Speaker 1: and a five star rating. Let's begin last weekend with
0:43
Speaker 1: Rookie Minicamp presented by Baptist Health. It was our first
0:47
Speaker 1: look at the rookies on the field. Only eight teen
0:50
Speaker 1: players participated, but most eyes were on the quarterback Trevor Lawrence,
0:54
Speaker 1: who can't wait to get back to full speed after
0:57
Speaker 1: his offseason surgery. Man, it was great yesterday. It was
1:00
Speaker 1: our first day. We had a good day with all
1:02
Speaker 1: the rookies and um, just getting out there and you know,
1:05
Speaker 1: putting things together physically. You know, we've been working the
1:07
Speaker 1: past few days mentally and just getting ready. Um, all
1:11
Speaker 1: the guys kind of who have you know, we're going
1:12
Speaker 1: on install so kind of thinking a lot, but it's
1:16
Speaker 1: it feels really good to get out there and get
1:17
Speaker 1: some reps all together. Um. So I know the guys
1:20
Speaker 1: are excited about that. We've had two good, two good days.
1:22
Speaker 1: I mean, it's only so much you can do with
1:25
Speaker 1: you know, only you know, fifteen guys or so. But
1:28
Speaker 1: I think we've made the most of it. You know,
1:29
Speaker 1: everyone has the right mentality, and it's been a very
1:32
Speaker 1: productive two days. I know for me, I feel like
1:33
Speaker 1: I'm in a way better spot than I was before
1:35
Speaker 1: that first practice. So I feel like I'm getting ready
1:38
Speaker 1: and just really excited not only for tomorrow, but then
1:41
Speaker 1: to get all the vets in here and um, just
1:43
Speaker 1: to get to know them and get to work with them.
1:45
Speaker 1: And I know Coach Meyer kind of mentioned that you
1:46
Speaker 1: were working on getting the call in your helmet during
1:49
Speaker 1: these couple of days of mini camps. How are you
1:51
Speaker 1: getting used to that? Yeah, it's different. Um, it's definitely
1:54
Speaker 1: a lot different than what I'm used to tell me.
1:55
Speaker 1: We signaled in college, so uh nfls can completely differ front.
2:00
Speaker 1: But you know, I think I'm making good progress. You know,
2:02
Speaker 1: I'm getting more I'm getting more used to hearing the
2:04
Speaker 1: calls and repeating them and you know, breaking them up
2:06
Speaker 1: to where everyone's understanding it, and really being able to
2:09
Speaker 1: direct guys because um, some of the guys were just
2:11
Speaker 1: trying to learn everything still. So I think that's helping
2:14
Speaker 1: a lot me being able to, you know, take take
2:16
Speaker 1: charge and lead a little bit there. Um, And it's
2:18
Speaker 1: just getting more and more comfortable with that, which which
2:20
Speaker 1: I am. But that just takes a bunch of reps.
2:22
Speaker 1: You know. To get good at something, you've got to
2:23
Speaker 1: practice it a lot. So it's gonna keep working. What's
2:26
Speaker 1: been different for you or has it been difficult to
2:29
Speaker 1: be on a pitch count? Yeah, I mean, uh, it's
2:32
Speaker 1: you know, I really appreciate the staff here just looking
2:34
Speaker 1: out for my best interest, trying to slowly get me
2:37
Speaker 1: back in in game shape and throwing shape for practice
2:40
Speaker 1: so I can go out there full go whenever the
2:42
Speaker 1: whole teams back together. So, um, that's been good for me.
2:45
Speaker 1: It's a little for me. I want to get out
2:46
Speaker 1: there and just and just throw and go, but I
2:49
Speaker 1: think it's it's better for me in the long run
2:51
Speaker 1: just to take it slow and get acclimated, just because
2:54
Speaker 1: still recovering from my left shoulder. It's feeling great. Um,
2:56
Speaker 1: no complaints here and making great progress, but still got
2:59
Speaker 1: to just be some art and take it easy. But yeah,
3:01
Speaker 1: I'm wanting to go out there and throw a lot,
3:03
Speaker 1: but we're keeping it, you know, around thirty to forty balls,
3:06
Speaker 1: not including the warm up, so um, keeping it light,
3:08
Speaker 1: just to make sure I'm feeling good. Hey, co German
3:11
Speaker 1: Meyer shared his initial thoughts on Lawrence Travis E t
3:14
Speaker 1: N repping it wide receiver and he had an early
3:17
Speaker 1: impression of late round pick wide receiver Jalen Camp. We're
3:20
Speaker 1: just curious how cautious you're being with him. Yeah, he's
3:23
Speaker 1: looked great, been great in meetings. Uh, you know, no
3:26
Speaker 1: huddle quarterbacks have a tendency to struggle a little bit
3:29
Speaker 1: with verbage and calling plays and getting used to a
3:32
Speaker 1: coordinator calling it in your helmet. He's really adapted well
3:34
Speaker 1: to that. He's on a thirty to forty pitch account
3:37
Speaker 1: right now and that's just our physical therapist we're watching that.
3:40
Speaker 1: We're being very cautious. Can probably go a little bit more,
3:43
Speaker 1: but um, you know, we just want to be very
3:45
Speaker 1: smart about everything. I urban. I know you had mentioned
3:48
Speaker 1: that Jalen Camp was a guy that you didn't know
3:51
Speaker 1: a lot about when the team drafted him. Just curious
3:53
Speaker 1: what you saw from the various wide receivers Jalen included,
3:56
Speaker 1: and of course Travis too. Yeah, we're trying. If you
3:59
Speaker 1: saw it, Travis was getting most of his reps today
4:01
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Um, we're trying. You know, he's the
4:04
Speaker 1: leading rusher in a SEC history, so for him to
4:07
Speaker 1: run inside zone and power and zone right now, we thought,
4:10
Speaker 1: let's just at the worst case scenario, you have a
4:13
Speaker 1: running back with skill set of a wide receiver. Best
4:16
Speaker 1: case scenario, you have a hybrid player that can do both.
4:19
Speaker 1: And that's what we're hoping to develop out of Travis
4:22
Speaker 1: Um Jalen. Jalen is a nice, nice guy. You're right,
4:25
Speaker 1: I didn't know him. He was a big, strong, fast
4:28
Speaker 1: guy that works his tailoff. So we just had two days,
4:31
Speaker 1: but so far, really good. The full press conference is
4:34
Speaker 1: available on Jaguars dot com. The e t N news
4:38
Speaker 1: created a ridiculous firestorm on social media, national talk radio,
4:43
Speaker 1: and some national television shows. Meyer in some instances was
4:46
Speaker 1: criticized for the move to put et in at wide
4:49
Speaker 1: receiver in rookie minicamp, But those criticisms left out the
4:52
Speaker 1: fact that the quarterback wasn't allowed to hand off, and
4:55
Speaker 1: that this had been the plan for e t N
4:57
Speaker 1: all along to cross train at wide receiver and at
5:01
Speaker 1: running back. On the Jaguars Reporters podcast Monday, John Osier,
5:04
Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan, Brian Sexton and I discussed our next big
5:08
Speaker 1: thing today. I'll go next is the overreaction to the
5:12
Speaker 1: Travis e t n working at wide receiver business. It
5:17
Speaker 1: just feels so strange to me. A lot of it's
5:19
Speaker 1: from outside of the local marketplace. I get that some
5:23
Speaker 1: of it seems like it's sniping at urban because a
5:27
Speaker 1: lot of people like to snipe at urban. It feels
5:29
Speaker 1: like in the national media that may not be around
5:31
Speaker 1: here a lot. And uh, that's been the plan the
5:35
Speaker 1: whole time, is to cross train him and to give
5:38
Speaker 1: him some time at wide receiver because that's going to
5:41
Speaker 1: be what his position is, not just wide receiver, but
5:44
Speaker 1: he's a running back. He's both and how can you
5:47
Speaker 1: work at running back when nobody can hand it to
5:49
Speaker 1: you during rookie minicamp? The Trevor is not going to
5:51
Speaker 1: hand the ball off. They were gonna let him do
5:53
Speaker 1: any of that stuff, So why not give him three
5:56
Speaker 1: days working at wide receiver. I just think it was
5:59
Speaker 1: so overblow nationally that it's but it's kind of expected
6:02
Speaker 1: to be overblown nationally, or they do. It's your classic
6:06
Speaker 1: Twitter reaction. News. You take a quote, did you see
6:11
Speaker 1: on Twitter? You as a national guy, you react without
6:14
Speaker 1: knowing any context. It was made to sound initially like, well,
6:19
Speaker 1: they're just working on a wide receiver, which means he's
6:21
Speaker 1: just gonna play wide receive. What Urban never said. He's
6:23
Speaker 1: just gonna play wide receiver. He said from day one,
6:26
Speaker 1: And if you go back and listen to the availability
6:29
Speaker 1: when Urban talked after the draft, he said they would
6:32
Speaker 1: not have taken him as just a running back number.
6:36
Speaker 1: They saw this guy as an explosive piece to the puzzle.
6:40
Speaker 1: They were either going to get Kadarius Tony or they
6:42
Speaker 1: were going to get him there. Why wouldn't you work
6:45
Speaker 1: him a wide receiver this weekend? What in the world
6:47
Speaker 1: is he going to gain in a fifteen to eighteen
6:50
Speaker 1: person practice taking handles from the quarterback. If the quarterback
6:54
Speaker 1: could even hand off, won't they wouldn't let him do it.
6:56
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you work in a wide receiver this weekend?
6:59
Speaker 1: When did you think they were gonna start working wide
7:00
Speaker 1: receiver November December? Now is the time to do it.
7:06
Speaker 1: It was the stupidest controversy. Well, that's what they do.
7:12
Speaker 1: It's may people want to be outraged so that they
7:15
Speaker 1: can get a reaction on social media. That's all it is.
7:18
Speaker 1: Because I was listening to the availability on Saturday and
7:21
Speaker 1: he said, we've always had a guy like this. Anywhere
7:24
Speaker 1: he's been, they've had a multidimensional guy like so that's
7:28
Speaker 1: what he was from the start. And with eighteen players working,
7:31
Speaker 1: give me a break. Yeah, And I saw something where
7:33
Speaker 1: if he's working at wide receiver, this might take away
7:36
Speaker 1: from him being a running back and he might lose
7:38
Speaker 1: some of this. How hard is it to play running back?
7:42
Speaker 1: He's done this right, Yeah, everybody knows for years it's
7:46
Speaker 1: the easiest position. It's not easy. I'm not interesting, but
7:48
Speaker 1: if you can easiest position to adapt, well, you take
7:51
Speaker 1: the ball, you run to a hole, you run fast,
7:53
Speaker 1: you run over guys. And he knows how to run
7:56
Speaker 1: in power, he knows how. He's been here, done that.
7:59
Speaker 1: He's the all time leader Rusher in the A C. C.
8:01
Speaker 1: We're not really that worried about it. If they get
8:03
Speaker 1: into buying and have to pitch to E. T. N,
8:05
Speaker 1: he'll know what to do with the ball. At some point,
8:09
Speaker 1: nature and instincts will take over. The Jaguars Reporters podcast
8:12
Speaker 1: hits mondays on This Jaguars Official podcast Network a little
8:17
Speaker 1: later in the week. More on the criticism of head
8:20
Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer. On the Huddle Up Podcast Wednesday, John Osjan,
8:24
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks and I explained a little bit of the
8:26
Speaker 1: background of that criticism and why it should be expected
8:31
Speaker 1: and why it shouldn't matter to Meyer or Jaguars fans,
8:34
Speaker 1: the criticism and all this stuff. The common sports fan,
8:38
Speaker 1: the common football fan, is sort of pre programmed to
8:42
Speaker 1: criticize Urban Meyer. He doesn't smile a whole lot, He
8:46
Speaker 1: wins too much. In college, he was sort of the
8:48
Speaker 1: coach that was easy to dislike, sort of like say,
8:51
Speaker 1: when you win that much, it's easy to dislike you
8:54
Speaker 1: because you're the villain. You're beating everybody's team. So I
8:57
Speaker 1: think people are predisposed to not like an Urban very much.
9:00
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I guess it's The Jaguars Podcast
9:03
Speaker 1: I would say the Jaguars fans, who cares he's your guy?
9:07
Speaker 1: I just don't think he cares that much. And I
9:08
Speaker 1: don't think the criticism matters that much. But I do
9:10
Speaker 1: think that's where it stems from. Bucky. Oh, it absolutely
9:13
Speaker 1: stems from that. For the casuals as they're called, they
9:18
Speaker 1: they look urban Meyer hurts them because he is a
9:22
Speaker 1: guy that comes from the college game and was the
9:24
Speaker 1: ultimate winner. He wanted every place and not only did
9:27
Speaker 1: they win, they won big, and they want an impressive fashion.
9:30
Speaker 1: And so when you see a guy who Urban being
9:34
Speaker 1: urban as an ultimate confident guy who talks about with
9:37
Speaker 1: these catchphrases and the ultimate competitor and plus two and
9:41
Speaker 1: A two B four to six, all those things that
9:43
Speaker 1: have been central parts of his program, people are like wow,
9:49
Speaker 1: like Charlie Brown's teacher, right, And so they get tired
9:52
Speaker 1: of and so they want to see him. They want
9:55
Speaker 1: to see him fail and they want to be able
9:57
Speaker 1: to say like, see, he couldn't make it. Uh, Nick
10:00
Speaker 1: Saban couldn't make it, and those things. And so it
10:03
Speaker 1: becomes that the Chris Dorle thing look gave those fans
10:08
Speaker 1: an opportunity or those who wanted to see him fail
10:11
Speaker 1: an opportunity to kind of talk about a this is
10:14
Speaker 1: the big boys league, man, you can't do what you
10:16
Speaker 1: did in college. You can't do that. The Tim Tebow
10:19
Speaker 1: thing is really look putting two polarizing forces together. When
10:24
Speaker 1: you have Tim Tebow and all the stuff that comes
10:26
Speaker 1: along with him, with Urban Meyer being who he is,
10:29
Speaker 1: all of that kind of it comes together because I
10:32
Speaker 1: thought there was another story that was overblown based on
10:35
Speaker 1: what it really is and what it could be if
10:37
Speaker 1: he signs, you know, and so it's one of those things.
10:40
Speaker 1: But what I always say Jaguars fans and everybody else
10:44
Speaker 1: is for so long that Jaguars have always been like
10:46
Speaker 1: the underdog. There hasn't been a lot of winning over
10:49
Speaker 1: the last decade, and so it's natural to take that
10:52
Speaker 1: take on that mantra a with the underdog, with the
10:54
Speaker 1: little engine that could and all that. Urban doesn't see
10:58
Speaker 1: himself like that, and the Jaguars aren't going to see
11:00
Speaker 1: themselves like that. So we all have to kind of
11:03
Speaker 1: flip from being like the little field good story to
11:07
Speaker 1: kind of be in the villain. And so I'm okay
11:10
Speaker 1: with that because even though we're still is the primary
11:12
Speaker 1: like I don't mind. We're all black and me in
11:14
Speaker 1: the bad. I'm okay, JP, you know what, I kind
11:18
Speaker 1: of fit into that as a college college football fan.
11:23
Speaker 1: As a casual college football fan, you know me, we
11:25
Speaker 1: talked football. I followed. I followed college football enough to
11:28
Speaker 1: know I wish there was more defense, and I kind
11:31
Speaker 1: of like watching it to figure out the players you're
11:33
Speaker 1: coming to the league. I'm not an avid college football fan,
11:35
Speaker 1: but I'll be honest. For ten years, I sort of
11:38
Speaker 1: rooted against Ohio State because I wasn't a big urban mind,
11:42
Speaker 1: you know, as a casual fan, I looked at this
11:44
Speaker 1: guy and said, he's he's Darth Vader. He and I
11:48
Speaker 1: didn't like or dislike urban Am I saying that, but
11:50
Speaker 1: it's easy to root against him. And I kind of
11:52
Speaker 1: rooted against Ohio State because I don't way seem win
11:56
Speaker 1: another another national championship. I don't want to see saving
11:58
Speaker 1: win another one. I read against him, a JP, even
12:00
Speaker 1: though I like you sometimes, But it's uh, here's the thing, though,
12:05
Speaker 1: here's what's important in all this. As you get to
12:08
Speaker 1: know urban Meyer a little bit, and as you get
12:11
Speaker 1: to watch him up close, you realize why he's been
12:15
Speaker 1: good at places you realize why he wins. There's an
12:18
Speaker 1: incredible conviction and a confidence in knowing what's right. He
12:22
Speaker 1: doesn't really care if he thinks it's right. He's not
12:26
Speaker 1: gonna sway based on public opinion. I don't think saving
12:28
Speaker 1: is either. I don't think most great coaches do. I
12:31
Speaker 1: certainly like him more, in respect him more from seeing
12:34
Speaker 1: him how he operates. And it's not just because the
12:36
Speaker 1: same guy signs our checks that I have a real
12:38
Speaker 1: respect for how he goes about it. I like guys
12:41
Speaker 1: in those positions who don't listen to noise, and I
12:45
Speaker 1: don't think he listens to noise. I think that's a
12:47
Speaker 1: good thing. The Huddle Up Podcast runs Wednesday mornings on

Speaker 1: out the Official Jaguars podcast network a free subscription on Apple,

Speaker 1: iTunes or Spotify. We have this podcast at the end
14:06
Speaker 1: of every week. Jaguars Reporters on Monday, the Huddle Up
14:09
Speaker 1: Pod Wednesday, the ozone podcast Drive Time and Happy Hour
14:13
Speaker 1: archives here also give us that five star rating. This
14:17
Speaker 1: week was the start and the end of Phase two
14:20
Speaker 1: of the off season program, so for the first time
14:23
Speaker 1: veterans were on the field this week with the rookies.
14:25
Speaker 1: The workouts were without helmets or pads, and there was
14:29
Speaker 1: no contact or team drills allowed, only individual position group
14:33
Speaker 1: drills and very specific offensive or defensive work was allowed.
14:38
Speaker 1: The good news for the Jaguars they had near perfect
14:41
Speaker 1: participation in Phase two in this voluntary period, and the
14:45
Speaker 1: energy on the practice field this week seemed real. After
14:48
Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice, I caught up with free agent edition cornerback
14:51
Speaker 1: Shaquille Griffin, who explained his impressions so far in an
14:55
Speaker 1: interview that aired Thursday night on Jaguars Happy Hour Radio.
14:59
Speaker 1: I feel is good and I feel like the reason
15:01
Speaker 1: why we have almost a perfect attendance is because you
15:03
Speaker 1: have guys who believe in something special. You know, Myers
15:06
Speaker 1: was the first one to believe by taking his job
15:07
Speaker 1: and knowing that we can turn things around. And then
15:09
Speaker 1: he got the guys he wanted to get. You know,
15:11
Speaker 1: draft went great, and now you have everybody here ready
15:13
Speaker 1: to get better, the way to improve, ready to change
15:15
Speaker 1: the world, and the way they view us in Jacksonville.
15:18
Speaker 1: So you know, they start off with Maya's first, and
15:20
Speaker 1: then the good thing is if Mayer's believing it. We
15:22
Speaker 1: believe in it, and we believe in him. So that's
15:24
Speaker 1: that's the reason why we have almost a perfect ten
15:25
Speaker 1: because everybody wants to do great, everyone wants to do better. So, man,
15:28
Speaker 1: this speeling has been unexplainable at the moment you got
15:31
Speaker 1: here in free agency and then is urban as advertised
15:35

21:11
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you a hint. My four years
21:15
Speaker 1: of high school Spanish did nothing for me. And that's
21:21
Speaker 1: not just because it was thirty years ago. But tell
21:23
Speaker 1: me about that. You obviously didn't grow up speaking Spanish.
21:27
Speaker 1: This is something that you have learned over time. Why
21:31
Speaker 1: the passion um I had was about to start speaking
21:34
Speaker 1: SPECIs okay the death of the passion um. Well, I
21:39
Speaker 1: grew up or you know, I grew up in the
21:40
Speaker 1: l A area, you know, so I grew up around
21:42
Speaker 1: like Latinos. But UM, I think it was UM. I
21:45
Speaker 1: went to Costa Rica with with my wife and her family,
21:49
Speaker 1: and UM, I was, you know, trying to communicate with
21:51
Speaker 1: the people, and I like I like to talk. I
21:53
Speaker 1: like I'm a social you know, I like I like
21:55
Speaker 1: the socialize and stuff like that. And um, you know
21:58
Speaker 1: when I was over there and talk to. I couldn't
22:00
Speaker 1: speak to anybody. I couldn't really understand. I thought I
22:02
Speaker 1: knew a little bit, but um, I couldn't understand them.
22:05
Speaker 1: So I was like Jasmine, I got it. I woke
22:08
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night. I was I
22:09
Speaker 1: gotta go to Spain, you know, just because I thought,
22:11
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't. I thought that everybody spoke the
22:13
Speaker 1: same Spanish. But you know, when I went there, they
22:15
Speaker 1: speak something called, uh, you know, a Spanish called cast
22:19
Speaker 1: down on it, so they it's a little bit different,
22:22
Speaker 1: um accent and stuff like that. But I mean Spanish
22:25
Speaker 1: in Spanish, you know. So I went over there, Um
22:28
Speaker 1: I did. I did classes eight hours a day for
22:31
Speaker 1: one week. So I was over there alone for one week.
22:34
Speaker 1: When I first went there, I couldn't even order some fish,
22:37
Speaker 1: you know. And then when I left, you know, I
22:39
Speaker 1: was telling the taxis where to go and do all
22:41
Speaker 1: that stuff. So so yeah, so because I put in,
22:44

22:49
Speaker 1: that whole season, I took classes. UM. I took classes
22:53
Speaker 1: online and I hired two Spanish teachers. UM, and I
22:56
