1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Welcome into the j P. Shadrick Podcast. Today is Monday,

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: August thirteen. That coming up today, always good to talk

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: ball with the big man in the middle of the

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive line, tackle Marcel Darius By now you've heard

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: of the Jaalen Ramsey and Dante Faller junior suspensions. The

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: team did not announce a length for them, but national

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: reports have it at a week, which means they could

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: miss the practices this week in Minneapolis and Saturday's game

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. That announcement closed a heated Sunday at

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: the Dream Finders Homes practice complex. The practice that day

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: was in sweltering conditions and there were a number of

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: drops by receivers in the day. Then late in practice

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: came a scrum when James O'Shaughnessy the tight end was

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: hit hard by Jalen Ramsey. Well Dante Feller Jr. Came

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: in from the sideline, and then Blake Bortles entered the

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: fray and all the rest of the Jaguars. Not long

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: after that, a few plays later, practice ended, and then

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: the post practice incidents began, with Quay and Fowler squaring

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: off and Ramsey verbally attacking the media on the field

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: just to begin at the end of the day. This

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: locker room is filled with alpha males and they're trying

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: to be the best, and they're under a lot of

23
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: pressure to get it done on the field. This year.

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Things get heated from time to time. It wasn't the

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: first and it won't be the last camp fight. Now

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: Fowler and Ramsey get some time away from training camp

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: to think about it, and the Jaguars are moving on

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: to Minnesota, and what feels like a pretty good time

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: to get away. This feels like a good opportunity this

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: week for the Jags to measure themselves against a team

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: that went just as far as they did a year ago.

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Two good days of work in the practice fields against

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: the Vikings before Saturday's game in Minneapolis. Now we quickly

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: get to a visit with Jaguars defensive tackle Marcel Darius.

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: We caught up Saturday after practice and always great to

36
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: talk football with him. It was another hot onood on

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: Saturday as well, and we'll get into his eighth training

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: camp in the NFL, what his daily goals are for

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: practice and what this team expects to do in twenty eight.

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Team your eight NFL training camp. How is this one

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: compared to maybe the previous seven in terms of your

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: stamina and your ability to be out there day after day.

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: How does this one compare to the past? The big

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: difference is the heat. Haven't been out here and you

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: haven't been out here and heat like this since Mold

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: College days, UM and playing early in the season some

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: of the teams in Florida when the heat is like this,

48
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: we being out here day in the day out it

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: takes a toll on you, takes some getting used to UM.

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's just getting acclimated to it. UM.

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: This is the workload is a part of the workload

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: outside of just having the workload UM, but it brings

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the camaraderie with the guys where we're close and we

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: know we all have to be out here and we

55
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: all and we know we all have to endure UM

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: for what we're trying to get done for the season.

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: As a as an eighth year player, how do you

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: balance playing time in the preseason getting your work in

59
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: with staying ready for a Week one because we know

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: you want to play something, but we want you ready

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: for a Week one against the Giants. How do you

62
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: balance that as an eighth or guy here, Oh, you

63
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: just you gotta when you come into you come into

64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: your home stadium like we did a couple of days ago.

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: It just you gotta gotta gotta control your your anxiousness.

66
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: You're just just being so anxious and just I like

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: to call I like to say your readiness, like you're

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: so ready, but you gotta gotta hone it in, you can't.

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: You just gotta you only got a couple of players

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: to let it go. Then you gotta gotta really all

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: back in and cheer. So it's like you're looking at

72
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: you're looking at a guy like Danny that that that

73
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: that that move didn't work for next job. There's no

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: next job, so you don't really get into the full

75
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: of mind state, but you get a taste of it,

76
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: and it just makes you ready for the next game.

77
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: I guess this defense there's a it's a talented group. Obviously,

78
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: we know that. You guys know that. I think, how

79
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: do you not get to ahead of that, you know,

80
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: and continue to put the work in every day and

81
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: not rest on what you guys did last year, because

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: that could be that could be easy to do, But

83
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: it seems like This group is focused and poised to

84
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: be one of the great units effort, which seems like

85
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: that's the goal, right. The goal is just to be

86
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: the best that we can possibly be. We're not in

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: any competition with anyone else. We're just in competition with ourselves.

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: What we did last year, it was last year. That's

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: not even the same team. So it's a whole new Google,

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: whole new unit, um communications Stars all over again. It's

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: a completely new relationship. You broke up from your girl

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: last year. You got your new girl and you're trying

93
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: to work on communication and you want things to go right.

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: So we're gonna see how how things go. And we're

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: just we're just studying making this bond strong. The day

96
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: to day is veteran. You you have something probably you

97
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: want to work on a training camp, you'll go out

98
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: with maybe a checklist of things. Being this far into

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: it in your career, I mean, you still have things

100
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: you want to work on on a daily basis out here,

101
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: and what have you been working on lately at camp?

102
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: I got I have a checklist. It's just a small

103
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: checklist of things I know I want to be at

104
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: once the balls on over, once the season gets get going. Um,

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: so it's just marking down my checklist. And I always

106
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: want to have timing. Mine is all timing. Some people

107
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: who have get off. Mine is all timing. Is just

108
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: getting that beat, getting that time, and getting that rep. Oh,

109
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: just focusing in on the little things that I have

110
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: to prepare for the next day. The guys across from

111
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: you on this Jaguar's offensive line. Um, take us through

112
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: the play of Brandon Lender so far in camp, highest

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: paige center in the league, but pretty good player two

114
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: at that center position. How's he been and how's it

115
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: how's been the battle inside against him? Well, he's a

116
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: good guy. He's pretty smart. Um. I love his balance,

117
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: his hands placement. Um. When I say balance, I mean

118
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: like his body control. I mean he's a hard no

119
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: smart guy, no nonsense. It's just just like he just

120
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: has fun with it. Man. That's why I liked the

121
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: most about him. I love it this. This doesn't work

122
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: to me. This is fun and I can I can

123
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: play with Linda and price with Linda every day all

124
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: day because we know what we're doing with each other's Like, okay,

125
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: hand placement, hand place, If I got you, he tried

126
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: to get it back and not get him back or

127
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: he get me back. So it's it's a neat, it's

128
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: a it's a good way of playing the game before

129
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: the game gets here. Um. He's a great guy too

130
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: to practice and to work with. UM, just like Eric

131
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: Wood and Buffalo pretty good center. UM and Linda is

132
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: really good. And I just love work being able to

133
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,520

136
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: for you? What does that do for the team? Changes

137
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the tone of practice a little bit when you get

138
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: in the trenches against another uniform. Right, it is what

139
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: it is. I just look as another practice. Just just

140
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,480
