- 0:23Speaker 1: and we have the best of the week from training
- 0:26Speaker 1: camp leading.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Into the game.
- 0:27Speaker 1: We start this week with head coach Doug Peterson's press
- 0:30Speaker 1: conference and playing time for the starters against the Cowboys.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's important for them to play, to
- 0:37Speaker 3: feel the you know, I think the excitement around a game.
- 0:43Speaker 3: You know, don't plan on playing them long at all,
- 0:46Speaker 3: but just want to get him, get him in, get
- 0:49Speaker 3: him out, and you know, but yet still get get
- 0:52Speaker 3: some quality working.
- 0:54Speaker 4: How's Anton doing with his shoulder and you know how
- 0:57Speaker 4: much will he played?
- 0:57Speaker 5: Probably Saturday.
- 0:59Speaker 3: He's doing well, you know, he's progressing really well. He'll
- 1:02Speaker 3: be fine for Saturday, barring any you know, setbacks in
- 1:04Speaker 3: the next couple of days. But anticipate him playing even
- 1:08Speaker 3: maybe a touch longer. You know, it's his first NFL game,
- 1:11Speaker 3: so maybe see him in there. You know, a series
- 1:14Speaker 3: or two after the ones come out, so you.
- 1:16Speaker 6: Had obviously Christian. They are all back from last year,
- 1:21Speaker 6: Trevor's back a lot of familiarity. How has Calvin kind
- 1:25Speaker 6: of been able to step in and pick off everything
- 1:28Speaker 6: and get to the level If he's been able to
- 1:30Speaker 6: get to the level with those guys.
- 1:32Speaker 3: I mean, he's he has definitely been one that has
- 1:36Speaker 3: embraced his opportunity. You know, y'all understand his his story
- 1:39Speaker 3: and being away from football, and he's he's hungry, and
- 1:41Speaker 3: he's eager, and you know, he's determined to you know,
- 1:47Speaker 3: get back out, get back out on the on the
- 1:49Speaker 3: big stage and play well. And I think one of
- 1:51Speaker 3: the things that makes it easy for Calvin too is
- 1:53Speaker 3: to have guys like who you mentioned right with Trevor
- 1:56Speaker 3: and Christian, zay Evan Jamal, those guys have embraced him
- 2:01Speaker 3: and really welcomed him in and made him feel comfortable.
- 2:04Speaker 3: And and he's he being Calvin has really done a
- 2:08Speaker 3: nice job of understanding our offense. You know, I think
- 2:12Speaker 3: we're figuring him out now he's figuring us out. Trevor
- 2:15Speaker 3: and Calvin er are are, you know, figuring each other
- 2:18Speaker 3: out a little bit? And those are all things that camp.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Camp provides a lot of opportunities to kind of you know,
- 2:25Speaker 3: get on the same page and and and see just
- 2:28Speaker 3: how you know, as a staff we can use him
- 2:30Speaker 3: in game.
- 2:32Speaker 5: Him a little longer than somebody other.
- 2:34Speaker 3: No, not necessarily. I don't need to see him too
- 2:37Speaker 3: much longer, you know, and and uh so I I
- 2:41Speaker 3: probably won't play him much past you know the ones
- 2:44Speaker 3: j I.
- 2:45Speaker 5: The way you've used Jamal in the past.
- 2:48Speaker 7: H h.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Kind of at the point now where even if he's
- 2:51Speaker 5: on the field, then the play doesn't go to him.
- 2:53Speaker 5: Does a server purpose in some way? The teams at
- 2:55Speaker 5: this point always have to be aware of him and
- 2:59Speaker 5: can that deflected you so maybe you can run something else.
- 3:03Speaker 3: You know, he's he's one of those for us, kind
- 3:06Speaker 3: of a Swiss army knife. He can he can play
- 3:09Speaker 3: every position on offense. Probably he would want to probably
- 3:12Speaker 3: play quarterback, but we don't let him. You know, he's
- 3:15Speaker 3: good with the ball in his hand, whether it's a
- 3:17Speaker 3: jet sweep or handing him. You've seen us toss him
- 3:19Speaker 3: the ball a couple of times. And that just comes
- 3:22Speaker 3: from his you know, his special team's background. He's smart,
- 3:26Speaker 3: you know, and and it does it does you know,
- 3:30Speaker 3: when you can do certain things with him, and and
- 3:33Speaker 3: you know, I think defenses have to understand the type
- 3:37Speaker 3: of player he is, and and you know how explosive
- 3:41Speaker 3: he is on the field. You know it can we
- 3:46Speaker 3: can use him as a decoy, we can also use
- 3:47Speaker 3: him as a as a primary and and I think that's, uh,
- 3:51Speaker 3: that's really a very valuable asset to have in your offense.
- 3:56Speaker 6: What Tanks done dis camp changed your idea how big
- 4:00Speaker 6: his role would be than what he had.
- 4:02Speaker 3: When before camp started him. No, I mean, I think
- 4:04Speaker 3: he's still gotta be careful with how much you expand
- 4:07Speaker 3: his role. I think he's he's done a nice job,
- 4:10Speaker 3: you know so far. There's still some learning to do
- 4:12Speaker 3: and and some growing to do as a as a
- 4:13Speaker 3: f you know, as a rookie. But you know, keeping
- 4:17Speaker 3: him kind of where where he is right now is
- 4:19Speaker 3: a good thing. And expand maybe as you go, Uh,
- 4:23Speaker 3: I don't you know, we're only two weeks in, you know,
- 4:25Speaker 3: of camp, and and you know there's a lot of
- 4:28Speaker 3: football ahead of us, so we're just gonna pump the
- 4:30Speaker 3: brakes and and make sure he's you know, he's good
- 4:32Speaker 3: of what he can handle.
- 4:34Speaker 8: Much growth have you seen from Devon Hamilton over the
- 4:36Speaker 8: last year A lot?
- 4:39Speaker 5: Are you pleased with where he's at?
- 4:40Speaker 9: Do you think there's more to his game that that
- 4:42Speaker 9: can be showing the field?
- 4:43Speaker 3: You know, Devon really showed up, you know last year.
- 4:48Speaker 3: That's why he, you know, got the extension. We wanted
- 4:50Speaker 3: to keep him around. He's one of the guys, one
- 4:52Speaker 3: of the leaders on the team on the defense, and
- 4:54Speaker 3: you know, he's a he's a big, powerful guy, you know,
- 4:57Speaker 3: in there as the D lineman, and he can he
- 5:00Speaker 3: can generate some push and that's what you want in
- 5:02Speaker 3: the middle of your pocket, right And he's really a
- 5:07Speaker 3: good run defender and and so you know, all those
- 5:11Speaker 3: things we've seen the same things, you know this camp
- 5:13Speaker 3: with him, you know, when the pads are on, and
- 5:16Speaker 3: and his physicality and you know what he brings to
- 5:19Speaker 3: that D line.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Press Taylor laid out some expectations for the
- 5:24Speaker 1: first preseason performance.
- 5:26Speaker 10: I think the expectation for them is to have clear
- 5:28Speaker 10: communication in the huddle, substitutions in and out, being really
- 5:32Speaker 10: crisp with the line of scrimmage. You want to see
- 5:34Speaker 10: just clean operation that everybody understands the excitement. It's not
- 5:38Speaker 10: some exotic game plan with a lot going on. It's
- 5:40Speaker 10: core stuff that these guys know really well. So we anticipate,
- 5:44Speaker 10: uh them being clean with their operation execution and that
- 5:46Speaker 10: that's really what you want to see. You want to
- 5:48Speaker 10: a good feel for just their confidence, get them kind
- 5:51Speaker 10: of back into being in a huddle. Something's on the
- 5:54Speaker 10: line more so than practice, you know. So that's that's
- 5:57Speaker 10: really what you're looking for from the ones early on
- 5:59Speaker 10: a lot.
- 6:01Speaker 11: Do you feel like you now have a feel for
- 6:03Speaker 11: everything he brains and if so, does that expand.
- 6:05Speaker 7: What you can do?
- 6:06Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, we spend a lot of time kind
- 6:09Speaker 10: of investigating into what he done, what his skill set,
- 6:12Speaker 10: well we thought his skill set was.
- 6:13Speaker 12: Now as you.
- 6:14Speaker 10: Get him on the grass with us and you know,
- 6:17Speaker 10: ask him to do certain things and see it, Yeah,
- 6:19Speaker 10: I think your your opinion or your knowledge of his
- 6:21Speaker 10: skill set grows a little more. So it's always about
- 6:24Speaker 10: trying to tailor everything we do to what fits him
- 6:26Speaker 10: well within the scheme that matches Trevor, you know, kind
- 6:29Speaker 10: of building that whole plan. So I definitely think our
- 6:32Speaker 10: knowledge of his skill set has grown from the time
- 6:35Speaker 10: we got him to you know, what we think we
- 6:37Speaker 10: can do with him early on, and I think that's
- 6:39Speaker 10: that's an ever going process and that's kind of what
- 6:41Speaker 10: happened with our guys last year of you know, through
- 6:43Speaker 10: the middle of the year, we really honed in on
- 6:45Speaker 10: who does what really well? What does Trevor see really well?
- 6:47Speaker 10: And how do we build this thing together?
- 6:48Speaker 6: Were their exciting moments when you figured out, wow, he
- 6:52Speaker 6: can do X, but he.
- 6:53Speaker 12: Can do why with Calvin?
- 6:54Speaker 10: Ye mean, yeah, I mean I think just seeing it
- 6:57Speaker 10: in person and feeling the power that he comes off
- 6:59Speaker 10: the ball and how much it scares people, you know,
- 7:02Speaker 10: dbs from us standing there and wraps on air twenty
- 7:04Speaker 10: yards away from and running right at you. I can
- 7:07Speaker 10: get where that would be a terrifying feeling if you're
- 7:08Speaker 10: a defensive back and you got to cover the deep third.
- 7:11Speaker 10: So I think just getting to see that, feel that
- 7:14Speaker 10: from him, and then you know, the ideas are kind
- 7:16Speaker 10: of flowing through your mind at that point of what
- 7:17Speaker 10: you could do with this guy.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Moving on to the quarterback, Trevor Lawrence this week was
- 7:21Speaker 1: asked about his knowledge of the scheme overall and comfort
- 7:25Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage.
- 7:26Speaker 13: Yeah, I feel really comfortable feel really confident. I feel
- 7:29Speaker 13: like that's me, but that's also the other guys. We've
- 7:32Speaker 13: We've had so much experience together and so many different
- 7:35Speaker 13: situations we've seen. It's nice to be able to lean
- 7:37Speaker 13: on those when you come down, you know, for your
- 7:39Speaker 13: second camp in this system, to lean on some you
- 7:41Speaker 13: can go back to week whatever fourteen last year and
- 7:44Speaker 13: remember checking this play against this team and this coverage,
- 7:46Speaker 13: and so the call comes up again and you see
- 7:48Speaker 13: the same thing. It's like, all right, remember when we
- 7:49Speaker 13: did this, and you can just get to it quick.
- 7:51Speaker 13: So I think that is that's so valuable when you
- 7:54Speaker 13: think about an offense and just being able to do
- 7:56Speaker 13: that and get yourself in the play that you want
- 7:58Speaker 13: and as a quarterback that I feel of it and
- 8:00Speaker 13: I can just go play free because I know what
- 8:01Speaker 13: I want, I know what I like, and I know
- 8:03Speaker 13: what my guys are good at.
- 8:04Speaker 14: Play in a certain amount of preseason coming up these
- 8:08Speaker 14: next couple of games, and.
- 8:09Speaker 13: What do you need to see here.
- 8:11Speaker 1: And in there to feel good?
- 8:13Speaker 12: You asked, Do I do I need to play?
- 8:15Speaker 1: Play?
- 8:16Speaker 3: You feel like you've got to get out there in
- 8:17Speaker 3: these game situations?
- 8:19Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean that's something we're going to talk about
- 8:22Speaker 13: and you know, it's kind of whatever whatever coach wants
- 8:23Speaker 13: to do. And obviously I think it's valuable to get
- 8:26Speaker 13: some reps, and especially you got a few new pieces,
- 8:28Speaker 13: get some get some live game reps where it is
- 8:31Speaker 13: full speed, it's full contact. You know, there's something on
- 8:33Speaker 13: the line. You know, I think that's definitely valuable. You know,
- 8:36Speaker 13: who knows how much that'll be. Whatever it'll whatever it is,
- 8:38Speaker 13: I'll be ready. And uh what, you just want to
- 8:40Speaker 13: be clean, you want to execute, you want your offense
- 8:42Speaker 13: to look sharp, you want to you want to make
- 8:44Speaker 13: the plays, you want to be smart, do all that stuff,
- 8:46Speaker 13: and just be clean. I think that's the main objective.
- 8:49Speaker 13: Obviously to play well too, but that's the same thing
- 8:51Speaker 13: for whether it's a starters or whoever's in there. To
- 8:54Speaker 13: play well and execute our offense, you know, just like
- 8:56Speaker 13: we're doing out here. Just carry that over to a
- 8:57Speaker 13: different opponent and go win the game. So you know,
- 9:00Speaker 13: however much that is, we don't. I don't know the
- 9:01Speaker 13: details of that yet, but we'll be ready.
- 9:03Speaker 8: Twitter has been asking have you even approached about the
- 9:06Speaker 8: Quarterback series on Netflix?
- 9:09Speaker 1: Yeah? I was.
- 9:09Speaker 13: I was approached, you know, I didn't decided to not
- 9:12Speaker 13: do it this year, but you know, that was just
- 9:15Speaker 13: something where I feel like but just not the right
- 9:17Speaker 13: time for me. Who knows, maybe in the future, but
- 9:19Speaker 13: you know, I think it's a really good I watched
- 9:21Speaker 13: the show though. The show was great. I think they
- 9:22Speaker 13: did a great job. So but yeah, that's pretty much
- 9:25Speaker 13: it there.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Now to a rookie making his debut this weekend, first
- 9:29Speaker 1: round draft pick right tackle and Tom Harrison. He used
- 9:32Speaker 1: to watch Brandon Sheriff in Washington and now he can
- 9:36Speaker 1: pick the brains of all the veterans.
- 9:38Speaker 2: That was a guy watching him growing up.
- 9:40Speaker 15: He played for my hometown team, so watching him growing
- 9:43Speaker 15: up the all prouty years. Now playing beside him is great.
- 9:46Speaker 15: Trying to learn from him every day and just copy
- 9:48Speaker 15: what he do every day to make myself great. I'm
- 9:50Speaker 15: always asking questions, no matter if it's a little question,
- 9:52Speaker 15: big question. I'm always asking them guys, and they always
- 9:54Speaker 15: got to answer for me and they always open to us,
- 9:56Speaker 15: so it's never I'm never going to hold anything back.
- 9:59Speaker 15: So if I have a question on my asses, so
- 10:00Speaker 15: it has been big and Age has always been my
- 10:02Speaker 15: support at one hundred percent.
- 10:04Speaker 1: All the press conferences from the week at Jaguars dot
- 10:06Speaker 1: Com or the Jags YouTube channel. Speaking of one of
- 10:09Speaker 1: those offensive line vets, I caught up with tenth year
- 10:12Speaker 1: tackled Josh Wells after Thursday's practice. He's back in Jacksonville
- 10:16Speaker 1: where he started his career and explain some reasons why.
- 10:20Speaker 11: Definitely different. It's exciting to be back. New culture, new team,
- 10:25Speaker 11: the new facility. It's all very exciting. It's still I
- 10:28Speaker 11: still get excited about it. Training camps obviously still really tough.
- 10:33Speaker 11: It takes longer to get a little warmed up, but
- 10:35Speaker 11: still very exciting. The line room is incredible, best I've
- 10:38Speaker 11: ever been in and just very exciting to still play.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Got a mix of vets here, some young guys in
- 10:44Speaker 1: this line. Just the mix of this room and with
- 10:48Speaker 1: Rauscher at the lead of it, this is a fun group.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:51Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I've I've had great A line coaches
- 10:53Speaker 11: in the past. I've had I've had some other ones.
- 10:56Speaker 11: Phil's definitely different than any of them. He's young and
- 10:59Speaker 11: exciting and gives you the freedom to play, gives the
- 11:02Speaker 11: room freedom to be themselves, which is really exciting and
- 11:06Speaker 11: really awesome. And like you said, the mix of players
- 11:08Speaker 11: is great, from old to young, and we just all
- 11:11Speaker 11: get along and have fun and then work hard when
- 11:13Speaker 11: we need to.
- 11:14Speaker 1: What did they tell you about your role?
- 11:15Speaker 2: What what drew you back to Jackson?
- 11:18Speaker 11: I feel like being home with my family first, But
- 11:22Speaker 11: on the field, I think just the ability to mentor
- 11:24Speaker 11: younger guys. I think now my role is to pass
- 11:28Speaker 11: down everything I know. Obviously I want to keep playing
- 11:30Speaker 11: for a while, but I don't know when this will
- 11:32Speaker 11: be over. I want to pass along everything I know.
- 11:35Speaker 11: Help mold a guy like Anton, I say, mold him.
- 11:39Speaker 11: He's already super physically gifted. Just tell him everything I know.
- 11:42Speaker 11: Help any way I can and still be able to
- 11:44Speaker 11: fill in and play at a high level if called upon.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Josh wells with us to that point. What have you
- 11:49Speaker 1: liked about Anton so far? Is he open to that
- 11:52Speaker 1: kind of stuff? And how talented is he?
- 11:55Speaker 11: He's He's got some of the best feet I've ever
- 11:58Speaker 11: seen from a young guy. He's very humble, he's very quiet,
- 12:03Speaker 11: but we have conversations kind of off to the side
- 12:05Speaker 11: and kind of built a little friendship just quietly off
- 12:08Speaker 11: to the side and things like that. And he listens
- 12:11Speaker 11: to everything, and obviously just physically gifted and really just
- 12:14Speaker 11: studies the game and tries to get to know the
- 12:16Speaker 11: game already. And that's and that's not typical of a
- 12:19Speaker 11: young guy.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Obviously, down in Tampa, you're around the goat. Are there
- 12:23Speaker 1: attributes that Trevor has seen, at least so far being
- 12:27Speaker 1: around him in the offseason that he can maybe aspire
- 12:30Speaker 1: to close to number twelve?
- 12:32Speaker 11: Yeah, I think the way that Trevor practice is the
- 12:35Speaker 11: big big thing with Tom and Tampa was he just
- 12:38Speaker 11: competed at practice, always wanted to be better, and even
- 12:40Speaker 11: if the play was okay, realizing that it might not
- 12:43Speaker 11: be that good in the game and trying to keep
- 12:45Speaker 11: competing and keep fixing it. And I've always said the
- 12:47Speaker 11: biggest thing with Tom was he would come into the
- 12:50Speaker 11: room and raise the bar for everybody, but you felt
- 12:53Speaker 11: more comfortable to reach the bar because he was there.
- 12:56Speaker 11: And I think here with Trevor the bar is high man,
- 12:59Speaker 11: but with Trever at quarterback, you're like more confident and
- 13:02Speaker 11: comfortable to reach the bar. So although the bar went up,
- 13:05Speaker 11: we feel more confident to reach it because he's he's
- 13:07Speaker 11: at quarterback.

- 14:46Speaker 1: in quarterback sacks. I caught up with Jags defensive line

- 14:59Speaker 17: can't you just banging and you don't get the satisfaction
- 15:02Speaker 17: of getting the tackle and getting to the ball. So
- 15:04Speaker 17: for my group, there's a chance to get some game
- 15:07Speaker 17: type action and get rewarded for doing their job and
- 15:10Speaker 17: beating the block.
- 15:10Speaker 1: All right, tell us about the kids. Tyler Lacy traf
- 15:13Speaker 1: to pick this year. Start with him. What does he
- 15:15Speaker 1: flash so far? He's flashed some athleticism.
- 15:18Speaker 17: I think, like most college guys, you got to get
- 15:20Speaker 17: your grown man strength and he's finding out. Hey, everybody
- 15:23Speaker 17: in the NFL is an NFL player. But he has
- 15:26Speaker 17: some athleticism and he's able to go inside, outside and move.
- 15:29Speaker 17: He got some quickness. Now it's time to catch his
- 15:32Speaker 17: strength up with his body as you keep on developing.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Ravend Bohasek had a couple of tackles for loss today.
- 15:36Speaker 1: It looked like, so, how's his camp overall, Ben? And
- 15:39Speaker 1: then the breakout today till today.
- 15:42Speaker 17: You know, he was struggling because he didn't have the
- 15:44Speaker 17: spring and so his first time at the NFL speed
- 15:47Speaker 17: was training camp, and today he had the flashes. You know,
- 15:52Speaker 17: he got in the backfield penetration. He's learning his body too.
- 15:55Speaker 17: You know where you see him. He's smaller than everybody.
- 15:57Speaker 17: By what I told him, that's a plus in the
- 15:59Speaker 17: NFL because you got built there in leverage and you
- 16:02Speaker 17: saw him play today. So now he's got a couple
- 16:04Speaker 17: of building block plays that he can see where his
- 16:06Speaker 17: leverage and his quickness helps him to dominate the line
- 16:09Speaker 17: of scrimmage.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Is this a group that can develop in the next
- 16:13Speaker 1: three weeks and get home in the pass rush more consistently.
- 16:17Speaker 17: Yes, we can get home.
- 16:18Speaker 12: You know we got home last year.
- 16:19Speaker 17: We just didn't tackled the quarterback. We had twenty nine
- 16:22Speaker 17: missed opportunities miss sacks, So we didn't have a Russian problem.
- 16:25Speaker 17: We had to get the quarterback on the ground problem.
- 16:28Speaker 17: But I think these guys can You know, these guys
- 16:30Speaker 17: are athletic, they do it in their own different way,
- 16:33Speaker 17: but now they learn to work together and put the
- 16:34Speaker 17: puzzle together. But what's gonna help them, Like most edge
- 16:38Speaker 17: Russiers are having big guys in the middle that can
- 16:40Speaker 17: push the pocket, that can limit where the quarterback can go.
- 16:43Speaker 17: And I think with Foley, you know, doing what he's
- 16:45Speaker 17: doing in fifty two, Hamilton building and Roy and then
- 16:48Speaker 17: throwing in some other guys that can push the pocket,
- 16:51Speaker 17: it makes the area that the outside guys had to
- 16:53Speaker 17: cover that much smaller and now they become better pass rushers.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Outside linebacker Trayvon Walker enters his second and a season,
- 17:00Speaker 1: and he's confident in taking the next step with this
- 17:03Speaker 1: defensive scheme.
- 17:04Speaker 7: I'm not really stressing about work learning the plays like
- 17:07Speaker 7: I know the plays. Basically, I'm just taking it. Like
- 17:10Speaker 7: I keep saying, I'm taking it to a new level.
- 17:12Speaker 7: So basically like algebra to pre cal you know what
- 17:14Speaker 7: I'm saying, just add on to my game. At this point,
- 17:17Speaker 7: I know the scheme, I know things that I need
- 17:20Speaker 7: to work on, so coming in from the offseason, try
- 17:22Speaker 7: to take those things that I was learning the offseason
- 17:24Speaker 7: and complimenting it to my game now.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Middle linebacker Fourier lui Can led the league in tackles
- 17:29Speaker 1: last season for a second straight year. He was asked
- 17:33Speaker 1: this week if he resets his goals after leading the
- 17:36Speaker 1: NFL yet again.
- 17:38Speaker 18: Win more games. Do whatever I need to help the
- 17:40Speaker 18: team win. I could be a better tackler. I could
- 17:42Speaker 18: be a better facilitator out there. I could break better
- 17:45Speaker 18: for sure, I could understand coverage is better. Like all
- 17:48Speaker 18: the lists are out there to see that it's room
- 17:50Speaker 18: for me to grow every day. I'm coming out here
- 17:51Speaker 18: trying to improve my game, trying to prove that I'm
- 17:54Speaker 18: still growing in this league. I'm still becoming a better player.
- 17:56Speaker 1: I caught up with third year safety Andre Cisco after
- 17:59Speaker 1: a practice this week and ask him how his added
- 18:03Speaker 1: muscle mass could help his game this season.
- 18:05Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it adds a little bit of confidence
- 18:07Speaker 9: to just know that, you know, you got the armor
- 18:09Speaker 9: to go in and get with the big guys and
- 18:11Speaker 9: get dirty like that. That's that's been the biggest thing
- 18:13Speaker 9: I think, adding from last year that I want to
- 18:15Speaker 9: get more physical on the field.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Just play to play.
- 18:18Speaker 9: So yeah, it feels good.
- 18:20Speaker 1: This defense as a whole.
- 18:22Speaker 2: What is the what is the next step for the scroup?
- 18:25Speaker 1: It was an opportunistic group last year, takeaways and key moments,
- 18:28Speaker 1: especially down the stretch. But where where can you guys
- 18:31Speaker 1: make hay this year? Overall?
- 18:32Speaker 9: I mean, we can get better. I'm gonna start with
- 18:34Speaker 9: the back end. We can get better just expecting passes
- 18:37Speaker 9: and understand what's coming on a certain down and distance
- 18:39Speaker 9: to certain situations, and then take away a few plays
- 18:42Speaker 9: a game and you you jumped from last to first
- 18:45Speaker 9: very easily in this league. When when you just kind
- 18:47Speaker 9: of get on your details and take away the ones
- 18:49Speaker 9: that that you should know where's coming, make the routine
- 18:51Speaker 9: plays routinely.
- 18:52Speaker 1: There's not a lot of new faces around here, at
- 18:54Speaker 1: least in the first team defense continuity can can build
- 18:58Speaker 1: a lot of that too, right when you have the
- 19:00Speaker 1: same group of guys and growing together.
- 19:02Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think that's the biggest thing because
- 19:04Speaker 9: I know for me, me and Ray, we try to
- 19:05Speaker 9: get more creative. Now you know understand the defense and
- 19:09Speaker 9: certain things that have to happen on each play. You
- 19:10Speaker 9: could move guys around and still make it happen. So
- 19:12Speaker 9: just you know, they put in our hands and allow
- 19:14Speaker 9: us to have a little bit more freedom with that,
- 19:16Speaker 9: and so it makes the defense more complex and harder
- 19:18Speaker 9: to read.
- 19:19Speaker 1: How challenging is this wide receiver group to cover each
- 19:22Speaker 1: day and see running routes against you?
- 19:24Speaker 7: Oh?
- 19:24Speaker 2: Man, I love it.
- 19:24Speaker 9: I mean it's like it's really the best thing for you.
- 19:27Speaker 9: I mean when you look at all the highlights from
- 19:29Speaker 9: other camps and them showing receivers, I'm like, it's not
- 19:32Speaker 9: the same. Like we got something different and going into
- 19:34Speaker 9: games like, it's just gonna make me that more patient,
- 19:36Speaker 9: that more confident, that much more confident, that much more comfortable.
- 19:39Speaker 2: How different, I mean, what's so different about this group?
- 19:42Speaker 1: Just technically the way they run.
- 19:44Speaker 9: I mean, you got a bunch of fast guys. Obviously
- 19:46Speaker 9: fast guys everywhere. But these guys, they know who their
- 19:48Speaker 9: quarterback is, they know what spots to get to, they
- 19:50Speaker 9: understand defense, and they work hard at their craft. You
- 19:53Speaker 9: don't got a bunch of lazy guys that pick plays
- 19:55Speaker 9: and only go hard when to get in the ball.
- 19:57Speaker 9: I mean, they all go hard every play, so it
- 19:59Speaker 9: keeps my toes in and make sure I'm down on
- 20:01Speaker 9: the balls over my head.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Another you mentioned the quarterback seeing him from the back end,
- 20:06Speaker 1: how has he changed over the last couple of years,
- 20:09Speaker 1: just reading and looking and his comfortability in the offense.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I'm sure you can see that from the back end.
- 20:15Speaker 1: And the challenge of you know, him trying to look
- 20:17Speaker 1: you off all the time.
- 20:18Speaker 9: Yeah, very decisive, but like also doesn't make a lot
- 20:21Speaker 9: of bad decisions, so it's pretty hard to pick him off.
- 20:24Speaker 9: I'm not gonna lie, but it makes it. It's a
- 20:25Speaker 9: good challenge because I mean, you could be perfect gonna
- 20:28Speaker 9: play and in terms of maybe if he tried to
- 20:30Speaker 9: look you off, he's still in position and he knows
- 20:32Speaker 9: not to throw it. You know, he knows when to
- 20:34Speaker 9: make those when to take those chances at the right time.
- 20:36Speaker 9: So I mean, have a guy like that to practice
- 20:38Speaker 9: against and then to have him as a quarterback on
- 20:39Speaker 9: game day is a blessing for sure.
- 20:41Speaker 1: And finally, a special teams approach. That's how many younger
- 20:45Speaker 1: players will have to crack the fifty three man roster
- 20:48Speaker 1: and that's how wide receiver Tim Jones did it a
- 20:50Speaker 1: year ago, and he shared his approach after the end
- 20:53Speaker 1: stadium practice last Saturday.
- 20:55Speaker 4: The first and most important thing is, I mean, every
- 20:57Speaker 4: single day you gotta come out and attack man no
- 20:59Speaker 4: better if you're feeling you know, down or up, I mean,
- 21:01Speaker 4: whatever it is going on. I mean, it doesn't matter.
- 21:04Speaker 4: You got to come out here and you know, earn
- 21:05Speaker 4: your job every single year and especially you know when
- 21:08Speaker 4: a person like me and my situation, you know, undrafted,
- 21:11Speaker 4: I mean that same situation every single year. It doesn't matter.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Safety. Daniel Thomas has made a career working on special
- 21:18Speaker 1: teams and loves a specific area of it.
- 21:21Speaker 8: First of all, Heath and Loup Man, they the best
- 21:23Speaker 8: best seam of coaches you want to have. Man, But
- 21:25Speaker 8: being able just to run down on kickoff and gunner,
- 21:28Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying, to save my speed and versatility,
- 21:31Speaker 8: that's one of my favorite points. And just being able
- 21:32Speaker 8: to just start the game off on kickoff and get
- 21:35Speaker 8: defense started. So that's one of my favorite parts.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Keep an eye on those younger players working on special
- 21:39Speaker 1: teams units in the preseason games, especially those fighting for
- 21:43Speaker 1: a spot as a wide receiver, tight end, or defensive back.
- 21:46Speaker 1: The difference could come down to those performances in those
- 21:49Speaker 1: special teams reps. Let's wrap this week with the first
- 21:52Speaker 1: Monday Jaguars Happy Hour show of the season featuring Hall
- 21:55Speaker 1: of Fame tackle Tony Basselli and CBS Sports senior writer
- 21:58Speaker 1: Pete Prisco and their predictions for the Jags in twenty
- 22:02Speaker 1: twenty three. That gets us going now to Keeping It
- 22:04Speaker 1: Real presented by Woodbridge by Robert Mundavi. Open Up a
- 22:07Speaker 1: winner today, Real Ingredients Award winning line by Robert Mundavi.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Of course, the Jags were Division champs last year, the
- 22:13Speaker 1: wild playoff come back in the wild Card round and
- 22:17Speaker 1: then in the game in Kansas City in the Division round.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Couldn't finish it out.
- 22:21Speaker 1: What is the record for the Jaguars in the regular
- 22:25Speaker 1: season and what is the result in the playoffs if
- 22:29Speaker 1: they get there.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Tony, would you like to start.
- 22:31Speaker 12: I'll let Pete go first. Thirteen and four, Number one seed.
- 22:39Speaker 12: They were offs win one win to lose the last one.
- 22:47Speaker 12: If they're the number one seed, they only have two games.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Losing the super Bowl.
- 22:52Speaker 12: They're losing the super Bowl. They're gonna be in Vegas.
- 22:56Speaker 12: That'd be a fun week.
- 22:58Speaker 1: I think.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Wow.
- 23:00Speaker 14: I mean, I'll just I mean, I'm not as I
- 23:04Speaker 14: don't know if I'll go as bullish as Pete, but.
- 23:05Speaker 2: I sure like that thirteen and four get the number
- 23:08Speaker 2: one seed though in the AFC.
- 23:10Speaker 12: I think it does.
- 23:11Speaker 4: I think it does if I take I tend to
- 23:13Speaker 4: agree with the record in their schedule, I mean their
- 23:16Speaker 4: schedule and.
- 23:17Speaker 12: The division and everybody else's division.
- 23:20Speaker 14: I think it gets him that I tend to agree
- 23:22Speaker 14: with them as far as if they get to thirteen
- 23:25Speaker 14: to four, I actually have them eleven and six, probably
- 23:31Speaker 14: two or three, probably three seed. I think they and
- 23:34Speaker 14: I think they win two playoff games with losing the
- 23:36Speaker 14: AFC title game on the road.
- 23:41Speaker 12: Make a bold prediction put him in the super Bowl.
- 23:43Speaker 12: You already did, Pete. I don't want to copy your
- 23:45Speaker 12: work again. Okay, all right, but hey, because he I'm actually.
- 23:52Speaker 14: I mean, and listen, I'm mister, I've been accused of
- 23:54Speaker 14: being sunshine Pumper. For my whole rainbows and yeah.
- 23:58Speaker 2: You think pot of gold that teal sunglasses.
- 24:02Speaker 14: I think this division is gonna be harder to win
- 24:06Speaker 14: than anyone else does because I think the Tennessee Titans
- 24:08Speaker 14: are going to be pretty good.
- 24:10Speaker 12: They're tough, They're always going to show up.
- 24:12Speaker 14: And I think they're better than they were last year.
- 24:14Speaker 14: It's a team that has good defense. They were beat
- 24:18Speaker 14: up at the end of last year. They're gonna be
- 24:20Speaker 14: healthy on defense.
- 24:21Speaker 2: You know, they're a fumble away from winning the division.
- 24:23Speaker 12: Last year they were fumble away. The offensive line has
- 24:26Speaker 12: offul line still has issues. It does, but they're improved.
- 24:29Speaker 14: I think getting DeAndre Hopkins is huge for the way
- 24:32Speaker 14: they want to play offense, running the ball with Derrick
- 24:34Speaker 14: Henry and if Tanny Hill can says healthy, it's a
- 24:37Speaker 14: better football team than they were last year.
- 24:39Speaker 12: They've improved.
- 24:41Speaker 11: Yeah, but Jackson is much better than they were a
- 24:42Speaker 11: year ago.
- 24:43Speaker 12: Two Offensively, I agree.
- 24:46Speaker 4: I'm making assumption to here that Walker goes from year
- 24:51Speaker 4: one year two, it gets better.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Lloyd goes from your and.
- 24:54Speaker 12: We talked about that beat. I don't agree with you.
- 24:56Speaker 12: I'm with you there.
- 24:58Speaker 14: I just even if that happens, I think. I mean,
- 25:00Speaker 14: I think those games against Tennessee are tough. I mean
- 25:05Speaker 14: tough gay always, and I think Tennessee's gonna I still
- 25:09Speaker 14: think this team will have to win the division in December,
- 25:12Speaker 14: and it won't be shit.
- 25:13Speaker 12: It will not shock me if they need to beat
- 25:16Speaker 12: the Titans on the road to win in at the end, Jassy,
- 25:19Speaker 12: I don't think so.
- 25:20Speaker 1: I think five and one in the division, three and
- 25:23Speaker 1: one on the North, I mean the South, the NFC South.
- 25:27Speaker 12: They'll be Kansas City, the sweltering heat at home. They
- 25:30Speaker 12: get Buffalo on London, which is an advantage. I think
- 25:34Speaker 12: it's schedule's favorable. I think they'll find a way to
- 25:36Speaker 12: win thirty teams. In fact, I said it last week.
- 25:38Speaker 1: On our air.
- 25:39Speaker 12: If they don't win thirteen game, I think I told
- 25:42Speaker 12: you James twelve fail.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Yeah, you said, if they don't win twelve, it's a fail.
- 25:47Speaker 2: That's what he said.
- 25:48Speaker 12: I'm not gonna go that far.
- 25:49Speaker 2: And I said even eleven, even if wins the division, eleven,
- 25:53Speaker 2: I mean fail fail I.
- 25:56Speaker 12: Beat Listen, Wow, I think I'm gonna end up being right.
- 25:59Speaker 14: I hope I'm wrong, and I hope you're right, because
- 26:01Speaker 14: if they get the number one seed and are in
- 26:03Speaker 14: Vegas for the Super Bowl. I'm in You're gonna go
- 26:09Speaker 14: to that one. No, I'm just saying I'm in for that.
- 26:11Speaker 14: I'm that, I'm in the way. And by the way,
- 26:14Speaker 14: I will be the first Pete I'll buy you dinner.
- 26:18Speaker 2: I will.
- 26:20Speaker 14: I will publicly on this show say Pete Prisco is
- 26:22Speaker 14: smarter than I am when it comes to predicting uh
- 26:27Speaker 14: outcomes of football teams.
- 26:29Speaker 12: I mean, whatever you want me to say, Pete, if
- 26:30Speaker 12: you're right, I'm in. Well, not only that, Tony.
- 26:34Speaker 11: Here's the concern, though we've seen number one seeds in
- 26:38Speaker 11: the AFC and Jacksonville choke away chances to go to
- 26:41Speaker 11: the Super Bowl.
- 26:42Speaker 12: Don't be a jerk, Pete.
- 26:47Speaker 1: There is the evil Grinch laugh We've been waiting for
