Speaker 1: Welcome into the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review podcast presented by
0:09
Speaker 1: t I A A. Bank JP. Shadrick with you and
0:12
Speaker 1: today is Friday, September four, and we've made it to
0:15
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend. I hope you have some fun on
0:17
Speaker 1: the agenda over this long weekend before settling in for
0:21
Speaker 1: football season starting next week. On this week's podcast, we
0:25
Speaker 1: have a full review of the busiest week of the
0:27
Speaker 1: year to date at t I A. Bank Field, including
0:30
Speaker 1: the aftermath of the major moves for Net and Gockway
0:33
Speaker 1: and Harrison are all moving on and while the Jaguars
0:36
Speaker 1: first round history must change. Plus Doug bron gives us
0:40
Speaker 1: the four things he wants from players on the Jaguars roster.
0:43
Speaker 1: Let's start early in the week with the biggest change
0:46
Speaker 1: of the week. The Jaguars waite former first round pick
0:49
Speaker 1: running back Leonard for Net Monday. He later cleared waivers
0:52
Speaker 1: and was signed as a free agent by the Tampa
0:54
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Unfortunately, that move continued a trend of Jaguar's
0:58
Speaker 1: first round picks not ending a second deal with the organization,
1:01
Speaker 1: a problem that goes back Awhile only three of the
1:04
Speaker 1: Jaguars first round picks from OH three to seventeen signed
1:08
Speaker 1: second deals with the team, tight end Mercedes Lewis, defensive
1:11
Speaker 1: lineman Tyson lo Alo, and quarterback Blake Portals. On Jaguars
1:15
Speaker 1: Happy Hour Monday, Pete Prisco, Tony Boselli and I broke
1:18
Speaker 1: down that unfortunate history and explained why it needs to change. Now.
1:23
Speaker 1: Are you gonna hit on all your first rounders? No,
1:25
Speaker 1: but you gotta hit on a high percentage. And those
1:26
Speaker 1: are the guys that, especially top five picks, Those are
1:29
Speaker 1: the guys you have to build your franchise around. Those
1:33
Speaker 1: are the guys going to the you know what, I'm
1:35
Speaker 1: gonna say, Hawaii, but it's not in Hawai anymore. Those
1:37
Speaker 1: are the guys going to the Pro Bowl. Those are
1:38
Speaker 1: the guys who are top three at their position group.
1:41
Speaker 1: Those are the guys that are on the top hundred
1:43
Speaker 1: players nowadays that they do on NFL. I mean, you
1:45
Speaker 1: need those type. Those are stars, those are impact players,
1:49
Speaker 1: and when you miss on those, boy, it's really hard.
1:53
Speaker 1: It is really hard. And that's the thing. Tony, even
1:56
Speaker 1: going back to Coughlin's first round picks, he he had
2:00
Speaker 1: a lot of faults and he missed on guys but
2:02
Speaker 1: he hit his first round picks. Yeah, I mean, I
2:04
Speaker 1: mean you think of Tom's first rounders, you me Stu.
2:09
Speaker 1: Stu was a good running back, good running back. He
2:12
Speaker 1: was the last pick of the first round too. He
2:14
Speaker 1: was really a second rounder because because we had the
2:16
Speaker 1: extra picks. Um Hardy, Kevin Hardy, Pro Bowl player, um
2:21
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor, Um Fernando Bryant, Starter, Donovan Darius Starter, Starter,
2:29
Speaker 1: all those guys are starters. And then it went bad
2:32
Speaker 1: when the panics started when he picked R. J. Sawards.
2:35
Speaker 1: And then he got back on track though, you know,
2:37
Speaker 1: John Henderson, Marcus Stroud, Stroud, I mean so, I mean yeah,
2:41
Speaker 1: I mean for the both parts. Now you can argue
2:43
Speaker 1: some of the down the road guys he picked that
2:45
Speaker 1: we're kind of like, huh. And by the way, that's
2:47
Speaker 1: that was the nucleus of our team when we were good.
2:49
Speaker 1: Couple about here's about these first round picks. Though, he
2:53
Speaker 1: had knuckleheads in a lot of those first round picks.
2:56
Speaker 1: And for example, Justin Blackman was a disaster. Jalen ran
3:00
Speaker 1: em Z didn't work out a large part because of himself.
3:03
Speaker 1: Donte Fowler. You remember all the stories you heard about
3:06
Speaker 1: Todd Day, Fowler when he was in Jack but he
3:07
Speaker 1: was immature. He wasn't going to his rehab meetings, he
3:09
Speaker 1: wasn't doing a lot of things. A lot of those situations.
3:13
Speaker 1: You knew they had issues in some situations, and you
3:16
Speaker 1: drafted him anyway. So that's why that's part of the
3:18
Speaker 1: problem at some point. By the way, JP one thing,
3:22
Speaker 1: the two thousand thirteen draft was awful, and you know
3:26
Speaker 1: we could You could nail joke O for all you want,
3:29
Speaker 1: but Eric Fisher is a decent player. But he was
3:31
Speaker 1: the first overall pick. Let's not forget the other guy
3:34
Speaker 1: they were gonna take was the pass rusher for Oregon
3:36
Speaker 1: who's busted out all over the place, Dion Jordan's. So
3:39
Speaker 1: it was just a bit. Two thousand thirteen was a
3:41
Speaker 1: terrible draft that they were thinking about him too, but
3:45
Speaker 1: they didn't. They couldn't figure out how old he was.
3:47
Speaker 1: But you know that's the thing to Tony, would would
3:50
Speaker 1: you you still think joke was coming back and player
3:52
Speaker 1: left tackle? No on answering the question history Tony has
4:02
Speaker 1: ever taken up for more than Luke Joke. I always
4:05
Speaker 1: felt bad for him. That's why you wanted to be
4:10
Speaker 1: baby Bo so bad but it never worked out that
4:13
Speaker 1: I didn't want. I know, I wanted to be Luke Joke.
4:15
Speaker 1: I just wanted him to be end The full Our
4:18
Speaker 1: Guy from Monday Afternoon, available on the Jags Podcast Network
4:22
Speaker 1: and Jaguars dot Com. Now that for that has gone,
4:24
Speaker 1: what will that running back room look like? Before the
4:27
Speaker 1: final cut, the Jags had an eighth year player to
4:29
Speaker 1: second year players and two undrafted rookies. Veteran NFL assistant
4:34
Speaker 1: and Jack's running backs coach Terry Robiski explained the room Tuesday.
4:38
Speaker 1: It looks young, it looks energetic, it looks um looks
4:41
Speaker 1: like a bunch of fresh guys. You know, just a
4:43
Speaker 1: bunch of big guy guys that's uh, that's glaring to go.
4:47
Speaker 1: Just one opportunity they want. They wanted an opportunity, and
4:50
Speaker 1: I think they feel the opportunities there and a group
4:53
Speaker 1: of guys that, um, I think a group of guys
4:55
Speaker 1: that's ready to go meet the challenge, you know, go
4:57
Speaker 1: prove themselves. And like everybody in life wants an opportunity.
5:00
Speaker 1: I got a group of guys that's uh, that's got
5:02
Speaker 1: a shot. They've got an opportunity here, and it's uh,
5:04
Speaker 1: it's right before him. That veteran running back remaining is
5:07
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson. He was signed this year in free agency,
5:09
Speaker 1: and he enters his eighth NFL season. The previous seven
5:13
Speaker 1: of those were with Washington, where he racked up more
5:15
Speaker 1: receiving yards than rushing yards under head coach Ja Gruden.
5:19
Speaker 1: Of course, Gruden is now the offensive coordinator. Here, Thompson
5:22
Speaker 1: described how they found out for Net was waived and
5:25
Speaker 1: what that means for the rest of the running back room. Yeah,
5:27
Speaker 1: we were shocked about it. Um. He came in the
5:30
Speaker 1: room a couple of minutes before our team meeting and
5:32
Speaker 1: let us know that he had got released. We didn't
5:35
Speaker 1: believe it. We thought he was joking because you know,
5:37
Speaker 1: he laughs in jokes with us all the time. And
5:40
Speaker 1: it wasn't really until UH coach Maron said it in
5:43
Speaker 1: the team meeting that we really believed it. And um,
5:47
Speaker 1: you know, it was a shocker for everybody. The move
5:49
Speaker 1: was just different that day or a different yesterday at practice.
5:53
Speaker 1: But you know, it's the NFL and we just have
5:56
Speaker 1: to rock with the decisions that's being made. Have you
5:58
Speaker 1: seen some of the younger back from the roster with
6:01
Speaker 1: Divino Zig, Bill James Robinson and right well, just looking
6:04
Speaker 1: at their skill sets, they're guys that, in my opinion,
6:07
Speaker 1: I think they can do a little bit of everything.
6:10
Speaker 1: They're good past catchers, they can run rouss pretty good,
6:13
Speaker 1: and their vision is amazing. Especially James, I think he's
6:17
Speaker 1: one of those guys to me, in my opinion, probably
6:19
Speaker 1: has the best vision out of all of us. And Um,
6:23
Speaker 1: It's it's been great to see UM, a young guy
6:26
Speaker 1: like that be able to come in and be able
6:28
Speaker 1: to make the plays and hit the holes that he's
6:30
Speaker 1: been able to UM hit. And I'm excited. I'm excited
6:34
Speaker 1: for all the guys. UM. Nate he's the fastest running
6:38
Speaker 1: back that we have UM right now and uh so
6:41
Speaker 1: I'm excited for him and his future. And then Nate
6:44
Speaker 1: and Roquell and Zig they're both guys that were here
6:48
Speaker 1: last year and now you know, with Leona not being here,
6:51
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to get a lot more opportunities.
6:54
Speaker 1: And from what I saw from what Rock did last
6:58
Speaker 1: year and Zig, especially in last game against the Coats, UM,
7:01
Speaker 1: I think they have those guys have a lot of
7:03
Speaker 1: potential and you know we're gonna see here moving forward.
7:06
Speaker 1: We moved now to the trade of defensive end Unique
7:08
Speaker 1: and got Way to the Minnesota Vikings. The Jaguars received
7:11
Speaker 1: a second round pick in one and a conditional fifth
7:15
Speaker 1: round pick in the two draft. Defensive coordinator Todd Wash
7:19
Speaker 1: worked in got Way out the weeks prior to the
7:21
Speaker 1: twenty six teen draft and had a close relationship within
7:24
Speaker 1: got Way throughout his career in Jacksonville. Wash explained his
7:27
Speaker 1: feelings after the trade was made official and what they
7:30
Speaker 1: might have left on the table for number ninety one.
7:33
Speaker 1: You know, obviously I was excited for the player. You know,
7:35
Speaker 1: it's something that that that Yawn wanted. I'm excited for
7:38
Speaker 1: the club that uh, you know, there was a deal
7:41
Speaker 1: made where obviously we feel comfortable with that. You know.
7:43
Speaker 1: The biggest thing is, you know, I think it worked
7:45
Speaker 1: out for both sides. Obviously I have a strong, uh
7:48
Speaker 1: feelings for Yahn and uh, you know, having him for
7:51
Speaker 1: three or four years and that kind of stuff. But
7:53
Speaker 1: you know, I wish him nothing but the best, and uh,
7:56
Speaker 1: you know, both the organization and Yawn we all have
7:58
Speaker 1: to move on. What were some of the things that
8:00
Speaker 1: you were hoping to do or what sort of the
8:02
Speaker 1: feelings that you have on not being able to maybe
8:05
Speaker 1: feud fully utilize him like you were hoping you'd be
8:08
Speaker 1: able to. Well, I think a lot of it was,
8:10
Speaker 1: you know, we were going to move him around a
8:11
Speaker 1: little bit. John's a very intelligent football player. We were
8:15
Speaker 1: gonna do some things schematically obviously, just to move him around,
8:19
Speaker 1: get him on space, get him in edges. There wasn't
8:21
Speaker 1: really a, like you said, a situation where we could
8:23
Speaker 1: really get to that. But at the same time, you know,
8:26
Speaker 1: we've we've kind of built some things so if we
8:28
Speaker 1: have players that fit that role, we're able to, you know,
8:30
Speaker 1: get him in that role that best fits their skill
8:32
Speaker 1: set within God, wait, now go on. We all know,
8:35
Speaker 1: of course what Josh Allen can do. But now in
8:37
Speaker 1: her twenty first round pick Caleb and Chason, who Wash
8:41
Speaker 1: says will play defensive end exclusively at least at the start,
8:44
Speaker 1: but he still has plenty of versatility up front. I
8:47
Speaker 1: think he's a lot stronger than I anticipated, you know,
8:49
Speaker 1: when he gets down there and lines up on tight
8:51
Speaker 1: ends and stuff. Um, he's a lot stronger than I
8:53
Speaker 1: thought he was going to be. So we're really excited
8:55
Speaker 1: about that. The strength and he can play and we
8:57
Speaker 1: can get both of them on the field at the
8:59
Speaker 1: same time and a out of situations him and Josh.
9:01
Speaker 1: The biggest thing is you see him really show up
9:03
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher. You know, he's getting on edges. Um,
9:06
Speaker 1: we need to continue to work with some power and
9:08
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, but you see a natural pass rusher,
9:11
Speaker 1: which is really nice to see, especially as a rookie.
9:14
Speaker 1: And uh, I think there's a big upside not only
9:16
Speaker 1: in the run game, but as a pass rusher. Full
9:19
Speaker 1: media conference archives are available each week on Jaguars dot
9:22
Speaker 1: Com and of course, later in the week. Third years
9:24
Speaker 1: safety Ronnie Harrison was shipped to the Cleveland Browns for
9:28
Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick, and on Jaguars Happy Hour Thursday afternoon,
9:32
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagerman and I reacted to the news that broke
9:34
Speaker 1: an hour earlier. Ronnie Harrison gone though after only two
9:37
Speaker 1: years in the National Football League going into his third season.
9:40
Speaker 1: What are you surprised by this move at all? I
9:44
Speaker 1: wouldn't use the word surprised. You know. Here, here's the thing, JP,
9:49
Speaker 1: if you look at what's happened over the last couple
9:51
Speaker 1: of days with the Jaguars and you kind of marry
9:54
Speaker 1: that with what they've been talking about all throughout the
9:56
Speaker 1: off season, all through the preseason here, even though there
10:00
Speaker 1: hasn't been any games, but in training camp they've talked
10:03
Speaker 1: about at length about changing the culture. And changing the
10:07
Speaker 1: culture to me means that you want to get rid
10:09
Speaker 1: of some guys that you don't particularly like, that maybe
10:11
Speaker 1: you don't feel that they're strong in the locker room,
10:14
Speaker 1: that they're meant for your team. And then Ronnie Harrison
10:17
Speaker 1: also might have been a case of, look, we've got
10:20
Speaker 1: a lot of talent at that position. We feel really
10:23
Speaker 1: good about the other guys that we have. You know,
10:25
Speaker 1: let's face it, Ronnie Harrison was not a a premium
10:29
Speaker 1: starter for this football team, not anywhere close to being
10:32
Speaker 1: a premium starter. He was a a good player, Uh,
10:35
Speaker 1: but are there other guys that have a talent or
10:38
Speaker 1: a skill set that's close to him? Absolutely So, if
10:41
Speaker 1: you've got some other guys that are pretty close to you,
10:43
Speaker 1: you better have a lot of good culture about you.
10:46
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Ronnie Harrison that was the case.
10:48

14:10
Speaker 1: Jaguars All Access Television ors Thursday night at seven o'clock
14:14
Speaker 1: on Fox thirty with All the Moves earlier this week,
14:17
Speaker 1: that of course cranked up all the national pundits again,
14:20
Speaker 1: reviving the conversation of the Jaguars quote unquote tanking the
14:24
Speaker 1: season in order to improve draft position in one for
14:28
Speaker 1: a possible quarterback. The Jaguars starting quarterback is Gardner Minshew,
14:33
Speaker 1: and he has a lot on his plate to begin
14:35
Speaker 1: with this season, but he was asked by AP writer
14:37
Speaker 1: Mark Long about the idea of tanking inside the locker room.
14:41
Speaker 1: It's kind of renewed this whole national talk about is
14:44
Speaker 1: this team tanking? Do you guys? Is that disrespectful to
14:49
Speaker 1: you and the teammates that you have around you, that
14:52
Speaker 1: that the quality of talent you guys have, that you
14:54
Speaker 1: would think that anybody would look at this team and
14:56
Speaker 1: think that, Yeah, I mean I think that morning that
14:58
Speaker 1: it really just shows that people are watching us very closely.
15:01
Speaker 1: You know, I think people see it from Afar and
15:03
Speaker 1: see how they're losing their biggest names. But that's not
15:06
Speaker 1: how we feel. And I mean realistically, I know if
15:09
Speaker 1: we if we're taking you know, coach Moron, uh, Dave
15:14
Speaker 1: Caldwell and me are probably gonna be out of jobs.
15:17
Speaker 1: So I know, us three and a lot of those
15:19
Speaker 1: other guys in locker room are not gonna let that
15:21
Speaker 1: crap happen. Um, So I feel very confidently and everybody's
15:24
Speaker 1: desire to win, and uh, that's absolutely not anything that uh,
15:28
Speaker 1: you know, we envisioned happening. Good stuff from Gardner there
15:31
Speaker 1: and of course we all know Minshi was going to
15:33
Speaker 1: make the team this year, but there are some other
15:35
Speaker 1: decisions that might not be so easy this weekend and
15:39
Speaker 1: on Jack's drivetime Thursday morning, Ashlan Sullivan, John Oshan and
15:42
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton each picked a position group of interest when
15:45
Speaker 1: it comes to roster numbers one times more one times
15:50
Speaker 1: two head coach Doug marrone giving everyone a fair chance
15:54
Speaker 1: to make this team at the start of training camp,
15:56
Speaker 1: and now we are here. We find out Sunday at
15:58
Speaker 1: four o'clock who was going to make this final roster
16:02
Speaker 1: as we get into some roster math, breaking down some numbers,
16:05
Speaker 1: who's gonna make the active roster, who's going to make
16:07
Speaker 1: the practice squad? Going position by position on groups we
16:11
Speaker 1: think have a lot of competition. So, Brian, you have
16:14
Speaker 1: one of the most complicated ones this training camp because
16:17
Speaker 1: of all the shifting we have seen on the defensive line. Well,
16:20
Speaker 1: and I think that what you look at is versatility
16:24
Speaker 1: in a guy like to Want Smoot, and that really
16:26
Speaker 1: helps you with your numbers. But normally you're going to
16:28
Speaker 1: try to keep nine defensive alignment, and with the guy
16:33
Speaker 1: like Smoot who's big enough that you could put him
16:35
Speaker 1: down in some pass rushing situations and let him play
16:38
Speaker 1: that three technique, you know you could keep eight. So
16:42
Speaker 1: we'll say the defensive tackles are going to be Taven, Brian,
16:45
Speaker 1: Abrey Jones, Davon Hamilton, and Timmy Journegan, and then again
16:49
Speaker 1: Smoot can kind of swing between those two positions. At
16:53
Speaker 1: defensive end, it's a little tougher. You trade away in
16:55
Speaker 1: dog way and you don't have Laurenta McCrae, who was
16:58
Speaker 1: always an option for them in pass rushing situations. So
17:03
Speaker 1: obviously Josh Allen and Caleb and Jason are one and two.
17:06
Speaker 1: Smoot is three, and then Curtis marsh who is a
17:09
Speaker 1: guy who has worked with the linebackers and the defensive
17:13
Speaker 1: ends has passed rush ability, becomes that fourth defensive end.
17:18
Speaker 1: Now they could go for the ninth, which is something
17:20
Speaker 1: that they've tried to do around here. Most of the time,
17:22
Speaker 1: you need a rotation of big bodies on that interior
17:26
Speaker 1: of the line to be able to effectively stop the run,
17:29
Speaker 1: especially in this division with a guy like Derrick Henry
17:32
Speaker 1: coming downhill at you. Well, they probably have to look
17:36
Speaker 1: for that fifth defensive tackle because of the injuries and
17:39
Speaker 1: the opt outs and the attrition at the position. They
17:42
Speaker 1: go find somebody on the waiver wire, somebody maybe even
17:46
Speaker 1: if they're not completely sold, although I think their first
17:49
Speaker 1: four set and maybe you have to throw a draft
17:51
Speaker 1: pick in there somewhere, a late round pick to find
17:53
Speaker 1: a guy. But I think they've got a little versatility
17:56
Speaker 1: because of Smoot. I'm gonna say they keep eight John
17:59
Speaker 1: Osier backs. What do you got? This is a position
18:03
Speaker 1: that if all you do is look at experience, it's
18:05
Speaker 1: gonna scare you because they're going to keep a lot
18:08
Speaker 1: of youth on this I went with obviously C. J.
18:12
Speaker 1: Henderson and Trey Herndon the two starters. Hayden is the
18:19
Speaker 1: is the nickel, Josiah Scott the rookie. Uh the rookie
18:24
Speaker 1: plays behind Hayden at the nickel, I think, and then
18:26
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're talking more youth. You're talking
18:28
Speaker 1: Chris Claybrooks, You're talking Luke Barkoo, perhaps Tremaine Brock, Perry Nickerson.
18:35
Speaker 1: I think they probably go with Brock over Nickerson, and
18:37
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you're keeping seven. But but
18:39
Speaker 1: you know again, I think you could see a guy
18:42
Speaker 1: like Brock. As strange as it sounds, practice squad this
18:47
Speaker 1: year has no age limit, no experience limit, So some
18:53
Speaker 1: of these guys were talking about will be on the
18:55
Speaker 1: practice squad as guys they are able to bring up.
18:59
Speaker 1: And the fascinating about the practice squad this year, unlike
19:03
Speaker 1: past years when you left those guys exposed, they can
19:08
Speaker 1: now protect four practice squad guys a week, so they
19:13
Speaker 1: really are part of your team, and we really are
19:15
Speaker 1: I think talking about for the most part, very little
19:18
Speaker 1: movement on the practice squad and having more of a
19:21
Speaker 1: sixty nine man roster, which again means you're gonna have
19:25
Speaker 1: huge numbers of these positions in reality. Now, finally we
19:28
Speaker 1: are looking at wide receiver. The Jaguars keep six receivers,
19:32
Speaker 1: which would be the norm. They're gonna have to cut
19:34
Speaker 1: a good player. I'm looking at Terry Godwin here has
19:36
Speaker 1: been definitely impressive. Put in a reverse Terry of course,
19:40
Speaker 1: we've seen it on touchdowns. Josh Hammon has shown up
19:43
Speaker 1: at times during camp. You would think maybe there's a
19:46
Speaker 1: role with one of these guys being on that practice squad.
19:48
Speaker 1: We've talked about maybe even that reserve spot in the
19:50
Speaker 1: four spots. Well, how deep the wide receiver room is.
19:54
Speaker 1: With Chart and Connolly and cole Colin Johnson, I think
19:57
Speaker 1: we all agree that he probably most likely will make
19:59
Speaker 1: the team. That argument for one of those four spots
20:02
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, you could definitely make the argument
20:05
Speaker 1: that has to go to another position group that isn't
20:07
Speaker 1: as deep, because John Brian I think this wide receiver
20:11
Speaker 1: room is as deep as we've seen it in a
20:12
Speaker 1: long time. Jack's drivetime here is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and
20:16
Speaker 1: Friday mornings at nine o'clock on at Jaguars on social
20:19
Speaker 1: media and the team site and the archives of course
20:22
Speaker 1: are available on the Jags official podcast network. Yes, there's
20:25
Speaker 1: been plenty of change this week, and of course there
20:28
Speaker 1: is uncertainty outside the building about what the Jags can
20:31
Speaker 1: do this year, but inside the building, head coach Doug
20:34
Speaker 1: Marone addressed all that with a team Thursday and the
20:36
Speaker 1: final team meeting before roster cuts. On his radio show
20:39
Speaker 1: later that day, Maron told us what he told the
20:42
Speaker 1: team about what kind of players they want for this organization.
20:46
Speaker 1: We're really forming his football team for what we believe in.
20:49
Speaker 1: And I told the players that today. I said, it's
20:51
Speaker 1: very clear. I have a very clear vision of what
20:52
Speaker 1: we're looking for. One, we're looking for players that we
20:55
Speaker 1: can trust that are gonna do everything they can to
20:57
Speaker 1: make sure they're in a right position, do all the
20:59
Speaker 1: right things. That they know that when something's called, where
21:02
Speaker 1: it's offense, defensive, special teams, that you know, they're not worrying, Hey,
21:06
Speaker 1: is that that guy know what he's doing all right?
21:08
Speaker 1: They know that that guy is put into work. The
21:11
Speaker 1: second thing you know that we're looking for obviously, is
21:15
Speaker 1: you know, with our players this team first, which is
21:17
Speaker 1: probably the biggest thing. You know, we want to make
21:19
Speaker 1: sure in today's world, and we know it, there's a
21:21
Speaker 1: lot going on with branding, all this stuff, you know,
21:24
Speaker 1: players outside, endorsements, pictures here, whatever it may be. But
21:28
Speaker 1: be able to celebrate your teammates. Hey, listen, you know
21:31
Speaker 1: I tried to tell them today. I said, I've been
21:33
Speaker 1: through this a couple of times. And you know, when
21:36
Speaker 1: you win, everybody easily does well. Uh, contracts, um endorsements,
21:43
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, but the team needs to win.
21:45
Speaker 1: When the team doesn't win, those things don't occur. So
21:49
Speaker 1: we want guys that can celebrate with each other, that
21:52
Speaker 1: pulled through each other, that have a team first type mentality.
21:55
Speaker 1: The next two things are just coach ability, which I've
21:58
Speaker 1: talked about all the time and about Billy. You know,
22:00
Speaker 1: we want guys that are coachable, communicating with their coaches,
22:03
Speaker 1: you know, really working through it why we're doing this,
22:06
Speaker 1: you know, putting them in the best position and form
22:08
Speaker 1: that partnership. And then obviously the availability is a lot
22:12
Speaker 1: of it is, hey, are you doing the right things
22:13
Speaker 1: to stay on the field. Are you're getting treatment or
22:15
Speaker 1: you're taking care of your body and those things, and
22:17
Speaker 1: those are the four things that I'm looking for. And
22:19
Speaker 1: that's what I explained to the team um and re
22:22
Speaker 1: reiterated it to them today because you know, like you said,
22:25
Speaker 1: there is a lot of talk out there, but make
22:28
Speaker 1: no mistake about it's it's a very clear vision of
22:30
Speaker 1: what we're looking for. The Doug Moron Show airs each
