  Speaker 1: This is the Jaguars Broadcast Week Interview podcast presented by TIAA. Bank.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I'm JP Shadick with the best of the week from
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Jack's Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and our social channel Jaguars Twitter, Facebook,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and YouTube. It's Friday, April seventh, and we're closing in
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: on the start of the offseason program and we're inside
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: three weeks from the start of the twenty twenty three
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: NFL Draft. That's hard to believe. Let's begin this week
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with Jacks Drivetime. Tuesday morning. Brian Sexton and John Osher
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: had some final thoughts following the NFL annual meeting in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Arizona and owners shot CON's interactions with other NFL owners.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: You talk, You kind of go over what you might
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ask and just sort of small talk because I've known him,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you know, for ten or eleven years now and seeing
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: him go through some rough times as an owner, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: he said on and off the air that it's kind
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of a cool time to be the owner now, to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: go to lead events and hear other owners reaction to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: what they did, and you know, I think there is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a feeling and I don't think it words in his mouth,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: but a feeling of they're figuring out and they're going
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to be dangerous because of the head coach and the quarterback,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and teams are congratulating them other owners because they run
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in a circle where they see each other and they
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: know what each other go through to get there. They're
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: congratulating him, and I don't know if he said this,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: but I got the impression that they're not congratulating him
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: too much because there might be more congratulating to do.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It's funny you say that, because now he's sort of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a threat this team, So there's a little balance of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that and that's all in good fun. But that was
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the vibe I got as I watched it. I thought,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: there's a little sense of satisfaction there, because, as you mentioned,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: he had been through some bumpy times and the Urban
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Meyer cloud that had been hanging over this franchise is
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: finally gone, right, But then I decided it wasn't satisfaction
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: as much as it was anticipation. They are anticipating what
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the beginning of this is going to turn into. And
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: we've talked about this. Look, if you just look at
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the coach or the quarterback, a pretty good roster with
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to build over the next few years with
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: some salary cap room in the future setting out there,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but most of all the coach in the quarterback. You
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: can anticipate the golden age of Jaguar's football in front
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of us. Well, it's funny. When they drafted Trevor Lawrence,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we talked about and let's face it, Doug Peters need
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a great job last year, but Trevor Lawrence is the code.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: If you follow me or without him, the code doesn't work.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And I think in a similar extent, if you don't
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: have Trevor doesn't have the success. But you have to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: have that guy behind center. And the fact that he's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: so young and developing, and the point I was getting
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to and I'm when I commented about Doug earlier, Doug
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: knowing that Trevor's got more in him, and where Doug
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is going to be able to take Trevor in this offense,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they go hand in hand. But the Code sixteen. Yeah,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And for Trent Balky, I think he would tell you
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the same thing, who I think deserved the praise that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: shod gave him last week. Having Trevor there allows them
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to do the job that they want to do. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: think they're both capable people in their jobs. Without that piece,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, those things they're trying to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: get so much harder. We've lived in other coaches, other eras. Yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: not having that quarterback made it such a struggle, as
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you said, to get your foot out of that sticky mud.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That just kind of pulled it back in. Trevor gives
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: him the ability because of his talent, yeah, to take
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: up young receiver or even a defense because he's giving
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: them a lead and help it all get better. JAX
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Drivetime airs Tuesday mornings on Jaguars dot Com and Jack's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: social media. Now to quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He was invited
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Triple A
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp home opener Tuesday. Jeff Lockaman and I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: reviewed the throw on Jaguar was Happy our radio Thursday afternoon.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Let's get to Trevor Lawrence. He was in a different
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: sports earlier this week, not football, not golf, baseball. He
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: drew out the ceremonial first pitch at the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the Triple A affiliate of the Miami Marlins. Just a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago in their home opener, and he
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: brought a fastball a little high and inside to a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: right handed hitter. But it would have been a strike
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: if they'd have swung at it. And you know I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: did over I think I did seven hundred eighteen Sons
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: games over five years. I'd say that's a top tier
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: first pitch. I've seen some bad ones over the years.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: That one was close. He had to bring the heat,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and we after the fact, she spoke with the media
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: off on the third base side and explain the first pitch.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I try to get a little warm with a little high,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: but I was like, I gotta throw a hoard. Like
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I said, if I didn't throw things for a living,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like I could have just lobbed it. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I had to at least throw with the heat. So
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: little pressure on that. Yeah, a little pressure, a little nervous,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: come out, come out A but no, it was awesome.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the Dumboats Strimp for having this house mappy.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I just didn't want to skip it in the dirt,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: so it was the catcher caught it, you know, put
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit on it. It wann't a stripe, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: so we can improve for next time. You didn't want
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to be the viral like short No, I don't want
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to be like fifty cent when you sent it to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the dugout over there. So yeah, you don't want to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be that guy. You don't want to short hop it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So hey, well done, and it's good to see him
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: out and about in the community things. What's that contractually?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Can he throw a baseball? Oh? I don't think he
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: threw it at top speed. Just sound like he reared
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: back all the way. Well, I think he can throw
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a baseball and be fine. I threw out a first
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: pitch I think twice in my life him and once
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think, going all the way back to the Sun's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: way back. So he did what year would have been
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: like ninety five six something like that. And uh, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: then I threw one out of a high school game
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and and I should have warmed up. I bounced that one.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Did you bounce the Sun's one? I don't think I did.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I think it got there. But it wasn't great. It
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was kind of like Trevor's. It wasn't It wasn't fast
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: asked or anything. It was like, oh, you know, like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a And one other note about Evers by the way,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he didn't go to the rubber. If I have one criticism,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: he didn't go all the way at the top of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the mount, short of it. They had the little pad
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: out there. I think he just stopped at the pad.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm just I turned from
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the mound when I bounced it, I mean, and I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: bounced it good. Now, I've never thrown one. I think
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I made it like halfway to the plate. It was embarrassing.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: That's not ideal at all. I don't have trust me
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of these shoulders have been operated on about five times
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and they just don't have anything about the shoulder surgery.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Excuse Joe us, your excuse. You threw a few first
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: pitches over your time in Jacksonville, made it every time,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: never bounced it really, twice with the Suns, once with
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the jackspos way back. Wow, congratulations, well done. Have you ever?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Could you make it? Oh? Could I make it? Yeah?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I might not feel my pinky finger or ring finger
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: when I throw, but I can make it there. Okay
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you sure? Yeah? You sure about it? There? Yeah? Okay,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that sounds like a challenge. Sixty feet six inches. All right,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have to paste it out. Get a baseball
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and see if you can make the throw. I can
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: make the throw, I don't know. Okay, no warm up,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you can catch the throw. You
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: need a warm up or no warm ups? I probably
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: need a warm up. Loop. Okay, it's been a minute. Okay.

• 9:00
  Speaker 1: After his first pitch Tuesday at the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: home opener, he was asked a few football questions as well,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: including his thoughts on the return of tight end Evan
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Ingram and John Ojo and I reviewed on the Huddle
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Up podcast Wednesday. Huge. I mean, obviously that was a big,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you know, priority for us this offseason, and so to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: have him back at least for this year and hopefully
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: longer moving forward, I mean, that's that's ideal. And just
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you saw kind of what he did to our offense
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: this last season and how he came on towards the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: end of the year, and I think we've really figured out,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you know, how to use them the right way, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I think we've kind of he's helped us a time
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and we've maximized what he can do, and just to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: keep building on that. There's still more out there for him.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: That's exciting. Partist. You look at his numbers and they
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: were great, and they were some of the best numbers
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: for Jacksonville tight ends ever and for him, but I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: feel like he really didn't even catch on until the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: last back after the season. So to look at having
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a full year of that, it's really exciting. That sky's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: limit and just for our offense too. All Right, that's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: forty three seconds of answer on a question asked by
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: John Oser. They happened to be my question, so that's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: me paying myself on the back. I did think it
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: was within the context of an offseason interview done on
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a baseball field with a quarterback. I thought it was
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: interesting that he when I asked that his ears sort
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of perked up and he talked for much longer than
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I thought he would about it. To me, there was
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: some meat there in the sense that I really do
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: think as they got to the end of last season,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: if you think about what they did with Evan Ingram
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: late last season, the way they used him and his
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: effectiveness and his consistency went way way up the second
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: half the season. I don't think Trevor quite knows yet
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: how they're going to use Ridley because they haven't had
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a stents really talk about it, and he'll find out
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a lot more once they get in here in April.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: But I think he knows from experience and what he's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: seen and as a player and the chemistry they have
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: with Ingram. They're pretty close to Trevor. Evan was there
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: last night there they have a real relationship. So what
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Trevor said last night sort of made me rethink a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: little bit. Not that I didn't think Evan's gonna have
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a big year coming back, but Trevor Sir, seems to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: think that there's a lot more for Evan Ingram in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: his offense, which is interesting because I thought Evan had
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a great year last year. In the second of the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Sea A Huddle Up podcast runs Wednesday afternoons on the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: official Jaguars podcast network. Let's rap the week with the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three debut of the Hunt Jaguars exclusive series
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: offering behind the curtain access as the football leadership builds
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three Jaguars team. This week, general manager
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Trent Bulky and the head coach Doug Peterson at the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: NFL Scott didn't combine number one overall pick last year's.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the approach is different. Can you explain how
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it's different. Well, the basic way that it's different is
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: we got twenty three people that pick before us, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years at zero. So you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it's our job to get the board stacked, to work
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: hard with the coaching staff, to get as much information
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: about these guys as we can and make sure we're
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: bringing guys into this culture that fit what we're trying
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to build here and what we are building here. You know,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the combines, you know, this is what twenty twenty some
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: odd combines. For me, it's it's the same every year.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It's the same routine. You go there to evaluate players.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You go there to get the medical research done on
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the players and to interview them and get to know
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: them as best you can in a fifteen minute interview. So,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the process has changed at all.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Would a weigh in, Wow, there's a here's a grinder.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: You're going to see some things here that you may
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: not see on film and vice versus. So you just
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: it's just another avenue to evaluate these guys. It's a
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: piece to the pubs. It's certainly not the final piece.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: It's a small group too. It's only what happen, you know.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: For me, it's about watching the watching the workouts on
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the field. Its first time the coaches around the league
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: have kind of put their eyes on these players, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: so you just formulate opinions and you start taking notes
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and it's really the beginning stages of you know, this
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: whole draft process. Episode one of The Hunt available now
