- 0:03Speaker 1: I saw Caleb and Jayshunt as having taken a big

- 0:27Speaker 1: Jaguars Reporters. Today is Thursday, September sixteenth, JP Shadrick, John
- 0:32Speaker 1: Osier and Brian sex Cello. Hello, Ashton Sullivan will be
- 0:37Speaker 1: back with us another time and the Jaguars host the
- 0:40Speaker 1: Denver Broncos this Sunday. In Week two, the game presented
- 0:43Speaker 1: by t I A Bank turn potential into progress. Well,
- 0:47Speaker 1: the Jaguars need some progress and a lot of different
- 0:50Speaker 1: ways going from week one to week to John certainly
- 0:53Speaker 1: I will start on the offensive side. We've talked about
- 0:55Speaker 1: it all week on these shows. You can't hurt yourself,
- 0:58Speaker 1: you can't get behind the stick with holding. Penalties are
- 1:02Speaker 1: one thing, but when it's substitution and lining up wrong
- 1:05Speaker 1: and then and Herbant Mayer has been harping on that
- 1:07Speaker 1: all week. I'm tired of saying it. I'm sure the
- 1:10Speaker 1: fans are tired of hearing about it. I know the
- 1:13Speaker 1: players must be tired of hearing about it because that's
- 1:15Speaker 1: all they've heard. And you know, I can't imagine that
- 1:18Speaker 1: hasn't been point one, two and three when the coaches
- 1:20Speaker 1: talked to him. So you know, four pre snap four
- 1:25Speaker 1: holds seven got declined, but the result was also two
- 1:28Speaker 1: time outs. I I don't know how good the team
- 1:34Speaker 1: is yet because we haven't seen him be able to function.
- 1:37Speaker 1: So don't do that again. I'm not trying to be
- 1:42Speaker 1: snyed about it, but this is basic football stuff. Get
- 1:45Speaker 1: lined up, get to second and six, and then see
- 1:49Speaker 1: how the quarterback does. I'll bet if he's in second
- 1:51Speaker 1: six all day, you don't see three picks. You know
- 1:53Speaker 1: what what's on Saturday afternoon this this week Oklahoma versus
- 1:59Speaker 1: Near right, it is the classic run the ball, stop
- 2:03Speaker 1: the run series. Um So, in the spirit of that,
- 2:07Speaker 1: I say, don't throw the ball at all, right, I mean,
- 2:10Speaker 1: using absurdity made my point. If you want to be
- 2:13Speaker 1: able to function at a higher level, you have to
- 2:17Speaker 1: start with the running game. You talk about beating it
- 2:19Speaker 1: into the ground. I mean, I've been talking about the
- 2:21Speaker 1: running games, so much people like you know they have.
- 2:22Speaker 1: The quarterback was number one overall, but it doesn't matter
- 2:25Speaker 1: if he's back there throwing the ball fifty one times
- 2:28Speaker 1: a game. This Denver defense is built to play the past.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Von Miller, Bradley Chubb upfront, screaming off the edge with
- 2:37Speaker 1: Patrick Sir Tan the top twenty pick Pop, top ten
- 2:39Speaker 1: pick um and uh Justin Simmons and Kyle Fuller. I mean,
- 2:46Speaker 1: you're asking the kid to play to their strength instead
- 2:49Speaker 1: of playing to the Jaguars strength. Run the ball. I
- 2:52Speaker 1: love those old local Holmea, Nebraska games. I'm not saying
- 2:55Speaker 1: run the witch bone, but please run it and run
- 2:57Speaker 1: it and run it and don't worry about punting, and
- 2:59Speaker 1: then run it and run it and run it some more. Eventually,
- 3:02Speaker 1: this team with this quarterback will be a throw it
- 3:05Speaker 1: all over the yard team. But they're not there yet.
- 3:09Speaker 1: We started signing in trouble. I'd love it around here, um,
- 3:14Speaker 1: you know, and talking to a j Can this week
- 3:16Speaker 1: in an interview that will air actually on social media
- 3:18Speaker 1: coming up here in a little bit and on the
- 3:21Speaker 1: Public Tailgate show on Sunday, they know it too. I
- 3:24Speaker 1: mean they know what the strength of this offense should
- 3:28Speaker 1: be to help out against that pass rush. It's to
- 3:30Speaker 1: run the football. That's what an offensive line. At least
- 3:34Speaker 1: this group feels like they are best at They were
- 3:36Speaker 1: good at it last year, and everybody knew they were
- 3:37Speaker 1: going to run, and they feel like they can do
- 3:41Speaker 1: that if they just eliminate some of the pre snap stuff.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I thought they were that thirteen yard run that was
- 3:47Speaker 1: called back with Brandon Lender's holding penalty. I saw that
- 3:50Speaker 1: and went, Okay, they are going to be able to
- 3:51Speaker 1: run the ball today. Not because of thirteen yards, but
- 3:54Speaker 1: because of the blocks the way that they had it
- 3:56Speaker 1: set up. I thought, just keep running the ball. This
- 3:58Speaker 1: is gonna go great, and they wanted to do, but
- 4:00Speaker 1: they get in situation. Yeah, but after the two holding
- 4:03Speaker 1: penalties on that first drive, they just stopped running right
- 4:06Speaker 1: and then of course they got behind. Well, but they
- 4:09Speaker 1: weren't that behind in the first quarter. They weren't so
- 4:11Speaker 1: far behind, you know, but until the end of the
- 4:14Speaker 1: first half that they had to completely abandon the run.
- 4:16Speaker 1: What they run the ball four or five times in
- 4:18Speaker 1: the first half, you gotta do more than that. Now,
- 4:20Speaker 1: to Trevor's point, a couple of those throws earlier screens.
- 4:22Speaker 1: So that's almost like an extension of the run. It's
- 4:25Speaker 1: not I get it, but you know, I don't think
- 4:28Speaker 1: they wanted to get away from it because I did
- 4:31Speaker 1: the same thing. Ever, did I flew back on on
- 4:34Speaker 1: Sunday night thing, why didn't they run? And then when
- 4:36Speaker 1: I rewatched the game that night into the second quarter,
- 4:39Speaker 1: they did have a drive. I think they ran Street
- 4:41Speaker 1: three straight times. They were trying to get to it,
- 4:43Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden the game got away
- 4:45Speaker 1: from him. So I definitely think they're going to try
- 4:47Speaker 1: to run. But if they get down seventeen seven, and
- 4:52Speaker 1: if they've if they've already had seven penalties at that point,
- 4:59Speaker 1: then the stats are gonn the saying, and then so
- 5:03Speaker 1: keep running. With all those throws, fifty one of them,
- 5:07Speaker 1: we've counted them all week long. Twelve targets were to
- 5:11Speaker 1: DJ Chark. He had three catches in the game, and
- 5:14Speaker 1: you know some of those were just kind of mis throws, misfires.
- 5:17Speaker 1: A couple of drops were in there too, A lot
- 5:21Speaker 1: of that. Just listening to the mannings, your your guys,
- 5:24Speaker 1: John are one of your guys on Monday Night talk
- 5:27Speaker 1: through It. Peyton said that during training camp. I want
- 5:31Speaker 1: my receivers on the field. That's the time we get
- 5:34Speaker 1: in the lab and do it. And DJ just wasn't
- 5:36Speaker 1: available a lot of training camp. But I think that
- 5:38Speaker 1: might have been a little bit. Maybe it's not all
- 5:40Speaker 1: his fault because of the things that happened in the game,
- 5:42Speaker 1: but it just didn't feel right last week. Well, he's
- 5:46Speaker 1: the natural guy for twelve targets, because you heard Urban
- 5:48Speaker 1: Meyer before the Houston Games say, I I don't want
- 5:51Speaker 1: to be a part of a team that doesn't have
- 5:52Speaker 1: any speed. He's the legitimate speed they have on the field,
- 5:56Speaker 1: So trying to uncork that makes a lot of sense. Um,
- 5:59Speaker 1: I Marvin Jones had plenty of targets. Uh. Lavisca is
- 6:04Speaker 1: working through his role. But this thing is it's I
- 6:09Speaker 1: know one of the other storylines was, well, why did
- 6:11Speaker 1: you take somebody snaps away from Gardner Minshew or from
- 6:14Speaker 1: this kid and give him to Gardner Minshew. I think
- 6:16Speaker 1: all of that plays out. They just need more time
- 6:19Speaker 1: on task and you're limited to how much you can
- 6:20Speaker 1: work during the week. Yeah, it's Uh. I expect him
- 6:24Speaker 1: to keep feeding Shark because I still think he's their
- 6:26Speaker 1: best receiver. Uh. And when you have fitty one passes,
- 6:29Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of targets going around. Um,
- 6:32Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that they solve their speed
- 6:35Speaker 1: issue this year. I don't know where you find speed
- 6:37Speaker 1: if it's not really on the team. Uh So again,
- 6:43Speaker 1: part of what we talked about at the top of
- 6:45Speaker 1: the show, the errors include drops in that. You know,
- 6:49Speaker 1: we've talked a little bit this week about when plays
- 6:52Speaker 1: are there to be made defensively offensively. Drops are a
- 6:56Speaker 1: big part of that. Stop doing things that hurt yourself
- 7:02Speaker 1: and give yourself a chance to be in the football game.
- 7:05Speaker 1: They didn't do that at all week one. Now, having
- 7:07Speaker 1: said that, after the game, Urban said everyone needs to relax.
- 7:11Speaker 1: He will not relax. Calm down. I thought he had
- 7:14Speaker 1: it right the first time. Everyone just relax a little bit.
- 7:16Speaker 1: If he comes back here and I don't know whether
- 7:18Speaker 1: he will or won't or did or didn't and just
- 7:21Speaker 1: hammers his team, which we've all seen that a new
- 7:25Speaker 1: any good. This is still a work in progress. This
- 7:29Speaker 1: is going to take time, not desperation. Come back, guys,
- 7:34Speaker 1: none of us have ever seen a quarter that bad.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Let's not have it again and then just do what
- 7:38Speaker 1: you do. But if you institute or install panic this
- 7:42Speaker 1: week by ramping up drills or changing something dramatic, then
- 7:47Speaker 1: you're telling your team, oh, we're not very good. Just
- 7:50Speaker 1: go do what you do again and keep doing it
- 7:52Speaker 1: and doing it and doing it over and over. Panic
- 7:54Speaker 1: won't help. Season. Tickets available for season. Come see the
- 7:59Speaker 1: new look Jaguars in person. The home opener this week
- 8:03Speaker 1: is the Broncos come to town. Visit Jaguars dot Com
- 8:05Speaker 1: or calling nine O four six three three two thousand.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Not at the Jaguars defense. And last week this group
- 8:12Speaker 1: gave up six plays of twenty and more yards. Tyrod
- 8:15Speaker 1: Taylor got out of a few different sacks. They couldn't
- 8:17Speaker 1: keep him contain. That was a storyline going in. This
- 8:21Speaker 1: one has a different feel. With Teddy Bridgewater back there,
- 8:25Speaker 1: He's not going to be as mobile as Tyrod you know,
- 8:28Speaker 1: could be. That's just not the way they he plays anymore.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Maybe in the early days before he heard his knee,
- 8:35Speaker 1: but not quite that. They can run the football, They've
- 8:37Speaker 1: got a tight end, they've got some receivers, but they're
- 8:40Speaker 1: they're Jerry Judy's out. That's a big loss for them.
- 8:43Speaker 1: But it just doesn't feel like this offense. John is
- 8:46Speaker 1: going to be super flashy with bells and whistles everywhere
- 8:49Speaker 1: in Denver. That's not what Vic Fangio wants and manage
- 8:52Speaker 1: it and let Bridgewater distribute. But he's got some talent around.
- 8:56Speaker 1: I mean, even without Judy, there are guys on this
- 8:59Speaker 1: offense who can make plays. I I guess I still
- 9:03Speaker 1: go back to what we talked about Offensively. Defensively, Cavan
- 9:08Speaker 1: Chason has a chance to get two sacks last week, didn't.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I should go Griffin had chance to make an interception, didn't.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Wishn Jenkins had a chance to get interception. Didn't. Uh,
- 9:17Speaker 1: that's too many didn't. When urban Meyer talks about very
- 9:21Speaker 1: little margin for error, those are the things he means.
- 9:24Speaker 1: We've all been around the NFL long enough to know
- 9:26Speaker 1: there's only a handful of plays a game that defensive
- 9:30Speaker 1: players get a chance to make. When you leave them
- 9:32Speaker 1: all on the field, you you almost, by definition, when
- 9:36Speaker 1: that happens, give the opponent a first down. Well, if
- 9:40Speaker 1: you give away four first downs, you're extending four drives.
- 9:43Speaker 1: If that happens once a quarter, that flips the quarter.
- 9:46Speaker 1: These games are too close to not take advantage of
- 9:50Speaker 1: those plays When the plays are there to be made.
- 9:53Speaker 1: This team has to make him. I don't know if
- 9:55Speaker 1: that's because the players aren't good enough. Well, let me inject,
- 9:58Speaker 1: they just have to make them. Yeah, little bit of
- 10:00Speaker 1: optimism here, I see. I saw Caleb and Jason as
- 10:03Speaker 1: having taken a big step forward. I thought he was
- 10:05Speaker 1: much more impactful than he was last year. Of course,
- 10:09Speaker 1: he was coming on strong when last season ended. I
- 10:11Speaker 1: think the scheme fits him. I think Joe Colin from
- 10:14Speaker 1: his time in Baltimore was exactly how to use him.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And no, he was at the point of attack and
- 10:18Speaker 1: he didn't make the play and Tyrod Taylor made him
- 10:20Speaker 1: look foolish. It spun around a couple of times. But
- 10:22Speaker 1: you know, if he can do that, if he could
- 10:25Speaker 1: just get into the backfield and create enough havoc, offensive
- 10:28Speaker 1: coordinators an offensive lineman are gonna have to account for him,
- 10:31Speaker 1: which means that Josh Allen is going to have another
- 10:32Speaker 1: opportunity one on one eventually. I like what I saw
- 10:37Speaker 1: from Caleb and Jason. I want to see Cisco in
- 10:40Speaker 1: the lineup because he was a ball hawk. And I
- 10:42Speaker 1: go back to the fifty two yard play where Jason
- 10:45Speaker 1: got spun around. I think if Cisco is on the field,
- 10:48Speaker 1: he makes a play on the ball, because that's what
- 10:49Speaker 1: he did at Syracuse. He had thirteen takeaways in two
- 10:52Speaker 1: years as a starter. Think about that. That's an epic number.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Thirteen takeaways in two years as a starter. Um, I've
- 11:00Speaker 1: got some players, and I think the defensive side in
- 11:02Speaker 1: in particular, we will see more progress more quickly. Yeah.
- 11:07Speaker 1: And it's all this new and bells and whistles and
- 11:09Speaker 1: blizzes and pressures and packages. It's a lot of coming
- 11:13Speaker 1: and going and you just got the same thing time
- 11:15Speaker 1: on task where you're out there doing it than the
- 11:17Speaker 1: easier and better I think it will look in time.
- 11:19Speaker 1: They were better against the run than the numbers said.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I mean, when you're throwing the ball fifty one times,
- 11:24Speaker 1: it means the other team is leading so much. All
- 11:26Speaker 1: they're doing is running. You're throwing their running. Well, I mean,
- 11:30Speaker 1: how how long are you gonna hold up when it's
- 11:31Speaker 1: just two tight ends and pound the ball? They had
- 11:33Speaker 1: three tight ends. Houston kept three tight ends, just pound
- 11:36Speaker 1: and pound a pound and then eventually the quarterback gets
- 11:39Speaker 1: loose for a long run and it makes you look horrible.
- 11:41Speaker 1: But they held the running backs to below what three
- 11:43Speaker 1: point five yards per carry UM. That wasn't a great group.
- 11:47Speaker 1: They'll be tested this week with these runners. I think
- 11:50Speaker 1: they'll be better against the run this week. Well they're
- 11:54Speaker 1: gonna have to because they got tested. UM. They need
- 11:58Speaker 1: to be as good against the run as they were
- 12:00Speaker 1: on Sunday, and then when the ball is in the air,
- 12:04Speaker 1: they need to make the play on it. That's it.
- 12:07Speaker 1: More than anything. They need to be good against the
- 12:09Speaker 1: run because they need to be able to get Josh, Allen,
- 12:11Speaker 1: Caleb and Jason in a position to make sacks. And
- 12:14Speaker 1: if you do that, Bridgewater can be forced into mistakes.
- 12:17Speaker 1: It's not his m oh if you pressure him, he
- 12:19Speaker 1: can be forced. That's that's the rub the defense. The
- 12:22Speaker 1: secondary did not make plays on the ball, and you
- 12:24Speaker 1: keep people are walking around it. When you listen to
- 12:26Speaker 1: coaches talk as I talk about making plays on the
- 12:28Speaker 1: ball in the air, Well, that's the secondary, right you
- 12:30Speaker 1: paid Shack Griffin. He didn't make the play at the point.
- 12:33Speaker 1: I didn't think he had a great game. Ray Sean
- 12:35Speaker 1: Jenkins made that mistake. I mean, break it up. Break
- 12:40Speaker 1: it up, it's more important or take it away one
- 12:42Speaker 1: or the other. Extandi rumps take it away. The secondary
- 12:45Speaker 1: has to play better. Tyson Campbell is a guy that
- 12:47Speaker 1: they're putting a lot of pressure on and he's that long,
- 12:50Speaker 1: good looking athlete from Georgia. Someone's got to coach him
- 12:53Speaker 1: and how to make you play. Shack Griffin talked about
- 12:54Speaker 1: it this week. I did like C. J. Henderson. He
- 12:58Speaker 1: made a couple of plays that maybe that's why they
- 13:00Speaker 1: drafted the night to overall. More him, please, more of him,
- 13:03Speaker 1: got to be consistent. All right. That'll do it for
- 13:06Speaker 1: Jaguars Reporters today. Looking forward to the Broncos Jaguars game
