- 0:24Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours presented by the C s I Companies
- 0:28Speaker 1: and now founding member of the John Cina Fan Club,
- 0:33Speaker 1: Ashlands Sullivan. I was so scared when he was going
- 0:38Speaker 1: to say the entire day for that intro is this
- 0:40Speaker 1: how JP does this servius all day long? What he's
- 0:43Speaker 1: going to say? Joe always has something to kind of
- 0:46Speaker 1: get JPS got a little bit, but I was kind
- 0:49Speaker 1: of kind of wondering, there, Joe, you forget how to
- 0:51Speaker 1: push the buttons. We had a we had a we
- 0:54Speaker 1: had a rehearsal before he actually did the real world
- 0:57Speaker 1: with some practice, right, Nothing wrong with that. Yo're just
- 1:00Speaker 1: saying he's always trying to get I want to say embarrassed.
- 1:05Speaker 1: But he's trying to have a little bit of fun
- 1:07Speaker 1: with JP, and so we gotta have a little fun back. Yep.
- 1:09Speaker 1: It's only fair. It's only fair. You're going to regret this, Okay.
- 1:14Speaker 1: The man has the power to turn my my golf,
- 1:16Speaker 1: Yes he does, don't test him. Welcome in Jaguars Happy
- 1:20Speaker 1: Are this fine program? And yes this is not JP
- 1:22Speaker 1: Shaddick Ashland Sullivan and for JP, O well, deserved week
- 1:25Speaker 1: of vacation for him. If you have not heard, the
- 1:27Speaker 1: Jaguars have announced Trent Bulky as the new general manager
- 1:31Speaker 1: of the Jaguars today. So we have all of that
- 1:34Speaker 1: in more coming up on this fine program, as well
- 1:37Speaker 1: as John Osier starting off the show with us, and John,
- 1:40Speaker 1: I will go to you first. You were listening intensely
- 1:43Speaker 1: through that press conference, So what was your reaction, Trent Bulky,
- 1:47Speaker 1: urban Meyer check it off the list, general manager, head
- 1:50Speaker 1: coach done. First of all, Hello Jeff, Hello Ashland. Jeff,
- 1:54Speaker 1: havn't been studio with you in a long time. Good
- 1:56Speaker 1: to see you again. Um, kind of see you're right, well,
- 2:01Speaker 1: kind of right virtually. Um. I think anybody who watched
- 2:05Speaker 1: the presser, it was an unsurprising main theme and the
- 2:10Speaker 1: word of the day was alignment, and over and over again.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Even when they were asked other things, they all came
- 2:17Speaker 1: back to this is alignment. When urban Meyer was asked
- 2:20Speaker 1: about the importance of Trent having NFL experience, he gave
- 2:25Speaker 1: a very quick sentence and then he said, but none
- 2:28Speaker 1: of this works if we're not aligned. So it's clear
- 2:31Speaker 1: that shot cons shod CON's message that this is a
- 2:35Speaker 1: partnership between GM and head coach and they're working together. Transparency,
- 2:40Speaker 1: all those buzzwords. You know, I think it's fool as
- 2:44Speaker 1: to think that urban Meyer is not going to have
- 2:46Speaker 1: major say in personnel. That's always how this works. But
- 2:50Speaker 1: it is a partnership in a relationship that is going
- 2:53Speaker 1: to be symbiotic. Whatever buzzword you used, that's what I
- 2:56Speaker 1: took from it most of all, Jeff, I think I'll
- 2:59Speaker 1: show that even though urban Meyer is expected to have
- 3:02Speaker 1: a pretty big voice and the personnel, you also have
- 3:04Speaker 1: to know what you don't know. And and I think
- 3:07Speaker 1: that that will happen in this case because Trent Balky
- 3:10Speaker 1: obviously has a vast amount of experience in personnel, whereas
- 3:15Speaker 1: urban Meyer has typically done it from a recruiting standpoint.
- 3:20Speaker 1: And so if you're urban Meyer, you've got to have
- 3:22Speaker 1: people number one that you can trust the number two
- 3:24Speaker 1: that you believe in. And so I think it's I
- 3:27Speaker 1: think it's great. I mean, you've got to be aligned,
- 3:28Speaker 1: and I mean, I hate to say this, but I
- 3:31Speaker 1: don't think that there was alignment here in the past.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I really don't. And and uh, for whatever reason, sometimes
- 3:38Speaker 1: general manager might think that things should go a certain
- 3:40Speaker 1: way and and coaches are expecting things to go another way.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And if if you're not on the same page, you've
- 3:46Speaker 1: got no chance of success. And so I like to
- 3:49Speaker 1: hear that word alignment and that everybody trying to work
- 3:52Speaker 1: towards a common goal, because if if you have a
- 3:54Speaker 1: general manager and a coach that are on the same page,
- 3:56Speaker 1: you've got no chance. And and Trent Balky alluded to that,
- 3:59Speaker 1: uh and and I don't think he was very specifically
- 4:02Speaker 1: talking about it, John and and Ashland from a from
- 4:05Speaker 1: a from an alignment standpoint and lack of alignment standpoint,
- 4:08Speaker 1: But he said out of the thirty two teams in
- 4:10Speaker 1: the National Football League, or twenty eight of them don't
- 4:14Speaker 1: have a chance because they're they're not aligned, and uh
- 4:17Speaker 1: and I don't think he used that exact word, but
- 4:19Speaker 1: he said teams don't have a chance from the very
- 4:22Speaker 1: get go, and I believe that he was referring to
- 4:25Speaker 1: the lack of alignment, et cetera. So I don't know. Yes,
- 4:28Speaker 1: he did say shoot themselves in the foot before the
- 4:30Speaker 1: season even gets started, and I think we all can
- 4:32Speaker 1: read between the lines on what exactly that means. So
- 4:35Speaker 1: you mentioned that chain of command. What does it look like?
- 4:39Speaker 1: Trent Fulky was asked about that both of them reporting
- 4:41Speaker 1: to directly to shod Compilet's hear what this partnership is
- 4:44Speaker 1: going to look like. I'm a resource for coach. That's
- 4:47Speaker 1: what the way I look at it. I provide a
- 4:50Speaker 1: service where he can come in, he can bounce things
- 4:53Speaker 1: off of me. Uh question there, because there's gonna be
- 4:56Speaker 1: a lot of questions. There's gonna be a lot of
- 4:58Speaker 1: things that are going to be first time for him.
- 5:00Speaker 1: But in the short time I've been with him, the
- 5:03Speaker 1: one thing I realized he's a quick study. It's not
- 5:05Speaker 1: gonna take him long to figure the rules out and
- 5:08Speaker 1: everything that goes with it. And he certainly as a coach,
- 5:13Speaker 1: you know, he knows his way around the practice field
- 5:16Speaker 1: very well. Urban Meyers did mention that he has spent
- 5:21Speaker 1: tiresly amounts of time with Trent Paulki these past few days.
- 5:24Speaker 1: They have seen a lot of each other and John,
- 5:26Speaker 1: I'll go to you. It's kind of it's different. This
- 5:28Speaker 1: year has been different. But that was the first time
- 5:30Speaker 1: I've seen Trent Bulky heard from trump Bulky. He's been
- 5:33Speaker 1: here almost a year and that's the first time we've
- 5:36Speaker 1: seen him because of COVID, So it was kind of
- 5:37Speaker 1: our introductory press conference, even though he's been here a while. Well,
- 5:43Speaker 1: it's certainly an unusual situation. You know, people covering the
- 5:47Speaker 1: league this year have been covering people that they've never
- 5:50Speaker 1: met face to face, which has never happened. Jeff can
- 5:52Speaker 1: speak to that. He was a player in the league
- 5:53Speaker 1: for a long time. I've you know, the takeaway, the
- 5:59Speaker 1: big one is the Trent Bawkey and urban Meyer are
- 6:02Speaker 1: a line. But I think it's also important to realize
- 6:06Speaker 1: Trent Balky's reputation is as a guy who stands firm
- 6:09Speaker 1: in his own decisions. He is a guy who with
- 6:13Speaker 1: twenty years of experience in this league. He's been a
- 6:16Speaker 1: general manager for six years, been't really covering the show.
- 6:18Speaker 1: He was general manager of a team that went to
- 6:20Speaker 1: the to the NFC Championship Game three times. He picked
- 6:24Speaker 1: players he has insight that urban Meyer needs. This is
- 6:30Speaker 1: not a one way street. Although Trent said, hey, I'm
- 6:32Speaker 1: here to be a resource, he's more than just a resource.
- 6:36Speaker 1: His voice matters very much in this triangle that they
- 6:39Speaker 1: talk about Shod Khan, Trent Balky and Urban Meyer. Trent
- 6:44Speaker 1: Balky is a third of that for a reason, he's experienced,
- 6:48Speaker 1: and I believe ready for the job. Six years experiences
- 6:50Speaker 1: at GM, you're ready for your next opportunity in that situation,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and I think it's too. It's also incredibly important with
- 7:00Speaker 1: with the hiring of urban Meyer, who doesn't have NFL experience,
- 7:04Speaker 1: to have other experience around him, and I think the
- 7:08Speaker 1: general manager position is is critical for that and somebody
- 7:11Speaker 1: that's been there and done that. And obviously the landscape
- 7:14Speaker 1: has changed a little bit since he was a general manager,
- 7:17Speaker 1: but I know that he's followed it very well and
- 7:19Speaker 1: and he's I'm sure able to adapt and adjust. But
- 7:22Speaker 1: but to have a first time head coach in the
- 7:25Speaker 1: National Football League with the with the general manager that
- 7:27Speaker 1: has experienced and high level experience, who has taken teams
- 7:31Speaker 1: to a super Bowl, championship, etcetera, I think it's critical
- 7:35Speaker 1: and I think it's it's a smart move by all
- 7:37Speaker 1: And I don't know exactly ultimately who was responsible, and
- 7:40Speaker 1: you would think that it was Shot Khan's decision, but
- 7:43Speaker 1: obviously with a lot of influence from from urban Meyer,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and that's the way it should be. And I think
- 7:48Speaker 1: that the experience are surrounding a first time NFL coach
- 7:52Speaker 1: with experience is probably not going to stop there. It's
- 7:55Speaker 1: probably gonna be a little bit more with his own
- 7:58Speaker 1: staff and and it will be also interesting to see
- 8:02Speaker 1: who Trent Baky surrounds himself with, because change is gonna come.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Change is coming within the personnel department because and some
- 8:11Speaker 1: of it already says happened. He's already brought one guy
- 8:14Speaker 1: on that he trusts immenseally, and and I'm sure that
- 8:16Speaker 1: there will be some adjustments at the staff as as
- 8:19Speaker 1: as the off season rolls along. Oh, yes, change is near.
- 8:22Speaker 1: And one of the biggest things that will pay attention
- 8:24Speaker 1: to this offseason is obviously the NFL Draft. Eleven draft picks,
- 8:28Speaker 1: you have five in the first three rounds. So, Trent Bulky,
- 8:31Speaker 1: what is the outlook of the NFL draft this year?
- 8:33Speaker 1: We're always going to look at the value of a player. Uh,
- 8:36Speaker 1: and value matters that it matters in in where in
- 8:42Speaker 1: their value is to where you draft them, how much
- 8:44Speaker 1: you pay them, how much you pay them in free agency? Uh.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Need Uh, We're We're a value based team, not a
- 8:53Speaker 1: needs based Well, you always have needs regardless of when
- 8:57Speaker 1: you set the fifty three. So the best player available
- 9:01Speaker 1: is usually the direction you want to go, but yet
- 9:04Speaker 1: you have to keep in mind the needs of the
- 9:05Speaker 1: organization as well and the team. Yeah, alright, Jeff, I
- 9:10Speaker 1: know you love the best player available. That's something good
- 9:12Speaker 1: to hear. Well. I think I've always been the best
- 9:15Speaker 1: available player type guy. I think because when you when
- 9:19Speaker 1: you start going after needs, you have a Tennessee to
- 9:21Speaker 1: start to reach and you start to adjust your board
- 9:24Speaker 1: based on on well, we need a right cornerback or
- 9:28Speaker 1: we need a left safety. And I'm making terms up
- 9:30Speaker 1: because I don't want to pinpoint anybody. And we need
- 9:32Speaker 1: a new Ozone writer. You know you know what I mean.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I mean, you can't. You're just kidding, Johnny, Just kidding, Johnny,
- 9:38Speaker 1: just kidding. But my point is is that I think
- 9:41Speaker 1: if you go back and you look at the history
- 9:43Speaker 1: of the draft and you wonder how this franchise could
- 9:45Speaker 1: be different if they had taken some of the best
- 9:47Speaker 1: available players and not by reaching for need, I think
- 9:50Speaker 1: that the the history of this franchise would be vastly different.
- 9:55Speaker 1: And uh and John, But there are certain positions that
- 9:58Speaker 1: are premium positions that a lot of people say, well,
- 10:01Speaker 1: you're you're reaching for that position. I'm not a big believer,
- 10:04Speaker 1: and that's saying that that's a reach for certain positions
- 10:06Speaker 1: because the position certainly has Some positions have a premium
- 10:09Speaker 1: attached to it, which makes them more valuable from the
- 10:12Speaker 1: very get go. I've always said, Jeff, there's not a
- 10:17Speaker 1: lot of gms walking around the NFL during training camp
- 10:21Speaker 1: and looking at their roster and saying, man, we have
- 10:23Speaker 1: too many good players. And the point being there is
- 10:28Speaker 1: if you sit there in the draft said what we
- 10:29Speaker 1: need here, we need here, we need you. If if
- 10:33Speaker 1: you quote mess up and draft an elite guy at
- 10:37Speaker 1: linebacker behind another elite guy linebacker, you know what You've got, Jeff,
- 10:40Speaker 1: two elite players. So I'm all best available. I think
- 10:44Speaker 1: it always works. There are times you have to do
- 10:46Speaker 1: certain things in the draft where if guys are close,
- 10:49Speaker 1: then yeah, you go with a certain position. But uh,
- 10:53Speaker 1: your news flash. Right now, this team doesn't have too
- 10:56Speaker 1: many elite players. It's gonna be easy for them to
- 10:59Speaker 1: go best available, best available very early. And I'm looking
- 11:02Speaker 1: forward to seeing how they do it because I think
- 11:05Speaker 1: a big theme right now is Urban may never have
- 11:09Speaker 1: been in the NFL, but he knows exactly what he
- 11:11Speaker 1: wants competitiveness, speed. I think it's been really easy for
- 11:17Speaker 1: Balky and the scouting staff to trent him, to scout
- 11:20Speaker 1: for him because he's gonna be very clear in what
- 11:23Speaker 1: he wants and what it's gonna take for him to win. Yeah.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Just only add one thing is that because John was
- 11:29Speaker 1: talking about, ok if you have equal values, then you
- 11:31Speaker 1: take need. I believe that in you don't do that
- 11:35Speaker 1: until you get to a certain round. I think that
- 11:38Speaker 1: you take best available player regardless, and rounds one, two,
- 11:42Speaker 1: and three, that's typically where you get your premium position.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I think when you start to get two rounds five, six, seven, Okay, look,
- 11:50Speaker 1: if there is a position that you need and you've
- 11:54Speaker 1: got equal values, then you then you take the position
- 11:56Speaker 1: of need. But I think you get on a slippery
- 11:59Speaker 1: slope when you start saying, well, you know, we we
- 12:02Speaker 1: really need this position these guys. You know, this guy
- 12:04Speaker 1: only has maybe two tents of a point higher grade
- 12:07Speaker 1: than this other guy, so let's take him because he's
- 12:10Speaker 1: he plays right tackle. We need a right tackle. I
- 12:13Speaker 1: think that's where you get caught up and you make
- 12:14Speaker 1: mistakes because even though two tenses is not much you
- 12:18Speaker 1: don't think, but you know what two tents might be
- 12:20Speaker 1: the difference between being a tenure player and a guy
- 12:23Speaker 1: who lasts, you know, for a biscuit and a cup
- 12:25Speaker 1: of coffee, you know, so, uh, it can make a
- 12:28Speaker 1: big difference. In my opinion, I don't want a biscuit
- 12:31Speaker 1: and a cup of coffee, that's for sure. Eleven draft
- 12:33Speaker 1: picks coming up. Want to get all of these right.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Coming up in this offseason, there's still a coaching search
- 12:38Speaker 1: going on building this coaching staff. We've seen reports, we
- 12:41Speaker 1: haven't gotten any final answer, so we'll talk about that

- 16:45Speaker 1: the general manager myself, we have the support that vision
- 16:49Speaker 1: and somehow, some way that had been lost and the
- 16:52Speaker 1: idea here is really more about transparency, collaboration, teamwork, and accountability.
- 16:59Speaker 1: I've talked to Urban about, um, you know, our general
- 17:03Speaker 1: manager who it ought to be and I you know,
- 17:05Speaker 1: and we're working together on it. I hope, uh, you know,
- 17:09Speaker 1: we'll have an announcement or something in the next week
- 17:12Speaker 1: or so. But the object is gonna be that, you know,
- 17:16Speaker 1: and and I shared this with Urban. He's on board,
- 17:19Speaker 1: both of them. You know, it will be reporting to me,
- 17:21Speaker 1: but everybody in the organization. I mean, we're gonna be,
- 17:25Speaker 1: you know, carrying out obviously Urban's vision of the team
- 17:29Speaker 1: and the kind of players we want. Who ought to
- 17:32Speaker 1: be is general manager. Trent Bulky announced today as the
- 17:36Speaker 1: Jaguars new general manager, and that was owner's shot com

- 17:56Speaker 1: and there are all kinds of interviews, all kinds of
- 17:59Speaker 1: reports going on. So let's look at offense first. For
- 18:02Speaker 1: some reason, these names are much less reported than defense.
- 18:06Speaker 1: But you have Scotland Ahan, Anthony Lynn, hence the question mark,
- 18:10Speaker 1: and next offensive coordinator? How do you figure this out?
- 18:13Speaker 1: There's also reports that George Warhop will stay on as
- 18:17Speaker 1: offensive line coach. But Jeff, I'll go to you first, say,
- 18:20Speaker 1: in a perfect world, do you get Anthony Lynn and
- 18:22Speaker 1: Scotland Ahn in who's the O C? How does that work? Uh? Well,
- 18:27Speaker 1: I think it's a great question. But a lot of
- 18:31Speaker 1: times I think a coach will give you a little
- 18:33Speaker 1: bit of coach speak with an answer like that and
- 18:35Speaker 1: say that, hey, look it's a collaboration. It's gonna be
- 18:38Speaker 1: me the head coach. Uh, Scotland Ahan and Anthony Lynn.
- 18:43Speaker 1: So I think that there has to be one person
- 18:47Speaker 1: that has the final say, and there has to be
- 18:49Speaker 1: somebody that is calling the plays. But I think also
- 18:53Speaker 1: it's very important that you get as much talent as
- 18:55Speaker 1: you possibly can. And and I understand that there's a
- 18:58Speaker 1: great relationship with Scott Lanahan there. Scott Lanahan has kind
- 19:02Speaker 1: of been down the road as far as looking for
- 19:04Speaker 1: that next step. And I think if you're urban Meyer,
- 19:08Speaker 1: the one thing that you'd like to be able to do,
- 19:09Speaker 1: because you're probably gonna be drafting a young quarterback Trevor Lawrence,
- 19:14Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you can have consistency
- 19:16Speaker 1: there on the offensive side of the ball. Uh. So
- 19:20Speaker 1: my expectation is it would be somebody that would be
- 19:22Speaker 1: less apt to leave to take that next opportunity as
- 19:26Speaker 1: a head coach. And I think Anthony Lenna has had
- 19:28Speaker 1: a taste of that, so but I mean, I don't know,
- 19:30Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but uh, it'll be interesting to watch.
- 19:34Speaker 1: But you've got to have somebody that you can expect
- 19:36Speaker 1: to have for more than just a short amount of time.
- 19:40Speaker 1: You've got to have some consistency at that position with
- 19:42Speaker 1: the young quarterback, right, want to build that. And John,
- 19:45Speaker 1: we've been talking about this the past couple of days.
- 19:47Speaker 1: For some reason, there's this, I guess you can call
- 19:49Speaker 1: it a rumor that urban Meyer only wants college coaches
- 19:53Speaker 1: around him or experience with college And we take a
- 19:55Speaker 1: look at these lists and that's not the case, so
- 19:57Speaker 1: we're not really sure where that's coming from, but it's
- 19:59Speaker 1: clear he wants NFL experience around him. The guy knows
- 20:03Speaker 1: what he's doing here. Well, it kind of goes without saying.
- 20:08Speaker 1: You don't win three college national championships if you're not
- 20:11Speaker 1: a smart guy. He's smart enough to know that he
- 20:15Speaker 1: needs experience around him in the NFL as he makes
- 20:18Speaker 1: this transition Scott lenahand makes a lot of sense. As
- 20:21Speaker 1: Jeff alluded to when Urban was at Bowling Green, I
- 20:25Speaker 1: think getting the dates right in two thousand one when
- 20:28Speaker 1: he was making the transition, it actually scratched that was
- 20:32Speaker 1: before that as an assistant when he was figuring out
- 20:34Speaker 1: the spread. He visited with Scott Linehan when Lenahan was
- 20:38Speaker 1: at Louisville, so there is a strong connection there. Lenahan
- 20:43Speaker 1: also has a world of NFL experience. He's been a
- 20:46Speaker 1: head coach. He's obviously not gonna be a head coach here,
- 20:49Speaker 1: so he has that experience. He knows what a coordinator does.
- 20:52Speaker 1: He's got a NFL experience. To me, that one makes
- 20:54Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Anthony Lynn makes sense for the
- 20:56Speaker 1: same reason. But those are the reasons that you're seeing
- 20:58Speaker 1: those names the experienced level of Lynn. But the Lenahan
- 21:03Speaker 1: Meyer connection is a very solid, very real thing. But
- 21:06Speaker 1: to your question, Ashlyn, he absolutely knows he needs NFL experience.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I expect more coaches on this staff to have NFL
- 21:15Speaker 1: experience than not. That's just a guess, but that's what
- 21:18Speaker 1: it feels like. I think a lot of people would
- 21:20Speaker 1: would ask two or might suggest, Okay, well, well, Anthony
- 21:24Speaker 1: Lynn can help urban Meyer be a head coach in
- 21:26Speaker 1: the NFL. Because Anthony Lynn has been a head coach before,
- 21:31Speaker 1: Irban Meyer doesn't need any helping and head coach, Okay,
- 21:34Speaker 1: urban Byer, he's okay, he's qualified in that category. I
- 21:38Speaker 1: don't care if it's college or if it's the pro game.
- 21:41Speaker 1: The head coach that that doesn't change much. Obviously the
- 21:44Speaker 1: game is a little bit different and there's some some nuances.
- 21:48Speaker 1: But if you know how to head coach, you know
- 21:49Speaker 1: how to head coach at any level. You can coach
- 21:51Speaker 1: Pee wee, you can coach NFL, you can go to college,
- 21:53Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Yeah, I think he's good there, to
- 21:56Speaker 1: say the least. And Johnny could interesting, well, he could
- 22:00Speaker 1: even coach that team that you have over your right
- 22:02Speaker 1: shoulders that a football team, by the way, the Jacksonville Sharks,
- 22:04Speaker 1: and not an arena team. It was a WFL team
- 22:09Speaker 1: back when we were kids. Jeff, I was gonna say
- 22:11Speaker 1: when I was a kid, but don't kid yourself. You're
- 22:14Speaker 1: as old as I am. So it was back in
- 22:17Speaker 1: the WUFL, the Jacksonville Sharks and Jacksonville Express back to
- 22:21Speaker 1: back seventy four and seventy five. A point on what
- 22:24Speaker 1: you were making. Jeff urban Meyer has been a head
- 22:26Speaker 1: coach for seventeen years. If you add up the head
- 22:30Speaker 1: coaching experience of all the coaches who have ever been
- 22:34Speaker 1: Jaguar's head coaches, that's more and any of them had
- 22:38Speaker 1: put together. Now, Doug Marone had been a head coach
- 22:41Speaker 1: in the NFL. But I agree with you, Jeff. If
- 22:45Speaker 1: you can coach, lead, set a tone, you can do
- 22:49Speaker 1: it at any level. The nuances of the game, learning
- 22:52Speaker 1: the schemes, learning how this league works. That'll be a
- 22:56Speaker 1: study for ban Meyer. But seventeen years of experience, he
- 23:00Speaker 1: can lead men, he can lead an organization. And a
- 23:04Speaker 1: lot lot of people say, well, there's been other college
- 23:06Speaker 1: coaches that have moved on to the NFL and they
- 23:08Speaker 1: didn't have success. Well, Look, you gotta have good players too. Okay,
- 23:14Speaker 1: coaching matters. You've got to have good coaches, then you
- 23:16Speaker 1: also have to have good players. When you put the
- 23:18Speaker 1: two of them together, you've got a great chance. And
- 23:21Speaker 1: that's where Trent Balky is so very important to the
- 23:24Speaker 1: success of this this football organization and Urban Meyer. You
- 23:27Speaker 1: gotta have you gotta have everybody working together and be
- 23:30Speaker 1: able to have the right tools to be able to win.
- 23:31Speaker 1: If you don't have the right tools, you're not gonna win.
- 23:33Speaker 1: You have the greatest coach in the world. And if
- 23:36Speaker 1: you don't have the players in the NFL, you're you're
- 23:38Speaker 1: gonna be okay, but you're not gonna be the contender.
- 23:43Speaker 1: You just it's just the reality. You gotta have got
- 23:45Speaker 1: a players, got to have tools in the toolbox. I
- 23:48Speaker 1: don't know who said that, but I've heard it before.
- 23:50Speaker 1: All right, let's look at defense. Joe Colin is reported
- 23:53Speaker 1: to be the defensive coordinator for the Jaguars. Were hearing
- 23:56Speaker 1: his name thrown out all over there along with these
- 23:58Speaker 1: names that you're seeing right now. So John, tell me
- 24:01Speaker 1: why Joe Colin is the clear favorite for this and
- 24:04Speaker 1: why he would fit the job as defensive coordinator reportedly
- 24:08Speaker 1: of course. Oh, I know Jeff has a lot of
- 24:11Speaker 1: thoughts too, And Jeff knew uh Joe for three years,
- 24:14Speaker 1: probably n him a little bit better than I did.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I knew Joe for two years when I first got
- 24:19Speaker 1: back to Jacksonville. Why would he be a coordinator? Because
- 24:23Speaker 1: he knows football, He's an incredible motivator. He's incredibly well
- 24:27Speaker 1: respected within the NFL. There is a great relationship between
- 24:31Speaker 1: he and Urban Meyer that goes back a long way. Uh,
- 24:34Speaker 1: you know, I'm biased, and I think everybody is who
- 24:38Speaker 1: knows Joe Aston. You haven't met him, but Jeff can
- 24:40Speaker 1: attest to this a fantastic, first rate human being. When
- 24:45Speaker 1: you get a guy like this in your building, you're
- 24:48Speaker 1: better for it, no matter what role it is. As
- 24:52Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, he's never been that before, but he has
- 24:54Speaker 1: been one of the best line coaches he's been in Baltimore.
- 24:57Speaker 1: He is ready for this job. If he gets that,
- 25:00Speaker 1: I have no doubt that he's a major impact, and
- 25:03Speaker 1: you got to make sure that we I gotta correct you, John,
- 25:06Speaker 1: he doesn't coach defensive line. He coaches rushman. Okay, he's
- 25:11Speaker 1: changed the term. I mean, Joe Collin changed the term
- 25:14Speaker 1: he likes to call him Rushman. And uh and and
- 25:17Speaker 1: John is dead on the money. Joe Colin is a
- 25:20Speaker 1: is a eight number one, top notch guy. He's never
- 25:22Speaker 1: been a defensive coordinator before. But you also, if you
- 25:26Speaker 1: looked at that list of names, there's some names on
- 25:28Speaker 1: there that have been defensive coordinators before. Anthony Weaver, Charlie
- 25:31Speaker 1: Strong obviously has an immense amount of experience. And so
- 25:36Speaker 1: once again, it's title sometimes don't mean everything. I mean, obviously,
- 25:40Speaker 1: somebody ultimately has to have to say. But when you
- 25:42Speaker 1: get a bunch of bright minds together, then you have
- 25:45Speaker 1: a great chance. And and Joe Colin is a is
- 25:48Speaker 1: a super sharp guy, quality guy. Love him and uh.
- 25:53Speaker 1: In fact, when I heard that there was a rumor
- 25:56Speaker 1: or there was a whisper in the news media that
- 25:58Speaker 1: he may be interviewing, I was texting him right away.
- 26:01Speaker 1: I said, Joe, come on back to Jacksonville. Good dude,
- 26:04Speaker 1: gave him outfit tips all of that. What am I hearing? John?
- 26:06Speaker 1: I guess you can attest this to you. I've heard
- 26:08Speaker 1: of practice. Might get a little loud if he joins in,
- 26:11Speaker 1: he's pretty loud. Yeah, Joe's pretty loud, and we'll probably
- 26:16Speaker 1: get the dirt pitt back. Remember the dirt pit, Jeff,
- 26:18Speaker 1: where you probably knew more about than I did. But
- 26:22Speaker 1: he's got certain drills, and he's got a drill or
- 26:25Speaker 1: the offensive linemen have to get down. It could be
- 26:27Speaker 1: at a certain level. Jeff can attest to it more
- 26:29Speaker 1: than me. But yeah, I read something about Joe a
- 26:32Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and I didn't think of it,
- 26:35Speaker 1: and I wish I had. When you watch Joe Colin coach,
- 26:38Speaker 1: he's one of the few coaches where other position groups
- 26:41Speaker 1: stop and watch him coach because he's so good at
- 26:45Speaker 1: it and so dynamic. I again, Jeff, and you and
- 26:49Speaker 1: I are in the same page fingers crossed that he's
- 26:52Speaker 1: the guy. Yeah. Uh, I think it'd be a good
- 26:56Speaker 1: higher And in Ashley, I'm telling you there's been a
- 26:59Speaker 1: few guys in the National Football League, And being a
- 27:01Speaker 1: former defensive lineman, I always watched the defensive line coaches
- 27:05Speaker 1: very very closely. And because I want to hear what
- 27:08Speaker 1: they're saying, I want to hear their style, I want
- 27:11Speaker 1: to hear what they're teaching because I think I'm pretty
- 27:14Speaker 1: educated in that department. And uh, and Joe is one
- 27:17Speaker 1: of those guys that I never second guest everything he said.
- 27:21Speaker 1: I'm like he's dead on the money. And Joe was
- 27:23Speaker 1: always one of those guys too, that would would ask
- 27:26Speaker 1: a lot of questions. He never felt like he knew everything.
- 27:29Speaker 1: And if he would ask questions of me, he would
- 27:32Speaker 1: ask questions of any defensive line that he came across.
- 27:34Speaker 1: He would talk to Tony bassally and say, Hey, Tony,
- 27:37Speaker 1: what do you think about this? What was so hard
- 27:39Speaker 1: about blocking that? You know? So, he's a guy that
- 27:42Speaker 1: I think it was constantly learning and uh. And I
- 27:45Speaker 1: know that a lot of people want to bring up
- 27:46Speaker 1: something that might have happened in his past. But I
- 27:49Speaker 1: can tell you if we all had something brought up
- 27:51Speaker 1: from our past, and I can be the first one
- 27:53Speaker 1: to admit it, okay that uh, that everybody might have
- 27:56Speaker 1: an embarrassing moment in the past, and I would have one, Johnny,
- 27:59Speaker 1: you would probab have one. And I can tell you
- 28:01Speaker 1: firsthand that that ponytail wasn't very cool, even though you
- 28:04Speaker 1: might have thought it was. But but but I mean, look,
- 28:09Speaker 1: the past of the past, and Joe Collins are good man.
- 28:12Speaker 1: I love to hear it. Yes, john thank you for
- 28:14Speaker 1: your time and we'll leave you to the debating the
- 28:16Speaker 1: ponytail versus the haircut you have. Now we'll stay tuned
- 28:19Speaker 1: for your writing. Like the beer Johnny's got going out, Johnny,
- 28:22Speaker 1: I like that. Hey, there was no debate, Jeff, that
- 28:25Speaker 1: ponytail was Boss. It was like it was like this,
- 28:31Speaker 1: thanks guys, I've heard, I've seen pictures. I don't want
- 28:34Speaker 1: to bring him back up. I'm just scared that John
- 28:37Speaker 1: Oshan just said Boss on the radio, that that's like old.
- 28:42Speaker 1: I mean, that's like shows your age, right, Boss. It
- 28:46Speaker 1: was more of a bun, like a bun Joe, even worse,
- 28:51Speaker 1: even like a little Yeah, it was like that long

- 34:07Speaker 1: didn't mean to Jeff. It wasn't It wasn't a shot
- 34:10Speaker 1: towards Jeff. I was just saying, no, no, look, oh
- 34:13Speaker 1: you guys are starting drama. I don't want any part
- 34:16Speaker 1: of that. Tony. How are yet? Well, first of all,
- 34:20Speaker 1: I agree with I think it isn't upgrade having me
- 34:23Speaker 1: over Jeff. I mean the show, it's gonna be drawing
- 34:33Speaker 1: nor whatever whatever. All right, Tony, we can talk to you.
- 34:38Speaker 1: How what are we thinking? Uh? What do I think about?
- 34:43Speaker 1: What what he said there? Him being the head coach,
- 34:46Speaker 1: you know the GM. I mean there's so many things
- 34:48Speaker 1: happen right here. Uh yeah, it's a lot of information,
- 34:50Speaker 1: I mean not a lot of activity. Um. The one
- 34:53Speaker 1: thing is for sure. I mean it is a splash
- 34:56Speaker 1: higher um, and it's big news and it's a in
- 35:02Speaker 1: They shot Khan went after irber Meyer. He got him. Um.
- 35:05Speaker 1: He wanted to get a guy who's led been a
- 35:08Speaker 1: bona fide qualified top end leader. Now it's in the
- 35:12Speaker 1: college game, not the pro game, but still he's one
- 35:14Speaker 1: everywhere he's been. And Shot is basically saying, listen, I'm
- 35:18Speaker 1: gonna get a guy here who can lead this organization
- 35:21Speaker 1: and bring it back, and I'm gonna bring a guy
- 35:22Speaker 1: who's done it before. It might not be in this
- 35:24Speaker 1: exact arena, meaning the pro game, but it's hard to
- 35:28Speaker 1: argue that. The guys one everywhere. So, um, it's exciting
- 35:32Speaker 1: and there's a lot of exciting things going on right now. Um,
- 35:35Speaker 1: and it's gonna be an really interesting offseason. We will
- 35:39Speaker 1: not be short on news this offseason, that's one thing
- 35:41Speaker 1: for sure. Yes, and that is good news for this
- 35:45Speaker 1: Thursday show. And Jeff, I've heard some people say, oh,
- 35:48Speaker 1: he's coming right in here and he has a plan
- 35:50Speaker 1: of upgrading the facilities, and it was almost a negative
- 35:53Speaker 1: connotation towards that. But I don't feel that way. He's
- 35:55Speaker 1: coming from Ohio State, Florida, these big time college football programs,
- 35:59Speaker 1: Well that's the ms race in college football. If he
- 36:01Speaker 1: wants a facility, give the man a facility. Well, look,
- 36:04Speaker 1: it's it's the in college football. The arms race is real.
- 36:08Speaker 1: And that's facilities Alabama, the Clemsons, I mean, all these
- 36:12Speaker 1: big time programs. It it is a war of facilities
- 36:14Speaker 1: because it's a huge recruiting tool. And in the National
- 36:18Speaker 1: Football League you're not necessarily per se recruiting, but in
- 36:21Speaker 1: some sense you are in free agency, and so you
- 36:24Speaker 1: want to have as many as many tools in your toolbags,
- 36:28Speaker 1: so to speak, as far as positive to tract players.
- 36:30Speaker 1: But Um, Tony and I would agree that, Look, you
- 36:35Speaker 1: can always improve the facilities and you always want to
- 36:38Speaker 1: give the players the best of the best. Does that
- 36:41Speaker 1: necessarily mean a new facility? Maybe? Does that mean a
- 36:46Speaker 1: an upgrade to the current facilities? Is that you have
- 36:49Speaker 1: on an expansion to that? I mean, it could mean
- 36:51Speaker 1: a lot of things, But I think Urban's whole point
- 36:54Speaker 1: is give the players the best to expect the best
- 36:57Speaker 1: in return, right, And that's aar Tony. You heard him
- 37:00Speaker 1: say in the stock coming back a hot tub. I
- 37:03Speaker 1: don't think he's saying in that singular tone, but there's
- 37:05Speaker 1: no secret this building could use some upgrades. And that's okay. Yeah,
- 37:09Speaker 1: And I think that's the right mentality. You want to
- 37:12Speaker 1: be the best of everything. But I will say for me, Um,
- 37:16Speaker 1: your facilities are secondary. Um while important and you want
- 37:21Speaker 1: to have you know, you want to make sure the
- 37:22Speaker 1: players are taken care of and you're giving them the best.
- 37:25Speaker 1: To his points because you're to expect the best, Um,
- 37:28Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, let's be realistic.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Facilities aren't. You can't overnight great new facilities. Now you
- 37:33Speaker 1: can upgrade some internal facilities to do you know, put
- 37:37Speaker 1: some you know, nice finishes around and do some nice things,
- 37:41Speaker 1: but as far as the hold you know, wholesale new
- 37:43Speaker 1: facilities and new practice facilities and buildings everything else, that
- 37:46Speaker 1: takes years. UM. And So while I love it that
- 37:49Speaker 1: we should always be progressing and shooting for the stars
- 37:52Speaker 1: and investing and get bringing the best and expecting the best,
- 37:55Speaker 1: no doubt about it, I think the bigger message and
- 37:59Speaker 1: I think what I've heard him say as well, it's like,
- 38:01Speaker 1: we're going to create the best atmosphere for the for
- 38:04Speaker 1: this organization, best coaches. We're gonna demand of the players.
- 38:07Speaker 1: We're gonna treat the players the right way. We're to
- 38:10Speaker 1: do all these things and create the right culture and
- 38:12Speaker 1: atmosphere with the right standard UM, and we expect to win,
- 38:16Speaker 1: because if you look at winning, you know what you're
- 38:20Speaker 1: measured by the wins and losses. It's not you know
- 38:23Speaker 1: how great your facilities are or not. Um, It's about
- 38:25Speaker 1: what are you putting on the field, and to put
- 38:27Speaker 1: the right product on the field which produces wins. It's
- 38:30Speaker 1: all about getting the right people in the building, and
- 38:32Speaker 1: that starts with the right players and the right coaches
- 38:35Speaker 1: and in the right personnel, people that are aligned with
- 38:37Speaker 1: the coaches to pick the players and design it, and
- 38:40Speaker 1: the right support staff that is gonna support the coaches
- 38:42Speaker 1: and players. It's all about getting the right people in
- 38:44Speaker 1: the right system in place, um of how we do things.
- 38:47Speaker 1: And I think that's what you know Urban has done
- 38:50Speaker 1: in the past, you know, at places like Ohio State
- 38:53Speaker 1: and Florida, and I expect him to do the same
- 38:55Speaker 1: thing here. I think the facilities well, yes, nice, Yes,
- 38:59Speaker 1: I hope we get them. Yes, I hope we invest.
- 39:01Speaker 1: And I think Shan will he's never been trying to invest.
- 39:03Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. UM. To me, that secondary
- 39:06Speaker 1: it's about getting the right people, the right process, the
- 39:09Speaker 1: right culture, and setting the right standard of how we
- 39:12Speaker 1: do things. As Jacksville Jaguars right Tony and his introductory
- 39:17Speaker 1: interview with JP, Shatterkey said, I want to treat players great,
- 39:21Speaker 1: not good, and that was good to hear, especially with
- 39:23Speaker 1: all the drama that's been around with free agency. Jeff,
- 39:25Speaker 1: you kind of want to set the tone right here
- 39:27Speaker 1: right now that it's going to be a busy free
- 39:29Speaker 1: agency period. We're gonna do it the right way. And
- 39:32Speaker 1: I don't think he means okay, And and Tony will
- 39:34Speaker 1: attest to this when when a coach says that we
- 39:36Speaker 1: want to treat our players great, it doesn't mean that
- 39:39Speaker 1: you pamper them. Yeah, I mean this is this is
- 39:43Speaker 1: not the health club or you get manny petties and
- 39:47Speaker 1: back rubs and neck rubs while you're studying the playbook.
- 39:50Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's football. But you want to have
- 39:53Speaker 1: the players to have the best of the best. And
- 39:55Speaker 1: I will say this is that shankn in this organization
- 39:59Speaker 1: has never skimped on making sure that the players have
- 40:03Speaker 1: the best of the best. The dining hall, the food,
- 40:06Speaker 1: the best of the best. We get to experience that
- 40:09Speaker 1: first time they have. Besides therapy, they have all these
- 40:13Speaker 1: other things that are available to players and readily available
- 40:16Speaker 1: and have for a number of years, nutritionists, everything. So, uh,
- 40:21Speaker 1: Tony's right, And that look tomorrow, all of a sudden,
- 40:24Speaker 1: there's not gonna be a brand new facility out there
- 40:26Speaker 1: to where you go, welcome to the new facility. You know,
- 40:29Speaker 1: you gotta win some football games, but treat your players
- 40:31Speaker 1: the best of the best of what you have and
- 40:33Speaker 1: in the meantime, if you are looking at upgrading or
- 40:36Speaker 1: doing something completely separate, that's all fine and Danny, but
- 40:40Speaker 1: treat the players great, and Peter, treat them with respect,
- 40:43Speaker 1: but you don't pamper them as well if you treat
- 40:45Speaker 1: them like professionals. And there's a lot of organizations out
- 40:48Speaker 1: there in the National Football League that are considered the
- 40:50Speaker 1: best of the best as far as doing some of that,
- 40:53Speaker 1: and they're the ones that are typically win a year
- 40:55Speaker 1: in and year out. So you want to try to
- 40:57Speaker 1: continue to or to change the way you do things
- 41:00Speaker 1: more in line with some of the teams that historically
- 41:03Speaker 1: have success. You're on a eurotum, so let's talk about
- 41:07Speaker 1: that a little bit more, Jeff, because I want to
- 41:08Speaker 1: talk about this whole concept of treating players great, um,
- 41:12Speaker 1: because everything you said is true. You're like, but every
- 41:15Speaker 1: team can do that. Every team can have massage therapists,
- 41:19Speaker 1: every team can have good food, and every team can
- 41:22Speaker 1: have you know, all the you know, nice things that
- 41:25Speaker 1: help a player get ready, all great things. I don't
- 41:29Speaker 1: think I think that's only part of it. Because when
- 41:32Speaker 1: I think about and Jeff, I love your perspective on this.
- 41:34Speaker 1: When I think about what the players want, and I
- 41:36Speaker 1: think it's a couple of things. One, players want to
- 41:39Speaker 1: go somewhere where they know they can get better, like
- 41:42Speaker 1: like you like, they're gonna become better players and they
- 41:45Speaker 1: have a chance to succeed because if they succeed, that's
- 41:49Speaker 1: you know, will translate hopefully too wins, but also translates
- 41:52Speaker 1: into monetary value of their services in the future. So One,
- 41:56Speaker 1: players want to go somewhere they feel like they're getting
- 41:58Speaker 1: better to a big thing, and I think this is critical.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Players want to feel valued. They want to feel their
- 42:04Speaker 1: services are valued. What they do matters and that's important.
- 42:08Speaker 1: And the way you do that, you have to be
- 42:10Speaker 1: able to build relationships with players. They have to know you.
- 42:12Speaker 1: They have to know that the organization cares about what
- 42:14Speaker 1: they're doing, who they are in the sacrifice and the
- 42:17Speaker 1: work they're putting in that it matters. The third thing
- 42:20Speaker 1: I think they wanted consistency. I never I'm not a
- 42:22Speaker 1: big believer that players um are expecting to be treated
- 42:27Speaker 1: and like you know, there's always this hard coaches, player coaches,
- 42:30Speaker 1: both of one. What's the one thing both those haven't
- 42:33Speaker 1: in common is they're consistent. Players want to know what
- 42:36Speaker 1: to expect. They don't like surprises. They want to know
- 42:39Speaker 1: what to expect, what the rules are, and that they're enforced,
- 42:43Speaker 1: and that they show up every day to work and
- 42:44Speaker 1: there's a consistency with the head coach and the coaching staff,
- 42:48Speaker 1: and it doesn't change. When you win, everyone's happy. When
- 42:50Speaker 1: you lose, everyone's miserable. You know, I think back, Jeff,
- 42:52Speaker 1: when you and I played here. Tom Conflin was consistent.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Every day. He was miserable every day. It didn't matter
- 42:58Speaker 1: if you won or loss. It was the same thing.
- 43:01Speaker 1: Hard on you. It was going to drive. But as
- 43:03Speaker 1: a player, you knew what to expect. There were a structure,
- 43:06Speaker 1: and you didn't always like the way he did it.
- 43:09Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that might work today in today's NFL,
- 43:13Speaker 1: I think, but if you're consistent, you can build relationships
- 43:15Speaker 1: to players and they know they're valued and their services
- 43:18Speaker 1: are valued and you're helping them have success. That is
- 43:22Speaker 1: creating a great atmosphere for players, because that's what they want.
- 43:26Speaker 1: The rest of it is easy. It's easy to go
- 43:28Speaker 1: high a massage therapist, it's easy to go get good food,
- 43:31Speaker 1: it's easy to do all that. The hard work is
- 43:33Speaker 1: can you build a culture where players want to be there,
- 43:38Speaker 1: where they feel valued, they feel appreciated, they have relationships,
- 43:42Speaker 1: and they feel like they have an opportunity to get
- 43:43Speaker 1: better and win. That's ultimately what they want to do,
- 43:46Speaker 1: and they want to get paid. I mean, if you
- 43:48Speaker 1: can do that, then I think that's a great environment
- 43:51Speaker 1: for players. Yeah. I think the other thing too, that
- 43:56Speaker 1: that Jacksonville has kind of a built in advantage. I
- 43:59Speaker 1: think over a lot of their teams, Tony talks about money,
- 44:03Speaker 1: cost of living and uh and and what the state
- 44:07Speaker 1: tax situation is. I mean, obviously that provides a huge boost.
- 44:10Speaker 1: But the ability to attract coaches to Jacksonville is easy
- 44:16Speaker 1: because coaches love it here, and so Urbans is able
- 44:20Speaker 1: to attract a lot of coaches that that that I'm
- 44:23Speaker 1: sure that he wants because of the prospect of living
- 44:25Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I mean, look at the number of coaches
- 44:28Speaker 1: that have come through here that have stayed here. I
- 44:31Speaker 1: mean it's it's the list is long and so and
- 44:35Speaker 1: I think from that standpoint to for some players that
- 44:38Speaker 1: that is very attractive to some players as well. And
- 44:40Speaker 1: there's some players that would rather have in Atlanta or
- 44:43Speaker 1: have in New York or have some of bigger markets
- 44:46Speaker 1: and and for whatever reason, but uh, if you if
- 44:50Speaker 1: you can capitalize on all the things that Tony talked
- 44:52Speaker 1: about and make sure that all those are in place,
- 44:55Speaker 1: because Tony is right, consistency and expectations, all knowing what
- 45:00Speaker 1: what a player is expected to do in et cetera.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Like Tom Couflin said about it, it is that doesn't change.
- 45:05Speaker 1: You just don't have to be so dagon gruff about
- 45:08Speaker 1: it like Tom Caufin. And that's the relationships your face
- 45:14Speaker 1: and still be the same way. Well, I think in
- 45:17Speaker 1: today's players and even in our world today, you have
- 45:20Speaker 1: to be able to build a relationship with people. People
- 45:22Speaker 1: will go much further for you when they know you
- 45:24Speaker 1: care about them. Um. And you, by the way, you
- 45:27Speaker 1: can coach people much harder when they know you care
- 45:30Speaker 1: and you know you they that they're appreciated. And I
- 45:33Speaker 1: think that is critical, um And listen, Urban knows this.
- 45:37Speaker 1: He coached college. I mean he had a bunch of
- 45:39Speaker 1: five stars and four stars that he had to make
- 45:40Speaker 1: sure that he had relationships with it. He could coach
- 45:43Speaker 1: hard and be demanding and do all the things and
- 45:46Speaker 1: staff want to do. You only can do that today.
- 45:48Speaker 1: If you're building relationships, if you're consistent, the players trust
- 45:52Speaker 1: you. You You have to build trust. Um And I can't
- 45:54Speaker 1: emphasize enough. Most players, and any player worth their soul,
- 45:58Speaker 1: good players who want to be great. They all want
- 46:00Speaker 1: to get better. And guess what if you proved to
- 46:03Speaker 1: a player that you can help them achieve their goals,
- 46:05Speaker 1: it's amazing how much harder you can coach them and
- 46:08Speaker 1: set the expectations. And this is who we are and
- 46:10Speaker 1: this is how we do things, um And I think
- 46:13Speaker 1: those are really key things. I think at times have
- 46:16Speaker 1: probably been you know, missing right Tony and Jeff. You
- 46:20Speaker 1: mentioned that a lot of coaches come here and they
- 46:22Speaker 1: want to stay here. And I remember the argument when
- 46:25Speaker 1: the New York Jets gave up the number one pick
- 46:26Speaker 1: and they're like, ah, Trevor Lawrence, he might be so
- 46:29Speaker 1: upset he doesn't get to go to New York. Now
- 46:30Speaker 1: he might have to go to Jacksonville. And urban Meyer
- 46:32Speaker 1: has said, you know, they're looking at all quarterbacks. If
- 46:35Speaker 1: it is Trevor Lawrence, it doesn't seem like be like
- 46:37Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world that he gets to
- 46:39Speaker 1: come possibly live in Ponto Vidro with no state income tax.
- 46:42Speaker 1: And I don't think he's gonna be that upset. No,
- 46:45Speaker 1: it's uh that that's just I think that's an other
- 46:48Speaker 1: market Jubb being jealous and uh, you know, and I
- 46:51Speaker 1: think that's all that is. And and and look at
- 46:54Speaker 1: it's and a lot of people say, well, you go
- 46:56Speaker 1: to a Jacksonville. It's a smaller market also, and you're
- 46:58Speaker 1: not gonna have opportunities to be able to be on
- 47:01Speaker 1: the national stage. The NFL doesn't matter whether you're in
- 47:04Speaker 1: Green Bay, Jacksonville, New York. Uh, you're gonna have a
- 47:08Speaker 1: ton of opportunities if you're a good football player. And
- 47:11Speaker 1: so opportunities follow good football players. And if Trevor Lawrence
- 47:15Speaker 1: is a really good football player, who have all you
- 47:16Speaker 1: want right here in Jacksonville. And guess what, it also follows,
- 47:19Speaker 1: Jeff winning good football players and winning. You gotta win.
- 47:26Speaker 1: And and that's what this places has has to be
- 47:28Speaker 1: out first and foremost. We're gonna, you know, create a process,
- 47:31Speaker 1: get the right people on board, both from a player's standpoint,
- 47:34Speaker 1: from a coaching standpoint, for all the supports, staff and
- 47:36Speaker 1: all the personnel um that give you the best chance
- 47:39Speaker 1: to win. Because that's at the end of the day.
- 47:43Speaker 1: That's what you're judged on. And that and and I'm
- 47:47Speaker 1: not saying you could do it's okay to do things
- 47:48Speaker 1: the wrong way. You have to stick to your culture
- 47:51Speaker 1: and stick to you know, the convictions of what you've
- 47:53Speaker 1: said as the standard of of your organization. But it's
- 47:56Speaker 1: amazing winning here is a lot of bills um and
- 48:00Speaker 1: so winning, winning is critical and that's what the main
- 48:03Speaker 1: ball ship needs to be. Yes, no secret, Urban Meyer
- 48:07Speaker 1: was brought here to win football games. That is priority
- 48:10Speaker 1: number one. We get ready for a busy off season
- 48:12Speaker 1: when we come back on Jaguars Happy or are kind
- 48:14Speaker 1: of a to do list of what to focus on

- 51:04Speaker 1: we're committed to providing high quality life insurance to members
- 51:07Speaker 1: of the military and their families. So our policies have
- 51:10Speaker 1: no fine print and no military service restrictions. We don't

- 51:21Speaker 1: commitment is to you visit Navy Mutual dot org, Navy
- 51:25Speaker 1: Mutual ensuring those who serve. But when I see the
- 51:47Speaker 1: Jaguar emblem, there's you better have ownership and you better
- 51:51Speaker 1: love it, and if not, it's my job to eliminate
- 51:53Speaker 1: those people from this organization. And that's I take that
- 51:56Speaker 1: very serious that I've taken that. When I was a
- 51:58Speaker 1: Florida Gator coach, when you talked about the gatorhead, we
- 52:01Speaker 1: if you go back in memory lane, I actually took
- 52:03Speaker 1: it away from the player and staff. You don't always
- 52:06Speaker 1: blame the players. I I hear that. You guys know
- 52:09Speaker 1: that I don't blame players. I blame coaches before players.
- 52:12Speaker 1: But you know, just when you see that Jaguar album,
- 52:15Speaker 1: I want we've done a good job in several years.
- 52:18Speaker 1: If this this city of Jacksonville, when they see that
- 52:22Speaker 1: Jaguar amblem, there's a sense of pride and let's go, man,
- 52:24Speaker 1: Let's let's go. That's that's I can see a fast team.
- 52:26Speaker 1: I see people who care deeply about that organization. And
- 52:29Speaker 1: the two things I always talk about are that inspire
- 52:32Speaker 1: our part of inspiration or love and ownership. I want
- 52:35Speaker 1: you to own it. And if you don't want to
- 52:36Speaker 1: do that, you can't. You really can't be here. And
- 52:39Speaker 1: I own that, own that emblem. I remire definitely the
- 52:43Speaker 1: not lack passion. In his introductory press conference as the
- 52:47Speaker 1: new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, We're back, Jaguars,
- 52:50Speaker 1: Happy our Ashlyn Sullivan, Jeff Logerman, and Tony BASSELLI here
- 52:54Speaker 1: with a to do list of this busy offseason. Senior
- 52:57Speaker 1: Bowl NFL combine draft coming up. But Tony, I go
- 53:01Speaker 1: to you first with this first point, what do you
- 53:04Speaker 1: do with left tackle? You're most likely I'll take that back.
- 53:07Speaker 1: You are drafting a quarterback with the number one overall picks.
- 53:10Speaker 1: So do you re sign Cam Robinson? What are we
- 53:13Speaker 1: doing here, Tony? I mean, if you look at if
- 53:22Speaker 1: you look at Cam, uh, Cam Robinson, he is he
- 53:26Speaker 1: had an up and down year. At times he looked
- 53:28Speaker 1: very good. It looked like he made big improvements, his
- 53:30Speaker 1: footwork look better. At other times there was some inconsistency
- 53:34Speaker 1: and inconsistent a big game, at big times of games
- 53:37Speaker 1: that you have a chance to maybe do something. UM.
- 53:39Speaker 1: And so I think you have to look at what
- 53:41Speaker 1: the value is. UM. It's it's obviously a premiere position.
- 53:45Speaker 1: The offensive line you have to build, especially with the
- 53:47Speaker 1: young quarterback and protect that guy. Um. You can't win
- 53:50Speaker 1: football games without a quarterback, which you can't win football
- 53:52Speaker 1: games without control the line of scrimmage either. So, UM,
- 53:56Speaker 1: premier left I mean I'm not gonna say premier. Um.
- 54:00Speaker 1: Good left tackles are getting seventeen million dollars a year, UM,
- 54:03Speaker 1: with a lot of million dollars guaranteed. Um, you're gonna
- 54:06Speaker 1: have some cap issues this year, not the Jaguars, but overall,
- 54:09Speaker 1: the NFL cap most likely gonna stay flat or go
- 54:12Speaker 1: down because of COVID. You have a lot of room
- 54:14Speaker 1: if you're the Jacksville Jaguars, and so I think what
- 54:16Speaker 1: you do is you have to allocate. The first thing
- 54:18Speaker 1: you do is you say how much work? What value
- 54:20Speaker 1: do we put on Cam Robinson? And before we start
- 54:23Speaker 1: having conversations with him, let's put a value of like,
- 54:25Speaker 1: what are we comfortable with paying for this position based
- 54:27Speaker 1: on the play that we got last year and what
- 54:29Speaker 1: we are projecting we think he can be. UM. And
- 54:32Speaker 1: then you have to go start looking in the out
- 54:34Speaker 1: in the out in the free agent market, Um, what
- 54:37Speaker 1: what does it look like and what is going to
- 54:39Speaker 1: happen and what our team is gonna have to do
- 54:41Speaker 1: based on cap pressure? Uh, and what is happening and
- 54:44Speaker 1: getting understanding what's out in the free agent market. And
- 54:47Speaker 1: then finally you look at the draft and you know
- 54:50Speaker 1: you're gonna pick in twenty five. You know you have
- 54:51Speaker 1: a list of needs. You have to rank those needs
- 54:53Speaker 1: based on how you're building your team and what who
- 54:56Speaker 1: you want to be and where you find the biggest
- 54:57Speaker 1: areas of weakness, and you start evaluating what can we
- 55:01Speaker 1: get at what can we get at the top of
- 55:03Speaker 1: the second round, what will be available, is it starting caliber,
- 55:07Speaker 1: is it someone we can trust to come in? Um?
- 55:10Speaker 1: And then you weigh all of that and then you
- 55:12Speaker 1: make a decision of how aggressive you're gonna be with
- 55:14Speaker 1: came Robinson. So I don't think it's a decision you
- 55:16Speaker 1: make in a vacuum um as Yes, it's not a
- 55:19Speaker 1: buying there yes or no. UM. You got to do
- 55:21Speaker 1: a lot of research and start pulling together all the data,
- 55:24Speaker 1: all the facts, and then you make a decision whether
- 55:26Speaker 1: you keep them or not. And part of that is
- 55:29Speaker 1: is the unknown. What's the expectation of Cam Robinson and
- 55:33Speaker 1: this camp financially? I mean, if they all sudden say hey,
- 55:36Speaker 1: look we want twenty million a year an you're not
- 55:40Speaker 1: gonna say yeah, sure, you know we need to love
- 55:42Speaker 1: t Yeah you say goodbye. I mean, so you know,
- 55:47Speaker 1: a lot of this is is kind of bid. What
- 55:49Speaker 1: would you would tag under the TBD to be determined,
- 55:53Speaker 1: because you've got to find out where they are, where
- 55:55Speaker 1: you are, what your expectations are, and also what your
- 55:59Speaker 1: thoughts are with the new eli managed from the new
- 56:00Speaker 1: coach on that, because I mean the roster evaluation. You've
- 56:03Speaker 1: got new eyes looking at you now, and those new
- 56:06Speaker 1: eyes may have a different opinion of vastly different opinion
- 56:10Speaker 1: than what the eyes were looking at that position before.
- 56:13Speaker 1: So well, it's not all new eyes, Jeff. I mean
- 56:16Speaker 1: Trent Balkey has been looking at this roster for a
- 56:18Speaker 1: year now. Um. Now maybe you know he now has
- 56:21Speaker 1: a greater say than he did before. So you know,
- 56:26Speaker 1: existing eyes with new roles and new level of influence. Um,
- 56:31Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what that he does, Trent
- 56:33Speaker 1: does with the personnel department, if there's changes there to
- 56:36Speaker 1: get fresh eyes in the process. The reason I bring
- 56:39Speaker 1: that up, Tony, is that when you when you have
- 56:42Speaker 1: a new set of eyes looking at someone. The reason
- 56:44Speaker 1: I say that, for example, Cam Robinson is not Trent
- 56:47Speaker 1: Balky's draft pick. Okay, that's right. That's a great point.
- 56:51Speaker 1: That changes things because now you're looking at it without
- 56:56Speaker 1: your own personal glasses because you have a benefit of
- 57:01Speaker 1: retaining or paying a player that you drafted. The people
- 57:05Speaker 1: that are making the call now they have no tie,
- 57:08Speaker 1: they have no tie to any past Jaguars draft picks.
- 57:11Speaker 1: Now it's all about evaluation based on production and expected
- 57:16Speaker 1: level of production, so that stuff will change, I think
- 57:21Speaker 1: as we move forward. I agree. Yep, great, great points.
- 57:26Speaker 1: All right, Tony Boselli, thanks so much for joining us.
- 57:29Speaker 1: Enjoy your off season wherever you may be. Hopefully a vacation,
- 57:33Speaker 1: a break coming soon for you. That is Jaguars Happy
- 57:36Speaker 1: our stay tuned for the next hour coming up right
- 57:39Speaker 1: here five o'clock. Appreciate you joining us right here on
- 57:42Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com Life. Yea, the focus is always on
- 58:23Speaker 1: the draft and building your team through the draft. I
- 58:26Speaker 1: think you used the other avenues to supplement your roster,
- 58:30Speaker 1: whether that's in big name free agents, uh, mid mid
- 58:34Speaker 1: tier free agents, or low end free I think you're
- 58:37Speaker 1: always searching to build your roster, whether it's from the
- 58:40Speaker 1: top down or the bottom up, or somewhere in the middle. Uh.
- 58:43Speaker 1: You your goal is to get the best fifty three
- 58:46Speaker 1: players you possibly can and go to work. I'm a
- 58:51Speaker 1: resource for coach. That's what the way I look at it.
- 58:54Speaker 1: I provide a service where he can come in, he
- 58:57Speaker 1: can boast things off of me. Question because there's gonna
- 59:01Speaker 1: be a lot of questions. There's gonna be a lot
- 59:03Speaker 1: of things that are gonna be first time for him.
- 59:05Speaker 1: But in the short time I've been with him, the
- 59:08Speaker 1: one thing I realized, he's a quick study. It's not
- 59:10Speaker 1: gonna take him long to figure the rules out and
- 59:13Speaker 1: everything that goes with it. And he certainly as a coach,
- 59:18Speaker 1: you know, he knows his way around the practice field
- 59:21Speaker 1: very well. This is Jaguars Happy Former Jaguar Jeff Loghman
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: and JP Shadrick provide the latest Jaguars news and what's
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: happening around the NFL J beacons right now. Welcome in
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour Askelan Sullivan and for JP shatter g
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: a much needed vacation for him, wishing him lots of
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: fun and relaxation. Here with Jeff Logman on Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: If you have not heard big news of the day,
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: the Jaguars have announced Trent Bulky is a new general
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: manager of the Jaguars. Are going to break that down
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: along with Bucky Brooks coming up right here on Jaguars
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: Happy Hour. So, Jeff, initial thoughts and initial reaction from
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Trent Bulky being the new general manager. I've been told
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: that he's definitely a leader, definitely strongheaded, likes things his way.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see how this goes now with
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, this is his show to run with the
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: help of Trent Bulky. Well, I think first and foremo
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: so you say strong headed. Who if somebody's good, uh
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: and believes in what they do, they should be strong headed.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: And I like the fact that they got somebody that
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: has experience at being a general manager in the National
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: Football League, because I think having experience is going to
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: help a coach for the first time that he's been
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: in the National Football League, like like an Urban buyer.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: So and I don't think there's any uh freak occurrence
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: that Trent Balky was brought into this organization back in
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: the wintertime for just because, oh we liked him and
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: he's a great addition. The reality is, and I think
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: that that ownership probably had a little bit of Say,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: I mean, if if Shot Khan had control over the
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: roster last year and then obviously had some input and
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: some of the decision making this year, why would he
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: not have had some input into the hiring of Trent
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: Balky to a position within the Jaguar staff. And so
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: obviously there's a level of a respect and a level
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: of approval from a very get go when he was
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: brought in here, even though it wasn't for a general
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: manager role, but with how things occurred, I think it
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: it worked out very well and I think Urban will
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: appreciate the experience that Trent Balky has. Yes, former director
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: of player Personnel. No coincidence that he is now here
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: now general manager of the Jaguars and is brought into
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: a perfect situation. You could say, number one overall pick
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: eleven draft picks. You have five draft picks in the
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: first three rounds. I don't want to say it it's
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: tough to mess that up because I know you can.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: But pretty ideal situation here for Trent pulls it's it's
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: it's ideal if you look at it from the standpoint
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: of boy, there's a lot of draft picks, but an
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: ideal situation is to be taken over, uh, the general
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: manager position for an organization that has been a perennial winner.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: I mean that's optimal. I mean this is challenging and
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: some people might be scared of it, but some of
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: the personnel guys think that this is a great opportunity
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: because they believe very strongly in their own ability to
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: acquire talent to build an organization, and so there are
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: a lot of positives, but the reality is there's a
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: lot of building to do, a lot of building to
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: do from from every aspect because this organization has not
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: been very successful over the years. And it's a great
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: challenge and it's one that I think that Urban Meyer
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: looked at and saw as a great opportunity that uh
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: for for to win number one, but number two, that look,
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: if you go to the NFL and you win, and
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to win, and you've got the
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: tools and the resources to do it, go for it.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: It would add to your legacy. I mean, Jimmy Johnson.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Look at what Jimmy Johnson was one National Championships. It's
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: like Urban goes to the Cowboys, gets Troy Aikman, already
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: has Michael Irvin there and then has the Herschel Walker trade,
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: which gives them a boon of pis. Well, the Jaguars
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: already have a boon of pis and they're able to
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: build a Super Bowl, multiple multi time winner in Dallas,
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: and Jimmy Johnson was a big part of that. So
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: I think Urban looked at that and said here's my
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: chance to put my stamp in the NFL. And I
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: think it's a great opportunity. It's a great opportunity for everybody. Yeah,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: I don't blame him at all. He came in here
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: saying I was only going to come into a situation
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: that was perfect and one more I saw that I
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: could win. There's no secret the opportunities there. You just
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: got to go take it. Now. Well, there's there's other
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: opportunities around the National Football League that have been filled.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: But some of those opportunities, there are opportunities just from
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: the standpoint to look, there's only thirty two positions of
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: being a head coach. But you look at some of them,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: and not to name names, but some of them are
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: teams that have a commitment to the quarterback that you
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: can't get out of. And the quarterback play hasn't been great.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: The cap situations are horrendous. Some teams don't have any
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: draft capital and then have a situation where some people
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: on staff are untouchable or seem to be untouchable. Um,
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: and in a quarterback that's very unhappy. I mean, so
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: there's all these others. Well, I mean, take your pick,
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: uh and and ownership issues that that aren't particularly strong,
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: and and so this situation strong ownership, willing to spend
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: commitment to whatever resources are available, lots of draft picks,
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: lots of cap room, and an opportunity to take a
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: piece of clay and mold it into your eyes. And
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: I think that's what probably and would have if I'm
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: urban Meyer, that would have made this job extremely attractive.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: And I'm sure that's one of the big reasons he
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: took it, because, I mean, he knows that, uh, this
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: is a quarterback game, and he said that before in
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: this press conference, and he didn't say just it's a
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: quarterback league. He said, it's a quarterback game. And here
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: you are. You you're sitting there with the first overall
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: picking an opportunity to pick a quarterback that you can
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: pick and have a chance to win in the future.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: So I was just too much to pass up for him.
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: I could not agree more. And now he has the
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: task of building a coaching staff. And I was talking
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: to someone and they said, yes, it's great that you
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: come into this opportunity, and it's a great oppert tun
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: very well publicized, but it's also incredibly hard to be
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: a head coach right now, because you have every coach
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: you've ever been around calling you saying, hey, give me
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: an opportunity. You don't really know what you're doing. As
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: well as NFL experience. To all these people are calling you,
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: who do you put where? There's all these interviews going on.
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: It stresses me out just thinking about it. I'm not
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: gonna lie because I can only imagine the phone calls
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: he's getting right now. What's true, what's not? I can
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: tell you this, Actually, it's a hell of a lot
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: better to have people calling you wanting a job than
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: people that are going, I don't want to have anything
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: to do with you in the job, because I I
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: can tell you there are markets and situations that are
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: like that. So having people call you that's great. Now
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: you can cherry pick, you know, because if you've got
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: six guys calling you for one position and urban talked
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: about being the best of the best and making having
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: an elite staff, well, okay, if you've got six to
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: choose from seven, eight to choose from, to hell a
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: lot better than some other market that has nobody calling
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: you because they don't want to work for you, because
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: they know that the situation you're in you don't have
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: a chance. And so when more people are calling you,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: that's a good thing. And so then you can say, Okay,
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: we're gonna take him because he is the best out
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: of this group. He is the best I can get.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: And so that's a positive, even though it might think
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: he's driving crazy because all these people are calling you.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: Look Erban Meyer has a vast history with coaches and
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: and a and a very strong network. I'm sure of
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: people that he can make phone calls to, like he's
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: done with Jimmy Johnson in the past, to be able
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: to get information on some people that he may not
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: know about but might be an ace on his staff.
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: And I'm sure he's used lying, utilizing all of those tools. Yes,
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: that guy, safe to say, knows a lot of people
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: around the league, around college football. He's got three sources
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: to make it happen, all right. When we come back

- 1:10:06Speaker 1: Welcome back to Jaguars Happy Hour. Here's your host, g P.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: Shadrick's not JP shadowed Ashlan Sullivan just for this week.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: As JP had on vacation, We're back Jaguars Happy Hour
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: with Jeff Blogman. An NFL Draft Network analyst. Bucky Brooks
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: joins us now all the way from California. Bucky, thank
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: you for joining us. The big news of the day
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: as Trent Fulky is the new general manager for the Jaguars.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: What were your thoughts, um, I thought is very similar
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: to what Jeff had uttered. We talked about experience being
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: a huge part of this process. When you have a
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: new head coach who was unfamiliar with the National Football League,
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: you want to pay them with someone who knows the
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: ins and outs of the league. Because Balky has done
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: this before with Jim Harbaugh, you would like to think
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: that they will be able to get a jump start
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: on the process. And when you think about this partnership
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: is really important that you do have the ability of
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: you go back and forth, and that you do have
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: different opinions and you challenge one another to get the
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: decision right, meaning the best decision for the Jaguars. I
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: think this is an interesting matchup. I think this was
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: something that was certainly in the cars when Balky came
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: on board, and now we get a chance to see
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: it play out. In real time. By the way, Bucky,
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: good to have you because you're an upgrade to this show.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: Did you hear say that Bell was an upgrade in
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: the last that I mean I was expecting you to
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: do the same, I mean upgrade. Man, you got, Bucky,
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: some upgrade calls there. I'm never gonna live this down ever,
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: h Bucky. I had to do that because Joe is
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: telling me, I can't believe you didn't call her out
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: at the end of the last show. So whate there,
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: I was calling her out. Okay, that's right. Hold everybody accountable. Yes,
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: it's fair, it's fair. I'll take the blame, all right, Bucky.
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: We are getting ready for the Senior Bowl next week
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: in Mobile, Alabama. We will be there Jaguars dot Com,
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: and I know you'll be covering it from your home.
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: Needless to say, the Senior Bowl is gonna look a
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: little different this year. Yeah, it is going to look
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: a little different. Like there are all kinds of protocols
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: put in place to protect the players, uh, limiting the
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: amount of representatives from each team that can come and
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: check out the event in in live action. But I
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: think this is a great opportunity to still see these prospects,
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: and when you think about the opt outs and the
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: limited games and the different amount of games, and some
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: of these players have played the Senior Bowl will really
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: help a lot of guys kind of determine where players
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: fit on the board. And never forget, without the combine,
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: we won't get a chance to see a lot of
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: the top prospects on the field together. And so when
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: you're doing these comparisons between maybe wide receiver three and
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: wide receiver four, to be able to potentially see them
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: go through drills, workout back to back and do that,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: it will help you separate some of the clusters that
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: ultimately exist on the draft boards when it comes closer
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: to draft time. Yeah, I think you've got a great
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: point there, Bucky, as far as I mean, you have
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: some opt outs that didn't even play in a college
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: season that may participate in an All Star Game. There's
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: some programs like Florida State that didn't play a lot
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: of football games this year. So and most importantly, when
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: you have an All Star game, it's about seeing NFL
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: quality players against other NFL quality players. And I know
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: for me personally, when when I played in the Blue
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: Gray Game and I don't even think that's even existence anymore.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: And then also the East West Shrine game, it raised
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: my UH profile because I was able to play some
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: different positions, but also to go against what we're viewed
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: as other NFL caliber players. And that's a huge, huge,
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: important thing. I think UH for the All Star Games
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: is because now you can start comparing apples to apples
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: when you're evaluating guys. And a perfect example of that
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: buck I remember watching Brandon Linder and his All Star performance,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: and I was watching him against other guys that were
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: considered extremely high draft ability why and he was working
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: on them and so that obviously raised his level of
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: stature as well. So all Star games crazy important. And
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: the combine what's the status on that buckey, what's is
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: not even gonna exist? What's the deal? So a couple
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: of different things, because I think you hit on a
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: couple of points that are really important. Um knowing one
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: and nointry embarking and knowing this scouting staff. All Star
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: games will have significance now you await them accordingly. But
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: because you haven't seen some of these players play against
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: elite competition, the All Star Game could give you a
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: little preview in terms of how they may play at
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: the next level, particularly for those guys who may come
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: from smaller schools or smaller programs. It's a huge evaluation
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: tool as it relates to the combine. The way the
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: combine is going to exist now is really it's a
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: virtual combine. Teams will do uh the zoom interviews and
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: conduct that part of it virtually. Eventually they were figure
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: out of time to have everyone come in to do
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: the medicals stuff, but pro days will now be the
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: big thing. Scouts will have to get on the road
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: or have to figure out a way to live stream
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: to see these prospects work out because logs, as you
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: talk about, some of these guys haven't played since twenty nineteen.
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: You have no idea what their size is, you don't
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: know what their way to you don't even know if
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: they move around the same way that they moved around
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: the last time you saw them on the field. And
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: so being able to try and get some kind of
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: evaluation on the athleticism, the movement skills and those things.
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: It's a challenge this year, and I think the best teams,
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: the teams that handle it the best will be those
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: who really rely on the tape, and so tape study
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: will be paramount. It's always big in the evaluation process,
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: but I think this year more than ever, you have
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: to really trust what your eyes tell you based off
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: the tape. I think the players that played this year,
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: and and it's not I'm not saying it was their
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: fault whether they did or didn't, but the players that
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: played because their programs played and they chose to play,
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: I think have a distinct advantage over the players that didn't.
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: And and that's unfortunate because some players had serious concerns
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: because of the pandemic. But that's just the reality of
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: if you're a personnel man, you're gonna go with what
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: you can trust, and what you trust is what you see.
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: And some guys that you may be projected Bucky as
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: a first round pick but he decided not to play, well,
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: you know what, he may not be a first round
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: pick this year, just because you know, if you're a
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: general manager, you gotta trust it. But this is the
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: one year that I think that it goes a little
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: bit old school as far as you have to have
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: scouts that you can trust. You have to have people
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: in your department that you trust and This is a
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: challenge for Trent Baulky because he's working with the stat
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: that he didn't choose for the most part. So he
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: has to be able to have a level of trust
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: with some people and then bring more people in that
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: he can trust, because this is a year that scouting
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: makes their money because they're gonna have to end up
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: forecasting a lot of this stuff, and some of it's
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: gonna be done on faith. And you better make darn
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: sure that you believe in the decisions that you make
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: and the grades that you give these players because a
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: lot of it, again is on faith. Absolutely, Jeff, that
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: is a huge point. It is one of those things
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: that will be overlooked. So it's different being the suggestion
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: guy to being the decision maker. And so now Balky
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: moves want seed over. He's the guy that has to
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: make decisions. And so when you're assessing the room, you
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: have to be able to scout the scouts and know
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: which ones really see it through your eye. Doesn't mean
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: that their opinions have to be the same, but you
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: respect how they evaluate the tape, you respect what they
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: put down in the reports. And when you have what
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: I call a mixed staff, meaning some of the predecessor
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: of guys and some of your guys. It does make
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: it very, very difficult to figure out whose opinion do
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: I really value when it comes time to make these
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: hard decisions. I think one of the things that you
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: can um work around that is I wouldn't be surprised
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: to see maybe a consultant come man or someone that
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: is hired in the middle of the process who can
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: be his right hand man, who can be a sounding
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: board when you have some of these difficult decisions when
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: it comes to two similar graded players on the draft board, right,
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: absolutely need a guy that you can trust. And needless
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: to say, this offseason, it's just gonna be weird as
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: we get ready for the Senior Bowl next week as
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: well as free agency, all kinds of cap space. What

- 1:20:35Speaker 1: in today's game. Welcome back to Jaguar's Happy Hour. Here's
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: your host TV shad rack flatterers called Jasty Shatters on
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour, Ashland fell even here with Jeff Logaman
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: and Bucky Brooks as we get ready for the Senior
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: Bowl just next week in Mobile, Alabama and Bucky you
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: will be there with NFL Network virtually, of course, and
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: I have a feeling we're not to be able to
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: get away from the talk of Trevor Lawrence and the
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Obviously he won't be there. So
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: from a Jaguars perspective, what are you gonna be looking at? Immobile?
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: So here's the thing. You have a really talented collection
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: of players and prospects, and you actually have some guys
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: who are opt outs who are elected to play in
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: this All Star Game because they understand the significance. I
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: think the one thing that you want to do if
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: you're a Jaguars fan, um, you want to pay attention
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: to the guys that really pop at first glance during
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday portion of practices. That's really where
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: the money is made in terms of how guys compete,
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: what guys look like. Do they progress and get better
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: each and every day? So do they look like a
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: better player on Wednesday? Did they do it on Tuesday?
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: Do they feel comfortable on Thursday as opposed to the
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: way they looked on Tuesday and Wednesday. I think that's
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: really really important. It's unfortunate that the Jaguars don't have
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: an opportunity to coach in this game, because what it
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: does do it gives you an opportunity to get around players.
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: And it's one thing to speculate how a player will perform,
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: it's another thing to actually coach him, get around him,
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: know him. Watch the study habits, Watch how it takes
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: things from the boardroom to the field, and so some
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: of that stuff you have to kind of call in
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: your context or whatever. But it's a lot of talent,
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: it's a lot of guys to watch, and will continue
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: to change because as we know in All Star games,
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: some guys have a tendency to play the first part
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: of the week and then they go by the wayside
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: and you end up seeing other guys when it comes
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: to game game. Yeah, and uh, one of the one
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: of the critical parts of All Star games is practice evaluations.
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how teams go about
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: it because of some of the restrictions that the All
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: Star Games are gonna have in place, and I'm sure
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: that they're gonna disseminate all the film. I'm I'm a
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: big believer in that one of the one of the
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: areas that you really get a good look at in
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: a in a or thorough understanding of guys. Is the
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the All Star Games. And the reason
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: I say that is a lot of times certain teams
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: have so much talent that the skill position it has
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: a tendency to overpower the offensive line position. And you
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: can really get a good evaluation on a guy that
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: because he's kind of on an island and so to speak,
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: at an All Star Game, because he doesn't have a
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: comfort level working with the guy to the left and
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: the guy to the right, so they basically have to
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: survive on their own. So you get a really good
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: evaluation of their athleticism, their power and everything else. And
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: so that's that's one aspect I mean, for me, if
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: I'm looking at the All Star Games, I'm really focusing
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: on the offensive line. That's I think you get really
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: good information their skill position players. They always rise and
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: they always stand out and they will continue to stand out.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: But the quarterback play typically in an All Star Game
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: is not great enough to make a lot of the
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: skill position players stand out. But that offensive line position,
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: that's where I think you can find out really worth
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: some guys really need to be you know, it's funny, Jeff,
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: because the trenches are everything, and so whether we talk
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: about the offensive line or the defensive line, those battles
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: really matter. And so and practice is all about looking
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: at nine on seven and so for the viewer of
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: the listener, that is where we take the skill guys
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: out and we basically just have the core of the
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: offensive line going against the core of the defensive line
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: and the linebackers. We have the quarterback and the running backs,
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: but it's a run period, is a physical period, and
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: you really get to see who can kind of stand
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: the test of time in terms of being able to
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: control the point of attack. Also the one on one
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: situations that you see pass rush situations, being able to
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: see as Jeff, you alluded to those offensive linemen on islands,
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: because unlike in the game where you can lean on
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: your neighbors and get some body help and stuff, if
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: you're playing inside and guard or even outside where the
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: tied end and the running back and chip, you get
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: a chance to really do this all by yourself. And
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: so seeing how those guys perform in those events that's critical,
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: and I think it's very very critical to the overall evaluation. Yeah,
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: it's it's one of these I think it's one of
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: the hardest positions to evaluate, and so the more information
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: that you can get, the better. And then the All
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: Star Games provide that. And I'll give you a story
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: Ashland back uh, and I'll make it quick. When I
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: was a player here in Jacksonville and Buck, I'll never
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: forget he was, I think, like a fourth round pick
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: offensive lineman. And I'll never forget the first day that
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: we went in pads, and I remember the first day
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: in pats and I remember I watched him for the
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: first round. This guy has no chance of playing in
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: the National He's got no chance. I mean he couldn't
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: get into a stance without his ankles and his knees
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: going in these crazy directions. And it was one practice,
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: You're going, he's got no chance. And I'm sitting there
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: thinking to myself, what the heck were they watching? What
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: do they evaluate on this guy? Because I mean, there
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: are offensive lineman that play on good teams that if
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: you've got a great running back and a great quarterback,
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: you can make an offensive lineman look pretty good. And
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: so I'll just I'll never forget that I was just
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: like man one day, and I kind of had this
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: guy picked that he wasn't even gonna make the roster,
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: but he made the roster just because he was a
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: draft pick. But then soon after that he was bye bye.
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: You know, I couldn't play. You're passionate about this. The
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: more information you can get at the offensive line, the
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: better y'ere off you are. I can tell you that
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: well asked to talk about what what lives are saying
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: a lot of times you're seeing these guys come from
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: these offenses that are so spread heavy, so pass happy,
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: that you really don't know if they can translate to
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: the NFL game, because the NFL game is about the
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: running game as much as we talk about the passing game.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: And can you get into three point stance? Can you
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: move people off the ball and pass protection? Can you
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: deal with the superheroes that play on the defensive line,
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: because these guys look they can leap tall buildings in
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: a single bound, and if you don't have the foot quickness,
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: if you don't have the ability to anchor, it makes
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: it very difficult for you to play in this league
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: for a long time. And sometimes you can't assess that
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: on tape. Sometimes you have to see them in practice,
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: go against other good players to really determine how that
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: they are as prospect. Very fair, very fair. I have
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: a predicament. I guess I can say for you too.
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: And I hope my dad's watching because he always says,
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: as you look at Joe Burrow and Cincinnati and they say, oh,
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: you know, they didn't address the offensive line. That's why
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: Joe Burrow got hurt. Obviously that was going to happen. Now,
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: obviously that's not true. Injuries happen in the NFL. So Bucky,
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: I'll go to you, how much of priority is this
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: offensive line is? They must need got to re look
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: at everything we read at the combine last year and
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: everyone said fan wise, oh you have to completely redo
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: the offensive line. Coaching staff said, no, it's not that bad. Guys,
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: just wait and see so Jaguars taking a quarterback number
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: one overall? How much are you looking at this offensive line?
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: I think you have to consider because I think a
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: lot is to be determinent about Cam Rominson, and so
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: depending on if you bring him back as your left tackle,
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: you may or may not have a big void. But
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: I think with the offensive line, I don't think you
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: ever can have enough of them. If you look at
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: the best teams in this division, their offensive line is solidified.
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: The Indian Appolist Coast offensive line is one of the
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: best in football. You look at the way the Tennessee
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: Titans dominate in the trenches, it is because they've invested
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: in the offensive line. I will say this. I believe
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: your offensive line and your defensive line are the lifeblood
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: of your team. And if you don't invest in those guys,
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: if you don't have a level offensive and defensive lines,
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: it is hard to win consistently in the league. I
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: think it's something that always needs to be addressed. And
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: luckily in this class there are a number of offensive
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: tackles that could be there in the middle to the
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: bottom of the first round. It would be great because
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: you can improve an offensive line by getting better players,
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: number one, and also creating competition, and then you got
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: to improve with what you got. And and I really
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: believe this. I think he create competition on this Jaguars
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: offensive line to make those guys push themselves. But then
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: also you have to expect more out of these guys.
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: Joanna Taylor. I think it is a perfect example. Bucky.
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: I mean, I like his athleticism. I think he can
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: be an elite right tackle in this league, and last
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: year was not the standard that he needs to meet.
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: In my and you, oh, Jeff, I think that's everything.
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: And I think when you have a new coaching staff
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: coming in, a new general manager, I think everybody in
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: the building has to perk up on the roster. And
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: when you think about this offensive line, there's no one
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: that's invested in whoever the five guys that were out
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: there last year. So now you bring in better guys,
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: guys that can push, because not only do you want
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: the best guys to play, but you want the backups
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: to be capable of being starters. The best teams have
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: that kind of depth where you have seven eight guys
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: that can play and function at a high level. That's
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: when your team, and that's when your offensive line has
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: an opportunity to dominate within the Division's a fresh start
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: for everyone, players, coaches, you name it. A busy offseason

- 1:32:04Speaker 1: more with our friend Bucky Brooks. On this Thursday afternoon,
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: we had a press conference day with head coach Urban
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: Meyer as well as the new general manager, Trent Bulky,
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: and they are hard at work building a coaching staff. Bucky.
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: There's all kinds of reports going on. Every time you
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: log on the Twitter you see a new one. But
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: what do you think in favorite so far for offensive
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: coordinator defensive coordinator? Were talking Joe calling a couple of
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: breaks back. Definitely a favorite here in Jackson. So how
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: do you think this plays out? You know, I think
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: Joe Cullen certainly has the inside track in terms of
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: being the defensive coordinator, and I think he comes with
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: a lot of experience. Obviously haven't been down there before,
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: but his time with Baltimore. When you look at the
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens and that defense very very very multiple, they
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: can attack your protections in a few different ways and
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: they're very very aggressive. The thing that I would I
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: would say is if he comes in, if he is
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, you just need to make sure that
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: your second dairy coaches understand how to fit the pieces
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: around it, because sometimes guys that live upfront have a
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: tougher time matching up in the back end when it
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: comes to coverage. So it puts a greater premium on
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: making sure that your dB coaches are great teachers and
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: also great schemers so they can make the magic on
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: the board really work in real life when you get
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: to the field. Yeah, I mean, typically you see a
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: guy that goes from a positional coach to a coordinator
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: position on defense having had experience either as the linebackers
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: coach or as a secondary coach. Just from a coverage standpoint,
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: I think, well, obviously what Bucky's talking about right there,
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: and so it is odd that you see a defensive
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: line coach go up to the coordinator position. But but
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: I will say this, Bucky, you know, look at having
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: been a former defensive lineman. Look, we're not all dumbies. Okay,
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: we we do understand defensive concepts. Okay, just because we
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: play defensive line doesn't mean that we don't didn't understand
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: cover just as well. No, I think, I think, I
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: think it's interesting, But I will say this, typically what
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: happens when you do that, because we've seen guys have success.
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: Dan Quinn has been a successful defensive coordinator. Typically what happens, though,
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: is that experience have been dealt with the big guys
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: in the line of scrimmage. You're going to be dominant
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: against the run. Typically, that's always going to be the
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: point of emphasis. We gotta stop to run to make
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: teams one dimensional. And in today's game, even though we
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: talked about it being a passing league, in the playoffs
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: and when it gets to the last part of the season,
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: the running game matters and you have to be able
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: to figure out a way to stop that, to force
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: people to throw when you really want to throw. And
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: so look, I think he has an opportunity to do
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: a really good job. That experience serves him will not
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: only in Jackson, but also in Baltimore. So I look
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: forward to it. I know there's some other guys that
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: were being banded around, but it seems like Colin is
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: going to be the guy at defense. Yeah, I mean
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Look at look actually looking at
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: my phone just a few minutes ago. I mean, all
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: the reports are is that Joe Culin is the defensive
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: coordinator and Bucky Uh. I know Joe, Joe very well,
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: good guy and excited for him. And what's amazing to me,
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: ashland Is and Bucky you know this. So the number
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: of defensive coordinators that have come out of Baltimore's positional group,
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's immense and uh, it's almost
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: as if, Look, if you want to get a defensive
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: coordinator position, go to Baltimore. Okay, be uh, just a
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: low level guy on defense, advanced to a position and
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: then you're gonna be a defensive coordinator one day. And
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: then for many years it was automatic defensive coordinator for Baltimore. Ravens,
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: guess what, you're a head coach in the waiting, You're
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: coming out of Baltimore. Yeah, I mean, look, it's been
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: there for a long time, Jeff, going back to when
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: we played together in the mid nineties, Baltimore has always
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: been known for their defense and the way they've consistently
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: kind of built that team in that program around the toughness,
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: the physicality and aggressiveness of the defense. And I just
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: hope like that can pop up in Xonville, because you
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: would like to see kind of a defensive oriented, defensive
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: centric team because at the end of the day, the
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: teams that separate themselves are the ones that can get stops.
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: All of the teams that continue to play in the
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: final four, our teams that can stop people when you
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: need to, And I think it has to be a
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: part of the program going forward. I cannot agree more.
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: In Buckey, I want your opinion on this as well.
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: We talked a couple of segments ago about the offensive
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: coordinator position, Scotland Ahan Anthony Lynn. I have question marks
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: around both, but there's also positives about both. And we said,
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: you know, chaina command, who do you call offensive coordinator?
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: Can Can they be a tie? Can you have both
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: of them? Because they're both pre qualified? You know, I
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: think there's a way that you can do it. Like
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: it really just depends and a lot of it depends
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: on the ego. I'll talk about Anthony land first and
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn. What you're hoping to get is what is
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: the soup dejour, meaning that Shanahan run game that system
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: because that system has made um average players, good good
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: players into superstars. And so if you can get that
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: offensive system where you got the offensive line working on tracks,
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: you have running backs that are down here one cult
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: runners who James Robinson certainly fits the build, and that
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: you now can run. You can run the ball, and
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: it takes so much pressure off your quarterback. In a
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: perfect world, if you can take Anthony Lynn with that
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: run game and then match him up with Scott Linahan
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: and what he's been able to do in the passing game,
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: yes it would be great. I will say this about
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: Scott Linahan. A lot of people will kind of go
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: back and forth in him and hall On Lenahan, But
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: if you look at the work that he did in
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: Dallas with Dak Prescott, young quarterback got him up and going.
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: Now they had pieces in place, meaning the offensive line
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: was solidified, they had a running back in Ezekiel Elliott,
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: and as Dad got better, he grew from being what
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: I would call a game manager to being more of
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: a playmaker. Even though we can celebrate and go crazy
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: over what Trevor Lawrence potentially could be if he is
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: to pick, you have to remember it's a young quarterback.
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: You don't want to task him with too much of that.
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: You want to be able to have a balanced offense
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: that allows the quarterback to grow into being a playmaker.
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: You don't want to ask them to be a playmaker
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: in your one. Yeah, you gotta take your pressure off
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: of them. And that's and it's funny that you talk
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: about Dallas and and how Scott Linehan was able to
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: help out Dak Prescott when well, you brought up a
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: good point and that well, that offensive line and Ezeko
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: Elliott was what made Scott Linehan good and what made
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: Dak Prescott have the time to be able to develop.
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: I mean again, I mean even though we talk about
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: coaches being important, and they are very important, and you
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: can question offensive coordinators every day and three times on Sunday,
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: but when you start to have really good players, it
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: becomes harder to question offensive coordinators. Absolutely, it's a it's
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: a player's game, and that is the number one thing
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: and we have to keep that in mind. As much
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: as we may talk about the position coaches and the coordinators.
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: The number one job first of the gentlemanager in urban
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: you got to bring in a level players because the
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: better the players are, the better it is that you
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: look as a coach. And so if we can bring
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: in a number of five star players that can come
- 1:39:08Speaker 1: in and have impact, because you need impact players to
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: really change the course of the franchise, that helps all
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: coaches look better. Better players better team, better team to
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: get more wins. Everyone's excited. Jeff and I are smiling.
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: We're not improved in this fifteen game loser streak and
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: trying to find a clicker and trying to find the
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: good stuff. Everybody's better when we start winning games and
- 1:39:29Speaker 1: the stars were better players. I can tell you this, Ashland,
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: I can tell you I can be the best defensive
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: line coach and football. Give me Aaron Donald. Give me
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, and I can coach him up, but I
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: can do it. I'll be I'll be one of the
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: best defensive line coaches in the league. Give me Aaron Donald. Alright.

- 1:42:35Speaker 1: Jeff Logman on a Thursday. If you have not teams
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: into Trent Fawkey's introductory press conference day and general manager
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, check it out right now on Jaguars
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: dot com. And a topic that's been floating around that
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, Jeff, I giggle out a little. Now,
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: it's shocking. I'm not a head coach, I'm not a scout.
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: I know that's shocking to you. But the debates on
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: if they will take Trevor Lawrence number one, Coach Meyer said,
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna look at all the quarterbacks. There's
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: a lot of options, are there? No, No, there, there's
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: no options. Uh. The option has just to take Trevor
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: Lawrence or do not take Trevor Lawrence and make a
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: huge mistake. I've had the chance to watch the film
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence. I've watched a little bit of the
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: quarterback of b y U and watch a little bit
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: of the quarterback of Ohio State. And for me, it's
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: hands down, it's an easy decision. Trevor Lawrence is your guy.
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: And uh, I don't want to say that he is
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: on par with some of the armed talent that Patrick
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: Mahomes showed when when he was in college, but the
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: consistency with Trevor Lawrence is amazing, and for me, that's, uh,
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: that makes it a very easy decision. He's got everything,
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: He's got all the measurables, he's got the intangibles, He's
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: been a winner everywhere he's been, and uh, there's nothing
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: not to like with Trevor Lawrence. I'm not saying he
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: can't miss, because you can always miss and because you
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: you don't know exactly what the mental makeup is. But
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: I mean history gives you the greatest indication, and his
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: history is impeccable. Yes, spot on, clear favorites. And now
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: we're curious to see if they do draft Trevor Lawrence,
- 1:44:13Speaker 1: what do they do with the weapons around him? And
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: one of the to do list questions was do you
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: give d J. Chark a contract? Do you resign Keelan Cole?
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: What do you do with these weapons given to Trevor Lawrence?
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: While these weapons don't have a contract. So I mean
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: you've got to You've got to figure a way out
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: to uh to try to bring as many back as possible.
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: I'm a big believer and that, uh are you. Ah,
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: Let's say you've got a fine wine collection, right, you know,
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: because some people do. Or you've got a collection of
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: some kind and you only have room for let's say
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: twenty pieces in this collection. I don't want to take
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: one of them down until I find one that's better
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: that I can put up there, and so I'm a
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: big believer in that you try to retain all the
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: talent that you can and then you don't replace until
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: you find somebody that's clearly handed down better. So Cam Robinson,
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: you try to keep them and resign them. But then
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: in the process of acquiring talent, whether it's free agency
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: or the draft, because my expectation is a lot of
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: the free agents that you acquire this year or you
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: keep this year are going to be done on short
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: term deals because of the cab which is actually advantageous
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: for the situation the Jaguars n because now you can
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: keep that jar on the shelf another term, and then
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: when you decide to replace it, you've got a better one.
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: And then you take that one off the shelf, you
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: put a better one out there, so you don't you
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: don't get better by losing talent. You get better by
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: keeping the talent and replacing it with better talent. Very
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: simple math, Yes, very sim smart man, smart man, simple math. Alright,
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: coming up on Jaguars Happy or we're talking much more
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: about that free agency draft, all these things going on
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: in the off season. We have much more coming up

- 1:49:13Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon of Jaguars Happy Hour Ashland Sullivan and Jeff
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: Logman here new head coach in the building and being
- 1:49:20Speaker 1: general manager in the building. And rightfully so many Jaguars
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: fans are exciting. Jeff. You're walking around town, you're at publics,
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: you're hearing all the excitement buzzing. And I have a
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: stat for you from the Jaguars ticket office themselves. This
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: is twenty four hours after an urban Meyer was head
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: was announced the head coach. The Jaguars ticket department says
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: fifty percent of their ticket deposits came just twenty four
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: hours after the head coach was announced. From today till
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: last year, eight times with the Jaguars, ticket sales were
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: going way up. And I don't blame them. People are
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: excited and they should be well and rightly so. And um,
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be exciting. And it's not just
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: about urban Meyer. It's also about the prospect of Trevor Lawrence.
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: And so it makes that that the combination of of
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: all the change obviously gives you hope. And that's what
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: I think the fan base was really looking for was hope.
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: And now you got it. You got a proven coach,
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: one of the top three of all time, win percentage
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: that that coached in college football. And what is probably
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: most impressive about his track record is not what he
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: did at Florida or what he did in Ohio State.
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: It's what he did that Utah. It's what he did
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: at Bowling Green and taking those programs and turning around,
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: turning them around instantly in one year. And also the
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: prospect of having one of the winningest college quarterbacks in
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: history here and uh and I can honestly tell you
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: this excellent. I've never ever been a guy to root
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: for this team to lose for draft position. I found
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: myself rooting for this team to lose this year. You're
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: one of those guys. You weren't the only one. Well look,
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: you missed out and opportunities in the past to drift
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: quarterback and those are very well documented from the Shawn
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: Watson to Patrick Mahomes to to take your pick. And
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: here you are with an opportunity, and if you win
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: one game and the Jets ended up you know, losing
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: a game, everything could be different. And uh so, I
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: gotta say that it was. It was a very good
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: week the last week of the season because the draft
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: position was already decided and the weeks prior to that,
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: I was I might have found myself rooting for certain
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: things to happen that I shouldn't have been doing. You know,
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: you weren't the only one. I well, I look, I
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: won't look at here. Here's the reality. I always root
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: for this team to win because of the relationships that
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: I have with coaches and the players, and you want
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: them to have success. But somewhere deep down inside of me,
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: there was that you know that that that little devil
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: guy that's had on the shoulder, the guy okay, and
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: then you had the other guy, that little devils on
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: the shoulder going Jacks lose Jack Louise, draft pick, traft pick,
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: traft pick. So it's fair, it's fair. And I will say,
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: we saw the stat about the ticket office. If the
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: Jaguars draft Trevor Lawrence number one, like we all expect
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: them to do. I just want to be a fly
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: on the wall and that ticket office. I hope they're
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: fully stabbed right when that card goes in, because if
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: that was what it was for just the head coach
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: to be announced, can you imagine ticket sales the city
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: when the quarterback is locked in? Oh, it's it's certainly
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: going to be a big boost. And you know there
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: were some that, uh that here, here's the crazy thing
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: I got as you probably do too because you're Florida girl, right, Okay,
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: you probably have some friends that are not fans of
- 1:52:48Speaker 1: bourbon Meyer but appreciate the fact that the guy wins.
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: But they get it. Yeah, they get it. I mean look,
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: I mean, look, you may not like him because he
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: left your program, and and maybe some of the circumstances
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: weren't where he left, but the fact remains he won,
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: and so if you didn't leave, they'd still love him.
- 1:53:07Speaker 1: And so now with him having an opportunity to take
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: your pro football team and win, people can forget about
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: some of maybe the things that maybe made them upset
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: from before. And there's people at Ohio State that probably
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: a little upset with how some of the things went
- 1:53:22Speaker 1: down with urban Meyer leaving, and it looked I don't
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: don't care about liking my coach as long as he
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: can win. And people understand that urban Meyer can help
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: this football team win. Yeah, you don't have to go
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: to dinner with him, you don't have to go to
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: lunch with him. He's here to win football games. And
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: I had someone come up to me and they said, well,
- 1:53:38Speaker 1: you know, he's only one when he's been given the resources.
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: Whin I mean, look at Ohio State, look at Florida.
- 1:53:42Speaker 1: He has the best recruits in the nation, the best facilities.
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: But then you look at something like Bowling Green. You
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: mean to tell me that wasn't a good coach when
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: when when it was put out there that he may
- 1:53:53Speaker 1: in fact be highed. That's one of the things I
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: went and looked at and wanted to go look at
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: all of his coaching record, and I didn't focus on
- 1:53:59Speaker 1: the floor to in the Ohio State stuff. I focused
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: in on the first time year and first year is
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: at Utah and then also at Bowling Green, and that
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: impressed the hell out of me. Needless to say, the
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: guy knows how to win. Now he's the head coach
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. We have one more segment coming up,

- 1:57:42Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan Jeff Logman here on Thursday, getting ready for
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: a busy Sunday championship games. You have Sunday three o'clock
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Green Bay, Sunday six thirty Buffalo in Kansas City.
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: I was telling Jeff in the break that this is
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: Buffaloes year calling, so what do you what's your story
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: with Buffalo? What what do you got invested in Buffalo?
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: I just think was a weird year. So why not
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: make it any weirder and have the Buffalo Bills win
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in front of all these other teams
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: that are historic and all this. They're really good. I look,
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: I I think they're They're general manager and coach have
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: done an amazing job. Their young quarterback has made a
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: great progression and his accuracy has gone where people didn't
- 1:58:27Speaker 1: think that it could go. And he is certainly uh
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: an elite athlete as well as having armed talent. It's
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: gonna be a great battle two young quarterbacks. I just
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: don't think that if Patrick Mahomes plays and he doesn't
- 1:58:39Speaker 1: have any ill effects from the concussion, I just don't
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: see Kansas City losing. But it should be a great
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: football game and I can't wait to see Aaron Rodgerson
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: Tom Brady Championship game for Tom Brady? Are you kidding me?
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: And just to imagine that if Tampa Bay does win
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: that game, they play the first year that Tom Brady
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: is the quarter back in the Super Bowl in their city.
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: He can't write it up better than that. Are you taking?
- 1:59:05Speaker 1: You're taking Buffalo? Obviou take it? I think Buffalo and
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: Green Bay, Green Bay. If you don't beat Aaron Rodgers,
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: you just don't. But you also can say the same
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: for Tom Brady. I'm gonna do the exact option I'm taking.
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: I'm taking Kansas City, Patrick Mahomes and uh and I'm
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: taking Tom Brady in the bus. Wow. Now that is
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: a game to watch. Okay, Well, then who wins with that?
- 1:59:27Speaker 1: Cam City? Kan City wins it all? They did that?
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: You know that's the cancer. You're good. We never thought
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: there could be a Tom Brady, but we might be
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: watching the next one right now. Yes we will, and
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: hopefully the Jaguars get their next Tom Brady, the Jaguars
- 1:59:39Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Talk lots about that in this program.
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: And that is Jaguars Happy Hour. Ashton Sullivan, Jeff Longman.
