- 1:27Speaker 4: We're not talking about money bats, you know.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Well, they were about what a minute early last week?
- 1:33Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:34Speaker 4: About No, it was about three or four minutes early.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Yeah, it was caughugh On time, No chance, No, it
- 1:40Speaker 4: was coffling time. It definitely was Cauughlin time. But we'll
- 1:43Speaker 4: see what I'd anticipate, maybe even being a little bit
- 1:46Speaker 4: late today, you think, so. Yeah, you know, they got
- 1:48Speaker 4: a little comfortable, you know last week.
- 1:50Speaker 1: You gotta keep them, you gotta keep them going.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Yeah, now, looking forward to having them on. It was
- 1:55Speaker 4: awesome to have them on last week. And I appreciate
- 1:58Speaker 4: their their viewpoint. And the great thing is that there
- 2:01Speaker 4: has been two padded practices to talk about today with
- 2:06Speaker 4: those guys. Yeah, you know, because last week they you know,
- 2:08Speaker 4: I asked them the question, what are you guys looking
- 2:11Speaker 4: forward to watching? And they said everything, you know, and everybody.
- 2:14Speaker 4: So I was kind of asking them for a couple
- 2:16Speaker 4: of guys in particular, and you know, I think they
- 2:18Speaker 4: were both pretty much adamant that they wanted to see
- 2:21Speaker 4: everything in pads. Well, you've got two days to look
- 2:23Speaker 4: at today they were in spiders after a day off Yesterday,
- 2:29Speaker 4: Tomorrow full pads and scrimmage. And it's going to be
- 2:32Speaker 4: fun to watch. For the people that are coming, You're
- 2:34Speaker 4: going to actually have a great opportunity to see this
- 2:36Speaker 4: football team and as close to game action as you
- 2:40Speaker 4: can get without live tackling free. We'll have all the
- 2:44Speaker 4: info on how to get in and all that coming
- 2:47Speaker 4: up in just a little bit. So the first two
- 2:49Speaker 4: pads days were Monday and Tuesday logs and they were hot.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Man, it was hot.
- 2:54Speaker 4: It was warm. Yeah, I think Monday and Tuesday the uh,
- 2:58Speaker 4: you know, and the practices are in the morning. But
- 2:59Speaker 4: you know, typically in the morning, humidity is really high.
- 3:02Speaker 4: The temperature is not quite as high, but there's the
- 3:05Speaker 4: doldrums of the morning summertime in Jacksonville. And for people
- 3:10Speaker 4: that don't know, for the fishermen, they know first in
- 3:12Speaker 4: the morning it's kind of cooler and then you hit
- 3:15Speaker 4: this period that's kind of between that ten eleven thirty
- 3:19Speaker 4: window where there's very little to no breeze whatsoever. The
- 3:23Speaker 4: humidity is still high and starting to come down a
- 3:26Speaker 4: little bit, but then the heat is creeping up and
- 3:29Speaker 4: it's flat out miserable. And they're practicing in that and
- 3:32Speaker 4: they're off the field by ten thirty, ten forty five,
- 3:35Speaker 4: but it's still.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Yeah, by the end of practice, it is toasty.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Did you see the ice box thing that they have
- 3:42Speaker 4: on the other side.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Of the field. There's some like rented trailer kind of
- 3:46Speaker 1: thing with the air condition.
- 3:47Speaker 4: Yeah, they least it. Yeah, okay, and we'll talk about
- 3:50Speaker 4: this with Tony and James, but I got the skinny
- 3:55Speaker 4: on that thing. So, folks, if you came to practice
- 3:59Speaker 4: to the Miller Electric Center and we're sitting in the stands,
- 4:03Speaker 4: you're looking straight down the field, and across the field
- 4:07Speaker 4: is the inside facility, the AstroTurf facility. To your left
- 4:14Speaker 4: on the sidelines of field two, there's this It looks
- 4:17Speaker 4: like a single wide trailer. I mean, that's probably the
- 4:20Speaker 4: best way to take.
- 4:21Speaker 1: A mini shipping container.
- 4:23Speaker 4: Almost kind of yeah, a single white trailer, shipping container,
- 4:26Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it.
- 4:27Speaker 1: But it's like an ice box.
- 4:29Speaker 4: The temperature in there is between thirty six and thirty
- 4:33Speaker 4: eight degrees and so immediately after practice or if a
- 4:37Speaker 4: player overheats during practice and it's a concern, they can
- 4:41Speaker 4: get the body the core temperature cooled down quickly by
- 4:44Speaker 4: taking the player into the ice box. And the players
- 4:48Speaker 4: are loving it. They're after practice, they're all going over there.
- 4:51Speaker 4: If they're not doing anything extra, they're all going over
- 4:54Speaker 4: there and sitting in there because you've had that feeling before,
- 4:57Speaker 4: and so is everybody in Jacksonville. Right, you're outside, you're working,
- 5:01Speaker 4: and then you're sweating, and then all of a sudden
- 5:03Speaker 4: you go in, you take a shower, but you're still sweating. Well,
- 5:07Speaker 4: they'll sit in the ice box for ten to fifteen minutes.
- 5:10Speaker 4: You come out of it wanting some yearning for some heat,
- 5:14Speaker 4: and then that core temperature comes down and it helps
- 5:17Speaker 4: him recover as well. What stands out the most between
- 5:20Speaker 4: the lines of the first to the physical aspect the
- 5:24Speaker 4: first practice, which was Monday, I thought the offensive line
- 5:27Speaker 4: did a really good job, you know. I thought that
- 5:29Speaker 4: they controlled the tempo in practice, and then Tuesday's practice,
- 5:34Speaker 4: I thought the defense matched it and equaled the physicality
- 5:39Speaker 4: that happened in the first practice, and that was impressive
- 5:41Speaker 4: because you don't want to see a one sided practice whatsoever.
- 5:45Speaker 4: But I mean it was very encouraging to me to
- 5:48Speaker 4: watch that first practice and to watch the offensive line.
- 5:52Speaker 4: And one of the guys that just really stood out
- 5:55Speaker 4: to me in those two days of PAD was Fred Johnson.
- 5:58Speaker 4: He is a mammoth man. I mean he is what
- 6:02Speaker 4: did they list him at? So Fred Johnson brought in
- 6:04Speaker 4: free agency six seven three twenty six. The only guy
- 6:09Speaker 4: I think that it would that would maybe make him
- 6:13Speaker 4: look small in the league is Jordan Mylotta, right, That's
- 6:17Speaker 4: the only guy now, I mean everybody else would be
- 6:21Speaker 4: considered small around Fred Johnson.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Beyond his size.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Why did he stand out to you because he was
- 6:26Speaker 4: mauling guys in a run game. And I'm talking mauling guys,
- 6:29Speaker 4: I'm talking driving them from JP where you are six
- 6:35Speaker 4: seventy yards to the other side of the ball. I
- 6:38Speaker 4: mean it was impressive. So I like that aspect. I
- 6:41Speaker 4: liked the physical part of it. I liked the physical
- 6:44Speaker 4: contact that they had. And it got a little bit
- 6:49Speaker 4: pushy on Tuesday as you were coming. I mean, you
- 6:52Speaker 4: were talking about when one of the things he gonna
- 6:54Speaker 4: get maybe a little little extra conditioning there after the
- 6:58Speaker 4: snap and I said probably Tuesday, And sure enough, on
- 7:02Speaker 4: Tuesday you had.
- 7:03Speaker 1: A little bit.
- 7:03Speaker 4: But it was never out of control. That's I think
- 7:05Speaker 4: that's the key point that Liam Cohen will like that. Okay, yeah,
- 7:09Speaker 4: you like the intensity, but police yourself. We're not hurting
- 7:13Speaker 4: the team. Yep, you might have a gentleman's disagreement, handle it,
- 7:16Speaker 4: move on. I think the first kind of physical and
- 7:21Speaker 4: it wasn't really an altercation, it was just a confrontation.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Was between la Quinn Allen and Foyer. Luca Allen, by
- 7:29Speaker 4: the way, rookie running back Foyer.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Luken's not a rookie. He's been around the league for no,
- 7:34Speaker 1: he's not. And it was and it was great, I
- 7:37Speaker 1: mean it was.
- 7:37Speaker 4: It wasn't that they didn't throw any blows or anything
- 7:39Speaker 4: like that, but it was a very uh serious confrontation,
- 7:44Speaker 4: a little bit of pushing, and uh, you know, you
- 7:47Speaker 4: like seeing that when you have a rookie, you know,
- 7:49Speaker 4: because I mean sometimes rookies. As a veteran guy, you
- 7:53Speaker 4: go after rookies and you give him a little extra
- 7:55Speaker 4: because you know, you think you're going to teach them
- 7:57Speaker 4: a lesson, and then all of a sudden you realize
- 8:00Speaker 4: as a veteran player that this rookie's not going to
- 8:03Speaker 4: take any crap and that he's going to stand his ground,
- 8:06Speaker 4: and you kind of you got to kind of maybe
- 8:10Speaker 4: push him a little bit, stand your ground a little bit,
- 8:13Speaker 4: try to claim your ground a little bit. But you
- 8:16Speaker 4: always like it inside when that rookie is not he's
- 8:20Speaker 4: not bowing.
- 8:21Speaker 1: To you, you like it. I like that.
- 8:24Speaker 4: I like thirty six. Now, yeah, we'll get to the
- 8:27Speaker 4: running backs here in a little bit. I mean, there's
- 8:29Speaker 4: a lot to like about that group so far. It
- 8:31Speaker 4: really is the whole group. I think that the level
- 8:34Speaker 4: of and we haven't played a game yet, Okay, so
- 8:38Speaker 4: let's give ourselves a little bit of a speeding ticket breaks, okay.
- 8:43Speaker 4: But I like what I've seen from that group because
- 8:47Speaker 4: it's a group that has competition, and when you get competition,
- 8:53Speaker 4: you're fighting for your job.
- 8:55Speaker 1: I mean, you're fighting for your share of the pie.
- 8:58Speaker 4: And so that group, as well as the defensive back group,
- 9:02Speaker 4: which we talked about last week as being competitive, I
- 9:06Speaker 4: think you can see the improvement in those groups and
- 9:10Speaker 4: the commitment that they have in practice, play in and
- 9:13Speaker 4: play out just because of the competitive nature of those positions. Yeah,
- 9:17Speaker 4: let's stick with them while we're already talking about it.
- 9:20Speaker 4: Bigsby and Etn of course, the veteran players, the running
- 9:24Speaker 4: back spot, and then the three rookies. Basil Touton was
- 9:27Speaker 4: back on the field today coming off a hamstring issue,
- 9:30Speaker 4: was working his way back in today. Rookie out of
- 9:32Speaker 4: Virginia Tech LeQuinn Allen Jr. You're talking about from Syracuse,
- 9:36Speaker 4: and then Jacquindin Jackson at six two thirty three out
- 9:40Speaker 4: of man So where's number thirty eight for people that
- 9:42Speaker 4: are going to be out the scrimmage and then also
- 9:44Speaker 4: watching him in the preseason, and I think a lot
- 9:47Speaker 4: of people look at him as an afterthought or maybe
- 9:49Speaker 4: thought he was you know, who's that guy? He's just
- 9:52Speaker 4: a camp body, big, physical, strong, may not have top
- 9:58Speaker 4: end speed, but boy he's not as fast as thirty
- 10:02Speaker 4: three or or one.
- 10:03Speaker 1: But uh, not going to stand in front of him,
- 10:05Speaker 1: you know.
- 10:06Speaker 4: But I mean was a koy Was Christian Nakoye a
- 10:08Speaker 4: fast guy? No, but he ran a lot of people
- 10:11Speaker 4: over and was really physical by the way. He was
- 10:14Speaker 4: a mammoth running back.
- 10:15Speaker 1: He was, you're a giant, a giant, you're not going
- 10:19Speaker 1: to keep five.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 10:22Speaker 4: I mean, well you can with practice squad, right, I'm
- 10:27Speaker 4: talking about active roster. Sure, I mean you would expect
- 10:30Speaker 4: four on active roster? Four? Yeah?
- 10:34Speaker 1: Are you surprized at that?
- 10:35Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 10:36Speaker 1: I am a little bit, you were? No.
- 10:38Speaker 4: No, Here, here's the here's the thing I will I
- 10:41Speaker 4: will say, if you have talent at a position, you
- 10:44Speaker 4: keep talent. If you have a position that is maybe
- 10:50Speaker 4: not quite as talented, you don't keep a number just
- 10:53Speaker 4: to keep a number. You keep good players. In my opinion,
- 10:58Speaker 4: So I look, I think that running back rooms got talent,
- 11:01Speaker 4: and I think four is the number there, and five
- 11:05Speaker 4: could be on the practice squad. Interesting pr Productions, the

- 11:21Speaker 4: Jaguars YouTube JP Shadwick with Jeff Logov and it is
- 11:24Speaker 4: our weekly Travis Hunter Update. He could see some time
- 11:29Speaker 4: on both sides in the scrimmage tomorrow night. Liam Cohen
- 11:32Speaker 4: was saying that. In one of his later press availabilities.
- 11:36Speaker 4: Earlier this week, but earlier in training camp, Travis Hunter
- 11:39Speaker 4: met with the media was asked his thoughts on being
- 11:42Speaker 4: a groundbreaker of sorts, playing on both sides and much more.
- 11:46Speaker 5: I mean, I just hope they go out there and
- 11:48Speaker 5: just continue to do what they need to do. I mean,
- 11:51Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say I'm the groundbreaker because there's a
- 11:53Speaker 5: lot of people before me that have done it. I
- 11:54Speaker 5: just did it to a certain extent that nobody else
- 11:56Speaker 5: did it.
- 11:57Speaker 1: What's the hardest part of doing that that people don't.
- 11:59Speaker 5: Know out just the work that you put in and
- 12:02Speaker 5: when they try to criticize, it's like, I'm already doing
- 12:04Speaker 5: all this extra work. You're gonna keep telling me I
- 12:06Speaker 5: can't do the same thing that I've been doing this
- 12:07Speaker 5: showing you. So it's just that a lot of people
- 12:09Speaker 5: just keep down playing us. But I'm gonna just be quiet,
- 12:11Speaker 5: just go to work.
- 12:12Speaker 4: If that doesn't annoy you.
- 12:13Speaker 6: When you'll keep.
- 12:14Speaker 5: Hearing all the doubters at all, no actually make me
- 12:17Speaker 5: smile because they just they don't know what to say,
- 12:19Speaker 5: so they just gonna keep Hey, you.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Yeah, haters gonna hate. That's Travis Hunter.
- 12:22Speaker 4: Of course, Mike Deroko with the questions from ESPN there,
- 12:25Speaker 4: that's nearly a week ago now when Travis Hunter met
- 12:28Speaker 4: the media. So he's been alternating two days on defense,
- 12:32Speaker 4: two days on offense, was back on defense today, was
- 12:36Speaker 4: working with offensive coaches during special teams. That's been the case,
- 12:39Speaker 4: flip bluffing days. Nothing really slows down for Hunter. I
- 12:43Speaker 4: think that the plan's still in play. Let's see what
- 12:45Speaker 4: happens tomorrow night at the scrimmage. I think we're gonna
- 12:48Speaker 4: see him on both sides. And I don't know that
- 12:51Speaker 4: from any information being told me, but I would expect it.
- 12:54Speaker 4: I mean, because you know, if you're gonna get your
- 12:56Speaker 4: team and your players ready for games, try to simulate
- 13:00Speaker 4: what's going to happen in a game. And if he's
- 13:02Speaker 4: going to play broke both ways, then why not do
- 13:04Speaker 4: that in the scrimmage. That's I think that's part of
- 13:07Speaker 4: the the evolution or the development of him into that
- 13:11Speaker 4: role full time. And and Travis is right that you
- 13:14Speaker 4: know it's been done before and that people have played
- 13:16Speaker 4: both sides of the ball, but I mean, nobody's done
- 13:19Speaker 4: it modern in modern day. Well, I mean, Dion did
- 13:21Speaker 4: it a few games here or there, right like Cowboys.
- 13:24Speaker 4: I think he got to go back to some of
- 13:25Speaker 4: the old timers to say that anybody went truly both ways.
- 13:29Speaker 1: On a regular basis.
- 13:30Speaker 4: There have been some spot moments, you know, and a
- 13:33Speaker 4: few players here there, you know, having to fill in
- 13:35Speaker 4: on defensive game or two.
- 13:37Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, this is not not an everyday
- 13:40Speaker 1: basis like this.
- 13:40Speaker 7: No.
- 13:41Speaker 4: The in fact, the Ravens have a guy that's played
- 13:43Speaker 4: both sides of the ball, the full back slash defensive
- 13:46Speaker 4: tackle slash special teamer. I'm trying to remember the card
- 13:50Speaker 4: Patrick Recar.
- 13:51Speaker 1: You know.
- 13:52Speaker 4: So, I mean he he could probably be looked at
- 13:54Speaker 4: as a groundbreaker of some kind. But but I mean,
- 13:57Speaker 4: you know, nobody's done it in a nearly full time
- 14:00Speaker 4: role in the modern era. Travis Hunter to day was
- 14:03Speaker 4: playing defense and had two pass deflections at the end
- 14:06Speaker 4: of practice today. I thought that the first week you
- 14:10Speaker 4: could kind of tell, because you know, look, young players
- 14:12Speaker 4: are all the same, and he's still a young player.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Even though he's incredibly gifted, Heisman Trophy winner and all that,
- 14:19Speaker 4: there's still a process that he's got to go through.
- 14:21Speaker 4: And the first week of camp, you could kind of
- 14:23Speaker 4: tell that he wasn't as sure of himself, you know,
- 14:28Speaker 4: so some of the I guess you could say splash
- 14:33Speaker 4: plays weren't quite there because he was it seemed to
- 14:36Speaker 4: be a little hesitant, unsure maybe another word to describe it.
- 14:40Speaker 4: This week, you can see a different player. You start
- 14:42Speaker 4: to see the athleticism just taking over, the speed taking over,
- 14:48Speaker 4: and that's good to see, and that's part of the progression.
- 14:51Speaker 4: The one thing about Travis Hunter and I did not
- 14:54Speaker 4: know this. Can you tell me this a little trivia
- 14:57Speaker 4: question for you? How fast Travis Hunter run the forty
- 15:01Speaker 4: yard dash time at I don't think anybody timed him ever. Ever,
- 15:08Speaker 4: I don't think he ever run it. Nobody has a time.
- 15:11Speaker 4: I didn't know this. I don't think so because he
- 15:13Speaker 4: never really did a combine. I'm guessing he probably didn't
- 15:16Speaker 4: have to do it going into college or either college
- 15:18Speaker 4: or whatever. Nobody's got a time on him. It's just
- 15:21Speaker 4: as fast as he needs to go, I guess. But yeah,
- 15:24Speaker 4: you watch him and you go as fast as he
- 15:27Speaker 4: needs used to say, I don't really know my top end.
- 15:30Speaker 1: That just goes faster than the last.
- 15:31Speaker 4: It's but it's pretty it's a pretty cool little titbit
- 15:35Speaker 4: of information that there are no forty yard dash times
- 15:38Speaker 4: with Travis Hunter. He's just never been put to a
- 15:42Speaker 4: clock that I know of. And maybe I'm wrong, but
- 15:46Speaker 4: the pro people evaluating Travis Hunter, they don't have a
- 15:51Speaker 4: time on them. But if you watch him play football,
- 15:55Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to time, which.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Is what James Gladstone told us last week.
- 16:00Speaker 4: Every evaluation for him is more about the tame, the tape,
- 16:04Speaker 4: watching the night, the forty time in a straight line
- 16:07Speaker 4: and underd I know, but I mean, it's just it's
- 16:09Speaker 4: just cure. It's interesting to me that you've got a
- 16:11Speaker 4: guy and it was kind of interesting watching a practice
- 16:15Speaker 4: either BTJ or Baseial Toot or somebody, and you watch
- 16:21Speaker 4: him and all of a sudden, he's like closing the
- 16:23Speaker 4: gap on those two guys, and seven and thirty three
- 16:27Speaker 4: can fly. I mean those guys are legit. Four threes right,
- 16:31Speaker 4: four fours right in that range and tooting and twelve.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Is like love that love it.
- 16:38Speaker 4: We'll see what he what he has in mind or
- 16:40Speaker 4: what they have in mind for him tomorrow night at
- 16:42Speaker 4: the scrimmage, and that'll be fun to see certainly to
- 16:45Speaker 4: get the Jags in the stadium as a whole, certainly

- 17:22Speaker 1: This is Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 17:35Speaker 6: That's a lot of opportunity for me getting hoids back
- 17:37Speaker 6: to the ball kind of what I grew up in
- 17:40Speaker 6: a little bit from my first three years Atlanta, where
- 17:42Speaker 6: I felt like more of a playmaker and stuff. I
- 17:44Speaker 6: had some good years there. You know, trust in for
- 17:49Speaker 6: my boys now know what to do so I can
- 17:50Speaker 6: really trust my brakes on the ball. Don't get the
- 17:52Speaker 6: ball even when a running back has the ball, be
- 17:54Speaker 6: able to punch it back because I know where to
- 17:56Speaker 6: help tackle. This is coming from the vice tackled and stuff.
- 17:58Speaker 6: And then when we were running other deep into this
- 18:00Speaker 6: not that OLDP. Carroll type defense. Understanding that my fai,
- 18:06Speaker 6: they know what they're doing where they're running in the
- 18:07Speaker 6: run fits and stuff. Understanding when I can play low
- 18:10Speaker 6: when I have to carry high. It's really cool for me.
- 18:12Speaker 2: I like it.
- 18:14Speaker 4: That is Foyer, a Luikan Jaguars linebacker, earlier this week.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is Jaguars Happy Hour.

- 18:40Speaker 4: Jaguars dot com Slash Training Camp. Let me just kind
- 18:42Speaker 4: of jump in there on the on the schedule. The
- 18:46Speaker 4: imagine a regular season game. You know, team goes out early,
- 18:50Speaker 4: they the specialists go out. Guys are getting loose, guys
- 18:53Speaker 4: are getting ready, They come out in different groups. Essentially
- 18:56Speaker 4: the same thing is going to be happening for the scrimmage.
- 18:58Speaker 4: They're trying to make it as game like as possible,
- 19:01Speaker 4: so there will be players actually on the field, you know,
- 19:05Speaker 4: the specialist at about five thirty, you know, doing their
- 19:08Speaker 4: thing or whatever, and then you'll have returners out there
- 19:12Speaker 4: around six o'clock, so a lot of people are sitting.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Now, Wow, I don't need to be there till seven.
- 19:15Speaker 4: Well, I mean, there's gonna be some guys on the field,
- 19:17Speaker 4: you know at five thirty five forty five. You know,
- 19:20Speaker 4: it's not going to be all the team, but just
- 19:22Speaker 4: be aware of that. And then the actual plays I
- 19:25Speaker 4: think are going to be starting around seven. But they'll
- 19:28Speaker 4: do like a normal pregame warm up right, each position
- 19:30Speaker 4: truck together, so all that's out there, just like a
- 19:32Speaker 4: real game. That's probably what just thirty six, six thirty
- 19:35Speaker 4: somewhere in there. You know, I kind of got a
- 19:37Speaker 4: little none of the schedule here, you know, so you're
- 19:40Speaker 4: talking about six ten, six fifteen, you know, and then
- 19:44Speaker 4: you go off the field at six thirty, and then
- 19:47Speaker 4: you go to locker room just like you would for
- 19:48Speaker 4: a game. I think they'll come back out and go
- 19:50Speaker 4: back in and then you know, you rest for a
- 19:52Speaker 4: little bit and then you come back out and it's
- 19:53Speaker 4: kind of game time, and I think they'll do the
- 19:55Speaker 4: anthem the whole deal, that's right, anthem cool, be cool,
- 19:58Speaker 4: set up.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:59Speaker 4: I love that Foyer Lucan there, love him, love him.
- 20:02Speaker 4: Seems cheaper about this defense and his role in it.
- 20:05Speaker 4: He you know, when we're talking about stamina with Travis
- 20:08Speaker 4: Hunter and his ability to just you know, run forever
- 20:10Speaker 4: and seems like he never gets tired. The one of
- 20:14Speaker 4: I've said this for the last couple of years that
- 20:16Speaker 4: the greatest player that I've ever seen from a stamina
- 20:19Speaker 4: standpoint is Foyer Lucan. Go back to that New Orleans
- 20:22Speaker 4: game a couple of years ago and how many snaps
- 20:24Speaker 4: was like ninety snaps that he played. I mean just
- 20:28Speaker 4: and you look at snap ninety and snap one and
- 20:30Speaker 4: two were the same. It was incredible. But you know,
- 20:33Speaker 4: I talked to Foyer last week and we went back
- 20:37Speaker 4: to last year a little bit, which was a disappointing
- 20:39Speaker 4: year for him, I think for for a lot of reasons. One,
- 20:43Speaker 4: he moved positions which they never should have moved him
- 20:46Speaker 4: and that's me talking there. And he had some injuries
- 20:50Speaker 4: to deal with he had, you know, core injury, had
- 20:52Speaker 4: a wrist injury, I think a foot issue. So all
- 20:55Speaker 4: of those things kind of piled up on top of
- 20:58Speaker 4: a rough season and a defense that wasn't very good.
- 21:01Speaker 4: And now he's back home and a lot of people say, well,
- 21:05Speaker 4: what is home, Well, home is the mike linebacker position,
- 21:08Speaker 4: and that's the position that he is excelled at for
- 21:11Speaker 4: the Jaguars. He's been in a top two or three
- 21:14Speaker 4: leading tackler in the National Football League. And then why
- 21:18Speaker 4: they moved him last year to the will position and
- 21:21Speaker 4: moved Devin Lloyd to the mic position.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I never understood.
- 21:25Speaker 4: You don't take a really good player, a really good
- 21:28Speaker 4: player and change his position. You just don't do that. Well,
- 21:31Speaker 4: that's what they did last year. He's back home now.
- 21:34Speaker 4: He really likes the defense, he really likes the culture
- 21:37Speaker 4: that they're establishing here. So it was great talking with
- 21:42Speaker 4: him and he's in a really good place.
- 21:44Speaker 1: You mentioned that game.
- 21:44Speaker 4: It was two seasons ago, twenty twenty three against the Saints,
- 21:48Speaker 4: and you're right. He played ninety snaps every snap on
- 21:51Speaker 4: defense and six on special teams.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Crazy, how do you do that? That's Travis Hunter. He'll
- 21:58Speaker 1: tell you well.
- 21:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess, and you know I've been telling you
- 22:02Speaker 4: for a while that you know, they they have guys
- 22:05Speaker 4: that were in the Tour de France that got busted
- 22:08Speaker 4: for trying to you know, have this recovery and the
- 22:13Speaker 4: endurance and all of that and triuves hunters.
- 22:16Speaker 1: It's got it naturally, certainly does.
- 22:19Speaker 4: We're on ten to XCEL at ninety two point five FM,
- 22:21Speaker 4: Shaguars Happy Hour JP Shadwick with Jeff Logoman. Staying on defense,
- 22:26Speaker 4: you know when the pads go on, that's when one
- 22:29Speaker 4: on ones began love it, you know, wide receivers and dbs,
- 22:33Speaker 4: linebackers and safeties against running backs and tight ends and
- 22:36Speaker 4: real quick, just let me jump in there, because you know,
- 22:38Speaker 4: when you talk about one on ones, you know the
- 22:40Speaker 4: offensive and defensive lineman is like pass rush, right, Yes,
- 22:43Speaker 4: that's where I was going, okay, But then the linebackers
- 22:46Speaker 4: in the backs, there's kind of one on ones. There's
- 22:49Speaker 4: two different faces to that or or phase it. So
- 22:54Speaker 4: the linebackers and the running backs they have to the
- 22:57Speaker 4: linebackers have to cover the running backs and one on
- 22:59Speaker 4: one as the running back is a receiver right in
- 23:02Speaker 4: the passing game. But then they also do blitz pick
- 23:06Speaker 4: up one all they do, and so the running back
- 23:09Speaker 4: has to block the linebacker as if the linebacker is blitzeing.
- 23:12Speaker 4: So it's a cool drill and one that they get
- 23:16Speaker 4: a lot of reps for the running backs and the
- 23:18Speaker 4: linebackers and it can become extremely physical. Offensive line versus
- 23:23Speaker 4: defensive line one on ones though, are really a big
- 23:26Speaker 4: piece of the show in padded practices in training camp,
- 23:30Speaker 4: and they're doing two different drills at the same time.
- 23:34Speaker 4: A lot of times it's just the whole offensive line
- 23:36Speaker 4: against the whole defensive line one on one, not as
- 23:39Speaker 4: many reps. Now they're splitting them up two different sets
- 23:42Speaker 4: of offensive line versus defense, right, so you're potentially running
- 23:46Speaker 4: the same exact drill in two different places, so everybody
- 23:49Speaker 4: can get a lot of reps.
- 23:51Speaker 1: And I love it.
- 23:52Speaker 4: I've never seen that done before where they split it
- 23:55Speaker 4: up like that. It's it's I think it's exceptional because
- 23:57Speaker 4: a lot of times if you just did one roll
- 24:00Speaker 4: on one field, then you have a lot of guys
- 24:03Speaker 4: that are third teamers or fourth teamers or in some
- 24:06Speaker 4: cases fifth teamers that don't.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Get any reps.
- 24:08Speaker 4: And so by running and separating in the two completely
- 24:12Speaker 4: different sets of groups. Then you get everybody gets a rep,
- 24:16Speaker 4: and uh, it's been good to watch.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Look.
- 24:18Speaker 4: Offensive line is one at times, the defensive line is
- 24:21Speaker 4: one at times, and some of the same old standout
- 24:24Speaker 4: guys still look good. Josh looks good, Trayvon looks good.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Anton's look good at times. Uh uh so uh I
- 24:32Speaker 4: like what I'm seeing out of that drill because I
- 24:34Speaker 4: think it's a highly competitive drill. If you were to
- 24:36Speaker 4: sit there and look at pass rushing in a team setting,
- 24:38Speaker 4: it's more intense and a one on one drill.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Be how's the manual Ogba look good?
- 24:44Speaker 4: I mean look, I like him. Let me let me
- 24:46Speaker 4: just add in Fred Smoot okay, because Smoot's a veteran guy,
- 24:50Speaker 4: just like Duan Smoot.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Yeah you said Fred Smoot. Fred it's the old defensive TV.
- 24:56Speaker 4: But Smoot okay, I like him as well, and he's
- 25:00Speaker 4: he's going to give them the ability to rush inside
- 25:03Speaker 4: an outside. But a veteran guy listed all these names,
- 25:06Speaker 4: all these veteran names, not Eric Armstead. I don't think
- 25:10Speaker 4: he's taking a snap in one on one yet. Really, yeah,
- 25:13Speaker 4: I don't. I haven't seen it. If he's done one,
- 25:17Speaker 4: I don't think he's taken many reps at all. I
- 25:20Speaker 4: know that they said something about you know that they're
- 25:22Speaker 4: working them back. I mean, you know they don't have
- 25:25Speaker 4: to talk about injuries. Is he injured?
- 25:26Speaker 1: I don't on a list that coach Cohen has put
- 25:30Speaker 1: out lately, so.
- 25:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't know the answer to that.
- 25:33Speaker 4: I can tell you this though, I want to see
- 25:36Speaker 4: him out there. You know, when when you're you can't
- 25:41Speaker 4: sit there and look at what you've done in the past.
- 25:43Speaker 4: You've got a new staff, you've got a new culture,
- 25:46Speaker 4: you've got a new team. You need to be part
- 25:49Speaker 4: of that, you know. And I don't know why he's
- 25:52Speaker 4: not doing the one on ones or is there a
- 25:55Speaker 4: medical issue. I don't know. How about some other names. Obviously,
- 26:00Speaker 4: Mason Smith hasn't had much. He's been on pup so
- 26:02Speaker 4: he's out right now, Yeah, practiced. I don't know what's
- 26:05Speaker 4: going on with him. The only thing I could tell
- 26:07Speaker 4: you is that he's wearing a sleeve on a calf
- 26:09Speaker 4: his right leg or I don't know, calf leg looks
- 26:13Speaker 4: like calf. I don't know what's going on with him.
- 26:15Speaker 4: But how about Jordan Jefferson. You remember last year, I
- 26:19Speaker 4: said I thought he was the best pass rusher in camp,
- 26:21Speaker 4: which he was. So I want to see him get back.
- 26:24Speaker 4: But whatever it is, I'm sure they're being smart about it.
- 26:28Speaker 4: Getting back Jordan Jefferson is. It's just been kind of okay,
- 26:32Speaker 4: hasn't really he hasn't wiled me yet. You know, I
- 26:36Speaker 4: liked how strong he was last year. He needs to
- 26:41Speaker 4: do more. How about Devon Hamilton, Josh Tayn down, they
- 26:47Speaker 4: called him the best nose tackle in football?
- 26:49Speaker 1: Are you seeing that yet? I wouldn't go there. I
- 26:53Speaker 1: wouldn't go there.
- 26:54Speaker 4: I think I think he's I think he can be good,
- 26:57Speaker 4: but you know, it's been a number of years since
- 26:59Speaker 4: he's played at the level that you would say that
- 27:02Speaker 4: he's in the conversation as one of the top nose
- 27:06Speaker 4: tackles in football.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Now.
- 27:07Speaker 4: He had a significant, significant injury, okay, which a lot
- 27:13Speaker 4: of people don't know the whole story on that. I mean,
- 27:16Speaker 4: he had a back injury that was a major concern,
- 27:20Speaker 4: and then worked his way back and worked his way back,
- 27:23Speaker 4: and then when he got back for the first time,
- 27:26Speaker 4: it wasn't the same old Devon Hamilton. Even though a
- 27:29Speaker 4: lot of people wanted to say that.
- 27:31Speaker 1: You know he was back.
- 27:32Speaker 4: He wasn't back, not the devon I watched before. So
- 27:35Speaker 4: this year's another opportunity for him to get back on
- 27:38Speaker 4: kind of on that level. And I hope he can
- 27:40Speaker 4: get there because he's a good guy, number one, and
- 27:43Speaker 4: he's a giant human being, and when he's on his game,
- 27:47Speaker 4: he changes the way offenses can do business in the middle.
- 27:50Speaker 4: He's talked about it publicly, the spinal abscess that he had.
- 27:53Speaker 4: It's I mean, a lot of people don't come back
- 27:55Speaker 4: and walk again. And he was very fortunate and that
- 27:59Speaker 4: he had a doctor who was what I would call
- 28:04Speaker 4: hall of famer because this doctor drilled it, he found it.
- 28:10Speaker 4: Whereas a lot of doctors would have went, I don't
- 28:12Speaker 4: know what it is, you know, this doctor went right
- 28:15Speaker 4: there and discovered exactly what it was so they could
- 28:18Speaker 4: do something about wow, which he's very fortunate to have
- 28:21Speaker 4: had that.
- 28:23Speaker 1: From the backyard to the beaches.
- 28:25Speaker 4: The Ford F one point fifty with available pro power
- 28:28Speaker 4: on board gives you the power of a mobile generator.
- 28:31Speaker 4: Ford proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. See your local
- 28:35Speaker 4: Ford dealer today coming up at five o'clock. Well, the
- 28:38Speaker 4: Liam Cohen Show, No head coach today, but we'll have
- 28:41Speaker 4: James Gladstone and Tony Bosellian Studio Live. That's at five o'clock,
- 28:45Speaker 4: about thirty minutes from right now ten to NEXL ninety
- 28:48Speaker 4: two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube.
- 28:51Speaker 1: This is Jaguars Happy.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Hour definitely for the For the first few I've been I've.
- 29:04Speaker 7: Been very pleased with Anton, and you know, we've mentioned
- 29:07Speaker 7: that to him and I asked him, you know, the
- 29:09Speaker 7: other day in the hall, I said, Hey, is this
- 29:11Speaker 7: going to be every day? Is this how it's going
- 29:13Speaker 7: to be every single day? And you know he was
- 29:15Speaker 7: very adamantly yes and so and that's what we have seen.
- 29:19Speaker 7: So for him to take a step in the right
- 29:23Speaker 7: direction in our eyes, for sure, I think is only
- 29:25Speaker 7: going to help us moving forward. Because he's so talented
- 29:28Speaker 7: and when he plays locked in, he plays with great
- 29:31Speaker 7: effort and he strains through the end the echo of
- 29:33Speaker 7: the whistle, good things typically happen.
- 29:35Speaker 4: That's jack said coach Liam Cohen earlier this week when
- 29:38Speaker 4: I asked about Anton Harrison, Jaguars right tackle and welcome
- 29:42Speaker 4: back j P. Shadwick with Jeff Logaman, the Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 29:45Speaker 4: We're at the Hyundai Studios inside the Miller Electric Center,
- 29:48Speaker 4: a hive of activity this week with pads on earlier
- 29:51Speaker 4: this week, scrimmage coming up tomorrow night. We're on ten
- 29:54Speaker 4: to Excel ninety two point five FM. And yeah, we
- 29:58Speaker 4: mentioned the defensive part of one on ones on the
- 30:01Speaker 4: defensive and offensive line. But hey, Anton Harrison now has
- 30:04Speaker 4: been around for a couple of years. Going into season
- 30:07Speaker 4: number three, I think it's fair to say most observers
- 30:11Speaker 4: saw his play last season as inconsistent.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Would that be fair?
- 30:15Speaker 4: I think that's being nice.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Okay.
- 30:18Speaker 4: I thought it was poor. And when I say poor,
- 30:23Speaker 4: because he has a wealth of talent, I mean a
- 30:27Speaker 4: wealth of talent. His first year I thought was a
- 30:29Speaker 4: really good year, really good year, and he had a
- 30:33Speaker 4: really good year when he had a shoulder issue but
- 30:36Speaker 4: played through it the whole year. And then last year
- 30:39Speaker 4: for whatever reason, took a step back. And I'm talking
- 30:41Speaker 4: a big step back, not a little step back or
- 30:43Speaker 4: not staying the same. I'm talking he took a big
- 30:45Speaker 4: step back, didn't finish plays, very lack of days ago.
- 30:51Speaker 4: I thought in his effort, performance wasn't anywhere near where
- 30:55Speaker 4: it should have been. He might have graded out as
- 30:57Speaker 4: the worst offensive lineman for a lot of the games,
- 31:01Speaker 4: and that was extremely disappointing, just because I believe that
- 31:05Speaker 4: Anton Harrison has a again, a ton of talent. His
- 31:10Speaker 4: Ota stuff was less than inspiring, and this year so
- 31:17Speaker 4: far in camp he's been fantastic. I actually had a
- 31:19Speaker 4: conversation with him the other day and I said, Man,
- 31:21Speaker 4: if you've been you've been great, keep it up, keep
- 31:24Speaker 4: doing it, keep doing it, because that's the challenge of
- 31:27Speaker 4: being a pro is doing it. You know, as an individual,
- 31:30Speaker 4: you're going to benefit, the team's gonna benefit, everybody benefits.
- 31:33Speaker 4: And you know what, here's the reality. If you want
- 31:35Speaker 4: to be selfish about it, you're gonna get paid. If
- 31:38Speaker 4: you're good, we're gonna make a lot of money about it.
- 31:41Speaker 6: You know.
- 31:41Speaker 4: So what motivates you, whatever motivates you, find it and
- 31:45Speaker 4: be good. Because he can be really good. I'm talking
- 31:48Speaker 4: he can be really good. I really thought that he
- 31:50Speaker 4: could have been an option to move to left tackle
- 31:53Speaker 4: for this organization at some point, just because that's what
- 31:56Speaker 4: he did in college.
- 31:57Speaker 1: That's the kind of.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Talent he has, and with the talent that he has,
- 32:02Speaker 4: he could be the next best tackle right tackle in football,
- 32:05Speaker 4: next to Lane Johnson and Phillip because I ain't nobody
- 32:07Speaker 4: going to be better than him. He's the best, playing
- 32:10Speaker 4: and simple, he's the best. So I look forward to
- 32:14Speaker 4: seeing him be consistent. That's the challenge with Anton, And
- 32:18Speaker 4: again we haven't played any games yet, right had two
- 32:21Speaker 4: patted practice, Okay, so let's again two. Let's not get
- 32:24Speaker 4: a speeding ticket here. But on the other side, Walker
- 32:27Speaker 4: Little I thought he's been okay. He's uh in past
- 32:32Speaker 4: pro struggled a little bit. He's got to kind of
- 32:34Speaker 4: get cleaned up a little bit there practice though in
- 32:37Speaker 4: the team stuff he's been good. He's got some really
- 32:40Speaker 4: good movement in the run game, which is good to see.
- 32:43Speaker 4: Ezra Cleveland and him are are really doing a good
- 32:46Speaker 4: job on that left side in the run game. Ezra,
- 32:49Speaker 4: I think, is having a really good camp and a
- 32:51Speaker 4: lot of people aren't even talking about him. They aren't,
- 32:54Speaker 4: they are they should be because he's having as good
- 32:56Speaker 4: a camp as any offensive lineman. Haines, he's been the
- 33:00Speaker 4: nice edition and he's been the sexy topic. You know.
- 33:03Speaker 4: The reality is is that Ezra Cleveland has and and
- 33:07Speaker 4: Anton Harrison might be the the two best performing offensive
- 33:11Speaker 4: linemen in camp so far. Okay, but nobody's talking about Ezra.
- 33:16Speaker 4: Everybody's talking about but Anton because he wasn't good last
- 33:19Speaker 4: year and he, I mean, didn't look great in the
- 33:22Speaker 4: off season yet. And let's be honest, tackles of the
- 33:25Speaker 4: offensive line positions, the sexier of the position.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Absolute.
- 33:28Speaker 4: Yeah, you got pass rushers. Nobody loves a guard. I mean,
- 33:32Speaker 4: come on, well will tell you. I love I love
- 33:34Speaker 4: guards too, They're great. But I mean nobody. You know.
- 33:37Speaker 4: I'm an Ezra Cleveland fan, always have been, because I
- 33:39Speaker 4: think he plays a little bit of a little more
- 33:41Speaker 4: than a little bit of He plays with a lot
- 33:43Speaker 4: of edge.
- 33:44Speaker 1: I like it.
- 33:44Speaker 4: He finishes and that's the other thing for Anton that
- 33:48Speaker 4: he needs to learn how to do, which Liam talked
- 33:50Speaker 4: about the echo of the whistle. I don't think he
- 33:52Speaker 4: even He was walking back to the huddle on the
- 33:54Speaker 4: echo of the whistle last year every time, and it
- 33:57Speaker 4: wasn't it wasn't good enough. Ezra Cleveland. I like what
- 34:01Speaker 4: I've seen so far out of him. And look the Milam,
- 34:04Speaker 4: the White Violet, the draft pick out of West Virginia
- 34:07Speaker 4: who is a tackle and they've been working him at
- 34:09Speaker 4: left guard. He's got an uphill battle to get that job.
- 34:12Speaker 4: I can tell you that he's got a long way
- 34:14Speaker 4: to go. And then by the way, he's looked good.
- 34:17Speaker 4: Physical in the run game, physical, extremely physical in the
- 34:22Speaker 4: run game. He's a guy that, uh, you know when
- 34:26Speaker 4: you start talking about and and and I'm gonna go there,
- 34:29Speaker 4: and I probably shouldn't go there, but I'm going to
- 34:31Speaker 4: go there.
- 34:32Speaker 1: You know where we're going.
- 34:33Speaker 4: You remember the term onboarding, onboarding? Yeah, yeah, tell me
- 34:38Speaker 4: what you know about the word onboarding. Well, it's when
- 34:42Speaker 4: somebody is into your organization and you have to get
- 34:45Speaker 4: them acquainted with everything involved, get him up to speed,
- 34:47Speaker 4: develop them all.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Into the computer and the whole thing.
- 34:52Speaker 4: And so from a players standpoint, we heard over the
- 34:56Speaker 4: last couple of years, you know, we need to do
- 34:58Speaker 4: a better job of onboard and getting the young players
- 35:02Speaker 4: up to speed and develop them all that.
- 35:04Speaker 1: You know we heard from the last regime.
- 35:07Speaker 4: But you know what the best way to improve the
- 35:09Speaker 4: onboarding processes is to get a dag on better player
- 35:13Speaker 4: to begin with. Okay, just saying, and some of these
- 35:18Speaker 4: draft picks that we're seeing, Okay, their onboarding process is
- 35:23Speaker 4: going really well. Oh darn maybe it's just let's get
- 35:27Speaker 4: better players. It makes the onboarding process go better, just
- 35:31Speaker 4: saying I think I've been holding that one for a while.
- 35:34Speaker 1: I think you have. Yeah, I'm glad you're letting it
- 35:36Speaker 1: all out. I mean, there's not many left.
- 35:38Speaker 4: I like whyatt Milom Though he is physical, he knows
- 35:43Speaker 4: the echo of the whistle. He knows it well. He
- 35:46Speaker 4: might finish to the echo of the whistle more than anybody.
- 35:50Speaker 4: And not dirty, you know, not enough to make guys
- 35:56Speaker 4: angry on the defensive side of the ball, but echo
- 36:01Speaker 4: the whistle, consistent effort.
- 36:03Speaker 1: And he's got size.
- 36:05Speaker 2: I like him.
- 36:06Speaker 4: You know, one position we haven't really talked about at all, quarterback, No,
- 36:11Speaker 4: not tonight, I mean in general, like in the whole
- 36:13Speaker 4: camp tight end.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't gone there. We haven't gone there on
- 36:18Speaker 1: these shows yet.
- 36:19Speaker 4: Got one of them hurt.
- 36:20Speaker 1: I mean, this is like, there's what seven guys on
- 36:23Speaker 1: the roster. You know which one that I love?
- 36:27Speaker 4: In fact, that's I'm gonna have a jersey made this
- 36:30Speaker 4: year you are with eighty five on it.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Really.
- 36:33Speaker 4: I love Breton Strange, love him, love the way he
- 36:36Speaker 4: plays the game, love the way he works. He's physical,
- 36:40Speaker 4: he is a lot of people would think that Evan
- 36:45Speaker 4: Ingram is better after the catch than Breton Strange. I
- 36:49Speaker 4: would argue that that's not the case at all. I
- 36:51Speaker 4: think Breton Strange is better after the catch than Evan Ingram.
- 36:57Speaker 4: And Evan Ingram's a good football player, good guys, professional
- 37:00Speaker 4: through and through. I wish him the best. Brent Strange
- 37:04Speaker 4: just physical, hard nosed, physical, great with the ball after
- 37:09Speaker 4: the catch. Total team guy, will do all the dirty work.
- 37:15Speaker 1: That guy right there.
- 37:15Speaker 4: You get a bunch of those guys, You're gonna win
- 37:17Speaker 4: a lot of football games. How about all these other dudes, Like,
- 37:19Speaker 4: there's a bunch of veteran guys that they brought in
- 37:22Speaker 4: this offseason. Quinton Morris Hunter Long, fifth year guy. I
- 37:26Speaker 4: Long got a little dinged up the other day.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Johnny Munt, eighth year guy. I mean, where do we
- 37:32Speaker 1: stand on some of these guys?
- 37:33Speaker 4: Well, I think I think, you know, just looking at
- 37:35Speaker 4: practice so far, I thought, long before he got hurt,
- 37:37Speaker 4: I think that him and Brenton are the kind of
- 37:39Speaker 4: the top two and then figure it out as you
- 37:42Speaker 4: go kind of after that. But I thought those two
- 37:44Speaker 4: really stood out to me in practice so far, and
- 37:48Speaker 4: Brenton strange again. I'm I'm a big fan of his.
- 37:50Speaker 4: I told him that, I said, I'm gonna be pulling
- 37:53Speaker 4: for you because and I remember watching his college film
- 37:58Speaker 4: and and I I said this to a couple different
- 38:02Speaker 4: people when training camp rolled around, and they said, well,
- 38:05Speaker 4: they never really could see that, because it's hard to
- 38:07Speaker 4: see it unless you're paying attention, close attention to it.
- 38:10Speaker 4: He's one of the best space blockers that there is
- 38:13Speaker 4: a lot of people say, what a space well when
- 38:16Speaker 4: you're let's say you're in three wives and you're three
- 38:18Speaker 4: wives and you tight end and you got a back
- 38:20Speaker 4: right and you decide to run the ball. Well, the
- 38:23Speaker 4: tight end now has to block people that are in space.
- 38:25Speaker 4: They're not on the line of scrimmage. They're not lined
- 38:27Speaker 4: up head up on them, or a shade or a
- 38:30Speaker 4: stand up linebacker. It could be a safety that's removed,
- 38:34Speaker 4: and so you have to block him in essentially a
- 38:36Speaker 4: ten yard area and try to get your hands on him.
- 38:39Speaker 4: He does that better than any tight end maybe that
- 38:41Speaker 4: I've ever seen ever in college film wise, you know,
- 38:45Speaker 4: and in the pros. You know, there's been some really
- 38:47Speaker 4: good ones, I mean really good ones, but you know,
- 38:50Speaker 4: because the guy in San Francisco. Okay, last time I checked,
- 38:55Speaker 4: he's the best all around tight end of the game.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Kittle. Yeah, Kittle's no joke. He's really good. Love them.
- 39:04Speaker 4: If you had like again, if you have a bunch
- 39:05Speaker 4: of if you had Brenton Strange and George Kittle on
- 39:08Speaker 4: the same team, Oh my god, well they're not. But
- 39:13Speaker 4: if you had two guys like that, Jack's fans won

- 39:31Speaker 4: I was thinking one of them for a deer stand and.
- 39:33Speaker 1: The deer stands. Yeah, you're comfort why not? Or you're
- 39:38Speaker 1: waiting to slay some animals? No, just enjoying the the
- 39:42Speaker 1: view of nature back in the moment.
- 39:45Speaker 4: Wonder if they make a Camo version.
- 39:48Speaker 1: I bet they do.
- 39:49Speaker 4: I don't know. That'd be pretty cool. That would be
- 39:52Speaker 4: interesting for a deer stand, But just to have a
- 39:56Speaker 4: Camo zip chair that would be in your house absolutely
- 40:00Speaker 4: in for report. Final thought is coming up five o'clock.
- 40:03Speaker 4: It is the Liam Cohen Show, but James Gladstone and
- 40:06Speaker 4: Tony Boselli back in studio with us Live at five o'clock.
- 40:09Speaker 1: This is Jaguars Happy Out.
- 40:23Speaker 3: A lot of people that you may not know in
- 40:25Speaker 3: your daily life has had some type of cancer at
- 40:28Speaker 3: a young age or probably getting in now that you
- 40:32Speaker 3: can always be there to support them, care for him,
- 40:33Speaker 3: give them love, because I think that's really the main
- 40:36Speaker 3: focus on people that's going through that they have people
- 40:39Speaker 3: that can help support them and give them love. And
- 40:42Speaker 3: again from my foundation, this is to show support. We're
- 40:45Speaker 3: going to We're contributing to four different organizations throughout the year,
- 40:49Speaker 3: so each month is going to be different, you know something,
- 40:52Speaker 3: you know our organization that we're targeting to help spread
- 40:55Speaker 3: more awareness for them and for us as well. So
- 40:58Speaker 3: I'm excited about that journey. And this first month is
- 41:01Speaker 3: the moors and then we'll start, you know, aging on
- 41:04Speaker 3: and see what goes on.
- 41:06Speaker 4: Josh Heinz Allen earlier this week announced that son Wesley,
- 41:11Speaker 4: who was battling leukemia, has gone into remission. Great news,
- 41:16Speaker 4: great news, and that goes back to the reason why
- 41:20Speaker 4: he had to miss the last game of last season
- 41:23Speaker 4: due to personal reasons. That all was kind of kept
- 41:26Speaker 4: quiet really and then has come out recently and now
- 41:30Speaker 4: that Wesley, his son is healthy, he's come out with
- 41:34Speaker 4: this nonprofit foundation for to One for All, and as
- 41:37Speaker 4: he said, they'll launch a season long campaign called for
- 41:39Speaker 4: to One for Hope. They're going to get back to
- 41:41Speaker 4: four cancer focused nonprofits each month of the NFL regular season,
- 41:45Speaker 4: the Moore's Children's Health in September, the American Cancer Society
- 41:49Speaker 4: in October, Ronald McDonald house, the Charities of Jacksonville in November,
- 41:53Speaker 4: and the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation in December. So, first
- 41:58Speaker 4: of all, he's healthy. Second of all, they're going to
- 42:01Speaker 4: use this to give back in a big way. I
- 42:03Speaker 4: think it's it's great and had a conversation with Josh
- 42:07Speaker 4: about that the other day before practice, and you know
- 42:12Speaker 4: what an incredible offseason and a journey that him and
- 42:16Speaker 4: his family have been through and great news at the end.
- 42:20Speaker 4: So it's got the fairy tale ending, you know, you
- 42:22Speaker 4: hope it continues to go that way. But you know,
- 42:26Speaker 4: when Josh came into this league, he had one of
- 42:28Speaker 4: the greatest mentors anybody could ever have, and that's Kalais Campbell.
- 42:32Speaker 4: And if you ever needed to have evidence of how
- 42:35Speaker 4: important it is to have veteran members of your squad
- 42:40Speaker 4: that can help you establish the culture in the right
- 42:43Speaker 4: way of doing things. Look no further than this example
- 42:46Speaker 4: right here, because Kaleis Campbell raised Josh Allen, and he
- 42:49Speaker 4: raised him the right way. And now Josh is in
- 42:52Speaker 4: turn great human being and then doing the same thing
- 42:55Speaker 4: that Kaleiis did for him for others on the football team.
- 42:59Speaker 4: And it's amazing to watch, and it's fun to watch,
- 43:02Speaker 4: and Josh is a total class act. Josh Allen and
- 43:06Speaker 4: Trayvon are two class act dudes and really good football players.
- 43:11Speaker 4: And this football team is incredibly fortunate to have two
- 43:15Speaker 4: guys of that character on this football team.
- 43:19Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Special, it really is.
- 43:21Speaker 4: We're on tent toin XL ninety two point five FM
- 43:23Speaker 4: Jaguars Happy Hour final few moments here at five o'clock
- 43:26Speaker 4: the Liam Cohen Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. We'll
- 43:30Speaker 4: have the head coach starting in the regular season tonight
- 43:33Speaker 4: once again. James Gladstone and Tony Boselli scheduled to join
- 43:36Speaker 4: us in about seven eight minutes or so from right now,
- 43:40Speaker 4: Time for the injury report presented by uf Health, the
- 43:42Speaker 4: proud healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars with pads going on,
- 43:46Speaker 4: As you would expect, the list gets a little bit longer.
- 43:50Speaker 4: Dennis Gardak is no longer on that list, though, the
- 43:52Speaker 4: linebacker removed from the physically unable to perform list and
- 43:56Speaker 4: practice today. He had an ACL injury last year with
- 43:59Speaker 4: the Cardinals, and I think they're expecting him to be
- 44:02Speaker 4: in the mix to have a starting role or an
- 44:05Speaker 4: impact role on defense.
- 44:06Speaker 1: Well, I've I don't know if he would be a starter.
- 44:08Speaker 4: There's a chance that he could be, but watching him,
- 44:10Speaker 4: you could tell that he's he favors the leg just
- 44:13Speaker 4: a little bit, which I remember when when I came
- 44:16Speaker 4: back from an Aco, and you really never get one
- 44:20Speaker 4: hundred percent until you actually start doing football stuff. So
- 44:24Speaker 4: he's at that stage where now he needs to start
- 44:27Speaker 4: doing football stuff. And I can tell you this, he's
- 44:29Speaker 4: a big dude. I mean he's I don't know what
- 44:31Speaker 4: what do they listen to that hot size wise, But
- 44:34Speaker 4: you know there are some guys that when you look
- 44:36Speaker 4: at him, you.
- 44:36Speaker 1: Know, God, he looked so big. He's listed at six
- 44:39Speaker 1: foot two thirty two.
- 44:40Speaker 4: And six foot two thirty two stout, Now, yeah, I
- 44:43Speaker 4: mean stout and eighth year in the league.
- 44:45Speaker 1: It's not like he's some rookie. Yeah, I think it.
- 44:47Speaker 4: Definitely. He's going to give them grown man a ton
- 44:50Speaker 4: of special teams value. Some others on the list. Mason Smith,
- 44:53Speaker 4: of course, still on pup. Could be a little bit
- 44:56Speaker 4: of time there. Offensive lineman cole Van Landing with a
- 44:59Speaker 4: shoulder injury out for the rest of training camp that
- 45:01Speaker 4: was announced today. Caleb rand Saw the corner out of
- 45:04Speaker 4: Tulane draft pick this year, little lower body injury week
- 45:09Speaker 4: to week for him. Monteric Brown not expected back in
- 45:12Speaker 4: training camp with a lower left leg injury that happened
- 45:15Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago. Lewis rexamined with a lower back,
- 45:18Speaker 4: hasn't practiced lately. Johnnie Munt tied end upper body, same thing.
- 45:21Speaker 4: Patrick McCarey the offensive lineman with a lower back issue,
- 45:25Speaker 4: and Base Sholtoton, as we mentioned earlier, with a hamstring,
- 45:28Speaker 4: the rookie running back out of Virginia Tech. Worked back
- 45:31Speaker 4: in there a little bit today to get back into
- 45:33Speaker 4: some team works. You gotta be careful with hamstrings now,
- 45:36Speaker 4: oh yeah, you don't want to mess with them and
- 45:38Speaker 4: then have that end up being kind of a year
- 45:40Speaker 4: long issue, you know, any kind of a muscle for
- 45:43Speaker 4: that matter. You got to be careful make sure you
- 45:45Speaker 4: get it solved completely. And then the player's got to
- 45:48Speaker 4: be really diligent about staying with the treatment to make
- 45:52Speaker 4: sure that they're not their mindset's not like, oh it's
- 45:55Speaker 4: fine now, I don't need to do anything for it. No,
- 45:57Speaker 4: if you had something in training camp, that's something that
- 46:01Speaker 4: you're probably gonna have to deal with all year from
- 46:03Speaker 4: a treatment standpoint, right because there's very limited downtime from
- 46:09Speaker 4: here on out. I mean there's the bye week before
- 46:11Speaker 4: the regular season and another bye week, and they got
- 46:14Speaker 4: here in the grind and it's here we go. You
- 46:17Speaker 4: know you don't have time, there's no uh well, you know,
- 46:19Speaker 4: I'll just take the next couple of weeks off and
- 46:21Speaker 4: then I'll start training again. No games were about ready
- 46:25Speaker 4: to start here before long. Before you know it, we've
- 46:27Speaker 4: got about four minutes or so until the Liam Cohen showed,
- 46:29Speaker 4: James Gladstone and Tony was Selly coming up. What do
- 46:31Speaker 4: you want to see in the scrimmage tomorrow night? What's
- 46:33Speaker 4: what's an ideal scrimmage other than keeping everybody healthy? Well,
- 46:37Speaker 4: I think the first thing is that I want to
- 46:39Speaker 4: see Trevor Lawrence have some success. You know that some
- 46:42Speaker 4: of the practices have been good, and some of them,
- 46:45Speaker 4: you know, gosh, you wish he had had his feet better,
- 46:47Speaker 4: the ball had been more accurate, or he made a
- 46:49Speaker 4: better read, or he went through his progression better. So again,
- 46:54Speaker 4: you know, as as sexy as watching Trevis Hunter play
- 46:57Speaker 4: maybe offense end defense at the same time, and that
- 47:00Speaker 4: would be great. I'd like to see that. But the
- 47:02Speaker 4: most important thing to me is is I want to
- 47:04Speaker 4: see sixteen elevate his level of play and really raise
- 47:08Speaker 4: the level of his play for this team. And then
- 47:11Speaker 4: also with the level of performance going up at the
- 47:14Speaker 4: quarterback position with Trevor, if he can be better, it's
- 47:18Speaker 4: a lot easier to be a strong leader when your
- 47:20Speaker 4: performance is at a high level. And this team made
- 47:24Speaker 4: me they need they need him to be a leader
- 47:27Speaker 4: and to be a performer. You got to have both
- 47:29Speaker 4: out of that position. It's just just a given.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Got to have it. Let's see a little bit of
- 47:35Speaker 1: that tomorrow night as well. Defensively, what do.
- 47:38Speaker 4: You need to see well, and you know, to go
- 47:42Speaker 4: back a little bit again with Trevor and relate it
- 47:44Speaker 4: to the defense. You know, scrimmage open to the public,
- 47:48Speaker 4: You're going to be really vanilla. Yes, okay, you're not
- 47:51Speaker 4: going to have all these exotic cool plays that are
- 47:56Speaker 4: designed because you know you're going to attack. I'm gonna
- 47:58Speaker 4: attack JP because I I know he's the weak link
- 48:01Speaker 4: at the secondary. You're not going to have any of
- 48:03Speaker 4: those type of offensive game plans. It's going to be
- 48:06Speaker 4: a meet in potatoes event. So having you know the
- 48:11Speaker 4: understanding that it's a meat and potatoes event, you want
- 48:14Speaker 4: to see the fundamentals executed and you want to make
- 48:16Speaker 4: sure that everything goes without any kind of issues getting
- 48:21Speaker 4: to the line of scrimmage, breaking the huddle, no delay
- 48:24Speaker 4: of games, no penalties that are mental error penalties. You
- 48:27Speaker 4: want to clean And this is also a great exercise
- 48:30Speaker 4: for a new coaching staff, no doubt about it. They're
- 48:32Speaker 4: going to work the mechanics just like the players are
- 48:34Speaker 4: working the mechanics of getting used to a regular season
- 48:37Speaker 4: game or a preseason game as well. Yeah, who's upstairs
- 48:40Speaker 4: who's downstairs might not be decided, but maybe you try
- 48:42Speaker 4: some things and then communication on headsets.
- 48:45Speaker 1: And all that will be in play tomorrow night. Yeah,
- 48:48Speaker 1: it's a new staff.
- 48:49Speaker 4: I mean, and look, the NFL officials will be there.
- 48:52Speaker 4: They have a whole crew of NFL officials. I was
- 48:56Speaker 4: talking with Perry Fuel who works with the league office
- 48:58Speaker 4: and the officiating part of it.
- 49:00Speaker 1: Was Saint Jack assistant.
- 49:02Speaker 4: Yeah and in a great guy, great guy, And he
- 49:04Speaker 4: was saying that all new coaches in the NFL get
- 49:08Speaker 4: a lot of attention in training camp with the officials,
- 49:11Speaker 4: so that it helps the coach, but then also it's
- 49:14Speaker 4: a great opportunity for the officials to be around football
- 49:17Speaker 4: as well, because it gets them kind of into the
