Jaguars Happy Hour: Thursday, May 13

Tebow Talk Logs is really into it. Rookie Minicamp coming up this weekend. We will preview the eight teen players that are going to be involved in Rookie Minicamp this weekend, and we'll go around the National Football League is always a flog him in to my left. You're right. If you're watching on the radio, it's just you're listening to both of us. Does it matter, you know, So I'm on the right, I'm on the right. Unless we're in mono than you're on the right. What's going on, man,

It's all good. It's all good. Excited, excited to have some camps that are scheduled. So and I'm excited to be able to actually lay my eyes on the rookie draft picks that's coming up. Yeah, that's uh, may not do much. We'll get into this a little more in depth coming up. But hey, they're out there running around doing football things. Well they're here and so so I

mean that's good. I mean, look, it's this thanks for starting to come together where you're starting to see things get back to being more normal in the National Football League. And and I'm excited to be able to see Trevor Lawrence throw the football. Yeah, I'm curious. I mean, we've seen some videos of him in his rehabs starting to do some of that. Curious how much we'll see this weekend.

Probably we see some. I'll just I'll never forget. And this is and I didn't say it at the time because I mean, I just if I said this at the time, it probably would have had a pretty significant reaction, I think, not not because of me saying it, just

because people would have been like, what. But I'll never forget the first practice that I ever watched Blake Portles throw football but rookie minicamp, And it was the rookie minicamp and I'm standing next to another former player who was working for the Jaguars, and I don't want to say his name because it doesn't really matter. There could be anybody. It was not Baselly, I'll tell you that.

And uh. And so we're watching Blake Portals throw the football, and you've probably heard many people say and Blake concluded that he was not a natural thrower of the football. He did say that there were a couple of throws that this rookie minicamp that literally would have made Billy Kilmer out. And for those that don't know who the hell Billy Kilmer is, please inform us. Billy Kilmer was

a former quarterback of the Washington Redskins. And when I grew up as a kid, we had a saying that if you threw a ball and it was like a wounded duck where it didn't spiral and it fluttered in the air, we called that throwing a Billy Kilmer. Okay, Blake was throwing Billy Kilmer's all over the place. And I'll never forget both uh, myself and player X friend look at each other and go, this is our first round pick. This is the guy that we just drafted

to be our franchise quarterback. Really uh and so the reaction was, oh my, And then it was like, all right, calm down, take a deep breathday. It's the first practice. He's probably nervous, he's probably pressing, you know something. Maybe there's an excuse built in somewhere. This can't be the third overall pick in the draft because the third overall pick in the draft and he's a quarterback, he's gotta be able to throw ball. The ball better than that. Right,

sky is falling, Pet's heads are falling off. It got better. Okay, it did get better, but it never got great. I'll still I'll never forget that first practice and I went, oh my god, what the hell have we done? Well? I don't think we'll have that this Saturday when around, which is good. And we'll get into a little bit more coming up on rookie Minicamp this weekend. As we said, eighteen players will get to the list of guys that will participate, the schedule has been released. I don't know.

Lies If you're I know you're a big social media guy, big big Twitter. You're always tweeting and looking at tweets. That's what you do all day. Every day. I'm a big follower of you, j P. Well, thank you for that. I need the help I can get. Each team in the NFL has you know, over the last couple of years, the league kind of wants them to do their own schedule release, like a video or something creative. You know, this year the Jaguars did the Florida Man headlines for

each game, which was pretty cool on Twitter. I thought that was pretty neat. You can check that out on the Jaguars social channels. I think that the Cowboys had Post Malone do an actual music video with Jerry Jones to release their schedule. That was quite interesting, if you other did some really cool stuff. But so did the Jaguars get like Tedesky Trucks. They did a Florida Man headline video. You know, the Florida Man does this. You know, they made up a bunch of headlines for each game.

It was pretty creative. So I check that out. Now let's get to the schedule and some highlights. There's a schedule review show that we did earlier, was that today on Jaguars dot com. You can check that out also, but that we were on that Yes, you Bryan Saxton, you might have heard of him, Ashlan Sullivan and John Osier. That's own big stars. So we're gonna do our own review show here though, Logs you and I are you ready?

Yeah yeah. Let's go to the first quarter of the season and the Jaguars are in Houston to start it off home against Denver. Week three home against Arizona, and then week four the short week, Thursday Night Football, the battle of the last two number one overall quarterbacks Joe Burrow for Cincinnati Trevor Lawrence for Jacksonville, and that is must CTV. Well, I think that, Look, the the Houston situation is a big unknown because what's gonna happen there

with DeShawn Watson. Who knows that that organization right now is a train wreck. Uh. The Denver Broncos situation that could end up being Aaron Rodgers could be right, you don't know. And uh Arizona and Cincinnati. I mean you're talking about two young, up and coming quarterbacks that a lot of people are excited about. So you know this is gonna be the young quarterback stretch right there. You know in those two weeks, how about that the Cardinals to also have DeAndre Hopkins and j j Watt on

the team. Yeah, but I mean, look, JJ is not the JJ that we used to watch. But uh, the quarterback Kyler Murray, Kyler Murley Murray is the is the exciting one there. And the guy is I remember when he was coming out and I remember watching the film on him. I'm going, I don't know. I mean, he's he's small, can he see? Can he throw? And he's exciting and I don't know how good of an NFL

quarterback he's gonna be. But the one thing that he's doing, he's winning some games, and he is making the games attractive and he's making them must watch TV from a football standpoint. So can he become a franchise guy? I don't know the answer to that, but I like to watch him because he's exciting. What's the record after four weeks we're gonna pay? I mean, if I had to guess,

right there, I mean a little and too. Okay, two and two going into week five, and this is the stretch that gets a little difficult because of the travel circumstances home against Tennessee. That's tough enough because they're Derrick Henry is on that football team still, and then you go to London to play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against the Miami Dolphins. Maybe, and it's on the schedule though, maybe.

And then there's the bye week Week seven, and and you're flying the Seattle after the bye week on week seven to win on week gate the Halloween to play the Seahawks. Russell Wilson in his primary just just a quick thought on here. First of all, Tennessee is gonna be really good. Derrick Henry is really good. We know that I've seen. That's gonna be a tough one to win. The game that is expected to be played at Tottenham, which is the Miami Dolphins game in London. I think

that is a hopeful schedule. I really do. Because you can't say, Okay, well we're hoping to play in London. You come out and you say we're playing in London on on those dates and then if something doesn't work out, then you have to cancel you and you have it back in. Jackson put it this way. I'll bet I'll bet that Miami their travel coordinator, their HAMSA because we have a halms of here, halms of handles all of

the Jaguars travel stuff. I guarantee you the halms of for the Miami Dolphins is doing two things for that game. He is booking rooms somewhere in London, handling the travel for London, but then he is also reserving a block of rooms in Jacksonville because I think the league is hopeful that they can play games at Tottenham with fans in the stand because here's the reality. If there's no fans in the stands and there's no money to be made, the games ain't going over to London's. So I think

this is hopeful that it happens. And obviously what they do over there is going to impact certainly what the league does and what the Jaguars and Dolphins do that week. And I'm sure that the fallback plan is just to have the game here in Jacksonville, and it is hopeful to have the game over in London. Now, of course,

this is the league's situation in Tottenham. They put in for that stadium, They helped build that thing with Tottenham Hotspurs, so they are obligated to play two games a year at Spurs Stadium, and so the Jaguars are jumping in on that deal for this year. They don't have a deal with Wimbley currently they're going to jump in on the league's deal to help the league gets significantly less money to now true true, but now it is NFL, I think handles a lot more the logistics behind to

travel in the game. The for for giving an idea, Tottenham the capacity is right around sixty two and change thousands, whereas Wimbley is ninety two about six for NFL because they trip off those bottom seats and that's that's pretty significant difference. Now, so what's the difference in revenue. I mean, I don't know the answer for that, but I'm sure

it's different. But see, and I think it'll be probably closer to the start of the regular season when we'll have a full confirmation if that's going to be a green light or not, and then I think they'll go from there correct a little bit, which which gives which gives the Jaguars a by very early in the season, which coaches will bemoan the fact that you're not getting a buy that's a little bit closer to the midpoint of the season because you're essentially getting a by after

only six games. Most coaches want to have the buys it at least after eight games. Some of them would even like to have it after nine games, or maybe even after ten games. They don't like to do it earlier in the season. They feel like that it just it takes away from the momentum. And and totally understand it. All right, So we've played through week eight, seven games or in the books, what's the records? Uh, well, I started out two and two and then uh Dolphin, Seahawks, Dophins, Seahawks. Okay,

you got Seahawks in there. Um, that might be tough. Now you might only get one out of that bad Okay, So you're gonna go three and four. Yeah, that's right. Okay, three and four heading into week nine, and this is a stretch. That Seattle Seahawks game is the start of eleven consecutive weeks of Jaguars football in the season. Buffalo coming to town week nine. Week ten, the Colts host the Jaguars. The forty Niners come to Jack's for an early body clock game for them. Week eleven, and then

week twelve the Falcons are here. It's the Jalen Ramsey revenge game. December five, that's week thirteen in Los Angeles and Sophie Stadium. What do you like at least five. I like them all. I think the one one. I'm not a big fan of Atlanta Falcons, although I am anxious to see Kyle Pitts the tight end because I said he was his buttery smooth of an athlete on draft Day and I think he is really good now. I can't wait to see him play San Francisco. Who's

gonna be playing quarter back. I think that's gonna be one of a very intriguing game, and my guess is it may end up being Jimmy Garoppolo. The Atlanta Falcons game, even though this is the added game which gives you the bonus game, doesn't do anything for me because it's Matt Ryan. I'm just not I'm not. I'm not fired up about Atlanta, even though they have a new head coach and they've got a new general manager. Matt Ryan

never really has done it for me. So I think the Jaguars are gonna be able to get that game. I think they'll find a way to get one of the other games. But the Buffalo, San Francisco, Indianapolis and the Rams are gonna be tough gets, you know. But I think they find a way to get two out of those games, So you're at five and seven at this point. That's hopeful. Now hopeful. Now this is also that Rams game is the start of a stretch coming up of a four out of five weeks away from

Jacksonville for this Jags team. So let's move along to the stretch run at the Tennessee Titans, home against the Texans, at the Jets, and of course their young quarterback Zack Wilson. Will he be in there certainly by then? Maybe at the Patriots, never easy late in the year up there, and then home against the Colts in Week eight. Team that batch of games. First off, again, Houston's a train wreck, Tennessee good football team, the Jets, young exciting quarterback expected

to take over. Will there be a young quarterback playing for the Patriots at that point? We don't know. The part I don't like in that schedule is that if we are traveling, we're gonna leave on Christmas Day to head to New York. Correct. Okay, and I'm not really a fan of leaving on Christmas Day to go to New York to watch a New York Jets football team that's gonna be struggling. But you're the double alumni in that game. That's like your Wheelhouse game about former Jet

former Jack. You should be traveling on Christmas morning to go to that. I fired up. It's like Christmas twenty six years working for the Jaguars as a player and as a broadcaster. I think I'm a I'm a Jaguar. So I mean, it's not even it's not even not even all my radar screening back to New York. Unless unless everything is back and we're traveling and the restaurants are open and we're allowed to go to the restaurants. Okay, then then it might be okay, trip to go to

New York. You know. Then I might make a phone call JP and say, hey, you know, John, you think you can get me at the restaurant tonight. Shirt. Notice what do you like in these last five in terms of records? Five and seven? Currently? I think they get one or two maybe, Okay, so that's seven. Let's I'll give you two, so seven, and I like you being the optimist, I like it seven and ten. That's all right, okay,

all right? And you know what if if this team ends up seven and ten this year, then I think it's a successful season. You go back and uh, This is kind of a wild story. I was my bike the other day. I ride a bike, not like a motorcycle, so you I gave up the motorcycle. I'm riding a bicycle and I'm riding it in areas that people won't run me over because they're on their phone, in areas

that are low traffic. And so I happened to be going down the road and and I'm as I'm making the turn onto this road, I see a guy walking a dog. And I passed this guy and went, whoa camps Maga you turn Dave Campo huh, former Jaguars coach, former head coach and Dallas Cowboys. And and first of all, he looks great. He's in great shape. He's got a dog named Tiki. Seriously, he's got a dog named Tiki, like after the Giants barber, which is a Virginia guy.

By the way, case you didn't know that they were twin brothers yet, but but I had this we we we I stopped and uh, I had a conversation with Dave. And because you know, he had a number one overall pick quarterback when he was with the Cowboys, Traman Traitman struggled his rookie year. And I'm talking Troy Aitman struggled, and so it will Trevor Lawrence struggle. He's probably gonna struggle some. But I mean, is he gonna struggle that much? I don't know, because I think Troy Aikman was one

in fifteen his rookie season, which wasn't very good. What was John Elways record his rookie season? What what was Andrew lux record his rookies his rookie season? Because you know, if you're gonna compare what could happen for this football team, you have to look at history as maybe a possible

lesson of some of the first overall pick quarterbacks. And I'm talking consensus number one overall pick quarterbacks, not every number one quarterback that ever got picked, because sometimes there was a debate and and as I've said before, Peyton Manny doesn't go into the consensus because many people thought it was Ryan Leaf. John Elway was four and six his rookie season. He started ten games after the Burgh left the lineup bad. He's twelve and two the next year.

That's pretty good. That's a pretty good turn if you can get that twelve and two, taking any time so you know, look, uh, I think seven, six or seven. If you can get to six or seven. I mean, here's the most important thing. Do you want? You want your performance to be steadily getting better. You want your team to be getting better. You want players performances to keep getting better as the season goes. You're building something. And then also you need to have some luck. Let's

come back in a moment. We will hear from Urban Meyer on the Chris Collinsworth Podcast this week discussing Tim Tebow.

Dream Finders Homes the official homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Prices subject to change without notice. Equal housing opportunity. Yeah, we have not signed him. There's a thought going around, you know. He uh, he was in the best shape of his life. Asked to see if he can work out with a

couple of our coaches. I wasn't even there, and they came back to me and said, wow, this guy's in the incredible shape. And I said, then I went another time and watched him, try him out and they said, go work on these things. He comes back later, they try him out again. I'm not there, and they come in and said, wow, you know this guy's ball skills. He's a great athlete. He looks like he's eighteen years old, about twenty whatever. He is thirty three. And I said, guys,

you don't understand now this guy is. You know, he's the most competitive maniac you're ever gonna talk to. And let's give it a shot. And I have not decided if we're gonna do that or not yet. Getting close. I got to make a decision here pretty soon. That's Urban Meyer, of course, on the Chris Collinsworth Podcast. Chris collins Worth of course, former What Florida receiver right long time my NFL receiver with the Bengals and now Sunday

Night football analysts. I think he's a pro football focus he he is au When when Chris first started as a broadcaster, I wasn't a real big fan. I have become arguably his biggest fan. I think he does a great job, very similar to John Madden as far as having perspective on the game and then also a thorough understanding and a great relationship to be able to convey information to the viewer. And I think he's the best. And so I am a big Chris Collinsworth fan. And

I don't know Chris from Adam. I don't and so I've got no dog in the hunt when it comes to giving him a compliment. But I think he does a great job. But now, as far as the Tim two Tebow thing, yes, well let's okay, so it's trying to delay. You're just gonna gonna talk about christ Yeah, and now what you wanted to talk about is Chris. Yeah, No, So we heard Herbert Meyer there's gotta make a decision soon. Hasn't made the decision yet, but it feels like that's, um,

it's pretty much a foregone conclusion. It feels like I think I think a little bit of the conversation and the information that's been put out there, I think a little bit of it just kind of feelers, you know, where, where where will people be at in this? And uh. And the amazing thing is how many opinions are generated on Tim Tebow and him possibly playing for the Jaguars.

And I'm not talking about justin Jacksonville. I'm talking anybody that's affiliated with the National Football League or has ever been affiliated with the National Football League. It seems like everybody's got an opinion. Everybody in Jacksonville has got an opinion. And UM, I think it's a I think it's an interesting proposition, and I think it's a no risk proposition. I think that they would like to sign him because he can help carry an urban Meyer message, which is good.

You know, you want to have as many and I've said this before, when you come in and you're trying to change the culture, you need people that can come in that can bring that culture with out and Tim Tebow can do that, There's there's no question about that. But being thirty three years old and having played quarterback in the National Football League for a short period of time and play having played baseball, why should he get

an opportunity opportunity over someone else. Look, the reality is is that there's a lot of guys that are on NFL rosters at this time of year. That stink. I mean the stink that you know they're not gonna make a roster and all they are their their bodies. I mean, that's that's I'm not trying to be mean. I mean that's what it is. Their bodies. They're they're not like dummies like the bags, but I mean there their bodies.

So why not have a guy who can carry message, that has been a really good athlete, has been a great competitor. Why not give me a chance. I don't have a problem with it because because it's no risk. It doesn't work out if he if he caught him, Yeah that's right. If he's good. You need a good tight end that can catch, right, somebody can be competitive. Let me let me ask you this, which tied it on the roster? Is so good right for the Jaguars right now. That you think that Tim Tebow is gonna

take some reps awaite from it is thin. It is the thinnest position group. It's not It's not a great position group right now for this football team. So I'll go to work no matter if this happens or not. I'm sure they're gonna have to go get another pass catching option. Sure. Look, look if they can and get the next Kyle Pitts, Tim Tebow's cut right, Okay, And that's just the reality, you know, So you know, if

it works great, it doesn't work great. And look, there's a lot of people that are fans of Tim Tebow and and I totally get I understand it. Am I big fan of Tim Tebow. I'm a big fan of how he's always done things the right way and that he's never been one that's gotten trouble. He's always tried to do right. He's always been giving those community, He's

always tried to carry the right message. I think there's a lot of reasons, a lot of reasons to like Tim Tebow and a lot of reasons to root for him. And it's surprising to me that how many people want to see him fail. I don't want to see him fil I want to see him have success. Is it likely at the age of thirty three or thirty four, I don't know. Is it possible. Sure, it's possible. And uh, look, if he ends up getting another season in the National

Football League, he's gonna get vested, you know. So yeah, how about that. Yeah, you don't play three years in the National Football to be to be vested in the National FA. And this would this would be if look if Tim Tebow can get another year in the National Football League, and and I'm being serious, I mean if you got another year because to be vested in the retirement program the National Football League, you need to be in year four and have you played three games into

year four. So if Tim ends up getting another year and well we're three games, then he's vested. He's then he gets retirement from the National Football League. So I mean, look, if he can find a way to make a year happen in the National Football League, absolutely go for it. And if he can help a football team along the way, and help a team in different ways by the way he plays and the way he carries himself and the

way he conveys the culture. Let's go, why not, get you up, Let's come back in a moment, we'll hear from Trevor Lawrence. Yes he's on the football team.

I mean there is, and there's those expectations just because obviously is the number one pick expected to play well. But we got a lot of great players and guys that we need a team to win. It's not one guy, and I think that's the mistake people make because they

think one guys can change everything. You've got to have the pieces around and we have a lot of great pieces here and I'm one of those pieces and there's a lot of other ones.

Sullivan the day after he was selected first overall. The full interview available on Jaguars dot Com currently and welcome back to Jaguars Happy Our presented by the Duval Motor Company J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logerman and the Rookie Mini Camp coming up this weekend. Logs. So real quick, I want to correct myself early because I was talking about being invested with the way it used to be to be vested used to be three years and three games. Actually have changed that rule, so you have to have

three seasons. Um, so if you've earned three or more credited season since you are vested. So I was referring back to the always so exactly tim should be vested right now from a retirement standpoint, so that would make him eligible for pension, the annuity program, uh, some other things that they have disability, life insurance, UH, continuing education, tweetish tuition, reimbursement, reimbursement and the such. While we're cleaning up some loose ends earlier in the show, I got

a tweet earlier. We need to get you to properly pronounce Tottenham before the show is over. What did I say? Tottenham Tottenham like you're from out in the country in Virginia. Tottenham, Tottenham, Tottenham, Tottenham. Let me guess who tweeted that. I don't know, No, somebody on Twitter. Yeah, Tottenham, Totten Tottenham. We'll work on it. It's a work in progress, Tottenham. And one thing you wanted to say that this weekend rookie minicamp by the way,

just real quick, what what what? What soccer team plays at? Tottenham? Uh? Tottenham? Yeah, what's the what's the spurs? Hot spur? Hot Spurs, Nope, hot spur singular Tottenham hots Hotspur? What's a Hotspur? It's a rooster? Really Yeah, there's a big rooster statue on top of the stadium with a soccer ball unerneath it. That's their logo too. Why why why why you're asking questions. I don't have answers to OX. I don't know. Uh, we've got a lot of time before we get to

Spurs Stadium. As a rooster, I get the part about Spur because roosters have Look we're watching on Jaguars dot Com. There was the rooster there because it was golden rooster. It's a beautiful stadium, golden rooster. Now it's a beautiful stadium. The retractable field will have an actual trip field turf field.

You know. One of the one of the main guys that was involved from the National Football League in that stadium, the design building it to where the NFL would be comfortable from the locker room standpoint and from a fastility facility standpoint and everything is the guy by the name of Mike kensel M, who when when I entered the league, Mike was the director of operations for the New York Jets and then I don't remember exactly what year that he went to work for the League office, but he's

been working at the league offs for many years and I believe he just recently retired. His son actually has worked for the Jaguars for for quite a number of years now, and Mike did a wonderful job coordinating the stadium, build the facilities and everything at Tottenham like that. So a credit to him and he should be proud of it because he played a very big part and a big role in in the construction of Tottenham. Let's get

to Rookie Minicamp. Now, eight teen players expected to participate for the Jaguars this weekend, and if you're watching the video portion of this program, you see them on your screen. Nine draft picks, six undrafted free agents, and first year players are allowed to come out and work out this weekend with the rookies. So the Jaguars have a number of first year players on the roster, but three you

will participate this weekend. Um, So now, the undrafted guys, we haven't had a chance really to talk about a lot of those guys. We've talked through the draft picks over and over, first year guys all that. So beyond Trevor Lawrence, because everybody's interested just to see him in the red number sixteen jersey and then maybe throw the ball around a little bit. What do you want to see out of this weekend. Well, I mean that mean

that's the beyond Trevor Lawrence looks JP. I mean, I I it's hard to get beyond it when that's that's like the single soul purpose of wanting to watch a mini camp I mean because in reality, what am I gonna? I mean, First of all, I want to see Travis uh et N catch the football. Okay, I want to see how he looks physically in person. I know he's a he's a physical back. He's got great speed. I want to see the speed. I mean, sure, I want

to see the size of Campbell. You know, he's got the measurables and everything, but I want to I want to see him, you know, with my own eyes, to see the side. I can't wait to see the size of Walker a little bit right, How big is he really? Because when you when you watch the film on him, and literally I watched his entire twenty nineteen season yesterday.

As a matter of fact, he is he reminds me of And people don't get crazy, okay, and don't start tweeting all this craziness out because I'm gonna make the statement can't wait to hear it, and I want to, then I won't say it. Do you want to record this?

He reminds me. He reminds me of some past great tackles that played in the National Football League, not because of how great he is, but just because some of the great tackles in the league have had a natural size to him and they didn't act like they were pumped up. We used that term before. Okay, would you like to name some of those to really at the Twitter machine? I probably shouldn't and I won't. But he's a big man. He's a naturally big man that moves

very well. And when I say he moves very well, you don't think he's a big man when you watch him move. And what's pretty crazy, And JP, I want you to watch for this and for for Jaguar fans that when they finally get the opportunity to watch Walker little, when you see him get in his stance, watch sometimes

how he maneuvers in his stance. He will squat down and he's a his measurables pulled a six seven pound guy that can literally bend his knees and squat down to where his his butt is sitting on his his heels and he's just moving around. He's got great flexibility, He's got great range of motion in all this body parts to where you can see that he has an athletic ben to him. And this is a big man six seven, and when you watch the film on him,

he is effortless. His feet are always measured. He never has to duck, you know, We've talked about that before. Some tackles when they duck and they lean. He doesn't do that. He doesn't need to. He's a big man, he's athletic. He changes directions very smoothly. I just hope the knee is is healed and that he will be good to go, which at this point there should be no problems with the knee beings that it occurred in the first game of the twenty nineteen season, there should

be no issues with that. Great hands, active does a very good job with punching, and then he also does a very good job to where he can lock down on a guy and have strong hands and hold him. But he also does a good job where he's punching and keeping space and knocking guys off balance. H He's a guy that I really want to just watch. The athleticism and his movement skills to watch. I like this, this is this should be fun. Saturday is when it's going to be open for certain media types for about

an hour. It's about it, ye, which I mean when you've got nineteen guys practicing, you can't practice for two and a half hours. You know, you don't run, you can't run anything. You can't run scrimmage or anything. It's just drills. Yeah, you're just you're just doing individual drills, maybe maybe some skeleton night on something. And and here's

the thing. The league dictates what you can and cannot do in a rookie minicamp, and um, you know, but I think having a rookie minicamp there's been a there's been an argument in the past about, you know, is a rookie minicamp actually worthwhile? I absolutely think of rookie manicamp is worthwhile because the faster that you can get your young players up to speed, the more up to speed with the veteran mix that you have on your football team, they will be when they get into that

setting with the entire team. So I think there's a lot of value, a lot of value to having a rookie minicamp. Were early but you know, there's a list of six undrafted players that the Jags had signed. There. Don't have a clue. I don't have a clue on them yet I will watch them because they're here for a reason. There's a lot of teams that have actually held back on signing rookie free agents. Uh, and I don't remember exactly why. I think. And here here's the

reason why. The league. You remember last year when you had a certain number of guys and if you had a you were over a certain number, then you had to split practice up and you had to do it two different practices. And so some of the teams in the National Football League have actually held off on signing the undrafted rookies because they want to know what the rules on the playground are gonna be before they actually

go ahead and start signing undrafted rookie guys. So that's why in the past, you would you have seen much more twelve twenty undrafted rookies sign or to be in camp just as tryout guys. You're not seeing that this year. Interesting, all right, So they have it this weekend rookie Minicamp close to the public. But what's the weather going to be on Saturday because we don't want to weather to interfere. I know that it's supposed to be nice and cool,

seventy nine sun splash day. It's gonna be a perfect day for practice. Any better than that. Come on now, absolutely, let's come back.

When I when I was a kid, my my mom started a business and it was an

ice cream shop in Virginia. And Joe would appreciate this. She actually bought a bar from Chicago that the famed al Capone used to get his drinks at, and so the bar was very famous. And so she bought this bar, brought it down to Virginia and then opened this ice cream shop. And uh so the benefit for for me and the ice cream shop lasted a couple of years and then it anyway went under whatever. I don't know

what happens that happened at the bar. The bar didn't melt, but the bar, the bar, I think it was sold at a pretty decent But my my mom used to have We used to have five gallon containers of vanilla hagu DAWs and our freezing mm hmm. That was the benefit. And I used to make literally a blender milkshake every night and I was still only about that big right. Yeah, it's good stuff, man, really nice, good for you. The convenience factor for you. I mean, mom owns the shop.

Let's go. They didn't even have cookies and cream back then, way back in the old days, just after ice cream was invented. I'm a big fan of blue bell now, yeah, but as long as it's uh, the good blue belt, not the kind that was getting you sick. A few years. Yeah, let's move along quickly here to look around the National Football League. They're from Brinham, Texas. By the way, Blake Portles signs with the Green Bay Packers, date Hacketts there.

The Packers need some offseason arms around though, because Rogers is not there. Jordan's Love was the only other quarterback on the roster, the first round pick. They have two more quarterbacks coming in on a tryout basis this weekend. Guys that I've never heard of, Chad Kelly and Kurt and Ben Kurt's well, Chuck Kelly is a is related to Jim Kelly who was in Chad Kelly was a seventh round pick. He got in some trouble when he was with the Broncos. He was out partying it up

in somebody else's house, got cut. The Indianapolis Colts gave another opportunity. Supposedly had a lot of talent. But the old miss guy, Yeah, you know, Brent Revert was in my year. That makes a lot of sense. So now I haven't heard much of it. Ben Kurt, I have no idea. Yeah, I don't don't ask anything, but good

for the boat. Blake Bortles look rides. Again, if you could take like the great personality, because Blake Bortles awesome guy, awesome guy, teammates love him, competitive, tough, physical, He had all the attributes that you could ask for in a franchise quarterback. From from that standpoint, he just didn't have the arm. It was not a franchise corner back thrower. And then that's obviously one of the things at the top of the list in order to be a franchise

guy fairly important. But if you could somehow give him, if you could morph like Byron Leftwich and Blake Boardles and Blaine Gabber, because they all had qualities that were franchise like Blake is toughness, competitiveness, you know, leadership, good all that stuff was strong. Blaine had incredible arm strength, the competitiveness of Byron Leftwich. I mean, those were all great qualities out of these guys, and and they each had their own way of doing things and it was different,

but it just wasn't good enough for this franchise. But I'm happy for Blake. He's a good guy and uh and I always wish him the best. And look, it's

the same way with all three of those guys. I will say that the one part that they did not miss on the general managers that each drafted that which was Shack Harris, Jane Smith, and then obviously Dave Caldwell the gym guy, and all three of those guys personality wise, I mean, high quality, high quality guys that that I mean, you got to have that to give you a chance, and they all had that. Aaron Rodgers staying with the Packers.

The drama continues for Rogers. He believes, apparently that the Packers told him they'd trade him, and then the Packers reverse course. Well, from the team's perspective, they's been reported they feel that Rogers was told he'd be traded his quote unequivocally false end quote. They're not going to tell him that. Well, yeah, I mean I don't I don't believe that, do you think. I mean, we're so far away from Green Bay, we're not really in the fray

there at all. Then they don't let him go, are they? Theyre going to figure this out. They'll find a common ground at some point. If you if you can't find common ground, then then a divorce is is obviously the only course of action that you could possibly have So could that happen? Absolutely? Is it likely? I mean, I don't know the answer to that, because there's a lot of things that have to align for something like that

to happen. You have to have somebody that's willing to give up the number of picks that are gonna satisfy Green Bay's asking price for Aaron Rodgers. You gotta have a team that's willing to absorb the capit of Aaron Rodgers. You gotta have a team that's willing to extend Aaron Rodgers above and beyond what his current contract is, because that's kind of what this is about. So are all those stars gonna align to allow Aaron Rodgers dend up

somewhere else? Hi, It's not likely, but it's it's possible. I mean, it's a conversation. It is possible. Everything is possible, But it just seems odd. I just you have you know, when you got two quarterbacks you got you got Tom Brady and then you got Aaron Rodgers. How they go about handling their business right? I like Tom Brady, he handles this business the right way. This this passive aggressive bs by Aaron Rodgers, I mean that was that you really feel Logs and it's come on, not a Rogers

fan and check now. Look, I'm a huge Aaron Rodgers fan. He's a fantastic quarterback. But I mean, Aaron Rodgers needs to take notes on how how Tom Brady handles his business. If you want to be a if you want to be one of the greatest of all time, there's a guy right there you might want to watch a little bit. You know, the name is Tom Brady. Might have heard

of him. And speaking of Tom Brady, it could be the game of the year then in the NFL, at least earlier in the season, the Bucks at the Patriots Week four Sunday Night Football and in that game, Logs, tom Brady could move to number one on the all time passing yardage list, passing Drew Brees. It is possible, if you do the math in the first three weeks to get here in week four. What a scene that should be in Foxboro? Well he hell, he will be warmly received as he should be up there in New England.

And the folks in Foxborough are gonna love it. And you want to talk about the hottest ticket in the National Football League this year, That game right there is the hottest ticket period. It's not even close. There's not another game that is going to be even come close to having the demand of that game because that will be the last time that Tom Brady ever plays in

New England ever. Yeah, that's true. Ever, he'll never play there ever again, unless he were to go to a different team, because Tampa Bay will not go back to New England because it's like what's like an eighth year rotation, how you rotate from a f C teams going or NFC teams going to play a f C teams and uh and look know, people think that Tom Brady is beating father time, but I don't think he's going to beat him to the tune of another eight years to

where the Buccaneers will go back to New England. I don't see that happening. So it will be amazing to see how much a ticket we'll be going for on the secondary market for that game. Huge. It will be worth buying season tickets alone just for that game. You could probably buy season tickets sell the tickets to that game to cover the cost of the entire season tickets. So you're saying that's a bigger game than the Jags at the Colts in Week ten this year. Just a little, okay,

a little, a little bigger than that. It's Teddy Bridgewater in the news this week criticizing how the Panthers practiced when he was on the team. He was on the All Things Covered podcast with Patrick Peterson and Brian McFadden and Bridgewater said the Panthers didn't practice enough two minute offense a red zone to succeed, and then Matt Rule later, the Panthers head coach, took some issue with that. He said he feels really good about the preparation he's had

as the head coach. No coach ever likes being criticized. That's just nobody likes being criticized that coaches. But the one thing I will tell you when you watch the great coaches, and we have had the opportunity to watch some great coaches, and one, namely Bill Belichick, has always been big on practicing situational football, always been big on doing a lot of two minute drill work because that's what wins games. And so are our Teddy Bridgewaters comments.

Do they do? They have some truth to it? Maybe maybe, and maybe he's spot on. I don't know that, but uh, it's always good to have a little bit of a controversy kind of going on, because aren't aren't isn't Teddy with Denver? And isn't Denver going to play Caroline at some point this year? Back up to Aaron Rodgers at that point, stir it up, stir it up. Well, we stirred it up enough for the day. Let's call it a day and logs. We will see you very soon.

You're gonna be out this weekend. I will be there on Saturday. I will see you there. It sounds good. That's coming up. Rookie Minicamp this weekend. Close to the Public will have coverage though John Oser's writing and some video recaps on Jaguars dot Com, so check those out. Thanks to Joe Fortunado, Brent Reeber, TRMP Fadilla, and for Jeff Blagg you went and our entire crew. I'm J. P. Shadrick. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network.
