- 0:52Speaker 1: the Monday after Rookie Mini Camp. Let's get our first
- 0:56Speaker 1: reactions after the Friday and Saturday. We saw the guys
- 0:59Speaker 1: out on the field at t I A Bank field,
- 1:02Speaker 1: saw lots of teaching not much yelling and screaming, no
- 1:06Speaker 1: announcements of what's coming next over the p A system,
- 1:09Speaker 1: and surprise, surprise, they still got their work done. Actually
- 1:12Speaker 1: did I missed the announcements? Truthfully pleasantly quiet approach. It
- 1:18Speaker 1: was pleasantly quiet, Yes it was. I mean they didn't
- 1:21Speaker 1: have to go like Gill between drills and run around
- 1:24Speaker 1: everywhere they were and none of that was none of that.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Even the music was moderate. It wasn't overly overpowering like
- 1:30Speaker 1: it was last year from Glenn Miller. And players responded,
- 1:34Speaker 1: I think they got the work done. Yeah, they You know,
- 1:37Speaker 1: it was that kind of weekend. It was the take
- 1:39Speaker 1: what they learned in the classroom, get it on the
- 1:41Speaker 1: field job. It's professional football. It was a teaching, teaching weekend.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I guess they were what probably total fifteen seven on
- 1:49Speaker 1: seven plays about fifteen eleven I eleven plays and it
- 1:52Speaker 1: was fine. Uh, you know, I think we're all sort
- 1:56Speaker 1: of lead with the same thought that. It's easy to
- 1:58Speaker 1: see why they drafted Traylon Walker. I mean, he's uh,
- 2:02Speaker 1: put on this earth. God came down and touched him
- 2:05Speaker 1: and said you will play pro football. And his he's
- 2:10Speaker 1: an unbelievable specimen, May the best specimen if they've ever
- 2:13Speaker 1: drafted number one or in the first round to come
- 2:16Speaker 1: in here. Unbelievably impressive, and uh, you know it's just May.
- 2:21Speaker 1: But wow, you know it's funny you say that. So
- 2:24Speaker 1: I was thinking about the guys. Baselly obviously six seven
- 2:27Speaker 1: and pounds when he walked in here. John Henderson, you know, bigger,
- 2:31Speaker 1: if that's possible. When he came in here in two
- 2:32Speaker 1: thousand and two, Um, Fred was impressive. You're like, okay,
- 2:37Speaker 1: look at that. Oh yeah, I mean four three forty,
- 2:39Speaker 1: I mean unbelievable. But when you got up close to Walker,
- 2:43Speaker 1: you saw a guy who physically the only guy that's
- 2:47Speaker 1: I think come close to him in terms of looking
- 2:49Speaker 1: like it's supposed to look as Tony Brackens Um arms
- 2:53Speaker 1: just forever and then just catchers myths. I mean, just
- 2:56Speaker 1: enormous hands, Um moves so fluidly, so f lesslie through
- 3:00Speaker 1: the drills. When he hit the bag, remembers that we
- 3:03Speaker 1: were standing there. It was boom, right when the other
- 3:06Speaker 1: kid from Norfolks Date and he played in Norfolks Date
- 3:08Speaker 1: for a reason, right, I mean he's pop pop pop,
- 3:13Speaker 1: this kid. Boom When Walker hits it. It's he was,
- 3:17Speaker 1: as John said, touched, he's supposed to play professional football,
- 3:21Speaker 1: and I was. We were just all in awe of
- 3:25Speaker 1: what we saw in terms of you knew right away
- 3:27Speaker 1: that's why they took him. And I maybe I've shared
- 3:29Speaker 1: the story with you guys off Mike, but I mean
- 3:31Speaker 1: I stood in front of Adan Hutchinson in Vegas and
- 3:35Speaker 1: he's impressive six six to sixty and that's a big,
- 3:38Speaker 1: strong guy, but is not built like this. I mean
- 3:41Speaker 1: not in any way, shape or form, built like Trayvon Walker. Yeah,
- 3:45Speaker 1: when Trayvon Walker came in that Friday after he was drafted,
- 3:47Speaker 1: and he was in just a jumpsuit, you know, he's wow,
- 3:50Speaker 1: he's big walking down the hallway. But then when you
- 3:52Speaker 1: see him on a football field in gloves and you
- 3:55Speaker 1: look at his arms that are basically to his knees.
- 3:58Speaker 1: My brother text me it's funny. I tweet out a
- 4:00Speaker 1: clip of one of his drills. My brother goes, my god,
- 4:02Speaker 1: I'm scared of him. I think that's the impression we
- 4:04Speaker 1: all had from well, he looked like he was he
- 4:07Speaker 1: was participating in a padded practice, right, And it wasn't.
- 4:11Speaker 1: And I've seen a few guys like that. When I
- 4:13Speaker 1: covered Bob Sanders and the Colts used to joke about
- 4:16Speaker 1: that he he would walk out during O T A
- 4:19Speaker 1: s and he looked like he was going to practice
- 4:22Speaker 1: because he was that big and strong. Trayvon Walkers about
- 4:27Speaker 1: three of Bob Sanders. But he's impressive. Let's hear from
- 4:29Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker. He will play outside linebacker. What does that
- 4:33Speaker 1: mean for him? Always kind of diving and dabbing in
- 4:36Speaker 1: the outside linebacker world, but just strictly working on outside
- 4:40Speaker 1: linebacker things in practice, I feel like I'm truly get
- 4:43Speaker 1: more comfortable with the position and learn a lot more
- 4:45Speaker 1: techniques coming from that position and not how to learn
- 4:48Speaker 1: so many different other positions. It's always room for improvement.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Comes from George. There was a lot of techniques that
- 4:52Speaker 1: we went over, but also coming here like a George,
- 4:56Speaker 1: we ran a lot of techniques, but once I got here,
- 4:58Speaker 1: break down a lot of those needs not learned that
- 5:00Speaker 1: Georgia and just put them into a family and focus
- 5:03Speaker 1: on that one thing. I felt good to drop back
- 5:05Speaker 1: and covers. I did it at Georgia, so I'm kind
- 5:07Speaker 1: of used to it. But now I'm working on a
- 5:10Speaker 1: lot more. Getting seven or seven, so I'll get a
- 5:12Speaker 1: lot more comfortable with dropping instead of just dropping every nowaday.
- 5:14Speaker 1: This is going to be a topic I think throughout
- 5:16Speaker 1: the off season. How does he look at outside linebacker
- 5:20Speaker 1: the coverage part especially there, and and can he bend
- 5:23Speaker 1: around the edge to get to the quarterback? John? Yeah,
- 5:26Speaker 1: he he was working outside linebacker drills with outside Lineberry
- 5:31Speaker 1: Bill Showey Decider. But he saw it. Their photos all
- 5:34Speaker 1: over the place, that's the focus. They're wasting no time.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I you know, I'll couch all this by saying I
- 5:41Speaker 1: don't know how you judge him in any way before
- 5:43Speaker 1: the pads actually go on, except to say that you
- 5:47Speaker 1: trust the scouts. They seen him play football, and you
- 5:50Speaker 1: can only assume that this stuff we saw athletically and
- 5:53Speaker 1: physically will translate once they go to pads. They're gonna
- 5:55Speaker 1: work on the techniques and stuff. But we'll find out
- 5:57Speaker 1: in training camp if he can start doing that and
- 5:59Speaker 1: then he leave have to improve from that moment. Well,
- 6:01Speaker 1: They've got an example from last year. The Cowboys took MIKEA. Parsons,
- 6:05Speaker 1: who was an inside backer at Penn State, and moved
- 6:07Speaker 1: him outside and used him in a number of different ways.
- 6:10Speaker 1: I think he let all rookies and sacks, so they
- 6:12Speaker 1: used him going forward, which is what you expect them
- 6:14Speaker 1: to do with this guy. Um. I mean he's bigger,
- 6:17Speaker 1: he's longer. I'm assuming he's stronger, because the guy just
- 6:20Speaker 1: looks like a horse. Um. And if he can play
- 6:23Speaker 1: to Micah Parsons right, which is asking a lot defensive
- 6:26Speaker 1: rookie of the year. Um, but I would think that
- 6:28Speaker 1: would be the example. I think he's stronger. He almost
- 6:30Speaker 1: carried the tackling down or or the blocking sled off
- 6:34Speaker 1: with one hand the other day. Yeah, it was so scary,
- 6:36Speaker 1: as my brother said, scary man. And I think for
- 6:39Speaker 1: Bill Shoey, this is an awesome opportunity because basically the
- 6:42Speaker 1: entire rookie mini camp, he's working one on one with
- 6:45Speaker 1: this guy. And you can just see how excited he is.
- 6:47Speaker 1: It's kind of nice to you. There was no theatrics
- 6:49Speaker 1: and no cussing and usual scary by the way, from
- 6:53Speaker 1: everything I hear, great kid, I mean everybody who Jordan
- 6:57Speaker 1: Davis said, his teammate told me in Vegas, you're gonna
- 7:01Speaker 1: love him. Good dude. Speaking of let's move to the
- 7:05Speaker 1: inside linebacker position and the twenty seventh overall pick, Devon Lloyd.
- 7:09Speaker 1: He was on the practice field this past weekend. Impressive physically,
- 7:13Speaker 1: of course, but impressive off the field as well. What
- 7:16Speaker 1: does he like about the Jaguars defense on paper so far? Yeah,
- 7:20Speaker 1: that's my first time in the three four, but I
- 7:21Speaker 1: love it. Um. I feel like, I mean, if you
- 7:23Speaker 1: look at the people that we have, and you know,
- 7:25Speaker 1: I mean this is we don't even we're not practically
- 7:27Speaker 1: with the Vets or anything like that, but even the
- 7:28Speaker 1: guys we have right now, UM, you know, everybody's athletic,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and you know, everybody has to do a lot of things.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Was um fisting my skill set, um, you know, And
- 7:36Speaker 1: I just love what um, you know the coaches have
- 7:38Speaker 1: going on here as far as what they're asking the
- 7:40Speaker 1: players to do, how we're attacking um offenses, and you
- 7:43Speaker 1: know it really our mentality as a defense, you know. UM,
- 7:46Speaker 1: I like what we got going on, not a whole lot.
- 7:50Speaker 1: It's mainly the front, you know. I mean even then
- 7:52Speaker 1: we still have um, you know, a nickel we call
- 7:54Speaker 1: it for two front, so UM, I mean we we
- 7:56Speaker 1: can swap. We've been doing that so UM. But yeah,
- 7:59Speaker 1: the four three, UM, you know that's our three four.
- 8:02Speaker 1: You see me. That's a little bit newer, but at
- 8:03Speaker 1: the same time it's not, you know, too much of
- 8:05Speaker 1: a difference. Of course, it's very early to to see
- 8:08Speaker 1: a lot of this on the field. He's only been
- 8:10Speaker 1: on the field for two days. He'll be out with
- 8:11Speaker 1: the veterans this week with Phase two going on to
- 8:14Speaker 1: have a little better field. But this is something we'll
- 8:17Speaker 1: find out a little more how he really fits once
- 8:19Speaker 1: we get closer to training camp. I had a quick
- 8:21Speaker 1: story for you, So, uh, last night at the Jay Fund. Uh,
- 8:24Speaker 1: Devon was there and he was talking with Jim Signerelli
- 8:26Speaker 1: from jack sponsor Fields of Orange Park. I know you
- 8:29Speaker 1: know him, and Jim in his own way, says, hey,
- 8:32Speaker 1: I know you wish you'd been drafted higher. Um, but man,
- 8:35Speaker 1: we are so glad you're in Jacksonville. He goes, you
- 8:37Speaker 1: know what I am too, I'm excited to be here
- 8:40Speaker 1: with what we're gonna do in Jacksonville, which everyone around
- 8:44Speaker 1: was like, yeah, we get it. You look at the guy,
- 8:46Speaker 1: you see what he's capable of doing, and now you
- 8:48Speaker 1: got a guy who's motivated to be here in Jacksonville
- 8:50Speaker 1: excited about it. I just thought that was a cool
- 8:52Speaker 1: little story and just for him to be there. I mean,
- 8:54Speaker 1: he just came to Jacksonville two weeks ago and already
- 8:56Speaker 1: sees the importance of showing up to an event like that. Roy,
- 8:59Speaker 1: Robert and Harris had his arm around him at one point.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I mean, the veterans realized they can tell what this
- 9:04Speaker 1: kid can do already, so they're they're digging in on
- 9:06Speaker 1: those guys. But John, I can listen to him talk
- 9:08Speaker 1: all day. I think, yeah, he He's gonna be the
- 9:12Speaker 1: star locally in the community. Uh. The fans are going
- 9:18Speaker 1: to attach to him, I think, probably more than Trayvon,
- 9:21Speaker 1: because that's just it doesn't seem to be Traylon's personality
- 9:24Speaker 1: to sort of want that. That's not a knock on Trayvon.
- 9:26Speaker 1: It's just that Devin Lloyd Is is one of those
- 9:28Speaker 1: guys who gravitates to the camera. Uh, is very comfortable
- 9:34Speaker 1: in that environment, likes it. He did the Duval thing
- 9:37Speaker 1: with Ulissa Stark right off the top at the draft. Uh.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And it looks like he's going to be that dynamic,
- 9:45Speaker 1: flashy player on the field, whereas I think Trayvon maybe
- 9:49Speaker 1: more meat and potatoes, if you I mean, if that's
- 9:52Speaker 1: the right way to say it. But I when Devon plays,
- 9:57Speaker 1: I think you're going to notice splash. Think of him
- 10:00Speaker 1: perhaps as a really really really good Telvin Smith. I
- 10:05Speaker 1: mean I can't tell him was very very good but
- 10:07Speaker 1: highly drafted, uh, playing that type that sort of energy,
- 10:13Speaker 1: but I would expect him to be long term and better.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Can you imagine Telvin Smith pounds? Yeah, I mean he
- 10:20Speaker 1: struggled to right. And you know when you watched him
- 10:25Speaker 1: and Chad Muma running from across the field, you're like, oh,
- 10:29Speaker 1: I mean they were just it was so clear who
- 10:31Speaker 1: the draft picks were, especially the first four, because they
- 10:34Speaker 1: have that special something about them physical characteristics, athletic characteristics. Um.
- 10:39Speaker 1: And then that's what I mean. I mean he flips
- 10:43Speaker 1: those hips and turns and runs and and so it's
- 10:45Speaker 1: easy to see you they talk about that hybrid safety
- 10:47Speaker 1: position that they used in Tampa and him being the
- 10:50Speaker 1: ideal fit for that. And then to listen to him talk,
- 10:53Speaker 1: you know, to hear the football i Q come through. Um.
- 10:56Speaker 1: You know again rookie minicamp can't get over the top
- 10:59Speaker 1: with it. But sure looks like they did very well
- 11:02Speaker 1: on draft weekend. Yeah, and it was cool with Muma's
- 11:04Speaker 1: press commerce how he kind of detailed. You know, when
- 11:07Speaker 1: Lloyd got drafted, he thought, Okay, I'm not going to
- 11:09Speaker 1: the jag Wars, And it was cool to hear him
- 11:11Speaker 1: explain what the coaching staff is explained to him of
- 11:13Speaker 1: having those options that inside linebacker where if movements in
- 11:17Speaker 1: Lloyd's resting, and never having enough options in that room
- 11:20Speaker 1: to always have a fresh body to go in. It's
- 11:22Speaker 1: such a situational game now. And I say this during
- 11:25Speaker 1: the draft leading up to it, everybody wants to analyze
- 11:30Speaker 1: the depth chart and oh, you drafted this guy, he's
- 11:32Speaker 1: a fourth three linebackers will be behind this um. When
- 11:36Speaker 1: you actually we've all watched the football in our lives,
- 11:40Speaker 1: when you actually watched the game, are you everything about
- 11:42Speaker 1: the depth chart? You know? Not at that point, especially
- 11:46Speaker 1: in the modern NFL, where you've got situations nicols, you've
- 11:50Speaker 1: got guys hurt, you've got guys come out the field
- 11:53Speaker 1: rolling in defensive line and all games. So the reality
- 11:56Speaker 1: is once you know, if you build for depth chart
- 11:59Speaker 1: in the offseason, and all of a sudden during the season,
- 12:01Speaker 1: you find yourself without enough guys who can play certain positions.
- 12:06Speaker 1: So I I had zero problem with the pick too
- 12:09Speaker 1: long around here, it's been there's been a bit too
- 12:12Speaker 1: mis need in the draft of times. Uh, these guys
- 12:15Speaker 1: can play, let them go find a spot. Too often
- 12:18Speaker 1: in this thing we talked about scheming schemes, but your
- 12:20Speaker 1: scheme players matchup players. You see where Chad MoMA can
- 12:23Speaker 1: line up against the tight end or a particular slot
- 12:25Speaker 1: receiver or because of the run game. This reminds me
- 12:29Speaker 1: of and we haven't seen it a long time because
- 12:31Speaker 1: of the salary cap. But you know those great Cowboy
- 12:33Speaker 1: teams and I know you grew up watching them back
- 12:34Speaker 1: in the early nineties. They just rolled guys off the bench.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I mean they had so many players. They did such
- 12:39Speaker 1: a good job of drafting the best available player and
- 12:42Speaker 1: never worrying about how they'd use them, but knowing there
- 12:46Speaker 1: was a spot for them on the field. It feels
- 12:48Speaker 1: like that's their approach here um and allows them to
- 12:50Speaker 1: scheme individual matchups. And as John said, that's the modern game.
- 12:53Speaker 1: And here's the thing. If the movement makes three plays
- 12:57Speaker 1: that make momentum differences, next, you know they need playmakers
- 13:03Speaker 1: on this scene. Any guys who and you don't draft
- 13:07Speaker 1: just for the first year anyway, I mean, how many
- 13:09Speaker 1: times have we seen free agents come in? Uh? Usually
- 13:12Speaker 1: free agents are are two year type players, so you've
- 13:17Speaker 1: got to draft for the long term. This looks to
- 13:20Speaker 1: me like a big piece gone forward. I'm gonna paraphrase
- 13:22Speaker 1: Trent Balky here, but he said something after that pick
- 13:25Speaker 1: two that made a lot of sense. It's okay to
- 13:27Speaker 1: be really really deep and great at one position and
- 13:30Speaker 1: maybe have to work on another one. That's fine. They
- 13:32Speaker 1: have a really deep room. So and if you run
- 13:33Speaker 1: a three four JPS, you know you've got to have linebackers,
- 13:36Speaker 1: more linebackers, more linebackers, more linebackers, and um, it's felt
- 13:40Speaker 1: the last I felt last year like they didn't have enough. Yeah,
- 13:43Speaker 1: especially in the middle of the season. I mean, if
- 13:44Speaker 1: one of those guys, God forbid, goes down and then
- 13:47Speaker 1: you have movement going in, you still feel okay. Slynn,
- 13:50Speaker 1: you mentioned that movements press conference. Luke Fortner also spoke
- 13:53Speaker 1: with the media. Those are available on Jaguars dot com

- 15:23Speaker 1: even our our veteran camp we had a couple of
- 15:25Speaker 1: weeks ago. It was really it was exciting for me
- 15:27Speaker 1: to get back and be around the guys that way,
- 15:29Speaker 1: you know, in a competitive sort of spirit. I'll tell
- 15:31Speaker 1: you this. Our team's really embraced the off season extremely well.
- 15:34Speaker 1: And um, these guys are excited. There's a lot of
- 15:37Speaker 1: energy in the room right now and in the building
- 15:39Speaker 1: and and um, you know, this is just another sort
- 15:42Speaker 1: of element to that with the rookies, you know, And
- 15:44Speaker 1: and it's a it's a it's a weekend right now
- 15:47Speaker 1: where the rookies don't have to feel the pressure of
- 15:49Speaker 1: veterans being around them, and where they can just and
- 15:52Speaker 1: we can focus on them and and and get them
- 15:55Speaker 1: sort of caught up, you know. Um, and then come Monday,
- 15:58Speaker 1: we're all together as a squad and and uh continue

- 16:04Speaker 1: time for me and and obviously for for our organizations.
- 16:07Speaker 1: We've said this in a number of different areas, but
- 16:09Speaker 1: it feels like he totally understands the pace of an
- 16:12Speaker 1: NFL offseason. Obviously, he's been in the league since one,
- 16:15Speaker 1: has been a head coach, He's won a Super Bowl.
- 16:17Speaker 1: He knows what it takes to get his team ready.
- 16:19Speaker 1: But he also understands that there is some shell shock
- 16:23Speaker 1: from last year around here with the players and the staff.
- 16:27Speaker 1: You believe there has to be some kind of healing, um,
- 16:29Speaker 1: you know, with with you know, the situation and everything
- 16:33Speaker 1: that transpired last year, because it's just there's a lack
- 16:35Speaker 1: of trust that was broken, I think, and and um,
- 16:38Speaker 1: you know, for me, it's about gaining the trust back.
- 16:40Speaker 1: And they've got to see it through me. They got
- 16:43Speaker 1: to see the transparency, the honesty. You know. I've always
- 16:47Speaker 1: said that I'm gonna be open with them, and I
- 16:48Speaker 1: want them to be open with me, and and it
- 16:50Speaker 1: just comes down to communication, right and have an open
- 16:53Speaker 1: line of communication. And and we've been able to have
- 16:56Speaker 1: some conversations that way and team team settings, and you know,
- 17:00Speaker 1: I think the guys have really embraced it are doing well. Ashlyn.
- 17:03Speaker 1: That was the money quote of the week. That's the
- 17:04Speaker 1: one we saw all over the place nationally from from
- 17:07Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's appearance on Friday. Yeah, and I think it's
- 17:10Speaker 1: notable because that was really the first time that that
- 17:12Speaker 1: Doug basically stated the obvious that last year happened. It
- 17:16Speaker 1: was terrible. There needs to be healing, there needs to
- 17:18Speaker 1: be trust brought back, and I thought it was it
- 17:21Speaker 1: was great for Doug to address that. I've kind of
- 17:22Speaker 1: been waiting for that, and I understand he wasn't here
- 17:24Speaker 1: so it wasn't necessary, but I thought it said a
- 17:26Speaker 1: lot about him to say, yeah, I saw what happened,
- 17:29Speaker 1: and I know we got to move on. Well, you know,
- 17:32Speaker 1: even if it hadn't been all the extreme off field stuff, uh,
- 17:38Speaker 1: because I don't know that we'll ever know publicly all
- 17:41Speaker 1: of that mosaic where we call it. You had a
- 17:44Speaker 1: coach in here who was here for thirteen games. At
- 17:47Speaker 1: the very least, Doug has to come in and established
- 17:49Speaker 1: with the players, this is how it's going to be.
- 17:53Speaker 1: It's we're not flipping a house here. Yeah, it's gonna
- 17:57Speaker 1: be long term. He's gonna calm things down. This is
- 17:58Speaker 1: how it's gonna be. We artless of the details of
- 18:02Speaker 1: last year, and he's had a great job of coming
- 18:05Speaker 1: in and saying I get it, I get what this is.
- 18:08Speaker 1: They get what it's supposed to be listen to me, transparency, etcetera. Uh,
- 18:13Speaker 1: He's an easy guy to believe in quickly, and I
- 18:17Speaker 1: think that sort of Trump's any sort of money quote
- 18:20Speaker 1: he may have had about last week, the big picture
- 18:22Speaker 1: for this franchise is that personality is very positive and
- 18:26Speaker 1: very needed. Right now, Bryan, he's so calm, you know,
- 18:29Speaker 1: I mean what I've said before, It feels like he's
- 18:30Speaker 1: the big brother that walks in, that puts his arm
- 18:32Speaker 1: around the shoulder of the whole franchise, right because there's
- 18:35Speaker 1: people on the football side of people on the business side.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Traumatized is the wrong word, but who who were shell
- 18:40Speaker 1: shocked after dealing with what last year was. He's just
- 18:43Speaker 1: so different than that last year. What did you hear
- 18:45Speaker 1: all the time? Oh, we got the best, we got
- 18:47Speaker 1: the best, We're bringing in the best. All this guy
- 18:50Speaker 1: says is is here's the plan, let's go execute it.
- 18:52Speaker 1: And he can hold up the ring right, both the
- 18:55Speaker 1: one who one is a player and the one that
- 18:56Speaker 1: he wanted a coach. He could talk about Don Shula
- 18:59Speaker 1: and my cal him Grin and bred Farv and Andy Reid.
- 19:02Speaker 1: I mean, he just the players understand who he is.
- 19:05Speaker 1: He goes about his business like a professional football coach does,
- 19:08Speaker 1: and there's just you don't feel this wound up sense
- 19:11Speaker 1: of anxiety in this building. The whole building is calm,
- 19:15Speaker 1: and a good head coach sets the tempo of your building.
- 19:18Speaker 1: He's doing that now and he's not holding the ring
- 19:21Speaker 1: up on his middle finger. I mean, he's not sticking
- 19:25Speaker 1: in your know a kid. But he's an extremely you know,
- 19:31Speaker 1: for the players. He's extremely approachable, but not really approachable
- 19:36Speaker 1: in a way that you can walk over if you
- 19:37Speaker 1: follow me. Approachable, but he has a a head coach
- 19:42Speaker 1: presidential feel to him as well. Uh, he's not your friend,
- 19:47Speaker 1: you know, he's the leader, but it's it's a very
- 19:50Speaker 1: head coach tone and I think it's, uh, you know,
- 19:54Speaker 1: it's what's needed in this era of the NFL, this
- 19:58Speaker 1: type of personalities which needs a coach. Al Right, well
- 20:02Speaker 1: we got coming up this week. Zoney got a pod?
- 20:04Speaker 1: What's up? I have a pod? I believe it will
- 20:07Speaker 1: be with Chad Muma um and uh we taped it
- 20:12Speaker 1: or tape? We don't tape anymore. What do we do now?
- 20:13Speaker 1: We just record Ashland audio tape was a form of record.
- 20:24Speaker 1: But we talked to him Friday right after practice. Uh
