0:06

Speaker 1: me and Mayfield, Yeah, absolutely wake up dangerous. Welcome in.
0:17
Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour, and it's Thursday, and it's week

Speaker 1: two and we've got a busy, busy show. Actually two
0:24
Speaker 1: hours ahead. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. Analyst Jeff Laghaman

Speaker 1: one o'clock and then the Doug Peterson Show at five today.
0:43
Speaker 1: Head coach Doug Peterson joining us on the program a
0:46
Speaker 1: little bit later an hour from now. Let's hear from
0:49
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson earlier this week. You could categorize last week's
0:53
Speaker 1: lost in Washington as a stinging loss for this team,
0:57
Speaker 1: but it's how they move forward. They should all sting.
1:02
Speaker 1: And you know I I you know, you've heard the
1:04
Speaker 1: phrase you should hate losing more than you like to win.
1:07
Speaker 1: And you know, uh, especially when it's self inflicted. You
1:11
Speaker 1: know I can handle a loss if we get beat right,
1:14
Speaker 1: I mean both both good games. You know, it's better
1:18
Speaker 1: good games back and forth. Comes down to the end,
1:20
Speaker 1: you get beaten, right, But when when you you make
1:23
Speaker 1: the mistakes that we did, the amount of mistakes on
1:26
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, it's just it's harder, it's
1:30
Speaker 1: harder to stomach. And uh, but you know, listen, it's
1:33
Speaker 1: it's week one. We gotta, we gotta. We got a
1:35
Speaker 1: young football team. It's eager to get back out on
1:37
Speaker 1: the practice field and and uh, you know, correct a
1:39
Speaker 1: lot of those mistakes that's earlier this week, of course,
1:43
Speaker 1: from head coach Doug Peterson. Today, offensive coordinator Press Taylor
1:47
Speaker 1: spoke with the media. The Jaguars had thirteen penalties as
1:51
Speaker 1: a team, the highest in the league last week, many
1:54
Speaker 1: of those on the offensive side of the ball. They
1:56
Speaker 1: had some miscues in the red zone, notably early in
1:59
Speaker 1: the game this week. For Press Taylor about cleaning up
2:03
Speaker 1: those mistakes, yeah, you know, it just kind of felt
2:06
Speaker 1: like we missed opportunities, a little bit of missed opportunities
2:09
Speaker 1: of things that were there that we didn't execute at
2:11
Speaker 1: the highest level on and then even some things that
2:13
Speaker 1: just kind of shooting ourselves in the foot, you know,
2:15
Speaker 1: in a legal formation, illegal shift, um, some things that
2:18
Speaker 1: don't need to happen that we're in complete control of
2:20
Speaker 1: and we understand that and you know, working to rectify
2:22
Speaker 1: that situation. The quarterback could help rectify that as well
2:26
Speaker 1: with a little bit of a better performance overall trying
2:29
Speaker 1: to keep it steady. In week number two for number six,
2:31
Speaker 1: team just lacked consistency, I think from myself, from everyone
2:37
Speaker 1: really just being more consistent around the just the whole offense,
2:40
Speaker 1: so um, including myself especially. I think obviously you look
2:44
Speaker 1: at red zone and that's something where we had a
2:47
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities and didn't capitalize on them. Whether it
2:50
Speaker 1: was a misthrow, a drop, you know whatever, it was
2:53
Speaker 1: a few things. You know. Obviously I'm in that as
2:56
Speaker 1: well with misthrow a couple of them that were you know,
2:58
Speaker 1: one to day as well, that was us that probably
3:00
Speaker 1: miss a little bit wide. So you look at all
3:02
Speaker 1: those and those are I mean, everyone kind of sees
3:04
Speaker 1: that those are obvious. But then you just break down
3:06
Speaker 1: the game and you're kicking yourself because you had so
3:09
Speaker 1: many opportunities to win the game and and you did it.
3:11
Speaker 1: So that's frustrating. But to see kind of how we
3:15
Speaker 1: started off really slow in the first half offensively and defensively,
3:19
Speaker 1: and then to be able to flip it after halftime
3:21
Speaker 1: and play really well pretty much till halfway through the
3:24
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and then we just gotta finish. But to
3:27
Speaker 1: see us battle back and just have that confidence to
3:30
Speaker 1: you know, we're down down two scores, but doesn't really matter.
3:32
Speaker 1: We know we got what it takes to get back
3:34
Speaker 1: in the game. I thought that was huge. And now
3:37
Speaker 1: to the defensive side of the ball, coordinator might called
3:39
Speaker 1: well speaking with the media today, you just heard the
3:42
Speaker 1: offensive side. Of course, the defense at good point in
3:46
Speaker 1: that game last week did their part. They had three
3:48
Speaker 1: takeaways after having nine all of last season combined. And
3:53
Speaker 1: the d C loves it. I think it. They we
3:56
Speaker 1: always talked about they come in bunches, and we've been
3:59
Speaker 1: stressing to the us to focus on our man. You know,
4:02
Speaker 1: they were out there and we had two great plays
4:05
Speaker 1: that were made in the fumble, so you know, we
4:07
Speaker 1: were focused on it and hopefully that'll continue. So then
4:11
Speaker 1: you have it. Some of the best sound of the
4:12
Speaker 1: week On Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday, we welcome
4:15
Speaker 1: in Jaguars analyst Jeff Lockerman, who is one of the
4:20
Speaker 1: most studious people I know. Look at all the paper
4:22
Speaker 1: all over the desk. You've got a iPad everywhere. You
4:25
Speaker 1: got your glasses, got seventeen different colors of pins. That's
4:28
Speaker 1: that's the secret. When you can separate thoughts with different colors,
4:32
Speaker 1: it's a little bit easier to stay organized. Jpre you go.
4:35
Speaker 1: I mean it's you've got it all written up and
4:37
Speaker 1: ready to go. So you know, and I think this
4:40
Speaker 1: team is ready to move it forward to after a
4:43
Speaker 1: tough loss as stinging loss as you just heard Doug
4:46
Speaker 1: Peterson talk about there, but they were in the game,
4:48
Speaker 1: they had the lead, they lost it. You know, this
4:51
Speaker 1: guy is not falling. It's onto week two and now
4:54
Speaker 1: a big divisional game. I think the disappointing thing for
4:57
Speaker 1: from probably from the player's standpoint, is that you fight back.
5:01
Speaker 1: You know, you got the lead, and then as a team,
5:03
Speaker 1: you had multiple opportunities to capture that game both offensively
5:09
Speaker 1: and defensively. You know, you go back to where you
5:11
Speaker 1: had lead. After James is eleven yard touchdown run, you
5:16
Speaker 1: come back out on the field defensively and you know
5:19
Speaker 1: allow four play seventy eight yard drive. That's has a
5:22
Speaker 1: forty nine yard passed to Nick Lauren and and you
5:26
Speaker 1: allow that big play basically basically because you've got to
5:30
Speaker 1: kind of breakdowns on the same play and you can't
5:33
Speaker 1: allow mclauren to be over the top when you have
5:37
Speaker 1: a a defense that's designed to prevent that from happening.
5:42
Speaker 1: And so defensively, okay, we mess that up. Okay, well, offense,
5:44
Speaker 1: you've got an opportunity now to take control of the
5:47
Speaker 1: ball game because you can run a four minute drill,
5:50
Speaker 1: you know, put it away right, absolutely, grind it out,
5:53
Speaker 1: grind it out. What you follow that up, You've got
5:56
Speaker 1: a great et n run twenty seven yards and then
5:59
Speaker 1: a few more places later you're putting the ball back
6:01
Speaker 1: to him. And then the commanders take that third team
6:04
Speaker 1: plays go ninety yards. And by the way, you had
6:06
Speaker 1: a first and fifteen on that drive, multiple third down
6:09
Speaker 1: opportunities as a defense, and you don't capitalize as a defense.
6:13
Speaker 1: Then you turn around the and the offense has an
6:15
Speaker 1: opportunity to put a drive together to win the game,
6:19
Speaker 1: be a hero, and it doesn't happen. And I think
6:22
Speaker 1: the disappointing thing on that drive is that on the
6:24
Speaker 1: third down you're gonna throw the ball up and uh
6:28
Speaker 1: give the opponent opportunity to intercept the ball, and you're
6:31
Speaker 1: essentially taking one more opportunity at winning out of the
6:34
Speaker 1: equation for your football team. So you've got to get
6:38
Speaker 1: some of these things corrected that we talked about here.
6:42
Speaker 1: When you're given the opportunity, you've got to capture them.
6:45
Speaker 1: But then also what the coaches are talking about, some
6:48
Speaker 1: of these things are just easily correctable. Alignment errors where
6:53
Speaker 1: you get penalties on thirteen total penalties for this team,
6:56
Speaker 1: the highest in the league, ninety yards of penalty yard.
6:59
Speaker 1: You're jumping off side hides as a defense. In one
7:01
Speaker 1: instance early in the game, it was a third and eleven,
7:03
Speaker 1: you jump off sides. You give them a third and six. Okay,
7:06
Speaker 1: the percentages of converting the third and eleven compared to
7:09
Speaker 1: a third and sick or astronomically different. And then you
7:12
Speaker 1: give him a first down with an all sides later
7:14
Speaker 1: on in the ball game. And oh, by the way,
7:16
Speaker 1: hey they might art count you third down down. But
7:23
Speaker 1: I mean that's I jumped off right now. I'm guilty,
7:29
Speaker 1: But I mean that's when you expect it when it's
7:32
Speaker 1: third and five or third down, you have to expect
7:35
Speaker 1: the hard counts. As a guy that's on the line
7:37
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. I mean, just so many different things that
7:41
Speaker 1: I think can be easily fixed. Part of that is
7:43
Speaker 1: just calming down. You know, you gotta a young team
7:47
Speaker 1: that's excited and and amped up, and I think if
7:52
Speaker 1: you calm down a little bit and and you still
7:55
Speaker 1: have the intensity, but without the hype, I guess you
7:59
Speaker 1: could say, I think you'll have a better performance early
8:03
Speaker 1: in the ball game, because I thought this team looked
8:04
Speaker 1: tired early in this ball game. And I think a
8:06
Speaker 1: lot of it was just because you're just so amped
8:08
Speaker 1: up to play a ball game. You know, when you
8:10
Speaker 1: got a young team and they're so amped up, a
8:12
Speaker 1: lot of times that takes away the energy from playing
8:15
Speaker 1: football because it's it's wasting energy. Let's move our focus now,
8:19
Speaker 1: moving forward to the Jaguars offense here against the Colts
8:23
Speaker 1: defense coming up this week. We know Gus Bradley very well,
8:27
Speaker 1: of course the head coach. Coach, your coach got a
8:30
Speaker 1: good system and it's you know, we've heard it a
8:34
Speaker 1: couple of times on shows this week that it's a
8:36
Speaker 1: somewhat simple system. What do you mean by that, well,
8:39
Speaker 1: it can be simple. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's
8:43
Speaker 1: going to be simple. But Gus has always had a
8:47
Speaker 1: philosophy is that you want your defense to play fast.
8:50
Speaker 1: There's kind of two two modes of thought when you
8:54
Speaker 1: look at defensive coordinators. One of them is a defensive
8:57
Speaker 1: coordinator says, Okay, we're gonna make sure that we're assignment
9:01
Speaker 1: perfect and we're gonna keep things fairly simple because we
9:05
Speaker 1: want our guys to play fast. We don't want them
9:07
Speaker 1: thinking at all. We're gonna teach them what the opponent
9:10
Speaker 1: can do versus our defenses. And then the other side
9:14
Speaker 1: of that, as a coaching staff that believes, hey, look
9:17
Speaker 1: we're gonna scheme them up. We're gonna have this intricate
9:21
Speaker 1: stuff that they can't figure out, that they haven't seen,
9:25
Speaker 1: and we're gonna make it difficult because they're gonna have
9:27
Speaker 1: to prepare for a lot guys moving preset. Yeah, they're
9:32
Speaker 1: for our disguises. We're gonna zone blitz, we're gonna zero blitz,
9:36
Speaker 1: we're gonna play zone. We're gonna be doing all this stuff.
9:40
Speaker 1: And so you're your playbook turns out to be Let's
9:44
Speaker 1: say to say, for example, Let's say Gus Bradley's playbook
9:46
Speaker 1: is twenty pages. Some defensive coordinators believe in a you
9:51
Speaker 1: so from twenty pages to eighty pages in a defensive playbook,
9:56
Speaker 1: so Gus Bradley's is is smaller. It it doesn't mean
10:01
Speaker 1: that it's easier to face because it's they're taught to
10:04
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do on offense, so they play faster,
10:08
Speaker 1: they play more aware, they react better. So but it
10:12
Speaker 1: I think it it makes it easier, I think from
10:15
Speaker 1: an offensive game planning standpoint, but the execution doesn't make
10:19
Speaker 1: it any It does not any easier. It's a new
10:23
Speaker 1: obviously defensive scheme defensive coordinator there, but they'll still have
10:27
Speaker 1: change they yeah, it is, but they'll still have that
10:30
Speaker 1: same approach where they're gonna go punch after the football
10:32
Speaker 1: and get those takeaways. That's that was a bit. It's
10:34
Speaker 1: always been there, but they haven't had their guy on
10:36
Speaker 1: the field Shack Leonard Okay which was formerly known as
10:40
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard Okay and he hasn't played yet he had
10:43
Speaker 1: a back surgery. And Matt eber Fliss was a former
10:47
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator which he ran more three four principles Gus
10:50
Speaker 1: Bradley is a four three guy, so it's a little
10:53
Speaker 1: bit of a change for the Colts and has gone
10:59
Speaker 1: has gone on to be the head coach of the
11:01
Speaker 1: Bears and uh leo four eyes. You know, that's all
11:06
Speaker 1: the Gus Bradley terminology that that you're talking about, pirates
11:10
Speaker 1: and spikes and rams and all these different stunts that
11:14
Speaker 1: they have. But the one thing that hasn't changed that
11:20
Speaker 1: they still have Divorced Buckner in the middle. And he
11:24
Speaker 1: is a stud. I mean, Jonathan Allen is right up
11:28
Speaker 1: there with the top five defensive tackles. Deforced Buckner is
11:32
Speaker 1: in that same group. And oh, by the way, last
11:36
Speaker 1: week Dron Payne and Jonathan Allen had their way a
11:39
Speaker 1: little bit. And this guy you're facing this week, okay,
11:42
Speaker 1: because Drawn Payne and Jonathan Allen are shorter six three
11:47
Speaker 1: ish defensive lineman okay, with arms that are okay length Okay.
11:53
Speaker 1: Divorced Buckner's got arms that literally are probably like thirty
11:58
Speaker 1: eight thirty nine in sleeve length, maybe longer. I mean,
12:01
Speaker 1: he's long, long, strong, got a great athletic ability. So
12:06
Speaker 1: another challenge this week on the inside and then on
12:08
Speaker 1: the outside. Former team weights Yanniken Gockway is gonna be
12:12
Speaker 1: matching up against Cam Robinson wouldn't be talking and then
12:16
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely didn't yan get a couple of sacks here?
12:20
Speaker 1: Uh A couple of years ago he got Gardner Minshew
12:23
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I'm trying to remember who he
12:25
Speaker 1: was playing. He's been bounced around so much. He's been
12:29
Speaker 1: with Minnesota and the Raiders, and he got traded mid
12:33
Speaker 1: season to the Ring and it just was like whoa anyway? Anyway,
12:37
Speaker 1: and then Quitty pays on the other side. He had
12:39
Speaker 1: two sacks last week against Houston. He's not a a
12:43
Speaker 1: real long guy, but I mean he's pretty stout, you know.
12:45
Speaker 1: He had two sacks last week. Was a pretty high pick.
12:49
Speaker 1: It's gonna be challenging as far as the Jaguars offense goes,
12:53
Speaker 1: because the offensive line did play well last week. JP.
12:56
Speaker 1: Did you like the way the running backs were divvying
13:00
Speaker 1: up the reps that they got about J rob and
13:02
Speaker 1: E N Yeah, I thought it. I thought it was
13:05
Speaker 1: I thought it was a real nice job. The one
13:07
Speaker 1: thing that I do wish, I wish the opportunities that
13:10
Speaker 1: were all there were captured. And what I mean by
13:13
Speaker 1: that is fourth down and goal. Okay, e t N.
13:16
Speaker 1: You gotta catch that ball, you know, I look, I
13:18
Speaker 1: get it. It wasn't a perfectly thrown ball, and it
13:20
Speaker 1: was a little high, but it's catchable. I was Trevor
13:25
Speaker 1: hit E t N on the first drive. You know,
13:27
Speaker 1: it could have been a touchdown. Um. I wish that
13:31
Speaker 1: we didn't know the Jaguars didn't have a penalty to
13:34
Speaker 1: negate On E t N or James Robins. Which one
13:37
Speaker 1: was E t N run? I think it was e
13:39
Speaker 1: t N run and uh, but I like the way
13:42
Speaker 1: that they mixed the two of them in. I liked
13:45
Speaker 1: the fact that James Robinson got the start. I think
13:47
Speaker 1: that that's the way it should have been, and that's
13:49
Speaker 1: I was very happy to see that at the beginning
13:52
Speaker 1: part of the game. And James looked fantastic. They both
13:57
Speaker 1: looked like, uh they were rolled out there healthy, which
14:01
Speaker 1: is great. They look great. I mean both of them
14:03
Speaker 1: look great carrying the carrying the ball. Eat N did
14:05
Speaker 1: not look great catching the ball, not just because of
14:09
Speaker 1: the one the one that was down the scene. He
14:11
Speaker 1: kind of double clutched that one fell down. The protection
14:15
Speaker 1: has to be better by Travis and past protection James
14:20
Speaker 1: can be a little bit stouter. I mean, those guys
14:22
Speaker 1: definitely has some realit. We we kind of gloss over
14:26
Speaker 1: the fact that James Robinson just came back from a
14:29
Speaker 1: torrent Achilles tendon eight and a half months. Are you
14:32
Speaker 1: kidding me? I mean seriously, I mean we we we
14:36
Speaker 1: kind of I think in sports sometimes because it's we've
14:41
Speaker 1: seen this happen. Like last year the Rams had a
14:43
Speaker 1: guy that came back in the short amount of time.
14:46
Speaker 1: I mean, people have to realize that is unbelievable that
14:51
Speaker 1: you have a running back coming back from a torn
14:54
Speaker 1: achilles tendon and he's come back and he looked like himself.
14:58
Speaker 1: I mean he looked like James rob instead of old.
15:02
Speaker 1: First of all, give credit to the surgeon, Give credit
15:04
Speaker 1: to James, Give credit to to Robbie who who was
15:08
Speaker 1: his therapist throughout the entire process. I mean, wow, because
15:13
Speaker 1: you know JP, a few years ago, Bye bye, end
15:16
Speaker 1: of career possibility. No, not a possibility, JP, I was it.
15:21
Speaker 1: That was it. I mean, if you got a torn
15:23
Speaker 1: achilles and you were a skill position player a few
15:26
Speaker 1: years back, you were done. I mean. The only one
15:29
Speaker 1: that I think that I remember coming back from it
15:32
Speaker 1: from the from recent history or should I say the
15:36
Speaker 1: older history with Dan Rino came back and what did
15:38
Speaker 1: he do. He gimped around everywhere. You know, he's doing
15:43
Speaker 1: all this stuff, you know, to get it up fast.
15:45
Speaker 1: He still was a great player, but it wasn't the
15:48
Speaker 1: same for Dan. I mean, you watched Danny walk right now.
15:50
Speaker 1: He doesn't walk normal. So anyway, congratulations to James and
15:56
Speaker 1: also to the entire team of people that helped him
16:00
Speaker 1: it back, because I just think you can't say enough
16:02
Speaker 1: about that a little more later on the wide receiver play.
16:07
Speaker 1: Last week, Christian Kirk had a day. We'll come back
16:09
Speaker 1: to in a moment and get into the defense and
16:12
Speaker 1: they've got their handsful this week against the Colts offense
16:15
Speaker 1: that likes to run the football. Pr I Productions, the
16:19
Speaker 1: official event production company of the Jags, has everything you
16:22
Speaker 1: need to bring your next idea to life. Visit pr

Speaker 1: I productions dot com. Coming up at five o'clock, the
16:29
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson showed This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the
16:33
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network, the station that the Jaguars listened to
16:40
Speaker 1: ten ten XL, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. You know
16:52
Speaker 1: he was older than me, And we've seen a lot
16:54
Speaker 1: of people through the through the years. So when I
16:55
Speaker 1: first got there, I was kind of attimmied rookie um,
16:58
Speaker 1: I didn't really nobody in the league. And you know,
17:00
Speaker 1: towards the end of my time there, you know, he
17:02
Speaker 1: came up to me and said he'd like the way
17:03
Speaker 1: I progress, and that just meant the most of me.
17:05
Speaker 1: So we're definitely a lot of respect for him, and
17:07
Speaker 1: just him saying those words much a lot to me,
17:09
Speaker 1: but you know, trying to compete against him out. That's
17:11
Speaker 1: Foyer and Loukan, the Jaguars linebacker brought in from the
17:15
Speaker 1: Falcons in free agency this offseason, and Welcome Back Jaguars
17:19
Speaker 1: Happy Hour coming up at five o'clock the Doug Peterson Show,
17:22
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick with Jeff Lockman. Well, Lucan was on
17:27
Speaker 1: the Falcons of course, with matt Ryan. Mattie Ice is
17:30
Speaker 1: now in Indy with the Colts, yet another veteran quarterback.
17:35
Speaker 1: The Cults are trying to help take them to the
17:39
Speaker 1: Promised Land. They think, well, they thought it was going
17:41
Speaker 1: to be Philip Rivers that didn't work out. It wasn't
17:44
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz that didn't work out. They couldn't get him
17:46
Speaker 1: out of there fast enough. And now it's Matt Ryan
17:49
Speaker 1: who just surpassed sixty thousand career passing yards last week
17:54
Speaker 1: in the tie game against Houston. And he's not a
17:56
Speaker 1: guy that I think that the Colts will sit there
17:58
Speaker 1: and go, yes, he's gonna be our answer for the
18:01
Speaker 1: next eight years. I think the Colts will always be
18:06
Speaker 1: looking for a franchise guy. They have three quarterbacks on
18:08
Speaker 1: their roster, and when I'm a young player and Sam Linger,
18:11
Speaker 1: I think, is that how which they feel pretty strongly
18:15
Speaker 1: about him. Most teams don't keep three quarterbacks on the roster,
18:17
Speaker 1: so they're they're hoping to catch lightning on the bottle
18:20
Speaker 1: maybe in the mid to late rounds with a quarterback.
18:23
Speaker 1: And Nick Foles is the backup there in in Indianapolis.
18:26
Speaker 1: But Matt's better than Carson Wentz. I mean, if if
18:30
Speaker 1: that's what a lot of people are wondering, because Carson
18:34
Speaker 1: Wentz makes some really dumb, panicked decisions. Matt Ryan doesn't
18:39
Speaker 1: do that typically. Well. The fact of the matter is, though,
18:42
Speaker 1: that Matt Ryan will turn the ball over, but he
18:45
Speaker 1: doesn't have this panic about him. He's uh, he's seen
18:48
Speaker 1: a lot of looks he's got a lot of experience
18:51
Speaker 1: under his belt. And I also think that sometimes when
18:54
Speaker 1: you're when you get older and you've been in one
18:57
Speaker 1: place for a significant amount of time, you can have
18:59
Speaker 1: a little maybe almost a sense of complacency to where
19:03
Speaker 1: you're not challenging yourself like you released. I kind of
19:06
Speaker 1: had that a little bit, and when you go to
19:07
Speaker 1: a new place, you feel like you have to prove
19:10
Speaker 1: yourself again. And so it could be good for that
19:14
Speaker 1: right now. His numbers in the first three quarters of
19:16
Speaker 1: football and Houston didn't show that, but man, you look
19:19
Speaker 1: at the fourth quarter what he was able to do,
19:21
Speaker 1: and he was pretty dark on good. I mean, I mean,
19:25
Speaker 1: really dog on good. It helps when you have a
19:28
Speaker 1: running game to support you, and they certainly do Indianapolis.
19:33
Speaker 1: Uh a little running game, you think, Yeah, Jonathan Taylor
19:37
Speaker 1: led the league in attempts, rushing yardage, and rushing touchdowns
19:41
Speaker 1: a season ago, and he's off to that pace again.
19:43
Speaker 1: After one week. He's really good. You go back, what
19:47
Speaker 1: was it. It was the twenty season, I think, last
19:51
Speaker 1: game of the years against the Jaguars in Indianapolis, and
19:55
Speaker 1: he rushes for two fifty three yards on thirty carries
20:00
Speaker 1: or something like that. Oh, I mean it was a
20:03
Speaker 1: monster performance. Now that was the end of a you know,
20:06
Speaker 1: a really rush. It was, you know, and then the
20:13
Speaker 1: last week he rolls up for hundred and sixty one.
20:16
Speaker 1: I believe. I mean, this guy's of workhorses. Guy is
20:19
Speaker 1: a danger every time he touches the ball. Size got speed,
20:23
Speaker 1: he's got quickness, he's got incredible vision, and there's not
20:28
Speaker 1: a whole lot of running backs that can make it
20:30
Speaker 1: happen with little movement. I thought Emmett Smith was one
20:34
Speaker 1: of those guys when I used to watch and and
20:36
Speaker 1: face emm and he was just so he had a
20:38
Speaker 1: knack for moving just the slightest bit to create the
20:42
Speaker 1: biggest hole for himself. And what I mean by the
20:44
Speaker 1: biggest hole, a lot of times he had contact in
20:47
Speaker 1: that hole, but Emmett was so strong he would run
20:50
Speaker 1: through it. So he would subtle move to power through
20:54
Speaker 1: a guy because he was so powerful. Well, Jonathan Taylor
20:58
Speaker 1: is very similar. It's a little different, I need style,
21:01
Speaker 1: but I think the the the the way it happens
21:05
Speaker 1: is very similar. And that Jonathan Taylor makes subtle moves
21:08
Speaker 1: and he's so strong that he runs through a lot
21:11
Speaker 1: of stuff. There's no back in the league last year
21:14
Speaker 1: that had more yards after contact then Jonathan Allen. I mean,
21:18
Speaker 1: that's how good he is. So if you're gonna stop him,
21:21
Speaker 1: or Jonathan Taylor, if you're gonna stop him, you'd better
21:25
Speaker 1: have a lot of guys to the football. And you
21:28
Speaker 1: hear coordinators use the terms we gotta populate the football. Okay,
21:33
Speaker 1: Well you better populate the front porch of Jonathan Taylor
21:36
Speaker 1: if you're gonna end up beating him this week and
21:39
Speaker 1: holding him to where he's not a huge factor in
21:41
Speaker 1: this ball game because of all of a sudden, he's
21:43
Speaker 1: running the ball for thirty carries and two hundred fifty
21:46
Speaker 1: yards or two hundred yards or a hundred sixty yards
21:48
Speaker 1: or whatever. Good night, Matt. Ryan's gonna sit back there
21:51
Speaker 1: and just have you know, all the time in the
21:53
Speaker 1: world and throw it to his big receiver is it'll
21:55
Speaker 1: be along a long day at the bank. Roy Robertson
21:58
Speaker 1: Harris said, no arm tackles with this guy. Gotta get
22:01
Speaker 1: your full weight on him at least, well, yes, and
22:04
Speaker 1: has some help would be here there. There's some guys
22:07
Speaker 1: that can probably get away with arm tackles against Jonathan Taylor,
22:11
Speaker 1: but it's a very few number. Okay, and Roy Robertson
22:14
Speaker 1: Harris is stud when it comes to how strong he is,
22:18
Speaker 1: and he'd better bring his body with him. Big. Roy
22:21
Speaker 1: is is strong, but Jonathan is is really strong. It's
22:24
Speaker 1: a great challenge. Look at the coach Scott a good
22:27
Speaker 1: offensive line. I don't want to call him great, but
22:28
Speaker 1: they have a great player in Quentin Nelson. You know,
22:32
Speaker 1: there's UM a couple of guys that when I watched
22:35
Speaker 1: the film that you just kind of zero in on.
22:38
Speaker 1: On offense, It's Quentin Nelson, Jonathan Taylor. On defense, it's
22:43
Speaker 1: the Forest Buckner. The length that he has, could he
22:47
Speaker 1: pay also kind of flashed a little bit. Darry Slenard
22:51
Speaker 1: always shows up when you watch him, but he obviously
22:54
Speaker 1: didn't play this past week. But man divorce Buckner and
22:56
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson and Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I don't know where
23:01
Speaker 1: PFF ranks those three guys in in their position, but
23:06
Speaker 1: they got they gotta be top five. I mean they're
23:08
Speaker 1: they're that good. Quentin Nelson has been to has been
23:12
Speaker 1: a a p first team All Pro I believe four times.
23:16
Speaker 1: UM the first three seasons he was first team, then
23:19
Speaker 1: his fourth season was second team. He's been to the
23:22
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl his first four seasons in the league. The
23:25
Speaker 1: only other Colts player to do that was Alan Amici
23:27
Speaker 1: in the fifties. Um so, and he just signed a
23:31
Speaker 1: big contract also four years, eighty million dollars. I mean,
23:33
Speaker 1: it's twenty million a year. What makes him so good?
23:36
Speaker 1: Why is he worth all these accolades and money? He
23:40
Speaker 1: does everything well. He is strong. He moves people, which
23:45
Speaker 1: in in in a league that typically people just try
23:49
Speaker 1: to get in their way. He moves them in past protection.
23:53
Speaker 1: He's got balance, he's athletic, he can pull at three
23:57
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pounds. There's just nothing that he can't do.
24:01
Speaker 1: He has the he has the athleticism of a Brandon Sheriff,
24:05
Speaker 1: and then the power of a Larry Allen going back
24:07
Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys of old saying something and Larry
24:10
Speaker 1: Allen was stud stud and that's what this Quentin Nelson
24:15
Speaker 1: guy has as far as power, I can. I watched him.
24:19
Speaker 1: I I gotta admit I watched him on every play
24:22
Speaker 1: because when you watch him, you just go, damn. He's good.
24:26
Speaker 1: I mean he's like, wow, Look at that play. Wow,
24:28
Speaker 1: look at that play and he's not perfect. Um he
24:32
Speaker 1: got beat on one pass play, a little pass rush
24:34
Speaker 1: this pass game against Houston. I don't remember who beat him.
24:37
Speaker 1: It was about defensive lineman. That was because I'm gonna
24:40
Speaker 1: tell you the Texans when we get to them, and
24:42
Speaker 1: you're gonna start sitting there writing the names down to
24:44
Speaker 1: some of the defensive players they have, and you're gonna go,
24:45
Speaker 1: who who's that guy. I was literally having to go
24:49
Speaker 1: through the roster the Houston Texans to find out who
24:51
Speaker 1: these guys were because so many of them are new
24:53
Speaker 1: and and young. But anyway, Quenton Nelson great player. There's
24:58
Speaker 1: there's not a I don't think there's uh. If there's
25:01
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman in the league that is worth the
25:05
Speaker 1: price of admission alone from himself, I would say it's
25:11
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson. I was gonna say, because guard play is
25:13
Speaker 1: not necessarily sexy, but that's something to watch if who
25:18
Speaker 1: he's out there playing it though? Right? I mean, I
25:20
Speaker 1: think if you put an ISO camera on Quentin Nelson,
25:24
Speaker 1: you know, every week, you you could probably sell the
25:27
Speaker 1: highlight reel or televised the highlight reel and and have
25:32
Speaker 1: people be entertained. He's pretty good. And last year he
25:36
Speaker 1: was beat up, I mean significantly beat up. This year
25:41
Speaker 1: in the off season, from what I have been reading
25:44
Speaker 1: is he had completely healthy off season. And what that
25:49
Speaker 1: allows a player to do is it allows them to
25:52
Speaker 1: work on them getting better and stronger instead of, hey,
25:55
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get back to where i was
25:58
Speaker 1: at prior to the injury. You know, so instead of
26:01
Speaker 1: rehab mode, you're in progression mode. And I'm sure that
26:06
Speaker 1: made a huge difference for him. I know, just from
26:09
Speaker 1: first hand experience, when you have an off season that
26:11
Speaker 1: you're just training compared to an off season that you're
26:14
Speaker 1: trying to rehab and train, it's difficult to take steps
26:17
Speaker 1: to get better. And yeah, he's a stud. He's a stud.
26:22
Speaker 1: And and I can tell you Fotakasi, Davon Hamilton, Roy
26:27
Speaker 1: Robertson Harris, they better strap it on and pack your lunch.
26:31
Speaker 1: Let's come back. We'll get into the Jaguars defensive personnel
26:35
Speaker 1: a little deeper in this game coming off of Week one,

Speaker 1: Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour j P. Shadrick with Jeff Logman.
27:25
Speaker 1: The Jaguars and the Indianapolis Colts. This week's game presented
27:31
Speaker 1: by t i a A Bank at t I a
27:34
Speaker 1: A Bank Field one h original game home opener. How
27:40
Speaker 1: about this the Colts and we'll get to the Jags
27:42
Speaker 1: defense here to second. But the Colts have five of
27:45
Speaker 1: their first seven games this year against the a f
27:47
Speaker 1: C South. That's a lot of division play early in
27:50
Speaker 1: the season. There's the Chiefs game thrown in there too. Um,
27:53
Speaker 1: they've already tied a game, So if they drop a
27:57
Speaker 1: couple of these division games early then it you know,
27:59
Speaker 1: it's just a math game in the division at that
28:01
Speaker 1: point for them. It's gonna be tough for them. To
28:03
Speaker 1: bounce back well in thirteen that over the last couple
28:06
Speaker 1: of years hasn't started well. That can be a major
28:09
Speaker 1: problem this year. So they've been to hold on, uh
28:15
Speaker 1: and not to mention that this week hasn't gone so
28:19
Speaker 1: well for that team coming here. Yeah, the Jaguars have
28:23
Speaker 1: a long, long winning streak against the Colts in this stadium,
28:28
Speaker 1: at least in the home side of the series. One
28:30
Speaker 1: of the games was in London at Wimbley back in
28:33
Speaker 1: but seven consecutive years the Jaguars have won the home
28:37
Speaker 1: side of the series. The last Indie win in Jacksonville
28:40
Speaker 1: is and since that time, of course, the Jags have
28:44
Speaker 1: done in a bunch of different ways, blown them out,
28:47
Speaker 1: squeaked by, held him off in London, a six nothing game.
28:51
Speaker 1: You rarely see that in the league anymore, and but
28:55
Speaker 1: they one way or another, they seem to get it
28:57
Speaker 1: done here. Well, that's that's it's it's I think that's
29:00
Speaker 1: gonna be in the back of their minds um. A
29:04
Speaker 1: lot of people say, well, how much does carry over matter?
29:10
Speaker 1: I think every year is unique and that you don't
29:13
Speaker 1: assume a lot of put it this way, Foya Lucon
29:17
Speaker 1: doesn't know anything about the Jaguar Colts series. Okay, Christian
29:22
Speaker 1: Kurt doesn't know anything about it. Devin Lloyd Rookie, Yeah,
29:25
Speaker 1: I mean they hear things or whatever. But Doug Peterson
29:30
Speaker 1: wasn't here for the last eight years for any of that.
29:35
Speaker 1: So it's different. But at the same time, when something
29:40
Speaker 1: happens and maybe in a in a game and it
29:42
Speaker 1: might not be going the way you want if you're
29:45
Speaker 1: a Colts players and you're starting to go. I think
29:49
Speaker 1: last year was very unique from the standpoint of all
29:53
Speaker 1: the pressure was on the Colts because you know, they
29:56
Speaker 1: they had they had to win to get in. The
29:58
Speaker 1: week before I think it was a and the Raiders
30:01
Speaker 1: they had to win to get in, and they faltered
30:04
Speaker 1: there and then you come here and now all the
30:06
Speaker 1: pressures on them and they didn't play well, and Carson
30:10
Speaker 1: Wentz really didn't play well. So I think I think
30:15
Speaker 1: the mistakes can get magnified and and in playoff football.
30:19
Speaker 1: I've always said this, the magnification of mistakes in the playoffs,
30:23
Speaker 1: and it's no different when you're in a must win
30:25
Speaker 1: game at the last game of the regular season. It's
30:27
Speaker 1: a playoff game essentially what it is. So when the
30:30
Speaker 1: Colts made a mistake. It was like, oh, you know, jeez,
30:33
Speaker 1: we're not doing well. You know, they get tight, and
30:36
Speaker 1: I think that's what the Colts were last year. They're
30:38
Speaker 1: not gonna be tight coming in here this year. I
30:39
Speaker 1: don't think they got a new veteran quarterback. You know,
30:42
Speaker 1: it's a different year. They're confident in the running game,
30:45
Speaker 1: and got a new defensive coordinat There's so much new
30:48
Speaker 1: to the Colts organization. I just don't think there's gonna
30:50
Speaker 1: be any kind of carry over from any of those
30:52
Speaker 1: other years. Who on the defensive side for the Jaguars
30:56
Speaker 1: last week had would you say the best game? Who
30:59
Speaker 1: had the best overall game last week on defense? Well,
31:03
Speaker 1: I mean just from the impact plays you would you
31:06
Speaker 1: would say your first overall pick Trayvon Sack. Yeah, it
31:11
Speaker 1: was in the third quarter opening drive interception. Um, I
31:17
Speaker 1: thought he did pretty well. Now here's reality. I mean,
31:23
Speaker 1: Billy had this discussion a little bit after the game
31:25
Speaker 1: and that if you because we're both watching film and
31:29
Speaker 1: if you compare the performance of Montes Sweat versus Trayvon
31:33
Speaker 1: Walker and you had to pick which one had more
31:37
Speaker 1: of an impact in the game. Both Tony and I
31:41
Speaker 1: thought that it would was Montz but Trayvon had the
31:45
Speaker 1: two big plays. But after play after play after play,
31:50
Speaker 1: montest Sweat was impact in the game. He was he
31:53
Speaker 1: was given Cam Robinson fits. Yeah, I mean fits and
31:58
Speaker 1: Cam gave up, you know, com nation of pressures and hits.
32:01
Speaker 1: I think five in the ball game, and a lot
32:04
Speaker 1: of that was because of Montes sweat. But Trayvon I
32:08
Speaker 1: think had a had a really good game. But I
32:11
Speaker 1: don't think anybody had a great game. I mean, because
32:14
Speaker 1: you know, we can go around the list. You know
32:15
Speaker 1: you got Josh had the tackle for lost and the
32:18
Speaker 1: calls fumble. Nice. Okay didn't do a great job rushing
32:22
Speaker 1: the passer. You know, he was taking guys down the
32:25
Speaker 1: center a lot on the inside guys. I thought Vodakassi
32:29
Speaker 1: and Big Roy and Divine, I thought all three of
32:31
Speaker 1: them played pretty well. But Okayaks had a sack and
32:33
Speaker 1: he missed him. Okay and jumped off side. Jumped off sides.
32:37
Speaker 1: You don't have consistent pressure in the middle. Foy was
32:40
Speaker 1: making some tackles Lucan, but he got beat on a man.
32:43
Speaker 1: The man he got beat on the third down. He
32:46
Speaker 1: uh was making some tackles that not not exactly where
32:49
Speaker 1: you wanted them to be. Devin Lloyd was a little
32:52
Speaker 1: slow to react. Shaq had the tough play on the
32:54
Speaker 1: long ball, but look, you needed some safety help over
32:57
Speaker 1: the tops. I mean, you know, mistakes by both guys
32:59
Speaker 1: in that situation. Had some mistackles by Darius Williams. You know,
33:04
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell had a big play on the interception where
33:07
Speaker 1: he was just sitting there baiting Carson Wentz, but then
33:09
Speaker 1: he gave up a big play that was the go
33:11
Speaker 1: ahead score for for Washington. So I mean, can you
33:14
Speaker 1: say that anybody had an outstanding game? No, but I
33:17
Speaker 1: thought there were there were moments that everybody had some
33:19
Speaker 1: really good moments, and so you try to eliminate those
33:23
Speaker 1: bad plays, you know, focusing a little bit better, get
33:26
Speaker 1: rid of the mental mistakes, the ones that are easily controlled,
33:29
Speaker 1: and then you move forward and get better. That second
33:31
Speaker 1: and third quarter felt like what they wanted to be.
33:33
Speaker 1: They were getting off the field quick, they were getting takeaways,
33:36
Speaker 1: they were setting it up. But it's four quarters in
33:39
Speaker 1: the game, and that's that's sometimes is a sign that
33:43
Speaker 1: it's a young team. And you know, at some point though,
33:48
Speaker 1: you can't keep saying while we're a young team. At
33:51
Speaker 1: some point you need to grow up and and say, okay,
33:53
Speaker 1: all right, now it's time to to produce. Produce. Production
33:57
Speaker 1: is the is the is the bottom line, and that's
33:59
Speaker 1: what it's all about. Doesn't matter what your age is.
34:01
Speaker 1: Tight now for the injury report presented by Baptist Health
34:04
Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine provider
34:08
Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the athletic training crew is
34:13
Speaker 1: down there twiddling their thumbs. There's not much going on
34:15
Speaker 1: these days. There's nobody report. There's always something going on JP.
34:20
Speaker 1: I mean it's nobody's on the report, right, nobody's on
34:22
Speaker 1: the injury report. But there's bumps and bruises and things
34:26
Speaker 1: that you have to um treat, uh maintenance wise. Every
34:32
Speaker 1: player always has something, you know. So there's ice bags
34:35
Speaker 1: and stem units and uh hot and cold, you know
34:41
Speaker 1: where you get the back and forth into the two
34:44
Speaker 1: different tubs and stuff. So yeah, I mean, all that
34:46
Speaker 1: stuff is still going on, but there's just nothing costly
34:49
Speaker 1: enough or significant enough to put it on the injury
34:51
Speaker 1: report to where a player gets listed, which is pretty amazing.
34:55
Speaker 1: It's pretty really it's rare. I don't remember seeing one
34:58
Speaker 1: at least in a long time without but femail knocking
35:01
Speaker 1: on wood here because uh, I don't want to jinx
35:05
Speaker 1: his football team, and like you just probably did. Come on,
35:10
Speaker 1: I believe it, really. I didn't want to talk about
35:12
Speaker 1: that because it's nice. It's just not a good car.
35:18
Speaker 1: I believe in some of that stuff. Man, Next time,
35:20
Speaker 1: stay away from a JP. Don't mention it again. Yeah,
35:23
Speaker 1: well I will. By the way, the Colts have a
35:25
Speaker 1: few guys on their list. Shakille Leonard has practiced full
35:31
Speaker 1: both days of practice. He has a back issue. Of course,
35:34
Speaker 1: remember he had the ankle issue last year, so I
35:38
Speaker 1: and I think he had some surgery stuff to fix
35:42
Speaker 1: that in the off season. So and then he had
35:44
Speaker 1: the back in camp. So uh, really good football player
35:49
Speaker 1: and it looks like he's trending in the right direction.
35:51
Speaker 1: He did not play last week, so limited today. A
35:54
Speaker 1: wide receiver Alec Pierce with a concussion. He's a rookie,
35:59
Speaker 1: he was not on the list. He's the second round
36:01
Speaker 1: pick out of Cincinnati. And then today Kenny Moore the
36:05
Speaker 1: cornerback and Michael Pittman Jr. The wide receiver. Both more
36:09
Speaker 1: has a hip issue, putting with a quad issue. They
36:12
Speaker 1: were limited Wednesday, both did not practice today, and then
36:15
Speaker 1: defensive tackle to Forrest Buckner with a hip issue. He's
36:18
Speaker 1: not practiced two days in a row, two days in
36:21
Speaker 1: a row. He hasn't practiced Wednesday or Thursday. Their best
36:23
Speaker 1: player on defense. Uh, I mean, assuming Shaq Leonard's not
36:28
Speaker 1: out there. I mean you could have a debate if
36:31
Speaker 1: they're both out there and played well. But by far
36:34
Speaker 1: divorced Buckner is storyline a when it's so when you're
36:40
Speaker 1: talking about coming out of Indianapolis, that's a big deal.
36:44
Speaker 1: I mean, he's so good, so disruptive. But is that
36:49
Speaker 1: is that one of these things were like, you know,
36:52
Speaker 1: he's just you know, he's just resting them. He's you know,
36:54
Speaker 1: he's veteran guy, long season. Yeah, we're just making sure,
36:58
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna practice Friday. And that's one of
37:01
Speaker 1: those things that you you know, just you don't assume
37:04
Speaker 1: anything when you have an injury report with a veteran
37:07
Speaker 1: guy like that, because I've seen a lot of guys
37:11
Speaker 1: not practice on Wednesday and Thursday, and then on Friday
37:15
Speaker 1: they practice, and then they get him listed as questionable
37:20
Speaker 1: and then when you see him out there on Sunday,
37:22
Speaker 1: you would have never have known that anything was ever
37:25
Speaker 1: wrong with that player. So you prepare like he's gonna play.
37:29
Speaker 1: You don't sit there and go, oh yeah, that's awesome.
37:31
Speaker 1: He's not gonna play right the whole game player? Do that? No,
37:35
Speaker 1: don't do that. How do you have at the Baptist
37:37
Speaker 1: Health Injury Report again? Nobody for the Jaguars officially on
37:41
Speaker 1: the list this week. If you're looking for the m
37:43

38:01
Speaker 1: thoughts in a moment, and then at five o'clock it's
38:04
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on
38:07
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour. If
38:14
Speaker 1: you're watching us on Jaguars dot Com or Jaguars social
38:18
Speaker 1: media Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, blog him and subscribe to all
38:21
Speaker 1: of those. You're taking a live look at the Miller
38:25
Speaker 1: Electric Center outside t i A a bank field. The
38:29
Speaker 1: indoor facility portion starting to go up, which is cool
38:33
Speaker 1: to see. The main building is has taken shape, concrete
38:37
Speaker 1: has a lot of concrete has been poured. It's great.
38:39
Speaker 1: I mean it's looking great. Every day. There's something new
38:41
Speaker 1: happening going. I think that's gonna be a rooftop practice field.
38:45
Speaker 1: Did you hear about that? No you didn't. Yeah, I
38:49
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have a rooftop practice field on top
38:51
Speaker 1: of the facility. That was one of the original renderings,
38:54
Speaker 1: like or fifteen. Remember that it was on the river.
38:57
Speaker 1: You see you on the top there where there they
38:59
Speaker 1: poured all gotta run at an angle. No, that's gonna
39:02
Speaker 1: be No, it's not an angle. That's a flat roof,
39:04
Speaker 1: so that it can be a rooftop practice like the
39:06
Speaker 1: earth is flat. They would maximize the space and go
39:10
Speaker 1: ahead and put a third practice field, or actually a
39:12
Speaker 1: fourth because of the indoor facility, they would put a
39:15
Speaker 1: third outdoor practice facility, outdoor surface, and so they're putting
39:19
Speaker 1: it on the roof. Yeah, I don't think that's true.
39:21
Speaker 1: I'm starting Yeah. Yeah, that that fooled him. Yeah, where
39:26
Speaker 1: you go. Somebody just turned the radio, didn't hear it
39:28
Speaker 1: last part Grassfield on the roof. That's cool, so that'll
39:34
Speaker 1: be ready for training camp three and welcome back Jaguars.
39:38
Speaker 1: Happy our JP Shadwick. That's Jeff Logamen spreading rumors over there,
39:42
Speaker 1: Joe Forcinado in the audio and our video man, our
39:46
Speaker 1: video producer, Brent Reaver. It's his birthday today. Yeah, he's like,
39:50
Speaker 1: he's like twenties, twenty three years old. So I guess
39:56
Speaker 1: for the first time today I will say happy birthday.
39:59
Speaker 1: He just started shaving yesterday now now he's seven. Happy birthday, Reaver. Yeah,
40:04
Speaker 1: I've waited all day. I didn't say it to him
40:06
Speaker 1: on purpose today and I finally got it in on
40:08
Speaker 1: the show. That's what I would you would you bring
40:10
Speaker 1: him for his birthday? The show? You didn't a peanut bar?
40:16
Speaker 1: What did you bring him? Nothing? Yeah, I didn't know
40:19
Speaker 1: his birthday. Now we know, anybody get him a birthday
40:22
Speaker 1: cake or anything? Oh, I haven't seen him all day,
40:25
Speaker 1: so maybe somebody did somewhere. Yeah, I would have brought
40:30
Speaker 1: one in if nobody brought him up, maybe candles in
40:33
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, that's all right, Happy birthday, Happy birthday
40:36
Speaker 1: to Brent Reaver. He does a great job for us
40:38
Speaker 1: and um so, all right, Colts Jaguars coming up here
40:42
Speaker 1: we go, big game. Uh, Jaguars have do very well.
40:47
Speaker 1: I guess the Colts in this place. That's in the
40:49
Speaker 1: past though, we're looking forward to a future focused, as
40:53
Speaker 1: the head coach says, So it's a Colt seem that
40:56
Speaker 1: a lot of people picked to win this division. Yeah,
40:58
Speaker 1: they tied last week, but they are still a very
41:01
Speaker 1: talented team. Overall. They're very very talented team and I
41:06
Speaker 1: don't know if they have if they have that it
41:12
Speaker 1: to kind of be the best team in division. To
41:14
Speaker 1: be honest with you, when you have a lot of news,
41:16
Speaker 1: sometimes it takes a little bit of time to gel
41:18
Speaker 1: and then, like I was talking about, the last couple
41:20
Speaker 1: of years, they started slow, which hurt their chances kind
41:23
Speaker 1: of down the stretch. And if they start slow this year,
41:26
Speaker 1: then that could be a major problem. I think the
41:31
Speaker 1: addition of Matt Ryan will help him. Again, as I
41:33
Speaker 1: said before, Jonathan Taylor is the workhorse and if something
41:37
Speaker 1: were to happen to him, that would be a significant
41:39
Speaker 1: blow to this football team because they really don't have
41:42
Speaker 1: anybody behind him. Yeah, Nahem Hines, who is uh, you know,
41:47
Speaker 1: he's put it this way, he's not to carry the
41:50
Speaker 1: load back. He's a he's a pass catching at this pasture,
42:00
Speaker 1: good player, excellent receiver out of the backfield, but he's
42:03
Speaker 1: not that's not to carry the low guy. And then
42:06
Speaker 1: the next guy that they have is Dion Jackson, which, uh,
42:11
Speaker 1: anybody know, anybody anything about him? I don't know anything
42:14
Speaker 1: about him. Maybe he's just stud I don't I don't
42:17
Speaker 1: know it. I don't know. But uh, but yeah, this
42:19
Speaker 1: is a this is a very one player dependent offense
42:22
Speaker 1: as far as how things are gonna go. But remember
42:26
Speaker 1: about five seven years ago, they were like seventeen million
42:30
Speaker 1: tight ends that always performed for the Colts. It's pretty good.
42:34
Speaker 1: I mean the Titans always had the Titans also batch
42:37
Speaker 1: of tight ends and they played them all. But like
42:40
Speaker 1: mo Ali Cox was there for a minute in Indy
42:43
Speaker 1: and like a few of those guys, right mo Ale
42:45
Speaker 1: Cox is still there, Yeah, there you go. And then
42:48
Speaker 1: like Doyle was there for a minute mo Ali Cox
42:51
Speaker 1: and uh and Doyle Jack Doyle was a tight end
42:54
Speaker 1: who was a pretty good player. He's retired now, But
42:58
Speaker 1: I mean I had a pretty a couple of decent things.
43:00
Speaker 1: Like for some reason just rack up yards on this team.
43:03
Speaker 1: The one thing I think that they're missing that that
43:06
Speaker 1: I think you gotta have in this league is they
43:08
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of speed. When I see speed,
43:11
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the running back position, I'm talking
43:13
Speaker 1: about the white out position. Michael Pittman's got good speed,
43:17
Speaker 1: but he's not a burner. If you if you probably
43:20
Speaker 1: put him and Za Jones on the field, I don't know,
43:22
Speaker 1: as they might outrun him. You know. Uh, the rest
43:26
Speaker 1: of the guys are all bigger wide receivers. You know,
43:29
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell's are really good block and wide receiver, really good.
43:33
Speaker 1: Arguably the best blocking wide receiver that there is in
43:36
Speaker 1: the league. I think you got a young player on
43:38
Speaker 1: the other side out pierced the guy who has the concussion.
43:40
Speaker 1: Second round pick out of Cincinnati, but yeah, Ashton dool
43:45
Speaker 1: and another guy's kind of you know, it's the average guy.
43:47
Speaker 1: But they don't have a lot of speed. That's there's
43:50
Speaker 1: not a lot of teams that are sitting there going, man,
43:52
Speaker 1: you know what, we gotta keep our safeties back. Like
43:55
Speaker 1: last week with mclauren, you're like, oh, you know, we
43:58
Speaker 1: gotta make sure that we got a safety over the
43:59
Speaker 1: top top of him. And then with the young player
44:02
Speaker 1: that from Penn State, uh Dotson. Johnson john Dotson from
44:07
Speaker 1: Washington was a guy that's got great speed and but
44:10
Speaker 1: I just I don't see a lot of speed with
44:13
Speaker 1: with Indianapolis. But yeah, and Matt Ryan throws a good
44:18
Speaker 1: deep ball. That's always been one of Matt ryan strengths.
44:22
Speaker 1: And I'm surprised that the Colts in the all season
44:26
Speaker 1: didn't try to find some kind of vertical threat to
44:30
Speaker 1: add to their offense because Matt Ryan does throw very
44:33
Speaker 1: good deep I mean, that's one of his Like I said,
44:35
Speaker 1: it's one of his strong suits. But at each his
44:39
Speaker 1: own I guess you know, they've always been kind of
44:41
Speaker 1: in that mode of draft and developed there. Haven't spent
44:43
Speaker 1: a ton of money in free agency, at least historically,
44:47
Speaker 1: and they're big believers in drafting their own, developing their own.
44:51
Speaker 1: Think what is the GM's name in Indianapolis Ballard? Chris
44:57
Speaker 1: Ballard came from Kansas City, was kind of a the
45:01
Speaker 1: under lane to Brett Beach. I think it is the
45:04
Speaker 1: GM in Kansas City. It works so closely with Andy Reid.
45:08
Speaker 1: But Gus Bradley's coming back. Yeah, Gus coming to town.
45:11
Speaker 1: And um, there's a lot of connections of course, Frank
45:15
Speaker 1: Reich and Doug Peterson on the coaching staff in Philly,
45:18
Speaker 1: and Nick Fools, as you said, the backup on the team.
45:21
Speaker 1: The connections here and with Doug. I mean that there's
45:23
Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth with these two teams.
45:27
Speaker 1: Of course. Uh, Gus Bradley when he left here, he
45:32
Speaker 1: bounced around a little bit, was with the Chargers and
45:37
Speaker 1: then Las Vegas and then now with Indianapolis, and and
45:43
Speaker 1: he's had success pretty much everywhere he's been as a
45:45
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, going all the way back to the time
45:48
Speaker 1: that he was with Seattle. Good football coach, always positive.
45:52
Speaker 1: I'm a big Gus Bradley fan just because I think
45:54
Speaker 1: he's a good man. And uh was very beloved here
45:59
Speaker 1: in Boxingville with a lot of people in the organization
46:02
Speaker 1: and outside the organization. Didn't have a great record as
46:05
Speaker 1: a coach, and from that standpoint, a lot of people
46:07
Speaker 1: didn't belove him. But but a good dude. No, there's
46:11
Speaker 1: he's one of the best, one of the best people
46:13
Speaker 1: that I've ever met as far as coming through here
46:15
Speaker 1: coaching staff wise, and and I'm a big fan of
46:18
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley. Yeah. I think he's He's one of the
46:20
Speaker 1: top people you'll run across. Great family, great family. His wife,
46:24
Speaker 1: Miguel is awesome. I mean, just good people. Their sons
46:27
Speaker 1: playing at South Alabama. Now Jaguar, Yeah quarterback. That good
46:31
Speaker 1: for him? About that good for him? Mobile Alright, So
46:34
Speaker 1: let's touch again on the Jags offense for our final
46:37
Speaker 1: few moments. He still can't pronounce Jaguars. Not that never
46:41
Speaker 1: really goes away. Um, Hey, christ tried. It was pretty
46:50
Speaker 1: close to a Dakota accent. JP. When he first got here,
46:53
Speaker 1: I was like, guys, we gotta have a conversation. He's like,
46:56
Speaker 1: I think jag Jack's just say jag agg. He'd do it.
47:03
Speaker 1: He'd say jag and an agg. But then when he
47:06
Speaker 1: got the Jaguars, it was good Jaguars of course. Yeah.
47:11
Speaker 1: All right. So Christian Kirk had his third best career
47:16
Speaker 1: yardage day this past Sunday, and it feels like that's
47:20
Speaker 1: not just gonna be a one off. The way they
47:23
Speaker 1: threw to him twelve times, he caught six of him.
47:25
Speaker 1: He was open a bunch. Um. That's a good start.
47:29
Speaker 1: It's a good start. And the the Washington Commanders and
47:34
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio gave him the opportunities. There was a
47:37
Speaker 1: couple of times to where Washington is matching up in
47:41
Speaker 1: man coverage and somehow, and I don't know if the
47:43
Speaker 1: Jaguars were intentionally trying to get this matchup or you know,
47:47
Speaker 1: the game plan forward, or it was just luck. But
47:51
Speaker 1: typically when it happens once, it might be lucked the
47:53
Speaker 1: second time. It's probably more of a trend. They got
47:57
Speaker 1: Jamon Davis, the linebacker for Washington, who was the first
48:01
Speaker 1: round pick out of Kentucky last year, matched up on
48:03
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk a couple of times. Take down any day
48:07
Speaker 1: to week, I was gonna say that that sounds pretty
48:09
Speaker 1: favorable and a man. And then the deep ball was
48:14
Speaker 1: a great route by Christian Kirk showed a couple of
48:18
Speaker 1: different things. One, it showed great awareness by Christian, great
48:23
Speaker 1: discipline to run the route, to execute the route. And
48:27
Speaker 1: then great speed, because you've got to have great speed
48:29
Speaker 1: that once you turn the hips or flip the hips
48:31
Speaker 1: of the defensive back on that forty nine yard or
48:33
Speaker 1: to be able to turn the jets on and and
48:36
Speaker 1: get out there. And then Trevor through it out a
48:38
Speaker 1: little bit out front, and so he had to go
48:40
Speaker 1: get it. That was excellent play by Christian. I think
48:45
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up having hundred catches this year. I
48:49
Speaker 1: made that prediction before the game. I'm standing by it. Obviously.
48:52
Speaker 1: If you did the math six times seventeen, you're gonna
48:55
Speaker 1: get there. I'd be one oh two. I was. I
48:59
Speaker 1: wasn't carrying the one. But the the part that I
49:04
Speaker 1: want to see improve is that twelve targets six catches. Okay,
49:09
Speaker 1: the catch to target ratio has to improve there. It
49:13
Speaker 1: can't be you want it to be somewhere range. Speaking
49:19
Speaker 1: of tonight, on television in Jacksonville, Fox thirty Jaguar is
49:23
Speaker 1: All Access live from String's Brewery in Springfield. Josh Allen

49:36
Speaker 1: play I want to play. We're gonna we're gonna talk
49:39
Speaker 1: with Christian. Christian specifically about that one on one matchup
49:42
Speaker 1: with jam and Davis on one of the places We're
49:43
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna talk about it, show it cool and
49:46
Speaker 1: then let him tell us about it and uh and
49:49
Speaker 1: then with Josh Allen, Trayvon got the first stack of
49:52
Speaker 1: his career using a move called a chop move. We're
