Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This is Jaguars Happy Hour, and now a guy who
- 0:07Speaker 1: knows the best way to keep the Titans out of
- 0:09Speaker 1: the end zone is to put a jar and Maynet's
- 0:11Speaker 1: in the other end zone. J Peace Shadras. Yes, it
- 0:18Speaker 1: is Titans Week and welcome in. It is Jaguars Happy
- 0:22Speaker 1: Hour on this Thursday afternoon, Week fourteen. I'm J. P. Shadrick.
- 0:26Speaker 1: We've got a busy two hours ahead here on Jaguars Radio.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Well coming up now, it's Jaguars Happy Hour. Analyst Jeff
- 0:34Speaker 1: Lagman standing by ahead of this Jaguars Titans match up,
- 0:37Speaker 1: the first of two over the last five weeks of
- 0:40Speaker 1: the season between these division rivals. The Jaguars four and
- 0:43Speaker 1: eight tennessee at the top of the division, trying to
- 0:47Speaker 1: find their footing though down the stretch, the quarterback status
- 0:51Speaker 1: up in the air for the Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll talk
- 0:55Speaker 1: through the defense and how they bounce back from their
- 0:57Speaker 1: roughest outing of the season last week in Detroit. And
- 1:00Speaker 1: then at five o'clock it's the Doug Peterson Show. We'll
- 1:03Speaker 1: hear from the Jaguars head coach on the Jaguars Radio
- 1:05Speaker 1: Network and get his thoughts on the game. I had
- 1:09Speaker 1: this week. Let's start with the quarterback and rewind A. Wednesday,
- 1:13Speaker 1: he spoke with the media as normal, even though he
- 1:16Speaker 1: didn't practice on Wednesday, discussing the injury and the scare
- 1:20Speaker 1: last week in Detroit. Well, I thought it was my
- 1:23Speaker 1: knee at first, you know, um, just the way I
- 1:26Speaker 1: got twisted and um, you know, I thought I really
- 1:29Speaker 1: thought it was my knee. That's why I kind of
- 1:30Speaker 1: grabbed it on the field. Just scared me more than
- 1:32Speaker 1: anything because it bent away. It's probably not supposed to bend. Um.
- 1:36Speaker 1: And then when I was laying there, you know, my
- 1:38Speaker 1: my knee was hurting a little bit. Uh. I felt
- 1:40Speaker 1: my toe a little bit too. But my first concern
- 1:42Speaker 1: with my knees. I was laying there and Chanders came
- 1:44Speaker 1: up there checking everything, that asked me if it hurt.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I was like, actually, you know, when they were moving,
- 1:47Speaker 1: it didn't really hurt too bad. So that made me
- 1:49Speaker 1: feel better. And then when I got up started moving around,
- 1:52Speaker 1: my toe was my toe was hurting, um, you know.
- 1:55Speaker 1: And then from there obviously like after the game and
- 1:57Speaker 1: Monday morning and woke up and it was really really
- 2:00Speaker 1: so or stiffened up on me. But um, yeah, I
- 2:03Speaker 1: kind of dodged a bullet for sure on that on
- 2:04Speaker 1: that hit. He did not practice Wednesday, he was not
- 2:07Speaker 1: out there again today. C J. Bethard was with the
- 2:10Speaker 1: first team and today Press Taylor, the offensive coordinator before practice,
- 2:15Speaker 1: asked if Bethard could handle the load if need be, No,
- 2:18Speaker 1: I'd say, there's not anything he cannot do. Um, you know,
- 2:22Speaker 1: and and part of it is he's been around all
- 2:25Speaker 1: season long since the day we put the offense in. Uh.
- 2:28Speaker 1: We always try to taylor to the strengths of our players,
- 2:30Speaker 1: So that may be something if it were if we
- 2:32Speaker 1: made that decision. I think that's a late pivot we
- 2:35Speaker 1: could get to if we needed to say, you know,
- 2:36Speaker 1: this is we have this in the plan. We like
- 2:38Speaker 1: it versus defense, but you know, based on c J
- 2:41Speaker 1: vers trevor whatever that may be, maybe it's every let's
- 2:43Speaker 1: stay away from that unless we needed or we kind
- 2:45Speaker 1: of do that all the time every week, depending on
- 2:47Speaker 1: who guys are and where they are and how we
- 2:49Speaker 1: see things express themselves during practicing. And finally, the focus
- 2:53Speaker 1: on defense this week as well. Coordinator Might cold Well
- 2:56Speaker 1: asked how that group can find energy in their play
- 2:59Speaker 1: on the field. Well, think about it is you noticed it,
- 3:03Speaker 1: uh watching the film about we have saying that when
- 3:07Speaker 1: one makes a play, we all make a play, and
- 3:09Speaker 1: you should be excited when your brother makes a play.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And you didn't see that on Sunday for whatever reason.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So we just, uh, you know, we're gonna dig deep
- 3:18Speaker 1: and find out, you know, go back and let this
- 3:21Speaker 1: game be a youthful game. Enjoy the game when you're
- 3:24Speaker 1: out there, have smile on your face, to go out
- 3:26Speaker 1: there and make plays and have fun with it. We'll see, well,
- 3:29Speaker 1: I don't know about fun against Derrick Henry, but we'll
- 3:31Speaker 1: find out. This Sunday, of course, in Nashville, all the
- 3:34Speaker 1: press conferences available on Jaguars dot com will have head
- 3:37Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson of course, coming up at five o'clock
- 3:40Speaker 1: on the Doug Peterson Show. We welcome in Jaguars analyst
- 3:43Speaker 1: Jeff Logum and joining us now here on set. It's
- 3:46Speaker 1: nice to see you, Jeff. Happy Thursday to you. How
- 3:49Speaker 1: are you good? Good? Yeah? Yeah, fantastic, man. I got
- 3:55Speaker 1: a couple of coffee here. Got a football game coming up,
- 3:57Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. You know, physical, black and blue style of
- 4:01Speaker 1: football game. Let's go. Let's start though, plenty of time
- 4:05Speaker 1: to get to the Titans and what they have to offer, physicality,
- 4:08Speaker 1: all that, but a lot of focus on a big
- 4:11Speaker 1: toe this week of the quarterback on the left foot,
- 4:13Speaker 1: and he's been practiced for two days in a row.
- 4:16Speaker 1: He sounded confident that he would be ready to go.
- 4:19Speaker 1: That was yesterday, and you know he's been walking around
- 4:22Speaker 1: some with the kind of the sandal contraption on. I
- 4:25Speaker 1: didn't see him with it on today. Yeah, it's not
- 4:28Speaker 1: even a full boot. It's like a slide on kind
- 4:30Speaker 1: of scrap thing and then just to protect it. But
- 4:33Speaker 1: today's why does that protect it? It doesn't allow him
- 4:37Speaker 1: to move his toe? I guess I don't know. That's
- 4:38Speaker 1: what he said. I mean quizzing you because anyway, he
- 4:43Speaker 1: didn't have it today, and he was out there on
- 4:45Speaker 1: the practice field standing. But at least when the open
- 4:47Speaker 1: media period was out, there was standing behind Beth Thord
- 4:50Speaker 1: running with the first team group and the some things
- 4:53Speaker 1: we saw so alright, So at least that's a step.
- 4:55Speaker 1: He was out there out there. So that's a step
- 4:58Speaker 1: I guess from not being out there being at least
- 5:00Speaker 1: standing out there. I guess that's a step. I don't
- 5:03Speaker 1: know if i'd call that a step, but um uh.
- 5:06Speaker 1: The good thing is is that he feels confident that
- 5:08Speaker 1: he's going to be able to play. Now, will that
- 5:10Speaker 1: happen or not? I don't know. And here's the other unknown.
- 5:13Speaker 1: He's never had to deal with an injury before and
- 5:16Speaker 1: to play a game without practicing during the course of
- 5:18Speaker 1: a week, or having missed practices during the course of
- 5:21Speaker 1: week as far as we know, so that I think
- 5:24Speaker 1: is an interesting question. How will he play? You know,
- 5:27Speaker 1: how will those around him play? You would like to
- 5:29Speaker 1: think that those around him would play better knowing that
- 5:32Speaker 1: he's a little nicked up or that you know, you
- 5:35Speaker 1: want to make sure that he doesn't get hit. Well,
- 5:37Speaker 1: The offensive line play better? Will the running game be better?
- 5:41Speaker 1: Will the receivers catch the balls knowing that their quarterback
- 5:45Speaker 1: is not Yeah? I think those are all interesting, in
- 5:48Speaker 1: fair questions, and we won't know the answer to all
- 5:51Speaker 1: of that until we get the game beyond Sunday, first
- 5:53Speaker 1: and foremost to see if he's gonna play. I think
- 5:56Speaker 1: part of your point is those players around him, Yes,
- 5:58Speaker 1: the offensive line, but skill guys to a lot of
- 6:01Speaker 1: drops last week that the ball on the deck the
- 6:03Speaker 1: first drive gave it up last week was bad. I mean,
- 6:07Speaker 1: you know, I mean, there's no way around calling it
- 6:11Speaker 1: what it is. I mean, it was a poor performance,
- 6:13Speaker 1: I mean, and it was the disappointment I think in
- 6:16Speaker 1: that game was that it was a poor performance against
- 6:18Speaker 1: the team that it's kind of similar to you, and
- 6:20Speaker 1: that they haven't been very good. And it was a
- 6:23Speaker 1: big moment because both teams had a lot at stake
- 6:27Speaker 1: and that was being relevant through the month of December
- 6:30Speaker 1: to close the season out, and the Detroit Lions played
- 6:34Speaker 1: like the game meant something and the Jaguars did not
- 6:37Speaker 1: play like the game meant something. Whether it's been offensively, defensively,
- 6:41Speaker 1: you name it. It It wasn't good. All facts of the
- 6:44Speaker 1: football team did not play well. He put the ball
- 6:46Speaker 1: on the ground right out of the gate with Travis CTN,
- 6:50Speaker 1: which is, by the way, the fourth fumble of the
- 6:52Speaker 1: season for him. So Travis better get ready because I
- 6:56Speaker 1: guarantee the teams that are remaining on the schedule are
- 6:59Speaker 1: gonna be going to the ball and then you have
- 7:02Speaker 1: some drops that nullify or end some drives. Offensively and defensively,
- 7:06Speaker 1: you can't stop them. That can't stop That's the other
- 7:10Speaker 1: side of course, yet eight scoring drives and then a
- 7:12Speaker 1: kneel down to in the game. The worst the worst
- 7:15Speaker 1: part was the one before the kneel down, because it
- 7:18Speaker 1: was the Detroit lines were running a four minute offense,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and I was thinking, like at the ten minute mark
- 7:23Speaker 1: or something like that, and they were essentially just trying
- 7:27Speaker 1: to run the clock out. They weren't trying to score,
- 7:31Speaker 1: but they did and went like seven minutes or something
- 7:34Speaker 1: and throw until they had two on third down. And
- 7:36Speaker 1: then when they got the third down, they had guys
- 7:38Speaker 1: open that were like wide open. And how does this
- 7:43Speaker 1: happen again? I mean, that's happened a few times in
- 7:46Speaker 1: Kansas City. There's guys running wide open. I was just
- 7:49Speaker 1: I was actually just looking at a stat and and
- 7:52Speaker 1: and this it's not it's not very favorable, but it's
- 7:56Speaker 1: the reality. The defense. We have mentioned before that we
- 8:00Speaker 1: felt like that the defense was regressing, and I made
- 8:02Speaker 1: that statement during the game broadcast that this team defensively
- 8:06Speaker 1: seems to be regressing when you would like to have
- 8:08Speaker 1: them ascending at this point of the year because you
- 8:11Speaker 1: have young players, and you have a lot of additions
- 8:14Speaker 1: to that side of the ball that are younger, so
- 8:17Speaker 1: you would expect a younger defense or a younger side
- 8:20Speaker 1: of the ball to get better as the season wears on.
- 8:24Speaker 1: With the more experience that they get, the better they
- 8:25Speaker 1: should play. Right, that's common sense in theory. Well that's
- 8:29Speaker 1: not been the case. And here are the numbers. In
- 8:33Speaker 1: weeks one through nine, the Jaguars defense had only given
- 8:37Speaker 1: up nineteen point eight points per game. Pretty good, that's
- 8:40Speaker 1: a good number. Thirty forty three yards a game and
- 8:44Speaker 1: that's total yards two D and thirty eight yards passing
- 8:48Speaker 1: a game. The third down percentage allowed was thirty nine
- 8:52Speaker 1: point six, the opposer passer rating eighty five point eight.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Those are those pretty good numbers. Good numbers. Now, let's
- 8:59Speaker 1: let's up of the league numbers, but you know, top
- 9:01Speaker 1: third of the league those ten through thirteen Okay. Points
- 9:06Speaker 1: per game went from nineteen point eight in weeks one
- 9:08Speaker 1: and nine to thirty one point three in weeks ten
- 9:13Speaker 1: to thirteen yards per game went from three forty three
- 9:17Speaker 1: a game in weeks one and nine to four hundred
- 9:19Speaker 1: and forty six per game more third down percentage. This
- 9:24Speaker 1: is crazy. Thirty nine point six in the early part
- 9:27Speaker 1: of the season or first nine weeks of the season
- 9:30Speaker 1: sixty three point nine percent in the last four weeks. Wow,
- 9:34Speaker 1: it was big last weekend that poser passer rating went
- 9:37Speaker 1: from eighty five point eight in the first nine weeks
- 9:39Speaker 1: to one eleven point eight in the last four weeks.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I mean, then, so why that's a great question hasn't
- 9:45Speaker 1: changed so dramatically off the cliff. I think they've got
- 9:48Speaker 1: some personnel issues and uh, and they have performance issues,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and I think they have a a young coach at
- 9:55Speaker 1: the helm and still trying to kind of all of
- 9:58Speaker 1: those things, trying to navigate their way, and it's just
- 10:02Speaker 1: it's it's not the performance is not good. Is there
- 10:07Speaker 1: a way or are there ways to you know, not
- 10:12Speaker 1: bringing all the way back. It almost feels like it's
- 10:14Speaker 1: gonna be tough to get back to that level again.
- 10:16Speaker 1: But can you move some personnels and change change some things?
- 10:19Speaker 1: I mean, what can you do? You can't got to
- 10:22Speaker 1: be careful because you can't try to do something that's
- 10:26Speaker 1: just way different because then it's learning something completely new,
- 10:32Speaker 1: so that would set you back again. So I think
- 10:35Speaker 1: what you try to do is you narrow the focus
- 10:38Speaker 1: a little bit, You simplify as much as you can
- 10:42Speaker 1: and make sure that the execution level goes up. And
- 10:47Speaker 1: then the other thing is that you try to put
- 10:50Speaker 1: the players in their best position to succeed. So what
- 10:55Speaker 1: does that mean. Okay, do you have the personnel to
- 10:59Speaker 1: play a bunch of man coverage? JP? Do you think
- 11:02Speaker 1: this defense has the back end to play a bunch
- 11:04Speaker 1: of man Uh No, it has proven that it is
- 11:06Speaker 1: not exactly you know, But here's the problem that a
- 11:12Speaker 1: lot of times when they've played zone, they haven't done
- 11:14Speaker 1: very well either. As John Ozier so eloquently said yesterday,
- 11:19Speaker 1: those are the only two options. Well, and so I
- 11:24Speaker 1: think that you got to kind of play more zone,
- 11:27Speaker 1: and that gets away from a little bit of the
- 11:29Speaker 1: philosophy of what they initially tried to instill. But at
- 11:33Speaker 1: the end of the day, you've got, you know, guys
- 11:37Speaker 1: that aren't playing at a high level. You're playing with
- 11:39Speaker 1: a lot of safeties, more safeties over the last couple
- 11:41Speaker 1: of weeks, and you've played with and the first part
- 11:44Speaker 1: of the season, Shot Griffin went to I R R.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Darius Williams has disappointed Tyson Campbell's been solid um to me.
- 11:55Speaker 1: It's just it's not a great situation to be in.
- 11:57Speaker 1: And and I will say that having Andre Cisco out
- 12:01Speaker 1: of the lineup last week, I think that sent the
- 12:03Speaker 1: defense and put them in a little bit of a
- 12:06Speaker 1: quandary because now you remember the week before, all of
- 12:11Speaker 1: a sudden you have these these multiple safety packages. Well,
- 12:15Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you maybe continue to plan
- 12:18Speaker 1: on doing some of those things, and then Cisco doesn't
- 12:21Speaker 1: go worked out before the game. We talked about this
- 12:24Speaker 1: and the and the pregame show with Brian and Mike
- 12:28Speaker 1: and said, you know, he's warming up right now. It
- 12:30Speaker 1: doesn't look very good and he's a scratch it because
- 12:33Speaker 1: you know, were they maybe not quite as prepared for
- 12:36Speaker 1: that with the multiple safety package. So there's a lot
- 12:40Speaker 1: of things to consider. Um, you're not getting any pass rush.
- 12:44Speaker 1: That's an issue. And against Detroit that was not a
- 12:48Speaker 1: favorable matchup because the strength of their offensive line was
- 12:51Speaker 1: the two tackles. The better part of your pass rush
- 12:54Speaker 1: has been at the edges, so they kind of have
- 12:58Speaker 1: You're somewhat of a strength against what is really a
- 13:02Speaker 1: strong point for that offensive line, and it negates that
- 13:05Speaker 1: somewhat strength that you have. So I feel better about
- 13:10Speaker 1: this matchup this week than I did against the Detroit matchup,
- 13:13Speaker 1: just because the Tennessee team is not as uh dynamic
- 13:19Speaker 1: offensively is Derrick Henry. And look, there's no mysteries about
- 13:23Speaker 1: stopping Derrick Henry. Man. Strap your helmet on, tighten everything up,
- 13:26Speaker 1: and put the extra pads on and get ready to
- 13:28Speaker 1: play physical game. All right, We're gonna come back and
- 13:30Speaker 1: dig deeper into that and his history. Well, you don't
- 13:33Speaker 1: have to dig too deep for the history of Henry
- 13:35Speaker 1: against the Jaguars. It's not pretty. For the Jaguars, that
- 13:40Speaker 1: can change, you know, We'll we'll get into that coming up.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Of course a little later. The injury report that has
- 13:46Speaker 1: just come out, Um and the Titans have a bunch
- 13:49Speaker 1: of guys on the list this week. We'll go through
- 13:52Speaker 1: all those coming up, and of course at five o'clock
- 13:54Speaker 1: it's the Doug Peterson Show. We'll here from the Jaguars
- 13:56Speaker 1: head coach. P r I Productions, the official event production
- 14:00Speaker 1: company of the Jags, has everything you need to bring
- 14:02Speaker 1: your next idea to life. Visit pr I Productions dot com.
- 14:07Speaker 1: We're off and running. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the
- 14:09Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. Jaguar's Game Day Radio is brought to
- 14:22Speaker 1: you by Vicestar Credit Union do good bank better and
- 14:26Speaker 1: welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour Thursday, Week fourteen, the
- 14:30Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans coming up at Nissan Stadium
- 14:33Speaker 1: on the banks of the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville, Tennessee,
- 14:37Speaker 1: this Sunday, one o'clock Eastern. JP Shadrick with Jeff Lockman. Well,
- 14:42Speaker 1: let's look at the Tennessee Titans, and you know this
- 14:46Speaker 1: offense that you said is um, yeah, it's Derrick Henry.
- 14:50Speaker 1: That's where it really begins. They've got a couple receivers,
- 14:54Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, it still comes
- 14:56Speaker 1: back to number twenty two back there. The last month
- 14:58Speaker 1: or so he has don't really put up monster numbers.
- 15:01Speaker 1: In fact, the last couple of games he's been under
- 15:04Speaker 1: forty yards each time out. So is this the same
- 15:08Speaker 1: Henry of old? I think it only takes one or
- 15:10Speaker 1: two runs stiff arms to kind of change that narrative.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Are You're right? And that's really what they, I think
- 15:17Speaker 1: offensively would like to try to continue to do, you know,
- 15:21Speaker 1: is to rely on Derrick Henry because if they get
- 15:24Speaker 1: put in the position to where they have to pass
- 15:26Speaker 1: the ball like they did over the last couple of
- 15:27Speaker 1: weeks that hasn't worked out very well for them. The
- 15:31Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles were able to get immense pressure on Tanney Hill,
- 15:35Speaker 1: and the tackles for the Tennessee Titans are not very good,
- 15:40Speaker 1: to be perfectly honest with you, and I think part
- 15:43Speaker 1: of what was on display against the Eagles, I think
- 15:47Speaker 1: really shown a bright light on their personnel issues that
- 15:50Speaker 1: they have been having, which was one of the reasons
- 15:53Speaker 1: why for the dismissal of their general manager this week,
- 15:56Speaker 1: John Robinson. And the last couple of years, John Robinson
- 16:01Speaker 1: has had a corner that can't get on the field.
- 16:04Speaker 1: He's had an offensive tackle that is I think out
- 16:06Speaker 1: of the league now that he was hoping that was
- 16:09Speaker 1: going to be a starter for him, and uh with
- 16:13Speaker 1: one injury at left tackle Taylor the one, they inserted
- 16:16Speaker 1: dentist to tell who they signed in free agency from
- 16:19Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers and that has not worked out very well.
- 16:22Speaker 1: They drafted a third round pick right tackle and Nicholas
- 16:26Speaker 1: Petite Freyre who has not been very good. Both of
- 16:29Speaker 1: these tackles fall near the bottom of the league and
- 16:33Speaker 1: guys that are starting, if not at the bottom, and
- 16:36Speaker 1: that's been a problem. So Tennessee right now has to
- 16:40Speaker 1: be able to play what I say, bullyball, and that
- 16:43Speaker 1: their best when they're they're playing their best when they've
- 16:46Speaker 1: got the lead, and they can continue to run the
- 16:48Speaker 1: ball and let Derrick Henry be the offense if they
- 16:51Speaker 1: have to pass, their tackles don't hold up. They've got
- 16:54Speaker 1: a pretty decent quarterback in Tannio and A. J. Brown
- 16:57Speaker 1: has now gone. He's in Philadelphia. They drave ated Trailing Burks,
- 17:01Speaker 1: who has been okay, and then the rest of the
- 17:04Speaker 1: guys JP the pedestrian. How about this Trailing Burks. He's
- 17:08Speaker 1: on the injury report this week. We'll get to the
- 17:09Speaker 1: four report concussion. By the way, last week he leads
- 17:12Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans in receiving yards three fifty nine, but
- 17:16Speaker 1: he's only played of the snaps this year. Right, Let
- 17:20Speaker 1: I tell you that tells you. They tells you. The
- 17:22Speaker 1: rest of the guys are not very good. Robert Woods
- 17:24Speaker 1: is on that team. I mean, they got some names
- 17:27Speaker 1: and part of it is is, I mean the reason
- 17:28Speaker 1: the numbers are low that it's a it's a Derrick
- 17:30Speaker 1: Henry based offense, and that's gonna make some of the
- 17:33Speaker 1: numbers low for the wide receivers, you know, and so
- 17:36Speaker 1: in reality, it's more of a tight end based offense.
- 17:39Speaker 1: And that's a fact. And they've got a couple of
- 17:41Speaker 1: good ones. Austin Hooper is a good player and you
- 17:44Speaker 1: can see the numbers with him on our social media channels.
- 17:47Speaker 1: He's got twenty seven catches for the year. They also
- 17:50Speaker 1: have a rookie tight end, chick okum Quo, who was
- 17:54Speaker 1: a fourth round pick out of Maryland. He's a good
- 17:58Speaker 1: young tight end that's been an ice little shining star
- 18:01Speaker 1: for them. And the two other receivers behind Woods or
- 18:06Speaker 1: student me, behind Burke's has been Woods and Westbrook a
- 18:09Speaker 1: Keene and those guys are just guys. Yeah, So how
- 18:13Speaker 1: does Tennessee with a con quote? Now, I mean they
- 18:16Speaker 1: always get tight ends there. They always get these tight
- 18:19Speaker 1: ends that are just pesky guys, and they score against
- 18:22Speaker 1: the Jags all the time. They the reason that they
- 18:24Speaker 1: liked the tight ends is because they're trying to ride
- 18:28Speaker 1: the Derrick Henry train as far as they can. When
- 18:32Speaker 1: you've got a talent like that, it it makes your
- 18:36Speaker 1: defense better when you can run the ball, when you
- 18:38Speaker 1: have the tight ends on the field. If you get
- 18:40Speaker 1: and get a tight end that can block but then
- 18:42Speaker 1: also can be a viable receiver in the passing game.
- 18:46Speaker 1: It it makes that package more useful because you can
- 18:49Speaker 1: run out of it and you can pass out of it.
- 18:52Speaker 1: One of the reasons why they went and got Austin Hooper.
- 18:54Speaker 1: He's a good player, good player. And they got Jeff Swain,
- 18:57Speaker 1: who's you know, was here. He's kind of been a journeyman,
- 19:00Speaker 1: but hes kind of one of those inline blocking tight ends.
- 19:02Speaker 1: He's not gonna catch the ball much, but but that's
- 19:05Speaker 1: what they are. That that's Tennessee Titans football. Strap it up,
- 19:09Speaker 1: get ready for a lot of tight ends, and get
- 19:12Speaker 1: ready to try to stop Derrick Henry, who's damn there
- 19:15Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty pounds. You know. They say he's
- 19:17Speaker 1: less than that, but I would venture to guess that
- 19:19Speaker 1: he's two fifty and uh and they've got a mobile quarterback.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Let's not forget that Tanny Hill can run the football now.
- 19:28Speaker 1: I mean it's not you know, Lamar Jackson running it,
- 19:30Speaker 1: but nobody is mobile enough. He's to get ten yards
- 19:34Speaker 1: on you, uh ten. I think he's had many many
- 19:39Speaker 1: rushes of more than ten against the Jaguars in his history,
- 19:42Speaker 1: he doesn't have to run a lot. He's throwing the
- 19:44Speaker 1: ball very well against the Jags over the years, both
- 19:46Speaker 1: with the Miami Dolphins and now the Tennessee Titans. Of course,
- 19:49Speaker 1: what fifteen touchdowns two interceptions in his career against the Jags,
- 19:53Speaker 1: and that goes back to a couple of games when
- 19:55Speaker 1: he was with the Dolphins. But he's five and oh
- 19:58Speaker 1: with the Titans. Is not umbers are even better when
- 20:01Speaker 1: you look at the averages when he's just been with
- 20:04Speaker 1: the Titans. But I mean part of the reason for
- 20:05Speaker 1: that is that he's had Derrick Henry too. Helps. I
- 20:08Speaker 1: mean every quarterback would love to have Derrick Henry to
- 20:10Speaker 1: be able to produce better average numbers. You know, when
- 20:13Speaker 1: I say average numbers, you know like rating touchdown to
- 20:16Speaker 1: interception ratio. But if you looked at yards passing per game,
- 20:20Speaker 1: they probably wouldn't overly impress you. But quarterbacks that have
- 20:24Speaker 1: great running games can take care of the football and
- 20:27Speaker 1: can be efficient. That's been a proven fact. We're ontint
- 20:30Speaker 1: the next Cell ninety two point five FM Jaguars social
- 20:33Speaker 1: media as well, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Is Jaguars Happy
- 20:36Speaker 1: our JP Shattrick with Jeff Lagoman let's move to the
- 20:38Speaker 1: Titans defense now, and this is a group that ranks
- 20:42Speaker 1: pretty highly in a number of different categories, including third
- 20:45Speaker 1: downs or number one in the league on third down.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I don't get that. How is that? I don't get
- 20:50Speaker 1: that because it's weird, right, number one in third down defense?
- 20:54Speaker 1: But then when you look at them from a past
- 20:56Speaker 1: defense standpoint, there ranked thirty one, which is set and
- 21:00Speaker 1: worst in the National Football League. How does that happen? Um? Odd?
- 21:06Speaker 1: Because you know they're running offense that doesn't score many points,
- 21:09Speaker 1: which also makes that thirty first ranking and pass yards
- 21:13Speaker 1: allowed kind of odd. Uh. The reality is is that
- 21:17Speaker 1: their physical and stout up front, and they got a
- 21:20Speaker 1: really good player in Jeffrey Simmons at defensive tackle. That's
- 21:24Speaker 1: that's the strength. Tough, physical, Jeffrey Simmons. Their weakness their
- 21:29Speaker 1: secondary is not great. I mean, there's gonna be plenty
- 21:34Speaker 1: of opportunities, plenty of opportunities to to take shots down
- 21:39Speaker 1: the field. The one guy that they do have in
- 21:42Speaker 1: the secondary, which is a veteran guy who has been
- 21:45Speaker 1: good for quite sometimes Kevin Byard's safety, but the corner
- 21:49Speaker 1: has been an issue. They drafted Caleb Farley. I think
- 21:51Speaker 1: in the first round out of Virginia Tech, was it
- 21:53Speaker 1: two years ago? Here? Ago? And he can't see the field.
- 21:58Speaker 1: And Roger mc craiy, who they drafted in the second round,
- 22:02Speaker 1: this beast spring out of Auburn, has been kind of
- 22:06Speaker 1: just a guy. So they got guys besides Kevin Byer,
- 22:11Speaker 1: the safety who's got twenty four career in inceptions, I
- 22:15Speaker 1: mean three of them against the Jacks. I mean twenty
- 22:18Speaker 1: four career in inceptions. He's been around. And here's the thing,
- 22:22Speaker 1: seven years. This is the seventh year. Twenty four interceptions
- 22:26Speaker 1: and not even seven complete years. I mean, that's crazy,
- 22:31Speaker 1: crazy number. I mean, there's some guys that I know
- 22:34Speaker 1: that would like to have twenty four sacks in seven years.
- 22:38Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be free. I'm just saying, is
- 22:41Speaker 1: that that's a hell of a number. Twenty four interceptions
- 22:44Speaker 1: and not even seven complete years from the safety. Yet's tremendous.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Is this the most physical all around team the Jaguars
- 22:52Speaker 1: will see this year? Who was or who is Philly?
- 22:57Speaker 1: Philly stacked? Philly's got it, Philly stacked, Stilly Philly is stacked,
- 23:04Speaker 1: and they got even more stacked since the Jaguars the
- 23:07Speaker 1: saw him last time. With the two defensive tackles and
- 23:10Speaker 1: the defensive end that they added to that side of
- 23:12Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, that's that's a team that's destined
- 23:16Speaker 1: to play in a Super Bowl. I mean that's to
- 23:20Speaker 1: me and and Philly just tour apart Tennessee. I mean,
- 23:24Speaker 1: it wasn't even close. You're watching the film, it's like dominance.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Philadelphia just dominated them. Now the Tennessee Titans of old,
- 23:31Speaker 1: where they had this great offensive line and this big, strong,
- 23:37Speaker 1: tough defensive line that maybe had you know, one good
- 23:43Speaker 1: pass rusher, but they were just you know, bloody your nose.
- 23:47Speaker 1: You couldn't run against them. Those days are gone. They're
- 23:51Speaker 1: still tough, they still try to play physical because that's
- 23:54Speaker 1: Mike Rabel's style of coaching, but they don't have the
- 23:58Speaker 1: personnel to execute it like they you to have. That's
- 24:01Speaker 1: one of the reasons why John Robinson has gone again.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I'll say, and here here's here's a here's a guy.
- 24:09Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans now have a left guard that's two
- 24:12Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pounds. Whoa what is this? Isn't
- 24:17Speaker 1: that crazy here? It's it's very odd and to pick
- 24:21Speaker 1: him up and throw him around. All I like the
- 24:23Speaker 1: guy as far as like he plays hard, he's tough,
- 24:25Speaker 1: and he's physical. You kind of I called him a
- 24:27Speaker 1: bulldog the first time I saw him, I was like,
- 24:29Speaker 1: who is this little bulldog guard that they've got? And
- 24:33Speaker 1: his name is Aaron Brewer and he's out of Texas State.
- 24:38Speaker 1: His numbers he has six ft one, two hundred and
- 24:42Speaker 1: seventy four pounds starting left guard. How about that? Okay?
- 24:48Speaker 1: And last week just I'm just gonna throw this out there,
- 24:50Speaker 1: last week might be the toughest guy up there if
- 24:52Speaker 1: he's surviving, and and he's a pretty good player. Now,
- 24:55Speaker 1: I mean he's not a he's not a bad player.
- 24:57Speaker 1: He's he's pretty smart, he's aware, he's physical, he obviously
- 25:00Speaker 1: got great movement. I don't mean in a dark alley
- 25:02Speaker 1: he gets overmatched physically because of his you know, he's
- 25:05Speaker 1: two hundred seventy four pounds. It reminds me of kind
- 25:08Speaker 1: of going back into the old days of Dallas Cowboys
- 25:10Speaker 1: when they had Mark Stepnoski center and Stepnoski weighed probably
- 25:13Speaker 1: two hundred fifty eight pounds, maybe when he was soaking wet.
- 25:17Speaker 1: But this is a guy that is I think an
- 25:21Speaker 1: example of how the Tennessee Titans used to have big, dominant,
- 25:26Speaker 1: physical offensive lineman blocking for Derrick Henry. And that's not big,
- 25:31Speaker 1: dominant physical. I mean, he could be a good player,
- 25:33Speaker 1: but he's two undred seventy four pounds. You gotta win that, right,
- 25:37Speaker 1: I mean you would think you would think so. I
- 25:39Speaker 1: think that's you know, and I was getting ready to
- 25:42Speaker 1: say this last week. I'm just Roy Robertson Harris and
- 25:50Speaker 1: uh Vatakasi got pushed around, pushed around. I got pushed around. Okay,
- 25:56Speaker 1: we got pushed around by Detroit. They better not get
- 26:01Speaker 1: pushed around this week by this Tennessee Titans offensive line.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Those two guys Batacasi, three guys Fotacasi, Roy Robinson, Harris,
- 26:15Speaker 1: and Devon Hamilton's have to play at a at a
- 26:20Speaker 1: better level this week against Tennessee. If you're gonna have success,
- 26:25Speaker 1: those three guys they gotta come to play. If they
- 26:29Speaker 1: don't come to play this week, if they don't play well,
- 26:34Speaker 1: you will have a hard time having success against Tennessee.
- 26:38Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry lay in it out there. Let's come
- 26:42Speaker 1: back in a moment and we'll take a look at
- 26:44Speaker 1: the injury reports. It has just come out. Both teams

- 27:49Speaker 1: it's Week four teen. I'm JP Shadrick with Jeff Lagerman
- 27:54Speaker 1: and the Jaguars have the Titans this week five games
- 27:56Speaker 1: stretch Jaguars down three in the Division two against the
- 28:01Speaker 1: first place team. It's bleak, It's not impossible, but it's
- 28:06Speaker 1: a tough schedule. This week Cowboys, Next week, Short week
- 28:09Speaker 1: on the Road in New York against the improved Jets
- 28:12Speaker 1: team that's right up there in the race, and then
- 28:14Speaker 1: the Texans and the Titans. Again it's it's tough stretch. Well,
- 28:18Speaker 1: I mean they're all tough in the National Football League,
- 28:21Speaker 1: I think, but um, you gotta find your way a
- 28:24Speaker 1: little bit. The one thing that you always want to
- 28:26Speaker 1: see when you have this regime changes we had in
- 28:31Speaker 1: the off season, you get a new head coach teamed
- 28:33Speaker 1: with a general manager that had been in place for
- 28:35Speaker 1: a year. You want to start to see a team
- 28:38Speaker 1: start to ascend to where you can sit there and say, hey,
- 28:44Speaker 1: that's better, that's a positive, that's something good for the future.
- 28:48Speaker 1: The quarterback, obviously, is always the most important thing that
- 28:52Speaker 1: you want to look at and feel good about. I
- 28:54Speaker 1: think right now we all feel good about that. We
- 28:56Speaker 1: feel good about where Trevor started at, where he's at,
- 28:59Speaker 1: and al we feel good about where he's going. But
- 29:03Speaker 1: you still have to see it, and you need to
- 29:06Speaker 1: start seeing some signs in other areas of the football
- 29:09Speaker 1: team that you have invested equity into. And what I
- 29:13Speaker 1: mean by that that's draft picks and that's free agency.
- 29:18Speaker 1: You need to start to see some of those players,
- 29:20Speaker 1: either to continue to contribute, to continue to get better,
- 29:24Speaker 1: or to improve on free agency. You feel good about
- 29:27Speaker 1: Christian Kirkin's a Jones, I means they had a bad
- 29:30Speaker 1: game this past week, but he's had some really good ones.
- 29:32Speaker 1: But he has been I think, really solid, and he's
- 29:35Speaker 1: been a really nice addition to this football team. I
- 29:38Speaker 1: think Evan Ingram is really the right now you would
- 29:42Speaker 1: say it hasn't been a great addition. It's just been okay.
- 29:44Speaker 1: I thought he's done a good job though from the
- 29:46Speaker 1: standpoint of he's been a much more capable blocker I
- 29:50Speaker 1: think than I expected. You'd like to think that some
- 29:54Speaker 1: of your draft picks on defense that you've invested in
- 29:57Speaker 1: recently are contributed, Like Tyson Campbell. You feel good about
- 30:00Speaker 1: Andre Cisco, You feel good about you know, where's Trayvon Walker?
- 30:04Speaker 1: At is he had the position that he needs to
- 30:07Speaker 1: be in. Devin Lloyd has been benched. I mean, so
- 30:10Speaker 1: you know some other draft picks in the pass it
- 30:12Speaker 1: that you've had Walker little where's his future at? You know,
- 30:15Speaker 1: doesn't win a position battle early in the year, maybe
- 30:19Speaker 1: an opportunity to get some playing time, but Shatley has
- 30:22Speaker 1: played exceptionally well while he's been in there, you know. So,
- 30:26Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to start to see the
- 30:28Speaker 1: signs that this team is headed where you want to
- 30:33Speaker 1: see it go? And you've got limited opportunities to be
- 30:37Speaker 1: able to see that happening, and you hope that some
- 30:41Speaker 1: of those signs start to show. This week at Tennessee
- 30:43Speaker 1: became here's a reality for all intensive purposes. Your playoff
- 30:47Speaker 1: bid ended in Detroit. I mean, I don't know what
- 30:51Speaker 1: the percentages are JP, and have you seen them? They're low,
- 30:55Speaker 1: They're like a single digits probability. Why something like that?
- 30:59Speaker 1: And you know running the table. I mean, I know, look,
- 31:02Speaker 1: everything is possible. You're on the table, but you still
- 31:04Speaker 1: need help. You still need Tennessee to lose again. So
- 31:07Speaker 1: no bueno. No, it's not good. I know what no
- 31:11Speaker 1: bueno means. Thank you. I just was interpreting the app
- 31:14Speaker 1: that heads up. It's been a while, so it's seventh
- 31:18Speaker 1: grade Spanish. Um. Alright, So time for the injury report
- 31:21Speaker 1: presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopetic Institute, the
- 31:25Speaker 1: official sports medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jaguars have
- 31:29Speaker 1: four guys on the report. This week. Andre Cisco is
- 31:32Speaker 1: one of those. Didn't play last week game time decision
- 31:35Speaker 1: limited both yesterday and today with that shoulder issue. Zay
- 31:40Speaker 1: Jones with a chest issue, limited Wednesday and Thursday. He
- 31:44Speaker 1: played last week. Of course, Trevor Lawrence with the toe
- 31:48Speaker 1: issue big toe on his left foot, did not practice
- 31:51Speaker 1: yesterday or today. We'll see what happens tomorrow and over
- 31:55Speaker 1: the weekend with him. And linebacker Chad MoMA came out
- 31:58Speaker 1: of the game with an ankle injury and is not
- 32:00Speaker 1: practiced this week. So those are the four for the
- 32:03Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. Let's start with them. We'll get to the
- 32:06Speaker 1: Titans coming up. They have a longer list. So what
- 32:09Speaker 1: about this Muma ankle situation? What about this muma Yeah,
- 32:14Speaker 1: ankles about Chad not this movement ankle situation. It was
- 32:19Speaker 1: being traumatic. Well he You know, the only thing we
- 32:22Speaker 1: can really refer to other than the injury report is
- 32:24Speaker 1: to go back and look at what happened in Detroit.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I don't remember the specific play that he got hurt.
- 32:30Speaker 1: I just remember that he came out of the game
- 32:31Speaker 1: and we saw Devin Lloyd on the field and Chad
- 32:35Speaker 1: had his ankle spatted up retaped a whole nine yards
- 32:38Speaker 1: and well that I think he tried to come back in,
- 32:41Speaker 1: but it wasn't very comfortable for him, I guess, And
- 32:45Speaker 1: you know that's unfortunate, you know, because he just got
- 32:47Speaker 1: in the lineup, was given an opportunity, and I think
- 32:49Speaker 1: he'd been playing better than Devin Lloyd had been playing.
- 32:53Speaker 1: So if he can't go, then it's I guess, back
- 32:56Speaker 1: to Devon Lloyd. And which is a great opportunity for
- 32:59Speaker 1: Devon Lloyd. And can he bounced back after having been
- 33:03Speaker 1: replacing the lineup for the last two games. We we
- 33:06Speaker 1: don't know. We're gonna have to wait and see, and
- 33:09Speaker 1: then we'll wait and see if Chad Muma can be
- 33:12Speaker 1: able to play well. So he didn't practice yesterday, he
- 33:14Speaker 1: didn't practice today. Both days, did not practice. Trevor didn't
- 33:18Speaker 1: practice yesterday, didn't practice today. Neither one of those guys
- 33:22Speaker 1: is trending in the right direction. But with Trevor, because
- 33:28Speaker 1: we've heard from him, you feel that there's a chance there.
- 33:34Speaker 1: I don't know, want to say it's a good chance,
- 33:36Speaker 1: but you feel like there's a chance. And with Muma,
- 33:41Speaker 1: you know, maybe not, I don't know. So they's put
- 33:44Speaker 1: they put Devon back in if he's not available, I
- 33:46Speaker 1: would think, I mean, I mean, if other options are there, well,
- 33:51Speaker 1: if you don't quarterman right, then you're changing special teams around. Well,
- 33:57Speaker 1: it's like there's there's a domino effect of that if
- 33:59Speaker 1: you go to show a quarterman. I mean, I'm not
- 34:02Speaker 1: trying to offend Shack. I think Shack is a good
- 34:04Speaker 1: football player, But what does that say about your first
- 34:07Speaker 1: round pick linebacks? If that would be would be the case.
- 34:14Speaker 1: So I think it will be Devin Lloyd. Okay, he's
- 34:18Speaker 1: now he gets an opportunity of two weeks kind of
- 34:20Speaker 1: sitting off the I don't say sitting off the side,
- 34:23Speaker 1: because he was playing some snaps of defense and then
- 34:26Speaker 1: he was playing on special teams and he came in
- 34:28Speaker 1: relief for the injured Chadmuma last week. So I don't
- 34:31Speaker 1: want to say that he's been doing nothing, but here's
- 34:33Speaker 1: an opportunity that he's gonna have at being a starter again.
- 34:39Speaker 1: What's he gonna be able to do with that opportunity.
- 34:41Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be interesting to see how he plays.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Can he show that he has improved with having had
- 34:48Speaker 1: the opportunity to watch from the sideline for a couple
- 34:50Speaker 1: of weeks. I don't know. We'll see j P performance
- 34:53Speaker 1: will speak. Let's say you look at the Tennessee Titans
- 34:56Speaker 1: side of the injury report. It's a long list. Six
- 35:00Speaker 1: players have not practiced this week at all, and I
- 35:04Speaker 1: believe I've got four of them as starters. Three of
- 35:07Speaker 1: those on defense to Deniko Autry outside line starter Knee
- 35:12Speaker 1: Indry did not practice yesterday or today. Trey Avery's a
- 35:15Speaker 1: backup corner concussion out the last two days. Been playing
- 35:19Speaker 1: a lot recently, by the way, in their nickel packages,
- 35:22Speaker 1: So that's a contributor of that. Tout c J Board
- 35:26Speaker 1: wide receiver Ribissue has not practiced. He actually was here
- 35:29Speaker 1: for quite some time, and he is um. He's actually
- 35:33Speaker 1: a pretty decent player. Uh, I mean for Tennessee. He
- 35:37Speaker 1: probably deserved more opportunities than he's gotten. Trailan Burke's concussion
- 35:42Speaker 1: has not practiced this week starter yep. And a rookie
- 35:46Speaker 1: Christian Fulton cornerback growing issue star starter Yeah. Linebacker David
- 35:51Speaker 1: Long hamstring harter and uh, from what I understand, he
- 35:55Speaker 1: had a pretty good hamstring. Well it's a bad hamstring. Well,
- 35:59Speaker 1: there's no I don't know if they're a good, good
- 36:02Speaker 1: or a bad. Hanstraight's they're all bad, but from good.
- 36:07Speaker 1: He wouldn't be on here. Yeah supposedly he uh, he
- 36:11Speaker 1: pulled up pretty good. Oh that's not good, all right.
- 36:14Speaker 1: And then a couple of guys limited both days. Nate Davis,
- 36:17Speaker 1: a guard with a knee, and he's their best guard.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Now he's there, he might be him in the center,
- 36:25Speaker 1: Ben Jones. Those are the two best lineman for the
- 36:29Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Um Hassan Haskins running back hip injury back,
- 36:34Speaker 1: UM limited the first two days. He scored five touchdowns
- 36:37Speaker 1: against Ohio State last season. By the way, UM Derrick
- 36:40Speaker 1: Henry not injury related. He did not practice. Ben Jones
- 36:44Speaker 1: full to day, not injury related. And then Jeffrey Simmons
- 36:47Speaker 1: is on their new today limited yesterday, did not practice
- 36:50Speaker 1: today with an ankle injury. He's just he's been beat
- 36:54Speaker 1: up though lately. Um, the Jeffrey Simmons that I've watched
- 37:00Speaker 1: in previous games this year at early part of the
- 37:02Speaker 1: season was dominant, and I've only watched the one game
- 37:05Speaker 1: so far. That's not the Jeffrey Simmons that I'm used
- 37:11Speaker 1: to watching. I mean, he's still really good player, don't
- 37:14Speaker 1: get me. Yeah, I think he's a fourth year but
- 37:18Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking this guy is normally one of
- 37:22Speaker 1: the top three defensive tackles in the league, and I
- 37:26Speaker 1: don't know if he's quite playing to that level right now.
- 37:29Speaker 1: He's playing good, but not not in that top three
- 37:33Speaker 1: where he was at. And Ryan Tannehill upgraded a full
- 37:36Speaker 1: today with an ankle issue, and then defensive tackle Tre's
- 37:39Speaker 1: hearts with an ankle injury has been limited both yesterday
- 37:42Speaker 1: and today. He's a strutter as well. Yeah, he's a
- 37:44Speaker 1: starting good player. Third year guy. Florida International University defensive
- 37:48Speaker 1: guys on the list, undrafted guy that's actually pretty stout
- 37:51Speaker 1: up in the middle. That actually pretty good pair when
- 37:53Speaker 1: you got Tart and uh uh Simmons in the lineup.
- 37:58Speaker 1: I mean two two pretty good defensive tackles now and
- 38:01Speaker 1: kind of kind of opposite of how they got the league.
- 38:03Speaker 1: You know, one undrafted one's first round pick. So that's
- 38:06Speaker 1: a it's a long list for Tennessee and again, uh
- 38:10Speaker 1: relative to years past, a shortlist this time of year
- 38:13Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knock on wood that continues all year,
- 38:16Speaker 1: all year long. I mean That's the crazy thing is
- 38:19Speaker 1: that this football team has been healthiest's healthiest. It's I
- 38:25Speaker 1: believe it's ever been. Feel that when you say so,
- 38:28Speaker 1: I mean I don't remember. I don't ever remember a
- 38:31Speaker 1: season that this team has played with everybody for the
- 38:37Speaker 1: most part. And I saw I heard that there was
- 38:40Speaker 1: a stat that this team has played with the fewest
- 38:42Speaker 1: players of the season. Yet that was the league. That
- 38:44Speaker 1: was last week and it's still true today. First eight
- 38:48Speaker 1: players have played. That is the fewest amount of players
- 38:50Speaker 1: to play in a game in the NFL this year. That,
- 38:53Speaker 1: I mean, that's impressive. The most, by the way, the
- 38:55Speaker 1: Cardinals have had seventy seven. Titans have had seventy six. Yeah,
- 39:02Speaker 1: second most. Yeah, that's uh, that's that's impressive. I mean,
- 39:07Speaker 1: credit the players, credit the staff, and a lot of luck. Yeah,
- 39:12Speaker 1: it comes into it as well. If you're looking for
- 39:14Speaker 1: the m v P of the truck game, then look
- 39:16Speaker 1: no further than Ford F one fifty. Loaded with impressive

- 41:12Speaker 1: Where tickets and more visit Daily's Place dot com today. Alright,
- 41:18Speaker 1: so the Jaguars and the Titans. Of course, the Titans
- 41:21Speaker 1: have dominated the recent series history and really the entire
- 41:25Speaker 1: series history if you want to go all the way
- 41:27Speaker 1: back story to remind you logs, but certainly recently all
- 41:31Speaker 1: time thirty three and twenty one in the regular season
- 41:33Speaker 1: in favor of Tennessee slash Houston, and want to know
- 41:36Speaker 1: in the playoffs fourteen and six since and then they've
- 41:41Speaker 1: won the last five straight and nine of the last ten.
- 41:44Speaker 1: The average score in the current five game losing skid
- 41:47Speaker 1: against Tennessee is just about just over thirty two and
- 41:51Speaker 1: a half thirty two point six to fifteen point eight.
- 41:54Speaker 1: So they blown them out. The Titans have dominated most
- 41:57Speaker 1: every one of them, and as we mentioned earlier, the
- 41:59Speaker 1: last win and now sh Field was in Week ten,
- 42:03Speaker 1: the first win of the season by the way, they
- 42:05Speaker 1: started oh at eight, had the bye week, went to Nashville.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Jaguars beat the Titans. That was the Will Blackman sack
- 42:14Speaker 1: fumble return touchdown game to go up two scores with
- 42:17Speaker 1: like two forty to play. In the fourth was the
- 42:20Speaker 1: quad infecting game, the quad infected game, sack calls, fumble,
- 42:23Speaker 1: recovered fumble, touch touchdown and that put him up twenty nine.
- 42:27Speaker 1: What and then the Titans scored a touchdown late, making
- 42:30Speaker 1: a two point games Will Blackman in London, Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah,
- 42:36Speaker 1: it's been a lot of dominance by Tennessee. And the
- 42:40Speaker 1: reality is is that we can say it's a rivalry,
- 42:44Speaker 1: but until you get competitive and it's not where Mike
- 42:49Speaker 1: rabel is seven and one against the Jaguars, then it
- 42:52Speaker 1: becomes a true rivalry. Until then, I don't know if
- 42:57Speaker 1: they look at it as a rivalry. We do just
- 43:00Speaker 1: because of nineteen nine, do they? I mean, a lot
- 43:06Speaker 1: of Jaguar fans don't even remember that weren't even born then.
- 43:10Speaker 1: A one of them, honestly, Fisher, yeah, Jeff Fisher, Eddie George,
- 43:16Speaker 1: somebody you see in NFL films at yeah, you got
- 43:20Speaker 1: you gotta change, you gotta change your direction, and then
- 43:23Speaker 1: then you'll have rivalries, you know, when you start to
- 43:25Speaker 1: get better. But until then, no, you're you're not a
- 43:29Speaker 1: rival for anybody. Would this, um, do you believe in
- 43:33Speaker 1: sending a message to the division? Maybe not for this year,
- 43:36Speaker 1: but for the future if you send No. No, That's
- 43:41Speaker 1: why I asked the question. You send a message when
- 43:44Speaker 1: you start winning on a regular basis. That's when you
- 43:46Speaker 1: send a message. Okay, I mean, you can't play one
- 43:50Speaker 1: game and oh my gosh, it was the game heard
- 43:54Speaker 1: round the world. No, you have to win games. You
- 43:59Speaker 1: have to be good, you have to play well. It's
- 44:03Speaker 1: not one time thing where you oh yeah we won,
- 44:06Speaker 1: we yeah, we beat Tennessee. Well, okay, so the last
- 44:10Speaker 1: two teams that played other teams this year, right, and
- 44:13Speaker 1: here's the reality. You would be the first team that
- 44:17Speaker 1: would beat Tennessee that has a losing record. Yeah, that's true.
- 44:21Speaker 1: They feast on bad teams. Okay, so that might be
- 44:24Speaker 1: a positive, But is that going to send this message
- 44:28Speaker 1: that they're gonna hear around the world. No, no, no,
- 44:33Speaker 1: because the Titans right now are still headed to the
- 44:36Speaker 1: division title, which would be what their third consecutive and
- 44:41Speaker 1: even though they're not playing well, it's still rather comfortable
- 44:43Speaker 1: for them in terms of the division race. I didn't deal. Look,
- 44:47Speaker 1: I think Mike Rabel challenged his football team this week
- 44:50Speaker 1: and then he did it on Monday. He talked openly
- 44:55Speaker 1: about his team being at a crossroads in his press
- 44:59Speaker 1: comp prints and which is kind of odd, does it
- 45:02Speaker 1: hear from a first place team, by the way, that's
- 45:05Speaker 1: two games up on the second place Colts. But I mean,
- 45:09Speaker 1: and like I said, I think that he did that
- 45:10Speaker 1: because he was wanting to challenge his team. But the
- 45:13Speaker 1: reality is that that they haven't played well. And he
- 45:17Speaker 1: said that teams, when they get to this point of season,
- 45:19Speaker 1: they either get better or they get worse. And if
- 45:24Speaker 1: they get better, then they can challenge in the playoffs.
- 45:26Speaker 1: And right now Tennessee is not playing well enough to
- 45:30Speaker 1: where they can challenge in the playoffs. That's why I
- 45:32Speaker 1: said that I feel good about this matchup. I mean,
- 45:35Speaker 1: I feel good about it for so many different reasons.
- 45:37Speaker 1: You know that they don't score a lot of points
- 45:39Speaker 1: on offense. Derrick Henry has been off the mark the
- 45:42Speaker 1: last four games, Okay, they have protection issues with their tackles. Defensively,
- 45:47Speaker 1: they give up big plays in the passing game. Okay,
- 45:51Speaker 1: they're out some starters on defense, you know, their premier
- 45:55Speaker 1: edge player, their best inside linebacker, their best corner or
- 45:58Speaker 1: at least the guy that was draft that to be
- 46:00Speaker 1: their best corner. I mean, there's an opportunity. There's gonna
- 46:03Speaker 1: be an opportunity in Nashville. And I'm not saying that
- 46:06Speaker 1: they should Okay, I'm just saying that there's an opportunity
- 46:10Speaker 1: because this team shouldn't beat anybody right now the way
- 46:13Speaker 1: they're planned, but they have an opportunity to beat the
- 46:17Speaker 1: Titans because this is not the Titans of old to are.
- 46:21Speaker 1: They're just physical and rolling and they're great, and they're
- 46:25Speaker 1: great defense, and they're kicking button a run game. I mean,
- 46:28Speaker 1: that's not Tennessee right now. Tennessee is good and they've
- 46:34Speaker 1: got a good coach, but they've got plenty of chinks
- 46:38Speaker 1: in their armor. Plenty. You know. I felt like early
- 46:42Speaker 1: last week, after the first quarter or so, it's like
- 46:45Speaker 1: this just doesn't feel right, is there? I wonder why
- 46:48Speaker 1: you think that. I mean, maybe the fumble, the drops,
- 46:51Speaker 1: the lack of score deficit all that early, But will
- 46:56Speaker 1: there be a point in this game the same way
- 46:58Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, a quarter in this feels okay,
- 47:01Speaker 1: they can hang or this is gonna be a long
- 47:03Speaker 1: I don't think there's I mean, even at even the
- 47:06Speaker 1: game in Detroit, just like the game in Oakland, you
- 47:09Speaker 1: don't feel good about it. But then like Oakland, it
- 47:11Speaker 1: came back started putting some things Vegas tea. I made
- 47:16Speaker 1: myself in promise to not say Vegas or Raiders. I
- 47:19Speaker 1: should have just said. I always said, just say just
- 47:21Speaker 1: like Redskins, don't say you know Redskins, just just say Washington.
- 47:28Speaker 1: You know, Raiders say Washington anyway, can continue anyway anyway,
- 47:35Speaker 1: I lost my training. That's that's what it is. So
- 47:37Speaker 1: you gotta keep playing well and and started early. Carry
- 47:41Speaker 1: that momentum as the game here. If you can get
- 47:44Speaker 1: a fast start, which I think you'd love to have
- 47:47Speaker 1: fast start in every game, and this team hasn't exactly
- 47:49Speaker 1: had a fast start yet, I would say, like, I mean,
- 47:54Speaker 1: when's the last fast start game they had Indie Indy?
- 48:00Speaker 1: Maybe Okay, if you have a fast start game, you
- 48:04Speaker 1: put Tennessee and not when I'm a fast start okay,
- 48:07Speaker 1: score in the first couple, two out of three first
- 48:09Speaker 1: possessions and get you know, ten points up on the
- 48:12Speaker 1: scoreboard something like that. The reason why that, of course
- 48:16Speaker 1: that would help everybody, and everybody loves to get up
- 48:18Speaker 1: ten points. But you put Tennessee a little bit out
- 48:23Speaker 1: of their comfort zone because they may feel that they
- 48:27Speaker 1: have to start throwing the ball, which is not what
- 48:30Speaker 1: they like to do. They like to pan the ball
- 48:33Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry and and stay balanced. If you can
- 48:37Speaker 1: find a way to get them out of that comfort
- 48:39Speaker 1: zone because they they love to play front running football,
- 48:45Speaker 1: have a lead, run the ball, you know, play physical,
- 48:48Speaker 1: play good defense. Get them out of that comfort zone.
- 48:51Speaker 1: What do you want to hear from head coach Doug
- 48:53Speaker 1: Peterson coming up? We're inside two minutes away from the
- 48:56Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show, in fact a minute and a half,
- 48:58Speaker 1: right now, Wow, I think first and foremost, you want
- 49:01Speaker 1: to see how you react to that game. You know,
- 49:05Speaker 1: you go back to the to the early part of
- 49:07Speaker 1: the season. They had this this little saying, so what now,
- 49:10Speaker 1: what right I was the saying that they had, Well,
- 49:12Speaker 1: doesn't that kind of apply here too? I want to
- 49:14Speaker 1: ask him that I want to find out about his
- 49:17Speaker 1: quarterback obviously that's question number one, and also want to
- 49:22Speaker 1: find out about ball security with Travis E. T N.
- 49:27Speaker 1: Can't put it on the deck undrops, I mean, you know,
- 49:31Speaker 1: how do you how do you bounce back? I mean
- 49:33Speaker 1: these are these are all questions that we all want
- 49:37Speaker 1: to hear his thoughts on, and most importantly, we all
- 49:41Speaker 1: want to see how the reaction is and the performance
- 49:44Speaker 1: is going to be this week in Tennessee. We are
- 49:47Speaker 1: moments away from finding out from the Jaguars head coach
- 49:50Speaker 1: that will do it for Jaguars Happy Hour. Joe Fortunado
