Speaker 1

Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley with us after the first day of training camp nineteen. How was it first day out? It was good, you know, knocking a lot of rust off guys getting in the huddle here on some of those play calls again for the first time. It was It was a good day. It was a good day. It was very productive. Today was a winning practice. You know.

There wasn't too much flashy going on, but there was a lot of a lot of hard work, a lot of attention to detail, a lot of good corrections that we're going in today. If we can continue to build on what we have here today, it's gonna make us a good football team. Nick Foles earlier was talking about the third installation of this offense. Is it easier the third time around, and you can go out and on the field and actually put it in a little easier.

How does that work the third time around? Of course, the third time that you hear everything that goes in, it makes it a lot, makes it simpler, Uh, it makes things quicker, It makes you come out you're not so much talking about what routes you have on each play. You you talk more so about the technique, the the little things, the nuances of the offense, and you can start to polish. And once this once this office gets offense gets polished, it just gets faster, it gets more efficient,

and you can start putting in wrinkles. And so we're at that point right now where we're just polishing things up and we're trying to trying to take it day by day, but but really critiqued the little things. What is this offense going to be known for? What's the bread and butter at the end of the day. Is it too early to tell? I think it's too early to tell. I think every every team has their own identity. And uh, this offense staff and players is is very

very young in its life cycle. Um, and so we'll we'll take time and just work on being consistent and and being good at at the things that we work at. And you know, I you it'll start taking shape. It will starts taking shape and the next next month or so. Chris Connelly with this Jaguars wide receiver working with Keenan Mcardell.

You've been with him now for a few months here, former receiver in the league, long time receiver in the league, but your first season around him as a wide receiver's coach. How is he to work with What does he do on a day to day basis to make that wide receiver room better? He's good, you know, coach McCardell as a worker. Uh, he's you have to be to be in the league as long as he's been in the

league as a player. Uh. He really understands the ins and outs of the position and he brings that knowledge out here on the field every day. Uh. He's a good guy that you can take anything that you see, any technique, any defense, uh, any route combination, and you can you can bring it to him and you can start talking about Okay, so this is what I saw, what do you think in this situation? And he can give you four or five different variations off of the

same play. Uh. And it really, it really adds a lot of tools to your toolbox as a as a technician, as a receiver, and it makes it so that you can come out here and you're not guessing. It makes it so you can attack what's on your checklist for tomorrow personally for you and do you have a daily checklist of things you want to get done each practice

or how does that work for a wide receiver. Yeah, you know, every day, I'd like to focus on one or two things, one or two things that I that I've noticed from the practice film of the previous day that I really want to focus on and really step forward with. And so I don't have what will what will be my tomorrow yet because we're getting off the

field right now. Once I go in here and I watched this film, though, um, I'll be able to write down a couple of things, uh, and a couple of ways that I can practice at getting better at that. Because if you can really focus on something and have it before you, it makes it a lot easier for you to actually, you know, get it done. Thanks, no problem, Thank you for having me
