  Speaker 1: James Gladstone in the GM.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Tony Vasselli, the EVP of Football Operations, slated to join
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: us this evening Live. We'll hear from those guys coming
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: up shortly ahead of the Jets Jaguars matchup Jets three
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and ten Jaguars.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Nine and four.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Loves have been hearing a lot about disrespect this week,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars being disrespected by national media leaving him out
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of the conversation in the AFC South and beyond, and
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: we've heard about in the building they're kind of using
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: that as some fuel. How really you think that is?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Look, whatever you can use to gain a little momentum
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: and motivation, I'm all for.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I don't care what that is.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: And the reality is is that this has been a
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: small market team that has not had great success and
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: so the respect, just like anywhere else and doing anything else,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: has got to be earned. And you win football games,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the respect will come. But the reality is doesn't matter. Okay,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: what's better gaining respect or winning games? Which comes first?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Which comes second? Got to win games to get respect,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: So let's worry about that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good idea, right, And they've won four in a
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: row and five out of six since the bye week.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Well, and the reality is is that even though you've
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: won four in a row, you've earned the opportunity for
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: where you are, but you really haven't done anything yet.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I haven't clinched a thing.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of football left to be played,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: no doubt about that. James Gladstone, Tony Vasselli making their
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: way into the Hyundai studios the Miller Electric Center after
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the long walk down the hallway. The Jets and the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Jaguars matchup this Sunday, the disrespected Jags back home again
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to face the Jets. As we were just talking about,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: nothing clinched for this team, everything's still out there for
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So the focus should be all in on the Jets
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, without a doubt.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, we have done nothing but got to a
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: nine and four record, which at this point it gets
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: you just just a little bit more than nothing. And
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: and so everything's still in front of us. I mean,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the good thing is we control our own destiny in December.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I don't think you can ask much more in that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: But it does not matter if you don't go take
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: care of business this week against a Jets team that
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: over the last six games it's three and three and
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: playing much better football and has a good football coach
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: that's getting, you know, trying to change the culture up
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: there and the Jets, and if you watch them play,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: you can see it. You can see the effort, you
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: can see the strain. They've had some injuries, but they're
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: gonna come play hard and we better be ready and
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: we better bring our best effort.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: All right, So I got one for you, James. Okay,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Darren Moogie?
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Is that right?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Did I say his name?
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: I believe?
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, a lot of moo, So he goes that moo
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: baton rouge moves move for short. Okay, you guys must
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: have a pretty good level of conversation, Okay, be calling them.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, so uh he's.
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: Got college teammate of heath.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially coordinate. That's pretty cool.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: They had a ton of guys come out of that
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: program at that phase.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: You also got Kevin O'Connell, san Diego, c A. S. S. Tony.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: All right, So my question is he's traded for like
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: seven players on that team, and and two of them
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: have been you know, main headlines. Quinn Williams of the Dallas
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Cowboys Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. He got a
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: ton of picks, A ton of picks. What do you
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: think about the trades?
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: You know what, I think everybody has their plan of
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: attack for the future, for the president, and I think
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: at this point for them, they thought it was in
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: the best interests for their football team, for their organization
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: and look forward to certainly seeing that from afar how
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: it all unfolds. But I'm you, sly, they're working towards
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: what's right in front of front of them, just like
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: we are. And they got to face us. We got
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: to face them. And it's the Jeff Logaman Ball.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Important game.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It's not huge.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: This is it's the most important game in the franchise.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: But it's not the Logerman It's most important.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: On the hallway of the bulletin board.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Blood, blood on the jersey.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Oh it's a great shot, all white.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, down the hall way on what on the boards?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Picture of you of me?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And what in the game? Jet's game, Jet's game.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: You're in the.
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: Jaguars Jack War, Okay, as long as I'm in a
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: Jack white white bottom.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, blood all over the place.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: That's just another day. At the office and football days. Anyways,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: blood on the jersey is what it is. I will
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: tell you one of the coolest moments, and you guys
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: will get a kick out of this because you guys
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: are students of the game. I'll never forget when when
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I I was in New York and that was the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: first round pick, and you know, all the guys giving
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: me a bunch of crap in the locker room. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: after practice one day, I was in the locker room
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and I was just telling JP about this, and uh,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: you know, still kind of feeling my way in the
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: locker room, you know, as a young player, because you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: back then they didn't have all the OTAs and all
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff to get to know your teammates
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: very well. Everybody was kind of detached. We had a
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: mini camp for a couple of days and then training camp.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: And I remember training camp. I was sitting there and
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: sitting at my locker after practice one day and a
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: guy and comes sits down next to me and it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Joe freaking Namath. I mean, how cool was that? And
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: one of the and he was one of the nicest
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: human beings and sat there and we had a conversation
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: for like twenty minutes, and uh, you know, and he
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and Joe was a little bit before my time, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: obviously I knew who he was and for him to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: take that bit of time to spend with me at
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: my locker, you know, I a ton of respect for
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Joe Namath and some great players of the past game
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: that kind of paved the way for me and Tony
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: and you and JP and this great business at roll right.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: Preach, Yeah, cool stuff comes to a head here on Sunday.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Big yeah, big game, Big game, you know, because if
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: you win this game, Look, each time you stack one
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: on the win column, then the importance of the next
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: one becomes even bigger. And that's what you want. That's
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: what you play this game for, is just to stack
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: wins and to get the next moment bigger than the
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: previous one.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's something you got to be proud of.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: With our group to date, right.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: As challenges and resenting themselves, this team is has met them,
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: you know. And we talked about responses dating back to
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: the preseason and what our responses look like at at
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: different intervals, different windows of this season. And you know
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: this response right now to coming off the heels of
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: an emotional win against a divisional opponent for the top
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: spot in the division. What's our response that we have
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: to look like. And that's a challenge that you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: I look forward to seeing us face and seeing us
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: work through because we've been in some moments this year
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: where we've played in some big games, some big wins,
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: and have had to work through that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: And now it's.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Just a chance for us to see whether or not
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: we can come through with the result that we're actually
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: hunting up. But you know, I know there's a level
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: of focus and commitment to just focusing on the now
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: and rooting ourselves in the moment and look forward to
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: seeing obviously what practice holds for us on Friday, Saturday
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: and into the game on Sunday when we kick things off.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Other not I mean, we know about the depth that
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: has played for this team this year and played well
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: in key moments. You're getting some guys healthy back. But
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: also a big piece of this recent run is that
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: star players and highly paid players are playing like star
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: players right now. Trevor Lawrence the last two weeks over
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: one hundred rating last week arguably is most impactful, one
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: of the most impactful games in this career, the way
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: through it downfield one time in each quarter had a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: deep completion and then Josh heinz Allen, I mean he's
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: got six and a half of his sacks since the byeweight.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: That's a huge point when you have your star players
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: playing bigger than everybody else contributing to.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's clearly a combination of both, and I think
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: a ton of credit goes to the coaching staff as
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: well for making sure that when we were navigating a
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: high level of attrition throughout the course of the season,
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: not always let's call it ir worthy injuries, but stretches
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: of injuries that kept guys out, we were able to
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: sort of weather that storm. And that takes a large
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: effort from a lot of different people, And obviously the
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: players are the ones that execute and perform on Sundays,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: and all credit there in tandem with our coaching staff
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: who gets guys ready for each each matchup and getting
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: guys with a ton of experience walking into the back
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: quarter of the season being ready, primed and ready for
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: bigger roles, primed and ready to fill in if and
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: when it presents itself again. But clearly there's been a
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: level up across the board, and you know, I think
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: at the beginning of the season it was easy to
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: say that good teams are built over the course of
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: the off season, but it's the great ones that evolve
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: over the course of the season. And I think we're
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: seeing an evolution which obviously in time will be able
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: to tell the full scale of that. But certainly proud
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: to see levels to this, steps to this.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: But I think you talk real quick on that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I think you speaked about, you know, Josh and Trevor
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: highlighting those two guys, and they have, They've done a
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: great job. But I think it also speaks to, I
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: think kind of building what James says. You look at
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: this team that has got incrementally better and continues to
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: improve and continues to strain and push towards becoming a
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: better football team. And a lot of that's through adversity
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: and response that James talked about. And what has been
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: fun to watch and really appreciate from this group, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: it goes to our coaches and our players, is to
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: continue to be unsatisfied and continuing to push, whether it's
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: on the practice field and the meetings, learning from mistakes
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: and growing and not being satisfied and taking each challenge
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: as they've come at you, which is this is another
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: one with the Jets coming to town and coming off
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: a tough division game, and guys are getting back and
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: some guys are healthy for the first time, so which
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: is good for us as a team. But each individual,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: each unit continue to work and because I think it's
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: easy human nature a lot of times is like you
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: can lean on what you've done, whether it's in the past.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: You can lean on success, you know, having a couple
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: of big wins or whatever. And I think truly the
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: guys who have long careers or do something impactfulness sport
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: and teams that become good football teams, consistent football teams
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: are those teams that have the ability to enjoy the
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: success and to enjoy the big moments, but at the
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: same time get back to work on Monday with the
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: same approach that they've had week in and week out
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: and taking each opportunity as a serious opportunity because that's
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: what's in front of you, and that's the beauty of
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: the NFL. Well, unlike any other professional sports league, you
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: only get seventeen regular season opportunities are promised at the
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: end of the year. So each Sunday it's its own challenge.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Each Sunday it's gonna look a little bit different what
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: comes at you. And being prepared to go attack that opportunity,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I think is critical and this team so far, these
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: group of guys, our coaches, have been able to do
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: that week in week out, and that's going to be
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: key for us moving forward. As we approach the last
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: four games of the season, we'll.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Turn with a dive into the Jets Jaguars matchup and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: some of the matchups on both sides of the football
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and on special teams as well where the Jets let's
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: have some success this year.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: This is Jags ah Q on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: right now.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: We are back on the Jaguars Radio Network JP Shadrick
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: with Jeff Logoman, Tony Vasselli and James Gladstone live in
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: studio with us ahead of this Jets Jaguars matchup in
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: week fifteen, the Jets three and ten the Jaguars nine
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and four.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Let's dig into some of the matchups this week. We
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: start with this Jags offense against Jets. Excuse me, Jags
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: defense against the Jets offense, and it's.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Tough times in New York with two injured quarterbacks. The
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: top two guys have not practiced this week either the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: first two days. Third quarterback Brady Cook is also in
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the injury report, but he has practiced both days. He
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: got in the game last week in the first quarter,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: finished it out. What's the approach when you're facing this
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: situation on the other side.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Of the football for a Jags defense and how do
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you prep?
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you go about it in a very
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: similar way you do every opponent. And you know, you
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: can't take anybody lightly in this league. And we faced
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: backup quarterbacks a number of times this season, and you know,
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: none of them have been easy out.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: I think at this point you got to just respect
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: what the Jets have to offer and understand that anybody
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: that's out there is a threat. And in this instance,
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: they also have a running game that is is no
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: easy task. I mean, that's a legitimate unit that can
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: do a lot of damage and it's something that we
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: got to be able to stop. You know, it's another
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: challenge for our defense to lean into what many would
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: would say, as a superpower theirs, and that's halt run games.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: And we got to continue to level ourselves up to
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: ensure that that remains something that people look to as.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: A big strength of how we operate.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: But I don't think you approach it in any significant
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: different way knowing that anybody that steps out onto that
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: field can run game.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Was coming.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean Brice An he can go now.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: And they got an offensive line that's been together all year, yep.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: And they got a rookie top pick in Membu, the
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: right tackle.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: He's pretty good.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: He's a good football player.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Very guys like him coming out of the draft, very athletic,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: you know what.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: The So they got two Mazoo guys out there, Brady
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Cook ends up happening. Arc And and Membo and Brady
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: somebody that I got familiarity with. We come from the
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: same same city. And really he was a rival high school.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, so followed his game from Afar, so know
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: it well, and I certainly won't be surprised by you know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: him finding footing.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: But did he beat your high school?
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: He definitely did.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Back in the day he was he was part of
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: a couple of good teams uh, coming out there, But nonetheless,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: I think certainly got.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: To acknowledge that their run game is one that is
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: really going.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: To push the envelope and and force us to continue
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: to do our part.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Jaguars offense against this Jets defense. And they've traded away
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: as we mentioned, Gardner and quinnin Williams, and they only
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: have two takeaways this season as a team. I think
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: one of those is on special teams, so no interceptions.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: They're on a historic drought in terms of takeaways.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, how how.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Close are they to some of these?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: And that that seems like just some bad circumstances sometimes
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: you fall.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: Into of you, Right, there's certainly uh, those numbers aren't
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: indicative of the aggressiveness at the point of contact, at
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: the catch point.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: That you would see from UH.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: I think many can probably understand the idea that turnovers
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: tend to come in waves, and they also come in routes. Right,
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: They're usually not a constant, and so I certainly don't
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: want to be a part of the process that would
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: help sort of spout that for them, right, So got
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: to be careful, got to protect the football in the
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: way that we always put an emphasis on it. And
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: know that that's ultimately where it starts is you got
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: to keep it in your hands.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: You got to ensure the.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: Catch, the the at the point of contact, you're you're
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: holding onto things, Otherwise the game can get away from you.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: And certainly we try to do our part to ensure
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: that we don't allow that to pop off, so to speak.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Knowing it's been some version of a pain point for them,
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: but still they offer a penetrating front.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: They disrupt a lot, and.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: Uh, I know, off the heels of playing the Miami Dolphins,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: as much as that might have felt like it got
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: away from them being twenty one zero, well, their kicking game,
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: their return unit got them right back into that thing.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: And they've been in a lot of tight games. It's
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: not been like they've been getting.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: Blown out by everybody.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: They've been in a lot of these and their special
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: teams unit has contributed to that in a big way.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: And so certainly that's another challenge that we'll have to
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: level up to. Our coverage unit has done a nice
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: job over the course of the last handful of games
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: and really against some good return units, and this will
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: be another great op for them to showcase what they
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: have to offer to this team because we know that
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: it's something that can allow the Jets to get ahead,
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: get back in it, and don't want that to be
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: a phase of the game that shows up in any
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: way that's notable.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Now, the two return guys, Can Wongu and Isaiah william.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: Another Stlki let's go, I've just got to get the
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: lego down.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Also, quarterback out of Saint Louis ended up going to
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Illinois playing QB to start and then switch to more
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: gadget receiver return man before going to Detroit and then
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: the Jets.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: All right, so everybody knows that Jets special teams. They've
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: got Chris Banjo, who was playing just a couple of
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: years ago. In fact, might be called out of retirement.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: You never know, Colts might need him. But he's leading
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: the special teams of the Jets and it's a really
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: good group. But to go back to that Jets defense
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: with Quinn Williams going, Sauce Gardner gone, who's their best
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: player that's that they have on defense. I mean, there's
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: a couple of guys that I think would probably be
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: in consideration. But in your guys, your two eyes or
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: four eyes, I guess with both of you, who do
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: you think is the best next best player that they have.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's fair to say that their rush
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: unit is good and Will McDonald does a really good
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: job of being a cyclone like many Iowa State players.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: See what you did there, He does, he presents and
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: it does his part to create havoc and give pass
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: protectors a very look every time he ends up rushing
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: the passer. So long arms that can block field goals,
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: you know, and they have and that points to their
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: impact on special teams, not only being the return game,
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: but also how they treat kicks. And so he's shown
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: up in multiple phases and certainly feel him as a
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: pass rusher jumping out for sure.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Let's return in a moment.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: We'll get our final thoughts look ahead to this Jets
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Jaguars matchup more with Tony Bisselli and James Gladstone. When
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: we return, it's Jaggs HQ on Jaguars Radio.
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: right now.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: We continue on the Jaguars Radio Network. JP Shadwick with Jeff.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Logoman, Tony Boselli, James Gladstone and Studio with us each
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and every Thursday. It's Week fifteen, the First Place Jaguars
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: meet the New York Jets one a clock kickoff time
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: this Sunday, and need another packed house here at the
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Bank to support this team here at home.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Tony gotta have it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: This is a game.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: As we mentioned earlier, nothing's clinched. Everything's still out there
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: and there's no guarantees. You gotta go earn this game.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: We gotta go win.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I think everyone knows what I'm about to say.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: It's the most important game in the history of the
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: franchise is because it is. We got to get to
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: a ten wins, nine wins is great. Those are great
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: exciting times last week week before, all fun stuff. It
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: does not matter. We're in a tight division race right now.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: You got one game lead, but the Colts and the
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Texans and Texans are won five straight playing really good
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: football right behind us. And we got a challenging schedule
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: ahead of us, starting with the Jets, and so there's
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: nothing promised, there's nothing guaranteed. You got to go earn it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: And we got to go out there on Sunday and
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: having a full stadium of fans in there supporting this
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: team and getting excited make it hard for whoever's playing
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: quarterback for the Jets. Has advantaged to us.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: They call it home field Advanced for a reason, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: a big part of that is the fan base coming
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: out in supporting. It's gonna be a beautiful day. Only
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: guaranteed two more home games. Hopefully we can, you know,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: keep on playing as long as possible, but there's only
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: two more games guaranteed this season, and a big ones
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: this Sunday, all.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Right, So I wanted to go in one direction just
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: because I'm the president of the Brenton Strange Fan Club
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: and watching his film this past game. I mean talking dominant,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: dominant player, the way he finishes, the way he plays
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: a game, and a physical nature and it had to
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: be fun for you guys to watch that film too.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, As a member of the Brenton Strange Fan Club,
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: I can.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: Tell you that he is falling into the path that.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: By opening up the door for him to be the
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: tight end one we had hoped would show itself. And
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: that's obviously on him.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: He is leveled up in a way that, uh, you know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: is admirable.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: While at the same time, I don't think he's operating
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: outside of just who he is innately, and I.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: Can tell that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: It wasn't too big for him to start when he
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: first saw that, Hey, I'm coming in as.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: The go to guy at this position group.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: And he has certainly shown throughout the course of the
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: season what he's meant to our offensive operation. And I
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: think it's very clear that his energy, let alone just
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: to play, his energy.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: Is meaningful to how we operate.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: And uh, and I think it was trench Bully is
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: something that he sort of coins for himself and it
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: shows up. It's he leaves no doubt that, oh yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: trench Bully.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: That's what he's coined for himself.
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: As oh yeah, well I would I would think.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: That the film is the resume and that definitely aligns.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: If there were a chance for me to label Superpower
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: at this point, it would be that there is no doubt.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: There is no doubt.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: He's a physical guy who brings physicality to the team
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: into our offense. And obviously when he was out, we
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: missed him and it's good to have him back out there.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: And he does a great job in both the run
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: in the past and someone that Trevor trust in the
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: past game and he's earned that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: But let's give a lot of credit to that group
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: as a whole. Rich done a phenomenal job.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: Obviously a former player as a Jaguar, stepped into the
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: role as tight end coach here and has navigated injuries
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: not just to Renton but others throughout the course of
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: this season and haven't seen a massive drop off. We've
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: still been highly functional and seeing guys in that room
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: making plays not only on offense but also special teams.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: And you got a good rotation going right now to
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: where we can rely on all four of the guys
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: in that room to play their part, Brenton obviously leading
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: the way, and it's just been really cool to see
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: the maturation of that group as a whole, knowing that
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: it lost some veteran presence, you know, from seasons prior.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I think the impressive thing with that group, besides Brenton Strange,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: has been Look, you guys went in the offseason and
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: you signed Johnny Munt and Hunter Long, and you obviously
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: bring back Brenton is tight end number one. And here's
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: this guy on practice squad named Quinton Morris. You know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: just fighting for, you know, roster spot, trying to get
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: a job, gets elevated a couple times, and absolutely takes
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: advantage of it, plays lights out on special teams. And
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: then I go to the to the Chargers game to
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: where he played fantastic as a tight end, and he's
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: earned the right to be active on game day. He's
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: earned the right to be on the active roster. And
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: I just think that that I think should be looked
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: at from everybody in that locker room as this is
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: the kind of organization you want to play for, and
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: that if you earn the right to play, then you
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: get it. It's not that well, you know what, You're
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: not quite there yet, right, you know. And this is
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: a perfect example I think of what I think that
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: locker room probably appreciates is that it's earned and then
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: once it's earned, it's still there for you and it's
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: not going to be taken away just because you're not
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: a draft pick or you're not a free agent guy.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: You've earned it, right.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: No, I think that's a fair point to make, and
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: I'd like to think that that's something that we show
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: in our actions, not just our words, because many say
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: that the let's call it the best player, the best
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: group is going to be on the field, and that
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: doesn't always appear to be the case in some instances
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: when as we look at it right now, Quentin's not
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: the only example of people earning the op earning the
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: right to play or even play at a higher tick
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: or more higher volume. Right you got Matt Dickerson on
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: the defensive front, who found himself on the practice squad
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: for even a longer stretch than Quinton there before, now
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: find a way to earn a helmet through standard elevations
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: and now consistently as a member of the fifty three
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: man roster. And I think that shows itself in a
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: couple other spots. But the more that it shows up,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: the more, let's call it vivid visual, you have to
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: represent those words in real life. And I think that
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: that's something that we as a leadership group, were as
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: an organization, want to be the case, not only in
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: instance like that, but in everything that we do. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: when we say we want guys to be nothing more
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: than who they are, knowing that that's going to give
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: us the best output. Brenton Strange is a great example
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: of that. Right now, he feels like he has to
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: be nothing more than who he is innately and that
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: that's enough, that that's good enough, and he's thriving in
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: that headspace. And I think that many are beginning to
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: feel that come to life, not just be through what
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: we're messaging, but what we're acting on.
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: And I think that our.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: Family base will only continue to feel that throughout the
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: course of the season and in the off season.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: But I certainly hope that our players feel that as well.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Last thing, are you wearing an ev podcast sweatshirt?
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: Got to rep Hard r I P to the e
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: v P pod.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Did he puts you up to you? I did not.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, that was a request.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: It's not true, VP, I don't have one.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: He said, you can't let people forget about this thing.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: It's not true.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: The off season eventually.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: I'll get the Liam cuhen you know that's true because.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Because what no, what it's okay? I mean I just
• 26:31

  Speaker 2: Tony Basel, James Gladstone joining us. Look forward to the
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: ev podcast in the offseason, hopefully way after the Super
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Bowl run. This is a Jaggs HQ coming up in
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: about ten minutes. We'll have Ross Tucker of the NFL
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: on CBS with his view of the first year's success
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: for Liam Cohen and the Jags.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: This is the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: Welcome Back. Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: right now.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to this Jags A'SQ presented by Fresh from
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Florida on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the University
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: of Florida, number one university in the US News and
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: World Reports, number one state for education. JP Shadwick, Jeff Logman,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: a thanks to Tony Vasselli, James Gladstone joining us. Each
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: and every Thursday, the EVP and the GM respectively, and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: great insight to the psyche of the organization. Right now
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: heading into week fifteen at nine and four first place
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: the AFC South, what a leveling up going on.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I love that term.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Well, James definitely has terms for different things. And I've
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: heard so many other NFL people use that term superpower
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: now since James has been the first one to kind
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: of to kind of use it, and it seems like
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: others are catching on to some of his lingo, which
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: is pretty fun to see. But you know, that last
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: point that I brought up about Quinton Morris, I think
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: is important just from an organizational standpoint, and that you know,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: this football team, I think is doing a really good
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: job from the leadership positions. And things can't be fixed
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: or can't be better unless you're doing things the right way.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: And I think that that Quinton Morse thing is just
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: an example of doing things the right way. And I'll
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: go give you another one. You know, the Jaguars wide
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: receiver group was having a hard time holding on the
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: ball earlier in the year. Well what happens they Well,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: they trade for a guy who's got great hands and
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: then he elevates the room. He makes everybody else better,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: and that's what you have to have. You can't sit
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: back and just ignore issues and expect your guys to
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden transform into guys that are becoming
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the solution instead of having just been the problem. And
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I think that that's what's very different about this organization,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: and it's refreshing to see. It's fun to see, and
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: you can see that by taking the right actions and
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: making the right decisions, this team has been able to
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: thrive and it's an absolute blast to watch happen.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: It's fun, a lot of fun, but a lot of
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: work to be done. Still four games to go, and
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: every one of them counts. Nothing's been clenched yet for
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: this team, and that's very much because that's the truth,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, you're getting the opportunity to play
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: meaningful games. That's what you're promised, and that's fun. I mean,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: that's why you play the game. I mean, that's why
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: you work hard, is to have the opportunity to compete
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: for the title and to win. And that's what this
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: team is doing right now, and it's a lot of
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: fun to watch. Tuesday, December sixteenth, from five to six pm,

• 30:36
  Speaker 2: his first Jaguars game as a CBS announcer. He's done
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: him on radio before. But we'll hear from Ross, the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: former offensive lineman of the National Football You about the
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Jaguars offensive line changes. This seed is this Jags HQ
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: on Jaguars Radio.
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: Welcome Back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: right now.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, It is Jaggs h Q JP. Shadwick with
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: you on this Thursday afternoon. More Jeff Flagman coming up
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: shortly ahead of the Jets Jaguars matchup in week fifteen
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: this Sunday, one o'clock. The NFL on CBS will televise
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: the game again this week, Tom McCarthy unplay by play
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: for the first time this season, Ross Tucker, the analyst,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Tiffany Blackman on the sidelines. I caught up with Ross
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Tucker earlier today, former NFL offensive lineman, and they've had
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: changes on the offensive line here in Jacksonville. Tough to
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: find that continuity, but the Jaguars have found a way.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Well, it's not easy at all.
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: And I think continuity, chemistry some of the terms that
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: get thrown out there, those are real things, JP.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, I can just speak to that.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: You know, the more you play next to somebody, the
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: more comfortable you get with them, even like you and
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: I get a chance to do games on radio every
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: once in a while.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: You know, the second time we did a game, it
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: felt even better than the.
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: First time, and the third time, and the more you
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: and I get to do games together. That's just the
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: natural evolution of life, I think. And so for them
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: to be able to have guys in that lineup and
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: still to perform as well as they have, it's almost
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: like ever since Shad Khan hired Tony Basselli as the
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: Executive VP of Football Operations or whatever fancy title that
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: Tony has, you know, it's like it's like he sprinkled
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: his magic O line pixie dust on these guys. I mean,
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: let's not lose sight of the fact that Robert Hainsey
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: more or less was told by the Bucks that he
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: wasn't a starter.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: Patrick McCarry was more or less told by the Ravens, Hey,
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: we think you're a swing guy.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: Cole Van Landon, I mean, he might be the I
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: don't know what if they have team awards, but he
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: might be the most underappreciated, underrated player on the team.
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: He looked darn good at left tackle against the Colts.
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: He's played every spot, and so I think that's what
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: I appreciate as much as any is the makeup of
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: the offensive line.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: You know, somebody made a decision there.
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: I don't know how much of that's Baseli, how much
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: that's Cohen, how much of that's Gladstone. But they said
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: we're gonna get smart, tough, versatile guys in here, like McCarry,
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: like Hainsey, like Cole Van Lannon.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: And it has really paid off.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Ross Tucker with US Jaguars defense number one in the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: league against the run, and it's about all the Jets
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: have left in the tank as Bryce Hole. Right now,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: they're on their third quarterback, so they really don't have
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: a quarterback.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So this Jaguars defense is poised.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: To at least go again on paper, to have another
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: strong outing. What scares you here's the question about the
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Jets at three and ten? How can they win and
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: compete in this game? What scares you the most if
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: you're the Jaguars looking at the Jets this week?
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: A couple things. First of all, anytime a team is
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: a big underdog, it's turnovers. I think we know that,
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: so turnovers can always be the great equalizer in football
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: at any level. That's number one. That's kind of obvious.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: For this Jets team in particular. I'll give you three things.
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: Number one would be sort of the unknown, you know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: with having a guy making his you know, first starter
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: quarterback and everything that's going on there, you don't really
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: know what you're gonna get from Brady Cook.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, maybe he's the next Tom Brady.
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: I don't know, you know, I'm I'm I'm obviously it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: highly highly unlikely, But.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: The point remains, you don't really know what you have.
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: You don't have a lot of tape on him, I
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: also say he definitely showed some moxie, some poise. I
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: loved him at Missouri. I thought he was a super
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: fun college quarterback to watch. And I think part of
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: that's because he can really run. And so that's the
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: other thing that scares you as a defensive coordinator is
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: when you're going up against the team where the quarterbacks
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: legs can be a factor. So you got the unknown,
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: you got the legs being a fact, you got the turnovers.
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: And then the big one is special teams. You know,
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: they've won three ball games this year. They really won
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: two games primarily on special teams. We'll say entirely because
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: that's unfair to the other guys, but in large part
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: on special teams. That's the reason why they were able
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: to win those games. So that's the type of thing
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: that keeps coaches up at night because you think, gosh,
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: we can't let them, you know, block upon or return
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: a kick for a touchdown and somehow somehow blow a
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: game that we shouldn't lose because of that.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: For Ross Tucker NFL on CBS, st'll have the call
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: as the analysts this week. A lot of college football
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: this season on CBS, as well and the west Wood
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: One Radio so Ross Talker really good in terms of
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the trenches as well both sides of the football.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: You look forward to hearing him on Sunday.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: The full conversation on the Jaguars Podcast Network coming up
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: and count how to kick off this Sunday. Jeff Logoban return.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: After this is jags HQ on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: Welcome back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: right now it.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Is jags as Q Jap Shatterck which you have v
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Loghman back with us, says. The Jets and the Jaguars
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: meet up this Sunday at one o'clock and the season
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: isn't over. At Daly's Place, They're going out with a
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: bang this year. The Jonas Brothers are coming to Jacksonville
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: for an unforgettable night of sing along hits and.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: High energy performances.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Tuesday, December thirtieth, the last show of the season at
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Daily's Place, and tickets.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Are going fast.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Dailiesplace dot Com slash events are called nine oh four
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: six three three two thousand. Well, we just heard from
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Ross Tucker there about the offensive line. I think the
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: way they've played in the past protection game. It's now
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: four games this year they have not allowed a sack,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: and I think the second game they even haven't even
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: allowed a quarterback hit. Coming off that game last week
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: against the Colts, that has a hand in what the
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: quarterback Tever Lawrence was able to do with confidence down
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: the field last week.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Four deep passes, one in each quarter.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: It may not be in his highest completions and attempts
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: in yardage game, but it was effective and that's a
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: good sign for a guy now who's had back to
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: back one hundred rating games.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was. It was big, you know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: those big plays. You know, if you look at statistics
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: will always tell you that when you have explosive plays,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: they lead to points. And he had throws of twenty six,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: twenty nine, thirty, thirty seven, and thirty nine in that
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: ball game. And so when you have plays like that,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you're able to score a season high thirty six points,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: and that's what you're looking for. And I thought he
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: was great, you know, And before the game, we talked
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: in our broadcast about how he needs to be on
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: his game, and that includes getting the Jaguars in the
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: right play protecting the football with the weather conditions as
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: they were, and then it's a quarterback leading he's got
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: to make plays all the above. He checked every single
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: box in that game that he could possibly check. And
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: you got to give the offensive line some credit for
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: their past protection, because you're right. I mean, the protection
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: was really good and cole Van Lannon was a big
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: part of that at left tackle. I think he did
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: a fantastic job. I think they can be better in
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: some other areas upfront, and they could have been better
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: running the football, that's for sure. But when you need
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: it at the most, your quarterback played his best and
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: that's exactly what you want as you're coming down the
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: stretch and this week, I don't think the recipe is
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: any different. Protect the football, get the Jaguars offense in
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: the right play, make sure that you can find some
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: explosive plays, as Liam Cohne says, make them cover every
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: blade of grass. And if you can do those things,
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: you're going to be the jestin.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence was at his best in his career in
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: that stretch run in twenty twenty two, and when the
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Jaguars course made the run to the playoffs, he had
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: a three game streak of one hundred plus rating games
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: in that season, and five out of six in that
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: stretch as they turned the corner in December, and he's
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: looking for three in a row for the second time
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: in his career if he can put it up this
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: week and against this New York Jets defense that's a
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: little deficient.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: And I think the good thing too, is that you know,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: he's made some things happen with his legs. But the
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: thing that's always made me nervous about Trevor when he's
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: decided to run is that avoiding the contact. And I
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: think lately he's done a very good job of avoiding
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: the contact when he's been running, and that's obviously incredibly
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: important for availability, and so that's been really good to see.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: But this this game, though, I know that the Jets
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: are gonna come out, they're going to be ready to
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: try and stop the run. It's a point of emphasis.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Their head coach Aaron Glenn has been asked about it
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: all week, their defensive players have been asked about it
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: all week, and it's gonna be something that the Jets
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: are gonna get a heavy dose of because the reality
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: is the NFL can be a copycat league at times,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: and when you show that you've had issues with some
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: gap integrity, the Jaguars are going to do some things
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: to test that gap integrity. And they've got an inside
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: linebacker in Sherwood who seems to be struggling a little
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: bit and they're not paying him to struggle and he's
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: been the focus of some of those struggles in New
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: York and so we'll see how he plays this week.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: We're back in a moment.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: We'll get our final thoughts ahead of this Jets Jaguars matchup.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: The Jags have not clinched anything yet, they're feeling disrespected
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: as well. They got to prove it this week to
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: get at home against the Jets.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: It's Jags HQ on Jaguars Radio.

  Speaker 2: It is a very important weekend in the NFL and
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of really good games coming up, in important games,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: certainly in the AFC. The Texans are at home against
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Will keep an eye on that game, of course,
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, the Chargers at the Chiefs, that's it one
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: o'clock as well. The Bills are at the Patriots at
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: one o'clock. I mean, those are all massive games in
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: the AFC at the one o'clock window.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: And the game tonight not so much.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, you don't like this one today? Falcons at Buccaneers.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, the bummer is.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: A big game for the Buccaneers. But you know, and
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is at the home for the Atlanta Falcons.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: But the Atlanta Falcons are out. Could be changing coming
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: in Atlanta too, No, No, I mean could be, but
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't expect it. But but look, I
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: like watching Baker Mayfield.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: I think he's got swagger about him. I love the
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: way he plays the game. So I mean, for me,
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: that makes that a good football game to watch just
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: because of Baker Mayfield. Is Evan's gonna play, by the way,
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: I have no idea paid attention I'll be watching that.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not a great matchup, but I like
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: it just because Kirk Cousins got an opportunity to show
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: that he still play and Baker Mayfield. I think that's
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: to me that makes it worth watching.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Buccaneers have activated Mike Evans, Angel McMillan from I are
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: advansive today.
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: Good yeah, good.
