1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Time for our weekly conversation with Pride of the Jaguars 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: running back Fred Taylor. The Jaguars and the Cleveland Browns. 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: It's preseason week one and we're back at the bank. Fred. 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: What's up? JP? Man back at the bank. You know 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: what that means is football season. Let's get it. Let's 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: get it. Indeed, and it means some of these starting 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: football players will see some time on the field tonight 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: against the Browns. That's good news. Doug Peterson said that 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: on Wednesday in this press conference that includes the quarterback 10 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence will get his first game action in the preseason. 11 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: What do you want to see out of Trevor in 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: game one of the preseason, actually game two for the 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: Jags his first game. You know what I would love 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: to see JP is uh a touchdown on the first 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: NAPA they game. But realistically, UH, that doesn't always happened 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: that way. It's a hard league. It certainly isn't easy. Now. 17 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: I just like to see him get out their command 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: the huddle, you know, show that he still has control 19 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: of command over the huddle. I want to see them 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: go fast, get guys out in their positions, and UH 21 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: just snapketball play football is you know, their second preseason game, 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: but for Trevor, it will be his first action this year, 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: first action in coach Peterson's new system. So I like 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: to see how well they communicate, you know, at this 25 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: point of the season, from the sideline, you know, head coach, 26 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: the play caller to the quarterback, et cetera. I'd like 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: to see him come out healthy in his limited role. 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: And uh, that's about it. So we understand his first 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: or second preseason game, but his first action, so we 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: don't we're not going to ask for much of him, 31 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: but we do want to see that the mechanics of 32 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: it all, you know, or where they should be at 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: this point in the season. Fred Taylor with us. Same 34 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: goes for Travis c tn Jr. Who, of course was 35 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: injured last preseason, that's the entire regular season with the 36 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: list frank injury. But he's back. He's been back in 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: training camp. He didn't play last week, and you can 38 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: just tell by the way he's going about it and 39 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: talking to him that he's fired up to just play 40 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: in some kind of football game. I think, finally, yeah, 41 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking forward to that as well. I 42 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: haven't had an opportunity to see him as a pro. 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: I haven't had much of an opportunity to see him 44 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 1: in practice. You know, I've gonna wait, but I've seen 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: some clips. You know, he's running around, He's you know, 46 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: energetic and optimistic. That's what I love. I want to 47 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: see that. He how he and James Robinson, you know 48 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: how they could you know, share the load once both 49 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: of those guys are completely healthy out there. But again, 50 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: the same thing that I mentioned with Trevor, just like 51 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: to see him get out there and get some snaps, 52 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: show his versatility and his no dynamic ability out of 53 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: the backfield, but also come away injury free. You know, 54 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: with all of these guys, that's my focus, man. I know, 55 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: it's football. They have to get out there, try to 56 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: not some rust off and try to create some timing, 57 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: et cetera. But more importantly for me, especially with preseason, 58 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: I want to see these guys come out injury free 59 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: and that's key. But everybody held their breath when Tyson 60 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: Campbell went down in camping on Thursday night. But talking 61 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: to him this week, hey, they said they're gonna get 62 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: too serious. He wanted the two series. That's a mindset 63 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: thing right for a lot of these guys. And I 64 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: know you know Tyson well from his younger days, just 65 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: getting into his head this week. He knows he has 66 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: a starting role on this team, but what he has 67 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: an opportunity to go out and play. That's just how 68 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: he's wired. You gotta go out there and play and 69 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: fight through some stuff. Of course, we're we're definitely all 70 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: happy that Tyson didn't get injured. Um, but that's the 71 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: mentality you want from your players. We we had an 72 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: opportunity to sit down with t J. Watt, Mr, you 73 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: know all everything for our podcast over there a few 74 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: days back. You know, he said, hey, I'm not practicing 75 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: a lot, but you know I want to practice and 76 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: I want to be a part of this. I want this, 77 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: you know. And that's what you want to hear from 78 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: your starters. And you're the guys that you're depending on. 79 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: You don't want to hear guys, you know, get excited 80 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: when coach saying, hey you gotta day off. You know, 81 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: you want those guys that are want to go out there, 82 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: that want to play, they want to compete, they want 83 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: to work more importantly, so, UM, you know Tyson, he's 84 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: just wired that way. He's always been that way. Uh, 85 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: he's going into the year two. So for me, year 86 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: two was miles away from year one. You know, just 87 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: in terms of awareness, you know, just that confidence and 88 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you be wrong. You know, 89 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: you want to let everyone else know that you belong 90 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: and you know, having that, I want to play. I 91 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: need to play mindset, it's what it's all about. With 92 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: the CB and the roofs changes, JP, guys don't get 93 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: a lot of time, you know, out there and practicing 94 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: on the field. It's not like the days of old. 95 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: You know, they barely get time and pads. I think 96 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: it's a few padded practices throughout camp. I think I 97 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: hear something like there's an eleven hour rule when you 98 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: can be on the field and all that other crate. 99 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to be a math major now 100 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: in order to be an athlete out there to keep 101 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: up with that stuff. But the bottom line is these 102 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: guys want to play, and I don't blame there was 103 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: no eleven hour rule in thousand. I'm guessing right, there 104 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: wasn't much in nine except uh, coaches can keep you 105 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: out there for as long as they want and one 106 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: of my favorite persons on the planet and uh, one 107 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: of my favorite coaches in Tom Coughland. Hey, the eleven 108 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: our rule, I don't know if that will work with him. 109 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: He'd probably be a pill and that every chance he'd get, uh, 110 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: he would lose. Obviously, he would lose those appeals because 111 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: they did a pretty decent job with the CBA. But still, um, 112 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: it didn't exist in my day, JP. Uh, And thankfully, 113 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, I was able to actually just get out 114 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: there and go. I practiced my butt off and I 115 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: played my butt off. Fred Taylor, proud of the Jaguards 116 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: running back, is with us to that point a little bit. 117 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: You said, there's only a few padded practices in training camp. 118 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: I rule. Well, in a practice Sunday after two days 119 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: off following the Hall of Fame game, Doug Peterson cranked 120 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: up the intensity a little bit. They had to live periods, 121 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: and apparently, like the first play, Andre Cisco decleted Travis 122 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: Etn on the sideline and okay, I guess we're really 123 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: live now, So he's gonna do that a couple of times. 124 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: I think there's another one coming next week, Fred, but 125 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: it might tell you a little more about your team, 126 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: how they respond to a situation like that, not trying 127 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: to hurt the guy across room. But you gotta see 128 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: something out of these guys when those physical practices come. 129 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. I think it's a great 130 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: call by coach Peterson. You know, we need to see 131 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: where you at. Whether it's my mind simply by mindset, 132 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, physicality. We don't have a lot of these practices. 133 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, we need to see that the lineman are 134 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: gonna get in there, They're gonna have proper footwork, hat placement, 135 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: you know, and they got to get in there and 136 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: they got to tangle up with these guys. You know, 137 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: back in the day, there was a turn I think 138 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: can still probably use now because coaches still have a 139 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: lot of coaches still have old school mindset, you know, 140 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: and and they want to see contact. They want to 141 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: see some physicality. They don't want to see um wrestling 142 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: and you know that that that that fake stuff. They 143 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: want to see football, right, real old school football. I 144 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: think the players wanted to you know, those guys want 145 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: to hit, you know, they want to see where they are. 146 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: They want to see that their angles are proper, and uh, 147 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, their hat placement. You know, when they're tackling, 148 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: it's proper, their pad level is proper. Uh. And when 149 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: it's goal time, it's it's goal time. And uh the 150 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: other day it was goal time, and uh, you know Cisco, 151 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, he woke Travis up, and I'm sure Travis 152 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be, you know, ready for the next time 153 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: they go at it. Fred final thought here going into 154 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: officially preseason week one, the second game for the Jaguars, 155 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: We'll take away number sixteen from this equation. But beyond him, 156 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: who are you most excited to see on the field 157 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: against the Browns? JP, um throw you stole my thunder 158 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: right there, you know, because I'm rooting for six team. 159 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: Man definitely excited to see whenever he gets ready. But uh, man, um, 160 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: I want to see e t N. I hadn't had 161 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity to see him out there. I'm biased obviously 162 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: as a running back. I want to see him bounce around. 163 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: I want to see some explosiveness. I want to see, 164 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, if they can cog the player too to 165 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: get creative in the past game and give him the 166 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,359 Speaker 1: opportunity out there to show his hands and that versatility, 167 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: because coming in he was compared to Alvin Camara, So 168 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: I want to see some of that because I enjoyed 169 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: watching Camara's game, so I would I would say he 170 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: is the one person that I'm looking forward to see. Well, 171 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: we're looking forward to seeing you at the bank, and 172 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: i'll see you on the video boards coming up.
