1:01
Speaker 1: It is a big night ahead for the new look
1:04
Speaker 1: Jaguars on Saturday against the Cleveland Browns. What are his
1:07
Speaker 1: expectations in preseason Week one? Don't want a clean game.
1:11
Speaker 1: You know, we spent an amount of in order amount
1:13
Speaker 1: of time on fundamentals of the game. UM, and I
1:16
Speaker 1: expect a winner mentality, winner mentality that every play. You know,
1:21
Speaker 1: the the reality is that there's people a cross from
1:24
Speaker 1: you're trying to take your job. You're trying to you know,
1:26
Speaker 1: you're in some of these guys are in survival boat.
1:29
Speaker 1: And I respect that. And so how do we you know,
1:31
Speaker 1: we're going to back off a lot of the twos
1:34
Speaker 1: and threes. They're gonna play a majority of the game
1:37
Speaker 1: forty plus plays to get their legs back because a
1:40
Speaker 1: lot of guys are blown out right now. So a
1:42
Speaker 1: clean game, taking care of the football, hustling on and
1:46
Speaker 1: off the field. UM. And then competitors every grade, every
1:50
Speaker 1: play is gonna be great at and you either win
1:52
Speaker 1: the rapp or you lose the rep. And that's I'm
1:55
Speaker 1: hoping you see a real competitive group. Also this week,
1:58
Speaker 1: Meyer invited newly enshrined Hall of Fame head coach Jimmy
2:02
Speaker 1: Johnson to speak with the team. Meyer shared some of
2:04
Speaker 1: his philosophy of having guests in to talk with the
2:07
Speaker 1: Jags team and recalled to visit to Foxborough when he
2:10
Speaker 1: was back at Florida. Something that I've done is my
2:13
Speaker 1: entire adult life. I've spent a human performance, human behavior
2:17
Speaker 1: as I just I can't get enough studying at and
2:20
Speaker 1: of winners. You know, great players, the great coaches, the
2:22
Speaker 1: great teams. And I kind of locked in on when
2:25
Speaker 1: when Bill Belichick invited me up to New England and
2:28
Speaker 1: oh six, They're coming off back to back Super Bowls,
2:31
Speaker 1: and I was mesmerized with the way that organization was ran,
2:35
Speaker 1: the leadership within the locker room. And then I also
2:38
Speaker 1: because of Jimmy's a friend. He became really good friend
2:40
Speaker 1: at Fox and I've known Michael Irvin, we became friends,
2:43
Speaker 1: and I just for the last six months dove into
2:46
Speaker 1: the the history of that turnaround and and it's it's
2:50
Speaker 1: just incredible opportunity to learn. And Michael Irvin came in
2:55
Speaker 1: and he gave an a plus talk about the locker room.
2:58
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson follows up with use of highlight video, etcetera.
3:02
Speaker 1: And our players couldn't get enough. I had to cut
3:04
Speaker 1: it off, but they were and I'm grateful those guys
3:06
Speaker 1: are busy guys to do that for us. To me,
3:08
Speaker 1: it's all about the locker room. Once you get culture
3:11
Speaker 1: inside that locker room, where you know Rabel Bruski, Tom Brady,
3:15
Speaker 1: I think it's Rodney Harrison. When I first went to
3:18
Speaker 1: visit the Patriots, I was just astonished at how the
3:23
Speaker 1: team was run from that locker room. And the same
3:25
Speaker 1: thing when you study about Michael Irvan and uh, you know,
3:28
Speaker 1: they told the story about when they first got there
3:31
Speaker 1: was all about Tuesday payday. They didn't care if they
3:33
Speaker 1: want or lost. And they changed that, and they changed
3:36
Speaker 1: it how by they got a room full of competitors
3:38
Speaker 1: in that locker room that it's not about the Tuesday
3:40
Speaker 1: pay day, it's about winning and if that fits your
3:44
Speaker 1: job description, is a good place for you. If it doesn't,
3:46
Speaker 1: you can't stay here. That was the message and it
3:48
Speaker 1: was pretty profound. Now to the nuts and bolts of
3:51
Speaker 1: in game coaching, situational football is much different in the
3:54
Speaker 1: NFL than it is in college. The two minute rules
3:57
Speaker 1: are much different, strategy of challenge, flag isn't the like.
4:00
Speaker 1: That's partly why Meyer wanted NFL experience in his coordinators
4:04
Speaker 1: to help with that transition. The Jaguars analytics department helps also, Well,
4:09
Speaker 1: this is interesting that in college football that you know,
4:13
Speaker 1: professional football, I want to say it's seven out of
4:15
Speaker 1: ten times you're gonna come down to the final drive.
4:18
Speaker 1: In college football is not that way at all. So
4:20
Speaker 1: we actually have an analytics team. We have Bebel and
4:23
Speaker 1: I have two guys that thorough job as analytics, and
4:26
Speaker 1: we've actually been working at night going through the scenarios.
4:29
Speaker 1: So we do have two point charts, but it's a
4:31
Speaker 1: little more complicated just go for two. There's a lot
4:33
Speaker 1: of variables that quite honestly, I have never been this
4:37
Speaker 1: detailed as we are now because it just didn't happen.
4:41
Speaker 1: Pretty much studied the challenge flag and the probability and
4:45
Speaker 1: statistics behind that. It's obviously don't know that. That's a
4:48
Speaker 1: big reason why Bev is gonna be upstairs and he's
4:49
Speaker 1: gonna have, you know, strategically located people that helped me
4:53
Speaker 1: with that um to say I have the answers for that.
4:56
Speaker 1: I'm gonna learn as we go, but I'm gonna really
4:59
Speaker 1: like I always have. I think most coaches would tell
5:00
Speaker 1: you they the chaos on the field, you have to
5:03
Speaker 1: have someone upstairs in a in that kind of environment,
5:06
Speaker 1: has all the data in front of him. And that
5:08
Speaker 1: plus that video. Meyers said that offensive coordinator Darryl Bevil
5:12
Speaker 1: will be in the coach's booth with passing game coordinator
5:15
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer on the field. We moved out a quarterback,
5:18
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Meyers said Thursday morning that both Lawrence and
5:22
Speaker 1: Gardner him into the second would play Saturday night, but
5:24
Speaker 1: he wasn't ready to name the starter or to say
5:27
Speaker 1: how long the first team would play as a whole.
5:29
Speaker 1: No matter the time or the amount of snaps in
5:32
Speaker 1: the game, Lawrence is ready to go first game. Obviously,
5:36
Speaker 1: it's nice for playing at home in front of the
5:39
Speaker 1: home crowd. So we're really excited. We've been working past
5:42
Speaker 1: three or four weeks, but really even since the spring,
5:45
Speaker 1: just trying to get ready for for these moments. And
5:47
Speaker 1: this will be this'll be good. A lot of people
5:48
Speaker 1: are gonna play, but and this is in our minds,
5:51
Speaker 1: it's the real game. We're still trying to win the game.
5:53
Speaker 1: A lot of people look at preseason differently, but hey,
5:55
Speaker 1: this is where it starts for for the Jags. This
5:57
Speaker 1: year's is game one preseason. How have you gotten better
6:00
Speaker 1: going through your weeks throughout the last week or so, Yeah,
6:04
Speaker 1: I think as as time goes on, you keep learning,
6:06
Speaker 1: and when you learn from a mistake, when you when
6:09
Speaker 1: you make a mistake, it's like, well, I'm not gonna
6:11
Speaker 1: do that again. So it's like I've had a few,
6:13
Speaker 1: i mean dumb mistakes over the past few weeks. That's
6:15
Speaker 1: just part of you know, the the learning learning curve,
6:18
Speaker 1: the learning process, and you know, the good thing is
6:21
Speaker 1: when you make a mistake, you're not You're probably not
6:22
Speaker 1: gonna do the same thing again. So that's the way
6:24
Speaker 1: I've been looking at it. But I think just trusting
6:27
Speaker 1: my guys, building that um I guess relationship and connection
6:32
Speaker 1: and trust with them to where I'm not having to
6:34
Speaker 1: really think. I know, I know what I'm doing, they
6:35
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, and I know the spot they're
6:37
Speaker 1: gonna be in. I think we're getting more and more comfortable.
6:40
Speaker 1: And then for me, just keeping it simple, finding the
6:42
Speaker 1: open guy and not trying to do too much. We've
6:45
Speaker 1: got great players, you know, I don't have to I
6:46
Speaker 1: don't have to run around and do everything. We've got
6:48
Speaker 1: guys that can make play. So just trusting them. What
6:50
Speaker 1: are your own expectations and joint time exactly. Yeah, I'm
6:55
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I'm gonna play, so that's just
6:57
Speaker 1: if I know I'm gonna play, I'm gonna be prepared.
6:59
Speaker 1: And that's the way I'm looking at it. So how
7:02
Speaker 1: much I don't really don't really know for sure. Um,
7:04
Speaker 1: I'm sure a fair amount. So I'm just gonna be
7:07
Speaker 1: ready for for whatever I have. I know me and
7:08
Speaker 1: Gardner will will play. Darrel or Brian or Hurting says
7:11
Speaker 1: to you, Okay, you're gonna play X amount and you
7:15
Speaker 1: in your mind they didn't want to play maybe another
7:17
Speaker 1: series or two. Would you be comfortable lobbying the coaches?
7:20
Speaker 1: Can you can you? Can you give you another serious
7:23
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, I'd be comfortable, but I
7:25
Speaker 1: don't I don't think that will really help. So I
7:28
Speaker 1: don't think it would really matter. But for sure, that's
7:30
Speaker 1: how we're all like that. When you when you get
7:32
Speaker 1: in a game and you get rolling, getting a rhythm,
7:35
Speaker 1: you want to keep playing. But also you gotta understand
7:37
Speaker 1: that it's a long season. So I understand that, and
7:40
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I just I just really trust
7:42
Speaker 1: the coaches in their plan, so we'll be ready. Though
7:45
Speaker 1: everybody's looking forward to the debut of Number sixteen, tomorrow
7:48
Speaker 1: night on Jaguars Happy Our Radio. Thursday Night, Sirius XM
7:52
Speaker 1: radio host Jim Miller, a former journeyman quarterback in the NFL,
7:56
Speaker 1: including a nineteen stop with the Jags, shared his thoughts
7:59
Speaker 1: on Lawrence and Menshewan even this morning said they're still
8:03
Speaker 1: a quarterback competition, and that would be the case going
8:06
Speaker 1: in maybe all the way to Week one against Houston.
8:09
Speaker 1: Do you buy it? Um? No, I agree with it.
8:12
Speaker 1: I think that they're They're ultimately going to make a decision.
8:15
Speaker 1: I think everybody just kind of by default thinks that's
8:17
Speaker 1: gonna be Trevor Lawrence is gonna get in here. But
8:20
Speaker 1: you can't just throw the kid to the wolves. You
8:21
Speaker 1: know a Darrell Bevil who I know well what played
8:23
Speaker 1: against him in college and know him as a coach.
8:26
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna know where he's at. Can he
8:28
Speaker 1: protect himself? Can he you know? Does he understand the
8:30
Speaker 1: blitz is, the hot routes, the audibles, all those things,
8:33
Speaker 1: and that's gonna show itself. So I think, you know,
8:35
Speaker 1: for coach, I don't know why any coach would just
8:38
Speaker 1: declare the position open, especially when you've got a young
8:40
Speaker 1: guy coming in you know, I give the example of
8:43
Speaker 1: Wilson up there for the for the New York Jets.
8:46
Speaker 1: Unfortunately Greg Natt passes away and they really that kids
8:49
Speaker 1: not insulated right now. There's not a veteran around him
8:52
Speaker 1: that has really played, and it's a young team that
8:55
Speaker 1: have have a lot of competitive spots. I think it's
8:57
Speaker 1: much better here for Trevor Lawrence. But I think he's
9:00
Speaker 1: got to show all those things and not to throw
9:02
Speaker 1: him to the wolves. If he if he's earned the position,
9:04
Speaker 1: when he's ready to play, he'll he'll get out there.
9:06
Speaker 1: And obviously it's a credit to Gardner Minshew to really
9:09
Speaker 1: come out and compete, and he hasn't conceded anything and
9:11
Speaker 1: he's making in a competitive room for Trevor Lawrence. Is
9:15
Speaker 1: the future of If it goes Trevor Lawrence's way, Does
9:19
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew stick around here as the backup? Does he
9:21
Speaker 1: have value elsewhere in the league? How do you see
9:24
Speaker 1: his value? Well, you know, you listen to I Rban
9:26
Speaker 1: Myriy said, Hey, this isn't a four year plan, it's
9:28
Speaker 1: a one year plan. And I would think Gardner comes
9:30
Speaker 1: in with the most experience that God forbid. If Trevor
9:33
Speaker 1: were to go down to injury, I think Gardner gives
9:35
Speaker 1: you a better chance to win than no offense. To
9:37
Speaker 1: see j Beathard, he has played from his standpoint, but
9:41
Speaker 1: to me, Minshew is a physical upgrade to him, So
9:44
Speaker 1: to me, I think there's value in keeping Minshew here.
9:47
Speaker 1: We moved to the offensive backfield into the running back room,
9:50
Speaker 1: and former Jaguars running back Maurice Jones Drew is a
9:53
Speaker 1: Jaguars camp this week with NFL Network and Jaguars reporter
9:56
Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan got his thoughts on the changes and the
9:59
Speaker 1: running Actually, we haven't had the chance to talk with
10:01
Speaker 1: you since the draft. Yes, Travisy t n is out
10:05
Speaker 1: here on this field. I can't wait to watch them.
10:07
Speaker 1: Have James Robinson, have Carlos Hide. How is this gonna work?
10:10
Speaker 1: How are they gonna split up all these running backs?
10:12
Speaker 1: I think it's more about who gets hot, right, That's
10:14
Speaker 1: the most important. That you have a plethora of guys
10:17
Speaker 1: that do different things. Obviously, Travis can do a lot
10:20
Speaker 1: more than other guys, A more virtuile guy out of
10:22
Speaker 1: the back build, guy that can line up with different places.
10:25
Speaker 1: But whoever gets hot is gonna be the one that's
10:27
Speaker 1: gonna Karen Little. I was in one of those back
10:29
Speaker 1: builds with Fred Taylor, and regardless if I got how
10:31
Speaker 1: or not, Frand We're still gonna get the ball. So
10:32
Speaker 1: I knew I just had to be very precise and
10:35
Speaker 1: direct with my touches. But at the same time, I
10:38
Speaker 1: think it's an open competition. Guys are competing to get better,
10:41
Speaker 1: and that it's all only gonna be good for the
10:42
Speaker 1: Jaguars because they're all gonna be ready to go. And
10:45
Speaker 1: you have social media, so I'm sure you see this.
10:47
Speaker 1: After the draft, the Jaguars draft Travisy t n and
10:50
Speaker 1: some people are like, well, why would you do that
10:52
Speaker 1: when you have James Robinson. But Coach Meyer is telling
10:54
Speaker 1: us the importance of fresh lakes is a real thing,
10:57
Speaker 1: no question. I think those people need to mind their business.
11:00
Speaker 1: They don't know anything. Um No, this is the thing,
11:03
Speaker 1: you know. I thought the Jags were in a great
11:05
Speaker 1: position to draft best available, right, Um, you take Obviously
11:09
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is your first pick. You have an opportunity
11:11
Speaker 1: to get best available once they at um and Travis
11:15
Speaker 1: is sitting there and you saw his career and you
11:16
Speaker 1: saw how explosive he was, how versatile. He was. You
11:20
Speaker 1: see a lot of possibly Christian McCaffrey in there, and
11:23
Speaker 1: so you want to have that because you see what
11:25
Speaker 1: the Panthers look like with Christian and without him, right,
11:28
Speaker 1: So if I can get something similar or close to that,
11:30
Speaker 1: I want that. And so I thought it was an
11:32
Speaker 1: awesome pick up. Yes, it may take away from James's
11:35
Speaker 1: touches a little bit, but that's okay. Like it's about
11:37
Speaker 1: it's about winning here and I think this city is
11:39
Speaker 1: as ready for that. I think Urban is bringing a
11:41
Speaker 1: ton of positivity, a ton of excitement, and that draft
11:44
Speaker 1: pick shows that he wants to win, right. Yeah, we
11:46
Speaker 1: have some other holes, but we want to be more athletic.
11:48
Speaker 1: We want to be fast or more explosive, and that's
11:51
Speaker 1: what we're getting here with Travis. Al Right, m j D.
11:53
Speaker 1: I know you know you're addressing the team after practice.
11:56
Speaker 1: I just heard, Yeah, what's your game? Are you gonna say?
11:59
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell him, you know, like, in order
12:02
Speaker 1: to be a great team is something I wish I
12:04
Speaker 1: did more of when I was here, was holding our
12:06
Speaker 1: each other accountable. I think that's the most important thing one.
12:10
Speaker 1: And then to not taking things personal when you're thinking
12:12
Speaker 1: held accountable, and then three giving it everything you have
12:15
Speaker 1: every day to get better. That's the only way to
12:16
Speaker 1: get better is when you give everything you have. Right
12:19
Speaker 1: if you're sure, if you're not feeling well, still go
12:21
Speaker 1: out there and push yourselves and the like the grates
12:23
Speaker 1: that have played here. That's what they did. That's the
12:25
Speaker 1: way I was taught. And uh, I think the biggest
12:28
Speaker 1: thing though, in order for the Jags get where they
12:29
Speaker 1: want to get to, holding each other accountable, uh, not
12:32
Speaker 1: allowing guys to miss things, allowing guys to be comfortable
12:36
Speaker 1: arrest on their laurels is something that I helped get
12:39
Speaker 1: them over the hump. The full video available on Jaguars
12:42
Speaker 1: dot Com. We stay in the Backfield with a sneak
12:45
Speaker 1: preview of Saturday evenings pregame visit with pride of the
12:48
Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, and he offers his thoughts
12:51
Speaker 1: about the early preseason depth chart at running back. They're
12:54
Speaker 1: all going to get some time. What do you make
12:56
Speaker 1: of the running back room? Now? You know, I'm loving it, man.
12:59
Speaker 1: I think they have extreme dynamic in there. They have
13:02
Speaker 1: you know, a solid vat and hide. He still has
13:05
Speaker 1: some you know left in his tank. You know, just
13:07
Speaker 1: going back to j R. James Robinson, he's a year older, right,
13:11
Speaker 1: He's a happy related birthday about a week or two ago.
13:15
Speaker 1: Uh So I want to give him birthday shout out.
13:17
Speaker 1: But again to be undrafted to come in and do
13:19
Speaker 1: the things he did, you know as remarkable, and I
13:22
Speaker 1: think he's hungry and excited, you know, in year two
13:25
Speaker 1: ensuring people that he wasn't a fluke. So I'm excited
13:27
Speaker 1: for him as well. And Travis Man, he' t n
13:31
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, smaller guy, but not small small, but
13:34
Speaker 1: he's just a little bit smaller than those guys. He's
13:37
Speaker 1: gonna prove that he can bang around in there. You know,
13:39
Speaker 1: he has some very good versatility. They're gonna move him around,
13:43
Speaker 1: able to create different form formation matchups with the linebackers.
13:48
Speaker 1: Maybe some teams are bringing heavy, maybe some team's gotta
13:51
Speaker 1: adjusting bringing the nickel package, coach Meyer, and and as well,
13:55
Speaker 1: It'll allowed the offense to identify coverage a lot quick.
13:59
Speaker 1: So I think it's a beautiful thing to have three
14:02
Speaker 1: first and two running backs in the room, much like
14:04
Speaker 1: Maurice and myself. You know, Maurice was a guy who
14:08
Speaker 1: can you can flank him out out wide in the slot,
14:11
Speaker 1: he can run drag routes, short slant route, he can
14:14
Speaker 1: take a deep burn wheel rout side of the backfield.
14:16
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Coach Meyer is looking to use Uh
14:19
Speaker 1: Travis E t n in the same manner and with
14:22
Speaker 1: Mojoe he could hide behind the offensive line. Nobody can
14:25
Speaker 1: see him coming. Yes he could, for sure. Man, I
14:30
Speaker 1: missed that guy, but I think Travis will uh prove
14:34
Speaker 1: to everyone that the first round selection the team took him.
14:37
Speaker 1: Ask it was going to the full conversation with Fred
14:39
Speaker 1: Taylor coming up Saturday night about six forty on count

Speaker 1: now with our review of the week with defensive talk.
16:00
Speaker 1: Joe Colan is in his first year as defensive coordinator.
16:03
Speaker 1: What are the plans for this defense? What will this
16:05
Speaker 1: thing look like? Relentless is a good word to start with.
16:09
Speaker 1: Will blitz anybody anywhere from anywhere on the field. A
16:12
Speaker 1: corner can come, and safety can come and nickel. But yes,
16:15
Speaker 1: our linebacker is gonna be asked to Blitz and you know,
16:18
Speaker 1: and the challenges the other day, both those guys that
16:20
Speaker 1: you just mentioned. Dakota was all over the field, Want
16:23
Speaker 1: did a nice job a key piece of the scheme,
16:25
Speaker 1: and second year defensive ended outside linebacker Caleb and Chasa.
16:29
Speaker 1: He battled through a frustrating rookie season. And I'm gonna
16:33
Speaker 1: be honest, like, you know, just coming from where I
16:35
Speaker 1: come from, like just a winning background, like I wanted
16:37
Speaker 1: high school one in college and then like you know
16:40
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like it just wasn't kind of going
16:42
Speaker 1: our way. So it kind of got to him a
16:43
Speaker 1: little bit. But just as the year at the time
16:47
Speaker 1: go on, you know what I'm saying, Like, I just
16:48
Speaker 1: gotta focus on the positive thing. Like every day I
16:50
Speaker 1: was figuring just what I can get better and what
16:52
Speaker 1: I can take in, Like I'm not gonna see it
16:54
Speaker 1: here and just be like, hey, I don't pay attention
16:56
Speaker 1: to media, like I see you know what I'm saying,
16:57
Speaker 1: Like we've grown, like we see everyone everybody talking about
17:00
Speaker 1: and I know what I need to get better. I
17:01
Speaker 1: know what I gotta fix up. And that's just some
17:03
Speaker 1: things I've been trying to polish up. The whole time.
17:05
Speaker 1: As this offseason has progressed, so has Chased On. Oh man,
17:09
Speaker 1: I'm tremendously progressed. You know, just as it's time going,
17:13
Speaker 1: you get more film, you get more time to study,
17:15
Speaker 1: and then you just get around vets and people who've
17:18
Speaker 1: been around the game. I talked to Roy and Malcolm,
17:20
Speaker 1: people who's been the league, you know, obviously Josh been
17:23
Speaker 1: there for a couple of years, smooth, and just people
17:25
Speaker 1: across the D line who's kind of gaving me knowledge
17:27
Speaker 1: every day. Just Zach because ties people who see in
17:31
Speaker 1: the league and just see how things come in. Just
17:33
Speaker 1: the NFL is a copy k Lee. You know what
17:34
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You're gonna sae it one game, you're gonna
17:36
Speaker 1: see it the next game, you're gonna see the neck.
17:37
Speaker 1: Like everybody's kind of doing the same thing. So I'm
17:40
Speaker 1: I'm progressing tremendously and I'm taking advantage of it. He
17:43
Speaker 1: and Josh Shallen on the opposite side, former strong duo
17:45
Speaker 1: of rushers. On the interior, Colin discussed the big tackles
17:50
Speaker 1: Davana Hamilton and Malcolm Brown tell you they're working, They're
17:53
Speaker 1: working great every day And I tell you know, Wednesday,
17:56
Speaker 1: we had our challenge day. They both really stood tall
17:59
Speaker 1: and you know, Ham's second year guy loved him coming out.
18:03
Speaker 1: He's got the makeup of of what we need in
18:06
Speaker 1: the middle, big pound, girth, nose tackle that can get
18:10
Speaker 1: knocked back, and he showed that on Wednesday with Paths.
18:12
Speaker 1: Hamilton has experience with head coach Irvian Meyer back at
18:15
Speaker 1: Ohio State, but the message, while familiar, never gets stale. No,
18:20
Speaker 1: you gotta pay attention every time, man. And you know,
18:22
Speaker 1: you never know when he's gonna throw a question at
18:24
Speaker 1: You never know when he's gonna expect something out of you.
18:26
Speaker 1: And again it's a challenge on and off the field.
18:29
Speaker 1: I guess the favorite thing that he says, what's your
18:32
Speaker 1: favorite thing that he says? Relentless effort. I mean that
18:35
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna win games. I mean, honestly, we got
18:38
Speaker 1: everybody out there plus two and finish him. I mean,
18:42
Speaker 1: it's really not to meet teams that's gonna beat us.
18:44
Speaker 1: We moved a linebacker. Damian Wilson came to the Jaguars
18:48
Speaker 1: in free agency from the Kansas City Chiefs and was
18:50
Speaker 1: in a battle with incumbent Joe Schobert for a middle
18:53
Speaker 1: linebacker spot. Thursday afternoon, reports surface that the Jaguars had
18:57
Speaker 1: traded Schobert to the Pittsburgh Steelers after one year with
19:00
Speaker 1: the organization. Schulbert was the leading tackler for the Jags.
19:04
Speaker 1: Let's move to the secondary was C. J. Henderson off
19:07
Speaker 1: to the side early in camp and working his way
19:09
Speaker 1: back full since then. There is a battle at one
19:12
Speaker 1: of the outside cornerback spots. Plus four players are competing
19:16
Speaker 1: for one of the safety positions. Jeff Loguman and I
19:18
Speaker 1: broke it down on Thursdays Jaguars Happy Hour, and I
19:22
Speaker 1: know there's a couple other positions at cornerback. There's a
19:24
Speaker 1: couple of co starters in Sidney Jones, who is a
19:27
Speaker 1: veteran guy coming back from an injury. And then the
19:30
Speaker 1: second round pick, Tyson Campbell, who um, he should be
19:33
Speaker 1: the Marvel superhero called the Shadow because the guy can
19:36
Speaker 1: run and he's right in the hip pocket of wide
19:38
Speaker 1: receivers playing man. I mean, he's that good shadow he
19:41
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, that was a cool name for him.
19:44
Speaker 1: Is that copyrighted? I don't think so, But we should
19:46
Speaker 1: rush out and do it. I think if we could
19:48
Speaker 1: do that online right now. But seriously, I think I
19:51
Speaker 1: would I had I called him the shadow, because I
19:54
Speaker 1: mean when I watched his college film, I mean, he
19:56
Speaker 1: was always right there. And when you watch him even
19:59
Speaker 1: out there now against the top of higher end talent
20:03
Speaker 1: than what he faced in college, he's doing some of
20:05
Speaker 1: the same exact things that you watched him do in college,
20:08
Speaker 1: and and he has elite speed. And the guys that
20:13
Speaker 1: can stay with somebody, like when I said when I
20:15
Speaker 1: call him shadow, the guys that can't do that are
20:18
Speaker 1: the ones that don't have elite speed because they're always
20:21
Speaker 1: trying to make up for the lack of speed by
20:24
Speaker 1: maybe playing them a little bit more off. The guys
20:27
Speaker 1: that truly have elite speed, they're not worried about somebody
20:29
Speaker 1: running by because they know they've got the speed to
20:32
Speaker 1: be able to make up and catch them. And that's
20:34
Speaker 1: what this young man, Tyson Campbell has. He's a good one.
20:37
Speaker 1: And now on the back end of that, doesn't have
20:39
Speaker 1: ball skills that there's a little bit of weakness. That's
20:41
Speaker 1: the one area that he's got to work on. I say,
20:44
Speaker 1: doesn't have ball skills ability to knock it down, but
20:48
Speaker 1: in some cases he's in position to where make a
20:51
Speaker 1: play on the ball and intercepted, which is what Like
20:54
Speaker 1: Andre Cisco, he's one of the best at it. He's
20:57
Speaker 1: fantastic at it up at Syracuse SO and the other
21:00
Speaker 1: a position on the back end of the defense of
21:01
Speaker 1: free safety, Rashon Jenkins is the starter at least on
21:04
Speaker 1: the first step charge strong safety. There are four co starters,
21:08
Speaker 1: Josh Jones or Jared Wilson, or Rudy Ford or Andre Cisco,
21:14
Speaker 1: and that's a good battle. I mean, Jared Wilson has
21:16
Speaker 1: been the starter here for a number of years. Josh
21:19
Speaker 1: Jones has been a has a very physical element to
21:23
Speaker 1: his game, is a little bit of a liability I think,
21:26
Speaker 1: and coverage sometimes, but if you're gonna play him in
21:28
Speaker 1: the box, he might have a little bit of an advantage.
21:31
Speaker 1: And Rudy Ford's a physical guy. Uh Cisco is I
21:36
Speaker 1: think is eventually the heir apparent just because of his
21:39
Speaker 1: ball skills. If he doesn't win it out right and
21:41
Speaker 1: at the start of the year, well but you remember
21:43
Speaker 1: now he's coming back from believing a c L that's
21:46
Speaker 1: pretty significant injury that he had. So what he's been
21:48
Speaker 1: out there every day as far as he has been
21:51
Speaker 1: in here, and he and you know a lot of
21:52
Speaker 1: guys that you see come back and I've had an
21:55
Speaker 1: A C. L and and uh, and it's not easy
21:57
Speaker 1: in there are moments where you just don't feel normal.
22:00
Speaker 1: But when you watch him, you don't see any signs
22:04
Speaker 1: of him favoring that Knie. So that's really good for
22:07
Speaker 1: the Jaguars from that standpoint. The archives at both hours
