Speaker 2 (00:23):
Brought to you by Field's Auto Group, Jacksonville c Fields First,
Jacksonville's premiere luxury auto group. Go to Fieldsauto dot com,

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Hi, Bucky.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
The guys that would come more often if I had invitations,
If you invited me to come every week and be
the show, be on the show live and call it,
I would do that.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Was this a wedding? You need to save the day?
Speaker 6 (00:51):
I mean I can't assume.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Man, if I knew if you look at the screen
right now, what name is underneath.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
The say like person live in studio, Like it doesn't
have the blinking light like live.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Like if if you just told me, like, hey, you know,
it would be nice Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Nice touch if you were here beside us. The communication
with flow, the chemistry is a little better. Women person like,
we can make some of those things happen potentially.
Speaker 7 (01:15):
As far as I have parking is free out. It
is a park.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
Just just a little communication, communicate.
Speaker 7 (01:23):
Not only is he here, JP, but he's got like
a spreadsheet already.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I mean, this is his favorite time of years.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
It is yours.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Of course.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
One of these notes is call home, So I'm not
sure what that one is.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Gotta make gotta make sure. I mean, there's nothing better.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Just buns, smelling the grass, seeing the guys out there
working hard, counting completions and incompletions and all of those things,
tatling them up at the end of the day, talking
about what's in great practice.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
It's a lot of fun. Face face Phase three.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
One and four JP, and I seen one of four,
I believe on Wednesday Bucky saw Ota five.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
So we've got three of five covered.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, and then there's five more to go, a three
day mandatory that he can't Ball is ball?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
We're getting close.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Ball is not ball? Is not ball?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
What are we talking about? It's not ball?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What you're seeing out there is not better than nothing.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
It's b it's half ball.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Walk run.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's a precursor to what ball is going to be
when we get to training. Camp is dress rehearsal. We
had helmets on. We're moving around, little competitiveness. We stayed
up and saw Travis Hunter making some plays. I saw
some saw some good things. Trevor Lawrence escaping the pocket,
rolling to his right, dropping dimes.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
It's a good day today.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
We will talk by Okay, we certainly will. The head
coach talked ball or or BA, whatever the equivalent. Yesterday
after the fourth l t a practice of course, big topic, Bucky.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
You mentioned his name, Travis Hunter.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, he is getting some practice in both ways, but
not on the same day.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
Yeah, we won't put him in that situation to have
him do that, although I'm sure he'd probably want to. Yeah,
I'm sure, but at the end of the day, it's
trying to you know, he still meets defensively every day
that he's on offense, so he's getting the mental part
of it and being able to catch up on some
of the communication, some of the corrections off the film
(03:32):
from the defensive side of the ball. So he's getting
a lot of the mental and it would probably be
unfair to put him out on the grass and do
both and ask him to go do that and see success.
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Of course, later on he went to say that, Hey,
during the season, that's another story. If they get to
that point where he's going to be playing on both
sides in that week, you're going to have to mix
it up during a game week practice. But right now, Bucky,
it's about getting him out there, certainly on the offensive side.
He had one day on the field defensively last week.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, I mean, I think the Jaguars are taking a
real smart approach when it comes to like easing Travis
Hunter into a potential two way role. What they're trying
to do is make sure you master the one side
of the ball before you kind of get exposed to
the other side. So it's obvious that they view him
as an offensive player first they're putting in with the offense.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
He spent a lot of time there working.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
On his route running and playmaking, learning all the plays
and kind of getting into that first rotation with the
Yammie Brown and Brian Thomas Junior, but then Brian, but
then on defense, they're trying to kind of get in
his feet wet in terms of some of the fundamentals
and those things. To me talked about it, this reminds
me of what you would do in high school. Like
in high school, people that talk about two way players,
(04:45):
but really most players are one and a half way players,
meaning they start on one side, then they're a part
time player on the other side, depending on the magnitude
of the game. To me, I viewed Travis Hunter as
one of those guys. Some weeks he may play both
both sides with a ton of snaps all the weeks,
and maybe a he's more offense, he may not get
in on defense. To me, he is such a unique player,
(05:07):
such a special playmaker that you want to tap into
everything that he can bring, but you want to make
sure that you keep him fresh and healthy and ready
to rock.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
This is a little different, Bucky.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
But unfortunately for you, Bucky, we grew up around the
same time and the Washington football team remember in big
games put Darryl Green on punt returns when.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
They needed it, when it.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Was time to go in the playoffs, and so it's
a little bit I think like that. I think it'll
be more extensive than that. You know, and I think
this is where you start Travis Hunter, and everything I've
been told is, look, he wants to be doing and
not preparing more. You sort of have to hold him back,
keep him in the cage if you will. There will
(05:53):
be a time where he is he's pulling at the
leash where they're going to want to let him off
of it, and I'll let him go so he can
earn a lot more leeway in this than he's getting
right now.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Absolutely, And I think the thing that you have to
do is the experienced coaches who've been around the block
a few times, you want to protect him against himself
because right now we can talk about it like we
cared about OTAs and the importance, but there's no need
to max him out and tap him out doing OTA practices.
As we get through training camp and we start getting
into game prep, then it's more important for him to
(06:30):
kind of hone in on whatever role that will be
as a secondary role on defense. But right now, it's
about learning the ins and outs of the offense, understanding
the individual techniques that he needs to know for defense.
But to me, I think this is something that is
easier to pull off in this scheme than in others
because this is you'll hear the words vision and break
(06:52):
zone defense, those things.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
To me, it's a c ball get ball defense.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
They're not many that can get the ball like him,
And if you put him in a zone one, it
cuts down the amount of running that he does on defense.
But it also plays into his strengths as a ball
catcher because he has great instincts and awareness. Putting him
in his zone on third down, obvious situations, two minute drills,
maybe in the Redson. I think it's easy to carve
(07:16):
out a role for when Travis Hunter gets on the
field on defense.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
And it seems.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Maybe by intent or maybe by just because the circumstance, say,
most of his defensive snaps are on third and seven
or longer. The offense will run at times in that,
but it seems like it will keep him from having
to hit a lot and therefore reduces wear and tear.
(07:44):
I'm not saying he's scared to hit or won't hit, no,
but you want to limit those opportunities or those times
he needs to do that that would seem to reduce
wear and tear injury, et cetera.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Full disclosure. My first disposure to Travis Hunter was when
he was in high school. He was a UTWBOE sensation
as a seven on seven star, like a two way player,
and putting him on third and seven plus or third
now situations, you're basically asking him to do what he
did in high school, which is play seven on seven,
guard the pass, cover receivers, make plays on the ball.
Maybe you make tackles on guys that are similar size,
(08:17):
but it's not like you're asking him to get his
nose dirty on the run game consistently to stop.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
From a preservation yeah, yeah, from a preservation standpoint, it's
much easier to mitigate some of the risks of being
a two way player when you don't expose him to
every snap on offense and defense, ask him to be
a guy that's a run stopper on the edge and
those things. I think, Look, with the advent of nickel
dime quarter, as many DB's as you want to put
(08:43):
on the field, there's a way to get him on
the field to allow him to make and make impact
plays without really putting him in that physical grind that
he would be required to be in if he was
a four time dB.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Do you think that meeting room is like with Edgar
Bennett running it on the wide receivers.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Now Edgar Benn is a pro, and so I think
he is. You know, the thing is Eggar when you
talk to him as a civilian, he's gonna be very
soft spoken in those things, but he understands how to
demand it out of players when he needs to.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
But he's a great teacher.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I would say, look, John saw him in high school,
like he look he's a self made man in terms
of like how he carved out a nice career for
himself in the league.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Came in as a.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Fullback from Florida's date, makes his way into being a
tailback for the Packers, especially he wins the Super Bowl.
In those things, but he understands how to get guys going.
If you look at his track record going back to
his time in Green Bay, the young receivers that developed,
the toughness that to play with, but more importantly the
running skills and the run after catch stuff that they displayed.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
He understands what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I think Travis Hunter, Brian thonas junior, all those guys
that are under his direction now they're gonna be much
better players in time.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
I have a question for the football theorist, and it's
Bucky russ No. I mean it's I've got a lot
of questions about, well, why are they playing him on
offense over defense? He was more of a defensive player
and all that stuff, And I think it goes beyond well,
(10:07):
that's where Travis wants to play. I think from a
philosophical standpoint with the team, I think it makes sense
in that.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I don't know that he's going to come in as.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
A great route runner when he starts, or even a
polished offensive player. But from a philosophical standpoint with the team,
you've got BTJ one receiver, you have Yamy Brown, who
you love. You're adding an element that is going to
add a level to the offense the defenses have to
(10:39):
try to control. So I think that's where he can
make I don't know what his numbers are going to be,
but it's hard for me to imagine that they're not
more explosive and hard to defend with him on the field.
So I think that's one reason you push him toward offense,
because he can help you get great there faster than
he can help you get great on defense.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I think the best way to do it is using
a basketball analogy. There are differences between shooters and scores.
Shooters are guys who have perfect form. The fundamentals are right,
they look you leave them on catch and shoot opportunities,
they knock it down. Travis Hunter is a score. Travis
Hunter is someone give him the ball and get out
the way. He's gonna find a way to create it.
And like basically that's what they've done. And so if
(11:21):
you want to say James Harden and iverson, however you
want to call it, like he is a bucket getter.
Brian Thomas Junior is your number one receiver. He is
the one that he's the anchor to the passing game.
But what you have around him is another playmaker that
can get it done in a different way.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
I would expect if we look at the hit.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Chart at the end of the year, Brian Thomas Junior
is gonna be high end in terms of like the
number of catches and what he does because he's number one.
I think yards for a catch. That's where Travis Hunter
becomes the big time playmaker.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Him and the Yammy Brown. The Jimmy Brown is the
vertical threat.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Travis Hunter as the guy that's the catch and run specialist,
the red zone weapon, the ball catcher. They're dangerous, they're dynamic,
and I've likened this version of the Jags to what
the Rams had early on and Sean mcvay's tenue when
they had Brandon Cook's and Robert Woods and Cooper Cup.
They were fast, dynamic, and they created a lot of
(12:17):
problems with their speed.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
On this roster in front of me, he's listed at
six to one one eighty.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Five pounds generous.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I don't know if he's won eighty five generous.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Maybe we've got all his pads on and cleats and
all that, like pouring down range, like just a little
little wet in his pocket helmet on.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Maybe like we wein't everything, like he's a little slender.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
How concerning is that for you?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Not at all, because he's always been fine. He hasn't
really had any major injuries, like last year when he
got beat up a little bit like ribs and stuff,
but nothing that was a size concern he The big
thing for him would be for most receivers, how does
he handle press coverage? How does he handle when they
walk up and try and take his space away and
they try and put their hands on him and throw
them around.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Does he have the.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Quickness, the elusiveness, the escapability to defeat press coverage, because
if he can do that, it's going to create a
lot of problems. But it's the same thing Brian Thomas
Junior had to learn how to deal with that, but
once he learned it was problematic for opponents that walked
up on him. I would think early in the year
Brian Thomas Juniors can get a lot of double coverage
and how Travis Hunter and the Janmy Brown handle their
(13:21):
one on one matchups that will determine whether they lift
the blanket and the cloud on those guys because if
they can make enough plays and now creates like a
lot of opportunities for Trevor Lawrence to be able to
go wherever he wants to based on who opens up first.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
One final thing on Travis what's interesting is I do
get a lot of questions done well, if he's only
going to play X on defense, how much impact does
he make?
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Why not the other plays?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
And to me, Bucky, it's if he gets three picks
and influences and other couple interceptions somewhere else, even a
non huge statistical impact if he makes a couple of plays,
(14:13):
if he gets you the ball back in two games
where it's key, that's huge impact. And it's gonna be
harder to measure on defense, I think, but he can
make impact if he just makes two or three plays
on defense over the course of a year.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
I mean, look, we've all sat here and watched the
team play. Last year. There were one to nine and
one score games.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
How many of those games do we see the team
have a lead and surrender a lead in obvious passing
situation where we should be in a loose form of
a pre event, just keep the ball in front. We
saw the indie officis Coacht go up and down the
field a few different times in those moments when we're
up and it's obvious passing situation. Now putting a guy
who is a known interceptor, known playmaker that helps. There's
(14:55):
value in what he can bring in the fourth quarter
in those gotta have it moments.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Good a cover guy like you're the draft guy. We've
all seen the combine with on people's shoulders, and.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
I mean it's a number. I mean, like I'm in
my best open shoulders.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
How good a cover guy is he? Immediately.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
Can he take a quality receiver out of the offense quickly?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
My estimation, I think he's a better zone defenditive demand.
Even though they played a lot of Manda Man at Colorado.
What he's best at is being able to really like
visit and break eyes on the ball, making plays in
those things. That's why I think this game really kind
of suits his skill set because he is so aware
and instinctive. He has great diagnostic skills in terms of
(15:41):
reading routes and things that are breaking in front of him.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
He's a really good player.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Is he a lockdown corner in the mold of a
Sauce Gardener or even a Patrick Satan?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I wouldn't say diaker.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
He is a playmaker. He's gonna take the ball away.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Look, I won't compare him to but you remember how
Rasheme Matthew used to take the all the way like
he was an interceptor magnet. He is more in that regard,
more so than Jalen Ramsey in terms of lockdown, shut
you down.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
You're not gonna have anything open on.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
If you make a player two like that every month,
then all of a sudden, you're impacting a lot in
this Later.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
The Rookie of the Year candidate at some point too.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
The schedules here and yeah, you don't want to miss
the matchups this year, and you can become a season
ticket member. You can catch three or more games with
a bundle at the bank, or experience this season with
a prowl pass.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Bucky.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That's a plan for every fan, every fan. Get your
tickets now. Jaguars dot Com. Slash tickets are called nine
oh four six three three two thousand. Tuddle up with
Bucky Brooks, jap Shadwick, John Osier, Bucky is with US
Studios to day.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Something about it.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Just an invitation, just an invitation, just a simple impact.
Everybody wants to be wanted.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
You're always invited because your name's on the show, Bucky.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
You just want to be wanted. Does everybody want to
be in the title? That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We talked about, Okay, the weight of Travis Hunter. There
was a lot of conversation yesterday after practice about the
weight of the defensive lineman last season. They might have
been playing a little bit heavy. Have they come down
a little bit? Trayvon Walker spoke with the media yesterday
said yeah, he's a little lighter but only about three
pounds at the moment. He's also put together back to
(17:22):
back double digit sacks seasons, and what would that mean
to get it for a third time.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
Everybody wants to get double digit sacks, But for me,
I just want to be a total complete football player.
I want to be able to stop the run because
we can't rush the pass with I stopped in the run.
And once we do that, then that allows us to
get out of the quarterbacks. But I mean, like I said,
I just want to come out hand and be the
best overall player that I could be every day.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Listen at six five, two hundred and seventy two pounds
John Trayvon Walker.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
I thought he was wearing pads there.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I know it's different, Yeah, he said he hasn't done
his body composition, yeah, as of lately, but he feels
like it's just it's set up a little differently that
he's only later.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Yeah, Well, as a whole, that topic came up because
when you look at specifically Devin Lloyd to me and
Josh Heinz Allen a little bit other, they're significantly leaner
and they were asked and encouraged to play heavier last
year and I think you'll see benefits of them not
(18:23):
playing as heavy this year.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Cohen said as much as like, yeah, that was pretty
much an off season focus, would you. You know, right,
different guys had to lose a little bit to get
back to your playing with.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
And I think Devin Lloyd, you know, to me, looks
fifteen pounds lighter. I don't know exactly where that is,
and I don't know where he'll end up.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
I don't necessarily I can't say with the straight face
that the weight gain was all the reason that he
struggled last year, because he hasn't been what you hoped
he would be. But I think it's going to help.
And I sure like seeing him run around looking like
he's looking the way he looked last year.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yeah, team, it's lean, they look like they're in shape.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Obviously, new strength coach comes in, Eric Ciano has done
a really good job with those guys. But dropping the weight,
like the NFL is a game that's about speed in
between the lines, and so there was this thought that
a we're gonna be bigger and puts the notorious thing.
We dropped the cheeseburgers in the team beating and all
this stuff for the guys to get big and that
like it. Obviously it slowed the team down. So now
(19:24):
guys who are trying to get back to a healthier weight,
a fast playing weight that's going to allow them to
be able to run around and zip around the field
and make plays. I like it as it relates to
Treyvon Walker. Trayvon Walker wanting to be a complete player.
Everyone whenever we talk about d line and we always
focus on the sacks, but there's so much more to
the game than that. To me, he is always going
(19:45):
to be whatever you as a complimentary rusher, a power
rusher that is dominating against the run. The sacks that
he makes and creates won't necessarily be garbage sacks, but
that's kind of a byproduct of him playing hard and
dominating the line of scripen. That's if you Josh Hines
Allen as a guy who is more of the designated
pass rushing to the guy that you count on, but
(20:06):
combine two really good players. But I think the big
thing to come out of the conversation you talked about
stopping to run. Can we stop to run on early
downs so we can really get after the pass on
those later downs not only create sacks, but the turnovers.
That's been a huge emphasis for the team this offseason.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
I think the thing that Liam said about this that
really struck me was they want them play in where
they feel confident, and it felt like last year with
their that in retrospect. Guys don't say this in the
moment because they want to well and they want to
believe that what they're doing is right. But I think
(20:46):
getting Devin Lloyd and Josh Heines, Allen and Trayvon, all
these guys the Bucky you played. How much better are
you when you feel like a superhero rather than feel
like something.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
You're not really where you want to be?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yeah, I mean I think that is it like when
you feel better when you fit and you feel like
you're in tip top shape. Championship shape is what some
would call it.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
It gives you a.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Chance to play well because you're strong, you're fast, and
you also are built for the entire season.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Remember it's a long season. Seventeen games over eighteen weeks.
You got it. You want to be playing your best
down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
A lot of what you do during the offseason sets
the table for how you're gonna be able to end
of the season.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
The twenty twenty five season at Daily's Place, rolling along
Kodak black in for t Paine.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
You're sticking around for that fucking or No?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I mean I would, I'm inviting you mean you got
to me for not inviting you to the show.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Free parking. We have free parking to day absolutely with
a ticket.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yes, tickets sixth and Kevin Crowning with Don Felder June second,
Old Dominion June sixth and Yeah. Dailysplace dot com for
tickets and show information.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
A busy springing.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I guess you'd get to it later in the summer.
Shan Twain down there to twenty ninth and thirty like,
that's the one I would be excited about.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Back to back. She does a different show each night.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Why would she need to like why why would she
need to change it up?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Maybe not?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Maybe not work for her.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
I would stick stick, stick to the script.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
The script been doing a lot more than we have.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Yeah, okay, I would.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
That's what that's my advice to I won't even charge
you for that, just to keep it.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
The script and.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
That's all.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
She varies. Could be down the front road.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Come on, we'll get back to it.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Like don't deviate, play the play the feature bucket down
there front row man.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I feel yeah, let's go girls.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Hey, we got what we say, five more OTA practices
after today and the three Manatoyd Mini can't practices. So
we're coming in hot to the end of the off
season program in.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
The off season programmed.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Then they have a month off and then before you
know it, July mid July, it's on. It's on and
pop and I'm excited about it. Got everything lined up.
We got these practices, left, got the developmental peers, see
some of the young guys have more opportunities that mini
camp will be the final thing.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
And then everyone disappears for like a moth.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Aside from Travis Hunter or anything, hang on your mind anything,
jump out?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
What's on your sheet?
Speaker 9 (23:21):
Over?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And we got like Mark don't like the scout never
leaves a lot of notes, a lot of things.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Like what's thank you your daughter?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
We got all the stuff, like we got everything, got
some highlights and players to watch good football players. Had
a conversation with James Glasstone a team process, talked about that,
talked about the players, the culture and the character those things,
trying to make sure you got the right the right people.
It could be a lesser player, but they got great character.
(23:54):
Gives you a chance to win. And then watching Liam
go through situations day Today was a situational day, so
there's a lot of thinking caps on, like what's the situation,
how are we going to you, how we're gonna play.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
It, and what I like.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
We walked through the situation, went away, and came back
and ran through the situation. So it's just like like
raising up a child, like you know, a first, a
crawl a little bit, then they walked and they run.
So I'm looking forward to seeing the Jaguars run a
little bit as we get to the end of the
pre season in the regular season.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Then they turned sixteen and drive a car.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Yeah, you got to show them all over again.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
And you gotta pay for insurance.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that is very problematic. And imagine having too,
imagine having too that you gotta pay for double the insurance. Yeah,
that's why I need more invice to come back.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
We'll call the show.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Bucky.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Great to see you, yeah, man, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Ns next week you're going back to what we're doing here.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
You're always welcome.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
What are you doing well, I'm staying through the end
of the week to see some more practices, see if
I can learn some more about the team.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Talk about it, right about it?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You know, I love watching ball.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I mean, like when when you're a football junkie, this
is what you do.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
You live for these opportunities to go watch ball, smell
the grass all that.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Like, you know, it's time to smell the grass.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Grass being cut. It's all right there. John's not as excited.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
It's not excited about much of anything.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
This is a cool time of year. On years like this,
when it's a new regime and there's a lot of youth.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
This is cool in in year three of a regime.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Frankly, O tas, aren't that inches, But right now this
is a really cool time.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
It is.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
It is.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
Vibes.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Everything vibes good, good vibes, good vibes. But overflowing the
vibes right means nothing until we kick it off, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
We know some off season.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
But I think the good thing about this bunch is
it does feel real.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Mhm, it does. We're gonna get him going, though, we
get him going, all then.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
I'm ready.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
Four to six a T to B forty six, Come on.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Hi, Bucky.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
The guys that would come more often if I had invitations,
If you invited me to come every week and be
the show, be on the show live and call it,
I would do that.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Was this a wedding? You need to save the day?
Speaker 6 (00:51):
I mean I can't assume.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Man, if I knew if you look at the screen
right now, what name is underneath.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
The say like person live in studio, Like it doesn't
have the blinking light like live.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Like if if you just told me, like, hey, you know,
it would be nice Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Nice touch if you were here beside us. The communication
with flow, the chemistry is a little better. Women person like,
we can make some of those things happen potentially.
Speaker 7 (01:15):
As far as I have parking is free out. It
is a park.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
Just just a little communication, communicate.
Speaker 7 (01:23):
Not only is he here, JP, but he's got like
a spreadsheet already.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I mean, this is his favorite time of years.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
It is yours.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Of course.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
One of these notes is call home, So I'm not
sure what that one is.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Gotta make gotta make sure. I mean, there's nothing better.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Just buns, smelling the grass, seeing the guys out there
working hard, counting completions and incompletions and all of those things,
tatling them up at the end of the day, talking
about what's in great practice.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
It's a lot of fun. Face face Phase three.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
One and four JP, and I seen one of four,
I believe on Wednesday Bucky saw Ota five.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
So we've got three of five covered.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, and then there's five more to go, a three
day mandatory that he can't Ball is ball?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
We're getting close.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Ball is not ball? Is not ball?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
What are we talking about? It's not ball?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What you're seeing out there is not better than nothing.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
It's b it's half ball.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Walk run.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's a precursor to what ball is going to be
when we get to training. Camp is dress rehearsal. We
had helmets on. We're moving around, little competitiveness. We stayed
up and saw Travis Hunter making some plays. I saw
some saw some good things. Trevor Lawrence escaping the pocket,
rolling to his right, dropping dimes.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
It's a good day today.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
We will talk by Okay, we certainly will. The head
coach talked ball or or BA, whatever the equivalent. Yesterday
after the fourth l t a practice of course, big topic, Bucky.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
You mentioned his name, Travis Hunter.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, he is getting some practice in both ways, but
not on the same day.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
Yeah, we won't put him in that situation to have
him do that, although I'm sure he'd probably want to. Yeah,
I'm sure, but at the end of the day, it's
trying to you know, he still meets defensively every day
that he's on offense, so he's getting the mental part
of it and being able to catch up on some
of the communication, some of the corrections off the film
(03:32):
from the defensive side of the ball. So he's getting
a lot of the mental and it would probably be
unfair to put him out on the grass and do
both and ask him to go do that and see success.
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Of course, later on he went to say that, Hey,
during the season, that's another story. If they get to
that point where he's going to be playing on both
sides in that week, you're going to have to mix
it up during a game week practice. But right now, Bucky,
it's about getting him out there, certainly on the offensive side.
He had one day on the field defensively last week.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, I mean, I think the Jaguars are taking a
real smart approach when it comes to like easing Travis
Hunter into a potential two way role. What they're trying
to do is make sure you master the one side
of the ball before you kind of get exposed to
the other side. So it's obvious that they view him
as an offensive player first they're putting in with the offense.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
He spent a lot of time there working.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
On his route running and playmaking, learning all the plays
and kind of getting into that first rotation with the
Yammie Brown and Brian Thomas Junior, but then Brian, but
then on defense, they're trying to kind of get in
his feet wet in terms of some of the fundamentals
and those things. To me talked about it, this reminds
me of what you would do in high school. Like
in high school, people that talk about two way players,
(04:45):
but really most players are one and a half way players,
meaning they start on one side, then they're a part
time player on the other side, depending on the magnitude
of the game. To me, I viewed Travis Hunter as
one of those guys. Some weeks he may play both
both sides with a ton of snaps all the weeks,
and maybe a he's more offense, he may not get
in on defense. To me, he is such a unique player,
(05:07):
such a special playmaker that you want to tap into
everything that he can bring, but you want to make
sure that you keep him fresh and healthy and ready
to rock.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
This is a little different, Bucky.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
But unfortunately for you, Bucky, we grew up around the
same time and the Washington football team remember in big
games put Darryl Green on punt returns when.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
They needed it, when it.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Was time to go in the playoffs, and so it's
a little bit I think like that. I think it'll
be more extensive than that. You know, and I think
this is where you start Travis Hunter, and everything I've
been told is, look, he wants to be doing and
not preparing more. You sort of have to hold him back,
keep him in the cage if you will. There will
(05:53):
be a time where he is he's pulling at the
leash where they're going to want to let him off
of it, and I'll let him go so he can
earn a lot more leeway in this than he's getting
right now.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Absolutely, And I think the thing that you have to
do is the experienced coaches who've been around the block
a few times, you want to protect him against himself
because right now we can talk about it like we
cared about OTAs and the importance, but there's no need
to max him out and tap him out doing OTA practices.
As we get through training camp and we start getting
into game prep, then it's more important for him to
(06:30):
kind of hone in on whatever role that will be
as a secondary role on defense. But right now, it's
about learning the ins and outs of the offense, understanding
the individual techniques that he needs to know for defense.
But to me, I think this is something that is
easier to pull off in this scheme than in others
because this is you'll hear the words vision and break
(06:52):
zone defense, those things.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
To me, it's a c ball get ball defense.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
They're not many that can get the ball like him,
And if you put him in a zone one, it
cuts down the amount of running that he does on defense.
But it also plays into his strengths as a ball
catcher because he has great instincts and awareness. Putting him
in his zone on third down, obvious situations, two minute drills,
maybe in the Redson. I think it's easy to carve
(07:16):
out a role for when Travis Hunter gets on the
field on defense.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
And it seems.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Maybe by intent or maybe by just because the circumstance, say,
most of his defensive snaps are on third and seven
or longer. The offense will run at times in that,
but it seems like it will keep him from having
to hit a lot and therefore reduces wear and tear.
(07:44):
I'm not saying he's scared to hit or won't hit, no,
but you want to limit those opportunities or those times
he needs to do that that would seem to reduce
wear and tear injury, et cetera.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Full disclosure. My first disposure to Travis Hunter was when
he was in high school. He was a UTWBOE sensation
as a seven on seven star, like a two way player,
and putting him on third and seven plus or third
now situations, you're basically asking him to do what he
did in high school, which is play seven on seven,
guard the pass, cover receivers, make plays on the ball.
Maybe you make tackles on guys that are similar size,
(08:17):
but it's not like you're asking him to get his
nose dirty on the run game consistently to stop.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
From a preservation yeah, yeah, from a preservation standpoint, it's
much easier to mitigate some of the risks of being
a two way player when you don't expose him to
every snap on offense and defense, ask him to be
a guy that's a run stopper on the edge and
those things. I think, Look, with the advent of nickel
dime quarter, as many DB's as you want to put
(08:43):
on the field, there's a way to get him on
the field to allow him to make and make impact
plays without really putting him in that physical grind that
he would be required to be in if he was
a four time dB.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Do you think that meeting room is like with Edgar
Bennett running it on the wide receivers.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Now Edgar Benn is a pro, and so I think
he is. You know, the thing is Eggar when you
talk to him as a civilian, he's gonna be very
soft spoken in those things, but he understands how to
demand it out of players when he needs to.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
But he's a great teacher.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I would say, look, John saw him in high school,
like he look he's a self made man in terms
of like how he carved out a nice career for
himself in the league.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Came in as a.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Fullback from Florida's date, makes his way into being a
tailback for the Packers, especially he wins the Super Bowl.
In those things, but he understands how to get guys going.
If you look at his track record going back to
his time in Green Bay, the young receivers that developed,
the toughness that to play with, but more importantly the
running skills and the run after catch stuff that they displayed.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
He understands what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I think Travis Hunter, Brian thonas junior, all those guys
that are under his direction now they're gonna be much
better players in time.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
I have a question for the football theorist, and it's
Bucky russ No. I mean it's I've got a lot
of questions about, well, why are they playing him on
offense over defense? He was more of a defensive player
and all that stuff, And I think it goes beyond well,
(10:07):
that's where Travis wants to play. I think from a
philosophical standpoint with the team, I think it makes sense
in that.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I don't know that he's going to come in as.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
A great route runner when he starts, or even a
polished offensive player. But from a philosophical standpoint with the team,
you've got BTJ one receiver, you have Yamy Brown, who
you love. You're adding an element that is going to
add a level to the offense the defenses have to
(10:39):
try to control. So I think that's where he can
make I don't know what his numbers are going to be,
but it's hard for me to imagine that they're not
more explosive and hard to defend with him on the field.
So I think that's one reason you push him toward offense,
because he can help you get great there faster than
he can help you get great on defense.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I think the best way to do it is using
a basketball analogy. There are differences between shooters and scores.
Shooters are guys who have perfect form. The fundamentals are right,
they look you leave them on catch and shoot opportunities,
they knock it down. Travis Hunter is a score. Travis
Hunter is someone give him the ball and get out
the way. He's gonna find a way to create it.
And like basically that's what they've done. And so if
(11:21):
you want to say James Harden and iverson, however you
want to call it, like he is a bucket getter.
Brian Thomas Junior is your number one receiver. He is
the one that he's the anchor to the passing game.
But what you have around him is another playmaker that
can get it done in a different way.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
I would expect if we look at the hit.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Chart at the end of the year, Brian Thomas Junior
is gonna be high end in terms of like the
number of catches and what he does because he's number one.
I think yards for a catch. That's where Travis Hunter
becomes the big time playmaker.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Him and the Yammy Brown. The Jimmy Brown is the
vertical threat.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Travis Hunter as the guy that's the catch and run specialist,
the red zone weapon, the ball catcher. They're dangerous, they're dynamic,
and I've likened this version of the Jags to what
the Rams had early on and Sean mcvay's tenue when
they had Brandon Cook's and Robert Woods and Cooper Cup.
They were fast, dynamic, and they created a lot of
(12:17):
problems with their speed.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
On this roster in front of me, he's listed at
six to one one eighty.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Five pounds generous.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I don't know if he's won eighty five generous.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Maybe we've got all his pads on and cleats and
all that, like pouring down range, like just a little
little wet in his pocket helmet on.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Maybe like we wein't everything, like he's a little slender.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
How concerning is that for you?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Not at all, because he's always been fine. He hasn't
really had any major injuries, like last year when he
got beat up a little bit like ribs and stuff,
but nothing that was a size concern he The big
thing for him would be for most receivers, how does
he handle press coverage? How does he handle when they
walk up and try and take his space away and
they try and put their hands on him and throw
them around.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Does he have the.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Quickness, the elusiveness, the escapability to defeat press coverage, because
if he can do that, it's going to create a
lot of problems. But it's the same thing Brian Thomas
Junior had to learn how to deal with that, but
once he learned it was problematic for opponents that walked
up on him. I would think early in the year
Brian Thomas Juniors can get a lot of double coverage
and how Travis Hunter and the Janmy Brown handle their
(13:21):
one on one matchups that will determine whether they lift
the blanket and the cloud on those guys because if
they can make enough plays and now creates like a
lot of opportunities for Trevor Lawrence to be able to
go wherever he wants to based on who opens up first.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
One final thing on Travis what's interesting is I do
get a lot of questions done well, if he's only
going to play X on defense, how much impact does
he make?
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Why not the other plays?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
And to me, Bucky, it's if he gets three picks
and influences and other couple interceptions somewhere else, even a
non huge statistical impact if he makes a couple of plays,
(14:13):
if he gets you the ball back in two games
where it's key, that's huge impact. And it's gonna be
harder to measure on defense, I think, but he can
make impact if he just makes two or three plays
on defense over the course of a year.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
I mean, look, we've all sat here and watched the
team play. Last year. There were one to nine and
one score games.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
How many of those games do we see the team
have a lead and surrender a lead in obvious passing
situation where we should be in a loose form of
a pre event, just keep the ball in front. We
saw the indie officis Coacht go up and down the
field a few different times in those moments when we're
up and it's obvious passing situation. Now putting a guy
who is a known interceptor, known playmaker that helps. There's
(14:55):
value in what he can bring in the fourth quarter
in those gotta have it moments.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Good a cover guy like you're the draft guy. We've
all seen the combine with on people's shoulders, and.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
I mean it's a number. I mean, like I'm in
my best open shoulders.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
How good a cover guy is he? Immediately.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
Can he take a quality receiver out of the offense quickly?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
My estimation, I think he's a better zone defenditive demand.
Even though they played a lot of Manda Man at Colorado.
What he's best at is being able to really like
visit and break eyes on the ball, making plays in
those things. That's why I think this game really kind
of suits his skill set because he is so aware
and instinctive. He has great diagnostic skills in terms of
(15:41):
reading routes and things that are breaking in front of him.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
He's a really good player.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Is he a lockdown corner in the mold of a
Sauce Gardener or even a Patrick Satan?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I wouldn't say diaker.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
He is a playmaker. He's gonna take the ball away.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Look, I won't compare him to but you remember how
Rasheme Matthew used to take the all the way like
he was an interceptor magnet. He is more in that regard,
more so than Jalen Ramsey in terms of lockdown, shut
you down.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
You're not gonna have anything open on.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
If you make a player two like that every month,
then all of a sudden, you're impacting a lot in
this Later.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
The Rookie of the Year candidate at some point too.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
The schedules here and yeah, you don't want to miss
the matchups this year, and you can become a season
ticket member. You can catch three or more games with
a bundle at the bank, or experience this season with
a prowl pass.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Bucky.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That's a plan for every fan, every fan. Get your
tickets now. Jaguars dot Com. Slash tickets are called nine
oh four six three three two thousand. Tuddle up with
Bucky Brooks, jap Shadwick, John Osier, Bucky is with US
Studios to day.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Something about it.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Just an invitation, just an invitation, just a simple impact.
Everybody wants to be wanted.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
You're always invited because your name's on the show, Bucky.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
You just want to be wanted. Does everybody want to
be in the title? That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We talked about, Okay, the weight of Travis Hunter. There
was a lot of conversation yesterday after practice about the
weight of the defensive lineman last season. They might have
been playing a little bit heavy. Have they come down
a little bit? Trayvon Walker spoke with the media yesterday
said yeah, he's a little lighter but only about three
pounds at the moment. He's also put together back to
(17:22):
back double digit sacks seasons, and what would that mean
to get it for a third time.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
Everybody wants to get double digit sacks, But for me,
I just want to be a total complete football player.
I want to be able to stop the run because
we can't rush the pass with I stopped in the run.
And once we do that, then that allows us to
get out of the quarterbacks. But I mean, like I said,
I just want to come out hand and be the
best overall player that I could be every day.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Listen at six five, two hundred and seventy two pounds
John Trayvon Walker.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
I thought he was wearing pads there.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I know it's different, Yeah, he said he hasn't done
his body composition, yeah, as of lately, but he feels
like it's just it's set up a little differently that
he's only later.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Yeah, Well, as a whole, that topic came up because
when you look at specifically Devin Lloyd to me and
Josh Heinz Allen a little bit other, they're significantly leaner
and they were asked and encouraged to play heavier last
year and I think you'll see benefits of them not
(18:23):
playing as heavy this year.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Cohen said as much as like, yeah, that was pretty
much an off season focus, would you. You know, right,
different guys had to lose a little bit to get
back to your playing with.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
And I think Devin Lloyd, you know, to me, looks
fifteen pounds lighter. I don't know exactly where that is,
and I don't know where he'll end up.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
I don't necessarily I can't say with the straight face
that the weight gain was all the reason that he
struggled last year, because he hasn't been what you hoped
he would be. But I think it's going to help.
And I sure like seeing him run around looking like
he's looking the way he looked last year.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yeah, team, it's lean, they look like they're in shape.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Obviously, new strength coach comes in, Eric Ciano has done
a really good job with those guys. But dropping the weight,
like the NFL is a game that's about speed in
between the lines, and so there was this thought that
a we're gonna be bigger and puts the notorious thing.
We dropped the cheeseburgers in the team beating and all
this stuff for the guys to get big and that
like it. Obviously it slowed the team down. So now
(19:24):
guys who are trying to get back to a healthier weight,
a fast playing weight that's going to allow them to
be able to run around and zip around the field
and make plays. I like it as it relates to
Treyvon Walker. Trayvon Walker wanting to be a complete player.
Everyone whenever we talk about d line and we always
focus on the sacks, but there's so much more to
the game than that. To me, he is always going
(19:45):
to be whatever you as a complimentary rusher, a power
rusher that is dominating against the run. The sacks that
he makes and creates won't necessarily be garbage sacks, but
that's kind of a byproduct of him playing hard and
dominating the line of scripen. That's if you Josh Hines
Allen as a guy who is more of the designated
pass rushing to the guy that you count on, but
(20:06):
combine two really good players. But I think the big
thing to come out of the conversation you talked about
stopping to run. Can we stop to run on early
downs so we can really get after the pass on
those later downs not only create sacks, but the turnovers.
That's been a huge emphasis for the team this offseason.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
I think the thing that Liam said about this that
really struck me was they want them play in where
they feel confident, and it felt like last year with
their that in retrospect. Guys don't say this in the
moment because they want to well and they want to
believe that what they're doing is right. But I think
(20:46):
getting Devin Lloyd and Josh Heines, Allen and Trayvon, all
these guys the Bucky you played. How much better are
you when you feel like a superhero rather than feel
like something.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
You're not really where you want to be?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yeah, I mean I think that is it like when
you feel better when you fit and you feel like
you're in tip top shape. Championship shape is what some
would call it.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
It gives you a.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Chance to play well because you're strong, you're fast, and
you also are built for the entire season.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Remember it's a long season. Seventeen games over eighteen weeks.
You got it. You want to be playing your best
down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
A lot of what you do during the offseason sets
the table for how you're gonna be able to end
of the season.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
The twenty twenty five season at Daily's Place, rolling along
Kodak black in for t Paine.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
You're sticking around for that fucking or No?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I mean I would, I'm inviting you mean you got
to me for not inviting you to the show.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Free parking. We have free parking to day absolutely with
a ticket.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yes, tickets sixth and Kevin Crowning with Don Felder June second,
Old Dominion June sixth and Yeah. Dailysplace dot com for
tickets and show information.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
A busy springing.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I guess you'd get to it later in the summer.
Shan Twain down there to twenty ninth and thirty like,
that's the one I would be excited about.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Back to back. She does a different show each night.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Why would she need to like why why would she
need to change it up?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Maybe not?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Maybe not work for her.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
I would stick stick, stick to the script.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
The script been doing a lot more than we have.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Yeah, okay, I would.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
That's what that's my advice to I won't even charge
you for that, just to keep it.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
The script and.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
That's all.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
She varies. Could be down the front road.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Come on, we'll get back to it.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Like don't deviate, play the play the feature bucket down
there front row man.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I feel yeah, let's go girls.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Hey, we got what we say, five more OTA practices
after today and the three Manatoyd Mini can't practices. So
we're coming in hot to the end of the off
season program in.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
The off season programmed.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Then they have a month off and then before you
know it, July mid July, it's on. It's on and
pop and I'm excited about it. Got everything lined up.
We got these practices, left, got the developmental peers, see
some of the young guys have more opportunities that mini
camp will be the final thing.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
And then everyone disappears for like a moth.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Aside from Travis Hunter or anything, hang on your mind anything,
jump out?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
What's on your sheet?
Speaker 9 (23:21):
Over?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And we got like Mark don't like the scout never
leaves a lot of notes, a lot of things.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Like what's thank you your daughter?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
We got all the stuff, like we got everything, got
some highlights and players to watch good football players. Had
a conversation with James Glasstone a team process, talked about that,
talked about the players, the culture and the character those things,
trying to make sure you got the right the right people.
It could be a lesser player, but they got great character.
(23:54):
Gives you a chance to win. And then watching Liam
go through situations day Today was a situational day, so
there's a lot of thinking caps on, like what's the situation,
how are we going to you, how we're gonna play.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
It, and what I like.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
We walked through the situation, went away, and came back
and ran through the situation. So it's just like like
raising up a child, like you know, a first, a
crawl a little bit, then they walked and they run.
So I'm looking forward to seeing the Jaguars run a
little bit as we get to the end of the
pre season in the regular season.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Then they turned sixteen and drive a car.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Yeah, you got to show them all over again.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
And you gotta pay for insurance.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that is very problematic. And imagine having too,
imagine having too that you gotta pay for double the insurance. Yeah,
that's why I need more invice to come back.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
We'll call the show.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Bucky.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Great to see you, yeah, man, it's nice.

You're always welcome.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
What are you doing well, I'm staying through the end
of the week to see some more practices, see if
I can learn some more about the team.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Talk about it, right about it?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You know, I love watching ball.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I mean, like when when you're a football junkie, this
is what you do.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
You live for these opportunities to go watch ball, smell
the grass all that.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Like, you know, it's time to smell the grass.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Grass being cut. It's all right there. John's not as excited.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
It's not excited about much of anything.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
This is a cool time of year. On years like this,
when it's a new regime and there's a lot of youth.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
This is cool in in year three of a regime.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Frankly, O tas, aren't that inches, But right now this
is a really cool time.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
It is.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
It is.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
Vibes.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Everything vibes good, good vibes, good vibes. But overflowing the
vibes right means nothing until we kick it off, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
We know some off season.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
But I think the good thing about this bunch is
it does feel real.
Speaker 6 (25:53):

get him going, all then.
