  Speaker 2: intensity and practice. We'll see about that moving ahead. We're

  Speaker 2: always JP Shadwick, Jeff Logoman, Good afternoon, afternoon, JP.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Good, Yeah, I'm good.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It's kind of an odd time of year, you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: because the many Mini Camp signifies in a lot of
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: ways that we're about to approach that dead period.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: And the OTAs.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: There are still a couple on the books for next week,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: but for the most part, and we're about to hit
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: that dead zone. When it comes to the NFL News
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: or the NFL daily kind of information does not gonna
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Vacation season begins well next month or so.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And I tell you, the coaching staff, the administration that's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: around football, they deserve it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, they.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Grind for a long period of time and then once
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: they get into the regular season, there is there is
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: no vacation, there's no days off. I mean, it's a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it's an incredible amount of time away from family and friends,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and it's a it's a lot of dedication. So they
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: deserve the vacations that they take and I hope they're
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: all going to have an amazing time, no doubt. Last
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: three days though mandatory mini camp as I've been here
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: at the middle of Electric Center, as has been General
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: manager James Gladstone, who steps into studio now to join
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: us here on Jaguars Happy Hour regular on Jaguars HQ
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: during the regular season. This is the off season. We'll
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: get you all the time.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Good to see it. Thanks for the time, James, good
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: to see you. Jack to be here.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, let's get into it. I'm a little bit
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: bummed we don't get our our fourth that typically joins
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: us for these Uh.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Where's where's Biselli? Yeah? What's he doing? Priors? He had
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: all right, So I noticed a kind of different today.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: The ota is typically, you know, you're kind of up
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: in the perch checking out things on the field, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: today you're right amongst everybody watching very close with a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: front row seat. Pretty intense for you today.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: You know what we Tony and I both started up
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: on the perch, soaked up the first mamba period from there,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and then we go into a version of a jog
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: through and we sort of transitioned during that window, got
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a closer end zone shot right
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: behind the ol, which you know typically on that far field,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: you know, it can be a little bit easier to
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: maybe dissect some of the close up vantage point of
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: what's going on behind the ball. And you know, certainly
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: when you when you get a chance post practice to
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: zoom that lens out be the eye in the sky
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: with the film, Uh, you know it can You're not
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: always tapping into that same on field vantage point. So
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: some of the live exposure, feeling some of that stuff,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: getting some of that common terry can be a helpful
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: piece to the puzzle.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: So do like.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Vacillate in between the two. And it's not necessarily going
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: to be a constant one spot or the other, but
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: dependent on the day, dependent on the moment, you could
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: find us in one.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: All right, So seven OTAs a mini camp in, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you've had an opportunity to kind of look at where
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you at. You know, from a personnel standpoint, you're happy
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: with where you are right now.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Look, I think this part of the off season is
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: really forging what the fall could could become. But while
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: plenty of good teams are built during this window and
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: just ahead of it, it's really the great ones that
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: evolve over the course of the regular season and beyond.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: And so we're always sort of working the edges and
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: the perimeter of where we could find, you know, an
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: advantage and always pursuing those. So at this stage of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the game, I think there's still more work to be
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: done and should be proud of the work that's been
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: put in because we've seen at least through the lens
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: of what this window provides some really clear up upgrades
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: and level ups from a number of different guys and
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: each side of the ball. And so that part of
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: it's been exciting, no.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Doubt, James.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: We know about the guys coming back on the roster,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: but a lot of new players, a lot of rookies,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: draft picks, a lot of free agency action, but new
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: players mixing into this ecosystem for the first time. You
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: have an idea when you draft a player or scouting
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: a player, how they could fit and how their DNA is,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: all these things. What have you seen from some of
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the new guys over the offseason program since rookie Mini Camp,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: now that they've mixed in with the veterans.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, gosh.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I think if you take most recent performances throughout the
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: course of this week, the mini camp performances, I think
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the offensive skill guys who've just been onboarded as part
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: of this offseason have really had a chance to sort
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: of perform in big moments and big ops and clear ops.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: And I think that's an ex piece when qbs are
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: starting to form trust with a number of these guys
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: and they're able to come through when their numbers called.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I think that that's been a really cool piece to
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: see an unfold, and you like to think that that
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: can carry over into the training camp practices and preseason
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: games this next week, specifically oriented towards the pass game,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: So got to imagine that that's got a chance to
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: continue here over the next week or so. But beyond that,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, defense is an interesting piece. The
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: secondary has continued their trend like it did last year,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: getting their hand on the ball. It's been an aggressive
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: approach on their behalf, and you certainly see an energy
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: from them, an enthusiasm from them that's notable. I think
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: with that being said, our defensive front being paired with
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: that coverage is starting to show some real positive But
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: we're not in pads right now, so it's a really
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: hard one to gauge. Uh, you know, it's it's just
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: a different deal and logs you can you can draw
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: from your own experience and just how different that is.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: But certainly some some clear level ups from guys that
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: we're familiar with and some good signs from guys that
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: are new.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: See logs were pads in a sleep, so they had
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: all the time, no no, but it because of the
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: time of year and what you know, you're restricted with
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: no pads. I mean, you I always really focus in
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: on the seven to seventh group, you know, and I
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: always obviously take a very close look at the offensive
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: line and the defensive lines. But for the most part,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: if you're trying to grade something or evaluate something, it's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: really that seven on seven group what I'm seeing in
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the back end with your safety group and the corner group,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and it's not even completely back to full strength yet.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Obviously that's a wild piece, isn't it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Jordan Travis on the sideline and.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Been fantastic though watching who has has been out there,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: from Ransaw to obviously Antonio Johnson and then Eric Murray
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: back in the mix, and then also to kind of
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: include some of the linebackers. I mean, you got those
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: two Christmas presents you didn't really get to see, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Jayla McLeod is another one. I mean, that's got to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: be fun to watch those groups, even though you got
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: two of them sitting out that are going to be
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: top end players, and you're sitting there looking at those
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: guys that are out there going they're doing pretty good.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no question about it. They're playing it with
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: a ton of confidence. Clearly they have a firm grip
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: on what they're being tasked with, and you know, I
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: think they've accepted the challenge of being a bit more aggressive,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: in particular at the line of scrimmage and not giving
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: much air to breathe for receivers. That there's been such
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: great competition across those skill spots, right, we talk about
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the secondary doing a great job of getting their hands
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: on the balls, but you know, our offense has been
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: threatened in the third level of defenses at a higher
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: clip this offseason as well, and we've seen those hit
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: at a higher rate, and there's a point emphasis and
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: typically you get what you emphasize and been one of
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: them and it's shown through.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: So it's been a good back and forth.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: And you know, to see some unfamiliar names for folks
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: that might be listening really show up has been a
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: cool piece.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: James Gladstone with US Jaguars general manager on Jaguars Happy
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Hour and speaking of those deep passes, Brian Thomas Junior
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: has been the recipient of a number of those in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: this offseason program, especially in the mini camp this week,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and he's been all over the news this offseason about,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: you know, taking a step up again. And what have
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you seen out of him in the building and on
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the practice field this offseason.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's committed himself to the process, so to speak.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: He was in the building doing a lot of rehab
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: off the heels of some postseason stuff, and so it
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: was a constant and with that, it's carried over into
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: his performance here this spring, and the connection between him
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and Trevor continues to grow and blossom. And you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: he's just certainly given his energy in the right spots
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: and I think that that's showing up in a real way.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I thought thought that yesterday's practice was arguably the first
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: time that he had that swagger that he put on
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: display in his rookie year, and it was so good
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: to see that competitive when he caught that deep ball
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: going down the boundary, and it was early in practice yesterday,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and then you saw it kind of continue today. It's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: just like, that's the guy that I watched go and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: do what he did his rookie year, and it was
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: really good to see.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no question, they're they're pushing each other though. You know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I think the entire wide receiver group is doing such
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: a great job of refining their details and making sure
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: that that's a point of emphasis internally for the players themselves,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: and you can feel that really getting better and better.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: And EB has done such a great job continuing to
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: push those guys and level their play up, give them
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: new tools to operate with MegaR Bennett. Yeah, it's been
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: just such a cool piece across the board there. As
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: you integrate rookies into the fold, it's there hasn't been
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: a ton of hiccups on their behalf as well, so
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: it's very clear that you know there's an application of
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: what's being taught that gets put into practice on the grass.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: The two rookies have been fun to watch too, Cameron
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and Williams. They got some size to them too.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt. The fun part with both of
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: their games is that it is truly rooted in pad
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: play and so for them to be performing at a
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: high clip without them on is even more exciting.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: So, speaking of a pad player, I gotta go here
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: just for a minute, because you know, the offensive line,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it's typically something that I stay away from this time
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of year, and in the defensive line, but with Pregnant
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: and Wyatt Mileam and you're returning incumbing starters Jonah Mannheim Hainsey.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I am I seeing what might be the most competitive
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: offensive line situation maybe in the league, and you're in
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the interior three position with your offensive line.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting there watching this one.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be really interesting to see how this
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: plays out once you get the pads on in training camp,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: because you have some really good depth.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been the intent. You guys have probably heard
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: us emphasize it enough. Liam and I experienced a pretty
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: gnarly season in Los Angeles that was impacted by injuries
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: to the offensive line and being forced to call on
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: a seventh, eighth, and ninth ol and play a significant
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: amount of snaps and the pains that can come with that,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: and so wanting to ensure that our bench, so to speak,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: was already always healthy and deep was something that we
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: never wanted to sacrifice, and so through that first off season,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: attacking that through pro free agency, following up with a
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: couple draft picks that year, being able to do it
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: again with a draft pick this year and feel continuity.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Returning eight guys from a year ago who had real
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: contributions throughout the course of a season is a really
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: really cool thing, and I think it's going to be
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: something that next week we prioritize it a little bit
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: of a higher equip than we have up to this
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: point in the off season, but moving guys around a
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: little bit more because the versatility as well has been
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: a real point emphasis for us. You know, col van
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: landon this time last year was jumping from left tackle
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: to right tackle, left guard to right guard, and that's
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: ultimately what earned him a chance to get on the
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: field more and showcase what he could do and stabilize
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: play really for the ol as a whole, but even
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: in his particular role anytime he was given those ups.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: So we'll start down that path a little bit more
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: here next week when we're in that passing camp and
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: just see how those start to settle in as we
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: then turn to training camp and continue some of that stuff.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Cole van Land, I know it's the off
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: season and there's no injury reports, but how's Cole doing
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: coming back from the injury he had last year.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's in a great place. He's running at full
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: speed in his rehab process and plan for his return
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: in training camp. Exact timing is still to be determined,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: but in a great place, as is many of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: others who we see on the side with our performance
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: staff throughout the course of our practices up to this
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: point in spring.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: James glad it's one with us, Jaguarsh GM and on
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that track. In terms of players who are off to
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the side right now, I'd be remiss if we didn't
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: ask about Travis Hunter. Of course, everybody wants to know
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: what's going on with Travis, and we see him in
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: practice on the offensive side. He's like in the huddle,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: he's the twelfth guy, and then he'll line up in
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the position he's supposed to line up.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: It's great to see that. What's his day look like
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: in the building every day right now?
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So he starts out with his rehab process on
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: the grass along with his weight room work early in
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: the morning so that he can participate in both offensive
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: and defensive meetings. With that, he also does the bulk
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: of his reps so to speak, in our virtual room,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: and that happens in between sort of dead windows in
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: the day where he's meeting with assistants on both sides
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: of the ball as a part of that, and then
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: for the most part when we're out there as a team.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: He tends to be during group sessions on the offensive side,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: break in the huddle as a twelve, and just line
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: it up in the back backfield as if he was
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: getting his pre snap practice, and nothing post snap but
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: alignment assignment type stuff, which is really the emphasis for
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: everybody throughout the course of this, paired with technique, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: so that's certainly a helpful, helpful tool for him to
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: be able to activate and not be in a spot
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: where he's doing performance related stuff throughout the course of practice,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: but actually be able to be in gay in the
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: huddle conversation. Hear those, hear them coming from Trevor and
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: not you know, a script that he's running off of
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: on his own in a virtual setting. So that type
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: of stuff is certainly the nuances that you get that
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: you otherwise wouldn't.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: He's still in track though, for training camp and beyond.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good, And I think a lot of people might wonder, well,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: if he's kind of breaking the huddle with the offense,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: why is he not doing that with the defense, And
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: just to give people a quick answer to that, look, defense.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Is not rocket sidence.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not trying to be critical, but plain
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: wide receiver is a lot more involved than playing corps.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can replicate the pre snap operation in a
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: more meaningful way in those virtual settings on the defensive
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: side than you could the offensive side. Again, like hearing
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: it come off the lips of Trevor in a play
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: call is a helpful piece, right, That's a cool piece.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: And we actually apply that audio in some of those
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: settings for Travis when he's virtual as well, so we
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: capture that in the huddle. You break the huddle, he's
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: in the virtual room and he's listening to that. But
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: doing it in real time is certainly a helpful tool.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: So have you ever thought about doing a virtual draft
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: in that room? You know, were you sitting there and
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: make picks?
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, we do the we do the simulated Yeah,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: lock drafts undoubtedly, undoubtedly you want to run through those,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: those mock games, so to speak. The mock drafts are
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: certainly a good tool in the toolbox.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: And another just physical part. If you're on the defensive huddle,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: you can't get off the field in time. Everything's coming
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: at you from the offensive side too, so physically can't
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: be in that huddle. James Ladstone in this last couple
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: of minutes where her thanks for coming in. We appreciate it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: But you're off season ahead, you get time down, does
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the staff go away?
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: What happens?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: You're always looking, as you said earlier, to improve the
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: roster and things, But how do you approach you off season.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: The next month?
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: You know what I love about this phase of the
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: calendar year is that as a sky outing staff, we
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: get a chance to press pause, really take a moment
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: to review our process and attempt to enhance it in
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: ways that we feel like are meaningful. And we're working
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: through the after action items and then executing on bringing
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: a lot of that to life and planning out how
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: it fits into the larger puzzle and things of that nature.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: So a lot of strategizing, a lot of dialogue back
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: and forth to make sure that is are dotted taser cross.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: So that piece to it is certainly a fun one.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Beyond that, you're taking the time to assess how we're
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: performing up to this point. You're working with our performance staff,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: our coaching staff. We're taking the time tomorrow to review
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: some of the things up to this point through the
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: off season program, while at the same time keeping an
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: eye on the rest of the league and the landscape,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: as well as turn a little bit of attention to
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: the next year's draft crop right before this had wrapped
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: ol up for the initial sort of lists of our
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: focused coverage and turn into tight ends, and so doing
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: a little bit of that in the background, knowing that
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: you know you've got a longer runway in that regard,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: but having an idea of what might be deep, what
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: might be light in terms of positions, things of that
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: nature heading into the next season is certainly a fun
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: one to be aware of and knowing it's certainly going
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: to evolve as the season does. Sure, but yeah, it's
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: a it's a neat time of year because there's a
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: lot of moving pieces and you know, a lot of
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: wells to dip your toe into, so to speak.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: And got to also kind of recharge your batteries, right,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, the commitment that you guys have once the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: season starts, I mean it's a ments and time spent
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: away from family, you know, is is difficult, but that's
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the part of the commitment of the job that's required.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: And so this time you are also is also offers
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: an opportunity for you guys to really kind of have
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: some of that.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I I tend to appreciate the routine, so I tap
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: into that as frequently as possible myself. Tony Liam Mark Lamping.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: We're gonna spend some time together over the course of
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the summer get away together, which will be a blast.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Looking forward to that, and gonna have our spouses with us,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know, he got a chance to enjoy
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: the weekends a little bit more here in recent weeks
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: and went out to the zoo with the family the
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: last two.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: There.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the manatee.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Exhibits, you know, rocking that that things off the off
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: to the races the first time around, ended up going
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: solo as my wife had something going on. Took both
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: kids with me and uh, opted for no stroller. Don't
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: don't recommend that. Learned that lesson the next week brought
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: that sucker with us.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, love it. James, thanks for the time. Always appreciate
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: your jumping on with us. Thank James.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Lads Zone Jaguars general manager plenty ahead will come back.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I'm xlam Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. It is
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Jaguars Happy Hour.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: I feel like I've been in so many different systems now,
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: it's just understanding the verbage. I always say, like pretty
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: much teams run the same stuff, it's just what you
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: call it. So if I can get all the names
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: glued down, I think that would be a big help
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: for me. But I wouldn't say I'm learning too much.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: It's the same as saying I'm trying to refine it
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: the things I am learning that really need to hold
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: onto those, but refining for sure.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Timing routes and stuff. You haven't had an off season
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: ever before, so.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, but that's football though, So I would say
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: that part though, on the field part is maybe a
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: little easier for me, just just being in the classroom
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: making sure, like I said, I get the words down
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: so when they do call it, I don't have to
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: stop think what's this in this offense and then go
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: line up.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers, Jaguars receiver. Earlier today, Welcome back. It is
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Jaguars Happy Hour from the Hondai Studios. Tend to next
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Lam Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, JP Shadwick, Jeff Logoman
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Ore thanks to James Gladstone, Jaguars general manager, for joining us,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: and a little teaser coming up we'll have Microsoft co pilot.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: And it has to do with general manager ages, general
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: manager agents ages, AG.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: I got you, I got you. Well, he's got to
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: be James got to be one of the youngest.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Well we'll find out, all right, and I'm going to
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: ruin the question by telling it now. If not the youngest,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: we will find it out an answer. See okay, see
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: now okay, we might as well. Now we'll wait, we'll wait,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: We'll do it later. Yeah, we could do it now,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: We'll do that, We'll do it later. Interesting there from
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers. Of course, he came in mid season trade
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: from the Raiders and I was like, oh, how is
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: this such an antricate offense?
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Can't he handle it? Can he?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: He stepped right in. He was fantastic down the stretch
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and a big reason why they went on that run
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: down the stretch. But it is his first offseason here
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: and this time with the quarterback and immersing himself even
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: deeper into this offense is valuable. And you heard him
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: there talk about some of the things that he still
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: has to work through. But he's a pros pro. It
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: sounds like to be I like this guy a lot. Well, Well,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: if you watch him on the practice field.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: He is amazing.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's got a work ethic that I think
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: is at extremely high level. And you know, James Gladstone
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: and Liam Cohne and Tony always talk about bringing in
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: guys that can elevate the room. Jacoby Myers not only
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: does he elevate the room, he actually elevates the field
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: because of just the way that he carries himself, the
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: way that he works in practice, the way that he's
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: intentional about everything that he does. It's impressive because you know,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of veteran guys that have kind of
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: are I wan't say all of them have it, but
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: some of them get to the point they feel like, Okay,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I've done there, I've been there, I've done that. I'm okay,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I don't have to go one hundred miles an hour.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: But when you watch Jakobe practice, it is a thing
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: of beauty. It's fun to watch, and I think it's
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: a great example for the entire room to watch a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: guy like that. And I think it also makes guys
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: like Brian Thomas even better. It teaches them because they're
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: still learning. Brian Thomas is so it's Parker. It sets
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: a standard for them. In a perfect world, JP, you
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: would have somebody like him in every position group in
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: a perfect world. And then that doesn't happen all the time,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: but if you had somebody that could set the standard
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: in every room, that would be amazing to have As
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: a football I'm just thinking of fairly recent Jaguar rosters
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: that were winning Jaguar roster. I mean, Marvin Jones was
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: kind of that same ilk of that team that went
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: to the playoffs a few years ago, right, I.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Mean, in that veteran guy in that room, right who
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: does it the right way.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: May not be a massive stats guy, but you know
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: he's going to be reliable and catch the ball.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of similarities in that regard at least.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think Jacoby's a bigger play as a
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: more explosive player. I think a lot of players are
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: more explosive than Marvin Jones was. And I think also
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: too because like when you like just to focus in
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: on the wide receiver room for for example, Okay, Edgar
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Bennet's an excellent wide receivers coach, and there's a lot
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: of familiarity between Edgar and Jacoby.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: They spent some time together before.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: And when you have a young player in the room,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: sometimes when he hears it come from the coach, it
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: doesn't quite make the same transmission into the brain.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Of the young player makes sense.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it has to be coming from a player. It's
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: no different than sometimes GP and you're not there yet.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Sometimes as a parent, you try to talk to one
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: of your kids, you tell them something, and all of
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: a sudden it falls on deaf ears. But then when
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: they hear it from somebody else, they hear it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: They take it in.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: And so I think in a lot of ways, it's
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: similar like that. And so that's why you always love
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: having a veteran presence in every room that you have.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: It's very rare that you would.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Like to say, hey, look let's just commit to youth
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: here in this position group and let's go.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: You know, in the.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Perfect world, you like to have some kind a veteran
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: guy to help with that entire room.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Sure. Edgar Bennett one of the great athletes to come
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: out of Jacksonville ever.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: He ended my career. Really, Yeah, Edgar Bennett ended my career.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Really. You never heard the story. Hear this? It seems
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: to me so Edgar.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Was a running back for the Chicago Bears. And this
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: was at the end nineteen ninety eight. Yeah, okay, and
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: so this was year ten for me. It was the
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: fourth play of the game in Chicago and the opening game,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and I was the right defensive end and play goes
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: away and I'm trailing down the line of scrimmage. I
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: got a little too tight and Edgar plants his foot
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: and goes to cut and bounce outside of me, and
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I try to redirect, and I dive and put my
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: arm out to tackle his leg, and Edgar was if
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: you remember Edgar was.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: He ran with high knees, kind of like.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: A Roger Craig style running, and so that leg high
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: knees and he's kicking his leg out. Well, he hit
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: my arm and literally extended my elbow and my elbow
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: my bice up tendon, which attaches down into your elbow.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: It popped the distal bicep tend and my biceup rolled
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: up like a window shade.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: That's not great.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: And that was the end of the whole year. And
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: so it was all Edgar Bennett's fault. The end of
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: my career. We're gonna hear from Edgar Bennett and all
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars assistant coaches on Monday afternoon. They'll be
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: available to the media just before the off season break here,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: so we'll get to hear from him coming up in
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: just a little bit. We're backing them all my lugs
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: and we'll dig into defense and what this group can do.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: What you've seen has talked a little bit with James
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: about it. We'll dig a little deeper into what the
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: secondary has been doing for they've they've been looking really
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: good to my eyes, really good.
• 28:09

• 28:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think, I think we have a good
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: chance to win the whole thing. And you know, talking
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: to the coaches during all season, you know the plan was,
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: you know, we had a different strategy coming to this,
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: you know, attacking this program right here, and you know,
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: so far, you know, I think we've gone better as
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: a unit. There's still steps that we need to take
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: to become the defense that we need to become. Do
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: I think we're there right now? I don't think so.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: But do I see the growth in the mindset that
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: everybody has to attack each.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: And every day?
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: Yes, I do so that kind of gives me hope
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: that they know that we are taking all steps.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: J aj Josh heinz Allen. Earlier this week, Full press
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: conferences from the week at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: You Two Welcome Back.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: It is Jaguars Happy Hour.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: JP Shatick with Jeff Logoman from the Hundai studios at
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: the Miller Electric Center and log Josh says that no,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: he's not bigger.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: They kept asking, well, you look bigger, you look bigger.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: He's like, I'm not bigger.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I'm the same way, you know whatever, And then he's
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: asking him what do you think I wait, and they
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: started guessing. He never said the number, and he's like, no,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I'm just had worked out this offseason.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they think him and Trayvon both look like in
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: great shape. Do you think he's bigger? I don't bigger
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: or not?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I mean Trayvon definitely looked bigger, and when I talked
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: to him, he definitely was, you know, a little bit
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: heavier than what he'd been playing at. But you know,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: speaking of that position group, you know last year you
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: had bj Green, Danny Strigo, Yes that that were obviously
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: undrafted guys that made the team and then had an impact,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: especially down the stretch. And BJ Green I thought was
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: arguably one of your better pass rushers because of his
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: success rate if he didn't have some penalties involved to
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: take away some of his sacks. He's got some twitch.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of guys that got twitched. But
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: and you would have thought maybe that they would say,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: you know, hey, look we feel good about that edge position.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: You know, let's not address it a whole bunch.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Well they did.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: You got Durfy and Williams that you know, two dollars
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: defensive ends, and Williams from Duke has got some violence
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: to him. Durfy's got kind of a lot of attributes
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: like Strigo. So I think that that position group is
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot of fun to watch. And
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you've got some depth there, and
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: you just hope that you.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Have the.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Emergence of talents that show there and the development happens
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: at that position group because I mean it's a premium position. Sure,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I mean pass Rusher is as a premium position, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the more premium dollars well, not top market dollars, but
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: high dollars to both the top two guys right now
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: you are, And I think both of those deals are fair.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I thought that the most recent one with Trayvon, I
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: thought was a very good deal for both sides. So
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I like the fact that you have young, less costly,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: you know, players that are behind those two guys, because
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, from a salary's cap standpoint, that's what you
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: gotta have. La I mean, well, I mean you got
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to have some of that. I mean you have the
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: haves and then you have the may haves at some point.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I have not, I have they got as
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: much stuff as the other guys. They don't qualify into they.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Have not category.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: They got things put the minimum salary now, I think
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: it about averaging about a million dollars a year.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think that that would qualify as have not.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: He's doing fine. Yeah, it's just your perspective. I suppose
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: that's all it is, but I like those guys especially. Yeah,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I think that, you know, much like I was mentioning
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: with James Gladstone about the interior the offensive line being
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: something that's going to be, uh need to be. You're
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: gonna need to watch it closely because it's gonna be
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: highly competitive. Look, we know who the two starters are
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: at the edge positions, but once you get behind that,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: that is where it's going to be really competitive. With
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: bj Green and Williams and Strigo and Durfy, that's gonna
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: be really fun to watch. And we can get into
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the interior as well. Devon Hamilton Albert Regis was a
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: pick this year. You know, a roller came in and them.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: You know, they got Rose, they got.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Around right. It was tough last year.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: They just got Clinton Bohanna recently. So there's names there
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: who's going to emerge, maybe not take over a starting role,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: but how do they fortify the interior of that team line.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: We've been talking about that all off season and and
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: and real quick.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: On Eric armstead Er, I think that the role for
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: him is going to be very well defined this year.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: You know it because you know, you go back two
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: years ago, we were like is he an n Is
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: he a tackle?
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: We don't know what he is? And he was playing
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: end and we're like, we are.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Two different versions of that, and yeah, yeah, and he
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: would say what thing the other. I think we just
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: agreed to forget about it and not talk about that
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: and try to figure that out anymore. And going ahead,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: he's a tackle. And I thought that in the role
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: that he had last year, prior to the injury, he
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: was his production was perfect. I mean, you couldn't ask
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: for more. I mean you can, you always want more,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: but simple fact is is that his production was outstanding,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: and then the injury happened and it tailed off a
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: little bit. And so if you can get the production
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: that he had pre injury last year through the entire
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: season this year, I mean, he's worth every penny that
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: you're going to be paying him.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the last year of the deal, right,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I think it is. I think it is. Yeah, I
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: think it is.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: And I think it was that around seventeen and he's
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: fourteen something like that.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: I think they could get out of it if they
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: really needed to. Yeah, but he's play still good playing well.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Don't get rid of good players. Yeah, I mean that's Look,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: he's playing twelve coming up. He's playing well and he
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: looks healthy.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Last year had this back thing that kept him out
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: and uh finally came back late in the preseason. Now
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: he's been doing everything which is which is which is great,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: which is a good sign.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: It's a really good sign.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Let's get to the group that you briefly touched on
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: with the James Gladstone earlier.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: GM joined us in the first segment.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: If you missed it, check out the archive coming up
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: on Jaguars dot com. But the secondary play, You've made
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: an excellent point. Two starting players in the secondary are
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: not out there in Jordan Lewis and Travis Hunter. We
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: heard that in the playoff game, and we saw a
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: big reason why they lost that playoff game. When you
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: don't have your top two cornerbacks out there, or two
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: of your top cornerbacks out there, it's a problem.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: They're not out there right now.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: But some other guys are stepping in in a non
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: padded situation right and stepping out. What do you think, Well,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: first of all, I've been very impressed with Monterrey Brown.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: He's the same guy, but he just keeps getting a
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: little bit better. Every year and that's been the impressive
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: thing with Monterrey Brown. So it's good to see him.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Jarion Jones, you can see he's he's such a bigger corner. Yes,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: you know, he's got bigger he's I think he's been
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: in the weight room. I mean he's and he's been anyway.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he's got size to him, and so that's
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: been impressive to watch. But I think the really interesting
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: thing for me with his secondary is the mix of
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: safeties that they have. And obviously Andrew Winger Dewey is
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: gone yep, and he's in Arizona now, but Eric Murray
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: is back, he had the injury last year. And then
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: you have Antonio Johnson, you have Caleb Brants, all Ray
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: on lane. You have a lot of guys that can
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: play safety. And I think that, you know, much like
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the new wave of or popularity of the tight end
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, there's got to be a response to
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: that from a defensive schematics standpoint, and I think the
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: response to that is more safety, versatility performances on defense.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: And the Jaguars have some really good safety players. Antonio
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Johnson's got some tremendous size. I mean, he looks like
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: he's a tight end kind of in a lot of respect.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Let's see he is looking for him here we go.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: He's listed at six to two. He looks bigger than that.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe he is bigger than that now, but
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: I mean his ability to play in the box. I
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: think it gives them some added versatility. Cale Bransaw, who
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see in live action because we
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: didn't get to see him at all last year. Looking
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: forward to him and Eric Burray is just so consistent,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: and you're leaving out a rookie Jalen Husky the draft pick.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Well, and look at what he can bring it too.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't intentional, Okay, because I like my Maryland
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Turp guys. Okay, I'm a big fan of Marko, Jospher
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Jalen Husky. Those are only two that you like. All
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: the rest of them are boomer sizing it kind of
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: a little bit, you know, But but look, I think
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: he's got great ball skills, and so now you're talking
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: about a guy that's got great ball skills. But for
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: him to be able to reach the level that those guys,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: they got a little step on him just because of
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: the experienced time on task. Even though Cale Bransall hasn't played,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: but he's been around the system a little bit long.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Husky's got size six two two one for Husky and
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: he's hungry.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And we had him in here and it was
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: fun to listen to him and you could tell that
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: he was a guy that is a competitor and he
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: wants to be on the field. He expects to be
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: on the field. So that's a that's a really interesting group.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: The Corner group, in my opinion, solid, but it's a
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: group that needs Travis Hunter. You know, I think that
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: that's Look, that's your marquee guy. He's your hands down
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: best corner that you have. Jordan Lewis, I think is
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: your second Montera probably right there and third, And obviously
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis is a nickel and that's kind of what
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: he's done exclusively.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: But if you want this.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Group to be able to raise its level, it's got
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: to have twelve. Twelve's got to be out there on
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: a more consistent basis than he was last year.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: They need him ten to excel.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, We're back in a moment
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: on Jaguars Happy Hour and we'll talk to the computer logs.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Your favorite about general manager ages.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Are we going to like parol? We're gonna talk about
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: multiple general managers? No, Okay, what I want to ask
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: you a question, It's gonna answer it. It always does.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: That's coming up. It's Jaguars Happy Hour.
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: Really jacked about so much of the the information that
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: we were able to leverage, specifically from everybody in this
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: room as a part of the decision making process.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: Along the way.
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: I know I popped my head in briefly here and there,
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: but you know, there were so many little nuances throughout
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: the chorus of the draft itself that I was leaning
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: on as a part of the why behind some of
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: the selections. Like I know I mentioned the Corey just
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: the the nugget from him in the interview with Husky, right,
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: the sentiment that he shared as a part of that
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: note and part of that commentary was really meaningful. And
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: I can't wait to see who from this crop earns
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: their place this offseason and into training camp and started
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: the next season, because I know there's somebody, and I
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: know there's a lot of passion poured into it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of conviction in many of the players
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: that we ended up signing.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: I know it's not always easy, especially when we got
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: so many picks at the back end of the draft,
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: so to plow through it in the way that you were,
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm proud to have observed from Afar. I'm
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: proud to have just see the results as they stand,
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: but I'm very much appreciative of everything that went in
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: to bring me this to life.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: That is a teezer from the Hunt episode too Tonight
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: seven o'clock, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, and inside look
• 40:48

  Speaker 2: You're a big soccer guy. I'm not a soccer guy.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I like watching full and plays. So Africa is down
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: to nine players. They've had two players kicked out of
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: the game. You were explaining a lot of the rules
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: to me during the breaks that we've had.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: So I'm learning. I'm learning about soccer. You got a
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: World Cup, you got a month and a half to
• 41:29

  Speaker 2: today was a pretty cool day. Just because for the
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: last month or so I've been watching, you know, the
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: stadium construction is happening obviously constantly, but they have been
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: It's almost like an erector set. Some of the white
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: steel beams that are going up around the stadium, very
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: similar to Daily's place, right, the same kind of look.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: It's it's what they call architectural engineering design. Okay, So
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: they had this big giant white steel thing that they
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: were putting together on the ground, real technical term, and
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, what is that going to be?
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Well today they got this big giant, massive crane and
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: they put it up and it's like a light tower.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: Now, yeah, it was pretty light. Yeah, I mean that's
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: and they got of the roof and the light tower
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: part of the roof later. Very cool stuff. Yeah.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: So, uh, if you're watching on Jaguars dot com you
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: have a live lookout there, it is right there right
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: in the right top middle of the screen. That's that big
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: red crane. That's the big thing that picked it up.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: It was impressive to watch today. I mean, I'm just
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: I've been sitting there for people watching them build this
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: thing on the ground. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: It's pretty pretty impressive. Actually went up today.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: The Miller Lecture Center, of course, is like right across
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: the little driveway from the stadium, so we can sit
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: in the desk in here.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: And I mean there's like shaking going on. It's like
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: an earthquake at times. At times.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: And by the way, you did a great job yesterday
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: when they had the practice open up to the public
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: and there was it.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Was packed, two thousand people in the.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Stand and you did a great job of MC in
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: the practice anty. They had a good time. I think
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the fans had a good time. Yes, Oh, I don't
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: think they. I don't think there's any doubt. I think
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: they had a great time. And I'm red zone periods
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: in front of him, and they got to see Brian
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Thomas Junior have an excellent day yesterday. That was a
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: lot of fun to watch. I really enjoyed watching him.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: It's time to talk to Microsoft co pilot about our
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: guest from earlier.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: Well, not really, we'll see. Maybe it'll be the answer.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Here's the question, who is the youngest general manager in
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: NFL history?
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: You kind of gave it away there, did I Yeah,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: you did. I don't think so.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: The answer is Andrew Berry is the youngest GM in
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: NFL history, been hired by the Browns in January twenty
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: twenty at age thirty two.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: He broke the previous.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Age Berry when the Browns named a GM and Executive
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: VP of Football Ops, making him the youngest person ever
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: to hold the title in league history. You have a
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Microsoft Copilot, ask and you shall receive an answer of
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: some kind.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of crazy. Thirty two years old.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and now James was thirty four last year when
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: he got the job, turned thirty five in June. Actually,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: he was thirty three when he got the job last year,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: and he turned thirty four in June last year, and
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: now just turned thirty five. They they kind of have
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: a different approach in Cleveland. They rely on.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: How much time do we have left on the show?
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: I'm being nice. I'm being nice.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I have a different approach in Cleveland. And yeah, sometimes
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: you wonder who came up with that approach, but there
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: is I mean, I just wonder how he's gonna end
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: up being perceived long term, because you just traded away
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest players in NFL history, and end
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: you traded away the opportunity to bring the Heisman, Thank
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: goodness they did. You traded away the opportunity to bring
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: the Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter into your program in Cleveland.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: And so what will be the long term view of
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Andrew Berry.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: He'd better win because right now you just traded away
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: the two extremely popular players that could have been wearing
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns uniform.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: And the Miles Garrett trade caught me by surprise.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: I was like what And okay, by the way, he
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: was there when they traded for Deshaan Watson too.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: You want to go deeper than that. They've got such quarterbacks.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Which is viewed as hands down the worst trade in
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: the NFL. His he gave him a full guaranteed contract,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: got the Texans out of all this underwater stuff they
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: were involved in. And it's not just off the hook
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: at JP. Is not just that with the Cleveland there's
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: other things that they have done from a contractual standpoint
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: and from personnel standpoint that you sit sit there and
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: you shake your head and you go why why why
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: did you do that?
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: And it's Jared First might be a good player in time,
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Oh not in time. He's a good player now, but
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: he's Miles Garrett.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Miles Garrett his hands down the most feared defensive lineman
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: in football. Nobody else comes close to him. The guy
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: that's probably the closest to him in recent history was
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: the guy that retired that may come back out of retirement.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Which was Aaron Donalds. Right.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I mean that's that's like one of the most feared
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: guys ever. Miles Garrett was the most feared. Now. I
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: don't really even want to ask this question, to ask
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: you anyway, just for fun, like do you think he's
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: still in shape?
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Aaron? Oh my god. Yeah, it's like asking somebody. That's
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: like asking Michael Jordan.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Can you still dunky? Yes, it's just fine. We can
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: get up that high. I'll bet you that. Like Paul
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: is lostning. Okay, the pause when he retired, I mean
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: next year he lost weight, but sure he could have
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: been back in plane shape and no time flat probably now,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Aaron Donald I would assume that he could probably get
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: back into plane shape pretty quick.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: And if he does come back, how cool would that be?
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: We're not playing the Rams, that'd be all right, Shure,
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: it'd be fine. Miles Miles Garrett.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: When I saw the trade, I thought it was a hoax.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: At first, I was like, Ah, it's just you know,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: that's fake, fake news. He had no trade clause, right,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: and I was like, Okay, who's really going to do it?
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: And then they found it, and you know what, if
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: you're that guy, you probably want to go play for
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: the Rams right now because they have a chance to
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: win it all the time, and uh, they're going after it.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Miles Garrett took a pay cut. Okay, we got a
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: new contract. Yeah we still took Yeah, sure, this is
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: California stuff. Fuddy, Yeah, California taxes, that's all it is.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: They get you there in California. Hey, coming up, Nick
