0:40
Speaker 1: begin this week with Doug Peterson's Thursday announcement of a
0:43
Speaker 1: schedule change for next week's mandatory mini camp. I'm still
0:47
Speaker 1: having the mandatory UH mini camp mandatory three days, but
0:51
Speaker 1: I'm only doing the rookie selected vets and are injured
0:55
Speaker 1: players and that injured players or guys that you know,
0:59
Speaker 1: maybe finish the season with an injury they worked all offseason.
1:03
Speaker 1: You know, they just require them to stay here and
1:05
Speaker 1: and still get treatment and rehab, and so it's a
1:08
Speaker 1: chance to really work with our with our young players
1:11
Speaker 1: and some of the selected vets um on a little
1:13
Speaker 1: more of a one on one basis. And so we're
1:15
Speaker 1: gonna do that next week. So the veterans are done. Uh,
1:18
Speaker 1: they were thrilled. They were thrilled. I mean, listen, they've
1:20
Speaker 1: they've worked extremely hard. We've had great attendance all spring. Um,
1:24
Speaker 1: we had the three day you know, extre minicamp back
1:26
Speaker 1: in back in April. Um, you know, and the guys
1:29
Speaker 1: are the guys are in a good spot. So UM
1:32
Speaker 1: I felt I felt it was the right time, you know,
1:35
Speaker 1: to to give them a little little lecture rest before
1:37
Speaker 1: we get ready to get cranked up in July. No,
1:40
Speaker 1: it's all based on what they've done. UM. You know,
1:42
Speaker 1: I've done this kind of thing in the past. But
1:44
Speaker 1: at the same time, I wanted to I wanted to
1:46
Speaker 1: see this group work and work together. UM. You know,
1:49
Speaker 1: it wasn't final until you know, just within the last
1:53
Speaker 1: week or so for me, uh to make to make
1:55
Speaker 1: the decision. And again, these guys have worked extremely hard,
1:58
Speaker 1: They've earned it, they deserve it, and UM, you know
2:01
Speaker 1: we got done, um as a staff what we needed
2:03
Speaker 1: to get done, and UM, we'll get ready for camp
2:06
Speaker 1: the full Doug Peterson press conference available on Jaguars dot
2:09
Speaker 1: com with the Jaguars social media channels Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Now,
2:13
Speaker 1: with many of the veterans out of here for the
2:15
Speaker 1: summer and next week's mandatory minicamp reduced in size, the
2:19
Speaker 1: focus will then shift to Peterson's first training camp with
2:22
Speaker 1: the Jaguars starting in late July. On the Huddle Up
2:25
Speaker 1: Podcast Wednesday, NFL Network analyst Buckey Brooks, John Ojan and
2:28
Speaker 1: I talked about what to expect, what's camp arrives a
2:32
Speaker 1: lot of those guys. You have the player coach reputation. Um,
2:37
Speaker 1: if you talk to the players you play for him,
2:41
Speaker 1: sometimes laugh and say you think he's a players coach. OA.
2:43
Speaker 1: The first couple weeks of training camp, Tony Dungey was
2:46
Speaker 1: the same way the players coach, right, if you talk
2:48
Speaker 1: to those guys, first couple weeks of cold straining camp
2:50
Speaker 1: when I was covering him, maybe not the the incredible
2:54
Speaker 1: level of contact, but he ran him. Now he was
2:56
Speaker 1: a dB and and those guys ran and ran and ran. Uh.
3:00
Speaker 1: Sometimes people thought too much, so Bucky. Sometimes those ex players,
3:04
Speaker 1: you know, they have the respect to players, and they're
3:09
Speaker 1: gonna and they're gonna be smart once the preseason gets there.
3:13
Speaker 1: But they also understand, especially the older guys, they believe
3:16
Speaker 1: you got a hit to get ready. Like you said,
3:17
Speaker 1: so does the players coach, But he does believe in that. Yeah.
3:21
Speaker 1: Then the one thing that he has advantage of because
3:24
Speaker 1: there's so many former players on the staff, they all
3:27
Speaker 1: can also understand, hey, we gotta get ready to play,
3:30
Speaker 1: and there's there's a certain way of mythology that you
3:33
Speaker 1: have to follow to get ready to play. And so
3:36
Speaker 1: if you want to be a physical team, if we're
3:38
Speaker 1: going to kind of fancy ourselves as being the bullies
3:41
Speaker 1: on the block where you gotta knock people around, and
3:43
Speaker 1: you gotta get used to knocking people around because that's
3:46
Speaker 1: the style that we want to put on tape, that's
3:48
Speaker 1: the style that we want to play with because that
3:50
Speaker 1: gives us an advantage. And so you have to establish
3:53
Speaker 1: that earlier. You gotta establish the brand. You know, the
3:56
Speaker 1: brand is toughness, effort, all of that stuff. In the
4:00
Speaker 1: you scale it back and you begin to kind of
4:02
Speaker 1: you here to some of the you know, the new
4:04
Speaker 1: school protocols when it comes to getting your players ready,
4:07
Speaker 1: how to get them the game day feeling like they're
4:10
Speaker 1: fresh and ready to go, but they have to they
4:12
Speaker 1: have to kind of battle it out. They have to
4:14
Speaker 1: go through some hard stuff to get ready to be
4:16
Speaker 1: able to play the way that they want to play
4:17
Speaker 1: in the regular season. I see this, Bucky, and it
4:20
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily a Jaguar specific question, but I'm interested in
4:24
Speaker 1: your take because you played in an era that I
4:28
Speaker 1: would still consider old school. I would I would consider
4:30
Speaker 1: the mid nineties still it was pre the new CB
4:34
Speaker 1: A certainly um but with such a limited amount of
4:40
Speaker 1: opportunity to tackle until the regular season begins. I mean,
4:44
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable really that these guys play a sport that
4:49
Speaker 1: is tackle football and have really an incredibly small number
4:54
Speaker 1: of times they can actually hit. In your view, haven't
4:57
Speaker 1: seen the arc of the last maybe thirty years the NFL.
5:00
Speaker 1: Is it a less physical game once they get to
5:02
Speaker 1: the regular season? Now? Has that all changed that in
5:05
Speaker 1: your view? Uh? The rules have changed some of the
5:09
Speaker 1: physicality and legislated some of the big hitting out But
5:12
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, JP and John, the
5:14
Speaker 1: teams that vois trophy at the end are the teams
5:17
Speaker 1: that are rough and rugged. Because when we think about
5:20
Speaker 1: playoff football and how playoff football has to be played.
5:22
Speaker 1: When everything is on the line, you have to be
5:24
Speaker 1: a physical team. It's hard for it for nest team
5:26
Speaker 1: to kind of walk the gauntlet to be able to
5:28
Speaker 1: make it to the end. And so what you can do, though,
5:32
Speaker 1: is you can do it in a different way to
5:34
Speaker 1: get the physicals work that you need to be done.
5:36
Speaker 1: So you don't necessarily have to be in full pass
5:39
Speaker 1: but you can have your upper zone show to pass
5:41
Speaker 1: and helmets and thud up. You can do all of
5:44
Speaker 1: these things and use all the apparatus as out there,
5:47
Speaker 1: the donuts we've seen, the remote tackling dummies and all
5:50
Speaker 1: those things. You still can get on those to get
5:53
Speaker 1: the contact that you need to get done without it
5:56
Speaker 1: necessarily accounting as a full contact day. But the best
6:00
Speaker 1: teams the teams that tackle the best of the teams
6:02
Speaker 1: that tackle every day. And so you have to find
6:05
Speaker 1: a way to do that and do it and maybe
6:07
Speaker 1: a non traditional way. But I would expect to see
6:10
Speaker 1: a team that wants to play physical, that wants to tackle, well,
6:13
Speaker 1: they're gonna tackle every day. And I will say this,
6:16
Speaker 1: the teams that have maybe a little more edge to
6:19
Speaker 1: them when it comes to the physicality and practice. There's
6:22
Speaker 1: a confidence that comes with that on game day if
6:26
Speaker 1: it's done the right way. Hey man, we work harder
6:28
Speaker 1: with physical So when we play on Sundays, we're going
6:31
Speaker 1: to impose our will on the other team because they
6:33
Speaker 1: don't work like we work, and they don't pound it
6:36
Speaker 1: like we pounded. JP You've been known to thud up
6:39
Speaker 1: sometimes in the morning before you kind of it's my favorite.
6:43
Speaker 1: It is funny though, like if if you let's say
6:46
Speaker 1: you went into a coma ninety eight you're a football fan,
6:49
Speaker 1: and all you remembered was the seven man sled and
6:53
Speaker 1: like full contact two day practices. You woke up in
6:57
Speaker 1: two with all these robotic tackling dummies, controls and donuts
7:03
Speaker 1: and drones, and like, what is going It's a totally
7:07
Speaker 1: different world now they've used the technology to uh, you know,
7:10
Speaker 1: since they've changed some of the rules. The technology helps
7:12
Speaker 1: out to your point there, Bucky, it's just a totally
7:15
Speaker 1: different world than it was forty years ago. The Huddle

Speaker 1: of podcast each Wednesday on Jaguars dot Com, through the
7:20
Speaker 1: podcast Leak, or subscribe to the Official Jaguars Podcast Network
7:24
Speaker 1: wherever you download your pods. A couple of Jaguars players
7:27
Speaker 1: joined us this week. First off, safety Ray Shawn Jenkins.
7:30
Speaker 1: On the ozone podcast Friday, he discussed the recovery from
7:34
Speaker 1: a severe ankle injury last season. I feel pretty good
7:37
Speaker 1: right now. I've been practicing with the guys. As far
7:40
Speaker 1: as individual drills, I've been cutting on it. I haven't
7:44
Speaker 1: really been thinking about it too much, so it feels
7:46
Speaker 1: really really good. Shout out to Dr Vossler who did
7:49
Speaker 1: my surgery. Um, like you said, I actually snapped my bone.
7:53
Speaker 1: You know. I had to get a I had to
7:55
Speaker 1: get a plate in, six screws in it, you know,
7:58
Speaker 1: with a tight rope. I want to say so mentally
8:01
Speaker 1: I'm good, though, I will say just because this isn't
8:04
Speaker 1: the first time I've had to go through something like this,
8:08
Speaker 1: and I have back surgery in college in two thousand
8:10
Speaker 1: and fourteen. I was out twenty months with that. So
8:14
Speaker 1: with this one, I was only out five months, you know,
8:16
Speaker 1: So to me, that was that That's a blessing to me,
8:19
Speaker 1: you know. So some good news is this is just
8:22
Speaker 1: some injuries that are severe, which this was a tough one,
8:25
Speaker 1: can be ones that physically it's difficult. Yeah, it can
8:28
Speaker 1: be career ending. Doesn't sound like that, No, no, not
8:31
Speaker 1: at all. I feel when I when I tell you,
8:33
Speaker 1: I literally feel like nothing happened to my leg at all.
8:36
Speaker 1: And thank God, you know for that, and you know,
8:39
Speaker 1: like I said, shout out Dr Vussler for that as well. So, um,
8:43
Speaker 1: it can be a good thing or a bad thing
8:45
Speaker 1: depending on how you look at it and how you
8:47
Speaker 1: approach it. And I'm approaching it, you know. Very Optimistic
8:50
Speaker 1: Bow podcast on Jaguars dot Com and the Official Jaguars
8:54
Speaker 1: podcast network on Jaguars Happy Our Radio. Thursday afternoon, Jaguars
8:58
Speaker 1: defensive end and out side linebacker Josh Allen joined me
9:02
Speaker 1: and explained what yet another defensive scheme will do for
9:05
Speaker 1: him and how it's being taught. Well, how different is
9:08
Speaker 1: hight called will scheme and what does it do for
9:12
Speaker 1: a guy like you? Oh man? His scheme is just
9:15
Speaker 1: so it's so different in so many different ways. If
9:19
Speaker 1: that makes I don't know, that was a little The
9:21
Speaker 1: way I feel like this deference is is built upon
9:24
Speaker 1: and the way he's teaching it to us, it's real professional,
9:29
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's real Okay, this is
9:32
Speaker 1: a call Yet we're gonna get a lot of stuff done.
9:35
Speaker 1: But study the film, study how we run it, you
9:39
Speaker 1: know what you need to do, execute it. But he's
9:42
Speaker 1: also teaching it us in a way of as football players,
9:45
Speaker 1: not just you know, we don't just get a play,
9:48
Speaker 1: write it down, we'll walk through it. Is he's telling
9:51
Speaker 1: us the reason why we call this play in a
9:53
Speaker 1: situation that we would call this play. And so he's
9:56
Speaker 1: getting bringing us more situational awareness. And plus he played
9:59
Speaker 1: the game, so now he can speak to us in
10:01
Speaker 1: a way of okay, like the little things like you know,
10:06
Speaker 1: one of our also back like if I'm drifting, you
10:08
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Hey, we don't need to drift
10:10
Speaker 1: because if you dripped. Now, if we've got this in
10:12
Speaker 1: breaking right right here, so when you get to your
10:14
Speaker 1: point set right here and now you play off of that.
10:16
Speaker 1: So just having that awareness now, especially for me, I'm
10:20
Speaker 1: year four now and so I kind of can pick
10:23
Speaker 1: up on things a little a lot easier. Uh So
10:25
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I think it's it's real beneficial
10:29
Speaker 1: because that's where you know, I want to improve my game.
10:32
Speaker 1: I was just in play skills, you know what I'm saying,
10:35
Speaker 1: or taking it to the next level, and I feel
10:37
Speaker 1: like just with him and other coaches around, I feel
10:40
Speaker 1: like we all are taking our game to the next level.
10:43
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm really excited about. Jaguars Happy Our Radio.
10:46
Speaker 1: It's Thursdays at four o'clock on ten to x L
10:48
Speaker 1: a M and Jacksonville, Jaguars dot Com, or of course,
10:51
Speaker 1: the Jaguars social media channels. Wednesday evenings, select season ticket
10:56
Speaker 1: members were invited to an evening with Doug Peterson and
10:58
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence the Stadium. It's streamed live on Jaguars dot
11:02
Speaker 1: Com and the Jags social channels. Brian Sexton asked about
11:06
Speaker 1: what it takes to build a championship team and mindset.
11:09
Speaker 1: How many of you guys go back to. So one
11:15
Speaker 1: thing that we haven't done here is win a championship
11:18
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, but both of you guys have won them. So, Doug,
11:23
Speaker 1: as you put together this program, what are the most
11:26
Speaker 1: important things you're looking to build that championship culture that
11:29
Speaker 1: sets it apart from the past, you know, And that's
11:33
Speaker 1: that's a great question, because I think there's there's several
11:36
Speaker 1: ways that you can win a championship, but I think
11:39
Speaker 1: the number one ingredient is to have high character players. Uh,
11:43
Speaker 1: players that um, you know, are on time to meetings,
11:47
Speaker 1: they're they're on time to practice, they're they're great in
11:50
Speaker 1: the community, They're great with the fans. You know, their
11:53
Speaker 1: their their leaders amongst themselves. You know. The thing, the
11:56
Speaker 1: thing that I've challenged this team with is everybody can leave,
12:00
Speaker 1: not just not just one guy. It's if he doesn't
12:02
Speaker 1: have to bear the burden of leadership. You know, it
12:05
Speaker 1: falls on me, it falls on the assistant coaches, and
12:07
Speaker 1: it falls on the entire football team. But high character
12:10
Speaker 1: guys that we bring here to Jacksonville because they they
12:14
Speaker 1: love football, They have a passion for football, and and
12:17
Speaker 1: they want to win, I mean bottom line, as they
12:19
Speaker 1: want to win their competitors and and the teams that
12:22
Speaker 1: I've either been a part of as a player and
12:25
Speaker 1: and or coached, we always had high character players in
12:28
Speaker 1: the right position. Now, listen, you gotta have talent. No,
12:30
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, you gotta have talent, but you
12:33
Speaker 1: gotta have high character guys in those positions, and uh
12:36
Speaker 1: that that will kind of supersede anything that comes your
12:39
Speaker 1: way during the regular season. Sure, you came in with
12:42
Speaker 1: the championship pedigree and obviously a winning program at Clemson.
12:46
Speaker 1: What do you see now with a year under your
12:48
Speaker 1: belt that's important from your perspective to lift this thing
12:51
Speaker 1: higher Besides all the things obviously Doug mentioned, high quality
12:54
Speaker 1: people and great players. Yeah, I think he I mean
12:57
Speaker 1: he hit the nail on the head. Um. Obviously, I
13:00
Speaker 1: haven't won a Super Bowl yet, and that's a little
13:02
Speaker 1: different than win a national championship. But I was fortunate
13:04
Speaker 1: enough to be able to do that. And I think
13:06
Speaker 1: any team, um, the special nous of that team is
13:09
Speaker 1: all based on accountability, trusting one another, and that includes
13:13
Speaker 1: coaching staff, um support staff, all the players. And I
13:17
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing. And I go back to
13:18
Speaker 1: Clemson and our national championship team, and there was just
13:21
Speaker 1: that sense of accountability and trust, but also that sense
13:25
Speaker 1: of if if someone wasn't doing what they needed to do,
13:27
Speaker 1: we had enough accountability to be able to check one
13:30
Speaker 1: another in a respectful way and really no stone was
13:35
Speaker 1: left unturned. And that's where I see where this place
13:37
Speaker 1: is headed. When you have, you know, some of your
13:39
Speaker 1: players that are supposed to be your best players, who
13:41
Speaker 1: are your most accountable players, like he was saying on
13:44
Speaker 1: time to meetings work the hardest. Um. That's that's what
13:47
Speaker 1: you have to have to build a great team, and
13:48
Speaker 1: that's what we're building right now before archive available on

15:50

15:53
Speaker 1: you we thought we're gonna be good at something moving forward,
15:56

Speaker 1: think that's just kind of the van flow of a
16:01
Speaker 1: season where teams evolved the season. This season goes and
16:05
Speaker 1: guys are in, guys are out, you're playing this team
16:08
Speaker 1: that team. You'll kind of feature different things. But you know,
16:10
Speaker 1: we feel like we got a lot of offense in
16:12
Speaker 1: a lot of at least what we want to accomplish.
16:14
Speaker 1: And then probably we're able to add kind of some
16:16
Speaker 1: bells and whistles and try to mess with guys and
16:18
Speaker 1: and stress them a little bit. And then the mental
16:20
Speaker 1: aspect of learning the system. Uh, and guys are really
16:23
Speaker 1: receptive to that. Do you do you have a feel
16:25
Speaker 1: right now? You know, let the offense is gonna be
16:27
Speaker 1: a balance. Well, we think so, we think so, but uh,
16:30
Speaker 1: you know, again that's it's a case by case deal.
16:32
Speaker 1: There's gonna be games where you go in and say
16:34
Speaker 1: this is we're playing Team X y Z. We're gonna
16:36
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball over the yard. We're playing
16:38
Speaker 1: this team, we're gonna have to run the ball, and
16:39
Speaker 1: we we just want the ability to be able to
16:41
Speaker 1: do what we need to do to put our guys
16:42
Speaker 1: in position to win. And so whatever that looks like, uh,
16:46
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you on Saturday going into the game. Maybe,
16:49
Speaker 1: but we'll see how it goes and what we want
16:52
Speaker 1: to do. But we feel like we have enough in
16:54
Speaker 1: and the guys understand it well enough, and we will
16:56
Speaker 1: as we go into a game plan to be able
16:58
Speaker 1: to do what we need to do to put our positions,
16:59
Speaker 1: but our guys in position to win. Quarterbacks coach Mike
17:02
Speaker 1: McCoy has been employed at every level of coaching in
17:05
Speaker 1: the NFL, from an offensive assistant to a position coach,
17:08
Speaker 1: to an offensive coordinator and of course a head coach.
17:11
Speaker 1: But having played the position gives him the ability to
17:14
Speaker 1: see what Trevor Lawrence is seeing and he understands what
17:17
Speaker 1: Lawrence went through as a rookie. Well, you're gonna get
17:20
Speaker 1: better with time. You know. It's tough to come in
17:21
Speaker 1: the NFL as a rookie and play quarterback for them.
17:25
Speaker 1: There's so much to learn, not only learning new system,
17:28
Speaker 1: you're learning you know, where you're playing with new teammates. Uh,
17:32
Speaker 1: the speed of the game, just the NFL game itself.
17:35
Speaker 1: It takes time. You're gonna there's gonna be some growing pains,
17:38
Speaker 1: and you always understand that. Well. I think the great
17:40
Speaker 1: thing about it is that we've all been there. We've
17:42
Speaker 1: we've played the position, We've thrown an interception, we've missed
17:45
Speaker 1: the pass, we've made some mistakes before. We understand. You know,
17:49
Speaker 1: it's not easy to play the position. Um, So it's
17:52
Speaker 1: the big thing we've stretched him is just communication. Tell
17:55
Speaker 1: us everything you're seeing, how you're doing it, and we're
17:57
Speaker 1: gonna try to do whatever we can to help ever
18:00
Speaker 1: be the best player he possibly could be. Jim Bob
18:02
Speaker 1: Cooter has been an assistant in the NFL since two
18:04
Speaker 1: thousand nine, and he worked his way up to offensive
18:07
Speaker 1: coordinator of the Lions from teen. He's now the passing
18:11
Speaker 1: game coordinator for the Jaguars and explained what this offense
18:14
Speaker 1: could do with the personnel available. It really has become
18:18
Speaker 1: a mismatch league, especially in the past game, especially as
18:21
Speaker 1: you get into sort of the third downs. As you
18:23
Speaker 1: get into sort of the red zone, you get a
18:25
Speaker 1: lot more man coverage, you get a lot more matchups.
18:28
Speaker 1: Who are they matching up with Christian kurk? Alright, what
18:32
Speaker 1: about Zay Jones? What about Evan Ingram? What about Marvin Jones?
18:34
Speaker 1: About Travis A. E. T. N? Who else can we
18:37
Speaker 1: put on the field? How can we dictate certain matchups? Well,
18:40
Speaker 1: sometimes when you play certain opponents, they may have two
18:45
Speaker 1: really good cover guys, but maybe that third one is
18:47
Speaker 1: not quite as good. Well, who's that third one? Garden?
18:50
Speaker 1: Can can our guy go beat him? How are they
18:51
Speaker 1: going to match him up? To have someone and obviously
18:55
Speaker 1: wide receivers they major in the past game right, tight
18:58
Speaker 1: ends usually do a little bit of both. Running backs
19:00
Speaker 1: usually do a little bit of both. Uh. To have
19:02
Speaker 1: guys at all three positions that can be mismatches, um
19:07
Speaker 1: is really fun for us as a coaching staff as
19:09
Speaker 1: we start drawing things up and trying to you know,
19:11
Speaker 1: trying to do whatever we can do on Sunday to
19:13
Speaker 1: draw up that touchdown play or that third down conversion. Uh,
19:16
Speaker 1: the more guys we have that can get open, the better.
19:18
Speaker 1: I've always you know, I've always been a been, ave
19:22
Speaker 1: been a fan of like, hey, they let us release
19:24
Speaker 1: five guys. Let's let's get five guys that can get open.
19:27
Speaker 1: Do we have five guys that can win their individual matchups?
19:30
Speaker 1: And in this league there's gonna be great players. There's
19:32
Speaker 1: great players on defense. Sometimes they're gonna cover one of
19:36
Speaker 1: our guys or two of our guys. But what if three,
19:38
Speaker 1: four and five can all get open. So the more
19:40
Speaker 1: guys we can throw out there they can get open,
19:42
Speaker 1: the better for our past game. Now to the running
19:44
Speaker 1: back room. Bernie Parmali and the Jaguars lost Travis E.
19:47
Speaker 1: T And Jr. With a Liz Frank foot injury in
19:50
Speaker 1: the preseason last year, but they still saw him grow
19:53
Speaker 1: off the field. He's done a great job last year.
19:56
Speaker 1: Usually you sit there, you said, Okay, he didn't play
19:58
Speaker 1: no football. What has he done? Well? His body has changed.
20:02
Speaker 1: He's worked hard that way. He worked hard in the classroom,
20:05
Speaker 1: he worked hard at learning the offense. He he knows
20:08
Speaker 1: that we were gonna use them in different positions last year.
20:12
Speaker 1: Guess what, he's a weapon. We're still gonna use them. Um.
20:14
Speaker 1: But also he understands the only way we can do
20:17
Speaker 1: that is by learning and getting into the book, and
20:20
Speaker 1: he's done that. Running back James Robinson suffered an achilles
20:23
Speaker 1: injury near the end of the season, and parmarly talked
20:26
Speaker 1: through his mindset working back competitors want to get back
20:29
Speaker 1: out there, you know. And again you know talking with James,
20:33
Speaker 1: anytime you gotta running back coming off an injury, you
20:36
Speaker 1: gotta say, it's a process. You know, you can't rush
20:38
Speaker 1: the process. Um. The main thing is when you come back,
20:42
Speaker 1: you want to make sure you don't have to look back.
20:45
Speaker 1: So however long it takes for you to get back,
20:49
Speaker 1: so that way you don't have to look back over
20:51
Speaker 1: your shoulders. That's what you have to do. Now. It
20:53
Speaker 1: could be sooner or it may could be later. But
20:56
Speaker 1: your body gotta listen to your body, gotta listen to
20:58
Speaker 1: the trainers. You gotta listen to these guys. But at
21:01
Speaker 1: the same time, what you can do and what you
21:03
Speaker 1: can control, it's your mental you know, making sure you
21:07
Speaker 1: know the offense in and out, and then when it's
21:09
Speaker 1: time to go, then you you don't you don't miss
21:12
Speaker 1: a beat. Wide receivers coach Chris Jackson explained his approach
21:15
Speaker 1: to coaching the wide receivers and working with players on
21:19
Speaker 1: the best practices. I think it's well known that, um,
21:23
Speaker 1: some people say that, you know, maybe the receiver's kind
21:25
Speaker 1: of underachieved last year. That was a big focal point
21:27
Speaker 1: kind of going in the two thousand twenty two UM.
21:29
Speaker 1: And that's another thing that excited me, you know, putting
21:31
Speaker 1: my fingerprint on it. You know, you knew that they
21:33
Speaker 1: were gonna go after some free agents or possibly in
21:36
Speaker 1: the draft, so you know it was gonna be a
21:38
Speaker 1: different room and a different genetic makeup than they had
21:40
Speaker 1: last year. So um. You know, as a former teacher myself,
21:43
Speaker 1: I was excited to get back in the classroom and
21:45
Speaker 1: lay down my foundation and then kind of you know,
21:48
Speaker 1: contorted or tweak at how I wanted to because it's
21:51
Speaker 1: not always my way. And that's why I'm very upfront
21:53
Speaker 1: with the guys, like my egos at the door. Something
21:55
Speaker 1: has worked in the past. From Marvin, who I would ask,
21:57
Speaker 1: you know, in the eleven year veteran, what has the
21:59
Speaker 1: culture been when you've been you know, when it's been good.
22:01
Speaker 1: What has coaches done that you've liked or did not like?
22:04
Speaker 1: So you know, again I have no ego. It's not
22:06
Speaker 1: my way or the highway. It's what can we do collectively,
22:09
Speaker 1: you know, to kind of make this work for everybody.
22:10
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the approach I'll take. And finally,
22:12
Speaker 1: on offense, old line coach Phil Rosser explained the professionalism
22:16
Speaker 1: that Brandon Sheriff brought with him from Washington, plus putting
22:19
Speaker 1: the best five linemen on the field. Brandon has the
22:23
Speaker 1: ability two to lead through example better than anybody I've
22:29
Speaker 1: ever seen. And when you go out there and you
22:31
Speaker 1: watch him practice, he practices the right way. He practices
22:37
Speaker 1: at a speed and a tempo that is is real,
22:41
Speaker 1: and guys feed off that. And then the other thing
22:44
Speaker 1: is is when you're in the meeting room, it doesn't
22:48
Speaker 1: when you're a coach. You get up there and you say, okay,
22:51
Speaker 1: we need to operate, do this, we need to block
22:53
Speaker 1: these guys. This is the technique we want to use.
22:56
Speaker 1: And this is but at the end of the day,
22:59
Speaker 1: the guys who have done it, they're gonna listen to him.
23:02
Speaker 1: And and so Brandon is the kind of guy that
23:05
Speaker 1: in a meeting, hey, you know, he may lean over
23:07
Speaker 1: to you and be like, you know, I would take
23:08
Speaker 1: this hand grip right here and and like those young
23:11
Speaker 1: guys sit there and they eat it up, and they
23:13
Speaker 1: should eat it up because that is a really good
23:16
Speaker 1: football player teaching football. And that's what's important, is is
23:20
Speaker 1: everybody in that meeting room is learning. And it doesn't
23:23
Speaker 1: matter that they're learning from me. They have to learn
23:26
Speaker 1: from each other. And then when it becomes nutcutting time
23:29
Speaker 1: on a Sunday afternoon, they can look at each other
23:31
Speaker 1: and they understand what has to get done because of
23:34
Speaker 1: that communication. Now, is Brandon uh one of the best
23:40
Speaker 1: guards in football? I absolutely believe that with all my
23:43
Speaker 1: heart and and and it feeds off the whole offense
23:47
Speaker 1: season work, you know what I mean. So that that's
23:49
Speaker 1: that's what's been fun to see and and and he's
23:51
Speaker 1: just all around like he he knows, he knows how
23:55
Speaker 1: to do it. He knows how to get the job done.
23:58
Speaker 1: I think that those two things are tied in together.
24:02
Speaker 1: I I think that like when you evaluate a line, okay,
24:07
Speaker 1: you evaluate the whole line, and you don't just evaluate
24:12
Speaker 1: one guy, if that makes any kind of sense. So
24:15
Speaker 1: the best five guys have to be working together. And
24:21
Speaker 1: so like you won't be one of the best five
24:23
Speaker 1: guys if you're not one of the best five guys.
24:27
Speaker 1: If that makes anything. Like, you may have every skill
24:31
Speaker 1: imaginable in the world. You may be six ft siunds
24:35
Speaker 1: and a monster, but if you can't work together, you
24:38
Speaker 1: can't You can't do this for for us. And and
24:42
Speaker 1: I think that all that gets evaluated, and and it's amazing,
24:46
Speaker 1: Like people don't understand, like there's a difference between right
24:49
Speaker 1: guard and left guard, and I mean like and people
24:52
Speaker 1: are like, all right, it plays guard. No, I mean, like,
24:55
Speaker 1: go try doing something with your left hand and are
24:57
Speaker 1: done for It's a lot harder than people think. So
25:00
Speaker 1: all that stuff gets evaluated. All that when me and
25:04
Speaker 1: Todd uh sit down and talk about okay, where do
25:07
Speaker 1: we see people fitting? It all ties into one another.
25:12
Speaker 1: But this group a lot like the group I had
25:16
Speaker 1: in Minnesota where I was very lucky to coach with.
25:19
Speaker 1: They they like each other, and that's not always the case.
25:22
Speaker 1: And when they like each other, and then they start
25:25
Speaker 1: to love each other, and then they start playing for
25:27
Speaker 1: each other, and then it doesn't really matter where they
25:28
Speaker 1: play because they all can speak the same language, if
25:32
Speaker 1: that makes any kind of sense, Because again, these guys
25:36
Speaker 1: are all good football players. They're all here for a reason.
25:41
Speaker 1: Now can they can they what can they do to
25:45
Speaker 1: help us? And that's what we're looking for organizationally. So
25:49
Speaker 1: there are some great competitions and battles that are going
25:52
Speaker 1: to happen here in training camp. And they know and
25:55
Speaker 1: understand what's about to happen in training camp. It's been
25:58
Speaker 1: communicated with them and now we'll just see, you know,
26:02
Speaker 1: what rises and and and go from there. We'll hear
26:05
Speaker 1: from the defensive coaches after this welcome back. Let's hear
26:08
Speaker 1: from special teams coordinator Heath Farwell on the kicking competition
26:12
Speaker 1: between first year player Ryan Santozo and rookie Andrew Mevs.
26:16
Speaker 1: It's been a really good battle. Um, Ryan Santos has
26:19
Speaker 1: done a really good job. He's a guy's loaded with talent.
26:23
Speaker 1: So he's a guy that's been on the edge for
26:25
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And he started out he
26:28
Speaker 1: was punting and kicking, and so that's one thing I
26:29
Speaker 1: want to do is just kind of solidify him into
26:31
Speaker 1: the kicking. And he's done a fantastic job, very talented.
26:36
Speaker 1: Just got to get him more consistent and he's and
26:38
Speaker 1: he did that all all spring. So, UM, I'm really
26:41
Speaker 1: excited where he's headed. Um, you know, he's gonna have
26:43
Speaker 1: about five weeks off and just trying to give him
26:46
Speaker 1: all the tools I can getting into this break. So
26:50
Speaker 1: come training camp. We really got a good battle. And
26:53
Speaker 1: then Andrew mevs. Andrew MeVis Is is a good young
26:57
Speaker 1: player that is very consistent. You know, early on he
27:01
Speaker 1: showed up and it wasn't quite as consistent, but that's
27:03
Speaker 1: part of the deal as part of being a rookie.
27:05
Speaker 1: But then here he was. He finished off the last
27:08
Speaker 1: few practices as good as anybody. So, um, again we
27:11
Speaker 1: got a really good battle that I'm looking forward to seeing. Uh,
27:14
Speaker 1: you know developed come training camp, you know, preseason games,
27:17
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You know, we try to give as
27:18
Speaker 1: much tool as we can this offseason and coach him up,
27:21
Speaker 1: give him some details, and then come training camp. Let's
27:24
Speaker 1: see what they've they've taken all this month and then
27:27
Speaker 1: see what it looks like. Come you know, training camp, practices,
27:29
Speaker 1: preseason games. Who can really stay focused every single practice,
27:34
Speaker 1: every single kick, and we'll see who's who wins the job.
27:36
Speaker 1: And and I think, like I said, I'm excited to
27:38
Speaker 1: see the battle. Farewell also discussed the dynamic returning ability
27:42
Speaker 1: of Jamal Agnew. Yeah, and he's a guy that you know,
27:44
Speaker 1: obviously I've watched for several years. Um, you know, and
27:47
Speaker 1: in fact I tried to get him, you know, all
27:49
Speaker 1: the teams I've been on. So UM, he's a super
27:51
Speaker 1: talented guy. Um. I'm excited to have him one of
27:54
Speaker 1: the one of another reason why I'm here. You know,
27:56
Speaker 1: you got a returner like that, that's that talented, that
27:58
Speaker 1: good um or excited to have him out there for sure. Yeah,
28:01
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a uh. Like I said, I've been
28:03
Speaker 1: kind of taking him slow, pulling him back as much
28:06
Speaker 1: as I can with you know, as far as with
28:07
Speaker 1: the training staff of hole that he wants to go
28:09
Speaker 1: every time, and it's like, hey, buddy, just just relax.
28:13
Speaker 1: We got time, we got time. Let's just make sure
28:15
Speaker 1: he's primed and ready, you know, come week one onto
28:18
Speaker 1: defense now with coordinator Mike called Well and his reaction
28:21
Speaker 1: after coming out of draft weekend with some key defensive players,
28:25
Speaker 1: like I said, I was pleased and happy excited about
28:27
Speaker 1: the guys because you know, the guys that you're getting
28:31
Speaker 1: are quality human beings first and players that you talk
28:36
Speaker 1: to their college coaches, they are the right type of guy.
28:39
Speaker 1: They're wired the right way. They're the guys that you
28:42
Speaker 1: don't have to push them there self motivated and they're
28:45
Speaker 1: good players already and we're just gonna mold them into
28:48
Speaker 1: jag players. Moving along to veteran defensive coach and Jaguar's
28:52
Speaker 1: senior defensive assistant Bob Sutton. And when I say veteran,
28:55
Speaker 1: I mean it. His coaching career started as a grad
28:58
Speaker 1: assistant under both Schembechler a Michigan in nineteen seventy two.
29:02
Speaker 1: He was the defensive coordinator at West Point for eight
29:04
Speaker 1: seasons before becoming head coach of Army for the next
29:07
Speaker 1: nine seasons, ending in nineteen. He then moved to the
29:11
Speaker 1: NFL as an assistant in two thousand. He's been a
29:13
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Jets in Chiefs and he's now
29:16
Speaker 1: entering his second year with the Jaguars. I asked him
29:19
Speaker 1: if a coaching staff filled with former players helps, But
29:22
Speaker 1: I think the one thing, after, you know, doing this
29:24
Speaker 1: for a while in the league, I think players um
29:28
Speaker 1: in the end respect the people that can help them
29:33
Speaker 1: at their position, you know, and and hey, it's helped
29:37
Speaker 1: them get a chance to play, extend their career whatever.
29:41
Speaker 1: So I think one thing about you know, at least
29:43
Speaker 1: I remember when I came in as a long time ago,
29:45
Speaker 1: but you know, I just wondered, like, how are they
29:47
Speaker 1: going to react? And all, you know, I've been a
29:49
Speaker 1: college guy in my whole life, and and what I
29:52
Speaker 1: found out is, hey, you know, if you if what
29:55
Speaker 1: you're doing is helping them, they're gonna listen once they
30:00
Speaker 1: say it's not, they might not they might not listen
30:03
Speaker 1: as intently as you might like. So I think that's
30:07
Speaker 1: one of the things that you know, Mike's a former
30:08
Speaker 1: player obviously, but I think above that, he's an excellent teacher.
30:12
Speaker 1: You know, I really think he's got it, and he's
30:14
Speaker 1: he's got a great command of the room. You know,
30:17
Speaker 1: what's the calling card of this defense going to be?
30:19
Speaker 1: If you had to to kind of sum it up
30:21
Speaker 1: in a pagram, Well, I think I think that's gonna
30:23
Speaker 1: be that's gonna be evolving, you know, it's gonna be uh.
30:26
Speaker 1: You know, this system, you know, is very flexible. You know,
30:31
Speaker 1: it has a lot of parts, a lot of things
30:33
Speaker 1: you can do. It's not it's not just just this
30:36
Speaker 1: or just that. You really have a lot of things
30:39
Speaker 1: you can you can use and call And I think, uh,
30:42
Speaker 1: the systems that I've been like this, usually it gets
30:46
Speaker 1: pushed a little bit to the way the players play,
30:50
Speaker 1: like you know who who's gonna be your main guys,
30:53
Speaker 1: and then you you try to emphasize, which I think
30:55
Speaker 1: is smart. You know, you don't have to ditch your system.
30:57
Speaker 1: But hey, if we have this right now, let's in
31:00
Speaker 1: this way. You know, Uh, if we can rush with
31:03
Speaker 1: four guys, let's rush with foreign covers. May if we camp,
31:06
Speaker 1: then let's rush with many of these guys as we need,
31:08
Speaker 1: and we'll figure out how to cover. But I think
31:11
Speaker 1: that's based on on how our personnel comes along, how
31:14
Speaker 1: they adapt to it. Now to defensive line coach Brentson
31:18
Speaker 1: Buckner and his thoughts on those tackle Devda Hamilton's. When
31:21
Speaker 1: I first watched film, I remember coming out of how
31:24
Speaker 1: to say I did for a big guy. He was explosive.
31:27
Speaker 1: But then I've seen the couple of years the system
31:29
Speaker 1: he's played in sort of like put a fence around
31:33
Speaker 1: that because of the style of football they played. But
31:36
Speaker 1: now since he's been here and read and changing his
31:38
Speaker 1: body and readapting, you see the explosion that he had
31:41
Speaker 1: coming out of out of how state, you know, and
31:44
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize no divide three pound
31:47
Speaker 1: man that can run. And we're starting to see that
31:50
Speaker 1: again on the film because he's unlocking that body now
31:53
Speaker 1: because that's what we're demanding them, you know, Coach Carlway
31:56
Speaker 1: demand he Levin has to the ball. We're running, don't
31:59
Speaker 1: be afraid to get tired. And so you're starting to
32:01
Speaker 1: see him do that, and uh, and it's amazing. And
32:04
Speaker 1: then we're also he's starting to figure out I'm not
32:06
Speaker 1: just a nose guard. I can play D line. And
32:09
Speaker 1: if I can play D line, I can line up
32:11
Speaker 1: in any position and be successful. And so we're starting
32:14
Speaker 1: to see that start to come about, and it's it's
32:16
Speaker 1: gonna make us a better unit and a better defense
32:20
Speaker 1: when we get get him and other guys with that
32:22
Speaker 1: type of mindset. And his initial impressions are fully he
32:26
Speaker 1: has been. He has been big, physical, you know, well
32:31
Speaker 1: mannered kid. Actually ill tell me too nice. I want
32:35
Speaker 1: to be a little mining, but that's just his demeanor.
32:37
Speaker 1: He's just a great kid, works hard, you know what
32:40
Speaker 1: I mean, And you know he knows when to go
32:42
Speaker 1: and when they go. But I told me I wanted
32:44
Speaker 1: to be a bully, but he is. He has been
32:46
Speaker 1: as avatar. He's gonna add a physical presence to our
32:49
Speaker 1: minds that he wake up and choose physicality, and he's
32:52
Speaker 1: gonna bring that mentality to us up front and be
32:56
Speaker 1: another big body guy that can play alone. So now
33:00
Speaker 1: we can play chess with our without d line, you
33:03
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We're not just gonna line up.
33:05
Speaker 1: Everybody gonna be in the same position all the time.
33:07
Speaker 1: You know, we we we had, we had some different ways.
33:09
Speaker 1: We can use those up guys onto the linebacker room
33:12
Speaker 1: now and there's lots of new there for inside linebackers.
33:16
Speaker 1: Coach Tony Gilbert Foyer Lewik came in free agency, of
33:19
Speaker 1: course from the Falcons, but then Devin Lloyd came in
33:22
Speaker 1: the first round and Chad Muma in the third. Gilbert's
33:25
Speaker 1: initial impression of the two rookie draft picks, they're extremely long,
33:30
Speaker 1: extremely smart, intelligent, um they want to learn ball. Like
33:35
Speaker 1: Mike told a story about Devon. It was the first
33:37
Speaker 1: day they were coming in and initially they try to say, hey, leader,
33:41
Speaker 1: rookies alone. He came and found me and we went
33:44
Speaker 1: to start watching film. We started preparing for the men
33:47
Speaker 1: account practice that we was gonna have the next day.
33:49
Speaker 1: So in Chad the same way. So those guys are
33:52
Speaker 1: extremely conscious, they love ball and they want to get better.
33:55
Speaker 1: We wanted smart football players that love ball. They're great people,
33:58
Speaker 1: and that's the guy's in that in that room, those
34:01
Speaker 1: in that defensive room. We got those guys. Moving now
34:04
Speaker 1: to the secondary, starting with safety's coach Cody Grimm. He's
34:08
Speaker 1: the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame lineman Russ Grimm,
34:11
Speaker 1: a member of the famed Hogs offensive line for the
34:14
Speaker 1: then Washington Redskins of the nineteen eighties. For Cody Graham.
34:18
Speaker 1: After a three year NFL playing career as a linebacker,
34:21
Speaker 1: he returned to his alma moderate Virginia Tech for five
34:23
Speaker 1: seasons as a quality control coach, then moved to the
34:26
Speaker 1: Bucceteers the last three seasons as a defensive assistant. He's
34:29
Speaker 1: now with the Jaguars and his first role as a
34:32
Speaker 1: position coach. Grim now has an opportunity to coach second
34:35
Speaker 1: year safety Andre Cisco. I mean, he's a really athletic
34:39
Speaker 1: player and he's got great vision. He's got good range
34:41
Speaker 1: and vision. We obviously don't know anything about the physical
34:44
Speaker 1: side of it yet because we haven't had pads on.
34:46
Speaker 1: But as far as his movement, it's exceptional. And he's
34:50
Speaker 1: a really smart player. You can tell you he takes
34:53
Speaker 1: it serious and he's a professional, and that's all you
34:55
Speaker 1: can ask. He's gonna be just fine. Force. A lot
34:57
Speaker 1: of people could be smart in the in the class
35:00
Speaker 1: and we say it, but when stuff starts moving, you
35:01
Speaker 1: get Jack motions, them jumping the bag, and you gotta
35:05
Speaker 1: control the defense basically from the back end at least
35:07
Speaker 1: the coverage wise, and the linebackers will handle the front,
35:10
Speaker 1: but our safeties handle the coverage. And he's been doing
35:12
Speaker 1: a great job as horse, communicating and adjusting everyone if
35:16
Speaker 1: needed and trying to trying to take it all in.
35:19
Speaker 1: And we wrapped with cornerbacks coach and defensive passing game
35:22
Speaker 1: coordinator to Shay Townsend. He was a fourth round pick
35:25
Speaker 1: of the Steelers in out of Alabama and spent the
35:28
Speaker 1: first twelve years of his playing career in Pittsburgh before
35:31
Speaker 1: his final season in Indianapolis. He's been a cornerbacks coach
35:34
Speaker 1: every season since then, with the Cardinals, Mississippi State, the Titans, Giants, Bears,
35:39
Speaker 1: and now the Jags. He started with his memories of
35:42
Speaker 1: playing against the Jaguars. I remember a couple of posting
35:46
Speaker 1: out roused Jimmie, Jimmy Smith and some Kent battles with
35:49
Speaker 1: kid of McCart in the slot and probably getting red
35:52
Speaker 1: that ran over by Fred Taylor. Idea, So it's a
35:54
Speaker 1: it's a I probably got some scratches, a little bit
35:56
Speaker 1: of blood on the field at all, man, I I
36:02
Speaker 1: would say this. I remember like one of the things
36:06
Speaker 1: that made me excited was when we would come here,
36:09
Speaker 1: how tough it was to play here, Like when the
36:12
Speaker 1: guys put that black on and we would play at night.
36:15
Speaker 1: Um mean, it was. It was a tough environment. And
36:17
Speaker 1: that that's all that's in my mind of what this
36:20
Speaker 1: can become. It's that's how tough it was to play
36:22
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville when they had McCaul and Fred Taylor and
36:26
Speaker 1: they had Big Stroud and those guys on the inside.
36:29
Speaker 1: Later on, it was it was a tough environment to
36:31
Speaker 1: play in, and it makes you excited when you look
36:33
Speaker 1: at the guys in the building. The type of defense
36:36
Speaker 1: that we can become. It makes it it makes it
36:38
Speaker 1: makes some goose bumps comes on my arm from thinking
36:41
Speaker 1: about that feeling when I did play. Then it's on
36:43
Speaker 1: to the new Jaguars cornerback Darius Williams and Townshend's initial
36:47
Speaker 1: impressions of him off the field, plus getting Shaquille Griffin
36:51
Speaker 1: back in the interception game. The one thing that you
36:54
Speaker 1: do like about him is the way that he can
36:56
Speaker 1: take the ball away. You know, one thing that that
36:58
Speaker 1: we believe in and we're gonna the preachers turnovers, and
37:02
Speaker 1: he showed the capability of his career that he can't
37:05
Speaker 1: take the ball away. And then once you talk to
37:07
Speaker 1: him how smart he is, like he's he is a
37:10
Speaker 1: true corner, Like he can talk ball, he understands how
37:13
Speaker 1: to play the position. And so you know, when you
37:15
Speaker 1: get a guy like that, that is a leader, you know,
37:18
Speaker 1: and he's he can take the ball away, he's going
37:20
Speaker 1: to make the defense better. And then Track, you know,
37:22
Speaker 1: always talks about I didn't have any take aways last
37:25
Speaker 1: year on that. Can that get in the guy's head though?
37:29
Speaker 1: And how do you get over that? I think the
37:31
Speaker 1: biggest thing is to get one. You know, once you
37:34
Speaker 1: get one, it's kind of you know, that's what you do.
37:36
Speaker 1: But then it just has to be what the belief is,
37:39
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you know, I tell him. I tell
37:41
Speaker 1: the guys all the time. I was the biggest corner
37:43
Speaker 1: the league. You know, you if you make your simp
37:46
Speaker 1: believe that, you know you are what you think you are.
37:48
Speaker 1: You know, it's just a thing of you know, the
37:50
Speaker 1: belief like that we're going to be one of the
37:53
Speaker 1: top takeaway secondaries in the country and then in the NFL.
37:56
Speaker 1: And that's what you have to believe. We gotta practice
37:58
Speaker 1: it like you gotta you gotta go out every day.
38:00
Speaker 1: You just can't say it, but you gotta see it
38:02
Speaker 1: on tape, like you got to see guys attacking the
38:04
Speaker 1: ball and you have to give them drills where they're
38:06
Speaker 1: attacking the ball. And and then it's just going to
38:08
Speaker 1: carry over to the mindset to the game of being
38:11
Speaker 1: a takeaway team is going to take all eleven, you know.
38:14
Speaker 1: And that's that's the thing that we're all preaching at
38:16
Speaker 1: every position and then finally the nickel cornerback position, and
38:20
Speaker 1: it's important to the Jaguars defense. I think the biggest
38:23
Speaker 1: thing that that happens on the inside is you're in
38:26
Speaker 1: every play. You know, you think about um you think
38:30
Speaker 1: about in baseball, and you might be in the outfield
38:32
Speaker 1: you might get one hit hit to your nine innings,
38:35
Speaker 1: but if you're a catcher or you're a shortstop of third,
38:38
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get a little action the first basement.
38:40
Speaker 1: And that's kind of how the nickel is, like you're
38:42
Speaker 1: not gonna get that, you know, one play on the
38:45
Speaker 1: outside of the corner. You're you're gonna get some run action,
38:47
Speaker 1: like they're gonna run it, and then you're gonna be
38:49
Speaker 1: involved in the past game because typically that's the shorter
38:52
Speaker 1: guy for the route for the quarterback. So it's that
38:54
Speaker 1: position where you have to have a little bit of
38:56
Speaker 1: linebacker ro then you gotta have a lot of dB
38:58
Speaker 1: in you where you're going to be involved earleague. And
39:01
Speaker 1: that's why I like to position. That's one of the
39:02
Speaker 1: positions I played because you didn't have to worry about
39:04
Speaker 1: warming up, you know, and on the outside sometimes if
39:07
Speaker 1: you're that guy, you might go fifty nine plays and
39:10
Speaker 1: then at sixties played, they give you one and they
39:11
Speaker 1: catch it and everybody's mad at you. But at nicole
39:13
Speaker 1: you're getting involved early. And it's just that position where
39:16
Speaker 1: you gotta have the mint out at your backer in
39:18
Speaker 1: the run game and you're according in the past game,
39:20
Speaker 1: so you're you're involved right away. Great stuff from the
39:23
Speaker 1: assistant coaches. We appreciate their time. This week, towards the
