- 0:46Speaker 3: out there, and beautiful play on the field. The playmakers
- 0:49Speaker 3: were making plays. We talked last week about some of
- 0:51Speaker 3: the stars not stepping up in the key moments. Not
- 0:53Speaker 3: a problem against the Patriots in week three. We will

- 0:58Speaker 3: rush coming up. And we'll answer some of your fan questions.
- 1:01Speaker 3: We're going to get those in in the 4 o'clock
- 1:02Speaker 3: hour today so we can answer all of those fan
- 1:04Speaker 3: questions for you. CBS Sports Senior Writer Pete Prisco, Jaguars
- 1:09Speaker 3: former defenseman Austin Lane with me. And what a fun,
- 1:13Speaker 3: fun game that was because obviously in Denver, they just
- 1:16Speaker 3: couldn't quite put it together. It looks kind of ugly.
- 1:20Speaker 3: It was close in the first quarter in this game,
- 1:21Speaker 3: but then the Jaguars took full control and really took
- 1:24Speaker 3: advantage of all the opportunities given to them. Austin, it
- 1:28Speaker 3: felt like this was a game. We talk about that response, right?
- 1:31Speaker 3: They say Liam Cohen talks about response all the time.
- 1:33Speaker 3: This was a strong response.
- 1:35Speaker 1: It was a response.
- 1:36Speaker 4: It's something they've always, I feel like has been their
- 1:38Speaker 4: identity when they haven't played up to their standard, whether
- 1:41Speaker 4: it was going back last year to the Houston game,
- 1:43Speaker 4: whether it was the Buffalo Bills game, they kind of
- 1:45Speaker 4: let the Bills off the hook a little bit that
- 1:46Speaker 4: transferred to the Cleveland Browns game week one. or the
- 1:50Speaker 4: Denver game that transferred now to this Patriots game. They've
- 1:54Speaker 4: always responded, and that goes to show you that even
- 1:56Speaker 4: though sometimes it's not going to go great, it's the NFL,
- 1:58Speaker 4: it happens, that they buy into their coaching. And by
- 2:01Speaker 4: the way, they had a bad game against Denver, still
- 2:04Speaker 4: a close game. New England played a bad game against Jacksonville,
- 2:07Speaker 4: and it was 35-6. So it goes to show you, too,
- 2:10Speaker 4: even when it's the bad games, how the Jaguars are
- 2:12Speaker 4: still in the mix of it.
- 2:15Speaker 5: Yeah, and coming out and just dominating that game after
- 2:18Speaker 5: the first quarter, tells you where they are.
- 2:21Speaker 6: A, as an offense.
- 2:22Speaker 5: But I think it also says a lot about New England.
- 2:25Speaker 5: I mean, you know, and I said before the season,
- 2:27Speaker 5: I didn't think they'd be a playoff team.
- 2:29Speaker 6: I thought they feasted on a bad schedule.
- 2:31Speaker 5: I thought Drake May had concerns at the end of
- 2:33Speaker 5: last year, and they've carried over.
- 2:36Speaker 6: And, you know, I said it last week. I did
- 2:39Speaker 6: the research on it.
- 2:39Speaker 5: He played every one of the teams he played last
- 2:42Speaker 5: year in the regular season had a scoring defense that
- 2:46Speaker 5: was ranked 12th or higher or lower, I should say,
- 2:49Speaker 5: you know, in the tour, a lot of them in
- 2:50Speaker 5: the twenties and the 25 in the playoffs, he played,
- 2:54Speaker 5: I think seven, four, two, and one. And then so
- 2:58Speaker 5: far in the regular season, he played one, which was Seattle.
- 3:01Speaker 5: I count, you know, at the time. And then the
- 3:04Speaker 5: Steelers were nine or eight when they played him. And
- 3:07Speaker 5: I think Jacksonville was six or seven in scoring defense
- 3:09Speaker 5: when he played him. So the bottom line is, he
- 3:13Speaker 5: doesn't play very well against good defenses and Jacksonville took
- 3:16Speaker 5: advantage of that. And, and I think that's why they,
- 3:18Speaker 5: they won that football game. I mean, we could say
- 3:20Speaker 5: it might, if not for a couple of drops of blood,
- 3:24Speaker 5: maybe the game is different. Did you see that today?
- 3:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw. So obviously we have that Drake may
- 3:29Speaker 3: fumble situation that Devon Hamilton rolled over onto the ball.
- 3:32Speaker 3: And after the game, Drake may said that his center
- 3:34Speaker 3: had blood on his hands. And you can see in
- 3:36Speaker 3: one of the photos, there's blood on Drake May's hand
- 3:38Speaker 3: when he's throwing the football, but it's for me.
- 3:41Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Okay. Say that happened. Fine. That's what happened. It's the
- 3:45Speaker 3: lack of mental fortitude because he looks broken almost after that.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Like it's, it's, it reminds me slightly of when, uh,
- 3:53Speaker 3: the Jaguars two years ago, it was like, if one
- 3:55Speaker 3: thing went wrong, it was everything went wrong because that's
- 3:58Speaker 3: how Drake made it. Like the second, anything is a
- 4:00Speaker 3: rye or not what is expected. He kind of crumbles
- 4:03Speaker 3: and it's, I don't know. It seems mental. Cause he's,
- 4:06Speaker 3: he can throw the ball to me. It, it seems
- 4:09Speaker 3: like it's mental right now.
- 4:10Speaker 4: Well, and it's wild that I've seen him playing snow
- 4:13Speaker 4: games and was able to grip onto the ball, but
- 4:15Speaker 4: we talk about a little plasma here and there. And
- 4:17Speaker 4: now all of a sudden it's like, you know, the
- 4:18Speaker 4: end of the world, uh, not going to get him
- 4:20Speaker 4: off the hook for some, for a couple of drops
- 4:22Speaker 4: of blood, uh, fumbling the football. I mean, he's gotta
- 4:25Speaker 4: be better than that. He has to make better decisions, uh,
- 4:27Speaker 4: in the end zone as well. That passage I was
- 4:29Speaker 4: on her was, was gift wrap, but yeah, um this
- 4:31Speaker 4: is a guy and listen i think he's to the
- 4:34Speaker 4: point i talked about this in the pre-game show a
- 4:35Speaker 4: little bit drake may is a type of guy where
- 4:37Speaker 4: when he has great players around him he can sustain
- 4:40Speaker 4: and he can and he can do his thing but
- 4:42Speaker 4: i don't think he's to the point in his career
- 4:44Speaker 4: and even though the numbers may say differently but he
- 4:46Speaker 4: can't elevate the guys around him like he's not gonna
- 4:48Speaker 4: make romeo dobbs i feel like a household name right
- 4:51Speaker 4: and and i don't know i think if aj brown
- 4:52Speaker 4: was back it wouldn't made a difference yesterday but drake
- 4:55Speaker 4: may's not quite there yet to elevate the guys.
- 4:57Speaker 5: Around him Yeah, and on that play, by the way,
- 5:01Speaker 5: I watched it today on the 22, he's got a
- 5:04Speaker 5: chance for a big play down the sideline. Did you
- 5:06Speaker 5: watch it?
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I did, yeah.
- 5:08Speaker 5: The guy's clearing there, and it would have been, I mean,
- 5:11Speaker 5: he would have had to hit it, but it was
- 5:13Speaker 5: available until the blood dropped the ball, and that kind
- 5:17Speaker 5: of changed the whole.
- 5:19Speaker 6: feel of that game right there.
- 5:20Speaker 5: And it's funny how it did because Jacksonville's offense came
- 5:24Speaker 5: alive after that. They weren't doing much before that. And
- 5:27Speaker 5: once he dropped the football, they kind of came alive
- 5:29Speaker 5: a little bit. So it's interesting that one play like that,
- 5:32Speaker 5: whether it's a drop of blood or whatever, he dropped
- 5:35Speaker 5: the ball, turns that game around because that might have
- 5:38Speaker 5: been a touchdown. I don't know if it would have been,
- 5:40Speaker 5: but there was a possibility down the right sideline that
- 5:42Speaker 5: it would have been. And who knows what happens from there?
- 5:45Speaker 5: So a little drop of blood. Maybe that's the lucky
- 5:48Speaker 5: blood that Jacksonville needs or something.
- 5:50Speaker 1: I mean, maybe, right? Because it did change the momentum
- 5:52Speaker 1: of the game.
- 5:53Speaker 5: Put it in a vial and carry it around on
- 5:54Speaker 5: your neck.
- 5:55Speaker 6: Maybe we can get some of that, you know?
- 5:57Speaker 4: But even, okay, say worst case scenario, and they score
- 6:00Speaker 4: their touchdown 7-0, Patriots, they have all the momentum. I
- 6:04Speaker 4: still have a hard time believing the Jaguars don't blow
- 6:06Speaker 4: this team out simply because of the Jaguars could run
- 6:08Speaker 4: the football and the Patriots couldn't. Like, I just don't
- 6:11Speaker 4: think Drake May's arm and the weapons that he had
- 6:14Speaker 4: could have gotten a track meet. Because if they would
- 6:16Speaker 4: have scored there, then you're talking about a track meet,
- 6:18Speaker 4: which the Patriots were not equipped for.
- 6:21Speaker 5: I agree with you. I think Jackson was clearly a
- 6:23Speaker 5: better team. I don't think there's any doubt about that. Now,
- 6:26Speaker 5: if A.J. Brown's on the field, you know, maybe that
- 6:29Speaker 5: changes it a little bit. But you're right.
- 6:33Speaker 6: They pushed them around in the run game.
- 6:35Speaker 5: I mean, we went into that game thinking, oh, well,
- 6:37Speaker 5: those down defensive linemen are good players. They've been having
- 6:41Speaker 5: good years. Barmore is a good player. Milton Williams is
- 6:44Speaker 5: a good player. Those guys got pushed around. And then
- 6:47Speaker 5: when you really dissect their team, I don't know how
- 6:49Speaker 5: talented they are. And so Jacksonville, kudos to the way
- 6:52Speaker 5: they ran the ball. And by the way, Newton ran
- 6:54Speaker 5: the ball again. What happened in that little sequence when
- 6:57Speaker 5: they took him out?
- 6:58Speaker 6: Was he dinged up at all? Was he cramping or something?
- 7:01Speaker 3: I didn't hear anything about it. I remember what you're
- 7:03Speaker 3: talking about. He was kind of getting in flow state,
- 7:06Speaker 3: as he likes to say. But overall, good day for
- 7:09Speaker 3: Tootin and for C-Rod as well to get them both touchdowns.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence, very generous and kind, got Tootin his one
- 7:17Speaker 3: touchdown on the day. I think it was a brain
- 7:19Speaker 3: fart moment, personally.
- 7:20Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 7:21Speaker 5: I mean, he admitted it was. That's the best thing
- 7:24Speaker 5: about it. By the way, look at this blog by Harrison. Wow.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Christian Gonzalez.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Oof. It's so good. Every time.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:31Speaker 5: What would you.
- 7:32Speaker 6: There's eight minutes.
- 7:33Speaker 5: I worry that Trevor thought there was less time than that.
- 7:36Speaker 5: Why would he do that?
- 7:37Speaker 3: It was a long drive. I think he thought he
- 7:39Speaker 3: was burning more time than was... Like, you know, if
- 7:41Speaker 3: you're down to maybe five minutes, even then, I think
- 7:44Speaker 3: also that game was so in hand. I understand that
- 7:47Speaker 3: is not the correct thing to do. But did you
- 7:49Speaker 3: have any faith that if they didn't score there, Drake
- 7:53Speaker 3: May was going to wage a comeback?
- 7:55Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 7:55Speaker 6: Otherwise, it's the mercy knee.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Well, I was at the mercy knee.
- 7:59Speaker 4: I was under the impression that he was maybe calling
- 8:01Speaker 4: out Tim Tebow, the Tebowing from back in the day.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Maybe calling out Tim Tebow for going to Denver and
- 8:06Speaker 4: playing that play with the Broncos instead of Jacksonville.
- 8:08Speaker 1: That's what I thought it was, Pete.
- 8:10Speaker 5: He's bringing back memories of the knees that were taken
- 8:14Speaker 5: against the Jaguars in 1995 that people don't remember.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Okay.
- 8:18Speaker 5: True story.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Okay.
- 8:20Speaker 6: The Jaguars are playing at Detroit.
- 8:22Speaker 5: You can look this up. At Detroit, they're getting blown
- 8:24Speaker 5: to smithereens. I think it was 45-nothing, maybe. And in
- 8:30Speaker 5: the third quarter, in the third quarter, the Lions started
- 8:33Speaker 5: taking knees. Could you imagine if that happened today?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Will there be a fight?
- 8:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:38Speaker 5: It was embarrassing, A. It was insulting, B. And it
- 8:43Speaker 5: would have gone viral nowadays.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Couldn't get away with that, sneakily. Definitely not. The offense...
- 8:50Speaker 3: as we talked about, needed to spread the ball around
- 8:52Speaker 3: a little bit more. They did that. Jacoby Myers had
- 8:55Speaker 3: a great day against his former team. Eight targets, seven receptions, touchdown,
- 8:59Speaker 3: 64 yards. And they spread the ball around. Myers got
- 9:02Speaker 3: eight targets. Parker Washington got five. Strange got five. Quinn
- 9:07Speaker 3: Allen got two, Tootin got two, Josh Cameron got two,
- 9:10Speaker 3: BTJ only got one. But getting everybody involved, and it
- 9:13Speaker 3: seemed like they were splitting reps between Josh Cameron and BTJ,
- 9:19Speaker 3: specifically early in the game Josh Cameron was in, that
- 9:21Speaker 3: first drive mostly.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think that was kind of a
- 9:23Speaker 4: statement towards BTJ. And, you know, I'll say this one
- 9:26Speaker 4: thing about the coaching regime. The regime and, you know,
- 9:29Speaker 4: general manager, whatever you want to call it, they're consistent.
- 9:32Speaker 4: And it doesn't matter where you're drafted. It doesn't matter
- 9:34Speaker 4: how much money they spend on you in free agency
- 9:36Speaker 4: or how tied they are to you. If they feel
- 9:38Speaker 4: like they can't trust you and they have depth, they'll
- 9:40Speaker 4: find someone that they can trust.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And I think yesterday was a.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Little bit of a call-out to Brian Thomas Jr. saying, hey, man,
- 9:47Speaker 4: if you keep dropping balls, we've got other guys ready
- 9:49Speaker 4: to take your spot. And listen, this isn't an ode
- 9:53Speaker 4: to Brian Thomas Jr. I think he can handle this
- 9:56Speaker 4: and respond accordingly. But to me, this just goes, we
- 9:59Speaker 4: have depth. at this position and if you can't do
- 10:01Speaker 4: your job somebody else will it was a great.
- 10:04Speaker 5: Play design by the way i love the play design
- 10:07Speaker 5: right there you'll get him in the middle you clear
- 10:09Speaker 5: out with the guy get in between the dropping defensive
- 10:11Speaker 5: end and make it easy throw. And Trevor did a
- 10:14Speaker 5: nice job of looking that off, but you know, back
- 10:16Speaker 5: to Cameron, he's a better run blocker and they wanted
- 10:19Speaker 5: to run. They were clearly going to run the ball.
- 10:21Speaker 5: And I think that's part of the reason why he's
- 10:23Speaker 5: on the field. If you look at him, he can
- 10:25Speaker 5: block on the edge. He gets them outside. He did
- 10:28Speaker 5: some really good things. I mean, he's a good football player.
- 10:31Speaker 5: You know, you know, he, special teams. He can do
- 10:33Speaker 5: a lot of things and you're right. He's probably sending
- 10:36Speaker 5: a message to Brian Thomas. So, you know, you've got
- 10:38Speaker 5: to catch the football and you've got to become more
- 10:40Speaker 5: of a factor in this passing game. So they have, look,
- 10:45Speaker 5: there's so many weapons right now that the corner doesn't
- 10:48Speaker 5: need to play wide receiver, right?
- 10:50Speaker 1: Not even close. Yeah. And once again, Josh Cameron, another touchdown.
- 10:54Speaker 4: And Pete, you said it was a great design, you know,
- 10:57Speaker 4: kind of teasing the perimeter a little bit with motion.
- 10:59Speaker 4: And then the play previous to that, I think was
- 11:01Speaker 4: the doula, uh, Bubble screen, Pete's kind of favorite thing.
- 11:04Speaker 4: He likes to run on the perimeter. Yeah, that kind
- 11:05Speaker 4: of got blown up. Strange couldn't get there. But they
- 11:09Speaker 4: were threatening that perimeter up until that point, right? And
- 11:12Speaker 4: then even you said, I think it was Myers that
- 11:14Speaker 4: went in motion.
- 11:15Speaker 1: I can't remember. It might have been Parker.
- 11:16Speaker 6: Yeah, he came out.
- 11:16Speaker 4: Was it Myers that went in motion? Yeah, so Myers
- 11:19Speaker 4: goes in motion. Once again, they threaten the perimeter. And
- 11:22Speaker 4: even that defensive end that drops back is kind of
- 11:23Speaker 4: looking to the sidelines a little bit. And all of
- 11:25Speaker 4: a sudden, yeah, don't forget about Josh Cameron in the
- 11:27Speaker 4: middle of the field for that touchdown.
- 11:29Speaker 5: How many times was the bubble screen blown up? Sunday.
- 11:32Speaker 3: What was the one where Strange ran into? Was that Abdullah?
- 11:35Speaker 1: I think there was two.
- 11:36Speaker 5: The one where they ran into each other.
- 11:38Speaker 6: There was one on the left-hand side, and there was
- 11:40Speaker 6: one on.
- 11:40Speaker 1: The right-hand side.
- 11:41Speaker 3: The one on the left-hand side was very bad-looking.
- 11:44Speaker 5: Yeah, it was Gonzalez who blew that one up, I think,
- 11:47Speaker 5: on the left-hand side. It almost looked like he was
- 11:48Speaker 5: going to pick it off and go the other way.
- 11:51Speaker 3: He almost did.
- 11:51Speaker 5: You know how much I love that play. I was
- 11:53Speaker 5: just waiting for all I needed was the jet sweep,
- 11:56Speaker 5: and I would have had it completed my day.
- 11:58Speaker 3: You do love the end around. You love that.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Pete Prisco bingo a little bit. I like it.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Let's give some credit to the defense. Once again, Pete,
- 12:07Speaker 3: I saw you tweeting about it. They stopped the run.
- 12:10Speaker 3: That is their identity to their core. They did that.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Travion Henderson only had 23 yards on eight carries. Armando
- 12:17Speaker 3: Stevenson had seven carries, 22 yards. They had a couple
- 12:21Speaker 3: runs in garbage time to get that up. So 83
- 12:24Speaker 3: total rushing yards for the team. But it starts there
- 12:27Speaker 3: for them, and I.
- 12:28Speaker 6: Mean, it starts, it's, you know where it starts.
- 12:31Speaker 5: It starts with 52. I mean, that guy in this league,
- 12:37Speaker 5: if you ask the majority of people who cover this
- 12:41Speaker 5: league and watch this league and follow this league, they
- 12:45Speaker 5: have no earthly idea who Devon Hamilton is none. They
- 12:48Speaker 5: have no idea. And he is such a big part
- 12:52Speaker 5: of what they do on defense because I mean, he
- 12:55Speaker 5: might be the best run-stuffing defensive tackle in the league.
- 13:00Speaker 5: And to me, there's great value in that. I mean,
- 13:04Speaker 5: he was dominant on Sunday. I mean, he was throwing
- 13:08Speaker 5: guys around. I mean, it was as impressive a performance
- 13:12Speaker 5: inside for a guy that's not known as a pass rusher,
- 13:14Speaker 5: even got a half a sack.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Well, then he caused that forced fumble, too. Yeah, forced fumble.
- 13:19Speaker 4: And it kind of retraced his steps. That's when Drake
- 13:21Speaker 4: May took off. I think that was Armstead, too, kind
- 13:23Speaker 4: of got... Boggled down a little bit. May goes on
- 13:26Speaker 4: the outside. And then Devon Hamilton, listen, you think of
- 13:29Speaker 4: nose tackle, right? You think of the zero or the
- 13:32Speaker 4: one technique, and you have the preconceived notions of the
- 13:34Speaker 4: guy can't really move that well. Great job retracing and
- 13:37Speaker 4: causing that fumble.
- 13:39Speaker 3: He's, to me, the epitome of, when we talk about
- 13:41Speaker 3: O-line or D-line to some degree in the center, you
- 13:44Speaker 3: don't want to hear anybody's name, or they don't get
- 13:46Speaker 3: enough credit, right? Because they're doing the dirty work and
- 13:49Speaker 3: the stuff that's really important, but not necessarily a stat
- 13:51Speaker 3: sheet filler. But he did get on the stat sheet
- 13:53Speaker 3: this week. So he had the half sack and forced fumble,
- 13:56Speaker 3: fumble recovery. So tons of love for Devon.
- 13:58Speaker 5: He got dinged up. I mean, I know he went
- 14:00Speaker 5: in with the back. What happened?
- 14:02Speaker 6: Did they say anything today about him?
- 14:03Speaker 5: I didn't see that.
- 14:04Speaker 3: I think he got kicked when he was in the
- 14:05Speaker 3: pile there. He was okay. He came back in the
- 14:07Speaker 3: game after that. So he was all right.
- 14:08Speaker 6: Okay, I just want to make sure. Because you never
- 14:09Speaker 6: know with his back. You got to be careful with
- 14:11Speaker 6: all that stuff.
- 14:12Speaker 3: And your back is always, once you have a back,
- 14:14Speaker 3: it's always, it feels like it's always a back.
- 14:15Speaker 5: You know, one thing about that, though, Kai, is, look,
- 14:18Speaker 5: he is such a good run player. Trayvon Walker and
- 14:23Speaker 5: Josh Hines-Allen, such good run players, and they stop the run,
- 14:28Speaker 5: you would think that would lead to productive pass rush. Yeah.
- 14:34Speaker 5: And it doesn't.
- 14:34Speaker 3: We have yet to see.
- 14:35Speaker 4: Pete, let me ask you this because, you know, I
- 14:37Speaker 4: know you watch the film and everything. Did it almost
- 14:39Speaker 4: seem like yesterday the game plan more from that defensive
- 14:41Speaker 4: line and passing situations was to try to like. contain
- 14:44Speaker 4: and bottle Drake May more than it was like.
- 14:46Speaker 5: Mushrush, yeah.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 14:49Speaker 5: And the feeling with him around the league is if
- 14:52Speaker 5: you keep him in the pocket, he's ordinary. Sure. But
- 14:58Speaker 5: as he showed on Sunday, sometimes when he gets out
- 15:01Speaker 5: of the pocket, he's ordinary. When he threw it into
- 15:04Speaker 5: Travis Hunter's stomach. So, yeah, but to watch the rush,
- 15:07Speaker 5: the way they rushed, it wasn't– you're right. It wasn't
- 15:10Speaker 5: an all-out, up-the-field kind of rush.
- 15:12Speaker 6: They kind of kept him enclosed and tried to.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Keep him inside that pocket.
- 15:15Speaker 5: Overloading too.
- 15:15Speaker 4: Like on the line of scrimmage, they would overload a
- 15:17Speaker 4: little bit. And this is the thing with quarterbacks. They
- 15:20Speaker 4: call this like the– the step-up line or the honey
- 15:22Speaker 4: hole coaches refer to it as, believe it or not. And,
- 15:25Speaker 4: you know, every quarterback has a spot where they like
- 15:28Speaker 4: to step up, right? And it's your job as defensive coordinator,
- 15:30Speaker 4: defensive line coach to take that spot away. Now, some
- 15:33Speaker 4: quarterbacks are better than others. I remember I played against
- 15:36Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers didn't matter where you rushed him from.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Like our game plan against Aaron Rodgers is we're not
- 15:41Speaker 4: going to blitz. We're not going to run any games
- 15:43Speaker 4: because the guy can step up anywhere and make it happen.
- 15:46Speaker 4: So it's almost like you kind of just got to
- 15:47Speaker 4: bull rush and kind of look in the backfield, make
- 15:49Speaker 4: sure he doesn't take off. I got a little bit
- 15:52Speaker 4: of that vibe yesterday with Drake May. They were afraid
- 15:55Speaker 4: of him getting to the perimeter and everything and creating plays.
- 15:57Speaker 1: And I get it.
- 15:58Speaker 4: He's kind of like Bo Nix. He's a lot better
- 16:00Speaker 4: escaping the pocket than he is in the pocket. But
- 16:03Speaker 4: I still feel like you have Josh Hines on. You
- 16:05Speaker 4: have Trayvon Walker. You can turn him loose probably a
- 16:07Speaker 4: little more.
- 16:08Speaker 5: I would agree.
- 16:10Speaker 1: I would agree.
- 16:10Speaker 5: And they need to be turned loose a little more
- 16:12Speaker 5: because they've got to start getting some sacks. I mean,
- 16:14Speaker 5: you've got to get guys on the ground.
- 16:16Speaker 3: I think when you play good teams, you're going to
- 16:17Speaker 3: need that. We haven't seen it. to this point, but
- 16:20Speaker 3: maybe they'll scheme something up later or get some more
- 16:23Speaker 3: contributions from what they have on this roster. Tons to
- 16:26Speaker 3: talk about today. It's Jaguars Victory Monday here on Jaguars
- 16:30Speaker 3: Happy Hour. Stay with us. It's presented by Jet Home Loans. Fans,
- 16:38Speaker 3: on Tuesday, tomorrow, September 29th, from 6 to 7, head
- 16:41Speaker 3: to Publix at 13170 Atlantic Boulevard to meet some of
- 16:44Speaker 3: your favorite players, Jackson DeVille, members of the Roar, as well. Publix,
- 16:48Speaker 3: where shopping is a pleasure.
- 16:50Speaker 1: It's really a cultural thing around here. I mean, yeah,
- 16:53Speaker 1: you might lose some games here and there, but we
- 16:55Speaker 1: always want to bounce back.
- 16:56Speaker 5: We always play physical.
- 16:57Speaker 1: We always want to dominate our opponent. You know, after
- 17:00Speaker 1: a loss like that, especially, it was the main emphasis
- 17:02Speaker 1: this week.
- 17:04Speaker 3: You don't get the opportunity often. I'm going to give
- 17:06Speaker 3: a nose tackle as much time on camera and as
- 17:08Speaker 3: much time as we can talk about him. We're also
- 17:10Speaker 3: going to talk about our player of the game brought
- 17:12Speaker 3: to you by Publix for Shopping is a Pleasure. Pete,
- 17:14Speaker 3: I think your vote, does your vote go to Devon
- 17:16Speaker 3: or do you have someone else in mind?
- 17:19Speaker 5: No, I think he, to me, he wins it. I'm
- 17:22Speaker 5: all for giving a defensive tackle, nose tackle, some love
- 17:26Speaker 5: once in a while. I mean, give the big guy
- 17:27Speaker 5: some love. He's just such a big part of what
- 17:30Speaker 5: they do, and nobody knows who he is. Yeah. Seriously.
- 17:34Speaker 3: He's so soft-spoken, too, so it's extra funny because he's
- 17:36Speaker 3: just this big dude, and he just talks very lightly.
- 17:40Speaker 5: Plus what he's come through, dealt with. I mean, it's
- 17:43Speaker 5: an incredible story, and DeRocco wrote a really good story
- 17:46Speaker 5: on it. And detailed the whole thing. And look, it's
- 17:49Speaker 5: an incredible story. And it's a tribute to him to
- 17:53Speaker 5: fight back to be the player he was. He's a
- 17:55Speaker 5: better player now than before all that stuff happened. Yeah.
- 17:58Speaker 3: So Devon Hamilton had a back injury two or three
- 18:00Speaker 3: years ago, was it now? It was two years ago.
- 18:04Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 18:05Speaker 6: Yeah, not last season, the season before.
- 18:08Speaker 3: And turned into an infection.
- 18:09Speaker 5: And he had some kind of infection in his back,
- 18:11Speaker 5: and it was dangerous to the point.
- 18:13Speaker 3: That they were worried about his life and death. It
- 18:15Speaker 3: was life-threatening, yes. And so not only to be able
- 18:18Speaker 3: to be healthy, also to be able to play football
- 18:20Speaker 3: and play at this level. So good guy, good game.
- 18:24Speaker 3: I'm all for it. So that's my player.
- 18:25Speaker 5: Of the game, Nick.
- 18:26Speaker 4: I mean, and I agree with you. Shout out to
- 18:27Speaker 4: the Nostack. If we're getting player of the game, I
- 18:29Speaker 4: just can't believe Pete didn't go with Tootin, man. I mean,
- 18:31Speaker 4: if anybody's been campaigning for Tootin to get the football,
- 18:34Speaker 4: it's been Pete Prisco.
- 18:35Speaker 1: And now he finally saw it come to fruition.
- 18:37Speaker 5: He still didn't get the ball enough in my book.
- 18:38Speaker 3: He still didn't get the ball enough.
- 18:39Speaker 5: That's true.
- 18:41Speaker 6: I was watching the game and I'm sitting there.
- 18:43Speaker 5: I'm thinking, OK, he had a couple of runs and
- 18:46Speaker 5: then he went out. And then it was Rodriguez.
- 18:49Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, Rodriguez get one.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Change of pace.
- 18:51Speaker 6: Then he got two. Then he got three. Then he
- 18:53Speaker 6: got four.
- 18:54Speaker 5: And then it was like his whole drive. The rest
- 18:56Speaker 5: of the drive was Rodriguez. Was Tootin cramping or what?
- 19:00Speaker 5: Did something happen to him? Because he went back to
- 19:01Speaker 5: the game.
- 19:01Speaker 3: I didn't hear anything about that. I know they're really
- 19:04Speaker 3: trying to get them both involved. So I don't know
- 19:08Speaker 3: if that was by design or not. It could have been.
- 19:12Speaker 5: Yeah, well, look, Rodriguez ran well. I mean, he did
- 19:15Speaker 5: some good things on Sunday. I mean, he ran the
- 19:17Speaker 5: ball hard. Yeah, yeah. But I just think there's a difference.
- 19:20Speaker 5: You see Tootin bounce to the outside. He can get outside.
- 19:24Speaker 5: Rodriguez can't do that. That, to me, is the biggest difference.
- 19:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I almost think with Rodriguez, it's more of like,
- 19:30Speaker 4: you know, when it's a fourth quarter, you're up by
- 19:32Speaker 4: a little bit, you've got to run some clock down
- 19:34Speaker 4: and impose your will.
- 19:35Speaker 1: That's where Chris Rodriguez steps into play.
- 19:37Speaker 4: And, listen, it's nice to have– a little bit of variety, right? Like,
- 19:40Speaker 4: you know, Tootin's going to get you, he can get
- 19:42Speaker 4: you eight, nine yards and Rod Reed's and get you
- 19:44Speaker 4: that hard four or five. I mean, it's, it's a
- 19:47Speaker 4: good problem to have, but like, once again, with this team,
- 19:49Speaker 4: when you talk about well who's showcasing their skills right
- 19:52Speaker 4: now who's doing their thing it's obviously tootin', right? So
- 19:55Speaker 4: I think you got to keep on riding the hot
- 19:57Speaker 4: hand until you can't trust him anymore. And right now,
- 20:00Speaker 4: he's giving you no reason why you can't trust him
- 20:02Speaker 4: in a larger capacity.
- 20:04Speaker 5: By the way, let's run that play.
- 20:06Speaker 6: That play is typical of Rodriguez.
- 20:09Speaker 5: If you run it from behind, why doesn't he just
- 20:11Speaker 5: pop it to the left and there's nobody there?
- 20:13Speaker 3: Because he needs contact.
- 20:16Speaker 5: He ran to the contact.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Exactly, he did. Yeah, if you're going to get a touchdown,
- 20:21Speaker 1: hit somebody.
- 20:22Speaker 5: Dude might have popped that left and just walked in,
- 20:26Speaker 5: but that's the difference. And look, I'm not taking it
- 20:28Speaker 5: away from Rodriguez. He played well yesterday, I thought. But again,
- 20:31Speaker 5: you run right into the back of the guy. Why
- 20:33Speaker 5: didn't you just go to the left and nobody touches you?
- 20:35Speaker 1: Yeah, let them know you're there, Pete. Yeah, let them
- 20:37Speaker 1: know you're there sometimes.
- 20:38Speaker 5: One thing that I saw a lot of yesterday that
- 20:41Speaker 5: I thought was really good was strange as the lead
- 20:45Speaker 5: blocker in the backfield.
- 20:47Speaker 6: Almost as the fullback at times.
- 20:49Speaker 5: Yeah. And he did a really nice job in that role.
- 20:53Speaker 5: He's such a good football player. I mean, he can
- 20:55Speaker 5: do so many different things. And Liam Cohen gets creative
- 20:59Speaker 5: with him, which I think is good.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Pete, what did the tape look like? Did they use
- 21:02Speaker 3: more 12 personnel at all? I know they use strange
- 21:04Speaker 3: in different ways, but.
- 21:06Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, there were times where there were three
- 21:08Speaker 5: tight ends on the field. Then, of course, they brought
- 21:10Speaker 5: the fourth tight end, Milam, in. And I'll tell you what,
- 21:13Speaker 5: that play, when he came in and he went in
- 21:15Speaker 5: motion and pulled around, he actually did a nice job
- 21:19Speaker 5: of sealing that.
- 21:20Speaker 6: And he looked like he was moving when he did that.
- 21:23Speaker 5: So creativity. And you know what you can also see
- 21:26Speaker 5: when you watch the tape? You can see Liam setting
- 21:31Speaker 5: up things for down the road. Mm-hmm. the boots out
- 21:34Speaker 5: the back door and, and, and like we saw strange
- 21:40Speaker 5: as a lead blocker and blasting guys and stuff. It's
- 21:44Speaker 5: not too far off where he just sneaks out that
- 21:47Speaker 5: thing and doesn't block anybody. It just gets wide open
- 21:50Speaker 5: because nobody's paying attention to him down the field. I mean,
- 21:53Speaker 5: there are so many variations and I can almost see
- 21:57Speaker 5: him coming. When I watched the plays, there was one
- 22:00Speaker 5: play I think where, He put somebody in motion and
- 22:04Speaker 5: the run went that way, but you can see Trevor
- 22:06Speaker 5: booting around, playing the play fake through, even though he
- 22:11Speaker 5: handed it off. Yet there's going to be somebody on
- 22:13Speaker 5: the other side when he does that. There's so many
- 22:15Speaker 5: things off of, I'm telling you, the lead because teams
- 22:20Speaker 5: are running that now where they lead through with the,
- 22:23Speaker 5: like the fullback and he sneaks out and maybe picks
- 22:26Speaker 5: off the back goes behind him or, or he becomes
- 22:29Speaker 5: the guy in the route where he sneaks through.
- 22:31Speaker 6: I think that's coming for strange.
- 22:33Speaker 4: Well, and it really, and it shows you to Pete,
- 22:35Speaker 4: when they can run the football, it drastically helps out
- 22:38Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence as well.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Right.
- 22:39Speaker 4: And, and I'm under the impression if they can get
- 22:42Speaker 4: close to a hundred yards a game rushing, you're going
- 22:44Speaker 4: to talk about Trevor Lawrence being the MVP conversation, you know, like, Now,
- 22:47Speaker 4: not to say he can't throw for 40 times a game,
- 22:50Speaker 4: but that's not what they want to do, right?
- 22:51Speaker 1: And that's not efficient.
- 22:52Speaker 4: If they can run for 100 yards a game, mark
- 22:55Speaker 4: my words, Trevor Lawrence will be in the MVP conversation.
- 22:58Speaker 5: What's his numbers right now as we speak? Because the
- 23:00Speaker 5: yardage numbers aren't great.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Let's see. I'll look them up.
- 23:04Speaker 5: You guys check them out. But, yeah, I don't think
- 23:06Speaker 5: the yardage numbers are great, but the touchdown numbers, the
- 23:09Speaker 5: interception numbers are great.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:12Speaker 3: He'll have one less rushing touchdown, of course.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there's going to be a little asterisk
- 23:16Speaker 4: next to that, I feel like, if they're in New
- 23:18Speaker 4: York or the NFL Honors.
- 23:19Speaker 5: Yeah, but at some place, he's going to take one
- 23:21Speaker 5: of his touchdowns, too, though. We know how that goes.
- 23:23Speaker 3: It always works that way, doesn't it?
- 23:28Speaker 5: Yeah, because the interception yesterday that he threw, I'm not
- 23:33Speaker 5: so sure that's on him.
- 23:35Speaker 1: I see. I thought it was Pete. I mean, like
- 23:37Speaker 1: it was a good play by the defender here.
- 23:39Speaker 3: It wasn't a bad, he forced the throw.
- 23:41Speaker 1: But yeah, you can't throw when you saw the end
- 23:43Speaker 1: zone shot.
- 23:45Speaker 4: Also, he also had a guy that was kind of
- 23:46Speaker 4: wide open.
- 23:46Speaker 5: I don't know if that was, look at, look, see,
- 23:49Speaker 5: that's off the strangers hands.
- 23:51Speaker 1: I thought I could have swore it got deflected though.
- 23:53Speaker 1: It's hard to tell, but can I see that?
- 23:55Speaker 6: Is there a way we can see that again from
- 23:58Speaker 6: that end zone?
- 23:59Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
- 24:01Speaker 3: It makes it too strange and then goes off his hands.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I think it got deflected.
- 24:06Speaker 5: You think it got... I don't think it got deflected.
- 24:08Speaker 3: I thought it did. There's one guy's hand up there, but.
- 24:12Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't think it got deflected.
- 24:13Speaker 5: No, because it doesn't want to change. Where did it
- 24:15Speaker 5: get deflected? Right there? I mean, no.
- 24:16Speaker 1: Do you think the DB deflected it? I really do, yeah.
- 24:21Speaker 5: I don't... It didn't look like it. It looks like
- 24:23Speaker 5: it goes off his hands.
- 24:25Speaker 3: All right, Trevor so far has 616 passing yards, seven touchdowns,
- 24:29Speaker 3: two interceptions.
- 24:30Speaker 5: What was it? How many yards? 616.
- 24:31Speaker 3: So he's averaging.
- 24:35Speaker 6: A little over 200 yards per game.
- 24:37Speaker 3: Yeah, because he only had 100-something yesterday.
- 24:39Speaker 1: If we can watch that play one more time, too.
- 24:40Speaker 4: I couldn't tell who the slot was here, even watching
- 24:43Speaker 4: back on the film, but he had a guy wide
- 24:46Speaker 4: open that he just– the guy gets out of his
- 24:47Speaker 4: stance late. I can't tell if that's Brian Thomas Jr. Cameron,
- 24:50Speaker 4: but he had a guy wide open just like on
- 24:52Speaker 4: that out. Yeah, on the outer right. If he just
- 24:54Speaker 4: saw that, laid out the stance, but wide open right there.
- 24:58Speaker 4: It would have been an easy first down for him.
- 24:59Speaker 1: But yeah.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Mistakes happen.
- 25:02Speaker 5: But, I mean, it's like it almost– I think you
- 25:05Speaker 5: got a hand on that, Pete.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead.
- 25:09Speaker 6: The interception at the end of the Bills game.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Oh, like the tip ball, yeah.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Remember?
- 25:15Speaker 3: Was that off Myers? Who was that off of?
- 25:17Speaker 5: That was off of Myers, and it should have been
- 25:18Speaker 5: thrown there because he had Parker Washington on the over
- 25:21Speaker 5: route for a big play, and he didn't see him. But, again,
- 25:25Speaker 5: you know, it was one mistake. I think it could
- 25:29Speaker 5: have been caught. I don't think it was tipped, but
- 25:31Speaker 5: you probably shouldn't have thrown it there.
- 25:33Speaker 8: Right.
- 25:34Speaker 6: But that was it for him. Other than that, it
- 25:36Speaker 6: was a pretty clean game.
- 25:37Speaker 5: For Trevor Lawrence.
- 25:39Speaker 3: We love to see it. How about the offensive line?
- 25:40Speaker 3: Give them a little credit. After a disastrous week in Denver,
- 25:43Speaker 3: they did okay. I know he was under pressure.
- 25:46Speaker 5: Yeah, and the one in Denver was more where every
- 25:49Speaker 5: play there was at least one or two guys messing up.
- 25:53Speaker 5: So it wasn't, you know, there'd be a guy make
- 25:55Speaker 5: a good block, and then the guy next to him
- 25:57Speaker 5: would stink, or the guy next to him would stink,
- 25:59Speaker 5: and he'd be good.
- 26:00Speaker 6: And it was like that.
- 26:01Speaker 5: And then this week, it was much more consistent. Much
- 26:06Speaker 5: more consistent. I'll tell you what. There are plays on
- 26:08Speaker 5: that tape where Pregnon is mauling dudes. Square, hand, balling, pushing, shoving,
- 26:16Speaker 5: putting them on his back. He did a really nice job.
- 26:19Speaker 5: I thought.
- 26:20Speaker 6: You know, Cleveland was a disaster in Denver.
- 26:23Speaker 5: It was much better this week. Much better.
- 26:26Speaker 1: He had a few, I thought.
- 26:27Speaker 5: Van Lannen, what did you think of Van Lannen?
- 26:29Speaker 6: He had some moments where it wasn't so good.
- 26:31Speaker 4: He had some moments with that speed, with the speed
- 26:33Speaker 4: rip where he got turned around a little bit.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Could have been better.
- 26:37Speaker 4: But I'll say this about the offensive line as a unit.
- 26:40Speaker 4: I think I read a stat, and I don't believe it,
- 26:43Speaker 4: but I'll take the word for it. It's next-gen stats.
- 26:45Speaker 4: The Patriots blitzed over 50% of the time to try
- 26:48Speaker 4: to get after Trevor Lawrence. And any time you do
- 26:50Speaker 4: that and you're sending more than, you know, four, you've
- 26:52Speaker 4: got to be on your P's and Q's in terms
- 26:54Speaker 4: of communication and sliding coverage and calling everything out.
- 26:57Speaker 1: They did a great job of that, I thought.
- 26:59Speaker 4: You know, I mean, for the most part, because and
- 27:00Speaker 4: once again, I get maybe Christian Barmore was a little
- 27:02Speaker 4: banged up and everything, but it's still a great interior
- 27:05Speaker 4: defensive unit. You know, and then the outsides, the addressers,
- 27:08Speaker 4: probably some work. But I thought overall they did a
- 27:11Speaker 4: pretty dang good job of handling the blitzes, keeping Trevor
- 27:13Speaker 4: upright and obviously buying him time.
- 27:16Speaker 1: To get those touchdowns on the day.
- 27:17Speaker 5: And he did a great job of standing in the
- 27:20Speaker 5: face of it.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Yeah, he took some hits on some of those.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Side stepping one here.
- 27:23Speaker 5: Yeah, but like there's free runners. You can't account for
- 27:26Speaker 5: everybody what has to happen. The quarterback has to be
- 27:28Speaker 5: the guy who wins. See, that ball wasn't tipped.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Pete, how can you just be so confident and say that, man?
- 27:34Speaker 5: Look.
- 27:35Speaker 3: You're right, you're right.
- 27:37Speaker 4: The trajectory of the ball is the same. But Pete,
- 27:39Speaker 4: if he catches it, does it get tipped right? Okay,
- 27:42Speaker 4: but then I feel like it's knocked out.
- 27:43Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 27:44Speaker 3: No, that's not that.
- 27:45Speaker 5: He should have caught that.
- 27:47Speaker 1: All right, it's a drop on Brent Strange.
- 27:49Speaker 5: Like, if I'm grading that, if I'm a coach, that's
- 27:51Speaker 5: a minus on... Probably minus for the decision to throw
- 27:55Speaker 5: it there, but also minus on Strange for not catching it.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Take away a gold star.
- 27:58Speaker 5: In fairness to him, it probably should have been P.I.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Well, if it was a tip-off, like Austin says, then
- 28:05Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, right?
- 28:10Speaker 1: What'd you say?
- 28:10Speaker 3: I said, if it's a tip ball, like Austin said,
- 28:12Speaker 3: then it doesn't matter for PI, right?
- 28:13Speaker 5: No, where's it tipped?
- 28:14Speaker 6: I'm saying it's not tipped.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Now, Pete, we literally got an 8K, the 32K zoomed up.
- 28:21Speaker 1: My bad. It's not tipped. Sorry, man. I'm watching the All-22,
- 28:25Speaker 1: and I'm watching the TV cut. I can't zoom up,
- 28:27Speaker 1: you know, 32. Let's see one more time.
- 28:29Speaker 5: Yep.
- 28:33Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I'm watching like the JFK.
- 28:35Speaker 4: Movie, back and to the left, back and to the left.
- 28:40Speaker 6: Like my old ass eyes said, there was no tip.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Dude doesn't know how to use Zoom, but he knows
- 28:46Speaker 4: he can see it wasn't a tip from a mile away.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Congratulations, Pete. I'm going to, hey, I'll tip the hat
- 28:50Speaker 1: to you, man. That was a good one. That was
- 28:51Speaker 1: a good call.
- 28:52Speaker 5: I'm going to get you some of my laser contacts.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Watch out for that mute button later in the show, though.
- 28:56Speaker 6: I can't see it. I wouldn't be able to see
- 28:58Speaker 6: you two right now.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Pete, watch out for that mute button later, all right?
- 29:01Speaker 4: It's 2-0 right now against you later today. Watch out
- 29:03Speaker 4: for that mute button.
- 29:04Speaker 3: We're going to break. Don't mute yourself, Pete. Austin and
- 29:07Speaker 3: I will be back. We're going to answer the Jaguars
- 29:09Speaker 3: fan questions after the break on Jaguars Happy Hour presented

- 29:26Speaker 9: For me, I know he tried me a couple times,
- 29:28Speaker 9: so I was just in there saying, I'm getting too
- 29:30Speaker 9: close to the ball. I got to get me one. So,
- 29:32Speaker 9: you know, we just continue to just do what the
- 29:34Speaker 9: coaches schemed up for us, and we just played our
- 29:36Speaker 9: best ball today.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Travis Hunter, discourse was a majority. of our show last week,
- 29:41Speaker 3: and fortunately the Jaguars won. Travis Hunter got an interception,
- 29:44Speaker 3: and a snap count was up. So, Austin, all for naught.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Or they were listing, and Liam Cohen decided to change
- 29:50Speaker 3: things up.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Decided to change it up a little bit.
- 29:52Speaker 4: Now, there are a lot of rumors, a lot of
- 29:53Speaker 4: speculation from a national standpoint saying he's going to play
- 29:56Speaker 4: a lot more on offense. Didn't really need that, I guess.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Didn't really see that come to fruition. But, listen, we
- 30:01Speaker 4: know what it is, right? Like, yes, I get he's
- 30:04Speaker 4: one of a 53 on that roster. But at the
- 30:06Speaker 4: end of the day, the resources that you took, where
- 30:09Speaker 4: you took him and everything– He is different. Right. And
- 30:11Speaker 4: it was great to see him get that interception. Now,
- 30:14Speaker 4: was he perfect yesterday?
- 30:15Speaker 3: No.
- 30:15Speaker 1: And I think, you know, he still has to grow
- 30:17Speaker 1: into his own a little more in zone coverage.
- 30:19Speaker 5: Right.
- 30:19Speaker 4: Because I think he's more of a man coverage type
- 30:21Speaker 4: of guy. And you saw a couple of times playing
- 30:23Speaker 4: a little too far off. And hopefully those things get
- 30:25Speaker 4: cleaned up and everything for weeks to come.
- 30:29Speaker 7: The one.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Play that Hollins got on him early in the game.
- 30:33Speaker 5: He's peeking into the backfield and kind of... That's another thing.
- 30:39Speaker 5: Know your opponent. Mac Hollins is not running by you.
- 30:43Speaker 5: Remember on the stop route when he beat him for
- 30:47Speaker 5: about 13 yards?
- 30:48Speaker 6: Mac Hollins is not fast. He's not going to run
- 30:51Speaker 6: by you.
- 30:52Speaker 5: So you got to know who that is that he's
- 30:54Speaker 5: not going to run by you and play it that way.
- 30:56Speaker 5: But he got caught peeking in. I thought... on the
- 30:59Speaker 5: big play down the sideline, based on the way the
- 31:02Speaker 5: defense looked, that Jordan Lewis has to sink with no
- 31:06Speaker 5: threat underneath.
- 31:08Speaker 6: And that was his guy. Hunter kind of took the
- 31:11Speaker 6: inside route.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:13Speaker 5: Remember?
- 31:14Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 31:14Speaker 5: On the sideline. I think it was like a 30-yard
- 31:16Speaker 5: gain or something.
- 31:17Speaker 1: There was just, you know what it was, Pete? I
- 31:19Speaker 1: saw hesitation.
- 31:20Speaker 4: Right now, whether or not that's Lewis's guy more than
- 31:24Speaker 4: Hunter's guy, but there's just hesitation there, right? And I
- 31:27Speaker 4: think that's kind of When you talk about zone coverage
- 31:30Speaker 4: with Hunter right now, he does, and man coverage is fine. Hey, Hunter,
- 31:33Speaker 4: go take who you want. Stick on them and it's
- 31:35Speaker 4: good to go. But they don't do that. But when
- 31:37Speaker 4: you talk about zone coverage, now it's like, okay, well,
- 31:39Speaker 4: I got to pass a guy off. I have to
- 31:41Speaker 4: get eyes in the backfield and all this stuff. So
- 31:43Speaker 4: it's just a lot more on somebody's plate. And if
- 31:46Speaker 4: they're not really accustomed to doing that, you see what
- 31:48Speaker 4: can happen. Pete, I want to ask you, man, because
- 31:50Speaker 4: I always thought, you know, playing man-to-man coverage coming from
- 31:53Speaker 4: college to the pros was a lot harder just because
- 31:55Speaker 4: the speed, the route running and everything. Do you think
- 31:58Speaker 4: zone coverage is actually harder to play in the NFL
- 32:01Speaker 4: if you played zone coverage? in college, in terms of
- 32:03Speaker 4: playing man.
- 32:04Speaker 5: But he didn't play a lot of zone in college.
- 32:06Speaker 1: I know, but that's what I'm... Remember.
- 32:08Speaker 6: What they used to tell him?
- 32:10Speaker 5: You go take that guy and cover him, and he
- 32:11Speaker 5: played man-to-man. That's what he did. That's what they did
- 32:13Speaker 5: at Colorado. So that's been the toughest adjustment for him.
- 32:17Speaker 5: And remember, playing zone takes doing it. It's not just
- 32:21Speaker 5: going into that simulator. Like he did a year for
- 32:24Speaker 5: a whole year. It's getting on the field and doing it.
- 32:27Speaker 5: So I don't know if he's, if he's going to
- 32:28Speaker 5: be comfortable playing zone until at least midway through the season. Pete,
- 32:33Speaker 5: do you think it does take a lot of technique
- 32:36Speaker 5: and timing and leverage and reading and everything else? Pete?
- 32:40Speaker 1: I mean, I think we both agree that Hunter is
- 32:42Speaker 1: the better man on man guy.
- 32:44Speaker 4: I think we saw yesterday Jerrion Jones had a great
- 32:46Speaker 4: man coverage where essentially he ran the run. That was
- 32:49Speaker 4: a bad throw, bad timing, but gets his interception right,
- 32:52Speaker 4: reads the route, and a man coverage. I mean, do
- 32:55Speaker 4: you almost have a couple guys now where you look
- 32:56Speaker 4: at where they can maybe man up a little more?
- 32:58Speaker 4: Do you tailor that defense to your players a little
- 33:01Speaker 4: more and start going a little more manned?
- 33:03Speaker 5: Well, and here's the other part of that. If you do,
- 33:05Speaker 5: that means you can turn your blitzes loose a little
- 33:07Speaker 5: bit more. And I'm all, look, I watch the Vikings
- 33:11Speaker 5: and the Vikings turn everything. Now they play a lot
- 33:13Speaker 5: of zone concepts behind it too. But I like it,
- 33:18Speaker 5: you know, and Campanile gives me the idea that he
- 33:21Speaker 5: has things in his back pocket that he's not showing yet.
- 33:24Speaker 5: Probably because of what you said. They want to get
- 33:27Speaker 5: those guys comfortable playing man-to-man. When they can play man-to-man,
- 33:29Speaker 5: I think you'll see more of that. It's interesting. It
- 33:32Speaker 5: was almost like yesterday was a test of sorts because
- 33:38Speaker 5: you saw Hunter played 45 snaps.
- 33:42Speaker 3: He did.
- 33:43Speaker 6: What did Jarrion Jones play?
- 33:45Speaker 3: Jarrion played 46, so we edged him out by one.
- 33:47Speaker 5: Well, there you go. And they played the most.
- 33:49Speaker 3: And it was kind of a flip from what we
- 33:51Speaker 3: saw last week because Monteric now has the least with
- 33:54Speaker 3: 30 snaps, which is 48%. Jordan Lewis had 40 snaps, 63%.
- 33:59Speaker 5: And he had a rough go of it a little bit,
- 34:02Speaker 5: Jordan Lewis.
- 34:02Speaker 3: He did. He had a tough day.
- 34:04Speaker 5: And that's two weeks in a row because he also
- 34:05Speaker 5: had that where he got beat on the sideline by
- 34:08Speaker 5: Waddle late in the game, remember? That was him. Yes.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Maybe Pete's on to something here. Maybe this is the
- 34:13Speaker 1: first three preseason games.
- 34:14Speaker 3: It's slowly happening.
- 34:14Speaker 4: Well, no, maybe they're changing these as the first three
- 34:16Speaker 4: preseason games, and now next week will be the first
- 34:19Speaker 4: regular season game for them.
- 34:20Speaker 3: It's for real next week.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:22Speaker 5: So Jarrion Jones and Travis Hunter need to be on
- 34:25Speaker 5: the field the whole time.
- 34:28Speaker 6: They're the most athletic two of the group.
- 34:32Speaker 5: And I understand Monteric Brown because he is such a
- 34:36Speaker 5: good player in zone, watching things in front of him
- 34:39Speaker 5: and keeping everything and understanding how to come up and
- 34:43Speaker 5: play everything and passing stuff off.
- 34:45Speaker 6: He's probably best at that.
- 34:48Speaker 5: But sometimes you just need to get the better athlete
- 34:50Speaker 5: on the field. You know what I mean?
- 34:52Speaker 6: So I'm not so necessarily.
- 34:55Speaker 5: sure that it's not they love lewis because he brings
- 34:58Speaker 5: that feistiness you know there's a tackle he made in
- 35:01Speaker 5: the run game he came in and blasted a guy
- 35:03Speaker 5: i mean that's what he gives you but when it
- 35:06Speaker 5: comes to coverage jerry jones is better inside i think
- 35:10Speaker 5: than lewis would be don't.
- 35:12Speaker 1: You I agree.
- 35:13Speaker 4: And like, let's not sell a giant Jones to either
- 35:15Speaker 4: with feistiness. I mean, that dude's not afraid to throw
- 35:18Speaker 4: down either, man. You didn't never forget when Trevor Lawrence
- 35:20Speaker 4: got cheap shot at by shy year, like Jerry and
- 35:23Speaker 4: Jones was the first guy in that, that scrap, like
- 35:25Speaker 4: ready to throw down.
- 35:26Speaker 1: And then Doug Peterson yelled at him.
- 35:27Speaker 5: But if that's another story, if you were going to
- 35:29Speaker 5: pick Austin, if you're going to pick three guys to
- 35:31Speaker 5: play 45 snaps, which three would you pick and how
- 35:34Speaker 5: would you play.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Them based off what I've seen right now?
- 35:37Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm going Hunter. Jones and Buster, probably.
- 35:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm probably in agreement with you. I mean, based
- 35:49Speaker 5: on the last two games, I think Lewis has struggled
- 35:52Speaker 5: more than the other two. The other three.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 3: I think when you mention those three guys, or Jarrion
- 35:58Speaker 3: and Travis Hunter specifically, I think Monteric a little bit too,
- 36:02Speaker 3: they have the athletic ability to make up for it
- 36:04Speaker 3: if they do play. maybe hesitate for a half a second.
- 36:08Speaker 3: I don't think Jordan Lewis can make up that speed
- 36:10Speaker 3: as much now. So if a mistake is made, he
- 36:12Speaker 3: can't recover.
- 36:13Speaker 5: No, but you'd also don't want to get Monteric in
- 36:16Speaker 5: man-to-man coverage.
- 36:18Speaker 6: You saw that. What was that? Who was that against?
- 36:20Speaker 3: Was that the end of the Browns?
- 36:21Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't want to get him late in that game.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Was that Boston?
- 36:25Speaker 3: We've seen that over.
- 36:26Speaker 5: The last couple of years. Over the last couple of years,
- 36:29Speaker 5: remember when he played the nickels, guys would run away
- 36:31Speaker 5: from him all the time. That's not his forte either.
- 36:34Speaker 5: But the other two can. You know, Jones and Hunter can,
- 36:38Speaker 5: so that gives you flexibility on how you can call things,
- 36:41Speaker 5: I think, if they're on the field. If you had
- 36:44Speaker 5: to take one off, you would probably take Lewis off. Now,
- 36:49Speaker 5: they won't take one off because that's not what they're
- 36:51Speaker 5: going to do. They're going to play him.
- 36:53Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 36:54Speaker 4: But, okay, I mean, I know they're going to play him, Pete,
- 36:55Speaker 4: but at some point, I think these players are going
- 36:58Speaker 4: to separate themselves from each other, and we're going to know,
- 37:02Speaker 4: you know, who's the better player.
- 37:04Speaker 5: So there's the fourth one.
- 37:05Speaker 6: Get limited to five, seven snaps instead of 30?
- 37:08Speaker 1: I mean, I think eventually that's going to be the case, right?
- 37:12Speaker 5: I mean, if you could trade one of them for
- 37:13Speaker 5: a defensive tackle, I would do that.
- 37:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 37:17Speaker 3: You're making trades? Who are you trying to get?
- 37:21Speaker 5: Go to a team that has no chance and try
- 37:24Speaker 5: and find somebody. I mean, for example, you could trade
- 37:28Speaker 5: Brian Thomas and a corner and try and get a
- 37:32Speaker 5: dominant defensive tackle.
- 37:35Speaker 6: Does that get you out there.
- 37:36Speaker 5: Willing to do that?
- 37:38Speaker 3: Does that get it done? Am I?
- 37:41Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if you're going to get
- 37:43Speaker 5: you're not going to get Jeffrey Simmons from the Titans,
- 37:46Speaker 5: I don't think. But Lord knows you'd love to have
- 37:49Speaker 5: him because nobody's blocking him this year. He's been one
- 37:52Speaker 5: of the most unstoppable guys in the league. He's been
- 37:54Speaker 5: unblockable at times. But you might be able to price
- 37:57Speaker 5: somebody out there free. I mean, go to the crappy teams.
- 38:01Speaker 5: When you get to the crappy, you know the Dolphins
- 38:03Speaker 5: are going to be crappy. I don't think they have
- 38:04Speaker 5: anybody you'd want to go get because you're not going
- 38:06Speaker 5: to pay that kind of premium for like a Zach
- 38:09Speaker 5: Seeler or somebody like that. Go to Tennessee's not going
- 38:13Speaker 5: to give away anybody.
- 38:14Speaker 6: In the division to somebody in their own division.
- 38:16Speaker 5: That's not happening. So you can't get them. Chargers don't
- 38:20Speaker 5: have any elite defensive tackles. They're 0-3.
- 38:22Speaker 6: The Texans are 0-3.
- 38:24Speaker 5: They're not going to give you anybody. See, that's the
- 38:26Speaker 5: problem is finding somebody. Okay. Here's one. Okay. GMP. He
- 38:34Speaker 5: signed a new contract for two years, so you only
- 38:37Speaker 5: have to take his contract for two years because that
- 38:39Speaker 5: was the concern. He wanted a new contract if you're
- 38:41Speaker 5: going to trade for him. The Bucs are 0-3. Their
- 38:45Speaker 5: quarterback has a torn thumb ligament. They're probably going to
- 38:47Speaker 5: be 0-6 or 0-7. They'll be done. What about Vitavia?
- 38:52Speaker 4: Okay, but let me ask you this then. I get
- 38:56Speaker 4: there's some pass rush prowess there. But isn't he essentially
- 38:59Speaker 4: what you have with Devon Hamilton, minus the pass.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Rushing, though?
- 39:03Speaker 6: Yeah, he can pass rush a little bit, too. But
- 39:04Speaker 6: how about the other one?
- 39:04Speaker 1: What is that going to look like, though, Pete? You're
- 39:06Speaker 1: going to have Devon Hamilton and Vita Vea?
- 39:07Speaker 6: How about Elijah Kamsey?
- 39:08Speaker 1: All right.
- 39:11Speaker 6: I'm a little more intrigued.
- 39:12Speaker 5: Maybe they'll be willing to part with him.
- 39:15Speaker 3: What are we sending? Brian Thomas Jr.
- 39:16Speaker 8: And who?
- 39:18Speaker 5: Jordan Lewis, if he can get rid of the contract. See,
- 39:22Speaker 5: I don't think Tampa would do that.
- 39:24Speaker 3: I don't think they would either.
- 39:25Speaker 5: A team that would need a wide receiver would be
- 39:28Speaker 5: willing to do that.
- 39:29Speaker 1: It's not good relations.
- 39:29Speaker 3: You can find a team that's willing.
- 39:31Speaker 5: Maybe.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Or we're playing GM.
- 39:32Speaker 5: I mean, who would be willing? There were supposedly a
- 39:34Speaker 5: lot of teams that wanted a wide. I'll give you,
- 39:37Speaker 5: how about Pittsburgh?
- 39:38Speaker 6: Pittsburgh's in two and one.
- 39:41Speaker 5: Looking, you know, their wide receivers don't scare anybody. Metcalf
- 39:45Speaker 5: is dropping the ball all over the place. Pittman's been
- 39:47Speaker 5: a major disaster for them. Hmm.
- 39:49Speaker 6: Or disappointment.
- 39:50Speaker 5: So Pittsburgh has a bunch of defensive tackles. You might
- 39:53Speaker 5: be able to pry one of those guys free.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Pete, let me ask you this.
- 39:56Speaker 4: Do we hit up JP and their relations? They already
- 39:59Speaker 4: have Dewey. Does Arizona have anybody? Because I feel like
- 40:02Speaker 4: Arizona is in need of a wide receiver right now.
- 40:05Speaker 6: I don't think they're giving up on Harrison yet.
- 40:07Speaker 5: I think that team's building more for the future rather than,
- 40:10Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Harrison, Wilson.
- 40:15Speaker 1: And I know they got Wilson. I'm not sure. Okay,
- 40:17Speaker 1: with Harrison, I feel like Well.
- 40:19Speaker 5: They'll let that play out at least for a couple
- 40:21Speaker 5: more half the season, I think.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Best of luck with that.
- 40:24Speaker 5: All right.
- 40:25Speaker 3: Coming up, we'll talk a little bit. We'll get to
- 40:27Speaker 3: the fan questions is what we will do after this
- 40:30Speaker 3: break here on Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Jet Home Loans.
- 40:35Speaker 3: For 12 years, DreamFinders have been proud to call themselves
- 40:38Speaker 3: the official home builder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Visit DreamFindersHomes.com
- 40:41Speaker 3: for all of the available inventory. Welcome back into Jaguars
- 40:46Speaker 3: Happy Hour. We're going to do some fan questions because
- 40:49Speaker 3: we got chatting and I forgot in the last block.
- 40:51Speaker 3: So let's start out with this. Is the lack of
- 40:53Speaker 3: downfield passing yesterday tied to the decline in BTJ snaps?
- 40:58Speaker 3: Is that going to hinder the offense moving forward? They
- 41:00Speaker 3: only had one play that was over 20 yards. A
- 41:02Speaker 3: lot of smaller plays in the game yesterday. Probably one knock,
- 41:07Speaker 3: you could say. It wasn't any explosives.
- 41:12Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know what?
- 41:13Speaker 5: If you're getting... moving the ball and scoring touchdowns the
- 41:16Speaker 5: way they did running the ball and all the play
- 41:18Speaker 5: action and everything, you don't necessarily need the big plays. Now,
- 41:22Speaker 5: you're going to need them at some point, but is
- 41:26Speaker 5: that because Brian Thomas wasn't on the field? Probably not.
- 41:31Speaker 4: I mean, he is the speed guy, right? He is
- 41:33Speaker 4: the deep threat and everything, so obviously I think the
- 41:35Speaker 4: deep threats do go to him a little more, but
- 41:37Speaker 4: this is, once again, let's just keep him on defense
- 41:40Speaker 4: until further notice, but this is where Travis Hunter could
- 41:42Speaker 4: come into play, too, as well, because We saw it
- 41:44Speaker 4: against the Rams. Like he can be a little bit
- 41:46Speaker 4: of a deep threat as well.
- 41:47Speaker 1: Like I don't think.
- 41:47Speaker 4: People think about Josh Cameron. Like if he's getting more
- 41:50Speaker 4: and more reps, like could he be that deep threat guy?
- 41:52Speaker 1: Because I get the.
- 41:53Speaker 4: Sense of like slants and just, you know, short to
- 41:57Speaker 4: intermediate routes with his size and everything.
- 41:59Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 42:00Speaker 5: He's more of a, he's not a, he doesn't run
- 42:01Speaker 5: like that. That's not his, he's a big body receiver
- 42:04Speaker 5: who he'll make plays down the field. He's just not
- 42:06Speaker 5: going to go run by people. And that has to
- 42:09Speaker 5: be Brian Thomas or Travis Hunter. That's who it has
- 42:11Speaker 5: to be. Yeah.
- 42:13Speaker 3: All right, we touched on the offensive line, but who
- 42:15Speaker 3: on the offensive line had the best performance on Sunday?
- 42:18Speaker 3: Who on the offensive line has you concerned?
- 42:21Speaker 5: Well, going into this week, my concern was Cleveland and Hainsey.
- 42:26Speaker 5: And coming out of the week, Cleveland played much better.
- 42:29Speaker 5: I mean, I'm going to give him this prop. So,
- 42:31Speaker 5: you know, I was ready to half bench the guy.
- 42:33Speaker 5: He was better.
- 42:34Speaker 6: Who am I most concerned about?
- 42:37Speaker 5: It would probably still be the inconsistency of the rookie.
- 42:41Speaker 5: a little bit, but when he, when he makes those plays, he's,
- 42:46Speaker 5: it's just like he he'll let off a guy. And
- 42:49Speaker 5: then the guy who gets to come down the line
- 42:51Speaker 5: and make a play little thing, you know, block, you know,
- 42:54Speaker 5: this Austin in college, you hold the block a certain
- 42:57Speaker 5: amount of time and it's good enough in the NFL.
- 43:00Speaker 5: You hold the block a certain amount of time and
- 43:02Speaker 5: the guy's coming off and he's making a play down
- 43:03Speaker 5: the line. Yeah.
- 43:04Speaker 4: You know, like I'm not, he's a rookie. And he's
- 43:08Speaker 4: not going to have perfect games, right? And it's almost
- 43:10Speaker 4: a little bit of growing pains here or there. And, like,
- 43:13Speaker 4: once again, I think the physicality that he brings to
- 43:16Speaker 4: the table, sometimes it overlooks sometimes the other mistakes that
- 43:19Speaker 4: he makes.
- 43:19Speaker 1: So I'm not worried about Pregnon.
- 43:22Speaker 4: If I was going to say I was worried about
- 43:23Speaker 4: one person, and once again, I think you do do
- 43:25Speaker 4: good to the Patriots, and I think everyone kind of
- 43:27Speaker 4: comes out unscathed, but I would still probably say it's
- 43:30Speaker 4: Ezra with, like, an honorable mention to maybe Hainsey.
- 43:34Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the two.
- 43:35Speaker 5: Those are the two.
- 43:35Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 43:37Speaker 5: And by the way, I.
- 43:40Speaker 6: Will say this right now.
- 43:41Speaker 5: Pregnant will be a pro ball, all pro left guard
- 43:45Speaker 5: at some point in his career.
- 43:46Speaker 3: I'm predicting that.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Lock it in.
- 43:48Speaker 3: We're running a little short on time, but I have
- 43:54Speaker 3: to get to this. Could Prisco take the ball boy
- 43:58Speaker 3: in a fight? And if you haven't seen the video,
- 44:01Speaker 3: it's glorious. So Travis Hunter had his first career interception
- 44:04Speaker 3: in spun the ball, had to get his dance moves in.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Josh Heinz-Allen went to retrieve the ball, as any good
- 44:10Speaker 3: teammate would, and got in a little scuffle with the Patriots'
- 44:14Speaker 3: ball boy. So, Pete, you think you could take the
- 44:16Speaker 3: ball boy?
- 44:18Speaker 5: I would have ripped that thing right out of his
- 44:19Speaker 5: damn hands. There would have been nothing in his hands anymore.
- 44:24Speaker 5: At one time, this is a true story, when I
- 44:27Speaker 5: was a substitute teacher for my old high school, and
- 44:32Speaker 5: I went back, and nobody, you know, I was... in
- 44:35Speaker 5: the gym and I'm rolled out the balls. I was
- 44:38Speaker 5: PE teacher and playing basketball in the gym and I
- 44:40Speaker 5: was playing with the guys. And then it came time
- 44:43Speaker 5: to blow the whistle. We got to go get classes over.
- 44:46Speaker 5: And I said, all right, let me have the balls.
- 44:48Speaker 5: And the kid goes, no. And he didn't know I
- 44:50Speaker 5: was the teacher. And I go, dude, I'm the teacher,
- 44:55Speaker 5: but I'm going to take the whistle off and pretend
- 44:56Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm taking the ball out of your hand.
- 44:58Speaker 5: And I took the ball. So, yeah, would I have
- 45:00Speaker 5: taken the ball out of the kid's hand?
- 45:01Speaker 1: Absolutely. Here's how I know Pete's about that life and
- 45:04Speaker 1: about that action. Pete, were you at the Panthers practice, right,
- 45:07Speaker 1: the joint practices?
- 45:08Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Is that where you– this year? Was it the Panthers
- 45:11Speaker 1: or Bucs? It was the Panthers.
- 45:13Speaker 4: And there starts to be like a little scrap, a
- 45:15Speaker 4: little pushing and shoving with the Panthers and the Jags.
- 45:18Speaker 1: You know me. Let's go. And I turn to Pete.
- 45:21Speaker 1: I go, Pete, we got to go in there. Let's go.
- 45:23Speaker 1: And like he wasn't trying to go in there.
- 45:25Speaker 3: But he was ready.
- 45:26Speaker 4: But you could tell like in his– you could just
- 45:27Speaker 4: tell some people in their eyes where it's like if
- 45:29Speaker 4: it popped off, he had no problem throwing down with me.
- 45:32Speaker 4: And I'm telling you right now in that moment– He
- 45:34Speaker 4: was ready to pop.
- 45:35Speaker 1: He was ready to get it in.
- 45:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 45:37Speaker 5: But you would have taken the ball from that kid
- 45:39Speaker 5: too yesterday, right?
- 45:40Speaker 1: Yeah, man. I'm surprised Josh didn't rip it out of
- 45:42Speaker 1: his hands.
- 45:44Speaker 3: Well, the optics of it were not going to be
- 45:46Speaker 3: great if Josh actually took the ball from that guy.
- 45:50Speaker 5: The optics were terrible for the kid.
- 45:52Speaker 3: I agree. And George, who's head of equipment here, came in,
- 45:55Speaker 3: broke it up, and I can confirm, done some intrepid journalism.
- 45:58Speaker 3: They got the ball for him, so everything is fine.
- 46:00Speaker 1: That kid was ready to sue, too.
- 46:01Speaker 3: But he was taking it real serious. That kid was
- 46:03Speaker 3: ready to sue.
- 46:05Speaker 1: You can't touch me.
- 46:06Speaker 5: Was he ready to sue?
- 46:07Speaker 1: Did you see what he was saying? Did you hear
- 46:09Speaker 1: the audio of it, Pete?
- 46:10Speaker 5: No, I didn't.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Oh, you got to hear the audio, Pete.
- 46:12Speaker 3: Pete, the audio is the best part.
- 46:14Speaker 4: This is like a drive-through Karen at McDonald's where the
- 46:17Speaker 4: coffee is too hot or something. Like, yeah, he was
- 46:19Speaker 4: ready to sue. No, he didn't say he was going
- 46:21Speaker 4: to sue, but he's like, you can't touch me.
- 46:22Speaker 1: He's touching me. And it's like, dude.
- 46:25Speaker 5: Oh, my God. Relax, man. He should have just ripped
- 46:26Speaker 5: the ball out of his hand and never touched him.
- 46:28Speaker 5: He wouldn't have been able to stop him.
- 46:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 46:29Speaker 5: Get out of here.
- 46:30Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 46:31Speaker 5: Get out of here.
- 46:31Speaker 1: I think it needs to be like the security at
- 46:33Speaker 1: Chuck E. Cheese or something. You can't be like in
- 46:34Speaker 1: an NFL game acting like that.
- 46:36Speaker 3: Stepping up to Josh, too. I don't know.
- 46:39Speaker 5: So he was actually the Patriots ball boy?
- 46:41Speaker 7: Yes.
- 46:42Speaker 3: And so it all got settled. We got everything. We
- 46:46Speaker 3: got everything handled.
- 46:47Speaker 5: He's used to filming stuff in the crowd.
- 46:49Speaker 1: That's what he's used to. I'm going to wicked sue you.
- 46:51Speaker 1: I'm going to wicked sue you.
- 46:52Speaker 3: Got to take some shots there.
- 46:54Speaker 5: Spy game. Spy game. He was in spy game.
- 46:56Speaker 1: There we go. He was in spy game.
- 46:59Speaker 3: Alright, second hour of Jaguars Happy Hour. We're going to
- 47:01Speaker 3: keep it real about the Jaguars pass rush. We'll look
- 47:03Speaker 3: ahead to that matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in week four.
- 47:07Speaker 3: All that coming up on Jaguars Happy Hour here on
- 47:09Speaker 3: the Digital Network.
- 47:16Speaker 8: Yeah, they did an awesome job. I thought we stayed
- 47:18Speaker 8: on track. We didn't have a ton of second and longs.
- 47:21Speaker 8: Not too many third and longs either, so I think
- 47:24Speaker 8: that was a big part of the game. It never
- 47:27Speaker 8: felt like we were living in drop back and just
- 47:29Speaker 8: having to try to throw it every play. We were
- 47:32Speaker 8: able to be really consistent, efficient, running the ball on
- 47:35Speaker 8: first and second down, had some really tough, good runs,
- 47:38Speaker 8: and then some explosive ones as well. So I think
- 47:40Speaker 8: that is kind of the key, right? That's how you
- 47:42Speaker 8: want to play football is to be able to, and
- 47:44Speaker 8: then you can get to all your stuff. It's not
- 47:46Speaker 8: like you're just having to drop back and throw it
- 47:48Speaker 8: every single play to get back on track.
- 47:50Speaker 5: You can stay efficient.
- 47:52Speaker 1: So it was a good example of that today.
- 47:54Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence on the offense had a great day. Thanks
- 47:56Speaker 3: in part to the run game getting going. Welcome back.
- 47:59Speaker 3: This is the second hour of Jaguars Happy Hour presented
- 48:01Speaker 3: by Mr. Chubby's Wings. after the game and during the game.
- 48:04Speaker 3: We're going to do our opening drive presented by Target Zero.
- 48:07Speaker 3: Let's get everyone home safely. Jaguars get a big 35-6
- 48:11Speaker 3: win over the Patriots. They bounce back after that week
- 48:13Speaker 3: two loss to the Broncos. We talked about spreading the wealth,
- 48:17Speaker 3: and they certainly did that, finding different receivers. Both running
- 48:20Speaker 3: backs were involved. Five for five in the red zone,
- 48:24Speaker 3: eight for 12 on third down. When they're rolling, they
- 48:28Speaker 3: make everything look really easy.
- 48:32Speaker 6: Again, I think Austin touched on it.
- 48:34Speaker 5: When you run the ball the way you ran the ball,
- 48:36Speaker 5: you're going to make it easy. And Trevor seems to
- 48:40Speaker 5: have much more of a command of the offense when
- 48:43Speaker 5: he's not just dropping back and playing fast and loose.
- 48:47Speaker 5: And don't get me wrong, I think he can do that,
- 48:49Speaker 5: but he seems much more comfortable. And you go back
- 48:51Speaker 5: to that touchdown he threw to Myers in the back
- 48:55Speaker 5: of the end zone. Mm-hmm. Looked right, looked the middle,
- 48:59Speaker 5: came back, boom. And he knew he was going with it.
- 49:01Speaker 5: He just fired a shot in there. That was almost
- 49:03Speaker 5: like the throw on the opposite side that he threw
- 49:05Speaker 5: the camera in week one where he threw a bunch
- 49:09Speaker 5: of hands and arms and stuff because that was a
- 49:11Speaker 5: really good throw. And he just looks more comfortable. Don't
- 49:14Speaker 5: you agree when to run the.
- 49:15Speaker 4: Ball without a doubt and listen the Patriots played a
- 49:18Speaker 4: lot of zone coverage you know in the red zone
- 49:20Speaker 4: and everything and I think they're the top red zone
- 49:22Speaker 4: defense going into that game against the Jags but you
- 49:26Speaker 4: saw what Trevor Lawrence could do right if you buy
- 49:28Speaker 4: him enough time he's got no problem being comfortable looking
- 49:30Speaker 4: down one way and then I was coming back to
- 49:32Speaker 4: Josh Cameron in that one play as well did the
- 49:34Speaker 4: exact same thing so you know I think the the
- 49:37Speaker 4: sign of a quarterback in zone coverage is do you
- 49:40Speaker 4: have time to diagnose but also do you have the
- 49:42Speaker 4: wherewithal to look somebody off in zone coverage and go
- 49:45Speaker 4: the other way and Trevor Lawrence showcased that skill set
- 49:48Speaker 4: to a tee yesterday.
- 49:50Speaker 5: What's their red zone numbers? Their red zone numbers got
- 49:52Speaker 5: to be among the best.
- 49:53Speaker 3: Well, they were five and five yesterday. I'll look up
- 49:56Speaker 3: the league stats. But what I talked to John Ogier
- 49:59Speaker 3: about this earlier today and in training camp, they went
- 50:04Speaker 3: to New Orleans and look great. You know, they really
- 50:06Speaker 3: bounced back with the joint practices with the Panthers and
- 50:08Speaker 3: the Bucs. But over that entire time, and even on
- 50:11Speaker 3: the days when they didn't look great, they always looked
- 50:13Speaker 3: good in red zone. And so far, they've translated that
- 50:16Speaker 3: into the regular season, and Trevor looks so comfortable.
- 50:20Speaker 1: Well, and even in New Orleans, right?
- 50:21Speaker 4: Like, they didn't look good at all, but that last
- 50:23Speaker 4: red zone period, they finished strong, and everyone was talking about, yeah,
- 50:25Speaker 4: that red zone period.
- 50:26Speaker 5: So.
- 50:27Speaker 4: Yeah, in terms of identity and everything, that's starting to
- 50:29Speaker 4: be a thing, which is crazy because it seems like
- 50:31Speaker 4: a couple years ago we were talking about how they
- 50:33Speaker 4: could never score a touchdown in the red zone, right?
- 50:35Speaker 1: And they couldn't get anything done.
- 50:36Speaker 6: If only their kicker could make his kicks.
- 50:40Speaker 3: Pete, what's going on?
- 50:40Speaker 7: 70 yards, huh?
- 50:41Speaker 3: Is he panicking?
- 50:42Speaker 1: Is he mental? 70 yards. Yeah.
- 50:44Speaker 5: Yeah. Here, that's two weeks in a row he's had misses.
- 50:50Speaker 1: Pete, is it an issue? I mean, I'm going to
- 50:52Speaker 1: give him the benefit of the doubt on a 70-yarder. No,
- 50:55Speaker 1: I'm kidding.
- 50:55Speaker 5: Okay, I got you.
- 50:56Speaker 1: I don't know with you sometimes, man. I don't know.
- 50:58Speaker 5: I mean, that thing was long enough.
- 51:00Speaker 3: It was, and it looked real good. He had the strength, yeah.
- 51:02Speaker 3: It was like right at the last second it went
- 51:04Speaker 3: kind of like this. Because even we have Coach mic'd up,
- 51:06Speaker 3: and he thought it was good, and then they were like, oh, no,
- 51:08Speaker 3: at the last second. So it was almost there.
- 51:10Speaker 5: You know what's funny? We were talking about that when
- 51:12Speaker 5: he kicked that. You got to be careful on those–
- 51:16Speaker 5: because like Rand Carthon, who works with me, used to
- 51:19Speaker 5: work with the Rams when Greg Zerline was there. Remember
- 51:23Speaker 5: Greg the leg?
- 51:24Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course.
- 51:25Speaker 5: And they used to have Greg try all those like 60,
- 51:28Speaker 5: which was 60 yarders back then, which was long back then.
- 51:31Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 51:32Speaker 6: And then he started missing the ones in between, you.
- 51:37Speaker 5: Know, those shorter ones.
- 51:38Speaker 6: Cause he was focused on the long ones.
- 51:40Speaker 5: So you gotta be careful with that sometimes.
- 51:42Speaker 3: I think it's, And, I mean, we always talk about
- 51:46Speaker 3: how he can kick it from so far, but it's
- 51:47Speaker 3: just he's still young, getting that mental, like, in the
- 51:50Speaker 3: big moments, right? Because the Bills game or, like, you know,
- 51:52Speaker 3: in the Broncos game when it's an important moment. So
- 51:54Speaker 3: it's kind of like getting him to mentally stay strong
- 51:57Speaker 3: in those. Because kickers can be strange, you know?
- 52:00Speaker 1: Oh, no, they are.
- 52:03Speaker 5: Not can be. They are.
- 52:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:04Speaker 4: No, there's some weird ducks every once in a while.
- 52:07Speaker 1: I mean, shout out to Josh Scobie, man. Josh Scobie,
- 52:08Speaker 1: one of my best friends on the team, though.
- 52:10Speaker 5: Oh, I love Josh Scobie.
- 52:11Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, he was.
- 52:12Speaker 4: I don't know how the dude doesn't have his own show, man,
- 52:13Speaker 4: because the guy is funny as all get out. But
- 52:15Speaker 4: it's wild how far we've come in terms of distance, right? Because, like,
- 52:19Speaker 4: I was watching the game with my son. You know,
- 52:21Speaker 4: my son was like, I can't believe you missed it.
- 52:23Speaker 4: I'm like, it's a 70-yard field goal. Like, when I
- 52:26Speaker 4: was your age, I was in awe of 55, you know,
- 52:29Speaker 4: let alone 60.
- 52:30Speaker 1: I remember, was it Jason Elam or whatever? Or who
- 52:32Speaker 1: was the guy in Denver?
- 52:34Speaker 3: Yeah, Elam.
- 52:35Speaker 4: Yeah, Elam. Yeah, I remember exactly where I was for
- 52:37Speaker 4: that moment when he kicked.
- 52:38Speaker 1: I'm like.
- 52:39Speaker 4: That's unreal. And now that's like a chip shot these
- 52:41Speaker 4: days for some of these guys.
- 52:42Speaker 1: So it's crazy.
- 52:43Speaker 5: How old were you then? Like a kid?
- 52:45Speaker 1: Oh, I was a kid for sure, man. I was
- 52:47Speaker 1: probably like 10 or 11.
- 52:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:50Speaker 5: I covered that game.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Me and Osher. Wait, John Osher was in Denver at
- 52:56Speaker 1: the time? Or was he in Jackson?
- 52:58Speaker 5: No, he worked with me.
- 52:59Speaker 1: I didn't know John Osher was in Jackson before.
- 53:03Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
- 53:03Speaker 1: Okay, I got you.
- 53:04Speaker 3: He came up in the game.
- 53:05Speaker 5: When we started, John Osher, I was the beat guy,
- 53:07Speaker 5: and John Osher was my backup.
- 53:09Speaker 1: I got you. Okay.
- 53:10Speaker 6: He was the good cop, and I was the bad cop.
- 53:13Speaker 1: Gotcha.
- 53:14Speaker 3: Now you're both bad cops.
- 53:17Speaker 5: He never admitted he was a bad cop, but he
- 53:18Speaker 5: was a bad cop, too.
- 53:21Speaker 3: He's that cop when you watch the interrogation where he's like,
- 53:23Speaker 3: I'm on your side. Pretend to be their friend, but
- 53:25Speaker 3: you're really just trying to get them. That's one of those.
- 53:27Speaker 5: You know, back in the day, he had a little
- 53:29Speaker 5: ponytail in the back.
- 53:31Speaker 3: I've heard rumor of this.
- 53:33Speaker 6: He did, and it used to drive Tom Coughlin crazy.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Oh, I need to see some evidence.
- 53:39Speaker 3: Ozone with a ponytail?
- 53:40Speaker 5: I need to see some evidence.
- 53:42Speaker 6: It was a big ponytail, so we called it the
- 53:44Speaker 6: puny tail.
- 53:46Speaker 5: It was kind of small. True story. So Coughlin, it
- 53:52Speaker 5: was everything and anything that Coughlin had disdain for was
- 53:57Speaker 5: that ponytail.
- 53:58Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 53:58Speaker 5: He used to look at it and make Coughlin face,
- 54:00Speaker 5: you know, the Coughlin face. He'd just like cringe at it.
- 54:03Speaker 5: He hated John. Ask John. He'll tell you. He hated
- 54:06Speaker 5: his ponytail.
- 54:07Speaker 3: What were the craziest Coughlin rules? Because I hear all
- 54:09Speaker 3: kinds of stuff all the time. Like you couldn't wear
- 54:11Speaker 3: sunglasses at practice and like all kinds of weird stuff.
- 54:15Speaker 3: As a media member, he can wear sunglasses.
- 54:17Speaker 5: Jeff Loggeman might have had one of the best responses
- 54:21Speaker 5: to a Coughlin rule in history. You had to wear
- 54:24Speaker 5: a tie on the road. And Loggeman wore a bolo
- 54:29Speaker 5: tie one time.
- 54:31Speaker 8: Nice.
- 54:32Speaker 5: And so Coughlin goes, sees it and goes, he made
- 54:36Speaker 5: his face, what is that?
- 54:37Speaker 6: It's a tie.
- 54:39Speaker 5: Because he gave him a rule book and it was
- 54:41Speaker 5: in the rule book. He said he had to wear
- 54:42Speaker 5: a tie. And he told him, it's a bolo tie.
- 54:46Speaker 5: It's a tie. Well, the next year in that book.
- 54:50Speaker 3: An exception.
- 54:51Speaker 6: It said cloth tie.
- 54:54Speaker 8: Ah.
- 54:55Speaker 5: So Jeff Loggin changed the rules.
- 54:58Speaker 1: Changing the rules.
- 55:01Speaker 5: I mean, the rules were crazy. They were crazy. You
- 55:04Speaker 5: couldn't wear, God forbid, if you got cut from a team.
- 55:08Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 55:09Speaker 5: And all you had was like you had to work out.
- 55:12Speaker 5: You had your old team's issue. Oh, my God.
- 55:16Speaker 3: That would be bad.
- 55:17Speaker 5: That was a no-no.
- 55:18Speaker 1: Kyle, you've been on the plane and everything. Are guys
- 55:20Speaker 1: still wearing suits or is it a little more casual?
- 55:22Speaker 3: No, we don't do that anymore.
- 55:23Speaker 1: It must be nice. I had to wear my suit.
- 55:24Speaker 1: I remember with Jack Del Rio. I only had one.
- 55:26Speaker 5: Jack used to make you wear suits?
- 55:29Speaker 1: For the way games, we had to wear suits. Yeah.
- 55:31Speaker 4: I mean, Pete, you know me by now. I don't
- 55:34Speaker 4: wear suits, man. Weddings and funerals, and that's about it, right?
- 55:37Speaker 1: Me too.
- 55:37Speaker 4: So I went to Joss A. Bank, which turns out
- 55:39Speaker 4: to be Joseph A. Bank, but I thought it was
- 55:41Speaker 4: called Joss A.
- 55:42Speaker 5: Bank.
- 55:42Speaker 1: Went to Joss A. Bank, got me one suit. That
- 55:44Speaker 1: was the suit. And I got me two, like, shirts
- 55:46Speaker 1: underneath it, and that's all I had for the whole season.
- 55:49Speaker 4: I had a home white, and I had an away
- 55:51Speaker 4: pink that I wore underneath my little collar.
- 55:54Speaker 5: Home and away, okay.
- 55:54Speaker 1: It was about a get-one-free guy, obviously.
- 55:56Speaker 5: Obviously.
- 55:57Speaker 1: Got to.
- 55:57Speaker 5: But yeah, it's like, I never understood making people travel
- 56:03Speaker 5: in In a suit that is so uncomfortable when you
- 56:06Speaker 5: should let them travel.
- 56:07Speaker 1: It's a business trip, Pete. It's a business trip.
- 56:10Speaker 3: Pete, they do not travel in like a cramped like economy.
- 56:16Speaker 3: They're in lie down seats. You can lie down in
- 56:18Speaker 3: a suit.
- 56:19Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't.
- 56:20Speaker 6: I think that's dumb.
- 56:21Speaker 5: I don't mind.
- 56:22Speaker 6: Travel in what you feel comfortable in.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Be you.
- 56:26Speaker 3: Yeah. Right. Yeah.
- 56:28Speaker 6: That's what Liam Cohen thinks as well.
- 56:30Speaker 3: So they do. They're comfortable.
- 56:31Speaker 5: I mean, it's just like us on TV now.
- 56:33Speaker 6: Like certain days of the week, we have to wear jackets.
- 56:36Speaker 6: And some days it's casual. It's casual day.
- 56:39Speaker 5: I'm like, well, why aren't we wearing jackets?
- 56:41Speaker 6: Oh, it's casual day.
- 56:42Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
- 56:43Speaker 7: Fine.
- 56:44Speaker 5: Whatever you want to do.
- 56:45Speaker 1: I mean, Pete, he wants to wear a tank top.
- 56:46Speaker 4: Pete, you got to wear like a tank top one day, man.
- 56:48Speaker 3: He's a beach guy.
- 56:49Speaker 1: Come on, man. This is Paramount, man. You're Mr.
- 56:51Speaker 5: Paramount.
- 56:52Speaker 1: Let's see what that tank top.
- 56:53Speaker 5: If I had my way, I'd never have anything on
- 56:55Speaker 5: other than flip flops.
- 56:56Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 56:57Speaker 3: Flip flop guy. Uh, let's look a little bit ahead
- 57:01Speaker 3: to week four. We'll get probably more in depth, but Pete,
- 57:05Speaker 3: you watch all the games. What did, what did the
- 57:07Speaker 3: Bengals look like? What have they looked like so far
- 57:08Speaker 3: the first couple of weeks?
- 57:10Speaker 5: Well, the first two weeks they were really good on defense,
- 57:13Speaker 5: really good on defense. And then last week they kind of,
- 57:17Speaker 5: went to Pittsburgh this past Sunday, and they weren't as
- 57:19Speaker 5: good on defense. You know, they were talking about all
- 57:21Speaker 5: the same old Bengals. And Rodgers actually carved them up
- 57:24Speaker 5: a little bit. Rodgers looked good.
- 57:26Speaker 1: He also ran.
- 57:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 57:28Speaker 1: Dual threat Aaron.
- 57:30Speaker 5: And Warren ran the ball well, too, for them. Here's
- 57:34Speaker 5: the concern I have with Jacksonville playing the Bengals. Dexter
- 57:39Speaker 5: Lawrence on Hainsey. I mean, Dexter Lawrence is a monster
- 57:44Speaker 5: in the middle of that defense. They're going to have
- 57:46Speaker 5: to do something to take him out of there. And
- 57:49Speaker 5: Jonathan Allen's been playing good next to him. So they
- 57:51Speaker 5: have two good big body guys. The defense is much improved.
- 57:55Speaker 5: At least it was until Sunday. And we know.
- 57:57Speaker 6: What they are on offense, right? They're going to score.
- 58:01Speaker 5: Higgins made a play on Sunday where he caught it
- 58:04Speaker 5: on his back. You know, Chase is a problem. And,
- 58:08Speaker 5: you know, Their offensive line's okay. It's not great. So
- 58:11Speaker 5: you might be able to get after Burrow a little bit.
- 58:14Speaker 5: And they're not a great running team, although I think
- 58:17Speaker 5: Chase Brown's a decent back. But I think the biggest
- 58:20Speaker 5: difference in the Bengals you saw a year ago when
- 58:22Speaker 5: you went there is how improved they are on defense.
- 58:24Speaker 6: They've had a lot of new people back there.
- 58:26Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be a big test for the Jaguars' defense.
- 58:29Speaker 4: I mean, I've seen two of the best catches this
- 58:30Speaker 4: year happen in back-to-back weeks with the Bengals.
- 58:32Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, I think it was against Indy. I forgot
- 58:34Speaker 1: where they played.
- 58:35Speaker 6: No, that was against the Texans.
- 58:37Speaker 1: Oh, Texans, thank you.
- 58:37Speaker 4: Yeah, Chase had that one, and then they had the
- 58:39Speaker 4: Tee Higgins one. And here's the thing about Chase Brown.
- 58:42Speaker 4: They don't necessarily scare you in terms of physicality of
- 58:45Speaker 4: establishing a run. But he does scare you in the
- 58:47Speaker 4: pass game, right? So whether that's going to be Ventrell Miller,
- 58:51Speaker 4: Branson Combs, you're going to have to be on your
- 58:53Speaker 4: target here because if he gets the ball in space,
- 58:55Speaker 4: he can make you pay, right? And I think, I mean, listen,
- 58:58Speaker 4: the linebackers have been playing pretty well so far, I think,
- 59:01Speaker 4: for the Jaguars and everything. But you do get a
- 59:03Speaker 4: little nervous watching Chase Brown in terms of his past
- 59:05Speaker 4: catching abilities as well in.
- 59:07Speaker 5: Offense but this is gonna be one of those games
- 59:09Speaker 5: look the right tackle mims has been really good for
- 59:11Speaker 5: the bangles big powerful kid he's That's going to be
- 59:14Speaker 5: a good matchup when you see two power players like
- 59:18Speaker 5: Walker and Mims going at each other. I mean, that's
- 59:21Speaker 5: going to be fun to watch. And then, you know,
- 59:23Speaker 5: it's time for those pass rushers to get after a
- 59:26Speaker 5: good passing quarterback. Josh Hines-Allen, who was pretty good on Sunday,
- 59:30Speaker 5: by the way. I'm not going to take it. I
- 59:31Speaker 5: thought he did a nice job.
- 59:32Speaker 6: He set the edge. He did some really good things.
- 59:35Speaker 6: Chased down.
- 59:36Speaker 5: uh drake may on one play but they got to
- 59:39Speaker 5: get into the backfield knock them over you know they
- 59:41Speaker 5: got to knock them down they got to knock joe
- 59:43Speaker 5: burrow down in the backfield yeah.
- 59:45Speaker 4: Because here's the thing i and i once again it's
- 59:47Speaker 4: like some of the next gen stats so drake may
- 59:49Speaker 4: had the most time uh the second most time in
- 59:52Speaker 4: his career in terms of his pocket presence to throw
- 59:55Speaker 4: um yesterday which is okay but if.
- 59:58Speaker 5: That's they said he had 14 did i always have
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: 14 pressures i didn't see that.
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: I mean, he felt pressured. I'm sure he, on the inside,
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: felt the pressure in that game. I don't know.
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: Felt the weight of the world.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: Bearing down on him.
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: That's what they're talking about.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though. You can't give that time
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: to Joe Burrow and those receivers, right?
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: Because Mac Hollins and Romeo Dobbs, all due respect to them,
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: but it's not T. Higgins and it's not Jamar Chase.
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: If those guys get time to get open, whether you're
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: man or zone, they're going to beat you. So you
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: have to get to the quarterback for this game.
- 1:00:30Speaker 5: I'll be curious to see how they play that next
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: week with the secondary.
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:00:34Speaker 5: Look, Travis is not a big corner, so I don't
- 1:00:39Speaker 5: know if he can... Hollins is a pretty big receiver,
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: and he was on him in man-to-man situations. But he
- 1:00:46Speaker 5: doesn't run like Higgins is in a burner, but he's
- 1:00:49Speaker 5: faster than Matt Collins.
- 1:00:50Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: The others, I don't know if you can man up Chase.
- 1:00:54Speaker 5: I think he kills you whoever you are. Yeah. He
- 1:00:57Speaker 5: kills the best receivers. He killed Sting, best corner. He
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: killed Stingley. Yeah. So you might double Chase and put
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: Jarrion Jones on Higgins.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: Yeah, he's more physical too. All right, it's time to
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: check in with Copilot quickly. So a bit of a milestone.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: What head coach was the fastest to get 15 wins
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: in Jaguars franchise history? And Copilot had the answer for me.
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: It's Liam Cohen. He was the fastest to get there.
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: He did it in just 20 games, which is kind
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: of crazy to look back on. I think he's done
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: that so quickly. Last coach to do it, Matt LaFleur
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: in Green Bay in 2019 and 2020. Looks like they
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: made the right coaching hire. I think that's safe to say, Pete,
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: wouldn't you?
- 1:01:40Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think the people in Tampa are really
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: lamenting it right now, by the way.
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: I knew how mad they got when that whole situation,
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: that he was going to be good. Because you don't
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: get that mad if it's some bum that's leaving. Like,
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: they were furious.
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: They were mad. I know. I talked to a bunch
- 1:01:56Speaker 5: of people in that organization when it was going on.
- 1:01:58Speaker 5: They were mad.
- 1:02:00Speaker 6: And, look, I can watch Liam Cohn draw plays all day.
- 1:02:04Speaker 5: Because every week, it's Sean McVay.
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: That's what it is.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: If you want to.
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: I mean, the creativity is fantastic and the sequencing.
- 1:02:13Speaker 6: And looking ahead.
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: Like I said, I can see his madman head going
- 1:02:19Speaker 5: nuts right now trying to figure out when he's going
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: to get that play involved where he leaks out right
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: through the middle of the line when he makes him
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: look like he's the blocking back and sends Strange straight
- 1:02:31Speaker 5: down the field for a 50-yard gain.
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: And listen, I don't want to look too far ahead, right,
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: because I'm having fun being the president right now. But
- 1:02:37Speaker 4: this is the beauty of having a play caller who's
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: also the head coach, is that you're always going to
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: help your quarterback out with that, right? There's some coaches
- 1:02:44Speaker 4: in the league that defer to their offensive coordinators to
- 1:02:47Speaker 4: call the plays.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: They do well. They get the best out of their quarterback.
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: What happens? They go all their places, right? They have
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: to bring in a whole new system, a whole new scheme.
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: Learn the X's and O's. Once again, it takes two
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: or three years. Maybe they do good, and then they're gone, right?
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: Not here in Jacksonville. You have a guy now that's
- 1:03:01Speaker 4: going to be here for a while, that's calling the plays,
- 1:03:03Speaker 4: that gets the best out of his quarterback.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: That's the ideal situation that you want for your franchise.
- 1:03:08Speaker 5: And by the way, not to discount Grant Udinski either,
- 1:03:10Speaker 5: because from everything I've heard, and I've talked to Grant,
- 1:03:13Speaker 5: but other people in the organization, his ability to see
- 1:03:16Speaker 5: things when the game plan is getting put into place
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: and make Trevor see them is said to be unreal.
- 1:03:25Speaker 5: His ability to see it. translate it give it to
- 1:03:28Speaker 5: trevor and then allow liam to call it with trevor
- 1:03:31Speaker 5: taking what grant had given him they say that is
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: the the process is unreal that's why it works it's a.
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: Crazy game of telephone it's important you got to be
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: able to teach it if you know all the answers
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: but you can't teach it doesn't work.
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: And by the way they keep winning games grant and
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: campanile are gone Of course.
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I expect that very much so. That's why we're
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: enjoying the time while they're here now. A lot more
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: to come up. We're going to keep it real. We're
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: going to talk about the pass rush, what they need
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: to do going forward with that. Jaguars happy hour presented
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: by Mr. Chubby's Wing.
- 1:04:01Speaker 7: We started with the plan. I think we really tightened
- 1:04:08Speaker 7: our third down menu going into the week. Typically, you know,
- 1:04:13Speaker 7: you carry... Roughly about four to five passes in each
- 1:04:16Speaker 7: window and like two runs per window. We actually trimmed
- 1:04:19Speaker 7: down some of the inventory, looked at what plays within
- 1:04:22Speaker 7: the normal D & D game plan could also slide
- 1:04:25Speaker 7: into some of those third down windows.
- 1:04:27Speaker 5: So we really.
- 1:04:28Speaker 7: Focused on what we do best. What do we execute best?
- 1:04:31Speaker 7: What are our guys go out and play fast doing best?
- 1:04:34Speaker 7: And I thought Trevor did some really good things of
- 1:04:37Speaker 7: either throwing off schedule, making a play with a guy
- 1:04:39Speaker 7: in his face. We made some contested catches as well
- 1:04:42Speaker 7: in some critical moments today. So very proud of the
- 1:04:45Speaker 7: situational awareness.
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: Ian Cohen talking about some of their success, you know,
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: trying to get the ball out quickly, what they were
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: able to do to negate some of the Patriots' defense
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: and their pass rush. But we are going to talk
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: about our pass rush here on Jaguars Happy Hour, presented
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: by Mr. Chubby's Wings. And we're going to keep it real.
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: Presented by ServPro, like it never even happened before. Let's
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: talk about the pass rush problem, Pete, because they didn't
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: do a ton in week two. It was kind of
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: nothing from them whatsoever. Was it as bad as it
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: looked in week three when you rewatched?
- 1:05:20Speaker 5: And I think Austin touched on it. It looked like
- 1:05:22Speaker 5: they were trying to keep him in the pocket. So
- 1:05:24Speaker 5: it wasn't full on get up the field and attack
- 1:05:28Speaker 5: like you would some other quarterbacks.
- 1:05:30Speaker 6: And so I think it was a little different approach.
- 1:05:32Speaker 5: But again, the numbers aren't great, rushing the passer. the
- 1:05:38Speaker 5: money that's in their pockets is pretty great for the
- 1:05:41Speaker 5: rushing the passer. They got to be better at it.
- 1:05:44Speaker 5: And if you're not, you're going to ultimately pay. It
- 1:05:46Speaker 5: starts this week. Like, like Austin said, if they don't
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: rush Joe Burrow, which they did last year, by the way,
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: until he went out, they knocked him out of that game.
- 1:05:54Speaker 8: Remember?
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: They did. That was a Mr.
- 1:05:57Speaker 5: They're going to pay for it.
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: They're going to pay for it. If you don't rush
- 1:06:00Speaker 6: the passer.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and I mean, there has to be
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: a little bit of worry.
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: And I get maybe the game plan dictated that you
- 1:06:07Speaker 4: keep Drake May in the pocket. That's fine. But you've
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: seen them blitz now. You've seen them rush four. You've
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: seen them rush five. You've seen them run stunts, seen
- 1:06:14Speaker 4: them run games. And it seems like they're kind of
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: having problems getting home these past couple games. And I mean,
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: I don't know, man, because if you look at their edges, right,
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: Josh Hines-Allen, Trayvon Walker, BJ Green, we put Brian Thomas Jr.
- 1:06:26Speaker 4: up there as well. You know, they're all, to me,
- 1:06:29Speaker 4: they're all physical rushers. They're all speed to power. You
- 1:06:32Speaker 4: don't necessarily have like that speed guy. Now you have Gardeck,
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: who is used in packages and things like that, who
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: can provide you a little speed. But to me, it's
- 1:06:40Speaker 4: almost like they have a lot of the same type
- 1:06:42Speaker 4: of rusher, Pete. And I wonder, like, I wonder if
- 1:06:46Speaker 4: going forward that's going to be an issue. I don't
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: think it's going to be because the resume of Josh
- 1:06:50Speaker 4: Hines-Allen says 17.5 one season. Trayvon Walker's had double digits for, what,
- 1:06:54Speaker 4: two years now? I think they can get the job done,
- 1:06:56Speaker 4: but I wonder if they need a little more speed
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: or just a little something different, man, because right now
- 1:07:02Speaker 4: you're not seeing the best.
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: Which goes back to when we were talking about making
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: a trade, and we were talking about trading for a
- 1:07:12Speaker 5: down interior pass rusher. Mm-hmm. Well, what if he traded
- 1:07:16Speaker 5: for an end and move Walker inside on passing downs?
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: Possibility.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: I mean, they have a twitchy.
- 1:07:24Speaker 6: End because they don't have a twitchy end.
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: That's, that's what they lack.
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:07:29Speaker 5: Josh finds Allen and Trayvon Walker are really, really good
- 1:07:32Speaker 5: football players and they're good pass rushers, but neither.
- 1:07:35Speaker 6: One of them would be considered twitchy.
- 1:07:38Speaker 5: Like, and like a Von Miller is prime twitcher, you know,
- 1:07:42Speaker 5: Aiden Hutchinson twitchy or a, You know, that kind of
- 1:07:45Speaker 5: Miles Garrett or Khalil Mack in his prime, Bon Miller.
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: Those kind of guys.
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: So where do you go looking for a twitchy pass rusher? Well,
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: you thought at some point that twitchy pass rusher might
- 1:07:59Speaker 5: be with the Raiders.
- 1:08:04Speaker 6: But the Raiders are now three and oh.
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: And so a team that's 3-0, if they somehow kept winning,
- 1:08:11Speaker 5: which I don't think they will, by the way, but
- 1:08:14Speaker 5: if they did, they're not trading away twitchy pass rusher, right?
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: No way. Yeah.
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: Pete, since we're keeping it real right now, if Mendoza's
- 1:08:21Speaker 4: a starting quarterback like you wanted, are the Raiders 3-0?
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: Don't know.
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: Probably not. All right.
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: But Pete says they're going to be bad from now on,
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: so it doesn't matter.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: That's a good point.
- 1:08:32Speaker 5: Here's their next four games, by the way.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: They had their fun in the sun.
- 1:08:34Speaker 6: You want me to read them to you?
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: Sure.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: They play.
- 1:08:37Speaker 5: They play home against Kansas City, at New England, home
- 1:08:41Speaker 5: against Seattle, I think, and then home against the Rams. Ooh.
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:08:52Speaker 5: Well, I guess we'll see.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: You're about to find out.
- 1:08:53Speaker 5: So if they're three and four, you know.
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: Pete, if they're five and two, they might be trading
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: Mendoza away. Who knows?
- 1:09:00Speaker 5: No. I'm kidding. I'm joking.
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: I'm joking.
- 1:09:04Speaker 5: I know, but I tell you what, the Raiders are
- 1:09:06Speaker 5: doing things the right way. They got a lot of
- 1:09:07Speaker 5: good young players on that team, which is why trading
- 1:09:10Speaker 5: Crosby and getting even more assets might make sense for them.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: But you know what, Pete? And I can't say enough
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: about the Kubiak offense, man. It's the power of the
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: play action, right? It's meat and potatoes play action. It
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: gets the job done.
- 1:09:21Speaker 5: And by the way, what are they missing?
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: The Raiders?
- 1:09:25Speaker 6: A receiver that can go down the field.
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: Well, they've done deals with them before.
- 1:09:29Speaker 5: You trade Brian Thomas, maybe a draft pick, a third
- 1:09:38Speaker 5: or fourth rounder, and you go get Crosby or a
- 1:09:40Speaker 5: second round to go get Crosby.
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: Pete's got his GM hat on.
- 1:09:44Speaker 5: Well, they need something. You're not wrong, Austin. They're all
- 1:09:47Speaker 5: the same. There's no twitchy there. Where's the twitchy?
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: Can you fix it with this roster, or you have
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: to make a trade?
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, the time they guard that guy,
- 1:09:56Speaker 4: now is he going to give you 30 great or
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: 20 great rushes a game?
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: Probably not, right? Like I think in some packages.
- 1:10:02Speaker 5: Brian Thomas looked pretty twitchy on that late rush he
- 1:10:05Speaker 5: had to get a half a sack. I mean, but
- 1:10:07Speaker 5: you can't count on that. I mean, it's a rookie.
- 1:10:11Speaker 5: You can't count on that.
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: I mean, and you have Wesley Williams eventually maybe because
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: we haven't seen him yet.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: But he's not really a twitchy guy either.
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: No.
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: That's not what he was. You know, so they got
- 1:10:22Speaker 5: to try and look around to see if they can
- 1:10:25Speaker 5: address that. The current state of the pass rush on
- 1:10:29Speaker 5: third down.
- 1:10:30Speaker 6: Has to be manufactured.
- 1:10:32Speaker 5: Yep. Unless you had another edge, quick, fast, twitchy edge
- 1:10:37Speaker 5: rusher where you could slide Trayvon inside and let him
- 1:10:39Speaker 5: rush inside.
- 1:10:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I think right now, to echo your point, I
- 1:10:42Speaker 4: think you have to rely on the Blitz a little
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: more to get home, which, you know, once again, if
- 1:10:47Speaker 4: it's a team like the Bengals and you're sending a
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: couple extra, you don't feel good about, you know, Blitzing
- 1:10:54Speaker 4: and leaving man coverage with, you know, T.
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: Higgins and Jamar Chase all the time.
- 1:10:58Speaker 5: Or Jamar Chase and Monteric Brown. Yeah. And you're not
- 1:11:02Speaker 5: going to do that.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: That would be not good. I don't think anyone wants
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: to see that.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: I think we're all good.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: I'm going to vote and say no one wants to
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: see that.
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: Well, the good news is Winger's not on the back
- 1:11:10Speaker 5: end anymore, so that's a good thing.
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: I text JP every once in a while when I
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: see a Winger play.
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: Did you say you missed the tackle last week?
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: You get run over on the touchdown, yes. But he
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: was quick to respond and say that Dewey had a
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: goal line stand there. on the fourth down as well.
- 1:11:29Speaker 5: Look at J.P.
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: Backing up his deer. Oh, yeah. Hands on the table.
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: Ready to go, J.P.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: Ball in the desert. Got to. Stay with us on
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: Jaguars Happy Hour after we will talk more about the
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals, see if Travis Hunter's going to try a
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: Travis Hunter revenge game, perhaps, as they head up to Cincy.
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: Much more coming up.
- 1:11:49Speaker 5: We need to get closer to the receiver to get interference.
- 1:11:52Speaker 5: We shall see.
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Mr. Chubby's Wings.
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: From the two-yard line. Third down and goal for the Patriots.
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: Under center. Rolling right is May.
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: Looking, looking, looking.
- 1:12:08Speaker 5: Fires to the back of the end.
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: The ball's going to be picked off.
- 1:12:11Speaker 5: It's going to be picked off.
- 1:12:12Speaker 10: How about that? How about Travis Hunter?
- 1:12:15Speaker 5: He picked it off in the back of the end zone.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: And they have turned the Patriots away.
- 1:12:20Speaker 10: How about that for the second-year player?
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: It's Frank Frangie with the call of the game presented
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: by Coil Fence. It's 1927. We've been around the block
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: and fenced it too. Finally got that monkey off his back,
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: got the first interception of his career, and he's going
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: back to Cincinnati where he didn't get that pass interference call.
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: And then all, that's where it set it all off.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: So it's a revenge game of sorts.
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: Real quick too, shout out to Foya Lucan on that play,
- 1:12:45Speaker 4: who his read recognition is, like shot out of a cannon.
- 1:12:48Speaker 4: I don't know if he really deflected. He didn't deflect
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: the football or anything, but he did put some pressure
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: on Drake May, I think, to kind of help him
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: throw that ball to Travis Hunter.
- 1:12:58Speaker 6: He looked fast on that play.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: That was crazy, wasn't it, Pete?
- 1:13:01Speaker 5: He didn't look as old as he is on that play.
- 1:13:02Speaker 5: He came out of nowhere. That was as fast as
- 1:13:04Speaker 5: he's looked in a long time. That was a great play.
- 1:13:07Speaker 5: He didn't have anybody open. There was nobody open on
- 1:13:09Speaker 5: that play.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: Nobody.
- 1:13:10Speaker 5: I don't know why he didn't throw it into the crowd.
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: That was just a thrown prayer because there was no
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: way he thought anyone was open either. Yeah.
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: I mean, look, Travis Hunter made a great play. I mean,
- 1:13:20Speaker 5: it was a good man coverage play. That's what he did.
- 1:13:22Speaker 5: He covered the guy and he did a nice job
- 1:13:24Speaker 5: with it. And again, revenge game for that call. I mean,
- 1:13:31Speaker 5: think about where it was a year ago, though, in
- 1:13:35Speaker 5: that game. That was what, week two?
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: It was week two. He was never going to get
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: that call, even if he made the perfect, which you
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: could argue he made a great play.
- 1:13:42Speaker 5: He was never going to get that. It was an interference.
- 1:13:44Speaker 5: But it's funny how to think how things would switch
- 1:13:47Speaker 5: had he gotten that call. You know what I mean?
- 1:13:50Speaker 6: If it went Jacksonville's way, they would have had a
- 1:13:52Speaker 6: home field advantage in the playoffs.
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: They'd still be showing that video.
- 1:13:55Speaker 8: Right?
- 1:13:56Speaker 5: They would have had a home.
- 1:13:57Speaker 6: Field advantage in the playoffs.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: Yeah. We still had it against the Bills, but you know.
- 1:14:02Speaker 5: But I'm talking about they would have had the number
- 1:14:04Speaker 5: one seed.
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: We're doing what it could have, should have.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: You're not playing along.
- 1:14:07Speaker 7: Sorry.
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: My bad.
- 1:14:11Speaker 6: But again, this is a guy that hasn't played a
- 1:14:14Speaker 6: lot of football.
- 1:14:15Speaker 5: That's what If he came into the league, did what
- 1:14:20Speaker 5: he did on offense last year, played his bits on defense,
- 1:14:24Speaker 5: and then got hurt and didn't play the rest of
- 1:14:26Speaker 5: the year and came back this year, but they didn't
- 1:14:28Speaker 5: trade up and call him a unicorn and they're going
- 1:14:30Speaker 5: to change the game, everybody's saying, okay, it's a pretty good,
- 1:14:33Speaker 5: solid draft pick. But because of what they gave up
- 1:14:36Speaker 5: for him, because of what they said about him, it
- 1:14:39Speaker 5: changed the whole narrative. He was going to redefine how
- 1:14:43Speaker 5: guys play football. That's not what's happening. And it's not
- 1:14:48Speaker 5: going to happen unless they play more on offense.
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: And I think they will with time. If you were
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: in a regular season and he was playing straight through,
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: he's played 10 games. It would be like an early November.
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: Like that's where he is in his rookie season, if
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: you want to look at it that way. And I
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: think what they did early, which may have been a
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: hindrance as well, is they gave, he has both playbooks
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: and I think he was trying to do too much
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: at once. And now what they're trying to do is like, hey,
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: let's master one thing and then we'll incorporate the other
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: later on.
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: Pete, you know what's wild, man, is that we spent
- 1:15:17Speaker 4: kind of the preseason shows talking about, okay, when Travis
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: Hunter goes in on offense, who's coming out and everything?
- 1:15:22Speaker 4: Is it going to be Brian Thomas Jr.? Is it
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: going to be Parker Washington? Josh Cameron's going in. Never mind.
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: Now he's shown you can trust Josh Cameron a little bit.
- 1:15:32Speaker 4: So Travis Hunter's not even really needed right now on offense.
- 1:15:35Speaker 5: Which is why trading Brian Thomas is not that wild
- 1:15:39Speaker 5: a proposition to a team that needs a wide receiver.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: It's not, no, listen, man, I get what you're saying.
- 1:15:47Speaker 4: My only thing is right now, would you get value
- 1:15:50Speaker 4: on the dollar for Brian Thomas Jr.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: Probably not with the way that he's playing. No, but
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: if you put.
- 1:15:56Speaker 5: A package together with him in it, a receiver-needy team,
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: and you could pry away a pass-rushing defensive tackle or
- 1:16:03Speaker 5: a twitchy end, I would consider that.
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: I mean, if you can definitely get a need, Pete,
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: then sure. It's definitely on the table. But if we're talking, like,
- 1:16:09Speaker 4: future draft considerations, then I'm just going to say, well,
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: you know what?
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: Like, why not have depth?
- 1:16:14Speaker 4: Because knock on wood, but injuries can happen, right? And
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: if you've got to tell me, okay, well, Brian Thomas Jr.
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: might come off the bench and replace him, so be
- 1:16:22Speaker 4: it then.
- 1:16:22Speaker 5: Also, BT's your burner.
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: You don't have that.
- 1:16:24Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:16:25Speaker 5: I wouldn't trade him for draft picks.
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: I would keep him.
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: So you're saying if it's a need right now, interior
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: defensive line, fast edge.
- 1:16:32Speaker 5: Rusher, you're good?
- 1:16:33Speaker 6: Interior pass rusher, edge twitchy rusher.
- 1:16:36Speaker 5: That's what I would... Any package I could package together
- 1:16:38Speaker 5: to get something like that, then I would do that.
- 1:16:40Speaker 5: Because you would agree with that, wouldn't you?
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: I mean, I think.
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: It's risky, but at the same time, I mean, is
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: the risk worth the reward? I think so, right? Because
- 1:16:49Speaker 4: we're talking about you need more pass rush. Like they
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: have receivers right now and they have a Josh Cameron
- 1:16:54Speaker 4: who can come in and suffice. Now, do they have
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: a burner per se? Maybe not, but I'm willing to
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: sacrifice that if it means we can get to the
- 1:17:01Speaker 4: quarterback even more.
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: It's interesting. I feel like some of these issues were
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: eight months ago issues that we discussed and Pete, were
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: they just trying to motivate what they already had in
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: house because they didn't address them a ton.
- 1:17:17Speaker 5: No but they well they kind of did though they
- 1:17:19Speaker 5: they addressed it with a draft they got the fourth
- 1:17:22Speaker 5: round pick they used on a supposed pass rusher right.
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: Well they got wesley williams they got regis too for
- 1:17:28Speaker 4: interior purposes.
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: They got yeah.
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: You just heard Wesley Williams hasn't played yet.
- 1:17:35Speaker 5: Oh, Ro, Ro, Ro, Ro, Ro, Ro, Ro, Ro actually
- 1:17:37Speaker 5: made a couple plays on Sunday.
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: Rook had a sack, I believe. Yes, he did.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: He's still learning the game, too.
- 1:17:43Speaker 6: He's done a couple plays in a run game, too.
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's still learning, man. If you give him
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: some time, because I've said this about him, he's got
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: a great first step, right? And that's hard to teach.
- 1:17:52Speaker 4: So if you can kind of teach him the eye discipline,
- 1:17:55Speaker 4: getting comfortable playing that three or even that one if
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: you want to drop him down, with his first step,
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: it might be something.
- 1:18:01Speaker 6: Pete has a little bit of a disappointment was Dickerson.
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:18:06Speaker 5: I don't think he's been as flashy as he was.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: A year ago.
- 1:18:09Speaker 8: Do you agree?
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: I'm with you on that.
- 1:18:11Speaker 4: Yeah. But to me, that wasn't his game though, Pete.
- 1:18:15Speaker 5: Next step.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: Yeah. But I feel like he was never really a
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: flashy guy though.
- 1:18:19Speaker 5: No, but I thought he would, you know, I'm talking
- 1:18:21Speaker 5: about flash play.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:18:22Speaker 5: Play here.
- 1:18:23Speaker 6: He just, have you noticed them much?
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: I haven't.
- 1:18:26Speaker 5: No.
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: Is he even on.
- 1:18:28Speaker 6: The tackle sheet? Is he even on the tackle sheet?
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: I don't think so. There's not a lot on the
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: defensive score sheet, as we discussed, other than Devon Hamilton.
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: Dickerson had two tackles, one assisted tackle, so three combined
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: and zeros elsewhere.
- 1:18:44Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:18:47Speaker 6: Funny how they give tackles sometimes.
- 1:18:48Speaker 5: Like there was a play where somebody made the tackle
- 1:18:52Speaker 5: underneath and I think a Louis Khan or somebody came
- 1:18:54Speaker 5: over and they gave him credit for the tackle.
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: If you're near there, that's the key. Just stand by
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: the pile somewhere.
- 1:19:01Speaker 5: Ventrell is playing really good football, by the way.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: He is, man.
- 1:19:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: What's impressive about Ventrell?
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: He really is.
- 1:19:08Speaker 5: What's that?
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: What's impressed you most about him?
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: Remember, he used to be a liability in past coverage.
- 1:19:14Speaker 5: He's not a liability in past coverage anymore. Again, nobody's
- 1:19:18Speaker 5: asked him this. I've asked a couple of the guys
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: if this is true. He looks leaner to me. Like,
- 1:19:24Speaker 5: he's not the... plug that he was like a fire
- 1:19:27Speaker 5: hydrant he was he's leaner and i think he's running
- 1:19:30Speaker 5: better and he's still playing with a physical presence but
- 1:19:33Speaker 5: he looks like he's faster and more athletic to me
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: at least to me that's what it looks like on
- 1:19:37Speaker 5: tape compared to a year.
- 1:19:38Speaker 4: Ago you heard foy lucan say this a lot to
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: the point where i'm just like okay man i mean
- 1:19:42Speaker 4: like i'll take your word for it but now i'm
- 1:19:43Speaker 4: starting to believe it or you know they practice like
- 1:19:46Speaker 4: the whole eye discipline thing where you see and react And, yeah,
- 1:19:49Speaker 4: you saw that with that interception to Travis Hunter-Foy. But
- 1:19:52Speaker 4: you see with Ventrell Miller as well where, you know,
- 1:19:55Speaker 4: and I'm with you, Pete. I kind of question his
- 1:19:56Speaker 4: ability in space. We know he's a physical linebacker, right?
- 1:20:00Speaker 4: But can he play in space? Can he cover somebody?
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: You see with Ventrell where once he diagnoses what's going on,
- 1:20:06Speaker 4: He's to it like that. And that's the difference between
- 1:20:09Speaker 4: him right now and Branson Combs, who I thought was
- 1:20:11Speaker 4: going to be the better cover guy. Branson Combs seems
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: like he's maybe second-guessing a little too much right now
- 1:20:15Speaker 4: and still getting used to the position. Ventro Miller, whether
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: he's right or he's wrong, he's going to go. And
- 1:20:20Speaker 4: if he's wrong, he'll make up for it with effort.
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: And that's the biggest difference right now is the read
- 1:20:25Speaker 4: and reacting for those linebackers.
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: It's noticeable.
- 1:20:28Speaker 5: By the way, he is... And granted, we don't put
- 1:20:32Speaker 5: as much stock as most people do into these grades.
- 1:20:34Speaker 5: He's the top-rated PFF linebacker after three games.
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: Hmm.
- 1:20:39Speaker 6: Ventrell Miller.
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: Hmm.
- 1:20:42Speaker 5: Devin who?
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: Well, Devin Lloyd had a great game week two. He
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: did not play last week.
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: Yeah, he was hurt. But one of the things, you
- 1:20:51Speaker 5: always have to line up Devin Lloyd. Let's be real.
- 1:20:54Speaker 5: You don't have to do that with Ventrell Miller.
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: It's nice to see. A pleasant surprise. I know they
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: were betting on Ventrell, so what he's been able to
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: do has been impressive. I was going to say, when
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: we were talking about Rook-a-ro-ro-ro, Mason Smith went to Atlanta.
- 1:21:07Speaker 3: I feel like that name pops up every time I see.
- 1:21:10Speaker 6: Someone covering his pockets.
- 1:21:11Speaker 5: He's played some good football for Atlanta.
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: It feels like one of those, like, everybody needed a
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: little change of scenery, and now it's working.
- 1:21:18Speaker 6: Yeah, probably so. And, look, Mason Smith wasn't very good
- 1:21:21Speaker 6: in Jacksonville, let's be real.
- 1:21:23Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. But sometimes you're right. You go get a change
- 1:21:25Speaker 5: of scenery, get a different situation, and it starts working out.
- 1:21:28Speaker 5: Because he made some plays last week against the Packers.
- 1:21:32Speaker 5: He's been better. He had the talent. It was just
- 1:21:35Speaker 5: a matter of putting it together. I loved him coming out.
- 1:21:38Speaker 5: I thought he was going to be a steal in
- 1:21:39Speaker 5: the second round. And sometimes guys aren't motivated in certain situations,
- 1:21:44Speaker 5: and that was the word on him.
- 1:21:45Speaker 6: He wasn't as motivated in Jacksonville.
- 1:21:47Speaker 4: Well, and that's the thing, too, you have to realize,
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: and like– I always think it's a position coach thing, right?
- 1:21:52Speaker 4: Because you think, okay, well, this coach can get the
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: best out of him. Well, he's dealing with Liam Cohen, what,
- 1:21:57Speaker 4: maybe 10 minutes out of his day, right? But what
- 1:22:00Speaker 4: it comes down to is it comes down to your
- 1:22:01Speaker 4: defensive corner, but more specifically your position coach. And some
- 1:22:05Speaker 4: coaches work better with players than others. You know, some
- 1:22:07Speaker 4: players learn differently. It's just the way that it is.
- 1:22:09Speaker 4: And maybe just a new change of scenery is what
- 1:22:11Speaker 4: Mason Smith needed. But, like, I think if Mason Smith
- 1:22:13Speaker 4: stays here, I don't think they're going to get what
- 1:22:15Speaker 4: they got out of him in Atlanta. You know, it's
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: just the fact of it's a change of scenery, man.
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: Also, Atlanta looked crazy indifferent when they get their quarterback
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: back in. I just, that game as a whole was like.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: Yeah, Green Bay is.
- 1:22:27Speaker 5: Also, you're playing against a bad offensive line, and Green
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: Bay stinks. Yeah.
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: Is Green Bay bad now? Sorry to get totally sidetracked
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: from the Jaguars.
- 1:22:34Speaker 5: You know, it's funny.
- 1:22:35Speaker 6: Somebody put out something the other day.
- 1:22:38Speaker 5: They have... This kind of relates to the Jaguars, because
- 1:22:40Speaker 5: their offensive line is so bad, but they've had an...
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: They lost their left tackle as their best player for
- 1:22:45Speaker 5: the year. But they have five guys starting elsewhere... that
- 1:22:49Speaker 5: were on their roster two years ago, including Cole Van Lannen.
- 1:22:56Speaker 6: You know, the left tackle in.
- 1:22:57Speaker 5: Carolina, Rasheed Walker.
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:23:00Speaker 5: Myers, the center with the Jets. Jenkins is in Cleveland.
- 1:23:04Speaker 6: I mean, there's five of them.
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: And their line that they have now is so bad,
- 1:23:08Speaker 5: but they allow those guys all to leave.
- 1:23:10Speaker 6: It just made no sense. It's malpractice in the offensive line.
- 1:23:14Speaker 4: Pete, but here's the thing about the Packers, too, because,
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: you know, obviously they've got a lot of friends and
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: family back in Green Bay.
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: Yes, do weigh in.
- 1:23:19Speaker 4: And it's panic mode right now in Green Bay. You know,
- 1:23:22Speaker 4: they don't have Josh Jacobs right now. They can be
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: a run-first team. They don't have a wide receiver that
- 1:23:28Speaker 4: can get you 10 receptions a game. Like, they have
- 1:23:31Speaker 4: Matthew Golden, who's a deep threat, and they have Christian Watson,
- 1:23:34Speaker 4: who's a deep threat. But these guys aren't route runners.
- 1:23:37Speaker 4: They can't run the whole tree. They can't get you
- 1:23:40Speaker 4: 10 receptions a game. Well, Jaden Reed would, but he's hurt.
- 1:23:43Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. But he's been out, man. His
- 1:23:46Speaker 4: craft is a shell of himself right now. He was
- 1:23:48Speaker 4: their target monster.
- 1:23:49Speaker 5: By the way, I joked around today on our show.
- 1:23:52Speaker 5: Green Bay plays Tampa Bay.
- 1:23:54Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: Their offensive lines in the last two weeks, their game
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: on Thursday and their game on Sunday might have been
- 1:24:01Speaker 5: the two worst ever, so it's a six-on-six game. I
- 1:24:04Speaker 5: don't know if we've seen six-on-six football yet, but that's
- 1:24:07Speaker 5: basically what it's going to be.
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: Battle of the Bays. We're going to go national in
- 1:24:13Speaker 3: the next block, so let's do our final look-ahead, way-too-early
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: scouting report. Who needs to play well in Cincinnati for
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: them to get a win next week?
- 1:24:21Speaker 5: Hainsey. Hainsey, it's on you. This is the game... where
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: I'm concerned because the one problem with Hainsey is he's
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: not physical. And big power player like Dexter Lawrence, man,
- 1:24:36Speaker 5: that's going to be a problem for him. It is.
- 1:24:39Speaker 5: I'm curious to see how they figure out a plan
- 1:24:42Speaker 5: to block him. He's been so good early this year. Now,
- 1:24:46Speaker 5: Pittsburgh did some creative stuff. I don't know if you
- 1:24:48Speaker 5: saw the one play going around where they had Washington
- 1:24:53Speaker 5: blast them on the way out coming through the line.
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: I mean, I think they might do stuff like that.
- 1:24:59Speaker 5: Yeah. And strange and everything. But again, block him or
- 1:25:05Speaker 5: you're going to have problems all day long because he
- 1:25:08Speaker 5: can push right.
- 1:25:09Speaker 6: The worst thing a quarterback wants is pressure right in
- 1:25:11Speaker 6: your face, right.
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: Up the gut.
- 1:25:13Speaker 4: And for me, it's got to be the defensive line
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: and what the coach camp's plan is going to be
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: to get after Joe Burrow a little bit. Now you've
- 1:25:20Speaker 4: had Joe Burrow's number, you know, but it just feels
- 1:25:24Speaker 4: a little different this time around. And are you going
- 1:25:27Speaker 4: to send four and trust they can get home? Are
- 1:25:28Speaker 4: you going to start blitzing and leave a little more
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: man coverage? Like, I'm really curious to see what the
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: plan to contain Joe Burrow is because it's one thing
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: to contain guys like Drake May and Bo Nix.
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's of a different caliber.
- 1:25:41Speaker 5: It's a bad combination too. You're getting a team coming
- 1:25:43Speaker 5: off a division loss at home after being on the
- 1:25:46Speaker 5: road for two weeks. That's never, never a good thing.
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: You're going to be angry, I think. This week for
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: a matchup in Cincinnati is brought to you by Bud Light,
- 1:25:55Speaker 3: the official beer of the Jacksonville Jaguars. When we return,
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: we're going to talk about what's been going on around
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: the NFL, give you your Monday night football predictions as well.
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: This is Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Mr. Chubby's Wings.

- 1:26:30Speaker 1: Hey, hey, guys, that one feels real good. That one
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: feels good.
- 1:26:36Speaker 10: Hey, man, you talk about responding together as a team.
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: All week, there was no doubt, no.
- 1:26:42Speaker 10: Doubt that you guys were going to continue to do
- 1:26:45Speaker 10: it and do it and stay the course.
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: And, man, that's what happened.
- 1:26:49Speaker 10: Talk about complimentary football at its finest. Playing off each other, man.
- 1:26:53Speaker 10: Give it up for you guys, man. Really proud of you.
- 1:26:57Speaker 10: Really proud of you guys. That is a legitimate response
- 1:27:00Speaker 10: to who we know who we are, guys.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: We know who we are.
- 1:27:03Speaker 5: That's the reality.
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: Great job, fellas.
- 1:27:05Speaker 5: Great job.
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: Enjoy it tonight. All right, Jax on three.
- 1:27:08Speaker 4: One, two, three.
- 1:27:08Speaker 5: Jax!
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: Flying in fist pump from Liam Cullen. He was jacked up,
- 1:27:14Speaker 3: got to beat his hometown team. I mean, it's got
- 1:27:16Speaker 3: to feel great.
- 1:27:17Speaker 4: Listen, I voiced my concerns last year that that rotator cuff,
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: you know, if you keep on getting wins like that,
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: how much can that rotator cuff handle? But maybe the
- 1:27:25Speaker 4: guy's doing Pilates, some sort of yoga regimen. He's got
- 1:27:29Speaker 4: a lot of fluidity, a lot of flexibility in that shoulder.
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: Everybody's playing hurt, okay? After training camp, everybody's playing hurt.
- 1:27:36Speaker 3: You just got to go out and give 100%.
- 1:27:37Speaker 5: Yeah. By the way, there was something today from somebody
- 1:27:41Speaker 5: at ESPN that said that. Ah, there it is.
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: I mean, that's a Jacob Mizorowski fastball. Kyle, he plays
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: for the Brewers, by the way.
- 1:27:46Speaker 5: Oh, it's unbelievable.
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: Look at that fastball coming down the hill.
- 1:27:50Speaker 5: Boom.
- 1:27:50Speaker 4: That's a 100-mile prop right there. Liam, I'm talking on
- 1:27:54Speaker 4: that Pilates schedule, man. Hit me up, dude. I got
- 1:27:58Speaker 4: tight shoulders.
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: From punching, man.
- 1:28:00Speaker 5: But, Austin, I was telling you there's a thing from
- 1:28:03Speaker 5: ESPN that said that Josh Hines-Allen had the second most
- 1:28:07Speaker 5: pressures during the weekend.
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: Josh Hines-Allen has the second most pressures in the weekend?
- 1:28:14Speaker 5: This weekend.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: This weekend?
- 1:28:15Speaker 5: Yeah, this week.
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: Huh.
- 1:28:17Speaker 5: Behind Will Anderson.
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: Did you see that when you watched Pete?
- 1:28:20Speaker 5: No, I didn't see that. Did you?
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: Not really.
- 1:28:25Speaker 6: But they count when he got him on the boots.
- 1:28:28Speaker 4: But this has to count when Drake Mayweather was leaving
- 1:28:30Speaker 4: the pocket and then Josh Hines was chasing him down.
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: It's just one of those stats that's hard to quantify, right?
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: What does PFF say?
- 1:28:41Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know what they said about his pressure,
- 1:28:42Speaker 5: but they said they gave him a good grade though.
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: I do know.
- 1:28:45Speaker 6: Let me look and see. I'll tell you right now.
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: I was joking.
- 1:28:47Speaker 5: They did give him a good grade. No, because it's
- 1:28:49Speaker 5: interesting to look at all the people who grade this
- 1:28:52Speaker 5: stuff and see what they say, but I thought it...
- 1:28:55Speaker 5: Did you watch the tape?
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: I thought it was.
- 1:28:57Speaker 5: He wasn't He wasn't bad or anything, but it wasn't
- 1:28:59Speaker 5: like he was knocking people back and winning consistently.
- 1:29:03Speaker 4: I didn't think. So he had great discipline in terms
- 1:29:06Speaker 4: of the run game and everything. Wasn't peeking inside too much. But, like, yeah,
- 1:29:09Speaker 4: getting after the quarterback, I mean, we said it earlier
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: in the show. Like, Drake May in his career had
- 1:29:14Speaker 4: the second most time to throw in the pocket.
- 1:29:17Speaker 3: He was just panicking.
- 1:29:18Speaker 6: Like, his best grades for them were run defense.
- 1:29:21Speaker 5: Tackling and then he didn't get it he didn't get
- 1:29:23Speaker 5: a fantastic pass rush grade but he was the second
- 1:29:26Speaker 5: highest rated player and they gave him credit for one
- 1:29:30Speaker 5: hurry so i don't know what what you know i
- 1:29:33Speaker 5: didn't see anything no no sack one hurry so i
- 1:29:36Speaker 5: don't know he played a good game it's just he
- 1:29:38Speaker 5: wasn't a great pass rusher by the way the highest
- 1:29:41Speaker 5: rated player devon hamilton our man player of the.
- 1:29:45Speaker 4: Game player of the game who pete's trying to replace
- 1:29:47Speaker 4: a beat of a apparently but it's all good.
- 1:29:50Speaker 6: No, I'm not trying to replace him.
- 1:29:51Speaker 5: I'm just saying they need to get something. I would
- 1:29:54Speaker 5: go get a pass rusher now that I think of
- 1:29:56Speaker 5: it and move Trayvon Walker inside on third downs.
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind that.
- 1:29:59Speaker 3: GM Pete, he's changing his mind on the flag.
- 1:30:02Speaker 6: Hey, Tony Pacelli can do it. Anybody can do it.
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: They all came from Jaguar's happy hour. The success. You're next, Pete.
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: Let's do Around the NFL, brought to you by Paramount +,
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: the streaming home of our live local NFL on CBS games.
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: Once again, Jaguars in strong command of the AFC South,
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: which is now a combined 3-9. One other team had
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: to get a win because the Colts played the Texans.
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: Texans are 0-3, Pete. What happened to Texans running the South?
- 1:30:32Speaker 5: And playing the Cowboys this week in what's a big
- 1:30:35Speaker 5: game for both teams. So, yeah, again... The Colts went
- 1:30:40Speaker 5: into that game giving up 37 points per game, and
- 1:30:45Speaker 5: the Texans couldn't move the football consistently. They can't run
- 1:30:49Speaker 5: the ball. Remember, we revamped our offensive line. It's not
- 1:30:53Speaker 5: any better. They don't have any weapons.
- 1:30:56Speaker 6: The quarterback isn't playing great.
- 1:30:58Speaker 5: Defensively, there's still going to be a problem for everybody,
- 1:31:01Speaker 5: aside from week one when Josh Allen got them with
- 1:31:03Speaker 5: a bunch of big plays.
- 1:31:04Speaker 6: They're still good defensively, but they're not scoring well.
- 1:31:09Speaker 5: Points oh and three they came out of that lap
- 1:31:12Speaker 5: two years in a.
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: Row yeah but they had to rip off all those
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: runs those wins at the end to kind of make
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: up for it so they're again making it hard on
- 1:31:20Speaker 3: themselves uh the bills.
- 1:31:22Speaker 6: And they lost two at home already this year.
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: They have which is not a good start the bills
- 1:31:27Speaker 3: get a win but five turnovers still found a way
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: the chargers continuing on pete as you mentioned winless.
- 1:31:34Speaker 5: There's another one. They could end up going 0-9. Their
- 1:31:38Speaker 5: schedule is just brutal. They could go 0-9. And then
- 1:31:42Speaker 5: there's going to be questions about Harbaugh.
- 1:31:43Speaker 6: I don't think they'll fire him, but there'll be questions
- 1:31:47Speaker 6: about him.
- 1:31:47Speaker 3: The other Harbaugh getting a new quarterback, J.G. McCarthy leaving Minnesota,
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: heading to New York. How did we get to this point?
- 1:31:54Speaker 6: I said this on our show today.
- 1:31:57Speaker 5: If he went to New York and had success, did
- 1:32:01Speaker 5: Kevin O'Connell fix him? Or was he not fixable by
- 1:32:04Speaker 5: the quarterback guru? You know what I mean? Is he
- 1:32:07Speaker 5: going to be blamed or did he fix him? You
- 1:32:09Speaker 5: know how everybody leaves Minnesota. Kevin O'Connell got Sam Donald right.
- 1:32:12Speaker 5: He fixed him. He fixed him.
- 1:32:14Speaker 4: No, blame him for, number one, blame him for letting
- 1:32:17Speaker 4: Sam Darnold go and then blaming for maybe a fixed J.J.
- 1:32:20Speaker 4: McCarthy because right now you've got Kyler Murray and we'll
- 1:32:22Speaker 4: see how that turns out for you.
- 1:32:24Speaker 5: And you drafted him.
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: And you drafted him high.
- 1:32:27Speaker 5: So you've got a ham sandwich, a fifth-round pick for
- 1:32:30Speaker 5: the guy you picked in the first round. So blame the–
- 1:32:33Speaker 5: but they are 3-0.
- 1:32:36Speaker 4: By the way, shout out to Jameis Winston because nobody
- 1:32:39Speaker 4: spins a bad offense like Jameis Winston. Coming out and saying, well, yeah,
- 1:32:42Speaker 4: we put up 12 points. Six times two is 12,
- 1:32:46Speaker 4: and we did that for Jackson Dart.
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: John Harbaugh goes, oh, really cool. Here's J.J. McCarthy. We'll
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: see you later. Thanks for your services.
- 1:32:53Speaker 5: You know what that was? that was a deal they
- 1:32:56Speaker 5: had talked about before Sunday based on what they saw
- 1:32:59Speaker 5: from Jameis Winston. And then when they saw what Jameis
- 1:33:01Speaker 5: Winston did the last two games, they said, let's call
- 1:33:03Speaker 5: the Vikings again and make this deal with JJ McCarthy.
- 1:33:06Speaker 5: That's what that was.
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: Sure. I mean, he ran into Kim Scadavu on the,
- 1:33:10Speaker 3: trying to hand off.
- 1:33:11Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: There's, there's just a lot.
- 1:33:13Speaker 5: It wasn't good.
- 1:33:15Speaker 3: Uh, That somehow they got a field together in Brazil.
- 1:33:18Speaker 3: Ravens get that dramatic win over the Cowboys. Talking about
- 1:33:21Speaker 3: that Cowboys Texans matchup. Cowboys have been struggling.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: Pete, what's going on with your Super Bowl team?
- 1:33:26Speaker 5: Well, they have a lot of, they have nobody playing
- 1:33:28Speaker 5: on the back end. In fact, the guy, this is
- 1:33:30Speaker 5: how bad that was at the end of that game.
- 1:33:34Speaker 5: They had a kid that played two plays in that game.
- 1:33:37Speaker 6: And he's in man coverage on Zay Flowers.
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not good.
- 1:33:40Speaker 5: And they played cover one, and the safety that was
- 1:33:43Speaker 5: in the game played barely at all because he was
- 1:33:45Speaker 5: a replacement too, and he goes bailing to the deep center.
- 1:33:49Speaker 5: They love a big boy in the middle of the
- 1:33:51Speaker 5: field to hit the shot, got down, kicked the field goal.
- 1:33:54Speaker 5: Coaching malpractice is what that was at the end of
- 1:33:57Speaker 5: the game.
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: The Commanders beat the Seahawks yesterday. Marcus Mariota, correct?
- 1:34:03Speaker 5: You know what this was yesterday? It was a reminder
- 1:34:05Speaker 5: to all of us that, Nobody in the league is
- 1:34:07Speaker 5: any good right now. That's what it was.
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: I have no idea who's good. I say that every time.
- 1:34:11Speaker 5: Nobody does.
- 1:34:12Speaker 4: No.
- 1:34:13Speaker 6: I mean, think about the 3-0 teams.
- 1:34:16Speaker 5: The Vikings are one of them.
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: The Raiders. Are they good?
- 1:34:18Speaker 6: Are the Vikings good?
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: Are the Raiders good? They have a good defense.
- 1:34:22Speaker 5: The Chiefs, though? They've got a great defense. The Chiefs?
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:34:26Speaker 6: The Bills and the 49ers.
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: Are the Chiefs 3-0?
- 1:34:28Speaker 6: And the Eagles can get there tonight if they win.
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: The Chiefs are 3-0.
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: The Chiefs are 3-0, yeah.
- 1:34:33Speaker 5: Right, that's what I said.
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: I was making sure they were.
- 1:34:37Speaker 6: Are the Chiefs good?
- 1:34:40Speaker 3: They find ways to win.
- 1:34:42Speaker 4: I think they have a running game for the first
- 1:34:43Speaker 4: time in a long time that helps things out.
- 1:34:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're good. The Raiders are undefeated, and
- 1:34:49Speaker 5: the combined records of the teams they beat is 1-8. Oof. Yeah.
- 1:34:54Speaker 5: Because the Chargers are 0-1 and the Dolphins stink, and
- 1:34:57Speaker 5: then the Saints are now 1-2.
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: The Raiders.
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: The Browns are 2-1, by the way.
- 1:35:03Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: Are the Browns good now?
- 1:35:04Speaker 5: No.
- 1:35:05Speaker 7: No.
- 1:35:05Speaker 5: But I will say this. They played much better the
- 1:35:09Speaker 5: last two weeks in a lot of areas than they
- 1:35:11Speaker 5: did in week one. They really did.
- 1:35:14Speaker 6: The defense has been much better.
- 1:35:16Speaker 5: And you know what? Big division game Thursday night at
- 1:35:19Speaker 5: home against the Steelers, who are also 2-1, as are
- 1:35:23Speaker 5: the Bengals, as are the Ravens.
- 1:35:26Speaker 3: Todd Munkin's getting them together.
- 1:35:28Speaker 5: Making it happen. Todd's a good football coach. Absolutely.
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: Making it work.
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:35:32Speaker 3: Let's go. Let's talk tonight. The Philadelphia Eagles fly into
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: Chicago to take on the Bears at Soldier Field. Philly
- 1:35:38Speaker 3: trying to maintain their undefeated record. The Bears are trying
- 1:35:41Speaker 3: to keep everything together, stay afloat while their starting quarterback
- 1:35:46Speaker 3: is always competitive. It's always competitive in the NFC North. Eagles, Bears,
- 1:35:51Speaker 3: who you got?
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: There it is.
- 1:35:53Speaker 5: There's the deflection. You see that deflection? He was ready.
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: That's a real deflection.
- 1:35:58Speaker 5: Sorry, Brent Strange.
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: Not today. That's an interception, Trevor. Sorry about that. Go ahead, Kai.
- 1:36:02Speaker 8: Sorry.
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: Who you got?
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: Boom.
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: Jake Bay just threw it into my stomach.
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: I mean, you have to be, we're taking the Eagles, man. Like,
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: come on. Oh yeah. Yeah.
- 1:36:14Speaker 6: I'm taking the Eagles. Look, no Caleb Williams. Case Keenum start.
- 1:36:19Speaker 6: And that changes the whole.
- 1:36:20Speaker 5: Way you run the football.
- 1:36:21Speaker 6: There's no threat of the quarterback pulling the football and
- 1:36:23Speaker 6: running it out.
- 1:36:24Speaker 5: I'm taking the Eagles.
- 1:36:25Speaker 3: If Caleb's out, they said now it's a grade two.
- 1:36:27Speaker 3: So it could be three, three weeks, three, four weeks.
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: Can the bears stay afloat? Cause you're talking about the
- 1:36:33Speaker 3: Vikings three. No, that's a tough division.
- 1:36:34Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, and it's not a great defense. Remember, they
- 1:36:38Speaker 5: give up a boatload of points in week one to Carolina. Now,
- 1:36:42Speaker 5: last week it was in the rain, and Minnesota doesn't
- 1:36:44Speaker 5: score on anybody, so it was different. But without Caleb Williams,
- 1:36:47Speaker 5: they change who they are offensively. And it's funny how
- 1:36:50Speaker 5: things flip in two... Remember, week one, they're going to
- 1:36:53Speaker 5: set the scoring record. Week two, they scored three points,
- 1:36:57Speaker 5: and they lost their quarterback, and now they're playing with
- 1:36:59Speaker 5: Case Keenum, and they're wondering when they're going to get
- 1:37:01Speaker 5: the quarterback back. So it flips in a hurry in
- 1:37:03Speaker 5: this league.
- 1:37:04Speaker 3: So, no, I.
- 1:37:06Speaker 5: Remember they played the Eagles last year and they ran
- 1:37:08Speaker 5: it and ran it and ran it for over 200
- 1:37:09Speaker 5: yards against them. I don't think they're going to be
- 1:37:11Speaker 5: able to do that without Caleb Williams.
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: All right. Well, it's one to watch. We've got big
- 1:37:15Speaker 3: game on week four coming up against the Bengals. But
- 1:37:19Speaker 3: for now, we're going to enjoy this Victory Monday and
- 1:37:21Speaker 3: Victory Week. Thank you for joining us on Jaguars Happy Hour.
