0:02
Speaker 1: It's Thursday October. This is Jaguars Happy Hour and now
0:11
Speaker 1: the real reason crystals are open twenty four hours. J
0:16
Speaker 1: Peace shad Rick a proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yes,
0:23
Speaker 1: welcome in. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday, Week seven,
0:27
Speaker 1: the Jags are headed to Los Angeles to face the Chargers. J. P. Shadrick,
0:31
Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman coming up, We've got a busy show today,
0:35
Speaker 1: a Jags Chargers preview. The Jags had a SOFI stadium
0:39
Speaker 1: for the first time. The offense against the Chargers defense
0:43
Speaker 1: led by Gus Bradley. What can Gardner Minshew do to
0:47
Speaker 1: get jump started and get this group going consistently? The
0:51
Speaker 1: defense facing Justin Herbert, one of the top quarterbacks in
0:54
Speaker 1: the draft this year. He is on the field now
0:57
Speaker 1: for l A and The Doug Moron Show starting at
1:01
Speaker 1: five o'clock an hour from now. The head coach will
1:03
Speaker 1: join us from his office. Jeff Logerman, Good afternoon, five
1:09
Speaker 1: games skid. They've gotta break this streak somehow this week. Yeah, yeah,
1:15
Speaker 1: and uh and the Chargers are saying the same thing. JP.
1:19
Speaker 1: You know, they've had a lot of positive thoughts and
1:21
Speaker 1: a lot of positive reinforcement over the last four weeks
1:24
Speaker 1: with a young quarterback at the hell and they're feeling
1:27
Speaker 1: pretty good about where they are as a franchise just
1:29
Speaker 1: because of the play of the quarterback. But yet they've
1:31
Speaker 1: lost four in a row. So they're looking at the
1:34
Speaker 1: Jaguars as an opportunity to get off the skid and
1:36
Speaker 1: get on the winning side. Let's hear from the Jaguars
1:41
Speaker 1: quarterback Gardner Minshew. It can be frustrating when things aren't
1:45
Speaker 1: going well. Certainly they have not been on the defensive side.
1:48
Speaker 1: We'll get to that coming up. The offense is sputtered
1:51
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks as well, but the quarterback,
1:54
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshi, is trying not to let the frustration change
1:57
Speaker 1: his focus or the offenses. You know, it's one of
2:00
Speaker 1: those things, you know, it's easy to get frustrated. Uh,
2:03
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's sometimes hard to find the bright
2:06
Speaker 1: side of things. But that's that's what we have to do.
2:08
Speaker 1: And I think that's what we are doing right now. Um.
2:11
Speaker 1: You know, I think we have everybody trying to pull together,
2:13
Speaker 1: trying to find solutions that some great conversations already this week. Um,
2:18
Speaker 1: and you know, just trying to find and getting back
2:21
Speaker 1: to that excitement that we were playing with earlier in
2:23
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, Lives. They had some success early in
2:29
Speaker 1: this season, certainly and Week one and then the rally
2:32
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and Week two, but since then they've they've
2:36
Speaker 1: just kind of sputtered offensively as a whole. How do
2:40
Speaker 1: you jump and start this offense? We gotta play better.
2:45
Speaker 1: I mean, you can talk about it all you want,
2:47
Speaker 1: you know, as Gardner Minshew said, they're having good conversations,
2:50
Speaker 1: but the reality is it comes down to performance and
2:54
Speaker 1: the performance of all the players. Then Gardner Mischeu himself
2:58
Speaker 1: is not playing very well. If you look at his
3:00
Speaker 1: performance in week one, an incredible performance, you know, completion
3:04
Speaker 1: percentage through the roof. But since that time, it's almost
3:08
Speaker 1: like he's regressed or gotten worse. I mean that's if
3:11
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, and you certainly compare the
3:14
Speaker 1: numbers to this past week to the first week, I
3:16
Speaker 1: mean you would say, yeah, what why is that? You know?
3:20
Speaker 1: So uh? I mean that's the only solution to this
3:24
Speaker 1: team trying to find a way to win is that
3:27
Speaker 1: better performances. And it's got to be better performances across
3:30
Speaker 1: the board, from the coaching staff to the offensive line,
3:34
Speaker 1: to the quarterback to the wide receivers, even though they
3:37
Speaker 1: say that they're open. Uh, you can always be more.
3:42
Speaker 1: You can always do a little bit more, but within
3:45
Speaker 1: the realm of your job description. And uh. And defensively,
3:49
Speaker 1: obviously they can do well to the last few games
3:52
Speaker 1: have given up a ton of points and he just
3:54
Speaker 1: can't do that. And I know that that's a league trend,
3:57
Speaker 1: but that's you don't sit there and go okay, okay,
4:00
Speaker 1: it's just the way the league is. Everybody's given up
4:02
Speaker 1: a bunch of points, and it's okay. If we give
4:03
Speaker 1: a bunch of points, you gotta be better on defense
4:06
Speaker 1: as well, JP. I mean, it's only it's an entire
4:08
Speaker 1: team effort, and even even all the way special teams.
4:11
Speaker 1: You hope to get Josh Lambeau this week back so
4:14
Speaker 1: that maybe you call the game a little differently, because
4:16
Speaker 1: in last week's game, the lack of success in your
4:20
Speaker 1: kicking certainly impacted the play call and then the decision
4:24
Speaker 1: making in the ball game where you decided to go
4:25
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down, where if you were you know,
4:28
Speaker 1: Josh lambo is on the sideline and he's warm. You
4:31
Speaker 1: you're going there's no way that we're gonna go ahead
4:33
Speaker 1: and go for it on that fourth down situation, we're
4:36
Speaker 1: gonna kick it. Well, that can lost JP there for
4:59
Speaker 1: a minute, you know. And in the Detroit Lions game,
5:01
Speaker 1: one of the big reasons why I think that that
5:05
Speaker 1: the defense struggled was just to play of the defensive
5:10
Speaker 1: tackles in the interior of that defense, and you know,
5:12
Speaker 1: you kind of combine that with an unhealthy Miles Jack.
5:18
Speaker 1: I mean, it just made it a tough day for
5:19
Speaker 1: the defense overall. You know. And and this was a
5:22
Speaker 1: game that JP we talked about before the game about how, hey,
5:26
Speaker 1: look if we if the Jaguars can find a way
5:29
Speaker 1: to keep Matt Stafford's feet from being settled because he
5:32
Speaker 1: hasn't been very good, then they got a great chance
5:35
Speaker 1: of winning the ball game. You know. The unfortunate side
5:38
Speaker 1: of things is is they had no impact on Matt Stafford.
5:41
Speaker 1: But the positive is that Matt Stafford still didn't play
5:43
Speaker 1: very well. But what you allowed was the Detroit Lions
5:47
Speaker 1: two do what teams have been doing to them, and
5:51
Speaker 1: that's run the ball with extreme success. And it didn't
5:54
Speaker 1: seem to matter which running back was in here. I
5:56
Speaker 1: know EP wasn't as successful as the young man from
5:59
Speaker 1: George it was, but but the Jaguars got cashed. And uh,
6:03
Speaker 1: and that's kind of a little uncharacteristic. The Jaguars had
6:06
Speaker 1: been pretty good against runt so far this year, but
6:09
Speaker 1: in that Detroit game was like, where where did run
6:11
Speaker 1: defense go? I mean, it's just not very good? Right, Yeah,
6:16
Speaker 1: that that was an issue and it's been an issue
6:19
Speaker 1: certainly early in games for this defense. But but bringing
6:22
Speaker 1: it back around at your point earlier about complementary football.
6:25
Speaker 1: It's a full team effort defense. Given up points early,
6:28
Speaker 1: that means the offense has to play catch up, especially
6:31
Speaker 1: in the second half of games when they're down. Gardner
6:34
Speaker 1: Minshew Logs leads the league in completions this year and
6:37
Speaker 1: he's third and attempts. That is not a statistic you wanted.
6:43
Speaker 1: If you're a Jaguars offensive coach this year, Gardner meant
6:46
Speaker 1: you to lead the league in completions. That's not the
6:48
Speaker 1: way this offense, at least when it's gone well, has
6:52
Speaker 1: not performed well. When when he's throwing the ball around
6:55
Speaker 1: the yard, well, look, I don't don't think that's that's
6:59
Speaker 1: not bad number if Gardner minshoo is leading the league
7:02
Speaker 1: in completion, because you know, part of you know, looking
7:05
Speaker 1: at that as you've gotta go, okay, well, what's the
7:07
Speaker 1: completion percentage? And so if you've got a high number
7:10
Speaker 1: completions and completion percentage is really good and the yards
7:14
Speaker 1: per tempt is really good and you're getting wins, what's
7:17
Speaker 1: wrong with that? Nothing? But when you combine that the
7:21
Speaker 1: completions are high and that when when the weight of
7:26
Speaker 1: the offense is on him, they're not able to perform
7:29
Speaker 1: and not able to play at a high level, then
7:32
Speaker 1: that's a concern. You know, if it's Patrick Mahomes and
7:35
Speaker 1: he's leading the league in completion, do you think we're
7:37
Speaker 1: worried about that. No, we're not worried about that because
7:41
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes he's scoring, you know, and the reality is
7:45
Speaker 1: that Gardner Minshew's not scoring. Gardner Minshew is not playing
7:48
Speaker 1: very well right now. So I think it's all kind
7:52
Speaker 1: of perspective JP And sometimes when you look at numbers,
7:55
Speaker 1: I mean you can kind of spit out different numbers
7:58
Speaker 1: and say, okay, well this is you know, an example
8:00
Speaker 1: of why they aren't successful because Gardner Minshew was leading
8:02
Speaker 1: the league in completions or whatever. But I mean that
8:06
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily always tell the story. But the eye test
8:09
Speaker 1: tells you that Gardner Minshew was not playing at a
8:11
Speaker 1: good enough level. I thought that this past game against Detroit,
8:15
Speaker 1: I think the coaching staff didn't have a great game.
8:18
Speaker 1: I thought that because Detroit was playing a lot of
8:21
Speaker 1: forty six and load the box, stack in the box,
8:24
Speaker 1: you know, fortifying that run defense. You gotta loosen them
8:26
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and you can't kind of keep
8:29
Speaker 1: sitting there trying to, you know, pound your head into
8:30
Speaker 1: that brick wall when that brick wall is just not
8:32
Speaker 1: given and it's just adding bricks, you know. I mean
8:35
Speaker 1: that's kind of what it was. And but when they
8:37
Speaker 1: did decide the path and Gardner Minshew wasn't able to
8:40
Speaker 1: beat it, and uh, and that's a problem because if
8:42
Speaker 1: if you're seeing run fortified fronts and you're not having
8:45
Speaker 1: success throwing the football against that, what are you gonna
8:50
Speaker 1: do when all of a sudden they back off and
8:53
Speaker 1: play cover two and they're not playing a run fortified defense.
8:56
Speaker 1: You know. So, uh, a lot of things that didn't
8:59
Speaker 1: go very well for the Jaguars in this past game,
9:01
Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of people that probably
9:04
Speaker 1: wish they had a redo on that one. All right,
9:08
Speaker 1: loves this week. The Los Angeles Chargers defense, led by
9:12
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley, former Jaguars head coach. Of course, Um, they've
9:17
Speaker 1: got a pass rush up front, the linebackers can run.
9:21
Speaker 1: What kind of defense have they played in l A
9:23
Speaker 1: this year? Well, they've been banged up now for the
9:28
Speaker 1: Charges defense. You know, I've working on my game board
9:31
Speaker 1: earlier today. JP. And when you look at him from
9:33
Speaker 1: a from an injury standpoint, yes, Bossa is still out there.
9:37
Speaker 1: But Melvin Ingram has had a knee. He is on
9:40
Speaker 1: i R and I think he's designated a return, but
9:43
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like he's gonna be able to play
9:46
Speaker 1: this week from some of the reports coming out of
9:48
Speaker 1: l A. Also Chris Harris, the former Denver Bronco cornerback
9:52
Speaker 1: who they signed as a free agency he is on
9:55
Speaker 1: injured reserve with a foot. You also have defensive tackle
9:59
Speaker 1: Justin Jones, who has been really good run stuff in
10:01
Speaker 1: defensive tackle that is not available for the Chargers. So look,
10:06
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley and his defense, they they kind of had
10:09
Speaker 1: a little bit of an up and down start and
10:10
Speaker 1: you know, and that's not even to mention Derwin James
10:13
Speaker 1: is not available for them. And if you look in
10:15
Speaker 1: their last four games, three out of their last four games,
10:18
Speaker 1: they've given up over four hundred yards a game. So
10:22
Speaker 1: this Chargers defense is not They're not great, okay, but
10:26
Speaker 1: it's a good defense. And and here's the reality. You
10:28
Speaker 1: should know this defense as they should know yours. And
10:31
Speaker 1: I think that's where the interesting chess match is gonna
10:34
Speaker 1: be here in my opinion, because you know, Todd Wash
10:38
Speaker 1: and Gus Bradley are running very similar type defenses. Now
10:41
Speaker 1: when you get the third down, they have some different packages.
10:44
Speaker 1: But which which coach do you know better? You know?
10:48
Speaker 1: Do the Jaguars No Gusts better or do the the
10:51
Speaker 1: Chargers because of Gus Bradley teaching Todd Wash, do they
10:54
Speaker 1: know the Jaguars better? You know? And do they try
10:57
Speaker 1: to change things up a little bit for that element
11:00
Speaker 1: of surprise this week? I don't know, but I think
11:02
Speaker 1: it's kind of an interesting chess match. You know, within
11:05
Speaker 1: the game, a lot of it will depend obviously on
11:10
Speaker 1: what personnel is available for the Jaguars defense and the
11:13
Speaker 1: Jaguars injury report has come out today. Avery Jones did
11:18
Speaker 1: not practice today. It was limited yesterday with an ankle issue.
11:22
Speaker 1: He missed last week's game. Of course, Miles Jack has
11:24
Speaker 1: not practiced yesterday or today coming off his ankle issue.
11:29
Speaker 1: Gots has had a scheduled day off today. On the
11:32
Speaker 1: offensive side, A j Can did not practice today with
11:35
Speaker 1: a foot and knee issue. Effort did not practice. Jared
11:38
Speaker 1: Wilson is not practiced this week on the defensive side.
11:40
Speaker 1: So to the defensive point there, if Avery is not around,
11:43
Speaker 1: Miles Jack's not around, that's uh, those are two big
11:46
Speaker 1: keys to this defense. Logs well, I mean three Avery,
11:54
Speaker 1: Miles Jack, and let's not forget about Jared Wilson, you know,
11:58
Speaker 1: and correct and all three of them obviously are not
12:01
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction, you know, because every goes
12:04
Speaker 1: from limited to out, and then Miles was out and
12:07
Speaker 1: out and then you have what maybe a re injury
12:11
Speaker 1: of a hamstring, which now sudden you're talking about a
12:15
Speaker 1: much longer recovery because maybe it was an existing And
12:18
Speaker 1: I'm guessing here, I'm not a doctor, I just play
12:20
Speaker 1: one on TV. But uh, you know that's gonna be
12:24
Speaker 1: a tough loss if you don't have those three guys available.
12:27
Speaker 1: Now you do get maybe Josh Allen back this week.
12:31
Speaker 1: He seems to be trending in the right direction. But
12:35
Speaker 1: you know when Josh and Catavan Chaison were out there
12:38
Speaker 1: together on on on each each side, you know, it
12:42
Speaker 1: wasn't like they were just kicking button taking names out
12:45
Speaker 1: there anyway. You know, those are two guys that they
12:48
Speaker 1: got to get better too for their football team. All right,
12:53
Speaker 1: Logs will come back in just a moment and get
12:55
Speaker 1: into this defense a little bit more. Josh Allen limited
12:59
Speaker 1: the first couple of is this week. What could he
13:01
Speaker 1: bring to this defensive unit? This week? Jabol shared is
13:05
Speaker 1: no longer on the team. He's with the New York Giants.
13:07
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. And here from head coach dugmaron
13:09

17:18

Speaker 1: with the four Eastern time kickoff Sunday at so Far
18:04
Speaker 1: Stadium in Los Angeles. The Jaguars defense Josh Allen, back
18:09
Speaker 1: on the practice field this week in a limited capacity.
18:12
Speaker 1: He did visit with the media today about the thirty
18:15
Speaker 1: minutes before the show started, so that's a good sign.
18:18
Speaker 1: He was held out of last week's media conference. Um,
18:21
Speaker 1: so we'll see. He didn't commit to being ready to
18:23
Speaker 1: go or anything, but um, they'd be huge obviously to
18:27
Speaker 1: have him back and available for the defense. Legs. Yeah,
18:32
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they need to find a way to
18:36
Speaker 1: to affect the quarterback and uh, and find a way
18:39
Speaker 1: to affect the quarterback without bringing the blitz. And the
18:41
Speaker 1: only way that you can affect the quarterback without bringing
18:44
Speaker 1: the blitz is by having your your front four guys,
18:47
Speaker 1: Win and Josh. Even though he needs to play better,
18:51
Speaker 1: he is their best guy when it comes to pass rush.
18:55
Speaker 1: And the Chargers are having a little bit of an
18:57
Speaker 1: issue with their offensive line j p uh. They've had
19:01
Speaker 1: issues from the very get go. Now, the left side
19:04
Speaker 1: of the offensive line is pretty much where it's at
19:07
Speaker 1: with Sam Tevy and Forced Lamp, but they've had to
19:10
Speaker 1: do a little bit of adjusting because Mike Pouncey had
19:13
Speaker 1: a hip issue and he's been unable to play, and
19:16
Speaker 1: so they moved Feenie the guard over the center and
19:20
Speaker 1: then Trey Turner, who they acquired in the Russell Okung trade.
19:24
Speaker 1: That's why Tevy's playing left tackle. Trey Turner they got
19:28
Speaker 1: him in trade from the Carolina Panthers. He's only played
19:31
Speaker 1: one game at right guard for the Carolina Panthers and
19:34
Speaker 1: at right tackle. They acquired Brian Blogging free agency, the
19:37
Speaker 1: longtime Green Bay Packer, but he's been dealing with a
19:41
Speaker 1: back injury. So for the last couple of weeks, you've
19:43
Speaker 1: had backups playing at right guard and right tackle, and
19:48
Speaker 1: you've been playing with the starting guard moved to center
19:51
Speaker 1: because of puncy for for the whole entire season. So, uh,
19:56
Speaker 1: they've got some issues up front. But yet, man, the
20:00
Speaker 1: young quarterback, Herbert, it just doesn't seem to face him whatsoever.
20:04
Speaker 1: He's a good player. J P. Watching the film on him. Uh,
20:09
Speaker 1: he's he's got everything. You know when you when you
20:11
Speaker 1: start talking about first round caliber talent, He's got it.
20:16
Speaker 1: He's got the athleticism, he's got the arm talent, the
20:20
Speaker 1: arm strength, the the awareness. He is unbelievable against pressure.
20:27
Speaker 1: And uh, I mean he's doing a heck of a
20:30
Speaker 1: job and good enough job to where her you know,
20:33
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, as much as he wanted to kind of
20:35
Speaker 1: let him sit back and learn. You know, Tyrod Taylor
20:39
Speaker 1: got that in painkilling injection into his rib and they
20:42
Speaker 1: pop his dag him lung and then ever since then,
20:45
Speaker 1: Herbert has been in the lineup and he hasn't given
20:47
Speaker 1: up control of it. He's been good. Yeah, it sounds
20:51
Speaker 1: like that button has been pushed and it's going to
20:54
Speaker 1: be hard to unpush that button in l A. It
20:57
Speaker 1: seems like it's justin Herbert's team move in yourhead. One
21:01
Speaker 1: final thought on Alan, how close is he to getting
21:04
Speaker 1: home on some of these pressures this year? Loves is
21:07
Speaker 1: he How does he's the closest of any of the
21:09
Speaker 1: guys up front of consistently getting there? But how close?
21:13
Speaker 1: How far away is he from getting home? Uh? I
21:18
Speaker 1: think he just has to be more more aggressive. I
21:21
Speaker 1: think the one thing that that offensive lineman are doing
21:25
Speaker 1: with Josh is they're kind of they're playing They're not
21:28
Speaker 1: respecting his power. So what they're doing is they're they're
21:32
Speaker 1: sitting back and Bassel and I've talked about this at
21:35
Speaker 1: length quite a few times, and that you know, for
21:37
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman, if an offensive lineman fears the power
21:41
Speaker 1: and fears the strength, then he's gonna play you a
21:43
Speaker 1: little bit differently. And I think tackles right now are
21:46
Speaker 1: sitting soft on Josh a little bit. And what I
21:49
Speaker 1: mean by sitting soft is that they're not worried about him,
21:52
Speaker 1: about him overpowering them, and so they're playing back a
21:56
Speaker 1: little bit on their heels, a little bit more upright
21:59
Speaker 1: so that they don't get juke, and they're being a
22:01
Speaker 1: little bit more patient and solved. So the counter to that,
22:05
Speaker 1: which I want to see Josh do more of, is
22:08
Speaker 1: to what I call see the red cake that the
22:13
Speaker 1: matador is waving. And then you just you take them
22:17
Speaker 1: back to the quarterback and you push them back into
22:19
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks lap. And a lot of times as a
22:21
Speaker 1: as a defensive lineman, if if you let the tackle
22:24
Speaker 1: feel your power as a defensive lineman, whether that's defensive tackle,
22:28
Speaker 1: whether that's a defensive end, it doesn't matter, then they
22:32
Speaker 1: have a tendency to want to be a little bit
22:34
Speaker 1: more firm. And when they get a little bit more firm,
22:37
Speaker 1: then when you get on the edges and you start
22:40
Speaker 1: giving them a little bit of shape, it becomes a
22:42
Speaker 1: little bit easier to do that. Blugs we've we've touched
22:48
Speaker 1: on Herbert, but he's certainly has some weapons around him
22:52
Speaker 1: to keenan Allen can still bring it on the outside.
22:54
Speaker 1: They've got a tight end that's can play well. The
22:57
Speaker 1: running back situation. Ekeler hasn't been around the last couple
23:00
Speaker 1: of weeks, but they've got a couple of running backs
23:03
Speaker 1: filling that role in Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelly. How
23:06
Speaker 1: about Keenan Allen outside, what kind of matchups can we
23:08
Speaker 1: expect out there this week? Well, he's got every trick
23:13
Speaker 1: in the book and you know, three times straight Pro
23:16
Speaker 1: bowler and obviously that was with you know, Philip Rivers uh.
23:20
Speaker 1: And he did leave the last game Monday night against
23:23
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints with a little bit of back spasm,
23:25
Speaker 1: so that's something to keep an eye on with him.
23:27
Speaker 1: But I mean, crafty, smart, dependable, always working for his quarterback.
23:33
Speaker 1: I mean that's Keenan Allen is everything you want when
23:36
Speaker 1: you're talking about the number one receiver. When I say
23:39
Speaker 1: number one receiver, I'm not talking about the guy that
23:41
Speaker 1: can take the top off the defense, but just to
23:44
Speaker 1: provide that comfort zone for the quarterback. And Keenan Allen
23:47
Speaker 1: can do that now. Mike Williams on the other side,
23:50
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is the former Clemson star. He's big, he's
23:54
Speaker 1: you know, six four pounds, he can high point the ball,
24:00
Speaker 1: catch the ball when it's all over the map. And
24:03
Speaker 1: he's averaging in his career over seventeen yards of catch.
24:06
Speaker 1: I mean, so you've got two wide receivers there that
24:08
Speaker 1: really compliment each other. And then you mentioned the tight
24:11
Speaker 1: end hunter Henry. He's a pretty good player, you know,
24:13
Speaker 1: second round pick from a few years ago. I had
24:16
Speaker 1: an a c l a couple of years ago. Slowed
24:18
Speaker 1: them down just a little bit, and he's still growing.
24:21
Speaker 1: Obviously played behind Antonio Gates for a couple of years,
24:24
Speaker 1: learned a lot from Antonio Gates. So so this offense
24:28
Speaker 1: have some weapons, and it definitely is missing arguably their
24:32
Speaker 1: best weapon, because you got a rookie quarterback which is
24:35
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, who we know very well. JP remember last
24:39
Speaker 1: year hundred yards receiving, hundred yards rushing against the Jaguars
24:42
Speaker 1: and not many players in NFL history had done that.
24:44
Speaker 1: So it's hard to replace his production outside who covers,
24:52
Speaker 1: who lugs on the Jaguars defensive perspective. Uh, yes, that's
25:00
Speaker 1: a tough one now, I mean, because you know, you know,
25:03
Speaker 1: you're two starting corners now are Sydney Jones and and C. J. Henderson.
25:06
Speaker 1: So Uh, Sydney Jones good with his hands, a little physical. Um,
25:15
Speaker 1: is he a little bit taller than c J? Maybe?
25:18
Speaker 1: I mean the fastest guy. You always want to put
25:22
Speaker 1: on their fastest guy, and c J I think is
25:25
Speaker 1: the fastest guy for the Jaguars. And so I think
25:29
Speaker 1: it comes down to the coaching staff. Okay, what do
25:31
Speaker 1: you want to do? Is Mike Williams considered faster than
25:35
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen is so crafty for me? Uh, boy,
25:41
Speaker 1: I've been Sydney Jones is just playing so well. But
25:43
Speaker 1: then then again, JP, if you put Sydney Jones on
25:47
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, you're basically saying that Sydney is our best corner. Well,
25:52
Speaker 1: you just drafted a guy in the first round and
25:56
Speaker 1: top ten pick. I mean, isn't he supposed to be
25:58
Speaker 1: your best corner? So there you go. That's the That's
26:04
Speaker 1: what's ahead of the Jaguars defense this week. Let's take
26:08
Speaker 1: a time outlogs. We'll come back a little more on
26:10

30:43

30:46
Speaker 1: We always try to talk about a one play mentality.
30:49
Speaker 1: It's onto the next one. And that's very important in
30:51
Speaker 1: pro football because they have defenders that get paid, they
30:54
Speaker 1: have coaches that get paid, and they're gonna make their
30:56
Speaker 1: stops here and there. It's important for us to stay
30:58

Speaker 1: back Jaguars Happy Our j p Shadrick Jeff Logerman back
31:12
Speaker 1: to the offensive side now ahead of this matchup with
31:15
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday at so Far Stadium.
31:19
Speaker 1: You know, one of the talking points and and uh,
31:23
Speaker 1: kind of the commentary this week has been about the
31:27
Speaker 1: mentality of this young Jaguars team, especially the offense, when
31:31
Speaker 1: things don't go so well and they have to play
31:34
Speaker 1: catch up, and how does a young team stay motivated
31:37
Speaker 1: and ready to go. I think that's a little bit
31:39
Speaker 1: of a Jay was was talking about their things don't
31:41
Speaker 1: always go well, but it's on to the next play.
31:44
Speaker 1: Is that it can can it be tough for a
31:47
Speaker 1: young team to figure that out in the league that
31:49
Speaker 1: it's not always gonna be seventy points a game like
31:51
Speaker 1: it sometimes is in college. Things don't go that well
31:54
Speaker 1: all the time in the NFL. Yeah, I mean, it
31:59
Speaker 1: can be tough for mean with a young football team.
32:01
Speaker 1: But the reality is it's not an excuse. Uh. I
32:06
Speaker 1: think you know, you look at you look at the
32:08
Speaker 1: early part of that game JP this past week. You
32:12
Speaker 1: get a sixty two play drive and you settle for
32:15
Speaker 1: a thirty one yard field goal, and you had a
32:17
Speaker 1: huge explosive player on that drive of that long past
32:20
Speaker 1: the Keeling cole you know. I mean, typically if you
32:22
Speaker 1: get an explosive play, hey, you got a real good
32:24
Speaker 1: chance of getting a touchdown. So you settle for a
32:26
Speaker 1: field goal there, and then you have, uh an interception
32:30
Speaker 1: because it was a pressure that was allowed by the
32:32
Speaker 1: linebacker and it was a terrible throw by the quarterback
32:35
Speaker 1: that he's just throwing it up for anybody that happened
32:37
Speaker 1: to be into the area to get. And then you
32:40
Speaker 1: have a missed opportunity on a short field goal and uh,
32:43
Speaker 1: and then you allow a Sat Calls fumble recovered fumble
32:46
Speaker 1: by the Detroit Lions. I mean, so look, uh, look
32:50
Speaker 1: well then look at your own performances. I mean, that's
32:52
Speaker 1: just you have to have better performances. And I think
32:56
Speaker 1: one of the things that I think really hurt the
32:58
Speaker 1: offense in this ball game, and it shouldn't have, was
33:02
Speaker 1: that a j Can got a shoulder injury and all
33:05
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's got to come out. And then
33:07
Speaker 1: when he came out, he ended up having a young
33:09
Speaker 1: player that came into the game and Bart who was
33:12
Speaker 1: you know, fourth round pick out of a small college
33:15
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and uh, and he didn't play very well,
33:19
Speaker 1: and I think I think that was disappointing, you know,
33:23
Speaker 1: because he didn't play well in the run game, he
33:25
Speaker 1: didn't play well in the past game. And uh and
33:29
Speaker 1: if you if you watch that game from the point
33:31
Speaker 1: where where a j Can got hurt and where he
33:34
Speaker 1: came out then and he looked at the offensive line,
33:38
Speaker 1: I mean, it was very apparent that Bart was struggling
33:40
Speaker 1: and that that was the weak link for the rest
33:43
Speaker 1: of the game. And then he also kind of got
33:45
Speaker 1: nicked up a little bit. I don't know exactly what
33:47
Speaker 1: he did. He's on the injury report I think this week.
33:50
Speaker 1: But in the game, you could see that he kind
33:51
Speaker 1: of tweaked his knee or ankle or something and was
33:55
Speaker 1: kind of walking back to the huddle limping a bit,
33:58
Speaker 1: you know, and at times he looked wrong. But in
34:02
Speaker 1: the NFL, the one thing that's very hard to do
34:05
Speaker 1: for offensive lineman is that you gotta stick on block
34:08
Speaker 1: because defensive line in the National Football League are really
34:11
Speaker 1: good at getting off of them. And that's the one
34:14
Speaker 1: thing that he was having a difficult time, is that
34:17
Speaker 1: any kind of redirect where he had to move his feet,
34:19
Speaker 1: that's where he was struggling at and it'll be interesting
34:22
Speaker 1: to see what happens this week, JP, because I believe
34:25
Speaker 1: you said that earlier that a j Ken did not
34:28
Speaker 1: practice today and if he can't play this week, and
34:33
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a j Ken, does Bart's get another
34:36
Speaker 1: opportunity or do you say, maybe we'll to let Tyler
34:41
Speaker 1: Shatley play, you know, veteran guy, maybe get a little
34:44
Speaker 1: bit more of a solid performance out of him, because
34:47
Speaker 1: when he played obviously with Linda out a couple of
34:49
Speaker 1: games with the knee, he played very well at center.
34:53
Speaker 1: Ben Bart's officially a shoulder injury is what it's listed
34:57
Speaker 1: as logs and he's been limited both days of practice
35:01
Speaker 1: this week. So yes, some question marks, you know what. Okay, well,
35:09
Speaker 1: there you go, UM, and you're right with well, Shatley,
35:11
Speaker 1: they know exactly what they have in him if they
35:13
Speaker 1: have to go that route, certainly as a possibility. But
35:18
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of surprised to j P. It's
35:20
Speaker 1: already to cut you off there, but you know, I'm
35:21
Speaker 1: kind of surprised in the game that you know, as
35:23
Speaker 1: you're watching, as you're as you're watching the events kind
35:27
Speaker 1: of unfold and you're seeing that you have a young
35:29
Speaker 1: player and he's not doing very well, and you have
35:33
Speaker 1: shot Lee right there. I mean, do you do you
35:37
Speaker 1: maybe think about making that change? You know? And uh,
35:41
Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised that they didn't look at
35:43
Speaker 1: that and say, you know, hey, look, you know the
35:45
Speaker 1: young man is he's he's having a welcome to the
35:49
Speaker 1: NFL moment and uh, and look, we're not about, you know,
35:52
Speaker 1: having these welcome to the NFL moments. We're about trying
35:55
Speaker 1: to win football game and to take him out and
35:57
Speaker 1: put shat Lee in. But they didn't do it. The
36:01
Speaker 1: Jaguars running game is we're talking about offensive line here
36:04
Speaker 1: and how much of that is the line play and
36:08
Speaker 1: how much of that is the defensive looks that maybe
36:11
Speaker 1: the Lions were giving last week And can you expect
36:15
Speaker 1: those type of looks moving ahead where they're trying to
36:18
Speaker 1: stop the Jags running game. It's an interesting question. And uh.
36:23
Speaker 1: In this week on Jack's Wired, I I drew up
36:27
Speaker 1: a play because you know, a lot of people JP
36:29
Speaker 1: when you when you refer to stack in the box
36:33
Speaker 1: or a loaded box, you know, which is a defense
36:36
Speaker 1: that's that's designed to stop the run. A lot of
36:39
Speaker 1: people are like, what are you what are you talking about?
36:41
Speaker 1: This is just two advanced football talk for me. So
36:44
Speaker 1: we I drew it up and I showed people, Okay,
36:46
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars are in base personnel and I've was
36:48
Speaker 1: drawn up a very specific play and that the Detroit lines.
36:52
Speaker 1: They came out and they had eight guys in the
36:54
Speaker 1: block in the box, which is the box areas. We
36:58
Speaker 1: probably gonna start the basics the the box areas kind
37:01
Speaker 1: of where the linebackers and defensive lineman r and then
37:05
Speaker 1: if the safety kind of creeps down to you within
37:08
Speaker 1: six yards of the line of scrimmage around the tight
37:09
Speaker 1: end area, that's also considered in the box. And the
37:13
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions always played with a four to five block box.
37:16
Speaker 1: So if the Jaguars had seven blockers, so you're five
37:19
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and maybe two tight ends, then the Detroit
37:24
Speaker 1: Lions would put eight in the box. So that's where
37:27
Speaker 1: they're out your out numbering your opponent the box, and
37:29
Speaker 1: you're making sure that you're getting extra players in there
37:32
Speaker 1: that can't be blocked to stop the run. Well, in
37:35
Speaker 1: this case that the play I drew it was a
37:38
Speaker 1: eight in the box and that was against seven blockers.
37:41
Speaker 1: That the Jaguars had, but then they buzzed the deep
37:44
Speaker 1: mettal safety down almost immediately a very fast read where
37:49
Speaker 1: he became a ninth guy in the box. So now
37:53
Speaker 1: you have two defenders that are in the box that
37:55
Speaker 1: Jaguars offensively you can't block. You don't have enough men
37:58
Speaker 1: to do it. And what the Detroit lines did and
38:02
Speaker 1: when you're doing that, you're daring the offense to throw
38:06
Speaker 1: the football. And so when you do throw the football,
38:09
Speaker 1: you gotta make them pay because if you make them pay,
38:13
Speaker 1: guess what, They're not gonna play eight up in that box.
38:17
Speaker 1: And then they're also gonna think twice about having that
38:19
Speaker 1: deep middle safety insert himself up in there at the
38:23
Speaker 1: snap of the ball to be that ninth guy. Uh.
38:26
Speaker 1: But you gotta make them pay because if you don't
38:29
Speaker 1: make them pay, they're just gonna keep doing it, keep
38:31
Speaker 1: doing it, keep doing it. And one of the things
38:34
Speaker 1: I think that's that the Detroit lines also did is
38:36
Speaker 1: that they run blitz. And when I say run blitz, okay,
38:40
Speaker 1: they're bringing a guy off the corner in a in
38:43
Speaker 1: a fortified box. But he's not just playing up in
38:45
Speaker 1: their like a linebacker and reading. He is blitzing. He's
38:48
Speaker 1: coming run past, it doesn't matter. And and I think
38:53
Speaker 1: that they had that attitude because there's a little bit
38:56
Speaker 1: of a trend with Gardner Minshew at quarterback and he
39:00
Speaker 1: gets blitz with six or seven guys. His quarterback rating
39:05
Speaker 1: is very low, I mean like a hundred points below
39:09
Speaker 1: the average in the in the National Football League. And
39:12
Speaker 1: so the Detroit lines did some of that where they're
39:15
Speaker 1: bringing you know that cover zero, which means no free
39:18
Speaker 1: safety back, and they're bringing extra guys up and blitzing them,
39:21
Speaker 1: sending them and they're also they're there to stop the run,
39:25
Speaker 1: and they're also there to put pressure on the quarterback.
39:28
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars just didn't have an answer. And again, JP,
39:30
Speaker 1: the answer to that is that hit him with a pass,
39:33
Speaker 1: hit him d and all of a sudden that safety
39:35
Speaker 1: is not there, and then all of a a sudden it's
39:37
Speaker 1: a huge player or a touchdown. And the Jaguars just
39:39
Speaker 1: couldn't make anything happen to that nature. Yeah, when the
39:43
Speaker 1: when the pressure comes, quarterback has to get it out
39:45
Speaker 1: quicker obviously, and then when getting it out quicker, those
39:49
Speaker 1: throws have to be on target. And they were just
39:51
Speaker 1: a touch off certainly last week d J. CHARKI heard
39:54
Speaker 1: his frustration after the game that you know, maybe they
39:57
Speaker 1: were open some that they are always open and according
40:00
Speaker 1: to the wide receivers, but the timing was just a
40:03
Speaker 1: little bit off and they just haven't had that a
40:05
Speaker 1: lot of this year now. And and uh and and JP,
40:11
Speaker 1: you know, I understand the wide receiver's frustration. I mean, Kingdomcardo,
40:15
Speaker 1: who's their coach. I mean when he played, he was
40:16
Speaker 1: always open. So I totally get what they're being taught.
40:22
Speaker 1: And but you know, when you watch the film, yes
40:24
Speaker 1: there were moments that they were open. And uh. And
40:27
Speaker 1: you know the one play that kind of sticks out
40:29
Speaker 1: in my mind. It's the the Minshew scramble. You know,
40:33
Speaker 1: and you score touchdown and you and you throw the
40:36
Speaker 1: ball up against the the end zone wall and then
40:39
Speaker 1: you give it a fist pump, you know, because you
40:41
Speaker 1: were down by twenty one. Well okay, well now we're
40:46
Speaker 1: down by fifteen. We still got a long ways to go.
40:48
Speaker 1: You might want to just kind of tone it down
40:50
Speaker 1: a little bit because you still got a way to go.
40:52
Speaker 1: You have been playing very well, and on that play,
40:55
Speaker 1: you've got a wide open Lavisco Chanal I mean, I'm
40:59
Speaker 1: talking nobody was in ten yards. If you just stay
41:01
Speaker 1: in the pocket and you just go through a progression,
41:05
Speaker 1: it's it'sn't like JP JP. You could have thrown it
41:10
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. That's how open it was. And I
41:15
Speaker 1: can't feel my fingers when I throw. So we got
41:18
Speaker 1: got that going for me. Let's come back in a
41:20
Speaker 1: moment and we'll get into some games around the NFL
41:23

Speaker 1: Doug Moron Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. The head
45:11
Speaker 1: coach will join us from his office at T I
45:14
Speaker 1: A A. Bank Field. A little bit of a strange
45:16
Speaker 1: week LOGGS because the Jaguars had intensive protocols continuing after
45:22
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen positive tests late last week on the
45:25
Speaker 1: practice squad and a bunch of other practice squad players.
45:30
Speaker 1: We're put on the COVID nineteen list because of tracing reasons,
45:34
Speaker 1: and those guys were returned, most of them were returned
45:38
Speaker 1: to the practice squad Officially today, so virtual meetings. We
45:42
Speaker 1: last dog about this at five o'clock how different the
45:45
Speaker 1: week was, but it is not. It was not and
45:47
Speaker 1: has not been a regular practice week this week. They
45:52
Speaker 1: had to have some changes and we'll see how this
45:55
Speaker 1: team adjusts. And as Doug Morone said earlier this week logs,
45:58
Speaker 1: maybe they needed a little shake up. Anyway, they're gonna
46:01
Speaker 1: use this and embrace this change that the league made
46:04
Speaker 1: them do. Yeah, I I don't know how much I mean,
46:08
Speaker 1: this is really going to impact you, because here's the reality. JP.
46:12
Speaker 1: You can probably shortened practice up a little bit because
46:16
Speaker 1: you don't have practice squad guys that are available, but
46:19
Speaker 1: yet you can probably have a few more offense versus
46:23
Speaker 1: defense drills because your defense is very similar to the
46:26
Speaker 1: defense that you're gonna face, and so so that can
46:30
Speaker 1: kind of be condensed a little bit right there. But
46:32
Speaker 1: you know, look in this COVID world, I mean, there's
46:35
Speaker 1: nothing that is going to be normal. And if you
46:39
Speaker 1: compared what the Jaguars are having to deal with this
46:42
Speaker 1: week with the guys on practice squad not eligible to
46:45
Speaker 1: be back in the building until today, very minor. If
46:48
Speaker 1: you compare that to what, for example, the Raiders are
46:51
Speaker 1: dealing with which they have an entire offensive line because
46:55
Speaker 1: one of them tested positive. So the entire offensive line
46:59
Speaker 1: is not available all to practice and they're gonna be
47:01
Speaker 1: learning from a distance and doing it virtually. I mean,
47:04
Speaker 1: what's what's worse? I mean, would you rather have your
47:07
Speaker 1: entire offensive line that's gonna be starting for you on
47:10
Speaker 1: Sunday not available practice all week because of contact tracing
47:15
Speaker 1: or suspected contact tracing because that's a little questionable with
47:18
Speaker 1: the Vegas Raiders anyway, or would you rather have, you know,
47:22
Speaker 1: your practice squad guys missed a couple of days during
47:24
Speaker 1: the week. I'll take the practice squad problem, you know.
47:28
Speaker 1: And uh, you know the other thing that was kind
47:30
Speaker 1: of interested in me JP as it relates to practice
47:33
Speaker 1: squad is that the Jaguars weren't able to keep Jibaal
47:36
Speaker 1: Sheared in the mix. You know, he played pretty well
47:39
Speaker 1: last week with his first game action, and he was
47:43
Speaker 1: a former Patriot brown cold I think all three teams
47:47
Speaker 1: and most recently with the Colts. I thought he's Jaguar's
47:50
Speaker 1: best rush guy that in this past game, and I
47:54
Speaker 1: am kind of surprised that you let him go. I mean,
47:57
Speaker 1: because he's here right, And so if the Giants are
48:00
Speaker 1: calling him up saying, hey, hey, Jabal, uh, we'd like
48:03
Speaker 1: to sign you the active roster, I'm sure Jabal would
48:06
Speaker 1: have would have been like, you know, well, look, I
48:08
Speaker 1: don't want to get on a plane to go to
48:10
Speaker 1: New York. Hey, Jaguars, can can I get moved up
48:13
Speaker 1: to the active roster? No? Okay, I gotta go to
48:16
Speaker 1: New York. You know. So I kind of surprised that
48:19
Speaker 1: he wasn't moved up because you know, the practice squad
48:21
Speaker 1: guys are allowed to be elevated twice and then after
48:23
Speaker 1: that you have to sign him the active roster. So
48:25
Speaker 1: you could have gotten him up one more time for
48:27
Speaker 1: free off of the practice squad, but as soon as
48:29
Speaker 1: somebody comes to calling to sign him on their active roster,
48:33
Speaker 1: you gotta make a decision, and they chose not to
48:34
Speaker 1: sign him a little surprised at that. Yeah. Dugan Barone
48:40
Speaker 1: this week said that, you know, with Josh Allen coming
48:43
Speaker 1: back most likely this week and chaise On needing those
48:47
Speaker 1: reps at defensive end, that the reps just weren't going
48:51
Speaker 1: to be available for sheered moving ahead, so a business decision,
48:55
Speaker 1: he had to move forward and move on, and that's
48:57
Speaker 1: what he did. He's onto the Giants. Yeah, I mean
49:02
Speaker 1: I still reps. I mean, look, this is about performance,
49:08
Speaker 1: and jabal Shire performed. He would have had a sack,
49:10
Speaker 1: but that was negated from a penalty, and he had
49:13
Speaker 1: a past defense that led to the Joe Schober interception,
49:17
Speaker 1: Joe Schober's first takeaway as a Jaguar. So uh, I
49:22
Speaker 1: don't know, JP. I mean I like to have players
49:24
Speaker 1: that played pretty good, and when one of them plays
49:26
Speaker 1: pretty well in a game, I don't want to let
49:29
Speaker 1: him go. Now. One name to keep an eye on
49:34
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks is Aaron Lynch. He unretired
49:37
Speaker 1: this week, but he won't be available for this week's game.
49:40
Speaker 1: I think he's allowed to be in the building testing
49:44
Speaker 1: on Monday. Alright, When when you say all that, because
49:48
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm sure there's a lot of people
49:51
Speaker 1: that are the exact same boat as me and our
49:55
Speaker 1: going JP. Who's Aaron Lynch? I mean, what has he
50:00
Speaker 1: done the Jaguars? Um Am? I supposed to be a
50:05
Speaker 1: baseball player. I mean, I mean, seriously, I'm not trying
50:09
Speaker 1: to be funny here, because you know, a lot of
50:10
Speaker 1: people don't have it. They don't have any idea who
50:12
Speaker 1: Aaron Lynch yet. You know, he's never played for the Jaguars.
50:15
Speaker 1: He's never done anything for the Jaguars. Tell us about him?
50:19
Speaker 1: What has he done? Why? I mean, why would that
50:22
Speaker 1: be possible? Good news. So Lynch, who was here at
50:26
Speaker 1: the very start of training camp, decided to call it
50:30
Speaker 1: a career and retire early, very early in camp and
50:34
Speaker 1: then has come out of retirement. He has about twenty
50:37
Speaker 1: sacks in his career in the National Football League. Was
50:41
Speaker 1: with the Bears the last couple of years, so he's
50:44
Speaker 1: been around for a few seasons in the NFL. But
50:47
Speaker 1: you know, as of right now, whenever he's back in
50:49
Speaker 1: the active roster, he will have the most sacks of
50:53
Speaker 1: any active player on this roster right now in his career.
50:57
Speaker 1: So for a team that needs some pass rush, can
50:59
Speaker 1: he bring it? I don't know, we'll see, that's right.
51:02
Speaker 1: You just don't know until you go out and do it.
51:03
Speaker 1: So that's that's his history here. As you said, there's
51:06
Speaker 1: not one. He hasn't been here long, but it's a
51:09
Speaker 1: notable name, at least to the next couple of weeks.
51:11
Speaker 1: Whenever the Jacks come back out of the bi Yeah.
51:15
Speaker 1: I mean, because it's just like you know, and it's
51:18
Speaker 1: it's news, but I mean, is it really news? You know?
51:21
Speaker 1: And here's a guy that decided he didn't want to
51:23
Speaker 1: play football anymore, and then all of a sudden, you
51:27
Speaker 1: get into the month of the latter part of month
51:30
Speaker 1: of October and he's going, wait a minute, you know,
51:35
Speaker 1: wait a minute, j P, where where my paychecks go?
51:39
Speaker 1: Where's well wallet? Um? Hey, you know, and I need
51:45
Speaker 1: to play. You need to play to get paychecks, and
51:48
Speaker 1: so you come back. I mean, you know, it's just
51:51
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of wonder. I mean, there's a
51:52
Speaker 1: guy that's a guy motivated because he loves the game.
51:55
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know circumstances. I'm not trying to
51:57
Speaker 1: make fun of him. I mean, maybe he had a
51:59
Speaker 1: family issue whatever. Um, But my point of this is
52:04
Speaker 1: is that you know, he's on retiring, Okay, is he
52:07
Speaker 1: gonna be able to help the Jaguars? Maybe? I don't know.
52:10
Speaker 1: Has he been eating cheetos and watching cartoons for three months?
52:14
Speaker 1: We don't know that. But what I do know is
52:17
Speaker 1: that a guy that played for the Jaguars this past
52:20
Speaker 1: weekend and Jabal shared is now going to go play
52:23
Speaker 1: with the Giants. I mean, it's just just like what yeah, anyway, Yeah,
52:29
Speaker 1: that's the lay of the land these days. So this
52:31
Speaker 1: is also a strange. But two, I mean, the first
52:33
Speaker 1: trip to the Jaguars to the new stadium in l A.
52:37
Speaker 1: And we won't be there to see it. Everybody's calling
52:39
Speaker 1: the game here, so you know, all the excitement of
52:42
Speaker 1: going to see the brand new five billion dollars stadium
52:45
Speaker 1: in l A. The team will get to go, but uh,
52:48
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a bummer not to be
52:49
Speaker 1: able to go out and check that stadium. JP. That's
52:53
Speaker 1: the most expensive TV set in history, right, I mean,
53:00
Speaker 1: that's what's what it is, right, I mean, there's there's
53:05
Speaker 1: no fans. Uh, you know, I don't know if you
53:09
Speaker 1: happen to watch Hard Knocks. I watched Hard Knocks all
53:11
Speaker 1: the way through and and so they were showing the stadium,
53:14
Speaker 1: you know, because the Hard Knocks they followed both the
53:17
Speaker 1: Rams and the Chargers in l A in trainee camp
53:21
Speaker 1: until obviously both teams playing at this new stadium. That's
53:25
Speaker 1: just amazing. I would love to see it, by the way,
53:29
Speaker 1: and uh, it's just arguably the only stadium in in
53:32
Speaker 1: the NFL that can compete with the grandeur of of
53:36
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is Cowboy Wonderland that he has at Tech
53:41
Speaker 1: Texas or not Texas Stadium, but at Cowboy Stadium. So
53:46
Speaker 1: pretty amazing job in l A. And uh and can
53:50
Speaker 1: you imagine, I mean, you spend all that money because
53:53
Speaker 1: a lot of that money and most of if not all,
53:55
Speaker 1: that money was essentially paid for by the owner, Cronky
54:00
Speaker 1: of the Rams, and now you can't even get anybody
54:05
Speaker 1: in that building to help pay for it. I mean,
54:07
Speaker 1: that's got to be a tough one. Yeah, no doubt
54:11
Speaker 1: about that. Let's touch on some other key league games
54:15
Speaker 1: this week logs. A few games stand out and including
54:19
Speaker 1: one of the members of the a f C South.
54:21
Speaker 1: The division leading Tennessee Titans hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers, both
54:25
Speaker 1: teams five and oh and this should be a really
54:28
Speaker 1: good matchup on Sunday. Great matchup. I mean, you talk
54:33
Speaker 1: about two physical teams. Derrick Henry coming off a game
54:38
Speaker 1: that he just was a monster absolute beasts took control
54:43
Speaker 1: of that game. Last week. Pittsburgh Steelers absolutely trounced the
54:48
Speaker 1: Browns when the Browns were feeling really good about themselves,
54:52
Speaker 1: I think it's a great matchup. I think it's the
54:54
Speaker 1: matchup of the week. Some other games have been shifted
54:59
Speaker 1: around now, even after we came on the air today,
55:02
Speaker 1: the Seahawks at Cardinals game, good matchup there has now
55:06
Speaker 1: moved to Sunday night at The Sunday night game that
55:10
Speaker 1: was Bucks Raiders has been moved to Sunday at four
55:13
Speaker 1: oh five. I guess NBC doesn't want to lose the
55:16
Speaker 1: Sunday night game if the Raiders aren't able to go
55:19
Speaker 1: for some reason with all those offensive line from the
55:22
Speaker 1: team right now, but Seahawks Cardinals, good game. Seahawks Cardinals,
55:28
Speaker 1: you're I'm curious to watch that game. For one, that
55:32
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is, you know, is an MVP candidate, and
55:35
Speaker 1: he's playing unbelievable and and he and the Seahawks have
55:40
Speaker 1: one of the worst defenses in the National Football League,
55:43
Speaker 1: you know, in Jacksonville here, we're like, oh, the Jaguars
55:46
Speaker 1: have given up all these yards and they're giving up
55:48
Speaker 1: all these points. Will folks in Seattle, they're playing even
55:53
Speaker 1: worse defense, arguably, And Russell Wilson has been able to
55:57
Speaker 1: overcome that because of his play and the play of
55:59
Speaker 1: the all fence. I'm excited to watch him. I'm also
56:03
Speaker 1: excited to be able to watch Kyler Murray and what
56:06
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals have become, because you know, for a
56:09
Speaker 1: long time they kind of were the doorstep of many
56:13
Speaker 1: teams and and certainly in their division, and all of
56:15
Speaker 1: a sudden, now they're competitive. And Kyler Murray is uh
56:19
Speaker 1: many selections on Fantasy Football Day because he's an exciting
56:23
Speaker 1: quarterback and only with his arm, but also his feet
56:26
Speaker 1: and uh, and they've got a pretty good football team.
56:28
Speaker 1: They're playing pretty good ball. All right. We've got some
56:32
Speaker 1: news that just came down from the PR department for
56:35
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. By the way, logs here, so let's get
56:37
Speaker 1: to it. The Jags of promoted undrafted rookie tight end
56:40
Speaker 1: Ben Ellison from the practice squad to the active roster,
56:43
Speaker 1: and they've activated kicker Josh Lambeau from the reserve injured
56:47
Speaker 1: Designated for a turn list, So that's good news to
56:50
Speaker 1: make room with the roster, though, the Jaguars placed Abrey
56:53
Speaker 1: Jones on the reserve injured list and released kicker John Brown.
56:58
Speaker 1: The club also released Joshmorrow from the Exempt Commissioner Permission list,
57:02
Speaker 1: but Avery Jones now on the reserve injured list for
57:06
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Lugs. Yeah, that hurt, you know. Um, well,
57:12
Speaker 1: I mean a couple of things there. I mean, first off,
57:15
Speaker 1: it hurts to have Avery go on irm and it
57:18
Speaker 1: can be available back he's a captain. And uh, Davon
57:23
Speaker 1: Hamilton's the Jaguars third round pick defensive tackle hasn't played
57:28
Speaker 1: to the level that Avery Jones has. So you have
57:31
Speaker 1: a loss there, and it's good news. You got Josh
57:34
Speaker 1: Lambeau back. I mean, if you're letting go of John Brown,
57:38
Speaker 1: then you feel really good about where Josh Lambo is
57:40
Speaker 1: at in a short short amount of time, So you
57:42
Speaker 1: feel good about his ability to kick this week. So uh,
57:47
Speaker 1: that's all positive. So so all right. And also the
57:53
Speaker 1: Ellison news elevated from the practice squad that the rookie
57:56
Speaker 1: tight end. It means, you know, Ifford has been on
57:59
Speaker 1: the the injury report this week. So uh, I don't
58:03
Speaker 1: want to read too deep, but that's that's what we're
58:05
Speaker 1: reading into it. Well. Yeah, I mean, look, Tyler Effort
58:09
Speaker 1: had the neck last week and then he had the
58:11
Speaker 1: neck again this week and he wasn't I don't think
58:13
Speaker 1: he finished the game. If I remember right, or at
58:15
Speaker 1: least it was that he came out for a period
58:17
Speaker 1: of time one or the other. And you know, you
58:19
Speaker 1: go back to weeks one and week two when Ellison
58:23
Speaker 1: was activated off of the practice squad to the active roster,
58:27
Speaker 1: and so that was the only free free I use
58:30
Speaker 1: the term free because you can bring him up off
58:33
Speaker 1: of the practice squad to the active roster twice and
58:36
Speaker 1: then that's it. Then after that, if you want to
58:38
Speaker 1: bring him back to the active roster, you have to
58:41
Speaker 1: actually sign them to your active roster. So Ellison, it
58:45
Speaker 1: was a matter of, Okay, we like him, he's done
58:48
Speaker 1: a good job, and if we now we we want
58:51
Speaker 1: to bring him back, but now we've we got to
58:53
Speaker 1: sign him all the way back to the active roster
58:55
Speaker 1: to be able to have him available. So uh, and look,
58:59
Speaker 1: I thought during training camp that that Elson didn't do
59:02
Speaker 1: as good of a job as Tyler David. Tyler Davis
59:05
Speaker 1: has kind of been a non factor at the tight
59:08
Speaker 1: end position, and so I think Ellison has been better
59:12
Speaker 1: than him. And and certainly if you have an injury
59:15
Speaker 1: with Tyler Eiffert, then uh, if you're gonna need Elison
59:19
Speaker 1: for sure, all right, lugs. That'll do it for Jaguars
59:24
