0:02
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, November three. This is Jaguars Happy Hour
0:11
Speaker 1: and now spending the entire plane right home from London
0:14
Speaker 1: into back doing high knees Jay pe chad Rick and
0:21
Speaker 1: magically all my pain is gone. Welcome in. It's Jaguars
0:24
Speaker 1: Happy Hour and is Thursday. It is week nine. I
0:28
Speaker 1: am J P. Shadrick. Let's take a look at what's
0:31
Speaker 1: coming up on the next two hours. Ahead of busy
0:34
Speaker 1: couple of hours. Analyst Jeff Logoman is standing by to
0:37
Speaker 1: discuss this Raiders Jaguar's matchup coming up at the Bank
0:41
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The Jack's trying to snap a five game skid.
0:45
Speaker 1: It's now two and six the overall record. The Raiders
0:48
Speaker 1: are at two and five. They've split their last four games.
0:53
Speaker 1: They were shut out last week. We'll get into all
0:55
Speaker 1: that coming up. Then at five o'clock we'll hear from
0:57
Speaker 1: the head coach, Doug Peterson joining us. We'll get his
0:59
Speaker 1: the sudden this matchup coming back home, coming off the
1:02
Speaker 1: London trip. Well, the Jags are back from London, trying
1:05
Speaker 1: to snap that skin. A lot of the same issues
1:08
Speaker 1: week to week. It feels like you're popping up, especially
1:11
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Especially on golded goal situation, certainly
1:16
Speaker 1: on first and goal at the one, and Trevor Lawrence
1:19
Speaker 1: is learning as it goes that point in the game.
1:23
Speaker 1: You know, we're up, we're up seven zero, and you
1:26
Speaker 1: just you think about how would that change the game
1:28
Speaker 1: if we end up scoring on that drive and make
1:29
Speaker 1: it fourteen zero and really kind of take the life
1:32
Speaker 1: out of their sideline and and and kind of keep
1:35
Speaker 1: all the momentum. Um. I think that's the most frustrating
1:38
Speaker 1: thing when you look back on and just how the
1:39
Speaker 1: game changes. But playing this position, playing I mean, just
1:42
Speaker 1: playing the sport, it's all about the next place. So
1:45
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's something I've had to learn
1:48
Speaker 1: in my career, is how to move on to the
1:49
Speaker 1: next play. Like you're gonna have some bad plays, and
1:50
Speaker 1: obviously that one is just you know, that one's that
1:52
Speaker 1: one's unacceptable, just the situation. You gotta we gotta eliminate those.
1:56
Speaker 1: So I'm obviously learning my lessons there and moving We're
2:00
Speaker 1: not gonna make that mistake and um, So it's frustrating,
2:02
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you got, hey, that was
2:05
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, so you got you got three
2:07
Speaker 1: more quarters to play. Um, And you can't. You gotta
2:10
Speaker 1: do your best to not let that affect the rest
2:12
Speaker 1: of the game. That was a moment that really turned
2:15
Speaker 1: the early part of that game in London. Jaguars loss,
2:18
Speaker 1: of course, to the Denver Broncos. Press Taylor as the
2:20
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and earlier today discussed the play of Travis E.
2:24
Speaker 1: T n Jr. He is on a roll right now
2:27
Speaker 1: on the ground a hundred and fifty six under the
2:30
Speaker 1: arch at Wimbley last week. We're fortunate to be able
2:33
Speaker 1: to continue to run the ball, and obviously Travis is
2:37
Speaker 1: benefiting from the offensive line, the receivers of Titians doing
2:40
Speaker 1: their job as well, Trevor getting us in the right place.
2:42
Speaker 1: Coach continuing to stick through some runs and keeping ourselves
2:45
Speaker 1: unfavorable situations where you can still run the ball. Um.
2:48
Speaker 1: So yeah, that certainly builds confidence every time you see
2:51
Speaker 1: Travis produces a younger player. Unknown what kind of production
2:55
Speaker 1: he'll have at this level, but you know, so far,
2:58
Speaker 1: so good, and we just want to continue to keep
2:59
Speaker 1: him on that at the growing as as the total
3:02
Speaker 1: complete Back now to the defensive side, the Jaguars had
3:06
Speaker 1: the lead in the fourth quarter and then the Broncos
3:08
Speaker 1: went on a game winning touchdown drive. That drive started
3:11
Speaker 1: on a big pass play from Russell Wilson to a
3:15
Speaker 1: j Hamler on the opening play of that drive. Well,
3:18
Speaker 1: Mike Caldwell, the defensive coordinator this week, asked if Darius
3:21
Speaker 1: Williams would go outside or Tray Herndon inside. That's the plan,
3:26
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, other than one play last week, you
3:29
Speaker 1: didn't hear Trey's name, and we go to it and
3:33
Speaker 1: he played some really good plays, just like we all did.
3:36
Speaker 1: And one place stands out, but you know, his heads up,
3:41
Speaker 1: he's confident, We're confident in him, and he's gonna go
3:43
Speaker 1: back out there this weekend continue to play. He said,
3:46
Speaker 1: it is status quo. They're not going to change. They'll
3:49
Speaker 1: keep Tray outside and Williams inside at the cornerback position.
3:53
Speaker 1: And now the Las Vegas Raiders are on deck for
3:55
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Yes, they were shut out last week, but yes,
3:59
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson stands that a team can get back on
4:02
Speaker 1: track in a hurry. We had a game just like
4:05
Speaker 1: that this season where where we held a held a
4:08
Speaker 1: team to zero and then you know, next thing you know,
4:11
Speaker 1: they're over thirty points. The next next time we play them,
4:13
Speaker 1: so each week is different, and each game plan is different,
4:17
Speaker 1: and the set of circumstances are different, and you you
4:21
Speaker 1: put the past in the past and you focus focus
4:24
Speaker 1: on the current. So UM, I would expect a different
4:27
Speaker 1: you know, radar team this weekend. Are you're having all
4:30
Speaker 1: the press conferences and media availabilities on Jaguars dot com
4:34
Speaker 1: right now or the Jaguars social media channels Twitter, Facebook,
4:38
Speaker 1: and YouTube more with head coach Doug Peterson coming up
4:40
Speaker 1: at five o'clock on the Doug Peterson Show on the
4:42
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Jeff Lockerman is on that program, and
4:47
Speaker 1: he's on this one now. Jaguars Happy Hour is always
4:49
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. Good afternoon to you, Good afternoon. Here
4:53
Speaker 1: we are week nine, almost evening. Yeah, but it's not yet.
4:57
Speaker 1: It's four flo it's kind of right there between. You know,
5:00
Speaker 1: it is the border. You could go either way. What
5:02
Speaker 1: is the dividing line of that seven five o'clock, five
5:05
Speaker 1: o'clock you would be officially in the evening, but at
5:07
Speaker 1: four o'clock you could go either way. But primetime is
5:10
Speaker 1: eight o'clock. And I can tell you this, it's what
5:13
Speaker 1: time it is. It's happy out, it is j where's
5:15
Speaker 1: the drinks we need? We might need someone a five
5:18
Speaker 1: game losing skin after that game, yikes. Um So, a
5:23
Speaker 1: couple of interceptions from the quarterback that's been the big
5:26
Speaker 1: talking point this week, of course, and a first and
5:29
Speaker 1: goal at the one we saw it against the Texans,
5:31
Speaker 1: and a second I think in goal situation in that
5:33
Speaker 1: game and now first in goal that way, you just
5:37
Speaker 1: can't make. That's the play that I'm talking about. I
5:39
Speaker 1: might need a drink. You know, you you made a
5:43
Speaker 1: mistake earlier in the year against the Houston Texans and
5:48
Speaker 1: you just you just can't make that throw on a
5:50
Speaker 1: first and goal from the one. And I think the
5:52
Speaker 1: other disappointing aspect was that after the game, Trevor was
5:57
Speaker 1: asked about that play and he said he didn't necessarily
5:59
Speaker 1: think it was a bad decision. It was a bad throw. No, no,
6:03
Speaker 1: it's a it's a bad throw and it's a bad decision.
6:06
Speaker 1: Both of them were bad, and I'm sure that he
6:08
Speaker 1: realized that. And the disappointing thing is that that play
6:13
Speaker 1: affected the performance for him for the rest of the game,
6:17
Speaker 1: in my opinion, because you there, I thought that that
6:23
Speaker 1: was his worst game as a pro. The reason I
6:26
Speaker 1: say that is that if you go look look at
6:28
Speaker 1: a passer rating, and you could argue that the Philly
6:30
Speaker 1: game was worse just because the giveaways. Okay, but as
6:34
Speaker 1: a passer, I thought that was the worst game. And
6:37
Speaker 1: the reason I say that there were about eight instances
6:40
Speaker 1: in that ball game that he had either inaccuracies or
6:43
Speaker 1: he had options that were open that he didn't see
6:46
Speaker 1: which when he had time to find it, or that
6:49
Speaker 1: they were just poor decisions made like the interception. The
6:52
Speaker 1: interception that happened early in the ball game, and also
6:55
Speaker 1: the interception that happened later and again, yeah, so that
6:59
Speaker 1: one was the second one was inaccurate and also a
7:02
Speaker 1: poor decision because he had a cross round underneath A
7:05
Speaker 1: Jones for an easy completion to to get the chains
7:08
Speaker 1: moving on the first play. And I and I and
7:12
Speaker 1: the reason that bothered me that game more than other
7:15
Speaker 1: ones is that he had a really strong running game
7:19
Speaker 1: and the offensive line was playing very well. So if
7:22
Speaker 1: there was ever a game to bounce back from a mistake,
7:25
Speaker 1: to not have one mistake effect the rest of your game,
7:28
Speaker 1: this was the game. Okay, Travis c t N has
7:32
Speaker 1: just lightened up. The offensive line is doing a really
7:35
Speaker 1: good job against a very talented Broncos defense. You've got
7:39
Speaker 1: open guys that you could couldn't take advantage of. And
7:43
Speaker 1: how he bounces back after this game, I think it's
7:46
Speaker 1: gonna be very tellent because you're looking at now so
7:50
Speaker 1: far this season, three not very good poor games, if
7:54
Speaker 1: you want to call him that, three poor games this
7:56
Speaker 1: year that he has not helped this team win. He
8:00
Speaker 1: has been a more of a bigger reason for why
8:02
Speaker 1: they've lost. That needs to change. He's got to change
8:06
Speaker 1: the direction. And that's why I've said this before. It's
8:09
Speaker 1: the hardest position to play in all of sports, and
8:12
Speaker 1: it takes a physical toughness and it takes most importantly
8:16
Speaker 1: a mental toughness to play that position. Because it is hard,
8:21
Speaker 1: it has growing pains that you've got to be able
8:23
Speaker 1: to withstand. And this is a great test for him
8:26
Speaker 1: to be able to weather this storm and to fight
8:28
Speaker 1: through it and to learn from it. He's got to
8:31
Speaker 1: learn from it JP because he didn't learn in Houston,
8:34
Speaker 1: or out of Houston, or against Houston at home. I'm
8:37
Speaker 1: going to guess and that this is the longest stretch
8:41
Speaker 1: of like this in his entire football life. From high
8:45
Speaker 1: school to college. Certainly now in the pros, you know,
8:48
Speaker 1: five games, skid, all the turnovers, everything to go with it. Uh,
8:52
Speaker 1: they didn't play a lot of close games at Clemson.
8:54
Speaker 1: They were winning a lot of those big and so
8:57
Speaker 1: being in tight games late it's all relatively new to it. Well,
9:01
Speaker 1: the reality is is that this is a much different
9:04
Speaker 1: game than college. If it were the same game there was,
9:06
Speaker 1: there would be a lot of Heisman winners that would
9:09
Speaker 1: move on that had moved on to the pros that
9:11
Speaker 1: would have had much better professional careers. It's just it's
9:15
Speaker 1: a different game. It the windows are smaller, the accuracy
9:19
Speaker 1: the meant the mental acuity that's required to play in
9:22
Speaker 1: the NFL is so much higher compared to college football
9:27
Speaker 1: and definitely more than the high school football because you've
9:30
Speaker 1: got to make good decisions, you know, the the awareness
9:34
Speaker 1: when you're first and going out and I know it's
9:36
Speaker 1: kind of beating up that play, but you've got to
9:38
Speaker 1: use that as an example because it's shining first and
9:41
Speaker 1: goal from a one. You can't risk anything, and on
9:46
Speaker 1: that particular play, it's essentially it's a rollout, speed out.
9:51
Speaker 1: He's running out fast, he's got Christian Kirk a real
9:54
Speaker 1: quick out route, little speed out hits it, and then
9:58
Speaker 1: maybe the other option is to run it if for
10:00
Speaker 1: some crazy reason they've abandoned the end zone, which you're
10:04
Speaker 1: not going to get that. But then the next option
10:06
Speaker 1: throw it away. Throw it away because you're first and
10:08
Speaker 1: goal at the one. And as a coach, a lot
10:11
Speaker 1: of people want to criticize the call. I don't have
10:13
Speaker 1: a problem with the call. The reason I don't have
10:16
Speaker 1: a problem with the call is you've got to be
10:18
Speaker 1: able to trust your quarterback that that is either a
10:20
Speaker 1: hit for a touchdown or it's thrown away. As a
10:24
Speaker 1: as a as a play caller, you can't sit there
10:27
Speaker 1: and go, well, I can't call that because we might
10:30
Speaker 1: throw an interception there, because that's not an option there.
10:33
Speaker 1: You want to play action passed on first and goal
10:36
Speaker 1: from the one. And I'm not trying to say that
10:38
Speaker 1: analytics is king, but I mean it's It has a
10:40
Speaker 1: pretty high success rate and and you don't make decisions
10:44
Speaker 1: based solely on that. But the reality is sometimes you'll
10:47
Speaker 1: be able to have to be able to catch a
10:48
Speaker 1: team off guard, and that's a that's a good play.
10:51
Speaker 1: It's worked for a long period of time in the
10:53
Speaker 1: National Football League, and you just can't make that throw,
10:56
Speaker 1: and then you have to be able to say I
10:59
Speaker 1: can't make that role after the game. Now the positive
11:03
Speaker 1: part of it, And you mentioned Travis et and Jr.
11:05
Speaker 1: We heard from Press Taylor, the offensive coordinator, talking about
11:09
Speaker 1: his play so far. And he is on a roll now.
11:13
Speaker 1: Three D fifty six rushing yards and his first three
11:15
Speaker 1: NFL starts, that's the last three weeks combined. It's the
11:19
Speaker 1: most through their first three career starts for any running
11:22
Speaker 1: back in Jaguar's history, more than Fred, more than Maurice.
11:26
Speaker 1: And Travis is really starting to heat up. And you know,
11:30
Speaker 1: it just looked like he was running with a different aggression,
11:35
Speaker 1: a different style between the tackles pads had, you had
11:39
Speaker 1: more power the and and he's calming down, is what's happening.
11:44
Speaker 1: We actually talked about this a few weeks ago that
11:46
Speaker 1: sometimes it almost looks like he was he was running
11:49
Speaker 1: out of control, getting a little bit more weight forward
11:54
Speaker 1: than he needed to, so when somebody touched the leg,
11:57
Speaker 1: he would get tripped up. And he's running more under
12:01
Speaker 1: control now, more confident, He's not trying to press so much. Oh,
12:05
Speaker 1: I gotta make this play. He's just running natural now,
12:09
Speaker 1: and running natural means for him that he's seeing the holes,
12:13
Speaker 1: and he hits a hole so fast that the lineman
12:17
Speaker 1: a lot of times don't have to hold their blocks
12:20
Speaker 1: but for an instant to allow him to get through.
12:24
Speaker 1: And because he's not running with so much weight forward
12:27
Speaker 1: now that when he does get something taggled up around
12:31
Speaker 1: his legs, he's still maintaining his balance and then keeping
12:34
Speaker 1: the leg drive and making some nice games after contact
12:38
Speaker 1: more so than I think that he's done, particularly in
12:41
Speaker 1: the first couple of games of the season, and he's
12:43
Speaker 1: been impressive. He's a he's a stud. Just want to,
12:46
Speaker 1: you know, keep them healthy and make sure that that
12:49
Speaker 1: he's available for every game this year because I think
12:52
Speaker 1: running back depth is is a little bit of a
12:54
Speaker 1: question mark. And hang on to the football for goodness sake. Yeah,
12:57
Speaker 1: you can't fumble it like he did against the Giants
12:59
Speaker 1: at the five going in and he knows that he's
13:01
Speaker 1: sent it. In the locker room today, he's been working
13:03
Speaker 1: on that well. And I think that's also that goes
13:05
Speaker 1: back to your trying to run too hard, you know,
13:08
Speaker 1: and and trying to do so much real fast and
13:11
Speaker 1: you're you're pushing a little bit because you know you
13:13
Speaker 1: want to do good, and you know it's early in
13:15
Speaker 1: his career. And the more confidence, the more experience he gains,
13:20
Speaker 1: I think, the less we'll see of that type of thing.
13:22
Speaker 1: But he has a joy to watch, and I just
13:26
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what's next with him, because I mean,
13:28
Speaker 1: what three consecutive games of a Russian over forty yards
13:32
Speaker 1: and we haven't even wait till we see him get
13:35
Speaker 1: out on a screenplay to where he gets a little
13:37
Speaker 1: bit of space and then all of a sudden zoom
13:39
Speaker 1: off he goes. I can't wait. It's gonna be fun
13:42
Speaker 1: to watch. For sure. We've got plenty ahead on Jaguar's
13:45
Speaker 1: happy Hour. We'll turn and get into the defense, especially
13:49
Speaker 1: in the final three or four minutes of that game
13:52
Speaker 1: last week at Wimbley and how they hold on to
13:57
Speaker 1: a four quarter lead. That that's another conversation to have,
14:01
Speaker 1: right well, we're about to have it when we come back.
14:04
Speaker 1: And of course the a second hour coming up at
14:06
Speaker 1: five o'clock. It's the Doug Peterson Show. We'll hear from
14:09

14:39
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, and it's week nine. I'm J. P.
14:42
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Logoman coming up at five o'clock the
14:45
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show, the Jaguars head coach joining us. We'll
14:49
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on, we'll clean up what happened in
14:52
Speaker 1: London and then we'll look forward to the Raiders Jaguars
14:56
Speaker 1: matchup coming up in week number nine. That's just the
14:59
Speaker 1: Sunday a clock kickoff time at the bank. Alright, So
15:02
Speaker 1: five games skinned for the Jaguars, and in many of
15:06
Speaker 1: these losses the Jaguars have lost fourth quarter leads. The
15:10
Speaker 1: defense this past week when it mattered. On the opening
15:15
Speaker 1: play when the Jaguars had just taken the league, gave
15:17
Speaker 1: up a long pass from Russell Wilson to kJ Hamler
15:21
Speaker 1: over Trey Herndon and set him up in Jaguars territory
15:25
Speaker 1: and with plenty of time remaining, but then the Jaguars
15:28
Speaker 1: got him to third down. At one point it was
15:30
Speaker 1: third and five, and then Russell Wilson escapes with his
15:33
Speaker 1: legs and gets the first down at the two minute
15:36
Speaker 1: warning and keeps the sticks moving and a few plays
15:39
Speaker 1: later they punch it into the end zone for the
15:41
Speaker 1: go ahead and what proved to be the game winning touchdown.
15:43
Speaker 1: But another moment late in the game where the defense
15:47
Speaker 1: either gives up a big pass like they did Nindy
15:50
Speaker 1: for the game winning touchdown there, or can't stop to
15:53
Speaker 1: run against the Giants in the four minute drill and
15:56
Speaker 1: get off the field there, and they could have done
15:58
Speaker 1: that another pass basically if we had are We've seen
16:03
Speaker 1: four consecutive games where the defense, if they just rise
16:06
Speaker 1: up and make a play, then they have a chance
16:09
Speaker 1: at winning or they do win. Okay, and this past
16:14
Speaker 1: game in London was very similar. But I give him
16:17
Speaker 1: credit because the offense was just struggling for a long
16:23
Speaker 1: while in the second half. You know, they come out
16:26
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I wrote some notes down here.
16:29
Speaker 1: You come out, you gotta eight play drive, but you
16:31
Speaker 1: gotta punt it, and you punt it again, you punt
16:34
Speaker 1: it again, you punt it again. Right, So finally you're
16:39
Speaker 1: able to put together a drive which is the go
16:41
Speaker 1: ahead score of the ball game. You're up sevent fourteen.
16:43
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why they were able to
16:45
Speaker 1: get this go ahead score is because the defense did
16:48
Speaker 1: a great job against the Denver offense to where they
16:51
Speaker 1: forced them the two consecutive three and ounced before they
16:54
Speaker 1: ended up taking over and taking that in for a score.
16:57
Speaker 1: So I mean, that's a good job, okay. But now
16:59
Speaker 1: once you've out in the lead, now you have to
17:02
Speaker 1: close the game out. Somebody has to make a play.
17:06
Speaker 1: And the very first play you had the long completion
17:09
Speaker 1: of kJ Hamler over Trey Herndon and and we heard
17:13
Speaker 1: Mike called well talk about how well Trey Hernon had
17:15
Speaker 1: played all game. And it only gives up the one play,
17:18
Speaker 1: but it's a big play, okay. And I would kind
17:26
Speaker 1: of question is do you want to have Trey Herndon
17:28
Speaker 1: and press coverage at that moment in the game. Um,
17:34
Speaker 1: And that's that. You can debate that, and we could
17:37
Speaker 1: argue that, you know a million different ways, but the
17:41
Speaker 1: week before you saw Trey Hernon get beat on another
17:45
Speaker 1: go route, and I would have loved to have seen
17:48
Speaker 1: Trey Hernon playing and off coverage in that situation instead
17:52
Speaker 1: of press, especially with the wide receiver being off the ball,
17:56
Speaker 1: because it's hard to get a jam or to disrupt
17:58
Speaker 1: a route when a wider seever, essentially has about a
18:01
Speaker 1: two and a half yard window to evade any kind
18:04
Speaker 1: of disruption or a jam in the route off the
18:07
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And then if you whiff on him,
18:09
Speaker 1: he's got four or three speed, and he's got he's
18:11
Speaker 1: got momentum, and kJ Hamler, like you said, it's a
18:14
Speaker 1: fast guy. So that was disappointing. The third and five
18:18
Speaker 1: where Josh Allen sticks his nose underneath inside the tackle, who,
18:23
Speaker 1: by the way, was third string third third, third string guy,
18:28
Speaker 1: have an opportunity there to to beat him. He dips
18:30
Speaker 1: underneath and Russell Wilson goes for an easy first down.
18:36
Speaker 1: You just can't have that, and you gotta have a
18:38
Speaker 1: balanced approach, especially on a guy that has mobility. There's
18:43
Speaker 1: there's historical mobility with Russell Wilson that you know going
18:47
Speaker 1: to that game knowing, I don't care if he's coming
18:49
Speaker 1: off of a hamstring I don't care if he's coming
18:52
Speaker 1: off of a shoulder. It's Russell Wilson. He was the
18:55
Speaker 1: one doing your exercises on the plane ride over to London.
18:59
Speaker 1: You knew he was gonna be fine. But but yeah,
19:03
Speaker 1: I mean that that part is disappointing and it was
19:06
Speaker 1: good to see that they got to take away great
19:08
Speaker 1: play by Tyson Campbell. Excellent play that led to the
19:11
Speaker 1: first points of the game for a guy who in
19:14
Speaker 1: the past has had some issues with balls like that
19:16
Speaker 1: up in the air and you know, finding it and
19:18
Speaker 1: the whole deal. But this was different and that this
19:21
Speaker 1: was a zone coverage. This is what he does best.
19:23
Speaker 1: Tyson plays best when he has his eyes back to
19:27
Speaker 1: the quarterback and that was a cover two. And we
19:30
Speaker 1: actually are gonna draw this play up. It will be
19:33
Speaker 1: on YouTube. I think later in the week. It might
19:35
Speaker 1: be on YouTube available now in the Jaguars channel. Well,
19:38
Speaker 1: I went to the film room with the Shay Towns
19:42
Speaker 1: and the defensive backs coach and we drew this play up.
19:44
Speaker 1: He drew this play up and talked about it and
19:46
Speaker 1: it did a great job of explaining and and I'll
19:49
Speaker 1: explain it to people here. You know, when you have
19:51
Speaker 1: a Cover two corner. The first job of the corner
19:54
Speaker 1: is to get in the face of the wide receiver
19:55
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage to try to disrupt the
19:57
Speaker 1: route because you don't want to get two guys eyes
20:00
Speaker 1: on the same level at the safety because then he
20:02
Speaker 1: has to make a choice which guy do I cover.
20:05
Speaker 1: So Tyson does a great job of getting his arms out,
20:08
Speaker 1: but he kind of misses the jam, but it disrupts
20:11
Speaker 1: the route just a enough. Then he asked to turn
20:13
Speaker 1: his eyes to the inside because if it's a run play,
20:16
Speaker 1: he's got to be able to come up and support
20:17
Speaker 1: on the outside. Because Cover two is a seven man front,
20:20
Speaker 1: you get the eighth guy by a corner and run support. Well,
20:24
Speaker 1: he does a good job of taking a peek and
20:25
Speaker 1: it's not there, so then he starts to fall off
20:28
Speaker 1: underneath of Courtland Sutton, a wide receiver realizes there's nobody
20:33
Speaker 1: underneath of him that would make him check up. He
20:36
Speaker 1: continues to gain depth at the whole time, JP with
20:40
Speaker 1: his eyes back to the quarterback and high points the
20:43
Speaker 1: ball underneath of Courtland Sutton. Magnificent play and it's his
20:47
Speaker 1: fourth career in inception, second of the year. Good job
20:50
Speaker 1: by by Tyson. He's playing well. And it was interesting.
20:54
Speaker 1: And I'll bring this up because we had Rasheine Mathis
20:56
Speaker 1: on the show last week on Jaguars All Access and
21:00
Speaker 1: you you mentioned I've talked about it before how sometimes
21:03
Speaker 1: he has Tyson has a hard time when he's trying
21:06
Speaker 1: to figure out do I turn around and look for
21:08
Speaker 1: the ball, the timing of of of when to do that.
21:12
Speaker 1: And I asked Rachine about that, and I said, you know, how,
21:14
Speaker 1: how does a a young defensive back take that next
21:18
Speaker 1: step in that category? And he said, look, he said,
21:22
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys that just have that ability.
21:25
Speaker 1: It's just they're born with it, and he goes, but
21:28
Speaker 1: some guys do have the ability to train their eyes,
21:31
Speaker 1: to train their timing and to learn to get better.
21:35
Speaker 1: And so I was encouraged by what Rachine said because
21:39
Speaker 1: he given me the belief that Tyson is going to
21:41
Speaker 1: continue to get better. And we're talking about a player
21:44
Speaker 1: who was alway already a very good football player, one
21:47
Speaker 1: of the top corners according a Pro Football Focus ranking wise,
21:50
Speaker 1: I think he's top five. That's pretty good. So but nice,
21:55
Speaker 1: nice played by him. So check out the YouTube channel
22:00
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars and check out going into the film
22:02
Speaker 1: room with the Shay Towns and the Jaguars cornerbacks coach.
22:05
Speaker 1: That leads us to this week's matchup against the Raiders offense.
22:08
Speaker 1: Dere at car ninth your quarterback and Davante Adams at
22:12
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I think he had one catch last week.
22:15
Speaker 1: He's not the type that wants to have one catch
22:17
Speaker 1: back to back weeks. Um, what's the matchup like this week?
22:21
Speaker 1: And how do you defend Davante? Well, he's gonna make
22:26
Speaker 1: catches on you, just because he's so good at making
22:28
Speaker 1: contested catches. He doesn't have elite speed as a wide receiver,
22:32
Speaker 1: but he's got good speed. Last week, he's gonna be
22:36
Speaker 1: a little angry because he was open and the quarterback
22:38
Speaker 1: didn't play very well at all. I thought Derek Carr
22:40
Speaker 1: played poorly in that game against New Orleans. And Davante
22:43
Speaker 1: Adams is a really good football player. He's one of
22:46
Speaker 1: I think five guys that have UH And I wrote
22:50
Speaker 1: this numbers down and I'm sure it with the JP
22:52
Speaker 1: which I'm sure you're aware of this, but this is
22:54
Speaker 1: for the folks out there. There's only been five guys
22:56
Speaker 1: in the history of the National Football League that have
22:58
Speaker 1: had seven plus which is and seventy five plus touchdowns
23:02
Speaker 1: in nine seasons. Wow, okay, there's only been five. Here
23:07
Speaker 1: are the five Jerry Rice first guest Hall of Famer,
23:13
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Hall of Famer, Calvin Johnson Hall of Famer,
23:19
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald future Hall of Fame, and Davante Adams about
23:26
Speaker 1: that and and he's not even midway through his ninth season.
23:32
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's impressive now, But is he having
23:36
Speaker 1: the years a year like he's had in past years
23:39
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers If you look at the numbers are
23:42
Speaker 1: a little off, a little off. So it's badly as
23:45
Speaker 1: he wanted to go back and play with his college teammate.
23:49
Speaker 1: The grass isn't always greener on the other side, which
23:52
Speaker 1: are pretty close to Christian Kirk's this year, are they?
23:56
Speaker 1: I mean, do you compare them to Davante Adams of
23:58
Speaker 1: the past couple of years I'm talking about I'm talking
24:00
Speaker 1: about this season. I mean, consider the money that went
24:04
Speaker 1: back for both of those guys and and what they're
24:06
Speaker 1: getting out of it. Well, Davonte Adams, I mean they
24:09
Speaker 1: ended up the Raiders gave up this year's first and
24:11
Speaker 1: second round picks on what the first was the twenty
24:14
Speaker 1: second overall and then the second round pick was the
24:18
Speaker 1: fifty three overall. So that's a pretty steep price to pay.
24:23
Speaker 1: But it seems like everybody's willing to pay that for
24:25
Speaker 1: wide receivers these days, right yeah, because you know what
24:30
Speaker 1: some for Calvin Ridley, Right well, we know what we
24:32
Speaker 1: know very well, Yeah, how that works. Just to clarify
24:37
Speaker 1: that note here on the wide receivers, Christian Kirk is
24:41
Speaker 1: off to a really at least statistical start. He's got
24:45
Speaker 1: four receiving yards so far this year thirty five receptions,
24:50
Speaker 1: which is not at the very top of the league,
24:53
Speaker 1: but um, that's at least a good start for him.
24:56
Speaker 1: And yet and then on the other side, I got
25:00
Speaker 1: Adams targets, thirty eight catches. I mean it's pretty close. Yeah.
25:05
Speaker 1: The the interesting thing is that Davante Adams, if you
25:08
Speaker 1: look at at his his history of targets and catches,
25:14
Speaker 1: he's been in the high range as far as targets
25:18
Speaker 1: and catches, and this year he's that's way down compared
25:23
Speaker 1: to where he has been historically. But he's a good
25:26
Speaker 1: football player. What will the Jaguars do? Will they will
25:31
Speaker 1: they travel somebody with Davante Adams. Could they take Tyson
25:36
Speaker 1: Campbell and say, hey, look you're gonna cover Davanta when
25:38
Speaker 1: we go. Man, we haven't seen a lot of that
25:41
Speaker 1: out of the Jaguars. Could they do it this week?
25:44
Speaker 1: I think that would be pretty interesting. Could they take
25:48
Speaker 1: Darius Williams travel them. Could they put two guys on
25:53
Speaker 1: Davante Adams and then leave everybody else single covered. I
25:56
Speaker 1: don't know, there's kind of two theories real quick here, JP.
25:59
Speaker 1: I know, we gotta take a Bill Belichick always had
26:02
Speaker 1: and he's one of the great defensive minds to ever
26:04
Speaker 1: be in the league, arguably the greatest ever. Because a
26:09
Speaker 1: lot of people in the league used to have this
26:11
Speaker 1: approach that they would always take there the best corner,
26:15
Speaker 1: they had to put it on the best receiver. Belichick
26:18
Speaker 1: had always had a little bit of a different approach.
26:20
Speaker 1: He would take his second best corner and then double
26:25
Speaker 1: cover the best guy with that second or third best
26:29
Speaker 1: corner in the safety and then have his better guys
26:32
Speaker 1: on or the next or his two best guys on
26:35
Speaker 1: the other two guys, which was an interesting approach. You know.
26:39
Speaker 1: I remember when he kind of first started showing some
26:41
Speaker 1: of that stuff. I was like, maw, that's so pretty
26:43
Speaker 1: cool because it's kind of different than what most people
26:46
Speaker 1: would think would be the way to approach that. So
26:50
Speaker 1: there's a couple approaches. Will they do that or will
26:52
Speaker 1: they just play their defenses? I don't know, but it's
26:54
Speaker 1: going to be something to watch. We'll come back in
26:57
Speaker 1: a moment, and there are a lot of eyes on
26:59
Speaker 1: the Lost Vegas Raiders injury report. We'll get to that.
27:02
Speaker 1: It's fresh, it's hot off the press. The Jaguars have
27:05
Speaker 1: one name on the list this week as well. We'll
27:07
Speaker 1: get the new one for Thursday. The latest from practice

27:58
Speaker 1: with Jeff Flagerman. Week nine Ray Eaters Jaguars Raiders two
28:01
Speaker 1: and five Jaguars two and six, five in a row.
28:04
Speaker 1: The Jags have lost their trying to get back on
28:06
Speaker 1: track at home against the Raiders in time now for
28:10
Speaker 1: the injury report presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville
28:13
Speaker 1: Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
28:20
Speaker 1: One name on the Jaguars list this week Jamal Agnew,
28:24
Speaker 1: the kick returner and wide receiver with a knee issue.
28:27
Speaker 1: He's missed the last couple of games limited Wednesday, limited
28:32
Speaker 1: in practice again today logs. But maybe it's trending the
28:36
Speaker 1: right way. It'd be nice to see him back out there.
28:38
Speaker 1: I think, I hope so. The reason obviously he he
28:43
Speaker 1: adds an element to the offense which is explosive, but
28:48
Speaker 1: most importantly, his return ability I think is always a threat.
28:52
Speaker 1: And after watching Jamachael Hasty as a kick returner, Christian
28:57
Speaker 1: Kirk is a punt returner, Uh, They're not, Jamal Agnew,
29:04
Speaker 1: Christian Uh. They had a couple of returns last week
29:07
Speaker 1: where you know, I think when they first put him
29:09
Speaker 1: out there and say, hey Christian, just wave your hand
29:11
Speaker 1: and call for the fair catch. But it was so open.
29:14
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, I gotta try to return a couple
29:16
Speaker 1: of these. It wasn't it was. It wasn't great. And
29:19
Speaker 1: that's why you want Jamal Agnew back and and if
29:22
Speaker 1: you can, and the Jaguars haven't had anything really explosive
29:26
Speaker 1: from special teams yet in the return game, so that
29:29
Speaker 1: would be nice to be able to get something in
29:31
Speaker 1: that category. Now, how much is that designed? You think?
29:34
Speaker 1: With Jamal back there, If he's back there, we're not
29:37
Speaker 1: kicking to this guy, you know. No, No, I mean, look,
29:39
Speaker 1: he's had opportunities. Jamal has had opportunities, and it just
29:42
Speaker 1: hasn't had that moment yet. And the Raiders got got
29:46
Speaker 1: a pretty good special teams group themselves. Now if you
29:49
Speaker 1: look at them, they've got a kicker who has like
29:51
Speaker 1: thirty nine straight field goals going all the way back
29:54
Speaker 1: like a year ago. They've got an all Pro UH
29:58
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl punter who is right up there at the
30:01
Speaker 1: top with Logan Cook, maybe even a little bit better.
30:05
Speaker 1: Than Logan Cook, which is that's pretty good. Right, So this, uh,
30:10
Speaker 1: this is this is a good special teams group with
30:14
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. So be nice to have agnew
30:17
Speaker 1: back to be able to get to get a difference
30:20
Speaker 1: maker potentially out there on the field. Let's see what
30:23
Speaker 1: his status is tomorrow after practice. Now the Raiders have
30:26
Speaker 1: a long list. Davante Adams was on that list with
30:29
Speaker 1: an illness. He was limited in practice Wednesday, but back
30:33
Speaker 1: full today for the Raiders. They had a bug going
30:36
Speaker 1: around their team last week, so I don't know if
30:39
Speaker 1: this is related to the bug that they had going
30:42
Speaker 1: around or if this was he was just sick after
30:44
Speaker 1: only having one catch for three yards against the Saints. Right,
30:49
Speaker 1: he could have been both that. Derek carrs on the
30:52
Speaker 1: list with a back issue, but full Wednesday and Thursday.
30:56
Speaker 1: Shouldn't be an issue divine diablo or back and risk injury.
31:00
Speaker 1: Did not practice yesterday but back limited it today. He's
31:04
Speaker 1: a lineback, where's number five. He's a good football player.
31:08
Speaker 1: He's they're leading tackler, really active, and they will miss
31:13
Speaker 1: him if he's not able to play because that's two
31:15
Speaker 1: practices that he has not practiced. Correct alright, that's uh.
31:18
Speaker 1: He did not practice Wednesday, limited today, okay, limited today, okay,
31:22
Speaker 1: And then the next three guys on this list limited
31:24
Speaker 1: both Wednesday and Thursday. Neil Ferrell defensive tackle, Mac Hollands
31:29
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, and Darren Waller the tight end that's
31:33
Speaker 1: the big one, that's the one the hamstring injury. Has
31:35
Speaker 1: been out a couple of weeks. Yeah he uh he
31:37
Speaker 1: uh injured it I think early in the game against
31:41
Speaker 1: Kansas City and so missed the majority of that game,
31:45
Speaker 1: missed the last two games. Was an inactive scratch. And
31:50
Speaker 1: this guy is dynamic. A couple of years ago he
31:52
Speaker 1: was a thousand yard tight end. He's a Pro Bowl
31:56
Speaker 1: type of guy. He's got the size, he's got the speed.
32:00
Speaker 1: It's a difficult matchup for defensive coordinators trying to figure
32:03
Speaker 1: out how do you cover them because he's got such
32:05
Speaker 1: sides of the size speed combination. You know, with his size,
32:09
Speaker 1: you want to put a linebacker on him, but then
32:11
Speaker 1: when you see how fast he can run, you'd like
32:13
Speaker 1: to put a defensive back on him, but then the
32:16
Speaker 1: size can win. So it's it's a that's a tough
32:19
Speaker 1: situation to try to figure out if you're a defensive
32:23
Speaker 1: coordinator when he's on the football field. And and so
32:26
Speaker 1: that's something that I guarantee you the Jaguars coaches are
32:29
Speaker 1: gonna be watching very closely and they are preparing I
32:33
Speaker 1: guarantee you for the Raiders to have him. And it's
32:36
Speaker 1: not like they have another guy that can step up
32:38
Speaker 1: in those shoes. They have other tight ends that are okay,
32:42
Speaker 1: but none Darren Waller is an elite player when he's
32:46
Speaker 1: on his game. I'm I'm talking elite player. And you
32:49
Speaker 1: can't replace elite players with backups. You put it to
32:53
Speaker 1: this team a few years ago in a matchup in
32:57
Speaker 1: what was that nineteen how many targets did he had? Had?
33:00
Speaker 1: Hint targets, eight catches on two yards in that game,
33:03
Speaker 1: did not score domin. That was a yeah, that was
33:06
Speaker 1: a That was that was a wild one. He's a dad.
33:09
Speaker 1: He's a dominant player when he's on his game. And
33:13
Speaker 1: and that's the crazy thing. If if the Raiders get
33:17
Speaker 1: rolling with Josh Jacobs running the ball, who he is considered?
33:22
Speaker 1: PFF has him ranked as the best running back. I
33:25
Speaker 1: don't I wouldn't say that he is the best, but
33:28
Speaker 1: he's really good, Okay, he's right there near the top.
33:30
Speaker 1: So one of the best running backs in the league,
33:32
Speaker 1: you got one of the best tight ends in the league,
33:36
Speaker 1: you got one of the best wide receivers in the league,
33:39
Speaker 1: and you've got a quarterback who win given time in
33:42
Speaker 1: the pocket, has got excellent touch and excellent accuracy. But
33:46
Speaker 1: many people, ever since he came out, there's always been
33:49
Speaker 1: a question about Derek Carr's toughness. Always been I don't
33:54
Speaker 1: get that, man. He's always proven that he, you know,
33:57
Speaker 1: battles through it, at least to me. I mean, that's
34:00
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm with JP, I'm I'm with you.
34:04
Speaker 1: Find but there's a reason why those questions exist. And
34:07
Speaker 1: when you watched the game last week against New Orleans,
34:11
Speaker 1: he did not look like his eyes were staying down
34:15
Speaker 1: the field and the face of pressure, he looked like
34:18
Speaker 1: that he was peaking and finding the rush and then
34:21
Speaker 1: finding a reason to try to do something that wasn't necessary.
34:26
Speaker 1: And that's uh, if you watch that game right there,
34:29
Speaker 1: us Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's a guy that looks
34:32
Speaker 1: like he doesn't deal with pressure very well. But I mean,
34:35
Speaker 1: he have and he hasn't been like that every week.
34:36
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that from watching
34:39
Speaker 1: the game in New Orleans against the Saints, it looked
34:42
Speaker 1: that way. The same draft class as Blake Portles, by
34:45
Speaker 1: the way, they were all in here on visits. Yeah,
34:49
Speaker 1: when Bridgewater was here and he was here and Blake
34:52
Speaker 1: was here all the same day, you know, and and
34:56
Speaker 1: and getting ready for the Raiders game. You know, you
34:58
Speaker 1: always always put together my board, and and when you
35:00
Speaker 1: do a broadcast, you have a board. And this past
35:03
Speaker 1: game in London, you had the opportunity to work with
35:07
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock, who was the former general manager of the
35:10
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders. So that was cool. It was interesting perspective
35:14
Speaker 1: on on the Raiders. For sure. We got yeah, we
35:17
Speaker 1: got some great stories about the Raiders. And uh, I
35:21
Speaker 1: always had high respect from Mike Mayhock, and I still do.
35:25
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's a very good personnel guy.
35:27
Speaker 1: I think that he would he would do a very
35:30
Speaker 1: good job for a team and some kind of capacity.
35:33
Speaker 1: But the the dynamic with John Gruden with the Raiders,
35:40
Speaker 1: it didn't work. And you know, the old saying is
35:44
Speaker 1: is that you know, stick to what you know. I
35:47
Speaker 1: think could be aptly applied in a lot of different cases.
35:50
Speaker 1: And if you're a coach, stick to coaching. If you're
35:52
Speaker 1: a personnel guy, stick to being a personnel guy. And
35:57
Speaker 1: so you don't try to be a coach if you're
35:59
Speaker 1: a personnel guy, and vice versa, you don't try to
36:01
Speaker 1: be a personnel guy if you're a coach, right, And
36:05
Speaker 1: but Gruden had the control and the final say, and
36:08
Speaker 1: that was kind of how it went there a lot
36:10
Speaker 1: of times. And that's part of that saying he had
36:12
Speaker 1: the con Yeah pretty much. Yeah right, But um, you know,
36:18
Speaker 1: for for Mike Mayock, you know how many opportunities like
36:22
Speaker 1: that are going to come along, and you know they
36:26
Speaker 1: don't come along with the chance to do it. And
36:29
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, right, But he learned a lot about
36:32
Speaker 1: the process, and um, I'm sure at some point he'll
36:36
Speaker 1: be back on television if he wants to be. Doesn't
36:38
Speaker 1: have to be now after the last few years. But um,
36:41
Speaker 1: they got to the playoffs last year and he's still
36:44
Speaker 1: getting paid. I'm sure he is. Yeah, we didn't quite
36:50
Speaker 1: get into man, you're still making money for the Raiders.
36:55
Speaker 1: We'd have to you could probably somebody could probably google
36:57
Speaker 1: that and find out. Let me guess he's doing fine,
37:00
Speaker 1: because very different than players. If a coach or a
37:05
Speaker 1: personnel guy gets fired and they had a contract, that
37:08
Speaker 1: contract has to be paid out. And he got fired
37:11
Speaker 1: after they went to the playoffs, remember that? Oh yeah,
37:15
Speaker 1: with which I thought, I thought that Mark Davis made
37:20
Speaker 1: a huge mistake. And I'm look, I'm not down on
37:24
Speaker 1: on the current coach of the Raiders, okay, because I
37:26
Speaker 1: think Josh McDaniels a good football coach. Yeah, they're not
37:29
Speaker 1: performing well right now. But I thought that rich Pisaki Pisaccio,
37:34
Speaker 1: the special team's coach who became the interim coordinator, did
37:38
Speaker 1: such a good job last year. I was shocked that
37:42
Speaker 1: they didn't just retain him and Mike I thought for sure,
37:47
Speaker 1: because they showed noticeable improvement and what was an extremely
37:53
Speaker 1: tough situation with all the negative attention and the negative
37:56
Speaker 1: light that was shined on the Raiders organization, and it
38:01
Speaker 1: would have saved Mark Davis a bunch of money. Well,
38:07
Speaker 1: I don't know. There it is, and um so the
38:10
Speaker 1: Raiders are coming in here. There is the injury report
38:14
Speaker 1: presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Worthopetag Institute, the
38:17

39:14
Speaker 1: and YouTube. On the video side, it's the Miller Electric
39:17
Speaker 1: Center moving along quite nice. It should be open for
39:22
Speaker 1: business for training camp. It's gonna be really really awesome.
39:27
Speaker 1: That's uh. It's really coming together pretty cool because the
39:31
Speaker 1: main building itself is uh starting to get the roof
39:34
Speaker 1: on it. They're painting some of the steel around the
39:38
Speaker 1: edges of the roof. The grand stand is going up
39:41
Speaker 1: where there's gonna be city seeding to watch the practice fields.
39:46
Speaker 1: The indoor complex roof is all the structure components of
39:51
Speaker 1: the roof or in place. So yeah, it's pretty neat.
39:54
Speaker 1: That's big. Whole area is big. Yes, Joe, Joe Fortunato's
39:59
Speaker 1: with us, gentlemen. We may be able to see that shot.
40:04
Speaker 1: Was that? Oh yeah, the time changes? Yeah, thanks, that's
40:09
Speaker 1: a good point. We'll pre record that shot. Yeah, we'll
40:11
Speaker 1: just roll this one back over and over and over
40:14
Speaker 1: and over. And they stopped construction somehow. If they had
40:17
Speaker 1: to show that, we'll pre record so we have a
40:20
Speaker 1: daylight shot of it every week. How about that? Right?
40:24
Speaker 1: All right? So the Raiders and the Jaguars coming up.
40:26
Speaker 1: Raiders two and five. They're practicing down at i MG
40:29
Speaker 1: in Bradenton this whole week. They were in New Orleans
40:32
Speaker 1: and got shut out last week, and they've been away
40:34
Speaker 1: from home for a long time and their geared up
40:37
Speaker 1: and trying to get some points on the board. At
40:39
Speaker 1: least this week. The Jaguars have dropped five in a
40:41
Speaker 1: row after two and one start boy had some key
40:45
Speaker 1: moment issues. We talked about them earlier. Loggs Jags pretty
40:48
Speaker 1: good between the twenties, not so good in the red zone,
40:51
Speaker 1: not so good in the gold to ghost situations as
40:53
Speaker 1: of late. And the Jags defense middle of the pack
40:57
Speaker 1: as a whole, but in key moments late games they've
41:00
Speaker 1: been unable to hang on the leads or threw over
41:03
Speaker 1: the top, unable to stop the run here there and
41:07
Speaker 1: now that that equals five straight losses. The turnover margin
41:10
Speaker 1: now minus two on the season. That that has flipped
41:13
Speaker 1: from the early two three weeks to start the season.
41:17
Speaker 1: So that's what happens. I mean, you just look at
41:19
Speaker 1: the at the categories of of the two games that
41:22
Speaker 1: you've won versus the games that you haven't won. The
41:26
Speaker 1: the takeaway giveaways is drastically different, The penalties per game
41:32
Speaker 1: is drastically different. The disappointing thing is the penalty category.
41:36
Speaker 1: The Broncos were awful in that category, made a bunch
41:39
Speaker 1: of mistakes the first half. They had like twelve or
41:44
Speaker 1: thirteen in the game. The Jaguars had five, and so
41:47
Speaker 1: you're thinking, okay, boy, and and they had four of
41:50
Speaker 1: that one drive alone. Were they the game management was
41:54
Speaker 1: not really any better for Nathaniel Hackett in that game
41:57
Speaker 1: getting a delay of game on a kickoff for have
42:00
Speaker 1: you ever seen that? We had never seen that on
42:03
Speaker 1: our broadet. I've never seen that. And I said that
42:05
Speaker 1: on on our broadcast, which is you know, we're right there.
42:09
Speaker 1: I think I said, what in the world is going
42:11
Speaker 1: on here? How do you do? How do you get that?
42:13
Speaker 1: I mean really, and it was It wasn't like you
42:16
Speaker 1: had a a controversial two point try that you know
42:20
Speaker 1: there are they going to replay it and you're wondering
42:22
Speaker 1: what's going on? They had a guy lined up on
42:24
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the field, they had to go
42:25
Speaker 1: to the other side and they ran out of time.
42:28
Speaker 1: Kidding me anyway, but yeah, that's and you know every
42:33
Speaker 1: week if you go to Jaguars dot com, I think
42:36
Speaker 1: it's published on Saturdays. It's the what the experts think
42:39
Speaker 1: about the game? Right? Yes, do you do that too?
42:42
Speaker 1: You're you're right in it. I am one of the
42:45
Speaker 1: considered one of the experts from time to you know,
42:48
Speaker 1: John Osher compiles all the people's opinion. It's you and
42:51
Speaker 1: me and Brian Sexton actually called final analysis. Frank Francie.
42:56
Speaker 1: Everybody chimes in and what they think how the game's
42:59
Speaker 1: gonna go. Brent Martin is even in there, and um
43:03
Speaker 1: and so I'm just putting some of my thoughts together.
43:05
Speaker 1: My first aut is how the Jaguars win is if
43:09
Speaker 1: they get back to playing complementary football, which this football
43:14
Speaker 1: team hasn't had in the last five games. If one
43:20
Speaker 1: component doesn't play well, the other component picks him up.
43:24
Speaker 1: And if one component plays well, then the other has
43:29
Speaker 1: a positive play that reinforces the next opportunity for the
43:33
Speaker 1: other unit. And it just hasn't been happening, you know.
43:36
Speaker 1: When the Jaguars take the lead, for example, late in
43:39
Speaker 1: the ball game, defense has got to get the stop,
43:42
Speaker 1: you know. Or if the Jaguars had the lead and
43:45
Speaker 1: then the defense gets to stop, okay, then the offense
43:49
Speaker 1: needs to put together maybe a four minute drill to
43:51
Speaker 1: eat the game clock ups with the defense doesn't have
43:53
Speaker 1: to go out there later in the game. Or if
43:56
Speaker 1: the offense sputters, you know, and they got a lead,
43:59
Speaker 1: they don't gain any three In a punt a logan
44:01
Speaker 1: cook do a do a great job. I've had a
44:03
Speaker 1: great punt to flip the field the other way to
44:06
Speaker 1: make the opponent have to drive ninety yards and if
44:09
Speaker 1: you're the defense, don't allow an opponent to drive. I mean,
44:15
Speaker 1: that's what complimentary football is all about. And this team
44:18
Speaker 1: needs to get back to playing good complimentary football. Jaguars
44:22
Speaker 1: All Access Television tonight, String Sports Brewery and Springfield the Site.
44:29
Speaker 1: Allen is the regular player host of that show. Who's
44:33
Speaker 1: his guest tonight for Lucan? Very nice? Yeah, the pre
44:37
Speaker 1: agent mital linebacker that the Jaguars were able to pick
44:40
Speaker 1: up from the Atlanta Falcon, has been a tackling machine
44:43
Speaker 1: and it'll be good to talk with him. And uh,
44:46
Speaker 1: he's a he's an IVY League guy. Yale Yale? Yeah's not.
44:52
Speaker 1: There's not many linebackers in the NFL that have gone
44:56
Speaker 1: to you. How many IVY League guys are there in
44:58
Speaker 1: the NFL? Now? Any idea? I don't know really researched
45:03
Speaker 1: that that would be. That would be a good trivia question. Joe, Well,
45:06
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald's out. He was a Harvard guy. Who Ryan Fitzgerald
45:10
Speaker 1: who the quarterback Fitzpatrick's patricks bearded one? Who is now
45:15
Speaker 1: on Thursday night tonight? Yes, sorry, but a long day.
45:21
Speaker 1: He was a Harvard guy. Yeah, there aren't many. There's
45:24
Speaker 1: a there's a tight end kicker too, There's a tight
45:28
Speaker 1: that there. There was a tight end that that the
45:31
Speaker 1: Jaguars face in the last couple of weeks. It was
45:34
Speaker 1: I think a Harvard guy too. But anyway, there's not many,
45:37
Speaker 1: is the point. And he's up there with top five
45:41
Speaker 1: in the league and tackles again, yeah, and he's been
45:43
Speaker 1: playing pretty solid. I think he's got a lot of
45:46
Speaker 1: room that he can still grow in this. In this
45:48
Speaker 1: my Caldwell defense and the Jaguars defensively, they play sometimes
45:56
Speaker 1: they play a coverage which is kind of a blended
46:00
Speaker 1: and in a zone and it's kind of weird and
46:03
Speaker 1: it's hard to explain, but essentially, you have one side
46:06
Speaker 1: plays man, the other side plays zone. So the one
46:10
Speaker 1: part that you have to be careful of is that
46:13
Speaker 1: if one of the receivers from the zone side runs
46:17
Speaker 1: over to the side of the field that the man
46:20
Speaker 1: side is on, somebody's got to go right because the
46:24
Speaker 1: people over there are leaving with their guy. That's because
46:27
Speaker 1: earned man coverage over there, so they've had and it's
46:31
Speaker 1: there's there's not many teams in the league that do this.
46:33
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting and they've had a little bit of
46:36
Speaker 1: struggle with trying to to communicate and understand the exact
46:41
Speaker 1: commitments that's required with with this blendid coverage, and so
46:46
Speaker 1: that will be ah an interesting question. And I'm looking
46:49
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to asking Foyer is that you know,
46:51
Speaker 1: is this something that he's doing for the first time?
46:54
Speaker 1: How do you how do you get better at that?
46:57
Speaker 1: You know, how do you get better as the defense
46:58
Speaker 1: to close the games out? But I'm looking forward to
47:00
Speaker 1: talking with him because you know, I know he's a
47:03
Speaker 1: smart guy. Look, you don't go to that school if
47:04
Speaker 1: you don't have a little bit of intelligence. JP. I mean, look,
47:08
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys Harvard, Harvard of the South
47:10
Speaker 1: over here. Well, like I said, a lot of guys
47:12
Speaker 1: that went to back Obama. Not particularly smart by the
47:16
Speaker 1: way they're at least at the start of the season,
47:18
Speaker 1: they were nine Ivy League players from five different schools
47:22
Speaker 1: that earned fifty three man roster spots started the season
47:25
Speaker 1: nine of them. Can you name him, I've got them.
47:27
Speaker 1: Give him to Cameron Bright for the Buccaneers from Harvard.
47:31
Speaker 1: What positions he tight end? Michael hoped, I think from
47:36
Speaker 1: Brown playing for the Rams Jasper Horstead Princeton for the Raiders. Yeah. Yeah,
47:42
Speaker 1: that's the guy that, uh he's a tight end. This
47:45
Speaker 1: is the one we're gonna be mad at ourselves. Kyle
47:47
Speaker 1: Ustchick Harvard and the Foyer of course from Yale for
47:53
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, Tyler Ott for the Seahawks with to Harvard,
47:56
Speaker 1: what positions he play, you don't know reading a press release,
48:01
Speaker 1: and then Rodney Thomas from Yale with the Colts, Greg
48:05
Speaker 1: Van Rotten from Penn for the Bills, and Justin Watson
48:08
Speaker 1: from Penn for the Chiefs. Okay, pens like football. You
48:15
Speaker 1: that to two or three that's at the start of
48:17
Speaker 1: the regular season. Yeah, initial fifty three men roster. That's
48:20
Speaker 1: cool though. There you got um why Yeah, I didn't
48:24
Speaker 1: think it was gonna be that many. I would have
48:26
Speaker 1: what it would you say? Eight? There were nine in
48:28
Speaker 1: the start of the season because Fitzpatrick and Treator retired. Okay,
48:31
Speaker 1: so nine I was thinking if I had to guess,
48:34
Speaker 1: I would have said like four. Right, Yeah, that's kind
48:41
Speaker 1: of where we are, right. There's a handful of guys
48:43
Speaker 1: on practice squads also, but you know, at the start
48:45
Speaker 1: of the year, so of course that's nine weeks ago,
48:48
Speaker 1: so yeah, it might be different now. Roster's changed back
48:52
Speaker 1: and forth from practice squad of injured reserve, etcetera, etcetera. Anyway,
48:56
Speaker 1: all right, so how are you feeling about this game? Nervous?
49:01
Speaker 1: The reason why I'm nervous is You've played You've played
49:06
Speaker 1: the Colts when they were struggling on offense and Matt
49:09
Speaker 1: Ryan ended up having what was a really strong day.
49:14
Speaker 1: He played the Broncos that were struggling on offense and
49:18
Speaker 1: they were able to get the victory against you, and
49:21
Speaker 1: they made critical plays at key moments as an offense.
49:24
Speaker 1: So and the reason I really concerned is that Derek
49:29
Speaker 1: Carr has been around a long time, just like Russell Wilson.
49:33
Speaker 1: So you know, the guys is more than capable of
49:35
Speaker 1: what he did against the Saints last week. He's got
49:39
Speaker 1: excellent players at all the levels running back, tight end,
49:43
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and he's got two good wide receivers, Hunter Renfroe,
49:46
Speaker 1: who he's not really using much and Davante Adams, who
49:50
Speaker 1: is a Pro Bowl guy. So yeah, I'm nervous. And
49:52
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have not played well, So I mean there's
49:56
Speaker 1: I mean, what would you want me to say? I
49:58
Speaker 1: feel good about it. Oh no, I didn't. I was
49:59
Speaker 1: just asking you how you felt. I'm a little nervous.
50:03
Speaker 1: I was nervous last week. You know. I was hoping
50:08
Speaker 1: that Denver would be more interested in sight seeing than
50:10
Speaker 1: preparing for a game. But they obviously prepared enough. We'll
50:15
Speaker 1: hear from Doug Peterson coming up in just a few
50:18
Speaker 1: moments on The Doug Peterson Show on the Network. That's
50:21
Speaker 1: it for Jaguars Happy Hour on Jaguars Radio.
