Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, November. This is Jeff laws Happy Hour. And
0:10
Speaker 1: now a guy who refuses to play on the road
0:12
Speaker 1: at j P flat flat out and won't do it,
0:20
Speaker 1: in fact, made the league change it. We'll get to
0:23
Speaker 1: that coming up. Welcome in. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. I'm
0:26
Speaker 1: j P. Shadrick. We've got a busy couple hours ahead.
0:30
Speaker 1: Well on this program every Tuesday, it's Jaguars Analyst Jeff
0:34
Speaker 1: Lockhaman he's coming up. We'll recap for the final time.
0:38
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, Week eleven, forty Niners over the Jaguars thirty
0:43
Speaker 1: to ten. It didn't feel like it was even that close.
0:46
Speaker 1: Looking ahead of Week eleven, the Falcons are coming to
0:50
Speaker 1: town to face the Jaguars. Two teams um let's say,
0:55
Speaker 1: struggling offensively. The Umber Meyers Show coming up at five
0:58
Speaker 1: o'clock on the Jaguars Radio Network today as well. It's
1:02
Speaker 1: a lot to get to. Let's start with San Francisco
1:06
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. The forty Niners at thirty to ten winner.
1:09
Speaker 1: The Jags defense couldn't get off the field early. That
1:12
Speaker 1: thirteen minute drive plus some twenty play drive for the
1:16
Speaker 1: forty Niners. They finished it with a field goal. Things
1:19
Speaker 1: could have been okay, and the Jags moved on offense.
1:22
Speaker 1: They went three and out. San Franz scored the touchdown
1:24
Speaker 1: to make it tend nothing. Okay, not too bad, it's early,
1:28
Speaker 1: still kind of into the second quarter. Fumble in the
1:31
Speaker 1: next place, seventeen nothing san fran and they couldn't get
1:34
Speaker 1: out of the hole early in the game. Injuries piled
1:37
Speaker 1: up in the second half. Urban Meyer on Monday, coming
1:40
Speaker 1: off the loss. That's been more than that has been
1:44
Speaker 1: four weeks actually ever since the I thought Miami, there's
1:47
Speaker 1: a lot of promised, a lot of good things being done.
1:49
Speaker 1: Before that, I saw steady improvement, and you're correct, you know.
1:53
Speaker 1: I think when when h James got do you know,
1:57
Speaker 1: if you remember, already had two big runs in the
1:59
Speaker 1: Seattle game and it comes out. So I don't want
2:01
Speaker 1: to put it all on him because he's obviously very
2:03
Speaker 1: valuable member, But whenever someone goes down, someone else has
2:07
Speaker 1: to pick up that flag and go harder. And we're
2:09
Speaker 1: not getting that right now, and so um yeah, I
2:14
Speaker 1: think whenever things aren't, you know, on defense, I commend
2:17
Speaker 1: our staff. I met with our staff many times and
2:20
Speaker 1: we adjusted adapted to our personnel and we're playing better,
2:23
Speaker 1: you know, even yesterday. You know, there's three sacks on
2:27
Speaker 1: that first drive, I believe, and two of them were
2:29
Speaker 1: negated because the penalty offside and a hold um. But
2:34
Speaker 1: I liked the way our defense. You know, when you
2:36
Speaker 1: say you give up that many points, you know there's
2:38
Speaker 1: to me that was when you have a twenty play drive,
2:40
Speaker 1: you hold them to three points and had three sacks
2:43
Speaker 1: in that drive and the extended by penalties. I consider
2:46
Speaker 1: that a win. But then we thirty seconds later the
2:48
Speaker 1: defense is back on the field, and then thirty seconds
2:51
Speaker 1: again later they're back because of fumble. So everybody's got
2:54
Speaker 1: to hold up. The end of the bargain didn't work
2:57
Speaker 1: out for the Jags obviously this past week. They got
2:59
Speaker 1: only two hundred yards of offense for the day, turned
3:02
Speaker 1: the ball over a couple of times. The time of
3:05
Speaker 1: possession in the of all game was just well in
3:08
Speaker 1: favor of San Francisco. Thirty eight minutes, twenty two seconds.
3:12
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockman joining US now Jaguars analyst. Good afternoon to
3:16
Speaker 1: your Jeff, Good afternoon or final look at the San
3:19
Speaker 1: Franz Jacksonville game, and you know, going back and talking
3:23
Speaker 1: about it last night with Basselli and Prisco. They both
3:26
Speaker 1: watched the tape and they were like, boy, this doesn't
3:31
Speaker 1: watch the watches the tape. Apparently you can watch the tape,
3:34
Speaker 1: but it's like it's like trying to read Greek. Doesn't
3:38
Speaker 1: have the qualification to watch the tape. Whatever language it's in.
3:42
Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty. I'll say that just I'm just I'm
3:45
Speaker 1: just taking a little shot at my good friend Pete. Right,
3:48
Speaker 1: it's all good, yeah, heat, No, Look it wasn't very good,
3:52
Speaker 1: and uh, Pete could see that. A lot of the
3:55
Speaker 1: people could see that. Offensively, the teams continues to struggle.
3:58
Speaker 1: You know, it's now forty three points in four games,
4:01
Speaker 1: and that's just not good enough. And you can't win
4:03
Speaker 1: football games when you're you know, here's the reality. Seven
4:06
Speaker 1: of the ten points that they scored against the forty
4:07
Speaker 1: niners was was garbage time. And you know what, like
4:11
Speaker 1: even the last month, the four touchdowns they've scored have
4:14
Speaker 1: all been garbage, They've all been garbage time. I Mean,
4:16
Speaker 1: this offense right now is in a funk, I mean
4:19
Speaker 1: a big funk. And the problem with being in the
4:22
Speaker 1: funk is is that you know, typically get out of
4:24
Speaker 1: it with you. You go back to what your core is,
4:27
Speaker 1: and your core is with your offensive line and James Robinson. Okay, well,
4:32
Speaker 1: James Robinson is not a hundred percent healthy. But here's
4:35
Speaker 1: the reality. James Robinson not a hundred percent healthy, is
4:38
Speaker 1: still better then Carlos Hide healthy. That's reality. So you
4:44
Speaker 1: have to still play James Robinson. I mean, in the
4:47
Speaker 1: perfect world, you'd like say, hey, look, let's just give
4:49
Speaker 1: James Robinson a week off because then he'll get back
4:52
Speaker 1: to full speed and he'll be Okay. Well, no, that
4:55
Speaker 1: might not be the case. It might not be he
4:58
Speaker 1: might not be healthy all year even if you give
5:00
Speaker 1: him a week or two off. So here's gonna He's
5:03
Speaker 1: got to be the challenge moving ahead. These defenses and
5:06
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators and opposing coaches. Now, no, obviously, if you
5:10
Speaker 1: turn on the tape the last month that Jaguars receivers
5:15
Speaker 1: are having some issues getting open consistently, I think that's
5:18
Speaker 1: a nice way to say. I think now it's not
5:21
Speaker 1: all on the receivers. Now that it's I think that's receivers,
5:24
Speaker 1: and I think the coaches have scheme better. But my
5:26
Speaker 1: point is, then you can bring extra guys in to
5:29
Speaker 1: defend the run, because if that's what they're going to
5:32
Speaker 1: lean on the Jaguars, that's that's that you tell you
5:35
Speaker 1: this the in the last couple of games, specifically, if
5:40
Speaker 1: you if you looked at and you analyze the Colts
5:42
Speaker 1: in the forty niners, and what are they not afraid
5:44
Speaker 1: to do? They're not afraid to play the Jaguars. And man,
5:47
Speaker 1: there's nobody that scares you, seriously, I mean, especially with
5:51
Speaker 1: Agnew out now JP. Even with Agnew even when he
5:54
Speaker 1: was in there, how many drops did he have? Big time?
5:58
Speaker 1: I mean, so if you can't catch the ball consistently,
6:01
Speaker 1: are you a legitimate even if you're open? No, good point. No,
6:06
Speaker 1: But he's an explosive player and he's one that gets
6:09
Speaker 1: better separation than everybody else. So when your biggest threat
6:14
Speaker 1: is still not even something that would make a defensive
6:17
Speaker 1: coordinator worrisome, that's a bit of an issue. And uh
6:22
Speaker 1: so it is what it is. I mean, they they
6:26
Speaker 1: had a couple of guys that they were going to
6:27
Speaker 1: be counting on d J HRC and obviously Travis E.
6:31
Speaker 1: T N. But you know what that happens to every
6:33
Speaker 1: team in the league. I mean every team in the
6:36
Speaker 1: league has to deal with some change in the lineup
6:39
Speaker 1: to where they don't have somebody that they were expecting.
6:43
Speaker 1: So should they sit there and go woes me. No,
6:46
Speaker 1: I mean that's just part of life in the NFL.
6:49
Speaker 1: And so you just got to do a better job
6:51
Speaker 1: of coaching up the ones you got and then the
6:53
Speaker 1: guys are that are gonna play and you got to
6:56
Speaker 1: do a better job of scheming them up. I mean,
6:58
Speaker 1: that's just what you have to do. That's the end
7:00
Speaker 1: season part of it. Now, the offseason organizational big picture
7:04
Speaker 1: look is you better stock the pantry a little bit
7:06
Speaker 1: better with jars and the shelf and get guys ready
7:09
Speaker 1: to roll. You know that takes a year or two
7:11
Speaker 1: a time to getting guys in here. That's the big
7:13
Speaker 1: picture look. But in the scheme of this season, in
7:15
Speaker 1: the scope of this season, you're right on it. I mean,
7:18
Speaker 1: they're kind of the point. Now it's week twelve coming up.
7:21
Speaker 1: I mean, think about during during training camp, you know
7:23
Speaker 1: you got you signed Tavin Austin right right, and and
7:27
Speaker 1: Tavin was signed kind of as an afterthought, but he
7:31
Speaker 1: came in immediately was like making plays on the field. Yeah,
7:34
Speaker 1: first get into round on the first day. Who is
7:36
Speaker 1: this guy? Okay, Wow, he's still got a little something. Okay, Um,
7:40
Speaker 1: have you had a wild moment with him yet this season?
7:42
Speaker 1: Not in a regular regular season. I mean I haven't
7:45
Speaker 1: seen one either, And I'm not trying to be critical
7:47
Speaker 1: of him, but my point is is that. Okay, and
7:49
Speaker 1: then you bring in John Brown. Well, John Brown you
7:53
Speaker 1: just got and now he was active. What about practice squad?
8:00
Speaker 1: So he was on the practice squall? No, no, no, no no,
8:01
Speaker 1: I'm asking what about your practice for the other guys?
8:04
Speaker 1: I mean, you got how many guys are practice squad
8:06
Speaker 1: that are wide receivers. Let's see Josh Hammond, Tim Jones,
8:09
Speaker 1: Jeff Cotton Jr. Three those are the three. Okay, You've
8:12
Speaker 1: got three guys on practice squad that or wide receivers. Okay, Um,
8:17
Speaker 1: can they play? I mean, I mean that's the point
8:21
Speaker 1: where you're at. And I'm not trying to be facetious.
8:24
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make a point is that you
8:25
Speaker 1: know that's where you're at right now, is that if
8:28
Speaker 1: you're not getting better with what you're doing and with
8:31
Speaker 1: the personnel that you're using and the play calls that
8:36
Speaker 1: you're using. So there's one of two things that you
8:38
Speaker 1: have to do. I mean, you can sit there and say, well,
8:41
Speaker 1: we're just gonna go back to work. Okay, that's fine
8:43
Speaker 1: and dandy, but at some point you have to change something.
8:48
Speaker 1: Is it changing personnel? Okay, that might be it. Take
8:52
Speaker 1: a look at the guys that are on practice squad? Okay.
8:54
Speaker 1: Another option might be called it differently, that might be it. Okay,
8:58
Speaker 1: I get a little different look, maybe a little diff
9:00
Speaker 1: from play calling. Um, maybe change up the way you prepare.
9:04
Speaker 1: I mean so that's because the old the definition of
9:09
Speaker 1: insanity is wide doing it over and over and expecting
9:12
Speaker 1: a different result. And uh. And I'm not saying you're
9:14
Speaker 1: at the point where you're just you know, you're going
9:16
Speaker 1: insane with Jaguars offense, but you're not getting the results
9:19
Speaker 1: that you want. I don't know, you might be going people,
9:24
Speaker 1: I'm not quite going insane yet, but it's getting close
9:26
Speaker 1: to that. To our look, you you need to look
9:28
Speaker 1: at doing something different. And uh and I'm sure that
9:31
Speaker 1: that has been and will be a major focus this
9:35
Speaker 1: week with with coaching. They didn't target Dan Arnold last week.
9:40
Speaker 1: He was the leading tell me why, Well, I'm gonna
9:43
Speaker 1: ask you why. And he was a leading target, leading receiver,
9:46
Speaker 1: leading yardage receiver since he arrived here and did not
9:50
Speaker 1: get an official target in the game. Um Urban said
9:54
Speaker 1: earlier this week, in fact yesterday, that kind of bracketed
9:57
Speaker 1: coverage on him some he is the leading receiver on
10:02
Speaker 1: the team. Again again, here, let me ask you this, Okay,
10:07
Speaker 1: you and I'm not saying that Dan Arnold is George Kittle.
10:11
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Dan Arnold is Travis Kelsey. But
10:17
Speaker 1: how do they continue to get the ball to those guys?
10:23
Speaker 1: Any answers, I don't know. You tell me, Okay, they
10:26
Speaker 1: scheme it up and they make sure the ball goes
10:29
Speaker 1: to him, because just feed it just for Yeah, you
10:32
Speaker 1: find a way, You find a way. And and I'm,
10:36
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not saying that Dan Harnold is
10:38
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey or George kell because he's not. But he
10:42
Speaker 1: is one of the best options that you have in
10:44
Speaker 1: your offense. And you know, we watched Gronkowski last night
10:48
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. Did you watch that game of it? Okay,
10:52
Speaker 1: um from what you saw, did you see some of
10:54
Speaker 1: the short throws to Gronkowski just kind of like almost
10:56
Speaker 1: like a run here he just runs down the fi
10:58
Speaker 1: four yards, turned around here, you go a little out
11:03
Speaker 1: right move the sticks. Boom. Yeah, what's wrong with doing
11:06
Speaker 1: some of that with Dan Or? I mean, so my
11:09
Speaker 1: point is that you've got to take a hard look
11:11
Speaker 1: at everything that you're doing from a personnel standpoint, from
11:14
Speaker 1: a plate calling standpoint, because you've got a young quarterback
11:16
Speaker 1: that you've got to develop and you've got to make
11:19
Speaker 1: things a little bit easier for him. I watched the
11:22
Speaker 1: Patriots last Thursday, as a lot of other people did,
11:26
Speaker 1: and Mac Jones was having a lot of open receivers
11:28
Speaker 1: to throw too. And are the new England Patriots skill
11:32
Speaker 1: position players that much better than the Jaguars? Were that
11:36
Speaker 1: much better than a lot of other people? I mean,
11:40
Speaker 1: maybe they're a little better. Yeah, probably okay, but but
11:42
Speaker 1: but the scheme and sell Jones right now. Look, they
11:48
Speaker 1: do a real good job with their offensive system, and
11:51
Speaker 1: they've done a really good job because they're completing in
11:53
Speaker 1: a rate of over I think it's the second best
11:55
Speaker 1: completion percentage in the National Football League. And you're doing
11:58
Speaker 1: that with the rookie quarterback. And you can argue that, Okay,
12:00
Speaker 1: a lot of that short is not pushing the ball
12:02
Speaker 1: down a lot, but it's it's successful. I'm okay, for
12:09
Speaker 1: years around here, he doesn't push the ball down the field, right,
12:13
Speaker 1: the problem. But when you're completing and winning games, that's different. Animal. Yeah.
12:18
Speaker 1: Then look they spent a ton of money in the
12:20
Speaker 1: off season. Okay. So I'm not trying to say I'm
12:23
Speaker 1: just My point is with that is that, look, you
12:26
Speaker 1: gotta find a way, and you gotta look at what
12:28
Speaker 1: you're doing. And you can't just sit there and continue
12:30
Speaker 1: to say, well, we gotta get back to work. Sometimes
12:33
Speaker 1: you gotta go, hey, look let's get back to work
12:35
Speaker 1: and look at what we're doing. You know, so maybe
12:37
Speaker 1: you can find a different answer or a different solution
12:40
Speaker 1: or another way of going about your business to maybe
12:43
Speaker 1: try to get something different happening. And so because if
12:47
Speaker 1: you keep, if you keep going out there with this,
12:49
Speaker 1: you know, with a young quarterback, I mean you want
12:50
Speaker 1: to talk about a quick way to a road and
12:52
Speaker 1: completely notify confidence. I mean, I mean, JP, if if
12:57
Speaker 1: if you're Trevor Lawrence, are you feeling very confident right now?
12:59
Speaker 1: I mean, considering everything that's happened the last month, it's
13:03
Speaker 1: it's waning. Yeah, yeah, looking and look I I know
13:07
Speaker 1: that he's built right mentally, he's built, and he's tough
13:09
Speaker 1: and and he can handle all this kind of stuff.
13:11
Speaker 1: But it's also this is uncharted water. What is he
13:15
Speaker 1: How many games did he lose in high school and
13:16
Speaker 1: college altogether? Two or three? Like three or four a handful? Right,
13:21
Speaker 1: it was like eight, six and four. So let's go, man,
13:26
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's see what happens. So um, but here's
13:32
Speaker 1: a good thing. Yes, Okay, I'm gonna put a little
13:34
Speaker 1: bit of break. We need to like bring this back
13:36
Speaker 1: up again, Yeah, bring up like you're playing a football
13:39
Speaker 1: team this week is not very good, right, but it
13:43
Speaker 1: is also a football team that is a game out
13:45
Speaker 1: of the NFC wild cardie that. Yeah, I know, but
13:48
Speaker 1: come on, I mean, let's be real. I'm just saying.
13:52
Speaker 1: I mean, they can be a game out of the
13:53
Speaker 1: wild card. But that's not because they're a good football team.
13:57
Speaker 1: They've been outscored sixty eight or three the last two weeks. Yes,
14:02
Speaker 1: and their offense is not very good. They don't run
14:06
Speaker 1: the ball very well. Their defense is not very good.
14:10
Speaker 1: They don't they don't score a lot of points offensively.
14:13
Speaker 1: They give up some points defensively. They don't stop the
14:16
Speaker 1: run very well. Uh, this is a team in the
14:20
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons are in a serious rebuild mode, a serious
14:25
Speaker 1: rebuild mode, and which they don't have the money. They
14:28
Speaker 1: don't have any money, and so they're gonna have to
14:31
Speaker 1: sit there and wait until the draft picks can heal them.
14:36
Speaker 1: And so there are ways out unless all of a
14:39
Speaker 1: sudden they get you know, hit on everything that they've had,
14:42
Speaker 1: which they hit on the tight end pits, but did
14:47
Speaker 1: they really hit on them? Were they a genius for
14:50
Speaker 1: analizing that? Or thirty two teams in the league had
14:53
Speaker 1: the young guy rated that high? If you're picking fourth,
14:57
Speaker 1: then he was there. But this is a game that
15:00
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have a good chance and and the Falcons
15:05
Speaker 1: are probably saying the exact same thing. There's no doubt
15:07
Speaker 1: about that. And you know, we talked about the Jaguars
15:10
Speaker 1: offensive scoring issues forty three points over the last four games.
15:14
Speaker 1: That's the exact number for the Atlanta Falcons as well
15:17
Speaker 1: over their last four games. Not at three points. Not good.
15:20
Speaker 1: Now they've got a veteran quarterback, Matt Ryan, which I've
15:23
Speaker 1: never been a big fan of Matt Ryan. I mean,
15:26
Speaker 1: me and Bosella used to argue about this all the time.
15:29
Speaker 1: He would tell me that Matt Ryan's a great quarterback,
15:31
Speaker 1: He's the franchise guy. And I'm sitting there gonna no,
15:33
Speaker 1: he's not pretty good. He's had a great career and
15:37
Speaker 1: he's three and old time against the Jaguars. He has
15:41
Speaker 1: been that he's had a great career. By the way,
15:44
Speaker 1: when I'm not trying to say that he stinks, that's
15:46
Speaker 1: not what I'm saying. I just if because our our argument,
15:51
Speaker 1: me and Tony that we used to have was was
15:53
Speaker 1: he a franchise guy that you would be happy with?
15:57
Speaker 1: And he was? He His argument was, yeah, Matt Ryan's
16:00
Speaker 1: a franchise guy. You can build around him, you can
16:02
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl with him. And my contention was,
16:05
Speaker 1: he's a really good quarterback. But I'm going to continue
16:10
Speaker 1: looking to find that guy that's special because I never
16:15
Speaker 1: felt that Matt Ryan was special and maybe I'm wrong. Well,
16:19
Speaker 1: they were looking a half away from winning that Super Bowl.
16:22
Speaker 1: There were maybe uh some play calls away from winning
16:26
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, a couple of runs running the ball. Hey,
16:30
Speaker 1: let's come back at Jaguar's defensive talk. What the heck happened?
16:33

18:22
Speaker 1: bit up for a minute there. That you said I
18:23
Speaker 1: was coming up at five o'clock, I was about you.
18:27
Speaker 1: You're gonna be here too, right, Yeah, I'm not going
18:29
Speaker 1: to anywhere, but I mean from it that I was
18:30
Speaker 1: kind of word like I was. I was supposed to
18:32
Speaker 1: be here until five. Oh, you can come whenever you want, man,
18:36
Speaker 1: I mean, this is your world. We're just living in it.
18:39
Speaker 1: And no, no, we're just here. Is all your world
18:41
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. I don't think I've ever seen, uh, college
18:46
Speaker 1: or pro a twenty play drive. First of all, a
18:49
Speaker 1: thirteen minute drive. Second of all, that's uh. In fact,
18:53
Speaker 1: it's the second longest drive by time and league history.
18:56
Speaker 1: I think it was the longest drive since like Evan,
19:01
Speaker 1: is that right? Yeah, the Oilers did it. I think, yeah,
19:04
Speaker 1: that's how long ago it was. I mean it was
19:08
Speaker 1: really the olders. Oh my goodness, yeah, yeah, that's were
19:12
Speaker 1: they in Tennessee. Ory. I sent you the text, and
19:16
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember exactly. I didn't really pay much attention.
19:19
Speaker 1: He was just I was looking at the date they
19:21
Speaker 1: were paying attention to the team. There were sixteen seconds
19:24
Speaker 1: off the league record. The Yeah, the the longest in
19:29
Speaker 1: the NFL, the at least the one that's happened longest
19:33
Speaker 1: since then was the Tennessee Oilers against the Dallas Cowboys.
19:38
Speaker 1: At that point, That's why I was wondering. Thirteen minutes,
19:41
Speaker 1: twenty seven seconds, So, I mean, you're seventeen or what.
19:47
Speaker 1: Here's the reality that drive doesn't happen for thirteen minutes
19:52
Speaker 1: if you don't commit penalties. What in the world was
19:55
Speaker 1: going on with those you got a hold on ray
19:57
Speaker 1: Sean on a third down, was it it? Yes, you
20:02
Speaker 1: had an all sides on Smoot on a third and four.
20:08
Speaker 1: Kalo that that's like defensive line one oh one. Okay,
20:14
Speaker 1: when it's third and less than five, you gotta hold
20:17
Speaker 1: your water and you better be ready for the hard count.
20:21
Speaker 1: That was one of those Oh. I can't believe they
20:24
Speaker 1: got me on that knuckle ahead. I'm sure Smoot was
20:29
Speaker 1: not happy with himself on that work. But you had
20:31
Speaker 1: those two penalties on that drive, and uh, they ended
20:35
Speaker 1: up converting a third and twelve. It was a third
20:37
Speaker 1: and twelve to Ayuk and I made a note of that,
20:41
Speaker 1: and uh. And then here's the reality they had. They
20:44
Speaker 1: had ten guys on the field for that little twenty
20:46
Speaker 1: yard field goal, and they ran the eleventh guy out there.
20:51
Speaker 1: If if the forty niners had had some awareness and
20:56
Speaker 1: noticed that there was a jaguar running onto the field
21:01
Speaker 1: and snapped the ball, it would have been half the
21:04
Speaker 1: distance to the goal, and it would have been in
21:06
Speaker 1: the first It would have been a first down. It
21:07
Speaker 1: would have been enough for a first down in the
21:09
Speaker 1: fort could have could have had a longer drive than
21:13
Speaker 1: what they had because that was one of three instances
21:17
Speaker 1: in that game to where they had ten guys on
21:21
Speaker 1: the field. That's still going on, man, and then wow,
21:27
Speaker 1: because you had all special teams or was it all
21:29
Speaker 1: over the place? He had to punt, which Logan Cook
21:32
Speaker 1: was daydreaming on the sideline with the helmet in his hand,
21:35
Speaker 1: and I'm looking down at him, going he doesn't realize
21:37
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be out there, and then all of
21:40
Speaker 1: a sudden he realizes it because wingered the personal protector.
21:45
Speaker 1: He's not ready to He's down, he's ready, said, and
21:49
Speaker 1: he turns around to make sure that it's okay to say,
21:52
Speaker 1: you know, said hike or whatever. You know, the personal
21:55
Speaker 1: protector tells the center that it's okay to snap. Either
21:58
Speaker 1: that of the center was turned around look at a
22:00
Speaker 1: wing or going dude, what are you doing? We got
22:02
Speaker 1: no punter? We turned around and looks puts his hands
22:05
Speaker 1: up in the air like, okay, where's our punter? Little
22:10
Speaker 1: help here, and that's when Logan I'm looking down at him,
22:12
Speaker 1: and I have not said a word. I'm just watching
22:15
Speaker 1: this kind of unfold. I looked down and I wanted
22:19
Speaker 1: to see what Logan was gonna do when he realized
22:21
Speaker 1: that he is the punter and he's not on the field,
22:25
Speaker 1: and as I'm looking down, he was like, oh oh,
22:29
Speaker 1: runs out on the field and he's throwing a helmet
22:31
Speaker 1: on top of his head, trying to buckle the chin
22:33
Speaker 1: strap and avoid the necessity to use the time out.
22:37
Speaker 1: But it was too late time out. But shouldn't he
22:42
Speaker 1: use the time out? You're at midfield? Just take the
22:45
Speaker 1: delay of game. I mean, just take the delay of game.
22:49
Speaker 1: I mean it's two on special teams that they had. Okay,
22:53
Speaker 1: goal line, goal line Jaguars were on goal line defense,
22:58
Speaker 1: forty niners coming to and then there goes somebody running
23:02
Speaker 1: on the field to be the eleventh guy and got
23:05
Speaker 1: there in time. But uh, I mean, come on now,
23:09
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this week twelve, week eleven. It's
23:12
Speaker 1: week eleven. You got ten games. You had to buy
23:14
Speaker 1: weeks week eleven, you know, okay, week one maybe, And
23:18
Speaker 1: and here's the thing. The last two weeks, the Buffalo game,
23:22
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis game, I mean, you were pretty clean for
23:25
Speaker 1: the most part. About personnel substitutions alignment, and when you're
23:30
Speaker 1: when you're clean on your your substitutions alignment, et cetera,
23:34
Speaker 1: it allows you to be cleaner and to play faster
23:36
Speaker 1: as a defense. When you are having substitution issues and
23:42
Speaker 1: you're trying to get guys lined up, the focus is
23:45
Speaker 1: about getting guys lined up, and oh, my gosh, I'm
23:50
Speaker 1: worried about JP jps behind his Mike Joe. He's not
23:52
Speaker 1: behind his Michael, my gosh, instead of me thinking about
23:55
Speaker 1: what my job is looking at and what I am
23:58
Speaker 1: looking exactly and looking out what I'm supposed to be
24:01
Speaker 1: paying attention to. But no, I'm over here paying attention
24:04
Speaker 1: because you're not behind the mic. I mean, what the what? Right?
24:09
Speaker 1: I mean, come on? It said? I mean, and that
24:11
Speaker 1: that part is disappointing, and to be honest with you,
24:17
Speaker 1: moments like that get to be embarrassing. In week eleven,
24:22
Speaker 1: come on, I mean, and we remember that. You know,
24:25
Speaker 1: week one we saw a lot of that Week one, right,
24:27
Speaker 1: guys are running on late, they had too many men
24:29
Speaker 1: on the field. You don't even expect to have that
24:31
Speaker 1: happen in a week one, I know, But I'm just
24:33
Speaker 1: telling you that's when Okay, it was week one, week eleven,
24:35
Speaker 1: I mean, if you had an injury, because here's an
24:40
Speaker 1: instance to where you're like, okay, I can I can
24:42
Speaker 1: I can get it, you haven't, and but still it
24:45
Speaker 1: shouldn't even happen in this case. But but here's the
24:48
Speaker 1: case that can happen to where you get an injury.
24:52
Speaker 1: Let's say you get a safety injured. Okay, and he
24:55
Speaker 1: is on and you're all defense, and all of a a
24:59
Speaker 1: sudden you getting ready to on punt return, and all
25:00
Speaker 1: of a sudden one of the safeties got hurt. He's
25:02
Speaker 1: on your punt return unit. But then the special teams
25:06
Speaker 1: coach didn't know or somebody didn't know that he was hurt.
25:09
Speaker 1: So now so we gotta figure out, oh my gosh,
25:11
Speaker 1: he can't play on punt returns. We so the communiction.
25:15
Speaker 1: So in that instance, you would say, Okay, that might
25:20
Speaker 1: be an understandable type situation, but when you're the punter, yeah,
25:27
Speaker 1: that's not much of an excuse for not at all.
25:33
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll ever forget that. Seriously, I don't
25:38
Speaker 1: think he might run out there on third down next
25:40
Speaker 1: week just to be out there just in case. I
25:42
Speaker 1: don't think Logan will ever forget that. And I don't
25:44
Speaker 1: think he'll ever have a moment in the rest of
25:48
Speaker 1: his career where he's not on the field for punt team.
25:52
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's game career high ten tackles, tackle for loss
25:57
Speaker 1: and forced to fumble on the opening drive. That's that's
26:01
Speaker 1: the big the big point. That could have stopped that thing,
26:04
Speaker 1: that's the big point. I love players that want to
26:08
Speaker 1: get better. I love players that study the game and
26:13
Speaker 1: to add things that they see from other players and
26:16
Speaker 1: added to their game. So you you go back and
26:20
Speaker 1: you think about, Okay, the Jaguars are getting ready to
26:22
Speaker 1: face the Indianapolis Colts, and there's a lot of conversation
26:25
Speaker 1: about Darius Leonard. Oh yeah, man, he's a he's really good.
26:29
Speaker 1: Jaguars got to see him what he played on short
26:31
Speaker 1: week so it was a Monday night game. Got to
26:33
Speaker 1: see Jonathan Taylor, got to see Darius Leonard punched the
26:36
Speaker 1: ball out. I'm sure that Josh Allen was watching that.
26:39
Speaker 1: And then of course the announcers are talking about how
26:43
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard is one of the best in the league.
26:45
Speaker 1: Got punching the ball out. You know, there's a little
26:47
Speaker 1: history there. Charles Peanut Tillman of the Chicago Bears was
26:50
Speaker 1: the best ever at it, and he's the one, the
26:54
Speaker 1: first one that I think brought it to to modern
26:56
Speaker 1: day football to where he was literally punching, punching the ball,
27:02
Speaker 1: targeting the ball, not trying to grab it and rip
27:05
Speaker 1: it out, punching the ball as he's coming in. So
27:08
Speaker 1: Josh probably sees that on Monday Night Football and then
27:11
Speaker 1: the week's prep Darius Leonard conversation with people asking questions
27:15
Speaker 1: and also prepping for the game. You're hearing about Darius
27:17
Speaker 1: Leonard and his force bumbles, like, okay, he tried a
27:21
Speaker 1: little bit in that game. And then you're getting ready
27:24
Speaker 1: to face the San Francisco forty Niners and the veteran
27:27
Speaker 1: Josh Norman who used to be a really good corner
27:31
Speaker 1: in the league, really good corner, and he's slowing down
27:34
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's still starting quality player, but he
27:37
Speaker 1: leads the league enforced fumbles going into this game. So
27:40
Speaker 1: Josh Allen sees that, and so he adds that to
27:43
Speaker 1: the game. Early in the game, he punches the ball out,
27:45
Speaker 1: it's on the turf. Jaguars don't recover. But I mean
27:48
Speaker 1: just the awareness and the improvement that he makes to
27:50
Speaker 1: his game, because that's the kind of player he is.
27:53
Speaker 1: He's constantly trying to find ways to be better. That's
27:56
Speaker 1: what you love about a Josh Allen type of a guy,
28:00
Speaker 1: and you can never have enough of those type of guys.
28:03
Speaker 1: I love. I love the way he preps, I love
28:05
Speaker 1: the way he plays. He is an every down player.
28:10
Speaker 1: He doesn't play just for sacks, which is sexy and
28:13
Speaker 1: get you two Pro Bowls. He plays for everything. He
28:15
Speaker 1: plays for the cause, fumbles, the tackles, and to be
28:18
Speaker 1: good and to improve his team. That's what I love about.
28:21
Speaker 1: In the interceptions this year too, He's got one of those,
28:23
Speaker 1: which was a great job of just being aware and
28:26
Speaker 1: following the eyes of the quarterback on a little bit
28:28
Speaker 1: of his own read outstanding play. I mean, that's that's
28:32
Speaker 1: what makes Josh Allen special and that he is contributing.
28:35
Speaker 1: If you look at his stats, like if you look
28:38
Speaker 1: at the top sackers in the league, okay, you and
28:41
Speaker 1: you go to we go to the website NFL Jesus
28:44
Speaker 1: dot com. Okay, we call it Jesus because it's it's
28:47
Speaker 1: NFL G S I S dot com. It's a statistical
28:49
Speaker 1: website that all of people in the media end up
28:52
Speaker 1: using for broadcasting, et cetera. And you pull up the
28:55
Speaker 1: top sackers in the league. Have you done that I
28:57
Speaker 1: am doing it. Okay, and look at the other categories
29:02
Speaker 1: of the guys on that list. Okay, so you look
29:04
Speaker 1: from Josh up, how many other categories do a lot
29:08
Speaker 1: of those big dogs have. They've got tackles for loss,
29:11
Speaker 1: They've got quarterback hits, they've got forced fumbles. Okay, well,
29:15
Speaker 1: when you get on the quarterback, you can get a
29:17
Speaker 1: force fumble. I mean, how about their tackles. Give me
29:19
Speaker 1: a ballpark of what's the highest tackling? Fifties and the
29:23
Speaker 1: Harold Andry has fifty seven tackles, he's the highest of
29:26
Speaker 1: Mica Parsons, great player, right, but he's got eight sacks.
29:31
Speaker 1: You know. Miles Garrett has thirty seven tackles, thirteen sacks,
29:33
Speaker 1: leads the league in sacks. What twelve and a half sacks,
29:36
Speaker 1: thirty nine tackles. Josh Allen is over fifty now, okay,
29:42
Speaker 1: he's over fifty tackles, that's right. And he's got got
29:45
Speaker 1: an interception, one tackles, five and a half sacks, nine
29:48
Speaker 1: for a loss, twelve quarterback hits, interception, four passes defense?
29:53
Speaker 1: There you go, how many pass defense to the other
29:54
Speaker 1: guys have? What's that? Uh? The T J. Watt has four.
29:58
Speaker 1: Some guys don't have any you and my point is
30:01
Speaker 1: their hands up. There's not many guys that stretch across
30:04
Speaker 1: the broad range of categories as that Josh Allen does.
30:07
Speaker 1: And that's what makes him the player that he is.
30:09
Speaker 1: And and and this defense is it's a perfect fit for
30:12
Speaker 1: him because he can he can do so many different
30:15
Speaker 1: things and he does them all very well. I mean
30:17
Speaker 1: he is if you can just find I mean, looking
30:20
Speaker 1: smooth has been really good, don't get me wrong, but
30:24
Speaker 1: if you can find a guy to pair him with,
30:28
Speaker 1: an interior rush guy. And if you can find because look,
30:32
Speaker 1: the three four is built and runs on the talents
30:35
Speaker 1: of the linebackers, if you can find another linebacker that
30:38
Speaker 1: can disrupt the game and affect the game like him,
30:42
Speaker 1: you're sitting pretty We'll come back and take a look
30:46
Speaker 1: at the Atlanta Falcons, the Week twelve opponent four and
30:49
Speaker 1: six lugs a game off the wild card in the NFC. Yeah, yeah,
30:54
Speaker 1: they're really a contender. I'm just telling you, the standings
30:59
Speaker 1: don't lie. H the standings don't lie. I totally understand that,
31:04
Speaker 1: but I can tell you one thing that Falcons are
31:06
Speaker 1: not a contemder. Okay, well, We'll get into that when

Speaker 1: I'm like seven feet from you. We're socially distant. Do
33:36
Speaker 1: you need seven feet of glass? Not that bad, but
33:40
Speaker 1: you know I still need them. Well, it makes you
33:42
Speaker 1: look better to looks you look, makes you that I
33:46
Speaker 1: need a lot of help with that one. Hey, let's
33:49
Speaker 1: get into the Atlanta Falcons. Now, logs two and eight
33:54
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. The Falcons of course four and six,
33:57
Speaker 1: and they're a game off the wild card in the NFC,
33:59
Speaker 1: and you don't buy it at all? What do you
34:03
Speaker 1: mean a contender? I mean, what if they win this
34:07
Speaker 1: week and the other teams lose, then there six or seventh.
34:12
Speaker 1: But they're not a contender. I mean what if they're
34:14
Speaker 1: not they're not playing good enough? If they getting Patterson back,
34:17
Speaker 1: what if they have Ridley has been out for a
34:20
Speaker 1: while with some off the field stuff, if he figures
34:22
Speaker 1: it out. Okay A as a you know, I don't know.
34:27
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's a lot of what if for
34:30
Speaker 1: the for the Falcons and uh the running. Here's the
34:34
Speaker 1: reality on the Falcons. Just a couple of stats for
34:36
Speaker 1: you to why I think that they're not a contender.
34:40
Speaker 1: There seven in the league and scoring that's not good.
34:44
Speaker 1: But that sounds familiar. Matt Ryan, the veteran is in
34:50
Speaker 1: quarterback rating. M that's not ideal. Okay, you ready for
34:56
Speaker 1: some more. Their thirtieth in the National Football League at
35:00
Speaker 1: running the football at seventy yards and a lot of
35:04
Speaker 1: times that ranking can be a little bit confusing because
35:10
Speaker 1: I always look at this number, which is the yards
35:14
Speaker 1: gained per rush ranking. Well, the Falcons are thirty one.
35:19
Speaker 1: That's next not good, that's correct. They're averaging three point
35:25
Speaker 1: four two yards per rush. Cor Darryl Patterson is they're
35:30
Speaker 1: leading rusher averaging three point nine yards to carry. They're
35:33
Speaker 1: starting running back Mike Davis a whopping three point two.
35:39
Speaker 1: His backup Gallman is averaging three point five. That's not
35:44
Speaker 1: very good. Compare that to the Jaguars running game, which
35:47
Speaker 1: is ranked fourth and yards gained per play at four
35:52
Speaker 1: point nine six. So at least the Jaguars are running
35:56
Speaker 1: the ball fairly effectively. The Falcons are not. The Falcon
36:00
Speaker 1: defense second worst in the National Football League at allowing points. Yeah,
36:07
Speaker 1: that's the reality. They are game point eight. To be exact.
36:15
Speaker 1: They have the fourth fewest takeaways in the National Football
36:18
Speaker 1: League with nine four interceptions in five fumble recoveries. They're
36:24
Speaker 1: not a great football team and that's the reality. Are
36:29
Speaker 1: they Are they better than the Jaguars right now? Yeah?
36:32
Speaker 1: By record, yeah we're better than Jaguars right now, but
36:37
Speaker 1: they are not. They are not a contender. How do
36:40
Speaker 1: you cover Kyle Pitts. You treat him like a wide
36:43
Speaker 1: receiver because that's what he is. I mean they he's big,
36:48
Speaker 1: he's strong, he's physical, he's fast, but he doesn't line
36:53
Speaker 1: up and play like a traditional tight end, and I
36:56
Speaker 1: would I wouldn't consider him a tight end. You know.
36:59
Speaker 1: Tie it end is somebody that you have to match
37:01
Speaker 1: up with, and it's difficult to match up with because
37:05
Speaker 1: they are equally as effective as a blocker and also
37:09
Speaker 1: as a receiver. Perfect example was last week George Kittle,
37:15
Speaker 1: great player. You you have to treat him like he
37:19
Speaker 1: is a really good blocker, because he is. They line
37:22
Speaker 1: him up next to tackles and he can block just
37:25
Speaker 1: as good as an offensive lineman. Kyle Pitts, they can't
37:28
Speaker 1: line him up next to a tackle and expect him
37:31
Speaker 1: to block like George Kittle. He can't, So you treat
37:34
Speaker 1: him like a wide receiver because he's so good down
37:36
Speaker 1: the field. What would you even really worry about him
37:40
Speaker 1: right off? And you better find a way to have
37:44
Speaker 1: whether it be a safety over the top, you know,
37:46
Speaker 1: having somebody buzzing underneath of him. I mean you you've
37:50
Speaker 1: got to make sure that you give him plenty attention
37:52
Speaker 1: of attention. And the Patriots did a really good job
37:55
Speaker 1: against him. And that's one of the things that Belichick
37:57
Speaker 1: does best with the doing the Patriots. He always does
37:59
Speaker 1: a great job of taken away your strength so that
38:03
Speaker 1: you don't feel very comfortable as an offense or as
38:07
Speaker 1: a play caller, because that's where play callers want to be.
38:10
Speaker 1: They want to have a comfort zone. And that's what
38:12
Speaker 1: Belichick does. And I like he. He may lose a
38:16
Speaker 1: football game, but he's not gonna lose a football game
38:20
Speaker 1: having your best player have his best day. That's not
38:24
Speaker 1: how he rolls Falcons defense. Foy yes today or Louis
38:29
Speaker 1: kun one of the top tacklers in the NFL, he
38:32
Speaker 1: goes as Foyer, that's his um his given name as
38:36
Speaker 1: the longer version. But ten tackles last week, a hundred
38:39
Speaker 1: ten for the season. That's tied for third in the
38:42
Speaker 1: National Football League, a sixth round pick by the Falcons
38:44
Speaker 1: out of Yale and Powerhouse. And he's a good player Yale. Yeah,
38:49
Speaker 1: he's a good player. Dion Jones, good player. I got
38:52
Speaker 1: two two good linebackers, and then they've got some youth elsewhere.
38:56
Speaker 1: But uh, Dante Fowler is one of their outside linebacker.
39:00
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Jaguar fans know him and um so,
39:04
Speaker 1: but the Falcons, look, I think it's pretty neat First
39:09
Speaker 1: of all, the Author Smith, who is their head coach,
39:11
Speaker 1: former offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans, and from what
39:16
Speaker 1: I understand, he is highly respected, highly respected as an
39:21
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, highly respected as an individual, and uh, he
39:27
Speaker 1: coached Dean Ps out of retirement, the defensive coordinator for
39:31
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. Dean Ps is one of the best.
39:36
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking one of the best coordinators that
39:40
Speaker 1: that you could have in the National Football League and
39:42
Speaker 1: he's done a great job historically everywhere that he's been.
39:46
Speaker 1: If Dean Ps can't get this defense to play better
39:49
Speaker 1: than the second most points allowed in the National Football
39:52
Speaker 1: League as a defense, then that means they've got some
39:54
Speaker 1: talent issues on defense. And they do, and they do,
39:58
Speaker 1: and they just don't have the money to address sitting
40:00
Speaker 1: and there it's gonna take time for them to to
40:02
Speaker 1: be able to utilize their draft picks, et cetera. So
40:06
Speaker 1: when you have this new change of administration and at
40:10
Speaker 1: the top of the new general manager in Atlanta and
40:12
Speaker 1: then also the new head coach, I mean, this is
40:13
Speaker 1: a this is a commitment to where they know and
40:18
Speaker 1: Author Blank knew that this was not gonna happen overnight.
40:21
Speaker 1: They knew it was gonna take time, and uh, and
40:23
Speaker 1: that's what it is. But I was surprised that Author
40:26
Speaker 1: Smith and that probably tells you what how good of
40:29
Speaker 1: a guy that Author Smith is that if Dean Pas
40:33
Speaker 1: comes out of retirement to work for him. Pas was
40:37
Speaker 1: a long time coordinator for the Baldwore Ravens on defense
40:40
Speaker 1: and then the Titans eighteen and nineteen. That's where he
40:42
Speaker 1: and Smith got together. Smith was a Tennessee for basically
40:46
Speaker 1: his whole NFL career. Dean Pas came out of retirement
40:49
Speaker 1: from Mike Rabel there you go, right, Okay, then he
40:54
Speaker 1: Mike and then he goes back to retirement, and then
40:58
Speaker 1: Author Smith gets the job in at in and he's
41:00
Speaker 1: able to talk him out of retirement. And we know
41:04
Speaker 1: what kind of a guy Rabel is. Good dude. I mean,
41:07
Speaker 1: I know if I've known Mike a long time, good,
41:09
Speaker 1: good guy, great dude, And right now he's shown to
41:13
Speaker 1: be one hell of a coach. Final thought on the
41:15
Speaker 1: Falcons defense here, Dante Feller Jr. Is on the Falcons roster.
41:19
Speaker 1: Signed a three year contract for a lot of money. Um, well,
41:24
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll be motivated for this game. Was that was?
41:26
Speaker 1: That was a mistake by Thomas Demitrov. I thought to
41:30
Speaker 1: give Dante Fellow that kind of money. I would I
41:35
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done it. He and and Dante Faller did
41:38
Speaker 1: maybe the smartest thing that he could possibly do. He
41:41
Speaker 1: he ended up going to the Rams. That was a
41:43
Speaker 1: trade I believe, Yes it was Jacks traded him to
41:45
Speaker 1: the Rams. But then he signed a one year deal
41:47
Speaker 1: for like fourteen million dollars of which was crazy next year.
41:52
Speaker 1: So who are you playing with in in l A.
41:56
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not in the middle, right. Let's see.
41:59
Speaker 1: Let me let me figure out what I want to
42:01
Speaker 1: do to my career. What can I what's the best
42:02
Speaker 1: thing I can do? Let me build some numbers play
42:05
Speaker 1: next to Aaron Donald. Yeah, but Dante Fowler is uh,
42:10
Speaker 1: you know, it's unfortunate you got the guy's got a
42:12
Speaker 1: lot of talent, but there were some things that he
42:14
Speaker 1: just did not do well and weren't his strongest statubutes
42:16
Speaker 1: and it wasn't able to work here. I mean athletically,
42:18
Speaker 1: He's one of the most gifted guys I've ever seen,
42:21
Speaker 1: but you know, you have to be able to have
42:23
Speaker 1: the ability to translate that gift into production, and at
42:26
Speaker 1: times that's where he fell short. When we return, we'll
42:29
Speaker 1: take a look at the Baptist Health Injury and fourth
42:31
Speaker 1: the a f C South results and standings, and then
42:35

Speaker 1: at the Baptist Health injury reports for the Jaguars. Well,
44:04
Speaker 1: they've moved another name to the injured Reserve designated to
44:08
Speaker 1: return j To Fell a defensive tackle move there today
44:11
Speaker 1: that starts his twenty one day window to get back
44:13
Speaker 1: on track or go on I R for the remainder
44:17
Speaker 1: of the season. After that, James Shaughnessy is still there,
44:19
Speaker 1: Brandon Lender's still there as well. They're still trying to
44:21
Speaker 1: work their way back. We'll see how the week goes
44:23
Speaker 1: for those guys. Jamal Agnew now on reserve injured to
44:28
Speaker 1: join a handful of others. So a J candidate in
44:30
Speaker 1: the hallway, by the way, from a distance, no crutches anymore.
44:34
Speaker 1: That's a good sign him. So that's good news. Just
44:36
Speaker 1: a good guy. And we see if you follow d
44:38
Speaker 1: J Charko on Instagram, you see him coming to the
44:40
Speaker 1: games and you know cast is off and that's a
44:43
Speaker 1: good sign also. So you know, he kind of takes
44:46
Speaker 1: photos of his leg and stuff, so you know if
44:48
Speaker 1: you're into that. Travis C. T N haven't seen a
44:50
Speaker 1: lot out of him, but you know I did see
44:53
Speaker 1: just a little note. I was watching Lender go through
44:56
Speaker 1: some paces working out before the game this past week
44:59
Speaker 1: on field running, you know, doing kind of like you
45:02
Speaker 1: know the old suicide thing where you run down five yards,
45:05
Speaker 1: touch the line, run back ten yards, touch this line,
45:07
Speaker 1: and run back through. I need to do some of those.
45:09
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know what you mean. When's the last
45:14
Speaker 1: time you did something like a minute? A minute? It's
45:19
Speaker 1: a barbecue fest coming up in right, Let's take a
45:24
Speaker 1: look at what day of the week is that barbecue
45:26
Speaker 1: festigains Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The Jags are on the road
45:29
Speaker 1: that Sunday, so we could do it Friday, though, Yeah,
45:33
Speaker 1: all right, it sounds like are we going? Are we going?
45:36
Speaker 1: I think we're in right, gonna give it a shot.
45:38
Speaker 1: I think we ought to go. I think we I
45:40
Speaker 1: think we ought to. I think we ought to go.
45:41
Speaker 1: I think we all ought to just literally belly up
45:45
Speaker 1: literally at the table in the bar AFC South results
45:49
Speaker 1: this past Sunday, well, of course we know what happened
45:52
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars, but the Colts put a number on
45:55
Speaker 1: the Bills forty one to fifteen. Jonathan Taylor had five
45:59
Speaker 1: total us downs thirty two carries a hundred eighty five yards,
46:03
Speaker 1: and then the Texans shocked the Titans twenty two to thirteen.
46:07
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor had two rushing touchdowns in the game. He
46:11
Speaker 1: was the key there, he was and Ryan Tannehill threw
46:13
Speaker 1: four interceptions in the game, which is not like him.
46:16
Speaker 1: That's uh. And I think somebody had a j Brown
46:20
Speaker 1: in our fantasy. I wonder who that wasn't me? I
46:23
Speaker 1: knew that and didn't work out so well for whoever
46:26
Speaker 1: that was, a matter of fact, see, I think it
46:30
Speaker 1: was AFC South standings after all of that, well, it's
46:37
Speaker 1: not good for the Jags. They dropped to last in
46:40
Speaker 1: the division. Now Houston has the better division record, uh,
46:43
Speaker 1: and the head to head of course, So Houston two
46:45
Speaker 1: and eight, Jacksonville two and eight, Tennessee eight and three,
46:48
Speaker 1: Indy trying to gain some ground. We'll see. By the way,
46:51
Speaker 1: did take a guess at who Basselli's quarterback was? Tannehill?
46:56
Speaker 1: He doubled up. He doubled up. That's smart. Oh no,
47:02
Speaker 1: oh boy. The AMC South upcoming schedules for the next
47:06
Speaker 1: five weeks, well, okay, of course the Jacks of the
47:09
Speaker 1: Falcons at the Rams. That game is now at four
47:12
Speaker 1: oh five on Fox, not on CBS. The Rams game
47:17
Speaker 1: week thirteen, two weeks away. Now, they just changed that.
47:20
Speaker 1: They flex some other games around, so that one moved
47:23
Speaker 1: at Tennessee in the week fourteen, Houston here week fifteen,
47:26
Speaker 1: and then at the Jets week sixteen. The Let's take
47:29
Speaker 1: a look Tennessee Titans at New England bye week, Jacksonville
47:33
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh, and then San Francisco. That's a that schedule
47:37
Speaker 1: is pretty interesting apparently obviously that they play like they
47:40
Speaker 1: played yesterday. The Colts have Tampa at Houston bye week,
47:43
Speaker 1: New England Arizona. That's a tough schedule also, well, look
47:46
Speaker 1: at at the one thing about Indianapolis is that if
47:51
Speaker 1: you're running the ball effectively as they have been with
47:54
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, schedule doesn't matter. Yeah, I mean really, that's
47:59
Speaker 1: like the great neutralizer if you've got a great running
48:01
Speaker 1: running attack. Look at Derrick Henry. Look what Derrick Henry
48:04
Speaker 1: was able to do with the Tennessee Titans and how
48:06
Speaker 1: he's basically been carrying that football team on his back.
48:08
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor doing the same thing. Because I mean, even
48:11
Speaker 1: though Carson Wentz has had some better moments this year,
48:14
Speaker 1: he's not great consistently. I mean, this past game he
48:17
Speaker 1: didn't have he didn't have a very good game at all.
48:19
Speaker 1: Because if you would a quarterback ought to have a
48:21
Speaker 1: monster game when you've got Jonathan Taylor doing what he
48:24
Speaker 1: did last week, just like Garoppolo Garoppolo had a really
48:29
Speaker 1: good game, because yeah, they can run the ball. They
48:33
Speaker 1: ran the ball, you know, so anyway, just just saying culture.
48:38
Speaker 1: When you've got a team that can run the ball
48:40
Speaker 1: like the Coults, everybody better lookout. Prediction. Are they going
48:43
Speaker 1: to overtake the Titans and win the division? Um, that's
48:47
Speaker 1: a great question. I just don't believe in Carson Wentz.
48:50
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even with the running game in
48:54
Speaker 1: the defense. And here here's the reason why, Because it's
48:57
Speaker 1: just like the Jaguars game. You know, Frank right sometime
49:00
Speaker 1: times wants to get a little bit too cute and
49:01
Speaker 1: not rely and let the running back on the ball game.
49:03
Speaker 1: I mean, if I if I was calling plays against
49:06
Speaker 1: the Jaguars in that game, Carson Wentz wouldn't even have
49:09
Speaker 1: had a sniff of touching the leather and putting it
49:12
Speaker 1: in the air. I would have ran Jonathan Taylor. I
49:14
Speaker 1: would have ran Naheem Hines. I would have said Mac
49:17
Speaker 1: someone who else. I would have had Mac active in
49:19
Speaker 1: that game. Tight end, somebody's touching the football. We would
49:23
Speaker 1: have ran the ball every time. Well that'll do it
49:25
Speaker 1: for Jaguars. Happy Hour coming up. The Urban Meyers Show
49:29
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Radio Network. We will take another look
49:32
Speaker 1: at week eleven, the loss to San Francisco and look
49:36
Speaker 1: ahead to the Atlanta Falcons coming up as the Jaguars
