2 Games in London, Rookie Minicamp Takeaways | Week in Review: May 15 · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: This is the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend review podcasts presented by
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: TIAA Bank. I'm JP Shadwick with the best of the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: week from Jags Radio, Jaguars dot Com and our social
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: channels Jaguars Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. It's Monday, May fifteenth,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and today we have a recap of the schedule release
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: plus rookie mini Camp Weekend. We start with the announcement
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of back to back games in London for the Jaguars.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks and John Oser joined me on the Huddle
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Up Podcast Wednesday for reaction.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thinks a great thing in terms of growing the game,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: but also growing the Jaguars brand overseas. You talked about
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: already having a presence there to be able to have
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: back to back games. You like to think that even
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: if they're home or away games, it should be busy,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a sold out spot. But now you
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: have an opportunity to really create a teal environment in
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the UK. This is something that should be exciting. Even
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: though Jaguars fans won't get a chance to see those
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: two games on domestics or it still should be a
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: huge opportunity for the team to grow and to take
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: advantage of a situation that should be favorable for them.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and to that point the last part there, remember
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: how narrow home field and playoffs seating and things can be.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: It can come down to one game early in the season.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So the Jaguars not having to go to Orchard Park
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and play in that hostile environment against the Buffalo Bills.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You go to a more neutral type style venue in London. Yeah,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and you're there for ten days. The Bills are coming
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in later, you know. I think that's it could be
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: huge down the line in terms of seating in playoff implications.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Shot.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Cons always said they're gonna play in London, so learn
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: how to play that. I mean, that was way way
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: way back in the day. It needs to be a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: home field advantage. I have felt over the years. I
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: don't there was a time where I didn't necessarily feel
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: like they had a great advantage fan wise in London.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I think that's you can always pick out games and
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: find exceptions, but jp you've been there. Overall, they haven't
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: won all their games in London because they haven't been very.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Good a lot.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Overall.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I felt like there's there have been times where they
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: have played better and seemed more prepared for the environment,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: for the newness, for whatever than their opponents. I think
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: overall they're good in London when they are good. They
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: played poorly there last year. The Denver game was obviously
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a benchmark game for Trevor. But I think it should
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: be a good thing as long as you don't get
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: a blizzard at Tottenham. To not have that game late
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: season in Buffalo. I mean, if there's something that there's
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: something that stands out, it would be that the Atlanta
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: game being here or being in London. I don't really
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: seem much to differentiate that. But yeah, not having playing
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: in a blizzard in January and Buffalo would be good.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It should be good. I mean, like you talk about
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the weather advantage, just not having to deal with that
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: part of it. Also you think about the travel, then
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: travel may be working one way because Jacksonville will already
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: be over in the UK. You don't have to worry
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: about like, oh, how do we get back and forth
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: when you play the back the second of the back
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to back, whereas Buffalo have to come over, they have
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to get acclimated, they have to deal with the time
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and all that other stuff, and so it should be
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a huge advantage. We have seen how Doug Peterson has
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: been able to take advantage of these schedules when it
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: comes to getting the team ready, whether it's short weeks,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: back to back, three games in eleven days, whatever that is,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: He's been good at adapting and adjusting. And so this
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: is the opportunity for maybe the Jacks to have a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: competitive advantage because they are playing back to back weeks
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: overseas and they have fewer adjustments that need to be
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: made to play in this game than some of the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: other teams.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: On what Podcast available on the Official Jaguars podcast network
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and Jaguars dot Com. On Jaguars Happy Our Radio Thursday,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Maria Jigante, Ars VP of UK Operations on how the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: organization should take advantage of the scheduling.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: We are very excited. The announcements yesterday went over really well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Of course, lots of questions about the Jaguars commitment, what's
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: going on? What does two games mean? But for us
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: on the ground, it just means more access to the players,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: more fun things to do for the fans, and just
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: an opportunity to really take advantage of the back to
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: back weeks.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go through that A little bit. There's always
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a build up going into the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: one game at Wimbley, you know. Obviously, now with the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: week between the two games, there's an opportunity for our shows,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Happy Hour, Drive Time, all those things to maybe go
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: out on location. What else is in the hopper I mean,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: or is it too early to tell what kind of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: fan experiences you might have?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it is too early to really talk
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: about what we will be doing. I think some of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the things we want to do is what you just mentioned,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: is to bring all that authenticity, the drive Time show
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: and all the programming that we do in Jacksonville to
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: the UK. So we did some scouting of some pubs
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: for you last couple of weeks, so looking for a
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: location to do all that, but really get out in
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the community, you know, take the opportunities that we would
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: have had in Jacksonville with the player's day off and
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: bring them out to the community to meet the fans
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: and to do some of our grassroots work that we
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: feel really is the identity of the Jaguars here. It's
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: the grassroots activity and everything we're trying to do to
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: build the game.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Readigatta is with us formerly of the National Football League.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You're involved in the league side of this for a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: long time. So from a personal perspective, how's it been
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: from working for a team side now after being with
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the league for so many years, It's very different.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I personally enjoyed the side of the business a lot better.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: But it's great to be part of the first game
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: in two thousand and seven and then to see how
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: everything has evolved that you now have a team owning
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: a game and operating it here in the UK is
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: just tremendous, and you know, I'm so happy to be
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: a part of it and love to have seen the
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: you know, the Jags progression and everything that the team
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: has been able to do and now leading that is
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: really special.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Mari.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You touched on it there and you said it last
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: season was the first time the Jaguars owned the game.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: They ran everything, and you were obviously at the forefront
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of that. So how has that helped you streamline the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: process this time around going into year two of owning
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the game at Wembley.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Well, we certainly had a lot of learnings last year,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: but coming you know, the second time around, we have
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: great partners at Wembley that have really supported us through
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the journey, so it is it is a bit smoother.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: We know where we want to stay, we know where
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: we want to practice, We've got the charter sorted out,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: so now it's really focusing on all the other good
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: stuff that we can do, so all the exciting fans, fanning,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: game age opportunities, events, and the stuff that we really
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: didn't focus on last year because we were so committed
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: to just putting on a great game for the team,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: but for the fans as well.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Our Radio Thursday at four o'clock on ten
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to xlamand Jaguars dot Com. The rest of the Jaguars
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: schedule came out Thursday night and includes only one true
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: road game the first six weeks of the season, three
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: primetime games, including Thursday Night Week seven in New Orleans,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football at home Week thirteen against the Bengals,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and Sunday Night Football Week fifteen against the Ravens. The
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Jags also closed the season with games at Tampa home
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: against Carolina, and then Week eighteen in Nashville against the Titans.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: John Hosier, Brian Sexton, and I reacted to it on
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a schedule reviews show Friday morning.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: In going through the whole thing. This is obviously a
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: finishing stretch where on paper you've got four teams out
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: of this bunch that losing records last season. So on paper,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: if you look at the league that way, this should
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: be a spot where you could kick to the finish.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: The league doesn't usually work that way. One of these
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: teams is going to be better than that and sort
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: of bite you. But isn't an interesting Through the seventeen games,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: you can sort of see the future around here. Quarterback
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: matchup versus quarterback matchup in five or six marquee games.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: The last one on paper anyway, is Lamar Jackson and
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Big picture here, the league has been really good to
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: the Jaguars. You know, Christmas Eve, they're in Tampa. It's
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: not like you're playing on the West Coast or someplace
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: that you're gonna really have to fight to get back to.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: And then New Year's Eve your home. I'd have to
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: go back and look at November to see where they
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: are after Thanksgiving. I don't recall. But the reality of
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: it is is, from top to bottom, this is a
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: really fair schedule.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Houston's about the furthest West they go this year, Yeah,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: what's about it?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: And it really breaks down as a whole. And you
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: saw of news before the schedule came out. Games against
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: five division champions from last year. Whatam's Tampa which was
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: under five hundred, but four power division champions like I
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: consider San Francisco and the three AFC teams power teams
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: that will be benchmark games. And Doug will talk about
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: it as he goes for you know, but then the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: other games are games against teams that on paper could struggle,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: could be a have have not type season. And then
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: as soon as I say that, it never plays out
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: the way you think it's going to.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: In April or May, the full schedule review available on
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, one of the Jaguars social media channels.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: At the beginning of rookie Miniicamp, head coach Doug Peterson
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: was asked his reaction to the schedule and the approach
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to the games in the UK.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: I liked it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, obviously we knew our opponents going
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: into the schedule, but you know, I think it. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: was excited to get the three you know, the three
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: prime times other than the two London games, you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: to have the Monday night game here, a Sunday night
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: game here or exciting for our fans obviously for us
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: and our players. And then the Thursday in New Orleans
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: is you know, a road road Thursday game and and
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: you know against the great opponent. So I thought the
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: schedule WOUL was great. Got some really good teams coming
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: coming in here, you know, to play, and we're excited
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: about that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: Playing the back to back flending games.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: What sort of challenge do you think that could presume?
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: None?
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: You know, we just stay there. We just stay there
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: for a week, I mean, you know, and and we
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: do have a game after that, you know when we
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: come back. But you know, we're on the East coast
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: and travel is not bad, you know, when we come
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: back and we gain the time, so it doesn't really
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: affect anything that we do preparation, nothing like that. You
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: have to change from towns over there, we will, we will,
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: we'll be at the Grove and then we moved to Hamburg.
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: It listen, they have guests and they have parties and
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: they have reservations that they have as well, so you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: we have to accommodate that. So you know, we'll be
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: at the Grove the first week, and then we'll move
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: to Hanbury Court. I've never been there, so we'll be
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: exciting to move there. Not again transitions. We'll go play
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: the first game and then we'll go to Hanbury, So
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: it's it's like coming back home.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Were you vocal once again about not having the buy
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: right after London? And also, what did you learn last
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: year when you guys came right back and then you
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: had to play a game back in the States.
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: Seek Yeah, you know, those are all interesting topics, you
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: know when when you're talking about these these you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: London games or Germany or Mexico City, But you know
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: it's week four and five, right and then we I
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: didn't I didn't necessarily care to have a buy like
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: that early in the season because there's a ton of
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: football past that and and really your season, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: as we know, can really take off in the back
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: half of the year. So you know, not having a
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: buy when we come back is fine, you know, And
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: and players are really caught up with sleep honestly by
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: the time we get back on the field on Wednesday.
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: You know, coaches could be a little droggy, but but
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: that's just what we have to do.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: And so.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: It worked out for last year.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: Obviously we'll learn from last year and and some of
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: the things that maybe we went through, the struggles we
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: went through, especially early in that football game, you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: and we'll just learn from.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: That single game. Tickets on sale now at Jaguars dot

• 12:16
  Speaker 1: three two thousand. Also speaking this week, Jaguars assistant general
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: manager Ethan Waugh explain the busy final day of the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: draft ten picks over the final four rounds. It was busy.
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: So I think we had we had six picks. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: think three six is three sevens and so. And the
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: timeframe on those picks is very small, so there's not
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: a lot of trading. If there is a trade, it's
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: happening very fast, and you're trying to get kind of everybody,
• 12:42
  Speaker 9: make sure everybody's on board with these guys as they
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: come off. And then you're also kind of trying to
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: plan for free agency after the draft to fill out
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: your ninety and as everything makes a pick, it changes
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: you know, who'sh who's going to be available, So it
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: is hectic, but it's it's fun, you know. That's the
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: that's kind of the most active part of the draft
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: we can. Usually draft days are pretty boring, so a
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: little bit of activity is fun.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Are you still surprised that you guys really weren't able
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: to trade up?
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: Not really surprised. I think it's, you know, sometimes it's
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: just more difficult than others. Know, you have to it
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: takes two to tango right the old cliche, but you know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: and you have to get the right deal with the
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: right team at the right time, and just you know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 9: just unfortunately didn't work. But I think we're overall, we're
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: pretty pleased with.

  Speaker 1: move to Rookie Minnie Camp from Friday and Saturday. Head
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson set the tone on day one.
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: For us really as coaches to kind of put our
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: eyes on them for you know, for meaningful purposes, right
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: to obviously install some offense defense special teams, see what
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: they know, take it to the classroom, and then just
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: be able to watch them just move around and kind
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: of begin the process of you know, how are they
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: gonna fit with our team and current team and and
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: you know, just get a get a good feel for
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: you know, these guys.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: These next couple of days, the Jaguars welcome nearly forty
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: players to the camp, including the thirteen draft picks. It
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was also the first look at first round pick tackle
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and Tom Harrison he's looking forward to the work ahead.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Uh definitely said, I was able to put in a review,
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: but always knowing that it's more ahead, so not taking
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: a step back, not chilling, but just getting to work,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: trying to get better, get ready when I got here,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: So just trying to do that and get better every day.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: Obviously that's the rookiekey part of it. How excited are
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: you to get with the veterans and obviously the guys
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: that have been around this thing for a while.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: I'm very excited this great guys, especially in my group.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Oline grooses great guys to learn from look up to.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: So even like Dyyl, he was here today, so just
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: talking to him throughout the whole day and practice was great,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: just learning from just a little tips and tricks. So
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: I feel like it's very helpful.
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: There's obviously a lot of eyeballs on you as a
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: first round pick, but also the possibility that you'll have
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: a chance to start right away in September if you
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: have to grow up fast in the NFL.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Definitely, But I say it's a test that I'm going for.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: It was something I did at the last level, when
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm ready to do it at this level.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Second round pick tight end Brenton Strange knows he could
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: contribute to that tight end room right away and two
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: tight end sets could create mismatches.
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, when you have athletic tight ends such as like
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: me Evan Luke and the rest of the guys in
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: the room, you can create a lot of stress on
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: the defense. It creates mismatches all over across the field.
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: And that's not only in the past game, but also
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: being able to go out there and run an eleven
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: play and use it as twelve personnel. But then the
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: next player maybe do hurry up or something and go
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: out there and just and run the ball. So that's
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: the luxury of having great tight ends in your room.
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: And like I was saying to him earlier, I just
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: I can't wait to get in here with the older
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: guys on Monday and learn from them and just pick
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: up all the little details and everything.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: It's a little early for this, but looking ahead a
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: little bit to when you get physical in the game,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: right when you get some pads on how different do
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you expect the physicality to be in the NFL as.
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: Opposed to go I'm sure it'll be a little bit
• 17:34
  Speaker 10: more physical. You play a good players every single week
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: in the NFL, so it's a little different from college
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: and that aspect. Sometimes you might play a team that
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: you know you're better than going into the game. But
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: that's something I pride myself on. I'm a physical player,
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: Like whether that's me blocking or whether that's me with
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: the ball in my hands, I'm a physical player. So
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: I look forward to those type of things and those
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: type of challenges.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Fifth Round draft pick Antonio Johnson was listed as safety
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: during rookie mini camp. He's known for his physicality, but
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: this weekend gave him a chance to show some other skills.
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: Being physical is a big part of my game, but
• 18:09
  Speaker 11: you know, been out here in no past, so I'm
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: really able to really work on like my footwork and
• 18:13
  Speaker 11: my technique and man coveraging different like zone drops. So
• 18:17
  Speaker 11: it's it's a plus for me because everybody know me
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: for my physicality, but I'm able to showcase other things
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: like my man and like different zones because I ain't
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: play a lot of zone like deep zone, so being
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: able to showcase I could do that as well.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: So how different is that part of it as opposed
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to college just the schematics.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Of the back.
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: It's a little different for the most part because landmarks
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: are different, you know, being with the hashts being a
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: little closer and just really like just understanding like just
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: doing your job. You know, in college you might try
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: to do it a little bit extual, but like you
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: out here with pro so for everybody doing their own job,
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: so it's just a piece of the puzzle and then
• 18:52
  Speaker 11: just making them play on the ball. So it's a
• 18:53
  Speaker 11: little different do you believe you're finally standing here?
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: It's crazy. Every time I walk out here, I'll be like, man,
• 18:58
  Speaker 11: I'm really here.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: It's a journk come true for sure.
