• 0:03
  Speaker 1: camp is complete. It's time for another media round table.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'm JP Shadrick and our special guests today are some
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: familiar faces around here. John Oser, Jaguars dot Com. Hi John,
• 0:14

• 0:20
  Speaker 1: tent ten x Elvoys of the Jaguars. What's up, Frank? Well,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be here, especially because Osier is here
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in art and the most special guests you haven't even
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: introduced yet, and that's why I'm excited. The columnists from
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the Times Union, the legendary Geane for not. I feel
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: like this meeting is circa nine, and the Times Union.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have lunch in the river room after this
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: was I might not get a worded on this podcast
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of these three today, let's start a big picture here,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Jaguars at the end of the off season program, five
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: weeks away coming up. What's the most promising thing you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: guys saw in O t A s in the mini
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: camp that that says, hey, you know what, this could
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: be a positive season for the Jaguars. Do you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: anything stand out to you. Well, the number one thing
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that that stands out to me is when I'm watching
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: seven on seven drills, you're watching eleven on leven, the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: ball is not on the ground as much. That's that's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the one thing that stood out to me. I mean,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: with the exception of the of Nick Foles. First o
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: t A after the tragic situation with his wife and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: losing their child happen. Uh, he had a very shaky practice,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and he had a very shaky seven on seven period
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday's practice this week. But other than that, he's
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: been pretty remarkably efficient for most of this spring. And
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I think you know that's that's a that's an encouraging sign.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The accuracy and particularly the accuracy throwing the ball down
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the field. He's the story JP, just the president president.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, but we've watched, we've all been around the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: NFL more every year, more than the last year, quarterback
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: matters more. You don't think he will, And then the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: next year it matters even more and even more. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: there's a presence about the guy. It's the way he's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: talking to his receivers and I don't know what he's saying,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: but we see we go to every practice, he's talking
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to receivers John after every play, and you just feel
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: there's a presence. Leadership is an overused word and overused cliche,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and I get it, But don't you sense that just
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: being around watching them out there? I said all along,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: if he makes one more one or two more plays
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a quarter that matter, meaning you know, four third down conversions,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: one ball not hitting the ground, one ball thrown out
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of bounds correctly, just those little things which I think
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: from what we've seen we would expect just that sort
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of veteran quarterback thing out of him. Uh, you don't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: need eight to be a lot better. This is a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: field position game. This is a game where if his
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: accuracy gets them out of third and four on their
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: own twenty once a half, how much can that flip
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the field for this defense? If they've had that sort
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of stuff happened last year, how much better would they been?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I said that all along that we talked and talked
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: about the defense. Why was the defense not as good
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: as it was? Why there's not as many takeaways, not
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: as many secks? Well, because the other guy is always
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: playing from a head, Because this offense never got ahead
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: when the offense is ahead JP I, so to me,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I think Nick Foles will greatly improved the Jaguars defense, right,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and then it's not supposed work that way, but he
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: will greatly improve the defense. Well. The other thing that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that strikes me if you think of all the quarterbacks
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in the Jaguars and Jaguars history, at least the ones
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that had the starting job for any kind of long term,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: what were they when when they first started, Well, they
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: were twenty two years old, or they were twenty five
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: years old in a trade from Green Bay but didn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: have much quarterback experience, or they were you know, that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: who they were. Now you've got a thirty year old
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: guy who's been a legal while, He's got fifty games
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: under his belt, seven playoff games, five and two records.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: They're a Super Bowl ring. Uh. That's a whole lot
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: different than and this is no disrespect Mark Burnell, who
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was the greatest quarterback in Jaguars history, or or or
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: any of those other guys. Nick is just at a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: different place. Plus, he's a married guy, he's a father.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He can not only talk to teammates about xs and ohs,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he can talk to them about life and you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and that that kind of leadership counts as well. He's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: lived a lot of life, that's for sure. That hasn't
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: happened at that position here in a long, long time.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Jean for Net from The Times Union, John os or
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com. Frank Franzie from Tintin x L. We
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: flip it around now. The greatest concern for this football
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: team every not every team is perfect there, Every team
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: has a flaw in the league. Of course, Where is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars concern right now? Frank? Where do you want
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to be? Well? Well, the obvious thing is there's so
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: many areas of the offense that have to change. So
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I'd throw a big umbrella over that, JP. Will the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: line be a healthy be better? Will for Net be?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: For Net? I mean, he was really good two years ago,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: barely played last year and was just okay when he played.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Are the receivers better? See? There's so much change on
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: offense if you think about it. Now. Two new tight ends,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a new quarterback obviously, Um, a new a new right
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: tackle who's just a rookie. Some guys come. Mark Easley
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: hopefully is healthy, Lenda hopefully is healthy. Conley is new,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Um there's so much newness. So for me, it's how
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: will all that newness on offense? Mesh. That's more than
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: one spot for me is how does all that newness
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: come together and and improve the offense. That's the big
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: thing for me because it's so new. I like all
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the pieces, I think I think I might like the pieces,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: but there are a lot of new pieces. Well, I mean,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: if you go to the other side of the ball,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: obviously safety is going to be uh, something that's gonna
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: be mentioned because you got you don't have a whole
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: lot of experience back there, but you've got to uh,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you know, assuming that you know uniqu and got ways.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Contract situation is going to get resolved, hopefully before September one. Uh,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: there's enough other pieces around that defense where you think
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you can that that that back end is going to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: be okay because you know, you've got a Hayden, you've
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: got a Ramsey, you've got a Bullier who have been
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: together and things like you can go play offensively. I'll
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be honest with the biggest concern for me, and it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: somewhat diminished by the fact that Alfred Blue is here,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because I think he's a very quality backup, running back
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to have good veteran presence is uh. I have some
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: concerns about whether Leonard for Nette is ever going to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: grow up to the point where he needs to be.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You look at what what's happened with Jalen Ramsey in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the last year and a half. You know, you can
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: say whatever you want about some of the provocative comments
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that he's made. The fact of the matter is Jalen
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Ramsey has matured significantly in my opinion, in the time
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that he's been here. I have not seen that with
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette to be perfectly blunt, and that doesn't
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: mean that he can't go and have a great season
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: this year. I would just like to see a little
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: bit more focused, you know. I know he's a he's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a jokester and frankster and likes,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of has that class clown thing about him.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: But I would like to see a little bit more focus,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and maybe Terry Robiski, being from the seventh Ward, will
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: be somebody that will bring that out in him. But
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that that would be my biggest concern on this offense.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: How is how much Leonard for Nett is going to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: really focus on having a rebound season from last year,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and we'll delve into that a little bit more coming up.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I would agree on the front thing, but I know
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it, mate. Um I would still
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: say the offensive line. And I forget who said this.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I was, I was on a radio show and the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: person said it, and they're right. The offensive line, for
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, always seems to look better on paper. Uh,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: then it plays on the field. And you hope that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: this year with Norwell, Taylor, Robinson, Campan Wnder, they have
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the pieces where when you look at this thing on paper,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you think this should be a pretty good group. Even
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in seventeen, when it probably played its best as a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: unit in a while, it was not the dominating, run
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: lacking offensive line that the stats said it did. So
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of the other concerns we were
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: talking about an offense. Frankie started this off by saying,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the umbrella of concerns. If that line plays the way
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to, that umbrella of concerns becomes a lot
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: less concerning to me. John Osier, Frank Francie Jean. For
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that we continue, Let's let's touch on this for that
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: thing you brought it up, Jane Um. Is there anything
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: he can do to get this organization to take that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: fifth year option on him? That? I think it's in May.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: They have to decide going into the fourth season, that's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: after this season? Can't does he? Is there a number?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: He has the reaches? It is it more than that?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Is that the way he does in the building off
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: outside of the building, what can he do? Can he
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: save that here? Well, there's two things for me. Number One,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that it was a mistake like so
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: many people are. I'm not. I'm not convinced yet. I've
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: seen a good year and a not so good year.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: The most important thing he's he's got a stay on
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the dang field. That's the thing, Jabe. He's got to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: be on the field. That trumps everything else. It's my
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: belief that if he stays on the field, he's got
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a great chance to earn thathing. And having said that,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: he plays a position where you don't necessarily uh sign
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: up for the fifth year. He plays a position that
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: looks that is believed over the course of years to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: be a replaceable position. It just is fair Orknough running
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: back his look to be a replaceable position for a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: lot of teams. But the main thing, Yes, I think
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: he can earn that money. Johnny's gotta stawn the field,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. Well, in reference to Genes point earlier,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I get that he needs to mature, but you can
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: also win in this league with a few immature guys. Uh.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's the maturity thing here nearly as
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: much as play fourteen games, run for yards and nine touchdowns,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: They'll redo that option because they'll have to. It's what
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he does in the field. Have another year of nine
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: games with two soft tissue things and yards and two touchdowns,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: then no, but it's gonna be all that on field
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: production because really, with the one year option JP and Gene,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: all you're really doing is committing yourself to one more year.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: If he's good this year, they would pick it up
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: because you also remember with that thing, you're not really
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: committing to it. You can get out of it if
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you want to, So I think they would with a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: thousand yard here. Well, the thing you also have to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: remember too is we've seen two very different years out
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of Leonard for net and kind of like how we
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: see this team is this the two thousands seventeen team
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that we're going to see this year or is it
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the two thousand eighteen? Is it gonna be something in between?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And the same can be said up for Net. Are
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: we going to see that a little bit closer to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the two thousand seventeen or the eighteen version of Leonard
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: for Net Because let's be honest here, when Leonard for
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Nette was drafted, the perception was that this guy was
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: gonna come in and have an incredible impact from making
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: on making this franchise what Tom Coughlin wants it to be.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Where is a team that runs the ball of the time.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It bothered Tom greatly the year before he got here
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to see that this team was like because they were
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: playing from behind so much running the running the ball
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: like percent of the time. It bothered him a lot. Well,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette and now and to some degree Alfred
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Blue as well, and in conjunction with the offensive line,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have to, you know, try and turn that
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: around because if you see the closer to it's probably
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a function of the fact that you're playing with the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: lead a little bit later in the games. And uh, listen,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette is a downhill runner. Leonard fur Nette
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is not you know, Mr wiggle change direction guy that's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: gonna get you four yards when it looks like there's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: only two. He's not that guy. But he's also capable
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: of being a home run hitter. And you know you've
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: got to hit some home runs if you're gonna get
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that per carry average to four point three four point
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: four instead of the three point eight three point nine
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that he's been for his career. Jean for Nette, Frank Frazie,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: John osan media round table final football at here. How
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: does this unique and Gockway thing end up? Is there
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: holdout in camp? Does he come to town? Do they
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: get something done before the season? Do the Jags just
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: let it ride and see how Alan does? What's the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: most likely scenario? John? I think it's a brotally tough
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: spot because he needs, he deserves to get paid. I mean,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. If I've heard it once and I
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: was own mail back, I've heard a million times, just
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: pay the man. Well, the problem is it's not that easy. Yes,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: he deserves a significant rays. Can they afford given his
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: position and even given his production, can they afford to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: make him a twenty million dollar guy? I mean, I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: think they would be very amenable the sixteen seventeen something
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in that range. But it's not as easy as just
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: saying an exclamation points pay the guy, pay the guy,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: because you've got other things to do, and and you
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: can't completely structure around this guy. So you know, I
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: don't know that they're going to find the number very quickly.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: That makes sense for both. Although when you say that, Frank,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the public and I know you take these calls too,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: can't figure out why you wouldn't pay him. It's easy,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: he's a great player, but you still can't pay him.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: You can't necessarily pay him whatever he wants, because then
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you're paying everybody whatever they want. Here's the one thing
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that's happened, not only to the public, but I think
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it's acts. It's happened with the even with Unique, with
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the agent, with the world, the five hundred and five
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that Frank Clark got him Lawrence got because that's so public,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: because that number became so public and it was just
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: like the same exact thing five and and so just
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Sacks alone, and God's got better staff than those guys.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: So people have done the math and said, well, that's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: what he's got to be paid. Let'sten the conversation, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that's where the public is. And I think that's probably
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: where Unique is. And I think I know that's where
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: his agent is. And I think every team JP values
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a guy at X. That's help, that's their job. They've
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: got a whole team full of scouts and topologist who
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: have to value a guy. And you value a guy
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: at X. And no matter how many people think it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: why if you think it's actually you have a tough
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: time getting there my sentence. And I don't know this.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: You guys would know better than I, but my guess
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is Unique Camp is in the two range. The Jaguars
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: are in the seventeen to nineteen range, regardless of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: public thinks. And let me be clear, I don't know
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: any of this from either side. I'm just suguessing that
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that's where we are. And Unique does not strike me
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: as a guy that would hold out. He does not,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: just so, and I think the challenges guy is. I
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: think agent, the business side of his team is saying
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: you gotta do this. You know what, He's not here
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this week. He's got a ship. This is all posturing,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: he's got a show. Hey, don't take advantage because I'm
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a nice guy. He's got to prove that he'll stay away.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to stay away, he had to. This
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: was his camp, proving that he'll stay, making him prove
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that he'll stay away. I don't think he misses camp.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: My guess is he They do find some ground, but
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's maybe less than Joe Public and Unique.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Things might be a little bit more than the team
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: wanted to go, and I think they find ground before
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: they play games. I definitely think this is headed for
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a compromise solution. I don't think the Jaguars are gonna
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: offer Frank Clark DeMarcus Lawrence contract. I just don't don't.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be the because they would
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: have done about it. I don't they were going. I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be a hundred million dollar man.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a little bit closer to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: d Ford, a little bit closer to Trey Flowers, to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: ninety million dollar neighborhood. If I had to take a guest. Now, uh,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you know, we don't know how much Unique gives into
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: what his agent is advising him. We don't. We don't
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: those are the dynamics that we don't know about. Uh.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I think it would be great if the Jaguars could
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: get this done before training camp. But keep in mind, UM,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and I know these weren't the exact same circumstances, but
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: when Jimmy Smith and Maurice Jones Drew had thirty eight
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: day holdouts different situations. They were coming off multiple Pro
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Bowl seasons, had two years left on their deals. The
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: owners were not happy that they were holding out. At
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the at the time, Shod con sped about Maurice Jones Drew,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Wayne Weaver said it about Jimmy Smith. Uh compromise solution
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: on Jimmy Smith got a little bit more money, hard
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: line on Jones Drew running back did not did not
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: get a dime more. Uh. So it's gonna be very
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: interesting to see how this plays out. And I don't
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: think it will play out well in the locker room
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: if it ends up being a franchise tag situation. JP this.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: We have this guy Joe Corey on our show. Joe's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: like this capologist CBS fourts I think, but that's that's
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: kind of his thing, and he was pounding the pulpit. Man,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you're not getting in front of twenty million, you're not
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: getting a year, you're not getting under twenty a year,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you're not getting und twenty per year. Well, I don't
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: know if Joe Corey knows they're not. But the point
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: is that perception is so out there. Do you almost
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: get the impression? To Jean's point, would other players on
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: this team and others almost be disappointed and Unique if
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you took less than that? Even if that's not the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: real value, John, that's the perceived value. And does he
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: have this? Is there a code of honor that he's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: got to not cave for less than that to help
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the next Yeah, And I think that's why it's got
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: potential to last into the season and beyond. The intriguing
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: thing to me is if it lasting to the season
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and beyond, I agree with you guys. I think Unique
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: will come in even if it's not done because of this.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: If what he doesn't want to do is not come in,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: go into next season with a week of training camp,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: not be the player that he has been, have a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: seven sacks season next year, or get hurt either of
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: those two things. Because he's an undersized guy and because
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: he's been right around that, he's never had that sixteen
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: sacks season where it's a no brainer to pay him
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: what he wants. So he really can't afford to risk
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: not having a big year next year if he doesn't
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: know hard to have a deal done, because then it
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: will hurts negotiate power, either with this team or another team.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I think he also has to understand that. Listen, if
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you sign an, if you get your long term extension
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: on you know, July or August eighth, whatever it is,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be a little bit it's gonna
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: be a little bit of a discount than what you
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: would get if you were on the open market. I mean,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: it just is, you know, assuming that you would have
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a productive year this year. So and we also know
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: who the next guy is. The next guy is gonna
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: be Jalen, and Jalen I think, is gonna get his
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: He he won't crack the centry mark, I think, but
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: you know he might have to go through a twenty
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: million dollar franchise tag one year to be able to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: get to that mark. Jayalen, the other days we did, Hey,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: they're gonna put me on a Layoway. I'm gonna get
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: so much money. Good stuff. Final thought quickly summer plans,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: John quick, Uh, probably, we haven't really decided yet, and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: probably doing some work around the house and just trying
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to Chella. I think the big trip is gonna be
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: yellow Yellowstone, yellow wherever we call it, um, that's called Yellowstone.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: You know Tatons they called Titans. We have Titans and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Yellowstone in Montana. I don't know what you do there,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: but that's where the wife wanted to go. So Yellowstone, Titons,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Montana and whatever the heck you do out there, that's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the big trip. Gino, Well, I already took one trip.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I missed the week of ot As going to Cosha Yankees.

  Speaker 1: with my son and the wife. Last week I went
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to Vermont for three days. That was the big vacation trip.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I will I will get another vacation here sometime next month,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: but it's going to be more of a staycation than
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: a vacation. You got. We can't even compete with your
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: trips Texas. I don't like sitting your time in this
