Speaker 1: It is Thursday, October eight. This is Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: and now a guy who's always operating at full capacity.
Speaker 1: J Peace Shadrick, You got that right. Welcome in Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour on this Thursday. Ahead of the Jaguars Texans
Speaker 1: matchup in week five, J P. Shadrick with Jeff Loghman,
Speaker 1: We've got a show for you today, the Jaguars Texans
Speaker 1: preview will dig into the XS and ohs a little
Speaker 1: bit today. How these teams match up. The defense looking
Speaker 1: for a sixty minute performance, played pretty well in the
Speaker 1: first half. They gotta turn over, they had to lead
Speaker 1: at halftime, and then I got run all over in
Speaker 1: the second half. Last week. They've got a face to
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson here in week five. The balance of the
Speaker 1: offense continues to be a talking point. How can they
Speaker 1: get James Robinson the football a little bit more on
Speaker 1: the ground and balance it out. Tony Pselli joins us
Speaker 1: from Chicago at four thirty. He's up there for Thursday
Speaker 1: Night football, the Bears and the Buccaneers. Brady Versus folds
Speaker 1: tonight COVID nineteen issues around the league, including certainly in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: The Division rivals having plenty of issues and nothing official
Speaker 1: has come down from the league yet as to this
Speaker 1: week's game with the Bills. Will go into Thursday Night
Speaker 1: football as well with Tony Jeff Lagaman from the home studio.
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, what's happening, hey, JP? How you doing, Buddy?
Speaker 1: Doing well? We're ready for some football. The Jackson a
Speaker 1: three game slide going now. The Texans are oh and
Speaker 1: four and they fired their head coach. Bill O'Brien has
Speaker 1: gone on Monday, Romeo Cornell as the interim head coach.
Speaker 1: It's uh, you know, well, well we'll hear from Doug
Speaker 1: Maroon coming up. He's obviously very close to Bill O'Brien.
Speaker 1: But does this do anything for the Texans? Does this
Speaker 1: rally the troops circle the wagons, filling the cliche for
Speaker 1: something to get them maybe a little more, a little
Speaker 1: more pepper than in their step of sorts this week.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great question, And I think teams
Speaker 1: sometimes can get I don't want to say a boost
Speaker 1: or a lift, but I think they can all of
Speaker 1: a sudden play differently after the coach is fired. Because
Speaker 1: when a coach gets fired, everybody kind of gets put
Speaker 1: on notice. Hey, look, your jobs are on the line,
Speaker 1: and if we don't play well after the coach has
Speaker 1: already gone. So guess who's net be my rear out right?
Speaker 1: I mean if I'm a player, so you start to
Speaker 1: think about, well, I better start taking care of my
Speaker 1: own job so that I can keep my job going forward.
Speaker 1: So you could get a little bit of a boost,
Speaker 1: But then it's not. It's nothing that's typically permanent or
Speaker 1: long lasting. And uh and I think it's a and
Speaker 1: sometimes in some cases it can be very disruptive because
Speaker 1: the players now have a distraction. You now have a
Speaker 1: lot of change, and especially in the year with COVID
Speaker 1: and protocols, And I mean it's hard enough playing football
Speaker 1: right now than it is without trying to make an
Speaker 1: end season change with with the head coach. And and
Speaker 1: for me personally, I don't know what the Texans are doing.
Speaker 1: Why would you fire the head coach after four games
Speaker 1: unless it was something really agregious, which we haven't heard
Speaker 1: anything of that nature. And if you're firing a coach
Speaker 1: because he lost the first four games, he just gave
Speaker 1: him the title of general manager to go along with
Speaker 1: being the head coach back in January. He has taken
Speaker 1: your team to a division title. I think four out
Speaker 1: of the last five years. You go back to teen,
Speaker 1: he started the season OUTO and three and guess what,
Speaker 1: he led the team to the playoffs that year. I just,
Speaker 1: I just I just don't understand it. This to me,
Speaker 1: j P, I smell, I smell power play. And and
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with the Texans. I'm
Speaker 1: not there to experience it. But but the whole Jack
Speaker 1: Easterly thing about how he ended up in the position
Speaker 1: that he did is very baffling to me. And and
Speaker 1: I think it's very suspicious with this move that the
Speaker 1: Texans have made. And we'll see there are some reports
Speaker 1: of some some player and coach interactions the last few weeks. Well,
Speaker 1: I know what what we're smelling. You know, you said
Speaker 1: you smell that Oden for smells bad. No matter what
Speaker 1: you put out there, that that just stinks. So things
Speaker 1: are not going well in Houston, of course. So let's
Speaker 1: hear from head coach Doug Moron, who was very close
Speaker 1: to Bill O'Brien, and he had some thoughts about the
Speaker 1: firing of his friend earlier this week in this league.
Speaker 1: I probably I would say that you know, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I probably know him better than than than anyone.
Speaker 1: And you know, I know that he's an outstanding football coach.
Speaker 1: He's he's proven that. UM. I know that he's very
Speaker 1: loyal to his coaches and players and organizations. I think that, Um.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that has won four out
Speaker 1: of five titles in the a f C South. And
Speaker 1: I think he's someone that's uh, he's outstanding family man,
Speaker 1: he cares, um. Um, I mean, there's just so many
Speaker 1: great qualities. You know. I can't believe I have to
Speaker 1: say this publicly now, you know, because normally I bust
Speaker 1: his his chops. But um, and he's a great friend
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it's always sad, you know when
Speaker 1: you see things like this, and UM, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: sure that he'll have, you know, opportunities down the road
Speaker 1: because because of all the things that he's done. All right,
Speaker 1: So obviously we we've known this storyline for a few
Speaker 1: years how close they are. So it's on the Romeo Cornell,
Speaker 1: who doesn't have a great record as a head coach
Speaker 1: in his career, but he's been in the league and
Speaker 1: is highly respected. He's been in the league since one.
Speaker 1: He's been around for a long time, and he's been
Speaker 1: there for a long time, so it's not like a
Speaker 1: huge amount of change except the head coach is gone.
Speaker 1: You're buying that, uh? I mean, look that That's my
Speaker 1: whole point is that. I mean, first of all, Romeo
Speaker 1: Cornell is one of the most respected coaches to ever
Speaker 1: walk the halls of the NFL. I mean, he's right
Speaker 1: up there with you know, a Terry Robiski, you know,
Speaker 1: when you're talking about the guys that have been around
Speaker 1: for a long period of time and Gardener just a
Speaker 1: ton of respect. And Romeo Cornell, even though he no
Speaker 1: longer holds the title of defensive coordinator, has been made
Speaker 1: a big impact with Houston Texans in a lot of
Speaker 1: different ways, and probably the most significant way was being
Speaker 1: a defensive coach. And so, I don't you know, looking
Speaker 1: a lot of people when when you have this type
Speaker 1: of situation where an interim coach takes over, a lot
Speaker 1: of people say, well maybe the interim coach had a
Speaker 1: little bit of influence and getting the coach fired. That
Speaker 1: if anybody's thinking that with Romeo Cornell, they're they're barking
Speaker 1: up the wrong tree. That's not the type of guy
Speaker 1: that he is, and Romeo Cornell would love nothing more
Speaker 1: than to continue to work for Bill O'Brien the capacity
Speaker 1: that he was working in, and so I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna do a good job for the Houston Texans. And
Speaker 1: I think the interesting thing to me is is that
Speaker 1: as a head coach, you know, I mean, you have
Speaker 1: a limited amount of time to really put your imprint
Speaker 1: and you're not going to change the scheme, you know that.
Speaker 1: That was kind of my point there is that you know,
Speaker 1: what are you affecting change wise by changing your head
Speaker 1: coach after you've just finished your fourth game of the season.
Speaker 1: You just can't really affect any change whatsoever, you know,
Speaker 1: So that move right there, you know, especially with the
Speaker 1: team that has clearly has a franchise quarterback in Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: even though his numbers are a little bit down this year,
Speaker 1: but I think the number of weapons that he has
Speaker 1: around him certainly are down this year too. So, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, good for the Jaguars. And you know, you
Speaker 1: got a little bit of dysfunction, I guess you would
Speaker 1: call it in Houston or or you know, uh change,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, distraction. You know, could
Speaker 1: that be to the Jaguars advengage this week? Maybe, But
Speaker 1: then it could be the opposite, and that you could
Speaker 1: see a Texans team that comes out with a lot
Speaker 1: of pepping or step and all of a sudden they
Speaker 1: get a little charge out of it and last for
Speaker 1: a week or two weeks or however long it left for.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Right the Jaguars played the Texans twice
Speaker 1: in the next five weeks of the season. By the way,
Speaker 1: we asked Gardner Minshew this week the Jags media did
Speaker 1: earlier about the situation in Houston. He had a little
Speaker 1: bit of a different perspective. And we got enough termoil
Speaker 1: and turmoil going on our own. You know, we gotta
Speaker 1: fix out first. Um. So hey, we're fired out, We're
Speaker 1: ready to go. Um. You know, I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people writing us out, but the belief on this
Speaker 1: team is still very strong, and um, you know we're
Speaker 1: ready to get out there as well. Yeah, the Jags
Speaker 1: have their own things going on right now to worry
Speaker 1: too much about what's going on in Houston. That was
Speaker 1: not the word he used, but I'm not gonna go there.
Speaker 1: But I think it was a little bit more of
Speaker 1: a of a colorful, colorful, colorful term that Gardner used,
Speaker 1: and uh, I thought that. I think so sometimes when
Speaker 1: Gardner miss You talks, I just sit there and go.
Speaker 1: You gotta love him. He's one of those guys that
Speaker 1: you just want to you want to sit down and
Speaker 1: have a have a beer with and hang out with
Speaker 1: because he's just so cool, laid back and and real,
Speaker 1: you know. And a lot of times guys when they
Speaker 1: get up there and at the podium, they just sometimes
Speaker 1: act uh prepared and and buttoned up. And Gardners sometimes
Speaker 1: he just he just lets it fly. And I think
Speaker 1: that was a classic line by him, and in a
Speaker 1: good line by him. You know. One one more thing
Speaker 1: though about Bill O'Brien. A lot of people say, you know,
Speaker 1: poor poor Bill O'Brien, And the one thing I will
Speaker 1: say is that Bill brian is gonna get a job.
Speaker 1: I mean, make no mistake about it. Bill O'Brien is
Speaker 1: a good football coach. What he was able to do
Speaker 1: at Penn State alone was unbelievable. And so you have
Speaker 1: a head coach with a phenomenal track record, and with
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans winning Division championships, they did a great
Speaker 1: job with the Tectans. Now you can sit there and
Speaker 1: debate all you want about the role and the job
Speaker 1: that he did as general manager and trading away a
Speaker 1: lot of really good players, you know, the DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: and Clowney and not really getting a whole lot and return.
Speaker 1: And I have been one of those guys that has
Speaker 1: sat there and criticized a lot of the moves that
Speaker 1: he made as a general manager. Essentially, he traded away
Speaker 1: a lot of the future of the Houston Texans to
Speaker 1: get guys on the football team that have produced very
Speaker 1: little to nothing. And so they should have just fired
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien the general manager, or in fact, if if
Speaker 1: you want to go back and and be honest about
Speaker 1: whoever hired or allowed Bill O'Brien to assume control as
Speaker 1: the general manager and to allow him to do though,
Speaker 1: was whoever allowed that to happen. They should be looking
Speaker 1: at their own job security. But you really can't because
Speaker 1: that goes all the way to ownership JP in that situation.
Speaker 1: But one one thing Bill O'Brien had, I think this
Speaker 1: year on a contract, two more years on a contract
Speaker 1: he was fired. He's gonna get all of his money
Speaker 1: that he was due and at some point he's going
Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to coach again. Orther it be
Speaker 1: at the college level and maybe even at the NFL
Speaker 1: level again, and he's gonna be just fine. And when
Speaker 1: those guys sign up to be coaches in the National
Speaker 1: Football League, they know what they're getting into, so so
Speaker 1: no surprises there when somebody gets fired. More on this
Speaker 1: from my head coach Doug Moron coming up with the
Speaker 1: Doug Moron Show will get his perspective again with his
Speaker 1: friend Bill O'Brien who was let go this week. Now,
Speaker 1: let's figure some of the Jaguars stuff out. I was
Speaker 1: starting on offense here. Uh. DJ Chark was back in
Speaker 1: the lineup last week, obviously an immediate impact there. James
Speaker 1: Robinson put together another hundred another one yards scrimmage yard
Speaker 1: day in Cincinnati. What is the biggest thing that this
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense needs to improve upon in your opinion right now? Well? Everything, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think first and foremost. You know, they came out
Speaker 1: of the gates and they were extremely successful at third
Speaker 1: down completion completion percentage and also the conversion rate on
Speaker 1: third down, and that has dropped significantly in the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and so in order for your offense
Speaker 1: to be more productive, they need to find a way
Speaker 1: to stay on the field more. Well, that's all about
Speaker 1: third down. I mean last week I think it was
Speaker 1: a good example of that. They were i think, only
Speaker 1: on third down. And it's hard to win when you're
Speaker 1: at that level. And how do you how do you
Speaker 1: be better on third down? Well, you're you're you're better
Speaker 1: on the first and second down leading up the third
Speaker 1: down to give you a more favorable down and distance.
Speaker 1: And and also quite simply, your quarterback has to play better.
Speaker 1: And uh and yes we understand, and everybody sits there
Speaker 1: and says, well, Gardner Minshew's only you know, he started
Speaker 1: sixteen games and that was the sixteenth game and Cincinnati. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's true, and yes he's got a lot of room
Speaker 1: for improvement, and he's still young, and and so you
Speaker 1: expect the improvement to come, and I'm sure it will.
Speaker 1: But the reality is, if you want to win now,
Speaker 1: he needs to be better now, and your offense as
Speaker 1: a whole needs to be better, you know. I think
Speaker 1: I think the one difference I think that really stood
Speaker 1: out to me JP in that game was you kind
Speaker 1: of compared to performances of the two quarterbacks because it's
Speaker 1: just natural. I mean, you just do that. And when
Speaker 1: you watch Joe Burrow, who's another young player, who was
Speaker 1: squeezing the ball and putting it in tight windows. And
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he just did it in that game.
Speaker 1: He was doing it in the games leading up to that,
Speaker 1: and when he had a man coverage opportunity, he was
Speaker 1: putting it on the dime to his tight end, crossing
Speaker 1: over with great coverage by Joe Schober. I mean, if
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew and the offense are gonna take the next step,
Speaker 1: then he needs to start doing that. He needs to
Speaker 1: find the windows in the zone. He needs to be
Speaker 1: able to put it on a dime when he needs
Speaker 1: to with type man coverage. Because those are the things
Speaker 1: I think that right now that he's not doing good enough.
Speaker 1: And and look all that understood that he is completing
Speaker 1: the ball at a high percentage rate, you know what,
Speaker 1: seventy plus percent, which is tremendous, but you also have
Speaker 1: to kind of factor in what's the effective completion percentage
Speaker 1: when I stay effective as far as how it's affecting
Speaker 1: your team. Is he completing balls that's making a difference
Speaker 1: for his offense, and right now it needs to be
Speaker 1: better the run game. Jake Ruden talked about this today.
Speaker 1: You know, there's been points this season where they've been
Speaker 1: so far behind that maybe he's come off the run
Speaker 1: a little bit early. How did he make that last week?
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, obviously, if they get to
Speaker 1: a point where they're tied in the game, leading a game,
Speaker 1: at some point, feed the rock to James Robinson sounds
Speaker 1: pretty good to me. Yeah, well, you gotta get there first.
Speaker 1: I mean, they haven't even been there yet, you know,
Speaker 1: and so, uh, it's hard to have a game where
Speaker 1: you're feeding James Robinson because you're not playing good enough
Speaker 1: to get there, you know. So I thought he did
Speaker 1: a pretty good job of sticking more with the run
Speaker 1: this game than he did certainly the week before against Miami,
Speaker 1: where I thought he abandoned a little bit. Because you know,
Speaker 1: James Robinson is a great player. I mean, James Robinson
Speaker 1: is playing so well that right now, you don't even
Speaker 1: have a reason to bring Chris Thompson on the field.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care if it's third down in
Speaker 1: a passing situation or not. Because James Robinson is a
Speaker 1: better third down back then Chris Thompson. And Chris Thompson
Speaker 1: was brought in here to be the man on third Town,
Speaker 1: you know, so credit to James Robinson. And I think
Speaker 1: there are ways that they can get creative more so
Speaker 1: with James Robinson in the passing game. And I think
Speaker 1: that that's something I'm sure that that Jay Gruden's Look,
Speaker 1: when you when you have a young player, it takes
Speaker 1: a certain period of time to get to the point
Speaker 1: where you're trusting him. And then also you're like, hey, look, wow,
Speaker 1: he really does this nice and see if we can
Speaker 1: incorporate that in to a game plan next week where
Speaker 1: we have a play specifically designed for him. So I
Speaker 1: think it's a feeling out learning process getting James Robinson
Speaker 1: more involved in a passing game. And and obviously he's
Speaker 1: starting to take more time away from Chris Thompson now,
Speaker 1: so now you you got to kind of create things
Speaker 1: for James instead of Chris. And but you know, look,
Speaker 1: I think they're doing a great job with with James Robinson.
Speaker 1: And you know, he's a young player and and he's
Speaker 1: been a marvelous player. I think he's the best player
Speaker 1: that they have on offense. And and that's even considering
Speaker 1: d J Chark. I mean, he's right up there with
Speaker 1: DJ and maybe even past DJ a little bit. But
Speaker 1: this past game probably not because g DJ was really good,
Speaker 1: but but JP uh, I think the tempo of the game,
Speaker 1: when you start to play better and it's more competitive, Okay,
Speaker 1: then we start getting more carries for James Robinson. But
Speaker 1: I mean, how are you gonna get James Robinson more
Speaker 1: carries a ball game against Cincinnati when you were you're
Speaker 1: down two scores for a good part of that second half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it went away quickly, that lead in the second half,
Speaker 1: and well they had the big run the opening drive,
Speaker 1: it was called back on a hold and then they
Speaker 1: were behind the chains and then behind by two scores
Speaker 1: the following drive after that, so it went away quickly.
Speaker 1: More on the Texans defense coming up in just a
Speaker 1: little bit. But likes, we're gonna come back in a
Speaker 1: moment and we're going to figure out the Jaguars defense,
Speaker 1: or you're going to figure out the Jaguars defense. How
Speaker 1: about that? Okay, Okay, okay, it's gonna happen. It's Jaguars

Speaker 1: NRG Stadium in Houston. And welcome back to Jaguars Happy
Speaker 1: our j P. Shadrick with Jeff Logerman Tony Boselli coming
Speaker 1: up in about ten minutes or so from Chicago ahead
Speaker 1: of Thursday Night football. Okay, Logs, let's get into this
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense, and it is a beat up group. Last week,
Speaker 1: Henderson left the game early, the cornerback with the shoulder issue.
Speaker 1: D J. Hayden is now an i R after is
Speaker 1: hamstring issue. But when Myles Jack left that game last week,
Speaker 1: right away, you saw a huge difference in what happened
Speaker 1: on that field in Cincinnati. In my opinion, yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: I think that the performance level of the defense dropped
Speaker 1: significantly without Miles Jack. I mean, that's that's the level
Speaker 1: that he's playing at right now. There were three plays
Speaker 1: I thought in that ball game that really showed how
Speaker 1: how skilled that that Miles really is. And there was
Speaker 1: one it was a speed reverse that he handed the
Speaker 1: ball off the receiver and and Miles runs him down
Speaker 1: when he gets a little or no game. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's not many linebackers in the league on a on
Speaker 1: a speed reverse that can run down the receiver. And
Speaker 1: he did another play where he he attacks up into
Speaker 1: the middle on a run that was an inside zone
Speaker 1: and he literally stones an offensive lineman and he grabs
Speaker 1: a running back and he just wrestles him down to
Speaker 1: the round. I mean it was just physical. So I
Speaker 1: mean you've got two opposite ends of the spectrum there
Speaker 1: where you got, you know, the speed that to play
Speaker 1: the position, and then the power and the aggressiveness to
Speaker 1: play the position. And then the big playability on the
Speaker 1: interception in the end zone where he had great coverage
Speaker 1: times up his hands, getting in the hands of the
Speaker 1: receiver and then comes down and pulls the ball away.
Speaker 1: I mean that that's that's big time. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is this is all pro level stuff by Miles Jack
Speaker 1: And when he did vacate the game, JP, you're dead
Speaker 1: on the money. The performance of the defense overall drop
Speaker 1: didn't have that kind of an impact with everybody else.
Speaker 1: But I mean when he leaves the game, I mean
Speaker 1: you notice, I mean it's almost like the energy just
Speaker 1: kinda goes goes down. But that's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: to lose in one game, you know, because you know
Speaker 1: c J and d J. You're talking too of your
Speaker 1: starting defensive backs, and you're already missing Gerald Wilson, who
Speaker 1: is expected maybe back this week. And then I think
Speaker 1: in the game you lost for a short period of
Speaker 1: time Josh Allen and he came back and I guess
Speaker 1: he appears to be fine. And then obviously losing Miles
Speaker 1: was a significant loss in that game. So, uh, this
Speaker 1: football team coming out of the the Cincinnati game, you're talking
Speaker 1: about five guys that didn't finish the game. Because on
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, you have Cam Robinson
Speaker 1: and Laviska Chanal. So what's the status of all these guys.
Speaker 1: I think that that's gonna be And obviously we're looking
Speaker 1: at the practice report and it looks like some of
Speaker 1: these guys will play. But the reality is JP is
Speaker 1: that Look, when you don't finish a game, as as
Speaker 1: as a pro football player, then you come back the
Speaker 1: next week. Just because you're playing doesn't mean you're gonna
Speaker 1: be very good because a lot of guys play through
Speaker 1: it and they can play through it and be at
Speaker 1: an effective level, but a lot of guys can't because
Speaker 1: it's hard. I mean, you're just trying to be there
Speaker 1: for your teammates. But if you're hurting, you're hurting, you know.
Speaker 1: So it will be very interesting to watch even who's
Speaker 1: gonna be active number one. But then of the guys
Speaker 1: that are active, how effective can they be. We still
Speaker 1: haven't seen the official injury report come down today, but
Speaker 1: as of yesterday, as you would expect, a lot of
Speaker 1: those guys did not practice in the first day of
Speaker 1: the practice week. We usually get a better idea on
Speaker 1: Thursday of how things will go as the week moves ahead. Here.
Speaker 1: Todd wash today though, did say that Trey Herndon is
Speaker 1: the backup Nickel. He said this in his press conference,
Speaker 1: So Herndon sounds like he's moving inside. It could be
Speaker 1: Sydney Jones or Chris Claybrooks to play outside at corner,
Speaker 1: uh and two guys that as we saw Claybrooks jump
Speaker 1: in there last week. But Sydney Jones a lot of
Speaker 1: and a couple of guys that just don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of of time in this defense. No, neither one
Speaker 1: of them have a lot of time. And when you
Speaker 1: had Cdy Jos come in, I thought it was an
Speaker 1: oppressive play because when when he came in, he had
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback actually attacked him with the very first
Speaker 1: play he went on deep ball on that side of
Speaker 1: the field. I'm like, wow, and how a where is
Speaker 1: the young quarterback that he knows that he out a
Speaker 1: new defensive back in the ball game and he's gonna
Speaker 1: take a shot right at him. That impressed the heck
Speaker 1: out of me as far as the mindset of a
Speaker 1: young quarterback. But you know, there's a lot that we
Speaker 1: don't know about with Playbrooks and Sydney Jones. I mean
Speaker 1: we've seen little glimpse of glimpses of them here and there,
Speaker 1: but we haven't seen them to where they've had to
Speaker 1: play through an entire game. And look, the Texans have
Speaker 1: a Will Fuller who is pretty fast now and uh
Speaker 1: and if you sleep just for a second, or you
Speaker 1: you make one misstep in your coverage on him, he's gone.
Speaker 1: When I say he's gone, he's by you and uh
Speaker 1: from watching the film of their game last week, he
Speaker 1: got behind defensive backs on a regular basis, and uh,
Speaker 1: he's he's a he is a one of the best
Speaker 1: I think in the league right now at getting vertical
Speaker 1: and he is their leading receiver right now with the
Speaker 1: absence of DeAndre Hopkins. And so I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a great test for a very young secondary in
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to go against Will Fuller and the rest
Speaker 1: of the wide receiving corps for them, you know, Cooks
Speaker 1: and Cobb and all these guys that they kind of
Speaker 1: acquired after they traded Hopkins. I mean, maybe this was
Speaker 1: another reason why Bill O'Brien was gone, because they've gotten
Speaker 1: pretty much next to nothing production wise compared to what
Speaker 1: they would have gotten with DeAndre Hopkins. Blogs. Let's continue
Speaker 1: our discussion about DeShawn Watson. He leads the league this
Speaker 1: year and in times. He's been sacked sixteen times this year,
Speaker 1: but that's kind of his m oh throughout his career.
Speaker 1: He holds the ball, he runs with it. Um. I
Speaker 1: think a couple of years ago he had what sixty
Speaker 1: eight sacks or something and led the league. So, you know,
Speaker 1: and Todd Washingtonday talked about the importance of keeping him
Speaker 1: as a pocket pastor not letting him get outside, and
Speaker 1: then that then you have to cover for longer, and
Speaker 1: he can make plays either down the field, through the
Speaker 1: air or with his legs in the running game. But
Speaker 1: with the pass rush in the state that it's in
Speaker 1: these days, can they go do that? Can they contain
Speaker 1: him in that pocket? It's the big question mark, JP.
Speaker 1: You're talking about four sacks in four games for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: legitimately one, I mean, I mean a couple of them.
Speaker 1: I mean the one that the two that Josh Allen have.
Speaker 1: I mean he should be very thankful for the ones
Speaker 1: that he have has. I mean, one of them was
Speaker 1: a bad decision by the quarterback. He should have thrown
Speaker 1: the ball away. And then the other one was essentially
Speaker 1: a bust of playing a scramble for zero yard. You know. So, uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's not been very good and and I don't
Speaker 1: expect it to change a whole lot. I think the
Speaker 1: Texans offensive line JP, even though the numbers as far
Speaker 1: as sacks on Deshaun Wahsington are pretty high, think it's
Speaker 1: tackles are pretty good and Obviously, they paid a lot
Speaker 1: of money for the left tackle. And when I say
Speaker 1: a lot of money, they paid him a lot of money.
Speaker 1: And they gave up a lot of draft capital for
Speaker 1: Larry Mtunsel, one of the reasons why I think that
Speaker 1: Bill Brian's gone. And on the other side, they have
Speaker 1: a a young man that they drafted, Tristan Worfs are
Speaker 1: not worse a uh what was his name? The right tackle?
Speaker 1: I got it here somewhere, Uh Titus Howard. Uh young
Speaker 1: player last year and and they actually looks pretty good
Speaker 1: to me watching him. He looks like he's improved. He's
Speaker 1: a big body guy, small school from college wise, you know.
Speaker 1: But Deshaun Watson holds the ball a lot. So the
Speaker 1: number of sacks I think that he can get can
Speaker 1: be very misleading as far as Okay, you sit there
Speaker 1: and you look at it and you go, oh, man,
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson has been sacked sixteen times. We should be
Speaker 1: able to get sacks and we should be able to
Speaker 1: get pressure on him. Uh, not so fast, Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: The reason he gets sacked a lot is not because
Speaker 1: of his offensive line in the protection. He gets sacked
Speaker 1: a lot because he holds the ball, and he holds
Speaker 1: the ball, and he hold the ball, and he holds
Speaker 1: the ball, and it gives people an opportunity to get
Speaker 1: to him. But he also does a crazy good job
Speaker 1: sometimes when he does hold that ball of making things
Speaker 1: happen down the field. That can be pretty scary. So
Speaker 1: even though he can hurt himself by thinking sacks, he
Speaker 1: can hurt you by holding onto the ball for that
Speaker 1: a little bit of a longer instant and finding a
Speaker 1: guy down the field. All right, quite a challenge this
Speaker 1: week for the Jaguars defense, trying to get back on
Speaker 1: track against a Texans team that's maybe geared up this
Speaker 1: week after an O and fourth starting the loss of
Speaker 1: their head coach. We'll come back in a moment. Tony

Speaker 1: the safety have to respect it. And things like that.
Speaker 1: Crossing routes or underneath routes get other guys open or
Speaker 1: have more favorable favorable matchups. So I think that absence
Speaker 1: is huge. But I feel like if we go into
Speaker 1: a game and we take out um James Robinson, you
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a similar situation to where the
Speaker 1: offenses are just bagging up and not respecting the run.
Speaker 1: Are you know, if gardeners not in people stacking the box,
Speaker 1: not respecting the past, or anytime you lose one of
Speaker 1: the main guys who take most of the reps, you
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be difficult. D J. Chark Jaguars wide
Speaker 1: receiver earlier this week and welcome back Jaguars Happy r J. P.
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Logaman getting ready for the Jags in
Speaker 1: the Texans this Sunday, and we had to Chicago, Illinois
Speaker 1: to welcome in Tony Basselli, who's getting ready for Thursday
Speaker 1: night football the Bears and the Buccaneers tonight. Tony, good
Speaker 1: to see you. By the way, the injury report is
Speaker 1: a do out here just a little bit officially for
Speaker 1: the Jags. Will get an update of that when it
Speaker 1: officially comes down from the Jaguars PR staff. Tony, what's
Speaker 1: up in Chicago? Actually, I ended up not I'm not
Speaker 1: doing the game. I ended up staying here. And I know,
Speaker 1: long story, it's a complex, interesting story that I'll tell
Speaker 1: you at a later date. But I'm I'm in Jacksonville home. Okay, Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: we're glad to have you here, Glad to have you here.
Speaker 1: No matter where you are, We're glad to have you
Speaker 1: here for sure. Let's actually, let's get to the Jaguars
Speaker 1: injury report. It's about to be officially sent down, but
Speaker 1: we have it here. How school was full today, that's
Speaker 1: good news. Lender was full today. Uh and then some
Speaker 1: other guys fulled. Tyler Shatley not injury related, he was back.
Speaker 1: Effort limited, A Quality limited, C J. Henderson limited today,
Speaker 1: Miles Jack limited, Cam Robinson limited. All those guys did
Speaker 1: not practice yesterday. Josh Allen did not practice for the
Speaker 1: second straight day. Guys coming off that knee issue last week,
Speaker 1: he came back in the game, has not practiced yet
Speaker 1: this week. And that's Tony certainly a little concerning for
Speaker 1: the Jags defense. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean he's
Speaker 1: your best pass rusher and that's talking about the team
Speaker 1: that really can affect the quarterback right now, and he
Speaker 1: has struggled to get the quarterback as well. But I mean,
Speaker 1: we know he has the town the ability to do
Speaker 1: it and to get hot and into really stress an
Speaker 1: offensive tackle. So I think you know, when you're one
Speaker 1: of three and you come off two losses the way
Speaker 1: you have, you know, backpack losses against um, the Dolphins
Speaker 1: and the Bengals, and the way the defense is playing,
Speaker 1: you need all hands on deck and best case scenario,
Speaker 1: I mean that long list of in uh that you
Speaker 1: just went through a lot of more defensive players that
Speaker 1: you need to count on, and you're going against the
Speaker 1: Houston team that you know and four, but they got
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can play pretty you know, he's not
Speaker 1: playing great this year, but he has the capabilities hurt
Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the past. We'll get back with Jeff
Speaker 1: coming up. But Tony, Yeah, when those guys went down
Speaker 1: on defense last week, there was a notable drop off.
Speaker 1: Certainly when Jack went out of the ball game, things
Speaker 1: kind of came unraveled there for this group. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: started going batter before that. I mean they gave him
Speaker 1: a couple of long drives and then Japere exactly right
Speaker 1: when Jack got heard. It was even worse, especially stopping
Speaker 1: the run. I think it was more past before that. Um,
Speaker 1: but Myles Jack left the game and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they were getting just gashed and you can see
Speaker 1: the run. Fits weren't very good to go to Watson
Speaker 1: was Rugland and uh they need I mean, he's your
Speaker 1: best player right now. I would argue that he's the
Speaker 1: best player on this football team the way he's been
Speaker 1: playing and at such a high level. So you definitely
Speaker 1: want to get Miles back out there. But we saw him,
Speaker 1: you know, hobbling noticeably on the sidelines during that game,
Speaker 1: and it will be interesting to see. Um if he's
Speaker 1: able to play. I doubt he'll be, but a lot
Speaker 1: of guys aren't this time of year, or at any
Speaker 1: point after you have one game, So it's a wait
Speaker 1: and see situation with him. But the bottom line is
Speaker 1: they have to play better. They have to play better
Speaker 1: on on both sides of the ball, but I think
Speaker 1: especially on defense. If they want to have a chance
Speaker 1: to win football games. Tony. We heard from Chart there
Speaker 1: at the start of the segment about and and basically
Speaker 1: question was they kind of missed you last week, but
Speaker 1: you made your your impact this past week against Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: When you return to the lineup with the two touchdowns
Speaker 1: and nearly a hundred yards, it's obvious when he's in there.
Speaker 1: It gives Jay Gruden so many more options to spread
Speaker 1: things out or they've got to cover deep, so maybe
Speaker 1: they bring an extra guy out of the box for
Speaker 1: the run game. If they're close to the game, they
Speaker 1: can go to that run game. But you gotta have
Speaker 1: all your weapons on offense. Chart see what Nault's situation
Speaker 1: is this week when they have all those guys out there,
Speaker 1: then Jake Gruden has his full assortment, his full arsenal
Speaker 1: if you will. And what was Nault's status on the
Speaker 1: injury report, JP, I can't remember what it was next
Speaker 1: to his name. Let's see here Chault limited yesterday and
Speaker 1: today with a hamstring. But that's a good sign that
Speaker 1: he's at least out there trying to do something. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll get to you know where they are, whether they're probable,
Speaker 1: question going you know everything else tomorrow but yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, here's here's breaking news for you. Um, it's
Speaker 1: better to have your really good players than not have them.
Speaker 1: He's your best receiver. You want them on the field
Speaker 1: and they need them. And again we talked about with
Speaker 1: the defense, and I mean the offense is playing better
Speaker 1: than the defense, but still your origin for air, it's
Speaker 1: very very small with this football team. I mean just
Speaker 1: think back to the game where you didn't have chart
Speaker 1: and we bemoaned the fact that there was a couple
Speaker 1: of big drops and that like somehow like two players
Speaker 1: changed the entire game early in that game. And when
Speaker 1: you're a good team and you're you know, an efficient team,
Speaker 1: you can overcome those And right now this team is
Speaker 1: not able to overcome those type of mistakes. And they
Speaker 1: really need to be playing on you know, at the
Speaker 1: highest level, hitting on all cylinders, uh for them to
Speaker 1: be effective. So I mean having Shark out there is critical.
Speaker 1: You need James Robinson, you need I think Cam Robinson
Speaker 1: is a big part of that, and it'll be interesting
Speaker 1: to see if he can play left tackle. They're a
Speaker 1: better team with him out there. And then obviously the
Speaker 1: play of Gardner Minshew, Jeff Lagman is apparently back with
Speaker 1: us now and on this well to be It's actually
Speaker 1: it's good to hear you guys, because before I was
Speaker 1: just scratchy. So I mean, you know, sometimes you guys
Speaker 1: are painful to listen to. But it was really painful
Speaker 1: there for a while. Wow. Thanks a lot, lugs. Appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I'm listening you guys on Monday night. And sometimes you
Speaker 1: guys you're painful, painful. You know, I agree that those
Speaker 1: two guys are painful. Yes, I agree. All right, So
Speaker 1: let's let's get the the left tackle play in this
Speaker 1: game coming up Sunday, Tony, how how good is Tounsil
Speaker 1: and Logs? How would you attack Tonsil? I mean you
Speaker 1: go first? How good is he? Yeah? I mean he's
Speaker 1: a good player. He's in the upper echelon of left
Speaker 1: tackles in the league. I don't think he's overly physical. Um,
Speaker 1: he's a good pass balker. He's a great, very good athlete.
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna be in the right position. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, he's the highest paid left tackle. Do I
Speaker 1: think he's the best left tackle all around game? I
Speaker 1: would say no. Um, but you know he's a guy
Speaker 1: that you know, you look at the last couple years
Speaker 1: when we played him, he did a great job against Gockway.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a guy you can count on as
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator to win one on one matchup. So
Speaker 1: he's the type of guy that you want um playing
Speaker 1: left tackle and he's a good player. He absolutely shut
Speaker 1: down in Gockway, uh the entire game. I mean Gockway.
Speaker 1: The only thing, the only the only sniff that in
Speaker 1: Gockway got of Deshaun Watson's deodor was when he would
Speaker 1: he would go up against Laramie Tounsil and then wait
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson to escate somewhere and then in Gockway
Speaker 1: would would pursue. And that's the only way that in
Speaker 1: Gockway got near HIMPS this past game against the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 1: by the way, and Tonsil is a is a great
Speaker 1: matchup for in Gockway. And the reason why Tony talked
Speaker 1: about that he's not real physical. I think the way
Speaker 1: that you have to pass rush Laramie Tounsil is you
Speaker 1: have to be physical, you have to power him, you
Speaker 1: have to bull rush him, and that's not his strong suit.
Speaker 1: He if he can sit back there and just be
Speaker 1: an athlete and catch you and not worry about your
Speaker 1: power and strength of driving him back into the lap
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. Then you know it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: tough day. And so he's a good football player. You know,
Speaker 1: through the Jaguars have anybody that can bring that level
Speaker 1: of power to him. I think that's the one part
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen and also Calavon Chezan's game that they
Speaker 1: need to ramp up. I think at times they're not.
Speaker 1: They're not being physical enough. When I say physical is
Speaker 1: pass rusher. You know, an Tony will tell you that
Speaker 1: one of the hardest guys in the world to block
Speaker 1: is a guy that's gonna bring power and he's got
Speaker 1: speed and he's got moved Guys that can be what
Speaker 1: I would term multiple because as an offensive tackle, they
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna do. And so I think
Speaker 1: that Josh and Kalman need to add that to the
Speaker 1: repertoire more consistently so that they can then have the
Speaker 1: other stuff be a little bit more successful with the
Speaker 1: speed and working the edges in the mood. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean to Jeff's point, he's exactly right. I mean I
Speaker 1: used to say, if if I didn't fear your power.
Speaker 1: If I didn't respect your power, you had zero chance
Speaker 1: of ever getting to the quarterback. There was no chance
Speaker 1: you were not going to beat me. And Jeff and
Speaker 1: I have had conversations and we joke around and I'm
Speaker 1: not and I love him go way, I'd love I
Speaker 1: wish you, you know, I wish it would have worked
Speaker 1: out here. But I told Jeff I I would have
Speaker 1: never I would not have been overly concerned with the
Speaker 1: Gockway as a pass rusher because he wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: able to power me. And uh Tunsil's a guy that
Speaker 1: is such a great athlete that if you don't bust
Speaker 1: them in the chops early, then you have no chance.
Speaker 1: Like you have to establish and put the some fear
Speaker 1: in him that you can put, you know, hit him
Speaker 1: in the mouth and push him back into the lap
Speaker 1: of the quarterback so that you at least he's thinking
Speaker 1: about it when he sets, and that he has a
Speaker 1: little bit of lean. He's gonna get his hands out there,
Speaker 1: because then as a rusher, you can chop the hands,
Speaker 1: you can get the edge, and you can set things up.
Speaker 1: But outside of you know, outside of the fear of power,
Speaker 1: A good offensive tackle you're not gonna threaten now an
Speaker 1: average or a bad offensive tackle you can beat all
Speaker 1: day with speed. Um, you know, speed is gonna you
Speaker 1: will kill those guys because they're not great athletes. You
Speaker 1: can get the edge. And I'll go back to, you know,
Speaker 1: playing a guy like Derrick Thomas, Hall of Famer, great player,
Speaker 1: fast as you can believe. And if you played him
Speaker 1: at home in casey with the sound, Um, it was
Speaker 1: really difficult. But because I was not afraid of his power,
Speaker 1: I could sit deep and wait for him and just
Speaker 1: catch them. And it was I'm not saying I'm not
Speaker 1: and it will never say it was easy because he
Speaker 1: was such a great player. But um, there were guys
Speaker 1: that were lesser known names. And Jeff you talked about
Speaker 1: one last week, I think, and Michael McCreary. Michael McCrery
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens back in the day. You know,
Speaker 1: did was not the athlete, did not have the ability
Speaker 1: from a speed standpoint of it, Derrick Thomas, but he
Speaker 1: would threaten you with power enough that you had to
Speaker 1: respect it because he'd run you over if you didn't. Um,
Speaker 1: that made it very difficult to block. Yeah, and and
Speaker 1: and Tony is talking about JP for for a lot
Speaker 1: of people out there, they might have a hard time
Speaker 1: trying to understand what we're talking about, because you know,
Speaker 1: we're saying, oh, hit him in the mouth early as
Speaker 1: a as a pass rusher, and Tony alluded to a
Speaker 1: little bit of this as a pass rusher, when you
Speaker 1: show that you can be physical and you can power
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle, it's so funny. And that offensive lineman
Speaker 1: in defensive lineman two for that matter, everybody that plays football,
Speaker 1: there's this thing about you don't want to be overpower.
Speaker 1: And as an offensive lineman, sometimes you can get pushed
Speaker 1: back to the quarterback and it's okay because you're making
Speaker 1: it so much longer for the defensive end to even
Speaker 1: have an impact on the quarterback. But the mindset of
Speaker 1: football players are, I can't be pushed around. And so
Speaker 1: when an offensive lineman gets pushed around, their next reaction
Speaker 1: is when you're approaching them, they lean forward. Like Tony
Speaker 1: talked about, they sit down a little bit to get
Speaker 1: ready for power, and they show their hands a little
Speaker 1: bit sooner and in some cases show all the way
Speaker 1: because they're anticipating that power. Well, when they sit and
Speaker 1: they lean forward. Now all of a sudden, when them
Speaker 1: hands come out, you knock the hands and then you
Speaker 1: go around the guy or or you can you know,
Speaker 1: fake the power and then a little little chop swim.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many different things that get set
Speaker 1: up off of power. And you know, I was never
Speaker 1: a great pass rusher, but the one of the things
Speaker 1: that I always did, and from watching some of the
Speaker 1: great ones do it was that if you established power
Speaker 1: early in the ball game, a lot of things were
Speaker 1: able to follow suit. And uh and right now, I
Speaker 1: think the Jaguars, the edge pass rushers, I would like
Speaker 1: to see them try to establish a little bit more
Speaker 1: physical element early in the ball game and then let
Speaker 1: the other things kind of fall into plate. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to JP. Let me add on that. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell two stories that Jeff I appreciate. Is he's so right.
Speaker 1: It's about it's mentality as an offensive tackle. It's not
Speaker 1: just getting run over and getting get out of sack.
Speaker 1: It's the barrassment of getting pushed into the lap of
Speaker 1: the quarterback and that's in your mind. And two things
Speaker 1: of quick stories. I remember the first time we started practicing,
Speaker 1: and I was a rookie and Logs was a big
Speaker 1: free agent and we were no pad and he couldn't
Speaker 1: He couldn't have beat me and no pads if his
Speaker 1: life depended on it. I mean, I was like, man,
Speaker 1: this is a high price Freegan. I got it pretty good.
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget the first day we had the
Speaker 1: pads on and I'm out there, I'm feeling pretty good.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I've been blocking this guy the whole time
Speaker 1: with no pads on, and we're doing one on one
Speaker 1: pass rush, and he came off and busted me in
Speaker 1: the mouth and just drove me back into the lap
Speaker 1: of the quarterback and one on one pass rush, and
Speaker 1: I was like, what the heck was that? And the
Speaker 1: rest of the time he was more difficult to block
Speaker 1: in practice because now I respected this power and and
Speaker 1: it made it more difficult. And the same thing. I remember,
Speaker 1: I played against the late Chris Doleman, who's a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer, and he powered me early and for a
Speaker 1: quarter of that football game, I was so worried about
Speaker 1: the power. He didn't get a sack, but I was
Speaker 1: all over the place and just like fighting for my
Speaker 1: life to keep him up the quarterback. And I finally
Speaker 1: told myself, I don't care if he runs me over.
Speaker 1: It does not matter to me. He can try to
Speaker 1: run me over all he wants, and from that point
Speaker 1: on I had no problem blocking him. And the message
Speaker 1: there is for young pass rushers is put the fear.
Speaker 1: Just let them know, let them feel your power, because
Speaker 1: it will change the rest of the game of how
Speaker 1: that tackle approaches approaches you as a as a rusher.
Speaker 1: Great stuff. Let's come back in a moment, guys and
Speaker 1: get into the Titans situation and we'll preview Thursday Night
Speaker 1: football as well. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the

Speaker 1: back to final moments of jaguar Is Happy Hour, The
Speaker 1: Doug Morone Show coming up at the top of the
Speaker 1: hour in about seven minutes from now, JP Shadrick, Jeff Lagman,
Speaker 1: and Tony Basselli. Let's take a look around the league,
Speaker 1: and obviously the biggest story in the league this week
Speaker 1: is the Tennessee Titans situation with COVID nineteen more positives
Speaker 1: as the days go along here, so their building is
Speaker 1: not open. The game this week is in jeopardy. Could
Speaker 1: this game be moved as a question? Will there be
Speaker 1: a week eighteen? Could there be a forfeit if they
Speaker 1: determined they broke protocol. There's numerous stories now that the
Speaker 1: Titans not only had one practice off site when they
Speaker 1: weren't supposed to, but maybe numerous practices off site. And
Speaker 1: it's now a watch and wait and see what happens
Speaker 1: from Park Avenue in New York, Tony. Yeah, it's um.
Speaker 1: I mean I would be shocked if they played football
Speaker 1: this week. I mean, you have they are positives test today. Um.
Speaker 1: And so if you're not gonna open the facilities, you
Speaker 1: play Sunday. I mean how that it's almost two weeks
Speaker 1: you've been out of the building. So Um, the NFL
Speaker 1: is gonna have a scheduling issue and they're gonna to
Speaker 1: figure out what to do and where they put these games.
Speaker 1: I mean, they can fix the one in the bye
Speaker 1: week right now. I I think they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: extend the season. Um as we go on push back
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you know, push back the uh you know,
Speaker 1: either pushing get rid of the Pro Bowl, and you
Speaker 1: know you had a week there, maybe push the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl back, but you're gonna see a change because or
Speaker 1: you're gonna condense the schedule, um, based on how many
Speaker 1: games you end up playing, because there's no way you're
Speaker 1: gonna get it through it all. And I think the
Speaker 1: Patriots similar a similar situation because you're having positive stuffs there.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're opened up for business yet. And
Speaker 1: I believe they do have a game this weekend, so
Speaker 1: a lot going on there. As far as the Titans
Speaker 1: in in breaking protocol, I think it's pretty clear they did. Um.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of video evidence out there that they
Speaker 1: were practicing. UM. How the NFL comes down, I don't
Speaker 1: think they're gonna come down as hard as the new
Speaker 1: regulations say, because those kind of came out after all
Speaker 1: this surface UM. But I wouldn't see be surprised if
Speaker 1: you see large finds maybe losing a traffick. Um. But
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll go the forfeiture route at this point.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean you might, you might not
Speaker 1: have a choice about forfeiture. I mean not to me.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is only what four games in and
Speaker 1: the Patriots already have or excuse me, the Titans have
Speaker 1: a second game that's threatened going into Week five, you know, so, uh,
Speaker 1: you may not have a choice, you know. And an Tonia.
Speaker 1: First of all, the Pro Bowl. You can get rid
Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl altogether. Yeah, I mean, nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: go to the Pro Bowl. It's a it's a total
Speaker 1: waste anyway, you know, So get rid of the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl because it doesn't matter. And uh, and take the
Speaker 1: time that you need if you can play every game
Speaker 1: that is in the league. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: going to happen, but and I know there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things being talked about about expanding the season to
Speaker 1: eighteen weeks. Look here, here's the reality. If you need
Speaker 1: to expand it to twenty, then you go to twenty.
Speaker 1: I mean that that may be what is necessary, and uh,
Speaker 1: and it's asking a lot. But at the same token,
Speaker 1: you're trying to perform in some pretty tough circumstances this year.
Speaker 1: And I would expect that the Tennessee Titans. I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a pretty significant fine. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be draft picks. I think they're gonna try to
Speaker 1: find a way not to have a forfeiture. But boy,
Speaker 1: that that doesn't reflect very well. And Mike Rabel and
Speaker 1: what they're doing in Tennessee as far as violating all
Speaker 1: these protocols not very smart. Yeah, the other argument is that,
Speaker 1: you know, why should the rest of the league had
Speaker 1: to adjust when all those protocols are broken? If that
Speaker 1: are proven to be the case, why they are having
Speaker 1: all these positives? He always followed the money JP And
Speaker 1: if and if all of a sudden you have to
Speaker 1: have forfeiture of games, guess what, that's one less game
Speaker 1: on television. And so if you're uh, CBS or box
Speaker 1: or ESPN, and if you're getting one less game, well,
Speaker 1: how does that make you feel? Look, we're in this
Speaker 1: to make money. I mean we're we're supposed to have
Speaker 1: you know, X number of games, and if we don't
Speaker 1: have X number of games, guess what, you know, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a percentage decrease in what we pay you
Speaker 1: because we have less products. So, I mean, the NFL
Speaker 1: will probably try to play every game that they can,
Speaker 1: might just have to end up, you know, stretching the
Speaker 1: season out a little bit longer. And if it takes
Speaker 1: twenty weeks. I mean, it takes twenty weeks, so be it. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll go back to even you know, you look at
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I'm actually shocked they played on Saturday Monday night,
Speaker 1: knowing that Cam it been around a number of players
Speaker 1: that I mean, they were aware enough to separate the
Speaker 1: people who have been close to them into a separate plane.
Speaker 1: And and now you have Stephan Gilmore coming back positive, um,
Speaker 1: and so I think there's real threat that they don't
Speaker 1: play this week as well. So you start getting these
Speaker 1: things piling up on you a little bit, Um, And
Speaker 1: I'm with Jeff, I think you're just gonna have to
Speaker 1: expand the season. You do whatever it takes. Um. Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick said it today. The player's safety comes first, making
Speaker 1: sure everyone's healthy. Obviously. I think that has to be
Speaker 1: the you know, your philosophy moving forward as the league,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what it will be. Um. I
Speaker 1: just don't see. I don't see a way you get
Speaker 1: all these games in under seventeen weeks. Alright, guys, quickly,
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football, Tom Brady and the Bucks visit Satan,
Speaker 1: Nick Foles and the Bears. Who you got tonight, Tody,
Speaker 1: I got the I mean, the Bears can't score points,
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady just it's coming on five football games.
Speaker 1: That offense is getting going. Um, they're gonna be without
Speaker 1: Chris would win again, but they were with at him
Speaker 1: last week and scored all those points. The Bears are
Speaker 1: just awful. I mean just awful on offense. I mean
Speaker 1: what they did against the Colts. And I know the
Speaker 1: culture of the number one defense in the league, but
Speaker 1: my goodness, um Tampa is pretty good at defense as well.
Speaker 1: So I think the Buccaneers win this football game. You
Speaker 1: got lives quick, real quick. I'm taking the Bucks. And
Speaker 1: and if Foles was in relief as a backup quarterback,
Speaker 1: then I would have picked the Bears. But I mean
Speaker 1: that's what he is. He's a backup. I mean, who
Speaker 1: are we? Full wellogs. Thank you very much. We'll see
Speaker 1: you in a second, Tony. We'll talk to you this weekend,
Speaker 1: all right, tell coach I said, hello, We'll do it.
Speaker 1: Tony Boselli is out of here. The dug Brons show
Speaker 1: coming up next. Thank you for watching and listening to
