1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: You seem excited, enthusiastic about where this team left off

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: last year and the possibilities ahead, certainly on offense. What

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: makes you so optimistic about this group?

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: I think because of you know, the type of guys

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: that we have in our group, and just the approach

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: day in and day out, spending time with one another

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: off the field, and just the like cohesiveness we have

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: as a group, I think will hold us together and

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: it sets the tone. Everybody's on the same page. You know,

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: when we come out here to be the best group

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: and that's our standard. And so you know, when you

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: have guys like that in a group to be able

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: to push one in each other and on days when

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: another guy's not playing to the level of our standard,

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: those guys are gonna bring them with, you know, because

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: you're only as good as your worst guy, and so

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: you know, for us, it's just attacking every day and

18
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: you know, being able to scratch the surface of what

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: we can be last year into this year, I think

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: there's a lot of expectations from us to go out

21
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: and you know, perform at a high.

22
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: Level going into year six. How different are you feeling

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: than you were, say, year one, Year two, in the NFL.

24
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Now you've you've been at this for.

25
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: A while, way different, way different. I'm a little more

26
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: chill on day one, you know, just taking it day

27
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: by day, not trying to kill myself on the first

28
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: day because I know it's a long camp, and you know,

29
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: just being smart, being efficient, making the plays when they

30
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: come to me. But also, you know, honestly this camp,

31
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: just focusing more on being a leader, being more of

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: a vocal leader, and you know, just teaching these guys

33
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: and coaching these guys up to the level of our

34
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: sander and what we do here, and you know, pushing

35
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: ourselves to be the best group in the league. That's

36
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: our goal right now. So it's definitely a different role.

37
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying it and like I said, just taking it

38
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: day by day.

39
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: Let's start with Ridley. How different is he now? All

40
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden with the route running and the stop startability,

41
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: everything he brings is just a different gear on.

42
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: You know, he operates at a different level of movement,

43
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: as we like to say, you know, but just his

44
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: explosiveness and to be able to have that on the outside,

45
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: to be able to put a guy out there one

46
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,279
Speaker 2: on one and tear a part of defense. Just adds

47
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: to the dynamic ability of what we're able to do

48
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: because we have so many different guys that can burn

49
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: you in different ways. It's gonna be it's gonna be

50
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: hard for defenses to prepare, but you know, for us,

51
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: it's just you know, maximizing our ability. But he had

52
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: a great day today and you know, I'm excited to

53
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: see where he goes from from here.

54
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: But back to the group now as a whole with

55
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: him in it, and Ingram just signed his deal, so

56
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: throw him into the mix too. There's one football Yeah,

57
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: we talked about that a lot last year. You guys

58
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: handled that pretty well, it felt like. But it's all

59
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: about the team and the offense move and ahead. Just

60
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: to keep everybody on the same thing.

61
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we said it last year. It's check

62
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: your ego in at the door. Uh. And that's gotta

63
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: be the key. If you're gonna have players like this,

64
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: it's gonna you know, everybody needs to get their own

65
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: and you know when that happens, that's how you win

66
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: football games. Uh. You know, one person is not gonna

67
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: win you a football game. There may be times where yeah,

68
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: one guy is gonna get relied on and you know

69
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: he's gonna carry us towards that way. But you know,

70
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: when we get into the playoffs and we get into

71
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: the nitty gritty and and you know, adversity starts to strike,

72
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: we need everybody. So you know, as a unit, you know,

73
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: we need to operate that way. Just kind of buy

74
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: into what we're doing and keep our long term goal

75
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: in sight.

76
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how much NFL Network or ESPN you watch,

77
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: or any of the preseason hype shows or any of that,

78
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: but most of those you watch, the Jaguars are the

79
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: favorites to win the AFC South. Do you guys buy

80
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: into that? Do you worry about that stuff? Is there

81
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: added pressure with that being the hunted team instead of

82
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: the team that's up and coming like you were last year?

83
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think the only apprehension to it is,

84
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: you know, guys looking into that and listening to that,

85
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: you know, because last year we weren't even in the conversation.

86
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: We were still in the conversation as being one of

87
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: the worst teams in the NFL. And so I remember

88
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: that feeling. I know all the other guys remember that feeling,

89
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: and you know, the motivation the edge that we had

90
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: to get to the point to where we need to

91
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: be and we can't lose that. You know, Doug said

92
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: it best yesterday in our team meeting. He said, you know,

93
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: greatness isn't about what you did, It's about what you're

94
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: going to do. And you know, we can't listen to

95
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: the noise. And when we win a couple games this season,

96
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: nobody's gonna stand up and cheer loud for us. They're

97
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: gonna say that's what they're supposed to do. And so

98
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: we just got to go out there and you know,

99
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: manage expectations and you know, control our energy and what

100
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: we do.

101
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: Final thought for today, getting to walk through this facility

102
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: for the first time in the last few days, what

103
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: do you think this is pretty spectacular?

104
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: I know, we're we're talking, we're joking around. It's almost

105
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: like we're only gonna be here for a little bit.

106
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: We gotta leave. You know, it still doesn't It's like

107
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: when you move into a new home. You're still trying

108
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: to figure out all the kinks, don't know where the

109
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: bathrooms are, and I'm walking around namelessly. I don't know

110
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: where to go half the time. But it's beautiful, you know,

111
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: being able to show up to work and you know,

112
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: have somewhere like this, have the fans out here and

113
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: the energy that they bring is just so cool. And

114
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: I'm glad, you know, the Jaguarars. Jaguars have been around

115
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: for a while. To be you know, the first player

116
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: that's in this building, I think it's pretty cool. So

117
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: it's it's a really cool moment for this organization, for

118
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: the city, and like I said, it's it's a blessing

119
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: to be a part of it.
