• 1:11
  Speaker 1: good afternoon. Hey, what's up. It's it's a lot going on,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you know, I think the everybody could use a happy hour.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Drink right about now and Jaguar Land, did you bring anything?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I did not what it is? Two and thirteen record,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: seven game losing skid. There was a report that general
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: manager Trent Ballkey is being retained as the GM. So
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of reaction to that, of course
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: on social media, a lot of strong reaction, a lot
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of reports of names now that are being contacted for
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: potential interviews by Jaguars brass. So there's a lot of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: news out there these days. Yeah, and uh, and we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: thought the drama was gonna end with the fiering of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, but it hasn't. And you know, you could
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: actually say that the drama has been added on to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: over the last two weeks because you played two teams
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that are not very good football teams that had a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: major COVID issue as far as their roster goes, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this team couldn't be to either one of them. I mean,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that's that's also part of the main story that's going
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: on right now, and that's and that's unfortunate. I really
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: thought that this football team should have beaten the New
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: York Jets. I thought that they should have played much
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: better against the Houston Texans, and should have beaten them
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: with the number of starters that that that they had out.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And uh, the one good thing, if there's any consolation
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to these two games, is that Trevor Lawrence I thought
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: played pretty well in New York. I do and his
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: best overall feeling game in a while, well yeah, in
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a while, and his protection was really good. And the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: reality is the New York Jets were missing a ton
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of guys in their back end, so you felt like
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that it was a game that he should have had
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: some success in. In fact, one of their safeties that
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: was playing in the ball game would have been with
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the team for less than forty eight hour, so you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you would expect a performance like that. So it was good.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Look and when you expect it, you it's good to see.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just not good enough just to have it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So um so that was a positive, I mean, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that's and here's the reality. His day could have been
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: even better if his wide receivers would make some place
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for him. In fact, I can't argue that he gotta
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you gotta drop in the end zone or near the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: end zone. I think it might have been in the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: end zone by Treadwell, you've got uh an opportunity by
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Marvin Jones Jr. To make a play. Uh drops the ball. Uh.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: There was contact made, but he could have avoided some
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of that made the timing of it better by coming
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: back to the ball. He had some just plain drops
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that were just in their hands. It would have been
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: minimal games but still it would have raised his completion
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: percentage and uh and the overall success of the day.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So and and he wasn't perfect, but at least uh,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: at least it would have would have you would have
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: had a better kind of showing than what even saw.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And defensively, they gave up two hundred seventy three rushing
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: yards in the hundred yard rusher tied for the fourth
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: most rushing yards allowed enfranchise history, by the way, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a quarterback that nearly rushed for a hundred yards against them.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And it was an embarrassing play on the fifty two
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. Yes, I mean there's no other way
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to describe it. I mean that was that was an
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: embarrassing play. I mean you smooched, got him into pocket,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Gotsis gets out of balance in his rush lane and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: then Rudy Ford I have no idea what he was
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: doing there when he had an opportunity to push him
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: out of bounds, wingered with a poor effort at the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: end of the play. Uh, just a just a bad
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: job overall. And that's the kind of play that kind
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of just sticks in your crawl and you go, come on, guys,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: got to be better than that, way better than that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: That's the one that sums up everything I think the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: last little while is that one right there. And the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: defensive and then as a whole had been has been
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the group that had been hanging in there the last
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: few weeks. You know what, given this team an opportunity
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: if the offense had been doing anything to stay in
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: some of these games they were playing okay, but that
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: was jp that they gave up two d seventy three
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: yards rushing nine yards Zack Wilson, okay. In the New
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: York Jets were missing they're tuting two starting guards, Vera
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Tucker and du Rena Dunay Tardiff the left and right
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: guard out. And then the center got hurt in the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: ball game and they had to do a little bit
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of shuffling to to their lineup. And oh, by the way,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: they didn't have their tight end they're starting tight end
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: nor their backup tight end available in the ball game,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: but yet they rushed for two hundred and seventy six
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: yards or seventy three yards whatever. Was Yeah, that's like,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: what do you come on, Well, if it's not for
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the offense, and then it's not for the defense, then
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you get to special teams. And there were issues there
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to kick off return and that was one of a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: few that went from a decent distance. Obviously that one
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: went for a hundred and two and a touchdown, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it was the end up a hundred two d changed it. Okay,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, the crazy touchdown doesn't matter. No,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: But the reality is and we're looking at it now
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in front of us, and those that are listening to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: us through social media channels are seeing it. Braxton Barrios,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you knew he's a good player, he's a Pro Bowl alternate.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He was not touched within three yards of him. He
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: was not touched for the entire return, and that's disappointing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Somebody tapped his heel in the end zone. I think
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that doesn't County doesn't matter. Once he's once he's in
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the end zone, he can't be touched. And have a count. Okay,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: but I mean that's a you know, Andre Cisco, not
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a very good job on that, Okay, a couple of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the guys. You know, Look, you've got to be better
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: than that. And that's two weeks in a row that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you've given up a kick return for a touchdown and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that's that's not acceptable at all. I mean, you can't.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You can't. You can't allow that, especially when you have
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: safety type players in that situation, so that if you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: do have somebody that can crease you, then you have
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a safety that can can make a play and you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: got you gotta get off a block. I mean, some
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of these guys were getting blocked and it wasn't even
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: wasn't even good blocks. You know, it's just not a
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: not a very good play. I can tell you that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And here and here's the reality. It doesn't get any
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: easier in the last two weeks. I can tell you that.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is is that you're
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: not you're out of the playoff picture, you don't have
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a head coaching place for next year. You're right now
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the top pick in the next Springs draft, and you've
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: got COVID going on. Seven guys you've got all this
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: stuff that's going on to distract you from being at
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: your best. And and we talk talked about this a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: little bit before the game in New York about how
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: even though you want to be intense and focus and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff and do your job, it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: it's easier said than done. By the way, the Jaguars
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: have just now made an announcement some more roster moves.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Yesterday we saw what ten eleven guys placed on the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: reserve COVID nineteen list. Here's the full list that has
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: just come down from Jaguars PR and their announcement on
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: injured reserve Logan Cook, punter on I r now Uh
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: from Jacksonville's practice squad to the active roster. Defensive back
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Brandon Russnack signed to the Jags active roster from Buffalo's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: practice squad, tight end call A Wearing signed to the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: practice squad for the Jags. A punter Joseph Charlton, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: defensive end uh An, outside linebacker Hercules Matafa and then
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: on three have been placed on the reserve COVID nineteen
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: list today. Tight end Jake A Polish your defensive tackle
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: j to Philly and linebacker Damien Wilson. Those are the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: moves today for the Jaguars. So no, no players have
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: come off the COVID nineteen lists today, not yet. Which
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if if a player is unvaccinated, then it doesn't matter.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: He's ten days on COVID regardless. If a player is vaccinated,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and if he has consecutive tests that are negative, then
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: he can come off. I mean right now, if you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: look at it from an offensive standpoint, Levisca, I consider
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: him a starter, and he missed last week's game. He
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: is still on COVID. You have your three interior offensive
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: lineman on COVID list, which is Norwell, Lennar and BArch.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: BArch missed last week's game. Man Hurts the starting tight end,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: he's on COVID, Luke Farrell, your backup tight end, Dan Arnold,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: who was on the return Yeah he was gonna return.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Are designated a return Jacob Hollister. So now the only
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: tight end that you have on your roster that is
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: not on COVID is James O'Shaughnessy. So that's a position
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: much like it hurt last week. At the end of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the game, he did it, much like the Jets got
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: hammered at the safety position from a COVID standpoint and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: an injury standpoint, this that's the position that right now
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: looks to be a problem and defensively, starter wise, last week,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Caleman Chason was a starting outside linebacker with along with
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Dawn Smith. So Caleman is now out, Miles Jack was
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: out last week's stilong COVID Davon Hamilton, Damian Wilson, Malcolm Brown.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And so if you consider that Caleman is a starter,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that's one, two, three, four or five six six starters
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: on COVID. Defensively, if you count Caleban and Josh Allen
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: still starters, I mean that's that's huge. Uh. Josh reports
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: are that he may be unvaccinated, is gonna miss this
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: week regard list. So that's a tough situation to be in.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And last year, all these roster rules were put in
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: place to prepare for this, but they don't prepare you
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for this. You still got to figure it out. They
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: give you the idea to okay, we can move guys
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: around on this, that you still have to go figure
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: out how to do it. You know. Offense, the tight
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: end position is one that that that's hammered. Look at
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the outside linebacking position on defense. Okay, uh. The only
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: guy that's not on COVID is Smoot because Josh Allen,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Renty McCrae, Caleman, Chase On and Jordan Smith who hasn't
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: been active for a game yet this year. He was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be up last week if he wasn't on this. Yeah,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and so now you have one guy that's left, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that's Smoot at outside linebacker. Yeah. And they just who
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: they just signed um to the practice squad one, so
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: they get ready, Hercules, you're about to be up there.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Well and you uh, you claimed off of waiver Tamir Jones,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: linebacker from the Rams. I don't know if he's inside
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: or outside linebacker. I mean we he may have to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: play outside. Just get out there and play. You talked
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: about a game plan that would be extremely limited. Extremely
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I mean because I know, use the example, the Jets
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: played a lot of man coverage. And I think the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: reason why the Jets played a lot of man coverage
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: in that game is because how a lot easier to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: understand the rules of man coverage. Once you've got a guy,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you got a guy that it's a cat coverage. I
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: got that cat okay, And Joe doesn't like that term cat,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: but it's app appropriate and that type of situation that
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: they actually had a safety the Jets did, and uh
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in his name okay because I made a note of it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Will Parks, which is a guy that's been around the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: league for six years, and then Kai Nika. These guys
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: were signed literally within forty eight hours of game time
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and played. Both of them were active. Nicol was a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: special teams guy, play I think a couple of snaps
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on defense, and then Will Parks played I think the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: entire game on defense. Having been in the system less
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: than forty eight hours. Can you imagine how sore he was,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I mean off the street now, not like elevated from
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the practice squad. Well, I can say that he won't
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: feel so bad when the check clears. I know that, yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I bet. I mean, I look at a great opportunity
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: for guys that don't have a job. But I mean,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: just think about this new variant that's spreading like wildfire.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: That's supposedly he's not not very damaging as far as
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the symptoms go. Is taking guys out just because you
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: know we're they're testing positive for that. I mean at
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: some point you've got to you start thinking, okay, do
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: we just not let guy? You know, is it okay
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to play with a what? The symptoms appear to be
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: very similar to the common cold. I don't know. There's
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: reports today that the Players Association of the league are
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: working on some changes since the CDC may had some
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: changes this week. Well, you know, obviously, if that comes
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: out in the next couple of hours, we'll get that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to you. But who knows. Moving ahead? Did you watch
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the Monday night game last night? By the way, Saints
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: had a similar issue, had some guys down, they had
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the quarterback shook was starting and just getting just destroyed
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: right all game long. It was just not a great
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: football product, especially on Monday night football. Okay, but that
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and seriously, and you're dead on because of the quarterback situation,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that makes it very apparent, just like last year the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Denver Broncos had to have a wide receiver playing quarterback
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: for a game. I mean, it's that's not entertaining football, okay,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But as long as you have the quarterback. We saw
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: two games firsthand that we're still very entertaining and and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and the teams did a good job. The Texans and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the Jets they functioned just fine. They figured against the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Jaguars football team, they did figured it out, okay. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and and I saw because of what happened last night,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and and it was that's that's obviously, and you're right,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: jp that's not a good display football. And in reaction
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to that, coaches are realizing now that, look, you better
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: start taking some precautions with your quarterback room. And so
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of teams are are because they're basically all
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the protocols and everything. Most of them are instituted by
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the team. For example, the Jaguars, with the number of
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: players that they have, they have intensive protocols in place,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and a lot of those are self administered. And some
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: teams have taken it as far as that they're not
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: getting their quarterbacks in the same room or near each
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: other at all unless it's practice. And even in practice,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they're keeping them separated so that they don't risk exposure,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: so that they don't have what the Jaguars are have
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: happening with outside linebacker and also the tight end patition.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You don't want to have that happen to your quarterback
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: room with Carson Wentz went on the list today and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be out this week, and who knows, because
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: he's been open about that cold sort of the playoffs.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're right in the thick of the playoff
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: race and he's out for ten days now, that's right.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So he misses this week and then next week he'll
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: be questioned back the middle of the next week. We'll see, um,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: so do you have it? We'll come back in a moment.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: We'll get to some of these names that are reportedly
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: being asked by the Jaguars to be interviewed, some a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: couple of games that are out of the league at
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the moment that can talk to anytime, and a little
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: later we'll take a look ahead to the New England
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Patriots and week number seventeen, the Baptist Health Injury Report
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: as well. The full updated list of COVID nineteen for
• 16:36

  Speaker 1: Visit v r I Productions dot com. It's Jaguars Happy
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. I really feel like
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: every opportunity we've had some I'm back and win the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: game on two minutes drive or whatever. It is always
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: like we've had that confidence on offerense, um, but what
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: was different about this one is just so close to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: get down there on the two yard I mean with
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: two yards away. Um, And obviously it didn't you know,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: get a't execute, cleaning et therapy hands, um. A lot
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: of stuff to learn from the way we put that
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: drive together, the way we stayed on schedule. Um, it
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: was great. I mean even you know, Osha goes down,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: gets hurt, can't do anything about that, lose the last
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: time out for us to just you know, keep our
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: head in the game and really execute and put ourselves
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in a situation getting down there. Um. Really, I guess
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: we despite the ball I don't know, fifteen seconds the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: show on the clock and have an opportunity to get
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: a last playoff from you too. I mean, that's all
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you can ask for in this We gotta be better
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: executed on the same page and um. Yeah, there's quarterback
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence after the game Sunday in New York and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. J P Shadrick, Jeff
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Flagaman coming up at five o'clock on the Jaguars Radio Network,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars Coaches Show here from interim head coach DARYLD
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Bevil and get his thoughts on that Jets game, the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen situation that continues to add up for the Jaguars.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Three more names listed just a few minutes ago added
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to the list now eighteen if you don't count to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: E T N, so that's nineteen. Another practice squad players.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: That's twenty if you count those, and uh, you know
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: it's gonna affect things for the foreseeable few days at
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: least we'll see what happens if the changes happen. All
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that coming up. So yeah, five o'clock will hear from
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Daryl Bevill and get his early thoughts on the New
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: England Patriots as well. You know, there's all these reports
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: coming out now because the Jaguars can begin reaching out
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to other teams to ask permission. As of eight o'clock
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: this morning, I believe so. So we already heard had
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: heard a couple of names that were not in the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: league currently, Doug Peterson and Jim Caldwell, guys who have
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: experienced as head coaches in the NFL. But the names
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you started seeing listen to today and report Sunline Byron
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Left which and Todd Bulls both of Tampa Bay, the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: offensive and defensive coordinators respectively, which I got. I got
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of respect for for Todd Bowles. Uh when
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the job that he did, I thought, with the with
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the New York Jets, I think he needed more of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a chance, more of an opportunity, and he needed they
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: needed some time to get the personnel right, and that
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I think it was a an opportunity. They're lost by
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the Jets. You just needed to find better personnel because
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Todd Bowles is is as stable as measured, high quality guy,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and the Jets needed that at that time, and they
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: let him go too early. I thought, so I like him.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a there's a lot of looking. Here's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the reality. In a perfect world, you'd like to have
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: an offensive type of guy, because you know, you want
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to make sure that the offensive system states consistent with
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: a young Trevor Lawrence. And that's gonna be ultra important
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: to whoever that you hire. But it's not. It's not
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the end all be all. You don't have to have
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: an offensive coach. There's some really good defensive coordinators out there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I think that uh uh also a good defensive coordinator,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: mattieberflus So the Indianapolis Cults is highly respecting. He's on
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the list. Uh, Todd Bowles highly respected. I mean, so
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: there's good candidates, you know, the Jim called Wells and
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the other offensive guys. The former coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Uh,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Peter Doug Peterson is another name that you mentioned there.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, these guys that were at at one point
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: viewed as great offensive minds. Jim called well I think
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it's about sixty seven years old. Some view that is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of a negative, But I wouldn't
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: necessarily view that as a negative because right now you
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: need to get some a nice calming influence and and
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: some great leadership with the football side of the organization.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And and that's imperative, and you gotta you gotta do
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the right thing this time. And you made a mistake
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: last year. I guess I say this year because it
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: happened earlier. This year that didn't work out, So you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: gotta get a couple other names that have been reportedly
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: linked to the Jags. Kellen Moore, Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and dan Quinn on the defensive side. Yeah, and dan
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Quinn has been there, done that, defensive guy head coach
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Falcons. Kellen Moore Byron left, which I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: would put kind of them in a in a similar boat.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: As far as they've both been, they're still young, uh,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: offensive coaches and obviously both played quarterback. Kellen Moore is
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit younger than Byron Byron, there's a link
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to the organization. You know. I don't know how Byron
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: feels about his time here in Jacksonville, but I don't
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: know if he would view it as a real positive
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: because things didn't go I think it's planned with him,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: but but nonetheless it would be a different situation with
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: him being a coach and and is he ready? You know,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. I haven't been around Byron much lately,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: but I like Byron as a guy and uh, and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's learned a lot having been with Tom
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Brady recently. And here's the other reality. Would he want
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: to leave that? I mean, this is you're you're talking
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: about an opportunity to continue to coach with the greatest
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: player of all time. Do you leave that to take
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a job with a franchise that's been losing for a decade.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I mean that's and I'm not saying that to be funny.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a realistic question of the matter
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: because in theory, stick with it until that train is run.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: It's trying to ask you this, if you're if you
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: still have an opportunity, if you were Byron, would you
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: leave the opportunity to coach Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of all time? When when you know that you're still
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: gonna have chances down the line, would you leave that opportunity?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: It be hard, wouldn't be It could be tough. It
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: would be really hard to do that. And uh and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any player that's ever played
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the game that you would consider that with. But Tom
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Brady that's different. So we'll see everybody said he just
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: won his eighteenth division championship. Think about that. The Jacks
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: have one hired Tom Brady run this team. This is
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: what is this the twenty seventh season of Jack's football.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: He's won eighteen division titles. It's unbelievable. I mean it's
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: uh literally, I mean when I when I say that,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I mean and when I say that about Byron, about
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: would you leave it? I mean, that's that's an all seriousness, now,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: that would I mean, that's look, and I know there's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: only thirty two jobs and thirty two openings or not
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: even openings, but thirty two jobs in the National Football
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: League and in the in the pay for a head
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: job is amazing. I get all that. But look, Byron
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: played quarterback in the National Football League. Okay, he made money. Okay,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: he's been a coach ever since he stopped playing. Byron's
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: bank account is not in need right now as far
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: as immediate need. I'm sure he'd like to be able
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: to put about eight or nine million dollars a year
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: into his bank account by being a head coach. But
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: like I said, there's also something to be said for
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to be able to coach the greatest of
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: all time. And is he really coaching him. He's probably
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: just working with him. I think that's a better way
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: to put it. That's okay too, absolutely, that's uh. It's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: good for both sides apparently, because it's working out well
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and he's doing a good job. And I like Barron,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I like kind of ever since he was
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: at Marshal. The whole leadership thing that he showed at Marshall,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I like, I like that about him. You know, what
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I do like about this whole thing is that it
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: does start two weeks earlier than normal. They change that
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: rule with the owners, but JP, the rules, I don't
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: care what the rules said. That stuff started long before
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the two weeks rule has been instituted. I mean, and
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I guarantee that phone calls have already been made around
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the league for the openings that have been open. I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: mean that's just that's just natural. I mean, look, who's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: to say that agents can't talk and well, you know, hey,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: look yeah, we're just having a friendly conversation here, JP,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it's talking ball. You want a football team and you know,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: look I'm a coach and you know, and talk to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: my agent. Yeah we could, we could probably work something.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that happens. That stuff happens all the time.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: It's like free agency tampering. And they have this legal
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: tampering period two days. So now what they do is
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: they actually they violate the legal tampering period, the tamper
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: before that, you know, So I mean it's just look,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, people talk and that's not gonna change. We'll
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: come back in just a moment. We're gonna look forward
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: logs to a trip to Foxborough. Member word of that
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: can't wait. Jackson never won there, just like I was
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: looking forward to my trip on Christmas Day to go
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to New York and then the day after Christmas to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: sit in an airport for about five or six hours. Well,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: we'll come back and talk ball when we returned. The
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: New England Patriots and the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up, of
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: course at five o'clock. It's the Jaguars Coaches Show. We'll
• 25:44

  Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network, Jaguars Happy. I was fucked you
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: by t I A A. Banks Sharon potential into progress
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and by public where shopping disa played. Yeah, we just
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: didn't line up correctly at the beginning. Um, and then
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you know we had we had a motion that went
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: along with it, and the you know the once you
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: know once are we weren't all set. We were we
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: were down the clock a little bit. So we were
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: trying to move the guy that was in motion and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: we never all fully got set so um, you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: not something that that should happen at that moment in
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the game and something we gotta get corrected. That's Darryl
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Bevil yesterday recapping the final play for the Jaguars offense
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: and the loss to the Jets and an illegal shift
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: and the game was over. And welcome back to Jaguars
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Happy Hour j P. Shadick with Jeff Logerman coming up
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: at five o'clock. More from Darryl Bevil, interim head coach
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Coaches Show. We'll break down that Jets
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: game some more. The COVID nineteen additions. Will have the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: full list coming up in just a moment, but we'll
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: hear from Darryl and what that does for the organization
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and preparation and just meetings and every are you think
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: in general? Was I've been shaking up this week around
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars organization. All that's coming up in just a
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: little bit this week, though, Lougs Week seventeen, shake it
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: off and get ready because you're headed to Foxburg, last
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: week of the season, No two more to go. This
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: is the final road trip. Uh, and it's Gillette Stadium,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Foxborough against the Patriots team flatting for playoffs and what
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: it is. That's a good question, because we got we
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: got really lucky this past weekend in New York. It
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: was it was absolutely beautiful. I mean it was a
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: little a little cool, but for New York standards, pretty decent.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And the win wasn't even terribly bad either, because typically
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: coming across the swamps of New Jersey, that wind can roll.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: It picked up a little bit. You could probably hear
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of people that were watching on television when the mic,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: when the mike was turned on by the head official,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you could hear a little wind whipping into it. But
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: but for the most part, I mean, you couldn't ask
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: for a better day. So we're looking at chance of
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: rain and a high of fifty five Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Chance of rain Saturday, so you never know, that can
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: shift a little round around a little bit. But in
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the mid fifties, yeah, I do know that we were Actually,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I think the entire East Coast was expecting a little
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: bit of a frontal system to come down cool things
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: off at the beginning part of next week, and so
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that that's part of some of the same
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: thing that we'll be going through up there. But yes,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: if it's in the fifties and rain, that's miserable. That's
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: like the worst thing you can play in. His rain
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: low of twenty nine that day. The next day the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: highest thirty one low of nineteen. Uh, Doppler logs here
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: weather man, right, I'm a weather man, you are. So
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, let's start with their defense. This is a
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: defense that's among the best groups in all the NFL. Statistically,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: they are third in total defense, third in passing defense.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: They have a couple of guys that are going to
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl corner in j. C. Jackson and that
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Judean who can rush the passer. But you know, they
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: kind of spread the wealth. There's a lot of guys
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: that can play their part in this defense. Who they've
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: got some guys that they've got guys on COVID D
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: have to check the rest of the list. You're just
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: kind of curious because, I mean, the guys that really
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: have stood out from from what I have watched so far.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: J C. Jackson obviously a really good player, fourth year
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: player out of Maryland. Judean is uh is a beast.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I mean whoever has to block him is gonna have
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: their hands full, I really and for years, Donte high
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Tower has been an excellent player. He's a big kind
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of a thumper in the middle. Uh. Juwan Bentley I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: think is a very active player. And so they've got
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: some good players, and they've got some guys that fill
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: some roles like Dietrich Wise, Lawrence, guy got yall and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: then the rookie Christian Barmore obviously an Alabama guy. JP
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you know him, you know, but uh mccordy in the
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: back end has been there forever. They've got a really
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: good unit overall. And the crazy thing is they spent
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: a ton of money in free agency on the offensive
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, a little bit of money on
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and they do a
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: great job. And they do not have a named defensive coordinator,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: which is kind of odd. They have a senior uh
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: uh advisor, which is Matt Patricia, who was the longtime
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator there before he left to go to be
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the head coach of the Detroit Lions. They supposedly have
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Steve Belichick, the outside linebackers coach. He's calling plays and
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: his brother Brian Belichick is the safety's coach. Um so interesting,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I mean that you don't have a name defensive coordinator
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: there certainly is. By the way, the Patriots added Matt
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Judean and Jowan Bentley to the reserve COVID nineteen lists
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: is yesterday. They joined Romandre Stevenson, Diatrick Wise. You see
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Durant and Harvey Langy on the lists. Yeah, Rmander Stevenson
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: is the talented running back. I mean he's a really
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: good running back. I like him. And then Kendrick Boorne
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: was on the list last week. Early missed all three
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: practices but still played in the game. He tested back in.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So they they've had some issues. It's not as deep
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: as of right now as the Jaguars issue. I mean
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: it's uh, it seems like it's like it's everywhere now.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I mean how many friends that you know and family
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: that had Yeah, it's uh, it's definitely different, and thank
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: goodness for the most part, it's it's not hampering or
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: hammering a lot of people. This this latest strain. You know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, did you have a chance to read
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: how some of it has impacted the guys. And I'm
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: talk talking about the omicron Strain. But the other ones,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, heck, the Jaguars have that. Did you read
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: the story about him this past week? Of course they
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: signed uh right, Armstad And I remember last year he
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: was on COVID like the entire year, all season long,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: and then at one point Doug Maron was like, yeah,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: I don't expect him. Yeah, he's not gonna be back.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: And I guess myo kard itis for some information with
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the heart and all that kind of stuff. Man, it's
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: just good to see him back playing football after after
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: dealing with something like that. Uh. The the other latest
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: report a guy that just came out because he just
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: got off the COVID list, Allen Robinson, former Jaguar draft
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: pick out of Penn State, had COVID. He said that
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: he lost about ten pounds. He's not even close, he said,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: to be him back to a pent So, I mean,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: it's impacting some of these guys in a in a
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: in a pretty big way. But for the most part,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: it's not impacting anybody that much. So so I mean
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah, let's h and let's see again. Um,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: if the league changes some of the standards to get back,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the work in progress. According to some
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: reports earlier today, the new England offense Mac Jones rookie
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: overall pick this past year, he's not really pushing the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: ball down the field. He's got a higher centagege now.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I keep hearing people say this and and
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: look Mac Jones, he but he pushes the ball down
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the field. Enough trust me, Okay, because here here's one
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: way to know. Okay, yards per attempt. Okay, that's typically
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a great measure of how far players pushing it down
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the field. He's at seven point two, Trevor's at five
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: point nine. So who's pushing the ball down the field.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: What's the high point in the league? I would wonder, Like,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter. My point is is that
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: you know, we're pretty close. We're not saying that Trevor
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Lawrence is just checking it down, right. I Mean, they
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: haven't had a deep ball here most season long, for
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the most part. But I'm saying that we're not saying
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: that he's just checking it down. I mean, that's the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: first thing that people kind of want to say about
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Matt j as well. He's just checking it down and
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: he's throwing screens and all like No, he's throwing the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: ball down the field to turn on the film the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: guys throwing the ball down. He's not throwing go routes
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: every time. He's not doing that. But I mean it's
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: not like he's you know that they put him in
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: this kind of kid garden level passing attack. I mean,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the guy's the guy's an NFL passer, and he's a
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: good player, and he's accurate. I mean, that's very apparent.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: He's the top ten accuracy guy. And uh but I
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: mean I think that's kind of demeaning to say, oh,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: he's just a dinker and a dunker. That's that's not
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: that's not him. And I will say that the Patriots
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: have done a much better job than this team as
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: far as managing their quarterback. First of all, they have
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: a better supporting cast around him. And number two, they
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: have managed the amount of attempts that he's had so
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: far in the season. They have limited his exposure and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: that's and I think that's a great way. And when
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: you have a very good surrounding cast, you can have
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: that ability a little bit more. And I mean, look
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: at the attempts and he's had and has he missed
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: any games this year zero zero okay, Trevor missed any
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: games zero okay. And and obviously with the Patriots winning
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: nine games, I think is what were they nine games
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: now that they've won that they have been able to
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: keep a score and what the score is tighter they're
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: winning than they have the ability to run the ball
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. But I mean, just looking from
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: a from an attempt standpoint, you know, Matt Jones and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: attempts four hundred and sixty one attempts on the season.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has five hundred and forty three. It's a
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: lot more. And that that's kind of my point is
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that you know, when you manage a young quarterback, you
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: want to kind of limit the exposure that the quarterback has,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: so you rely more on the running game. You rely
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: more on the controlled passing attack. They were forced to
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: rely on the running game three weeks ago in Buffalo,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: and which was all fifty degree snowing and blowing three
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: attempts in that game three he was two or three passing,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: and I don't even think he wanted to go three passes.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I think Belichick would have run the ball game. That
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: is awesome. That changed a little bit I watched. I
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: watched some of that game, and that was that was
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: truly impressive. Yeah, I mean Harris is around the ball.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: He had three touchdowns last week over a hundred yards.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: They've got good got two tight ends obviously to free agents. Yeah,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Hunter Henry John hu Smith are two good players. I
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: really like their wide receivers. I think that they do
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: all the dirty work. And that's the one thing that
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I think the Patriot wide receivers have always done, and
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that's kind of always a little bit of a trade
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: of a Bill Belichick offense is that the wide receivers
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: always do the dirty work. They're good blockers. Um, They're
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: not the Keyshawn Johnson types that say, oh yeah, I
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: gotta get the ball, which was which made Randy Moss
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the one, you know, or the limited amount of time
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: that he had in New England so interesting because that's
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: typically not what you have with the New England Patriot
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: types of guys, you know. And but I like their
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. I think they they're they're very good. The
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: one guy that they had as a high pick a
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago that doesn't get a ton of
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: balls as Harry and Kill and what uh and killing
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Harry the wide receiver. He was a first round pick,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't he? Okay? I like him just because he's a
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: big dude. He doesn't get the ball a lot, but
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: uh uh, not a ton anyway. But I like him
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: just as a blocker. He's a big dude too. But
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Jakobe Meyers born Aglar, I mean, they do a really
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: good job of spreading the ball around with that offense,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: and and their offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels does a really
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: good job. Now I'm not a big fan of him
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: as far as you know, being a head coach because
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: he hadn't done a very good job and what happened
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: with the Indianapolis Colts doesn't kind of leave a real
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: positive taste in your mouth about him as a potential
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: head coach. But making a mistake about it, he's a
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: very very very sharp offensive mind. Harry thirty second pick
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: in the first round, and big dude. Have you seen him?
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I mean he's like two pounds, yeah, I mean big,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: so let him in la Visco line up? Is uh,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: they've both of those guys should be these hybrid wide
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: receiver h back. Seriously, I mean they should both be
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: tight end types. In my opinion, if you're looking for
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the m v P of the truck game, then look
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: no further than four D F one fifty, loaded with
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: impressive capability and designed to dominate work play and everything
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: in between. This truck makes tough look easy, no wonder.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: It's the official truck of the NFL and proud partner
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: of your Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll take a look at the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: injury reports, look around the a f C South. When
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: we come back that at five o'clock, it's the Jaguars

  Speaker 1: dot v A dot gov. Recapping the Jets game of course, Uh,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: there's all the reports online of print ball keeping retained
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: as GM and then the names of the coaches that
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: have been or are going to be contacted and asked
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: to be interviewed that are around the National Football League currently.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: A couple of coaches that have already been in the
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: league before who are out currently on that list also,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: But so a lot of a lot of things going
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. And then he got football game
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: to get ready for. And you've got the COVID. Yeah,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: the Baptist Health Injury Report Baptist Health Changing health Care
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: for Good features so many names on the reserve COVID
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: nineteen list, and this is uh, including today, they've added
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: three this afternoon. J two Felly added to that list today.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Um Damien Wilson was added today. Uh, here's the other one.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: And then Jacob Hollister tied in adding today Josh Shall,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Dan Arnold, Ben Bar, Malcolm Brown, Caleb and Chase On,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Luke Farrell, Devon, Hamilton Hollister, Miles, Jack, Brandon, Lender, Chris Mannerds,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Laurentie McCrae, Andrew Norwell, Levisco Chanel, Jordan's Smith, J two Felli,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: johad Ward Damien Wilson, Travis Eton Jr. Is also on
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the list, but obviously he's on I R. There's a
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: practice squad player on the list on the practice squad,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: So do you have it? That's twenty? Not to mention that,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I guess what these players are around other folks in
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the building too. There's a lot going on right now.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: So so you have twenty and uh, just give people
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: an idea of numbers. Okay, that's a fifty three active rosters.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: You got twenty. Out of fifty three, you have sixteen
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: on your practice squad, which are all eligible to be
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: elevated for a COVID emergency. So as of right now,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: you've got sixteen potential to take care of twenty, But
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you have enough to take care
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: of every position. So that's gonna be a challenging situation
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: because on that list you have an inordinate amount of
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: tight ends and then also outside linebackers. So that's a
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: that's a major concern. Like if you had, you know,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: kind of if it will sprinkled around your roster, you'd
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: be like, Okay, we can, we can weather the storm.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: We got a guy we can. You know, because typically
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: on your practice squad, if you look at the makeup
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: of most teams practice squad, you have you know, a
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: couple offensive lineman, a couple of defensive lineman, you got
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: a cornerback, you got a safety, you got pretty much
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: a the the the the entire mini sample of position
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: groups on the practice squad. And but when you have
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: a position that's been hard hit, like tight end and
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the outside linebacker, it might be difficult to recover and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: to the point where you're gonna bring guys onto your
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: roster from elsewhere, which they did a little bit of
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: that today. They started in that department. At least they
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: signed from the Buffalo practice squad call Holliday wearing tight
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: end um and then a defensive end and outside linebacker
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: to the practice squad. Hercules Matafa about that, well, I
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: mean that's I think I got a close. We got
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: a week to figure it out, so that that's where
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: they are. And well, then we'll see as the days
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: move ahead. If the vaccinated players get two negative tests,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: they can be on the same day, they can be
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: at the same time. But if they're two separate tests
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: they come back negative, then they're cleared. But the practice
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: starts tomorrow to get ready for the game. Yeah, and
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: here here's the hard part is that you don't know
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: if they're going to clear. I mean, so you have
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: to prepare as if none of these guys are gonna clear.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: And so from a roster management standpoint, it's not like,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: for example, let's say, okay, you got how many did
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: you say on COVID now from the active roster? Eighteen? Okay,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: so he got eighteen. He got sixteen guys on the
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: practice squad. Well, if if you want to add somebody
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: the active roster, do you have to cut somebody or
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: does on the COVID list If they're on, they don't
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: count and then they come back, you gotta get rid
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: of that. I mean, it's just mean, how are how
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: are they going to do that? I mean, here's the thing.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, every team, every team has fifty three plus
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: sixteen plus however many that they have on injured reserve.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean, so where are they getting
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: some of these other guys from. It's just because if
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: they're on the street right now, and they've been on
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: the street for a while. The Saints last night had
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: a tackle come in the game that had not played
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: in the game since and was signed a couple of
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: days in the week, a couple of days beforehand. Yeah,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: it's a it's gonna be interesting to see how they
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: handle this. And and this is where you're your personnel.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Guys really have to to earn their keep, so to speech,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: because that's you gotta have a rollodex. It's pretty deep.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: And that's I think that's obviously changed dramatically. I mean
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: in the past, you know, if you were thinking about
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: bringing a guy onto your roster, you bring him in,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: have him, you know, work out. And now you're you're
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: bringing guys on, signing guys side unseen just because you
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: need to. You need a body, you need to be
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: able to play game, and you might end up having
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: the situation where as offensive coordinator. Okay, well, let's say
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: the tight end group is banged up. Guess what we're
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: playing three wide baby, three two backs or uh, you
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: tell one of your backup offensive lineman study the tight
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: end book because you're playing tight end this week. Walker
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: little did go out by the way, which he got
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: no separation whatsoever. I'd be curious. I thought about this yesterday.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: What was the last time in the NFL game had
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: two different touchdowns by offensive I don't think it's ever happened,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: has it? I don't know. I have to that's a
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: research project. I don't know if that's ever happened. And
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: there's another one in the league. Yesterday to Lane Johnson
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: scored right right and and and I know that, uh,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: A lot of his teammates were happy for him because
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: he had some mental issues that he was kind of
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: attending to this year and and all that kind of stuff.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm good for him. What offensive lineman in one
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: week score Every offensive lineman wants to catch a pass.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars tried to get it to Malcolm Brown last week,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: you know, in a little flat pass and or this
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: past week also against the Jets, and it didn't work out.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, I think it's all fine and
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: dandy and it's cute, but at the end of the day,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you know, their offensive lineman for reason, let's not get
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: carried away. Well Malcolm Brown by the way, by the way, macolm,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown got smoked. Playing fullback, Yes, you can go
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: out of the routes and such, but you still have
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: to block occasionally. And you got there. There was in
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: this play, uh, And I talked about it in our broadcast.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: And the Jets have a linebacker, Jared Davis. Where's number
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: fifty two, And if anybody wants to go back and
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: watch the TV copy or whatever copy that they can find.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown was coming downhill and he's a big, deep
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: sense of tackle and he weighs. He's listed at what
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: does he listed at JP like three somewhere in that right,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: and he's coming downhill and Jared Davis came downhill and
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: hit him under the chin and literally did the what
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: we call the dead roach in the air. He was
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: his back was parallel to the ground and he didn't
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: just get knocked down, he got knocked back and was
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: doing the flying dead roach in the air going backwards.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: And you can see him kind of laughing a little
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: bit going back to the sideline. Because here's the reality.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: If you haven't gotten your rear end kicked in the
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League, then you have not played
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: long enough. I can assure you of that. And Malcolm
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Brown got he got crushed. So if you go on
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Pete Prisco's Twitter about five tweets down, he's got it.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: He's got it up, and it's uh lights him up
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: for sure. I felt that one. Let's take a look
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: at the a f C South standings and yes, it
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: is still a division race. Tennessee can clinch it with
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: a win this week though ten and five record Indy
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: at nine and six, but there without the quarterback Carson
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Wentz Houston four and eleven, they're on a winning streak.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden they score how many points something
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: something ridiculous, Yeah, and then the Jaguars are two and thirteen.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Now Tennessee, I mean, what a great game that they
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: had against San Francisco. And Mike Vrabel tremendous job. He's
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: doing a really good job. And that's that's a kind
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: of thing you want to find here in Jacksonville, that
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: you know, that partnership between general manager, head coach that's
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: gonna work. And John Robinson and Mike Rabel seemed to
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: have really good chemistry. Mike Vrabel, I think is one
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: of one is the finest young game day coach that
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: there is in the National Football League. I really believe
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: that what you mean by that, just as far as
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: handling personnel, handling the roster, handling game situations, the time
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: out's intentional penalties. UM, I don't want to and I'm
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: not trying to say that he is as good as Belichick,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: but he reminds me a little bit of Belichick just
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: while he played here. I don't understand about it. He
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: just reminds me because there's there's very few details that
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: he's not prepared for in a game. And that's impressive.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: And that's what you wanted to coach. By the way,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: put that down as like item number five thousand on
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the list of traits that you wanted to head coach,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the long list, and the Jaguars are going through that,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I would guess as we speak, coming up in about
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: a minute, the Jaguars coaches show. Well here from interim
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: head coach Darryl Bevil, I'm curious what he has to
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: say about all this COVID nineteen stuff. I mean, this
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: is just turn the organization upside down. Within the last week,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: since we last spoke on last Tuesday, Yea, it all changed.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: It's definitely changed. And uh, you know when you when
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: you sign up to be a head coach in the
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: National Football League, you know you know that you're gonna
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: have issues to deal with, right man, But all these
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: issues as an neuim coach, it's a lot. Wow. I
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: hope they gave him hazard take. I mean, it's he's
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: earning it, that's for sure. I'll say that. Jaguars trying
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: to get it done this week in Foxboro. Coming up
