  Speaker 1: Welcome into the j P. Shadrick Podcast. Today is Monday,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: August thirteen. That coming up today, always good to talk
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: ball with the big man in the middle of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive line, tackle Marcel Darius By now you've heard
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the Jaalen Ramsey and Dante Faller junior suspensions. The
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: team did not announce a length for them, but national
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: reports have it at a week, which means they could
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: miss the practices this week in Minneapolis and Saturday's game
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: against the Vikings. That announcement closed a heated Sunday at
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the Dream Finders Homes practice complex. The practice that day
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: was in sweltering conditions and there were a number of
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: drops by receivers in the day. Then late in practice
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: came a scrum when James O'Shaughnessy the tight end was
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: hit hard by Jalen Ramsey. Well Dante Feller Jr. Came
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: in from the sideline, and then Blake Bortles entered the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: fray and all the rest of the Jaguars. Not long
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: after that, a few plays later, practice ended, and then
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the post practice incidents began, with Quay and Fowler squaring
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: off and Ramsey verbally attacking the media on the field
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: just to begin at the end of the day. This
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: locker room is filled with alpha males and they're trying
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to be the best, and they're under a lot of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: pressure to get it done on the field. This year.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Things get heated from time to time. It wasn't the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: first and it won't be the last camp fight. Now
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Fowler and Ramsey get some time away from training camp
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to think about it, and the Jaguars are moving on
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota, and what feels like a pretty good time
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to get away. This feels like a good opportunity this
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: week for the Jags to measure themselves against a team
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that went just as far as they did a year ago.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Two good days of work in the practice fields against
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the Vikings before Saturday's game in Minneapolis. Now we quickly
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: get to a visit with Jaguars defensive tackle Marcel Darius.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We caught up Saturday after practice and always great to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: talk football with him. It was another hot onood on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Saturday as well, and we'll get into his eighth training
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: camp in the NFL, what his daily goals are for
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: practice and what this team expects to do in twenty eight.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Team your eight NFL training camp. How is this one
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: compared to maybe the previous seven in terms of your
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: stamina and your ability to be out there day after day.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: How does this one compare to the past? The big
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: difference is the heat. Haven't been out here and you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: haven't been out here and heat like this since Mold
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: College days, UM and playing early in the season some
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of the teams in Florida when the heat is like this,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we being out here day in the day out it
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: takes a toll on you, takes some getting used to UM.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's just getting acclimated to it. UM.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: This is the workload is a part of the workload
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: outside of just having the workload UM, but it brings
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the camaraderie with the guys where we're close and we
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: know we all have to be out here and we
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: all and we know we all have to endure UM
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: for what we're trying to get done for the season.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: As a as an eighth year player, how do you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: balance playing time in the preseason getting your work in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: with staying ready for a Week one because we know
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you want to play something, but we want you ready
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for a Week one against the Giants. How do you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: balance that as an eighth or guy here, Oh, you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: just you gotta when you come into you come into
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: your home stadium like we did a couple of days ago.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It just you gotta gotta gotta control your your anxiousness.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You're just just being so anxious and just I like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to call I like to say your readiness, like you're
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so ready, but you gotta gotta hone it in, you can't.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: You just gotta you only got a couple of players
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to let it go. Then you gotta gotta really all
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: back in and cheer. So it's like you're looking at
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you're looking at a guy like Danny that that that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that that move didn't work for next job. There's no
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: next job, so you don't really get into the full
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of mind state, but you get a taste of it,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and it just makes you ready for the next game.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I guess this defense there's a it's a talented group. Obviously,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we know that. You guys know that. I think, how
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: do you not get to ahead of that, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and continue to put the work in every day and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: not rest on what you guys did last year, because
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that could be that could be easy to do, But
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it seems like This group is focused and poised to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: be one of the great units effort, which seems like
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that's the goal, right. The goal is just to be
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the best that we can possibly be. We're not in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: any competition with anyone else. We're just in competition with ourselves.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: What we did last year, it was last year. That's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: not even the same team. So it's a whole new Google,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: whole new unit, um communications Stars all over again. It's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a completely new relationship. You broke up from your girl
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: last year. You got your new girl and you're trying
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to work on communication and you want things to go right.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna see how how things go. And we're
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: just we're just studying making this bond strong. The day
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to day is veteran. You you have something probably you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: want to work on a training camp, you'll go out
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: with maybe a checklist of things. Being this far into
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it in your career, I mean, you still have things
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you want to work on on a daily basis out here,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and what have you been working on lately at camp?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I got I have a checklist. It's just a small
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: checklist of things I know I want to be at
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: once the balls on over, once the season gets get going. Um,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: so it's just marking down my checklist. And I always
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: want to have timing. Mine is all timing. Some people
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: who have get off. Mine is all timing. Is just
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: getting that beat, getting that time, and getting that rep. Oh,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: just focusing in on the little things that I have

  Speaker 1: to prepare for the next day. The guys across from
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you on this Jaguar's offensive line. Um, take us through
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the play of Brandon Lender so far in camp, highest
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: paige center in the league, but pretty good player two
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: at that center position. How's he been and how's it
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: how's been the battle inside against him? Well, he's a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: good guy. He's pretty smart. Um. I love his balance,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: his hands placement. Um. When I say balance, I mean
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: like his body control. I mean he's a hard no
