Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up. The game presented by p
0:34
Speaker 1: r I Productions this Sunday. Welcome in J. P. Shadrick
0:38
Speaker 1: in for Ashland Sullivan. This morning. Bryan Sexton with us,
0:42
Speaker 1: John Osier with us, and we start each Friday with
0:46
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Marone and it's coffee with the coach
0:50
Speaker 1: joining us from t i A bank Field. Good morning
0:52
Speaker 1: to you, coach. Appreciate the time as always, and four
0:55
Speaker 1: games to go in the regular season, one week at
0:59
Speaker 1: a time, though the Tennessee Titans are coming in Division
1:01
Speaker 1: rival back in Week two that seems like a long
1:04
Speaker 1: time ago. Now the fun back in that game lost
1:07
Speaker 1: on a late field goal, and now the Titans are
1:09
Speaker 1: coming back here and take us to the week of
1:13
Speaker 1: work for the players this week. After the long losing skid.
1:17
Speaker 1: The coaching staff, there's still a lot of energy to
1:19
Speaker 1: try to get it going the right way down the
1:22
Speaker 1: stretch here. Oh there is you know, when we're coming
1:25
Speaker 1: off a game where obviously we went into overtime, so
1:27
Speaker 1: our defense had about nine snaps and our offense had
1:30
Speaker 1: about seventy seven snaps. So you know, what we try
1:32
Speaker 1: to do during the week is to get everyone back.
1:35
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously at this point of season, there's
1:37
Speaker 1: a lot of bumps and bruises and um, you know,
1:40
Speaker 1: I give a lot of these players credit. You know,
1:42
Speaker 1: they're they're fighting through and trying to come back. And
1:45
Speaker 1: uh so we we kind of backed off a little bit,
1:47
Speaker 1: not as far as just uh, you know reps or
1:49
Speaker 1: anything like that. We actually gotten more reps, but you know,
1:52
Speaker 1: the physical part of it, we backed off a little
1:54
Speaker 1: bit so we can get ourselves ready. We understand that,
1:57
Speaker 1: you know, Tennessee is gonna come in here their physical
1:59
Speaker 1: football team. Uh, They're gonna try to knock us around,
2:01
Speaker 1: and you know we're ready for that challenge. Coach, there's
2:07
Speaker 1: always talk about that. Derrick Henry during Titans Week. I
2:10
Speaker 1: think people who watch this are familiar with him is
2:13
Speaker 1: there anything about him his style as a runner that
2:17
Speaker 1: maybe fans don't see that makes him so effective. I
2:22
Speaker 1: think everyone John can see his uh you know, his size.
2:26
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that's something that everyone can see there. Um.
2:29
Speaker 1: I think you know, he he does a very good
2:33
Speaker 1: job of setting plays up, meaning that uh, you know,
2:36
Speaker 1: plays may be designed to go on the inside. Um.
2:39
Speaker 1: But if he sees that he feels that he has
2:42
Speaker 1: a good matchup with a defender, Let's say it's a
2:44
Speaker 1: smaller player, like a defensive back, whether it be a
2:48
Speaker 1: corner or a safety, you know, he'll immediately jumped that
2:51
Speaker 1: ball outside and try to go to him to see
2:54
Speaker 1: if he's gonna make the play or not. I think
2:56
Speaker 1: the other thing is is that he's one of the
2:58
Speaker 1: unique running backs in the league that you see when
3:01
Speaker 1: you play against him. Uh, there is a actual uh
3:05
Speaker 1: clips of you know, how you're gonna tackle him. You know,
3:08
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of players you know that all
3:10
Speaker 1: of a sudden when you're playing during the week that
3:12
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, okay, wait a minute, now, you know,
3:14
Speaker 1: we have to have a game plan to bring this, uh,
3:16
Speaker 1: this this player down. I think he's one of the
3:19
Speaker 1: exceptions in this league, of of of having that done
3:23
Speaker 1: for our defense. Sort of a similar question about when
3:27
Speaker 1: your players Miles Jack, I haven't asked you about him
3:30
Speaker 1: in a while. Um, he's obviously having maybe his best
3:34
Speaker 1: season as a pro. Why is that beyond just his
3:38
Speaker 1: natural talent, which obviously he had. Yeah, I think I
3:42
Speaker 1: think you know, you know, Miles is a player that
3:45
Speaker 1: he can play multiple positions. I'm talking about our defense
3:50
Speaker 1: and and even you know, I still you know, we
3:52
Speaker 1: we dabbled a little bit last year, were putting him
3:54
Speaker 1: at running back, you know, so um, and he was
3:57
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he did that in college and I'm
4:00
Speaker 1: sure in high school. So you know, so that just
4:02
Speaker 1: gives you a sense of the athletic ability about Miles.
4:05
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, we talked about it before.
4:07
Speaker 1: I think you know, the position he's in now is
4:09
Speaker 1: more of his natural position, and he is having his
4:12
Speaker 1: best year and he's having a Pro Bowl, All Pro year.
4:14
Speaker 1: I mean, he should be. You know, he's the one
4:17
Speaker 1: player that you know, I've played at a high level
4:19
Speaker 1: consistently throughout the season, and um, you know I don't
4:23
Speaker 1: I'd be you know, if he doesn't make it. If
4:26
Speaker 1: he doesn't get voted for the Pro Bowl. Would be ashamed.
4:30
Speaker 1: You know, coaching almost thirty years of covering this league,
4:33
Speaker 1: I've learned not to ask coaches if they're surprised by much,
4:35
Speaker 1: because you guys rarely are. But I can't think of
4:38
Speaker 1: any other way to ask it. Then, are you surprised
4:40
Speaker 1: at the way that your defense took the field last week?
4:43
Speaker 1: With Daniel Aqualit and Doug posting and Greg may been
4:47
Speaker 1: an Aaron Lynch. I mean, there's so many guys who
4:49
Speaker 1: are are playing in prominent roles, who who weren't a
4:52
Speaker 1: factor when you broke camp, who weren't a factor before
4:54
Speaker 1: the bye, and you're holding that offense in Minnesota down.
4:59
Speaker 1: Are you bit surprised, pleasant least so that this group
5:03
Speaker 1: has been able to gel and find a way to
5:04
Speaker 1: play together. And and do you think that they'll be
5:08
Speaker 1: up forward again? Well? I think they'll always be, but
5:13
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have the same type of activity,
5:16
Speaker 1: obviously pushing for more, but those inside got really gone. Um,
5:22
Speaker 1: you know, kind of under the radar, you know, because
5:24
Speaker 1: of all the losses and what our record is. But
5:27
Speaker 1: you know, Gossis is another player that's been consistent for
5:29
Speaker 1: us all year, Um costing. I'm happy to see because
5:33
Speaker 1: you know, early on, without preseason, we had to make
5:36
Speaker 1: a decision whether to keep him on a roster or not.
5:39
Speaker 1: We kept him on a roster because we didn't want
5:41
Speaker 1: to lose them. And then now when he started playing,
5:43
Speaker 1: he started being productive, so that's really helped us. And
5:45
Speaker 1: then Daniel obviously we acquired during the year. UM, we like,
5:49
Speaker 1: um a lot of things that we saw early on
5:51
Speaker 1: and then UM, you know, his production starting to pick up.
5:54
Speaker 1: So those things are those things are great, and those
5:56
Speaker 1: things happen you know you're on you're on the right path.
5:59
Speaker 1: So UM, you know, I I expect them to keep going.
6:02
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys are given everything they have. UM,
6:05
Speaker 1: you know, their plans the football for us at uh
6:08
Speaker 1: you know, at a consistent level, and they have to
6:10
Speaker 1: keep that going, especially this week. This week they'll be tested,
6:13
Speaker 1: you know, and I think every week you know you're
6:14
Speaker 1: gonna get tested. But I think we all understand what
6:17
Speaker 1: we're facing this week. I just wanted to get one
6:20
Speaker 1: more thought. We've talked about a lot of the young
6:22
Speaker 1: guys who've been in the lineup for you this year.
6:24
Speaker 1: Josiah Scott was one of the last of the draft class,
6:27
Speaker 1: you know, to find the field. Uh, we haven't seen
6:30
Speaker 1: a lot from Shaq Portermen, tell me how those two
6:32
Speaker 1: guys are doing in the roles that you've got them
6:34
Speaker 1: playing right now. Yeah, I mean, shacks are are backup
6:38
Speaker 1: mic linebacker. So Joe Scholbert has been you know healthy,
6:40
Speaker 1: and you know Shock had a little injury you without
6:43
Speaker 1: for a while, but he's been playing on special teams
6:45
Speaker 1: for us and and really doing a good job. So
6:46
Speaker 1: we're really happy with him. And then m Josiah Scott.
6:49
Speaker 1: I mean he's out there now planning. I mean so, um,
6:53
Speaker 1: you know, I just gotta keep getting more consistent about
6:57
Speaker 1: the email and make those plays. He's in the right spot.
6:59
Speaker 1: You've you gotta be able tackle and make plays. And
7:01
Speaker 1: he's out there playing, so we have a good evaluation
7:04
Speaker 1: for where he's at. And you know, he just gotta
7:05
Speaker 1: keep getting better and better each week. I mean, you know,
7:08
Speaker 1: like you said, we have a lot of young guys
7:10
Speaker 1: that you know, have never experienced playing in the NFL before.
7:12
Speaker 1: And I went out a preseason the first time that
7:15
Speaker 1: they're out there. So, um, you know, you get all
7:17
Speaker 1: of a sudden A lot of times it's a little
7:19
Speaker 1: bit of a wake up call. I remember a great
7:21
Speaker 1: story I had. Jamon bush Ride was our our left
7:24
Speaker 1: tackle in New Orleans after Jamal left. He was the
7:28
Speaker 1: left tackle on the Super Bowl team. And it was
7:30
Speaker 1: during one of the preseason games. We had a deal
7:33
Speaker 1: with the offense saying, hey, listen, if we go in
7:35
Speaker 1: and score the first two drives, we'll take you guys out.
7:37
Speaker 1: So we're playing the Colts. We go in there in
7:39
Speaker 1: the preseason, we scored the first two drives, we take
7:42
Speaker 1: the first team out, we throw the we throw the
7:44
Speaker 1: second team out, and uh um. So Jaman Bush rods
7:49
Speaker 1: out there, and all of a sudden, you know, over
7:50
Speaker 1: the headset, I hear, hey, they didn't take the first
7:52
Speaker 1: defense out. You know, he's lining up on Freeny and
7:55
Speaker 1: the first third down we ran the ball in first down,
7:57
Speaker 1: second and first third down. Freny blew right by him
8:00
Speaker 1: back the quarterback, and I remember he was walking up
8:01
Speaker 1: to feel like I said, well, now you just figured
8:04
Speaker 1: out what it's going to take the play on Sundays
8:05
Speaker 1: in in the NFL. And I think I take that
8:09
Speaker 1: because a lot of these guys are experienced. It's different
8:12
Speaker 1: when you practice when you don't have preseason, you go
8:14
Speaker 1: out there on the field. So I think these younger
8:16
Speaker 1: players now are realizing, um, you know, how well or
8:19
Speaker 1: how well you have to prepare, how will you have
8:21
Speaker 1: to be or how talented you have to be to
8:23
Speaker 1: be able to play on Sunday. Great story head coach
8:27
Speaker 1: Doug Moron with US Coffee with the coach on Friday morning,
8:30
Speaker 1: and speaking of another young guy, I don't know what
8:33
Speaker 1: much more we could say about James Robinson's season so
8:37
Speaker 1: far at running back, But I'm curious. Was there a
8:41
Speaker 1: moment in training camp when you realize, hey, this could
8:45
Speaker 1: be the guy? Was there a play? Was there a day?
8:48
Speaker 1: Was there a moment in the classroom where the light
8:52
Speaker 1: went off and said, hey, this is our running back? What? What?
8:54
Speaker 1: When was that? Well? I don't I think it was.
8:59
Speaker 1: It was gradual. But I would think the biggest day
9:02
Speaker 1: for me was when we had some past protection uh drills,
9:08
Speaker 1: because that's the one thing that's going to separate whether
9:10
Speaker 1: you can play player or not, especially third down. Um,
9:13
Speaker 1: you know, he always showed course discipline always, you know,
9:16
Speaker 1: showed a burst always, uh you know, had a really
9:19
Speaker 1: good feel for the scheme. But I think one that
9:22
Speaker 1: day when I saw the path protection. That was a
9:25
Speaker 1: day that had that that really spiked up saying, hey, um,
9:29
Speaker 1: you know, if he's good enough, this guy can play
9:31
Speaker 1: because he can definitely protect. And um, that was probably
9:34
Speaker 1: it was early on in camp and then um, you know,
9:37
Speaker 1: after we had the pads on, So there was a
9:39
Speaker 1: bunch of days prior to that. But then once we
9:41
Speaker 1: got the pads on and I was able to see
9:43
Speaker 1: him protect with the way he had run, I felt
9:46
Speaker 1: like I felt like we were in good shape. Then
9:47
Speaker 1: it was just a matter of you know, you know,
9:49
Speaker 1: we know we have a good football player, but how
9:51
Speaker 1: good of a football player we won't know until we
9:54
Speaker 1: start playing. And obviously James was stepped up and he's
9:57
Speaker 1: done an excellent job. Yeah, and hopefully he'll get some
10:01
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl consideration, more than just some. He should be
10:05
Speaker 1: right up there among the leading vote getters, hopefully the
10:07
Speaker 1: way he's played this year. Uh, Doug, good luck to
10:09
Speaker 1: you this week. Let's get a w against the Titans
10:12
Speaker 1: and and move on down the line. He appreciate it, great,
10:15

14:03
Speaker 1: is time to get into our game preview presented by
14:05
Speaker 1: Simply I O A. And it starts with a key
14:10
Speaker 1: point for every game against the Titans, and that is
14:13
Speaker 1: buckle the tin strap. It's going to be a physical
14:16
Speaker 1: football game. You gotta scheme it up. We'll get into
14:19
Speaker 1: that coming up, and of course, most importantly, protect the football.
14:25
Speaker 1: The Jags have not fared well and most teams don't.
14:28
Speaker 1: When you turn the ball over more than the opponent.
14:31
Speaker 1: Let's get into the buckle the tin tin strap game guys.
14:33
Speaker 1: Of course, this is it always is a physical matchup
14:37
Speaker 1: that you can say that a lot about the Titans game,
14:40
Speaker 1: but that means it's going to be one of those
14:42
Speaker 1: where they're gonna pound you and you're gonna have to
14:44
Speaker 1: stand up at some point and try to stop it.
14:47
Speaker 1: You know what what stands out to me about this
14:49
Speaker 1: is what Dwan Smooth said yesterday in his news conference,
14:52
Speaker 1: and that was that normally at this point of the year,
14:56
Speaker 1: guys are worn down. And so Derrick Henry, who again
15:00
Speaker 1: is the Jaguars, in the first month of the season
15:01
Speaker 1: averages three point four yards per carry, but in the
15:05
Speaker 1: last four weeks of the season has averaged more than
15:08
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry. He's just found it easy to
15:12
Speaker 1: be able to put his bruising style against guys who
15:15
Speaker 1: were worn down and make things happen. I mean, you've
15:18
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys who are out there who
15:19
Speaker 1: are young, who haven't played a whole season of football,
15:22
Speaker 1: who spent some time on the practice squad. I'm really
15:24
Speaker 1: interested to see how this one goes. But this is
15:27
Speaker 1: what what football coaches, high school football coaches in particular,
15:30
Speaker 1: right because those are the ones who who seem to
15:33
Speaker 1: have the caveman mentality these days. They don't worry as
15:36
Speaker 1: much about saving their guys. They go play double chin strap, right,
15:41
Speaker 1: get the double chin strap, fellas. You need to be
15:43
Speaker 1: ready because not only are you running the ball on Sunday,
15:46
Speaker 1: our pardon me, not only are you trying to stop
15:48
Speaker 1: the run on Sunday, You're gonna be running the ball
15:50
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I mean, this is a game where James
15:52
Speaker 1: Robinson is going to have to do his best. Yeah,
15:57
Speaker 1: physico ball game, John, And that's the way it goes.
16:00
Speaker 1: Times we have those visions, you know. It's always to
16:03
Speaker 1: your point, Brian. You know a lot of times this
16:05
Speaker 1: time of year too, if a team's out of the race,
16:07
Speaker 1: there are business decisions to be made on the defensive
16:10
Speaker 1: side of the football, and they don't want any piece
16:12
Speaker 1: of thig Derrick Henry running down the sideline. So uh,
16:16
Speaker 1: let's let's see. You know, I think this is a
16:18
Speaker 1: young group that really wants to try to prove themselves
16:20
Speaker 1: on the defensive side. John. You gotta scheme it up
16:23
Speaker 1: though as well, and see if you can get something done. Yeah,
16:28
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you'll have business decisions out
16:31
Speaker 1: of this Diaguars defense. I don't think so either, and
16:33
Speaker 1: jpre Brian, yes, Doug about the effort level, it's been
16:36
Speaker 1: remarkable last four or five games. And frankly, there's so
16:39
Speaker 1: many young guys on this defense. You know what worries
16:43
Speaker 1: you is as they go to tackle Derrick Henry. A
16:46
Speaker 1: lot of these guys have never done it before. And
16:48
Speaker 1: as Doug said, there's a different thing about tackling the
16:50
Speaker 1: guy more than that. Though, you know, we all have
16:54
Speaker 1: short memories in September, it really wasn't Derrick Henry who
16:59
Speaker 1: changed the game. It was the fact that Ryan Tanney
17:02
Speaker 1: Hill I think it was thirteen touchdown passes JP or
17:05
Speaker 1: fourteeny thru it was he lit him up. So this
17:11
Speaker 1: is a very balanced offense that if you get up
17:14
Speaker 1: to stop Derrick Henry now they will beat you. To me,
17:18
Speaker 1: the Jaguars hope get the Titans block on offense because
17:23
Speaker 1: it's not a great pass rush, and maybe see if
17:26
Speaker 1: Glenning can make some plays downfield. The compliment Robinson JP.
17:30
Speaker 1: Here's where the scheme comes in though, because normally, and
17:33
Speaker 1: you guys know this, in our league, this is about player, right,
17:37
Speaker 1: You scheme players. You don't scheme schemes. However, when you
17:41
Speaker 1: have as many frontline players out as the Jaguars have out,
17:45
Speaker 1: you've got to figure out ways to help cornerbacks like
17:48
Speaker 1: Luke Barkoo and Josiah Scott. You've got to figure out
17:51
Speaker 1: how to put guys in positions so they can have
17:54
Speaker 1: some success and not completely exposed guys on the back
17:57
Speaker 1: end or vice versa. So I Padwash and his staff
18:01
Speaker 1: I thought did a tremendous job last week in Minnesota.
18:04
Speaker 1: I mean the number of guys on the filth I'm
18:07
Speaker 1: I've got my flip card out and I'm just trying
18:09
Speaker 1: to figure out who's on the field at one point,
18:11
Speaker 1: imagine trying to figure out a way to stop Dalvin
18:13
Speaker 1: Cook and Justin Jefferson. Uh, you know, when you don't
18:17
Speaker 1: know who's who, you got. So this really becomes Coordinators
18:21
Speaker 1: really earned their money in a game like this because
18:23
Speaker 1: they've got to figure out who can do what and
18:24
Speaker 1: how to put him in a position to succeed. Right,
18:28
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of different guys coming on
18:30
Speaker 1: and off the field. To your point, Brian, the Jaguars
18:32
Speaker 1: have the most different players on the field for at
18:35
Speaker 1: least to snap the season in the NFL seventy seven
18:38
Speaker 1: different players this year. That's a lot of a lot
18:41
Speaker 1: of change this season. And of course the final point
18:44
Speaker 1: protect the football. Last week the Jags gave it away
18:47
Speaker 1: four times. They did take it back away twice. One
18:50
Speaker 1: of those was in the red zone. So you know,
18:53
Speaker 1: obviously you lose the turnover battle in a game like this.
18:56
Speaker 1: Good night and good luck. Hey, look, we wouldn't be
19:00
Speaker 1: having this this Glennan Gardner conversation this week if they're
19:04
Speaker 1: weren't the turnovers, because he's played well enough and he's
19:07
Speaker 1: given young guys opportunities to make plays to keep the
19:10
Speaker 1: Jaguars in these last two games. You know, one was
19:13
Speaker 1: a two point conversion away from overtime and the other
19:16
Speaker 1: went to overtime, and Glenna did that, except he turned
19:19
Speaker 1: the ball over three times. And so that has people saying, well,
19:21
Speaker 1: why don't you go to gardener um protect the football
19:25
Speaker 1: and give yourself a chance. Yeah, that's pretty much what
19:31
Speaker 1: has to happen this week. John, you gotta hold onto
19:33
Speaker 1: that football and steal it a time or two on
19:35
Speaker 1: defense if you can, if you can scheme it up
19:37
Speaker 1: the right way, right, John, gonna take away or two
19:39
Speaker 1: and help out the offense. Well, the only game they
19:43
Speaker 1: won this year, they won the turnover battle. They've wanted
19:45
Speaker 1: a couple of other times in very very close games,
19:49
Speaker 1: So that's their formula. But the shocking thing about last
19:53
Speaker 1: week was that they committed four turnovers and took a
19:56
Speaker 1: playoff contending teamed overtime. It shows you how well they
19:58
Speaker 1: played everywhere else. I agree with Brian, you know, you
20:02
Speaker 1: can't really stay with the quarterback well except for turnovers.
20:04
Speaker 1: He played great because that's such a it's such a
20:07
Speaker 1: huge part of it, and the the interception costing the game.
20:10
Speaker 1: But if Glennan can channel a little bit of that
20:14
Speaker 1: last drive in regulation and avoid the turnover, I think
20:19
Speaker 1: fans will see exactly why he's in the game. But
20:21
Speaker 1: you know, overall, if they're not plus two this week
20:27
Speaker 1: and turnovers, I can't see him winning. To me, this
20:29
Speaker 1: is a brutally tough task with the Titans as good
20:32
Speaker 1: offensively as they are. There. You haven't our game preview
20:36
Speaker 1: presented by simply I O A. And we'll return in
20:39

23:36
Speaker 1: been able to go to a Jags game using the
23:38

23:42
Speaker 1: and it's as easy as can be to get in
23:45
Speaker 1: the stadium. You pull it up on the phone. You
23:47
Speaker 1: pulled it up in front of the thing, it scans
23:49
Speaker 1: it and boom, you're in, really really nice. Don't have
23:52
Speaker 1: to to contact any anything, anybody and get in. So
23:57
Speaker 1: check that out on Sunday. I hope you'll join us
23:59
Speaker 1: time now for he will, he won't. Hey, Mike, you
24:06
Speaker 1: got the gestures down, Jade. I love him. I love it.
24:10
Speaker 1: You got it. You got the spirit of this thing.
24:12
Speaker 1: So I went with Caleb and Jason, and I have
24:15
Speaker 1: to be completely honest. Um, as I'm going through the
24:17
Speaker 1: flip card, you know who's fifty nine, who you know
24:20
Speaker 1: who's ninety nine, and trying to put names in numbers
24:22
Speaker 1: together on defense last week I had to go back
24:25
Speaker 1: to the flip trut because I saw forty five, forty
24:28
Speaker 1: forty five all over the field. Um, oh, that's Caleb
24:31
Speaker 1: and Jason. You know, we haven't talked about him that
24:33
Speaker 1: much this year. He hadn't done that much this year,
24:36
Speaker 1: but last week he flashed all over the field. And
24:39
Speaker 1: I know you've talked with Jeff and Tony and you
24:41
Speaker 1: know this is that point of the season where guys
24:43
Speaker 1: start to flash. Young guys with talent start to show
24:48
Speaker 1: themselves because they've got time on task and they're starting
24:51
Speaker 1: to figure things out. So I say that he will
24:54
Speaker 1: do the exact same thing this week. He'll flash. You'll
24:56
Speaker 1: see him all over the field. He is the kind
24:59
Speaker 1: of athlete and he's got good size too and nearly
25:02
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty pounds that he can make things happen.
25:05
Speaker 1: So he will flash again this week. He won't be
25:09
Speaker 1: that guy who puts his hand in the ground and
25:12
Speaker 1: stuffs there at Kenry. He's not that kind of a
25:14
Speaker 1: defensive end. Truthfully, who can't, right, I mean, Calais Campbell
25:18
Speaker 1: might have been the best opportunity as a defensive end
25:20
Speaker 1: to do that. But he will be in on tackle, right.
25:23
Speaker 1: I mean, he knows how to shed blocks and he
25:25
Speaker 1: will get the guy. He'll get a shot at him
25:27
Speaker 1: here and there. But he's not a run stuffer, so
25:31
Speaker 1: don't look for him to hold the point. He's gonna
25:32
Speaker 1: need some help if they run his way. He might
25:35
Speaker 1: come up with a big play. I mean, you just
25:37
Speaker 1: you see this guy with his long arms and you
25:40
Speaker 1: can see where he's close to making a play. This
25:42
Speaker 1: might be the week where he puts it all together
25:44
Speaker 1: with a hit on the quarterbacks. Stripped the ball, knock
25:47
Speaker 1: it out, let Miles Jack pick it up and scoop
25:49
Speaker 1: and score kind of thing. This might be the week
25:51
Speaker 1: for his big play, you know, if he's flashing all
25:53
Speaker 1: over the field like I think he can't. All Right,
25:56
Speaker 1: I like it. Caleb and chaise on John what he
25:59
Speaker 1: got for us? All Right? You ready for this, jap,
26:04
Speaker 1: Buckle up, because I've got Mike Glennon. He will start
26:10
Speaker 1: Sunday and he's gonna start the rest of the regular
26:12
Speaker 1: season unless disaster strike. To me, he's the guy that
26:17
Speaker 1: we all know. This is not the quarterback of the future,
26:21
Speaker 1: is not on the roster and all that, but he's
26:23
Speaker 1: the guy. So what are Jaguars fans looking for? Well,
26:27
Speaker 1: he won't be under a lot of pressure Sunday. This
26:30
Speaker 1: is the Titans defense that does not rush the pastor
26:33
Speaker 1: particularly well. They're not great on third down. I think
26:36
Speaker 1: Juwann Taylor and Cam Robinson, who struggled the times this
26:39
Speaker 1: year in big situation, I think they'll be okay this week.
26:42
Speaker 1: It'll It'll give Glennon time too. He might. He might
26:47
Speaker 1: turn this thing into a shootout. And the reason I
26:50
Speaker 1: say that is we don't think of Mike Glenn in
26:52
Speaker 1: it as the shootout guy, but all of a sudden
26:55
Speaker 1: you've got Johnson, Colin Johnson, You've got Channel's Healthy, Luiska
26:58
Speaker 1: Chanal and d J chart. This is the week where
27:02
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the weapons, the tight ends were
27:04
Speaker 1: involved last week. I say shoot out wow, like a
27:11
Speaker 1: big twelve game up and down the field of pinball
27:13
Speaker 1: machine will break out a t I A bank field?
27:16
Speaker 1: Uh this week? And I'm gonna go with James Robinson. Yes, Um,
27:22
Speaker 1: he will go over a thousand rushing yards this week.
27:26
Speaker 1: He's not that far away. Um. He won't get a
27:31
Speaker 1: big head. That's not his personality. He is as humble
27:36
Speaker 1: as can be. This goes about his business and even
27:39
Speaker 1: with all the accolades and the talk coming in about
27:42
Speaker 1: his play this year, he will not do that. And
27:46
Speaker 1: he might score three times this week. I don't know
27:52
Speaker 1: any combination on the ground through the air. I think
27:55
Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's obviously the big piece of the
27:57
Speaker 1: offense for the Jags. So you haven't James Robinson, I
28:01
Speaker 1: think has a day as part of John Osian's penball
28:04
Speaker 1: machine type day at t I A bank field. Do
28:07
Speaker 1: you remember the last Jaguar to score three touchdowns in
28:10
Speaker 1: the game. Wasn't that Believe it or not. It was
28:15
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis in London against the Ravens in game in
28:21
Speaker 1: It's been a while, you know, but not that long,
28:23
Speaker 1: So I'll go with that one. And I have to
28:25
Speaker 1: throw this in. You know, I went and looked at
28:28
Speaker 1: all the undrafted rookie free agents and it's not been
28:30
Speaker 1: that long since the Jaguars had another prominent one. You
28:33
Speaker 1: remember a guy named Alan Hearns who had fifty seven
28:38
Speaker 1: catches six touchdowns in his rookie season. But just in
28:42
Speaker 1: case you're wondering, this is by far and away the
28:46
Speaker 1: best rookie free agent the Jaguars have ever had. And
28:49
Speaker 1: they've had some guys who have made an impact, but
28:51
Speaker 1: nothing like this. This blows me away what he's been
28:55
Speaker 1: able to do when you look at the numbers and
28:57
Speaker 1: where he ranks, you know, up against the Alvin Kamaras
29:00
Speaker 1: of the world, even in the NFL this year. Um,
29:04
Speaker 1: it's been a sensational season. And when it's all said
29:06
Speaker 1: and done and people are not mired in an eleven
29:09
Speaker 1: game losing streak and it really have a chance to
29:12
Speaker 1: reflect on him. What a great story he's been. It's
29:16
Speaker 1: been great. Let's hope it continues the rest of the
29:18
Speaker 1: way here and on into the future. Let's come back

29:23

Speaker 1: for pick one and pick it. This is where we
31:39
Speaker 1: pick a game and pick the result of the game.
31:41
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go first. I'm gonna shake it up
31:43
Speaker 1: and going first to get mine out of the way.
31:45
Speaker 1: Because it's two teams with losing records. You say, hey, JP,
31:51
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Well, it's two teams that JP.
31:53
Speaker 1: What are you doing too? Oh yeah, you would say self, JP,
31:58
Speaker 1: what do those JP doing? Um? Well, it's two teams
32:01
Speaker 1: clinging to the NFC wild card hopes and it's Washington
32:06
Speaker 1: and San Francisco. So the football team has won three
32:10
Speaker 1: straight and they knocked off the Steelers last week by
32:13
Speaker 1: a score. They blew out the Cowboys two weeks ago,
32:16
Speaker 1: and they beat the Bengals before that. They've got the
32:19
Speaker 1: Niners this week, They've got the Seahawks after that at home,
32:24
Speaker 1: the Panthers at home, and then at the Eagles. The
32:26
Speaker 1: schedule is favorable for Washington if they can keep things
32:31
Speaker 1: going down the stretch here, and of course they're playing
32:33
Speaker 1: a San Francisco team that's just been beat to smith
32:36
Speaker 1: Rings this year. They've dropped four of the last five.
32:38
Speaker 1: They beat the Rams a couple of weeks ago, though
32:40
Speaker 1: to keep their hopes alive, lost to the Bills last week.
32:43
Speaker 1: They've got at Dallas at Arizona in Seattle. But both
32:48
Speaker 1: of these teams are five and seven and they need it.
32:52
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lean towards Washington though, because they are getting warm.
32:56
Speaker 1: It feels like well relative because they're in the NFC East,
32:59
Speaker 1: but they are getting warmer. That's mine. Brian, go ahead.
33:04
Speaker 1: First of all, is there any doubt that no matter
33:06
Speaker 1: what nickname Washington chooses in the future, they will always
33:11
Speaker 1: be known as the football team. I mean, I think
33:13
Speaker 1: that's just become part of pro football lexicon. This year,
33:16
Speaker 1: I might even just capitalize the and go with the
33:20
Speaker 1: football team, kind of like the Ohio State University became
33:23
Speaker 1: popular on Monday Night football years ago. So I don't
33:26
Speaker 1: know that I would change it. I went with a
33:29
Speaker 1: really good playoff caliber game, and that's the Colts at
33:33
Speaker 1: the Raiders. And I say it's really good because there's
33:36
Speaker 1: seven playoff teams this year. By the way, because you're
33:40
Speaker 1: wondering that was decided before COVID changed the face of
33:43
Speaker 1: the NFL this year. UM, and the Colts are sitting
33:47
Speaker 1: in the seventh slot, and right behind them are the Raiders,
33:51
Speaker 1: who got hammered two weeks ago in Atlanta and came
33:55
Speaker 1: back in one thanks to Greg Williams decision for the
33:58
Speaker 1: zero blitz. UM. But all of a sudden, they're sitting
34:01
Speaker 1: at eight and you've got eight and four and seven
34:03
Speaker 1: and five. And I think that the Raiders have an
34:07
Speaker 1: explosive offense and the Colts have a really good defense.
34:10
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to see this one. You've got two quarterbacks,
34:14
Speaker 1: one who's older in Philip Rivers and the other who's
34:17
Speaker 1: younger in David Carr. But they just seem like the
34:20
Speaker 1: same guy. UM, good but but not great. And you
34:24
Speaker 1: know sometimes they've struggled to get out of their own way.
34:27
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I just I love this matchup.
34:29
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Raiders at home. I think
34:31
Speaker 1: maybe last week and that that that Henry Ruggs playing,
34:34
Speaker 1: by the way, is that guy fast like he's own
34:36
Speaker 1: rails going down the sideline. UM, I just think the
34:39
Speaker 1: Raiders have something special, uh speed wise that they can
34:44
Speaker 1: put into play. And I'm going with the Raiders and
34:46
Speaker 1: they'll move the Colts out of the seven spot and
34:49
Speaker 1: jump into it. He's fast, but he's a lot faster
34:52
Speaker 1: when you have the backup to the backup corner out
34:55
Speaker 1: there covering him and one on one situation, YO, take
34:59
Speaker 1: us home. Well, I went Browns Ravens, and this is
35:03
Speaker 1: intriguing for a number of reasons. You know, the Browns
35:06
Speaker 1: are favored slightly. It's been and I was trying to
35:10
Speaker 1: find the stat but since the Browns got back in
35:12
Speaker 1: the league, they've only played Baltimore late in the season
35:16
Speaker 1: with a better record than the Ravens. A handful of times.
35:19
Speaker 1: It might be like two or three, but it's not many.
35:22
Speaker 1: This is an unusual situation for the Browns to be
35:24
Speaker 1: in actually better record than the Ravens. But are they
35:28
Speaker 1: better the Ravens of struggle? Everybody knows they're good. Remember
35:32
Speaker 1: the Browns beat the Ravens in the open or thirty eight.
35:35
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry vice versa. Ravens beat the Browns six.
35:38
Speaker 1: It looked like the Browns were done. I just have
35:41
Speaker 1: a feeling that the Browns are going to figure out
35:44
Speaker 1: a way to win this, and if they do, the
35:46
Speaker 1: Ravens are in real trouble the preseason pick it was
35:49
Speaker 1: them in the Chiefs. Uh. This is a huge game
35:52
Speaker 1: for the Ravens and I'm not sure they win it. Yeah,
35:56
Speaker 1: good ball game. The Browns currently have the five seed
35:59
Speaker 1: if it ended the day, but there's not a lot
36:01
Speaker 1: of margin for error in the a f C by
36:03
Speaker 1: the way, in the wild card race. So a lot
36:06
Speaker 1: of good football teams in the a f C this year.
36:08
Speaker 1: There you have it, pick one and pick it. The
36:10
Speaker 1: Jags and the Titans coming up Sunday and the guys,
36:13
Speaker 1: it was a pleasure to be with you again. You'll
36:15
Speaker 1: have Ashland back next week. JP, thanks for taking the
