(26:09-39:54) – JP Shadrick from Jaguars.com is the next company camp caravan stop for Query & Company. Jake asks JP about the transition for Head Coach Liam Coan so far, where Trevor Lawrence is at mentally as he tries to learn his third different offense in his career, believes that Jacksonville will let Travis Hunter play both offense and defense, and shares what the Jaguars fans think of the Indianapolis Colts.

Eddie highlights something he heard on one of the local TV stations from a couple.

(1:16:59-1:30:50) – Tim Benz from Tribune Sports in Pittsburgh joins Query & Company as Jake’s company camp caravan continues.
