Speaker 1: break some of that down last week and see what
0:59
Speaker 1: the match up looks like this week against Gus Bradley's
1:03
Speaker 1: Chargers defense. The Jags defense facing Justin Herbert's one of
1:07
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks in last year's draft. He is the
1:11
Speaker 1: future is now for the Chargers. Uniform unveiling Jimmy Luck

Speaker 1: we always do. In the final segment to take us home,
1:20
Speaker 1: We'll pick our Jaguars to have a big game this
1:22
Speaker 1: week against the l A Chargers. Bucky Brooks, John Os,
1:26
Speaker 1: you're joining us now, Bucky. How are things out of
1:28
Speaker 1: the West Coast this week? Man? Things are good. The
1:31
Speaker 1: sun is up in the Jaguars are coming and so maybe,
1:35
Speaker 1: just maybe there is a win on the horizon. Yeah, hey, John,
1:41
Speaker 1: how things across town today? Well? Things are great, JP.
1:47
Speaker 1: I mean, it's uh, I'm here, You're here, Bucky's here.
1:51
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what more you could want. Well, yeah,
1:56
Speaker 1: you get what you ask for, and this is what
1:58
Speaker 1: we have. It's Jaguars Happy Hour presented. That's right. Let's
2:05
Speaker 1: get to the Jaguars offense. You know, last week behind again,
2:09
Speaker 1: they ran the ball a little early, but they didn't
2:11
Speaker 1: have time to stick with it once again, of course,
2:14
Speaker 1: and you saw what happened in that game against the
2:17
Speaker 1: Lions last week. There were some third and long situations.
2:21
Speaker 1: There were some of the passes downfield for Gardner Minshew,
2:24
Speaker 1: which you know we had kind of talked about before,
2:26
Speaker 1: but they just didn't connect, Bucky, And you know that
2:30
Speaker 1: that seems to be the last few weeks now, the
2:32
Speaker 1: quarterback play has not been enough to overcome the deficiencies elsewhere. No,
2:38
Speaker 1: no, no no, no. The quarterback play hasn't been enough, and
2:40
Speaker 1: it's it's not really all of Gardner Minshew's fault. He
2:43
Speaker 1: certainly hasn't played well enough, but it's hard when he's
2:46
Speaker 1: always forced into a mode where he's chasing points because
2:49
Speaker 1: they have consistently the Jaguars are consistently been behind. It
2:52
Speaker 1: just makes it very very hard to throw against the
2:54
Speaker 1: defense that knows that you have to throw. He hasn't
2:57
Speaker 1: had the look for your being able to really have
2:59
Speaker 1: these valent situations where you can use a mix of
3:03
Speaker 1: the run in the past and play accent very effective
3:05
Speaker 1: and so this has been an issue. But hopefully they
3:08
Speaker 1: can get the game on their terms and we can
3:10
Speaker 1: see him play the way that we have seen him
3:13
Speaker 1: play early in the year. John, We've heard that the
3:18
Speaker 1: last three or four or five weeks though, they gotta
3:20
Speaker 1: get it on their terms, but they haven't been able
3:22
Speaker 1: to do that yet. On offense, yeah, and I think
3:28
Speaker 1: I get what Bucky's saying, But in the last few weeks,
3:32
Speaker 1: and in fairness to tri analyze this, there have been
3:36
Speaker 1: opportunities for the offense when the field hasn't been tilted
3:40
Speaker 1: against them. The concerning thing to me, and again I
3:43
Speaker 1: don't want to just pound pound pound. The four ripped
3:49
Speaker 1: into the red zone, maybe five in the last two weeks,
3:52
Speaker 1: but say four without points, and they all came with
3:57
Speaker 1: the game very much in doubt. With the game. The
4:02
Speaker 1: field wasn't necessarious slanted against the quarterback, and that to
4:05
Speaker 1: me is the major concern that in this day and age,
4:09
Speaker 1: you have to have a quarterback who can convert those situations,
4:14
Speaker 1: who can make plays at those key times. I think
4:16
Speaker 1: Bucky would agree that in in those points Gardner mens,
4:20
Speaker 1: you just must be better. Yeah, I mean I think
4:25
Speaker 1: I think Gardner has to be better. And one of
4:28
Speaker 1: the things when you look at him, and this is
4:30
Speaker 1: the thing that separates two different tiers of quarterbacks, the
4:33
Speaker 1: mid levels from the good, the good from the great,
4:35
Speaker 1: is their ability to make you right. And when you
4:38
Speaker 1: have a talented quarterback and a plus quarterback, he is
4:41
Speaker 1: able to make the offense right. He's able to overcome
4:43
Speaker 1: bad play calls, he's over to up become some personnel
4:47
Speaker 1: issues where you may not have a solid offensive line
4:49
Speaker 1: or whatever. But because he's so good, he makes it right.
4:52
Speaker 1: And what we see when we look around the league,
4:55
Speaker 1: and we look at these young players like the one
4:57
Speaker 1: that we will see this weekend, Justin Herbert and some
4:59
Speaker 1: of the the young guys that are flourishing. Cala Murray
5:02
Speaker 1: shined on Monday Night. Their level of talent enables you
5:06
Speaker 1: to live with some of the deficiencies that can hamstrong
5:10
Speaker 1: a team like ours the Jaguars, where they're still able
5:14
Speaker 1: to thrive because the QB one is so dominant. So good. Yeah,
5:20
Speaker 1: we heard from d J. Chark after the game last week,
5:23
Speaker 1: and you could kind of send some frustration out of him.
5:26
Speaker 1: He felt like, they're, well, I don't know if there's
5:29
Speaker 1: a receiver Bucky in football that doesn't think they're open
5:31
Speaker 1: all the time. We get that, but um, they just
5:34
Speaker 1: couldn't They couldn't connect, you know. He felt like there
5:37
Speaker 1: were some openings there. Um that he probably could have
5:40
Speaker 1: played a little bit better in the offense as a whole,
5:43
Speaker 1: could have played better. Keelan Cole had a decent statistical day. Um,
5:48
Speaker 1: But that frustration is starting to seep out a little
5:51
Speaker 1: bit now, just in some of those sound bites bucking. Yeah,
5:55
Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely is beginning to seep out, not
5:58
Speaker 1: only in the sound bites, but we're seeing their body
6:00
Speaker 1: language on the field. The wide receivers are frustrated because
6:04
Speaker 1: they feel like they do their job, they create separation,
6:06
Speaker 1: they're open and the ball doesn't get there, or they
6:09
Speaker 1: have now had big play opportunities that they're not cashing
6:13
Speaker 1: in on it. And JP, we've talked about it the
6:15
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks. You give them a lottery ticket, they cash
6:18
Speaker 1: it in, they go to the window to get the money.
6:20
Speaker 1: And we're not seeing enough of those lottery tickets cashed
6:23
Speaker 1: in and it makes it very, very difficult for an
6:26
Speaker 1: offense that has struggled scoring yet times when you do
6:29
Speaker 1: get these plays that are drawn up for home runs
6:32
Speaker 1: or big playballs and you're not able to finish them,
6:35
Speaker 1: it really deflates the energy of the team. And some
6:38
Speaker 1: of that is on Mens show, some of that is
6:40
Speaker 1: on protection, some of that is on the playmaker. But
6:42
Speaker 1: you would like to see them cashing in on some
6:44
Speaker 1: of these big, these big plays. And we know John
6:48
Speaker 1: that DJ is kind of fighting through it here. He's
6:50
Speaker 1: been on the injury report off and on this year,
6:52
Speaker 1: and and he's that type of guy. He's gonna go
6:54
Speaker 1: out there and as he said, he's gonna put his
6:56
Speaker 1: body on the line and go play every week no
6:58
Speaker 1: matter what. That's why it means so much. Yeah, it does.
7:03
Speaker 1: And DJ, you know, look when you're talking to these
7:07
Speaker 1: guys right after a game. Uh. In his day and age,
7:11
Speaker 1: it was what maybe fifteen minutes after game. The other
7:13
Speaker 1: day he was asked about the receiving corps and basically
7:17
Speaker 1: said a couple of times, look, we were open. Could
7:21
Speaker 1: he have maybe phrased it a touch different maybe, but
7:24
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he was banging the podium. He wasn't angry.
7:27
Speaker 1: He was just sort of stayed in fact. And he
7:28
Speaker 1: was asked he was frustrated about winning, and he said, yeah,
7:32
Speaker 1: he's never really one here, so it's a natural thing.
7:35
Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's going to cause division. But
7:38
Speaker 1: the obvious thing here is Gardner has to throw two
7:43
Speaker 1: tighter windows two receivers. There's different terms for you, but
7:48
Speaker 1: there's college open and there's NFL open. Theaguars receivers are
7:52
Speaker 1: getting NFL open. Gardner has to be able to a
7:56
Speaker 1: think he can make those throws and make those throws,
8:00
Speaker 1: and until it happens, we be having the same discussion
8:02
Speaker 1: every week. Yeah, John, it's tough because at some point
8:08
Speaker 1: you see Garnier mens. You playing enough games, he is
8:11
Speaker 1: what he is. And um, once you established that he's
8:14
Speaker 1: not necessarily that high end quarterback, and then it's about, okay, well,
8:18
Speaker 1: what can we do to elevate his play? Is that
8:21
Speaker 1: putting in a running game that's dominant. Is it part
8:24
Speaker 1: of the scheme like we've seen Kevin Stefanski do with
8:27
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, because I think I've talked about that before.
8:30
Speaker 1: To me, he's very Baker Mayfield ish in terms of
8:34
Speaker 1: you have to have the pieces around him that are right,
8:36
Speaker 1: so big beef, the offensive line, dominant run game, perimeter playmakers,
8:40
Speaker 1: and then he can play at a level that is
8:43
Speaker 1: just above average two good in that category. And so
8:47
Speaker 1: if he's not that kind of player and we don't
8:49
Speaker 1: have the supporting cast, then we have to begin to
8:52
Speaker 1: talk about, Okay, where can we find that quarterback? Is
8:55
Speaker 1: that in the draft? Is that someone else? All? And
9:00
Speaker 1: of course, this week the Jaguar is facing the Gus
9:02
Speaker 1: Bradley defense of the Los Angeles Chargers, and we all
9:06
Speaker 1: know what this looks like. It's rushed for and everybody
9:11
Speaker 1: else will cover somebody John. That's what this is going
9:13
Speaker 1: to be That's what it always has been with Gus Bradley. Well,
9:17
Speaker 1: it is, and the concern is the Chargers defended Minshew
9:23
Speaker 1: very well last year. Gus knows what he's doing, he
9:27
Speaker 1: knows how he's going to defend him. He's gonna make
9:29
Speaker 1: Gardner stay in the pocket. He's going to make him
9:31
Speaker 1: throw into this in the two deed zone and until
9:34
Speaker 1: he proves he can do it again, I think we
9:37
Speaker 1: haven't touched on that. We've touched on all weeks on
9:38
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com. Until that happens, you're gonna see teams
9:44
Speaker 1: able to able to bunch the line of scrimmage the
9:46
Speaker 1: way the Lions did. I don't know how much forty
9:48
Speaker 1: six Bear Gusts is going to play, but he's going
9:51
Speaker 1: to stop James Robinson and assume that Gardner Minshew can't
9:56
Speaker 1: beat uh three or four defend there's in the back
10:00
Speaker 1: and until he proves you differently. That's what's been causing
10:03
Speaker 1: the problems in the running game in recent weeks. Again,
10:07
Speaker 1: it's all interrelated in football, and it's all interrelated to that.
10:10
Speaker 1: All the problems. Once teams figure you out, you've got
10:14
Speaker 1: to do well against them what they think you can't
10:17
Speaker 1: do well and to me, until that gets solved, you're
10:20
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of these offensive days like we
10:22
Speaker 1: saw on Sunday. Yeah, John, you bring up a good
10:26
Speaker 1: point in terms of Gus Bradley's philosophy, because the philosophy
10:29
Speaker 1: that ty Wash is obviously adopted and continue to utilize.
10:33
Speaker 1: The difference is the talent and the talent upfront. When
10:36
Speaker 1: the Charges are healthy and ready to go. They have
10:38
Speaker 1: two legitimate pass rushers in Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa.
10:41
Speaker 1: They're able to get inside pass rush from one of
10:44
Speaker 1: the guy's Jerry Tillery inside. Their linebackers are fast, they
10:48
Speaker 1: can cover from sideline to sideline. We've seeing Kenneth Murray
10:51
Speaker 1: make plays, does Impyramid make plays? And then when Derwin
10:54
Speaker 1: James is right like they have everything, but it's about
10:58
Speaker 1: the talent. To play a simplistic out that the Charges
11:01
Speaker 1: want to play, you have to have superior talent and
11:03
Speaker 1: this is a very very talented team on the defenside
11:05
Speaker 1: of the ball. Yeah, Joey Bosas is probably the top
11:10
Speaker 1: name in m Melbolingram. It sounds like it could be
11:12
Speaker 1: back this week right by Yeah, and that could be
11:15
Speaker 1: a problem because now you have two pass rushers, and
11:17
Speaker 1: you talk about Gus Bradley knowing how to defend Garniment,
11:19
Speaker 1: you based on the success that they had against him,
11:22
Speaker 1: he is going to make him throw against the soft
11:25
Speaker 1: zone while also being able to generate pressure with just
11:28
Speaker 1: four And so this is a game where if you're
11:31
Speaker 1: Jay Grewden, you really have to talk to god Manshure
11:33
Speaker 1: and you have to tell them the best way to
11:34
Speaker 1: beat this zone is it really work underneath it. Take
11:37
Speaker 1: the check down, get the ball out to the hands
11:40
Speaker 1: of the playmakers underneath, and then us on the wide receivers.
11:42
Speaker 1: Make people make the first guy miss and see if
11:45
Speaker 1: you can turn a five year pass into a tenure game.
11:48
Speaker 1: That's how you defeat this zone because then you have
11:50
Speaker 1: to lure those guys up before you can take the
11:53
Speaker 1: intermediate in the deep shots. But it really requires the
11:56
Speaker 1: level of patients that a lot of quarterbacks, young or old,
12:01
Speaker 1: simply do not exhibit. And it's one of the reasons
12:04
Speaker 1: why the defense in the scheme has worked for so long,
12:06
Speaker 1: particularly for talented teams. All right, fellas, let's come back
12:11
Speaker 1: in a moment. We'll flip it around. Jaguars defense this
12:14
Speaker 1: week trying to get off the mat after a tough
12:16
Speaker 1: outing against the Lions a week ago against the run,
12:19
Speaker 1: and they'll face Justin Herberts this week, one of the
12:22
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in this year's NFL draft. It's time to

Speaker 1: seventy nine. Welcome back the Jags and the Chargers coming
15:07
Speaker 1: up this Sunday at so Far Stadium in Los Angeles, California,
15:13
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars defense looking to get back on track
15:16
Speaker 1: after last week's performance. It's been a struggle the last
15:20
Speaker 1: few weeks, certainly giving up thirty points a game, and
15:23
Speaker 1: last week they couldn't stop the run. That's that's where
15:26
Speaker 1: it really gets to be a struggle when teams are
15:29
Speaker 1: running on you. And that's what happened last week for
15:32
Speaker 1: the Lions. Swift had a big game, a P had
15:35
Speaker 1: a touchdown, UM Josh Allen was out, Abrey Jones was out,
15:40
Speaker 1: Miles Jack left the game. He was walking around on
15:43
Speaker 1: a cart later. Um the Lions ran right through him
15:46
Speaker 1: last week, John, And that's that's demoralizing when you're a defense,
15:50
Speaker 1: when when things like that are happening, and especially in
15:53
Speaker 1: a string like this, well, it's demoralizing because early on
16:00
Speaker 1: and I can sort of tie it in with Miles
16:02
Speaker 1: Jack for the most part, before Miles got hurt against Cincinnati,
16:05
Speaker 1: this was a defense that wasn't great against the run,
16:09
Speaker 1: but it had improved from last season, and it was
16:13
Speaker 1: treading water. It was staying afloat since Miles got hurt
16:17
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and then against Detroit when I think you're gonna
16:20
Speaker 1: make an argument he was not playing. They've struggled and
16:24
Speaker 1: that's scary because they don't rush the passer very well.
16:27
Speaker 1: So if you don't do either of those things, then
16:30
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're open to everything. The defensive
16:33
Speaker 1: interior they knew going into the season they needed to
16:36
Speaker 1: address it. They tried to address it with Woods and Gunter.
16:39
Speaker 1: Those guys aren't on the team any or there aren't playing,
16:43
Speaker 1: so it's showing up. And as the season goes on,
16:47
Speaker 1: what you worry about. There's a cumulative effect in the
16:50
Speaker 1: defensive interior where you wear down. You hope you're not
16:53
Speaker 1: seeing that. You hope maybe Abriy getting back this week
16:56
Speaker 1: will help, because if this team can't do something on
16:59
Speaker 1: the area, it leaves everything else exposed. You know, John,
17:04
Speaker 1: you have to be able to hang your head on
17:05
Speaker 1: something on defense, and most defensive coordinators want to come
17:08
Speaker 1: in and take the runaway. Fortune to a one dimensional
17:11
Speaker 1: game plan that is centered around the passing game makes
17:13
Speaker 1: it easier to get up to the quarterback when you
17:15
Speaker 1: know that the run is not an option. Uh, you
17:17
Speaker 1: can mix in some pressures and some coverage to make
17:20
Speaker 1: sure you keep everyone locked up. The problem with the
17:23
Speaker 1: Jaguars you haven't been good at at any one thing.
17:26
Speaker 1: You haven't been good enough stopping the run when people
17:28
Speaker 1: have been committed to running the ball, and you've given
17:30
Speaker 1: up too many plays in the passing game. I will
17:34
Speaker 1: say this, they haven't necessarily let the ball fly over
17:36
Speaker 1: the head. They kept everything in front, but their inability
17:39
Speaker 1: in the passing game to win on these money downs
17:43
Speaker 1: third down in the red zone too many, I would say,
17:46
Speaker 1: just self inflicted errors um defensive passing interference penalties. Josh
17:52
Speaker 1: Jones had a couple. We've seen guys just kind of
17:55
Speaker 1: panic when the balls in the air at the moment
17:57
Speaker 1: of truth. We just haven't been able to impose our
18:01
Speaker 1: will in anyone area and the two you're able to
18:04
Speaker 1: do that. It is just hard to play consistent defense
18:08
Speaker 1: at a high level in this league. Yeah, JP, Yes, Well,
18:17
Speaker 1: I don't know what else I would do if I
18:20
Speaker 1: was cod Wash meaning Buck. He just talked about making
18:23
Speaker 1: sure everything's else else is in front of them. When
18:25
Speaker 1: you have a defense that's deficient, it's some areas you
18:29
Speaker 1: hope you're not giving up big play. So your strategy
18:32
Speaker 1: becomes and I think rightfully, so keep everything in front
18:35
Speaker 1: of you, hope that the other team makes a mistake,
18:37
Speaker 1: you can get some sort of pressure, not give up
18:41
Speaker 1: big place, and hope that you can break serve A
18:43
Speaker 1: couple of times they have the last couple of weeks,
18:46
Speaker 1: they've given themselves some opportunities to show it. Interception, two
18:49
Speaker 1: interceptions against the Texans. They've done that. They've kept themselves
18:54
Speaker 1: relatively in the game. The flip side of that is
18:59
Speaker 1: the offense hasn't taken advantage of their service breaks when
19:02
Speaker 1: they've gotten them, you know. But to me, I'm not
19:05
Speaker 1: sure what else I would tell them to do defensively
19:08
Speaker 1: if you blitz here in a lot of trouble with
19:09
Speaker 1: this much, you know, John Is it's interesting to made
19:13
Speaker 1: that point. And so to play the way that you
19:17
Speaker 1: have to play with the defense kind of playing that
19:19
Speaker 1: bambadone break style. Everyone has to be in the same mindset.
19:23
Speaker 1: This is complimentary football is football where you need the
19:26
Speaker 1: running game to really drain the clock, to shorten the
19:29
Speaker 1: number of possessions in the game, the defense to make
19:31
Speaker 1: a handful of stops, and when they do get a
19:33
Speaker 1: timely turnover, the offense has to cash in and get seven.
19:37
Speaker 1: Too often we're seeing miss field goes blown fourth down
19:41
Speaker 1: calls in the red zone and that has really prevented
19:44
Speaker 1: the Jaguars from getting wins and some of these games
19:46
Speaker 1: which have been competitive where they should have had opportunities
19:49
Speaker 1: to walk away with the win. Last week, Jabal Shared
19:54
Speaker 1: was brought up from the practice squad a late week elevation,
19:57
Speaker 1: and he's got some experience in this league and he
20:01
Speaker 1: was one of the better defenders on the field for
20:03
Speaker 1: the Jags in last week's a game. But he is
20:07
Speaker 1: now on the New York Giants active roster. Josh Allen
20:11
Speaker 1: is back this week, which is good news. Of course,
20:13
Speaker 1: Caleb and Chason is a first round pick. He's gonna
20:16
Speaker 1: get reps, and Doug Maron said today that they couldn't
20:19
Speaker 1: promise him many more reps than they already gave him.
20:22
Speaker 1: So it was time for Shared to move on. And
20:25
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate because it looked like, at least for a
20:28
Speaker 1: moment in a in one game a span for this
20:31
Speaker 1: defense Bucky, that Shared stood out a little bit last
20:34
Speaker 1: week and and he's not around anymore. Yeah, that's a
20:38
Speaker 1: tough one because the Bosh year was someone there was
20:40
Speaker 1: a bit of a surprise a couple of years ago
20:42
Speaker 1: in New England. He was really counted on, like he
20:44
Speaker 1: has a reputation for being able to make plays, has
20:47
Speaker 1: some pass rushability. So you see it flash and then
20:50
Speaker 1: you look up. He's gone. He's gone to the New
20:52
Speaker 1: York Jazz because he felt like he couldn't get enough
20:55
Speaker 1: reps to really beat the kind of player that he
20:57
Speaker 1: wanted to be, and so away he goes Joe, let's
21:00
Speaker 1: wipe him off the Bractice squad, and now the Jaguars
21:03
Speaker 1: are left to fan for themselves, looking for another player
21:06
Speaker 1: off the edges that can create some disruption and eventually
21:10
Speaker 1: make the quarterback feel their presence off the edges. So
21:16
Speaker 1: it's Allen and Chaison and those are the guys w
21:19
Speaker 1: are gonna roll with which their first round picks. Let's
21:22
Speaker 1: let's get him out there and get him healthy and
21:23
Speaker 1: get him going to the quarterback this week. The quarterback
21:26
Speaker 1: John is justin Herbert's um sixth overall pick. And you
21:30
Speaker 1: know it took a punctured lung to get him in
21:32
Speaker 1: the lineup. Of course, Tyrod Taylor was the starter, and
21:34
Speaker 1: they tried to fix his ribs and ended up poking
21:38
Speaker 1: him in the in the lung. And that was right
21:40
Speaker 1: before a game. He came into and played pretty well.
21:42
Speaker 1: And this is a guy we'll hear Bucky's do on
21:44
Speaker 1: this coming up. But John, he's the future in l A.
21:47
Speaker 1: He has the Chargers quarterback for for here and the future. Well,
21:53
Speaker 1: he certainly looks the part. I haven't seen him very much.
21:56
Speaker 1: I saw him against the Saints and he looked very
21:58
Speaker 1: much like a guy who the confidence the armed play
22:01
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's got the side, he's everything you want.
22:03
Speaker 1: He's a top six pick pop Pen drafted quarterback. He
22:07
Speaker 1: looks like those guys usually look he can sling the ball.
22:10
Speaker 1: He's stand in the pocket and do it. I talked
22:13
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles Times Chargers writer Jeff Miller, who basically
22:21
Speaker 1: summed it up by saying, look, he's gonna make some mistake.
22:24
Speaker 1: But he also wanted once or twice the game makes
22:27
Speaker 1: a play that makes you go, Wow, what armed talent,
22:32
Speaker 1: what ability? The Jaguars to me, have to assume that
22:35
Speaker 1: he's gonna make some of those big plays. Take advantage
22:38
Speaker 1: of the mistake. Catch the ball when he throws it
22:40
Speaker 1: to you, because it sounds like he's still at the
22:42
Speaker 1: age where he will throw you through you occasionally. Yeah,
22:47
Speaker 1: he's a very, very talented player. He was one of
22:51
Speaker 1: the top guys um coming out, obviously at the quarterback position.
22:55
Speaker 1: There were some questions about how big of a difference
22:59
Speaker 1: maker would he be when he got his opportunity to
23:01
Speaker 1: be a franchise quarterback. I think he has surpassed expectations
23:04
Speaker 1: based on how he played at the end of his
23:05
Speaker 1: tenure at Oregon. Big athletic, outstanding arm talent, very very bright, smart, articulately,
23:12
Speaker 1: it does a great job of taking concepts and being
23:14
Speaker 1: able to spit them out and relay them to his teammates.
23:16
Speaker 1: And what we have seen is some of the magic
23:18
Speaker 1: that you want to see from a young quarterback. His
23:21
Speaker 1: ability to make these improvisational plays, His ability to throw
23:25
Speaker 1: these layered bombs in between multiple defenders. We see it
23:28
Speaker 1: each and every week. Sure he can be victimized by
23:31
Speaker 1: some of these hero throws that resulting interceptions, but I
23:35
Speaker 1: think the thing that you have in l A you
23:37
Speaker 1: have hope, you have optimism. They felt like they got
23:40
Speaker 1: it right with their quarterback, and that is a game
23:43
Speaker 1: change when it comes to rebuilding a team. And so, yeah,
23:45
Speaker 1: this would be a challenge for the Jaguars. He will
23:48
Speaker 1: throw something, but man, he's going to make some plays
23:50
Speaker 1: and you have to be ready for it. He can
23:53
Speaker 1: run around a little bit too, right, Bucky. Yeah, he
23:56
Speaker 1: is athletic, and that's what we're seeing In the National
23:57
Speaker 1: Football League. You have to have an athlete at the position.
24:00
Speaker 1: He was a guy that was a three sports standout
24:02
Speaker 1: in high school, big time basketball player, also played baseball.
24:05
Speaker 1: You can see the movement skills. We didn't see that
24:08
Speaker 1: enough at Oregon into the last couple of games, uh
24:11
Speaker 1: the rose Bolt and the packed up championship game where
24:14
Speaker 1: we saw him utilize his legs. When now you're putting
24:17
Speaker 1: a mobile athlete in that Shanahan system. That is the
24:20
Speaker 1: combination of the outside zone with the bootleg and the
24:24
Speaker 1: various uh M direction play action passes that come off
24:27
Speaker 1: of that. He's flourishing in the system. He's a talented player.
24:33
Speaker 1: So how about the weapons around Herbert? You know that
24:36
Speaker 1: this is Keenan Allen, right Hunter, Henry who else I
24:41
Speaker 1: guess stands out for the Chargers on the offensive side.
24:44
Speaker 1: We see Keenelan Allen on our screen. The area is
24:47
Speaker 1: the leading receiver with three D fifty six yards this year.
24:50
Speaker 1: A couple of scores won in last week's last game
24:54
Speaker 1: they've come off the bye week. But the twelves against
24:57
Speaker 1: New Orleans, you got to score in that game as well.
25:00
Speaker 1: What kind of what kind of players do they have
25:02
Speaker 1: around their star quarterback? They have some playmakers. Mike Williams,
25:07
Speaker 1: former number one wide receiver that was taken by the Charges.
25:11
Speaker 1: He is a perfect compliment to Keenan Allen. Big physical guy,
25:14
Speaker 1: can take it off the board in terms of like
25:17
Speaker 1: going to get those alleys He's everything that you look
25:19
Speaker 1: for at the position. And to have two guys like that,
25:22
Speaker 1: where you have Keenan Allen who can get open against anybody,
25:25
Speaker 1: one of the more special and remarkable route runners, and
25:28
Speaker 1: then they have Hunter Henry who control the middle of
25:30
Speaker 1: the field. They have a lot that they can throw
25:33
Speaker 1: at you. And with the young quarterback growing right in
25:36
Speaker 1: front of our eyes, this is an offense that is very, very,
25:39
Speaker 1: very talented. So the challenge is big for the Jacksonville
25:45
Speaker 1: Jaguars this week, John, And you know it sounds like
25:48
Speaker 1: though that some of the front line guys that have
25:51
Speaker 1: been down the last couple of weeks or are making
25:53
Speaker 1: their way back to the lineup for the Jaguars defense.
25:56
Speaker 1: That's a good news, John. Well. The key there is,
26:00
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to get Josh Allen back. You know,
26:03
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of noise in the system about
26:05
Speaker 1: Josh Allen not performing as well as he should have
26:07
Speaker 1: in the first four games. He still has two sack,
26:11
Speaker 1: which I get, we're not great, you know sack sacks,
26:14
Speaker 1: but he has seven quarterback pressures. He's still the guy
26:16
Speaker 1: who can get pressure on the quarterback. He was getting
26:19
Speaker 1: pressure at times early, so you gotta get him back.
26:21
Speaker 1: What worries you a little bit? Your guts sort of
26:24
Speaker 1: tells you. Miles Jack tried to play on the ankle
26:27
Speaker 1: last week, had to leave late in the game. As
26:30
Speaker 1: you said, he was on the car or on one
26:32
Speaker 1: of the push cards after the game. You would think
26:34
Speaker 1: with the by coming up, didn't practice today, maybe he's
26:38
Speaker 1: not out there. That's a huge concern because he's so good.
26:41
Speaker 1: Jared Wilson also didn't practice. So those two things I
26:44
Speaker 1: don't like it at all. Let's hope Josh Allen can
26:47
Speaker 1: get back and put some pressure on the quarterback because
26:51
Speaker 1: even though John Jefferson and Charlie Joyner and West Chandler
26:56
Speaker 1: aren't playing Bucky, the Chargers have some talent. Yeah, they
27:00
Speaker 1: got a lot of talent you brought up, like some
27:02
Speaker 1: of the guys I used to look up to, West chanlel,
27:05
Speaker 1: John Jefferson, Charlie Joiner, killing Winslow being able to put
27:08
Speaker 1: up those points. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I like that.
27:11
Speaker 1: I think the thing that you allude to without Miles Jack,
27:15
Speaker 1: someone has to step up. And I know that we're
27:17
Speaker 1: trying to go easy on the rookies, but caleban Chason
27:20
Speaker 1: has to begin to provide some kind of spark on
27:23
Speaker 1: the other side. Um, you take him hoping that he
27:26
Speaker 1: can be an impact player. You need him to be
27:29
Speaker 1: able to give you some of that production that yannicking
27:31
Speaker 1: gok Way would have given you off the edge. And
27:34
Speaker 1: so I think the pressure has to be on him.
27:36
Speaker 1: We gotta poke them a little bit to see if
27:37
Speaker 1: we can get a little more from him very early
27:39
Speaker 1: in the game. All Right, big week for the Jags defense.
27:44
Speaker 1: Thirty points allowed in this losing skit each time out,
27:48
Speaker 1: trying to get right this week on a long road
27:50

30:15
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars joining us from t I A A bank
30:19
Speaker 1: Field and Mr Luck, good afternoon. What's up? How's it
30:23
Speaker 1: going just here locking it down at the bank. Well,
30:28
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of you. Sound enthused about that too,
30:33
Speaker 1: the right. I like it. Jags going out west this week,
30:39
Speaker 1: you know, and it's um, you know, it's a long
30:42
Speaker 1: road trip, but you know it really doesn't change a
30:45
Speaker 1: lot of what you guys do to prepare or does it.
30:48
Speaker 1: How does that change up anything at all? Or does
30:51
Speaker 1: the new environment out there? New stadium haven't been in
30:53
Speaker 1: there yet. What do you guys have to do differently
30:55
Speaker 1: this week as an equipment staff. Well, it's really not.
30:59
Speaker 1: To my it's different, Like you said, it's just we're
31:01
Speaker 1: doing a one day trip. Um, you know, because some
31:03
Speaker 1: of the COVID stuff, we don't want to get out
31:06
Speaker 1: there and do walk throughs and things. So we're just
31:08
Speaker 1: doing flying out Saturday, leaving a little bit earlier than
31:11
Speaker 1: we normally do, about an hour, and then getting out
31:14
Speaker 1: there setting up. You know, with the time change, it
31:16
Speaker 1: ends up being about the same time getting there and
31:19
Speaker 1: setting the locker room up and getting it going for Sunday.
31:22
Speaker 1: But um, you know, it is indoors, so we don't
31:25
Speaker 1: have to worry about the cold jack you know, cold
31:28
Speaker 1: weather jackets and um screw in cleats and things like that.
31:31
Speaker 1: So um, so it'll be nice. You know, I guess
31:33
Speaker 1: it never rains in southern California, even though they have
31:36
Speaker 1: a dome. But um, so we should be good. So
31:38
Speaker 1: it'll be easy for us from that standpoint. Um putting
31:41
Speaker 1: everything on the plane, so that takes a little bit
31:43
Speaker 1: longer to load, but other than that should be pretty normal. Game.
31:54
Speaker 1: Go ahead, guys, go ahead, raise your hand, Raise your hand,
32:00
Speaker 1: go ahead, No no, no, no, no, go ah. While
32:05
Speaker 1: taking in so so John, this new stadium like with
32:08
Speaker 1: it with the surface being faster, does it change any
32:12
Speaker 1: of the cleats in those things because it looks like
32:14
Speaker 1: a very very fast surface. Uh and so fat stadium. Well,
32:20
Speaker 1: anytime we play on field turf like that, I'm not
32:23
Speaker 1: exactly sure the name brand of their turf, but it's
32:26
Speaker 1: you know, I guess the generic field turf kind of name. Um.
32:30
Speaker 1: A lot of the lineman will wear a different shoe,
32:33
Speaker 1: more of like a turf bottom than an actual um
32:36
Speaker 1: molded spike bottom. Um. That's just their preference. Will bring
32:39
Speaker 1: them both so that way they're covered for whatever, and
32:43
Speaker 1: they'll they'll go out during pregame, run around, see what
32:45
Speaker 1: it feels like, and then if they want to make
32:47
Speaker 1: the switch they can. But it for the most part,
32:50
Speaker 1: it plays just like grass. Obviously, it's not slick. It's
32:54
Speaker 1: you know, good good conditions, nice temperature, dry surface everything.
32:58
Speaker 1: So yeah, like I say, it should play, um, you know,
33:01
Speaker 1: fast and a hot, humid uh bank field out here,
33:07
Speaker 1: go ahead, John Well. Dougas talked some this week about
33:13
Speaker 1: the intensive protocol since the COVID stuff last week has
33:17
Speaker 1: that changed what you guys are doing at all, Jimmy,
33:20
Speaker 1: or is it pretty much status quo in terms of that, Well,
33:24
Speaker 1: we did have to, um, because we were put in
33:27
Speaker 1: that protocol. We had to put on like a visor
33:29
Speaker 1: on everybody and then the mouth shield. Um. So we
33:33
Speaker 1: did that on Tuesday, put it on everybody. Um. You know,
33:37
Speaker 1: the way we did practice today wasn't super intensive. We
33:41
Speaker 1: were inside, so we had the fans going. Nice temperature,
33:44
Speaker 1: it was running outside two so that was nice. Um.
33:47
Speaker 1: But yes, it was just a little bit different. Some
33:49
Speaker 1: guys weren't quite used to it, um. You know, because
33:51
Speaker 1: of the temperature and the humidity here, a lot of
33:53
Speaker 1: guys don't like to wear visors. UM. So there's a
33:56
Speaker 1: few guys kind of complaining, but it's like, hey, you know,
33:58
Speaker 1: that's that's what we gotta do. But we only we
34:01
Speaker 1: only went real hard for a couple of periods and
34:03
Speaker 1: then kind of went to more of a walk through
34:05
Speaker 1: kind of deal so that way they didn't have to
34:07

38:22
Speaker 1: Happy Hour j P. Shadrick, Lucky Brooks, John Olsa, the
38:26
Speaker 1: Jags and the Chargers coming up. The Chargers one and
38:29
Speaker 1: four the coming off of bye week after a game
38:32
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago against the New Orleans Saints, and
38:35
Speaker 1: the Jags have dropped five straight. They're now one in five.
38:38
Speaker 1: They had this was supposed to be the bye week,
38:41
Speaker 1: but the flip flop of the schedule due to the
38:43
Speaker 1: Patriots COVID positive tests have moved the bye week to
38:47
Speaker 1: next week. So this is the final game for the
38:51
Speaker 1: Jaguars heading into the bye week. Let's look at the
38:53
Speaker 1: AFC South standings, shall we, and guys that the Titans
38:57
Speaker 1: remain undefeated. They beat the Texans last week. John, the
39:01
Speaker 1: Titans had all that scare and the positive tests and
39:06
Speaker 1: everything going on um and all of a sudden, all
39:10
Speaker 1: they've done after they come back, John has just win
39:12
Speaker 1: football games and they're five at all and they're facing
39:14
Speaker 1: the Steelers this week. What kind of shows you in
39:18
Speaker 1: the NFL. If you're good, you're good. And they're good.
39:22
Speaker 1: They know exactly how they want to play. They play
39:25
Speaker 1: their certain formula. Ryan Tannehill is very underrated. Their wide
39:28
Speaker 1: receivers are very underrated, but he talks about Derrick Henry.
39:31
Speaker 1: They're a really good balanced team and they know how
39:35
Speaker 1: they want to play. This is a huge game for
39:38
Speaker 1: him because Pittsburgh, believe it or not, Hittsburgh quietly might
39:42
Speaker 1: be the best team in the league. If not, they're
39:45
Speaker 1: on the top three. So a mammoth game the Queen
39:48
Speaker 1: and be I mean huge game, huge game. Tensey Titans
39:53
Speaker 1: look like the real deal, and that's surprising considered how
39:56
Speaker 1: tough we were able to play them a few weeks ago.
39:58
Speaker 1: But this team is clicking on the cylinders. Mike Rabel
40:01
Speaker 1: is really pushing all the right buttons to get them
40:03
Speaker 1: to overcome some of the diversity they face. The Indianapolis
40:08
Speaker 1: Colts had a rally last week and the Philip Rivers
40:13
Speaker 1: led the way, Bucky, and I think that's the best
40:15
Speaker 1: he's looked all season. Yeah, it is the best that
40:18
Speaker 1: he's looking. I give Philip Rivers credit because people were
40:20
Speaker 1: calling for him and after a disappointing performance, Uh, we
40:24
Speaker 1: could go like he bounced back. He bounced back and
40:26
Speaker 1: play well, did a good job of getting the ball
40:28
Speaker 1: to the playmakers. Um this in and apt in Indianapolis
40:31
Speaker 1: Colts team is really solid because they're balanced with the
40:34
Speaker 1: run in the past. Defensively, their lights out, particularly when
40:37
Speaker 1: they have Darius Leonard plan at the second level. So
40:40
Speaker 1: this is a team that I think this race will
40:43
Speaker 1: tighten up certainly between the Titans and the Colts, but
40:46
Speaker 1: right now they obviously at the two front runners. I
40:48
Speaker 1: expect both of those teams to kind of sneak their
40:50
Speaker 1: way into the postseason, and the Texans and the Jaguars
40:55
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the a f C South Texans
40:58
Speaker 1: of course lead the way where the head head tiebreaker.
41:01
Speaker 1: Let's move now into big game Jaguars is where we
41:06
Speaker 1: pick our Jaguars to have a big game this week
41:08
Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Chargers at SO five Stadium. It's
41:12
Speaker 1: a four five eastern kickoff time and Bucky and get
41:16
Speaker 1: a score this week. Who you got? Well, I mean,
41:19
Speaker 1: now I'm all disappointed because John Oshar that's around and
41:22
Speaker 1: told me that Miles Jack may be a scratch, and
41:25
Speaker 1: so I got him being my big game jaguar due
41:27
Speaker 1: to the fact that we need someone to step up
41:29
Speaker 1: and make a big play. And on defense there're three
41:31
Speaker 1: blue chip players is Josh Allen, Miles Jack and C. J. Henderson,
41:35
Speaker 1: And so I'm going from Miles Jack, who knows maybe
41:37
Speaker 1: there's a miracle in the works, maybe that allows him
41:40
Speaker 1: to play. But he's my big game Jaguar. If he
41:42
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to suit up against the charges, he
41:46
Speaker 1: makes a big difference obviously when he is out there
41:48
Speaker 1: for this defense. We'll see what the rest of the
41:50
Speaker 1: week holds. Johnny O, who you got for us today? Well,
41:56
Speaker 1: I want with James Robinson. I guess it's mentioned to
41:58
Speaker 1: prove a point. It's hard art on a five game
42:00
Speaker 1: losing streak to predict guys are gonna have big game.
42:04
Speaker 1: You hope they have big game. You hope that Gardner
42:08
Speaker 1: Minshew can do something early to get Gus Bradley out
42:11
Speaker 1: of a bunched up defense, to draw some defenders out
42:15
Speaker 1: and give James Robinsinson room. He can run, he can
42:20
Speaker 1: the opensive line can run block. It's up to Minshew
42:23
Speaker 1: to make some plays early to give Robinsons some room.
42:26
Speaker 1: If Robinson has a big game, Jaguars had a chance
42:29
Speaker 1: because it means everything is working right. That's an excellent
42:34
Speaker 1: one there, John James Robinson for John Os, I'm going
42:37
Speaker 1: Joe Shoulberg. He led the team and tackles last week,
42:40
Speaker 1: had the interception as well late in the game. Especially
42:43
Speaker 1: if Miles is not available, then Joe's got to direct
42:46
Speaker 1: the traffic a little bit more out there with some
42:49
Speaker 1: inexperience maybe around him in the linebacking corps especially, and
42:53
Speaker 1: then who knows on the back end too. If Jared
42:55
Speaker 1: Wilson is not available. You didn't practice today, so give
42:59
Speaker 1: me over it. He's the big money free agent that
43:03
Speaker 1: they brought in here in the off season, and he's
43:05
Speaker 1: put up some tackle numbers this year. They eleven most
43:08
Speaker 1: of the league. I think it's imperative that he has
43:11
Speaker 1: quite a game this week, especially if those guys are down. Bucky. Yeah,
43:15
Speaker 1: he has to have a big game. He has to
43:17
Speaker 1: be able to control it and really run tackle the
43:20
Speaker 1: tackle box from Taco tacoll be able to keep everything
43:23
Speaker 1: fundled up. This team is going to attempt to run.
43:26
Speaker 1: Even though Justin Herbert has had a lot of success,
43:28
Speaker 1: they still want to run the football. So stopping a
43:30
Speaker 1: run has to be the priority. And in eliminating the
43:33
Speaker 1: deep passes. Those would be the two priorities that I
43:36
Speaker 1: would put on the defense. That's not let them run
43:39
Speaker 1: all over and let's make them denconduct the ball down
43:41
Speaker 1: the field and see if the young quarterback is patient
43:43
Speaker 1: enough to be able to do so. All right, John,
43:47
Speaker 1: tall task this week? The well, it feels like that
43:50
Speaker 1: every week is going to be a Tall task, at
43:51
Speaker 1: least in this time frame. But this is the next
43:54
Speaker 1: one up on the schedule. And then who knows. I
43:57
Speaker 1: mean they last night check hamsa mind did not take
44:00
Speaker 1: the week off. The travel coordinator, the hotel is still booked,
44:03
Speaker 1: the plane still going to fly on Saturday, and they're
44:06
Speaker 1: gonna tee it up at So there is a chance
44:10
Speaker 1: to go play the game, and go play well, and
44:12
Speaker 1: go WinCE them play well. You know, they just have
44:18
Speaker 1: to play like we just haven't seen them play or
44:20
Speaker 1: didn't you put four quarters together? And I think, as
44:25
Speaker 1: Bucky said, a couple of times throughout the show. They
44:28
Speaker 1: need better performances from some areas that haven't performed very
44:33
Speaker 1: well in the last couple of weeks. To me, they
44:34
Speaker 1: need good defensive tackle play, they need better quarterback play.
44:39
Speaker 1: If they can get those two on weeks where those
44:42
Speaker 1: areas play well there than they have the last two
44:45
Speaker 1: or three weeks, they're going to have a chance, and
44:47
Speaker 1: they must take advantage of opportunities when they're there. If
44:51
Speaker 1: they had scored in the red zone in recent weeks,
44:53
Speaker 1: when they had a chance, games would be closer. No
44:56
Speaker 1: reason in the world Herbert won't throw them the ball.
44:58
Speaker 1: There's no reason in the world won't have chances. Take
45:01
Speaker 1: advantage of those opportunities when they're there and you've got
45:03
Speaker 1: a shot. I mean, yeah, that's the way of the
45:12
Speaker 1: land this week. That's a simple way to put it,
45:15
Speaker 1: since what John does, uh keeps it simple. Uh. That's
45:19
Speaker 1: going to do it for our program today and the
45:23
Speaker 1: Jags and the Chargers coming up. John, We'll look forward
45:25
Speaker 1: to your writing the rest of the week, and Bucky,
45:27
Speaker 1: we will talk to you, uh and and take some
45:29
Speaker 1: phone calls after the game. How about it. I mean,
45:32
Speaker 1: I can't wait. You sound like you can't wait. It
45:37
Speaker 1: will be fun on Sunday evening after the Jaguars and
45:41
Speaker 1: the Chargers. John Osier, Bucky Brooks, our entire crew. I'm J. P.
45:45
Speaker 1: Shadrick will catch you next time. Thank you for watching.
