- 0:39Speaker 1: Caldwell coming up in just a moment. The Jaguars General
- 0:43Speaker 1: manager joining us on the program today. Logs, you know,
- 0:47Speaker 1: it's been a busy day around t I A. Bank
- 0:49Speaker 1: Field and you know, um, they had the team vote
- 0:52Speaker 1: this morning. They decided to go practice today. It's the
- 0:56Speaker 1: big story line around the league. A lot of teams
- 0:57Speaker 1: are did not practice is the last day or so,
- 1:02Speaker 1: and the Jaguars did today and it's gonna be a
- 1:04Speaker 1: conversation point moving forward. Her loves Yeah, I don't think
- 1:09Speaker 1: it it's gonna be ending anytime soon. And uh, and
- 1:13Speaker 1: rightly so. I mean, if the players want to create
- 1:15Speaker 1: actionable change, then that's something that needs to continue to happen,
- 1:19Speaker 1: and they need to continue to be at the forefront
- 1:21Speaker 1: of the topic and in too, in some ways, lead
- 1:24Speaker 1: the discussion. But I also think that there are ways
- 1:28Speaker 1: and there are people that the players can lean on
- 1:31Speaker 1: to help them make what are is going to be
- 1:34Speaker 1: the best decisions really to take going forward, because I mean,
- 1:38Speaker 1: this is a complicated thing, you know, JP, if you
- 1:40Speaker 1: think about it for a minute, you know that locker
- 1:43Speaker 1: room is diverse. In the locker room also has a
- 1:47Speaker 1: lot of young men. When I was years old, I
- 1:53Speaker 1: didn't know what the best way to be or or
- 1:58Speaker 1: the best course of action would be in a lot
- 2:01Speaker 1: of just regular scenarios for an individual. But man, you
- 2:04Speaker 1: talk about something that's as big as some of these
- 2:06Speaker 1: social issues. Man, that that's that's big, you know. And
- 2:10Speaker 1: so so I understand a lot of the hesitation players
- 2:13Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's the best way to handle this,
- 2:16Speaker 1: you know, do we not practice, do we protest? Do
- 2:18Speaker 1: we do we not play a game? Uh, it's a
- 2:21Speaker 1: complex situation, and I don't think there's any simple answers.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Dave calledwell Jaguars general manager joining us on today's Doug
- 2:31Speaker 1: Morone Show. Can you hear us now, Dave, I can
- 2:35Speaker 1: hear you loud and clear. Oh, we appreciate you coming
- 2:39Speaker 1: on today. Let's We've got plenty to talk about with you,
- 2:42Speaker 1: of course for the next half hours, so we'll get
- 2:44Speaker 1: into Yeah, we hear you clearly. We'll we'll get into
- 2:47Speaker 1: a lot of the players that we're planning on leaning
- 2:50Speaker 1: on this year. But let's start with the news today, Dave.
- 2:54Speaker 1: The events that happened this morning. The players voted to
- 2:57Speaker 1: practice and apparently, according to Chris Connelly, was a close vote.
- 3:01Speaker 1: How challenging is a day like this for the organization?
- 3:04Speaker 1: And and what did you learn about the football team today? Well?
- 3:08Speaker 1: I learned that they're they're united, and I think that's
- 3:11Speaker 1: the most important thing. And there there is power in
- 3:15Speaker 1: numbers and with our players, and everything was thought out
- 3:19Speaker 1: very well. Um. You know, coach Marron Um had a
- 3:23Speaker 1: big meeting with the players, Marcus Polar players had only
- 3:27Speaker 1: meeting and they came to the vote that they would practice.
- 3:31Speaker 1: And even the guys have voted against practice decide to practice.
- 3:35Speaker 1: So I'm really proud that they did it, and whatever
- 3:38Speaker 1: they did, they did it together. Boy day, what an
- 3:42Speaker 1: incredibly challenging year for so many different reasons. I mean,
- 3:46Speaker 1: to start out with, you you have a lot of
- 3:49Speaker 1: change within the organization. Then you have, oh, by the way,
- 3:51Speaker 1: a global pandemic, and then you have social issues, and
- 3:55Speaker 1: and then really as you approached training camp, you really
- 3:59Speaker 1: didn't even know what to expect. I mean, the ground
- 4:01Speaker 1: rules really weren't laid until I don't want to say
- 4:04Speaker 1: last minute, but I mean the NFL was certainly utilizing
- 4:07Speaker 1: every time that they could to make sure that they
- 4:10Speaker 1: were making the right decisions about I mean, holy cow,
- 4:14Speaker 1: what a turbulent year. Yeah, that's why I'm doing this show.
- 4:18Speaker 1: They said this was Tito's happy hours, so I said, well,
- 4:20Speaker 1: I need some Tito's uh jokingly but uh but in
- 4:25Speaker 1: all seriousness, it has been. But you know, that's our
- 4:28Speaker 1: job and and the challenges. You know, we can't we
- 4:33Speaker 1: cancer come to the challenges. And and this goes back
- 4:36Speaker 1: to before the draft and and talking with our staff
- 4:40Speaker 1: and our our direct reports and our coaching staff, and
- 4:44Speaker 1: we had a feeling that the NFL was going to
- 4:45Speaker 1: go on as planned, and we said we got to
- 4:47Speaker 1: find a reason and and and find a way to
- 4:50Speaker 1: do this, uh and not make excuses. And UM, so far,
- 4:53Speaker 1: I'm really pleased with everybody in the organization that, um,
- 4:56Speaker 1: we're finding new and improved ways of of doing our
- 4:59Speaker 1: business and uh, just like this radio show that we're
- 5:02Speaker 1: doing remotely and it's been really good. Yeah, it's just
- 5:07Speaker 1: been a it's been a big challenge, I think in
- 5:09Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. And I don't think the
- 5:11Speaker 1: challenge has been any bigger than it has probably been
- 5:15Speaker 1: then for head coach Doug Maron. I mean, he's the
- 5:18Speaker 1: guy that that's handling the players on the day to
- 5:20Speaker 1: the basis as well as you are. But talk about
- 5:23Speaker 1: that relationship with you and Doug. And in a year
- 5:27Speaker 1: in which social distancing has kind of been the requirement,
- 5:30Speaker 1: that it's got to be odd. But at the same time,
- 5:32Speaker 1: it probably has brought you guys closer, hasn't it. It has?
- 5:36Speaker 1: And and I give coach coach Brown a ton of credit.
- 5:39Speaker 1: He's finally doing the things that he wants to do
- 5:43Speaker 1: with this team, and he's you know, the players are
- 5:46Speaker 1: really happy and excited about playing football here, players that
- 5:50Speaker 1: have been here, players from other teams that have come
- 5:53Speaker 1: here and um, you know, the things that we've been
- 5:55Speaker 1: through the last two years and the reputation that we
- 5:58Speaker 1: may have had as an organization, and players coming they're like, Wow,
- 6:01Speaker 1: I'm loving football again. I'm loving being here. And and
- 6:04Speaker 1: the schedule of coach of Moron has put together has
- 6:06Speaker 1: been really good. And I give him a lot of credit.
- 6:09Speaker 1: He is the CEO of the team and and he
- 6:11Speaker 1: takes care of the day to day stuff with the players.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I'm here, obviously to support his culture and what he
- 6:16Speaker 1: wants to do, and support the players with whatever they need,
- 6:19Speaker 1: and support our coaches and and that's that's my role
- 6:23Speaker 1: in season, is to be a support for him and
- 6:26Speaker 1: the coaching staff and the players and and it's really
- 6:28Speaker 1: his team and the players and their vision to take
- 6:32Speaker 1: this to the next level. Dave Colwell with US Jaguars
- 6:36Speaker 1: general manager here on the Doug Morons Show. Final Thought here.
- 6:40Speaker 1: As we opened with you, Dave, you know we mentioned
- 6:42Speaker 1: the pandemic and all the changes in the building. You know,
- 6:46Speaker 1: there's a lot of people behind the scenes that have
- 6:48Speaker 1: made that process maybe not smooth, But I don't know
- 6:51Speaker 1: how how smooth that process can be to change everything
- 6:55Speaker 1: in the building. But UM, take us through the folks
- 6:57Speaker 1: on your staff on a daily basis over the last
- 7:00Speaker 1: few months that have prepared things for players to be
- 7:04Speaker 1: in the building. And now that the players are in
- 7:05Speaker 1: the building, they can execute and and not have to
- 7:08Speaker 1: worry about as much. Everything come in to COVID nineteam well.
- 7:13Speaker 1: I really start with our operations staff and Halmasa and
- 7:15Speaker 1: his group UH combined with our video staff, we we
- 7:19Speaker 1: created UH rooms where our players can social distance. We
- 7:22Speaker 1: created m a a place where Coach Moron can do
- 7:26Speaker 1: his meetings remotely from his office so we don't have
- 7:29Speaker 1: to do team meetings. UM and our video department or
- 7:33Speaker 1: i T departments done a tremendous job of getting the
- 7:35Speaker 1: technology that we we needed in place to be able
- 7:39Speaker 1: to do to those meetings remotely. To keep the social
- 7:41Speaker 1: distancing intact, UM, we've rearranged the meeting rooms to put
- 7:45Speaker 1: the maybe some of the rooms where offensive line where
- 7:48Speaker 1: there's more players. We combined the rooms and knocked down
- 7:51Speaker 1: some walls and it really did a nice job there.
- 7:54Speaker 1: And then our training staff and making sure you know,
- 7:56Speaker 1: the cleaning the cleaning crews at night. Our training is
- 8:00Speaker 1: half and our I c O. Cassie at how they've
- 8:02Speaker 1: done tremendous work in terms of making sure this is
- 8:05Speaker 1: as as sanitary as a place for people to come
- 8:08Speaker 1: to work and get tested on a daily basis. And
- 8:11Speaker 1: it's been really impressive to see um, not only um
- 8:15Speaker 1: what everybody's put forward to keep our players and our
- 8:17Speaker 1: our staff healthy, but also to see the players take
- 8:21Speaker 1: ownership of it too, and wearing their masks and and
- 8:23Speaker 1: practicing the social distance. And we get reports every day
- 8:26Speaker 1: of maybe some meetings that go too long or too
- 8:29Speaker 1: close to each other, and and uh, we're looking at
- 8:32Speaker 1: as a competition. Well, we don't want to be the
- 8:34Speaker 1: worst in the league with with our high risk contacts,
- 8:38Speaker 1: so we all take a challenge and trying to do
- 8:41Speaker 1: the right thing. Hey, let's come back in a moment.
- 8:44Speaker 1: We'll get into the football talk with the general manager
- 8:46Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Dave Caldwell, and we'll start with
- 8:50Speaker 1: the quarterback. It's after this. It's the Doug Morone Show,

- 11:18Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Lagerman no head coach this week. The
- 11:22Speaker 1: general manager is in Dave Caldwell joins us from from
- 11:26Speaker 1: t I A bank Field and let's get to football. Now.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Let's start obviously with a quarterback position here. Year two
- 11:31Speaker 1: for Gardner? Minshew, what kind of directive did he get
- 11:36Speaker 1: in the off season? And you know, we saw a
- 11:39Speaker 1: bunch of video of him doing workouts and then all
- 11:42Speaker 1: of a sudden he comes back. He looks a little,
- 11:44Speaker 1: a little stronger. How different of a player do you
- 11:48Speaker 1: expect him to be this year? And how much of
- 11:50Speaker 1: a challenge will it be with a new offense with Gardner? Sure,
- 11:55Speaker 1: I don't think there was any actual directive for him,
- 11:59Speaker 1: And I think he's a type of player that needs
- 12:01Speaker 1: a lot of directive. He's he's a self starter, um,
- 12:04Speaker 1: and he realized once we trade Nick Foles that he
- 12:07Speaker 1: had a tremendous opportunity to put his best foot forward
- 12:10Speaker 1: and become the starter of this team and at least
- 12:13Speaker 1: compete for that, not knowing what we do in free
- 12:15Speaker 1: agency and throughout the draft. And uh, I don't think
- 12:18Speaker 1: he was gonna let this opportunities passing by. And it
- 12:21Speaker 1: didn't matter who was going to come in here and
- 12:22Speaker 1: compete with him, he was gonna seize the opportunity well
- 12:28Speaker 1: and Uh, he's still a young quarterback, David, He's got
- 12:31Speaker 1: a lot of growth, and having an offensive line that
- 12:34Speaker 1: that raises their level of play has got to be
- 12:36Speaker 1: imperative for your offense this year, especially when you've got
- 12:40Speaker 1: a new offense with Jay Gruden taken over his offensive coordinator.
- 12:44Speaker 1: The offensive line from from my eyes, especially Cam Robinson
- 12:48Speaker 1: at left tackle, looks like they're taking some steps to
- 12:50Speaker 1: get better. Yeah, it's been really good to see. And
- 12:54Speaker 1: when you watch practice on a daily basis, those guys
- 12:56Speaker 1: are firing off the ball, they're they're in sync that
- 12:59Speaker 1: they're communicating really well. Coach Warhop and coach Soprano have
- 13:02Speaker 1: done a really nice job of coaching those guys up
- 13:05Speaker 1: and and you gotta give a lot of credit to
- 13:07Speaker 1: those guys and guys like A. J. Cann I think
- 13:09Speaker 1: is having his best camp, Andrew Norwell, Jowan Taylor coming
- 13:13Speaker 1: to a second year. And then obviously, like you said,
- 13:15Speaker 1: the big question is Cam Robinson UH and his UH
- 13:18Speaker 1: and his fourth year but finally healthy. You know, people
- 13:21Speaker 1: don't realize he didn't have any training camp last year.
- 13:24Speaker 1: He was coming off in a c L. He missed
- 13:25Speaker 1: the first two games and he really didn't really work
- 13:28Speaker 1: himself into a healthy player until about three corps away
- 13:31Speaker 1: of the season, so he missed a lot. He's taking
- 13:34Speaker 1: advantage of his opportunity now. And you know, the key
- 13:37Speaker 1: is to keep those guys healthy and keep them together
- 13:40Speaker 1: and hopefully they're in sync come the season. But if
- 13:43Speaker 1: they get just a little bit better as it collectively
- 13:45Speaker 1: of his group, we're gonna be a good offense. Yeah.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I know that that. You were there watching the one
- 13:50Speaker 1: on one pass role that I was watching with my
- 13:53Speaker 1: eyes earlier in the week, and it was Cam against
- 13:55Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and Josh had been having such an amazing camp.
- 13:59Speaker 1: He's been stressed everybody and pass rushing and holy col
- 14:03Speaker 1: Cam Robinson shut him down twice. And it was good
- 14:05Speaker 1: to see because you know, when you got two talented players,
- 14:08Speaker 1: you want to see one guy win some and then
- 14:10Speaker 1: have the other guy win some so that you feel
- 14:12Speaker 1: good about it. Yeah, now that is that. That is
- 14:16Speaker 1: interesting and from a general manager standpoint, And when you're
- 14:19Speaker 1: watching was one on once and you're like, you don't
- 14:22Speaker 1: I guess I don't know who. Sometimes I like a
- 14:25Speaker 1: stalemate too and see them both compete. But um, the
- 14:28Speaker 1: one thing you want to do is make sure they
- 14:29Speaker 1: stay healthy. And I look at when you got Czi
- 14:31Speaker 1: Henderson going against Labisco Nal, I don't know who do
- 14:33Speaker 1: I want to win that battle? And uh, it's fun
- 14:36Speaker 1: to watch those guys compete, and uh, obviously as long
- 14:40Speaker 1: as they keep competing and getting each other better. And
- 14:43Speaker 1: and from cam standpoint, when you get to go against
- 14:45Speaker 1: the guy like Josh Allen on a daily basis, hopefully
- 14:48Speaker 1: that makes game days better for him because we feel
- 14:51Speaker 1: like Josh is starting to scratch the surf up with
- 14:53Speaker 1: being one of the better players in the league. Well
- 14:56Speaker 1: even some really nice weapons with the young players. Dave
- 15:00Speaker 1: uh Chennault certainly a good young player. And then you've
- 15:02Speaker 1: got a young wide receiver. I gotta make sure I
- 15:04Speaker 1: look at my list here. Uh, Colin Johnson, He's done
- 15:07Speaker 1: some really nice things. He's got a lot of big
- 15:08Speaker 1: size and he plays big, which is impressive watching him
- 15:12Speaker 1: in the tight end group. Unfortunately, you've had an injury
- 15:14Speaker 1: there with Josh Oliver. But are you satisfied with the
- 15:18Speaker 1: with the weapons that you have been able to surround
- 15:21Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew with Yeah. A matter of fact, I just
- 15:24Speaker 1: asked Gardner that the other day and he was really
- 15:26Speaker 1: excited about what he's got around him. Obviously, DJ Chark
- 15:30Speaker 1: is coming off a Pro Bowl season. You got a
- 15:32Speaker 1: veteran like Chris Conley who we really like and can
- 15:35Speaker 1: do a lot of different things. Uh, Keelan Cole is
- 15:39Speaker 1: having a really good camp right now. And you've got d. D.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Westbrook in the slot. And then we added two young
- 15:43Speaker 1: players at uh we're not disappointed, and we're actually really
- 15:47Speaker 1: excited about getting a Labisca Chanal in the second round
- 15:49Speaker 1: who can do a lot of different things. He's a
- 15:51Speaker 1: power receiver, he's he's dynamic with the ball in his hands.
- 15:54Speaker 1: And and then in the fifth round, Colin Johnson, who
- 15:57Speaker 1: you know, we took him. We're like, you know, this
- 15:59Speaker 1: guy could come in and now he is having a
- 16:01Speaker 1: tremendous camp. He's uh, he's playing inside, he's playing outside.
- 16:04Speaker 1: He for a big guy, he can really get in
- 16:06Speaker 1: and out of his breaks, and he's making some tremendous catches.
- 16:09Speaker 1: And uh, it's gonna be fun to see those guys
- 16:12Speaker 1: compete and see what they can do throughout the year.
- 16:16Speaker 1: It's pretty easy to see when Leavisca should not walks
- 16:19Speaker 1: by you on the practice field, for the first time.
- 16:21Speaker 1: What the hype was all about. I mean, this guy, um,
- 16:24Speaker 1: you know, he's six two seven and all of that.
- 16:27Speaker 1: But you know what was the thing that said out
- 16:30Speaker 1: the most about him on his college tape? But was
- 16:33Speaker 1: it maybe the breakaway ability getting out of a tackle
- 16:36Speaker 1: because of that big frame? Yeah, I think what what
- 16:40Speaker 1: you look at Leavisca. It was an interesting study from
- 16:42Speaker 1: a scout standpoint, because we were this time last year,
- 16:45Speaker 1: we had him rited as one of the top receivers
- 16:47Speaker 1: in the draft off of his eighteen season and probably
- 16:51Speaker 1: if he would have came out that year even would
- 16:53Speaker 1: have been, if not the first, maybe the second receiver
- 16:55Speaker 1: taken that year. And then we're looking for these big
- 16:58Speaker 1: things for him to grow up on him. We were like,
- 16:59Speaker 1: this is gonna be a top ten fifteen pick. And
- 17:02Speaker 1: then you come to find out he had a injury
- 17:05Speaker 1: this time in camp last year and it was a
- 17:08Speaker 1: little bit undiagnosed from my from my understanding, and he
- 17:11Speaker 1: played all year maybe and went through the combine, did
- 17:15Speaker 1: everything and and kind of realized that he needed taken
- 17:18Speaker 1: care of um. And then when you look back and
- 17:20Speaker 1: you're like, wow, he played through the nineteen season with
- 17:24Speaker 1: this injury, and he played at a pretty high level,
- 17:26Speaker 1: not to what he did in eighteen. But you give
- 17:29Speaker 1: the kid and his makeup and his toughness and his competitiveness,
- 17:32Speaker 1: and that's the type of guy you want to go
- 17:34Speaker 1: to to bat with. And he's, uh, he's been all that.
- 17:38Speaker 1: And and we feel like once he got his surgery
- 17:41Speaker 1: corrected that that he leave it a lot of his
- 17:43Speaker 1: issues and so he's still working himself back into football shape.
- 17:48Speaker 1: But we feel like that he's a guy that you
- 17:51Speaker 1: can do a lot of things with and and and
- 17:52Speaker 1: this power and his size and his competitiveness are outstanding.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Let's come back in a moment more with the g
- 18:00Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell. We'll flip it around to the defensive side
- 18:02Speaker 1: and discuss scouting without preseason games. This is the Doug

- 20:41Speaker 1: from the home studio, Jeff log Even from his home studio,
- 20:45Speaker 1: and Dave Caldwell, the general manager, steps in for the
- 20:48Speaker 1: head coach tonight from t I A A. Bank Field.
- 20:50Speaker 1: We appreciate your time. Dave was flipping around to defense
- 20:55Speaker 1: and you know you you watch Josh Allen walk out
- 20:58Speaker 1: in the field and training camp and it's obvious that
- 21:02Speaker 1: he has been working his tail off this offseason after
- 21:05Speaker 1: a pro Bowl rookie year. This guy's got it all
- 21:09Speaker 1: together right, He's got it all physically, he's got everything
- 21:12Speaker 1: above the shoulder as you want, and he's everything you
- 21:16Speaker 1: want on this defense and for this organization. There's no
- 21:18Speaker 1: doubt about that. And even if there wasn't any time before,
- 21:21Speaker 1: which there shouldn't have been after this offseason, at least
- 21:24Speaker 1: so far, he looks and he sounds the part. Yeah,
- 21:28Speaker 1: there there's no doubt about that. And I'll take how
- 21:32Speaker 1: we say there's fifty three Josh Allen's any day, and
- 21:35Speaker 1: not just because of the talent, but the way he
- 21:37Speaker 1: approaches the game and his business on and off the field. Um,
- 21:41Speaker 1: you know, between that draft class last year with him
- 21:44Speaker 1: and Joan Taylor and Quincy Williams and Josh Oliver, I mean,
- 21:48Speaker 1: those guys have been really, really good in terms of
- 21:51Speaker 1: how they approached their business and you could win a
- 21:54Speaker 1: lot of football games with an attitude like that. The
- 22:00Speaker 1: Dave Calevan Chason also looks to be the part kind
- 22:03Speaker 1: of the same position as Josh Allen. But the challenges
- 22:06Speaker 1: has really been the rest of your defensive line. You
- 22:09Speaker 1: had two opt out, You've had Rodney Gunner having to retire,
- 22:13Speaker 1: because of a heart condition. You've got two impending suspensions
- 22:17Speaker 1: along with two guys on your defensive line. When the
- 22:20Speaker 1: season starts, as a as a general manager, where are
- 22:24Speaker 1: you at with that defensive line and where do you
- 22:27Speaker 1: want to see it go? And could there be opportunities
- 22:30Speaker 1: once there's cuts made from other teams to maybe address
- 22:33Speaker 1: that defensive line or do you feel good about what
- 22:35Speaker 1: you got? Sure, we'll look at We'll definitely look at
- 22:38Speaker 1: opportunities as as players come available. But the one saving
- 22:43Speaker 1: grace is that the issues that we had all came early.
- 22:46Speaker 1: So we had our pick up players that we wanted
- 22:48Speaker 1: to go after and and and come in and compete.
- 22:52Speaker 1: And when you can go pick up, be the first
- 22:54Speaker 1: guy to pick up a Tammy Journey again or Adam Gossis,
- 22:56Speaker 1: guys that have played who really fit our mold and
- 22:59Speaker 1: have that are really good job since they've been here. Um,
- 23:03Speaker 1: we feel like those guys could do a really good job.
- 23:05Speaker 1: And other guys Karen Reid, who really fits our scheme
- 23:07Speaker 1: and and I'm sure you guys have caught him, you know,
- 23:10Speaker 1: um coming off the ball and being disruptive. So we've
- 23:13Speaker 1: got three guys there that have played, have played at
- 23:16Speaker 1: a pretty good level and maybe able to play at
- 23:18Speaker 1: a higher level in this scheme, So we feel good
- 23:21Speaker 1: about that. And then you have a young guy like
- 23:22Speaker 1: Davon Hamilton's where we weren't sure how how many reps
- 23:25Speaker 1: he was gonna have behind Al Woods or Rodney Gunter,
- 23:28Speaker 1: and then uh, as you've seen him, he's a load
- 23:30Speaker 1: out there and uh, I think he's given our offensive
- 23:33Speaker 1: line everything they can handle. So I would not say
- 23:35Speaker 1: that our coverages bear there. It's uh, you know, our
- 23:39Speaker 1: depth definitely took a hit. Um, But Dwan Smooths having
- 23:42Speaker 1: a great camp. He's coming off of a really good
- 23:44Speaker 1: year last year. You have Josh Allen Calais on Chason um,
- 23:49Speaker 1: so we feel good about that. From what you guys
- 23:52Speaker 1: have seen with Tavin Brian was having his best camp.
- 23:55Speaker 1: He'll be back in the lineup with Devon Hamilton's and
- 23:57Speaker 1: then our savvy Abat Abray Jones, who who can play
- 24:00Speaker 1: really anywhere along the defensive line. So we can only
- 24:03Speaker 1: dress eight ey game day. Um. You know, as long
- 24:05Speaker 1: as the guys we have now stay healthy, we think
- 24:08Speaker 1: they'll all come in and compete and uh we'll we'll
- 24:10Speaker 1: surprise the people along at the line our coaches and
- 24:15Speaker 1: players in there. Boy Devon Hamilton's looks to be a
- 24:21Speaker 1: very large man. I don't know what he weighs in
- 24:23Speaker 1: at Dave, but holy once he gets to push in.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Some of those guys, they don't seem to have an
- 24:28Speaker 1: anchor the offensive lineman anyway, don't have an anchor that
- 24:31Speaker 1: they can throw out. But to move to the linebacker
- 24:34Speaker 1: conversation a little bit, obviously, Joe Schobert was a big
- 24:37Speaker 1: addition and free agency, very successful player. Greg Williams loved
- 24:42Speaker 1: him with the Cleveland Browns when he had him there,
- 24:44Speaker 1: and that enabled you to move Myles Jack from the
- 24:47Speaker 1: mic position to the weak side position. And this is
- 24:51Speaker 1: a big change for for your defense to have, you know,
- 24:54Speaker 1: to position kind of changes in the middle. With the
- 24:57Speaker 1: defense that you know, you're trying to make sure that
- 24:59Speaker 1: you do a good job effectively stopping the run. How
- 25:02Speaker 1: has Joe looked and also how his moles looked. While
- 25:06Speaker 1: Joe has done a really nice job, communication has been
- 25:08Speaker 1: really good. He's still learning our scheme, but but as
- 25:11Speaker 1: a smart guys picking things up quickly and really Miles
- 25:14Speaker 1: has had a great season. Quietly has had a really
- 25:16Speaker 1: nice camp, and Uh, he's playing fast, he's playing instinctive,
- 25:19Speaker 1: and I think he's going to have a really good
- 25:21Speaker 1: year this year. And I feel good about our depth.
- 25:24Speaker 1: And we have guys like we drafted check Cortermaine who's
- 25:28Speaker 1: having a really nice camp, a local local player out
- 25:31Speaker 1: out of Jacksonville who played at University of Miami, and
- 25:34Speaker 1: we finally feel good about some of the depth that
- 25:36Speaker 1: we have a linebacker which we haven't had in the
- 25:38Speaker 1: year's Dave Kolo with US Jaguars General manager um final
- 25:44Speaker 1: thought from me, Dave, here is the difference in scouting
- 25:48Speaker 1: and looking And we were talking about the waiver wire
- 25:51Speaker 1: and possibly at some point maybe adding players at the
- 25:54Speaker 1: cut deadline. Well, it's a little different this year. No
- 25:57Speaker 1: preseason games, no game tape from the preseason. Obviously without games,
- 26:02Speaker 1: there's no game tape. As a scout, as a GM,
- 26:06Speaker 1: what do you lean on, like for a veteran player
- 26:09Speaker 1: or maybe a younger guy, you know, do you look
- 26:11Speaker 1: back at the old tape, do you look back at
- 26:13Speaker 1: college tape? Where are you kind of without giving up
- 26:16Speaker 1: your trade secrets, how do you scout here? It's like
- 26:19Speaker 1: Italian and we've had this talk with a lot of
- 26:22Speaker 1: a lot of our media people too, and it's been
- 26:25Speaker 1: it's been an interesting process. And what we really did was,
- 26:29Speaker 1: you know, you probably look at the players drafting the
- 26:32Speaker 1: fourth rout and higher are going to make their teams,
- 26:34Speaker 1: so we don't spend a lot of time in those guys.
- 26:36Speaker 1: But what we did was we took you know, players
- 26:39Speaker 1: rounds five through seven and and all the college free agents,
- 26:42Speaker 1: and that the scouts that were assigned those teams, we
- 26:45Speaker 1: made him evaluate those guys over the summer and and
- 26:49Speaker 1: now it's just tracking those those players and tracking some
- 26:52Speaker 1: of guys like Jeff Logoman on Twitter and J. P.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Shadrick on Twitter and seeing you know who they're talking about,
- 26:58Speaker 1: you know, late round guys, and you guys have bet
- 27:00Speaker 1: around football long enough. So that's why I kind of
- 27:03Speaker 1: asked some some of our guys that you know, not
- 27:05Speaker 1: talk about our college free agents are late draftable pick
- 27:08Speaker 1: so much, uh Twitter or put video out there. But
- 27:12Speaker 1: those are the things that we have to look at
- 27:13Speaker 1: this year. And it kind of just track, you know,
- 27:15Speaker 1: team by team, and every scout has a couple of
- 27:18Speaker 1: teams and they're looking at the guys that we think
- 27:21Speaker 1: are on the bubble. To make the team on top
- 27:23Speaker 1: of possibly some salary cut cap guys and and maybe
- 27:27Speaker 1: some veterans that maybe on the bubble. So the veterans
- 27:29Speaker 1: are easy because generally have a video from them in
- 27:32Speaker 1: the past and in years a lot of these college
- 27:34Speaker 1: free agents and they draft able picks. We really have
- 27:36Speaker 1: to go off to college stuff this year. All right, Well,
- 27:40Speaker 1: let me just tell you, Daves little if if if
- 27:41Speaker 1: you're gonna follow somebody like me on Twitter, you're gonna
- 27:44Speaker 1: get nothing because I'm just so active on Twitter. But
- 27:48Speaker 1: but I gotta ask you about your first round pick.
- 27:50Speaker 1: We haven't even asked you about about them. So how
- 27:54Speaker 1: what do you like about in the Florida products? C
- 27:56Speaker 1: J looks to be uh like a good football player
- 27:59Speaker 1: athletics as got good movement, but at times he looks
- 28:02Speaker 1: like a young player too. But uh boy certainly got
- 28:05Speaker 1: the skill set he does. We're just having to talk
- 28:08Speaker 1: on the field today. And you know, in terms of
- 28:10Speaker 1: his length and his his ability to press guys at
- 28:12Speaker 1: the lion scream and turn and run deep. You know, Jeff,
- 28:15Speaker 1: you've seen enough corners in this in this scheme where
- 28:18Speaker 1: very few of them can have enough confidence to be
- 28:20Speaker 1: able to get up in the receiver's face, press him
- 28:23Speaker 1: and have the speed to not worry about getting run by.
- 28:26Speaker 1: And he's one of those guys that can do it both.
- 28:28Speaker 1: And and he's still learning the re technique and when
- 28:31Speaker 1: our coaches teach him. But um, he he had a
- 28:35Speaker 1: really nice day the other day where a couple of
- 28:37Speaker 1: past breakups and after he came back from his illness,
- 28:40Speaker 1: and we're really kind of excited about what he can
- 28:43Speaker 1: do with his size, his athleticism in length, and his competitiveness.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Is he's been one of the first guys in the
- 28:49Speaker 1: building and when the last leave. So football is important
- 28:52Speaker 1: to him and it's been it's been really good, good stuff.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Dave Coldwell, general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Always appreciate
- 29:01Speaker 1: your time. Thanks for spending some of it with us tonight.

- 31:47Speaker 1: back to Doug Morrown Show presented by the Florida Department
- 31:50Speaker 1: the Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle JT. Shaddrick, Jeff Logoman,
- 31:53Speaker 1: our thanks to general manager Dave Caldwell joining us in
- 31:57Speaker 1: place of the head coach, Dog Wrong be back with
- 32:00Speaker 1: us next week. I found the last part interesting. We
- 32:05Speaker 1: had talked about it earlier today logs, but hey, guess
- 32:10Speaker 1: what I mean. The scouting is a little more difficult
- 32:12Speaker 1: this preseason where you don't have game tape of other
- 32:15Speaker 1: guys and you're trying to find maybe a guy in
- 32:17Speaker 1: a waiver wired to help a young football team, and
- 32:20Speaker 1: you're you're taking every more sol of information you can
- 32:23Speaker 1: find along the road to try to get that done. Well,
- 32:27Speaker 1: it was interesting that Dave talked about how he went
- 32:30Speaker 1: back and had his scouting staff evaluate rounds five through
- 32:34Speaker 1: seven of all the guys that got drafted, because, you know,
- 32:37Speaker 1: here's the reality. Every team has a different rating of
- 32:41Speaker 1: a guy. You know, so if a guy got drafted
- 32:43Speaker 1: in the fifth round, maybe the Jaguars had a third
- 32:46Speaker 1: round grade on maybe they had a fourth round grade
- 32:48Speaker 1: on them. I don't know, but the essentially what it
- 32:52Speaker 1: is doing is having the Jaguars kind of double check
- 32:56Speaker 1: the guys that they covered, but then also re checking them.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Maybe get a fresh set of eyes to evaluate somebody,
- 33:02Speaker 1: somebody maybe that they Jaguars really like, But all of
- 33:05Speaker 1: a sudden, the Jaguars had somebody there that had maybe
- 33:07Speaker 1: a little higher rating, and they went with that guy.
- 33:09Speaker 1: But maybe this guy could improve them at a at
- 33:12Speaker 1: a maybe a bubble type position, or he got cut,
- 33:14Speaker 1: nobody's putting on a practice squad, and he would be
- 33:17Speaker 1: a very good practice squad edition, maybe better than what
- 33:20Speaker 1: they currently have. And maybe they saw enough of a
- 33:22Speaker 1: god they have on their team right now that they
- 33:24Speaker 1: don't feel very strongly about him. So I thought, that's
- 33:27Speaker 1: a that's a really good job by Dave of having
- 33:31Speaker 1: his scouting staff go back after the draft and re
- 33:35Speaker 1: evaluate everybody in rounds five through seven, And hopefully he
- 33:39Speaker 1: did that with like I said, with maybe a different
- 33:41Speaker 1: set of eyes. They give you some different opinions on
- 33:44Speaker 1: some guys. That's going deep. Now, that's a lot of
- 33:48Speaker 1: players to cover. Yeah, I mean that's look, that's the reality.
- 33:52Speaker 1: I mean, it's uh, I mean, uh, that's why you
- 33:56Speaker 1: have scouting staffs in the National Football League that might
- 33:59Speaker 1: be sixteen deep. You know, maybe some teams are deeper
- 34:02Speaker 1: than that. Very few teams are like the Cincinnati Bengals
- 34:06Speaker 1: and have a skeleton crew of a scouting staff you know,
- 34:09Speaker 1: it wasn't until recently that the Cincinnati Bengals had more
- 34:12Speaker 1: than I think maybe ten guys in their entire scouting department.
- 34:15Speaker 1: They relied on their coaches to do much of the scouting.
- 34:19Speaker 1: But it's become such a needed process that you know,
- 34:23Speaker 1: the Bengals are now starting to finally get to get
- 34:26Speaker 1: with the current times and uh, but yeah, scouting is
- 34:30Speaker 1: incredibly valuable. I mean, you think about this, JP. If
- 34:33Speaker 1: you can have one scout that can find you a
- 34:36Speaker 1: Tom Brady and round six, it changes your franchise completely.
- 34:42Speaker 1: If you can get a Carl Mecklenburg, you know, who's
- 34:46Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame caliber linebacker, defensive end that played
- 34:51Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos, and you get him in round
- 34:53Speaker 1: I think he was round twelve, I mean, it changes
- 34:57Speaker 1: your franchise so um that wife. Scouting is so valuable.
- 35:01Speaker 1: You just never know what kind of hidden gem that
- 35:04Speaker 1: you might be able to uncover. You gotta find the
- 35:08Speaker 1: guy and then convince the decision maker to make that
- 35:12Speaker 1: selection as well when it comes draft day. That's a
- 35:15Speaker 1: big combination. Then hope that player develops and works out.
- 35:19Speaker 1: It's a long process to get to that point and
- 35:22Speaker 1: we'll see if the you know, it's it's a lot
- 35:24Speaker 1: of work still ahead, I think for this team. And um,
- 35:28Speaker 1: you know, he said that there fairly confident on that
- 35:31Speaker 1: defensive line, especially that's the position group you talked about
- 35:34Speaker 1: maybe adding some guys, but you're still there's gonna be
- 35:38Speaker 1: a little bit of churn. Yeah, yeah, I mean he
- 35:41Speaker 1: he said, Look, they're gonna look and be active and
- 35:44Speaker 1: and actively look for ways to improve their roster. And
- 35:47Speaker 1: I think that defensive line is probably one of those areas.
- 35:52Speaker 1: You know. I I do like some of the guys
- 35:54Speaker 1: that they have, but at the same token, I don't
- 35:57Speaker 1: like some of the guys that they have, um, and
- 36:00Speaker 1: I think that they might be able to improve on
- 36:02Speaker 1: some of them, you know. And you know, right now,
- 36:04Speaker 1: I think as as a scouting staff, you're also probably
- 36:08Speaker 1: scouting other teams as far as veterans, because you can
- 36:13Speaker 1: continue to watch veteran take because veterans may become available
- 36:16Speaker 1: where a team decides who go ahead with a younger player,
- 36:19Speaker 1: you know, And the Jaguar scouting staff make no mistake
- 36:21Speaker 1: about it, They tracked teams, They tracked their rosters. They
- 36:25Speaker 1: know that for example, maybe the Baltimore Ravens have a
- 36:29Speaker 1: tremendous running back room and have a lot of depth there,
- 36:33Speaker 1: and there might be a guy that gets cut from
- 36:34Speaker 1: that running back room with with the Baltimore Ravens that's
- 36:38Speaker 1: a valuable player. You know, I'm not saying that they're
- 36:40Speaker 1: looking for a running back. I'm just using that as
- 36:42Speaker 1: an example. You know, maybe uh, you know, the Washington Redskins.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Maybe they're deep at defensive end or defensive line because
- 36:51Speaker 1: they have a lot of draft capital of that position.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Maybe they cut a guy that can play. And so
- 36:56Speaker 1: they scout teams as well as individuals to know which
- 37:00Speaker 1: teams are more likely than another to maybe shed a
- 37:03Speaker 1: guide a certain position that they may have interest in.
- 37:08Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna come back and we're going to
- 37:10Speaker 1: start a fine system for every time Logoman says the
- 37:14Speaker 1: Washington football team's old nickname, and we'll get into the
- 37:18Speaker 1: offensive lines with the Jags as well. This is the
- 37:21Speaker 1: Doug Baron Show on Jaguars Radio. Hey, Jacksonville, this is

- 39:53Speaker 1: Show continues our thanks to Dave Caldwell, Jaguars general manager,
- 39:56Speaker 1: who joined us in the first half hour tonight. UH

- 40:03Speaker 1: Jaguars podcast Network if you missed out, and the replay
- 40:07Speaker 1: immediately after on a ten ten am in Jacksonville as well,

- 40:15Speaker 1: You can get this show literally anywhere you want, which
- 40:19Speaker 1: is great news if you've missed the first run through here.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Um so we we promised offensive line the big name
- 40:28Speaker 1: we've discussed with Dave was Cam Robinson. And that's been
- 40:31Speaker 1: the big name of at least that group in camp
- 40:34Speaker 1: in my opinion, because it's the most Uh, it was
- 40:38Speaker 1: the position of most concern I think for this team. Um,
- 40:41Speaker 1: you didn't know really what kind of state Cam was
- 40:43Speaker 1: gonna be in, right. Um, there was the rumor Will
- 40:46Speaker 1: will Richardson and maybe competing with him, And it's not
- 40:49Speaker 1: a rumor anymore. As camp goes along, He's still there,
- 40:52Speaker 1: but it's Cam Robinson's gig. And from what you've seen
- 40:56Speaker 1: from Cam, it sounds like things are going very well
- 40:59Speaker 1: for Cam, him and training Cam well. I mean it's
- 41:02Speaker 1: still early, but I mean so far what I have
- 41:06Speaker 1: seen has been very good by him and and and
- 41:09Speaker 1: George Warhop kind of alluded to because he was asked
- 41:13Speaker 1: about the competition between Will Richson Jr. And Cam Robinson.
- 41:17Speaker 1: He basically said that right now that it's Cam's job
- 41:21Speaker 1: and uh, and I would say that he's dead on
- 41:25Speaker 1: and that Cam has been better than Will, not that
- 41:27Speaker 1: Will has been bad. I'm just giving the credit really
- 41:31Speaker 1: goes to Cam because I think he's taken big steps.
- 41:35Speaker 1: I think he he looks good, he looks in shape,
- 41:37Speaker 1: there's still times that the footwork falls back to a
- 41:41Speaker 1: little bit of bad habit, but you can really see
- 41:44Speaker 1: him working an individual and also some of the one
- 41:47Speaker 1: on ones of trying to make sure that that doesn't happen.
- 41:51Speaker 1: And so I think he's gotten better. And when I
- 41:54Speaker 1: said earlier with Gentleal manager Dave Caldwell that there was
- 41:58Speaker 1: that one on one drill where he shut down Josh
- 42:01Speaker 1: Allen twice, I met it. I'm talking about flat out
- 42:05Speaker 1: Josh Allen had nothing. He got stopped in his tracks
- 42:09Speaker 1: and it was two consecutive rushes and that was good
- 42:12Speaker 1: stuff because Josh had been doing so well and virtually
- 42:16Speaker 1: I don't want to say unstoppable, but at times it
- 42:19Speaker 1: appeared to be so against Cam and also against Jalan,
- 42:23Speaker 1: and so to see Cam bounce back, have clean feet,
- 42:26Speaker 1: have a good set, have his head up, have his
- 42:29Speaker 1: arms out and not be leaning one way or another,
- 42:31Speaker 1: I thought it was outstanding. And that's the kind of
- 42:34Speaker 1: progress that you expect out of a guy going into
- 42:37Speaker 1: his fourth year. You know, a lot of times we
- 42:38Speaker 1: sometimes forget that guys are allowed to improve from years
- 42:42Speaker 1: one to two and two to three, and then even
- 42:45Speaker 1: three to four and sometimes four or five. I mean
- 42:47Speaker 1: a player has not done that, he hasn't not allowed,
- 42:51Speaker 1: hasn't got done in evolving when he gets into year
- 42:53Speaker 1: three or four, he's still growing. Right, we want it
- 42:57Speaker 1: now though we wanted immediately. That's we are think right now.
- 43:02Speaker 1: I mean it. It's just like the whole thing with
- 43:07Speaker 1: UH With defensive lineman Tavin Brian, people want him to
- 43:10Speaker 1: be an impact guy. Well maybe it doesn't happen to
- 43:14Speaker 1: where he becomes an impact guy. But look, Tavin Bryan
- 43:17Speaker 1: still allowed to improve and maybe turn out to be
- 43:20Speaker 1: a really good, dominant football player for this team. You know. So,
- 43:24Speaker 1: Tyson Alla Walla, a lot of people bashed him for
- 43:27Speaker 1: many years because they felt like he was a reach. Well, oh,
- 43:31Speaker 1: by the way, Tyson still playing football, and he's still
- 43:34Speaker 1: playing really good football for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he's
- 43:37Speaker 1: in a scheme that's a perfect fit for him, you know. So,
- 43:41Speaker 1: So sometimes you just the expectations and draft position and
- 43:47Speaker 1: and all that just it doesn't marry with fans sometimes
- 43:51Speaker 1: and I get it, But sometimes you just have to
- 43:53Speaker 1: maybe sometimes take a step back and have a little
- 43:55Speaker 1: patience because some of these guys are developing very well.
- 43:58Speaker 1: And the best part about cam JP. First of all,
- 44:01Speaker 1: I know you love him because he went to the
- 44:02Speaker 1: University of Alabama. But the reason I love him is
- 44:06Speaker 1: because he might be one of the best run blocking
- 44:09Speaker 1: left tackles in the game of football. He's physical and
- 44:12Speaker 1: he finishes, and there's not a lot of left tackles
- 44:15Speaker 1: in the game that do that like he does. I
- 44:18Speaker 1: know he loves that. He loves that, the idea of
- 44:22Speaker 1: dominating the guy across from him and driving him into
- 44:25Speaker 1: the ground. He said that from the first day he
- 44:27Speaker 1: walked in that locker room here at t I a
- 44:29Speaker 1: a bank Field. Let's come back in a moment. We'll
- 44:32Speaker 1: get into that linebacker talk a little more. We touched
- 44:34Speaker 1: on it with Dave Caldwell, Joe Schobern now at middle linebacker,
- 44:38Speaker 1: Miles Jack to the outside. We'll see what Jeff thinks
- 44:41Speaker 1: about that move, at least early in camp. This is

- 48:10Speaker 1: with us on the Doug Moron Show on this Thursday afternoon.
- 48:13Speaker 1: Our thanks to Dave Caldwell, Jaguars general manager, for joining us.
- 48:17Speaker 1: The head coach got a schedule to join us again
- 48:20Speaker 1: next week and he'll join us every Thursday the arrest
- 48:23Speaker 1: of the season. We mentioned the linebackers there with Dave earlier.
- 48:27Speaker 1: Joe Schoulbert, the big edition and I think, you know, Logs,
- 48:30Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe you'll back me up, maybe you'll
- 48:32Speaker 1: agree with me or not. But Joe Shoulbert is a
- 48:36Speaker 1: big addition for this defense. Obviously he's the middle linebacker.
- 48:39Speaker 1: But I don't think he got the maybe the accolades
- 48:43Speaker 1: or the print coverage or the fanfare I guess would
- 48:48Speaker 1: be the best word that maybe he should have. He's
- 48:52Speaker 1: the starting middle linebacker. He's been in this league and
- 48:55Speaker 1: he's a huge piece of what this defense is going
- 48:57Speaker 1: to do right right, and uh, you know, to be
- 49:01Speaker 1: honest with the JP, I I know that he had
- 49:03Speaker 1: some great years with Cleveland, and as I said earlier,
- 49:08Speaker 1: he was one of Greg Williams favorite guys to coach,
- 49:12Speaker 1: you know, but I thought last year there were times
- 49:14Speaker 1: that he didn't play great for the Cleveland Browns. But
- 49:16Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns last year were a mess, and sometimes
- 49:19Speaker 1: when a team is a mess, it's hard for players
- 49:21Speaker 1: to have great performances. But he clearly has some talent.
- 49:24Speaker 1: And uh, and so far, everybody seems to be on
- 49:27Speaker 1: the same page defensively, and that's a good sign. You know,
- 49:30Speaker 1: Pause was so good at that and sometimes when you
- 49:33Speaker 1: keep going back to that name, and there's a reason
- 49:37Speaker 1: because pause was was the standard and is the standard
- 49:40Speaker 1: I think for linebacking in Jacksonville, particularly when you're talking
- 49:43Speaker 1: about that mic linebacking position. He was an outstanding leader.
- 49:47Speaker 1: He did a great job of communicating and his performance
- 49:50Speaker 1: really spoke I think volumes for the type of player
- 49:53Speaker 1: that he was. So if you can get a guy
- 49:56Speaker 1: like that again, and if if that is Joe Scholberg,
- 49:59Speaker 1: you've done an amazing job from a personnel standpoint. But
- 50:02Speaker 1: it's very hard to evaluate linebackers in camp because things
- 50:07Speaker 1: aren't live. So you think they're in position, but you're like, okay, well,
- 50:11Speaker 1: what would really happen at the offensive lineman were really
- 50:15Speaker 1: finishing him, or if a linebacker we're you know, we're
- 50:19Speaker 1: running back was cutting him before he could get to
- 50:22Speaker 1: the play. So, I mean, there's a lot of things
- 50:24Speaker 1: you don't know. It needs to be live in my
- 50:26Speaker 1: opinion of value. But it appears and it seems things
- 50:29Speaker 1: are running smoothly as a defense, So that's a positive side,
- 50:32Speaker 1: and obviously that's a big impact on Miles Jack. I
- 50:34Speaker 1: said from the very good go when I was watching
- 50:37Speaker 1: Miles Jack and watching this film that I thought he
- 50:39Speaker 1: should be a week side linebacker, but the Jaguars at
- 50:41Speaker 1: the time had the talented Telvin Smith, so you didn't
- 50:45Speaker 1: really need anybody that could run like uh at that
- 50:48Speaker 1: will position because you already had one, and so Miles
- 50:51Speaker 1: Jack kind of was a bonus. And it appears that
- 50:53Speaker 1: Miles has is slim, he looks toned, which over the
- 50:58Speaker 1: last two years. I don't know if you could say
- 50:59Speaker 1: that out about Miles Jack. I think he's still a
- 51:02Speaker 1: young player, and that falls under the category Look, he's young,
- 51:04Speaker 1: he's still learning, learning to be a pro. He can
- 51:07Speaker 1: get better, he can grow, and it appears that he
- 51:09Speaker 1: has because Miles, to me physically looks as fit as
- 51:12Speaker 1: he's ever been since he's been with the Jaguars. So
- 51:16Speaker 1: positive sign there, and I think it really it's a
- 51:18Speaker 1: natural fit for Miles to play that week side position,
- 51:21Speaker 1: but they're still there's still in an adjustment period. But
- 51:24Speaker 1: I think one thing that should help Miles is that
- 51:27Speaker 1: he's played both of the other positions in this defense
- 51:30Speaker 1: under the same coordinator, So it should give him a
- 51:33Speaker 1: tremendous benefit of learning the weak side position because he's
- 51:37Speaker 1: already played the other two. Well, you said he's slim
- 51:42Speaker 1: now Telvin was slim. Now slim for miles is a
- 51:45Speaker 1: little different than Telvin slim. But I know was skinny right,
- 51:50Speaker 1: exactly so, but slimmer for miles standards, which is a
- 51:54Speaker 1: good sign. Let's come back. One is correct well. Preview

- 56:21Speaker 1: with Jeff Lagerman. We're two weeks away from from opening
- 56:25Speaker 1: day logs, so Saturday's scrimmage, it sounds like, you know,
- 56:30Speaker 1: there'll be some some individual drills, but then they're gonna
- 56:33Speaker 1: do the leven On leven situational things and we're gonna
- 56:36Speaker 1: have logs some of that shown on Jaguars dot Com.
- 56:41Speaker 1: Letting the cat out of the bag right now, we
- 56:44Speaker 1: can't show any of the team stuff. We're gonna show
- 56:47Speaker 1: you some individual stuff, the scrimmage, that's right, So a
- 56:51Speaker 1: little the individual stuff and the first chance for a
- 56:54Speaker 1: lot of folks to see some of the Jaguars in action.
- 56:56Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to Saturday. Yeah, me too. And
- 57:00Speaker 1: and and you know when we use the word scrimmage,
- 57:02Speaker 1: but essentially it's going to be practice. And and JP.
- 57:06Speaker 1: Did you see the news that just broke with the
- 57:09Speaker 1: NFL and the nfl p A issuing a joint statement.
- 57:14Speaker 1: I did not. Let's hear it. Uh. This was just
- 57:18Speaker 1: released by the NFL and the NFL Players Association. It
- 57:21Speaker 1: reads as follows. The NFL community is united more than
- 57:25Speaker 1: ever to support one another in these challenging times. We
- 57:29Speaker 1: share anger and frustration, most recently as a result of
- 57:32Speaker 1: the shooting of Jacob Blake. While our passions continue to
- 57:35Speaker 1: run high. We are proud that our players and clubs, league,
- 57:38Speaker 1: and union are taking time to have the difficult conversations
- 57:41Speaker 1: about these issues that affect the black community and other
- 57:44Speaker 1: communities of color in America. We are especially encouraged that
- 57:48Speaker 1: these conversations are about how we can come together to
- 57:51Speaker 1: make the necessary and long overdue changes in our country.
- 57:54Speaker 1: We will continue to not only use our collective platform
- 57:58Speaker 1: to call out racism and injustice whenever and wherever it
- 58:01Speaker 1: occurs in our country, but also fight together to eradicate it.
- 58:06Speaker 1: End quote. All right, how about that? So a statement
- 58:09Speaker 1: from the league and the players Association, And I guess
- 58:13Speaker 1: you could. It's great that they're working together on a
- 58:16Speaker 1: statement like that, But with so much that happened around
- 58:19Speaker 1: the league the last day or two, with some teams
- 58:22Speaker 1: opting to not practice or voting to practice narrowly, UM,
- 58:27Speaker 1: to have that support from the league as a whole,
- 58:29Speaker 1: it's important for these players, no doubt. Well it certainly is,
- 58:33Speaker 1: because you know, a couple of years ago, you didn't
- 58:35Speaker 1: see that support, you know, so UM, players felt like
- 58:39Speaker 1: they were a little bit out on an island. And uh,
- 58:41Speaker 1: and I think now that the players don't necessarily feel
- 58:45Speaker 1: that way, So I think that's a positive thing. And uh,
- 58:48Speaker 1: you know, once again, I just want to reiterate that,
- 58:50Speaker 1: you know, with a lot of this conversation that we're having,
- 58:53Speaker 1: and I mentioned earlier in the show that we did that,
- 58:56Speaker 1: I just want to send a thought out and and
- 59:00Speaker 1: prayers and thoughts go with the people that have been
- 59:02Speaker 1: affected by Hurricane Laura, because a lot of that conversation
- 59:06Speaker 1: has been pushed to the back burner a little bit.
- 59:08Speaker 1: So the folks that are living in Louisiana and Texas
- 59:11Speaker 1: and parts north of their where they they had a
- 59:14Speaker 1: big one come through there, now, JP, they certainly did.
- 59:18Speaker 1: We know all about that in the snack of the
- 59:20Speaker 1: woods as well, Logs, great stuff. We'll talk to you
- 59:22Speaker 1: again next week, all right, JP enjoyed it. Jeff Logavan,
- 59:29Speaker 1: Jaguars analyst. Their thanks to GM Dave Caldwell sitting in
