- 0:14Speaker 1: by t I A A Bank with Brian Sexton, John Osher,
- 0:18Speaker 1: Ashlyn Sullivan, and J. P. Shadrick. Presented by t I
- 0:23Speaker 1: A A Bank. Starts right now. Welcome into another edition
- 0:27Speaker 1: of the Jaguars Reporters Podcast. Today is Friday July. J P. Shadrick,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan, Brian Sexton, John Osier Training campus here. We
- 0:37Speaker 1: are three days in the camp, going in a day
- 0:40Speaker 1: for on Saturday, and we've got a lot of big
- 0:43Speaker 1: things of course campus here. Trevor Lawrence has looked very
- 0:47Speaker 1: good so far. The defense is having to play off
- 0:50Speaker 1: coverage and not go after the ball. The fans are
- 0:53Speaker 1: back in the building and that sounds and looks outstanding.
- 0:57Speaker 1: How about some initials standouts so far the first few
- 1:00Speaker 1: days of camp, John, what what has stood out so
- 1:03Speaker 1: far to you? The arm? I mean, it's Trevor Lawrence's arm.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I knew it was supposed to be special and it
- 1:11Speaker 1: was supposed to be good, But there's so many throws
- 1:16Speaker 1: that you could take away this week. The touch on
- 1:20Speaker 1: the deep ball is very encouraging. Obviously, his ability to
- 1:24Speaker 1: see it down field, his ability to go after it. Uh.
- 1:27Speaker 1: But frankly, today we're sitting here on Friday, he had
- 1:31Speaker 1: to throw into the left corner of the end zone. That. Yeah,
- 1:35Speaker 1: I'm not sure most quarterbacks would could or should make
- 1:41Speaker 1: most quarterbacks see that third. I forget who caught it.
- 1:47Speaker 1: You know, I would advise most quarterbacks not throw the
- 1:49Speaker 1: ball or throw it away. And it was perfect, perfect
- 1:52Speaker 1: time he threw it, and the speed with which it
- 1:55Speaker 1: got there. That's not the only time we've seen that
- 1:57Speaker 1: this week, but that was the one that stood out
- 2:00Speaker 1: of Okay, well, why is he never went overall picked?
- 2:03Speaker 1: Why is he going to make a difference third and
- 2:06Speaker 1: two on that point? Most quartbates you're kicking a field goal.
- 2:10Speaker 1: You got seven? Um, it's three days in so so
- 2:15Speaker 1: I've had people ask me who is he and I
- 2:17Speaker 1: remind him Peyton Manning won three games as a rookie
- 2:20Speaker 1: right through twenty eight interceptions, but then Ben Roethlisberger won
- 2:24Speaker 1: eleven straight games with the Steelers right and took his
- 2:27Speaker 1: team deep into the playoff to the FC Championship game.
- 2:29Speaker 1: That was a veteran team that he had with him.
- 2:31Speaker 1: But you know, you watched this kid play and you think, well,
- 2:35Speaker 1: he doesn't look like a three win quarterback to me,
- 2:37Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like a guy who's going to
- 2:39Speaker 1: pick this up pretty darn quickly and be competitive. We're
- 2:42Speaker 1: most rookie quarterbacks, as Bill Polian always wanted to say,
- 2:45Speaker 1: is just trying to figure things out. He's gonna be
- 2:47Speaker 1: figuring things out. But I can tell you he's better
- 2:50Speaker 1: physically than Peyton. Peyton was a great mental quarterback and
- 2:54Speaker 1: he was a very very good quarterback physically. I never
- 2:57Speaker 1: saw Peyton make the zip throws. This it makes I
- 3:00Speaker 1: mean now, the the mental ability. You know, we're talking
- 3:06Speaker 1: about maybe a Rushmore quarterback here, so there's all sorts
- 3:08Speaker 1: of strength, but pure arm, talent, pure talent, and this
- 3:13Speaker 1: is out of this world. His touch stands out when
- 3:16Speaker 1: you watch him throw to to gardnerments to Jake Luton too,
- 3:19Speaker 1: to any of the other quarterbacks. It just as a
- 3:22Speaker 1: completely different ball. Well, it's his poison that stands out
- 3:25Speaker 1: to me too. He's back there directing traffic, pre snap,
- 3:29Speaker 1: moving guys in the formations exactly. Now you're out exactly.
- 3:33Speaker 1: And and and I wrote this for our camp servation
- 3:35Speaker 1: today that watching him with those three guys that we
- 3:38Speaker 1: saw in that video that we're with him at Clemson,
- 3:40Speaker 1: I mean, they're making adjustments at the line of scrimmage
- 3:43Speaker 1: and he's putting the ball. It was funny because the
- 3:45Speaker 1: other day d J. Charks said to me that that
- 3:47Speaker 1: he said all of us in the media session. But
- 3:50Speaker 1: it's the the opportunity to get to know what a
- 3:51Speaker 1: guy likes, what a receiver likes, what a quarterback legs.
- 3:54Speaker 1: It sure looks like they understand that now based on
- 3:56Speaker 1: ball placement. It's it's it's really been fun to watch
- 3:59Speaker 1: and we're me three days in. Yeah, that's the That's
- 4:02Speaker 1: the big stand that I think for everybody. And you know,
- 4:05Speaker 1: the other one for me is just seeing some of
- 4:08Speaker 1: the size of players we might have not been able
- 4:11Speaker 1: to see as much of in the offseason program. And
- 4:14Speaker 1: the speed's going to be key as well. Kind of
- 4:15Speaker 1: backed that up real quick because I was thinking the
- 4:17Speaker 1: same thing. And I know I've had this conversation with John,
- 4:20Speaker 1: but in when we're Wembley Stadium, we played the San
- 4:23Speaker 1: Francisco forty niners you will call, Oh, they ran out
- 4:26Speaker 1: onto the football field. I mean, and you saw, holy cow,
- 4:29Speaker 1: look how big and strong they were in And that
- 4:30Speaker 1: was Gus Bradley's first team, John And I mean you're
- 4:32Speaker 1: big guys. Were you know Roy Miller? For goodness, stakes
- 4:35Speaker 1: didn't have any size, You didn't have a lot of
- 4:37Speaker 1: talent um. That's not the case with this team. You
- 4:40Speaker 1: see a big, talented, uh athletic looking team at a
- 4:45Speaker 1: team that can line up and compete. And with a
- 4:48Speaker 1: team that was one in fifteen last year, people around
- 4:51Speaker 1: the league might not expect the Jaggers to be able
- 4:52Speaker 1: to line up and compete. You hope so that. I don't.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I don't know what the defensive line and in defensive
- 4:58Speaker 1: front is going to be yet, because we haven't seen
- 5:01Speaker 1: him do anything. They haven't done anything real yet, and
- 5:03Speaker 1: the ovens of mine had anything real yet. I know
- 5:06Speaker 1: this offense looks quicker than I've ever seen it, I mean,
- 5:11Speaker 1: not ever been in a long time. And I think
- 5:15Speaker 1: that's for a few reasons. Um E t N looks
- 5:18Speaker 1: the part to me, Marvin Jones looks like for an
- 5:22Speaker 1: eleventh your guy, he's still got quickness to get open.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Lavisco looks much quicker he did last year. But I
- 5:29Speaker 1: think a lot of times quickness on offense uh is
- 5:33Speaker 1: about how fast the quarter is making decisions. You can
- 5:36Speaker 1: have all the quickness you want. If the guy's back
- 5:38Speaker 1: there you going, you know, then it's gonna be tough
- 5:42Speaker 1: to look quick. But Trevor seems to get the ball
- 5:46Speaker 1: out very very quickly, and I think that will help
- 5:48Speaker 1: everybody else look quick around everybody like that show up
- 5:54Speaker 1: when you least expected. Do you think that actually happens?
- 5:57Speaker 1: Quarterbacks doing that thinking through it like the snuffle up
- 6:01Speaker 1: again straight. I love it. So I guess what would
- 6:07Speaker 1: be your Ashland? I know, John, you mentioned you're you're
- 6:11Speaker 1: the one that stood out to you. The play at
- 6:13Speaker 1: least that stood out to you was the one on Friday,
- 6:15Speaker 1: the throw in the corner of the end zone. What
- 6:17Speaker 1: about for you, Ashlan? Is there another one that stands
- 6:19Speaker 1: out so far? Maybe not a Trevor Lawrence play, but
- 6:21Speaker 1: just to play a moment in general and camp, I'd
- 6:23Speaker 1: have to say Laviska Chenal as a whole. I think
- 6:26Speaker 1: during press conferences a bunch of times has been asked, Okay,
- 6:28Speaker 1: who stands out. You know, pick a guy who's made
- 6:31Speaker 1: the biggest improvement, and no one really wants to signal
- 6:34Speaker 1: anyone out, But to me, the signal out as Laviska Chanel.
- 6:37Speaker 1: He is obviously bigger, obviously much faster, just looks like
- 6:41Speaker 1: a different player. And yesterday he caught a touchdown from
- 6:43Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and it went one drive with Marvin Jones.
- 6:46Speaker 1: The next drive was Lavisca Channaults. And this this camp
- 6:50Speaker 1: for Lavisca, I think is huge and you see the
- 6:52Speaker 1: improvements that he's made already in this offseason. Think I'll
- 6:56Speaker 1: go to a throw two days ago, uh, from Trevor Lawren.
- 7:00Speaker 1: It's to Marvin Jones on a fade route. Um Jones
- 7:05Speaker 1: ran right around the defense. It was Shaquille Griffin too.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about an undrafted rookie free agent.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I think Jones is going to be that X factor
- 7:14Speaker 1: this year because he understands exactly how he can help
- 7:18Speaker 1: this quarterback. And I think DJ Hark and Chanel for
- 7:21Speaker 1: the reasons that we've talked about, are gonna get a
- 7:22Speaker 1: lot of attention. Jones is just going to have the
- 7:24Speaker 1: ability to take advantage of the hole in the middle
- 7:28Speaker 1: of a defense. Yeah, with another one of James. I
- 7:31Speaker 1: think you're talking about the one that was for a touchdown.
- 7:33Speaker 1: It was, Uh, there was one in a later series
- 7:38Speaker 1: where I happened to be down on the far end
- 7:41Speaker 1: of the field. I was going to get my stuff
- 7:42Speaker 1: because it was it was the last, the last segment
- 7:45Speaker 1: of the day. See you look, and it's a play
- 7:48Speaker 1: that wound up being a long passed Marvin Jones, and
- 7:50Speaker 1: Marvin actually dropped at the very end of it. When
- 7:54Speaker 1: you watched the play from a distance, everything about the
- 7:58Speaker 1: play made it look like it was going to the
- 7:59Speaker 1: left about twenty five yards downfield, and all of a sudden,
- 8:03Speaker 1: the ball comes out of Trevor's hand and you could
- 8:05Speaker 1: tell immediately. Again, I wasn't even there with the play,
- 8:08Speaker 1: but I said, let's Trevor throwing it because it was
- 8:11Speaker 1: and with it looked without shifting very much like he
- 8:16Speaker 1: threw back across the field about six seventy yards on
- 8:19Speaker 1: a dime to Marvin Jones. Um, I hadn't seen that before.
- 8:25Speaker 1: I mean, that's yeah, that's cases where the physical ability
- 8:31Speaker 1: goes beyond what even the defense thought was possible. Marvin
- 8:35Speaker 1: Jones was open on the play and you know, may
- 8:38Speaker 1: have caught it, may not dropped it on on contact
- 8:41Speaker 1: with the ground, but who cares. I mean it was
- 8:45Speaker 1: a play that usually in the NFL players and quarterbacks
- 8:50Speaker 1: don't do things you haven't seen before. I that was
- 8:54Speaker 1: always well that's high praise. Now that's my guy. Um
- 8:59Speaker 1: rachon Jenkins conference, you got a bunch of guys. Well, yeah,
- 9:04Speaker 1: I like both of those guys a lot. This is
- 9:06Speaker 1: my guy now though, Hey, this is my guy. Um.
- 9:10Speaker 1: There were ray Sean Jenkins I think yesterday in his
- 9:12Speaker 1: news conference and you guys were all there. You saw it.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Someone asked about Trevor and he kind of looked at what,
- 9:17Speaker 1: you know, kind of looked down over his glasses, kind
- 9:18Speaker 1: of looking you know, really, I mean, are you kid?
- 9:20Speaker 1: And that's what I did? You see that? And and
- 9:23Speaker 1: to me, I mean, that's the guy who was he
- 9:25Speaker 1: was with justin Herbert last year. He's seen Patrick Mahomes
- 9:28Speaker 1: in the a f C West and and in the
- 9:31Speaker 1: jaw dropping expression that he had and he was wearing
- 9:33Speaker 1: a mask and you could almost see it. Um tells
- 9:37Speaker 1: you everything you need to know about what the veterans
- 9:38Speaker 1: think of this guy. This is the Jaguars Reporters podcast.

- 9:51Speaker 1: Now for didn't you hear This? And Friday, defensive coordinator
- 9:55Speaker 1: Joe Cullen discussed what he expects from defensive end and
- 9:58Speaker 1: linebacker josh On and then right after it, josh Allen
- 10:02Speaker 1: responded to him, I really liked him. Uh, didn't matter
- 10:06Speaker 1: what scheme you were in coming out of Kentucky when
- 10:08Speaker 1: he decided, he decided to stay and had I think
- 10:11Speaker 1: seventeen sacks. He was one of the top guys on
- 10:13Speaker 1: my list and I've seen nothing but I expect greatness
- 10:17Speaker 1: from him being All Pro doing All Pro Bowl. Maybe
- 10:20Speaker 1: it took the Super Bowl being different player of the year.
- 10:22Speaker 1: That's the weak that's you know I'm saying, that's greatness.
- 10:24Speaker 1: That's where you leave a legacy, That's where you leave
- 10:27Speaker 1: your mark, win the organization. Uh, you know what I'm saying.
- 10:30Speaker 1: So that's what That's what my mom sets on, and
- 10:32Speaker 1: that's what everybody mom sets on. So you know, we
- 10:34Speaker 1: keep developing and keep playing and keep practicing like this man.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Like I said, I think the Scott is gonna be
- 10:39Speaker 1: the limit for all of us. And you know, and
- 10:42Speaker 1: told Colin, man, is this my guy? You know what
- 10:44Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm holed in and whatever he saying, I'm
- 10:47Speaker 1: gonna do for him. You know what I'm saying. I
- 10:49Speaker 1: trust the process, and he trust that. I'm gonna make
- 10:50Speaker 1: you know that I'm gonna live out that process for him,
- 10:52Speaker 1: So you know I'm ready for him. You know, we've
- 10:55Speaker 1: been somewhat limited on the defensive talk just because of
- 10:58Speaker 1: the nature of the drills these days. I can't really
- 11:01Speaker 1: go after the ball, no contact, all that stuff. But
- 11:05Speaker 1: to hear from Josh Allen for the first time in
- 11:07Speaker 1: a training camp, in a media session like this and
- 11:11Speaker 1: what that means. He has big things in mind for himself,
- 11:14Speaker 1: for his team, for this defense Ashland, and if he
- 11:18Speaker 1: can stay healthy, I think it could be a breakout
- 11:20Speaker 1: your him. Yeah. I liked when he was talking about
- 11:23Speaker 1: how Joe Colin is known to line up differently and
- 11:25Speaker 1: be creative, and he's like, you have no idea what
- 11:28Speaker 1: this defense is going to throw at offenses, And you
- 11:30Speaker 1: could tell he was just generally excited for the versatility
- 11:34Speaker 1: and all the ways that these guys can line up differently.
- 11:37Speaker 1: You could tell he was almost giddy about it. John, Yeah,
- 11:41Speaker 1: and Uh, I think Joe's quote was aspect greatness from
- 11:45Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Um, out of all the guys in the defense,
- 11:49Speaker 1: I guess Miles Jack would be the first that I
- 11:51Speaker 1: have complete faith that have put in position to succeed,
- 11:56Speaker 1: He's going to be outstanding. UM. I know they're fans
- 12:00Speaker 1: out there who maybe have forgotten Josh Allen, may be
- 12:04Speaker 1: forgotten how good he he's supposed to be, maybe don't
- 12:07Speaker 1: trust it because of what they saw last year. UM.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Probably sort of Trevor and Miles Jack. I have less
- 12:16Speaker 1: confusion or concern about how good Josh Allen can be
- 12:21Speaker 1: in National Football League. And what happens if Caleb and
- 12:23Speaker 1: Chason who Joe Colin talked about in his news conference.
- 12:27Speaker 1: What if he is playing well like he was at
- 12:29Speaker 1: the end of last season and and the word on
- 12:32Speaker 1: him is he gets it, he's playing fast. What if
- 12:35Speaker 1: he's opposite of Alan? I mean that gives Alan a
- 12:38Speaker 1: whole lot more. Remember that tendant to have sacks as
- 12:40Speaker 1: a rookie season because he had you know, unique and
- 12:43Speaker 1: Goquay and Calais Campbell on the other side of the line.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Let's see what he can do. And if you get
- 12:47Speaker 1: the interior guys rolling through and then you get that going,
- 12:50Speaker 1: then it's a full He just looks as it doesn't.
- 12:52Speaker 1: I mean you just look, that's a defense eve Enta
- 12:55Speaker 1: and the option to hodboard as well. There's definitely versatility
- 12:58Speaker 1: there like that that. Tomorrow it's the Hell of Mega
- 13:01Speaker 1: Tour Saturday July at thirty one t I a Bankfield,
- 13:04Speaker 1: Green Day, fallout Boy and Weser plus the interrupters, tickets
- 13:08Speaker 1: a Ticketmaster or Hello megatour dot com. Should be a
- 13:12Speaker 1: big crowd, Ashlyn, you and I'll be there, rock. I
- 13:16Speaker 1: thought that was the Hello Mega Tour. Hello, Hello Mega?
- 13:21Speaker 1: He Hello Mega? Yeah, go ahead. You get something to
- 13:27Speaker 1: say about Green Day, Well, I love Green Dad. I
- 13:30Speaker 1: just can't stand summer heat enough to Yeah. At thirty five,
- 13:35Speaker 1: I've been right there with Slan, just doing the Hello
- 13:37Speaker 1: Mega and the whole thing. Um, I saw a Green
- 13:42Speaker 1: Day at Uh, you've already seen him, so you're good.
- 13:47Speaker 1: You don't need to see him again. Done that? Yeah, Well,
- 13:50Speaker 1: I love see him again, but I'm not going to
- 13:53Speaker 1: have we JP in the intros, people can't see it.
- 13:58Speaker 1: You sort of referenced the hand up thing. Oh yeah,
- 14:01Speaker 1: what I'm saying, they're playing off the hands are up
- 14:03Speaker 1: like like this. I mean, I've been in non contact
- 14:07Speaker 1: practices before. I never have seen him quite like this.
- 14:10Speaker 1: But I've got to think at some point Urban, who
- 14:13Speaker 1: got fined along with the team, had to have gone
- 14:16Speaker 1: over the defensive accent. Man. Do you guys know what
- 14:20Speaker 1: grand is? Yeah, don't do it. Let's let's use it
- 14:25Speaker 1: awful little because i mean, if i'm I get he's
- 14:28Speaker 1: in a different financial stratosphere. But if I'm out there
- 14:31Speaker 1: and every time I see a defensive back sort of
- 14:34Speaker 1: put his hand out that kind of I'm not even
- 14:38Speaker 1: sure I could be out there. No, I'd be very stressed.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I'd be somewhere else his head right now we were
- 14:46Speaker 1: talking about with Marvin Jones earlier. The Jaguars twitter tweeted
- 14:50Speaker 1: it out and you've seen in the background Shaquille Griffin
- 14:52Speaker 1: throws a legit temper tantrum, like stops his feet because
- 14:56Speaker 1: he knows he had the chance to pick it off,
- 14:58Speaker 1: and you see him in the backgrounds just upset. I
- 15:02Speaker 1: like him by the way. That said, in the context
- 15:06Speaker 1: we see it, so we get it. But and there's
- 15:10Speaker 1: been quite a few fans out of the last couple
- 15:12Speaker 1: of days, I think they get it. Um. The fact
- 15:16Speaker 1: that the defense can't use their hands right now doesn't
- 15:21Speaker 1: change how well Trevor's still want the ball. I mean,
- 15:24Speaker 1: there's some pinpoint throws, there's some timing, especially the touch
- 15:28Speaker 1: on the deep ball. Uh. Just because the defenders are
- 15:32Speaker 1: not putting their hands and trying to break it up
- 15:35Speaker 1: doesn't mean they would have been able to get to
- 15:36Speaker 1: those balls. It's still real what we're saying, because the
- 15:39Speaker 1: other quarterbacks aren't making them with as much regularity. So
- 15:43Speaker 1: that kind of tells what's going on. There will be
- 15:46Speaker 1: some difference. People who haven't seen it is in there
- 15:50Speaker 1: going well, John, there's their hands behind their back. How
- 15:53Speaker 1: good is this? It's still different. There was a throw
- 15:56Speaker 1: day one, UH to tim Tebow down the field and
- 15:59Speaker 1: the line backer was fading, you know, not beating, drifting
- 16:02Speaker 1: in his way, and the safety was coming hard and
- 16:06Speaker 1: I thought, I wonder if he'll throw it, and in
- 16:07Speaker 1: that instant he did. And so in those guys they
- 16:11Speaker 1: were not they were not with their hands all over it.
- 16:13Speaker 1: But he put that ball in such a tight window.
- 16:15Speaker 1: That was the first throw up camp where I went, wow,
- 16:18Speaker 1: he sees it, he hes to do and it was
- 16:21Speaker 1: on the seam. And as safety and linebacker, most quarterbacks
- 16:23Speaker 1: don't even do it. They just roll away and throw
- 16:25Speaker 1: it out of bounds. And he just let that thing fly.
- 16:27Speaker 1: It was and Tim caught it. Yeah, there you go.
- 16:31Speaker 1: So we've got one more practice this week Tomorrow Saturday,
- 16:35Speaker 1: and the Green Day concerts Saturday night. Players are off Sunday.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Back at it Monday for the final nonpadded practice and
- 16:41Speaker 1: then pads go on Tuesday. You're running the show. But
- 16:43Speaker 1: can I ask a question? And if anyone else as
- 16:44Speaker 1: the questions? Okay, well there's has two questions. Then, So
- 16:48Speaker 1: who have you seen besides Trevor Lawrence that you're interested in,
- 16:52Speaker 1: that that has your attention? And I'll go first. And yeah,
- 16:57Speaker 1: he's big. Goodness gracious, the safety from Circus is big,
- 17:01Speaker 1: and he is effortless in his motion. Doesn't look like
- 17:03Speaker 1: the leg is is even a consideration. But he's big
- 17:06Speaker 1: and he flows well. You can see him in the
- 17:08Speaker 1: middle of the field. Jack, Where's Han't had a safety
- 17:11Speaker 1: like that in a long time, if ever Yeah, I
- 17:13Speaker 1: was surprised at how big he was because when you
- 17:16Speaker 1: read some of the analysis on him, and again some
- 17:20Speaker 1: of his analysis that you see before the draft, you
- 17:22Speaker 1: don't know what to trust. But some of it was
- 17:24Speaker 1: that great ball in the air guy, reaction guy and
- 17:29Speaker 1: not necessarily the biggest hitter in terms of knocking guys back. Well,
- 17:36Speaker 1: he sure looks like a guy who can play that. Say,
- 17:40Speaker 1: if he's a hitter in addition to what he can
- 17:42Speaker 1: do with the ball in the air, uh, then look out.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Remember he was supposed to be a first round pick
- 17:47Speaker 1: and then he heard his name. He also looks very healthy,
- 17:50Speaker 1: like no hesitations, which I think i'd go with. You
- 17:54Speaker 1: know the running backs, right, I mean we saw them
- 17:57Speaker 1: in the off season. But and you can't really tell
- 17:59Speaker 1: now because of the defensive thing. But if James Robinson
- 18:03Speaker 1: has an extra step this year, That's the one thing
- 18:05Speaker 1: he told me the other day, actually on Tuesday, that
- 18:08Speaker 1: he's been working on is maybe working on the speed.
- 18:11Speaker 1: He's not ever he thinks probably gonna be a home
- 18:13Speaker 1: run hitter. Maybe he thinks that, but E t n
- 18:16Speaker 1: is the home run hitter in the backfield. If he
- 18:18Speaker 1: just has an extra step and can get through that
- 18:21Speaker 1: second line instead of just being a four and a
- 18:23Speaker 1: half yard to carry guy, then maybe that can extend
- 18:26Speaker 1: his game a little bit. James Robinson, I think he's
- 18:30Speaker 1: been looking good and I like the way he looks
- 18:33Speaker 1: so far. And e t Ns got that burst. We
- 18:35Speaker 1: saw a couple of times, John, you and I talked
- 18:36Speaker 1: about that the other night on the show. So I
- 18:38Speaker 1: like those guys running backs, and Carlos Hide doesn't look
- 18:41Speaker 1: as big as he used to. I think he's trimmed
- 18:43Speaker 1: up a little bit. And I liked how Darryl Bevil
- 18:45Speaker 1: offensive Coiner kind of he didn't even need to clear
- 18:47Speaker 1: the air. But we all were there after the draft
- 18:50Speaker 1: when all the Jaguars fans were saying, well, why would
- 18:52Speaker 1: you draft Travis etm when you have James Robinson and
- 18:55Speaker 1: Daryl Bevil was talking about how awesome it is that
- 18:57Speaker 1: there are options and fresh legs and how much that's
- 19:00Speaker 1: gonna benefit the team. When you hear him stay that,
- 19:02Speaker 1: you're like, oh that makes sense. Watch the guy run.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Well you kind of see, you know, not to give
- 19:09Speaker 1: away specifics of the offense, but they're not really playing
- 19:12Speaker 1: the same running back position either. And I think fans
- 19:15Speaker 1: sort of missed that because you see a depth chart
- 19:17Speaker 1: and you know because you're wants to put Travis except
- 19:19Speaker 1: in this spot on the depth chart. But he will
- 19:24Speaker 1: get the ball in space and be used outside as
- 19:30Speaker 1: that dynamic impact home run whatever. That is the Percy
- 19:33Speaker 1: Harvin thing for like a better thing, like a better
- 19:35Speaker 1: way to put it. And he's been the guy outside
- 19:38Speaker 1: of Trevor that to me has stood out. Nothing specific,
- 19:42Speaker 1: nothing necessarily exotic with the way they've shown so far,
- 19:47Speaker 1: but you can definitely see if you throw him the
- 19:49Speaker 1: ball five yards down field, ten yards outside the center
- 19:54Speaker 1: and have him one on one with somebody. Urban likes
- 19:58Speaker 1: the fact that he has a good chance to win
- 20:01Speaker 1: that matchup. Urban said over and over again, that's what football,
- 20:04Speaker 1: offensive football is. Did him right now? Can you get
- 20:07Speaker 1: an offensive guy on a defensive guy and had the
- 20:09Speaker 1: offensive guy win that matchup et And it's like he
- 20:11Speaker 1: can win a lot of matchups. Final thought for today.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Urban Meyer spoke to the fans today act when we
- 20:16Speaker 1: were out there for it, and I think that's the
- 20:18Speaker 1: plan again on Saturday. But I was about ready to
- 20:21Speaker 1: go run through some pads. I think it was pretty
- 20:23Speaker 1: awesome there, but there were some curse words, but we
- 20:25Speaker 1: bleeped him out on Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars Twitter,
- 20:28Speaker 1: so you can go check it out. But yeah, I
- 20:30Speaker 1: thought it was It was a nice touch because today
- 20:32Speaker 1: was the season ticket member practice, and it was cool
- 20:35Speaker 1: that he addressed them specifically about the commitment they're making.
- 20:38Speaker 1: It was that guy can give a speech. Now, well
- 20:42Speaker 1: he can communicate. I mean, you know, he said it
- 20:44Speaker 1: all along. None of us really knew urban at all
- 20:48Speaker 1: coming in his ability to communicate his message, which he's
- 20:52Speaker 1: like coaching is all about, UH is impressive and you
- 20:55Speaker 1: can do that. Fans play It was whatever you're never
- 20:59Speaker 1: unclear or what he's trying to get across, and now
- 21:02Speaker 1: I'll coach. You can do that. That's true. They're back
- 21:05Speaker 1: at it. Tomorrow is the practice time, and we'll have
- 21:10Speaker 1: coverage here on Jaguars dot Com. John Ozan, Bryan Sexton,
- 21:13Speaker 1: Ashlan Sullivan, Joe Fortunato, I'm j P. Shadrick. Will catch
