- 0:21Speaker 1: Hour was presented by the Fields Auto Group and now
- 0:24Speaker 1: President and CEO of the Peter McNicol Van Club JAP.
- 0:32Speaker 1: I still am not totally sure who that is. This
- 0:36Speaker 1: is from a previous taped show today that our folks
- 0:40Speaker 1: in the UK will enjoy a little later in the week.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour, presented by the Fields Auto Group.
- 0:46Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, John Osier, Senior writer. Joe's intros are
- 0:50Speaker 1: always pretty good because I guess when he had eight
- 0:52Speaker 1: hours to stand on. I don't know what else he
- 0:56Speaker 1: does all day. To be quite honest with you, it's
- 0:59Speaker 1: right along until I know, work for for two seconds.
- 1:01Speaker 1: But some days, some days it is um. We've got
- 1:06Speaker 1: a lot to get to today. Here's what's coming up
- 1:08Speaker 1: on the program. Jalen Ramsey talk. He did not practice today?
- 1:13Speaker 1: Is back injury issue? And when was it determined? Kind
- 1:19Speaker 1: of the last hour or so. Has been some scuttle
- 1:23Speaker 1: butt on Twitter, if you will, We'll get to that
- 1:24Speaker 1: coming up. It's on to Denver though the Broncos are
- 1:27Speaker 1: next zero and three. The defense got home last week?
- 1:31Speaker 1: Can they continue to keep that pace? Minshew Mania is
- 1:36Speaker 1: still on fire. Some running a game adjustments on the
- 1:40Speaker 1: offensive line, and as always, wide receiver Chris Connelly joins
- 1:44Speaker 1: us Andrew wingered safety. Special teams are special team or
- 1:51Speaker 1: teams are team special teams? Player, we'll join us. And
- 1:55Speaker 1: of course Jimmy lock Hen equipment manager, will won build
- 1:58Speaker 1: the uniforms. So a lot to get to today. Let's
- 2:00Speaker 1: start off with all this Ramsey business. He did not
- 2:03Speaker 1: practice on Monday on a walk through with an illness.
- 2:07Speaker 1: The players off day was Tuesday, and he did not
- 2:10Speaker 1: practice today. He's on the injury list, at least pre
- 2:13Speaker 1: practice injury list. As not practicing today, he was not
- 2:17Speaker 1: out there with a back issue. And then the last
- 2:21Speaker 1: hour or so, the questions of when that injury issue
- 2:26Speaker 1: was reported, Well, Dug Maron didn't have much of an
- 2:30Speaker 1: answer for that in his press conference today. But now
- 2:32Speaker 1: some national media types have talked to Ramsey's agent apparently,
- 2:36Speaker 1: and they claim it was during the fourth quarter of
- 2:38Speaker 1: the game on Thursday night. What do you make of
- 2:41Speaker 1: all this? Now? Does it all matter? Does any of it?
- 2:45Speaker 1: Does anybody really know? What time it is. It's at
- 2:50Speaker 1: this point it feels like the story is going to evolve, change,
- 3:01Speaker 1: be different day to day on everything. And I guess
- 3:05Speaker 1: the bottom line is, you know, on Monday, I do know,
- 3:10Speaker 1: and for from good people, the sickness was real. I
- 3:13Speaker 1: don't doubt that there's a back injury. Um, it's just
- 3:17Speaker 1: you know, on on drivetime, right after the the sickness
- 3:22Speaker 1: was reported, Brian Sexton and I both sort of, you know,
- 3:27Speaker 1: reacted with skepticism and later got some emails saying, oh,
- 3:33Speaker 1: you know that was rude, etcetera, etcetera. But you know,
- 3:38Speaker 1: it's sort of a little uh boy, you cried wolf
- 3:43Speaker 1: a little bit and that's not exactly accurate. But when
- 3:46Speaker 1: there's so much going on around you and you make
- 3:50Speaker 1: the trade requests and then behave on the field, behave
- 3:54Speaker 1: off the field, the story is coming out all different.
- 3:58Speaker 1: There's going to be skepticis him now with whatever is
- 4:01Speaker 1: said and whatever is done? And is it right? Is
- 4:05Speaker 1: it wrong for us to be skeptical for fantasy skeptical?
- 4:07Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's the reality of it right
- 4:10Speaker 1: now that it's it's such a confused, meandering storyline, is
- 4:16Speaker 1: such a weird storyline that and there's not going to
- 4:19Speaker 1: be facts involved, so you've got to speculate on what
- 4:23Speaker 1: you hear, and it's a it's confusing meandering all those things.
- 4:30Speaker 1: I think the bottom line is, I don't think Jalen
- 4:33Speaker 1: is going to change his stance on wanting to be trade.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I don't get that feeling that's gonna change. I don't
- 4:39Speaker 1: get the idea that the Jaguars are planning to change
- 4:43Speaker 1: their walk toward Hey, you're a player on our team.
- 4:47Speaker 1: You have tears remaining on your contract, and players under
- 4:51Speaker 1: contract in this league play. You're not gonna be necessarily happy.
- 4:54Speaker 1: But you know what a lot of people aren't happy means, right,
- 4:59Speaker 1: I mean a lot of walks of life. But you
- 5:01Speaker 1: still go to your job and you do it. And
- 5:03Speaker 1: he's not making light of his feelings on it. But
- 5:05Speaker 1: the reality is the team has a job to do
- 5:09Speaker 1: in preparing for a game and putting their team on
- 5:12Speaker 1: the field. Jalen is under contract, and I don't there's
- 5:16Speaker 1: sort of a good faith in the NFL that if
- 5:18Speaker 1: you're under contract, you're going to play the best of
- 5:20Speaker 1: your ability. I think that's what they're counting on, and
- 5:22Speaker 1: I think he will because he's a pro and he's
- 5:25Speaker 1: a great player who wants to be He loves football
- 5:27Speaker 1: and wants to play for all that stuff comes off
- 5:30Speaker 1: of that track. I guess that's the track that I'm
- 5:33Speaker 1: assuming it will follow, And to give Jalen the benefit
- 5:36Speaker 1: of the doubt on it, I think he'll follow that track.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I think his back probably hurts enough for not to play,
- 5:41Speaker 1: And if he doesn't play on Sunday and it comes
- 5:43Speaker 1: out that it was anything other than a back, then
- 5:46Speaker 1: shame on him. Well, then then that's a totally diffferent.
- 5:50Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be shame on him. You know,
- 5:52Speaker 1: there was the tweet earlier today from Adam Schefter saying
- 5:55Speaker 1: that basically it was he felt like it was a
- 5:59Speaker 1: long shot of the even plays this week paraphrase. I'm
- 6:04Speaker 1: assuming that that's what it would be, that his back
- 6:06Speaker 1: is so hurt that he can't play. But the gist
- 6:08Speaker 1: of the tweet was basically is because of the standoff
- 6:11Speaker 1: between the team and that's him, which is that's a shame.
- 6:14Speaker 1: But I don't see him just missing a football game
- 6:17Speaker 1: over this of a squabble with the front office, because
- 6:21Speaker 1: he's never missed a football game. Why would he miss
- 6:22Speaker 1: a football game if he's not hurt. Well, if that's
- 6:26Speaker 1: what it is, you know, maybe I'm just naive guy
- 6:29Speaker 1: j And that's fine. But I think he plays if
- 6:33Speaker 1: he's healthy enough to play, plays, and then if he
- 6:35Speaker 1: and then if he doesn't and it's because of the standoff,
- 6:38Speaker 1: then you deactivate him till he's ready to play. Then
- 6:40Speaker 1: that's then we're going down the path we haven't been
- 6:42Speaker 1: down yet the best. And you know, I think there's
- 6:47Speaker 1: a school of thought that you, as you deactivate him
- 6:50Speaker 1: stil he's ready to play, you continue doing that. And
- 6:52Speaker 1: if it turns into one week, two weeks, end of
- 6:55Speaker 1: season next year, it all right. Let's move forward from
- 7:00Speaker 1: this jail Ramsey stuff today and that'll be right moving forward.
- 7:07Speaker 1: But tomorrow is a different Day's see what happens, you know,
- 7:10Speaker 1: twenty four hours from now. Let's Gardner Minshew, Jaguars quarterback
- 7:14Speaker 1: spoke today. Always an interesting conversation with the Jaguars quarterback. Now.
- 7:18Speaker 1: He came in, of course in Week one and relief
- 7:20Speaker 1: of Nick Foles, and he's been the starting quarterback the
- 7:22Speaker 1: last two weeks and we'll be now for the foreseeable future.
- 7:25Speaker 1: At least the next month and a half or so
- 7:27Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars. You see his numbers there and
- 7:30Speaker 1: what he did last week and that win on Thursday
- 7:32Speaker 1: Night football. He was already kind of taking over things
- 7:36Speaker 1: in this city before last week on Thursday Night Football.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Now it's started. The snowball of Minshew mania has continued
- 7:44Speaker 1: since then. You know. Now, just hearing from him today,
- 7:47Speaker 1: none of this stuff, I don't think he really phases him.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I think he gets a kick out of it. I
- 7:52Speaker 1: think he loves the fact that his dad gets interviewed
- 7:55Speaker 1: now and does stuff nationally and you know, people know
- 7:58Speaker 1: his story and what it to get to this point.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I think he gets a kick out of all of it.
- 8:04Speaker 1: But it doesn't don't let it distract from football. Now.
- 8:07Speaker 1: This guy is locked into what he has to do
- 8:10Speaker 1: on a day to day basis in this building. I'm
- 8:12Speaker 1: not inside Gardner's head. Um. It's what a scene, um,
- 8:19Speaker 1: But my impression and the way you approaches things, and
- 8:21Speaker 1: this is just from sort of watching it from you know,
- 8:25Speaker 1: ten ft away in the press conference. Isn't watching it
- 8:28Speaker 1: as people do. Is he understand that this mania thing
- 8:33Speaker 1: is out there? Uh? He? Today? He answered you were
- 8:40Speaker 1: there forty seconds worth the questions on Minshi mania right
- 8:43Speaker 1: during the press conference. Um my guess is from the
- 8:47Speaker 1: time he landed from his trip back from Pullman until
- 8:53Speaker 1: the end of the game on Sunday, that that thirty
- 8:56Speaker 1: five or forty seconds is about what he'll think about
- 8:58Speaker 1: Minshi Mania. He says it, and he's a fun guy,
- 9:01Speaker 1: so everybody else will talk about it. There'll be clips,
- 9:04Speaker 1: they'll be Sports Center, they'll be the mustache stuff. Are
- 9:07Speaker 1: our marketing people mustache, you know, all that stuff, and
- 9:11Speaker 1: that's all great. But once you know, I'm pointing to
- 9:14Speaker 1: the hallway was where football begins around here. Once he's
- 9:17Speaker 1: in there, I think the forty five seconds that he
- 9:20Speaker 1: talked about it and answered a couple of funny questions
- 9:23Speaker 1: are about as much thought as he gives it. And
- 9:25Speaker 1: I think that's the way. Remember this is not new
- 9:29Speaker 1: to him. This is not a novel. He was this
- 9:33Speaker 1: guy in Washington, uh all of last year, Washington State
- 9:36Speaker 1: all of last year. Uh So to him, this is
- 9:40Speaker 1: just something that's risen up again. What's striking JP, what's
- 9:45Speaker 1: the most fascinating I've ever been around in twenty five
- 9:47Speaker 1: years doing this, It's almost like there are parallel universes
- 9:51Speaker 1: with the Jaguars. Right now, there's the weirdness that is
- 9:54Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. And when I say weird, I mean he's weird,
- 9:57Speaker 1: but that that story is bizarre, sure, and it's blown
- 10:01Speaker 1: up pretty and that's blowing up and it's this, it's
- 10:03Speaker 1: this boy, things are just a mess. Like nationally they
- 10:07Speaker 1: think this is overwhelming the building. I don't feel like
- 10:10Speaker 1: that's what we're We're willing to building all the Jail
- 10:12Speaker 1: Ramsey story. It's were willing the media covering it, but
- 10:15Speaker 1: inside the building it's okay. Jalen is he He's always
- 10:19Speaker 1: been a little bit of a side show. Now it's
- 10:21Speaker 1: just a little bit of a different level side show.
- 10:23Speaker 1: But that's over here. And then there's the weirdness Theyd
- 10:25Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew never the Twain shall meet. And I don't
- 10:30Speaker 1: think either of them are actually affecting what's going on
- 10:32Speaker 1: in the field that much, which is that for the
- 10:33Speaker 1: last seven quarters, this team has played as well as
- 10:35Speaker 1: it's played in the year. That's a fascinating it's a
- 10:38Speaker 1: fascinating thing. What gets lost in all of it is
- 10:42Speaker 1: that the team's playing well, and I feel like they
- 10:44Speaker 1: have a chance to win the next couple of games
- 10:46Speaker 1: and really get back into this thing. I think the
- 10:48Speaker 1: team feels like it's playing well, and these other two
- 10:50Speaker 1: things are just things that people are talking about because
- 10:53Speaker 1: it's fine to talk about and that kind of thing. Sometimes,
- 10:55Speaker 1: I mean, what if that, what if those outside noise
- 10:59Speaker 1: things are what brings this team together inside? I mean
- 11:03Speaker 1: because maybe ever since those things have happened, well, guess what,
- 11:06Speaker 1: like you said, they've played really good football. They can
- 11:09Speaker 1: keep that up. Some element among the players, especially on defense,
- 11:12Speaker 1: of Hey, Jalen is going to do his thing, and
- 11:15Speaker 1: that's fine. We love him, we want him on the
- 11:17Speaker 1: field because he's great. But no matter what happens, we're good. Yeah,
- 11:20Speaker 1: we still have to go out there and play the
- 11:22Speaker 1: rest of us. And this defense for the past seven course,
- 11:25Speaker 1: a lot of it because of Jalen, but as much
- 11:27Speaker 1: of it because of the past resh the other night
- 11:30Speaker 1: is playing at a level that matches for the last
- 11:33Speaker 1: two games anything they've done in the last what a
- 11:36Speaker 1: three or four years, and they've been really good. And
- 11:38Speaker 1: I don't really think that they're affected by the whole
- 11:42Speaker 1: Ramsey thing, except for the fact that when he's on
- 11:45Speaker 1: the field. Boy, is he a lockdown corner at that
- 11:48Speaker 1: one spot. But I feel like they think they're pretty good,
- 11:52Speaker 1: maybe great with him and near great no matter what.
- 11:55Speaker 1: They have other good players back there too. Obviously not
- 11:58Speaker 1: at that level. I'm not saying there at the level,
- 11:59Speaker 1: but they have Ale there. Their defensive front as a
- 12:04Speaker 1: whole as good as Jalen it. The defensive front in
- 12:09Speaker 1: the line rotation is still the most important thing about
- 12:12Speaker 1: this team, regardless of how good jay On is, because
- 12:16Speaker 1: it helps that back in. I think whoever's back there,
- 12:18Speaker 1: so if the defensive pass rush plays like it did
- 12:22Speaker 1: the other night, it doesn't matter who's playing back there.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Let's move on on offense now a bit here, And
- 12:29Speaker 1: you know, the running game has been a big topic
- 12:31Speaker 1: this week. How do you fix the running game? Well,
- 12:33Speaker 1: Doug Marone earlier in the week said, it's really you know,
- 12:36Speaker 1: it's not a lot with having to do with Leonard.
- 12:39Speaker 1: You know, he's doing what he can, but he doesn't
- 12:42Speaker 1: have a lot of time to do certain things when
- 12:44Speaker 1: defenders are in the backfield. And he had negative yards
- 12:47Speaker 1: before the long run of sixty nine yards late in
- 12:49Speaker 1: the game. Last week on Thursday Night, Football finished with
- 12:52Speaker 1: the sixties six yards totally in that game. But when
- 12:56Speaker 1: he's getting hit behind the line or at the line
- 12:58Speaker 1: of scrimmage, it's hard to get any moment them. But
- 13:00Speaker 1: that starts up front on that offensive line. They've got
- 13:02Speaker 1: to figure it out in the running game. They've been
- 13:05Speaker 1: good in pass protection. They're given Gardener time and all that,
- 13:08Speaker 1: but to really make this thing sing over the next
- 13:12Speaker 1: month or two, they've got to have a balance there.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Gardener has got to have a run game to support him,
- 13:17Speaker 1: to open up that defense a little bit and vice versa.
- 13:19Speaker 1: They get the run game going, they've got to continue
- 13:22Speaker 1: to pass it. But it really it starts up front
- 13:23Speaker 1: with that group, and they've they've had some guys coming
- 13:25Speaker 1: and going the last couple of weeks there he's he's
- 13:30Speaker 1: missed the hole. Yeah, and he is not or has
- 13:36Speaker 1: not shown to be the sort of miss ability type
- 13:39Speaker 1: back that you would love. But when you're negative three
- 13:44Speaker 1: fourteen carries that ain't on the back negative three for
- 13:49Speaker 1: fourteen carries means you're getting hit in the backfield before
- 13:51Speaker 1: you have a chance to get started more often than not.
- 13:53Speaker 1: So is it all the offensive line, No, But when
- 13:57Speaker 1: you have that kind of stat things are getting blown up.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I keep on getting these letters or these emails. Why
- 14:04Speaker 1: don't they try another back? Um? Because is not doing
- 14:09Speaker 1: anything wrong. What I'm not sure Armstad is gonna make
- 14:12Speaker 1: a guy missed when he takes the ball and literally
- 14:15Speaker 1: behind the life. So uh, I don't doubt the other
- 14:18Speaker 1: two backs are gonna play at some point and they're
- 14:19Speaker 1: gonna play key roles. But this was the playing all
- 14:21Speaker 1: along to have him play these downs. But and because
- 14:25Speaker 1: they believe that him in the game, because he's turning
- 14:28Speaker 1: into a very good third down back. The looks they
- 14:31Speaker 1: can give when you put another back in, the looks
- 14:38Speaker 1: that back tips off what they're gonna do. And I
- 14:41Speaker 1: don't think there is good in the passing games or
- 14:44Speaker 1: in past protection. As for Nettist, with Leonard, it's much
- 14:48Speaker 1: the same concept and why teams often go too tight ends.
- 14:51Speaker 1: You're hard to read what they're gonna do. When Leonard's in,
- 14:53Speaker 1: they can do anything in their offense they want to
- 14:54Speaker 1: do and their balance. There's no key, there's no tip
- 14:58Speaker 1: off based him being in the game. Um. So I
- 15:03Speaker 1: just think there is a school of thought when they
- 15:06Speaker 1: look at Okay, who are we going to play in there?
- 15:08Speaker 1: Who's our best guy? Well, are we going to get
- 15:10Speaker 1: something more from putting somebody else in right now? No?
- 15:14Speaker 1: At what point? Though? The question for me is is
- 15:17Speaker 1: this many reps for for Net a bad thing for
- 15:20Speaker 1: for Net? Can he handle this kind of workload and
- 15:23Speaker 1: how long can he handle it? Because I don't think
- 15:25Speaker 1: he's ever had this kind of workload. No, but he's
- 15:27Speaker 1: not getting an incredible number of touches yet. I mean,
- 15:30Speaker 1: it's not like he's up around touches. He had what
- 15:37Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen the other night, So he's on the
- 15:40Speaker 1: field a lot. He's not running fair question. I would
- 15:47Speaker 1: expect it to wayne a little bit as time goes on,
- 15:52Speaker 1: because it felt like in the game he took some
- 15:53Speaker 1: shots the other night, like in the passing game he
- 15:56Speaker 1: took a couple of hits and was I don't know,
- 15:58Speaker 1: it wasn't dinged up. I don't want to go there,
- 16:00Speaker 1: but you could just tell us a little frustration towards
- 16:03Speaker 1: the end of that game, I think, And I don't
- 16:04Speaker 1: know if it had to do we haven't had a
- 16:05Speaker 1: chance to talk to him this week yet. Who had
- 16:07Speaker 1: had to do with If you're getting hit to yours
- 16:09Speaker 1: on my screment you're gonna get frustrated to that's right.
- 16:11Speaker 1: So I mean he gets a little bit of it,
- 16:13Speaker 1: but maybe I mean on the long run, you never
- 16:15Speaker 1: see him get run down on a run like that,
- 16:18Speaker 1: you know, and that had to be from from just
- 16:20Speaker 1: a little exhaustion. To his credit, uh, I think this
- 16:24Speaker 1: deserves to be said about him. It bubbled during his
- 16:28Speaker 1: rookie year. It really blew up last year. All the
- 16:31Speaker 1: criticism of how this guy was off the field, his approach,
- 16:35Speaker 1: all that stuff got called into question. He's dealing with
- 16:37Speaker 1: the media, et cetera. All of it was either an
- 16:40Speaker 1: underlying or fight out out there. With the statement from
- 16:43Speaker 1: Coughing at the end of last season, Um, whatever the
- 16:47Speaker 1: motivation and how long it lasts, he can't have approached
- 16:51Speaker 1: things better this year. He has been professionally, he has
- 16:54Speaker 1: been a stand up guy, even beyond the dealings with us.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Everything you hear is that we couldn't have asked for
- 16:59Speaker 1: a better or approach in terms of how he's approaching
- 17:01Speaker 1: things mentally as he is right now. There was no
- 17:04Speaker 1: frustration after the game the other night. He didn't come
- 17:07Speaker 1: out and say, hey, if my line had blocked better,
- 17:09Speaker 1: we'd have done this. You don't get that from this guy.
- 17:11Speaker 1: So Uh. As much as he's been criticized for these
- 17:15Speaker 1: sort of things in the past, I think he deserves
- 17:17Speaker 1: credit for how he's approached things this year. That's been good.
- 17:19Speaker 1: It really has. And he stands there and answers the
- 17:21Speaker 1: questions as dumb as they may be, right, but he
- 17:24Speaker 1: stands there and answers him the best that he can
- 17:26Speaker 1: far with to his credit, some guys come out and
- 17:28Speaker 1: do that and it's clear, I don't want to be here.
- 17:31Speaker 1: There's really been no eye roll. There's really been and
- 17:33Speaker 1: there was some of that in the past. Like when
- 17:34Speaker 1: you're talking to him, he's he's on his best behavior
- 17:39Speaker 1: and I have no reason to think that that won't continue.
- 17:42Speaker 1: And your credit to him, because that's probably wasn't easy
- 17:46Speaker 1: thing in the world for from today. But when he's
- 17:47Speaker 1: in that mode, which he is now, he's a pretty
- 17:49Speaker 1: engaging guy. If you sit there and talk to him,
- 17:51Speaker 1: he's fantastic. He's one of the I mean, next to Minshew,
- 17:55Speaker 1: who's like might have a career in stand up comedy. Uh,
- 17:59Speaker 1: he's an engaging is and is and as good interviews
- 18:02Speaker 1: there is in locker room when he wants to. Let's
- 18:05Speaker 1: come back. We'll touch on the Broncos what their issues
- 18:08Speaker 1: may be. Well, I don't know if we'll figure them out,
- 18:12Speaker 1: but we'll touch on some of the stars on that
- 18:14Speaker 1: football team that don't have any sacks yet too. This
- 18:17Speaker 1: is the defensive stars, it really is. We'll get to
- 18:20Speaker 1: that and we'll take your social media questions that we're

- 20:13Speaker 1: John Osher glad you with us coming up later. Chris
- 20:15Speaker 1: Conney Andrew wingered Jack's safety. Oh, Jimmy Luck to head
- 20:20Speaker 1: equipment manager, will join us about gosh ten twelve minutes
- 20:25Speaker 1: or so, give or take if he's on cough on
- 20:28Speaker 1: time or not. He'll unveil the uniforms. Sick he is,
- 20:34Speaker 1: in fact, and we'll get those uniforms unveiled. Um. The
- 20:37Speaker 1: Denver Broncos are oh and three. The quarterback situation. They
- 20:42Speaker 1: traded for Flacco. He's the guy there and they like
- 20:44Speaker 1: Lock but he's hurt right now. The young guy UM.
- 20:47Speaker 1: And their defense has kind of been their strength over
- 20:51Speaker 1: the last few years, obviously back to the Super Bowl
- 20:53Speaker 1: run a few years ago when they had that run
- 20:56Speaker 1: before Malie Millie Jackson, the Super Bowl run and all
- 20:58Speaker 1: that stuff, and Von Miller has been there. Some of
- 21:00Speaker 1: those guys are still there, but they're not, you know,
- 21:04Speaker 1: putting up the statistics they I think expect year over
- 21:08Speaker 1: year in Denver, they don't have any sacks as a defense.
- 21:10Speaker 1: With Chub and Miller on the defensive side. It seems
- 21:14Speaker 1: they were a team that realistically knew this was going
- 21:17Speaker 1: to be something that transition year. It's why you bring
- 21:18Speaker 1: somebody like Flacco in. You draft who you hope to
- 21:21Speaker 1: be the quarterback, and you hope that by the end
- 21:24Speaker 1: of this year you've shown improvement and you feel like
- 21:27Speaker 1: you're going a positive direction with possibly the new quarterback um.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Their plan from Afar seems to be, uh, we have
- 21:36Speaker 1: a really good defense that can create things when some
- 21:40Speaker 1: close games or early stay in it and feel like
- 21:42Speaker 1: you're gonna get going when you're intransicing. That's what you
- 21:45Speaker 1: hope to do. The plan sort of worked in the
- 21:48Speaker 1: sense that they had the Chicago game in week to
- 21:52Speaker 1: one and let us slip through their fingers. I think
- 21:55Speaker 1: the one thing that it sounds like hasn't gone to
- 21:58Speaker 1: plan with them. When that's your and you have this
- 22:00Speaker 1: kind of a defense, you don't expect your numbers to
- 22:03Speaker 1: be zero takeaways and zero sacks. If those numbers were
- 22:06Speaker 1: more what they expected, it feels like their season would
- 22:10Speaker 1: have gone a little more as we would expective when
- 22:13Speaker 1: you're counting on this thing that you have elite players
- 22:16Speaker 1: doing and get nothing out of it. By the same token,
- 22:22Speaker 1: the old formula we talked about with this team all
- 22:24Speaker 1: the time, their offense hasn't played well enough to get
- 22:28Speaker 1: them leads, so they have not been in a lot
- 22:30Speaker 1: of situations for sex and turnovers to happen, much as
- 22:34Speaker 1: was the storyline around this team last year that we
- 22:37Speaker 1: that gets overlooked because people want to blame the defense
- 22:39Speaker 1: for that. It sounds like the defense is still playing
- 22:42Speaker 1: well enough to get those things not in a position
- 22:45Speaker 1: to It's why JP I think the huge key for
- 22:47Speaker 1: the jag Wars. It's always good to get up early
- 22:49Speaker 1: because guess what, JP, it's better to lead than trail um.
- 22:52Speaker 1: But against this sort of a team on the road,
- 22:56Speaker 1: you do not want to have this team get some
- 22:58Speaker 1: confidence to get ahead of you, be able to start
- 22:59Speaker 1: rushing the asser that gets them into what they do well.
- 23:02Speaker 1: I think you'd rather have zero zero for a while
- 23:05Speaker 1: than get in a hole. You would take a stalemate
- 23:07Speaker 1: for a while rather than get in a hole against
- 23:09Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, you get those pass rush formed up
- 23:11Speaker 1: and going and pinning their ears, get him excited and
- 23:14Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, oftentimes when you are
- 23:17Speaker 1: struggling in an area, especially with saxon turnovers, you don't
- 23:20Speaker 1: get him for a while and then they come in bunches.
- 23:22Speaker 1: So let him get none and keep that number of zero.
- 23:25Speaker 1: We'll talk to Joan Taylor to them in the locker
- 23:27Speaker 1: room and rookie tackle. He knows. I mean, this is
- 23:29Speaker 1: a not a fun matchup, but it is a matchup
- 23:32Speaker 1: that this is why you're in the NFL. H Bot
- 23:34Speaker 1: Miller's on the other side of the football. Yeah, it's
- 23:36Speaker 1: it's it's fun until it starts, that's right. It stays fun. Yeah,
- 23:42Speaker 1: sixty minutes of fun. It sounds fine because it could
- 23:45Speaker 1: be fifty eight minutes of fun and then the last
- 23:47Speaker 1: drive when you need to all of a sudden, here's fine, Miller.
- 23:49Speaker 1: We saw it here a few years ago. Yeah, he can,
- 23:51Speaker 1: you know, in a moment's notice, he can be there.
- 23:53Speaker 1: As Doug said, he wasn't going to smoke about this. Uh.
- 23:57Speaker 1: They have two pass rushers, and there's only handful of
- 24:01Speaker 1: the NFL. They have a couple that can end games
- 24:03Speaker 1: and can can dominate games. He always have one in Calais.
- 24:05Speaker 1: These guys that went in von Miller. Offensively, it's it's
- 24:08Speaker 1: kind of weird seeing Joe Flacco in another uniform besides
- 24:11Speaker 1: purple in Baltimore. Well, and I think there's the expected
- 24:15Speaker 1: struggles of a new quarterback coming in new system. He's
- 24:20Speaker 1: usually a guy with the Ravens. They knew exactly what
- 24:23Speaker 1: they wanted to do with him, and when he was right,
- 24:26Speaker 1: they had a great defense. It took a lot of
- 24:28Speaker 1: shots deep. He's a very accurate deep ball passer. Um,
- 24:32Speaker 1: it's tough to just uh incorporate that quickly into an offense.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Other things have to be going well. They want to
- 24:38Speaker 1: be able to run, run well, then have play accidents
- 24:42Speaker 1: when he's at his best. Uh, they haven't been able
- 24:44Speaker 1: to go down field very well. His yards per attempted
- 24:47Speaker 1: or his yards protempt is very low for him. So
- 24:51Speaker 1: it just seems like they've had trouble getting the entire
- 24:55Speaker 1: system into a place where it supports what he wants
- 24:58Speaker 1: to do. He went to running game. They only have
- 25:00Speaker 1: a couple of running backs. They lean on their roych
- 25:02Speaker 1: Freeman and Philip Lindsay, two headed running back room there
- 25:07Speaker 1: and then we're a little different than here right now. Well,
- 25:10Speaker 1: was did a very good job stopping the run against
- 25:12Speaker 1: Tennessee and it enabled their pass rush to get off.
- 25:15Speaker 1: They didn't do a great job against that in UH
- 25:18Speaker 1: in Houston. This needs to be a game where they
- 25:20Speaker 1: play they did against Tennessee and where to get to
- 25:22Speaker 1: flout and they were not a great defense against run.
- 25:27Speaker 1: The first two games were better on Sunday or on
- 25:30Speaker 1: Thursday against the Titans. Against this team, much the same
- 25:35Speaker 1: as with their defense. You don't want to have these
- 25:37Speaker 1: running backs started getting into a rhythm early and feel
- 25:40Speaker 1: like you can run because that's what they want to do.
- 25:44Speaker 1: All right, we have a look at the Denver Broncos.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Let's get to social media questions. Jimmy Luck coming up
- 25:49Speaker 1: in just a few minutes. We'll get to the uniform unveiling.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Let's go to our social questions that we had those
- 25:55Speaker 1: earlier today on you know, social media, Twitter at John Osier, right,
- 25:59Speaker 1: people social media at J P. Shadrick. People like Twitter,
- 26:03Speaker 1: some people do, some people don't. It's worn that now, right.
- 26:09Speaker 1: He had a day today on Twitter. By the way,
- 26:11Speaker 1: This is from Carpai Cubtureham. Why is Adam Schefter such
- 26:17Speaker 1: an entitled little child that he continues to push his
- 26:19Speaker 1: own narrative on the Jayale Ramsey situation rather than simply
- 26:23Speaker 1: you know reports, This is pretty interesting after some of
- 26:27Speaker 1: the tweets today the last couple of days, some fans
- 26:30Speaker 1: are responding to Schefter here. Yeah, I have to admit
- 26:33Speaker 1: I don't. I don't track Adams every move I did
- 26:39Speaker 1: I see what he's been tweeting. Made I assume that
- 26:43Speaker 1: most of what the national guys Adam Ian Rappaport, they
- 26:47Speaker 1: speak to the agents a lot and speak to team
- 26:50Speaker 1: executives when they can, and the agents are usually the
- 26:53Speaker 1: best source information. So usually the agenda, as it were,
- 26:59Speaker 1: is what the agent is telling them what's going on.
- 27:02Speaker 1: So my assumption, until proven otherwise, is that's what's going on.
- 27:06Speaker 1: When you're a national guy and you're covering all threety
- 27:09Speaker 1: two teams, you report, you throw everything out there that
- 27:13Speaker 1: you hear, and uh, but the winds blow information isn't
- 27:16Speaker 1: may So I don't know that he has an agenda necessarily.
- 27:19Speaker 1: I don't think he cares about the Jackwards one way
- 27:21Speaker 1: there enough to have an agenda. Um, my guess is
- 27:24Speaker 1: it's being whatever the agent is pushing is uh, is
- 27:28Speaker 1: what Adams reporting, And that's usually what reporters did you
- 27:31Speaker 1: report actually had something today with Jalen's agent on the
- 27:35Speaker 1: record actually mentioned him by name. Today is saying this
- 27:38Speaker 1: or that or this, so yeah, often in this situation, Yeah,
- 27:48Speaker 1: it's it's so strange that you get tweets and then
- 27:51Speaker 1: you get this reporter after this reporter has a tweet,
- 27:56Speaker 1: and this reporter is is jumping out there and saying, Okay,
- 28:00Speaker 1: now I need to push the story a little further
- 28:03Speaker 1: and hun or forty characters. It's a it's a half
- 28:05Speaker 1: a cent that pushes it a little more. While I
- 28:07Speaker 1: had something you didn't. So this Jalen thing is going
- 28:11Speaker 1: to play it as it plays out, there's going to
- 28:13Speaker 1: be out of twenty tweets, there's gonna be three that
- 28:17Speaker 1: have some misinformation in it that tilt the wrong way,
- 28:20Speaker 1: and then it gets corrected over time. You'll get the
- 28:22Speaker 1: idea of the story. It's bizarre. It's a bizarre story
- 28:26Speaker 1: that I get the feeling will go this way once,
- 28:29Speaker 1: this way the next day, this way the next day,
- 28:31Speaker 1: and up and down, and it's a it would be
- 28:35Speaker 1: a different story if there wasn't no social media right
- 28:38Speaker 1: back in the old day. Yeah, I a different dynamic
- 28:42Speaker 1: and things would calm down a little bit as it were.
- 28:44Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna be weird. It's it's gonna
- 28:46Speaker 1: be weird, and I'll believe that jail and doesn't play
- 28:50Speaker 1: when I see it. I agree with that. One is
- 28:52Speaker 1: the biggest thing to keep an eye on. If he
- 28:54Speaker 1: doesn't run out of that tunnel, that's one, I'll believe it. Yeah,
- 28:57Speaker 1: And and again if he doesn't and he doesn't go
- 29:00Speaker 1: onto the field, and you know, then shame on him.
- 29:03Speaker 1: But I don't think they'll lap or he's hurt or
- 29:05Speaker 1: is it? It could be absolutely right, right, But if
- 29:09Speaker 1: he's not hurt and doesn't run out, then and that's
- 29:12Speaker 1: a different thing altogether. And and that won't help him
- 29:15Speaker 1: in all this stuff and what he ultimately wants. So alright,
- 29:20Speaker 1: next question at real Steve Hasson, this is a name
- 29:24Speaker 1: we haven't heard from in a while. What are your
- 29:26Speaker 1: thoughts on how the linebackers have been performing without Telvin Smith.
- 29:30Speaker 1: Imagine that that's in this calendar year two, everything that's
- 29:33Speaker 1: going on in this season, we forget that the Telvin
- 29:36Speaker 1: Smith's out of here anymore. Is there a are there
- 29:39Speaker 1: a bunch of fake Steve Hasson's out there that I
- 29:41Speaker 1: guess is that just this is like the Ohio State,
- 29:47Speaker 1: all these rampant, fraudulent Steve Hansen's out there. Hasson, I'm sorry,
- 29:52Speaker 1: he uh, I ain't. They're fine without Telvin Smith. Linebackers
- 29:56Speaker 1: are playing fine. Brion Jacob's played perhaps the best game
- 29:59Speaker 1: of his where the other it's it's a different position.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Quincy Williams, he he can run, he can hit, he
- 30:06Speaker 1: can chase the ball. I said all off season. I
- 30:10Speaker 1: think Telvin is a good player, made impact plays. But
- 30:13Speaker 1: out of the many defensive players in this team who
- 30:16Speaker 1: are key, although he was maybe the six or seventh
- 30:18Speaker 1: guy on a list of players, they couldn't afford to lose.
- 30:21Speaker 1: And and I'm not trying to criticize Telvin. It's just
- 30:23Speaker 1: that the defensive line is so important on this team.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Jal and a j Boy, even Miles Key positions weak
- 30:29Speaker 1: side linebacker. If you can run, hit, and chase and
- 30:32Speaker 1: listen with the middle linebacker, I can tell you you'll
- 30:35Speaker 1: be okay. And I think Quincy Wims is fine. Yes,
- 30:38Speaker 1: he's been very good. Real Steve hasson't not the fake
- 30:41Speaker 1: one at the real one. Next question at Matt Curly
- 30:45Speaker 1: Riser Jack struggle on the road out west. Why doesn't
- 30:50Speaker 1: the team travel as far in advance as possible to
- 30:52Speaker 1: better acclimate themselves, especially in high altitude locations such as Denver.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Surely they can find an available practice field well, I'll
- 31:00Speaker 1: see this. You know, the Jags are going early to Oakland,
- 31:04Speaker 1: They're going a day early. They sometimes will do the
- 31:06Speaker 1: West Coast, you know, because of the time zones. Fule. Yeah,
- 31:10Speaker 1: I've never heard of going early to Denver though. No,
- 31:12Speaker 1: not tackling a step to out. I guess it wouldn't
- 31:15Speaker 1: be a terrible idea. Uh. Typically, what teams want above
- 31:22Speaker 1: all else is to keep their practice preparation routine for
- 31:29Speaker 1: the players as normal as possible. It's it's why they
- 31:32Speaker 1: try to leave as close to the tame at the
- 31:34Speaker 1: same time on Saturday. Uh. When when they went to
- 31:37Speaker 1: London a few years back, everything was catered to try
- 31:40Speaker 1: to keep that as normal as like home. Uh. So
- 31:44Speaker 1: the thought processes, what can we do to have our
- 31:49Speaker 1: practices be as good as possible in preparation and let
- 31:53Speaker 1: the other things take care of themselves. So that's why
- 31:57Speaker 1: you don't do Denver. I've never heard of Denver. Uh.
- 32:00Speaker 1: And this team really hasn't Uh. I haven't gotten the
- 32:05Speaker 1: idea that they performed poorly into now the Far West
- 32:08Speaker 1: Coast has been a disaster for fifteen years, but Denver
- 32:11Speaker 1: doesn't really fit into that. I don't think that's as
- 32:15Speaker 1: big of an issue going out there. I don't feel
- 32:18Speaker 1: the same passion as the reader. As I asked Calais
- 32:21Speaker 1: in the locker room, yeah, Monday, I guess how real
- 32:25Speaker 1: is the ostitute thing. He's from Colorado, you know, and
- 32:27Speaker 1: he hasn't been in Colorado for a long time. He's
- 32:29Speaker 1: been in Florida, Arizona for a while. Um. He said,
- 32:32Speaker 1: you know, really, it's the first couple of drives of
- 32:35Speaker 1: the game, your sucking wind a little bit, and then
- 32:38Speaker 1: you'll get used to it. You play. Yeah, I at
- 32:40Speaker 1: least that that's his experience. Actually I'm not. It's not JP.
- 32:45Speaker 1: I am not a world class athlete. I'm a world
- 32:48Speaker 1: class other things. But I've twenty five years ago, I
- 32:54Speaker 1: went out there and I was I was running relatively consistently.
- 32:57Speaker 1: I went out, I was in bolder actually do a
- 32:58Speaker 1: story on Tony when you drafted. Went out and the
- 33:01Speaker 1: first hundred steps, like my lungs were collapsing. Uh, And
- 33:06Speaker 1: sure enough they did. Um. Yeah, And it was a
- 33:10Speaker 1: brutal It was a rutal difference. And I had dinner
- 33:13Speaker 1: with Chris Hudson that night. It was also a rookie,
- 33:15Speaker 1: and I told him story and he laughed. He said, yeah,
- 33:17Speaker 1: it's real. But I teams I've been around since then
- 33:22Speaker 1: have not had near the issue. I think when Denver
- 33:25Speaker 1: is really good, there's a huge home field advantage. When
- 33:28Speaker 1: they're not there, Uh, it's not so. I haven't been
- 33:32Speaker 1: around too many teams that have felt that that was
- 33:34Speaker 1: a huge impact at the end of a game. I guess.
- 33:36Speaker 1: I mean, it would be the next closest elevation team
- 33:38Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't even know. Yeah, I mean
- 33:42Speaker 1: and colleges teams out there like Wyoming's higher, but there's
- 33:47Speaker 1: really not anything altitude wise. They compared there a mile
- 33:50Speaker 1: high anything else, anything, there's anything that really know, there's
- 33:54Speaker 1: nothing that close even starts a conversation. Yeah, I don't know.
- 33:58Speaker 1: I don't knowing to google later, maybe we'll look into that.
- 34:01Speaker 1: One final social question at do Good one. I feel
- 34:04Speaker 1: like this may be the best draft class we've had.
- 34:07Speaker 1: How do you feel it stacks up with other drafts?
- 34:09Speaker 1: Um three games in? Well, yeah, we'll take a look
- 34:12Speaker 1: at the draft class too, But what do you think
- 34:16Speaker 1: it's sure? It is sure showing the signs of being
- 34:20Speaker 1: really good three games in. I don't want to be
- 34:23Speaker 1: you know, go overboard with it. But Josh Allen, he
- 34:26Speaker 1: has done nothing to make you think he's not gonna
- 34:27Speaker 1: be a huge star. We haven't seen Josh Allery yet.
- 34:31Speaker 1: John Taylor is fine on the right side. I think
- 34:34Speaker 1: he'd be really good. Um, it'll probably wind up turning
- 34:38Speaker 1: on Minshew, which is what it will do with a quarterback.
- 34:42Speaker 1: You know, if if you look at last year's you
- 34:45Speaker 1: know you started to come on DJ Chart, Tavin Bryan
- 34:49Speaker 1: got a lot of heat, but playing better. Their last
- 34:52Speaker 1: three drafts really having a problem with solid drafts and
- 34:56Speaker 1: and going back to sixteen. So uh, overall it I
- 35:03Speaker 1: would say their last four drafts been very good. This
- 35:05Speaker 1: one if Quincy, if Josh Olivers, what we think he's
- 35:09Speaker 1: gonna be, looks so far like to me very there's
- 35:12Speaker 1: nobody yet that you're thinking, oh, this is gonna go
- 35:15Speaker 1: this is not gonna go. Well. Um, I think it's
- 35:18Speaker 1: got a chance to be very, very good because of
- 35:20Speaker 1: Josh Allen. But it is early. We three games going
- 35:23Speaker 1: into week four of this draft class. There you have
- 35:25Speaker 1: a social questions, right, we're back in a moment. Jimmy Luck,

- 38:24Speaker 1: much I know Chicago. I don't know much about the band.
- 38:27Speaker 1: You know their songs a little bit, but I'm not
- 38:30Speaker 1: from Chicago, so that probably hurts my chances. They originally
- 38:34Speaker 1: Chicago transa really and they had changed because of the
- 38:39Speaker 1: Chicago Transit. Oh they didn't like it. Copyright deal back
- 38:42Speaker 1: it down to Chicago. Thanks for that, appreciate that. Thank
- 38:46Speaker 1: you all kinds of stuff today. So we got a
- 38:49Speaker 1: long road trip coming up. The first off so you know,
- 38:52Speaker 1: a short week in the home game, primetime under the
- 38:55Speaker 1: lights and all that, and players get off. Does the
- 38:58Speaker 1: equipment staff get off over the weekend too? They get away.
- 39:01Speaker 1: We got we got a little bit, we got a
- 39:03Speaker 1: little bit of time off. We did have. We had
- 39:05Speaker 1: some guys coming for treatments, so we were doing a
- 39:07Speaker 1: few things here and there. It was good because it
- 39:09Speaker 1: was slow, so we got some good work done and
- 39:11Speaker 1: and some time off sleeping a little bit, stay up
- 39:14Speaker 1: a little late too. So oh really no, you never
- 39:17Speaker 1: never do that when you go home and you've got
- 39:20Speaker 1: to do more long like your personal laundy. It's just
- 39:21Speaker 1: got an yet it does because it took me all
- 39:23Speaker 1: day Sunday. Even though Peyton Manning is trying to push
- 39:26Speaker 1: for laundry days Tuesday, I did it on Sunday. Okay,
- 39:30Speaker 1: more of this so that long we're stripped to Denver. Um,
- 39:34Speaker 1: what I mean, it's not cold yet in Denver. You
- 39:37Speaker 1: have to worry about that. What do you have to
- 39:39Speaker 1: worry about differently in Denver? Anything besides that? I mean,
- 39:43Speaker 1: it's a grass field, um, so we'll take the screw
- 39:45Speaker 1: ins like we normally have when we anytime we play
- 39:47Speaker 1: on a grass field. Um, it's been pretty warm up there,
- 39:51Speaker 1: so I imagine the at least the reports I've gotten
- 39:53Speaker 1: is the fields in pretty good shape. So, but I
- 39:56Speaker 1: do know the weather can change pretty quick up there. Um.
- 39:59Speaker 1: A couple of years ago when I was in Atlanta.
- 40:00Speaker 1: We went up there and it was probably sixty degrees
- 40:03Speaker 1: that kickoff, and by the time we were getting out
- 40:05Speaker 1: of there, we were having a hustle because it was
- 40:06Speaker 1: starting to snow. So jeez, but that you know, that's
- 40:11Speaker 1: it was a little later in the year. So but
- 40:12Speaker 1: I mean, weather rolls in pretty quick out there. But
- 40:15Speaker 1: you know, we'll take everything we need. You will have
- 40:17Speaker 1: the rain jackets. Hopefully it won't ring, you know, that
- 40:19Speaker 1: would be nice, it would be nice to the rain. Um. Okay,
- 40:22Speaker 1: let's get to it. You're ready to unveil the uniforms.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck, he equipment manager. What will the Jaguars wear Sunday?

- 40:53Speaker 1: with it. He's pretty easy. I mean, he's got them.
- 40:55Speaker 1: He's got a pretty big foot. He's sixteen. But we

- 41:13Speaker 1: good look and look good with a w beside it too.

- 44:40Speaker 1: to go first this week? I went first last week yes,
- 44:43Speaker 1: I will go first, and if you throw up the graphic,
- 44:45Speaker 1: I'll yeah tell people who at one is that d
- 44:49Speaker 1: D Westbrook And I guess I'm not sure after the day. Yeah,
- 44:55Speaker 1: what his injury status is. I'm gonna assume he's gonna
- 44:57Speaker 1: play for this segment. Uh. Probably had his most difficult
- 45:01Speaker 1: game in the NFL since he really got going last week.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Uh No, he didn't play like he wanted to. Um
- 45:09Speaker 1: On think about him. He's got a body of work
- 45:11Speaker 1: that shows you that's not really who he is. He
- 45:14Speaker 1: has not been as productive early in the season as
- 45:17Speaker 1: he would have liked, mainly because they've been going to
- 45:19Speaker 1: d J Chark, going to our guy, Chris Connolly. Uh.
- 45:24Speaker 1: At some point d D is going to take off
- 45:26Speaker 1: and have the same kind of year he did last year, Uh,
- 45:29Speaker 1: if not better. And so when he gets back in
- 45:33Speaker 1: the line of assuming is this week, I think he
- 45:35Speaker 1: will start being more productive than he has been. And
- 45:37Speaker 1: I don't worry about last week affecting moving forward. So
- 45:41Speaker 1: d D was one of those and the other one
- 45:42Speaker 1: you go to the cornerback room. Yeah, and uh, because
- 45:47Speaker 1: everybody's been talking about that Jalen Ramsey so much. I
- 45:50Speaker 1: think it's easy to lose sight. And this isn't really
- 45:52Speaker 1: a matchup thing with Denver so much as uh A
- 45:56Speaker 1: J Boy I thought against the Titans played about as
- 46:00Speaker 1: well as he's played since maybe the regular season of
- 46:04Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen. UM. I don't know what Jalen status
- 46:07Speaker 1: is going to be moving for the rest of the season.
- 46:09Speaker 1: I think it might be a week to week weirdness
- 46:11Speaker 1: kind of thing. Maybe he misses some games because of
- 46:13Speaker 1: the back, maybe it's whatever. But if all of that's
- 46:17Speaker 1: going down the other side, boy A getting back to
- 46:20Speaker 1: what he was in two thousand seventeen and after last year.
- 46:23Speaker 1: I wasn't sure that he would, but he played very
- 46:26Speaker 1: well on Thursday. If he's got to be the lockdown corner.
- 46:30Speaker 1: I don't want to say that he'll be as good
- 46:31Speaker 1: as Jalen on the other side, because that's tough. I mean,
- 46:35Speaker 1: Jalen's other worldly, but a J Boy at his best
- 46:38Speaker 1: was an All Pro in two thousand seventeen. If he
- 46:41Speaker 1: can get to that level, they will feel the Ramsey
- 46:44Speaker 1: thing a lot less than they ordinarily would have. I
- 46:47Speaker 1: think he's gonna be keep moving forward. Okay, you've got
- 46:49Speaker 1: Westbrook and boy here mind. This week, I'm gonna start
- 46:53Speaker 1: with the Jaguars offensive line. I know that's broad, but
- 46:57Speaker 1: they picked the whole defense last week, so I'm narrowing
- 47:00Speaker 1: it down a little bit, at least by six down
- 47:03Speaker 1: to five. Well, you see some of the stats. Last week,
- 47:06Speaker 1: they had eight accepted offensive holding penalties on the offensive
- 47:10Speaker 1: line alone. I believe they're eleven total in the game
- 47:12Speaker 1: on the Jags on the season. For the season, there's
- 47:16Speaker 1: been eleven holding penalties on the Jags as a team,
- 47:19Speaker 1: eight of those accepted on the offensive line. That has
- 47:23Speaker 1: to improve certainly. Um The rush yards per game has
- 47:27Speaker 1: been a topic all week. How do they run the
- 47:29Speaker 1: football effectively? Up front? It starts there on the offensive line.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Can they get that push? Can they make the holes?
- 47:34Speaker 1: Can Leonard find the holes? All that together, but at
- 47:37Speaker 1: least get into the line of scrimmage before contact, that's
- 47:40Speaker 1: all five guys across the front there, and keep him
- 47:44Speaker 1: out of the backfield and continue what you're doing in
- 47:46Speaker 1: past protection. That's what Joan Taylor told me in the
- 47:48Speaker 1: locker room today that hey, we're keeping the quarterback pretty
- 47:51Speaker 1: pretty clean here. It's just a matter of getting that
- 47:53Speaker 1: push in the run game. So that's a big focus
- 47:55Speaker 1: this week for this offense. Some of the holding early on,
- 47:59Speaker 1: I think he got caught up in the wash of
- 48:02Speaker 1: it was way too much league wide. There was a
- 48:04Speaker 1: conference call on on Saturday night and it it came
- 48:07Speaker 1: back down to Earth got in a normal number by Sunday,
- 48:12Speaker 1: So I think some of the holding will take care
- 48:13Speaker 1: of itself. Uh, you gotta run block better. If you
- 48:17Speaker 1: had to choose, you'd rather keep the quarterback clean and
- 48:20Speaker 1: run block because he's a rookie quarterback. But they would
- 48:23Speaker 1: be on the point. I haven't choose. You've got a
- 48:24Speaker 1: run block better than the first in the last two games,
- 48:27Speaker 1: okay against Kansas City. In the last two games they struggled,
- 48:30Speaker 1: has not been good. Then my other one is on
- 48:32Speaker 1: the other side, on the other defensive line and the
- 48:35Speaker 1: defensive line, and he can got quick. You know, you
- 48:38Speaker 1: could feel a little bit last week coming back off
- 48:41Speaker 1: of his first game missed in the National Football League
- 48:44Speaker 1: in week two. He came back last week on Thursday
- 48:46Speaker 1: Night football, and he just didn't have that that finish.
- 48:51Speaker 1: You know. The hamstring I think might have still been
- 48:53Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue. But he wants to
- 48:56Speaker 1: play football and he wants to be on the field
- 48:58Speaker 1: and help this defense out. And I think with considering
- 49:02Speaker 1: who's on the other side this week, a guy that
- 49:04Speaker 1: all these pass rushers look up to and vond Miller,
- 49:06Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to get
- 49:08Speaker 1: out there and play well this week. I think you'd
- 49:10Speaker 1: love to do that. And you see what happens with
- 49:13Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the other when when Allen was out
- 49:15Speaker 1: there playing well. So in Gokway still has everything to
- 49:18Speaker 1: play for. Certainly, Um the contract thing is gone for now,
- 49:22Speaker 1: so he's playing on this deal and he still wants
- 49:26Speaker 1: to be on the field. He's not gonna let an
- 49:27Speaker 1: injury try to slow him down. But this is a
- 49:29Speaker 1: big week for him to see how he can step
- 49:31Speaker 1: back after I think the hammy was still there a
- 49:33Speaker 1: little bit last week. What's your thoughts on Remember he
- 49:37Speaker 1: missed the Houston game, So to think that four days
- 49:41Speaker 1: later the hamstring was automatically gonna percent. You don't go
- 49:45Speaker 1: from not playing to day he played. He get it out.
- 49:49Speaker 1: I the other thing, you know, Um, everybody handles things
- 49:53Speaker 1: how they handle things. But it should be said that
- 49:57Speaker 1: for all the criticism that Yan took for I've been
- 49:59Speaker 1: here there in a t He's not being here during camp.
- 50:01Speaker 1: All the concern or what he would be, what he
- 50:03Speaker 1: wouldn't be. Um when you deal with Yawn and when
- 50:08Speaker 1: you watch him, Uh, if you didn't know there was
- 50:12Speaker 1: a contract thing going on, you wouldn't know there was
- 50:15Speaker 1: a contract thing going on. He is handling it exactly
- 50:20Speaker 1: like a pro handles it. And I'm not saying Jalen
- 50:23Speaker 1: hasn't because so far I haven't seen anything to made
- 50:25Speaker 1: me think that he's not from Jalen's actions, meaning how
- 50:27Speaker 1: well he played last week being there. So I'm not
- 50:31Speaker 1: saying Jalen hasn't done that. But Yon sure has behaved
- 50:34Speaker 1: professionally and approached your professionally. And he always has. I
- 50:38Speaker 1: mean when he first came back. Uh, there's always you know,
- 50:45Speaker 1: Twitter is what it has always wishes. Well, what's he
- 50:47Speaker 1: gonna do? Is he has been you know, nothing but
- 50:50Speaker 1: a pro. You haven't seen anything in him to make
- 50:52Speaker 1: you think that the contracts affected him. Once he got
- 50:55Speaker 1: inside the building, he's Yahn and credit to him. So
- 51:00Speaker 1: your choices this week d D. Westbrook and A j
- 51:04Speaker 1: boy By Choices this week the Jags offensive line and
- 51:10Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive end. Our normal guest host joins us now
- 51:14Speaker 1: Chris Conley, Jaguars wide receiver, and his special guest today,
- 51:18Speaker 1: Jaguars safety Andrew Wingered. Chris, what's up, Good to see you.
- 51:22Speaker 1: How you doing. Welcome to the show, Welcome to your show.
- 51:26Speaker 1: It's good to be here. It's good to be back
- 51:29Speaker 1: and to join you guys again, and to be accompanied
- 51:31Speaker 1: by Thor himself, the man, the myth legend, Andrew Winker.
- 51:36Speaker 1: So this is Thor? Where does store come from? Uh?
- 51:40Speaker 1: Pretty self explanatory. I'm just ask no, no, no. He
- 51:45Speaker 1: does cut his hair though in the new one. So
- 51:47Speaker 1: will you be cutting your hair? I've been thinking about
- 51:50Speaker 1: it on Sam. Really, I would say there is a
- 51:52Speaker 1: there are a lot of fans who are attached to
- 51:54Speaker 1: your hair already. Well, I I kinda screwed myself if
- 51:58Speaker 1: I ever wanted to get a haircut, because I grew
- 52:00Speaker 1: my hair out at Wyoming and I just left it
- 52:03Speaker 1: and now it's this and it's kind of just my
- 52:05Speaker 1: kind of my brand. So um, maybe it gives me
- 52:08Speaker 1: some mystical powers or something, and that's why I've made
- 52:10Speaker 1: it this far. So if I cut it, I would
- 52:12Speaker 1: I would lose all my power, I will say, from
- 52:15Speaker 1: a guy who does not have hair anymore, keep it
- 52:17Speaker 1: as long as you can, for as long as you can.
- 52:20Speaker 1: I've I've heard that. Um, you know, once you cut
- 52:22Speaker 1: it it, you miss it. But we'll see. I don't know. No,
- 52:27Speaker 1: obviously we know why thorpe, but who first came up
- 52:31Speaker 1: with it? It just happened of organically. I think Maron
- 52:34Speaker 1: took credit forward at one point. I think it was
- 52:35Speaker 1: coach Moron. Honestly, well give him credit if he wants.
- 52:38Speaker 1: I've had the most nicknames though I've ever had here. Okay,
- 52:42Speaker 1: it's Thor, do we do? He has been my main nickname.
- 52:46Speaker 1: So I'm either Thor, Dewey or Sunshine, Sune such whatever
- 52:52Speaker 1: you want to call me, and and most a lot
- 52:54Speaker 1: of people call me Andrew too. No one really calls
- 52:56Speaker 1: me by my first name that much, but here I
- 52:59Speaker 1: got those four in it four names here, so it's
- 53:01Speaker 1: a weird and from Usually the only person that calls
- 53:06Speaker 1: me Andrew is my mom when she's like pissed at
- 53:08Speaker 1: me or something. But other than that, yeah, we'll stay
- 53:10Speaker 1: away from that. We'll reserve that for mom. Chris, you
- 53:13Speaker 1: were in a long weekend, right, I mean, so the
- 53:15Speaker 1: short week is can be tough, the quick turnaround for
- 53:18Speaker 1: a game on Thursday night, but you guys played well,
- 53:20Speaker 1: got the win, and then you have a mini by weekend.
- 53:25Speaker 1: You spent your bye weekend at Athens, Georgia. I did
- 53:27Speaker 1: you were signing autographs at the bookstore. Look, yeah, no,
- 53:30Speaker 1: I went back to Athens to check out the dogs
- 53:33Speaker 1: play Notre Dame and they won, not in the fashion
- 53:37Speaker 1: that we really wanted. You know, we wanted more of
- 53:39Speaker 1: a statement game. But you know this, these guys gotta
- 53:42Speaker 1: learn some things. But they got They got some talent,
- 53:44Speaker 1: They got some talent. But it was a good weekend
- 53:45Speaker 1: for us. You know, bye weekends are so much better
- 53:48Speaker 1: after a win, and so you know it's I can't
- 53:52Speaker 1: overstate that. It makes it so much better being able
- 53:55Speaker 1: to go home after you secure a win. But now
- 53:57Speaker 1: we have a long week again where we can get
- 53:59Speaker 1: back to the base as and prepare for another road game.
- 54:02Speaker 1: And you misspoke, you said bye weekend. But that's really
- 54:06Speaker 1: how you guys feel about it, didn't it. I mean, oh, yeah,
- 54:08Speaker 1: I call it a bye weekend for you. That's what
- 54:11Speaker 1: it feels like. Yeah, No, that's what that's pretty much
- 54:13Speaker 1: what most people call it. After a Thursday night game,
- 54:16Speaker 1: they'll call it a bye weekend, just because a lot
- 54:19Speaker 1: of teams will give players, you know, that time off
- 54:22Speaker 1: to go see family, get their bodies right, and get
- 54:26Speaker 1: prepared for another week. You get a bonus day sometimes,
- 54:28Speaker 1: but yeah, by weekend. Now. I talked to you late
- 54:31Speaker 1: Thursday after the game, asked you about the injury, and
- 54:35Speaker 1: you weren't sure. It sounds like you've gotten better news
- 54:37Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, you know, I'm in a good place.
- 54:40Speaker 1: I feel good right now, just listening to the doctors
- 54:42Speaker 1: and the staff, and uh, I'm gonna do what they
- 54:44Speaker 1: tell me, trust them and hopefully be ready for Sunday.
- 54:47Speaker 1: Andrew thor I'll see you. The nicknames, there's two or
- 54:50Speaker 1: three others. Um, so let's go with Dewey. Do we
- 54:53Speaker 1: go with Dewey? If you? If you will? How are
- 54:56Speaker 1: you holding up so far? I mean, you're a rookie
- 54:58Speaker 1: in the NFL, you made the team, You're contributing on
- 55:01Speaker 1: special teams, You're getting some defensive snaps. How are you
- 55:04Speaker 1: holding up? How are you playing so far? I think
- 55:06Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Um, I'm just enjoying all this, you know,
- 55:09Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not getting too high, not getting too low.
- 55:12Speaker 1: Just being able to go out and make plays, help
- 55:15Speaker 1: the team out, get some turnovers, uh, set up the offense.
- 55:18Speaker 1: That's That's what I'm trying to do. I'm not I
- 55:19Speaker 1: guess I'm not trying to do too much. I'm just
- 55:21Speaker 1: going out and doing my job and when plays come
- 55:23Speaker 1: my way, you know, go make him. So I think
- 55:25Speaker 1: you bless That is such a good answer. That is
- 55:30Speaker 1: such a good like, I'm proud of you. I didn't
- 55:34Speaker 1: even brief him on that before coming in here. That's
- 55:36Speaker 1: a great answer. But you can tell that that's the
- 55:38Speaker 1: way that he approaches the game each day in practice,
- 55:41Speaker 1: the way that he approaches each of his plays out
- 55:43Speaker 1: there on the field. There's not a lot of opportunities,
- 55:45Speaker 1: but he's making the most of them. And you know,
- 55:47Speaker 1: you're you're no stranger. You're no stranger to Colorado because
- 55:52Speaker 1: that's where you played your high school football and so
- 55:55Speaker 1: you've you've dealt with altitude and you've dealt with you know,
- 55:59Speaker 1: the things that they say could hamper football players. What
- 56:02Speaker 1: do you think is necessary for guys going from the
- 56:05Speaker 1: beach two mile high? I actually Wyoming was worse than
- 56:11Speaker 1: Denver was Wyoming was set. So here's the thing. I honestly,
- 56:17Speaker 1: I really don't think the altitude really affects guys that
- 56:20Speaker 1: much because we played now nothing affects him because San Diego,
- 56:27Speaker 1: we played San Diego State, Fresno State. When I played
- 56:30Speaker 1: at Wyoming and they all came up and they were fine.
- 56:33Speaker 1: They beat us. So but um, I just think you know,
- 56:39Speaker 1: the beat juices big time. Just the like they were talking,
- 56:42Speaker 1: Coach Maron was talking about iron levels, stuff like that.
- 56:45Speaker 1: Making sure you know the oxygen's in the blood and
- 56:48Speaker 1: just stay hydrated. Stay hydrated is huge. Um. You know
- 56:51Speaker 1: when I was working out at Exos out in California
- 56:54Speaker 1: for my for the combine stuff, and I went back
- 56:56Speaker 1: to Laramie for my pro day and I could definitely
- 56:58Speaker 1: feel it. Um you know, I isn't it definitely wasn't
- 57:01Speaker 1: hydrating enough. So as long as you stay hydrated and
- 57:03Speaker 1: uh you know, in through the nose out through the mouth,
- 57:06Speaker 1: I don't think it really affects people as much as
- 57:09Speaker 1: they say. So now are you caught up? And what
- 57:13Speaker 1: I'm sure you refer to as roommate mania. This has
- 57:17Speaker 1: been crazy, not only for just Gardner. But for me
- 57:20Speaker 1: and Mike Walkers, our other roommate, Like Gardner has packages
- 57:24Speaker 1: coming in every day with just random stuff, and he's
- 57:27Speaker 1: like throwing clothes and hats on my bed like, hey
- 57:30Speaker 1: hey man, everyone's sending me all this free stuff. You
- 57:32Speaker 1: want something like, uh, absolutely I do. So it's been crazy, though,
- 57:36Speaker 1: is the getting the way of the pile of free
- 57:38Speaker 1: stuff that you're receiving is that I wouldn't say I'm
- 57:40Speaker 1: getting as much free stuff as Gardener, but get it. Yeah,
- 57:44Speaker 1: I'll So it's been crazy though. Like we were after
- 57:48Speaker 1: the game on Thursday, we were just hanging out and
- 57:50Speaker 1: checking Gardeners Instagram and within like you check it every
- 57:54Speaker 1: hour and he's gaining like ten thousand new followers, like
- 57:57Speaker 1: every thirty minutes. You wake up the next day, it's
- 57:59Speaker 1: like the thousand followers. It's crazy. But it's been super cool,
- 58:02Speaker 1: just because I played against Gardner in college. Um came
- 58:06Speaker 1: through an O t as. He was one of the
- 58:07Speaker 1: first friends I made. And you know, he was a
- 58:09Speaker 1: six round you know, six round late round you know,
- 58:12Speaker 1: undrafted guys. You know you kind of you know, sure
- 58:14Speaker 1: a bond together, like hey man, we we're gonna make
- 58:17Speaker 1: it you don't know, um, and he's just kind of
- 58:19Speaker 1: to see him go from you know, kind of the
- 58:22Speaker 1: you know, backup six round late guy to where he's
- 58:25Speaker 1: at right now has been super cool. And I guess
- 58:27Speaker 1: is he hasn't changed a big none OF's like the
- 58:29Speaker 1: kind of guy completely unaffected by it. And you can
- 58:30Speaker 1: speak to this unaffected and I think that's what will
- 58:33Speaker 1: help him so much. Is he's not, like I said,
- 58:35Speaker 1: he's not getting too high just even kiel and I
- 58:38Speaker 1: think watched that a little bit. Hey has the young
- 58:41Speaker 1: kid responding to it? Yeah, because I mean it seems okay.
- 58:44Speaker 1: I've seen guys get get that and it can go
- 58:47Speaker 1: a completely opposite way. But I think has done a
- 58:50Speaker 1: really good job of remembering what got him there and
- 58:52Speaker 1: remembering that work ethic and uh, staying consistent, you know,
- 58:55Speaker 1: coming to work every day and not letting the media
- 58:58Speaker 1: attention and the attention of everyone else outside affect the
- 59:01Speaker 1: way that he works in this building. You know, he
- 59:03Speaker 1: still is probably the most humble guy in that huddle
- 59:07Speaker 1: because he knows he's he still knows he's rookie, and
- 59:10Speaker 1: I think that that's awesome. You know, he can he
- 59:12Speaker 1: can take command of the huddle, call a play and
- 59:14Speaker 1: say hey, this is what we need to do, but
- 59:15Speaker 1: at the same time still have the humility to say, hey,
- 59:18Speaker 1: help me. And I think that's awesome. How did you
- 59:22Speaker 1: do against Gardner in college? By the way, uh, he
- 59:25Speaker 1: torched us. I'm not gonna lie to because we went
- 59:28Speaker 1: into the game. It was his first game. He was
- 59:30Speaker 1: a transfer from East Carolina, and we're going in like, oh,
- 59:34Speaker 1: they gotta they got a grad transfer quarterback. We know
- 59:37Speaker 1: they're going to run air ade, you know, michae Leach offense.
- 59:40Speaker 1: Let's let's let's go get after this guy. And it
- 59:42Speaker 1: was the crazy thing is it was like twenty to
- 59:44Speaker 1: nineteen with like eight minutes left to go in the game,
- 59:47Speaker 1: and we ended up losing, Like Gardner, just Gardner, just
- 59:52Speaker 1: so I definitely gained. You know, I I respect all
- 59:55Speaker 1: the guys I play against, but I'm not gonna lie.
- 59:56Speaker 1: I went into that game like, all right, let's go,
- 59:59Speaker 1: let's let's get some picks on this guy and get
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: him rattled stuff like that. But he's a he's a
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: really good player. Not gonna lie to you. He and
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: I think that's how some of these other teams, um,
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: you know, you don't. You don't look at a quarterback that's,
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: you know, six foot whatever and say, oh, you know
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: this guy, this guy ain't anything. And that's I think,
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: how how he's had so much success. Obviously he's a
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: really good player, but he's getting people by surprise for sure,
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: and he's he's getting in that respect that he deserves.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Final thoughts here, guys, A big game coming up. I mean,
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: this is a team still with some confidence, certainly with
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: some confidence now after a win on Thursday night football
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: against the division rival one and two. Records go on
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: a couple of time zones west up in the altitude
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: a little bit. But now looking at I don't know
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: how far you look ahead on the schedule. I know
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: you're gonna be gonna say game to game, week to week.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: I honestly have no idea who we play next after Denver. Yeah,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: I know. I honestly, like have not looked at his schedule. Um,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: I typically don't, uh and I don't really get excited
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: excited for anything. Everybody's like, oh, how did you like
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Circle Kansas City on the calendar? Yeah, because they were
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: the first game, But like there's I honestly don't know
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: who we play next. I don't really care. I know
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: that Denver is a team that has a lot of pride.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: That's an organization that has a lot of pride. They've
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: won football games, they've won championships, and they know how
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: to bounce back, and that confidence is still there, and
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: so we can't take this game lightly in any respect.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: You know, both teams are gaining some confidence right now
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: moving forward. Both teams have stellar defenses. Both teams have
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: offensives that are making adjustments, and so I think this
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: is a great test for us going up against the
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: program with that kind of tradition. I love. It should
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: be a great game on Sunday in Denver. Good to
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: see you guys, Andrew Thor Dewey, thanks for having me,
