0:03

0:12
Speaker 1: Jaguars news with the head coach. The Jaguars Coaches Show

Speaker 1: starts right now and welcome in to the Jaguars Coaches Show.
0:19
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, Jeff Loghman, and Jaguars interim head coach
0:23
Speaker 1: Darryl bevil As the Jaguars trying to move forward to
0:27
Speaker 1: week number seventeen, the New England Patriots away to in
0:30
Speaker 1: Foxboro this week. The first we'll go back and review
0:34
Speaker 1: this Jets game from last week. A lot of COVID
0:37
Speaker 1: nineteen updates. We'll get to that coming up in just
0:39
Speaker 1: a little bit. This is a wild one in the Meadowlands.
0:42
Speaker 1: Last week. Came down to the final drive and just
0:45
Speaker 1: unfortunately a yard short at the very end, but the
0:48
Speaker 1: ball in the hands of the franchise quarterback with two
0:51
Speaker 1: minutes to go. It's not a bad place to be.
0:54
Speaker 1: It's just gotta finish at some point. Yeah, not a
0:56
Speaker 1: bad place to be, you know. I was really proud
0:58
Speaker 1: of the guys just in terms of asked him to
0:59
Speaker 1: contin and you to you know, to play the game.
1:01
Speaker 1: Don't judge the game wherever it is. Just keep fighting
1:04
Speaker 1: and keep playing. And it was a crazy game, you know,
1:06
Speaker 1: went back and forth, a lot of things happened. But
1:07
Speaker 1: to have the opportunity, I think it was what was
1:09
Speaker 1: it to go to get a chance to go down
1:12
Speaker 1: and win the game, you know, is where we want
1:14
Speaker 1: to be. I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least, Darrel,
1:18
Speaker 1: that here we go a December game in New York
1:21
Speaker 1: and the weather wasn't half bad. How often do you
1:24
Speaker 1: get that? Yeah, I mean we're kind of excited about that.
1:26
Speaker 1: And you expected to be super cool. When you look
1:28
Speaker 1: at the schedule, you know, and you see, uh, you
1:30
Speaker 1: see the Jets, and you see uh, New England here
1:33
Speaker 1: late in the season, you you kind of expect it
1:34
Speaker 1: to be pretty cold. And when you go into a
1:36
Speaker 1: game like that against the Jets team and okay, they're struggling,
1:39
Speaker 1: you're struggling, and you see that they have a number
1:42
Speaker 1: of COVID got COVID guys, uh that are out for
1:45
Speaker 1: the ball game. What does that do to your mind?
1:48
Speaker 1: And what does that do to mindset for for for
1:50
Speaker 1: a team getting ready to face the team that has
1:52
Speaker 1: those issues, because you guys have dealt that, especially dealt
1:56
Speaker 1: with that for two weeks in a row. Yeah. Um,
1:57
Speaker 1: you know, really the thing that I've been working on
1:59
Speaker 1: with these as just our mindset. You know, I want
2:01
Speaker 1: the mind mindset to be anytime, any place, anywhere, and
2:04
Speaker 1: you know, we we don't worry about that stuff. Who
2:06
Speaker 1: they have, who they don't have. You know, let's let's
2:08
Speaker 1: play in a parking lot where wherever we want to go.
2:11
Speaker 1: Um and and the games called what we'll go play
2:13
Speaker 1: And so that wasn't the focus. The focus was more
2:15
Speaker 1: on us and and playing clean football, playing a clean
2:18
Speaker 1: football game. I think we did that for the most part.
2:20
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think we had a penalty, I know,
2:22
Speaker 1: until later in the second half. So some of the
2:24
Speaker 1: things that we're asking them to do, I think they
2:26
Speaker 1: it did show up in the game. Back to the offense, now, Daryl,
2:29
Speaker 1: some changes obviously in the play calling last week. Brian
2:31
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer upstairs, you're down on the field. How did it go?
2:36
Speaker 1: I was the communication and how involved were you and
2:40
Speaker 1: and talking to Trevor and Darryl and things on the
2:43
Speaker 1: field after place. Yeah, I thought it went really well.
2:45
Speaker 1: You know, I thought Brian did a great job for us. Um,
2:47
Speaker 1: it was it was a good change up we got,
2:49
Speaker 1: We got some good momentum. We were able to play
2:51
Speaker 1: the game the way that we wanted to play it.
2:53
Speaker 1: You know. Um, there was a lot of good play
2:54
Speaker 1: action passes. I thought Trevor did a great job of,
2:57
Speaker 1: you know, looking down the field. When the shots were there,
2:59
Speaker 1: he took him. But when it wasn't there, he was
3:01
Speaker 1: able to check the ball down, kept us in normal situations.
3:04
Speaker 1: So there was there was a lot of good there.
3:05
Speaker 1: I thought the communication was well um and um, you know,
3:09
Speaker 1: I was able a couple of times go over and
3:10
Speaker 1: talk to the quarterbacks on the sideline, could be a
3:12
Speaker 1: voice for him that for him there. Um, And you know,
3:15
Speaker 1: I thought it went well for the first time out. Yeah,
3:17
Speaker 1: the shots down the field, I thought he made really
3:19
Speaker 1: good decisions with that. The protection was critical to allow
3:23
Speaker 1: him the time to do that. And I thought the
3:24
Speaker 1: offensive line played good overall. But but Darryl, I mean
3:27
Speaker 1: there were some opportunities down the field that just you know,
3:29
Speaker 1: you you missed those opportunities. Whether the balls were dropped
3:31
Speaker 1: or whatever you wanna call it. But you know, guys
3:34
Speaker 1: gotta rise up and make a play for your football
3:36
Speaker 1: team and those situations, and it was disappointing that you
3:38
Speaker 1: weren't able to make a couple of those. Yeah, for sure,
3:40
Speaker 1: we had a couple of those shots. I know one
3:42
Speaker 1: was in the end zone, what was down inside the
3:43
Speaker 1: ten yard line, and you know, you know, you really
3:45
Speaker 1: expect our guys to come up with those balls. We've been,
3:48
Speaker 1: you know, we've been harping on it. We've been asking
3:50
Speaker 1: for those throws to be put down the field and
3:51
Speaker 1: and Trevor did a good job responding that way. I
3:54
Speaker 1: don't want early in the game on the left side
3:56
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, to tread Well. Was we gotta
3:58
Speaker 1: pass interference. You gotta big game there. And then those
4:01
Speaker 1: two other ones that I talked about, We gotta make
4:02
Speaker 1: those plays and pull the balling for him. Well, the
4:04
Speaker 1: the amount of aggressive play calling out of you guys,
4:08
Speaker 1: and and also the Jets, the Jets going forward a
4:10
Speaker 1: bunch on fourth down. You guys going forward on fourth down,
4:13
Speaker 1: in fact, a fourth and one, you hit a big
4:15
Speaker 1: play to La Kwan Treadwell. Special teams, fakes, I'm sitting
4:19
Speaker 1: there going, man, this is about as entertaining of the
4:21
Speaker 1: game as you're gonna get. As far as having the
4:23
Speaker 1: aggressive play calling nature, Yeah, I thought it was. It
4:26
Speaker 1: went went pretty well that way. You know. Um, we
4:28
Speaker 1: took the ball for one of the first times, and
4:31
Speaker 1: you know when you when you took the ball and
4:32
Speaker 1: wanted to be aggressive that way and can't go three
4:34
Speaker 1: and out when you take the football, you know, and
4:36
Speaker 1: it put they put us into situation on a shorter
4:38
Speaker 1: fourth yard or fourth down, so we were able to
4:40
Speaker 1: get the fake pond. I thought our guys executed well.
4:43
Speaker 1: Um again another fourth and one where we took a
4:45
Speaker 1: shot down the field. Just things that we saw, things
4:48
Speaker 1: that we had game plan and I thought Shoddy really
4:50
Speaker 1: put us in good situations there. Yeah, the special teams
4:52
Speaker 1: score on the kick return that hurts two weeks in
4:56
Speaker 1: a row. And and Braxton Barrios, you guys knew it.
4:58
Speaker 1: I mean, good football player, pro ball alternate. He also
5:01
Speaker 1: was a big part of their offensive game plan with
5:03
Speaker 1: you guys gotta make a play there. You gotta get
5:05
Speaker 1: the guy down. Yeah, you have to. I mean it's
5:07
Speaker 1: happened two weeks in a row. As you said Jeff,
5:09
Speaker 1: And and uh, you know, that's that's things that cannot happen.
5:11
Speaker 1: We have to get it corrected, and we should have
5:13
Speaker 1: had it corrected this week and we and we you know,
5:15
Speaker 1: the thing that displayed me the most was we didn't
5:17
Speaker 1: get off blocks, we didn't close from the backside, and
5:20
Speaker 1: we didn't even make the guy break stride, you know,
5:21
Speaker 1: I mean he he really caught it and just ran
5:23
Speaker 1: right where he wanted to. So, uh, we definitely got
5:26
Speaker 1: to clean up that area, regardless of all the issues
5:28
Speaker 1: that we're having. And uh, you know, it changes the
5:31
Speaker 1: game when a play like that happens. Interim head coach
5:33
Speaker 1: Darryl Bevil joining us. Unfortunately in the game this past week,
5:37
Speaker 1: of course, James Robinson went down non contact injury, torn achilles,
5:42
Speaker 1: done for the year. It's an unfortunate situation for a
5:46
Speaker 1: guy who's been battling the whole season to get on
5:48
Speaker 1: the field. When he's on the field, he's playing well,
5:50
Speaker 1: and then to have this happened so late, it's got
5:52
Speaker 1: to be frustrated. Yeah, it's I know, it's really frustrating
5:55
Speaker 1: for him. It's it's a big blow for us. He's
5:57
Speaker 1: such a you know, such a rock for our team,
5:59
Speaker 1: and um, he does. He's great for us in the
6:01
Speaker 1: locker room. He's kind of, you know, one of those
6:03
Speaker 1: heart and soul players. And to see it happened the
6:05
Speaker 1: way that happens, you know, the second he went down,
6:07
Speaker 1: I knew exactly what it was. And UM, you know,
6:10
Speaker 1: he's he's he's a guy that's gonna be tough to
6:12
Speaker 1: replace in these last two games. But you know, I
6:14
Speaker 1: I talked to James. I mean, he's got great mindset
6:16
Speaker 1: and you know the way that he works, then I
6:18
Speaker 1: you know, I have no doubts that he'll come back
6:20
Speaker 1: stronger than ever. The advancements and modern medicine to go back.
6:24
Speaker 1: You know, remember Dan dan Rado had his torn achilles
6:26
Speaker 1: and he limped a limped around forever with that. But
6:29
Speaker 1: I mean, guys today it seems like they recover from
6:32
Speaker 1: things like that with no problem. So so that's a
6:35
Speaker 1: positive nature thing for for James and for your offense.
6:38
Speaker 1: I thought Trevor Lawrence maybe had his best game since
6:41
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. I thought that he showed confidence,
6:45
Speaker 1: he was decisive, he had better accuracy this week. Did
6:49
Speaker 1: you see the same thing I did, Jeff? You know,
6:51
Speaker 1: I thought he did a great job, but like I said,
6:53
Speaker 1: managing the situation of the game. Um, you know, he
6:55
Speaker 1: took the took what was there, and he did throw
6:57
Speaker 1: the ball accurately for us, and you know, found guys
7:01
Speaker 1: open down the field, took the shorter check downs when
7:03
Speaker 1: he needed to. Um Again, the thing that we're gonna
7:05
Speaker 1: continue to harp on is his ball security. You know,
7:07
Speaker 1: I thought the one play where he ended up fumbling
7:10
Speaker 1: and they and they recovered it, Uh, that was an
7:12
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to save the play, you know, and understand, Hey,
7:15
Speaker 1: this is a bad situation. I'm already moving out of
7:17
Speaker 1: the pocket, just moving and and throw the ball away
7:20
Speaker 1: and we can move to the next down. Let's go
7:22
Speaker 1: to that last opportunity at winning the ball game. They're
7:25
Speaker 1: the drive at the end. First of all, the first play,
7:26
Speaker 1: you guys come out with your running levels route and
7:28
Speaker 1: a big completion of Tavon Austin. It was a thing
7:31
Speaker 1: of beauty. Really nice throw by Trevor. You put a
7:34
Speaker 1: few more plays together, Trevor is doing a really good job. Also,
7:37
Speaker 1: when you got four verticals, he takes off and runs
7:40
Speaker 1: and now you got first and goal at the five
7:42
Speaker 1: yard line. At that point, what's your mindset as a
7:45
Speaker 1: play caller and even though you're not calling the plays,
7:47
Speaker 1: but as a play caller and as as a head coach. Yeah,
7:50
Speaker 1: I think there we had really good communication. I just
7:52
Speaker 1: told Shoddy you know there was it was as you said, Jeff,
7:55
Speaker 1: first and five from the from the five, and we
7:57
Speaker 1: had thirty two seconds to go, so we ought to
7:59
Speaker 1: be able to have no problem getting four plays. And
8:01
Speaker 1: that was that was the mindset there, to make sure
8:04
Speaker 1: that we got all four of our downs. Um. You know,
8:06
Speaker 1: the first first down we threw it. We threw it
8:08
Speaker 1: to the left. Um, really don't need to make the
8:10
Speaker 1: throw into the flat. You know, there was other guys
8:12
Speaker 1: we could go to or just you know, just airmail it.
8:15
Speaker 1: And it was good. It was incomplete, no big deal. Um.
8:17
Speaker 1: And then the second down, that ball was you know,
8:20
Speaker 1: the ball was tipped. Um, we caught it in the
8:22
Speaker 1: end zone. I don't know if you guys looked at
8:24
Speaker 1: it or if you've seen any TV copies, but sure
8:26
Speaker 1: on the coaches film, um, it looks like an opportunity
8:29
Speaker 1: for them to be able to stop the game there
8:31
Speaker 1: and replay that to see, you know, with the ball
8:33
Speaker 1: across the goal line or not. Um, And then on
8:35
Speaker 1: third down we killed it four down. You know, the
8:38
Speaker 1: reason that you kill it on third down was to
8:40
Speaker 1: give us the best play on fourth down. You know, Um,
8:43
Speaker 1: I would like to see us do something different on
8:45
Speaker 1: third down. I think we could have got into a
8:46
Speaker 1: play so that we really get four good opportunities there. Um.
8:50
Speaker 1: But you know, when you kill it and then you
8:52
Speaker 1: get your last play, you can't have that mistake that
8:54
Speaker 1: we had where we had guys in motion not lined
8:57
Speaker 1: up correctly. That just can't happen, you said earlier, and
9:00
Speaker 1: you're gonna send the play to the league. Did they
9:02
Speaker 1: get back to you? What's the process on that? Not
9:04
Speaker 1: that it would change the result, Yeah, it doesn't. I
9:06
Speaker 1: mean it comes back. It hasn't come back, but we
9:09
Speaker 1: will send it in the league. But it just comes
9:10
Speaker 1: back with you know, what they what they thought, and
9:12
Speaker 1: what would have happened on the play. Um, if they
9:14
Speaker 1: agree with apparently, if they don't agree, it should have
9:16
Speaker 1: been a touchdown, shouldn't have been. But you can't tell
9:18
Speaker 1: anybody anyway either. So you know, it's just like, uh, yeah,
9:21
Speaker 1: you should have scored or should it not scored? You know,
9:23
Speaker 1: it's it. It doesn't do much, but um, I would
9:26
Speaker 1: I would like to know the information though. I want
9:27
Speaker 1: to know why the play wasn't stopped and at least
9:30
Speaker 1: taking a look at I mean, it looked really close.
9:32
Speaker 1: It definitely looked like when Marvin touches it that the
9:35
Speaker 1: ball might be across the plane of the goal line.
9:37
Speaker 1: But maybe when he secures it, he he's out. But
9:40
Speaker 1: I mean, regardless of what your opinion is, it certainly
9:43
Speaker 1: is is worth taking a look. And when you go
9:45
Speaker 1: into that to go back to that first down play
9:47
Speaker 1: that I was talking about and you were talking about
9:50
Speaker 1: and you said, maybe maybe throw somewhere different tread walls
9:52
Speaker 1: and option on the right. Maybe there uh. And then
9:55
Speaker 1: the second down play boy uh went right through the
9:59
Speaker 1: hands of Seed A. Moseley on that play. So you're
10:02
Speaker 1: a little kind of called off guard. Maybe there is
10:04
Speaker 1: is maybe a perfect situation in there, and if you
10:07
Speaker 1: have a little bit more of a veteran experienced quarterback
10:09
Speaker 1: that you give him two plays after an incompletion on
10:12
Speaker 1: first down, so that he is in the event that
10:15
Speaker 1: you have a play that is complete or the clock
10:18
Speaker 1: has not stopped and he can get the the offense
10:20
Speaker 1: lined up so you're not clocking it on third down?
10:22
Speaker 1: Is that the optimum situation in that situation, Daryl, exactly.
10:26
Speaker 1: You know, we have a couple of ways to be
10:28
Speaker 1: able to do that, Jeff. One is to give him
10:29
Speaker 1: to plays, but we have other mechanemics, mechanisms to get
10:33
Speaker 1: the play done really quickly. And um, you know, um,
10:36
Speaker 1: that's something that we should have been able to get
10:38
Speaker 1: down there. Darrel will come back in just a moment
10:40
Speaker 1: and get to the COVID nineteen list. It is growing
10:44
Speaker 1: by the day and how that affects the football team.
10:47
Speaker 1: This is the Jaguars Coaches Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
10:55
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Jaguars Coaches Show continues right now. Jaguars
11:01
Speaker 1: Game day broadcasts are presented by Vice Star, Credit Union,
11:04
Speaker 1: Do Good Bank, Better, j P Shadrick, Jeff Lagerman, and
11:08
Speaker 1: interim head coach darryld Bevel. The Jaguars and New England
11:11
Speaker 1: Patriots coming up this coming Sunday recapping the Jets game.
11:15
Speaker 1: We just did that a moment ago. Well. COVID nineteen
11:19
Speaker 1: is a topic throughout the world, obviously being around the NFL.
11:23
Speaker 1: The names on the COVID nine team reserve list are
11:26
Speaker 1: beginning to add up. The Jaguars were touched by that.
11:29
Speaker 1: Of course, going into last week's game with a handful
11:32
Speaker 1: of starters out including the day of the game, you
11:34
Speaker 1: find out Miles Jack's not able to go. Uh. Then,
11:37
Speaker 1: of course Monday, ten or eleven more names are added
11:41
Speaker 1: today earlier three more names added to the list intensive protocols. Now, So,
11:48
Speaker 1: first off, what does intensive protocols mean? And second, how
11:53
Speaker 1: do you go about when you keep adding names to
11:56
Speaker 1: the list of who's available and who's not. That's a
11:58
Speaker 1: great question. I mean, it's it's been a whirldwin last
12:01
Speaker 1: couple of days and trying trying to figure this out.
12:03
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of moving parts, a lot
12:05
Speaker 1: of things are changing, um men, you know, minute by
12:07
Speaker 1: minute and um. So the first thing is the intensive
12:10
Speaker 1: protocols were put in um that we that um were
12:13
Speaker 1: masks in the buildings at all times that were either
12:16
Speaker 1: virtual or spread out in our meetings, you know, where
12:19
Speaker 1: we're all apart other you know, other things outside the
12:22
Speaker 1: building where you're gathering together. You know, those kind of
12:24
Speaker 1: things is what the intensive protocols put us in, you know,
12:27
Speaker 1: to try to get this thing under control. I think
12:30
Speaker 1: last week, the Jets had eleven or twelve players that
12:32
Speaker 1: were on the COVID list. They have two coaches, including
12:35
Speaker 1: their head coach, Robert Sala and and Ron Middleton ended
12:38
Speaker 1: up taking over for for the temporary head coaching responsibilities.
12:42
Speaker 1: Did did you know Ron at all cross paths with
12:45
Speaker 1: him at any point in your careers prior to game
12:47
Speaker 1: day on Sunday? Now, we haven't crossed passed anywhere. Um,
12:50
Speaker 1: And obviously I do know that I didn't know the
12:52
Speaker 1: name and who he was, but I didn't. I am
12:54
Speaker 1: not um coach with him or you know, been a
12:56
Speaker 1: part of staff. And when they when they write up
12:58
Speaker 1: a book that says here's the head coach coachain Manual
13:00
Speaker 1: for the National Football League, I don't think that they
13:02
Speaker 1: have a chapter ready for COVID yet. I mean, it's
13:05
Speaker 1: just crazy and what you guys are having to deal with.
13:08
Speaker 1: And I remember last year when the instituted all of
13:10
Speaker 1: these new rules, Darryl, with the the practice squad being
13:14
Speaker 1: as big as it was and the opportunity to have
13:16
Speaker 1: practice squad elevations, emergency COVID elevations, etcetera. I was sitting
13:20
Speaker 1: there going, boy, this is great and Unfortunately we didn't
13:23
Speaker 1: have to see it last year, but now we're seeing it.
13:25
Speaker 1: I mean, holy Kyle, I mean, thank goodness, you have
13:28
Speaker 1: some flexibility with the roster in today's day and age. Yeah,
13:33
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean with what's going on right now,
13:35
Speaker 1: I mean with this COVID, it's I mean, obviously it's
13:37
Speaker 1: hitting us hard, you know, I mean trans basically bunkerd down,
13:40
Speaker 1: trying to put a team together who you know, who's
13:42
Speaker 1: going to be on the field. But the other part
13:44
Speaker 1: of it is is the is the the protocols or
13:47
Speaker 1: you know, all the rules continue to change, so so
13:50
Speaker 1: by by tomorrow this time, the rules could be different.
13:53
Speaker 1: We could have all those guys back, you know, I know,
13:55
Speaker 1: the CDC has just changed some of their recommendations, So
13:58
Speaker 1: who knows where it goes. We just gotta stay flexible
14:00
Speaker 1: and we've gotta be able to adapt to the situation. Yeah,
14:02
Speaker 1: the what happened last week would with the Jets. I mean,
14:05
Speaker 1: you may end up even be faced with this situation.
14:07
Speaker 1: You don't know that. But it was a safety Will
14:09
Speaker 1: Parks that was with the Jets for for less than
14:12
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, and he was a starter for that
14:15
Speaker 1: game for the Jets and had to play the entire game. Yeah,
14:18
Speaker 1: I mean we're we're in that situation right now. You know,
14:20
Speaker 1: our our tight end room has been pretty much decimated
14:23
Speaker 1: as well as our outside linebackers, um, you know, in
14:26
Speaker 1: some other positions as well. So it's um, yeah, it's
14:28
Speaker 1: it's a tough situation right now. Yeah, when it comes
14:30
Speaker 1: down to that, when you when you have somebody who
14:32
Speaker 1: might just be straight in off the street, how long
14:34
Speaker 1: does it take for somebody to get game ready or
14:37
Speaker 1: is that even a fair question? How many how many
14:40
Speaker 1: days or left till Sunday? I mean yeah, I mean
14:42
Speaker 1: if if he's here, he's you know, he's gonna be
14:44
Speaker 1: able to play because we I mean, it's it's really
14:46
Speaker 1: that guy is gonna be in the game because because
14:48
Speaker 1: the other guys are on the COVID list, so um,
14:50
Speaker 1: you know, it just you you end up simplifying things.
14:53
Speaker 1: You find out what they know, what they can do,
14:55
Speaker 1: how how they can you know, adjust the language for
14:57
Speaker 1: him a little bit, and those kind of things to
14:59
Speaker 1: to be able to get him out there and play
15:01
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah. One of the things I think that's
15:03
Speaker 1: pretty clear because there's been such a evolving nature with
15:07
Speaker 1: the COVID rules if a player, and for this is
15:10
Speaker 1: for for your purposes and roster management, if a player
15:13
Speaker 1: is unvaccinated, he's essentially out ten days regardless. Is that correct? Okay? Now,
15:19
Speaker 1: if you have a player who is vaccinated according to
15:22
Speaker 1: the new guidelines, you just need to have them have
15:25
Speaker 1: two negative tests to be back on the roster. Is
15:28
Speaker 1: that correct? Okay? So in other words, that the testing
15:31
Speaker 1: facility and the job that those people are going to
15:34
Speaker 1: be doing for your football team are gonna be paramount
15:37
Speaker 1: to you having a roster to field on game day. Yeah,
15:40
Speaker 1: I mean right now, that's where we're at, the mercy
15:42
Speaker 1: of that, you know, and we need these guys to
15:43
Speaker 1: get negative tests unless the you know, unless again they
15:45
Speaker 1: change that they change the rules on us. Now, out
15:47
Speaker 1: of all these guys that you have, because you know,
15:50
Speaker 1: you read around the National Football League and there's not
15:53
Speaker 1: a whole lot of guys that have had extremely bad symptoms,
15:57
Speaker 1: I think the one I read about recently that did
16:00
Speaker 1: was Allan Robinson, former Jaguars currently with the Chicago Bears.
16:03
Speaker 1: Are are your players okay, because that's always the first
16:06
Speaker 1: and foremost concern, or are there any of them that
16:09
Speaker 1: you are concerned about. No, as far as I know,
16:11
Speaker 1: you know this this what is it? The third variant
16:13
Speaker 1: that we've had. I think this one seems to be
16:15
Speaker 1: um milder but maybe even more um contagious. So a
16:19
Speaker 1: lot of guys are getting it, but uh most of
16:21
Speaker 1: them just have very mild symptoms and uh so, so
16:25
Speaker 1: thank goodness, we don't have any majors issues right now.
16:28
Speaker 1: Darrel will come back in just a moment and look
16:30
Speaker 1: ahead to the New England Patriots and I'll see who's
16:33
Speaker 1: available for both teams this coming week. This is the
16:36
Speaker 1: Jaguars Coaches Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back. The
16:48
Speaker 1: Jaguars Coaches Show continues right now, j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logoman,
16:53
Speaker 1: Interim head coach Daryld Bevel on the Jaguars Coaches Show.
16:56
Speaker 1: The Jaguars head to Foxborough Gilette Stadium to face the
16:59
Speaker 1: New England A Triots. You've been in the league for
17:02
Speaker 1: a long time, Darrel, twenty one years, I believe. Now.
17:05
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've had to match wits with Bill Belichick
17:07
Speaker 1: a time or two in your career. What is the
17:10
Speaker 1: thing you have to prepare for the most when you're
17:13
Speaker 1: facing a Bill Belichick team. Yeah, he does a great
17:15
Speaker 1: job of of really game planning your team, you know.
17:18
Speaker 1: I mean that's I think that's something that he's always
17:20
Speaker 1: stood out for him and he's gonna have he's gonna
17:22
Speaker 1: have a plan for, um, your personnel, your team, and
17:26
Speaker 1: he's gonna attack you in that way, you know, so
17:28
Speaker 1: you can go about looking at all the all the film,
17:30
Speaker 1: look for all the Tennesseees and those things. But um,
17:32
Speaker 1: he's gonna have some some wrinkles just for you. Yeah,
17:35
Speaker 1: I've I've heard that before and some people who have
17:37
Speaker 1: even termed it and that he's got this this shelf
17:40
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm imaginary shelf here. I'm pointing out
17:43
Speaker 1: Darrel by the way. Okay, he's got this shelf, and
17:45
Speaker 1: he's got twenty playbooks. And you don't know which of
17:49
Speaker 1: the twenty playbooks that he's gonna pull off of that shelf.
17:52
Speaker 1: Because they people say that he can be so different
17:56
Speaker 1: from one week to the next. Is that the the truth?
17:59
Speaker 1: With his all defensive game plans at times, Yeah, it
18:02
Speaker 1: is the truth. You know, He's I mean, I was
18:03
Speaker 1: fortunate to be with a man patrician Detroit, you know,
18:06
Speaker 1: who comes from that lineage. And um, I've seen their playbook.
18:09
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was twenty, but I've seen
18:10
Speaker 1: the book and I mean it's it is pretty massive
18:12
Speaker 1: and at any point they can pull anything from it. Um.
18:15
Speaker 1: I think the most impressive thing is is what they
18:17
Speaker 1: do with their players. You know, the players are very flexible.
18:20
Speaker 1: They can use the same guys in many different roles.
18:23
Speaker 1: Particularly I'm talking about the defensive guys, um, and it
18:26
Speaker 1: could be a whole different game plan. The fronts can
18:28
Speaker 1: be difference, but you know, they use the guys in
18:30
Speaker 1: in different ways. And it's really impressive what he does. Yeah,
18:33
Speaker 1: almost similar in nature to a lot of what you
18:35
Speaker 1: see with the Baltimore Ravens, and that they they they're multiple,
18:38
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously that's been a goal of your
18:40
Speaker 1: defense with Joe Collen for quite some time. And Matthew
18:43
Speaker 1: Judean is a great football player, and you know you
18:45
Speaker 1: talk about being multidimensional or or being a multiple type
18:48
Speaker 1: of defense. That's a guy that fits. I don't care
18:50
Speaker 1: if you're playing three four four, three to five, it
18:53
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He's a good player, Yeah, really good player.
18:55
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's where their defense starts. You know,
18:57
Speaker 1: we have to hone in on him. Um, I believe
18:59
Speaker 1: he's on the COVID list as well, so you know,
19:02
Speaker 1: we have to see if that, you know, what happens
19:04
Speaker 1: during the week, if he ends up getting back or not.
19:06
Speaker 1: But he's definitely where their defense starts, and then Jackson
19:08
Speaker 1: on the back end can take it away to Pro
19:11
Speaker 1: Bowl corner. Yeah, very solid out there on the end
19:14
Speaker 1: on the edges. But um, the defense as a whole.
19:17
Speaker 1: You know, they do a great job of playing the
19:19
Speaker 1: ball through the possession. You know, they they they knocked
19:22
Speaker 1: the ball out. They've just been really impressive at getting
19:25
Speaker 1: the ball, whether all different kinds of turnovers, but even
19:28
Speaker 1: balls that don't get turned over, just knocking the ball
19:30
Speaker 1: out long to to separate you from a catch and
19:33
Speaker 1: those kind of things. They're really always making plays on
19:35
Speaker 1: the ball, all right, Darrel. You know, the last couple
19:37
Speaker 1: of weeks we talked about talking to quarterbacks in the
19:41
Speaker 1: pre draft process, that Jaguars certainly were in the market
19:44
Speaker 1: before the draft was past year, and you said you
19:47
Speaker 1: talked to last week's opponent, Zack Wilson as well. Did
19:50
Speaker 1: you talk to Mac Jones at all? How much DoD
19:52
Speaker 1: you know about Mac go again to the draft last
19:54
Speaker 1: year and and what have you seen from him so
19:56
Speaker 1: far this season? Um, yeah, we did not do. I
19:59
Speaker 1: did not do a how to work on Mac um
20:01
Speaker 1: and last year. But um, what I've seen this year is,
20:04
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he's been very impressive with the things
20:06
Speaker 1: that they're asking him to do. Um does a great
20:08
Speaker 1: job of managing the game. Uh. He gets the ball
20:11
Speaker 1: out very quick, He finds the open receivers, really really
20:14
Speaker 1: good at diagnosing and reading the defense. Um knows where
20:18
Speaker 1: to go with the ball, makes great decisions. So um,
20:20
Speaker 1: he's he's he's having a good year. I remember watching
20:24
Speaker 1: a Bowls high school football game, Darrel, and I'm sitting
20:27
Speaker 1: there in the bleachers and this Bowls quarterback was throwing
20:31
Speaker 1: the ball, and of course Quirky Rogers, the head coach
20:33
Speaker 1: of Bowls, one of the winningest all time coaches in
20:35
Speaker 1: high school football, never threw the ball hardly, right, he's
20:38
Speaker 1: he's one of these you know, you know, offense. And
20:42
Speaker 1: they finally threw a football and I went, man, that
20:45
Speaker 1: was a really nice thrower. With my friend Chris and
20:47
Speaker 1: I was like, Chris, who's that guy? And he said,
20:49
Speaker 1: that's Mac Jones. I said, they need to let him
20:51
Speaker 1: throw the football more. And I come to find out
20:53
Speaker 1: he goes on to Alabama and here he is. You're
20:55
Speaker 1: facing him this week with the New England Patriots. But
20:58
Speaker 1: even from a young age he could throw it. He's
21:00
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been prepared well. You know, um, whether
21:02
Speaker 1: it's there or whether it's at Alabama as well. You know,
21:05
Speaker 1: UM obviously understands um a pro style system does a
21:09
Speaker 1: great job of of running the system. Josh McDaniels, obviously
21:12
Speaker 1: one of the one of the best play callers in
21:14
Speaker 1: the league, does a great job of putting him in
21:15
Speaker 1: situations be successful. Uh. So it's uh, you know, he's
21:19
Speaker 1: doing really well. Yeah. The the completion percentage where he's
21:22
Speaker 1: a top ten completion percentage guy, I think is a
21:25
Speaker 1: testament to Josh McDaniels and also also how much they
21:29
Speaker 1: expose him in that system. I think that's an amazing
21:31
Speaker 1: number to have him in the top ten percentage completion wise.
21:35
Speaker 1: And uh and you talk about Josh McDaniels, what makes
21:38
Speaker 1: him so good? I mean, because he's been that one
21:41
Speaker 1: consistent factor. With a little sidebar trip to Denver for
21:45
Speaker 1: the most part with Bill Belichick and the Patriots for
21:47
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah. I mean, I think he's learned
21:50
Speaker 1: really well, number one from from Coach Belichick, and uh
21:53
Speaker 1: understands his personnel, how to use his personnel, how he
21:56
Speaker 1: wants to um to play the game. I don't think
21:59
Speaker 1: it's you know, he he has this blanket system. I
22:01
Speaker 1: think he plays UM that plays the opponent really well,
22:04
Speaker 1: tries to attack their weaknesses, UM gets his guys in
22:07
Speaker 1: good situations. I mean, obviously he had a good quarter
22:09
Speaker 1: you know, probably the greatest quarterback of all time for
22:11
Speaker 1: a lot of years. So you know, it's it's really
22:14
Speaker 1: cool to see him using mac Jones and then mac
22:16
Speaker 1: Jones having some of the same success in terms of UM,
22:20
Speaker 1: you know, completing the ball, moving the offense, scoring touchdowns
22:23
Speaker 1: and winning games. And I think the one thing that
22:26
Speaker 1: it stays consistent even from Tom Brady to now Mac Jones,
22:29
Speaker 1: the distribution of the ball with his offense. I mean,
22:33
Speaker 1: it's whoever's open is gonna get the football. He doesn't
22:36
Speaker 1: really have any star players so to speak of, and
22:38
Speaker 1: at offense, and I think that's one of the impressive things.
22:41
Speaker 1: But also the consistency of the offensive line play with
22:45
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, and they had a standard that
22:47
Speaker 1: was set from their offensive line coach that was there
22:50
Speaker 1: for years and his his name escapes me, but you're
22:52
Speaker 1: partner done. That's it. One of the arguably the best
22:57
Speaker 1: offensive line coach and the history of the National Football League.
23:01
Speaker 1: The job that he has been able to do with
23:03
Speaker 1: the talent that he had Darrel, I think has been tremendous. Yeah,
23:06
Speaker 1: I mean you definitely have to put him up there
23:08
Speaker 1: is one of the best of all times to do it.
23:10
Speaker 1: And you look at the talent level that he had.
23:12
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you have good players, but um, he
23:14
Speaker 1: did it with all different styles of offensive lineman you know, big, tall, short, small,
23:18
Speaker 1: I mean, every every level of player there and always
23:22
Speaker 1: really had about the same success level. And the guys
23:24
Speaker 1: protect really well. They take care of the quarterback, they
23:27
Speaker 1: do a great job of the pot building the pocket,
23:29
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, you have to give him a lot
23:31
Speaker 1: of props. Final thought with you, Darryl Bevel with a
23:34
Speaker 1: centerim head coach. A lot of noise going on the
23:37
Speaker 1: COVID night team list adding up but two games left
23:40
Speaker 1: to go. The challenge of keeping the team focused down
23:43
Speaker 1: the stretch here and certainly this week going to New England.
23:46
Speaker 1: How difficult is it? And and can you get this
23:49
Speaker 1: thing going? I really do think that's the biggest challenge,
23:52
Speaker 1: you know right now. I mean there's so many distractions,
23:54
Speaker 1: there's so many things going on, and you know, anytime
23:57
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're not in the hunt obviously for
23:59
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think that's you know, things creep in.
24:01
Speaker 1: I mean, there's human nature to all of us, and
24:03
Speaker 1: you know, the COVID list just just everything. And uh so, yeah,
24:08
Speaker 1: that that's the biggest challenge that we have this week.
24:10
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be really that hard with you know who
24:12
Speaker 1: who the opponent is playing, the New England Patriots. Um,
24:15
Speaker 1: you know, you always want to measure yourself against the best,
24:17
Speaker 1: and they've always been one of the best. Darryl, thanks
24:19
Speaker 1: for the time, Good luck to you, and let's let's
24:22
Speaker 1: get the team healthy and get back on track. Appreciate it. Yeah,
24:24
Speaker 1: let's do it. Thank you. Darryl Bevil joining us back
24:26
Speaker 1: with more. This is the Jaguars Coaches Show on the
24:29
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back. The Jaguars Coaches Show continues
24:41
Speaker 1: right now. Welcome back. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logaman
24:45
Speaker 1: or thanks to interim head coach Darryl Bevil joining us
24:47
Speaker 1: in the first half hour every Tuesday, one more to go,
24:51
Speaker 1: One more Jaguars Coaches Show on the schedule. That's next Tuesday,
24:56
Speaker 1: of course. And then uh and after that, you know,
25:00
Speaker 1: we'll see where where the Coaches Show will be out
25:02
Speaker 1: next year. There's um, you know, all those names on
25:06
Speaker 1: the list and everything going on today and um, that's
25:10
Speaker 1: where it is right now. By the way, the the
25:13
Speaker 1: league just announced, Yeah, this is this is this is
25:16
Speaker 1: big breaking news. Uh, this is breaking news. Reports now
25:19
Speaker 1: that the league and the players Association have agreed to
25:23
Speaker 1: adopt five days as the standard amount of time that
25:26
Speaker 1: players who test positive will have to quarantine. That applies
25:30
Speaker 1: to all asymptomatic players, whether they're vaccinated or unvaccinated, So
25:37
Speaker 1: players experiencing COVID nineteen symptoms will still be in quarantine
25:41
Speaker 1: after five days have passed. So that changes everything. If
25:45
Speaker 1: you're unvaccinated and you've tested positive and you don't have symptoms,
25:50
Speaker 1: after five days, you're back. You're back. That's a big change.
25:54
Speaker 1: It's a big change for everybody, and it means Carson
25:56
Speaker 1: Wentz could be a go if he's not having symptoms
25:58
Speaker 1: for the Colts this week, it means a couple of
26:00
Speaker 1: the Jaguars players that are reportedly unvaccinated could be. So
26:05
Speaker 1: do they have to test negative? Does not say? Yeah,
26:08
Speaker 1: I mean that's I think that's uh. I'd like to
26:11
Speaker 1: have that explained a little bit. If if somebody tests
26:14
Speaker 1: positive missional reports that have come out, so I'd like
26:16
Speaker 1: to see exactly what that means. Do they have to now?
26:22
Speaker 1: Is now testing twice negative? Does that now? Is that
26:26
Speaker 1: now not required? If there if they don't have any
26:28
Speaker 1: symptoms from this report, it says nothing about testing again. Okay,
26:32
Speaker 1: So that means that rules as well, like you don't
26:35
Speaker 1: have to just five days quarantine and after that you're
26:39
Speaker 1: good to go. That's the way it reads. If we
26:42
Speaker 1: have any clarification on that, I think we'll get it
26:45
Speaker 1: to you. But I read it interesting. I mean, well,
26:48
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the the league has seen that
26:52
Speaker 1: this latest variant is not any more worse than for
26:55
Speaker 1: the most part, than the common cold. And so I mean,
27:00
Speaker 1: how many times have you played Sports JP with a
27:03
Speaker 1: running nose, cough whatever? Yeah? Yeah, I mean played it
27:09
Speaker 1: with the flu? Uh? I remember when uh I was
27:13
Speaker 1: in Alabama somewhere was the Blue Gray Game at Mount
27:16
Speaker 1: Gummery Crampton Bowl. And it was nineteen eight it was Christmas,
27:22
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. It was Christmas Day, and uh, and I had,
27:26
Speaker 1: I had, and I was sick as a dog the
27:29
Speaker 1: night before that game. I felt bad for my roommate
27:32
Speaker 1: who was a linebacker from Memphis. I can't remember his name,
27:34
Speaker 1: but I have to look it up on the roster.
27:37
Speaker 1: But I got a nice guy. And I was in
27:39
Speaker 1: the bathroom literally all night, just sick as a dog.
27:42
Speaker 1: And get up the next day and I felt better.
27:45
Speaker 1: I didn't feel great, but I felt better and played
27:47
Speaker 1: the game. So I mean that nowadays, I mean, it's like,
27:53
Speaker 1: no way you can't play the game nowadays. But it's
27:56
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I mean, as this the way
27:58
Speaker 1: the future, I mean maybe, and I guess that may
28:00
Speaker 1: be how it has to be, because I mean, now
28:03
Speaker 1: you're looking at teams in the last couple of weeks
28:05
Speaker 1: that have had twelve, sixteen, eighteen, twenty people on the
28:10
Speaker 1: COVID list, and now teams are and and the reality
28:13
Speaker 1: is just the product has been effective a few times,
28:16
Speaker 1: sometimes it hasn't been, but it could get affected in
28:20
Speaker 1: a big way. And when it starts to happen like that,
28:23
Speaker 1: then I think some of the consumers are gonna say,
28:27
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is not this is not what
28:29
Speaker 1: I signed up for. So I guess it's just the
28:33
Speaker 1: natural progression of things. And CDC has done it for
28:36
Speaker 1: all Americans, so NFL's matching. I'm surprised the CDC hasn't
28:41
Speaker 1: like continued to be um puts the word to make
28:47
Speaker 1: things even more stringent. I mean sometimes that I mean
28:51
Speaker 1: that's it would be exactly. I mean, you would think
28:54
Speaker 1: that with all the more currencies in the less severity
28:57
Speaker 1: of it, that it would back off. But sometimes government
29:00
Speaker 1: and their decisions don't make a whole lot of sense.
29:03
Speaker 1: No matter the decades, we're back in a moment another
29:07
Speaker 1: especially for another time and channel. We're back in a moment,
29:11
Speaker 1: and we'll look at the Jaguars offense and the goal
29:15
Speaker 1: line situation at the end of the game last week.
29:19
Speaker 1: Not good. It wasn't good. I got down the field. Well,
29:22
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he got down the field. It was great.
29:24
Speaker 1: And literally I said, this is this is time for
29:26
Speaker 1: for Trevor's moment, and this is a great opportunity to
29:31
Speaker 1: to win and to show the value that you have
29:34
Speaker 1: and to lead your team to victory. And he did great,
29:39
Speaker 1: but the coaching staff didn't help him out much once
29:41
Speaker 1: they got down to the goal line. This is the
29:43
Speaker 1: Jaguars Coaches Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back The
29:58
Speaker 1: Jaguars Coaches Show continue right now. We're back, j P. Shadrick,
30:02
Speaker 1: Jeff Logan thanks to interim head coach Gerald Bevel. He
30:05
Speaker 1: joins us in the first half hour each and every Tuesday,
30:09
Speaker 1: five o'clock. One more show next week in the regular season, Well,
30:14
Speaker 1: Jaguar's offense had the ball in their hand, two minute situation,
30:18
Speaker 1: inside of two minutes, had to get down the field,
30:21
Speaker 1: got down the field, got the first and goal. Fantastic
30:25
Speaker 1: Trevor with the scramble and and gets out of there
30:27
Speaker 1: and runs and get down to the five yard real quick.
30:30
Speaker 1: On the on on the on the scramble, a lot
30:33
Speaker 1: of people thought maybe he should have cut back to
30:34
Speaker 1: the end side. That was not the thing to do.
30:37
Speaker 1: The first down throw that he had, if we can
30:40
Speaker 1: pull that back up again, it was not exactly the
30:44
Speaker 1: throw that you want to have. You're throwing a flat
30:47
Speaker 1: route to the running back and you've got two guys
30:49
Speaker 1: in the end zone and laquantrad Wolves on the other
30:51
Speaker 1: side with a one on one type of situation. That
30:54
Speaker 1: was probably more of the throw second down for very
30:58
Speaker 1: fortunate that c. J. Mosley does make that catch. Games
31:01
Speaker 1: over if he makes that interception, and then you could
31:04
Speaker 1: say that maybe Marvin Jones had it in the goal
31:07
Speaker 1: line or in the end zone and could have been reviewed. Yes,
31:10
Speaker 1: probably should have been. They spiked it with twelve, which
31:12
Speaker 1: was a terrible decision, the terrible decision. And on fourth
31:15
Speaker 1: down they can't get lined up, which is another terrible execution.
31:19
Speaker 1: So terrible decision, terrible execution at the most critical point
31:22
Speaker 1: of the ball game. I mean that at the point
31:25
Speaker 1: where you now have two guys in motion, it doesn't
31:28
Speaker 1: matter what happens unless it's the game's over. Trevor can
31:33
Speaker 1: throw a great pass, but and that's that was an
31:37
Speaker 1: example of the wide receiver Tavon Austin doesn't get lined
31:41
Speaker 1: up properly. I mean, that's very apparent from watching it.
31:44
Speaker 1: And this is not the first time that we've had
31:47
Speaker 1: wide receivers have issues with whether it be running routes
31:51
Speaker 1: or running into each other. I mean, that was like
31:54
Speaker 1: one of the most ridiculous players ever saw in Tennessee
31:57
Speaker 1: where he had two guys wide receivers run right into
31:59
Speaker 1: each other, like what are we doing? And he had
32:02
Speaker 1: instances earlier this year where quarterback and wide receiver on
32:07
Speaker 1: the same page. You're supposed to be running a stick route.
32:09
Speaker 1: Trevor throws a stick route and Leviska Schnault Jr. Is
32:12
Speaker 1: not running a stick route. That's a problem. Not a
32:16
Speaker 1: very good year by the wide receivers at all, and
32:19
Speaker 1: uh uh, pretty much be guaranteed there'll be some change
32:24
Speaker 1: in that group as well. I found an interesting bevil
32:28
Speaker 1: in the press conference after the game. And then get
32:30
Speaker 1: on Monday. You asked him earlier about that third down
32:35
Speaker 1: situation at the goal line. You know, sometimes if it's
32:39
Speaker 1: a more experienced quarterback, maybe you have a couple of
32:42
Speaker 1: plays in mind there. Hey, if this doesn't happen, we're
32:44
Speaker 1: gonna have these two plays third and fourth down. But
32:48
Speaker 1: we said that was the case, but you had you
32:50
Speaker 1: still had time to communicate a call. Okay, that that's
32:53
Speaker 1: twelve seconds that the clock was stopped at twelve seconds
32:57
Speaker 1: on the on the spike, so it's fourth down. You've
33:00
Speaker 1: got ten seconds to communicate a play call or not
33:05
Speaker 1: even ten seconds, because you need probably four seconds to
33:08
Speaker 1: execute a play, maybe five seconds, so you probably had
33:11
Speaker 1: another five or six seconds before you needed to snap
33:15
Speaker 1: the ball with the quarterback having the understanding which Trevor's
33:17
Speaker 1: brighten up by the way, that once the ball is snapped,
33:21
Speaker 1: the ball needs to be out of your hand either
33:23
Speaker 1: in the end zone for a touchdown or incomplete within
33:26
Speaker 1: a few seconds. Okay, you got about so five seconds
33:29
Speaker 1: because you gotta leave. All you need is one second
33:31
Speaker 1: left on the play clock for that last opportunity on
33:34
Speaker 1: fourth down. And I think that's a that was a
33:37
Speaker 1: major mistake by the coaching staff of spiking it on
33:42
Speaker 1: third downs. In a perfect world, you've got and look
33:46
Speaker 1: ten years from now, and not even ten years, not probably,
33:49
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years from now, Trevor's gonna
33:51
Speaker 1: line up and he's not even gonna need to get
33:53
Speaker 1: a call, maybe just get he'll get a code world
33:56
Speaker 1: from the coach and then he'll call it all himself.
33:58
Speaker 1: He'll know everything to form Asian et cetera. And and
34:01
Speaker 1: uh but you know, I mean that's that that takes
34:04
Speaker 1: time to get to that point. If if you're a
34:06
Speaker 1: young quarterback. And you can't expect a rookie to be
34:09
Speaker 1: able to do that, but the coaches should have given
34:11
Speaker 1: him the tools to execute that third down play, not
34:15
Speaker 1: a spike, but to execute a play. We'll returned. Jaguars
34:20
Speaker 1: defense gave up two D seventy three rushing yards last week. Yeah,
34:24
Speaker 1: that's that's uh, that's now what and and and the
34:28
Speaker 1: shame of it is is that the Jets were missing
34:32
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys in the front seven because of COVID.
34:36
Speaker 1: Quarterback had a big hand in it as well. That
34:39
Speaker 1: all coming up. This is the Jaguars Coaches Show on
34:41
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. The Jaguars Coaches Show continues right now.
34:48
Speaker 1: Welcome back J P. Shaddrick with Jeff Lockering. Glad you're
34:50
Speaker 1: along with us today on busy week. Hey, it's it's
34:54
Speaker 1: week seventeen, like going on COVID nineteen list reports earlier
34:59
Speaker 1: this week. Trent Talkey is back as GM. A lot
35:01
Speaker 1: of names being reported now that the Jaguars are chasing
35:05
Speaker 1: to interview or asking to interview as head coach candidates.
35:09
Speaker 1: So that's that time of year. It started officially today
35:13
Speaker 1: and there are two football games remaining as well. It's amazing.
35:16
Speaker 1: That's where we are. Almost forget that part. There's two football.
35:19
Speaker 1: I know, I know it says it's like you're you're
35:21
Speaker 1: ready to have the season be over with so you
35:24
Speaker 1: can you know, reset it, I guess you could say.
35:27
Speaker 1: But yeah, frustrating season. And uh, last year, at this time,
35:32
Speaker 1: you know, we were sitting there going, okay to first
35:34
Speaker 1: overall pick that's what you want, and and there was
35:39
Speaker 1: a celebration about that because you knew that the organization
35:42
Speaker 1: was undergo was going to undergo quite a bit of change.
35:45
Speaker 1: And then here here we are again, you know, with
35:48
Speaker 1: with change expecting on the horizon, and the extent of
35:51
Speaker 1: that change we don't know exactly. But it's just frustrating,
35:55
Speaker 1: you know, it's just frustrating. You'd like to have a
35:57
Speaker 1: little stability. You'd like to have. When I say stability,
36:00
Speaker 1: stability that's already in place, and you're feeling good about
36:02
Speaker 1: where you're at. I mean, look at all the teams
36:04
Speaker 1: that that had coaching changes this past year. Okay, uh
36:10
Speaker 1: name them okay, Jets, Robert Slim, yes, okay, and you've
36:15
Speaker 1: got Joe Joe Douglas is the GM. I think they're
36:19
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about it. I mean Jet fans frustrated
36:21
Speaker 1: because they lost a bunch and make no mistake about it,
36:25
Speaker 1: and that's just part of the reality. Uh. The San
36:29
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers Los Angeles Sin, I mean you would, I
36:35
Speaker 1: should just I should gotta stop saying saying that's fine.
36:39
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna call instead of the Washington football team
36:41
Speaker 1: call them by their own old name too. You got
36:45
Speaker 1: the l A Chargers with of course, they're a new
36:47
Speaker 1: head coach, Brandon Staley, and they feel pretty good about
36:50
Speaker 1: where there. I would say so sure. Arthur Smith and
36:53
Speaker 1: it don't feel real good about after this past game.
36:56
Speaker 1: They didn't know by the text, and that's an odd
37:01
Speaker 1: Later on in Texas are a winning streak of Smith.
37:04
Speaker 1: In Atlanta, they like him, and they realized that Matt
37:07
Speaker 1: Ryan Is is on his last leg and they're gonna
37:10
Speaker 1: have to find a young quarterback. They get that. They
37:13
Speaker 1: feel good about that situation. Dan Campbell in Detroit, Uh,
37:19
Speaker 1: I mean Detroit. Are they feeling good about Dan Campbell?
37:22
Speaker 1: I don't know if they feel great about it, but
37:24
Speaker 1: I think they they they have a coach that's likable
37:28
Speaker 1: and has put together In most circles, people would say,
37:32
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good staff. Nick Sirianni Eagles. I think
37:37
Speaker 1: they like him in Philadelphia and they realized that they
37:42
Speaker 1: may have some work to do it finding a quarterback.
37:44
Speaker 1: But I think they're feeling pretty good about him and
37:47
Speaker 1: the job that Jalen Hurts has done this year. And
37:50
Speaker 1: I don't know if they got Minshoe many of their
37:52
Speaker 1: not going along with Jalen Hurts, but they realized that
37:55
Speaker 1: they've got to find a quarterback at some point. But
37:57
Speaker 1: I mean that that My point is is that you know,
38:00
Speaker 1: most of the teams that change head coaches last year
38:03
Speaker 1: aren't happy with where they are, but at least they're like, okay,
38:07
Speaker 1: we we we we we started the process. Now we
38:09
Speaker 1: just need to keep going and we're starting a new
38:14
Speaker 1: and that's a little bit hard to stomach. Another refresh
38:18
Speaker 1: and that's that's what that's what it is for the Jaguars.
38:21
Speaker 1: But it was needed. I mean, good god, what a
38:25
Speaker 1: train wreck. It's been a rough year. I'll say that, Yeah,
38:27
Speaker 1: it's been a train wreck. Um. I mean, I don't
38:31
Speaker 1: think there's any other way to describe it. I mean, it's, uh,
38:35
Speaker 1: you know, between and I think the last two weeks
38:37
Speaker 1: kind of have made it even I think even more
38:41
Speaker 1: difficult because you had the drama with Urban and players
38:47
Speaker 1: obviously dissatisfied. You're not playing well, you're not doing a
38:51
Speaker 1: lot of the small little things to win as a
38:53
Speaker 1: football team, and then these last two games you're losing
38:57
Speaker 1: against franchise. I mean the y is the Texans were
39:01
Speaker 1: viewed as a dumpster fire. You got swept by the Texans,
39:05
Speaker 1: and you allowed combine i think sixty seven points in
39:09
Speaker 1: those two ball games of the Texans, which is highly disappointing.
39:12
Speaker 1: And then you get a Jets team that is hampered
39:15
Speaker 1: by injury and COVID issues, and you have an opportunity
39:19
Speaker 1: at the end and you make mistakes and you don't win,
39:23
Speaker 1: and you give up kickoff return for a touchdown the
39:26
Speaker 1: second week in a row. And I think that's the
39:29
Speaker 1: part that it's seventy three rushing yards, which was by
39:33
Speaker 1: the way, that's the most yards allowed rushing in the
39:38
Speaker 1: National Football League this year. Or you can look at
39:40
Speaker 1: it the other way that that's the most rushing yards
39:42
Speaker 1: gained by a team this year in the NFL's not good, coach, No,
39:48
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like, all right, can we get
39:52
Speaker 1: to the end of the year and then uh and
39:55
Speaker 1: please give us some hope. Well, I mean, but let
39:59
Speaker 1: me say this real. Even though these last three games
40:04
Speaker 1: you said you just want to close the book, Okay,
40:06
Speaker 1: you want to close the book, and you want to
40:08
Speaker 1: open another book whatever you want to call it, or
40:10
Speaker 1: open another chapter whatever books anymore? Yes, yeah, yeah, No,
40:15
Speaker 1: you read a book. J P. It's like it's called
40:17
Speaker 1: a book. Okay, paper, Okay, has a cover. But I like,
40:23
Speaker 1: what the opportunity, jeez, put that book away and put it.
40:30
Speaker 1: We're done with that book. I won't tell you what
40:33
Speaker 1: that book. We can do a book burning with that
40:35
Speaker 1: from a previous anyway, go ahead, but I lost my church.
40:39
Speaker 1: But my point is in the last couple of games
40:41
Speaker 1: that you have, you want to continue to see improvement
40:45
Speaker 1: with your young quarterback. I thought this past game, I
40:47
Speaker 1: thought he took a step up, and because the week's
40:51
Speaker 1: previous I thought he clearly took steps back. Clearly took
40:55
Speaker 1: steps back. He had accuracy issues, his feet got happy.
41:00
Speaker 1: The pocket presence that he showed wasn't great, but he
41:02
Speaker 1: got some good protection. He made some good throws, he
41:05
Speaker 1: made some really decisive decisions. The accuracy he still got
41:09
Speaker 1: to work on the execution of his wide receivers has
41:12
Speaker 1: got to get better still, But I liked what I
41:15
Speaker 1: saw out of him in this game. And this was
41:17
Speaker 1: a game I remember Jay Rob got hurt, and uh,
41:20
Speaker 1: it's not like Ogumba, which is terrible. By the way,
41:23
Speaker 1: you Gumbal. He wasn't exactly ripping it up now or
41:26
Speaker 1: that we're in the running game, wasn't ripping it up
41:28
Speaker 1: against the Jets defense that, oh, by the way, had
41:33
Speaker 1: a two defensive tackles, a defensive van, a nickelback, and
41:36
Speaker 1: two safeties out because of either COVID or injury. On
41:40
Speaker 1: that note, let's come back and look ahead to the
41:42
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the New England Patriots week seventeen. Look, look,
41:47
Speaker 1: I I always and and I'm dead serious about this.
41:52
Speaker 1: I really enjoy watching Bill Belichick coach teams because he
41:57
Speaker 1: is the best, Make no mistake about He's the best
42:00
Speaker 1: coaching football. And it's not even close. We'll return in
42:03
Speaker 1: just to moment. This is the Jaguars Coaches Show on
42:06
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back. The Jaguars Coaches Show continues
42:22
Speaker 1: right now. Welcome back is the Jaguars Coaches Show. J P. Shadrick,
42:27
Speaker 1: Jeff Blagaman, thanks to Daryl Bevil interimed code too, joined
42:31
Speaker 1: us in the first I need to get you a hour. Yeah,
42:35
Speaker 1: one of those days. So all right, The Jaguars face
42:40
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots this week a place in Foxborough
42:43
Speaker 1: that the Jags of number one, and the Jags did
42:48
Speaker 1: win the last meeting between the teams back in ten logs.
42:52
Speaker 1: That seems like it doesn't mean anything now. I mean
42:55
Speaker 1: that the teams are so vastly different. But the Patriots
42:58
Speaker 1: have lost the other last two games. Um, they lost
43:01
Speaker 1: the Buffalo a game that Buffalo needed in a big way.
43:04
Speaker 1: They lost the week before that in a in a
43:07
Speaker 1: game against the Indianapolis Coach where the Indianapolis Colts ran
43:10
Speaker 1: the ball. I mean really, well, Jonathan Taylor was an
43:14
Speaker 1: absolute beast in that game. Well that was a Thursday
43:17
Speaker 1: night game, right Thursday night in New England, Indianapolis. I
43:20
Speaker 1: think it was, yeah, two weeks ago. Yeah, So, uh
43:24
Speaker 1: so the Patriots really a little bit. This is a
43:27
Speaker 1: home game for them, and uh I know that they're
43:30
Speaker 1: they're looking to get a spot in the playoffs and
43:34
Speaker 1: go in with a little bit of momentum and n
43:36
Speaker 1: touch it should be a good football game just from
43:38
Speaker 1: the standpoint of Look, I'm excited about seeing Mac Jones.
43:41
Speaker 1: I watched him play when he was a young player
43:43
Speaker 1: at Bowls a couple of times, and obviously they didn't
43:46
Speaker 1: throw the ball a whole lot while he was there.
43:50
Speaker 1: You watched him, You watched him in Alabama. He was
43:54
Speaker 1: sat behind people and waited his turn, and then he
43:56
Speaker 1: got out there and he was fantastic, highly accurate passer.
43:59
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's a local kids. So it's cool, man,
44:01
Speaker 1: It's it's uh, it's it's gonna be a fun matchup
44:04
Speaker 1: of two young quarterbacks once again. And you know, right now,
44:06
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrences is oh and two in the rookie road
44:10
Speaker 1: games and an opportunity to win this one. It would
44:13
Speaker 1: be nice to knock off the Patriots for sure, and
44:15
Speaker 1: gets something positive around the Jags organization has been the
44:19
Speaker 1: heck of a week. So and I think that there's
44:22
Speaker 1: a relevant question is that doesn't matter? I mean, can
44:24
Speaker 1: you build something to go into the off season? And
44:28
Speaker 1: I say yes. A lot of people would say it
44:30
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that it's better to get the higher draft pick. Well,
44:34
Speaker 1: I'm not ability I'm not a big believer in that.
44:36
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a believer in that everything matters. Winning matters,
44:40
Speaker 1: and you've got to win every opportunity that you can,
44:43
Speaker 1: and especially when you have a young quarterback in place,
44:46
Speaker 1: you've you've got to have some positive results and to
44:49
Speaker 1: allow him to feel that success, for the fans to
44:53
Speaker 1: see that success, his teammates to see it and feel it.
44:55
Speaker 1: That will do it for tonight's show. Our thanks to
44:58
