0:40
Speaker 1: strength and conditioning and meetings with coaches to talk football
0:43
Speaker 1: are finally allowed. A few players met with the media Tuesday,
0:47
Speaker 1: including quarterback Trevor Lawrence for the first time since the
0:50
Speaker 1: end of the regular season. I was here for the
0:52
Speaker 1: offseason ocously. Traveled some train in California for like a
0:56
Speaker 1: week and a half two weeks. Um, that was kind
0:59
Speaker 1: of like the beginning of the off season, right when
1:01
Speaker 1: I got back into throwing. So I went to see
1:02
Speaker 1: some some people out there and UM, kind of like
1:05
Speaker 1: a vacation and start getting back into training, and then
1:08
Speaker 1: since then, I've been working out here Jacksonville, throwing at
1:11
Speaker 1: some of the high schools nearby, and um, really just
1:14
Speaker 1: working a lot, a lot of mechanics stuff. When I
1:16
Speaker 1: was out in California, making some tweaks and just wanted
1:19
Speaker 1: to feel better with my arm, not used as much
1:22
Speaker 1: arm kind of get everything SYNCD up, UM all that
1:25
Speaker 1: and I think that helps a lot. So still just
1:27
Speaker 1: drilling those things. And then obviously just strength stuff in
1:31
Speaker 1: the weight room, continuing to work that and flexibility and
1:34
Speaker 1: just making sure, um, like last year, you know, I
1:37
Speaker 1: was fortunate to be healthy, which is an accomplishment, you know,
1:39
Speaker 1: play seventeen games, an adjustment from college and get through
1:42
Speaker 1: the season healthy, Like I'm thankful for that, but just
1:44
Speaker 1: trying to make sure I can do that again and
1:46
Speaker 1: just be sustained and UM, make sure my body is good.
1:49
Speaker 1: I feel great, So I'm excited. Who's your quarterback coach?
1:52
Speaker 1: So I went and trained with three d QB Adam
1:56
Speaker 1: Dato those guys in California, and then UM, I have
1:59
Speaker 1: a personal trainer. It's more strength training, nutrition, all that stuff,
2:03
Speaker 1: a little bit quarterback stuff. His names Will Um who's
2:06
Speaker 1: from Clemson and I hired him, so now he's here.
2:08
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, what about the new guys? Yeah, they
2:14
Speaker 1: the other guy. What do you do to try to
2:16
Speaker 1: fold them as fast as possible? Yeah, just I mean
2:19
Speaker 1: we've been we started throwing a little bit altogether this
2:22
Speaker 1: first time we could use the facility, so um offseason. Obviously,
2:25
Speaker 1: most of those guys that are new didn't get here
2:27
Speaker 1: until right before we start O t A, so they're
2:29
Speaker 1: trying to you know, find places all that, So I
2:31
Speaker 1: didn't get to work with them much this offseason. So
2:33
Speaker 1: now we got a lot of time. You know, we
2:35
Speaker 1: have two weeks of just throwing our own and then
2:38
Speaker 1: we'll have that period and after those two weeks where
2:41
Speaker 1: we start getting out there with some coaches, some routes
2:43
Speaker 1: on air, all that stuff, so you've got time to
2:45
Speaker 1: progress into it. I feel like we're in a good
2:47
Speaker 1: spot right now. It's I think more important just to
2:50
Speaker 1: get everybody speaking the same language when we're doing the
2:53
Speaker 1: installs whatever it is. Get everybody on the same page
2:55
Speaker 1: so when we're out there and we're all saying the
2:57
Speaker 1: same things, Because if you're out there and no one
2:59
Speaker 1: really is on the same page and you call routes
3:01
Speaker 1: different things and makes it more difficult. So we're getting
3:04
Speaker 1: there now, we're working towards it. Really, like you know,
3:07
Speaker 1: from what I've from from when I've talked to him
3:09
Speaker 1: and I've been around him, I really like all the
3:12
Speaker 1: new guys that we have. I think they're all grinders,
3:15
Speaker 1: really hard workers, and we'll bring a we'll bring something
3:17
Speaker 1: this organization needs, you know, the right attitude, just the
3:19
Speaker 1: right guys. I think that's just as important as getting
3:22
Speaker 1: a great players as guys that are gonna do things
3:24
Speaker 1: the right way, and I think all of them are
3:25
Speaker 1: that way. From what it seems. What do you like
3:27
Speaker 1: about I really like his demeanor. He's really really calm.
3:32
Speaker 1: I mean similar honestly to to coach Bebel as far
3:35
Speaker 1: as demeanor, really calm, never gets too highed too low. UM,
3:39
Speaker 1: So I really like that. That's the type of guy
3:40
Speaker 1: I like to be around. And then as far as
3:42
Speaker 1: just offensively brings some different things to the table. Obviously,
3:46
Speaker 1: we haven't been together for long. The only really started
3:49
Speaker 1: on on Monday, so I can't say too much right now,
3:52
Speaker 1: but I really like the way he thinks about things
3:54
Speaker 1: and just how he the offense is so complimentary UM
3:58
Speaker 1: and just how he schemes things up. I think it
4:00
Speaker 1: See does a really good job of fighting the weak
4:02
Speaker 1: points of defenses and exposing them. And I just think
4:04
Speaker 1: he's really smart. And being able to talk to him,
4:07
Speaker 1: I think we aligned pretty well and we were on
4:10
Speaker 1: the same page. Quarterback Shaquille Griffin gave his initial impression
4:13
Speaker 1: of the Jacks coaching staff for two and much more.
4:17
Speaker 1: Get a chance to see the new coaches um for
4:19
Speaker 1: the first time and have everybody back, you know, it's
4:21
Speaker 1: been It's been awesome. It's a different field. I love
4:24
Speaker 1: that feeling and get a chance to be with coaches
4:26
Speaker 1: who have experienced in the league. You know, the first
4:28
Speaker 1: day we met with coaching and people are saying, yeah,
4:30
Speaker 1: I was in the league ten years, eleven years, ten years,
4:33
Speaker 1: twelve years that have actually played. That's amazing to me.
4:36
Speaker 1: And that's the person who can understand anything that I
4:38
Speaker 1: might see or go through or maybe in the future
4:40
Speaker 1: that can help me out. So I like the atmosphere
4:43
Speaker 1: is different because it's so relatable other than the experience
4:46
Speaker 1: of this coaching staff. What from an organizational standpoint, from
4:50
Speaker 1: a cultural standpoint, even though you have a very limited
4:53
Speaker 1: window to judge it feels different to you. Um, we're
4:56
Speaker 1: going off the that last game from last season, off
4:59
Speaker 1: that win, that winning game. I feel like a lot
5:01
Speaker 1: of people are ready to build off that. You know,
5:03
Speaker 1: we came in uh speaking about that, you know as
5:05
Speaker 1: a locker room something that we continue to build off up.
5:07
Speaker 1: But I feel like now everybody is really buying in. Um,
5:11
Speaker 1: let's talk about the players who was here, you know,
5:13
Speaker 1: use the all season people leave, We had a lot
5:15
Speaker 1: of players who came back and sat here and really
5:17
Speaker 1: trained at the facility because they wanted to get a
5:19
Speaker 1: chance to get with the players because last year was
5:21
Speaker 1: our first year with each other, you know. And you
5:24
Speaker 1: talk about Chris Claire books coming with me every day,
5:28
Speaker 1: coming here to train and try to get better when
5:29
Speaker 1: you don't have to. You know, there's no cameras, there's
5:31
Speaker 1: no coaches, and no media, but we out here working.
5:34
Speaker 1: We don't care who watch it. So I feel like
5:36
Speaker 1: that shows a lot about the atmosphere with his team.
5:39
Speaker 1: And I'm telling him, man, you gotta go get it all,
5:41
Speaker 1: you know, and you're doing that, it's gonna push everybody
5:43
Speaker 1: else to want to do better. So that's already started
5:45
Speaker 1: when we were doing your training and y'all catching the ball?
5:48
Speaker 1: Was that from a judge machine? Is that from one
5:50
Speaker 1: of the quarterback stro owner or whatever? You get both.
5:52
Speaker 1: So you can go throw a tennis ball right now.
5:54
Speaker 1: I'm gona try to catch it. But it don't matter
5:56
Speaker 1: what it was, but jump machine. And you know I
5:58
Speaker 1: have my driver who actually dates with me. So shoot,
6:01
Speaker 1: you ain't dry, you better throw the ball. It goes back,
6:03
Speaker 1: y'ard real quick. You throw it to me. I remember
6:05
Speaker 1: reading someone with fitz Gerald was saying, he says, nothing
6:08
Speaker 1: like watching the football come off some one finger when
6:10
Speaker 1: they comes to learning how to catch. So jump machine works. Uh,
6:15
Speaker 1: like I said, my driver helped throw the ball, my
6:17
Speaker 1: chef and help throw the ball. Shot. Uh, my little
6:19
Speaker 1: two year old, he run around, he throw the tennis ball.
6:21
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go die for it. So any time I
6:23
Speaker 1: get a chance too, I'm practicing. Hold on, you're a
6:27
Speaker 1: driver something like that. And he lives with you kind
6:33
Speaker 1: of sort of h So, okay, the mystery man is
6:38
Speaker 1: actually my right hand man, my best friend, cousin brother.
6:41
Speaker 1: He got every single label, every hat. Uh. Tito Bells
6:44
Speaker 1: someone who has been with me since I was about
6:46
Speaker 1: five six years old and after a while, you kind
6:50
Speaker 1: of know the story is gonna be put out one day.
6:51
Speaker 1: One day. I don't want to get a whole story.
6:53
Speaker 1: It's pretty good, but long story short, is the guy
6:55
Speaker 1: who I told him one day want to finally here.
6:58
Speaker 1: I want to build you know what I'm saying. Take
7:00
Speaker 1: care of me. You you know you did so much
7:02
Speaker 1: for me and my brother and his family. I want
7:04
Speaker 1: to make sure we're in a good place. And this
7:05
Speaker 1: person who got his every license, CDLs, whatever it is,
7:08
Speaker 1: and he's just always been a certified dropper. Even when
7:11
Speaker 1: we got our first restricts saying license, he was the
7:15
Speaker 1: one always driving. That was always this thing. So getting
7:18
Speaker 1: a chance to come back to Florida, he's from St.
7:20
Speaker 1: Petersburg and you know, and be able to make money
7:23
Speaker 1: that I think I was able to take care of
7:24
Speaker 1: him and be able to take pressure off myself. So
7:27
Speaker 1: he's my driver and my assistant, uh, my counselor don't
7:30
Speaker 1: matter what it is. He's right there to help out.
7:32
Speaker 1: So it makes a lot of stuff either. So it's
7:34
Speaker 1: easy to come here and have this type of energy
7:36
Speaker 1: because I have so many people at home help and
7:38
Speaker 1: take pressure off. So how much did you know about
7:40
Speaker 1: Darius Williams before he came here, and what are your
7:42
Speaker 1: really impressions of him? Well, I was in Seattle one
7:45
Speaker 1: and he was with l A. So I played him
7:47
Speaker 1: twice a year and he always played great against us.
7:50
Speaker 1: Don't matter, he probably gotta pick every time great or
7:53
Speaker 1: pick six every time he played. So yeah, I definitely
7:55
Speaker 1: know about Darius Williams and uh it's cool. Uh he's
7:58
Speaker 1: already make an impact here now, you know, even just
8:01
Speaker 1: speaking up, you know he's already playing that role up.
8:04
Speaker 1: They helped lead this this defensive back room. So it's awesome.
8:08
Speaker 1: You know, it's someone who I can learn from. You know,
8:10
Speaker 1: we can help each other get better. You know that
8:12
Speaker 1: something I'm going to continue to compete with. But I
8:14
Speaker 1: love his game. It's early, but how comfortable would you
8:17
Speaker 1: be moving inside potentially? Man, put me in whatever you
8:20
Speaker 1: want to put me at. I'm ready to play, and
8:21
Speaker 1: I think it. I just want to win. I just
8:23
Speaker 1: want to win really really bad. So don't matter what
8:26

8:34

Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com programming. Second year cornerback Tyson can Bull
9:00
Speaker 1: joined Ashland Sullivan, John Oser, and Brian Sexton on Jack's
9:03
Speaker 1: Drive Time Tuesday morning and talked about the voluntary part
9:07
Speaker 1: of the offseason program. What do you get the most
9:09
Speaker 1: out of? Is it being in the locker room with
9:12
Speaker 1: your teammates again, is it the workout? So I can
9:14
Speaker 1: imagine maybe the film sessions and being in a meeting
9:16
Speaker 1: room in person is really valuable. Yeah. Well, now that
9:19
Speaker 1: we have a new staff, like the meeting time is
9:23
Speaker 1: very important, just learning the new defense and and learning
9:27
Speaker 1: a new player that you're playing with and kind of
9:29
Speaker 1: get a field. You know how they learn and you
9:31
Speaker 1: know what helps them best. So I think the meeting
9:34
Speaker 1: room and also the weight room to uh, you know,
9:36
Speaker 1: we guys said, we've got a new strength coach, so
9:39
Speaker 1: just learning his workouts and you know, just it's just
9:42
Speaker 1: good to see everybody you know by our name. So
9:45
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what it's like for an NFL
9:47
Speaker 1: rookie coming in with an entirely new world. Um, how
9:51
Speaker 1: much I guess more settled, more ready, more ready for
9:56
Speaker 1: what's coming. Do you feel now than you did this
9:58
Speaker 1: time of here? Again? Yeah, definitely. I think um that
10:03
Speaker 1: that later half for the season, the game slowed down
10:06
Speaker 1: for me a lot, and I was reading things easier,
10:08
Speaker 1: I was reacting things faster, so like mentally, I just
10:11
Speaker 1: calmed down and that just kind of just makes me
10:15
Speaker 1: feel like I was playing fast and to play motion
10:17
Speaker 1: type games. So it just felt good. So I think
10:20
Speaker 1: coming into next season, you know, us finishing last season
10:23
Speaker 1: off for the win, hopefully it can you know, carry
10:26
Speaker 1: on into a great start for the next season. What
10:29
Speaker 1: would you say was the biggest lesson What's at the
10:31
Speaker 1: top of your to do list. I've got to get
10:33
Speaker 1: better at this or I've got to develop that in
10:36
Speaker 1: order to take your game where you wanted to go.
10:38
Speaker 1: I just want to be consistent, be able, to be
10:44
Speaker 1: you know, reliable, accountable out of all times just letting
10:49
Speaker 1: my teammates look like when they throw that that side,
10:51
Speaker 1: you know, Texans gonna do yes to do when they
10:53
Speaker 1: be breaking up the ball, getting an exception, uh, you know,
10:57
Speaker 1: making a third out of stop. Just all those things
10:59
Speaker 1: I just want to do on a consistent level. And
11:01
Speaker 1: then of course I wanna um make more plays on
11:05
Speaker 1: the ball. Uh, I make more tackles, causing more turnabos,
11:09
Speaker 1: force phone sec. I just want to do it all.
11:11
Speaker 1: So I want to be a guy like on the
11:13
Speaker 1: team that you'd be like, you know, Tyson's gonna and
11:16
Speaker 1: do his thing each and every Sunday. So when you
11:19
Speaker 1: look back on last year, are there plays where you think, Okay,
11:22
Speaker 1: this year, I'll get that because I'm just ready. I'll
11:25
Speaker 1: be more aware. I'll know more about what's going on. Yes, definitely. Uh.
11:30
Speaker 1: Usually you know, as a corner you gotta have a
11:31
Speaker 1: short term memory, but after each game you watch film
11:34
Speaker 1: and go over stuff. So you know, when I was
11:36
Speaker 1: watching film earlier in the season, so many plays that
11:40
Speaker 1: I could have missed out on. But you know, like
11:43
Speaker 1: you said, I definitely feel like it's some place that
11:45
Speaker 1: I left out there, and I hope to you know,
11:47
Speaker 1: make those up this season. Jack's Drivetime airs Tuesdays at

Speaker 1: feel like it was much bigger than me, and I
14:56
Speaker 1: can't try to make sense of I just got to
14:58
Speaker 1: make the best out of the situation. And I feel
15:00
Speaker 1: like that's how I've been able to just keep it
15:02
Speaker 1: before each and every day I feel like guy said
15:04
Speaker 1: me down for a reason, and I'll be able to
15:06
Speaker 1: sort of world who I am this year? And when
15:08
Speaker 1: did you first sort of start feeling like, I guess
15:11
Speaker 1: the clouds were parting, if you will, and I felt
15:13
Speaker 1: good about it and sort of felt like, Okay, this
15:16
Speaker 1: is gonna be all right, honestly, honestly, just really recently, okay,
15:21
Speaker 1: like maybe three four weeks ago, when I got outside
15:24
Speaker 1: and I was started running and I I was like,
15:26
Speaker 1: damgn man, I'm still fast. Okay, So uh, once I
15:30
Speaker 1: got back out there and running and I got back running,
15:32
Speaker 1: jumping and just doing this, and I used to do, Uh,
15:35
Speaker 1: I feel like the clouds are parting when we return.

Speaker 1: the off season program. Check it out NFL Network candabis
17:43
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks joins John Ocean me each Wednesday on the
17:46
Speaker 1: Huddle Up Podcast. This week, with the players back in
17:49
Speaker 1: the building, it's an important time for the new staff
17:52
Speaker 1: to set the tone. I'm a start with Chikyo Griffin's
17:55
Speaker 1: quote and why it's relevant to where the Jaguars and
18:00
Speaker 1: how they can rebuild a program. He talked about being
18:03
Speaker 1: able to have coaches who have pro experienced guys who
18:06
Speaker 1: have played guys who are relatable so they can kind
18:09
Speaker 1: of relate to the struggles that take place between the lines.
18:13
Speaker 1: It's really important because the one thing that players want
18:16
Speaker 1: is they want coaches that have a level of credibility
18:21
Speaker 1: where when things get hard, the coach has to be
18:24
Speaker 1: a problem solved. And so it's not saying that someone
18:27
Speaker 1: who hasn't played can be a great coach. But there's
18:30
Speaker 1: a different connection that players have with those who have
18:33
Speaker 1: played because a lot of times those who have played
18:36
Speaker 1: understands that they understand the difficult downs that are player
18:40
Speaker 1: player may experience. Meaning when they're on the fields that
18:43
Speaker 1: hey man, that's a tough play. I get that we
18:45
Speaker 1: put you in a bad situation. However we need you
18:48
Speaker 1: to do X, Y and Z. Just that little caveat
18:52
Speaker 1: gives a player, um a little more confidence that at
18:55
Speaker 1: least the coach understands how hard it is between the lines.
19:00
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you have a coaching staff where you don't
19:02
Speaker 1: have as many guys that have played the game, sometimes
19:06
Speaker 1: they think that XS and oals on the white board, Uh,
19:09
Speaker 1: play out just like that on the grass, and it's different.
19:13
Speaker 1: It's different when you've got real players out there as
19:16
Speaker 1: the chef pieces, as opposed to all the things that
19:18
Speaker 1: you may draw up in the meeting rooms. Yeah, just
19:20
Speaker 1: the experience of of of having a young team. I mean,
19:24
Speaker 1: it's uh, but he talks about on the field, I
19:26
Speaker 1: can probably imagine how life is off the field better
19:30
Speaker 1: because I never played. It's a it's a Wednesday, and
19:33
Speaker 1: things are going weird and you're sitting in the meeting
19:36
Speaker 1: room with your coach and you can ask the coach, Hey,
19:39
Speaker 1: is this how it's supposed to be, And the coach said, yeah,
19:43
Speaker 1: here's what I've seen before. Here's what I saw eight
19:46
Speaker 1: years ago when I was in Houston, or here's where
19:49
Speaker 1: here's what I saw when I was in Miami playing
19:51
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. It's certainly I think for a young
19:56
Speaker 1: player who hasn't seen the NFL before, how helps to
20:00
Speaker 1: have a coach who's been in it for twelve years
20:04
Speaker 1: who isn't standing at a podium, which happened a lot
20:07
Speaker 1: last year, or even in the meeting room saying yeah,
20:11
Speaker 1: I'm learning about this too. That's okay. But it strikes
20:16
Speaker 1: me that this team right now is in a situation
20:18
Speaker 1: where it really needs the guy who's not saying yes,
20:22
Speaker 1: I'm learning too, it's yes, I can I can help
20:25
Speaker 1: you get through this. And I'm with Bucky. I think, uh,
20:29
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's always needed, but it sure
20:31
Speaker 1: feels like it's needed, and it's going to be a
20:33
Speaker 1: defining element of this team. Right now. Yeah, and so
20:36
Speaker 1: in some cases, um, it doesn't have to be. But
20:40
Speaker 1: you would like to have a little diversity on your
20:42
Speaker 1: staff in terms of mixture of the experience playing and
20:45
Speaker 1: coaching the experience because you have uh fifty three different
20:49
Speaker 1: types of guys coming from different backgrounds in charge of
20:52
Speaker 1: how they played, how they got to this destination in
20:54
Speaker 1: the National Football League. And so when you have a
20:57
Speaker 1: diverse staff when it comes to those experiences, you have
21:00
Speaker 1: different guys that can relate to different things. But when
21:03
Speaker 1: we talk about the youth and inexperience on the team,
21:07
Speaker 1: when you have coaches who have not only coached in
21:10
Speaker 1: the league a long time, but have played, they can
21:12
Speaker 1: explain the different cadence and rhythms of the season. They
21:16
Speaker 1: can stand in front of the team and say, Okay,
21:18
Speaker 1: here's where we are where the off season program. Here's
21:21
Speaker 1: what the objective is. The objective is to learn the
21:24
Speaker 1: basics of the playbook, to get the strength and conditioning part.
21:27
Speaker 1: Now as we're building up to the mini camp. Then
21:30
Speaker 1: they can stand again and say, hey, where we're at
21:32
Speaker 1: mini camp. Now. It's one thing to learn it, it's
21:35
Speaker 1: another thing to be able to execute it. And then
21:37
Speaker 1: we've got to be able to evaluate you on how
21:39
Speaker 1: you're able to take things from the meeting room to
21:41
Speaker 1: the field. But just those little tidbits along the way
21:45
Speaker 1: will help the team because they'll understand the objective of
21:49
Speaker 1: every situation. Where we are in preseason, where we are
21:52
Speaker 1: doing the regular season, all of those other things. I
21:55
Speaker 1: think that is the biggest thing from a credibility standpoint
21:59
Speaker 1: there since I've been eliminated like, hey, does this guy
22:01
Speaker 1: know what he's doing? Well, now that is out because
22:04
Speaker 1: they've not only played, but they've also coached, and they've
22:07
Speaker 1: done it at high levels because you have Super Bowl
22:09
Speaker 1: winners and Bowls regards. I've always said, JP, what you
22:12
Speaker 1: don't want is guys standing around the locker room talking
22:17
Speaker 1: amongst themselves, trying to figure it out. Yeah, and having
22:21
Speaker 1: little huddles in the locker room going hey is this
22:23
Speaker 1: coach me talking? So this guy? It's hard and once
22:28
Speaker 1: that starts, it's hard to get it rolling the other way. Um.
22:33
Speaker 1: And that's why again, last seven or eight years and
22:36
Speaker 1: JP and I have been working together, he's heard me
22:38
Speaker 1: eight a million times coaching about eight years, ten years,
22:42
Speaker 1: Well are we talking about it? Seems like twenty. I
22:44
Speaker 1: wanted to just sort of minimize that. But the head
22:49
Speaker 1: coaches and the coach's ability to have players believing in
22:53
Speaker 1: what they're saying to me, maybe you're too far the
22:57
Speaker 1: other way. Sometimes I think that's so much more important
22:59
Speaker 1: than I and knows. Having these guys on the same
23:02
Speaker 1: page and believing in you in professional football. Uh, if
23:06
Speaker 1: you don't have that, I think you're lost. And I
23:08
Speaker 1: think this staff is gonna have that. Yeah, culture matters
23:11
Speaker 1: more than scheme. The environment that you create matters more
23:14
Speaker 1: than the XS and os. If there's a level of connectivity,
23:18
Speaker 1: if the program is built on commitment, accountability, and trust,
23:21
Speaker 1: where everyone in the building, everybody on all sides, not
23:26
Speaker 1: only the football side, but the business side, everyone understands like, hey,
23:29
Speaker 1: here's how we go about doing our business. Then it's
23:31
Speaker 1: a lot easier because everyone understands what the standards are
23:34
Speaker 1: and how they have to live up to the standards
23:36
Speaker 1: and make no mistake. John alluded to something that I
23:39
Speaker 1: don't know if people realize this, but one of the
23:41
Speaker 1: first things that players do they go to the media
23:44
Speaker 1: guide and they look at every coach's background and they
23:47
Speaker 1: read this stuff. And if you come from a little
23:49
Speaker 1: spot and you don't have any relative experience. You can
23:52
Speaker 1: up there and expouse all these crazy philosophies and theories,
23:56
Speaker 1: but players are looking at you sideways when they don't
23:59
Speaker 1: believe that you know exactly what you're talking about, and
24:02
Speaker 1: you don't want to have those little side conversations that
24:04
Speaker 1: John is talking about. The Huddle Up Podcast runs each
24:06
Speaker 1: Wednesday on the Jaguars dot com podcast page and the
24:09
Speaker 1: Official Jaguars Podcast Network, and Bucky will be on site
24:13
Speaker 1: with us for the Draft in less than two weeks,
24:15
Speaker 1: joining our coverage throughout Draft weekend. We're looking forward to
24:18
Speaker 1: his insight here from offensive coordinator Press Taylor. After this,
24:22
Speaker 1: let's wrap this week with Jaguars offensive coordinator Press Taylor.
24:26
Speaker 1: He joined me on Jaguars Happy Hour Radio Thursday afternoon
24:29
Speaker 1: and provided insight to working with quarterback Trevor Lawrence in
24:33
Speaker 1: the meeting room so far and much more. The calm demeanor,
24:37
Speaker 1: the poise, the not streaming, you're not that's not your
24:42
Speaker 1: style and that fits right in apparently with the quarterback.
24:46
Speaker 1: That relationship obviously is key for the success around here,
24:49
Speaker 1: right of course. Yeah, it's it's all about putting all
24:52
Speaker 1: our guys in the best position to succeed. But obviously
24:55
Speaker 1: that starts with the quarterback. A lot of times when
24:56
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks playing well, everybody around him is playing well.
24:59
Speaker 1: U and that that's given him things that he likes,
25:01
Speaker 1: put in a position where he understands and we can
25:04
Speaker 1: come up with all sorts of football players. But if
25:05
Speaker 1: he don't love it, don't believe in it, it's probably
25:07
Speaker 1: not gonna work out. So we want to make sure
25:09
Speaker 1: we're in lockstep with him as we build this thing.
25:12
Speaker 1: Started to talk football this week for the first time.
25:14
Speaker 1: Maybe you've met him before, but you actually get into
25:17
Speaker 1: the xs and ohs this week with the offseason program.
25:19
Speaker 1: Finally there. What's the first thing that stands out about
25:22
Speaker 1: Trevor when you sit down in a football meeting room
25:25
Speaker 1: with him. He's very mature. He asked and a lot
25:28
Speaker 1: of times, you know, we haven't had a lot of
25:29
Speaker 1: football conversations, but he asked great questions, so that that's
25:33
Speaker 1: always one of the things that you know he's engaged.
25:34
Speaker 1: You know, you can kind of tell by the questions
25:37
Speaker 1: that a guy asked of kind of whether he likes it,
25:39
Speaker 1: where he's tracking, how he sees it um and he
25:42
Speaker 1: he and really all the quarterbacks, Jake and c J.
25:44
Speaker 1: They've done a great job with the questions they asked,
25:46
Speaker 1: the response they're giving, the engagement they're given. So it's exciting.
25:49
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of offensive minds around here.
25:52
Speaker 1: Obviously the head coach, you've been with him for a
25:55
Speaker 1: long time in Philly, Um, Mike McCoy has been in
25:58
Speaker 1: the league for a long time as a head coach,
26:00
Speaker 1: Jim Bob Cooter the passing game coordinator. Crafting all those
26:04
Speaker 1: ideas and philosophies together as one with the quarterbacks involved,
26:08
Speaker 1: I'm sure as well. Um, you know you've been in
26:11
Speaker 1: all those roles though, Quality control guy, Um, assistant quarterback coach,
26:15
Speaker 1: QB coach past, you've done all these things. How does
26:18
Speaker 1: that help you, uh, take in information from all different
26:22
Speaker 1: types of mindsets. Yeah, I mean, I know, I think
26:24
Speaker 1: part of it is, like I know how I liked
26:27
Speaker 1: being treated in each of those roles, and and and
26:29
Speaker 1: what kind of input I could provide and things like that.
26:31
Speaker 1: So part of it's being clear in your communication with
26:33
Speaker 1: what your expectation is for everybody. And and then at
26:37
Speaker 1: the on top of that, with a lot of you know,
26:39
Speaker 1: former quarterbacks, and guys that have coach quarterbacks are been
26:42
Speaker 1: coordinators in this league. A lot of it's everybody putting
26:44
Speaker 1: their egos side and realizing we we don't need to
26:47
Speaker 1: do what we all did in the past. This is
26:48
Speaker 1: about putting our guys in the best position to create
26:51
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville offense. And that's what we're trying to do.
26:54
Speaker 1: Press Taylor with US Jaguars offensive coordinator. You're balancing building
26:57
Speaker 1: the scheme. But you know, free a agency was here,
27:01
Speaker 1: still is, it never really ends. The draft is coming up,
27:04
Speaker 1: you know. That's all After arriving in like early February,
27:07
Speaker 1: it's not a lot of time to put all this together.
27:09
Speaker 1: How do you balance all the time for all three
27:11
Speaker 1: of those things? That's what I mean. At times it
27:14
Speaker 1: feels like it's in season schedule or we're just kind
27:16
Speaker 1: of here all day. That's the good and the bad
27:18
Speaker 1: of this. This business necessarily is like when you do
27:20
Speaker 1: have a sudden move like this, which a lot of
27:22
Speaker 1: us we all moved in from other places. Your family
27:24
Speaker 1: is kind of left behind. Now the bad part of that,
27:27
Speaker 1: you're not with your family, which we all enjoy in
27:28
Speaker 1: the offseason. That's the great part about life in the NFL,
27:31
Speaker 1: but it gives you the ability. Then you come in early,
27:33
Speaker 1: you stay late. We get a chance to kind of
27:35
Speaker 1: make up that ground with that time where maybe it's
27:38
Speaker 1: you know, football in the morning, personnel in the afternoon,
27:40
Speaker 1: playing for the next day at night. So that's kind
27:43
Speaker 1: of been the schedule we've all kind of worked off
27:45
Speaker 1: since we kind of got here, really kind of hit
27:47
Speaker 1: the ground run and when the players get here. In
27:49
Speaker 1: your past, you're kind of credited for some of the
27:52
Speaker 1: key plays in the Eagles run. We've known that from
27:54
Speaker 1: the old days, right, different role back then. You're now
27:58
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. Do you still try to dig and
28:02
Speaker 1: find new ways, new plays, steal ideas from college proteins?
28:07
Speaker 1: Is that still in your workflow? How much football do
28:10
Speaker 1: you watch on a regular basis otherwise beyond Jaguars tape
28:14
Speaker 1: and all that, and or does that come in a
28:17
Speaker 1: natural progression for an offense and your personnel. Yeah. Um,
28:21
Speaker 1: we're always looking for what we think fits us. So
28:24
Speaker 1: if you see a route on tape and Okay, that's
28:26
Speaker 1: a great route, do we have a guy that could
28:28
Speaker 1: do that that would fitness skill set? Does it fit
28:30
Speaker 1: everything else around that we're doing? Um? How expensive is
28:33
Speaker 1: it if it is something unique. That's one of the
28:35
Speaker 1: things we'll talk about a lot is how expensive is this?
28:37
Speaker 1: Do we want to invest in new ideas that are
28:39
Speaker 1: gonna cost a lot of time that we're not gonna
28:41
Speaker 1: get a lot of return on. So you spend a
28:43
Speaker 1: lot of time, and it's the things we're comfortable with.
28:45
Speaker 1: But the things that we feel like our players can
28:47
Speaker 1: do really well, um and we can teach really well.
28:50
Speaker 1: We can explain we have evidence of, but you really
28:53
Speaker 1: you want to know what you're talking about. Obviously, for
28:55
Speaker 1: the guys you want you have to be able to
28:56
Speaker 1: prove to them that you can put them in position
28:58
Speaker 1: succeed and then then give the things that they do
29:00
Speaker 1: really well. All right, you're what four days in now
29:03
Speaker 1: to the offseason program? Are you on track? What's coming
29:06
Speaker 1: up the next week or so? And and take us
29:09
Speaker 1: through just a normal day in the office right now? Yeah,
29:12
Speaker 1: right right now. So it starts, you know, players get
29:14
Speaker 1: in here about nine o'clock. Sometimes we have a team meeting,
29:16
Speaker 1: sometimes we don't. They get in there. They got the
29:18
Speaker 1: ability to lift and then we have the ability to
29:19
Speaker 1: meet with them. They go out and run with the
29:22
Speaker 1: strength coaches, but in this phase one portion we're not
29:24
Speaker 1: allowed to go on the grass with them yet. So
29:26
Speaker 1: it's actually great in terms of the teaching progression of things,
29:30
Speaker 1: where we get a chance to sit in a calm environment.
29:32
Speaker 1: There is no pressure to go out and perform on
29:34
Speaker 1: this play two hours later in practice right now, so
29:37
Speaker 1: you get a chance to ask a lot of questions
29:39
Speaker 1: to to see what their retention is on things. But
29:42
Speaker 1: it's really it's a pretty good process in terms of
29:44
Speaker 1: the progression of things and how we can teach our
29:46
Speaker 1: offense and we learn going forward. But I mean, I
29:48
Speaker 1: can just see it in your face. You can't wait
29:50
Speaker 1: to get on the ground down sunny floard to I
29:52
Speaker 1: want to get outside all right. Thanks to Press Taylor
