• 1:09
  Speaker 3: To back there.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been great. I think everyone's been a great
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: off season, and I think the you know, most importantly,
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: you know, from the time you leave a great off season,
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: you have this five week period you're like, let's just
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: make sure everyone comes back healthy, ready to go, because
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: they're on their own, and you hope you have the
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: right type of individuals that it's important to them because
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: they can do whatever they want. They could go sit
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: on the couch and eat Dorito's for the whole time
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: and they can budget Look at me when you said that,
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: we I mean looking at the group, You're the one person.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: But U.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: And so for me, it's and being been having been
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: a player and knowing what that looks like. You have
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: this five week period of what you're gonna do with
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: your time? Are you a pro? And you've come back
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: in better shape thing when you left, ready to go
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: achieve what you're trying to achieve. And I would say
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: to a man, to watch these guys and what they
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: did and how they came back in the first two
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: days of not real football, but preparing to go play
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: real football, and what they have done on the field,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: it's just it makes you happy because you just don't know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: a little.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: Bit more of a sense of urgency, you know now
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: compared to the OTA stuff.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: You know, there's more competitive you know there is.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: But the thing that's been really cool, there's been an
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: emphasis on being sharp, right, being smart in the way
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: we're practicing, and you know, for the last year and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a half, right establishing both this mental and physical toughness.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I think that's easy to show itself, more so on
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the physical side because it's such a violent and physical
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: game right now. There's such intent, especially without pads on,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: for it to be sharp and mentally tough in that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: regard discipline in our action, and you know, the penalty
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: counts being very low, the style of play being very clean, professional.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It's just come off as a really cool operation through
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a couple of days.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: So, uh, getting back to the Cheetos on the couch story,
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: So did you guys during your break? Did you guys
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: sit on the couch and eat doritos? What did you
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: guys do?
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: I would say this, I didn't.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: You got something to share about your shoulder.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't do what the players did. I enjoyed myself.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I did do a lot of working out, I mean,
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: and the workouts we did was pretty light. So man,
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: we we did some workouts. We tried, we tried to
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: meet the standards.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: For that of you know, the reserves in the Navy.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: So James Lee and I went on a vacation and
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: we were some other people and we had a little
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: competition because one of them was a Navy reservist and
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: he had to go back and do his Navy test
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: physical test and it was a combination of push ups, plank,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: and a run o bike.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Well we did.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: We were in a place we could not run, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: so we did the push ups and planks.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I passed. You did a push up?
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, wow, Oh yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: It's all based off of your age less.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Than James, but uh it was.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: We all passed. James hit the highest standard you can hit.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, so he won.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I'll get lucky every now.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, James was gonna.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Win as clearly.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: The only exercise he did, by the way, although the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: one surprising thing I didn't think he was gonna make it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: He had to do a plank.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: His age group was a plank for three and minutes,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: nine seconds, ten seconds something like that. So you thinfteen
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: seconds and started seconds. He's he's like, I'm not gonna
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: make it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Gonna be so you're not You're not a la Quinn
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Allen Jr.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Like he made made it certainly not physically.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Mentally.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: I feel like, yeah, I thought that. Fifteen seconds he's
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: started shaking. He's like, I don't think I'm gonna make it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: And ten seconds later he was still sitting in that position.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: I hate the lower level of the plank. Just to
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: be full transparency, I okay, yeah, minute thirty I was like,
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: does this pass?
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: You pass?
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: I'm out.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I'm out record records.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: So but there was not a lot of working out.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: There was a lot of enjoyment. Uh spend time with
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: uh family and wife and took a trip with the
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: kids and and uh so it was good. It was
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: good to get back. And it's funny you go, you
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: work all year, grin you know, and we say work.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: We got to do what we love to do. So
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: let's not let's not kid kid. Anybody very thankful to
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: shot pages and you know, do what we do in
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: the game of football. But you know, it's a long
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: year and you go through it and you say, okay,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I got five weeks in the family's probably as excited
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: as anybody, But then you find yourself in vacations like, man,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: I cannot wait to get back, and that's when you
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: know you're pretty blessed to do something you love to do.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: So I was so excited to get back in the
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: building and get with James liam our staff. And then
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: it's like the first day of school. Remember, like when
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: you're a kid, when you actually like school and you're little,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: it's like first day of school. You get to see
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: all your friends. Absolutely, that's what it's like in this building.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: It's like, oh, the first day of school.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: All the players are back.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: You see the players come in and get on the
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: field for the first time. And the real first day
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: of school for me is the first day we get
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: to go put pads on out there and go play. Actually, well,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: it's a it's been fun. It's been good. We're at
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: the very beginning of a long journey and we have
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: a long way to go and we have a lot
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: of work to do to go try to accomplish what
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: we want to do and that's win football game. So
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: but it's been It was a good offseason, good time
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: away with the family and back at it and can't
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: wait can't wait to get back out there and watch
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: our guys, our players, our coaches. It's been a great
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: first two days, but just the first few steps of.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: The process, and I'm ready to see some pads. Yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: But but James, you guys have is it the scouting summit?
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: So tell everybody what this is about.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: We're only one more day left until our scouting staff,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: really college scouts hitting the road and beginning their school
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: visits for the upcoming draft cycles.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: And then so they're in for they're all in now.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got everybody under the same roof, which is
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: always you know, that's a blast because it's so few
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and far between that we actually get that touch point.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: And so just ballpark.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: How many to get people an idea, how many people
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: are under this umbrella that are in town that are
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: normally not in town, Like, give me a number of
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: like total people in the room, and how many that
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: are just like living in other parts of the country
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: scouting other parts of the country.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's just say you got roughly twenty scouts
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: on our staff. You're going to have closer to let's say,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I guess that muld be twelve that are going to
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: be operating outside the building. Oddly enough, a lot of
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: them are actually based in Jacksonville still but not necessarily
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: operating in the building every days. While you may actually
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: be a college scout whose area is the northeast, where
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you're actually based in Jacksonville as your hometown, you just
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: commute to the area right to and from now a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: lot of times right that can be somebody who recently
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: was working in the building the last cycle, and so
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: rather than move just like that, you're just easier commute
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to adjust in that way, but nonetheless right to have
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: everybody in the same room when usually we're doing that
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: stuff virtually throughout the year itself, knowing that so many
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: moving parts are going on at the same time, so
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: really taking advantage of that in the best ways that
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we can and get in some micro moments that aren't
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: inclusive of just the Scouting summit and those agendas together
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: where you know, you're able to just have some pretty
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: organic dialogue that surfaces to the forefront and learn from
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: each other, get better with each other.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: What's the main goal of the Scouting summit for you
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: and the scouting staff getting together?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think big part of it. It's rooted in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: professional development, and you talk about really the idea that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: we're going through big picture philosophy, we're going through process
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and then we're getting some practice reps, and so I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: think through that you're getting a range of different sessions.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: We're bringing in guest speakers, We're diving into some self scout,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: We're walking through some lessons learned, We're bringing in new
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: tricks of the trade, things to be focused on, things
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to lean into any scheme adjustments that we're installing, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: how that influences how we should scout. All those different
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: types of things we're just trying to bring to the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: table and make sure that from both the pro and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: college level of evaluation, our scouts walk into this cycle
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: with a very clear and vivid visual for a the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: type of player that we're looking for and b what's
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: being asked of them and how they're going to go
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: about their business so that they can do that with
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: not all that different than our players on the field,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a clear mind. They're operating at a high level and
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: they're not thinking too much.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: They're just doing what they do.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Let's come back in a moment, we'll get on the
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: field and some highlights of the first couple.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Of days, including number twelve. He's back. We'll dig into that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: If you're cool with that, let's do it. James is in.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: We're back. In a moment is JAG's HQ on the
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Jaguars Radio Network.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Welcome Back.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: It is JAG's HQ presented by Fresh from Florida for
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: the first time in the twenty twenty six season. JP Shaddick,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Jeff Logaban, and Tony Busselly James Gladstone with us the Jaguars.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Two days in on the field on training camp so far,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: another one tomorrow. Pads go on on Monday for the
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: first time. One of the highlights so far the return
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: of Travis Hunter both sides of the football, off to
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: the side in the off season program and then the
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: video comes out of him sprinting twenty two point six
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: miles an hour during his recovery towards the end of it,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: and think.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: What do you think you run?
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: How many miles paror do you think you could spread
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: off speed? Like It's like if we said JP, just
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: go on the grass right now and runs JP.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: There's a bottle of bourbon over there, I'll probably go
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: pretty fast.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Like how fast you think top ends the best bottle
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: of bourbon you can get?
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Thirteen miles an hour?
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: I don't think, you know, come.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: On, That's what I was gonna say for myself.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Because well, I think if you ten, i'd be you
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: should be happy.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Should we have a friendly kind of I'll go by the.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Bottle a good time. It sounds like it sounds like.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: We're competing there. That's what we do.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: I don't think I can get over four.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: So to say, you guys got to do that contest
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: and like top speed for JP, then I'm gonna start
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: taking bets on how far that last.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but twelve is back and he's back on both sides.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: And you know, Liam Cone the other day was talking
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: about the strategy and the plan and the effort that's
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: gone into planning this out from everybody. Take us through
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: some of the detail of that and how many people
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: are involved, and you know, it's down to the play
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: on both sides of the football, right.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of intent, there's a lot of energy
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that goes into that, and it involves a lot of
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: different stakeholders. That starts with our coaching staff and walking
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: through the scripts for what practice actually has within it,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and then working with sports performance staff to say, hey,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: here's what actually makes a lot of sense from a
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: load management standpoint, and getting the right spot by the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: time you know the games start, and obviously a lot
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of coordination and communication that ties in there, and then
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the execution right. And obviously it's not just what happens
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: on the grass, but you know when he wakes up
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: in the morning, walks into the building and then walks
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: out and turns off the lights, there's a lot in
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: between there that is off the grass that requires coordination
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: as well. So nonetheless, it's just great to see him
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: back in the setting that you know he loves the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: most and seeing him do things that he showed us
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: prior to the injury.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Obviously, there was a play on Day one where he
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: had a deeper out route eventuroute where the ball was
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a little inside and high, but for him to not
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: flinch and spring up despite a really good PBu by
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Jalen Husky on that play, it was just a good
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: sign to knowing he trusts, you know, everything that's going on.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And then flip sides of the ball and get PBu
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: on a vertical out Versusjosh Cameron, who's been doing a
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: really great job on those routes through not only the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: spring but also the early portion of camp through two days.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: You know, those are just really good progressive steps and
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: happy to see it, you know, be able to come
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: to life here. And obviously once we get the pads on,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: that'll tell us even more. But you know, right now
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it kind of looks like he's got shoulder pads on much.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Bigger and that I was gonna go to. That's the point.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, everything James is one hundred percent true, but
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: none of it's possible if he doesn't do what he
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: did over the last seven months. And so like our
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: coaches put a lot of time. I mean, there's a detail.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Chris Bock, the head of sports science, ferg Over, the
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: training room, Eric Ciano, those guys dominated and did a
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: great job of mindy with the nutrition, putting the plan together.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, it only works
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: if Travis puts the work in and I think, you
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: know you draft, we made the trade. Everyone knows about
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: the trade we made, the plans we had and the
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: injury he had a significant injury, which you never know
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: because it's the first like major injury guy like Travis
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: has ever had. You don't know how what the response.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Is going to be.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: You're betting on the makeup of the individual. That is
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: one of the reasons we took him. Was just a talent,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: but who he was as a person, and man, was
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: that fun to watch for me of how he responded
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: and the work he put in and he comes back.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: You know, everyone talks about the twenty two point six
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: mile Priori ran, but go look at him and look
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: at his body. You know, this is a guy that
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: not only got his knee back so he could go
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: move and watching him mirror receivers out there today the
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: last two days, my goodness, but to look at his
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: upper body and the muscle mass that he's put on.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: All these things we measure so we know the exact
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: increase of what he's done that doesn't happen by just
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: doing the bare minimum. And then it couples that for
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: him to understand to play both sides of the ball, yes,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: it takes a lot from our coaches, but he can't
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: be a normal player. You can't just do what everyone
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: else does. And that's this not just not right now,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: but during the five weeks off you got to be
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: purposeful yourself to go prepare. And so I think a
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: lot of credit to the whole building, a lot of
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: credit to our coaching staff. But I also think none
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: of this comes to life without the bet we made
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: of who Travis Hunter is. He fulfilled at a high
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: level and attacked it and competed this whole time. And
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be pretty fun. It'll be interesting.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: I'm excited for it to see what this comes to be.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Who knows, but I'll still bet on Travis Hunter because
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: that's one competitive dude.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: And at the end of the end of the day,
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: it's about making your team better. And all those resources,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: James that you brought up that were available to Travis
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: and all the coordination, I just want to make sure
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: that people understand that's available for all the players, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: all the players have plans in place and everything else.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: But this is I think a little bit of a
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: unique situation where it requires it a little bit more
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: from a management standpoint.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: And typically you don't have to find that, you know,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: an offensive coach is having to work through whether or
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: not a player is available because he might also be
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: scared uled to be on the defensive side of the ball, right,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: That's a challenging.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Is also kind of one of those things where you
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: have to manage.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Some of that. That's true.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: But I also I think when you're talking about tracking
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: the reps and planning the reps and everything else, one
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: of the things that I think is been utilized before
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: by other teams around the National Football League is GPS
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: trackers to track the actual you know, mileage so to speak,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: that's getting put onto the car. Do you guys utilize
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: that with Travis and other players on the roster?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: It's universal.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: That's a constantly monitored and and then assessed at the
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: end of each day and actually in real time adjustments
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: you guys have, well.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Each player has right now.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: So it's it used to be like for people that
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: don't know, it was like about the size of a
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: iPad case jerseys.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Okay, it's like almost a stitch on like a little hocket.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Right, and then there's somebody monitoring the actual results in
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: real time and they can alert the coach come back.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: They take those things and what I'm just trying to
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: describe what I've seen before they put them in a
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: rack and then it downloads all the data and then bam,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: it's on the computer.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: That's that's pretty cool. Technology.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: A lot of technology, a lot of tech, a lot
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: of data, a lot of information.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: So have you guys warned the GPS or you guys
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: tracked yourself?
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: I just told you I'm not getting over before four
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: miles an hour. I don't think so we.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Should put one on JP for real? No, I don't
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: think No, I think we should.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I think we'd a great bit. We can film it
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: and put it on, we can analyze it.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: We did a bit one time where we went and
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: covered the race, the five k race on Jaguars dot com.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: It used to be in the stadium and the ramps
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: and stuff. And I challenged Tony to a race. Race
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: is back when he was running before his second hip surgery.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: And then we got about a half mile in and.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: He just took off. I'm like, oh, was it that
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: he took off for you? I just he just has
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: a different year, you know, or did back then. DNA.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: That's exactly.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I was just hanging on JP the first half moment.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how are you doing?
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I'm see you.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: That's like me thinking I could keep up with him
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: on the assault nights.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Oh there are levels.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: That's hey, let's come back in a moment. Some more
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: thoughts about the first couple of days.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Final moments with Tony Sell and James Gladstone, our first
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Jaggs h Q of the season on Jaguars Radio.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Welcome Back it is jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: JP Shadick, Jeff Logman, Tony James Gladstone. Final moments with
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: these two. Unless you guys want to go the whole hour,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: then Okay.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I figured good. I knew that was coming. James, My,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: You're always welcome both of you.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I'm curious with the result of last season, the success
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: of last season, thirteen wins in the regular year, playoff
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: run Division title, the whole thing. Now going into year
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: two of this the expectations are high. Is it felt
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: here in the building, Like, what's the approach that Liam
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Cohen and you guys have towards the team when it
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: comes to the expectations here in twenty twenty.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Six, Yeah, sure, there were some positive results along the way.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: A year ago, but it's important to turn the page
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: try to leverage as much of the momentum off the heels.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Of a year where we felt like we were able to.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Establish a culture and Liam so very well done, was
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: able to put forth a style of play that we
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: were going to commit ourselves to and level that up
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: with a more clear path for a mindset that we'll
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: boy here over the course of the twenty twenty six
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: season and beyond. And I know that Liam has done
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: his part to share that with our players and making
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: it so that, look, it's got to be about anybody, anytime, anywhere.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Just drop us in, put the ball down, and we're
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: ready to rock. Obviously, there's a lot of moving pieces.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: You got a stadium that's that reduced capacity, it's going
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: to ultimately be a really cool thing. And we could
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: use that as an excuse that the home field advantage
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: element isn't the same that it may have once been,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: but that's not going to stand in the way. You
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: could say, coming off the heels of a successful regular
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: season in terms of account of wins that leads to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: a division championship, and now you're playing a first place
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: division schedule in the upcoming years, that can't be something
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: that we look at without anything other than any time, anybody, anywhere.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: And so that focus on the mindset has been a
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: very clear point of emphasis, and I think is really
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: where we root ourselves, and that's in the moment and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: trying to do our best to keep ourselves there.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: I think everybody always anticipates the first day of PADS
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: just because you know there are guys that separate, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: there are also guys that separate when the lights get
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: right on game day? What position group do you want?
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: You guys always look forward to.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: The positions you and I play, Okay, I just want.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: To make sure better than to like pour into the
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: O L d L play without like PADS on. You
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: can't help himself.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Guess what we're watching.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: First every afternoon when we're revisiting the film, we're starting
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: with the O L d L despite it only being
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: in helmet.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Well, and look, uh, I look at I look at
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: your roster of the O line and defensive line, and
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: I see a lot of spots up for grabs. And
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: I'm not talking just roster spots. I'm talking starting jobs
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: that are gonna be available.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I would just say this, and it kind of goes
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: back to the expectation question uske JP. We will operate
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: no different than the way that Liam, who speaks a
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: lot to the media and our fans and to our players,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: and what James has said. You know what I've said,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: we will. We're like whether we won, like everyone says,
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: you went thirteen games, all we can think about and
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: talk about the whole off seasons. Yeah, we lost in
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: the playoff game, Like there's a dissatisfaction, And so I
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: bring that up to answer the question about the different
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: position battles or making the roster whatever. Last year we
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: operated in a way that the culture of this building
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: is we are going to be competitive. Liam talked about
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: it all the time. And one of the things James
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: has said multiple times in different scenarios, mostly internally, is
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: having a culture that is built on what's on a
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: board or a PowerPoint that is not the culture. Culture
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: is what you live every single day. How does the
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: building operate, how do people move?
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: And if we.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Say we are going to be a competitive outfit, the
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: only way you can actually live that out that what
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: happens on the grass will determine who plays. Liam said
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: it today, like we are going to play the best
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: eleven players on offense and the best eleven players on defense,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: and whatever those situations are. Whoever our best special teams players,
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: those are the guys who are going to play. We
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: actually do not care because now we've gotten through free agency,
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: we went through the draft, we do all the different things.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: We are sitting here right before what's tomorrow, August first,
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: I believe tomorrow.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Thirty first, thirty first, whoever day it is, twenty twenty six, whatever.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: The calendar said it is.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: We sit here at this moment on this show is
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: we don't care where they are drafted. We don't care
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: how much they make. We don't care if they just
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: got here, if they've been here for ten years, whatever
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: the scenario is. Because you get to live out the
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: culture of what we say and what our head coach
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Liam preaches to the entire building. Well, we got to
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: live that. Well that means over the next six weeks,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: as we get ready for the regular season and we
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: determine who is that fifty three man roster in the
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: forty eight act up on game day and who's gonna
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: be called out in the starting lineup opening day, that
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: will be determined on that football field over that next
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: six weeks, and so I think it's fans and is
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: what I used to do, and you guys do now
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: you look through the roster and say, oh, there's a
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: competition at right guard, or there's a competition for the
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: who's going to be the bell cow running back or
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: the whatever fifth receiver. I would tell you there's a
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: competition at twenty two spots on offensive defense of who's
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: gonna go play for us? And I think if you
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: look back at how this team operated last year, we
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: had a bunch of guys are starting three technique on
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: first and second down. Was not on the team this
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: time last year.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: He wasn't Miami.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: We were a joint practice and I'll never forget it.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: We're sitting on the field watching our offense work against
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: their defense, and James says, hey, look at that. I
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: don't know what number he was at Miami. Whatever number
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: he was three, Matt Dickerson, and we started watching him,
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: start watching tape on him. He gets cut. Our pro
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: staff does a great job of convincing him coming our
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: practic squad. Through the first seven eight weeks of the season,
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: he earns a spot on the active roster as a
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: backup by the end, took advantage of his opportunity. And
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: he's a part of the number one rush defense in
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: the NFL. And so you can just go through those
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: scenarios across the entire roster. I mean Antonio Johnson, who
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: was probably one of our best defensive players by the
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: end of the year. He was most people all. He's
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: probably a special teams guy whatever he is. And so
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: coming off a tough year, tough year, those are two
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: and I can go through the list of guys, but
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: we don't have time. Those are two just examples of
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: guys who went and earned it on the grass, earned
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: it by the way they played. And so when it
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: comes to competition, we look at the rash. We have
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: ninety one guys right now, we're gonna go out there
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: and play football. We're competing right now. We've had great
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: two days and with James likes that the term is
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: non football activities and which I just agree one thousand percent.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: But it's part of the process. It's an important part
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: of the processcause you see the mental the speed, the precision.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Can they operate. We'll put the pads on well preseason games.
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: We have a joint we have three teams that we're
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: going to joint practice with. This club will be determined.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna joint practices.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: We're gonna every preseason game we have a joint practice before.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: That's awesome and so we're gonnays love them. It's right
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: because it gets the intensity and it's it's another measuring
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: tool university where your guys are at when you go
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: against it, because it's you can't have the same intensity
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: day in and day out against the same guys when
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: you go against somebody else. It reaches another way.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: It's just it's another opportunity to do evaluation and those
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: guys will compete, and that's what makes us who we are.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: It's one of the you know, call it core principles
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: or whatever you want to say. There's a you know,
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: what we think we want to be as a Jacksville
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: what it means to be a Jacksonville Jaguar, and that
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: has to be lived out every day by all of
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: us in the building, every single person, whether your support staff,
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: whether you're a coach, the front office, or whether you're
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: a player. Like that's what it means. So it's gonna
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: be competitive, and we got a competitive group of guys.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: I mean you can just watch out there, which is
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: in helmets. Those guys are going at it and it's
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: fun to watch and I can't wait.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: To controlled acceptable way.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Oh but you got to remind him every day and
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: every day. Every day it's like, okay, we don't have
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: the pads on, guys, because we have some dudes out
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: there like we don't need pads. They take the anytime
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: any plays anyone seriously, like yes, we will go to
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: war right now. We don't need pads.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: There's always some of those guys that just you know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: they have that one speed pads are no pads, it
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: just doesn't matter.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: It feels like we have ninety one of those right now.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Jeff, gentlemen, looking forward to it again.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you guys. We can kick this thing off and
• 29:34

  Speaker 4: like they I mean, yeah, that's right. Let's keep it
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: that way, guys. Yeah, I mean are they are.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: They getting trained or are they acclimated? I mean it's
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: like they didn't have to get acclimated. They just then
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: season four.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no ramp up period for those football team
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: to do the same thing.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, absolutely.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I have some interesting stuff there from from both of
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: those guys that the expectations question and answer that was
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: pretty interesting.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: The mindset around here going into works.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: And I think they both were were very accurate and
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: that it's not about thirteen wins. It's about you fell short,
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: you know. I Mean, the goal is always the Lombardi Trophy,
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: and so thirteen wins are great, and it obviously helps
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: the fans to continue to come out and support this
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: team and get excited about this team, which is awesome,
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, as an ultimate competitor,
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: you want to win a championship, and I know that
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: there's a you can tell from their reaction and also
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: from talking to some of the players that look that
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: they got a bad taste in their mouth from losing
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: that game to the Buffalo Bills. I mean, they felt
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: like that they'd love to have a do over because
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: they think they could have won that game or should
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: have won it, and they did.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: They did not play their best that day.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: And so you know, look, if you're looking for a
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: motivating a motivating factor for twenty twenty six, look back
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: at that Buffalo game and see the level of disappointment
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: that they had in their eyes and in their hearts,
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: and that'll give them plenty to.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Be motivated about this year.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: A lot of great news on number twelve. Travis Hunter
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: wide receiver corner back out there on both sides of
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: the strategy and the planning that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Was behind that.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: And by the way, the I don't see any restrictions
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: at all.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: No, he's running like here like you know, so he's
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: full speed.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: I don't see any kind of you know, hey, look
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: we're just you know, we're holding him back. He's full
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: go as far as I can tell. And I'm watching
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: him in practice and he's moving incredibly well. It was
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: good to see him out there as well as other guys. Look,
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: I can't wait to see this evolution of his role.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: And it's not the primary thing because I think that
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: you know, look, you've got to have a plan, and
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: I'm willing to trust whatever plan that they have, but
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be exciting to see the
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: execution of whatever that plan may be. Let's come back
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: in a moment.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Plenty more ahead after two days of practice, a third
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: coming up tomorrow. It is JAG's HQ on Jaguars Radio.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Welcome back Jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Yes we are It is jag Za's huge ap Shadwick,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Jeff Logman Our thanks again to Tony Biselli and James Gladstone,
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: the EVP and the GM respectively, joining us for the
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: first show the season on the Jaguars Radio Network. They'll
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: be with you each and every Thursday. Well, we talked
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: about Travis Hunter. He's a cornerback and a receiver, but
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: this group of receivers did a lot of damage last
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: year without Travis Hunter out there, and a lot of
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: the big names are right back in the mix again
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: to Kobe Myers, who came in right after the injury,
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: of course, and had a great stretch run here. Brian
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Thomas Junior had some struggles early last season, but you
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: saw the effort towards the end of the year and
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: finished I think with over seven hundred yards.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: He kind of grinded through. Yeah, it was tough.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Parker Washington had a breakout and now he's going into
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: a contract year in year four. Those are the really
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: the big Three's a bunch of other guys that are
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: fighting for spots to contribute. But let's touch on those
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: big three and so far through two days, what have
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: you seen.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll start with Brian Thomas Junior, and that's Brian
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: with an eye because there's actually another Brian Thomas Junior
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: on the roster, which he's a walk on or not
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: walk on, but an undrafted rookie defensive end. I thought,
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: I think his body language has been really good and
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: last year in training camp practice, you didn't see that.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: You didn't see that ultimate competitor come out, and so
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: so far and it's limited reps. Obviously liking what I'm
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: seeing with him, which if you can get him going
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: and doing what he does best, which is the vertical
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: stretch the field. And Parker can do some of that too, now,
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: which a lot of people don't look a you Parker
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: as that type of player, but he can, but not
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: like Brian. Brian can go and so that would be
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: a tremendous boost for this offense. And Trevor throws an
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: excellent deep ball, and I think that chemistry is working
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: towards that. Jacoby Myers has had a couple drops in
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: a couple of days, but I mean.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Am I worried about it?
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: Uh No, No, mean either he'll be fine because he's
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: been so sure handed in his entire career. Parker looks
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: great and ready to go, and uh, I think he's
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: going to be fantastic. I think, you know, once you
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: get past those guys and then Travis Hunter. Now the
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: question is where's the competition that wears their room for
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: somebody to slip in there? And I think the two
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: rookies are going to be very interesting to watch, the
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: two drafted rookies.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I mean he mentioned James Gladson mentioned Josh Cameron by
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: name in this show earlier tonight.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Josh and c. J.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: Williams Okay, Stanford and Baylor, I mean two receivers that
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: are very different body types. Because Josh Cameron has the
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: size and Josh Cameron, I think when you if you're
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: looking for somebody kuld last year you had Tim Jones,
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: Tim Jones special teamer, Okay break glass in case of
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: emergency wide receiver. Can Josh Cameron, the drafted rookie with
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: the size that he has, can he be because look,
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: he can't get on the field to catch balls. He's
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: gonna get active on game day and play special teams.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: He's six one, two twenty four and he's all of
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: two twenty four. Yeah, all of two twenty four. So
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: can he fight or vie for that role that has
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: been held elsewhere in years past? I think that's that's
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: gonna be an interesting watch. But as far as competition
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: for the guys that are gonna catch balls, I think
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: that's already been determined. But you know again, and I'm
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: gonna be repeating what they said, everything is going to
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: be determined on the grass.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: It's not like.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: Nobody can can earn a role on the field catch
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: the mall. Sure, there's still an opportunity to do that,
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: but is it likely and not in my mind.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: He's got a guy like Austin Trammell who has contributed
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: off and on over the eight.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: Years, been solid, you know, return guy every now and again.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: You know, an okay wide receiver.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Like Bray boy a lot, it seems like, and he was.
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: Like he was like along the lines of camera brought
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: him in last year, undrafted rookie. Can he vie for
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: that special teams player out of that wide receiver group
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: and wasn't able to get there. But this year, you know, look,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: year two, you expect a big jump out of him
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: as well. So expect him to have his hat in
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: that competition for that special team's roster spot at the
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: wide receiver position.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Remember all that off season talk about trading Brian Thomas
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Junior and all that stuff.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, I don't know if that was
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: real or not, but you know, the reality is is
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: that the talk was started because he was not the
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: same guy that we saw the rookie year.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: So I've always been a believer that where there's smoke,
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: there's fire, And I don't know if there was actually
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: trade talk about it, but I mean, I think when
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: you have the performance, the Rooki year, and then it
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: goes down the second year. And then also the body
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: language was vastly different.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: Sure, I mean earlier the season.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: Is conversation, whether it's real or not, is going to
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: happen when that happens.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: But now body language is good with number seven. It's
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: not like it was last year.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: And he's had success in the first couple of days,
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: which is yes, it's been a couple of days. We
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: got a long way to go. Yeah, that's all right,
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: and that's what campus for. We're back in a moment
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: uh plenty ahead as the Jaguars continued training camp, it's
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: our first edition of jags HQ on the Jaguars Radio Network.

  Speaker 4: Jaguars are playing in Jacksonville this season. There is that
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: has I've heard that a lot of people they think
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: they're playing out of town this year. Really Yeah, no, No.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: That's next year. That's twenty twenty seven in Orlando.
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah. In fact, by the way, I was told that
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: they were doing the lighting test. Oh tonight, Oh cool.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: They also did it this morning, I think at five am,
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: approximately five am, James Gladstone, Tony Boselli went into the
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: stadium because they put new lights in there because the
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: old light towers are gone, and they put lights in
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: the upper decks essentially to light the field. And it
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: got Tony and James's approval. And now I think they're
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: gonna do another step tonight so that the lights work
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: and the stadium is going to.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Be ready to go. Lights are important, well, have to
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: have Like preseason game here is at night, so it
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: gotta have lights.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: The Monday night football game is going to be at night,
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: that's right, you know against the Steelers. Yeah, so you
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: need lights. You gotta have lights. But hey, but I
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: think the concern.
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: Was originally because you know, the light towers had the
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: lights at a high position the angle right, So there
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: was concern initially that, Okay, now we put in lights,
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: and now we're putting them in the upper deck because
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: the light towers are gone, is it going to be
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: in the in the player's eyes to where they can't
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: function like normal.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Like you're looking back for a ball as a receiver
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: into lights or something, you not having to.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Look very high to get lights in your eyes.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: And I guess they were very they thought it was great,
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: and so no concern obviously.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Apparently, did Tony run the routes and like look back
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: in the lights, no checking?
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Probably not. I was love kuinnt chuckling.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: I was like an offensive lineman's checking the lights. Maybe
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: wide receiver out there right exactly, Tony's doing sets looking
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: at eye level right exactly.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: Oh I can see five. Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, it's great,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: No problem, boy. All right, let's come back in the moment.
