What did we see during the Jaguars' first Saturday practice of training camp?
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense continued their week-long dominance of the offense on Saturday, closing out the first week of training camp.
Some of this is due to strong play from a secondary that has allowed very little separation. Darnell Savage made a great play to knock a pass away from Christian Kirk, giving up no space in the intermediate part of the field. Ronald Darby locked down Thomas on a pass attempt to him as well. The Jaguars also had players like Andrew Parker and Amani Oruwariye make pass breakups, while Josh Hines-Allen sacked Lawrence once during team drills.
Lawrence's first interception on the day came in 7-on-7, with the quarterback attempting to fit a pass to Christian Kirk on the left side of the field. Veteran safety Andre Cisco stepped in front of the pass for what would have been a likely pick-six. His other interception came in team drills, with Lawrence attempting to find an open Travis Etienne across the middle of the field. The pass was tipped at the line however, landing directly in Travon Walker's hands in coverage.
But it was Cephus' touchdown in the middle of practice that finally spurned some emotion from a tired crowd that just watched the offense struggle to move the ball in hurry-up offense. Cephus managed to beat Gregory Junior deep for a fingertips touchdown from Mac Jones, one of the best connections a quarterback and receiver has made in camp. Cephus is the first undrafted receiver to make such a statement play so far in camp.
