Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville, Jaguar, Spain's welcome in to dovall daily presented by genjag.com and fueled by brass tax coffee right now.
- 0:07[SPEAKER_00]: We are talking the five players who will dominate Jaguar's training camp.
- 0:14[SPEAKER_00]: The five players who are going to have the most buzz, but not only the most buzz, they are actually going to be the best players on the field when it comes to training camp performance.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_00]: Offensive line defense of light, even in training camp, even when the pads are fully on, defensive linemen, they don't have the opportunity to hit the quarterback.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: They are not allowed to get close to the quarterback.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_00]: So even when they win, it's not as clear cut as it could be.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_00]: So I've only got one player on either line of scrimmage that is in this top five.
- 0:57[SPEAKER_00]: the rest of them are skill position players.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to go ahead and dive into it.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_00]: I am excited about this one very excited.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_00]: Just because thinking about who's actually going to show out on the practice field gets me thinking about getting out there on the grass, I am really excited for training camp.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot wait.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like,
- 1:19[SPEAKER_00]: For me personally, this has been like the longest off-season that we've had, a because like legitimate excitement about getting back to football because of how good the team was last year and how much talent I think there still is and the coaching and all that good stuff.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_00]: But there just weren't a lot of moves to talk about.
- 1:39[SPEAKER_00]: When it came to the draft, like what were they gonna do to really fill starting roles?
- 1:47[SPEAKER_00]: there weren't a lot of starting rules available.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I guess maybe it would have excited some people more if they took a lineback or early, um, a running back maybe, but outside of that, I mean, I just, there wasn't a lot to be done in the starting lineup.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_00]: And then they didn't do much in for agency.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_00]: The biggest move was like Chris Rodriguez.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's just felt like a very long offseason because there hasn't been as much like newness to talk about as there was certainly last year, and anyways, I'm excited to get into these players.
- 2:23[SPEAKER_00]: Top five players that I think will dominate Jaguar's training camp, really appreciate you all tuning in.

- 2:31[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to go five to one.
- 2:33[SPEAKER_00]: I've already got a list of 10.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about the other guys later on, and I'll probably just
- 2:39[SPEAKER_00]: Well, preview probably get into like 53 man roster prediction before training camp gets kicked off.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_00]: We'll probably do a final record prediction again before training camp gets kicked off.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: All that good stuff coming up over the next few days, which again, training camp is a week away.
- 2:58[SPEAKER_00]: This is coming out after noon of Wednesday, July 22nd.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_00]: By, you know, exactly a week from now, that first training camp product is going to be in the
- 3:08[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait, but yeah.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: Trayvon Walker comes in at number five for me.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_00]: I think when Liam Cohen speaks on something and speaks like pretty definitively,
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: about his players that usually kind of comes to fruition, and he challenged Traveham Walker to be dominant, and he didn't compare Traveham necessarily to an air and Donald, but he said he wanted Traveham to dominate practice to the point where they got to take him off the field because he just disrupting things too often.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're going to see some of that and you saw Liam Cohen speak to that about how things were going in practice earlier this spring.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_00]: I think Trayvon Walker, fully healthy, ready to roll, starting to enter his prime, second year in this defense.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_00]: I think Trayvon Walker is gonna have a huge year for the Jack Wars and I think he's gonna have some really dominant moments and practices and they're gonna have to take him off to field some.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_00]: Usually when Liam Cohen kind of speaks on that type of thing, it comes to fruition.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, for sure, I'll drive home walk or I think he's gonna do really well.
- 4:19[SPEAKER_00]: At number four, I have Parker Washington.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: Parker Washington has been a,
- 4:30[SPEAKER_00]: practice star for a long time in Jacksonville.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there was flashes during his rookie year, but really his second year, a lot of big plays during training camp, third year, a lot of big plays during training camp.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's gonna continue.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_00]: This guy was a target monster for the Jaguar is down the stretch last year.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to lead the Jaguars and catches this year.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_00]: and I think he's gonna be featured at all three levels of the field and all areas of the field pretty consistently.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_00]: I expect Parker Washington to have a fantastic training camp.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_00]: Now, will he be looking to try to earn that second contract still or will the Jaguar's get a contract done with Parker Washington before training camp gets kicked off?
- 5:21[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very hopeful.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: that it's before training camp.
- 5:24[SPEAKER_00]: But either, you know, that's just like more for Parker and just to secure the future there with Parker.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: I want him in Jacksonman.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_00]: He's a good player.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: He is, Liam Cohen was telling Peter Schreger, which I highly encourage y'all to go check out the Schreger hour podcast.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_00]: Liam Cohen was on there for a long time talking.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_00]: All things jags with Schreger.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: but talked about how Parker first guy in the building, hard worker, changed his mind, changed his body all the time, constantly going.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_00]: So he was highly complimentary of Parker.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_00]: And he's just got a really unique skill set, great yak player, but despite not being super tall, really undersized from a height perspective, he's really good in contested situations, in great separation.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: Great partner, too, Wesley, I'm gonna point it out.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, great partner, I think Parker Washington is gonna dominate training camp.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_00]: I think Brian Thomas Jr. is gonna dominate training camp.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_00]: He's been dominant so far, this offseason, this spring into early summer.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's going to continue.
- 6:38[SPEAKER_00]: The deep ball is back in Jacksonville.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_00]: It's been back since the first practice we were allowed to attend, and every practice since then.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_00]: You have seen Trevor Lawrence connecting deep down the field with Brian Thomas Jr.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: I think that connection continues.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_00]: I think BTJ is on a mission to prove
- 6:58[SPEAKER_00]: to everyone including himself that he is not what he put on the field early last year that he is a star and I think you're going to see that throughout training camp so I'm excited to see Brian Thomas Jr. for sure and the next two are I would say the two most high profile names on the jackwars I think they're both going to ball out Travis Hunter at number two I think Travis Hunter
- 7:27[SPEAKER_00]: He had a great training camp last year.
- 7:29[SPEAKER_00]: He made plays in coverage.
- 7:30[SPEAKER_00]: He made plays as a receiver.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_00]: And you're gonna continue to see that.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like the guy is unbelievable.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: He was my favorite draft prospect last year.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably my favorite draft prospect I've watched.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: Ever, which I started really, really,
- 7:51[SPEAKER_00]: getting into the draft around 2017, 2016, probably just like the most talented pure corner and receiver I've ever seen, just like the physical ability to make plays on both sides of the ball.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the best hands, leaping ability, speed, quickness, eluciveness,
- 8:18[SPEAKER_00]: and then instincts on the defensive side of the ball and coverage, I think he's gonna have an amazing, amazing training camp.
- 8:26[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he's going to play more on offense during training camp, because, again, we've talked about it.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_00]: He's just ahead from a mental standpoint at the corner back position.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_00]: And look, the corner back position in the Jaguar's defense and in kind of in general, is not as complicated as the receiver position.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_00]: uh... the jack's defense presents a lot of issues for opposing offenses when it comes to corner uh... opposing mental issues for for opposing offenses you know the post-nap rotations in coverage up the spine of the defense the defensive front playing all sorts of games and giving you different looks
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: But the cornerback spot in this defense is not the most complicated spot.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_00]: Travis Hunter, I think, is ready to be a dominant corner still trending and working to be a top flight receiver from the technical and mental side of things.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to have a great camp though, and I can't wait to see it, and that leads us to Trevor Lawrence, who Liam Cohen has been super complimentary of, and look, people, I see people saying this all the time, well, Liam Cohen, of course, is going to be complimentary of his players.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: When his players are not playing well, he will say that.
- 9:50[SPEAKER_00]: He will tell you, and he will tell them.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: when they are playing well, you'll also say that.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_00]: And Trevor Lawrence, he has been super hyped about the way Trevor Lawrence finished last season, the way he's attacked this off season, the way he's performed and practiced so far throughout, you know, OTAs and many camp.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_00]: I think Trevor is the real deal in this offense.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: He's got really good weapons around him.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_00]: He's got more comfortability going into your two of this offense.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: I think Trevor is gonna have a big time training camp.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: I really do.
- 10:29[SPEAKER_00]: And that's not to take anything away.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: I think there will be back and forth between the Jaguar's defense and the Jaguar's offense.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Trevor's gonna have a perfect training camp to where there's no bad days, but I think overall he's gonna have a great camp.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_00]: They're gonna complete a ton of passes and be very efficient and be really ready to roll when they enter the regular season against the Cleveland Browns.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_00]: Who do have a talented defense?
- 10:57[SPEAKER_00]: Denver Broncos, talented defense, Patriots, talented defense.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_00]: I think Trevor Lawrence is going to roll early on in this season.
- 11:05[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's going to start right here in training camp.
- 11:08[SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all tuning in.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_00]: We will get into five less-heralded names, five players who I still think will make a huge impact in training camp.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_00]: Probably tomorrow and again, we'll do like a 53-man roster.
- 11:20[SPEAKER_00]: We'll do final record predictions some other fun things leading up to training camp Which is one week away.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_00]: Can't wait for it.
