- 1:06Speaker 3: dot COmON Jaguars YouTube JP Shadwick, Jeff Logman.
- 1:11Speaker 4: Hi, Jeff, are you we sit? JP? Coach Mark Tuckner
- 1:13Speaker 4: with us as well.
- 1:14Speaker 5: Hey coach, Hey man, how are you doing.
- 1:16Speaker 4: How's it going well?
- 1:17Speaker 5: Terrific? Great to be two and one and anxious to
- 1:19Speaker 5: be three in one.
- 1:20Speaker 3: You know, And and that's that's a positive place to be,
- 1:23Speaker 3: right And there's a lot to work on from last
- 1:25Speaker 3: week's game, but you can work on it after win.
- 1:27Speaker 3: We talked about that in week one. It's still the
- 1:30Speaker 3: same after week three. But two and one is a
- 1:33Speaker 3: really good spot.
- 1:33Speaker 6: Right now for this Absolutely, there's a whole bunch of
- 1:35Speaker 6: folks in the league I know would like to be
- 1:37Speaker 6: sitting in a noose chairs. So kudos to the staff
- 1:39Speaker 6: and the organization of being where we are right now.
- 1:41Speaker 4: I thought that was one of the most physical ball
- 1:43Speaker 4: games I've seen in a while. Yeah, I mean, just
- 1:46Speaker 4: like both sides. I thought, uh, you know, the Jaguars
- 1:49Speaker 4: trying to establish that physical identity this year. I thought
- 1:52Speaker 4: the Texans matched it, you know, for the most part,
- 1:54Speaker 4: especially with their defense. You know, I figured that, uh,
- 1:59Speaker 4: there's gonna be a lot of ice bags used this
- 2:02Speaker 4: week by both teams.
- 2:04Speaker 6: Absolutely, they laid it out on the line, There's no
- 2:06Speaker 6: doubt about that. And you know, we stared at versity
- 2:08Speaker 6: in the face there in the second half and came
- 2:10Speaker 6: out with the victory.
- 2:11Speaker 5: So again, great job by the group.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Yeah, as Liam Cohen said the other week, Yeah, lightning
- 2:16Speaker 3: delay is that adversity what they went through last week.
- 2:18Speaker 3: It's a little ward verse right where they giving up
- 2:20Speaker 3: a late touchdown and then having to take the ball
- 2:22Speaker 3: away twice and dropping the ball all day long. Again,
- 2:26Speaker 3: I mean that there's a lot going on in that
- 2:28Speaker 3: game in.
- 2:29Speaker 6: Sixty minutes, and they, like I said, they played it
- 2:31Speaker 6: and wanted at the end, so that's what matters.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Yeah, what I think impressed me too was just the
- 2:36Speaker 4: way that they kind of persevered, you know, I mean
- 2:38Speaker 4: as a team, but you know, because they didn't they
- 2:40Speaker 4: weren't able to do that in Cincinnati, but how resilient
- 2:44Speaker 4: some individual players were. And you know, look, they can't
- 2:47Speaker 4: give up a fifty yard bomb all double move Tyson Campbell,
- 2:51Speaker 4: but he fought back, you know, and had a huge
- 2:53Speaker 4: pass breakup that the last drive of the game and
- 2:56Speaker 4: then obviously caused the fumble that was a big part
- 2:59Speaker 4: of of winning that football game. And then Brian Thomas
- 3:02Speaker 4: Junior had I think it was three drops in that game,
- 3:05Speaker 4: and when they needed him the most. At the end
- 3:07Speaker 4: of the ball game, he comes up with a big play.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Darn near lost control of the ball as he was
- 3:12Speaker 4: switching hands, which is a little bit unnerving there, But nonetheless,
- 3:17Speaker 4: I mean, I thought it was a great example of
- 3:19Speaker 4: guys just just you know, buying in playing sixty minutes
- 3:24Speaker 4: and then finally getting it done. It's good stuff. And
- 3:26Speaker 4: I will say this, and Duff you could probably attest
- 3:29Speaker 4: to this. You've been around the league a long time.
- 3:31Speaker 4: When you're not a good football team historically, you're not
- 3:35Speaker 4: going to get any good calls. You're not going to
- 3:37Speaker 4: get any good breaks. The officials aren't going to do
- 3:39Speaker 4: you any favors. There were a couple calls again just
- 3:42Speaker 4: like they were in Cincinnati. Okay, there were a couple
- 3:45Speaker 4: of calls, A hold on Walker Little, a hold on
- 3:48Speaker 4: McCary that you just trying to go. I mean, what
- 3:52Speaker 4: are you looking at? What are you looking at? But
- 3:54Speaker 4: the reality is, until you establish yourself as a good
- 3:58Speaker 4: football team, you're not going to get the benefit of
- 4:00Speaker 4: the doubt. It's a bed football team historically, So no.
- 4:03Speaker 5: Question, I think, no question about that.
- 4:05Speaker 6: The great thing about it was that we found a
- 4:07Speaker 6: way to win and everybody contributed defense, offense, special team.
- 4:11Speaker 6: So again big step forward by the club coach.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Mark Dufner in studio with us, how would you go
- 4:19Speaker 3: about the drop issue? I know you were a defensive
- 4:22Speaker 3: coach all your career, but there's a lot going on
- 4:26Speaker 3: last week and it seemed to kind of blossom into
- 4:29Speaker 3: something bigger for other players and a little contagious.
- 4:32Speaker 4: How do you fix that?
- 4:33Speaker 5: Well, I think you drill it.
- 4:34Speaker 6: I think it's just like if I'm struggling catching the
- 4:37Speaker 6: ball on defense, if I'm struggling tackling, if I'm struggling
- 4:41Speaker 6: protecting my legs, you go to the fundamental components of
- 4:44Speaker 6: catching the ball or of tackling, whatever the obstacle is
- 4:48Speaker 6: in terms of the fundamental. So I'm sure that the
- 4:50Speaker 6: coaching staff's got them out there catching the jugs, you know,
- 4:53Speaker 6: after practice, or catching live ball stand out with Trevor.
- 4:57Speaker 6: You know, even tennis ball drills you know that they
- 5:00Speaker 6: can do in the classroom and they can do at
- 5:02Speaker 6: home and and uh, you know, I hand drills.
- 5:05Speaker 5: I mean, it's just things that I think.
- 5:07Speaker 6: It's just you know, you just focus on generally, you
- 5:10Speaker 6: get what you ask for, what you put focus on
- 5:12Speaker 6: and catching the football. I'm sure they're working on and
- 5:14Speaker 6: I think it'll come back in good way for us.
- 5:17Speaker 4: I think you go the old school approach and that
- 5:19Speaker 4: you start institute in a fine pot, in a wide
- 5:21Speaker 4: receiver room. Every drops a grand wow.
- 5:27Speaker 5: In the old day, the old days used to be
- 5:29Speaker 5: push ups. But now I can show.
- 5:30Speaker 4: It talking anything you throw up a thousand dollars a
- 5:33Speaker 4: drop well, I mean it was like maybe you know,
- 5:36Speaker 4: fifty bucks or a hundred bucks. But I mean, you know,
- 5:38Speaker 4: the economics of today make it a grant.
- 5:40Speaker 5: Yes, it's made it go up.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Little ill guarantee that catches catch right, goes up.
- 5:44Speaker 3: I bet they'll catch anything thrown to them, not just footballs.
- 5:47Speaker 3: That's how that would work. And that would be just
- 5:49Speaker 3: a private pot.
- 5:50Speaker 4: You know, at the end of the year, you can
- 5:51Speaker 4: take that money and do something collective.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Inflation, man, I mean there used to be one hundred bucks.
- 5:55Speaker 5: Now it's a thousands, you know what Jeff's talking about.
- 5:57Speaker 6: Teams have done those things and they've given that money
- 5:59Speaker 6: to charity or give it to the community. I mean
- 6:01Speaker 6: truly that that that's not a bad recipe for that.
- 6:05Speaker 4: We actually we didn't give to charity back in the day.
- 6:08Speaker 4: We actually gave it to the charity of ourselves. Are
- 6:11Speaker 4: having a you know, a little celebration.
- 6:13Speaker 5: Point understood, and there's merit for that.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Also, Yeah, have a you know, nice steak dinner somewhere,
- 6:17Speaker 4: you know, a couple of cars take you there, and
- 6:19Speaker 4: oh yeah, you know, maybe even catch a movie or
- 6:23Speaker 4: I mean some something you know, I don't know whatever,
- 6:25Speaker 4: I'm sure.

- 6:35Speaker 3: two point five FM, Jaguars dot com and Jaguars YouTube.
- 6:38Speaker 4: It is Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Let's take our first look at the San Francisco forty
- 6:43Speaker 3: nine ers three and zero football team. Even with all
- 6:47Speaker 3: the injuries that are piling up this year for the Niners,
- 6:51Speaker 3: and they are significant, quarterback hasn't played the last two weeks.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Mac Jones has played there. They've had wide receiver injuries
- 6:58Speaker 3: as well. George Kittle hasn't touched the field at tight end.
- 7:02Speaker 3: That's just on the offensive side and now on the
- 7:04Speaker 3: defensive side is starting.
- 7:05Speaker 4: To bleed over as well.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Let's start, though, Duff with the forty nine ers offense,
- 7:11Speaker 3: and they've done just enough to win games here in
- 7:14Speaker 3: the first three weeks. When you have this Christian McCaffrey
- 7:18Speaker 3: back there, he kind of helps you do some things offensively.
- 7:21Speaker 3: What do they look like on tape offensively.
- 7:23Speaker 5: Well, they're a very sound run, play pass type team,
- 7:27Speaker 5: and I think that the head coach, Shanahan has done
- 7:29Speaker 5: a good job of marrying those concepts. That's kind of
- 7:32Speaker 5: what they've been known for. They're going to motion every
- 7:34Speaker 5: play and they try to capture your eyes with that
- 7:36Speaker 5: in terms of what the defense does. But I mean,
- 7:39Speaker 5: I think you've got to admire number one, what McCaffrey does.
- 7:42Speaker 5: I mean, first of all.
- 7:43Speaker 6: He's I think he's leading the league right now with
- 7:46Speaker 6: most touches by anybody, both rushing in terms of reception. Yeah, yeah,
- 7:53Speaker 6: so he's right at the top as far as that's concerned.
- 7:55Speaker 6: And really their offense is going to go through him,
- 7:56Speaker 6: and most recently Piersall the Florida grad that it's a
- 8:00Speaker 6: number one they're wide receiver who's really playing pretty darn
- 8:03Speaker 6: good ball for him. Two But McCafferty, you've got to
- 8:06Speaker 6: tackle him. I mean that guy has yak yar. He's
- 8:08Speaker 6: great with yak yard, which means yards after the catch
- 8:11Speaker 6: or the you know, he's hitting the ball in the run.
- 8:13Speaker 6: So this guy is obviously a real force.
- 8:16Speaker 5: You got to know that.
- 8:17Speaker 6: I think he had one hundred and I think in
- 8:19Speaker 6: his career against the Jags it's been almost one hundred
- 8:22Speaker 6: and ninety yards a game. So you know, again he's
- 8:24Speaker 6: been a major factor for them and everything that they do.
- 8:27Speaker 6: He's got twelve games with ten catches or more in
- 8:30Speaker 6: his career and one of them last week against Arizona,
- 8:33Speaker 6: So again, he'll be a very strong and prolific part
- 8:36Speaker 6: of what they're trying to do offensively. And then and
- 8:38Speaker 6: then Piersoll right now is I think he's I think
- 8:41Speaker 6: he's leading the league in contested catches and he's had
- 8:44Speaker 6: two games over one hundred yards. So you've got an
- 8:47Speaker 6: explosive player there. Their issue in their running game is
- 8:49Speaker 6: they're they're they're struggling there the most. I think they're
- 8:53Speaker 6: twenty sixth in the league and rushing and averaging all
- 8:55Speaker 6: about three yards three and three point three yards of carries.
- 8:58Speaker 6: So we're gonna have to hammer that run game and
- 9:00Speaker 6: get them into situations where again, now we can gang
- 9:04Speaker 6: up a little bit on what they're going to try
- 9:05Speaker 6: to do in the passion game.
- 9:07Speaker 4: Yeah, when Kyle Shanahan offense is at its best is
- 9:12Speaker 4: when their running game is working, and right now, the
- 9:15Speaker 4: running game is not operating at a high level. The
- 9:19Speaker 4: interior guards for the offensive line are not great, and
- 9:23Speaker 4: I think that's a big reason as to why they're
- 9:25Speaker 4: not performing at a high level. Trent Williams getting little old,
- 9:29Speaker 4: not as good in run protection as he is in
- 9:32Speaker 4: past protection. If you get the forty nine ers to
- 9:35Speaker 4: where they're dropped back passing, you got them out of
- 9:37Speaker 4: their groove, okay, because that's not what they want to do.
- 9:40Speaker 4: They want they want to move the quarterback, play action,
- 9:43Speaker 4: all those different kinds of things off of the run,
- 9:46Speaker 4: and the Jaguars have been very good against the run
- 9:49Speaker 4: so far, so if they can continue to do that
- 9:52Speaker 4: against the forty nine ers, then I think you've got
- 9:54Speaker 4: a real solid chance to put pressure on whoever's playing
- 9:57Speaker 4: quarterback and stopping that offense. Again, you go back to
- 10:01Speaker 4: I remember the game here, and then you go back
- 10:03Speaker 4: to the game that was in San Francisco a while back.
- 10:06Speaker 4: They were running the ball like Champs against the Jaguars.
- 10:10Speaker 4: And when they can do that, they're hard to stop. Period.
- 10:13Speaker 4: That's where it goes.
- 10:13Speaker 6: Yeah, and a coach, as Jeff was saying that in
- 10:16Speaker 6: terms of their offensive line, it's an old group and
- 10:19Speaker 6: it's also not a very big group. They're kind of
- 10:21Speaker 6: light as far as that's concerned. So again, we got
- 10:24Speaker 6: to take advantage, like always in every game, winning that
- 10:27Speaker 6: line of scrimmage.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Heinz Allen and Trayvon Walker playing really good football right now.
- 10:31Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to that matchup of Trent Williams, future
- 10:33Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, Like you said, get a little older now,
- 10:35Speaker 3: sixteenth year in the league. But I think Josh has
- 10:39Speaker 3: some ideas for him this week. It sounds like I'm
- 10:41Speaker 3: talking to him in the locker room.
- 10:42Speaker 6: Oh, I don't think there's any doubt. And like I said,
- 10:44Speaker 6: he's really a game wrecker. When you watch him and
- 10:47Speaker 6: Trevon right now, you feel him in the games, they're
- 10:49Speaker 6: forcing the issue, not always in the statistic end of
- 10:52Speaker 6: but they're affecting the quarterback. Was what you got to do,
- 10:55Speaker 6: and really, you know, depending not, I think we're gonna
- 10:58Speaker 6: get purty, but you know, if you look at what
- 11:00Speaker 6: Jones has done. He's had He's very effective with the
- 11:03Speaker 6: short ball. I mean, I think he's like twenty one
- 11:05Speaker 6: out of twenty out of twenty one in short passes
- 11:08Speaker 6: those that are.
- 11:08Speaker 5: In the air from zero to nine yards.
- 11:10Speaker 6: So they're going to still use the quick game based
- 11:13Speaker 6: on our rush in terms of what our ends present
- 11:15Speaker 6: to them.
- 11:16Speaker 4: That's gonna be a great matchup though, Josh versus Trent.
- 11:19Speaker 3: It was a great chance for him to go against
- 11:21Speaker 3: a guy who's gonna be in Canton one day and
- 11:23Speaker 3: oh yeah, you know, Any's two sacks away from the
- 11:25Speaker 3: franchise record.
- 11:26Speaker 4: I mean, what's amazing to me is that Washington just
- 11:31Speaker 4: let him go. I mean.
- 11:34Speaker 5: That it's hard to believe, what are you doing?
- 11:36Speaker 4: I mean that's of course, you know when Washington had
- 11:37Speaker 4: some ownership questions and some questions about the operation of
- 11:41Speaker 4: the organization. But you're talking about a Hall of Fame,
- 11:44Speaker 4: Hall of Fame player and he's getting up there.
- 11:47Speaker 3: Though.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Now sixteen years in the league and Josh is playing,
- 11:51Speaker 4: I think is as a as a top five edge
- 11:54Speaker 4: player in the league. Doesn't have the sack numbers to
- 11:57Speaker 4: back that up, but you know, game win play there
- 12:00Speaker 4: at the end of the ball game the other day
- 12:02Speaker 4: had a half a sack with Armstead playing really strong
- 12:05Speaker 4: against the run too. They had one play they tried
- 12:08Speaker 4: to crack him and he just essentially turns the wheels
- 12:10Speaker 4: and makes the play. I mean, he's fun to watch.
- 12:13Speaker 4: And of course Trayvon plays a game like a complete
- 12:16Speaker 4: bully and I love watching that. And mckivitz the right
- 12:19Speaker 4: tackle the forty nine ers. He better put some sandbags
- 12:22Speaker 4: in his drawers this week because I don't know if
- 12:24Speaker 4: he's got enough lead in his pants to take on
- 12:27Speaker 4: forty four. He's one of the light ones.
- 12:29Speaker 5: He's one of the light ones, and Jeff's on it.
- 12:31Speaker 6: I mean, both those tackles right now, eyes are biggest
- 12:34Speaker 6: spaghetti plays right now, knowing what they're going to face.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Jaguars linebacker play has been solid to of course we
- 12:39Speaker 3: know about Foyer Lukan, but Devin Lloyd has been flashing
- 12:42Speaker 3: early in this season.
- 12:43Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you a couple of plays that he made.
- 12:46Speaker 6: He made an open field tackle for loss early in
- 12:48Speaker 6: the ballgame on I think a screen that was out
- 12:50Speaker 6: on the edge there.
- 12:51Speaker 5: That was decisive confidence.
- 12:53Speaker 4: That was one of the Nico Collins that's correct.
- 12:55Speaker 6: And physical, and I mean he's all over the place.
- 12:58Speaker 6: And the other thing he's doing a great job of
- 13:00Speaker 6: that you may not see all the time is Anthony's
- 13:03Speaker 6: utilizing him in the pass rush. In terms of pass
- 13:06Speaker 6: rush games, he's punching the hole in their pass protection
- 13:09Speaker 6: to open up lanes for either himself or the adjacent
- 13:13Speaker 6: defensive lineman. And so what I mean by that he
- 13:15Speaker 6: may attack the edge of the center to pick him
- 13:18Speaker 6: so that the tackle can come around to take a
- 13:21Speaker 6: rush rush lane away. So really impressive what his production's
- 13:26Speaker 6: been and his willingness to not only participate on defense
- 13:29Speaker 6: but special teams.
- 13:30Speaker 4: Yeah, I wanted to throw a little shout out to
- 13:33Speaker 4: defensive coordinator Campanelli because in that ballgame they utilize Devin
- 13:37Speaker 4: Lloyd as a pick on that player you're talking about inside,
- 13:41Speaker 4: But the one that really stood out was the sack
- 13:44Speaker 4: the Trayvon God. Okay, you got a rookie left tackle
- 13:48Speaker 4: and Arianta Ursrie for the Houston Texans, and so they
- 13:52Speaker 4: send Devin Lloyd, you know, he's a linebacker position, and
- 13:55Speaker 4: he attacks the inside hip of the tackle and then
- 13:59Speaker 4: the running back is signed to block the linebacker. So
- 14:01Speaker 4: the running back obviously chases them. Devn gets a push
- 14:05Speaker 4: on the hip of the tackle, Trayvon plants his foot
- 14:09Speaker 4: and then comes underneath and it's like a pick play
- 14:11Speaker 4: in basketball, okay, and it's designed to get Trayvon free. Well,
- 14:15Speaker 4: it actually got Devon free, but he missed the sack
- 14:19Speaker 4: and then Trayvon cleans it up. But I mean that's coaching.
- 14:23Speaker 4: I mean, that's you know, that's that's the x's and o's.
- 14:25Speaker 4: That's not Jimmy and Joe or Devon and Trayvon. I
- 14:28Speaker 4: mean that's that's a really good play design there at
- 14:30Speaker 4: a critical time.
- 14:31Speaker 3: And one final thought on this Jaguars defense as well,
- 14:34Speaker 3: positive play from the secondary. Yeah, we know about the takeaways,
- 14:37Speaker 3: but in run support coming up, making physical tackles and stuff.
- 14:42Speaker 3: When you have that from your secondary, you got something,
- 14:45Speaker 3: and especially you're gonna need it this week against McCaffrey.
- 14:47Speaker 6: Absolutely, and offenses are gonna challenge your secondary. You know,
- 14:51Speaker 6: they always to determine what their run fits are going
- 14:54Speaker 6: to be and how tough they can fit in the
- 14:56Speaker 6: run game. Most of the time they want to run
- 14:58Speaker 6: at corners and guys are not going to be aggressive
- 15:00Speaker 6: in the run game. So again, kudos stat Group two.
- 15:03Speaker 6: They are showing up. You don't want them to show
- 15:05Speaker 6: up too much.
- 15:06Speaker 4: Now.
- 15:06Speaker 6: We want to be able to handle them with the
- 15:07Speaker 6: front seven. But when they do, we want them to
- 15:09Speaker 6: make plays and tackles.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Travis Hunter coming up and run support making a play
- 15:13Speaker 3: and of course we know about the safety is what
- 15:15Speaker 3: they can do as well. Monday Night Football coming to

- 15:41Speaker 3: we'll get into the Jaguars offensive matchup against Robert Sala's
- 15:46Speaker 3: scheme the forty nine Ers defense coming up this Sunday
- 15:50Speaker 3: at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. This is Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 16:00Speaker 7: At the same time, defenses are rotating guys, especially at
- 16:02Speaker 7: the defensive line position, so it's not like there are
- 16:05Speaker 7: no snaps from previous games where Bosa hasn't been on
- 16:07Speaker 7: the field, So do you expect things to be a
- 16:10Speaker 7: little bit similar a little bit different in some regards,
- 16:13Speaker 7: But it's not like losing a quarterback or something on
- 16:17Speaker 7: offense where your every single snap is a complete overhaul
- 16:21Speaker 7: of the offense. Certainly, his loss will be felt because
- 16:24Speaker 7: he's such a phenomenal player, but you feel things out,
- 16:28Speaker 7: but you've seen a little bit of how the defense
- 16:30Speaker 7: looks without him out there.

- 17:05Speaker 3: and Jaguars YouTube. Let's take a look at the Jaguars
- 17:08Speaker 3: offensive matchup this week against the San Francisco defense. And
- 17:13Speaker 3: you just heard you Ainski there talking about the loss
- 17:15Speaker 3: of Nick Bosa, the fantastic defensive lineman for the forty
- 17:19Speaker 3: nine ers, out for the year with a knee injury. Duff,
- 17:23Speaker 3: What does this do for the attack on defense? How
- 17:26Speaker 3: do they overcome this? And what have they looked like
- 17:29Speaker 3: in the first three weeks of the season.
- 17:31Speaker 6: Well, they've looked pretty good on defense. I mean, shoot,
- 17:34Speaker 6: they're ranked well in defense. They're they're probably worst position
- 17:38Speaker 6: as far as that's concerned stopping the run, but they've
- 17:41Speaker 6: been pretty darn good in the rankings as far as
- 17:45Speaker 6: defense concern. This is a similar defense to Houston that
- 17:48Speaker 6: we played last week. Tamiko Ryans, Robert shal They're all
- 17:51Speaker 6: in the same family, if you will, and so that'll
- 17:53Speaker 6: help us. They're a team that'll show a too deep shell.
- 17:56Speaker 6: They're going to be basically in a four man front
- 17:58Speaker 6: most of the time without Bosa. Now that's going to
- 18:02Speaker 6: be a factor for him, because when they have had
- 18:04Speaker 6: Bosa in the lineup and all down blitz percentage it's
- 18:06Speaker 6: about forty five percent. When he's not in the game,
- 18:10Speaker 6: it's dropped down to about twenty eight percent, So I
- 18:12Speaker 6: think their coordinator, especially Salas, felt better when he's got
- 18:15Speaker 6: bos in the game. And also in terms of times
- 18:18Speaker 6: to pass. In terms of the passing game, there's about
- 18:20Speaker 6: another half second that they lose that the offense gains
- 18:24Speaker 6: when Bosa's not in there. As far as that's concerned,
- 18:26Speaker 6: he's been a factor there and even just their record
- 18:29Speaker 6: when he hasn't been in the game, they're like six
- 18:31Speaker 6: and twelve when he hasn't played. So he'll affect them
- 18:34Speaker 6: in terms of their game plan. Him not being in
- 18:36Speaker 6: there will be affected by how much they blitz, by
- 18:38Speaker 6: how much time we have to throw. The guy that's
- 18:41Speaker 6: going to speak a spike up for them has been
- 18:44Speaker 6: Bryce Huff, a guy that had been with him salah
- 18:47Speaker 6: At with the Jets. Real hard play, effective players, an
- 18:52Speaker 6: edge defensive end type guy. I think he's got two
- 18:55Speaker 6: sacks for the year, had a hit last a sack
- 18:57Speaker 6: last week at a critical one. So they'll try to
- 19:00Speaker 6: implement him quite a bit, and then I think you'll
- 19:02Speaker 6: see a little more in terms of maybe some similar
- 19:05Speaker 6: application of Fred Warner in the blitz game.
- 19:08Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know the thing, you said there. The
- 19:10Speaker 4: kind of is surprising. You said that the blitz rate
- 19:13Speaker 4: goes up when Bosa's on the field, which is weird,
- 19:16Speaker 4: it's kind of counterproductive. But I think you bring up
- 19:19Speaker 4: a great point and that a lot of coordinators would
- 19:22Speaker 4: be like, Okay, if we're going to send the blitz,
- 19:24Speaker 4: that means we don't want to cover as long and
- 19:27Speaker 4: we're worried about it, so we want to make sure
- 19:30Speaker 4: that it gets home. So I think he just feels
- 19:32Speaker 4: more confident with Bosa on the field blitzing because the
- 19:35Speaker 4: blitz gets there faster with him, and he feels a
- 19:38Speaker 4: little more confident to do that. But a lot of
- 19:40Speaker 4: times you would think the opposite is not on the field,
- 19:43Speaker 4: we need to blitz because we don't have him on
- 19:46Speaker 4: the field. But it's that's a really interesting kind of
- 19:48Speaker 4: thing there, that that you point out Duff and you
- 19:51Speaker 4: know you can't replace a guy like that. I mean, look,
- 19:54Speaker 4: you know Huff is a good player, but he's not Bosa.
- 19:58Speaker 4: I mean, Bosa is one of those once in a
- 20:01Speaker 4: lifetime kind of players. You know, he's he's right there
- 20:03Speaker 4: along the line to one of the guys we saw
- 20:05Speaker 4: last week fifty five. Oh yeah, Daniel hun Yeah, Daniels,
- 20:10Speaker 4: and he's, you know, a ten sack of year in
- 20:12Speaker 4: his career type guy. And that's exactly what Nick Bosa is.
- 20:16Speaker 4: I mean, he's that kind of an impact player and
- 20:19Speaker 4: them not having him and obviously Kittle the tight end.
- 20:22Speaker 4: And you know, if you sit there and you compare
- 20:25Speaker 4: the roster of the team that came in here a
- 20:28Speaker 4: couple of years ago on Monday Night football with what
- 20:31Speaker 4: it is now, it ain't even close. I mean it's
- 20:34Speaker 4: a completely different team. I mean it's they're almost going
- 20:37Speaker 4: through a bit, a bit of a rebuild or a reload,
- 20:40Speaker 4: whatever you want to call that.
- 20:41Speaker 6: You know, but what you have to do now you
- 20:44Speaker 6: have to and that's right. I think you have to
- 20:45Speaker 6: recognize though they found a way to win in these
- 20:48Speaker 6: last three games. It beat a two to zero Arizona
- 20:50Speaker 6: team in the last game, and that's with all these injuries,
- 20:53Speaker 6: so and with a number two quarterback. So I mean
- 20:57Speaker 6: you're going to get this team, you know, charging ahead.
- 20:59Speaker 6: I think we'll get their best shot. I'm just glad
- 21:01Speaker 6: they've got a big game coming after ours too, which, right,
- 21:04Speaker 6: hopefully me take a little bit of their vision off
- 21:07Speaker 6: of us.
- 21:08Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've won those three games with defense. Oh sure,
- 21:11Speaker 4: I mean that's you know, that's how they're winning it.
- 21:13Speaker 4: I mean it's not like Brock Purdy and Mac Jones
- 21:16Speaker 4: were just lighting it up with all these weapons on offense.
- 21:19Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the defense has given up about
- 21:21Speaker 4: sixteen points a game. That's winning football right there. So
- 21:26Speaker 4: if you can find a way to take advantage of
- 21:29Speaker 4: the Bosa lists forty nine er defense, I think you
- 21:33Speaker 4: got an excellent chance of traveling to the West Coast
- 21:36Speaker 4: and getting a win. Coach, another name you mentioned earlier,
- 21:39Speaker 4: Fred Warner, linebacker, eighth year in the league, and just
- 21:43Speaker 4: what does he bring to the table as a leader
- 21:45Speaker 4: for that defense and then in terms of scheme, what
- 21:48Speaker 4: can he do well?
- 21:49Speaker 6: He's a major impact in terms of a leader in
- 21:52Speaker 6: that team. And I think as he plays is how
- 21:54Speaker 6: they go. I mean he's high energy, high production, great physicality.
- 21:59Speaker 6: I mean you see him all the time, you know,
- 22:02Speaker 6: urging and congratulating his teammates, saw major personality and what
- 22:06Speaker 6: they do. I mean eleven tackles last week, two passes
- 22:09Speaker 6: defended a batter pass. He was a National NFL Player
- 22:12Speaker 6: of the Week against the Orleans the week before they
- 22:14Speaker 6: played Arizona, So he's a major guy. And then the
- 22:17Speaker 6: other guy, this rookie, this ninety eight Michael Williams. You know,
- 22:21Speaker 6: he's been a pretty effective run defender for them. They
- 22:23Speaker 6: don't have a explosive run when he's been in the game.
- 22:26Speaker 6: In fact, their run percentage, people's run percentage is about
- 22:29Speaker 6: twenty five percent against the forty nine ers when he's playing.
- 22:33Speaker 6: It spikes up to damn near seventy percent when he's
- 22:36Speaker 6: not in there. So he's been a major factor and
- 22:38Speaker 6: one will have to be aware of in the run game.
- 22:39Speaker 4: Something about those Georgia defensive vents. George Shortey just keeps
- 22:44Speaker 4: churning them out. Man, they do half defense. You need
- 22:49Speaker 4: a defensive lineman. Okay, go scout Georgia.
- 22:52Speaker 3: You'll probably find four of them in Philly Right now.
- 22:54Speaker 6: I think got one of the best statements I've heard
- 22:56Speaker 6: a long time, because that's right.
- 22:57Speaker 5: You go to Athens if you're looking.
- 22:59Speaker 4: For d line pretty much how that works?
- 23:01Speaker 3: All right, Duff, let's get some keys to a Jaguars
- 23:04Speaker 3: victory against the forty nine ers. It would be the
- 23:06Speaker 3: Jaguars first win on the road against San Francisco all time.
- 23:10Speaker 4: What you got.
- 23:11Speaker 6: Well, I think, you know, it comes back to kind
- 23:13Speaker 6: of what we've already said. I think, offensive, we've got
- 23:15Speaker 6: to run the ball, and that's what this is no
- 23:18Speaker 6: brainer statement. But control the football by doing it, take
- 23:20Speaker 6: their fans out of it, keep their offense off the field.
- 23:24Speaker 6: That'll be a big part of it. And I think
- 23:26Speaker 6: our quarterback using his legs that the forty nine ers
- 23:30Speaker 6: blitz considerably less against Arizona based on what they anticipated
- 23:34Speaker 6: the legs of the quarterback that Arizona has and the
- 23:38Speaker 6: fact that he can scramble like it is. So I
- 23:40Speaker 6: think we if he uses his legs, if we use
- 23:42Speaker 6: our legs earlier quarterback position, that'll help us win first
- 23:45Speaker 6: down where we can have manageable downs as it goes on.
- 23:47Speaker 6: And then, just like every week, eliminate the penalties and
- 23:50Speaker 6: the drops. You know, let's get closer to playing as
- 23:53Speaker 6: clean and complete a game as we can. On defense,
- 23:56Speaker 6: it's going to be again, you know, containing McCaffrey and
- 24:00Speaker 6: your saul in terms of what they add to the
- 24:01Speaker 6: run game and passing game collectively. When the takeaway and
- 24:05Speaker 6: explosive battle and affect this quarterback, you know, with our
- 24:09Speaker 6: coverage and rush, those are going to be the things
- 24:11Speaker 6: and and I didn't tell you anything that's cataclysmic here,
- 24:14Speaker 6: but but I do think it's a you know, that's
- 24:17Speaker 6: the way to win. That's going to be the recipe
- 24:19Speaker 6: for success for us.
- 24:20Speaker 4: Oh, put one one out there. I think this is
- 24:22Speaker 4: the biggest one. Trevor's got to be better. And the
- 24:26Speaker 4: reason I say that is that, you know, the Texans
- 24:29Speaker 4: challenged you. They played a five men front, They played
- 24:33Speaker 4: bear forty six, and they said, go ahead and throw it,
- 24:36Speaker 4: go ahead, beat us, go throw it. Ye okay, So
- 24:39Speaker 4: the quarterback has to be able to respond. The wide
- 24:42Speaker 4: receivers have to be able to respond to that type
- 24:46Speaker 4: of front and defense and make them pay. And in
- 24:50Speaker 4: that pass, this pass, Gin didn't make them pay. And
- 24:54Speaker 4: against the forty nine ers they play good defense. You
- 24:56Speaker 4: got to make them pay. And if you don't make
- 24:58Speaker 4: them pay, you're gonna have hard time win.
- 25:00Speaker 3: A quarterback play gotta have it all week and always, Yeah,
- 25:04Speaker 3: not just this week, that's that's every week. One final
- 25:07Speaker 3: thing with you give us a tackling plan for McCaffrey.
- 25:09Speaker 4: How do you go about doing that?
- 25:11Speaker 6: I mean, he's he's made everybody miss and and you know,
- 25:14Speaker 6: Like I mentioned, the yardage after the after him getting
- 25:17Speaker 6: the ball, whether it be a catch or not, has
- 25:19Speaker 6: been tough. But it's going to be what what the
- 25:21Speaker 6: Jacks have already been doing. They've they've had really good
- 25:24Speaker 6: rally to the ball. They've done a good job of
- 25:26Speaker 6: being in position, uh and then and then grabbing cloth,
- 25:29Speaker 6: grabbing body parts when you get an opportunity to get
- 25:31Speaker 6: the guy and hold on for dear life. I mean,
- 25:34Speaker 6: because this guy is a real force as far as
- 25:36Speaker 6: that's concerned. But I think that they just keep doing
- 25:39Speaker 6: what they've been doing. They've been tackling pretty well. This
- 25:41Speaker 6: guy will challenge as good as anybody.
- 25:43Speaker 4: Big game for Foy and Devons, Oh yeah, you know
- 25:45Speaker 4: with with McCaffrey, because I mean they're they're kind of
- 25:49Speaker 4: in a state of flux with all of their other weapons,
- 25:53Speaker 4: you know, in the passing game, wide receivers on ir
- 25:55Speaker 4: pup and the tight ends on injured reserves. So mcay
- 26:01Speaker 4: is a strong, comfortable player to throw the ball to
- 26:04Speaker 4: for the quarterbacks. He's if you can stop him in
- 26:07Speaker 4: all aspects, you got a great chance of winning.
- 26:10Speaker 6: You know, there's one other thing I was gonna tell you, Yeah,
- 26:12Speaker 6: and it's similar to a lot of teams, but he
- 26:15Speaker 6: has some tales. McCaffrey. You know, when he gets in
- 26:18Speaker 6: the shotgun, he gets you know, he's cheating out to
- 26:20Speaker 6: get out. He clearly gives you that. When he's going
- 26:23Speaker 6: to release, he gets behind the offensive tackle, and so
- 26:25Speaker 6: I know Foyer and Devin will be aware of that.
- 26:28Speaker 6: When he's wide in the shotgun, he's behind that tackle.
- 26:30Speaker 6: He's getting out, cheating out to get out. When they
- 26:33Speaker 6: get in the two back sets, which they do some,
- 26:36Speaker 6: it's pretty strong in terms of the run game. Now
- 26:38Speaker 6: you're gonna get play pass, but it's a stronger run indicator.
- 26:41Speaker 6: And if I know I can get any edge there,
- 26:43Speaker 6: that's big. And then when he's the running back in particular,
- 26:46Speaker 6: but also Robinson, when he gets behind the quarterback we
- 26:48Speaker 6: call it at the home position or at the dot,
- 26:51Speaker 6: that's a big run indicator. In play pass, which they do,
- 26:54Speaker 6: but I mean it's strong in the run game. So
- 26:56Speaker 6: awareness of where twenty three is will be big stars.
- 27:00Speaker 5: And I know they've been schooled on that. So let's
- 27:02Speaker 5: get an edge on them. Let's get after.
- 27:04Speaker 4: Its funny brings out a lineman up going. I mean,
- 27:06Speaker 4: you go all the way back to the Dan Marino days. Okay,
- 27:09Speaker 4: Jim Jensen, remember the tight end slash. You know he's
- 27:12Speaker 4: like Austin player. Okay, war number eleven.
- 27:15Speaker 5: Yep, Okay.
- 27:16Speaker 4: You sit there and you could watch his lineman if
- 27:19Speaker 4: he was, if he had his foot that will split
- 27:21Speaker 4: the feet of the offensive tackle past, he was getting out.
- 27:25Speaker 4: If not, he was staying in. And it was something else.
- 27:28Speaker 4: I mean, it was a total tell. Well, and this
- 27:30Speaker 4: is a tell here with Duffins.
- 27:31Speaker 6: Talking about but that's a Virginia educated player, University of Virginia.
- 27:35Speaker 6: So those guys pick up on those things. But those
- 27:38Speaker 6: little little nuggets make a difference in terms of your
- 27:41Speaker 6: awareness and your ability.
- 27:42Speaker 5: To make plays.
- 27:43Speaker 3: Duffy the best. Always a pleasure to have you. We'll
- 27:46Speaker 3: do it again next week. Appreciate it, Appreciate them.
- 27:48Speaker 5: Glad to be here with you again. Look forward to
- 27:50Speaker 5: it again.

- 28:17Speaker 2: Just if he was a receiver in general, he said,
- 28:19Speaker 2: this guy's a really good receiver, you know, and he's
- 28:22Speaker 2: a great back. So I think he's as good as
- 28:25Speaker 2: there is at that position in terms of catching the
- 28:27Speaker 2: wall at the backfield and presenting issues in the past game.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Yeah, he's special.
- 28:32Speaker 3: Anthony Campanelli, the Jaguars defensive coordinator earlier today, welcome back.
- 28:36Speaker 3: It is Jaguars Happy Hour from the Hyundai Studios of
- 28:38Speaker 3: the Miller Electric Center on ten ten XL ninety two
- 28:41Speaker 3: point five FM, Jaguars dot com and Jaguars YouTube. JP
- 28:44Speaker 3: Shadrick with Jeff logoman Our thanks to former Jags linebackers
- 28:49Speaker 3: coach Mark Dufner. Great insight each and every Thursday at
- 28:52Speaker 3: four o'clock right here on Jaguars Happy Hour. And that's
- 28:56Speaker 3: a coach's perspective. A guy who grinds through the film
- 28:59Speaker 3: even still and looks for everything and some kind of
- 29:03Speaker 3: angle can go a long way for a football team,
- 29:05Speaker 3: especially on defense.
- 29:07Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's amazing. You go back, you know,
- 29:11Speaker 4: a couple decades and the tips were found on film
- 29:16Speaker 4: and now with analytics essentially running probabilities and statistical analysis
- 29:22Speaker 4: of formations and everything else, I mean, that's become a
- 29:25Speaker 4: huge part of game planning. It's changed the way that
- 29:29Speaker 4: the games are called. And what Duff is talking about
- 29:32Speaker 4: about those little tips and things of that nature that
- 29:35Speaker 4: you can pick up. I mean, those things still exist
- 29:38Speaker 4: and if you can have those tips and then combine
- 29:41Speaker 4: that with the analytics. But you know, here's the I
- 29:44Speaker 4: think the thing you got to be cautious of is that, like,
- 29:47Speaker 4: as a coach, you want to give the players all
- 29:49Speaker 4: the best tools in the world, but the last thing
- 29:52Speaker 4: in the world you want to do is to completely
- 29:55Speaker 4: fill their mind to where they line up and they're
- 29:57Speaker 4: thinking so much they can't even play ball, you know.
- 30:00Speaker 4: So it's a it's kind of a fine line that
- 30:03Speaker 4: you got to walk with how much you share with
- 30:05Speaker 4: a player of all the information that you really have
- 30:07Speaker 4: as a coach, and a.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Lot of that too as players doing all that work
- 30:11Speaker 3: on their own in the in the film room, right,
- 30:13Speaker 3: I Mean, you find some of that stuff when you
- 30:15Speaker 3: dig deeper into the into the film.
- 30:16Speaker 4: Yeah, when you watch the film, a lot of that
- 30:18Speaker 4: is watching how the opponents, how they play, what their
- 30:22Speaker 4: strengths are, what their weaknesses are. You know, as a
- 30:27Speaker 4: as a defensive end, you might watch Trent Williams and say, okay,
- 30:30Speaker 4: what does he do with his hands as I'm approaching?
- 30:33Speaker 4: You know, how are his sets? You know, based on
- 30:35Speaker 4: his stance. I mean, you look at all those things
- 30:38Speaker 4: to help you give you the best plan of attack
- 30:41Speaker 4: of facing a guy like that, you know. And Josh
- 30:43Speaker 4: is you know, he's he was raised the right way
- 30:46Speaker 4: by Klayus Campbell, and he is a student of the game,
- 30:49Speaker 4: and and he'll be watching a ton of film on
- 30:51Speaker 4: Trent Williams. And also mckivtt's the right tackle time for
- 30:56Speaker 4: the Jaguars. Defensive coverage of the game presented by g

- 31:03Speaker 4: employees and retirees. And we focus this week, of course
- 31:06Speaker 4: on Christian McCaffrey. Why not, he's the number one.
- 31:10Speaker 3: Issue right now for the San Francisco offense for defenses
- 31:13Speaker 3: to cover. First round pick, of course, back in twenty
- 31:16Speaker 3: seventeen by the Panthers out of Stanford signed an extension
- 31:20Speaker 3: with the Panthers in twenty twenty that was traded over
- 31:23Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two to the forty nine Ers. Two
- 31:26Speaker 3: time first team All Pro and in two games against
- 31:29Speaker 3: the Jaguars two hundred and seventy one yards on thirty
- 31:32Speaker 3: five carries in two games, two touchdowns and over one
- 31:36Speaker 3: hundred through the air as well with a touchdown. He
- 31:38Speaker 3: had a really big game with Carolina back in twenty nineteen.
- 31:42Speaker 3: That's where the bulk of his numbers against the Jaguars
- 31:45Speaker 3: came from. So McCaffrey is leading the league in touches
- 31:48Speaker 3: seventy seven. That means fifty two carries and twenty five
- 31:51Speaker 3: receptions this year and the most touches in the first
- 31:54Speaker 3: three games in his career. That's a pretty remarkable start
- 31:58Speaker 3: for him. The question I have for you is House's sustainable?
- 32:00Speaker 3: Is that for San Francisco to keep feeding him and
- 32:04Speaker 3: seemingly only him The wide receiver has heads in play too,
- 32:08Speaker 3: and we've talked about it just a little bit with Duff.
- 32:12Speaker 3: What scares you the most about McCaffrey.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Well, first of all, the answer the first question is
- 32:16Speaker 4: it sustainable If you look at McCaffrey over the last
- 32:19Speaker 4: couple of years. Your answers, no, because he hasn't been
- 32:22Speaker 4: able to stay healthy. Seventy seven touches is a lot.
- 32:26Speaker 4: What the number that really jumps out out of all
- 32:29Speaker 4: those numbers is twenty five receptions. You know, you extrapolate
- 32:33Speaker 4: that out to a full season, you're talking one hundred
- 32:36Speaker 4: and forty one catches on the season, which would be
- 32:39Speaker 4: a new record, which would break the old record that
- 32:41Speaker 4: he had with the Carolina Panthers. Well, I think it
- 32:43Speaker 4: was like one hundred and nineteen back in twenty nineteen
- 32:46Speaker 4: or something like that, whenever it was. But I mean,
- 32:49Speaker 4: that's that's crazy. And what that tells you is is
- 32:52Speaker 4: that the quarterbacks are not comfortable throwing the ball to
- 32:55Speaker 4: the wide receivers. They're very happy just to dump it
- 32:58Speaker 4: down to the running back. So obviously he's going to
- 33:01Speaker 4: have to have a lot of attention in this ball
- 33:02Speaker 4: game unless the forty nine ers all of a sudden
- 33:05Speaker 4: get Jwan Jennings back. As he back, I don't know.
- 33:08Speaker 4: He missed last week with an ankle shoulder. Pierce All
- 33:11Speaker 4: was on the injury report, didn't practice yesterday with a
- 33:14Speaker 4: knee injury. It's gonna be interesting to see how all
- 33:17Speaker 4: of that plays out. But McCaffrey's going to be you know,
- 33:19Speaker 4: he's target number one for their whole offense, whether it's
- 33:23Speaker 4: run or pass. So that's going to be a huge
- 33:25Speaker 4: concentration for the Jaguars defense as a whole.
- 33:28Speaker 3: Yeah, another guy that has been an issue so far
- 33:32Speaker 3: for defenses, Ricky Pierce, saw the wide receiver who's had
- 33:35Speaker 3: some play early in this season. A lot of those
- 33:37Speaker 3: guys are out, you know, so he's been getting the
- 33:39Speaker 3: bulk of the the at least wide receiver receptions for
- 33:44Speaker 3: this football team.
- 33:45Speaker 4: And what's young player in the league. The crazy story
- 33:47Speaker 4: about him is remember last year and his rookie year,
- 33:50Speaker 4: he got shot in chest. I mean, how horrific is that?
- 33:58Speaker 4: But he came back to play and this year he's
- 34:01Speaker 4: i think third in the National Football League and yards receiving,
- 34:04Speaker 4: So he is he's kind of their number one target
- 34:07Speaker 4: right now. But the secret is is again is stopping
- 34:12Speaker 4: twenty three on the ground and taking advantage of the
- 34:16Speaker 4: inadequacies that the forty nine ers have with their offensive line,
- 34:20Speaker 4: particularly those two guards. Kalais Campbell was whooping up on
- 34:23Speaker 4: both of them last week in that game, and Kalays
- 34:26Speaker 4: Campbell has some very long teeth. He's been around a while.
- 34:30Speaker 4: It was a long long time he was crushing. In fact,
- 34:35Speaker 4: the play that gave them the lead on safety, he
- 34:39Speaker 4: got the pass rush over the rookie left guard for
- 34:42Speaker 4: the forty nine ers that led to the hold call
- 34:45Speaker 4: in the end zone, which is a safety. And clais
- 34:50Speaker 4: Is he's still a good player in times.
- 34:52Speaker 3: He did it against this team last year week one, right,
- 34:54Speaker 3: I mean two hours before the game, he's in handcuffs
- 34:57Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden he has the first
- 34:58Speaker 3: tangle for the loss. We ran a sack on back
- 35:01Speaker 3: to back place first drive.
- 35:02Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he's a good player, and uh, this is
- 35:05Speaker 4: his last year kind of returning home a little bit,
- 35:08Speaker 4: and his playtime has significantly dropped with the Arizona Cardinals.
- 35:14Speaker 4: But it di's great to see him and I hope
- 35:17Speaker 4: he has a great year. Yeah, of course, he was
- 35:20Speaker 4: great to see him on film last week. Yeah, last
- 35:22Speaker 4: week against San Francisco. We've got plenty ahead. We're gonna
- 35:26Speaker 4: come back in this moment and take a look at
- 35:28Speaker 4: the history in California for the Jaguars. Not good JP,
- 35:32Speaker 4: no cover your ears well pretty, but that's I do
- 35:35Speaker 4: know this. I do know this, good tream, good teams
- 35:39Speaker 4: travel well correct.
- 35:41Speaker 3: We'll dig into that when we come back. We got
- 35:43Speaker 3: the injury report as well. The Thursday edition not out
- 35:46Speaker 3: until about seven o'clock tonight due to the time differences
- 35:49Speaker 3: between the teams. That will take a look at yesterday's
- 35:52Speaker 3: and see what we can pull out of that as well.
- 35:54Speaker 3: And then at five o'clock it is Jags HQ. We'll
- 35:56Speaker 3: have Tony Vasselli and James Gladstone and studio with us
- 35:59Speaker 3: Live five. That's on the Jaguars Radio Network. If you

- 36:24Speaker 8: We've got to attack the ball more, I think, with
- 36:27Speaker 8: our hands instead of letting them maybe get into the
- 36:29Speaker 8: body at times. We always talk about not trying to
- 36:32Speaker 8: let the ball cross our eyes. So if it's an
- 36:35Speaker 8: inbreaker or even an outbreaker, trying not to let it
- 36:39Speaker 8: cross you this way at all. There's a difference between
- 36:42Speaker 8: the ball being you know, here and going and getting
- 36:45Speaker 8: it there. You know, that's just kind of the way
- 36:49Speaker 8: it's you know, that's how we're trying to coach it.
- 36:52Speaker 3: Liam Cohen trying to explain how to correct some of
- 36:55Speaker 3: the drops in the wide receiver core the last couple
- 36:59Speaker 3: of weeks. Welcome back, Jaguars Happy Hour, J P. Shadwick,
- 37:02Speaker 3: Jeff Logoman or thanks to Mark Duffner.
- 37:04Speaker 4: Earlier.
- 37:05Speaker 3: We're at the Hundai studios at the Miller Electric Center
- 37:08Speaker 3: ten toed Xcel ninety two point five FN. We're about
- 37:10Speaker 3: fifteen minutes away from Jags HQ. We'll have Bisselli and
- 37:14Speaker 3: James Gladstone in studio with us at least schedule to
- 37:17Speaker 3: join us at five o'clock on the Jaguars Radio Network
- 37:20Speaker 3: and we'll dig into all that has happened this week
- 37:25Speaker 3: for the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up shortly time now.
- 37:28Speaker 4: They let you know what.
- 37:29Speaker 3: We'll get to the injur report in a second. The
- 37:31Speaker 3: drop issue there Liam going on on the podium earlier
- 37:35Speaker 3: this week, you know, going through putting his hands up,
- 37:38Speaker 3: explaining some ideas behind it. I mean, are we overthinking it?
- 37:44Speaker 3: Just kind of catch the football? Right?
- 37:45Speaker 4: Is it that simple? Yeah? It's that simple. It's concentration,
- 37:49Speaker 4: it's tracking the ball with your eyes all the way
- 37:52Speaker 4: into the hands. And Liam brings up a good point
- 37:56Speaker 4: about not letting the ball kind of pass your body,
- 37:59Speaker 4: and that means essentially he's talking about attacking the ball,
- 38:03Speaker 4: going to get the ball instead of waiting for the ball.
- 38:06Speaker 4: You know when you're going to get it. What happens
- 38:08Speaker 4: a lot of times is that you're going to get it,
- 38:11Speaker 4: so your focus is on the ball, not making a
- 38:14Speaker 4: move yet, and so when you're when you're kind of
- 38:17Speaker 4: letting it come past you, a lot of times you're
- 38:19Speaker 4: turning your head and moving your head to see where
- 38:21Speaker 4: you're going to go after the catch. But you know
- 38:23Speaker 4: that's got to be fixed. I mean, you got too
- 38:26Speaker 4: many drops with his football team right now, and it's
- 38:29Speaker 4: impacting the offense overall. Brian needs to be obviously better.
- 38:35Speaker 4: Parker had a rough outing with a couple drops himself,
- 38:38Speaker 4: and Etn had one, which is on a swing pass,
- 38:41Speaker 4: which wasn't great. So I think there were six in
- 38:43Speaker 4: that game total. I'm not sure what the count is
- 38:45Speaker 4: on the year, but it's not pretty. You want to
- 38:48Speaker 4: make sure that that gets fixed. And today, you know
- 38:51Speaker 4: they had some guys staying on the jugs machine after
- 38:53Speaker 4: the after practice, throwing balls, you know, after the completion
- 38:57Speaker 4: of a play, just working the catches, you know. So
- 39:00Speaker 4: that's all you can do, is you just work the
- 39:02Speaker 4: process and practice and continue to get better at it
- 39:05Speaker 4: and find a way to concentrate better, keep your eyes
- 39:09Speaker 4: on the ball all the way. I mean, all those things.
- 39:11Speaker 4: I mean, it's a it's not a mystery as to
- 39:14Speaker 4: how you get better. You rep it, you get better
- 39:17Speaker 4: in practice. You make a concerted effort to improve on
- 39:20Speaker 4: it and to rep it. And then that's how you
- 39:22Speaker 4: get better. If you don't do all those things, you're
- 39:24Speaker 4: going to continue to do the same thing.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Yes, part of that is wide receivers dropping the football.
- 39:30Speaker 3: But Trevor Lawrence, as you referenced earlier, needs some better
- 39:34Speaker 3: overall play, consistent play. He has an interception now in
- 39:38Speaker 3: six straight games. It's the longest active streak in the
- 39:41Speaker 3: National Football League, and the passer ratings is right around seventy.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Back to the interception here for a minute before you
- 39:48Speaker 4: move on to a lot of numbers, because here's what happened.
- 39:53Speaker 4: If you go back and look at the sequence of
- 39:54Speaker 4: plays that led up to that, I think it was
- 39:56Speaker 4: like a drop drop interception. Okay, so now you get
- 40:00Speaker 4: a quarterback who has the drops and now he feels
- 40:04Speaker 4: like he's got to force something that wasn't there. Okay,
- 40:07Speaker 4: that's not what you want. Okay, you want to be
- 40:09Speaker 4: able to have a quarterback that's not feeling like he's
- 40:12Speaker 4: forcing the ball, you know. And here's the fact of
- 40:14Speaker 4: the matter too. The ball placement can always be better.
- 40:18Speaker 4: You want the ball placement to be the best it
- 40:20Speaker 4: possibly can be. And so I'm not saying that Trevor
- 40:23Speaker 4: is completely absolved of any responsibility, but the majority of
- 40:29Speaker 4: them are draw flat out drops. I mean, you just
- 40:30Speaker 4: gotta catch them. So everybody needs to be better on
- 40:35Speaker 4: that front. And again, you're gonna continue to get the
- 40:39Speaker 4: game plan that the Texans gave you. Every week. They're
- 40:44Speaker 4: gonna challenge your passing game because they're gonna load up
- 40:47Speaker 4: the box, stop the run, and say, Trevor Lawrence, try
- 40:51Speaker 4: to beat us. And that's true. When I say Trevor Lawrence,
- 40:54Speaker 4: that's Trevor Lawrence, the wide receivers, the pass protection, it's
- 40:58Speaker 4: the passing game overall. And so strap it up, you know.
- 41:02Speaker 4: Here forty nine ers are gonna let Robert solid Gus Bradley.
- 41:04Speaker 4: They're gonna load the box, load blocks the box, and
- 41:07Speaker 4: see if Trevor and the passing game can make enough
- 41:11Speaker 4: plays to back them off and out.
- 41:13Speaker 3: We'll see what happens with Jami Brown and his shoulder.
- 41:15Speaker 3: We'll get to the injury report coming up.
- 41:17Speaker 4: But he got folded by the way they did him.
- 41:22Speaker 4: Had a great hit. I mean he folded him probably
- 41:24Speaker 4: a classic separated shoulder because it was like one of
- 41:27Speaker 4: those tuck and fold like you know we used to
- 41:28Speaker 4: do on quarterbacks when it was legal, Yes, and us
- 41:33Speaker 4: legal to do that on a runner wide receiver.
- 41:35Speaker 3: If he's not available, is it more for Travis Hunter?
- 41:38Speaker 3: And how do you get him involved a little further
- 41:40Speaker 3: down the field or is that going to be in player?
- 41:42Speaker 4: Is he going to be a short catch and run guy.
- 41:44Speaker 4: I think you can involve him more. But part of
- 41:48Speaker 4: involving somebody else too is Parker Washington. He's got to
- 41:51Speaker 4: be able to take some of that responsibility. And it
- 41:54Speaker 4: makes sense he's kind of the next guy up. And
- 41:57Speaker 4: can you throw the ball more to Travis Hunt?
- 41:59Speaker 1: Sure?
- 42:00Speaker 4: Can you have him run deeper? Oute? Sure, he's got
- 42:03Speaker 4: to have more more than what he had target wise
- 42:07Speaker 4: this past week. But I will say this, I mean,
- 42:10Speaker 4: if I'm the quarterback, Travis has a pretty good catch
- 42:14Speaker 4: rate compared to Brian and compared to Parker after the
- 42:18Speaker 4: last week's game, I would probably feel comfortable to him.
- 42:22Speaker 4: But here's the guy that I think it's time for
- 42:24Speaker 4: a dominant game and I'm not saying a breakout game,
- 42:27Speaker 4: and that's Brenton Strange. I think this is a big
- 42:29Speaker 4: game for Brenton Strange to where he can have a
- 42:32Speaker 4: huge impact in this game. He's already having a huge
- 42:36Speaker 4: impact on the game on a day to day basis
- 42:39Speaker 4: in the running game and the passing game. He had
- 42:42Speaker 4: that one catch to where he had Kamari Lasser covered
- 42:45Speaker 4: him on a on essentially a deep out and it
- 42:48Speaker 4: was a great throw by Trevor, and Brenton continues to
- 42:52Speaker 4: show great run after catch and we're looking at one
- 42:55Speaker 4: play right there. We got whacked by three Texans defenders
- 42:58Speaker 4: and still kept his feet and got a few more
- 43:00Speaker 4: yards down the field. I mean, he's just he's the
- 43:03Speaker 4: closest thing to George Kittle that's in the league right now.
- 43:08Speaker 4: And there's a lot of people that say, oh, he's
- 43:11Speaker 4: not George. I'm not saying he's George Kittle. I'm just
- 43:13Speaker 4: saying that he's the closest thing to George Kittle that's
- 43:17Speaker 4: in this league today. What I mean by that, George
- 43:20Speaker 4: Kittle is an outstanding blocker and he's an excellent receiver
- 43:24Speaker 4: when he's playing. And this is that's the exact same
- 43:27Speaker 4: kind of player that Brenton Strange is excellent blocker and
- 43:31Speaker 4: an excellent receiver. And the more reps or the more
- 43:35Speaker 4: targets he gets, the more we're going to see out
- 43:38Speaker 4: of him, I think, and we're and there's going to
- 43:40Speaker 4: be more to love.
- 43:41Speaker 3: Let's take a look at the injury report presented by
- 43:44Speaker 3: uf Health, the proud healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 43:48Speaker 3: Due to the time zone differences, the official report does
- 43:51Speaker 3: not come out for Thursday until about seven o'clock or so,
- 43:55Speaker 3: so four o'clock Pacific Coast time.
- 43:58Speaker 4: But we'll go.
- 43:58Speaker 3: Through Wednesdays players that were out, and as you would imagine,
- 44:03Speaker 3: the forty nine ers have a long list four five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
- 44:09Speaker 3: fifteen players on the injury report this week. Not to
- 44:13Speaker 3: mention the guys on injured reserve and the pup list,
- 44:16Speaker 3: including Kittle and I mean Bosa is still on this list.
- 44:20Speaker 3: He's out for the season though with a knee issue.
- 44:22Speaker 3: We won't go through all of them. Juwan Jennings ankle
- 44:25Speaker 3: and shoulder issue. The wide receiver has not participated in
- 44:28Speaker 3: practice at least on Wednesday. Mac Jones with a knee
- 44:32Speaker 3: issue limited on Wednesday. McCaffrey was just resting, not a
- 44:36Speaker 3: big deal. Ricky Piersaw with a knee issue didn't practice.
- 44:39Speaker 3: The wide receiver who's had most of the wide receiver
- 44:41Speaker 3: production for them. So with the other guy's hurt, Ayuk
- 44:44Speaker 3: has been out. Piersaw didn't practice on Wednesday with a
- 44:48Speaker 3: knee injury, so that could be big. Trent Williams was resting.
- 44:52Speaker 3: Mikel Williams was full. He's fine. So there's a long
- 44:55Speaker 3: list here. For the forty nine ers, that's been the
- 44:57Speaker 3: story of the season, but they have overcome in one
- 45:00Speaker 3: football game. So now for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Diammy Brown
- 45:04Speaker 3: on Wednesday's shoulder injury, did not participate in practice. Ezra Cleveland,
- 45:09Speaker 3: a guard with an ankle issue limited. Mckerry, the guard
- 45:12Speaker 3: with an elbow issue limited Wyatt milem knee injury, limited
- 45:16Speaker 3: participation the guard as well, Brian Thomas Junior with a
- 45:19Speaker 3: wrist issue full participation Wednesday. Base shal Tooton running back
- 45:23Speaker 3: shoulder issue. Had the non contact jersey on at least
- 45:26Speaker 3: today in the open period when I saw him limited
- 45:29Speaker 3: participation on Wednesday. He did play last week. So that's
- 45:31Speaker 3: the Jaguars part of it. San Francisco with a much longer,
- 45:35Speaker 3: longer list. That's a long list for early in the season. Yeah,
- 45:38Speaker 3: it's real long.
- 45:39Speaker 4: By the way. The former Jaguar tight end Luke Farrell
- 45:45Speaker 4: is now the starting tight end for the forty nine
- 45:47Speaker 4: ers in place of George Kittle. He's no George Kittle. No,
- 45:51Speaker 4: he's not a blocking tight end, but he's a very
- 45:53Speaker 4: good blocking tight end. Loved him here. He did a
- 45:55Speaker 4: good job, kind of one of those inline blocking tight ends.
- 45:58Speaker 4: Good player. Pick.
- 46:00Speaker 3: You know else is on this team is the former
- 46:02Speaker 3: Jaguar Jordan Jefferson defensive tax.
- 46:04Speaker 4: Yeah, he hasn't been active yet in the game this season.
- 46:07Speaker 4: That's right. He's on the team though, And as if
- 46:11Speaker 4: you look at some of the former defensive tackles that
- 46:13Speaker 4: they were, you know the number that we kept last year.
- 46:15Speaker 4: I think it was ten because we were just so
- 46:18Speaker 4: deep and had quality death at that position. I don't
- 46:22Speaker 4: think one of them has had an impact anywhere else. Yeah,
- 46:25Speaker 4: just kind of a just saying yeah, just saying Robert Salo.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Of course, the defensive coordinator, former Jaguars assistant coach Gus
- 46:32Speaker 3: Bradley is on this staff as the assistant head coach
- 46:36Speaker 3: of defense, so that'll be an interesting And.
- 46:39Speaker 4: The special teams coordinator for the forty nine ers is
- 46:44Speaker 4: former Jaguar special team great Brent Boyer, who when he
- 46:49Speaker 4: left the Jaguars and for many years after that because
- 46:52Speaker 4: he played here from ninety five. He was here with
- 46:54Speaker 4: me and Tony and everybody else at the very inaugural year,
- 46:58Speaker 4: and then he played until two thousand and then he
- 47:00Speaker 4: was the leading special teams tackler for a long time
- 47:05Speaker 4: until montell Owens came along, and Bora was an excellent
- 47:09Speaker 4: special teams player. He was about five foot nine. I'm
- 47:12Speaker 4: just kidding. He was a little taller than that. We
- 47:15Speaker 4: used to joke with him about how tall he was.
- 47:17Speaker 4: But since twenty sixteen through last year, he was the
- 47:21Speaker 4: New York Jets special teams coordinator, very well respected. Coach
- 47:26Speaker 4: has always been a great guy and it's gonna be
- 47:28Speaker 4: good to see him.
- 47:29Speaker 3: Jaguars in California all time have not been good. Four
- 47:34Speaker 3: and eleven the all time record in the Golden State,
- 47:37Speaker 3: and they had some success in Oakland three and three
- 47:41Speaker 3: over the years. They got to win in twenty twenty
- 47:44Speaker 3: two in La ask the Chargers and beat the heck
- 47:48Speaker 3: out of the Chargers, and that game, of course beat
- 47:50Speaker 3: him in the playoff game later that year at home here.
- 47:52Speaker 3: But they have never won at the forty nine Ers
- 47:55Speaker 3: once a candlestick in two thousand and nine and then
- 47:58Speaker 3: lost in twenty seventeen late in the LEVI.
- 48:01Speaker 4: Everybody makes a big deal out of this West Coast thing. JP.
- 48:03Speaker 4: Pull up the Jaguars all time record, all time, all time.
- 48:08Speaker 4: Just give me the Jaguars all time record. Okay, I'll
- 48:11Speaker 4: look it up. Okay. And I'm not talking about all
- 48:14Speaker 4: time on the road record. I'm talking about Jaguars all time.
- 48:18Speaker 4: You can actually break it down in Jaguars All Time
- 48:20Speaker 4: record ready and Jaguars Road record. How about that.
- 48:23Speaker 3: All time record two four and two eighty three, two
- 48:27Speaker 3: four up eighty You got a road record for me.
- 48:29Speaker 4: I'm looking through it. I'd love to know what that
- 48:31Speaker 4: one is. That's great, okay, wow, because I guarantee you
- 48:34Speaker 4: it mirrors what what the road record is in California.
- 48:38Speaker 4: Because here here's the reality while you're looking for those numbers.
- 48:42Speaker 4: Good teams travel well. Bad teams don't travel well.
- 48:48Speaker 3: All time regular season road record eighty wins, one sixty
- 48:51Speaker 3: three losses.
- 48:52Speaker 4: Okay, so you've lost twice as many as you've won.
- 48:55Speaker 4: What's what's the California record? Four and eleven? Okay, it's
- 48:58Speaker 4: about the same. It's so it's California doesn't have this
- 49:04Speaker 4: something in the air that makes teams lose by traveling
- 49:07Speaker 4: to this couse smog, especially in La No, they got
- 49:11Speaker 4: a great sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean. But my
- 49:14Speaker 4: point is is that good teams travel well, bad teams
- 49:17Speaker 4: travel poorly, and the Jaguars have not been great historically yet.
- 49:23Speaker 4: And so here's an opportunity, just like last week, of
- 49:27Speaker 4: changing the narrative in the AFC South. Here's a chance
- 49:31Speaker 4: to change part of the direction of the franchise and
- 49:35Speaker 4: start winning on the road, because you're gonna have to
- 49:37Speaker 4: find a way to win some road games to be
- 49:40Speaker 4: able to stack enough wins to win the division and
- 49:42Speaker 4: qualify for the for the playoffs.
- 49:44Speaker 3: That's Jeff Logiman. I'm JP Shatterger. Thanks to former Jags
- 49:47Speaker 3: linebackers coach Mark Dufner, is winning us each and every
