Speaker 1: Welcome in to the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review podcast presented
0:10
Speaker 1: by t I A. A. Bank, JP Shatrick With you
0:13
Speaker 1: and this is our weekly look at the best of
0:14
Speaker 1: the Jaguars broadcasting and digital shows from the past week,
0:18
Speaker 1: including this week Dave Caldwell and Doug Maron discussing character
0:23
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Caleb and Chason chatting on Instagram Live,
0:27
Speaker 1: Auburn head coached Gus Malson explaining the recruitment of Daniel Thomas,
0:32
Speaker 1: and much much more. Let's begin with our annual Draft
0:35
Speaker 1: recap show, presented by Florida Blue. It aired Sunday on
0:39
Speaker 1: the Jaguars social media channels and included a full recap
0:42
Speaker 1: of the entire draft class with John Osan, Brian Sexton,
0:45
Speaker 1: and me. But it also included Ashland Sullivan's great one
0:48
Speaker 1: on one visits immediately after the draft with g M
0:51
Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell and head coach Doug Maron. The Jaguars feel
0:55
Speaker 1: like they got better over the course of the NFL Draft,
0:58
Speaker 1: not only on the field, what outside the building as well.
1:02
Speaker 1: It seems like every single pick I talked he was
1:04
Speaker 1: either a team captain, a boy scout, something great off
1:08
Speaker 1: the field. So it's obviously that character was a huge
1:11
Speaker 1: emphasis in this draft. Is it even more so than
1:14
Speaker 1: we think? Well, it always is, uh, And and there's
1:17
Speaker 1: always a risk reward and when you know the players
1:19
Speaker 1: are gonna draft and you know, some of their makeup
1:21
Speaker 1: and players can develop and grow and mature and stuff
1:24
Speaker 1: like that too. So we just felt really good about
1:26
Speaker 1: the skill set of the players, but also like their
1:29
Speaker 1: makeup and that's important for us, and that's important as
1:31
Speaker 1: we go for it. And this is a big foundation
1:33
Speaker 1: building piece for this organization and twelve picks and uh,
1:37
Speaker 1: we want these guys to be around for a long
1:38
Speaker 1: period of time. We talked about it quite a bit,
1:40
Speaker 1: but we also want to make sure we also bought
1:42
Speaker 1: in good football players. So I don't want people, you know,
1:45
Speaker 1: to say, uh, well, they brought in these guys and
1:47
Speaker 1: they lowered themselves from the standpoint of what talent they
1:50
Speaker 1: were going to bring in. I mean, you know, we
1:52
Speaker 1: just got a great match of these twelve players, of
1:55
Speaker 1: a match of you know, really good talent, really good
1:58
Speaker 1: potential and also obviously come from good foundations and good
2:03
Speaker 1: character and you know, really not a lot of a
2:05
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going around around him except football. The
2:08
Speaker 1: full show archive available now on Jaguars dot com. Speaking
2:13
Speaker 1: of character, Josh Allen has it and is one all
2:17
Speaker 1: at the same time. The defensive end and linebacker is
2:20
Speaker 1: entering his second NFL season after going to the Jaguars
2:23
Speaker 1: in the first round out of Kentucky back in defensive
2:27
Speaker 1: end and linebacker. Caleb and Chason from l s U
2:30
Speaker 1: was the twenty overall pick this year. That means another
2:33
Speaker 1: pass rushing threat joins the Jags defense. Allen and Chason
2:37
Speaker 1: caught up on an Instagram live conversation that should scare
2:41
Speaker 1: any offensive tackle listening. I broke ten last year. Yeah,
2:46
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, as soon as it's fall
2:50
Speaker 1: in line. So as soon we got you, I'm like, yes,

2:55
Speaker 1: a great history out here. Broame just going here. This
3:00
Speaker 1: ain't you know the choice, but the hit it's gonna
3:01
Speaker 1: be so cold though. I can just see it now though.
3:04
Speaker 1: But like I was telling people that I was telling,
3:06
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, Like how from I
3:08

Speaker 1: LSU in the room, like yeah, he really cold. You
3:20
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I still feel like you didn't
3:21
Speaker 1: even get enough respect in your name. But I was like, yeah,
3:24
Speaker 1: Bro really cold, he really likes So I used to
3:26
Speaker 1: watch your stuff. And then, you know what I'm saying,
3:28
Speaker 1: Like when this hit, I was like a couple of rooms.
3:31
Speaker 1: You know, a little money draft, you can't really pay attention.
3:34
Speaker 1: But I like, Bro, even in a mine, dropping on
3:36
Speaker 1: something like that would be crazy. That be on the
3:38
Speaker 1: opposite side of you. You know what I'm saying, Like,
3:40
Speaker 1: then there's really no there's no way you can handle
3:42
Speaker 1: that because you got two side. You can't dope with
3:45
Speaker 1: both sides. Like nothing you can really do. But they
3:48
Speaker 1: just watch you how you hit the Pro Bowls and
3:50
Speaker 1: all that too. I was like, yeah, he doing the
3:52
Speaker 1: stand for show. Bro, Like I'm still learning, you know
3:55
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, yeah, when you was like, uh,

Speaker 1: like you still rodd. You know what I'm saying, You
4:01
Speaker 1: still rod pass us. You're still Rod trying to do everything.
4:04
Speaker 1: But I felt like I was that same way. But
4:06
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta do what you gotta do. But
4:08
Speaker 1: I feel like I gotta take that next step, you
4:10
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and just really getting technique sound
4:13
Speaker 1: and really really trying to understand the game and like
4:16
Speaker 1: and just trying to get right. And I feel like
4:19
Speaker 1: we at we the same age. Yeah, then they got
4:22
Speaker 1: the same years together, you know what saying, We're gonna
4:24
Speaker 1: be together for a long time. And it's like, bro,
4:27
Speaker 1: we can learn from that, we can learn from each other.
4:28
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna learn from you good stuff from
4:31
Speaker 1: those two guys. Alan and Chase sign Put those two
4:33
Speaker 1: within got way and you might have something special on defense.
4:38
Speaker 1: The draft experience this year was different than any other before,
4:41
Speaker 1: and there might not be much like it in the future.
4:44
Speaker 1: Ashlan Sullivan caught up with cornerback c J. Henderson, the
4:47
Speaker 1: first round pick, on Instagram Live, and he explained how
4:51
Speaker 1: it felt un draft night with all the changes. Yeah,
4:54
Speaker 1: it was crazy, and I was actually upset a little
4:56
Speaker 1: bit at first. I wasn't able, you know, to get
4:58
Speaker 1: the draft experience walking up on stage and hear your
5:01
Speaker 1: name called. But it's still once in a lifetime moment
5:05
Speaker 1: taking advantage of and I'm still very thankful I'm sure
5:08
Speaker 1: you know the rest of the prospects in our class
5:10
Speaker 1: on the same week, and we have a lot of
5:12
Speaker 1: mature guys in our class, so I'm sure they're handling
5:14
Speaker 1: it the same way. More Instagram Live audio coming up
5:18
Speaker 1: a little bit later. That was a nice addition to
5:20
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com coverage this year. Now to our Jaguars
5:25
Speaker 1: Draft Daily podcast presented by your local Ford Dealers. This
5:28
Speaker 1: was a daily recap of what happened for the Jaguars
5:31
Speaker 1: in the draft that day. On Saturday. After it was
5:34
Speaker 1: all said and done, Ashwan John Brian and I gazed
5:38
Speaker 1: into the future. Who will be at the end of
5:42
Speaker 1: the day, five seven years from now the best player
5:45
Speaker 1: overall out of this draft class Ashwood go for. I
5:48
Speaker 1: think he's gotta be Colin Johnson. I think he stands
5:51
Speaker 1: out in the wide receiver group, and I know that
5:52
Speaker 1: they also drop him another wide receiver, but just talking
5:55
Speaker 1: in the confidence he has, I think he was very
5:57
Speaker 1: underrated in this draft class. That big body that the
6:00
Speaker 1: Jaguars don't really have right now. I think in three
6:04
Speaker 1: years we're gonna be talking about similarity to what we
6:06
Speaker 1: talked about with d J. Chark, That big jump he
6:09
Speaker 1: made from year one to year two. I see the
6:11
Speaker 1: same thing out of him. Good family, good character, just
6:15
Speaker 1: wants to play. But that big body right now that
6:18
Speaker 1: the Jaguars don't have a wide receiver, well better be c. J.
6:21
Speaker 1: Henderson because he's the first pick and the number nine
6:23
Speaker 1: overall pick. So if it's not, then something ate right
6:27
Speaker 1: j P. But um, I'm gonna go for the sake
6:30
Speaker 1: of the conversation with Chenalt and I get the schlen
6:34
Speaker 1: Light's Colin Johnson. But Chanald is a guy that we
6:37
Speaker 1: haven't seen around here in a while. The physicality, the
6:41
Speaker 1: ability to make plays in the open field. There were
6:43
Speaker 1: times in justin Blackman's brief time where he would catch
6:47
Speaker 1: the ball and he just looked like a monster out there.
6:50
Speaker 1: And they've had playmaking at the wide receiver position, but
6:53
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've had that element where there's
6:56
Speaker 1: a guy that you're just scared to get in his way,
6:59
Speaker 1: A man's ann and uh so to speak, I'm excited
7:03
Speaker 1: to see how that translates. It's also interesting that when
7:06
Speaker 1: we asked Keeno McCardell about it, it's gonna be trickering.
7:08
Speaker 1: Some of these guys can tribute right away because of
7:10
Speaker 1: the O t a situation that canna be your training camp.
7:12
Speaker 1: But he said because of his physicality and because of
7:15
Speaker 1: the way he plays, that he's a guy you can
7:17
Speaker 1: get the ball, he can just make plays. It may
7:19
Speaker 1: be a quicker learning curve and a quicker ability to
7:23
Speaker 1: contribute for him to maybe some of the other guys.
7:25
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, I mean, I'm with John C. J.
7:28
Speaker 1: Henderson had better be that guy because they took him
7:31
Speaker 1: number nine overall, and and he's a skilled guy. And
7:35
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue with Chanel because he would have
7:37
Speaker 1: been a top ten pick had he not suffered through
7:39
Speaker 1: some injuries in his junior year. So let me just
7:41
Speaker 1: go with the esoteric pick. And I'll go with Josiah Scott. Um.
7:46
Speaker 1: I everything I read about him, and I didn't see
7:49
Speaker 1: Michigan State play at all this year, um, but everything
7:52
Speaker 1: I read is that he is an elite tackling cornerback.
7:56
Speaker 1: He doesn't have great size, he's got great ketchup speed, Um,
8:00
Speaker 1: but he's tough, he's a hard worker, he's smart, understands
8:04
Speaker 1: the game, and I just I like that, And I
8:08
Speaker 1: think he's a guy who is when you look at
8:11
Speaker 1: it on face value. D J. Hayden's going into what
8:13
Speaker 1: his eighth year. This looks like a replacement for d J.
8:16
Speaker 1: Hayden at some point. You know, a guy who can
8:18
Speaker 1: play inside, who's smart and tough, can handle all the traffic,
8:22
Speaker 1: right because those nickelbacks, they've got guys coming at him
8:25
Speaker 1: from all angles. They've gotta be smart, they've gotta be tough,
8:27
Speaker 1: they've gotta be quick. So I'll say that Josiah Scott
8:31
Speaker 1: a couple of seasons from now, we'll look back and
8:33
Speaker 1: say that was a really good pick because he is
8:36
Speaker 1: a foundation piece on the Jaguars defense. Give me Caleb
8:40
Speaker 1: and Chaison to go out with Josh Allen and we'll
8:44
Speaker 1: see Unique and Gagway And as we said on a
8:46
Speaker 1: previous show this week, if they can get all three
8:48
Speaker 1: of those guys on the field, look out and that
8:49
Speaker 1: would help all three of those guys. But Chasa has
8:52
Speaker 1: the ability to do a bunch of different things. Coming
8:54
Speaker 1: up on the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review presented by t

Speaker 1: i A, A Bank wide receiver, Hollin Johnson explains the
9:01

Speaker 1: the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend review presented by t I A
9:52
Speaker 1: A Bank. We roll along to the loveliest village on
9:56
Speaker 1: the planes, Auburn, Alabama. The Jaguars selected safety d Annual
10:00
Speaker 1: Thomas from Auburn in the fifth round, one of six
10:03
Speaker 1: Auburn players drafted this year, four of those from a
10:07
Speaker 1: very good defense. Thomas attended Robert E. Lee High School
10:10
Speaker 1: in Montgomery, Alabama, about fifty miles away from the Auburn campus.
10:15
Speaker 1: But in the recruiting process, he had not received an
10:17
Speaker 1: official offer from Auburn, and that was the place he
10:20
Speaker 1: really wanted to play. But in the final hours before
10:23
Speaker 1: signing with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Auburn came calling. I
10:28
Speaker 1: caught up with Auburn head coach gust malz On on
10:30
Speaker 1: a zoom conversation this week where he recounted the late
10:33
Speaker 1: recruitment of Thomas and explained what he meant to the
10:35
Speaker 1: Auburn program. And of course he's right down the roads.
10:38
Speaker 1: We knew about him. Brought him in an official bast
10:40
Speaker 1: the last weekend and you can just kind of tell
10:43
Speaker 1: his positive energy. Got a chance to meet his family
10:47
Speaker 1: that weekend too, and so after he left, we wanted
10:50
Speaker 1: to make this thing work. And luckily the numbers worked
10:53
Speaker 1: out and we were able to make that call I
10:54
Speaker 1: think about seven seven thirty Wednesday morning, and uh, you know,
10:58
Speaker 1: he was overjoyed as home was on the phone cry
11:01
Speaker 1: and it was a real special moment for him to
11:03
Speaker 1: be drafted. Now, I mean it's just uh, it's just
11:06
Speaker 1: a real special deal. And what kind of person did
11:09
Speaker 1: he become in those years at all? I'll tell you
11:10
Speaker 1: what you're getting. An unbelievable leaders, such a positive person,
11:14
Speaker 1: a very spiritual person. I mean he'll he'll send Bible
11:17
Speaker 1: verses out every day, you know, to the team and
11:20
Speaker 1: the staff. He's our f c A leader. Me and
11:22
Speaker 1: my wife, we we take guys on mission trips in
11:25
Speaker 1: the spring and he went back to back years and
11:28
Speaker 1: just a wonderful human being that's gonna bring a lot
11:31
Speaker 1: of positivity to that locker room. Dust Man was on
11:33
Speaker 1: with his head coach of the Auburn Tigers. Now on
11:36
Speaker 1: the field, he was paired up with Jeremiah Denson at
11:38
Speaker 1: the safety position the last couple of years. That was
11:40
Speaker 1: a good tag team combo in the back end of
11:42
Speaker 1: your defense there. He was second on the team and
11:44
Speaker 1: tackles the last two years. What kind of player will
11:48
Speaker 1: the Jaguars get at the safety position and on special
11:50
Speaker 1: teams as well. Yeah, I call him the heat seeking missile.
11:53
Speaker 1: I mean, he just has nose for the ball and um,
11:56
Speaker 1: you know, and he's a very good tackler, a good
11:58
Speaker 1: open field tackler, a great competitor and uh he's experienced.
12:03
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about a guy that's been a
12:04
Speaker 1: lot of big games, understands the game, understand situations. And
12:09
Speaker 1: you just said a special teams he's one of our
12:10
Speaker 1: better special teams player. And he took special teams just
12:13
Speaker 1: as you know, serious as he did defense. And he
12:16
Speaker 1: was one of our special teams leaders. And uh, you know,
12:20
Speaker 1: I can't say enough good things about him. He's got
12:22
Speaker 1: a chance of playing in the league a long long time.
12:25
Speaker 1: What was the best moment that you remember from him
12:28
Speaker 1: on the field? Is it that Iron Bowl his first
12:31
Speaker 1: time out, a couple of picks against hurts Her? Is
12:33
Speaker 1: there something later in his career that stands up for you?
12:35
Speaker 1: I tell you what you just I mean, you just
12:36
Speaker 1: said it, like start out as a true freshman in
12:39
Speaker 1: the Iron Bowl on the road two interceptions. Uh, he
12:42
Speaker 1: grew up in the state and he understands how big
12:45
Speaker 1: that is. And that really just laid the groundwork for
12:47
Speaker 1: him from a confident standpoint that hey, not only can
12:50
Speaker 1: I play in this league, but I can play very
12:53
Speaker 1: high level. And then after that, really the the next
12:56
Speaker 1: three years, it was just like he turned into one
12:58
Speaker 1: of our leaders, a guy that you can count one.
13:01
Speaker 1: Uh that has so much character. Uh. He loves practice
13:05
Speaker 1: and he loves the game of football. I mean and uh,
13:08
Speaker 1: like I said, I can't say enough good things. The
13:11
Speaker 1: full conversation with Gus Malison available on Jaguars dot Com
13:15
Speaker 1: and Jaguars social media pages. We had from Tumors Corner
13:19
Speaker 1: to the live music capital of the world, Austin, Texas.
13:23
Speaker 1: Johnny Johnson played cornerback in the NFL for ten seasons
13:27
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties, nine of those with the Los
13:29
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, and he was the first team All Pro
13:31
Speaker 1: selection in nineteen eighty three. But prior to that, he
13:34
Speaker 1: was a consensus All America selection for the Texas Longhorns
13:38
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy eight and seventy nine, and back in
13:41
Speaker 1: two thousand seven, he was inducted into the College Football
13:44
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. I told you that story to tell
13:47
Speaker 1: you this story. We turned the page forward and his son,
13:50
Speaker 1: Colin played wide receiver at Texas and the Jaguars selected
13:54
Speaker 1: Colin Johnson in the fifth round of the twenty NFL draft.
13:58
Speaker 1: Ashevid Sullivan called up with Colin Johnson on Instagram Live
14:02
Speaker 1: and the competition never ends in the Johnson family, So
14:05
Speaker 1: how did that work when you guys were growing up?
14:07
Speaker 1: Were you always running routes against him? And how did
14:09
Speaker 1: that kind of influence your football career? Yeah, my dad
14:12
Speaker 1: to this day thinks he can cover me. I'm convinced
14:15
Speaker 1: he can't. We always go back and forth on that,
14:17
Speaker 1: but um, you know, and and all honesty. He was
14:20
Speaker 1: a great player, um, And we always grew up real
14:23
Speaker 1: competitive and I definitely feel like the way he raised
14:27
Speaker 1: me brought the best out of me as a player
14:29
Speaker 1: and as a person. That tall receiver should be a threat,
14:32
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone. He can go up and
14:34
Speaker 1: get it and it could be a nice addition for
14:36
Speaker 1: this Jaguars offense. Now the Jaguars Drive Time Hearing Tuesday
14:40
Speaker 1: mornings on the Jaguars social channels and Jaguars dot Com. ASHLEYN.
14:44
Speaker 1: John and Brian dig into the ozone mail bag for
14:47
Speaker 1: a question about a new Jags linebacker. Do you agree
14:51
Speaker 1: if local guys shot quarterman turns out as great as
14:54
Speaker 1: its potential, our three floor look could be really strong.
14:58
Speaker 1: I absolutely think it dies and I don't know that
15:00
Speaker 1: they'll go to it immediately. I don't think there's any
15:03
Speaker 1: question there's gonna be elements of it in the defense.
15:06
Speaker 1: Next year, all fans want to talk about three or
15:09
Speaker 1: four versus four three. Well, it's always in this Jaguar
15:14
Speaker 1: scheme to be a hybrid. You can bend it toward
15:17
Speaker 1: the three four, you can bend it toward the four three.
15:19
Speaker 1: If they can get these guys on the field and
15:22
Speaker 1: teach it and be ready for the season, I think
15:25
Speaker 1: the three or four could have a lot or there
15:26
Speaker 1: could be a lot of three or four elements in it,
15:29
Speaker 1: although I don't know what this bunch if they'll break
15:30
Speaker 1: down and call it a three four. Teams in the
15:34
Speaker 1: late nineties that ran the three four, the Steelers, the Eagles,
15:38
