  Speaker 1: ever Bang. I'm JP Shadwick with the best of the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: week from Jaguars Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and our Jaguars
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel. The Jags meet the Detroit Lions at one
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: o'clock Saturday in pre season week two at Ford Field
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in downtown Detroit, Michigan. They also met the Lions on
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the practice field this week for two days in Alan Park,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the home of the Lions facility. A review of all
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that coming up. Let's start with the review of the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: preseason week one performance. Tony Boselli and I discussed right
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: tackle Anton Harrison and all the rookie performances in Dallas
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: last week on the Monday edition of Jaguars Happy Hour.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Let's rewind a little bit.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You touched on Anton Harrison and Pete and I talked
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: about it in the first hour just you're gonna have
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: obviously a much better answer and analysis on his performance.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But boy, those feet are no lying, Tony. He can
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: move around. That was as advertised.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Oh he's a great athlete.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's a fluid, fluid big man, And that was,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: you know, as advertised.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: JP. I think is the way I would say it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: What I also liked, I thought he was Now it
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: was just the first preseason game.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: He's playing against backups, but I thought he was more
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: physical in the run game as well. I liked it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I mean I thought he had a little get.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Off and he was trying to finish blocks. There's there's
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: urgency to him. I mean that was, you know, for
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: his first debut in a live action on the field.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: I thought that was very, very positive. Now there's some
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: things he needs to clean up in his sets that
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: he gets away with because he's such a great athlete
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: that a better player.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Is gonna put stress on him. I mean, there was
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: no stress for him in that game.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Dante Fowler is you know not
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: it was never a great pass rusher, and you know
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: he's older now, so you know, that wasn't a huge test.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: It was good to work against it. And some of
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: those younger guys that I couldn't even tell you their names.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: He's gonna be facing, you know, much better caliber player
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: when it counts.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: But with that set, he did his job.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Needs to clean up some stuff on the backside, got
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: you know how he hands the backside, especially on some
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: of those counter runs. But overall, if I was Phil Rauscher,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, Okay, like I saw it in practice,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I've seen it now in the game field. This kid
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: can play. And the one thing he can't do is
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: past blot. I mean, he is athletic and he's a guy.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's gonna play right this year, but I
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: mean he he could play left.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I mean that's what he didn't call him.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: He's that good of an athlete. And so that was
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: very positive.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Overall. I thought the line was fine.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: They you know, probably struggled in the run game a
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: little bit early, but they got it going and Travis
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: and Bigsby another positive performance for a young player.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But he has he does right and the way they
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: blocked it up on that big run was huge, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: he just bounced it out there and turned on the Jets.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah he has. You know, there's a third and one.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I'd like to see him maybe get the pad level
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a little low and and get underneath that defender and
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: maybe he could get that. You know, he was the
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: only needed a half yard would have got the first
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: down early in that game. You know, little things like that,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: but that's you know, that's nitpicky. So you look at
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: the rookies, that was positive, I thought really positive.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour Monday airs four to six pm on
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: ten ten xl a M, Jaguars dot Com, and the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Jaguars YouTube channel. Now to the Jaguars Lions practices this
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: week at the Lions facility in Allen Park, Michigan. We
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: begin with head coach Doug Peterson's expectations for the week
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of work and his Wednesday morning conversation with the media.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: We spoke when the when the preseason schedule came out.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: You know, we we both got on a phone called
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: each other and and uh, you know, expressed interest to
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: do a joint practice. And obviously for us getting out
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: of you know, Northeast Florida and one hundred degree temperatures
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: to come up here and and and again it's good
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: for you know, it's good for the team. But yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Dan and I we spoke and and you know, I
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: had I both agreed that we wanted to do this
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: and and kind of set the ground rules for the
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: next couple of days and and you know, we just
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: want to get some good solid work in and uh
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: and and you know, compete against each other thanks to
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: what they did last year offensively have added expected to
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: go with your test for.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Your defense next couple of days.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: And Saturday, Yeah, you know what this is. We're still preseason.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: We're still learning and evaluating. We're gonna practice a lot
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: of guys. You know, I don't I don't look back
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: to last year. I mean, they got us, obviously, and
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: it wasn't our best day. But this is a good
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: football team, you know, a one that you know, I
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: think is going to compete in the NFC and and
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: you know it's gonna be good for us these next
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: couple of days. If there's something about that game that
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: helped you guys, you know, come together and turn a corner, well,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: I mean other than the fact that you know, we
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: didn't play our best football and for whatever reason, just
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: there's moments throughout a course of an NFL year where
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: there's there's games, there's you know, uh, situations, it might
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: be could be an injury to your team, whatever it
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: might be.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: That the kind of.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Spurs a little bit inside of everybody, coaches and players,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: and and obviously that was a that was a moment
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: that wasn't our best and and uh we we seem
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: to kind of figure it out from there and and
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: and flip it, flip it around.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: After that, Yeah, said he's looking forward to seeing his
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: guys go up against your skill position players and his
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: guys against your D line. Are there any areas in
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: particular that vice versa you're kind of looking.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we've got a lot of young
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: secondary guys taking away the you know, like Tyson Campbell,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Darius Williams of starters. We've got some young young guys
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: in the secondary that that we want to see against
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: this this caliber receiving group that that Detroit has, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: and and sort of vice versa that way, And you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: obviously up front, you know, we we know how you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: the big guys are going to compete again, just our
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: offensive line against their D line and vice versa. I mean,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: those are all those are all things we want to see.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, you know, we're trying to
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: get better. This is week two of the preseason, you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: for both teams, and and we're just trying to get
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: better and improve and and you know it's still a
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: long way before Week one.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: The Jags and Lions worked in full pads against each
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: other Wednesday, and a few times there were some minor
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: skirmishes between the teams. Kay Stevens, John Oser, and Brian
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Sexton reviewed on jags Am Thursday.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: It was definitely Chippier and Jeff Logaman talking about the
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: How to lot Spot podcast yesterday. I thought maybe it
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: was a little overdone on the Lions part. I kind
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: of got a little bit of that sense the Jaguars,
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: to me, Brian, seemed yesterday when the Lions were sort
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: of pushing and shoving, it was more of, Okay, let's
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: stop this.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: We have work to do.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: I don't know what's right, what's wrong. I don't think
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: anything was a big deal yesterday in terms of, you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: I don't think these teams are gonna have any built
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: up resentment from yesterday. I start it sort of spoke
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: to two different approaches, and the jag was really aren't
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: a big fight team in practice with themselves, so I
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: didn't expect it to carry over to another opponent.
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: It was an early hit I forget which linebacker was
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: for the Lions that took traves etn all the way
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: to the ground in an early session where they were
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: completely live. That kind of jump started it and got
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: the fire lit. But I watched his Brandon Sheriff in particular,
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: went over and it's not okay, guys, we're all pros
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: here trying to get to the regular season healthy. Let's
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: not let this get out of control. I mean, he
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: of all people, got in the middle, five time pro bowler,
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: got a lot of credibility and calmed it down just
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: a little bit. I was watching almost exclusively Anton Harrison
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: against Aiden Hutchinson, and then I would flip to the
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: other field and watch Josh and Trayvon against the offensive
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: tackles for the Lions, and not a lot of fighting there,
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: although I think Aiden Hutchinson at one point wanted two.
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna hold off on that because it's part of
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: my will.
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: He won't.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: He might.
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: Anton Harrison was extraordinarily physical with him and kept him
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: from getting any We're near Trevor Lawrence. It was really
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: good to see, and I.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: Think what you want to see is in these things
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: is that competitive fire.
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: But you don't want it to get out of control, right.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: You don't want these crazy fights that sometimes you see
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: in other camps where it's it's not a market discipline, right,
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: It's not a nice game. You're gonna have some of that.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: We're talking to Walk a little afterward. He said, you're
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: almost disappointed a little bit if there's not something like that,
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: and you kind of expected. He as, they disappointed, But
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: that was the feel I got of It's going to
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: happen when it happens, as long as it doesn't escalate
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: into something where they're, you know, throwing helmets and rolling
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: off the field. I don't think anything. I think anybody
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: look back at it as a very big deal.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Jags am is now on Jaguars dot Com and the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Jags YouTube channel each Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I caught
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: up with a few Jaguars players after the first day
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of work, including tight end Evan Ingram, who enjoyed that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: work against a different group.
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: It was really different in the best way possible. Great
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: work against a great team team that you know, we're
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: kind of in the same boat. You know, we shock
• 8:59
  Speaker 10: some people. Year kind of got going towards the end.
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: Both teams got going towards the end, and so for
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: us to come out here and compete with each other,
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: iron sharpers, iron and things got a little chippy. That's
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: we love it. We's gotta be smart and continue to work.
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: But it was definitely a great day of work, chippy.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: But not over the edge, right, I mean there's a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: fine line.
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you definitely just protect your guys obviously, but between
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: the whistles, that's that's kind of our mentality. Let's do
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: all our talking, let's do all our work, let's do
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: all our fighting between the whistles, and after the whistle,
• 9:27
  Speaker 10: you know, just protect your teammates and you know, don't
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: don't throw any punches.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Week two preseason. So where is this offense right now?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Are you guys getting closer to what you would call
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: week one?
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Ready?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And when will you know that?
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: I mean, our mentality is, you know, if we had
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: to wake up and play tomorrow, we're gonna get ready
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: to go. Still, some things we got cleaned up, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: I think at this point it's getting to really technical things,
• 9:50
  Speaker 10: small things that are in our control.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I think we're protecting the.
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: Ball a lot better, we're playing faster, we're making plays
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: when it comes. Just but this is a little thing
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: like lining up right, we'll falling off sides or false
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: star or whatever. Formation shit, Like just a lot of
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: the little technical things that we can take control of
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: that's what we got to improve, and you know we're
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: gonna keep building on that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: It's a time of year for that though. I mean
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: they filled with thirteen penalties in the first preseason game.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I know you're out there for what nine plays or something,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: but still this is that time of year. But some
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: coaching tape never hurts.
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you live and you learn.
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: We just gotta make sure we don't live as much
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: in that world and we learn from ouray sakes the
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: first time and we keep it clean the rest of
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: the way.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Marvin's on the other side, now, how about that?
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah, man, I'm happy for him. A great, great guy,
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: great teammate, great pro helped us a lot last year,
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: made a lot of big plays for us, and he's
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: still still one of the most reliable receivers in the
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: NFL and can go up and make a big play
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: whenever you need him to. So I know he's been
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: up here before, so this is kind of home, kind
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: of a home for him, and I'm definitely happy for
• 10:52
  Speaker 10: him and wish him nothing but the best.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, A couple times on the right side of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the line with Aiden Hutchinson across from you, So getting
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to block him. Young, good strong play.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: In this league.
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that literally, that's that's the opportunity for
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: us to get better playing it, going against practicing against
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: a guy like that, A hungry guy, real real smart player,
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: and he's as advertised, real strong, fires off the ball,
• 11:14
  Speaker 10: real smart, real savvy. I mean it's it's a great
• 11:17
  Speaker 10: opportunity for a tight end room to get to go
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: up against him and get work with him. And and
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: he's leaning the room now and he's got the rest
• 11:22
  Speaker 10: of those guys ready to so great opportunity for us.
• 11:25
  Speaker 10: You know, today definitely in pads, and then tomorrow it'll
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: be we'll be out of pass but still we'll try
• 11:30
  Speaker 10: to compete.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Last thought to that point. Last week, the tight ends
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: had a big blocking day against Dallas. I felt like
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Farrell was big, big Beak's big run. Both those guys
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: on the right side him and Strange put guys in
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: their back. I mean, that's that's physicality from this Roe man.
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: That's that's our standard.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: That's what we wanted to be.
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: You know now I feel like I got to catch
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: up to those guys in the run game. Those guys
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: are you know, they're putting great tape out there. They're
• 11:52
  Speaker 10: they're getting real physical. They're putting their nose in the
• 11:55
  Speaker 10: run game and they're dumping guys or putting guys on
• 11:57
  Speaker 10: the ground, they're finishing blocks. So you know, I think
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: I'm learning something from the young guys in that department.
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: Now I'm trying to match their intensity in the run game.
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: And but it starts for rich he's doing. He's doing
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: a great job with those guys. Yeah, you have really
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: young room, so you know, getting getting them right kind of.
• 12:13
  Speaker 10: It starts with mentality and then the technical stuff comes
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: into play, and the guy's been doing a great job.
• 12:17

  Speaker 1: After Thursday's practice against the Lions, defensive lineman Adam Goatzis
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: gave us an idea of how it went against Detroit
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and much more.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's always good, you know, anytime you're on the field,
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: it's a chance to compete, whether it's against your own
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: guys or you know another team, and you know to
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: be out here. I get those different looks. Like you said,
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: it gets you ready for the season. You know, you
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: can be going against you guys a lot, so you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: it's always good to go against another offense. And these
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: guys had a hell of a year last year. They
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: bring it to us, so it's come out here today
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: and go against that and you know, see it all
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: again and get some get back. And you know, it
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: was fun.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: We see there's some chippiness, but that kind of happens,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: right you get two up and coming teams together. But
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: there's a fine line between chippy and going over the edge.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I think you guys kind of held that held that line. Yeah, definitely.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, we all professionals out here, we all know
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: what it is and we're all here to compete. I
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: think when you take it a bit past that, then
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: you're doing an injustice to your team on both sides
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: of the ball, you know, on on our side and
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: on their team. You know, if you're going to go
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: outside of playing the game, it just affects your team
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: at the end of the day. So you know, we
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: were we were pretty level headed and we kept it
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: pretty composed. So it was good. It was just fun
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: to come out here. And compete two more weeks of preseason.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: What do you personally want to show these next two Yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: I definitely want to show that I can elevate my game.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: You know, I've been a pretty consistent player the last
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: couple of years, and I'm trying to, you know, elevate
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: my game in the pass rush and the run defense
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: and show that I can be a force on the
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: on the d line and keep making plays. You know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: I think my role is really being defined now and
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: it's doun the standout of what I can do to
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: help this team, and you know, just show how I
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: can help them and bring along the young guys, help
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: them get along, and yeah, just get ready for the season.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: It's a stout group up front, right, I Mean, there's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a bunch of guys up front on this team. So
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I mean that's where it begins on defense, that defensive line,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the interior, all that everything goes together from this defense, right.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, one hundred percent. I Mean we prought ourselves on
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: being one of the best in the country, and you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: I think with the guys we got up front, the
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: camaraderie we have between each other, and just the way
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: we can pat every day. You know, there's no reason
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: why we can't be so you know, I think you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: you look across that board, We've got all the tools
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: to be there. So we just got to do it,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: you know, put it together and compete and keep working.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Jag Warri's quarterback Trevor Lawrence, also spoke with the media
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: after Thursday's practice and he is excited for what the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: team accomplished this week.
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: I think it's great in some ways. I think it's
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: better because you get to really, you know, hand pick
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: the situations you do and get to get all that
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: work in. Like it's hard in preseason you don't know
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: which situations are gonna come up, how much you're gonna play,
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: all that stuff. But out here, you know you can
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: kind of protect yourself a little bit, but also get
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: the work in, get a lot of players, get a
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: lot of different situations work. So that's that's really good.
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: So I thought it was a good week for us,
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: just situationally to go against another team, another defense. You know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: we've been seeing our defense all camp, go against another
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: squad where we haven't really seen some of their stuff
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: and get to just work that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I think it's been.
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: Good for us for ever to these a couple of
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: days meet your expectations.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: It was great.
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: I thought it was really, Like I was just saying,
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: I thought it was really competitive. You see, you see
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: it coming out of both teams, and I thought it,
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: you know, it's good. That's that's how this game is played.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: It's played with a lot of energy and passion. And
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: it's cool to see us, you know, going back and
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: forth and competing. So I think that was great. And
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: then we got some really good work in situationally and
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: threw kind of everything at us. And seeing a new defense,
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: I think that's good for us too. You know, we've
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: seen our defense now for two and a half three weeks,
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: and it was good to see a new new team,
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: new looks, new presentations, different personnel, all those things.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I think it was really good for us as a competitor.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: You just you like the Yeah, I like it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: It makes it fun. And then obviously with Chauncey over there,
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: you get plenty of that, you get a lot of
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: doses of the of the talking.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: So it was fine.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: I think, like I said, it was really intense, didn't
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: really cross the line too many times, you know, I
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: think that's the big thing is you still want to
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: protect each other. This isn't these aren't games, you know, everyone,
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: everyone is trying to get to the fall where these
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: where the games mean something. And I think that's the
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: big thing to keep in mind is you want to
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: be healthy. So I think we took care of each other.
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: We got a lot of good work in, but the
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: competitive competitiveness was there, and I think that's the big thing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: A few Jaguars were banged up in Wednesday's first practice
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: against the Lions, including tackle Josh Wells who could miss
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: some time, defensive tackle fully Photo Cassi, who will be
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: weak to week but could be back for Week one,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and rookie safety Antonio Johnson, who suffered a hamstring injury.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman and I discussed Johnson and what he could
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: bring when healthy, plus what the Jags defense might miss
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: without him. It was all on Jaguars Happy Hour Thursday afternoon.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: You know, this brings us to the Jaguars secondary conversation.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Going against some of these wide receivers the last couple
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: of days. We know what Tyson can can do. He
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: missed a little bit last week in the concussion protocol.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: He's back out there. Of course. Darius Williams on the outside.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: But the question mark going into last week's game that
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: has been a question that Doug Peterson once answered by
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: week one is that third corner spot nickel corner, who's
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: kind of the next guy up at corner. And one
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: of the names that he listed last week in our
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: pregame conversation was the rookie Antonio Johnson out of Texas
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: A and M. And I'll be honest with you, I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: missed this yesterday. I missed him leaving for Yeah, he
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: was out, but he was out today and it's a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: hamstring issue. And that's a blow for a rookie who
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: was really starting to make strides.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: In that category. He was And I saw him and
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: yesterday's practice rubbing his right hamstring and probably gonna miss
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: some time. And I will say this, I think he
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: might be the steal of the draft for the Jaguars.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the guy that was drafted in
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the fifth round. I mean fifth round. And when you
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: talk to the code is at the early part of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: training camp and used to start asking questions and say, hey,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: you know who's starting to stand out and you're not
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: trying to lead him in any particular direction. You're you're
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: kind of trying to feel out where they want to go.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I asked that question of like three different coaches and
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: two of the more special teams coaches, because those are
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: the guys you first want to have the conversation with,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: because look, the reality is a lot of roster spots
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that are up up for grabs right now. That's the
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: first consideration that's taken into account. So I always talk
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: to those special teams guys, and then you start to
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: talk to the different position coaches. And when I started
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: asking him about you know, who's the guy that's standing out,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Antonio Johnson was the first name that came up, right,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: So so I'm like, all right, you know, I got
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to start watching him a little closer. Well, at that point,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: there was no pads on. Some I'm like, well, how
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: in the world can you have that strong of an
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: opinion about a guy that hasn't even put the pads
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: on when he's of safety size defensive back. And then
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the pads go on. The first
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: game is played in Dallas, and I'm watching the film
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and I'm going wow, wow, I mean, play after play
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: after play, you're watching Antonio Johnson and he's doing things
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: that you just don't see normal guys do. He's fast,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: he's athletic, he can play gunner on punt team. He
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: can block gunners on punt return. He is around the
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: ball all the time. He's effortless, he's physical. I mean,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: there's nothing not to like about Antonio Johnson's eyes. So
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I started asking the question, there's gotta be something wrong
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: with him, right, I mean, he's psycho. Okay, he's not smart.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I mean there's gotta be something right that that knocked
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: him down to the fifth round. And so I actually
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: asked Trent Balkey to das It's like, why was he
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: available in the fifth round? And Trent said, look, he goes.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: We had a second round grade on him, second third
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: round grade on him. I said, all right, so tell
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: me the truth. I mean, is he psycho? Is he?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Is he is? He not smart? He goes? No, He's
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: got great character. He has all of the things that
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: are you want out a player upstairs. I mean, he
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: was just a guy that was a safety that unless
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: safeties make a ton of plays on balls like Andre
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Cisco at Syracuse right, a lot of intercept tremendous ball
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: skills making the play on the ball. Unless you're a
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: safety that has those numbers, you can get overlooked, and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: he got overlooked. But there's no overlooking this young man.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be the steal of the
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: draft when you factor in what his draft position is.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Hopefully he doesn't miss miss too much time because as
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: we've seen in the past with not just with the Jaguars,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: but you see this with other teams, when young players
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: miss a lot of time early, it has a significant
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: impact on their ability to perform.
