  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: What the hell's that about?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: It?
• 1:45

• 1:48
  Speaker 2: want to state the obvious.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Another one of our competitions, right, what.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Do you mean what?
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: I've never seen somebody eat the way James.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Glads, Oh yeah, you've seen that before. No, and not
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: gain a single pound the other day. I can't even
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: describe what he ate, but it was brutal. It was
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: like thirty minutes of entree, dessert, entree, dessert, entree, dessert.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Just back to do salad, nothing else, And some days
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: we'll be go and I'll get to hell. What did
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: you just said? Multiple desserts a single sitting.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he goes and go cake, pie, cobbler.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: And then walking and he always grabs cookies or he's
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: eating cookies. Were walking to the stairs upstairs, We get
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: to the door to go stairs, he's like, I want
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: to know cookie, walks back and go get more cookies
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: to come back.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So that was that officially, four desserts.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Two desserts, and that might have been two separate sessions.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: Sessions, but he's unstoppable and the dude does not gain
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: one pound right that way?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: What was your playing with that?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Let's go let's go back to the content.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: If it were the listed weight versus the reality weight.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there're two different things.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Listed weight was probably plus give or take one sixty five.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: A couple playing weight was under one fifty.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Really, oh yeah, nice.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: So you had the old high school trick, let's inflate
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: the numbers a little bit.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, every number you I mean, when.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Your dad's the play caller, right, you're talking about truly inflated.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: You're getting plugged with the football right as a pass catcher.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: So it was definitely inflation.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: All right, so along those lines, I got I got
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: a question to ask because in front of the sally
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: is the game board.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, and uh.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: There's players you know what at school they went to
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: a year, they're in their height, weight. And the one
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: thing that I noticed, because I was using my board
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: from last year and then was making the new one
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: this year, there was a lot of players on the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Jaguars roster that somehow became shorter, and some of them
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: might have changed the weight a little bit. But how
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: do guys get shorter from one year to the next.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Did we finally have a reporting of true height?
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: That's an interesting one.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: We got a new ruler in the weight room.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we're using the metrics system. I was just wondering.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I would guess once a player is in, you don't
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: really think about it anymore.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: I'll be completely honest. I don't look at how what
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: how tall they are. I might look at the weight
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: to see who's overweight from what they're supposed to be,
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: But I could not, like unmust James. Maybe he's changing
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: the right way, but I don't. I couldn't tell you
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: how kind The only person I know who how tall
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: he is is Fred Johnson? Because he's the only one
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: taller than me, so I could tell you how tall
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: anyone else is looking.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: At By the way, a lot of people may be
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: wondering what position that that you played?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I tried playing wide out.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: You didn't try? You did?
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: First of all, has anyone ever seen the highlights from
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: high school with.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Him Country Scars?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Dude? They're awesome? Hey play him next week?
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Like what I mean, I can't remember where they were,
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: but so one of our fans like search the archives
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: and pulled them out and they are legitimate highlights.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Is he possession receiver? Is he a good rap big receiver?
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: Like hands out of really like if it's touching the hands,
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: it's caught.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But also dB both ways.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Now, he did highlight one thing that I did not
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: pick up as I was watching these videos.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: See any tack you.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Notice you saw new tackles A good pointed.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I was out there on you know, some some known
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: passing down. But like we say, Tony, don't get fooled
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: by the playlist, right, you gotta watch the.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Watch, watch the tape. It's a fun little clip though.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Well, there will be some tape from this game on
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Saturday night the Steelers and the Jaguars coming up. Liam
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Cohen today said the Jaguars will play, and he said
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: that really kind of There was a few guys that
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: nudged him over that decision, and Hainesy was one of those.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Basically in the locker and the weight room was like, hey,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: what are we doing? Like, we need to play. And
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that's a good sign when the locker room's telling you
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: we want to go play and learn both sides of.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: The ball, right, agreed.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: I think this is going to be a great next
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: step in the process of creating who this team and
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: their identity is going to be.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I think this is a telling piece to the puzzle.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: When you got players who were initiating that trigger, we
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: were entertaining a number of different thoughts in the lead
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: up to this decision internally, and I think that was
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: a big part of the why we ended up going
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: this direction. At the end of the day, we're going
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: to have to face an opponent who we're unfamiliar with
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: one week to the next, and this is a great
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: opportunity for our players, our coaches, and our staff to
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: get prepared for that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I was just kind of interesting because when when I
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: heard what the decision was. First thought kind of goes
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: back to from a player standpoint is that as a player,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: you want to know in advance whether you're going to
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: play or not and give me an idea just because
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: mentally you want to get ready for it. Because you
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: know I was telling JP this earlier, is that you
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: know they have the old saying that you know your
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: game face, your your game state of mind, all those
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: things are real because sometimes it takes you need to
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: take yourself to a little bit different place sometimes get
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: ready to play a game.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Preach well, I think I think it's uh, this year
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: is a little bit different. I think for everyone in
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: the building because everything is brand new. We have a
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: bunch of brand new faces, new system, how operation, how
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: we're doing things, and expectations. So I think it's important
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: more than ever. And I think that's where you're also
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: see guys come in and say, hey, we want to
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: play like we want to be out there. But I
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: do agree one hundred percent, Jeff. As you get moved
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: through the process year after year, and even we go
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: through this process in the preseason, it's important to communicate
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: to our players so that they can prepare themselves and
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: especially for our veterans because listen, I know for me
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: it's a preseason was a challenge because as a veteran player,
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: you might be trying to achieve something completely different than
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: a guy, a young player trying to fight for a
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: roster spot. Like when you and I are veterans, we're
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: getting trying to prepare ourselves for the regular season, and
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: so that's a different mindset. You still have to get
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: in game mode because it's live and people can get
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: hurt if you're not playing at your best, no doubt
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: about us. So you have to get to a level
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: that's wildly different than a guy who is a rookie
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: trying to earn a spot or a back end roster
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: guy who's like he is fighting for his life. And
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: so they're going into that game much like we would
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: in a regular season game with that mentality like hey,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: it means everything. And so to give our veterans the
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: opportunity to say, hey, you are playing and this is
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: like this is the plan, so that they can get
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: their minds going and prepare for what they're about to
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: encounter and get in the right headspace. Football is a
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: dangerous game, and you want to make sure everyone's ready
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: to go play the game the right way, because when
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: you don't play it the right way, that's when people
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: get hurt.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: The one thing I never liked as a coach would
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: tell you, hey, look, you know you're going to play
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: you about twelve to fourteen snaps and in your mind
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: you got this, that's three, that's four five.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Tell me you're doing the very thing you shouldn't do.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Why to me? Why to me?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Just say you're going to probably play thirty snaps and
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: then take me out after twelve or something like that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: You know, but don't give me a Just.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Say you're playing the first half, yeah, and then you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and then take me out. That's our first quarter. I'm
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: okay with it. Whatever.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Just give me something that's bigger than what it's expected.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: You know what when this decision came about, I mean,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: did the three of you guys sit down together it
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: kind of come to a consensus on it, or how
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: did it come to this?
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Ultimately it's going to be Liam's decision. In these types
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: of instances, we'll provide our perspective and insights. You think
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: back to where Liam and I both got started in
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: the NFL.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: We were part of probably the.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Trend of not having starters and even contributors known contributors
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: perform in the preseason. We leveraged joint practices when we
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: were with the La Rams and we had our primary
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: ones and twos not participate in preseason games. And so
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: last year he got some exposure to having the offensive
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: line in particular in Tampa Bay get some preseason ops
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: because there were some moving parts. Because there were you know,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: it was a chance in their eyes to get on
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: the same page. Because that's a position group in particular
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: where all five working in conjunction is going to be
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: far greater than any one individual performing at a high level.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: And I think just that game feel and in this
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: specific team that we're playing this upcoming weekend, it gives
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: us a different defensive structure to go against versus what
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: we've been facing on a daily basis here in training camp.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: So that even allows for a step, even if it
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: shows it presents challenges, hurdles things like that to address
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: now rather than in real time in the season. Those
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: are things that can be very very helpful and ultimately
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: lead to major growth opportunities between now and when we
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: kick off.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: You bring up a great point about Okay, you're a
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: four to three defense in Pittsburgh Steelers has been three
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: four forever yep. And here's a chance to see a
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: different scheme and then also some different body types for
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: your offense. And that's that's a great opportunity. And on
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: top of just playing against different players, which is always good.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: You know, a different scheme, a different style, a different
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: body type is always good.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I like that. Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: I want to go back to the question you asked
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: of like how do we come to the decisions? I
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: think it's important to highlight for our fans get asked
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: all the time like how do you like whether it
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: was the draft or free agency or your question there.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: It's a great question. I think one of the things
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: that is really important to James, Liam and I is
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: understand everyone. All three of us understand each of our
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: roles and respect that. And so while in this decision
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: it is one hundred percent Liam Cohen's decision whether our
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: starters are in play or not. The great thing about
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: the relationship that we're building and have built to this point,
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: that's built on trust and so Liam getting input and
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: takes that input. James gives his perspective of what he believes.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: I have a perspective that might be the same or
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: different coming from a different vantage point. All valuable, not
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: saying one's better than the other. But I think what
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: I've found fun is that you have the individual. In
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: this case, it's Liam his decision to make no difference
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: in the draft. When we decided trade picks away to
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: go pick Travis Hunter, that was James's decision. Ultimately he
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: had to make the final call at the same time
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: getting input from the group, having that kind of collaboration
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: and talking through any situation, but then also being comfortable
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: and all of us being comfortable and respectful to say, hey,
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: this is Liam's decision, and whatever that decision is, hey,
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: we're in it together. We're gonna stand by it, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: we're going to march forward based on what you decide.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: No different than the draft free agency, very clear, the
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: roles are clear. But then at the same time, the collaboration.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: I think that's important for our fans to understand is
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: we go through these decisions. Whatever that decision is, it
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: might be made by an individual who's ultimately responsible, but
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: it's done in collaboration, with trust and support, and then
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: we're going to live or die by whatever that decision is,
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: because we trust Liam as our head coach and he
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: has the best feel for the team, what's happening on
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: the practice field. The state of the player is what
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: he needs to get and his coaches need to get
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: out of the players to prepare for opening day against Carolina.
• 13:52

• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Gosh, I hadn't gotten that's an exaggeration. That might be
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a to go to an event
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and take my place. Last night he turned it down.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Let me guess. It wasn't the couch.

• 15:37
  Speaker 6: I literally have not been on the couch for a while.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I got to get back on the couch. I mean,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: you promised it to us like years ago. I know,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: but then I lost privileges and I don't know what
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I did to lo This.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Is a lounge area.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: There's like front rollers, right, it's the it's perfect bottom
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: tier in the back.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: You have these beautiful couches with a perfect view, eye
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: level view of the stage and it sounds amazing.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: My wife had a chance to go and she she
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: was raving about it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I think it was.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: So she's been and you haven't even been invited.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I haven't been invited.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: But maybe the next question you should ask James, would
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: you go if you were invited?
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: That's there's layers to that. Yeah, there's layers to that. Response.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Take a little different here. What what do you mean layers?
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: It's not a black and white yes and no default.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Usually most things on planet Earth there's a little bit
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: of gray space, and this is.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: One of them.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: So you don't you don't live like live music?
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: I do, I'll probably it will It depends on probably
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: who's the tardist.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, actual, simple question. Who I'm going going down the path?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: This is a rabbit hole.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: It sounds like the rules we just saw just or
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: heard just a minute ago off the air.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Are there rules to a concert going.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: To No, there are no rules, no rules. No, it
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: is all all open. I'm open to.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: The greatest chore you've ever seen.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, do you want to James?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I the question?
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Ask me about things outside of football.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Anything that does not have to do with football. If
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: you ask him, there's no talent we're going to get
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: as an answer.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Gosh, No, that's a yeah. Let's not go down there
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: because I don't have an answer.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna come off that path and go down another.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Our crack research staff during the break went and found
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: James Gladstone.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Highlight.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: If you're watching Jaguars, he's wearing number four and leading
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the team out of the tunnel.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: He's a cow. He's playing on defense. Just an interceptions.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: QB was pretty good, made life.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Easy touchdown and it's two feet in. Who is your quarterback?
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: That was?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: It? Guy by the name of Dalton Hewitt.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: He was a freshman when I was a sophomore. He
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: was actually the reason why I moved to wide receiver.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, another pick.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: So you were a two way player again, known passing
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: downs defensively.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you were Travis Hunter before Travis Hunter.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: No, so this was Yes, I'm thankful that they did
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: not have the low lights, that's for sure.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: That's awesome staff digging it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Out of the depths of YouTube. Let's go.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this will be cherished for a long time.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys diving in Nothing better than Friday night football.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: In high school.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: That's the truth.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I'm being honest. There's nothing better.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: That's the truth.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's touch on some of the highlights of practice
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: this week. And Tony you said physical practices too, padded
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: practice Tuesday Wednesday, and Liam Cohen, Trevor Lawrence, some of
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: the guys said after it wasn't the best offensive day
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Tuesday overall, but that feels like they bounce back on Wednesday.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: But take us a little more on the physicality part
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: of what you liked and saw well.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think, first of all, typically in a
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: practice and no different than when Jeff and I played,
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: one side is gonna feel better about that day than
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: the other. And Tuesday was a day the defense probably
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: felt a little bit better. They had a good day,
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: they played well and offensively, probably a little bit of
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: frustration and when you're head coaches and offensive side of
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: the ball. I mean, you know, that's the way it goes.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: And so there's an emphasis going into the next day
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: for the offense saying hey, and we have leaders on
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: that offense that have a lot of pride, guys like
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Robert Hainsey, guys who like, hey, this is important Trevor,
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: like we need to step up. And I think what
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: was fun for me and especially as an offensive lineman,
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: watching them come out Wednesday and while our defense was
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: still very physical, really coming up and step up the game,
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: being physical in the run game, just all around.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: And we had some plays that were highlighted by.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Coach in the team meeting room where there were good
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: learnings and good moments on both sides of the ball
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: within a single play where you could really see the
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: physicality to the line of scrimmage, the backs going downhill,
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: receivers coming up and getting into the run game and
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: blocking and being physical some great throws by Trevor in
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: the past game. So I think the only way you
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: can be a physical team is you have to practice physically.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: And I think this team this camp, and I give
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Liam and our staff a ton of credit on this
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: because of the point of emphasis in the offseason. They
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: talked about it constantly. It was a point of emphasis
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: at the start of camp of what is expected, what's
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: the standard, the style of play we want. Liam does
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: a great job communicating to our players in every setting, team, meeting, field,
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: and our players have responded and taken ownership of that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: And you don't know until you see it on the grass.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: And to see that last week as we got into
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: pads this week continued guys are tired, it's hot, it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: hard to rise to the occasion and come out and
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: play that way. I think that's a good sign. And
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: Saturday night's the next test that Jeff talked about it.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Different bodies, different jerseys, body types, different fronts, three four
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: structure and seven four to three structure. It's another opportunity
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: we're going to learn about who we are and ultimately
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: all building to the climax kicking it off in September
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: when now we're keeping score and you find out you
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: have adversity, and you find out who you are as
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: a team, what's your identity and how do you respond
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: to every opportunity you have? So these are all building blocks,
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: but it was fun. It's a good physical football, run game,
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: getting after it, guys just crushing each other. It was
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: a lot of fun to watch them.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I want to go back to Friday Night because the
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: whole night impressed me. Number one is that you have
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: a real scrimmage ninety one plays. I mean a lot
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: of volume, ninety one plays, and it was quality plays.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: It wasn't let's do a walk through play here and
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: do a half tempo play here. This was live tempo,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: with the exception of bringing the ball carriers.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Down to the a couple of plays, guys did take
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: guys down.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't say that too much now you'll get in trouble.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: But I thought that that that was impressive Number one.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: But number two, these were ninety one unscripted plays for
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: the most part. I'm sure I'm counting a special teams
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: play in there, but I've never seen a scrimmage to
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: where a coach goes into it with plays that are unscripted,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: to where the offensive staff has a play in mind
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: that they want to run. The defensive staff just knows.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: All they know is the personnel and the down and distance,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and they're making a play call. I thought that was
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: a great exercise in game day management. Above and beyond. Hey,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: let's figure out where we stretch before.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: The game, the mechanics.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, now, I think all this and there's not much
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: to add to what Tony already had articulated with what
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: we've seen from this week's practices. Really, as we get
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: into this next phase off the heels of last Friday
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Nights mock game, we're hunting up a clean brand of
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: ball and you see everything that's been articulated from our
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: coaching staff in the meetings starting to show up on
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: the grass. Players starting to bring it to life, really
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: embrace it and body it. And I think as we
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: get out to Saturday night for kickoff, you're looking for
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: as the physical demands continue to level up, where does
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: the mental fortitude find itself? Are we able to maintain
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: that clean brand of football? Are their penalties? Are their
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: mental errors? Are they're not?
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Are we able to.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Operate on a plane that fits the bill for what
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: we set the standard, the expectations and look forward to
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: seeing that all unfold here and certainly through failures through
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: successes over the course of a training camp, you start
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: to build some version of callus and a little bit
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: more stability, and hopefully that shows itself when the lights
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: turn bright.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: So plus we're going to see tackling. Yeah, so that's
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: another downpoint. So right now we've been in thud and
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: so you're like, yeah, we think it's a good run
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: and we're going to get to the second level. But
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: the guy who got an arm tackle, can he bring
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: our guy down or does the back run through it?
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Another we talk about James talked.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: To there's been a really tony you know this. There's
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: been a lot of really good tag tacklers, very.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Good tag tacklers, but Anthony Cappinelli are defense great. It's
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: been a point of emphasis from day one. They do
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: a lot of drill work on it. They drill it
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: over and over about tackling. Well, this is the first
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: time we're actually gonna see it come to fruition. And
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: it's another thing. We talk about mental airs, we talk
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: about penalties. Miss tackles is another thing. That's how you
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: Sometimes the difference between winning and losing a football game
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: is how you tackle. It's an opportunity for us to
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: go out there against other bodies in a real football
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: game and say how do we perform that task because
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: we don't know yet at the end of the day.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: We just don't know because we haven't.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Done it yet, and obviously Saturday night isn't the end
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: of the story. That's another chance for our players and
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: coaches to level up, work off of that opportunity, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: continue to grow before ultimately we get to the regular season.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Let's come back in a moment, final thoughts with the
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: James Gladstone and Tony Busselli on the Liam Cohen Show
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: on Jaguars Radio.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Welcome Back.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: The Liam Cohen Show, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Welcome Back on the Jaguars Radio Network. Final Moments with
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: James Gladstone and Tony Bisseli, JP Shadick with Jeff Loghman.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: The preseason Week one matchup against the Steelers Saturday night,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: seven o'clock and it's presented by Wolson Children's, the official
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: children's hospital of the Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll go through some
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: of the updated entry points to the stadium for fans
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: a little bit later in the show. But it's got
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: to be exciting to finally get under the lights and
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: some real football. I know, James, you talked about this.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: You want to see some real football. You're going to
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: see it on Saturday night.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Finally, Yeah, as long as I can find my way
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: to the field. I know he walked in with you
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: really minute here?
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Was that your first It might have been one of
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: your first times in there.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: Ye's right, that's right, Oh yeah, it's it's it's been
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: enjoyable getting to know the lay of the lands, so
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: to speak.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: And uh, it's like where should we watch upstairs or
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: on the field. I'm like, let's watch them stairs. We
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: see everything. He's like, well, how long is it going
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: to take us to get down? Like about you don't
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: want to miss a snap?
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: About a minute? Wells working?
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: I had to confer elevators working there are everything will
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: be working Saturday night.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: They didn't work for a little while the other night,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: but they got going. They got them going.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Eventually every entry open here.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: The facilities team did a great job under Chad Johnson.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: I mean the amount of work they've done at that
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: stadium and how they've gotten it ready for our fans
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: and our players, like hats off. Friday night was an
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: amazing You mentioned that it was on the field, but
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: also I want to highlight what our staff did behind
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: the scenes to make it a good experience for our fans,
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: but also our players and their families, just first class.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Looking forward to Saturday night. A lot of work has
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: been done by Chad and his entire team to make
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: sure the facility is ready for our fans, players, coaches,
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: and so it was a good test run make sure
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: all the kinks are out, all the wires are connected,
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: because a lot of construction's been going on. So looking
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: forward to Saturday night and looking forward to making sure
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: the GM gets to the right spot, and.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Just to heads up for all the people listening out there,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: this is going to be an evolving, changing situation throughout
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: the course of the year with some of.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: The I think prior during preseason, this first game, I
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: think it will evolve to opening day and you guys
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: got the details, but I think once we get into
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: a rhythm and don't expect too many big changes throughout
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: the season once we get going. But again, you got
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: to be agile and flexible, flexible once you.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Get into the stadium, it's gonna be a great experience.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: My next question goes to that point exactly, flexibility.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Fun to watch Friday night and the scrimmage and your
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: offensive line guys were switching positions, which when you get
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: into the course of a season, challenges happen with injuries
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: and everything else. In the best combinations, unless you kind
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: of are working guys at different positions, you really don't know.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: And James as a general manager, the versatility of players
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: that you acquire for your roster got to be absolutely critical.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: That's right, and especially at the offensive line spot.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think we've done our part in communicating
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: just how intentional we are about building up the depth
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: of that unit as a whole.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: And even beyond that.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: Really, what are you you prioritizing most, especially when considering depth,
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: and that is the versatility. You get Patrick McCarey, who's coming.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: From Baltimore and started at all five spots.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: You get Wyatt Milam in the draft, who's now played
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: four of the five spots for us, even before he
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: steps foot in his first preseason game. And so those
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: those two things, and there's plenty more to discuss, but
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: those two things really jump out when you talk about
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: who can be active on game day, because let's just
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: say you carry ten on a fifty three man roster, Well,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: you only got up to forty eight active on game day,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: you better have some guys that can flex across multiple
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: spots should any one or two or three players.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Actually go down at the position group.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: So that is key and critical and it has been
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: a big part of our decision making process in which
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: OL we actually target in particular.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that to James's point was it this
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: was we were seeing it now and we're seeing the
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: benefit of guys being able to play multiple positions. But
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: it was I give James a ton of credit leading
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: us through the process of when you know, from the
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: time he got here at the Combine first day to Combine,
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: through free agency and draft, it was a point of
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: emphasis led by James and saying this is how we
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: need to attack it. Liam felt the same way obviously
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: as an alignment. I was all on board and going
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: through the process of making sure and James talking to
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: him and through experiences that he has lived through in
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Los Angeles of when you don't have that depth, and
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: I think all of us as players, Jeff, you and
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: I Jp've watched a lot of football when you can't
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: block people up front and you don't have the depth
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: at OL and you lose guys. You talk about an
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: offense being crippled and really being ineffective and hard to operate,
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: just down in and down out. And so I think
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: one of our thoughts from the beginning, and James highlighted
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: from day one, is like, hey, we're gonna make sure
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: we have depth quality depth quality players at OL. It
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: was a point of emphasis, and we executed and so
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: far it's going well. A long way to go though,
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: and we still got to go see it in live action,
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: but it's been fun to experience it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Will start seeing it at Saturday night, Steelers Jaguars coming
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: up at EverBank Citiuny.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: James, thanks for the time.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Let's do it again next weeks.
• 31:04

  Speaker 3: gonna miss Paselli in the booth on game day. I
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: mean it's you know, we've been together for I don't know.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I have to go back and look how many years
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: when did he jump in? There?
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Was that right when Tinton got the rights?
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't remember what you was fourteen, Me and
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Brian Secon for many years and then maybe and then
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: until twenty thirteen was the twenty thirteen was the first
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: time with him. Yeah, So I mean, heck, it's a
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: long time together. And then now it's it's he's not
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: gonna be there. I mean, we're still going to do
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: a great broadcast. Franksch do a great job, and Bucky
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: can be involved a little bit more as well.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: But it's going to be different, very different.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: And you know, when I was talking to these guys,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: it's a minute ago about that whole flexibility with the
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: offensive line thing. I remembered a quote that was told
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: to me a long time ago when I first came
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: into the NFL, and it was from the head equipment
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: manager of the New York Jets and his name was
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Bill Hampton Sr. I mean, I'm talking top, top tier
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: type of guy, Okay, level one, awesome guy. And he
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: always had a saying JP when same thing kind of
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: goes to the verse tility, he said, young man, the
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: more you can do, the more you can do. Just
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: remember that the more you can do, and he was
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: referring to as a football player, the more you can do,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: the more valuable you are. But I think he also
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: had a little bit of side reason for saying that,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: and that's that he wanted some help folding the towels
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: and doing the laundry, which we used to actually help
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: him do it sure in the back, you know, I
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: mean back before the NFL has become what it is today,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: and we used to go back and we'd help the
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: guys in the equipment room do their thing, and they
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: loved it, you know. But it was reminded me of that.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Good to hear.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: About the physicality of practices this week about that. I
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: mentioned that and then during happy hour. I mean it
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: was impressive to me, not just you know, the practice
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: or the scrimmage which I said, ninety one plays and
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: it was physical, it had meaning to it. But you
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: go back to every every padded practice that has happened
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: so far has been meaningful contact. It hasn't been oh, well,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: you know, we're not going to hit this guy.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hurt myself.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is you can just tell that this
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: is a group that is focused and is playing football
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: in its purest form, which requires contact. Let's come back
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: in a moment. We'll hear from the head coach Liam Cohen.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Starters will play for the Jaguars sat against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: This is the Liam Cohen Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome Back.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: The Liam Cohen Show presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to the William Cohen Show presented by Fresh
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: from Florida.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: J P. Shadwick with Jeff Vlogman and head coach Liam Cohen.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Earlier today.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, the starters and everybody will play against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: Came in to wait room the other day on the
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: day off and we talked about it and wanted to play.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: A lot of the guys want to play.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: So you know, actually you got.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: Two new systems on both sides of the ball and
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: the one joint as I mentioned, so it kind of
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying it ties your hands because you can
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: do whatever you want, but it just kind of everything
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: leans that way as probably being the best thing for
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: our team right now.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: A kind of convention.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: No, No, Hainsey not convinced, but he just came up
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: the other day in the weight room was just like
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: what are we doing, you know, and I'm like, I'm
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: still working on it. We want to play, you know,
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: and Trevor as well and some of the guys, So yeah,
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: it'll be good.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: It's Liam Cohen.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Earlier today, Robert Hainsey, who he's referring to the Air
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Jaguars Center, was with the Cohen down in Tampa.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: So when you have that kind of buy in from
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: some veteran players in the locker room, that's a good
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: sign about the way things are going.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: It feels like to me.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I think it's it's pretty cool
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: that a veteran guy.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Wants to get the reps. A lot of times guys like.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'm good, I'd rather not, you know,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: end up having to do the extra work and just
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: let me go ahead and sit this one out. And
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: but you know, here's the reality. It's where you are
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: as an organization. You need to improve, you need to
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: get better. You have a first year coach, you have
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: a first year off, you have a first year defense.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: You have coaches that haven't called plays before on one
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: side of the ball. You have a whole new chemistry
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: building with the coaching staff. On the offensive side of
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: the ball. You need reps. You need reps. The more
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: reps that you can get, when I say reps, quality reps,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: The more reps that you can get that are good,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: the better off you're going to be into the regular season,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: and especially to start the regular season. And we all
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: know that fast starts always lead to good results, and
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: this team has an opportunity at getting some wins early,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: and if you can stack a couple early, it would
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: do wonders for the psyche of this team and the
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: culture that you're trying to believe always needs a little
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: bit of belief. Wins provide belief. Let's return to the
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: moment Travis Hunter's piece of this equation on Saturday.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: We'll see if you have answer. I can't wait.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: I mean it's literally again, that's the headlines from a
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: wide standpoint, and we can't forget the headlines. We'll dig
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: into that when we return. If you still have a microphone,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: I might knock it away, but it knocked it away.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: It's the Liam Coach Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 38:11

  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: He's uh, he's had a nok camp. I wish he'd
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: make made some more of the contested catches, but you know,
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: and some of the guys that have been at camp
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: have been like, hey, hey.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: How come he's not making those catches.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I remember last year and watching Brian Thomas junior. Kim Look,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: he's been good at camp. He hasn't been and the
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: superstar that he was last year in the season yet.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: But I remember last year in training camp and watching
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: him and me and Vaselli had this argument because I said,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: I think I think he's going to be the best
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: deep threat here since Jimmy Smith, and he just started
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: just going, oh, what are you talking? About you can't
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: and I was like, look, I said, I think this
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: guy's really specially he's got great speed.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: But I didn't.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Realize that he was going to be what we saw
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: last year. I thought that he would be kind of
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say one trick pony, but somebody
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: that was had a defined role. But once he got
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: into the regular season, there was this change in personality.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: He goes to game day and he enters that dark
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: place because he was in Miami and he was one
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: talking smack Jim Reds on that first quarter and.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I was going, who's this guy? And I love it.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: You saw a little I mean they go in the
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: stadium for the scrimmage. You mentioned he hadn't been making
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: contested catches and there's some things kind of what is.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Lights come on?
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: And the lights came on a night and he's catching
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: balls all over the field to touchdowns. He's he's not
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: a morning person. That's why with James and Tonian here
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: we were talking about the great tag tacklers, and James
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: after we went to a break said there's some Thursday
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: all pros and that there are those that and you
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: never know this until you actually get to the point
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: of game day when the lights come on. Some have
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: the ability to elevate their level of play higher than others.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Some they actually take a step down because they start
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: thinking too much. Others are the exact same. What you
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: see in practice is what you get. And then you
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: have those special players like Brian Thomas Junior. Well, when
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: the lights turn on, he turns on and it's fun
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: to watch. Those players are the great ones. I'm excited
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: to see how Travis hundred deals with the same thing here.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: An't wait to see College just fine. I can't wait
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: to see And you know, we were actually talking a
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: little bit ago about watching him on both sides of
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: the ball. And I always have said this that the
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: past is the greatest indicator of the future. Is that
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: you can get and the Jaguars pr staff I give
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: him credit. They had a great nugget in the release
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: for the game this week, and I'm going to read
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: it because I mean, it's I think it's pretty telling.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: If you look over the last two years, Travis Hunter
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: took two thousand, six hundred and twenty five snaps total,
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: and that was going all the way back to twenty
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: three and twenty four. On the offensive side. That was
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: seven hundred and fourteen of eight hundred and twenty three snaps.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: That's that is ay six point eight percent, eighty seven percent.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: On defense, he took seven hundred and forty eight of
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: nine hundred and two snaps. That's eighty two point nine percent.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: So and there's people, I guess that think that he
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: can't do it at the pro level.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: He just took two six hundred and twenty five snaps
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: in the last two years.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: We'll see how many he gets on Saturday night, both
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: sides of the ball.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm just looking forward to seeing him elevate his
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: level of play on game day because there's a different
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: gear that everybody has, and I know he has one too.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Let's come back.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Final thoughts, final moments of The Liam Cohen Show on
