0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley with us after the first

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>day of training camp nineteen. How was it first day out?

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>It was good, you know, knocking a lot of rust

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>off guys getting in the huddle here on some of

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>those play calls again for the first time. It was

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>It was a good day. It was a good day.

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>It was very productive. Today was a winning practice. You know.

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>There wasn't too much flashy going on, but there was

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of hard work, a lot

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>of attention to detail, a lot of good corrections that

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>we're going in today. If we can continue to build

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>on what we have here today, it's gonna make us

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>a good football team. Nick Foles earlier was talking about

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the third installation of this offense. Is it easier the

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>third time around, and you can go out and on

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the field and actually put it in a little easier.

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>How does that work the third time around? Of course,

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the third time that you hear everything that goes in,

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>it makes it a lot, makes it simpler, Uh, it

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>makes things quicker, It makes you come out you're not

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>so much talking about what routes you have on each play.

0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>You you talk more so about the technique, the the

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>little things, the nuances of the offense, and you can

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>start to polish. And once this once this office gets

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>offense gets polished, it just gets faster, it gets more efficient,

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and you can start putting in wrinkles. And so we're

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.119
<v Speaker 1>at that point right now where we're just polishing things

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>up and we're trying to trying to take it day

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>by day, but but really critiqued the little things. What

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>is this offense going to be known for? What's the

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>bread and butter at the end of the day. Is

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>it too early to tell? I think it's too early

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>to tell. I think every every team has their own identity.

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>And uh, this offense staff and players is is very

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>very young in its life cycle. Um, and so we'll

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>we'll take time and just work on being consistent and

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and being good at at the things that we work at.

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I you it'll start taking shape. It

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>will starts taking shape and the next next month or so.

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Chris Connelly with this Jaguars wide receiver working with Keenan Mcardell.

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>You've been with him now for a few months here,

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>former receiver in the league, long time receiver in the league,

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>but your first season around him as a wide receiver's coach.

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>How is he to work with What does he do

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>on a day to day basis to make that wide

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>receiver room better? He's good, you know, coach McCardell as

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a worker. Uh, he's you have to be to be

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>in the league as long as he's been in the

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>league as a player. Uh. He really understands the ins

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and outs of the position and he brings that knowledge

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>out here on the field every day. Uh. He's a

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>good guy that you can take anything that you see,

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>any technique, any defense, uh, any route combination, and you

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>can you can bring it to him and you can

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>start talking about Okay, so this is what I saw,

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you think in this situation? And he can

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.920
<v Speaker 1>give you four or five different variations off of the

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>same play. Uh. And it really, it really adds a

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of tools to your toolbox as a as a technician,

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>as a receiver, and it makes it so that you

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>can come out here and you're not guessing. It makes

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it so you can attack what's on your checklist for

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow personally for you and do you have a daily

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>checklist of things you want to get done each practice

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:58.839
<v Speaker 1>or how does that work for a wide receiver. Yeah,

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, every day, I'd like to focus on one

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>or two things, one or two things that I that

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I've noticed from the practice film of the previous day

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>that I really want to focus on and really step

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>forward with. And so I don't have what will what

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>will be my tomorrow yet because we're getting off the

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>field right now. Once I go in here and I

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>watched this film, though, um, I'll be able to write

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>down a couple of things, uh, and a couple of

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>ways that I can practice at getting better at that.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Because if you can really focus on something and have

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>it before you, it makes it a lot easier for

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>you to actually, you know, get it done. Thanks, no problem,

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for having me
