1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars wide receivers coach Chad Hall is with us. It's

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: week two of training camp. The fans seem to like

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: number zero. How do you like number zero?

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 2: I love zero, you know. I mean he's out here

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: working his ass off, and that's that's what it's about

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: right now, trying to get better every day, and he's

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: straining to do that. He wants every rep he wants.

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: He wants to him and Trevor learning each other, you know,

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: especially his body language, how he gets open, but he

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: wants it, you know, and he just he just wants

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: to work. And he's a dog. He's willing in the

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: running game. He's just he's fun to coach.

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: Do you have to maybe hold him back from himself

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: a little bit this early in camp? Or is this

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: the time to let it loose?

16
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: No, I mean it's a little bit of both. It's

17
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: a little bit of give and take. You know, you

18
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 2: want them to get as many reps as they can.

19
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: But you know it's early on. I mean, but all

20
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: three of those guys, him, Zay Christ and they're just

21
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: trying to more. We want more, and yeah, I got

22
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: to hold all of them back a little bit. But

23
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: that's what you want. You don't want to push him

24
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: to get in there. It's a lot easier holding them back,

25
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: and we got we got great guys in the room.

26
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Have you seen Ridley change from when you first got

27
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: your hands on him in the off season program to

28
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: now in training camp. I know he was being held

29
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: back a little bit at the end of the off season,

30
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: but is he He was talking about the pain in

31
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: his legs. He has to feel that again. Are you

32
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: seeing that out of him so far?

33
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a lot different once you get

34
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: once he learns the offense, and we've been moving him around,

35
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: but you can play a lot faster when you hear

36
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: the call and know what you're doing instead of thinking.

37
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: So you're getting i mean everything, all this twitch, explosiveness.

38
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: We're moving him around. But yeah, and he's got to

39
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: get back into even practice shape before game shape, like

40
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: he's talking about. He hadn't done this in a while,

41
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: so it's good for him to go day to day

42
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: and fight through it and get his body used to it.

43
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Seems like Zay Jones is bigger. He told me the

44
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: other day he's been in the weight room a little

45
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: bit this offseason. How can that help his game big time.

46
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: We asked him to do everything. You know, he's kind

47
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: of like our Swiss army knife. He inside, outside, block

48
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: and whatever we need, he's you know, in between the whistles,

49
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: he probably works harder than anyone I've ever been around.

50
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: He's just every single play he's gonna give give the

51
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: team all he's got, whether it's a run, play, pass play,

52
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: whatever it is.

53
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: And he looks great. Yeah, he's He's bigger, faster, stronger.

54
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk could have more of an inside feel most

55
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: of the year. I mean he can move around. He

56
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: was smart enough and good enough to do that last year,

57
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: but considering the addition, that could be a good thing

58
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: for Christian. How strong of a slot receiver is he

59
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: compared in the league? You know, where does he stand

60
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: for you?

61
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: You know, that's like one of the first things you

62
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: notice on tape is his play strength. You know, a

63
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: guy will be on him and dB event on him

64
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: and he can separate at the top just with his strength.

65
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: He's got great lower body strength, great upper body strength.

66
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: He's very very top and fast, like almost deceptive like

67
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 2: he can go. So there's a lot to cover with him.

68
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta cover the first five YEP routes

69
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: because of his quickness, but he can take you over

70
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: the he can get behind the defense. So yeah, we're

71
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: gonna move him around as well. I mean, all three

72
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: of those guys are gonna play all.

73
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Three spots, kind of like Chad Hall.

74
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: Back in his I tried, I tried.

75
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, So let's get to a rookie now,

76
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Parker Washington. You know, there's an idea at least at

77
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: the first the three guys we talked about Jamal Agnew. Okay,

78
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: so who else is making this roster? Parker's draft pick?

79
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: What have you seen out of him so far?

80
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: At the wide receivers, he's been great. He's consistently getting

81
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: better every day. You know, you gotta learn the speed

82
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: of the NFL. It's it's tough at the wide receiver

83
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: position going from college to the NFL. I mean, it's

84
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: a lot of more off coverage in college, you know,

85
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: and he's got great instincts when it's zone. But now

86
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: they're more in your face, pressing you up. You gotta

87
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: release their longer faster. So but he's done really well.

88
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: He's very smart. He can he can see the defense.

89
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: He knows what to do, So that was just giving

90
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: him reps and reps and reps so he can have

91
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: more and more confidence.

92
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: And there's a challenge for a lot. There's a lot

93
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: of big, tall guys on this team that are trying

94
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: to crack the roster. Right if there's five or six

95
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: receivers that make it okay, practice squad is out there.

96
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: What else has stood out the first week of camp.

97
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: It's hard to tell without pads or can you see

98
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: some things out of those six four six foot five guys?

99
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're fighting, I mean all three you know. Shoot,

100
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 2: we got a bunch. We got a bunch of guys

101
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: you know, over six two. But and they're doing really well.

102
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: They're we're doing really well on special teams. That's half

103
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: of it. But for me, they're all improving, they're becoming,

104
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: you know, better route run, they're really focusing on their craft,

105
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: and you know, it's gonna be a tight race. And

106
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: we got a bunch of guys fighting for that spot.

107
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: And really the best part about it is everyone is

108
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: just trying to get better. Everyone is trying to get

109
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: each other better. The other guys are coaching the other

110
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: guys up. So it's not there's not a competition in

111
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: our room. There's a competition against the defense, but you know,

112
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: it is what it is. Might maybe five six spots,

113
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: but we're trying to get every single guy of ours

114
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: on a roster somewhere. That's that's everybody's goal. So it's

115
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: just a great room and everyone's rooting on each other

116
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: and we're just trying to get better every day. All right.

117
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: Finally, you are you would you consider yourself more of

118
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: a technical wide receiver, coach footwork, hands or above the

119
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: shoulders mental approach or a mix of both?

120
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: Oh?

121
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Both?

122
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: What's your calling card? I mean, first and foremost, you

123
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: don't know what you're doing. I'm not gonna put you

124
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: out there. And I stress to them they got to

125
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: know all the spots and that's something they can control,

126
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: and that's the mental The knowing what to do is

127
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: you can control. You can't control the defense, you can't

128
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: control the physical mistakes, but the mental part you can control.

129
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: So anyone who needs extra work there with me, you know,

130
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: on the off time, so when it's time to go,

131
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: they're ready to go. Because you don't know what you're doing,

132
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: you can't play fast and you're not gonna You're just

133
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: not gonna do well in between the whistles. But technique wise,

134
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: you already know what you're gonna do. Yeah, I'm a

135
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: huge technician because that's how you better. You get starts

136
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: of the line and then the break appointmentchanks. I mean,

137
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: we coach it all from pre snap, reading the defense,

138
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 2: to the release to getting open. I mean, so I'm both.

139
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: I try to give them everything I can and again

140
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get better every day as well. Whatever

141
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: I can learn from other people, I'm trying to learn

142
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: as well.
