- 1:15Speaker 2: Are you? Are you trying to grow beerd like me?
- 1:17Speaker 3: I'm trying to grow up and be like Jeff loggam
- 1:19Speaker 3: look in so many Well you're looking good, thanks man.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Like I trimmed it up.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I like it.
- 1:23Speaker 3: I was looking a little grizzly for a while, but
- 1:26Speaker 3: I decided, you know what, I'm gonna keep it.
- 1:28Speaker 2: I like it.
- 1:29Speaker 3: It shows a little of my experience. Shave the crop groom,
- 1:33Speaker 3: you know, ain't shave of the top. I mean it
- 1:36Speaker 3: might ever come back if I do that, if I
- 1:39Speaker 3: use the bitrazor, no chance.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Back to word.
- 1:41Speaker 3: We're back, baby, back to camp. It's like it's yeah,
- 1:46Speaker 3: it's been good. First two days of camp. Ramp up
- 1:48Speaker 3: period a little like an hour. You weren't here the
- 1:50Speaker 3: first day, but about an hour or so. Then they
- 1:53Speaker 3: went up to about an hour and twenty minutes today
- 1:55Speaker 3: and they keep doing that.
- 1:56Speaker 2: The first four say, I'm a little jealous. You are.
- 2:00Speaker 3: We always talk about it the old days. Yeah, I mean,
- 2:03Speaker 3: you know, I'm not. I don't ever want to be
- 2:04Speaker 3: one of those guys, but you.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Know, you always know.
- 2:08Speaker 3: But I mean seriously, like, you know, me and Boselli
- 2:11Speaker 3: used to have these discussions all the time, and he
- 2:13Speaker 3: he's like.
- 2:14Speaker 2: I can't believe how easy they got it now.
- 2:16Speaker 3: And I used to always say that it should have
- 2:18Speaker 3: been like this twenty years ago. I mean it really
- 2:21Speaker 3: should have been. I mean it would have been fantastic.
- 2:23Speaker 3: It would had I think, lasting effects on your long
- 2:27Speaker 3: term health. It would have made the career longer, possibly
- 2:31Speaker 3: would have made for I think, less injuries because of
- 2:34Speaker 3: the wear and tear that can happen through.
- 2:36Speaker 2: The old rules.
- 2:37Speaker 3: But I like the way it is set up. I'm
- 2:39Speaker 3: not one of these old guys that goes all these
- 2:41Speaker 3: guys should have two days and full pads every day. No,
- 2:46Speaker 3: you just wish you had, this is what you're saying.
- 2:48Speaker 3: I just think this is this is what is best
- 2:51Speaker 3: for the game. I really do. I really believe that
- 2:53Speaker 3: this is best for the game. And I look forward
- 2:56Speaker 3: to watching this team progress to the point of pads,
- 3:00Speaker 3: just because from an analyst standpoint, that's where you really
- 3:03Speaker 3: kind of get the nuts and bolts of your evaluation
- 3:06Speaker 3: is when they go to pads and you can really
- 3:08Speaker 3: see what the big guys can do. Because right now
- 3:12Speaker 3: I can't tell you anything about any of the big guys.
- 3:15Speaker 2: They all look good.
- 3:16Speaker 3: You can see a little bit of the timing with
- 3:18Speaker 3: wide receivers at quarterbacks thing.
- 3:20Speaker 2: You know that all can change too all of.
- 3:22Speaker 3: A sudden, defensive backs have pads on and they're making
- 3:25Speaker 3: contact with you in your route. It changes the timing
- 3:28Speaker 3: and just a little teaser will get it to all
- 3:31Speaker 3: this along those lines because you can really evaluate the
- 3:35Speaker 3: skill position players. I thought that Trevor Lawrence might have
- 3:39Speaker 3: had one of his best days yet of the twenty
- 3:42Speaker 3: twenty five offseason into training camp so far today. I
- 3:46Speaker 3: thought he had a really solid day. I thought he
- 3:48Speaker 3: had command of the offense. He looks really good physically.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I guess he got an eighty five out of one
- 3:55Speaker 3: hundred on his test. You know, let's hear from him
- 3:57Speaker 3: on that, because he was asked yesterday, first day of
- 4:01Speaker 3: camp about the offseason coming back to camp, and let's
- 4:06Speaker 3: call it a B so far after the test.
- 4:10Speaker 4: Common, No, it's not common.
- 4:12Speaker 2: It was.
- 4:13Speaker 4: It was pretty difficult, and not all the questions some
- 4:15Speaker 4: of them were some layups, but I mean, yes, there
- 4:18Speaker 4: were some good There were some good questions and there's
- 4:20Speaker 4: some tough ones that kind of got us back, get
- 4:23Speaker 4: us back going for camp and get the mines going,
- 4:24Speaker 4: and you know, all this stuff you have to do
- 4:25Speaker 4: as a quarterback it was good to kind of encompassed
- 4:27Speaker 4: our whole offense and whether it's scheme protections, it was
- 4:32Speaker 4: a lot of stuff that was good to do as
- 4:34Speaker 4: like one of our first days back to kind of
- 4:35Speaker 4: make sure we're ready to go. And we've been looking
- 4:37Speaker 4: over our stuff this offseason.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I think you said was an eighty five.
- 4:40Speaker 3: So that's a strong B, which means there's reute. There's
- 4:45Speaker 3: no such thing as a strong B. Oh you A
- 4:48Speaker 3: strong B would be a B plus. Okay, it's just
- 4:51Speaker 3: a B, okay, right, I mean eighty five is a B.
- 4:56Speaker 3: It's a solid B. Right, but it means there's room
- 4:59Speaker 3: to improve. Now, I give you a whole lot.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I like that idea.
- 5:02Speaker 3: I mean, look, get the player back into the mindset
- 5:05Speaker 3: of hey, look, you know what did you do while
- 5:08Speaker 3: you were away?
- 5:08Speaker 2: Did you study? Did you hone in?
- 5:10Speaker 3: Did you take a playbook with each of the Bahamas
- 5:13Speaker 3: besides just you know, throwing the ball around with some
- 5:16Speaker 3: of the guys a little bit on the side. I mean,
- 5:18Speaker 3: so I like it. I mean it's I think we
- 5:20Speaker 3: need to do like preseason training in the Bahamas. It's
- 5:23Speaker 3: like we just go, let's just go. We'll have like
- 5:26Speaker 3: two coconuts and pretend they're microphones and we can practice broadcast.
- 5:30Speaker 3: We can work on the intro, and then we can
- 5:32Speaker 3: cut the coconuts in half and had a little bit
- 5:34Speaker 3: of run to it on the inside, and then we're golden.
- 5:36Speaker 2: It sounds like a plan.
- 5:37Speaker 3: The broadcast will get better because we drank the coconut.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Yeah we might not we did it, but whatever now.
- 5:42Speaker 2: But I like that. Physically, he looks great.
- 5:46Speaker 3: I mean, I think he's as big as I've ever
- 5:50Speaker 3: seen him, but it's it's all in the right place.
- 5:53Speaker 3: As big, you know, he looks in great shape, So
- 5:55Speaker 3: I'm excited for him. Along those lines with the seven
- 5:58Speaker 3: on seven stuff that we were talking about, there were
- 6:00Speaker 3: a couple defensive backs, and the defensive back room as
- 6:03Speaker 3: a whole, I thought, had a very good day. And
- 6:05Speaker 3: people what might ask, well, how can Trevor have a
- 6:08Speaker 3: good day, and then the defensive backs have a good day. Well,
- 6:12Speaker 3: last time I checked, there's a few quarterbacks on the roster.
- 6:15Speaker 3: In fact, there's one, two, three, four, so it's not
- 6:19Speaker 3: all on Trevor if the dbs make a play, So defensive.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Backs had a good day as well. I like the
- 6:25Speaker 2: ramp up period.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I think it's great and I'm looking forward to the
- 6:28Speaker 3: pad though, because I really believe that that's where this
- 6:33Speaker 3: offense needs to take a huge step forward.
- 6:36Speaker 2: It's with the big guys up front.
- 6:37Speaker 3: We'll get to a little more of the offense coming up,
- 6:40Speaker 3: certainly the defense and the DB's day today they had
- 6:43Speaker 3: a good one. That's a little bit later. We're on
- 6:45Speaker 3: ten Jenxcel ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com
- 6:48Speaker 3: and Jaguars YouTube. It is Jaguars Happy Hour. We are
- 6:51Speaker 3: back for training camp and PRI Production is the official

- 7:03Speaker 4: J P.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Shadwick, Jeff Lockman.
- 7:06Speaker 3: Well, the other big story of training camp so far
- 7:09Speaker 3: is Travis Hunter, wide receiver defensive back.
- 7:12Speaker 2: You might have heard of, who the number two overall pick.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Of course, he's been working at wide receivers so far
- 7:19Speaker 3: on offense and then during special teams. He's been going
- 7:23Speaker 3: to the other field and going through some walk through
- 7:26Speaker 3: things with defensive coaches and not wasting a minute of
- 7:30Speaker 3: practice at all. Typically, for example, going back to most
- 7:35Speaker 3: rookies when they come in, okay, they really limit the focus,
- 7:40Speaker 3: to allow the rookie to put on blinders, to concentrate
- 7:43Speaker 3: on singular purposes, singular jobs.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Okay, but Travis Hunter obviously that's not the case.
- 7:50Speaker 3: But they want to allow him to focus on offense
- 7:55Speaker 3: in particular because I think it requires a little bit
- 7:58Speaker 3: more timing, understanding of the scheme, the verbiage that's that
- 8:03Speaker 3: that takes a lot more than on the defensive side
- 8:06Speaker 3: of the ball. So I think there will be a
- 8:09Speaker 3: lean towards the offensive side of the ball as far
- 8:11Speaker 3: as the number of practices go, if you actually calculated
- 8:14Speaker 3: them up at the end of the year. But during
- 8:16Speaker 3: the course of practice like today, Travis Hunter is working
- 8:20Speaker 3: with the wide receivers and then during special teams drill.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Some wide receivers have to play special teams. Yes, okay,
- 8:27Speaker 3: some of them do. Parker Washington is going to be
- 8:30Speaker 3: a special teams player. Other guys can be gunners and
- 8:32Speaker 3: get down there. You know, Tim was a guy that
- 8:35Speaker 3: was here last couple of years that was a wide receiver,
- 8:38Speaker 3: played a lot on special team Jones.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Tim Jones was a core special teams player.
- 8:43Speaker 3: A lot of the wide receivers gonna are gonna have
- 8:45Speaker 3: to be that Travis Hunter is not in that category.
- 8:48Speaker 2: No, so every time.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Would be the ultimate sixty minute man. I mean, yeah,
- 8:55Speaker 3: we don't need to try that. He could probably do
- 8:58Speaker 3: it though, I mean, I wouldn't put anything past them.
- 9:02Speaker 3: But when they go to those special teams periods, which
- 9:04Speaker 3: I think they have about three of them during the
- 9:06Speaker 3: course of a practice, mean you broadcast the practice that
- 9:09Speaker 3: you remember, it's like three, right.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Three big periods and practice.
- 9:13Speaker 3: So when those three special teams periods are in, Travis
- 9:17Speaker 3: Hunter is over there with Campanella, the defensive coordinator and
- 9:20Speaker 3: the defensive backs coach, and they're going over scheme and techniques.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Now they're not asking him to do backpedal drills or
- 9:28Speaker 3: anything like that, because look, you know, you want to
- 9:30Speaker 3: make sure that you limit the the miles on the body,
- 9:34Speaker 3: just like any other player in training camp, but at
- 9:36Speaker 3: least taking him through the mental aspects of a practice
- 9:40Speaker 3: so that he has it all on his mind fresh.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Now.
- 9:45Speaker 3: I'm here to tell you JP, I'm not saying the
- 9:46Speaker 3: football is rocket size, because it's not. Okay, But I
- 9:50Speaker 3: played on the easier side of the football to learn,
- 9:53Speaker 3: which is defense. You said that, not me, And I've
- 9:56Speaker 3: heard that some of the verbiage, okay, and Liam Cones
- 9:59Speaker 3: all fence is a little thorough okay, like like really thorough, Yeah,
- 10:06Speaker 3: pretty thorough. Okay, it's it's Spider two white Banana like. Uh,
- 10:11Speaker 3: it's all kind of that story, all kinds of things,
- 10:13Speaker 3: all kinds of things. There's a lot of emotion shifts
- 10:17Speaker 3: adjustments with yeah, exactly. So. Uh you know, so with Travis,
- 10:23Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a lot to learn, got a
- 10:25Speaker 3: lot to learn. He is h he's gonna have to
- 10:29Speaker 3: be spending some time when he's not on the field
- 10:33Speaker 3: or or in the facility. He's gonna have to he's
- 10:36Speaker 3: gonna have to sleep with his playbook, he really is.
- 10:38Speaker 3: I mean that's not going to be easy for him.
- 10:41Speaker 3: And I thought he had a good day today.
- 10:43Speaker 2: You know, during the.
- 10:45Speaker 3: The ot as, just watching him, he was, he was
- 10:48Speaker 3: doing it, and he's an individual period, he was you know,
- 10:50Speaker 3: one hundred percent, one hundred miles an hour. And then
- 10:53Speaker 3: when he got the team, you could tell that there
- 10:55Speaker 3: was just sometimes a little bit of hesitancy in the
- 10:57Speaker 3: OTAs because you're still trying to figure out what you're
- 11:01Speaker 3: supposed to do. And I think today there were moments
- 11:06Speaker 3: where he was a little bit hesitant, but there was
- 11:08Speaker 3: one play in particular, you might remember it. I think
- 11:12Speaker 3: Trevor hits him on a checkdown and it was at
- 11:15Speaker 3: about ten twelve yards down the field, and then all
- 11:19Speaker 3: of a sudden, then you saw the talent take over
- 11:22Speaker 3: because as soon as he made the catch, he turned
- 11:24Speaker 3: up field and then it was another gear and was
- 11:28Speaker 3: just running away from everybody else, and it was just like, Okay,
- 11:32Speaker 3: that's the guy that you know you've watched on film
- 11:35Speaker 3: at Colorado and he's playing fast.
- 11:38Speaker 2: That was good to see.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Let's hear from the head coach, Liam Cohen earlier this
- 11:43Speaker 3: week yesterday in fact, asked about the balance of time
- 11:46Speaker 3: for Travis Hunter, as we said, the first couple of
- 11:48Speaker 3: days on offense could flip that over in the next
- 11:51Speaker 3: few days to defense. Mainly that could change his camp
- 11:54Speaker 3: goes along and beyond, according to the head coach.
- 11:58Speaker 5: A span where maybe he practiced on offense. Let's call
- 12:02Speaker 5: it a Thursday, because we didn't do anything on the
- 12:04Speaker 5: Fridays and then he had Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then
- 12:07Speaker 5: Monday he was on defense. That's like four days without
- 12:09Speaker 5: doing anything on offense. Well, we learned that that was
- 12:12Speaker 5: too long, right, that's too long to kind of go
- 12:15Speaker 5: without doing anything on maybe the other side of the ball.
- 12:18Speaker 5: So we learned something there. And we also within these
- 12:22Speaker 5: blocks where we're kind of three days on with an
- 12:24Speaker 5: off day, it allows us to map it out maybe
- 12:26Speaker 5: a little bit cleaner and give him more opportunities. But
- 12:30Speaker 5: every single day that he is on one side of
- 12:33Speaker 5: the ball, he will meet with the other side of
- 12:36Speaker 5: the ball at least once, maybe twice as well, So
- 12:41Speaker 5: trying to not let that happen where he goes offense, offense,
- 12:45Speaker 5: then practice on defense. But he hasn't heard a single
- 12:47Speaker 5: thing on the defensive side of the ball in two days.
- 12:49Speaker 5: So we absolutely learned and I could see it continue
- 12:53Speaker 5: to evolve this training camp.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the approach from the head coach.
- 12:56Speaker 3: And with that approach, there is no room or anything
- 13:00Speaker 3: except locked in vision from that player. I mean, there's
- 13:05Speaker 3: you cannot have any distractions at all. It's got to
- 13:07Speaker 3: be all ball all the time. Well, and I like
- 13:10Speaker 3: listening to Liam Cone talk about the process because you
- 13:14Speaker 3: kind of admitted there that, look, we tried something, okay,
- 13:17Speaker 3: we felt like we needed to improve upon it, and
- 13:20Speaker 3: they took action to change it.
- 13:23Speaker 2: And when the whole I think.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Plan that was announced initially with Travis Hunter included the
- 13:33Speaker 3: words fluid and he's exactly right, and that's and that's
- 13:38Speaker 3: good that they see something, they see the results, they
- 13:44Speaker 3: maybe say let's tweak it a little bit and let's
- 13:47Speaker 3: change it to make it better.
- 13:48Speaker 2: And I like that.
- 13:49Speaker 3: And from the very get go they said that it's
- 13:52Speaker 3: kind of a work in progress and it probably will
- 13:54Speaker 3: remain a work in progress throughout the course of the year.
- 13:58Speaker 3: You know, I think you just you know, let's old
- 14:00Speaker 3: term adapt and adjust, and I think that that's gonna
- 14:03Speaker 3: be I think the philosophy throughout the year with Travis
- 14:07Speaker 3: and because you know, look, nobody's ever done this before.
- 14:11Speaker 3: There's not a roadmap that hey, you know, Joe Smith
- 14:14Speaker 3: did it last year, so let's just do what Joe
- 14:17Speaker 3: Smith did. Well, there's no Joe Smith, and he's probably
- 14:20Speaker 3: not as good. If there was, probably not they didn't trade.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Up to number two.
- 14:26Speaker 3: You know. Again, it's such a curiosity, a point that
- 14:29Speaker 3: I think everybody around the league that's big fans of
- 14:33Speaker 3: the league are going to follow. And you know, look
- 14:36Speaker 3: in Jacksonville, we're gonna have a front row seat to it,
- 14:38Speaker 3: and I'm excited to see it. I'm excited to see it.
- 14:41Speaker 3: And you know, the one thing that you want to
- 14:42Speaker 3: make sure that there's an old saying, right, jack of
- 14:45Speaker 3: all trades, master of none. You want to make sure
- 14:48Speaker 3: that you can get the preparation for Travis that he
- 14:53Speaker 3: is a master of two okay, offense and defense and
- 14:58Speaker 3: not just a jack of trades ma master of not.
- 15:01Speaker 2: It was the last time you went jogging, Jeff?
- 15:04Speaker 3: Uh, It's probably been a minute twenty years ago.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, I don't know. This body does not jog. Okay.

- 17:08Speaker 3: Studios on tenttin xl AM, ninety two point five FM,
- 17:12Speaker 3: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars.
- 17:14Speaker 2: YouTube, all the places.
- 17:16Speaker 3: As we begin twenty twenty five training camp at the
- 17:19Speaker 3: Miller Electric Center. Glad you're with us on Jaguars Happy
- 17:22Speaker 3: Hour presented by Heritage of North Florida, Jacksonville's premier roofing
- 17:26Speaker 3: and remodeling company. That leads us into defensive talk, You said, okay, yeah,
- 17:31Speaker 3: the line you're not gonna get a great look at
- 17:34Speaker 3: early in camp because no pads are on. But as
- 17:38Speaker 3: we mentioned earlier, the back end of the defense actually
- 17:42Speaker 3: had some place today, a lot of deflected balls, couple interceptions.
- 17:46Speaker 3: Ran saw the rookie draft pick made a nice play
- 17:49Speaker 3: along the sideline.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Antonio Johnson had an interception at one point.
- 17:54Speaker 3: So they seemed active today on the back end, and
- 17:57Speaker 3: they're a long way from finding whatever solution they are
- 18:00Speaker 3: going to have for his starting lineup. Ransall the play
- 18:02Speaker 3: that he made. It literally we thought it was going
- 18:05Speaker 3: to be a completion, and then Ransall immediately just punches
- 18:09Speaker 3: that ball out. Great great ball awareness by the young
- 18:13Speaker 3: rookie and Antonio Johnson, great anticipation, jumps the ball, makes
- 18:18Speaker 3: an interception, you know, and he's a guy that last
- 18:22Speaker 3: year we were incredibly excited for.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I thought that he was going to be.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Able to take a big jump from year one to
- 18:29Speaker 3: year two, just because his athleticism I think is in
- 18:33Speaker 3: size and his versatility I think is unmatched. I mean
- 18:39Speaker 3: it's and last year just turned into a tough year
- 18:42Speaker 3: for him, and so I hope they get him dialed
- 18:46Speaker 3: back in because I really believe that he's got some skills,
- 18:49Speaker 3: especially ball skills. So but the back end of the defense,
- 18:53Speaker 3: I mean, if you're looking at this football team from
- 18:56Speaker 3: an improvement standpoint, that position group defensive backfield might be
- 19:02Speaker 3: the most improved overall. They did the most paper, you know,
- 19:07Speaker 3: on paper, most changes. Well, you know, you participated in
- 19:10Speaker 3: free agency with safety position to corner position, and then
- 19:14Speaker 3: you utilize some draft capital.
- 19:17Speaker 2: At that position group.
- 19:19Speaker 3: So you know, so when you invest in it, and
- 19:23Speaker 3: we'll have James Gladstone in here to talk about that.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Here, we're going to get some answers out of here
- 19:28Speaker 2: are some answers. You can't hide it anymore.
- 19:30Speaker 3: When you invest in a position, you want some return
- 19:33Speaker 3: and I think that this team is going to see
- 19:35Speaker 3: some returns at that position.
- 19:38Speaker 2: It seems that way so far.
- 19:41Speaker 3: By the way, yes, not just a couple other guys
- 19:44Speaker 3: to highlight there in the very last period, and I'll
- 19:50Speaker 3: go to two plays to BTJ Brian Thomas Junior, who,
- 19:53Speaker 3: by the way, is so fast and runs so hard
- 19:58Speaker 3: and practices full speed, which is super impressive. There was
- 20:03Speaker 3: a last period they throw a deep ball and Trevor
- 20:06Speaker 3: just launched it, I mean launched it.
- 20:08Speaker 2: And right between the hashmarks deep down the field.
- 20:11Speaker 3: I mean it was like, hold your breath, this is
- 20:14Speaker 3: this is gonna be it. And DeAndre Prince makes a
- 20:19Speaker 3: great play and breaks it up. And it was a
- 20:23Speaker 3: play that you thought for sure it was a guaranteed
- 20:26Speaker 3: home run. BTJ is not going to drop it. Credit
- 20:29Speaker 3: DeAndre Prince. Heck of a play. Another one down the
- 20:33Speaker 3: boundary that Trevor threw, and it wasn't a great throw
- 20:37Speaker 3: by Trevor. He's got to give his wide receiver a
- 20:39Speaker 3: little bit better chance because it went out of bounds.
- 20:42Speaker 3: But it was to Brian Thomas Junior as well, and
- 20:44Speaker 3: Tyson Campbell was right in the pocket of BTJ, so
- 20:50Speaker 3: defense a back strong day. And again I'm going back
- 20:53Speaker 3: to what I said, you know when when this team
- 20:55Speaker 3: played the Green Bay Packers, and you watched the Green
- 20:58Speaker 3: Bay Packers leading up to the game my film study,
- 21:02Speaker 3: it was one of the most disciplined, hard playing defenses
- 21:09Speaker 3: in all the National Football League that I saw in
- 21:10Speaker 3: film last year. So if Campanelli can bring some of
- 21:14Speaker 3: that to this football team this year, then compared to
- 21:18Speaker 3: where we were last year, it'll be a monumentous jump.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis making some plays too, now, your defensive back,
- 21:26Speaker 3: cornerback from Michigan. Yeah, and he's you know, and it's
- 21:31Speaker 3: a three cornerback league, yes, And as of today picked
- 21:36Speaker 3: the three corners Tyson Lewis and then Travis Hunter. You know,
- 21:43Speaker 3: you've got other guys that are working in there. Look,
- 21:45Speaker 3: Jari and Jones had a good year last year as
- 21:47Speaker 3: a rookie. He's got some size, he's physical. I think
- 21:51Speaker 3: he's going to be in the mix, you know, depending
- 21:53Speaker 3: on where Travis Hunter is at. I think Trey Prince
- 21:56Speaker 3: is a guy that has a really strong skill set
- 22:00Speaker 3: for man. What will this team look like will be
- 22:04Speaker 3: more man than zone or more zone than man.
- 22:06Speaker 2: What you do Monteric Brown. What do you do with him?
- 22:10Speaker 2: I like him.
- 22:11Speaker 3: I think I thought that last year he might have
- 22:14Speaker 3: been the best corner on this roster last year, right
- 22:17Speaker 3: better than Tyson because Tyson was a little nicked up
- 22:19Speaker 3: here and there.
- 22:21Speaker 2: So I think he's right in the mix too.
- 22:23Speaker 3: I mean, those are the things that you've kind of
- 22:26Speaker 3: as a if you're a coach or if you're a
- 22:30Speaker 3: general manager. And here we are talking about, oh yeah,
- 22:33Speaker 3: we forgot Monterrey Brown. Well you got some options, and
- 22:40Speaker 3: the options also interpret or lead you to the conversation
- 22:44Speaker 3: about competition, and competition is what makes people get better.
- 22:49Speaker 3: It's what makes position groups elevate their level of play,
- 22:53Speaker 3: and that's what.
- 22:53Speaker 2: You're looking for.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Jack Wars Happy Hours, a p shatick with Jeff Flagman.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Let's continue on defense at the linebacker position, and.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Everybody kind of looks at that.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Big numbers zero that's out there in the white jersey
- 23:11Speaker 3: on the defensive side and practice. Devin Lloyd, year number four,
- 23:16Speaker 3: former first round pick, has been inconsistent so far. What
- 23:22Speaker 3: does this defense do for him? I think it's a
- 23:25Speaker 3: question we still have to have answered over the coming
- 23:27Speaker 3: weeks of training camp and that's and that's a it's
- 23:30Speaker 3: an interesting question, and I don't know if I can
- 23:32Speaker 3: answer that, because I think time will tell on that.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Because Devin Lloyd last year I thought had some struggles.
- 23:41Speaker 3: He got bigger. This year he's back to be in lean.
- 23:45Speaker 3: Looks like he can run better, which in this defense,
- 23:49Speaker 3: you've got to be able to run.
- 23:50Speaker 2: It seems like a theme for the entire group last year.
- 23:52Speaker 2: By the way, everybody was bigger, yeah, and kind of
- 23:56Speaker 2: got carried away with it. You know.
- 23:57Speaker 3: It was like, Okay, everybody wants to get bigger, faster, stronger,
- 24:01Speaker 3: but let's remember, let's get bigger, faster, stronger, but still
- 24:06Speaker 3: be able to play sixty five snaps at the same
- 24:09Speaker 3: speed and Travis Hunter's case, maybe one hundred and twenty snaps, okay,
- 24:16Speaker 3: which is mind boggling. But you know, before we talk
- 24:22Speaker 3: about Devin, I think you got to go and talk
- 24:24Speaker 3: about Foya Lucan because I still can't believe that they
- 24:29Speaker 3: moved to the will position last year. And I'm going
- 24:31Speaker 3: to keep saying that and for the next decade or more.
- 24:36Speaker 3: It was one of the dumbest moves in all of football.
- 24:39Speaker 3: I had missed a snap in like four years and
- 24:43Speaker 3: outside he's got to come off the field.
- 24:45Speaker 2: And I get it. I can, and that's a whole
- 24:47Speaker 2: nother decision.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Yeah, you're going to take the NFL's leading tackler over
- 24:53Speaker 3: the last four or five years how long it was,
- 24:56Speaker 3: and you're going to move him to the will position.
- 25:01Speaker 2: It was like, why are we doing that again?
- 25:03Speaker 3: Now he's back to normal, right, He's back to the
- 25:05Speaker 3: mic position where he's comfortable at it. And I had
- 25:08Speaker 3: a talked with him for about ten to fifteen minutes
- 25:11Speaker 3: today and he's one of my favorite players because he's committed,
- 25:16Speaker 3: He prepares, he studies, he is he's one of those
- 25:21Speaker 3: guys that you can always count on. And in this game,
- 25:25Speaker 3: if you don't have the word dependability attached to you,
- 25:31Speaker 3: it's tough, right, I mean, this is one of those
- 25:33Speaker 3: games where that's got to be kind of the first
- 25:35Speaker 3: thing that goes to your name plate. Dependability. And having
- 25:41Speaker 3: Foyer move back to the mic position. Having Foy healthy again.
- 25:46Speaker 3: He had some rist issues, some core issues that he
- 25:49Speaker 3: dealt with, and he said that I feel as good
- 25:52Speaker 3: as I ever have in a long time, and so
- 25:54Speaker 3: to have that that's outstanding. Had a foot issue last year,
- 25:57Speaker 3: if you've remember back early in camp kind of slowed
- 26:00Speaker 3: him up. So having him back at where he belongs
- 26:05Speaker 3: where he never should have been moved from, having him
- 26:08Speaker 3: back healthy again and in the leadership role of the
- 26:11Speaker 3: defense because I think he is a front of the
- 26:14Speaker 3: huddle guy by far the number one guy that needs
- 26:17Speaker 3: to be there, and that will help Devon is the
- 26:21Speaker 3: stability of having the MIC position squared away with Foyer,
- 26:24Speaker 3: and that will obviously filter down to everybody else. But look,
- 26:28Speaker 3: there's going to be some position battles going on there
- 26:32Speaker 3: at the other position. I think Foy aer guy at
- 26:34Speaker 3: the MIC. He drafted a kid from Notre Dame, Jack Kaiser,
- 26:38Speaker 3: who's going to compete in there for that position.
- 26:42Speaker 2: With Devin Lloyd.
- 26:43Speaker 3: And so that to me is going to be a
- 26:46Speaker 3: fun position to watch to see where that ends up.
- 26:50Speaker 2: At the very least, I think you're.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Going to get a better version of Devin Lloyd than
- 26:54Speaker 3: what we saw last year, which is very encouraging for
- 26:57Speaker 3: this team. Putting ahead, we will come back in a moment.
- 27:02Speaker 3: We've got to get in the running back room. Speaking
- 27:04Speaker 3: of competitions, that that's probably the offensive version to the
- 27:09Speaker 3: defensive backs. You know that we talk about competition and
- 27:14Speaker 3: depth at that defensive back position, which I say corner safety,
- 27:20Speaker 3: nickel all lump together in that, but the running back
- 27:23Speaker 3: position might be that version on offense. We'll dig into
- 27:26Speaker 3: it when we return and from the backyard to the beaches.

- 27:56Speaker 2: Welcome back. Jaguars Happy Hour continues j P.
- 27:59Speaker 3: Shadwick with Jeff them in the opening show of the
- 28:01Speaker 3: twenty twenty five campaign from the Hyundai Studios at the

- 28:08Speaker 3: point five FM, Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Glad you're with us.
- 28:13Speaker 3: And coming up at five o'clock a little under thirty
- 28:16Speaker 3: minutes away. It's the first Liam Cohen show to the season,
- 28:21Speaker 3: but Liam Cohen will not be with us.
- 28:23Speaker 2: He'll be with us at the start of the regular season.
- 28:26Speaker 3: It'll be Tony Boselli who you might have heard of,
- 28:28Speaker 3: and James Gladstone, who's been busy this offseason. They'll both
- 28:32Speaker 3: join us at the same time at five o'clock on
- 28:35Speaker 3: the Liam Cohen Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 28:38Speaker 2: That's good, that's great, It's gonna be fantastic.
- 28:41Speaker 3: We'll let them suck all the air out of the
- 28:44Speaker 3: room and talk.
- 28:46Speaker 2: That'd be great. I'll just be right here to throw
- 28:48Speaker 2: it to break whenever it's time. For sure. Now I'm
- 28:51Speaker 2: excited because you know what he is.
- 28:53Speaker 3: I got questions for both of them, obviously, but as
- 28:57Speaker 3: a general manager, once you get to this point, a
- 29:01Speaker 3: lot of times people think, well, the general manager's job
- 29:05Speaker 3: is done. Okay, there's your roster, go ahead and now coach.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Them up and win football games.
- 29:11Speaker 3: I think I want to delve into, now what you
- 29:15Speaker 3: know for James Gladstone, you know, and also I would
- 29:19Speaker 3: love to hear what he has to say about the
- 29:23Speaker 3: cap situation for this team, because the health of the
- 29:26Speaker 3: cap at this moment and the ability to add to
- 29:32Speaker 3: this roster maybe, but then also in the years of
- 29:36Speaker 3: head what is the outlook on that, because sometimes that's
- 29:39Speaker 3: not really at the forefront of people's minds. When a
- 29:42Speaker 3: team is not winning, they just want to know how
- 29:45Speaker 3: can we get better players? But in order to get
- 29:48Speaker 3: better players, you've got to have a healthy cap. So
- 29:50Speaker 3: I think that'll be a great conversation. It's coming up
- 29:52Speaker 3: five o'clock on the Liam Cohen's Show on the Jaguars
- 29:56Speaker 3: Radio Network.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Well let's get into it.
- 29:58Speaker 3: On the offensive side, the running back room is of interests.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Here are the five that are on the roster. Travis
- 30:05Speaker 2: Etn Jr.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Fifth year Tank Bigsby, third year base shul Teuton rookie,
- 30:11Speaker 3: Laquin Allen Jr. Out of Syracuse, a rookie, and Jackquindon Jackson,
- 30:15Speaker 3: a rookie out of Arkansas. Five running backs on the roster,
- 30:19Speaker 3: and this should be an interesting watch over the next month.
- 30:22Speaker 2: I think it really will be.
- 30:23Speaker 3: And Jackson's a big dude, and don't count him out
- 30:26Speaker 3: because he's not really one that's I think gets a
- 30:30Speaker 3: lot of conversation because he's undrafted, he's never been around,
- 30:36Speaker 3: you know, and you've got two draft picks ahead of him,
- 30:39Speaker 3: and with Tuton and Laquinn Allen, I think this might
- 30:43Speaker 3: be the most interesting watch in all of camp. And
- 30:48Speaker 3: I think it was you that posed the question to
- 30:50Speaker 3: me today that so, who's your running back? Yeah, you know,
- 30:55Speaker 3: what's your running who's your running backs on game day?
- 30:57Speaker 4: Right?
- 30:58Speaker 3: And my answer to that is that, you know, how
- 31:01Speaker 3: do you make that decision based on where we are
- 31:03Speaker 3: right now?
- 31:04Speaker 2: Which is hard?
- 31:06Speaker 3: But then also I think all of these guys have
- 31:08Speaker 3: a skill set that's going to help this football team.
- 31:11Speaker 3: And when you have a lot of guys in the room,
- 31:13Speaker 3: which is by the way, that this might be the
- 31:15Speaker 3: healthiest this room has been. And I'm not talking about
- 31:19Speaker 3: top end like going back to the Fred Taylor Morey
- 31:21Speaker 3: Shones junior days, because that was special. But overall, the
- 31:26Speaker 3: depth in this room I think is spectacular and it's
- 31:30Speaker 3: I think it's been neglected over the last number of years,
- 31:33Speaker 3: and right now I think it's a real positive for
- 31:36Speaker 3: this football team. And when you get to that point,
- 31:38Speaker 3: much like the Bucks were, and you know last year,
- 31:42Speaker 3: you've got a couple of running backs that you feel
- 31:44Speaker 3: good about. Who's got the hot hand. You know, when
- 31:47Speaker 3: you get a hot hand and you just roll with it.
- 31:50Speaker 2: You know.
- 31:51Speaker 3: The interesting thing too, to about this conversation is that
- 31:55Speaker 3: sometimes running backs have the ability to be special teams
- 31:58Speaker 3: contributors who can do that role. Le Quinn Allen, I
- 32:02Speaker 3: think is gonna have to do some of that because
- 32:04Speaker 3: I think his focus is going to be on being
- 32:07Speaker 3: a third down back and a special teamer. Bacial Touton,
- 32:10Speaker 3: I think is a guy that can tote the rock
- 32:12Speaker 3: and carry the load, and the same thing goes for
- 32:14Speaker 3: Etn and Tank Bigsby. Tank Bigsby had a move today.
- 32:19Speaker 3: He came through, broke through the line, safety coming up
- 32:21Speaker 3: on him and obviously it's no pads, nobody gonna hit anybody,
- 32:24Speaker 3: you know, but the defenders trying to square up on him.
- 32:27Speaker 3: I mean he made that guy go five yards to
- 32:30Speaker 3: the right as he cut to the left. I mean
- 32:33Speaker 3: it was a beautiful cut. And Tank Bigsby tooting. Both
- 32:38Speaker 3: of these guys. Though, if you go back to our
- 32:41Speaker 3: broadcast of the practice, we were announcing to the fans
- 32:45Speaker 3: right out of the gate, what was.
- 32:46Speaker 2: The first period?
- 32:48Speaker 3: Ball security's real, and that's got to be a point
- 32:52Speaker 3: of emphasis because no team is gonna win if they
- 32:54Speaker 3: turn the ball over. A Ton got two running backs
- 32:57Speaker 3: in that room with Tank Bigsby and and obviously Tuton
- 33:02Speaker 3: in college, but Bigsby here got to hold onto the
- 33:06Speaker 3: rock and ball security has got to be an absolute
- 33:10Speaker 3: premiere point with both of.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Those guys, Travis et and Jr.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Is going into year number five is a rookie contract
- 33:18Speaker 3: that you got the fifth year option, Well, how would
- 33:21Speaker 3: you grade his career up to this point? Who picked
- 33:23Speaker 3: up the fifth year option? That would have been last
- 33:28Speaker 3: off season, right, that's right?
- 33:29Speaker 2: Okay?
- 33:30Speaker 3: And so you have a new staff, you know, new
- 33:33Speaker 3: draft picks, and you know, new competition, fresh fresh slate
- 33:38Speaker 3: for everybody. So that's going to be an interesting watch.
- 33:43Speaker 3: How would your greatest career so far? I think he's
- 33:45Speaker 3: been solid, but he's been hurt a little bit. And
- 33:48Speaker 3: that's Look, when you're a lot, I mean, miss this
- 33:50Speaker 3: whole rookie year. I mean, when you're hurt that much,
- 33:52Speaker 3: I mean it's very difficult. But you know, here's the reality.
- 33:55Speaker 3: The fifth year option on a running back is not
- 33:59Speaker 3: incredibly hoigh. I don't think six and a half millions, yeah,
- 34:02Speaker 3: I mean okay, I mean that's not fifteen million like
- 34:05Speaker 3: uh Cook wants in Buffalo. He's different as differ kind
- 34:09Speaker 3: of way as his contract is. Yeah, absolutely, but uh yeah,
- 34:13Speaker 3: he's got to stay healthy. And here's the reality. In
- 34:17Speaker 3: the past, if you had an injury to Etn who's
- 34:23Speaker 3: up next? Well, I mean before Bigsby, you really didn't
- 34:27Speaker 3: have any options by committee. And now you've got Bigsby,
- 34:31Speaker 3: But now you also have two other guys that are
- 34:33Speaker 3: pretty good. And and I say two other guys, I
- 34:36Speaker 3: look out again. I don't want to count out Jackson
- 34:39Speaker 3: because he's in the mix as well, and he's a
- 34:42Speaker 3: big dude six two, two thirty three to Quindon Jackson
- 34:45Speaker 3: and he's he's all a two thirty whatever. I don't
- 34:48Speaker 3: want to be in his way. I mean, it's noticeable.
- 34:51Speaker 3: I want to see that guy tote the rock when
- 34:54Speaker 3: it's live.
- 34:56Speaker 2: I do.
- 34:57Speaker 3: I haven't watched any college film on him yet, but
- 35:00Speaker 3: he moves really well. He's got a lot of size.
- 35:05Speaker 3: Let's see him in action.
- 35:06Speaker 2: You never know.
- 35:06Speaker 3: There's been a lot of undrafted running backs that have
- 35:08Speaker 3: had great success in the national football He's going all
- 35:11Speaker 3: the way back to the old name. Washington Redskins had
- 35:15Speaker 3: one who I think you, by the way, was a
- 35:16Speaker 3: Super Bowl MVP set of like a Super Bowl record Smith.
- 35:21Speaker 3: I believe his name was Smith anyway, Tim something or other.
- 35:26Speaker 3: I mean, he was amazing man, have had an amazing
- 35:29Speaker 3: day with his day and age too, like not many
- 35:31Speaker 3: running backs are going high. So the more value you
- 35:35Speaker 3: can get late, the more chips you can throw at it.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Then okay, let's let's get some running backs well, and
- 35:42Speaker 3: you need you really need that room to have an
- 35:44Speaker 3: impact this year.
- 35:45Speaker 2: They're gonna run the ball.
- 35:47Speaker 3: They're going to run the ball. They're going to run
- 35:48Speaker 3: the ball. With Liam Cohen, they will throw the ball
- 35:51Speaker 3: a little bit. You know, you go back to last
- 35:54Speaker 3: year when they had two receivers, premier receivers hurt with
- 35:58Speaker 3: the Bucks, and all of a sudden and you have
- 36:01Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield throwing the ball fifty times in a game.
- 36:04Speaker 3: So not exactly what you would expect. But Liam Comb
- 36:06Speaker 3: believes in running the football. And last year, if you
- 36:09Speaker 3: look at the way they ran the ball, they got
- 36:11Speaker 3: a hot running back and they just got better and
- 36:14Speaker 3: better as the year progressed with the offensive line and
- 36:18Speaker 3: also the running game. So take advantage of it when
- 36:21Speaker 3: you can, and I hope that it's strong. It starts
- 36:23Speaker 3: out strong for a quarterback and an offense. That's the
- 36:26Speaker 3: first time you're in it. It's a much smoother transition
- 36:29Speaker 3: into all of that. When you've got a strong running game,
- 36:32Speaker 3: and again we with the running game. It all begins
- 36:35Speaker 3: up front the old line. But two days into practice
- 36:38Speaker 3: we'll hold they still look like they did a month ago. Right,
- 36:42Speaker 3: We'll hold off a lot of that until the pads
- 36:44Speaker 3: come on next week Monday, Tuesday, and then next week
- 36:47Speaker 3: we'll talk about that. We'll probably dig into it.
- 36:49Speaker 2: We'll dig into that next week for sure. There'll be
- 36:52Speaker 2: a lot of two days.
- 36:53Speaker 3: We have two or three days in past Monday and Tuesday,
- 36:56Speaker 3: and then they're off Wednesday, and then Patsy I think
- 37:00Speaker 3: pads on Thursday too. I got the schedule right here,
- 37:02Speaker 3: so we can. We'll have three days I think, uh,
- 37:06Speaker 3: pads Monday, Tuesday, and then Spiders Thursday. Okay, we'll have
- 37:09Speaker 3: two days of pads to'll evaluate ads again Friday next week,
- 37:14Speaker 3: I like it, and then scrimmage on Saturday. Uh, scrimmage
- 37:19Speaker 3: fridamage on Friday. That's the pads Friday, Friday, Friday night.
- 37:24Speaker 3: Cool and people can go there. I heard, yeah, you
- 37:27Speaker 3: can register Jaguars all last training camp mock game.
- 37:32Speaker 2: I like it.
- 37:33Speaker 3: That's always fun to get in the stadium and we'll
- 37:36Speaker 3: have by that time we'll have an idea of how
- 37:39Speaker 3: to get in the stadium. There's a lot of construction
- 37:41Speaker 3: going on. We'll give you the latest, of course that
- 37:44Speaker 3: comes around. As part of it, there'll be some worn
- 37:47Speaker 3: signs that says detour, just follow the sign, follow the
- 37:50Speaker 3: person in front of it. We'll get to that, of course,
- 37:52Speaker 3: closer to scrimmage time. Jacks fans want customize Jaggs furniture

- 38:06Speaker 3: We're back in a moment the injury report. Our final
- 38:08Speaker 3: thoughts in at five o'clock.
- 38:10Speaker 2: It is The Liam.
- 38:10Speaker 3: Cohen Show featuring James Gladstone and Tony Vasselli. This is
- 38:16Speaker 3: Jaguars Happy Out.
- 38:28Speaker 2: I think you're always going through that throughout the season.
- 38:30Speaker 7: And one of the beautiful things about football is it
- 38:33Speaker 7: can be so personnel and package riant. You know, based
- 38:36Speaker 7: on the opponent, you know what they're putting out there
- 38:38Speaker 7: from a personnel perspective, or who those guys actually are,
- 38:41Speaker 7: what's the best matchup? A lot of times that decides
- 38:44Speaker 7: who you play and who's playing in the game. So
- 38:47Speaker 7: we try to do that all the way through, you know,
- 38:48Speaker 7: all the way through to the end of the season,
- 38:50Speaker 7: and I think that's a big part of the evaluation
- 38:54Speaker 7: as a coach.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Anthony can't put need a lady, the defensive coordinator for
- 38:58Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Welcome back is Jaguars Happy Hour Neee Nelly.
- 39:03Speaker 2: He's good with both.
- 39:04Speaker 3: It's who he is as long as as long as
- 39:08Speaker 3: that's he's The one thing he's not worried about is
- 39:10Speaker 3: the pronunciation.
- 39:11Speaker 4: Of his name.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Now he's good with either way, you know. And I
- 39:15Speaker 3: asked Foye about him. I said, how do you like
- 39:17Speaker 3: him to give man? He goes, I come from the Northeast.
- 39:19Speaker 3: He goes, I like that kind of brash, you know,
- 39:23Speaker 3: edge that he's got.
- 39:24Speaker 2: He says, that's kind of what I'm used to. I said, good, good,
- 39:26Speaker 2: I like it.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Love that We are on tentton XLAM, Jaguars dot Com,
- 39:31Speaker 3: ninety two point five FM, Jaguars YouTube, all the places
- 39:34Speaker 3: for Jaguars Happy Hour and coming up in about twelve
- 39:36Speaker 3: minutes or so, a little less than that, it's the
- 39:38Speaker 3: Liam Cohen Show. No coach this week, but Tony Basselli
- 39:42Speaker 3: and James Gladstone will step in at the start of
- 39:45Speaker 3: the show. We're told to join us. So that's coming
- 39:48Speaker 3: up in just a few minutes time. Time now for
- 39:51Speaker 3: the injury report presented by uf Health, the proud healthcare
- 39:54Speaker 3: partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Two players on the physically
- 39:58Speaker 3: unable to Perform list active, so it means that they
- 40:01Speaker 3: can get out there and do some side work. Dennis
- 40:04Speaker 3: Gardek brought in in the off season, eighth year player
- 40:08Speaker 3: out of Sioux Falls, was in Arizona his entire professional career,
- 40:13Speaker 3: had an ACL injury last season I think week seven,
- 40:17Speaker 3: So he's off to the side getting work done on
- 40:19Speaker 3: the pup list. And then Mason Smith on the defensive
- 40:22Speaker 3: line of course, draft picked fairly recently, is off to
- 40:26Speaker 3: the side as well on the pup list.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Those are the two notables at least early in camp.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and look with Mason Smith, I mean, they don't
- 40:36Speaker 3: have to disclose injuries at this state point of the year,
- 40:41Speaker 3: and so they're not talking about it. From what I
- 40:43Speaker 3: do understand though, is that it's nothing serious. They're just
- 40:46Speaker 3: kind of taking some precautions. With Mason, He's worked his
- 40:51Speaker 3: tailoff all year, I mean worked his tailoff his state here,
- 40:55Speaker 3: worked hard, has changes, body looks really good. And the
- 41:01Speaker 3: one thing that I want to see him really mature
- 41:03Speaker 3: with is his mindset a little bit, and that in
- 41:06Speaker 3: the past you would see he plays hard, he practices hard,
- 41:10Speaker 3: but sometimes he's a little extracurricular after the whistle stuff.
- 41:15Speaker 3: I mean, he's got to keep his energy focused to
- 41:18Speaker 3: the stuff between the whistle, and that's okay, but sometimes
- 41:21Speaker 3: that's Look, I was that way a little bit when
- 41:23Speaker 3: I was a younger player. Was more than willing to
- 41:27Speaker 3: participate a little and things says, yeah, you're not free
- 41:31Speaker 3: of any of these charges either, But that's why I'm
- 41:33Speaker 3: saying so. I and Mason's such a good guy. And
- 41:36Speaker 3: he's got you see, the just the measurables, the.
- 41:41Speaker 2: Size, the he's got all the tools.
- 41:45Speaker 3: And I thought last year in training camp he was
- 41:48Speaker 3: the best interior pass rusher this team had. I'm talking
- 41:53Speaker 3: hands down. But once the game started, you know, now
- 41:58Speaker 3: you've got an assignment responsibility. You know, the mind makes
- 42:02Speaker 3: things slow down a little bit, and the production wasn't
- 42:06Speaker 3: quite exactly where you wanted it. But this is a
- 42:08Speaker 3: player that I believe is really going to develop. You know,
- 42:10Speaker 3: you go back to Marcus Stroud and I'm not saying
- 42:13Speaker 3: that he's going to be Marcus Stroud. But Marcus Stroud's
- 42:16Speaker 3: first year, many people were like, I don't know, is
- 42:19Speaker 3: this guy going to be any good? Well, he turned
- 42:21Speaker 3: out to be one of the best defensive tackles in
- 42:22Speaker 3: all of football during his time frame.
- 42:25Speaker 2: Again, we'll get to the D line and O line
- 42:27Speaker 2: coming up next week.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Once some shoulder pads go on that starts early next week,
- 42:32Speaker 3: we'll have something to really sink our teeth into. Nothing
- 42:35Speaker 3: better then training camp practices that have full pads and
- 42:41Speaker 3: you have the one on one drills with offensive in
- 42:44Speaker 3: the defensive lineman. That's the stuff that you really look
- 42:48Speaker 3: at and go, oh, yeah, you can really get a good,
- 42:51Speaker 3: good look at these guys in competition man at amps up.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Oh it's yeah. You can put offensive and defensive.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Lineman and if they do a drill and no pads,
- 43:01Speaker 3: it's kind of a dance, okay, because you know you're, yeah,
- 43:05Speaker 3: you're getting your steps and your hands placement, but there's
- 43:08Speaker 3: no none of that. You know, you got to have
- 43:10Speaker 3: a little bit of that practice, you know, that's what
- 43:14Speaker 3: makes the world go round. The sound effects department, that's
- 43:18Speaker 3: my best.
- 43:19Speaker 2: That's all I can do.
- 43:21Speaker 3: No grunning though, no, well, there's grunning. I'll give you
- 43:24Speaker 3: a funny story.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Please do not.
- 43:26Speaker 3: I'm not gonna grunt, but I'm gonna give you a
- 43:27Speaker 3: funny story. So I remember my second year in the league,
- 43:34Speaker 3: Pete Carroll it's been eighty nineteen ninety and Pete Carroll
- 43:42Speaker 3: moved me to defensive end him and Greg Robinson was
- 43:46Speaker 3: the line coach. Greig was our defense or Pete was
- 43:48Speaker 3: defensive coordinator, and going against the New York Giants, and
- 43:53Speaker 3: I think it was a preseason game. We always matched
- 43:56Speaker 3: up against the Giants in a preseason game. And it
- 43:58Speaker 3: was like the first snap or something like that, and
- 44:01Speaker 3: I line up and Jumbo Elliott was the left tackle
- 44:03Speaker 3: or the Giants good player, right absolutely, and he's growling
- 44:07Speaker 3: at me. And I went, come on, man, really, you're
- 44:11Speaker 3: gonna growl at me? And the best part was like
- 44:13Speaker 3: a dog round yeah, And I'm going, what is this, right?
- 44:19Speaker 3: And so I'm kind of chuckling because I'm like, this
- 44:21Speaker 3: is the first time I ever actually had an offensive
- 44:23Speaker 3: lineman growl at me. And I was laughing because I
- 44:27Speaker 3: had what was called a Niner stunt. So I'm in
- 44:30Speaker 3: a five technique outside shade on his shoulder and we
- 44:33Speaker 3: had a stunt where the nose tackle went up the
- 44:38Speaker 3: field in the a gap as fast as he can,
- 44:40Speaker 3: one step for me at the tackle and then loop
- 44:43Speaker 3: underneath of the nose tackle. So I was laughing because
- 44:47Speaker 3: he's growling at me, which is awesome because he thinks
- 44:49Speaker 3: he's gonna come out and punch me in the mouth.
- 44:51Speaker 3: But I'm gonna take one step and I'm gone. And
- 44:54Speaker 3: sure enough he comes at me. I one step, knock
- 44:57Speaker 3: his hands down, go up, get a hit on the
- 44:59Speaker 3: cour order back in complete pass, and I was like, dude,
- 45:02Speaker 3: stop growling.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Did you grow back? No? Later? Plaint now.
- 45:07Speaker 3: I did walk by him later in the in that game,
- 45:09Speaker 3: and I just went you did, but not but not
- 45:13Speaker 3: like why we were lying it up.
- 45:15Speaker 2: It was over. That's funny story. By the way, When
- 45:18Speaker 2: does Jaguars All Access TV start? It's gonna be the
- 45:22Speaker 2: question I have to look in my house.
- 45:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure, but all these shows, you gotta give
- 45:27Speaker 3: me there, you gotta give me a little heads up
- 45:29Speaker 3: on that question.
- 45:30Speaker 2: I was just curious. Yes, sometime soon people were excited
- 45:34Speaker 2: about the show always.
- 45:36Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question. Where's Dave de Cannice when you, Dave,
- 45:39Speaker 3: where are you? Ask me that question next Thursday, next week,
- 45:44Speaker 3: and I'll give you an answer.
- 45:46Speaker 2: Yeah. I just knew that we were starting today.
- 45:48Speaker 3: This is yeah, and then we'll start phasing in some
- 45:51Speaker 3: other shows in the afternoon in the coming weeks, like
- 45:54Speaker 3: the Monday show will be a couple of weeks out
- 45:56Speaker 3: of Jaguars AM was on today, right, they were.
- 46:00Speaker 2: I've got an answer.
- 46:00Speaker 3: For you, by the way, Jaguars All Access, you do
- 46:03Speaker 3: you got it in your ear? Sources say, sources say
- 46:06Speaker 3: it's August twenty eighth. Okay, all right, what is the
- 46:12Speaker 3: sources telling you now that? Yeah, that's all I got,
- 46:17Speaker 3: So put that on your count. The reason I wasn't
- 46:19Speaker 3: in the in my mind yet because I knew that
- 46:21Speaker 3: it was starting later, you know, because I know we
- 46:24Speaker 3: typically started before the regular season sometimes go into.
- 46:30Speaker 2: That bye weekend that's going into Labor Day weekend.
- 46:33Speaker 3: Right, which is like the last weekend until with the grind,
- 46:39Speaker 3: you know, the season begins of the season of excitement.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they'll go before the owner of against
- 46:46Speaker 2: Carolina at one o'clock on the sixth. Yeah, right, that'll
- 46:49Speaker 2: be nice and cool that day.
- 46:51Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, it'll be you know, high seventy five, chirping,
- 46:57Speaker 3: wind blown, general breeze out of the east ten so,
- 47:03Speaker 3: and then of course it goes straight and through London,
- 47:06Speaker 3: and then the bye week's right after London this year.
- 47:08Speaker 3: So that's a good a little stretch of football there. Yeah,
- 47:11Speaker 3: a little different schedule this year.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Monday night game in there. Yeah, I'm excited about that.
- 47:16Speaker 2: That's the Chiefs game. That's a that's a that's gonna
- 47:20Speaker 2: be a big game. Huge.
- 47:21Speaker 3: I say big game. They're all big games, but I
- 47:23Speaker 3: mean a big game from a from a demand standpoint.
- 47:28Speaker 3: I mean, look, you're talking about the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 47:31Speaker 3: By the way, did you watch the Quarterback series on
- 47:35Speaker 3: Netflix yet?
- 47:36Speaker 2: No?
- 47:37Speaker 3: I haven't either. Good, well, I watched the first one.
- 47:40Speaker 3: I've watched the first one, and I want to watch
- 47:42Speaker 3: the second one because they did quarterbacks and they did
- 47:44Speaker 3: receivers correct, and now Quarterbacks Part two or whatever it is.
- 47:48Speaker 3: You know, I think that'll be a pretty cool thing
- 47:53Speaker 3: once I get into it.
- 47:55Speaker 2: I like that kind of stuff. I like that kind
- 47:58Speaker 2: of stuff, you know.
- 47:58Speaker 3: Between order Back on Netflix and The Hunt on YouTube, right,
- 48:05Speaker 3: the Jaguars show, The Hunt. Just watched the last episode.
- 48:09Speaker 3: What did you think of the Jaguar game. What do
- 48:12Speaker 3: they call it?
- 48:12Speaker 2: The Iron Iron Jaguar Game. It's awesome. I think it's
- 48:15Speaker 2: a great concept.
- 48:17Speaker 3: And Foyer's team, by the way, Foyer, Luke and the
- 48:20Speaker 3: linebacker ended up winning. Smart guy okay, evaluated all the events. Okay, folks,
- 48:27Speaker 3: And if you want to understand what I'm talking about,
- 48:29Speaker 3: go to YouTube, okay and subscribe to the Jaguars YouTube
- 48:33Speaker 3: channel and watch the hunt. Don't start with this series, okay,
- 48:36Speaker 3: go back to the beginning and watch the first one

- 48:41Speaker 3: which is what we're talking about. And the Iron Jaguar
- 48:45Speaker 3: Games where they had a draft and a Foyer smart
- 48:48Speaker 3: guy man okay, Ivy League school, ivy lea that educated
- 48:53Speaker 3: I've heard, looked at the actual contest, evaluated what the
- 48:57Speaker 3: skill set needed, was going to be the right guys
- 49:01Speaker 3: and ended up winning and they got the four go
- 49:04Speaker 3: the conditioning test coming into.
