  Speaker 3: at the Hondai Studios in Jacksonville, Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles, California,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: and at long Last, guys, At long last, there is
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Jaguars news this week.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It's been a long time coming, buck Well.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Long time comings to offseason. I mean, this is what
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: we do. We're just kind of landing to cut Sat
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: out free agency. Mostly the drafts are still a month away.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: So yeah, there has been a lot to talk about.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: It's been a great off season, a great off season,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and I want to say that because again I am
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: completely comfortable with not making splash moves and it's about time.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It's about time the franchise got back to not I mean,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and I think it was it was Liam who said
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: somewhere that Shad had mentioned somewhere that if we could
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: keep the coaches out of the building during free agency.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: We could save a lot of money in this league.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And there's some truth to that statement. Sure, there really
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is some truth to that statement of just silly spending
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: this time here. But I digress. We're onto other things.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: But yes, it's been a wonderful offseason.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Well, we've got plenty to get to today.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: The Jaguars will be playing in Orlando in twenty twenty seven. Officially,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: we'll have a review of Wednesday's press conference coming up
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: from down in Orlando and we'll hear from JAG's owners
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: shod Con. But also this week NFL annual meeting at
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the Biltmore in Phoenix, Arizona, including the AFC Coach's Breakfast.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Earlier this week, Liam Cohen, Jaguars head coach, asked how
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars handle success going into year two.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Something weird we need to be guarded against as a
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: staff and as an organization is you know, we have
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: a lot of room to improve. We will, we need
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: to get better and improve, and that may not be
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: thirteen wins, like don't I don't know. I can't say that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I don't know what those results are, but I know
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: if we're chasing those results. We're not going to be
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: living in the moment. We're not going to get the
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: best version of ourselves every day. And so when we
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: get back to this with that less time as a
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: coaching staff, with less time with the players as not
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: a new coaching staff, we need to be as intentional
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: as ever with the way that we attack each day,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: be as clear and concise with the players when they
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: come back in about what that looks like and how
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: it's going to get done. And we got no time
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: to waste.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: That's Liam Cohen earlier this week. John Hey Becky.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's an important point. Look, I kind of
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: believe and I've covered a couple of extended runs of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: success the Jaguars in the nineties. I was with the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Colts when they won I think seven or eight, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: made the playoffs, seveenter eight years in a row and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: won twelve a bunch of times. There's other franchises that
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: do this. Jagger's haven't done in a long time, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I think this franchise is capable of it with Liam
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and Trevor and a couple of the core pieces. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I think it's an important point that Liam made that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: we can talk about thirteen and four probably won't happen
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: every year, but if you're having a run of success
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: like that, you've got to have a couple of years
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: where you get through it. I don't know if they'll
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: win thirteen or fourteen. They may have a tough stretch
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: next to your injuries. But if you if you have
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a run like that eleven and six, twelve and five
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: getting in and making a run, those shouldn't be considered unsuccessful.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: If you get in, if you're eleven or up the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: number within that, Yes, fifteen is better than eleven JP.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you know that or not. Fifteen is
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: more than it depends on what you're counting, it's true.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: But the point is the idea is to get in
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: every year. Thirteen may not happen every year, but eleven
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and six, twelve and five, you know that's successful and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you have to pull those off to have a long run.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I really like this. I think it's a very
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: mature approach from Liam to throw out the record and
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: not really focus on the results and just talk about
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: like the process and kind of stick to what they've
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: been talking about the entire time. Because what happens is
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: everyone from the outside is going to want to talk
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: about the next step, and the next step is getting
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: to the championship game or the Super Bowl. And what
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: that does is that adds to the pressure on how
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: you perform. And I think if you just kind of
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: focus on, hey, let's just be, as he says, the
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: best version of ourselves. Let's focus on being the best
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: team that we can put out there and whatever the
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: record is, the record is. I think it allows the
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: players to play freely. It allows them to kind of
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: focus on kind of like the micro part of building
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: up the team as opposed to worrying so much about
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: what is it going to look like at the end
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: of the season. Let's just continue to stack days like
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: the players talk about all the time, and then if
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: we're good enough, will be exactly the team that we
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: want to be at the end. But it's no need
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: to kind of burden ourselves with the mental stress of
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: trying to be a super Bowl team or anything like that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Let's just get better and focused on that part of it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you also do want to get into a point
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of Okay, say they have a rough patch and they're
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: five and four, which doesn't put you out of anything
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in this league. Well you don't want to have this
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: inside the team narrative. Well we can't. You know, we
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: can't get fourteen and three. So you know, you can't
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: be looking at the final record in September and worried
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: about that, because then your eyes way off the ball.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: That's not what they did last year. That's not how
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: good teams do it. Good teams aren't sitting there thinking Okay, okay,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: how can we get to fourteen and two? It's how
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: can we maximize the record? How can we get in
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I think the quote I like best from the owners
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: meetings from Liam. He spoke to Ryan O'Halleran Bucky and
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: he said, you know, we don't want to let the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: stink of success cover up what really stinks. And I'm
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: paraphrasing that, but he's talking about, let's not, you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: get overwhelmed in the success and forget that we have
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to run the ball better, forget that we need to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: rush the pass or better. Don't let that stink of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: success cover up what really does stink.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah No, and I think that's really important. I think
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: they certainly accomplished a lot last year, but it wasn't perfect.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: It wasn't ideal. And as they're comparing themselves to like
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: the ideal team they want to be. They want to
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: be able to run the football, they want to be
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: able to impost it will and there were too many
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: times last year where they couldn't get that done. So
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: to be that team that he envisions down the road,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: you have to focus on that. And we know only
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: good things have when we're able to run the ball effectively.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: It's going to lighten the load on Trevor Lawrence, is
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: going to create more big play opportunities in the passing game,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and ultimately that's going to make the Jacks a better team.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: But it's focusing on the little things because how you
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: do the small thing, how you do all things.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Bucky's right. I mean everybody don't know. But
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: he's doing the Fernando Mendoza. We're on audio, not videos,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: so you can't see that. Bucky is dressed to the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: not there is no pullover, sweatshirt, there's no involved today.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: This is I mean in the closet, maybe a tie
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: off screen. He's going on. So Bucky's ready. I expect
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: much better. I expect that was a good line. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: expect you to improve the show.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Goods great stuff.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Let's hear again from Jaguars head coach Willam Cohen. The Jaguars,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: of course, lost a couple key starters in free agency,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: including linebacker Devin Lloyd, so no backfill and free agency
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: so far. Could this be the opportunity that Vinrel Miller
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: is looking for?
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Benchros has to play a lot of meaningful snaps last year.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: I think you we saw some really good things and
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: then there's some things we can can see a coach
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: off of. And I think anytime you give a player
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: like confidence without telling anything, you know, like right now,
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: if you're him and we haven't signed anybody yet, like
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: you should say, well, at least they believe in me,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: you know, at least they think I can do it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And now it's signing him and and and us.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: To go do it together. But also like, dude, now
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: it's time, Like now it's time to truly go take
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: it over. There's gonna be an opportunity there. And you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: I think Benchall is made of the right stuff. I
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: think he cares enough about it from a week above
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: me standpoint that he's gonna put the time.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: In to do it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: And then I'm excited about what that could look like.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: That's William Cohen, of course, John this week and yeah,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: we'll see.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: If he says there's gonna be an opportunity, there's probably
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: gonna be one.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And look, I ideally they would have kept Devin
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: and Travis, right, everybody gets that, meaning Devin Lloyd and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Travis etn a running back. But I don't think any
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: team necessarily even wants to go into seasons anymore with
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: every starter lined up. You want some competition, you have to.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: You have to turn in the roster. In this day
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and age, you can't. It's not the seventies where the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Steelers could roll out the same starting twenty two for
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: five years in a row. So it's a good situation
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: when you've got at outside linebacker, you have Ventro Miller,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: who pushed Devin Lloyd to the point where he was
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: a co starter inning the season. At running back, you've
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: got Touton who had five touchdowns and who showed something.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: They're in a good spot for the positions where they
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: do need to. I think they will draft outside linebacker.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I think they'll draft somewhere running back. But you probably
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: couldn't be in better situation Bucky for that transition, because
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you have to have transition in the NFL. So I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: think they're set up well at those spots.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they are set up well. And speaking
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: specifically d Venturo and Miller, this is a guy that
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: started games for the Jaguars. He was in a heated
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and very intense battle with Devin Lloyd last year. People
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: forget because Devin Lloyd had such a great year, so
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: this is not a new spot for him. I am
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: sure they would draft somebody, They'll put some competition in
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: that spot. Ultimately, Ben Trel gets to control what he controls,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: meaning if he plays well, it's gonna be hard to
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: remove him from the lineup. He just has to focus on,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: as coach talked about, we over me, how can I
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: best help the team? What are the things that I
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: can do to make sure that his defense continues to
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: play at a high level. If he does those things,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: he'll be a key contributor and maybe even a starter.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: So he only he has to just focus on those
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: things and not worry about who's in, who's out, who's
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: coming in, who they draft when they draft them, all
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: those things, because ultimately it doesn't matter. He only controls
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: his part.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Of it, and Vin Treil really hasn't been I think
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of fans are familiar with him, but obviously
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: not as familiar as there are with Lloyd and some
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: of the guys who've started. Antonio Johnson, guy's been high profile.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: You've been around him a little bit.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: JP.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you talk about intangibly rich, you talk about
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: a guy who fits what this franchise is.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I don't you know.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: He came in, he didn't play his first year. He
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: had a lot of injuries at Florida, but you know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: loves ball. I mean, that's one of the things this
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: franchise loved. This is a kid who wants it. He
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: was a co start at beginning of the last year,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: but you know, he just about beat him out. I
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: mean it was not a co starter. Was like, well,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: let's throw Ventrell a bone and just kind of have
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: him listed there. That was a tough call, and there
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: were ways that he outplayed Devon in the preseason. Devin
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: had the picks and Devon had the big plays, but
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: vent Trail was right there. So I don't know that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: it's necessarily a drop off if you play Ventrell at
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that spot and if he doesn't make it and doesn't start,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: it won't be because he's not everything they want in
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: that spot.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't underestimate his drive and his passion and what
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: he's had to overcome to even be on the field,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and then that shows in his everyday work.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I think, and Bucky, I think you've gotten to know
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: him a little bit. But good kid.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Look, he's a great kid, and he's super competitive and
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: being around, particularly in the locker room, right halftime in
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: post game. He's one of those guys. He's kind of
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: like the fire starter you looking for leadership and the
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: guys to talk and say things. He is always one
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: of the more vocal guys and when he's had a
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: chance to go in games, he's played pretty well. Now
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: it's about the consistency. Can he continued to stack solid
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: performances on top of solid performances because the guy that
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: he plays beside four year Lui kunt is as consistent
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: as they come. If he can match that level, then
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: his defense would be much better next season.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And one more note thanks to the audio by the
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: way from NFL Media from the NFL or the AFC
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Coaches Breakfast this week, one of the audio we didn't
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: get was William Cohen talking about Travis Hunter. But John
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: you wrote about that on Jaguars dot Com. The rehab
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: is on schedule. At least they have an officially said
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: anything about his you know what they're going to do
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: with him on the field once he finally gets.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Back to Yeah, not a huge you know. I wrote
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: it for for Yesterday because whenever the wind blows, you
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: have to write about Travis Hunters.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: People want to read about it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: So his rehab appears to be on track. I've heard
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: nothing from officially or inside the building to dispute that,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: and I don't know what that's going to look like
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: during OTAs. My sense is he'll have a chance to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: do a little bit of work, but that they will
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: be smart about it. But it's a huge story. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: haven't heard anything to make me think that he won't
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: be one hundred percent going into the season. And the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: dynamic that that brings. I think it's the ultimate wild
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: card for this team. They're already thirteen to four, they're
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: already pretty good. The offense got going, and I'm not
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: saying this is a knock on Travis at all, but
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: in the last eight or nine games, Bucky. I watching
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: this team, you didn't sit there and go, man, if
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: they only had Travis, which I think is a positive,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: because I just wonder how much easier it will be.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: This is the concept that I can't get my head around.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I always asked. I always ask the scout and the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: GM for concepts I can't get my head around. I
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: just wonder if it'll be easier to find a role
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: for him and to define that role this year, because
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: everybody else around him is more defined. You know what
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Parker is, you know what BTJ is. You can kind
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: of close your eyes and envision those roles, and I'm
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: curious to see how Liam's going to fit Travis into
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that unfinished jigsaw.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Puzz. I think it's probably the role that might have
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: been best suited for Travis's skill coming in last year,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: there was so much uncertainty. There was talking about him
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: being the number one receiver. Well, now the Pecan order
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: has kind of been established and he plays a role
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: where it's the wide receiver three or wide receiver four
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: on offense, but he is potentially the number one corner
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: on defense. To me, when you watched him play at Colorado,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: that is what he did well, he's a seaball getball defender,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: great instincts and awareness, so that allows him to kind
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: of put the bulk of his time on defense, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: then you have a small package of plays for him
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: because he is dynamic. I still remember the Monday Night
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: catch against Kansas City where comes and makes a tremendous
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: catch on the ball. So you want to take advantage
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: of those skills. But I think it's more easily defined,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: not only for the rest of the team, but I
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: think it becomes easier for Liam as a play caller
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: now knowing that those guys are established as one, two,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: and three, and Travis is kind of like your gadget
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: guy that you put in in certain situations to take
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: advantage of his skills.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Although the Jags will return to EverBank Stadium in twenty
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: twenty six, plenty is happening behind the scenes.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Construction for the Stadium in the Future is ongoing, and
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: we want you to be prepared when you arrive at
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: the Bank for a game in twenty twenty six. All
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: construction updates and other Stadium in the Future news is
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: available at Jaguars dot com slash Stadium of the Future.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: This is the Huddle Up Podcast, JP Shadrick, John Osier,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: and Bucky Brooks also out of the NFL annual meeting
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: in Phoenix this week. League ownership unanimously approving Camping World
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Stadium in Orlando as the host site for Jaguars home
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: games in twenty twenty seven. Shot Con, Mark lamping Tony
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Boselli all came from Phoenix to Orlando for a Wednesday
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: press conference.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they didn't fly coach.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: They got there today with the Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Orange County Mayor Jerry Dimmings, Jacksonville Mayor don A Degan
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: there as well Florida Centras Sports CEO Steve Hogan.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: All.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Part of the day is today shot con on what
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: the league looks for in temporary homes for.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: Teams when an NFL team has to find a temporary home.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: When it happens, the league is obviously very careful about
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: getting everything right, and that's especially true on game days
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: because the game days are the most important day on
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: the calendar and we want everything to be perfect on
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: game days for the players, officials, fans, sponsors, broadcast partners,
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: and many more. So when you think about getting all
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: that perfect while you're playing your home games on the
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: road for a season, you can understand the league's insistent
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: that everything must be right. So and I believe the
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: league got it right yesterday with the unanimous approval of
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: Orlando is our home here next year in twenty twenty seven.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: So I do want to thank Commissioner Roger Goodell and
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: the other thirty one owners. Obviously we were sold on
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Orlando from day one, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: particular for their support and really making all this happen
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: along with all the people who were here.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Obviously wouldn't happen without you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: So we look forward to getting to know you better
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: and for our cities to get closer for the months
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: and years ahead. And thank you very much for being
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: here and go Jags.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Set con earlier on Wednesday, the full press conference and
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: media availability at Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, and Bucky.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's fairly rare.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Bears did it most notably when they
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: renovated Soldier Field, they had to go down and play
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: at place looks close to shod Conocourse University of Illinois.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: So that's a little bit of the explanation behind it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: The Buccaneers have some rights to that marketplace. We won't
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: get into full detail of that. That's why you think
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the buck's there. But now it's a box checked and
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: the Jags can now work on the logistics behind it
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: to be ready.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it could be a fantastic thing. I
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: think it gives the Jags an opportunity to expand the
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: fan base while still stay close enough for the true
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: fans to come down and be a part of it. Also,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the stability and being in the same place for each
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: of your home games as opposed to bouncing around. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: think it makes it an easier deal for the team
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: to get prepared, team to get ready for And because
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: we're talking about not this year but next year. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: just think it's a great move. And we know Cier
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Orlando is great. It'd be a fun I guess staycation
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: for some people to get away while still taking into
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Jaguars games for a weekend. Should be a fun experience
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: for everybody involved.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Me and Bucky will be hitting uh what's the uh
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Treasure Island is where that is?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I may go maybe may go to Disney a few times.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, like it'll change change my routine coming in.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: But you're gonna run the tea cups, the teacup ride, Bucky,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: You're gonna ride that.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: I gotta be careful. I may have to take a
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: little drummer and a little queasy. I can a little
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: queezy on rides, and even though the teacups are light spinning,
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: can get your boys. I gotta be careful.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to assume because the staff of the Jaguars
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: does a great job presenting games, so I'm gonna assume
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: the game is gonna get presented great. There's more of
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: a football show. So I asked Bucky a football question
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: about this. I've gotten a lot of input from fans,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and I think understandably so uh only I think six
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: regular season games at the Bank next year, which means
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you're away from here a lot, and then none in
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. My experience around good teams again, when
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I was with the Cold, they were a very good
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: road team. This team last year was a very good
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: road team. Went and beat Denver, went and beat San Francisco.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I think they lost two road games, didn't have a
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: great day in London. But beyond that, away from here,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: should have beaten Cincinnati and shouldn't beat in Houston. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: mean it was a very good road team. I'm around it, Bucky.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: You're more in the locker room on game day.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Than I am.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I kind of have confidence in this group the way
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: they do things. I think it's important to have established
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: what they established last year, because I do think there
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: is something about the process of going on the road.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Once teams figure out how to do it well, you
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: can stay in a routine and stay in a mindset
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: of it. Am I going down the right path? There
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: is there something to that. Do you have confidence in
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: this team playing wherever they need to play?
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, like, however you want to say it,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Like some people say spot the ball, other people say anyone, anytime,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: any place, like it doesn't it doesn't matter. Like I
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: think you take all the excuses away from the players.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: You say, look, this is what it is, no excuses.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: We expect to go and play well, whether that's in Orlando, Jacksonville,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: going to London, going on the road to play any
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: of the teams. We expect to be the same team.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: And the good teams travel well, they continue to bring
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: the same consistent performance home road that is a maturity
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: about being a championship caliber team, and what we hope
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: to do is continue to take strides to being at
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: But now, what it does, it gives Liam and the
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: staff a full year to study how other teams have
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: done it and done it successfully when they've had to
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: play at a neutral site or they had to play
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: away from their normal home. What do they do to
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: get ready? Does it change the way that they go
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: to the game. Do they go to Orlando the night before?
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Do they go with the day of or like Saturday
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: as opposed to Friday, Like what is the travel logistics
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: all about? So it gives them plenty of time the
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: plan prepare well, Like I think at the end of
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: the day, man, when we kick it off down in Orlando,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: this team is gonna be ready to play. Well.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've always kind of thought JP and you you
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: probably know where I'm going with this, because we talked
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: a lot about these kind of things. People get really
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: caught up in, like teams record in certain situations. You know,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: what are they on the road, what are they on
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: the West coast? You know, for years and Jaguars couldn't
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: win on the West Coast right, Well, guess what. For
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: years of Jared's weren't very good at an't win anywhere
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: no matter what time. So and about that, but you
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: know it's good teams tend to win wherever they go play,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: and I think this team. So for people who are
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: worried about, well they're only playing six games at the Bank, well, okay,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Well they beat Denver in San Francisco on the road
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Those were.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Outside of La me and the Rams in Seattle. It
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: was maybe the two toughest games and they went and
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: handled it. So I don't necessarily I know it's going
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: to be a topic because it's an easy topic, but
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I don't worry about that with this team going forward, We've.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Got plenty of time to dig into that. Moving ahead.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Final quick thought with you, Buck.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: You got Fernando Mendozo's pro day coming up on Wednesday?
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Does it matter? I mean, what does he have to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: do to not be the number one pick?
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Oh? Look, I don't think it matters now, but I
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: think it matters from my perspective. Like you just think
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: about like all the number one picks and the quarterbacks
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: that have been number one. You want to see how
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: he sacks up in comparison to those guys. What does
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: he look like, going all the way back to Matthew Stafford,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: how does he compare it to Trevor Lawrence? What are
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: his tools and talent like compared to those guys. Because
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: there's one thing about being a number one overall pick.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Everybody expects you to be the best player in the
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: draft class. And whether it's true or not, there's the
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: expectation that when the number one overall pick takes the field,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: particularly as a QB one, he's special. So I want
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: to get a chance to see how special is Mendoz
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: And because and knowing him and studying him, I know
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: he doesn't have like those special tools physically, so that
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: means the intangibles, the other stuff has to be off
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: the charts to warrant being the number one overall pick
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: regards to where he goes. He's going to go number
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: one or whatever, but I want to see what that
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: looks like in comparison, because going to the AFC, we
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: know the AFC is loaded with quarterbacks, loaded with elite quarterbacks.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: If you don't have a quarterback, you don't have a chance.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: So let's see what he looks like in comparison with
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: the guys that are really holding it down into AFC.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Landscape, John, I know he's gonna throw the heck out
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: of a back shoulder throw.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm wondering and doing my pre draft work. I
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: see where a Bucky's guy DJ compares Mendoza to cam Ward.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I get the sense the DJ likes Mendoza more than you.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: He does. There are a lot of people that do.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: It's funny, like you talk to coaches. Coaches love Mendoza,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: but a lot of times because he can speak their language,
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: he can get on the board and X and O
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: and do those other things. For me, I kind of
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: look at him like if I'm playing defense to get
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: him against him? What it is superpowers? And everyone talked
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: about the superpowers being the intangibles to trade the toughness
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: and all that, Like that's great, but at some point
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: you got to make this throw from the opposite hash
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: to the sideline and can he deliver a don and
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: in the league because it quickly adapts what happens when
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: they take away his first read? Does he have the
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: ability to get to the second and third read? What
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: happens in a critical moment when he has to make
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: a big boy throw. We've seen our own Trevor Lawrence
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: have to make some of those plays last year. Camn
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: those who do that. So from a physical standpoint, that's
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: why I'm not asignum. He reminds me a lot of
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Jared Golf. Yeah, and Jered Golf has been a four
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: time Pro Bowl player, but the machine and the support
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: system around him has been elite, and so I think
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: very similar with Mendoza. He's going to need to have
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: elite personnel around him to be the player that they
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: expected me as a number one overall.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Pick JP In thirty years doing this, I've been around
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of backup quarterback you know what they all
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: have in here?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: They are I want.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I want my guy that I'm rolling out there to
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: have some tangibles.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: So that's also why some of the bus has been
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: on him and even the other quarterback to Simpson, because
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: all those intangible guys now have microphones, are on TV
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: and they love people that oh yeah, they remember I
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: love people that remind them of their ZiLs. But I
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: will tell you he loves this guy. He loves There's
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: a difference when someone is throwing a ninety six miles
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: an hour fastball and someone is having to live with
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: the knuckling. I like the knuckleball as a novelty. You
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: ain't gonna win a whole lot of games the knuckleball, Right, do.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: You want to start game one of the series with
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the guy with tangible?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah? You need your number one guy out there, all right, buck, Buck,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: you're our number one guy. Appreciate you. You're the starter.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, we got we got to start research. I gotta
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: research some hotels down in Orlando between twenty so I
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: gotta figure out what kind of adendum to put in
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: the contract and see where we can stay a branch.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Fucking bug. Thanks shoutah Oser, I'm j P. Shandferger. Thanks
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: to David, Joe and Joe Fortuneto. Thanks for listening to
