker 1: he may end up and I would not be surprised
- 13:51Speaker 1: that he may end up starting to do some individual
- 13:55Speaker 1: drills at some point, whether it be in mini camp
- 13:58Speaker 1: or O T A S or maybe maybe not, who knows.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I mean, here's the best part. There's no need to
- 14:05Speaker 1: rush him. You know his his date. What you want
- 14:08Speaker 1: your target date of getting him ready and getting Marquis
- 14:12Speaker 1: Lee ready as well is opening day if that works
- 14:17Speaker 1: for them individually, but in opening days typically what you're
- 14:20Speaker 1: worried about, all right, we'll come back in a moment,
- 14:22Speaker 1: we'll discuss Josh Allen. He hasn't been on the field.
- 14:24Speaker 1: He had one o t a practice and then he's
- 14:26Speaker 1: been on the field. But he's right, But he has
- 14:28Speaker 1: been practiced, hasn't been between the lines. So we'll we'll
- 14:31Speaker 1: hear from Todd wash when we come back. The summer schedule.

- 17:58Speaker 1: best barbecue in town. That is Bonos. Head to Bonos today.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Fifteen locations on the first coast and six more. It's
- 18:06Speaker 1: t i a a bank field. You see Bonos because
- 18:09Speaker 1: the official barbecue of the Jacksonville Jaguars. You want to
- 18:11Speaker 1: great barbecue. You want Bonos, plenty of parking, clean family restaurants,
- 18:16Speaker 1: and know, by the way, the best barbecue you have
- 18:19Speaker 1: ever had. So if you want great barbecue, had to
- 18:21Speaker 1: Bonos today, the official barbecue of the Jacksonville Jaguar. You know,
- 18:43Speaker 1: I don't know how much we move him around. Once again,
- 18:45Speaker 1: he's a he's a defensive end. So um, you know
- 18:48Speaker 1: him and Yannick play the same position, obviously opposite each
- 18:52Speaker 1: other on rushdowns. Um, but you've got a lot of
- 18:54Speaker 1: you know, the ability to drop him, rush him and
- 18:57Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So we're excited. I didn't
- 18:59Speaker 1: think we'd get him a seven and h he's there,
- 19:01Speaker 1: so obviously we gotta take advantage of it. He was.
- 19:03Speaker 1: He did a real nice job of dropping in college. Um,
- 19:07Speaker 1: I can't honestly say, being a D line coach that
- 19:09Speaker 1: I get too excited about it. You know, fifteen sack
- 19:12Speaker 1: guy dropping into coverage. Um, you know, so you know,
- 19:16Speaker 1: hopefully you won't see too that much of that. It's
- 19:19Speaker 1: Todd wash defensive coordinator today before O t a practice
- 19:23Speaker 1: number five And can we clarify he said a fifteen
- 19:27Speaker 1: SAT guy dropping into coverage. I believe he had seventeen.
- 19:30Speaker 1: It's seventeen and a half. But yes, that's fun. Yeah, anyway,
- 19:35Speaker 1: j P shattered, he will drop into coverage. That part
- 19:38Speaker 1: of part of having guys that have the ability to
- 19:43Speaker 1: do both liking gowk Way and like Josh Allen, is
- 19:46Speaker 1: that you can do some creative things as far as
- 19:49Speaker 1: people think, Okay, what do you mean by that? I
- 19:52Speaker 1: think of the Pittsburgh Steelers when sometimes when they have
- 19:55Speaker 1: lined up when they've had their great defenses of the past,
- 19:58Speaker 1: that they would send different eyes cornerback safeties and then
- 20:02Speaker 1: drop some of the linebackers that they had in the coverage.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Troy Paula Mala thinking how many times he would come
- 20:09Speaker 1: in blitzing in the line of scrimmage. Well, when you
- 20:11Speaker 1: do that, you've got to drop somebody. So if Josh
- 20:13Speaker 1: Allen and Yannike and Gokua have the ability to do both,
- 20:17Speaker 1: it gives you, as a defensive coordinator a lot of
- 20:19Speaker 1: options to be able to dial up different blitzes, to
- 20:22Speaker 1: send guys from different places that maybe normally people aren't
- 20:26Speaker 1: normally accustomed to seeing and surprise an offensive coordinator or
- 20:29Speaker 1: surprise the scheme. But Josh Allen, make no mistake about it.
- 20:32Speaker 1: When you have a player that has fifteen or seventeen
- 20:36Speaker 1: and a half sacks, whatever you want to say it is,
- 20:39Speaker 1: you definitely want that player rushing the pastor because that
- 20:41Speaker 1: is his strength. And then that's what I expect him
- 20:44Speaker 1: to do a lot of Let's go to the phone line. Now,
- 20:47Speaker 1: welcome in the third member of our happy our team.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Tony Vaselli is in an airport somewhere, Tony, how are you.
- 20:55Speaker 1: I'm good. There's nothing better than offensive tackle and they're
- 20:58Speaker 1: a great pass us and dropping the cup. It's like, oh, perfect,
- 21:03Speaker 1: take one of your best players and put him into
- 21:05Speaker 1: something that he's not as good as, uh as rushing
- 21:08Speaker 1: the passer. It was always a welcome sight for any
- 21:10Speaker 1: offensive linement. Now. We we used to have a coach
- 21:13Speaker 1: when I was in New York and I'm not gonna
- 21:15Speaker 1: say his name. I'll protect protect him for now. But
- 21:19Speaker 1: occasionally we would have guys that are were our best
- 21:21Speaker 1: pass rushers and we would be dropping in the coverage
- 21:24Speaker 1: and I used to sit there and go, wait a minute,
- 21:25Speaker 1: Wait a minute. I mean, aren't we supposed to have
- 21:28Speaker 1: put players in the position to do what they do best? Right?
- 21:32Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that what a coach is supposed to do.
- 21:34Speaker 1: And we would have certain guys rushing because they thought
- 21:37Speaker 1: that they could line up a safety on the edge
- 21:39Speaker 1: Tony and speed rush him around and he could beat
- 21:42Speaker 1: a tackle just because he was faster than a defensive end.
- 21:45Speaker 1: But let's not forget the safety doesn't have the same
- 21:48Speaker 1: strength or the ability to bend the corner. So if
- 21:51Speaker 1: the tackle gets one hand on that safety, the game's
- 21:54Speaker 1: over for him anyway. I mean, a safety rushing Jeff
- 21:58Speaker 1: is a waste of time. I mean us, it's gonna
- 22:00Speaker 1: be a complete surprise. And they time the snap perfectly.
- 22:04Speaker 1: There's an offensive lignment. If you do your homework, you
- 22:06Speaker 1: can tell you you see the front, you understand when
- 22:08Speaker 1: someone's dropping, what they're doing, and if you see a
- 22:11Speaker 1: safety coming. It's like a playoff because I don't care
- 22:14Speaker 1: how fast you are. If you don't have power you
- 22:15Speaker 1: and you don't know how to ease your hands and
- 22:17Speaker 1: turn the corner, it's not gonna matter. Well, the Steelers did,
- 22:21Speaker 1: but he could time that snap so well, how would
- 22:25Speaker 1: that different? But he because he'd becoming the A gap
- 22:28Speaker 1: B gaps and he was hitting on the run and
- 22:31Speaker 1: he had a great uh knack of time and that
- 22:34Speaker 1: time and the snap count and would get into the
- 22:36Speaker 1: gap and a lot of times they would be still
- 22:39Speaker 1: rushing multiple guys and they get a free run at
- 22:42Speaker 1: him at the back. Um, and he was coming from
- 22:45Speaker 1: the second level. A lot of times you get confusion
- 22:49Speaker 1: when you have people coming out of the sky, which
- 22:51Speaker 1: means the secondary level. UM, you can get away with that.
- 22:55Speaker 1: There's some effective blitzes, don't get me wrong, But if
- 22:58Speaker 1: you're literally gonna drop a guy, you don't disguise it well.
- 23:04Speaker 1: The speed of a safety is not going to scare
- 23:05Speaker 1: much offense, most off the top. Yeah, it'll be it'll
- 23:09Speaker 1: be a fun to watch. How to me how it'll
- 23:12Speaker 1: be fun to watch or exciting to watch or curious
- 23:15Speaker 1: to watch? Exactly? How are they going to divvy up
- 23:17Speaker 1: the snaps and based defensive down between Gowckway and Josh Allen,
- 23:21Speaker 1: Because as Todd Walsh was staying there, they both play
- 23:23Speaker 1: the same position. But when you get the sub personnel,
- 23:26Speaker 1: which sub personnel can mean your nickel package, you're dying package. Uh.
- 23:31Speaker 1: And then and in some cases you could have Josh
- 23:33Speaker 1: Allen in as a defensive end in a base package
- 23:37Speaker 1: with class Campbell kicking into the inside. But how will
- 23:40Speaker 1: they juggle that balance of sharing the reps of the
- 23:44Speaker 1: base package between in gowck Way and Josh Allen. And
- 23:49Speaker 1: because you know Josh Allen physically, you would think would
- 23:52Speaker 1: be stronger and more gifted against the run, just because
- 23:55Speaker 1: he's much bigger than in gowk Way is. But at
- 23:58Speaker 1: the same token, it's hard to take a guy off
- 24:01Speaker 1: of the field like in Gockway that can change a
- 24:03Speaker 1: game with one playing because of his ability to rush
- 24:06Speaker 1: the passer and take the ball away from the quarterback. So, um,
- 24:10Speaker 1: that will be something to watch for certainly this year. Hey, Jeff,
- 24:14Speaker 1: you might have some fights in the sidelines if you
- 24:15Speaker 1: try to keep h. Gockway on the side off the
- 24:18Speaker 1: field too much. There's no doubt that's a guy who
- 24:21Speaker 1: likes to play every single well. And we said last year, Tony,
- 24:25Speaker 1: I mean, look, he took a big step forward and
- 24:27Speaker 1: how he played the game in a physical fashion against
- 24:30Speaker 1: the run, he got better against the run last year.
- 24:32Speaker 1: The first year that he was in the league, he
- 24:35Speaker 1: wasn't very good against the run. The second year he
- 24:37Speaker 1: got a little bit better. And I thought last year
- 24:39Speaker 1: he took a significant step forward. And we're talking about
- 24:41Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't weigh a ton now. I mean
- 24:43Speaker 1: he's what to to forty ish When I see two forties,
- 24:47Speaker 1: that could be in the two thirties and it might
- 24:49Speaker 1: be barely over he's listed at and I don't think.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I don't think he weighs that much. But he plays
- 24:55Speaker 1: the game at a high level. So look, it doesn't
- 24:57Speaker 1: matter what he weighs. Tony. What do you think von
- 24:58Speaker 1: Miller made weighs? Are you with us? I think von
- 25:05Speaker 1: Miller is probably five to fifty Jeff, but he plays
- 25:09Speaker 1: a completely different position to stand up outside backer. He's
- 25:13Speaker 1: going he's in a two point stand. Uh. He plays
- 25:17Speaker 1: more to a two three four and it's really a
- 25:21Speaker 1: pass rush specialist and he's not a hand in the
- 25:23Speaker 1: ground defensive van. It's and they're interesting that our perception
- 25:29Speaker 1: of von Miller is tot five right, he's listed at Okay,
- 25:33Speaker 1: So I asked and gokay. The other day I was
- 25:35Speaker 1: asking him when he was here for the O t
- 25:37Speaker 1: A practice. I said, Hey, what are you weighing? And
- 25:40Speaker 1: he gave me, you know, ballpark of what he weighed,
- 25:42Speaker 1: And it doesn't really matter what he said. But then
- 25:45Speaker 1: we got into the conversation about von Miller and he
- 25:47Speaker 1: said that he's talked a couple of different times with
- 25:50Speaker 1: von Miller, and so we got into that conversation about
- 25:53Speaker 1: wait and what's an effective weight, and he was telling
- 25:55Speaker 1: me that von Miller told him that he plays at
- 25:59Speaker 1: two thirty five. Yeah, which I wouldn't think that von
- 26:04Speaker 1: Miller is too thirty five, because I mean, he plays
- 26:06Speaker 1: the game so big and plays it so well that
- 26:09Speaker 1: you would think that he weighs more. But Hey, look,
- 26:12Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what you weigh as long as you
- 26:14Speaker 1: can be effective. But Jeff Ti, I mean, and god
- 26:17Speaker 1: Points is very good past or ship, but I don't
- 26:19Speaker 1: think he has the first step that von Miller does.
- 26:22Speaker 1: I mean, that's what makes von Miller so good, and
- 26:25Speaker 1: he has it and and he has and the other
- 26:28Speaker 1: thing that makes von Miller so exceptional and god Poin
- 26:32Speaker 1: is good at this, but I don't think he's great
- 26:33Speaker 1: at it at this point. I mean, I think he's
- 26:35Speaker 1: growing in the player. But that inside spin moves stress
- 26:40Speaker 1: as an offensive linement so much that if you overplay
- 26:42Speaker 1: his speed at all, he's gonna hit you with that
- 26:45Speaker 1: inside spin molls and kill you. Tony. Where are you?
- 26:51Speaker 1: I'm in an airport of parts unknown right now. Oh,
- 26:54Speaker 1: an undisclosed location, undisclosed location. I might be doing some
- 26:58Speaker 1: secret work. I don't want to go to Okay, Well, well,
- 27:00Speaker 1: we certainly don't want to broadcast and everywhere, which we
- 27:03Speaker 1: would if that was the case. Are you gonna be
- 27:05Speaker 1: back next week though? Right? Yeah, we're gonna be there. Uh,

- 33:02Speaker 1: to be dancing like him. When I get to be there,
- 33:04Speaker 1: I can't dance like that. Now that's my problem. Um.
- 33:08Speaker 1: The Jags back on the field tomorrow, final day of
- 33:11Speaker 1: O t a some news coming out earlier in the
- 33:14Speaker 1: week of a former Jaguars linebacker, Blair Brown, arrested by
- 33:18Speaker 1: the js O Wednesday, charged with domestic battery without injury.
- 33:22Speaker 1: He was released by the Jaguars May ninth, but Philip Higham,
- 33:25Speaker 1: one of the Times Union, just minutes ago, tweeted out
- 33:27Speaker 1: some details from the incident report, saying that he allegedly
- 33:31Speaker 1: pointed a firearm and a woman instated he was going
- 33:33Speaker 1: to kill her. That instant report was ap So if
- 33:37Speaker 1: that happened to connect least May ninth, he's not on
- 33:41Speaker 1: the team now connect the dots on that one. I
- 33:43Speaker 1: don't think it's very very much of a mystery to
- 33:45Speaker 1: see what happened with Blara Brown and me, because you're
- 33:47Speaker 1: talking about a draft pick from not long ago who
- 33:51Speaker 1: the Jaguars at the very least we're thinking that he
- 33:55Speaker 1: could be a significant special teams contributor, and then all
- 33:58Speaker 1: of a sudden was out the door, and we're talking
- 34:01Speaker 1: about at a position in which the Jaguars were scrambling
- 34:04Speaker 1: a little bit because they just had somebody tell him
- 34:07Speaker 1: that he's not gonna play football in twenty and Telvin Smith.
- 34:11Speaker 1: So when they released Blair Brown, I kind of scratched
- 34:14Speaker 1: my head and went, something's up, something's up with that.
- 34:18Speaker 1: And there there it is. There, there's your something's up
- 34:22Speaker 1: and that that incident in April which led to his
- 34:26Speaker 1: arrest or release and then subsequent arrest. There you go,
- 34:31Speaker 1: So connect the dots you have at the news on
- 34:34Speaker 1: Blair Brown. Other reports today that the Jaguars are close
- 34:38Speaker 1: to signing Terrell Prior, state quarterback now state quarterback who
- 34:44Speaker 1: was with the Raiders and played quarterback with them, then
- 34:47Speaker 1: made the conversion to wide receiver. Was actually had a
- 34:50Speaker 1: pretty good, uh, pretty good time of it at the
- 34:53Speaker 1: wide receiver position with the Cleveland Brown signed a free
- 34:55Speaker 1: agent contract with the Washington Redskins that didn't go so
- 34:58Speaker 1: well and and now he's probably looking for some type
- 35:03Speaker 1: of a minimum salary type of deal, I'm sure, because
- 35:08Speaker 1: he hasn't done much. He's had some injuries to contend with,
- 35:11Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the big reasons why
- 35:13Speaker 1: that his production was down. And he's still available as
- 35:16Speaker 1: a free agent, but he's got size. And if you
- 35:19Speaker 1: go back to when we were talking to South pal
- 35:23Speaker 1: South Palestonio who talked extensively about what he would like
- 35:27Speaker 1: to surround Nick Foles with if he were the general manager.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Remember the first thing he said, he needs big targets.
- 35:35Speaker 1: This is a big target. He's six ft four, this
- 35:38Speaker 1: is a big target. Big targets. So uh And as
- 35:42Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, when you have an offense that
- 35:44Speaker 1: doesn't have very many proven weapons, you bring every and
- 35:46Speaker 1: any and every everything in to try to find more.
- 35:49Speaker 1: It hasn't happened yet. There's nothing official from the team,
- 35:51Speaker 1: and that there were reports today saying that the Jaguars
- 35:54Speaker 1: were close. They worked him out yesterday. Um, I think
- 35:57Speaker 1: the team would like to get it done, but it's
- 35:59Speaker 1: not a fish. There's nothing. If it's gonna get done,
- 36:01Speaker 1: it will happen today because you want to be able
- 36:04Speaker 1: to get him out on the field as soon as
- 36:06Speaker 1: possible to see what he's got. Absolutely, you know, you've
- 36:09Speaker 1: only got what is it, how many OT days remaining
- 36:12Speaker 1: in number six coming up tomorrow, so four more you've
- 36:16Speaker 1: got half of your O t A days in mini
- 36:18Speaker 1: camp to be able to find out what he's got, So, yeah,
- 36:20Speaker 1: you don't want to mess around. Where would he fit
- 36:22Speaker 1: into this wide receiver group right now, Big Tart, is
- 36:25Speaker 1: he come in and compete? See where he's at. He
- 36:29Speaker 1: wouldn't be. I wouldn't even put him at any kind
- 36:31Speaker 1: of ranking whatsoever, but I would I would say this,
- 36:34Speaker 1: and that he's a big target who who's got some
- 36:37Speaker 1: catch radius, who's had some success in the National Football League,
- 36:42Speaker 1: And the Jaguars are looking for weapons, and they're looking
- 36:45Speaker 1: for guys that have some catch radius and some side
- 36:47Speaker 1: because that's what you know what Nick Foles apparently likes
- 36:50Speaker 1: to have. I mean, Chris Connelly kind of fits that
- 36:52Speaker 1: mold DJ Chart fits that mold D. D. Westbrook not
- 36:56Speaker 1: so much, but he's coming off a very successful year.
- 36:59Speaker 1: Marquise Lee is gonna be a good target. It's because
- 37:01Speaker 1: he gets open, he gets separations to be healthy. Look,
- 37:05Speaker 1: the more, the more of the merrier. And here's here's
- 37:07Speaker 1: the other thing. I don't know how much he can
- 37:10Speaker 1: contribute on special teams, but he's got the size right
- 37:14Speaker 1: big Yeah, So we'll see. What do you think of
- 37:19Speaker 1: the tight ends so far? Josh Holliver, Jeff Swam I'm
- 37:22Speaker 1: gonna chat with Jeff Swain tomorrow after practice. You'll hear
- 37:25Speaker 1: that on Jaguars dot com. How do you say his
- 37:27Speaker 1: last name swam swam? Okay, I just want to make
- 37:30Speaker 1: sure you said it's like I was thinking that it was,
- 37:32Speaker 1: because I mean, all the new guys, you want to
- 37:34Speaker 1: make sure that you pronounced their names right. Jeff has
- 37:36Speaker 1: pronounced Jeff. Yes, you should know that it's not Jeff. No,
- 37:40Speaker 1: it's not Jeff Jeff. Yeah. But Swim is uh, it's
- 37:44Speaker 1: kind of a range e tight end. I like. I
- 37:46Speaker 1: like watching him and I think that, uh, the four
- 37:50Speaker 1: tight ends that are currently on the roster I think
- 37:52Speaker 1: are gonna be or be okay and okay, I think
- 37:56Speaker 1: is uh, we'll be good enough because and what I'm
- 37:59Speaker 1: saying there, I'm talking about O'Shaughnessy Koyak, Swam and Josh Oliver,
- 38:04Speaker 1: the rookie draft pick from San Jose stated, I think
- 38:06Speaker 1: those are the four guys that you really look to.
- 38:11Speaker 1: But yeah, the other other guy that I'm kind of
- 38:14Speaker 1: curious to see is he's wearing number eighty six and
- 38:18Speaker 1: his name is Michael Clubial Clubial, and we don't have
- 38:24Speaker 1: He's not the guy he's not on the pronunciation guy,
- 38:27Speaker 1: so I apologize. He's a rookie from UCF, but he's
- 38:30Speaker 1: kind of that tight ends slash fullback because he doesn't
- 38:35Speaker 1: have the tight end size. He's got more fullback size,
- 38:38Speaker 1: but he's not thick like a fullback. So you know what.
- 38:41Speaker 1: Listening to John D. Flippo the other day, he said
- 38:44Speaker 1: that was something that you might see in this offense
- 38:47Speaker 1: a little more, the tight ends coming back in the
- 38:49Speaker 1: backfield before snaps, and then they'd love to see some
- 38:52Speaker 1: of that kind of stuff that could be, that mold
- 38:54Speaker 1: could be, could be. But I mean, I really like
- 38:58Speaker 1: what I've seen so far Josh Oliver, but I didn't
- 39:02Speaker 1: expect anything different because Josh Oliver, when you watched his
- 39:06Speaker 1: college film, he's got speed, he's got sized, he's got
- 39:09Speaker 1: great hands, and so he's showing you all about that
- 39:13Speaker 1: out there and what Doug Roan calls pajamas, which is
- 39:16Speaker 1: the O T A S. And there's no pads. So
- 39:19Speaker 1: the only thing or the area that I want to
- 39:21Speaker 1: see Josh Oliver and is when the pads come on,
- 39:25Speaker 1: the hitting starts, and then he needs to block to
- 39:29Speaker 1: be able to stay on the field because here's the reality.
- 39:32Speaker 1: If you play tight end and you can't block, you
- 39:36Speaker 1: can't get on the field. And I'm not talking about
- 39:39Speaker 1: just try to block. You need to block effectively. You
- 39:41Speaker 1: don't have to dominate, but you have to be an
- 39:43Speaker 1: effective blocker. That's the weakness with Josh Oliver. If you
- 39:47Speaker 1: watch his college tape, he wasn't exactly a a super
- 39:51Speaker 1: physical blocker at San Jose State and doesn't get any
- 39:55Speaker 1: easier to go from San Jose State to playing at
- 39:58Speaker 1: this level. Well, they needed him run down the field
- 40:00Speaker 1: there too. I mean he was like the only option
- 40:02Speaker 1: they needed a block too, and it was needed a
- 40:05Speaker 1: lot of things at San Jose at times. At times JP,
- 40:08Speaker 1: I'll draw this comparison. When you would watch in Gowquay
- 40:12Speaker 1: at Maryland play the run, there were times that it
- 40:16Speaker 1: was not very impressive and borderline kind of embarrassing. When
- 40:24Speaker 1: you watch Josh Oliver block at San Jose State, there
- 40:28Speaker 1: were times that looked not that impressive and at times
- 40:33Speaker 1: bordering on embarrassing. It can't improve, though, And the reason
- 40:38Speaker 1: I bring up that comparison is because where have we
- 40:41Speaker 1: seen in Gowckway go in his three years as a pro.
- 40:45Speaker 1: We went from being not very good to being a
- 40:48Speaker 1: little bit better to being pretty good last year. So
- 40:51Speaker 1: if if Josh Oliver can make the same progression, because
- 40:55Speaker 1: some people believe that if the dog doesn't have a bite,
- 40:58Speaker 1: he'll never he'll never or learned to bite, you know
- 41:01Speaker 1: what I mean, because some you never heard that turn,
- 41:03Speaker 1: I've heard that kind of like it. Sometimes people say
- 41:07Speaker 1: you can't teach a dog to bite. Well, clearly if
- 41:11Speaker 1: you look at in Gockway, and I'm not saying that
- 41:13Speaker 1: he wouldn't bite, because at Maryland there were times that
- 41:16Speaker 1: he did against the run. But you can teach a
- 41:18Speaker 1: guy to block, and you can make him an effective blocker,
- 41:21Speaker 1: and at the at the very least you got to
- 41:23Speaker 1: make him a willing blocker. So hopefully the progression will
- 41:27Speaker 1: happen for him. Because if you want all the matchups
- 41:30Speaker 1: that you look for when you have a tight end
- 41:32Speaker 1: on the field, and I'm talking about the mismatches of
- 41:35Speaker 1: having a tie it end against the linebacker instead of
- 41:37Speaker 1: a safety. Because for example, when you when the when
- 41:41Speaker 1: the Jaguars faced the New England Patriots, they put to
- 41:45Speaker 1: Shaun Gibson on Gronkowski because Gronk is a great wide receiver,
- 41:51Speaker 1: and is it a mismatch of Patriots decided to run
- 41:54Speaker 1: the ball in Gronkowski is blocking to Shaun Gibson. Yes,
- 41:57Speaker 1: but it's is it a mismatch for or the Patriots
- 42:01Speaker 1: when Shaun Gibson is covering ground? I mean, that's kind
- 42:04Speaker 1: of an even deal right there. You know. So you're
- 42:06Speaker 1: always looking for the best mismatch, and the best mismatch
- 42:08Speaker 1: you can get with the tight end is one of
- 42:10Speaker 1: defense believes that that tight end is first and foremost
- 42:14Speaker 1: legitimate blocker in the running game and secondly a wide receiver.
- 42:18Speaker 1: So they always concerned themselves with him and his ability
- 42:21Speaker 1: as a blocker, and then secondly with his ability as
- 42:23Speaker 1: a wide receiver. So if you're gonna get that focus
- 42:25Speaker 1: on the first part, then you get two mispatches in
- 42:27Speaker 1: the second part. Let's come back. We're gonna delve into
- 42:31Speaker 1: this um negotiation between the Players Association in the NFL.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Is it already going? What could happen in the year
- 42:39Speaker 1: or two down the line that's been in the news
- 42:41Speaker 1: the last few days. We'll get the former vice president
- 42:44Speaker 1: of the p A in Jacksonville's view on him. That's
- 42:47Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman. You might have heard, right that's okay. Well,

- 42:54Speaker 1: gonna clear all of this up. Let me come back.
- 42:56Speaker 1: How about that right, We're gonna have it all figured out.

- 46:46Speaker 1: a trainer with me. Now he works on me every day. Um, besides,
- 46:49Speaker 1: I was just working out training, training with other guys. Uh.
- 46:53Speaker 1: You know, I got another kid on the way, so
- 46:55Speaker 1: that's been kind of tough with that, getting married, and
- 46:58Speaker 1: you know, I'm learning how much of a job it is,
- 47:00Speaker 1: you know, with mayor. So it's just that helps me
- 47:03Speaker 1: out with my patience and everything. So it was a
- 47:05Speaker 1: lot this offseason, but I'm grateful for It's a j
- 47:09Speaker 1: boy earlier this week discussing his off season, what's been
- 47:13Speaker 1: happening so far? You've been a busy man, yes, and
- 47:16Speaker 1: he's here for Chiers. Last year he was not around
- 47:18Speaker 1: for his father was was sick and helped him through
- 47:22Speaker 1: that and father's well now, which is great news. So
- 47:25Speaker 1: a J boy back in the fold this offseason. Good
- 47:28Speaker 1: to see him around here. Good player. I wanted. I'd
- 47:30Speaker 1: like to see him go back, which is I don't
- 47:33Speaker 1: want to say. Look, two years ago, he was fantastic.
- 47:37Speaker 1: There was the best corner duo in the league. Easy,
- 47:39Speaker 1: well you could you could make you could have made
- 47:40Speaker 1: the argument two years ago that he was better than Jalen. Seriously,
- 47:45Speaker 1: the rating wise, he was better than jail And two
- 47:48Speaker 1: years ago, which him and jail And were right there
- 47:50Speaker 1: at you know, the top cornerbacks in the league rating wise,
- 47:54Speaker 1: passer rating against, they were clearly one and two and
- 47:57Speaker 1: Jalen was number two to a J. So last year
- 48:01Speaker 1: I thought A J's game took a step back, which
- 48:04Speaker 1: I didn't expect him to play at that level, that
- 48:06Speaker 1: where he was at two years ago, but you wanted
- 48:09Speaker 1: it to be closer, and he went from being if
- 48:12Speaker 1: you look at PFFS rankings, you know he was one
- 48:14Speaker 1: to one two somewhere all the way throughouteen he was
- 48:18Speaker 1: in the twenties. That's a pretty significant step back. He
- 48:22Speaker 1: was still pretty good, but he can be better than
- 48:24Speaker 1: what he was at SOD be nice to see him
- 48:26Speaker 1: back at that level. And for a guy who really
- 48:29Speaker 1: who's undrafted when he came in the league. Two of
- 48:33Speaker 1: the better corners in the league, Chris Harris, I believe,
- 48:37Speaker 1: was he undrafted two of the Denver Broncos and he
- 48:39Speaker 1: was a late round pick or something like that, I believe.
- 48:41Speaker 1: But you're talking about two of the best corner corners
- 48:43Speaker 1: in the league that we're not highly drafted, like a
- 48:47Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. But Chris Harris, congratulations to him. He just
- 48:51Speaker 1: got a contract, essentially a bump and pay on his
- 48:57Speaker 1: one year remaining contract he was I think it was
- 48:59Speaker 1: supposed to be I will make like ten million or
- 49:01Speaker 1: something like that. Now he's bumped up to fifteen or
- 49:03Speaker 1: something in that ring. John Elway essentially just did that
- 49:08Speaker 1: without having to do that, which I think is a
- 49:10Speaker 1: pretty classy moved by the Broncos organization. Chris Harris fantastic
- 49:15Speaker 1: undrafted Kansas Yes, um uh. The Jaguars get ready for

- 49:33Speaker 1: shall we and get to some of the biggest headlines
- 49:37Speaker 1: at least of this week. I don't know if there's
- 49:39Speaker 1: really news on this front yet. NFLPA Executive director j
- 49:43Speaker 1: mar Smith is warning agents to plan for a work
- 49:46Speaker 1: stoppage the union. Quote advising players to plan for a
- 49:51Speaker 1: work stoppage of at least a year in length end quote.
- 49:53Speaker 1: How could that happen? Well? For let me read an
- 49:57Speaker 1: article and this is This is essentially a snippet from
- 50:01Speaker 1: Lizmullen in The Sports Business Daily and reported on Tuesday morning.
- 50:05Speaker 1: The nfl PA executive director to Marise Smith sent an
- 50:08Speaker 1: email to all the agents of NFL players containing advice
- 50:11Speaker 1: they should give to their clients. And this is what
- 50:14Speaker 1: he said. Quote, with a possible work stoppage less than
- 50:18Speaker 1: two years away, this is the opportune time to set
- 50:21Speaker 1: up a structure and organize savings and budgeting plan with
- 50:23Speaker 1: your clients end quote, And he continued, I can't stress
- 50:28Speaker 1: enough the importance of having our player members in a
- 50:31Speaker 1: sound financial situation should a work stoppage occur. We are
- 50:35Speaker 1: advising players to plan for a work stoppage of at
- 50:38Speaker 1: least a year in length. We are also encouraging, if
- 50:42Speaker 1: people listen close, we are also encouraging all players to
- 50:46Speaker 1: say fifty pc of their salary and bonuses and to
- 50:50Speaker 1: say the entirety of their performance based pay amounts they
- 50:53Speaker 1: should earn over the next two regular seasons. Okay, when
- 50:58Speaker 1: I read that, I laughed. Why. Well, first and foremost,
- 51:06Speaker 1: you're encouraging your NFL constituents, your players to save fifty
- 51:12Speaker 1: of their salary and bonuses and then the entirety of
- 51:16Speaker 1: their performance based pays amounts because there's a potential work
- 51:22Speaker 1: stoppage coming soon. Well what, why aren't you encouraging your
- 51:28Speaker 1: players to save more than that without a work stoppage coming.
- 51:33Speaker 1: This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard the executive
- 51:37Speaker 1: director of the union say since he's been in that position.
- 51:42Speaker 1: So you're saying they should say this anyway? Should they
- 51:45Speaker 1: should be saving more than fifty if they're expecting a
- 51:49Speaker 1: work stoppage to occur, they should be preaching to his
- 51:53Speaker 1: constituencies that they should be saving more than fifty of
- 51:57Speaker 1: their salary if they're not acting to work stoppage, so
- 52:01Speaker 1: that they can save money so that when they're done playing,
- 52:05Speaker 1: they've got money that will last them the rest of
- 52:07Speaker 1: their life. This is about trying to educate your players
- 52:14Speaker 1: and teaching them how to save money with or without
- 52:16Speaker 1: a work stoppage. And for him to say that, say
- 52:19Speaker 1: fifty now because we might have a work stoppage coming,
- 52:23Speaker 1: what he should be saying is, look, are a player
- 52:25Speaker 1: should be saving a ton of money and we should
- 52:27Speaker 1: be saving well over fifty if we are going to
- 52:30Speaker 1: have a work stoppage expected. But I mean, I just
- 52:34Speaker 1: think that that's embarrassing because I mean, look, let's look
- 52:36Speaker 1: at the numbers. Yea, here's the the National Football League
- 52:40Speaker 1: minimum salaries. Okay, these are for undrafted guys. No signing bonus.
- 52:45Speaker 1: You come in the league, you get nothing, right, you're undrafted,
- 52:50Speaker 1: first year minimum salary to be on an active rosters fos. Okay,
- 52:56Speaker 1: so let's just think about you. You're an undrafted rookie,
- 53:00Speaker 1: we have a work stoppage coming in. If you saved
- 53:03Speaker 1: fifty of your after tax income, a four thousand dollars.
- 53:09Speaker 1: Would you like to say fifty of that or maybe more?
- 53:13Speaker 1: Probably more right, I'd like to spend something. I'd like
- 53:15Speaker 1: to enjoy my time. But you after taxes, let's just
- 53:20Speaker 1: say that there's three hundred thousand left. You think you
- 53:23Speaker 1: could you gotta spend a hundred fifty thousand dollars in
- 53:26Speaker 1: a year? Yeah? Probably not. Okay, y're two minimum five seventy.
- 53:31Speaker 1: But now just guys buy different guys want to buy.
- 53:35Speaker 1: These are minimums. That's fine, they can buy a house.
- 53:37Speaker 1: But but also, if you're expecting the potential work stoppage,
- 53:40Speaker 1: you need to make sure that you buy a house
- 53:42Speaker 1: that the money that you put away you can help
- 53:44Speaker 1: pay for that when there is a work stoppage. You're
- 53:46Speaker 1: three minimum seven hundred twenty thousand dollars. When you're in
- 53:50Speaker 1: years four through six, it's eight hundred and five thousand dollars.
- 53:53Speaker 1: So you're seven through thousand dollars. When you're ten plus,
- 53:56Speaker 1: which very few guys get to ten plus years, that's
- 53:58Speaker 1: over a million. My point is is that the executive
- 54:01Speaker 1: director encouraging players to save only fifty with a potential
- 54:05Speaker 1: work stoppage coming up is embarrassing. He should be telling
- 54:09Speaker 1: people to save a heck of a lot more than that,
- 54:10Speaker 1: and he should be encouraging his players to save a
- 54:12Speaker 1: heck of a lot more than that, whether work stoppage
- 54:15Speaker 1: is coming or not. I just think it's surprising, it's
- 54:19Speaker 1: almost embarrassing that he would put it at because of
- 54:22Speaker 1: work stoppage is coming. Would there ever be a full
- 54:25Speaker 1: year stoppage? Oh? Absolutely, would they ever. My whole point
- 54:30Speaker 1: here has nothing to do with potential labor strife aside.
- 54:34Speaker 1: I'm talking about the leader of the union of trying
- 54:38Speaker 1: to educate his constituents into say about about saving money period.
- 54:43Speaker 1: And he's trying to say that, you know, you may
- 54:45Speaker 1: go two years without any money, so you better say
- 54:48Speaker 1: fifty percent. Wait a minute, when when there's a lot
- 54:52Speaker 1: of guys that are making so jp. If you're making
- 54:53Speaker 1: let's say five million a year, okay, you're a you're
- 54:57Speaker 1: a low mid level player in the nash Football League.
- 55:00Speaker 1: Let's say you're making three million a year. Do you
- 55:04Speaker 1: think you can get by by saving or only having
- 55:09Speaker 1: three million to spend? I think I could make it.
- 55:12Speaker 1: It's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. He
- 55:15Speaker 1: should be encouraging players to live well below their means
- 55:19Speaker 1: and saving money anyway, all right, So that point aside,
- 55:23Speaker 1: and it's a valid point, I believe would they ever
- 55:27Speaker 1: cancel a season when nobody wants to cancel the season
- 55:33Speaker 1: if the if the if it becomes so much The
- 55:37Speaker 1: owners have put out some information recently two different reporters
- 55:42Speaker 1: or or avenues that have painted a bright picture that
- 55:48Speaker 1: there will be some type of an extension to the
- 55:51Speaker 1: current UM labor agreement that is in place, and I
- 55:55Speaker 1: think Demur Smith is trying to kind of counteract that
- 55:59Speaker 1: so that he takes the comfort zone away from the players,
- 56:03Speaker 1: which he didn't have to talk about the saving money part.
- 56:07Speaker 1: All he had to do is come out and say, look,
- 56:08Speaker 1: our players need to save money because they should expect
- 56:12Speaker 1: a possible work stoppage of a year or two coming soon.
- 56:16Speaker 1: So saving money now is imperative. But I just don't
- 56:20Speaker 1: and not so I understand why he's doing it now.
- 56:22Speaker 1: His his verbiage that he used was was a joke.
- 56:26Speaker 1: But I get that he's trying to counteract the complacency
- 56:29Speaker 1: within his union so that they're prepared in case it
- 56:32Speaker 1: does happen. And he's also trying to counteract the good
- 56:36Speaker 1: feelings about where they're going, because look, it may go
- 56:39Speaker 1: it may go well, and it may not go well.
- 56:40Speaker 1: I would like to think that at some point, cooler
- 56:43Speaker 1: heads will prevail, and I think I think it's gonna
- 56:47Speaker 1: get done. Don't don't make any mistakes season by the
- 56:53Speaker 1: after exactly because right now, the Collective Barney Agreement goes
- 56:58Speaker 1: for this year nineteen and then twin me and there's
- 57:01Speaker 1: actually there's guidelines of minimum salaries that are in place
- 57:05Speaker 1: going to pass, but it can't really be instituted yet
- 57:10Speaker 1: because there is no collective bargaining agreement. It spot if
- 57:14Speaker 1: you sign a rookie JP, just like the Jaguar signed
- 57:18Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and you only have two years of a
- 57:20Speaker 1: collective bargaining agreement left, which is nineteen and twenty, you
- 57:24Speaker 1: still put in to not just Josh Allen because he's
- 57:27Speaker 1: obviously way over the minimum, but there's some guys that
- 57:29Speaker 1: you picked up and you signed them in a three
- 57:31Speaker 1: or four year deals. So there's guidelines that the league
- 57:34Speaker 1: has given out for minimum salaries beyond twenty, which is
- 57:37Speaker 1: the end of the collective bargaining agreement. So but I
- 57:41Speaker 1: think that everything is going to get extended. I think
- 57:43Speaker 1: there will be tweaks and adjustments to a lot of
- 57:46Speaker 1: different parts of the collective bargaining agreement. But I just
- 57:50Speaker 1: I'm just disappointed in the executive director of the Union
- 57:54Speaker 1: because you hear here so many stories, and I've seen
- 57:56Speaker 1: so many stories as a player and as a guy
- 57:59Speaker 1: that's been around the game for a long time, with
- 58:01Speaker 1: players walking away from the game with with next to
- 58:03Speaker 1: nothing or very little money. But here we have and
- 58:06Speaker 1: they have an executive director who I think is living
- 58:10Speaker 1: in fantasy land about how he's telling players to save money.
- 58:13Speaker 1: It sounds like you want to be an executive directors.
- 58:15Speaker 1: It sounds like, well, I can tell you one thing, JP,
- 58:17Speaker 1: I wouldn't be talking about, say fifty of your money.
- 58:21Speaker 1: I would be talking about saving a heck of a
- 58:23Speaker 1: lot more than that, and for a lot different reasons.
- 58:25Speaker 1: And I say I said that in a jokey manner,
- 58:27Speaker 1: but this is close to It's very close to me
- 58:29Speaker 1: because I look, I've worked. I worked very hard as
- 58:31Speaker 1: a player and as a vice president Union to try
- 58:34Speaker 1: to make sure that you edc We educated our players
- 58:36Speaker 1: into learning how to save money. And that's why I'm
- 58:38Speaker 1: a big fan of teams that have the the financial
- 58:42Speaker 1: planning seminars with their rookies and with their players. And
- 58:45Speaker 1: that's why I give credit to San Francisco forty Niners.
- 58:48Speaker 1: They're always one of the last teams in the league
- 58:50Speaker 1: to sign their rookies because they want to hold the
- 58:52Speaker 1: financial planning seminars with their rookies before they signed their contracts.
- 58:57Speaker 1: And uh, and I think that's a positive thing. I
- 58:59Speaker 1: think that the league needs to do a better job
- 59:01Speaker 1: in the Union in particular, more so, needs to do
- 59:03Speaker 1: a better job of educating their players on on money
- 59:06Speaker 1: management and how to save money so that these guys
- 59:09Speaker 1: when they walk away from the game, they've got something
- 59:11Speaker 1: to take with them. All right, looks well done, Okay,
- 59:14Speaker 1: let me get off my pod. It's quite okay. It
- 59:16Speaker 1: was very informative. Thank you and thank you for your
