0:54
Speaker 5: Good?
0:55
Speaker 6: Doing good?
0:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, Philly, look good?
0:57
Speaker 7: Do we got a finable offense here? For Gladston being late?
1:00
Speaker 6: Oh, he might be busy. I don't know if I'll
1:02
Speaker 6: be working on stuff. You never know what he's doing.
1:05
Speaker 6: As a mystery.
1:05
Speaker 4: Trade deadline is already passed, so that's not going on
1:09
Speaker 4: trade anybody because he's just too late for that.
1:11
Speaker 3: Oh.
1:11
Speaker 4: Here he is, James Gladstone making his way into the studio,
1:15
Speaker 4: Jaguars general manager.
1:16
Speaker 3: Welcome in, James, fresh off a lap.
1:20
Speaker 2: Oh here, you had to sprint the last phase and
1:22
Speaker 2: that I was going to be a little late back.
1:24
Speaker 4: It's been a busy week in this Jaguars front office.
1:28
Speaker 4: Let's begin with the effort and the grit and the
1:31
Speaker 4: win in Las Vegas with I mean the injury report
1:35
Speaker 4: going into the game, but then end game.
1:38
Speaker 3: Guys are dropping.
1:39
Speaker 4: You're bringing guys who were on a practice squad into
1:42
Speaker 4: the lineup in the fourth quarter and overtime, and it
1:45
Speaker 4: just showed some resiliency from this football team preach.
1:47
Speaker 2: I think that was something that, you know, thinking back
1:50
Speaker 2: to a lot of our discussions that took place in
1:52
Speaker 2: preseasons games, what's our response look like when things don't
1:55
Speaker 2: go perfect?
1:56
Speaker 3: You know?
1:56
Speaker 2: And I think that was a great reflection of so
1:58
Speaker 2: many players responding the right way, our coaching staff responding
2:03
Speaker 2: the right way.
2:05
Speaker 8: It did take everybody that.
2:06
Speaker 2: Was on the grass to bring that to life, you know, obviously,
2:10
Speaker 2: on the final play of the game, we had some
2:13
Speaker 2: errors and luckily we got somebody who stepped up and
2:17
Speaker 2: was able to make a play I mean without divine
2:21
Speaker 2: in that situation, I mean floating right.
2:23
Speaker 7: Can we can we measure that vertical?
2:25
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the hang time was the impressive
2:28
Speaker 2: peace in that one. He was definitely hovering to oh yeah, levitating.
2:34
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a phenomenal moment.
2:37
Speaker 8: Certainly gave everyone a chance to you know, maybe pause.
2:43
Speaker 7: Literally I'm looking at the open guys, God, oh my god,
2:47
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden, frank, you.
2:49
Speaker 3: Know, it's blocked.
2:51
Speaker 7: It's blocked.
2:51
Speaker 3: I'm like, by whom I had no idea?
2:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think, But so many great moments to
2:58
Speaker 2: look at in that game as meaningful, impactful in the outcome. Obviously,
3:03
Speaker 2: to be able to have a point on the board
3:06
Speaker 2: going into half and having a kick from Cam that
3:10
Speaker 2: you know, shook a lot of folks for us in
3:13
Speaker 2: the right way.
3:14
Speaker 8: For others, it allowed us.
3:16
Speaker 2: Just a little bit of an edge that we needed
3:19
Speaker 2: going into halftime. And you know, I think that even
3:22
Speaker 2: the decision to call a time out right when Liam
3:25
Speaker 2: did early on that drive was really impressive because there
3:29
Speaker 2: are plenty of people that may have decided otherwise. You know, hey, yes,
3:33
Speaker 2: stop for a short gain, so let's just take it
3:34
Speaker 2: to halftime. Right, That's a that's a very smart decision
3:38
Speaker 2: at that moment.
3:39
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I want to point out that the long completion,
3:42
Speaker 7: I think it was like seventeen eighteen yards to Parker,
3:45
Speaker 7: the way that he came back to the ball, it's
3:48
Speaker 7: great play by him. I did in a film room
3:50
Speaker 7: this week. Was just a savvy, veteran smart play by park.
3:55
Speaker 2: That was everything we needed in that moment. You know,
3:59
Speaker 2: it wasn't perfect in any sense, but guys were out
4:03
Speaker 2: there making plays. They were above the x's and o's
4:05
Speaker 2: and so many different instances across the board in all
4:09
Speaker 2: three phases, and you know, those are the types of
4:12
Speaker 2: wins that you look back.
4:13
Speaker 8: On and you're certainly.
4:15
Speaker 2: Glad to be in that column right the left column.
4:19
Speaker 2: But coming into the season, the emphasis was in one
4:23
Speaker 2: score games, how do we learn to win and what
4:26
Speaker 2: are some of the things that we can do in
4:28
Speaker 2: order to make it so that when our best is required,
4:31
Speaker 2: were showing up and we're not at the end of
4:34
Speaker 2: the season looking back saying those were still hurdles for
4:38
Speaker 2: us to overcome.
4:39
Speaker 3: I don't recall.
4:41
Speaker 7: In my time in the NFL to where a field
4:45
Speaker 7: goal seemed to ignite a team. I mean it felt
4:49
Speaker 7: like that. I mean, would you guys say the same thing.
4:52
Speaker 5: Oh, I thought it was a critical, critical moment. I'll
4:58
Speaker 5: be honest with you.
4:58
Speaker 6: I probably wouldn't have called time out if I was
5:00
Speaker 6: the coach after that short game, probably would have said, hey,
5:03
Speaker 6: get let's just get into half in regroup. It was
5:05
Speaker 6: bad first half because nothing was going our way at
5:08
Speaker 6: the long drive ended, the interception after you know, first
5:11
Speaker 6: and goal on the one and so nothing positive. That
5:16
Speaker 6: gives Liam a ton of credit for fighting through the
5:20
Speaker 6: final whistle of the first half and then just to
5:22
Speaker 6: have the guts, the ability or a kicker who has
5:28
Speaker 6: the ability to hit from sixty eight.
5:30
Speaker 5: I mean I think that God everyone's used.
5:33
Speaker 6: I mean, it felt like being in the stadium from
5:37
Speaker 6: a very melancholy kind of down thirty or twenty nine
5:43
Speaker 6: minutes and fifty four seconds to the last six seconds
5:48
Speaker 6: of like oh my, let's go, like we're ready.
5:51
Speaker 5: You could feel it, you could sense it.
5:53
Speaker 6: So it was a big, big time kick and it
5:55
Speaker 6: does take some guts because paying attention to raiders have
5:59
Speaker 6: a return guy back there, yea, yeah, you have to
6:02
Speaker 6: have confidence your guy can at least get it through
6:04
Speaker 6: the end zone, because if not, you now have.
6:07
Speaker 3: A bunch of Boselli's covered, a bunch.
6:09
Speaker 6: Of chasing down a returner. We've seen many times by
6:15
Speaker 6: the way JP's lived it with the iron ball.
6:17
Speaker 3: Well, the Jags lifted here.
6:20
Speaker 6: That's exactly right, and so that's a dangerous play in
6:23
Speaker 6: the confidence in cam by Liam and Heath especially coordinator
6:27
Speaker 6: and the whole team, and for him to deliver there,
6:30
Speaker 6: that's big.
6:30
Speaker 7: And the execution of the clock play after the completion
6:34
Speaker 7: to Parker Washington, the way Parker got up, ran the
6:37
Speaker 7: ball right back to the official right where it needed
6:40
Speaker 7: to be, you know, and hands it to Hansey hands
6:42
Speaker 7: he puts it down. The official literally just touched the balls.
6:44
Speaker 7: He didn't even move it, And I mean that was
6:47
Speaker 7: just something.
6:48
Speaker 2: And there's no time out, so yet your field goal
6:50
Speaker 2: unit coming on and you're gonna have to kick right away.
6:54
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to get lined up, make sure everybody
6:56
Speaker 2: squared away, because you don't have a time out to
6:58
Speaker 2: work with in order to make that train this or
7:00
Speaker 2: everybody's in a little bit of a hurry.
7:02
Speaker 4: Excellent play, Tony Poselli, James Gladstone with us on JAG's HQ. Well,
7:06
Speaker 4: Jacoby Myers was playing on the other side on Sunday
7:09
Speaker 4: for the Las Vegas Raiders, and three days later he's
7:12
Speaker 4: in the Jaguars locker room after the trade.
7:15
Speaker 3: Two draft picks going to Vegas.
7:17
Speaker 4: Fourth and sixth rounder next year to bring in Jacoby Myers,
7:21
Speaker 4: a guy who was an undrafted player coming out Patriots Raiders.
7:26
Speaker 4: Seems super consistent catching the football, and now how difficult
7:31
Speaker 4: is this? And then take us through first the trade itself,
7:34
Speaker 4: when did it begin, How busy was the deadline for
7:37
Speaker 4: you this year? And then how'd you come to the
7:39
Speaker 4: deal with.
7:41
Speaker 3: Jacoby?
7:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think there's a lot there.
7:43
Speaker 2: I'll certainly try and work in at your cadence, But
7:46
Speaker 2: I know, just going back to one of the first elements, right,
7:49
Speaker 2: the idea of Jacoby going from West coast to East coast,
7:53
Speaker 2: operating on a totally different internal clock. Right, so he arrives,
7:57
Speaker 2: let's just give everybody an idea on Wednesday morning.
8:02
Speaker 3: Right, okay, red ife flight, Yeah.
8:04
Speaker 2: I should say this Wednesday night, arrives at the facility
8:07
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning for his physical job. So he gets up
8:10
Speaker 2: at five am for a physical. That's two am West Coast.
8:13
Speaker 6: Time after landing in Jacksonville PM Tuesday night.
8:17
Speaker 8: So let's then we got a full work day.
8:20
Speaker 2: Okay, So passes the physical, he's into the team meeting,
8:25
Speaker 2: He's now into position meetings, group meetings, walk through practice
8:29
Speaker 2: before he ever ends his day. Right, great walkthrough, great practice,
8:34
Speaker 2: very efficient. But to go through the whirlwind of looking
8:37
Speaker 2: across and you're wait a minute, I'm actually in a
8:41
Speaker 2: practice session with the same guy that was covering me
8:45
Speaker 2: forty eight hours ago in Las Vegas. This is an
8:48
Speaker 2: odd sensation, right, this is a weird feeling. So not
8:51
Speaker 2: only are you going through the physical elements, but now
8:53
Speaker 2: you're going through this some version of a spin right, Yeah,
8:58
Speaker 2: twilight zone where you're like, what the heck is.
9:01
Speaker 7: Going You're not mentioning what what he has to go
9:03
Speaker 7: through to get out of Vegas to get here. I mean,
9:06
Speaker 7: you know, throwing something in a suitcase and then leaving behind.
9:09
Speaker 8: How much do you actually have with you?
9:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's not plenty two hours after you found.
9:15
Speaker 2: Out, Right, it moves fast, There's no doubt about it,
9:17
Speaker 2: but I can any.
9:19
Speaker 7: Service that helps people kind of do that. You know, Hey, NFL,
9:23
Speaker 7: I got traded.
9:24
Speaker 3: You know.
9:26
Speaker 2: My stuff operations staff that they go full support mode
9:30
Speaker 2: and do what they can to make it as seamless
9:33
Speaker 2: as possible, knowing it's just a it's an imperfect science,
9:36
Speaker 2: but nonetheless, uh, in the lead up to any any
9:40
Speaker 2: trade deadline, there are general conversations that happen with every
9:45
Speaker 2: front office. The conversation specific to Jakobe didn't actually truly
9:50
Speaker 2: come to life until day after our game and any
9:54
Speaker 2: sort of movement, offer, discussion, negotiation, all that kind of
9:58
Speaker 2: stuff happened then to become official until Tuesday about what
10:03
Speaker 2: was it mid morning or so. I don't know the
10:07
Speaker 2: exact time, but that was roughly the timeline behind a
10:10
Speaker 2: lot of that conversation. And I think a big reason
10:13
Speaker 2: as to why we prioritized Jacoby at this stage was
10:17
Speaker 2: certainly going through symmetriction at the wide receiver position. As
10:21
Speaker 2: of right now, Jacoby is someone who certainly has a
10:26
Speaker 2: specialized skill set in terms of the consistency in which
10:30
Speaker 2: he catches the ball. We've been having an issue there.
10:33
Speaker 2: You got to feel like, oh, if there's an opportunity
10:35
Speaker 2: to address that with somebody who's very gifted in that arena,
10:40
Speaker 2: why not discuss it, work through it, try to bring
10:42
Speaker 2: it to life, and so certainly feel good from that
10:46
Speaker 2: lens beyond it.
10:48
Speaker 8: Know through many.
10:51
Speaker 2: Avenues what he's like as a human being, what he's
10:55
Speaker 2: like as a teammate. We've had eb who spent time
11:00
Speaker 2: with him in Las Vegas. Coach that's right, and so
11:04
Speaker 2: some of those items helped. Okay, obviously bringing him in
11:08
Speaker 2: at the midpoint of the season, what's the acclamation period
11:12
Speaker 2: going to look like? You have intimate knowledgey be on
11:15
Speaker 2: on what his capacity is mentally, how seamless of a
11:19
Speaker 2: transition that could be, or what verbage may need to
11:23
Speaker 2: be bridged.
11:24
Speaker 8: In order to accelerate that transition.
11:26
Speaker 2: And so you work through a lot of that and
11:28
Speaker 2: the lead up to make sure that this isn't something
11:30
Speaker 2: that you feel like gonna take too long before we
11:33
Speaker 2: actually reap the rewards or impact of And I think
11:37
Speaker 2: it was pretty clear to see through the first couple
11:39
Speaker 2: of practices that you know, we probably see a strong
11:43
Speaker 2: match in terms of system and skill from him as
11:47
Speaker 2: a as a player. Look forward to seeing that come
11:50
Speaker 2: to life when the lights are brightest, but certainly through
11:53
Speaker 2: the first forty eight hours, it feels like it was
11:56
Speaker 2: a strong decision.
11:57
Speaker 7: I would imagine when you trade for a player of
12:01
Speaker 7: mid season, I mean, intelligence has got to be a
12:03
Speaker 7: big factor, just because the ability to pick up his
12:05
Speaker 7: system and hit the ground running. Otherwise you're really not
12:08
Speaker 7: going to get benefit from that player for how long
12:12
Speaker 7: it takes. I mean, you know, and prior to the
12:16
Speaker 7: Raiders game, I actually was watching some of the interviews
12:19
Speaker 7: on the Raiders website and happened to come across a
12:22
Speaker 7: couple of the Jacobi Meyer clips where he was being interviewed.
12:27
Speaker 7: Super intelligent guy, at least he comes off that way
12:29
Speaker 7: in the interviews that he had super aware and the
12:35
Speaker 7: way he handled that whole request of wanting to be traded.
12:39
Speaker 7: I don't know if I've ever seen a player handle
12:42
Speaker 7: that situation which he's let it be known that he'd
12:44
Speaker 7: like to be traded. I've never seen a player handle
12:47
Speaker 7: it as classy as he did in that situation. And
12:51
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to blow smoke because he's a Jaguar Now.
12:53
Speaker 7: I'd say the same thing if he was still with
12:56
Speaker 7: the Raiders. I mean, I was impressed I mean, it
12:58
Speaker 7: really stuck. Obviously, it's out to me and it stuck
13:01
Speaker 7: with me just because he impressed me by watching that.
13:04
Speaker 2: I think that says a lot about who he is obviously,
13:07
Speaker 2: you know, to project that to move the way that
13:09
Speaker 2: he did despite it being a challenging situation, it says
13:14
Speaker 2: a lot. And I think obviously you see the real
13:18
Speaker 2: root of humans when you're going through an adverse moment.
13:21
Speaker 2: We got to see that from Afar in Jacob in particular,
13:24
Speaker 2: because it wasn't all picture perfect, right and he was
13:27
Speaker 2: still able to do his thing and move in a
13:29
Speaker 2: professional manner. We know we're going to go through some
13:32
Speaker 2: adverse moments here the rest of the season. It's not
13:34
Speaker 2: going to be picture perfect the rest of the way,
13:36
Speaker 2: and hopefully he can continue to showcase that and we
13:40
Speaker 2: feel the benefits.
13:42
Speaker 8: Of it all.
13:42
Speaker 4: Ruys, let's come back and we'll dig into the Houston Texans.
13:46
Speaker 4: Let's do that, and the matchup in week ten at
13:47
Speaker 4: AFC South showed out the most important game in franchise history.
13:51
Speaker 3: Because it is the one, it's the next one. It's
13:53
Speaker 3: pretty important.
13:53
Speaker 8: JP.
13:54
Speaker 4: It certainly is, and this is Jagg's HQ on the
13:56
Speaker 4: Jaguars Radio Network.
14:07
Speaker 3: Welcome Back.
14:08
Speaker 1: Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues right now.
14:13
Speaker 4: JP Shatterick with Jeff Logovan joined by Tony Vassellia James
14:16
Speaker 4: Gladstone from the Hyundai studios of the mill Or Electric Center.
14:19
Speaker 4: It's Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida.
14:23
Speaker 7: Guess, Jeff, all right before we move on to the Texans,
14:26
Speaker 7: any other chatter and trade circles you know that interested
14:30
Speaker 7: you or did you get any phone calls from people saying, hey, uh, James,
14:35
Speaker 7: can we get this guy maybe for something?
14:38
Speaker 5: Yeah?
14:38
Speaker 8: You know, there was plenty of chatter.
14:41
Speaker 2: Nobody asking in any official way are any of your
14:46
Speaker 2: other players available? Going down those paths? We shut those
14:50
Speaker 2: down if they did come up. And I think beyond that,
14:53
Speaker 2: it was certainly interesting to see the rest of the
14:56
Speaker 2: the landscape of the league and the trades unfold, especially
15:00
Speaker 2: we in closer and closer to the buzzer, so to speak.
15:03
Speaker 8: A lot of big moves.
15:04
Speaker 2: A lot of first round picks, So that was that
15:07
Speaker 2: was certainly entertaining, especially if you're a fan, But even
15:12
Speaker 2: just being a part of the day in a real
15:14
Speaker 2: way was was certainly an energizing moment in time, and uh,
15:19
Speaker 2: I know it was certainly invigorating just to see that, Hey,
15:22
Speaker 2: this isn't the league isn't stagnant, right, this isn't a
15:27
Speaker 2: time in which the league has gone dormant during the
15:30
Speaker 2: trade deadline, and teams are doing their part to feel
15:34
Speaker 2: like they're making their team or their organization or setting
15:37
Speaker 2: making their team better or setting their organization up for
15:39
Speaker 2: the future, uh, in a real way. And I think
15:41
Speaker 2: that that offers Uh, you know, a lot of positives
15:44
Speaker 2: have how how to.
15:46
Speaker 7: Black does the league know? I mean, do you do
15:49
Speaker 7: you have like a like, is there a list of
15:51
Speaker 7: all GM's phone numbers? You guys can say hey, so
15:54
Speaker 7: you can get access to all these guys. Or they're
15:56
Speaker 7: a message board. Hey man, I got this guy. He's available.
15:59
Speaker 7: Anybody want to come and you know, take a look.
16:00
Speaker 8: For wild wile auctions.
16:10
Speaker 7: Have a message board for the.
16:15
Speaker 2: I mean that certainly would make things a little more efficient,
16:18
Speaker 2: but you probably build up the rollodex over the course
16:21
Speaker 2: of let's say, gms who have been in the seat
16:25
Speaker 2: for quite some time are going to have anybody who's
16:28
Speaker 2: been in the positions numbers. You end up getting those
16:32
Speaker 2: contacts over the course of an off season in season
16:36
Speaker 2: when you're together, so it's it becomes rather easy to
16:39
Speaker 2: just pick up the phone and have a conversation, Hey,
16:41
Speaker 2: is there anything you guys are looking for positionally? Is
16:44
Speaker 2: there anything that you guys are are looking to maybe
16:46
Speaker 2: shed positionally and then go from there. So it's usually
16:49
Speaker 2: general and it gets more specific. It's conversations message I
16:54
Speaker 2: would there's no doubt.
16:56
Speaker 3: Imagine the back and forth on those things. No way
17:00
Speaker 3: to be wild battles.
17:02
Speaker 6: I got first, keep on going up like.
17:08
Speaker 4: An auction right, Texans Jaguars coming up this Sunday.
17:15
Speaker 3: Can you imagine second matchup?
17:17
Speaker 4: Jaggs looking to sweep the season series against the Houston Texans,
17:21
Speaker 4: who have injury issues of their own and namely quarterback
17:24
Speaker 4: c J. Stroud in the concussion protocol. So Davis Mills
17:28
Speaker 4: will get the start. He had some starts against this team.
17:31
Speaker 4: It's been a few years. How different is Davis Mills
17:35
Speaker 4: than c J. Stroud in terms of skill set?
17:39
Speaker 2: Usually you're going to see some version of differentiation between
17:44
Speaker 2: QB one and QB two. What I do know is
17:47
Speaker 2: Davis stepped in last week and kept them as a
17:51
Speaker 2: competitive football team versus a very challenging team in the
17:56
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. He came in the same year as Nico Collins,
18:01
Speaker 2: so they have built up rapport just naturally with time
18:05
Speaker 2: spent together, even dating back to let's call it that
18:08
Speaker 2: offseason where rookies are playing with rookies and both of
18:11
Speaker 2: them are growing, so you know that there's gonna be
18:14
Speaker 2: something that they can sort of tap into from synergy standpoint,
18:18
Speaker 2: time on tasks together.
18:20
Speaker 8: He's gonna be a little.
18:21
Speaker 2: Less mobile than what we saw in CJ, but that
18:26
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that it stops in the pocket.
18:30
Speaker 8: He was able to extend some last week, and.
18:33
Speaker 2: I know that there's a point of emphasis from them
18:36
Speaker 2: to do so as they inch towards a starting situation
18:40
Speaker 2: for him. So it's certainly got to be something that
18:43
Speaker 2: we take into consideration. But when it comes to throwing
18:45
Speaker 2: the football, operating their offense efficiently, I think it was
18:48
Speaker 2: very vivid that even last week without any preparation, as
18:51
Speaker 2: QB one in the lead up, he's more than qualified
18:55
Speaker 2: to put points on the board.
18:56
Speaker 6: He started a lot of games and he's won games,
19:00
Speaker 6: So I mean, this is a guy you gotta you
19:03
Speaker 6: gotta go play good defense. You know, they they want
19:05
Speaker 6: to run the ball. That made it clear about that
19:08
Speaker 6: what he marks their rookies kind of taken over that
19:10
Speaker 6: top spot of running the ball, and he's done a
19:12
Speaker 6: great job. Uh and so we really liked coming to
19:16
Speaker 6: last year's draft, he's I really liked him.
19:18
Speaker 5: He's an s C guy, so I know.
19:23
Speaker 6: But they and they got they got the best defense
19:25
Speaker 6: in the NFL right now. Any every statistical measuring, data point,
19:31
Speaker 6: data point you'd measure, it's they're the best.
19:33
Speaker 7: I think Davis mill is the only team he has
19:35
Speaker 7: a winning record against the Jaguars.
19:38
Speaker 5: There you go. So we got to change to one.
19:40
Speaker 7: And he's only got five career wins, so I mean
19:43
Speaker 7: he's gotta be.
19:44
Speaker 3: You gotta do something about it.
19:45
Speaker 5: Change that.
19:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be nice.
19:47
Speaker 4: Devin Lloyd trending the right way to get back on
19:50
Speaker 4: the lineup, which is good.
19:51
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a fair way to phrase it.
19:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
19:55
Speaker 4: I got to have him back and obviously impactful early
19:57
Speaker 4: in the season. Have missed his presence lots.
19:59
Speaker 7: I I was watching him warm up before the game
20:03
Speaker 7: in Vegas and I was like, he looks ready to me.
20:10
Speaker 2: You were, just like everybody else that saw him yeah,
20:13
Speaker 2: last week, I would say, you don't want to put
20:17
Speaker 2: a player into a situation when it's high risk, higher
20:22
Speaker 2: risk than when they would typically be out on the field.
20:26
Speaker 2: So that was some version of he looks ready, feels ready.
20:31
Speaker 2: We got a long season ahead of it, Ockle, so
20:36
Speaker 2: that is kind of understand that. Yes, definitely the injury
20:39
Speaker 2: associated with it, and just how they can play the
20:43
Speaker 2: mind game on you, so to speak, and they can linger.
20:45
Speaker 2: So let's not put ourselves in a position where that
20:48
Speaker 2: could be the case. Despite us feeling good about where
20:52
Speaker 2: he's at and where he's trending, and it was the
20:54
Speaker 2: same for Tim Patrick. You know, he looked good, he
20:57
Speaker 2: felt good. We have to be cognizant of the fact
21:02
Speaker 2: that we got a long season still in front of us,
21:04
Speaker 2: and we're going to need both of them at full
21:07
Speaker 2: health coming back so that they're not at higher risk
21:10
Speaker 2: for reaggravation, which is where they were at ahead of
21:15
Speaker 2: that game. And so I think both of those guys
21:18
Speaker 2: are certainly going to put us in a better spot
21:20
Speaker 2: than when we wore last week having them both in
21:22
Speaker 2: the fray and certainly looking forward to Devin's energy, he
21:27
Speaker 2: was able to bring more than just the plays on
21:29
Speaker 2: the grass.
21:30
Speaker 8: He was leading the charge for our.
21:34
Speaker 2: Locker room conversations are on field conversations, huddling up the group,
21:38
Speaker 2: getting things going.
21:39
Speaker 8: Before the forty nine ers game.
21:40
Speaker 2: I mean he is a spark plug for that defensive unit,
21:44
Speaker 2: for the team as a whole. And so I know
21:46
Speaker 2: that the players coach is alike or all jack to
21:48
Speaker 2: see him back.
21:49
Speaker 8: In a helmet.
21:50
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think he also has a big impact
21:52
Speaker 7: on your pressure package.
21:54
Speaker 3: For he's your best blitz of lineback.
21:55
Speaker 5: Price you have and understanding, Yeah.
21:57
Speaker 7: Super athletic and so when you want to fix it up,
22:00
Speaker 7: I mean he's a great guy to be able to
22:01
Speaker 7: send if you want to drop an end of his
22:03
Speaker 7: own dog or true blitz's right.
22:05
Speaker 3: Well, you know he's a guy.
22:06
Speaker 6: Well, I think going back to what James said, because
22:08
Speaker 6: it's always important because I know fans are always wondering, like, hey,
22:11
Speaker 6: when these days they get back, they want to get back,
22:13
Speaker 6: And then you see a guy like Devin working out
22:15
Speaker 6: the way he is, like why is he he playing?
22:17
Speaker 6: But I think it speaks to the coordination between the
22:20
Speaker 6: medical staff and we have a great team led by
22:23
Speaker 6: Jeff Ferguson ferg and Kaplan, and they do a great
22:26
Speaker 6: job of cordating because the players always want to come back,
22:29
Speaker 6: and this is why I love about this locker room.
22:31
Speaker 6: They want to be on the field and so they're
22:33
Speaker 6: pushing to come back. And this is the coordination between
22:37
Speaker 6: the medical staff, the player, coaching staff, front office already
22:41
Speaker 6: working together of keeping the player's health first and foremost
22:45
Speaker 6: in mind.
22:46
Speaker 7: I always want to hold him back as opposed to
22:48
Speaker 7: having a push guy.
22:49
Speaker 6: And then and then long term of what it means
22:52
Speaker 6: for the individual player and the club. And so these
22:55
Speaker 6: are guys Tim Patrick and Devin Lloyd.
22:57
Speaker 8: Who were fighting, chomping at the time to get back
23:00
Speaker 8: on the field.
23:01
Speaker 3: Began began like in showing.
23:03
Speaker 6: In practice in situations like I'm ready to go. And
23:07
Speaker 6: this is where I really appreciate the leadership of the
23:10
Speaker 6: Ferg Kaplan coordination with Liam James and myself talking through
23:15
Speaker 6: this anario, what's best for the player, what's best for
23:18
Speaker 6: the organization.
23:19
Speaker 5: Let's do that.
23:19
Speaker 6: Let's not just take a short term version, make a
23:23
Speaker 6: short term decision that could have an impact of the
23:26
Speaker 6: player at US as a club long term. And so
23:28
Speaker 6: I think like how was handled, but at the same
23:31
Speaker 6: time itching to get Devin back out there and looking
23:33
Speaker 6: forward to see him out there against the Texans.
23:35
Speaker 4: Let's return and dig into this Texans defense and especially
23:38
Speaker 4: in the trenches, the matchup with the Jaguars offensive line
23:41
Speaker 4: this week against the Texans defensive front. This is Jags
23:45
Speaker 4: HQ on Jaguars Radio.
23:52
Speaker 1: Welcome back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida. Continues
23:57
Speaker 1: right now.
23:58
Speaker 4: Welcome back, JP Shatick, f Logohm, Tony Vasseli, James Gladstone
24:03
Speaker 4: in the studio with us.
24:04
Speaker 3: It's Jaggs HQ.
24:06
Speaker 5: All right.
24:07
Speaker 7: So a lot of people have been asking me how's
24:09
Speaker 7: Travis Hunter? So I'll ask you, guys, how's Travis Hunter.
24:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's progressing well. I know, he's in good spirits
24:14
Speaker 2: and continuing to assess.
24:17
Speaker 8: I think over the.
24:18
Speaker 2: Course of the next week or so, we should have
24:20
Speaker 2: a firm grip on really timetable next steps, etc. But
24:25
Speaker 2: we're still in that window of time where we're assessing
24:28
Speaker 2: and making sure that he's put in the best position
24:30
Speaker 2: to return to who he is as a football player.
24:33
Speaker 8: And that's really good.
24:35
Speaker 4: All right, There you have it, and now let's look
24:37
Speaker 4: ahead to the Texans on defense, especially this is where
24:40
Speaker 4: last game Week three, I mean the physicality in the
24:44
Speaker 4: trenches was really where this game was won. The Jaguars
24:47
Speaker 4: in the first half couldn't run the ball eleven rushing
24:49
Speaker 4: yards and then found a way to run the ball
24:53
Speaker 4: in the second half. Most of the rushing yards there
24:56
Speaker 4: ran for the touchdown there about a minute and a
24:57
Speaker 4: half to go to take the lead and win the game.
25:00
Speaker 4: And Jags defense had takeaway certainly on the other side,
25:03
Speaker 4: but the Jags offensive line against this defensive front. For
25:06
Speaker 4: the Texans, this is where it's one and lost.
25:08
Speaker 6: Tony right, Well, it's always one and loss in the trenches.
25:11
Speaker 6: That's where the game. That's where you got to control
25:13
Speaker 6: line line of scrimmage. It's where you kind of have
25:17
Speaker 6: your physical presence be shown. And it's one of the
25:21
Speaker 6: pillars what we believe, it's one of the pillars which
25:23
Speaker 6: the Texans believe. They were trying to be the more
25:26
Speaker 6: physical football team, the tougher physically and mentally football team
25:30
Speaker 6: on the grass every Sunday, and so that does not change.
25:34
Speaker 6: We're facing a very good opponent who is a great
25:37
Speaker 6: defense front to back. They got a strong front seven,
25:39
Speaker 6: they got two ends that are both Pro Bowl level
25:43
Speaker 6: top ends and both the running and pass. They got
25:45
Speaker 6: a good backers, they got two of the best corners
25:47
Speaker 6: in football. They got an aggressive Nickel and Petrie. I mean,
25:51
Speaker 6: they got from front to back. They are stacked at
25:54
Speaker 6: every level. And so for us, we got to just
25:56
Speaker 6: go out and bs because we're very confident also in
25:58
Speaker 6: our guys, confident offense line, We're confidence in our backs,
26:02
Speaker 6: We're confidence in the game plan that hey, we're gonna
26:04
Speaker 6: go out there, we're gonna be us, We're gonna run
26:07
Speaker 6: the ball, protect and kind of let the chips fall
26:10
Speaker 6: with them and see who the more physical team is.
26:11
Speaker 6: I think the more physical team will win on Sunday.
26:13
Speaker 6: That's kind of the brand of football that both teams
26:16
Speaker 6: want to play, and we'll find out who can execute
26:17
Speaker 6: it better.
26:18
Speaker 7: Kind of wild how the last matchup they you guys
26:21
Speaker 7: come out and then they match up with a five
26:23
Speaker 7: man front, And I think partly one of the reasons
26:28
Speaker 7: why they can do that they feel ultra confident because
26:31
Speaker 7: of the two corners that they have. Because Derek Stingley
26:34
Speaker 7: junior good player, got a big contract extension. But I
26:37
Speaker 7: don't know if Kamari last or ain't better.
26:39
Speaker 8: Kamari is a true football player.
26:41
Speaker 3: He's physical, there's.
26:43
Speaker 8: No doubt about it.
26:43
Speaker 2: And you know so often corners can can just be
26:47
Speaker 2: touted for their coverage capacity. But I mean, he fits
26:50
Speaker 2: the runs as best as anybody at the position. And
26:52
Speaker 2: you feel his presence, his play, energy, his demeanor, it
26:55
Speaker 2: jumps out. Got a lot of respect for how he operates,
26:58
Speaker 2: how he moves, and he's always going to be a
27:01
Speaker 2: tough task for anybody that's lined up across from him.
27:04
Speaker 2: But like Tony said, got a lot of confidence in
27:06
Speaker 2: our group that's walking out onto the field knowing that
27:08
Speaker 2: we can operate at a high tich and it's gonna
27:10
Speaker 2: be a fun ball game to observe because everybody's gonna
27:13
Speaker 2: want to go get.
27:14
Speaker 3: It all right.
27:15
Speaker 7: Tony will Anderson Junior arguably the best edge player in
27:19
Speaker 7: the league as far as like run and pass. Who
27:22
Speaker 7: would you compare him to who a guy that you faced.
27:27
Speaker 6: That's a good one. He's probably the body top and
27:29
Speaker 6: style of like a Michael McCrary. Wants to start with power.
27:35
Speaker 6: Everything's off the ball, speed to power not He's not
27:40
Speaker 6: a huge man. He's two hundred and fifty five, yeah,
27:43
Speaker 6: sixty pounds, so he's not. Well, he's at a big end,
27:45
Speaker 6: but he plays much more powerful than his than his
27:50
Speaker 6: body size.
27:52
Speaker 3: Plays like he's two eighty.
27:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So if you look at
27:54
Speaker 6: I think he's listed on the sheet right what.
27:57
Speaker 7: Six, yeah, six four two three they listed him.
28:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, so he's two fifty, but he plays like two
28:05
Speaker 6: seventy five to eighty, and he can stack ends, he
28:07
Speaker 6: can bowl, rush, he's got off the ball, he's able
28:10
Speaker 6: to get edges, he's a tenacious player, he's a great
28:13
Speaker 6: he's just a really good football player.
28:15
Speaker 7: So he's got to match the guy I was thinking
28:16
Speaker 7: of just because of how he plays.
28:18
Speaker 6: It, and he was actually the same, and he was
28:19
Speaker 6: the same size, two fifty, got some length to him,
28:23
Speaker 6: comes downhill speed, the bulls never going to be out
28:27
Speaker 6: of the play. And you just respect guys like Will
28:30
Speaker 6: Anderson in his style of play because it's he has
28:32
Speaker 6: the talent. But I think probably his superpower is probably
28:36
Speaker 6: his competitive spirit, his toughness more than anything.
28:39
Speaker 3: Daniel Hunter and the other side has been at it
28:41
Speaker 3: for such a long time.
28:42
Speaker 6: Just store of an edge player, Uh, maybe a little
28:46
Speaker 6: bit more refined as the athlete can very slippery, can
28:50
Speaker 6: get Edges and equally you know, different style player, different
28:56
Speaker 6: style rusher, but can play both running pass and is
28:59
Speaker 6: equally dangerous to mess up a game if you let.
29:01
Speaker 7: Him one hundred and three and a half career sacks
29:04
Speaker 7: and his eleventh year, he's amazing. That's like great seven
29:08
Speaker 7: active guys, one hundred plus sacks.
29:10
Speaker 3: He's great player. Hall of Famer, great player, Hall of Fame.
29:13
Speaker 4: Numbers Jaguars, Texans, AFC South Battle NRG Stadium, Houston. The
29:19
Speaker 4: Jags trying to sweep the season series, improve to six
29:23
Speaker 4: and three, and then then it's onto the next week.
29:26
Speaker 3: The Chargers.
29:27
Speaker 5: I'm sure who we played.
29:28
Speaker 3: We'll get to them next ye you're not even worried
29:29
Speaker 3: about it.
29:30
Speaker 5: I love that most important game in the history of
29:31
Speaker 5: the franchise this.
29:32
Speaker 7: Week, JP, I'm like you, guys, I don't even look
29:37
Speaker 7: real Chargers.
29:38
Speaker 3: Is that right? I'll fill you in later.

Speaker 4: Jags HQ on the Jaguars Radio Network presented by the
30:23
Speaker 4: University of Florida number one university and the US News

Speaker 4: and World Reports Number one state for Education. JP Shadrick
30:28
Speaker 4: Jeff Logman are thanks to James Gladstone and Tony BUSSELLI
30:33
Speaker 4: good breakdown of how the trade went down for Jacobe
30:36
Speaker 4: Myers Jaguars Now Jaguars receiver was with the Raiders and
30:40
Speaker 4: kind of came into play once the Jaguars were so
30:43
Speaker 4: banged up at wide receiver coming out of that game
30:46
Speaker 4: in Vegas, and they made the deal on Tuesday.
30:48
Speaker 7: I think the some of the planets got a kind
30:51
Speaker 7: of a line for obviously for trades to happen. I
30:55
Speaker 7: was watching before the game in Vegas that I believe
30:59
Speaker 7: it was bite. The GM for the Raiders was having
31:02
Speaker 7: an extended conversation with Tony and James on the field.
31:05
Speaker 7: But you know, according to them, that conversation didn't even
31:09
Speaker 7: evolve obviously, Jacob Jacob Myers, because at that time they
31:14
Speaker 7: didn't realize they're going to have this glaring.
31:17
Speaker 3: Need for right.
31:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, so so yeah, so I'm glad it happened. I mean,
31:23
Speaker 7: and look forth in six round picks for what could
31:26
Speaker 7: be a one year rental can be pricey. But the
31:29
Speaker 7: Jaguars had I think thirteen picks prior to that trade,
31:32
Speaker 7: now still have eleven, so you have That's one of
31:36
Speaker 7: the reasons why you like to have.
31:38
Speaker 3: The picks is you can do things like that.
31:40
Speaker 4: And you know what, he worked at a place that
31:42
Speaker 4: said bleep those picks and then later had some picks,
31:45
Speaker 4: so he's had it both ways.
31:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:47
Speaker 7: Well, the draft is the lifeblood of every franchise, and
31:50
Speaker 7: the Rams have been really good at getting value for
31:54
Speaker 7: those picks, and so you don't want to f them
31:56
Speaker 7: pick too much, you know what I mean, you gotta
32:00
Speaker 7: have them for SIU. Sure, they got two third round
32:04
Speaker 7: pick outstanding pass rushers, right, A couple of years ago,
32:09
Speaker 7: and so I'm sitting there thinking, Okay, we've got some
32:11
Speaker 7: third rounders. Don't trade any of them, don't trade the seconds.
32:16
Speaker 3: Keep them. Yeah, they'll need those.
32:18
Speaker 4: Moving ahead, we're gonna come back in a moment, we'll
32:20
Speaker 4: dig deeper into the Texans with Mark Vandermere, the voice
32:23
Speaker 4: of the Texans, joining us to discuss the top defense
32:26
Speaker 4: in the league and what does it look like without
32:28

Speaker 3: Welcome back, it is jags h QJP. Shatwick with you.
32:47
Speaker 4: Jeff Logman returns in a few moments. Mark Vandermere, the
32:51
Speaker 4: voice of the Houston Texans. They have the top defense
32:54
Speaker 4: in the league with the offenses without quarterback c J.
32:57
Speaker 4: Stroud this week in concussion protocol. So I asked him
33:00
Speaker 4: earlier today, what's the Davis Mills experience going to look like?
33:04
Speaker 9: Well, this is a Class of twenty one reunion.
33:06
Speaker 5: JP.
33:07
Speaker 9: You know you got Trevor Lawrence and Davis Mills going
33:09
Speaker 9: at it now. Mills was a third round pick, of course,
33:12
Speaker 9: not the fanfare of Trevor Lawrence. But Mills is four
33:16
Speaker 9: to five and one versus the AFC South in his career,
33:19
Speaker 9: so there's something. I mean, it's not a great record,
33:22
Speaker 9: it's not a winning record, but it's a record. And
33:25
Speaker 9: Mills has twenty five starts in his career. This will
33:27
Speaker 9: be starting number twenty six, so he's played a lot
33:30
Speaker 9: of football. When he came into the game last Sunday,
33:33
Speaker 9: it had been a while.
33:33
Speaker 1: You know.
33:34
Speaker 9: He played well in the finale against Tennessee last year.
33:37
Speaker 9: Didn't play the first drive of the game. They just
33:39
Speaker 9: want to get CJ going in that game, and then
33:41
Speaker 9: Mills played well the rest of the way pretty well,
33:44
Speaker 9: And I think that Mills has got a lot going
33:46
Speaker 9: for him when he's got the full cup of soup,
33:49
Speaker 9: you know, a full week of practice prep all of it.
33:51
Speaker 9: He talked about, Yeah, he's mentally ready every week, but
33:54
Speaker 9: the speed of the game is just something that he's
33:56
Speaker 9: got to get used to. So he wasn't able to
33:58
Speaker 9: be at his best against Therocos, So maybe it's a
34:01
Speaker 9: lot better against the Jaguars. But he's not the only
34:04
Speaker 9: guy who's baged up, so we'll see how it goes.
34:06
Speaker 3: Can they run the football to help him. How's the
34:08
Speaker 3: offensive line play been and all that.
34:11
Speaker 9: Yeah, and Chubb started the week hurt, so you don't
34:13
Speaker 9: know about him. Woody Mars has been really good for them,
34:15
Speaker 9: and I like Woody Marks getting more touches. Actually after
34:19
Speaker 9: that there's a drop off. But Damian Pierce, you know,
34:21
Speaker 9: we've seen some good things. The best run of his
34:23
Speaker 9: career is against the Jags, as you know, in twenty
34:26
Speaker 9: twenty two. So it wasn't a long run, but it
34:29
Speaker 9: was an angry run. It one angry run of the
34:31
Speaker 9: year on NFL Network. So you never know how this
34:33
Speaker 9: is going to go. With the running game. I think
34:35
Speaker 9: that they'll be committed to try it. It's tough against
34:39
Speaker 9: the Jaguars, but they have to try it because if
34:43
Speaker 9: it's just Mills throwing all the time. And I thought
34:45
Speaker 9: they might have thrown it a little too much down
34:46
Speaker 9: the stretch against Denver because it was just a slim
34:49
Speaker 9: margin you were dealing with. They were never down more
34:52
Speaker 9: than three points in that one in the second half.
34:55
Speaker 9: So I think that they'll attempt to run the ball
34:58
Speaker 9: well JP and you know, maybe Damien's got something left,
35:01
Speaker 9: but what he has a whole lot to offer they
35:04
Speaker 9: just have to find a way to pave some holes
35:06
Speaker 9: for him, to make some holes for him with the
35:08
Speaker 9: guys up front, and they've got injuries there too, so
35:11
Speaker 9: we'll see how it goes.
35:12
Speaker 4: Mark Vandermer, voice of the Houston Texans with us and
35:15
Speaker 4: a big reason why it could be a low scoring
35:18
Speaker 4: affair as it.
35:19
Speaker 3: Was last time.
35:20
Speaker 4: Is this Texans defense ranked number one in the National
35:22
Speaker 4: Football League.
35:23
Speaker 3: How different are they from Week three?
35:25
Speaker 9: They've really found their stride and they played good defense
35:29
Speaker 9: against the Jags. I really feel that way. I know
35:31
Speaker 9: the final drive it wasn't there. But this Texans offense
35:35
Speaker 9: has been really challenged and the defense is on the
35:38
Speaker 9: field a lot. The Texans offense against the Jags the
35:41
Speaker 9: first meeting, you know, it was turnover city in the
35:43
Speaker 9: fourth quarter.
35:44
Speaker 8: I mean, my gosh.
35:45
Speaker 9: You know, if you just hang out to the ball
35:46
Speaker 9: and kick a field goal or two, you might win
35:48
Speaker 9: that game as opposed to just coughing it up and
35:50
Speaker 9: donating it back to the Jaguars.
35:52
Speaker 5: And they know that.
35:53
Speaker 9: But this defense last week against Denver got off the
35:56
Speaker 9: field again and again and again and again, and with
35:58
Speaker 9: the Davis Mills led off defense, they look pretty good.
36:01
Speaker 9: When CJ first went out in the first half, Mills
36:04
Speaker 9: was moving the team a little bit, but it was
36:06
Speaker 9: field goals, not touchdowns. And then in the second half
36:09
Speaker 9: you had zero for seven and third down a lot
36:11
Speaker 9: of three and outs. It just didn't work, and it
36:14
Speaker 9: just felt like a monumental task to get first downs.
36:17
Speaker 9: So I believe that this is definitely one of the
36:21
Speaker 9: best defenses in the league. You're right number one points
36:23
Speaker 9: in yards and this is the deepest end of the
36:26
Speaker 9: season of Texans offense has ever been this good at scoring,
36:30
Speaker 9: defense at holding the opponent down, And I believe they'll
36:33
Speaker 9: be able to do that against virtually anybody, including the
36:36
Speaker 9: Chiefs when they get there in December. But the question
36:38
Speaker 9: is can you match them on the offensive side of
36:41
Speaker 9: the football, And this week with no CJ. Stroud and
36:44
Speaker 9: possibly no Chubb and Titus Howard and the concussion protocol,
36:48
Speaker 9: you got a lot of challenges there. But they'll have
36:50
Speaker 9: to do their best and try to get it going
36:53
Speaker 9: because if they don't get this one JP, it's three
36:55
Speaker 9: and six and it's going to be really tough.
36:58
Speaker 4: That is Mark vandermir conversation coming up this weekend on
37:01
Speaker 4: the Jags Podcast Network and cooundown a kickoff Sunday ahead
37:05
Speaker 4: of Jaguars Texans.
37:07

37:36
Speaker 9: J P.
37:37
Speaker 3: Shadrick, Jeff Logoban as.
37:39
Speaker 4: Jags HQ rolls along or thanks to Tony Vesseli and
37:41
Speaker 4: James Gladstone. Yeah, it's a backup quarterback, but they still
37:45
Speaker 4: have some familiar names in the skill positions, including Nicocollins
37:49
Speaker 4: at wide receiver. Thirty three catches, four hundred and fourteen
37:52
Speaker 4: yards for the season and three touchdown receptions for Collins, Yeah.
37:56
Speaker 3: He's kind of off.
37:57
Speaker 7: I mean, if you look at pull his career number up,
38:00
Speaker 7: I mean, he's off definitely pace for what he's been
38:03
Speaker 7: able to do career numbers wise, But you know, My
38:06
Speaker 7: biggest concern is that this is a guy that is
38:10
Speaker 7: an elite wide receiver that if I'm Davis Mills, you know,
38:14
Speaker 7: in perfect world, the Texas led to run the ball
38:16
Speaker 7: to keep the Jaguars off balancing and out and then
38:19
Speaker 7: start chucking the ball twelve because he's that good. And
38:23
Speaker 7: let's go back to the first matchup. You remember the
38:24
Speaker 7: double move on Tyson Campbell. Yeah, uh oh oh oh,
38:30
Speaker 7: and then at the end of the game, you know
38:32
Speaker 7: he had the he'd lost to fumble. I'm sure that
38:36
Speaker 7: he would like to make some amends for some of
38:38
Speaker 7: those plays, but he's a dangerous weapon.
38:39
Speaker 4: Back to back thousand yard seasons for him, and not
38:42
Speaker 4: even with full games slated played. I mean, he played
38:45
Speaker 4: fifteen games in twenty twenty three twelve hundred almost thirteen
38:48
Speaker 4: hundred yards, and only twelve games last year just over
38:50
Speaker 4: one thousand yards and eight touchdowns and seven touchdowns respectively.
38:54
Speaker 7: What's his career yards per catch? Fourteen and a half, Okay,
38:58
Speaker 7: and he's like twelve and a half now, so he's
38:59
Speaker 7: kind of off of that pace. But he's the guy
39:03
Speaker 7: that can take the top off of a defense. He
39:05
Speaker 7: can make the contested catches he's a big body, he
39:09
Speaker 7: runs well.
39:10
Speaker 3: You know, he's the guy. I mean, and obviously the
39:12
Speaker 3: tight end.
39:12
Speaker 7: Schultz and Christian Kirk are kind of I don't know,
39:15
Speaker 7: they're complimentary players, but Nico Collins is the guy.
39:18
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
39:19
Speaker 4: Christian Kirk was open on that last drive in Week
39:22
Speaker 4: three and.
39:23
Speaker 3: The quarterback just missed him. That would have been a
39:25
Speaker 3: touchdown probably yeah, it probably was.
39:27
Speaker 7: But you know the Christian Kirk, I mean, that was
39:29
Speaker 7: his first game play this year, was the first matchup
39:32
Speaker 7: against the Jaguars, and then since then he's been in
39:35
Speaker 7: and out of the lineup. He missed the Seattle game,
39:38
Speaker 7: he missed the San Francisco game, all with that hamstring.
39:41
Speaker 7: And look, even Nico Collins missed the game before the
39:44
Speaker 7: last with a concussion. So you hope that the chemistry
39:49
Speaker 7: is not quite there with a backup quarterback in his.
39:53
Speaker 3: Receiving core a lot of moving parts. But what do
39:55
Speaker 3: you do?
39:56
Speaker 4: And when you have those question marks a lot? Try
39:58
Speaker 4: to lead on the run game maybe what I might do.
40:01
Speaker 7: Look, they got a veteran guy and Nick Chubb, but
40:03
Speaker 7: you know the one that you know all the Jaguars
40:05
Speaker 7: are talking about is Misceli mentioned him what he marks
40:08
Speaker 7: from mess rookie, you know, seems to be the guy
40:11
Speaker 7: that's got a little bit more of that juice to him.
40:15
Speaker 7: But you know, the Jaguars have been pretty good against
40:18
Speaker 7: the run and that needs to continue in this game
40:20
Speaker 7: this week.
40:21
Speaker 4: Let's come back and we'll get some final thoughts ahead
40:23
Speaker 4: of this Jaguars Texans matchup in Week ten. This is
40:27
Speaker 4: Jags HQ on Jaguars Radio.
40:34
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
40:39
Speaker 1: right now.
40:40
Speaker 4: JP, Shadwick, Jeff Logman. It is Jags HQ on the
40:43
Speaker 4: Jaguars Radio Network. In is Week ten, a Jaguars visit
40:46
Speaker 4: the Houston Texans, looking for a season series sweep of
40:50
Speaker 4: the Texans for the first time since twenty seventeen. The
40:54
Speaker 4: Texans had to head since then from twenty eighteen to
40:57
Speaker 4: forward twelve and three against the Jaguars. It's all past,
41:01
Speaker 4: so a lot going on with both these teams right now.
41:03
Speaker 4: Both teams banged up. Check the injury reports in the
41:05
Speaker 4: game Status tomorrow for a handful of key players to
41:08
Speaker 4: the Jaguars who have not been on.
41:10
Speaker 3: The practice field yet this week.
41:12
Speaker 4: Logs including Brian Thomas Junior, who has not been out there.
41:15
Speaker 4: Ezra Cleveland, the left guard, hasn't practiced yet this week.
41:19
Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis, the corner.
41:21
Speaker 4: Hunter, long the tight end, and none of those guys
41:24
Speaker 4: have practiced at all this week yet.
41:25
Speaker 7: And I don't think correct me if I'm wrong. Have
41:28
Speaker 7: we seen a Jaguar this year missed practice on Wednesday
41:34
Speaker 7: and Thursday and play in a game?
41:36
Speaker 3: I can't remember it, you know, I don't think. I
41:38
Speaker 3: don't think there's been one. It's usually not the cadence.
41:40
Speaker 3: It's like out limited.
41:42
Speaker 7: You got limited, you know, or out and then limited
41:46
Speaker 7: limited kind of a thing. So that's not trending for
41:50
Speaker 7: those players that haven't practiced yet, not trending in the
41:52
Speaker 7: right direction. So much like the last game, you're gonna
41:56
Speaker 7: need players to step up and play well and take
42:01
Speaker 7: advantage of that opportunity that's gonna be presented.
42:04
Speaker 3: To them, and then the positive part of it.
42:06
Speaker 4: Devin Lloyd has practiced both days full, as has wide
42:09
Speaker 4: receiver Tim Patrick, though their participation will be big certainly
42:14
Speaker 4: for this Jaguars team on both sides of the football.
42:17
Speaker 3: And now to this Jaguars offense against the.
42:19
Speaker 4: Houston defense, the number one group in the NFL on
42:22
Speaker 4: the defensive side.
42:23
Speaker 3: They seen him once. You know it's gonna be a physical.
42:25
Speaker 4: Matchup, certainly in the trenches, and you will see what
42:27
Speaker 4: happens at guard, right who steps in there at guard
42:29
Speaker 4: if Vezra Cleveland's not there.
42:31
Speaker 7: Well, I mean from going back to the last game,
42:34
Speaker 7: Cole Van Lannon was the first guy in. You know,
42:37
Speaker 7: he ended up finishing out the game for the Jaguars
42:40
Speaker 7: and did a very good job. And I give him
42:43
Speaker 7: a lot of credit Cole Van Lannon, just because he
42:46
Speaker 7: was acquired in a trade under the previous regime. And
42:51
Speaker 7: then they try to at guard, it didn't really work.
42:54
Speaker 7: They moved them to tackle. He was the highest rated
42:56
Speaker 7: tackle by PFF in the preseason a couple of years ago,
43:00
Speaker 7: and he's continued to get better to the point where
43:04
Speaker 7: he's one of the most versatile players. And I think
43:06
Speaker 7: he's kind of a backup for tackles and then guards,
43:10
Speaker 7: I mean everywhere except for center. Yeah, and I actually
43:13
Speaker 7: talked to him a couple of games ago when Monheim
43:16
Speaker 7: was having a start and Hainsy was out and he
43:18
Speaker 7: was the backup center. Yeah, you know, I'll take a
43:20
Speaker 7: few stats I said, can you snap? He goes or
43:24
Speaker 7: have you ever snapped? He said no, I've never snapped.
43:27
Speaker 7: But I said, well, do you think you could go?
43:29
Speaker 3: I got it. I got it.
43:30
Speaker 7: So I'm like, wow, okay as a football player, darn
43:33
Speaker 7: good football player.
43:34
Speaker 3: So you know he's got a great opportunity himself.
43:37
Speaker 4: All Right, we'll see what happens with the injury report
43:39
Speaker 4: and the status tomorrow Jaguars.
43:41
Speaker 3: Texans one o'clock Sunday on.
43:43
Speaker 4: The network will be on the air with the countdown
43:45
Speaker 4: to kickoff at noon on the Jaguars Radio Network.
