• 1:18
  Speaker 1: about that wide receiver, Chris Conley. We'll join us in studio.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: He'll be a regular guest co host, not even a

• 1:39

• 1:42
  Speaker 1: show next week in Baltimore, so we'll move it ahead
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: a little bit and here from Jimmy Luck. A little
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: bit later today before we get to football today, though,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: some news this afternoon out of City Hall. The City
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Jaguars and Iguana Investments have
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: come to an agreement on Lot J. Mayor Lynna Curry
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: put out a statement earlier today, a video today, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: now Mark Lamping, the Jaguars president, has put out a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: statement of his owns and you see it on the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: screen right there about the future of Lot J. There's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: still some hurdles to go through here. They have to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: go through the Downtown Investment Authority and the City Council
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. But this is the first time, as we
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: understand it, that a city representative has said we're moving
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: forward with Lot J. It's huge, certainly for the area
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: around the sports complex John and what the city and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: what the Jaguars see as the future of downtown Jacksonville. Yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I thought for a second, you're gonna read the whole state.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You can read it for yourself. It's a doozy, but
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it's important. It's an important doozy because, as it says,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's it's the first time that they've had an official
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: from the city say yeah, we're going forward with it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I a JP you're around, so you know, there's always
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: been a feeling it's going to happen. There's a confidence
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: within the building the lt J is going to happen.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: There's a feeling of how important it is for that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to happen, for the whole vision that they have for
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: this area, downtown, Daily's Place, like j etcetera. It's a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: very important initiative for the Jaguars. But there's always an
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: emphasis when they do these sort of things it has
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to be a public private partnership, you know. And that's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the key here that this is the first, uh, you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: official hurdle. I guess in a series of a few
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of these that has to happen. But big deal and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know, good, I'm excited about seeing it. Mean, I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: think Jaguars fans sometimes because since Shot has been the owner,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: this team has done such a great job of announcing
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: video boards one day and then they appear the next week,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you know, and that's tougher to do when it's this
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: big of a project. So I think fans sometimes almost
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: put a lot J in the back burner and you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: forget about it. It's there. You know it's gonna happen,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So back on the front burner now and a big deal.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: If it happens, it would change so much and push
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: this team more toward, uh, you know, being financially stable
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: as you go forward, help the local revenue, all that
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: stuff people hate hearing about, but it would be very important.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And so in that light, it's a huge day on
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the big day on that front. A lot of news
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: still to come down the line on this thing as well,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but the first announcements coming up just a matter of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: minutes and about an hour hour and a half ago
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: from the city of Jacksonville and Mark Lamping putting out
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: his statement for the Jaguars there. So let's move on
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to football, shall we. A week number two of training camp,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: practice number six today in the books, we heard from
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: John d. Filippo after practice today. First time during camp
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we've heard from the offensive coordinator. We know what we
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: see on the practice, feelble to hear it from the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. It makes you it's a little more comforting
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: when when you know he's happy with kind of where
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: things are. Yeah, and you know, he said a few
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: things that were interesting. I thought the highlight was what
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he said about Leonard Fournette's passing game presence, and it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: clear from listening to Folds, listening to De Filippo during
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the off season, and John again today for net is
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: going to be a big part of the passing offense.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: His hands have always been underrated. Uh he has I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: think four in fifty yards receiving in a couple of years.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I would expect him to pass that this year. He's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: often been better as a receiver then he has as
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a runner right out of the backfield because to be
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: able to get him a favorable matchup. So I think
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that's definitely gonna be a huge part that it will
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: be fascinating over the first four or five weeks of
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the season to see how that comes into play. Um
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and he really didn't have any money quote today about hey,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I love where the offense is. Hey, we're x amount
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: further than I thought we would be. But I thought
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the overall his overall tone was very positive in the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: sense that he feels like they're grasping the offense. The
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: young guys are getting it, and it's still part of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: where what a weekend to what is sort of a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: five week process to get ready to the regular season.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have expected him to come out with bells
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and whistle. Everything's going great. But you did like what
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you hear in terms of the progress being made. And
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he knows too. He wants to see it
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: under some real game lights at some point, you know. Yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that's really the true test of things, and to see
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: where some of these receivers are, where the timing is,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and where the offensive line is. You gotta see it
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: against another two and having practiced next week against the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Ravens will help that. Well, yeah, and he said that's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: really the big thing. You get three days next week,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the game and then two practices. So you get the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: feeling from listening to him that there's very much okay,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: we've seen what we're gonna do against each other. It's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: not training camping too, until you hear a coach say,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: hey can't wait to get the pads on, or I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: can't wait until the real stuff starts. He said that today, hey,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: tired of hitting each other. JP we get it's somebody else.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So that's happened, and now that's moving forward. That. Um.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I liked a couple of things that Di Filipo said.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: There's some honesty that he throws in there too. Uh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: when he was talking about Josh Oliver and and Jeff Swain,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: especially with Josh Oliver, he said, he made clear that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: there's still a long way to go there, that I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: forget what he was talking about in terms of uh,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: mind perfection or um, just knowing what's going on in
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the fields awareness. Made clear that Josh Oliver has that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: also made clear this guy has been in two padded
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: practices and has a long way to go on that,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: uh said basically same thing about a couple other players.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Seems like a guy to me who is not going
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to uh, He's gonna let you know what's really going
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: on somewhere in the quote, which sometimes can be tough
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: when talking to coaches, as you know, I'll slip it
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: around now. Defensively, you know, you're watching some of these
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: on one pass rush drills and all that first time
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and pads. We get to see some of that stuff,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and you see the physicality and just the presence of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: rookie Josh Allen, and there's a couple of moments where
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the offensive line will win and do all that, but
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you know, at some point Alan is going to physically
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: be able to do that thing on the defensive line.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And it's good to see. Well, if you recall um,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you would rather see the defensive players in that drill
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: winning it. I always like what Tony Boselli says about
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that drill that basically it is set up to see
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the defensive player win because it is the defensive pass rusher.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: He knows exactly what he's got to do in the play.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: There's no chipping, there's no question's gonna for the quarterback.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: He doesn't worry about the rhyme. So a pass rusher
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: better be able to do well in that drill. And
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: if an offensive lineman does well in that drill, then
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: he's probably pretty good. So it is good to see.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Josh looked like he knows what he's doing in that drill,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and I can say he was dominating it. But after
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: two days in pads, you can certainly see that this
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: guy's a prototype and he's the most prototypical pass rushing
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: defensive and on the team. With apologies to the unique,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: unique smaller with with Josh Allen, you see exactly why
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: they drafted him. You see why he had seventeen sacks
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: last year. Uh, the lights are on a little more
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in that drill. So it's encouraging um two practices in.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: You don't get too excited, but you're as excited as
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you can be based on what you've seen. Another defensive
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: player that that Doug Moron actually called out in his
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: press conference the other day is the rookie linebacker Quincy Williams,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and he called him the fastest guy on the team.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And we've talked about it the last couple of days
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: since Doug talked about that. But then you go out
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: there and and see it happened, and he can get
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to the sideline in a hurry, and he can cover
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of ground, and he's thicker than you think.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: He can bring the wood a little bit. But that said,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: he's still a rookie player and at some point, uh,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he'll have his NFL moment welcome to the NFL type
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of moment. But right now, so far, so good. Well,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a few bullet points here and talking to DJ Chart,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: D D Westbrook, DJ Chart, Chris Conley, and Cieling Cole,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: DJ does not think would be run down by Quincy Williams.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So there's a point of pride there. I said on
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Drivetown this morning, I wish locker room had been open
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: today because there's nothing more fun been asking guys in
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the locker room who the fastest guy on the team is.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to think somebody's faster than them, so that'll
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see what happens there. Um. I don't
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: think that the Telvin Smith loss is going to be
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a huge loss. I think they'll miss him in certain situations.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: But I believe that Quincy Williams outside linebackers are running
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: chase position. This kid can run and chase if things
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: are going well around him, I think he'll be fine. Yes,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: there'll be some welcome to the NFL moments where he's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: out of position. Well, guess what, At times in the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: last couple of years, Telvin has been on a position
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: as well. That's I don't think they'll lose a whole
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: lot there. He's bigger than Talvin. I'm not gonna sit
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: here on this air and say that he's gonna be
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: better than Talvin immediately. But out of the players that
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you could have afforded to lose, I you know, I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: think Talvin's relatively low on the list compared to with
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Jalen Rams. He compared to a Clays Campbell unique and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: got way Marcel Darius so I don't think the drop
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: off will be dramatic there. And I know inside the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: building they believe they've got a real fine and Quincy one.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And there's something about the way he pursues. There's something
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: about the way he sees it on the field. I'm
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the first person to say, look, you don't get too
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: excited until they're in pads and even under the lights,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: even where they're actually playing games. But there are things
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: he does in terms of awareness. You talked to his
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: college coach, I believe right for the draft where he
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: talked about he never backs off from a tackle. He
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: always runs through a tackle. H He has no instinct
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of pulling back before the point of attack. He's not
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: tackling yet, but you can kind of see that sometimes
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: during the during the situation, his instinct is to go
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: forward an attack, and it feels like it's there. Marcel
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Darius coming through the hallway. You never know who's gonna
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: pass by the studio here on Jaguars dot Com. Got
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to see him making his way through. You had a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: visit with d J Shark. You mentioned it you talked
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to but your a visit, I think he's gonna go
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: up on the website. If it's not there already, it'll
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: be there very soon from earlier today. Second year wide receiver,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and we'll get into this with Chris Connie a little
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: bit coming up and get his thoughts on what where
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: DJ is. He hasn't been with him before this offseason,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of course, But big step year two for a receiver,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a guy who didn't have huge receiving numbers a year ago,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: who was an impact player on special teams though his
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: rookie year. Now it's about taking that next step when
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: he's one of the eleven on offense. That's a big
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: step for a big time receiver who a lot of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: people thought it was the first round talent. But we've
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: talked a lot of ball you and me over the year, JPC.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I have very low expectations for rookies in general.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I have extremely low expectations for most first round wide
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: receivers or for most young wide receivers, because I just
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: believe it's very hard for them to come even close
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to what their potential is as rookies because there's so
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: much going on and there's so much more to the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: game in terms of getting open in the NFL than
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: there is in college so much faster. My sense from
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: talking to DJ Shark is it is that he really
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: saw that without very much prompting. He started talking today
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: when I was there about UH basically being in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: playbook last year, but maybe not quite knowing that he
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: had to look at everything two or three times to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: really know it, maybe not realizing exactly how precise a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: route had to be run to really get open. UH.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Those are enormous differences. One step, one half step makes
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: an enormous difference in this league. It's why most wide
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: receivers start adding to their numbers after their first year.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: He needs to do a lot more than that, but
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: he seems to be getting it. UM. I don't know
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that he'll even reach his potential this year because he
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: has a long way to go, but you do think
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that he will be a huge part of that top
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: three rotation. To me with DJ, what I would expect
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: in the last six games of this season, I would
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: expect him to really be getting it, to really be
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: seeing it, and you'll see the results. I think we're
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: really really excited this time next year about him, not
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to say he can't contribute. There's so much new right
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: now going on with his offense, it'd be surprising if
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: he came just blitzing out of the box. But I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: think you're gonna start seeing stride after stride after stride
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: because the talent is there. If you have a guy
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like Kindly on one side that we feel like I
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: can do some things. You know, he hasn't had. He's
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: had some injury stuff. He's gonna back up in his
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: career all that, But that was just a chance for
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Conde to step up and be with Foalds again and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: do all that. If he can do that, if d
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: d can play like you think he can this year,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it could open up some things from DJ. Yeah. When
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I say that about DJ, I don't mean he's gonna
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: put another hen fifty yards season. I just mean he
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: as a first round receiver and as a guy that
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: this team drafted eventually be a go to guy. I'm
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: not sure he gets to go to guy meaning twelve
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: yard guy and eleven touchdowns. I don't I'm not sure
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you take the jump from where he was to that
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in one year. But I think you'll see a significant
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: step to eight fifty guy maybe with seven touchdowns they
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: would love to have if that happened, for d J.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Char I mean they haven't had yard guy around here
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: much at all. I mean it's been rare, you know. Yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: they had a Rob and then they had Jimmy. Yeah,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: So I mean yeah, But on something you said, I
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: never really thought that Westbrook was t yard guy, But
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I'm starting to think that maybe he's. He's a little
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: more special than I thought he was the first couple
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of years. And just the first week of camp he
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: started to break out a little bit. Did in a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: tough situation last year, and he wouldn't say it's a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: breakout season. He didn't like it when I he said
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: last week when I talked, he said, no way, was
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that my breakout season. But he started showing signs and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: consistent flashes last year and I always wondered what kind
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of that meant. Well, he so far in training camp
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: looks like I think Chark will looking camp next year,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: meaning all of a sudden, consistently standing out, looking like
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: he's the guy that falls and looking to first. That's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: encouraging because if Westbrook is that guy, then all of
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you've got something that you can concentrate on
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: with two or three other receivers complimenting that. And at
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: some point if that that, those guys start putting up
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: numbers and doing that over years, over years, all of
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: a sudden you're paying out, you know, Michael Thomas money
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe not, maybe not. That's big money. That's a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: lot of money. Yeah, I had to bring up money.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Didn't get back to no, no, But that was the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: big news in the league. Thomas five years, hundred million
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: dollars for Saints sixty one million guaranteed, big money for
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a big time receiver down in New Orleans. Chris Connley

• 20:05
  Speaker 1: what's up. Good, good to be here, Thanks for having me,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks for coming. Excited about this year and everything We're
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: gonna get into Yeah, here we are, man, I mean, so, um, yeah,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: this is your Your background is is pretty interesting. You
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: came from an air Force background as a youngster, so
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you moved around a lot as a kid. But you
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: finished up in Dallas, Georgia, with northwest part of the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: state up there, that in the country there, uh, and
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: then went to U g A. And then all of
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a sudden you're a draft pick in Kansas City, worked
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: your way through, you had an achilles injury there. Now
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you're in free agency. You come to Jacksonville back with
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a quarterback you had been with before. But your background
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: moving around as that kid, I mean, how many places
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: did you live when you were a kid? A number
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: of places? You know. I was born Overseason, Turkey, and uh,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: after that, was stationed in one Er Robins, Georgia. After
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: that Edwards in California, and then we moved off base
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: in California. Then uh, finally Dad retired and we moved
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: back to Georgia in Atworth and that's where I went
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to high school. And so, um, you know, I've been
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: quite a few places, quite a few places. And then
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you know, following college, I went to Kansas City. You know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: out there in the Midwest and now closer to home
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville. So it's been it's been an interesting
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: trip and uh, you know, just excited to be down here,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you know, in the heat and uh getting ready for
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: some duval football. How much does that sort of background
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: help you in the NFL. It's it's such a league
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: where you have to be prepared for change. And you
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: underwent change this offseason. Uh, the background you had sort
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: of having to move, having to be able to adjust
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to new environments. How much does that help you once
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you get to the NFL where you sort of have
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to do that a lot? It helps a lot, you know.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I think that one of the things people don't realize
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: about the league is is you can be on a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: team one day and get traded and literally have to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: pack up and move to another city and begin work
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and then try the next day exactly people. And and
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you know that can happen either in free agency with trades.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: It can happen with cuts and waivers and and guys
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: getting picked up. This this league, it changes every single
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: day and all the time. And so uh, I think
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that you know, that really prepared me to be able
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: to insert myself into into different locker rooms, into different
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: groups with guys and really just let them know, Hey, guys,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know you, you don't know me, you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give everything that I can for this
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: team to move forward, and you can trust me on
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that and to build that trust quickly and to be
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: efficient and working with guys. How long does that take
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the in the example here, how long did it take
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: for you to get in this locker room really get
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to know some of the guys around you and and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: develop that trust or was that still an ongoing process.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's forever an ongoing process, but really right now,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you know, It's what made it easier for me, is
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: is even though the football world can be kind of big,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: it's really small. And this locker room already had guys
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: that I was drafted with in Kansas City. This locker
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: room already had guys that I played against when I
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: was in college. It had guys that I've played against
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in the league and guys that I've known through other guys.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: And so when you come into the locker room, it's
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: not people's first time hearing your name. It's not their
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: first time for some people talking to you. It's not
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: your first time being on the field together and competing
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: against each other, and so when you have those things
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: take place before, it makes it easier coming into a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: locker room. Guys already have a sense for what you're
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: really about. Now you just gotta you know, fine tune
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and and cultivate more relationships. Something we all said would
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: probably be the case and O T A. S. And
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: now everybody expected you to have a chemistry with Nick
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: because you know him. But sometimes it's easy to say
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: that and it doesn't really happen. It appears it's happened.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Do you feel that and will that give you guys
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: an edge going forward? Do you think that will maintain
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: going forward? I think communication is always something that's that's huge,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and I think that's the biggest part of our relationship
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: that that has really given us a headstart is is
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Nick and I have no problems talking to each other
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: about things that are working, things that are not working,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: things that we need to pick up and that we
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: need to fix. And uh, you know, we're always constantly
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: encouraging each other every single thing that um that he
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: does on the field. You know, I'm I'm I'm letting
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: him know, Hey, you know, I'm I see you out there,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I see that you're working, and he does the same
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: thing for me. Um, we've had We've had a good,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: good camp so far, we had a good spring and
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: we're just continuing to build those things because those are
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: gonna those relationships matter. It gets later into a year. Uh.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Nick, when you signed, you told the story
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: of y'all's relationship a little bit. But I'm not sure
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: everybody who's watching this necessarily knows the story. You knew
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: when he took over the Eagles, you told people that
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: they were gonna win the Super Bowl here, and I
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: guess just tell that story a little bit. And what
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is it about him that it gives you such confidence
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: that he's going to succeed where he gets. Uh, you know,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: we had kind of reverse roles when we were in
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Kansas City. You know, at that point, I was a
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: starter on the offense and Nick was a backup. And
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: so every day Nick and I would get throzen after
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: practice and we would work on things on the field
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: that uh, that he wanted to be ready for for
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the game plan or routes that I didn't, you know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: get enough reps that in practice, and I wanted to
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: catch a couple more balls, and so we we got
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: into these conversations, and over the time of having those conversations,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I realized that this was a guy who had who
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: was so grounded, who was so grounded and had a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: confidence about him. And really, you know, even watching him
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: when he was the starting quarterback for the Eagles and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: seeing the way that he carried himself in the way
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that he played, I saw that this guy just had
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the talent to lead a team. And so I knew
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that he was going to get another opportunity, and I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: just wanted to encourage him by saying, you know, hey,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: like you have all the pieces, the intangibles and the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: tangible things. When you get that opportunity, you're gonna make
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a run at this thing. And you were on radio
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: show and predicted it, right, Yeah. Yeah. I was actually
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: on on ESPN Radio radio. I think it was two
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: weeks before the Super Bowl when they were preparing for
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: that game, and somebody was like, hey, who's you Who
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: are you taking in this game? And I said, man,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I'm rolling with the Eagles and Nick Foles, and I
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: don't remember I think some people's reactions were like, really, dude, Like,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I know it's your friend and all, but but you know,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: he made me right. And uh, you know I can
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: say that and be proud of it because I knew
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: those things and who he was before he got to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: that stage and before he had that spotlight. There was
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a story Chris Connelly with us, He'll be with us
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: each and every Wednesday during the regular season, first visit
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: with us here on Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group. You know, there was the he was
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: signed here, and then there was the you guys have
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: talked before about wanting to play on the same team
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: together again at some point. Uh that was there a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: recruiting process with him. I remember there was a story
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: about emojis and some creepy emojis getting sent from him
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to you and what was that whole? Yeah, he creeped
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: me out a little bit. Um. You know. I saw,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I saw the rumors that were going around that he
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: was gonna sign with the Jaguars, and so I was
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I was starting to keep my eye out. I knew
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I was in free agency, and I was like, hmm,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you know, we had talked about playing with each other again.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I remember we were out in Newport Beach at Nick
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: has a home out there, and we were just doing
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: some offseason training a couple of years ago, and we
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: were just talking about the future and he was like, hey, man,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: if we get an opportunity to play with each other again,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: like we have to make it happen. And so when
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I saw those rumors, I let my agent and I
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, like, keep me keep me updated with
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: this Nick Foles, you know, Jacksonville situation. And as soon
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: as it broke that he had signed in Jacksonville, I
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: text my I texted my age and I was like, hey, like,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I want to know everything about that situation that's going
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: on there. About ten minutes later, I started getting these
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: eyes emojis texts from n I started getting these eyes emojis,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and I would text him back and I'd be like,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: what's up, dude, and he would send me those little
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: an emojis, you know, the animated emojis. He was, Yeah,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: he's total weirdo. He started sending me an emojis because
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: he was like super high, just making noises. And then
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: he called me a little while later and was like, hey, like,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I know that you're in free agency and you have
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: some other options, but like, let's talk about the possibilities
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville. And you know, oh, I got asked
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: during O T A S didn't get that much of
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: a chance to go against Jalen Ramsey more and more
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: one on ones between you guys, I, I guess just
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: talk about him and the challenges to go against him
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: in practice of a player first off, hel of a player,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: hell of an athlete. Uh And I think one of
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the things that that people don't realize so much is
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: that he's just a student of the game and so
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: he has such a good feel for the corner position.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And Jalen Ramsey is at his best when he's in
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: press coverage, when he's up there in the receiver's face,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and when he can be an aggressor. You know, he
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: he has this mentality that is aggressive but patient at
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the same time, and he forces you to play on
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: his terms. And so I think that's that's one of
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the fun things about this camp so far, is learning
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and going up against a guy like that every day.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: It really pushes me to elevate my game, to be patient,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: to be aggressive, and to really counter those strategies that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: he brings to practice each day, a little bit of
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: a football when on one question, but you're a big
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: guy who I assume plays with some strength. How difficult
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: is when going into jail and considering he's so unusually
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: big and strong physically for a corner headed, what's the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: challenge trying to get off the line against him? It
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: takes a lot more right when you go. You know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: when you go against a corner who's forty pounds lighter
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: than you, it's it's a noticeable difference when you want
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to move him out of the way. You have to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: bring a lot of force and a lot of power,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and you have to hit him at the right spot.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: And yeah, exactly, you gotta. You might try an initial
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: release and it might not work. You're gonna have to
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: use a secondary release and get open all within the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks timing, and so it really it really causes you
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: to change in your game and really elevate and do
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: things faster and still make it work. We'll come back
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in a moment more with Chris Connelly coming up at
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Dailies place to schedule, getting busy in the heat of summer,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Why don't we August second, Dirty Heads and three eleven
• 30:15

• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Will be with us each and every Wednesday during the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: regular season. Well, the busy schedule coming up. We're going
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to Baltimore next week, so and then you know the
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: games are on Thursdays, so Wednesdays are a little weird
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: around here in the preseason. But we'll get back with
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: you on week one. How about that for the Kansas
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: City game, It'll be a big group. You like dual practice,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, is that a good or do you care? Uh?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm not the biggest fan of it, but
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I understand the benefits. You know, the you really have
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: to just take everything into account when you go into
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: those practices. You're going up against guys in a different
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: color jersey. You're going up against guys who who have
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: been struggling through camp, hitting their own guys, and it
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: gets really competitive in those In those practices, you have
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities to get better, You have a
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: lot of opportunity is for things to get derailed and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: and go off off the side. But you know, I'm
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: looking forward to this. Baltimore will be a good team
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: to practice because they always you know, defensively, are are
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: very strong and with Lamar Jackson, you know that that
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: guy is is a one man team right there. He
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: can win games all by himself. So it would be
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: a good test for us that the John harball. So
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the other week, they're gonna it's gonna be an offense
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: that they've never seen in the league before. A lot
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: of running around by the quarterback. They's like they're interesting
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: to walk. Yes, see how that works in the NFL.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: But last year he did a really good job. Okay,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: had a very good job. We'll see how long you
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: can keep it up. Let's talk about some of your
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: guys in the room with you. You know, your your
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: first impressions of a guy like D. D. Westbrook and
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: d J. Chark. Guy has been around for a couple
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: of years. But I mean you're a little bit older
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: in the league than they are. Your first impression of
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: a guy like D. D. Westbrook. Um, at least so
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: far in camp, from outside where the media stands, in
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the practice field, the guys making unbelievable plays. He has,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: he's had a great camp so far, and he's continuing
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: to row and to build. And I think one of
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the things that's really good about having a guy like
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: DD Westbrook who's made plays in this league. He comes
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: in every day looking to get better. He comes in
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: asking questions. There's there's many times on the sideline where
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: he could just be resting, catching his breath, getting ready
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: for the next rack of plays. But instead he'll come
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: and find me. He'll come and find Nick or flip
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and he'll go and ask questions about routes that he's run,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: plays and concepts that he's seeing the defense and what
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: they're doing. And he really wants to build this and
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: get better so that he can be more of a weapon.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: So I've been so impressed by the way that he's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: practiced in the work that he's put in and off
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the field. D D. Westbrook is just like a ball
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: of energy. He's constantly making jokes and talking and and
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: running from here to there. It's like this guy doesn't sleep.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: That's a change from a year or two ago. Right, John,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: he was a little bit quiet his first year coming in.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I think you know, come in as kids and they're
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out their terrain and uh, you know
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: dd that he did that his first year. He had
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: some off field stuff in college and he was trying
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: to work through and uh but really and he was
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: injured about half the season. He had a uh I
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: think it was a sports turnity thing. So he kind
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: of went through that, and then last year you started
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: seeing him come into his own and uh, it was
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: interesting talking to Keenan mccartell. Uh. I guess last week
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I asked ken how much does this kid wanted because
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Keenan was the guy who wanted it. Keenan surprised me
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: with his answer. How over the top Keenan was. Was
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: this guy wants to be great? And I don't know
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that I had seen that side of d D just
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: from talking to him a few times. I had. But
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: when Keenan says that you've got that kind of drive,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: it sounds like you've seen that. Indeed, you can definitely
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: see it when you're on the field, and you can
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: see it when you're in the huddle as well. You know,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you can look into the guy's eyes and you can
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: see what he's about on that drive, especially when it's
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a long drive drill your tin plays in, going on
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: a fifth team play drive, you can really see what
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: someone's made of d J Chark. DJ could have been
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: a first round picked that a lot of people had
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: him as the first round great here and then last
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: year the numbers as a receiver, weren't you know it
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: was a rookie numbers. It was a hundred and something
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: yards receiving, but really good on the special team side
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: of things. We were talking about it earlier, John and
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I and here about his development, at least so far
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: in camp and and him taking a step in year two.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: It looks like it's a step in the right direction
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: so far, very very good steps. And we've seen some
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: really explosive plays out of d J Chark during this camp.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: We've seen DJ Chark win some plays and some balls
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: down the field, and uh, you know, it's just those
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: steps are continuing to be be taken by him, and
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: uh you know, he's he's focused in on little things
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that have made him better. DJ Chark is a long body,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: really tall receiver, extremely explosive. But when you're long and
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you're explosive like that, you have to learn how to
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: play in a smaller and tighter space, especially versus these
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: press coverage corners that we go against every day here.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: And he's done a really good job of elevating his
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: game to work and move like a smaller receiver, and
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it's it's really translated to plays on the field. I
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: gotta ask you. I talked to DJ this morning. One
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: of the topics was Doug Maron saying yesterday that Quincy
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Williams was the fastest guy on the team, and wait,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I believe you ran a decent forty at the combine,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: think maybe you had a little bit of especially for
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: a guy my weight. You know, I I don't know
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: if I necessarily agree with that. I know d D
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't agree with it. DJ doesn't agree with it. I'm
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: pretty sure the whole receiver room doesn't agree with it
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: right now, but we'll we'll address that at a later time. Well,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: you didn't like officially like it's on record, and Doug
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: wouldnt acknowledge it. I'm not trying to stare anything laser
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: laser by the way, these guys have run these times laser,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: but you know whatever, we'll pass that up. What was
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: your time in the combining three? Five? That's it? Yeah,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding, of course, look at of course the big
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: big vertical to Yeah. Yeah, it was fairly explosively coming
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: out of college, you know, decently explic you know, or
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: holding onto a couple of those those you know, hold
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit. It's a it's been a conversation point.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: No way would Quincy run you d D or him down,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: And he said he might be able to get Marquis,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: but right now Marquis is hurt. The only reason. No way.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: We got speed in our room, serious speed and and
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: you'll see we don't we don't need to talk about it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Another guy, Marquis Lee in that room, not on the
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: field yet still coming back from the kne Andrew, what
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: do you know about Marquis before you came here? And
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: what have you seen from him in the meeting rooms
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: and just being around this group here. You know, Marquis
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: is a guy that I didn't know directly before coming here,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: but had heard about him through other guys and just
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: about him being a good guy and a guy that
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: you want to have in your locker room. And when
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I came in here and and really my first day
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: here in the building, ran into him in the hallway
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: and we kind of have one of those moments, Oh hey, Chris,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Hey Marquis, Oh man, what's up? And we immediately gotten
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: a conversation as if we had known each other only
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: by knowing each other through other people and uh and things.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Things kind of just have continued to move in that direction,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: and Marquise has been an invaluable resource to me being
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: new here, being new in this building with other guys
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: on the team, and really just learning and preparing for
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: camp in Jacksonville, because that's a whole another situation. Markis
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: has been been a great help to me, and you know,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for him to get back. You know, he's
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: you know, doing everything that it takes to get back
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: onto the field and hopefully that happens soon. And you
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: sort of have a little perspective on what he's going through.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think your injury was quite it's severe, but
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: it was severe, and just that process of he's going
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: through having to wait and then sort of the unknown
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: when you come back. It's it's a tricky spot. He's
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the It's there's so much that goes on mentally with
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: a football player when see an ending injury happens, especially
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: when you're playing at such a high level before it happens,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: you know, it just it really derails everything. And there's
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: a rebuilding process that takes place with your body. There's
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: a rebuilding process that takes place mentally, and so there's
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that he's going through right now
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: to get himself back on the field, and he's working
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: extremely hard at it, and uh, you know, all that
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: work will pay off. Final thoughts here each week will
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: kind of look around the league a little bit with
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: you if that's okay. Because some um some top stories
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: from the league, and and today, Michael Thomas signs a
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: five year, one million dollar deal with the New Orleans Saints,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: sixty one million dollars guaranteed the highest paid receiver ever.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: When that news comes out, the media jumps all over.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: But when that kind of goes through the locker room
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: and you're looking at your phone and see it, how
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: do you guys react to that when we're not watching. Yeah,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys are excited. A lot
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: of guys are excited. They're happy for him. Some guys
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: are just happy for him because they know him. Some
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: guys are just happy because they want to see other
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: guys succeed. Some guys are happy because when guys get
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: paid more, it moves up the bottom line. You know,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of different reactions that go on. UM.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: But pure excitement, pure excitement, enjoy you know, it's it's
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: he had a year last year that was spectacular, and
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: we're really excited. I'm really excited to see him build
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: on it. Maybe not when they come here, though, Let's
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: just have him a week off. Maybe, well, you know,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: he can make some plays, you know, we just make more, Uh,

• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I think there's some people kind of feeling some of
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: that and we included but hurt a little bit. But well,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: the all season was good to me. Um, you know,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I had a good time off. Didn't really grind too
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: hard there, so it was a little rough out there,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: but we made it through. Now, is there a process
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: that your staff goes through with new players of figuring
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: out what they want each day like some guys for
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a different kind of pad for Is that a learning
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: process during this time of year or is that not
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: that big deal? A little bit, We try to get
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: most of that during O T A S. We try
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to figure out some of that. So when we hit
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: the ground now we're running. Um, but there's a few
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: things actually because of the heat and now we're hitting
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: and stuff, there are a few things that kind of
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: come up. But um, you know, you just try to
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: make trying to make that connection with the players when
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: they get here to kind of build that rapport. Um,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Chris and I actually kind of hit it off a
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: little bit because I've got a Georgia Tech helmet in
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: my office. He didn't like that, so, uh, we kind
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: of talked about it, and we were all good, what
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: they call it, clean, old clean, old fashioned hate. That's right,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: that's right. And then but I reassured him that two
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: of my favorite players I've had in all my years
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: are Georgia guys, Abrey Jones and DJ Shockley. So that's right.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: You had Shockley too up in Atlanta, softer the day.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: All right, So you've got um as an equipment manager director.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: What is your title? Just head equipment equipment dude. There's
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: a lot going on this year because it's the one
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: hundredth year of NFL Professional football and it's also the

  Speaker 1: twenty fifth season of Jaguars football, So I'm sure that

• 46:56
  Speaker 1: patches and stuff in the uniforms. Right. Yeah, So all
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: the all the jerseys across the league, I think the
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: only one that doesn't is Chicago because they're celebrating their hundred,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: So I don't think they have the hundred there, but
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: they have a bunch of other things going on. Um,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: so we got on the V of the neck. There
• 47:11
