AFC Notes: Tony Boselli, Jaguars Staff Changes, Shedeur Sanders, Titans

Jaguars

The Jaguars hired DC Anthony Campanile from Green Bay where he served as the run game coordinator for the 2024 season. When asked about his defensive scheme plans, Campanile wants to be multiple so they can maximize the talent on the field.

โ€œWe want to put the best guys we have out there,โ€ Campanile said, via John Oehser of the teamโ€™s website. โ€œThere will be front variation. There will be coverage variation. Weโ€™re going to test the protection on third down. There will be a lot of multiplicity to what we do in terms of simulators, pressure. Thatโ€™s what I can tell you.โ€

โ€œStructurally, you can get to any of those things and it really has more to do with people that are on the field. If you look at a lot of the systems Iโ€™ve been in, you could say, โ€˜Thatโ€™s a 3-4,โ€™ and weโ€™re in four-down linemen half the time.โ€

Jaguars

New Jaguars Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli expects that the team will have a quick turnaround to being competitive once again and gave an insight on how the organization will function under a new regime. 

โ€œI donโ€™t think weโ€™re far; I really donโ€™t,โ€ Boselli said, via the team websiteโ€™s John Oehser. โ€œWe are going to hire a GM whose responsibility will be to pick players, go through free agency, the draft. Liam is going to have a very, very big role influence voice in that process. We are going to make sure we are always aligned. I love football and I will assist them how they need, but thatโ€™s not my job. My job is not to pick players. My job is not to coach. My job is to support them and thatโ€™s what Iโ€™ll do.โ€

โ€œWe are committed to make sure we have a strong building, a strong culture,โ€ Boselli continued. โ€œItโ€™ll be Liamโ€™s culture. He is the voice, heโ€™s the head coach of this organization, itโ€™s his team. Heโ€™s going to dictate how we do things on the field, and what the culture is. Weโ€™re here to support him. When our GM gets named, we will work together. We will be aligned. When we pick a player, itโ€™s our player. Heโ€™s a Jaguar. Itโ€™s not that guyโ€™s pick or this guy wanted him. Thatโ€™s not how weโ€™re going to operate.โ€Itโ€™s going to be our player and when we win, we win. When we lose, we lose. Weโ€™re not going to blame, weโ€™re not going to point the finger. All that matters to me is winning.โ€

Titans

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders said he would not be upset should the Titans decide to go in a different direction with the first overall pick instead of selecting him.

โ€œWhy would I be mad?โ€ Sanders said to Kevin Clark of ESPN. โ€œI think about it like this: These are good problems to have. You could be in a way worse situation. Being No. 1 that donโ€™t really matter to me at the end of the day. I could go No. 1, but it may not be a fit. I could go No. 2 and itโ€™d be a fit. I could go No. 3 and itโ€™d be a fit. Itโ€™s all about fit.โ€
