1:31

1:33

Those guys yah, yeah, yeah, But I mean the other leftover

1:36

guys, the guys that are

1:38

still kind of hanging out for a little bit. I

1:41

was looking at my watch, going, uh, guys, I gotta

1:43

go. You don't have to go far, which

1:45

is a good night. I didn't have to go far about this building.

1:48

And so yeah, busy week. Players

1:50

are back. There is today Balky

1:52

and Peterson speaking today, and we're

1:55

a week to the draft, and there's a

1:57

lot to discuss today. It's a it's

1:59

a it's a cool time year for the NFL because

2:02

you know, this is the Hope

2:04

Springs Eternal. I guess he's saying

2:07

that you could kind of use for this time of year because

2:10

every team is kind of getting started with the

2:12

off season stuff, and so there's a little bit of

2:14

excitement that builds in every community that

2:16

these NFL teams are at. And

2:19

then also with the draft, right around the corner. That

2:21

provides hope for a lot of teams that haven't been that

2:23

good that hey, look, maybe this year we can

2:25

really get some good players to where we can

2:27

we can compete, We can compete

2:29

for a title, including this team.

2:32

So it's a fun time of

2:35

year to be an NFL fan because

2:37

you're not losing. Everybody's

2:39

good. Everybody's got a hope. Yeah,

2:42

most everybody who doesn't

2:44

namely one team that doesn't have hope Cardinals.

2:49

Yeah, that's true, there's one.

2:52

Gosh, what's going on? I mean, are you following what's

2:54

going on with uh with Terry McDonough

2:58

Bill, Well, No, he's not soon everybody. He's

3:00

just he's going to go after the Cardinals.

3:03

Bidwell, I mean some of the things that are coming out, all

3:05

that kind of stuff. If people haven't read it, I

3:08

mean, go read about the Cardinals

3:10

and Terry McDonough who I

3:12

know Terry. He was here for a period

3:14

of time with the Jaguars, and

3:16

he filed a grievance against against

3:18

the Cardinals, which it's his right

3:20

to do that, that's how the system

3:22

is set up. And then the Cardinals came at him

3:24

with almost a personal attack and

3:28

which found was found by an

3:30

in house person that looks

3:33

at those things for the NFL founds

3:35

to be true and they

3:38

were bad mouthed and Terry as

3:40

his family. I mean, it's just a bad

3:43

thing. Yeah. So that was the first team that popped

3:45

in my head that might not have a we'll

3:48

see, well, if you got bidwell running the show, Yeah

3:50

you've got you don't have a whole lot of chance of winning football

3:52

games in Arizona.

3:53

Let's get to a team that does have a chance,

3:55

and this is Jacksonville Jaguars, of course,

3:57

and the GM Trent balk and head coach Dog

4:00

Peterson speaking earlier today at

4:02

a press conference at two o'clock here at the Miller of Electric

4:04

Center, the pre draft media lunch and

4:06

Trent Bulkey discussing trade possibilities

4:09

from number seventeen.

4:13

There's a lot, as.

4:13

You know, that goes into it. You know, we feel

4:16

good about the group that's there, you

4:19

know, at different positions. You

4:21

know that we're focused in on a little

4:23

bit, but you don't know what's

4:25

going to happen, you know, you don't You

4:28

really aren't going to know what we're going to do until maybe

4:30

the twelfth or thirteenth pick, you

4:32

know, and then we'll we'll

4:34

look at the opportunity to potentially move

4:37

up, you know, and if we get to sixteen,

4:39

like we did last year, and somebody

4:41

calls and there's a chance to move back one or

4:43

two, you know, you just don't know's

4:46

you're playing it on game day.

4:49

So he mentioned last year. It actually

4:51

last year logs, the Jags moved back

4:53

twice in the first round before picking

4:56

Anton Harrison in the first round

4:58

the right tackle, and it is. It happened

5:00

a number of times, in fact, eight different

5:02

times, eight different drafts. The Jaguars

5:05

have first round.

5:06

Trade history, either up or down

5:09

or trading back into the first round,

5:11

starting way back in ninety five, they started

5:14

thirty first overall with a supplemental pick.

5:16

They obviously had the number two pick that year with Bisselli,

5:19

but they had a later pick and moved up to nineteenth overall

5:21

in that draft to get James Stewart. Rob Johnson

5:24

traded a Buffalo to get the ninth overall

5:26

pick. Of course, in ninety eight Fred Taylor two

5:29

thousand and seven, Reggie Nelson was

5:31

the pick when the Jags moved down

5:33

to twenty one two thousand and eight. Derek

5:35

Harvey was the pick. They moved up to eighth to

5:37

get him. Twenty eleven, Blaine Gabbert

5:40

moved up to tenth to get him. From sixteen

5:42

twenty twelve, moved up from seven to five

5:44

to get Justin Blackman, and then a

5:47

trade up back into the first round in twenty two to

5:49

get Devin Lloyd and as we mentioned Anton

5:51

Harris from last year. Leave that graphic up

5:53

for a minute Jaguars dot Com free video.

5:56

If you look at that graphic

5:58

and you say, okay, what

6:01

can be learned from this? What

6:05

do you take away from that graphic? Because

6:07

you know, hindsight's always twenty twenty, but you

6:09

know, look, you sometimes have to use hindsight

6:12

to be able to learn about

6:14

what not to do or what to do in the future.

6:16

I see James Stewart had

6:19

some big moments here. Fred Taylor

6:21

certainly did.

6:22

Well. That's not really I mean, that wasn't a trade

6:24

active trade during the draft process. That was

6:26

okay, So I don't consider that. I'm talking

6:28

about trading up or down in the first round.

6:31

It costs you a lot to move up, I know, well,

6:33

and also look, you trade it up

6:35

to get James Stewart, Okay, good football

6:38

player, solid guy, I

6:40

mean, great guy. Was it ultra

6:43

productive? No? Reggie

6:45

Nelson seventeenth and you moved to twenty

6:48

first offs trade back, but then you

6:50

moved up to the eighth spot overall for Derek

6:52

Harvey. That did not work out. It

6:54

did not work out for Blain Gabbert. But I get

6:56

it. You're taking a shot at a quarterback. Sometimes

6:58

you have to do that. You traded up

7:01

to get Justin Blackman. It didn't pay

7:03

any dividends, okay, and then

7:05

you also, uh with Devin Lloyd.

7:07

You traded up to get Devon And right now,

7:09

if you if you're making an opinion

7:11

on that, is was that a success

7:14

or was that just kind of Eh? I think

7:16

we're still the jury is still still being determined.

7:18

But right now, if you had to make a decision on

7:20

it, you would say, eh, it's not wasn't

7:22

a great It wasn't a great trade, but it's not done yet.

7:25

And then you know, to trade back and

7:27

to get Anton Harrison, you acquired so many

7:29

extra pixel The lesson is to me is

7:31

that trading up is not necessarily

7:34

a positive thing. And Trent Balkey alluded to that.

7:36

In this press conference today, he said, Look, the

7:39

analytics guys will tell you that

7:41

trading up is never a

7:43

good thing, and he's right. I

7:46

just unless you're going up

7:48

to get a quarterback. In

7:51

my opinion, for every other position,

7:53

you just stay put where you are, or you try

7:55

to move back and

7:58

then take the best available player,

8:00

not a guy that well he might be the best player,

8:02

but we got a need there. No take

8:05

the best available player always, in

8:07

my.

8:07

Opinion, unless you know for a fact,

8:10

in your heart of hearts, that the guy you're moving

8:12

up for another position is a Hall of Fame talent,

8:15

right.

8:15

And how do you really know? You don't know that.

8:17

You don't know that. But if you haven't know

8:19

that, if you as a percentage of game,

8:22

it's a percentage of game, you

8:24

know. So you've got Aaron Donald sitting there

8:27

waiting on you. But that is coming out from

8:29

Pittsburgh, JP. I watched the film on him,

8:31

and I'm sitting there watching the film and I'm going and he's really

8:33

good. He's got quickness, he's got

8:36

sudden this. But man, he's kind

8:38

of small. I mean, like

8:40

I said, I watched the film on him. I didn't

8:43

see Hall of Fame guy. I watched the

8:45

film on t J. Watt and

8:47

I was like, and I don't think he's the first rounder. He's probably

8:49

a second rounder. He's one of the

8:51

best players in the league right now. You

8:53

know, So again, it's a percentage of game. But

8:56

you know, when I watched the defensive end in Cleveland,

9:01

hands down, this guy is a super freak. No

9:03

doubt, this guy is a Hall of Fame type of

9:06

talent. I mean, but I mean, so that's one of the guys

9:08

that I probably watched. When I watched

9:10

Clowney coming out, I was like, Clowney,

9:12

this guy can do everything. He's sudden, he's

9:15

violent, he can play anywhere,

9:17

he can be moved around. I

9:19

don't know if he's a great pass rusher saw me. My evaluation

9:22

on him was pretty fairly

9:24

accurate. It wasn't perfect because I thought that he

9:26

would be more of an impact throughout

9:28

his career. But one of those guys

9:30

it's just you know, freakish. And so again,

9:33

because it's a percentage of game, I don't ever

9:35

think that you go into any pick saying this

9:38

guy's a Hall of Famer. It

9:41

just doesn't work that way. The

9:43

other part a lot of conversations

9:45

they have about a thirty minute at plus press conference

9:47

today for Trim Balke and Doug Peterson.

9:49

But he talked about the different variables

9:52

that you look at when scouting in prospect.

9:54

One of those is football IQ

9:57

and how do you scout

10:00

that as a GM and a scouting staff.

10:03

You know, we zoom call these guys. We

10:05

send coaches to workouts, we send

10:07

coaches to meet with them, We bring them

10:09

in on the thirty visit. We get in front of them

10:12

as much as we can every opportunity

10:14

we get a chance to talk to a guy that we have

10:16

concerns about, we do. We

10:19

interview them at the Combine, We interview them

10:21

at the All Star Games, we

10:23

interview them at their pro days. We

10:25

get as much time in front of them as we can. The

10:27

coaches make calls to the to the coaches

10:30

that work with these players.

10:32

You know, you gather as much as you can,

10:35

you know, and so and usually by

10:37

the time you get to the draft, you got them pretty well

10:40

figured out from that perspective. And

10:42

sometimes guys come in and they fool you,

10:44

you know, and you can't just use test scores to

10:47

say a guy can learn or can't learn that doesn't

10:49

work. There's guys that have had low test scores

10:51

that learn extremely well.

10:54

There's guys that have had high test scores that don't learn

10:56

very well when it comes to football. So

10:58

you just got you just got to do your homework.

11:00

And we know from the past around

11:02

here, at least the recent past, that Doug Peterson

11:04

from a coaching perspective, needs that high

11:07

football IQ type of player, and

11:10

certainly in those skill positions at wide receiver

11:12

when guys are moving and routes

11:15

can change mid play and you've got

11:17

to be on and know everything going on.

11:19

And I think it's pretty unique. My

11:21

experiences in the league for being

11:23

around it for a long time as a player

11:25

and then as an analyst,

11:28

is that there are different kinds of smarts.

11:31

I mean, you don't necessarily have to have a player

11:33

who is book smart to be smart

11:36

in football or to have football IQ. I

11:38

mean, some of the smartest guys

11:40

I was ever around, some of

11:42

them weren't book smart, but man a new

11:44

football and they

11:47

had that instinct, that anticipation

11:49

when they played the game that

11:52

other guys that were smart and

11:54

could test okay on

11:56

paper outstanding,

11:59

but you put them in that moment, and they

12:01

just it didn't. It didn't function,

12:03

It didn't it didn't compute

12:06

for them. So I think Trent

12:08

is spot on when he talks about how

12:10

there's different kinds of football

12:12

smarts and you

12:14

know, and and the one thing that I would do if if

12:17

I was a gym, and I'm sure that this football team

12:19

probably does it, I would think that they would,

12:22

is that you're getting

12:25

ready to invest in the in the draft. Okay,

12:27

JP, this year's draft

12:30

class. What's the total amount that this team

12:32

has to spend for this draft class?

12:34

Ballpark? Do you know? Ten

12:36

or something? Ten to ten? But it's ten

12:38

million? But I mean contracts overall.

12:41

If you added up the total value of

12:43

the contract, it's what is

12:45

it, one hundred million? I

12:47

mean it's expensive. There's a lot of

12:49

money cheap. So if you're getting

12:52

ready to invest millions

12:54

of dollars, would you hire

12:57

a quote person

13:00

to vet, to do background

13:03

research, to investigate

13:06

everything that you could find about the prospects

13:08

that you say, Hey, look we like these guys.

13:10

Let's know, let's get to know more about them.

13:13

I'm private eye, I mean whatever you want to call. I

13:16

would want to know everything about

13:19

these guys. If I'm getting ready to drop millions

13:21

of dollars down in an investment and

13:24

to bring in to my locker

13:26

room guys that I know could have

13:28

a big impact, and then they also could have a bad

13:31

impact. I want to know as much

13:33

as I can. And I'm not saying that you need to

13:35

have sherlock homes guys

13:37

in there like doing this wire tapping

13:39

and things all that. No, and

13:41

no I'm not talking that smart. I

13:44

know that was awesome the shoe phone, the shoe phone,

13:46

pull that out. But to

13:48

the point of that, you you try to

13:50

pursue every relationship,

13:53

every avenue that you possibly can to

13:55

investigate somebody's background that

13:58

you're going to be investing millions in, And

14:00

not so much because of the dollar amount, but

14:02

because if you if you mess

14:04

up and somebody's a bad person,

14:07

you've lost an opportunity to improve

14:10

your team. So I would think

14:13

when Trent talks about you know, you're talking

14:15

to all these people and that's

14:18

all part of that vetting process and

14:20

doing the background work to find

14:23

out who that person is

14:25

at its core.

14:26

Plitting ahead, we'll hear from the head coach, Doug

14:28

Peterson. We'll hear from Trevor Lawrence on

14:31

the contract discussions.

14:33

That's all ahead.

14:34

We're on tendonextlam, Jaguars dot

14:36

Com, Jaguars YouTube, JP Shatwick

14:39

with Jeff Logoman and Jaguars Happy

14:41

Hour is brought to you by the Saint John's River

14:43

Water Management District. Florida's

14:45

water It's worth saving.

14:59

There's definitely been some conversations, you

15:02

know, as far as where that's at now, it's not really

15:05

my focus. You know. I'd love to love

15:07

to obviously be a jag so for

15:10

as long as possible. We love it here and I

15:12

love where we're headed as an organization and feel

15:14

like I'm just getting better every

15:16

year and my best ball is definitely ahead of me. So

15:19

from that standpoint, obviously, yeah, that that would

15:21

be great. But like I said, it's going into

15:23

my fourth year. It's not like this

15:26

is necessarily gonna be my my last season. You know, There's

15:28

a lot that could happen, So not

15:31

really my focus right now. At the end of the day, my job

15:33

isn't gonna change whether I get extended

15:35

or not before this season. My job

15:37

is to go win games and to be the best I can

15:40

be for this team so we can have a chance to win a Super

15:42

Bowl. So even

15:44

if I get the contract extension,

15:46

that's still my job even more so, you know, he's even

15:49

more expectation and pressure on that. So

15:51

for me, I have the same focus, in the same

15:53

mindset.

15:55

I can't lie.

15:55

Obviously, it would be nice to have to have that done

15:57

and you know, feel good about it, but no,

16:00

it's not.

16:00

Really the focus right now.

16:01

I know where we're at, I know where we're heading, and I know what I have to

16:03

do, and you know, there's some improvements that I have to make

16:05

going forward.

16:06

That is Trevor Lawrence earlier this

16:09

week discussing the contract negotiations

16:12

and welcome back Shaguar's Happy Hour, brought to

16:14

you by the Saint John's River Water Management

16:16

District, Florida's water it's

16:18

worth saving and

16:21

whether you need air, electric or plumbing

16:23

service, Donovan is always.

16:25

A good call.

16:26

They've been trusted by their customers for almost

16:28

forty years. Trust them to deliver a fast,

16:31

reliable service to your home.

16:34

Well. Trent Balkey today discussed

16:37

the other side of those conversations

16:40

real quick though, let me just throw out there, because

16:42

you know Trevor's conversation about his contract

16:45

and me and you were having a conversation during a break

16:47

and that they have the opportunity to pick up the fifth year

16:49

option in May, and May second is the deadline

16:51

for both of the first round draft picks that

16:53

year. It'd be him and Travis etn

16:56

And because

16:59

Trevor is in and his party

17:01

and Trent talked about how they're

17:03

having conversations with Trevor's people as

17:05

we talked about that this recently is last night,

17:08

yep. And so I was going to make

17:10

the suggestion to Trevor because you see a lot

17:12

of these NFL players that are doing that now that

17:14

they stopped following the team on social media.

17:17

And so Triv's going to say to Trevor, you know, he needs to

17:19

stop following the Jaguars, you

17:21

know, remove any kind of Jaguars logos from

17:23

the social media accounts until he gets

17:25

a new contract. Is that the not the dumbest

17:27

thing you've ever heard? How people do that?

17:30

It was just stupid. It's

17:33

childish. Who was the latest guy that just

17:35

did that? I can't remember who it was. I was reading somewhere.

17:38

Didn't Jalen do that too?

17:41

And such a childish

17:43

clown act? I mean, come, on. Are

17:45

you serious, boy,

17:47

that's really gonna change this posture

17:50

of the negotiations if

17:52

you remove your team from

17:54

your social media account. Come on.

17:57

get it in today, I believe before midnightety

18:18

I voted last week. Thank you for that. We appreciate

18:20

that.

18:21

Let's continue with the Jaguars

18:23

head coach, who was also at the podium today alongside

18:26

Trent Balkey. And you

18:29

know, I was asked a lot about the working

18:32

together, the cooperation between

18:34

scouting and coaching, and it

18:36

continues here in twenty twenty four.

18:39

It as far as you know, our involvement is

18:42

a staff myself, it's

18:44

it's the best.

18:45

I've been around.

18:46

It's one of the things that Trent really has been

18:49

open to to, you know, the evaluation

18:52

process from the coaches right, and he

18:54

understands the coaching side of it as

18:56

well as the scouting.

18:57

Side of it.

18:58

And in the involved

19:00

has been you know, it's the same every

19:02

year. It's probably even gotten a little bit more,

19:04

you know, just the more comfortable that we are working

19:07

together. And and you

19:10

know, it's it takes everybody,

19:12

you know, to put a roster together, and it's

19:14

not about one guy making all the decisions

19:16

right and and so there's a lot of input. He

19:20

values what the coaches say and how the

19:22

coaches ranked and stack players just

19:25

like you know, you know, we appreciate what the scouts

19:27

do because they're the ones that are out there, you know, every

19:29

single day scouting these players. So it's

19:32

been a really good process and one

19:34

that one that uh, as

19:37

a coach, you know, you can really appreciate.

19:38

All right.

19:39

So that's Doug Peterson's perspective and

19:41

response about that today

19:43

at the press conference. Full press conference

19:46

available at Jaguars dot com.

19:48

And this is an interesting time of year because.

19:49

Players are back in off season program, so

19:52

you've got to balance what you're doing with them

19:54

for at least a few hours a day and getting the you

19:56

know, everything the new defense going

19:59

and all this go on strength and conditioning

20:01

right now, and then you're getting ready for the

20:03

draft as well. And you're contributing

20:05

to that process. So for a head coach, there's

20:07

a lot of this play well.

20:09

And they also talked

20:11

a little bit during the press conference

20:13

because now that you have a new defense and a

20:16

new defensive coordinator, for

20:19

example, pass coaches here

20:21

in the past, Mike Smith wanted a certain type

20:23

of corner, wanted a certain type

20:25

of defensive linemen. Hey,

20:27

Gus Bradley wanted the length corners,

20:30

you know, the tall, long kind of guys,

20:32

kind of like what they had in Seattle back

20:34

in the day. Mike Caldwell

20:37

wanted corners that could place a man. Okay,

20:40

what does Ryan want?

20:43

You know? You know then, so

20:45

there's been these conversations. According today

20:47

Tent Trent said that they had a conversation.

20:49

Last name Ryan Nielsen, right, the new defensive

20:52

coordinator, and him

20:54

and Trent had a conversation about the type of players

20:56

that he wants to have for his defense. And

20:59

then also Trent alluded to the fact that it's

21:01

kind of comes a little bit from that mindset of the parcels

21:04

camps of trends that he has experienced kind

21:06

of looking for those types that Nielsen

21:09

is looking for. But that's important

21:11

because coaches always want to have a

21:14

certain skill set at every position group

21:16

in their mind that's going to be able to function to

21:18

make it all work together. So it'll

21:21

be interesting to see a lot

21:23

of things on the defensive side of the ball this year. Number

21:25

one is the draft and how they draft and what

21:27

type of players are they going to be targeting. But

21:30

then also what's that the targeted

21:32

players, how are they going to fit into this new scheme?

21:34

Because you know, we we think we know what the scheme

21:36

is going to be, we don't know for sure because

21:39

every time, even though a defensive coordinator may

21:41

move from Team A to Team B, a

21:43

lot of times the staff that he has from

21:46

Team A to Team B will change and

21:49

sometimes a little bit of that scheme

21:51

will change along with it because of input

21:53

from others. So it'll

21:55

be fun to watch to see all of that come together again.

21:58

The full press conference from today available at

22:00

Jaguars dot com. Let's rewind a little

22:02

bit back to Tuesday. It was

22:04

Tuesday, right, Today's Thursday.

22:06

Today is Thursday, all day? Right, Every

22:09

Thursday, we do this show all

22:11

day. It's Thursday, not all day just well, no, the

22:13

show's an hour four to five this time, but twenty

22:16

four hours. It's Thursday, but two days ago was

22:18

Tuesday, and that's when Trevor Lawrence we just

22:20

heard from a moment ago and Fourier

22:22

lu Khan, the Jaguars linebackers

22:24

spoken as you said, logs a little different

22:27

on defense, new coordinator, some new

22:29

faces there. But for Fourier

22:31

Lukhn he's been around here for a couple of years now.

22:33

He's trying to make that transition as well.

22:35

There's a lot of new However, he's.

22:37

Not putting away the disappointment of the

22:40

disappointment of last season so

22:42

easily.

22:44

That would be in a rearview maybe next year

22:46

after this season. I mean, I

22:48

got a lot of questions on it throughout the offseason, and

22:51

it's hard to think about.

22:54

This win.

22:54

It even started. We started off winning,

22:56

but we weren't winning convincingly. How maybe

22:59

the score mightish, but we knew that we weren't

23:01

playing our best football, and I think a lot

23:03

of those things caught up to us. And then trying to right

23:06

our wrongs a little too late in the season. Then it's

23:08

a little bit more stressful when teams are hitting their stride

23:10

and we're trying to find out how to do things

23:12

right. Yeah, that

23:15

hurt for sure, and I think it will fewel us. Everybody's

23:18

committed to doing things right this time around.

23:22

You know, you don't want to say we don't

23:24

want to get in that position again. And it starts from

23:26

the first game all the way to the last, you know, but

23:29

just keep it improving every week, no

23:31

matter who this scoreboard is, you know, keeping our

23:33

standard every week, because sometimes you win games

23:36

that you didn't play your best. Now you don't learn

23:38

from them if you're not trying to get better. I

23:40

think that kind of happened to us, and we're not going to do that

23:42

this year.

23:42

Foyer, look can pretty telling answer about

23:44

how things were last year. That might be the

23:46

most relaxed I've ever seen him

23:48

in front of the camera. Usually he's so intense.

23:51

Yeah, he's kind of relaxed.

23:54

It's that time of year though. I get I got this

23:56

part of it.

23:57

But maybe the environment's a little different too,

23:59

right, maybe not going on the last couple of

24:01

years.

24:01

Maybe as he alluded to there it

24:04

Uh, you know, Foy is a super smart

24:06

guy. You know we were talking earlier about football, like

24:08

Q you want to talk about football like you? That

24:10

guy right there if

24:12

there was a way to mine

24:16

or to withdraw some of

24:18

that football IQ and share it with the rest of the

24:20

team, or yeah, like

24:22

you'd like take blood out of him, you know, because

24:24

it's got all that football IQ transfusion.

24:27

I mean, he's just he's incredible. I

24:29

mean literally, when you watch the film on him, he

24:31

is always stepping

24:34

in the direction that the play is going before the

24:36

play is actually going in that direction. It's amazing

24:38

to watch he he is Darryl

24:42

Smith in Jaguars

24:45

history. I'm talking about special inside linebackers

24:47

that I really enjoyed watching. First of all, I love

24:49

the motor of Mike Peterson, Okay,

24:52

and the guy was just, you know, one hundred miles an hour all the

24:54

time. Darryl Smith. The consistency,

24:56

the strength, the the

24:59

such a rounded game that he could

25:01

play, the mic, the sam the will,

25:03

it didn't matter whatever should have left Jacksonville.

25:06

That's never it was. That was one of the dumbest decisions

25:08

in Jaguars history, was letting him go anyway.

25:11

But how watching Foyer on film

25:13

is pure joy. You can look at

25:16

his seventy fifth snap of a game and compare

25:18

it to his first snap, and he's still playing at the same

25:20

speed. I don't know how anybody can do that. But

25:23

watching the anticipation that he plays the

25:25

game with is fun to watch

25:27

and it's impressive to watch. I think that

25:29

the people that know football and can really and

25:32

people that have played the game that like me, that

25:35

are watching a guy like that, that says

25:37

something that he's fun to watch just because

25:39

of that standpoint, the intelligence

25:41

that he plays this game at in

25:44

that realm too. Oh my god, Paul's yeah.

25:47

But Paul was one

25:49

of those guys that he just never wasted a

25:51

step. So he would wait

25:53

and then he was just, you know,

25:55

gone, But he never wasted steps.

25:58

He didn't anticipate as much as Foyer

26:01

does. To some extent, he was good,

26:03

but not quite as fast with

26:05

that first step. Now, Telvin Smith was

26:08

always one step behind, but he was so dag

26:11

him fast getting there, or he would

26:13

run ahead of it and catch back

26:15

up because he was so fast. He was amazing

26:17

just the speed that he played the game at. But I mean

26:20

pause, Darryl Smith and

26:22

Foyer, I mean those guys,

26:25

I mean, that's that's the elite class

26:27

in Jaguars history. I mean, some really really

26:30

good players and the other fun

26:32

part about I know Paul and because

26:34

Leslie enjoyed this, was that

26:36

he had eleven interceptions. Well

26:39

he was there as well. Yeah, one of them. That tells

26:41

you he's back in coverage and reading

26:43

things right. And maybe what's the way you remember the

26:45

most Oh, Peyton Manning right, and

26:48

he had the love

26:50

or something on his hand, the weird was going

26:52

on something, have something going on with his hand and he

26:55

early in the game picks it off and takes it to

26:57

the house.

26:58

But that takes That tells you he's the quarterback.

27:00

He's back in coverage. He's athletic enough

27:02

to do all that too. And that's football.

27:05

IQ pause.

27:06

I used to love hearing Gus Bradley

27:09

say pause. It was puzz It

27:11

was never pause.

27:13

Speaking of Gus Bradley. Side note here before

27:15

we go to break, Yesterday was the

27:17

Jags local pro day where

27:20

they have local prospects from maybe schools

27:22

around here or they grew up here with Carter Bradley,

27:25

and Carter Bradley quarterback was

27:27

here, Gus's son.

27:28

Yeah he's a prospect. He's a possible

27:31

draft pick, maybe late

27:33

round pick, possibly undrafted

27:35

guy, but yeah,

27:38

he's a diehard fisherman Carter

27:40

Bradley is so yeah

27:43

when he was here. You know, he's a young man, so

27:45

he's grown up. He's grown up, no doubt

27:47

about it.

27:48

The Jags are celebrating their thirtieth

27:50

season and the time to get your twenty twenty

27:52

four season ticket membership well

27:55

29:04

We're a week away from the first round,

29:07

a week from tonight, looking forward to it. We'll be in

29:09

the stadium.

29:09

Who do you think is gonna be the first overall pick? JP? It's

29:11

kind of a big mystery, is it. That's

29:14

the Southern cal quarterback we're talking about.

29:17

Williams is going. Okay, Who's gonna go second? Just

29:19

trivia for you? Probably

29:22

another quarterback? What do you think Jayden Daniels?

29:24

Probably, I would say probably who's

29:27

picking second? I don't even know. In

29:29

Washington, I'll

29:31

probably go May I

29:34

take May two, and then there'll be

29:36

probably Daniels right after that. It's my guess.

29:38

Yeah. Yeah. His accuracy this past

29:41

year was was pretty incredible. Touchdown

29:43

interception ratio was good. He's athletic.

29:45

Yeah, he's gonna be fun to watch him. But

29:47

man, May he's got that those

29:51

numbers, you know, I mean, sometimes in the numbers

29:53

you can't let them overrule

29:56

the performance. But

29:58

when you watch his tape, he's

30:01

got that that height that you know

30:03

that you can see he can he's got a he's

30:05

got a big arm, he's a big guy. I

30:08

mean, he's kind of that prototypical

30:10

NFL quarterback. I just I'd

30:12

be surprised if he doesn't go second.

30:15

But you never know, you never know.

30:17

We'll find out a week from tonight and we'll be

30:19

at the official Dove All Draft

30:21

Party at the Bank, presented

30:23

by Donovan Air, Electric and Plumbing, and

30:25

30:37

That's right me, Frank big Beselli and

30:41

I think you're gonna come on with us for a little bit. I'll

30:43

hop in there when I can.

30:44

And then we've got coverage leading

30:47

into eight o'clock pre

30:49

pregame coverage if you will, and then right

30:52

after the pick, we'll have live coverage and all

30:54

that on Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars

30:56

Social media. All right,

30:59

so it's time to keep

31:01

it real, as

31:03

we always do insert

31:05

sponsor here. So

31:09

our topic today, three

31:12

positions the Jaguars should

31:14

pick up this week or

31:17

next week rather in the draft, there's a for whatever

31:19

they will pick them up, whatever three positions

31:21

they should draft this year, go

31:24

top.

31:25

Three and you want them ranked. I want them ranked.

31:27

I mean right now, if you do it as far as needs

31:29

go, corner I would put at the top, just

31:31

because Darius Williams is no longer

31:34

round. This is a passing

31:36

league, and right now you need some help in

31:38

the back end. You got a pretty good amount

31:41

of depth and quality of play at safety, but

31:44

corner is where you need help.

31:46

And you've been trying to get some late round picks

31:48

to hit over the last couple of years, but really nobody

31:51

has risen to the front. So I

31:54

think that's number one. Number two I would

31:57

say is offensive line, interior

31:59

or out side. I

32:01

think either one because and then having a

32:03

guy that can have some flexibility

32:05

maybe play inside and then eventually move

32:07

outside or vice versa, I

32:10

think is great. You've

32:12

got to protect from the franchise, and the franchise

32:14

is your quarterback, Trevor Lawrence. And last

32:17

year you had a deficiency on how

32:19

physical you were up front, and that

32:21

needs to be addressed. In my opinion. I have

32:23

a question side note question. We'll get

32:25

to number three in a moment.

32:26

Yeah, what's wrong with having

32:30

a guy that plays one position and

32:32

you know that's solidified for ten years.

32:34

Nothing wrong with that at all, because

32:37

you can move somebody else if somebody else has some positional

32:39

flexibility.

32:40

I guess that guy is hard to find. Obviously,

32:43

which one Which guy's hard for? The one guy who's

32:45

there for ten years that you know is a rock and

32:47

solid and is going to be a franchise.

32:49

Well, well, I mean, Joe Alt's going to be a rock

32:52

ten years on tackle. I mean what he's

32:54

not swinging around? And again, nothing's set in

32:56

stone because if you remember, I

32:59

remember going back to my

33:01

draft classed I think it was, and the

33:04

front page of the Sports Illustrated was

33:07

future Hall of Famer Tony Manderich

33:09

and people are like, this guy's a shoeing

33:12

of the Hall of Fame. He's going to be the

33:14

next great offensive lineman.

33:17

And it

33:20

didn't happen, you know, I mean, the

33:22

steroids thing kind of came out. He

33:26

was an average player at best. I mean, but

33:28

he was an average player. I mean, so it's not like

33:30

he was a poor player, but

33:32

I mean it's one of those things it's hard to find

33:34

somebody that's going to do that. But Joe Alt

33:37

from Notre Dame is a guy.

33:39

If he's available seventeen, JP, i'd probably

33:41

take him. He's not going to be available

33:44

at seventeen like.

33:45

Cam Robinson, right first pick of the second round,

33:47

and I mean he's been the left tackle

33:50

for I would tell.

33:51

It, look, the position's

33:53

corner offensive line. And then the third

33:55

one, I'm gonna just throw it out there because I'm

33:57

not going to give it a specific position because

34:00

it can be on the inside or it can be on the outside.

34:03

You got to have somebody that can rush the

34:05

passer, and right now, I think you don't

34:07

have a lot of depth on the edge.

34:10

If you can get another edge rusher by

34:13

all means, if look if LA two's

34:15

there at seventeen, I mean there's some you were drooling

34:17

about it last guy and I told you about it. He's

34:19

just crazy good. Jared Verse Florida

34:22

State would be my second best

34:25

edge rusher. Love them. And

34:28

then you have some some of the smaller guys

34:30

that I don't put in those two

34:32

categories. The kid at Alabama,

34:35

Dallas Turner, I believe his name is. There's

34:38

a kid at Penn State that's pretty

34:40

good. A chop, no chops

34:43

two. There's another one there, chopped.

34:45

Well, I think where thirty three. It's number twenty at Penn

34:48

State, and I could find

34:50

it in a minute. But Isaac and

34:53

then, oh gosh, I'm trying

34:55

to think of who else there's edge rushers. But I

34:57

mean those two guys are the elite players that you're talking

34:59

about is law To and Jared versus. In my

35:01

opinion, it's about a disa Isaac where it's twenty

35:04

Yes, thank you Penn

35:06

State. So I mean those three positions,

35:08

corner, offensive line and a pass rusher.

35:11

The interior did

35:14

the defensive tackles. You've

35:16

got Zrhan Newton and

35:18

Byron Murphy. I believe it is

35:20

from Texas. Newton

35:23

is from Illinois. These guys are

35:25

kind of interesting in that they're

35:28

smaller guys. When I say smaller, shorter

35:30

guys, not small, I mean they're both three hundred pound

35:32

guys, but they're shorter. There's six to

35:35

one, they's six two. And some people

35:37

are comparing Murphy to a little bit

35:39

of Aaron Donald. I don't know if I'd go so

35:41

far to make that comparison, but he's a really good football

35:43

player and Newton

35:46

obviously Illinois

35:48

guy. So that's the alma

35:51

mater of Tony Kahan and Shad

35:53

Khan, and so there's a little bit of

35:55

home bias there, I'm sure, just because he's

35:57

a good football player from Illinois. But

36:00

I don't know if I mean the guy

36:02

that you just brought in, Eric Armstead, six

36:05

foot six, two hundred and ninety pounds,

36:07

that he's got arms that are so this long.

36:09

Right here, JP, that's pretty long. Let

36:12

me turn it this way so the cameras can see that

36:14

are listening on radio. Just imagine my part

36:16

on radio. He's

36:18

it's long, my arms are spread wide.

36:21

But I mean, those top two rated

36:23

guys at defensive tackle, they don't

36:25

have that kind of length. And there's

36:27

not really a defensive tackle that's

36:30

that's rated as a first round talent that

36:34

has that kind of length. So it'll be interesting

36:36

to see how that that position

36:38

works out for this team, because remember

36:40

we went into the season, we said they've got to get

36:42

better on the interior of offensive line

36:44

and the defensive line. They got to get more

36:46

physical. We did say that, we'll

36:49

see can they do it. I don't know.

36:50

Clock's about to run out you got to do it at some point.

36:53

That was keeping it real. Each

36:56

week we do a draft position preview,

36:59

and you touched on one of the guys in this position

37:02

group we're going to talk about today offensive tackles.

37:05

I ask you each week to pick your

37:08

top three guys or three guys,

37:10

not three guys.

37:10

Three.

37:11

Yeah, let's start with Joe al of Notre

37:13

Dame. Who you like. He's he's just so big

37:16

and he's I guess he's young,

37:18

but I don't know the specifics

37:20

of his birthday or anything. But he's like six foot

37:23

eight, three hundred and twenty

37:25

two pounds, and

37:28

he's kind of so long that

37:32

when you watch him get down in his three

37:34

point stance, his butt

37:37

is like higher than his shoulder pads

37:39

a lot of times. And it's just so odd because, like when

37:41

you watch Baselli get down in the stance, he'd

37:44

be able to have that bend and

37:47

his shoulder pads were above his

37:49

hips. But make no mistake,

37:51

Joe Alt is a punishing blocker,

37:54

got tremendous length. This guy is

37:56

I think it's hands down, he's the best offensive

37:59

lineman in the draft. And I

38:02

mean again, it's a percentages game, so I'm not

38:04

making any guarantees, but this is one of

38:06

those guys that you feel like has

38:08

a chance to be that starter

38:11

at that one position JP for

38:13

a decade. He's twenty one years old

38:15

by just turned twenty one. Yeah, he's a young twenty

38:18

one. Yeah.

38:19

His dad is John Alt played for the

38:21

Chiefs from eighty four to ninety

38:23

six.

38:23

I played against his dad. How was he

38:26

Pretty good? Pretty good, big long guy,

38:28

just like just like Jones and the family up

38:31

here. Yeah, JC Latham

38:33

Alabama tackle. Yeah, and

38:35

you know, he's not rated amongst the

38:37

top three or four guys on

38:40

a lot of boards, but man,

38:42

you watch the film on him. First of all, he's

38:44

got the size. He's a six foot six, three

38:47

hundred and thirty five forty

38:49

pound guy. Somewhere he's big. He's

38:51

big, okay, but he carries

38:53

it really well. And when you watch

38:55

him on film, he moves effortlessly. I

38:58

mean, he's just a very graceful,

39:00

big guy that moves very well. I

39:03

think the ceiling is really high

39:05

for him. I think what we've seen from him

39:07

at Alabama is just I

39:09

think just the tip of the iceberg to use

39:12

that statement

39:14

there, But I mean I think He's got a lot of room

39:16

for growth. He's a right tackle now, it

39:18

was a right tackle at Alabama. I think he could

39:21

play left, but I think he's very comfortable

39:23

on the right. Leave him at right and in

39:25

today's NFL left tackle right tackle,

39:27

they both need to be good pass protectors.

39:30

He is a special player just

39:32

because of the grace that he plays the game

39:34

with, the agility that he

39:36

plays the game with. And it's not

39:38

very often that you have somebody that's six foot

39:41

six three and thirty five forty pounds

39:43

that moves gracefully. That's not easy

39:46

to find.

39:46

No, it's yeah, it's really tough,

39:48

and it could tell you a lot about what

39:51

the future could hold for Cam Robinson and

39:53

Walker Little if they were to go with

39:56

this position very early in this draft.

39:58

You know could could And by

40:00

the way, just a side note, he's not in my top three,

40:02

but Mims, the guy from Georgia who has

40:04

not played a lot of Marius Mims. He's

40:07

a guy that I think could be

40:09

a good second round pick for a team. He's

40:12

he's also got some of that that gift

40:14

of natural size and athleticism

40:16

as well. But my third guy is Fuanga's

40:20

a last Fuaga Oregon State.

40:22

It's actually Fuanga. There's

40:24

an n in there that's in the pronunciation, that's

40:26

not in there in the spelling.

40:29

And this is a big

40:31

mauling right tackle. One

40:33

of these guys that if you want to have a little bit of

40:35

attitude with your offensive line, which this

40:38

offensive line here needs a little bit of that, he's

40:40

gonna provide some of that. The one

40:43

thing that I will say about him

40:45

is that it's gonna be He's

40:47

a little over aggressive with his past

40:49

stuff. He gets caught,

40:52

he gets his arms chopped, he gets caught

40:54

leaning, which

40:57

has me a little bit concerned. But he's just

40:59

got kind of naturally gifted

41:01

feet the way he moves which is

41:03

fun to watch uh and he

41:05

definitely likes to He's

41:08

not very nice on the field,

41:10

which is what you like in an offensive lineman,

41:12

and I think that's his biggest strength. And

41:14

he's just a big dude, I mean, naturally

41:17

big dude. The h The other guy

41:19

that is on the top of many boards,

41:21

which is Troy uh

41:24

Fought New Fought New from Washington.

41:28

I'm not fo U, t a n

41:30

u and a

41:34

lot of people are excited about him. And when

41:36

I watch him, I see guard. He's

41:39

he doesn't have that that natural

41:42

size that Latham or f

41:46

Wonga has, or that Memes

41:48

has or all he's

41:51

he's shorter in statute. He's got really good

41:53

hands and really good athleticism. But

41:55

I just, I just I think

41:57

he could play tackle, but I think his natural

42:00

spot as guard, and I think he's

42:02

got a really natural movement

42:04

to him. I think he would be better suited to

42:06

playing guards. Did you look at Olu fashion U

42:09

from Penn State tackle? I did,

42:11

and he's he's big. I mean,

42:13

he's naturally big. Don't watch the Ohio

42:15

State game. Don't watch it, noj

42:18

JP. I'm just telling you, Touey mooloow

42:20

for two years in a row, rip that offensive

42:22

line to shreds, including him, And there's when

42:24

I want when I didn't. Well, there's a reason many

42:27

team people have him rated in his in

42:29

the top three because he's a left tackle. There's

42:32

something about him that's a little off. Like

42:35

when he sets, he

42:37

doesn't gain a lot of ground with his

42:39

sets, So he's kicking

42:42

but he's not gaining a lot of ground.

42:45

And then so a lot of times he ends up having

42:47

to turn to catch up

42:49

to chase a guy. And when an offensive tackle

42:51

turns to chase a guy, he's essentially

42:54

opened than the gate shortening the corner.

42:57

And he's a he's a little stiff, a

42:59

little stuff. And

43:01

that's why I have he wasn't

43:03

on your list, why he wasn't on my list? Many

43:06

people had him up there. He's a big

43:08

guy. Now he's six foot six, you know,

43:10

and and but again it's

43:13

there's something a little bit

43:15

too mechanical. And then again the

43:17

steps don't seem.

43:18

To be as fluid. There you have it, I look at

43:21

offensive tackles. We're back in a moment

Just a couple of weeks behind. But I'm

feeling really good. You know.

43:50

I spent about a month here after the

43:52

season just trying to get my body back

43:54

to the place that it needed to be. And you know, I'm paying

free now, and you know, just happy to be back

43:58

in the building around the guys and just you know,

44:00

with a new mindset and new mentality

44:02

to just bounced back from last year.

44:04

44:21

for a while, was trying to play through it, and then a groin

44:24

injury on that Monday night football game. First

44:26

catch of the game, he goes down. He's

44:28

done for the year.

44:29

Was actually back on the practice field some weeks later,

44:31

which is remarkable, but just couldn't

44:33

find his way to the game field. It's Jaguars Happy

saving and he was the key to the

44:42

whole thing on offense. I felt he

44:44

was gone and it was like a totally different world.

44:46

Yeah, and I mean you add in, you

44:49

know, with last year the quarterback

44:51

dealing with a variety of injuries last year

44:53

and then losing the most dependable

44:55

receiving option that he had in Christian Kirk.

44:58

And you know, that's

45:00

kind of was what it was,

45:02

part of the contribution to one of

45:04

the worst finishes to a season

45:06

in franchise history.

45:07

The worst, Oh, come on, one of it

45:09

was not even trying to be nice.

TV and Trevor Lawrence talking

45:26

about Foyer and Trevor talking about how

45:28

they're going to use that as motivation, and then they

45:30

should, I mean they should be better and angry about it,

45:33

because that's I mean, they were

45:36

at one point, where were they eight and three? Yes,

45:39

and team or people

45:41

around the league were talking about the Jaguars

45:43

being the team to beat in the National Football

45:46

League, and then it was the most

45:48

epic collapse in franchise history. And

46:16

We put the cat signal out today. Here's

46:18

the best we've come up with at Jaggs

46:21

Fan at seventy two. What are the chances of the Jaguars

46:23

getting the trifecta this offseason? Josh

46:26

Allen signed check extend

46:28

Trevor Lawrence and the stadium

46:30

deal. Well, I mean the Trevor

46:33

Lawrence stuff's being talked about.

46:34

I'm I trying to put a number on this. I mean the

46:37

chances, right, I guess chances first

46:39

of all, percentage. I'm not in those discussions,

46:41

but that Trent Balkey is having an

46:43

all show. As Trent said today, ownership

46:46

is involved in that because the size of the

46:49

contract is going to be probably bigger

46:51

than the initial value of the franchise

46:54

when it was purchased by Wayne Weavers.

46:56

Sure, I don't

46:59

know, Yeah, I'm being dead serious. I mean

47:01

that that's where that contract's probably going to

47:03

be at which is a

47:05

large number, and the stadium

47:08

deal. I would hope that it gets done. It needs to get

47:10

done. From all reports, it's trending the right

47:12

way, So I'm feeling

47:14

positive on all fronts. If you

47:17

a percentage that eighty one, you put

47:19

a number on it, I'll go seventy five.

47:21

It's good. I'll go seventy five, you

47:23

know, seventy seventy five somewhere in that range. Yeah,

47:25

good, it's good. I mean, you

47:27

know, I hope it's like one hundred ninety

47:30

nine point nine because there's never a sure thing

47:32

in life, you know, So I'll

47:34

stick with the ninety nine point nine because it's April eighteenth.

47:36

But seventy seventy five? What

47:39

else?

47:39

You got a lot of weeks ahead at

47:41

gt RZ and

47:44

seven to one? What is the real

47:46

difference between Doug calling plays versus press

47:48

calling plays? Ultimately, doesn't Doug have final

47:50

say? From Trevor's comments, it seems he wants

47:52

press with the continuity unless he's just towing the

47:54

company line.

47:55

But I don't get the impression that that Trevor

47:58

tows the company because he feels

48:01

like he's off with a toe company line.

48:03

So I think that's a little bit of a I don't want

48:05

to say it's an insult, but it's it's

48:07

not very fair. Trevor, I

48:09

think is very open and honest

48:11

and speaks his mind. And look, I get

48:13

it, and that Doug

48:16

always has the ultimate authority. He's the head coach,

48:18

and he's an offensive minded head coach. Now,

48:20

what's the difference between Doug or Press calling

48:22

the plays. I think every play

48:25

caller has a groove, and

48:27

every play caller can be in a groove

48:29

and then also lose the groove. Just like a batter

48:32

in baseball, you feel like you just you know,

48:34

when you step to the plate, you're seeing the ball and you're

48:36

just feeling the ball and you're making

48:38

great contact, and then sometimes you hit a slump

48:41

and sometimes you just don't feel like that. Hey, I just can't

48:43

I can't make anything right. I can't swing the bat

48:45

well at all. And I think sometimes that happens

48:48

with a play caller too. You know who have the groove

48:50

in the second half of games in

48:52

twenty twenty two, Press Taylor exactly.

48:54

Yeah, so all of a sudden he can't call

48:57

plays. I think they're both capable

48:59

of calling and uh

49:01

and yes, Doug has the

49:03

ultimate oversight because he's the head coach.

49:06

Yeah, he can veto and he's

49:08

on the headside. He can make suggestions, he can do he

49:10

can tell Press what to do. Hey, Press, By the way,

49:12

you're gonna call z X right thirty

49:15

four on two and give him

49:17

the snap count as well. I don't mean whatever that play

49:19

call would be. What would that be? You

49:22

think, what's that? That Z whatever you just

49:24

said? Just making it something up, you know, I

49:26

mean defense. It was just so simple. Pirate,

49:29

Let's run the pirate, Yes, you know,

49:31

over pirate cover

49:34

three? Okay, break off

49:36

the offensive terminology. Put it this way. If

49:39

it was if it was like an efficiency

49:41

of use of words, defensive

49:43

play call might be like five words.

49:46

An offensive play call might

49:49

have, you know, and defense would have a combination

49:51

of words the numbers. So I will say five total.

49:53

I'm not gonna talk of offense football

49:55

IQ of defensive players. Offense might

49:57

have like twelve to fifteen

50:00

word number combination. It's a lot. It's

50:02

very different.
