- 0:04Speaker 1: Yes, the defense is doing great. Applaud the defense. But
- 0:06Speaker 1: I like how Trevor always kind of says, yeah, it's
- 0:08Speaker 1: really difficult right now with no pads on it. Welcome
- 0:11Speaker 1: to Jaguars Reporters presented by t I A A Bank
- 0:16Speaker 1: with Brian Sexton, John Oshan, Ashlyn Sullivan, and J P. Shadrack.

- 0:47Speaker 1: We love the feedback. Of course, John certainly does leave
- 0:50Speaker 1: us a comment at a five star rating. Did you
- 0:52Speaker 1: keep saying that there's nothing more than comments because I
- 0:56Speaker 1: read them, You read them in the ozone all the time.
- 0:58Speaker 1: You didn't go that well from Yeah, and I don't
- 1:01Speaker 1: think he reads Twitter comments either. A scary places, a
- 1:06Speaker 1: scary place out there. It is a scary place. O
- 1:09Speaker 1: g A number seven in the books. Today a couple
- 1:12Speaker 1: of injuries, let's start with that today. And Jordan's Smith
- 1:14Speaker 1: goes down early in practice, has helped off the field
- 1:17Speaker 1: favoring his leg, and then c. J. Beeth the very
- 1:21Speaker 1: last play had to be helped up by four different
- 1:24Speaker 1: guys onto the cart and carted off ashion. And that's
- 1:27Speaker 1: the tough day at the office. It is, especially um,
- 1:30Speaker 1: both injuries, and you hate when it's non contact and
- 1:33Speaker 1: this is the time of year when those things aren't
- 1:35Speaker 1: supposed to be happening because no one's supposed to be
- 1:37Speaker 1: hitting each other. There's no paths, and both those injuries
- 1:39Speaker 1: appeared to be just them stepping. Only C. J. Bethard
- 1:43Speaker 1: looked like he rolled out and kind of just awkwardly stepped.
- 1:47Speaker 1: It's it happens. It stinks, um, and you hope the
- 1:49Speaker 1: best for them. We don't know what's hurt as of
- 1:51Speaker 1: right now. But C. J. Bethard, especially um, didn't look good. Yeah,
- 1:55Speaker 1: he's down for a long time. And uh, you know,
- 1:57Speaker 1: I don't know that that was the planned the last
- 1:59Speaker 1: play Pry just but it became appropriate to make it
- 2:01Speaker 1: the last point. They the last play of practice, and
- 2:04Speaker 1: again You hate to speculate because we have seen in
- 2:07Speaker 1: the past guys go down and then they're back in
- 2:09Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Uh, caution is the buzzword when
- 2:14Speaker 1: that happens. So it's not necessarily the down for the season,
- 2:18Speaker 1: out for whatever. But with c J you also have
- 2:21Speaker 1: to address it, what if he is what do they
- 2:24Speaker 1: do a quarterback? Pint Trevor Lawrence because he had developed
- 2:28Speaker 1: in really training camp last year from being at people
- 2:33Speaker 1: weren't sure about being a guy. You felt really good
- 2:35Speaker 1: about the backup quarterback position. Where does that stand now?
- 2:38Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, at the least at this point,
- 2:42Speaker 1: you have to bring in more quarterback bodies. If CJ
- 2:44Speaker 1: is out a couple of days. You're not finished with
- 2:46Speaker 1: O T S as of right now, and you need
- 2:48Speaker 1: four arms normally during an OT practice. So I'm curious
- 2:51Speaker 1: how that goes. And yeah, I mean c J. Beer
- 2:53Speaker 1: was the go to backup guy, the veteran presence that
- 2:55Speaker 1: Trevor really leaned on, not to see even if he's hurt,
- 2:58Speaker 1: he's not in the quarterback and being there as a presence.
- 3:01Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's a major blow if if it
- 3:03Speaker 1: goes the wrong way. Yea. They have Jake Luton, who
- 3:06Speaker 1: uh has taken snaps, had what three starts here in
- 3:09Speaker 1: two thousand, I guess it was, so, you know, it's
- 3:15Speaker 1: not absurd to think that Jake Luton could be your
- 3:17Speaker 1: backup quarterback. If that again, we're fast forward and forwarding
- 3:21Speaker 1: to September. It's never good when you see a guy
- 3:24Speaker 1: who go down in O T s. It's it's, uh,
- 3:26Speaker 1: now what you're looking for? E J. Perry the other
- 3:28Speaker 1: option right now at quarterback, the rookie out of Brown,
- 3:31Speaker 1: but very new obviously in the NFL to have to
- 3:34Speaker 1: lean on that. But a project really for Perry is
- 3:37Speaker 1: move along. Something to watch, of course over the next
- 3:39Speaker 1: couple of weeks, to see, uh, first the status of
- 3:42Speaker 1: Beth and Smith and then what happens on the roster
- 3:45Speaker 1: from there. We heard from Doug Peterson before practice today.
- 3:49Speaker 1: You know, he's, as we say most weeks on different
- 3:52Speaker 1: shows and podcasts, he's we're going through it, we're getting
- 3:56Speaker 1: her work done, we're on track, everything's fine. He just
- 4:00Speaker 1: wants to get the pads Doe. He keeps talking about it.
- 4:02Speaker 1: He's he's over this O T a period, I think
- 4:04Speaker 1: in the most respectful way. They've been there, they've done that,
- 4:06Speaker 1: they've done their work. You can tell he's ready to
- 4:08Speaker 1: talk about a practice with pads are arm well, and
- 4:11Speaker 1: it slips in right now, and then I love it.
- 4:13Speaker 1: It's they said today, it's been a successful off season
- 4:17Speaker 1: four us and it he almost made it sound past tense. Uh.
- 4:23Speaker 1: And I'm exaggerating that a little bit. But the point
- 4:26Speaker 1: to be made when we're joking about that is the
- 4:29Speaker 1: underlying Uh. The reason that's good is he knows exactly
- 4:34Speaker 1: what he wants to get out of this. He knows
- 4:36Speaker 1: what needs to be gotten out of it. He knows
- 4:38Speaker 1: that right now. He talked about it today during his availability. UM.
- 4:42Speaker 1: He knows the next step is transitioning to how they
- 4:45Speaker 1: practice in pads. He knows players are going to be
- 4:48Speaker 1: watching that. I was encouraged by something he said about that.
- 4:52Speaker 1: He's very much during training camp a guy who wants
- 4:57Speaker 1: to make sure these guys arrested and make sure they're
- 4:59Speaker 1: ready for their of the season. There's going to be contact,
- 5:02Speaker 1: but you know, I think they'll hit some You'll see
- 5:06Speaker 1: some players playing during preseason this year. I don't think
- 5:10Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long term thing with Doug I
- 5:13Speaker 1: think they'll play a lot in preseason this year because
- 5:15Speaker 1: you got to see him. But there was a year
- 5:17Speaker 1: during uh when he was in Philly that uh Wentz
- 5:21Speaker 1: didn't take a snap in a preseason game. So I
- 5:24Speaker 1: don't expect to see that this year because everything's new.
- 5:27Speaker 1: But at some point there's not gonna a lot of
- 5:30Speaker 1: guys playing in the preseason for this thing. Yeah, I
- 5:33Speaker 1: mean sadly today it's a great example of that. When
- 5:35Speaker 1: you don't want your starting quarterback to be in a
- 5:37Speaker 1: situation where he doesn't necessarily need to be in and um,
- 5:41Speaker 1: I think today sadly is a good example. Speaking of
- 5:44Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, you might have heard of him.
- 5:47Speaker 1: He spoke after practice today and he was talking about
- 5:51Speaker 1: the checks at the line. Last year was really the
- 5:55Speaker 1: big learning curve for him. When you're at the line,
- 5:58Speaker 1: you gotta go through a different checklist, look at things,
- 6:00Speaker 1: and defenses are moving on you. So this year, going
- 6:03Speaker 1: through it, John, it feels like it's not as much
- 6:06Speaker 1: of a learning curve. It's a new offense, new system,
- 6:08Speaker 1: new things to look for, but the overwhelming nature of
- 6:12Speaker 1: all these pre snap checks are not There's what he
- 6:14Speaker 1: said today. Yeah, it's so hard to sort everything when
- 6:17Speaker 1: you're analyzing Trevor because you know nothing's in a vacuum
- 6:21Speaker 1: and you've and you still have a lot of moving
- 6:23Speaker 1: parts from last season. What I mean by that is
- 6:25Speaker 1: if if he was coming in this year with the
- 6:29Speaker 1: same offense, then he might be saying, hey, I know
- 6:33Speaker 1: what I'm seeing. So is the reason that he's saying
- 6:36Speaker 1: that because these this coaching staff is doing a better
- 6:39Speaker 1: job of helping him know what to see. Uh, that's
- 6:44Speaker 1: probably part of it. Part of it is he, as
- 6:47Speaker 1: you say, JP, went through his season last season where
- 6:50Speaker 1: he had to learn how to do checks. Its interesting
- 6:53Speaker 1: something he said along those lines today though about there's
- 6:57Speaker 1: only so much you can do with the line and
- 6:58Speaker 1: you've got to go up with your check list and
- 7:00Speaker 1: then you've got to make a choice between that. That
- 7:03Speaker 1: seems to me like this staff is saying, here's what
- 7:06Speaker 1: you do, here's your options. You're not gonna have twenty
- 7:09Speaker 1: five options, You're gonna have four or five. Take it
- 7:12Speaker 1: from this and if it's not there, you know, Dirtt
- 7:15Speaker 1: move on. So UM, I think there's a little bit
- 7:19Speaker 1: of that that this staff has to approach him as
- 7:23Speaker 1: if he is a rookie, and and and I figure
- 7:25Speaker 1: out what he knows, there'll be a point in his
- 7:27Speaker 1: career where he does go to the line with twenty
- 7:29Speaker 1: five things and where he has instant feedback when he
- 7:31Speaker 1: has uh that sort of camaraderie with receivers that he
- 7:36Speaker 1: will be able to have muscle memory from two or
- 7:39Speaker 1: three years ago. Right now, you still want to make
- 7:42Speaker 1: it simple for Yeah. I thought two things were really
- 7:44Speaker 1: interesting when Trevor was talking, and one was how this
- 7:47Speaker 1: is the third time they're going through this offense and
- 7:49Speaker 1: that just shows how long they've been working on this,
- 7:51Speaker 1: and how every time they go through the wrinkles of
- 7:53Speaker 1: the offense there's something new added. But they've been going
- 7:56Speaker 1: through these plays now three times, and you would expect
- 7:58Speaker 1: at this point of the season that's true, But it
- 8:00Speaker 1: just shows how long they've been working on it. And
- 8:03Speaker 1: I just now multiple times when we've spoken at Trevor,
- 8:06Speaker 1: he always is very keen to yes, the defense is
- 8:09Speaker 1: doing great, applaud the defense, but let's pay attention to
- 8:12Speaker 1: what we're watching. And I am one I'm always looking
- 8:15Speaker 1: at the defense and writing down in defensive players and
- 8:17Speaker 1: how they played at practices. Easy to say, oh, the
- 8:19Speaker 1: defense one today again. But I like how Trevor always
- 8:22Speaker 1: kind of backs off that line and says, yeah, it's
- 8:24Speaker 1: really difficult right now with no pads on. Well, he
- 8:27Speaker 1: does it nicely, does the defense. Obviously, you guys believe
- 8:33Speaker 1: that the defense has a huge advantage of time of year.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Because you don't have pads on, you're not really blocking
- 8:38Speaker 1: the way you would And if the defense, if you
- 8:40Speaker 1: guys go a pent they're going to get pressures. The
- 8:42Speaker 1: defense is often going to look better. But I also
- 8:46Speaker 1: think this front seven is It's not a bad sign
- 8:50Speaker 1: if you want to look at it that way. This
- 8:52Speaker 1: front seven is getting pressure. So what does it mean?
- 8:55Speaker 1: I don't know. But there was a pick today and
- 9:00Speaker 1: and that's gonna be something everybody talks about. But Trevor
- 9:03Speaker 1: was in as diplomatic a way as possible, basically saying
- 9:08Speaker 1: it probably would have been a sack. He probably have
- 9:10Speaker 1: dirted the ball. During the regular season, Again, I don't
- 9:13Speaker 1: I don't find interceptions that much to worry about on
- 9:16Speaker 1: June three, June three, is that right? June June six,
- 9:20Speaker 1: I lost three days. I'm too old. All these days
- 9:22Speaker 1: I know Shat Griffin ain't given up the interception. That
- 9:26Speaker 1: was a big moment. Yeah, taking it. How long we've
- 9:28Speaker 1: been hearing about that interception? Got it? So, Yeah, didn't
- 9:32Speaker 1: have any last season, so taking away you can get them. Also,
- 9:36Speaker 1: I asked the question of the press conference today about
- 9:38Speaker 1: the off season players. It might be our last chance
- 9:40Speaker 1: to visit with Trevor for the end of the off season,
- 9:42Speaker 1: so I wanted to kind of what are you doing,
- 9:45Speaker 1: and he's like, we're gonna throw a couple of days. Shure,
- 9:47Speaker 1: it's the fellowship and we're not saying where we're going
- 9:49Speaker 1: because people are weird. I think it's what he said,
- 9:52Speaker 1: and it's fitting that you asked the question. I think
- 9:54Speaker 1: he didn't Yeah, I don't want to know. I don't
- 9:57Speaker 1: think he wanted you to know. Yeah, I'm bad infl
- 10:00Speaker 1: And I think what we've gotten to the point where,
- 10:05Speaker 1: because of social media, everything like that is made a
- 10:09Speaker 1: big deal. I mean, every time I go on Twitter,
- 10:12Speaker 1: I have to look at this picture of somebody doing
- 10:15Speaker 1: something in a workout and you know, ks training with you,
- 10:19Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's fine. But because of that, fans
- 10:25Speaker 1: expect to see the quarterback and the receiver's training somewhere
- 10:30Speaker 1: and oh, look at what they're doing. I think term
- 10:32Speaker 1: of me the best point today when you see those pictures.
- 10:36Speaker 1: There will be some pictures tweeted out and Marvin Jones
- 10:39Speaker 1: we make on the one hand, and Catcher we excited
- 10:41Speaker 1: about it. That's all great from their perspective. From the
- 10:44Speaker 1: guy's perspective, it's the camaraderie and the team building part
- 10:47Speaker 1: of that far more than it is you're going to
- 10:51Speaker 1: get a lot out of an xs and ohs, or
- 10:53Speaker 1: are you gonna be better physically because of that? Probably not,
- 10:56Speaker 1: But it is good to see those guys go do that.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Uh and yeah, I just the whole Twitter thing with
- 11:03Speaker 1: the workout videos in the last couple of years is
- 11:07Speaker 1: just over the top. It's wearing Get off my lawn.
- 11:09Speaker 1: I think they're cool. Yeah, James Robinson was that was
- 11:17Speaker 1: cool because it's it's a sign of a guy coming back. Fine,
- 11:20Speaker 1: there's a storyline there that one counts. There's a little
- 11:23Speaker 1: bit of a storyline anyway, get off my lawn. So
- 11:28Speaker 1: I do. I think it shows team camaraderie, them getting together.
- 11:32Speaker 1: And of course they would do it anyone even if
- 11:33Speaker 1: they didn't tweet it out. It's still be cool. But um,
- 11:36Speaker 1: I think fans really dive into that stuff, and I
- 11:38Speaker 1: think we need all the positive attention the Jaguars can
- 11:41Speaker 1: get right now, So bring on. Okay, those are differing viewpoints.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Weird that we have those. I'm fine. The ones I
- 11:49Speaker 1: was specific with are the guys who do the training
- 11:52Speaker 1: where it shows they've jumped over a bridge or something
- 11:55Speaker 1: and everybody's fired up in high five and each other.
- 11:58Speaker 1: That's great. Can you play football? We'll find out training camp.
- 12:02Speaker 1: I guess um. Hey, the Jaguars are future focused and
- 12:05Speaker 1: ready for a new look in joined us in the

- 13:10Speaker 1: they're off officially Wednesday and Thursday and Friday. Historically, the
- 13:14Speaker 1: tenth and final O t A is a you know,
- 13:16Speaker 1: toss up, who knows what they're gonna go through bowling
- 13:19Speaker 1: or paintball or you know, or have the day off
- 13:23Speaker 1: or come work or you know. We've seen it all
- 13:26Speaker 1: over the years here John So, Um, you know, considering
- 13:30Speaker 1: what happened today with the injuries, UM, do you do
- 13:32Speaker 1: you expect a change maybe in the tone or no,
- 13:36Speaker 1: just play not really, I mean the tone. It does
- 13:39Speaker 1: go to show you injuries can happen in whatever environment
- 13:44Speaker 1: there is. There's gonna be some non contact injuries. You
- 13:46Speaker 1: have to face that. I don't know that there's anything
- 13:49Speaker 1: to change because I don't know that they've been doing
- 13:50Speaker 1: anything wrong. Uh, It's just sort of part of when
- 13:55Speaker 1: big human beings run around fast. Uh, there's things that happen.
- 14:03Speaker 1: They aren't good because you have bodies going probably faster
- 14:05Speaker 1: than they're really made to go. So I don't see
- 14:10Speaker 1: them changing anything. I don't see them certainly ratching it up.
- 14:15Speaker 1: And but you can't panic over. This is part of
- 14:17Speaker 1: the deal, absolutely, And I don't like you could say,
- 14:20Speaker 1: like lower the intensity, but I don't know that the
- 14:22Speaker 1: intensity needs to be lower. This has been a very
- 14:24Speaker 1: relaxed o t a session and very quiet and very professional.
- 14:29Speaker 1: I don't think it's a case where oh they're going
- 14:31Speaker 1: too fast, they're going too hard. This is probably the
- 14:33Speaker 1: most relaxed ot we've seen in years. Yeah, and Doug
- 14:36Speaker 1: Peterson has been on enough practice fields in the NFL
- 14:38Speaker 1: over the years where things like this have happened, and
- 14:41Speaker 1: you know, I hate to say it, but you've got
- 14:43Speaker 1: to move on to the next and keep the team
- 14:45Speaker 1: moving forward. As part of it, it appeared, I mean
- 14:48Speaker 1: it appeared from both of them that they're they appeared
- 14:52Speaker 1: to be knees. I don't know that at all, but
- 14:55Speaker 1: that's what it And every year, if if if you
- 14:58Speaker 1: go back through thirty two teams and O t A
- 15:00Speaker 1: guys who lose because you slip one way, you get
- 15:03Speaker 1: going one way, and you know it's it's uh, it's
- 15:06Speaker 1: a percentage game. You hope your percentages are such that
- 15:08Speaker 1: that you don't have that happen. All right. Schedule coming
