Speaker 1: Sullivan and J. P. Shadrack. Jaguars Reporters presented by t
0:23
Speaker 1: I A A Bank starts right now. Welcome into the
0:27
Speaker 1: Jaguars Reporters podcast. It's Monday, July. J P. Shadrick, Brian Sexton,
0:33
Speaker 1: Ashland Sullivan training camp is underway. In the crowd roared, Yeah,
0:41
Speaker 1: it was an awesome day, I thought so. I thought
0:44
Speaker 1: the setting is cool. I think it's pretty it's different.
0:47
Speaker 1: You're off campus of sorts. You're on their campus, Episcopal School,
0:52
Speaker 1: um technically their campus, their athletic campus, Newfield. You get
0:56
Speaker 1: to get away from the building for a couple of hours.
0:59
Speaker 1: I didn't mind it. I tell you what, those high
1:00
Speaker 1: schoolers have it real nice that those are high school
1:04
Speaker 1: football fields. That is. Yeah. You may have heard Episcopal
1:08
Speaker 1: is a pretty good school. Yeah. Um, for me, it
1:13
Speaker 1: was a flashback. It was the first time they've held
1:16
Speaker 1: training camp off site since the first training camp back
1:22
Speaker 1: when we went to Steven's Point, Wisconsin. Um, so that
1:25
Speaker 1: was a little odd, you know, just to to not
1:27
Speaker 1: be around. I mean, they've done them on the south
1:28
Speaker 1: side of the stadium, right, and then they've moved to
1:30
Speaker 1: the north side of the stadium in two thousand three,
1:32
Speaker 1: and so you know, we were going over to the
1:35
Speaker 1: old Radisson River Walk, you know, the old hotel over there,
1:38
Speaker 1: and I mean, so it's always kind of been, you know, moving,
1:40
Speaker 1: it's never quite been the same, but it was interesting
1:43
Speaker 1: to be off campus, as you mentioned it. On campus,
1:46
Speaker 1: it used to be that way. It used to be
1:49
Speaker 1: that every team went away for training camp because it
1:51
Speaker 1: was a way to pick your team up and put
1:53
Speaker 1: them in an isolated spot where they had the film chemistry.
1:57
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not it's not that same thing here
1:59
Speaker 1: because you're you're in the same building and you've got
2:01
Speaker 1: meetings and you know, everybody uses their own facilities now.
2:04
Speaker 1: But it's it's got a little tinge of going away
2:06
Speaker 1: to camp, and uh, I'm sure Doug will find a
2:08
Speaker 1: way to use that to his best advantage. Yeah, I
2:10
Speaker 1: was just talking to coach Peterson in the hallway and
2:12
Speaker 1: we were joking, Oh, it's just like the cowboys in
2:14
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, right, It's the same thing. He's like, yeah,
2:16
Speaker 1: it's just a little more human, but yet the same concept.
2:19
Speaker 1: The practice field. To day you walked up to me.
2:21
Speaker 1: He was like, we should just build some dorms right
2:23
Speaker 1: here and just like not leave this site. You know
2:25
Speaker 1: from we went to the Falcons training camp. Uh was
2:29
Speaker 1: that twelve when you first got here, that was not
2:32
Speaker 1: Flowering Bank. Okay, so maybe that was two thousand, you
2:33
Speaker 1: know the Falcons and you'll see it when we're there
2:35
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. The Falcons actually have on
2:38
Speaker 1: their Flowery Branch their own dorms that they built for
2:43
Speaker 1: just exclusion training camp. Yeah, that's interest. The NFL is
2:46
Speaker 1: talking about using that if they ever ever European team
2:48
Speaker 1: that comes over here, to be a place for them
2:49
Speaker 1: to practice and stay. But yeah, they've done that. It
2:52
Speaker 1: worked for the Falcons. Let's hear from Doug Peterson thanking
2:55
Speaker 1: the folks in Episcopal I want to start by saying
2:58
Speaker 1: and just kind of thanking a skippoll for accommodating us
3:02
Speaker 1: over here. UM fields are in great shape. Our our
3:05
Speaker 1: grounds crew over the stadium did an outstanding job putting
3:08
Speaker 1: putting these fields together, Hamsa you know with the jaguars,
3:11
Speaker 1: um did a great job. A lot of work went into,
3:15
Speaker 1: you know, putting this grass down in these fields and
3:17
Speaker 1: preparation for camp and and uh, you know, we're excited
3:20
Speaker 1: to be here and um you know, looking forward to
3:23
Speaker 1: uh you know, spending the next few weeks over here
3:26
Speaker 1: to Piscopal, but but thanking them for for this opportunity
3:29
Speaker 1: and a little more about the logistics of getting back
3:31
Speaker 1: and forth from the stadium over to Episcopal one. You know,
3:35
Speaker 1: when you when you abide by the c b A
3:37
Speaker 1: and you got an eleven hour day and you got
3:38
Speaker 1: a factor in travel and all of that. It kind
3:40
Speaker 1: of it takes takes up either practice time, meeting time,
3:44
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you can do. So you gotta work out,
3:46
Speaker 1: you know, some of those kinks and and uh. But
3:49
Speaker 1: we had, you know, uh, a great team of guys.
3:52
Speaker 1: We we did a lot of a lot of research
3:55
Speaker 1: on it, a lot of study. We drove back and
3:57
Speaker 1: forth in the springtime just to see how far the
3:59
Speaker 1: drive was going to be and how long it was
4:00
Speaker 1: gonna take us. And we appreciate the the police department
4:04
Speaker 1: with you know, giving us some escorts and and and
4:06
Speaker 1: getting us through some red lights, and um that helps,
4:09
Speaker 1: you know, because it helps maximize the time on the field,
4:12
Speaker 1: and you know, and then and then just kind of
4:13
Speaker 1: seeing it all come together. It's been kind of fun
4:16
Speaker 1: this summer to kind of watch watch the progression of everything.
4:20
Speaker 1: Just under ten minutes. Just under ten minutes we got
4:23
Speaker 1: caught by one light, all right, so under ten minutes
4:25
Speaker 1: each way. I'm not a math major, but that's about
4:28
Speaker 1: twenty minutes a day on the road, all right, and
4:31
Speaker 1: it counts against the time. So they had really factor that. Yeah,
4:34
Speaker 1: they've got to make it all work. Um, it really Yeah.
4:39
Speaker 1: He just had a vibe today JP. Um. Of course
4:43
Speaker 1: every camp you can talk about being business like, but
4:45
Speaker 1: it was just so calm. You know. I wrote this
4:48
Speaker 1: for John that if on day one of training camp
4:51
Speaker 1: you have a story, and then you really have a
4:54
Speaker 1: story because something went wrong today. I mean, day one
4:56
Speaker 1: is is that normal? Hey? They got back at it.
4:58
Speaker 1: It was a normal day, was productive, it was business like,
5:02
Speaker 1: That's what it was. And I think a lot of
5:04
Speaker 1: that is interesting because you would expect there to be
5:07
Speaker 1: some fluctuations in the way that a team works and
5:11
Speaker 1: travels because it's not the way it has been all
5:13
Speaker 1: these years. So the fact that that's not even an
5:15
Speaker 1: issue says how how comfortable it is for these guys.
5:19
Speaker 1: And look, they're gonna be back here next year and
5:20
Speaker 1: then they'll never leave with the facility they're building and
5:22
Speaker 1: they'll have all the stands filled with fans. I mean,
5:24
Speaker 1: it'll be different this one year. It's going to be
5:27
Speaker 1: an interesting experiment for Doug Peterson. Yeah, no, you're right
5:30
Speaker 1: it it felt totally seamless. You didn't notice any hiccups.
5:33
Speaker 1: That has got a text asking you know, how did
5:35
Speaker 1: it go? Especially from a PR standpoint with the pressers
5:37
Speaker 1: and everything. I was like, everything went great. It felt
5:39
Speaker 1: like a normal day and normal business day, which goes
5:42
Speaker 1: to show I think the story lane, at least for
5:44
Speaker 1: me when I wrote it. For John was seeing James
5:46
Speaker 1: Robinson and traps et ten back together on the field,
5:49
Speaker 1: James Robinson participating on the side with an athletic trainer.
5:52
Speaker 1: It was the first time I had seen him sprint
5:55
Speaker 1: since his injury. Granted it was alone, you know, on
5:58
Speaker 1: the side of the field, but to see him have
6:00
Speaker 1: that explosiveness and be able to run as fast as
6:03
Speaker 1: he did, I thought was notable. And then Travis Etienne
6:06
Speaker 1: participating in seven on seven serving as at number one
6:09
Speaker 1: running back for now, it's a credit to both of
6:11
Speaker 1: them that nie of them had to be placed on
6:12
Speaker 1: pup that they both could be out there today. I
6:15
Speaker 1: think is yeah, yeah, it's a little first day out.
6:21
Speaker 1: It's what six seven months from the Achilles. You just
6:25
Speaker 1: don't know, You would think we'll we'll see him. Um,
6:29
Speaker 1: the Robinson thing, it's just Achilles is so for for
6:34
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle, even a quarterback, it's not as big
6:38
Speaker 1: a deal as it is for running back because of
6:40
Speaker 1: the explosiveness that a running back needs. So it isn't
6:43
Speaker 1: necessarily that I think that he won't be able to,
6:45
Speaker 1: but I want to see how he practices the next day, Right,
6:48
Speaker 1: is he able to go back to back days or
6:50
Speaker 1: does he have swelling? Did they have to manage it? Um?
6:53
Speaker 1: I still think he's a ways off. And then obviously
6:56
Speaker 1: you know if he's not ready for some reason, Yeah,
6:59
Speaker 1: not many other guys have played a lot of football
7:01
Speaker 1: in the running back room. Now. Yeah's interesting and it's
7:05
Speaker 1: a guy truerfully, you forget about because of the hold
7:08
Speaker 1: out he had with COVID for so long. But that
7:10
Speaker 1: was a guy that was a really serviceable back when
7:12
Speaker 1: he was here. And I think he has that experience,
7:14
Speaker 1: and it would assume to me that it's called Arms said,
7:16
Speaker 1: and then Snoop Conner. Yeah, Arms said, I remember him
7:20
Speaker 1: so vividly. He ran angry. Um. He's a big guy.
7:24
Speaker 1: And he looked good today again good being you're entrance
7:27
Speaker 1: and T shirt right. But he looked fluid, he looked athletic.
7:31
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't look like he was shaking off rust.
7:34
Speaker 1: He was ready to go. Um, it's gonna be by committee.
7:37
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have Fred Taylor. You don't have
7:39
Speaker 1: that guy right now. Maybe one of those other two
7:42
Speaker 1: guys proves to be you know, your horse, your thoroughbred
7:47
Speaker 1: in the backfield like Fred was. Um, although I probably
7:50
Speaker 1: shouldn't even say that in the same sentence because we're
7:52
Speaker 1: talking about a Hall of Famer and Fred, but a
7:53
Speaker 1: guy that that can be that explosive playmaker for you.
7:56
Speaker 1: We'll find out one other injury concerned that Doug Peterson
7:59
Speaker 1: brought up today, Devin Lloyd hamstring issue apparently in conditioning yesterday,
8:04
Speaker 1: and they're gonna take it easy with him. That's never
8:07
Speaker 1: a good thing. Yeah, it was a bummer, especially last week.
8:09
Speaker 1: Late last week we were out at his football camp
8:11
Speaker 1: and we were talking to me and you could just
8:13
Speaker 1: hear the genuine excitement in his voice. And this is
8:16
Speaker 1: a guy that's so easy to root for. You hope
8:18
Speaker 1: that it's just a little thing. Um, when you hear hamstring,
8:21
Speaker 1: you do worry though, especially going back to the Leonard
8:23
Speaker 1: for net days where those injuries, those hamstrings can really linger. Um.
8:28
Speaker 1: You don't want to assume right now, but yeah, not good. Well,
8:31
Speaker 1: it's we were talking about this on the field today.
8:35
Speaker 1: You know he could have had these guys in here
8:37
Speaker 1: last week. Doug could have had them in last week
8:39
Speaker 1: because you get fifteen days before your first game. They
8:41
Speaker 1: could have been here last two. So the Raiders have
8:43
Speaker 1: been in I think four or five year exactly. Um.
8:46
Speaker 1: I think it speaks to who Doug is and how
8:48
Speaker 1: he's handling this team. You know, all of his years
8:50
Speaker 1: both as a player and a coach. He knows what
8:53
Speaker 1: they need to get done. So he didn't push too hard.
8:57
Speaker 1: And if Devin Lloyd doesn't play for two or three weeks,
9:00
Speaker 1: because you just want to be sure I don't think
9:02
Speaker 1: Doug's gonna sweat that one at all. And hey, they
9:05
Speaker 1: expect him to be a major contributor this year, but
9:07
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna sweat it because they understand
9:10
Speaker 1: it isn't about what you do in August, right, It's
9:13
Speaker 1: about what you're able to do in September. And that's
9:15
Speaker 1: the way. And if this is a teeny Hampston, last
9:18
Speaker 1: thing you want to do is then put him on
9:19
Speaker 1: a should do next some point. Let's come back in
9:23
Speaker 1: a moment. We'll hear from the quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, who
9:26
Speaker 1: spoke today after practice. This is the Jaguars Reporters podcast.
9:33
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Jaguars Reporters podcasting. With the Jaguars
9:36
Speaker 1: season right around the corner, there's no better time to
9:39
Speaker 1: lock in your seats. For unsure where to sit, well,
9:43
Speaker 1: we've got you covered. Joined the Jags at the Bank
9:46
Speaker 1: Saturday August six from ten am to two pm and
9:51
Speaker 1: you can test out available inventory in person, and the
9:55
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and Trimont Ceremony will be playing live
9:57
Speaker 1: on the big boards as well. Visit Jaguars dot com,
10:00
Speaker 1: Slash my Seat and r s v P. Today that's
10:04
Speaker 1: pretty cool. If you want to watch it somewhere, come
10:06
Speaker 1: to the stadium, check out a seat. You know, camaraderie. Yeah,
10:10
Speaker 1: they there's an event coming up in the near future
10:13
Speaker 1: for the first time season ticket members, right, so that
10:17
Speaker 1: your first year on board. You know, they're bringing folks in. Um.
10:21
Speaker 1: They're they're being very aggressive and they've had to. But
10:25
Speaker 1: I think that those efforts are going to really pay
10:28
Speaker 1: off if this team does what I think it's capable
10:30
Speaker 1: of doing this year. Absolutely, they were back on the
10:35
Speaker 1: practice field today. Of course, short day. It's a ramp
10:37
Speaker 1: up period the new cb A. It's you can't even
10:40
Speaker 1: wear spider pads. Those are the really soft kind of
10:44
Speaker 1: shell things underneath. The first couple of days, can't even
10:46
Speaker 1: wear those weirdments though, the pads on top of the helmets.
10:50
Speaker 1: They're being super careful with that. I think they can
10:53
Speaker 1: put spider pads on Thursday Wednesday, I believe it was
10:56
Speaker 1: the first day they can actually do that, and then
10:59
Speaker 1: true shoulder pads go on Saturday, and then full pads
11:03
Speaker 1: go on Sunday for the first time. It's almost a
11:06
Speaker 1: full week. Sunday is the best day ever. I love
11:08
Speaker 1: first pad day versus D line and you're their front
11:11
Speaker 1: row and it's so exciting it's coming up. Did you
11:14
Speaker 1: be there? It's funny today we were standing at the
11:17
Speaker 1: far end and they split up to do seven on
11:19
Speaker 1: seven on one end of the field, and then the
11:21
Speaker 1: old line was on the We're like, there's nothing to
11:24
Speaker 1: watch here today. Down to the seven on seven. I
11:28
Speaker 1: was just just gonna stand there and well, and let's be honest,
11:30
Speaker 1: that's where the shade was. And if we're if we're
11:33
Speaker 1: gonna sing episcouple's praises for being so welcoming man shade
11:37
Speaker 1: on a practice field. That is a new idea around here,
11:42
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed it very much. Playing some trees out
11:44
Speaker 1: on the new field. We open them out here. Let's go. Yeah,
11:49
Speaker 1: let's put in a word or two. Let's hear from
11:51
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars quarterback, spoke after practice today what to
11:55
Speaker 1: expect the first week out? Yeah, Week one is just
11:58
Speaker 1: see the progress that we may and O T A S.
12:00
Speaker 1: And you know, we're like we're installing last night. We're
12:03
Speaker 1: not starting over. We should be picking back up where
12:05
Speaker 1: we left off. Everything that we're talking about, we're flying
12:07
Speaker 1: through because we've already installed it a couple of times.
12:09
Speaker 1: So having that knowledge and everyone can just pick up
12:12
Speaker 1: quick when we install, that's nice. And we can add
12:15
Speaker 1: new wrinkles faster because we've already done it, um. But
12:18
Speaker 1: also realizing it's it's a long season and day one,
12:21
Speaker 1: UM doesn't have to be your best day. UM, just
12:24
Speaker 1: to keep ability and getting better every day. And I
12:26
Speaker 1: think we have a lot of maturity on the team,
12:28
Speaker 1: which is which is good. People know that, and we're
12:32
Speaker 1: still getting our bodies ready as far as to go
12:35
Speaker 1: the long haul for the season. So I thought it
12:37
Speaker 1: was a great day to day. Coach did a great
12:38
Speaker 1: job laying out practice. There's a lot of work, enough
12:41
Speaker 1: work to get us ready, but not too much to
12:44
Speaker 1: where we can build and add some more tomorrow and
12:46
Speaker 1: the next day and then you know, by next week
12:48
Speaker 1: we'll be full speed. So I thought it was really
12:50
Speaker 1: good opening practice. Guys, look sharp, look ready. UM. So
12:53
Speaker 1: it's exciting you have a quarterback is ready and rolling
12:57
Speaker 1: and understands that process as well. It takes a little
12:59
Speaker 1: bit of time. Actually, yeah, I thought it was interesting. Um.
13:02
Speaker 1: He was asked about you know, if you had to
13:04
Speaker 1: pick one thing, what would it be to improve on,
13:06
Speaker 1: and he mentioned the turnovers, which is something he mentioned
13:08
Speaker 1: I think the very first day after the season ended,
13:10
Speaker 1: as I want to work on these turnovers. And we've
13:13
Speaker 1: heard Doug say before. You know, the next step for
13:15
Speaker 1: Trevor is eliminating that one bone head play a game.
13:19
Speaker 1: And I credit Trevor because he could put the blame
13:22
Speaker 1: on game situation or lack of offensive weapons, but it's
13:26
Speaker 1: him trying to almost do too much, and I'm curious
13:28
Speaker 1: see if that's something maybe he can work on during
13:30
Speaker 1: training camp. Has seventeen games of experience to look back
13:34
Speaker 1: on and to be able to identify perhaps that bone
13:37
Speaker 1: headed play that you mentioned in every single one. You know,
13:41
Speaker 1: this is a guy who has a to do list
13:45
Speaker 1: in his folder. Right, here's what I want to get
13:47
Speaker 1: done today, Here's what I want done this week. Here's
13:49
Speaker 1: what my goals are this year. He's that kind of
13:51
Speaker 1: a guy. So I just I really appreciated his approach. Heyes,
13:54
Speaker 1: day one, right, we're out here to get better for
13:57
Speaker 1: Day two, and then day three and day four and
14:00
Speaker 1: on into next week and get ready for that first game.
14:02
Speaker 1: It's amazing JP how much one season means to a
14:05
Speaker 1: young quarterback because last year was also new. He wasn't
14:09
Speaker 1: sure this year he was being a quarterback at this
14:11
Speaker 1: Remember that he's got that battle going on. He's got
14:16
Speaker 1: a template that's being shaped by a former quarterback in
14:18
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, and it's it's one of the reasons why
14:22
Speaker 1: I think this team is going to take a big
14:24
Speaker 1: step this year, not necessarily playoffs, but a big step
14:26
Speaker 1: this year is because this quarterback has last year to
14:29
Speaker 1: lean on and these guys Doug Peterson, Mike McCoy, you know,
14:33
Speaker 1: Press Taylor, Uh, Couter. I mean, they've got all these
14:37
Speaker 1: guys over here now who have been where he's been,
14:39
Speaker 1: and so he's got this template that he can lean one. Absolutely.
14:44
Speaker 1: What's the schedule this week on shows? Drivetime? Thursday? Yes,
14:48
Speaker 1: they'll have Thursday live from Episcopal. Will be on the
14:51
Speaker 1: practice field, which will be kind of cool. You'll see
14:53
Speaker 1: training camp in the background. That'll be a nice touch.
14:56
Speaker 1: But that's Thursday, and um, I think that's all we
14:58
Speaker 1: got show wise, a least this week. Yeah, we kinda
15:01
