- 0:38Speaker 3: JP Shadwick, Jeff Laghman. The Jaguars and the Steelers coming
- 0:42Speaker 3: up Sunday Atkrischer Stadium at the Confluence in Pittsburgh, where
- 0:47Speaker 3: the Jaguars historically have fared well. It's a physical matchup
- 0:50Speaker 3: as always, Jaguars health is a question mark this week,
- 0:55Speaker 3: and we'll hear from the head coach, Doug Peterson, joining
- 0:57Speaker 3: us at five o'clock on the Doug Peterson Show on
- 1:00Speaker 3: the Jaguars Radio Network. We'll hear it from the horse's
- 1:03Speaker 3: mouth and see what he has to say about the
- 1:06Speaker 3: Jaguars health coming out of the mini bye week. Well,
- 1:10Speaker 3: Jeff Loghman, good afternoon. What's up man, afternoon? How was
- 1:13Speaker 3: your mini bye Good? Good? You refreshed, relaxed, ready for Yeah,
- 1:18Speaker 3: the other game. I'll get even more refreshed during the
- 1:21Speaker 3: bye week as well. The players, right, yeah, you look,
- 1:24Speaker 3: I think it's a player it's always tough to play
- 1:26Speaker 3: on a Thursday night. But then of course the added
- 1:28Speaker 3: benefit the other side of that is that you get
- 1:30Speaker 3: more rest prior to the next game. Now, you hope
- 1:33Speaker 3: that they took advantage of that because the defense was
- 1:36Speaker 3: on the field I think for about eighty seven snaps
- 1:38Speaker 3: a lot, and so I think, you know, the weekend,
- 1:42Speaker 3: I hope that they took the time to get off
- 1:44Speaker 3: their feet, get treatment, get you know, rest, get massage, therapy,
- 1:50Speaker 3: whatever that every player uses to kind of get their
- 1:54Speaker 3: their body back and rejuvenate it. Because this is a
- 1:57Speaker 3: big game, and it's a big game for a lot
- 1:58Speaker 3: of reasons, but most importantly, you always want to go
- 2:00Speaker 3: into the bye week with a win. Sure, and you know,
- 2:04Speaker 3: they're not scared again of talking about what the future
- 2:07Speaker 3: could hold in the AFC and what this game could
- 2:10Speaker 3: mean when it comes down to seeding, time, and you know,
- 2:14Speaker 3: head to head matchups, they know what this is an
- 2:17Speaker 3: AFC team that's four and two the Steelers. Yeah, they
- 2:20Speaker 3: may not be the powerhouse of some other teams statistically,
- 2:23Speaker 3: but they're four and two in it is JP. They're
- 2:26Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steeler. That's right. Okay, Yeah, that's I think
- 2:29Speaker 3: the beginning part of that conversation. I think it's a
- 2:31Speaker 3: little early to start talk about seeding and all that
- 2:34Speaker 3: kind of stuff because I think from a player standpoint,
- 2:37Speaker 3: it's better to not think about a lot of that,
- 2:39Speaker 3: even though it may be on the back of people's
- 2:43Speaker 3: minds because hey, look, you know you're like, hey, look,
- 2:45Speaker 3: you know, what's Kansas City doing? What's the other top
- 2:48Speaker 3: teams in the AFC doing? But you can't have that mindset.
- 2:52Speaker 3: I think the mindset has to be, look, let's just
- 2:54Speaker 3: let's just play this game and we'll let all of
- 2:56Speaker 3: that stuff kind of take care of stuff, because otherwise
- 2:59Speaker 3: it's a distract and it's attention that's getting put on
- 3:02Speaker 3: something that really you can't control, because the only thing
- 3:05Speaker 3: you can control is your performance and whether you're going
- 3:07Speaker 3: to be able to try to win or try to lose.
- 3:09Speaker 3: So I'm not a big fan of looking at that
- 3:12Speaker 3: so much. But this is a big game for a
- 3:14Speaker 3: lot of reasons, and most importantly because you know, when
- 3:17Speaker 3: this franchise was born, the Pittsburgh Steelers were the measuring stick,
- 3:20Speaker 3: you know, and I was a part of that, and
- 3:22Speaker 3: we always looked at the Pittsburgh Steelers as the team
- 3:26Speaker 3: that we wanted to beat because we felt that if
- 3:30Speaker 3: you had if you're going to be the best, you
- 3:32Speaker 3: got to beat the best. And at that time in
- 3:35Speaker 3: the AFC Central, the Pittsburgh Steelers were the team to beat.
- 3:39Speaker 3: And so I think there's a lot of history there.
- 3:41Speaker 3: You know, a lot of these guys today probably don't
- 3:43Speaker 3: realize it, but I can guarantee you one thing, the
- 3:46Speaker 3: players of today understand the aura around the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 3:51Speaker 3: I think Trevor Lawrence actually talked about it earlier this
- 3:53Speaker 3: week and use that exact term, So even younger players
- 3:56Speaker 3: understand what playing the Pittsburgh Steelers is like. This franchise,
- 4:01Speaker 3: at least in recent history, has fared well in games
- 4:05Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh since the ninety nine season, Including that year,
- 4:09Speaker 3: the Jaguars have won seven of the last nine games
- 4:13Speaker 3: they've played in Pittsburgh, including two playoff games. So now
- 4:17Speaker 3: you take those good football teams have paired up against
- 4:20Speaker 3: Pittsburgh when they've had good football teams in Jacksonville. So
- 4:23Speaker 3: that's part of it. Good football travels even to Pittsburgh. True,
- 4:28Speaker 3: and look the Jaguars again because of the way that
- 4:34Speaker 3: this franchise was born, always had a little extra attention
- 4:39Speaker 3: on the Pittsburgh Steelers. And you go back to and
- 4:42Speaker 3: I remember this the Monday night football game in Jacksonville
- 4:45Speaker 3: where Chris Hutchon gets the interception and Bill Kauer kind
- 4:49Speaker 3: of throws the fake punch as he's going down the sideline.
- 4:53Speaker 3: That was we split the games with the Pittsburgh Steelers
- 4:56Speaker 3: going all the way back to the very first and
- 4:58Speaker 3: all your year nineteen ninety five, which was a big deal,
- 5:01Speaker 3: and it seemed I think the first four years we
- 5:04Speaker 3: split every game with this Pittsburgh Steeler organization, which was
- 5:08Speaker 3: considered one of the best in the National Football League,
- 5:11Speaker 3: and so we were trying to establish ourselves as one
- 5:14Speaker 3: of the best with Tom Kaughlin at the helm. So
- 5:18Speaker 3: I think that mindset will always stay there, and there's
- 5:21Speaker 3: a lot of history between these two teams. There's playoff history.
- 5:24Speaker 3: There's regular season history, there's divisional history. It's a shame
- 5:28Speaker 3: it was lost in the realignment, I think in a
- 5:31Speaker 3: lot of ways. But but I'm looking forward to this game.
- 5:34Speaker 3: You know, the weather conditions are a little, you know,
- 5:37Speaker 3: a little iffy. Okay, that's the that's the international sound
- 5:43Speaker 3: for iffy. Thank you good. I didn't know. Jack's vancelo

- 5:54Speaker 3: JP Shadwick, Jeff Loglan. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. We'll get
- 5:58Speaker 3: to the Steelers coming up just a little bit to
- 6:01Speaker 3: all of their fairly new pieces on offense and defense.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Was one of the best players in the National Football
- 6:09Speaker 3: League and TJ. Watt. But let's start with this Jaguars
- 6:12Speaker 3: offense trying to find full health. Walker Little and Jay
- 6:17Speaker 3: Jones are the names that really pop up first glance
- 6:21Speaker 3: on this offense that have not been available recently. So
- 6:25Speaker 3: what do you think this week? Well, I would like
- 6:29Speaker 3: to think that you can get both of these guys back.
- 6:32Speaker 3: But here's the thing with all injured players when you
- 6:36Speaker 3: have a bye week, sitting there the next week. In
- 6:41Speaker 3: some cases, I think you're more apt to be a
- 6:44Speaker 3: little bit conservative because you sit there and you go, Okay, look,
- 6:48Speaker 3: if we can get through this week, and we got
- 6:50Speaker 3: through last week without some guys, if we can get
- 6:52Speaker 3: through this week, then player X, Y and Z are
- 6:56Speaker 3: going to get that extra time. And we know if
- 6:58Speaker 3: they get that extra week, they're definitely gonna be completely healed,
- 7:03Speaker 3: as opposed to having it continue to nag and maybe
- 7:07Speaker 3: they're gonna have a setback and then all of a sudden,
- 7:09Speaker 3: maybe they go back on the injury list and to
- 7:11Speaker 3: miss some time. And so I think the bye week
- 7:14Speaker 3: makes it a little bit more appealing to approach things
- 7:18Speaker 3: on the conservative side. I don't know if that's going
- 7:21Speaker 3: to be the case or not, because I think a
- 7:23Speaker 3: lot of decisions are going to be made based on okay, Kenny,
- 7:25Speaker 3: player can hey not play? But I think that changes
- 7:29Speaker 3: the mindset, and it's probably human nature more than anything else.
- 7:32Speaker 3: In some cases, it's probably not even intentional, but I
- 7:35Speaker 3: think you're just naturally a little bit more shy about
- 7:38Speaker 3: being aggressive knowing that you have that extra week sitting
- 7:41Speaker 3: there as a possibility we'll get to the full injury
- 7:43Speaker 3: report coming up whenever it comes out. It was around
- 7:47Speaker 3: this time yesterday when it came out, in fact, exactly
- 7:50Speaker 3: twenty four hours to the minute yesterday. We'll see how
- 7:53Speaker 3: soon it comes out today. We'll get to that coming
- 7:55Speaker 3: up later in the Jaguars Happy Hour Jaguars Defense logs.
- 8:00Speaker 3: They found away last week. You mentioned the eighty seven plays,
- 8:03Speaker 3: took all eighty seven of the certainly did. And it
- 8:06Speaker 3: took a drop on the eighty sixth play by the
- 8:08Speaker 3: tight end to give them the eighty seventh play and
- 8:10Speaker 3: the fourth down stop either way. Yeah, but you know
- 8:12Speaker 3: what I got there. Ten years from now, nobody's going
- 8:16Speaker 3: to remember that drop now. Now, Foster Morow will certainly
- 8:20Speaker 3: remember that. He might be about the only one. But hey,
- 8:24Speaker 3: they found a way. They're fourth against the run. That's
- 8:27Speaker 3: to a man. That's what they say is the number
- 8:29Speaker 3: one priority every single week because it sets up everything
- 8:31Speaker 3: else they want to do. They want to plug up
- 8:34Speaker 3: the run game, and they've done that this year, sets
- 8:36Speaker 3: up the takeaway game where they're number one in the
- 8:38Speaker 3: NFL sixteen takeaways this year. So it's a defense finding
- 8:42Speaker 3: away week after week, even though they're out there for
- 8:45Speaker 3: so long and giving up yards late and give it
- 8:47Speaker 3: up fifteen point lead. You know they're they're finding a way. Well,
- 8:51Speaker 3: it's bullyball, and that's the turn that the players have used.
- 8:56Speaker 3: Andre Cisco used it a while back, and I think
- 8:59Speaker 3: we've heard other player is echo that same thing. And
- 9:01Speaker 3: maybe that's part of the coach speak that Mike Caldwell,
- 9:05Speaker 3: who's doing a fantastic job, maybe he uses that term.
- 9:08Speaker 3: But the reality is is that it's working right now
- 9:10Speaker 3: for this defense. They're doing a really good job against
- 9:13Speaker 3: the run, and I think it's helping them in a
- 9:16Speaker 3: great fashion. And if you'll remember JP, going all the
- 9:19Speaker 3: way back before the season started, we were talking about
- 9:21Speaker 3: what can we expect to see from this defense and
- 9:24Speaker 3: what do we expect it to look like? And I
- 9:26Speaker 3: said at the time that I believe that this defense,
- 9:29Speaker 3: if they're going to be good, they've got to be
- 9:31Speaker 3: really good against the run, because I felt that they
- 9:34Speaker 3: had some shortcomings in past defense and in order to
- 9:39Speaker 3: give themselves the best opportunity as a pass defense, they
- 9:43Speaker 3: needed to be jam up against the run. And right
- 9:45Speaker 3: now that's exactly what they've been doing. They've been solid
- 9:49Speaker 3: and give a lot of credit to obviously Foyer Lucan
- 9:52Speaker 3: who is having a tremendous year, but Faticasi has also
- 9:56Speaker 3: been a big boost. And if you go back to
- 9:59Speaker 3: last year, he was hurt and he wasn't available. Well,
- 10:03Speaker 3: this year he's a big part of what they're doing,
- 10:05Speaker 3: which credit him because he came out of the preseason
- 10:08Speaker 3: with that foot injury that he had sustained against the
- 10:10Speaker 3: Detroit Lions and the joint practices, and then he's been back.
- 10:14Speaker 3: He's been playing strong, he's been eating up two guys
- 10:17Speaker 3: and I don't think enough can be said for him.
- 10:22Speaker 3: And he's in that kind of forgotten role. He's, you know,
- 10:24Speaker 3: one of them big pluggers on the inside, takes up
- 10:26Speaker 3: two blocks a lot of times, and there's a reason
- 10:28Speaker 3: why you can see twenty three and thirty three that
- 10:30Speaker 3: are running around pretty quickly and doing a really good job.
- 10:33Speaker 3: And so I mean, I credit him. And it looks
- 10:36Speaker 3: like this team may have a chance of getting to
- 10:38Speaker 3: Von Hamilton back this week or after the bye week.
- 10:40Speaker 3: I mean, he practiced full all last week leading into
- 10:43Speaker 3: the Thursday game. He didn't play, of course, was not available,
- 10:46Speaker 3: so we'll see what happens. Well. I love that could
- 10:49Speaker 3: change everything too. I think that look, I think Roy
- 10:53Speaker 3: can take Roy robertson Harris Big Roy. I think Roy
- 10:55Speaker 3: can take his game up another level. He's been really
- 10:59Speaker 3: good at times, but I think he can get the
- 11:01Speaker 3: consistency up a little bit better. And then you have Fotokosi,
- 11:04Speaker 3: who has been a big boost with his availability and
- 11:07Speaker 3: his performance this year. I also wanted to point out
- 11:10Speaker 3: one of the guy, Angel Blackson. I think he's done
- 11:11Speaker 3: a really good job. And yeah, he came in. It
- 11:14Speaker 3: was like late, who is this guy? Yeah, and he's
- 11:16Speaker 3: been around the league for a while. It's not like
- 11:18Speaker 3: he's some rookie. He was like nine years nine years
- 11:21Speaker 3: and he's an Auburn guy. I know you're you know,
- 11:23Speaker 3: you're one so fuzzy. He was on the field for
- 11:26Speaker 3: the kick six, the classic play in the old game
- 11:29Speaker 3: Iron Bowl game. That's I think Adam Goatzis has got
- 11:32Speaker 3: to play a little bit better than what he's been doing.
- 11:35Speaker 3: But if you can get to Von Hamilton back, Smooth's
- 11:38Speaker 3: been back, got his first sack, you know, back from
- 11:41Speaker 3: the Achilles injury. Congratulations to him. He I think hit
- 11:45Speaker 3: the jump that he took from UH from the game
- 11:49Speaker 3: before to last week was significant. So I mean all
- 11:52Speaker 3: of those things are encouraging, but to get back to
- 11:55Speaker 3: the original point, this team's got to continue to play
- 11:58Speaker 3: bully ball for them to have a chance to win.
- 12:00Speaker 3: The Pittsburgh Steelers are not great running the football, and
- 12:03Speaker 3: I know that they've got a Roll Todd running back, okay,
- 12:07Speaker 3: but I'm not very impressed by him. I think they're
- 12:10Speaker 3: not a very good running team. And if you can
- 12:13Speaker 3: negate that put a lot of pressure on a very
- 12:15Speaker 3: young quarterback. I think he got a great opportunity for success.
- 12:18Speaker 3: We'll dig deeper into the Pittsburgh Steelers personnel coming up.
- 12:21Speaker 3: In just a moment four thirty. Kay Stevens will join
- 12:24Speaker 3: us in studio. We'll get her thoughts on the week
- 12:27Speaker 3: that has happened around the Miller Electric Center heading into
- 12:30Speaker 3: this Steelers matchup five o'clock. It's the Doug Peterson Show.
- 12:34Speaker 3: The head coach in studio with us will pick his brain.
- 12:37Speaker 3: We're gonna ask the tough questions you always do the
- 12:40Speaker 3: head coach and get his mindset on this Week eight
- 12:45Speaker 3: matchup the Jaguars and the Pittsburgh Steelers, a big matchup
- 12:48Speaker 3: in the AFC. We're on tenjin XL ninety two point

- 13:50Speaker 3: great thing is about it is that you can get

- 14:02Speaker 3: cool option. Yes. I mean, if if you were not
- 14:06Speaker 3: working on Sundays, correct, would you not have the NFL
- 14:10Speaker 3: ticket Tonny ticket? I would probably have some version of
- 14:13Speaker 3: that or just watch the red Zone. Yeah, red Zone
- 14:17Speaker 3: it's pretty cool. I don't like that jumping around stuff.
- 14:21Speaker 3: I want to watch a game, but then you're gonna
- 14:23Speaker 3: miss all the other games. I watched the highlights later on.
- 14:27Speaker 3: If I'm watching the highlights live on red Zone, you
- 14:29Speaker 3: know the one thing I do miss, I will say this.
- 14:31Speaker 3: I can't wait for this. And it was Chris Berman
- 14:36Speaker 3: and uh the linebacker for the Broncos Jackson, Tom Jackson.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Tom Jackson, I used to did you not love that?
- 14:45Speaker 2: What?
- 14:45Speaker 3: That awesome? Yeah? Did you watch it? He does it
- 14:48Speaker 3: with Booger McFarlane. Now who does Chris? Yeah? Really on ESPN,
- 14:54Speaker 3: I think it's like ESPN Plus, but they do a
- 14:56Speaker 3: version of Okay, yeah, yeah, I mean that was with that.
- 14:59Speaker 3: It was that was with Tom Jackson. It was awesome.
- 15:02Speaker 3: Tom Jackson first of all, was fantastic. Yeah, great opinion,
- 15:06Speaker 3: great insight. Of course, permanent is fantastic. But I used
- 15:10Speaker 3: to love watching those two guys on Monday Night. That
- 15:12Speaker 3: was my source of highlights. Now I watched the NFL
- 15:16Speaker 3: network to get my highlights. Good place to go. Yeah,
- 15:19Speaker 3: and of course you do. I mean nowadays, I mean
- 15:21Speaker 3: you got a phone in your pockets. You can get
- 15:23Speaker 3: highlights anywhere you want instantly in fact, for that, and yeah,
- 15:27Speaker 3: there is that for that any but literally you can
- 15:29Speaker 3: go to YouTube now and just type in, like, for example,
- 15:34Speaker 3: during the week, I'll watch the highlights of the previous
- 15:37Speaker 3: game of the opponent that's coming up, Like I watched
- 15:40Speaker 3: the highlights from the Pittsburgh Seelers in the Rams game,
- 15:43Speaker 3: and I'll watch the highlights before I delve into the film,
- 15:46Speaker 3: just to get an idea of the tempo of the game.
- 15:48Speaker 3: And at what point of the game do you really
- 15:51Speaker 3: want to focus on on where the game changing plays
- 15:54Speaker 3: are made so you can watch them. Well, it's a
- 15:57Speaker 3: great way to do some prep. It's the Internet, man,
- 16:00Speaker 3: an amazing place. It's just a fad though, It's that
- 16:04Speaker 3: what they call that, that inner interweb. Yeah. Great, all right,
- 16:11Speaker 3: let's take a look at these Pittsburgh Steeler Let's start
- 16:13Speaker 3: with Kenny Pickett, I mean, the young quarterback, you know,
- 16:16Speaker 3: the whole thing in the pre draft process, was the
- 16:19Speaker 3: hand size. There's glove things going on in Pittsburgh these days.
- 16:22Speaker 3: They're all about the gloves in his hands. So what's
- 16:25Speaker 3: his deal, what's his story right now? Well, for I mean,
- 16:28Speaker 3: if the only quarterback taken in the first round last year,
- 16:31Speaker 3: right I believe it was the only quarterback that was
- 16:34Speaker 3: taken in last year's draft, which was surprising given the
- 16:37Speaker 3: importance of the position. And at least I think that's
- 16:41Speaker 3: the case. I like him as far as he seems
- 16:48Speaker 3: to have command. He seems to command the huddle, he
- 16:51Speaker 3: seems to play with confidence, but the performance is not
- 16:54Speaker 3: there yet. But then again, if you were to go
- 16:57Speaker 3: and look at Trevor Lawrence in a year two, it
- 16:58Speaker 3: wasn't quite there yet in the second year until about
- 17:02Speaker 3: the midway point where things started to get better. Correct.
- 17:05Speaker 3: I mean, so, I think it's a little bit early
- 17:08Speaker 3: to have a decision made on Kenny Pickett whether or
- 17:12Speaker 3: not he's gonna be a franchise guy or not. I
- 17:14Speaker 3: like some things that he's doing. He makes some really
- 17:17Speaker 3: nice rows this pass game, and in some previous games
- 17:21Speaker 3: this year, he did a really good job of bringing
- 17:23Speaker 3: them back into the ballgame and winning, which is a
- 17:27Speaker 3: positive sign because it takes a lot of moxie to
- 17:29Speaker 3: lead a team back when they're down, to lead them
- 17:32Speaker 3: to victory Layton ball games, So that part of it.
- 17:34Speaker 3: I think he is has a real strong point to
- 17:38Speaker 3: his game, but consistently, I think there's still some things
- 17:44Speaker 3: left to be desired. And I think he's got a
- 17:46Speaker 3: really good wide receiver group. I mean the two wide
- 17:48Speaker 3: receivers that scare me are Deontay Johnson and George Pickens.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Johnson's been out a little bit, He's kind of getting
- 17:55Speaker 3: back into it. This past game JP. He was really good. Yeah,
- 17:59Speaker 3: and he got one huge play taken away from him
- 18:02Speaker 3: because of a It was a blind side block by
- 18:06Speaker 3: Pickens on a film and I'm going, Pickens, what are
- 18:09Speaker 3: you doing? You know you can't do that. I mean,
- 18:11Speaker 3: you just got a shield the guy. But he whacked
- 18:14Speaker 3: one of the defensive backs of the La Rams, I
- 18:16Speaker 3: mean whacked him, and I was like, you can't do that,
- 18:19Speaker 3: But it took away I think it was about a
- 18:22Speaker 3: thirty forty yard player. More on the Deontay Johnson had
- 18:26Speaker 3: and that hurt the Pittsburgh Steels tremendously, and Mike Tomlin
- 18:29Speaker 3: actually talked about the penalties after that game and said
- 18:35Speaker 3: that we need to start understanding the flow and the
- 18:38Speaker 3: ebb of the game based on the way that the
- 18:40Speaker 3: officials are calling it, because he felt like they were
- 18:43Speaker 3: playing or calling it pretty closely in that ball game.
- 18:45Speaker 3: And he said, when and that's the case, we need
- 18:47Speaker 3: to adjust and we need to make sure that we're
- 18:49Speaker 3: playing clean. But those two receivers scare me more than anything.
- 18:53Speaker 3: That young quarterback is still young. Pickens is about six
- 18:58Speaker 3: foot three, round two hundred pounds. It's really good in
- 19:01Speaker 3: contested balls down the boundary on the sideline like he's
- 19:05Speaker 3: he can go up and make plays and then get
- 19:07Speaker 3: his feet down. He he has And you know, I
- 19:11Speaker 3: saw that Doug Peterson's press conference, he said, I believe
- 19:16Speaker 3: it was yesterday. He talked about the back shoulder throws
- 19:19Speaker 3: to Pickens, the contested balls that you're referring to, and
- 19:24Speaker 3: there was a couple of them in this past game.
- 19:26Speaker 3: And George Pickens is so tall that even if it's
- 19:28Speaker 3: a jump ball, even if the defender's playing a back
- 19:31Speaker 3: shoulder throw, that Pickens can still make the play. And
- 19:35Speaker 3: Pickens is excellent. I mean, you go from the numbers out,
- 19:38Speaker 3: he's excellent. Okay. He starts to creep inside the numbers
- 19:41Speaker 3: a little bit to the hash marks. Okay, JP, it
- 19:44Speaker 3: gets a little loud in there. Okay. What I mean
- 19:47Speaker 3: by a little bit loud is that there's some dudes
- 19:49Speaker 3: that are in there. Okay, that by the name of
- 19:51Speaker 3: Kareem Jackson. He used his name to accentuate the one
- 19:57Speaker 3: end of the spectrum. Okay, But there's a lot of
- 20:00Speaker 3: physicality that exists between the numbers. Those guys have bad intentions,
- 20:03Speaker 3: is what you're saying. Yes, okay, And I don't get
- 20:06Speaker 3: the put it this way. Watching the film, Pickens's arm
- 20:10Speaker 3: length decreases the more to the middle. He goes, what
- 20:16Speaker 3: if there's a stat for that, like analytics say, hey,
- 20:19Speaker 3: he's you know, his arms are four inches longer in
- 20:22Speaker 3: the hash marks than outside or something. I don't know.
- 20:25Speaker 3: I don't know, but I can tell you that watching
- 20:29Speaker 3: the film. And there's nothing wrong with this. Okay. Some
- 20:32Speaker 3: guys are meant to play outside. Some guys are meant
- 20:34Speaker 3: for the middle. Okay. One of the greatest Pittsburgh Steelers
- 20:37Speaker 3: of all time was a guy that was fearless in
- 20:42Speaker 3: the middle of the wide receiver. You've had a bunch
- 20:45Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame. No, I know, I'm not
- 20:47Speaker 3: like recently. No no, no, no, no, not Stalworth either, So
- 20:52Speaker 3: don't throw that name out. Gosh, what's his name? Physical blocker? Okay,
- 20:58Speaker 3: was a great blocker. Come on, heines Ward? Thank you?
- 21:01Speaker 3: I mean that was heinz Ward's area. Okay, well, that's
- 21:05Speaker 3: not Pickens's area. He doesn't like to do that. Like
- 21:08Speaker 3: I said, his arms, you know, going across the middle.
- 21:12Speaker 3: You know, here's full extension. Okay, and then then all
- 21:16Speaker 3: of a sudden, you get them dinosaur like alligator arms.
- 21:19Speaker 3: It's like t rex arm, like the bill came and
- 21:22Speaker 3: he doesn't want to pay it. I can't quite reach
- 21:24Speaker 3: and get it. But Deontae Johnson is not scared. I'm
- 21:29Speaker 3: not saying the other guys. I'm just saying he's a
- 21:31Speaker 3: little bit more courageous than another. I think you just
- 21:32Speaker 3: said he's scared. He just said that. Okay, he's scared.
- 21:37Speaker 3: I would be scared going in the middle. You know,
- 21:40Speaker 3: the guy like Cisco waiting on me, Well, who should
- 21:42Speaker 3: be going? The middle is a tight end they don't like.
- 21:44Speaker 3: That's why I like playing defense. Well, yeah, because it was.
- 21:47Speaker 3: It wasn't a targeted the one making the contact, not
- 21:49Speaker 3: taking correct But they don't have the tight end right now.
- 21:52Speaker 3: That's luth Is on I R he had what a
- 21:56Speaker 3: you set a hamstring and uh he's been active. But
- 22:00Speaker 3: the one tight end that they do have has a
- 22:02Speaker 3: very famous last name, Hayward. Oh yeah, yeah, Connor Hayward,
- 22:09Speaker 3: which is he's the brother, Okay, the brother of the
- 22:13Speaker 3: guy on the other side of the ball, correct, Cam
- 22:15Speaker 3: Cam Hayward, who is his windows open to practiced yesterday
- 22:19Speaker 3: or today? I think? Yeah, he got his twenty one
- 22:21Speaker 3: day winows, so he could play conceivably this game against
- 22:24Speaker 3: the Jaguars. But Connor Hayward, I mean he's listed as
- 22:30Speaker 3: a full back. Okay, you're calling him a tight end, Okay,
- 22:33Speaker 3: but when you watch the guy on film, he's a fullback. Yeah,
- 22:38Speaker 3: he's bigger, he's a big well, he's not tall, that's right.
- 22:41Speaker 3: And he's a Michigan State guy if I remember, right, Yeah,
- 22:43Speaker 3: he is a Michigan State guy, that's right. So, but
- 22:45Speaker 3: he's not a big guy. He's not dynamic, he's not
- 22:48Speaker 3: a great receiver. And I think that's what what Pittsburgh
- 22:52Speaker 3: is missing a little bit in their offense is that
- 22:55Speaker 3: you don't have friar Muths, because I think Friarmouth is
- 22:57Speaker 3: a big weapon for them. Jaguars Happy in ten XL

- 23:10Speaker 3: Steelers defense, I mean TJ. Watt is the first guys
- 23:14Speaker 3: that stands out. He's right there near the top of
- 23:17Speaker 3: the league in sacks. He's impactful, He's got his hands
- 23:20Speaker 3: on the football the time. He's a Defensive Player of
- 23:24Speaker 3: the Year at one point in his career and could
- 23:26Speaker 3: be certainly again. But he is He's the one that
- 23:29Speaker 3: really makes this thing go on defense. So how do
- 23:32Speaker 3: you approach TJ. Watt. Well, let's go to that line
- 23:37Speaker 3: that you just said. He's what makes him go on defense.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Let's go back to last year for the Pittsburgh Steelers,
- 23:41Speaker 3: because this was an interesting number. He had a peck
- 23:44Speaker 3: injury last year and he missed seven games. Well, in
- 23:47Speaker 3: those seven games, the Pittsburgh Steelers only went one in
- 23:50Speaker 3: six as a team, okay, and also gave up twenty
- 23:53Speaker 3: five point three points per game. Well, when he played
- 23:57Speaker 3: in ten games, they were eight and two and they
- 24:00Speaker 3: only gave up sixteen point nine points per game, so
- 24:04Speaker 3: a touchdown. So his performance presence is worth a touchdown
- 24:08Speaker 3: a game and the difference between winning and losing. And
- 24:12Speaker 3: that's a crazy number to think of statistically. But eighty
- 24:17Speaker 3: five and a half career sacks. He's only in year seven,
- 24:20Speaker 3: which is insane. A couple of years ago he tied
- 24:25Speaker 3: Michael Strahan's record twenty two and a half sacks in
- 24:28Speaker 3: a season. He constantly gets doubled and gets a lot
- 24:33Speaker 3: of attention from multiple players on the offense, and I
- 24:36Speaker 3: think he changes the way offensive coordinators call the game.
- 24:40Speaker 3: The problem with him is that, Okay, you put two
- 24:44Speaker 3: guys on him. Now you're going to take somebody out
- 24:47Speaker 3: of the route tree. Okay, So now you lower the
- 24:50Speaker 3: choices for your quarterback. You lower the number of people
- 24:54Speaker 3: that can spread a defense out. Well, there's another guy
- 24:58Speaker 3: on the other side named high Smith. It's pretty dog
- 25:00Speaker 3: gone good too. Who Oh, by the way, I think
- 25:02Speaker 3: last year he had like fourteen and a half sacks
- 25:05Speaker 3: or somehow excellent player. And oh, by the way, they
- 25:09Speaker 3: got a rookie that they drafted from Wisconsin, her brig
- 25:15Speaker 3: Her brig h e r her Big h e R
- 25:18Speaker 3: b ig Okay, Nick Herbig fourth round pick out of Wisconsin.
- 25:23Speaker 3: And I don't know what his numbers are. Maybe you
- 25:24Speaker 3: can tell me how many sacks he has, but I
- 25:26Speaker 3: can tell you this watching the film, the guy can
- 25:30Speaker 3: play and I'm talking he can play football. This guy
- 25:34Speaker 3: is a good pass rusher. He is in the rotation
- 25:38Speaker 3: with high Smith and then also t J. Watt where
- 25:41Speaker 3: those guys are getting blows or breaks. He's a really
- 25:47Speaker 3: good pick for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh Steelers calling car
- 25:50Speaker 3: has always been outside lineman y So Nick herbigs has
- 25:52Speaker 3: only played in four games this year. He's got six tackles,
- 25:55Speaker 3: one sack to fl Okay. I'm just telling you why
- 25:59Speaker 3: special teams cup tackles. Watching the film on the guy,
- 26:02Speaker 3: he can play, okay. And so for the folks that
- 26:04Speaker 3: are wondering, okay high Smith where everybody knows what TJ Wat?
- 26:08Speaker 3: TJ Watt? Where's ninety yep? Okay. He's always on the
- 26:11Speaker 3: defensive left over the right tackle, not always. They move
- 26:14Speaker 3: him every now and again they'll flip him over to
- 26:16Speaker 3: the other side. And last last week this was interesting
- 26:20Speaker 3: because Sean McVay was really trying to get a bead
- 26:24Speaker 3: and double TJ. Watt. They were flip flopping. That interesting,
- 26:29Speaker 3: and so I'm talking while okay, offense comes to the
- 26:31Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, t J. Watt and high Smith flip
- 26:34Speaker 3: flop okay as they're getting set. Okay, So they were
- 26:38Speaker 3: trying to do that because they didn't want the Rams
- 26:40Speaker 3: to be able to get a bead and double on TJ. Watt.
- 26:43Speaker 3: And and then also once they rotated in the rookie,
- 26:47Speaker 3: they would put the rookie on the other side and
- 26:50Speaker 3: let TJ rush from the other side. So they're gonna
- 26:52Speaker 3: move him around, and I think it's gonna be a
- 26:55Speaker 3: little bit of a chess game. Okay, what is Press
- 26:57Speaker 3: Taylor gonna do? What is Doug Peterson gonna do with TJ.
- 27:00Speaker 3: Watt when he lines up at the on the side
- 27:03Speaker 3: that he usually is, and will they try to check
- 27:05Speaker 3: protection if he flip flops like he did against the
- 27:09Speaker 3: La Rams. That's gonna be interesting to watch a little
- 27:11Speaker 3: bit of a chess match. There plenty ahead. We're back
- 27:14Speaker 3: in a moment, Kay Stevens joining us in studio. Jaguars
- 27:17Speaker 3: reporter get her thoughts on the week that was for
- 27:20Speaker 3: the Jaguars and the week ahead in Pittsburgh against the

- 27:47Speaker 2: In saving water. I appreciate it.

- 28:00Speaker 2: oh my god, there's dolphins jumping out of the water,
- 28:02Speaker 2: very Florida.
- 28:02Speaker 3: They're everywhere. Yeah, we've got manatees right comes to you
- 28:06Speaker 3: the whole deal. Yeah, Yeah, that's pretty neat. How U
- 28:10Speaker 3: Literally you'll see all kinds of marine life. Yeah, in
- 28:13Speaker 3: downtown Jacksonville at the time. It's awesome, and some of
- 28:15Speaker 3: it ends up on Logoman's boat. Imagine that. Yeah, I
- 28:19Speaker 3: used to. Yeah, now, kayak, it's right, a little big
- 28:23Speaker 3: to handle.
- 28:23Speaker 2: I was gonna say, what are you trying to pull
- 28:24Speaker 2: up on a kayak because that might be Yeah, it's
- 28:26Speaker 2: a little little different.
- 28:27Speaker 3: A little big to handle. The Outdoors Show Saturday Morning seven,
- 28:33Speaker 3: that's Ty two point five. Hey, it's Jaguars Happy Hour,
- 28:36Speaker 3: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, the Jaguars and the Steelers
- 28:39Speaker 3: coming up. Ky. They're coming off a mini bye week.
- 28:42Speaker 2: They are, And I feel like it was just enough
- 28:43Speaker 2: of a break, right, because like you don't want to
- 28:45Speaker 2: take too much of a break because then you're going
- 28:47Speaker 2: to be checked out, because it's a hard spot to
- 28:49Speaker 2: be in because we got like three three ish days
- 28:53Speaker 2: off because they're back on Monday, but then just one
- 28:55Speaker 2: more game and then it's the real bye week. So
- 28:57Speaker 2: like I feel like it was just enough of a
- 28:59Speaker 2: break to get people like rested, but then to have
- 29:01Speaker 2: them back in on Monday practicing and kind of get ready,
- 29:04Speaker 2: and everybody seems pretty focused. They don't feel like they're
- 29:06Speaker 2: checked out yet.
- 29:07Speaker 3: So really, like two and a half days off, Yeah,
- 29:09Speaker 3: it's true.
- 29:09Speaker 2: By the time we got back, that's fair. That's very fair.
- 29:13Speaker 3: I think I got on like four four o'clock.
- 29:17Speaker 2: We got here at four, Yeah, so it was late the.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Business we've chosen. I suppose that's all right. I mean, look,
- 29:23Speaker 3: it's uh. Look, I said this during the game broadcast,
- 29:27Speaker 3: that defense and that football team played hard, and they
- 29:30Speaker 3: played well and that was an incredible performance. But I
- 29:34Speaker 3: said this that they need to take have cold tub
- 29:37Speaker 3: cold beer and have the weekend off and rest. And
- 29:39Speaker 3: I hope they did because that's like the greatest I mean,
- 29:42Speaker 3: that's it's hard to play a short week, but if
- 29:44Speaker 3: you treat the weekend and the time off that you have,
- 29:46Speaker 3: that ensues. I think you got a great opportunity to
- 29:48Speaker 3: kind of get back on track. Like you were talking about,
- 29:51Speaker 3: it's you want to have a break, but then you
- 29:53Speaker 3: don't want to lose your edge, so to speak, you know,
- 29:57Speaker 3: because you're on a four game roll.
- 29:58Speaker 2: You know, I feel like some times, and Jeff, you
- 30:01Speaker 2: could probably speak to this better, but like you know,
- 30:03Speaker 2: when you're away from work a little too long and
- 30:04Speaker 2: then by the time you come back, you're like, I
- 30:06Speaker 2: don't want to do this anymore. Is that what bye
- 30:07Speaker 2: week is like?
- 30:08Speaker 3: Or do you just you're dead on. Is that what
- 30:09Speaker 3: it's like.
- 30:10Speaker 2: You're like finally getting into it. You're like, I could
- 30:12Speaker 2: live this way every day, and then all of a
- 30:14Speaker 2: sudden you have to go back.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Kayk is awesome. Well, I mean, look, the players are human.
- 30:18Speaker 3: I mean they're just like everybody else. You get a
- 30:20Speaker 3: day off, You're like, you know, gosh, it sure would
- 30:22Speaker 3: be nice to have, you know, weekends off like this,
- 30:25Speaker 3: you know all the time. But the reality is is
- 30:27Speaker 3: that that's not the job and that's not the job description.
- 30:29Speaker 3: So you go back to work. But it's nice to
- 30:32Speaker 3: have that break and uh and also it gives you
- 30:37Speaker 3: a little extra focus because you have the break. But
- 30:39Speaker 3: then you also are saying, look, I'm gonna commit and
- 30:42Speaker 3: I'm all in this week because I know the next week,
- 30:45Speaker 3: I got some some time that I can really enjoy
- 30:48Speaker 3: a mental break and also a physical break from it.
- 30:52Speaker 3: Kay Stevens with us in Studio Jaguars Happy Hour. The
- 30:55Speaker 3: quarterback storyline last week dominated the headlines going into the
- 30:59Speaker 3: game when the super Dome, and then during the game
- 31:02Speaker 3: in the super Dome, he ended up as the leading
- 31:04Speaker 3: rusher for the Jaguars on a brace. He said he's
- 31:07Speaker 3: gonna continue to wear it, and that's what it's gonna be.
- 31:10Speaker 3: He's gonna be out there and fight through this thing.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Gosh, if you didn't appreciate Trevor Lawrence before that game,
- 31:15Speaker 2: you have to after that game for him to, you know,
- 31:18Speaker 2: play through injury. That's inspiring two teammates. I mean, we've
- 31:21Speaker 2: heard from all of them saying, you know, if Trevor's
- 31:22Speaker 2: out there doing that and playing well while doing it,
- 31:25Speaker 2: that motivates people. For it was like, Oh, I saw
- 31:27Speaker 2: him doing all this running around. He's like, I got
- 31:29Speaker 2: to step my game up. So that inspires your teammates
- 31:32Speaker 2: to see that. Also, you look across the sideline you
- 31:34Speaker 2: see Derek Carr having a meltdown over there, and you're like, geez,
- 31:37Speaker 2: that could be what we were dealing with. So I
- 31:40Speaker 2: not that I don't think anybody appreciated him, but when
- 31:42Speaker 2: you see stuff like that, you're like, oh, things could
- 31:44Speaker 2: be much worse.
- 31:46Speaker 3: One of my favorites was on Instagram there was a
- 31:50Speaker 3: they had I guess Trayvon was miked up.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Somebody was yeah, it's the best part of Mike Oh
- 31:54Speaker 2: funny story that almost got left out and miked up.
- 31:56Speaker 2: I helped save that, by the way, which was that?
- 31:59Speaker 2: So Trayvon is miked up for We do a make
- 32:02Speaker 2: up player every week and we had him maked.
- 32:03Speaker 3: Up last week. I watched it all, but I didn't
- 32:05Speaker 3: see he was right.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Up on Derek Carr. When Derek Carr started lighting up,
- 32:08Speaker 2: Chris Olaven was like, what are you doing?
- 32:10Speaker 1: Run?
- 32:10Speaker 2: And it's like this just you hear it, and then
- 32:13Speaker 2: Trayvon's in the background like, hey, Derek wouldn't new, There
- 32:17Speaker 2: was no new.
- 32:20Speaker 3: Oh it's a good stuff. Look what you brought up
- 32:24Speaker 3: about Trevor's dead on and what Foyer said about Trevor
- 32:28Speaker 3: is dead on. I thought the biggest play in the
- 32:32Speaker 3: ball game was the first scramble that Trevor had because
- 32:36Speaker 3: it sent a message. It sent a message to your coaches,
- 32:39Speaker 3: it sent a message to your teammates, and it sent
- 32:43Speaker 3: a message to your opponent. I'm here, I'm healthy enough,
- 32:47Speaker 3: and I'm gonna play ball. Let's go boys, I mean,
- 32:50Speaker 3: because I mean reality. Think about it. What did we
- 32:52Speaker 3: all think when we saw Trevor run? Don't do it?
- 32:57Speaker 2: And I slid too, And I was like, but.
- 32:59Speaker 3: When we saw him take off, We're like, that's impressive,
- 33:02Speaker 3: that's toughness and he.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Cut on it too. It wasn't like.
- 33:05Speaker 3: Yes, and so everybody else sees that that's on the
- 33:08Speaker 3: team and they're sitting there, Oh yeah, here we go. Yep,
- 33:10Speaker 3: let's go. And so when you when the quarterback shows
- 33:12Speaker 3: that he's all in by actions, I think it spurs
- 33:16Speaker 3: people on to have a better performance because they know
- 33:19Speaker 3: he's gutting it out, they know he's tough. Okay, But
- 33:22Speaker 3: I loved how after the game. I wanted to bring
- 33:26Speaker 3: this up this week and I'm definitely gonna do it
- 33:28Speaker 3: right now so I don't forget. I love how Trevor
- 33:32Speaker 3: was asked the question after the game about the knee
- 33:35Speaker 3: and about fighting through it, and Trevor wanted to deflect
- 33:39Speaker 3: and say, look, this is a tough game, this is
- 33:42Speaker 3: a tough sport, and I don't want to talk about
- 33:45Speaker 3: money because everybody's fighting through something and he's dead on.
- 33:49Speaker 3: But I thought it that just shows you. I think
- 33:53Speaker 3: the level of leadership that he has in two ways.
- 33:57Speaker 3: One the performance, one showing that he can run. He
- 34:00Speaker 3: was a leading rusher in that game. That was a
- 34:02Speaker 3: career high rushing yards for him on a knee that
- 34:06Speaker 3: was in a brace that was not feeling one hundred percent.
- 34:09Speaker 3: But then after the game, the leadership doesn't stop when
- 34:13Speaker 3: he makes something like that, in a comment like that,
- 34:15Speaker 3: and the players see that that's what leaders do. If
- 34:21Speaker 3: you're looking for the MVP of the truck game, look
- 34:23Speaker 3: no further than Ford to f one fifty. Loaded with
- 34:26Speaker 3: impressive capability and designed to dominate, work play and everything
- 34:30Speaker 3: in between. This truck makes tough look easy. Your local
- 34:34Speaker 3: Ford Dealer, proud partner of the Jaguars. It's Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Atention Excel ninety two point five FM, JP Shadwick, Jeff Logaman,
- 34:41Speaker 3: Kay Stevens, Jags Defense eighty seven plays Logs. You and
- 34:45Speaker 3: I talked about it, Makay this performance. I mean they
- 34:48Speaker 3: had a lead, they had to pick six to get
- 34:51Speaker 3: that fifteen point lead, gave it up. They're running out
- 34:54Speaker 3: of guess, but they got the fourth down stop. Mon
- 34:57Speaker 3: Terrek Brown played big in a big moll in his
- 35:00Speaker 3: first start, and that was a question mark going into
- 35:02Speaker 3: that game last Thursday as well. How is this going
- 35:05Speaker 3: to hold up to Von Campbell's up off the practice
- 35:07Speaker 3: squad break glass in case of emergency. Oh, they didn't
- 35:11Speaker 3: have to. And monterak played big in that game for
- 35:14Speaker 3: the Jags, and this defense just keeps doing it week
- 35:16Speaker 3: after week. They stopped the run, they take the ball away,
- 35:19Speaker 3: and they find a.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Way and it was a little bit of a bend
- 35:21Speaker 2: not break there at the end, but they got it done.
- 35:23Speaker 2: And I think what's cool at this point, and I
- 35:25Speaker 2: talked a little bit about this on Jagsam, is they're
- 35:28Speaker 2: at a point now where when they draft people or
- 35:30Speaker 2: they have people coming in, they can kind of get
- 35:33Speaker 2: them to where they want them to be on either
- 35:35Speaker 2: the practice squad or as a backup, and then when
- 35:37Speaker 2: someone goes down, that person's ready to go in. It's
- 35:40Speaker 2: it's not you know, yes, he's never started before, but
- 35:43Speaker 2: he to have that mentality when someone's picking on you
- 35:46Speaker 2: and throwing your way every single time, you have to
- 35:48Speaker 2: have a mentality like Monterrek Brown had where he's like,
- 35:52Speaker 2: I'm gonna figure this out because that can easily break
- 35:55Speaker 2: somebody if, like, you know, you let one thing go
- 35:57Speaker 2: by you. But the nature of that position and playing
- 36:00Speaker 2: behind the people he plays behind and working with the
- 36:03Speaker 2: people that he works with, it was clear that he
- 36:06Speaker 2: was prepared for that moment. There's other times people get
- 36:08Speaker 2: thrown in You're like, this is gonna be a long day,
- 36:10Speaker 2: and it could have been a long day. They threw
- 36:13Speaker 2: out him all that. I'm sure it felt that way
- 36:14Speaker 2: for him, but then to come up as big as
- 36:16Speaker 2: he did in the end of that game, it's huge.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was big play. Now, wasn't exactly
- 36:22Speaker 3: the best thrown ball. Okay, you can't control that part.
- 36:26Speaker 3: He just knock it down. So that's why Derek Carr
- 36:28Speaker 3: needs to live in a glasshouse and just kind of
- 36:30Speaker 3: shut up a little bit to his teammates. But but
- 36:34Speaker 3: I will say this, Uh, the Jaguars protected monterk Brown
- 36:38Speaker 3: a little bit too. Now, Okay, so uh, I want
- 36:41Speaker 3: to make sure we give some credit to the coaching
- 36:43Speaker 3: staff because when you have a young player like that
- 36:46Speaker 3: that's playing in a game that's going against a Michael
- 36:49Speaker 3: Thomas and an old lave, you've got to you got
- 36:52Speaker 3: to give him some help, and I thought they did.
- 36:54Speaker 3: They put the safety over the top a little bit
- 36:56Speaker 3: to help him out, which was which was wise, But
- 36:58Speaker 3: at the end, you can't help them. Okay, you're kind
- 37:02Speaker 3: of out on an island. You got to make the plays,
- 37:03Speaker 3: and he made the place. But what enables them to
- 37:06Speaker 3: provide some help in that situation. To MONTERK. Brown, your
- 37:09Speaker 3: other corner's playing lights out, Okay, Darius Williams is playing
- 37:14Speaker 3: lights out. I mean, I'm telling you last year I
- 37:16Speaker 3: thought at times that he was not very good. This year,
- 37:20Speaker 3: he's the best corner on his roster. Right now, He's
- 37:22Speaker 3: playing at a level that's better than Tyson Campbell. And
- 37:25Speaker 3: I hope Tyson Campbell gets back and then now you
- 37:27Speaker 3: got two really good corners. But give credit to Darius Williams.
- 37:30Speaker 3: I McKay. You had to three interceptions in three games, Okay, great.
- 37:34Speaker 3: That pass defense that he knocked up into the air
- 37:36Speaker 3: for Fourier intercept was an outstanding play. He's been physical,
- 37:40Speaker 3: He's got the most pass defense in the league. And
- 37:43Speaker 3: give him some credit to with the success of Montery Brown,
- 37:46Speaker 3: I'm writing that down. I'm giving credit to Darius Williams. Yes,
- 37:49Speaker 3: he's been a stud man, been a stud I mean,
- 37:54Speaker 3: do you guys look at PFF Football Focused grades? Okay?
- 37:59Speaker 3: I look at it because I think it's it's not
- 38:00Speaker 3: the the ultimate grading scale, Okay, but I think it's
- 38:04Speaker 3: a tool and it's something that you can look at
- 38:06Speaker 3: that you can say Okay, it's somebody else's opinion, and
- 38:09Speaker 3: you can argue the fact that it's acute or not,
- 38:11Speaker 3: but at least you can present it that it's somebody
- 38:12Speaker 3: else's opinion. He's the third highest rated corner on PFF scale.
- 38:17Speaker 3: If you take that, everybody's got to play twenty percent
- 38:19Speaker 3: minimum snaps. That's impressive. And the reason I bring that
- 38:23Speaker 3: up is the last time that the Jaguars had corners
- 38:25Speaker 3: that were ranked that high. Okay, let's go back to
- 38:28Speaker 3: twenty seventeen when Jalen Ramsey and hey J Boyer worked
- 38:33Speaker 3: like one and two on PFF's rankings. I mean tremendous.
- 38:37Speaker 3: So I'm just trying to throw a little little love
- 38:41Speaker 3: towards Darius Williams because I might have thrown them a
- 38:43Speaker 3: little shade last year's shade, bad Shad, Way to go.
- 38:50Speaker 3: You didn't have to google it or anything. I didn't.
- 38:52Speaker 3: I didn't google it. It's hands free. I didn't touch anything.
- 38:55Speaker 3: How good are these Steelers KA.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Hard to tell. They a little bit identity crisis from
- 39:01Speaker 2: what I've seen. At least it's because it's similar to
- 39:06Speaker 2: us in the sense where they have young quarterback. They
- 39:09Speaker 2: haven't quite gotten to where they can be with their offense.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Obviously at a lesser level. I think the Jaguars offense
- 39:14Speaker 2: can be much better than the Pittsburgh offense, and then
- 39:17Speaker 2: they rely along on their defense and their pass rush.
- 39:19Speaker 2: There they are high in turnovers as forcing turnovers as well.
- 39:23Speaker 2: Not as high as the Jaguars, but high up there.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I think they're trying to figure out who they are.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin had a nice little rant in his press
- 39:30Speaker 2: conference earlier in the week about he thinks having an
- 39:33Speaker 2: identity is dumb because then that just tells the other
- 39:35Speaker 2: team what they need to stop. So he doesn't want
- 39:38Speaker 2: to be any particular kind of team. He just wants
- 39:40Speaker 2: to be better at a little bit of everything.
- 39:42Speaker 3: So he's got some great lines. Oh, I enjoy him.
- 39:46Speaker 2: I could listen to it was like it was like
- 39:48Speaker 2: forty five minutes long, and it was just it was great.
- 39:51Speaker 3: Sometimes would never say never, but never he always has.
- 39:56Speaker 3: I mean some kind I mean where you can create
- 39:58Speaker 3: into some kind of meme.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Right, I mean it's some kind of is or like
- 40:01Speaker 2: saying at.
- 40:02Speaker 3: Least sometimes I don't know what's more entertaining the unexpected
- 40:08Speaker 3: or expected staleness of a Bill Belichick press conference when
- 40:12Speaker 3: he just when a question is asked and he just
- 40:15Speaker 3: sits there and doesn't say anything for about five seconds.
- 40:17Speaker 2: It's impressive how awkward he can make it because like
- 40:21Speaker 2: to keep us straight face and like make it that weird.
- 40:24Speaker 3: I just chuckle when I watch his press conferences. And
- 40:26Speaker 3: then Mike Tomlin is flat out entertainment at times because
- 40:31Speaker 3: he's he's almost like this this caricature that has this
- 40:36Speaker 3: ability to be a classic ball coach with classic ball
- 40:42Speaker 3: coach sayings. It's hilarious. And then they go out and
- 40:46Speaker 3: perform well too well games. You know did Doug Peterson
- 40:49Speaker 3: said it early in the week and he was dead on,
- 40:51Speaker 3: and that Mike Tomlin does a great job with messaging.
- 40:56Speaker 3: And you can't be a coach for seventeen years and
- 41:00Speaker 3: never have a losing season without having a great messaging system.
- 41:05Speaker 3: And Mike Tomlin is one of the best Jaguars All
- 41:09Speaker 3: Access Television Tonight at String Sports Brewery, Kai who we.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Got Evan Ingram is going to be back with us
- 41:15Speaker 2: this week.

- 41:29Speaker 3: you know, yeah, I can't remember the body contortion and
- 41:33Speaker 3: his shoulder go that night, careful, it's crazy. And then
- 41:38Speaker 3: somehow he turned it up. I mean, it's what he does.
- 41:43Speaker 3: He so consistent, so professional, and one of the hardest

- 42:54Speaker 3: Jaguars and the Steelers coming up in week eight, It's
- 42:57Speaker 3: time for the injury report, presented by Baptist Health and
- 43:00Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine provider of
- 43:04Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars PR Department has just announced
- 43:08Speaker 3: the injury report for Thursday for both teams and today
- 43:13Speaker 3: for the Jaguars. It is the exact same injury report, statuses, statuses,
- 43:19Speaker 3: statusties which one status sees I think officially, but I
- 43:23Speaker 3: would just say that it's the exact same as it was. Yes, Yeah,
- 43:26Speaker 3: that so. Tyson Campbell the hamstring as you limited both days.
- 43:31Speaker 3: Andre Cisco hamstring injury limited both days. Devon Hamilton back
- 43:36Speaker 3: issue full both days yesterday and today. Jay Jones is
- 43:41Speaker 3: not practiced this week. That doesn't sound good for this
- 43:43Speaker 3: week with a knee injury. Greg Junior hamstring injury full
- 43:47Speaker 3: both days. Cornerback, it's good news. Trevor Lawrence knee issue
- 43:51Speaker 3: limited both days. Walker Little knee issue limited both days.
- 43:55Speaker 3: Brandon Sheriff ankle issue limited both days. Okay, fifty two
- 44:00Speaker 3: on the roster right now because of the release of
- 44:04Speaker 3: roy Ethan Rourke was released and then signed back to
- 44:07Speaker 3: the practice squad. Okay, so now you have a roster spot.
- 44:10Speaker 3: So if you wanted to activate either Greg Junior or
- 44:13Speaker 3: Devon Hamilton, which both of their windows have been opened,
- 44:17Speaker 3: which can go twenty one days, which Devon what at
- 44:20Speaker 3: the end of this week will be down to seven?
- 44:22Speaker 3: Greg Junior was opened this week, right, so think so
- 44:25Speaker 3: or last week? Not last week though, yeah this week
- 44:28Speaker 3: so so yeah. So maybe one of those guys could
- 44:32Speaker 3: be brought up to the active roster for a game day.
- 44:34Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see as well, just because, as
- 44:39Speaker 3: we said a little bit earlier, typically teams would be
- 44:43Speaker 3: a little bit more cautious knowing that you've got the
- 44:45Speaker 3: bye week to get one more week of healing for
- 44:48Speaker 3: an injured player. What the Steelers alow at it. What
- 44:53Speaker 3: injury report? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, well what do they got? Okay,
- 44:56Speaker 3: First of all, the twenty one day window was opened
- 44:58Speaker 3: for Heyward cam Hayward growing issue. Limited today. He had
- 45:03Speaker 3: growing surgery by the way, Yes, more than an issue.
- 45:06Speaker 3: Yeah it was surgery. Yeah, surgery. That's more than just
- 45:10Speaker 3: an es not good, but it was. You said week
- 45:13Speaker 3: one was the injury, right, I think I don't. I
- 45:16Speaker 3: don't know that. Well, he was active for the first
- 45:18Speaker 3: game of the year and he's been active since, so
- 45:19Speaker 3: it had to happen in the first game either way.
- 45:21Speaker 3: He's limited today, okay. Anthony McFarland junior a running back
- 45:25Speaker 3: knee injury full both days. Cornerback Levi Wallace foot injury,
- 45:30Speaker 3: did not practice Wednesday, limited today. Yeah. And by the way,
- 45:34Speaker 3: because he didn't play a lot, Joey Porter played a ton.
- 45:37Speaker 3: Joey Porter was not on the report at all yesterday
- 45:41Speaker 3: and now limited today with a calf issue. Wide receiver
- 45:45Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson not on the report yesterday but did not
- 45:49Speaker 3: practice today with a hamstring injury. Ooh, that's a big
- 45:53Speaker 3: one now, yeah, back that that one is something to
- 45:57Speaker 3: watch along with the Porter thing, and also with Levi
- 46:02Speaker 3: Wallace because you're talking about starting corners there. Yes, linebacker
- 46:07Speaker 3: Cole Holcombe ankle injury full both days. Nate herbig offensive
- 46:12Speaker 3: lineman illness did not practice yesterday full today. He should
- 46:15Speaker 3: be fine moving ahead. So they got two sets of
- 46:17Speaker 3: brothers on this football team. But how about that, right,
- 46:21Speaker 3: Haywards and the Herbigs. Yeah, Haywards and Herbigs. Wow, it's

- 47:47Speaker 3: six and two after a win, it would be six
- 47:49Speaker 3: and two and a bye week. Everything's kind of turning
- 47:52Speaker 3: up right well right now. One of the things I
- 47:54Speaker 3: want to talk to him about is it his weather.
- 47:58Speaker 3: I know you're a weather nerd Well. I mean, look,
- 48:01Speaker 3: weather conditions could be an issue up in Pittsburgh right now.
- 48:04Speaker 3: The forecast is not exactly looking good. Also want to
- 48:08Speaker 3: talk about how do you how do you contend with
- 48:10Speaker 3: a guy from a from a game plan standpoint, like
- 48:14Speaker 3: TJ wantt absolutely and also we'll ask him. Sure about
- 48:19Speaker 3: Trevor's knee, how that is going? Seems to be a storyline.
- 48:22Speaker 3: You think the starting quarterback, you know me, probably would
- 48:26Speaker 3: be a storyline. But nights, I wish we could have
- 48:29Speaker 3: two hours with him, because he does he does a
- 48:31Speaker 3: great job. Yeah, and but we will pick his break
- 48:35Speaker 3: coming up about this matchup Jaguars Steelers, the first time
- 48:39Speaker 3: the Jags have been to Pittsburgh since the AFC Divisional
- 48:42Speaker 3: playoff game after the twenty seventeen season. That's the Jaguars
- 48:45Speaker 3: last trip to Pittsburgh that turned out well. Of course,
- 48:48Speaker 3: been a while. Only a handful of players left from
- 48:50Speaker 3: that team. By the way, Cam Robinson, let's see Tyler
- 48:55Speaker 3: Shatley Smoot was on that team, I believe young not
- 48:59Speaker 3: a whole That's about it. Everybody else is. Cam Robinson
- 49:03Speaker 3: told me this week those are the two favorite, two
- 49:06Speaker 3: of the most favorite games he's played in the NFL,
- 49:08Speaker 3: the two Steeler games in twenty seventeen. Well, and a
- 49:11Speaker 3: big reason for that. Again, I'm gonna go back to
- 49:13Speaker 3: what Trevor's Trevor said, and he talked about the aura
- 49:16Speaker 3: of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, that's you're talking one
- 49:20Speaker 3: of the one of the oldest oldest franchises in the
- 49:24Speaker 3: National Football League. I think the Steelers franchise is like
- 49:27Speaker 3: ninety some odd years old now or ninety years old,
- 49:30Speaker 3: which is uh, it's like the seventh oldest franchise I think,
- 49:34Speaker 3: is what I said. It's it's impressive. So this is
- 49:37Speaker 3: gonna be a cool game and a great environment. It
- 49:39Speaker 3: always is in Pittsburgh, always is certainly better when the
- 49:42Speaker 3: Jaguars is gonna win up there, which they've done a
- 49:44Speaker 3: lot of in the last twenty years or so. Try
- 49:48Speaker 3: to do it again this week. That'll do it for
- 49:50Speaker 3: Jaguars Happy Hour. Up next, it's Jaguars Radio Network coverage
