0:13
Speaker 1: Time starts right now. We're able to help a lot
0:18
Speaker 1: of families who have a child with cancer. And if
0:21
Speaker 1: you see what we all went through last night, the
0:25
Speaker 1: introduction of some of the kids that are patients. You know,
0:28
Speaker 1: they're artists, are so on and so forth, but they're
0:30
Speaker 1: all fighting some stage of cancer and your heart goes
0:34
Speaker 1: out to them and their families because they're Uh, if
0:37
Speaker 1: you haven't been through it, I don't think any of
0:38
Speaker 1: us from the position even know what is like. I'm
0:43
Speaker 1: Jaguars Executive vice President of Football Operations, Tom Coughlin talking
0:47
Speaker 1: about a great Sunday night and a great Monday at
0:50
Speaker 1: the Tom Coughlin j Fund. Now our focus switches to
0:53
Speaker 1: football the start of O t a s today on
0:56
Speaker 1: Jaguars Drag, and we have a lot to talk about.
0:58
Speaker 1: One of them being unique and Guay present for odes.
1:00
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from him later on this afternoon, but
1:02
Speaker 1: first welcome, we're switching up the table a little bit.
1:07
Speaker 1: I finally got away from John. I feel off balance,
1:10
Speaker 1: my right hand over my left hand. It's not good.
1:13
Speaker 1: It's not good. Do you think it has a chance
1:15
Speaker 1: to go? Is something good? Or will it be this way? Change?
1:19
Speaker 1: Never better? That's my well, I'm embracing it. It's a
1:24
Speaker 1: little crowded over there, but I think you guys will
1:26
Speaker 1: be now I I have some room over here. I
1:29
Speaker 1: want to say. We're some real quick about the the
1:31
Speaker 1: Jay Fund, and I obviously have been involved in that
1:33
Speaker 1: since the beginning. It's the four event on on Sunday night.
1:38
Speaker 1: Being talking to some people, some people who were new
1:40
Speaker 1: to the j Fund who hadn't been there before, uh,
1:42
Speaker 1: and some longtime guests who had been there since the
1:44
Speaker 1: very beginning. We were trying to we're trying to name
1:47
Speaker 1: another coach. It'll always be the coach. You call him
1:49
Speaker 1: executive vice president whatever, but he's he's coach Um who
1:53
Speaker 1: had a foundation left in the foundation flourished, it came
1:57
Speaker 1: back forgetting coming back an executive leaving their market and
2:03
Speaker 1: having the Jay Fund, which did thrive in his absence.
2:06
Speaker 1: In fact, the fact he was the coach of the Giants.
2:08
Speaker 1: The Jay Front grew and grew, and group raised almost
2:10
Speaker 1: six d thousand dollars Sunday and Monday. Um, that's a
2:15
Speaker 1: heck of a legacy for anybody, let alone a football coach.
2:19
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Tom and Kelly and the Jay Fund
2:21
Speaker 1: and everyone involved in it, because it could have fallen apart,
2:25
Speaker 1: and that would have been a dramatic problem for the families,
2:29
Speaker 1: some of whom you met the other night. Uh. Instead,
2:32
Speaker 1: it it continued and it didn't just trudge on. It
2:36
Speaker 1: grew rapidly. It was amazing. I think it speaks first
2:39
Speaker 1: to this sincerity. And I remember, and not nineties six,
2:42
Speaker 1: I think it was when he when it got started. First.
2:44
Speaker 1: I remember reading Pete Prisco's story in the paper about it. Uh.
2:49
Speaker 1: And this was back when there was still an education
2:52
Speaker 1: process over you know, who Jay had been, Why this
2:56
Speaker 1: meant so much to Tom, etcetera, etcetera. And Uh, you know,
3:00
Speaker 1: time you read a story and you know, it's not
3:03
Speaker 1: an uncommon story to read a coach affected by a
3:08
Speaker 1: former player wants to start a foundation. Um, what is
3:11
Speaker 1: uncommon is, as you say, Brian, to have it last
3:14
Speaker 1: for twenty four years, to have it last in the
3:16
Speaker 1: absence it certainly speaks to the you know, the sincerity
3:22
Speaker 1: that Tom always felt to the cause and his family
3:25
Speaker 1: and the people who have gone it is rare and
3:28
Speaker 1: it's uh. You know, however, I was saying yesterday we
3:33
Speaker 1: said gett lost fans, I get get most fans all
3:36
Speaker 1: the time criticizing Tom for this or this or this.
3:38
Speaker 1: When you're in in his position, you're going to take
3:40
Speaker 1: that kind of criticism. What can never be criticized is
3:43
Speaker 1: his dedication to this and the realness for him that
3:46
Speaker 1: this is. And you know much better than I. Right well,
3:48
Speaker 1: and you saw it for the first time, it was
3:50
Speaker 1: it was. It's worthy of a couple of extra moments
3:52
Speaker 1: to make sure that people understand the commitment that he
3:56
Speaker 1: and Kelly and Judy and all everyone made um. But
3:59
Speaker 1: to understand this thing is it's momentum. I mean, if
4:02
Speaker 1: Tom were to pick up and go somewhere else, the
4:03
Speaker 1: j Fund would still continue to go. They've raised more
4:06
Speaker 1: than eleven million dollars in twenty four years. You see
4:08
Speaker 1: a completely different side to him as Wellish I thought
4:10
Speaker 1: was the most interesting party without a doubt. All right,
4:13
Speaker 1: let's get into big thing one, which is what is
4:16
Speaker 1: an O t A? What are these organized team activities?
4:18
Speaker 1: A lot of people think it's just another practice for
4:20
Speaker 1: that is far from it. This is the start of
4:22
Speaker 1: the two thousand nineteen season. It's the start where these
4:25
Speaker 1: two defense and offense get to go against each other.
4:27
Speaker 1: It's the start of football. Guys. Well, an O t
4:32
Speaker 1: A is a legal term. Yeah, I mean this is
4:34
Speaker 1: a collective bargaining agreement. Is what it is? It it
4:37
Speaker 1: um when when they put the current CYBA together, they
4:40
Speaker 1: didn't want them practicing, right, They didn't want it to
4:43
Speaker 1: be a full tilt practice effort on the field, but
4:47
Speaker 1: they wanted the coaches to be able to because the
4:49
Speaker 1: time was squeezed as we all know, they wanted them
4:51
Speaker 1: to be able to get out there and go through concepts.
4:53
Speaker 1: They wanted to be able to work without practicing. If
4:57
Speaker 1: you can make sense of that, it's it's it's it's
5:02
Speaker 1: the you know what it where it causes confusion, is
5:08
Speaker 1: I get emails and Jaguars have a mini camp in June.
5:12
Speaker 1: That's when they really ratchet it up, right, No, it's
5:14
Speaker 1: it's the same exact thing, except you technically have to
5:16
Speaker 1: be here. Um. It's fine. They'll they'll get out there
5:22
Speaker 1: and it'll be fun to watch the receivers. I think
5:24
Speaker 1: it's important for Nick Foles and the receivers. I think
5:27
Speaker 1: that's where the importance lies. For offensive linemen. Uh, you
5:31
Speaker 1: know they're watching. That's beyond I mean, they can work
5:35
Speaker 1: on footwork, but you're not gonna see if Andrew Norwell
5:38
Speaker 1: is beating uh Marcel dar is all that stuff is.
5:42
Speaker 1: It's important for the receivers and the quarterbacks, and if
5:48
Speaker 1: it wasn't their first year, I would question how important
5:50
Speaker 1: it is for them. I'm not a big O t
5:53
Speaker 1: A guy, but I can see that I'll be out there,
5:55
Speaker 1: You'll be out there in your big hats. It was
5:58
Speaker 1: a way to get this and not have it violate
6:02
Speaker 1: the spirit of you collective barking agreement where they wanted
6:05
Speaker 1: less on field time practicing. Hopefully there's more opportunities later
6:08
Speaker 1: in the show for me to say how much I
6:10
Speaker 1: dislike O. T. A. I'm sure there will be. We'll
6:12
Speaker 1: be talking about a lot. Brian loves it might be
6:16
Speaker 1: open well. The storyline of the day, no doubt, is
6:18
Speaker 1: that Unique and Gay will be in this building. That
6:21
Speaker 1: was unsure a week ago if he was going to
6:22
Speaker 1: show up because of the contract negotiations and whether they
6:24
Speaker 1: were going to get a deal done, it wasn't a
6:26
Speaker 1: sure thing. That he was going to be here well,
6:28
Speaker 1: and and look when Ruben Foster went down yesterday with
6:31
Speaker 1: the a C L at the Redskins O T A,
6:34
Speaker 1: I thought, I wonder if he's gonna show right, because look,
6:36
Speaker 1: that's what they're trying to guard against. So I wondered
6:39
Speaker 1: if any of mit show that injury. Yeah, yeah, they
6:41
Speaker 1: don't want to get injured in May and not get paid.
6:45
Speaker 1: Here's what I like about it. He's putting his money
6:47
Speaker 1: where his mouth is, right, He's coming out and he
6:50
Speaker 1: is going to work to earn it. That's the way
6:52
Speaker 1: his career has ruled out as a third round pick,
6:55
Speaker 1: He's always played with a chip on his shoulder. He's
6:57
Speaker 1: always been willing to prove himself. So why should that
6:59
Speaker 1: change out as he's on the cusp of a big contract.
7:03
Speaker 1: The person, the player is the guy that we're watching
7:07
Speaker 1: right now. It's all effort. Well, don't change that now, right.
7:12
Speaker 1: I go back to last season when he talked in
7:14
Speaker 1: the locker rooms saying, next year, I want to see
7:15
Speaker 1: on my chest. If you're not here for this, how
7:17
Speaker 1: can you expect to have that see on your chest?
7:19
Speaker 1: John Well? I think he made his point and clearly
7:24
Speaker 1: he was here at the beginning of the voluntary period.
7:28
Speaker 1: I get him all mixed up. Whatever period. Uh, he
7:32
Speaker 1: was here for the beginning of that, and then he left,
7:34
Speaker 1: and he made his point. He's been a topic where
7:37
Speaker 1: this topic flourishes on Twitter, oz own mailbag, people talking
7:42
Speaker 1: about the Jaguars. They've known that Unique wasn't here. They've
7:47
Speaker 1: known why it's become a topic. They you know, if
7:50
Speaker 1: the front office didn't realize that his contract was coming
7:54
Speaker 1: up for negotiation, which news flash, I think they already knew,
7:56
Speaker 1: but you know it's out there now. Today he was
8:00
Speaker 1: speak after practice. He'll be the topic. It'll be a topic.
8:03
Speaker 1: This is the way to get it talked about. He
8:05
Speaker 1: made his point. And now if he if he felt
8:10
Speaker 1: like he was falling behind in some way by not
8:13
Speaker 1: being here, which again for a defensive end, I don't
8:15
Speaker 1: know that he really would have been falling behind if
8:17
Speaker 1: he hadn't been here, but it shows a good faith effort.
8:21
Speaker 1: I think if you're if you're trying to figure out
8:26
Speaker 1: you know, how to win the hearts of the fans,
8:29
Speaker 1: where perfect way to do it. You're gone for the
8:31
Speaker 1: voluntary part that's not really high profile. You're back for
8:35
Speaker 1: the part that is high profile. You know, I say, hey,
8:37
Speaker 1: I came, I came to ot as, I did what
8:39
Speaker 1: you asked me. So good political move on business, I
8:42
Speaker 1: guess uh. And I never thought that any of this
8:46
Speaker 1: for him would run into anything mandatory because for him, remember,
8:49
Speaker 1: he's got to get sacks. He's got to have a
8:51
Speaker 1: good year. If he doesn't sign his contract, he really
8:55
Speaker 1: needs to have a good year. He needs sex. There
8:57
Speaker 1: are players who could come in Clay's campbell, for example,
9:01
Speaker 1: I could come in next year if he's in a
9:03
Speaker 1: contract year, not have numbers and still valuable. Unique must
9:06
Speaker 1: get sacked and he must play at a high level
9:08
Speaker 1: next year. There's a time for business, there's a time
9:10
Speaker 1: for football. This is technically still the time for business.
9:12
Speaker 1: But it shows something about who Unique is that he
9:15
Speaker 1: comes in for football during business season. Alright, big thing
9:19
Speaker 1: too is stepping up now. Who is stepping up? That
9:21
Speaker 1: is Miles Jack, middle linebacker who says he's very confident
9:25
Speaker 1: that he will be the mic linebacker this year. Oh yeah,
9:28
Speaker 1: playing Mike back. There's no question about it. We're obviously,
9:32
Speaker 1: you know, there's no secret. We're gonna have to find
9:33
Speaker 1: a will and that's what it closes to the side.
9:36
Speaker 1: But that's for me. I'm playing Mike Green. It's what
9:39
Speaker 1: time of Grand Texas. It's no update on Talvin Smith.
9:44
Speaker 1: There's no really any news on Talvin Smith except but
9:46
Speaker 1: he's still not here. So Miles Jack last week at
9:49
Speaker 1: the Calais Campbell Bowling Classic address, you know there's no
9:51
Speaker 1: secret that they're gonna need to fill that spot. Watching him,
9:56
Speaker 1: you see, the athleticism is just undeniable. You're talking about
9:59
Speaker 1: a big middle backer who runs as well as he does,
10:04
Speaker 1: who hits, he gets you sacks, interceptions, tip balls, forced fumbles.
10:09
Speaker 1: He's a complete player. Um. Last year was the first
10:12
Speaker 1: full year in the middle. If I'm Todd Wash, that's
10:17
Speaker 1: my only guy in the middle now. Although I understand
10:19
Speaker 1: without Telvin you think about what can he do on
10:21
Speaker 1: the week side for you until Quincy Williams is ready
10:24
Speaker 1: to go in, or do you move him to the
10:26
Speaker 1: strong side and put Jake Ryan inside. I mean, there's
10:28
Speaker 1: a lot of different options they've got because of the numbers,
10:30
Speaker 1: but that's your best all around linebacker. Middle is your
10:34
Speaker 1: most important position in that crew. I want to see
10:37
Speaker 1: him there too. Yeah, it as you said, Bryan putting
10:42
Speaker 1: Miles that week is tempting because of all he could
10:44
Speaker 1: do there, But you've moved him around so much. If
10:48
Speaker 1: you moved him again, this would basically the fourth year
10:50
Speaker 1: in a row that he's playing a different role than
10:52
Speaker 1: they did the year before. He's calling the defense. Uh,
10:57
Speaker 1: I don't think there is worried about the week sideline
11:00
Speaker 1: backer position as the fans are. Um. Yeah, asked me
11:03
Speaker 1: the other day, you can do a week he is.
11:06
Speaker 1: His person said, we have Quincy Willens. So that's what
11:10
Speaker 1: they think is going to happen. And they think he's
11:11
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Now that's a little you know, presumptuous. Yeah,
11:15
Speaker 1: for a kid. That's it's still got to happen, but
11:19
Speaker 1: it certainly gives you an idea. Whatever happens at strong
11:23
Speaker 1: side is it's sort of whatever thing because it's a
11:28
Speaker 1: base situation. You showed last year. You can put Leon
11:30
Speaker 1: Jacob's there, You'll be fine. If josh Alan comes along,
11:33
Speaker 1: can play it fine. Miles needs to be in the medal,
11:36
Speaker 1: call the defense and keep that continuity. A couple of things.
11:38
Speaker 1: Miles has coming up on a contract too, So this
11:40
Speaker 1: is a big year for him because this is his
11:43
Speaker 1: fourth year. The other thing is, and I think people
11:45
Speaker 1: have forgotten this. We've seen a lot of big place
11:47
Speaker 1: from Miles we haven't seen the unique and Goackway stardom
11:50
Speaker 1: from Miles right, or the Jalen Ramsey, who were the
11:52
Speaker 1: other of the three picks off the top of the
11:55
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen draft with the Jaguars. But we're
11:58
Speaker 1: talking about a guy who before knee injury became an issue,
12:01
Speaker 1: the meniscus became an issue, he was thought to be
12:03
Speaker 1: a top five player. In fact, I can recall listening
12:07
Speaker 1: to the draft experts talk about Jalen Ramsey and Miles
12:11
Speaker 1: Jack being maybe the best non quarterbacks in that two
12:14
Speaker 1: thousand sixteen crop. Right, So Myles Jack is he's not
12:19
Speaker 1: as vocal at this moment as Unique and got Way
12:21
Speaker 1: is about a new deal. But you can bet playing
12:23
Speaker 1: in the middle he wants the new deal. He wants
12:26
Speaker 1: to stay right where he's at and give himself the
12:28
Speaker 1: best chance to perform at the highest level both for
12:30
Speaker 1: the team in his own financial future. And he was
12:32
Speaker 1: on the cusp of that superstart him after the O
12:34
Speaker 1: seventeen player when he in each of those games, Remember
12:38
Speaker 1: he had a huge game turning play he had he
12:41
Speaker 1: tipped the ball for Colan's interception out here, and he
12:43
Speaker 1: had to win. Everybody remembers against Pittsburgh and I had
12:45
Speaker 1: a touchdown that should have been Um. His goal entering
12:49
Speaker 1: last season was to be that guy consistently. Really didn't
12:53
Speaker 1: happen because you know, I think still Ottaway didn't happen
12:56
Speaker 1: with the offense wasn't scoring points and defense didn't have
12:58
Speaker 1: a chance for takeaways. Uh, It'll be interesting to see
13:01
Speaker 1: what can happen when there's more opportunities for takeaways and
13:03
Speaker 1: how Miles takes advantage of that, because he was very
13:06
Speaker 1: close to be in a Megastars Megastar superstar after seventeen,
13:11
Speaker 1: and you wonder if that will happen in nineteen. It's interesting.
13:14
Speaker 1: Um two years ago he was the third linebacker in
13:16
Speaker 1: the room with puzz Lesnie and Telvin, and now he's
13:21
Speaker 1: the number one dog right unexpectedly, but time to step up,
13:24
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Big thing three is the quarterback Nick Foles.
13:27
Speaker 1: Maybe one of his first public appearances in Jacksonville over
13:29
Speaker 1: the weekend at the Tom Coughlin j Fund and said,
13:32
Speaker 1: really he's just excited to get back on the field.
13:35
Speaker 1: I think when you get to go on the practice
13:37
Speaker 1: field and be with the guys, that's when you start
13:38
Speaker 1: getting to see a lot and get to coach a lot,
13:40
Speaker 1: and you know, don't be afraid to make mistakes. So
13:42
Speaker 1: we had to go against one of the best defenses
13:44
Speaker 1: in the league. And the biggest thing is we get
13:46
Speaker 1: to make each other better. And that's the best part
13:48
Speaker 1: about you know, this team game is this time of year,
13:50
Speaker 1: we're going to compete against each other to help each other.
13:52
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to go out there tomorrow and just
13:54
Speaker 1: keep this process going. Guys. That's the storyline of the day, really.
13:59
Speaker 1: But I unique and Gogway is this is the first
14:01
Speaker 1: time we're seeing him on the field with this a team,
14:03
Speaker 1: and John touched on how important it is for him
14:05
Speaker 1: and the receivers. I just want to share a quick story.
14:07
Speaker 1: So I was out there at the j Fund Golf
14:09
Speaker 1: tournament yesterday and I won't share what he said because
14:12
Speaker 1: it was a private conversation with the group that he
14:14
Speaker 1: was playing with, but I'll give you the takeaways. I
14:17
Speaker 1: listened to him. He knew where everyone was working out,
14:20
Speaker 1: what they were doing, how guys were getting ready. In
14:23
Speaker 1: other words, he has his hands around this offense. Right,
14:27
Speaker 1: He's only been here a short time, but he knows
14:30
Speaker 1: what everyone is doing. He's talking to them, he's getting
14:33
Speaker 1: them ready and sharing the expectation of what it takes
14:37
Speaker 1: to be a playoff caliber football team. When he signed
14:42
Speaker 1: a quarterback for that kind of money, you expected, you're
14:44
Speaker 1: not just signing the arm You're you're hoping that you're
14:47
Speaker 1: getting everything Brian's talking about, Which is the guy the leader? Uh,
14:51
Speaker 1: you know the glue if you will, um I said earlier,
14:55
Speaker 1: and I joked, THET s aren' important. Always important for
14:58
Speaker 1: the quarterback to be there in a because everything else
15:00
Speaker 1: starts there. And that's where timing is. If O T
15:02
Speaker 1: A s have value, and they do in this sense,
15:05
Speaker 1: it's about getting that timing. It's about the quarterback establishing,
15:09
Speaker 1: uh that he's the rhythm of the offense. Tom Brady
15:13
Speaker 1: is famously missing O T as the last couple of years.
15:16
Speaker 1: Well that's a nineteen year guy who's been doing it forever.
15:19
Speaker 1: Um typically the one guy who has to have attendants
15:23
Speaker 1: because it all arose around him as a quarterback. So
15:25
Speaker 1: he's obviously the story and uh, we'll get to a
15:28
Speaker 1: lot of that later because that's one of our things.
15:29
Speaker 1: The other thing we're talking about was it listening to him.
15:34
Speaker 1: He was talking to players around the league, getting a
15:36
Speaker 1: sense of both coaches and players who are already here.
15:38
Speaker 1: Guys that played college with them, guys play with him
15:41
Speaker 1: another NFL stops, guys who have been coached by these guys.
15:44
Speaker 1: He has done an enormous amount of homework. Again, just
15:46
Speaker 1: you know, standing there and listening to him talk. Uh,
15:49
Speaker 1: it's clear he's plugged in and ready to go. When
15:51
Speaker 1: does he sleep when he spent time with a family. Well,
15:53
Speaker 1: I think there's time for that. Okay's working. Let's quickly
15:58
Speaker 1: address Sunday night. Brian. You were there and saw at
16:00
Speaker 1: the moment when he brought in Savannah, an eight year
16:03
Speaker 1: old patient, when the Tom Coughlin j Fund, they said
16:05
Speaker 1: that they talked about Harry Potter and what it was
16:08
Speaker 1: the teen Titans before they came in, and Savannah asked, heya,
16:11
Speaker 1: can we go together? I'm a little nervous. Well, it
16:13
Speaker 1: was cool. It was the moment of the night. So
16:15
Speaker 1: they opened the doors and Dan Hicken and I are
16:17
Speaker 1: up there and we you know, each have a card
16:19
Speaker 1: in our hand and we're alternating cards. To introduce the
16:21
Speaker 1: celebrities who were coming up, and Dan is about to
16:24
Speaker 1: introduce and does introduce the little girl. I had Nick's
16:27
Speaker 1: card in my hand because he was right behind her,
16:30
Speaker 1: and those lights that are on them, well, there was
16:32
Speaker 1: always blinding. I couldn't even see who it was caring
16:35
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until he got close enough that he
16:37
Speaker 1: kind of stepped out of the spotlight that oh, that's Nick.
16:39
Speaker 1: I better read his card At that time. It caught
16:43
Speaker 1: everybody off guard that he just grabbed ahold of that.
16:46
Speaker 1: Not that he's not engaging, he clearly is. He's terrific um,
16:50
Speaker 1: but we just didn't We didn't know that about him.
16:52
Speaker 1: So when he picked up that little girl, it was
16:57
Speaker 1: it would have a metaphor not a metaphor what am
17:00
Speaker 1: I trying to think? Say? It was a signed to
17:03
Speaker 1: me that he has fully embraced being the quarterback at Jacksonville. Yeah,
17:06
Speaker 1: it was pretty special and just give up his own
17:08
Speaker 1: moment and make it all about her, which was the
17:10
Speaker 1: purpose of the selfless leadership. Which cool. All right, when
17:14
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll have some storylines to watch on

19:16
Speaker 1: There's still lines there straight, They're not bright and white.
19:19
Speaker 1: That fires John up. Still there's lines in the backers,
19:21
Speaker 1: straight and white. The ones where Alba standing, Yeah, the
19:23
Speaker 1: ones on the artificial turf not we where's the little
19:28
Speaker 1: more defined? Do not see any shade out there? Maybe
19:31
Speaker 1: you should request one? This is yourself. I had a
19:36
Speaker 1: really bad feeling watching that scene just then because I
19:39
Speaker 1: see no bleacher, I see no I see no canopy.
19:42
Speaker 1: I'm a big canopy guy. Ran, Yeah, we're gonna happy.
19:45
Speaker 1: Yeah it didn't. It didn't vode well for my day.
19:48
Speaker 1: It's a sunscreen, the big broad hat. Yeah, well it's
19:51
Speaker 1: maybe there's a bleacher I can get under. I don't
19:52
Speaker 1: know whether you have picked up on this in a
19:54
Speaker 1: couple of years. You worked with John, but he's not
19:55
Speaker 1: a fan of O T A S. What get out
19:58
Speaker 1: of town? I'm not a fan of outside. Put that way,
20:01
Speaker 1: big air conditioning guy. We're gonna have O T he's
20:03
Speaker 1: out in the indoor complex. Let's do that. Sign us
20:05
Speaker 1: up all right? With that, we have some storylines to
20:08
Speaker 1: watch during this three week period of O T A
20:11
Speaker 1: S and Brian Yours is pretty interesting because we haven't
20:13
Speaker 1: seen this guy in a while. Well, and look, we
20:15
Speaker 1: already had the conversation about how it's tough to judge
20:17
Speaker 1: the offensive a defensive lineman. But Cam Robinson coming back
20:21
Speaker 1: this year is a key component on the offense because
20:24
Speaker 1: you spent the money on the quarterback. Now you gotta
20:26
Speaker 1: keep him up. Right from everything I hear, we won't hear,
20:29
Speaker 1: Joan Taylor has to earn the starting job at right tackle.
20:33
Speaker 1: There is very little doubt that he's going to step
20:36
Speaker 1: in and do what he does and he's a very
20:38
Speaker 1: good player. Um, I think we know what to expect
20:41
Speaker 1: if you've got the other three A j Can, Brandon
20:44
Speaker 1: Linder and Norwell. Um, you know, in a position of
20:47
Speaker 1: being healthy and on the field. This is the key.
20:50
Speaker 1: A year ago, he was here throughout the entire ot
20:52
Speaker 1: A process, he was working against Calais Campbell in practice.
20:56
Speaker 1: He looked good, he looked like he was ready to
20:58
Speaker 1: take a step from his rookie season. And then early
21:01
Speaker 1: in the season Week two, over extended planted his left
21:05
Speaker 1: leg towards the a c L and was lost for
21:06
Speaker 1: the season. And from that moment, the offense really started
21:09
Speaker 1: spiraling downhill, not just because he was gone, but because
21:13
Speaker 1: their offensive line all of a sudden got really thin,
21:15
Speaker 1: really fast. So where is he a year removed now
21:19
Speaker 1: from the knee injury. He should be structurally sound and
21:22
Speaker 1: ready to go. Um can he get back to where
21:25
Speaker 1: he was performing in training camp last year? It's a
21:28
Speaker 1: key component. If he comes back and stabilizes the left
21:32
Speaker 1: side of the offensive line, I think they have a
21:34
Speaker 1: chance to be really good on offense this year. I
21:36
Speaker 1: think he's that important to the equation. Well needs to
21:38
Speaker 1: be better than he was last year. Frankly, because he
21:41
Speaker 1: said a lot of signs as a rookie, but the
21:42
Speaker 1: talk on him coming out of his rookie year was, look,
21:45
Speaker 1: he's shown good signs, but he's got to get better,
21:49
Speaker 1: for him to be worth what we picked him at
21:50
Speaker 1: and to be that stabilizing force, and he really wasn't.
21:53
Speaker 1: Even in the first two games. He was okay but
21:54
Speaker 1: not great. So it's a big year for him to
21:57
Speaker 1: even get better, which is he to come back from
21:59
Speaker 1: the A c L UM. I wouldn't expect to know
22:03
Speaker 1: much about Brian's topic is that. I would saying, O
22:06
Speaker 1: T A you're not gonna learn much because there's no contact, um.
22:09
Speaker 1: But with an A C L you would still think
22:12
Speaker 1: it's gonna be brought along slowly. And I know I'm
22:14
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of questions, how is camp Robinson looking.
22:17
Speaker 1: I really don't expect to be able to answer those,
22:18
Speaker 1: probably until training camp. But it's unquestionably outside of Nick Foles.
22:24
Speaker 1: I think it's the most important story that we won't
22:27
Speaker 1: talk about a lot because we talked about the wide receivers.
22:29
Speaker 1: But Brian's right, if if he's not what they think
22:33
Speaker 1: he is, then it's gonna cause a lot of other
22:35
Speaker 1: things to break down. Yeah, it's got to be the guy,
22:37
Speaker 1: all right, John. Now yours is also very important. You
22:39
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Who's going to catch the ball? Well? I
22:43
Speaker 1: chose this because it is one thing you can see
22:45
Speaker 1: at O T A S. And I don't know because
22:50
Speaker 1: if you look at their wide receivers, is it Marquis Lee,
22:53
Speaker 1: who again is another guy that we're not going to
22:55
Speaker 1: know a lot about until training camp realistically? Is d
22:58
Speaker 1: J Chark ready to be what they think d J
23:00
Speaker 1: hr can be? How much is Chris Connelly going to
23:03
Speaker 1: fit in? He's sort of an unknown uh d D Westbrook,
23:07
Speaker 1: All those guys I just listed you could see I
23:10
Speaker 1: indeed he's gonna start Beyond that, you wonder who's on
23:12
Speaker 1: the other side, how the rotation is going to play out.
23:15
Speaker 1: I think this is one position where you might know
23:19
Speaker 1: something more on June. I think they wrap up. You
23:23
Speaker 1: might have a much better feel for this position now
23:27
Speaker 1: or then than you do now because you'll be able
23:29
Speaker 1: to get a feel for how they feel who's working
23:31
Speaker 1: with who now that we can report that. But by
23:32
Speaker 1: the end of O T S we're gonna know some
23:35
Speaker 1: idea of how they feel about this group. And uh,
23:38
Speaker 1: it's a big it's a big group for this front
23:42
Speaker 1: office in terms of how the fans feel about him,
23:45
Speaker 1: because the fans are really wondering, what did you do
23:47
Speaker 1: to improve this spot. The front office think this group's
23:49
Speaker 1: okay needs to prove it well. I think the quarterback
23:52
Speaker 1: should have a dramatic impact on this group, the consistency
23:56
Speaker 1: as the doctor. Yeah, can he put the ball. We've
23:59
Speaker 1: seen it in Philadelphia where these receivers can make place.
24:03
Speaker 1: Blake didn't do that enough. Um, So I think we
24:07
Speaker 1: could see even though it's running against error, we could
24:11
Speaker 1: see guys like DJ jarc and D D. Westbrook take steps,
24:16
Speaker 1: look better, uh, look comfortable in the offense. Let's not
24:20
Speaker 1: forget it's a new it's a new offense this year
24:22
Speaker 1: with John D. Philippo two. So early on we might
24:25
Speaker 1: not see what we expect to see from a betteran
24:28
Speaker 1: quarterback and receivers with promise um. But by the time
24:32
Speaker 1: o ts are done, as John mentioned, I would think
24:35
Speaker 1: that that particular group will be able to tell us
24:38
Speaker 1: what their curve is for this year based on what
24:41
Speaker 1: what they were able to get done. What you hope
24:43
Speaker 1: is that Shark is the story of O T. A
24:45
Speaker 1: should be because a year or two guy should look
24:48
Speaker 1: much more comfortable over his feet, I'd like to say,
24:51
Speaker 1: much more comfortable running rounds. He should look the part.
24:54
Speaker 1: He should be beating guys easier to did last year
24:56
Speaker 1: because he should just be more comfortable. That's and it
24:59
Speaker 1: should be noticeable and O T A. S. Tavin Bryant
25:01
Speaker 1: me more comfortable at once. We're not going to see
25:03
Speaker 1: it because he's working against guys without Pat so Shark.
25:07
Speaker 1: You hope he's a major story about June. Yeah, I
25:09
Speaker 1: think back to last year's training camp. He was definitely
25:11
Speaker 1: a story almost every day. He was making plays out
25:13
Speaker 1: of training camp, and you would expect that to be times,
25:17
Speaker 1: you know, two or three in a second year. So
25:19
Speaker 1: all right, my storyline to watch is seven. What can
25:22
Speaker 1: we expect from Leonard for not coming back from a
25:25
Speaker 1: hamstring injury and frankly just not the best year in
25:27
Speaker 1: two thousand eight teen. You have the injection in Buffalo,
25:30
Speaker 1: some off field problems. I can expect that he's gonna
25:33
Speaker 1: have a good year because he hasn't shown me why
25:35
Speaker 1: he shouldn't with this offseason. He's been here, he's been training.
25:39
Speaker 1: The minor hiccup with the arrest in Jackson that I dismiss. Really,
25:43
Speaker 1: I don't see why I shouldn't expect him to have
25:46
Speaker 1: a great ota because he's done all the right things.
25:48
Speaker 1: This offseason, guys. And he had a big otis last year.
25:52
Speaker 1: I mean, and anytime we talk about Leonard, it's going
25:56
Speaker 1: to be couched with has to show it during the
25:58
Speaker 1: radio season obviously. Uh. And this time last year he
26:02
Speaker 1: looked great, he looked thin. The storyline was, Wow, he's
26:05
Speaker 1: gonna be light. He's gonna be quicker than he was
26:07
Speaker 1: last year. So as we've talked about since Drivetime started
26:11
Speaker 1: after the off season or after the season, and it's
26:15
Speaker 1: going to be every time you see something good about Leonard,
26:18
Speaker 1: Fournette's gonna be Okay, that is the right step. That's
26:21
Speaker 1: what we needed to see. Now let's see it in
26:24
Speaker 1: training camp. So he's got a pile on one more
26:28
Speaker 1: element of good will if you will, and I think
26:30
Speaker 1: he will. So far, so good, and uh, you want
26:33
Speaker 1: to see him keep checking off those off season boxes.
26:36
Speaker 1: He's been there. I mean, I was asked Sunday and
26:38
Speaker 1: I'm sure you were as well. Leonard Leonard, Leonard, Leonard
26:41
Speaker 1: Leonard more so than even Nick. And the only response
26:44
Speaker 1: I could give, because we haven't seen anything, is he's here.
26:48
Speaker 1: Well that means a lot. I mean, we're talking about
26:49
Speaker 1: a guy coming off of a hamstring injury that was um.
26:54
Speaker 1: It lingered all season long, and it really set the
26:58
Speaker 1: tone for the whole season. It did. It did not
27:00
Speaker 1: just him, the whole team. That hamstring took this offense down,
27:03
Speaker 1: and the offense brought the defense down. So him being
27:08
Speaker 1: here working with Tom Icelinsky in his down, working with
27:12
Speaker 1: the nutritionists, working out with the coach now in o
27:16
Speaker 1: t A s getting a greater sense of what this
27:18
Speaker 1: offense and what his expectations in it are. Um, it's
27:21
Speaker 1: just you know, one more brick on the foundation for
27:25
Speaker 1: his nine season. He could be sitting in New Orleans
27:28
Speaker 1: right now and there could be no bricks on the foundation,
27:31
Speaker 1: there could be no progress made towards repairing what was
27:34
Speaker 1: a disastrous for him. But he's been here and working
27:37
Speaker 1: at it, so I think the foundation is in pretty
27:39
Speaker 1: good shape for him to have a good year. And
27:42
Speaker 1: to his credit, Brian started even olier than that started
27:44
Speaker 1: in Wyoming. We're talking about during the combat. I think
27:47
Speaker 1: it's even before that. So um, again, all you can
27:51
Speaker 1: do once last season ended, all he could do is
27:55
Speaker 1: do the right things off season to put himself in
27:57
Speaker 1: posessition priory wrong in training camp. So far, so good.
28:00
Speaker 1: When last season ended, I was disinterested. If they would
28:02
Speaker 1: have traded him, I would have been able to explain
28:04
Speaker 1: that and say, fine, good riddance. Um, what he's done
28:07
Speaker 1: is intrigued me now with his effort through Wyoming, as
28:10
Speaker 1: John mentioned, and to this point right now, now I'm
28:13
Speaker 1: interested again, and I think Jaguars bands are interested in
28:16
Speaker 1: him again and hopeful. Yeah, and going to have to
28:18
Speaker 1: continue to prove people around. That's for sure. Season all right.

30:23
Speaker 1: Mr John Ojer who's very preoccupied with his Twitter and
30:26
Speaker 1: his pop socket at the moment. Was the Leonard for
30:29
Speaker 1: Nett tweet. It was It's good stuff. He can't check
30:32
Speaker 1: it out. He tweets to the effect that he needed
30:36
Speaker 1: a tire replaced. I just didn't have the money for it,
30:39
Speaker 1: or or it was curiousizing gonna pay for it. I
30:42
Speaker 1: he couldn't pay for it, but I was. And then
30:44
Speaker 1: I Mark Keith Lee gave him like two thousand dollars
30:46
Speaker 1: that he owed him for the new tire. Jeez, I'm
30:50
Speaker 1: not going into pocket for one about Henry sny bucks
30:51
Speaker 1: for a tire. But I guess I don't. I don't
30:53
Speaker 1: drive his car. No, maybe, yeah, I got well, yeah,
30:57
Speaker 1: I got tired of it. My wife had to heavy
31:00
Speaker 1: have a battery put in on Sunday. I probably just
31:02
Speaker 1: called keys. Yeah, apparently we'll be getting some calls now.
31:04

31:44
Speaker 1: in mid June, and then you'll be here for training
31:46
Speaker 1: camp and it'll be forgotten. So for Jalen Ramsey, you know,
31:50
Speaker 1: to me, I don't want to see Jalen getting carted
31:53
Speaker 1: off on the field in the next three weeks. So
31:55
Speaker 1: stay in Nashville. I'm fine. I'm sure there are people
31:58
Speaker 1: in the building who disagree with that, But here's the plane, Troot. Fine,
32:01
Speaker 1: he has leverage. He is a great player. Right, if
32:05
Speaker 1: he was just an average player, he'd be here. He
32:09
Speaker 1: didn't have to be He's the best cornerback in the league,
32:11
Speaker 1: or one of the three best cornerbacks in the league.
32:14
Speaker 1: He's doing the work. He doesn't have to be here.
32:17
Speaker 1: But White in the same for everybody. Brian White in
32:19
Speaker 1: the same for everybody. The world isn't the same, right,
32:22
Speaker 1: it's not fair. Hello, news flash. If your parents haven't
32:25
Speaker 1: told you life isn't fair, you missed out on one
32:27
Speaker 1: of great of life's great lessons. And the reality of
32:30
Speaker 1: it is is that Jalen has leveraged that you and
32:32
Speaker 1: I don't you know where I wish I was. I
32:34
Speaker 1: wish I was in Nashville with Jail, but I gotta
32:36
Speaker 1: be here exactly. Well, it's it's different from well, you
32:42
Speaker 1: only got a couple more weeks and then vacation starts.
32:43
Speaker 1: But no, he didn't have to be If you're that good,
32:45
Speaker 1: he can do it. You can do what you want,
32:47
Speaker 1: and it's it's the ultimate game in that sense. If
32:52
Speaker 1: you need to be here and you're not getting your
32:53
Speaker 1: work done, it's going to show in the field and
32:55
Speaker 1: you gonna be out of the league. That's the long
32:57
Speaker 1: term sort of theory behind this. That's not gonna happen
32:59
Speaker 1: with Jail. He's trying to get paid too. He wants
33:03
Speaker 1: to get that big contract. Don't know what this is
33:05
Speaker 1: about for Jam Well, no, I know, but maybe it's
33:07
Speaker 1: some degree. But if they walked up to Jam right
33:10
Speaker 1: now and said here's your three million, where is he
33:12
Speaker 1: gonna get paid? Still wouldn't be here. He'd say thank
33:14
Speaker 1: you very much, and I'm playing back to Nashville. But no,
33:18
Speaker 1: My point is just that he's going to prove it
33:20
Speaker 1: on the field. He'll be ready to go. His teammates
33:23
Speaker 1: will tell you the exact same thing. Um, tough left
33:25
Speaker 1: and folks in life eating fair. Sorry John, No Broadway
33:30
Speaker 1: for you, John, All right, let's go. Yeah, that's where
33:33
Speaker 1: he likes to go in Nashville. I thought you had
33:36
Speaker 1: singing aspirations to both both. It applies to both. Let's
33:40
Speaker 1: go to Scott from Arizona. So would you presume to
33:44
Speaker 1: be a more likely outcome for two tho nineteen for
33:47
Speaker 1: Net living up to his draft position or for Net
33:49
Speaker 1: missing enough games because of the injury and Ryquell Armstead
33:53
Speaker 1: leading the Jacks. Um, I'm not sure either is what's
33:58
Speaker 1: gonna happen, because I'm not sure he's ever gonna live
34:00
Speaker 1: up to his draft position as the number four guy.
34:02
Speaker 1: But that being said, I get the point of the question.
34:06
Speaker 1: I think it's more likely that he has a year
34:09
Speaker 1: where he plays thirteen or fourteen games. Agam with you, Brian.
34:12
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever gonna play sixteen because of
34:14
Speaker 1: the way, but the soft tissue stuff. You know, I'm
34:18
Speaker 1: going to assume that that's going to be in the
34:20
Speaker 1: past and and flukey. So I think it's more likely,
34:24
Speaker 1: maybe not that he ever lives up to number four overall,
34:27
Speaker 1: but that he has Uh, his rookie year was what
34:30
Speaker 1: a thousand forty adds a thousand to that? Eleven fifty
34:34
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. If you got that out of that, wouldn't
34:37
Speaker 1: you be happy without a doubt? And I think and
34:39
Speaker 1: I wouldn't this offense look more like what it's supposed
34:42
Speaker 1: to look like exactly? And I'm interested to see how
34:44
Speaker 1: they use him right, How how John D. Philippo deploys
34:49
Speaker 1: him and uses rich Will armstraw Armstead. I have to
34:54
Speaker 1: get that right um in relief of him, you know,
34:57
Speaker 1: how they balance it because they know he's not going
34:59
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. It's like you can go in ago,
35:00
Speaker 1: he's gonna get thirty carries this week, and he'll get
35:02
Speaker 1: thirty carries next week, and thirty carries until he doesn't,
35:06
Speaker 1: and then we'll take him out of the game. I
35:07
Speaker 1: think he's gonna play a lot on third down, right,
35:09
Speaker 1: I think with the way they're set up, I think
35:12
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a major factor in the passing game.
35:14
Speaker 1: On thirday, well, and he made progress. I guess what
35:16
Speaker 1: I was going to say here coming out of this
35:17
Speaker 1: was I thought he was set up for a big
35:19
Speaker 1: season last year. He looked phenomenal in training camp. Remember
35:22
Speaker 1: we talked at first drive against the Giants before you
35:24
Speaker 1: get hurt. That's the way the offense was. Bang bang.
35:27
Speaker 1: So I can sit here and say he looks good,
35:29
Speaker 1: he's been here, you know, say whatever we see from
35:32
Speaker 1: him out of the practice fields. But until he stays healthy, right,
35:35
Speaker 1: until he can stay on the field, part of that
35:38
Speaker 1: is going to be how many carries his body can handle.
35:42
Speaker 1: And the other part's going to be how did the
35:44
Speaker 1: Jaguars use him in conjunction with ry Weel Armstead and
35:48
Speaker 1: the other backs. You know, they've got a stable of
35:50
Speaker 1: them that they keep here. How does the offense put
35:52
Speaker 1: him into a rotation that keeps him at a point
35:56
Speaker 1: where he can stay on the field. Again, I don't
35:58
Speaker 1: see sixteen games, but fourteen games would be amazing if
36:03
Speaker 1: he could play that many. Absolutely All right, let's crash
36:05
Speaker 1: or sum it up with Crash from the West Side,
36:08
Speaker 1: who was complaining the same thing that John was earlier
36:11
Speaker 1: in the nineties for O t s. That's hotter than
36:13
Speaker 1: the sweatband inside of a fireman's helmet during a three
36:16
Speaker 1: alarm fire. Yeah, I wanted to thank Crash for reminding
36:20
Speaker 1: me of this on Monday, when I was trying to
36:23
Speaker 1: put off the fact that i'd be outside in the field,
36:25
Speaker 1: and I got an email remind me that I would be.
36:27
Speaker 1: So thanks Crash, and you're blocked. So that's awesome for you. Wow,
36:34
Speaker 1: but intense. The man was just sharing his thoughts with you.
36:37
Speaker 1: That's fine, Crash can go share his thoughts a game,
36:40
Speaker 1: sex and email. Great and I'll wait to hear that
36:43
Speaker 1: will look forward to I'll wait to hear from him.
36:45

38:49
Speaker 1: Let's start top sweets with Serious x M NFL Radio.
38:52
Speaker 1: They had a segment on the other day, and one
38:53
Speaker 1: of their hosts said, from worst to first on the
38:56
Speaker 1: Jaguars in two thousand nineteen. I think this is a
38:58
Speaker 1: team that people should say a can five and eleven
39:01
Speaker 1: go to eleven and five with Nick Foles. Sign me up, Brian,
39:05
Speaker 1: fig me up, baby. Awesome, that gets you going. I'm
39:08
Speaker 1: on board. I'm on board. Look, somebody asked me on
39:12
Speaker 1: Sunday night, what does Nip Foles have to do for
39:14
Speaker 1: this team to contend? I said, he has to be
39:17
Speaker 1: one of the top ten or twelve quarterbacks in the league.
39:20
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to be top two, three or four.
39:23
Speaker 1: With the defense that they have and the running game
39:27
Speaker 1: that we expect them to have. If he's the tenth
39:29
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league, they can be eleven. They
39:33
Speaker 1: got a great shot. It's the great litmus test. Does
39:35
Speaker 1: accuracy which Blake lacked a lot of the time? Is
39:39
Speaker 1: that what was missing? And that two minute magic that
39:43
Speaker 1: Foles has? Can you bring it? Those are the two things,
39:45
Speaker 1: all right. Let's go to Adam Schefter, who reported that
39:48
Speaker 1: Bucks defensive tackle Jerald McCoy wants to sign with a
39:51
Speaker 1: playoff contender and of course make money. The Jaguars could
39:54
Speaker 1: be a spot that makes sense along with Patriots and
39:57
Speaker 1: Chargers and Cowboys. But why didn't you just listen to
39:59
Speaker 1: the rest of the league. Yeah, they're in there too. Uh.
40:02
Speaker 1: The Jaguar salary cap situation right now, and everyone's counting
40:05
Speaker 1: on getting nine point seven five million credited for Telvin
40:09
Speaker 1: Smith sitting out. They don't have that right now. Um,
40:12
Speaker 1: by the time they sign their draft choices, they will
40:15
Speaker 1: have seven eight million dollars that is reserved in case
40:19
Speaker 1: someone gets hurt. They need to go find someone. They
40:21
Speaker 1: don't have the money to go and throw at a
40:23
Speaker 1: guy like Jeral McCoy unless they're gonna read do deals. Right,
40:26
Speaker 1: there's money there to redo deals. You can go and
40:29
Speaker 1: find some money in a j Boy's contract, in Calais
40:32
Speaker 1: Campbell's contract. But it gets scary when you start pushing
40:35
Speaker 1: money beyond the lifespan of certain players. UM, I wouldn't
40:40
Speaker 1: think of Jeral McCoy is a guy you need here.
40:42
Speaker 1: You've got Marcel Darius who's got a big cap hit
40:45
Speaker 1: and Davin Bryan. I wouldn't think. In fact, when I
40:48
Speaker 1: heard he was getting cut and didn't even consider they
40:50
Speaker 1: would think about it. When you have a reliability and
40:52
Speaker 1: Avery Jones. I mean, at some point you've got to
40:54
Speaker 1: go into the season with which you got. You can't
40:56
Speaker 1: just sign it. Re line is strong. I would be
40:58
Speaker 1: surprised if at this point you went into this with
41:01
Speaker 1: a with an aging veteran to help defensive tackle um.
41:06
Speaker 1: It would seem an odd move considering everything, and Brian
41:09
Speaker 1: just talked. The only thing that could turn anything obviously
41:12
Speaker 1: an injury and training camp. Because n Dominican Sue is
41:15
Speaker 1: still out there on the free agent market. He was
41:17
Speaker 1: the second overall player chosen in McCoy was the third,
41:22
Speaker 1: and so now both of them are sitting there. The
41:24
Speaker 1: numbers two high. I think Sue wants ten twelve million
41:26
Speaker 1: bucks on a one year deal. That'd be great. Maybe
41:31
Speaker 1: if you need someone in camp, you can find a
41:34
Speaker 1: guy who needs a job bad enough that you could
41:36
Speaker 1: make that number work. But I just I wouldn't look
41:39
Speaker 1: at the Jaguars and put them in that column. Maybe
41:41
Speaker 1: she after's hearing something I'm not, but I wouldn't even
41:44
Speaker 1: tie the two teams together. Sorry, Adam, all right, let's
41:47
Speaker 1: wap it up with the star of top tweets, Leonard
41:49
Speaker 1: for Net were already talked about Marquisley helping a guy
41:52
Speaker 1: out with the tires heat tweets where aren't taking any
41:56
Speaker 1: shorts unless we go on vacation. That's what I like
42:00
Speaker 1: to hear. Well, I mean I ain't taking some shorts
42:03
Speaker 1: out to as today. That's you know. I have shorts
42:07
Speaker 1: one right now. I can't speak for Lanard, but there
42:09
Speaker 1: will be short the TV secret. I'm shorts right now.
42:13
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I got shorts all the time than in Florida. Yeah,
42:17
Speaker 1: we like when you do that. Thanks for that, all right.
42:20
Speaker 1: Coming up on Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars Twitter later
42:22
Speaker 1: on today, Coach Marone and Unique and Dockway talking to
42:25
Speaker 1: us on the first day of OTS. We'll see you
42:27
Speaker 1: next week on Jaguars Drive Time.
