- 1:02[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited to get into it.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_00]: See what they have to say.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I've given you my opinion on the Jaguars and training camp quite a bit.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to continue to do that here.
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: Provide the best coverage we possibly can.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_00]: And so we're going to go ahead and dive into it.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: Going to share the screen with you all so you can see it as well.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_00]: NFL.com, what you need to know for the Jacksonville Jaguars here.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_00]: Cornerback slash wide receiver Travis Hunter.
- 1:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:28[SPEAKER_00]: It's Travis Hunter's world world is living in it.
- 1:30[SPEAKER_00]: I've been telling you all that for months, but I'll go ahead and read this for y'all.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: Cornerback slash wide receiver Travis Hunter was the top prospect in rating and intrigue coming into April's draft and the Jaguar strategies to acclimate him into the NFL.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_00]: World has been discussed at Nazim around the league early on in the workouts.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_00]: Jaguar is limited him to one side of the ball per session, but started mixing things up as the weeks went on.
- 1:54[SPEAKER_00]: They did that on the last practice.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine though.
- 1:58[SPEAKER_00]: And Coach Lam Cohen has teased that the training camp will feature a big ramp up and how much Hunter is expected to pull double duty to prepare him for in-season responsibilities.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_00]: These first practices and full pads will be crucial for the dynamic, dual threat development, as well as the best indication of just and how much Jacksonville is actually planning on using him on each side of the ball.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_00]: It's Travis Hunter, man.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_00]: It is the Travis Hunter show.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be wild out there.
- 2:26[SPEAKER_00]: The fan engagement for Travis Hunter.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be feeding off of the crowd.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd is going to be feeding off of him.
- 2:33[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, we will see more about how they're going to attack this next step, this next phase, right?
- 2:42[SPEAKER_00]: How how this is all going to work.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_00]: And I still think offense is going to be a higher percentage than defense.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: But they are going to try to have him on both sides of the ball and I think he can play both sides of the ball.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_00]: It's about finding that balance from a preparation standpoint, practice standpoint, all these things.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_00]: And it will be fascinating to see how it goes here in training camp for a Travis Hunter.
- 3:09[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait for it.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait to see him out there on Wednesday, along with another pretty important football player in Jacksonville.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_00]: Jaguar's franchise quarterback and whether you like it or not, he's the Jaguar's franchise quarterback.
- 3:22[SPEAKER_00]: But that's where they have the number two story line here is Trevor Lawrence is no stranger to the pressure of rebounding under a new head coach after a rough season.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_00]: Pairing their young star with new head coach Cohen, Liam Cohen, who led Baker, may feel back into prominence while with the buck and ears.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville will be hoping
- 3:40[SPEAKER_00]: The coach's tutelage and scheme can do the same for Lawrence.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_00]: Camp will provide the first look at their this new partnership with the added dimension of Lawrence coming back after his first season missing extended time due to injury.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_00]: The development of chemistry between Lawrence and the multiple new past catchers behind last year's leader Brian Thomas Jr.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_00]: will also be a storyline to watch.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_00]: This is some.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_00]: The way this is written is interesting.
- 4:07[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to dive too much into that, but.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with everything said here.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that Trevor Lawrence has a whole lot of pressure.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_00]: Internally, I'm sure he has put a lot of pressure on himself because he didn't play at his best last year consistently enough.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_00]: But look, I mean, the guy still is not even into his new contract.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_00]: The new contract starts next year.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_00]: So he's gonna be the Jaguar's franchise quarterback.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think he will play excellent under Liam Cohen and with this new offense that he's bringing in here and Liam Cohen's offense.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, just go watch Tampa.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_00]: There were so many easy button plays.
- 4:53[SPEAKER_00]: Whether it be for the running backs, the quarterback, there are severs.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be a nine day compared to what you saw.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of that is just modern mechanizations of offensive football.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_00]: You talk about motion.
- 5:13[SPEAKER_00]: Not only pre-snap motion, but motion at the snap, you're getting guys moving closer to full speed at the snap, gives them an advantage.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: You talk about the screen game, the quick game, misdirections, being able to do all these different things from different alignments, being able to run the ball.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: It's just it's been awesome to see Liam Cohen and Tampa and I think it's gonna be awesome to see what he's able to do here in Jacksonville with Trevor Lawrence who is a much more talented physically quarterback than Baker Mayfield Now as far as him coming back from injury.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_00]: I mean he's been back from injury.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_00]: He's been throwing for a long time.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like and that's another thing like
- 5:56[SPEAKER_00]: A couple times it feels like they're kind of referring to this training camp as the first time you're going to see them.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_00]: They've been at Mini Camp in OTAs, right?
- 6:06[SPEAKER_00]: And to start training camp, you're not going to have full pads.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to have full contact all that stuff.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_00]: That's not going to be until next week.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_00]: So that's something that keep in mind as well.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be these first practices of training camp in full pads.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_00]: That's next week, right?
- 6:23[SPEAKER_00]: Just keep that in mind.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_00]: Don't want anybody to think that you're going to be out there Wednesday and you're going to be seeing all this hit and full contact and stuff.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: Number three here is running back, Travis ETN has held the lead back role for his three seasons in Jacksonville, but suffered mightily last year going from two hundred sixty seven carries for one thousand eight yards and eleven touchdowns in twenty twenty three.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_00]: to one hundred fifty carries for five hundred fifty eight yards and two touchdowns last season and getting passed by tank bigsby for the team lead and rushing yards all that led to rumors swirling earlier this offseason that both cone and eating shut down the talk though both cone and each other it was also you know as much about tank bigsby you know going in draft and basial tootin and liquid alan as well right
- 7:10[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I think that the way this is written, the wording and sentence structure is very interesting.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_00]: You might know what I'm trying to insinuate, but I'm not going to go there.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_00]: Nevertheless, ETN's position seems shakier than this time last year, and Camp could be a chance for Bigzby to gain more ground on him, and the team's two new drafted running backs, okay?
- 7:32[SPEAKER_00]: So we're doing knowledge out there to snatch away snaps, or for ETN to lock in the starting spot for a fourth year.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think we will see a committee of sorts no matter what.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_00]: I think you will see tank bigs beyond the field.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_00]: I think you will see Travis ETN on the field.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's still my expectation that thanks to Travis ETN's ability to dominate in space and to be a really effective past catcher and a passable past protector.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_00]: He has the inside track at being the Jaguars.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_00]: Snap leader at the running back position.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_00]: You know tank bigsby while he might be the best poor runner
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: regardless of scheme, setting, et cetera, fumbles of all that.
- 8:14[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a basal student.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_00]: He's just, overall, he's been worse in past protection than Travis E. D. and there has for his two years and he has proven to be ineffective in the passing game as a receiver.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_00]: So he's limited despite being a really talented back with the ball in his hands, basal student.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_00]: Fumbling issues that Virginia Tech.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: First day out there, Fumble the ball.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see how that plays out.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_00]: Lee Quint Allen is the least exciting athlete of the three.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_00]: But he doesn't fumble the ball.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: He's great in pass protection.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great pass catcher.
- 8:56[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a lot of intrigue.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: I think there absolutely is a lot of intrigue with the running back position.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_00]: So this NFL.com's top three storylines for the Jaguars and who wrote this coralsmith digital content producer.
