- 1:01Speaker 1: your resume. People person get a job in HR yes, yes,
- 1:05Speaker 1: relationship they would enjoy me over there, get a lot
- 1:09Speaker 1: done for sure, Ashley, you were doing this weekend on
- 1:13Speaker 1: social media, You're you're blowing up all over the place
- 1:16Speaker 1: in the golf role. What's up? It was very cool.
- 1:18Speaker 1: We were in Greenville, South Carolina, which was very cool
- 1:21Speaker 1: because I started talking about my full time job with
- 1:23Speaker 1: the Jaguars and you're only a little bit away from
- 1:25Speaker 1: Clemson University. Assume people would just ask me nonsop about
- 1:29Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. But Travis E. T N was the biggest
- 1:32Speaker 1: question mark, and so many people ask me how he's looking.
- 1:35Speaker 1: And truthfully, you would think Clemson fans, because every single
- 1:38Speaker 1: person there was a Clemson fan, might have forgotten about
- 1:41Speaker 1: Travis etim with him not being on the football field
- 1:43Speaker 1: all year. They are very curious how he's going to
- 1:46Speaker 1: do this season. So I'm curious what you told him.
- 1:47Speaker 1: I think he's looking like he's ready to go, and
- 1:50Speaker 1: you see him out on the practice field every single day.
- 1:52Speaker 1: We won't know till the path is going on. I think, Brian,
- 1:54Speaker 1: what you bring up a lot of times is we
- 1:56Speaker 1: won't know truly how he looks until every single day
- 2:00Speaker 1: when he has to go back out there for a
- 2:01Speaker 1: training camp practice. It's hard to say right now, but
- 2:04Speaker 1: can you go every day there's no reason to not
- 2:05Speaker 1: be optimistic at this point. We'll see there today. I
- 2:08Speaker 1: was there, only there for a couple of minutes. Chat
- 2:12Speaker 1: was the only veteran there that didn't have an injury status, right,
- 2:16Speaker 1: and it's a it's easy to forget because he didn't
- 2:19Speaker 1: play uh here last year. Um, Travis c t n
- 2:25Speaker 1: if if you look at his production in college, Uh,
- 2:30Speaker 1: he was more productive in college than Trevor in terms
- 2:33Speaker 1: of when you look at his leading Russia there staggering
- 2:37Speaker 1: what he did. Um, you know there's still Is he
- 2:42Speaker 1: going to be incredibly dynamic quick enough to have that
- 2:47Speaker 1: translate to the NFL? I don't know, but I think
- 2:50Speaker 1: all you can say on Travis c tnser for this
- 2:51Speaker 1: offseason is so far, so good. He has not been
- 2:57Speaker 1: They had what three o t a weeks where he
- 2:59Speaker 1: was here some off season work before that that he
- 3:02Speaker 1: was and there's been no word of them backing him off.
- 3:07Speaker 1: He's so that's about as good as you can expect
- 3:08Speaker 1: right now. For right now. He's a mismatch guy. I mean,
- 3:11Speaker 1: he's a guy that if they've got a world of
- 3:15Speaker 1: offensive brain power over there working, if you get him
- 3:18Speaker 1: on a safety or a linebacker, especially if he's coming
- 3:20Speaker 1: out of the backfield in motion and he's able to
- 3:22Speaker 1: use if he were gained that speed and explosive, will
- 3:24Speaker 1: he be that guy off the injury? That and and
- 3:27Speaker 1: and there's no way we'll know until maybe the regular season,
- 3:32Speaker 1: because you know that I don't You don't know this,
- 3:34Speaker 1: but you would expect that they'll get him plenty of reps.
- 3:38Speaker 1: But they'll probably also be cautious with him too, and
- 3:41Speaker 1: they won't show everything. That's what I mean. They're sneaky
- 3:45Speaker 1: like that they are. And when it comes to a
- 3:48Speaker 1: preseason and the training camp and all that coming up.
- 3:51Speaker 1: You know, Johnath, I know you're getting a lot of
- 3:52Speaker 1: questions in the ozone because I read it every day
- 3:55Speaker 1: loyal in fact about this change in man Tory minicamp.
- 4:00Speaker 1: But Doug Peterson made the veterans aren't around. Only one
- 4:03Speaker 1: Slann as you said us here in channel, the one
- 4:05Speaker 1: true that that's not got some kind of nagging issue.
- 4:09Speaker 1: So um, but the bets aren't here. They're getting an
- 4:12Speaker 1: extra time off. I have been encouraged since February six
- 4:18Speaker 1: everything Doug Peterson says about the NFL, the fact that
- 4:21Speaker 1: he understands that this is okay. The fact that he
- 4:25Speaker 1: understood back in April that he didn't need the maximum
- 4:31Speaker 1: time to get this team ready. Nothing he does is
- 4:35Speaker 1: for show. Nothing he does is because they're not working
- 4:39Speaker 1: for the sake of working. And I hear for the
- 4:41Speaker 1: sake of being here. Brian, he knows what offseason is.
- 4:45Speaker 1: He knows what patted practices are worth. It is. Once
- 4:49Speaker 1: he saw that these guys were prepared enough to be
- 4:53Speaker 1: full speed and training camp, he said, that's what it's for.
- 4:57Speaker 1: It's not for preparing for week three. Offseason is about
- 5:01Speaker 1: making sure you're ready to work in training camp. He's
- 5:03Speaker 1: an NFL veteran, and to me, this shows it beyond
- 5:06Speaker 1: anything he's done so far well And and I haven't
- 5:08Speaker 1: asked him this, but I bet if you did. The
- 5:11Speaker 1: minute he saw that they were playing in the Hall
- 5:12Speaker 1: of Fame game, he figured, I've got an extra week
- 5:15Speaker 1: of practice to get ready for that game, and then
- 5:17Speaker 1: I've got that extra game to analyze if these guys
- 5:20Speaker 1: can give me what I need and the key words,
- 5:22Speaker 1: they're what he needs as the head coach to see. Um.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I feel comfortable with it too, and he knows they've
- 5:29Speaker 1: got to be back a week early, so you don't
- 5:31Speaker 1: want to wear them out. Now. I mean, it's it's
- 5:34Speaker 1: you get, so it's it's it's a great leverage bet
- 5:37Speaker 1: on his part. He gets. He lets them go a
- 5:39Speaker 1: week early so they come back ready to go. They
- 5:42Speaker 1: appreciate what he's done for them. Yeah, you said it, John,
- 5:45Speaker 1: He's a pro coach. He knows how to balance having
- 5:49Speaker 1: these guys healthy now and in November not having legs
- 5:52Speaker 1: be dead tired because they did too much in July
- 5:55Speaker 1: and August. I think I think it was a really
- 5:58Speaker 1: smart move knowing he's got that extra week agreed, and
- 6:02Speaker 1: people forget that they started ots early because of the
- 6:05Speaker 1: new head coach regime, and if you look at that,
- 6:07Speaker 1: they technically I've already done this week on the football field,
- 6:10Speaker 1: they checked off the list. So yeah, the uproar was
- 6:12Speaker 1: unnecessarily voluntary Mini camp as well for the veterans, which
- 6:16Speaker 1: they had great participation and which Slynn said is also key.
- 6:20Speaker 1: If they hadn't had great participation among the veterans, then
- 6:24Speaker 1: they'd probably be here for those three days. He wouldn't
- 6:26Speaker 1: have seen what he needs when he got almost under participation.
- 6:30Speaker 1: We've all seen mini camp practices and we've all seen
- 6:32Speaker 1: unpadded work. Frankly, there's what thirteen of them in a
- 6:37Speaker 1: normal segment at ten O T A s and three
- 6:40Speaker 1: mini camps. If you're not getting what you need to
- 6:44Speaker 1: get done in nine inn the camp isn't what it
- 6:48Speaker 1: was once was. I mean, remember when there were shells
- 6:50Speaker 1: outside and how much in shoulder pads and they were popping,
- 6:52Speaker 1: you know, and it was really physical. They backed that off,
- 6:54Speaker 1: So it's not hard to see where he got enough done.
- 6:57Speaker 1: And I really do think that veteran group is going
- 7:00Speaker 1: to come back here energized because they know they've got
- 7:03Speaker 1: a coach this year who they can count on. I
- 7:06Speaker 1: would have let him go in April. I'm sure you
- 7:08Speaker 1: would have. That seems to be so even this week though,
- 7:13Speaker 1: has been shortened up. The guys that are here. I mean,
- 7:15Speaker 1: what were they on the field today, not even that
- 7:18Speaker 1: very short. It may have stretched to forty, but it
- 7:21Speaker 1: wasn't more than that. I think they had about eight
- 7:24Speaker 1: plays and team period and the rest was all individual.
- 7:27Speaker 1: And for people who are listening, this is a teaching time,
- 7:31Speaker 1: this is not an evaluation time. Once they see that
- 7:35Speaker 1: they are ready and have the knowledge to go work,
- 7:37Speaker 1: when it matters, that's what you're trying to get done.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I had one of his own question this week. Well,
- 7:42Speaker 1: this is a big reputational risk for Doug Peterson. First
- 7:45Speaker 1: of all, he got rent, so his bank account speaks
- 7:49Speaker 1: of his reputation. Well, so what does he worried the best?
- 7:52Speaker 1: But best of all, he doesn't think that way. Yeah,
- 7:57Speaker 1: what is Bill from the west side? I think about this.
- 8:00Speaker 1: He knows what it takes to get a team ready. Um, JP,
- 8:04Speaker 1: if you just look, if you go back in your
- 8:05Speaker 1: memory to what we saw the very first day of
- 8:08Speaker 1: rookie minicamp here. What was that the first week in May,
- 8:10Speaker 1: six weeks ago maybe to today, which was almost exclusively rookies.
- 8:14Speaker 1: There were some young veterans that were mixed in there
- 8:16Speaker 1: as well. Um, completely different. You didn't have the guys
- 8:18Speaker 1: going what do I do? Where am I? What's this
- 8:20Speaker 1: drill all about? I mean they were efficient in forty
- 8:22Speaker 1: minutes and got things done. So you mentioned teaching time.
- 8:26Speaker 1: They made the most of the time on the field.
- 8:28Speaker 1: They have made the most of the last six weeks,
- 8:30Speaker 1: which is why Doug feels ready to let him go.
- 8:33Speaker 1: And I mean of the rookies that we've had a
- 8:35Speaker 1: chance to visit with and meet as a group. You know, individually,
- 8:40Speaker 1: they're the type that go out and work. They're not
- 8:42Speaker 1: gonna sit around and mess around and waste time. Actually
- 8:45Speaker 1: yeah no, And I'm sure in their best interests they
- 8:46Speaker 1: want to get out of here too. They're ready to
- 8:48Speaker 1: take a break as well. So everyone getting off the
- 8:51Speaker 1: football field a little early, and that's okay. The Jaguars
- 8:54Speaker 1: are future focused and ready for a new look in

- 9:53Speaker 1: my money maker. Great, I'm not there to see it.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Don stream on demand. Um So. The Miller Electric Center
- 10:08Speaker 1: unveiled today at a press conference just outside Jaguars owner
- 10:11Speaker 1: Shot Kan g M. Trent Ballky head coach Doug Peterson,
- 10:14Speaker 1: Mill Electric CEO Henry Brown, Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, and
- 10:18Speaker 1: City council President Sam Newbie were all on the days.
- 10:21Speaker 1: We heard from a few of those folks. And it's
- 10:23Speaker 1: a ten year deal, Brian Important. That's a big thing
- 10:26Speaker 1: for This thing is gonna open for training camp next year.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Jaguars fans don't have the luxury of just ignoring the
- 10:32Speaker 1: business side of it. Being in the smallest market means
- 10:34Speaker 1: you have to pay attention to this. Rams fans and
- 10:37Speaker 1: Giants fans and cowboys fans. They never to worry about
- 10:39Speaker 1: the business, but we were always looking at it. So
- 10:42Speaker 1: the rams between so Far Stadium and the United Airlines
- 10:46Speaker 1: Plaza make forty million dollars a year in naming rights.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Add in Daily's Place to t I A a bank
- 10:52Speaker 1: we make five right, that's one eight and there's really
- 10:55Speaker 1: not a lot of opportunity to recapture to catch up
- 10:59Speaker 1: because it markets out well. Then here comes Miller Electric
- 11:01Speaker 1: with a ten year deal. I don't know what the
- 11:03Speaker 1: numbers are, but it's probably a very significant infusion of cash.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Good for the Jaguars. It's a new revenue stream. It's
- 11:09Speaker 1: something that this team needs to be able to compete
- 11:12Speaker 1: with those other marketplaces. And it is cool, uh that
- 11:16Speaker 1: it's a local company that works well for what they're
- 11:20Speaker 1: trying to do in terms of you always would rather
- 11:23Speaker 1: have a strong local company h help it grow. It
- 11:27Speaker 1: gives Miller Electric visibility. Um, you know, it's cool. I
- 11:32Speaker 1: know fans who listen to this. Uh. There's a limit
- 11:37Speaker 1: how much we can say about it in terms of insight,
- 11:40Speaker 1: but it is very important. As Brian said, it's key
- 11:45Speaker 1: in the local revenue equation and in terms of keeping
- 11:48Speaker 1: this franchise solvent and healthy going forward. Well, and not
- 11:51Speaker 1: to make this two in depth, but the local revenue,
- 11:54Speaker 1: the teams get to keep a higher percentage of their
- 11:56Speaker 1: local revenue as opposed to the ticketing revenue as opposed
- 11:59Speaker 1: to the national So when you get to keep more
- 12:02Speaker 1: of that bucket of cash, which is where the naming
- 12:04Speaker 1: rights come from. It's important to keep filling that bucket,
- 12:07Speaker 1: and the Jaggers just don't have as many revenue streams.
- 12:09Speaker 1: To your point, real quick, Miller Electric, those trailers that
- 12:13Speaker 1: are out there right now, that's right where the trailers
- 12:14Speaker 1: you will called John were back in nine four when
- 12:17Speaker 1: they were building the stadium. So we saw Miller Electric,
- 12:19Speaker 1: then we see Miller Electric now. And Henry Brown, their president,
- 12:22Speaker 1: made a good point they've been here in the building
- 12:25Speaker 1: and a part of this franchise since the beginning. So
- 12:29Speaker 1: for me personally, I really enjoyed the fact that they
- 12:31Speaker 1: put their name on the building and I'm the only
- 12:33Speaker 1: one on here that was here eighty nine. I sat
- 12:40Speaker 1: in this stadium for preseason games Falcons and somebody. Uh.
- 12:45Speaker 1: It's always cool to me when I see infrastructure around
- 12:49Speaker 1: the stadium that shows me that this is gonna be
- 12:52Speaker 1: here after I hang them up. Well, it's it's exciting
- 12:55Speaker 1: because we all remember ten years ago and when Shaud
- 12:58Speaker 1: and Mark first got here and they were, you know,
- 13:00Speaker 1: talking local revenue, local revenue. Well they've created it right,
- 13:03Speaker 1: Miller Electric Daily's place. What they're about to start here
- 13:07Speaker 1: on the river with the Four Seasons Hotel and eventually
- 13:10Speaker 1: the shipyards. You know, they've gone out and done John
- 13:13Speaker 1: what they said they were gonna do, Ashlon and JP
- 13:16Speaker 1: and the first was met with a lot of a
- 13:18Speaker 1: lot of good for them. And people don't always have
- 13:20Speaker 1: that long term vision and stay focused on the story.
- 13:23Speaker 1: So we're bringing it back to the fact that the
- 13:25Speaker 1: Jaguars Foundation in Jacksonville is growing more and more solid
- 13:28Speaker 1: by the years, even if you don't see the building's
- 13:31Speaker 1: vertical yet, and that's coming, it's coming quick. Yeah. And and
- 13:33Speaker 1: and just with the naming rights, it just makes it
- 13:36Speaker 1: feel even more real. And we know it's real because
- 13:38Speaker 1: we see it in the parking lot every day. How
- 13:40Speaker 1: quickly this football facility is going up. Truthfully, every single
- 13:43Speaker 1: week I noticed a difference. But now with the naming rights,
- 13:46Speaker 1: it just it just shows the commitment. And there's been
- 13:48Speaker 1: so much skepticism for this to happen. Is truly finale
- 13:52Speaker 1: that this is going to be built in the football
- 13:54Speaker 1: team will be in it by the time the fans
- 13:56Speaker 1: are here in the stadium this full there will be
- 13:58Speaker 1: a lot more structure out there and they'll be able
- 14:00Speaker 1: to watch it go step by step week to week
- 14:02Speaker 1: as they come back for games. I think it would
- 14:05Speaker 1: be fun for them to see how it's going, no
- 14:06Speaker 1: doubt about that. And Mark Lamping spoke after the press
- 14:09Speaker 1: conference today to a big media scrum. He will speak
- 14:12Speaker 1: to you, you guys on drivetime tomorrow right. Well, absolutely,
