  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a great fan experience, like
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: it's be intimate. I think, uh, I think it has
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: a chance to be really special. I think the team
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: did a great job of getting it ready. Give a
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: lot of credit to you know, Mark Lamping, Chad Johnson
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: and their crew of making sure the stadium was where
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: it needed me to play an NFL game.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: The grass looks great.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: To your grounds crew, man field looks great.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: First of all, It's funny because you don't appreciate what
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: you have a lot of times until you go somewhere else.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: We have one of the number one we have one
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: of the facilities in the NFL, and that's a big
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: thanks to Shad. We have one of the best grounds
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: crew around and what they do with our field on
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: a daily basis to make sure because I think takes
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: some I mean it took some heat.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I'm talking practice field. Now.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the game in a second and game field,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: but that takes a lot of wear and tear. You
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: got a bunch of guys going in the amount of
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: force that goes into and if you're ever here now,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: nobody sees it because everyone goes home except for us
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: who are here. In my office looks right outside and
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I watch these guys immediately when practice is over, it's
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: cleared out. We have a team of individuals going through
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: and fixing divots and repairing the field.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: They're out there during practice too, man.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Because they're out there during practice watching how the field
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: is playing. We have meetings on a regular basis talking
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: about the field condition, what we want to do, is
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: it too soft to firm, blah blah blah whatever. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: that team's led by Jeff de Luca, who's been here
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: a long time and know you know I'm Jeff than
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Brian is a outstanding leader of the He runs the
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: entire facilities here and it has several other responsibilities and
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: what his team does makes it you just appreciate. You
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: go to other places like, okay, nothing nothing wrong with
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: those other places, but the first class facility or field
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: that we're going to practice on, because that's what you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: we talk about the most important thing in this organization.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: And what happens in the grass. Well, if you believe
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that you better have a good grass, he better have
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: some good grass. And then you go over to the field.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Last year, you go around different you play in all
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: different states. We have one of the best natural surfaces
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: in the entire NFL. It's I mean, it is really
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: first class.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And we actually you know, we're not going to get
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: into that right now.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: That's a hint lugging.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I know what, You're going to stay where we are
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: now current.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Uh. The I'll say this, regardless of whatever the surface
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: ends up being in eight I will promise you this,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: we will have the best surface of the whatever decisions
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: made and there's a lot going into that, we'll have
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the best surface. It'll be There'll be no expense, that
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: is the expense in money. We're gonna make sure it
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: is the best for our uh, for the stadium, for
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the facility. We will make sure we invest in that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: We have one of the again one of the greatest
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: owners in professional sports who wants to make sure things
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: are done right. But you look at that playing field
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: last year and then you go over there today and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: right now and what they've done and uh, it's first class.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: So that's a long way of saying that I think
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be a great environment. The locker rooms, the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: training facility, everything ready. There's some minor changes in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: hallway of how we'll get on the field, nothing that
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: will impact anybody, Nothing that our fans will even notice
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: or see.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: How did they do it? Because you know, Tony, going
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: back a couple of months ago, there's cranes in the state.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: There is no field, there's nothing but equipment.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: There was a portal at at the fifty yards.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I mean there's a heavy duty crane in the middle
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: of the field that they move out of there to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: lay the grass down.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It's listen the way they engineer in uh stage.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: It is well planned, is planned daily for the next
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you know, it was a two and a half three
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: year project.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Every day's planned. Milestones need to be hit.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: You have to have contingency plans with some major rain
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: as everyone knows their day.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: That reveals some things. Okay, we got to patch some
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: things up in the stadium.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Elked when it was brand new.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: That's right, and so there's not under contody though.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And I think it was gosh, probably it was before
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: we went on breaks.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'd be uh, late June, late June, I think it was.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. It was late Junior was when we
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: got back. I think it was late June.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Jeff to Lucas, met James and I here at five am.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: This is a light test, light test.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: It went out there test the lights because our lights
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: are no longer on the top up of the stadium
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: because they're building the roof there. They are now in
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the upper deck and so put them in one time
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I thought when they'd be a little higher, went out
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: been tested.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: They did a great job.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And I think the coordination between Mark Lamping and his
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: team and us in.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: The foot because like, if you.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Think about what Mark and his team are trying to do,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: they're thinking about the whole picture fan engagement, fans, you
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: know Vanegator's last experience a construction project. Making sure we're
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: hitting the time frame because it needs to be ready
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: at the same time worrying about getting a stadium ready
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: in Orlando for.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Us in twenty twenty seven.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is a lot on everyone's plate at
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the same time. And this is what why, what we
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: strive for in this organization is is elite.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Communication working together. We're one team.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: There's not two organizations. It's not the business in the football.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: We are one organizations with different responsibilities within that organization.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: And what we really appreciate, myself, James and Liam is
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the coordination of working with us to make sure that
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: as a football team, everything is being done to make
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: sure we can go out and do our jobs as well.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: And that goes for how the stadium is, where the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: lights are, thinking through the nuances as you're trying to
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: manage this gigantic one point three or four whatever the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: billion dollar project is that by itself, now you have
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: to work with a bunch of idiots over thinking about
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: how to win football games. He's putting of you, Well,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: he's pointing at himself. I am pointing out myself, but
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: he would be included as an idiot playing football, you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: And we're not thinking about that. We're thinking about how
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: do we win football games? Because that's our job. And
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the coordination of working together and that goes all the
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: way to what we're going to be doing in twenty
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: twenty seven with Orlando and the coordination of that. So
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: it's a massive project. It's a lot of time people
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: that are ever going to get any credit that are
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes that make it possible. And I think
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: when our fans come Friday night tomorrow night to watch
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the preseason game and throughout the season, well, the outside
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: will look like a construction zone. There are cranes that
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: are going to be there. They will be working throughout
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the week to get our stadium ready for twenty twenty eight.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: And what and everyone says, man, that's a sacrifice. It
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: it's a small sacrifice to what we are going to
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: have in twenty twenty eight. Nothing in life comes without
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: some sacrifice.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Can't live too comfortable, you can't.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: So let's let's just embrace it. And but I think
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: when our fans come forty two thousand and change, it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: you are going to be on top of the field.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: It is going to be a great environment, and it's
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: our job now. And so Mark and that team have
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: done their job getting us to this point. Now It
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: is our job to go out and win football games
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: and put a great product on the field. And everything's
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: right there for so you know, don't drive by every
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: bank and say, man, it's a construction zone.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Are they open for business?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: We are open for business, and you will find out
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Friday Tomorrow night, Friday night against the Carolina Panthers, first
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: preseason game here. It's gonna be an amazing experience. There
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: might be a little bit dust, you might have to
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: walk around some stuff. You don't need to bring a
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: hard hat. You don't need that. But guess what, when
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: we walk into that stadium in twenty twenty eight, you
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: could be one of the forty two thousand people that says,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: you know what, I was there watching that team win
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: football games when they were building it, and now I'm
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: here in twenty twenty eight with one of the best
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: stadiums in the NFL.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Now you bring up hard hats, it takes me back
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: to nineteen ninety five and we had to wear hard
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: hats in and out of the stadium just to get
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: out to be able just about to say two exercises
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: in practice.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: You guys like me were here when it was built,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: when the trailers filled that entire parking lot. And now
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: to see the reimagination of it, I know twenty twenty eight,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: from my perspective, is going to be emotional to see
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: something now, it's.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Gonna be I remember in twenty In nineteen eighty five,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: we had four preseason game on the road. They were
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: scrambling to get ready for the home opener. Here.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: How many preseason games?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Five? Thank you. I didn't play in any of them.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I put it absolutely three. I played an absolute.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Zero can't in Miami Detroit, and then we came home
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: for the first one.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: We didn't play one against Saint Louis, no play two.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: And then the Broncos were here. The Broncos here that yere, Yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: we played both of them.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: You know, just forgot because you were doing it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I just remember the scramble to make sure it was
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: ready for that first list.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: There were there were pieces of plywood covering gaps in
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the wall where they were still working on things. It
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: was crazy. Let's take a break when we come back
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: with tucks and ball. Ye good, Tony Boselli's here. This
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: is JAG's HQB with Jeff Logeman and Tony Biselli and
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: you're listening on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Welcome back, jaggs. Age Cube continues right now.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But tomorrow night's game against the Carolina Panthers here at
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: EverBank Stadium of jackson Viility is presented by our friends
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: at Ticketmaster. They were the official ticket marketplace of the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. So I where to even begin news today?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Cole Van Lannon, Yeah, comes off the pup list. You
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: made the trade yesterday for Daniel fa Al sounds.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Good to me?
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: All right, good, don't ask him.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: So I did say that in a TV production meeting
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: earlier today. I said, well, Baselli said it was this.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They go, oh have you heard Biselli say this name?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: And I went, I didn't realize it was a problem.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Oh no, it's I wait to I famously wait till
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: like right for the game in practice, Like, okay, tell
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: me how we say this name, because I'm if I
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: try to remember, I need it right before we go
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: on air, and then I'll about about eighty five to
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: ninety percent I'll get it right, but there'll be those
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: ten to fifteen percent.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: No, mater, how many times you tell me I'm not
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: getting right?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So you got cole back. But he's back, he's off.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Pup you bring in and then the emergence of pregnant.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, there's some rais of light around
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: this offensive line, and I think most people had looked
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: like they were dark cloud.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think people like listen, was there tough moments
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: as far as getting through camp and practicing, because but listen,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: all these injuries outside of McCarry, who you know, I'm
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: not going to get into the timeline, but what was
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: reported he had a back procedure, he's gonna be out
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: for off camp. We have a decision to make it
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: cut down time of whether we put him on IR
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: or not, like a couple players, but those decisions typically
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: mean so everyone understands if you're put on IR to return,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: you can't return to.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: The fourth week. So simple math.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Are they going to get back before the fourth week
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: or after the fourth week? And so outside of mcarry
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: where listen, that is what it is that will take
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: its own course. And obviously we were counting on Patrick
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: to be a part of this offensive line. The rest
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: of these injuries were the nature of a week here,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: two weeks there, and so when you're working through it,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: in practice in camp it's hard.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean the other day we had a practice where.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: We just the ones, where we ran the ones and
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: manage the reps of the entire rest of the group
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: because we had to. That's how we had to do
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: to get through all the twoes played like seventy snaps
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: in the or sixty five how many snaps were in
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: that game against the New Orleans. But also we were
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: purposeful in the joint how we do that. The one
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: took the majority of the reps, and so this is
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: all part of a plan of planning and calculating of
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: how much how many reps do you want your guys
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: to get?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I think on the outside there was you know
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: this doom and gloom, oh my gosh if they have
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: an offensive line when they start in Cleveland. Inside we're saying, okay,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: we got to manage this properly. So we get ready
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: for week one and making sure we have our best
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: five and have the same opportunity though to identify who
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: are those best five when we want to kick it
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: off against Cleveland. So signing Daniel Filla is a we
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: thought it was the right.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Thing to do.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: It adds gives us more depth. He's a you know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I think we want to be a big powerful run
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Oh he's that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: He's a big man. He can he can move people.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I played it started for two straight years at the
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens, one of the best run teams in the NFL.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: So he's a big, powerful man. The Giants had drafted
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: a guy tenth overall from my tack of Miami, but
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: that he's really a guard NFL, so he won that job.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: So it was a perfect opportunity for us to take advantage.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Last year at this time, we did something similar with
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Tim Patrick in Detroit. They had a situation they drafted guys.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: That doesn't mean that not still a good player, but
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: we felt like Tim Patrick last year and I think
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: everyone saw how he helped us during the regular season.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: It's an opportunity to get better, and this is what
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: James does such an outstanding job at is in our
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: pro personnel department, constantly looking out there and understanding what's available,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: what are the opportunities, and how can we continue to
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: get better. A mistake would think coming into camp, your
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: team's your team until you cut down and maybe you
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: try to do something. The cutdowns well, number one, We're
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: gonna be pretty low on the claim in the claim
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: order because the last year's.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Record.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: At the same time, there are multiple opportunities to improve
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: your team throughout the season up to the trade deadline.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: We will use every one of.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Those opportunities to try to get better, and we felt
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: like it did that. Combined with Cole getting off the
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: pup list, he now can participate in practice. We will
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: still that doesn't mean he's getting thrown in there, but
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: now we can start preparing him because this is a
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: guy that didn't participate all of the offseason, hasn't done
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: anything in camp outside of work his tail off to
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: get back to this point and looks great in what
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: he can do off to the side and rehab, and
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: so now it's an opportunity to get the pads on
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: him to feel Jeff can will remember this, I remember
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: too fondly. Unfortunately, you come off in ACL and you're
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: doing all your rehab, you feel pretty good and you're like, man,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I'm ready to go. Then you put pads on and
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: get hit for the first time and you're like.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: A little different.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Oh my, I'm not ready yet. I got some work
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: So that's the next step for Colon and the way
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: he's approached it so far, very confident he's going to
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: do just fine, and looking forward to having him back
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: out there. I know he's excited to get back out
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: there with the guys, be a part of it. He's
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: obviously been in all the meetings. He's one of the
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: smartest offensive line and we have proven by last year,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: starting at four different positions throughout the year. So we're
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: excited to have Cole back and we're excited about the group.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: And I think if you go back to that Carolina joint,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: the five guys that we had in there left to right, Anton, Pregnt, Hainsey,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Ezra and Walker Little coming back. He was one of
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: those guys missed ten days because of an ankle, came back.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Man did We have a great training staff, medical staff,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: great performer science, our strength coach works in there with
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Eric Ciano. Came back full go and that group had
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: a awesome practice. They were dominant, they were physical. Were
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: they perfect by no means?
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: No.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I've never been a part of offensive line that had
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: a perfect game. We're perfect practice. There's stuff to clean up,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: we can get better, but they did what we want.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: They showed up who we want to be as a
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: football team that's tough, physical and getting after people. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: they did a heck of a job.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: If I was an alien and I knew football, but
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I didn't know any football here in the United States,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: and I just came down here and I watched some
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: of the game and practice film of your team, I'd
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: say Emmanuel Pregnant was your best offensive lineman. And watch
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: him practice so far, he's been so good and so consistent.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: And let me also throw some credit to Ezra because
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Ezra moved to the right side. He's had his best
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: week of practice yet in training camp.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: So I would argue, on what day is that? Yesterday?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I guess every day goes together.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: When we played the joint against Carolina yesterday, I think
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: all five were outstanding. We'll talk about Pregnant in a second.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I think Asuree is probably the best offensive lineman on
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: either field. The way he played and the physicality yesterday yesterday,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: and the finish and just the violence, the toughness. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: thought it was one of Walker Little's best practices at
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: right tackle.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: You know, he played left tackle last year against a
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: good player too, again, very good player.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: When I talk about zero pressure, zero leakage, physical in
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the run game. He had a very good day. You know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Hainsey veteran. You can feel him coming his leadership. Outside
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: of the last play of a team period before the
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: two minute where Anton got laid off the snap because
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: he didn't hear the snapcount, he had an outstanding day.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: And so those are the four veterans we'll talk about
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: pregnant second, and none of them were perfect, but what
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: they were were more physical than our opponent. And we
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: talked about this a lot when you talk about offensive
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: line play, be more physical, more violent, tougher both physically
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: and monthly. Covers up for a lot of sins. It
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: covers up a lot if you're just nastier and tougher
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: and more determined and just say I'm going to get
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the last touch.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: That covers up a lot.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Of things in this league. And that's what that group did.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And talk about pregnant.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Can we got to get a break in that.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Sure, I got one more segment with you, right, yeah,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: all right, when we come back, we're going to talk
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: about the rookie left guard from or Emmanuel Pregnan. This
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: is Jags HQ with Tony Piselli and Jeff Logoman. Then
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: you're listening on jag War's radio.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Welcome back jags HQ continues right now.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Welco about jags h Q, Tony Piselli, Jeff Logoman.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: We promised when we went to break that we'd come
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: back and talk about Emmanuel Pregnant, a guy that Jeff
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: says if he was an alien, sometimes we wonder he
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: might be. Yeah, sometimes we wonder he would think he
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: was your best offensive lineman. Tony, I stopped you before
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the break, go.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get into who's the best, because I
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: think that's the wrong conversation where you talk about offensive line.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Really what you're trying to figure out who's your best
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: five that worked together?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Because having one.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Great offensive lineman, you could have the greatest human playing
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: offensive lineman. If you have four stiffs that can't do anything,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna have success. And so it's really how
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: do you can you put together an engineer a group
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: that works together and compliments each other to do what
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: you want to do. And I think Emmanuel's had a
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: very good camp camp and he is he is a
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: guy who cares a lot about being very good at
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: what he does, and that's playing football. He about for
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: a young guy. You know, he is learning how to
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: take care of his body. He had he had it
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: coming in. He had a very good process of how
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: he learns and how he digests the information to make
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: sure that he is performing at a high level. And
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: then the third thing that none of us can coach
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: and none of us can do anything about. He was
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: built in a way that is just different. He has
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: a strength and a power and in the size to
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: move another human against their will. So I mean, I
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: don't know, I don't know how to say, but he
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: has that gift.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: So let me just jump in real real quick there
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: because we're doing Liam for a serious XM satellite radio
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: show the other day. And he called him a man
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: with man, which is Emmanuel E M A. And and
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: the first thing and then what I heard instead of
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: emmanual man was he man.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: He might have some of those tendencies.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: It was a movie this summer.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was like a car, a car cartoon cartoon.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: He man, right, I mean, that's perfect name for him.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I man, And I think he's uh, he's still learning.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: And it was like great, he had a rep. He
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: had a lot of really good reps. But he had
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: a rep against Derek Brown. All pro givens tackle and
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Derek kind of got shut.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Him at the end.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: It's a great learning of how to use leverage and
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: and because now you're blocking another man who's very just.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: As strong as big as you, so how to use leverage.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: So you just can't overpower every single person just by
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: pure strength. You have to understand leverage and angles. And
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: he's learning all that as expected. But what he does
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: have is he's he's a high care factor. He's very
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: competitive and he's tough and strong and physical. And the
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: other thing is in past protection because of his length
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: and his size and his hand strength. When he gets
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: his hands on you, it's over.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: The rep is over. There's nothing left to do.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: So if you don't like now, perfect example we saw
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: he started running the ones. We do a lot of
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: one on one in camp. He had a rep we
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: had to kick out to Josh eins Allen. Well, Josh's
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: a savvyvett. He's like, I'm not going to go right
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: down the middle of this guy. He handswiped him, got
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: the edge and would have got a sack. That's a
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: great learning experience free man, Hey, understand who you're playing against,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: understand their thinking, they understand you as well. Maybe you
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: could have late hands because you're so strong you don't
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: have to show first. And these are all little things
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: that he will continue to learn. But we're really excited
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: about him and what he's doing. And I think more
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: than anything is his approach how important it is because
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day, our coaches can coach
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: them up, and our coaches are detailed, and they work
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of hours and they prepare and they meet
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: one on one of these players. But the reality is
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: you have to have guys who care, who want to
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: be good. And he Man's showing up so far and
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: done a great job, and he'll listen. He's gonna have
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: his ups and downs as a rookie.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: We all do. I did you get into the NFL.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: You learn guys that you play against their vets and
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: they have tricks to the trade that you just haven't
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: seen yet, and you kind of figure it as you go,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: and you have good vets on your team, and we
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: have good vets that he's gonna go against, like Eric
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Armstead and Matt Dickerson and you know, Tray von who's
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: reduces to the three and he's seeing a lot of
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: different things right now. Well that the volume of learning
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: is just gonna continue as we play different players in
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: different teams and he's in different situations. But we have
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of confidence and and right now he's competing
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: to be one of the best five and he's doing
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: a great job.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's fun to watch just because he finishes
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: really well.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Well, if you want to watch a guy like I listen,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe don't people enjoy this, but I enjoy watching another
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: human impose their will and move somebody where they don't
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: want to go.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: He got he got to.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I mean that is like enjoyable film watching.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: He got two KOs in this past in the past
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: game against the Saints too, and one on a kickout
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: where he just buried the line and then his left
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: tackle to his left I don't remember Christian Christians blocking
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: a guy and he kind of helps with the center
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: on the defensive tackle and then sees this guy starting
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: to show up to the inside of Christian and he
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: just turns around and just blows him off.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, he loves football. He loves football.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: But I mean I think a lot of our guys,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: our young players, are all of them are really progressing
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: and going through the bumps and bruises and the and
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: you know, I say grind of camp. I feel like
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: weird saying that because the grind.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Is so much different than it used to be.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: But it's still You're in camp a team of grind.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: You're still working against the same guys. You're still being
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: taxed men at a high level of all the install
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and all the volume of stuff that is coming at you.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Especially for a new guy, that's that's different. And you're
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: learning how to play against these grown men that you know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: been doing it for a long time. So it is, uh,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: it's a learning experience, and our guys are doing a
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: good job.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I know you got to go.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Did you think when you came in here we would
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: just dominate the conversation with offensive.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Mind it I knew when I was doing this by myself,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I said, I know what we're talking about today, we're
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: talking about offensive line.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: What will we talk about when you don't come in
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: and James.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Does oh he loves offensive line play too. Well, here
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: It works out great. I know you've got a dinner
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: to go. Looking forward, tomorrow night. It's gonna be fun
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: to see our guys go out there and compete. And
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: next week's a big week for us as well. You've
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: got UH two joints with UH Tampa and that would
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: be fun.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just imagine there'll be some fired up people today.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: They go a little bit spunky.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's gonna be fun being Advantages got signed, which
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: I'm happy because it gives a great look for our guys.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, what a test to go block one of
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: the better one techniques in football. We also can bump
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: out to a three. He has some pass rush to
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: him and power. He's a fun player, one of the
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: better ones in the NFL, and we.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: Get to line up against him. Or might that not
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: be kind?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: You could?
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to see a big man go out
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: it too with him. And don't don't discount Era the
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: way he's playing right now the last week and what
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: he did on the field.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: He ain't gonna back down from anybody.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's gonna be fun. And they're not gonna
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: back down either. And Todd Bowles is coming in. They're
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: gonna blitz a lot. It's gonna be a great test
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: for Trevor and our skill guys and our backs picking
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: up the blitz and so. And then you go on
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: the other side of the ball. You got Baker Mayfield,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: who's one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL, and
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: they got a bunch of young receivers, and they got
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: one of the best left tackles in football. So you
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: talk about a great test for Josh and trayvaugh going
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: against one of the best Attrician worst, one of the
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: best left tackles in football. I mean, this is this
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: is how you get better. You want the best against
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: the best. So I'm glad that these guys are coming
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: in and we'll be tested as a team.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And because all we're trying to do right now.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Is get ready for the most important game in the
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: history of the franchise, and that's the Cleveland Browns.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I love it when you say it like that, Tony Boselli,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Thanks for jumping all right, guys, Jaggs HQ and we're
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: back Jeff and I after this on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: Welcome back Jaggs HQ continues right now, we're.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Back on Jags HQ.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Brian Section along with Jeff Logoman, Tony Biselli is on
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: his way out the door. Jeff, we talked about We
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: talked about the Aufkins blind, let's be honest, but we
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: touched on the value of the joint practices. We've seen
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: one against the Saints, one against the Panthers, and next
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: week we'll see two against the Buccaneers. Would you have
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: liked to have seen more of that in your playing career?
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, just because and we had some of it in mind.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I remember we used to go and practice with the
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Redskins and Carlisle Pennsylvania, I believe it was, and that
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: happened once a year. That was kind of an annual
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: tradition between the two organizations at that time. And what
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: I loved about it was that, look, when you go
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: day in and day out facing the same guy, you're
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: not getting any better at using different moves and different
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: techniques and learning how to take different traits that an
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: offensive lineman might have and so and the intensity is
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: not the same. Look. Biselli and I used to be
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: in practice going against each other. We had this little signal,
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Okay and Coffin never even knew about it. So I
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: would take two fingers and just just wipe them across
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: my chest, and that meant, let's make it sound really
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: good and look really good, and we're not coming off hard. Okay,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: it's the brother in law deal, right, And so we
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: had many practices that look that two finger went across
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: the chest a lot. But when you go against another team,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: there's no brother in law deals. You know, it's competition
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: at its best. And also for your quarterback, you're you're
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: getting him to practice in a controlled environment, seeing different schemes,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: different speeds than the speed is game speed, and you
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: can't simulate that in practice when you're doing it with
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: your own guys, you just can't because the competition doesn't
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: ratchet up that high. You can have all the mamba
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: periods you want, Okay, which mamba Pierri's by the way,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: which is Liam Cohnees's version of offense versus defense, good
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: versus good, they keep score, there's a winner. It's not
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: the same still, and I will guarantee you that the
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: joint practices next week will also have another layer of
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: competitiveness to it, because we're talking about Tampa and Liam
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: not exactly a friendly, friendly departure. And you've got you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: some coaches were plucked from that staff.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: There's going to be a very.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Very strong competitive nature between the coach and staff as
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: well next week, which is going to make next week see.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: So much fun. Can't wait. One of those two is
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: open to the public. Can't wait to see that as well.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: We'll take a break. Come back more with Jeff Loghman,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Hero Jags HQ after this on Jaguars Radio.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: Welcome back Jaggs. Ahes Qube continues right.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Now, Jeff, we got to get an injury report in here,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: brought to you by UF Health. UF Health is the
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: official healthcare provider of your Jacksonville Jaguars. Let me just
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: run some names by you, tell me what you know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: what you think two offensive linemen, Shuma Adoga and Wyatt
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Mileam are There's no injury report at this time of year,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: but there are two guys who have not been practicing since.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's anything significant with either one of
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: those guys. Hopefully see him next week.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Lequin Allen is out for the rest of training camp
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: and Parker Washington is thought to be able to come
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: back next week.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: Both of those called soft tissue.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Injuries, which could mean a lot of things.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: The first thing I think of is hamstring, because you
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: know how those things will slow you down. Could be
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: a calf, could be hamstring, could be a number of
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: different y.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and hopefully it's nothing that's of any you know.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: The one thing you don't want is to be able
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: to come out of the preseason with a player of
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: like Parker Washington or anybody for that matter, is to
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: have something that's gonna nag you all season long. You'd
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: like to be able to kind of just deal with
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: it now and put it away for good, so it's
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: not a factor of the rest of the year.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Give twenty four days until the start of the regular
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: season and bring Parker back next week.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Then I was talking to one of the rookies last week.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: He was dealing with a little injury, and he's like, yeah,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna try to play him Like man, I said,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: here's the reality. If you play with this injury that's
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: nagging you, okay, you're not going to play as well
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: as you should. And I said, that's not going to
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: help you make the team, you know, So you got
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: to get that stuff kind of behind you and then
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: you can play your best.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: There's probably not a player out there that's not dealing
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: with something at this point.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, everybody deals with something. I mean, that's just
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: the reality of football, and football hurts.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Football your living testament to this. You were just talking
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: about your shoulder. If I had a whiteboard in here
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: right now. You remember when Vic Ketchman used to do
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: this show with him, Yeah, I know, and he used
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: to be able to go to the whiteboard and explain
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: his pain, right, I bet you could do the exact
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: same thing.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Well, it is what it is.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, football is a game of the mentally tough
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: because injuries are part of it. And the reality is
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: is that in the modern NFL you don't have all
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: the aids that we used to have back in the
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: day to help you play.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: I think i've heard that. Is that twurtle.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: The modern medicine.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they've changed it, they had changed it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: It's a little different.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and somehow yet guys find a way to get
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: out there and play. And these exos best that they
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: wear that tracks every rep and the stress level on them.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: It's not like it used to be.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: It Strategic is the best word for the way that
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: they work guys in training camp.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Well, and look Tony had just got done talking about
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: the staff that they have here when it comes to
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: getting everybody right. Jeff Fergie person's got a staff, and
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Robbie fantastic and Cassie and and all the trainers and
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: the doctors that they have, and the sports science people,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: the sports nutrition people. This is top of the line stuff.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: And I only wish that we had that same level
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: back in the day, because I mean back in the
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: day that was just it was in the infancy stages
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: of development.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Are they still using leeches? Just kidding?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Medisine had come on, Let's take a break when we
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: come back. What we're talking about the tight ends, right,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the young tight ends are starting to show themselves and
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: we want to talk about them with Jeff Logoman. This
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: is jags HQ and we're back right after this some
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: of the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Welcome back. Jaggs HQ continues right now.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Pushing our way towards the top of the hour in
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: the conclusion of this show, jags HQ and the Jaguars
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Radio Network Tomorrow, Oh, we will have network coverage starting
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: at six thirty Eastern Time with countdown to kickoff, and
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: then Jeff and Frank will have the radio broadcast for
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: you at seven thirty Eastern time. Bucky Brooks and I
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: will be on the television broadcast on Fox thirty in Jacksonville,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: and you can find all sorts of other stations around
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: the southeast where you can find us on Jaguars dot
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: com a couple other you know, random thoughts that come
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: to mind from watching yesterday. The tight ends Nate Porkatcher
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: and Tanner cooziole second and fifth round picks both look
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: like they're starting to it's probably too strong, but get
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: it like, sort of feel it.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's the best tight end
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: room that the Jaguars have had.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: In its history.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: And you said that early in training.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Care I do I believe it? And what I mean
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: by that, First of all, the tight end has evolved
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: through the years too, and its level of importance and
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: involvement in the game plans, and also the type of
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: players that play the pizzosition. You know, back in the day,
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: you'd have, you know, maybe a guy that was more
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: like an offensive tackle, the Kyle Brady's, the Mercedes Lewis
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: and they.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Were together in two thousand and six, which I was
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: going to say is probably the only competitor in terms
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: of quality of player, but not nearly the same.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: The reality is is that both those guys were a
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: little limited as receivers. The tight end of today, George Kittle,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: is the model. I mean, he is the epitome of
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: what every coach wants to have. Okay, Evan Ingram is
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: nice to have, but he's not what you want to
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: have because he doesn't instill fear in defensive coordinator's minds
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: about being a blocker.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: And Evan Ingram is brought to mind for people who
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: are listening because he had one hundred and fourteen receptions
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: one year and.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: They treated him like a wide receiver. Yeah, okay, what
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: you want to have as an offensive coordinator and what
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Liam wants and why it was a priority in the draft.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: He wants to have tight ends the defensive coordinators respect
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: as received and as blockers. Then it puts defensive coordinators
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: in a little bit of a pickle. How am I
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: going to treat this twelve personnel which is one back
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: and two tight ends, or thirteen personnel which is one
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: back and three tight ends and one wide receiver. The
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: number that's always left out is wide receivers. And you
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: got to remember that it all adds up to five. Okay,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: so I it's thirteen one back, three tight ends, one wide receiver. Okay,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: eleven one back, one tight end, three wide receivers.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: And the rage now in the NFL is multiple tight
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: ends on the field because it gives them some such
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: flexibility to call plays. But at the same time, it
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: really restricts what defenses can do from a personnel standpoint.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Are they going to match you with a pass defense personnel,
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: then you can run it. They match you with a
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: run front, then you can throw it because you have
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: tight ends that can block and they can catch It's
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: it's the Sean McVay, Liam Conway, and it's an important
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: part to this football team. And I think from Brenton
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Strange to Borkershire, who is a very good blocker and
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: also very good receiver, but doesn't have a lot of
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: opportunities and that's kind of unknown.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: That's the interesting part.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: When I asked Tony after the draft about Borcachi goes, look,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I watched everything on him, and I watched their biggest game,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: and it was their Notre Dame game. He said, for
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: fifty nine minutes and fifty seconds they didn't target him.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: But when the game was on the line. He caught
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: everything they threw it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: At him, and he catches everything, and he smoothed, and
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: he's got the ability to catch in traffic. And then
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Colzial we obviously know you had mentioned earlier about his stats,
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: which you know, the first and catches in the NCAA
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: second every second in yards or some tight ends first
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: and second in yards in reception. We're really good, really
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: good player, you know, and he needs to work on
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: some of his blocking technique and all that kind of stuff.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: But I mean, but look, let's also go all the
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: way down to quint Morris, one of the course special
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: teams players and also one of the best blocking tight
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: ends they have on the rock.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Did he not have a critical block on the goal
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: line last year against the Chargers? They've freed up room
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: to get into the end zone for Travis.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: I believe he crushed gosh, he crushed the defensive end
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: outside linebacker for the Chargers long time. I think he
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: crushed them, crushed them. So it's a really good group,
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: a really good group. And if I'm Richard Angulo, I'm
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: thrilled to coach that group because I think it's a
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: it's an exceptional.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Group, their ability to stretch.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: By the way, they're gonna they're gonna cut a couple guys. Okay,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: that are They're gonna.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Go uh Justin Herbert, by the way, may tremendous progress.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: His younger brother who played with him at Oregon.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: He's had a he's had a really good camp, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: so Hunter Long in the last week has had a
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: really good camp. A little bit slow start, but this
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: past week, his play in the game in New Orleans
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: and his practice this week, he's been really good. So
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: somebody's not gonna make it. I mean, I'm guessing Hunter
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Long and Herbert probably won't make it, just from a
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: number standpoint, but they're good players.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: So all these good players behind Brenton Strange. What does
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: this do for number eighty five?
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: It allows him to be the h guy, So it
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: allows him to be the off the ball tight end,
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: which he's gonna have a ton more targets as a
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: receiver this year. But then also he's one of the
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: best blocking tight ends in the league. I put him
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: up there. You know, if you're talking about the George
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Kittle types, George Kittle is at the top. Okay, he's
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: up there. I think Brenton Strange along the lines of
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: that type of player. He's the next guy that you
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: would put on the list.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: And he's gonna have a ton more targets because the matchups.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, is he going to get a linebacker instead
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: of safety?
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you almost have to because he's he
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: can block.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: And and here's one of the funnest things to watch
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: him practice is and a lot of times I'm down
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: there with the one on ones with the offensive and
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: defensive lineman. But while that's going on, they also have
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: one on ones going on with the corners and the
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: wide receivers and then also the safeties and the linebackers
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: against tight ends and running backs. Antonio Johnson and Breton
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Strange go against each other almost all the time in
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: that one on one drill because the old saying iron
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: sharpens iron.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Those two guys love it because they know they're they're
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: making each other better and they're both really good for them.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: They both play with great energy.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Really, I just can't say that enough about the way
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Antonio and Johnson was flying all over the field. Let's
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: take our final break. We'll come back more with Jeff
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Logoman here on JAG's HQ, and you're listening to Jaguars Radio.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: Welcome back Jaggs HQ, who continues right now.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Final three or four minutes of the program. Don't forget
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: this Friday night. The Jaguars are kicking things off at
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, and the game is presented by
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: our friends at Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster is the official ticket marketplace
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Seven thirty kick for those of
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: you on the network, six thirty for countdown to kick off.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: For those of you in Jacksonville listening to flagship radio station,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: we'll get things started at four thirty. My Dempsey and
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Austin Lane and myself. It's a busy time of year,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: but a fun time of year as we get started
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: towards the start of the regular season twenty four days away.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: What's the biggest question mark you have about this team
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: that you'd like to see Answers four from Carolina and
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Tampa joint practices and games.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean the biggest question after the week in
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: New Orleans was the offensive line, right, and I think
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: that that starts take shape. It's not settled, but it's
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: taking shape. And now you got another guy that you're
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: adding to the mix, and you're getting Van Lannon back.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: So I think that's going to do nothing but help.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's a ton of questions. But the
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: biggest question to my mind, or in my mind, would
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: be what's the role of Travis Hunter going to be good?
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: One?
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: And it is, you know, because you want to make
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: sure that it's best for the team.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: This is what happens when all you talk about is
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: offensive line. Will you forget Travis Hunter?
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Well, and look, I mean I think he's the best corner,
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: but at the same token, you know, you you want
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: to play him on offense too because he's a significant
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: player over there. So I just think it's going to
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: be really and here's the reality. Also, you don't want
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: to ever make what Travis Hunter is going to be
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: more important than team goals, right, you know? So it
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: was to fit within the goals of the team. And
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to be interesting to see how
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: that plays out and how he can best help the team.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Well, just to push that a little bit, I was
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: told by a coach last year that after a game,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: when Liam talked to him about, Hey, we wanted to
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: do this.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: We wanted to do this, we didn't get it done.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: He goes coach. We want, right, I mean, we want
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: don't worry about that he's a team first guy.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't worry about that part of
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: it from him, and that he would put himself over
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: the team, because I think that's what has made him
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: so special everywhere that he's been so far. But you know,
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: what does that look like from the Jacksonville Jaguar standpoint?
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: You know what's best for the team, what's the what's
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: the best way to use him? And and I don't
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know the answer to that.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: You know, And to remind me again, did you think
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: he would come in and be more impactful as a
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: receiver or a corner.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: I thought initially that he should play wide receiver, can
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: touch the ball more. He's got amazing natural body control,
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: he's got speed, he's got great ball skills. I mean,
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: he's got everything. And the reality is is that there's
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: some teams and other people that are in personnel business
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: they thought the opposite. Yeah, you know, and I don't
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: know the answer to that, Brian, But I just know
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: that whatever you want to allow him to do make
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: sure that you allow him to be at.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: His best well, and that's what they say they're going
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: to do. We will not see him until the Cleveland
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: game in the regular season, so plenty of time to
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: continue the conversation.
• 43:29
