  Speaker 1: play three of the first four games on the road
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and four of the last six away from Jacksonville. They'll

  Speaker 1: also face the entire a f C West this season
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and all the quarterbacks to come with those teams. Lamar
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Jackson and Dak Prescott are also on the schedule this year.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: On Jack's Drive Time Tuesday, Ashland, Slidon, John Osan, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton explained which quarterback matchup excites them most. What
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: quarterback matchup will be the most notable this upcoming season.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Have lots of options, perhaps a dak Pref Scott with
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys or a Derek Carr with the Raiders. Well,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I'm ready because I cheated and I looked at the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: question before. That's not the points go on, John, Well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in a different direction than the spirit
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of the question. Uh. But you know, she Land, thanks
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: for the question. I'm gonna do something different. I'm gonna
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: say all the quarterbacks in the a f C South.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is you've got Ryan
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: tanney Hill, Matt Ryan, and Dave's Mills. It's not in
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the elite group. Well, and they are capable, I mean
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: not Ryan tanny Hill has turned in you know, Matt
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Ryan's playing in a Super Bowl. Ryan tanney Hill has
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: uh stabilized that uh that franchise. When Derrick Henry was healthy,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: he was he was a bear to deal with. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: when we look at Trevor Lawrence and think of an
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: ascending Trevor Lawrence, there is are a lot of people
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: who believe he's the most talented quarterback in the division.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: How soon can he be the best quarterback in the division?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Can he start winning these matchups by the end of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the season. Are we looking at him and saying, you
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: know what, he was the best quarterback in the division.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: That's why they competed. So I'm looking forward to see
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: how he stands up against a group of quarterbacks they
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: did in theory, at least, I don't think he should
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: be number four out of that bunch by the end
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of the season. I don't wear he'll rank, but he
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: should start ascending in that and I think that will
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: be a key to how the season plays out. And
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you know what, I don't mind that answer. I may
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: just leave the show give it to you. I'll go
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with Justin Herbert, who I you know, the jack Wars
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: were interested in him a couple of years ago, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: he did not slide far enough for them. If if
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: he had, they might not have Trevor Lawrence at this moment,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: because I don't know I think they would. You're you're
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: talking about a big, strong guy. You really think they
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: would have passed on Justin Herbert. You're saying if they
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: drafted just to Herbert, would they still have drafted Trevor Lawns?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't be sad um. The guy is just he's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: an absolute stud. I mean, he's a great, big, strong
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: guy who can deliver the ball down the field, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the Chargers have built a team around him. He's got receivers,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: he's got offensive lineman. Um. I think that the Chargers
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: could be good enough this year to win the a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: f C. UM. And I was a fan of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: kid when he was in Oregon, and I'm anxious to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: see him in. What you've got is, you know, two guys.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: If Trevor Lawrence is who we think he is, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert continues to be who he has been, you've
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: got you know, you've got Ben Roethlisberger versus Peyton Manning.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got that Markie kind of matchup. Um.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Of course, you can say that about a lot of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks because the a f C is loaded right now.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But I think Trevor Lawrence has the name, UM, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Herbert obviously has the results so far. It could be
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a special matchup. Herbert's a guy you I'm sorry if
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you keep waiting, not keep waiting stand playing leave that long.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But has put up incredible numbers, makes that team very competitive,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and yet hasn't quite gotten them to where you thought
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: at the end of season last year, you thought they'd
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: win that last game, and getting the playoffs, so it
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: hasn't quite gotten that. So I think nationally this is
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a big year for Herbert in that sense. They need
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs in year three. And and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not any way calling him under achiever in that sense.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It's not that because he's not. I think he's really good.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I would you know, he's one of the two or
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: three quarterbacks that I would want if I was starting
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a team. Uh, but there is that thing. They haven't
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: quite had that record. Uh And with my homes doing
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in the second year, that's sort of the standard. Now
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you want to get there as this guy. So I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: think it's a big year for Herbert. I love the kid.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I think he's the guy. And you know, they're playing
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in the shadow of the Rams, right the Super Bowl
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: champions in a huge market, and they they have not
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the Chargers have not been on national television in prime
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to time games. But in that market, with that quarterback,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they're not far away from being a you know, three
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: or four primetime game kind of team. So this is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the litmus test they get over that this year. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, you know, at some point, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Matt Stafford's gonna retire and the Chargers are going to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: surpass the Rams because they've got that long term solution
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: at quarterback. Yeah. I mean, you can only keep up
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the roster of the Rams at some point for so long.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: At some point guys start to retire, get old, get
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: hurt um. But that kid in l A gives the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Rams a chance, the Charges a chance to best the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Rams and be the marquee team in the ramsone stadium.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: That'll be fun. Jack's Drive Time airs Tuesday at ten
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a m. On Jaguars dot com and the Jaguars social
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: media channels. The full schedule and single game tickets available
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: now at Jaguars dot com slash tickets. Moving ahead to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: this weekend's Rookie Minicamp, over forty players participated, including draft picks,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: undrafted rookies, first year players on the Jaguars roster currently,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and tryout players. On Jaguars Happy Our Radio Thursday, Jack's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: analyst Jeff Lagman explained how rookie Mini camp should feel.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Rolling rookies up in here and uh and expecting and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: wanting them to go completely full speed and wide open
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: is insanity for two reasons. One, the players need to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: acclimate to what your expectations are as coaches. Okay, these
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: rookies have been preparing for the draft. They haven't been
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: preparing for football practice in the National Football League. Okay,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: they've been doing the handshake and kiss babies tour since
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the draft, okay, celebrating. Okay. So I think you've got
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to have I think a lot of common sense with
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the way you approach a rookie minicamp and that you're
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: trying to assimilate these young players into their into your
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: system and to teach them what the expectations are, not
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: immediately say physically you need to show us right now
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it's crazy, um. And then the other reason, you have
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: rookies that are drafted that you have huge investments in okay,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: fully guaranteed contract, ton of upbrunt money. Okay. So you're
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: bringing in the draft picks with you know, Muma and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Lloyd and all the other guys, Connor, and then you're
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: also bringing in a lot of rookies on a tryout basis,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: so okay, so you have to be a little bit
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: smart there too. And that Okay, you've got a section
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of rookies that are trying to make an impression. They're drafted,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they know that they're gonna have an opportunity to earn
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the the ability be on this team. There's another segment
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of rookies that are have a little bit of a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: window and that they're given an opportunity to show what
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: they can do over these couple of days. So do
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you want to have that group that's trying to impress
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: right now go on a hundred miles an hour with
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: this group over here that's trying to impress, but then
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: also knows that they're gonna be here for training camp.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have the two of these groups
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: kind of mixing together, you know what I mean, Because
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: sometimes you have guys that are a little out of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: control from the group that doesn't have a contract, that's
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: here on a tryout basis show something that's trying to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: show something in a limited window. And I totally appreciate
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that and respect that, but you gotta be careful. You
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: have to limit I think the number of group drills
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that you do. You do more of the individual work
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and it's a lot of classroom stuff to see how
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the retention is and um, but physically it's it's showing
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: them the expectation. That's it's getting them to work in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the shape. I just remember when you go back and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Dante Fowler when he tours a c L.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: This was a very tough, demanding practice that Dante Fowler
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: was getting winded and his legs were getting tired. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I think that contributed to the a c L terror
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that he sustained in that practice because he wasn't condition
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: conditioned where he needed to be. I truly believe that
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: because I was watching him in practice schooling this is
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: not good. He's getting winded because he's going a hundred
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: miles an hour trying to impress I'm a first round pick.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I want to show everybody why I'm a first round pick.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And uh and then one bad step there goes Jaguars
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Happy Our Radio. It's Thursday at four o'clock on tentin
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: x L a M, Jaguars dot com and the Jags
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: social channels Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Time to hear from
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the head coach. Doug Peterson met the media Friday ahead
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of the opening practice of two rookie minicamp, and he
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: had plenty to say about what to expect this weekend
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and the interactions so far with the veterans in the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: off season program. You know, obviously we want to get
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: out healthy and no injuries. UM, you know, we make
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a point of emphasis of that. We're trying to really
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: also see what these guys can do. Um, you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: we want to challenge him in the class room and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: then obviously take it to the to the practice field,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you know, and let them really kind of showcase their
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: talent and um you know, uh, let them, let them
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: play fast, you know, protect each other out there on
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the you know, just learn learn how we do things here.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Um are all things that I'm looking for, uh, these
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: next three days, I think I think showing the other name,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you said something about having Trevor start over from Brown zero.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I guess could you elaborate a little bit? Yeah, you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And it's really it's really sort of um, you know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: kind of taking what he did last year and sort
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of building on it and almost like hitting the reset
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: button just a little bit, because this is the first
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: time that we've had our chance to work with him,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you know, and and uh and really begin to um,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you know, work on work on the details and the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: fundamentals and the you know, how to be how to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: be a professional, and you know, his study habits and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: all those things that that that come with being you know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback. And you know, the thing with with
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Trevor that that I really like is the fact that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you know, he played last year and and so this
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is not his rookie season, but for us as coaches
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: being the first time to get our hands on him,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you know, and just putting him through maybe a different
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: set of drill something he's you know, hasn't been used
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to in his past, and and really developing his talent
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and and allowing him to kind of showcase that on
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the field is sort of what what I was alluding
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to the other day. This is what we want as
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: opposed to we have to just absolutely treat him. Yeah,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's you know, teaching him exactly what
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: we're asking of him within our system and and then
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: letting him, you know, grow from there. Does see evidence
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that having played last year questions oh, you know he
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: he's so h engaging right now. Um, The communication is
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: is uh is pretty incredible the things that he sees
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: on the football field. And even even from the standpoint
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of you know, hey, I like this play, this is
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: what we did last year. I like this play I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like this concept. Is there a way that we can
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: incorporate this in our offense? And so those are that
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: those that's the dialogue that is going on right now,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and this is the time to really, I think, embrace
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that and get it into our system. Now. This is
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: it a full go kind of opportunity. But for those
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: tryout guys, what does the tryout guy have to do
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to impress you too? Maybe on the roster I think
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you know, um, you know, obviously you know we're gonna
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: come away and when we start next Monday, obviously we'll
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: be a full squad at nineties and and for someone
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to catch our eye and to say, hey, you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: we're always looking to to develop our roster, right and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to add talent and value to our roster. And and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and if if someone catches our eye that way, and
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and you know, you want to make a move, you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: make a move. Um, And it's not out of the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: question for a for a tryout guy to do that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: You know, only even if it is three days you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to do that, and um, you know, to be able
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to give that guy an opportun because there was something
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: specific that you kind of look for from those guys.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I mean since these aren't you know, full on drills
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: where you can really see what they can do, is it?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, how guys transition, how they interactive coaches, anything
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: like that. I think that's all part of it, um,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you know, but but really I think how you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: how how professional they might be, you know, in these
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: next three days. And you know, and again as you
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: guys know, you're always developing and turning over the bottom,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you know, third, your roster um now through training camp,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you know, even during the regular season, you're you're constantly
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: moving guys and and it would take something you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: pretty special for that to happen at this at this point,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: do you know with Jimmy snip the third, how does
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that come about? And is there is that a little
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: bit of an oh to you know, to the history here? Yeah, well, yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it is a little bit, you know, And obviously you know,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: something that I've sort of adopted philosophically or whatever is
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you know, former players or even staff members coach, is
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that that has I have a son that's you know
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: obviously NFL player, and um, you know, and and just
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the respect factor of that and and you know, obviously
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Jimmy is was a tremendous athlete and player and played
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: here and and his son's a talented player as well,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and and um, you know, so it was a good fit,

• 15:58
  Speaker 1: their first practices with the Jaguars organization, starting with first
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: overall pick Trayvon Walker. He is officially playing outside linebacker,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: something he did at times with the national champion Georgia Bulldogs.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Always kind of dimpling adapted in the outside linebacker world,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: but just strictly working on outside linebacker things. In practice,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm truly get more comfortable with the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: position and learn a lot more techniques coming from that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: position and not have to learn so many different other positions.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Do you know you've got a lot of techniques to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: learn or have these guys opened your eyes up already
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to hey, you've been really good at the cleatier level,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: but you can learn this much more. Oh? Yeah, they definitely.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: It's always room for improvement. Come from George, there was
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of techniques that we went over, but also
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: coming here, Like at George, we ran a lot of techniques,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: but once I got here, break down a lot of
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: those techniques that I learned at Georgia and just put
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: them into a family and focus on that one thing.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: How did you feel at dropping like you wanted to?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I felt good to drop back of coverage. I did
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: it at Georgia, so I was kind of used to it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: But now I'm working on a lot more getting seven
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: h seven, so I'll get a lot more comfortable with
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: dropping instead of just dropping every now and then. One
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of the last since we last spoke to you, right
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: after the first day of the draft, one of the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: last few weeks been like for you is it focused
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: on finding a house, hasn't been working out with other
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: guys here? What have you been up to me? I've
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: just been grinding. Like once after all that was over,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I just went back to College Georgia Rehab. They had
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: out of nutrition stuff, so I just went back there
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and continue putting to work in some of the other
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: guys that had just been drafted that were there and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: what was kind of that experience And it was definitely
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a great experience getting seeing a lot of the guys
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: at least one more time. I had Jordan Davis out
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: there working out with me, Devonte Wi. So you know,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: just that brotherhood that we had at the University of Georgia.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: We all bun we all communicate with each other like, hey,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: let's go work out, get this word today, and just
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: having those guys that will push you, Like I really
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: didn't have to work out just because I mean it
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't doing that at the time, but just having those
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: guys around made it a lot easier to go out
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: there in the heat and have some fun work on ball.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Now to the twenty seventh overall selection, linebacker Deva Noyd
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: has expected He's excited to be on the practice field.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: That's all I was training, you know. So I'm getting
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: with Jason and I'm even training before that. Um, I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: gotta do something football related. Um So, whether it be
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: mentally athletically like on the field or um doing doing
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: something you know that's uh, you know, helping me and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: um making me better. So you're supposed to take a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: break for a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like for me right now, it is the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: time where you know, you don't really I always you know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: pace myself to make sure I don't burn out. But
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, I gotta do something.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: That's why if it's not you know, on the field physically,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: then it will be something mentally you know that will
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: kind of be you know, my my my day off
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: or even just you know, recovery. You know, even if
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything, I'll take that day just to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: fully recover, you get a hundred percent, that will kind
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: of be my day off. So I feel like me personally,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I kind of understand how to pace myself, how not
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: to burn out, but also, um, I mean still finding
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a way to you know, elevate person oppression. What do
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you like about the defense paper? Interesting. Yeah, yeah, that's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: my first time in the three four. But I love it. Um.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like, I mean, if you look at the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: people that we have, and you know, I mean this
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: is we don't even we're not practically with the vets
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, but even the guys we have
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: right now, Um, you know, everybody's athletic, and you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: everybody has to do a lot of things, which um
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: fisting my skill set, um, you know, and I just
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: love what um, you know the coaches have going on
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: here as far as what they're asking the players to do,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: how we're attacking um offenses, and you know it really
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: our mentality as a defense, you know. Um, I like
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: what we got going on, not a whole lot. It's
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: mainly the front, you know. I mean even then we
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: still have um, you know, a nickel we call it
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: for two front, so UM, I mean we we can swap.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: We've been doing that so um. But yeah, the four three, Um,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you know that's our three four. Excuse me, that's a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: little bit newer, but at the same time, it's not,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you know, too much of a difference. Really. Look, Fortner
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: was the sixty five overall pick in the two NFL
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: draft the center out of Kentucky. Yeah, just trying to
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: stay up on drills and conditioning and you know, I'd
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: like to say I conditioned enough, but I got out
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: there and clearly it wasn't enough. Now it's you know,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: just been trying to work as hard as I can
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and be ready to get here. So have you seen
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: your your versatility, you know, from from what you did
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: at Kentucky kind of translating here to be able to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: be easier to learn the playbook and things like that. Yeah, definitely.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I think the minute you can understand the place for
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: more than one position, it becomes easier all around. And uh,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: just being able to be on the line at any
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: position and either helping guys or being helped at a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: different position. I mean it goes miles for learning the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: playbook and being ready to be in on game day.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Coach Peterson said after you were drafted that, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: he thought you did all the things that Kentucky and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: they're run game that they do here. Have you kind
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: of just early looked at the play what kind of
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: seen some similarities between where you did a Kentucky where
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you be asked to do here. Yeah, one thousand percent
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I see plays and I'm like, oh, you know, I've
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: done that. I know what it is, just a different
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: name and just getting the terminology down. And obviously it's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you know, way more complex anything we did to Kentucky,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: but at the court it's very similar. And that's that's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: nice to fall back on. And then just how bigger
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: an advantage do you think that they just playing in
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a you know, a college scheme that really prepared you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: for the NFL like that, know, you know the coordinators
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: with as Angel, Yeah, absolutely. I mean Liam Cohen is
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: for Congenius. I mean he you know, he I sit
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in the meeting room and he says things and I
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: just like scratched my head a little bit of my wofe.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: But obviously he knows what he's doing. And uh, you know,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: fifth year didn't have a pro style offense and wasn't
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you know, a super highly touted prospect and six year
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: had a pro offense and you know, here I am.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: So it definitely helps a lot. And finally, Wyoming linebacker
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Chad Mumo was selected only five spots later than Fortner
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and getting it on the field and back to actual
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: football was a relief. It was awesome. You know, finally
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: being able to put on you know, Jacksonville helmet and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: run around out there with some the other guys and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: just communicate and kind of get that first day out
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of the way is really awesome, now are you mostly?
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I mean I past saw you and Devin were doing
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit mike each kind of sharing that role.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: What was it like first day out there, knowing that
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the two of you can add such versatility for that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: line backing around? No, it was great, you know, having
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Devon and I out there and being really communicating, you know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: really communicate with each other and really push each other.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: That's kind of something that we you know, it talked
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: about going into today and you from here on out,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: it's just to push each other every single day to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you know, really get ourselves better and always just that
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: communication aspect where we're making both the calls and you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: we're having that leadership on both sides of the defense.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I think that was huge today also when you get
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the call when you first learned that the jack Wards
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: had cracks, if you, uh, did you have any inkling
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: at all that how you would fit and if so?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And that has that change now that you're actually here
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: been in meetings and he's just kind of get a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: later lamb a little bit. Yeah, Initially it was you know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: really kind of a real surprise for me because I
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: saw that they took you know, Devin Lloyd in the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: first round, and so you know, at that time, my
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: mind was thinking, Okay, they got their linebacker. Um, I'm
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: not gonna be going there, and they're the ones that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you know, ended up giving me the call, and so
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you know, I was really thankful to have that, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure how it was all gonna work now,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: But you know, after going through the meetings and being
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: able to you know, kind of go through those different positions, um,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and you know, be able to kind of flip between
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Devon and I, uh, it's it's good now, It's it's
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: just still kind of getting that field for it, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: you go to why don't we Do you you think the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: NFL was a possibility, Like if you're going out of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: high school and I don't did it securialize? It was
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: definitely in the back of my mind a little bit,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: and I think it definitely materialized a little bit when
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I saw you know, Andrew Winger Dowey had a success
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: here at Jacksonville. Then you know, a couple of Marcus
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Apps was drafted that year as well. Then it really
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: uh came to fruition when you know, Logan Wilson was
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: you know, going through his draft process and he got
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: drafted by you know, Cincinnati, and I was playing with
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: him and alongside of him my second year, and you know,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: seeing what he did, uh, you know, the opportunity that
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I had ahead of me, and that's really when it
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: kind of came to me. All the press conferences and
