• 0:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Texanville Jaguar's fans welcome and to do all daily presented by Jinjag.com, I'm Jordan Lugo.
• 0:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks so much for being here Thursday, December 4th.
• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jaguar is hosting the cults in a little game, no big deal, just a game that's going to determine who is in first place in the AFC South with only four games left in the season.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was joking.
• 0:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a pretty damn big deal.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we have some pretty damn big injury news here to talk about.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's mostly positive for the Jaguar.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna get into it, really appreciate y'all.

• 0:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the big ticket items, jag wars returning to practice on Thursday.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trayvon Walker practicing for the first time since the jag wars faced the chargers.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's missed two weeks practice.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's back.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Didn't practice Wednesday.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is practicing Thursday, assuming it will be limited.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that is big news for the jag wars.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: If they can get two practices under Trayvon Walker's belt and he's been dealing with the knee injury and get him on the field Sunday against the cults against a team that is really good at running the ball.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, I mean, so when you talk about the cults and they're running game, it's all Jonathan Taylor, right?
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that they're run blocking as a unit as an offensive line is like top notch.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Acceptable.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It does enough for Jonathan Taylor to feast and a lot of games, but Jonathan Taylor is doing a lot of the heavy work.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: When you look at the yards after contact and all that stuff, I mean, like he's doing the heavy lifting and he's got the ability to do the heavy lifting.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is a home run hitter and he is a guy who can turn out the tough yardage as well.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, Jonathan Taylor, unbelievable player, Trayvon Walker, if he can play in this game.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you also have Eric Armstrong's dead who's practicing.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: He started practicing on Wednesday as well.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you have those two guys back for this game against the Colts, and again, a game that if the Jaguar is win, they'll be, you know, primed to make the playoffs at the very least, if they win this game against the Colts, and Jacksonville, a place that the Colts have not won and over a decade,
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: They will be set up against the Jets next week in Jacksonville and the Titans to finish this season in Jacksonville.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: If they win this game, they are staring 11 wins in the face.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are right there.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: One of the biggest factors in winning this game, finding a way to win this game.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: is having Trayvon Walker and Eric Rarmstedt because they help your run defense.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you have Josh Hines Allen, Trayvon Walker and Eric Rarmstedt, all available combined with Devon Hamilton, who is the lynch pen of the interior of the defensive lines run defense, that's big.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's really big.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Trayvon is just such an unbelievable
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: athlete, strong, athletic, huge, he's got it all and he's really put it together.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: This season's been disappointing because he dealt with the wrist injury and, you know, been wearing different clubs and things of that nature and then the knee injury popped up.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's missed a couple of weeks since then.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, he's missed a lot of time, he hasn't been at 100% for most of the year, so it's probably not going to go down as one of these like banner years for Trayvon Walker in the regular season.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, if the Jaguars make the playoffs and he's pretty healthy for that, he can have himself a run, but that's looking a little bit too far ahead.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trayvon Walker, though, if he can play in this game, is going to help the Jaguars stop the run.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Same thing with Eric Armstrong's dad, which it feels like he's definitely trending towards playing.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trayvon Walker, getting on the field on Thursday, I think that means something.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I assume he'll probably be questionable.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: You'll find out an hour and a half before game time, whether or not he's suiting up, or you might get that report from Adam Shifter, Ian Rappaport late night, early morning, Saturday night, Sunday morning, about Trayvon, whether he's playing or not, sometimes you get those, sometimes you don't.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that's a big one to watch, and like I said, his ability
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: play the run, and then you talk about having Josh Hines Allen and Trayvall Walker as two really good Ed shedding run defenders on the edge.
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then Armstead and Hamilton on the interior, that would just be setting the Jaguars up to potentially be able to slow down Jonathan Taylor.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if they can slow down Jonathan Taylor and force Daniel Jones to throw the ball, I think that really bodes well for the Jaguars.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: not to say Daniel Jones can't throw the ball that he can't have some success with the weapons that they do have in the passing game, but that's the way you want to try to dictate this game if you're the jackwars.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the way you want to try to win as to slow down Jonathan Taylor, which they've done a pretty good job of in Jacksonville over the years.
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're going to a pretty good job, actually got damn good job slowing down just about every opposing running back.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've faced this year.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you can do that,
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: you're setting yourself up in a big way.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Another big development, Parker Washington, who left the game against the Titans with a hip injury, back at practice.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I wasn't there today, and the injury report isn't officially out yet, but you had multiple people reporting that Parker Washington and
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh... and travel walker back at practice you know d rock Justin Lewis all the all the people that were out there today i was not but parker washington back at practice that's huge for multiple facets of the game for the jackwares i mean he is probably the best partner and football i mean at least one of the most productive right now and a big part of that is the jackwares
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pot return unit doing a good job helping and in setting him up for sure, but a big part of that is Parker himself.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then as a receiver, he's been critical for the Jaguars over this stretch and he's been such a good player.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hard, hard nose, tough player guy who can really go up and compete, can make people miss break tackles.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, compete.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Compete his ass off.
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what Parker Washington does.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yes, now you have Brian Thomas Jr. back.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have Jacobi Myers in the building.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And those guys, you know, Jacobi's playing.
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: elite football, I'd say.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that that's a stretch to say the Jacobi's playing elite.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Brian Thomas Jr. coming off a good game.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Britain's strain playing damn good football.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Parker Washington is that kind of final piece to the puzzle.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yes, there's other guys that can't step up if Parker cannot go.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: but getting him back on Thursday, potentially having him for this game would be another really, really great development for the Jaguar.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if those two guys, who I mean, you're getting them back on the field on Thursday for a reason, it's try to get this, get them ready for this game.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have, there's no question about that in a moment.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if they can get ready, practice and show that they're ready to go, that'll, that'll be great news for the Jaguar.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: If Trayvon can't go, a lot of Danny Strigo.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: If Parker can't go, I think you see a combination of more Tim Patrick, more Austin Tramwell who they can bring up from the practice squad, more Diami Brown maybe, and really maybe a lot more 12 and 13 person out.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Liam Cohen likes to live in that world.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: He likes to get teams out of nickel on defense.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: at least two that you feel really good about.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Quentin Morris is playing good football.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, Brian's playing very good football.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Getting 13, getting Johnny Montau there, maybe Hunter Long, who knows?
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you'll want Parker back, that's the bottom line.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, still no Walker little.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he's in concussion protocol.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it looks like everyone else on the offensive line should be okay.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ezra Cleveland, Robert Hainesy, Patrick McCarry, is practicing this week after missing last week with the concussion.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tuma Doge is also practicing this week and then Anton Harrison is good to go, it seems like so.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Walker Little would be the one that you're potentially without this week and, you know, if you can't go, I think Cole Van Lannon, that that's what my guess would be, I think that the Jaguars at this point feel more comfortable with Cole Van Lannon on the field
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: A doga wasn't available last week, so we don't know exactly how that would have played out, but I think that Walker little probably not going to be able to go stuff to him as Wednesday and Thursday and get ready to go for a game, but, you know, asked to progress through the concussion protocol.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I would expect Cole Van Lannon and, you know, Walker little is a more physically talented and gifted athlete.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's not playing better than Cole Van Lannon.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: COVID-19 is playing a little bit more consistent than him right now.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see if that continues, if COVID-19 has to get out there.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then, do we win or not out there?
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you have Eric Murray potentially returning.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: My guess is he will be activated for this football game.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he's been a starter for the Jack Wars.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have Antonio Johnson, who's been playing career best football, impacting the game in a positive way.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then you also have
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ray Allen Lane who's been playing good for you as well, so and you know break last in case of emergency situation, one thorn hill is on the practice squad.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they've got some guys, you know, if do he's not able to play, but do we, you got to acknowledge even though he is a limited player,
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he's had some bad moments this year.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's also been playing very good football the last month, as most of the Jaguar's defense has.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's been really pretty damn excellent the last month.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Kudos to him for kind of flipping the script after a few rough weeks and playing good football.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's unfortunate he has a concussion, but you're hopeful that he can get healthy as well and in place and meaningful football for the Jaguar's down the stretch.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: That'll do it though.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all being here.
