Jaguars, Travis Hunter and Dolphins

The Jaguars have a whole new system and a bunch of new players. Building team chemistry will be instrumental to their success in the 2025 NFL season.
The Jaguars' last play in their joint practice against the Dolphins was their best one: Pressured second off of the snap, quarterback Trevor Lawrence avoided the pass rush in the pocket and fired a perfect downfield throw to stud wide receiver Brian Thomas in stride on an in-breaking route across the middle of the field.
Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel outlines plans for starters in the preseason finale vs. Jacksonville, plus more on Matthew Judon and Darren Waller.
The latest defender to be traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars found out he was being traded while in a game of Fortnite.
Another reason for optimism is turnovers. The Jaguars' nine takeaways were the fewest in football last season. Under new defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, the Jaguars are now a zone-heavy team with a vision-based approach on the back end. In short, this means keeping all eyes on the quarterback, which hopefully leads to more ball production.
Thursday's practice was an incredibly chippy and physical one, with at least three large fights forming and two more almost starting on the other side of the field. Dyami Brown tossed Jack Jones out of one scuffle, while another fight spilled from the field and partially into the indoor practice facility adjacent to the field.
