- 0:35Speaker 1: Let's get to what's coming up on the show today.
- 0:37Speaker 1: The Jags and the Texans preview in week by that
- 0:40Speaker 1: NURG Stadium in Houston. They have fired their head coach
- 0:45Speaker 1: in Houston. Bill O'Brien is gone. Romeo Cornell is the
- 0:49Speaker 1: interim head coach. We'll get to what's going on there.
- 0:53Speaker 1: The Jaguars, though, as the quarterbacks so eloquently said today,
- 0:58Speaker 1: have their own stuff to figure out. He didn't say
- 1:02Speaker 1: stuff though, uniform unveiling. We'll get to Jimmy Luck, head
- 1:06Speaker 1: equipment manager for the Jags. A scout's view from Bucky
- 1:10Speaker 1: Brooks on the Jags wide receiver corps so far. And
- 1:12Speaker 1: we'll play big game. Jaguar will pick our Jaguars to
- 1:16Speaker 1: have a big game in Houston this Sunday, Bucky Brooks,
- 1:20Speaker 1: John osan with us. Now, Bucky, what's going on out
- 1:23Speaker 1: in l A Man, Everything is good. Looking forward to
- 1:27Speaker 1: a very positive week from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hope we
- 1:30Speaker 1: can go one to notice week. Yeah, week to week,
- 1:33Speaker 1: John week to week and JP, if that happens, you
- 1:38Speaker 1: will dance, dance, dance the night away. Oh. I like
- 1:43Speaker 1: that reference there, Yeah, I like that reference there. Well, yeah,
- 1:52Speaker 1: that's pretty good, pretty good. Nothing gets by Johnny. Oh,
- 1:56Speaker 1: let's get to the injury report today. We'll start with that.
- 1:58Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest storylines this week for the Jags.
- 2:01Speaker 1: By the way, a bunch of guys didn't practice today.
- 2:04Speaker 1: C J. Henderson was not out there with a shoulder issue,
- 2:07Speaker 1: Josh Allen was not out there with what is listed
- 2:09Speaker 1: as a knee issue, Miles jack with his ankle. He
- 2:12Speaker 1: came out of the game last week. Tyler Shatley not
- 2:14Speaker 1: injury related. Cam Robinson with a knee did not practice today,
- 2:18Speaker 1: Will Richardson Jr. With an illness, and Tyler Effort with
- 2:22Speaker 1: a scheduled day off. But Josh Allen is on that list.
- 2:26Speaker 1: That one kind of surprised me. A little bit. John,
- 2:28Speaker 1: I must say, Yeah, he didn't shock me. He left
- 2:32Speaker 1: and came back on Sunday, and you know, he's your
- 2:37Speaker 1: prize possession, so to speak. You know, you don't want
- 2:40Speaker 1: that jewel to break. So my sin is that was
- 2:43Speaker 1: a little more precautionary. He wasn't a guy that Doug
- 2:45Speaker 1: had talked about Monday. Um, I think you're gonna be
- 2:48Speaker 1: real careful with Josh Allen. I think in if he's
- 2:52Speaker 1: like during camp early in the season he had one
- 2:54Speaker 1: where they sort of held him out a little bit.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Be very careful with Josh. He's pretty good, Bucky, he
- 3:00Speaker 1: is pretty good. You want to make sure that we're
- 3:01Speaker 1: able to get him available on game day. He is
- 3:04Speaker 1: the one pass rusher that the Jacks have upfront, so
- 3:07Speaker 1: it's very important that you take care of him and
- 3:09Speaker 1: get him right so we can be at his best
- 3:11Speaker 1: on Sunday. All right, So that's the biggest storyline. How
- 3:17Speaker 1: healthy will this team be going into Sunday's game? And
- 3:20Speaker 1: Maroon said earlier a week that everybody has a chance
- 3:23Speaker 1: to play this week, even the guys that that probably
- 3:26Speaker 1: didn't practice today said earlier today, except d J. Hayden,
- 3:29Speaker 1: who is now of course on injured reserve. We'll see
- 3:32Speaker 1: how the week goes in practice and see who's up
- 3:34Speaker 1: and ready. The Jacks, though, guys are facing a team
- 3:37Speaker 1: that has started oh and four down in Houston, and
- 3:41Speaker 1: they have fired their head coach, Bill O'Brien gone. After
- 3:44Speaker 1: that oh and four starts lucky. Is there anything to
- 3:47Speaker 1: a team circling the wagons, if you will, after a
- 3:51Speaker 1: moment like that and and playing a little bit better?
- 3:54Speaker 1: Is that oversold? No? No, I think there's something to it.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I think you can expect the Texan to have a
- 4:00Speaker 1: little burst or shot of energy with Bill O'Bryan being
- 4:03Speaker 1: let go. Some of that will be due to is
- 4:06Speaker 1: a brace of style. Um, guys will kind of welcome
- 4:10Speaker 1: a different voice in the front of the room in
- 4:12Speaker 1: Romeo Crenell. Romeo Crenell. We'll try and get them to
- 4:15Speaker 1: kind of pull together and say, look, this this is
- 4:17Speaker 1: where we are. We're owing for, but this division is
- 4:20Speaker 1: still attainable. And so I already expect the Texans to
- 4:22Speaker 1: really be up for a very game fight. And so
- 4:27Speaker 1: this is one where the Jaguars have to be careful.
- 4:28Speaker 1: They can't take them lightly because their coach was recently
- 4:30Speaker 1: dismissed John. This is one where they haven't played a
- 4:36Speaker 1: division game yet in Houston, so as Bucky said, this
- 4:39Speaker 1: is all out in front of them. Still now they've
- 4:42Speaker 1: played a bet every good team outside the division of
- 4:45Speaker 1: themes like in front of him. I'm sure that will
- 4:49Speaker 1: be the message that Doc Carnell gives to them. And
- 4:53Speaker 1: I agree with Bucky. You know, I always go back JP.
- 4:56Speaker 1: We saw it here. The Jaguars were in the midst
- 4:59Speaker 1: of a miserable losing streak when they filed Gus. When
- 5:01Speaker 1: they fired Gus Bradley in two thousand sixteen, Doug Marone
- 5:05Speaker 1: came in and from watching that team before, you wouldn't
- 5:08Speaker 1: have thought this team was gonna win any games. They
- 5:10Speaker 1: came out and rolled Tennessee when Tennessee had a lot
- 5:13Speaker 1: to play for that day, if you remember, that was
- 5:15Speaker 1: the day where the Titans had playoffs scenario on the
- 5:19Speaker 1: line out of playoffs never beat playoffs scenario team in
- 5:24Speaker 1: the NFL, and the Jaguars beat them bad. I do
- 5:28Speaker 1: think there's an adrenaline and there's a refocus. Guys are
- 5:32Speaker 1: a little bit more on edge because they know that
- 5:34Speaker 1: it's a new set of eyes on them. So yes,
- 5:37Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. That is the biggest factor in favor
- 5:41Speaker 1: of the Texans, who aren't playing as well as I
- 5:43Speaker 1: thought they would Normally, I would say this is the
- 5:45Speaker 1: game the Jaguars can win. They've got to watch that
- 5:47Speaker 1: adrenaline issue. So um, as Gardner Minshew said today, we've
- 5:54Speaker 1: got enough turmoil of our own. We've got to figure
- 5:57Speaker 1: our stuff out first, um, and let's get to the
- 6:01Speaker 1: Jaguars stuff. And there's plenty of it, of course, starting
- 6:05Speaker 1: with last week's game in Cincinnati. Let's start with the offense,
- 6:08Speaker 1: though uh you know, gardnerment shows spreading it around a
- 6:12Speaker 1: little bit still. D J. Chark was back in the
- 6:14Speaker 1: lineup last week in in Week four and had a
- 6:18Speaker 1: good game in Cincinnati statistically with a couple of touchdowns,
- 6:21Speaker 1: including that nice toe drag in the back line and
- 6:24Speaker 1: he stole another one away from a guy. Leabisca. Chenault
- 6:27Speaker 1: is still a factor, though he left the game with
- 6:28Speaker 1: a hamstring issue and he's on the report this week.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Keel and Cole with a handful of catches, James Robinson
- 6:35Speaker 1: doing his thing again and as we say, lucky most
- 6:38Speaker 1: weeks in the offense has moments where it's doing things
- 6:42Speaker 1: pretty well, and that's a positive. That is a positive.
- 6:45Speaker 1: There's certainly some things to build on. With the offense.
- 6:49Speaker 1: James Robinson has really been a legitimate number one playmaker
- 6:52Speaker 1: for them at running back, and you just don't expect
- 6:54Speaker 1: to see an undrafted player come in and have that
- 6:56Speaker 1: kind of success. So that is a feather in their
- 6:59Speaker 1: cap in terms of being able to find someone off
- 7:01Speaker 1: the grid and have success. The wide receivers have done
- 7:03Speaker 1: a really good job of making the plays. We saw
- 7:06Speaker 1: Laviska Chanat have a bigger role and make some plays.
- 7:09Speaker 1: D J. Chart continues to be the number one and
- 7:11Speaker 1: Keilan Cole makes plays on third down. And so when
- 7:13Speaker 1: you think about their main weapons, their weapons are there.
- 7:17Speaker 1: The one thing, even though Garner Mins you had three
- 7:19Speaker 1: and fifty yards UH in that game, some of that
- 7:23Speaker 1: still feels like a little padded, almost empty calories at
- 7:26Speaker 1: the end of the game. I need. I would like
- 7:29Speaker 1: to see him be a little more productive when they
- 7:32Speaker 1: really needed that third quarter stretch when the Beagles went
- 7:35Speaker 1: on a seventeen old run. We needed to see Garner
- 7:37Speaker 1: minsh you make some plays to kind of get the
- 7:39Speaker 1: Jaguars out of that rut. He has to kind of
- 7:42Speaker 1: take that next step to be the franchise quarterback to
- 7:44Speaker 1: some are hoping that he can be. John, would you
- 7:49Speaker 1: make in the group last week in Cincinnati, the receivers
- 7:53Speaker 1: anchor five? I mean the receivers are what they are.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I think we know what they are. Isn't above the
- 8:00Speaker 1: XS and ohs guy, And I think he's he's turning into,
- 8:04Speaker 1: if not already turned into an elite number one receiver.
- 8:07Speaker 1: I wondered I thought he still had a step to
- 8:09Speaker 1: take after last season. I think he's taking that step
- 8:12Speaker 1: when he's in there scoring twenty five or more points
- 8:15Speaker 1: when he was out there had thirteen. Beyond that, I
- 8:18Speaker 1: think Channault still has NFL stuff to learn, NFL route
- 8:23Speaker 1: running stuff to learn, but he's clear is going to
- 8:25Speaker 1: be fine. Uh you know those are really there too.
- 8:29Speaker 1: And I think beyond that it's going to be trying
- 8:32Speaker 1: to figure out of Kealing. Cole's that guy. But they've
- 8:34Speaker 1: been fine this year. I agree with Bucky. The third
- 8:37Speaker 1: quarter of the Bengals game, to me is the concern
- 8:39Speaker 1: about Minshew. When they really needed it, it wasn't there.
- 8:44Speaker 1: And I'm just curious, if we have time for Bucky,
- 8:47Speaker 1: what went wrong. There was that a major concern? Or
- 8:50Speaker 1: is that a blitz? You know? It's funny, John Like,
- 8:55Speaker 1: it's one of those things where big time players make
- 8:58Speaker 1: plays in those moments. And I feel like those elite
- 9:00Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks they seize an opportunity when is there. They
- 9:04Speaker 1: can feel the momentum of the game kind of shifting
- 9:06Speaker 1: and they're able to insert themselves and make a play.
- 9:09Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, Garner hasn't been able to do that.
- 9:12Speaker 1: He hasn't been able to make those plays in the
- 9:14Speaker 1: past two weeks in particular, he hasn't been able to
- 9:16Speaker 1: make those plays when you're counting on him to make
- 9:19Speaker 1: a play. And so you just wanted does he have
- 9:22Speaker 1: that in his bag or is he a guy that's
- 9:24Speaker 1: destined to be a guy that can look he can
- 9:26Speaker 1: be a solid manager, and you can have all the
- 9:29Speaker 1: talent around him, but you're not able to necessarily put
- 9:31Speaker 1: the game on his shoulders. And so there's certainly is
- 9:34Speaker 1: stilling when you have that kind of quarterback. All Right,
- 9:38Speaker 1: We've got a lot of season left to to see
- 9:40Speaker 1: if he can improve in that area. Went on this week,
- 9:43Speaker 1: they're playing a Texans defense that still has J. J.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Watt on the roster in case you forgot three times
- 9:51Speaker 1: a defensive Player of the Year has been a little
- 9:53Speaker 1: bit since he's been at that type of level, Um, Bucky,
- 9:58Speaker 1: is J J. Watt still J J Watt that we
- 10:01Speaker 1: all no one remember? No, he's not playing like the
- 10:05Speaker 1: three time defensive Player of the Year, but he's that
- 10:07Speaker 1: that KG Vett who can still flash in moments. He
- 10:11Speaker 1: can't take over the entire game, but he can take
- 10:13Speaker 1: it over in segments. He can have splash plays on
- 10:16Speaker 1: back and back plays in a drive, he can dominate
- 10:18Speaker 1: accord and maybe in that brief lips of dominance he
- 10:22Speaker 1: can create a strip sack, phone bore, pressure quarterback and
- 10:26Speaker 1: create an interception. So he is still dangerous. He's not
- 10:30Speaker 1: as dangerous as he once was, but he's still someone
- 10:32Speaker 1: that you have to keep an eye on. Yeah, John,
- 10:35Speaker 1: if you underestimate him, all of a sudden, you'll be
- 10:38Speaker 1: looking at him standing in the end zone with the football.
- 10:41Speaker 1: That's kind of the way he plays. Yeah, it's almost
- 10:45Speaker 1: not fair after what he's he's in his tenth year,
- 10:48Speaker 1: I think if I remember that, or it's almost not
- 10:51Speaker 1: fair to ask is he J J. Watt? Because for
- 10:54Speaker 1: three or four years. He was almost a defense by himself.
- 10:58Speaker 1: He was as good as any strong defensive and what
- 11:00Speaker 1: do you call his position, He was as good as
- 11:03Speaker 1: there was. He it's not really a quote sack position,
- 11:06Speaker 1: and yet he was getting six years eventeen Seck, he
- 11:09Speaker 1: was super human. He's not that. But as you said,
- 11:12Speaker 1: if you ignore him, can he make plays that normal
- 11:16Speaker 1: defensive ends make? Absolutely other pieces of this defense guys
- 11:23Speaker 1: Zack Cunningham has a big contract now at linebacker, and
- 11:26Speaker 1: Bradley Roby came over last year in fact from Denver,
- 11:30Speaker 1: and he's playing pretty well at the cornerback position. Uh.
- 11:33Speaker 1: They've they've really put a lot of stock into Cunningham
- 11:36Speaker 1: down there, Bucky, and they're gonna ride with him for
- 11:39Speaker 1: a little while. Yeah, they are going ride with him
- 11:41Speaker 1: for a little role. He's a physical player, a guy
- 11:44Speaker 1: that really exhales in the box, and when you saw
- 11:46Speaker 1: him coming out of Vanderbilt, he was someone that could
- 11:48Speaker 1: gobble up ball care he's in the hole. He's continued
- 11:51Speaker 1: to be that um for the Texas. He's outstanding from
- 11:55Speaker 1: his instinct standpoint. Love the physicality that he brings to
- 11:57Speaker 1: the table, and so he's someone that should certainly have
- 11:59Speaker 1: to be a where I be, and if I'm James Robinson,
- 12:02Speaker 1: I have to know where he is because if the
- 12:04Speaker 1: Jaguars are going to run the ball consistently, he is
- 12:07Speaker 1: going to have to find a way to run through
- 12:09Speaker 1: Zack Cunningham a time or two to really set the tone. John,
- 12:15Speaker 1: That's always kind of feels like a game that's you know,
- 12:19Speaker 1: twenty two, ten, twenty four two, you know, thirteen kind
- 12:24Speaker 1: of thing. It never really feels like it's up and
- 12:27Speaker 1: down the field. It's always kind of a running and
- 12:30Speaker 1: defense kind of day. Is at least that's been the
- 12:33Speaker 1: field over the last few years to me. Yeah, Unfortunately,
- 12:38Speaker 1: last time the team's played it was it was the
- 12:40Speaker 1: Texans running up and down the field in London, and
- 12:43Speaker 1: it's the Texans have too long a streak in this series.
- 12:47Speaker 1: It's four games since the glory year of two thousand
- 12:51Speaker 1: and seventeen when the Jaguars drummed him and the Texans
- 12:53Speaker 1: head quarterback problems. They need to turn that. It's really
- 12:58Speaker 1: more of a heck jp against this team then the
- 13:01Speaker 1: team everybody loves to hate, which is the Titans. They
- 13:03Speaker 1: actually they beat the Titans last year. If you remember
- 13:06Speaker 1: on a Thursday night. They haven't gotten over the hump
- 13:08Speaker 1: in a long time against Texans. I thought the Texans
- 13:10Speaker 1: were gonna be the team to beat this year. I
- 13:11Speaker 1: was wrong. They need to turn that around and this
- 13:15Speaker 1: is the year they should beyond the adrenaline thing. The
- 13:18Speaker 1: Texans have not been particularly strong. They've been bad against
- 13:22Speaker 1: the run for about eleven or twelve games. Now. The
- 13:25Speaker 1: Jaguars defense must keep this thing close enough to where
- 13:29Speaker 1: James Robinson. I feel like a broken record, Bucky, but
- 13:32Speaker 1: they've got to keep this thing close enough where James
- 13:34Speaker 1: Robinson can be a factor of the entire game except
- 13:37Speaker 1: for two and a half quarters. Yeah, this is this
- 13:40Speaker 1: is a tough You need everybody on deck. This is
- 13:43Speaker 1: a game that really requires complimentary football. It requires the
- 13:46Speaker 1: defense to be able to prop up the offense and
- 13:48Speaker 1: the special teams, the kicking game. They need to provide
- 13:50Speaker 1: some opportunities for the offense. This team is difficult because
- 13:55Speaker 1: you look at them, they're owing for but they played
- 13:57Speaker 1: four really good teams. Uh. You know the challenge there
- 13:59Speaker 1: to have DeShawn Watson. They have some playmakers. The defense
- 14:02Speaker 1: still has some talent, but they haven't put it all together.
- 14:06Speaker 1: What has to happen early. With the momentum that they have.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Jaguars have to jump on them right away. You have
- 14:11Speaker 1: to put them in a hold. You can't let them
- 14:12Speaker 1: get any confidence because this is a game that I'm
- 14:15Speaker 1: sure they're looking at the Jaguars as Hey, this is
- 14:17Speaker 1: a get right game for us. We can get a
- 14:20Speaker 1: division game against the team that we feel strongly that
- 14:22Speaker 1: we can be And John to your point, the Jacks
- 14:27Speaker 1: have dropped four in a row against the Texans and
- 14:31Speaker 1: fifteen of the last nineteen meetings have gone Houston's way
- 14:35Speaker 1: in this series, Let's come back. You've touched on the
- 14:39Speaker 1: defense briefly. We will go in depth for this group
- 14:42Speaker 1: that's had another struggle last week in Cincinnati and see
- 14:46Speaker 1: if we can figure some things out on the defensive side.

- 16:49Speaker 1: On this Wednesday of Week five, the Jags and the
- 16:53Speaker 1: Texans coming up in urg Stadium the site one o'clock
- 16:56Speaker 1: kickoff time this week is the Jags trying to snap
- 16:59Speaker 1: a three game slide. Well, let's move along now to
- 17:03Speaker 1: the defensive side, and the big storyline is going into
- 17:07Speaker 1: last week's game, where hey, you gotta get pressure on
- 17:10Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, you gotta continue to stop the run. Joe
- 17:13Speaker 1: Mixing hadn't done a lot yet in the season. Um, well,
- 17:17Speaker 1: neither one of those happened. Part of that was some
- 17:20Speaker 1: of the front line players went out in the second half.
- 17:22Speaker 1: That's when Joe Mixon got most of his yardage on
- 17:25Speaker 1: the ground. He went for a hundred and twenty one
- 17:28Speaker 1: of his one fifty one in the second half of
- 17:30Speaker 1: the game. Joe Burrow had one official sack. It was
- 17:35Speaker 1: a slide down with the line of scrimmage touchdown by
- 17:38Speaker 1: Josh Allen and he was only hit five times. So, John,
- 17:42Speaker 1: none of the things that we discussed going into the
- 17:45Speaker 1: game really worked out for the Jaguars defense last week.
- 17:50Speaker 1: You know, nothing did. And the only sliver that you
- 17:54Speaker 1: can hang on to is they weren't very good. And
- 17:57Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to be dominated all this year.
- 17:59Speaker 1: I think that's sort of out of the realm of
- 18:01Speaker 1: possibility unless they prove us incredibly wrong. But they were
- 18:05Speaker 1: hanging around and they were managing it, if you will,
- 18:09Speaker 1: when Miles Jack was in the game, so you know,
- 18:13Speaker 1: if he comes back, can they be a defense that
- 18:16Speaker 1: treads water enough to keep the offense in the game.
- 18:18Speaker 1: You know, it all went away against Joe Mixing when
- 18:21Speaker 1: Miles went out. Had it not, you probably don't see
- 18:24Speaker 1: those easy third quarter touchdown drive and they're still in
- 18:28Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So you know, that's my sliver of hope. Bucky,
- 18:32Speaker 1: I'm hanging on over here. There's a thread here and
- 18:36Speaker 1: I'm hanging on by it. But that's my hope. No,
- 18:40Speaker 1: it's tough because the defense just hasn't generated enough big plays,
- 18:43Speaker 1: and the two blue chip players that we know about
- 18:46Speaker 1: a Josh Allen, Miles Jack and I will now begin
- 18:48Speaker 1: to throw Josh Jones into that category because he has
- 18:51Speaker 1: been a very productive player for the Jaguars coming out
- 18:54Speaker 1: of that safety position. But those guys have to make
- 18:56Speaker 1: all of the plays and it's just so tough for
- 18:58Speaker 1: them to have everything on their shoulder. So you do
- 19:01Speaker 1: need some guys to step up. We do need to
- 19:04Speaker 1: see Joe Schobert make some plays, particularly against the run game.
- 19:07Speaker 1: You need some of the guys up front to be
- 19:09Speaker 1: able to occupy those blockers so they can run and chase.
- 19:12Speaker 1: But it's a collaborative effort. The defense as a whole
- 19:15Speaker 1: needs to play better. They have to be able to
- 19:17Speaker 1: take care of business on early downs, so maybe you
- 19:20Speaker 1: can back up the quarterback and have a chance to
- 19:22Speaker 1: get off the field on third down. Now, historically Watson
- 19:28Speaker 1: does hold the ball a little bit, but you can
- 19:31Speaker 1: also take off and run like a deer around and
- 19:33Speaker 1: through the defense too, Bucky. So that's the issue this week.
- 19:37Speaker 1: That is the issue. He's a fantastic playmaker, but jp
- 19:40Speaker 1: you pointed out something that is his achilles heal. He
- 19:43Speaker 1: does hold onto the ball for an extended period of
- 19:46Speaker 1: time and if you do have pass rushers, he gives
- 19:49Speaker 1: them opportunities to get home. He also has a problem
- 19:53Speaker 1: when you can move him around and kind of get
- 19:55Speaker 1: him out of the pocket, he will make some haphazard
- 19:58Speaker 1: throws and there's some turnover opportunities that should be available.
- 20:02Speaker 1: And so he is a fantastic player. He's definitely on
- 20:04Speaker 1: the rise and beginning to knock on the door and
- 20:07Speaker 1: that elite category when it comes to being a top
- 20:09Speaker 1: five quarterback. But the Jaguars could have an opportunity to
- 20:13Speaker 1: force them into some turnovers if they can just find
- 20:16Speaker 1: a way to generate some kind of pressure at the
- 20:18Speaker 1: point of attack. You know, John, It's interesting looking at
- 20:23Speaker 1: the final results and and what Deshaun Watson has done
- 20:27Speaker 1: against the Jags. It's not like a pinball machine in
- 20:30Speaker 1: terms of statistics for DeShawn when he plays the Jaguars,
- 20:33Speaker 1: he's effective though they get winning results, but the results
- 20:35Speaker 1: are twenty to seven, twenty to three, thirteen to twelve
- 20:41Speaker 1: to three in London last year. He threw a couple
- 20:43Speaker 1: of touchdowns in that game, but it's not like he's
- 20:45Speaker 1: throwing for four hundred yards every time. Yeah, London felt
- 20:50Speaker 1: like forty though. I mean I'm not I'm not trying
- 20:52Speaker 1: to jump on everything, but that felt like an absolute blowout.
- 20:57Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't from the score, but it felt
- 20:59Speaker 1: like the Texans had can roll. But saying that, I'll
- 21:04Speaker 1: give you a clue into my ten things this week, JP,
- 21:07Speaker 1: and now you look forward to my ten things on
- 21:09Speaker 1: Friday morning. Ten things the Jaguars must do to beat
- 21:12Speaker 1: the Texans. One is pressuring Deshaun Watch, but the biggest
- 21:17Speaker 1: one is tackling Deshaun Watch. And that's what really defined
- 21:21Speaker 1: the London game last year. So the last time the
- 21:23Speaker 1: two teams played, they got all sorts of freshure, and
- 21:27Speaker 1: it feels like there were ten times where they had him.
- 21:30Speaker 1: He spun away and made play. That's his m Oh,
- 21:33Speaker 1: they've got a pressure, but you must tackle this man
- 21:36Speaker 1: and too off. He has made the three or four
- 21:40Speaker 1: plays a game by escaping pressure against the Jaguars. So
- 21:45Speaker 1: can you stop that? Can you actually get him down
- 21:47Speaker 1: when you get the sack. There would be nothing more
- 21:49Speaker 1: frustrating for this team, meaning the Jaguars, than to get
- 21:52Speaker 1: great pressure and have Deshaun Watson beat them the way
- 21:55Speaker 1: he's beaten them the last few times, which is escaping it,
- 21:58Speaker 1: breaking a tackle, and making a playdown field. It's funny,
- 22:01Speaker 1: johnn I want to piggyback off that point because you
- 22:03Speaker 1: talk about the pressure in being able to stay after him.
- 22:06Speaker 1: It's a it's a concerted effort from the back end
- 22:09Speaker 1: to plaster the receivers when Deshaun Watson leaves the pocket.
- 22:12Speaker 1: A lot of times with Deshaun Watson, when he's moving around,
- 22:15Speaker 1: somehow his guys are uncovered and he'll launch a bomb
- 22:18Speaker 1: down the field. So it's really important this week in
- 22:21Speaker 1: practice that the coaches are harpening on the dbs. Stay
- 22:24Speaker 1: with your guy, even if Deshaun Watson is running around.
- 22:27Speaker 1: You let the rush and the linebackers take care of
- 22:29Speaker 1: number four. You make sure you stay with your guy.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Cannot see these big plays happen because this is a
- 22:36Speaker 1: game that should be very, very competitive, and you just
- 22:38Speaker 1: don't want to see the explosive plays. Particular off or
- 22:40Speaker 1: broken play become one of the deciding factors. One other
- 22:45Speaker 1: note on on Watson. We were talking about his pensiont
- 22:49Speaker 1: for holding the ball a little long. Remember a few
- 22:51Speaker 1: years ago he had sixty. He was sacked sixty two times.
- 22:54Speaker 1: I was a league of that year in eighteen and
- 22:57Speaker 1: so far this year six team sacks of why and
- 23:00Speaker 1: that is a league high for how's the old line
- 23:04Speaker 1: holding up in Houston, Bucket? I mean you said it.
- 23:07Speaker 1: He's been batted around a lot of it. Some of
- 23:10Speaker 1: it is due to his own um desire to hold
- 23:13Speaker 1: onto the ball waiting for the big play to develop.
- 23:16Speaker 1: But this offense line they have, they have pieces up front.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Larrytowns is one of the best left outles that you
- 23:21Speaker 1: can find, um, but there's some vulnerabilities there. The problem
- 23:25Speaker 1: that you have a few times watched. How do I
- 23:27Speaker 1: go about attacking this offensive line? If I bring extra defenders,
- 23:32Speaker 1: Am I confident enough that my guys can cover? I
- 23:35Speaker 1: would say this week they may have an opportunity to
- 23:37Speaker 1: be able to cover on the outside. Not an entire
- 23:41Speaker 1: game of one like cover Warner Man free coverage, But
- 23:45Speaker 1: I think you can man up a little bit and
- 23:46Speaker 1: come after them. I think he has to pick his spots,
- 23:48Speaker 1: but he cannot allow the Shan Watson to sit back
- 23:51Speaker 1: in the pocket like a toy soldier and have his
- 23:53Speaker 1: way when he wants to throw the ball. All right,
- 23:57Speaker 1: let's get to this the running game of Houston and
- 24:00Speaker 1: David Johnson came in in the trade, obviously from from Arizona.
- 24:04Speaker 1: You know in the past down there, they've had some
- 24:06Speaker 1: some big name backs over the years, but Johnson had
- 24:09Speaker 1: most of his big time in Arizona earlier in his career.
- 24:13Speaker 1: So far, you see on your screen what he has
- 24:15Speaker 1: done here. And how about that he has not played
- 24:19Speaker 1: Jacksonville ever. He was out the year the Jags played
- 24:21Speaker 1: the Cardinals out there, so he did not play in
- 24:23Speaker 1: that game. Would you make of Johnson so far? He'll
- 24:26Speaker 1: he'll have his moments, Bucky, Yeah, he had his moments. Man.
- 24:30Speaker 1: He looked like he was getting off to a great
- 24:31Speaker 1: story the first game of the year against the Ken
- 24:33Speaker 1: City Chiefs opening drive. Man, they fed it to him,
- 24:36Speaker 1: they gave it to him. He was running, he was catching.
- 24:38Speaker 1: He looked like David Johnson vol who almost getting the
- 24:41Speaker 1: one thousand, one thousand club. Um. Since that point in
- 24:44Speaker 1: the year, they just haven't been able to do it.
- 24:46Speaker 1: But you now wonder, without Bill O'Brien on the sideline,
- 24:50Speaker 1: Tim Kelly being able to really put his stamp on
- 24:53Speaker 1: this offense, do they find a way to feature David Johnson.
- 24:56Speaker 1: I think that is probably the best course of action
- 24:58Speaker 1: for them because it alleviate some of the pressure on
- 25:01Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, no doubt about that. And john of course,
- 25:04Speaker 1: they have deep threat and Will Fuller, who when healthy,
- 25:08Speaker 1: can be productive on the outside. And given what's going
- 25:11Speaker 1: on in the secondary these days for the Jags, that
- 25:14Speaker 1: could be something that the Texans could exploit. Yeah, and
- 25:19Speaker 1: h Fuller has played well this year. Their receivers haven't
- 25:22Speaker 1: been a problem. But since we have the scout on
- 25:25Speaker 1: I want to ask out his take on this because
- 25:27Speaker 1: I just don't know it. How much does the offense,
- 25:31Speaker 1: especially Deshaun Watson. We all talked about the Hopkins factor
- 25:35Speaker 1: when he left. How different is it and how different
- 25:39Speaker 1: a quarterback does Watson have to be because of Hopkins
- 25:41Speaker 1: absent hows that really played out? So so here's the
- 25:45Speaker 1: thing with the DeAndre Hopkins. He is one of the
- 25:48Speaker 1: funnest playmakers in football that wide received, maybe the best
- 25:51Speaker 1: wide receiver in the game. The problem that you have
- 25:53Speaker 1: when you had DeAndre Hopkins in Houston with Deshaun Watson,
- 25:56Speaker 1: he had a crutch, so in every critical situation he
- 25:59Speaker 1: would throw the ball all the number ten, which is fine,
- 26:01Speaker 1: but it prevented him from fully expanding his game. Well, now,
- 26:05Speaker 1: when you have these other guys around the Cob and
- 26:08Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and will Fuller, you really have a series
- 26:12Speaker 1: of catch and run playmakers, guys that you can throw
- 26:14Speaker 1: the underneath stuff and it enables you, in theory, to
- 26:18Speaker 1: protect the Shan Watson from taking those hits if you
- 26:21Speaker 1: will get the ball out of his hands. And so
- 26:23Speaker 1: it hasn't come together yet, but certainly he could be
- 26:26Speaker 1: dangerous with those guys. And will Fuller is typically the
- 26:30Speaker 1: guy that makes it go because he is the vertical stretch.
- 26:33Speaker 1: He's the big play player. He can make it happen.
- 26:35Speaker 1: And also I forgot to mention Kenney Steeles. Kenny steel
- 26:38Speaker 1: is also another player that can make things happen on
- 26:40Speaker 1: the perimeter. All Right, there's a look at the Texans
- 26:44Speaker 1: offense against the Jaguars defense that that needs a good effort.
- 26:49Speaker 1: They need they give the effort. That's not what I meant.
- 26:51Speaker 1: They need a good result this week from all of
- 26:54Speaker 1: that effort. They haven't had one in a few weeks.
- 26:57Speaker 1: It's uh, maybe this is the week to get things
- 26:59Speaker 1: right or closer to right on the defensive side of
- 27:02Speaker 1: the football. This season, the Jags are launching predictive gaming

- 29:31Speaker 1: joins us from t I A. A. Bank Field and
- 29:34Speaker 1: the Jimmy Good afternoon. What's up man? What's going on?
- 29:38Speaker 1: How you guys doing. We're hanging in there, getting ready
- 29:43Speaker 1: to go to Houston another road trip, back to back
- 29:46Speaker 1: road games. How difficult of a stretch is that for
- 29:49Speaker 1: you and your crew? I know this, this whole thing
- 29:53Speaker 1: is a little more difficult than normal this year, but
- 29:56Speaker 1: in terms of back to back road games, it just
- 29:58Speaker 1: adds a little more to what what is on your plate.
- 30:00Speaker 1: I'm sure. Well, we just it's kind of we get
- 30:05Speaker 1: back and we restocked the trunks and get them ready
- 30:08Speaker 1: to head back out and put back on the truck
- 30:10Speaker 1: and uh, the drive truck will head out tomorrow, so um,
- 30:15Speaker 1: we get them all, make sure we got them ready
- 30:16Speaker 1: to go tonight and put it on the road and
- 30:19Speaker 1: pack up the player bag Saturday and off we go.
- 30:25Speaker 1: It's interesting what that it's just part of your day.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I mean, is it adding that much anymore or is it?
- 30:33Speaker 1: I mean something how overwhelming it is for the staff.
- 30:35Speaker 1: It's gotta be tough. Yeah, but we've kind of we've
- 30:40Speaker 1: kind of gotten our routine down. I mean, we've done
- 30:42Speaker 1: it since training camp with the extra cleaning and some
- 30:44Speaker 1: of the other little things we do here and there, um,
- 30:47Speaker 1: So it's kind of just become part of the daily routine.
- 30:50Speaker 1: And you know, we might get here a few minutes
- 30:53Speaker 1: earlier and stay a few minutes later, but it's you know,
- 30:56Speaker 1: it's kind of just the routine now, you know, because
- 30:58Speaker 1: we all like working and all in so that's what
- 31:01Speaker 1: we gotta do, no doubt about that. Hey, Jimmy, what's
- 31:07Speaker 1: the big difference this year that we haven't seen a
- 31:10Speaker 1: lot of or any of it because it's against the
- 31:13Speaker 1: rules this year is the postgame jersey exchange between players
- 31:17Speaker 1: on the field. Of course, the focus the last day
- 31:19Speaker 1: or so has been to find Gilmore talking close with
- 31:22Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. But in those circumstances in the past, a
- 31:26Speaker 1: lot of times guys would take the jerseys off exchange
- 31:29Speaker 1: and get photos and do all that. Um, how is
- 31:32Speaker 1: that different this year? Our guy is still exchanging them
- 31:34Speaker 1: through mail? How's that happening? And how does that affect you? Yeah,
- 31:40Speaker 1: so that it really hasn't stopped them from trading jerseys.
- 31:43Speaker 1: It just happens, uh, kind of behind closed doors now, um,
- 31:48Speaker 1: which I'm not a big fan of it, just because
- 31:51Speaker 1: it's put a little bit more work on us. But
- 31:53Speaker 1: at least if they did it on the field, then
- 31:55Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about it later it's already done. Um.
- 31:58Speaker 1: But now with the new product calls, it's you know,
- 32:00Speaker 1: like I said, it's just another thing we do. We
- 32:02Speaker 1: bring them back, we sanitize them, and then the guys
- 32:05Speaker 1: will normally want to sign them. And then I'll send
- 32:08Speaker 1: a package with, you know, a couple of jerseys up there,
- 32:10Speaker 1: and their equipment guy will just send me a package
- 32:13Speaker 1: with a couple of jerseys. So, um, it just goes
- 32:16Speaker 1: longer into the week where if it's right there on
- 32:17Speaker 1: the field, it's kind of over and done with Bucky.
- 32:21Speaker 1: I don't remember that being a thing except for recent history.
- 32:24Speaker 1: Is that true? I didn't like, Yeah, that's that's a
- 32:27Speaker 1: that's a that's a recent thing JP is is new.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I think the only thing I was trying to do
- 32:32Speaker 1: is trying to swipe the jersey at the end of
- 32:34Speaker 1: the year my own jersey, not get somebody else's. Like
- 32:37Speaker 1: that was always the big thing. Can I get my
- 32:38Speaker 1: own jersey in my helmet and and that stuff? Um,
- 32:41Speaker 1: Jimmy with with with all of the things that are
- 32:44Speaker 1: going on, how how are the guys responding to, like
- 32:47Speaker 1: just the differences when it comes to like the different
- 32:50Speaker 1: uniforms and those things whatever. How responsible had they been
- 32:53Speaker 1: to the designs that you put out there for them
- 32:55Speaker 1: eating every week? Um? Well, I try to get their feedback. Um. Obviously,
- 33:01Speaker 1: the jerseys and things like that, what we wear are
- 33:04Speaker 1: dictated by who's the home team and kind of what
- 33:06Speaker 1: our marketing plans are and and all that, and then
- 33:09Speaker 1: whatever the visiting team. Besides, we basically do the opposite,
- 33:13Speaker 1: so jerseys are pretty much set. Um. But we do
- 33:16Speaker 1: go in and talk to some of the players and say, hey,
- 33:18Speaker 1: you know, what paints do you like, what color you
- 33:20Speaker 1: want to wear, what color socks you want to wear?
- 33:23Speaker 1: So well, we'll try to get their feedback on it. Um.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Nobody's always happy no matter what we wear. Somebody's always
- 33:29Speaker 1: on me, but you know, it's part of the deal,
- 33:31Speaker 1: and we like giving people a hard time about it.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Uh Abriy was just in there a minute ago, asking, um,
- 33:38Speaker 1: you know why we're wearing this, and I said, well,
- 33:39Speaker 1: we went around and ask all the really good players
- 33:42Speaker 1: what their opinion. He said, well, nobody asked me. There
- 33:45Speaker 1: you go. I don't know so, but that's but that's
- 33:49Speaker 1: kind of some of the ribbing we give in you know,
- 33:51Speaker 1: Cam Cam thinks he's a big fashion guy, so we'll
- 33:54Speaker 1: ask him a little bit. So, but it's all in
- 33:56Speaker 1: good fun in there. I would I would think so
- 34:01Speaker 1: it's it's it's not for the weak hearted, that's for sure.
- 34:04Speaker 1: When you walk in that equipment room, everybody is is
- 34:07Speaker 1: open and fair game in that room. All right, Jimmy,
- 34:10Speaker 1: are you ready to unveil the uniforms if you would, sir?
- 34:14Speaker 1: What are the Jaguars wearing this Sunday against the Texans
- 34:17Speaker 1: at n ERG Stadium. So we're going with the white jerseys.
- 34:23Speaker 1: We got Jason he's he's actually from Houston, so when
- 34:27Speaker 1: we got him, got him going there and then even
- 34:32Speaker 1: though it kind of looks the same, we're going white pants,
- 34:34Speaker 1: but we're gonna wear the black sox with it. So
- 34:38Speaker 1: and Jason does a little neat thing where we take
- 34:40Speaker 1: some tights and sew it on there so he doesn't
- 34:42Speaker 1: get fined and then ship skin. So we we'll wear
- 34:44Speaker 1: the white jerseys, white pants with black socks. Whoa, that's
- 34:48Speaker 1: that's quite the contraption right there to those pants. Now
- 34:51Speaker 1: the tights are sewn into the bottom of the thing,
- 34:54Speaker 1: so so he doesn't get in trouble for showing his skin,
- 34:57Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, So it gives the appearance of that
- 34:59Speaker 1: is box are pulled up and then he can kind
- 35:02Speaker 1: of wear like midcalf socks and not have to worry
- 35:04Speaker 1: about it. So it's all things. Think that's why I
- 35:07Speaker 1: kind of brought that. I thought that was kind of
- 35:08Speaker 1: a neat little thing for everybody to see that you
- 35:11Speaker 1: don't really notice on the field, but um, you know,
- 35:13Speaker 1: we try to help those guys out with some of
- 35:14Speaker 1: that stuff. So they they've taken the trick we used
- 35:18Speaker 1: to cut off the bottom of the socks. So you
- 35:20Speaker 1: wear two fair of socks, you would cut off the
- 35:22Speaker 1: bottom and put that on over top of your second layer,
- 35:25Speaker 1: so you could wear the booties or the footies or
- 35:27Speaker 1: whatever it is that you wanted to wear, but now
- 35:28Speaker 1: the equipment team is all on it. Look at you guys. Yeah,
- 35:32Speaker 1: it just says that because sometimes guys, you know, like
- 35:35Speaker 1: some of these guys have giant calves and even when
- 35:37Speaker 1: you cut the socks, it's just so tight on them
- 35:39Speaker 1: that that makes it easier just to take a pair
- 35:41Speaker 1: of types and do that. So, Um, there's all sorts
- 35:44Speaker 1: of little tricks we try to do. You know, if
- 35:46Speaker 1: they want to leave their shirt on tuck, we try
- 35:48Speaker 1: to give them the same color shirt as the pants
- 35:50Speaker 1: at least so it's not as noticeable, you know. So
- 35:53Speaker 1: there's some things we try to do to help them
- 35:55Speaker 1: so they don't get fined. And look at that ingenuity
- 36:00Speaker 1: in the equipment room. I remember this was when Brad
- 36:02Speaker 1: Measter played. Look how you'll remember this when he had
- 36:06Speaker 1: his jersey but it had like a button underneath between
- 36:09Speaker 1: his legs. The jersey went all the way down there
- 36:12Speaker 1: and that's kind of high a ward. Yeah, there's a
- 36:18Speaker 1: he did that. He did that his whole career. And
- 36:20Speaker 1: there was another jag that um that did that that
- 36:23Speaker 1: we had in Atlanta, UM, Grady Jackson, And sometimes those
- 36:26Speaker 1: big guys. Not the greatest thing to help him get
- 36:29Speaker 1: in and out of that, but you know, it keeps
- 36:32Speaker 1: her shirt tucked in and um, but it's kind of
- 36:34Speaker 1: a neat thing, you know, and it's did you build
- 36:37Speaker 1: a little bond with him when you help him like that?
- 36:40Speaker 1: I think so you might have to go button that yourself, sir.
- 36:45Speaker 1: All right, Jimmy, well done. That's what the Jaguars are
- 36:48Speaker 1: wearing this Sunday in Houston. And let's go get a
- 36:52Speaker 1: w down of the n r G Stadium. How about it, Jimmy,

- 39:13Speaker 1: Back Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group
- 39:16Speaker 1: on this Wednesday, We're getting ready for the Houston Texans.
- 39:19Speaker 1: The Jags and the Texans the a f C South Battle.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Jags at one and three, they dropped three straight, the
- 39:26Speaker 1: Texans at oh and four and no head coach. Well,
- 39:29Speaker 1: the interim head coach is now Romeo Cornell after they
- 39:31Speaker 1: fired Bill O'Brien on Monday. So turmoil in Houston. But
- 39:36Speaker 1: we heard what Gardner Minshew had to say about that
- 39:39Speaker 1: earlier today if you didn't check out his press conference
- 39:41Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com. The Jags have introduced Jags at Home,
- 39:45Speaker 1: an interactive second screen experience on Jaguars game days that

- 39:54Speaker 1: game day. Visit Jags at Home dot com and they'll
- 39:58Speaker 1: be ready to roll this Sunday as well. Let's let's
- 40:01Speaker 1: before we get to the Scouts view and Big Game
- 40:04Speaker 1: Jaguar those are coming up. Let's touch on a little
- 40:08Speaker 1: the NFL news, guys. The latest COVID nineteen news. The
- 40:13Speaker 1: Titans had two more positives, so their building is still closed.
- 40:18Speaker 1: So obviously this week's game against the Bills is up
- 40:21Speaker 1: in the air. But apparently reports now, guys that they
- 40:25Speaker 1: broke protocols and gathered for a workout off site at
- 40:29Speaker 1: some point last week. This is not This is not
- 40:34Speaker 1: going away in Tennessee, Bucky, very easily. No, it's not
- 40:38Speaker 1: going away. And sometimes you have to protect players against themselves.
- 40:42Speaker 1: And so they're sitting there and they're trying to when
- 40:44Speaker 1: everyone would tell you to get extra workouts in and
- 40:47Speaker 1: the camaraderie of coming together whatever in this climate, that
- 40:51Speaker 1: is not what you want to do. And so yeah,
- 40:53Speaker 1: they're probably gonna get hefty fines, they're going to be penalized,
- 40:56Speaker 1: and they may miss another game because the COVID testing
- 41:00Speaker 1: has turned up a couple more positive tests and and
- 41:03Speaker 1: John is happening another one in New England. Of course
- 41:08Speaker 1: with the Gilmore we've heard about, and that domino effect
- 41:12Speaker 1: is not quite started to fall as of yet. We
- 41:14Speaker 1: hope it doesn't, but that's another big name. Yeah it is,
- 41:20Speaker 1: And I don't know what's gonna You don't know how
- 41:23Speaker 1: the Gilmore things going to expand, so it's impossible to
- 41:28Speaker 1: really comment on that yet. But getting back to the
- 41:30Speaker 1: Tennessee thing, and you know, rivalry aside, this is between
- 41:34Speaker 1: matter what team we're talking about. When the Saints got
- 41:38Speaker 1: punished for was it bounty gate way back when the
- 41:43Speaker 1: hefty punishment was sort of about a blatant disregard for
- 41:48Speaker 1: what was right in the NFL, this is going to
- 41:52Speaker 1: be that same thing if they find out, if the
- 41:55Speaker 1: league indeed does find out that there was a blatant
- 41:57Speaker 1: disregard for COVID rule and for just sort of flaunting
- 42:02Speaker 1: when you're told not to when you go ahead and
- 42:04Speaker 1: do it. It's like when I was raising my son,
- 42:07Speaker 1: it's one of you made a mistake. If I said, Jake,
- 42:09Speaker 1: don't do that and he went and did it, that
- 42:12Speaker 1: was different. And as you know, JP, he did that
- 42:14Speaker 1: a lot. But this is gonna be a real deal
- 42:18Speaker 1: in terms of punishment. I don't know if it's draft
- 42:20Speaker 1: picks or forfeiting or what, but this feels like not
- 42:24Speaker 1: a slap on the wrist. It feels like a message
- 42:27Speaker 1: is going to be saying a hard message. And I'm
- 42:29Speaker 1: fascinated to see how it's going to play out, because
- 42:31Speaker 1: if it indeed was a blatant thing where they said
- 42:34Speaker 1: we're going to go practice after the commissioner told us
- 42:36Speaker 1: not to wow, be bad. Yeah, and this one, this
- 42:43Speaker 1: story is obviously just beginning to boil over and we'll
- 42:48Speaker 1: follow it as the rest of you will throughout the
- 42:51Speaker 1: coming days and weeks. And by the way, Jake is
- 42:54Speaker 1: a a as a perfect angel, John. They didn't do
- 42:57Speaker 1: anything wrong. Come on, well fair still paying for it? Right?
- 43:05Speaker 1: That's okay? I mean, if that happens, let's get the
- 43:07Speaker 1: Scouts view this week. Guys and Bucky, we want to
- 43:10Speaker 1: hear your take on the Jaguars wide receiver corps. It
- 43:15Speaker 1: was a heralded group coming into this season. There was
- 43:18Speaker 1: a lot of high hopes I think for that for
- 43:21Speaker 1: that unit, Um, what is your take so far on them?
- 43:25Speaker 1: Have they lived up to that expectation? I think they have. JP,
- 43:29Speaker 1: I think you should be pleasantly surprised by the work
- 43:31Speaker 1: that we're seeing from the Jaguars wide receiver corps. Um
- 43:34Speaker 1: d Jhark has has been solid when he's been on
- 43:37Speaker 1: the field. You see labiscustionat has come on like game busters,
- 43:40Speaker 1: and Keeling Cold is still the chain mover that you want.
- 43:43Speaker 1: I think the big disappointment for me would be Chris
- 43:45Speaker 1: Connelly because he's had some drops that have plagued his play.
- 43:48Speaker 1: But right now, I think the strength of the Jaguars
- 43:51Speaker 1: squad would be the consistency of the wide receiver corps
- 43:55Speaker 1: and the diversity that they have a month to corp.
- 43:57Speaker 1: I think this is something that you certainly can build
- 44:00Speaker 1: on and going forward as they continue to rebuild this team,
- 44:03Speaker 1: I think they should feel good about the pass catches
- 44:05Speaker 1: that they have on the perimeter. John, what are your
- 44:10Speaker 1: thoughts about this group so far? Obviously was should not
- 44:13Speaker 1: jumping in and playing well. That's an added booze chart.
- 44:16Speaker 1: We knew was going to be very good. But um,
- 44:19Speaker 1: it's been nice so far to see these guys actually
- 44:22Speaker 1: playing pretty well. You would say it's it's as expected.
- 44:26Speaker 1: I mean, I thought d J. Again, I thought he
- 44:29Speaker 1: was gonna develop. I didn't know if he was going
- 44:31Speaker 1: to be an elite one. I think he's showing he's that.
- 44:34Speaker 1: To me, Channault's far ahead of what I expect from
- 44:36Speaker 1: rookie receiver because that I just don't expect much out
- 44:39Speaker 1: of rookies. I think he's going to get better and
- 44:41Speaker 1: better as he learns more about the nuances of the game.
- 44:44Speaker 1: And Keenan Keena McCard out the Jaguars wide receivers coach,
- 44:47Speaker 1: he's going to teach him that. Uh So, I think
- 44:50Speaker 1: they've got two guys they can go build around, and
- 44:52Speaker 1: then beyond that, I'm not really surprised at the rest
- 44:56Speaker 1: of it, because I think the guys are what we
- 44:57Speaker 1: thought they were, So, you know, I absolutely think it's
- 45:02Speaker 1: a good group. I think it's almost unfair or it's
- 45:05Speaker 1: hard to gauge them incredibly well, because when you're so
- 45:11Speaker 1: far down all the time, the opponent knows what kind
- 45:16Speaker 1: of routes you're going to have to run. I would
- 45:18Speaker 1: love to see the entire offense play a couple of
- 45:20Speaker 1: games where they have a three point lead or they're
- 45:23Speaker 1: in it, because then the defense doesn't know what you're
- 45:26Speaker 1: gonna play. So I think in that sense, Shark is
- 45:30Speaker 1: able to thrive because no matter what you do against him,
- 45:32Speaker 1: he's gonna thrive. Most receivers need some sort of scheming
- 45:36Speaker 1: and help. It's harder to do that when you're so
- 45:38Speaker 1: far behind the way the game goes. Yeah, there's no
- 45:46Speaker 1: doubt about that. So there's our scouts tech. Thank you
- 45:48Speaker 1: very much for that. This week, let's get now to
- 45:51Speaker 1: our big game Jaguar of the Week, where we pick
- 45:54Speaker 1: our jaguar to have a big game for the Jags
- 45:57Speaker 1: this week against the Houston Texas. We're gonna switch up
- 45:59Speaker 1: the order this week. Throw a curveball at you guys.
- 46:01Speaker 1: I'm going first, and I'm going with James Robinson. The
- 46:04Speaker 1: Jaguars wide are running back. He's been fantastic. Of course,
- 46:08Speaker 1: the most scrimmage yards through four games were undrafted rookie
- 46:12Speaker 1: in league history. He's fantastic so far. Can they run
- 46:16Speaker 1: the ball a bit more? Can they balance out this
- 46:18Speaker 1: offense to the point we just kind of made there
- 46:20Speaker 1: and heard from John and Buckey, it would help if
- 46:23Speaker 1: they were in a second half where they had a
- 46:26Speaker 1: tie or a lead or were close and could stick
- 46:29Speaker 1: with that running game and see how he can really
- 46:31Speaker 1: play in that scenario. But I think they're going to
- 46:34Speaker 1: give him the ball and I think he's my big
- 46:37Speaker 1: game Jaguar for this week in Houston, especially considering that
- 46:40Speaker 1: the Texans have struggled a bit against the run this year. Johnny, Oh,
- 46:43Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Well, maybe you could
- 46:46Speaker 1: just go again, JPM, because you're going first. Now I
- 46:49Speaker 1: just go. You take It's uh, I'm a bitter man,
- 46:55Speaker 1: like I'm a bitter, bitter person. I think she is
- 47:00Speaker 1: intriguing this week. He needs to have a big game
- 47:02Speaker 1: because you need somebody aside from d Jhark in the
- 47:06Speaker 1: passing game. What I wonder about Stinald and I don't
- 47:09Speaker 1: know the answer to it. How will he continue to develop?
- 47:14Speaker 1: He had five catches Brady sick last week I think
- 47:16Speaker 1: it was or he was in that rain. That's enough
- 47:19Speaker 1: to make coordinators really watch him. Now. He still needs developing.
- 47:23Speaker 1: He still doesn't. He's not a great route runner, not
- 47:26Speaker 1: great with his hands. Yet how quickly is he developing
- 47:29Speaker 1: on that front? Can he back up a very productive
- 47:33Speaker 1: week last week with another productive week this week? Starts
- 47:36Speaker 1: showing consistency that veteran receivers usually start showing. But he's
- 47:40Speaker 1: going to figure out a way to contribute somehow because
- 47:43Speaker 1: he's so athletic and can do so many things. All right,
- 47:46Speaker 1: I started this all strong, osure kind of got us
- 47:50Speaker 1: through the middle of the race. But now the anchor leg,
- 47:52Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, is gonna bring us on home with his
- 47:54Speaker 1: what do you yeah, I'm gonna bring you home. And
- 47:56Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that Garner Minshew has the big sumbrero
- 47:59Speaker 1: this he has to wear the big head. He needs
- 48:01Speaker 1: to be the big game Jaguar because they needed to
- 48:03Speaker 1: play at a high level. I know we saw and
- 48:05Speaker 1: we've talked about him throwing for over three fifty yards
- 48:08Speaker 1: against the Bengals, but I want to see him do
- 48:10Speaker 1: it when it really matters. This is the week for
- 48:13Speaker 1: them to be able to do it, because I do
- 48:15Speaker 1: believe James Robinson should have success running the ball. That
- 48:18Speaker 1: should enable Gardner. Means you to be able to throw
- 48:20Speaker 1: the ball in favorable situations. He has shown that he
- 48:23Speaker 1: can do that. Let's see him do it at a
- 48:25Speaker 1: high level. This is the week for him to do so.
- 48:29Speaker 1: All right, there you have it. I've got Robinson, Oshan
- 48:32Speaker 1: hash and all Bucky has Gardner Minshew with the big sombrero.
- 48:35Speaker 1: I like that reference. Very nice, well done, Bucky. Alright,
- 48:39Speaker 1: final thought here feel for this game this week. It's
- 48:42Speaker 1: a combined one and seven record between the teams, so
- 48:45Speaker 1: it's not the ideal on paper matchup that's gonna get
- 48:49Speaker 1: a lot of national buzz. But obviously both teams need
- 48:53Speaker 1: this game for really similar reasons. The Texans are in turmoil.
- 48:57Speaker 1: The Jaguars have dropped three straight. John, how's this when
- 48:59Speaker 1: gonna feel on Sunday? Well, I feel better about it
- 49:04Speaker 1: than I did last week. I've had a bad feeling
- 49:08Speaker 1: all last week about the Cincinnati game because it felt
- 49:10Speaker 1: like they were ready to break out. So I don't
- 49:13Speaker 1: necessarily feel that way about the Texans until they fired O'Brien,
- 49:17Speaker 1: and I worry about the adrenaline thing a little bit. Uh.
- 49:21Speaker 1: They're not that bad, the Texans. They're not owing for bad.
- 49:24Speaker 1: They play us to have schedule but they're also not
- 49:26Speaker 1: playing up to what they were supposed to play too.
- 49:28Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with the Jags, but it's going
- 49:32Speaker 1: to take what Bucky just talked about. Gardeners got to
- 49:36Speaker 1: wear the sombrero for me to feel great about the Jags.
- 49:40Speaker 1: I think he does it this week. You know, this
- 49:43Speaker 1: is a tough one, JP, because I feel like this
- 49:46Speaker 1: game is going to play out like the other games,
- 49:48Speaker 1: particularly in the first half. I feel like the momentum
- 49:50Speaker 1: from the Texans early they've probably come hot off the gate.
- 49:54Speaker 1: But I do believe because the Jaguars have played in
- 49:56Speaker 1: so many of these games, the offense will get them
- 49:57Speaker 1: back in and then it's up to the defense to
- 50:00Speaker 1: find a couple of stops in the third and fourth quarter.
- 50:03Speaker 1: Don't expect him to dominate the game, but just a
- 50:05Speaker 1: couple of times, almost like an arena ball game. If
- 50:07Speaker 1: they can just get two or three stops, I think
- 50:09Speaker 1: that is more than enough for them to be ever
- 50:11Speaker 1: win because the offense should have their way against the
- 50:13Speaker 1: Texans defense. Yeah, they forced one point last week. That
- 50:18Speaker 1: was on the opening drive against Cincinnati. We had the
- 50:20Speaker 1: interception after the drive, but they didn't stop him the
- 50:23Speaker 1: rest of the day stop a turnover, something to to
- 50:27Speaker 1: get the Texans off the field was certainly helped there.
- 50:29Speaker 1: A guy's well done. We got through another program. Johnny
- 50:32Speaker 1: O will talk to you a little later in the week,
- 50:34Speaker 1: and Bucky, we will talk to you on post game
- 50:37Speaker 1: this coming Sunday. Appreciate it, guys, all right, John, Bucky
- 50:45Speaker 1: Brooks for our entire crew, I'm JP, Shandrick. Thank you
- 50:48Speaker 1: for watching this Wednesday edition of Jaguar's Happy Hour, presented
- 50:53Speaker 1: by the Fields Auto Group from the Jaguars Digital Network.
