Not every sale happens at the register.
0:13
Before AT&T Business Wireless, checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too
0:19
Basically a staring contest where everyone loses.
0:22
It's crazy what people say during an awkward silence.
0:24
Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold.
0:28
That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sale at two.
0:32
Sometimes I do miss the bonding time.
0:35
AT&T Business Wireless, connecting changes everything.
0:40
When you manage procurement for multiple facilities, every order matters.
0:44
But when it's for a hospital system, they matter even more.

1:13
You are appreciated.
1:17
I feel that way here on Lockdown Jackwise.
1:24
You are a Lockdown Jaguar, your daily Jacksonville Jaguars podcast.
1:29
Part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.
1:36
What is going on folks?
1:39
I am Tony Wiggins, the host of Lockdown Jaguars.
1:41
Here's what we're going to talk about today on the bonus show, Two Side, Two Habs of
1:46
Second half, teaching and continuity matter, and we'll pay off.
1:50
The first half of the show, the importance of offence coordinator, Grant Udensky, Two
1:54
Head Coach Liam Cohen.
1:56
Grant Udensky got interview a couple of times for jobs.
2:00
I thought he was going to Buffalo, and then I thought he was going to Cleveland.
2:03
I was pulling for him.
2:05
I was pulling for my man Campy got interviewed down in Miami in a place where he's extremely
2:12
And then I think somebody else interviewed him.
2:13
I can't remember, but we were sitting there one year, we think of man, we finally got
2:19
And they're going to take these dudes away from us, and fans were being funny, like Jaguar
2:24
fans are saying how terrible Udensky and Campaneli were as coaches.
2:29
And hoping that the other fan bases wouldn't pick up on the sarcasm and just run with that.
2:34
But as much as I wanted those guys to stay, I never allowed myself to be pulling for them
2:41
not to get those jobs, because I didn't want to look like a camp and be bucking their
2:45
fans the way they looked a year before when they were hoping that Liam Cohen didn't get
2:49
the Jaguars job, all because they just wanted him to stay and then they said all these nasty
2:54
It's funny how they're all these bad things to say about a dude that you wanted to stay
2:58
and that's why you're angry.
2:59
So you just sound scorned, and I didn't want to do that.
3:02
Not no Jaguars did it playfully, but a part of it wasn't playfully.
3:06
A part of it is we can't enjoy nice stuff, because this is such a copycat Lee, everybody
3:11
wants to get the hard work of building that staff and then all of a sudden he comes
3:15
to use 10 coaching staff.
3:16
These 10 open jobs come running along and just thanks for all your hard work.
3:20
Let me just snatch your coach from you.
3:23
That kind of got on people's nerves a little bit.
3:26
But the truth of the matter is, the Jaguars are fortunate that those guys were passed over
3:34
I don't think it's going to happen again, especially if there's some success, because people
3:39
will feel around the league more so for Grant Judensky than Anthony Campanelli, because
3:43
everybody seems to be wanting a coach that resonates with a quarterback, because a coach
3:47
that resonates with a quarterback gives you a better chance to win.
3:52
And it prevents things from like what the Jaguars just experienced for the first time in
3:57
forever, where as soon as you win something, they're going to come and start snatching
4:04
And if your coach is a defensive coach, your head coach is a defensive coach.
4:08
Sometimes when they snatch your assistant, they take your system with them.
4:12
But no further than Philadelphia, right?
4:15
They win a champion chip.
4:18
Keller Moore leaves after only one year.
4:21
Their offense looks great, goes to New Orleans, looks like they're on their way back and
4:25
Philly struggled on offense, like they have before Keller Moore got there.
4:30
So that's the fear that Jaguars fans don't want to experience, and I understand it.
4:37
But I said when they hired Liam Cohen, what they needed to do was, do you notice how
4:43
the 49ers and the Rams keep losing coaches, even though they don't lose their head coach,
4:47
they lose assistance, but they're able to replace them with assistance and those assistance
4:52
How do they keep finding offensive coordinators with an offensive coach?
4:57
Always said if you had a defensive coach that you need to do whatever it is that they
5:02
All right, your defensive coach, your higher offensive coordinator, and then you hire about
5:06
five or six people that's just like him, alignment across the board.
5:12
Maybe he takes one or two guys with him.
5:14
You still got the replacement right there instead of being like those teams I mentioned
5:17
where three or four of them, their guys get picked up every year.
5:22
And they always seem to have somebody or somebody gets fired, right?
5:27
That used to be on that staff and then okay, you got fired.
5:31
The way Robert Salah went back home to San Francisco.
5:33
So there's a way to get it done in the Jaguars right now or built that way.
5:38
They have so many coaches, Ripple, they have a whole bunch of coaches over there, Waldron,
5:45
Coach Waldron, that understand Liam Cohen.
5:48
So if you lose your Dinski, there's a path for those guys to get moved up and there's
5:54
also a path for them to go out and get someone else from around the league that they're very,
5:59
But I think for Grant, it comes down to the Jaguars get another year of all of this greatness
6:07
And I'm not saying that facetiously or sarcastically, but everyone along the way, all of the players
6:12
and the coaches that have had experience with Grant Dinski, talk about his communication
6:16
skills, talk about his ability to teach.
6:19
They preach about all of those things and it's very, very important that in the second
6:23
year of this re-emergence of the hope for Trevor Lawrence, where he was a top five pick,
6:30
where he was a top five, a top five MVP candidate, excuse me, it's early.
6:38
This is where I think you can add and you can build and you can get and be the team that
6:46
Tighten up everything, clean everything up, advance it, go a little bit further into your
6:53
offense, not only from teaching Trevor, but then Trevor, implementing that offense and
7:00
The continuity it's going to have with the offensive linemen, you ain't bringing four new
7:03
offensive linemen in there.
7:04
I last did actually brought in six and kept five.
7:07
So all of these things go to help because you still have the same person and they were
7:11
going to have it anyway with Liam and the rest of these coaches.
7:15
But having Grant, the great communicator still here, at least for another year, not only
7:19
helps the players, it helps the coaches and it helps the continuity of what the Jaguars
7:25
Why is teaching in continuity?
7:27
Why does it matter so much?
7:29
It matters so much because football, contrary to what we sometimes, the way we sometimes
7:35
react to football, we think it's just all about players.
7:39
Even though it is about the Jimmy's and Joe's, but there are a lot of Jimmy's and Joe's
7:42
that don't live up to their potential because they don't think the game and see the game
7:46
the way it's taught by certain people.
7:50
We'll talk about that in just a second here on Locked On Jaguars.
7:57

11:00
I like a good, smart football team.
11:03
I like a team that depends on dudes that just love the game.
11:08
I like when teams lead with that.
11:11
I love when, like what the Jaguars are doing, very good communicators.
11:17
I think when you communicate so openly and so well like that and you don't give too
11:23
much information because it's a need to know basis.
11:26
But when you don't have to do smoke screens and you're able to answer questions fluently
11:32
without breaking the code, it tells me that you're not afraid to be vulnerable because
11:37
you're more than willing to wait and see how it plays out to show people on the field.
11:43
See, that's why we did what we did right then.
11:46
That's why we did what we did.
11:49
That confidence comes from the work that you put in and it's not just the physical
11:54
work, although that's a part of it.
11:57
It's the mental approach.
11:58
It's not only doing what somebody tells you, but understanding the why.
12:03
I think the Jaguars, the way that they're teaching now, they're really, really having guys
12:08
understanding the why.
12:09
They want to know why they're doing everything, they're explaining everything and they want
12:13
to know they're getting, it's basically like this, they're sending these players
12:18
out there, not just with brawn and speed and athleticism, they're sending them, those
12:24
But they're sending them out there and they're weaponizing their mind to think like coaches
12:29
and to be able to react, to be able to react naturally because they're just doing the
12:35
thing that they love.
12:36
Imagine the thing that you love the most, right?
12:38
No, let's not imagine the thing that you imagine the thing that you love doing around
12:44
a whole bunch of other people the most.
12:48
This is, you get to do it for a living.
12:51
Like me, I'm living to dream.
12:53
Even when I was a barber for 33 and a half years, I stood up and I talked about this stuff
12:59
And there were so many people that said, you know what?
13:02
When I finally realized that you were to do it on radio and before we started doing visual
13:07
podcasts, you would do it on audio, I heard your voice and I realized this is you.
13:12
Here's what, this is the biggest compliment I could ever get.
13:16
You're the same dude here in this barber shop that you are on radio and there's no difference.
13:21
You know why there's no difference because it's real and it's all thinking.
13:24
This is what it is.
13:25
That's why I'm sitting here doing a radio, a podcast talking about football and there's
13:29
barber pictures behind me because it does not change.
13:33
So I know what that feels like to a lesser degree.
13:36
When you are able to, I can't remember who said it.
13:39
Somebody came in the barber shop years ago and said it and I've been saying it and quote
13:43
given that person the quote, God, no name Brian, he passed on but he said when you find something,
13:54
when you find, when you find something that you enjoy doing that you get paid for,
14:00
you're never working other than your life.
14:01
And I really, really do believe that ever since I joined the military because I absolutely
14:07
loved the job that I had in there too.
14:09
When I left home in 1989, I had been working, working.
14:15
I had a job in high school.
14:17
I wouldn't say I loved it but I did it, making pizza.
14:21
But from the time I went to military and really learned how to function, there has never
14:29
been a time from like the middle of 1989 until now that I haven't actually did a job
14:36
So I can, it resonates with me that the Jaguars will go out the guys who absolutely love football.
14:42
And I think anybody that makes it to the league has a, or gets close to it has a love for
14:48
But I'm talking about a love for the game.
14:50
Once you start getting things, you love the game more for what it is as opposed to what
14:56
And I think when you, that's why they love trademark walkers so much.
15:00
That's why they go after those football playing justice because you don't have to motivate
15:04
You don't have to get them in shape.
15:05
You don't have to sit here and they want to learn.
15:08
They want to be sponges.
15:10
They want to find out.
15:11
They want to ask questions.
15:13
And you want to teach.
15:14
And you want to be around that type of energy.
15:16
That is the thing that is permeating out of that building right now.
15:20
And so for, to me, teaching and continuity are so important because there's nothing like,
15:27
I taught, I actually taught a class.
15:29
I taught one or two classes during, right before COVID and during COVID.
15:35
I taught two classes how to cut hair at a cosmetology college.
15:38
It's one of those gratifying things I've ever done because there is nothing like teaching
15:44
people that want to learn.
15:47
That's the type of players that they're going to go get in this draft.
15:50
Watch the guys that they pick and then go back and read their bios and go back to their
15:55
college websites and see what people said about them.
15:58
And you'll see that there's a commonality here.
16:00
The commonality is, we love it.
16:03
And the only way we're bringing you in here is you've got to love it.
16:08
And that makes them a smarter football team.
16:10
Remember the days when coaches between 2021 or 2022 and 2024 would come and tell you,
16:20
it's not translating from practice to the game.
16:25
Didn't have an answer for you as the wife said, we've got to go back and watch the
16:29
You haven't heard, we've got to go watch the tape in a while, have you?
16:33
Because when something goes wrong, they can tell you're right then and there or what happened.
16:38
They know exactly where it is.
16:39
They ain't got to go watch the tape as if that's somebody else playing.
16:43
You know what happened.
16:44
You know what didn't happen because you know what they didn't know.
16:48
You know, try to fix it.
16:51
It looks like it's fixing and then something else gets broken.
16:54
That is not the way they're playing that game down there, man.
16:56
We weren't good enough.
16:58
Point blank in the discussion and it starts with me.
17:01
That's accountability.
17:02
You heard Liam tell the players in meetings, hey, man, I put y'all in a position that wasn't
17:09
I gave y'all some plays that wasn't a good sequence by me and I didn't do right by you.
17:13
And then you have players saying, nah, coach, you did right by us, man.
17:17
I shouldn't have done that.
17:18
They said, nah, I appreciate you saying that, but you see, this is what I'm talking about.
17:24
These guys are trying to take responsibility for things because the only way you can do
17:29
that is if you have an intricate knowledge and you know exactly what you're supposed to
17:34
You know you're a part of not doing it.
17:35
That's the first sign of accountability and see people think teaching and continuity
17:40
and learning and being smart about football is like, you know, just go and play and react.
17:45
You can't go and play and react the right way until you absolutely know what you're supposed
17:50
If you're driving a car and looking down at a map or listening to the navigation system,
17:54
the people in the car with you going to get sick, but they want to hear some music.
17:58
How about you don't drive unless you know where you're going?
18:00
Now, you can turn a music up, have a conversation, drink a cup of coffee, sing songs because
18:05
you know where you're going.
18:08
That is the kind of football team I want and that's the one where we don't know where
18:12
And I'm so glad to be a part of it because one thing about me, I always tell people when
18:16
I do these podcasts, I like making fan smarter.
18:21
So I like coaches that make their player smarter.
18:24
I think it just leads to winning.
18:26
Doesn't mean that you don't like physicality, doesn't mean that you don't like football players
18:29
to come out and want to smash somebody's face in and doesn't mean that you don't believe
18:33
in tackling in the open field, doesn't mean that you don't believe in guys with speed
18:38
I do, I believe in all of that, but I think you can do all of that and be smart at the same
18:42
Just like the locked on Jaguar's faithful, you guys are smart every day, man, I wouldn't
18:46
be here without you.
18:47
We absolutely appreciate you joining us.
18:49
We don't take you for granted.
18:51
All the joy that we can, the draft is a week away.
18:54
Before we had AT&T business wireless coverage, our delivery GPS wasn't the most reliable.
18:59
Once our driver had to do a 14 point turn to get back on route, a 14 point turn, an influence
19:06
or even live stream the whole thing.
19:08
Not good for business.
19:09
Now with AT&T business wireless, routes are updating on the fly and deliveries are on
19:15
And the influence it did get us 53 new followers though, AT&T business wireless.
19:20
It changes everything and Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and
19:30
save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual, even if it means sitting front row at a comedy
19:36
Hey everyone, check out this guy and his bird.
19:38
What is this, your first date?
19:39
Oh, no, we help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together.
