  Speaker 1: Welcome in to the J. P. Shaddick Podcast. Today's Friday,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: August and coming up a preview of the preseason week
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: three game against the Atlanta Falcons, including a preview of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: what you'll hear on the public tailgate show on Jaguars
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Radio Saturday afternoon. Let's get right to it. Preseason week three.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's normally the dress rehearsal week and usually the week
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you'll see the starters go a little deeper into the game. Now,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: different coaches have different philosophies on playing time this week,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: but for head coach Doc Moron, it's pretty clear. You see,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I think you have to play that. That's more than
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: my UM philosophy. You know. I like to gradually build
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it up and like those guys to play just you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: mentally play together. Communication. I think there's a lot more
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that goes into it. I think if someone is UM
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: has the potential of you know, maybe they're just feeling
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: off or or from a standpoint of injuries, you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: then I take that player right out. No need to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: put him in in that situation. But you know, I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: do believe, I've always believed that you get better by playing,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you know, faster than you do by practicing. So you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I I tend to like to you know, player starters,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and in a third preseason game, one of those starters
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that will get playing time this week is running back
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Leonard for that now, he said in the locker room
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: earlier this week, his goal is to score and get out. Well,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it might not be that easy for seven, but it
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: tells you his mindset a bit getting ready for the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: regular season and maybe not exactly the full third preseason game.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: He also spoke this week about his relationship with and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the play of fourth year running back t J. Yeldon,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: who stood out him last week's game in Minnesota. You know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I love I love TJ. Company. Uh kind of kind
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of google, kind of good to love each other, you
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. We have a wonderful relationship outside
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of football and his production. Man, you know, he's uh,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: he's slimming down. You can tell he's a lot quicken
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: than when he was last year, and I think, uh,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: he's more focused on that. It's a good one two
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: punch there at the running back position. An offensive coordinator
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Nathaniel hack And has fired up about his backfield. I'll
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: tell you the combination of seven and twenty four. It's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it's it's pretty exciting, you know. I mean those guys
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: are both having a real good camp, you know, just
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: how they've been in the classroom and how they've studied,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Especially a guy like Leonard that you know, we came
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: just handing the ball, handling the ball. I mean, his
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: his you know, increase in third down, his increasing understanding protections,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is increasing the pass game. Um. You know that that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: gives you a lot of different things you can do
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: with him, you know, instead of just saying, hey, I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: gotta hand the ball to him every time, you know, Um,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And then you've got t J. Who I mean t
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: J's I mean, he's been lights out. I mean, but
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: both those guys are are guys that you know you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: want to give them the ball. And you know, there's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys that that you know, like you said,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you want to get Austin the ball. You I wish
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: there were more of them. Um, but uh, but but
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it's one of those things, you know, you only have
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: one football, but those guys are definitely guys that we
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: want to feature. And then you get the speed and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the juice of Corey Grant and Brandon Wilds has come along.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's been a lot of good things from
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: those guys. They still continue to develop, and um, we
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: want to sure we get them the ball, both in
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the past game and the run game. So I mean
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it's a it's another room that's got some competition, especially
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: for that third spot, you know. I mean, I mean,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Brandon did a really good job. He had some hard
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: nosed runs there on some shortguards and goal line situations,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and we just want to keep seeing him developed up
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: front for this offense. Andrew Norwell and Jeremy Partnell are
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: back on the offensive line this week in practice and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: they're expected to play against the Falcons. That's good news,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of course, and there's also a lot of focus this
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: week on the playoff left tackle Cam Robinson. Now, he
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: said in the locker room he knows he didn't play
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: well last week against the Vikings, but he said it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: only one game and he'll move on from there. For
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the head coach, it's a work in progress for the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: left tackle. Yeah. I think Cam would be the first
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: one to tell you. I mean, Cam would say, listen,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: he's got to do a better job. I think he
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: understands that and we're working you know, towards that goal,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you know, to be more consistent and do a better job.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you could have poor footwork, good hands
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and win the blocks. Sometimes you've got a poor hands,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: good footwork and win the block. So I think it's you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things that go into it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: The mindset prior to you know, how you're gonna at
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: somebody up and what you're gonna do. So did a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: lot of things that go into it. So we'll do
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: whatever we can obviously, you know, to make sure that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he uh, you know, kind of gets out of it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: The Jags wide receivers haven't really had much of a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: breakout performance yet in the preseason. Some solid play, though
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: There's been a couple of factors for that. Guys are
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: coming in and out of the lineup, and the offense
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: really hasn't open up the playbook yet to move the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: ball down the field. But a guy who has flashed
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in practice so far is second round rookie d J.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Chark Jr. And veteran receiver Mark kis Lee. Thinks Chark
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: has what it takes. Obviously, he's athletic, tall, fast and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: all that, but he seems like he's got everything that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a rookie would need that, the motivation, the ability to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: go out and perform right away. Do you guys see
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that in him? Yeah, for sure. And you know, you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: know it's upon us and stay on his head. You
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You know you got drafted second round.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: We always talk about, Hey, we felt like me after
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: saying him, you know, feel like you should be hired
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: than what he was. You know what I'm saying, he
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: got the talent to go out there and be the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: guy that needs to be. It's gonna take some time,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: but I feel like he's gonna He's gonna get there.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And my thing is about his mind is just he
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: got an open mindset to where he just wants to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: get there. You know, you don't know what there is yet,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, you know he's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: trying to get somewhere, and that's somewhere. It's just him
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: probably being great and do what he's supposed to be.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Now to the defense, Calias Campbell, the defensive lineman, has
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: dropped a little weight in this off season, and he's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: ready to follow up an All Pro campaign a year
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: ago with another great season. It's a different feel for
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: him now a little bit lighter. I feel pretty good.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You know, this camp is very tough, so no matter what,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna feel a little better times. But you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: my body feels a lot better than it has been
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: every sent years, and I guess it's always better to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: be a little lighter. Uh So I'm looking forward to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: seeing how that carries over to the football field. You
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: can hear the full conversations with Hackett, Lee, and Campbell
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: on the Public's Tailgate show tomorrow ahead of the Atlanta
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Falcons matchup in preseason Week three. Meanwhile, elsewhere on the defense,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: plenty of players had some thoughts about the lowering the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: helmet rule this week after the Jags are flagged twice.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: In many plush, including linebacker Miles Jack, I feel like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it's inevitable. I'm gonna get here with one, honestly, just
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: because of how fast the game is, and obviously the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: rest are gonna be triggered happy just because it's a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: big emphasis this year. So I feel like it's gonna happen,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and it will take time for everybody to kind of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: evolve and change the game, but at some point, I
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: feel like there's got to be a leniency where there's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a no return rule, you know what I mean, there's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a point of no return where you can't really move
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: out the way without hurting yourself defensive tackle the leak.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Jackson agrees. I think that we might all get hit,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you know, because they're trying to find an even you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: skill to put it on. You know. I think the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: other day, boy, you got hit with one, which is
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, not talking about NFL reps, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy to me because you put his
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: head on the side. You know. I'm trying to find
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: an understanding of what they're supposed to do because I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: don't know what else he could have done, you know.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But we'll get an answer back, and we'll see and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we'll try to grow as players and get an understanding.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But that's what we have to do and the rules.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: The league makes rules and we have to you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: adjust them. It will continue to be a work in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: progress to the rest of the preseason when it comes
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: down to that lowering the helmet rule. Here Saturday's schedule.
