Speaker 1: JEFFU Warris, did you know Jack Jack Warris? Did you
0:03
Speaker 1: know Jack Warres? Drive Time? Righting sex steps John, Actually,
0:12
Speaker 1: Jack Warres drive Time starts right now. Actually haven't had
0:18
Speaker 1: a camp like this going into it since I guess
0:21
Speaker 1: my senior year of high school. So it's it's it's
0:24
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Um, you know, kind of just being with
0:27
Speaker 1: the guys. I'm trying to figure out how we, you know,
0:29
Speaker 1: what we want to be as a team, because we
0:31
Speaker 1: get to define that right now. There's a group of
0:33
Speaker 1: the group of guys on this team, group of leaders
0:36
Speaker 1: that have a very real opportunity to change culture here,
0:38
Speaker 1: to develop a winning culture. Um. And I think it's
0:41
Speaker 1: already starting. Our first look at Gardner Minshew on the
0:48
Speaker 1: field ever since the last game of the regular season
0:51
Speaker 1: last year, finally on the field, seeing guys in helmets
0:54
Speaker 1: of working as of yesterday welcoming to Jaguars drive Time
0:58
Speaker 1: are new at home setups. This is what drive Time
1:00
Speaker 1: will look at like the entire season. So bear with
1:03
Speaker 1: us as we're trying to figure everything out. And due
1:05
Speaker 1: to COVID as we welcome in Brian Sexton and John
1:09
Speaker 1: and Osier finally got to see them on the practice
1:12
Speaker 1: world yesterday, and guys, it's crazy to think that ever
1:16
Speaker 1: since his high school year, this is the first time
1:18
Speaker 1: that Gardner is going into camp knowing, hey, I'm the guy.
1:22
Speaker 1: I can relax about that and just play football. Well,
1:27
Speaker 1: he's always had to earn it. And yesterday after he
1:30
Speaker 1: said that he was at East Carolina two years but
1:33
Speaker 1: didn't actually go into his second year at East c
1:36
Speaker 1: U as the starter. He shared time, which has sort
1:39
Speaker 1: of been the story of his career. But Brian, I
1:42
Speaker 1: get the idea with this guy, he's going to take
1:44
Speaker 1: the leadership role. He's comfortable with it. You saw him
1:47
Speaker 1: on the practice field yesterday. He was clearly the leader,
1:50
Speaker 1: and I think that was conscious. But he's also good
1:52
Speaker 1: at it. But I don't think he's going to go
1:54
Speaker 1: into it thinking, hey, I'm the guy in the sense
1:57
Speaker 1: he's gonna get complacent because that's not what kids about
2:01
Speaker 1: and he can't afford to. He still has to win
2:03
Speaker 1: the job for the long term, meaning he still has
2:05
Speaker 1: to prove that he's the guy. Well, and I think
2:09
Speaker 1: he alluded to his history John and he started at
2:12
Speaker 1: a junior college, went to Troy, went to East Carolina,
2:14
Speaker 1: went to Washington State now is here and so here's
2:18
Speaker 1: the first time he's in one place in back to
2:20
Speaker 1: back years. But he has a brand new offensive coordinator.
2:23
Speaker 1: I think that just makes it easier for him to
2:25
Speaker 1: stay in that mindset that he has. Look, if he
2:29
Speaker 1: was six ft four, he wouldn't have been a sixth
2:31
Speaker 1: round pick. He has all of the intangibles you could
2:33
Speaker 1: possibly want, and he has the bravado and flair that
2:37
Speaker 1: you'd like from the quarterback position. For him, it's always
2:40
Speaker 1: going to be about this, can I have Can I
2:43
Speaker 1: prove that I have the arm strong enough to be
2:45
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback? Um? I'm anxious to see it because
2:49
Speaker 1: as I watched him run around the field yesterday, I
2:51
Speaker 1: saw everything you'd want to see from a guy in
2:54
Speaker 1: terms of leadership, in terms of the way that he
2:57
Speaker 1: owned the offense, and and as you were about here,
3:00
Speaker 1: you know the offense is in its nascent stage. So
3:03
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm eager to see if he can overcome
3:07
Speaker 1: the objections that most people have for him and and
3:11
Speaker 1: become the guy. Yeah. Absolutely, I think we all can
3:16
Speaker 1: at test that we already see the difference just on
3:18
Speaker 1: day one with Gardner Minstion knowing that he is the
3:20
Speaker 1: guy at least for this year, still has to prove
3:22
Speaker 1: it in the long term. So let's get two big things,
3:25
Speaker 1: shall we. Big thing one is diapers. It is not
3:28
Speaker 1: a secret night right now. It is basically football and underwear.
3:32
Speaker 1: You're back to basics. You're conditioning, you're learning formations. Paths
3:36
Speaker 1: do not go on until next week. That needs for
3:39
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. Right now, it's just the
3:42
Speaker 1: meat and potatoes of the offense. We're still in diapers
3:46
Speaker 1: right now. You know, we got a long way to go.
3:48
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm excited about the guys. First of all,
3:51
Speaker 1: you gotta have guys that are willing to learn and
3:52
Speaker 1: willing to work. And I feel like the mentality of
3:55
Speaker 1: this football team. Coach Maron does a great job of
3:57
Speaker 1: setting the tone for this team. And and these guys
3:59
Speaker 1: have come and uh, they don't act like they know
4:02
Speaker 1: it all or that don't have blah blah blah. They
4:04
Speaker 1: they're willing to learn and do things the way we
4:05
Speaker 1: want to do things. Now. The big thing, too is distractions. Football,
4:12
Speaker 1: as we know, is a game of routine. Right now,
4:14
Speaker 1: this new look of football is far from a routine. However,
4:18
Speaker 1: just like if something was happening at home or contract
4:21
Speaker 1: negotiations with the front office. The general manager, Dave Cobble
4:25
Speaker 1: wants these guys to focus on football when they're on
4:28
Speaker 1: the field, not all the COVID nineteen precautions. Football is
4:33
Speaker 1: a game you have to be able to handle distractions,
4:35
Speaker 1: and and every team goes through distractions. And part of
4:38
Speaker 1: our job is trying to limit those distractions for our players.
4:41
Speaker 1: And you know what, the protocols that we put in place.
4:44
Speaker 1: You know, Cassie r I c oh and Scott true
4:47
Speaker 1: Lack have done a tremendous job to try to eliminate
4:49
Speaker 1: those distractions from our players so they could just come
4:51
Speaker 1: in and focus on on football and doing their job.
4:55
Speaker 1: You know, Ultimately, you still have to have the ability
4:57
Speaker 1: to compete and talent and uh, guys have to dus
5:00
Speaker 1: and and and complete the fundamentals and execute properly. And finally,
5:04
Speaker 1: big thing three is debt. Something you really wouldn't think
5:07
Speaker 1: you'd be talking about right now, but the Jaguars are
5:10
Speaker 1: down five defensive linemen. They were somewhat expecting to have
5:14
Speaker 1: free agent Al Woods opts out because of COVID two
5:17
Speaker 1: defensive lineman and I are one on the COVID reserve list.
5:21
Speaker 1: And of course this is the IFNI one that you
5:23
Speaker 1: probably weren't expecting to have right now. Is unique and
5:25
Speaker 1: goth Way Doug wrong would be lying if he wasn't
5:29
Speaker 1: a teeny bit concerned about this. I mean, that would
5:31
Speaker 1: be that's that's not it would be ridiculous, you know,
5:37
Speaker 1: be a lack of awareness. Um. So I think that, Um, yes,
5:41
Speaker 1: you know, it was a concern. I think that, Um,
5:44
Speaker 1: you know, we're fortunate. I feel fortunate. I think, you know,
5:47
Speaker 1: even even some of the players that we picked up
5:49
Speaker 1: late have really looked good, you know, out there. I think, um,
5:54
Speaker 1: you know, and again we're not we're not doing anything
5:56
Speaker 1: you know, football wives, you know, win my pads on.
5:59
Speaker 1: But you know where um, you know the guys we
6:03
Speaker 1: brought in, and the guys were bringing in I you know,
6:05
Speaker 1: obviously call uh Carl Davis is a guy that we
6:09
Speaker 1: you know, we have experience with and we're bringing him, Um,
6:12
Speaker 1: you know, guys that we feel you don't have a
6:14
Speaker 1: chance already. And those are are big things. Lots of storylines,
6:21
Speaker 1: lots going on now that the players are finally back
6:23
Speaker 1: on the field, and guys I know we were all
6:25
Speaker 1: excited to finally be watching football in person. But Brian
6:29
Speaker 1: leading practice yesterday, I was thinking, Okay, what did I
6:31
Speaker 1: learn today? I was like, all right, lavisco Chanal, he's
6:34
Speaker 1: much bigger than I thought. Davon Hamilton's big guy. Definitely
6:37
Speaker 1: seems like he's gonna have an impact Other than that,
6:40
Speaker 1: and we mentioned Gardner Minshew's immediate impact. It's hard to
6:43
Speaker 1: really learn something or tell anything right now without the
6:46
Speaker 1: pads on right, Brian right, and those go on next week,
6:51
Speaker 1: so we'll start to learn more. Let me address the
6:54
Speaker 1: depth issue. Today is the third of August and the
7:00
Speaker 1: regular season opens on the of September. With a month,
7:05
Speaker 1: we're gonna see guys go through different stages of where
7:08
Speaker 1: they're healthy, where they're strong, where they're here, where they're not.
7:12
Speaker 1: We got a month, so I'm not worried about depth
7:14
Speaker 1: at this point. Maybe quality depth, right, we're talking about
7:17
Speaker 1: the quality of your starters, But in terms of depth,
7:21
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an issue. A month out and
7:22
Speaker 1: there's no preseason games, so it's not like we're going
7:25
Speaker 1: to see the normal attrition of in August. That is
7:28
Speaker 1: something we've become used to over you know John twenty
7:30
Speaker 1: six years. Yeah, I don't forget. This is still O
7:36
Speaker 1: t A week, So just think about how tedious and
7:41
Speaker 1: by the end of O t A s we're all
7:43
Speaker 1: thinking how much are they really getting out of this?
7:46
Speaker 1: Because there's no pads on this week is o t
7:49
Speaker 1: A next week is a man training camp started. So
7:52
Speaker 1: I didn't expect to see that much yesterday when we
7:54
Speaker 1: were out there. One thing I did notice, the one
7:56
Speaker 1: thing I think we'll all be watching Josh Oliver. They've
7:59
Speaker 1: all talked about the second year tight end. They've all
8:02
Speaker 1: talked meaning Dave calledwell, Doug Marrone, all of his coaches
8:05
Speaker 1: about the potential of this guy. He looks like a
8:08
Speaker 1: guy to me that has that future star quality. Got
8:12
Speaker 1: to stay on the field. But beyond that, again, I
8:15
Speaker 1: don't think we all noticed that much until Monday. Well,
8:19
Speaker 1: let me stay on the tight end there, because one
8:22
Speaker 1: thing that's noticeable is just how they've improved that position.
8:26
Speaker 1: You see Josh Oliver, who looks bigger and stronger, as
8:29
Speaker 1: Doug Marrone said the other day he would, And then
8:32
Speaker 1: you see Tyler Eiffort out there, who is a big,
8:35
Speaker 1: good looking athlete. Something they haven't had at the position
8:37
Speaker 1: here since Martades Lewis Um and look at Tyler Davis
8:42
Speaker 1: who's out there, and Charles Johnson. They've got a lot
8:45
Speaker 1: of different guys at the tight end position that they
8:48
Speaker 1: can use. Last year they've got almost no production. That's
8:52
Speaker 1: not likely to be the case this year. Yeah, I'm
8:57
Speaker 1: very nice to finally put almost a face to a
8:59
Speaker 1: name when see all those new free agents and draft
9:02
Speaker 1: picks on the field. So definitely accomplishing that this week
9:04
Speaker 1: before the pads go on for the true start of
9:07
Speaker 1: training camp next week. Those are our big things. We
9:11
Speaker 1: come back all kinds of news around the league with
9:13
Speaker 1: the possible cancelation of college football, we had the top tweets.

11:24
Speaker 1: Top tweets. Alrighty, we're back to Jaguars Drive time on
11:29
Speaker 1: a Thursday morning with all kinds of news around the leader,
11:33
Speaker 1: especially now with all the news regarding college football. As
11:36
Speaker 1: we hit top tweets, NFL Networks, Tom Pelo Sero tweeting out.
11:40
Speaker 1: Since COVID has started, clubs have not been allowed to
11:43
Speaker 1: bring in free agents to work out. You really haven't
11:45
Speaker 1: gotten a chance to see any of them. Reportedly, the
11:49
Speaker 1: Jaguars are already bringing in a few defensive tackles. You
11:51
Speaker 1: saw the Cowboys signing Everson Griffin last night because of this.
11:55
Speaker 1: So guys, let's go with Brian first. How do you
11:59
Speaker 1: think this impact the Jaguars going for We mentioned that
12:02
Speaker 1: depth somewhat of an issue on defensive line. Is that
12:05
Speaker 1: solved now Because of this, well, it gives you the
12:09
Speaker 1: opportunity to bring more guys into practice. As John mentioned,
12:12
Speaker 1: training camp really starts next week. They'll go to pads
12:15
Speaker 1: and you'll want bodies. So if you've got a number
12:18
Speaker 1: of guys who are out because of various injuries or
12:21
Speaker 1: if they're on the COVID reserve list, you're gonna need
12:23
Speaker 1: the opportunity to bring guys in to replace them, just
12:25
Speaker 1: so you can go through practice. And keep in mind,
12:28
Speaker 1: with no preseason games, practice for the next month is
12:31
Speaker 1: going to be a bit of a grind for these
12:33
Speaker 1: guys because there's no game to look forward to. There's
12:35
Speaker 1: no rest day sort of so to speak, where guys
12:38
Speaker 1: are gonna play maybe a series or two and have
12:41
Speaker 1: an extra day off. So the ability to bring more
12:43
Speaker 1: players in is going to be critical. The other side
12:46
Speaker 1: of that is there are sixteen practice squad spots this year,
12:50
Speaker 1: so you want to get a good look at as
12:51
Speaker 1: many players as you can so that you can build
12:53
Speaker 1: a practice squad of sixteen players that you can count
12:56
Speaker 1: on should you have any issues. Yeah, I kind of
13:01
Speaker 1: laughed when you said that, Brian, because the no preseason
13:04
Speaker 1: games for the players is going to be a big
13:07
Speaker 1: Be careful what you wish for, because all of a sudden,
13:10
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. Without those preseason games, all of a sudden,
13:14
Speaker 1: those weeks are gonna get really, really long, and it's
13:16
Speaker 1: gonna be a month of practice. So anyway, I get
13:19
Speaker 1: why they took them away, but that's the thing. So um,
13:24
Speaker 1: I don't think that the the the fact that you
13:30
Speaker 1: can bring guys in solves the Jaguars depth problem. It's
13:33
Speaker 1: still gonna be an issue because they've lost too many tackles,
13:35
Speaker 1: but it does give them bodies. All right, Let's go
13:40
Speaker 1: to our next top tweet. Daniel Jeremiah at Moved the
13:43
Speaker 1: Sticks talking about the importance now of the scouting combine.
13:47
Speaker 1: If to say, let's say college football as a whole
13:50
Speaker 1: is nixt scouting combine could be the first chance that
13:53
Speaker 1: NFL teams get to look at these college athletes. Who
13:56
Speaker 1: knows that there will be a senior Bowl at this point, John,
13:58
Speaker 1: I know you can can attest it because you're there
14:00
Speaker 1: with me. It's always an important event, But can you
14:03
Speaker 1: imagine how amplify it will be if there is no
14:07
Speaker 1: college football? Yeah? Probably two amplified teams will still have
14:13
Speaker 1: the junior tape. Don't forget the teams have known about players,
14:17
Speaker 1: They've studied these guys. It will probably over emphasize the
14:20
Speaker 1: combine and there'll be some sorting out going forward about
14:23
Speaker 1: guys who can really play on the field or not. Yeah,
14:27
Speaker 1: but that won't stop him from making a bigger show
14:29
Speaker 1: of it. You know what this thing has become. And
14:31
Speaker 1: now with no college football, it'll be prime time from
14:34
Speaker 1: Las Vegas or Los Angeles. It will be a huge
14:38
Speaker 1: production for the NFL and it's something they do well.
14:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, lots of fireworks can't be expected, that's for sure. Right. Finally,
14:45
Speaker 1: let's go to Jeff Darlington to wrap up top tweets.
14:48
Speaker 1: A funny scenario here that possibly could kind of be
14:51
Speaker 1: a good idea. Obviously, the Rock has bought the x FL.
14:55
Speaker 1: If a canceled college football season, this could create the
14:58
Speaker 1: biggest vacuum for an NFL Farm League team we have
15:02
Speaker 1: ever seen. You create a six to eight game season,
15:05
Speaker 1: you have scouts come watch, a chance to come watch
15:07
Speaker 1: college football players. I read it at first, I was like, man,
15:11
Speaker 1: that's dramatic, But the more I think about it, not
15:14
Speaker 1: a half bad idea guys finding a spot in the
15:18
Speaker 1: market set. I mean, there's going to be an absence
15:20
Speaker 1: of college football on Saturdays, and so I mean why not.
15:23
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing that's going to prevent them, the XFL
15:27
Speaker 1: people from putting something on TV. Nothing. They'll find somebody,
15:31
Speaker 1: some cable channel that will put it there. Um, it
15:34
Speaker 1: would be a big lift right now, But why not try?
15:39
Speaker 1: I think with all sports they're talking about college football
15:42
Speaker 1: in the spring. With all sports, you're gonna have to
15:45
Speaker 1: for a year or so get used to. Wow that's
15:49
Speaker 1: on now, Wow, that's going on. I think that's what
15:51
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, absolutely, live sports right now is a
15:56
Speaker 1: good thing. The more the merrier. When we come back
15:58
Speaker 1: on Jaguards Drive Time, we hit the os own mail bag. Next,

18:23
Speaker 1: we are hitting the ozone mail bag going all the
18:26
Speaker 1: way to New Jersey for this first one from Daniel.
18:29
Speaker 1: It made me laugh because we used to call someone
18:31
Speaker 1: else the same. Oh man, he who shall not be
18:35
Speaker 1: named has recently changed agents. Do you think that's a
18:38
Speaker 1: positive sign on the chances he will return, not going
18:41
Speaker 1: to the not going to lie. The idea of returning
18:44
Speaker 1: is exciting for me. Yeah. You know, there's so many
18:48
Speaker 1: people that were not naming that it's and I'm sure
18:51
Speaker 1: he's talking about on a serious nart's obviously any can
18:55
Speaker 1: got way. I don't really have a feel for how
18:59
Speaker 1: much the saw help changing his representation because we don't
19:05
Speaker 1: know why he's doing is is he frustrated he's not
19:08
Speaker 1: getting more money? Obviously that's part of it, you know,
19:12
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's blaming. I don't know his
19:13
Speaker 1: mindset because we haven't talked to Unique. I guess my
19:16
Speaker 1: only thought is the dynamic has been so stale between
19:21
Speaker 1: the team and Unique, meaning nothing has happened, that any
19:25
Speaker 1: movement somewhere, any change in the equation can't be a
19:29
Speaker 1: bad sign for him possibly coming back. But I wouldn't
19:32
Speaker 1: necessarily be doing Cargo's I'm a Jacks fan saying, hey,
19:34
Speaker 1: this guarantees it. Brian, Well, no, we're just guessing. I mean,
19:40
Speaker 1: does he think that the agent that he had, Risum,
19:44
Speaker 1: didn't do a good enough job in terms of getting
19:46
Speaker 1: him a deal before this, or maybe he should have
19:50
Speaker 1: accepted the last deal and some should have told him that.
19:53
Speaker 1: We're just guessing. It's all theoretical at this point. The
19:56
Speaker 1: only thing I will say is that it would seem
19:59
Speaker 1: that he's trying to get something done because you look
20:02
Speaker 1: at Jadavian Clowney, who's still sitting out there. He probably
20:05
Speaker 1: doesn't want to come in and play on the franchise tag.
20:08
Speaker 1: He wants the guaranteed money and so yes, this would
20:18
Speaker 1: be unique and Gockway's third NFL agent, and I thought
20:20
Speaker 1: it was interesting. Dave Kable mentioned this press conference, saying,
20:24
Speaker 1: uniqu and Gockway isn't doing anything wrong. His deal is up,
20:27
Speaker 1: he's arguing for a new deal. No hard feelings. Obviously
20:29
Speaker 1: we would like to have him here. So stay tuned
20:32
Speaker 1: to see what happens next with that one. Let's go
20:34
Speaker 1: to St. Louis to Tony. Are you sure the Jags
20:38
Speaker 1: are making defending the run a top priority. The players
20:41
Speaker 1: they have lost and the players they have replaced them
20:44
Speaker 1: with don't support that narrative. There are some good run
20:47
Speaker 1: defenders on the market, and the Jags are signing nobody's
20:51
Speaker 1: John Well Tony's astute scouting acumen. Notwithstanding uh, they have
20:59
Speaker 1: gone out and tried to replace what they lost. They're
21:03
Speaker 1: also in a situation al Wood's just opted out last week.
21:07
Speaker 1: You're trying to go out and get the best possible replacement.
21:11
Speaker 1: You're also dealing with the fact that there may be
21:13
Speaker 1: veterans out there if they haven't signed yet, they may
21:17
Speaker 1: be waiting for what they perceive as a better opportunity,
21:20
Speaker 1: meaning more of what they perceive as a contender. I
21:23
Speaker 1: think Jack was gonna be fine this year, but the
21:25
Speaker 1: perception is that this team is not very good, so
21:28
Speaker 1: that could be an obstacle as well. Uh. I'm with
21:31
Speaker 1: Brian said earlier. I don't panic about the depth of
21:34
Speaker 1: defensive tackle yet because they're so far away from the season.
21:38
Speaker 1: But I also think there's a reality of this season
21:41
Speaker 1: that this is the kind of thing at defensive tackle
21:45
Speaker 1: that all teams are going to be dealing with, trying
21:47
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get guys in with more
21:51
Speaker 1: attrition than normal. Well, and I get why people look
21:57
Speaker 1: at just the defensive tackle position and say, you've got
21:59
Speaker 1: to father there to stop the run. And it's obvious
22:02
Speaker 1: you've got to be big upfront. They signed big guys.
22:05
Speaker 1: You know, they drafted Von Hamilton's. They'll get Rodney Gunter
22:07
Speaker 1: back at some point. Um. You know, the linebacker Joe
22:10
Speaker 1: Schobert that they brought in from Cleveland is a key
22:12
Speaker 1: part of what they expect to do in terms of
22:15
Speaker 1: their run defense. Don't look at it as nobody, look
22:18
Speaker 1: at it as big guys who can run. Look at
22:21
Speaker 1: what they do, not what the name on the back
22:24
Speaker 1: of their jersey. Says, people fall in love with why
22:27
Speaker 1: aren't you signing this big name player. They're signing players
22:30
Speaker 1: that they think can fit their system m not to
22:34
Speaker 1: mention can fit their salary cap as well. Still lots
22:37
Speaker 1: of time to figure all of that out. A month
22:39
Speaker 1: away from the regular season, as we come back on
