  Speaker 1: Jaguars Reporters presented by t I A A Bank starts
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: right now. Welcome in to Jaguars Reporters. Today is Friday,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: July twenty nine. We are wrapping up the first week
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of training camp on the players off day. J P. Shadrick,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, Ashland Sullivan. Let's rewind to Thursday and Ashland
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: field goals were incoming in your location today where I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: will say I joke with Mark Long's a little dramatic
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: on his Twitter account. Many co workers say, Oh my gosh,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: are you okay? I did not get hit by football.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It was fine, but oh yeah, we were in the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: danger zone for a live Jaguars drift time. It was
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: an awesome show to be out there. But maybe we'll
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we'll change sets next time. In March's drama extends to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the kickers, right, I mean, it wasn't a big deal.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: They were warming up. It was it was the first
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: thing in the morning and there swinging their legs whatever time.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's Mark, it's what he does.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Son isn't even up yet. Uh, it got up quickly.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It was warm out there on Thursday, it was very warm. Um.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Now we go from that situation, which was a little
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: over dramatic guys getting loose, to the first period of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: practice Thursday. It was field goals with the full team
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: out there. Well Santosa was four or four from various distances,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: starting from around extra point distance and moving back to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just past fifty yards. Mab Us, on the other hand,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: was one of four and he pushed all three of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: his misses out to the right. This is gonna be
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: scored and kept up all training camp. It's very early.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It's the first week. I think they've kicked actually twice
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: on the field and in four days, a first week
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of camp. So we just got to see a little
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: more under the lights, I guess. Moving forward, right, yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's worth freaking out about right now.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I agree, you know, two preseason games from now, if
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this issue is still occurring, then we talk about it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: My argument is, I don't know if you know this
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is these are one of your two kickers. If there's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a better option on the street, by all means, bring
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: them in. But I think your kicker is in this building.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We just have to wait to see how they play
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in preseason. Well, I mean sinto so I've watched in
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of just kicking drills and he seems fine
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to me. Um, you're gonna miss I mean practices a time,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: by the way, to make the mistakes, to try different things, techniques,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to get your foot work down on that. So look,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: here's what I like. He's six five to sixty. He'll
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: hit the end zone. You know, the hundred and sixty
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: pound kicker that was here last year. God bless him
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: for the game winning field goal in Miami. But you
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: can't have a guy who's putting the ball at the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: five yard line. You need the ball out of the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: back of the end zone to control fuel position. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it looks like Santoso is the guy to do that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And if anybody's worried about the kicking position, just put pause.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Let's wait and see what August looks like at the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: end of August. If you haven't, if one of these
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: guys hasn't separated, then maybe you go look for something different.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I thought about this just now. Who is the biggest
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: kicker ever? Janekowski's biggest in terms of waight, I mean,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: but he he was pushing at well he yeah, he
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: used the weight. Well, um, you know Mark Royal I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: think was six ft five is a punter six ft six. Um.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Darren Simmons, who was an Australian rules football player for
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: years with with the San Diego Chargers, was a big,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: tall guy. But I mean in terms of height and weight,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I've never know him seen a kicker like this. Are
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you're talking? He looks like a tight end. Yeah. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: think they tried to talk him into or he wanted
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to talk his college coaches into letting him play because
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: he they pulled him off the soccer team. Yes, and hey,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I can to tight end all this stuff. That coach
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was like, no, no, no, we need you right over there.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Well again, after a hundred and sixty pound kicker last year,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I favored the two hundred and sixty pound kicker this year.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We'll see if it works. Yes, all right, So Thursday
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was a red zone day. Also, in fact, most of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the practice and it seemed like the defense rule the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: day passes defense by a couple of linebackers. Trey Herndon
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: had a great play in the back of the end zone,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: ray Shon Jenkins had a nice diving play on the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: front left pile on at one point to break up
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a pass, and then Shaq Griffin. I thought I had
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the play of the day on the tip ball, got
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: his arms underneath and it made the interception in the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: middle of the end zone right, But even that, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: mean Evan Ingram let the ball get to his chest.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: He didn't get his arms up kicking enough. He was
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: slow to react, so the ball bounces right in and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: shacks like whoa Dame Shadrick's play of the day, thank
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you ANDVN. He came up to me afterwards and fist
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: bump me. He said, I'm the play of the day. Um,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: he actually did come up in fist bump he's He
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: had a great smile on his face. A couple of things.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: One they played with great energy on defense, didn't I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: mean Shock and Tyson Campbell and ray Sean Jenkins on
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the back end, and Evan Neil and Chad Muma and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker up front. But you know, in almost thirty
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: years of training camp JP, day three, day four his
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: where it flips. It's where the defense catches up. Remember
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: these coaches offense and defense, they talk, they script things out,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they know what's coming in a practice session, and so
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: they get their guys ready, they go over to installed them,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: they come over do drill. So it was only a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: matter of time before they caught up. And even Christian
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Kirk said in his postgame PLOSH practice news conference, Yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it's about day three, day four, that's when it happens. Yeah,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it's funny you forget that they this is your competition.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And when Mike Cobble how this his press conference the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: other day press Taylor was standing right behind me and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing? Why are you paying
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: attention this? He goes, what do you mean? That's my competition?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I have to pay attention to everything that he says.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: It's just you funny. It's funny that you think about like, yeah, this,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: this is their competition for these two weeks. And that's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: what's so interesting about covering a training camp, and especially
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: on social media platforms, is you say the defense had
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: a great day, especially the defensive acts, and everyone assumes
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that means Trevor must have been awful today, and that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't the case at all. It was just the defense
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: making place. You're allowed to have a bad day, if
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that's the way that you look at it. I tend
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to look at the half full and say, well, the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: defense played great today. Practices are so scripted out. Now
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the actual action what happens isn't scripted, but guys know
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: what's coming in a lot of cases, so it's gonna happen.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: It's not a game whole time. One final thought from Thursday,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Juwan Taylor off to the side and right tackle, so
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Walker Little took all the reps at right tackle. Thursday.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: We'll see it will be a day off. Of course
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: today on Friday they're back in shoulder pads. Will get
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to that coming up. He's got to earn that. Little's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: gotta keep earning it. But he's earned it so far.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, JP, we talked about this the other day.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: His footwork is really good and that's why he was
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a top recruit, you know, to Stanford, and he's so athletic.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: He just looks like that that guy with the reach
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and the footwork to be able to go out and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: capture those speed rushers and the ability to redren when
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a guy stems back to the inside and and shift
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: his body, and I think he's a special out. We'll
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: see if he becomes a special right tackle, but I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: think he's the boy. All right, let's a good time out.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: We'll come back in preview pads Ashland's favorite time of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: training camp and this is Jaguars Reporters. Welcome back to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars Reporters podcasting. With the Jag season right around
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the corner, there's no better time to lock in your
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: seats for its twenty two Unsure where to sit, Well,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: we've got you covered. Joined the Jags at the Bank
• 7:27

• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of Fame and Trimont Ceremony will be playing on the

  Speaker 1: big boards at the same time. Visit Jaguars dot com,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Slash my seat and r s VP today. Alright, so
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Friday off for the players at least, and then this
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: weekend camp really gets real. Shoulder pads Saturday, Ashland full
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: pads Sunday, and this is right up your alley. It is,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: especially when coach Peterson Thursday morning was talking about he
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was conferred, I mean basically that they're going to do
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: old line versus D line at individual drills. And that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is my favorite part because that's when, especially, you just
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: kind of get to figure out Remember the old days
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: when all you wanted to do was watch the quarterback
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: throw it was. Now I'm like a genuine NFL material
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: talking about the old line. Yeah, And I think this
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: is where, you know, we talked about the Joan Taylor
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to walk a little the battle there. This is truly
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: where you see who has the leg up. I I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: was talking chatting with Doug as he was walking off
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the practice field today and he just smiled. He's excited
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to have his guys in pads and and I said,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you know, caution, yeah, smart, but we gotta go. We
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: gotta we have got to get bodies accustomed to hitting
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and being hit. So I said, hey, I'm real excited
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to see them, you know the running. Oh yeah, he
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: is too. He wants to see these guys and see
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: if they've got their cohesion and the fits and all
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: those things in the run game because it's so critical
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to make sure you can run the ball so that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you set up everything else. So I'm excited because I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna a bunch of it on Sunday. And
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in fairness, you think about it, they play a game
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in six Stays. So for for coach Peterson to say, like, yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: we gotta go, there's that sense of urgency. There hidden
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: another team in six Stays. Do you know the last
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: time the Jaggers played in the Hall of Fame game,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: we had been right, we had been in Steven's Point
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: for three weeks and practicing twice a day, a lot
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of those in full pads. And now all of a sudden,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: here we are not even you know, ten days into
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: camp and you're traveling to Canton and to get ready
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to go play. Um, it's amazing how they have streamlined.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And Jeff Loghamans told you guys, he told us in
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: drive time. UM, the player safety side of it, they've
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: really they've dialed in, you know, and they're taking care
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of these guys. But it just amazes me that, you know,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: we used to have those two full weeks of at
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: least two weeks of camp of the dog days. So
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: there are no dog days, not for this team. You
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: mentioned the offensive line stuff and the old line D line,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: that we'll get a chance to see Trayvon Walker for
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the first time in pads, and and he mentioned it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the other day, how excited he is to get the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: pads on two. And you know, let's let's be honest,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it was a little criticism outside criticism of that choice
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: at times. At number one. I think he's out to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: go prove some things. I think he's going to shut
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of people up on Sunday. It's about what
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you do at this level, what your physical attributes allow
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you to do. And when you see that cat, I mean,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you realize his physical attributes are so much different than
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: so many other players. I'm excited to watch and see
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: how quickly he is able to translate right to transfer
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: what he's learned into what he's going to do. He's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: an awesome physical specie. Yeah, we get to see Josh
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Allen to let's see your number four for Josh, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: his head is in the right place. It sounds like,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: let's see it when the pads are on. Yeah, I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: think I'd encourage anyone to go listen to his press
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: conference on Jaguars dot Com he won't say it. He
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: just has a different mindset. He won't say it. But
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: if you had a contract in front of you, yeah,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: we're all here professionally to be paid. So is he
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you put that contract and go, go, We're in this.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I don't. I can't imagine a player more suited to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: that than Josh Allen. He's so cerebral, understands what's going
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: on around him. I expect him to have a monster year.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Ashlan Sullivan will be on NFL network Saturday. So excited.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you JP for tweeting it out and telling everybody.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Well, there was a there was a
• 11:18
