Yeah, that's a fun question because, again, like I said, this time last year was still focused on my roles and responsibilities in Los Angeles, wasn't considering what
an opportunity in Jacksonville was going to look like so to be able to have some version of a head start in that process and understand our team at a really deep level is extremely helpful and extremely beneficial.
The fact that the timeline of just the scouting cycle remaining consistent up to this point I'm in a very similar place that I was this time last year with the draft with
pro free agency, the piece that is obviously sped up is now the understanding of our current roster and not being forced to sort of dive into that with very little nuances and depth to it.
So I think that's a really helpful piece in order to make some
Now procedurally, we incorporated new functions and mechanisms that our scouting staff and our coaching staff didn't necessarily have experience with in the past.
So obviously those will be new wrinkles that we'll work in and looking forward to seeing those unfold in real time.
As far as my personal operation, it's very similar in terms of the draft and free agency.
It's just an accelerated understanding of who we are as the Jacksonville Jaguars that is now in play.
James, you mentioned the experience that you saw from the rookies.
How do you kind of project growth and expanded roles for them going forward as you kind of look at the makeup of the roster?
Yeah, I think naturally you anticipate that.
You can plan for it in some ways by making sure that those runways are available to them.
I think it may be a misconception that there was endlessly
that the players we drafted in Los Angeles were immediate contributors as rookies, where that wasn't truly the case.
Now at the end, when you think back to Pukunukua, obviously having a significant role as a rookie, and then Jared Verse and Braden Fisk having significant roles as rookies, that can maybe overshadow what the sort of year-over-year outlook was.
Like Kyron Williams,
And Quinton Lake, who both received contract extensions this year, did not play as rookies.
They were both injured that season.
So I think that that's probably a fair representation of what now is the Jacksonville Jaguars, and having seen multiple rookies have injuries surface, that you can think back to like, oh, wait.
