locker buddy and then you know we don't live too far from each other you know we just always have a reason to be together no matter what was coming at him I've seen him really just battle and just continue to show up on game day um be a huge part of this team and and I think it's it's right that he got paid at the time he did breaking news on the Jaguar front the Jaguars have signed Tyson Campbell to a contract extension damn hey that and my goyard bed put that in there too it's a blessing uh I still haven't found words to explain it some I worked hard for so appreciative uh you know the Jags and you know the belief they have in me and you know I take it with the most honor and I just thank God for allow me to be in a position like this where you know I can help take care of my family just a blessing to be in an environment like this where you know everybody's rooting for you and everyone's you know buying in and you know supporting one another so it's amazing they sign again like once you get drafted it's like okay now I got to stay here you know and make an impact in this league you know so now I do have the second contract it's still work to be done you know to be the best at my position and to help my team win Super Bowls [Music] I was just trying to be brave and you was just trying to get paid 1 like I'm [Music] wasy to be I think Center centering it around the energy is cool and then the outro be [Music] like go back even more [Music] music is something I've gravitated to my entire life whether it was just like listening making playlists you know making it myself has been something that I've grown into before Back to Football is is for me is about just getting my mind right for the long [Applause] haul you know during the season you have very minimal time to yourself a lot of it is very focused on the task at hand on Sundays so you know just try to get around a lot of different things that kind of bring the best out of me whether that's friends and family there creative outlets and obviously training if nobody tells me I cook what I have or what's on sale that we have a lot of different tastes around here you Pi your te we like to cook what he likes you know not just me come on now don't be singling me out like it's whatever I want come on now you've been gone for how long yeah but we y'all y'all still ate Sunday dinner without me you know I'm the favorite obviously you know huh am I the favorite nny well I thought you are she said that that's crazy my nanny like she loves to cook extremely sweet lady she just throws down in the kitchen and we eat a good food and it's just a good way for us to you know we're about to start the week back and um so it's a good way to end the just end the week with our family and stuff the one two [Music] [Laughter] yeah you dancing freeze free you know I grew up about 40 minutes west of here uh Baker County Florida smaller Town Country really country it's just you know love it it's my place it's my people let me see you [Applause] H first few days before Camp starts I'm just trying to be like lowkey and relax and just get my mind off of it cuz if you sit there and dwell on how hotted and stuff it's going to be you're just going to suffer so I'm just trying to get away and just enjoy myself as much as I can said yall going undefeated place your B now and what else do you think I need I see what you put in there straight socks and drawers I don't really need and my t-shirts they really in my locker what else I need when I was in college when we did camp like I never stayed in a hotel for Camp ever like my ever like not one time did I ever do that so that was a big adjustment for me yeah t T man this is tank he got his own little personality he sleeps in the bed like literally in between us and like he put his feet on me and put his butt on her and kind of farts in his sleep he's a different kind of dude before him like I try to go home for a little bit cuz obviously I have my girlfriend there and my little dog I got to see my dog and you know I just try to spend a couple little time with her you know I think she kind of gets my mind away from football a little bit I always keep brand new socks like I never rewear socks ever or underwear so I keep a lot of different packs of socks and underwear more socks these are my Camp Essentials though you know I'm a little bit of a perfectionist for real cuz I kind of feel like everything supposed to go a certain way and you know I feel like I put the work in for certain things to go certain ways so I kind of came in just with the mindset of like do not come off as a rooky like even though I am but like I just want to be like like show that on for sure all right guys we get started here we've got our owner here here Mr shod KH and of course Tony's here so Mr Khan you've got the podium oh thank you well thank you Doug so it's my privilege here to welcome all of you to the training camp for the Jaguars our 30th year about a month ago we celebrated the city's partnership with the Jaguars and the approval of funding for the new stadium of the future so I met with the reporters and the discussion obviously quickly turned to football and and I was quoted for us winning now is expectation so really I've been looking forward to tonight to set the record straight I was not misquoted and let me just repat winning now is the expectation make no mistake this is the best team assembled by the Jacksonville Jaguars ever best players best coaches but most importantly let's prove it by winning now thank you Mr KH and um he's right he's right the opportunities right in front of us it's about winning you know we're in this business to win and to win now so and that's our goal uh each and every day as we strive does it mean we're going to be perfect no it's not going to be perfect but we're going to strive for greatness 3 2 for me as a coach you're trying to set the tone for the regular season you know you're you're trying to build a foundation for not only how we start the year but also how we finish the year come on now hey don't let your demeanor change out of the Huddle guys still got to don't let your demeanor change attack the line of scrimmage right come on don't walk out don't walk out training camp um can bring your team closer together you're going to have some tough days out there when it's hot you know guys are guys could be best friends but they could also fight on the field right I mean it could happen yeah but it is building the foundation and it's building for down the road it's not building necessarily for September it's more building for December and January let's do it I just got drafted like I just got drafted again let's go we stay up protect each other here we go it's going to be one of them days long day embrace the ground yeah and treat it like a game bro training camp I think the best way to describe is like anytime you have to do anything for just say a month straight your body is going to be beat up your mind is kind of fighting against itself everybody knows camp sucks all this whole it's it was 102 Dees outside it's terrible but it's like a necessary evil like you have to go through really hard things to be ready for when really hard things come it's a 12-hour shift man [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he we all out here growing that's a training camp experience you say leave the same way you can train your weakness all strength that's what I'm doing that's what I'm doing job just go they can throw us in the dirt we going to survive they can leave us out down our loan we going to survive I'm going come back King the [Music] jungle I'm good we got one1 after this after this we probably would have already did them before we went to team yeah damn bro I was looking forward to one one you know coming to League you try to like when you go into training camp or stuff like that your first one obviously you basically just want to come in and learn a lot I feel like when I do oneone like that's when I like try different techniques like you know like how you know how you think about stuff at night you be like Oh I'm going to try that tomorrow you doing I just you just want to learn a lot you know make some mistakes so you can learn from but also you want to be you know what I'm saying showing what you can do so I think I'm doing a vast majority of [Music] both oh damn hey St hydrated damn St hydrated let go Domin you know right now I'm just trying to pick up on All the Small Things CU I definitely believe that the difference between a rookie and the vet is just the experience so if I could try to pick up all the experience from everyone in this short period of time then I be you know say I be ready to [Music] go damn hey coach I'm had to get offz like I I I pressed him and I was outside but he got so much room he just did a wide release and just took off yeah same give a mind me a lot of myself coming out like just his athleticism how fast he is how he like to compete good day good day good day you the best I uh help out when I feel like I can or when I like need to it ain't just from the line I'm talking about the top of the rad like like you know I'm like this I look at the formations they in what they doing out of it I'm learning myself you know with this sport you constantly learning again remember this knowing like as you go up each level and run give them a move and go give a move and go just doing that it gets harder each and every step hard inside and then try to get if you have to go inside great then just get back out with width but use your speed being in the meeting with Christian and Gabe and seeing how like they're talking through like how they would run certain routs to be able to hear that and uh go out there and apply it to my game it just means a lot and it's a big help for me I'm attacking bro you know what I'm saying you got to get on slow down a little bit and just kind of let him run like for me again it's the leadership right they they've been there done that and what they do is they teach the younger player they teach the rookie like no this is our culture this is what we do hey Tyson on your receiver update you was off a little bit you was on you know I'm just trying to pass it along some things I've learned along the way playing the game so that's the least I can do but you know I just really want each and every guy in my room to go beyond what they can make for hey man man to learn from your mistakes keep man take care your B man do with the energy today man keep that going man it's going to get harder and harder we got to continue reading on each other man hey de block on block DB [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah them boys are back I miss these boys man like I don't really don't get no better like I love Fort State and I'm in dead at to Fort State like forever what up y'all boy my brother boy up boy man what's happening with you you know just seeing some of those guys out there working hard obviously they going to be next to transition into the NF field but just seeing those guys out there seeing coach Norville and it just brought back so many memories of you know my time in college and uh course no he hasn't Chang it at all like the first thing he said to me was detail detail technique going well yes sir yes sir yes sir he lik it when you yell aty love you guys I I think I just talk to the Brotherhood that we kind of have like everyone that transitions out of for the state like Each one teach one so that's why the relationship with d so good hey man it's my little brother man you know from mother and father FS Legend man we doing it how we do it you feel my brother real FS last year for real the first time that I met him uh was my senior night at Florida State he came back for a game and so we had this picture that we took on the sideline and uh when I got drafted here he posted it and he was like it's that time and I was like Darby is definitely there from the time that I got drafted to this point now like he's been there for me with everything that I got going on like football-wise he's in my ear about everything I do he holds me to a standard of you are great and you are going to be great so if I do anything that ties away from that he's going to be on me about it you know so I just think having him in the room with me is just like I couldn't ask for anything but yeah I got him under of my way I think that was one of those moments that I needed especially at this point in Camp I think it was one of those moments to just so really soak everything in just know like okay you came a long way feel when we went out for warm-ups I took a lap around the field taking deep brushes like taking the in the field and everything all my emotions just kind of like came over [Music] me I had to run in go to the bathroom and I just start crying I a really want nobody to see me crying I just started crying I was just like you didn't came a long way many people don't really know the journey like what I don't really came from stuff like that but that was one of those moments where I was like bro you done came so far and so it kind of made me grateful for I am now and it kind of put that in my mind like let's do it you are definitely exactly where you're supposed to be and not everybody got to pay for it and we welcome you to EverBank stadium we've got football live football here at the bank a team that made a lot of changes in the off season and kind of getting off the deck after a tough end of last season every year is different but this team needs something positive to happen in the preseason into Chief's territory inside the 40 yd line still on his feet Crossing Round TR etm into the end zone touchdown Su Lawrence a Travis etm is going to get him on the ground that will be a sack for the Jacksonville all the way to the 22 yd line that is good running of the T that ball is caught somehow at the 40 yd line of the Kansas City [Applause] chief it's a big confidence booster just to see them that excited for me just know that you can go out there and make these plays you can go out there and actually do this his first time on a big stage like that and to capitalize in that moment I was even more happy than he probably was build his confidence let that thing grow let his head be huge he needs it you know what I mean that's what we're trying to do that describes the team like you could see the joy you can see the real love and the Brotherhood of them being there for you and clapping for you when you do good or even when you do bad there to pick you up I think that builds a team into something that you really can't break [Music] on [Music] bro ass over [Music] hey preseason or not wins a win man we you love it right [Applause] huh hey it's a great job what what I see out there what I see out there is what you do out on the practice field every single day and that's work hard against each other okay it doesn't matter who you're going to play against you you just you just ball out and you keep playing defense played fast off offense played fast special teams new kickoff rule the whole thing bunch of crazy stuff happen but great job team effort right complimentary football all right that's what you do complimentary football and You Come Away with a wi all right this is just the tip of the iceberg there's so much below that we can expose okay as a football team but great job all right and the new guys in here one way we end this thing is we give a little doall out little little shout okay bro you ready 1 2 3 all right guys hey I want to go through uh real quick just just recap um our game congratulations on the game Saturday night against Kansas City great opportunity um obviously to kick off our preseason and to uh to get off on the on the right foot there's some things to clean up is there not I showed you some good stuff but you guys saw the tape today right there's some things we got to do better that's why we practice that's why we're prees your hard work and preparation pays off in games okay it pays off here's the challenge you got to do it again this week okay and then you got to do it again next week this is not a oneand done thing you see what I'm saying but hey all we do is roll up our sleeves around here and go to work I don't care I want sit here at 0 again with another opportunity this week okay another opportunity this week I had made my mind up when I was putting the schedule together that I wanted to have joint practice and really kind of send a message to the football team that we still haven't done anything and that's the mindset that there's still work to be done the only way we can do it is to continue to to work together continue to build have tough physical practices and bring this team together [Music] the competitiveness goes up a notch ping is another team that you might end up playing during the season going back to last year we didn't we didn't play well against him so I think I send it back everybody's mind M it's about just a certain dominance that ball is going to be caught for the touchdown Parker Washington of Jacksonville strikes first Chad Muma absolutely stuck Buy Irving best defensive play of the game for the Jaguars he'll lose a yard on first down he's going to get sacked the Jags got him at the 45 yd line breand speaks got him coming off to the left Edge he read the blit he hit brev Easton for a 31 yd touchdown [Applause] jar and Jones shaken up a little bit he's he got I think he got hit in the nose in the face you don't want see anybody injured but that's the reality of this game guys are going to get injured we got a man down I think that's ventrell Miller ventr Miller some are shortterm some are longer term hopefully none our career ending uh but there's always that chance you know if you're a football player you're going to you're going to be hurt at some point I guess that's why you take 90 guys to training camp because you're going to need everybody to get through [Music] Camp They do change the the the roster the complexion of the roster at times but you got to be able to adapt you know the next man up statement is is true you know when somebody goes down the next guy's got to step up the best teams are the deepest teams and the and the teams that can fill the voids when somebody does go down it's all part of it training camp being able to teach your team how to push through injuries where we're not going to hurt you further but at the same time I want you to understand that you might not be 100% going into this game on Sunday and and I still need your best effort it's the part of the game that that I appreciate from them their willingness to sacrifice themselves sometimes for you know for the for the good of the team 40 y from the left hash for Brandon McMahon as he kicks it up and the 40-yd field goal is good and Jacksonville is on the board first uh-oh got a guy down on the ground and I believe that that's Cooper Hodes slow to get up after that field goal and the Jaguars I know they don't want to see any more injuries with their offensive line especially after this week at the end of the day we have to accept like this is a nasty sport you know injuries happen always concerning when you look at a knee with a young player with such promise well and then he needed to be helped off the field I mean he has a guy on either side of if you go through one season without getting an injury like that's that's lucky you know what I mean like that's just the nature of the game get a different perspective of like how quickly you know things can change hey it's just a knap bud you don't have to act like it's like this bige you're fine dude hey I love you you'll be all right all right if you looked at it like oh you know I had a season in injury my rookie ear I'm done for blah blah blah you don't understand how powerful your mind is you just have to fight through pain you have to get used to it the support system that I have through my vets Phil just the whole training staff people that understand what you're going through like that sense of community like what you got the Brotherhood aspect of it it really helps just ease you like give you comfort they just try not to take it for Grant I just enjoy every every minute of it the good stuff the bad stuff all of it so um just thankful to be out there so the Jags win it 20-7 over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this second preseason game of the year yeah listen it's preseason and anytime you stop on the field you always want to win winning is better than losing but it's not the highest priority the highest priority is get in the Rhythm build confidence and make sure you stay healthy get to the start line with all your Frontline guid all right good morning uh for those of you yeah I always encourage the guys always put their best foot forward and and anytime they get an opportunity to practice or play in a game no matter how long they play make those reps count we're going this our first road trip all right first road trip so it's got to be a business-like mentality preseason or not right it's a business-like mentality we're going there for one reason one reason only to win a football game you go win the game just like you have these last couple weeks you go win the game right this is a great opportunity for you now sort of that last dress rehearsal so to speak to get yourself in that frame of mind to start a football game and play extensively right put that Jersey on and go play and we welcome you at a mercedesbenz stadium in Atlanta one last preseason game let do it have a day tra let's go have a day it's the last opportunity because 16 days away is the opener many guys aren't worried about the opener they're worrying about the cut down dat coming up next week well Jeff it's that time of year I mean guys are fighting for their job he's going to have an opportunity to prove their case to be one of them fires to the right side of the end zone that ball is incomplete I want to make sure this team is a smart football team we're not beating ourselves gets away from a rusher now he's going to scramble to his left away from the back you got I want to see our team be a physical football team caught for the touchdown on his head what we're putting on tape our opponents are seeing that go Brian go Brian because he's had meaningful reps in games already into the end zone touchdown gives another team confidence to say hey we want that guy on our roster there's 31 other teams and 31 other teams are watching the film from each of these three games out of timeouts I can still run plays CU I can still get a possible shot and they're going to have an opportunity if not here with one of those other 31 teams so every rep's important open good throw touchdown hit landed he's in bounds yes touchdown [Music] yes so uh that'll do it they took a knee one more time did EJ Perry and the two teams will now shake hands the Jags wanted their starters to get a little bit of work they did and the Jags won the game easily and even when it was backups versus backups the Jags dominated the game they're going to win the game 31 to nothing well and now that this is over again 16 days to the opener in Miami long time that's a long time and roster cut Downs to 53 by Tuesday at 400 p.m. practice squads will be set up after that but but that's a lot of time to massage a roster hey give yourselves a hand man nice little shut out win to M preseason man great job as your head coach I appreciate every single man standing in this room okay you got we we've got we've got tough decisions to make you guys made it hard on us and that's all we ask you to do is to come to work every single day and bust your tail and that's what you've done right and now we got to make tough decisions here in the next couple of days and it's never easy it's never easy trust me it's not this is one of those for me anyway you lose sleep over this this time of the year I hate it I hate it but we got to get to 53 by Tuesday you guys understand that and for many of you okay in this room it's not the end it's not the end because of what youve put on tape right and and obviously there's practice squad and all that kind of stuff and and we got to put the best 53 and then the best 16 together as we roll that's just the nature of this game but from the bottom of my heart I'm telling you right now I appreciate the effort you guys gave from the offseason program all the way through even the new guys we' we've brought on to this football team guys have busted your tail okay coaches and players so I appreciate uh I I applaud you guys for the effort okay great job great job all right it's 9:15 10:00 we're rolling [Music] [Music] started good morning morning just a couple things I want you to think about I want you to think about our season I want you to think about how we want to start our season just don't lose the momentum momentum that you've built and you've created uh up to this up to this point keep focusing in keep getting better keep improving right with your teammates we had those we had those prce squ guys today they're part of this football team they're part of this club as well and uh and we rock and roll it feels like the right time to take the next step you kind of have to understand what the League what it takes and winning now makes the most sense I think we like to look at it as step by step first we got to win our division and we got to win our conference and then you know take it to the Super Bowl me personally I think the expectation is to win [Music] we putting in work every day to win uh I think we have the right people in place I think it's time for [Music] that I think this team right now is bigger it's physically stronger it's faster it appears to be a team willing to learn but again at the same time it's it's what do you do on Sundays you know we got 17 Sundays this year we're going to find out exactly how good we are
