- 0:23Speaker 1: That's what I've heard, weather like schools are letting out early.

- 0:29Speaker 1: why it's funny, said, because my wife was like, big

- 0:36Speaker 1: she was a storm like because there a hurricane coming

- 0:41Speaker 1: wind like what? And then in pont Vedran they canceled.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I'm canceled and I left my house driving here and
- 0:50Speaker 1: it was like bawling, like eighteen miles an hour, and
- 0:53Speaker 1: I was like, breezy day, what are we doing? It's
- 0:58Speaker 1: your weird one. Here's what's cup it up on the
- 1:00Speaker 1: program today. Two games in London. That's the news this week.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Cohn and Lamping will hear from the Jaguars owner and
- 1:07Speaker 1: the Jaguars president. Front office. Edition will talk a little
- 1:11Speaker 1: ball coming up, quarterback talk as well, and we'll go
- 1:14Speaker 1: around the National Football League. Let's start off with the
- 1:17Speaker 1: big news of the week, the Jaguars taking two home
- 1:19Speaker 1: games to London and consecutive weeks. The weeks and the
- 1:22Speaker 1: opponents will be named later, but the bears of the
- 1:25Speaker 1: Steelers games are protected in Jacksonville, Ashland. Sullivan this week
- 1:30Speaker 1: asked owner shot Con why the move When I was
- 1:34Speaker 1: announced as the owner eight years ago, I think I
- 1:39Speaker 1: said that really my goal was to keep Jaguars in Jacksonville,
- 1:44Speaker 1: and we will have to think unconventionally pretty much, what
- 1:49Speaker 1: do we have to do to win on the field.
- 1:51Speaker 1: That's paramount to us, But then we have to win
- 1:54Speaker 1: off the field, which is UH to be able to
- 1:58Speaker 1: generate the revenue to invest in the team, UH to
- 2:03Speaker 1: help but win and play a role uh in really
- 2:06Speaker 1: growth vitality of Jacksonville. This was right at the announcement
- 2:10Speaker 1: when they announced this national Sullivan the full interview available
- 2:13Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com did a fantastic job. Was very
- 2:16Speaker 1: well done. It really was, and so check out the
- 2:18Speaker 1: full conversation there. A little later in the day, the
- 2:22Speaker 1: shot Con and Mark Lamping had a conference call with
- 2:25Speaker 1: local media before the announcement. This is actually before the
- 2:28Speaker 1: announcement came out and Jaguars president Mark Lamping explained why
- 2:32Speaker 1: now is the right time to add a second game,
- 2:34Speaker 1: competing with other teams who have radically changed their revenue
- 2:38Speaker 1: expectations each year, like the Jaguars, we are entering a
- 2:42Speaker 1: uncertain time. That uncertain time is related to three teams
- 2:48Speaker 1: that in the past were teams that were with us
- 2:50Speaker 1: in the bottom of the league in terms of revenue.
- 2:53Speaker 1: They have taken step steps that that that we would
- 2:55Speaker 1: not consider. But they've taken steps to fix their revenue
- 2:59Speaker 1: by leaving Oakland, by leaving St. Louis, and by leaving
- 3:03Speaker 1: San Diego that had has that has had an impact
- 3:06Speaker 1: in terms of all the other teams that are at
- 3:09Speaker 1: you know where we are in terms of the league
- 3:11Speaker 1: and in terms of of now um we know that
- 3:15Speaker 1: LA in conjunction with all the things that Shot has
- 3:18Speaker 1: already invested in, those will continue to pay pay a
- 3:22Speaker 1: dividends for us. But we can't snap our fingers and
- 3:25Speaker 1: get Latch open tomorrow. So as we're waiting to go
- 3:28Speaker 1: from where we are now, which is Latch just a
- 3:30Speaker 1: vision to it actually being being open, we need to
- 3:34Speaker 1: be looking for those opportunities to supplement our revenue situation,
- 3:39Speaker 1: and we believe that London fits that bill. Uh. Not
- 3:42Speaker 1: only is it the right time to do it, but
- 3:44Speaker 1: it's the right action. That's Mark Lamping on a conference
- 3:47Speaker 1: call with local media just before the announcement the other day.
- 3:51Speaker 1: So fellas there we go to home games at Wimbley. Yeah,
- 3:54Speaker 1: I mean I think in listen the fans, I mean
- 3:58Speaker 1: we've seen all the comments and everyone's talked about. You've
- 4:00Speaker 1: heard if you listen to the radio shows and everything
- 4:03Speaker 1: else about fans are upset. And one of the things,
- 4:06Speaker 1: just as we have this conversation, I think it's really
- 4:09Speaker 1: important to kind of level set and separate the two
- 4:13Speaker 1: two things, two aspects of this organization. One is on
- 4:17Speaker 1: the field performance, two is business and UH stability of
- 4:23Speaker 1: this franchise and for not just the immediate but the
- 4:26Speaker 1: long term UH plan to be here in Jacksonville. And
- 4:31Speaker 1: you have to separate those two. And I think sometimes
- 4:34Speaker 1: in the anger and the passion, the poor performance on
- 4:39Speaker 1: the field spills over to some of the decisions that
- 4:41Speaker 1: are made on the business side. And by the way,
- 4:45Speaker 1: like Jeff would agree, jpu'd degree, like every one of
- 4:48Speaker 1: this building would agree, it's okay to be upset about
- 4:52Speaker 1: the onfield performance, like there's nothing like you should as
- 4:56Speaker 1: a fan. That's what's great about our fans. It's what's
- 4:58Speaker 1: great about fans and NFL. You're passionate, you are mad,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you're p ode that this team is not winning enough games.
- 5:06Speaker 1: That you know, seven of the last eight years double
- 5:09Speaker 1: digit losses, all the stats we've talked about at the
- 5:11Speaker 1: close of the season, and that is good, healthy anger.
- 5:16Speaker 1: But you but I don't think it's right to have
- 5:20Speaker 1: that anger and emotion be spilled over into a decision
- 5:24Speaker 1: to go play two games in London, which if you're
- 5:28Speaker 1: a season ticket holder and you come to all eight
- 5:30Speaker 1: games or all seven games this past year, I get
- 5:33Speaker 1: your you have one less game that you can go to.
- 5:35Speaker 1: You're frustrated, that's fine, that's natural, but that it's only
- 5:39Speaker 1: for the short term. This is a decision that is
- 5:42Speaker 1: for next year. There's not even an agreement long term
- 5:45Speaker 1: at this point to do anything else. And if you
- 5:49Speaker 1: look at the business side of it, all that shod Khan,
- 5:52Speaker 1: under Mark's leadership, of his direction that they have done
- 5:56Speaker 1: since they've uh shot bought his team, everything is to
- 6:02Speaker 1: enhance the fan experience. Everything is to enhance what is
- 6:06Speaker 1: going on in the stadium around the stadium in downtown
- 6:09Speaker 1: started with the scoreboards, renovation of the club building of
- 6:15Speaker 1: Daily's Place, which I don't know about everyone listening. I love,
- 6:18Speaker 1: I go, I go to a bunch of shows, I mean,
- 6:21Speaker 1: and I live at the beach, so I come downtown,
- 6:24Speaker 1: I come here, I go to things around the state,
- 6:28Speaker 1: and I go to the Daily's Place. You have a
- 6:30Speaker 1: lot j that isn't hopefully on the cusp of happening,
- 6:34Speaker 1: which is gonna be bring more people and more excitement.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I mean, you have all these different things, hopefully shipyards
- 6:40Speaker 1: one day down the road. I mean, so you have
- 6:41Speaker 1: all these amazing things happening on the business side in
- 6:45Speaker 1: London is part of that strategy where we sit right now.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Mark said it perfectly. The teams that had lower revenue
- 6:51Speaker 1: than we did, that had revenue issues, they all their owners,
- 6:55Speaker 1: who by the way, were deeply rooted in San Diego,
- 6:59Speaker 1: dly rooted in St. Louis, and deeply rooted in Oakland.
- 7:03Speaker 1: They looked at their fans and said, see you, I'm
- 7:07Speaker 1: going for the better deal to create more revenue and
- 7:10Speaker 1: more value. We have an owner that's saying, no, we're
- 7:14Speaker 1: not going to do that. We're gonna make it work here. Now.
- 7:17Speaker 1: We gotta get creative and we gotta do some different
- 7:19Speaker 1: things to do it, and it will evolve over time.
- 7:24Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm gonna invest my own money
- 7:26Speaker 1: into projects around the stadium to make this a better
- 7:29Speaker 1: overall experience. And right now that means going to play
- 7:33Speaker 1: one extra game in London, So two games in London,
- 7:36Speaker 1: and I get for those any season ticket holder who
- 7:38Speaker 1: came to seven games this past year, you have to
- 7:42Speaker 1: be upset if you only came to six games last year,
- 7:45Speaker 1: nothing changes for me. I'm glad you're not counting preseason games.
- 7:48Speaker 1: I'm just saying regular season games just you and you
- 7:51Speaker 1: can't count you guys. You and I both agree on
- 7:53Speaker 1: prisons games. But if you came to seven regular season
- 7:56Speaker 1: games last year, okay, I get you're frustrated and you
- 7:59Speaker 1: you're your upset you if you only came to six
- 8:01Speaker 1: last year, I'd love to know how many season take
- 8:04Speaker 1: holders actually go to all seven games. I'm just I'm
- 8:07Speaker 1: sure there's a big number. Loud. Well, that's fine, basal
- 8:12Speaker 1: right now, that's fine. But if it's you only came
- 8:14Speaker 1: to six, there's no change nothing changed. It's just been
- 8:18Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of a dog pile effect.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I think there's been uh good reason for fans to
- 8:24Speaker 1: be upset because the season didn't go very well. It's
- 8:26Speaker 1: two years in a row. And then you had what
- 8:30Speaker 1: was perceived by many was the the the inaction or
- 8:35Speaker 1: the inactive response from ownership because of two consecutive losing seasons.
- 8:40Speaker 1: So you had a bad season, no change or not
- 8:44Speaker 1: sufficient enough change to satisfy certain fans of the football
- 8:48Speaker 1: leadership leadership. And then now you have of your home
- 8:52Speaker 1: games going abroad. I get it. I'm not get I mean,
- 8:56Speaker 1: look but if you but I totally get it. But
- 8:59Speaker 1: but you still have a fan base that's just upset
- 9:03Speaker 1: about that. And look and and rightfully so, I mean,
- 9:05Speaker 1: look at if this is your team, you want to
- 9:09Speaker 1: see it. I mean, this is your team. You don't
- 9:11Speaker 1: want them to do you want to watch it in person.
- 9:13Speaker 1: I mean for the die hard people, the people they
- 9:15Speaker 1: are fans that this is their team, this is their city,
- 9:18Speaker 1: this is the identity of this city. For it to
- 9:21Speaker 1: be uh shipped overseas so to think, and that's what
- 9:24Speaker 1: a lot of people term it. They have a hard
- 9:26Speaker 1: time stomaching that. And I think also to some extent,
- 9:30Speaker 1: and I understand that this is temporary, but a lot
- 9:32Speaker 1: of people they don't believe that it's temporary. They think that, Okay,
- 9:36Speaker 1: this is just the first step. Maybe there's more on
- 9:38Speaker 1: the other side. Nobody knows, And certainly many people don't
- 9:41Speaker 1: think that it's gonna go back to being one or
- 9:43Speaker 1: eventually none because they just don't want to believe it.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And so I think a lot of times it's just
- 9:49Speaker 1: got to kind of sink in and then sometimes and
- 9:52Speaker 1: sometimes in any emotions still attached to it. And I
- 9:55Speaker 1: understand that, I guess hardly understand the emotion of it.
- 9:58Speaker 1: But there's also a lot of reason, which Tony has
- 10:01Speaker 1: been talking about there, and that there are some unique
- 10:06Speaker 1: challenges in Jacksonville. That's fact. If if you want an
- 10:11Speaker 1: owner that wants to be competitive from a financial standpoint,
- 10:14Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that. Look, it's a business.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Tony operated a business. Do you think Tony's gonna operate
- 10:20Speaker 1: the business that less than capacity or less than an
- 10:23Speaker 1: optimum level, or JP or me or anybody else, any
- 10:27Speaker 1: business owner. That's what this is. It's a business decision.
- 10:31Speaker 1: And look, I get that. I get that side of it.
- 10:34Speaker 1: But I also understand that when it comes to passion,
- 10:39Speaker 1: people don't want to have business decisions affect their passion
- 10:43Speaker 1: because it just doesn't feel good. And I totally get that.
- 10:47Speaker 1: But the backdropt of this is that the it is
- 10:49Speaker 1: a business decision, but in the grand scheme of things,
- 10:52Speaker 1: it's a business of Jacksonville decision. That's my point. So
- 10:55Speaker 1: here to keep it here. That's why. That's but here's
- 10:57Speaker 1: the thing, and just real quick on that. That's that's
- 11:01Speaker 1: what you're What you're saying is down the road, and
- 11:05Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard for people to have the glasses that
- 11:09Speaker 1: show them the future or what things look like three
- 11:11Speaker 1: years down the road, four years down road, or five
- 11:13Speaker 1: years down the road. But I can tell you this,
- 11:15Speaker 1: when I came here, in one of the first things
- 11:18Speaker 1: I used to do because I would I live in Mandarin.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Still do same place, same drive for the most part.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Every day, Come up San Jose Boulevard, across the Main
- 11:26Speaker 1: Street bridge, take a ride on Bay Street, down past
- 11:28Speaker 1: Maxwell Health cos see coffee planting to the stadium. Been
- 11:32Speaker 1: making that drive since nine? Is that drive changed one
- 11:37Speaker 1: bit since nine? No? No, it hasn't. Changed at all.
- 11:44Speaker 1: How many times have you heard about though forever? The
- 11:47Speaker 1: only thing that I've seen change. It's okay, there's a
- 11:49Speaker 1: there's a high rise complex there. It's a condominium, and
- 11:53Speaker 1: then we have one right next to it. It's a
- 11:54Speaker 1: skeleton crew that's left vacant. That's probably gonna cost the
- 11:57Speaker 1: city more to tear it down. And I remember me
- 12:00Speaker 1: Mangi talking about, hey, look man, we somebody should invest
- 12:02Speaker 1: in this river from property. My gosh, this would be great,
- 12:05Speaker 1: be awesome. Well, the vision I think that that shot
- 12:09Speaker 1: Khan has, which look, I don't even know if I
- 12:12Speaker 1: even own a set of glasses that can look that
- 12:13Speaker 1: far down the road, because I mean, he's his I thought,
- 12:17Speaker 1: it's lot Jay's the river front, it's a vibrant downtown.
- 12:21Speaker 1: And look at the reality is, folks, And here's an opportunity.
- 12:23Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to say and be a pauper
- 12:27Speaker 1: for him or trying to be his publicist, but I'm
- 12:30Speaker 1: just telling you what Sin made that driving area and
- 12:32Speaker 1: a damn thing different about it. And I'm all for
- 12:35Speaker 1: about seeing something different. I'm all for seeing about cranes
- 12:38Speaker 1: in our downtown. When we go to Nashville, crane that
- 12:43Speaker 1: are developing downtown in Nashville. Okay, the cranes that are
- 12:47Speaker 1: around Wimbley. Yes, how many cranes have we got? What
- 12:51Speaker 1: what's our downtown doing. I haven't seen a crane lately,
- 12:54Speaker 1: not a damn thing. And also, id me personally, I'd
- 13:00Speaker 1: like to see some change. I'd like to see it
- 13:02Speaker 1: get better. So, Jeff, I think what you just said
- 13:04Speaker 1: is exactly what I think the conversation should be. Be
- 13:09Speaker 1: mad about the performance of the football team. None of
- 13:14Speaker 1: us like it, And I get you know what, I
- 13:16Speaker 1: think it's fair questions fans asked is like why were
- 13:18Speaker 1: there no changes? Were not more of changes made? Those
- 13:21Speaker 1: are all fair questions and that and you know what,
- 13:24Speaker 1: you can be mad and you can question it, and
- 13:27Speaker 1: all those things are fair. What I don't think, and
- 13:30Speaker 1: you can be emotionally upset because it's one more game
- 13:33Speaker 1: that you're not gonna be able to see here for
- 13:35Speaker 1: those of you that come to the games. So yeah,
- 13:38Speaker 1: it's one less opportunity. I get that. But at the
- 13:41Speaker 1: same time, we have a owner and I cannot stress
- 13:45Speaker 1: this enough that is putting his money where his mouth
- 13:48Speaker 1: is in the sense of Daily's places here, not here.
- 13:53Speaker 1: When he first got here, we had an old stadium,
- 13:55Speaker 1: the old scoreboards. His his money went into those scoreboards.
- 13:59Speaker 1: His money went into the the a lot of renovation
- 14:03Speaker 1: of the stadium, a facility he does not own. He
- 14:07Speaker 1: got that question money into Tell me the last time, Jeff,
- 14:12Speaker 1: We've been here since ninety five. That someone who says
- 14:14Speaker 1: I'll put up a quarter of a billion dollars or
- 14:16Speaker 1: whatever the number is to develop a massive project downtown,
- 14:22Speaker 1: we'll just already alone. I think it's it's overdone in
- 14:25Speaker 1: the stadium. And I got this question last night because
- 14:27Speaker 1: I was on with uh Todd Haley and Zig I
- 14:33Speaker 1: think this guy is his co host May Yeah, yeah,
- 14:39Speaker 1: I'm serious x M NFL Radio last night and uh
- 14:43Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, the rumors are talking about
- 14:45Speaker 1: the team eventually moving to London, which you know that
- 14:46Speaker 1: that pops up. I mean it's look for the people
- 14:48Speaker 1: that don't know, I mean that that's part of the conversation.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Like again, let me say that again. For the people
- 14:53Speaker 1: that don't know, that's part of the conversation. And so
- 14:56Speaker 1: my response to that was because they weren't saying that
- 14:58Speaker 1: it was, but they said, what about the people that
- 15:00Speaker 1: have those questions, and I said, Okay, I said that
- 15:03Speaker 1: talk me and you work Tony j P all of us.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Are we going to spend a hundred million and and
- 15:11Speaker 1: making plans on spending another billion, quarter billion to half
- 15:16Speaker 1: a billion or whatever it's gonna call to to do
- 15:18Speaker 1: this development downtown. Oh and by the way, we're just
- 15:21Speaker 1: gonna take the team. We're gonna move tone, which is
- 15:23Speaker 1: the asset we're building around, Right, that's the Hello. Well
- 15:29Speaker 1: that's so that's where I get. And like I've had
- 15:31Speaker 1: people on Twitter I question my love for Jacksonville and
- 15:34Speaker 1: all this stuff and like whatever, they can do whatever
- 15:36Speaker 1: they want. I'm actually four sean and what he's doing
- 15:40Speaker 1: on the like I questions on the football side too.
- 15:42Speaker 1: By the way, right we all do I've said, done
- 15:47Speaker 1: a pretty good job. And so but where I'm like
- 15:51Speaker 1: a lock in step with what he's doing and I'm
- 15:54Speaker 1: a big supporter of his vision because it makes the
- 15:57Speaker 1: city I love better. I've heard about downtown for twenty
- 16:01Speaker 1: five years, nothing has happened. This is like the first opportunity,
- 16:04Speaker 1: like someone's actually like really ready to rock the field.
- 16:09Speaker 1: And like he's like and so like do I like
- 16:13Speaker 1: would I rather all eight games being in uh jackson
- 16:16Speaker 1: Sure be great Sunday morning. It's not home games are fun. Home,
- 16:21Speaker 1: it's relaxing. But also, if this is what it made
- 16:27Speaker 1: one time, that it gets let out of you. But
- 16:29Speaker 1: if this is part of the overall strategy to make
- 16:33Speaker 1: this the permanent home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. And by
- 16:37Speaker 1: the way, have an owner who's investing and wants to
- 16:41Speaker 1: win off the field and make this city better, there's
- 16:47Speaker 1: nothing wrong with wanting to off the field. Like I
- 16:50Speaker 1: hear people all the time, nothing wrong with that. Friends,
- 16:52Speaker 1: greedy and all. If you want to question whether or
- 16:56Speaker 1: not some of his moves have been the best to
- 16:59Speaker 1: make when on the field happen, that's always open for debate.
- 17:03Speaker 1: That's always fair. Yeah, And I've got phone calls and messages,
- 17:07Speaker 1: Oh he's greedy, you know, doesn't have enough money and
- 17:09Speaker 1: all this stuff. And I said, wait a second, that's
- 17:11Speaker 1: not fair. Number one, he's invested his money and he
- 17:15Speaker 1: owns a business. If I was the owner of the Jaguars,
- 17:19Speaker 1: I would be trying to maximize the revenue and the
- 17:22Speaker 1: opportunity to make this great. I wouldn't want to wake
- 17:25Speaker 1: up if I was the owner of this franchise. And
- 17:28Speaker 1: see that was thirty second and revenue. I'm competing with
- 17:33Speaker 1: the Bengals to get out and the Bills to get
- 17:35Speaker 1: out of the seller. That's not really what I would want. Like,
- 17:40Speaker 1: I want to say, how do I become? How do
- 17:42Speaker 1: I start chasing down the top? And that's what I
- 17:45Speaker 1: haven't I was doing. And if it takes going to
- 17:47Speaker 1: this game year Togo, to two games to London, we'll see.
- 17:49Speaker 1: What's the future is. We don't know yet, but you
- 17:52Speaker 1: know what, then that's the plan. He's put it, he's
- 17:55Speaker 1: invested his money. Then that's what we're gonna do. Hey,
- 17:58Speaker 1: let's come back and discuss little football. How about that?

- 21:38Speaker 1: of change normally doesn't produce the results you want. And
- 21:45Speaker 1: I think there are plenty of examples. You're a journalist,
- 21:48Speaker 1: I think look around the league. There are plenty of
- 21:50Speaker 1: teams that you know, change coaches every year every other year.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Has is that a winning formula? I think so there
- 21:59Speaker 1: is a huge amount emotion. I mean I love, uh
- 22:02Speaker 1: the idea of emotion. The fans care, Uh, they care
- 22:06Speaker 1: because they want to have uh, you know, winning a
- 22:09Speaker 1: football team. But when it's all said and on, you
- 22:12Speaker 1: look at it with a rational mind. Uh, you know,
- 22:15Speaker 1: the direction we're headed. I think gives us the best chance.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Jaguar's owner shot Con. The full interview available on Jaguars
- 22:22Speaker 1: dot com. Ashland Sullivan had the visit. It was released
- 22:26Speaker 1: on the date of the announcement of the London added
- 22:30Speaker 1: game this year, and then they talked a little football
- 22:32Speaker 1: as well. So first comments, I think we've had publicly
- 22:35Speaker 1: from shot Con about Dave Caldwell and Doug maroone coming
- 22:39Speaker 1: back this year, but that was some of the rationale
- 22:42Speaker 1: behind it moving ahead. So I mean, look, and I
- 22:47Speaker 1: know this is actually this is the more. This is
- 22:50Speaker 1: tougher than talking about this game to London my opinion.
- 22:53Speaker 1: I do know that there are there are some media
- 22:57Speaker 1: members that would like to be able to have you know,
- 23:00Speaker 1: a Q and a session with shot I mean, because
- 23:03Speaker 1: I mean they want to they want to delve deeper,
- 23:07Speaker 1: they want more. But I mean, Sean's gonna give you
- 23:09Speaker 1: the answer no matter how many times you ask, or
- 23:11Speaker 1: how many different ways, that's exactly what he believes. And
- 23:16Speaker 1: and so no matter how many different styles or ways
- 23:19Speaker 1: that you try to present it to him, that's that's
- 23:22Speaker 1: his belief. And and there's nothing wrong with that belief
- 23:26Speaker 1: because everybody has an opinion, and do I agree with
- 23:32Speaker 1: everything that he said about you know, what should have
- 23:34Speaker 1: happened going for No, I don't. But that's the beauty
- 23:37Speaker 1: of football. And that's the beauty, beauty about having a
- 23:41Speaker 1: passion for your football team, because if you don't have
- 23:44Speaker 1: a belief, that means you don't have a passion, you
- 23:46Speaker 1: don't care about it, you know. And I think all
- 23:48Speaker 1: fans are no different than us that they have an opinion.
- 23:51Speaker 1: And that's why there has been a very strong vocal
- 23:57Speaker 1: opposition to the lack of change that happened at the
- 23:59Speaker 1: end of C Sason. And that's and that look, I
- 24:01Speaker 1: don't know how what percentage that is, because typically the
- 24:05Speaker 1: minority is more vocal than the majority, but it seems
- 24:10Speaker 1: like at times that this is the majority speaking at times.
- 24:13Speaker 1: But I don't know that. I mean, we're not I
- 24:15Speaker 1: don't have a poll or I don't have the ability
- 24:17Speaker 1: to pull um. But it look here here's the reality
- 24:22Speaker 1: when he needs to happen now this year. And that's
- 24:26Speaker 1: the impression that I get from listening to Shan Khan
- 24:30Speaker 1: is that this organization, Hey, Doug moro own and Dave calledwell,
- 24:35Speaker 1: they need to win this year playoff team, and as
- 24:38Speaker 1: Sean said, the record will tell you whether or not
- 24:41Speaker 1: that this was the right decision or that his decision
- 24:45Speaker 1: was the right one. That's the beauty of the NFL.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Now you get a grade at the end of the year,
- 24:51Speaker 1: and that's your record. Well, the grade has been bad
- 24:53Speaker 1: around here a lot. It has a lot of f's
- 24:57Speaker 1: F D minus. Um. I agree with Jeff said, you
- 25:01Speaker 1: know the reason to kill it? Uh was I surprised
- 25:08Speaker 1: some of the decisions. Sure would I maybe have done
- 25:12Speaker 1: things differently, absolutely, but who like you know what like
- 25:18Speaker 1: that we'll find out the truth or what's right, what
- 25:22Speaker 1: opinion is correct sometimes you know, about eleven months from
- 25:27Speaker 1: now we will know. Like what Sean said is like
- 25:33Speaker 1: that's like one point of view saying I want stability.
- 25:37Speaker 1: You know, if we're gonna go with Gardner, minshew, you
- 25:41Speaker 1: believe that's what they're gonna do. Well, I don't. That's
- 25:44Speaker 1: the feeling I get. Let me ask you this. We're
- 25:46Speaker 1: gonna delve into the quarterbacks a little bit later, so
- 25:48Speaker 1: let's not go too deep here. But my point is
- 25:50Speaker 1: think but thereafter, but I don't want to, Okay, Gardner
- 25:55Speaker 1: met you any position named player if you feel and
- 26:00Speaker 1: your strategy is having stability at the head coaching position
- 26:04Speaker 1: in the GMS GM position and changing the structure which
- 26:10Speaker 1: we can get into that which is I've said on
- 26:12Speaker 1: JP you and I talked about it, and Jeff you
- 26:14Speaker 1: as well. It's shocking to me that over the last
- 26:17Speaker 1: three years they haven't been working together like somehow this
- 26:19Speaker 1: is some new revelation that the GM and coach is
- 26:21Speaker 1: supposed to be on the same page like together. But
- 26:23Speaker 1: it's a different story for a different day. Um. But
- 26:27Speaker 1: his strategy is saying like this, and I believe stability
- 26:29Speaker 1: is important right now and more turnover isn't gonna help
- 26:32Speaker 1: us win next year. Okay, I can't like. That's a
- 26:35Speaker 1: point of view that the perspective. That is one strategy.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Now I can agree or disagree with the strategy, but
- 26:41Speaker 1: it's a it's a sound strategy from a standpoint of
- 26:44Speaker 1: a lot of people would tell you that's a good
- 26:47Speaker 1: course to take, and we'll find out if it's the
- 26:49Speaker 1: right course or not. Like shot said Jeffy repeated, the
- 26:53Speaker 1: wins and losses will tell us because at the end
- 26:55Speaker 1: of the day, one thing matters and one thing only,
- 26:57Speaker 1: and that's winning. And losing. And if you have two
- 27:01Speaker 1: more els th ws, well then your strategy or the
- 27:04Speaker 1: people executing your strategy are wrong. It should take typically
- 27:09Speaker 1: it takes an organization to build, you know, to get
- 27:15Speaker 1: to get where you want to get gone takes three
- 27:17Speaker 1: years to build, right, I mean that's typically right about
- 27:22Speaker 1: that time frame. Trade argue they might have been quicker
- 27:25Speaker 1: if Grappo didn't get hurt last year Kansas City. Uh
- 27:30Speaker 1: it took him one year soon as yeah, but I
- 27:33Speaker 1: mean you got you gotta count the years that he
- 27:34Speaker 1: had Alex Smith at the home. But then they made
- 27:36Speaker 1: the bull for you. Look, well the first year, uh
- 27:42Speaker 1: Andy back up. First year Andy took over there two
- 27:44Speaker 1: and fourteen. I think that next year they were competitive
- 27:47Speaker 1: at least. So it was one year for Andy. So
- 27:50Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's competitive, but any reason, by the way,
- 27:53Speaker 1: you won the best coaches in history that's looked to
- 27:55Speaker 1: by far. I'm very happy for him. By the way, Uh,
- 27:58Speaker 1: we haven't do we even we even have anything in
- 27:59Speaker 1: there for that ser Bowl when we go around the league. Okay,
- 28:03Speaker 1: I just want to make sure important part of the league,
- 28:05Speaker 1: but something. But my point is is that you typically
- 28:07Speaker 1: to to build an organization. You're talking about three years
- 28:11Speaker 1: and when you have that three year period, you better
- 28:14Speaker 1: have a quarterback to be able to do that. All right, son,
- 28:19Speaker 1: we can you guys stop you right there because this
- 28:21Speaker 1: hit me because I did the game this weekend off
- 28:23Speaker 1: the past weekend, uh, the super Bowl. You know, the
- 28:28Speaker 1: year that the Chiefs picked. They're coming off a playoff
- 28:33Speaker 1: year with Alex Smith. They were picking in the draft.
- 28:37Speaker 1: They traded everything they needed to trade to get the
- 28:40Speaker 1: ten to take a kid from Texas Tech that they
- 28:45Speaker 1: thought could be special, even though they had a quarterback
- 28:48Speaker 1: that could lead them to the playoffs. That hit me
- 28:51Speaker 1: like a ton of bricks. Is like if you if
- 28:54Speaker 1: you are a team who identifies a quarterback in the
- 28:57Speaker 1: draft that you think is special, go get him, almost
- 29:02Speaker 1: regardless of the cost. So that because of you my question,
- 29:06Speaker 1: can we go there? Now? Let's come back. I just
- 29:08Speaker 1: want to throw the question out there and I want
- 29:09Speaker 1: to answer it. Hit us with a question, do you
- 29:12Speaker 1: stand pat with your quarterback room right now? If you're
- 29:15Speaker 1: this organization, we'll answer that when we come back. That's
- 29:18Speaker 1: what we call tas in the business. We'll hear what
- 29:20Speaker 1: Shod Khan has to say about it as well. Jaguar's owner.

- 32:52Speaker 1: that's an old adage. Uh. Frankly, this past year proved
- 32:57Speaker 1: you better have two competent quarterbacks. Okay, Uh, there were
- 33:01Speaker 1: a number of teams they didn't have a competent quarterback.
- 33:04Speaker 1: That wouldn't have made it. So, I mean, if you
- 33:07Speaker 1: look at it where we've come from, argument could could
- 33:10Speaker 1: have been made. We didn't have any competent quarterbacks. Okay,
- 33:13Speaker 1: so this is in a way an embarrassment of Riches
- 33:16Speaker 1: for us, in a good way. Um that you know,

- 33:40Speaker 1: That one's over, So we'll get an hour on Thursdays
- 33:44Speaker 1: and then on Tuesday's will be Jaguars Drive Time Tuesday mornings.
- 33:47Speaker 1: It'll go back to Tuesday's next week. It was on
- 33:49Speaker 1: Wednesday this week, so Tuesday next week, I think at
- 33:52Speaker 1: nine am is when those shows will begin. So check
- 33:56Speaker 1: those out on the Jaguars social media pages. Quarterbacks and
- 34:00Speaker 1: Aris been of riches. Two quarterbacks, and you know Nick
- 34:05Speaker 1: Foles obviously started here comes Gardner means you six and six,
- 34:08Speaker 1: everybody's on the roster. Josh jobs around there. Down the
- 34:11Speaker 1: depth chart a little bit, there's your quarterback room. Where
- 34:15Speaker 1: is this quarterback room right now? And will there'll be
- 34:18Speaker 1: where will there be changes or additions to that quarterback room?
- 34:21Speaker 1: In your opinion, Lucks, it seems like you were really
- 34:24Speaker 1: locked into this topic earlier. Well, I I don't agree
- 34:28Speaker 1: with Sean con on this. I don't think that the
- 34:30Speaker 1: quarterback position is that you've got two really good players.
- 34:36Speaker 1: I mean, right now, you have two players that are
- 34:40Speaker 1: coming off of a year that still many questions exist about.
- 34:45Speaker 1: And that if, in my opinion, if you stand pad
- 34:48Speaker 1: or if you're satisfied with two good quarterbacks, then that
- 34:50Speaker 1: means that's going to keep you from finding a great one.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Which means that I'm not saying that that's his position.
- 34:56Speaker 1: His position, maybe that he wants to find a great
- 35:00Speaker 1: and maybe he's saying that just to you know, say, hey,
- 35:03Speaker 1: these are our guys for now. We don't know if
- 35:04Speaker 1: we're going to get another one. So but I think
- 35:08Speaker 1: that that position, the search has to still continue because
- 35:13Speaker 1: if the search ends, then you miss maybe another opportunity
- 35:18Speaker 1: at finding what will be the next Patrick Mahomes or
- 35:23Speaker 1: and you had that opportunity lost already. Could it be
- 35:27Speaker 1: the next Deshaun Watson or Tom Brady whatever it is.
- 35:31Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to criticize Gardner minshow because I
- 35:34Speaker 1: think he had a phenomenal season for any type of
- 35:37Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. But does that mean that that because he
- 35:41Speaker 1: had a good rookie season, which, by the way, how
- 35:45Speaker 1: many wins did did he get? Arback? Okay, six wins
- 35:50Speaker 1: is and I know he didn't start all the games,
- 35:53Speaker 1: but six wins is not what you're after. You're after
- 35:56Speaker 1: double digit wins. And I'm not saying that. I'm not
- 35:58Speaker 1: trying trying to like know of people us rookie give
- 36:01Speaker 1: him a break. I get that. I get that. I'm
- 36:03Speaker 1: just saying that, un tell you know that you have
- 36:06Speaker 1: a guy at that position. The search doesn't end, and
- 36:10Speaker 1: it cannot end. There's a lot of things to like
- 36:14Speaker 1: about him. His are you satisfied? So I will describe
- 36:20Speaker 1: it this way. We have one quarterback that I'm not
- 36:26Speaker 1: sure about that had a nice rookie season and has
- 36:29Speaker 1: some things I like and some things I really question,
- 36:31Speaker 1: and I don't know if he's the guy I don't know,
- 36:35Speaker 1: maybe maybe not. They could grow into it, maybe maybe not.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Or um did I leave this season saying he is
- 36:46Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback? I did not, Okay, So that's one
- 36:51Speaker 1: of the guys in that room. The other guy. What
- 36:54Speaker 1: I know about him and Nick Foles is that in
- 36:58Speaker 1: his career he's never played six team games. He has
- 37:02Speaker 1: two magnificent runs with small sample sizes at the back
- 37:07Speaker 1: half of of seasons in playoff runs, one that led
- 37:11Speaker 1: to a super Bowl championship. He was outstanding. Outside of that,
- 37:16Speaker 1: he has been very inconsistent up and down, and he
- 37:21Speaker 1: did not play well last year, was injured again, so
- 37:23Speaker 1: continued not to be able to play sixteen games. So
- 37:26Speaker 1: I have a lot of questions there as well. Do
- 37:28Speaker 1: I think Nick Foles is a quote unquote franchise quarterbacks
- 37:32Speaker 1: that can take me to the Super Bowl? Well, he's
- 37:36Speaker 1: done it in the backup role, but over a sixteen
- 37:39Speaker 1: year of course of the season, he has not. So
- 37:41Speaker 1: I got a lot of questions there too. Not saying
- 37:43Speaker 1: you can't, but I don't know. And so that tells
- 37:46Speaker 1: me I have a quarterback room that I'm unsure about,
- 37:50Speaker 1: and it is the most important position in this game,
- 37:53Speaker 1: and you have to have it right there. I'm not
- 37:56Speaker 1: saying you have to have Patrick Mahomes, but you sure
- 37:58Speaker 1: would like that because it's gonna give you the best
- 38:00Speaker 1: consistently winning um. But you need a guy that is
- 38:05Speaker 1: a bona fide starter, franchise guy that can win games.
- 38:09Speaker 1: And so with all that said, if I'm in this draft,
- 38:13Speaker 1: I'm evaluating the heck out of those quarterbacks. And if
- 38:16Speaker 1: I am convinced after my scouting process and I have
- 38:19Speaker 1: conviction and believe that one of those guys is a
- 38:24Speaker 1: future top ten, top five type of player at the
- 38:29Speaker 1: quarterback position, I am making a trade to go get
- 38:32Speaker 1: him bonafide if I do that movie. If he's not,
- 38:41Speaker 1: if I don't have that conviction, then I'm I'm gonna
- 38:44Speaker 1: stick Pat and I'm gonna take my guys he's bona fide,
- 38:48Speaker 1: or maybe the guy want Maybe it's Justin Herbert. I
- 38:51Speaker 1: haven't done any work on any of these guys. Maybe
- 38:53Speaker 1: it's Justin Herbert and I can pick him up. I
- 38:55Speaker 1: don't know. I don't remember last end, the last training camp.
- 39:00Speaker 1: There were questions we I think we talked about on
- 39:02Speaker 1: these shows that there might be issues with mensh you
- 39:05Speaker 1: might need to get another backup court and Gardner and
- 39:08Speaker 1: and Nick Foles was ten times better than him, and
- 39:12Speaker 1: training game and let's not forget what happens again. Hold on, now,
- 39:15Speaker 1: it's not just people on this show, Jeff, you and
- 39:19Speaker 1: I both know it was the people across the hallway too.
- 39:22Speaker 1: There wasn't a consensus that Gardner meants you was the
- 39:26Speaker 1: answer at backup quarterback? How many points did he score
- 39:29Speaker 1: in the preseason? Zero or three or something? Was there
- 39:33Speaker 1: not a lot of questions across the tons of question
- 39:37Speaker 1: There was nobody tons of questions. When I say nobody,
- 39:39Speaker 1: I met nobody that said, boy, we got a guy,
- 39:43Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. We said, we found a guy that
- 39:46Speaker 1: you know has a chance to be a good backup.
- 39:49Speaker 1: That's what we thought. That's exactly what the thought was
- 39:52Speaker 1: at the end of trouble. The thought was that we
- 39:56Speaker 1: might have gotten a good backup and we might have
- 39:58Speaker 1: to get a bet for there's people who thought in
- 40:00Speaker 1: this building we should get a veteran. So Garnmentshi was fabulous.
- 40:05Speaker 1: But one of the things we gotta be really careful
- 40:08Speaker 1: here because it happens too often we completely over value
- 40:12Speaker 1: and over hype individuals way too quick here and maybe
- 40:18Speaker 1: it happens other places. I'm just talking about here because
- 40:21Speaker 1: you have a small sample size of success. Let's not
- 40:24Speaker 1: anoint anybody something they're not, and that's not a shot Gardner.
- 40:29Speaker 1: Gardner did what I actually he did more than I
- 40:33Speaker 1: expected him to. I mean more, and and that's the danger.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Sometimes when you have a perception of a guy, is
- 40:39Speaker 1: you know, a I mean use a one through ten
- 40:42Speaker 1: scale or put it this way. Our perception of Gardenmentsho
- 40:44Speaker 1: would have been different if heels the first first round pick.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Let's say this. If our perception of a guy coming
- 40:48Speaker 1: into the season, he's a three out of ten, like
- 40:52Speaker 1: you know, three, okay, four maybe, and then all of
- 40:56Speaker 1: a sudden he plays at a seven. You're like, oh
- 41:00Speaker 1: my gosh, he's amazing. But if you had a perception
- 41:05Speaker 1: of a guy who's a nine or a ten and
- 41:09Speaker 1: he plays down to an eight, not that good, but
- 41:14Speaker 1: he's still better than this. My point is perception changes everything.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Where are you start with a guy, and so you
- 41:19Speaker 1: have to be so careful. It's a small sample size.
- 41:23Speaker 1: Let this thing play out. Does Gardner Mintshew has qualities
- 41:26Speaker 1: that I love, absolutely does he have qualities I really
- 41:29Speaker 1: question absolutely, let it play out. He's a young player.
- 41:32Speaker 1: I think it's way too early to think. I think
- 41:35Speaker 1: it's way too early, Jeff to say we have an
- 41:37Speaker 1: embarrassed to say we have an embarrassment of riches at quarterback.
- 41:40Speaker 1: That's why when you say let it play it out,
- 41:42Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that you go, let's just let it
- 41:44Speaker 1: play out because we're okay, you go, We're gonna let
- 41:48Speaker 1: it play out. But you know what, we don't know
- 41:50Speaker 1: how it's gonna go, So we better find one and
- 41:53Speaker 1: keep looking. Now, you might look at Joe Burrow and
- 41:58Speaker 1: Herbert and whoever else is in the top to h
- 42:01Speaker 1: and say, you know what, I'm not convinced these are
- 42:03Speaker 1: the guys. And we have enough other holes in other places.
- 42:06Speaker 1: We need to use that draft capital to build our roster.
- 42:08Speaker 1: And there's a good class next year, and there's a
- 42:10Speaker 1: really good class next year or whatever it is. And
- 42:12Speaker 1: you know what, we see this guy who's probably gonna
- 42:14Speaker 1: go into third round that it's not that he's really
- 42:17Speaker 1: not that far off the guys that are going to
- 42:19Speaker 1: go in the first round. And so what we'd rather
- 42:21Speaker 1: take a little bit more risk with a guy in
- 42:24Speaker 1: the third round because less draft capital, because we think
- 42:27Speaker 1: he has the potential. Maybe that's what I'm saying. I mean,
- 42:31Speaker 1: that's how you have to do it. But I mean
- 42:33Speaker 1: I would be working. I'd be working hard on quarterbacks.
- 42:40Speaker 1: We're back in a moment. We're gonna hear from Clais Campbell,
- 42:43Speaker 1: the Walter Payton Man of the Years. That kind of
- 42:47Speaker 1: begs the question too. Yes, cap management, we'll discuss a
- 42:51Speaker 1: little of that. We'll go around the National Football League
- 42:53Speaker 1: as well, and we cap the Chiefs Super Bowl victory.

- 47:08Speaker 1: Walter Peyton Man of the Year. The end of his
- 47:11Speaker 1: accepted speech at the NFL Honors Show this past Saturday
- 47:15Speaker 1: down in South Florida. Welcome back, Jaguars, Happy ur J P. Shadwick,
- 47:18Speaker 1: Jeff Logumant, Tony Basselli and great stuff for Calais. Believable honor.
- 47:23Speaker 1: I'm proud of him. I mean, there's a great player.
- 47:25Speaker 1: And we've we've had opportunity be a lot around a
- 47:28Speaker 1: lot of great players and our playing careers, broadcasting careers
- 47:34Speaker 1: and uh. And I know Tony has had an opportunity
- 47:36Speaker 1: and just recently to be a lot around a lot
- 47:38Speaker 1: of greats uh with the Hall of Fame stuff that
- 47:42Speaker 1: was just recently going on. And and I considered an
- 47:44Speaker 1: honor to have been exposed to a guy like Calais
- 47:48Speaker 1: Campbell because I think he is truly one of the
- 47:50Speaker 1: great players. When I say great players, I'm not talking
- 47:53Speaker 1: about just on the playing field, because that's what Peyton
- 47:56Speaker 1: Man of the Year award is about, is about not
- 47:58Speaker 1: only a great player, but a great person and contributor
- 48:01Speaker 1: to the community. And I don't know if you could
- 48:05Speaker 1: ever have a better role model for young players in
- 48:08Speaker 1: the National Football League. And congratulations to Klais, well deserved, awesome.
- 48:13Speaker 1: I saw him giving a big hug on the field. Uh.
- 48:16Speaker 1: Pregame at the Super Bowl and congratulate him so excited
- 48:19Speaker 1: for him, excited for the organization. It's a big deal.
- 48:22Speaker 1: And uh, Clais is a pro on the field, really good, great,
- 48:28Speaker 1: great couple of a couple of seasons, a few seasons
- 48:30Speaker 1: here now three years with the Jaguars, and had a
- 48:33Speaker 1: very nice career in Arizona. But what he does off
- 48:36Speaker 1: the field and who he is as a person probably
- 48:39Speaker 1: means more to me. And he just handled himself the
- 48:42Speaker 1: right way. And Jackson was lucky to have a guy
- 48:45Speaker 1: like him in their community, and is how long will
- 48:48Speaker 1: he be in the community. But before we get to that,
- 48:50Speaker 1: just real quick, I mean, if people haven't had an
- 48:52Speaker 1: opportunity to read about Calais's upgreen upbringing and to understand
- 48:57Speaker 1: where he's come from, uh uh wow. I mean why
- 49:01Speaker 1: you talk about a tough upbringing now truly tremendous to Colorado,
- 49:06Speaker 1: another Colorado boy. For him to end up where he's
- 49:08Speaker 1: had now the decision the greatest state, the greatest state
- 49:14Speaker 1: in the Union, now the decision about his future, you
- 49:18Speaker 1: gotta I mean, to my opinion, you find a way
- 49:20Speaker 1: to keep a guy like that. And when you say
- 49:22Speaker 1: find a way because he said something to the Pro
- 49:24Speaker 1: Bowl that he doesn't think he needs to take a discount. Look,
- 49:28Speaker 1: if he doesn't need, if he doesn't want to take
- 49:30Speaker 1: a discount, I'm gonna find a way to make it
- 49:31Speaker 1: work for one more year. Because but Jeff, I understand
- 49:36Speaker 1: what you're saying, but the dollars and cents, you're over
- 49:40Speaker 1: the cap right now. You have to get under the
- 49:44Speaker 1: cap just to sign people for your draft. If nothing else,
- 49:48Speaker 1: tell mum you can't take them, um. And that's what's
- 49:57Speaker 1: apparently she's not listening. That's what my kids call my mom. Yeah,
- 50:02Speaker 1: that's that's that's what they've called here. You know, here's
- 50:04Speaker 1: how you do it. Don't finish and so you like
- 50:08Speaker 1: you got you, I mean, you have to decide what
- 50:13Speaker 1: you're gonna do it a lot of different places where
- 50:17Speaker 1: where where where's a cut that can be made that's
- 50:19Speaker 1: about equal money. I don't I think this is one
- 50:22Speaker 1: of the most He's well, I mean Darius Si yeah, okay,
- 50:26Speaker 1: but that's one. By the way you keep cutting all
- 50:30Speaker 1: these guys, you're creating more holes to fill. And we
- 50:35Speaker 1: talked about that last week, and and because Antonio made
- 50:39Speaker 1: mention of this and that you know, Dave Caldwell was
- 50:41Speaker 1: asked about or make comments about getting back into the
- 50:45Speaker 1: Cap and it was I don't want to say it
- 50:46Speaker 1: was nonchalant, but he felt very confident that, you know,
- 50:48Speaker 1: they look, we can get another cap and be a player.
- 50:51Speaker 1: And and I was gonna, WHOA, how do you know?
- 50:54Speaker 1: That's tough decisions. And then if you're a player, then
- 50:57Speaker 1: that means you gotta be a player because you gotta
- 51:00Speaker 1: find somebody to take the place of the guys that
- 51:02Speaker 1: you just like go so you can get into the cab.
- 51:05Speaker 1: But I mean, my opinion, you gotta find a way
- 51:08Speaker 1: to keep a guy like Klass and so you pay him.
- 51:13Speaker 1: Think he's new nineteen this year? Is that right? J
- 51:17Speaker 1: he's fifteen? It's like two and a half million, I
- 51:19Speaker 1: think is uh is what is left in the in
- 51:23Speaker 1: the pro raded signing bonus. And then I think he's
- 51:25Speaker 1: pay out his fourteen or fifteen in real money some
- 51:29Speaker 1: somewhere in that range. But here's the reality. Did he
- 51:32Speaker 1: not play over the value of fifteen million a year?
- 51:36Speaker 1: Not last year, but the two years prior to that. Absolutely,
- 51:40Speaker 1: you know, So if you're trying to find a little
- 51:42Speaker 1: bit of justification, for paying a guy like but for
- 51:48Speaker 1: some people dollars and cents. For some people, they're like,
- 51:51Speaker 1: we don't. And Jeff, you and I both have said
- 51:54Speaker 1: in fairness like class players always feel different, united the same.
- 51:58Speaker 1: We always think we have more in the tank than
- 52:00Speaker 1: um we might. Plays is a guy that I think
- 52:04Speaker 1: she'd be paying playing probably less naps than he did
- 52:08Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, absolutely, I totally agree with that. So
- 52:11Speaker 1: with that, you're gonna have a part time player you're
- 52:12Speaker 1: paying fifteen million plus. I get it. I want him
- 52:15Speaker 1: on the team too because of who he is, if
- 52:17Speaker 1: what he brings the locker room, his leadership is an
- 52:20Speaker 1: impact player. He is going if if Josh Allen last year, yes, yes,
- 52:27Speaker 1: if you had if you Okay, Josh Allen's a part
- 52:30Speaker 1: time player and he shouldn't be. He needs to be
- 52:32Speaker 1: a full time That's what this year and he will be,
- 52:35Speaker 1: I'm sure. But that's the kind of role that you
- 52:37Speaker 1: envisioned for Collaistions. But let me ask you this. With
- 52:41Speaker 1: that role, Josh Allen had the numbers, he was impactful,
- 52:45Speaker 1: and I think the impact plays might have better numbers
- 52:48Speaker 1: if he played less snaps. What what is his number
- 52:51Speaker 1: for next year? Seventeen and change and it's a million
- 52:55Speaker 1: uh dead money. So find a way to go because
- 53:01Speaker 1: here's the thing that with that decision, it's not like
- 53:03Speaker 1: you're making that decision that's gonna hurt you and one
- 53:08Speaker 1: and you know what, Hey, I gotta win right now. Okay,
- 53:13Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask is there ever gonna win right now?
- 53:16Speaker 1: So you so you're saying cut I mean I mean
- 53:18Speaker 1: like darkness is gone, right, I mean yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 53:21Speaker 1: I mean he's he's probably he's definitely gone. A J
- 53:24Speaker 1: Boyer gone. Okay, So that gets you that's a tough
- 53:28Speaker 1: tough spot to film, Okay, but that gets you a
- 53:31Speaker 1: probably you're probably thirty three under the cap with those two.
- 53:37Speaker 1: We say you need it for the rookie class marquis okay, um, yeah,
- 53:51Speaker 1: you get rid of normal. Yeah it's another hold of show.
- 53:56Speaker 1: Look enough, okay, Now it's all because he says a
- 54:01Speaker 1: lot of dead probably looking at how much? How much is?
- 54:08Speaker 1: How much is the rookie class? Cast you what did
- 54:11Speaker 1: we say number is? And I can't remember what it was,
- 54:16Speaker 1: but you're still that that's a lot of money opening up? Yeah, well,
- 54:20Speaker 1: I know, look more holes. Now you gotta be a
- 54:25Speaker 1: player you're getting rid of free agency, just got rid
- 54:28Speaker 1: of four starters on a team that was six or
- 54:32Speaker 1: six one team last year. M yeah, so what are
- 54:40Speaker 1: you saying. I'm saying it's tough. I agree. I mean,
- 54:44Speaker 1: you got you got your point of your point of
- 54:46Speaker 1: glass is fair. But the reality we're hoping he take
- 54:50Speaker 1: a little bit of a discount. But I don't think
- 54:51Speaker 1: here's the reality. You're you're creating more holes for a
- 54:56Speaker 1: team that had six wins. But here's the reality, right,
- 55:01Speaker 1: you also had six wins with those guys. That's a
- 55:03Speaker 1: great point, very good point. So okay, yeah, it is
- 55:12Speaker 1: you're right, right, right right? I mean you didn't win
- 55:15Speaker 1: me again, what's the argument. There's no other argument. Let's
- 55:19Speaker 1: go around the national football shall we. I mean, you've
- 55:24Speaker 1: left a speechless That's how good of an argument. That was?
- 55:26Speaker 1: All right, you left Tony speechless. That's it's the Kansas
- 55:31Speaker 1: City Chiefs, for the first time in fifty years, win
- 55:35Speaker 1: the Lombardi Trophy with a wild come back in the
- 55:38Speaker 1: fourth quarter to win Super Bowl fifty four. Tony, you
- 55:41Speaker 1: were there, Um, what a performance it was in that
- 55:44Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So there's like seven minutes left it's third
- 55:46Speaker 1: and fifteen, and I'm not making this step. We're talking
- 55:48Speaker 1: in through the producer and everyone else, like what's forts
- 55:51Speaker 1: were gonna grab because at that point the chiefs had
- 55:54Speaker 1: done nothing at all and they were the pastors was
- 55:57Speaker 1: killing mahomes. He was not having a good night. I mean,
- 56:00Speaker 1: like offensive line for Kanpas City played terrible. Outside the
- 56:03Speaker 1: right tackle most resources was really good. He was good,
- 56:08Speaker 1: And so I was sitting there thinking, we started talking
- 56:10Speaker 1: about who're gonna get? Was getting beat like a drum
- 56:14Speaker 1: was getting beat like a drum if the doctor was
- 56:17Speaker 1: getting beat. We're talking about like when are we gonna
- 56:19Speaker 1: get Robert Solis is a historic defensive performance. I mean,
- 56:22Speaker 1: all this stuff, and then the third and fifteen changed
- 56:25Speaker 1: at all. And here's the thing. It's a post corner
- 56:28Speaker 1: by three kills the number two receiver and it's a
- 56:31Speaker 1: combination route that Robert saw. They worked on Friday and
- 56:35Speaker 1: Saturday outside Number one runs a deep end. It's cover
- 56:39Speaker 1: three post corner, and they made the call They're not
- 56:43Speaker 1: gonna sit, They're not going to carry the deep end.
- 56:45Speaker 1: They're gonna let it go in that corner has to
- 56:47Speaker 1: get depth for the post. For the post corner. He
- 56:52Speaker 1: bit on the dig in the post corner is wide open.
- 56:55Speaker 1: Then he's sitting there just waiting on the ball. He's
- 56:58Speaker 1: and so literally that play and they wrapped it, and
- 57:00Speaker 1: they wrapped it, and they wrapped it. If they if
- 57:02Speaker 1: the if the guy just doesn't take the cheese, take
- 57:07Speaker 1: debate and chase that in. He's back there and now
- 57:11Speaker 1: he may hit the dig, but it's not the big play.
- 57:15Speaker 1: And boy, that changed everything. That in the call. You know,
- 57:20Speaker 1: they score, it's a three point game. You're like, all right, here,
- 57:23Speaker 1: come to non didn't do much well, But forget that.
- 57:25Speaker 1: I agree with that. But the big thing is they
- 57:27Speaker 1: run the ball with Mosart first and they get five
- 57:29Speaker 1: yards and first down. It's second and five. This is
- 57:32Speaker 1: the second best rushing team in the NFL. Again, Kyle,
- 57:35Speaker 1: this is when I'm first down. Go run it again.
- 57:38Speaker 1: Worst case scenario, your third and two, third and one,
- 57:41Speaker 1: and and like you got the right where you want him,
- 57:44Speaker 1: drop out the pack, pass into Kyle's defense. You guys
- 57:49Speaker 1: wide open. He found him. Chris Jones went up and
- 57:53Speaker 1: deflected the ball. He is wide open guy. Oh yeah,
- 57:57Speaker 1: he did, he did. He missed. He missed the game
- 57:59Speaker 1: winner to Manuel Sanders on the open is there's no
- 58:04Speaker 1: safety Kittle a couple of times. Yeah, I mean Kiddle
- 58:09Speaker 1: is one of those guys that you can just stare
- 58:10Speaker 1: at him. He'll find a way to get on. So yeah,
- 58:13Speaker 1: it was, but boy, I was it was a crazy game. Nuts.
- 58:16Speaker 1: Should they pay mahomes s a p paying like as
- 58:19Speaker 1: much as they want pay him now because it cost
- 58:22Speaker 1: more next year, that's right. Price price tag just keeps
- 58:24Speaker 1: going up paying him. But he was not very good
- 58:28Speaker 1: at the beginning. Now he's getting harassed. He was not well. No,
- 58:31Speaker 1: look he wasn't getting pressed. He was getting harassed some
- 58:34Speaker 1: but not that much. He's getting harassed and the pressure
- 58:37Speaker 1: got to him and he started throwing. He started the
- 58:40Speaker 1: clock started taking. He was like, oh my gosh. And
- 58:44Speaker 1: then you're going, wait a minute, what are you doing
- 58:46Speaker 1: that time? Dude? Slow down? But it was great. But
- 58:51Speaker 1: he overcame it. That's what he did. Great players five
- 58:55Speaker 1: and oh in his career. Uh being down ten points
