| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Move the Sticks. DJ Buck with you, Buck. It looks nice where you are right now. Where are we right now? DJ, I'm in the studio down in Jackson. I'm in a facility that made me use the facility to podcasts. And so you see all the Jaguars background. I tried to make it where I was a non-biased person. So I try to keep the logos out, but that's where I match. I don't know. You don't need to do that. You can have the logos out there. We know. We know you're calling. |
| 0:44.3 | Man, this time of year, are you, are you a play-by-play guy in the spring? |
| 0:45.5 | I've just so not. |
| 0:50.3 | I don't know where you are on that, but I just, I've learned over the years that some, |
| 1:14.4 | so much hype on the good has been wrong and so much worry and concern about the bad has been wrong that I tend to just say like, are there any contracts coming our way? Is everybody healthy? Like, I try not to get too much involved in what's going on on the field right now. No, I try not like, I'm trying to fall in love with the hype bunnies, the people that you hear about doing this time of you, you hear a handful of names that people talk about are sensational throughout the course of camp. |
| 1:19.1 | But what I've grown to realize, this isn't the real ball that we'll talk about, |
| 1:24.7 | because without pads, without the contact element of the game, it's all for not. |
| 1:28.8 | This is like 7-on-7 that you see in high school, people running around and doing things. So I say it matters in terms of the team building part of it. |
| 1:34.6 | It matters in terms of the installation, the coaches and players learning. It matters in terms |
| 1:40.2 | of creating the culture that you want to have. But in terms of the evaluation part of it, man, you can't really evaluate your team until you get in the training camp and start really putting paths on. Yeah, I think over the years, this is kind of changed too because they've really dialed back in terms of what you can do, you know, one-on-ones, you know, any type of physical activity. So I think more than else is just kind of getting young guys, new guys acclimated, you know, hey, just understand where our meeting rooms are, our routine, here's our warm-up routine, you know, just kind to get them kind of understanding that maybe let's focus a little bit more on learning, you know, in terms of the scheme and those things versus any type of the physical |
| 2:17.9 | stuff that you could actually evaluate. |
| 2:19.8 | I do have something that's interesting because I want you to know because last year you |
| 2:23.3 | were with the charges that they underwent a coaching change and everyone who knows |
| 2:29.2 | Jim Harbaugh understands that he is always going to bring a top of the line strength |
| 2:33.1 | coach with him. |
| 2:34.0 | And that's going to be a big top of the line strength coach with him. |
| 2:37.9 | And that's going to be a big part of the culture-changing process. |
| 2:43.4 | In Jacksonville, they're doing some things that when it comes to the Strength and Conditioning Program, |
| 2:46.8 | DJ that almost remind me of a collegiate-type feel. |
| 2:51.6 | So they have this thing where today they were competing in the Iron Jaguar games, where they've had these teams kind of split up, you know, court and the stuff, and they have various |
| 2:56.8 | competitions that they do. So it may be like a, like a bar hang competition where guys are |
| 3:03.3 | hanging on the pull-up bar to see who can do it and their points. Teams get points. They have relay |
