  Speaker 1: Welcome into the JP Shattered Podcast. Today is Thursday, May.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Organized team activities are underway and as of Thursday, the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Jags are through two of the ten o t A practices.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Today we'll catch up with Defensi attack on the Lee
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Jackson to see how he's changed his off season routine
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and preparation. Let's start off at the beginning of phase
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: three of the off season program. It's a four week
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: window with ten on field organized team Activities practices and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that's the first time eleven on eleven, seven on seven,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and nine on seven are allowed in this off season.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: The final week of those four weeks includes the three
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: day veteran mandatory minicamp at the end of the off
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: season program. The work in this final phase is still
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: without pads, so there's a limit to what can really
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: get done. But for head coach Doug Marone, his initial
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: team meeting earlier this week set the tone for what
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to expect, you know, really what our goals are. Obviously,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: we talked about, you know, conditioning, but not conditioning in
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a sense of not just being able to run and stamina,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: but you know, the mental type of conditioning that we need,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you know, with the playbook and you know, actually going
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: out there now the team and running plays and and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and doing that together and really the conditioning of creating
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: good habits, you know, from the huddle to hustle into
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the football and things of that nature and putting it
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: on tape and then you know, being able to show
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: them exactly what our expectations are and what we're looking
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for and you know what we're not. During Tuesday's first
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: O t A practice, the confidence and leadership of quarterback
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Blake Bortles stood out. Everything seemed orderly on offense, he
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: knew where to go with the ball most times, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: just seemed all around comfortable coming in and out of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the huddle. After practice, he was asked about it, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: bortles knowledge and experience is only getting deeper. You know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: even this time last year, you know, I felt good
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: with the base foundation of everything. I think, you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it's probably the intricacies of everything. The adjustments, you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, we talked about this morning kind
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of taking it to the next level, and he, um,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of gave me the green light to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: go ahead. Um. And although we haven't installed some of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the stuff that you know, we did today, there were
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: some checks and stuff made that the guys out there,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, we did a couple of times last year,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So I think taking that next step, um, and taking
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it to the next level as far as you know
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: what you're doing versus you know, all the different looks
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and not just running the play called kind of getting
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: yourself in the best situation possible. For his quarterbacks coach
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Scott Milanovitch, the success makes sense for Bordles and for
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: me it it started with his work ethic and the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: way he kind of attacked his technique and some of
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the things he felt like he needed to improve last year.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And then the better he played, the more we won.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It became a little bit more verbal, um, a little
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: more comfortable in that role. With some success and hoping
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: he can can kind of take that to the next level.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But all that comes with production to Now for the receivers,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: here's how it sounded back on Day one Tuesday with
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. Coach Keenan McCardell miked up attacking it Yo, bow,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: good job, go ha ha, Lena just a little bit,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: good job. Cole beat him back down, good angle, d D.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I'll say a case nice here punch don't turn, you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: turn and dot dot ain't pretty. I don't want that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: pretty stuff. Good job planning to comment first back down
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just like that. That's how I want you to run
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that comeback. I want you to run out there. Oh
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: yeah it don't get to your spot, turn around. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: just like a dry get that plant and turn right
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: back to the quarterback right there. This is your route
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: right here. That's how you like to finish. I know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The full miked up segment is available on Jaguars dot com.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Good stuff there on the team website. Now to the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: defensive line. Calias Campbell spoke after o t a number
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: two on Thursday. There was a lot of new around
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: here last season at this time, the Campbell said, that's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the big difference. This year, it's all familiar. Last I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: was just trying to, you know, learn the playbook. This year,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you know, you can work on specific things every day
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to try to get better. You can sense that everybody
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was kind of taking, you know, a player two here,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: or that they're trying to work on and style, you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a different technique they want to work on. And it's
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: just said that everybody was just more focused on getting better,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: not so much of you know, trying to come together
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: or you know, last I feel like it was everybody
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: was so new. It was a new new coach, staff,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of new players. You know. Now we're just
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: tryna just you know, get better one day at a time.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Claires Campbell was a first team All Pro on the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: defensive line a year ago, of course, and was voted
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl, though he could not participate due
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to injury. Another Pro Bowl player last year on the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: d line, well like Jackson, who we caught up with
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: after practice Thursday, o t a number two in the books.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: First off, maxt you're coming on. Good to see you. It
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: It looks like you're pretty good shapeish Man. Yeah, first
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of all things for having me. It's always a pleasure.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And uh yeah, this this offseason, I just really want
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to just see what the best Malik look like and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: really put myself into this and to come out here
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and start the way I finished last season. And uh,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I started with nutrition and just really working on and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: just really taking it serious. And that's what I did
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and now it's, uh it's working well for me. Hopefy
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I could just continue and and be consistent. What are
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: some of those changes? Nutrition? Wise that you've done and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: how did you realize that you needed to do that? Um,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: really just looking at myself after last season, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I just felt like, you know this, this stomach was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a little too big, you know, I feel like I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: was still big, and I feel like I was just
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a little get tired, too easy. So I cut out
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of sugars um, you know, not too much bread.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Got a chef, and I really just just I just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: looked at what I was doing, had him do the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: right portions, you know, really not just eat over eating
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and eating, not eating till I'm hung till I'm full,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: eating till I'm satisfied. So uh just really was wont
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to take it serious man, and and I haven't. It's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: gotta continue. It could be difficult for defensive vineman to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: know his limit on eating, right, Yeah, it can be.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You know, you do understand what's going on. And luckily
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I have a chef here and the chef back in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the l A that keep me right and they converse
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and know what I'm doing and know my goals. So
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it's a wonderful thing on the field during the SoC
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: A period here, What can you guys get done in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the trenches because there are many you don't know, pads on.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: You know, the technique is probably more of a thing
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: than the actual um grinding against an offensive line. I mean,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. You can really get a lot done.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And I think what this stage tells us that you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: don't have to use your head to get things done.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: To teach you to use your hands, get your feet right,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and then you pros don't use their heads, They just
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: get it. They just use their hands and feet. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I think that's what we're teaching now. You can still
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: be physical, you still be fast, you know, you still
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: gotta think fast and be and be all that stuff.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But it just takes your head out the way and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it makes it safer, you know. Thanks for the c
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: BA and the NFL getting us right for that. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, I mean it's it's all the same. It's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just just less not I'm not gonna say it's not
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: even less physical. It's all the same. You just just
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: learn how to be a pro. What about the rest
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of the group on this g line, how they how
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: they come back for this off season program and in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: terms of shape and mentally and all that. I mean,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: obviously I came back the best in shape. Everybody else
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: came second and third, but I think everybody came back
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: ready to go. You know, we understand who's in the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: front office. We understand what they want and what they demand.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You know this this this last two years. You don't
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: come back to get ready, not ted. You come back
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: ready to get better and no ts and that's and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: in phase one, two and three, And that's what we know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and that's what we've been doing. And and everybody took
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: this very seriously because, like I said, we know those
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: people in front office don't play, and they want excellence
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and they demand excellence. So it's supposed to us to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: give it to him. You've got a first round click
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in your group now, shaven Brian and I guess the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: first thing I noticed when they and out there this
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: week for the first time was his size compared to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the rest of you guys. He can hang in terms
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of size with you guys. He's a rookie. Yes, he's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a young kid. But what do you think of Tavin
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Bryan Soon? No, I think he's a good kid. He's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: ready to learn, he's very coachable. I think he knows
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: what he wants to do. And he understands how to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: listen and sit back and learn. He has a lot
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of good players in front of him to learn from,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and he asks a lot of questions and he goes
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: out there and does it. Um, he's gonna be a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: great player for us. You know, we're gonna make sure
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: everybody met Marcel avery Calais especially gets him right, yar Nick.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Everybody doesn't get him right. And what we what we
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: learned and what he can uh retain. So he's gonna
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: be a real good asset for us. And I'm expecting
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: him to play the first year. Good stuff from a
