  Speaker 2: Well one of two. Well every days with pads, it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: full contact. I just I just I just tackle, you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I just feel like you get in those tight type
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: spaces short yards goal line. You know the best way
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to do it is just you come off the ball
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and you play it live. You tackle. Now, we don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you know, there's there's rules of engagement too. You know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we still protect each other and all that, but it
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: really all that means is, you know, defensive guys can
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: tackle ball carriers.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Other than that, we we still protect, stay up, play
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: fast all that.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: Just from your own observations and feedback you can getting
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: from staff, what are your impression to trade.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Skips Trevor skips in do some good things. You know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: obviously Bill is familiar with them, had them in Chicago
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and and the big part of you know why he's here,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: But he's doing some really good things, continuing to to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: learn the defense. You know, you're seeing him, you're seeing
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: him effect you know some pass rush you know with
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: our tackles and and has has really been probably you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: one of the brighter spots you know, uh with those
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: with those backup type guys, you know on the defensive line.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: How important for you for you in terms of the
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: kind of relief provide leader Josh or or or Trayveon,
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: you know, in terms of play, in terms of plays
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: and then THEO you look at the you look at
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: the sheets after every week as far as plays and
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: the backup cash orders you get that you know, some
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: leaks it's it's yeah, like twelve or thirteen.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Other weeks it's twenty five.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Just you know, what what do you and what's the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: ideal for you on that?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: As far as far as like you're talking about the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the play like the play count sheets coming out of practice,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: how much how much.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Time he can actually get real games to to provide relief.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: In games in preseason games, regular season, well, I mean, listen,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: one of the things you're gonna see that's gonna be
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: different and and this is what what we did in
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: in Philly when I was there with Jim Schwartz, is
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you're gonna see You're gonna see eight guys in that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: defensive line, you're gonna see more rotational. You're gonna see guys,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you know, uh, in and out of that la different
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: combination of guys, you know, moving guys around, so will
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: they get opportunities to to rush the past or of
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: course we're gonna put our best pass rushers on the field,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you know, when the time comes. But when you're talking
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: normal down and distance, you're gonna you're gonna see a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: different combination of guys. You know. Uh, I think the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: year we won the Super Bowl, Fletcher Cox was only
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: about sixty five percent playtime that season, you know, because
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we had we had eight guys that we were we
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: were rolling through. And that's what it's gonna take. It
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: is gonna take that. That's why you're seeing some of
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: these younger guys get more reps, you know, with the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: with the so called starters, just so we can we
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: can have answers on everybody and and the development of
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: your younger, younger guys. But when it comes time, you'll
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: see Tray Vaughn and Josh and Eric and whether it's
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Roy Devon, you're gonna see those guys, Jordan Mason, whoever
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it is. You know, you're gonna see those guys you
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: know in past rush situations days like today, how the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: practices go on situations.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: What can you find out about the offensive line that
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Normally, Yeah, I mean, you know, just the ability to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: come off football, you know, and and and really you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: this is an area that we've we've talked about, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: short yardage and and first time we get to see it,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you know, in this situation with the pads on, so
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you know, the physicality, the play schame, play design, you
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: know what we're what we're doing again, we're not scheming
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: right where, we're just putting in you know, a short
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: artage goal line type menu you know that uh, that
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: we wanna use during pre season. So, but want definitely
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: wanna see the physicality coming off the ball and uh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you know, seeing if we can move the pile.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's Chrysial Braswell, somebody who's stood up all over
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: the first week.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Or so camp. Yes, he's done some nice things, uh,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: both defensively and special teams. You know. And and young
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: player that you know is in that developmental situation. We
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: wanna give him opportunity, you know, nickel defense, playing the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: nickel spot and then and then on special teams, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: he's been doing a he's been doing a good job.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: You know, his name may not come up a lot,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: but you know, you watch him and and you see
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: what he's doing and and he's he's a good athlete
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and uh, putting himself in a good position.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Make sure you mentioned is there any times frame now
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: on him return?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: No, not necessarily. He's getting close, you know, could be
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: any day. Okay, could be next week, it could be
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: three weeks from now, could be the end of camp.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But no, he's getting closer. He's getting closer.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You have any big takeaways from kickoffs last night?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Didn't see a lot, you know, I thought it was
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: interesting just you know, they worked the punter, the twelfth guy,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you know, a couple of times there. I think there
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: was a some movement early by the I think the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Bears have some movement, you know, early, and it's just
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be new, right, and and I think I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: think you look at it and and obviously a shortened game,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: but you look at it and and you just try
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to see if there's anything when you watch it, any
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: any takeaways that we could possibly get from it. You know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: team both teams didn't show a whole lot. I think
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: they were just trying to execute the drill, quite honestly.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I don't think the actual you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: yard line moved much. I don't think it got past
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the thirty much, you know, the the ones I saw.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So it's it's gonna be interesting. Everybody's in the same boat.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Can kind of figuring it out.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: He said, for sure.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: She was seating the room and go ahead, what.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: A your okay, I'm ready.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Finish my start on a Darby. Earlier in the week,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he said that you were a large reason why he
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: wanted to join the Jaguars this offseason. But you heard
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that from players before about usage here, that you have
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of respect to high regard from players in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the league.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: What I feel like, it feels great, you know. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I just think that you have to as head coaches,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you have to build those relationships, in those bonds with
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the players. And you know, we had we had Derby
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: there in Philly and and helped us win a championship.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And and you know he was one of the reasons
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: why obviously, and and you know too, to understand them
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: what they go through. You know, my experiences having played
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in this league for a while, and you know, just
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: knowing what they go through. Understanding and listening to players,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I think goes a long way, you know, giving them
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a voice of some of some extent, you know, so
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: they can they can they can voice things to me.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's important. I think all of that
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: plays a factor in why, you know, why why guys
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: want to be here, or the relationships that I have
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: with players.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, before Trevor the injuries last year and there was
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the second part of the season. Was his development on
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the era that you wanted? Was he doing the things
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you needed to see the improvement from twenty two in
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: terms of especially in terms of your ball security or now, yes, okay,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: where does.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: He pick off or where does he have to go?
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Like what do you do for him with the ball
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: security stuff?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Or maybe yeah, ball security obviously a big, a big topic,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: you know, surrounding him. I just think that you know, look,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I challenge him and all the quarterbacks because this is
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: how I was challenged in camp. See what you can
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: get away with? Now, see see what type of throws
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: you can make? Can I can I you know, make
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that tight window throw? If it gets knocked down, if
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it gets picked, okay, great, that's fine, good for the defense.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: But then it just it reinforces certain things, right from
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a quarterbacks perspective, but maintaining aggressiveness with the ball in
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: your hand again, trying to make those types of throws,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: not not careless, not not poor decisions, you know, throwing
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: late down the middle, none of that kind of stuff,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: but on time, rhythm throws and let's see, let's see
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: what he can what he can do, so we I
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: put him in those situations. But at the same time,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I also want him to understand that if there was
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: a throw to be made and you know he hit
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: you know, back in the flat, then we can go
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to the film and we can look at it and go, hey,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: you know, now we either have to speed up a drop.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: You know, your eyes got to be you let a
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: play develop. There's a lot of things that go into it,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and and and with camp right now, these are the time,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: this is the time really to kind of experiment a
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: little bit with that kind of stuff. But at the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: same time, you just don't want to be reckless or
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: careless with the ball, specifically with.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: The balls sky the pocket fumble, wise.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you know, uh or high school.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: You probably make them walk around all day Karence football.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just it's just it's just awareness,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: pocket awareness, knowing where guys are around you, and you know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: when you feel the pocket collapse, it's you know, it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: two hands on the ball or keep it, keep it
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: tight to your pack, whatever you can do. And you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: defensive guys are taught to swipe the football nowadays.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: We have to be more more conscious that around the pocket.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Look at tomorrow, how specialist the stadium practice haven't come?
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: I know last year you guys were the special jerseys
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: and stuff.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Just how special of the day is that. It's a
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: great day. You know, we do invite the military and
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: their families here and I think it's it's great to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: to honor them and and you know, get the fans
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: in the stadium. It's good for our new players who
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: haven't experienced that to get over there and practice over
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: there and and you know, experience that. So it's a
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a good day. It's a really good
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: day and and look forward to it every year. Special jerseys, uh,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I believe so, yes, yes, with the military Yes.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: In regards to ev An Ingrow, how would you describe
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: how he approaches this job.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: He approaches it like a professional, you know, practices at
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: nine am and he's out there at eight twenty, you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: going through a routine, you know, And that's what that's
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: what great players in this league do, you know, especially
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you know guys year in year out that have had
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: consistent years and good years. And he's one of those.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: And and he works on his craft and he and
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: he wants to improve and he wants to show his teammates,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: you know what it does, what it takes, you know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: to be that pro and and uh to to get himself,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you know, ready for just a training camp practice cutting.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Cutting Riley when you did before even seeing Cam and
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: live action, was that is that testental how good Cam's been?
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Or was it like they were going to do right
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: by Riley and let him go.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It was a little of both and Riley and we
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: know Riley and and he's made some big kicks here
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: for us obviously, and and it's an opportunity for him
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: to you know, catch on now with another team, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: it's an opportunity for Cam to okay, feel feel the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: pressure now of if you're the guy, you need to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: be the guy. And you know, Cam's done a nice job.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I think he was ten of eleven the other day,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and and put him in some long kick situations the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: other day. And we're gonna continue to kind of cultivate that,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: put him in those in those tough situations, you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and let him feel that type of pressure. But you know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: it's it's an opportunity now for Riley to to to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: get picked up and and continue his career.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: How was Anton Harrison doing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's been doing good up until last week. He's
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: actually gonna be in the protocol. Yeah, he was another one,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: so he'll he'll be out for these next couple of days.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: But he's been doing really good. He's been probably one
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: of the more consistent offensive linemen so far this year.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: You know, he he he missed a lot of the
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: off season with the you know, with the shoulder and
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the surgery and all that. But you know, he he
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: came back in the right frame of mind and he's
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: been doing some good stuff and and uh, going against
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Josh and Trayvon and and the guys, you know, only
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: gonna make him better. Yeah, it was just during one
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: of the one of the team periods to get hit. Yep,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: everybody good, fires,
