- 1:11Speaker 2: How's your bracket by the way, tournament?
- 1:14Speaker 1: Yeah? Great? Great? Was going on?
- 1:19Speaker 3: I have the only reason that I know that the
- 1:22Speaker 3: bracket exists right now and that there's a tournament going on.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Is because when I walked in, you had basketball on
- 1:28Speaker 3: your laptop and somebody came in and asked you. Dylan
- 1:33Speaker 3: y asked you how your bracket was doing. I was like, uh,
- 1:37Speaker 3: I don't. I don't like I like basketball. I like
- 1:40Speaker 3: watching it, but I just haven't watched enough of it
- 1:43Speaker 3: to actually pay attention and have an opinion.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest. What happened he walked in?
- 1:48Speaker 2: I said, what time does Rutgers play, and that, oh, they're.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Not in So, yeah, you're kind of needling. I was
- 1:53Speaker 3: not kind of That was I was getting after it
- 1:56Speaker 3: a little bit brutal.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I think it was. That was fair, it's expected what
- 2:00Speaker 1: And I.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Got an education because I found out that Rutgers actually
- 2:05Speaker 3: has two top end prospects for the NBA draft.
- 2:07Speaker 1: You fooled me, And.
- 2:08Speaker 3: How in the world can you have two top prospects
- 2:11Speaker 3: that are looking to be drafted in the top ten
- 2:14Speaker 3: and then you stinked where you're not in.
- 2:15Speaker 1: The I mean march madness.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Hey, you know we've had that around here, where we've
- 2:20Speaker 2: won an off season, You've had great players come in
- 2:22Speaker 2: and all of a sudden things get real.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. I get it. I get it,
- 2:28Speaker 1: but I perform.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Look, I would rather watch Just to be honest with you,
- 2:33Speaker 3: I would rather watch a spring football game than to
- 2:38Speaker 3: watch just a tournament game for me. But now once
- 2:41Speaker 3: it gets down to like the final game, I'll watch it,
- 2:45Speaker 3: But all of the other games leading up to it.
- 2:47Speaker 3: N the NFL, I just must watch TV for me.
- 2:52Speaker 3: I'm gonna watch every game that I possibly can. College
- 2:55Speaker 3: football occasionally, but the NFL to me is much watched
- 2:59Speaker 3: must watch TV.
- 3:00Speaker 2: I haven't watched Oops all season. I really just I
- 3:02Speaker 2: don't watch much of it. But these two days today
- 3:05Speaker 2: and tomorrow are great background TV days for me. Like
- 3:09Speaker 2: it's on, there's always a game, it's from noon until midnight,
- 3:13Speaker 2: there's basketball.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Golf has always been good background for me. It's a
- 3:16Speaker 3: good nap time, total total.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Good nap time.
- 3:20Speaker 3: On Sunday afternoon, you know, turn the golf on. They
- 3:23Speaker 3: start talking like Michael Roy talking real soft, and it's
- 3:28Speaker 3: just like I start getting heavy. Seriously, when I was
- 3:31Speaker 3: when I was playing football, uh, Sundays were like my
- 3:35Speaker 3: in the spring were my known nap time. I would
- 3:38Speaker 3: turn the golf on, then the lights close, the blinds
- 3:43Speaker 3: put on golf, and then after a big meal, turn
- 3:46Speaker 3: the volume down just a little bit where they started
- 3:48Speaker 3: talking on nice and soft it's.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Over, guaranteed, Nap, guaranteed Nap, that it was a guy's
- 3:55Speaker 1: name that did golf forever, Jim nance. He still does golf,
- 3:58Speaker 1: I mean still doesn't Who who was the one that
- 4:00Speaker 1: was doing the players? Oh that's uh, that's NBCU dan Uh.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I forget his last.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Did a good job? Oh yeah, they did a good
- 4:07Speaker 3: job entertaining tournament though.
- 4:10Speaker 1: By the way, did you go? I went Friday? I
- 4:13Speaker 1: was there Saturday.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Friday was the perfect day, light, wind, great beautifuct weather,
- 4:20Speaker 2: beautiful day. We had an event with a quarterback out there,
- 4:24Speaker 2: so that was fun. And then I think the coaches
- 4:26Speaker 2: were out there a bunch on Saturday, a bunch of them,
- 4:29Speaker 2: a chance to check it out, some of the guys
- 4:30Speaker 2: that are.
- 4:31Speaker 1: New in town. So a lot of Jaguar influence out there. Yeah. No,
- 4:35Speaker 1: it was good.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I got to chat with a lot of the coaches
- 4:37Speaker 3: on Saturday, didn't watch a ton of golf, and then
- 4:42Speaker 3: was going to go back out on Sunday, but the
- 4:44Speaker 3: weather was a little bit prohibitive.
- 4:46Speaker 2: And then a little bit a little bit. Yeah. Dan,
- 4:51Speaker 2: by the way, is the NBC announcer Dan Hicks.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Dan Hicks, not Dan Hicken Dan Hicks. Big difference, big difference.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Now it's perfect weekend.
- 5:01Speaker 2: They got it done, the playoff on Monday, and here
- 5:05Speaker 2: we are back to football.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Yeah, back to football. Yes.
- 5:07Speaker 3: And by the way, I had some great conversations with
- 5:10Speaker 3: the coaches and Anthony Campanilli, me and him. Man, we
- 5:14Speaker 3: chatted it up for I don't know, like an hour
- 5:17Speaker 3: talking ball football.
- 5:18Speaker 1: You know, it seems like a ball talking guy. He's great.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Love his energy, Love talking with him, talking with Liam,
- 5:26Speaker 3: talk with James basally was there, you know, shaking shock baby.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Imagine that that was good. I had a good time.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Love that Jaguars. You know, they had a big kind
- 5:38Speaker 2: of first run at free agency, nine guys with James
- 5:40Speaker 2: Gladstone here last week with us to go through most
- 5:43Speaker 2: of those guys, all those guys. They've since added another.
- 5:46Speaker 2: They added a tackle yesterday, Fred Johnson from the Eagles.
- 5:49Speaker 2: He's been with a couple of other teams in his
- 5:51Speaker 2: career as well. That just kind of continues a trend. Now,
- 5:54Speaker 2: four new offensive linemen in the free agency wave, and
- 5:58Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm gonna guess least more to come in
- 6:01Speaker 2: the draft, So retooling offense.
- 6:04Speaker 3: I don't think there's any doubt that there's more coming
- 6:07Speaker 3: in the draft, and I think I think it goes
- 6:10Speaker 3: to show you how in many ways that they overestimated
- 6:16Speaker 3: the value of the current offensive line over the last
- 6:18Speaker 3: couple of years.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Now you have, you know, a completely.
- 6:22Speaker 3: New regime come in, and that it has been the
- 6:26Speaker 3: focus of attention immediately from the free agency standpoint. And
- 6:32Speaker 3: like I said, I don't think they're done. I think
- 6:34Speaker 3: they still got work to do. The nice thing is
- 6:37Speaker 3: that what they've done so far will allow them to
- 6:41Speaker 3: draft the best available player and not force a pick
- 6:46Speaker 3: necessarily with that offensive line or really any position I
- 6:49Speaker 3: think for the most part, but I would expect them
- 6:52Speaker 3: in rounds one, two, or three to grab an offensive lineman.
- 6:57Speaker 3: And I you know, when's the last time that they
- 7:00Speaker 3: picked multiple offensive linemen in a draft. There may be
- 7:04Speaker 3: multiple in this draft, could be and so I think
- 7:08Speaker 3: it's going to be very exciting to watch. Look, I
- 7:11Speaker 3: like what they've done. I love Patrick, it's McCarry.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Carry and Hainesy.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I think they're they're quality players, and I think that
- 7:19Speaker 3: they can start. Fred Johnson, I think has been a
- 7:22Speaker 3: really good backup over his career and I think that
- 7:26Speaker 3: he will continue to be that for this football team.
- 7:28Speaker 3: I think he'll actually come in to compete, you know,
- 7:31Speaker 3: for a for a job.
- 7:32Speaker 1: But is he going to win it?
- 7:33Speaker 3: I don't know, but I can tell you this, I
- 7:36Speaker 3: think Fred Johnson's is a better backup than this football
- 7:39Speaker 3: team has had over the last couple of.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Years in the interior.
- 7:44Speaker 3: So the guys that have been with this football team, yes,
- 7:46Speaker 3: and are still under contract, you better be having one
- 7:50Speaker 3: hell of an offseason, I can tell you that. And
- 7:53Speaker 3: you bet you better get getting bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, better,
- 8:01Speaker 3: all the above. If you had better not leave any
- 8:03Speaker 3: stone unturned.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Right because it's time, it's changing.
- 8:07Speaker 3: There's no given positions. First year of the staff and
- 8:11Speaker 3: the change of an organization that that always goes out
- 8:14Speaker 3: to win.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Yeah, let's you know, we have this conversation with somebody
- 8:17Speaker 2: in the building draft pick.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I don't care, they don't care.
- 8:20Speaker 2: I mean, how many positions players are guaranteed locks on
- 8:26Speaker 2: this team right now?
- 8:28Speaker 3: I mean there's the contractually, there's some guys I think
- 8:31Speaker 3: that are not going anywhere I mean Trevor obviously with
- 8:34Speaker 3: the guaranteed money.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Josh Allen is obviously not going anywhere.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Trevor Walker little new contract, guaranteed money, Trayvon.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Is obviously not going anywhere.
- 8:46Speaker 3: You know, a couple guys that just recently were signed
- 8:48Speaker 3: last year, Eric Harmstead, the contract's prohibitive to where he's
- 8:52Speaker 3: going to be here.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Probably this year.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Gabe Davis probably in the same boat. You know, there
- 8:56Speaker 3: are contracts to where some guys can represent a cost savings.
- 9:00Speaker 3: There are some guys that will cost you a lot
- 9:02Speaker 3: of money to get rid of, and unless you have
- 9:06Speaker 3: a certifiable replacement at a very low cost, then you're
- 9:11Speaker 3: gonna end up keeping that player for a period of
- 9:13Speaker 3: time until that money goes down to be able to handle.
- 9:17Speaker 1: It as a hit.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Not an easy situation to be in when you have
- 9:22Speaker 3: players like that. And I think that's the one difference.
- 9:24Speaker 3: If you look at this year's free agent class and
- 9:27Speaker 3: you compared it to pass free agent classes, look at
- 9:31Speaker 3: the guaranteed money for real, look at the guaranteed money
- 9:35Speaker 3: that this draft class, Okay, excuse me, the draft class,
- 9:38Speaker 3: the free agent class that just got signed, and you
- 9:41Speaker 3: compare that to pass free agent classes that this team
- 9:45Speaker 3: is signed. The guaranteed money is dramatically different, dramatically different,
- 9:51Speaker 3: And I'm not exactly sure of the numbers, but I
- 9:54Speaker 3: think you could take all nine, maybe even ten, count
- 9:58Speaker 3: Fred Johnson all ten, and add up the guaranteed money
- 10:03Speaker 3: of those ten and it may equal what Eric Armstead
- 10:07Speaker 3: and Gabe Davis got last year.
- 10:10Speaker 1: It's possible, entirely possible, which goes back to what I've.
- 10:13Speaker 3: Been saying, and I think what James Gladstone believes in
- 10:18Speaker 3: is that the lifeblood of every franchise is the draft,
- 10:23Speaker 3: and you have to draft well. And if you look
- 10:26Speaker 3: at the past free agent activity this football team, you
- 10:30Speaker 3: can understand that this team has not done a good
- 10:32Speaker 3: enough job drafting because they've had to pay a lot
- 10:35Speaker 3: of money to supplement the deficiencies that this team has
- 10:39Speaker 3: had in the draft, and those.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Guys a lot of times aren't good either that in the past.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Right now, you're doubling down on it.
- 10:46Speaker 3: I mean, to be honest with you, I mean, look
- 10:48Speaker 3: at Gabe and Eric Armstead.
- 10:50Speaker 1: They produce.
- 10:51Speaker 3: I'm about trying to pick on them by any means,
- 10:53Speaker 3: and I believe that they can be productive this year,
- 10:55Speaker 3: but last year, did they produce to the level of
- 10:58Speaker 3: expectation of the contract? Simple answer and easy answer is no.
- 11:04Speaker 3: Can they get to that point this year?
- 11:06Speaker 1: I hope so.
- 11:08Speaker 3: But last year it didn't happen, and there's a lot
- 11:10Speaker 3: of reasons for that. It gave was hurt quite a bit.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Eric Armstead, in my opinion, was playing out of position.
- 11:16Speaker 3: You had a defensive coordinator who quite honestly didn't have
- 11:19Speaker 3: a clue. One of the worst coach football teams in
- 11:23Speaker 3: Jaguar's history last year by Ryan Nielsen. And I hope
- 11:28Speaker 3: all of that can change. But again, to go back
- 11:31Speaker 3: to it, you've got a draft. Well, you look at
- 11:34Speaker 3: the teams that are historically good year in and year out.
- 11:38Speaker 3: They're good because why they draft well every year, and
- 11:43Speaker 3: until you draft well.
- 11:45Speaker 1: You will not be there. That's right.
- 11:49Speaker 3: So here's hoping, okay, that this change and you've got
- 11:53Speaker 3: a new regime that you will start to pick better
- 11:57Speaker 3: in the draft to change the direction of this franchise.
- 12:02Speaker 1: That's my hope.
- 12:03Speaker 2: All right, let's come back in a minute and a
- 12:06Speaker 2: couple of minutes at least, Well, we'll get into the
- 12:08Speaker 2: draft this year, all right.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Pro Day season this year.
- 12:12Speaker 3: I saw that somebody was televising a pro day live today.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an NFL network thing.
- 12:18Speaker 3: They're going to different college pro days now, right, They've
- 12:21Speaker 3: done that for a number of years.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I mean, what are they desperate? Yeah? The people will
- 12:26Speaker 1: watch that, so I guess you know the reason. Oh no,
- 12:28Speaker 1: I wasn't watching.
- 12:29Speaker 3: I was walking down the hallway on my way here. Yeah,
- 12:32Speaker 3: they have it, and I saw and it must have
- 12:33Speaker 3: been an NFL network that was on one of the TVs,
- 12:35Speaker 3: and I saw that this pro day was being televised.
- 12:38Speaker 2: As soon as if it's a quarterback that's big, okay,
- 12:40Speaker 2: they'll show his workout, you know.
- 12:42Speaker 3: And and they all got shirts and everything like they
- 12:44Speaker 3: get at the combine.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Do let's go back in a moment.
- 12:47Speaker 2: We're untinted XLAM, Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube and
- 12:51Speaker 2: this is Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Dream Finders Homes.
- 13:01Speaker 4: I hope what they see is someone who cares. I
- 13:03Speaker 4: hope that shows in my play. I think it does,
- 13:05Speaker 4: because I do. I care a lot.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I care about my teammates, I care.
- 13:09Speaker 4: About the team. Those are the things that I want
- 13:11Speaker 4: to be evident in my play. They want to see
- 13:13Speaker 4: a guy finishing all the way of the whistle, picking
- 13:16Speaker 4: up his teammates first one.
- 13:17Speaker 5: There to give him.
- 13:18Speaker 4: If I'm not doing that, text me, shoot it, tweet me,
- 13:23Speaker 4: tell me I'm not doing it, because that's that stuff's
- 13:24Speaker 4: important to me.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Is Robert Hainsey brought it in a free agency of
- 13:30Speaker 2: the offensive line will define center for the Jags and
- 13:33Speaker 2: welcome back It's Happy Hour. Did he just encourage people
- 13:36Speaker 2: to text him, to tweet him, tweet him texts?
- 13:38Speaker 1: They're not going I don't know if that was smart
- 13:40Speaker 1: or not that they're gonna do it either. What but okay,
- 13:44Speaker 1: you're opening it up.
- 13:45Speaker 2: Jaguars Football presented by Fresh from Florida. It's always in Season.
- 13:49Speaker 2: JP Shadwick with Jeff Logeman. We're at the Hyundai Studios
- 13:53Speaker 2: at the Miller Electric Center on ten ten XL, Jaguars
- 13:56Speaker 2: dot Com and Jaguars YouTube for Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 14:00Speaker 1: It is Pro Day season.
- 14:02Speaker 3: And what would you rather watch Pro Day or NCAA Basketball?
- 14:08Speaker 2: It depends on who I'm watching on the Pro Day,
- 14:10Speaker 2: Like if it's a quarterback, right, we were chasing quarterback
- 14:14Speaker 2: back in twenty fourteen, it was we actually went and
- 14:17Speaker 2: covered Pro days. We went to Johnny Manziel's. We went
- 14:20Speaker 2: to Teddy Bridgewaters, we went to Blake Portals. They were
- 14:23Speaker 2: all televised. And you know when the quarterbacks throw in
- 14:29Speaker 2: a quarterback heavy top of the first right, they're gonna
- 14:33Speaker 2: see those on TV all the time, you know. So
- 14:35Speaker 2: I think it's just a matter of who it is now.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Johnny that day at A and M had like two
- 14:41Speaker 2: balls hit the ground.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Mike Evans was running.
- 14:43Speaker 2: For him, and like George Bush and Barbara Bush were
- 14:48Speaker 2: there on a golf It was a scene, man, I
- 14:50Speaker 2: remember that. So it was interesting television, I'm sure to watch.
- 14:54Speaker 2: But now there's one conference at least that has kind
- 14:58Speaker 2: of got it together because all the schools usually have
- 15:01Speaker 2: their own pro day.
- 15:02Speaker 3: You were telling me about this pretty unique. The Big
- 15:05Speaker 3: Twelve has pro days all together.
- 15:08Speaker 1: So all the schools.
- 15:09Speaker 3: How many schools in the Big Twelve, Well, at least twelve,
- 15:11Speaker 3: Well it's not twelve anymore, it's more than that.
- 15:14Speaker 1: It's probably fourteen.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Yeah, But they send their prospects all to Dallas, to
- 15:19Speaker 3: the Star where the Cowboys headquarters, and Jerry's no doubt
- 15:22Speaker 3: making a little bit of money on that guests and
- 15:23Speaker 3: so but it's March eighteenth through twenty first, different positions
- 15:28Speaker 3: each day. Okay, I think it's a brilliant idea because
- 15:30Speaker 3: all the scouts can just stay there and see all
- 15:34Speaker 3: the players in one place. Yeah, you save at least
- 15:36Speaker 3: NFL teams are saving on a lot of travel expenses.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Yeah, because a lot of these schools are you know,
- 15:42Speaker 2: they have to sec at least they schedule them where Okay,
- 15:45Speaker 2: you can hit Auburn one day, Alabama the next, and
- 15:48Speaker 2: then go to wherever the day after that, and it's
- 15:50Speaker 2: like a week or two where everybody's together.
- 15:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 15:53Speaker 3: And with the spawning of a lot of these things
- 15:55Speaker 3: like you're talking about, I think that that's going to
- 15:57Speaker 3: further minimize the combine world workout part, which is not
- 16:03Speaker 3: good for the NFL's ratings at the Combine. But you know,
- 16:07Speaker 3: if you're a player, where would you rather work out?
- 16:10Speaker 3: Would you rather work out in February at the NFL
- 16:13Speaker 3: Combine or would you rather wait until middle latter part
- 16:18Speaker 3: of March to give yourself a little bit more time
- 16:21Speaker 3: to get I guess you could say even better at
- 16:25Speaker 3: running or whatever else you've got to do. From a
- 16:27Speaker 3: drill standpoint, at the Pro day, you'd rather wait right,
- 16:31Speaker 3: I mean you give you a little bit more time
- 16:33Speaker 3: to prep. A lot of guys coming out of a
- 16:35Speaker 3: season might be nicked up, beat up a little bit,
- 16:38Speaker 3: and they've been playing football. The body needs a little
- 16:41Speaker 3: bit of time to recoup and recover, and then you've
- 16:43Speaker 3: got to train for physical testing. I mean, the march
- 16:46Speaker 3: aspect of that is so much better.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Now in the February combine, you're gonna get official forty
- 16:53Speaker 2: time numbers, like they have the computerized system and everything, right,
- 16:57Speaker 2: you get to take the ones.
- 16:58Speaker 1: At schools a little bit with a grain assault.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if you got your guys there, you know, yeah,
- 17:03Speaker 3: then that's different. Then you're trusting your guys.
- 17:05Speaker 2: For example, the Alabama one yesterday, okay, Jalen Milroe reportedly
- 17:11Speaker 2: ran a four to three okay, and I saw that.
- 17:15Speaker 2: I'm like, there is no way you don't think so well,
- 17:19Speaker 2: it comes out later most had him in the mid forest,
- 17:22Speaker 2: you know which pretty fast? So fast.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Was this guy bo Jackson?
- 17:27Speaker 3: I mean there might have been one guy that had
- 17:28Speaker 3: him at a four to three seven, And of course
- 17:30Speaker 3: that that grabs more JP, you know what I take it.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Come on, he's a good.
- 17:36Speaker 3: More clicks out of four to three seven in the
- 17:38Speaker 3: headline than you do four four five. And here's the
- 17:40Speaker 3: reality about Milrose O great athlete. Yes, and if a
- 17:47Speaker 3: team is going to consider drafting them, I hope that
- 17:49Speaker 3: you're willing to have a little patience.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Just like the Colt Therough the ac South Tennessee Titans.
- 17:57Speaker 1: He is the man for you. Not everybody is a
- 18:01Speaker 1: Jaalen Hurts. You know.
- 18:03Speaker 3: There's not a lot of quarterbacks that can make that
- 18:05Speaker 3: conversion from being a running quarterback in college to being
- 18:07Speaker 3: a passler, you know, and Jalen Hurts had a really
- 18:12Speaker 3: set of optimum circumstances to really grow into and there's
- 18:17Speaker 3: not many jobs that are going to be available that
- 18:22Speaker 3: are going to be like that the way it was
- 18:24Speaker 3: set up in Philly for him to be able to
- 18:28Speaker 3: grow when a running game and an offensive line was
- 18:31Speaker 3: so good. Most of the teams that are going to
- 18:34Speaker 3: in need of a quarterback don't have an offensive line
- 18:37Speaker 3: like that, they don't have a running game like that,
- 18:39Speaker 3: they don't have a team like that, and so the
- 18:42Speaker 3: quarterback's going to be expected to play quarterback right away.
- 18:45Speaker 3: You know, Jalen Hurts didn't have to do that so much.
- 18:48Speaker 3: They didn't lean on him as much. So Milrose is
- 18:51Speaker 3: a fine athlete, don't get me wrong. And he's had
- 18:53Speaker 3: games where he's been absolutely unstoppable. And I wish him well.
- 18:57Speaker 3: I wish him well.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I hope he can develop into that guy, but he's
- 19:01Speaker 1: he's a ways away. I wish he would have.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Stayed at Alabama for another year. And let me ask
- 19:05Speaker 3: you this question, as an Alabama alone, do you wish
- 19:09Speaker 3: that he had returned for another year?
- 19:12Speaker 2: There were moments, and I don't I'm not going to
- 19:14Speaker 2: speak for the whole fan base where I'm not up
- 19:16Speaker 2: there whatever.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Speaking for you. There was some frustration.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Around him, around him at times, and because it was
- 19:24Speaker 2: not as consistent as it could have been, or.
- 19:26Speaker 3: What did he get from a nil standpoint, I mean,
- 19:31Speaker 3: just out of curiosity, because I mean the reality is
- 19:33Speaker 3: is a college football is professional football now. And if
- 19:37Speaker 3: the University of Alabama felt like, hey, look, we can
- 19:40Speaker 3: spend the same amount of money and get a better,
- 19:44Speaker 3: better player, do you think they could have been the
- 19:47Speaker 3: ones that were saying, hey, look, you know we're probably
- 19:49Speaker 3: not gonna re up you for next year.
- 19:52Speaker 1: You might want to consider turning pro.
- 19:55Speaker 2: According to this article, I don't know if I trust
- 19:57Speaker 2: this website or whatever you know they're saying I had
- 20:02Speaker 2: a total innile of evaluation of one point six million. Okay,
- 20:07Speaker 2: I had a few different things.
- 20:09Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, you never know.
- 20:11Speaker 2: But then also, I mean, he's won some big games there, like, oh,
- 20:14Speaker 2: he's Auburn on the final play on this crazy throw
- 20:17Speaker 2: on a fourth down.
- 20:18Speaker 3: I mean, he's had moments where he's been brilliant, and
- 20:21Speaker 3: he's had moments that he has been.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Not nearly good enough.
- 20:25Speaker 3: And that just is a true, true sign of a
- 20:28Speaker 3: quarterback that's just not quite ready yet.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Cam Ward is the one that most everybody's mocking number
- 20:34Speaker 2: one of the Titans these days.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be interesting to watch. You know, have you
- 20:38Speaker 3: watched all of these guys yet? I have not watched
- 20:40Speaker 3: the quarterbacks yet, but I have. I've been watching.
- 20:44Speaker 1: I've just started this week, and so.
- 20:47Speaker 3: I'm about seven guys deep, and so every day it'll
- 20:51Speaker 3: be five to seven guys.
- 20:53Speaker 1: What are you looking at?
- 20:54Speaker 3: I watched the top seven guys in the draft, six
- 20:57Speaker 3: seven guys in the draft so far, which you know,
- 21:00Speaker 3: because I mean the Jaguars picking at five, I mean,
- 21:02Speaker 3: obviously that's kind of and that's where I really put
- 21:06Speaker 3: my concentration and energy on is with those guys. I
- 21:10Speaker 3: can tell you that from watching the guys that I
- 21:12Speaker 3: have watched so far. Travis Hunter, I don't know where
- 21:18Speaker 3: i'd play him.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I don't. And here's the thing.
- 21:22Speaker 3: I think he might be co number one overall pick
- 21:27Speaker 3: of this draft, and he may be number one overall
- 21:31Speaker 3: pick for some other reasons. The way that he plays
- 21:35Speaker 3: wide receiver, it's it's effortless. It's he's the most efficient
- 21:40Speaker 3: athlete that maybe I've ever watched play football on offense.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Ever, he doesn't.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Waste any steps and he and he makes it look
- 21:51Speaker 3: so easy when it's not easy. And the amount of
- 21:55Speaker 3: times that Shader Sanders is off target that Travis Hunt
- 22:00Speaker 3: or makes him look good. Right, And I you know,
- 22:03Speaker 3: because I don't watch a lot of college football, I
- 22:06Speaker 3: never really paid attention to that, but watching the film,
- 22:10Speaker 3: this guy makes Shdr Sanders look even better than what
- 22:13Speaker 3: he may be just because got great range. And then
- 22:17Speaker 3: once he gets the ball in his hands, the speed,
- 22:22Speaker 3: the efficiency, When I say efficiency efficiency, he's running fifty
- 22:26Speaker 3: yards down the field and a lot of times guys
- 22:29Speaker 3: have to ziggin zag a whole bunch of times to
- 22:31Speaker 3: get fifty yards. He's not having a zigginzag. He's very efficient, okay,
- 22:36Speaker 3: with his energy and his motions and his movements to
- 22:39Speaker 3: get to that fifty yards. One of the most efficient
- 22:42Speaker 3: guys I've ever watched film on.
- 22:44Speaker 2: And then he turns around and comes back and plays defense,
- 22:47Speaker 2: which is crazy every down.
- 22:49Speaker 3: I mean, you know, And because he has such great
- 22:52Speaker 3: ball skills is why he's a surefire candidate to play
- 22:58Speaker 3: wide receiver full time and to maybe dabbling defense vera.
- 23:03Speaker 2: A lot of people saying the other way because he
- 23:04Speaker 2: worked out as a corner, But you can put a
- 23:05Speaker 2: package at wide receiver.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Would you be comfortable here? And here's a here's a question.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Okay, give me a top Hall of Fame corner revs.
- 23:18Speaker 3: K Derell Revis. Give me a top Hall of Fame
- 23:20Speaker 3: wide receiver Jerry Rice. Who would you rather have, Jerry
- 23:23Speaker 3: Rice or Rivas Island.
- 23:26Speaker 2: I'd like to have both, of course if I could.
- 23:29Speaker 2: But if you had to pick one, it's an offensive league.
- 23:32Speaker 2: I think I'd like to score points. And but if
- 23:35Speaker 2: you have a shut down corner that shuts down half
- 23:38Speaker 2: your field, is he that?
- 23:39Speaker 1: I don't know?
- 23:40Speaker 3: If he's that, he's good. I think it's a great question.
- 23:43Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's a great question. Where is
- 23:45Speaker 3: he going to play?
- 23:46Speaker 2: I'll tell you we had on Westwood one. We had
- 23:50Speaker 2: the first game of the season two years ago, Colorado
- 23:54Speaker 2: at TCU, and it was how is this thing going
- 23:57Speaker 2: to work? All these transfers are coming in, all these
- 24:00Speaker 2: guys from Jackson State, should Sanders the quarterback, Travis Hunter
- 24:04Speaker 2: was gonna be the big guy at FSU.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Is he can he make the jump?
- 24:08Speaker 6: Oh?
- 24:09Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 24:09Speaker 2: It was do whatever he wants? Unbelieved he had an
- 24:12Speaker 2: interception in the game. I mean, it was a back
- 24:14Speaker 2: and forth ball game. Both teams are pretty good. TCU
- 24:17Speaker 2: was coming off their loss in the championship game. They
- 24:19Speaker 2: didn't have all their horses, but I mean it was
- 24:22Speaker 2: impressive what they did the first day, first day out,
- 24:25Speaker 2: at least it.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Comes I think also when from watching it, I went
- 24:29Speaker 3: into it with the expectation that there would be packages
- 24:34Speaker 3: for him on offense, and that these packages would be limited.
- 24:38Speaker 3: You know, maybe they keep them on the left side.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Maybe he's only a slot, maybe he's only an X.
- 24:44Speaker 3: They moved him all over the place. There was no
- 24:47Speaker 3: limitation on his learning curve for offense, which impressed the
- 24:52Speaker 3: hell out of me. So I think that's that's a
- 24:56Speaker 3: great question because everybody assumes he's going to play defensive
- 25:01Speaker 3: back and then he'll dabble in offense. I don't know
- 25:05Speaker 3: if that's necessarily true or not. I think that he
- 25:09Speaker 3: could be an offensive player that could dabble in defense.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Great player, winner, the speed, yeeah, he's good.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Anders ought to be thanking him all the time, all
- 25:28Speaker 3: the time. And so a little bit ago, I said,
- 25:31Speaker 3: my co number one picks who was the other one
- 25:34Speaker 3: is Abdul Carter Penn State number eleven, Penn State, which
- 25:40Speaker 3: that was Michael Parson's number.
- 25:41Speaker 1: There was a lot of people's numbers.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Yes, that's the number there that you wear when you're
- 25:46Speaker 2: like the seven at l s U exactly, lebar Arrington,
- 25:49Speaker 2: those all those guys who.
- 25:50Speaker 6: Are even stud stud line them up anywhere, uh, defensive end,
- 25:58Speaker 6: as a stand up spinner, as an inside linebacker.
- 26:04Speaker 3: I think if you'll remember, right JP, going back a
- 26:07Speaker 3: few years and that I said when Miles Garrett was
- 26:10Speaker 3: coming out that there's not many It's not very often
- 26:14Speaker 3: that a guy comes out that's just the physical freak
- 26:18Speaker 3: and Miles Garrett was one of those guys, right, and partly.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Because the length.
- 26:25Speaker 3: Now, look, this guy doesn't have the length, okay, but
- 26:29Speaker 3: he's got that freakish athletic ability that is very rare,
- 26:36Speaker 3: and his stamina is gosh. I would want to say,
- 26:41Speaker 3: it's comparable to the very inside linebacker that we have
- 26:45Speaker 3: on this football team, Foyer, who has I've said this before,
- 26:49Speaker 3: some of the greatest stamina or has the greatest stamina
- 26:53Speaker 3: of any player that arguably.
- 26:54Speaker 1: I've watched a duel.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Carter's got the same type of stamina on speed and
- 27:00Speaker 3: it's full speed. Doesn't seem to get tired, you know.
- 27:06Speaker 3: But here's the one thing that I will say about
- 27:08Speaker 3: like Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter, and these guys are
- 27:11Speaker 3: obviously just freaks. I don't know anything about their character.
- 27:18Speaker 3: I don't know anything about their intangibles. I just look
- 27:22Speaker 3: at the film. I don't know if if you know,
- 27:25Speaker 3: if they're dumb as a box of rocks or geniuses.
- 27:30Speaker 3: I don't know that. Uh So, when when I throw
- 27:34Speaker 3: an opinion out there, it's based on what I watch
- 27:37Speaker 3: on film, and that's it. And those two guys are
- 27:40Speaker 3: are at the top of the list. I think clearly
- 27:44Speaker 3: it's those two guys at the top. Everybody else is
- 27:48Speaker 3: fighting for third place. There you go the log even guarantee,
- 27:53Speaker 3: it's not a guarantee. I mean, it's only an opinion.
- 27:55Speaker 1: If Travis Hunter is there at five.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Day long over Graham over long, take them all day long.
- 28:07Speaker 3: He's got, he's got.
- 28:09Speaker 1: You put him on offense with Brian Thomas, with bt J.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Uh?
- 28:19Speaker 3: And then give him packages on defense. Uh, as you
- 28:24Speaker 3: can tell. I kind of liked the idea of him
- 28:26Speaker 3: being an offensive player versus a defensive.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Yeah, but this team needs cornerbacks too. Oh I know that,
- 28:33Speaker 1: I know that.
- 28:34Speaker 3: But uh yeah, it's it's a great debate.
- 28:37Speaker 2: I'd love to be in the conversation the room, listening
- 28:41Speaker 2: of the conversation when they fight over where they want
- 28:43Speaker 2: to play him. I would love the coordinate, love to see.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Going out put up your dukes.
- 28:51Speaker 3: I would love to see a A survey and the
- 28:57Speaker 3: only way that you would get to be a fit.
- 28:58Speaker 3: It was an anonymous survey of gms around the National
- 29:02Speaker 3: Football League and give you know, tell them, give me
- 29:05Speaker 3: which side of the ball that you think he deserves
- 29:09Speaker 3: or needs to be on that.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Love to see that that could change my team, right,
- 29:13Speaker 1: if you're stacked, that's what I'm saying.
- 29:14Speaker 3: I would love to see that the survey of all
- 29:16Speaker 3: thirty two, and I bet you it's closer than what
- 29:20Speaker 3: a lot of people were originally thinking on Travis Hunter.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Let's come back in a moment, and we got to
- 29:25Speaker 2: get to these rule change proposals.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Some of them are stupid, Yes, said it. Why you'll
- 29:32Speaker 1: find out? Why are you calling things stupid? Well? Have
- 29:35Speaker 1: you heard these? Yeah? Actually, okay, I don't know. Probably
- 29:39Speaker 1: agree with me. I gotta feeling you agree with me.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Are you calling? Are you calling Green Bay stupid?
- 29:46Speaker 3: I'm calling well, but I'm calling their proposals Okay, I
- 29:50Speaker 3: would never call it organization. Well, I mean the organizations
- 29:53Speaker 3: are the ones that are putting the proposals up.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Well, that's fine if that's what it says, it's what
- 29:57Speaker 1: it says. Okay, you are calling stupid. In a moment,
- 30:03Speaker 1: it's Jaguars Happy hour.
- 30:14Speaker 7: We were talking about, you know, just building the culture,
- 30:16Speaker 7: you know, and being a cornerstone and that that that rebuilding.
- 30:21Speaker 7: I've always wanted to be a guy to you know,
- 30:24Speaker 7: be known for that. You know, be known for a
- 30:26Speaker 7: culture and be known to, you know, change culture. So
- 30:30Speaker 7: I love a good competition and love a good challenge.
- 30:34Speaker 7: So for like, this was the perfect place for me
- 30:37Speaker 7: to go out there and show that I belong in
- 30:39Speaker 7: the NFL and belonging to be as one of you know,
- 30:43Speaker 7: known as one of the guys that you know, changed
- 30:44Speaker 7: the culture.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Jordan Lewis Corner most likely a Nickel welcome back. It's
- 30:51Speaker 2: Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shatter, Jeff Logman or at the
- 30:54Speaker 2: Hyundai studios inside the Miller Electric Center.
- 30:57Speaker 1: He's going to be both by the way, you know,
- 30:59Speaker 1: moving around. H Yeah, I think he.
- 31:01Speaker 3: I think Jordan Lewis is going to be Nickel and corner.
- 31:06Speaker 3: What I love about him he comes in, He's got
- 31:09Speaker 3: sweatshirt on that says grind grind mode. Okay, I'm all
- 31:14Speaker 3: for that. You know, it doesn't come in you know, fancy,
- 31:18Speaker 3: you didn't want thats sunglasses and all that. He's here
- 31:21Speaker 3: to be a pro and he has been a pros pro.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Look.
- 31:27Speaker 3: The one thing I think that this regime is doing
- 31:30Speaker 3: a really good job of is vetting guys, you know,
- 31:34Speaker 3: not bringing I'm trying to think of the James Gladstone
- 31:37Speaker 3: terminology to not bring the wrong types into the ecosystem. Okay,
- 31:45Speaker 3: the floor of the roster and elevating the room of
- 31:49Speaker 3: the ecosystem by them just being them them.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Yeah, they're intangibly rich, so they just have to be themselves.
- 31:55Speaker 1: I love it. I love the way the way he talks.
- 31:57Speaker 1: That's right.
- 31:58Speaker 3: But I mean the best part about it is that
- 31:59Speaker 3: you got to have that belief and you got to
- 32:01Speaker 3: stick to it. And he's sticking to it. But I
- 32:03Speaker 3: like Jordans say, he's gonna play nickel and he will
- 32:06Speaker 3: play corner. He will play both.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Love that. Daly's play schedule getting busy. What do we got?

- 32:32Speaker 3: Wonder if Old Dominion is from Virginia. The reason I
- 32:38Speaker 3: asked that is, I mean that's I mean, that's actually
- 32:40Speaker 3: a university in Virginia's University Norfolk, Virginia I don't think
- 32:45Speaker 3: it's in Norfolk.
- 32:47Speaker 1: I bet you it is. You think it is. I
- 32:49Speaker 1: think we're gonna find out.
- 32:50Speaker 2: I guess we will. I'm searching Old Oh they're from
- 32:53Speaker 2: from Nashville. Old Dominion.
- 32:55Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody's from Nashville. They may have gotten together in Nashville,
- 33:00Speaker 3: but nobody's from Nashville. They chosen because it's the nickname
- 33:04Speaker 3: for the US for the members of the group have
- 33:06Speaker 3: links to Virginia.
- 33:06Speaker 1: There you go.
- 33:09Speaker 2: And this is great radio because I'm googling on the air.
- 33:12Speaker 2: It's university Old Dominion. It's in Norfolk. Okay, thank you.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Show you what I know.
- 33:18Speaker 1: I don't even know from there, man, I know this
- 33:20Speaker 1: what the heck?
- 33:21Speaker 3: All I know is at Norfolk is a great navy town,
- 33:25Speaker 3: it is. And a little bit to the south of
- 33:28Speaker 3: there's got a great place called Virginia Beach. Yes, and
- 33:32Speaker 3: then Sandbridge Beach, a little bit south of Virginia. You
- 33:35Speaker 3: spent some time over there, did you have it? As
- 33:37Speaker 3: a kid, We used to vacation there. It was the
- 33:40Speaker 3: middle of nowhere, lots of sand, lots of sun.
- 33:46Speaker 2: It's time to get into these rule change proposals. This
- 33:50Speaker 2: is the time of year we're closing in on the
- 33:52Speaker 2: NFL annual meeting.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Known as the Owner's Meetings. That's at the end of
- 33:55Speaker 1: the month.
- 33:57Speaker 2: So there are rule change proposals, a rule for BiLaw proposals,
- 34:01Speaker 2: and club resolution proposals.
- 34:03Speaker 1: There are five eight in total. Okay, what do you
- 34:06Speaker 1: got we'll go quick. This is by Detroit.
- 34:08Speaker 2: They want to eliminate an automatic first down as a
- 34:10Speaker 2: penalty imposed for defensive holding an illegal contact.
- 34:13Speaker 1: I like that. I'm okay with that. We're a defensive guy.
- 34:16Speaker 1: You would like that?
- 34:17Speaker 5: Well?
- 34:17Speaker 3: I mean, look, you know it's it's been such an
- 34:20Speaker 3: offensive slanted way, you know, let them.
- 34:25Speaker 1: I think that's okay.
- 34:26Speaker 2: But then there's no penalty for holding a guy. You're
- 34:29Speaker 2: just gonna get holding all the time. Why don't you
- 34:31Speaker 2: just grab?
- 34:32Speaker 1: What would it be?
- 34:34Speaker 3: It would be a yardage, right, I mean, it's okay,
- 34:36Speaker 3: but it's still if it's not an automatic first down
- 34:39Speaker 3: what they're proposing, then it would be a certain amount
- 34:41Speaker 3: of yardage.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Correct. I don't know there's that proposal that that's that's
- 34:45Speaker 1: the proposal. Okay, what do you got? What else? You got? All? Right? Next?
- 34:48Speaker 1: Green Bay. Basically, they want to eliminate the push.
- 34:51Speaker 3: Play and green Bay needs to shut up, I mean seriously,
- 34:56Speaker 3: and the keeper stop the play, okay, stop complaining about
- 35:01Speaker 3: it being a play that gets people hurt. And somebody, actually,
- 35:06Speaker 3: one of the national analysts puts this out the other day,
- 35:08Speaker 3: and somebody responded with your video of you describing how
- 35:13Speaker 3: to stop it when the Jaguars stopped it twice against
- 35:15Speaker 3: the Eagles.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Got to beat the center up. That's it. You gotta win.
- 35:21Speaker 3: And if you look at the Eagles percentage of wins
- 35:26Speaker 3: from new center versus Kelsey the old center, the percentage
- 35:32Speaker 3: of wins dropped a little bit, I believe, imagine that. Yes,
- 35:35Speaker 3: what else you got till Bay needs the man up?
- 35:38Speaker 1: Come on.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Philadelphia wants to align the postseason and regular season overtime rules.
- 35:44Speaker 2: They want both teams with an opportunity to possess the
- 35:46Speaker 2: ball regardless of the first possession outcome, and a fifteen
- 35:50Speaker 2: minute overtime in the in the regular.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Season, No, leave it the way it is.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Okay, So you like the postseason rule being different, I
- 35:59Speaker 2: do minutes both teams get the ball.
- 36:01Speaker 3: I do not not regular season it's the regular season
- 36:05Speaker 3: is a grind. Don't need to add potentially, because here's
- 36:09Speaker 3: The reality is that coaches will coach differently if they
- 36:12Speaker 3: know that they have a guaranteed possession in overtime.
- 36:15Speaker 1: And excuse me, in the regular season. So no, I
- 36:20Speaker 1: don't like that. And by the way, defense is allowed
- 36:23Speaker 1: to play defense.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Yeah, you can play defense. You can get a team
- 36:27Speaker 2: stopped or hold them to a field goal.
- 36:29Speaker 3: I don't why are they this proposal. I don't know
- 36:32Speaker 3: what else you got. Those are the three playing rule proposals.
- 36:35Speaker 3: There are two club bylaw proposals. They're both by Detroit.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Detroit's been busy.
- 36:42Speaker 2: They want to amend the current playoff seating FORMATT to
- 36:45Speaker 2: allow wild card teams to be seated higher than division
- 36:48Speaker 2: champions if the wildcard team has a better regular season record.
- 36:53Speaker 1: I do not like this at all. I don't like
- 36:55Speaker 1: that at all. Either. Division championships matter.
- 36:57Speaker 3: It totally matters, and it makes end of the season
- 37:01Speaker 3: games interesting. Okay, So Detroit is just trying to capitalize
- 37:07Speaker 3: on what could have been for then this past year.
- 37:10Speaker 3: If Minnesota had captured the division title, then Detroit would
- 37:14Speaker 3: not have had home field advantage. Correct, But Detroit won
- 37:19Speaker 3: They won a division, Yeah, because they could have lost
- 37:22Speaker 3: the division and then been a non top seed in
- 37:27Speaker 3: the NFC, and they wouldn't have had home games. They
- 37:30Speaker 3: would have gone to a team that had a lesser
- 37:32Speaker 3: record than them. Correct, Well, I don't like that because
- 37:35Speaker 3: you have to have the importance of winning the divisions.
- 37:39Speaker 3: It makes the game and the games at the end
- 37:41Speaker 3: of the year meaningful, totally meaningful.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Detroit was fifteen to two to your point, Minnesota fourteen
- 37:47Speaker 2: and three. Correct, But if Minnesota doesn't like that, you know, don't.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Lose three games. Guess what?
- 37:53Speaker 3: Well, but it was proposed by Detroit. I know, I'm
- 37:55Speaker 3: just saying, which they won the division. So I mean
- 37:58Speaker 3: like you would have thought that Minnesota would have propose that.
- 38:01Speaker 2: Right in general, That's what I'm saying. If you don't
- 38:03Speaker 2: like it as a well, play better, play better when
- 38:06Speaker 2: you know when.
- 38:07Speaker 3: Your division not that That's that's the beauty of saying
- 38:10Speaker 3: it's not that hard that of having divisions?
- 38:12Speaker 1: Is it?
- 38:13Speaker 3: Is it fair at the end of the day, Is
- 38:16Speaker 3: it fair to have a Minnesota Vikings team that was
- 38:18Speaker 3: fourteen and three that had to go on a road
- 38:21Speaker 3: Who do they play in.
- 38:22Speaker 1: The first round? Remember how to Curio?
- 38:25Speaker 3: They played the uh and Rams had a lesser record
- 38:30Speaker 3: and they got they got whooped.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Ye, so well yeah, sorry.
- 38:37Speaker 3: I'd like division games. I'd like the importance of division games,
- 38:41Speaker 3: and you can make the schedule, particularly at the end
- 38:44Speaker 3: of year, more meaningful, as the NFL has done over
- 38:48Speaker 3: the last couple of years by having division matchups, And
- 38:52Speaker 3: if you take that away, then I think it lessens
- 38:55Speaker 3: the value of the end of the schedule and it
- 38:57Speaker 3: lessens the value of the division titles. Detroit can stick
- 39:02Speaker 3: it up the word something wow, okay, Detroit, I agree
- 39:05Speaker 3: with you. Another Detroit went on the BiLaw proposal. This
- 39:09Speaker 3: is to exclude from the ninety player limit a player
- 39:12Speaker 3: placed unreserve injured before or on the day of the
- 39:16Speaker 3: roster reduction of fifty three, unless such a player is
- 39:19Speaker 3: designated for returns. It's basically just like a roster management
- 39:23Speaker 3: into the preseason thing.
- 39:26Speaker 1: So I don't know. Whatever.
- 39:27Speaker 2: We all about more guys being available, that's fine. They're
- 39:30Speaker 2: kind of going that way.
- 39:31Speaker 3: So they're trying to put guys on essentially on IR
- 39:34Speaker 3: before the final cutdowns and still have the capability of
- 39:37Speaker 3: bringing them back to the active RUSS.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of the idea. Whatever, It's fine. I'm
- 39:43Speaker 1: okay either way. On that one.
- 39:45Speaker 3: It doesn't bother me if you limit it, you know,
- 39:47Speaker 3: because you don't want them stashing a bunch of guys
- 39:49Speaker 3: on IR and then all of a sudden, you know,
- 39:53Speaker 3: you don't have other teams that can pluck guys off
- 39:55Speaker 3: of that roster.
- 39:57Speaker 1: I don't know about that. It's got to be limited
- 40:00Speaker 1: in some fashion.
- 40:01Speaker 2: We got three club resolution proposals to get through quickly
- 40:04Speaker 2: here by Pittsburgh. They want to permit clubs during the
- 40:07Speaker 2: two day negotiation period before free agency to have one
- 40:10Speaker 2: video or phone call with a prospective free agent and
- 40:12Speaker 2: his agent, a free agent and the player agent, and
- 40:16Speaker 2: permit clubs to arrange for the players travel upon agreeing
- 40:19Speaker 2: to terms with an unrestricted free agent, so they cannot
- 40:22Speaker 2: talk to the player right now until the start of
- 40:25Speaker 2: the league year. Those two days, they have to talk
- 40:27Speaker 2: technically with the agent during the legal tampering period. That's
- 40:30Speaker 2: all they want to do is to legitimize talking to
- 40:34Speaker 2: the player during the legal tampering period, which I'm totally
- 40:37Speaker 2: okay with.
- 40:38Speaker 1: It's you know, but then again.
- 40:40Speaker 3: If you allow that to happen, then all of a sudden,
- 40:43Speaker 3: the illegal tampering period, because there's already illegal tampering going
- 40:47Speaker 3: on before the illegal tampering period.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Now there's going to be even more illegal.
- 40:52Speaker 3: Tampering prior to the illegal tampering period, which you'll be
- 40:54Speaker 3: able to allow to talk to the player. But then
- 40:56Speaker 3: teams will go ahead and try to talk to the
- 40:58Speaker 3: player before the league tampering period if they're now allowed
- 41:01Speaker 3: to talk to the club during that period, not this team.
- 41:03Speaker 2: You see what I mean, It just doesn't end. I mean,
- 41:05Speaker 2: it's just it's a centralest thing. Come on, all right,
- 41:07Speaker 2: next one, we've got seven teams. Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Vegas, Minnesota, Philly,
- 41:13Speaker 2: and Washington are proposing to permit clubs to prepare kicking balls,
- 41:17Speaker 2: the k balls before game day, similar to what they
- 41:20Speaker 2: can do for game fo. Well, they used to allow
- 41:22Speaker 2: them to do that, but then they were like put
- 41:23Speaker 2: them in dryers and stuff.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Right, Well, they were yees putting putting them in dryers.
- 41:29Speaker 3: They were rubbing the balls down, they were pressing them essentially,
- 41:32Speaker 3: trying to make the balls fatter, to make them more bouncy,
- 41:38Speaker 3: you know, to get more distance than everything else.
- 41:41Speaker 1: I'm okay with that.
- 41:42Speaker 3: Let them let them doctor them up, you know, as
- 41:45Speaker 3: long as you know as long as each team gets
- 41:47Speaker 3: to doctor the balls, let them doctor the balls better
- 41:50Speaker 3: accuracy on field goals, longer field goals.
- 41:53Speaker 1: I'm all for it.
- 41:54Speaker 2: And then one more that's really not a huge deal.
- 41:56Speaker 2: Washington wants to permit clubs that may qualify for the
- 41:59Speaker 2: postseason to get scouting credentials for two consecutive games played
- 42:03Speaker 2: by a potential postseason opponent in the final two weeks
- 42:06Speaker 2: of the regular season. So this is more just kind
- 42:08Speaker 2: of deep, deep football stuff. There you go, we're back
- 42:12Speaker 2: in a moment. Did you hate all these?
- 42:14Speaker 1: Did you? I think we're kind of fitting. I mean,
- 42:16Speaker 1: I'm okay with some. I don't like the playoff seating change,
- 42:20Speaker 1: like keep it as Yeah, that's come on.
- 42:22Speaker 2: And by the way, why don't we have to have
- 42:24Speaker 2: lasers do the first down this year?
- 42:26Speaker 1: Like what's wrong with the chain game?
- 42:28Speaker 3: You're gonna try that out instead of so are we're
- 42:30Speaker 3: going to eliminate the chain game?
- 42:31Speaker 1: No, they're still there as a backup. You sure, that's
- 42:34Speaker 1: what they said. Okay, I think that makes sense.
- 42:37Speaker 3: Come on, if technology is there, then let's utilize it.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Let's come back in a moment, hold that thought. This
- 42:43Speaker 1: is Jaguars happy hour.
- 42:54Speaker 5: We've done a lot of really successful things. It's out
- 42:57Speaker 5: every tool in the bag that you needed to successful.
- 43:01Speaker 5: So I told him, like, I'm here to help you
- 43:02Speaker 5: as much as as much as you'd like. I like
- 43:05Speaker 5: to think to my familiarity with the system and concepts
- 43:09Speaker 5: that we're gonna run and the way to operate. I
- 43:10Speaker 5: feel like that's gonna be beneficial for Trevor in the
- 43:13Speaker 5: whole room. And uh, I can't wait to get started.
- 43:17Speaker 2: That is the voice of Nick Mullens, free agent quarterback
- 43:21Speaker 2: signed by the Jaguars.
- 43:22Speaker 1: Welcome back.
- 43:23Speaker 2: It is Jaguars Happy Hour from the Hundai Studios Miller
- 43:26Speaker 2: Electric Center, JP Shatwick with Jeff Vlagovan on ten TENXL,
- 43:29Speaker 2: Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube and Jaguars Happy Hour
- 43:33Speaker 2: is presented by Dreamfinders Homes, official homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Good Birmingham area guy, Nick Mullins is that right, where
- 43:41Speaker 1: do you go to?
- 43:42Speaker 2: Spain Park High School? Which didn't exist when I was
- 43:45Speaker 2: in high school? That's how old I am, Okay down
- 43:48Speaker 2: south kind of near Hoover and then he went to
- 43:50Speaker 2: Southern miss Okay. I think you get committed to like
- 43:53Speaker 2: UAB and then just changed went to Southern miss.
- 43:56Speaker 1: I've got a little money under the table and changed
- 43:58Speaker 1: his mind. I don't know what's going on down.
- 44:00Speaker 2: There whatever, but I mean the guy's been around, he's
- 44:05Speaker 2: had some starts in the league.
- 44:07Speaker 3: He was even under the table and he was playing
- 44:09Speaker 3: or was it over the table? Oh, I think it
- 44:10Speaker 3: was under back then, you know, if you know, you know.
- 44:14Speaker 3: I think it's a great I don't say great. It's
- 44:17Speaker 3: a good thing that you sign a quarterback that has
- 44:19Speaker 3: familiarity with the system. I think it helps the room.
- 44:23Speaker 3: I think it helps the roster as a whole when
- 44:25Speaker 3: you have a quarterback and that doesn't necessarily, like I said,
- 44:28Speaker 3: not necessarily the starter, but when you're entering a new
- 44:32Speaker 3: era of a new system, to help that along.
- 44:35Speaker 1: And so I like that.
- 44:38Speaker 3: Good job by Liam and James and Udinsky to bring
- 44:43Speaker 3: in a guy that's got that familiarity.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Yeah the last three years with Minnesota and yeah, I
- 44:51Speaker 2: think it's gonna be interesting. I've kind of I was
- 44:53Speaker 2: asking this question kind of off the record with some
- 44:56Speaker 2: guys coaches, and so when you when you have Liam,
- 45:03Speaker 2: Khane and Udinsky coming in, right, is the terminology now
- 45:08Speaker 2: the same as it was in Tampa. Is the terminology
- 45:13Speaker 2: the same as it was in Minnesota? Or do you
- 45:18Speaker 2: create a completely new language so that nobody knows what
- 45:23Speaker 2: your audibles are? Terminology?
- 45:26Speaker 1: That's it, right, right? So to what he can use
- 45:29Speaker 1: Rosetta stone and figure out what you're doing.
- 45:32Speaker 3: The whole new language, well, I mean it's you know,
- 45:35Speaker 3: it's I think it's interesting. And that's a and from
- 45:38Speaker 3: what I understand that they have completed a new language
- 45:42Speaker 3: for it. Okay, so I'm sure some of the concepts
- 45:45Speaker 3: will be the same, but I'm from what I understand
- 45:47Speaker 3: and I've been told, is that the language is different.
- 45:51Speaker 3: Now how different is probably there's different degrees than all
- 45:55Speaker 3: of that. But I and look, I hope that and
- 46:00Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the what amount of homework Trevor
- 46:04Speaker 3: can do now you know they have all these restrictions
- 46:07Speaker 3: much I mean, you know, they show up in the
- 46:09Speaker 3: buildings where he can be, what he can do, what
- 46:11Speaker 3: he can get, you know, which I think is just
- 46:14Speaker 3: a it's an archaic rule.
- 46:17Speaker 1: Does you make any sense? You should you would propose that, Hey, let's.
- 46:21Speaker 3: Get absolutely absolutely, I mean some of the and look,
- 46:26Speaker 3: I understand why some of the rules have been in
- 46:30Speaker 3: place because of the union negotiated to limit the amount
- 46:34Speaker 3: of time that the players were getting asked to be
- 46:37Speaker 3: at the building. But the last time I checked, I mean,
- 46:41Speaker 3: just like in this football team's case, Okay, you've got
- 46:44Speaker 3: a quarter billion dollars committed to Trevor in contract. I mean,
- 46:50Speaker 3: shouldn't that quarterback be allowed to maybe have meetings with
- 46:55Speaker 3: coaches and learn the system. So I think that's the
- 46:59Speaker 3: part why the rules in place, that some might make
- 47:02Speaker 3: that more than just a hey, if you want to come,
- 47:07Speaker 3: They would make it mandatory, which I mean you could
- 47:11Speaker 3: argue that if you're paying tw hundred and fifty million dollars,
- 47:13Speaker 3: it should be mandatory. Look, it's professional football, Okay, this
- 47:18Speaker 3: is not college football where we're trying. These guys got
- 47:23Speaker 3: classes to go to. Okay, let the players come in
- 47:30Speaker 3: and work out in the building. Let them talk with
- 47:33Speaker 3: the coaches, especially when you have new regimes. I mean,
- 47:38Speaker 3: it makes no sense that you wouldn't encourage that stuff.
- 47:42Speaker 3: I think that the league obviously would like to see
- 47:46Speaker 3: that change. The Union, for whatever reason, holds on to
- 47:50Speaker 3: it like it's some piece of pie that can't be
- 47:55Speaker 3: given up without something great in return. Look, if it's
- 47:59Speaker 3: making the game better, then do it.
- 48:02Speaker 1: But all right, you were a player REP, You're a VP,
- 48:05Speaker 1: weren't you the Union?
- 48:07Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think this rule is dumb when you played,
- 48:10Speaker 3: would you want this rule in place?
- 48:13Speaker 1: Absolutely?
- 48:14Speaker 3: I think there needs to be more access from the
- 48:17Speaker 3: players in the facility and the coaches than what is
- 48:21Speaker 3: what is today, you know. And I'm not saying that
- 48:24Speaker 3: they need to like start coming into work in February.
- 48:28Speaker 3: I'm not saying that, but I mean this restriction that
- 48:32Speaker 3: they have in place about limited exposure with the coaches
- 48:35Speaker 3: and everything is just it's ridiculous.
- 48:37Speaker 2: Well, they have the rule in where if there is
- 48:39Speaker 2: a head coaching change, you get two extra weeks of
- 48:42Speaker 2: offseason program correct April seventh.
- 48:44Speaker 3: Yeah, you get one extra week essentially of OTAs. Yeah,
- 48:49Speaker 3: basically on top.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Of that, right yeah. Yeah.
- 48:51Speaker 3: I mean look, I mean, if it's me, I want
- 48:56Speaker 3: to have my quarterbacks and someone guys getting the language
- 49:01Speaker 3: in March if possible. I mean, you know, look for
- 49:07Speaker 3: every team, I think that once their season ends ends,
- 49:11Speaker 3: there needs to be a period of time to where okay,
- 49:14Speaker 3: look can't do anything. And I'm for that, but I mean, yeah,
- 49:20Speaker 3: certain teams that were done the first week of January, right, yeah,
- 49:25Speaker 3: we were one of those, Okay, and now all of
- 49:26Speaker 3: a sudden, Okay, all of January to the first week
- 49:30Speaker 3: of February to the first week of March to the
- 49:32Speaker 3: first week of April. That's three months of essentially, Oh no,
- 49:37Speaker 3: you can't do anything with the coaches.
- 49:39Speaker 1: You can't do any kind of.
- 49:41Speaker 3: Organized workouts or anything like that. Like I want my
- 49:44Speaker 3: guys in the building being supervised under professionals, okay, instead
- 49:51Speaker 3: of having to be a gym rat somewhere else.
- 49:53Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't make any sense. Logs, we made
- 49:56Speaker 1: it through another hour.
- 49:59Speaker 3: I might again old and cranky or yes, I mean
- 50:01Speaker 3: you're getting very old. And that's not old and cranky though,
- 50:04Speaker 3: is it.
- 50:05Speaker 1: It's old? I'll say that.
- 50:08Speaker 3: I mean shouldn't I mean, shouldn't a quarterback be able
- 50:11Speaker 3: to get a playbook and meet with the coach?
- 50:14Speaker 1: Jeff Logerman, I'm J. P. Shadwick. Thanks her entire crewch
- 50:18Speaker 1: so fortunate.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Oh, Brent Reab, David Joe brook Hoffey, thanks to you
- 50:22Speaker 2: for listening to Jaguars Happy Hours.
