- 0:28Speaker 3: Chackrick, Welcome in.
- 0:32Speaker 4: It is Jaguars Happy Hour, Tower Bridge, London, over the Thames,
- 0:36Speaker 4: and now the Jaguars about to play their fourteenth game
- 0:40Speaker 4: in the Capitol, the eleventh at Wimbley Stadium coming up
- 0:43Speaker 4: this Sunday, the Rams and the Jaguars under the Yards.
- 0:46Speaker 2: It is Jaguars Happy Hour Thursday October sixteenth. Jaguars in London.
- 0:51Speaker 4: Will talk about the Rams offense against the Jaguars defense.
- 0:55Speaker 4: That matchup is intriguing and of course the Jags offense
- 0:58Speaker 4: looking for a spark against an other group that can
- 1:01Speaker 4: rush the passer and JAG's HQ coming up at five o'clock.
- 1:04Speaker 4: We'll here from James Gladstone and Tony BUSSELLI. Gladstone with
- 1:07Speaker 4: plenty of connections to the La Rams. We're on ten
- 1:10Speaker 4: to XCEL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com,
- 1:13Speaker 4: Jaguars YouTube. J P. Shadrick with you We're at the
- 1:17Speaker 4: manor house of the Grove resort, built in the late
- 1:21Speaker 4: seventeen hundreds. Brian Section is in. Jeff Loghman is on
- 1:24Speaker 4: assignment today.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Is that what they call it.
- 1:26Speaker 4: That's what it's literally, on assignment somewhere. He's doing other things. Okay,
- 1:29Speaker 4: so welcome in there to see thank you.
- 1:31Speaker 3: I kind of feel like I am living the game
- 1:34Speaker 3: of clue right in the library. It was JP Shadrick
- 1:38Speaker 3: in the library with a cell phone. Yeah, not a candlestick, right,
- 1:42Speaker 3: I don't see any candle. Oh yeah, I do see
- 1:44Speaker 3: a couple of Boston's over here. I see one there.
- 1:46Speaker 2: There's a lot in here. Of course.
- 1:48Speaker 4: This is a this is home swee home for the Jaguars,
- 1:51Speaker 4: has been for a number of years. And other folks
- 1:53Speaker 4: you're at the Grove are fantastic. The support staff here
- 1:56Speaker 4: and uh, it really feels like.
- 1:59Speaker 3: A home game right too, Yeah, it does. They've done
- 2:01Speaker 3: an excellent job. The Jaguars feel very comfortable here. They
- 2:04Speaker 3: know the practice routine very well here and they settled
- 2:07Speaker 3: right into it when they arrived on Tuesday, and they.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Can practice here as well.
- 2:10Speaker 4: The field right across the property laid out for soccer
- 2:14Speaker 4: but they've striped it off. Of course for NFL as well,
- 2:17Speaker 4: there's usually a team here each and every London game
- 2:20Speaker 4: and usually the home team gets to stay here at
- 2:22Speaker 4: the grove and that is the case. And today the
- 2:24Speaker 4: Jaguars were out there in the uppers in pads today.
- 2:28Speaker 4: And you know, yesterday it was walk through later in
- 2:31Speaker 4: the afternoon, trying to still get acclimated and rest their
- 2:34Speaker 4: legs a little bit. But today a little more work
- 2:37Speaker 4: and then you know, it's something the physicality of it.
- 2:39Speaker 2: They got to get back on track.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Well, Liam said it in his postgame interview last week
- 2:44Speaker 3: that maybe they needed to get the pads on and
- 2:46Speaker 3: get back to playing more physical football. You get fourteen
- 2:50Speaker 3: fully padded practices to use from the start of the
- 2:53Speaker 3: regular season through the end of the playoffs, and so
- 2:56Speaker 3: to use them you have to you have to figure
- 2:58Speaker 3: out strategically where there's the best point. You know, we
- 3:01Speaker 3: were talking about it earlier on jack ZM. Today it
- 3:04Speaker 3: seemed like the Jaguars offensive line was playing a little
- 3:06Speaker 3: tentative because they were trying to give themselves a little
- 3:09Speaker 3: bit more room, right, an extra step perhaps to see
- 3:12Speaker 3: what was coming. Because Seattle kept using so many different
- 3:15Speaker 3: schemes and blitzes, and the jaguars inability to run meant
- 3:19Speaker 3: that they could tee off and it just kind of
- 3:21Speaker 3: felt like they were retreating a bit. And obviously, seventeen
- 3:24Speaker 3: quarterback hits twenty five pressures to go with seven sacks.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I would put the pads on too, Jpig, I mean that.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Feels like the formula though.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Moving ahead, I mean defenses, yeah, are going to clog
- 3:35Speaker 4: up the run game and force sixteen to beat them.
- 3:38Speaker 3: That's it. And the storyline this week has been how
- 3:40Speaker 3: do you get Travis Hunter involved? I don't draw up plays.
- 3:44Speaker 3: I'm not the strategist, but I know that if you
- 3:46Speaker 3: want to get him going, sixteen going, you've got to
- 3:49Speaker 3: get twelve going so that seven can get going and
- 3:52Speaker 3: then somewhere along the way five right Diami Brown. You know,
- 3:56Speaker 3: one year, ten million dollars brought in to provide some
- 3:58Speaker 3: big plays. The same game just hasn't found its rhythm,
- 4:02Speaker 3: and the storyline this week has been when will we
- 4:05Speaker 3: see Trevor pardon me, Travis, Trevor, Travis, Trevor throwing to Travis.
- 4:10Speaker 4: I got it, Travis Hunter, not Travis etn Wow, Travis
- 4:14Speaker 4: confused me even more right. It is Travis and Trevor
- 4:17Speaker 4: and Travis and if they do connect and backs off
- 4:20Speaker 4: the defense and here comes Etn again, who's had a
- 4:22Speaker 4: history here in London of some big games.
- 4:24Speaker 3: You just kind of get the sense that it's I
- 4:25Speaker 3: don't know the game, but if you could just get
- 4:28Speaker 3: a couple of things lined up that you would all
- 4:31Speaker 3: of a sudden have an offense that's capable of making
- 4:34Speaker 3: the defense retreat a little bit. And you and I
- 4:39Speaker 3: were talking about this, Liam Cohen said early on in
- 4:41Speaker 3: training camp. It was about week four, week five last
- 4:44Speaker 3: year in Tampa that everything started to click. We're a
- 4:48Speaker 3: little bit behind that curve perhaps, but hopefully this is
- 4:50Speaker 3: a week in which the Jaguars start to see some
- 4:52Speaker 3: things work their way.
- 4:53Speaker 4: And on the defensive side, you know what they they
- 4:57Speaker 4: did enough last week. I mean they gave up a
- 4:59Speaker 4: few big plays, but they got off the field when
- 5:01Speaker 4: they needed too late in the game and gave this
- 5:04Speaker 4: offense an opportunity down eight with the football in their hands.
- 5:07Speaker 4: They did it three different times late in the game,
- 5:09Speaker 4: so they didn't get a takeaway. And they're missing Devin
- 5:12Speaker 4: Lloyd and Treylon Walker's got one hand right now. So
- 5:15Speaker 4: tough to play the game with one hands. Tough, but
- 5:17Speaker 4: they're doing enough defensively. It feels like, you know, somebody, well.
- 5:20Speaker 3: I had somebody point out the fact jp that they
- 5:22Speaker 3: are thirtieth in defense, but that only accounts for yards.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Right In the last two weeks, they've played two really
- 5:28Speaker 3: good offenses that have been able to take some shots
- 5:31Speaker 3: down the field. But when you look at red zone defense,
- 5:33Speaker 3: I believe Dave Decantis told me earlier today we were
- 5:36Speaker 3: talking about it, that they were eighth in run red
- 5:39Speaker 3: zone defense. So there's some things that they're doing well.
- 5:42Speaker 3: They lead the league in takeaways, led the league in
- 5:45Speaker 3: interceptions for the first five weeks. They're doing some things
- 5:48Speaker 3: well enough to win. Come without Devin Lloyd Hurtz. Yeah,
- 5:54Speaker 3: I mean he's a playmaker. He should five takeaways, the
- 5:56Speaker 3: most in the league right now. Not having that, And
- 5:58Speaker 3: I asked Jeff Loghman in the other day on the
- 6:00Speaker 3: practice field, just how well is he playing? He said,
- 6:03Speaker 3: really well, he's playing really well. So not having that.
- 6:07Speaker 3: I like vent Treil Miller a lot, but he isn't
- 6:10Speaker 3: that intercept, force, fumble, fumble recovery kind of guy.
- 6:14Speaker 4: And to the yardage thing thirtieth in the league. I
- 6:16Speaker 4: mean that they've given up some big plays, but when
- 6:19Speaker 4: you play a lot of zone, it's gonna be holes
- 6:21Speaker 4: in zones and you're gonna give up some yards. Well, listen,
- 6:24Speaker 4: you're also going to face the quarterback and get takeaway.
- 6:26Speaker 3: And you better be good in the red zone if
- 6:27Speaker 3: you're going to play that zone defense, because you're going
- 6:30Speaker 3: to let teams move up and down the field on you.
- 6:32Speaker 3: And as we just said, they're ranked in the top
- 6:34Speaker 3: ten in red zone and they haven't been around here
- 6:36Speaker 3: for quite a while. They've struggled in the red zone
- 6:38Speaker 3: on both sides of the ball.
- 6:38Speaker 4: And of course Liam Cohen this week still trying to
- 6:41Speaker 4: figure out the pre snap issues on the offensive.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Side full start shifts.
- 6:46Speaker 4: They lined up twice off three illegal formation, twice in
- 6:50Speaker 4: the right tackle and then Travis Hunter lines up on
- 6:54Speaker 4: an offensive off side last week alone, So they're still
- 6:57Speaker 4: working on that cleaning some of those mental issues up.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Had somebody asked me the other day, shouldn't they just
- 7:02Speaker 3: make that simple? Shouldn't they just do away with something?
- 7:04Speaker 3: But that's not the tree that we're talking about. Right
- 7:06Speaker 3: when you come from the Shanahan McVeagh tree. There's all
- 7:10Speaker 3: sorts of motions and personnel groupings. It's meant to be complex,
- 7:14Speaker 3: it's meant to make a defense. Think no, don't wish
- 7:19Speaker 3: it was simpler, wish you were better. And that's the key.
- 7:22Speaker 3: He is trying to get his team better at doing
- 7:24Speaker 3: the things that he does because it's this offense that
- 7:27Speaker 3: shod Con wanted, that Tony Boselli wanted when they brought
- 7:31Speaker 3: in Liam Cohen. Don't run away from it.
- 7:34Speaker 4: PRI Productions, the official event production company of the Jags,
- 7:37Speaker 4: has everything you need to bring your next idea to life.
- 7:40Speaker 4: Visit PR Productions dot com. It is Jaguars Happy Hour
- 7:44Speaker 4: ten to XL ninety two point five FM JP Shadrick
- 7:47Speaker 4: with Brian Sexton from London. Let's get into this matchup
- 7:50Speaker 4: and speaking of an offense that this Jags group wants
- 7:53Speaker 4: to be, it's probably kind of like the Rams offense.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Rams may or may not have Pukinakua. He did not
- 8:00Speaker 4: practice on the report on Wednesday there in Baltimore this
- 8:04Speaker 4: week and then coming over Friday night. Nikoua is the
- 8:07Speaker 4: top receiver in the game right.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Now six and twenty six yards receiving.
- 8:11Speaker 4: And if He's kind of the guy that really gets
- 8:13Speaker 4: things going for them offensively pre snap motions. What we
- 8:16Speaker 4: just talked about with the Jaguars, all this stuff at
- 8:19Speaker 4: the line. They've got a veteran quarterback of course in Stafford,
- 8:21Speaker 4: to pull the trigger on it. But if Nakua is
- 8:23Speaker 4: not there, they still have DeVante Adams and they've got
- 8:26Speaker 4: a running back you can play in the past game
- 8:28Speaker 4: and run game two.
- 8:29Speaker 3: And Kup is such a difficult guy to match up with.
- 8:31Speaker 3: You know, he's a little bit taller, he's got some length,
- 8:33Speaker 3: he's got some speed, he's got some strength. He's a
- 8:36Speaker 3: terrific receiver. And am I right? He was a fifth
- 8:38Speaker 3: round draft choice? Yeah, he was like a fifth round
- 8:40Speaker 3: draft choice. Here's the DeVante Adams number right. One hundred
- 8:43Speaker 3: and ninety eight yards and two fourth quarter touchdowns last
- 8:45Speaker 3: year when he was with the Jets, and he keeped
- 8:49Speaker 3: the Jets win in December in Jacksonville. You have some
- 8:53Speaker 3: concern there. You hope Greg Newsome is more ready to
- 8:57Speaker 3: go after a week with his team. Jaggars have given
- 9:01Speaker 3: up big chunks of yards to really good receivers this year.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Nico Collins had a big day obviously, one hundred and
- 9:07Speaker 3: four yards in the fourth quarter touchdowns. J said last week,
- 9:10Speaker 3: and don't forget Jamar Chase had fourteen catches for one
- 9:12Speaker 3: hundred and sixty five yards in the touchdown and Adams
- 9:15Speaker 3: is perfectly capable of playing to that level. So you've
- 9:19Speaker 3: got to figure out and you play zone. You got
- 9:22Speaker 3: to figure out how to take DeVante Adams and at
- 9:25Speaker 3: least keep everything in front of you.
- 9:26Speaker 4: We'll seift to two at well Is back this week
- 9:28Speaker 4: as well. That was trending the right way for the Rams,
- 9:31Speaker 4: at least early in the week. We'll see how the
- 9:32Speaker 4: rest of the week holds up for that. A little
- 9:34Speaker 4: deeper on the DeVante Adams though, it wasn't just last
- 9:37Speaker 4: time out. Two times ago when he was with Vegas,
- 9:40Speaker 4: he put up a huge game as four touchdowns. So
- 9:43Speaker 4: he's had over three hundred yards against the Jags the
- 9:45Speaker 4: last two times out and in four total games two
- 9:48Speaker 4: his Green Bay he has six touchdowns against this team.
- 9:51Speaker 4: So he scored it every single game against the Jags
- 9:54Speaker 4: in his career.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Yeah, and now you're talking about getting Matthew Stafford right
- 9:58Speaker 3: in those games he had he had Aaron Rodgers and
- 10:02Speaker 3: helped me with the quarterback in Las Vegas. I always
- 10:06Speaker 3: hear it was Derek Carr.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Oh, it was a car.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Still it was Carr, Was it Derek? Yeah, David Carr
- 10:13Speaker 3: was the first round pick of the text. I get
- 10:14Speaker 3: those two mixed up. So you've got he's got Matthew Stafford, right,
- 10:19Speaker 3: and Stafford quietly seventeen years and not really that quietly
- 10:23Speaker 3: in recent years. He's been so good in Los Angeles. Listen,
- 10:28Speaker 3: he was even pretty good for a bad Detroit team.
- 10:30Speaker 3: He put up numbers. He's a terrific quarterback. He's seen
- 10:34Speaker 3: everything in seventeen seasons. He understands. He and McVeigh understand
- 10:39Speaker 3: exactly what they want to achieve on any given play.
- 10:44Speaker 3: I remember I was standing on the practice field on
- 10:46Speaker 3: Friday after the Niners Rams game that was on Thursday
- 10:49Speaker 3: Night football, and Liam came over by the media and
- 10:53Speaker 3: was just raving about what the person he called the
- 10:56Speaker 3: og right, the original gangster quarterback. He just loves the
- 11:00Speaker 3: way that Matthew Stafford plays, and he talked about how
- 11:03Speaker 3: he diagnoses a defense. You know, how he gets the
- 11:06Speaker 3: protections fixed so quickly. This is a great quarterback with
- 11:09Speaker 3: a great receiver. Ouch. That means that the Jaguars defense,
- 11:13Speaker 3: which has not been immune to the combination of great
- 11:17Speaker 3: and great this year. He's going to have to figure
- 11:19Speaker 3: some things out.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Stafford.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Since twenty twenty one against past defenses that are ranked
- 11:24Speaker 4: in the bottom five of the league, and the Jaguars
- 11:27Speaker 4: are ready, he's the thirtieth. He's eleven and zero in
- 11:30Speaker 4: those games. That does not bode well. You know, twenty
- 11:32Speaker 4: one touchdowns, eight picks, one oh four rating. So he's
- 11:37Speaker 4: looking at chops against defenses like this, give up yardage.
- 11:41Speaker 3: You got to find a way to move his feet
- 11:42Speaker 3: a little bit. The video that we're watching here shows
- 11:45Speaker 3: a guy who even in his seventeen season, can move
- 11:48Speaker 3: a bit and makes some things happen. But you got
- 11:50Speaker 3: to get a pick, you've got to get a sack, fumble.
- 11:53Speaker 3: You got to shake him up and make him uncomfortable.
- 11:56Speaker 3: And they didn't do that at all last week. To
- 11:58Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, how comfortable you feel if you're Anthony Campaneli
- 12:02Speaker 3: about sending pressure. But you may have to do that
- 12:05Speaker 3: more than you'd like to do.
- 12:06Speaker 4: Yeah, they haven't been able to get home with four lately,
- 12:08Speaker 4: especially with the injury to Walker and heinz Allen's just
- 12:11Speaker 4: kind of a half step behind on some of these men.
- 12:14Speaker 3: They always seem to send the tight end the h
- 12:16Speaker 3: back over there, find forty one because ninety you know,
- 12:19Speaker 3: Emmanuel Ogbud it doesn't appear to have that juice to
- 12:22Speaker 3: be able to cause pressure. They've been able to neutralize Smoot.
- 12:26Speaker 3: You know, maybe this is a week that Danny Strigau
- 12:28Speaker 3: is up, the young man from Minnesota, not saying that
- 12:30Speaker 3: he's going to change the dynamic, but perhaps he gives
- 12:33Speaker 3: you a little bit more explosiveness. You know, at least
- 12:37Speaker 3: you're giving an opportunity for Josh heinz Allen to get
- 12:41Speaker 3: off the field, get a blow so that he can
- 12:43Speaker 3: get back in and have some energy about him.
- 12:45Speaker 2: We've got plenty ahead.
- 12:46Speaker 4: We'll come back and flip it around and look at
- 12:48Speaker 4: the Rams defense and how the Jags match up in
- 12:51Speaker 4: that assignment this week, especially in the offensive line for
- 12:54Speaker 4: the Jaguars against these pass rushers, and of course coming
- 12:57Speaker 4: up at five o'clock at JAG's HQ on James Stone
- 13:00Speaker 4: and Tony Boselli. Here in the library of this manor
- 13:04Speaker 4: house at the Grove Spectacle. I don't think we're going
- 13:07Speaker 4: to crack any books though.
- 13:10Speaker 3: All of them look older than you, they might be.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Some of them might be.
- 13:13Speaker 4: In fact, we're on ten to Nexcel ninety two point
- 13:16Speaker 4: five FM, Jaguars Dot Common, Jaguars YouTube and this is
- 13:19Speaker 4: Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 13:26Speaker 3: You know, you can't take one game and freak out and.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Let it let you lose sight of kind of the
- 13:32Speaker 5: progress you've made and the things that you have done well.
- 13:34Speaker 5: And you just got to get back to some of
- 13:35Speaker 5: the basics, some of the fundamentals. Just do the little
- 13:38Speaker 5: things well. We got to clean up the penalties, like
- 13:39Speaker 5: we've talked about. That's something that we can control. I
- 13:41Speaker 5: think if we start there, there'll be huge improvement. So
- 13:45Speaker 5: then beyond that there's little things that we can find tune.
- 13:47Speaker 5: But that's the starting point for us.
- 13:51Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars quarterback, yesterday here at the Grove northwest
- 13:55Speaker 4: of London. Welcome back. It is Jaguars Happy Hour. JP Shadwick,
- 13:59Speaker 4: Brian Sex in for Jeff Logoman who is on assignment today.
- 14:02Speaker 4: We kai Stevens and John Osier coming up shortly.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Is well, I still want to know what pub on
- 14:07Speaker 3: assignment really mean.
- 14:08Speaker 4: Right right, we were on assignment. I was on a
- 14:10Speaker 4: signent with him last night, and there may have been.
- 14:12Speaker 2: One or two.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Listen, and he's on assignment and he happens to have
- 14:15Speaker 3: a company credit card, someone's expense report is going to
- 14:18Speaker 3: get rejected, right. I mean the man knows how to
- 14:21Speaker 3: have an enjoyable evening with food. Absolutely, yep, certainly does
- 14:27Speaker 3: a good wine list. Glad you're with us today, Glad
- 14:29Speaker 3: to be here.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Brian Saxson with us. So yeah, back to basis.
- 14:32Speaker 4: They better get back to basics against this Rams defense
- 14:35Speaker 4: that can get after the passer Byron Young, Jared Verse.
- 14:40Speaker 4: They have nineteen sacks total as a team. It's tied
- 14:43Speaker 4: for fourthmost in the National Football League. They get pressure
- 14:46Speaker 4: on the quarterback seventh in the league, and quarterback pressure percentage,
- 14:51Speaker 4: it's consistent.
- 14:52Speaker 3: It's a three to four look and here come the Rams.
- 14:54Speaker 3: Well it listen, don't forget the guys up front. Bradon
- 14:57Speaker 3: fizkclast year as a rookie had eight and a half sacks.
- 15:00Speaker 3: By Turner had nine two years ago in eight last year.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Hasn't had as many this year, but they get pressure
- 15:06Speaker 3: from everybody who puts their hand on the ground up front.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I think this is a better front than the Jaguars
- 15:12Speaker 3: saw nothing against Seattle, but you got a couple of
- 15:14Speaker 3: young pass rushing ends that create all sorts of havoc
- 15:18Speaker 3: and an offensive line that we talked about earlier playing
- 15:22Speaker 3: a step backwards last week, trying to regroup. Has got
- 15:27Speaker 3: to figure it out this week.
- 15:28Speaker 4: Quinton Lake on the back end seven passes defense this year,
- 15:31Speaker 4: tied for the fifth most in the league. He had
- 15:33Speaker 4: an interception last week in Baltimore, and then they brought
- 15:36Speaker 4: it an eight lamban to play linebacker. And he had
- 15:39Speaker 4: seventeen tackles last week, the most by a Rams player
- 15:42Speaker 4: since at least ninety four. So he's rolling right now
- 15:46Speaker 4: fourth in the league in tackles.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Listen, this whole team, it doesn't matter. They just seem
- 15:52Speaker 3: to replace guys, right, I mean, they just seem to
- 15:54Speaker 3: go and find guys. You thought, when Aaron retired, how
- 15:57Speaker 3: are you going to replace this guy? And yet they've
- 15:59Speaker 3: done it. They they are a very well coached football team.
- 16:05Speaker 3: You see it in everything that they do, and it
- 16:09Speaker 3: is it's a bigger challenge, I think than last week. Again, see,
- 16:12Speaker 3: I'm not the one thing that you know. Derrick Henry
- 16:14Speaker 3: had a big day running the football did, so you
- 16:16Speaker 3: feel like the Jaguars should be able to go in
- 16:18Speaker 3: there and establish the run. I get it. Travis Etn
- 16:21Speaker 3: is not Derrick Henry, but he's capable of big plays.
- 16:26Speaker 3: And hopefully we see Bagel Tutin, who's dealt with the
- 16:28Speaker 3: shoulder for a couple of weeks. Hopefully he's closer to
- 16:31Speaker 3: health and you can get in there and really stay
- 16:33Speaker 3: dedicated to the You better stay committed to the run
- 16:36Speaker 3: because if you don't, you're gonna find your quarterback running
- 16:39Speaker 3: for his life again.
- 16:40Speaker 4: Robert Hainsey, Jaguars center, was out there bouncing around the
- 16:43Speaker 4: day on the practice field. Good news, good sign. He
- 16:45Speaker 4: was limited in the walk through on Wednesday, but I
- 16:49Speaker 4: don't know his official designation on Thursday yet. But if
- 16:52Speaker 4: he's back, not that Monheim played poorly, but Hainsey's been
- 16:57Speaker 4: around the block.
- 16:57Speaker 2: He's seen in this group, He's seen things.
- 16:59Speaker 4: He has the calls down and it just kind of
- 17:02Speaker 4: settles everything.
- 17:03Speaker 2: If he's in there, he.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Probably calms the entire situation down last week a little bit.
- 17:08Speaker 3: There's not a lot that Monheim can do in that sense,
- 17:10Speaker 3: and when you think about the personalities on that line,
- 17:14Speaker 3: none of them are a dominant leader personality like Rob
- 17:17Speaker 3: Haynes he is. I mean, you could just talking to
- 17:18Speaker 3: him in the locker room. You can just see how
- 17:20Speaker 3: he would be in the huddle. Not having your starting
- 17:22Speaker 3: center is a big deal, even if Monheim is a
- 17:26Speaker 3: better than average rookie. To have him out there identifying
- 17:30Speaker 3: where the pressure is coming from, who the mic linebacker is,
- 17:33Speaker 3: how they're going to set up their protection schemes will
- 17:35Speaker 3: give you a better chance against a potent rams front.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Tackles under the microscope this week we talked about the
- 17:40Speaker 4: drushers certainly, but Anton Harrison lined up behind the center
- 17:45Speaker 4: twice and Walker Little got thrown around by a linebacker.
- 17:48Speaker 2: In one instance through the air.
- 17:50Speaker 4: So you got to work on those two this week,
- 17:52Speaker 4: especially against Young and Verse.
- 17:54Speaker 3: The mistakes thing, you just can't. You can't have them
- 17:57Speaker 3: this week. You can't have the holding penalties, you can't
- 18:00Speaker 3: have the jumping off sides penalty. You can't because well,
- 18:03Speaker 3: let's put it this way. The Jaguars beat the Chiefs
- 18:05Speaker 3: with four penalties, and remember the Chiefs had thirteen Do
- 18:08Speaker 3: you know how many of the Chiefs had against the
- 18:10Speaker 3: Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football? Zero right, zero, They
- 18:12Speaker 3: went from thirteen to zero. So my pitch, guys, right
- 18:17Speaker 3: is go from ten to four? Can you go? If
- 18:21Speaker 3: you can go from ten to four, you give yourself
- 18:23Speaker 3: a chance to not get that penalty that makes it
- 18:26Speaker 3: second and fifteen, right, or even worse, second and twenty.
- 18:30Speaker 3: You give yourself an opportunity to stay within the game
- 18:32Speaker 3: plan and you don't have the quarterback having to carry
- 18:35Speaker 3: it all on his shoulders. Running the ball takes the
- 18:37Speaker 3: pressure off of him, and you've got to have that
- 18:39Speaker 3: on something now.
- 18:40Speaker 4: The big, a big piece of this lack of run
- 18:43Speaker 4: game lately has been the loss of Brenton Strange tight end,
- 18:47Speaker 4: who's at least two more weeks down with the hip injury.
- 18:51Speaker 2: And then Quinton Morris tight end didn't even make the trip.
- 18:54Speaker 4: So it's up to the two veteran tight ends, both
- 18:56Speaker 4: are former Rams, by the way, going against their teams
- 19:00Speaker 4: to help.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Out in the run game.
- 19:01Speaker 3: I talked to the tight ends coach Richard and Gulo
- 19:03Speaker 3: after practice yesterday for a pregame interview, and the first
- 19:07Speaker 3: question was, you know, tell me about the loss of
- 19:08Speaker 3: Brenton and just to look on rich is not the
- 19:10Speaker 3: most outspoken guy and he'll give you a good answer,
- 19:13Speaker 3: but the look on his face said everything. I said,
- 19:15Speaker 3: I can't use that that. That's where this radio. I
- 19:19Speaker 3: need you to tell me something. And he just he
- 19:21Speaker 3: raved about Brenton and where he's at. He said, Listen,
- 19:23Speaker 3: I'm biased when I asked him about you know where
- 19:25Speaker 3: Brenton fit in the hierarchy of tight ends, he said,
- 19:28Speaker 3: but he's right there at the very top. Well, listen,
- 19:31Speaker 3: we're talking about a football team that's already playing without
- 19:34Speaker 3: one of its best defensive players in Trayvon Walker, one
- 19:37Speaker 3: of its best offensive linemen in Rob Hainsey, and now
- 19:39Speaker 3: one of its best overall players in Brenton Strange. Going
- 19:42Speaker 3: against a very good LA Rams team, You're gonna have
- 19:46Speaker 3: to figure out how Hunter Long, who had a holding
- 19:49Speaker 3: penalty last week, and John Johnny Munt, how they can
- 19:52Speaker 3: help you. What can they do or do you have
- 19:55Speaker 3: to line up in some different packages, bring adoga in
- 19:58Speaker 3: at times ye or go three wide or even four
- 20:01Speaker 3: wide and empty backfield says, how do you adjust to
- 20:04Speaker 3: be able to play without Breton Strange? And for people
- 20:07Speaker 3: who don't pay a lot of attention to eighty five blocking,
- 20:10Speaker 3: you know they know when he catches the ball. He's
- 20:11Speaker 3: got twenty receptions this year. Man, watch him when he
- 20:15Speaker 3: gets back in there, you'll know why we rave about him.
- 20:17Speaker 4: Yeah, and we'll see how long that is. It may
- 20:19Speaker 4: not be the four weeks. It could be a little
- 20:21Speaker 4: bit longer.
- 20:22Speaker 3: We'll see how the I think is what I heard
- 20:24Speaker 3: with that kind of a hip injury.
- 20:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough, but hey, hopefully back in time for
- 20:28Speaker 4: a stretch run and a playoff rount.
- 20:29Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you'd like to hopefully have him back by
- 20:31Speaker 3: the time you go to play Houston and Houston or
- 20:34Speaker 3: the Chargers are here, because you're going to need to
- 20:36Speaker 3: be able to run the ball against those two teams.
- 20:38Speaker 4: And of course, the number one storyline that nationally a
- 20:42Speaker 4: lot of people talk about this team is Travis Hunter
- 20:44Speaker 4: and snaps by week offense and defense. Last week, fifty
- 20:49Speaker 4: four on offense, twenty two on defense. You know, that's
- 20:53Speaker 4: seventy six for the game. And that's a lot not
- 20:57Speaker 4: quite as high water mark that was back in week two,
- 21:00Speaker 4: and actually in week two and three had a bunch
- 21:02Speaker 4: of snaps on both sides of the ball.
- 21:04Speaker 2: But too easy.
- 21:05Speaker 4: See, it depends on the week, It depends on the
- 21:06Speaker 4: opponent and the matchup and what they you know, could
- 21:09Speaker 4: be all hands on deck, especially if the coup is
- 21:10Speaker 4: out there.
- 21:11Speaker 3: You know, we don't talk a lot about snap count
- 21:12Speaker 3: in general. You know, we get the snap counts, but
- 21:15Speaker 3: we don't talk about it because there are a few
- 21:17Speaker 3: players like this who play so many snaps. How many
- 21:21Speaker 3: other players in the league play more than seventy snaps
- 21:25Speaker 3: in a game, let alone potentially seventy snaps in back
- 21:28Speaker 3: to back weeks, It just doesn't happen. What we're seeing
- 21:31Speaker 3: is the evolution of a transformational player, which is the
- 21:35Speaker 3: term that James Gladstone and Liam Cohen used when they
- 21:39Speaker 3: drafted him back in April. But I think there absolutely
- 21:42Speaker 3: is an evolution to it, and we may be a
- 21:44Speaker 3: little impatient because we have seen two weeks ago, the
- 21:48Speaker 3: Monday night game against Kansas City, he had the forty
- 21:50Speaker 3: four yard catch where you know, his hips were above
- 21:53Speaker 3: the shoulder pads of the defenders. But I like the
- 21:55Speaker 3: thirteen yard catch and run where he made two defenders
- 21:58Speaker 3: miss to grab a first down even more because it
- 22:01Speaker 3: showed the explosiveness, the suddenness, all the things that make
- 22:04Speaker 3: you say, yes, we'll give up next year's number one.
- 22:07Speaker 3: We'll move around, give you two so that we can
- 22:09Speaker 3: go and get this guy. But man, it is an
- 22:12Speaker 3: evolution because he might be your best cover corner. His
- 22:15Speaker 3: footwork is so impressive to watch. In fact, outside of
- 22:20Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey, I don't know that we've had a corner
- 22:23Speaker 3: that had the footwork of this guy. And his footwork
- 22:26Speaker 3: may be better than Jalen's. Jalen may have been able
- 22:29Speaker 3: to hide it because his strength at the point of
- 22:31Speaker 3: attack was so good, right, he was so big and
- 22:33Speaker 3: long he could keep it off. This guy mirrors and
- 22:36Speaker 3: shadows and does all those scouting things that you read
- 22:39Speaker 3: about when you're looking at players in the draft and
- 22:41Speaker 3: free agency process. He does it so effortlessly. He's so
- 22:44Speaker 3: good at it.
- 22:45Speaker 5: You just.
- 22:47Speaker 3: I want to see the ball in his hands too,
- 22:48Speaker 3: and they just take a little more time for them
- 22:50Speaker 3: to figure out the best way to do it.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Speaking of Ramsey, he told Fred Taylor earlier and I
- 22:53Speaker 4: think training camp when they went up for the pivot
- 22:55Speaker 4: to Pittsburgh, you know, if he played defense only, he'd
- 23:00Speaker 4: be an all pro corner.
- 23:01Speaker 2: That's what Jalen thought about.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Listen, and Jalen throws compliments around like manhole covers, right.
- 23:06Speaker 3: I mean, Jalen's favorite corner is Jalen and number two, three, four,
- 23:09Speaker 3: and five on his list are Ramsey, Jalen Ramsey and
- 23:12Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey. I mean, it's just always him. But he's
- 23:16Speaker 3: a great player and he knows great players, and so
- 23:19Speaker 3: that's that's high praise. I think, I think he's terrific
- 23:23Speaker 3: and I think you need him against DeVante Adams tomorrow.
- 23:26Speaker 3: What a Marquee matchup, I'm sorry to day, what a
- 23:29Speaker 3: market matchup that could be?
- 23:30Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean first time we get a
- 23:33Speaker 4: chance to see that. Maybe he's the answer to slow
- 23:35Speaker 4: down Davante Adams against the Jaguars because he's had success,
- 23:39Speaker 4: though they're having some issues connecting with Devanta Adams less
- 23:43Speaker 4: like forty seven percent. Yeah, targets to and of course
- 23:47Speaker 4: the Jay Wars have their own issues with connecting with
- 23:49Speaker 4: receivers right now too, he can say.
- 23:51Speaker 3: I wonder what Brian Thomas Junior thinks about all the
- 23:54Speaker 3: Travis talk, right, I wonder if maybe that doesn't spark
- 23:57Speaker 3: him to say, whoa hold on a number? Seve In
- 24:00Speaker 3: is number one around here? If it were me and
- 24:03Speaker 3: I had put up a thousand yard season like he
- 24:05Speaker 3: did last year twelve hundred yards and ten touchdowns. I
- 24:09Speaker 3: I'd be a little offended by that. I would. I
- 24:13Speaker 3: would want to know. I get it. I get him
- 24:16Speaker 3: dropped the ball last week.
- 24:17Speaker 2: I get it football six times in a season, six games.
- 24:20Speaker 3: What I'm getting at is that I hope that the
- 24:22Speaker 3: Travis talk ignite something in him that says number seven
- 24:27Speaker 3: should be number one. Hope. So, I mean, you've got
- 24:30Speaker 3: you got the potential to have two guys who could
- 24:32Speaker 3: be number one. I just I thought I found it
- 24:34Speaker 3: interesting when Liam said at his press conference, we're trying
- 24:37Speaker 3: to find ways to make him the number one option,
- 24:38Speaker 3: and I thought, I wonder what Brian thinks about that.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Hopefully this is something that gets him started.
- 24:42Speaker 2: What's left on your week here in London?
- 24:45Speaker 3: I like Friday practice. I enjoy watching them go through
- 24:50Speaker 3: the process, and so I'm looking forward tomorrow to put
- 24:55Speaker 3: the wraps on the whole thing. And you know, I've
- 24:58Speaker 3: stayed out here with the grub. I haven't been into
- 24:59Speaker 3: town yet. Saturday, Watch out London here I come.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Yeah, right o.
- 25:03Speaker 3: Listen. My favorite little spot is a place called the
- 25:05Speaker 3: Hasta down in Carnabie Square. It's a tapist place. It's
- 25:08Speaker 3: roasted meat, red wine, and this piece of flatbread that
- 25:12Speaker 3: they they hit with olive oil and garlic and they
- 25:15Speaker 3: put it in the oven. Oh watch out, better not
- 25:18Speaker 3: be in line there when I show up. Love that
- 25:20Speaker 3: I'm coming in hot.
- 25:22Speaker 4: It's funny because we've done this so much. Now when
- 25:24Speaker 4: the schedule comes out in April, yeah, we know. May
- 25:27Speaker 4: I make bookings at all these restaurants, the same ones
- 25:30Speaker 4: every single The hast people are like, whoa, that's his table, right,
- 25:33Speaker 4: He's got to be a pain in the butt unless
- 25:34Speaker 4: we get him his table exactly. So looking forward to that,
- 25:39Speaker 4: looking forward to the game on Sunday. We always fun
- 25:41Speaker 4: at Wimbley and the Jags have had some success there recently.
- 25:44Speaker 3: And I don't love the matchup. I don't. I think
- 25:46Speaker 3: the Rams are quietly one of the better teams in
- 25:50Speaker 3: the league. I think Stafford is a guy who's capable
- 25:53Speaker 3: of carving you up, and we talked all about that
- 25:55Speaker 3: defensive front. My concern is can the Jaguars go from
- 25:59Speaker 3: ten penalties too? If they can go to four penalties,
- 26:01Speaker 3: I think they'll win the ball game. And that's been
- 26:03Speaker 3: a focus right. I mean we quiz if John Oser
- 26:06Speaker 3: was quizzing the coach about it yesterday in his news conference,
- 26:08Speaker 3: you know, how do you do that? And I thought
- 26:10Speaker 3: he gave him good answers. They've got to find a
- 26:13Speaker 3: way to go from ten to four. If you go
- 26:15Speaker 3: from ten to four, you win.
- 26:16Speaker 2: And let me tell you, when John Osher gets on
- 26:18Speaker 2: you look out. He does not back.
- 26:21Speaker 3: He's like a dog with a bone you're saying. I
- 26:22Speaker 3: mean he's biting through that thing.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Put it on top of the refrigerator. Get it out
- 26:25Speaker 4: of his mouth because he will not let it go.
- 26:27Speaker 3: I say that because I know he's coming in here next.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Absolutely, Brian and Joy appreciate it.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on.
- 26:31Speaker 4: Brian Sexson joining us here on the Jaguars Happy Hour
- 26:34Speaker 4: coming up, Kyle Stevens, John Oser will step in and
- 26:37Speaker 4: from the backyard to the beaches.
- 26:38Speaker 2: The Ford f one P fifty with.
- 26:40Speaker 4: Available pro power on board gives you the power of
- 26:43Speaker 4: a mobile generator.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Ford proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 26:47Speaker 4: See your local Ford dealer today from London. This is
- 26:51Speaker 4: Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 27:03Speaker 6: I don't trust those eyes now, don't trust his eyes.
- 27:06Speaker 6: But we've talked to it's his full command of the
- 27:09Speaker 6: operation that ultimately we have to be great with our disguises,
- 27:13Speaker 6: we have to be great with our spot drop coverages.
- 27:16Speaker 6: We've got to try to affect the pocket obviously in
- 27:19Speaker 6: a lot of ways. But he has such a great
- 27:22Speaker 6: way of dissecting pre snap and then operating post snap.
- 27:32Speaker 4: Hey coach Liam Cohen yesterday at the Grove discussing Matthew Stafford,
- 27:36Speaker 4: the quarterback for the La Rams, and welcome back. It
- 27:39Speaker 4: is Jaguars Happy Hour. The Houndai studio is on the
- 27:41Speaker 4: road this week, actually across the Pond this week. We're
- 27:44Speaker 4: outside of London at the Grove, the team headquarters throughout
- 27:47Speaker 4: the week northwest of the city and the Jaguars and
- 27:51Speaker 4: the Rams coming up at Wimbley this Sunday, the eleventh
- 27:54Speaker 4: Jags game at Wimbley, fourteenth all time in London coming up.
- 27:58Speaker 4: Jeff Logman on assignment today. Our thanks to Brian Sexson,
- 28:01Speaker 4: John Oser and Kay Nannie Stevens.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Sit in now.
- 28:05Speaker 7: Are we all kind of a sign?
- 28:07Speaker 8: We are all over a sign. I gotta sign this.
- 28:09Speaker 8: It wouldn't be here voluntarily at the country house.
- 28:12Speaker 4: Welcome glad you're all here and here we are back
- 28:16Speaker 4: in London again, a place that the Jaguars organization knows well,
- 28:20Speaker 4: and the operation of everything here at the hotel is
- 28:24Speaker 4: smooth as can be.
- 28:24Speaker 2: I mean you did a little tour of the place
- 28:26Speaker 2: the other day, did you did?
- 28:28Speaker 9: We walked around. JP of course knows all the fun facts,
- 28:30Speaker 9: but just looking around the property, it's pretty cool. And
- 28:34Speaker 9: for those that don't know, it's about forty five minutes
- 28:36Speaker 9: an hour north of the city, so it is isolated
- 28:38Speaker 9: in itself for the players. This week they practice her
- 28:41Speaker 9: Ether meals here pretty much here the whole time. They
- 28:43Speaker 9: have a little time away, but it is training camp
- 28:46Speaker 9: esque in that way because they're all in a hotel
- 28:48Speaker 9: together pretty much twenty four to seven.
- 28:50Speaker 8: I want to meet the guy who can tell me
- 28:53Speaker 8: the real stories that they grow because you know, there's
- 28:55Speaker 8: some bodies buried here.
- 28:56Speaker 7: Oh right, this is.
- 28:58Speaker 8: I mean it's a cool old you know, deep English
- 29:04Speaker 8: manner if you will.
- 29:05Speaker 7: So it's a cool place. I always enjoyed.
- 29:07Speaker 4: Yeah, original building that we're in part of it was
- 29:09Speaker 4: built in the late seventeen hundreds, and of course they've
- 29:11Speaker 4: added on wings new parts of the hotel. They've got
- 29:15Speaker 4: the golf course here is incredible. They had a World
- 29:18Speaker 4: Golf Championship event here in two thousand and six Tiger
- 29:20Speaker 4: Woods one, and then like G twenty summits and NATO's
- 29:24Speaker 4: summits here.
- 29:25Speaker 9: This is You're missing. The most critical important point is
- 29:29Speaker 9: they have the best chocolate chip cookies that I've had
- 29:31Speaker 9: in quite some time.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Wait till it's s'mores night. Because they put the.
- 29:35Speaker 9: Campfire, they had a whole fire goulling.
- 29:36Speaker 7: Yes, it's a foods outstand.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Really, they do a great job here.
- 29:40Speaker 4: So the Jaguars trying to do a better job on
- 29:42Speaker 4: the field this week, you know, and they've got a
- 29:45Speaker 4: match up John against this Rams defense and pass rushers.
- 29:49Speaker 4: You know, the Seahawks are going to be pretty good.
- 29:51Speaker 4: And when they were they had seven sacks and a
- 29:52Speaker 4: bunch of pressures and hits on Trevor. These guys are elite,
- 29:57Speaker 4: an elite duo on the outside at the linebackers.
- 30:00Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a great pass rushing team. I don't want
- 30:03Speaker 8: to sell Seattle short. I heard Brian say earlier that,
- 30:08Speaker 8: you know, he thought the Rams were much better lined
- 30:10Speaker 8: than I think. It's pretty similar with different strengths. This
- 30:14Speaker 8: is a team that I think they knew going in
- 30:18Speaker 8: last week that running was going to be you know,
- 30:22Speaker 8: they stuck with it at times because you have to,
- 30:25Speaker 8: but lesser coaches would have abandoned the run early because
- 30:29Speaker 8: it's hard to run in Seattle. I think you can
- 30:32Speaker 8: get a little more on the rams, or I think
- 30:35Speaker 8: they'll believe that. I think that's key because the fact
- 30:39Speaker 8: that they couldn't run at all against Seattle set up
- 30:43Speaker 8: so many bad down in distances, and by extension, the
- 30:48Speaker 8: penalties set up even more bad down in distances. So
- 30:52Speaker 8: Kai without Brendon Strange, We've talked about it all week.
- 30:54Speaker 8: Breton Strange not being there makes it harder to run.
- 30:57Speaker 8: That makes it harder to throw because you're in these
- 30:59Speaker 8: down in distances. You cannot have the penalties, and I
- 31:03Speaker 8: think seven penalties last week took the offense back to
- 31:07Speaker 8: over ten yards to go.
- 31:10Speaker 9: You're making it really hard.
- 31:11Speaker 7: You ain't gonna win in the NFL.
- 31:12Speaker 9: Welcome backwards and John, you mentioned Brenton Strange. I feel
- 31:15Speaker 9: like he's such a big part of this and a
- 31:18Speaker 9: lot of it maybe goes unnoticed until he's not out there.
- 31:21Speaker 9: And a good point you mentioned with the running game
- 31:23Speaker 9: the first what for four weeks they were amazing and
- 31:26Speaker 9: then not as good recently. And we've seen what the
- 31:29Speaker 9: pass protection looks like when Trevor's forced to throw in
- 31:32Speaker 9: those long down and distant situations. And this is not
- 31:35Speaker 9: a team you want to be working on the offensive
- 31:37Speaker 9: line against. I think, unfortunately, it's gonna be a little
- 31:40Speaker 9: trial by fire this week. Whether Robert Hainsey's back or not,
- 31:43Speaker 9: it's gonna need to be a collective effort that we
- 31:46Speaker 9: didn't see against the Seahawks.
- 31:48Speaker 8: Yeah, with apologies to Devin Lloyd, it feels like it.
- 31:52Speaker 8: You know, this is sort of tied in with the
- 31:54Speaker 8: run and sort of tied into how they're a little
- 31:57Speaker 8: different now than they were a couple weeks ago. What's
- 32:01Speaker 8: the identity this team? Want to be physical? I would
- 32:05Speaker 8: argue the two most physical players they have are Trayvon
- 32:07Speaker 8: and Breton Strange. So how to make up for Trayvon
- 32:12Speaker 8: being a little limited in Brenton not being in there
- 32:14Speaker 8: and still be who you want to be? Yeah, I
- 32:17Speaker 8: think it's been a challenge, and I think, you know,
- 32:20Speaker 8: with Trayvon still only playing with one hand, that's their
- 32:23Speaker 8: challenge this week.
- 32:24Speaker 7: I think you'll feel healthy after the bye, But this week?
- 32:27Speaker 8: Can you be what they expect to be with those
- 32:30Speaker 8: two guys not you know, one not in and one
- 32:33Speaker 8: not where he normally is.
- 32:36Speaker 4: Time now for the Jaguars defensive coverage of the game,
- 32:39Speaker 4: presented by g EH A Government Employees Health Association benefits
- 32:44Speaker 4: for federal employees and retirees, and we take a closer
- 32:47Speaker 4: look at the great Matthew Stafford, now ninth on the
- 32:50Speaker 4: old time NFL passing yardage list, surpassed Dan Marino last.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Week to move into ninth.
- 32:56Speaker 4: Of course, the first overall pick back in two thousand
- 32:58Speaker 4: and nine by the Detroit line in seventeen years now
- 33:02Speaker 4: in the National Football League, one of ten players now
- 33:05Speaker 4: over sixty thousand yards in his career, and he's undefeated
- 33:09Speaker 4: against the Jaguars four to zero in his career, four touchdowns,
- 33:13Speaker 4: one interception. And Stafford is the guy that triggers this
- 33:16Speaker 4: whole thing and one of the elite guys still in
- 33:19Speaker 4: the league.
- 33:19Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 33:19Speaker 8: I got an email from somebody this week calling him
- 33:21Speaker 8: stat Mafford, and I guess, you know, readers always think
- 33:25Speaker 8: they're clever, right, But I think that's really selling Matt
- 33:30Speaker 8: Stafford short the Rams since he got there, except for
- 33:37Speaker 8: a year where they were really beat up, have been
- 33:39Speaker 8: in the postseason and been over ten wins every year.
- 33:42Speaker 8: I don't care how good your coach is, you don't
- 33:45Speaker 8: get over ten wins every year unless you're getting quarterback
- 33:49Speaker 8: play that's consistent.
- 33:51Speaker 7: That's winning. It's not giving games away.
- 33:55Speaker 8: And JP on the Huddle Up podcast yes day, you
- 33:58Speaker 8: know what the hell of podcast I've heard?
- 34:00Speaker 4: So?
- 34:01Speaker 7: I thought Bucky Brooks.
- 34:03Speaker 8: Really analyzed Stafford well when he said he's an unselfish
- 34:08Speaker 8: quarterback in the sense that if they don't need him
- 34:11Speaker 8: to be the guy, he can step out and be
- 34:14Speaker 8: a facilitator. He needed to be the guy, he can
- 34:16Speaker 8: be the guy, and after seventeen years, I think he
- 34:19Speaker 8: can feel during a game what's needed.
- 34:23Speaker 7: It's very natural.
- 34:24Speaker 8: And kai Liam Cohen yesterday talking about him being so
- 34:28Speaker 8: good pre snap and post snap.
- 34:30Speaker 7: What else do you want?
- 34:31Speaker 9: Liam obviously working with him when he was with the Rams,
- 34:33Speaker 9: a little bit with Matthew Stafford. Just so much respect
- 34:36Speaker 9: for them and Sean McVay. But I think I mentioned
- 34:39Speaker 9: this earlier today. I'm sure, but situational football is so
- 34:42Speaker 9: huge to both McVeigh and Liam Cohen and matt Safford
- 34:45Speaker 9: has just really gotten it down at this point what's
- 34:48Speaker 9: needed to be done for that Rams organization for them
- 34:50Speaker 9: to be competitive every single year. He knows how to
- 34:53Speaker 9: play football. I think a lot of his strengths kind
- 34:54Speaker 9: of go against some of our weaknesses as well. I
- 34:56Speaker 9: mean the deep ball, I feel as depending who's out there.
- 35:00Speaker 9: Obviously Pukinakua not practicing it yet as we've seen, but
- 35:04Speaker 9: DeVante Adams scorched us last year with the Jets, so
- 35:07Speaker 9: I think their ability to get the deep ball the
- 35:09Speaker 9: big play out there that could be concerning. And then also,
- 35:12Speaker 9: as Liam said to begin the block, don't trust the
- 35:15Speaker 9: eyes because he can throw a lot of defenders off
- 35:17Speaker 9: with some no look situations and just kind of using
- 35:20Speaker 9: that to get the defense where he needs them to be.
- 35:22Speaker 9: And having that kind of ability to conduct a defense
- 35:26Speaker 9: to get what you want on offense is pretty cool.
- 35:29Speaker 8: And sometimes Hall of Famers sometimes win games tomorrow. Chase
- 35:33Speaker 8: won a game against the Jaguars earlier. I think he's
- 35:36Speaker 8: probably going to the Hall. The one guy going to
- 35:38Speaker 8: the Hall in this game is probably Stafford, so don't
- 35:42Speaker 8: sleep on it.
- 35:43Speaker 4: No, all these different arm angles, he was kind of
- 35:45Speaker 4: that first guy to just switch it up a bunch
- 35:47Speaker 4: and no look passes, and all these things are in
- 35:50Speaker 4: his arsenal. And the fortunate thing hopefully this is not
- 35:54Speaker 4: the week that he finally gets a connection going with
- 35:56Speaker 4: DeVante Adams. They've had some issues, Like the Jaguars are.
- 35:59Speaker 8: Speaking of guys, he might wear a jacket someday.
- 36:01Speaker 4: Right, he's right up there too, so and he's closing
- 36:06Speaker 4: in on surpassing of all things, Jimmy Smith on the
- 36:08Speaker 4: all time receiving list in the NFL. He could do
- 36:10Speaker 4: that in this week's game as well. But you don't
- 36:14Speaker 4: want that connection to begin this week, certainly not from
- 36:18Speaker 4: the Jaguars pass rush perspective and defensive front perspective. They
- 36:23Speaker 4: got a running back that can play both ways. The
- 36:26Speaker 4: passing game, he's big, a couple of touchdowns there, the
- 36:28Speaker 4: running game there for the Rams also, it has a
- 36:31Speaker 4: similar kind of feel that a lot of this stuff
- 36:33Speaker 4: can go through that running back. And the front seven
- 36:35Speaker 4: is big this week.
- 36:37Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it, since Trayvon's been down or not down,
- 36:42Speaker 8: but not himself who Trayvon usually is. You can feel
- 36:46Speaker 8: it in the defense, you can feel it in the front,
- 36:49Speaker 8: and I think Josh Heinz Allen has certainly felt that
- 36:52Speaker 8: by not having or by having to play against more
- 36:56Speaker 8: defense and offensive lines slant at his way. But they
- 37:00Speaker 8: got a game to play with Trayvon still with one hand,
- 37:03Speaker 8: so they have to figure out a way to get
- 37:04Speaker 8: some penetration. They'd figure out a way to get some.
- 37:07Speaker 8: You know, they've played the run fine either way, but
- 37:13Speaker 8: you have to disrupt more than they disrupted against the Seahawks.
- 37:16Speaker 9: Yeah, I think Sam Darnold had a lot of time
- 37:17Speaker 9: to throw the football. That certainly did not help out
- 37:20Speaker 9: the secondary. Who you know, adding in a new player,
- 37:22Speaker 9: Greg newso'm kind of switching some things around when we
- 37:24Speaker 9: trade Tyson Campbell middle of the season here or the
- 37:27Speaker 9: beginning of the season here. So there's things that they
- 37:30Speaker 9: need to work on. We've seen a ton of success
- 37:32Speaker 9: with them taking the football away. Getting back to that
- 37:34Speaker 9: is always nice, giving the offense some extra possessions. But
- 37:37Speaker 9: the first game of the season last week, they didn't
- 37:39Speaker 9: have a takeaway and we saw maybe some flaws that
- 37:42Speaker 9: maybe had been overlooked a little bit because the takeaways
- 37:44Speaker 9: were so high.
- 37:45Speaker 8: Yeah, Liam is outstanding on the podium obviously. I think
- 37:49Speaker 8: most fans have since that and he breaks down complex
- 37:54Speaker 8: things very well. On Monday, he broke down I think
- 37:57Speaker 8: it's not very complex when he said the Ram I
- 37:59Speaker 8: mean the Seahawks pressure the quarterback and the Jaguars didn't.
- 38:04Speaker 8: Soti as he comes down to that, if your quarterback's
- 38:06Speaker 8: under dress the other guy's not, you're not going to
- 38:08Speaker 8: win very many games.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Let's come back in a moment. We'll take a look
- 38:11Speaker 4: at the injury for at least Wednesdays. The Thursday one
- 38:13Speaker 4: comes out late night tonight, since the Jags are in
- 38:16Speaker 4: the UK and the.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Rams are in Baltimore this week.

- 38:49Speaker 4: the Rams. The Jaguars. The Jags seven and six all
- 38:53Speaker 4: time in London, five and five at Wembley, the Rams

- 39:00Speaker 4: Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shadwick Kai Stevens. John Oser sitting
- 39:03Speaker 4: in with us. Coming up at five o'clock. It's Jaggs
- 39:06Speaker 4: HQ on the Jaguars Radio network. Tony Basselli and James
- 39:09Speaker 4: Gladstone scheduled to join us. So here it is Rams,
- 39:14Speaker 4: Jags and Hey a win in this game. Five and
- 39:18Speaker 4: two record going into the bye week. I don't know
- 39:20Speaker 4: many coming into the season that would have picked that
- 39:24Speaker 4: kind of a record going into this by considering the
- 39:27Speaker 4: record that or the record of the teams from last
- 39:31Speaker 4: year that were on the schedule and the that's what
- 39:34Speaker 4: that's why the preseason picks are so strange. Sometimes you
- 39:37Speaker 4: got to go play the football games.
- 39:38Speaker 9: Kai, absolutely, and when you look at strength of schedule
- 39:41Speaker 9: like that, this little murderer's row was kind of the
- 39:44Speaker 9: tough part of the season. It was I think John,
- 39:46Speaker 9: we were saying, you get through four and three, three
- 39:48Speaker 9: and four, you feel good about it. Now you've an
- 39:50Speaker 9: opportunity to be five and two.
- 39:52Speaker 8: Yeah, I think, especially with the guys that they have
- 39:55Speaker 8: out right now, if you can get to the buy.
- 39:58Speaker 8: Is no guarantee that all one hundred percent coming out
- 40:00Speaker 8: of the buy and strange might not be, but you're
- 40:03Speaker 8: closer to getting back to that and you can at
- 40:05Speaker 8: least get a little healthier. Getting through the Texans Niners
- 40:11Speaker 8: in Chiefs stretch.
- 40:14Speaker 7: Was really big.
- 40:15Speaker 8: I figured they lose two or three though, I mean no,
- 40:16Speaker 8: two of three of those coming in. So to get
- 40:21Speaker 8: there and now have a chance with a loss, you're
- 40:25Speaker 8: still four and three and still in great shape. Coming
- 40:27Speaker 8: out with a win, you feel like your odds are
- 40:31Speaker 8: making the postseason. I know we're way ahead of ourselves,
- 40:34Speaker 8: but five and two the way this team fights, the
- 40:37Speaker 8: way it believes. Usually teams that collapse or give it
- 40:40Speaker 8: away down the stretch to either get really injured.
- 40:43Speaker 7: Or they give up on the direction.
- 40:45Speaker 8: I don't sense at all this team is going to
- 40:47Speaker 8: give up on the fight that they see in the
- 40:48Speaker 8: second half, the way they believe in it. So five
- 40:52Speaker 8: and two gets you in a situation where something could
- 40:55Speaker 8: be special.
- 40:55Speaker 3: This year.
- 40:56Speaker 4: We've seen the collapse firsthand. Remember twenty twenty three. I
- 40:58Speaker 4: mean they were and there were eight and three and
- 41:01Speaker 4: then all.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Hell broke clues Moving on GP.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's in the past review. That's the review.
- 41:06Speaker 2: We're looking forward.
- 41:06Speaker 7: We've seen some stuff.
- 41:07Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of things here in London as well.
- 41:11Speaker 2: What's the rest of the weekend. What have we got?
- 41:13Speaker 9: Well, I know JP's got events galore. I'm sure you're
- 41:16Speaker 9: a very busy guy.
- 41:17Speaker 4: Tonight, of all things, Jaguars Trivia at the Jags Club
- 41:21Speaker 4: in Victoria.
- 41:22Speaker 9: Have you been studying?
- 41:23Speaker 2: Well, I'm hosting it, so I know all the answers.
- 41:28Speaker 2: I read them off a sheet.
- 41:30Speaker 7: Way to pass the test, right exactly.
- 41:32Speaker 2: That's tonight.
- 41:33Speaker 4: Then there's the big pub party on Saturday with Maurice Jones.
- 41:37Speaker 2: Drew and Fred Taylor.
- 41:38Speaker 9: That's the one to bet.
- 41:39Speaker 2: That it's going to be a packed house and.
- 41:41Speaker 7: The party could run the ball.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Yeah about it, No doubt about it with those two.
- 41:49Speaker 4: And then I think JAG's owner side con scheduled to
- 41:51Speaker 4: speak to some media on Saturday. We'll have that and
- 41:54Speaker 4: run it on pregame on Sunday. Very good, which is
- 41:57Speaker 4: always a treat here in London to get his thoughts
- 41:59Speaker 4: and curious how the next few years here will be
- 42:02Speaker 4: because of the stadium situation in Jacksonville, the construction, and
- 42:06Speaker 4: we'll see if we can get any answer.
- 42:07Speaker 9: Is out of shot, hard hitting questions journalist sick.
- 42:11Speaker 2: John on him, That's what I'm gonna do.
- 42:12Speaker 8: Well, I'm going down to shot better bring his egg game.
- 42:16Speaker 8: So right, I have in case you were asking, I
- 42:20Speaker 8: have Andrew Wingard on the ozone podcast. I believe we'll
- 42:24Speaker 8: post tomorrow and uh ozone podcast is always good, but
- 42:28Speaker 8: this one, as you might expect, Dewey was Dewey and uh.
- 42:35Speaker 7: Shared it some really good stories, so it's worth a listen.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Did he have any quotable lines that will be used
- 42:39Speaker 4: on rally towels?
- 42:41Speaker 2: Uh? Not yet.
- 42:42Speaker 8: He says those are sort of they come to him
- 42:45Speaker 8: when they come to him.
- 42:47Speaker 9: Keep them under wraps until the right moment.
- 42:48Speaker 8: Yeah, but he did talk about it was always the
- 42:51Speaker 8: Jags has become so you know, it was sort of
- 42:53Speaker 8: his thing.
- 42:55Speaker 7: And he didn't talk about how that sort of followed
- 42:57Speaker 7: him to this day.
- 42:58Speaker 8: People still when he's out. So it's I always enjoy
- 43:03Speaker 8: talking to do anything everybody does, and it was very
- 43:06Speaker 8: enjoyable as own podcasts.
- 43:08Speaker 4: Looking forward to that time out for the injury report
- 43:11Speaker 4: presented by uf Health, the proud healthcare partner of the
- 43:14Speaker 4: Jacksonville Jaguars, and again the Thursday report comes out at
- 43:18Speaker 4: like eleven o'clock PM London time.
- 43:20Speaker 2: What is that like six o'clock?
- 43:22Speaker 4: Thank you Jack, time Zone wizards over here.
- 43:27Speaker 7: So zy you are.
- 43:30Speaker 4: So we will take a look at yesterday's report for
- 43:33Speaker 4: both teams, starting with the Rams. Chot you out well
- 43:35Speaker 4: the wide receiver with a hamstring injury didn't play last week,
- 43:38Speaker 4: limited on Wednesday. Blake core On, the running back, didn't
- 43:41Speaker 4: practice with an ankle injury, having Stein the tackle didn't
- 43:45Speaker 4: practice ankle injury.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Pookin Nakou, of course, did not go.
- 43:48Speaker 4: Wednesday with the ankle injury he was injured in last
- 43:51Speaker 4: week's game. Kolbe Parkinson, the tight end with a concussion,
- 43:54Speaker 4: was full. Omar Spate slnebacker with an ankle issue limited
- 43:58Speaker 4: on Wednesday, and Sia Stuart, linebacker with an illness, did
- 44:03Speaker 4: not participate on Wednesday.
- 44:04Speaker 2: That's the Rams. Pukakua is the number one priority there.
- 44:07Speaker 9: Of course, Yes, forgive me for not quoting correctly, but
- 44:10Speaker 9: I saw on Twitter somewhere talking about you almost want
- 44:13Speaker 9: Pooka to play because I feel like sometimes when we
- 44:15Speaker 9: get so amped up that maybe a player isn't playing,
- 44:18Speaker 9: their backup find some way to just explode. Also, tight
- 44:21Speaker 9: ends against the Jaguars always happen to have their best day.
- 44:25Speaker 9: But when we're talking about Devonte Adams. They haven't connected
- 44:28Speaker 9: yet a lot because the ball's been going to Pooka
- 44:30Speaker 9: Nakoula a lot. But with someone of that ability, that
- 44:33Speaker 9: still concerns me. So even if Pooka's not out there,
- 44:36Speaker 9: I still think that needs to be a focus for
- 44:38Speaker 9: them because giving up the big play has been problematic
- 44:41Speaker 9: last week against their receivers, and when you have great receivers,
- 44:44Speaker 9: they can find ways to get open.
- 44:46Speaker 8: Yeah, and Nikup is so precise and so much of
- 44:48Speaker 8: that Rams offense is dependent on precision 'ro oute running
- 44:53Speaker 8: and H Vancouver Cup was the guy that's what they
- 44:57Speaker 8: looked like, and they don't look that much different with H,
- 45:00Speaker 8: but the number one guy in that offense. It's important
- 45:04Speaker 8: because of that the trust that Stafford has, So I
- 45:07Speaker 8: guess I would still feel a little better.
- 45:10Speaker 7: If he's not running out there guy.
- 45:11Speaker 8: With apologies to that theory, but with Stafford you cannot
- 45:16Speaker 8: assume anything, and he has the ability to use guys
- 45:20Speaker 8: who aren't his number one guy.
- 45:22Speaker 4: Now to the Jaguars on Wednesday, Diami Brown limited with
- 45:26Speaker 4: a shoulder issue. Hainsey, with a hamstring injury, was limited.
- 45:30Speaker 4: Devin Lloyd did not make the trip. Neither did Clinton Morris,
- 45:33Speaker 4: the tight end, Lloyd with a calf issue, Morris with
- 45:36Speaker 4: a groin issue, Eric Murray with a neck problem limited
- 45:40Speaker 4: on Wednesday, Trayvon Walker full participation with the club on
- 45:44Speaker 4: that dislocated wrist that he had surgical procedure on a
- 45:48Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago. So that's the Jaguars list from Wednesday.
- 45:52Speaker 4: We'll see about Hainsey moving forward. Obviously on the offensive line,
- 45:56Speaker 4: that would be key to have him back, and Trayvon
- 45:59Speaker 4: Walker is going to play through that club.
- 46:00Speaker 2: That's just what it's going to be another.
- 46:01Speaker 3: Week, I think.
- 46:03Speaker 9: Also, Devin Lloyd not making the trip at all, right,
- 46:05Speaker 9: so that puts a lot of pressure on Ventro Miller,
- 46:07Speaker 9: who high energy, energizer, bunny guy, but Devin Lloyd Obviously,
- 46:11Speaker 9: through the first couple of weeks the season has been
- 46:13Speaker 9: tremendous for this defense, So not having him out there's
- 46:15Speaker 9: going to hurt you a little bit. But obviously if
- 46:17Speaker 9: we can avoid some longer term injury, that's clearly what
- 46:19Speaker 9: the focus is going to be going forward.
- 46:22Speaker 3: Doc.
- 46:22Speaker 9: You know, we talked about Brent Strangers on IR and
- 46:24Speaker 9: Robert Hainsey. I think this is the one I'm going
- 46:26Speaker 9: to focus in on see where he's at on Friday.
- 46:28Speaker 7: Yeah, Haines's huge. You want him back.
- 46:31Speaker 8: I think with Ven Trell, I don't necessarily worry at
- 46:35Speaker 8: all about the Jaguars defense overall, play to play being
- 46:38Speaker 8: less with him because he's really good against the run.
- 46:41Speaker 8: He can do the things that Devin did in that.
- 46:43Speaker 8: What you're missing, obviously, is that one play where Devon
- 46:46Speaker 8: has been able so far to turn momentum. I'm not
- 46:50Speaker 8: saying Ventrel can't do that, but a few linebackers in
- 46:54Speaker 8: the last ten years have had it run like Devin
- 46:55Speaker 8: was having before he got hurt.
- 46:57Speaker 4: You're having a look at the injury presented by UF
- 47:00Speaker 4: Health and the Jaguars and the Rams coming up this
- 47:04Speaker 4: Sunday at Wimbley Stadium nine to thirty am Eastern kickoff time,
- 47:08Speaker 4: and we'll go on the network on Jaguars Radio Network
- 47:11Speaker 4: at eight thirty with countdown to kickoff six thirty am.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Public's tailgate show back Home. That's early Jacksonville.
- 47:19Speaker 9: They're gonna have to get Are they doing breakfast at early?
- 47:21Speaker 2: Like?
- 47:21Speaker 9: What's the pregame ritual for these nine to thirty games?
- 47:24Speaker 2: I believe so.
- 47:25Speaker 4: Yeah, Dempsey and Austin Lane will be back in the
- 47:27Speaker 4: studio in Jacksonville on the air six.
- 47:29Speaker 3: There.
- 47:29Speaker 8: It'd be like a fancy brunch, so Max has maybe
- 47:32Speaker 8: the stadium is six.
- 47:32Speaker 2: Thirty better or they're not gonna get on the air two.
- 47:36Speaker 7: That's a big morning for my.
- 47:37Speaker 4: Boy, right absolutely, So that's coming up Sunday. Always a
- 47:42Speaker 4: pleasure to be at Wembley Stadium looking forward to this.
- 47:44Speaker 4: It's the sixtieth regular season international game in league history,
- 47:48Speaker 4: the forty second in London, and they're not going anywhere.
- 47:51Speaker 4: They're only going to expand moving forward. There's still there's
- 47:54Speaker 4: already talk of possible sixteen international games. If the schedule
- 47:58Speaker 4: goes to eighteen regular games, that means everybody would play
- 48:02Speaker 4: one at least in a season. That's in the future.
- 48:06Speaker 4: They're adding cities by the year. Of course, they've already
- 48:09Speaker 4: done South Polo Brazil this year, Dublin two in London,
- 48:13Speaker 4: third in London this week. Then it's Berlin and Madrid
- 48:17Speaker 4: in November, and they're going to keep adding and adding
- 48:20Speaker 4: and adding.
- 48:20Speaker 9: It's kind of cool to see how much it's grown
- 48:22Speaker 9: because I remember when it started it was just a novelty,
- 48:25Speaker 9: so to say, and they've made it a whole different
- 48:28Speaker 9: branch of the NFL and expanding the game is pretty
- 48:30Speaker 9: nice to see.
- 48:31Speaker 8: Yeah, the first time I ever did it, I went
- 48:33Speaker 8: two thousand and five preseason Colts Falcons. At the time,
- 48:39Speaker 8: you figured it was always going to be a preseason game,
- 48:41Speaker 8: and you know, it's always tough to do that preseason
- 48:44Speaker 8: because you're going over there, the game doesn't really matter.
- 48:46Speaker 8: Everything feels like very going through the motions. So that
- 48:50Speaker 8: would be such a part of the NFL internationally. It's
- 48:56Speaker 8: only something new that I never experienced growing upper early
- 49:01Speaker 8: in my career.
- 49:02Speaker 4: Yeah, there was they had the the International Bowl, the
- 49:05Speaker 4: preseason game over here at the old Wimbley back in
- 49:08Speaker 4: the eighties. Occasionally I think the first team over here
- 49:11Speaker 4: was like the Bears with the refrigerator Perry. Yeah, and
- 49:15Speaker 4: then of course the NFL Europe came along after that
- 49:17Speaker 4: World League and all those things.
- 49:19Speaker 2: That'll do it for Jaguars happy hour or thanks to
