- 0:02Speaker 1: I can't really play free and play really well if
- 0:05Speaker 1: you don't know what you're doing. So that's the that's
- 0:07Speaker 1: the goal, is just to master with the offense by
- 0:09Speaker 1: time training camp comes around. Welcome to Jaguars Reporters, presented
- 0:14Speaker 1: by t I A A Bank with Brian Sexton, John Osher,
- 0:18Speaker 1: Ashlyn Sullivan, and J. P. Shadman. Presended by t I
- 0:23Speaker 1: A A Bank starts right now. Welcome in to Jaguars
- 0:28Speaker 1: Reporters today as Monday, June fourteenth, JP Shadrick, Ashland Sullivan,
- 0:33Speaker 1: John Osier and Bucky Brooks in the flesh right. Hello,
- 0:39Speaker 1: Bucky loved him right in the building. I get a
- 0:42Speaker 1: chance if you wanted to reporters, I'm off the shirt.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I see the Jaguar logo. I'm making logo matters to me.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Yes it does. We've talked to Bucky for like a
- 0:51Speaker 1: year and a half. We've never been a person. He
- 0:53Speaker 1: walked in. I was like, wait a minute, Buck, he's
- 0:56Speaker 1: here today. I know it was coming, but pretty cool.
- 0:59Speaker 1: John happy here? Yeah, I guess it's it's uh. I
- 1:07Speaker 1: would probably air on the side of hey, Buck, how
- 1:10Speaker 1: you doing right and having a party, But I'm good
- 1:12Speaker 1: with it. You can roll that red carpet right back up, Bucky.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I don't need that anymore. I never get this kind
- 1:20Speaker 1: of reception on there every day. So yeah, that's fine.
- 1:26Speaker 1: There's a reason for that, John, there's a reason you
- 1:28Speaker 1: don't get that every day. Yeah, here's what's going on
- 1:34Speaker 1: this week, Manda Joy mini camp underway and it started
- 1:38Speaker 1: today and it ends tomorrow. They've taken a day off
- 1:41Speaker 1: the schedule, trimmed it up a little bit, and you know,
- 1:44Speaker 1: they've been they've really been doing a lot of work
- 1:47Speaker 1: in the o t a period, so you know, trim
- 1:49Speaker 1: off a day at the end, they got a lot
- 1:51Speaker 1: of work in today, Ashland and you know, throw a
- 1:54Speaker 1: bone and get him out of here to day early. Yeah.
- 1:56Speaker 1: We've seen in the past couple of years where it's
- 1:58Speaker 1: either the training camp or the the vote for they'll
- 2:01Speaker 1: have bowling day or team bonding day. I think coach
- 2:04Speaker 1: Meyer and the coaching staff understands, let's just get these
- 2:06Speaker 1: guys out of here to their families. That's what they
- 2:08Speaker 1: want to do. It's been a it's been a long
- 2:10Speaker 1: couple of weeks and I think they are in it. Yeah,
- 2:13Speaker 1: I agree. I think they have really been going at it.
- 2:16Speaker 1: And I think right now, when we've seen the things
- 2:18Speaker 1: around the league where we've seen some of the injuries
- 2:20Speaker 1: and things pop up, I think the number one goal
- 2:22Speaker 1: is to get everyone to training camp. You want to
- 2:24Speaker 1: get everyone to training camp, everyone healthy, ready to go,
- 2:27Speaker 1: so you can tack that part of the preseason, and
- 2:29Speaker 1: then the goal after that is to see if we
- 2:31Speaker 1: can get everybody to the regular season ready. Rock Well,
- 2:34Speaker 1: you sent a good message too. They had almost participation
- 2:38Speaker 1: in O t A s. If you hadn't had that
- 2:40Speaker 1: level of participation, then you make sure that they work
- 2:44Speaker 1: all three days of many camp. You had huge participation,
- 2:47Speaker 1: so you should have gotten what you needed to do done.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And I would think it's a message of the players
- 2:52Speaker 1: that hey, show up for everything and I'll throw you
- 2:55Speaker 1: a bone back And Houston canceled a whole mini camp
- 2:58Speaker 1: all together. Go to the participation buck. What in the world.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I mean we're saying there like it's funny, because the
- 3:05Speaker 1: conversation at the beginning of the off season was all
- 3:08Speaker 1: we can get these guys to show up and participating.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Then we get them there and everyone's like, oh no,
- 3:12Speaker 1: everyone go home. And so I think it's just part
- 3:15Speaker 1: of the off season headlines, where as much ado about nothing.
- 3:19Speaker 1: I have a questioned though the scout are we staying
- 3:24Speaker 1: are we staying all? Are the players sort of winning
- 3:29Speaker 1: this a little bit overall? Meaning you cancel the mini
- 3:33Speaker 1: camps because you showed up pro t A. Other teams
- 3:37Speaker 1: are sort of some teams are not having anything. Are
- 3:42Speaker 1: we going to go back to where every team considers
- 3:46Speaker 1: it absolutely vital that you have all thirteen and any
- 3:48Speaker 1: point or are we going to see a gradual ebbing
- 3:51Speaker 1: of maybe this isn't as important as we once thought.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I think we'll see probably modifications continue. I think we'll
- 3:59Speaker 1: see some of the stuff that you guys have talked about,
- 4:01Speaker 1: seeing the individual work, the skill development work, maybe not
- 4:05Speaker 1: the competitive periods. So you see the guy's work on
- 4:08Speaker 1: their individual drills that work on things to become better players.
- 4:11Speaker 1: They'll do small group work, they'll do more walk through
- 4:14Speaker 1: run through stuff as opposed to the seven H seven
- 4:18Speaker 1: nine O seven eleven on eleven competitive things that we're
- 4:21Speaker 1: used to seeing in some of these off seasons. Yeah,
- 4:24Speaker 1: it's it's been hard to kind of take headlines from
- 4:26Speaker 1: these practices. And we talked about there's no winner or
- 4:28Speaker 1: a loser I'm not gonna lie today. I was like, man,
- 4:30Speaker 1: I don't even know. It's right down. Okay, they can
- 4:36Speaker 1: They worked out today is what they did. Yeah, I
- 4:39Speaker 1: mean it's fine. But I think Urgan feels that way too.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I mean it's he's new to that. He's just fresh
- 4:46Speaker 1: in this. He's always dealt with Tom and he's made
- 4:49Speaker 1: several illusions dude, no winner or loser. I you know,
- 4:54Speaker 1: it would be interesting to see what he tries to
- 4:56Speaker 1: get out of next year's considering what he learned about this,
- 5:00Speaker 1: because he kept going back to that no winner or
- 5:01Speaker 1: losing thing. Yeah, I'm not sure that he loves being
- 5:05Speaker 1: on the field if there's no winner or loser. So
- 5:08Speaker 1: you wonder how he'll adjust next year to try and
- 5:11Speaker 1: get the most out of it. As we said on
- 5:13Speaker 1: the Huddle Up Pod last week, he'll make up for
- 5:16Speaker 1: it come training camp. Will be plenty of plenty of
- 5:19Speaker 1: points to have winners and losers. Yeah, no, it is.
- 5:23Speaker 1: It is funny because for him, I guess the offseason
- 5:27Speaker 1: O T A program would be like spring ball. But
- 5:29Speaker 1: the problem is in college two spring balls with pats,
- 5:33Speaker 1: you're going, you're building up to a spring game, and
- 5:36Speaker 1: now you don't have that. And in the prose, you're
- 5:39Speaker 1: trying to preserve your players, you're trying to develop them.
- 5:41Speaker 1: You don't want to have injuries. Particularly the coaches won't
- 5:43Speaker 1: admit this, but they hear what's going on around the league.
- 5:47Speaker 1: No one wants any of that to happen to one
- 5:49Speaker 1: of the players that you're counting on. Definitely not one
- 5:51Speaker 1: of our other big points this week. Trevor Lawrence well
- 5:54Speaker 1: last week and organized team activities, came up with a
- 5:57Speaker 1: hamstring issue. Didn't do a lot today Ashland. We did
- 6:02Speaker 1: hear from him after practice though, he says and urban
- 6:05Speaker 1: Meyer said that if it was a game week, he
- 6:07Speaker 1: would play all that. Well, it's not a game week.
- 6:09Speaker 1: It's June fourteenth, So Trevor just kind of stand back
- 6:13Speaker 1: there out of the way and uh, enjoy the ice pack, right.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I mean, that's a It seems like he's got his
- 6:18Speaker 1: head on straight. Everything is still going well above the
- 6:21Speaker 1: shoulders for Trevor, and the offense is coming along. It's
- 6:24Speaker 1: kind of what you expect to hear this time of year, though.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I would think, yeah, and I liked how you was
- 6:28Speaker 1: honest that it's frustrating. He'd like to be out there
- 6:31Speaker 1: doing his thing. But he doesn't need to be. We
- 6:33Speaker 1: know what he is. We've seen when he can do hamerstring.
- 6:35Speaker 1: We've seen it around here with Leonard for Nett. That
- 6:37Speaker 1: can be such a nagging injury, and that's the last
- 6:40Speaker 1: thing you want right now. We won't seem on the
- 6:42Speaker 1: field tomorrow. I think he'll be great for training camp,
- 6:44Speaker 1: but I totally see why there's no reason to risk it,
- 6:48Speaker 1: even if it's a risk. No. I think, Look, he's
- 6:52Speaker 1: really ahead of schedule based on what we thought was
- 6:54Speaker 1: going to happen prior to the draft with the arm
- 6:57Speaker 1: and the shoulder and going through that surgery and those things.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Were actually able to see him throw the ball around
- 7:02Speaker 1: and do some of that stuff. So No. One goal
- 7:04Speaker 1: is to get Trevor ready to go to kind of
- 7:06Speaker 1: see where he is and how far they can go
- 7:09Speaker 1: in terms of the depth of the playbook before he's
- 7:12Speaker 1: ready to play in Week one. That that's ultimately what
- 7:14Speaker 1: training camp is about. Training camp is about getting Trevor
- 7:16Speaker 1: Lawrence ready to play and ready to have a successful
- 7:18Speaker 1: Week one and first quarter this season. Remember too. Subscribe

- 7:30Speaker 1: and your comments. We've moved out to big things for
- 7:34Speaker 1: this Monday, June fourteen, Ashland Sullivan get a store. Yeah.
- 7:38Speaker 1: So I have had the privilege of helping out the
- 7:41Speaker 1: social media department and during O t a sum out
- 7:43Speaker 1: there every morning. Thank you very much. I'm out there
- 7:46Speaker 1: stalking these guys with my cell phone as they walk around.
- 7:49Speaker 1: But it's truss. I feel a little creepy at times.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Please talk to me, please say something. But I've noticed
- 7:56Speaker 1: that Jordan's Smith, who was drafted, he was at Florida.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I had some bumps along the road, and there were
- 8:01Speaker 1: a lot of questions around this guy. And I've noticed
- 8:04Speaker 1: that every single day it has almost every day been
- 8:08Speaker 1: urban Meyer and Jordan Smith walking out to practice together.
- 8:11Speaker 1: And I've noticed that he's really heavily tended to during
- 8:14Speaker 1: practice any member of the coaching staff. So I think
- 8:17Speaker 1: this is the guy that that we need to keep
- 8:19Speaker 1: our eyes on. And I knew that there was a
- 8:20Speaker 1: lot of publicity around him at the draft, and now
- 8:23Speaker 1: I'm thinking more so he's going to have an even
- 8:24Speaker 1: bigger role if this coaching staff is paying this much
- 8:27Speaker 1: attention to him. Bucky six seven to fifty. So he
- 8:32Speaker 1: walks on the field, It's like, who is that guy?
- 8:35Speaker 1: Long and tall and look, it looks to port And
- 8:39Speaker 1: I think if you think about him and you hear
- 8:42Speaker 1: Urban's words over and over again, he talks about being bigger, faster, stronger, bigger,
- 8:46Speaker 1: faster strong and bigger, faster, stronger version of themselves as team,
- 8:50Speaker 1: as athletes, as players, And what we're wanting to see
- 8:52Speaker 1: is ideally a team that is full of heavyweights, big
- 8:56Speaker 1: guys that can kind of knock you around at the
- 8:57Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, that can move by ease and and
- 9:00Speaker 1: do those things. And I think he's one of the
- 9:03Speaker 1: guys that will be a major contributor at some point.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I don't think it's a coincidence that all of these
- 9:09Speaker 1: guys that came in were really heavily decorated recruits in
- 9:14Speaker 1: high school big programs, power five programs, played big time football. Um.
- 9:20Speaker 1: I think that's the sweet spot. And I think it's
- 9:22Speaker 1: just playing out because the team that I saw walking
- 9:24Speaker 1: on the field was a bigger, stronger team than we've seen.
- 9:31Speaker 1: John Osher's dog is darking in the background. I love it, though,
- 9:36Speaker 1: you know we've had dogs this part of podcast, do
- 9:40Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday Sun Sunday makes an appearance. You know, she
- 9:44Speaker 1: looks up, Oh, you get the jaguar stuff. All they
- 9:47Speaker 1: make sure that I get recognized and I'm in the credits,
- 9:50Speaker 1: so I love it. I'll move on my big thing next.
- 9:57Speaker 1: And you know, we kind of talked on this. They've
- 10:00Speaker 1: dialed back this week's work a little bit, cut off
- 10:02Speaker 1: some time on Monday and Tuesday, and canceled Wednesday. But
- 10:07Speaker 1: some teams are canceling the week altogether, you know, and
- 10:12Speaker 1: that's as we talked about earlier. It seems like that
- 10:16Speaker 1: might be the trend moving ahead here for a lot
- 10:18Speaker 1: of these teams. Yet and different. Yeah, I think it's
- 10:23Speaker 1: a different way of going about it. Like players spoke
- 10:25Speaker 1: up prior to the offseason, coaches had to negotiate terms
- 10:28Speaker 1: with some of the veteran players to get guys to
- 10:30Speaker 1: come in for tas and workouts, and so we've seen
- 10:33Speaker 1: a very different offseason. We've talked about the one on
- 10:36Speaker 1: one in the individual um practices. In terms of teams,
- 10:40Speaker 1: folks in on developing the fundamentals within those small position
- 10:43Speaker 1: groups rather than really have these competitive team periods that
- 10:47Speaker 1: were accustomed to seeing seeing, So I asked him, when
- 10:49Speaker 1: you talk about not having any notes, it's really hard
- 10:51Speaker 1: to write noticing anybody when everyone is just going through
- 10:54Speaker 1: footwork and uh, hand placement drills in those things. And
- 10:58Speaker 1: so hopefully the cop the competition will ramp up when
- 11:01Speaker 1: we get the training camp. But this has been very
- 11:04Speaker 1: much a developmental type atmosphere around the league that we're seeing. Yeah,
- 11:10Speaker 1: I think we saw a glimpse of the biggest competition
- 11:12Speaker 1: we've seen so far. And that was a kicker today.
- 11:15Speaker 1: It was something we honestly didn't really expect. It was
- 11:18Speaker 1: Josh Lambo and Rosa's going at it, and and erben
- 11:21Speaker 1: Meyer said, yeah, this is a competition and we're going
- 11:23Speaker 1: to get an answer here that that was it. That
- 11:26Speaker 1: was thee of the day. Yeah, right, and Rosa has
- 11:29Speaker 1: had a couple of bombs from fifty seven to day too.
- 11:31Speaker 1: We didn't had a good day. That's good for him, Bucky.
- 11:35Speaker 1: You know your big thing here, it's you mentioned all
- 11:39Speaker 1: this and developmental things. Well, for a young team, that's
- 11:43Speaker 1: a good thing. It is a good thing. So my
- 11:45Speaker 1: big thing was young guys getting up to speed. We
- 11:47Speaker 1: saw it last year, so many young guys on the field,
- 11:49Speaker 1: so many guys playing around trying to learn how to play.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Um I mean, I look at the number of coaches
- 11:55Speaker 1: that are on the staff and the number of bodies
- 11:58Speaker 1: and people with hats and polos and stuff on the field.
- 12:02Speaker 1: I mean, like skill development is a big thing. And
- 12:04Speaker 1: normally we think about skill development in the in the NBA,
- 12:08Speaker 1: where you have these skill development coaches working on teaching
- 12:11Speaker 1: guys how to play well. Now we're seeing that play
- 12:13Speaker 1: out with the nature of the off season. The amount
- 12:16Speaker 1: of individual attention that these guys are getting. The coach,
- 12:19Speaker 1: the player ratio is very favorable, is shrunk dramatically, and
- 12:22Speaker 1: so guys are having a lot of attention paid to
- 12:25Speaker 1: them in terms of developing their games. And so we'll
- 12:28Speaker 1: see if you can develop the players individually and get
- 12:30Speaker 1: them to play together collectively, maybe we'll see better results
- 12:34Speaker 1: on the field. But this is a very very unique
- 12:36Speaker 1: situation with such a young team. But um all kind
- 12:40Speaker 1: of equated to when Trimbaky was in San Francisco and
- 12:44Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh came in and they didn't have an offseason.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Harbor was coming straight from the college game in the
- 12:50Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine has hit the ground running because
- 12:52Speaker 1: it was a very similar approach. Maybe just maybe the
- 12:55Speaker 1: Jaguars sitting ground running because they are taking more of
- 12:57Speaker 1: a collegiate approach to the way that their prayer send
- 13:00Speaker 1: develop into players. A lot of those young guys are
- 13:02Speaker 1: gonna have to contribute pretty quickly here. And it's guys
- 13:04Speaker 1: you had your eyes on last year that you said
- 13:06Speaker 1: they really need an off season this year, the Calebon
- 13:09Speaker 1: Chassons and the Lavisco Chanults, and those are guys where
- 13:12Speaker 1: we're seeing shine right now. It's really vital that those
- 13:15Speaker 1: guys have a great off season. That's it for big
- 13:19Speaker 1: things today. And single game tickets for the season are
- 13:23Speaker 1: on sale now. Visit Jaguars dot com or calling nine
- 13:26Speaker 1: oh four six three three, two thousand or team of
- 13:28Speaker 1: representatives is ready to help you get back in the
- 13:31Speaker 1: bank in time for Did you hear this? Trevor Lawrence,
- 13:37Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback, speaking after practice Monday, adjusting to the speed
- 13:42Speaker 1: of the NFL game. Obviously, I still have a lot
- 13:45Speaker 1: to learn, and just the more you practice something, the
- 13:48Speaker 1: better you get at it. So I still gotta get
- 13:49Speaker 1: a lot of reps me the receivers, O lines, all
- 13:52Speaker 1: the timing and meshing with all that, we still got
- 13:55Speaker 1: some work to do, but from a knowledge and just
- 13:59Speaker 1: memorize a in a mental standpoint, I feel really good
- 14:01Speaker 1: with the system. Um, I think it's great. We've got
- 14:04Speaker 1: a lot of answers and now it's just working out
- 14:07Speaker 1: all the little details to be a really good offense,
- 14:09Speaker 1: and we're working towards that. I want to have you
- 14:12Speaker 1: know complete control and and know everything and be comfortable.
- 14:16Speaker 1: I mean, you can't really play play free and play
- 14:19Speaker 1: really well if you don't know what you're doing. So
- 14:21Speaker 1: that's the that's the goal, is just to master the
- 14:23Speaker 1: offense by the time training camp comes around. So in
- 14:26Speaker 1: training camp we really can focus everything forward on being
- 14:29Speaker 1: the best team we can come August fourteenth, and then
- 14:32Speaker 1: going on into the regular season as well. So that's
- 14:34Speaker 1: the plan, and it starts the quarterback. Obviously, I have
- 14:37Speaker 1: to be ready and I'm gonna do everything I can
- 14:39Speaker 1: to ensure that that that is the case. So I'm
- 14:41Speaker 1: excited to get started and we've I think we've had
- 14:44Speaker 1: a great past three weeks and it's been it's been
- 14:46Speaker 1: really good work all right. Obviously it's a different speed game.
- 14:50Speaker 1: It's June it's not full speed right now. But even
- 14:54Speaker 1: at this moment, Bucky, the windows are a little tighter
- 14:57Speaker 1: for Trevor and the quarterbacks. Yeah, the wind is a
- 14:59Speaker 1: tighter and the speed will continue to adjust. And what
- 15:02Speaker 1: Trevor and all the young guys will find out the
- 15:04Speaker 1: speed goes because you have what he's figuring out now
- 15:07Speaker 1: is offseason speed, and then when you get into the
- 15:10Speaker 1: preseason games. Preseasons played at a certain speed, the regular
- 15:13Speaker 1: season is much faster than that, and then when you
- 15:16Speaker 1: get into the postseason tournament, it gets faster each and
- 15:18Speaker 1: every round. And so he's gonna have to adjust to
- 15:21Speaker 1: the windows being tighter and what is open and the
- 15:24Speaker 1: pros is vastly different than what's open in college. The
- 15:27Speaker 1: windows and the confidence in which you have to have
- 15:31Speaker 1: to throw the ball into these tight windows, a premium
- 15:34Speaker 1: will be placed on his actually and he has to
- 15:36Speaker 1: be very accomfortable letting it go when it doesn't look
- 15:39Speaker 1: like a guy is necessarily open. We're already seeing that
- 15:42Speaker 1: pressure in the few red zone periods that we've got
- 15:44Speaker 1: to witness. The offense struggled a couple of days, and
- 15:47Speaker 1: it looks like the defense won the date, and every
- 15:49Speaker 1: single quarterback struggle at times, and that's what you expect.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Right now, they're still trying to get that timing down.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Did you hear this from quarterback Trevor Lawrence? Now time
- 16:00Speaker 1: for everyone asks and Bucky. This is a segment of
- 16:03Speaker 1: the program where yes, everyone asks a question and yes
- 16:09Speaker 1: we all answer said question. Ashley, why don't you kick
- 16:12Speaker 1: us off? I would like to throw a little spin
- 16:14Speaker 1: on the So summer break is approaching, summer vacation. Let's
- 16:19Speaker 1: just all stay. We're going to the Bahamas. You can
- 16:22Speaker 1: pick any coach, any teammate, any staff member. Only two
- 16:27Speaker 1: of you you can you and your guests can go.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Who are you picking to go to the Bahamas with you?
- 16:34Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna pick Brandon Linder because the
- 16:37Speaker 1: fishing boats and you'll have some fun on the water
- 16:41Speaker 1: he would provide them. I'm sure it would be. It
- 16:43Speaker 1: would be an epic trip because the boats would be
- 16:46Speaker 1: filled with fresh fish on the daily and you probably
- 16:50Speaker 1: just right over there on the boat too. You would
- 16:52Speaker 1: have to fly or anything. So that's probably my pick
- 16:55Speaker 1: right off the top of my head. I mean, I
- 16:57Speaker 1: like that. Well, I'm gonna go, and this is gonna
- 16:59Speaker 1: be like the corny stock answer. But I'm gonna go
- 17:02Speaker 1: with urban Meyer. And the reason why I'm gonning Urbaner
- 17:04Speaker 1: because normally when you go on vacation, you read a book.
- 17:07Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, now I can just get a book
- 17:08Speaker 1: on tape. By talking to urban Meyer the entire time,
- 17:11Speaker 1: I can get above the line. He can just every day.
- 17:13Speaker 1: He can just kind of recite a couple of chapters
- 17:15Speaker 1: to me out of the book, and I look, I'm there,
- 17:17Speaker 1: I'm being knowledgeable, and I'm understand exactly how to change
- 17:20Speaker 1: the culture of whatever it is I'm trying to change.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Is that a vacation move to your advantage? And he
- 17:25Speaker 1: might be just sit over there. It's been like, I'm
- 17:31Speaker 1: not gonna be running around four to six, eight to
- 17:34Speaker 1: b like he wants for too, trying to go and
- 17:35Speaker 1: get fruity drinks. But he can he can educate me
- 17:38Speaker 1: on some of the other stuff, the other process. I
- 17:41Speaker 1: saw that Shelley Meyer, his wife, on Twitter, posted a
- 17:44Speaker 1: picture of him in a flamingo button down shirts on vacations,
- 17:48Speaker 1: so he might be way more fun than we think.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I bet he is. I'm just saying that we heard
- 17:53Speaker 1: your dog make an appearance a moment ago. What um
- 17:56Speaker 1: What was your answer to Ashland's about what was it
- 18:02Speaker 1: going to? John? Who are you bringing? Oh? If I'm
- 18:06Speaker 1: going to the Bahamas, yep, yeah, a player or a coach? Oh?
- 18:14Speaker 1: My wife first of all? Then she doesn't taking a
- 18:16Speaker 1: coach problem. I mean they're taking a player or coach. Uh,
- 18:21Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with un't take Trevor. Yeah you can
- 18:26Speaker 1: take Trevor, sure, I want to take the Newly way that.
- 18:30Speaker 1: I want to see if those two are as happy
- 18:34Speaker 1: and as perfect as they think. I just want to
- 18:38Speaker 1: see if if there really is on top of the
- 18:40Speaker 1: world I think they are. Podcast took a turn, everything beautiful,
- 18:54Speaker 1: everything perfect in their lives. I just kind of want
- 18:56Speaker 1: to see if that's for real. Okay, well bad the
- 19:00Speaker 1: best rid over there. There's just this answer a question
- 19:07Speaker 1: we gotta follow that. I mean, yeah, Aston brings a vacation,
- 19:10Speaker 1: of course, and I got this football course and that
- 19:12Speaker 1: I just want to know what what do what do
- 19:15Speaker 1: you think Joe Collins Deepens is going to look like?
- 19:17Speaker 1: That was my question. I'm on vacation and trees, and
- 19:21Speaker 1: I got John talking about couples and stuff like that.
- 19:26Speaker 1: It's something else. So what is Joe Collins defense. I
- 19:30Speaker 1: think it looks like whatever it needs to look like
- 19:34Speaker 1: that week. I think it will be adjustable to the
- 19:37Speaker 1: opponent and they'll be able to you know, scheme it
- 19:42Speaker 1: up each week that whatever the matchup works well. Right.
- 19:45Speaker 1: If you have a running team, run more four man
- 19:49Speaker 1: front right and stop the run. If you need to
- 19:52Speaker 1: pass rush and do some other things, you can adjust
- 19:54Speaker 1: that way. You'll see blitzing from all over the place.
- 19:57Speaker 1: I think now the balance is how do you do
- 20:00Speaker 1: all that without overloading these guys, especially the younger guys.
- 20:05Speaker 1: So that's what it's gonna look like, and it's gonna
- 20:08Speaker 1: all gonna look new. I mean they're staying new guys.
- 20:10Speaker 1: It's like there's you know, fourth fists of the secondary's
- 20:13Speaker 1: brand new. It's funny, um, I would say quickly and
- 20:17Speaker 1: looking at it, uh, I saw Rex Ryan's defense all
- 20:21Speaker 1: over in my mind, Like I know he has Bob
- 20:24Speaker 1: Sutton kind of walking around hanging out helping him or whatever.
- 20:27Speaker 1: I know he comes from Baltimore. The base of that
- 20:30Speaker 1: defense has always had Rex Ryan elements and those things.
- 20:34Speaker 1: And you can see the creativity with all the guys
- 20:36Speaker 1: standing up and moving around the overload it appeared pressures,
- 20:40Speaker 1: but a lot of simulated pressures. Where's the four man
- 20:42Speaker 1: rush and seven guys with all those young guys and
- 20:45Speaker 1: all those I would call it the bigger, faster, stronger
- 20:48Speaker 1: bodies out there. It's very intriguing. Now, if they can
- 20:52Speaker 1: execute it, that's one thing, But right now it's very
- 20:54Speaker 1: intriguing to kind of watch from as far as they're
- 20:56Speaker 1: kind of going through it. Think, yeah, I think it
- 20:59Speaker 1: was notable when he mentioned Caleb and Chason, Laurent Tamma
- 21:02Speaker 1: Crawley on Jacobs at that Sam position, he just flat
- 21:05Speaker 1: outside it. We've always appreciated Urban's honesty so far, and
- 21:08Speaker 1: he just kind of just tells us exactly what it's
- 21:10Speaker 1: gonna look like. So you're right, you see that creativity.
- 21:13Speaker 1: And then for him to explain and say, yes, Caleb
- 21:16Speaker 1: and Chason is going to be here, it makes a
- 21:18Speaker 1: lot of sense. John, Yeah, I think it's gonna look
- 21:21Speaker 1: a lot like the Ravens defense. I think what will
- 21:23Speaker 1: be intriguing is to see how Joe Colin take his personnel,
- 21:28Speaker 1: which is not the same as the Ravens, because the
- 21:31Speaker 1: hallmark of the Ravens defense to me, has always been
- 21:35Speaker 1: using all these guys strength in a different ways and
- 21:39Speaker 1: not catering to what the players do. Well. I it's
- 21:42Speaker 1: different personnel. So what is Josh Allen do? I think
- 21:47Speaker 1: the most intriguing thing about this defense to me is
- 21:50Speaker 1: how Miles Jack is going to be used. My understanding
- 21:53Speaker 1: is this staff thinks he's going to be an absolute
- 21:56Speaker 1: star in this defense, and it's going to be to
- 21:59Speaker 1: be used a lot of different ways. How he is used.
- 22:04Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if this sort of becomes
- 22:06Speaker 1: Miles Jack defense. If you guys follow me, meaning like
- 22:09Speaker 1: when you're talking about these guys on TV, if the
- 22:11Speaker 1: commentators is saying, look how they're using this guy, Uh,
- 22:14Speaker 1: they might unlock his potential to a degree has never
- 22:17Speaker 1: been unlocked before. You have it, John, While you're at it,
- 22:21Speaker 1: why don't you give us your everyone asks question? Today?
- 22:24Speaker 1: It's been kind of weird because you know, Minshew, the
- 22:28Speaker 1: one day we were there, he wasn't there, so we
- 22:31Speaker 1: wound up watching uh y C. J. Bethor a lot.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Uh have we learned anything about this quarterback position? To me,
- 22:40Speaker 1: it's been a really weird o p A s back
- 22:42Speaker 1: because of Trevor's injury. Uh, I know it's better but
- 22:46Speaker 1: I haven't really just seen much of I haven't seen
- 22:48Speaker 1: enough of Trevor to have any idea what I'm looking
- 22:51Speaker 1: for in training camp, uh, JP, do we know any
- 22:54Speaker 1: more than we did three weeks? Well, we know that
- 22:56Speaker 1: that one day in the red zone, Ashlan, you referred
- 22:59Speaker 1: to it earlier, that he didn't have the best of
- 23:02Speaker 1: days that day, the defense was tight in the red
- 23:05Speaker 1: zone and all that, But there has not been enough
- 23:08Speaker 1: of a sample size for us to see, at least
- 23:10Speaker 1: with our own eyes. And we've only been out there
- 23:12Speaker 1: four days, uh in four weeks right out of what
- 23:17Speaker 1: ten practices nine probably on the field ten including today,
- 23:21Speaker 1: that's not a lot of time to see trends. And
- 23:25Speaker 1: if a guy is stepping up one day after he
- 23:28Speaker 1: struggled the next, and how he learned from it and
- 23:30Speaker 1: all that. So I think we trust that things are
- 23:33Speaker 1: better in the quarterback room, but yeah, we we would
- 23:36Speaker 1: just haven't seen anything to really validate it yet. I'm
- 23:41Speaker 1: still confident John that it is better, you know now,
- 23:45Speaker 1: and then in the backup situation too, Right, the backup
- 23:49Speaker 1: situation too is still for me unclear, like who's going
- 23:53Speaker 1: to be clear? But I don't know if we like
- 23:54Speaker 1: the answer. I think Gardner Minshew has had a much
- 23:57Speaker 1: better offseeen than c. J. Beathard. I think he looks
- 24:00Speaker 1: if you were to not know the backstory of anything,
- 24:02Speaker 1: I would think Gardner Minshew looks like your backup quarterback. Now.
- 24:05Speaker 1: I don't know if they want that, but when you're
- 24:07Speaker 1: just looking at the level of play on the field,
- 24:10Speaker 1: men show I think had had a better off season
- 24:11Speaker 1: than Bethard. No. I think it's interesting because there's huge
- 24:15Speaker 1: question marks at the QB two spot, Like with Gardner
- 24:17Speaker 1: Minshew with c. J. Bethard. Both those guys have played
- 24:20Speaker 1: in NFL games, have played in action, and I think
- 24:22Speaker 1: they both have left a lot to be desired at times.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Now when you're Urban Meyer coming in and you're there
- 24:29Speaker 1: are Belville and Brian Schottenheimer. The quarterback up quarterback is
- 24:33Speaker 1: a position of trust because you don't get a lot
- 24:35Speaker 1: of reps in practice. A lot of it has to
- 24:36Speaker 1: be mental reps and those things that you fill in.
- 24:39Speaker 1: So who do you trust the most of those options.
- 24:43Speaker 1: That's something we'll figure out really really quickly in the preseason.
- 24:46Speaker 1: But it is interesting to Menshew Bethard debate and conversation
- 24:51Speaker 1: at QB two. I agree that I threw it out there.
- 24:55Speaker 1: I and Gardner Minshew have experienced all of that lends
- 25:01Speaker 1: to an argument that he be the backup. But I'm
- 25:04Speaker 1: with Bucky. You know it's I it's a position to trust.
- 25:09Speaker 1: It's a position where they know what this guy is
- 25:12Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms, meaning meaning Bethard. I asked the
- 25:18Speaker 1: question because I think it's it's fascinating that it's gonna
- 25:22Speaker 1: open training camp where we're sort of trying to figure
- 25:24Speaker 1: out how good Trever is starting off in this offense
- 25:28Speaker 1: because we really haven't seen it yet, how much he's learned.
- 25:31Speaker 1: We really haven't seen a whole lot of practice that
- 25:34Speaker 1: I'm so we're watching that. And then I went the
- 25:36Speaker 1: backup situation is gonna be it's it's a weirder quarterback
- 25:41Speaker 1: situation going into training camp. I don't know if we'd
- 25:44Speaker 1: just the right word, but it just feels like we
- 25:48Speaker 1: know less than I thought we would, So I think
- 25:51Speaker 1: it makes for an it for a very fascinating career.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Four weeks camp final, everyone asks question today, and here's mine.
- 25:59Speaker 1: What newcomer are you most excited to see in the
- 26:03Speaker 1: first preseason game Besides Trevor Lawrence. Of course, I think
- 26:07Speaker 1: we used that caveat with most every topic these days,
- 26:10Speaker 1: because the answer is usually Trevor Lawrence, ashleyn Who do
- 26:13Speaker 1: you like? I have a tie between two, but I'm
- 26:16Speaker 1: gonna between Seaquille Griffin and Jahad Board. Both of these
- 26:21Speaker 1: guys have stood out I think big time during the offseason.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Jahad Board is a guy that you watch him with
- 26:27Speaker 1: the defensive line, and he has seemed to mesh so
- 26:30Speaker 1: quickly with this group, and he was a little intense
- 26:33Speaker 1: at first when we met him, almost I'm going to
- 26:35Speaker 1: say it like a unique and go way yeah. But
- 26:39Speaker 1: then you watch him on the practice field and he's
- 26:41Speaker 1: like this big, goofy guy that's having the time of
- 26:43Speaker 1: his life out there. So I'm curious to see what
- 26:44Speaker 1: his impact is. And then Sequille Griffin is just a
- 26:47Speaker 1: walking sound bite and the leader of this this defense,
- 26:51Speaker 1: the secondary. He is exactly what they needed. So I'm
- 26:54Speaker 1: excited to see both of them. You can get away
- 26:56Speaker 1: with calling him goofy all the rest of us. I
- 26:58Speaker 1: don't think you do why he is yeah, I don't know.
- 27:01Speaker 1: I don't know if I can say, hey, goofy guy.
- 27:05Speaker 1: I don't know that I don't know. I don't know
- 27:08Speaker 1: if you respond, yeah, I don't I don't know if
- 27:12Speaker 1: you respond. I mean, I mean, I don't know, Like
- 27:15Speaker 1: I don't think, oh sh oh, sher. I'll take care
- 27:17Speaker 1: of this, But I'm I'm gonna talk about the elephant
- 27:19Speaker 1: in the room. Tim t bawl, like, we gotta come on.
- 27:22Speaker 1: I gotta see. I gotta see what number eighty five
- 27:24Speaker 1: is going to look like. I gotta see if he's
- 27:26Speaker 1: going to be the preseason darling, Like if I want
- 27:28Speaker 1: to see if he's gonna put points on the board,
- 27:30Speaker 1: if he's going to be a guy that legitimately has
- 27:33Speaker 1: an opportunity to not only make a roster but maybe
- 27:35Speaker 1: be a contributor. So I just kind of want to
- 27:37Speaker 1: see how that plays out in real time. We had
- 27:39Speaker 1: a chance to see him catch some balls today. He
- 27:42Speaker 1: catches the ball fairly well. He's more of a body
- 27:45Speaker 1: catcher now, not necessarily a natural hands catcher. But the
- 27:48Speaker 1: big thing will be his physicality and his aggressiveness, and
- 27:51Speaker 1: we won't be able to assess that until we put
- 27:53Speaker 1: the big boy pads on and we have some live
- 27:56Speaker 1: contact we get in games. We see if Tim tebowl
- 27:59Speaker 1: can make the transition from me in a quarterback to
- 28:01Speaker 1: be in a position player, a tied in h back
- 28:03Speaker 1: or whatever it is they're gonna use them. There's only
- 28:05Speaker 1: one way to find out that put him right right
- 28:08Speaker 1: in there, and that might even hold until the first
- 28:12Speaker 1: preseason games. I mean, we'll watch it in training camp,
- 28:16Speaker 1: but I think that's gonna be the storyline of the
- 28:18Speaker 1: first preseason game is when he's on the field us
- 28:22Speaker 1: when it's a lie. That's when whatever they're planning for him,
- 28:26Speaker 1: uh you know. I think that's the interesting part. If
- 28:30Speaker 1: they're planning to use him in an unusual way, do
- 28:34Speaker 1: you even speed in preseason? But he's gotta play in
- 28:37Speaker 1: the preseason show he belonged. So it's that's a little
- 28:40Speaker 1: bit of a weird dynamic because I just personally believe
- 28:44Speaker 1: that he was gonna be on the team. There's gonna
- 28:46Speaker 1: be elements where they use the skill set. But do
- 28:48Speaker 1: you want to show that again your week one preseason opponent.
- 28:53Speaker 1: I don't know so, but yeah, I agree with buck
- 28:57Speaker 1: you there. As far as mine, I'll say Travis DPN
- 29:01Speaker 1: because I would package that with Laviska Janals. He's had
- 29:06Speaker 1: a newcomer, but I want to see how they're going
- 29:08Speaker 1: to use those guys. I think that's one of the
- 29:10Speaker 1: key stories of the offense, is this eights BacT that
- 29:13Speaker 1: Urban keeps talking about. They use are one way in college,
- 29:17Speaker 1: but it stands to reason it will be used differently
- 29:19Speaker 1: in the NFL, just like River Lawrence will play differently
- 29:22Speaker 1: in the NFL in terms of running when he was
- 29:25Speaker 1: in college. So how they use that, how they try
- 29:28Speaker 1: to translate that position. Travis DPN with a nod to Chenal,
- 29:32Speaker 1: who's had a new comper. He doesn't question. I am
- 29:35Speaker 1: going to go with a couple of blockers, a Walker
- 29:40Speaker 1: Little and Chris man Hurts. Is this going to be this?
- 29:48Speaker 1: You know what? What can Little do? I mean, we've
- 29:50Speaker 1: seen him move and that's about it. He's got the
- 29:52Speaker 1: big body and all that. And in preseason Game one
- 29:55Speaker 1: he should have some significant playing time in that game,
- 29:58Speaker 1: second half most likely. And then um for man Hurts.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Can he be that run blocking tight end that was advertised?
- 30:06Speaker 1: I just want to see him push some people around.
- 30:08Speaker 1: I know that's really not the most exciting too the world,
- 30:12Speaker 1: but okay, this is where we're seeing if people can
- 30:16Speaker 1: move the furniture around I'm okay with that whole. So
- 30:20Speaker 1: we get a chance to see I mean a little
- 30:22Speaker 1: is a massive I mean a massive human saw him today.
- 30:26Speaker 1: I mean he's a huge Stanford grad by the way,
- 30:28Speaker 1: graduated this weekend. So I'm with that. I'm okay. Like
- 30:34Speaker 1: in the trenches, the man Hurts is interesting too because
- 30:38Speaker 1: how's he gonna block? But he's also looked more capable,
- 30:41Speaker 1: more agile as a receiver. I think a lot of
- 30:45Speaker 1: people expected, so Man Hurts, He's definitely a good choice.
- 30:49Speaker 1: You know, how is he going to fit into the offense?
- 30:52Speaker 1: Will they be a little better at tight end? And
- 30:54Speaker 1: maybe observers are believing because of some of the things
- 30:56Speaker 1: you can do in addition to blocking. So I kind
- 30:59Speaker 1: of feeling to go catch more passes in this offense
- 31:02Speaker 1: to people void. That's it for everyone asked today, And
- 31:06Speaker 1: that's it for Jaguars reporters. Bucky Brooks on for the
- 31:10Speaker 1: first time with us on This Reporter's podcast. Thank you
