  Speaker 3: Gentlemen, good afternoon, Hello Jeff, how are you hi on JP? Well?
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Very well, Duff awesome goodness.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I couldn't be better and glad to be back with you,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: two guys.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: You're knocking the rust off a little bit there a
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: few weeks.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, training camps home for a lot of people right now.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: The name of the show second, all right, that that
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: it's good to be back. But I can tell you
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: that for years I used to dread, dread the beginning
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: of training camps. And I mean I'm talking about going
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: all the way back to high school because you just
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: knew that it was gonna be an arduous journey and
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: it was gonna be a lot of pain and suffering
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: along the way. I don't think i'd have that anxiety
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: if I were a player of today, though I really don't.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I agree with you. I think that the way they
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you know, player safety, all the things that they're doing
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: right now to make the life of the player better,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: no question. But I'm with you on as a player
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: years ago, geez or Pete, and never did the clock
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: go slower or did the day go longer than it
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: did during training can.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you know, look, and I'm not one of
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: these players that you know, was like, oh my god,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I can't believe the players got it like today. Yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I'm a believer in that it should have always been
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: that way. Yeah, I remember when when I was in college,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: you know, because you know, we all grew up with
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: two A days. Have you ever heard of three A days?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I sure, I believe the head coaches was I think
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: it was Walt Michael at Shepherd College in West Virginia.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Buddy mine, a couple buddies of mine went there and played.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: They had three of them.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I've been involved in as a player
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and a coach along the way.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: So what time do you do those three.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We would go out in the morning at eight o'clock
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: in the morning, we'd come back out and go at
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: one o'clock in the afternoon. We'd come back go at
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: about seven o'clock at night. And that was when the meeting.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: It was less meeting. There was a lack of a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: lot more practice. And by the way, padded you got,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you got pads on that are still stinking from the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: previous practice. I mean, I I mean, it was unbelievable,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: amazing the fact that we didn't have bacteria issues, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: maybe we did, we didn't know it, but jeez, I mean,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it was unbelievable.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: They literally back in the day, we didn't have I
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: mean now nowadays they have. You put your shoulder pads
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: up in your locker and it has ventilation specifically designed
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: to help you know, air rate, you know, dry your paths.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: We didn't have any you know, okay, we had areas
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that literally were lacking and air conditioning for the most part.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: So when you went to put the pads on the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: second practice, it weighed much heavier than it did in
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the morning or the first day you ever put them on,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: because they were still soaking wet and smell.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no doubt about that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Brutal.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But nowadays, you know, you're not wearing pads until
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the sixth practice, which is extremely smart, and I think
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: it's like five or six padded practices before the first game.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It's smart and they should have been doing it years ago.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think I ever had a training camp, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the old way with two days and pads and hitting
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: that I ever came out of to a days thinking that, boy,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I'm really much better than I was when I went in.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: You always had something that was going to be nagging
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: or bothering and you're like, what are we doing two
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: days for? I mean, the whole idea is to go
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: into the season stronger, you know, and ready to go
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: in training camp. You were deteriorating a little bit. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: so I think what they do today, I think is marvelous.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I think it should have been done for many years,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: and I think it does. I think it does prevent
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of injuries.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt. There's no doubt. And this training staff
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and this strength staff, by the way, awarded properly in
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the off season, are on it. I mean, they've got
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: this thing down. It's not well we hope are we
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: wonder they know what they're doing, and praise the Lord.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: That's why this team is as healthy as they are
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: coming into this camp, so that they're using the research
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: or using the modalities in the right way.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: A lot of these coaches now are announcing, oh, we're
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: not going to tackle to the ground at all during
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: training camp either, just to really protect their guys.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I just don't think you get any benefit in that,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: you know, And and the hard part of times you
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: have to goal line you got to go live. Well, no, no,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: get the right way. No, I mean it's no, you don't.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: You don't have to go live.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I'm with Jeff. We you know, I used to think
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that years ago, and and we've found ways to get
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a heck of a lot done without taking the guys
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: live and taking the guys down or making a live
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: tackle play.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: So I think the hard part about trying to have
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: a live period is that even if you're live in
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: training camp, not everybody's gonna be full go, you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: because I mean, you know, it's it's my teammates and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: we're trying to protect guys a little bit and you're
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: not going low. So then you have you have some
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: guys that are that are literally going live, and then
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: you have some guys that are controlled live and not
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: gain day live. And so when you have kind of
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: players on two different levels that that sometimes can be
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: very dangerous. So I like what they're doing, and coaches
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: are smart now and also I mean you look at look,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: you got a guy all of a sudden he gets hurt.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: You're paying them thirty million dollars a year. That's thirty
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: million dollars a year sitting on the shelf not helping
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: you would all win a football game. And that's tough.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Player of availability and durability really one of the most
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: important abilities.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Who's who had that SoCon probably claim, Yeah, the ability
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: availability supersedes ability. Yeah, there you go.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: It took me one way to get it, so yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: a little off season for you too, huh.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Two Way Street. Yeah, that's right. There's no doubt. It's
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: gonna take me a minute. Yeah. See, use your job.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: You don't want to have.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: To get all these liners red and uh practice the
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: first couple of days.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Here, the ramp up period is real.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: There's helmets and shorts, and then they added I think
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: fifteen to twenty minutes today to the practice and they'll
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: keep doing.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: That tomorrow, which is league mandated.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: That's the CBA agreement. Duff, what stands out the first
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: couple of days? What do you look for on days
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: like that where you know they're gonna get some work in.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: It ain't gonna be O line and D line, there's
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: not gonna be any contact. But what stood out to
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: you the first couple days.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought, first of all, I like the tempo.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I like the execution. I thought they're overall watching both days,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: very little uh penalties, very little plays that looked sloppy.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Really there was some people on the ground the first
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: couple of days. That's gonna happen as people get back
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: into you know, ball and practice in the right way,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: but defense will be Yesterday in particular, I thought, wow,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: they they came out with with energy. He came out
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: with execution. I mean they were sticky now, especially that
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: back in on the passing game, about every ball was contested.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: They got you know, Eric Murray makes a heck of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a pick yesterday that they got two today. I think
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it was Lane had a great one, great break and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Ventro Miller had one. I think it was in seven
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: on seven. But very well done. I mean Ransol yesterday
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: had you know, pushing that safety spot, had a tip pass.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: They were they around the ball, they were hunting the ball.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I really liked that. I like the fact too, they're
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: they're communicating. They're talking with their hands, they're talking with
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: their mouths. So there's this team, uh you know, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: saw them say, well have the practice first day was
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is good first day and good second
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: day practice. This team's moving. I mean there's no it
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: looks like a team that's further in camp than they
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: really are. And so they they've picked up I think
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: from what they did in the spring, which I thought
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: was productive and brought it to this camp. So I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: like a lot of wise.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: See, I really like the energy. I think that's always
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: big first couple of days and that you can see
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: that guys are you're the coaches are are excited about it,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: but they're also kind of having to rain them in
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Hey, look, you know, let's you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: let's protect yourself, protect your guys, you know, because they're
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: excited about it. You know, they're coming back and ready
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: to go. But everybody looks in great shape. And I
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: think that's something that you can have fall to the
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: wayside to some extent because you have that break that
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: lasts essentially a month and players are away from the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: structure of OTAs and the and the Iron Jaguar games
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff. Which, by the way, folks,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: if you haven't seen the latest issue of The Hunt,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: it's absolutely tremendous with the Jaguar, the Iron Jaguar Award
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: at Stake, Jaguar YouTube, totally cool. Here, let me ask
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: you a trivia question. I think this might be the
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: one of the coolest things. This is a little Hunt
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: trivia question for you. Foyer Luken his first pick for
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: his team was who oh gosh, who was it? I
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: don't remember. I think this is interesting. And Duffel, I mean,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: he's a linebacker guy. He takes Branson combsh. So I'm
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: just saying here that, you know, you got a veteran
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: guy and he picks this undrafted rookie from last year. First,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: there's something to that, big time.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Okay. So in college, we did something similar to what
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: you're talking about. He called super teams. It was after
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the old TV show Superstars years ago. People here probably
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: won't even know what I'm talking about, but you we
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: had our seniors like they did here, pick players.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: You were on that show, weren't you he Superstars?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, so years ago.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, my point to you is when players choose players,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you get a real good look at evaluation and what
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: exactly what Jeff says said that reveals a lot about
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: this guy and his opinion of this player, and this
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: guy's commitment to the team and everything else. So I
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: listened and watch that, and I'm pleased to hear you
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: say that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: So is because I mean, that's big. And then here's
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: another one for you. The running back who did the
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: hang last year and won it. Oh U the Quinn. Yeah, Okay,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: I think he was like the first player picked, you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, so get an idea. I mean, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: The coaches, I'm sure coaches in personnel, you know, and
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: all that, and that reveals a lot. Maybe the best
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: thing when your teammates are, you know, picking guys based
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: on winning competitions. Shoot, that's as good as a guest.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I think that. I think that's absolute genius by the
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Strength and Conditioning staff for them to come up with
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: something like that to bond the players together so that
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: they can compete. And it actually there's a crossover effect
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: amongst position groups because you're not gonna pick you know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: if you're a D lineman, you're not gonna pick all
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: D linemen. Yeah, because look, I mean there's you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: D linemen are limited on some of the events, right, Yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: And so what it does is it creates that when
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I say, the crossroom pollination of friendship and camaraderie that built,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: and I think it's it's awesome and it's also it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: competitive as hell and it's fun to watch. Hey, guess what, guys,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: We've got a new segment on the show. How about this?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: We do get ready for this Okay, it's the QB
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Preview presented by Sea Breeze Propane Slow Mascot Fast Delivery,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: and we'll take a look at Trevor Lawrence's numbers. We
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: have to review before we preview.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: I suppose the numbers from last season just over four
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: thousand yards through the air, I was pushing forty touchdowns,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: had a rating just over ninety, was fifth in the MVP.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Voting at the end of the year. What are you
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: like from Trevor the first couple days of practice. Uh, well,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I think there comes some of his throws he's anticipating
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: pretty well. You know, it's your two in the offense.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to be a tremendous advantage for him,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: give him a leg up to really dive into some
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: of the finer details of the offense. In today's practice,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: there was a play that he had where he hit
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: BTJ on that kind of flag round cool. I mean,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: just a beautiful ball, great anticipation, excellent route. It's great
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: to see those two guys kind of you can see
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: they're starting to build some chemistry there. But you know,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: there's also the first couple of days things that you notice,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: like some of the verbiage coming in and out of
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: the huddle. There's some sometimes a little hesitancy and calling
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the play. But look, folks, if you ever happened to
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: see some of the miked up segments and listen to
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: some of the play calls that the quarterback has to
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: repeat in a huddle, I mean, it's pretty lengthy. So
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: that will, I think, continue to get better as practices evolved.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: But I can't wait to watch him this year. And
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I really hope that he doesn't necessarily have to pick
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: up right where he left off because he was at
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: an elite level last year, but you want him to
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: pick got at that high level where he was at
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in the second half of the season. About it, def
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: initial thoughts on sixteen.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like it. I like what I saw in
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the spring, and I like what I've seen out here.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: He just appears way more confident. He's demonstrating consistency, which
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: is we want to see out every player, especially at
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that spot, and so I'm not even you know, I'm
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: watching more other people now and where they're watching him.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: That's how much confidence I've gotten the guy and what
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I've seen. I mean, when you look at the final
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: six regular season games, He's fifteen touchdowns one interception. Are you,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: like Jeff said, hotter than a firecracker? I mean, unbelievable.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think that the fact that I
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: mean this guy had in his he had nine go
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: ahead touchdowns last season and in making plays, I mean
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: making plays when we need it the most. So I
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: see this guy, you know, ascending as he's worked ethic
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: he's put in and getting better and better.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: One of the things that you notice out there in
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: today's practice is that last year he was really almost
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: had the blinders on himself. You know me, my job,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: what I have to do. First practice that I saw
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: this year was today, and you watch him and there's
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: breaking the huddle, communicating with all of his guys, okay,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: because he knows what he's got, so he's helping them,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: you know. And so when a quarterback gets to the
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: point where they're owning it like this, and it's still
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: early in camp, but I mean, now he's been immersed
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: in it for a period of time where he's you
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: can tell he's comfortable. That's where you expect to see
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: a big jump in year two because now he'll be
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: able to instead of you know, a one oh one
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: college level class. Now he's going to two oh one
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: and ready to go to three oh one and beyond
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: because he's got the familiarity and the other thing. I
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: think that's pretty unique because you know, you guys know
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: him a people watcher. The dynamic between head coach and quarterback.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, yeah, I'm not saying they're buddy buddy,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: but I mean that you can tell that the communication
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: between the two of those guys watching them in practice
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: today is really strong. I didn't know you were a
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: people watcher. I mean, what else are you gonna do
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: out there? Practice? Was watched plays all day. I mean
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: you gotta I like watching a lot of stuff that
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: happens between I think you learn a lot for more
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: between the plays than you do sometimes during a play.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Think about early last season, those two had different personalities,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence. We saw it, remember that
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: field in Cincinnati having the chest and waved him off.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: But I think that that grew into trust us and went.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: We saw the midpoint of the season and they had
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: they turned it around from there. Hey we've got plenty ahead, guys.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: We're gonna come back though, because Travis Hunter is on
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: the field. Oh yes, there's plenty to see. Oh yeah,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: with number twelve, we'll dig into it on both sides
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: of the foot ball. PRI Production is the official event

  Speaker 3: This is Jaguars Happy Hour.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Really looking at the repre where he needs to be,
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: now right, how do we balance his reps here? Knowing
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: that we're trying to ease him in, but he also
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: at some point needs to get double the amount that
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: a normal player gets, And so what does that ramp
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: up look like? And we've had we have it all
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: kind of mapped out till the mock game is really
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: where we have it. I mean on every single practice schedule.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's his reps are highlighted and here I
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: mean like where he's in, what plays he's in, where
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: he's at on the field. I mean we've been extremely
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: intentional about it.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Sam, you knowing Jaguars head coach on Travis Hunter, two
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: way player for the Jags, Welcome back.

  Speaker 3: years old today. Yeah, okay, so fifty five is fifty six.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Happy birthday Tommy Mack.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Did I's see him on social media a few weeks ago,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: like singing in a band or.

  Speaker 2: Something that's uh, he's there. Yeah, they're hot now yep.

• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Vic Ketchman. Oh wow, who is one of the greatest
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: great guys of all time. And happy birthday Vic. He's
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: retired up in South Carolina. I believe he's a golfer.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: He's probably out there right now putting them in. So yep,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: doing good.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Let's hope Travis Hunter doesn't play golf for a while.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: He's busy playing football again this better offseason. He's been
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: off with a knee issue off to the side of
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: the off season program. They put the social media video
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: out the other day of him running twenty two point eight.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Miles per hour in a sprints. No, it was like
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: twenty six on the hunt. Was it that high? Yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: it was high.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Reports were that he's faster nowty prior to the injury,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: faster timed than he was before the injury.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I think it was like twenty six checonds. But anyway,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: fast not you say bolt, But I think it's interesting.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Two that he is wearing the base color that he
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: wears his tier. Oh, I know it was great, which
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: is offense. Yep, yep, okay. And then he he puts
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: on a white vest with twelve and it's got a
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: little draw string thing that George equipment guy tightstens up
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: in the back. And so he's switching back and forth
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: from offense to defense. So here's my question. Does that
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: mean anything that teal is the base color or should
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: white the defensive color be the base color, and he
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: should wear a teal vest over that.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Jeff, you bring it up. I was here
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: yesterday and that cat came out like you said, he
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: was wearing teal is the first thing I saw it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to obvious, son of a gun, which means offense.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Now I'm not so sure that the powers to be
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: are not playing footsheet here. We'll just see how it goes.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: You're going to keep us all in suspense. But I
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: thought was brilliant and by the way, in terms of
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: both positions, he played a little bit more I think
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: yesterday on offense if I'm not mistaken, but today pretty
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: balanced when you look at the numbers, a little bit
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: on an amateur tracker, if you will, as far as
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: that's concerned.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: But didn't have the aunt I should have.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: No I need that, but I intend to purchase one.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: But let me say this, the uh, the yesterday he
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: went up for a pass yesterday, Good golly can he jump?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, wow, he's a wow athlete. Now I'm again
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: talking to the choir and it's mister obvious here. But
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: when you look at that guy's ability to move and
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: to recover and to get back and plays with it,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: be offense or defense. His ball skills on both sides
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: of the ball. Jesus Pete and I watched him today
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: and hitting the sled and tackling. He's got snap.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, so he's added ten pounds to and.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: As Jeff said, he looks like it. I mean, he
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: looks you know, he looks top. Yeah, he looks thicker,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: he looks good. I mean, geez, I get it. I mean,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: if I'm coordinators, we're tugging this guy on one side
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and tugging him on the other side. And if the
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: good Lord, let's clone it. Let's do it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Twenty two point six miles per hour officially. Okay, I
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: knew there was a sixth in there. Subway, thank you.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I think twenty six is like you saying twenty six
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: world records. It's fast either way.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Let's touch on the offensive side for Hunter and how
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: he can fit into what was a prolific offense second
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: half of last season without him, we're scoring thirty points
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: a game almost, and there's a lot of all those
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: guys are back. So where do you fit him in.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: What's the perfect scenario for Hunter? You want your best
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: player on the field best players. There's some good players
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: on the field already. How does he fit in on offense?
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: I think that's a great question.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's not a matter of how he fits
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: in because he has a talent level that makes you
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: fit him in. It's how do you manage the personnel
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: group of talent on offense because you've got some good
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: wide receivers and that's not an easy thing to do,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: and you don't want to force it. You want to
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: let it happen organically to where I don't and it's
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: almost impossible to do because of human nature. But you
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: want to ignore the fact that he's a two way player,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: and you just look at it from Okay, if I
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: can get him for X amount of reps like anybody else,
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: if he was just a one way player, what's the
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: best way to utilize him? And that, to me is
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: the million dollar question. How do you handle that? And
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know the answer that because if you had
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: ten different coaching staffs managing the situation, you would probably
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: have ten different solutions or ten different answers to that.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: So we won't know until we actually see it, because
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know. If there's a writer, there's a wrong,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: But I do know that he's talented enough that he
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: is going to earn reps on offense with all that
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: talent that they have, and there's no question that he
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: should be a full time player for the most part
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: on defense because there's not a corner that can touch
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: them on this rough team, nobody. And I mean you
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: talked a little bit about it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: The ball skills down the field, his jumping ability, he's
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: in space.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Against somebody one on one.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: If we saw it a couple times last year, they
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: get it out quick to him.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Defenders don't have a chance.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: No his yards after carry, and he makes people miss.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: As you just said, he's big play, capital letters, big play.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: That's what this guy is. And I watched our staff
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and I heard Liam talk about they've mapped it out now,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: they've got a plan to make this happen. It's not
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: a gimmick. Okay, it's not a stunt or anything like that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It's well thought out. I watched Edgar Bennett yesterday, their
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: receiver coach in special teams. He's working with him on
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: his working his get off and short you know, some
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: route reads and so on and so forth and going.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: They are on this sucker and it's awesome. I mean,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I really like the plan. I'm with Jeff. I'd kind
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: of like to see him major on defense and minor
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: if you will, on offense. But there's a role for
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: this cat on offense for sure, based in the fact,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: and I say cat with respectively, I'm not saying that,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: but I think that he he can just do things that,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh. If I'm the opponent, I'm going, here's
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: what he is. He's like Bill Russell was in basketball
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: for the Celtics. You want to know where this guy is.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: You want to know this guy commands everybody's eyes.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Where is he?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: And you're gonna And that's the kind of guy you want.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: You want to want people to be concerned with, where
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: is the guy? Oh? Shoot, here he comes on offense,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: He's coming in. Oh here by men geez. I mean
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: this guy commands immediate, serious attention.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's an elite talent. And the play that really
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: stuck out or stood out to me today was when
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: he was on defense and he was and basically back pedaling.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: He had a receiver trying to press vertical. Travis turns
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: his hips to run vertical. When that happened. The receiver
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: planted his foot and went to the deep out and
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Travis just recovers so quick and then he literally was
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: right there to contest the catch, didn't interrupt it or
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: break it up. The receiver caught it. But Travis almost's
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: almost like he has this natural instinct that he knows
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: where he needs to be. Because the receiver was out
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: of bounds, you know, but it was right there at
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: the boundary, but he was so quick that he covered
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: what he had to to where the receiver could not
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: catch the ball in bounds. But that change of direction
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: and speed that he has, He's a corner that doesn't
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: have to turn his hips until the last minute, and
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: that makes him so much better on everything that he does.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: And I'm with Doff major on defense. And if you
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: had the minor on the other side of the ball, okay,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: that make it the offensive side of the ball.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I'm with Doff Well, I think what you just said
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: in terms of his skills at either spot or elite,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: but at corner especially, I think we need that. And
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: then when you look at all the other weapons we've got,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: including the tight ends as receivers over on offense, uh,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: you know, I think that's where I would suggest now again,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: the coaches are are hitting it every day, and I
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: respect what their plan is going to be.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: By the way, let me just jump You brought it
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: tight ends up the h What do you think is
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: the most competitive position right now? Running back on this foot?
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: But they haven't done anything in running. Give me a
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: couple of them, Give me a couple of linebacker. Okay.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm talking about competitive is like guys fighting
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: for a job. That's that you got some talent there, obviously,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: tight end since you brought it up right, Okay, I'm
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw defensive end out there. I mean you
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: you drafted two guys this year. You had two guys
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: last year. There were undrafted players that made an impact.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: So so that room right now is pretty competitive, right,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: bj Green right, the kid from the rues, williams uh
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Durfee durfy yep. Okay. And of course then you got Josh,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: and you got tray Von and you got an undrafted
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: kid where it's fifty nine, there's a couple of them. Yeah,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: but you're talking about six guys there because you got
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: two draft picks, two un drafted from last year and
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: your two stars, and so these tight ends, these poor
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: tight ends, this literally put the pats on. That's what
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. I'm just saying, just watching when I watched
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: a little bit of practice yesterday on film, and then
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I watched practice today and these poor tight ends are
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: getting one hundred miles an hour, and so uh, just
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: watch that battle kind of.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: As training camp develops and pass, I love that, we'll
• 28:43

  Speaker 4: A look at last year's final rankings for the Jaguars
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: defense and they were mostly strong. Number one in the
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: league against the run, number two in the league in takeaways.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: You see some of the highlights if you're watching on
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Jaguars dot com of Leaders Tackle Leaders.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Of course, Foyer leading the way there.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Heinz Allen part of that with he had eight sacks,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: but he had twenty eight quarterback hits last year, which
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: was six most in the National Football League.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: And Duff.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: This was a defense last year that really had it
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: going on in the first year under camp and now.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Onto year two. Some new faces.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: We talked about them, right, the linebacker spots, some changes
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: in the secondary.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: But coming off last year, where can they go from here?
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Oh? I think they're heading the right direction. I mean
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I saw it in the spring. The confidence that when
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: a defense plays fast, like I saw in practice these
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: last two days here and like we saw in the spring,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: that denotes confidence. These guys have been well coached. The
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: coaching staff has got people. They understand the strengths and
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: weaknesses of the players. They put them in different spots
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: to achieve and to be strong. So I see a
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: very confident group. I see them getting better and I
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: really do. I mean you, I mean, like I said,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: you said, watch practice. See how quickly they are recovering,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: See how quickly they are making plays. I mean, this
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: is a group last year that gave up the fewest
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: plus twenty yard runs in the league. Okay, their work
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: and today every position was working on tackling, and I
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: mean working on it in a big way. You know,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: they understand that this is how you get better. They're
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: focused in on fundamentals. They're not going to leave that.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: That's why they were a very good tackling team a
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: year ago. And that's what it is. You got to tackle, man,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: You've got to be physical on defense, and they demonstrate that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: But jeez, Opete, when you look at the A team
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: that last year was eighth and scoring on defense, sixth
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: and scoring on offense, I'm shooting over the offense a
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: little bit. And the type of special teams that we
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: had pretty good ball club here.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: The whole tackling thing I think was real key. We
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: were actually having a conversation Duff and I with Bisselli
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: while they were in the indoor facility because of the
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: lightning was in the area or whatever for a little while,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: and they had this pad that they all used to
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: work on their form tackling. It's it's very unique and
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I've never really paid attention to it until today, and
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: it's almost like a banana shape, but it's wide, and
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: so it's kind of that U shaped and so the
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: whole purpose of it is to fit, you know, your
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: body into that U shape and then you know, hat
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: hat on one side of the other. And the guy
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: that's holding it, he's got some handles and then he's
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: got pads to protect his hands, which is good because
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: a lot of times there's no protection for the poor
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: guy holding the bag. You know. Okay, yeah, you know,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: so I think that's a big part of it. But
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: it's one of the reasons why they're ranking against. The
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: run was so high, the lack of mistackles and duff
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: you were talking about the lack of long run. That's
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: one of the reasons why, you know. But the improvement
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: wise takeaways, if you can just repeat what you did
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: last year, you take it in a minute. Yeah, I
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: mean that's a high number, really high number. Hard to
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: duplicate that year in and year out. But where they
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: can improve at third down defense and pass rush. I
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: think those are two areas that they can be dramatically better.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: I thought that they fell off a little bit last year,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: and their coverage ability been also because of injuries that
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: they had in the secondary with Eric Murray and and
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis, and then but if you can get more
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: pressure up front, get all those guys healthy in the
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: back end, and they're a little deeper this year. I
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: think they can take big steps forward as long as
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: they can keep that attitude, because I believe stop and
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: run as an attitude. I don't think that that's necessarily
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: about talent. I think that's attitude.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, coach Camperanelli talked about that after practice today.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: He was talking about their defense and playing good run
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: defense again and playing good first and second down defense,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: so they can now tee off in terms of putting
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: teams in longyarded situations. So I like his focus as
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: far as that's concerned. And then last year when you
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: look at the statistics what Jeff talked about in terms
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: of pass rush, when they pressured last year, especially at
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: the defensive end position, linebacker position, and the secondary which
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: he uses them all, which is great if you've got
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the who's the guys that can do it. They were
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: in the top ten the area, that was twenty seventh
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: in the group in terms of pressure planing, pressure affecting
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the quarterback was our inside guys, interior d line. So
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: that group's going to have to positionally, I think, and
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: pass rush prominence step up big time.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: And part of that I think. You know, one of
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: the guys that helped you get pressure last year is gone. Yeah,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: I mean Devin Lloyd. That's what Devin Lloyd did best.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I mean when he was downhill the blitzer and so
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: and people say, well, how do you replace that? My
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: answer to that is is you don't necessarily have to
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: replace that that. You can replace that impact from maybe
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: a better interior pass rusher or a better edge rusher
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: in a four man rush and not having to send
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: a linebacker, which in a perfect world you want to
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: send for anyway, you don't want to have to send
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: a linebacker. So if you get better up front, we
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: were talking about that defensive edge position being so competitive, Okay,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: if you get more productivity out of all those guys,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: then you're you're gonna make up for that additive in
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: the pass rush that Devin Lloyd brought to your team.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so that's gonna be fun to watch and
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: see if they can find a way to get better
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: as a pass rushing unit, because that's that's this league now, right,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: it's a passing league.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, just as you said, Lloyd could really
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: he could really punch a hole in protection, you know,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: and whether it was picks or whether it was him
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: winning the one on ones or taking the gap. So
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I'm with you on that good point.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I wish him so well for sure,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: because he's a great guy. We'll see him here and
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: what we two. Yeah, a great guy. I mean I
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: wish him nothing but the best. And it was, you know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: one of those good guys. He's one of those guys
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: you root for just because of the man that he
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: is and always came to play, played hard. You know.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Give me a bunch of those guys.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna tell you right now, I've talked to
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: a couple of coaches down there, and he is already
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: making his presence felt. I mean both with his energy,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: effort locker room. I mean, he's I think he's got
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: it now, you know. I think he's really arrived, and
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I think he's got the goal to get better and better,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: and that's where it all starts, attitudally, and I think
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: he's making them better down there.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Just come back in a moment.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: We got the injury report, We've got players to watch,
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: and we'll get our final thoughts on ten ton xl
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: AM ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: YouTube coming up at five o'clock.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: It's Jags HQ. But this is Jaguars Happy Hour.
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: I think just the mental side and staying sharp on
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: everything so I can play fast like I was at
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: the end of the season, and the chemistry and just
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: the rapport with me and the skill guys is so important,
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: and just really tapping into that all throughout training camp
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: and making sure that we're on the same page. Because
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: you saw when we started clicking at the end of
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: the last season, you know how efficient and how sharp
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: we were and some of the plays were able to make.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: So just starting that now and trying to practice like
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: that every day, you know, so we can start the
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: season that way and not take a few weeks to
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: get there.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars Quarterback, season number six for number sixteen.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: Welcome back. It is Jaguars Happy Hour from Honday Studios.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: J P. Shadick, Jeff Logman, Mark Duffner. Yes, I thought
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: he got a haircut. Oh yeah, see, good joke. Do
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: you remember the schedule of these stuff? That thing around
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: that had me?
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Had me full?
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Got me full too, got you both?
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Got me for me?
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: I think there there's someone auctioning off the hair that
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: was actually cut.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, for charity. That's cool. Yeah. I think the
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: funny thing is that like the older you are, the
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: more likely or more susceptible you were to believe in that.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: So that makes us old.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I'm very old.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: The younger generation, they weren't buying that. They're like, oh,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: that's fake. Yeah, I'm like, no way, how do you
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: do that to make that fake that? Let's too real.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Let's get to a new feature, players to watch presented
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: by mister Chubby's wings before the game, after the game,
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: and during the game.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Oh they're so good. Yeah. We get him at halftime
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: every home game. We get him on Monday Happy Hour,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: my mouth, chuppy style wing stuff.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Cheese sticks bites, give me see, I'm going there now.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Let's touch on the running back room, of course, the
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: two returning players from last year's team that had quite
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: an impact in a base shoal tooton. Of course, La
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Quinn Allen DJ Dallas came in late in the season.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Last year, they brought in a couple of veteran players.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Chris Rodriguez junior of course in free agency, fourth year
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: out of Kentucky, and then a Mere Abdullah who was
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: a twelve year player. We actually covered his pro day
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: because we went to go cover the Randy Gregory pro
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: day at Nebraska and he worked out the same day that.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: A long time ago. That guy had some issues didn't
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: work out.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Jamar Taylor of course on the roster as well, rookie
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: out of Virginia caval good player. So we haven't seen
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: and we won't see the physicality of this until they
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: put pads on. That's when you really start to see
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: the run game truly developed. But what do you what
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: are you looking at here logs right now?
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: I mean that well, I mean look at the speed,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: the vision, but you know, the contact balance and the
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: ability to run through uh with power on some of
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: the tackles. I mean, you can't see that until you
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: get live, you know, and and and you can teach
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: running backs. I mean, it's it's a it's something that
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: they can get better at through understanding where the whole
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: design is and everything, but some of that is just
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: plain old instinct. You can't coach it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: It's god given, yeah, you know, really your ability the
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: vision that running backs have to have. The real good
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: ones have great vision. They can, as Jeff said, they
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: can find daylight. Some can't, you know, and they're they're talented.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: But that's what separates a real good one from the
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: average guy.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: So when I got to the Jets, we had we
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: had kind of a one to two combination. It was
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: if you'll remember Duff taking you back a few years,
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Johnny Hector, oh yeah, and Freeman mcneilni free McNeil was.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, just think as U c L A guy,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: think a guy. I think Johnny Hector was the Texas
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: A and M guy, I believe. And we had Roger
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Vick too. Maybe Vic was the Texas A and M guy,
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I remember, and Freeman was kind of a
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's the best way to describe him
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: out there a little bit.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: And so I free spirit.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: I never played running back, you know, I played like
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: growing up, I played quarterback and played linebacker. And so
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I asked Freeman one day, I was like, you know,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: as a running back. What do you see? You know?
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Because I mean that's what running backs. I mean, it's vision,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: it's instinct, it's you know, quick reaction and just motion.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: And Freeman's answer was funny. He was like, I see
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: the grass blown in the breeze. I'm like, come on,
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: give me answer, right, but he was serious, Yeah, really
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: what did you see? And and he said, I do, man,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: I see the grass and he goes, I see everything
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: and he goes in the most important thing is going
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: I just see color and he goes, you know, color
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: is it? You know? He said, because you never really
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: look at one thing. He said, you're just looking at
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: the whole big picture. And it's like you know, if
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: you look in a room and you're and you focus
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: on something, then you only see that something. But if
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: you just kind of look as a whole area, now
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: you see everything. And he said, that's kind of what
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: it is. He goes, you try to look at not
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: one thing in particular, you just see it all and uh.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: And he had great vision. I mean, so whatever he
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: was grass blowing in the breeze and all that kind
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: of stuff, whatever he was looking at, it worked for him.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: I love that time for the injury report presented by
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: UF Health. Handful of names on the list, Cole Van
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: landing on the P and P to start camp coming
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: off his knee injury from last year. Patrick McCarry, he's
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: kind of been working off and on at the guard
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: spot again. Like the offensive line stuff. The pads really
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: start telling the story there starting next week. Rodriguez, the
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: running back who had a foot issue in the off season,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: is back on the field, but Duff doing only some
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: individual drill stuff it looked like at least early. And
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: then Jack Kaiser the linebacker with a kneat issue, but
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: reports are that it's not gonna be a long term issue,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: which is great news to hear. So a training camp,
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: we're gonna have some dings, especially when the contact begins
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: next week.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it happens. And the running back room, I think
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: Bagel Touton is kind of the guy that we kind
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: of expect to be that guy, Rodriguez being kind of
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: the next guy with obviously the Quinn Allen junior having
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: that role carved out that he deserves so much as
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: a third down back. I think the rest of him,
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a tough make and I'm
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: a big fan of the of the running back from UVA.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: I think he's got the best chance to be that
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: next guy. But your contribution on special team special teams
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: has to be significant if you're going to be that
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: next guy, and it's hard to find a way to
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: get active on game day. So you know, look, it's
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: just let's see what happens, because you know, the reality
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: is is that every job is up for grabs. I mean,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: put the exception of Trevor's job and obviously a couple
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: other guys, but this is a very competitive football team.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: That position is very competitive. I would say that there's
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: a couple other spots. I would point to offensive line
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: I think is very competitive. So you got to kind
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: of see how things play out.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't sleep on that rookie Taylor. Like you said,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: I think he's he's bad on. You know, he's caught
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of people's eyes, and I'll tell you to
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: get him as a free agent based on what he
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: did collegiately, couldn't leave Jesus picked it up. Great pickup
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: by our guys, I mean it was and he's demonstrated
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: he's showing some stuff. Now he's gonna have to earn it.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Like you said, it's gonna be a tussle a little
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: bit there. But he's a guy that I think will
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: have a chance to, you know, minimally make the practice squad,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: I hope. And also I have a chance to the
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: way they honor players here, award players based on the
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: fact if you work hard and you show production, you're
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: going to play. So I love Touton Geez or Pete.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean every day that cat comes out
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: here to play and plays well. So and like you said,
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: la Quinn Allen, and look forward to seeing what Rodriguez
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: can do.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: The one thing that I really want to see kind
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: of evolve is the way that Bacial Touton runs last year.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: You could tell that he was running with a lot
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: of awareness about ball security, and you almost want to
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: see that become just a natural thing and not something
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: that he's consciously thinking about, because you could kind of
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: see if their are moments last year that he's got
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: the two hands on the ball and you want them.
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: Just to go.
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: Go.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Man, don't just don't worry so much about it. Be
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: cognizant of ball security, but don't let it consume you
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: because it changes the way you run and it slows
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: you down. So I hope that he evolves to that. Okay,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: I got the ball security thing down now. Now I'm
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: just gonna run because it'll make him so much better.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: And then then we'll see that four four speed that
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: he has, I mean, because he's a burner.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're right, we didn't really see a
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: lot of that early in the season. He had won
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: a couple of those late in the year though, where
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: he broke loose and wide and in the open like okay, yeah, that's.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: The but he broke loose a couple of times. He
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: was holding on with.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Well you know, he got hammered with that, you know, collegiately,
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: and I think that I think that I'm with you
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: on that, I thought, but I see I see a
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: little more of him doing what you're talking about, Jeff
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: running more with his speed and naturally carrying the ball
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: versus shoot you know, the tension if you will. Yeah, yeah,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: I think that's going to evolve.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: Practice again tomorrow for the Jaguars still no pads, just
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: helmets and shorts, and hey, they were going to extend
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: it probably a little bit more by the CBA rule,
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: and that's just how it goes. And fans are coming
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: out again tomorrow, hopefully no lightning delays this time.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of odd to have a lightning delay in
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: It was weird because it was the storm was like
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: on the South Beltway like it but within the ten
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: mile mark it was it put down a bolt and
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: they had to Coughlin didn't have a ten mile rule.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: A little. I remember one time we had multiple times
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: where we had a lightning strike and it was like,
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: you know, because you do the thing one thousand and one,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: one thousand and two, do you see how far away
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: it is? You know, what is it? Three is a mile?
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: I think that's what it is. And so if it
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: was like, you know, within three seconds, you're like, okay,
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: we got to start being aware, maybe go in. And
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: he was, you know, was like one of I think
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: a couple of times we had him in like at
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: four and five seconds and we're still practicing and then
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, next thing, you know, bolt of
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: light and hits the light post right outside the field.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: We're like you would see literally a mass sprint of
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: every player not waiting for him to say, everybody head
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: in they're like, the heck of this.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: We're out of here. Yeah, those are the days. The
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: technology's got to be safe, better safe than sorry. Certainly
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: moving ahead here.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: The fans, by the way, the very patient today. They
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: were so credit the fans that came out today because
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: they were up in the stands and the team was
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: in the indoor facility for safety reasons. They stuck it out.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: They stayed and they started clapping, so you're kind of
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: getting to the point where they were saying, Okay, the
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: storm's gone, let's go get out on the field, you know,
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: and a team ended up going out.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: So it was good credit to Stober and the football
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: technology staff. They actually showed the indoor practice on that
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: big screen out there and turned it towards the stands,
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: which was going on.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: By the way, I'm glad you brought that up, because
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: I think that's a really unique thing that you have
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: at practice. And so the whole purpose of practice is
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: to get better and to learn and to understand. And
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: you've always had the ability, like in a game when
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: you have a play and then ok, you come off
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: the field and you look at the iPad thing and
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: you can or Microsoft surface you can see the replay, well,
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: they have this big screen on the side of the
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: field where the scoreboard is, and so the players can
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: actually watch the replay after it happens, before their next snap.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: So it's pretty cool that you actually can have like
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: the coach. I saw one moment today because it was
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Jari and got called for a defensive pass interference and
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: he's like, what what what? And Liam pointed to the board,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: And so as a player he can watch and see, Okay,
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: what I did wrong or what I need to do better.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: Duff great stuff. We're gonna have you the whole first
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: hour all season one.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Praise Lord. I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: I can't wait. Thank you for that.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Mark Duffner with us, Jeff Logerman, I'm j P. Shadwick
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: coming up, Jaggs HQ.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: That's next. This has been Jaguars Happy Hour.
