0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It was getting pretty bad.
0:32
[SPEAKER_00]: You know how fast the grass grows at this time of year in Florida had to get it done this morning.
0:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And as I'm cutting the grass, listening to the athletic football show.
0:44
[SPEAKER_00]: David Halman talking about how he wishes he could be in Jacksonville, watching Travis Hunter this week.
0:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Despite how hot it is, as I'm cutting my grass, absolutely drenched and sweat, shirt is completely soaked.
0:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, yeah, we are so back.
0:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm thinking we're back.
1:00
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back like we never left.
1:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back better than we ever have been.

1:32

1:34

1:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Did want to let y'all know?
1:52
[SPEAKER_00]: y'all might not know this.
1:53
[SPEAKER_00]: If you've ordered from us a lot at jingjag.com slash shop, you probably know.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: But every order does come with, as I'm trying to get this in focus, there we go.
2:01
[SPEAKER_00]: A old school leaping jack.
2:04
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, sticker, holographic sticker.
2:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So go check out jingyag.com slash shop.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe there's something there you'd like to pick up for yourself or give for someone else comes with a free holographic leaping Jaguar sticker.
2:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Love that sticker.
2:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So getting into this training camp primer.
2:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the first training camp for Liam Cohen as a head coach.
2:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Not just in Jacksonville, but anywhere.
2:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Great, Edinsky as an offensive coordinator.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Anthony Campanile as a defensive coordinator.
2:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I do have to say he was a co-defence of coordinator in Boston College at Boston College.
2:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was a two thousand, eighteen, maybe two thousand, eighteen.
2:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the NFL level, Anthony Campanile has not done this.
2:45
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of the guys on the coaching staff has not done this.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Have not done this.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: James Ladsdon, it's his first training camp as well.
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: As a general manager, he hasn't done it at this level.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Bicelli, first year as the leader of the team, right?
3:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Those three guys at the top, head coach, EVP, general manager,
3:15
[SPEAKER_00]: It's exciting stuff.
3:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It is very exciting stuff.
3:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's going to look and feel different than it has before.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you've been at many camper OTAs or whatever, you've seen there's a different energy, a different vibe out there.
3:30
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no question about it from the top down.
3:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be different.
3:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be new.
3:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And it is, again, first time for these guys, but I will say, based on what we saw at many camp, OTA's organizationally during practice, you're not seeing a group that looks like they don't know what they're doing, that looks like they don't understand the rhythm and the cadence of how practice should run.
3:57
[SPEAKER_00]: They get certainly in terms of the just time
4:04
[SPEAKER_00]: the organization of practice.
4:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited to see them do it.
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Anthony Camponella, very excitable.
4:10
[SPEAKER_00]: He's far well, very excitable, who's back in Jacksonville, obviously.
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Excited to see more of Grant Yudinsky and Liam Cohen and the rest of the coaching staff as well.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: But those are the big guys to think about.
4:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember, it is still just practice, right?
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: This isn't the time for sweeping proclamations.
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Good or bad?
4:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not.
4:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to see some amazing plays and all likelihood from Brian Thomas Jr.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Travis Hunter?
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
4:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But we've seen really bad Jaguar's teams look good throughout training camp and the preseason.
4:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen really good Jaguar's teams not look so hot.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's really just not the time.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: to try to formulate strong opinions based on what you're seeing on the practice field really.
5:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously there are different circumstances that can lead you to having strong feelings one way or the other.
5:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Most of those really have less to do with practice and more to do with like, if you're seeing a big picture situation happening, if there's an eye word that pops up, different things.
5:19
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is still going to be really fun to see a lot of these guys out there in this new Liam Cohen offense, this new Anthony Campanela defense.
5:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, all eyes are going to be on Travis Hunter in a big, big way.
5:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And the passing game in general, right?
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Travis Hunter's first training camp in the NFL as a Jacksonville Jaguar.
5:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Most of y'all, I'm assuming no, but like Travis Hunter is one of the biggest internet stars around.
5:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously he was unbelievable in college and played corner back in wide receiver, went to Jackson State as a massive recruit
5:57
[SPEAKER_00]: for Deon Sanders to be with Deon Sanders, follow him to Colorado, plays unbelievably there.
6:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has his own YouTube channel, he streams on Twitch.
6:07
[SPEAKER_00]: He wins the Heisman at Colorado.
6:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the only player to have that quarterback slash defensive back designation drafted.
6:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And the last twenty five, you know, since Deon really, I mean, I know you had some champ Bailey
6:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Charles Woodson, these guys, plans, both sides of the ball a little bit in college, but there's nothing like this.
6:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, back then, they weren't even as big of stars as Travis Hunter is because Travis Hunter has that following from YouTube, from Twitch, from being the Heisman, from being around Deon, from being a five star, all that stuff, right, being the number one recruit
6:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But how does the time share work on both sides of the ball?
7:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Will there be clarity as to how much hope lay on both sides?
7:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Will it work?
7:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So far I think I would say it has certainly.
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But we don't know.
7:14
[SPEAKER_00]: We just don't know.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So far it's looked good, but we don't know.
7:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And then
7:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like the idea of Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas, Jr., Deami Brown, catch and pass from Trevor Lawrence.
7:29
[SPEAKER_00]: How good does that look?
7:31
[SPEAKER_00]: How good does that look?
7:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it should look really good early.
7:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know, like last year, the defense was just way ahead of the offense to start training camp.
7:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously both units ended up being really bad last year.
7:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think that Liam Cohen,
7:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that Trevor Lawrence, Brian Thomas Jr., Travis Hunter, you know, when he's on offense, not defense.
7:56
[SPEAKER_00]: These guys are going to want to pedal to the metal and not have these days where the defense dominates.
8:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But the defense filled with prideful guys talent to guys do.
8:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's going to be really fun to see.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: From a competitive perspective, all that stuff, but all eyes will be on Travis Hunter.
8:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's already, you've been able to see it, like, usually many camp from my recollection is not open to fans, open to the public to come watch, but it was
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: unbelievable turnout saw more people there at many camp than I usually do at an average training camp practice OTAs was open right people were able to come see that again unbelievable turnout and starting on Wednesday when the Jaguar's take the practice field at eight fifteen a.m.
8:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I expect it to be a madhouse.
8:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I expect it to be unbelievable excitement and energy surrounding Travis Hunter.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's really exciting.
9:01
[SPEAKER_00]: It absolutely is.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just a different situation.
9:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's bigger than when Trevor Lawrence came in as the number one pick.
9:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously bigger than Trevor and Walker coming in.
9:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's just unprecedented here in Jacksonville and really across the league.
9:19
[SPEAKER_00]: There are some position battles, and we've talked about those a bit, running back.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think Travis CTN has the pole position, so to speak, for the starting gig there, but definitely a lot of names to watch.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars have invested in at the running back position.
9:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Tank bigs me ran well last year, but has the fumbling issues, can't pass protect very well, can't catch the ball to the backfield very well.
9:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's some limitations there, but maybe the most
9:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the most talented just pure running back in terms of just carrying the football on the team.
9:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Safety, gonna be fascinating to watch that there.
9:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Eric Murray, I think he's gonna start, but Caleb Ransal, Andrew Wingard, Darnell Savage, who is the other starter there.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Left guard can wipe my limb push as we're Cleveland.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Cornerback, how much is Travis Hunter out there at corner?
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Buster Brown vs. Jari in Jones.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be, that's going to be big.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Right tackle.
10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I might be the biggest one right there.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I can Anton Harrison kind of stake his claim to that spot.
10:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to be able to.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you that.
10:34
[SPEAKER_00]: My T-Absolutely needs to be able to.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to see the rest of the rookie class, too.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe some guys that aren't even starting.
10:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Excited to see the defensive lined up when you talk about adding a manual, and to one smooth.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Dennis Gardeck is starting on the pub, so that is something to keep in mind.
10:49
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars announced that over the weekend, but the rookie class, like,
10:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Jack Kaiser, very impressive on tape.
10:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Basial Tutant, very impressive on tape.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Lee Quinn Allen, you know, all these guys, you go watch them and there's reason for excitement.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Jail him a cloud.
11:05
[SPEAKER_00]: How do they deploy him?
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you see him off the ball more?
11:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you see him on the ball?
11:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you see him dropping?
11:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you see him rushing?
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're going to see all those things.
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Ray on lane on special teams is going to be somebody to keep an eye on and out safety.
11:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Jonah Monheim, like does he feel like he has the strength once the pads come on to really compete?
11:26
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a smaller center prospect.
11:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got short short arms, you know.
11:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I know Tramp Balky would never have been in his training camp, but we no longer have Tramp Balky here in Jacksonville, right?
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of things to look at here from the rookie class.
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, Travis Hunter is gonna be the star of the show and rightfully so.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: but most excited really for why I'm Island and Caleb Ransaud to see them because the average intimate chances to try to find a way into starting line up at some point in year one.
11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Offensive line versus defensive line once you get those pads on.
12:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely interior will be fun.
12:03
[SPEAKER_00]: How's Eric Armstead doing?
12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: How's Mason Smith doing?
12:06
[SPEAKER_00]: But I really want to see good on good on the edge.
12:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Hines Allen, Tray Mom Walker, Anton Harrison, Walker Little,
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait to see those matchups.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I really can't.
12:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of the primer that's getting you ready.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be all eyes on Travis Hunter.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously how Trevor Lawrence performs in this new offense is going to be really interesting to follow.
12:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I might for the first time since Trevor Lawrence is rookie year.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think actually keep a little bit of track of his performance statistically
12:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Which sounds insane, I don't know if I'm gonna do it.
12:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I might do it.
12:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
12:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Haven't decided yet.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It takes a lot of energy and effort to make sure you're getting everything down correctly accurately.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's a big year for him.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no question.
12:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe strongly in Trevor Lawrence.
13:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that his play has shown a good quarterback.
13:05
[SPEAKER_00]: A really good quarterback.
13:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But a lot of folks nationally,
13:10
[SPEAKER_00]: locally, not so confident in their quarterback.
13:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe I will keep track we'll see.
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
13:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's all new, a lot of newness.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you have your stars here that are sticking around, travel Lawrence, Josh and that one, drive on Walker.
13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Your tackles are still here.
13:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Although, you know, Walker little's first real opportunity to be the starting tackle.
13:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is a lot of newness mixed with a little bit of the previous regime still there.
13:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So gonna be really fun to get out there.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Gonna be really hot.
13:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Fortunately for y'all fans, you get to sit in those bleachers with the nice shade with the big ass fans.
13:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Gonna be awesome.
13:53
[SPEAKER_00]: But I wouldn't rather be anywhere else and I'm really excited for it.
