Travis hinter from Jaguars says that the beginning of 2 roads is solid, more to come

Jacksonville, Fla.-Travis Hunter was one of the last players to enter the Jacksonville Jaguars wardrobe after his 26-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. He wanted a few more minutes to absorb the consequences of his first NFL game.

Hunter hit his hands with fans and signed autographs, celebrating not only the sixth victory of the Jaguars in his last 24 games and the first one under the new coen coach coen, but also played both sides of the ball against the Panthers.

“I was excited and ready to go out and win with my team and bring energy,” said Hunter, “as I say every day, every time I interview me, I am trying to bring energy, bring the boys and make sure that we stay faithful to ourselves and be the team that we know we can be.”

Although Hunter did not put monster statistics against the Panthers, six trapped for 33 yards; A Tackle: His bidirectional debut was remarkable because he played 44 snapshots in the offensive and six in defense, becoming the second player in the last 10 years to play at least 30 offensive snapshots and five defensive snapshots in the same game. (Scott Matlock did it last season in fullback and defensive line for the Los Angeles Chargers).

That Snap breakdown was the plan for week 1, Coen said, because Hunter lost the second preseason game (none of the headlines played in the final preseason contest) and four camp practices due to an injury at the top of the body. Coen said that Hunter will be more involved to the defensive as the season progresses.

“There were many different types of coverage changes in the back -end for us with some of [the Panthers’] formations, adjustments, [and] It was a lot that those guys had to handle defensive, “Coen said.” Then, maybe this game was a little less for him. I think it will only continue to evolve and go more. “

Hunter said he was happy with the way he played, although he admitted that he could have had his first touchdown if Panthers’s corner Jaycee Horn did not make a single hand interception.

“I did my job. That was the main approach, I do my job,” said Hunter. “I did what they asked me to do, and I know I could do more and I know I could do better.”

Coen agreed on all points.

“I thought he played hard with the offensive,” Coen said. “I thought he played quickly. He had some good catches, he ran the right routes. I can only see him underway and expand from here.”

Hunter and Trevor Lawrence almost connected to another deep pass, and the Jaguars Campo Marshal said that Hunter’s debut would have been even better if Lawrence had connected in those releases.

“It was great,” Lawrence said. “I had some big catches, obviously. You know, I think it’s a weapon for us, and will continue to improve more and more. It is a confrontation in space, great with the ball in your hands.

“[Hunter] I could have had more out there. I felt that I could have given some more opportunities in some of the ones I lost, but today it had a good day, and we only had to continue building. “

Another notable aspect of Hunter’s debut: he did it with a new hairstyle, cutting the fears he had for a long time in favor of a much closer cut.

“It was time for,” said Hunter, who spent a few moments before the game with her grandmother after she made the trip from Boynton Beach, Florida. “It’s time to let him go. New person, new person. Welcome to a new chapter in my life. Simply cut it.”
