Speaker 1: The Jaguars continuing preparation for the week three game today.
0:56
Speaker 1: We heard earlier this week from Doug Peterson on Wednesday.
1:00
Speaker 1: It is a week to week league. The Jaguars this
1:03
Speaker 1: week might look different, according to the JAGS head coach.
1:08
Speaker 1: You do what it takes to win and and sometimes
1:11
Speaker 1: each week the game plans are going to be different.
1:13
Speaker 1: You know the way we attack an opponent is going
1:15
Speaker 1: to be different. The way our opponent attacks us is
1:17
Speaker 1: going to be different. Um, so you're you're constantly evolving
1:21
Speaker 1: and constantly, you know, Shaping your game plans. That way.
1:24
Speaker 1: What we did? Yeah, I mean, if there's a blueprint,
1:27
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you'd want to be that balance of run,
1:29
Speaker 1: pass and and success in the red zone and all that.
1:33
Speaker 1: But we know to his coaches that you know, sometimes
1:36
Speaker 1: it's uh, it could be a different offense from week
1:39
Speaker 1: to week just based on your opponent, depending on how
1:42
Speaker 1: they line up. For sure. Let's hear from the quarterback,
1:44
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, on carrying over a strong performance from last week. Definitely,
1:50
Speaker 1: I mean there's things, there's things that always that can
1:54
Speaker 1: always carry over, dependent on the defense you're playing. and Um,
1:58
Speaker 1: certainly things do. But as far as just your mentality
2:01
Speaker 1: has to you kind of have to flip the page
2:03
Speaker 1: and you look at more. You know that you don't
2:05
Speaker 1: just luck into a win like we did on Sunday.
2:07
Speaker 1: It's the preparation to get there, the focus, all those
2:10
Speaker 1: things and you just replicate it and that's the biggest things.
2:13
Speaker 1: That's the positive you take from it and you just
2:14
Speaker 1: try to do it again and again Um. But as
2:17
Speaker 1: far as just that result, that's not gonna it's not
2:19
Speaker 1: got many of the game on Sunday. You gotta just
2:21
Speaker 1: stick to your process and do it um every day
2:23
Speaker 1: of the week. Let's move to the defense, coming off
2:26
Speaker 1: US shut out last week over the coach and now
2:28
Speaker 1: a different challenge. Of course. Josh Allen, the outside Linebacker,
2:32
Speaker 1: explaining the game of chargers quarterback, Justin Herbert. His game
2:37
Speaker 1: speaks for himself, just like Jonathan Taylor, uh last week.
2:41
Speaker 1: You know he's a guy that you need to keep
2:43
Speaker 1: the eye on two because if you don't play your
2:45
Speaker 1: cards right, you know he can really he can really
2:48
Speaker 1: get you in. So this week is another tough challenge
2:51
Speaker 1: for us. You know we're we're up for the challenge, man,
2:53
Speaker 1: and we're excited about this challenge. This is a good
2:55
Speaker 1: team we're about to go face out there in l a.
2:58
Speaker 1: that's actually his discussion about the running back, who's a
3:02
Speaker 1: big out of the backfield in the passing game as well.
3:05
Speaker 1: He has three career receiving touchdowns against the Jaguars, and
3:09
Speaker 1: not on the ground. In fact, it's Jaguars happy. I
3:12
Speaker 1: already welcome in Jeff Lockhaman Jaguars analysts joining us now,
3:15
Speaker 1: and here we go. You Ready for Hollywood? You always
3:18
Speaker 1: are Hollywood. That, Ye, should be your middle l a
3:21
Speaker 1: should be your middle names. How far is Hollywood from?
3:25
Speaker 1: You know, I've never been to Los Angeles, so I
3:27
Speaker 1: think it's, you know, seven miles Hollywood considered in l A. Yeah, right,
3:34
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yes, I'm not a coach Guy. I
3:37
Speaker 1: know that at least. Yes, it's in the area. All right.
3:41
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it, though. I think I could
3:44
Speaker 1: match up well. I didn't get to see the UH,
3:47
Speaker 1: the stadium last year, you know. So it's one of
3:50
Speaker 1: the few stadiums in the NFL that I've never been to,
3:53
Speaker 1: and so I'm looking forward to you know, last year,
3:55
Speaker 1: with the covid protocols that were in place, I wasn't
3:59
Speaker 1: able to make the trip because of my proximity to
4:02
Speaker 1: someone who had covid, and so I didn't make the
4:06
Speaker 1: trip and so I uh, what what do you do
4:11
Speaker 1: during the game? I watched the game with my underwear
4:14
Speaker 1: and eating cheetos, of course. Now, I watched the game
4:19
Speaker 1: and I had the radio on and listened to Tony
4:22
Speaker 1: and frank and eight cheetos, you know, I think that
4:26
Speaker 1: was the week I wasn't in studio either. It was
4:28
Speaker 1: the same reason. Yeah, Youtube, Ye, I watched it, did
4:31
Speaker 1: the pregame from the house. Yeah, it was just crazy.
4:34
Speaker 1: Just the last couple of years have been a little crazy.
4:36
Speaker 1: But anyway, you know, the stadium I'm looking forward to
4:39
Speaker 1: seeing because there the Taj Mahal of NFL stadiums for
4:45
Speaker 1: many years has been Dallas and from what everybody tells me,
4:50
Speaker 1: they say that this new place in l a is
4:52
Speaker 1: something else. So I'm looking forward to seeing it, you know,
4:55
Speaker 1: just because I haven't seen it and uh, you know,
4:59
Speaker 1: it's a it's like a hole in the ground, I hear. Yeah,
5:02
Speaker 1: it's Um, you know, so that the planes don't fly
5:04
Speaker 1: into it. They built it down instead of up. So
5:08
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if they've played in the Taj Mal Hall,
5:12
Speaker 1: the Oakland Coliseum, the city dump, Um. The Jaguars are
5:17
Speaker 1: not fared well at any venue on the west coast
5:19
Speaker 1: all time. What is it like? Fifteen and three. Yeah,
5:22
Speaker 1: the other way. Three wins, fifteen losses. Fourth West Coast
5:27
Speaker 1: teams against the Jaguars and then the chargers specifically, owing
5:32
Speaker 1: five in California. Yeah, against the chargers man. Yeah, that's uh,
5:36
Speaker 1: that's crazy. But here's the reality that the Jaguars football
5:40
Speaker 1: team it's always a challenge going from the East Coast
5:44
Speaker 1: to the West Coast and I think it's I'd love
5:46
Speaker 1: to know, but but you would. Do the West Coast
5:50
Speaker 1: teams have the same problem traveling to the East Coast? Historically?
5:55
Speaker 1: I think probably depending on what time the game is,
5:58
Speaker 1: because if it's a one PM game here, am there
6:01
Speaker 1: ten am. Nobody likes to play football ten am. I
6:04
Speaker 1: think the raiders have that here, unless you're playing in London. Right.
6:07
Speaker 1: The raiders have that here this year when the raiders
6:10
Speaker 1: come to Jacksonville. The travel. The one thing that I
6:14
Speaker 1: am and was glad to hear was when head coach
6:18
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson talked about traveling to the west coast how
6:21
Speaker 1: their schedule would be and that they're traveling on a
6:24
Speaker 1: Saturday and there's been some regimes in the past that
6:30
Speaker 1: believe that traveling on Friday was the way to do it.
6:34
Speaker 1: And as a player I hated traveling on a Friday
6:37
Speaker 1: because we we did that a couple of times and
6:39
Speaker 1: I never liked it. And the reason why I never
6:42
Speaker 1: liked it is that it almost felt like you were
6:43
Speaker 1: on a vacation trip instead of a business trip, because
6:47
Speaker 1: you know, on Friday when you get out there, you're like,
6:48
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what are we gonna do? Where are we
6:50
Speaker 1: gonna go eat? You know, let's do this, let's do that,
6:55
Speaker 1: and uh, and so your mind has a tendency to
6:57
Speaker 1: drift and then you know, you can get distracted. You know,
6:59
Speaker 1: maybe got family, maybe got friends, and you know, we
7:03
Speaker 1: got idle time. You know what they say about idle
7:05
Speaker 1: time and idle minds can be a problem. Is that
7:08
Speaker 1: what they say? Yeah, and I always liked it to
7:12
Speaker 1: where you just went out there on a Saturday and
7:14
Speaker 1: everybody's like, well, you know, you can't get adjusted to
7:16
Speaker 1: the time zone. Who Cares? I mean, it's not about
7:21
Speaker 1: an adjustment, it's about a mindset and that you're traveling
7:24
Speaker 1: for business and that you're going out there with a purpose,
7:27
Speaker 1: and that's to play good football. It's not about, well,
7:29
Speaker 1: we're going to the west coast, we're gonna hang out
7:31
Speaker 1: on Friday, you know, and you know we get out
7:34
Speaker 1: there early and then Saturday, you know we're gonna find
7:37
Speaker 1: something to do because we got a lot of time
7:39
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. And No, you you travel out there
7:41
Speaker 1: to play football game and it's what it's about. And
7:44
Speaker 1: so you you go out there, you take care of
7:45
Speaker 1: business and then you come home. You know, it's a
7:48
Speaker 1: longer flight, but people say that it's making that big
7:50
Speaker 1: of a deal. Oh, you can get you gotta drink
7:53
Speaker 1: plenty of fluids and you gotta, you know, make sure
7:55
Speaker 1: you avoid swelling. And what are we're supposed to do
7:58
Speaker 1: that anyway, like this is normal day to day walking around.
8:01
Speaker 1: And Yeah, I mean it's uh, I never really understood.
8:05
Speaker 1: I never felt like, okay, I'm on a plane for
8:09
Speaker 1: an hour and a half and then versus I'm on
8:11
Speaker 1: the plane for four hours. Man, that extra hour and
8:14
Speaker 1: a half but really knocked me out, you know. I just,
8:17
Speaker 1: you know, I just, you know, I got these a
8:18
Speaker 1: demon and swell and no, I never felt that as
8:21
Speaker 1: a player. And I mean, yeah, I don't know. They
8:24
Speaker 1: do all these studies, you know, studies on adapting to
8:28
Speaker 1: time zones and stuff like that. Like look, I don't
8:32
Speaker 1: know what all that means, but I can just tell
8:33
Speaker 1: you that the mindset is if you travel on a Saturday,
8:36
Speaker 1: we're going out there to play football game and that's it.
8:38
Speaker 1: We're there for business. you go out there on a Friday,
8:41
Speaker 1: then it becomes other things involved and that's not good.
8:44
Speaker 1: All right, so the Jaguars lost the game they felt
8:48
Speaker 1: like they should have one week one in Washington. I
8:51
Speaker 1: would say that. No, no, okay, they did. They had
8:54
Speaker 1: the lead. They rallied back to that's what I'm saying.
8:57
Speaker 1: I'm saying that. They're not saying that. I'm saying. Yeah,
9:01
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that you're clarifying. I'm not
9:03
Speaker 1: putting in anybody else's mouth. I said they probably should have.
9:06
Speaker 1: Kind of did when you first said that. I don't care.
9:08
Speaker 1: Week two, the colts come here and the Jaguars shut
9:12
Speaker 1: them out. They correct a lot of mistakes, twenty four
9:14
Speaker 1: nil and the penalties go down by ten. They're scoring
9:18
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the red zone, they play great defense, they
9:21
Speaker 1: get takeaways again and it pays off. Well, now it's
9:24
Speaker 1: on to week three and okay, maybe there's a little optimism,
9:26
Speaker 1: some build up, and there is some of that, but
9:29
Speaker 1: it's onto the next and this mantra of so what now?
9:33
Speaker 1: What has been echoed around the building this week? Sure
9:36
Speaker 1: it's not. So what what now? I'm sure. Okay, I'm
9:40
Speaker 1: just checking. I'm sure, and again I don't care, but
9:44
Speaker 1: you get the idea either way. I like that idea, though.
9:48
Speaker 1: The so what now what? Well, I love I love
9:52
Speaker 1: that from the standpoint of because, you know, on this
9:56
Speaker 1: morning I'm listening to all the different interviews from yesterday.
10:00
Speaker 1: You're listening to Doug, listening to Trevor, listening to Josh Allen,
10:06
Speaker 1: and from Doug's press conference he talked about so what
10:11
Speaker 1: now what? Okay, well, then you listen to Josh. So
10:15
Speaker 1: what now what? Then you listen to Trevor. So what
10:18
Speaker 1: now what? So I'm not really attached to the mantra
10:24
Speaker 1: so much as I am attached to I love the
10:27
Speaker 1: fact that a coach has talked about something and that
10:31
Speaker 1: he's put out a talking point to get the player's
10:35
Speaker 1: attention and focus in a certain direction and it hit
10:39
Speaker 1: home because they're speaking that same language. To me, that's
10:44
Speaker 1: what the important thing is, and that is that the
10:46
Speaker 1: messaging that the head coach is putting to his football
10:50
Speaker 1: team is being heard, which means that he's reaching them
10:55
Speaker 1: and that they believe in him. And that that's the
10:59
Speaker 1: part that I love of because a lot of times
11:02
Speaker 1: there's been some meetings before that you walk out of
11:05
Speaker 1: and somebody would ask you what the head coach and
11:07
Speaker 1: guys might go, Huh, he talk? Did he talk? Did
11:11
Speaker 1: he say something? But that's good stuff. I mean that's
11:14
Speaker 1: the thing, I think that's important about that. So uh,
11:18
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for for coaching and what
11:21
Speaker 1: coaches do. And and that's a hard job, man. It's
11:23
Speaker 1: a hard job sometimes to reach the minds because you know,
11:27
Speaker 1: in the locker room and I think from a coaching
11:29
Speaker 1: standpoint you have to be a leader, but you can't
11:32
Speaker 1: do it alone. You have to be able to have
11:36
Speaker 1: the carriers of your message. You have to have players
11:39
Speaker 1: in that locker room that can carry your message to
11:42
Speaker 1: the locker room, to those that are hard to reach,
11:46
Speaker 1: and that's important and you obviously want to have that
11:48
Speaker 1: message being carried by some of your best players that
11:51
Speaker 1: you have. And so you want to be able to
11:54
Speaker 1: make sure that you're reaching your best players. And and
11:56
Speaker 1: so clearly the message is getting it's getting heard and
12:00
Speaker 1: now it's being delivered elsewhere from those players. Let's take
12:05
Speaker 1: a time out. We'll come back and get into some
12:06
Speaker 1: of the matchups in this game, because there are quite
12:08
Speaker 1: a few intriguing ones, I think, especially in the trenches
12:12
Speaker 1: in this game, both sides of the ball. Let's go
12:15
Speaker 1: really really good, good matchups both sides of the ball.
12:17
Speaker 1: And some scary ones too, now, some ones that you
12:20
Speaker 1: got grave concern about. Don't be scared, bogs, I'm not scared.
12:27
Speaker 1: I'm not scared, JP I don't get scared. Sounded like
12:30
Speaker 1: you were fear. Pr I productions, the official event production

13:17

13:20
Speaker 1: I remember when I did mine. Um, sitting down, sneezing
13:23
Speaker 1: and coughing, laughing, all that kind of stuff can kind
13:26
Speaker 1: of agitate and irritate the area. Um, but it just
13:29
Speaker 1: takes it just takes, you know, time to heal. That's
13:33
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson. Earlier this week Jaguars Game Day radio,
13:36
Speaker 1: brought to you by Y star Credit Union. Do Good,
13:39
Speaker 1: bank better. And it's Jaguars happy hour on a Thursday.
13:41
Speaker 1: It's week three. The Jaguars head cross country to face
13:45
Speaker 1: the L A chargers at the four oh five kickoff time.
13:48
Speaker 1: It's so far stadium in Englewood, California, and the Jaguars, well,
13:54
Speaker 1: they think they're going to face Justin Herbert who. Well,
13:57
Speaker 1: it's Rib Watch two. It continues after the Thursday night
14:01
Speaker 1: game where he injured his ribs in the game in
14:03
Speaker 1: Kansas City. He finished the game and threw a touchdown
14:08
Speaker 1: late and and did a lot of things after that injury.
14:11
Speaker 1: But everybody's kind of keeping an eye on the ribs
14:15
Speaker 1: of the quarterback for the chargers and of course, Doug Peterson,
14:19
Speaker 1: their quarterback in the NFL for a long time, had
14:21
Speaker 1: a couple of times in his career had a rib issue.
14:23
Speaker 1: It's it's hard to do a lot of things. We'll
14:26
Speaker 1: see what happens in this one. That's say, something to
14:28
Speaker 1: watch certainly, and it can affect the way he plays.
14:31
Speaker 1: You obviously saw it on the field on Thursday night
14:33
Speaker 1: where he's even in running. It was an issue. Yeah, well,
14:35
Speaker 1: a couple of things wanted that. That happened in a
14:38
Speaker 1: game and it was a week ago today because they
14:41
Speaker 1: played on Thursday night against Kansas City in Kansas City
14:46
Speaker 1: and Um, so he's got some extra time to heal
14:49
Speaker 1: because of Thursday game to the following Sunday game and uh,
14:54
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be interesting to watch and see how
14:56
Speaker 1: he responded. I had a rib cartilage issue in college
15:00
Speaker 1: one time and extremely painful. Was it a football injury
15:05
Speaker 1: or was it something extracurricular? It was. Yeah, it was
15:07
Speaker 1: a football injury. It wasn't from the extracurricular JP. And
15:12
Speaker 1: UH UH. kind of weird how things kind of come
15:16
Speaker 1: back around right, because not long ago tyrod Taylor, was
15:19
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback of the of the chargers, has a
15:23
Speaker 1: rib injury, goes to get it injected and the doctor
15:28
Speaker 1: sticks the needle and I guess too deep and it
15:30
Speaker 1: collapses the lung. I guess that he and now tyrod
15:35
Speaker 1: Taylor has currently has a five million dollar lawsuit against
15:39
Speaker 1: this doctor, Gazaniga. I guess. Is How you pronounced his name,
15:44
Speaker 1: who was still the doctor of the chargers. So what
15:48
Speaker 1: do you think the confidence level for Justin Herbert is
15:51
Speaker 1: in this doctor? I mean, I'm just putting on extra paddy.
15:54
Speaker 1: I'm like, Doctor, stay away from my rich and you're
15:58
Speaker 1: not no needles. No, Oh no, you're not looking at
16:01
Speaker 1: my rist and that's got to be kind of weird, right,
16:04
Speaker 1: that whole situation with this injury and and this doctor Um.
16:10
Speaker 1: But nonetheless it's gonna be kind of a Justin Herbert Watch,
16:14
Speaker 1: I guess you can say, from now until all the
16:16
Speaker 1: way to kickoff time, because the supposedly he had light
16:22
Speaker 1: throwing on Tuesday Herbert, and then Wednesday he was going
16:26
Speaker 1: to go to practice and progress as they saw fit.
16:30
Speaker 1: So they were gonna kind of play it by ear.
16:33
Speaker 1: Haven't gotten the injury report from today limited and it
16:37
Speaker 1: comes late because they're west coast coast team. So that's
16:41
Speaker 1: something that's obviously gonna be a big thing to kind
16:44
Speaker 1: of keep an eye on. He's a good football player,
16:46
Speaker 1: he's a good young quarterback, he's got a brilliant arm,
16:49
Speaker 1: he is he's got all the measurables and uh, I
16:54
Speaker 1: just hope that this is kind of this game is
16:56
Speaker 1: kind of the precursor of many more to come. What
17:00
Speaker 1: I mean by that the Brady Manning thing that went
17:04
Speaker 1: on for years. Well, does the does the League have
17:08
Speaker 1: one of those? I mean right now is Josh Allen
17:10
Speaker 1: and Patrick. It's about it. Wouldn't it be great if
17:13
Speaker 1: it's a Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert type thing, where it
17:18
Speaker 1: doesn't happen all the time, just like it didn't happen
17:21
Speaker 1: all the time with the Colts Patriots, but when it
17:23
Speaker 1: did it was the marquee matchup of the week, you know.
17:27
Speaker 1: So you hope that what we're gonna see in this
17:31
Speaker 1: game is kind of a sign of things to come
17:35
Speaker 1: in the future. And Uh, we'll see if that ever
17:38
Speaker 1: happens or not, because obviously it takes a lot of
17:42
Speaker 1: winning and a lot of successful quarterback play for that
17:45
Speaker 1: to happen. But that's me just living in my dream world,
17:48
Speaker 1: hoping that Trevor Lawrence turns out to be a great
17:51
Speaker 1: one and that, you know, Justin Herbert and him can
17:53
Speaker 1: have a lot of great matchups in the future. A
17:56
Speaker 1: lot of good weapons around the quarterback out there as well,
18:00
Speaker 1: wide receivers, running back hecklers. We mentioned earlier, is a
18:03
Speaker 1: thread out of the backfield and the passing game and
18:06
Speaker 1: and it's a little tougher to bring down. I'm gonna
18:10
Speaker 1: argue that you don't think so. Well, look, Eckler is
18:16
Speaker 1: a great back. When I say a great back, he's
18:19
Speaker 1: a he's a nice combination of a guy that can
18:22
Speaker 1: can be a factor in in the rushing attack and
18:24
Speaker 1: the passing attack. If you look at his numbers, not
18:28
Speaker 1: counting this year, the previous three years, he's averaging catching
18:31
Speaker 1: over seventy balls a year and that's a lot, a
18:35
Speaker 1: lot of a lot for running back. And he's been
18:37
Speaker 1: good on the ground as well. I mean he but
18:39
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago I think he had a
18:41
Speaker 1: thousand thousand, thousand receiving thousand rushing really strong back. I
18:45
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be impairedive the Devon Lloyd and the
18:48
Speaker 1: Jaguars linebackers have a really strong game against him. But okay,
18:52
Speaker 1: let's look at the other guys. Okay, we know that
18:56
Speaker 1: UH Keenan Allen has been a great player for a
18:58
Speaker 1: long period of time and there's no arguing that. But
19:01
Speaker 1: he's been out with the hamstring. Didn't play in in
19:04
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game against Kansas City. Could he play
19:07
Speaker 1: this week? Gots something that's gonna be also that's gonna
19:10
Speaker 1: be watched closely. Mike Williams is a guy that had
19:14
Speaker 1: monster game, you know, and he's having a really good
19:17
Speaker 1: start to his year. And but I will say with him,
19:22
Speaker 1: is he a big play guy? I mean a guy
19:26
Speaker 1: like gonna run by you and he's explosive. You know,
19:29
Speaker 1: you hold your breadth every time he gets it. No,
19:32
Speaker 1: he's just a big target and he doesn't get great separations.
19:35
Speaker 1: So we always has to make the contested catch. And Look,
19:38
Speaker 1: the reality is he's great at making the contested catch.
19:41
Speaker 1: You can't argue that. But does he scare a defensive coordinator? No,
19:49
Speaker 1: this Keenan Allen Scared Defensive Court coordinat no, they got
19:53
Speaker 1: great respect for him, though, but I don't think he
19:55
Speaker 1: scares coordinators. But I think the quarterback act, I don't
20:01
Speaker 1: want to say scares you, definitely worries you just because
20:03
Speaker 1: he's young and he's and he's got such a command
20:06
Speaker 1: of the offense, he's got such a strong arm. But yeah,
20:10
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not I'm not kind of sold that
20:12
Speaker 1: the chargers have this whole plethora of offensive weapons and
20:18
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is just, you know, delivering the ball all
20:20
Speaker 1: over the place. I'd make the argument that if I
20:25
Speaker 1: had to make a choice between okay, do I take
20:28
Speaker 1: the Jaguars weapons or do I take the chargers weapons?
20:33
Speaker 1: I don't know, JP I. I don't think it's as
20:35
Speaker 1: an easy of a decision as most people would think.
20:37
Speaker 1: You know, most people probably think all hands down the chargers.
20:40
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Christian Kirk J Rob Etn,
20:45
Speaker 1: who's the backup running back for the chargers? Tell me.
20:47
Speaker 1: Couldn't tell you exactly. WHO's the third wide receiver for
20:50
Speaker 1: the charge question. Couldn't tell you right. I mean, are
20:55
Speaker 1: they that dangerous? WHO's their tight end? But not? Yeah,
21:00
Speaker 1: it's a good one. It's a good one. So an
21:05
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great matchup. I think
21:07
Speaker 1: it's would be a good football game. And the interesting
21:10
Speaker 1: thing also about this game. Patrick Cavanaugh brought this up earlier.
21:14
Speaker 1: When's the last time you've seen a defensive mind and
21:18
Speaker 1: head coach and an offensive minded head coach and both
21:21
Speaker 1: of them are calling plays for their offense and their
21:23
Speaker 1: defense respectively, and so that's kind of another matchup right there,
21:28
Speaker 1: because Brandon Saley is a defensive guy and of course
21:32
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson is an offensive guy. So who's gonna win
21:36
Speaker 1: that battle? So yeah, that's a good point. Let's flip
21:39
Speaker 1: it around to that the Jaguars offense and this obviously
21:43
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is gonna have a huge hand in this,
21:46
Speaker 1: but if he has time to have a hand in
21:48
Speaker 1: it right the tackles are huge in this game. Cam
21:51
Speaker 1: Robinson on the left side, of course, Joan Taylor is
21:54
Speaker 1: off to a good start in the first two weeks.
21:56
Speaker 1: On the right side. It's gonna let me just just
21:59
Speaker 1: stop you just right there, just for a second, and
22:00
Speaker 1: I know you don't like to get interrupted, but you
22:03
Speaker 1: said Joan Taylor is off to a good start. I
22:05
Speaker 1: think Jowan is off to a really good start in
22:09
Speaker 1: past protection. I think he's got to find he's got
22:14
Speaker 1: to do better in the running game and especially a
22:18
Speaker 1: week like this, to where you really need your running
22:22
Speaker 1: game to hold those two guys at bay. Juwan has
22:26
Speaker 1: got to be better in a run game. I think
22:28
Speaker 1: cam has been pretty solid in the run game. Juan
22:31
Speaker 1: has been outstanding in past protection. Sorry, in the round,
22:34
Speaker 1: those two guys you speak of are Khalil Mack and
22:37
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa on the edge for the L A chargers.
22:41
Speaker 1: Max Ben at this for a long time. It's his
22:43
Speaker 1: third team in the NFL. I think he's got eighty
22:45
Speaker 1: sacks in his career. Joey Bosa a couple of years
22:48
Speaker 1: shorter of a career, but both guys can play at
22:51
Speaker 1: a very, very high level and you don't want third
22:54
Speaker 1: and seven plus in this game on a regular basis.
22:57
Speaker 1: That's bad for business. Joey Bosa, I think, is the
23:00
Speaker 1: one out of those two, that scares me the most.
23:04
Speaker 1: I think he's the one that's just ultra talented. He's
23:06
Speaker 1: got great hands, great identification. He's stronger then, I mean
23:15
Speaker 1: just so strong, and the way he plays the game,
23:18
Speaker 1: he rarely, rarely is is negated in a game always
23:25
Speaker 1: around the quarterback. I think Khalil Max Sloan down a
23:28
Speaker 1: little bit really yeah, Um, I mean not much, though, right.
23:32
Speaker 1: He's so down a little bit. I mean, you know
23:34
Speaker 1: he's not back JP. Here's the reality is. Is He,
23:41
Speaker 1: you know, moving too that many teams because he's still unbelievable.
23:45
Speaker 1: I mean the raiders did that trade just because they couldn't.
23:48
Speaker 1: They didn't want to pay the contract and then all
23:52
Speaker 1: of a sudden he's out of the bears traded to
23:54
Speaker 1: the chargers. I mean, do you trade a great player
23:59
Speaker 1: that you think is still on the on the ascent?
24:03
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's a bad football part, I'm
24:06
Speaker 1: just saying that I think he's slowed down a little bit.
24:07
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that he's not a good player. I
24:09
Speaker 1: don't want anybody to take that the wrong way, but
24:12
Speaker 1: I think, I think this is gonna be a good
24:14
Speaker 1: matchup between, you know, these guys and this and the
24:17
Speaker 1: scary thing is is that they don't just line up
24:20
Speaker 1: on one side. They move around. They do move Joey Bosa,
24:24
Speaker 1: for the most part, stays a little bit more on
24:26
Speaker 1: the left and then Khlil Mack has stayed a little
24:28
Speaker 1: bit more on the right, but then they do they flip.
24:32
Speaker 1: So it's uh, each guy's got to prepare for each guy.
24:35
Speaker 1: They're better study him and study him hard and put
24:38
Speaker 1: a lot of extra film study in, because I think
24:42
Speaker 1: that's where film study, film study pays off, I think
24:45
Speaker 1: for every position group, but when you're when you're talking
24:48
Speaker 1: about offensive and defensive Lineman, you really have to to
24:51
Speaker 1: finally study the the guy that you're facing, whereas a
24:57
Speaker 1: linebacker might study more of the whole big picture stuff
25:01
Speaker 1: and tendencies with downs and you know. But if you
25:05
Speaker 1: can gain little tips and little nuances with an individual's
25:09
Speaker 1: technique or footwork or alignment things just to get a
25:13
Speaker 1: little advantage, and this is gonna be a week, I
25:16
Speaker 1: think that you're gonna want to do that, especially when
25:18
Speaker 1: you're facing two extremely talented pass rushes. And we haven't
25:21
Speaker 1: even mentioned, I think, the biggest freak on the field
25:24
Speaker 1: for the chargers. And if you can get it in
25:26
Speaker 1: the air against that pass rush, derwin James is lurking
25:30
Speaker 1: on the back end of this defense. He got paid
25:32
Speaker 1: big time money and he's a two time first team
25:36
Speaker 1: all pro. He's had some injuries earlier in his career.
25:39
Speaker 1: Games only. How about that right? I mean that's just crazy.
25:42
Speaker 1: He's in his fifth year, only played thirty eight games
25:46
Speaker 1: and they paid him like a hall of Famer. But
25:49
Speaker 1: he's a great player to more all pros. He might
25:52
Speaker 1: be on his way. He is. He is simply fantastic.
25:55
Speaker 1: You know, when you watch the film and You watch
25:57
Speaker 1: guys like Joey Bosa and you watch guy, Khalil Mack.
26:01
Speaker 1: You're really impressed when you watch him, but then when
26:03
Speaker 1: you watch Derwin, Derwin James, it's like a whole another
26:06
Speaker 1: level and he just jumps out at you. He's just
26:09
Speaker 1: got freakish athletic ability and talent, Freakish and he he
26:15
Speaker 1: runs so well. He tackles strong. I mean the body
26:18
Speaker 1: slam that he had on Kelsey ragged doll in the
26:22
Speaker 1: other tight end when he was kind of just lasso
26:25
Speaker 1: and him and thrown down to the ground. I mean
26:28
Speaker 1: it's like it's very rarely that you say in the
26:31
Speaker 1: NFL that boy, he plays like a man among boys.
26:35
Speaker 1: Derwin James plays like a man among boys. Do you
26:40
Speaker 1: know who has the highest pass rushing efficiency rate in
26:46
Speaker 1: the National Football League? Pass rushing efficiency rate? Would you
26:50
Speaker 1: like ff would you like to explain what the hell
26:53
Speaker 1: that even means? Its just impact in the game, the
26:57
Speaker 1: percentage of success. The most impactful pass rusher in the
27:00
Speaker 1: League probably this team. No, I'm talking individuals, like individual players.
27:07
Speaker 1: I mean you would think like Aaron Donald. Well, miles
27:11
Speaker 1: Garrett's number one. Okay, that makes sense. Okay, P F.
27:15
Speaker 1: P F gives grays out for pass rushing efficiency miles
27:19
Speaker 1: Garrett is number one, which okay, when Aaron Donald's probably
27:24
Speaker 1: somewhere right there in the top and he doesn't have
27:27
Speaker 1: a whole lot of snaps at number two. But derwin
27:31
Speaker 1: James is number two. Really, how weird is that? I
27:36
Speaker 1: mean it's crazy, Huh. And his his past coverage ranking
27:42
Speaker 1: is high. Telling the guys he's a he's a he's
27:46
Speaker 1: a crazy freak. He's good when he you know, safety
27:50
Speaker 1: is typically a safety. Some are good that are up
27:53
Speaker 1: in the box, some are good back, some have, uh
27:59
Speaker 1: an ability to kind of be a cross between a
28:01
Speaker 1: safety and a corner, can play in the slot and
28:05
Speaker 1: some have the ability that they might even be able
28:09
Speaker 1: to line up and play man against one of the
28:11
Speaker 1: best receivers. I mean not, not a whole lot of them. Right, right,
28:14
Speaker 1: there's very few that can do all that. Derrowin James
28:17
Speaker 1: can do all that and he could play linebacker. Yeah,
28:20
Speaker 1: I talked to Adam Marshal letter today, who has the
28:22
Speaker 1: call on CBS. He was a linebacker and was kind
28:28
Speaker 1: of more of it in the box type guy, and
28:31
Speaker 1: that was the most impressive thing to him about Darwin
28:34
Speaker 1: James was his ability to do it all, because that
28:37
Speaker 1: and do it all well, not just like do it
28:39
Speaker 1: all because it's asked to do that, and he kind
28:41
Speaker 1: of does okay at it. I mean he he excels
28:45
Speaker 1: wherever they put them. Let's come back. We'll take a
28:47
Speaker 1: look at the injury report. That won't take long. Knock gunnwood.
28:51
Speaker 1: It's been a good couple of weeks so far. Yeah,
28:54
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at the latest of the charges,
28:57
Speaker 1: at least through yesterday. They have been released here as yet,

29:42
Speaker 1: Jeff Flagman, Brent reaverers on the video side, Joe Fortunato
29:46
Speaker 1: on the audio as always. The Jaguars faced the chargers
29:50
Speaker 1: this coming Sunday at so fi stadium in Inglewood, California,
29:54
Speaker 1: and what a game it should be. Good Battle of quarterbacks,
29:57
Speaker 1: of Herbert ump pass rushers both sides. The Offensive Line
30:01
Speaker 1: has challenges this week on both sides of the ledger
30:04
Speaker 1: and here here's this match up, here's here's some you know,
30:06
Speaker 1: we're talking a lot about the Khalil Mack and Joey
30:09
Speaker 1: Bosa and Cam Robinson and Juwan Taylor matchup. I think
30:15
Speaker 1: one of the ones that I'm really looking forward to
30:17
Speaker 1: watching kind of after the game, which is on film,
30:21
Speaker 1: when you can really afford that time, to watching an
30:25
Speaker 1: individual matchup is the chargers have a young left tackle
30:30
Speaker 1: who has a very famous last name, whose dad was
30:33
Speaker 1: a hell of a player for a long time for
30:36
Speaker 1: a team in L A, and that's Jackie Slater is
30:38
Speaker 1: the dad which his son, Ray Shawn Slater, is the
30:43
Speaker 1: starting left tackle for the chargers who was a high pick,
30:45
Speaker 1: I think number one picked last year in the draft
30:48
Speaker 1: for the chargers, and he is an outstanding player. Jackie
30:53
Speaker 1: was a right tackle back in the day with the
30:55
Speaker 1: rams and his son is a left tackle and arguably
30:59
Speaker 1: and talking to Bisselli earlier today, Tony thinks he's might
31:03
Speaker 1: be the best tackle in the game or one of
31:05
Speaker 1: the top couple best tackles in the game, which is
31:08
Speaker 1: pretty high praise for a second year player. And I
31:10
Speaker 1: was like, I haven't seen him yet and so I
31:13
Speaker 1: couldn't really make any comment on and I've been watching
31:17
Speaker 1: the chargers offense. Is Part of, you know, the week's prep.
31:19
Speaker 1: You know, you started diving into the into the film,
31:21
Speaker 1: and I already watched the chargers defense yesterday and studied them,
31:25
Speaker 1: and so today's kind of the offensive day and Tony's right.
31:29
Speaker 1: This young man slater at the left tackle position is
31:32
Speaker 1: really good. But the scary thing is is that their
31:34
Speaker 1: first round pick this year, which is ion Johnson. He's
31:38
Speaker 1: the right guard. He's a really good player too. So
31:43
Speaker 1: they're two best offensive lineman are our first year rookie
31:47
Speaker 1: and then a second year left tackle. And so now
31:51
Speaker 1: we're gonna see Trayvon Walker, the first overall picking the draft,
31:56
Speaker 1: versus arguably the best young left tackle in football and slater.
32:01
Speaker 1: I think that's a great match up. Josh Allen too,
32:04
Speaker 1: because they move around. How they move around a little
32:06
Speaker 1: bit but I think that's gonna be one of those
32:09
Speaker 1: get your popcorn ready and kind of watch film and
32:12
Speaker 1: watch that matchup, because I think he's gonna be a
32:14
Speaker 1: good one. Whoever ends up getting the right tackle, which
32:18
Speaker 1: is Trey Pipkins, the third he's probably the weak link
32:24
Speaker 1: him in the left guard and Pipkins has a foot injury.
32:29
Speaker 1: I think he was limited yesterday and he was didn't
32:34
Speaker 1: finish the game. He actually came out at the late
32:38
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. From watching film. Late in the
32:40
Speaker 1: third quarter he came out and then they ended up
32:42
Speaker 1: putting in Storm Norton, a backup tackle, was not very good,
32:48
Speaker 1: and so that's something. Even though we're watching the Justin
32:51
Speaker 1: Herbert thing and the Keenan Allen thing, you know, keep
32:54
Speaker 1: an eye on the the injury front with the offensive line,
32:57
Speaker 1: because Corey Linsley, they're starting center, has a knee. He's
32:59
Speaker 1: a captain. And then the right tackle, Pipkins, has a foot. Well,
33:05
Speaker 1: I hope he has two feet left, but he hasn't
33:07
Speaker 1: injured one of injury. But but it's crazy have me here.
33:10
Speaker 1: We are talking about multiple injuries that the chargers have
33:15
Speaker 1: and there's not one Jaguar on. Let's jumping ahead here.
33:18
Speaker 1: It's time for the injury report presented by Baptist Health
33:21
Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the Official Sports Medicine provider
33:25
Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars, where you just heard it from logs.
33:28
Speaker 1: The Jaguars again today have no injuries officially to report
33:33
Speaker 1: for a second third week in a row, which is awesome.
33:36
Speaker 1: The chargers, on the other hand, had, at least yesterday
33:40
Speaker 1: six players on the list. They have not announced their
33:43
Speaker 1: Thursday injury list yet. They announced this one last night
33:47
Speaker 1: around seven five or so. Two players do not practice Wednesday.
33:52
Speaker 1: J C Jackson, the cornerback, with an ankle issue, Corey Linsley,
33:56
Speaker 1: the center, with that knee injury. You talked about logs,
33:58
Speaker 1: and then four players were mitted Wednesday. Wide Receiver Keenan
34:02
Speaker 1: Allen with a hamstring issue, quarterback Justin Herbert with a
34:06
Speaker 1: ribs injury, they're calling it, the tight end, Donald Parham Jr,
34:11
Speaker 1: a hamstring, and then Trey Pipkins, the third, the tackle
34:14
Speaker 1: with a foot. Here's the Trivia question for you. Why
34:16
Speaker 1: would they call Justin Herbert's injury a ribs plural versus
34:22
Speaker 1: just rib? That's a good question. I don't know. Maybe
34:27
Speaker 1: they just keeping it general. Well, maybe because the cartlet
34:30
Speaker 1: sits between the actual bone and the ribs themselves, maybe
34:33
Speaker 1: it feels like four ribs and it's only a half
34:35
Speaker 1: a rib or something. I don't know. I had ribs
34:38
Speaker 1: for enough, badly enough. That's the only ribs thing I
34:47
Speaker 1: worry about. Yeah, well, you know. And it is remarkable.
34:51
Speaker 1: We were on the field, practice field today during the
34:53
Speaker 1: open media time, talking amongst us and I don't remember
34:58
Speaker 1: not having an injury on an injury list this deep
35:01
Speaker 1: into a season. Yeah, yeah, it's it's uh, you know.
35:04
Speaker 1: And again, yeah, on Wood because, uh, you know you're
35:09
Speaker 1: gonna deal with it at some point. You just, you know,
35:11
Speaker 1: hope that it's not significant. You know what I mean.
35:15
Speaker 1: Significant by means, you know, the type of player that
35:18
Speaker 1: you lose in the number of players. And you know,
35:21
Speaker 1: and you'd like to sit there and say and give
35:23
Speaker 1: credit to coaching staff, the training staff, the medical care
35:28
Speaker 1: that they get. And and yes, Kevin Kaplan, you're the
35:31
Speaker 1: best ever, okay. And and uh, the best surgeon ever. Okay,
35:37
Speaker 1: he's fixed me a couple of different times and he is,
35:40
Speaker 1: he's an amazing doctor. And it's funny he fixes you,
35:43
Speaker 1: I go in, he's like, yeah, you're just getting old.
35:45
Speaker 1: I mean, how does that work? But my point of
35:50
Speaker 1: that is is it? Sometimes it's just it's just luck.
35:53
Speaker 1: You know. It's and uh, and a lot of this
35:56
Speaker 1: to give credit to the players for doing the right
35:58
Speaker 1: things during the week, during the off season to be
36:00
Speaker 1: ready to go. It's not all that. It's all that
36:02
Speaker 1: combined and a little luck on top. And well, all
36:06
Speaker 1: that combined and a lot of luck, you know, because
36:09
Speaker 1: look and look at look. I'm I'm all four luck.
36:11
Speaker 1: I mean there's nothing wrong with having a little bit
36:13
Speaker 1: of luck, but that's that's a big part of it.
36:17
Speaker 1: If you're looking for the M V P of the

38:01
Speaker 1: they you know, they're trying to get this thing ready
38:04
Speaker 1: completely done prior to next season, and I mean they're

38:14
Speaker 1: mean they're all the guys that are putting the time
38:16
Speaker 1: in there. Wow, man, good job, because they are doing
38:19
Speaker 1: a lot of work. Mark lamping was on free game
38:22
Speaker 1: this past Sunday the Jaguars President, and said that all
38:26
Speaker 1: the like five employees over there. I've all had a
38:30
Speaker 1: chance to come to the game on Sunday against the colts,
38:32
Speaker 1: which was cool. And Yeah, it's good to see it's
38:36
Speaker 1: gonna be a nice facility. It's the beginning of what
38:38
Speaker 1: could be a lot of good changes around the stadium
38:41
Speaker 1: around here. Thing's gonna be big. It's huge. Yeah, it's
38:45
Speaker 1: just a footprint. Looking at it now in the honor
38:47
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's really big. Like I was kind of
38:50
Speaker 1: joking around talking about how you the you know, the
38:52
Speaker 1: the rooftop field, right. You really could, I mean, if
38:57
Speaker 1: you wanted to, have probably a smaller practice field on
39:01
Speaker 1: top of the roof. It's such a big I don't
39:03
Speaker 1: know how many, you two dimensional square feet it would
39:08
Speaker 1: be on top of that roof, but it's a lot
39:10
Speaker 1: you could do like walk throughs. You know, you could, yeah,
39:13
Speaker 1: get some Sun. I don't even have to leave the
39:16
Speaker 1: building technically, because you just go on the roof. Yeah, yeah,
39:20
Speaker 1: welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. That's Jeff logoman. I'm
39:23
Speaker 1: JP shadrick. The Jaguars face that chargers this Sunday, four
39:26
Speaker 1: oh five. This is the chargers team that a lot
39:28
Speaker 1: of people pick to do some big things in the
39:31
Speaker 1: A F C West. It's a difficult division. Of course
39:34
Speaker 1: the Jaguars will see every team in that division this
39:37
Speaker 1: season at some point. Uh, but boy, this chargers team.
39:41
Speaker 1: They added Khalil Mack, they've got the quarterback, but their
39:45
Speaker 1: injury concerns I think in the long run, you know,
39:48
Speaker 1: if things if they get healthy and do some things,
39:51
Speaker 1: they can still be in the mix, certainly, but they're
39:54
Speaker 1: they're a little dinged up this week going through that
39:55
Speaker 1: injury report and the matchup for the Jaguars, even injured
39:59
Speaker 1: or otherwise, I think they have a chance to to
40:02
Speaker 1: match up pretty well. Well. It's a you know, the
40:06
Speaker 1: rams have just done a tremendous job in the last year,
40:11
Speaker 1: obviously winning a super bowl, and I don't know if,
40:16
Speaker 1: if the chargers aren't better than them this year. And
40:20
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, well, you know, the rams
40:22
Speaker 1: want a super bowl. Okay, and every year is different
40:25
Speaker 1: and this team, I think, and the chargers, has some
40:30
Speaker 1: momentum just from a personnel standpoint. When you look at
40:33
Speaker 1: them position by position, they have a lot of really
40:37
Speaker 1: good players. I mean offense, we we know we talked
40:39
Speaker 1: about Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and
40:43
Speaker 1: and Ekeler, the running back, but on the defensive side
40:46
Speaker 1: of the ball, we've talked about Khalil Mack and Joey
40:49
Speaker 1: Bosa and Erwin Derwin James, but we didn't even make
40:54
Speaker 1: any mention about J C Jackson, who has had seventeen
40:58
Speaker 1: interceptions in the last has two season, who they got
41:01
Speaker 1: in free agency, you know, a high pick from a
41:05
Speaker 1: year ago who, oh, by the way, you might know
41:07
Speaker 1: his dad's name. Okay, because his name is a Sante
41:10
Speaker 1: Samuel Jr. Wait a minute, so he's related to Sante
41:14
Speaker 1: Samuel Sr. That's incredible. Thanks, loves right there. You are
41:21
Speaker 1: all over it. But Kyle Van Noy, Kyle Vanoy was
41:26
Speaker 1: a really good football player for the Patriots and uh,
41:31
Speaker 1: he's still a good football player now and as far
41:34
Speaker 1: as a blitzer, he does some good things as a
41:36
Speaker 1: pass rusher too. I mean this is this is a
41:39
Speaker 1: challenging game with with a lot of really good components.
41:42
Speaker 1: They're they're defensive minded. Head coach is supposedly has a
41:48
Speaker 1: great mind for defense or doing a lot of different things.
41:50
Speaker 1: So this is a good football game. It's gonna be
41:53
Speaker 1: a good matchup. I'm looking forward to seeing how the
41:56
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense and how cree Etive we've seen them be
42:01
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks and now in the first week.
42:03
Speaker 1: Some of those opportunities didn't end up getting executed, but
42:09
Speaker 1: the number of opportunities that they had in week one
42:12
Speaker 1: and then the number of opportunities that they had in
42:14
Speaker 1: week two that they did execute. Does that continue? Because
42:19
Speaker 1: this is a really good defense and you had a
42:23
Speaker 1: really good defense in week one and you didn't quite
42:25
Speaker 1: execute not a great defense in week two. Now you're
42:28
Speaker 1: going back to a really good defense with a lot
42:31
Speaker 1: of really good components and uh, I think it's gonna
42:34
Speaker 1: be a great challenge for this offense and Doug Peterson
42:37
Speaker 1: and his offensive staff. We'll hear from my Doug Peterson
42:40
Speaker 1: coming up about seven or eight minutes from now, top
42:42
Speaker 1: of the hour. You know that. I think that the
42:46
Speaker 1: Jaguars can help themselves with because we we know that
42:52
Speaker 1: this offense, or any offense, works better when you have
42:55
Speaker 1: a good running game. I think this week it's it's
42:59
Speaker 1: imperative that you get the running game going to take
43:02
Speaker 1: the pressure off of the tackles, to take the pressure
43:04
Speaker 1: off of your young quarterbacks, and so I think James
43:07
Speaker 1: Robinson is gonna be a huge part of this game
43:10
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get a win. Let's talk through that
43:12
Speaker 1: a little bit more from last week because you know,
43:15
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the average per rush,
43:18
Speaker 1: if you're just looking at statistics, was not great. But
43:21
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson said earlier this week that just the feel
43:24
Speaker 1: of it felt better than the average ended up being,
43:27
Speaker 1: because when they did run at certain times they were effective.
43:30
Speaker 1: They had the big run for the touchdown. Obviously that's
43:32
Speaker 1: one that's a clear one. Yeah, but play after play,
43:34
Speaker 1: I don't know how highly successful it was, but but
43:38
Speaker 1: because they were able to dominate defensively, there never was
43:42
Speaker 1: a concern that just choosing to handle ball off and okay, look,
43:47
Speaker 1: if we got a pun it's okay. You know so,
43:50
Speaker 1: but I think against. When you get to a better team, okay,
43:54
Speaker 1: then it needs to be we're gonna run the ball,
43:57
Speaker 1: but now we need to run the ball with fairly
43:59
Speaker 1: consistent and success, not just to run fifteen times or
44:03
Speaker 1: twenty times to have one pop on. Part of the
44:06
Speaker 1: reason you were able to stick with the running game
44:09
Speaker 1: last week was because of the tempo of the game,
44:11
Speaker 1: and the tempo of the game in large part was
44:13
Speaker 1: dictated because of the takeaways, which has been a huge,
44:18
Speaker 1: dramatic change from last year. You know, here's a number
44:21
Speaker 1: for you, J P. I can't wait. The Jaguars offense
44:25
Speaker 1: in got sixteen points off of the NFL low nine
44:31
Speaker 1: takeaways that the defense had. That's like, I mean the
44:34
Speaker 1: takeaway total is bad enough, but to get only sixteen
44:39
Speaker 1: all season off of the nine takeaways that the defense has,
44:44
Speaker 1: when you thought it couldn't get worse, this year, six
44:48
Speaker 1: takeaways by the defense in two games. In two games,
44:52
Speaker 1: seventeen points off of those six takeaways. So you have
44:57
Speaker 1: now exceeded in two games this year the number of
45:02
Speaker 1: points off of defensive takeaways. Two Games all it took
45:06
Speaker 1: to surpass an entire year's total from one yeah, that's
45:13
Speaker 1: crazy right. Oh, yes, it's crazy to be that bad
45:17
Speaker 1: at it last year to begin with, but now it's
45:20
Speaker 1: starting to come back the other way and it may
45:23
Speaker 1: only take you. I'M NOT gonna say it, and no, say,
45:27
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about you can't. I can't say it.
45:33
Speaker 1: You just said you can't say. You gotta say it.
45:36
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that. You know, they're not far away
45:39
Speaker 1: from surpassing last year's total and I'm I expect them
45:44
Speaker 1: to be able to surpass it fairly soon. I'm not
45:47
Speaker 1: gonna say anything. To give me a break. You don't
45:51
Speaker 1: think you get three more turnovers in the next fifteen games? No, no, no,
45:55
Speaker 1: I'm not talking. I'm just I was gonna say that.
45:57
Speaker 1: You know, I looked there on pace to break that
45:59
Speaker 1: or to tie that little this week. Yeah, so what three?
46:04
Speaker 1: I's wrong with expecting, not trying to jinx anything. Are
46:10
Speaker 1: you gonna get over that? No, no, no, it's really ridiculous.
46:13
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hit or no hit, or no hit,
46:15
Speaker 1: or no hit or no hitter. I'm that guy. Yes,
46:18
Speaker 1: always have been that guy now, but it is, it's
46:21
Speaker 1: impressive and uh, and I can tell you we, we uh,
46:26
Speaker 1: the moment that you get a zero, a shutout, it's awesome.
46:32
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but it beats given up points. Well,
46:36
Speaker 1: I mean points is one thing and takeaways is another,
46:38
Speaker 1: but man, getting to zero, it's not easy to do.
46:42
Speaker 1: And and that was the second game as a coordinator
46:45
Speaker 1: in the NFL for Mike Caldwell too. Pretty Awes Up,
46:48
Speaker 1: pretty awesome, and the whole staff, everybody. Could you just
46:51
Speaker 1: tell that when that game the first of all, when
46:54
Speaker 1: the game kind of gets under control and victory is
46:59
Speaker 1: not in the balance anymore, but then you watch the
47:04
Speaker 1: players and you watch the team, you could tell that
47:08
Speaker 1: at that point it was about the zero. And Andre
47:12
Speaker 1: Zisco said that on Monday after the game. Of course zero,
47:18
Speaker 1: no doubt. Sti't come around too often. Uh, it's not
47:22
Speaker 1: very often to get it. So when you got an opportunity,
47:24
Speaker 1: you gotta go for it. Alright, tonight on television locks
47:28
Speaker 1: it's Jaguars all access live from strings brewery in Springfield.
47:32
Speaker 1: And with the Red Sox Yankees game on Fox thirty tonight,
47:35
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is sitting at Sixty home runs for the Yankees.
47:38
Speaker 1: The Fox coverage will take over that game on Fox.
47:42
Speaker 1: So the change to tonight's show, Jaguars all access on
47:46
Speaker 1: CBS forty seven tonight. Um and Josh Allen, of course,
47:50
Speaker 1: is the permanent guest host. Who's the special guest, by
47:52
Speaker 1: the way? WHO had a multi sack game against two
47:57
Speaker 1: of them, one Indianapolis Colts team. That was nice. Is
48:00
Speaker 1: the special guest tonight? Ray Shawn Jenkins. He also had
48:03
Speaker 1: a nice game, who got his first interception as a Jaguar.
48:06
Speaker 1: How about? He had four passes defense in the game
48:10
Speaker 1: last week. All of last season combined, he had three. Yeah,
48:14
Speaker 1: that's remarkable. A lot of things are happening in a
48:16
Speaker 1: very short period of time compared to last year's debacle. Yes,
48:21
Speaker 1: so I'm sure he'll have plenty to say. Two good
48:24
Speaker 1: defensive players on the show at strings tonight and seven
48:28
Speaker 1: o'clock right. The one thing, yeah, it's at seven o'clock.
48:30
Speaker 1: The one thing I've always liked about Ray Shawn and
48:32
Speaker 1: watching Ray Sean is he's got a high level of energy.
48:36
Speaker 1: Shack and Ray Sewan when when they go to practice
48:40
Speaker 1: or are are in practice, they elevate the mood of
48:45
Speaker 1: the defense and and it's good to see those two
48:49
Speaker 1: guys playing pretty well and a lot of people uh,
48:53
Speaker 1: kind of question how Shaq Griffin's playing. I think Shaq
48:56
Speaker 1: Griffin's playing playing really solid and I think he can
48:59
Speaker 1: still take it to another level. But I think they've
49:01
Speaker 1: been much better this year and very solid so far,
49:05
Speaker 1: with more to come. And another note on Jenkins, former charger,
49:09
Speaker 1: so he'll have some institutional knowledge out there. He knows
49:12
Speaker 1: in Herbert's rookie season was his last season. He knows
49:15
Speaker 1: all about the freak derwin James. Oh, yes, absolutely does. So, yeah,
49:21
Speaker 1: but it's uh, I'm excited for this matchup. I think
49:23
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great matchup. I think it's gonna
49:25
Speaker 1: be a great game and a lock of win. Okay,
49:29
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lock a win when the Jaguars have lost
49:32
Speaker 1: eighteen consecutive road games. I mean, you gotta. I mean
49:35
Speaker 1: anything that's possible will happen. I don't. I'm not gonna
49:40
Speaker 1: lock it because I just don't. I'm not busy. I
49:42
Speaker 1: don't lock things different show. It's a different Monday. They
49:48
Speaker 1: locked it last week. This is an opportunity for Trevor
49:50
Speaker 1: Lawrence to get his first road victory in the NFL
49:53
Speaker 1: and to to kind of put some of that wet
49:56
Speaker 1: west coast, talk about how you know this team can't
50:00
Speaker 1: albut the West Coast and play football game and play
50:03
Speaker 1: it well, and to to continue to build the momentum
50:06
Speaker 1: that you that you gained and earned in the colts game.
50:10
Speaker 1: Coming up the Doug Peterson show. We'll here from the
50:12
Speaker 1: head coaching studio and just a few moments. Thank you
50:15
Speaker 1: for listing. It has been Jaguars happy hour on the
50:19
Speaker 1: Jaguars digital network.
