Speaker 1: Busy week the Jaguars and the forty nine ers coming
Speaker 1: up this Sunday of the game presented by Baptist Health.
Speaker 1: A physical matchup expected and the stretch run underway, the
Speaker 1: beginning of nine straight weeks with games and some really
Speaker 1: big games for the first place Jacksonville Jaguars. At five o'clock,
Speaker 1: we'll hear from the head coach, Doug Peterson on You
Speaker 1: Guessed It, The Doug Peterson Show that's on the Jaguars
Speaker 1: Radio Network at five o'clock today, Ay, we'll hear from
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence on that program as well. I caught up
Speaker 1: with the quarterback earlier this week. Get his thoughts coming
Speaker 1: out of the bye week and moving ahead, starting with
Speaker 1: San Francisco. We're on ten TXL ninety two point five FM,
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, and Jeff Loghman joining me
Speaker 1: now in studio here at the Miller Electric Center. And
Speaker 1: good afternoon, Off to bye week, back to worklogs, fresh,
Speaker 1: ready to go, ready for the second half. Look spry,
Speaker 1: you look ready, you look eager to go? Here? Great? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel it. I feel great. I feel great. And
Speaker 1: you know, here's the best thing. This is about as
Speaker 1: good of a second half season of football that you
Speaker 1: could ever imagine in Jaguars history. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: the games that we have coming up in the second half.
Speaker 1: I'm starting with this one, which might be the game
Speaker 1: of the week in the National Football League, could be.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are bangers the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: I mean San Francisco this week, home against the Titans
Speaker 1: next week, and all of a sudden, they've got a
Speaker 1: new quarterback. And then Stroud. Yeah, Stroud is in week twelve,
Speaker 1: arguably one of the hottest young quarterbacks. I mean, rookie
Speaker 1: sensation of the Houston Texans who beat this team, and
Speaker 1: they're five hundred now, all of a sudden, it sound
Speaker 1: like they're that far back in some ground. Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football at Cleveland at Cleveland with arguably
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in the National Football League
Speaker 1: and maybe the defensive player of the year. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you the weather in Cleveland, December tenth is always
Speaker 1: just beautiful. It's great in the boots to worry about that.
Speaker 1: December seventeenth, the Ravens here on Sunday Night, the highest
Speaker 1: point differential in the National Football League. That's Sunday Night football,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. The best defense maybe in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: that the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, they might be playing
Speaker 1: the best football in the league right now. And then
Speaker 1: at Tampa Christmas Eve and then home. It is great.
Speaker 1: It's in the state. It's holiday. Tis enough. Panthers here,
Speaker 1: Bryce Young if he's still alive, then he's so skinny
Speaker 1: and playing well. You think that the Carolina fans are
Speaker 1: sitting there going we really screwed up. Yeah. Probably. And
Speaker 1: then the wrong guy at Tennessee in the last week
Speaker 1: of the season directions which, by the way, the two
Speaker 1: Tennessee games that are still left to be played. Rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback Will Levice, who for all accounts have watched him
Speaker 1: personally yet, but everybody's saying he's looked pretty good. So
Speaker 1: that is a stretch of nine games for this team
Speaker 1: and some really really good ones. But you can't get
Speaker 1: to the last eight before you get past the first one,
Speaker 1: and one step at a time, yes, and the first
Speaker 1: step is the San Francisco forty nine. Ers will get
Speaker 1: to really in depth in this game coming up in
Speaker 1: a little bit, But you know, it's a Jaguars team
Speaker 1: coming off the Bay. Let's start from the Jaguars perspective.
Speaker 1: First six and two. They won five games and five
Speaker 1: stadiums in four cities over a seven time zone stretch
Speaker 1: going into the bye week, which is unbelievable. By the way,
Speaker 1: congratulations on keeping all of that organized a lot, right,
Speaker 1: that's a lot, a lot of numbers, stadiums, yeah, seven, yeah, right, yeah. Now,
Speaker 1: the health of the team's getting better coming off another
Speaker 1: bye week. They had the mini buy. Of course, you
Speaker 1: hope that the one game, and it feels like it's
Speaker 1: trending the right way. You would hope it is. Coming
Speaker 1: off the full bye week. The one kind of question still,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a few guys that were limited yesterday.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the injury report when it comes out
Speaker 1: a little later. But you would think the secondary guys
Speaker 1: that missed the game last time against Pittsburgh could be
Speaker 1: back with their hamstring issues, but they were gamed ay
Speaker 1: test test are outers okay in Pittsburgh official term, that's
Speaker 1: the official term. And they worked him out before the
Speaker 1: game to see how where they were at. And they
Speaker 1: decided that Tyson Campbell and Andre Cisco that they would
Speaker 1: exercise a little bit of caution and it worked out great.
Speaker 1: I mean, gave them an extra two weeks to heal
Speaker 1: before before returning to action, so it worked out perfectly.
Speaker 1: Walker Little is expected to be back. That's good news. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he is if you look at it from one standpoint,
Speaker 1: just to give you a number, okay, pfs standpoint, he's
Speaker 1: the highest rated Jaguars offensive lineman. Now there's a limited
Speaker 1: amount of snaps that you can grade him at left guard,
Speaker 1: but he you know, hopefully he returns to the lineup,
Speaker 1: which will allow Shatley to be in a valuable backup
Speaker 1: swing position role at center or guard or whatever you know.
Speaker 1: And then the question is Ezra Cleveland where's he going
Speaker 1: to be at? By the way, he's our guest tonight
Speaker 1: on Jaguars all accent, All right, welcome to Jacksonville and
Speaker 1: come on the show. Yeah, so we're gonna have him
Speaker 1: on the show. Get to know him a little bit.
Speaker 1: He spent some time under Phil Rauscher in Minnesota, because
Speaker 1: that's where Phil Rauscher came from prior to coming here,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offensive line coach, who, by the way, I
Speaker 1: think is one of the best offensive line coaches in football.
Speaker 1: And so there's some familiarity there, which is one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why I'm sure that they traded for Ezra Cleveland.
Speaker 1: On top of Oh, by the way, the more good
Speaker 1: players that we can get in front of sixteen, the
Speaker 1: better off we're going to be. And this is yeah,
Speaker 1: with the stretch run here, you need as many big
Speaker 1: bodies that have experience that can play in a pinch
Speaker 1: out there, and that's that was the reason for that deal.
Speaker 1: Moving ahead, happy too to see that Ben Bart's back
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. Yeah, you know a guy that
Speaker 1: you know. Look, he had a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: he was my most improved player. I thought he had
Speaker 1: a really good year two years ago than last year.
Speaker 1: He ended up sustaining the knee injury and then kind
Speaker 1: of comes back into the lineup this year really without
Speaker 1: a lot of reps and that's kind of a tough
Speaker 1: situation to be put in. Didn't play all that well,
Speaker 1: and then he's back on the practice squad. Let him
Speaker 1: get his feet back underneath of him, and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe at some point down the road he can be
Speaker 1: a player that you can depend on. And then the
Speaker 1: other question, other really big question at least is say
Speaker 1: Jones with a knee issue. He's been out more than
Speaker 1: he's been in this season. When he's been in, he's
Speaker 1: had some spectacular moments. A touchdown Week one, the touchdown
Speaker 1: in London against Buffalo in the back of the end zone.
Speaker 1: You know what he is in the red zone. You
Speaker 1: know what he is on third down. And maybe not
Speaker 1: a coincidence that the Jaguars have had red zone and
Speaker 1: third down issues early in this season, because they is
Speaker 1: a big piece of that puzzle. What was his practice
Speaker 1: status yesterday? I believe it was limited. I can of
Speaker 1: check that just out of curiosity, because I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people expected him to maybe be back before
Speaker 1: the bye. Didn't make it because he had the knee injury,
Speaker 1: and then he came back and played, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he was inactive again. Obviously, maybe a
Speaker 1: setback of some kind. So you hope that he is
Speaker 1: able to play soon. But yes, yesterday and you know,
Speaker 1: we saw him in the open media time again today.
Speaker 1: He's getting the early work stuff done. Not sure exactly
Speaker 1: when practice really begins how much he's doing, but he
Speaker 1: was out there in the early warm up stages with
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley off to the side. That's
Speaker 1: how they kind of normally start warming up. After that,
Speaker 1: who knows this offense has it has another gear with him,
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is that I believe
Speaker 1: that they're much more dynamic with him on the field
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. One, he is a legitimate
Speaker 1: deep threat because they has speed to get past guys
Speaker 1: and to threaten the deep part of the field on defenses,
Speaker 1: and so that's a valuable aspect to have. On top
Speaker 1: of that, as Trevor has said repeatedly that Zay runs
Speaker 1: the best double move that this team has. You go
Speaker 1: back and you remember the touchdown, the last touchdown that
Speaker 1: he had. It was remember the game. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: remember the game that it was. He put the move
Speaker 1: on the guy and literally ran a little in route
Speaker 1: on the end zone and catches it. It was a thing
Speaker 1: of beauty. I want to say it was the last
Speaker 1: home game that we had that was here. I mean
Speaker 1: it was a Colts you may. I think it was
Speaker 1: the Colts beautiful move that he ran a little in
Speaker 1: route on and h for a short touchdown. He just
Speaker 1: and also I think he provides an energy for that,
Speaker 1: for that receiving group in the offense that that helps
Speaker 1: him out in a big way. And that's that's you know, look,
Speaker 1: you the more guys that had that, the better off yard.
Speaker 1: It was the Buffalo game in London, thank you for
Speaker 1: what it was. Yes, because he was an active the
Speaker 1: next because he got hurt in that game. Again, I
Speaker 1: think on that sideline route and never really was the
Speaker 1: same after that, and he's been active inactive that route.
Speaker 1: That route against Buffalo was fantastic, fantastic route. Hit him
Speaker 1: in the hand. The defender literally was frozen. I mean
Speaker 1: he literally didn't know what to do. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: how good of a route that Jay ran. And and
Speaker 1: the sooner that they can get him back, the better
Speaker 1: off that they're going to be because look, no offense
Speaker 1: to Agno. I liked him all agnew and I think
Speaker 1: there's a role for him with this offense. And it's
Speaker 1: more of those okay speed reverses, little quick screens and
Speaker 1: things like that. But down the field, that's Whereay's world
Speaker 1: is at and it opens up a lot for everyone else.
Speaker 1: So we'll see his status. Uh, maybe a little later
Speaker 1: today when they put out the injury report. May not
Speaker 1: be during while we're on the air. Actually they wait
Speaker 1: for the West Coast team and put it all out together.
Speaker 1: We'll keep you posted if we see it though. Jacks

Speaker 1: five FM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube JP Shadrick Jeff
Speaker 1: log about a Jaguars Happy Hour. We'll get to the
Speaker 1: Jags defense coming up in their matchup with a San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers offense that is chocked full of
Speaker 1: weaponry and they can move it all over the field.
Speaker 1: That's coming up in about fifteen minutes or so. Let's
Speaker 1: continue with this Jaguars offense. So logs and you know
Speaker 1: the issues they have found, at least in the by.
Speaker 1: They always kind of self scout during the bye week,
Speaker 1: and pretty much to a man in the locker room
Speaker 1: going into the by, they said, hey, we've got to
Speaker 1: stop giving the ball away because they led the league
Speaker 1: going into the by in fumbles lost. A lot of
Speaker 1: those were in the red zone, which was nine, by
Speaker 1: the way, right, nine of those towards the bottom of
Speaker 1: the league in red zone efficiency in terms of two
Speaker 1: twenty six third downs not great. Nope, Actually third down
Speaker 1: twenty fifth in the rankings. Not ideal. So fourth down
Speaker 1: another one that put into that mix, Jap. While we're
Speaker 1: talking about let's talk about the bat because they go
Speaker 1: for fourth down a lot, twenty seventh in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. I mean, those are areas that this offense
Speaker 1: needs to improve on. And I'll give you just one
Speaker 1: more to add to that mix. Okay, we're adding a
Speaker 1: long list. Okay, offensively, when you get the third and
Speaker 1: one and fourth and one, what do you got to
Speaker 1: be able to do to be able to convert by
Speaker 1: running the football? Yeah, sneak it, or I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of teams would sneak that right. Well, quarterback, look,
Speaker 1: if you want to run the quarterback push, okay, it's
Speaker 1: what the Eagles do, right, the brotherly shove, brotherly shove,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, okay, or just flat
Speaker 1: out run the ball, get in a three point run
Speaker 1: a ball. The Jaguars offense is converting I wrote this
Speaker 1: number down at a rate of fifty seven point one
Speaker 1: percent when they run the ball on third and fourth
Speaker 1: and one. Okay, that's not a very good rate because
Speaker 1: the NFL league wide average is seventy one point three.
Speaker 1: So I mean you're you're off you know what, six fifteen,
Speaker 1: sixteen points somewhere in that range and or fourteen points
Speaker 1: somewhere in that range. That's not exactly where you want
Speaker 1: to be as an offense. And your third down conversion
Speaker 1: rates again twenty fifth okay, that goes to that number, okay,
Speaker 1: to keep drives moving, and also that fourth down conversion rate.
Speaker 1: So that's an area that I would like to see
Speaker 1: them get better at on top of the other ones
Speaker 1: as well. Obviously they're running the ball well. Etn's done
Speaker 1: very well this season in the ball twelve but you know,
Speaker 1: I know one thing in that I'll also add this. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'd like to see the yards per carry average go up. Now,
Speaker 1: Etn's been extremely dependable in the running game. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: don't have to have this fantastic number of okay, four
Speaker 1: point five yards of carry. I mean, for example, Okay, McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: arguably one of the best running backs in the league,
Speaker 1: is number one in the league in rushing. He's four
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry. That'll play. Okay, Etn's at
Speaker 1: three point nine. So you'd love to see Etn's number
Speaker 1: get back up somewhere and above the four range, you know,
Speaker 1: four two four, three four four, somewhere in in that range.
Speaker 1: But McCaffrey, who the Jaguars are gonna face this week, Now,
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is the real deal. And not
Speaker 1: only is he a running back, he's a excellent or
Speaker 1: he is an excellent back receiving back out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: And we'll get to how to really kind of scheme
Speaker 1: him if possible on the defense here in just a
Speaker 1: few moments. You know, the numbers for Trevor Lawrence this
Speaker 1: year don't jump off the page in terms of touchdowns
Speaker 1: and all that with four interceptions, that's fine, but you
Speaker 1: know nine touchdowns is that right? This year? A lot
Speaker 1: of that though, is hey, Travis Eatzen gets the ball
Speaker 1: down there close sometimes right, Well, yes, I had to
Speaker 1: do that. But the one thing I think about Trevor, look,
Speaker 1: I think he has been as solid as you could ask.
Speaker 1: For his numbers in the last five games, which obviously
Speaker 1: a five game winning streak, he is rating combined through
Speaker 1: those five games is over one hundred perfect. I mean
Speaker 1: that's almost perfect. That's winning, winning football. Okay, then interception
Speaker 1: ratio is very strong. Trevor I think has been really solid.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Just like we talk about the offense,
Speaker 1: I really believe that there's another level that Trevor can
Speaker 1: get to, and I think this week he may need
Speaker 1: to take it to another level higher against the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers defense. That yes, I understand that the last
Speaker 1: three games they haven't been on the mark, but overall,
Speaker 1: this is a really good forty nine ers defense, really
Speaker 1: good forty nine ers defense. It's going to challenge you
Speaker 1: at all three levels. And when you get challenged at
Speaker 1: all three levels, your quarterback has to be on point.
Speaker 1: And in another part of this whole equation. And I
Speaker 1: know we're going to get the matchup later on, but
Speaker 1: each tend the better he is, the easier it is
Speaker 1: for the quarterback, right, I mean, that's kind of always
Speaker 1: the case. The better the offensive line is a little
Speaker 1: bit easier, it makes it the job for the quarterback.
Speaker 1: So if Trevor is on the money this week, they win. Okay.
Speaker 1: If Trevor is not on the money this week, it
Speaker 1: gets to be pretty close game. I mean, it's going
Speaker 1: to be a tough game. To win. You gotta play
Speaker 1: well against a really good defense, and that's a defense
Speaker 1: in San Francisco that, oh, by the way, they got
Speaker 1: better in the bye week because they added a really
Speaker 1: good football player in Chase Show they did. And coming
Speaker 1: up in about fifteen minutes, we'll get into how to
Speaker 1: block those guys on the offensive line and where that
Speaker 1: begins the front seven for San Francisco on defense. Right
Speaker 1: there at the top of the National Football League Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour brought to you by the Saint John's River
Speaker 1: Water Management District, Florida's water It's worth saving. We're on
Speaker 1: tentionin XL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com,
Speaker 1: Jaguars YouTube and back in a moment with Jaguars defensive
Speaker 1: talk and how do you slow down this forty nine
Speaker 1: ers attack with weapons all over the field. It is
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy hour.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: The buye is good for getting guys healthy, the rest,
Speaker 4: you know, clearing your mind and your head and and
Speaker 4: you know, but when you get back in it's it's
Speaker 4: you know, how do you maintain an edge, how do
Speaker 4: you maintain.
Speaker 3: You know, the ability to play for full quarters.
Speaker 4: Those are all things that that are that are real,
Speaker 4: you know, coming to coming out of a break, and
Speaker 4: those are the things that I'll be talking to the
Speaker 4: team about this week and and you know, in the
Speaker 4: next couple of weeks and and but it all starts,
Speaker 4: I think during the week of preparation, right in the
Speaker 4: practice and then doing little things, you know, uh, extra.
Speaker 3: Conditioning, getting in the weight room, training.
Speaker 4: Room, you know, all those little things, getting rest at night.
Speaker 3: You know, those are all big pieces to to how you.
Speaker 4: Play, not only coming out of the buy, but but
Speaker 4: I think as we move down.
Speaker 3: You know, the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: That's the head coach of course. Doug Peterson earlier this
Speaker 1: week and welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. Brought to
Speaker 1: you by the Saint John's River Water Management District, Florida's
Speaker 1: water It's worth saving. JP Shadwick and Jeff Logman from
Speaker 1: the Miller Electric Center the Hyundai Studios. We're on ten
Speaker 1: ten XL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com
Speaker 1: and Jaguars YouTube. And we'll hear more from the head
Speaker 1: coach coming up at five o'clock on the Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Also quarterback Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 1: in a conversation from earlier this week, all right, let's
Speaker 1: get to this Jaguars defense now logs and we know
Speaker 1: what they are. They are very good against the run,
Speaker 1: that's their number one priority each and every week, bullyball.
Speaker 1: They are really good in the takeaway game, and they
Speaker 1: are number one in the league, in fact, tied for
Speaker 1: first now and takeaways with eighteen on the season. And
Speaker 1: those were two really of their stated goals at the
Speaker 1: start of the year. That's what they were at the
Speaker 1: end of last season. That's what they are now. The question, though,
Speaker 1: I have, is what's the next step. What does this
Speaker 1: defense have to do to be even better or do
Speaker 1: they have to be that much better? Are Are they
Speaker 1: good enough right now to carry this thing if the
Speaker 1: offense improves, well, yes, I mean they're good enough as
Speaker 1: long as they continue to get the takeaways. I mean
Speaker 1: that's really I think the great equalizer and makes defenses
Speaker 1: better than maybe what they are statistically. Credit the defense, though,
Speaker 1: I mean a big improvement from last year. And one
Speaker 1: of the big reasons why is that they've really dialed
Speaker 1: in a scheme that fits the players that they have,
Speaker 1: and that's playing more of a zone concept, Whereas last
Speaker 1: year they were trying to play a little bit more
Speaker 1: man and it just is kind of like a square
Speaker 1: peg in a round hole. And this year they're playing
Speaker 1: a lot of zone, and they're playing fast, they're staying
Speaker 1: on the same page together, and you can tell it
Speaker 1: that it's working out a lot better. The biggest improvement
Speaker 1: this year while the year has been in progress, has
Speaker 1: been the production on third down. You know, that's been
Speaker 1: a big improvement to where now they're a top five
Speaker 1: defense now with actually at the number five rating. But
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, we talked about it
Speaker 1: JP right here about what was the key to this
Speaker 1: defense in twenty twenty three because we felt that the
Speaker 1: pass rush was not quite ready to be primetime, and
Speaker 1: we said that they need to be jam up against
Speaker 1: the run, and they've termed it bullyball. Okay, they actively
Speaker 1: talk about that and they're playing bullyball. I mean, look
Speaker 1: at the ranking number three in the National Football League
Speaker 1: at stopping the run and then your yards per carry
Speaker 1: is fourth in the National Football League. I mean, those
Speaker 1: are the numbers that you wanted to see at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year when we were having this conversation,
Speaker 1: because it's given them a chance to be able to
Speaker 1: play the pass without a dominant pass rush. It's a
Speaker 1: good pass rush because Josh Allen is one of the
Speaker 1: best pass rushers in the league right now. But if
Speaker 1: you look at it from the number standpoint, he has
Speaker 1: nine over half of the team's sixteen sacks, and that's
Speaker 1: a lot on one guy. Okay, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Josh is negated. Okay, with extra attention which will be coming, Okay,
Speaker 1: then it's tougher for this defense to find somebody else
Speaker 1: to do that. But you know, I give Mike Caldwell
Speaker 1: and Bob Sutton a lot of credit. You know, Bob
Speaker 1: Sutton's a guy that probably doesn't get mentioned a lot.
Speaker 1: Mike Caldwell's name obviously is banning about a lot because
Speaker 1: he's the defensive coordinator, and he's done a fantastic job.
Speaker 1: He's grown a lot in his second year, and I
Speaker 1: think he's really started to understand what his defense does
Speaker 1: well and the experience that he gained the first year
Speaker 1: of being a coordinator. He's done a great job. And
Speaker 1: Bob Sutton has been I think a sounding board for
Speaker 1: Mike Caldwell, but also he's also been one of those
Speaker 1: guys that the voices in the background that's been preaching
Speaker 1: the turnovers, the takeaways, you know, sending group text out
Speaker 1: the entire defense at odd times of the day, about
Speaker 1: thinking about the takeaways, you know, keeping track of it
Speaker 1: during the course of the week and practices and charting
Speaker 1: it of how many times that they force a takeaway
Speaker 1: in practice and seeing how the awareness and the attention
Speaker 1: to that detail and practice has been carrying over in
Speaker 1: a game has been fantastic for this defense. Bob Sutton
Speaker 1: has been in coaching since nineteen seventy two. Long time.
Speaker 1: He was a grad assistant in Michigan nineteen seventy two
Speaker 1: under Bochemba crazy. That's when he started. He was on
Speaker 1: the coach at Army for a long time, and a
Speaker 1: former defensive coordinator in Kansas City for a number of years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all over the he's been a few different places. Obviously
Speaker 1: New York Jets. I think he was a defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: under Andy Reid. Yeah, that's right, not too long ago
Speaker 1: in Kansas City thirteen through eighteen, for a long time.
Speaker 1: So he's in the building for the Jags for sure.
Speaker 1: All right. So stopping the run and saying it is
Speaker 1: one thing, and executing it is quite another. Jaguars have
Speaker 1: done that so far. However, this week you're facing Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and the number one rushing attack, at least by
Speaker 1: number one rushing total. He's the number one rusher in
Speaker 1: the NFL this year by yardage. But he's not just that.
Speaker 1: He's a receiver. He can line up in the slot,
Speaker 1: he can line up outside, he can motion in, he
Speaker 1: can line up in the eye if you need you.
Speaker 1: They have a full back. This guy does everything for them.
Speaker 1: How do you slow him down? How do you beg gain? Well?
Speaker 1: First off, Kyle Shanahan's offense is about running the football.
Speaker 1: It starts right there. Okay. He loves the zone runs
Speaker 1: and then the play action is all built off of
Speaker 1: the success of the running game. And if you remember JP,
Speaker 1: let's go back to twenty seventeen when this Jaguars team
Speaker 1: was really good on defense, travel to San Francisco to
Speaker 1: take the take on the forty nine Ers Christmas Eve,
Speaker 1: and that was a wood shed game. They beat the
Speaker 1: heck out of that ten for forty nine Ers beat
Speaker 1: the heck out of the Jaguars at twenty seventeen, which
Speaker 1: was one of the best defenses period in Jaguars history.
Speaker 1: And the reason why is Kyle Shanahan. That got the
Speaker 1: run game going and then the play action was just,
Speaker 1: you know, just smooth right after that and Jags Jaggs
Speaker 1: gave up forty four points in that game. I got
Speaker 1: whooped forty four to thirty three, I mean got crushed.
Speaker 1: And that was that was a Kyle Shanahan's offense at
Speaker 1: its best, okay. And what he loves to do is
Speaker 1: there's a lot of shifts and a lot of motions.
Speaker 1: In fact, they shift or motion at the highest percentage
Speaker 1: rate in the National Football League, nearly eighty percent. So
Speaker 1: what they do that for, it's kind of window dressing
Speaker 1: one who's Miami's probably number one with all that pre
Speaker 1: snap kind of weird wide receiver out motion counts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they are or not. I bet
Speaker 1: they're up there. But when you have a lot of
Speaker 1: that motions and shifts, it challenges your communication, okay, because
Speaker 1: once an offense shifts or motions, the defense has to
Speaker 1: be able to adjust. Okay, they're adjusting. Things change, maybe
Speaker 1: the coverage will shift or whatever, or strength may change,
Speaker 1: and so everybody has to be on the same page.
Speaker 1: So this week I think it will be a big
Speaker 1: game for Foyier to be able to handle some of
Speaker 1: those shifts and those motions and get everybody on the
Speaker 1: same page. The communication and then back end is going
Speaker 1: to be important as well. But what they like to
Speaker 1: do with all the shifts and motions, it's not a
Speaker 1: complicated offense, but with his shifts in the motions, it
Speaker 1: makes it appear to be complicated because you're seeing things.
Speaker 1: You're not really paying attention to what it ends up being.
Speaker 1: You're too busy worrying about where's this guy, where are
Speaker 1: they at? Are we making sure that we're making the
Speaker 1: right checks and everything and that makes it a little
Speaker 1: bit challenging. But Kyle Shanahan again to go back to
Speaker 1: the foundation of it, running game play action, running game
Speaker 1: play action. You stop the running game, you got a
Speaker 1: great chance of stopping their offense and its entirety, because
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you put more pressure on
Speaker 1: a quarterback that is young, that likes to have the
Speaker 1: comfort zone of the play action, doesn't like to have
Speaker 1: to be dropping back all the time. And I think you,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you increase your chances of success greatly
Speaker 1: if you can stop their running game of McCaffrey and
Speaker 1: you got big bodies up front. We'll see if Trent
Speaker 1: Williams goes. He's been on the Interury Report again this week.
Speaker 1: The left tackle who's been in the league now fourteen
Speaker 1: years and made a whole thirty eight years old. Amazing,
Speaker 1: he was still playing really, really well. And then tight
Speaker 1: end George Kittle, Yes, we see him a lot as
Speaker 1: a receiver down the field, but pound for pound as
Speaker 1: a blockers blocking tight end, he's got to be. In fact,
Speaker 1: we were talking to that about that earlier today and
Speaker 1: that when you turn the film on, I don't think
Speaker 1: there's a better tight end in football for a Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan's offense than George Kittle. And the reason I say
Speaker 1: that he is an exceptional blocker, a willing blocker, but
Speaker 1: then also a really good receiver. I mean last week
Speaker 1: in there or two weeks ago in their game against Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: which they lost, he had nine catches for like one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine yards and then they were down
Speaker 1: the field stuff. I mean, he's a he's a good
Speaker 1: football player, I mean a really good football player. I
Speaker 1: like his game and he's going to be a challenge
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars to handle. But the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: offense overall, they've got a great amount of weapon because
Speaker 1: you have McCaffrey, you have Kittle, you have Ayuk who
Speaker 1: has the third highest yards per catch average in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, and then you're getting Deebo Samuel back
Speaker 1: from the hairline fracture in the shoulder. Will they get
Speaker 1: Trent Williams back as yet to be seen, but if
Speaker 1: they do, that's that makes it a tougher matchup for
Speaker 1: Josh Allen because if Josh Allen could go against a
Speaker 1: backup Jalen Moore, Jalen Moore has given up I think
Speaker 1: in a couple of games the same amount of pressures
Speaker 1: that Trent Williams was giving up in like the previous
Speaker 1: six games. Yeah, so I mean that will help the
Speaker 1: Jaguars chances of success plenty more ahead the Jaguars offensive line,
Speaker 1: how do they handle the front seven? For the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. We're gonna get answers out of
Speaker 1: U logs. I got them, you do, I got them.
Speaker 1: We need to walk down the hall and give him
Speaker 1: down there. I'm sure they might have trust to Doug
Speaker 1: doesn't want to hear in my hands, So we'll hear
Speaker 1: from Doug Peterson coming up at five o'clock and the
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show. PRR Productions, the official event production company
Speaker 1: of the Jail, has everything you need to bring your
Speaker 1: next idea to life. Visit PRI Productions dot com and
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour has brought to you by the Saint
Speaker 1: John's River Water Management District, Florida's water It's worth saving.
Speaker 5: I think the difficult part of it is that they're
Speaker 5: both just they're both great players, so that's what makes
Speaker 5: it hard. I don't think you know, of course, there's
Speaker 5: gonna be things that you might have to adjust to
Speaker 5: in the game, and you're kind of guessing on where
Speaker 5: they're gonna play, what they're gonna do, which side they're
Speaker 5: gonna play on, you know, so you don't really know
Speaker 5: that stuff, but that's something you adjust early. I think
Speaker 5: from a planning perspective, you kind of you go into it.
Speaker 5: We've played some good edge guys this year and uh
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh being an example of that, so we're used to
Speaker 5: having plans for that, but now it's a new guy
Speaker 5: with Nick, and obviously Nick's a great player and chases too.
Speaker 5: So at the end of the day, you gotta you
Speaker 5: gotta win your matchups. You gotta be able to block them.
Speaker 5: We gotta help, gotta help our tackles, we gotta get
Speaker 5: the ball out, we gotta run the ball great, all
Speaker 5: those things. That's kind of what helps. But the end
Speaker 5: of the day, you got to go block them. And
Speaker 5: when it's two ends, you kind of know what they're
Speaker 5: gonna do.
Speaker 1: They gotta pick a.
Speaker 5: Side and they're gonna rush and they're gonna, you know,
Speaker 5: play with instincts and those guys are good players.
Speaker 1: That's quarterback of course. Trevor Lawrence earlier this week discussing
Speaker 1: the edge players for the San Francisco forty nine Ers
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy I brought to you by the Same Time's
Speaker 1: River Water Management District, Florida's water. It's worth saving. The
Speaker 1: full press conference from Trevor available on Jaguars YouTube. Why
Speaker 1: are you laughing? Just the energy? I mean, it is
Speaker 1: worth saving. I'm just trying to I love it is
Speaker 1: just you know, you just bring a level of energy.
Speaker 1: I just I appreciate you because it's worth it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you say bring that energy because it is
Speaker 1: worth it. It certainly is uh and it's worth going
Speaker 1: to check out Trevor's press conference. We'll hear from Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence coming up in the Doug Peterson Show. I caught
Speaker 1: up with him after practice on Wednesday, and a big
Speaker 1: week for him and this offense. He touched on it.
Speaker 1: There the challenge of this defensive line for the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. Certainly, the edge guys are notable.
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa is right there at the top of the
Speaker 1: league in quarterback hits. May not have the big sack total.
Speaker 1: In fact, this San Francisco team only has two more
Speaker 1: sacks than the Jaguars defense eighteen for the season. But
Speaker 1: let's start up front with Bosa and then you add
Speaker 1: Chase Young on the other side, and on their depth
Speaker 1: chart he is listed as a starter. On the other
Speaker 1: side opposite Nick Bosa, they roll in some other guys.
Speaker 1: Their interior guys have numbers as well. So where do
Speaker 1: you start here with this front for San Francisco slowing
Speaker 1: them down? Well, you got you just gotta block them,
Speaker 1: I mean, because there's four guys across the front that
Speaker 1: are all legitimate studs for real. Nick Bosa's is one
Speaker 1: of the best players. I mean, look his numbers because
Speaker 1: remember he had a significant knee injury I think it
Speaker 1: was a couple of years ago, and he missed a
Speaker 1: bunch of times. Yeah, that's right, ends up coming back,
Speaker 1: and so you look at his numbers. He's has forty
Speaker 1: six career sacks. Okay, forty six career sacks. Think about
Speaker 1: that because he the exact same year as Josh Allen. Okay,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has thirty six and a half. Okay, But
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa has missed a significant amount of playing time.
Speaker 1: He has in those with those forty six sacks, it
Speaker 1: got him in fifty nine games. I mean The guy's
Speaker 1: a machine when it comes to sack in the quarterback.
Speaker 1: So he's an excellent player. Chase Young's numbers in his
Speaker 1: career aren't that great. He's been hurt a lot, but
Speaker 1: his numbers this year are pretty good, okay, And he
Speaker 1: was what the defensive rookie of the year his first
Speaker 1: year in Washington, a tremendous player. Then you put those
Speaker 1: two guys, okay, and then put in the middle between
Speaker 1: him Hargrave, who they got from Philadelphia, who last year
Speaker 1: had an excellent year in Philadelphia. I think double double
Speaker 1: digit sacks for the Eagles last year. I think the
Speaker 1: year before that he was closer approaching double digit sacks
Speaker 1: than then. Eric Armstead, who is a DeForest Buckner, long armed,
Speaker 1: big defensive tackle, disruptive. I mean, there's four really good
Speaker 1: football players in the mix here. They roll in kin Law,
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory's on this team, Cleveland Farrell's a first round
Speaker 1: pick in the pash at Farrells, you know. But I mean,
Speaker 1: if those are your rotational guys, that's that's a good
Speaker 1: that's a good rotation, you know, really good rotation. A
Speaker 1: lot of teams have him, Randy Gregory and Cleveland Ferrell
Speaker 1: as rotational guys. And then Ken Law, who is a
Speaker 1: former first round pick inside even though he's been largely
Speaker 1: a disappointment in his career. He has had a ton
Speaker 1: of injuries. South Carolina guy. Physically, I mean, you know, imposing,
Speaker 1: he's kind of like Eric Armstead, you know, six foot six,
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety some odd pounds, I mean, just
Speaker 1: a giant of a man. But he just hasn't had
Speaker 1: the productivity. Ken Law, his first former first round pick,
Speaker 1: only has like one and a half career sacks. I
Speaker 1: mean that number is not very good, you know, but
Speaker 1: this is a really good defense. And then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden and we talk about the front. But then okay,
Speaker 1: uh fred Fred Warner the middle linebacker is right up
Speaker 1: there amongst the best middle linebackers in football with Foyer
Speaker 1: Lucan in my opinion. And then on the back in Havanga,
Speaker 1: the safety is a really good player, Pro Bowl player
Speaker 1: last year. And then right beside him his former Jaguar
Speaker 1: for three years, to Sean Gibson who has over thirty
Speaker 1: career interception. I mean, this is a good this is
Speaker 1: a good defense at all three levels. But there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of uncomfort uncomfortableness in San Francisco with this defense. Uncomfortability, uncomfortableness, discomfort, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the world you go, I do, we'd find it.
Speaker 1: But there's a little bit of discomfort, you know, because
Speaker 1: remember they lost their defensive coordinator from last year, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, is in Houston and I think is
Speaker 1: a really good young head coach in this league. And
Speaker 1: Demico Ryans. The defense had a swagger last year in
Speaker 1: San Francis and they've got a new defensive coordinator and
Speaker 1: Steve Wilks okay who was former interim head coach Carolina,
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, they just don't have that swagger
Speaker 1: that they have. And so in the bye week, Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan talked openly about maybe having Wilkes come from the
Speaker 1: booth or leave the booth and come down to the
Speaker 1: field to be in more of a direct line of
Speaker 1: communication with the players and the linebackers, and so that's
Speaker 1: what they're going to be doing this week. So whenever
Speaker 1: you're in mid season and you start doing some of
Speaker 1: these adjustments like they're doing with their coach, moving them
Speaker 1: from the booth to the field, then there is a
Speaker 1: level of discomfort and they're not satisfied with where the
Speaker 1: productivity is at or the energy is at on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. So you know, it would
Speaker 1: be great if you can start fast just to kind
Speaker 1: of still kind of leave a little bit of that
Speaker 1: doubt in their minds as a defense. Start fast meanings
Speaker 1: you have the lead. And they've had the lead in
Speaker 1: certainly in this win streak five in a row for
Speaker 1: the majority of the time, they've trailed for only seven
Speaker 1: minutes ten seconds in the last five games the Jaguars
Speaker 1: have So when you play either in a tie game
Speaker 1: or with the lead, and Doug Peterson talked about it,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll ask him about it in the
Speaker 1: second hour. You know, you add all these field goals
Speaker 1: all of a sudden from fifty plus and you're playing
Speaker 1: with maybe it might be a six point lead, but
Speaker 1: it's a can be a different feel with Hey have
Speaker 1: that advantage. Hey, you get a six point league. You
Speaker 1: have a six point league going into the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really good about this game. Right There was
Speaker 1: a number that it shocked me, I mean shocked me, shocking,
Speaker 1: shocking staut of the day. Hold your horses, Hey, the
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. Okay under Shanahan. Okay, when they're trailing
Speaker 1: by three points or more entering the fourth quarter, their
Speaker 1: record out of thirty one game, I'd say they have
Speaker 1: a winning rec. Later they're in five hundred, they're one
Speaker 1: and thirty. Really, that's crazy, that's disgusting. I mean it's
Speaker 1: when I read it, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: how is that possible? The forty nine ers. Let me
Speaker 1: repeat this, The forty nine Ers are one in thirty
Speaker 1: when trailing by more than three points entering the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter under Kyle Shanahan. That is shocking. And it just
Speaker 1: goes to show you. We talked earlier about what this
Speaker 1: offense is about. Okay, running the ball, play action. When
Speaker 1: a team gets behind, what typically what kind of offense
Speaker 1: do they typically now start to execute? You start throwing
Speaker 1: it right, throwing it moving down the field, passing game,
Speaker 1: you start changing it up right to catch up right. Well,
Speaker 1: that's not their comfort zone. That's that's not the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers way of playing offense. They're their way of
Speaker 1: playing offenses, running the ball and play action. And that's
Speaker 1: why if you can get a little bit of a
Speaker 1: lead late in the ball game, put the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers in a position to where they're not in their
Speaker 1: comfort zone. I think it would put them in a tough,
Speaker 1: tough position. And because that number, I think says a lot.
Speaker 1: And brock Perdy, if you look at his performance in
Speaker 1: the last three games, all of his interceptions that he has,
Speaker 1: which is five on the year, have come in these
Speaker 1: last three games. Then he also has lost a fumble.
Speaker 1: He's had six giveaways in the three losses that they
Speaker 1: have had going into the bye week. So you got
Speaker 1: to try to keep his rhythm in disarray. And the
Speaker 1: way you do that is that you play bully ball, okay,
Speaker 1: jaguar style of football on defense, stop the run, stop McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: and then do a heck of a job of putting
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on a quarterback that does not
Speaker 1: like to do anything but do the play action stuff.
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing. This is another number I
Speaker 1: was shocked about. Shocking. You're shocked about a lot of things. Okay,
Speaker 1: brock Perdy. By the way, who is mister irrelevant from
Speaker 1: last year's draft? So pretty interesting. You got a battle
Speaker 1: of the first overall pick from three years ago and
Speaker 1: then last year's mister irrelevant Okay, Purty is not money
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Okay rock Perty's numbers in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. His completion percentage drops ten percent, Okay drops
Speaker 1: ten percent. His rating drops in the fourth quarter thirty points. Okay,
Speaker 1: has more interceptions in the fourth quarter than the combined
Speaker 1: interceptions in the first, second, and third quarters. That's that's
Speaker 1: not good. That's when you want your quarterback to play
Speaker 1: above that is right, and that he's not at its
Speaker 1: best in the fourth quarter, and Kyle Shanahan's offense is
Speaker 1: not at its best. If they don't have a lead
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, Okay, well let's hold them to that.
Speaker 1: Find a way to get a lead in the beginning
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter. If you're looking for the MVP
Speaker 1: of the truck game, then no further than Ford f
Speaker 1: one point fifty. Loaded with impressive capability and designed to
Speaker 1: dominate workplay and everything in between. This truck makes tough
Speaker 1: look easy. Your local Ford dealer partner of the Jacksonville

Speaker 1: correct A got a new quarterback playing right now? They do.
Speaker 1: We'll collect that game next week. Yes. Let's take a
Speaker 1: look now officially at the injury report presented by Baptist
Speaker 1: Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine
Speaker 1: provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nothing out today yet. Yesterday
Speaker 1: it was announced around six forty pm, so we might
Speaker 1: be a couple hours away from the official announcement from
Speaker 1: the Jaguars PR staff for today. But yesterday, let's review you.
Speaker 1: Sirrabdulah was ill yesterday did not outside linebacker cornerback Tyson
Speaker 1: Campbell safety Andre Cisco Both were limited with hamstring issues,
Speaker 1: as was safety Daniel Thomas. Limited yesterday with a hamstring issue.
Speaker 1: Greg Junior Full coming off a hamstring injury, his window
Speaker 1: opened a couple of weeks ago to get back to work.
Speaker 1: The cornerback could be back, We'll see how the week
Speaker 1: goes for him. Also limited with an e issue. Z
Speaker 1: A Jones with a tow issue. The new offensive lineman
Speaker 1: Ezra Cleveland limited yesterday. Also, those are the injuries for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Trent Williams, the tackle for San Francisco, did
Speaker 1: not practice Wednesday with an ankle issue he's been battling.
Speaker 1: We'll see how that progresses as the week moves along.
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Deebo Samuel the shoulder issue was full, Drake
Speaker 1: Greenlaw the linebacker full with the shoulder issue. Two other
Speaker 1: players did not practice Raydray McLeod the wide receiver and
Speaker 1: guard Aaron Banks Drake Jackson defensive end, and Banks is
Speaker 1: a big one. I mean, that's that's starting left guard.
Speaker 1: So you're if Trent Williams doesn't go, Aaron Banks doesn't go,
Speaker 1: So the entire left side of the forty nine Ers
Speaker 1: offensive line is going to be backups. And look, Trent
Speaker 1: Williams is an elite player. I mean there's no around
Speaker 1: and getting around that. He's a really good football player,
Speaker 1: one of the top four or five tackles I think
Speaker 1: in the league still even at the age of I
Speaker 1: think he's almost thirty eight, is he not? Ky? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's been around for a long time. But
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers offensive line is not great. That's
Speaker 1: one part of their offense that I think is that
Speaker 1: has gone down a little bit. Look, they lost a
Speaker 1: starting right tackle from last year in free agency and
Speaker 1: mckivitz is now the right tackle. But that's I think
Speaker 1: that's a matchup the Jaguars need to take advantage of
Speaker 1: in this ball game. I like that, especially especially if
Speaker 1: Trent Williams doesn't play. I mean Josh Allen, I mean
Speaker 1: Josh I might have to wear he might have to
Speaker 1: wear a bib come out to play that ball game.
Speaker 1: If he's got to back up, he's gonna be drooling,
Speaker 1: can't wait. You know, players always talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: feasting on absolutely on the game in the moment. There
Speaker 1: you go, man, that's all you can eat buffet. Well,
Speaker 1: the backup, that would be nice, certainly. Hey, this Saturday,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are releasing the second installment of the Lafov collaboration.
Speaker 1: You can purchase at the Miller Electric Center Jaguars pro
Speaker 1: shops starting at ten am, and if you donate to
Speaker 1: the Tide Clothing Drible on site, you'll receive a commemorative
Speaker 1: Jaguars Lafav poster while supplies last. We did a deep
Speaker 1: dive into the proper pronunciation did. We did some research
Speaker 1: into exactly we promised we were going to say that term.
Speaker 1: I promised I did too, and I do it out
Speaker 1: of just let it slip spite sometimes. But whatever, the
Speaker 1: proper pronunciation is lafav. That's what we were told and
Speaker 1: it's very reliable source. It goes back to a French origins, right, sure,
Speaker 1: you heard it right. Sounds French to me. But some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that he has, Okay, that Lafov has
Speaker 1: is fantastic people. If you haven't seen it, check it out.
Speaker 1: Some of the coolest, hippest stuff that's out there. The
Speaker 1: second drop on Saturday, the official new era lafav hat
Speaker 1: and white white polo with the ninety five logo on it.
Speaker 1: Socks if you're into that. He's got shorts that are killer.
Speaker 1: So you know, you might want to come early and
Speaker 1: get in line. Let's put it that way. So that
Speaker 1: stuff's coming up. Hey, you know what else is coming
Speaker 1: up is Doug Peterson, head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguar,
Speaker 1: is coming up at five o'clock on the Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: Show about five minutes from right now. We'll get his
Speaker 1: thoughts coming out of the bye week and trying to
Speaker 1: get this offense. They're middle of the pack statistically in
Speaker 1: total offense and rushing and passing in fact fourteenth and
Speaker 1: all of those, but situationally they have left some things
Speaker 1: out there, third downs, red zone. How do you improve that?
Speaker 1: Moving ahead? The health of the team's a little bit
Speaker 1: better overall, and we'll see what the head coach says
Speaker 1: about all of that. Certainly on the offensive side, he's
Speaker 1: got to be pleased with the defense has done so far.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and also please with the defense's health. I mean,
Speaker 1: this defense, you got Devon Hamilton back, you got Smoot back. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're getting Tyson Campbell back, Cisco's coming back. Everybody seems
Speaker 1: to be healthy. This is this defense ought to be
Speaker 1: in a really good place. But I've always wondered a
Speaker 1: head coach has approached to getting a team that really
Speaker 1: kind of had a had an edge prior to the
Speaker 1: bye week, how do you go about making sure that
Speaker 1: that edge is retained coming back after the bye week,
Speaker 1: Because that's not an easy thing to do. You know,
Speaker 1: you you get an old mindset as a player, and
Speaker 1: you know, Okay, Monday you do this, Tuesday you do that, Okay, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sat.
Speaker 1: Then Sunday. You know you're getting your mind, you know,
Speaker 1: ready for that big day. You know, you got to
Speaker 1: get back into that flow, back into that rhythm because
Speaker 1: you know, you had four consecutive days off and hopefully
Speaker 1: the players took advantage of it from from getting a
Speaker 1: rest treatment, getting their bodies back getting their mind back
Speaker 1: and being being right. So hopefully this team can keep
Speaker 1: on rolling. It takes time to build that, I mean
Speaker 1: because when the Jags left here after week three to
Speaker 1: go to London, I would say they didn't have an edge,
Speaker 1: like they had just gotten smoked by the Texans. Well,
Speaker 1: they were still trying to kind of figure things out.
Speaker 1: You know, they didn't have an edge, and they were
Speaker 1: it almost looked like they weren't having fun playing the game.
Speaker 1: You know, there wasn't that energy. And then they found
Speaker 1: the energy at Wembley, and then it's just been, you know,
Speaker 1: been kind of continuing and I don't want to say
Speaker 1: necessarily building, but to some extent, yes, growing and insensively.
Speaker 1: I think that energy has been building. Then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they go to Pittsburgh and they're waving towels
Speaker 1: of their face, well and looks. I still believe that
Speaker 1: this offense can really make significant strides, and this defense
Speaker 1: has been making the strides. Still got a lot of
Speaker 1: room defensively to grow, and I think this offense definitely
Speaker 1: has a couple levels that they can attain still yet
Speaker 1: this year. Because they were talking remember at the start
Speaker 1: of the year, hey, thirty points a game is doable,
Speaker 1: right and what are they twenty four game right now?
Speaker 1: It's somewhere in that ballpark. What the offense Jags offense? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean in the last what I've heard many games
Speaker 1: it is. But you know, I think Trevor put it right.
Speaker 1: And he said this, and I wrote this down because
Speaker 1: I think he's dead on the money. He said, it
Speaker 1: would be nice to put those together against a good
Speaker 1: team like this. This is the week to do it.
Speaker 1: You got to play well against great teams. And what
Speaker 1: he was talking about about, you know, putting together third
Speaker 1: down production, protecting the football, all the things that they're
Speaker 1: not doing great right now as an offense, putting those
Speaker 1: things together, making them happen, and then seeing what that
Speaker 1: looks like. And this will be a really good week
Speaker 1: to start to get that ball rolling on the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, no doubt about that. Hope you
Speaker 1: can make it out to the bank. On Sunday. One
Speaker 1: o'clock is the kickoff time. Will be on the air
Speaker 1: with the Public's Tailgate Show here in Jacksonville at ten
Speaker 1: am and then at twelve unit's Countdown to Kickoff on

Speaker 1: whole deal. Looking forward to seeing some of the guys. Yeah,
