Speaker 1: twenty ninth, and plenty coming up from the first four
0:22
Speaker 1: days of Jaguars training camp at the Miller Electric Center.
0:25
Speaker 1: Let's begin with head coach Doug Peterson on the first
0:28
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show of the twenty twenty three season on
0:31
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network on Thursday evening. Jeff Logoman and
0:35
Speaker 1: I talked with Peterson about how the team builds on
0:38
Speaker 1: the success of last season.
0:40
Speaker 2: Your two is big that way, both offensively, defensively, and
0:42
Speaker 2: even on special teams to be able to pick up
0:45
Speaker 2: and sort of plug our players back in. It's kind
0:47
Speaker 2: of my messaging to the team the other night was just, guys,
0:50
Speaker 2: you know, we gotta nderstand, we gotta hit the reset
0:52
Speaker 2: button and we're starting over, and we're we're we're doing
0:55
Speaker 2: things differently from the standpoint of that and understand that,
1:00
Speaker 2: you know, what we did last year is great, but
1:02
Speaker 2: that's over and we haven't done anything. Yet this year
1:04
Speaker 2: we're we're zero and zero sitting here and we continue,
1:08
Speaker 2: we must continue to put in the hard work and
1:10
Speaker 2: preparation to prepare for the regular season.
1:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, hard work, preparation is never shorted. But one thing
1:15
Speaker 3: that is new for your football team this year, you
1:17
Speaker 3: have some new components. Calvin Ridley, Brenton Strange to Tank Bigsby.
1:22
Speaker 3: I mean, these are components of your offense that are
1:24
Speaker 3: going to be new and quite frankly, I'm excited to
1:27
Speaker 3: watch him play.
1:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are too as a staff. And and you know,
1:31
Speaker 2: Calvin brings a level of energy, a level of an excitement,
1:35
Speaker 2: enthusiasm and his route running he's a long strider. He
1:38
Speaker 2: can cover some ground in a hurry. And and you know,
1:41
Speaker 2: you can just see the the the readiness by Calvin.
1:46
Speaker 2: He's so hungry to get back out on the football
1:48
Speaker 2: field from the time that he's missed and and just
1:51
Speaker 2: so appreciative of the opportunity to play football again. And
1:55
Speaker 2: and you know, Christians in a great spot and Zay
1:57
Speaker 2: and having Evan back now and in training camp and
1:59
Speaker 2: getting him getting him locked up for a few more
2:01
Speaker 2: years is tremendous offensively, And you know, you look at
2:05
Speaker 2: Brenton Strange, you look at Tank, you look at something,
2:07
Speaker 2: you look at Anton. You look at these guys now
2:09
Speaker 2: as we put them in with that first unit a
2:11
Speaker 2: little bit, uh, just seeing their athleticism, seeing what they
2:14
Speaker 2: can bring, you know, to our offense.
2:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, to your point about Calvin the first practice, if
2:20
Speaker 1: he stands out like that in NFL practice like this,
2:23
Speaker 1: other players are like, WHOA, Okay, that's a that's a
2:26
Speaker 1: different level of.
2:27
Speaker 3: Skill it is.
2:28
Speaker 2: And and what I like about Calvin number one, it's
2:31
Speaker 2: his it's his way. He approaches every single day. Every
2:33
Speaker 2: day is a new day, but every day is a
2:35
Speaker 2: day to get better. And and he again, he appreciates
2:38
Speaker 2: every moment he gets to practice with his teammates. And
2:41
Speaker 2: that's something I think that some guys take for granted
2:44
Speaker 2: until the until football is taken away from them. And
2:46
Speaker 2: that's what's happened to Calvin. And we're just so excited
2:50
Speaker 2: to get to get him in the mix and and
2:51
Speaker 2: really to see where he can he can fit and
2:53
Speaker 2: kind of plug and play with our system and how
2:56
Speaker 2: well like he and Christian can work, you know, in
2:58
Speaker 2: tandem together. He and Zay can work, can tandem together
3:01
Speaker 2: with combination routes and all that, but big asset to
3:04
Speaker 2: our offense.
3:05
Speaker 3: On the defensive side of the ball. I'm sure that
3:07
Speaker 3: you and your staff evaluated that extremely closely, like most
3:11
Speaker 3: staffs do postseason analysis. As part of that analysis, what
3:15
Speaker 3: did you find and where do you want to go
3:17
Speaker 3: with your defense this year?
3:19
Speaker 2: You know, the biggest thing I think that we came
3:21
Speaker 2: away with is is you know, base defense versus sub defense, right,
3:25
Speaker 2: the five man looks versus the four man looks, and
3:29
Speaker 2: this is a passing league and being able to get
3:31
Speaker 2: your best players on the football field at any given time,
3:35
Speaker 2: especially the pass rush. I think that's where we can
3:38
Speaker 2: make big strides this offseason and are really going into
3:41
Speaker 2: the training camp is in the pass rush. And that
3:43
Speaker 2: was an area that we studied last year. And even
3:46
Speaker 2: though we're like a thirty four base defense on base,
3:50
Speaker 2: you know we're gonna we're gonna. I think one of
3:51
Speaker 2: the things you're going to see is a little more
3:53
Speaker 2: for man and forour man fronts, You're going to see
3:54
Speaker 2: more of the pass rush stuff because you get in
3:57
Speaker 2: those second long scenarios around the league and that becomes
3:59
Speaker 2: a a high passing you know situation down in distance
4:03
Speaker 2: for teams and and so being able to do that
4:05
Speaker 2: and combinations of guys and you know, Trayvon Walker, you know,
4:10
Speaker 2: learning learning how to to you know, put different moves together,
4:14
Speaker 2: you know, going into a second year, being able to
4:16
Speaker 2: watch all of his tape from last year and and
4:18
Speaker 2: learn from that. Josh Allen comes back, he looks a
4:20
Speaker 2: little bigger, a little thicker and being able to you know,
4:24
Speaker 2: press the pocket, and you know, I look at you know,
4:27
Speaker 2: with DeVaughn and Roy Photicasi. I mean, these guys are
4:31
Speaker 2: all guys that can they can really play the interior
4:33
Speaker 2: spots and play it well. But those are areas that
4:37
Speaker 2: we looked at, even on the back end with combinations
4:40
Speaker 2: in the secondary, possibly playing more three safety, you know,
4:44
Speaker 2: maybe even three corner whoever that might be, and and
4:47
Speaker 2: providing more depth, you know, on defense. But those are
4:50
Speaker 2: all areas that we studied a little bit situationally. Got
4:53
Speaker 2: to get better in the red zone, got to get
4:54
Speaker 2: better on third down from a year ago, so we
4:55
Speaker 2: understand that as well.
4:57
Speaker 1: The full archive of the Doug Peterson Show available on
4:59
Speaker 1: the Official Jaguars Podcast Network. Let's move to the quarterback,
5:04
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence centers his third NFL season, his second training
5:08
Speaker 1: camp in this offensive scheme, Where are.
5:11
Speaker 4: You guys in terms of getting that offense molted to what.
5:14
Speaker 2: You want to do with.
5:16
Speaker 4: What fits you best and how you like it?
5:18
Speaker 5: Do you guys still have a lot more work to
5:19
Speaker 5: do with that or you kind of did you get
5:20
Speaker 5: most atime spring?
5:22
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's it's kind of always evolving.
5:24
Speaker 6: You know, you try to you know who you are
5:27
Speaker 6: and you know what you're good at, and I think
5:28
Speaker 6: we learned a lot of that last year, especially with
5:31
Speaker 6: the guys that we have, including myself. You know what
5:33
Speaker 6: we do best and what we're really good at. But
5:35
Speaker 6: you also have to keep getting better and keep evolving
5:37
Speaker 6: and you have to add new wrinkles. So I think
5:39
Speaker 6: it's always changing. But you know what your bread and
5:41
Speaker 6: butter is. You know what you're good at, and you
5:42
Speaker 6: find different ways to continue to do that and to
5:46
Speaker 6: maybe make it look different or have different guys doing
5:48
Speaker 6: similar things. Whatever it is. You just you kind of
5:52
Speaker 6: mix it up, but you also try to get better
5:54
Speaker 6: and try to introduce new things. So there's a there's
5:55
Speaker 6: a balance of that, and that's kind of what training
5:57
Speaker 6: camps for it's not about you know, of course wanna
6:00
Speaker 6: we want our beat. We want to beat our defense
6:02
Speaker 6: every rep. But really we're just installing stuff and we're
6:04
Speaker 6: trying to run these plays against every different look you
6:06
Speaker 6: could see, so we're not necessarily game planning and putting
6:09
Speaker 6: in all right, this is the play we want specifically
6:12
Speaker 6: for this guy. We want everybody to do everything. Let's
6:14
Speaker 6: see what they can do and find who's who's best
6:16
Speaker 6: at what.
6:17
Speaker 4: Had a few months to kind of fill out Calvin
6:19
Speaker 4: and get to know him, but he still has some
6:21
Speaker 4: prize catches out there, does he ever? While you still
6:23
Speaker 4: or are you kind of past the wow factor just
6:26
Speaker 4: with what.
6:26
Speaker 7: You could do?
6:28
Speaker 6: No, he's still he's still is impressive. I mean just
6:30
Speaker 6: watching him the way he runs, there's not many guys
6:33
Speaker 6: like that, especially in and out of his breaks, and
6:35
Speaker 6: you know, he's just really crafty, obviously great ball skills
6:37
Speaker 6: and then just you haven't even seen it yet because
6:39
Speaker 6: we're not in pads and we're not full contact, but
6:42
Speaker 6: I think after the catch he's really really good too.
6:44
Speaker 6: So and and you know in spring we were still
6:47
Speaker 6: kind of working them in so we didn't get you know,
6:48
Speaker 6: a ton of reps So now that we're camp, we're
6:50
Speaker 6: full go. I'm excited just to continue to build on that.
6:53
Speaker 6: He's gonna fit in really well with with that group,
6:56
Speaker 6: you know, with Za and Ag and Christian and Evan
6:58
Speaker 6: and all the other receivers. Gonna fit in great.
7:01
Speaker 1: What's important here before the pads go on for the offense?
7:03
Speaker 8: What what's what do you want to you know, get accomplished.
7:07
Speaker 6: I mean, the mindset doesn't change. We're still just trying
7:10
Speaker 6: to be clean. I think from the from the huddle
7:13
Speaker 6: to the snap to you know, all the way through
7:15
Speaker 6: the all the way through the play is just how
7:16
Speaker 6: how consistent, how clean can we be? You know, formationally,
7:20
Speaker 6: have everyone going in the right spot, communicating different looks.
7:23
Speaker 6: I mean, even though we don't have pads on, we're
7:24
Speaker 6: still gonna get a lot of good reps against our defense.
7:26
Speaker 6: It's not full contact, but still those reps are really valuable.
7:30
Speaker 6: So we'll have a lot of days without pads. So
7:31
Speaker 6: you're just learning how to practice that way and how
7:33
Speaker 6: to get the most out of it. And I think
7:35
Speaker 6: for as a quarterback, you're always looking for that timing
7:37
Speaker 6: with all your guys and what like. We talked about
7:39
Speaker 6: all the different routes that they might run, and during
7:41
Speaker 6: the season, yeah, that might dwindle down a little bit
7:44
Speaker 6: and we might get more specific on each guy. But
7:46
Speaker 6: you try to get a feel for all the guys
7:48
Speaker 6: and all the different routes and how they're gonna run them,
7:49
Speaker 6: how you're gonna throw them, what they're gonna do versus
7:52
Speaker 6: different coverages. And our defense does a really good job
7:54
Speaker 6: of mixing it up, so we have to we have
7:56
Speaker 6: to learn how to address all the issues that could
7:58
Speaker 6: show up versus different looks and coverages and matchups. So
8:01
Speaker 6: I think it's been really good for us and it's
8:02
Speaker 6: going to continue to be good for us.
8:04
Speaker 1: Trevor has looked sharp early in camp, thanks in part
8:07
Speaker 1: to a deep wide receiver room. Calvin Ridley, of course,
8:10
Speaker 1: enters the mix this year, and he has gained the
8:13
Speaker 1: attention of most everyone at THEMEC with his route running, Christmas,
8:18
Speaker 1: his stop and startability, and overall demeanor. The challenge for
8:22
Speaker 1: Lawrence who gets the football wide receiver Christian Kirk told
8:26
Speaker 1: me this week how that wide receiver room manages it.
8:28
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, we said it last year. It's check
8:30
Speaker 9: your ego in at the door, and that's got to
8:32
Speaker 9: be the key. If you're gonna have players like this,
8:35
Speaker 9: it's gonna you know, everybody needs to get their own
8:38
Speaker 9: and you know, when that happens, that's how you win
8:40
Speaker 9: football games. You know, one person's not gonna win you
8:43
Speaker 9: a football game. There may be times where, yeah, one
8:45
Speaker 9: guy's gonna get relied on and you know he's gonna
8:47
Speaker 9: carry us towards that way. But you know, when we
8:48
Speaker 9: get into the playoffs and we get into the nitty
8:50
Speaker 9: gritty and you know, adversity starts to strike, we need everybody.
8:54
Speaker 9: So you know, as a unit, you know, we need
8:55
Speaker 9: to operate that way and just kind of buy into
8:57
Speaker 9: what we're doing and keep our long term goal.
9:00
Speaker 7: So.
9:00
Speaker 1: I don't know how much NFL Network or ESPN you watch,
9:04
Speaker 1: or any of the preseason hype shows or any of that,
9:07
Speaker 1: but most of those you watch, the Jaguars are the
9:10
Speaker 1: favorites to win the AFC South. Do you guys buy
9:13
Speaker 1: into that? Do you worry about that stuff? Is there
9:16
Speaker 1: added pressure with that being the hunted team instead of
9:20
Speaker 1: the team that's up and coming like you were last year?
9:23
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I think the only apprehension to it is,
9:26
Speaker 9: you know, guys looking into that and listening to that,
9:30
Speaker 9: you know, because last year we weren't even in the conversation.
9:33
Speaker 9: We were still in the conversation as being one of
9:35
Speaker 9: the worst teams in the NFL. And so I remember
9:38
Speaker 9: that feeling. I know all the other guys remember that feeling,
9:40
Speaker 9: and you know, the motivation, the edge that we had
9:43
Speaker 9: to get to the point to where we need to
9:44
Speaker 9: be and we can't lose that. You know, Doug said
9:47
Speaker 9: it best yesterday in our team meeting. He said, you know,
9:50
Speaker 9: greatness isn't about what you did, It's about what you're
9:52
Speaker 9: going to do. And you know, we can't listen to
9:55
Speaker 9: the noise. And when we win a couple of games
9:57
Speaker 9: this season, nobody's gonna stand up and cheer allow for
9:59
Speaker 9: us to say that's what they're supposed to do. And
10:01
Speaker 9: so we just got to go out there and you know,
10:03
Speaker 9: manage expectations and you know, control our energy and what
10:06
Speaker 9: we do.
10:07
Speaker 1: The full conversation with Christian Kirk available on the Official
10:10
Speaker 1: Jaguars podcast network. And Yes, the Jaguars have receivers that
10:14
Speaker 1: can steal the show, but also a running game. Travis
10:19
Speaker 1: etn Junior put together a great season in twenty twenty two,
10:23
Speaker 1: and he's ready to get better.
10:24
Speaker 8: This off season was great for me personally because I
10:26
Speaker 8: was able to work on my game. I was able
10:29
Speaker 8: to just work out with the guys and just be
10:32
Speaker 8: more intoun with the team instead of just working on
10:33
Speaker 8: my way to get back and just being ready for
10:36
Speaker 8: the season.
10:37
Speaker 5: Takes me so far. What's it been like kind of
10:39
Speaker 5: forming that one two punch.
10:41
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of the tank.
10:42
Speaker 8: I feel like I just love his grind.
10:43
Speaker 3: I love his grit.
10:44
Speaker 8: I feel like he's very hungry and that's what I
10:45
Speaker 8: love about him, and just seeing his willings to get
10:48
Speaker 8: better each and every days. He's a rookie, he's like
10:51
Speaker 8: doing a scheme like I've been there, so I'm seeing
10:53
Speaker 8: where he's going and where he's coming, and just his
10:56
Speaker 8: women's are come in.
10:56
Speaker 1: Every day and learn.
10:57
Speaker 8: I feel like I love that about him, and that's why
10:59
Speaker 8: you're going to say a lot of rote for him early.
11:01
Speaker 10: It's a relationship like between him and you and the
11:03
Speaker 10: other running backs in the running back round.
11:05
Speaker 8: I feel like this year our restue was really well.
11:07
Speaker 8: I feel like everybody is here for one reason, that's
11:09
Speaker 8: to win football games. And now I'm like, that's gonna
11:11
Speaker 8: go a long way. There's no light jealousy within the room.
11:14
Speaker 8: Everybody's here room for each other and we all helping
11:16
Speaker 8: each other to get better.
11:17

11:26
Speaker 8: knowing what my office in linement are doing, playing to
11:28
Speaker 8: play out and just having those reps and just having
11:30

13:22
Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman and I talked through the building of the
13:24
Speaker 1: offense around Trevor Lawrence.
13:26
Speaker 3: I had a conversation with Press Taylor and the OTAs
13:29
Speaker 3: about that very topic and about where you can go
13:32
Speaker 3: with the offense in year two, and he just said,
13:34
Speaker 3: it's amazing how many things that we didn't do last
13:38
Speaker 3: year just because we did want to add too much
13:41
Speaker 3: to the plate, so to speak, of all the players
13:44
Speaker 3: in the offense. And he goes in, especially when you
13:46
Speaker 3: have a young quarterback, he said, though, but now that
13:48
Speaker 3: you're year in, year two in the system, he said,
13:51
Speaker 3: there's a lot of situations to where you can allow
13:53
Speaker 3: that quarterback to change plays 'or get into better formations
13:58
Speaker 3: to be to have that flexibility to put you in
14:01
Speaker 3: the best position that you possibly can be in. And
14:05
Speaker 3: people are trying to think of something that could be
14:08
Speaker 3: maybe draw parallel to think of Peyton Manning, Okay, and
14:11
Speaker 3: what he was able to do at the line of scrims. Now,
14:13
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be maybe to that
14:15
Speaker 3: extent because Peyton had been around for a long time
14:18
Speaker 3: there at the end where we would watch him do
14:19
Speaker 3: whatever he wanted to do. But things like that where
14:23
Speaker 3: Trevor can have the ability to change plays and then
14:27
Speaker 3: also maybe adjust routes on the fly, which last year
14:30
Speaker 3: he had no ability to.
14:31
Speaker 1: Do very little. I think towards the end of the
14:33
Speaker 1: season you might have seen a little more of that.
14:36
Speaker 1: He grew into it as the season went along, and
14:38
Speaker 1: the receiving corps has a lot to do with that too.
14:41
Speaker 1: Do they have above the shoulder's ability to be able
14:44
Speaker 1: to flip routes without moving and know everything in the offense,
14:47
Speaker 1: And that was a big key to the success, certainly
14:50
Speaker 1: in December.
14:51
Speaker 3: And I also think that a lot of times it's
14:53
Speaker 3: not a matter of Trevor having the language to be
14:57
Speaker 3: able to change a play. Sometimes things are changed changed
15:00
Speaker 3: with just a little wink in a nod, you know,
15:02
Speaker 3: a little bit of body language. And so there's also
15:05
Speaker 3: familiarity with the players amongst themselves on top of the
15:09
Speaker 3: familiarity with the system that will allow them to take
15:13
Speaker 3: this offense to another level. And I really believe that
15:15
Speaker 3: this offense can go to another level for a lot
15:18
Speaker 3: of reasons. Number one, it's here, two of the system,
15:21
Speaker 3: and then also the quality of the players. I think
15:24
Speaker 3: they're taking a huge step up. They've added some pieces
15:27
Speaker 3: to this offense that's going to provide not only frontline help,
15:30
Speaker 3: but then also the depth that is necessary to be
15:33
Speaker 3: able to maintain a certain level of performance throughout a season.
15:37
Speaker 3: The rookie class so far looks good and the limited
15:40
Speaker 3: opportunity that we've been able to see them and the
15:42
Speaker 3: veterans like you talked about the impact that Calvin Ridley
15:45
Speaker 3: has had almost felt immediately. I mean that's real. I
15:49
Speaker 3: mean that's something that you can feel, and it's exciting
15:52
Speaker 3: to have components that may be able to step in
15:54
Speaker 3: and contribute right away.
15:56
Speaker 1: And a lot of it too, Lugs is that. I
15:58
Speaker 1: mean some of these guys, obviously you have been in
16:00
Speaker 1: the weight room in the offseason well.
16:02
Speaker 3: And the guy that really stood out to me from
16:04
Speaker 3: that aspect was Trevor himself and I talked with him
16:08
Speaker 3: yesterday after practice the first practice and I said, man,
16:11
Speaker 3: I said, you look bigger, and he said that last year.
16:14
Speaker 3: He finished up the year about two seventeen, and he's
16:17
Speaker 3: six six, right, and he's every bit of six six, Yes, okay,
16:21
Speaker 3: And I said, well, where are you at now? He said,
16:23
Speaker 3: you know, he goes, I'm right around two twenty five.
16:24
Speaker 3: And that's you know, that's great. I mean, you know,
16:27
Speaker 3: for a quarterback, and you want to be able to
16:29
Speaker 3: have your quarterbacks to be able to withstand a full season.
16:32
Speaker 3: Maybe a little I'm not saying an extra bulk, but
16:34
Speaker 3: a little extra cushion, a little bit of extra oomph
16:37
Speaker 3: for them to be able to have the durability to
16:39
Speaker 3: go through a season.
16:40
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Our Monday debuts a week from this coming Monday.
16:44
Speaker 1: It will air for the first time August seventh. Let's
16:47
Speaker 1: move down to the Jags defense, starting with a star
16:50
Speaker 1: down the stretch last season, safety Rayshawn Jenkins.
16:54
Speaker 6: Just stink assistant.
16:55
Speaker 5: Just continue to come out here and prove that, you know,
16:59
Speaker 5: I can do that game in and game out.
17:02
Speaker 1: I've been training and working and and and.
17:04
Speaker 5: Really you know, put my best foot forward so I
17:07
Speaker 5: could be able to do that for my team and
17:10
Speaker 5: in any given situation, oh, I would just say probably
17:12
Speaker 5: like more conditioning, just so that when it's when it's
17:16
Speaker 5: late in that fourth quarter and you know, everybody tied,
17:19
Speaker 5: Like my mind said, it is to be the last
17:20
Speaker 5: man standing. So uh, if I can look as good
17:23
Speaker 5: as I did on the first play, then then that's
17:25
Speaker 5: all I would need.
17:26
Speaker 4: Tyson, And just what are you saying out of them
17:29
Speaker 4: this offseason? And really just as you spend time with
17:32
Speaker 4: them going into your third year in.
17:33
Speaker 5: Tact of Sus, Just true professionals, man. They always want
17:36
Speaker 5: to get better. They always asking questions, and they're not
17:38
Speaker 5: afraid to come and ask questions.
17:40
Speaker 6: You know.
17:40
Speaker 5: Uh, they're both really really good players. So you know
17:44
Speaker 5: sometimes players that are that are that good, they seem like,
17:47
Speaker 5: I mean, they tend to kind of feel like they
17:49
Speaker 5: can do stuff on their own, but they still come
17:51
Speaker 5: and come to the older guys like me and d
17:53
Speaker 5: Will and uh, just really continue to keep that open
17:56
Speaker 5: ear yeo about bad people have accessory.
17:58
Speaker 8: How much more comfortable are y'all in Colbos defense going
18:01
Speaker 8: into your second.
18:01
Speaker 2: Year with them?
18:02
Speaker 10: Go?
18:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, really comfortable. It's always good to come back into
18:04
Speaker 5: a scheme or situation that is familiar. So I know
18:10
Speaker 5: when I was with the Chargers, you know, we were
18:11
Speaker 5: in the same scheme for shoot all four years, and
18:14
Speaker 5: you know, that really played to my benefit, and I
18:18
Speaker 5: feel like the same thing could happen here as well.
18:20
Speaker 5: Last year we were just getting familiar with you know,
18:22
Speaker 5: the play calls, the coaches and everything like that. But
18:25
Speaker 5: now we know are the things that can beat us.
18:29
Speaker 5: We know what plays to our advantage and what plays
18:31
Speaker 5: to our disadvantages. So it's always good to come back
18:34
Speaker 5: to a familiar scheme.
18:36
Speaker 9: It's the turnovers last year.
18:38
Speaker 8: How do you make sure that that doesn't that continues
18:40
Speaker 8: into the season.
18:41
Speaker 5: Just like Bob Sutton, I always say, you move towards
18:44
Speaker 5: your most dominant thought, So it constantly has to just
18:47
Speaker 5: be on your minds. You know, when you're out here
18:49
Speaker 5: on this practice field, you got to be thinking about
18:52
Speaker 5: the turnovers. You can't just go through the motions and
18:55
Speaker 5: just hey, let's get through practice. To day is hey,
18:57
Speaker 5: I gotta take the ball away.
18:58
Speaker 1: Cornerback Tyson Campbell is ready for year three, and he
19:01
Speaker 1: told me this week how he's improved from his first
19:04
Speaker 1: two NFL seasons.
19:05
Speaker 7: I think I'm a better player overall, y'at, smarter, more mature, stronger, quicker,
19:15
Speaker 7: so healthier, you know, Uh, you know, I feel like
19:19
Speaker 7: these this part of your career is like real pivotal.
19:22
Speaker 7: You know, your your routines kind of set in and
19:25
Speaker 7: you kind of got a certain role on your team.
19:28
Speaker 7: So you know, this is something I'm starting to embrace
19:30
Speaker 7: and starting to get used to and you know, uh,
19:34
Speaker 7: you know, trying to you know, do great things.
19:37
Speaker 1: Do you think the league is opened their eyes to
19:39
Speaker 1: you yet or are you still a little bit under
19:40
Speaker 1: the radar? Do you care about that stuff? Does it
19:43
Speaker 1: drive you extra I don't think you need extra drive
19:45
Speaker 1: or anything, but do you worry about that stuff?
19:47
Speaker 7: I'm my biggest critic, so I'm not really worried about
19:50
Speaker 7: what what everybody's saying and this and that. You know,
19:53
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, what drives me to
19:56
Speaker 7: be great is, you know, just proving it to myself.
19:58
Speaker 7: So each and every day, you know, I'm not stooping
20:02
Speaker 7: down to compete at anybody else's level. You know, everybody
20:05
Speaker 7: competing at my level and I'm holding myself to a standard.
20:09
Speaker 7: So that's how I think about it.
20:10
Speaker 1: How did you get stronger and faster? What specifically did
20:14
Speaker 1: you do maybe this offseason the last four or five
20:16
Speaker 1: six months, Uh.
20:19
Speaker 7: Just the little things. Pilates, staying in the weight room,
20:22
Speaker 7: running on the track, doing dB drills, you know, all
20:26
Speaker 7: those little things, and I think that's what's helped me
20:30
Speaker 7: to most of.
20:31
Speaker 1: All the interviews in press conferences from the week at
20:34
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com, We close with NFL Network reporter and
20:38
Speaker 1: host Sarah Walsh. She visited a Jaguars camp Saturday as
20:41
Speaker 1: part of the networks Back Together Saturday coverage from around
20:45
Speaker 1: the NFL. Walsh is a graduate of the University of
20:48
Speaker 1: North Florida here in Jacksonville, where she played soccer, and
20:52
Speaker 1: she joined me in studio after practice Saturday and talked
20:55
Speaker 1: through the expectations that are now sky high for the Jaguars.
21:00
Speaker 1: When they handle the expectations, I think is the big question.
21:03
Speaker 10: I hope so, but it definitely changes. And I was
21:06
Speaker 10: just talking to Trevor about this on the field a
21:07
Speaker 10: year ago. I was here and we do this Back
21:09
Speaker 10: Together weekend in the NFL, and I was assigned the Jaguars.
21:12
Speaker 10: We're out on a high school football field, which you
21:14
Speaker 10: well know, not in this beautiful facility, and it was just, man,
21:19
Speaker 10: we hope we can get things going in the right direction,
21:21
Speaker 10: like that was the goal. Right, Like you just want
21:23
Speaker 10: to get things going in the right direction. And so
21:25
Speaker 10: to think where this team went from there to where
21:28
Speaker 10: they ended up, I mean hanging with the Chiefs. I
21:31
Speaker 10: mean that was a game and I think that maybe
21:33
Speaker 10: was the most It didn't end up in a win,
21:35
Speaker 10: but that was the most eye open. I mean they
21:37
Speaker 10: were there, that was a ballgame, and it gives you
21:40
Speaker 10: a glimpse of how good this team could be. And
21:42
Speaker 10: then fast forward to this year, beautiful new facility. If
21:46
Speaker 10: you build it, they will come. Kind of mentality right,
21:47
Speaker 10: and this thing is in the right direction. But man,
21:51
Speaker 10: it takes what one year for those expectations to flip
21:54
Speaker 10: because you know, this entire offseason has been like it's
21:58
Speaker 10: not just getting in the postseason anymore. This can be
22:00
Speaker 10: an elite team in the AFC. But the one thing
22:02
Speaker 10: I to your point about how do you manage those
22:06
Speaker 10: I was thinking about Trevor right, because everything goes through Trevor.
22:09
Speaker 10: This is a guy that played at Clemson and what
22:11
Speaker 10: was his margin of eric Clemson. When you're vying for
22:13
Speaker 10: national championship, it's you don't have a gimmea game where
22:16
Speaker 10: you can lose one game. So that's not you know,
22:18
Speaker 10: I kind of talked to him about that today, like
22:20
Speaker 10: that's not new for him. Like, when you want to
22:22
Speaker 10: talk about pressure, I don't know that there's any more
22:25
Speaker 10: pressure than when he was the quarterback at Clemson in
22:27
Speaker 10: that era. You know the pressure, certainly, I'm Patrick Mahomes
22:30
Speaker 10: and the Chiefs, right, and there's pressure on the Jaguars.
22:33
Speaker 10: But this is not new for Trevor. It's new for
22:36
Speaker 10: him in the NFL. But you're not talking small time football.
22:40
Speaker 10: You know, he's in stadiums with a one hundred thousand people
22:42
Speaker 10: expecting him to win every day. Anything less than a
22:45
Speaker 10: national championship isn't good enough. If anyone's equipped to handle
22:49
Speaker 10: that kind of pressure that they're going to feel here,
22:51
Speaker 10: I think it's Trevor Sarah.
22:53
Speaker 1: They've got the horses to match almost any offense in
22:56
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. It feels like Kirk played big
22:59
Speaker 1: last year, say Jones. Obviously at Calvin Ridley, who's as
23:03
Speaker 1: motivated as you'll ever find coming off almost two years
23:06
Speaker 1: away from the game and in a contract year. Evan
23:10
Speaker 1: Ingram just signed a new deal. They have running backs.
23:13
Speaker 1: What else do you need on offense right now? This
23:16
Speaker 1: has the ability to be right there with those teams.
23:19
Speaker 10: It feels like, yeah, and I think that's a good
23:22
Speaker 10: thing for Trevor because, right, the quarterbacks get all the attention.
23:25
Speaker 10: But you just named a litany of potential big name
23:28
Speaker 10: stars in this league, and it's not one. It's not Hey,
23:31
Speaker 10: this one receiver goes down and then what happened. I
23:34
Speaker 10: brought it up on the air today. Everything seems to
23:37
Speaker 10: be centered around Calvin Ridley, deservedly, so people are excited
23:40
Speaker 10: to see him back out there. I was at Bucks
23:42
Speaker 10: practice Thursday, and people will pulling me aside to show
23:45
Speaker 10: me video of Calvin running routes because they were like,
23:49
Speaker 10: look at these guys running routes and then look at
23:51
Speaker 10: Calvin Ridley. I mean, this is Downtampa, people like you
23:53
Speaker 10: got to see this video. And but you know, I
23:56
Speaker 10: mentioned on air, Christian Kirk's coming off a career year,
23:59
Speaker 10: like you know, you're you're over a thousand yards career
24:02
Speaker 10: year for him, We're not even talking about him, which
24:04
Speaker 10: I don't think is a bad thing either, right, because
24:06
Speaker 10: it just shows the depth that they have on this team.
24:10
Speaker 10: But man, one thing I noticed, and I'm sure you've
24:12
Speaker 10: seen it for days now, being here When Zero touches
24:15
Speaker 10: the ball, this place goes crazy. It can be like
24:19
Speaker 10: a little five yard pass, it can be a thirty
24:20
Speaker 10: yard bomb. When Zero touches the ball, the fans go ballistic,
24:25
Speaker 10: and I think it's really cool to see. It's got
24:27
Speaker 10: to be cool for him to feel that love. I
24:31
Speaker 10: know he probably feels the pressure and you're coming back
24:33
Speaker 10: and is just going to be the same guy. But man,
24:35
Speaker 10: it feels like this community is so excited to have
24:39
Speaker 10: him on their team, and they should be. And so
24:41
Speaker 10: that was really like my biggest takeaway today, as someone
24:45
Speaker 10: who afar has been reading and seeing all the Calvin stuff,
24:48
Speaker 10: to see it up close and personal and to just
24:50
Speaker 10: see the reaction that people are having to him, that's
24:53
Speaker 10: pretty cool.
