- 1:16Speaker 2: this Jaguars tak you know, you know what's going on
- 1:19Speaker 2: around this team winning? Yeah, yeah, five and three.
- 1:23Speaker 3: I love the additions too. So there's a lot going on.
- 1:25Speaker 2: We're gonna get to all of it. Let's begin with
- 1:28Speaker 2: the game. It was nine to six after three quarters
- 1:32Speaker 2: in all hell broke loose in the fourth quarter at
- 1:34Speaker 2: overtime thirty to twenty nine, Jaguars win on a tipped
- 1:39Speaker 2: ball at the defensive line with the guy wide opening
- 1:42Speaker 2: the back of the gain zone on the two point
- 1:43Speaker 2: play the Jaguars his first time in league history both
- 1:46Speaker 2: teams have scored a touchdown in overtime. By the way, Yeah, no.
- 1:49Speaker 4: It was.
- 1:50Speaker 3: It was unbelieved. I didn't know that either, but it was.
- 1:53Speaker 3: It was really great competition as far as.
- 1:55Speaker 2: That's concerned, and guys having us step in the lineup
- 1:59Speaker 2: that weren't expected to play. Injuries at mid games, there's
- 2:03Speaker 2: a lot of them. Now, I mean that you could
- 2:04Speaker 2: go all day on those guys.
- 2:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean from defensive back, offensive line, wide receiver
- 2:11Speaker 5: was a big one receiver and.
- 2:12Speaker 2: The wide receiver one.
- 2:13Speaker 5: It was even impacted before the game even began, you know,
- 2:16Speaker 5: with the injury to Travis Hunter and practice during the week.
- 2:19Speaker 2: So yeah, so it was cool. It was cool to see.
- 2:21Speaker 5: I mean, anytime you get that kind of a of
- 2:24Speaker 5: a performance from the guys that step in, you know,
- 2:26Speaker 5: there's a philosophy, Duff, and you've known this. You've probably
- 2:30Speaker 5: told guys forever about hey, next man up, next man up, right, sure,
- 2:34Speaker 5: you know, but the reality is is that when you
- 2:36Speaker 5: go from you know, a starter to a backup, it's
- 2:39Speaker 5: never going to be the same quality. But when guys
- 2:42Speaker 5: actually step in and make plays to the level of
- 2:45Speaker 5: the guy that was in there and then in some
- 2:47Speaker 5: cases may be a little bit better, that's impressive.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Oh no, it was very impressive. I mean when you
- 2:51Speaker 3: see what the receivers did in particular, and not only
- 2:54Speaker 3: in the offense, but in the return game two. I mean,
- 2:57Speaker 3: you know, everybody's went anxious for that opportunity one, that
- 3:00Speaker 3: opportunity and you want to make the most of it,
- 3:02Speaker 3: and a lot of the guys did do that in
- 3:03Speaker 3: the game against the Raiders. So it was awesome.
- 3:05Speaker 2: The Austin tram Will kick returnchment.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, it's awesome.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I mean, you know how about that.
- 3:11Speaker 5: You're you're an overtime You're a guy that literally just
- 3:14Speaker 5: got elevated off with the practice squad. You're really not
- 3:17Speaker 5: expected to be back d but they put him back
- 3:19Speaker 5: there because the Diambie Brown has an injury, and of
- 3:23Speaker 5: course they're going to kick to them because teams are
- 3:25Speaker 5: staying awake from kicking the ball to baseial two. And
- 3:29Speaker 5: what I loved about the play was, first of all,
- 3:31Speaker 5: it was blocked in exceptional form, I mean just perfect.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I mean, you can't go to a.
- 3:37Speaker 5: Grease board and draw it up. Let's go old school
- 3:40Speaker 5: to duf when he was growing up, go to the blackboard, chalkboard, right.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I get it.
- 3:50Speaker 5: Here, and you sit there and you draw it up.
- 3:53Speaker 5: You know, you double two guys in the middle. Then
- 3:54Speaker 5: you leave three guys unblocked. You know, so you leave
- 3:57Speaker 5: the kicker and then you leave your two kind of
- 3:59Speaker 5: safety valve guys unblocked. And the thing that impressed me
- 4:04Speaker 5: the most is is that, look, it takes great courage
- 4:07Speaker 5: for a kick returner to hit a return with speed
- 4:11Speaker 5: because last time I checked, there's some guys that got
- 4:14Speaker 5: some bad intentions coming the opposite way with Jack you up.
- 4:17Speaker 5: And he hit that thing with speed and hit it perfectly,
- 4:22Speaker 5: and I give him a lot of credit. I mean
- 4:24Speaker 5: the blocking was great as well, but the way he
- 4:28Speaker 5: hit that thing was was a thing of beauty.
- 4:30Speaker 3: And did we need it. I mean, my god, it was.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I mean it was like it was like the good Lord.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I'm saying as I'm watching this, I'm going this may
- 4:37Speaker 3: go all the way, but I mean it was. It
- 4:39Speaker 3: was big plays when we needed the most. Well done.
- 4:41Speaker 2: And then in that possession and overtime, they ran the
- 4:45Speaker 2: ball eight of nine plays on the drive, including the
- 4:47Speaker 2: last seven they had it. Yeah, I mean, I mean
- 4:52Speaker 2: that is well. They kind of were forced to allutle
- 4:55Speaker 2: it because the receivers are different and you know what,
- 4:58Speaker 2: and coach Cohen said this earlier the week, Yeah, you
- 5:01Speaker 2: know what, let's just run the ball and play some
- 5:03Speaker 2: offense here, and they just pushed the ball down the field.
- 5:06Speaker 2: It was a gritty run game effort. I think all day.
- 5:09Speaker 3: What a tremendous effort by the offensive line in that
- 5:12Speaker 3: end of two running backs. I mean, really, now, those
- 5:14Speaker 3: two guys you talk about coming to play. ETN had
- 5:17Speaker 3: a phenomenal game, made a lot of guys miss broke tackles,
- 5:20Speaker 3: tooting himself, I mean, I mean even William I think
- 5:23Speaker 3: he got in there. But I mean, I'm just telling
- 5:24Speaker 3: you the line in terms of knocking people off the ball.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Like I said, when we had to have it and
- 5:29Speaker 3: everybody in the ballpark and at home knew that we
- 5:31Speaker 3: were going to run it, it was well done.
- 5:33Speaker 2: I was kind of nervous.
- 5:34Speaker 5: When Logan Cook goes out for the overtime coin toss,
- 5:40Speaker 5: he picks tails, we win, and then we elect to
- 5:43Speaker 5: take the ball. I mean, the normal train of thought
- 5:47Speaker 5: which has been so far with the new rules, which
- 5:49Speaker 5: there's been i think three games prior to this one,
- 5:51Speaker 5: every team has chosen to let the opponent go first,
- 5:55Speaker 5: knowing that they would have a possession unless the safety happened,
- 5:59Speaker 5: so that they could know what they had to do.
- 6:02Speaker 5: And so I was talking a little bit about that
- 6:04Speaker 5: in our broadcast and I was like, this is an
- 6:06Speaker 5: interesting decision. But the reason, and I loved Liam's train
- 6:10Speaker 5: of thought and that he wanted to go first to
- 6:15Speaker 5: be able to just eat clock eat clock, and that's
- 6:19Speaker 5: exactly what they did, because the style of play that
- 6:22Speaker 5: they play offense with, the more time the better for them,
- 6:26Speaker 5: I think. But then also look, if you end up
- 6:29Speaker 5: eating up a lot of clock, the less time is
- 6:31Speaker 5: left on the clock for your opponent, which you know,
- 6:34Speaker 5: I wish the defense had done a little better job
- 6:36Speaker 5: and kind of making them kind of come down to
- 6:38Speaker 5: where it was a you know, time was an issue,
- 6:41Speaker 5: but that wasn't really the case for the Raiders. But
- 6:44Speaker 5: I thought that for the for the way that the
- 6:46Speaker 5: Jaguars play football, I thought that was a really good
- 6:50Speaker 5: coaching decision at that moment in time.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Well, and I think it was a tremendous statement too,
- 6:56Speaker 3: of confidence too that that by God, we're gonna go
- 6:59Speaker 3: out and we're gonna take this. We're going to run
- 7:00Speaker 3: the clock, we're going to get the ball down there,
- 7:02Speaker 3: and we're to score and win. So I mean, I
- 7:03Speaker 3: think it was a statement of a lot of things, physicality,
- 7:07Speaker 3: confidence in the offense, confidence in the line, a lot
- 7:09Speaker 3: of positives.
- 7:10Speaker 5: We were me and JP were talking earlier, Duffy and
- 7:14Speaker 5: you kind of made mention of this just a minute ago,
- 7:17Speaker 5: and because we had a great conversation about this at length,
- 7:21Speaker 5: I thought that this was arguably one of, if not
- 7:25Speaker 5: the best performance by ETN in his career, and not
- 7:29Speaker 5: because the numbers were just you know, magical, like two
- 7:32Speaker 5: years ago in London, JP, what's the bills?
- 7:35Speaker 2: Bills?
- 7:36Speaker 5: We wrote this down thirty touches, one hundred and eighty
- 7:38Speaker 5: four yards and two touchdowns. But the hard yards that
- 7:43Speaker 5: he got in this game I thought was just outstanding
- 7:47Speaker 5: because he was running so hard and JP looked it up.
- 7:52Speaker 5: He had nine misstackles forced forty three yards after those
- 7:58Speaker 5: misstackles were forced, his total numbers twenty seven touches for
- 8:02Speaker 5: only one hundred and fifteen yards. That's I mean, that's
- 8:05Speaker 5: I say only just because compared to you know, the
- 8:08Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty four that he had in London
- 8:10Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, it pales in comparison. But
- 8:13Speaker 5: I would put this performance at the top because his
- 8:17Speaker 5: team needed it, and when the game was on the line,
- 8:21Speaker 5: down the end stretch, him and also Bagel two both
- 8:23Speaker 5: had big runs. But man, the hard yards that he
- 8:26Speaker 5: got in this game I thought was just a great effort.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, you felt the guy in this game.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I mean you could feel it the way this guy
- 8:35Speaker 3: was playing and like you said, I mean make yards
- 8:37Speaker 3: after contact were unbelievable, kept churning, spinning. I mean, the
- 8:43Speaker 3: effort and energy that he put forth was outstanding.
- 8:46Speaker 5: There was a play JP and I did it in
- 8:48Speaker 5: the film room this week, and it was on that
- 8:50Speaker 5: last overtime drive and it's kind of like a toss
- 8:55Speaker 5: stretch play. And so each hand is trying to press
- 9:00Speaker 5: the outside. And the reason you press the outside because
- 9:03Speaker 5: you know, if you're trying to run his own and
- 9:05Speaker 5: find a creek, so you kind of like an accordion, right,
- 9:08Speaker 5: you kind of pull it apart, you know, to try
- 9:10Speaker 5: to get everything stretched thin is the accordion.
- 9:16Speaker 2: I don't, but I mean.
- 9:17Speaker 3: I kind of been like one at times because.
- 9:19Speaker 5: Trying to give people a visual, all right, I mean
- 9:21Speaker 5: you know or you know, you got the old vertical blinds, right,
- 9:25Speaker 5: you spread them all the way across and then when
- 9:27Speaker 5: you turn it somewhere you get these gaps that open up. Well,
- 9:30Speaker 5: that's what kind of the whole process is for a
- 9:32Speaker 5: running back. You're trying to find a gap, and and
- 9:35Speaker 5: each hand really sold the outside, and when he did,
- 9:38Speaker 5: he got the Raiders defense fast flowing, and then he
- 9:41Speaker 5: got a great backside seal from two guys, Cole van
- 9:44Speaker 5: Landon who was in for the injured out of Cleveland,
- 9:47Speaker 5: and also Walker Little who had a tough game but
- 9:49Speaker 5: had an excellent block right there. And then eat N
- 9:52Speaker 5: plants his foot and come downhill and has I think
- 9:55Speaker 5: it's like a ten or eleven yard game or maybe
- 9:57Speaker 5: even bigger that, and then I think Tooton follows it
- 9:59Speaker 5: up with another ten or eleven yard gain. I mean,
- 10:01Speaker 5: that was just a great play. And that was also
- 10:04Speaker 5: a great example of a guy stepping into making a
- 10:07Speaker 5: play because that was Cole van landa well, and it was.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Very discouraging on that other side of the ball when
- 10:12Speaker 3: you got a team that's running it down your throat
- 10:14Speaker 3: and chunks of yards. I mean that they were breaking
- 10:17Speaker 3: the back of the Raiders. And so I mean, again, excellent,
- 10:20Speaker 3: excellent effort really and then again I just I the
- 10:24Speaker 3: vision that Etn I think is continuing to gain. And
- 10:27Speaker 3: you know, I don't know if it's this season or what.
- 10:29Speaker 3: All I knew to know is that a lot of
- 10:31Speaker 3: those plays that you just defined, maybe he wasn't seen before.
- 10:34Speaker 3: He certainly saw it against the Raiders.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Yeah, nice game. Pr production is the official production company

- 10:48Speaker 2: point five FM, JP Shadwick, Jeff Logoman, coach Mark Duffner
- 10:51Speaker 2: with us in studio. And of course after the game
- 10:54Speaker 2: the Jaguars had played against U Kobe Myers, the wide
- 10:56Speaker 2: receiver for the Raiders, and then three days later he's
- 10:59Speaker 2: in the jag War's locker room. After the trade deadline,
- 11:02Speaker 2: moved to send two draft picks, a fourth and a
- 11:04Speaker 2: sixth rounder next year to Vegas to get Myers. The
- 11:07Speaker 2: injuries had a hand in that, but Myers really a
- 11:10Speaker 2: sure handed receiver in his career, was an undrafted player
- 11:14Speaker 2: out of North Carolina State with the Patriots for a
- 11:16Speaker 2: number of years, and now in Vegas for the Raiders.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Of course, now with the Jacksonville Jaguars. How difficult is
- 11:22Speaker 2: it to get a receiver up to speed quickly when
- 11:26Speaker 2: you make an end season trade.
- 11:28Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you this guy's a bright guy. He's
- 11:30Speaker 3: got a really good reputation across the league. I mean,
- 11:33Speaker 3: you know last year and their team, he was their
- 11:36Speaker 3: number one guy, to my knowledge, he didn't have a
- 11:39Speaker 3: drop last year, and he was a guy that was dependable, accountable,
- 11:42Speaker 3: was smart, would get dirty in terms of blocking. So
- 11:45Speaker 3: Number one, he's smart. I think he'll adapt quickly. And
- 11:48Speaker 3: then here we got another bonus is Edgar Bennett coached team.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Edgar Bennett our receiver coach coach team last year, so
- 11:53Speaker 3: there's a connection there. They'll be able to very quickly
- 11:57Speaker 3: assimilate things that are similar that he couldn't have done
- 12:00Speaker 3: somewhere else. So I think the fit is unbelievable right now.
- 12:03Speaker 3: So I see this guy coming in. Great pickup by
- 12:06Speaker 3: our team, I think in terms of a needy position
- 12:09Speaker 3: for us, and we got a guy that's going to
- 12:11Speaker 3: come in and be producer.
- 12:12Speaker 5: Going into that Raiders game, I was kind of curious,
- 12:16Speaker 5: you know, I always go to the opposing team's website
- 12:18Speaker 5: to see different interviews, you know, coaches, et cetera.
- 12:21Speaker 2: And I saw that there was an interview from Jacoby Myers,
- 12:25Speaker 2: and I said.
- 12:26Speaker 5: Well, this is the guy that asked for the trade.
- 12:27Speaker 5: Let me just go watch this interview. Him pressed the
- 12:31Speaker 5: hell out of me just how professional he was. I mean,
- 12:34Speaker 5: here's a guy that you know has let it be
- 12:35Speaker 5: known that he wanted to be traded, but he handled
- 12:38Speaker 5: it with such class and dignity. I don't think anybody's
- 12:40Speaker 5: ever handled a situation like that the way he's handled it.
- 12:44Speaker 5: And I just remember thinking to myself at the time.
- 12:48Speaker 5: I was like, Man, this guy's got a good head
- 12:50Speaker 5: on his shoulders, you know, and not many guys in
- 12:52Speaker 5: that situation handle it with that level of maturity and respect.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that. And so you're getting a peer
- 13:00Speaker 3: is a very high attitude guy, a good attitude guy.
- 13:03Speaker 3: In addition, a guy that's been a producer.
- 13:05Speaker 2: What do you call that? Intangibly rich? Yeah, Kpe. We'll
- 13:09Speaker 2: be talking to Gladstone about.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Right, because I bet you he says that to you know,
- 13:13Speaker 3: I I bet that's a good pickup now, I'm telling you.
- 13:16Speaker 2: And we'll see how how fast he can get up
- 13:18Speaker 2: to speed. And he'll be out there on Sunday for
- 13:21Speaker 2: the Jaguars against the Texans. We'll come back in a
- 13:24Speaker 2: moment and dig into the Texans. Mark Dufter scouting report
- 13:27Speaker 2: both sides of the ball, Keys to victory. All that
- 13:31Speaker 2: as a head on Tenenex Almaty two point five FM
- 13:34Speaker 2: Jaguars Dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. It is Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 13:45Speaker 6: From a game plan, I know, you know they've done
- 13:46Speaker 6: a little bit more jumbo and you know being able
- 13:49Speaker 6: to run the football with Woody and doing a nice
- 13:52Speaker 6: job that way, So expect a similar plan in ways.
- 13:56Speaker 6: It's more so maybe the mobility from CJ that he
- 13:59Speaker 6: can by at times extending plays on the boot game,
- 14:03Speaker 6: getting him out on the perimeter and maybe being able
- 14:06Speaker 6: to use his legs as a weapon as well.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Head coach William Cohen earlier this week, welcome back. It
- 14:12Speaker 2: is Jaguars Happy Hour and you're invited to the official

- 14:29Speaker 2: and studio with us on this Thursday the Hyundai Studios,
- 14:32Speaker 2: the Miller Electric Center, ten ten XL ninety two point
- 14:35Speaker 2: five FM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, Jaguars Texans coming up,
- 14:39Speaker 2: and the Texans will not have their quarterback. CJ. Stroud
- 14:43Speaker 2: is in concussion protocol, So Davis Mills gets the call
- 14:47Speaker 2: and we'll start. He finished last week's game, of course,
- 14:50Speaker 2: after Stroud was injured. So you know, what, what do
- 14:55Speaker 2: you see in Davis Mills and how do you support
- 14:59Speaker 2: a backup quarter back with scheme and play calling stuff.
- 15:02Speaker 3: Well, I would say, first they you know, they've got
- 15:04Speaker 3: confidence in this guy. They came out first snap he
- 15:06Speaker 3: was in, They threw the football. I mean, he was
- 15:08Speaker 3: seventeen out of thirty throwing the ball last week, so
- 15:11Speaker 3: they came out throwing. In fact, he had six straight
- 15:13Speaker 3: completions during the course of the game. So there is
- 15:15Speaker 3: a level of confidence in this guy. Now, when you
- 15:20Speaker 3: delve a little deeper in the background, he's five and
- 15:22Speaker 3: nineteen as a starter, he's about a fifty two percent
- 15:25Speaker 3: career completion guy, and he's you know, he's had like
- 15:28Speaker 3: thirty five passing touchdowns, twenty five interceptions, not exactly all
- 15:32Speaker 3: star numbers, and he's got limited escapabilities. He got sacked
- 15:35Speaker 3: twice last week. So I think what they've got to
- 15:37Speaker 3: do to help him, you know, in terms of not
- 15:40Speaker 3: just throwing the football, but they got to establish their
- 15:42Speaker 3: running game, which has been a little bit on the downside.
- 15:45Speaker 3: As far as that's concerned, they got to utilize tempo.
- 15:47Speaker 3: I think that you got to use utilized cadence to
- 15:51Speaker 3: change that up to help him and then play action
- 15:53Speaker 3: pass screens, quick throws, things like that to get him going.
- 15:57Speaker 3: So that's what I would look for from this guy.
- 16:00Speaker 3: But he's a you know, I watched him during the
- 16:02Speaker 3: course of the game closely, and he he is a
- 16:05Speaker 3: confident guy. I think he's a guy that prepares well.
- 16:09Speaker 3: But again, I you know, I think we've got to
- 16:10Speaker 3: affect this guy in a big time way with rush
- 16:13Speaker 3: coverage the whole nine yards and and uh, I think
- 16:16Speaker 3: that'll be a factors as we move forward.
- 16:17Speaker 5: He's got a winning record against the Jags, right, I mean,
- 16:21Speaker 5: you know, while a while and last time I checked,
- 16:25Speaker 5: he's got a number one defense to back him up.
- 16:27Speaker 3: He does have that, that's for darn sher very good defense.
- 16:30Speaker 5: When you got the number one defense of the National
- 16:33Speaker 5: Football League and yards allowed and points allowed, you you know,
- 16:37Speaker 5: it's a little bit easier to play quarterback with those
- 16:39Speaker 5: type of metrics behind you, so to speak. But look,
- 16:45Speaker 5: he's got some some very good weapons. They've got a
- 16:47Speaker 5: good tight end, they've got Nico Collins, who's a really
- 16:50Speaker 5: good player. They got Christian Kirk who's solid, got one
- 16:53Speaker 5: of those security blanket type of guys. But when you've
- 16:57Speaker 5: got Nico Collins and in an a number one d defense,
- 17:00Speaker 5: you got a chance.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Yeah you do. And I'm with you all the way
- 17:03Speaker 3: on that. But but even up to this point, they've
- 17:05Speaker 3: kind of been a middle of the road offense, as
- 17:07Speaker 3: you said, they've the headliner for them has been their defense,
- 17:10Speaker 3: which is outstanding. I mean across the board. They're ranked
- 17:13Speaker 3: in the top five in every category in every category. Offensively, though,
- 17:18Speaker 3: struggling on third down I think they're like thirty first.
- 17:20Speaker 3: Struggling in the red zone they're thirty seconds. So I mean,
- 17:23Speaker 3: you know, this is a good, good opportunity for our
- 17:26Speaker 3: defense to gang.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Up on them. How's the O line in Houston? Not great?
- 17:31Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, not great, But you know, offensive lines
- 17:35Speaker 5: get better if you can run the ball. So I mean,
- 17:36Speaker 5: obviously that's got to be kind of the whole emphasis
- 17:39Speaker 5: with the Jaguars defensively, stopping and running that way, you
- 17:42Speaker 5: put more pressure on a guy who hasn't played a lot.
- 17:44Speaker 5: The best thing about not having CJ. Stroud out there though,
- 17:47Speaker 5: is that he's got an arm that can make every
- 17:49Speaker 5: throw on the planet from any angle position whatsoever, and
- 17:55Speaker 5: they don't have that now, right, you know.
- 17:57Speaker 2: So that's a that's a huge, huge advantage for the Jaguars.
- 18:00Speaker 3: And you know, one other things they've done to supplement
- 18:02Speaker 3: their offense. They've gone to some people call it jumbo,
- 18:05Speaker 3: people call it tea personnel. They bring a tackling like
- 18:08Speaker 3: we've been doing. And they've been trying to support their
- 18:10Speaker 3: running game and play action pass game with a similar
- 18:13Speaker 3: offensive personnel grouping. So again our familiar aarity with that
- 18:18Speaker 3: not only in practice but during course of the season.
- 18:20Speaker 3: All that I think will help us as far as
- 18:22Speaker 3: that's concerned. But that tells you a little something about
- 18:24Speaker 3: their blocking in their line and everything else when they
- 18:27Speaker 3: resort to that.
- 18:28Speaker 2: From a Jaguars perspective, Devin Lloyd expected to be back
- 18:31Speaker 2: in the lineup this week. He's been on the practice
- 18:32Speaker 2: field this week. He's confident in the locker room, he's
- 18:35Speaker 2: ready to go. So what can that do for this
- 18:37Speaker 2: Jaguars defense up front? If he's back on the field. Guys,
- 18:41Speaker 2: I mean all star, just playing and simple. He's been
- 18:44Speaker 2: a takeaway machine. You know, and he's missed the last
- 18:47Speaker 2: two games. And if you look at the Jaguars as
- 18:51Speaker 2: a team, look where they have like ten takeaways in
- 18:54Speaker 2: the first four games, you know, in the last four games,
- 18:56Speaker 2: they've only had a couple correct And part of that
- 18:59Speaker 2: is that Devin Lloyd he's been out of the lineup.
- 19:01Speaker 2: So I think it's big to get him back. I
- 19:03Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna all of a sudden make this
- 19:05Speaker 2: team get four takeaways or anything like that. But look,
- 19:09Speaker 2: having good football players on the field, especially when you're
- 19:11Speaker 2: talking about pressuring the quarterback, because that's a that's a
- 19:14Speaker 2: weakness right now for that Jaguars defense. And Devin has
- 19:18Speaker 2: been the linebacker that has been able to help that
- 19:22Speaker 2: pass rush when they do blitz because he's a really
- 19:25Speaker 2: good athletic blitzer. No offense de Foyer or Ventrel, but
- 19:30Speaker 2: that's not their forte. So when the Jaguars do bring
- 19:34Speaker 2: an extra guy or they bring a zone dog to
- 19:37Speaker 2: still only make it for guys, Devon's gonna help a
- 19:41Speaker 2: lot in that category.
- 19:42Speaker 3: I did it that enthusiastically. I mean when you look
- 19:45Speaker 3: at the numbers when he's been in the lineup, they
- 19:47Speaker 3: were you know, the takeaways. The sacks were in the
- 19:50Speaker 3: positive direction and without without him in the lineup on
- 19:53Speaker 3: the negative side. So he can he can force the
- 19:56Speaker 3: issue in the run game, he can force the issue
- 19:58Speaker 3: in the takeaway game. He can force his you in
- 20:00Speaker 3: pressure game. And all those are going to be I
- 20:02Speaker 3: think added components that Anthony Campanili's going to want to utilize.
- 20:07Speaker 2: This is Jaguars happy hour or taking a look at
- 20:09Speaker 2: the Houston Texas this week, the Week ten opponent in
- 20:12Speaker 2: ourg Stadium in Houston, the site one o'clock Sunday for
- 20:15Speaker 2: the five and three Jaguars on the road, and they're
- 20:20Speaker 2: facing the number one defense in the National Football League
- 20:22Speaker 2: in the Houston Texas. They ranked number one in total
- 20:25Speaker 2: d number one in scoring, and they're high and many
- 20:28Speaker 2: of the other metrics as well. Duff, Why are they
- 20:31Speaker 2: so talented and how are they different at all than
- 20:35Speaker 2: they were back maybe week three?
- 20:37Speaker 3: I think they're probably even a little better, to be
- 20:39Speaker 3: honest with you, and they were darn good at that time.
- 20:41Speaker 3: I mean, but they've got speed and athletics is at
- 20:43Speaker 3: all three levels, the front, the linebackers, in the back end.
- 20:46Speaker 3: I mean, this is an athletic recoverability, fast defense, and
- 20:52Speaker 3: as I said, they can generate pressure with just four guys.
- 20:55Speaker 3: I mean really, I mean their productions has been outstanding
- 20:59Speaker 3: when they're one of I think seven teams in the
- 21:02Speaker 3: league right now that have allowed less than five yards
- 21:04Speaker 3: per play. And and that's that's talking team defense. I
- 21:08Speaker 3: mean they're I mean they limit the points. They're they're
- 21:12Speaker 3: top three in in in past possession time. They've limited
- 21:16Speaker 3: that third down defense. I mean they're really they're really
- 21:19Speaker 3: playing good ball. The area we got to attack them
- 21:22Speaker 3: when we get the chances in the red zone. They've
- 21:24Speaker 3: struggled down there on defense. But Jeezel, they've got They've
- 21:27Speaker 3: got players across the board, and I'm excited about watching
- 21:31Speaker 3: them play because I mean it's a if you want
- 21:33Speaker 3: to see a good defense, this groups, this group can
- 21:35Speaker 3: show it to you.
- 21:36Speaker 2: You bring up the reds on you.
- 21:37Speaker 5: You got to get there first.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I'm with you on that, But my god, we're going
- 21:43Speaker 3: to do it.
- 21:45Speaker 2: That's analysis.
- 21:46Speaker 5: The one thing too, I will add I made this
- 21:50Speaker 5: comment earlier today we're having a conversation. I think it
- 21:52Speaker 5: might have been with you JP that I don't think
- 21:56Speaker 5: the Jaguars have had a more physical game than the
- 22:02Speaker 5: meeting against the Texans the first time around yet this year.
- 22:04Speaker 2: I mean, I think that was the number.
- 22:06Speaker 5: One Black and Blue game of the year to where
- 22:09Speaker 5: the Texans were physical, the Jaguars were physical. It was
- 22:13Speaker 5: one of those games where you just want to give
- 22:14Speaker 5: your team, you know, Monday off and say, hey, you know,
- 22:17Speaker 5: get treatment. We'll see you on Wednesday, just because I
- 22:20Speaker 5: know you guys are beat up and I expect the
- 22:23Speaker 5: same type of game against this Texans team, and Duff
- 22:28Speaker 5: through it just to be to add to this to this,
- 22:29Speaker 5: because Duff threw out some stats on their defense, and
- 22:32Speaker 5: I'll give people the rundowns a quick rundown synopsis.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Here.
- 22:36Speaker 5: Number one in points allowed, Number one in total defense,
- 22:39Speaker 5: and that's yards, six against the rush, fourth against the pass,
- 22:45Speaker 5: third and third down efficiency, fourth and takeaways.
- 22:49Speaker 2: I mean, that's crazy numbers. It's crazy numbers.
- 22:53Speaker 5: You know, there's not many teams in the league that
- 22:54Speaker 5: have been able to have that type of defense. And
- 22:58Speaker 5: this is a legit defense. You know, there's some teams
- 23:01Speaker 5: that have an inflated number defense just because they have
- 23:04Speaker 5: an offense that might be very poor and so the
- 23:07Speaker 5: opponent doesn't put the foot on the gas so to speak.
- 23:10Speaker 2: That ain't the case with the Texans.
- 23:11Speaker 5: This is a legit strong defense in the National Football League.
- 23:16Speaker 3: And to answer your early statement, they're ascending right now.
- 23:19Speaker 3: The takeaways that Jeff just talked about, they've gotten ten,
- 23:23Speaker 3: which is number one in the league since Week five
- 23:25Speaker 3: and you know in the schedule, So I mean they're
- 23:27Speaker 3: ascending right now as far as that's concerned. So, like
- 23:30Speaker 3: Jeff said, we're going to get their best shot eight
- 23:32Speaker 3: no if, hands or butts about that.
- 23:34Speaker 2: There are a handful of starting defensive players on the
- 23:36Speaker 2: injury report, at least on Wednesday. The Thursday one is
- 23:39Speaker 2: not out yet. We'll get that to you when it
- 23:40Speaker 2: does come down. But Will Anderson the defensive end, and
- 23:43Speaker 2: Nico Autry defensive end did not practice on Wednesday. Jalen
- 23:47Speaker 2: Petrie the safety and nickel corner in the concussion protocol,
- 23:50Speaker 2: he's probably not gonna play. So that's a bit of
- 23:54Speaker 2: a little bit of a blow. And they also have
- 23:55Speaker 2: a backup kicker, matthew Wright former Jaguars, gonna kick for them,
- 23:58Speaker 2: maybe especial to that made a decision. They had him
- 24:02Speaker 2: in the locker room.
- 24:03Speaker 3: Oh wow, Well, he's he's an eighty seven percent field
- 24:05Speaker 3: you know field one percentage. Guy pounced around in the league.
- 24:08Speaker 3: But he's no slouch either.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Now he's the one that ended the twenty game losing
- 24:12Speaker 2: streak for the Jags, right twenty twenty one in London
- 24:14Speaker 2: against the Dolphins. Fifty three yard.
- 24:16Speaker 5: Field goal over And that was an amazing kick because
- 24:19Speaker 5: he's not exactly known for having the most powerful leg.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Yeah, that was about as much as fifty three yards
- 24:25Speaker 2: is about his limit. It's about it. So we'll see
- 24:28Speaker 2: him on Sunday as well. Anything else enuff about this
- 24:31Speaker 2: Jaguars offense now with you know, we got a lot
- 24:34Speaker 2: of questions on the injury report on that side still
- 24:36Speaker 2: with wide receivers dinged up, who's going to be up
- 24:39Speaker 2: is really the question I think going into Sunday. And
- 24:42Speaker 2: then how do you attack this Houston d well. I
- 24:45Speaker 2: think you got to You got to make him run.
- 24:47Speaker 3: We got to come out running the football and stretch
- 24:50Speaker 3: him out and tie to tire him out. I mean,
- 24:52Speaker 3: I think, and it doesn't hurt every once in a
- 24:54Speaker 3: lot to run right at him, I mean, as far
- 24:55Speaker 3: as that's concerned. But we've got to try to get this,
- 24:58Speaker 3: you know, control the ball where we can get there
- 25:00Speaker 3: defense to stay on the field and we can try
- 25:02Speaker 3: to wear them down so that late in the gamer,
- 25:04Speaker 3: in the second half, now we can really start to
- 25:06Speaker 3: get the chunks necessary. This is a good group, as
- 25:09Speaker 3: I mentioned to you. So we're gonna it's going to
- 25:11Speaker 3: take our it's going to take execution in the in
- 25:14Speaker 3: the highest form things that we talked about. I mean again,
- 25:17Speaker 3: we've got to clean up the operation. We can't give
- 25:20Speaker 3: snaps away, we can't put ourselves in less manageable down
- 25:23Speaker 3: in distance. By that, We've got to start fast and score. Okay,
- 25:27Speaker 3: so and that's you know, a no brainer statement for
- 25:30Speaker 3: every team, but we got to get that point to
- 25:31Speaker 3: struggle so far well and it's starting fast part and
- 25:34Speaker 3: scoring early. I mean, so we got to get that done.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Got to protect our quarterback, you know, and let him
- 25:39Speaker 3: operate right now. I think that'll be a big, big thing.
- 25:41Speaker 3: And then from a defensive standpoint, we got to affect
- 25:44Speaker 3: Mills now. We got to let him know that he's
- 25:47Speaker 3: in for a long afternoon and put with pressure.
- 25:50Speaker 2: You know.
- 25:50Speaker 3: I think that you know, we've got to spike that up,
- 25:52Speaker 3: and I think coach will do that. Takeaways again let's
- 25:55Speaker 3: get rolling on that contagion again to get that for
- 25:58Speaker 3: us and then eliminate this explosive game. Said that this
- 26:01Speaker 3: team has the ability to make against you, and I
- 26:03Speaker 3: think things will be in good shape.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Physicality always in the Texans change. I mean that goes
- 26:09Speaker 2: without saying.
- 26:09Speaker 5: I mean we mentioned how physical of a game we
- 26:12Speaker 5: expect it to be, and I think it's going to
- 26:14Speaker 5: be that way too. And you know, the Texans did
- 26:17Speaker 5: a really good job the last time they came out
- 26:20Speaker 5: and they showed like a forty six five down look
- 26:24Speaker 5: and said, you know what, go ahead and throw the ball.
- 26:26Speaker 5: We dare you, and the Jaguars weren't able to do that.
- 26:30Speaker 5: And I think they're going to come out and do
- 26:33Speaker 5: the same exact thing. I think they're going to play
- 26:36Speaker 5: five down. They played five down this past week a
- 26:38Speaker 5: little bit, and I expect them to do the same
- 26:42Speaker 5: thing to stop the Jaguars emphasis on running the football,
- 26:46Speaker 5: and I think they're going to challenge Trevor Lawrence. They're
- 26:48Speaker 5: going to dare the Jaguars to throw the football. And
- 26:50Speaker 5: I think this is a game that six team's got
- 26:52Speaker 5: to be able to make some frozen this ball game
- 26:55Speaker 5: to loosen that defense up so that the running game
- 26:58Speaker 5: can have an impact, because if you allow them.
- 27:01Speaker 2: To play eight to nine in the box, I mean, look,
- 27:03Speaker 2: it's gonna be a long day, long day of football.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that that there's no doubt. I
- 27:08Speaker 3: think they're going to follow shoot to their first first
- 27:12Speaker 3: game game plan. And I said, try to make Crever
- 27:15Speaker 3: beat him, you know, in terms of his play, and
- 27:17Speaker 3: he's going to have to come through with that doesn't
- 27:19Speaker 3: always mean that he's got to have to make the
- 27:21Speaker 3: big play, you know. We don't have to get big
- 27:22Speaker 3: chunks every down. Just move the change, be efficient, wear them.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Down two point in the first game that Jaguars had
- 27:29Speaker 2: eleven first half rushing yards and then finish the game
- 27:33Speaker 2: with eighty six. So they got going a little bit
- 27:35Speaker 2: in key moments there in the second half to push
- 27:39Speaker 2: their way into victory seventeen to ten. Uh, Duff, always
- 27:42Speaker 2: a pleasure.
- 27:43Speaker 3: Well, Jesus honor for me. Are you kidding me? I
- 27:46Speaker 3: don't want to leave overnight.
- 27:48Speaker 2: No, thank you.
- 27:49Speaker 3: I'd like to be here overnight. Thank you.
- 27:51Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
- 27:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I may go just under this table, whatever it takes.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Love it. Good to see it, Duff.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Thank you very much love it.

- 28:30Speaker 2: This is Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 28:46Speaker 6: So it does become hard to ultimately get to the
- 28:49Speaker 6: quarterback when it's like almost quick game, but it's not,
- 28:52Speaker 6: you know, it's that in between of dropback pass that
- 28:55Speaker 6: I think Vegas did a pretty good job of attacking
- 28:59Speaker 6: us that way some of those instances. There are also
- 29:02Speaker 6: some more opportunities to also get some of these, you know,
- 29:06Speaker 6: like when it's in between quicks and drop back. If
- 29:10Speaker 6: we can't get home, all right, how can we affect
- 29:13Speaker 6: the pocket or affect the play by getting our hands up,
- 29:16Speaker 6: like we obviously did on the two point play to
- 29:18Speaker 6: in the game. But we've got to we've got to
- 29:21Speaker 6: affect the quarterback better.
- 29:23Speaker 2: That's that, Coach Liam cohen Man. Welcome back. It is

- 29:45Speaker 7: J P.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Shadwick, Jeff Logman, Konami Stevens steps in with us now
- 29:48Speaker 2: Jaguars reporter.
- 29:49Speaker 8: Hello, Kai, Hello, thanks for having me.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Happy Thursday.
- 29:52Speaker 8: Happy Thursday.
- 29:53Speaker 5: Yeah, hopefully another Happy Thursday next week. Because the Jaguars
- 29:58Speaker 5: beat the Texans.
- 29:59Speaker 8: That would be nice. I would appreciate that.
- 30:01Speaker 5: Cool would that be to send them kind of to
- 30:03Speaker 5: the the bowels of defeat?
- 30:06Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 30:07Speaker 7: I made a Mortal Kombat reference on jag exam because
- 30:10Speaker 7: I feel like this is the opportunity we're like finish them,
- 30:12Speaker 7: because they're like kind of on.
- 30:13Speaker 8: The ropes a little bit. I don't know if you've
- 30:15Speaker 8: been watching. I've been watching some of the TMICO Ryan's press.
- 30:17Speaker 7: Conference in the past couple of weeks, and salty. It's
- 30:21Speaker 7: very reminiscent of some we had may have had around
- 30:24Speaker 7: here last year. It's getting a little animosity, little animals
- 30:27Speaker 7: going on. So I think there's an opportunity there, mm hmm.
- 30:31Speaker 5: You know, we should send one of our guys to
- 30:33Speaker 5: do Tamiko's press conference, like, you know.
- 30:36Speaker 8: He's already getting into it with our own beat writers.
- 30:38Speaker 8: So I don't even know if we do.
- 30:40Speaker 5: You know, Marco Hall ran over there and or Ryan
- 30:43Speaker 5: to ask the questions about you know, his quarterback and
- 30:47Speaker 5: the hit on it bringing up again on Friday and start,
- 30:50Speaker 5: you know, just needling them a little bit.
- 30:52Speaker 2: You know. It is amazing how quick that turns karma Joype.
- 30:56Speaker 2: It's called karma what it is, but it's interesting, let's
- 31:00Speaker 2: put it that way.
- 31:01Speaker 8: That's one way to put it.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Yeah, but obviously with the win, the Jags would be
- 31:04Speaker 2: six and three, and then hey, no matter what happens
- 31:07Speaker 2: with Indy, you get them twice in December and a
- 31:10Speaker 2: lot of football left. But then you're set up for
- 31:12Speaker 2: a whole lot of other things. If you can get
- 31:14Speaker 2: this one done in the division.
- 31:15Speaker 8: Kai absolutely.
- 31:16Speaker 7: I mean we've been talking about the back end of
- 31:18Speaker 7: this schedule, and yeah, it's easy to say on paper
- 31:21Speaker 7: you should be winning these games, but to of them
- 31:22Speaker 7: are against the Titans, I mean, the Cardinals, who are
- 31:25Speaker 7: gonna have Brisset because Kyler Murray's gonna be on ir
- 31:29Speaker 7: I think, so.
- 31:30Speaker 8: There's opportunity there.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Now.
- 31:31Speaker 7: A lot of this is the Jaguars not getting penalties
- 31:34Speaker 7: and playing well as well. There's two parts to this.
- 31:36Speaker 7: You can't just assume you're gonna win the game. But
- 31:38Speaker 7: that's all you can really ask at this point, right,
- 31:40Speaker 7: like you went through the I mean, this is still
- 31:43Speaker 7: a little bit this game, but like the hard part
- 31:45Speaker 7: of the schedule where you were worried about it, right,
- 31:47Speaker 7: if you're coming out of that with a winning record
- 31:49Speaker 7: now going into what you would consider the manageable part
- 31:52Speaker 7: of the schedule, that's all you can really ask for
- 31:54Speaker 7: the new regime as much turnover as they had.
- 31:57Speaker 8: That's pretty cool.
- 31:58Speaker 5: I'm always nervous about two things. One, why are you
- 32:02Speaker 5: not because I mean, you know I know that. I mean,
- 32:04Speaker 5: that's kind of the perception is that this is the
- 32:05Speaker 5: easy part of the schedule, right, I mean by wins
- 32:08Speaker 5: and losses, it is right and and so I mean
- 32:11Speaker 5: a lot of people are looking at strength of schedule
- 32:13Speaker 5: going forward for the Jaguars versus you know, the Colts
- 32:16Speaker 5: and other teams in the league. But man, you know,
- 32:19Speaker 5: and I have a hard time putting the Texans into
- 32:22Speaker 5: that easy schedule category.
- 32:24Speaker 7: I wouldn't say, I would say, I won't. I don't
- 32:27Speaker 7: think that the Colts or the Texans are easy games.
- 32:29Speaker 7: But I think in a divisional division game, anybody can
- 32:32Speaker 7: win any given moment. So in that regard, it's going
- 32:35Speaker 7: to be you don't really know, because it's division games
- 32:38Speaker 7: and you know each other so much.
- 32:39Speaker 8: Nervous so oh absolutely, I'm not nervous.
- 32:41Speaker 2: So I mean it's a division game, and they've got
- 32:43Speaker 2: the number one defense. I mean, there's a bunch of
- 32:46Speaker 2: Jags injuries, a lot of changes right now.
- 32:48Speaker 5: I mean the injury too too, you know. I mean,
- 32:51Speaker 5: everybody's dealing with injuries at this time of the year.
- 32:54Speaker 5: But to look, when you play good defense and the
- 32:57Speaker 5: Texans don't appear I mean Petrie kind of the exception,
- 33:00Speaker 5: but they don't seem to have a lot of injuries
- 33:02Speaker 5: on the defensive side of the ball that would impact
- 33:05Speaker 5: them in a great way. They're superpower. I have to
- 33:09Speaker 5: use James Gladstone's term. Used that term quite a bit.
- 33:13Speaker 5: Are the edge players in the corners? I mean those
- 33:15Speaker 5: two guys that play the edge, I mean they're they're
- 33:17Speaker 5: just as good against the run as they are against
- 33:19Speaker 5: the pass.
- 33:20Speaker 2: I mean, so Anton, Harrison and Walker a little bit.
- 33:25Speaker 2: Strap it up because we.
- 33:26Speaker 5: Tighten that chin, strap up a little bit, put a
- 33:28Speaker 5: little pumps of air in the extra pumps of air
- 33:30Speaker 5: in the hell.
- 33:31Speaker 2: A little bit. Did they even put air in a
- 33:32Speaker 2: helmet anymore? Now?
- 33:36Speaker 5: I think it depends on the helmet. I'd have to
- 33:37Speaker 5: ask George. They got so many new helmets now they do?
- 33:40Speaker 2: They certainly do. Let's let's ease your anxiety here a
- 33:45Speaker 2: little bit, because the Jaguars have helped help me out.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Help coming. Jacoby Myers traded from the Raiders to the Jaguars.
- 33:53Speaker 2: I was fascinated with his answer when he said, yeah,
- 33:57Speaker 2: I was playing against these guys and talking so much
- 33:59Speaker 2: crap up on the field the other day. Then I
- 34:01Speaker 2: had to come in the locker room and explain it
- 34:03Speaker 2: now he's on the team with these guys. So, speaking
- 34:06Speaker 2: of superpowers, James Gladstone said in an interview that his
- 34:10Speaker 2: superpower is pretty much catching the football, right.
- 34:12Speaker 7: Which is like music to everyone's ears here, right, because
- 34:15Speaker 7: we've been talking about the drops for so many weeks
- 34:17Speaker 7: at this point, So have someone sure handed and also
- 34:19Speaker 7: just I think we talked a little bit about this
- 34:22Speaker 7: on jag Sam. Just having someone that's in the right place,
- 34:25Speaker 7: you know, once he knows the system, but just where
- 34:27Speaker 7: you expect them to be. Trevor excelled when he had
- 34:31Speaker 7: a Christian Kirk, he had you know, Marvin Jones, whoever,
- 34:35Speaker 7: people were where he expected them to be. I feel
- 34:37Speaker 7: like that really helps him out. And if he can
- 34:40Speaker 7: have someone that is going to catch the ball if
- 34:42Speaker 7: it's anywhere near them and they're in the right place,
- 34:45Speaker 7: I mean, that's all you can ask for at this point.
- 34:47Speaker 5: And I think he's really you know, I would add
- 34:50Speaker 5: really smart awareness football awareness to Jacoby Meyer's superpower as well,
- 34:57Speaker 5: just because you know, he please play quarterback and he's
- 35:00Speaker 5: got a work ethic that is fantastic. You watch his interviews,
- 35:04Speaker 5: you can tell he's very mature. And then he's got
- 35:07Speaker 5: some past history with you know, with the coach you
- 35:10Speaker 5: know who's going to help him out here, and he's
- 35:13Speaker 5: a smart guy. I would not be surprised if you
- 35:18Speaker 5: have a playbook that's completely open this week for him.
- 35:22Speaker 5: So I don't know, we'll see, and I'm sure that
- 35:25Speaker 5: they're kind of waiting to see. But there's nothing that
- 35:30Speaker 5: you ever hear about him whatsoever that's in a negative
- 35:34Speaker 5: fashion at all. And that's the kind of guy he'd
- 35:38Speaker 5: like to trade for, which is kind of rare. I
- 35:41Speaker 5: mean right, I mean it's not very often you get
- 35:44Speaker 5: a player that you know as a good player, that
- 35:47Speaker 5: has high character, that is smart. Those are the ones
- 35:50Speaker 5: that usually don't get at this point of the season.
- 35:53Speaker 5: You get them in free agency maybe or you know,
- 35:56Speaker 5: you draft him, but that's hard to get, you know,
- 35:59Speaker 5: as somebody's quote unquote cast off.
- 36:01Speaker 2: So it's pretty cool you mentioned his former quarterback. He
- 36:04Speaker 2: has three career passing touchdowns as well. So Liam Cohen.
- 36:08Speaker 5: Tissued, I don't I don't think you're going to put
- 36:11Speaker 5: something in this week.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Likes what the Texans are thinking to come on, it's
- 36:15Speaker 2: a perfect time.
- 36:17Speaker 5: Maybe a cross Yeah, that's right, what's the play going
- 36:21Speaker 5: to be I don't know, little reverse.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Pass, yeah, like step back, throw it wide. Well, then
- 36:27Speaker 2: the one that we saw this past week didn't end
- 36:29Speaker 2: up so good.
- 36:30Speaker 8: I was going to say, maybe we take a week
- 36:31Speaker 8: off of that for just get back on.
- 36:33Speaker 5: Was it Travis back and he bounced it to Trevor.
- 36:37Speaker 7: Trevor did look It looked like they already sested it
- 36:39Speaker 7: out before it even got to Travis though, So I
- 36:41Speaker 7: was like, I don't.
- 36:42Speaker 5: Know, I got I gotta say Trevor handled the one
- 36:45Speaker 5: hopper like short stop.
- 36:46Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Derek Jeter, Yeah, it was nice. Not
- 36:50Speaker 2: quite there trying to catch your smooth the Raiders, by
- 36:56Speaker 2: the way, we're.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Buying it, they already you didn't follow on that one
- 37:02Speaker 1: time for the Jaguars.
- 37:03Speaker 2: Defensive coverage of the game presented by GEH Government Employees
- 37:07Speaker 2: Health Association Benefits for federal employees and retirees. We take
- 37:10Speaker 2: a look at the Texans offensive leaders and numbers and
- 37:15Speaker 2: their nineteenth in total offense. They are twenty fourth in
- 37:20Speaker 2: points per game. They are last in the league in
- 37:23Speaker 2: the red zone, and that's all with CJ. Stroud. But
- 37:26Speaker 2: now they got the backup quarterback Davis Mills coming in
- 37:29Speaker 2: and Logs. You mentioned it. He does have a winning
- 37:31Speaker 2: record against this team, but it's been a few years.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Those were some different times around here. It's been a
- 37:36Speaker 2: while since he has started a game. Dlton Schultz one
- 37:39Speaker 2: of the favorite targets so far. In fact, the leading
- 37:42Speaker 2: receiving numbers for the Houston Texans. The tight end. Yeah,
- 37:47Speaker 2: the tight end, of course. Brock Powers last week had
- 37:50Speaker 2: a game at tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders,
- 37:53Speaker 2: but Schultz has not found the end zone yet this year.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Collins has three times, Exavier Hutchinson has found it three
- 37:59Speaker 2: times as well. And then what he marks. The running
- 38:01Speaker 2: back has really stepped up the last little bit here
- 38:04Speaker 2: and run the ball well for the Houston Texans.
- 38:06Speaker 5: By the way, Brock Bauers stud Yeah, no, kids, Stud,
- 38:11Speaker 5: I don't. I don't know if there's a better receiving
- 38:13Speaker 5: tight end in the league right now than him. No, No,
- 38:17Speaker 5: I mean, he's been hurt and there's some other guys
- 38:19Speaker 5: that have better stats. But when you watch how he
- 38:24Speaker 5: runs his routes, his route running is exceptional. I would
- 38:28Speaker 5: put him probably top five in the league. And as
- 38:33Speaker 5: far as how he sells the routes and sets guys
- 38:36Speaker 5: up to get separation, which is it's special. I mean
- 38:40Speaker 5: there's not many tight ends that that do that. I
- 38:43Speaker 5: mean most of the tight ends are a little bit
- 38:44Speaker 5: more lumbering, don't know the finer details of route running. Man,
- 38:48Speaker 5: he's got it all. I mean, he made this one
- 38:51Speaker 5: little move on Dewey, and I mean.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Dewey is just like I mean, no offense to Dewey.
- 38:59Speaker 2: But you know, I mean I get you know, this
- 39:01Speaker 2: guy is unique. You know, he's really special.
- 39:04Speaker 5: Speed, athleticism, great hands, great route running ability, ultimate competitor.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Those are five things that he's elite. He has twenty
- 39:14Speaker 2: three career catches against the Jaguars. He has one hundred
- 39:17Speaker 2: and forty three career catches overall, so twenty what twenty
- 39:22Speaker 2: two of those twenty three of those against the Jags.
- 39:24Speaker 8: Wow, Jaguars have a tight ends.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Give them fits sometimes, yeah, sometimes occasionally. Hey, Jaguars all
- 39:30Speaker 2: access tonight. Yes, this will ease your anxiety. Lugs. Okay,
- 39:34Speaker 2: who you got today?
- 39:36Speaker 7: Someone that doesn't get stressed very much at all? Apparently
- 39:38Speaker 7: Kim Little And I think is Ross coming too. I
- 39:40Speaker 7: think Ross madisick is coming.
- 39:42Speaker 2: So they run in packs, these specialists they do.
- 39:44Speaker 8: They're all in one.
- 39:45Speaker 2: We got to ask Ross what happened on that. I
- 39:48Speaker 2: won't be doing that on the last one. On the game.
- 39:52Speaker 2: It's all Jeff the field goal time O snap. Yeah,
- 39:56Speaker 2: it was a heck of a hold. Make it a
- 39:57Speaker 2: traumatic talk about shortstops. Yeah, good thing. Logan Cook's got
- 40:02Speaker 2: a little baseball in his background. He got that one
- 40:05Speaker 2: pretty good. Certainly did. Got it around in time, laces
- 40:07Speaker 2: out and it got the game time field and the
- 40:09Speaker 2: best holder in the league by the way. Yeah, and
- 40:11Speaker 2: I love the story of the football. The record kick
- 40:15Speaker 2: was the first ball, and then it went in the
- 40:17Speaker 2: stands twice. Later in the game. They had to get
- 40:19Speaker 2: it back, and because they kept kicking with the same round,
- 40:21Speaker 2: he wanted to keep using it because it was a
- 40:23Speaker 2: good ball, not put it in lucky ball, right, So
- 40:26Speaker 2: they used it pretty much. I think he missed one
- 40:28Speaker 2: or two kicks with another or had another kick or
- 40:31Speaker 2: too while they were trying to chase the other ball down.
- 40:32Speaker 2: They got it back and ended up using it.
- 40:35Speaker 5: I remember that they after the seventy yard kick in
- 40:38Speaker 5: the preseason, they sent something to Canton.
- 40:41Speaker 8: Yeah, his jersey and his shoes, He's not sending the ball.
- 40:44Speaker 8: He's keeping them both.
- 40:45Speaker 7: Also, the other seventy yard ball is sitting in his
- 40:47Speaker 7: pantry next to.
- 40:47Speaker 8: His power bars.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Power put them in, Like that's your.
- 40:52Speaker 7: Twenty two year old right there. It hasn't gotten around
- 40:54Speaker 7: putting it on the mantle yet.
- 40:55Speaker 8: It's just in the kitchen.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Does he even have a mantle, I don't know.
- 40:58Speaker 7: I'm sure, yeah, somewhere some bookcase something put us kind
- 41:02Speaker 7: of shelf, sort of self.
- 41:04Speaker 8: That's not in the paintrees.
- 41:05Speaker 5: I didn't get a look, and so maybe you guys
- 41:08Speaker 5: can help me out. I didn't get a look just
- 41:09Speaker 5: to see, like how how high it was going over
- 41:13Speaker 5: the crossbar.
- 41:14Speaker 8: It had a couple more yards on it. I would worry.
- 41:16Speaker 2: I mean, if you had to guess seventy yeah, I
- 41:19Speaker 2: mean it wasn't.
- 41:20Speaker 8: It was not like it didn't squeak over. It was over.
- 41:23Speaker 8: It was more just like if it keeps going straight
- 41:25Speaker 8: or not, it.
- 41:25Speaker 2: Would have hit the bottom of the wall behind the
- 41:27Speaker 2: goal post.
- 41:28Speaker 8: I'd say seventy one.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:33Speaker 5: Do you think he got all of it? I don't
- 41:34Speaker 5: know about that. I don't think he did.
- 41:36Speaker 7: He I don't think he said he didn't feel like
- 41:39Speaker 7: he hit he tried to hit as hard as he could,
- 41:41Speaker 7: but I think he's we've seen him kick it farther.
- 41:44Speaker 8: I think which harder.
- 41:45Speaker 5: I whichs cool is when he kicks those long ones.
- 41:48Speaker 5: Is that it's all about leg speed, right, I mean,
- 41:50Speaker 5: so you can drive it. So you see those guys
- 41:54Speaker 5: in the in the long drive contest, you know they
- 41:56Speaker 5: don't just stay there and do a standard golf swing.
- 41:59Speaker 5: They literally like an approach. They kind of like a
- 42:01Speaker 5: running approach to get going, to.
- 42:03Speaker 2: Get more club speed. And he does almost does.
- 42:06Speaker 5: The same thing, and that he literally is almost running
- 42:08Speaker 5: through the kick, and it's pretty cool to see how
- 42:13Speaker 5: he can do that. But it was just like when
- 42:15Speaker 5: he when he hit it, I was like he crushed it.
- 42:18Speaker 5: He crushed it, but he didn't get all of it well.
- 42:20Speaker 7: He also said, we interviewed him earlier this week, there's
- 42:23Speaker 7: gonna be a special kind of behind.
- 42:24Speaker 8: The scenes thing about it.
- 42:25Speaker 7: But he said it was a lot lower than he
- 42:27Speaker 7: normally does because he kicks those like the seventy yarder.
- 42:30Speaker 7: They're never like usually the line drive thing because he
- 42:32Speaker 7: has enough leg to be able to kick it normally
- 42:35Speaker 7: and still get it there. And he was saying, yes,
- 42:37Speaker 7: it was a lot lower than I normally do, so
- 42:39Speaker 7: I was surprised by that, and then I don't really know.
- 42:41Speaker 8: He's like, although Logan stood up like he knew right away.
- 42:44Speaker 8: I was watching it for a minute to see what was.
- 42:46Speaker 3: Going to happen.
- 42:46Speaker 5: The coolest thing about that kick is that, you know,
- 42:49Speaker 5: during the buyer week and everybody was sports talk and
- 42:52Speaker 5: you know, conversation around the water cooler and everything, it
- 42:55Speaker 5: was like, you know, the Jags, they should they bring
- 42:57Speaker 5: in a kicker because Cam is struggled, and the head
- 43:01Speaker 5: coach was asked that in the bye week and he's
- 43:05Speaker 5: stuck by his guy said, you.
- 43:06Speaker 2: Know, we believe in him.
- 43:08Speaker 5: We think, you know, you get away, get a reset
- 43:10Speaker 5: and come back fresh from the bye week.
- 43:13Speaker 2: And the head coach stuck with him, and it was cool.
- 43:16Speaker 5: And that after Cam made that kick, the first one
- 43:20Speaker 5: that congratulated Camp.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Was the head coach, firstone out there. Cool stuff.
- 43:24Speaker 5: I mean, that's just I mean to me, that just
- 43:26Speaker 5: I mean, it's there's a special quality about about Liam
- 43:31Speaker 5: that he has that he can connect with players, and
- 43:34Speaker 5: I think that's just one example of many of how
- 43:37Speaker 5: he connects with players and how the players I think
- 43:42Speaker 5: give him that love back because he shows them the love,
- 43:46Speaker 5: so to speak.

- 45:57Speaker 2: didn't practice Wednesday. Both were limited today it's a step
- 46:00Speaker 2: up in status for them. Wide receiver Bracton Burrios to

- 46:14Speaker 2: didn't practice Wednesday limited Thursday. Amy Fairbairn, the kicker with

- 47:05Speaker 2: issue today, so that's trending the right way in the protocol.
- 47:08Speaker 2: Ezra Cleveland, the guard, has not practiced either day. Knee
- 47:11Speaker 2: and ankle issues, of course left last week's game. Dennis
- 47:15Speaker 2: Gardak with a chest issue the linebacker limited both days.
- 47:18Speaker 2: Devon Hamilton back issue limited both days. Jack Kaiser quadriceps issue,
- 47:23Speaker 2: the linebacker limited both days. Jordan Lewis has not practiced
- 47:27Speaker 2: either day this week with a next issue at the corner.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Devin Lloyd is full both days. He's gonna go, he
- 47:32Speaker 2: says in the locker room this week. Hunter Long tight
- 47:35Speaker 2: end has not practiced either day. Wyatt Milam, a guard
- 47:39Speaker 2: with a knee issue not listed Wednesday, limited today. Quinton
- 47:44Speaker 2: Morris the tight end growing issue full both days. Tim
- 47:47Speaker 2: Patrick wide receiver the same thing, full both days, but
- 47:50Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior with the ankle injury now did not
- 47:53Speaker 2: practice again today. So that's a concern moving ahead for
- 47:57Speaker 2: the Jaguars. Receiving Corps long list for both teams in
- 48:00Speaker 2: this week's game. The Jaguars and the Texans both beat
- 48:02Speaker 2: up that time of year, right, Yeah, I mean it's
- 48:05Speaker 2: kind of kind of how it works. That's why you
- 48:06Speaker 2: got practice squad, and you know you expect the guys
- 48:10Speaker 2: to step up, and I think it's also going to
- 48:13Speaker 2: be interesting to see how they handle some of these
- 48:15Speaker 2: injuries from a personnel standpoint offensively, you know, do they
- 48:20Speaker 2: go a different route when.
- 48:21Speaker 5: It comes to personnel groupings than they've done in the past,
- 48:27Speaker 5: you know, for example, like going to the to the
- 48:29Speaker 5: Rams game, not from the Jaguars standpoint, but the Rams
- 48:33Speaker 5: really mixed it up and gave the Jaguars kind of
- 48:35Speaker 5: a curveball from the personnel grouping that they were actually
- 48:38Speaker 5: expecting to see three tight ends, So start the game,
- 48:42Speaker 5: could the Jaguars maybe do something like that? I mean,
- 48:46Speaker 5: but they're banged up at wide receiver a little bit,
- 48:48Speaker 5: They're banged up at tight end little bit.
- 48:50Speaker 2: Three tight ends to put out there.
- 48:52Speaker 5: Could you go out there with you know, seven offensive
- 48:55Speaker 5: linemen and have them out there doing this reporting you know.
- 48:58Speaker 2: As an eligible receiver certainly.
- 49:01Speaker 5: And have you know, wye mile him up and to
- 49:04Speaker 5: go along with you know, Ezra sounds like he's going
- 49:07Speaker 5: to be out having missed two days. But yeah, it'll
- 49:10Speaker 5: be interesting to see how they do that big matchup.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Of course, AFC South Battle, you can put the Texans
- 49:16Speaker 2: pretty much all but out of it, and I would
- 49:18Speaker 2: put the Jags in a prime position now with the
- 49:21Speaker 2: middle of November a little bit. It's just sweeping the Texas.
- 49:24Speaker 5: I don't want to just you know the team who's
- 49:28Speaker 5: coach and general manager were so arrogant last year and
- 49:31Speaker 5: they're handling of the injury to Trevor Lawrence and uh,
- 49:36Speaker 5: you know we were talking earlier about karma, right, I mean,
- 49:40Speaker 5: karma sometimes can go around a little bit. And I
- 49:43Speaker 5: hope that the Jaguars beat them at their place, get
- 49:46Speaker 5: a sweep. The Texans have dominated the Jaguars since their existence.
- 49:51Speaker 5: If you look at the numbers, I want to see
- 49:53Speaker 5: the Jaguars dominate them now.
- 49:55Speaker 2: It's turn it around. Time to change the future. Yeah,
- 49:59Speaker 2: the past is in the direction of how things used
- 50:02Speaker 2: to be. That's Jeff Logerman. I'm JP Shattercker. Thanks to
- 50:05Speaker 2: Mark Duffner, Kanani Stevens coming up in about fifteen seconds.
