Stadium of the Future, Trevor Lawrence & Assistant Coaches Discuss Offseason Progress | Week in Review: June 9 · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: This is the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review Podcasts presented by
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: TIAA Bank. I'm JP Shadwick with the best of the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: week from Jags Radio, Jaguars dot com, and our social
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: channels Jaguars Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. It's Friday, June ninth,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and plenty from Jaguars assistant coaches in their availability from
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon. That's coming up a little later, But the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: biggest news this week came Wednesday morning when the Jaguars
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: unveiled the renderings for the Stadium of the Future project
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: on First Downtown, Jacksonville, dot Com and the Jaguars social channels.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: The design is state of the art and the area
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: around the stadium is very much involved. I caught up
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with HOK Design Principal Peter Brod and Jaguars President Mark
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Lamping to go through the design and I asked Lamping
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: how we got to this point.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a big duy for sure.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: We first started the discussion, the public dialogue regarding the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: need to deal with the stadium back in twenty sixteen,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and three years ago we began a formal process with
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the City of Jacksonville, and today marks the end of
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: that three year process with the unveiling of the design.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It was a very extensive process. It began with a
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: thorough evaluation of the existing stadium, which led us to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the conclusion that there was a possibility we could meet
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: our needs through a renovation. We then talked to our
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: fans and other stakeholders, primary amongst them the University of Florida,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: University of Georgia, the tax Slayer Bowl, got input from
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: them in terms of what they would like to see
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: in a stadium in the future. We then had a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: very extensive design competition. Firms from across the country presented
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: their conceptual designs, and last December we selected HOK and
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: since then we've been refining the design, working on the constructibility,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: working on pricing, and we were just very excited to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: be able to unveil today what the future could look like.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So Peter, obviously, some of the things that Mark just
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: talked about probably made this project so appealing for HOK
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to try to jump in and get involved.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: What stood out the.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Most, absolutely the potential for this project as a catalyst
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: not only for the surrounding development for all of downtown
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Jacksonville was enormously exciting for us really from the outset
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: of the design. The design process was equally thorough as
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Mark outlined, and we really prioritized fan comfort and fan
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: experience first and foremost throughout every decision made through the
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: design process, and that factors into some of the amenities
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: that you see in the artwork that was unveiled today.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Tremendously excited about that, and it really begins with that
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: experience has shown here walking the promenade and entering through
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: a new landscape and new garden ways that lead you
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: to the concourse and to the front door of the building.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: The concourses themselves now significantly expanded, as shown here, banded
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: to the point where we've now doubled, tripled, and in
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: some areas quadrupled. This width of those concourse spaces a
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: lot of discussion and excitement obviously around the facade and
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: the roof that was designed in such a way again
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: to maximize fan comfort, to reduce solar heat gain, to
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: shield from inclement weather, and additionally it becomes a really
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: signature and iconic element to the design as well. It's seldom,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: I think that renovations are discussed as an icon and
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: this venue certainly has the opportunity to be just that
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: an icon.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So the flexibility of this space, guys, I mean you
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: mentioned some of the other stakeholders in the stadium and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: maybe some ideas down the road for other events that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: could come in here. How important were those discussions in
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the design phase of more seats, less seats, different setups
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and everything.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Certainly it starts with the seats, and it actually starts
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: with the roof too. Maximizing the full usage of this
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: venue in a multipurpose fashion starts with a full roof canopy,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: and so that was central to the design decision from
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: a seating standpoint. Definitely, thinking about flexibility for NFL events,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the ability to play to a home crowd of around
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: sixty two thousand seats was first and foremost part of
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the design, but then the flexibility to expand for multipurpose events.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: For the Florida Georgia Game, we wanted to design the
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: expansion seating in a way that was as seamless as possible,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: and that certainly factors into creating a terrific fan experience
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: for those Florida Georgia fans or attendees of any of
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: these expanded events, Whether that's the Gator Bowl, the College
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: football playoffs, international soccer that was certainly factored into the
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: design thinking too, not just from a seating flexibility standpoint,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: but from a character standpoint to creating a truly international
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: stadium for soccer events.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: We see some of the renderings outside the stadium as well.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: But how important is this stadium and this project to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the city of Jacksonville, in downtown Jacksonville in the future here, Well.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's critical. I mean, I think we're at
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: a very important time in the history of Jacksonville. The
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: city's on fire on every measure, The Jaguars are in
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: ascending position, and you know, the primary purpose is to
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: have our downtown, like so many other downtowns across this
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: country and cities similar size of Jacksonville are smaller or larger,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: to have that downtown become a real economic engine that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: can generate the resources to help invest throughout the community,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: particularly in those those underserved areas of Jacksonville. You know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: what we hope to do is try to replicate the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: impact of what is what's been so positive with the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: growth of the Brooklyn Livilla area that's you know, to
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the to the west of downtown and you can physically
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: see how that investment in the Brooklyn area now is
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: moving eastward towards towards downtown. We think we can replicate that,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: but we would do it on the east side of downtown,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and it means bringing of bringing a new neighborhood where
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: people have a chance to live, where they have a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: chance to work, that serves as a great connector between
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the Saint John's River to the sports complex, to the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: out East neighborhood and beyond, and the stadium being in
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: an important part of that. And it's not just you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: securing the future of the Jaguars, it's it's protecting the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: very important Florida Georgia game that has happened here every
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: year and it's something that is really important for all
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: of us here in Jacksonville. Trying to elevate the Gator
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Bowl so it could be a legitimate candidate to become
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: part of an expanded college football playoffs, to be able
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to tract other events international soccer we mentioned, but concerts
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and events that can make a big impact in this community.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And there isn't a new adm or arena that's being
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: built around the country that isn't being master planned, you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: with an entertainment district as part of it. Because as
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: these rights holders, people that that that make the decision
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: on where these events go, they want to make sure
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that they're that they're fans, that their customers have things
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: to do before, during, and after these events. And an
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: investment like this, even as far as the NFL is concerned,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you know, puts us in a legitimate position to be
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: able to compete for the NFL Draft. I think all
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: of those are big things for the community, and you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I think now is our time.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Next step in this process is getting out in the community.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Fourteen community huddles. I think you're on the schedule for
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: all of them. Mark, you have a busy couple of
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: weeks ahead. What can we expect from these events?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Well, what we want to do is is, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: share our message with the community. I mean, this has
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: been three years worth of work in collaboration with a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: lot of people, but there's a lot of others that
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you know, we haven't heard from yet. And what we
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: want to do is do it in a very formal way.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: So you know, starting Monday and continuing over the next
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: ten days, we will be going out into the community.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: We will be holding fourteen community huddles. We will share
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: more details behind the design, ask for comments, ask for suggestions,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: taking to consideration that input, and I think we'll end
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: up with a much We think we have a great
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: product right now. I think we'll end up with an
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: even better product after we go through this process.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: The full conversation with Jack's president Mark Lamping and HOK
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Design principal Peter Broder available on Jaguars dot com and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars social channels, plus renderings of the design available
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: at First Downtown Jacksonville dot com and Yes, as Lamping referenced,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: there will be fourteen community huddles over a ten day
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: stretch starting Monday, June twelfth. Lamping is scheduled to attend
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: all of them and they are free to the public.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: A full list of dates and locations available at Jaguars
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: dot com or First Downtown Jacksonville dot com. Now to football,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: head coach Dog Peterson spoke with the media Monday ahead
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of the final week of organized team activities, and he
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: discussed what the team has accomplished so far this offseason.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: One, because the participation, the amount of guys that are
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: here that's that's the number one thing that I look
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: at because it's a voluntary off season program. Right next
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: week is the mandatory mini camp, the only three days
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: that you know, the guys are required to be here.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: So I've been really pleased and being having great participation,
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: great effort.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Guys are doing the right things.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we've been able to work on some stuff that
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: the coaches have, you know, taken away from last season
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: or new ideas, new thoughts. We've been able to implement those,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: you know this this spring and and really, uh, you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: just just get stuff on film. Really, but it's been
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: it's been a good off season so far. Have you
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: decided how you're going to handle Mini camp yet?
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I have probably not.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: That was Monday, but by Friday, the team had announced
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: that select player, including a majority of veterans, who participated
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in the offseason program to date, well, they'll be excused
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: from the entire veteran mandatory mini camp. Rookies, first year players,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and injured veterans will still be required to participate, So
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: don't expect to hear from Trevor Lawrence next week. He
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: spoke with the media this week and was asked the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: mindset now that the Jaguars are the favorites in the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: division and the team is now being hunted.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, it doesn't change anything for us. I mean, obviously,
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: I think anything, it's got to work even harder. I mean,
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: it doesn't really change anything for us. Regardless of the expectations.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: The game is played on Sunday. You got to go
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: out there and play the game, regardless of if people
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: think you're gonna win, think you're gonna lose, doesn't really matter.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: So and that's the mindset we had last year, being
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: pretty much underdog in every game, and we got to
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: carry that over this year too. And we still have
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: to have that chip on our shoulder and prepare the
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: same way. You know, we didn't. We still didn't get
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: to where we wanted to last year, so we have
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: a lot more.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Work to do.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: Right in your own mind, and I know you're not
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: going to actually tell us a number, but you sort
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: of have a number in your own mind about how
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: much more points per game you would like to see
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: this out.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Of the offense, because obviously you want more.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, obviously you're looking to improve in every
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: category and every part of your personal game, and as
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: an offense, and at the end of the day, no,
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna give you answer, because we're gonna score
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: as many points it takes to win, and some weeks
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: that'll be Some weeks that might be thirty five, some
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: weeks that might be seventeen. Who knows what it's going
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: to be. Obviously, we want to score as many points
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: as we can. But the end of the day, if
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: we got one more point than the other team, that's
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: that's what it's about.
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: Tutterding.
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: Have you've seen anything from Calvin or learned about Calvin?
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: He didn't know maybe you know three.
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: Or four months ago.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I just I never really I know
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: some guys that played with him in Atlanta, I don't
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: keep in touch with those guys as much anymore. So
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: I didn't know much about him personally. Obviously I know
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: the kind of player he is. I've watched in the
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: last few years and was super excited about that aspect
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: of him joining our team. But just to get to
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: know him as a person and just to see his
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: work ethic and how hungry he is to get back
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: into play and how happy he is to be a
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: part of our team, I think that's been the coolest
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: part of having.
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: Here season, Like you're not adjusting to the league, not
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: adjusting to a new to.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: The new system definitely, you know, to have to have
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: the same staff, to have a lot of the same players,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: to have that carryover and the system especially. You know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: this's the first time in a while I haven't been
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: learning a new offense, and that feels good having that
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: and being able to focus on little parts of my
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: game instead of just making sure I got the installs
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: and know the plan coming into practice. You know, obviously
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: if you look over that too, but not having that
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: stress of just learning the playbook, I can just really
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: focus on my game and my mechanics.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Lawrence was also a guest of John Oser on the
• 12:31

  Speaker 12: And we always said from day to the first meeting,
• 14:15
  Speaker 12: we said, hey, listen, we're gonna come in, we're gonna
• 14:16
  Speaker 12: work our tails up. We're gonna have fun too. It's
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: not gonna be just football. You know, an hour hour
• 14:22
  Speaker 12: of an hour. If something comes up one day and
• 14:24
  Speaker 12: we're gonna crack a joke with somebody, someone did something
• 14:26
  Speaker 12: in practice, Christian there day tripped in practice. Well, we're
• 14:28
  Speaker 12: gonna turn the film on. We're gonna joke about it,
• 14:30
  Speaker 12: have fun, and things come up with our families we
• 14:33
  Speaker 12: always talk about. So that's what it is. But now
• 14:36
  Speaker 12: the great thing is, you know, early on in the
• 14:40
  Speaker 12: offseason program, we start from scratch. You know, you install
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: day one again and then you keep on going. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: the great thing about it is now we can watch
• 14:49
  Speaker 12: more film and we can have more open conversation about Hey,
• 14:53
  Speaker 12: you remember the Kansas City game, the second series of
• 14:56
  Speaker 12: the game, this came up or he can ask a
• 14:59
  Speaker 12: quot question like a protection. Hey, you know in Dallas,
• 15:04
  Speaker 12: this situation came up. I made this call. What do
• 15:07
  Speaker 12: you think about me doing this now? And that that's
• 15:10
  Speaker 12: the guts, that's experience, and that's kind of what was developed.
• 15:13
  Speaker 12: I think that's why you saw our offense take off
• 15:15
  Speaker 12: towards the end of the year. The mistakes earlier in
• 15:18
  Speaker 12: the year. I hate to say it, but some of
• 15:20
  Speaker 12: them are expected. You know, there's gonna he's gonna miss
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: some things. You look at the Washington game now, I
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: mean all the offseason program, every time he turned that
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: game on, it's like, gosh, that was awful. It's and
• 15:33
  Speaker 12: you miss a ball, a throw here, to Christian, you
• 15:35
  Speaker 12: miss a ball here, or a protection or a cut
• 15:38
  Speaker 12: by the running backs, It's like, well, and it's like listen,
• 15:41
  Speaker 12: that was week one of the season. This is how
• 15:44
  Speaker 12: we're going to learn, This is how we're going to
• 15:45
  Speaker 12: get better. Just make a note of it. I mean,
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: he's throwing a ball in a live situation in Washington
• 15:53
  Speaker 12: for the first time with some of these teammates. He's
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: never played a game at that level. With Christian Kirk,
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: he missed Travis on a couple. Well, Travis was out,
• 16:02
  Speaker 12: you know, he didn't get to play the rookie year,
• 16:04
  Speaker 12: so he missed all those opportunities. So the speed of
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: the game from going from preseason games to the opener
• 16:11
  Speaker 12: and as a season it picks up, so you're gonna
• 16:13
  Speaker 12: miss some things. And there was a throw or two
• 16:16
  Speaker 12: here and there as we got going, and there's a
• 16:19
  Speaker 12: throw in Indie that we missed to Christian and it's like, okay,
• 16:23
  Speaker 12: we're a little late with the throw. And then two
• 16:25
  Speaker 12: weeks later it's even a tighter coverage and we make
• 16:28
  Speaker 12: the throw. So it's just you grow over time.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: How hard has that been in the league for a
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: long time to be patient with a quarterback going.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Through that kind of stuff.
• 16:38
  Speaker 12: Well, hey, my job's easy. It's easy to sit here
• 16:42
  Speaker 12: talk to you after a game, or talk as we're
• 16:44
  Speaker 12: sitting here now, or for me to watch with remote
• 16:46
  Speaker 12: in my hand after the fact on the plane ride
• 16:49
  Speaker 12: at home and say, oh, why didn't we throw it
• 16:51
  Speaker 12: over here or you should have gone over here. It's
• 16:54
  Speaker 12: the one thing I've always told the quarterbacks is listen,
• 16:59
  Speaker 12: we're gonna sit down in between every series or in practice,
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: after every practice, or when we have in special teams
• 17:04
  Speaker 12: period during practice, I'm always gonna ask you.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: What did you see?
• 17:09
  Speaker 12: And it's my job to correct you or my job
• 17:12
  Speaker 12: to say good point. And we knew there's gonna be
• 17:17
  Speaker 12: some growing pains last year, in the first year that
• 17:19
  Speaker 12: you know that you're it's a young quarterback. I'm also
• 17:23
  Speaker 12: very fortunate to have coached two of the greatest to
• 17:26
  Speaker 12: ever play the game in Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning,
• 17:29
  Speaker 12: and then the guys that I played with and Caroly
• 17:31
  Speaker 12: Jake Dilom's of the World, Rodney Pete, Steve Berlin, some
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: great veterans that are outstanding players that have played a
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: lot of football. So I was spoiled. And I've also
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: been in some games where you play with some younger
• 17:44
  Speaker 12: guys and you will understand they're gonna miss some things.
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: And I played the position, Doug played the position, so
• 17:49
  Speaker 12: it's we see those mistakes sometimes and it kills you,
• 17:53
  Speaker 12: but it's like, Okay, we've thrown some interceptions. It's not
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: gonna be the last one. We're gonna We're gonna miss
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: certain throws, but just keep going. And that's one of
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: the main things for me, is having played the position
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: is just to keep them going on the sidelines, talk
• 18:09
  Speaker 12: him out of the funks, and very similar to the
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: Charger game, just keep.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Going, buddy.
• 18:14
  Speaker 12: We've done a lot of really good things. You're his talent.
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: I mean the conversation after the London game. There's certain
• 18:20
  Speaker 12: things you've got to help him get where he is.
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: But we all knew the type of player Trevor could become,
• 18:25
  Speaker 12: and that's where he's at today.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Running Backs coach Bernie Parmally has another new addition in
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: third round draft pick Tank Bigsby. I asked Parmally to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: compare and contrast the styles of Bigsby and Travis et
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: En Jr.
• 18:38
  Speaker 13: You know what, It's a similar but a little bit
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: like take us more downhill in between, more power, but
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: he does have the quickness to be that home run hitter.
• 18:50
  Speaker 13: Travis is that slasher, you know, that smooth slasher.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: He's tougher than what people think. He will put his
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: shoulder now.
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: And then I think, like which as far as being
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: split out, he can do that, Tay can do it also.
• 19:05
  Speaker 13: Actually he wasn't asked to catch a lot of passes
• 19:09
  Speaker 13: at Auburn, but he actually has good hands.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: So we finding that out also.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: How important it is that in today's NFL to have
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: all these different types of running backs.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: In your room.
• 19:20
  Speaker 13: To have kind of the big guy, the fast guy,
• 19:23
  Speaker 13: the guy who can do everything all in your same group. Well,
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: you love to have the total package. Some guys can
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: do both, some guys can't. But you just got to
• 19:31
  Speaker 13: play to the strengths of the guys that you have.
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: So if we're lacking something, you got to get somebody
• 19:36
  Speaker 13: that can bring what you're lacking. But it's also it's
• 19:40
  Speaker 13: really good. It's like a kid in the candy store.
• 19:42
  Speaker 13: You got everything you need right there in the room.
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: It's like, okay, now we can play. You want power football,
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: we can want power football. You want this slashes type,
• 19:50
  Speaker 13: we can do that. We can do any type of
• 19:51
  Speaker 13: football you want. So when you get those guys that
• 19:53
  Speaker 13: can do multiple things, it bowls well for the offense.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: The offensive line has some moving arts in this offseason,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: but there's no one more excited about what they have
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to offer that offensive line. Coach Phil Rauscher.
• 20:07
  Speaker 14: We have a really good group. I think that if
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: you asked them, they would tell you that they're they're
• 20:11
  Speaker 14: the tightest group on the team. Like they take a
• 20:15
  Speaker 14: lot of pride in that. So there's nothing that that
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: we don't know about each other and kind of what
• 20:20
  Speaker 14: our limitations are and what are and what we excel at.
• 20:24
  Speaker 14: So it's it's just the mix of finding the right combination,
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: the right five guys and where that is and and
• 20:32
  Speaker 14: it may be different today than it is when training
• 20:36
  Speaker 14: camp starts in comparison to what what the the first
• 20:39
  Speaker 14: first game ends up being against Indy. It's just it's
• 20:42
  Speaker 14: finding that mix and and how that plays. And now
• 20:45
  Speaker 14: are there parts of the puzzle that we feel really
• 20:47
  Speaker 14: good about, Like Luke Fortner is gonna gonna play center
• 20:51
  Speaker 14: for us. He did a really good job and he's
• 20:52
  Speaker 14: developed into a really much stronger player than when he
• 20:58
  Speaker 14: than the season ended. So you kind of like change
• 21:02
  Speaker 14: always happens. Change is inevitable on the offensive line, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 14: but these guys together as a unit cohesively, they understand
• 21:13
  Speaker 14: what it takes to get that job done. So we
• 21:15
  Speaker 14: feel really good about that.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: At tight end, second round pick Brenton Strange could make
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: an early impact on the offense. Tight end's coach Richard
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and Gulo explains why.
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: I think he's done a good job. You know, he's
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: we can use them all over the place. Really, He's
• 21:31
  Speaker 9: he's got a big body, he can run, he can catch,
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: So whether it's in line, split out wherever, I think
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: we can use him anywhere really, And he's also done
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: a good job. He's a smart guy. He's able to grasp,
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: he's able to get a feel for things without him
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: going to take a bunch of reps. So he's done good. Well,
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: you know you have to get in the second round.
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: You got high expectations for him. So I think he's
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: right where we wanted to be. Obviously, you know, with
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: Evan not being here gives him more opportunity for sure.
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: So he's like I said, he's done good. He's fit
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: fit right in with the locker room, right with the room.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: It was extremely excited to have him here, honestly.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And finally, wide receivers coach Chad Hall and here it's
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: an outstanding position group, but there's only one football to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: go around. How does Hall battle the egos that could
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: come at the wide receiver position.
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: No, I mean that's my job, you know, And luckily
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: I know I haven't been coaching long, but I had
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: that experience in Buffalo with Stefan Diggs. You know, he
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: was a little bit of a whatever you want to
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: call him in Minnesota and then he came here and
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: that was my responsibility and I and we made sure that, uh,
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: you know, the great players are great players, and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: just want to win and if we win, it doesn't matter.
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: If we lose, then sometimes they're upset because they want
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: to do more. They felt they could help more, you know,
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: those star players. But no, we're not going to have
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: that issue. I mean, those guys we meet every morning,
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: those three in myself, and uh, we're I mean, they're
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: everything's going great.
• 23:00
  Speaker 13: What's your concern for a.
• 23:01
  Speaker 15: Guy like Calvin, who if he plays in the open
• 23:03
  Speaker 15: whichever expects.
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: It'll be twenty three months between games.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: That's a huge playoffs.
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: What's your concern about where he could be rusty or
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: what his biggest issue would be if anyone you know,
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: dealing with that layout.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: You know, I don't think that there's no concern on
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: my end. I think for him it's just you know,
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: that first game back, so he's probably gonna just have
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: some butterflies. You know, he's you know, but exciting butterfly.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: You know, it's just been a while. But other than that.
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: Once he gets by those nerves, makes his first catch,
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be He'll be back to normal,
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: you know. I mean it's like riding a bike. You know,
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: he's done it at a high level already in this league,
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: so he's just got to get back on the bike.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Just in this offense. You your first look at this state.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: How difficult is it to play receiver in this offense?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Considering the movement all over the place, Guys can line
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: up in different areas Christian jenside or outside if he
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: needs to be what kind of what kind of mental
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: makeup do you have?
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you gotta be smart. You gotta be smart. And
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: I challenge especially at the receiver position, because you can
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: play any spot. Sometimes you're gonna be the X, the Z,
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: the F, the Y, it doesn't matter. But the concepts
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: stay the same. So it's really the bigger picture that
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: you have to know. And then once you know where
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: to align, you know the concept. You know the big picture,
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: so you know what you're doing. But it takes time.
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: And I took time for me. I mean I told
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: them exactly what I did when I got here, got
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: the offense, looked at it started making note cards and
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: that's what that's my way of learning, and then I
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: figure out the con you know. So it's I tell
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: them how I do it. I give them ideas. I'm
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: always here to help for any time they come in
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: my office. But I also tell them there's one there's
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: there's only a couple of things you can control on
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: the football field. Well, knowing what to do is what
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: you can control. So if you're out there doing the
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: wrong thing, then you know you're not gonna play right.
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: And I tell them not to you know, just I'm
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: not you know, being mean or anything. It's just is
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: what it is like, this is your job. Is the
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: NFL paid a lot of money. If you don't know
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: what you're doing, not gonna be out there. And that
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: was one of the things I told today. I was like, hey,
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: you know two positions when you come back, you better
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: know three, you know, because that's what we need. And
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: it's hard, so answering your question.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: You have to be smart.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: But we have enough time where even the lowest common
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: denomena we can make it happen. And then again that's
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: my job.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Let's move along to the defense. Senior defensive assistant Bob
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Sutton has over forty years of coaching experience, over twenty
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: of those in the NFL. He was the Army head
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: coach from nineteen ninety one to ninety nine, and then
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: started his NFL career as an assistant in two thousand
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: and That includes two different stints as a defensive coordinator
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, with the Jets and the Chiefs. With Sutton,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I started with a major theme for the defense moving ahead,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: how do you get more pass rush out of this team?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a simple question, but maybe not as
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: simple answer.
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: Well, I think you know, of course most I think
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: the most common way people analyze pass rush of sacks.
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: My personal feeling would be that pressure is one of
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: the really important things. I've used this with players before
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: when I was in Kansas City at justin Houston and
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: he got twenty two sacks, half sack short of the record.
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: Now he was in there was seven hundred and fifty
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: some passes in that year. Now, if you get twenty
• 26:37
  Speaker 10: two out of seven fifty in baseball, you're done. Basketball,
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: you're done, right and football is it's a mark.
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: But the point of it is is.
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: To get a sack isn't really the most important. We
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: love them, we're they're great, but the most important thing
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: is keep pressure on the quarterback. You know, if you
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: don't affect the quarterback in today's game, I think is
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: really hard to win, you know. And in fact, if
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: you ever look at QBR the quarterback ratings, and you
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: look at the stat sheet we get after the game,
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: the team with the highest QBR usually wins. And so
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: when you say QBR, you're really talking about affecting the quarterback,
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: and that's that's sacks, pressures, move them off the spot, disguise,
• 27:23
  Speaker 10: tight coverage, and I really think that's the only.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Way you win. You know.
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: Completion percentages in the last I think are up to
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: about sixty six or sixty seven percent, that's the average,
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: you know, So you got to play great team defense
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: to affect the quarterbacks today.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: A major part of that pass rush Josh Allen and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker under the tutelage of outside linebackers coach Bill Shuey.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I asked Jim how Allen can expand his late season
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: success over a seventeen game schedule.
• 27:54
  Speaker 16: It's extremely difficult to stretch out over a full seventeen games,
• 27:57
  Speaker 16: but you know that's the goal right there, because it's
• 27:59
  Speaker 16: a the.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Production that you want.
• 28:01
  Speaker 16: You can't have lapses like Josh had, and he knows that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 16: And sometimes when you're aware of that, it doesn't necessarily
• 28:08
  Speaker 16: help the situation. You know, because somebody had asked me
• 28:12
  Speaker 16: earlier and I said, you know, the one thing about
• 28:14
  Speaker 16: Josh being a team guy, like he loves being a Jaguar,
• 28:18
  Speaker 16: you know, last year he's a captain. He wants to
• 28:21
  Speaker 16: be the guy to make the play that changes the game,
• 28:24
  Speaker 16: and he works hard at it. But the situation still
• 28:28
  Speaker 16: has to present itself. You just have to be prepared
• 28:31
  Speaker 16: when it does. And so that's what we say, you know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 16: like we always want guys to do their job. Do
• 28:36
  Speaker 16: you're one to eleven, trust in the process and trust
• 28:38
  Speaker 16: the man next to you that he's going to do
• 28:40
  Speaker 16: his job. And you know, I think for him, the
• 28:44
  Speaker 16: consistency part is real when you look at the whys
• 28:47
  Speaker 16: behind some of that stuff, you know, some of that
• 28:49
  Speaker 16: are going to be out of his control. Sometimes he
• 28:50
  Speaker 16: just got to keep going. And I think that's kind
• 28:53
  Speaker 16: of what he did last year, Like he yeah, sure
• 28:55
  Speaker 16: there was some frustration when the production went down for
• 28:58
  Speaker 16: that lull, but he ken't working hard and kept having
• 29:01
  Speaker 16: having faith and not only himself, but the guys around him,
• 29:04
  Speaker 16: and the trust that the coaching staff had on, you know,
• 29:06
  Speaker 16: in him to keep putting him in the position. And
• 29:09
  Speaker 16: then eventually things turn around, and they have a tendency
• 29:12
  Speaker 16: to do that. Like though, they can come in bunches.
• 29:15
  Speaker 16: You had a couple, you know, you get a couple
• 29:16
  Speaker 16: of two SAT games and and and things change around
• 29:19
  Speaker 16: a little bit for him. So I think for him
• 29:22
  Speaker 16: the thought processes is a lesson be learned from last year.
• 29:26
  Speaker 16: You started off pretty good, you had a lull, then
• 29:28
  Speaker 16: you close pretty good at the end. You know, just
• 29:32
  Speaker 16: keep keep focused on the next play, the next play,
• 29:36
  Speaker 16: the next play. You know, you talk about sixty minutes
• 29:38
  Speaker 16: of football and then you you're taking stuff from the game.
• 29:41
  Speaker 16: But at the end of the day, you don't really
• 29:42
  Speaker 16: want to go and evaluate your game at halftime. Right
• 29:45
  Speaker 16: like that, You think about the next series, the next play,
• 29:48
  Speaker 16: and then you see where it ends it where it
• 29:51
  Speaker 16: ends up at the very end of the game. But
• 29:53
  Speaker 16: for Josh, just keep he keeps working, He keeps working
• 29:57
  Speaker 16: in game, he keeps working in practice, and I'm excited
• 30:00
  Speaker 16: to see him hopefully soon how give us.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: A degree of difficulty of what Trayvon Walker did last
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: year going outside really for the first time.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: He didn't do a lot of that at Georgia, and.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: You know, his his effort at least in trying to
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: play outside and maybe his ability to move around as
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the season goes.
• 30:19
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I do think it's I think it's I think
• 30:21
  Speaker 16: there is a certain level of difficulty to doing that,
• 30:26
  Speaker 16: and I think some of the learning curve that he had.
• 30:28
  Speaker 16: I mean, that's that's real. You know, that's real. There's
• 30:32
  Speaker 16: you look at the space that's involved. You look at
• 30:35
  Speaker 16: just the stance sometimes, you know, being a two point stance.
• 30:38
  Speaker 16: You know, I remember working in Chicago with Trevis Gibson,
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: who was essentially an interior d line. When he came out,
• 30:44
  Speaker 16: he had to work on his stance just for a while,
• 30:46
  Speaker 16: just to get comfortable in the stance. You know, you alone,
• 30:49
  Speaker 16: playing the position in the scheme and everything like that.
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: But then you talk about you know, you're looking at
• 30:53
  Speaker 16: the angles that happened. The angles are different on the outside.
• 30:56
  Speaker 16: You know, you can look at and say, well, is
• 30:58
  Speaker 16: a three technique the same as a live technique and
• 31:01
  Speaker 16: it does play out the same and a lot of
• 31:04
  Speaker 16: in a lot of aspects, but just the angles, the space,
• 31:08
  Speaker 16: some of that is different. The timing of things is different,
• 31:11
  Speaker 16: and so you know, on a on a bigger scale,
• 31:15
  Speaker 16: you can say, yeah, well, if I'm playing on an
• 31:17
  Speaker 16: edge of one guy, it's going to be the same
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: whether I'm on the center, I'm the edge of the guard,
• 31:20
  Speaker 16: on the edge of the tackle. But the further you
• 31:22
  Speaker 16: move out, the more space there is, and then the
• 31:25
  Speaker 16: more you know the space of the game, the timing
• 31:27
  Speaker 16: of the hands, the timing of the move area, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 16: all that other stuff changes. From that standpoint, I thought
• 31:31
  Speaker 16: he did a great job of playing physical in the
• 31:33
  Speaker 16: run game and setting edges that sometimes gets overlooked until
• 31:38
  Speaker 16: you don't have the ability to do that. Like those
• 31:40
  Speaker 16: are one of those things you almost take it for
• 31:41
  Speaker 16: granted when you have a guy like Josh, a guy
• 31:43
  Speaker 16: like Trayvon and Klevon does a good job, you know,
• 31:46
  Speaker 16: and that stuff. And the guys we had last year,
• 31:47
  Speaker 16: I thought they did a pretty good job. We had
• 31:48
  Speaker 16: a good group from that standpoint, So I don't think
• 31:51
  Speaker 16: we as a staff took it for granted or anything
• 31:53
  Speaker 16: like that, but you can see where you could almost
• 31:55
  Speaker 16: you know, naturally do it. But he did a great
• 31:58
  Speaker 16: job there. He did a pretty good job coverage too.
• 32:00
  Speaker 16: I know there's a couple of those wheel routes you
• 32:02
  Speaker 16: know where you know where Josh got caught up and
• 32:04
  Speaker 16: trey Von. Though for a guy that's coming from a
• 32:06
  Speaker 16: down lineman in college to go out there and play,
• 32:10
  Speaker 16: you know, I can't remember the exact number, but I
• 32:12
  Speaker 16: feel like eighty ninety coverge reps in a year, that's
• 32:15
  Speaker 16: a that's a pretty substantial And the coverage techniques that
• 32:18
  Speaker 16: he played, it wasn't like he was playing the same
• 32:19
  Speaker 16: coverage technique every time, and so you know, those are strides,
• 32:23
  Speaker 16: the passtresh part of it. I think he did learn
• 32:26
  Speaker 16: and get better as it goes. It may not have
• 32:27
  Speaker 16: shown up in the numbers, but that was the thing
• 32:30
  Speaker 16: coming into this offseason, Let's see if we can, you know,
• 32:32
  Speaker 16: kind of start this offseason where we finished last season
• 32:35
  Speaker 16: and bill from there and not taking any steps back.
• 32:37
  Speaker 16: And I think he came in that way. He spent
• 32:39
  Speaker 16: some time on his own in the off season before
• 32:41
  Speaker 16: he even got here, and you could tell I felt
• 32:44
  Speaker 16: like he came in better than when he left last year.
• 32:47
  Speaker 16: So now it was my job you know, along with
• 32:50
  Speaker 16: Mike and with buck and Rory and everybody else that's
• 32:52
  Speaker 16: here to collaborative, collaborative, to work together and see if
• 32:56
  Speaker 16: we can keep mentioning him forward. And I think I
• 32:59
  Speaker 16: think he has now. It's just gonna be a matter of,
• 33:01
  Speaker 16: you know, the opportunity and see how it translations into production.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Defensive line coach Brinson Buckner had more on Trayvon Walker,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: including his ability inside.
• 33:11
  Speaker 17: I mean, Treyvon can handle anything because Trey Vunn was
• 33:13
  Speaker 17: an inside guy that we moved outside.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: So I just let you know how athletic that he is.
• 33:19
  Speaker 17: I think, once again, the football maturity, the football IQ
• 33:23
  Speaker 17: a lot of things Treyvunn saw last year as an
• 33:26
  Speaker 17: outside linebackers was the first time he ever saw those
• 33:28
  Speaker 17: as a football player because he's never been in that world.
• 33:31
  Speaker 17: And I thought he handled it perfectly. And I think
• 33:34
  Speaker 17: he's coming back here this year knowing, anticipating what he
• 33:37
  Speaker 17: needs to know, and he's putting in the work. You know,
• 33:40
  Speaker 17: he split time between me and coach Shuey, and we
• 33:43
  Speaker 17: bring the whole group together and we work because there's
• 33:45
  Speaker 17: a lot of crossover and you just you can see
• 33:47
  Speaker 17: them the football maturity starting to kick in. You starting
• 33:50
  Speaker 17: to see the body starting to unlock. Now where it's
• 33:54
  Speaker 17: not like, oh, I'm finna be surprised about No. I
• 33:57
  Speaker 17: saw this ten, fifteen, twenty times last year.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Let me to it.
• 34:00
  Speaker 17: So I don't think that is a challenge for him.
• 34:03
  Speaker 17: I think with trey Von, he's a football player, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 17: that's why we loved him so much. We didn't look
• 34:08
  Speaker 17: at himself. He's an outside linebacker, he's a defensive We
• 34:11
  Speaker 17: saw a football player, and I think the game is
• 34:14
  Speaker 17: built around those guys that can play those multiple positions
• 34:18
  Speaker 17: with no kind of drop off. And that's what he's becoming.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Who is the d one smooth? Who is who is
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: that role? Because he had some big key roles in
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the late in the season.
• 34:29
  Speaker 17: He has some some great roles, and I don't think
• 34:34
  Speaker 17: we have one because what he was was a unique guy.
• 34:38
  Speaker 17: But we have some guys who bring some special to
• 34:40
  Speaker 17: the table. Or the young man out of Louisville who
• 34:43
  Speaker 17: was dressed the yasia, the gasia is a bullet off
• 34:46
  Speaker 17: the edge and he's showing in these ot as that
• 34:50
  Speaker 17: you know he understands the run game too, So that's
• 34:53
  Speaker 17: a that's that's something he's gonna bring bring to the table,
• 34:56
  Speaker 17: you know, inside playing with guys who have guys like
• 35:00
  Speaker 17: like Dixon, who that we moved from outside linebacker and
• 35:03
  Speaker 17: moved him into the defensive line room. And he's starting
• 35:06
  Speaker 17: to get a little bit bigger now with didn't effect
• 35:09
  Speaker 17: his speed, but he still has his power. So he
• 35:12
  Speaker 17: brings a unique skill set that can go in there
• 35:15
  Speaker 17: and play. So I don't think you really ever replaced
• 35:17
  Speaker 17: guys like Smooth because they're so special.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Now I'll be undermining what no kind of player he is.
• 35:24
  Speaker 17: I think he's a special player. But guys can add
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: their different flavor to it that can alleviate some of
• 35:29
  Speaker 17: those things, but just do it a different way.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Tony Gilbert is the inside linebackers coach for the Jags.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: He has the league's leading tackler in Foyer Alukun in
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: his room, of course, but twenty twenty two first round
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: pick Devin Lloyd was under the microscope as a rookie
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: last season. Gilbert explained his progression as an off the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: ball linebacker.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: He's seen great improvement off the mall.
• 35:51
  Speaker 18: And I think for him because he did so much
• 35:53
  Speaker 18: in college moving around, I think for him just being
• 35:57
  Speaker 18: a stackbacker was probably it's probably an adjustment, but I
• 36:02
  Speaker 18: think after seeing and going through his going pains of
• 36:06
  Speaker 18: the rookie year, coming back in the end and having
• 36:09
  Speaker 18: some success, Like he actually texts me, you know, our
• 36:12
  Speaker 18: first week back and was like, hey, I'm tired of
• 36:13
  Speaker 18: putting media ocre film out.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: There, and I said, I love it.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: I said, yeah, I want to help you.
• 36:18
  Speaker 18: You know, we all want to help you be the
• 36:20
  Speaker 18: best version of yourself and be the best player that
• 36:22
  Speaker 18: you want to be. So you can tell mentally physically
• 36:26
  Speaker 18: mostly he's in a great spot.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: You know. I think he took some.
• 36:29
  Speaker 18: Time off to really just give his body and his
• 36:32
  Speaker 18: mind arrest, and he's been great.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the secondary, starting with safeties coach Cody Griham.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Andre Cisco has been in the weight room this offseason.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: It looks like but Grim knows the improvement can continue
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: for number five.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 15: Yeah, he made strides as the season went on. He's
• 36:50
  Speaker 15: still left a few plays out there, whether he dropped
• 36:52
  Speaker 15: the ball or this and that, and then we were
• 36:57
  Speaker 15: working on this on this ots, you know, as far
• 36:59
  Speaker 15: as you know, putting him down so much strong, you know,
• 37:01
  Speaker 15: so we get some different looks that he doesn't always
• 37:03
  Speaker 15: get unless you know, he'll get a little bit, but
• 37:05
  Speaker 15: off of motion to round out his game better. We're
• 37:08
  Speaker 15: making better in the wrong game this season for sure.
• 37:10
  Speaker 15: And then on the back end, I mean he's got
• 37:13
  Speaker 15: a gift. I mean, he's got range, and he's got
• 37:15
  Speaker 15: good eyes, he's got a good feel back there. Now
• 37:18
  Speaker 15: we just gotta make some of the plays we missed
• 37:21
  Speaker 15: and then have a big hear.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Andrew Wingard still around here, man, just making plays, big moments.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: He's out there some of those three safety looks. So
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: kind of intangibles can does he bring to this not
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: only the safety room, but his defense is zone.
• 37:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 37:37
  Speaker 15: I mean he's a lunch pale type guy. He comes
• 37:40
  Speaker 15: to work every days.
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: He's a pro.
• 37:43
  Speaker 15: He works hard. He understands the whole defense. His job
• 37:46
  Speaker 15: are the rules, and then that's part of the reason
• 37:49
  Speaker 15: he had so much success down Then we, you know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 15: asking him to do some stuff whether it's linebacker that
• 37:54
  Speaker 15: he was able to understand and then obviously make plays.
• 37:58
  Speaker 15: You know, we harp on turnovers and stuff like that,
• 38:01
  Speaker 15: and do we get that, you know, punch out versus Ravens,
• 38:04
  Speaker 15: which is huge and pick first Tennessee where It's just
• 38:08
  Speaker 15: stuff we always talk about as far as you know.
• 38:10
  Speaker 15: Tennessee was spread first, probably quick game and he jumps
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: it and they throw the hitch and he makes a play.
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: So he's able to take stuff from the meeting room
• 38:17
  Speaker 15: to the field. And then he's always just pro, shows
• 38:22
  Speaker 15: up to work, gets his job done.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: And finally cornerbacks de Shaye Townsend played in the NFL
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: for thirteen seasons, twelve of those with the Steelers. I
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: asked him about the mindset of cornerback Tyson Campbell and
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: his improvement moving into year three.
• 38:37
  Speaker 19: You know, one thing that we talked about from the
• 38:39
  Speaker 19: first year after I saw him and watch his tape
• 38:42
  Speaker 19: from before I coached him to the next year was
• 38:45
  Speaker 19: all right, let's find our ways to find the ball,
• 38:47
  Speaker 19: you know, turning some of those plays into PBUs of
• 38:50
  Speaker 19: getting the head around.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: And we saw him make some good players on.
• 38:53
  Speaker 19: Some back shoulders and fast share his interceptions that he got.
• 38:57
  Speaker 19: His next step is all right, let's turn these pvus
• 38:59
  Speaker 19: in interceptions and each year you're gonna see him improve.
• 39:03
  Speaker 19: You know, the more reps he gets, the more opportunity
• 39:06
  Speaker 19: he gets to locate and.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Track the ball.
• 39:07
  Speaker 19: You know, you see him working at it daily, and
• 39:10
  Speaker 19: that's gonna be the next step. You know, it's not
• 39:12
  Speaker 19: just covering the guy. Let's find ways to make them
• 39:14
  Speaker 19: plain when they do throw it your way, and that's
• 39:16
  Speaker 19: gonna be our ultimate goal.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: Like, that's what he grinds and works on.
• 39:20
  Speaker 19: He's working on a little part of the game or
• 39:21
  Speaker 19: understanding what the offense are doing.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing that you love about it.
• 39:25
  Speaker 19: Like he we meet every morning, like Wednesday, Thursday, during
• 39:28
  Speaker 19: the week, we meet every morning before practice before everybody
• 39:31
  Speaker 19: else goes, and we watch tape, we watch other guys,
• 39:34
  Speaker 19: we watch the offenses. So he's taking that next step
• 39:37
  Speaker 19: to make sure if it's not just the physical part,
• 39:39
  Speaker 19: it's a middle part that's gonna separate him.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: And he's working at it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: How hard is that to you know, he had that
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: you're talking about tracking the ball head submit, how hard
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: is that to overcome?
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: To improve a part? It is improvement.
• 39:51
  Speaker 19: Yeah, it's just something that you just got to work.
• 39:53
  Speaker 19: You know, it's a timing thing or field thing. It's
• 39:56
  Speaker 19: also understanding what they're trying to do and where the
• 39:58
  Speaker 19: quarterbacks trying to throw it at. So it's it's something
• 40:01
  Speaker 19: that's you know, if everybody can do it, we would
• 40:03
  Speaker 19: all be doing it.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: But it's something that you have to work at and
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: he's working on.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: So he didn't have bad ball skills.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: He's just h yeah, you gotta work at him.
• 40:11
  Speaker 19: Now, you gotta work But you know, some of it
• 40:13
  Speaker 19: is you know, you look at a lot of guys
• 40:14
  Speaker 19: in college that taught to play through the hands. So
• 40:16
  Speaker 19: you got to think they got ten thousand reps of
• 40:19
  Speaker 19: telling him. What their college coach to him to do
• 40:21
  Speaker 19: is go play through the hands because that's their rules.
• 40:23
  Speaker 19: Like you can make contact in college without it being
• 40:26
  Speaker 19: a PI, but in this league is they're gonna throw
• 40:28
  Speaker 19: a flag, so you better gets hit around.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: So you gotta do some stuff to coach some things
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: out of young guys.
• 40:33
  Speaker 19: And he's one of those guys that you just have
• 40:35
  Speaker 19: to coach it out of him, and he's working on it.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Darius Williams a little older than the rest of the room, right,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: a different path to the college stuff. So how does
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: that help him that just he's lived some.
• 40:46
  Speaker 19: Life now he has you know, he's lived some life,
• 40:49
  Speaker 19: but he's not old in football years. You know, he's
• 40:51
  Speaker 19: a little bit older when his path to get here
• 40:54
  Speaker 19: but his body might not be as old as the
• 40:55
  Speaker 19: years that has been in the league. So but it's
• 40:58
  Speaker 19: just its intensibles, you know, playing with some different guys
• 41:01
  Speaker 19: that are really good players. And then he has to
• 41:03
  Speaker 19: be self made, you know. He went to a small
• 41:06
  Speaker 19: school and went to UAB, was a free agent, so
• 41:09
  Speaker 19: he had to figure it out the tough way of
• 41:11
  Speaker 19: this is what I need to do to be a pro.
• 41:13
  Speaker 19: And that type of things that you can give the
• 41:15
  Speaker 19: young guys in the rest of the room is invaluable,
• 41:18
  Speaker 19: you know.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: And he's that type of guy that he's a pro.
• 41:20
  Speaker 19: He's quiet, not gonna say much, but he comes to
• 41:23
  Speaker 19: work and he'll share with you if you ask.
