- 1:05Speaker 1: A A bank Field. Jeff log Human with us now
- 1:09Speaker 1: on this Thursday, as he is every week from the
- 1:12Speaker 1: home studio, and here we are into December. Logs five
- 1:18Speaker 1: weeks last ah yeah and we're kind of counting them
- 1:22Speaker 1: down right. I mean, it's ten consecutive losses for this
- 1:25Speaker 1: football team. And uh, you know you're talking about now
- 1:28Speaker 1: draft positioning with the general manager being fired. I mean
- 1:32Speaker 1: there's not a I mean it's it's kind of a
- 1:35Speaker 1: somber type gloom I guess you could say around this
- 1:38Speaker 1: franchise right now, because it's not even in the conversation,
- 1:41Speaker 1: you know. We mean, you were talking just a minute
- 1:43Speaker 1: ago about how nice it is to get the December
- 1:46Speaker 1: and talk about ways in which your team can get
- 1:49Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And we're not having that conversation. And
- 1:52Speaker 1: that's that's disappointing with his football team because and I
- 1:56Speaker 1: don't want to say we had high expectations. I mean
- 1:58Speaker 1: the expectations weren't a high to begin with because it's
- 2:01Speaker 1: a young football team that uh, the youngest roster in
- 2:05Speaker 1: the National Football League. But but the one thing you
- 2:07Speaker 1: want to see is at least improvement. And uh, and
- 2:11Speaker 1: I don't know if if we can say that we're
- 2:13Speaker 1: saying we're seeing improvement. I think from early on when
- 2:15Speaker 1: this team is getting vote raced by quite a few
- 2:17Speaker 1: points and are more competitive. The last couple of weeks,
- 2:20Speaker 1: but it's it's not the most positive thing JP. And
- 2:23Speaker 1: that's the reality. You know, I get I get those
- 2:27Speaker 1: to your point, I get those emails. Now, this is
- 2:29Speaker 1: the time of year where the league sends out playoff
- 2:32Speaker 1: possibilities each week. If if this happens, then Team A
- 2:36Speaker 1: gets in the playoffs or gets this spot in the playoffs.
- 2:39Speaker 1: And it's like, man, I can't delete those emails fast
- 2:42Speaker 1: enough right now, I'll be honest with them. Just tired
- 2:44Speaker 1: of seeing it. I know, I know, I mean, it's
- 2:47Speaker 1: it's not easy, right, but it is what it is.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And you know, and I think that the fan base
- 2:53Speaker 1: wanted to see some type of institutional chain. And when
- 2:57Speaker 1: I say chain, I mean there's got to be some
- 2:59Speaker 1: type of cha angel leadership at the top. And after
- 3:03Speaker 1: this past game what dy've called well getting fired, I
- 3:05Speaker 1: think that's obviously a step that will give the fan
- 3:08Speaker 1: base hope that this thing can get better with the Jaguars,
- 3:12Speaker 1: because when when you have essentially what was seven double
- 3:16Speaker 1: digit law season under a general manager out of eight
- 3:20Speaker 1: seasons in which he presided over, that's not very good.
- 3:24Speaker 1: And uh, I think most people that are on the
- 3:27Speaker 1: outside look at it, and I think they're very surprised
- 3:31Speaker 1: that he was able to hold onto that job. So
- 3:33Speaker 1: law Peter King wrote about in his Money Morning Quarterback
- 3:36Speaker 1: and he said, just an amazing job that Dave called
- 3:39Speaker 1: was able to hold onto his job. And and look,
- 3:41Speaker 1: I I don't like beating up Dy've called well because
- 3:44Speaker 1: he got fired. But the reality is this is a
- 3:46Speaker 1: production based business and when you roll out seven double
- 3:50Speaker 1: digit law seasons that that production is not there. And uh.
- 3:54Speaker 1: And when you when you go into the National Football
- 3:56Speaker 1: League and you want to be a part of the
- 3:59Speaker 1: National Football legue, whether it be as a coach or
- 4:01Speaker 1: a personnel guy, you better have fixedin and you also
- 4:04Speaker 1: have the understanding that you could lose your job and
- 4:06Speaker 1: that job security is not one of the greatest attractive
- 4:09Speaker 1: parts of working in the National Football League. And that's
- 4:12Speaker 1: just the reality of it. Track record on the draft
- 4:17Speaker 1: side as well, not very strong. At the top of
- 4:20Speaker 1: the draft, of course, the first round draft pick history
- 4:23Speaker 1: here has not been great, certainly under Dave Caldwell's running
- 4:27Speaker 1: from to present. In that time, only four first round
- 4:33Speaker 1: draft picks remain on the roster. The the guy has
- 4:35Speaker 1: picked the last three years. Brian Allan Henderson Chason. The
- 4:38Speaker 1: others are gone for different reasons. Jokels out of the
- 4:41Speaker 1: league like Bordles got paid and then he's onto Denver
- 4:46Speaker 1: on the league for a while, that's right, and then um,
- 4:50Speaker 1: so you can go through that those lists of guys.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Dante Fowler is not around here anymore. Jalen Ramsey got
- 4:56Speaker 1: traded last year, and then Leonard Foda had was cut
- 4:59Speaker 1: at the start of this season. So he had some
- 5:02Speaker 1: hits a little later in the draft. But you gotta
- 5:04Speaker 1: hit on those big guys, the cornerstones of your franchise,
- 5:07Speaker 1: and that just didn't It didn't work at the top
- 5:10Speaker 1: of the draft for Dave Caldwell here. No, and uh,
- 5:15Speaker 1: look it, when you draft, it's not always just one
- 5:18Speaker 1: guy making the pick. I mean, you have it's it's
- 5:21Speaker 1: a group effort. You have you know, your college director
- 5:24Speaker 1: of pro purse or college director of personnel. Then you
- 5:28Speaker 1: have different scouts at different levels, and so it is
- 5:32Speaker 1: a little bit of a mix of people that come
- 5:36Speaker 1: together to make that decision. But a couple of surprising things.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I mean, first and foremost, typically on a first round pick,
- 5:42Speaker 1: look that's the general manager's pick. And then once you
- 5:45Speaker 1: get later in the draft, then he has a tendency
- 5:47Speaker 1: to rely more on his scouts, and that's that's typical
- 5:51Speaker 1: because a first round pick, I mean, that's your signature pick.
- 5:54Speaker 1: General manager is not gonna let anybody else make that
- 5:56Speaker 1: decision but him. And with the Jaguars, when you have
- 6:01Speaker 1: a first round pick, that's your highest percentage of being
- 6:03Speaker 1: able to hit. And for the Jaguars that hasn't been
- 6:06Speaker 1: a very high percent And for most organizations, that's the
- 6:09Speaker 1: guy that you typically want to get into a second contract.
- 6:12Speaker 1: That hasn't happened for the Jaguars, and so it's disappointing
- 6:16Speaker 1: from from that aspect, and that those are the foundational players.
- 6:19Speaker 1: You know, the draft is the lifeblood of any franchise.
- 6:22Speaker 1: And if you're not picking well, and you're not picking
- 6:25Speaker 1: well at the top, which is the highest percentage of
- 6:29Speaker 1: success rate, then that's a problem. And uh, too many
- 6:33Speaker 1: times this recently, this football team hasn't hit. And it's
- 6:37Speaker 1: not just Dave Caldwell. I mean you go back to
- 6:39Speaker 1: the Shack Harris, I mean this, this football team has
- 6:42Speaker 1: not picked very well at the top of the draft,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and this team has not been able to find a
- 6:46Speaker 1: franchise quarterback in the draft, and that's you gotta find one.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's Look at the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 6:52Speaker 1: I mean, the Kansas City Chiefs are sitting pretty and
- 6:54Speaker 1: they obviously got a generational player and Patrick Mahomes, but
- 6:58Speaker 1: they knew the importance of the position into where when
- 7:01Speaker 1: they had Alex Smith, they still drafted Patrick my Home.
- 7:05Speaker 1: And Alex Smith was a really good player and one
- 7:07Speaker 1: of the highest rated quarterbacks in the National Football League,
- 7:09Speaker 1: and you still drafted Patrick Mahomes. Well, you go back
- 7:12Speaker 1: to that same year. The Jacksonville Jaguars were coming off
- 7:15Speaker 1: of a year in which they had Blake Bortles and
- 7:18Speaker 1: they were winning to spite him, and so it was
- 7:20Speaker 1: a perfect opportunity to do what the Kansas City Chiefs did.
- 7:25Speaker 1: And you didn't even have to trade any picks. All
- 7:26Speaker 1: you would have to done to just just take them,
- 7:29Speaker 1: and and you didn't do it, And obviously that's a
- 7:32Speaker 1: that's a big mistake. And I'm not even sure if
- 7:35Speaker 1: the Jaguars did any work on quarterbacks that year, because
- 7:37Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell was still a big believer in Blake Bortles
- 7:41Speaker 1: for some reason, coming off of the year that he
- 7:43Speaker 1: had previously which was terrible. Um, and I like Blake.
- 7:47Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's a good guy and and
- 7:49Speaker 1: he's a tough guy, and he's a he's a football player.
- 7:53Speaker 1: But you're not trying to find football players to play quarterback.
- 7:56Speaker 1: You're trying to play trying to find quarterbacks to play quarterback.
- 8:02Speaker 1: You know you can obviously you have to remember that
- 8:04Speaker 1: a couple of year window, Tom Coughlin was at the
- 8:06Speaker 1: top of the football world here as well, So that
- 8:08Speaker 1: goes into that decision process for that. And see, I'm
- 8:14Speaker 1: I'm I'm not I'm not going there. I mean, you know,
- 8:15Speaker 1: I mean, and I think that that's kind of been
- 8:17Speaker 1: a little bit of a of a crutch I mean
- 8:20Speaker 1: for because you know Tom Coughlin, it's the truth, it's
- 8:23Speaker 1: the facts. Well it's the fact that he was he
- 8:27Speaker 1: was making he had the ultimate say so. But but
- 8:29Speaker 1: did Tom Coughlin go over to personnel and say, okay,
- 8:32Speaker 1: I'm running the personnel department. Yeah. Tom Coughlin got more
- 8:35Speaker 1: involved in coaching than he did in personnel. So I
- 8:38Speaker 1: don't think Tom Coughlin was was in there putting his
- 8:41Speaker 1: hands in personnel saying we're picking that guy, and we're
- 8:43Speaker 1: picking that guy and we're picking that guy. I don't
- 8:44Speaker 1: care what you think. I don't think that was happening,
- 8:47Speaker 1: you know, so, Uh, the reality is is that, uh,
- 8:52Speaker 1: you know, with Tom Coughlin being involved for a couple
- 8:54Speaker 1: of years. I don't know if that ended up buying
- 8:58Speaker 1: Dave Colbill from Extra timer or why. But uh, the
- 9:01Speaker 1: reality is that he was able to stick around longer
- 9:03Speaker 1: because of Tom Coffin, because they wanted in seventeen and
- 9:06Speaker 1: one of the high level But I mean it was
- 9:08Speaker 1: Tom Coffin making all the calls and draft picks. I mean, look,
- 9:12Speaker 1: Tom Coffin is ultimately responsible and that he should have
- 9:14Speaker 1: been able to say that year, hey look what about
- 9:17Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or what about DeShawn Watson. I mean, those
- 9:20Speaker 1: would have been too great statements to make and obviously
- 9:22Speaker 1: something that he should explored further. But at the same token,
- 9:26Speaker 1: I think that Tom, once he took the job, his
- 9:28Speaker 1: main focal point. At the beginning of this transition, when
- 9:31Speaker 1: he was as an e v P, it was more
- 9:34Speaker 1: of a Okay, I know what I do best, and
- 9:36Speaker 1: that's coaching. I'm gonna help Doug assemble coaching staff and
- 9:38Speaker 1: then we'll worry about the personnel stuff later on, and uh,
- 9:42Speaker 1: and that obviously hurt. Tom should have addressed the personnel
- 9:46Speaker 1: side of things right then and there, and certainly should
- 9:48Speaker 1: have addressed it from the standpoint of, Look, we don't
- 9:50Speaker 1: have a quarterback, we don't have a franchise guy, and
- 9:53Speaker 1: we're gonna get one, so let's look at the ones
- 9:55Speaker 1: that we can possibly take in the Springs draft. All
- 9:59Speaker 1: right now, moving had here, five more games to go,
- 10:01Speaker 1: a month to play for the Jaguars here in Trent
- 10:04Speaker 1: Balky is the interim general manager. He'll get them through
- 10:07Speaker 1: this season in terms of transactions and day to day
- 10:11Speaker 1: football operations type of things. Transactions all that. As we said,
- 10:16Speaker 1: Doug Marone and the coaching staff are safe through Shod
- 10:19Speaker 1: kind of addressed that after the game Sunday as well.
- 10:23Speaker 1: So for Doug Marone and the coaching staff, we're gonna
- 10:26Speaker 1: have Doug on at five o'clock on the Duck Moron Show. Um,
- 10:30Speaker 1: this is what they have. Five games and then who
- 10:33Speaker 1: really knows at that point, but you get an idea
- 10:36Speaker 1: that there could be some some more changes down the
- 10:39Speaker 1: line at some point. So it's gotta be tough for
- 10:41Speaker 1: Doug and those guys. Five games to go there. Already
- 10:44Speaker 1: I've lost ten in a row, Bogs, and now you've
- 10:46Speaker 1: gotta go out and get these guys going for one
- 10:49Speaker 1: more month of football. Knowing that changes likely on the
- 10:52Speaker 1: way of some kind. Well, I mean, like like I
- 10:56Speaker 1: said before, when when you sign up to be a
- 10:58Speaker 1: coach or a personnel guy in the National Football League,
- 11:02Speaker 1: h change is inevitable. And so I know the dog
- 11:06Speaker 1: and the coaching staff they realize that. But it doesn't
- 11:08Speaker 1: mean it's it's good, I mean, or we're great. I
- 11:11Speaker 1: mean it's it's tough. I mean, it's tough on families,
- 11:14Speaker 1: it's tough on organization. And you know, the one thing
- 11:18Speaker 1: I definitely feel for anybody that works in the National
- 11:20Speaker 1: Football League when a team is not winning is sometimes
- 11:24Speaker 1: the family can hear a lot of that noise, whether
- 11:27Speaker 1: it be coaches kids, or personnel guys kids, or look
- 11:31Speaker 1: even employees of the organization kids. You know, sometimes like
- 11:35Speaker 1: oh the Jaguars suck, you know, and they're giving a
- 11:38Speaker 1: kid a hard time because Okay, somebody's dad or mom
- 11:40Speaker 1: works for the Jaguars, And I mean that's that's kind
- 11:43Speaker 1: of the way it is sometimes. But I think coaches
- 11:46Speaker 1: coaches know that when when they sign up to be
- 11:48Speaker 1: coaches that there can be change and they have to
- 11:51Speaker 1: be willing to move. But but it's still it's not
- 11:54Speaker 1: a great situation. And yeah, JP there probably will be
- 11:57Speaker 1: some more change and we don't know exactly what that
- 11:59Speaker 1: entails until the new general manager is hired and he
- 12:02Speaker 1: looks at the organization and evaluates everything, and so but
- 12:06Speaker 1: it definitely will look different, I think when we roll
- 12:10Speaker 1: around thee and this is it's been a tough year.
- 12:12Speaker 1: I mean tough year for for everybody you know from COVID.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Two coaches and working remotely and you're trying to put
- 12:20Speaker 1: together and build a franchise and build an organization and
- 12:24Speaker 1: build the concept of team, and a really challenging one
- 12:27Speaker 1: for Doug Moroning his coaching staff because of all those
- 12:31Speaker 1: things that are different about you know, the COVID things
- 12:35Speaker 1: that I mentioned and remote learning not having the ability
- 12:39Speaker 1: and so when you do all this and everything is
- 12:42Speaker 1: so different. When you have the youngest roster in the
- 12:43Speaker 1: National Football League and you trade away a lot of value,
- 12:47Speaker 1: valuable veteran veterans, that makes it even harder and so
- 12:51Speaker 1: it's hard to succeed when you're in that position in
- 12:55Speaker 1: my opinion, Yeah, no doubt. And you know, just you
- 12:59Speaker 1: gotta get of the coaching staff and those guys and
- 13:01Speaker 1: the players credit. Yeah, I know they haven't won. That's
- 13:04Speaker 1: the result the end game. But um, you know, it
- 13:08Speaker 1: has been a little better the last few weeks, just
- 13:11Speaker 1: not getting that result at the end of the day,
- 13:13Speaker 1: which is we're not into moral victories here, but we've
- 13:16Speaker 1: seen other times where a team can can kind of
- 13:19Speaker 1: give it up towards the end of the year, at
- 13:21Speaker 1: least so far, that has not happened for this team
- 13:24Speaker 1: We've got. You know, it's been it's it can happen,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and it has happened around the league before. Let's come
- 13:29Speaker 1: back in a moment, Logs, let's get into the game
- 13:31Speaker 1: this Sunday, the Jags and the Vikings. Mike Glennon will
- 13:34Speaker 1: get another start. We'll see what the Jaguars defensive matchup
- 13:38Speaker 1: is this week. It's not ideal for the Jags, but
- 13:41Speaker 1: we'll break it all down and then at four thirty
- 13:44Speaker 1: Tony Boselli joins us as well five o'clock for the
- 13:47Speaker 1: Doug Moron Show. We are off and running on a Thursday.

- 17:41Speaker 1: college at NC State. You know, I think he didn't
- 17:44Speaker 1: have a great offensive line, but he's always had a
- 17:45Speaker 1: great feel for sitting in the pocket, wait till the
- 17:47Speaker 1: last second, deliver the ball, and he will take some
- 17:50Speaker 1: hits because of that and possibly throw some meryraor balls
- 17:52Speaker 1: because of that. But he's got a great feel for
- 17:55Speaker 1: the pocket, good understanding the game concepts, defenses, protections. I
- 17:58Speaker 1: think the receivers in a body liked his uh urgency
- 18:01Speaker 1: in the huddle, communication, all that stuff plays a major
- 18:04Speaker 1: role of pre snap. I think Mike is probably our
- 18:07Speaker 1: best option right now. Uh post snap, I think all
- 18:09Speaker 1: three I'm doing some great things, and obviously Mike showed
- 18:12Speaker 1: some flash of being uh really productive force and the
- 18:15Speaker 1: best option. This week, Jake Gruden, offensive coordinator, discussing the
- 18:21Speaker 1: decision to start Mike Glennan this week by head coach
- 18:25Speaker 1: Doug Marone against the Vikings and welcome back Jaguars Happy
- 18:29Speaker 1: Hour j P Shadrick, Jeff Flagman coming up in just
- 18:32Speaker 1: a few minutes, twelve minutes or so. Tony Boselli scheduled
- 18:34Speaker 1: at four thirty today, So Mike Glennan gets to start again,
- 18:39Speaker 1: and you heard him their logs, A lot of the
- 18:41Speaker 1: pre snap stuff just felt a little I guess cleaner
- 18:46Speaker 1: smoother with Glennon in there. He's been in the league
- 18:48Speaker 1: for a long time. That's a big reason why. And
- 18:51Speaker 1: what do you think of Glennon last week and what
- 18:54Speaker 1: can we expect now and around number two for the vet, Well,
- 18:59Speaker 1: I think you would expect things to be cleaner going
- 19:02Speaker 1: from a Jake Lewton to Mike Lennon. After all, Mike
- 19:06Speaker 1: Lenn's got a lot more experience and not necessarily a
- 19:09Speaker 1: ton of more game experience, because now he's six and
- 19:12Speaker 1: I think seventeen as a starter, so it's not like
- 19:15Speaker 1: he's got ten years of starting under his belt, but
- 19:19Speaker 1: certainly a lot more than Jake Lewton. But he's got Look,
- 19:22Speaker 1: he's been around, he's been in this system before, and
- 19:26Speaker 1: when I say this system. Last year he was with
- 19:28Speaker 1: the Raiders and so he was with Jay's brother John,
- 19:32Speaker 1: and the systems are very similar, and so I think
- 19:35Speaker 1: that helps. But the reality is is that Mike Lennon
- 19:39Speaker 1: is what he is JP and that's a journeyman quarterback.
- 19:43Speaker 1: And uh, it's nice to have him kind of be
- 19:46Speaker 1: a steady enforce for an offense. But at the same token,
- 19:50Speaker 1: there's no excitement associated with Mike Glennon being the Jaguars
- 19:54Speaker 1: quarterback because you realize that he is a journeyman quarterback
- 19:59Speaker 1: and the excitement will come, hopefully one day when this
- 20:03Speaker 1: team finds a franchise quarterback that can lead them onto
- 20:06Speaker 1: big things in the National Football League. And so I
- 20:11Speaker 1: hope that Mike Glennon plays well and I hope he
- 20:13Speaker 1: continues to get a little bit better because the inactivity
- 20:16Speaker 1: that he's had for a significant amount of time doesn't
- 20:19Speaker 1: help any quarterback. But I like the way that he
- 20:21Speaker 1: protected the football, but he missed some throws in the
- 20:24Speaker 1: game that could have been the difference in winning and losing,
- 20:28Speaker 1: and hopefully he can make those throws this week against
- 20:32Speaker 1: a Minnesota Vikings team that is going to be able
- 20:34Speaker 1: to put up a lot of points on the board.
- 20:36Speaker 1: There's make no mistake about the Vikings are going to
- 20:38Speaker 1: score some point. All right, we'll get to that matchup
- 20:42Speaker 1: against the Jaguars defense. Here a little bit. Let's hear
- 20:44Speaker 1: from Mike Glennan his review of last week's game, how
- 20:48Speaker 1: he found out he was going to start for a
- 20:50Speaker 1: second straight week. As far as the conversation, the roally
- 20:55Speaker 1: wasn't much. Just told me we're going to you again
- 20:58Speaker 1: this week. I was left at that um. As far
- 21:02Speaker 1: as a week to week, I mean, I understand it.
- 21:04Speaker 1: It's a performance based industry and you know, all those
- 21:09Speaker 1: stuff have shown flashes and it's about consistency and now
- 21:13Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah. Doug Marone earlier this week Logs
- 21:17Speaker 1: said that those asked, hey, is is this Glennon's gig
- 21:19Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. He's like, WHOA, Well,
- 21:21Speaker 1: we know every position is day to day, week to
- 21:25Speaker 1: week in the NFL, including the quarterback position. Down the
- 21:28Speaker 1: stretch here he could have a couple of weapons back
- 21:30Speaker 1: on the field. Outside Connolly and Chart, the receivers have
- 21:34Speaker 1: both been limited this week on the practice field. They
- 21:37Speaker 1: both missed last week's game. Colin Johnson stepped up and
- 21:40Speaker 1: had a big game for him on the nice long
- 21:43Speaker 1: touchdown run and took advantage of his opportunity to step
- 21:46Speaker 1: in there last week. And of course, logs, when when
- 21:49Speaker 1: you have a guy like James Robinson playing as well
- 21:51Speaker 1: as he is and as reliable as he is, that
- 21:55Speaker 1: helps everybody on offense, when you can get that running
- 21:58Speaker 1: game going, and then obviously bring some guys you know,
- 22:02Speaker 1: moving guys around on the defense, and when you have
- 22:05Speaker 1: James Robinson doing his thing, that helps everybody else out
- 22:08Speaker 1: too well. There's no doubt. And James Robinson's coming off
- 22:12Speaker 1: his career best game as far as total yardage output
- 22:15Speaker 1: in uh in a ballgame, and and he's a He's
- 22:18Speaker 1: a great player. I mean, make no mistake about it.
- 22:20Speaker 1: The only thing that James Robinson doesn't have is the
- 22:24Speaker 1: breakaway speed to where he can just run away from
- 22:27Speaker 1: a pack. But he's got everything else. He's got the
- 22:29Speaker 1: decision making, the vision, the efficiency and the power, the
- 22:34Speaker 1: commitment to smarts. He's got everything that you want. And
- 22:38Speaker 1: on the Colin Johnson touchdown, I don't know if you
- 22:40Speaker 1: happen to watch Jags Wired last night, j P, but
- 22:43Speaker 1: tellustrated this play on the board and then gonna be
- 22:45Speaker 1: doing it again. We're gonna show it again tonight on
- 22:48Speaker 1: Jaguars All Access and on the Colin Johnson touchdown catch.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I called it the j Robin because the Cleveland Browns
- 22:55Speaker 1: were up in the box with the safety which makes eight,
- 22:59Speaker 1: and so you're leaving the corners a little bit out
- 23:02Speaker 1: on the island with a deep middle safety, and whether
- 23:05Speaker 1: you play a three D zone in that situation or
- 23:08Speaker 1: you decide to match up in man, it's still leaving
- 23:11Speaker 1: the corners essentially out on an island. And so they
- 23:15Speaker 1: ran a clearing route by Killian Keelan Cole on the
- 23:18Speaker 1: left and then Colin Johnson was running a crossing route
- 23:21Speaker 1: all the way across the field and Browns were a
- 23:24Speaker 1: man but there was no safety to help that corner
- 23:27Speaker 1: cover Colin Johnson, because that's safety was worrying about. James
- 23:31Speaker 1: Robinson and j Gruden talked about this play I think yesterday,
- 23:34Speaker 1: which I kind of made me happy because that's the
- 23:37Speaker 1: play that I picked the draw and like, cool, the
- 23:39Speaker 1: coordinator picked one that I really like, and uh, and
- 23:43Speaker 1: it's just cool to see how defenses react to James
- 23:47Speaker 1: Robinson and they respect him, they respect the running game,
- 23:50Speaker 1: they brought the eighth guy in the box with the
- 23:53Speaker 1: play action fate. All of those eight guys were moving
- 23:56Speaker 1: forward so that none of them were able to recover
- 23:59Speaker 1: to be a factor on the Colin Johnson catch, and
- 24:02Speaker 1: it was a touchdown. So one of the reasons why
- 24:05Speaker 1: that James Robinson is a really good football player, and
- 24:07Speaker 1: I just hate to think of where this organization, this
- 24:10Speaker 1: franchise would be without him this year because he's been steady,
- 24:14Speaker 1: he's been good, and on a football team that has
- 24:18Speaker 1: really had little else that's been steady and good as
- 24:21Speaker 1: far as the wide receivers go. It's nice to have
- 24:25Speaker 1: DJ Chark back, it's nice to have Chris Connelly back.
- 24:29Speaker 1: But at the same token, I also think that Keelan
- 24:31Speaker 1: Cole is a good football player, especially a good football
- 24:34Speaker 1: player when he's playing the ex position, which is probably
- 24:36Speaker 1: a little bit more natural position. And then Chris Conney
- 24:40Speaker 1: is a good football player too. But I also like
- 24:42Speaker 1: Colin Johnson. So I don't want to say there's um
- 24:45Speaker 1: no drop off when these guys played last week, because
- 24:48Speaker 1: DJ Charks a Pro Bowl caliber type players, So there
- 24:50Speaker 1: is some drop off, but not as much I think
- 24:53Speaker 1: as with some teams at that position. That's the one
- 24:56Speaker 1: position the Jaguars have done a pretty good job personnel
- 24:59Speaker 1: wise with is the wide receiver group. One more note
- 25:04Speaker 1: here on Robinson since we're kind of on the topic here.
- 25:07Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned all that bringing extra guys in
- 25:10Speaker 1: the box. Now he's facing that a lot of times,
- 25:13Speaker 1: and he's still producing with with all that stuff, and
- 25:16Speaker 1: he's still and we had the stat last week he's
- 25:18Speaker 1: only had eleven negative runs all year. That's still true.
- 25:21Speaker 1: He didn't have any last week. He just keeps building
- 25:23Speaker 1: onto it somehow finds a way to always get forward
- 25:26Speaker 1: even though now, especially this time of year, teams know
- 25:30Speaker 1: what what he has to offer. That that says something
- 25:33Speaker 1: about the way he's played this season, which is remarkable
- 25:36Speaker 1: to see. Well, no doubt, because if you're an opponent,
- 25:39Speaker 1: you're you're the defensive coordinator, what are you worrying about?
- 25:41Speaker 1: You're worrying about Gardner Minshew or Mike Lennar or Jake Lewton.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Hell no, you know you're you're worrying about James Robinson
- 25:48Speaker 1: and uh and they just keeping you're saying, you're one
- 25:51Speaker 1: safety back to prevent a big play, you know, so
- 25:54Speaker 1: give James Robson a lot of credit and one of
- 25:57Speaker 1: the plays that I also tellustrated last night for Jaguar JP.
- 26:03Speaker 1: You remember when the Jaguars were on the potential game
- 26:05Speaker 1: tying drive and they came out and they were throwing
- 26:07Speaker 1: the ball around a little bit and have some success.
- 26:09Speaker 1: And I made a comment during the broadcast and say, hey,
- 26:12Speaker 1: don't forget about James Robinson. Well, the very next play
- 26:15Speaker 1: they hand the ball off to James Robinson. It was
- 26:17Speaker 1: kind of like a draw look because Glennon was in
- 26:20Speaker 1: the shotgun and he reaches over to his right and
- 26:22Speaker 1: hands the ball to James Robinson. And it was such
- 26:25Speaker 1: a thing of beauty of what James Robinson did on
- 26:28Speaker 1: that play. Because the Browns had what essentially was a
- 26:32Speaker 1: six man box and the Jaguars had their five offensive lineman,
- 26:36Speaker 1: so you gotta find somebody to block that six guy
- 26:40Speaker 1: in the box with Tyler Effort was split out and
- 26:43Speaker 1: he was a little bit detached from the offensive line group,
- 26:46Speaker 1: so he has to come all the way into the
- 26:49Speaker 1: formation and block a linebacker, and it's a very hard
- 26:52Speaker 1: block and it requires a little bit of time. So
- 26:55Speaker 1: when James is hitting this on the draw, he actually
- 26:59Speaker 1: kind of veers back to the side where Tyler Eiffort
- 27:02Speaker 1: is at to allow the linebacker to freeze just enough
- 27:06Speaker 1: to allow Eiffort to get in position. And then also
- 27:09Speaker 1: that allows Brandon Lender the center to get a little
- 27:11Speaker 1: bit better position on the tackle. And then he breaks
- 27:13Speaker 1: it off to the left side where you have the
- 27:15Speaker 1: guard in the center or the guard and the left
- 27:17Speaker 1: tackle kind of crossing blocking an end in linebacker combination.
- 27:21Speaker 1: It was a thing of beauty. I mean an absolute
- 27:23Speaker 1: thing of beauty. Where James set this up. And you know,
- 27:27Speaker 1: I've watched Jaguars running backs for a long time, ever
- 27:31Speaker 1: since this team came in existence. From Fred Taylor to
- 27:34Speaker 1: Maurice Jones drew and Fred was an unbelievable talent of
- 27:38Speaker 1: Hall of Fame caliber back and Maury Jones Drew a
- 27:41Speaker 1: special back. And and I don't want to say that
- 27:44Speaker 1: they never did anything like that, but they didn't quite
- 27:48Speaker 1: have that knack for setting up things because they just
- 27:52Speaker 1: had great speed. They just go, you know, and they
- 27:54Speaker 1: beat people from the steve and power. Yeah, And and
- 27:58Speaker 1: James can't do that. He's not a guy that's just
- 28:00Speaker 1: gonna outrun anybody. But he's gonna out efficient people and
- 28:04Speaker 1: he's gonna outsmart people, and that that play JP was
- 28:07Speaker 1: an absolute thing of beauty. And if you haven't seen it,
- 28:10Speaker 1: hopefully the Jaguars put it up on Twitter because it's
- 28:13Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to, you know, pump myself up here.
- 28:16Speaker 1: This is about James Robinson and the play that in
- 28:19Speaker 1: the job that he did on this particular play. Everybody
- 28:22Speaker 1: watch the Jeff Logavan segment on Twitter coming up a
- 28:25Speaker 1: little bit later. I'm kidding, of course, Uh course not.
- 28:31Speaker 1: It will be soon. We're back in a moment. Either.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Not my department, you know, so I think it's Joe

- 28:47Speaker 1: Tony Masselli's department. We'll see what he asked to say.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Definitely not join us in a moment. No, probably not.

- 32:45Speaker 1: especially when we're having a season, you know that we're
- 32:48Speaker 1: having right now, and we're trying to get a self
- 32:49Speaker 1: focused on Minnesota, you know for a wind. So you know,
- 32:54Speaker 1: I think i'd be it'd be it'd be naive of
- 32:57Speaker 1: me to say, you know, um that every every position
- 33:03Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, has to play well, you know,
- 33:05Speaker 1: from week to week, and if we feel like someone
- 33:08Speaker 1: else behind them can produce better or give us a
- 33:11Speaker 1: better chance to win, and I think, well, you know,
- 33:14Speaker 1: we'll go ahead and make that move. So I don't
- 33:16Speaker 1: want to put it just on the one position. It's
- 33:19Speaker 1: really all positions that we're looking at, you know, being
- 33:21Speaker 1: able to do that. Head coach Doug Morone earlier this week,
- 33:27Speaker 1: that was his answer to the question if Glennon had
- 33:32Speaker 1: had the job the rest of the year at quarterback,
- 33:34Speaker 1: and he put it on all positions. And that's where
- 33:36Speaker 1: the Jaguars all right now ten consecutive losses. Welcome back, Jaguars,
- 33:40Speaker 1: Happy our j P. Shadrick, Jeff Lockerman, Tony Vaselli joins
- 33:44Speaker 1: us now on the program. Tony, good afternoon. First of all,
- 33:49Speaker 1: good to see it. How we're hanging in there, Tony,
- 33:54Speaker 1: How are you doing? I'm doing outstanding? J P. Chili
- 33:59Speaker 1: for me it I'm doing good. It's like seventy degrees
- 34:04Speaker 1: outside this absolutely, there's no doubt about it. I'm stove
- 34:11Speaker 1: a long time. It's like it's like a warm day
- 34:13Speaker 1: out there today. It's you can see I got my
- 34:19Speaker 1: as what's it called on my hoodie? I see that, yes,
- 34:25Speaker 1: inside that you know, you can turn on the heat
- 34:27Speaker 1: and doors to Let's get to the big news of
- 34:30Speaker 1: the week though, we we we obviously have discussed this
- 34:33Speaker 1: on Monday with you, Tony, but a few days have
- 34:36Speaker 1: gone by now since the Dave Caldwell firing. Um, anything
- 34:42Speaker 1: new at least in your mindset about that. And you
- 34:46Speaker 1: know now you just know what's going to happen. That's
- 34:49Speaker 1: there's going to be change, and we're gonna have an
- 34:52Speaker 1: interesting first week of January. It feels like, well, I mean,
- 34:55Speaker 1: I think we all sense it was coming. I don't
- 35:00Speaker 1: I guess we didn't know the timing, but we knew
- 35:02Speaker 1: it was coming and that it was probably inevitable based
- 35:05Speaker 1: on the record and kind of how the season was going.
- 35:07Speaker 1: And um, and that's where we ended up, and that's
- 35:11Speaker 1: where we are now, and that's where it's going to be.
- 35:16Speaker 1: I don't know if there's ever I don't know if
- 35:18Speaker 1: there's ever the right time to do anything, but but
- 35:21Speaker 1: I do know this, when you have three other organizations
- 35:24Speaker 1: in the National Football League that already had had relieved
- 35:27Speaker 1: their general managers of duties. And if you want to
- 35:30Speaker 1: be I don't want to say in the race, but
- 35:32Speaker 1: if you want to be in the conversation with certain people,
- 35:35Speaker 1: because even though around the league it's it's it's expected
- 35:40Speaker 1: that you wait until the season to finish before you
- 35:43Speaker 1: start talking to people, the reality is that those conversations
- 35:46Speaker 1: happen all the time before seasons end. And so if
- 35:50Speaker 1: you want to be able to I don't want to
- 35:52Speaker 1: say be first in line, but be in the mix.
- 35:54Speaker 1: You know, you've got to go ahead and and start
- 35:56Speaker 1: having those conversations because I mean, you look at the
- 36:02Speaker 1: number of jobs that already opened yet Houston open, you
- 36:05Speaker 1: have Atlanta opened, and then Detroit Fire fired their GM
- 36:09Speaker 1: the week before, so it's and you have head coaches.
- 36:13Speaker 1: I think there's could be as many as seven or
- 36:14Speaker 1: eight jobs open this year. So, um, we're still waiting
- 36:17Speaker 1: to see if it happened Doug mor Own. But uh,
- 36:21Speaker 1: if you want to have your GM in place to
- 36:24Speaker 1: allow and to work with that individual to pick your
- 36:26Speaker 1: head coach, I imagine you want it done before that.
- 36:29Speaker 1: You know, pretty quickly once the season ends, because it's
- 36:31Speaker 1: gonna be a mad rush I think for head coaching. Now.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Part of that too is that you can't talk to
- 36:38Speaker 1: GM candidates who are still have a season going on, right,
- 36:42Speaker 1: I mean you have to wait until all that that's
- 36:45Speaker 1: what if that's something that you can talk to the
- 36:50Speaker 1: rules no JP that those conversations happened. I'm looking at
- 36:55Speaker 1: what would be wrong if somebody that was aligned with
- 37:00Speaker 1: ownership decided to call an agent and say, hey, look,
- 37:04Speaker 1: you know, we really like your guy and just want
- 37:07Speaker 1: to let you know that we understand that we can't
- 37:10Speaker 1: have a conversation with your guy. He's got a job
- 37:14Speaker 1: right now, but we just want to let you know that, hey,
- 37:17Speaker 1: we want to talk to him at the end of
- 37:19Speaker 1: the year. And here's kind of the parameters what we
- 37:21Speaker 1: were thinking about. The job description or you know, page
- 37:24Speaker 1: is probably gonna be somewhere around this, but you know, hey, look,
- 37:27Speaker 1: we don't want to talk to your client. We just
- 37:29Speaker 1: want to give you an idea of what the parameters are.
- 37:31Speaker 1: I mean, the reality is that that happened. And uh
- 37:35Speaker 1: and if if the league continues to I don't want
- 37:38Speaker 1: to say turn a blind eye to it, not admit
- 37:40Speaker 1: it because they it's not like they're addressing it. But
- 37:42Speaker 1: the reality is that those things happen, so do you
- 37:48Speaker 1: haven't the Let's get back to this game now. We've
- 37:50Speaker 1: got plenty of time obviously to talking about the the
- 37:53Speaker 1: GM role and everything moving ahead, and we'll have, as
- 37:56Speaker 1: we said, an interesting first week of January. This week,
- 38:00Speaker 1: it's an interesting week for the Jaguars defense against the
- 38:02Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings team that all of a sudden is getting warm,
- 38:07Speaker 1: especially in the offensive side. Kirk Cousins with a rating
- 38:10Speaker 1: or better the last five weeks or four and one
- 38:13Speaker 1: of that span. Feeland is off the COVID list this week.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Jefferson is in the running for Rookie of the Year
- 38:18Speaker 1: at receiver. They've got the running back Dalvin Cook second
- 38:22Speaker 1: in the league in attempts and yardage, and Tony They've
- 38:25Speaker 1: got it going really well. And the matchup against this
- 38:29Speaker 1: Jaguars defense, I must say, is not ideal. Let's put
- 38:32Speaker 1: it that way, Well, is there an ideal matchup right
- 38:35Speaker 1: now for the Jags defense based on all the injuries
- 38:37Speaker 1: they've had, Probably all that's going on. Probably, I mean,
- 38:40Speaker 1: maybe maybe the Jets would be a good one. I mean,
- 38:43Speaker 1: a team that hasn't won a football game this year.
- 38:45Speaker 1: So no, it's tough, and they've got good players and
- 38:48Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins coming off the UM uh NFC Player of
- 38:53Speaker 1: the Week UM last week after a really good game
- 38:56Speaker 1: over three yards, three touchdowns, UM played out standing football
- 39:00Speaker 1: all brought their team back late against the Carolina Panthers.
- 39:02Speaker 1: So you know, we know about Dalvin Cook. He is
- 39:04Speaker 1: a little beat up. UM. I think the one good
- 39:06Speaker 1: thing is it's not a real physical offensive line and
- 39:09Speaker 1: so maybe you can get after that a little bit.
- 39:10Speaker 1: But they got some good, really good skilled players, really
- 39:14Speaker 1: good skilled players, and including the tight end group, even
- 39:17Speaker 1: though IRV Smith is is dinged up and didn't practice
- 39:20Speaker 1: yesterday and today. The Rudolph's a good player and two
- 39:24Speaker 1: good receivers and pretty interesting. I know Tony is a
- 39:28Speaker 1: big subscriber to PFF, but he's like the highest rated
- 39:31Speaker 1: receiver according to PF. That there is a National Football League, which,
- 39:36Speaker 1: like I know that a lot of times you can
- 39:37Speaker 1: take some of that stuff and throw it out the window,
- 39:39Speaker 1: particularly when it comes to offensive linement. But for the
- 39:41Speaker 1: skill players, some of that stuff I think is definitely
- 39:45Speaker 1: applicable and can be used. But to have the highest
- 39:48Speaker 1: rating of a wide receiver by PFF. That's a pretty
- 39:50Speaker 1: pretty strong accomplishment. And if you look at him as
- 39:52Speaker 1: far as yardage, I think he's eight, but in receptions
- 39:55Speaker 1: he's twenty four. And so that I'll tell you that
- 39:57Speaker 1: every time he touches the ball, he's getting a lot
- 39:59Speaker 1: of r good player, I guess there's yeah, good player.
- 40:05Speaker 1: And how about the Jaguars secondary of this week? Curious
- 40:09Speaker 1: to see who's back. Sydney Jones sniffing around there he
- 40:12Speaker 1: could be back. Could Josh Jones be back in the
- 40:15Speaker 1: back end? They need all the help they can get.
- 40:18Speaker 1: Certainly this week likes, Yeah, they need Sidney Jones. I
- 40:22Speaker 1: would think more than anybody. And I know that Josh
- 40:26Speaker 1: Jones could be back, but he's more of think of
- 40:30Speaker 1: a box type of safety. If he were more of
- 40:32Speaker 1: a free type of safety, then I would say, yeah,
- 40:34Speaker 1: that's a great, great to get him back. But Sydney Jones,
- 40:37Speaker 1: no doubt. I mean, he's he's your your best corner.
- 40:39Speaker 1: He was your best corner even when when you had C. J.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Henderson that was out there on the field. He's been consistent.
- 40:45Speaker 1: I think he ended up starting about five games this
- 40:47Speaker 1: will be number six if he's able to play and
- 40:49Speaker 1: looks like he's practicing now, so that's a positive sign.
- 40:52Speaker 1: But the issue is is that they have two really
- 40:54Speaker 1: good receivers, so Ken Trey Herndon, if he's going to
- 40:57Speaker 1: be the starter on the opposite side, can he handle that?
- 41:00Speaker 1: And then what would you do at the nickels spot?
- 41:02Speaker 1: To Scott still play the nickel and he struggled a
- 41:05Speaker 1: little bit against Landry. He was not exactly a speedy
- 41:07Speaker 1: guy in the Cleveland Browns. Or would Barkoo be a
- 41:10Speaker 1: potential nickel guy? I don't see that happening. But this
- 41:14Speaker 1: is this Jack war secondary has a lot of challenges, Jeff.
- 41:18Speaker 1: I don't think Barkoo is a short, short area guy
- 41:21Speaker 1: that you need to be in nickel and he's definitely
- 41:23Speaker 1: he's an outside guy. Who else do you play? You know,
- 41:31Speaker 1: do you have any other guys that you can play?
- 41:34Speaker 1: I mean, you've got Gregg Mayben and he's been with
- 41:36Speaker 1: the Jaguars I think for two days of practice prior
- 41:40Speaker 1: to the game last week, and can can he get
- 41:42Speaker 1: up to speed on what the Jaguars are doing to
- 41:44Speaker 1: be a player in the reality is anytime you claim
- 41:47Speaker 1: a player off of waivers. I mean, what type of
- 41:49Speaker 1: quality player you talking about. I mean, he's probably a
- 41:52Speaker 1: journeyman type of player, because that's how you got him.
- 41:54Speaker 1: So the other question I think that is in my
- 41:57Speaker 1: mind is that you know you lose Von Hamilton's because
- 42:00Speaker 1: I mean, first and foremost, you gotta stop Dalvin Cook.
- 42:03Speaker 1: And if you don't have Von Hamilton's, what do you do?
- 42:05Speaker 1: I mean, who who's gonna play the nose? Then who's
- 42:08Speaker 1: gonna play the three? And and can constant play the nose?
- 42:11Speaker 1: And if he plays the nose, who's gonna play the
- 42:13Speaker 1: three technique? And it's not like there's a plethora of
- 42:16Speaker 1: defensive lineman on this roster or on the practice squad. Right.
- 42:21Speaker 1: The depth is certainly an issue there on the defensive
- 42:24Speaker 1: line now, and that's where it starts on the defensive side,
- 42:27Speaker 1: certainly against Cook. You know he Dalvin is one of
- 42:30Speaker 1: the most explosive backs in the league. We know about Henry,
- 42:33Speaker 1: but the way this guy runs, uh Tony is just
- 42:39Speaker 1: he can break it at any moment and superstar speed.
- 42:42Speaker 1: For Cook, well, he's so elusive JP your point, I mean,
- 42:48Speaker 1: he's a guy who is shift. He's great in the
- 42:50Speaker 1: open field, He's a good receiver, great the screen game. Um.
- 42:54Speaker 1: And yeah, he's not a powerful guy, but a sneaky power.
- 42:57Speaker 1: He will run through arm tackles. Um. I mean I
- 43:00Speaker 1: thought and Jeff, I mean you remember I thought he
- 43:02Speaker 1: was one of the best backs coming out of the
- 43:04Speaker 1: draft and it was the wenter Bord that and McCaffrey draft.
- 43:06Speaker 1: I thought he was just dynamic watching him with Border State. So, UM,
- 43:10Speaker 1: he's proved you thought he was the best of the bunch.
- 43:12Speaker 1: I did. I mean, I think he just has stud Now.
- 43:15Speaker 1: Obviously mccratt and McCaffrey's probably ended up being the best
- 43:17Speaker 1: of the bunch, no doubt about that. Um. But he
- 43:20Speaker 1: is super impressive. Had that early knee injury in his career,
- 43:26Speaker 1: but has certainly bounced back from that. Let's come back
- 43:29Speaker 1: in a Moment one final segment. Jared Wilson nominated for
- 43:34Speaker 1: an award. We'll get to that coming up, and we'll
- 43:36Speaker 1: see if we can get James Provinson a Pro Bowl

- 47:26Speaker 1: watching it on TV, UM there was some obviously some frustration,
- 47:31Speaker 1: but at the same time, I really like to see
- 47:32Speaker 1: how the guys went out there and competed in this
- 47:34Speaker 1: adverse situation. And uh, you know, obviously we fell short
- 47:38Speaker 1: and that's not what our goal is m But but
- 47:41Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of credit to our players
- 47:42Speaker 1: through this transition this past week. Todd washed defensive coordinator today.
- 47:49Speaker 1: He missed last week's game and had to watch it
- 47:52Speaker 1: from a hotel room where he was quarantined for ten
- 47:55Speaker 1: straight days. Welcome Back Taguars Happy Hour j P Shadrick
- 47:59Speaker 1: Tony was selly, Jeff Loghman, the Jags and the Vikings
- 48:03Speaker 1: coming up, and the coaching staff kind of getting back together.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Todd washed back in the practice field this week. Jason
- 48:09Speaker 1: Rebovich is back. Stukes is still away from the team.
- 48:13Speaker 1: But yeah, there was a lot of moving parts last
- 48:16Speaker 1: week for the Jaguars on defense on the practice field
- 48:19Speaker 1: and then on the game field as well. Joe Dana
- 48:22Speaker 1: had to call the plays on defense a week ago,
- 48:24Speaker 1: and I think Todd's glad to be out of that
- 48:27Speaker 1: hotel room logs. I'll say that. Yeah, I mean, do
- 48:31Speaker 1: you think uh, I don't think they like locked him
- 48:34Speaker 1: up or anything, and said you can't go anywhere, but uh,
- 48:38Speaker 1: and look, he didn't want to talk a whole lot
- 48:39Speaker 1: about the cold situation, but a tough situation to be in.
- 48:44Speaker 1: And uh, credit to him and also the staff because
- 48:49Speaker 1: they were able to be involved actively all week long
- 48:52Speaker 1: in the game plan and and Doug Brown talked about
- 48:54Speaker 1: it later in a week he said, look, you know,
- 48:56Speaker 1: we didn't have our guys which was essentially for about
- 48:58Speaker 1: two hours a day, which was a practice us, he said,
- 49:00Speaker 1: but everywhere else they were involved. And so glad, I mean,
- 49:05Speaker 1: what a tough situation to be in, and that you
- 49:07Speaker 1: have an extremely young defense and then all of a
- 49:09Speaker 1: sudden you're hit with four significant injuries to where four
- 49:13Speaker 1: guys have to go on I R. And you start
- 49:15Speaker 1: to play guys that haven't played and their rookies, and
- 49:18Speaker 1: now you've got to get them ready to play, but
- 49:20Speaker 1: yet your coaches can't be there to instruct them and
- 49:23Speaker 1: to encourage them. And as a player, that's got to
- 49:26Speaker 1: be a little bit of a lonely feeling. But that's
- 49:29Speaker 1: just the way it is in this COVID world we
- 49:31Speaker 1: live in. That's for sure, no doubt. Avery Jones was
- 49:34Speaker 1: out there running defensive line drills last week for a
- 49:37Speaker 1: little while, Tony. But it was tough sledding. And give
- 49:41Speaker 1: the guys credit because they worked hard and they figured
- 49:44Speaker 1: out a way to get around it. Um. It was
- 49:46Speaker 1: less an ideal Listen, none of us are living an
- 49:48Speaker 1: ideal world right now. Um. And it's tough and it's
- 49:51Speaker 1: and you hated for the coaching staff to have to
- 49:54Speaker 1: go through that. But I give the players a lot
- 49:56Speaker 1: of credit because it came out and fought that played hard.
- 49:58Speaker 1: It's one thing that this team's has done instantly, and
- 50:02Speaker 1: I feel like that's gonna be the case down the
- 50:03Speaker 1: stretch to the five to go. On defense, the Jaguars
- 50:08Speaker 1: have veteran safety Jared Wilson on the team. He missed
- 50:11Speaker 1: some time earlier in the year on i R, but
- 50:13Speaker 1: he's been back out there and the Jaguars have nominated
- 50:16Speaker 1: Wilson for the Athletes and Action Bart Starr Award. This
- 50:19Speaker 1: is the award that Calais Campbell won a couple of
- 50:22Speaker 1: years ago, and uh it's for the NFL player who
- 50:26Speaker 1: best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on
- 50:30Speaker 1: the field, and in the community. So congratulations to Jared
- 50:33Speaker 1: Wilson for the nomination and well deserving longs. Yeah, he's uh.
- 50:39Speaker 1: I don't know if if you guys have had a
- 50:41Speaker 1: chance to talk with him at any extended a period
- 50:43Speaker 1: of time. But when when we were up in Minnesota
- 50:46Speaker 1: with the practices with the Minnesota Vikings, what was that
- 50:49Speaker 1: a year ago? I guess it was. I had the
- 50:52Speaker 1: chance to talk with him and visit with him a
- 50:54Speaker 1: couple of different times. And he's one of the most
- 50:56Speaker 1: fun guys and interesting guys have talked to e extremely intelligent,
- 50:59Speaker 1: well ball Uh, definitely have great conversations with him about football,
- 51:05Speaker 1: but also a lot of other things. And and Todd
- 51:07Speaker 1: Washed his close about him. Todd Washed talked today extensively
- 51:10Speaker 1: about Jared Wilson about how much of a leader he
- 51:13Speaker 1: is and how he commands the room and how guys
- 51:17Speaker 1: respect him, and that's a lot. I mean, that's the
- 51:20Speaker 1: tremendous saying about him. And one thing that we notice,
- 51:23Speaker 1: I think is is just football fans and obviously analysts
- 51:27Speaker 1: for for the Jaguars, is that how much better the
- 51:29Speaker 1: Jaguars secondary plays when Jared Wilson is back there versus
- 51:34Speaker 1: when he's not back there as a group, and I
- 51:37Speaker 1: think that's the most significant compliment you can give anybody,
- 51:40Speaker 1: and that boy, the team just plays better when they've
- 51:43Speaker 1: got him, and everybody else plays better around him because
- 51:46Speaker 1: of him. And so I don't know if you can
- 51:48Speaker 1: say enough positive things about a Jared Wilson. He had
- 51:52Speaker 1: to buy this time around here, Tony and kind of
- 51:54Speaker 1: back up those guys from that team, and he's kind
- 51:59Speaker 1: of hung around and now he's got his opportunity in
- 52:01Speaker 1: the in the secondary here Tony. Oh yeah. He started
- 52:04Speaker 1: off as a best teams guy and he worked his
- 52:06Speaker 1: tale off and you know it was a guy that
- 52:08Speaker 1: you know, was had to fight every year. And uh,
- 52:11Speaker 1: I think he showed glimpse early that like, hey, this
- 52:14Speaker 1: is a guy who's gonna um work his tail off
- 52:16Speaker 1: and on special teams. And when he got in there,
- 52:19Speaker 1: he looked like he could do some nice things. You know,
- 52:21Speaker 1: you know who else is like that a little bit
- 52:23Speaker 1: this year and a smaller sample size, Daniel Thomas. I mean,
- 52:26Speaker 1: if you look at you talk to the coaches, he
- 52:27Speaker 1: kind of set the tone on um how he how
- 52:32Speaker 1: he performed on special teams, and I think that earned
- 52:34Speaker 1: the trust that when he went out there he'd be okay.
- 52:37Speaker 1: And I think Jerald wasn't did the same thing over
- 52:39Speaker 1: a longer period of time obviously because he had guys
- 52:41Speaker 1: who were established starters in front of him. Um and
- 52:43Speaker 1: so good for him. So now the next trick is
- 52:49Speaker 1: to see if we can get James Robinson a Pro Bowl.
- 52:54Speaker 1: Not there won't be a game this year, of course,
- 52:56Speaker 1: but there still will be a Pro Bowl team picked.
- 52:59Speaker 1: And you know, he's got a shot. It's a tough
- 53:02Speaker 1: it's a it's a little bit of a long shot though,
- 53:03Speaker 1: considering the record everything going on. But if he keeps
- 53:06Speaker 1: putting up numbers, you never know, right, guys, James Robinson
- 53:10Speaker 1: could get there. I think so. I mean it's gonna
- 53:14Speaker 1: be I mean, I think he deserves it. But at
- 53:16Speaker 1: the same token, will he get there JP, that's a
- 53:19Speaker 1: that's a tough ask because playing on a one and
- 53:22Speaker 1: ten small market football team that hasn't been very good lately,
- 53:26Speaker 1: and that's that's hard to accomplish. The reality is, though,
- 53:30Speaker 1: that he deserves to be on a Pro Bowl, a
- 53:34Speaker 1: f C squad. How many tailbacks do they take I
- 53:36Speaker 1: mean they take like two or three guys, right, and
- 53:39Speaker 1: that right, that's right. Yeah. I just think it's tough.
- 53:43Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's really tough. I mean
- 53:44Speaker 1: you look at the a f C and you look
- 53:46Speaker 1: at running backs and you have to start looking at
- 53:48Speaker 1: the guys are on, you know, kind of established teams.
- 53:51Speaker 1: And you have you have two backs in in Cleveland
- 53:54Speaker 1: and both Kareem Hunt and one of them for sure
- 53:56Speaker 1: possibly both of those guys could end up going. You
- 53:59Speaker 1: have Derek Henry obviously he's in there. That leaves one spot. Um,
- 54:03Speaker 1: and if you go through it, I mean it becomes
- 54:05Speaker 1: really difficult for a guy. Is Jeff said, you know,
- 54:08Speaker 1: no one's paying attention to the Jaguars have lost ten
- 54:11Speaker 1: straight small market undrafted guy. So, um, I think you do.
- 54:17Speaker 1: I think he deserves a shot absolutely. I think in
- 54:20Speaker 1: JP we talked about if this was a normal year
- 54:23Speaker 1: where they actually played the Pro Bowl and there's gonna
- 54:25Speaker 1: be a bunch of alternates. I think he for sure
- 54:27Speaker 1: ends up in Orlando or wherever the heck they were
- 54:29Speaker 1: going on the game this year. So um, I mean,
- 54:33Speaker 1: he he has he has been remarkable. I don't care
- 54:35Speaker 1: if he makes a Pro Bowl or not. He has
- 54:37Speaker 1: had a remarkable year. Jeff has said at multiple times
- 54:39Speaker 1: on the broadcast, where would this team be without him?
- 54:46Speaker 1: Wouldn't be good, right question? No, Josh Jacobs another guy, Yeah,
- 54:52Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, another guy JP. But uh, I mean, look,
- 54:56Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs also has a team that's been pretty competitive.
- 55:01Speaker 1: I mean, the Jaguars have one win and and I
- 55:04Speaker 1: think Jay Gruden said it last week he said, can
- 55:06Speaker 1: you imagine what James Robinson's output would be if the
- 55:11Speaker 1: Jaguars were able to play with a lead occasionally towards
- 55:15Speaker 1: the end of the ball game, and where you can
- 55:18Speaker 1: hand the ball off to James Robinson, allow him to
- 55:21Speaker 1: kill the clock and get more touches. I mean that
- 55:24Speaker 1: it would be tremendous. But uh. But nonetheless, I think
- 55:27Speaker 1: I think the people in the National Football League that
- 55:29Speaker 1: watch film and and watch it, I think they appreciate
- 55:32Speaker 1: James Robinson. And every week that the Jaguars getting ready
- 55:35Speaker 1: to face somebody from Mike Tomlin on down, every other
- 55:38Speaker 1: coach that the Jaguars have based, one of the first
- 55:40Speaker 1: name out of their mouths has been James Robinson. The
- 55:43Speaker 1: fan base I think, and I say the fan base,
- 55:46Speaker 1: the NFL fan base, there may be a lot of
- 55:48Speaker 1: them that still don't even know who the hell James
- 55:50Speaker 1: Robinson is. I mean, that's just the reality. Like Tony said,
- 55:52Speaker 1: he was undrafted, and when you come in and you're undrafted,
- 55:55Speaker 1: nobody knows who you are, so that all of a
- 55:57Speaker 1: sudden they keep seeing a name. The one thing I
- 55:59Speaker 1: think that has helped j Robinson, I think it's helped
- 56:01Speaker 1: every NFL player is the fantasy output, because James has
- 56:05Speaker 1: continued to be a pretty good fantasy player. And I'm
- 56:08Speaker 1: sure there's some people out there in the draft and
- 56:09Speaker 1: I'm really late and we're very happy to have him.
- 56:12Speaker 1: But fantasy certainly helps the exposure for a guy like
- 56:15Speaker 1: James Robinson certainly does. Final thoughts about the game coming
- 56:20Speaker 1: up Sunday, the Jaguars and the Vikings. The Jags that
- 56:24Speaker 1: want intend, the Vikings need the game certainly to keep
- 56:28Speaker 1: pace in the NFC playoff picture. The offense is playing
- 56:31Speaker 1: well up there historically obviously a tough place to play,
- 56:35Speaker 1: but the fans will not be an issue this week. Tony,
- 56:39Speaker 1: what is your feeling on Thursday going into Sunday's game, Listen,
- 56:44Speaker 1: it's tough for all things we talked about, they got
- 56:46Speaker 1: really good skill set of skill positions, and uh, this
- 56:49Speaker 1: is a team that's beat up defensively. Um, you know,
- 56:53Speaker 1: they're not great defensively than theirselves. So maybe you can
- 56:55Speaker 1: get something going and score some points. And we talked
- 56:58Speaker 1: about James Robinson, but going up to Minnesota for with
- 57:00Speaker 1: the plan of team that's fighting to stay in the
- 57:02Speaker 1: playoff point you've bought tennant Row, I think it's tough.
- 57:04Speaker 1: It's tough task. Yeah, definitely a tough task. Of the
- 57:09Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings are a little bit on a roll. They
- 57:12Speaker 1: won four out of their last five. They can score
- 57:15Speaker 1: some points. Their defense is young, though, and so if
- 57:19Speaker 1: if Mike Glennon can get a little hot, get a
- 57:22Speaker 1: little bit better than what he was this pass game
- 57:25Speaker 1: and the receivers can have significant games against a very
- 57:29Speaker 1: young secondary, then they got a chance. You know. And
- 57:32Speaker 1: this football team, I'm not counting them out. I mean,
- 57:34Speaker 1: Doug Brown has been I think over the last number
- 57:36Speaker 1: of weeks, has gotten this team to play extremely hard
- 57:39Speaker 1: and to be extremely competitive. And the reality is, I
- 57:42Speaker 1: think that that's a job. I think that's been done
- 57:45Speaker 1: with some players that aren't exactly the best in the world.
- 57:49Speaker 1: So uh, if they can do it again against the
- 57:51Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, and kudos to them, it would be a nice,
- 57:56Speaker 1: nice day at the office of the Jackson can get
- 57:58Speaker 1: something done, certainly this week at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Tony,
- 58:03Speaker 1: thank you for the time. We will talk to you
- 58:06Speaker 1: a little bit later. Always great to be with you, guys, Tony,
