• 1:00
  Speaker 1: this home matchup. Legends weekend coming up plenty to discuss. Today,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars continued preparation for this game against the Texans.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It was coordinator day at the podium. Earlier we heard
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: from Press Taylor, the offensive coordinator and of course, ball
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: security in the pocket is priority number one for the quarterback.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: A major issue a week ago always being ball aware
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in the pocket, having two hands on being secure in
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: your grip. Um, And you know that that's one of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the danger zones we talked about is in the pocket
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and the way he holds football. We continue to emphasize
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that an individual, continue to show him examples of good bad. Um.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: You know what happens quarterbacks, You get hit in the pocket,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you're extended, you're ready to throw the football. Something happens
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: from time to time. You know, we want to do
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: everything we can in our power with a drill work,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: which just emphasizing showing him good, showing him bad. He
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: understands that and and that's something he's he's working too.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Uh correct himself as well. Um, but yeah, it happens.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It was very unfortunately. The unfortunate part in that game
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: at least was there were two completely unforced you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we had a we had a quarterback center change, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: then we had one that just slipped out of the hand. Um.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: So that's a really the disappointing one when it when
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it happens in the pocket, it's gonna happen from time
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to time. You want to do everything you can to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: not let that happen. But we understand that. But the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: two unforced we're the ones that really really hurt us.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: As press sailor offensive coordinator. Let's rewind to Wednesday. Trevor
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Lawrence knows the final result is the most important thing,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of course, each and every week, but there were some
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: things to take away positive from last week's outing. Moving ahead,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I think the positive is, you know, seeing how well
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: we how well we can play, how good we can
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be when we where we don't make mistakes and we
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: don't shoot ourselves in the foot, we don't turn the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: ball over, when we play um in sync, when we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: complement each other offensively and defensively, and we saw us
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: jump out of that lead early, and it's just you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: being more consistent in doing that throughout the game. We've
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: done that the two weeks before, that's kind of what
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we did and saw the end result, and then this
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: week did that early and just didn't finish. So we
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: know we're heading in the right direction. But it's just
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: about consistency. Now to the defense. Two rushing yards allowed
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles last week and the losing effort.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Houston does like to run the football as well. Defensive
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: coordinator Mike cold Well today he said he knows they
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: can get back to that form. I think that's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that's part of it. He's another option that they have.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we were out
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of our gaps. We didn't play fundamentally Sounds, so we
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: got to get back to doing what we do well.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: What they do is at least the first three weeks
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of the season lead the league in rushing defense. That's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: from Sound earlier this weekend. Today coordinator day, We welcome.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Welcome in. Jeff Lockman, Jaguars analyst. Hey, good afternoon, afternoon.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Here we are. Week five is five already already, we're
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in October. It's the Jaguars in the Texans. Cool weather
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in the air, feels like fall, autumn in the air.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It's almost dear season. It is that you're fired up.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's the biggest smile of scene in you're facing a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: long time. It's it's it's October. I can I always
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: look forward October because you know October is kind of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the start of fall down here and where you wake
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: up in the morning and you feel like you've got
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: some fifty degree sixty degree mornings and you don't feel
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: like you're gonna just be sweating all day. And so
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of nice. And it's especially nice when
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it when it comes to football time because that weather
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is cool. It's like, you know, have you ever have
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a dog, JP, I've had a dog. Yes, okay, I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: have had a dog in my past. Have you have
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you noticed that when the weather cools off, the dog
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: just has a little higher amount of energy. Well, that's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the way it is, JP. You obviously not a dog guy.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You haven't had very many of them, because I can
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: tell you the people that have dogs know that when
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the weather cools off, the dogs get excited. Well, when
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it comes to football season, the dogs get excited about
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: football too. And I'm talking about the football player dogs. Okay,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because the heat of the summers out of here, it's gone.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It's time to play ball, and you feel like you've
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: got a little bit more endless amount of energy because
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the weather is cooler. Well, I got news for you.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Last week's game was cool and wet and rainy and sloppy,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and it didn't serve. That didn't serve the Jaguar as well.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: At all. It was a little it wasn't a little cold.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It was you know, I can tell you that playing
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: in games that are wet and cold or wet and cool,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, are not a lot
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of fun. And uh and it was kind of one
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of those games where you you can sit there and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: say that before the game, and we talked about this
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: on our radio broadcast. You know, you gotta protect the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: football when you have an inclement weather, and you weren't
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: expecting the ball to be turned over possibly six times.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, because it could have been six, right, James
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Robinson had it on the turf when he got stripped
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from behind, and so it was on the ground five times,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: five fumbles, an interception. I mean, that's just man. You
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: talk about inclement weather having an impact. There you go,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it's two teams. Eagles didn't seem to have much of
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: an issue with that. Well that's always the deal, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And it's the same weather for both teams. Um, you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: give the Eagles credit. I mean, that's you know what.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: They did a great job with it. They protected the ball.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They were the more physical team, both on the offensive line.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Their offensive line is one of the better offensive lines
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: in the league. I'll tell you that they've got an
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: excellent right tackle in Lane Johnson. The center, Jason Kelsey
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: has been a really good football player. I think it's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: his thirteenth year and he's still a top five center.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, still a top five center in his thirteenth year.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You know, the guards are solid players. Jordan Mylotta, who
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: ended up going out early in that ball games a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: good football player, but his replacement came in and they
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: never missed a beat. Let's move it ahead now for
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense, Trevor Lawrence. Of course, the five turnover
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is one interception in the red zone. The four lost fumbles,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that's an NFL record for a single player at a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: single game, and it's you don't want to have that
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: regular attached your name. Well, moving ahead now, you know
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he seems like he has the head on his shoulders
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to just move past that. It's that you know, you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: don't want to give the ball away anytime. But he
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: didn't throw four interceptions in bad places in the secondary either.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: These seem a little more fixable than maybe you would
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: be more concerned if he's throwing four picks. Well, well, yes,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and no, I mean at the end, at the end
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: of the day, it's still the same number, you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: as far as giveaways and so but I guess my
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: point is there's still confidence in his ability to see
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the field and downfield. I get what you're saying, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that as far as okay, this is something that us
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it's just to unawareness thing. Whereas if he's throwing four
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: interceptions in a game, you're going, wait a minute, what
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: what's he seeing. But from the standpoint of actually in
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the game, the interceptions might be downfield and then you're
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: not giving up great field position by following that the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So maybe from that standpoint you would
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: either have the fumbles. But but I get what you're saying,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and it's certainly Um and Doug talked about this and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that it's there. There's plenty of coachable teachable moments in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the game and plenty of him. For Trevor, when he
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: is in the pocket and he has rush, you've got
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to keep the ball tight, use your other hand at
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: times if need be. You got to feel the pressure.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: You've got to adjust in the pocket. And on the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: two that Jowan Taylor got Bull rushed back into him.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: He didn't feel it. He didn't protect the ball the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback sneak where he fumbled the exchange. You gotta get
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the snap before you start lungeing forward. The snap look clean,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It looked like it came up, So I wouldn't put
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that on Fortner, the rookie. And then on the scramble
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: out of the pocket, you know, you're carrying the ball
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: like a loaf of bread and you just you can't
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: just lose the grip on it, you know, So a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: tough lesson for Trevor. And then on the interception. The
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: interception was a poor decision. You know, he had an
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: underneath guy and I think of Jamal Agnew that he
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: had opened undernything and you had you had it perfect.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: What I mean, you had it perfect. You had one
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: guy on the defense that was forced to cover two
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and a half guys, So you had exactly what you wanted.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You just needed Trevor to make the right read. Well.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: The defensive back, Bradberry kind of guesses on the play
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and guests correctly that Trevor was gonna throw it to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Kirk and he just stepped right in front makes the pick.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: If you throw that to Agnew. You know, Agnew's got
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, last time I checked how many return
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: touchdowns as Agnew have nine? And then he count the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: field goal return for a touchdown. So I mean, Jamal
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Agnew an open space with one defender to beat, I'll
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: take that any day of the week, right with a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: potential blocker in front and Christian Kurk, you know, so
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Trevor's got to throw that underneath and uh and then
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: live with it. And then he had some plays that
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he missed down the field, so all in all, you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the one thing I appreciate about Trevor is that he
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: never shies away from taking accountability or being an accountable quarterback.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And he talked about it, and he said that after
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the game, he did it just like he would after
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a good performance. You know, he reviewed the film on
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the plane and then to kind of put it to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: bed so that the next day when they meet about
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it and talk about it, that he's prepared to uh,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to be able to get better, make the adjustments and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: listen to the coaches and then move on. And that's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I think very smart. So he's a very mature quarterback
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: JP and I think we all kind of realized that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And this is kind of a measuring stick, a test
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence. Can he bounce back against a division
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: opponent that many people believe that you should beat and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: bounce back from the game that you had in Philadelphia?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Za Jones Smith last week's game wide receiver with an
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: ankle injury that popped up on the report Thursday of
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: last week. He's back on the report this week, limited though,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and back out on the practice field. Some how different
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of an offensive attack? Can this be? With a did
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: we see? How much different did they do without him
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: in the lineup last I don't think it had much
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of an impact because the reality is that the conditions
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: weren't great. So, I mean, Za's kind of a take
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the top off of the defense threat, and uh, you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you definitely missed him because he's a good football player.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: But you know, Jamal Agnew came in and did a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: pretty good job. So I mean, you know, it's hard
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to complain on that. The reality is is that Trevor's
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: got to be better. Christian Kirk has to be better.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: He did not have a great game. Marvin Jones didn't
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: have a great game. He had a drop as well.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That ended a streak. I think of a hundred and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: seventeen consecutive games with a catch and it would have
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: been one eight team, but he had the drop. You know.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: So it goes around, you know, as far as the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: accountability responsibility of the poor performance on offense, but boy,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the majority of that load falls right at the doorstep
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence. This week, the Jaguars faced the Houston Texans,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and I gotta say, who are these guys on defense?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: For them? This is not the Texans defense that you're
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you're accustomed to over the last decade or so. They've
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: had so much change in personnel and people and scheme
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and and everything's just new in Houston. Who are these guys?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Will you tell me? I mean seriously, I mean it's
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you know, the J. J. Watts and uh Merciless, Whitney
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Whitney Merciless. I mean, all all those great players that
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they had, They had great linebackers. I mean they you know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: they had really, really, really good defenses in and that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: has kind of gone by the wayside. And and right now,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: if somebody asked me who the best Texans defender is,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I really couldn't give you an answer, because I don't.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're very good. I don't think they're
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: very good in the front seven. I don't think they're
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: great in the back end. I think they've got some
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: young players that I think, uh that many people believe
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that they can be good. You know, their second round
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: pick Petrie from Baylor's good player, good young player. And
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: then they've got Derek Stingley, who is their first round
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: pick corner from l s U. Who really, JP, did
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: he play any in the last two years For the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: most part. He was banged up a lot the last years,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: banged up a lot, and he's supposed to be ah,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: this exceptional man kind of coverage corner. It was for
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a year, I mean three years ago. But JP, they
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: played cover to zone with Lovey Smith. It's like, Okay,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? Um? And maybe they're drafting for
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the future when Lovey Smith is not the coach. You know,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Petrie and he's around the ball a lot,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: like three tackles for losses. Couple of receptions. He actually
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: had one of the first young or one of the youngest.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I think he's one of the only rookies to ever
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: have two interceptions in a sack in one game, and
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: he got that against the Bears earlier this year. But
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: many think he's a talented, a young player. But the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: front seven is where you really need to take advantage of,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: because look, Petrie is a young player. So if you're
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: kicking their rear ends up front to where you're running
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the ball effectively and old. By the way, the Texans
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: are the second worst run defense the National Football League.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Now the Texans are having to get out of cover two,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: they're got to load the box to delete their coverage
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit. And so now you can find big
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: plays on the back end. But you find that after
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you established the running and you take advantage of what
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I would consider um not a great front seven. You
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: know when you when you watch them, you know and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: there's you know, veteran guy Jerry Hughes, Um, Jerry Hughes
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: played for the Colts, played for the Buffalo Bills. Was
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a very good sacker. He's got four sacks this year.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: But man, when you watch him play the run, he's terrible.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It's terrible. Running right at him every time. I mean
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm seriously running at him every time the guy goes
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: up the field. Takes himself out of the play every
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: single time, you know. And the linebackers, you've got Christian Kirksey,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: who has been a good football player, veteran player, plays hard,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and then grug A Hill came gru j Hill who's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: an outside, uh weak side linebacker that does a good
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: job and he's a try hard, play hard guy. But
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I mean as far as talent, I mean, they just
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of talent. Their defensive tackles
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: JP nameless guys, I mean seriously, nameless guys. They're just guys.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: So it's the running back day. Then run the ball
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: right well, and that's I think that's where it's gonna
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: come down to, um when from a lot a lot
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of different angles from the Jaguar standpoint, taking advantage of
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that front seven, and then also from a defensive standpoint
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: that you need to stop Damian Pierce, who's a very
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: good young running back of the Texans. We'll come back
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and flip it around to the Jaguars defense and their
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: matchup this week against the Houston Texans. R I Productions,

• 17:16
  Speaker 1: on Legends weekend. We'll get that. It's gonna be a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: fun weekend, I think. So let's get into this Jaguars
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: defense in the matchup against Houston on offense, and you
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: mentioned it, we'll get to the quarterback coming up with
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Damian Pierce young running back. They're handing him the football.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: He's coming off a nice game last week, and you
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: know they you have his at least on Jaguars dot
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Com if you're watching. The guy was in the end
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: zone twenty three times at Florida in his career. It
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: was not a huge yard gainer there, but he could
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: cap it off and finish drives in the end zone.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: But here he is in Houston and he gets a
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: lot of work well, and that's really what they're leaning
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: on right now as an offense. And the impressive thing
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: about Pierce is that every week he's gotten better. You know,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: he's almost doubled his yarded je output on a week
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to week basis up until this past weekend. You know, uh,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: this past weekend he had I think a hundred and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: thirty one yards rushing fourteen carries. He had the seventy
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: five yard touchdown run. And the impressive thing is that
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: he makes people miss and he doesn't go down easy.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: He ended up having six broken tackles in this game
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and one hundred of the hundred and thirty one yards
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that he gained were after contact. That's impressive and so
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it's not like he's a runner that just had clear
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: sailing with these great, big, massive holes to run through.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Now he's got a couple of guys up front that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: are pretty good up front, and a lot of people
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: may know the right guard very well, a j can right,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: former Jaguar. He is the starting right guard for the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans after starting here at right guard for many year,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: since going all the way back to the draft where
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: he was a third round pick. The right tackle I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: really liked Titus Howard. I think he's a young, ascending player.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: The left tackles a proven commodity and is a really
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: good player in Laramie Tunsel. The center and left guard
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: are kind of at the left guards a rookie who
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: really struggled last week against the Chargers, and that's Kenyan Green,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: who was their second first round pick, and he's from Texas,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: A and M big guy, big guy, and he has
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: moments he looks really good, but man uh Tillery, the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: defensive tackle the Chargers kind of had his way with
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: him a little bit. And then the center right now
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: is Question Berry, who is a backup. Their normal center
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: is has been hurt, so it's an okay offensive line,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: but that's really the motor of this offense is the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: running back, because their quarterback has regretsed from what many
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: people thought was was a pretty dang dang good rookie
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: years Avios Mills, quarterback out of Stanford, still a young
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: player in the NFL, and yeah, there were a lot
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: of people who had him as kind of taking some
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: big steps. But so far this year yards five touchdowns,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: four picks already this season for Mills. To give people
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: an idea what I mean by regrets, I mean you
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: go back to last year, he was completing the ball
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: at a sixty six point eight percent clip. This year
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: it's fallen off to sixty his touchdowns. Last year he
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: actually had more touchdowns than interception sixteen touchdowns at ten interceptions,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and this year he's got just one more touchdown than
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: interception five to four. His rating has dropped about eight
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and a half points this year, and that's just not
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: supposed to happen in year two for a young quarterback.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: So I think he's got an average arm. You see
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of completions in the in the short to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: intermediate and in the middle of the field. I don't
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: think he has the armed talent be able to work
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the outer edge. As in perimeter of a defense back
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to this running game, and of course last week the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Jaguars defense gave up rushing yards to the Eagles fully fought.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Akasi is on the injury report this week with the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: quadraceps injury. He did not practice again today. Yeah, I
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: don't see him playing. It's not trending the right direction
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: will say that, so, um, you know, how concerned are
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: you with the interior this Jaguars defensive line right now?
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Without fully if he's not available, well, well very I
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: mean that that I think was the number one problem
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: with the defensive performance last week was the performance of
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: those three guys up front. You go to the two
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: previous games against the Chargers and against the Colts, the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive front absolutely dominated both of those teams. From
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Devon Hamilton to Fota Kasi to Roy Robertson Harris too.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Uh uh, even Big Gun drawn a Black Adams. I mean,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: they were all all of them dominant and those two
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: games and then you go against the Eagles and they
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: got pushed round and when they got pushed around a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: little bit, the and we knew this that it was
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: was gonna be a challenge to face this Eagles offense
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: because it's a run pass option read option offense with
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, who has good mobility. He's not Lamar Jackson.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: But the style of offense that they run it can
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: make you indecisive. Well, when you have three guys up
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: front that are getting knocked around a little bit, then
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that makes it even harder for the linebackers to have
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: something declare to where they can attack it downhill. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: so it was a little bit of a perfect storm.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Bad performance, you know, up front, not not what you
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: wanted out your three big guys. I think the scheme
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: early on wasn't exactly probably what they wanted. And then
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the indecision by the ironbackers. And then also look the Eagles,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: give them credit, they're good football team. And then you
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: have to account for the quarterback in that offense in
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia too, So that's an extra body you you have
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: to count for. Well, a lot of people don't don't
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: understand that concept. And to give it to him from
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a from a number standpoint, when when you try to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: out number the offense, and as far as like stacking
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the box, you know you're trying to stack the box
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you want, you know, and they say, hey, we got
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: eight guys in the box and they've only got seven blockers.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: We've got an unblocked defender. Well, when the quarterback becomes
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a viable runner, you don't have you lose that advantage
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: because you now don't have one guy that can't be
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: blocked because he can be blocked because of either the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: fake handoff to the run to the running back. Now,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Mr Rex, that eight unblocked guy and then the quarterback
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: is now a viable runner or the running back could
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: be a blocker. But then also when you have the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: rp O where you sticking in the running backs belly
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: and then you're thinking, as defense, Okay, is he gonna
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: hand it off for is he gonna keep it? Well,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: there's actually the third option is he's not gonna do either,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna just pull it out and throw the ball.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: And that's why facing that kind of an offense is
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: incredibly difficult for a linebacker. And in those games you're
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: you're upfront guys, they have to have a really strong
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: performance and they didn't get that against the Eagles. Then
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: take us through the linebacker performance last week and moving
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: ahead for a guy like Lloyd and uh well, well,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and you have to jp that that's not the only
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: two linebackers on this defense. We and I think sometimes
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: people say, well, you know, Trayvon Walker and Josh Allen
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: aren't linebackers. Well, yeah they are. They are in this defense. Okay.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I thought that all four of them were a little
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: reluctant as as far as attacking the run and a
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: little unsure. I think it was arguably and not Josh
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: so much. But with with Foyer, Lucan, Devin Lloyd, and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker, I thought it might have been their worst games.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: But I mean, they haven't had bad games yet, so
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I mean when I say worst games, and it's all
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: relative to where they were at, especially with Devin Lloyd.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Devin the two previous games was fantastic. Um As a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: as a pass rushing group, you kind of noticed a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: mindset that that was a little different. They were very
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: concerned obviously about what Jalen Hurts could do if he
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: got out of the pocket, and you could tell that
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: from a couple of different ways they were. They were
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: pass rushing by taking some of these linemen down the middle,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and when you take an offensive lineman down the middle,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you're trying to power rushing, But then you can peek
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: either side of that offensive lineman to come off and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: make a tackle of Jalen Hurts if he decides to scramble.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: But what that does. It kind of takes your aggressiveness away,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and in some aspects it took away the power because
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: instead of center massing a guy, bull rushing him down
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the middle and hitting him with power, they weren't hitting
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: him with power. They were too busy doing in the bield. Yeah,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: what's going on back there with Jalen Hurts instead of,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you know, power rushing. Just play your game. And I
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: would bet that. And I know that if if I
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: was a coach or if I was a player, that
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I'd want to do it differently the next time. I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be I wouldn't be so cautious maybe or as
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: concerned about Jalen Hurts the next time. We'll come back
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: in a moment, we'll take a look at the injury
• 26:36

  Speaker 1: two and two first place in the a f C South.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Time now for the injury Report presented by Baptist Health
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine provider
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and we take a look first,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: of course, at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Four players on the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: report today outside linebacker Calevan Chaison with an ankle issue
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: limited today, Za Jones with his ankle issue limited. Also,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Cole Van Landing, offensive lineman with a hamstring issue limited today.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Fully Vatakasi did not practice today with that quadriceps issue
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: suffered in last week's game in Philadelphia. On the other
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: side today, the Houston Texans on Thursday had five players
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: that did not participate in the practice today. That was
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: this morning. They practiced early in Houston. Linebacker Blake Cashman
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: with a concussion, Austin Deculous, offensive lineman with an ankle issue,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: did not practice, Jonathan Greenard defensive lineman ankle issue, Brevin
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Jordan's tight end with an ankle is you did not practice,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and wide receiver Chris Moore with a hip issue did
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: not practice. No One limited today and a few guys
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: who were out earlier on Wednesday. We're back to work
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: or we're limited yesterday. We're back to work full today
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: for the Texans. So there you go. The early couple
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: of weeks, the Jaguars didn't have anybody on the list,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: which is odd. I mean, it was the first time
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I remember that happening. But now a couple of guys
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: starting to creep on there. We mentioned Phidokasi and the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: impact that could make on the run defense for this
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Jags team, Chase on special teams contributed for the most
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: part right now for the Jacks, and then day Jones
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: obviously a starting wide receiver for this team. So you
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: gotta get those guys healthy and back out there playing. Yeah,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: they'll be they'll I think they're trending in the right direction.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: You know, Doug was pretty confident early in the week
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: when he said that all those guys will be back
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: at practice, and typically when you say that as a coach,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you're pretty confident that they'll be back available, possibly for
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the game. So we'll have to wait and see to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: know more. But the fact is the one that you're
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you're worrying about. They've got a guy on the practice
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: squad though who it's not kind of your typical practice
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: squad guy. In his thirteenth year, Corey Peters. Okay, Corey
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Peters has been in the league for for quite some time,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: been a good football player, big stout guy and uh,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: got good hands. He's uh, he's a large dude, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I think if he has to play, I think he'll
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: play well. And I'm not concerned about that overall. You know,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: he's you're not as uh. I don't think he would
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: have as much range as a fai. When I say range,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: as far as he can. He can make tackles somewhere
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: in this room, JP, but if he has to be
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: out of this room, he might not make it. You know. Five,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: So pretty big year in the league. He's been around
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: a long time. He's where else he played. He started
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: out in Atlanta, so he was with the falcon from
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and then with Arizona after that every year since then. Okay,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: so two teams, a hundred fifty two games, hundred thirty
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: two starts in his career. He got some Milo John
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: you know, nineteen sacks, big nose tackle is not gonna
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: get back there a whole lot, but you know, impacts
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: plays fifty tackles for loss in his career and he's
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: been what did he do last year? Last year? How
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: many games played? Eleven starts? So he four tackles free
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: for a loss. I mean he was, he was active,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: he played. Yeah, that's a that's the luxury the in
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: this COVID world we live in now with the expanded
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: practice squad, it gives you the ability to really have
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: more people on a roster than what you used to have.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Fifty three and the practice squad used to be limited
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: to kind of developmental guys and now you're allowed to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: put veteran guys on it. And it was like ten
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: guys when when I first started here ten years ago.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the practice I mean the practice squads, we
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: didn't even used to have them. You know, a few
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: years back, there was no such thing as as practice squads.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And then then they added the practice squad and it
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: was a minimal number of guys I want to say,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: it was four or five and they had to be
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: UH rookies or first year players. And then they expanded
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the number of practice squad and then then they changed
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the rule about there were the number of years of service.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: You could have one guy or two guys on the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: practice squad that were past, you know, two or three
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: years in the league. And then now it's like you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: do where you want happened, and they expanded you can
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: put you know, Joe Namath on your practice squad if
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: you wanted to. You know, yeah, if his knees could
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: handle it. Well they can't. Joe's knees are bad. No, yeah,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. So you have it. Uh yeah,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: A few things to watch for the next day or
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: so when the official status comes out Friday for both
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: these teams, and you know it's a big divisional matchup
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: of course coming up. Hey, the matchup that they have,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the Texans have owned eight in a row and fourteen
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of the last six team. I mean, that's the only
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: wins in that time, both the season sweeping seventeen for
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the run to the My prediction this
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: week is that, look, you ended You're what was its
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen game road losing streak when you went out
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to California and you beat the Chargers in l A.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: So you ended that streak, and I think that you
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: end this streak this week with the Texans by beating
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: them at home here at t i A Bank. You
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: know what I think about that too, is that and
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: kind of I think Doug Peterson talked about this earlier
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: in the week. You know, they breaked all these streaks
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: because they don't really care about these streaks because not
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of these guys were here. Yeah, I mean,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: these guys weren't part of it, but the fan base
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: was were But that's their approach to it. It's like,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna go set a news standard. Well, and
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and here's the reality. Okay, when one to three weeks ago,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: you were getting ready to face the Colts, right, the players,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of them that are here. I didn't know
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: what it was the past history was with the Colts.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: But what did you hear them all saying after the game? Okay,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: they're all saying, yeah, you know, we always felt confident
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: playing you know, we always feel confident playing against the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Colts in our own house. Okay, so you don't think
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the Texans are kind of doing the same thing. And
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: maybe the the mindset of the Jaguar players is is that, hey, look,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you know this Texans team has had our numbers. So
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, if something doesn't go well early in that golf,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: in that ball game, are you as a player going, oh,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: here we go again? Right? I mean I don't know.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I mean that's just it's something to think about. And
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the reality is that the Texans have you look at
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: their record against all of their opponents that they've ever played,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: they have like a six five win percentage against the
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. This is an expansion team the Houston Texans were,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: and that's I think the second highest rate of success
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: versus any team that the Texans have played. I think
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the higher rate is that they're like, I think, undefeated
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins and I can't remember one other
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: team they played. They've got a really really good win percentage,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: But as far us in the division, that's their best
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: win rate is against the Jaguars. So you know, and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: and here's the reality. We all know that this is
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: different than college football, even though this year we've seen
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: i think app State beat Who this year. Okay, so
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: we've seen that in college football, but in the NFL
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you always know that the old saying on any even Sunday,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: and that does apply. But the reality is that the
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Texans are a team that is in transition and rebuild mode,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and and and so are the Jaguars. They are in
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: transition with a new staff and new players. But the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Jaguars are a little bit ahead of where the Texans are,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and so you want to see the Jaguars show that
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: that they are ahead of where the Texans are by
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: putting an end to this streak, especially because it's Legends weekend,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: where I should say Alumni weekend, because a lot of
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: US alumni are not anywhere near close to Legends status.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Who's who's naming this? Yes? And there's that a self
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: name that's like, do we give ourselves that in home?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Hey, we'll come back though and get
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: a little more into that some of the events ahead
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: this weekend for the alumni players coming back. Tony Boselli
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: got the key to the city today. He already has
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: like five of them. I think. Do you think he
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: can make me unlock most doors in this town if
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: he wanted to. I'm not to take that key to
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the hardware store and get one made. I don't know
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: he'll fit in the machine. If you're looking for the
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: m v P of the truck game, then look no
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: further than four to f one fifty. Loaded with impressive
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: capability and design to dominate, work, play, and everything in between.

• 37:14
  Speaker 1: this is the Jaguars Digital Network, Jacksonville Sports Talk for
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville sports fans. Ten ten x our home of the
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. Welcome back to Jaguars Happy Hour on a
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagman and if you're
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: watching on Jaguars dot Com or Jaguars Social media, a
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: live look outside of the bank at the Miller Electric
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Center under construction right next door, and the footprint of
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the old practice fields. We're not the old practice fields,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: but the newest old practice fields that will be once
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: do again once this is finished. The indoor facility is
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: just moving along day by day along the expressway on
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the far side, and then the main building is massive.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: The fields are starting to the grand stand at least
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: on the side of the field is starting to go up.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of progress this week. Yeah, So do
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you know where the where the old field practice field
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: used to be, well at Daily's Place now right and
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: that or that that kind of area that Yeah, that's right.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: At the end of the state. The first the first
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: place that we ever like conditioned on for for all
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: season conditioning training, et cetera. We actually went out to
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: the old baseball grounds right here in the parking lot
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: where this is now correct, and then Wilson Park, Wilson Park,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: and then uh the when the old Glidden paint factory
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: was knocked down, they built this pristine, beautiful practice facility
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: on what I'm sure was maybe a little bit of
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: a contaminated area. We practiced there for a few a
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: few years and then it was moved to where it currently.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: This whole project is going on right now, but it's
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be an amazing complex and it's gonna,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: you know, put the Jaguars up with the modern NFL teams,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: because it seems like every team in the National Football
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: League has a facility that's something similar to this. I mean,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: remember we went to Minnesota for training camp. They have
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: their own facility and on their own place out outside
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: of Minneapolis. Yeah, there's this a little unique and that
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: it's not at the stadium number one. But then there's
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: a whole development involved with the training facility. There's a
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: medical complex, there's a stadium there that houses or paths
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: host high school football games, championship games, and I think
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: you probably even could have a college game there. And
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: then they have all this whole development that UH in
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and around that medical facility. So quite the undertaking in Minnesota, yea.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: And then of course we're in Atlanta for our branch.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: And they were the first ones that that place is fantastic, Yeah,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: they were. They were the first ones to really build
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: the suburban tight monster complex. And and they have I
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: don't know exactly how many acres they have. I'm gonna
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: say it was like forty acres in the in the
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: range of forty acres. Because the players back in the
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: old day, they were actually deer hunting on the grounds
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: of the facility. I knew some guys that were with
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: the Falcon that used to deer hunt right there and
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: UH and then he built these um apartment kind of
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: complex down below the house the whole team for training camp,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: and then they expanded the facilities UH in a in
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: a big way. It's it's it's quite the it's quite
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: the place. Well, you mentioned the old practice fields and
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: many of the players who are returning this weekend practiced
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: on those fields. It's Legends Weekend. Tony Vaselli will be
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: honored at halftime. He will be presented his Ring of
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Excellence from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The first
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand fans receive a Tony Basselli Number seventy one
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: teal rally towel courtesy of Baptist Health and you can
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: take pictures with Basselli's Hall of Fame bronze bus starting
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: at ten o'clock Sunday morning in the fan Entertainment Zone,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: and you can catch a screening of seventy one, the
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes documentary that's at Daily's Place at eleven
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: o'clock as well. So a lot going on Sunday, A
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: lot of guys coming back on Alumni Weekend. Yeah, I'm
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: looking forward to it. I haven't seen the list yet.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: With with everybody that's coming back, I know that one
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: of my all time favorites is coming back and I'm
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing. I'm Tony Brackens, who was one
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: of the most talented, one of the great Jaguars in
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: its history on a great pass rusher, a great athlete,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: super guy in uh super successful now post playing career.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: UM Uh, always a big fan of Tony Brackens, one
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: of my favorites. And then as we mentioned at halftime, uh,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Jaguars owner Shot Con will be out there on the
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: stage as well, and there'll be a special announcement commemorating
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: but Selli's legacy. Not sure what that is. We'll find
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: out at halftime. So like going on and what else
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: is happening with the alumni this weekend? Events? All weekend? Yeah, there's, uh,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: there's quite a few different events. I think they start
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: on Friday where there's a thing at Top Golf, and
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: then there's a Saturday breakfast and then they get to
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: come and turn around it. Yeah, that's that's gonna be.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: There might be a few fellows that I amout say it.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying feeling a little rough at breakfast on Saturday.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless they come in and'll they'll be able to
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: watch the practice. I'm sure they'll get to meet some
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: of the players and and the coaches. You have to
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: walk through on Saturday. And then Saturday evening there is
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: a at the Ritz Theater downtown and it's gonna be
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: like a cocktail or derves thing for are the former
• 43:00

• 43:04
  Speaker 1: one and that will end soon after that, and then
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: everybody who had their separway, and then there's Game Day.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: They got a tailgate party going on with family and
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: friends of Tony and former players and and then uh,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: players are gonna be at the game. I think they'll
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: be out there for at the halftime the presentation of
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Tony's Hall of Fame ring. So it's gonna be cool.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: It is gonna be cool, and it's turning. You can't
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: wait to see the ring. Yeah, it's huge, right, Well,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I I don't know. That's fine, They're pretty big. I'm
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: sure it's probably like I don't know, if it's is
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: a big and gaudy like the Super Bowl rings in
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years that you can't even wear
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: him on a day to day basis, because it just
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: we always joke it with Tony put your arm down
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: on Mondays with with Priscoe that he should wear the
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: jacket on the air, And he actually had it in
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: here the other day for something some shoot he was doing,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: and we we couldn't talk him into it. He had
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: a T shirt on and he wouldn't. He didn't want
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: to wear on the show and have Prisco, you know,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: rip him for it. But maybe the ring. Maybe we
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: can get him to wear the ring on the show
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: and he could show it on the I don't know.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: We'll see, Yeah, we'll see. I don't It's it's hard
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: to talk him into some of that stuff. I don't know. Well,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: look uh because if you know, we we we like
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: to give him a hard time if he were the
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: gold jacket and the radio broadcast s booth weed to
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: be It's like, oh, we've have fun with it now.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: But it's cool. I'm I'm super excited for him and
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: super happy and excited to have some of these former
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: players come in to celebrate with him, because you know
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of those you know, the cool thing about
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Tony is is the humble, how humble he was with
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the whole process this summer. And then when he decided
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: what was gonna go in his locker at the Hall
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: of Fame, I thought was it's gonna touch a lot
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: of guys hearts that played with that team because the
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: team autograph football is in his locker at the Hall
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: of Fame, and I it's pretty pretty unique. That's really cool.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Everybody's in there with him if yeah, exactly, and and
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: so we're you know, all of his former teammates are
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: just celebrating with him and very happy for the moment,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and and hopefully excited to watch
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Jaguars win against the Texans. Speaking of the Texans and
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars coming up in Week five, the Jags at
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: two and to the Texans at oh, three and one.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: They've been in most every game. They lost a big
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: lead week one to tie that game against Indy, then
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: lost two tight wins the next two weeks, lost by
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: ten last week to the Chargers. The Jaguars are looking
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: to bounce back after a loss last week in Philadelphia
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: to go to two and two and now eight straight
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: losses against the Texans. Fourteen of the last six team
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: have gone to the Texans as well. But hey, lugs
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: wins this week and next against Indy, all of a sudden,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: it would be three and oh in the divisions. We're
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: moving ahead and Area on Wednesday on huddle up, it's
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: a lock Jaguars win. Moving on to Andy, it's gonna
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: be three and oh in the division. Want to start
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: talk about getting ahead of yourself. I mean, let's just
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: you know, look, get this one and enjoy this one.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: And and I know I honestly didn't know who we
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: had on the schedule after this week the rest of
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: the games. It look the Colts, I think will be
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: much improved by the time the Jaguars faced them again.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I'm when you've got a veteran quarterback, you're gonna figure
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: it out at some point. And so I think that
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: they will not be the same team that the Jaguars
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: faced here a couple of weeks ago. And this Texans team,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: how many times have we said in years past, Oh,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars are gonna win this one. You know, it's
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: the Texans. You know, they're they're a dumpster fire. Oh
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: they're terrible. And I'm just like when I'm talking about
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. Now, the reality is that they're
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: a pro professional football team. Okay, So that means that
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: they can win, and if you don't play well, they
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: will win. So you've got to make sure that you
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: play well. Quit making self inflicted errors, fumbles, overthrows, drops
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: out of gaps on defense. All that's gotta go away.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: And if they do, they can hang with any team
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. They've proven that at least a couple
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: of times. And you know, you gotta have your quarterback
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: play well. I mean that's you know, that's kind of
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: a n each and every week type of thing. And
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: at the very least you can have your quarterback, you know,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: hurt you with giving the ball away. And we've never
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: seen anything like that with Trevor Lawrence. And I think
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: he's gonna bounce back. I think he's mentally tough. He
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: has been mentally tough for a long time. Otherwise he
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have had the success that he's had nearly at
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: every level that he's that he's been at. And so
