  Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com training camp coverage. JP Shadwick was CBS
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Sports senior writer, and I do mean senior.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Right, Okay, JP at Risco already good after that. He
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: hasn't even really started yet. You know, to give me
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: cracked one.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Day in camp, that's all right. I'm glad you brought
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: your shinebox today.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Ye I had to stand on that thing makes me toll. Hey,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: when you interview a quarterback was sixty six. It's hard
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: to get the mic up that high.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get right into it. You got with a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: quarterback after practice today, and hey, it's year two in
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the scheme for him. He's got weapons all over the field.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: What'd you think of Trevor?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: He had a good practice today. I mean they lit it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I mean late in the practice he threw an interception,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: but for the most of the practice he lit it up.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have a big year. I've already
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: picked him to be the MVP. I picked I picked
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: them to the MVP of the league. And I think
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: he's gonna have a special season. I told him today,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: forty eight hundred passing yards between thirty five and thirty
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: seven touchdowns, and and this team has a legitimate chance
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to be the number one seed in the AFC, not
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: necessarily saying they're going to be the best team in
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the AFC, but because of the division, they're gonna play
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: four games against rookie quarterbacks, maybe five or six, depending
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: on if Will Levis somehow ends up being a quarterback
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee. They get a rookie quarterback against Carolina, they
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: get a quarterback who hasn't played much in Atlanta. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: mean it's favorable. The schedule is favorable. They get Buffalo,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: not at Buffalo, they get him in London, Big so
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I think the schedule's favorable to get them the twelve
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: or thirteen wins. And if that happens and he puts
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: up the numbers, I think he's gonna put up He's
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: gonna end up being the MVP.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Weapons all over the field. We know what Kirk and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Jay Jones did last year. You add Ridley to that mix,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: who's uber motivated. I think to prove a point and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: get back that he's among those elite receivers in the NFL.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You can argue where in that stratosphere he could be
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: if he's healthy. We'll find out. I think this year
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I think we're finding out early. He can certainly hang
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in that field.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's any question. You know, is
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: he justin Jefferson Jamar Chase in that class. We don't
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: know that, but probably not, but he might be right
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: right there with you know those AJ Browns and digs
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and what they meant to their team. Look at AJ
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Brown with the Eagles. Look what he did for Jalen Hurts,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs went to the Bills, and look what he
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: did for Josh Allen. So I think if you look
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: at it from that standpoint, I think it's a great Actually,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it's one of the best acquisitions in the entire offseason.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't the offseason, but they got him last year,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: but it really is the offseason because he wasn't eligible
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to be reinstated. So it's a great move. He was
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: close to being a one receiver in his last year
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta, and now I think he can be that
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: guy and he's gonna open up everybody else. I mean,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a hard offense to cover.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: How do you cover the receivers? And then if you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: put seven in the box, are going to run the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: ball on you they got running backs right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You have and not only that, you have Evan Ingram
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: catch the ball as a tight end. You have so
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: many different weapons you can use a bunch of different
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: plays for Agnew to get him the football and get
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: creative with that. Etm is going to be a better
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: runner this year than he was a year ago. We
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: started seeing that late in the season. He can catch
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the ball out of the backfield. Short yardage was a
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: problem last year. They gotta be better. I think one
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of the things that make them better will be Fortner
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: getting stronger. You know, Fortner was still in the SEC
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: last year. He'd get on a guy, and even in
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the SEC as good as is, if you get on
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a guy and you don't hold your blocking, guy's not
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: going to make the play. In the NFL, if you
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: get on a guy and you don't hold your block,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: he's making the play. So I think that's where his
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: strength will be better. I think Sheriff being healthy will
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: make him even better. You know, there's concerns up there,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: no question about it. What do you do when when
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Cam Robinson comes back off the list? Sure, what if
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Walker Little's playing really well at left tackle?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He's a good problem to have.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: He's probably the future left tackle, so you got to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: make a decision there, and then the right tackle is
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a rookie. You'd never know what those guys, although he
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: has looked good so far.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Pepe Prisco with the CBS sports all right. Defensively, this
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: team was near the bottom quarter of the league in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: total defense past defense, but they were opportunistic. They took
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the ball away a bunch. It's not like they went
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: out and brought in a bunch of new faces. There's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of the same faces. They're counting on development
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of some of these key pieces, certainly the first round picks.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I talked to Devin Lloyd today. His head seems clear.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He's a little bit stronger. He understands the rigors of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what it takes in the NFL, and some of the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: noise from the outside I think got to him last year.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And then a guy like Trayvon Walker, where's his best spot?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I think those answers will come sooner rather than later.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And that's really the big difference. On defenses. The personnel
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: is pretty much the same.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: But that's when everybody discounts. When they look at teams,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and the good teams specifically is when you look at
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the good teams, who's going to take the leap from
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: year one to year two, Who's taking the leap from
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: year two to year three. You mentioned guys taking the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: leap from year one to year two. I think Lloyd
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: will his head was like you said, his head was
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: spinning last year. You can see it on tape. Every
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: time he's trying to get lined up, He's gets a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: luwakan to line them up, which in turn hurt a luakon.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: So I think he'll be better. I think Cisco will
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: take a leap. He's going to be better, stronger. Yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he's going to be better player. You look at Tyson Campbell,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: as good as he was last year, he'll be even better.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: So that's what people don't look at is how guys develop.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Walker has to be a big time pass rusher has
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to be they can rush them more inside. I think
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: he can beat the guard inside, So I think he
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: might go in there some. But he's from what you know.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Talking to Doug Peterson after practice, he says the offensive
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: linemen are raving about the moves he's learned in the offseason.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: That's what he had to do. We talked about it
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: every Monday, JP runs right into the center of the tackle.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Not anymore.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Twelve win team.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It should be if they don't. Let's put it this way.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: In my mind, if they don't win twelve wins, it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a fail.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: A fail fail. It means they're in the playoffs, though
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: correct if they win eleven.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: If well, maybe eleven gets you in. But I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: they want they got to a fail at eleven. You
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: gotta see higher ground. This is a number one seed.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: This team needs to be playing, getting a buy and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: playing with the number one seed. And I think it's
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: there's possible. The schedule's favorable. Kansas City in week two
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: is a bonus for you. Buffalo in London's a bonus
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: for you. You normally wouldn't get those Those are those
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: are games that you have to find a way to win.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And if you find a way to win those games
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: with the way the rest of the schedule is, I
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: think they end up with team now. There's always this though.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: They learned how to win last year. They learned how
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to win close games, they learned how to win playoff game,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: they learned how to win big games. Some of these teams,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: like everybody's anointing the Jets already they haven't learned how
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to do it yet, so that's a big advantage for him.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: But now comes the tough part is keeping the edge
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: to do that again. And I think it's sustainable because
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of the quarterback. Whenever you have that guy, it's sustainable.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Pete. We're looking forward to Jaguars Happy Hour Monday at
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: debuts for the season.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Hopefully I can call in because I'm not going to
• 6:39

• 6:53
  Speaker 1: so they didn't want to stick around for some reason.
