Jaguars Happy Hour: August 5 - Hour 1

the pads went on. We'll hear from Urban Meyer coming up, Trevor Lawrence Reverbend talking about the play of a young tackle who has really stood out in individual one on one pass rush drills. We'll get to that. Judy Batissa, NFL Media we caught up earlier this week on the practice field. We'll hear from Judy at four fifteen today and get her thoughts on the state of the Jaguars these days and league matters including vaccination rates and the like.

And Jaguars analyst Jeff Logman will join us at four thirty today. Then at five o'clock it's another hour of Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Radio Network. That will come up. We'll here from Logs then as well. Glad you're with us today. The Jaguars were off on Thursday afternoon or Thursday morning as well. Very light work if any here at the facility today. Nothing on the field for the Jaguars though. Wednesday, though, was the second day in pads and it was a winner loser session for

the Jaguars. A lot of one on one work in special teams on the defensive side, running backs, linebackers going against each other, and urban Meyer right there in the middle of it each time, scoring it and keeping track of who's winning, giving instant analysis of who won every single rep. It was announced over the speaker system on the practice fields of Dream Finders Homes Practice Complex. Uh. Quite a sight to see the intensity ramped up a

little more yesterday. I think that was probably the most intense of the days so far because of that head to head competition among players when it comes down to scoring it though for urban Meyer the record matters to the head coach. But we're gonna have to make a decision. A big roster is gonna go to a smaller roster, and I just I think to be fair to players, you know, I just we all have so much respect for that. This is a way guys make a living.

And I don't believe in subjectivity. I believe in what's your record? Every man's got a record. What is it? You know what you are? What your record are? If you lose a lot, but you you know, I have a lot of potential. That's not real good if you whis just over my course of my career. I just the Anine Blacks. You know, I can give you an example after example that maybe there was a little slow, but they just never lose. So I try to create those and as many safe and you know, there's one

way to doing that. Scrimmage forever. You can't do that, but you can create scenarios where it's one on one and and then everybody's got a score. What's your and what's your record? And Urban also said a little later that that score will go into the process of cutting down the rosters at the end. It's not the only

thing that matters. Of course, a lot of the things that go into who is on and off the roster, who makes the cut line and all that, but it is a piece of the puzzle, and they're they're keeping track on every single thing on that practice field for the Jacksonville Jaguars Hill from Urban Meyer coming up in just a little bit as well. Trevor Lawrence had some interceptions early on Monday. That was the first competitive day, still the final day without pads for the Jags. Back

on Monday. He rallied a bit in the second half of practice too to finish strong, which is a great sign that came back out the next day the first day in full pads and and worked pretty well. It is a process though for the number one overall pick to learn this new offense. You guys really had to learn a new one in a while. Always been at Climpse in the last three years, so the first time around in this offense. There now six to seven installations

into this offense. And we'll hear from Darryl Bevil coming up in just a moment on the retention for Trevor Lawrence, but the adjustment for Trevor Lawrence in the NFL and learning that offense, it continues to be a challenge for him. I'm still in that process a lot further than I was in the spring, so I feel confident in what I know, but there's just so many little details that I mean, I don't know if you ever can say,

I know, I know at all. You know, you're always learning, and I definitely still have some more to learn and different situations I gotta get used to like we did two minute today and I'm feeling more comfortable with that, but still trying to make that like clockwork, second nature is just something you gotta work. We mentioned Darryl Bevil, the offensive coordinator for the Jags, earlier this week, basically said that they saw some signs of maybe some overload

a little bit Trevor Lawrence. Alignments were off on the offense, some small things. It's a work in progress, according to the offensive coordinator. You know, today was the sixth install that we've been through. I kind of thought of piled up on him a little bit today. Um, the first five days, I thought there was some really good recall. Today I could see some you know, misalignments and those kind of things which you would expect at this point

for Trevor. Um, it's just every day is a learning process, and you know, there's a lot of stuff on him right now, and there's gonna be another one tonight, another one the next day, and then once we once we end him, it'll start to slow down. We'll go back review, we'll clean some things up. But each and every day he's in there working hard, watching the tape um and trying to improve as he comes back out for the

next day. Even on a day maybe that's not as strong for Trevor Lawrence, say back on Monday, you know, when he had the three interception day that was widely reported and all that. There's always it feels like two, three, four throws in a practice where he reminds you if you forgot for some reason why he was the number one overall pick in the draft. Uh, he can make throws at nobody else, at least at this moment on

that practice field. Can We haven't seen it around here really maybe ever, if not in a long long time. Still a long way to go for Trevor Lawrence to get the master of the offense and and get much more comfortable in doing it on a day to day basis. But so far, so good. The process continues for him. But like I said, there are moments that you say, Okay, this is the guy, this is why he is who

he is. He can he can flash it in a moment's notice, and he has the weapons around him to help out in that case, including tenth year receiver Marvin Jones Jr. We caught up with Jones after practice earlier this week. It's his tenth NFL training camp. That's a long time. He is the veteran in this Jaguars locker room, and I asked him, how is his preparation different now in year ten than it was back in year one, two or three. I think it's just the preparation, um,

you know. I I have a formula that I do, UM, you know every offseason in UM, every camp and during the season that that works. UM. And it's UM. And I still feel like I still feel like year one when I do that, you know what I'm saying. If not, it takes me a little while to warm up. But you guys wouldn't see it, you know, but I feel it. But I think it's just just knowing my body, UM, you know. And and a lot of times too, like knowing how to run and certain you know, certain routes

you don't have to run full speed. You you just you're sitting in the window, you're doing that. And UM, if if you do that, you know, UM, repetition, it's you know, it's it's like it's like second nature. So um, so far, so good. Marvin Jones is has been so far a great addition for this Jaguars wide receiver room. Of course, tenure veteran has done it at a high level really the last couple of years as well. You're eight and you're nine in the league for him up

in Detroit. Some solid numbers there, but he has that personality you just heard there is great for that room. There's a lot of young guys in that room. D J. Chark is still very young though he's in his fourth NFL season and and Marvin Jones has gone through that process before of leaving your rookie contract and trying to fight for a second one in the NFL or a third one in his case. And so he's a great

resource for a guy like DJ Chart too. Maybe calm his nerves, do you know, get you get in his head of hey, just go play or we can help you out with this. And then at the end, as he said in his press conference the other day, Marvin Jones said, he just followed my coat tails and we'll we'll get everybody paid here, which is really what it's all about when it comes to professional football and Labisco

Janald is the same thing. A second year player who can look up to the way that Marvin Jones has kept his body over the last nine years going on now number ten in the National Football League, a good example for this wide receiver room. And and he's still making plays obviously in trading camp too. That's part of it. He's getting open, he's making a catcher two a day. That the same thing from Trevor Lawrence that we said a moment ago. There's a couple of plays, a couple

throws from him each day. There's a couple of catches, it feels like from Marvin Jones each day in practice as well. That's a great, great sign for this Jaguars offense. Let's flip it around a defense. Now, what will this defense look like four three three four, Well, it's going to be all the above. For defensive coordinator Joe Cullen, this scheme four three three four will be multiple in our scheme and we can have four man fronts and then basically we can have three man fronts, five man

fronts with five down. So I think with the guys that we have upfront and the competition, we'll have different package groupings that you won't know who's coming, who's blitzing, what personnel grouping we're in. We'll have all dbs and then five guys up front, so I think we'll be able to once everything settled, really really hone in on different packages. Excited to hear from Jeff Lagman coming up about four thirty, will get his thoughts on what the

defense has looked like. He's been watching practice tape every day and see what kind of different ideas Joe Colin might have in mind. That's that's an exciting development to see, Well, you don't you just might not know who's coming on a certain play. The different formation options. There's so many guys that could change positions and move around. And Josh s Allen can go out and coverage. Now, he could stand up, he could put you know, go down on a three point stance. He can do all that same

thing for Caleb and Chason Miles. Jack has been working inside mainly. They can move him outside. They That's what Joe Colin said earlier this week. So there are a lot of opportunities for this Jaguars defense to outwit some offenses in the NFL this year. A big piece of that group, though, of course, is defensive end in linebacker Josh Allen. It is a big year for Alan coming

off that knee injury of a season ago. He looks in incredible shape so far in training camp three or four package, you'll be upstanding and moving around a bit. And the third year pro is fired up for the possibilities on the outside back towards where I can just move around and I can like disguise and I can you know, saying, get back to the slide. Like I feel like defense is all about swagger, and I feel like when you've moved around, you're stimming. You don't know

what that person gonna do. That's always a good you know what I'm saying to me, Like I love that. Okay, this dude don't know what I'm about to do, but I'm about to kill him regardless. So like that's that's my mindset. And I'm going back to that. And we just opening up the game book now and and it's gonna be a fun year for all of us now on It's for me, but everybody else. You know what I'm saying. What Trevor Lawrence is to the Jaguars offense, at least early in training camp is what Josh Allen

is for the Jaguars defense. He is the guy. He is the man. Obviously we've known that, but he's gotta go out there and prove it again. After missing eight games or so last season with that knee issue, that's no longer an issue for him. As we said, he's he looks in a better shape. I think that he was even going into last year, and he is excited

at too. Have so many other options on this defense for him to go out and make plays or open it up for guys along the defensive line, the linebackers, all the rest of those guys can make place too. If you've gotta double Josh Allen, then somebody else will be able to run free. Maybe that guy running free is Miles Jack, the Jaguars inside linebacker working inside, according to Joe Cullen this week, the defensive coordinator, but he could see some time outside in this scheme as well.

We heard from assistant head coach and inside linebackers coach Charlie Strong he knows Miles Jack can handle all that moving around. Miles is just and you look at him and he can do a lot of different things for you. You You know he can. He's he's good enough where he can you get him in a coverage where he can cover the running backs and cover the tight ends, and then he's physical enough when they run the football he can go hit the ball and go run down guys.

But you know the thing about Miles is he he knows that he's got to get better and and what we're asking of him. And it's been great just the way he's come out here working. But he's very personal versatility key on this defense this year with all the different schemes Joe Cullen likely has cooked up for the season. There's a review of the last week in training camp one. We've got a busy show ahead. We'll come back and hear from Judy Batista, NFL media reporter, longtime reporter for

Hope you'll join us one way or another, hopefully here and bring the radio with you at the same time. Why not, you'll hear all out of that coming up this weekend. Let's hear from Judy Batista,

now our good friend from NFL media. She's been covering the league for a long long time at a number of different places, most notably with The New York Times from as the NFL reporter for the Times and joined the NFL media in and she is really locked into what's going on around the NFL when it comes to the vaccination numbers, and has a lot of thoughts about what's happening here in Jacksonville as well. We caught up earlier this week to see you and always appreciate your time.

It's great to see you in person. This is it's I never thought I would say it's great to be standing out at a training camp practice again, but it's great to be hit a practice again. Like the last three or four interviews we've done have been over zoom right. Yes, that's all. All of last year I only saw people on a computer screen. So it's nice to be in front of people again. We're speaking on Wednesday. You were

here Tuesday as well, two days for the Jaguars. Your initial impression after Tuesday's practice, it feels like to be at least the there's not a lot of wasted time on the practice field. Urban Meyer is not gonna let a second go by. No. It is a very efficient practice, which I'm sure is like the coach. A coach loves to hear the word efficient. That's got to be their favorite word. But it is efficient right that they move between fields, like when they're changing fields, like there's no

wasted effort and wasted time. They're getting a lot done out there so far in the offseason program. Just I know you talked to Urban around the draft. I believe you were in town for that. I'm curious how the pressure of the regular season preseason will get to him, if it will get to him, how he will handle that. So far, he's been great in front of the microphone when the lights have been on him. He always has been. That really hasn't changed. But they haven't played a live

football game yet. I wonder if do you think there will be some change in Urban as this goes along. I don't know specific to Urban. There's changes in every coach in the NFL once this season gets going. Which is why I always say, like I love coming to training camp because for the most part, nothing bad has happened yet. So everybody's still in a good mood. Everybody's

opting a stick, and you haven't played a game yet. Um, most places tighten up, not just coaches, players due to and that's that's understandable, right, I mean they feel the pressure and but but look, Urban has been around the block a lot at an extremely high level, with an awful lot of success. So I would think he probably changes less. I what I'm curious about is if they don't.

You know, he is used to tremendous success at an extremely high level, and so if that doesn't happen that I'm curious to see how he handles that and what he does to correct him. Judy Batista with us from NFL Media. You've seen Trevor Lawrence on the field now for a day and there have been a few moments in every practice where you say, you know what, that's the number one overall pick for a reason. Yeah. There was that past yesterday to Marvin Jones that was like

between two defenders. That was a rocket and like the reporters gasped, right, oh, that you know, that looks like a quarter back. And there were a few other plays that you know, probably aren't on the highlight reel, but where he rolled out and made throws on the run and plays would break down and he would make something of it. And that's what you want to see, right, I mean, maybe even more than the rocket to Marvin Jones, which I think we all know he can make that pass.

It's the creating plays when things are falling apart and making plays on the move that's really which want to see. I talked to Brian Schopenheamery s Jan and he said, as ridiculous as it sounds, you sort of forget what a great athlete he is, how he can move because he's so tall to rights six six, and so you forget that, like he can move, and he was moving yesterday and it looked good. Yesterday looked really good to me. I know the day before maybe it wasn't quite as smooth,

but yesterday I thought it looks good. And that's what a rookie quarterback is going to do, right. What you want to see is that he can have a good day after a bad one. Darryl Bevill spoke with the media after practice Tuesday and said that, you know, that day yesterday Tuesday was maybe there was a little bit of overload in terms of the play calling and the retention from the installation earlier in the day. Even with the number one overall pick. That can happen, right, It's

a rookie quarterback. It's a lot of new going on here. But how he handles that and moves forward, I think will be the real answer and the telling part of Trevor. Yeah, Schottenheimer said the same thing that what they're looking for is how does he retain stuff? How does he adjust as he remember the checks at the line of scrimmage, how does he call the protections for the offensive one? All of the things that going to bring a quarterback that frankly most people are not right. We're just looking

to see is he completing passes. There's so much more that goes into it. And you know they always say it's like drinking from a fire hose, right, like you get this gigantic playbook and it's like her kid go um. So there's gonna be ups and downs, Like you know, I was at the Jets last week and it's the same thing with Zack Wilson and Robert Sali said. There's gonna be ebbs and flows and it's going to drive everybody crazy, players, coaches, fans, But this is part of

the process. And all you want to see is that they can bounce back from a not good day and have a good day and and Trevor did that yesterday. So I don't think they have any concerns about Trevor Lawrence's ability to process stuff. Schottenheimer compared in terms of mental acuity um to Philip Rivers, which is a pretty high bar to reach. So that's pretty good. Judy Batista with us. I know there's a month until opening weekend, kick off weekend, but the a f C South quarterback

situations are changing by the day. All of a sudden, it feels like India has changed a lot. We know what Houston's going through. Tennessee is stable at least for the moment. Uh And you know what's happening here in Jacksonville. Things have changed in the last week or so. The a f C South, I'm sorry to say, it's like a train wreck, right. I mean this week alone, the

poor Indianapolis culture having the worst injury look imaginable. With serious injuries to your starting quarterback and you're all pro guard, you know, maybe the best player on the team, and they're both at with foot injuries. That the range is like five weeks to twelve weeks, which tells us nothing. Right. Five weeks they're back for the opener, that seems optimistic. Twelve weeks they're not back until November, which is devastating. Who knows who the quarterback is going to be there?

Um and even when Carson Wentz comes back. What is he A big part of his game was mobility. Is he going to be mobile? Um Houston, I I'm not being physicists. I'm not sure anybody really knows what's going on there. I mean, it's really a mess. Obviously, Deshaun Watson is not going to be the starting quarterback. I think we can surmise that much. Um Tyrod Taylor is. But the roster has been repped apart. I mean they're clearly rebuilding there. I don't know what's going on there. Tennessee.

I think as a result of the Colts, I think Tennessee is the class of the division now. Uh And I think the addition of Julio Jones helps because that will relieve some of the defensive pressure on Derrick Henry, which is terrifying because he was as productive as he was when the defenses were keying on him. So now that the defense is can't key on him on every down like whoa. Um. So, I think Tennessee is the

team to beat in the division. But listen, it sets up perfectly for a team like the Jaguars because you think you can probably pick off a few games here in the division that maybe you wouldn't have if you know, if everybody was in place. Don't we know about the Derrick Henry situation here in Jacksonville. We've seen it firsthand. I believe he's insane. I mean the fact again that defenses have been able to just load up against him and they still can't get him down. It is crazy.

And the idea that now they're going to have to pay attention to Julio Jones, yikes. You know, I still have nightmares of Mike Keith screamings on the commercial every single day. He's so I mean, maybe not from the jacksonval point of view, but he's so fun to watch, right, I mean, he's amazing. Um, So he may be more He probably won't get as many touches because you have Julio Jones, but he may be more productive as a result.

Julie Batista with us from NFL Media, spoke with the commissioner last week earlier this week Saturday, this past weekend up in New York, and I think he's going to make the rounds number of different teams for some ticketing initiatives coming up. So we'll hear from him here in Jacksonville shortly. And we've talked about this before. The way he and the league handled last season was absolutely incredible.

They actually got the season in full, first of all, even or even a partial piece of the season, but they got the whole thing in, played through the Super Bowl, did everything. They didn't have to miss a step. Now it's on and the expectation, at least from the commissioner, it sounds like that every team should have a full stadium. We're a month away. How real is that? Well, right now they have permission from local authorities in all of

the cities to have full stadiums. Um. I guess I'm curious to see if there will be Will some places go to like do you have to wear masks so you're gonna have to show some form of you know, a negative test or a vaccination card. That would be local authorities who have to make that decision. But certainly the NFL feels that now that vaccines are available to everybody twelve and up, that um that fans can be

in the stadium, that they can do this safely. They felt they got some fans, they had a million fans overall last year. They were able to do that safely when there was no vaccine available, so they're I mean, they're confident they're going to be allowed to have full stadiums. Then then I think it's just a question of, um,

you know, how does it go during the season. I mean, one thing we learned last year is right, the virus sort of morphs and everybody has to adjust as you go along, and I think they're prepared to do that this year too. On the team front, I believe that memo the week before training camp, maybe move some players in the direction of the vaccine. Let's say the numbers continue to eyes and that's good. Yeah, the screws got turned,

no question about it. I thought Ryan Tannehill gave the most can't a thing and he said, well, it feels like the NFL is twisting our arms. So I got back to It's like, well, yes, that's exactly what they're doing. So it's working. That's good. Um, yes it is. It is a good thing. Um. I don't want to get into the vaccine debate, but I mean, uh, you know, the only way anybody is going to play through this safely, and the only way we're all going to get through

this safely is to have widespread vaccination. And they feel strongly that if you talk to any coach, they clearly feel if you don't have a team that is widely vaccinated, you are at a real competitive disadvantage. And all you have to do is look at some of the teams. The Minnesota Vikings had three quarterbacks the close contacts you know, the other day and got wiped out of practice. And imagine if that happens in a game week. I mean,

you know, that's a disaster. But last year it was different because there were no vaccines, so everybody was on equal footing, right, it was impossible. It was so hard for everybody. This year is much different because you're going to have some teams that have taxed. You already have some teams that are vaccine. Those teams are gonna have a much easier time than a team that has. You know, I don't know what the lowest figure is. Now that's it.

I mean, the risk to me, the risk of for instance, you're starting quarterback not being vaccinated, must keep coaches up at night right pulling their hair out, because the risk that he could, even if he doesn't get sick, that he's a close contact and has to be out for whatever the number of days is that's rough when the other team's starting quarterback is going to be okay.

Glad you're along with us. J P. Shadrick. Thanks to Judy Batista NFL Media for joining us earlier this week. We just heard from her. And it's time out of here from Jaguars analyst Jeff Lagerman. Real training camp is here now, Jeff. They put the pads on finally, But how you doing. I'm done good and uh, it's good

to see the pad finally go on. And it's amazing to me how sometimes you kind of have a preconceived notion about how certain guys are gonna look, and then when the pads go on, sometimes that changes and uh and changes completely. So that's why they always say, you know, you gotta wait until you get the pad to get on, and wait till the pad to get on, especially for some of the big guys, because it certainly changes. We are gonna go through some of the tape that you've

been watching from practice most days you're watching everything. I litally I got this JP, I got this new chair from my father in law that he had forever and and for lack of a better term, it's kind of like this old man, sharing. You know, it's got it's got the remote control that's attached to the wire. You know, if you have a hard time getting up, that raises you up and and and out, you know, and then

it's got a reclined feature to it. And man, I'm gonna tell you now, sometimes, you know, I'm I get an arcilepsy sometimes when I'm watching film and it's terrible, but it's awesome. It's like the ultimate film seat. Got my iPad, get my pillow right on front prop that iPad right up in front of me, get my glasses on because you know, my eyes are are not what they used to be, and watch every single drill that I possibly can. And it's been awesome. It's been awesome.

I don't remember ever hearing you sound this old. Before long, I just said your eyesight is bad. You got an old man cheer. Now you got grand your beards, like what is going on over there? Oh you don't you know. I'm getting into my mid fifties and songs starting to get older. But it's uh, I can tell you this. Watching football never gets old for me. You know, I absolutely love watching the film part and the aspect of it because you know, as much as you know you

gain by watching it in person. It's hard to watch all eleven guys are actually all twenty two guys on every single play. So when you when you have the ability to watch the tape with your eyes, you watch a certain area, but then on the tape you go back and you rewind it three or four times to watch some of them, maybe some of the nuances and the small things are the little things that guys do, and you pick up on some of that stuff, and

and you don't you're a lot. I mean, you certainly learned more than you could by actually being there in person, I think, But sometimes you've got to be there in person to see certain things. And being there in person to see Trevor Lawrence, uh, to me is an eye opener because when you watch them on film, as I've done for many months in the off season leading up to the draft and then obviously many camp seeing them in person, it was different because he's got a lot,

a lot more velocity. He's got the build, he's got the height, and he's got the athleticism. And sometimes that's hard to see all of that by just watching the film. Sometimes you got to see it in person as well, Darryl Bevil. Earlier this week, the offensive coordinator Logs said that, you know, he could tell and in one of the practices that maybe there was a little bit of overload with him and from the installation of the practice field, maybe some of the alignments were off here there. That

happens with a rookie quarterback. Can you see that on the tape as well? And how does a rookie quarterback overcome something like that? Well, it doesn't just happen to a rookie quarterback. It happens to rookies period. And that's just the way it is. You You you know, all of a sudden during training camp, you have an installation progression, and you know, in the mini camps and O t A s it's kind of slow and it's very subtle. But then once you get the training camp, okay, there's

no time to waste. We have to install the entire playbook because when we get to one we may have to use the entire playbook. And so the rate of installation is increased in training camp. And sometimes rookies get a little bit of that fall brain I kind of call it, because they kind of get lost, you know, they get a couple of things down and then all of a sudden, Okay, that's good, I got it. You know, Then they add three more things to it the next day.

Then you're still trying to maintain that clarity and sometimes it's difficult, but you know, look, Trevor Lawrence has moments in JP. I heard you talk about this early in the show, and I think you hit it right on the head and that every now and again, Trevor Lawrence has two or three throws. In my opinion, it's more than that, but he has throws in practices that reminds you why he was the first overall pick. The skill

set that he has is fantastic. And the one thing I think that he is also learning is one he's trying to learn a new system. He's trying to learn a new language. But JP one of the biggest adjustment adjustment for quarterbacks when they make the jump from college to pros. The windows now get smaller because the athletes at every level are better, and so the quarterback again has smaller windows to throw in. So what may not appear to be open from college and the pros, it's

considered open. So it's a little bit of an adjustment in a lot of different ways, from the verbiage to the amount of coverages that you face, but then also the type of windows that you're seeing as a passer. Jeff Lockman with us here on Jaguar's Happy Hour taking a look at the tape, and you know the boy. The last practice yesterday was a winner versus loser practice logs. That's what they announced at the start of practice, and every rep a winner was announced over the loudspeaker by

Fernando Lovo, the chief of staff, Irvan Meyer. Urbans right there in the middle grading this thing live instantaneously, so they want instant results from all this one on one drill, from special teams, one on ones, two O line versus D line, everybody that had it. Urban's right there in the middle of it. And actually at one point he got run over on special teams drill and took a spill on the practice field. He's that close and into it. Uh. He got up and finished practice, of course, just fine.

But I liked Urban's idea of having that instant feedback and keeping the grade, which they probably did in the past anyway, but it's out there for everybody to see, so you have a pretty good idea of where you stand. Well, the one the one thing I think that for me, JP, the more I hear from urban Meyer, the more I like And is this anything new keeping score? Well, no, but it's the fact that you're letting the players know that we're going to announce it and let everybody know

how that competition is working out. That's different, you know, But in coach's minds, they've always kept score in the past. I mean, that's how you make your decisions to make roster decisions or to uh make personnel moves or change guys positions or the percentage of in the rotation and all those things have happened before. But I think it kind of creates a little bit more awareness of what

the bottom line is. And it's it's a and if you look at Jaguars coaches that have coached in the past, this is like the opposite end of the spectrum from Gus Bradley, you know, because Urban is it's all about the results, the end result. With Gus Bradley, it's kind of okay, it's the journey, and it's the process and and and they're they're both right, and that you know, you're trying to get a certain points where you're successful,

and there's kind of two belief systems. I like Urban's way, and me and Gus used to have arguments about the way in which it should be accomplished. But nevertheless, the more I hear from Urban, the more I like them. When he's in the drill, little JP, when you talked about he almost got run over in the one on one pass rush, he is right there in the mix

and he has almost gotten crushed numerous times. He better work on his little four cone drill because you've got to get better feet to get out of the way. But I like it because it also lets the players know the coaches in it with us. And and that's a big deal because when you get into the NFL season and things are kind of not easy. Look, the more you want to play for a coach, the harder you're gonna play. And so I like that aspect of it,

and JP, I don't. I'm trying to think of a way that me and you can have a winner's loser home. You know, I'm gonna let you kind of think on that, but we got to do something like that. It's a great show. It's a great idea. We'll we'll get a lot of season ahead to figure that out. But I got a feeling, um, well, we'll work on that. We'll work on that. I'm not gonna concede anything yet, because

you never know competition. One quick thing jp about the winners and losers, because it was far reaching across the entire practice. It was the offensive and defensive lineman in pass rush, drill and run blocking. Then you had the running backs versus linebackers, and it was in past protection. And then it was also in one on one coverage for those guys as well. So special teams had an aspect of it. The wide receivers and corners playing man coverage,

bump and run had the winners and losers day. So everybody got a piece of it in practice, and I like it. Well, we'll come back in a moment and we'll single out some guys that maybe had some good days the last couple of days, if you'd like to do that. We are often running.

Shadrick, Jeff Logerman along with us Today Okay, winners losers logs. You know, I was a little late getting to practice, had a meeting head to

walk out there a little late. The first thing I see when I get on the practice field yesterday is Walker Little throwing Cale and chasing around. You know. And and here's the thing. JP caleban chaise On had a really good first padded practice. I'm talking really good on Tuesday and I was like, holy cal Caleman, Chase On, that's what the Jaguars need. He's taking a step up, he's making himself get recognized, he's making plays. And the first day of pads that's what you want to see.

Day two rolls around and he meets Walker Little and that was it for caleban Chaison. That was it. Walker Little is uh I realistically believe this that there's a serious competition going on left tackle, whether it's spoken, unspoken, whatever you want to call it. Walker Little is a very talented young man. He hasn't played a lot of football, but he is extremely talented. He's got feet, he's got sized, he's got technique, he's got strength, he's got everything that

you want out of a left tackle. And let me say this also, Cam Robinson, I think is doing very well and having a good camp. But Cam still has some technical flaws that I think are going to be difficult to overcome. Now. Walker Little still has to continue to progress, and it's early in the process has only been two padded practices, but I think it makes you go, okay, that there's a reason to be excited because this is a young man that could progress and be a really

good football player. And the competition makes the team better and it makes players better. That's what you liked the moment. I mean, Cam Robinson has that thirteen point seven million dollar one year deal right now, the franchise tag, so it's guaranteed gloves. That's the only hang up I think that you know, and I'm not saying that's gonna happen. No, You're not gonna sit thirteen million dollars on the bench. You're gonna find a way to get Cam Robinson on

the field play somewhere. Right. The reality is is that when it comes to starting jobs, it's not about the money all the time. It's about the performance. And I like Cam and I think Cam is a good football player. But the reality is is that Walker a Little is a really good football player. I think is ceiling is higher than Cam Robinson. And it's early in the process, so let's kind of see what happens. But I'm excited

for the competition. I mean, that's what you want. You wish you had more competition across the whole entire roster that way. That means your general manager is doing a great job of acquiring talent. And it's only year one for this regime. So the more that they can do this type of thing in the future, the better they're gonna be pure. Are you, lugs? Who else stood out

to you as a winner from the trenches yesterday? Well, there's a few guys and and it's it's kind of hard to single out one guy in particular, but but I'm gonna do it because Davon Hamilton is an absolute stud, I mean absolute stud. And when they weren't in pads, I was kind of watching him going, you know, he's got to pick it up. He's not moving his feet. Well he's not moving. Well, he's got a he's got a shot up more. Well, pat's go on and and

all of a sudden, guess what the guy that? And I would love to know how big he really is because he's listening. He's the roster j There's not a chance in hell that he's three thirty five. I'm here to tell you that right now, there's no that that he is less than three fifty and here's the thing, and ain't a fat three fifty okay, And then I'm not talking about a four percent three fifty or body

fat type of guy. I mean he's you know, he's got some got some girth to him, you know, so he's got some body fat, but I mean he's got a lot of muscle. And watching him the last two days, nobody can block him. Brandon Lennar can't block him, okay, Tyler Shatley can't block him. Nor Well can't block him. A j can can't block him. Seriously, it's you know, JP, when when you're young and you're in high school and you always have people that are on kind of different

levels of maturity. You know, you had that guy in in high school and you know, and he was already muscled up and he had almost could grow a full beard, you know, and then you were waking up every day and you're looking at your arm Pisco, man, I wish I could get some hair in the armpit, you know, because I mean the guys are just on different levels. In high school. When you watched Devon Hamilton's place, sometimes that's what it looks like where he is at. And

then he's on a different level. He is powerful, he moves well, he toys with guys. And you brought up a name with me earlier we were talking about it and you brought up the name of Marcel Darius. Marcel Darius didn't have the size that Devon Hamilton's have. The Devon is doing it with probably less strength than just more sheer mass. But it's similar as far as the dominance on the offensive line, and it's fun to watch. It is fun to watch. Indeed, there's no doubt about that.

There was another standout play at least that I remember that Roy Robertson Harris made in one on ones against Brandon Lender. Spin move and put Lender on the ground. That's a free agent pickup. And you know, so far in in training camp, the free agent pickups have a been a good guys to talk to, seem like great additions in the locker room, and a lot of these guys have flashed on the field so far and camp. That's a good sign. Well, JP, I will tell you

the defensive line acquisition. And you know, me m a defensive line guy like watching that and Miyes kind of gravitate towards that. Probably on every play more than other position. That's just natural. But with Davon Hamilton's Roy Robertson Harris and then also your other free agent acquisition, uhcol Brown, Malcolm Brown, Malcolm Brown. Okay, those three guys right now, those are your starting three front guys in your three four based defense. I think I think they're the most

talented players that you have upfront. Now, the other guys that played last year, you know you've got you gotta got this and and uh, you know a quality and those guys look their backups and they can have a lot of flexibility. With some guys like Smooth, he can play down as a defensive event. But when you're in run stopping mode and you to be big on big, those are your three guys and right now they're playing

really good. And Roy Robinson Harris it's fun to watch because not only is he strong and he's big and naturally big and strong, but he's got some athleticism to him and he's got really good body control. When I say athleticism, some guys have a letticism make a run and jumping and kind of do those type of things. But Roy Robinson Harris has a great awareness as well as a defensive line and something that Tavian Bryan we're

talking about for a number of years. But that's an area of his game that he has to work on. But boy, Robinson Harris, he's got that good stuff. Flags. We have plenty more ahead coming up in the second hour of Jaguars Happy Hour. Can't wait to hear more of your breakdowns of Training Camp one so far. Logs has been watching the film in great detail over the last week or two, and I will see what else he has to say about this Jaguars team here in

just a little bit. Well. Also here again from Judy Batista, NFL media reporter. She'll join us a little thought on Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence in the second hour the Network Hour coming up our thanks to Judy for joining us. Thanks to a Jeff Logaman. Plenty more ahead as Jaguars Happy Our rolls along. It's an off day for the Jaguars. They're back on the practice field tomorrow Saturday and then
