- 1:13Speaker 3: Loghman Jaguars Analysts joining me now from the Hyundai studios
- 1:17Speaker 3: at the Miller Electric Center. Good afternoon, Logs, Good afternoon, JP.
- 1:23Speaker 3: You doing good, I'm great man. Two weeks of training
- 1:25Speaker 3: campdown well kind of.
- 1:27Speaker 1: What eight practices?
- 1:28Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't say two weeks, but into it
- 1:33Speaker 3: eight practices.
- 1:34Speaker 1: What two of them in pads, right, Tuesday Wednesday? Yeah,
- 1:38Speaker 1: that's right.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Originally I think the plan was was for them to
- 1:42Speaker 3: have pads on Monday. That was kind of the expectation
- 1:45Speaker 3: that it got moved back to Tuesday, and so you
- 1:47Speaker 3: had two padded practices and then today it was back into.
- 1:52Speaker 1: What it's called.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Some people are calling it pass shoulder pads, but they're
- 1:56Speaker 3: not shoulder pads. Are called spider shells, and so when
- 1:59Speaker 3: you're in spider shelves, Just so people know, it's there's
- 2:02Speaker 3: no live contact, Okay, It's just.
- 2:05Speaker 1: All it is.
- 2:06Speaker 3: It's a a device that goes on your shoulders that
- 2:09Speaker 3: literally is like a webbing of pads. It's not doesn't
- 2:12Speaker 3: have any hard plastic to it whatsoever. It's all a
- 2:15Speaker 3: soft material and it's just designed so that if two
- 2:19Speaker 3: people collide, it gives just a little cushion. You're not
- 2:23Speaker 3: doing thud tempo or it's basically the same material that
- 2:26Speaker 3: they make knee pads out of. Okay, but it's in
- 2:29Speaker 3: a spider web arrangement across the tops of the shoulders.
- 2:33Speaker 3: But it is not a contact piece of equipment. So
- 2:38Speaker 3: I men, some people get confused by that. Some people
- 2:40Speaker 3: call them shoulder pads. They're not shoulder pads, Okay, They're
- 2:43Speaker 3: just called spider pads. There's a big difference. No contact, none,
- 2:48Speaker 3: no live contact in spider pads. So you'll get more
- 2:52Speaker 3: of your your real work in your evaluation. A lot
- 2:56Speaker 3: of it will come when they have true shoulder pads.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Correct.
- 3:00Speaker 3: In the last two days, I think we're we're awesome.
- 3:02Speaker 3: I mean, you get to you get to watch, you know,
- 3:05Speaker 3: because everybody looks.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Good when it's in shorts. I mean, you know we
- 3:08Speaker 1: used to call the shorts.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Well no, I wouldn't go that, come on, lot, But
- 3:14Speaker 3: you know you talk about the underwear Olympics in football,
- 3:18Speaker 3: you know, where you have guys at shorts and you're running,
- 3:21Speaker 3: you're doing drills and all that kind of stuff, and
- 3:23Speaker 3: everybody can look really good in that, well almost everybody. Okay,
- 3:27Speaker 3: you and I cannot look good doing that anymore. I
- 3:30Speaker 3: can't do it anymore, not at all, okay, but but
- 3:33Speaker 3: all football players, for the most part, on a ninety
- 3:35Speaker 3: man roster, when when there's no pads, they look, hey, he's.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Got a little something.
- 3:40Speaker 3: I mean, they look like they all belong. But then
- 3:42Speaker 3: when the pads go on, look there's guys that get
- 3:45Speaker 3: weeded out, and guys look like they belong and some
- 3:49Speaker 3: look like they don't belong. And that's just kind of
- 3:51Speaker 3: part of it. And it's you know, you got a
- 3:54Speaker 3: little bit of an evaluation with two days, and then
- 3:57Speaker 3: I think you're gonna get a really good evaluation because
- 3:59Speaker 3: you're you're now starting to enter I don't know if
- 4:03Speaker 3: there really is such a thing anymore with training camp
- 4:06Speaker 3: being modified the way it is with collective bargaining. But
- 4:09Speaker 3: it's the grind, okay, it's the modern day grind of
- 4:14Speaker 3: training camp, which is the window that you get into
- 4:18Speaker 3: well essentially a week out from the first preseason game.
- 4:22Speaker 1: You're going against the same.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Guys, the weather's hot, you're tired, you know, you're tired
- 4:28Speaker 3: going against the same guys day in and day out.
- 4:30Speaker 3: You sometimes get tired of smelling the guys bo next
- 4:34Speaker 3: to you day in and day out, and you're ready
- 4:36Speaker 3: for something different, and that's why I think the tempers
- 4:41Speaker 3: can flare a little bit. So, I mean, I wouldn't
- 4:43Speaker 3: be surprised if you had maybe a push shove altercation
- 4:47Speaker 3: at some point on Saturday or Sunday or Monday. And
- 4:50Speaker 3: when you put three days together in pads, back to
- 4:53Speaker 3: back to back, and at this window, this particular juncture
- 4:57Speaker 3: of training camp, yeah, things can get a little testy.
- 5:00Speaker 3: The Saturday practice inside the stadium. I was told today
- 5:04Speaker 3: there's a huge response for tickets for that and should
- 5:08Speaker 3: be a big crowd, little elevated atmosphere, if you will.
- 5:11Speaker 3: And then back to the practice field for what could
- 5:14Speaker 3: be should be the longest practice so far in training camp.
- 5:17Speaker 3: I think it's on the schedule almost two and a
- 5:19Speaker 3: half hours on Sunday Sunday, yes, okay, and then Monday
- 5:24Speaker 3: of course. So yeah, you're right that the intensity will
- 5:27Speaker 3: continue to ramp up. Its Jaguar's happy. How I brought
- 5:29Speaker 3: to you about the Saint John's River Water Management District,
- 5:31Speaker 3: Florida's water It's worth saving. Just a note on the
- 5:35Speaker 3: in stadium practice and yeah, you know there's some coaches
- 5:39Speaker 3: that like to get away, have no crowds have no
- 5:45Speaker 3: quote unquote distractions. And the smart coaches, and Doug is
- 5:50Speaker 3: one of them, they realize that when you have fans
- 5:53Speaker 3: and attendance, it has a tendency to heighten the awareness,
- 5:57Speaker 3: heighten the intensity because you're performing not just against your teammates,
- 6:03Speaker 3: but you're also performing in front of people. And when
- 6:05Speaker 3: there's more eyes on you JP. I mean that's why
- 6:08Speaker 3: Monday Night and Sunday Night and all those other National
- 6:12Speaker 3: TV games. I mean, guys get pumped because they know
- 6:15Speaker 3: there's more eyeballs on them. And so when you have
- 6:17Speaker 3: a practice that's in front of lots of eyeballs, the
- 6:21Speaker 3: intensity can get raised a little bit. And as a
- 6:24Speaker 3: coach or an evaluator, if you're Trent Balky and his staff,
- 6:27Speaker 3: I mean, that's the kind of environment that you want
- 6:29Speaker 3: to have to evaluate some of the players that you
- 6:32Speaker 3: have on your roster. Where it's a heightened environment. You'll
- 6:34Speaker 3: get that on Saturday in the stadium. You'll get that
- 6:38Speaker 3: against the Detroit Lions next week or excuse me, in
- 6:41Speaker 3: two weeks. And that's a good thing. I mean, those
- 6:44Speaker 3: practices with other teams and there's fans and attendance, but
- 6:48Speaker 3: you know, and again there's more eyeballs that are watching it,
- 6:51Speaker 3: and there's.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Other eyeballs from the other team, you know, and it
- 6:54Speaker 1: makes that intensity go up.
- 6:55Speaker 3: And he realized that, hey, look, you know, some of
- 6:57Speaker 3: these young guys they might be auditioning for a in
- 7:00Speaker 3: Detroit because there may be no room for them here
- 7:02Speaker 3: in Jacksonville. You never know, we'll get some of your
- 7:04Speaker 3: evaluation of the offensive line, defensive line one on one work.
- 7:09Speaker 3: I know you were all over that yesterday, watched it live,
- 7:12Speaker 3: watched it on film. Yeah, I mean, that's that's a
- 7:15Speaker 3: big part of evaluation when they go in the past.
- 7:17Speaker 3: We'll get to that coming up in just a little bit.
- 7:19Speaker 3: I think the biggest story of camp though so far,
- 7:22Speaker 3: has been Calvin Ridley and his impact what he could
- 7:25Speaker 3: bring to this Jaguars offense. The first week of camp,
- 7:29Speaker 3: I mean, I think the fans were just amazed at
- 7:32Speaker 3: what he could do in terms of running routes and
- 7:34Speaker 3: they haven't seen that in a while around here. Yesterday, though,
- 7:38Speaker 3: there was a lot going on. Let's say, Doug Peterson
- 7:42Speaker 3: before practice said he had some toast soreness. Well, then
- 7:46Speaker 3: later he comes out he played practiced the entire practice
- 7:49Speaker 3: because he changed cleats was a cleat issue that was
- 7:51Speaker 3: causing some soreness in the bottom of his foot. He
- 7:54Speaker 3: said he got through practice yesterday, but he also had
- 7:58Speaker 3: at least four drops during team work yesterday, and he
- 8:02Speaker 3: was asked after practice today about being rusty. Here's his response.
- 8:08Speaker 4: No, No, I'm never gonna think I'm gonna be rusty. No,
- 8:13Speaker 4: if I drop a pass, that's not mean I'm rusty.
- 8:16Speaker 1: I just dropped that. I was so wet yesterday I
- 8:18Speaker 1: couldn't keep.
- 8:19Speaker 4: It on my body and a player like me, I'm
- 8:21Speaker 4: never gonna think it's rust you know. I'm sorry, I'm
- 8:23Speaker 4: not gonna I'm not gonna say that.
- 8:26Speaker 1: It's training camp.
- 8:27Speaker 4: What the day is at eight pretty sore today, you
- 8:31Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So, Nah, I'm not rusty. And
- 8:34Speaker 4: yesterday I look at that I did so much good,
- 8:37Speaker 4: and yesterday I did so much good and it was
- 8:40Speaker 4: some bad. You know, there's gonna be some good and bad,
- 8:42Speaker 4: and I look at it as a win. You know,
- 8:44Speaker 4: I'm out here in this training camp, like I said,
- 8:47Speaker 4: I gotta get through this, like that's what I'm doing.
- 8:50Speaker 4: I know how hard training camp is, and this is
- 8:52Speaker 4: probably one of the hardest training camps I've ever been in,
- 8:54Speaker 4: So I know that I gotta continue to work to
- 8:57Speaker 4: get better to be dominant come day game one.
- 9:01Speaker 1: So that's Calvin Ridley.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Any means that because he hasn't been in one in
- 9:05Speaker 3: a while, right, obviously it's been a minute since he's
- 9:07Speaker 3: been in the training camp. It's a big year for him.
- 9:11Speaker 3: How does he battle through a little adversity this week
- 9:14Speaker 3: and move forward?
- 9:15Speaker 1: I think you heard from there.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Let me go back because you said that we haven't
- 9:19Speaker 3: seen that in a while around here about how he
- 9:21Speaker 3: runs routes, I would disagree with that. I think I
- 9:25Speaker 3: think Christian Kirk and Jay Jones are two of outstanding
- 9:29Speaker 3: route runners. I think it's a little bit he's just
- 9:32Speaker 3: a different player. I think it's a better way to
- 9:34Speaker 3: put it. Okay, he's got definitely a level of quickness.
- 9:38Speaker 3: The way he comes in and out of breaks is
- 9:40Speaker 3: a little different. But I mean, look, Christian Kirk comes
- 9:42Speaker 3: in and out of breaks in an incredibly fast fashion.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Jay Jones might be one of the best sell jobs
- 9:47Speaker 3: when it comes to routes on movement with the head
- 9:50Speaker 3: to make to move defensive backs in one way or another,
- 9:54Speaker 3: or safeties to one way or another that there.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Is in a national football league.
- 9:57Speaker 3: So but he is a different athlete because he combined speed, quickness,
- 10:03Speaker 3: and rot running ability all in one. And so he's
- 10:07Speaker 3: kind of a combination of different players. And you know,
- 10:10Speaker 3: we were trying to figure out, I mean, what who
- 10:13Speaker 3: would you compare him to to somebody that's played recently
- 10:17Speaker 3: in the league or something of that nature, and the
- 10:20Speaker 3: name Antonio Brown came up. And Antonio Brown the first
- 10:23Speaker 3: thing people think of when you think of Antonio Brown
- 10:25Speaker 3: as the negative, but think of the positive that Antonio
- 10:29Speaker 3: Brown used to do when he was with Pittsburgh and
- 10:31Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger about same size, got speed, you know, the
- 10:35Speaker 3: catching the balls and everything similar. Now a little different player.
- 10:41Speaker 3: But it's fun to watch Calvin really. And there was
- 10:44Speaker 3: a moment in yesterday's practice to where things got heated
- 10:47Speaker 3: and one on once I'm talking to heat it so
- 10:50Speaker 3: wide receiver corner stuff you're talking about, right, So Calvin
- 10:54Speaker 3: was having issues dropping the ball and then you know
- 10:57Speaker 3: there's flags flying, there's it's competition, right, there's all that
- 11:02Speaker 3: going on. There's a little bit of you know, chirping,
- 11:06Speaker 3: but not that it was get a little elevator, it was,
- 11:09Speaker 3: but it was it was never going over the top,
- 11:12Speaker 3: that's right. It was just intense competition because it started
- 11:16Speaker 3: out Tyson Campbell's line up against against Calvin and look
- 11:20Speaker 3: at this is high level competition. I mean you got
- 11:23Speaker 3: two alpha dogs lining up in front you, in front
- 11:25Speaker 3: of each other, and it's competitive and everybody's watching and
- 11:28Speaker 3: they know it.
- 11:29Speaker 1: And there were some.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Penalty flags that were thrown and then uh then they
- 11:36Speaker 3: had like I want to say, two or three matches,
- 11:39Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, Darius Williams wants to
- 11:41Speaker 3: chirp a little bit and Calvin Ridley says, you get
- 11:43Speaker 3: out there, come on, bring it, and they and they do,
- 11:46Speaker 3: and then Darius Williams goes out there and Darius Williams
- 11:50Speaker 3: gets called for a flag on Calvin Ridley. I mean
- 11:53Speaker 3: this was I mean, this was great stuff. I mean,
- 11:56Speaker 3: this is this is high level competition, and this is
- 11:59Speaker 3: the kind of stuff that makes the elite players what
- 12:03Speaker 3: they are, I mean, highly competitive, and it makes everybody
- 12:07Speaker 3: better and it's fun to watch. I mean when we're
- 12:09Speaker 3: sitting there watching all this go down, I mean, this
- 12:12Speaker 3: was fantastic. I talked to Darius Williams today and the
- 12:14Speaker 3: interview will be on the Official Jaguars podcast network coming
- 12:17Speaker 3: up very soon. Not a guy that goes on the
- 12:20Speaker 3: record a lot. He's not a big media guy, but
- 12:23Speaker 3: when he talks, he has a lot to say. And
- 12:25Speaker 3: he mentioned those receivers and that type of competition helping
- 12:28Speaker 3: the corners get better too.
- 12:30Speaker 1: It goes both ways.
- 12:31Speaker 3: I mean, when you have that type of level of
- 12:33Speaker 3: receiver going at you like that, it helps the entire
- 12:37Speaker 3: team get better. I had a conversation with Zay Jones,
- 12:41Speaker 3: I can't remember if it was yesterday or the day before,
- 12:45Speaker 3: and was just talking to him about the room, you know,
- 12:48Speaker 3: the wide receiver room, and I asked him, I said, look,
- 12:52Speaker 3: is this the best room you've ever been in? And
- 12:55Speaker 3: what I mean by room when I'm using that term,
- 12:58Speaker 3: it doesn't necessarily mean the collection of talent or the
- 13:02Speaker 3: skill set. It means the quality of the people that
- 13:06Speaker 3: are in the room and how they collectively go to work.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Because that's the one thing that was so impressive last year.
- 13:12Speaker 3: You heard me JP, and we were talking about this
- 13:14Speaker 3: many times last year, about how important it was to
- 13:17Speaker 3: have a hard working group of wide receivers for a
- 13:19Speaker 3: young quarterback and Trevor Lawrence and these guys came to
- 13:21Speaker 3: work and practice every day. In Zay Jones and Christian Kirk,
- 13:25Speaker 3: it was awesome to watch. And Evan Ingram I'd put
- 13:27Speaker 3: him in that group as well, and Zay said, yes,
- 13:30Speaker 3: it's the best room that he's ever been in, he said,
- 13:32Speaker 3: and Calvin definitely raises the level of that room up
- 13:35Speaker 3: just because of his abilities. But the thing that's impressive,
- 13:39Speaker 3: I mean, you're talking about some of the hardest working
- 13:44Speaker 3: team first guys that I've ever seen. Now I don't
- 13:48Speaker 3: haven't seen enough of Calvin really, there's no not enough
- 13:51Speaker 3: track record to say that he's into that same mold
- 13:53Speaker 3: as as Zay or Christian because they showed it last
- 13:57Speaker 3: year and so you got to still see a little
- 13:59Speaker 3: bit of that, but you expect it because the way
- 14:01Speaker 3: that he comes to work every day, He's there to
- 14:05Speaker 3: play football and to work hard, and that's that's been
- 14:08Speaker 3: impressive to watch. Had a conversation wide receivers coach Chad
- 14:11Speaker 3: Hall said the same thing, and it's been fun watching
- 14:15Speaker 3: Chadthall and a lot of people know that he's a
- 14:17Speaker 3: new coach on the staff. Came from the Buffalo bills.
- 14:20Speaker 3: He has been nothing short of impressive in my eyes,
- 14:25Speaker 3: how he communicates with these guys, how the guys respond
- 14:29Speaker 3: to him, Because a lot of times you can have
- 14:31Speaker 3: the greatest message in the world as a coach, but
- 14:33Speaker 3: if it's not being heard, it doesn't matter how good
- 14:35Speaker 3: that message is. And Chadthall, you can tell, has a
- 14:39Speaker 3: lot of respect from his group. Jack's fans want customized

- 16:55Speaker 3: of get an idea of what's going on two days
- 16:58Speaker 3: into those one on one what what what is the
- 17:02Speaker 3: I guess the general theme of what stands out on
- 17:04Speaker 3: the defensive side.
- 17:05Speaker 1: First overall, the offense is winning.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Okay, I mean, I mean that's that's if you look
- 17:12Speaker 3: at and you want to paint a big picture of
- 17:13Speaker 3: the offensive line is winning.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Is that normal this time of camp? Or is that no?
- 17:19Speaker 3: I mean usually it's kind of fifty to fifty a
- 17:22Speaker 3: little bit. I mean, but for the most part, this
- 17:24Speaker 3: offensive line is is winning. And that's concerning You want
- 17:29Speaker 3: to have the defensive line unless you're the offensive line, well, yeah,
- 17:33Speaker 3: exactly love it. If you're a Phil Phil Rauscher, you're like,
- 17:35Speaker 3: you know, the offensive line could You're like this is great?
- 17:38Speaker 3: You know, And look, I'm not saying that the offensive
- 17:40Speaker 3: line is winning every one of them, but they're winning
- 17:42Speaker 3: the majority of them. And this is a drill that
- 17:48Speaker 3: it's kind of advantage defense a little bit. You know,
- 17:52Speaker 3: there's no chipping, there's no help from another offensive lineman,
- 17:57Speaker 3: there's no play action that might slow you down as
- 18:00Speaker 3: a pass rusher. You're trying to get to one spot.
- 18:04Speaker 3: You know, it's not like there's a moving quarterback and
- 18:06Speaker 3: there's bootlegs and everything else. So this is kind of
- 18:10Speaker 3: a drill. Much like seven on seven passing drill is
- 18:14Speaker 3: advantage offense. One on one pass rush should be advantage defense.
- 18:18Speaker 3: And the defense is not winning at the rate that
- 18:22Speaker 3: I would expect in this drill. And and that's a
- 18:26Speaker 3: little bit concerning. And the guys that you would expect
- 18:29Speaker 3: to win more than others or at a higher percentage.
- 18:33Speaker 1: You know, your your.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Josh Allen's, your Trayvon Walker, they're not winning more than
- 18:40Speaker 3: anybody else. I mean, So that's something to keep an
- 18:42Speaker 3: eye on it. It's early in camp. It's not time
- 18:45Speaker 3: to panic or anything like that, but it's something that
- 18:48Speaker 3: you're sitting there going, huh, that needs to get better
- 18:52Speaker 3: because if this defense is going to be able to
- 18:54Speaker 3: take steps and get better as a defense to improve
- 18:58Speaker 3: on their what was they twenty five fourth ranking last year.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Somewhere in.
- 19:05Speaker 3: You're going to get better, then you've got to be
- 19:07Speaker 3: able to make improvement. Now, there's some guys that I
- 19:11Speaker 3: think that I'm excited to continue to watch. Look, I'm
- 19:14Speaker 3: excited that Josh Is. I know Josh is going to
- 19:17Speaker 3: get better. I expect Trayvon to to be more physical.
- 19:22Speaker 3: But also at the same time, let's compliment where compliments
- 19:25Speaker 3: are do. Walker Little's looked really good. I mean in there,
- 19:30Speaker 3: really good at left tackle obviously, and yeah, I mean
- 19:33Speaker 3: he's lined up Trayvon Walker. I talked to him today
- 19:35Speaker 3: and line it up against Walker Little and just the
- 19:38Speaker 3: size and the strength and everything that's come with Walker
- 19:41Speaker 3: Little improving over the last year. So especially it's it's
- 19:45Speaker 3: good to see. Yeah, he looks good, his feet are
- 19:49Speaker 3: really good, his hands are patient, he's he's not getting
- 19:53Speaker 3: out of control. Cam Robinson I think has looked strong.
- 19:57Speaker 3: His feet have been good. Josh wells Is, you know
- 20:02Speaker 3: he's he's looked okay, but he looks solid. I mean
- 20:06Speaker 3: that's Josh. I mean you don't expect him to look
- 20:08Speaker 3: as good as Walker lower Cam Robinson because there's a
- 20:12Speaker 3: reason why he's a backup swing tackle.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Solid veteran tackles r.
- 20:15Speaker 3: He've got some time today because Anton Harrison is off
- 20:17Speaker 3: to the side and he's been off thro the.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Side for a little bit.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and that that's a little bit concerning
- 20:23Speaker 3: that Anton Harrison has not been practicing for a little bit.
- 20:27Speaker 3: So that's something to keep an eye on some of
- 20:30Speaker 3: the younger guys, you know, because you always look for
- 20:32Speaker 3: younger guys to maybe have some flashes. The one guy
- 20:34Speaker 3: that I'm I'm liking is Yasir Abdullah. I like his suddenness,
- 20:40Speaker 3: I like his ability with his hands. He's tenacious, he
- 20:44Speaker 3: practices extremely hard. I think this is a guy that
- 20:48Speaker 3: that will be able to give them some quality snaps.
- 20:51Speaker 3: And he's what is he like a fifth round pick
- 20:54Speaker 3: out of Louisville's I think is what he what he was?
- 20:57Speaker 3: You know, he's not the only thing that's kind of
- 21:00Speaker 3: concerning about him is that he doesn't have great length.
- 21:03Speaker 1: He's listed at six one, two forty. That's that's the concern.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Okay, But okay, there's been guys that have been some
- 21:12Speaker 3: pretty good pass rushers that have been in this league
- 21:14Speaker 3: that didn't have that six ' five six six two
- 21:18Speaker 3: hundred and seventy pound range, and they not everybody's Javon
- 21:23Speaker 3: Kurse right well, And but there's guys like Dwight Freeni
- 21:27Speaker 3: and Robert Mathis that we saw firsthand for many years
- 21:31Speaker 3: in the division with the Indianapolis Colts that gave them
- 21:35Speaker 3: some great reps. I mean, could he be somebody like that?
- 21:38Speaker 3: I mean, and those are like lofty, I mean, two
- 21:40Speaker 3: of the best all time when you talk about small
- 21:43Speaker 3: time passes or small bodied pass rushers. But I mean,
- 21:46Speaker 3: and so I'm not trying to say that he's at
- 21:48Speaker 3: that level. I'm just saying that you hope that he
- 21:50Speaker 3: can have somewhat of the effectiveness of those guys because
- 21:55Speaker 3: they're similar body types. But I like his suddenness. Other
- 22:01Speaker 3: than Lacey out of uh Olaomas, Oklahoma State, he's got
- 22:07Speaker 3: some size. I think he's he's a work in progress as.
- 22:10Speaker 1: A pass rusher. He's a defensive tackle.
- 22:13Speaker 3: He's one of those big, stout, strong run stuffing guys,
- 22:17Speaker 3: and he's not like a nose tackle. He's probably more
- 22:20Speaker 3: of like a three technique or a big end. And
- 22:24Speaker 3: I think as a pass rusher, he needs work and
- 22:27Speaker 3: he needs development. So the pass rush has got to
- 22:30Speaker 3: come from Josh and Trayvon and and somebody else. You know,
- 22:35Speaker 3: Big big Roy has got to be a factor. Of
- 22:38Speaker 3: the best inside pass rushing defensive tackle so far in
- 22:41Speaker 3: camp is the same guy that was the best last
- 22:44Speaker 3: year in season, and that's Devon Hamilton. Brandon Sheriff is
- 22:48Speaker 3: having a hell of a time trying to slow him down.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Devon's a big dude, man, big powerful dude, and he
- 22:54Speaker 3: just takes Brandon and just it's it's almost roller skates,
- 22:59Speaker 3: but but uh, he's a big powerful man. This PR

- 23:14Speaker 3: Logoman a Jaguars happy hour. All right, so let's move
- 23:18Speaker 3: continue in the middle of that offensive line you mentioned.
- 23:20Speaker 3: Sheriff at the right guard, Shatley has been getting time
- 23:24Speaker 3: at left guard. He was out of practice today for
- 23:26Speaker 3: minor medical issues with Mark Long tweeted before practice today.
- 23:31Speaker 3: The minor medical issues are always the one that other
- 23:33Speaker 3: people have that's right, and not mind when they're happening
- 23:36Speaker 3: to you. It's funny how that works. Center Luke Fordner
- 23:40Speaker 3: year two for him, you know, the weight room in
- 23:44Speaker 3: the off season was really the big key for him.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Right. I haven't had a chance to chat with him.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I talked with him yesterday. What's he feel like?
- 23:50Speaker 3: Well, my first question is is you know, how what's
- 23:52Speaker 3: your weight at? Because you know, I mean he looks better,
- 23:57Speaker 3: looks maybe just a little bit bigger. And he said,
- 24:00Speaker 3: you know, last year he was three o eight. This
- 24:02Speaker 3: year he's the same weight, three eight. But he said,
- 24:04Speaker 3: obviously he goes he felt better that it's in a
- 24:06Speaker 3: better place. You know, there are three hundred and eight
- 24:08Speaker 3: pounds that are distributed where you want it more.
- 24:11Speaker 2: And uh.
- 24:12Speaker 3: He trained back in Kentucky and he said one of
- 24:14Speaker 3: the things that he really worked hard on besides the
- 24:17Speaker 3: typical you know, let's get big and strong, you know, weightlifting,
- 24:22Speaker 3: I guess you could say, uh, tools which were squat, deadlift,
- 24:28Speaker 3: those type of things. He said he did a lot
- 24:30Speaker 3: of functional weight training where you're doing lunges with weight
- 24:35Speaker 3: and things that where you're you're doing power movements, which
- 24:39Speaker 3: would simulate more football athletic athletic activity, not just standing
- 24:44Speaker 3: there and lifting weight up in but you got in
- 24:46Speaker 3: a football field and you get a three point stance. Okay,
- 24:49Speaker 3: it's not very often you're squat in a defensive lineman. Okay, okay,
- 24:53Speaker 3: you're you're extending and uh, I mean all those things
- 24:58Speaker 3: are you're you're trying to simulate and through different movements.
- 25:02Speaker 3: And Luke said that that was a big part of
- 25:04Speaker 3: his off season training was the functional st strength training.
- 25:08Speaker 3: He said, he feels really strong. And he said, you know,
- 25:11Speaker 3: last year, he said a lot of times there was
- 25:15Speaker 3: certain things that he would do that he goes that
- 25:18Speaker 3: I just didn't feel like I could hold it, and
- 25:19Speaker 3: he goes, this year, I feel like I can hold it.
- 25:21Speaker 3: So I mean, I'm kudos to him because he does
- 25:23Speaker 3: look he looks thinner in the face and more broad
- 25:27Speaker 3: and more defined, and so kudos him because you know,
- 25:31Speaker 3: when you're a young man and you come into this
- 25:33Speaker 3: league and you're sometimes twenty one years old, you're all
- 25:39Speaker 3: of a sudden getting around some guys that are almost
- 25:42Speaker 3: thirty okay, and they've been professional professionally training for years
- 25:47Speaker 3: and it's become their job to work out and become
- 25:50Speaker 3: a professional football player. So where's a guy like Fortner
- 25:55Speaker 3: and a young player. You're still growing into your body,
- 25:57Speaker 3: You're still becoming a man so to speak. I mean
- 26:00Speaker 3: a lot of times you see like the world class
- 26:03Speaker 3: powerlifters that are in this world or in their late twenties,
- 26:07Speaker 3: you know, because the body is still maturing and getting
- 26:10Speaker 3: stronger as you're in your twenties. There's a grown man's
- 26:13Speaker 3: strength is a real thing. Yeah, yeah, it is. And
- 26:15Speaker 3: so you'll see a lot of guys from the rookie
- 26:19Speaker 3: year into about year four to where they make tremendous progress.
- 26:23Speaker 3: And then sometimes when you get about year four, then
- 26:25Speaker 3: you start to have injuries that slow some of that
- 26:28Speaker 3: stuff down and you're just trying to maintain or make
- 26:31Speaker 3: smaller incremental advancements. All right, plenty more coming up Saturday, Sunday,
- 26:36Speaker 3: Monday with everything in the trenches one on ones. We'll
- 26:40Speaker 3: get some more of your analysis coming up next week

- 27:35Speaker 3: We're on tenon Xcel AM ninety two point five FM,
- 27:38Speaker 3: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars Social Media as well. Kai Stevens
- 27:42Speaker 3: joining us now from Jaguars Am, Jaguars Reporter, Jaguars dot Com,
- 27:46Speaker 3: all the Jaguars.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Things on the PM show today as well.
- 27:50Speaker 1: So welcome back, Thank you, Welcome back. Stuck around all
- 27:53Speaker 1: day you had the jags Am today.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Right, I did. I'm I'm trying to become a morning
- 27:58Speaker 2: person for the Jagsam purposes, but I am more of
- 28:00Speaker 2: a night all in general, so I do appreciate an
- 28:02Speaker 2: evening show.
- 28:03Speaker 1: Well, thanks for coming back. We appreciate it.
- 28:05Speaker 3: So all right, by the way, did you guys notice
- 28:08Speaker 3: the pork chop sideburns?
- 28:11Speaker 1: Yeah, Tyson Campbell.
- 28:13Speaker 2: He's getting it. It's a look is it a training
- 28:14Speaker 2: camp book only?
- 28:15Speaker 1: I know I'm digging that. Yeah, it's pretty good. I
- 28:18Speaker 1: mean that's like nineteen seventies, you know. I mean, I'm
- 28:23Speaker 1: digging it.
- 28:24Speaker 3: And when I saw Tyson when he was on his
- 28:26Speaker 3: way to the podium, that was yesterday, right, yep, Yeah,
- 28:29Speaker 3: days run together. Okay, So I'm on the way of
- 28:31Speaker 3: the podium yesterday and I'm like, sweet, sweet, I'm liking
- 28:35Speaker 3: that nice Tyson.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Yeah, he's we were talking about it earlier logs.
- 28:40Speaker 3: The competition that they had so cool yesterday with Calvin
- 28:43Speaker 3: Ridley and that whole thing really kind of stands out
- 28:47Speaker 3: as one of the highlights of the first couple of weeks.
- 28:49Speaker 1: I think you.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Can just see how intensely both of them are being. Obviously,
- 28:53Speaker 2: Calvin's excited to be back on the field, but Tyson's
- 28:55Speaker 2: just like, I think he got beat on the first
- 28:56Speaker 2: one one on one, but Calvin dropped it. But Tyson's
- 28:59Speaker 2: so mad himself, and he like immediately went over. I
- 29:01Speaker 2: think he was talking to Shay and like kind of
- 29:03Speaker 2: figure out what they were going to do, and it's
- 29:05Speaker 2: just so cool to see it every Like, obviously you
- 29:07Speaker 2: want to go as hard as count in every rep,
- 29:08Speaker 2: but to actually feel like they want to beat each
- 29:10Speaker 2: other and you have to imagine that's going to make
- 29:12Speaker 2: them better when it comes to the season when they're
- 29:14Speaker 2: both going against each other in practice.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Want it gets it gets highlighted because it's right in
- 29:17Speaker 3: front of everybody. Okay, all the media is right there.
- 29:20Speaker 3: It's right there to where it's from literally center stage. Yes,
- 29:24Speaker 3: and so that makes the competition even better. And you
- 29:28Speaker 3: bring up to Shay, which is the defensive back to
- 29:30Speaker 3: cornerbacks coach, to say to Shae Townsend, I mean you
- 29:33Speaker 3: talk about even competitive him. I mean he's barking at
- 29:36Speaker 3: the officials that are there to try to help the
- 29:39Speaker 3: football team get better on the field.
- 29:40Speaker 1: He's barking at him because he said, now, you can't
- 29:42Speaker 1: throw a flag on my guy. You got to let
- 29:45Speaker 1: them have the right to space too.
- 29:47Speaker 3: When your guy is holding two fistfuls of jersey, guess
- 29:50Speaker 3: what the flag is gonna come out. I was just
- 29:52Speaker 3: sitting there going, you know to Shae spoken like a
- 29:56Speaker 3: true former cornerback in the National Football League. What are
- 29:59Speaker 3: you doing own that flag? That's not a flag? It's
- 30:02Speaker 3: so funny. Kai Stevens is with us. So you know,
- 30:06Speaker 3: this is this is when it gets real. Starting on Saturday.
- 30:09Speaker 3: It feels like three straight padded practices in the stadium
- 30:13Speaker 3: for one of them, big crowd expected, then back out here.
- 30:16Speaker 3: It's not quite I think I wrote today in the
- 30:18Speaker 3: campservations on Jaguars dot Com it's not quite Junction, Texas
- 30:22Speaker 3: circa nineteen fifty four. But it's as close as these
- 30:24Speaker 3: Jaguars will get.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Guy.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Yeah, as training camp is now the way they do it,
- 30:29Speaker 2: and they don't do two days anymore, Jeff, which I'm
- 30:31Speaker 2: sure you can tell us all about.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I'm jealous.
- 30:34Speaker 2: But they so that what they do now is they
- 30:37Speaker 2: kind of, you know, go back and forth a little bit.
- 30:38Speaker 2: They started pads on Tuesday, right, and I think Doug
- 30:41Speaker 2: was talking a little bit this the other day about
- 30:43Speaker 2: just this little stretch. I think over the weekend it'll
- 30:46Speaker 2: be those like kind of really longer padded, like really
- 30:49Speaker 2: physical practices, which you need to have at some point, right.
- 30:53Speaker 2: I mean, it is football. It's a physical game. So
- 30:55Speaker 2: as much as you want to protect your players and
- 30:57Speaker 2: you know, lengthen either their career or you know, allow
- 31:01Speaker 2: them to be their best when the season comes around
- 31:02Speaker 2: and you still have to figure out, you know, you're
- 31:04Speaker 2: playing football a little bit. So I think in this
- 31:05Speaker 2: little stretch we'll see a lot of what the team
- 31:08Speaker 2: is going to become, I guess in terms of what
- 31:10Speaker 2: their physicality will be, what their identity is going to be.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Because Guy's right, I mean it still football, okay. You
- 31:17Speaker 3: still have to establish tough toughness and discipline and the
- 31:21Speaker 3: physical toughness and the mental toughness. You have to be
- 31:23Speaker 3: able to battle through the heat. And this three day
- 31:26Speaker 3: stretch it will be the grind of training camp, you know,
- 31:29Speaker 3: and it's the grind of the modern day training camp.
- 31:32Speaker 3: And I think that the advance, the advancements and the
- 31:34Speaker 3: changes that they now have with training camps, it's just
- 31:38Speaker 3: so smart. They've got the protective shows what I call
- 31:42Speaker 3: the Kazoo helmets on top of the helmets that helps
- 31:45Speaker 3: protect the players from collisions and prevent concussions. I mean
- 31:49Speaker 3: that's smart. The way that they have one practice a
- 31:53Speaker 3: day and then all walk through the second one, I
- 31:55Speaker 3: mean that's smart. I mean where were all these things
- 31:58Speaker 3: twenty some odd years ago. I mean, I mean there
- 32:02Speaker 3: was a lot of guys in the Union years ago
- 32:03Speaker 3: that were begging to have smart, sensible approaches to training
- 32:09Speaker 3: camp like there is today. But the old school football
- 32:14Speaker 3: guys just weren't willing to let go of that style
- 32:18Speaker 3: of coaching.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Time change.
- 32:21Speaker 2: It's a good thing to see. I mean, they got
- 32:22Speaker 2: the cooling stations too. I was saying when we were
- 32:25Speaker 2: off air, it must be such a difference when you
- 32:27Speaker 2: started in New York and then you come down here
- 32:29Speaker 2: and have training camp. It's just walking outside, it's like difficult.
- 32:32Speaker 2: So I have no idea how they practice currently and
- 32:35Speaker 2: how you did two days.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Yeah, when I came down here, the first thing you
- 32:39Speaker 3: get used to it, I mean you acclimate to your environment.
- 32:42Speaker 3: And so the very first year of this franchise, which
- 32:45Speaker 3: was nineteen ninety five, we actually all got on planes
- 32:50Speaker 3: and went to Stevens Point, Wisconsin to beat the heat.
- 32:54Speaker 3: Well we go to Stevens Point in Wisconsin, and what happens, Well,
- 32:56Speaker 3: it's the hottest summer on record for Steven's.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Point, wisc. Constant. Look at the front page of the
- 33:02Speaker 1: newspapers up there.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Cows dying in fields. Now we're sitting there going what
- 33:07Speaker 3: about us? How about us? No, but it was it
- 33:10Speaker 3: was incredibly demanding. Then the years subsequent years that we
- 33:13Speaker 3: had of all the training camps were here and you
- 33:15Speaker 3: get used to it. But I mean there were guys
- 33:17Speaker 3: that were losing, you know, because we were having full
- 33:19Speaker 3: padded practices twice a day that and they were lasting
- 33:24Speaker 3: three hours, and so your your amount of time recovery
- 33:27Speaker 3: time was very limited. So some guys would lose ten,
- 33:30Speaker 3: lose ten, twelve, fourteen pounds in a practice and would
- 33:34Speaker 3: never get that weight back for the second practice. And
- 33:37Speaker 3: then now you're back farther than you were after the
- 33:40Speaker 3: first practice. Now you're just trying to keep your head
- 33:42Speaker 3: above water to get the weight back on and get
- 33:45Speaker 3: hydrated the for the practice the next day. And that
- 33:48Speaker 3: was a challenge, but you found a way to get
- 33:50Speaker 3: it done. If you're looking for the MVP of the
- 33:52Speaker 3: truck game, then look no further than four to f
- 33:54Speaker 3: one fifty. It's loaded with impressive capability and designed to
- 33:58Speaker 3: dominate workplace and everything in between. This truck makes tough
- 34:03Speaker 3: look easy.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Your local Ford dealer.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars were on Tenson xl
- 34:08Speaker 3: AM ninety two point five f M Jaguars Happy Hour,
- 34:11Speaker 3: j Ap Shadwick, Jeff Loghman, Ky Stevens. What's your favorite
- 34:16Speaker 3: conversation with the Jags player or coach so far this camp?
- 34:19Speaker 2: Guy, I think I enjoy the coaches. I think we
- 34:24Speaker 2: did well. We did a hunt episode with a bunch
- 34:26Speaker 2: of the former coaches that are former players, so it's
- 34:30Speaker 2: almost all of them, almost all of them, and we
- 34:32Speaker 2: brought up to Doug and he's like, oh, I didn't
- 34:34Speaker 2: even realize how many of them were almost our former plays.
- 34:36Speaker 2: But Dashay Townsend, who's cornerbacks defensive backs coach, he's he's great.
- 34:41Speaker 2: I love him. I love Brenson Buckner and all of them,
- 34:43Speaker 2: and just kind of like how they talk about it.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Brentson was really funny because he was talking about when
- 34:47Speaker 2: he uses video to teach them things. He uses his
- 34:50Speaker 2: old like he has. I just imagine it's a VHS.
- 34:52Speaker 2: I imagine it's a VHS tape. I imagine he carries
- 34:55Speaker 2: a VHS tape around and he plays.
- 34:57Speaker 3: He's he actually is smart using his tape because he
- 35:00Speaker 3: he was a really good football player. I mean when
- 35:02Speaker 3: he was in Carolina and they had that defensive line
- 35:04Speaker 3: in Carolina.
- 35:04Speaker 1: They looked really good. Yeah, really good.
- 35:06Speaker 2: And he says as much. He calls himself out though
- 35:07Speaker 2: he's like when I'm telling you, he's like, he shows
- 35:09Speaker 2: them when he messes it up, and then he shows
- 35:11Speaker 2: them how he fixed it. So I think you kind
- 35:13Speaker 2: of get that immediate credibility right when you're like, Okay,
- 35:15Speaker 2: he actually like did exactly what he's talking about, so
- 35:18Speaker 2: I can trust him a little bit more so the
- 35:20Speaker 2: players kind of really, I would imagine really a little
- 35:22Speaker 2: bit easier.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Those are fun. That's a good coaching So that's a
- 35:25Speaker 3: fun coaching staff. Oh no, it's Look, it's a good
- 35:28Speaker 3: coaching staff. And you know, you asked the question who
- 35:31Speaker 3: does Kay like talking to, and you brought up the coaches.
- 35:33Speaker 3: I mean, there's some great coaches and they've got great
- 35:36Speaker 3: perspective because you know, like you said, a lot of
- 35:39Speaker 3: them have played the game and now they're coaching. But
- 35:42Speaker 3: I will say this, this is one of the best
- 35:43Speaker 3: locker rooms that I've ever covered. I mean, like the
- 35:47Speaker 3: quality of the guys that Trent Balke and Doug.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Peterson, there's really no drama that I have seen.
- 35:52Speaker 3: I mean when you talk to guys, I mean, these
- 35:54Speaker 3: guys are smart, they're well spoken, they're thoughtful, and they're
- 36:00Speaker 3: appreciative of the time that they're spending with you. They're
- 36:03Speaker 3: not trying to just ignore you and your media. I
- 36:05Speaker 3: don't have time. I mean, it's that's a credit to
- 36:08Speaker 3: the organization because those are the type of people that
- 36:12Speaker 3: you have to have to win. You can still have
- 36:15Speaker 3: a crazy here or there, okay, but you can't have a.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Whole room full of them. You kind of need a.
- 36:20Speaker 3: Crazy here there, right, so you don't need it crazy
- 36:24Speaker 3: sometimes it makes it exciting, it makes it takes a
- 36:27Speaker 3: little bit of the staleness stuff sometimes out of the
- 36:29Speaker 3: locker room.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can't have a whole room full of them,
- 36:32Speaker 1: that's true.
- 36:33Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of players here at least,
- 36:35Speaker 2: you know, maybe the Wide Receiver Corps as an example,
- 36:37Speaker 2: that played other places and maybe it wasn't great. I
- 36:40Speaker 2: know we've had a couple of tops with Evan Ingram,
- 36:42Speaker 2: and he's just so appreciative of being where he is now.
- 36:45Speaker 2: When you've played other places and you know you played
- 36:47Speaker 2: in New York, it's a whole other beast there, So
- 36:50Speaker 2: you know, Nzy Jones has traveled around and I think
- 36:53Speaker 2: now that they're in a good situation, they appreciate it
- 36:54Speaker 2: even more. And when you have that from your veteran players,
- 36:56Speaker 2: I can't think it trickles down to everyone else too.
- 36:59Speaker 1: So far, so good in training camp for this team.
- 37:02Speaker 1: Off day tomorrow, Kai.
- 37:04Speaker 2: I know what are we going to do with our

- 38:15Speaker 3: Ky Stevens, Jaguars reporter with US Jaguars Happy Hour is
- 38:19Speaker 3: Roger by the Saint John's River Water Management District, Florida's
- 38:22Speaker 3: water It's worth saving.
- 38:24Speaker 1: The injury report coming up in a moment.
- 38:26Speaker 3: Then at five o'clock the Doug Peterson Show, this is
- 38:29Speaker 3: Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 38:39Speaker 1: You gotta see higher ground.
- 38:41Speaker 6: This is a number one seed. This team needs to
- 38:44Speaker 6: be playing, getting to buy and playing with the number
- 38:46Speaker 6: one seed. And I think it's there's possible. The schedule's favorable.
- 38:50Speaker 6: Kansas City in week two is a bonus for you.
- 38:53Speaker 6: Buffalo in London's a bonus for you. You normally wouldn't get
- 38:56Speaker 6: those those are those are games that you have to
- 38:58Speaker 6: find a way to win. And if you find a
- 39:00Speaker 6: way to win those games with the way the rest
- 39:02Speaker 6: of the schedule is, I think you end up with.
- 39:04Speaker 6: Now there's always this though. They learned how to win
- 39:08Speaker 6: last year. They learned how to win close games, they
- 39:10Speaker 6: learned how to win playoff game, and learned how to
- 39:13Speaker 6: win big games. Some of these teams, like everybody's anointing
- 39:16Speaker 6: the Jets already, they haven't learned how to do it yet.
- 39:18Speaker 6: So that's a big advantage for him. But now comes
- 39:21Speaker 6: the tough part is keeping the edge to do that again.
- 39:25Speaker 1: And I think it's sustainable because of the quarterback.
- 39:27Speaker 6: Whenever you have that guy, it's sustainable.
- 39:30Speaker 3: Pete Frisco, CBS Sports Senior writer, joining us on Jaguars
- 39:34Speaker 3: dot Com. The full conversation available on the official team
- 39:37Speaker 3: website and the Official Jaguars podcast network. He was here
- 39:40Speaker 3: for a couple of days. It's really our annual chance
- 39:44Speaker 3: to see Pete in person. He doesn't come around during
- 39:47Speaker 3: the season. Now he knows every now and again he does.
- 39:50Speaker 1: It's very rare. Yeah, it's not very often, but for
- 39:53Speaker 1: a couple of big games.
- 39:54Speaker 3: He'll he'll make sure that he finds his way here
- 39:57Speaker 3: to Jacksonville because Pete, Okay, lived here back in the day,
- 40:02Speaker 3: went all the way back to nineteen ninety five. He
- 40:04Speaker 3: was the beat writer but in Florida Times Union him
- 40:08Speaker 3: John o'sher also was with the Florida Times Union during
- 40:11Speaker 3: that era. So I used to have to talk to
- 40:13Speaker 3: Pete in the locker room.
- 40:15Speaker 1: How was that? It was good?
- 40:17Speaker 3: I mean, Pete was great. I got along with Pete
- 40:19Speaker 3: very well. He was entertaining, he was still is. He
- 40:25Speaker 3: was never shy, he was never intimidated, and as a player,
- 40:31Speaker 3: I respected that. I mean, he had a job to
- 40:32Speaker 3: do and he was not afraid to do it, and
- 40:34Speaker 3: he was not afraid to ask questions that some other
- 40:38Speaker 3: ones might beat around the bush. Pete would just come
- 40:40Speaker 3: out and there it is. Here's the question. And you're like,
- 40:43Speaker 3: all right, I like that, yeah, No, I mean, here's
- 40:47Speaker 3: the amazing thing Pete still does.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Was the early days.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Jeane Furnett was in has been in the locker room
- 40:53Speaker 3: since day one, nineteen ninety five. I mean, so there's
- 40:56Speaker 3: been a couple of guys that have been around a
- 40:58Speaker 3: long time.
- 40:59Speaker 1: Jack war was happy.
- 40:59Speaker 3: I was brought to you by the Saint John's River
- 41:01Speaker 3: Water Management District, Florida's water It's worth saving. Round ninety
- 41:05Speaker 3: two point five FM, tinten XL, Jaguars dot Com, Jacks
- 41:09Speaker 3: Social Media. Time Now for the injury report, presented by
- 41:12Speaker 3: Baptist Helton the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine
- 41:16Speaker 3: provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. A couple of players still
- 41:20Speaker 3: on the active physically unable to perform list. Ben Bartch
- 41:24Speaker 3: one of those. He's been off kind of behind the
- 41:27Speaker 3: offense during teamwork, standing near the coaches, kind of simulating
- 41:31Speaker 3: reps when the offense is on the field. So I
- 41:35Speaker 3: mean it kind of feels like at some point you
- 41:37Speaker 3: could see him maybe make.
- 41:40Speaker 1: A move to get back to practice, I think in
- 41:42Speaker 1: a week or two.
- 41:43Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, he had the knee injury last year,
- 41:46Speaker 3: and a lot of times when you have a guy
- 41:48Speaker 3: that's that is rehabbing coming back from an injury, like
- 41:51Speaker 3: a Ben Bartch, or like a Fred's Smoot.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Okay, that's coming.
- 41:55Speaker 3: Back from Fred Smoot.
- 41:58Speaker 1: Was didn't you go to Mississippi State? Right? Yeah?
- 42:00Speaker 3: Sorry about that. So many names in the in the
- 42:03Speaker 3: brain from back in the day, but smooth. Also, so
- 42:08Speaker 3: with a guy that tat and achilles or a guy
- 42:10Speaker 3: that tad and knee, sometimes you have milestones that you
- 42:15Speaker 3: want to reach. When I say milestones like dates, okay,
- 42:18Speaker 3: for example, I see it's an injury and say, okay,
- 42:20Speaker 3: we don't want to get him back before we get
- 42:22Speaker 3: to the ten month period or an achilles. Let's make
- 42:24Speaker 3: sure we don't get him back until we get to
- 42:26Speaker 3: nine or ten months period as well. So they're they're
- 42:29Speaker 3: kind of holding them back because they want to make
- 42:31Speaker 3: sure that they continue to do some of the functional
- 42:33Speaker 3: football drills without the pressure of having other bodies around them.
- 42:39Speaker 3: And so you could if you watch during practice, Ben
- 42:41Speaker 3: BArch is not doing the drills, but he's doing a
- 42:44Speaker 3: lot of football movements throughout practice, and so that's good.
- 42:48Speaker 1: That's good.
- 42:49Speaker 3: And I think in the next week or two that
- 42:51Speaker 3: they will probably try to get him back out there,
- 42:53Speaker 3: and it will be interesting to see how.
- 42:55Speaker 1: It goes because the reality is.
- 42:57Speaker 3: That when when BArch got hurt last year, so Shatley
- 43:01Speaker 3: stepped in and did a fantastic job. Fantastic job, they
- 43:05Speaker 3: couldn't find anybody else to play better than Shatley for
- 43:07Speaker 3: the remainder of the year. So this year, will BArch
- 43:12Speaker 3: earn that starting job back, will Shatley hold on to it?
- 43:16Speaker 3: And then okay, what happens if Shatley wins it and
- 43:20Speaker 3: then Cam comes back in week three.
- 43:23Speaker 1: It would be week five.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Five, he comes back in five, does one of those
- 43:30Speaker 3: guys Cam or Walker little move into guard and move
- 43:35Speaker 3: one of those guys out. I mean, it's just interesting
- 43:38Speaker 3: to watch. But anyway, back to the injury report, I
- 43:41Speaker 3: think we'll see those guys when they're ready. Doug Peterson
- 43:45Speaker 3: earlier this week mentioned Andre Cisco some hamstring tightness day
- 43:48Speaker 3: to day with him. Roy Robertson Harris had some heat
- 43:52Speaker 3: exhaustion Tuesday.
- 43:55Speaker 1: Today, Colub that's it, that's uh. It works.
- 44:00Speaker 3: When I was brought up with when Kay was in
- 44:02Speaker 3: here about Steven's point being the hottest summer on record,
- 44:07Speaker 3: there was a budget, you know, for training camp and
- 44:11Speaker 3: the Jaguars at that time, and I think John Jones
- 44:14Speaker 3: I think his name was, and he was kind of
- 44:16Speaker 3: so you had different people like that worked with the organization.
- 44:19Speaker 3: Michael Hughes was kind of the general manager, but he
- 44:23Speaker 3: wasn't the general manager. Like from a personnel standpoint, because
- 44:26Speaker 3: that was Tom, But then I think it was John
- 44:29Speaker 3: Jones handled the budget and like the training camp and
- 44:33Speaker 3: all that kind of thing. Well, in the first couple
- 44:36Speaker 3: of days or a week, we blew through or the
- 44:39Speaker 3: team blew through the budget for ice.
- 44:44Speaker 1: Right.
- 44:45Speaker 3: And the way I understand it is that John was like, well,
- 44:49Speaker 3: we can't spend any more money.
- 44:50Speaker 1: We've already spent our money on ice and coffins like
- 44:54Speaker 1: you go find me some ice because of me.
- 44:59Speaker 3: We were we were literally and they had a certain
- 45:02Speaker 3: number of like little tanks that were made for getting
- 45:06Speaker 3: into but there was it was so hot and there
- 45:10Speaker 3: were so many people that were wanting to get in
- 45:13Speaker 3: the ice up. They went out to a hardware store
- 45:16Speaker 3: and they bought rubber made trash cans and literally just
- 45:20Speaker 3: started putting ice bags in them and we would just
- 45:22Speaker 3: stand in them just to get some kind of relief
- 45:26Speaker 3: from three hour full padded practice to a day's in
- 45:29Speaker 3: record heat in Wisconsin. Anton Harrison right shoulder issue off
- 45:34Speaker 3: to the side today doing similar work to what Ben
- 45:37Speaker 3: Bartch is doing football movement things. Saw that today it's
- 45:41Speaker 3: something to watch.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I mean, look, look a shoulder with an offensive lineman,
- 45:47Speaker 1: just because I can speak from personal experience with when
- 45:50Speaker 1: it comes to shoulders, shoulder is one of the most
- 45:55Speaker 1: complicated joints in the body.
- 45:56Speaker 3: And it's not like you can hide it as alignment'
- 46:00Speaker 3: I mean you control you ride the bike every day,
- 46:03Speaker 3: and when when I say ride the bike, you control
- 46:05Speaker 3: defensive lineman and block defensive lineman and everything. It all
- 46:10Speaker 3: comes down to shoulder strength, your your lower body placement
- 46:15Speaker 3: and balance, and then the ability to transfer that lower
- 46:18Speaker 3: body power through the upper body to control a defender.
- 46:23Speaker 3: And that controlling if you have a shoulder end of
- 46:26Speaker 3: your injury, that's hard to do. So that's I'm not
- 46:30Speaker 3: trying to sound alarms. I'm just saying that this is
- 46:33Speaker 3: something that bears watching because you have a first round pick,
- 46:36Speaker 3: rookie tackle that you're expecting to be your opening day
- 46:40Speaker 3: start at right tackle because of the suspension of Cam
- 46:42Speaker 3: Robinson and he's missed a couple of days with the
- 46:45Speaker 3: shoulder injury. I'm just saying, let's just keep an eye
- 46:47Speaker 3: on it. Let's s day off tomorrow and see what
- 46:49Speaker 3: happens if they roll him out there on Saturday in
- 46:52Speaker 3: the stadium, or wait another day and then you know.
- 46:54Speaker 1: We'll see. I don't know we'll see, but something worth watching.
- 46:57Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley, we mentioned him sore foot, he said, not
- 47:01Speaker 3: expected to linger. He changed cleats and got through practice.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Tyler Shatley out today. Doug Peterson Show is coming up

- 47:35Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show coming up. He won't join us live again.
- 47:38Speaker 3: Until regular season, so we're giving him a few weeks away.
- 47:41Speaker 3: We're gonna hear a lot of his sound from his
- 47:43Speaker 3: press conference yesterday and different topics around the team. Of course,
- 47:47Speaker 3: we'll also hear a conversation I had this week with
- 47:50Speaker 3: Travis Etn Junior Jaguars running back Good headspace, good athlete,
- 47:57Speaker 3: thirty year in the league, speedy, he always wants to
- 48:01Speaker 3: take the distance, but is improving between the tackles, and
- 48:04Speaker 3: that's been a focus I think in this offseason is
- 48:08Speaker 3: how to kind of keep it, keep defenses guessing as
- 48:12Speaker 3: to where he's going. Yeah, and it's fun watching that
- 48:16Speaker 3: position group. I mean when we talk about the depth,
- 48:20Speaker 3: you and I talked a little bit about it last
- 48:22Speaker 3: week about the depth at the tackle position, and there's
- 48:24Speaker 3: not many teams in the National Football League that can
- 48:27Speaker 3: withstand a suspension or an injury to one of their
- 48:31Speaker 3: starting tackles, where this team has done a great job.
- 48:33Speaker 3: Credit to the Trent Balky and his staff for getting
- 48:36Speaker 3: some really good tackles. This running backs room, his running
- 48:39Speaker 3: backs room is deep too. Now you're talking about having
- 48:43Speaker 3: etn and and then you got a draft pick who
- 48:48Speaker 3: I think tank is doing a really good job of
- 48:51Speaker 3: minimizing the movements to get north and south. And he's
- 48:54Speaker 3: a big back, so when it gets live, I think
- 48:56Speaker 3: we're going to see even more specialness from him. You
- 49:00Speaker 3: got to Michael Hasty last year who was a really
- 49:02Speaker 3: nice change of pace guy, and Denis Johnson this year
- 49:05Speaker 3: is added.
- 49:06Speaker 1: To the mix. This is a really really good group.
- 49:12Speaker 3: Plenty ahead, The Doug Peterson Show is coming up in
