- 1:26Speaker 2: It was coordinator Day at the podium and Press Taylor
- 1:29Speaker 2: fired up to finally put on a show on Sunday.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Yeah, we're certainly excited to, you know, all the things
- 1:35Speaker 3: we've worked on since we got together in April, of
- 1:38Speaker 3: trying to put that, you know, into action and see
- 1:41Speaker 3: how that applies to all our guys, see all our
- 1:43Speaker 3: guys play together. You know, it's from our standpoint, it's
- 1:46Speaker 3: just funn as coaches to get to watch our guys
- 1:48Speaker 3: go out and compete, stakes on the line, all that
- 1:50Speaker 3: type of stuff.
- 1:50Speaker 2: So we're certainly excited. On the other side of the ball,
- 1:53Speaker 2: the challenge defending rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson out of the
- 1:57Speaker 2: University of Florida dual threat, how do you do it?
- 2:01Speaker 4: Mike Caldwell, That's the thing about him, He's a great
- 2:05Speaker 4: athlete and he's developing into a quarterback. You see him
- 2:09Speaker 4: make great throws at times. But the wild card is
- 2:13Speaker 4: you never know where he's gonna be. He can scramble
- 2:15Speaker 4: at any time. They can use him in many different ways,
- 2:18Speaker 4: so the unknown's there. We've gone back in tried to
- 2:21Speaker 4: study as much as we can as far as what
- 2:23Speaker 4: they'd like to do with young quarterbacks and what Florida used,
- 2:28Speaker 4: how Florida used him.
- 2:29Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, we're gonna go out.
- 2:31Speaker 4: There and do what we've been, you know, programmed to do.
- 2:35Speaker 4: Go out there and play hard nose defense.
- 2:38Speaker 2: It's Mike Caldwell, defensive coordinator and the full press conferences
- 2:41Speaker 2: from both He Farwell also the special teams coordinator. Available

- 2:56Speaker 2: to welcome in Jaguars analyst Jeff Loghiman in on this
- 3:00Speaker 2: Thursday afternoon. Good afternoon, Jeff, Afternoon, JP. It's week one.
- 3:04Speaker 2: It is at long last, the long wait is over.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Nearly fantastic here Tomas real football tonight, it's here. We
- 3:11Speaker 2: got the Kansas City Chiefs against the Detroit Lions tonight,
- 3:14Speaker 2: got kickoff night, kickoff weekend, coming up UH Division opponent
- 3:19Speaker 2: against the against the Colts. And you get the Colts
- 3:21Speaker 2: twice in the first six weeks of the season, which
- 3:24Speaker 2: is I think even better because you got a rookie
- 3:28Speaker 2: quarterback starting.
- 3:28Speaker 5: I mean, if you're going to face a team that
- 3:30Speaker 5: has a rookie quarterback getting his first start ever, I mean,
- 3:33Speaker 5: why not get him in the first six weeks. I
- 3:35Speaker 5: mean that that's set up perfectly. Get him twice in
- 3:37Speaker 5: the first six weeks. Yeah, yeah, before he figures anything
- 3:40Speaker 5: out right exactly.
- 3:42Speaker 2: That's fantastic. I mean that.
- 3:43Speaker 5: But that's the the unknown part about this game that
- 3:47Speaker 5: it probably makes you a little bit nervous.
- 3:49Speaker 2: And there are you How nervous are you? Well? I
- 3:51Speaker 2: think you're.
- 3:52Speaker 5: Always nervous because the first week is always you know,
- 3:56Speaker 5: you you thought you did know, but you really did know.
- 4:00Speaker 5: Of Week one kind of does things like that, you know,
- 4:03Speaker 5: and that you thought teams were not that good and
- 4:05Speaker 5: then all of a sudden they were good. But the
- 4:08Speaker 5: reality is is that the Colts have a young quarterback,
- 4:11Speaker 5: a rookie at the helm, and then they've got a
- 4:12Speaker 5: young back in and secondary. And this football team that
- 4:15Speaker 5: the Jaguars have, they're good against the run. Okay, Anthony
- 4:19Speaker 5: Richardson's probably going to be more of a running quarterback.
- 4:22Speaker 5: He's not very polished in the passing game. That's not
- 4:24Speaker 5: where where he's going to be very good at. That's
- 4:28Speaker 5: probably a Jaguars defensive weakness, if there is one. The
- 4:32Speaker 5: Jaguars offensive strength, they got a multitude of weapons. The
- 4:35Speaker 5: weakness of the Colts defense is the back end, the secondary.
- 4:38Speaker 5: They're very young. So as far as matchups go, I mean,
- 4:42Speaker 5: this is a really good matchup in my mind for
- 4:44Speaker 5: the Jaguars football team. But again, it's Week one and
- 4:48Speaker 5: crazy things can happen.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Unscouted looks, some weird plays you might not seek, come
- 4:54Speaker 2: in and some guys break it out. It's like, who
- 4:56Speaker 2: is hey. That's why they pay the coaches all the
- 4:58Speaker 2: big money. Ah, I mean, that's why they pay them
- 5:01Speaker 2: to figure out exactly what the Colts are going to
- 5:04Speaker 2: do on offense.
- 5:05Speaker 5: I mean, defensively, you know what they're going to do.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Gus Bradley's not at he doesn't have any secrets. His
- 5:11Speaker 5: defense is about as vanilla as it is. He just
- 5:14Speaker 5: teaches players to play fast, and he coaches them to
- 5:17Speaker 5: understand what the offense is trying to accomplish. But the
- 5:21Speaker 5: Colts offense is a little bit of a projection.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they don't have the running Back's not
- 5:27Speaker 2: there Jonathan Taylor. So yeah, but that's okay. That doesn't
- 5:30Speaker 2: change the system, right, but it changes the production, changes
- 5:34Speaker 2: the player. Absolutely think the system you don't really know
- 5:37Speaker 2: what it is. I think they do. I think they
- 5:39Speaker 2: got a pretty good idea.
- 5:40Speaker 5: Well what do you think it's well, I mean, first
- 5:42Speaker 5: of all, and if you had a chance to watch
- 5:46Speaker 5: Stich and did I say that right?
- 5:48Speaker 2: He did?
- 5:48Speaker 5: Okay, Si the new head coach of the Inanapolis Colts,
- 5:52Speaker 5: he talked at length about this. And then also you
- 5:56Speaker 5: just kind of read between the lines of what some
- 5:58Speaker 5: of the things that the Jaguars coaches are talking about.
- 6:01Speaker 2: But Stiken talked about, Hey, look.
- 6:03Speaker 5: When you have a young quarterback, you go back and
- 6:05Speaker 5: you watch the college film to gain a really good
- 6:08Speaker 5: understanding of what he liked and what he excelled at,
- 6:13Speaker 5: and then you tried and Jim Bob Cooter talked about
- 6:16Speaker 5: this as well, and that you try to incorporate some
- 6:19Speaker 5: of those things into your system, even though you may
- 6:22Speaker 5: not have had it in your system, just because you
- 6:25Speaker 5: want the young quarterback to feel comfortable. And then I'm
- 6:28Speaker 5: sure that they took a look at what they were
- 6:32Speaker 5: able to do with Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia, particularly against
- 6:35Speaker 5: the Jaguars last year, which was very successful and it
- 6:39Speaker 5: kept the Jaguars defense off balance. So I'm sure they've
- 6:42Speaker 5: got a little bit of that in their playbook, you know,
- 6:45Speaker 5: But no one playbook is ever exactly the same as
- 6:48Speaker 5: another team or a college team, so it's a blend
- 6:52Speaker 5: of some of those things, and so I think the
- 6:55Speaker 5: Jaguars are prepared for that. Then the most important thing
- 6:58Speaker 5: that the Jaguars though to do is they need to
- 7:01Speaker 5: tackle well in this game. If they tackle well, stop
- 7:05Speaker 5: the rushing attack for the most part of the Colts,
- 7:09Speaker 5: then I don't see how they lose this game.
- 7:11Speaker 2: If they protect the football as well, hold on to
- 7:14Speaker 2: the football, tackle them when they get out there. And hey,
- 7:16Speaker 2: that was a problem a lot of last season. They've
- 7:19Speaker 2: said it, Mike Caldwell said it earlier this offseason. The
- 7:22Speaker 2: number one thing we needed to work on was tackling.
- 7:25Speaker 2: They've had so many mistakes and.
- 7:27Speaker 5: It's hard to work on tackling anymore right in the
- 7:30Speaker 5: National Football League because you're you're limited on what you
- 7:33Speaker 5: can and can't do from a practice standpoint. You can't
- 7:36Speaker 5: be in full patch practicing tackling. So you have to
- 7:39Speaker 5: be creative as a coaching staff to find different ways
- 7:41Speaker 5: to teach the philosophy and the fundamentals of it.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Jaguars Happy are on ten toon XL ninety two point
- 7:47Speaker 2: five FM, JP Shadwick, Jeff Logoman. Glad you're with us.
- 7:51Speaker 2: This Jaguars offense will be unleashed finally for the first
- 7:55Speaker 2: time in its full bore. It's gonna be fun. I
- 7:58Speaker 2: cannot wait to see you what Doug Peterson and Press
- 8:02Speaker 2: Taylor and Mike McCoy and all the offensive coaches have
- 8:05Speaker 2: up their sleeve. And I'm curious what Doug Peterson's gonna
- 8:09Speaker 2: say in the five o'clock hour the Doug Peterson Show.
- 8:12Speaker 2: We'll ask him. But you know, there's so many options
- 8:17Speaker 2: on offense, all these weapons, Ridley Kirk, Jay Jones, Evan Ingram,
- 8:23Speaker 2: running backs. You know, how do you narrow it down
- 8:26Speaker 2: for just a game plan and stick with that. There's
- 8:29Speaker 2: so many things you want to get out there, but
- 8:31Speaker 2: it's a long season. I think you got to be
- 8:32Speaker 2: true to the system. I mean, but when I say that, some.
- 8:38Speaker 5: People might get the impression that, Okay, the system doesn't
- 8:41Speaker 5: take into account the talent that you have. It does, okay,
- 8:45Speaker 5: But when you have a system in place, the system
- 8:48Speaker 5: itself is designed for the talent.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Talents of Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones
- 8:53Speaker 2: and Evan Ingram and Breton Strange, Tank Bigsby, etn. All
- 8:58Speaker 2: those guys are part of the design. But once the
- 9:01Speaker 2: ball is snapped, where that ball.
- 9:02Speaker 5: Ends up sometimes is up to the man that's got
- 9:06Speaker 5: the keys to the car, and that's Trevor Lawrence. And
- 9:10Speaker 5: so I think the big challenge with his football team
- 9:12Speaker 5: this year is going to be making sure that they
- 9:16Speaker 5: stay unselfish and that they're willing to do what because
- 9:21Speaker 5: I mean, JP, that was like the calling card of
- 9:23Speaker 5: the offense last year. If Zay had a big game,
- 9:26Speaker 5: Christian was happy for Zay. If Evan had a big game,
- 9:28Speaker 5: everybody was happy for Evan Etn. If a ETN was
- 9:32Speaker 5: able to dominate on the ground, Trevor was happy for him.
- 9:35Speaker 5: If you can stay that way and just make the
- 9:39Speaker 5: offense function at a high level. And I'm saying the
- 9:42Speaker 5: offense function at a high level without trying to force
- 9:45Speaker 5: feed at the certain guys, I think this offense will
- 9:48Speaker 5: be unstoppable.
- 9:48Speaker 2: And Calvin Ridley just moments ago, as we said, wrapped up,
- 9:51Speaker 2: they had open locker room just about twenty minutes ago,
- 9:54Speaker 2: if that, And he's echoed the same thing. They asked him, Hey,
- 9:57Speaker 2: what do you want to get done this? He's like,
- 10:00Speaker 2: I just want to win, win, like just win, man
- 10:02Speaker 2: like that. That's what he brought up, and he's continued.
- 10:07Speaker 2: He's been that way throughout training camp, and he's been
- 10:10Speaker 2: that way down in the preseason and now in Week
- 10:12Speaker 2: one he's saying the same thing. So that's a good sign. Yeah.
- 10:15Speaker 5: The uh there was a play that I did on
- 10:18Speaker 5: on social media this week, and if you remember the
- 10:20Speaker 5: game against the Miami.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Dolphins, promoting your own video, Yes, I love that.
- 10:25Speaker 5: And it was Ridley when he had the toe tap
- 10:27Speaker 5: along the boundary yes, okay, fogging backward, yes, And I
- 10:32Speaker 5: think that plays a perfect example of okay, pretty amazing
- 10:36Speaker 5: and that sometimes you gotta not necessarily stay true to
- 10:40Speaker 5: the system, but you understand what the players are in
- 10:43Speaker 5: the system, right. You know, when Trevor takes that ball,
- 10:45Speaker 5: if you remember, Miami ended up bringing a linebacker and
- 10:48Speaker 5: blitzed off of the outside edge, Cam Robinson has to
- 10:51Speaker 5: come off of Chubb. Bradley Chubb the defensive end to
- 10:54Speaker 5: block the linebacker because he was the most dangerous guy. Well,
- 10:57Speaker 5: the easy completion, easy throw for Trevor with Chubb in
- 11:00Speaker 5: his face, essentially right away, is to dump into bigs
- 11:04Speaker 5: Be in the flat on the left hand side. Easy
- 11:06Speaker 5: completion probably would have gained ten, twelve, fifteen yards first down. Sure,
- 11:10Speaker 5: you don't line up play another gay another down. Well,
- 11:13Speaker 5: he shows he chooses to throw.
- 11:15Speaker 2: It to Calvin Ridley, and Ridley's down the field, He's uh,
- 11:19Speaker 2: It's basically a zone concept that Vic Fangio dials up.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Kind of gave the impression it was going to be
- 11:24Speaker 2: man but in that instance, with Ridley in that zone
- 11:27Speaker 2: alone with a defensive back cornerback, it's essentially man coverage.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Trevor takes a calculated risks and throws it up, and
- 11:36Speaker 2: the calculated risk is.
- 11:38Speaker 6: I've got Calvin Ridley on my team. And that guy's
- 11:41Speaker 6: not as good as Calvin Ridley, So I'm gonna throw
- 11:43Speaker 6: it up, and he throws it up, and Calvin makes
- 11:46Speaker 6: a tremendous catch, does an amazing job with his feet,
- 11:49Speaker 6: and bam, you know you're down there at point blank range.
- 11:52Speaker 2: And that's that's what it's. I think it's exciting about
- 11:55Speaker 2: this off And it feels like you could see more
- 11:57Speaker 2: of that type of calculated risk at a certain area
- 12:02Speaker 2: of the field this year because of the ability of
- 12:05Speaker 2: the kicking game. Yes, and maybe you can. Okay, hey,
- 12:08Speaker 2: let's take a shot here. If we don't get it,
- 12:10Speaker 2: let's settle for this fifty two yard field goal. We'll
- 12:13Speaker 2: come back later and try to cash in the touchdown.
- 12:16Speaker 2: But you know, but then again, Ohan Doug Peterson the
- 12:20Speaker 2: fourth and two's he's not afraid to go for those
- 12:23Speaker 2: no matter who's the kicker and who's on the offense,
- 12:26Speaker 2: depending on how that game's going.
- 12:27Speaker 5: And I think you've in this week in particular, you
- 12:31Speaker 5: got to be careful about not taking too much of
- 12:34Speaker 5: that those shots down the field calculated risk things for
- 12:38Speaker 5: two reasons, and Doug talked about this extensively, And there's
- 12:41Speaker 5: a recent article in the Sporty News or somewhere that
- 12:43Speaker 5: he talked about Trevor's development and Trevor's starting to.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Learn the kind of I guess football better than he
- 12:52Speaker 2: ever has.
- 12:53Speaker 5: We get a sports illustrated, Sports Illustrated, and he talked
- 12:57Speaker 5: about that in particular, what you're talking about. Hey, and
- 13:00Speaker 5: you're in field goal range already. Just realize that and
- 13:03Speaker 5: understand that. So you may not be as aggressive because
- 13:07Speaker 5: you know you got three points on the board. Potentially
- 13:09Speaker 5: with Brandon mcmahn, it's you're golden, right. But this week
- 13:14Speaker 5: I think is a little bit unique.
- 13:16Speaker 2: And that you have a Gus Bradley defense and you've
- 13:20Speaker 2: got to be patient with it. So you can't take
- 13:23Speaker 2: some of these calculated risks that you would no might
- 13:26Speaker 2: normally do down the field because they're going to give
- 13:29Speaker 2: you some of the underneath stuff. You go back and
- 13:31Speaker 2: you look at the two games the Jaguars played against
- 13:33Speaker 2: Indianapolis last year, and I think Trevor was forty five
- 13:37Speaker 2: of fifty two, like over eighty five percent completion rate,
- 13:41Speaker 2: had four hundred yards passing, three touchdown, zero interceptions, and
- 13:45Speaker 2: that was all essentially taking what the Colts defense gave them.
- 13:49Speaker 5: Quick stuff underneath, and sometimes I think as a quarterback,
- 13:53Speaker 5: you want to get greedy and you want to take
- 13:55Speaker 5: a chunk, you know, explosive play, twenty yard, twenty five yard,
- 13:58Speaker 5: you know, throw go. But if the culture going to
- 14:01Speaker 5: continue to give you that underneath stuff, just stack plays together.
- 14:05Speaker 5: The points will eventually come. And I think that's one
- 14:07Speaker 5: of the challenges this week with Trevor and the offense
- 14:10Speaker 5: is to stay patient and take the plays that are there.
- 14:14Speaker 2: We're back in a moment. We'll hear from the quarterback,
- 14:16Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. You might have heard of number sixteen long
- 14:19Speaker 2: blonde hair, year three, year two in this offense. I
- 14:24Speaker 2: used to have hair like that. I did too. Actually,
- 14:26Speaker 2: did you yeah, long long time, long time ago. Did
- 14:31Speaker 2: you get it back in a ponytail to JP? Yeah?
- 14:34Speaker 2: Not recently. It's been a minute. Jaguars Happy Hours brought
- 14:39Speaker 2: to you by the Saint John's River Water Management District,
- 14:42Speaker 2: Florida's water It's worth saving. We're off and running on
- 14:45Speaker 2: ten jen XL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot
- 14:48Speaker 2: Com and Jaguars YouTube. It's Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 15:01Speaker 7: Everyone always asks about expectations and how you deal with them,
- 15:04Speaker 7: like don't really deal with them. You just don't listen
- 15:06Speaker 7: to them, Like, what does it matter what you know?
- 15:08Speaker 7: This guy said over here. He's not in our locker room.
- 15:10Speaker 7: He's not a part of our team. And even if
- 15:11Speaker 7: he said something good, we go out and lose Sunday,
- 15:14Speaker 7: everyone's like, oh, I told you they weren't gonna be
- 15:16Speaker 7: and against It doesn't really matter, you know what people
- 15:18Speaker 7: say or you know, so we just have to keep
- 15:21Speaker 7: our ship tight. And I think that's the biggest thing
- 15:23Speaker 7: that coach has done a good job of is making
- 15:26Speaker 7: sure we do that and and managing all those expectations
- 15:29Speaker 7: because that's just it's they're not real. It's not a
- 15:31Speaker 7: real thing. You know. We have to go play every
- 15:33Speaker 7: Sunday and put our best foot forward, and you can't
- 15:35Speaker 7: do that if you're listening to what other people are saying.
- 15:39Speaker 2: That's Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars quarterback, Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour,
- 15:43Speaker 2: brought to you by the Saint John's River Water Management District,
- 15:46Speaker 2: Florida's water It's worth saving. JP Shadick, Jeff Logoman Glad
- 15:50Speaker 2: You're with us on ten ten XL ninety two point
- 15:53Speaker 2: five FM. Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube. We are everywhere
- 15:59Speaker 2: when you're looking for jag worse football. What's that line everywhere? No? No,
- 16:05Speaker 2: I'm thinking about in reaction to what Trevor was saying
- 16:07Speaker 2: right there. That's why you play the game, you know.
- 16:12Speaker 2: And that's kind of what Trevor is saying right there. Yeah,
- 16:14Speaker 2: all the outside expectations things, Hey, all the height that
- 16:19Speaker 2: we're throwing out there, We're guilty.
- 16:21Speaker 5: But I mean, look, the reality is, Look, you feel
- 16:23Speaker 5: good about this football team. I mean, why would you
- 16:25Speaker 5: not feel good about this team? I mean, the number.
- 16:31Speaker 5: If there's any questions, I mean, okay, to be the
- 16:34Speaker 5: pessimist here, okay, And I'm not very pessimistic about this
- 16:38Speaker 5: football team. But if I had to be pessimistic, I'm okay,
- 16:41Speaker 5: what am I concerned about? Well, I'm concerned about the
- 16:44Speaker 5: offensive line a little bit. Can they protect Trevor? But
- 16:48Speaker 5: I feel really good about Trevor's ability to help protect them?
- 16:51Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 16:52Speaker 5: Right, okay, counterpoint to that, get out quick. All the
- 16:55Speaker 5: great quarterbacks do that, Okay, And I think Trevor has
- 16:58Speaker 5: that ability. He's I think he showed it last year.
- 17:01Speaker 5: He was able to Heck what in the final nine
- 17:04Speaker 5: games of the season. His quarterback rating was unbelievable. He
- 17:09Speaker 5: had what like fifteen touchdowns, two interceptions, and was the
- 17:13Speaker 5: offensive line at their best. No, but he was so
- 17:17Speaker 5: good down those that stretch of final games. It which
- 17:21Speaker 5: I mean, that was a lot of him, you know. So,
- 17:24Speaker 5: But if I'm being a pessimistic again, Okay, the offensive
- 17:27Speaker 5: line is a little bit of a question mark, especially
- 17:30Speaker 5: because you have Walker Little playing left tackle. He had
- 17:33Speaker 5: three games at the wrap the final season, up the
- 17:35Speaker 5: regular season up last year, and then went into the
- 17:37Speaker 5: playoffs obviously with the injury to Cam Robinson.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Can he hold up? Okay?
- 17:42Speaker 5: Can he hold up for the first four games until
- 17:46Speaker 5: Cam can come back? How about left guard? How about
- 17:49Speaker 5: Ben Bartch Okay last year ended up on the year
- 17:52Speaker 5: on the injury reserve, had a significant knee injury. The
- 17:54Speaker 5: only time that he had in the preseason was against Miami.
- 17:58Speaker 5: Can he play a whole game?
- 17:59Speaker 2: Is he going to be?
- 17:59Speaker 5: Ok I think with Sheriff and Fortner and the inside,
- 18:05Speaker 5: you're okay. You got a rookie right tackle that had
- 18:07Speaker 5: to miss some camp time with a bad wing, bad
- 18:10Speaker 5: right shoulder.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Can that hold up? Okay?
- 18:13Speaker 5: So I mean, those are some concerns. Defensively, can they
- 18:16Speaker 5: Can they rush the passer effectively enough to consistently affect
- 18:21Speaker 5: the passing game of opponents. I think that's a legitimate concern.
- 18:25Speaker 5: Can they do it?
- 18:26Speaker 2: You have Josh and you have Trayvon. Trayvon had three
- 18:28Speaker 2: and a half sacks last year.
- 18:30Speaker 5: Okay, Josh was one of uh did not have great
- 18:33Speaker 5: numbsh he have seven sacks last year?
- 18:35Speaker 2: I think Josh had seven somewhere in there.
- 18:37Speaker 5: He was one of the more productive guys according to
- 18:39Speaker 5: PFF as far as pressure rates go. Trayvon was in
- 18:42Speaker 5: the bottom half of edge rushers last year.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Can he get better? Four of the seven sacks for
- 18:49Speaker 2: Josh Allen came in the final five weeks of the season.
- 18:51Speaker 5: Okay, there's a go. There's another active pessimism. Okay, just say,
- 18:56Speaker 5: Trayvon Walker three and a half sacks? Okay, can he
- 19:01Speaker 5: get better to justify a first overall pick? I think
- 19:05Speaker 5: he will. But the reality is is that until you see,
- 19:07Speaker 5: you don't.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Know well in theory, right, I mean, we talked about
- 19:10Speaker 2: this all off season. The offense is going to be
- 19:13Speaker 2: that much better, hopefully starting faster, playing with leads preferably
- 19:19Speaker 2: two score leads, where in the second half teams throw
- 19:24Speaker 2: the ball. It's it's the same to many teams play
- 19:27Speaker 2: with two score leads. Well, let's say you have let's
- 19:29Speaker 2: say it's a tight man, you have a lead in
- 19:31Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. In theory that team's throwing the ball
- 19:33Speaker 2: because this is a one score league. Though for the
- 19:35Speaker 2: most part, okay, but you're throwing to get back in
- 19:37Speaker 2: the day. I totally saying it gives more obvious passing situations.
- 19:42Speaker 2: The defense can be better than you know, man, and
- 19:44Speaker 2: I hope.
- 19:44Speaker 7: So.
- 19:45Speaker 5: But here's the here's the other question. All right, you
- 19:48Speaker 5: have two corners, okay, that finished the year up last year.
- 19:52Speaker 5: But are those corners? I like Tyson Campbell, I really
- 19:56Speaker 5: like them. Okay, but this is a three cornerback league, JP,
- 20:01Speaker 5: who's the third corner? Who's your second corner? Well, Darius
- 20:04Speaker 5: Williams is the second corn Darius Williams. Okay, what kind
- 20:09Speaker 5: of a year did you think he had last year?
- 20:11Speaker 2: They got better at the end when they moved, got
- 20:13Speaker 2: better at the end. Okay, was it great? I wouldn't
- 20:15Speaker 2: say it's great.
- 20:16Speaker 5: No, it wasn't great, you know, I mean, when's the
- 20:18Speaker 5: last time he had an interception in his career.
- 20:20Speaker 2: It's a good one, and I guess it was in LA.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Just give me a year. I'm gonna guess twenty one one.
- 20:28Speaker 2: I go back to twenty twenty. It's been a while. Yeah,
- 20:31Speaker 2: it's been a while. I mean so so, I mean
- 20:33Speaker 2: just playing, Okay, who's the who's the third corner? Who's
- 20:36Speaker 2: your who's your Trey Herndon's the nickel veteran player? I mean,
- 20:41Speaker 2: was Trey okay? Okay? Show? I mean, can he play man? Well? No,
- 20:46Speaker 2: being a pessimist here, I mean so, I mean, I
- 20:48Speaker 2: I think that this. I think he's better in the zone,
- 20:52Speaker 2: very good in zone.
- 20:53Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think there's any questioning that. But
- 20:55Speaker 5: you're really go tackler too. You know with him that
- 20:58Speaker 5: he's going to be in the right place. Smart player, dependable,
- 21:02Speaker 5: and sometimes that's just what you need. But I bring
- 21:06Speaker 5: all this up to say that, look, there's no team
- 21:08Speaker 5: in the National Football League that doesn't have some concerns
- 21:12Speaker 5: or questions. And does this team have some concerns or questions,
- 21:16Speaker 5: Sure it does, but I think the the excitement level
- 21:21Speaker 5: and the positives of this football team far out weigh
- 21:24Speaker 5: some of the concerns are questions defensively, you know, and
- 21:28Speaker 5: here's another question, or should I say being the doubter here? Okay,
- 21:32Speaker 5: I'm playing the douter's role. Devin Lloyd. Can he take
- 21:35Speaker 5: that next step this year?
- 21:37Speaker 2: You know?
- 21:37Speaker 5: Last year, remember we got benched a couple of games.
- 21:39Speaker 5: Chad Moom ended up being the starting other linebacker next
- 21:43Speaker 5: to Foyer Lucan.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Devin sounds different this year. He looks different, sounds like
- 21:50Speaker 2: his world is calm. If I was to wear one jersey,
- 21:54Speaker 2: you know, you whose player? What player jersey I would
- 21:57Speaker 2: wear if you were going down, if it wasn't Trevor Lawrence,
- 21:59Speaker 2: you know, down to the store here outside the Zach
- 22:02Speaker 2: Electric Center and to buy one? Who would exactly it wasn't.
- 22:05Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence because I probably wouldn't look as good in
- 22:08Speaker 5: sixteen as he does, you know, because I'm not as lean,
- 22:11Speaker 5: lean and trim. I'd wear thirty three, would you. I'm
- 22:14Speaker 5: Devilloyd's biggest fan. I think he's going to be I
- 22:18Speaker 5: think he's geared, geared up for a tremendous year.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Love.
- 22:22Speaker 5: I love everything about him. I love the way he
- 22:24Speaker 5: goes about his business. I love the way he works.
- 22:27Speaker 5: Love the way he plays the game. I love how
- 22:29Speaker 5: athletic he is.
- 22:31Speaker 2: He seems to be a magnet at times. Is this
- 22:34Speaker 2: his kind of game? I think this is a big
- 22:36Speaker 2: This is a big year for him.
- 22:38Speaker 5: Yeah, but again, you know he struggled last year, you
- 22:41Speaker 5: know so, but I want to see him do it.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Is this his his kind of game against a big,
- 22:46Speaker 2: physical running quarterback.
- 22:49Speaker 5: Let me say this, Games like this are very difficult
- 22:54Speaker 5: for linebackers. You go back to the Philadelphia game last year,
- 22:59Speaker 5: and the Jaguars had no answer for Jalen Hurts in
- 23:03Speaker 5: the offense, right, No, I mean just didn't have.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Not many teams did.
- 23:06Speaker 8: No.
- 23:06Speaker 5: No, I mean it's a tremendous offense and with Jalen's
- 23:10Speaker 5: ability to run the RPO stuff, and then you got
- 23:14Speaker 5: the passing game off of that. When you face an
- 23:17Speaker 5: offense like the Jaguars getting ready to face against the Colts,
- 23:20Speaker 5: and it's what we expect. You know, we haven't seen it,
- 23:23Speaker 5: but we're expecting this kind of an offense. You're going
- 23:26Speaker 5: to see a ton of Anthony Richardson that Reid option
- 23:30Speaker 5: RPO passing game stuff where he sticks it in the
- 23:34Speaker 5: belly of the running back. He could hand it off,
- 23:37Speaker 5: he could keep it, he could fake the hand off
- 23:40Speaker 5: and instead of running it, take a couple steps back
- 23:42Speaker 5: and as the linebackers are being sucked up with the
- 23:45Speaker 5: play action, throw it over their heads on a little
- 23:48Speaker 5: little slant route over where they were at, you know.
- 23:50Speaker 2: I mean, so this is a challenging game for the linebackers.
- 23:54Speaker 5: And you'll hear me talk about this in our broadcast
- 23:59Speaker 5: on on Sunday that Devin Lloyd and Foyer lu Can
- 24:04Speaker 5: need to have really good games this week for this
- 24:08Speaker 5: team to do well, because it is a challenging test
- 24:12Speaker 5: for linebackers to face a system like this and a
- 24:16Speaker 5: talent of the level of Anthony Richardson JP. I watched
- 24:20Speaker 5: the guy on in preseason. Now dudes can't get him down.
- 24:25Speaker 5: I mean, JP, you see.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Cam Newton right, This is a bigger version of Cam Newton, wider.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Cam was six ' six and built pretty well. Anthony
- 24:36Speaker 2: Richardson six four and built better. It's built better, like
- 24:40Speaker 2: lower body fat, stronger.
- 24:42Speaker 5: I think, you know, probably a little faster than Cam
- 24:46Speaker 5: if I had to guess, But when you watched him
- 24:51Speaker 5: in the preseason and obviously at University of Florida, I mean,
- 24:54Speaker 5: he he plays sometimes like he's a man amongst boys,
- 24:58Speaker 5: and that when guys go to tackle them, they just
- 25:01Speaker 5: kind of fall off of them and they can't they
- 25:03Speaker 5: can't hold onto them. He's just so powerful, and especially
- 25:07Speaker 5: in the secondary, those guys bounce off of him, even
- 25:09Speaker 5: some of the linebackers, some of the defensive lineman, and
- 25:12Speaker 5: you just don't see quarterbacks that have that kind of strengthen.
- 25:16Speaker 5: And I said this earlier in the week, and it's
- 25:20Speaker 5: not very often that you have to have a tackling
- 25:23Speaker 5: plan for a quarterback. Okay, Now, look when I say
- 25:27Speaker 5: tackling plan, you typically have to have a tackling plan
- 25:31Speaker 5: for a guy that's that's big and strong. Derrick Henry Henry, right,
- 25:37Speaker 5: you literally had sometimes Henry tackling drill. As we know
- 25:41Speaker 5: sometimes that doesn't even work.
- 25:44Speaker 2: And you had Dereck Henry tackling drills, right, Yeah, I
- 25:48Speaker 2: mean specific, that's right. The Jaguars used to have Derek
- 25:51Speaker 2: Henry tackling drills. So when you go against Anthony Richardson,
- 25:55Speaker 2: you have to have a tackling plan much like you
- 26:00Speaker 2: did against Derrick Henry, because Anthony Richardson's that big and strong,
- 26:05Speaker 2: and so the running game is going to be where
- 26:10Speaker 2: it's at for the key for this defense if you
- 26:12Speaker 2: can really limit them and force Anthony Richardson to be
- 26:16Speaker 2: a passer. I think he struggles big time because he's
- 26:21Speaker 2: just young. He's young, and he's raw.
- 26:25Speaker 5: And he doesn't even have a lot of experience under
- 26:27Speaker 5: his belt in the collegiate system, much less one in
- 26:30Speaker 5: the NFL.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Speed it up for him, Speed it up, speed up
- 26:33Speaker 2: the game, force it to force him to throw some
- 26:35Speaker 2: up down the field and see what happens on the
- 26:37Speaker 2: back end. PR Productions, the official event production company of

- 27:14Speaker 7: do that in win the game. But when we're talking
- 27:16Speaker 7: about guys like you should always if you win the game,
- 27:20Speaker 7: doesn't really matter what your stat line is, even if
- 27:22Speaker 7: you have one catch, no catches. If I you know,
- 27:25Speaker 7: threw a pick through two picks and we win, obviously
- 27:27Speaker 7: I'm not gonna be happy with my performance, but I'm
- 27:29Speaker 7: gonna celebrate the team. I'm gonna be happy we won
- 27:31Speaker 7: the game. That's what this league is about. It's hard
- 27:33Speaker 7: to win. So when you find ways to win, you know,
- 27:36Speaker 7: that's That's the cool thing about our team is we
- 27:38Speaker 7: enjoy it. You know. We we understand that it's hard
- 27:40Speaker 7: to win, and we had that perspective cause it's not
- 27:43Speaker 7: really about personal stats individual stats. It's about the team.
- 27:49Speaker 2: That's a quarterback of course. Trevor Lawrence, Welcome back. It
- 27:51Speaker 2: is Jaguars Happy Hour, brought to you by the Saint

- 27:59Speaker 2: Jaguars Happy Are on ten Toedxcel ninety two point five FM,
- 28:02Speaker 2: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, JP, Shadwick, Jeff Vlagaman, Kay Stevens,
- 28:07Speaker 2: Jaguars reporters joining us in studio and the Hyundai Studios.
- 28:11Speaker 9: Hyundai Studios. Yes, thank you for having me.
- 28:13Speaker 2: M EC. Good to see you all. Right. Locker room
- 28:16Speaker 2: open the last two days, first chance we've really had
- 28:20Speaker 2: to be in there with the players they were. It
- 28:22Speaker 2: wasn't open during training camp. So hey, the mood seems light.
- 28:27Speaker 2: They're ready to go work, and that's a good place
- 28:30Speaker 2: to be for this team.
- 28:31Speaker 8: I think they're at the same point we're at. I
- 28:32Speaker 8: don't know if it's excitement or if you're just like,
- 28:34Speaker 8: all right, let's play football.
- 28:35Speaker 9: Like I don't know.
- 28:35Speaker 8: We got to see them now, like they actually have
- 28:37Speaker 8: to play some football, and as much as we want
- 28:39Speaker 8: to say on paper everything looks great and this offense
- 28:41Speaker 8: should be something, now they have to actually go out
- 28:44Speaker 8: and do it. So hopefully we see a lot of
- 28:45Speaker 8: that on Sunday and against the Colts. That's certainly possible
- 28:48Speaker 8: because of all this stuff going on over there.
- 28:51Speaker 2: It has a lot happening in Indy. Oh well, it
- 28:54Speaker 2: all starts at the top well and trickles down. But
- 28:58Speaker 2: I mean they go back the last year you think
- 29:00Speaker 2: about it. Frank Reich, who is a highly respected coach,
- 29:04Speaker 2: highly respected coach, he gets canned after I think it
- 29:07Speaker 2: was like a three five and one start.
- 29:09Speaker 5: Yeah, three five and one okay, with a team that
- 29:13Speaker 5: for real doesn't have great personnel. Okay, they can them
- 29:18Speaker 5: and have an issue at quarterback, so they take Matt Ryan.
- 29:21Speaker 5: They want to bench him. Who's the best option. I mean, look,
- 29:25Speaker 5: you may not like Matt Ryan, but he's your best option.
- 29:28Speaker 5: Then you're gonna bring in.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Beat the Jags Jeff Saturday, which look I like Jeff.
- 29:32Speaker 5: I think he's awesome on TV and I think he's
- 29:35Speaker 5: got a great personality.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Guy hasn't ever coached. You bring him in as the
- 29:40Speaker 2: head head coach, interim coach.
- 29:42Speaker 5: I mean there's a thing that there's a term that
- 29:45Speaker 5: you can use for that JP. Okay, and it's kind
- 29:48Speaker 5: of a two word. You put it together and both
- 29:50Speaker 5: words start with s's. The last word is show. I'll
- 29:53Speaker 5: let you figure the rest. I thought you're gonna give
- 29:55Speaker 5: it to us.
- 29:56Speaker 8: Choices were made, Yeah, interesting choices were made, and they're
- 30:01Speaker 8: still being made.
- 30:01Speaker 2: I mean the running back's not available, so okay, that
- 30:05Speaker 2: that has gone on, we'll hear from Fred Taylor. And
- 30:08Speaker 2: I talked to Fred Taylor about it, and we'll hear
- 30:11Speaker 2: from Fred coming up on countdown to kick off his
- 30:14Speaker 2: thoughts on that running back. I am, yes, you can
- 30:18Speaker 2: get it on the official Jaguars Sure, it's free on
- 30:22Speaker 2: the iTunes, Spotify or wherever you download podcasts. But hey,
- 30:26Speaker 2: when that's going on, it puts so much more pressure
- 30:30Speaker 2: on that rookie quarterback.
- 30:31Speaker 9: And that's the point.
- 30:32Speaker 8: You don't have to game plan for Jonathan Taylor, so
- 30:34Speaker 8: all of your focus can go onto Anthony Richardson. If
- 30:36Speaker 8: you're a rookie, you're dealing with so many things. You
- 30:38Speaker 8: guys have seen rookies start over the years and what
- 30:40Speaker 8: that can look like. So Anthony richards is going to
- 30:42Speaker 8: be dealing with that without anybody to bail him out.
- 30:44Speaker 8: So he's going to basically be the quarterback and the
- 30:46Speaker 8: running back essentially in this game on Sunday, and that
- 30:49Speaker 8: could be getting really ugly. Depending how things go, how
- 30:53Speaker 8: early and how quickly the Jags score, it could be
- 30:55Speaker 8: not great.
- 30:56Speaker 5: And oh, by the way, the running back that you
- 30:58Speaker 5: are going to roll out there and start, he just
- 31:00Speaker 5: got back to practice because he had a broken arm.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Yeah, he's on the report this week. Yes, that's not ideal.
- 31:07Speaker 5: And the guy that you're not gonna play you're starting
- 31:11Speaker 5: running back. By the way, you know, two years ago
- 31:14Speaker 5: he led the league in rushing with eighteen hundred and
- 31:17Speaker 5: eleven yards. I think it was pretty good.
- 31:19Speaker 2: That all said he might help a rookie quarterback that
- 31:22Speaker 2: you just drafted. Yes, we're talking about did you by
- 31:25Speaker 2: the way, did you see what the general manager said.
- 31:30Speaker 2: I'm sure he said a lot of things. Well, he
- 31:32Speaker 2: was asked about that whole situation, and his response was
- 31:35Speaker 2: you pay good players.
- 31:37Speaker 9: Interesting, Wow, I said, interesting choices were made.
- 31:40Speaker 2: All this, all these choices, all these things were talking about. Well,
- 31:44Speaker 2: you better go out and play well against this team
- 31:47Speaker 2: or I mean that's what it is. I mean the Jags.
- 31:49Speaker 2: We've been there's a egg.
- 31:51Speaker 9: We're gonna have a big problem.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Yeah, hype around this team. Well, as Calvin Ridley told
- 31:55Speaker 2: me a couple of weeks ago, we's got to go
- 31:57Speaker 2: play good. We have to go play before we can
- 31:59Speaker 2: get all these accolades and deserve them. They understand this.
- 32:04Speaker 2: It's business at hand this week.
- 32:05Speaker 8: You know, and I think at this point they get
- 32:08Speaker 8: that too. They try to tone us out as much
- 32:10Speaker 8: as they can. I think to not listen to the hype,
- 32:11Speaker 8: if you will, Trevor saying as much as his at
- 32:14Speaker 8: his press or just saying, you know, we try to
- 32:16Speaker 8: tone that out and not listen to it and just
- 32:18Speaker 8: do what we need to do. And you can tell
- 32:20Speaker 8: they're comfortable, they're happy with where they're at and we
- 32:23Speaker 8: need I think we will see that, hopefully very early
- 32:27Speaker 8: in the game and not trailing and doing dramatic comebacks
- 32:29Speaker 8: like we saw last year.
- 32:30Speaker 9: Hopefully we'll see it right out of the gate.
- 32:31Speaker 2: If you're looking for the MVP of the truck game,
- 32:33Speaker 2: looking no further than forward f one fifty. Loaded with
- 32:36Speaker 2: impressive capability and designed to dominate work play and everything
- 32:40Speaker 2: in between. This truck makes tough look easy. You're local
- 32:44Speaker 2: four dealer, proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Who is
- 32:48Speaker 2: the MVP of this game?
- 32:49Speaker 9: Sunday Kai, It's always Trevor, but beyond Trevor, who.
- 32:54Speaker 8: He decides to make the other MVP? I think I
- 32:57Speaker 8: think it'll be either Christian Kirker's agent, because I think
- 33:00Speaker 8: obviously you got to put so many resources into Calvin,
- 33:03Speaker 8: and I think either of those two might benefit from
- 33:06Speaker 8: it if you if you try to cover the slot
- 33:08Speaker 8: and curse anything, they might be the one that gets
- 33:10Speaker 8: left out, So he's the one that ends up getting
- 33:12Speaker 8: maybe you know, more balls thrown his way.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Why has he got to be an offensive guy?
- 33:17Speaker 9: I mean true, you're going against rookie quarterback. It could
- 33:19Speaker 9: be anybody a defense.
- 33:21Speaker 2: With three picks, It could be a couple of sacks.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Could I mean, I can tell you this and I
- 33:26Speaker 2: mentioned this earlier. The linebackers got to play big.
- 33:29Speaker 9: I'd love to see a good day from Devin Lloyd
- 33:31Speaker 9: to Foyer.
- 33:32Speaker 5: And of course you know I'm a fan of Devin Lloyd.
- 33:34Speaker 5: I'll where's Jersey next week? If he gets a couple
- 33:36Speaker 5: of takeaways.
- 33:37Speaker 2: You will two takeaways is all it's going to take.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Force a fumble or recover of fumble.
- 33:43Speaker 9: Or just interception.
- 33:45Speaker 2: He's involved in two takeaways involved You heard it here? Uh.
- 33:50Speaker 2: I think it's like this is you know, Gus Bradley's
- 33:53Speaker 2: defense likes to play back, make you work the field
- 33:56Speaker 2: and you know, matriculate the ball down the field. Tied
- 33:59Speaker 2: it it's a tight end game. I think this is
- 34:02Speaker 2: Evan Ingram. I think this is Christian Kirk on the
- 34:05Speaker 2: short stuff just past the linebacker. They could do that
- 34:09Speaker 2: short stuff with anybody though. They can, but I think
- 34:12Speaker 2: those two guys this is kind of their game and
- 34:15Speaker 2: they can just kind of build up yardage as it
- 34:17Speaker 2: goes away. I agree with you.
- 34:18Speaker 5: And here's here's one little piece of food for thought.
- 34:22Speaker 5: I guess who looks amazing in short area quickness talking
- 34:28Speaker 5: skill position for the Jaguars.
- 34:29Speaker 2: Oh, Christian Kirk and Calvin exactly, those two guys right there.
- 34:35Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm going to pick an offensive guy,
- 34:37Speaker 2: skill position guy in this, because you're going to get
- 34:40Speaker 2: them the ball quick and then let them work their
- 34:42Speaker 2: magic doing all that stuff. And when I, of course
- 34:45Speaker 2: those on radios like what's that stuff?
- 34:48Speaker 5: Make it the little movement with my hands, like you know,
- 34:50Speaker 5: they're moving quickly. And Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk got
- 34:53Speaker 5: short area of quickness. I thought that Christian Kirk was
- 34:57Speaker 5: special until I saw Calvin Ridley shre and camp.
- 35:01Speaker 8: He really does make everyone else looks slow and then
- 35:03Speaker 8: not and knock on him at all.
- 35:04Speaker 9: He's just Calvin so fast and so talented, stop and start.
- 35:09Speaker 5: I mean, man, I mean, it's just how does somebody
- 35:13Speaker 5: have that ability? And you know the great thing about
- 35:15Speaker 5: Calvin is is that he's got that skill set. But
- 35:18Speaker 5: then he also has the other skill set that goes
- 35:22Speaker 5: along with being a vertical wide.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Receiver, which is rare.
- 35:25Speaker 5: You know a lot of times guys have kind of
- 35:27Speaker 5: one or the other, you know, like for example, Michael
- 35:30Speaker 5: Pittman JUNR this week. I mean, big rangey possession receiver.
- 35:36Speaker 5: Can't do that jitterbug stuff, you know and short area stuff.
- 35:41Speaker 5: You know, he's one of those guys that you're just
- 35:43Speaker 5: gonna throw in the ball. He's gonna catch it, and
- 35:45Speaker 5: then he's gonna kind of get tackled with Calvin Ridley
- 35:48Speaker 5: and Christian Kirk. Once they get it, then you know,
- 35:51Speaker 5: you kind of hold your breath a little.
- 35:52Speaker 9: Bit, kind of when the fun starts.
- 35:53Speaker 2: The ball, Yeah, give him the football. Let them go
- 35:56Speaker 2: to work. Hey, uh, television tonight, I got two TV
- 36:00Speaker 2: stars in this on the show. I don't know what
- 36:04Speaker 2: to do. Yeah, but we're not the biggest stars tonight.
- 36:07Speaker 9: We are not the biggest stars tonight.
- 36:08Speaker 2: We have a really big star.
- 36:09Speaker 9: You think it's going to be a tight end game, Well,
- 36:11Speaker 9: Evan Ingram is going to be with us.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Great. Evan's awesome, He's fantastic. He's uh, and it's it.
- 36:20Speaker 5: I don't remember a locker room and I've been here
- 36:23Speaker 5: for for all of them in different capacities obviously, from
- 36:26Speaker 5: a player to you know, analysts, all these years, and
- 36:29Speaker 5: I don't remember a locker room that had like the
- 36:33Speaker 5: quality of guys that are in this one, you know,
- 36:35Speaker 5: from Evan and Zay and Christian and Trevor. I mean,
- 36:39Speaker 5: just high class guys, high character guys. I mean, it's
- 36:43Speaker 5: just it's awesome and so tonight for Jaguars All Access.
- 36:46Speaker 5: We have the tight end himself, Evan Ingram, and so
- 36:49Speaker 5: excited to have him on and because he's just so thoughtful,
- 36:54Speaker 5: well spoken, good football player.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Love the way he works.
- 36:58Speaker 5: I mean, he's a guy that takes his job seriously
- 37:01Speaker 5: and most importantly, he loves this football team.
- 37:04Speaker 9: And he loves some Jacksonville as a whole.
- 37:07Speaker 2: So come check it out tonight. Strings Sports Brewery, Springfield,
- 37:12Speaker 2: seven o'clock. Yep, yeah, I'll buy you a beer if
- 37:15Speaker 2: you come to i JP. I think that should be
- 37:17Speaker 2: enough to get you that didn't take it much at all.
- 37:19Speaker 2: I mean you bought me one last time, you know. Yeah,
- 37:22Speaker 2: that's true. I'll buy you one tonight quick, one, beau.
- 37:25Speaker 2: I'm gonna get watch that football football game. There's things
- 37:29Speaker 2: going on who you like in the game tonight.
- 37:32Speaker 9: I want to go with the Chiefs until you don't
- 37:35Speaker 9: till otherwise.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Yes, it's a good policy, I think.
- 37:38Speaker 9: And I won't next week I'll go I'll go DAGs
- 37:41Speaker 9: next week. This is the one week and then next week.
- 37:44Speaker 2: No is gonna be a really good football game, though,
- 37:47Speaker 2: I think so.
- 37:47Speaker 9: I do is Kelsey gonna play? Did they say?
- 37:50Speaker 2: I don't know? I don't think so. Camp City does
- 37:53Speaker 2: not have Chris Jones.
- 37:55Speaker 9: Also, yes, they said he.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Might be in a suite at the game.
- 37:59Speaker 9: Hilarious.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes has a new band of receivers. He does
- 38:04Speaker 5: Kadarius Tony kind of expected to be the number one,
- 38:06Speaker 5: but he really hasn't shown that he can be yet.
- 38:10Speaker 2: A game time decision for Kelsey tonight. But yeah, and
- 38:13Speaker 2: he's got the knee. Yes, I think that this is
- 38:16Speaker 2: going to be a really close football game. But Mahomes
- 38:20Speaker 2: will find a way he always does, usually usually does.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Until next week.
- 38:24Speaker 9: Yes, until next week.
- 38:26Speaker 2: I have a great show tonight. Thank you, Kay Stevens

- 38:52Speaker 2: by the Saint John's River Water Management District, Florida's Water.
- 38:56Speaker 2: It's worth saving. J. P. Shadwick, Jeff Loghman Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 39:02Speaker 2: We're on tenon XL ninety two point five FM on
- 39:06Speaker 2: the Pigstick today, Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Time
- 39:12Speaker 2: for the Injury Report, presented by Baptist Health and the
- 39:15Speaker 2: Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine provider of the
- 39:19Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars, and it has just come down about forty
- 39:22Speaker 2: five minutes ago. The Jaguars have two players on the
- 39:26Speaker 2: list this week. Antonio Johnson, rookie safety hamstring injury, has
- 39:30Speaker 2: not practiced this week. Doug Peterson said earlier this week
- 39:33Speaker 2: that he did not expect him from maybe another week
- 39:35Speaker 2: or two. We'll see how that hamstring goes. A lot
- 39:37Speaker 2: of people excited to see what he can do when
- 39:40Speaker 2: he's finally out there. He was really good on special
- 39:42Speaker 2: teams in the preseason. That's a little bit of way.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Tyler Lacey with a hip injury limited Wednesday and Thursday
- 39:49Speaker 2: in practice, the defensive lineman, the rookie out of Oklahoma State,
- 39:54Speaker 2: and the Indianapolis Colts have two players on the list,
- 40:01Speaker 2: running back Zach Moss for arm injury limited yesterday and
- 40:05Speaker 2: today and then Shaq Leonard in the concussion protocol and
- 40:09Speaker 2: now out of the protocol. He practiced full yesterday, full
- 40:11Speaker 2: again today. He should be a green light for the game.
- 40:14Speaker 2: And it's been a while. He was banged up a
- 40:16Speaker 2: lot last year. Back stuff going on. I mean, he
- 40:20Speaker 2: had a lot happening. But when he's out there and
- 40:23Speaker 2: he's healthy and he's playing at a high level, it
- 40:25Speaker 2: is an all pro level.
- 40:27Speaker 5: Yeah, he's pretty good. He had like two back surgeries,
- 40:31Speaker 5: he had an ankle issue, a broken nose last year.
- 40:34Speaker 5: Concussion protocol sounds like Jeff Lagova almost no.
- 40:38Speaker 2: But this was all like in two years. Guys had
- 40:41Speaker 2: it all put together.
- 40:43Speaker 5: He kind of limped his way at the end of
- 40:46Speaker 5: the twenty twenty one season and then last year his
- 40:48Speaker 5: back was just not great. And you know, if he's
- 40:53Speaker 5: on the field, he can be an absolute takeaway machine.
- 40:56Speaker 5: I mean, the guy's numbers are impressive, you know, so
- 40:58Speaker 5: essentially if you look at him from not even really
- 41:01Speaker 5: played a full five years, here's some of the numbers
- 41:04Speaker 5: that he's had. Seventeen forced fumbles, twelve interceptions, fifteen sacks
- 41:09Speaker 5: and this is from a stand up linebacker. I mean,
- 41:12Speaker 5: that's that's incredible numbers, which I don't know if there's
- 41:17Speaker 5: a linebacker in the history of the game that would
- 41:20Speaker 5: have had comparable numbers to those that played a stand
- 41:25Speaker 5: up line sacking like either a Mike or a Will
- 41:28Speaker 5: if you looked at it from a from a per
- 41:30Speaker 5: game production standpoint, I mean, those numbers are are mind boggling.
- 41:35Speaker 5: So I don't know if he's going to be healthy
- 41:37Speaker 5: or not. You know, his first and foremost is the backhield.
- 41:41Speaker 2: It's one way to find out that's backs.
- 41:43Speaker 5: Are tricky, you know, right, I mean everybody kind of
- 41:46Speaker 5: knows that. So now the other guy that I think
- 41:49Speaker 5: is really impressive is Ziar Franklin, and he's the other linebacker.
- 41:54Speaker 5: Last year he played a big role with E. J. Speed,
- 41:56Speaker 5: the two linebackers the Colts that played for the most
- 41:59Speaker 5: part of the you always have two linebackers that always
- 42:01Speaker 5: play on nickel and based downs, and Zion Franklin, I
- 42:05Speaker 5: think is a really good football player, really really talented
- 42:10Speaker 5: linebacker and very active. Gus Bradley loves him.
- 42:15Speaker 2: On the defensive line for the Colts. Staforest Buckner is
- 42:18Speaker 2: a fantastic player in the middle at top level tackle. Yeah,
- 42:22Speaker 2: top top level player. You think he's He's not obviously
- 42:26Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, who is right? Where does he rake in
- 42:29Speaker 2: that kind of pantheons? Yeah, and that's that's a great question. Uh,
- 42:33Speaker 2: Aaron Donald's probably at the top, with Chris Jones right
- 42:36Speaker 2: behind him, and then after that. You know, people could
- 42:38Speaker 2: probably argue a little bit, but I mean he's somewhere Washington.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Get the guys with the commanders are pretty good.
- 42:43Speaker 5: Yeah, Jonathan Allen and Payne, Darron Payne, And I think
- 42:47Speaker 5: Dron Payne last year had a better year than Jonathan Allen.
- 42:50Speaker 5: So I would have put pain a little bit higher
- 42:52Speaker 5: than Jonathan Allen.
- 42:55Speaker 8: Uh.
- 42:56Speaker 5: Leonard Williams, you know, is a guy that's in the conversation.
- 43:00Speaker 5: I would say Buckner's somewhere in that. You know, I
- 43:03Speaker 5: put him in the.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Top five the cell He wants to put him right
- 43:05Speaker 2: outside the top five. You know, we had this debate
- 43:07Speaker 2: earlier today.
- 43:09Speaker 5: Didn't they They traded a first round pick for him.
- 43:11Speaker 5: They did, and he's totally been worth a first round pick.
- 43:13Speaker 5: I mean, if you look in the last five years,
- 43:15Speaker 5: he's never had less than seven sacks in a year.
- 43:17Speaker 5: And for an interior pass rushers, nice, that's top numbers.
- 43:21Speaker 5: I mean, it's not you know, sixteen like Aaron Donald,
- 43:24Speaker 5: eighteen twenty like Aaron Donald.
- 43:26Speaker 2: He's a different like he's yeah, he's a freak. I mean,
- 43:29Speaker 2: he's in that Uh if he quit today, be the
- 43:31Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, he well in the in the upper
- 43:33Speaker 2: room of the Hall of Fame, Dion room, he would
- 43:37Speaker 2: be up there.
- 43:38Speaker 5: Okay, you know with Dion. But but to Forest, Buckner
- 43:41Speaker 5: is a really good player. He's really long six foot six,
- 43:45Speaker 5: which is you know, you don't see a lot of
- 43:48Speaker 5: defensive tackles that have that kind of length, which makes
- 43:51Speaker 5: him unique. Grover Stewart's a really good defensive tackle that
- 43:54Speaker 5: plays right next to him, but DoD obviously helps with
- 43:57Speaker 5: his iire Franklin Shack Leonard at linebacker EJ.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Speed.
- 44:02Speaker 5: He played there a lot last year with the injury
- 44:04Speaker 5: to Shack Leonard.
- 44:06Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a good unit. It's a tough unit.
- 44:09Speaker 2: The high water mark for points scored for the Jaguars
- 44:13Speaker 2: in Indianapolis all time is thirty one lower twenty seven,
- 44:21Speaker 2: twenty seven three different times, including last season and the loss.
- 44:26Speaker 2: They're two and one of those games, by the way,
- 44:28Speaker 2: scoring twenty seven, But they've never scored more than that
- 44:30Speaker 2: ever in either stadium in Indianapolis. I say they're going
- 44:34Speaker 2: above that.
- 44:36Speaker 5: Well if they do, I mean, if you look at
- 44:37Speaker 5: the Doug Peterson era, what you're eight and one when
- 44:41Speaker 5: you've scored over twenty four.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I like those numbers. Right, So it's scoring league.
- 44:47Speaker 2: You get twenty seven. I mean, it's you know, you're
- 44:49Speaker 2: and it's crazy to think about that though, right the
- 44:51Speaker 2: Colts ain't scoring twenty seven. I mean, if you were
- 44:53Speaker 2: to score twenty seven twenty four, I just don't see
- 44:55Speaker 2: how the Colts can generate. That means they're issues like that,
- 44:59Speaker 2: there's turnovers or giveaways or weird things are happening. A
- 45:02Speaker 2: lot of weird things, yeah, a lot of weird things.
- 45:05Speaker 5: Look, I think the Colts, if the Colts are going
- 45:07Speaker 5: to find a way to win they would have to
- 45:11Speaker 5: shorten the game, get some takeaways, play really good defense,
- 45:17Speaker 5: maybe get a special teams or a defensive score to
- 45:19Speaker 5: help out an offense.
- 45:21Speaker 2: And it would have to be a like a seventeen
- 45:24Speaker 2: thirteen game for any to find a way to win.
- 45:28Speaker 2: Just a slug like yeah, just one of.
- 45:30Speaker 5: Those, yeah, those and sloppy, one of those type of
- 45:34Speaker 5: games that the NFL doesn't want to see. Right, you
- 45:37Speaker 5: know that all the rules that they have are designed
- 45:39Speaker 5: to stop this from having nineteen seventy eight reared its
- 45:42Speaker 5: ugly head again, because the Colts are going to try
- 45:45Speaker 5: to try to bang it out on the ground.
- 45:47Speaker 2: With a multitude of running backs whoever is available. You know,
- 45:51Speaker 2: you got three of them in their backfield. But then
- 45:53Speaker 2: one On Richardson is number four, true, but actually probably
- 45:57Speaker 2: number one on the list. Yeah, because I mean the
- 45:59Speaker 2: guy that's for string on the depth chart is on
- 46:01Speaker 2: the injury report, that's right, So who's.
- 46:04Speaker 5: You know, he may or may not be watching the
- 46:07Speaker 5: preseason game of Anthony Richardson. You watch, you watch him,
- 46:13Speaker 5: and he's an immense talent, but you also watch a
- 46:17Speaker 5: lot of times the reaction to him. So in other words,
- 46:22Speaker 5: you're watching the body language of others on his team
- 46:25Speaker 5: to him, and you can tell that the wide receivers
- 46:31Speaker 5: have some frustration because when Anthony Richardson decides that, Okay,
- 46:36Speaker 5: my guy's not there right when he hits that back
- 46:39Speaker 5: foot on his drop and then he meant he might
- 46:42Speaker 5: see a flash, the eyes drop and then he wants
- 46:46Speaker 5: to take off, and then once he takes off, the
- 46:49Speaker 5: eyes don't come back up sometimes for the most part,
- 46:52Speaker 5: and then he might take off in literally when he
- 46:54Speaker 5: takes off in two steps, he can there's a guy
- 46:56Speaker 5: standing right there in front of him, wide open, and
- 46:58Speaker 5: he doesn't see him. And then there were the body
- 47:02Speaker 5: language of the wide receiver that was wide open. Come on, man,
- 47:05Speaker 5: I mean it's it's not Keishawn Johnson, but it's yeah,
- 47:11Speaker 5: but it's in along those lines JV.
- 47:14Speaker 2: You know, hey, coming up in just a few moments
- 47:17Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson Show, we'll hear from Jaguars head coach
- 47:20Speaker 2: Doug Peterson in studio. We'll get a chance to pick
- 47:23Speaker 2: his brain about this week and this game coming up
- 47:27Speaker 2: Sunday in Indianapolis. So you just kind of feel, uh,
- 47:30Speaker 2: we were talking to Ky earlier, there's just a confidence
- 47:34Speaker 2: around this place. Even though yes it's Week one, there's
- 47:36Speaker 2: a little you know, apprehension that's the first game, butterflies
- 47:41Speaker 2: and all that, but there is, uh, there's something to
- 47:44Speaker 2: this group.
- 47:44Speaker 5: It feels like well, and from earlier when when Kyle
- 47:48Speaker 5: was in here and I was talking about, you know,
- 47:50Speaker 5: I don't remember a better group of guys character wise,
- 47:53Speaker 5: having been around for all of the years of the Jaguars.
- 47:58Speaker 5: Those are the kind of guys that you want to have,
- 48:00Speaker 5: and those are the kind of guys that can help
- 48:04Speaker 5: you from having missteps, I think, is the way to
- 48:07Speaker 5: put it. And so I feel very confident about this
- 48:10Speaker 5: football team. I don't think it's a gimme you know.
- 48:13Speaker 5: I don't think any games in the NFL are gimmey.
- 48:15Speaker 5: And that's why we were talking earlier and you were like,
- 48:17Speaker 5: well do I want to get two score lead? And
- 48:19Speaker 5: you know, wait a minute, this is the one possession.
- 48:22Speaker 5: You don't know we're going seventeen to know, you didn't
- 48:24Speaker 5: know what's come on with seventeen point leads and just
- 48:27Speaker 5: blowing people out, setting records left and right.
- 48:30Speaker 2: Now.
- 48:30Speaker 5: The reality is is that you know that this is
- 48:33Speaker 5: a one score league, and this is a tight, tight league.
- 48:35Speaker 5: No matter who you're playing. And I think that this
- 48:38Speaker 5: is going to be a tough game because it's the
- 48:41Speaker 5: first game, and you know, you're you're still trying to
- 48:43Speaker 5: figure out your identity and you make your identity, and
- 48:46Speaker 5: you got to be making a lot of it in
- 48:47Speaker 5: the first game.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Also coming up in the next hour on the Network,
- 48:52Speaker 2: a conversation with Kenny Alberts NFL on Fox. It's the
- 48:55Speaker 2: thirtieth year of the NFL on Fox. He is the
- 48:59Speaker 2: only game bouncer to be there for all thirty seasons. Yeah, yeah,
- 49:03Speaker 2: he's got great genetics. Yeah.
- 49:09Speaker 5: Uh and and I've known Kenny a long time, known
- 49:12Speaker 5: as Dad, you know, going bait way back in the day.
- 49:16Speaker 5: And uh and I'm a big fan of Kenny albert
- 49:18Speaker 5: So you'll.
- 49:18Speaker 2: Hear part of that conversation coming up. The rest of
- 49:21Speaker 2: it will go up on the Official Jaguars Podcast network tomorrow.
- 49:23Speaker 2: Who's he working with? Is he working with Jonathan Wilma, Yeah,
