Speaker 1: of the game seventies seven yards. Brett Taylory erupts and
Speaker 1: Shall tells it is Wednesday, September eight. This is Jaguar's
Speaker 1: Happy Hour, Jaguars Happy Hours, brought to you by the
Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group. And now, if it weren't for Jimmy Luck,
Speaker 1: he had no luck at all. J Pea, speaking of,
Speaker 1: we'll see Jimmy Luck in this show today for the
Speaker 1: Uniform and Bailey. Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour presented by
Speaker 1: the Field's Auto Group, J P. Shadwick, John Osier and
Speaker 1: we're starting the show today with our special guests. I
Speaker 1: like this the start of the show with Chris Conley,
Speaker 1: our co host, reaching over the year. What's up, Churs,
Speaker 1: you do here? Hold on your Mica? Is not on
Speaker 1: your MICA's okay, Well we'll get back pull your Micael.
Speaker 1: Good to see it, Chris, what's up. It's good to
Speaker 1: be here today, and UM proud to be joined by
Speaker 1: one of my stellar teammates in d J. Hayden. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: what's up? Gonna be a great show today, Yes, show,
Speaker 1: I agree, and you know it's gonna be a great
Speaker 1: week Thursday night football, prime time. I gotta ask, let's
Speaker 1: get the elephant in the room out of the way,
Speaker 1: all the jail and noise and everything going on. How
Speaker 1: do you guys put that aside as a football team,
Speaker 1: Chris DJ and move forward and get ready to rally
Speaker 1: for this game on Thursday night? How does it affect
Speaker 1: you guys? You know it's it's a little bit, uh.
Speaker 1: I imagine it's a different answer for me being on
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball and game planning and knowing
Speaker 1: that there's a sense of urgency coming for Thursday night game,
Speaker 1: It's not as difficult for us to block out of
Speaker 1: that that noise and and everything that's going on. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, we we just know that on a primetime
Speaker 1: game a short week, you got to develop a game plan,
Speaker 1: you got to go out and score against the division opponent,
Speaker 1: and so when those things come up, you know, there's
Speaker 1: it's easier to block out the noise. Is it must
Speaker 1: be difficult for guys on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: And I imagine, am I right? D A little bit
Speaker 1: more a little bit more difficult for us, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? At the end of the day. A
Speaker 1: distraction is distraction, and you always just gotta ignore it,
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, how big it is, because
Speaker 1: you don't want stuff like that to affect your game. Now,
Speaker 1: with the whole request thing with Jalen, I mean, for me,
Speaker 1: I think it sucks because you're probably losing, possibly losing
Speaker 1: like the best corner in the league, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And he didn't want this that I'm communicating
Speaker 1: with it every day and uh, but you know, stuff
Speaker 1: like this is out of my control. So but I
Speaker 1: feel confident in whoever is in there. So whether it's Jalen,
Speaker 1: whether this trade, where this briann a j no matter who. Like,
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable in our guys here that they can
Speaker 1: step up and get the job done. It's sort of
Speaker 1: a tough line, right because you want him and you
Speaker 1: know that he makes you better. At the same time,
Speaker 1: you got us know it's a business, and you know
Speaker 1: every all players have their own situation they have to
Speaker 1: deal with, right, So you're sort of balancing that concept. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just just a good balance and then just prepare, Just prepare,
Speaker 1: like I gotta prepare, like I'm gonna play corner. Like me,
Speaker 1: I just gotta know everything. I even gotta know safety
Speaker 1: just in case something happens. So, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: with this business man, you never know, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: be prepared for anything and everything that happened. Is it
Speaker 1: a case, Chris, where if you've been in the league
Speaker 1: long enough, you know you're gonna see weird things and
Speaker 1: just have to know you have to keep preparing the longer.
Speaker 1: The longer you play in this league, the more things
Speaker 1: come unexpectedly during your season that you weren't prepared for. Uh,
Speaker 1: that you have to adjust on the fly, and that
Speaker 1: you have to make work. You know, we're professional football players.
Speaker 1: No one's gonna feel sorry for us out there on
Speaker 1: the field on Thursday, and so we our job is
Speaker 1: to prepare, regardless of what happens between now and then,
Speaker 1: to win a game, which Ville and whoever we have
Speaker 1: out there. That's the reason that we practice with those guys,
Speaker 1: and that's the reason that DJ and the rest of
Speaker 1: the corners in his room are prepared to fill the void.
Speaker 1: Big division game coming up. Um, you gotta have this
Speaker 1: game right. That's kind of the feel around here. That's
Speaker 1: you know. Oh, and to record going into a division
Speaker 1: game home Thursday Night football. It's time to circle the wagons.
Speaker 1: Here's a football team and just go forward right exactly.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't can't look backwards at this point.
Speaker 1: What's done is done. And with these division opponents, you know,
Speaker 1: if you have any aspirations that making get into the postseason,
Speaker 1: then the division is is what you have to focus on.
Speaker 1: These games are paramount for us. Each of the situations,
Speaker 1: every single third down offense, defense, the fourth downs on
Speaker 1: special teams. Those plays matter so much more in these
Speaker 1: games and then than just every game that you play
Speaker 1: every week, because these are the opponents that you're gonna
Speaker 1: see twice a year. These game plan plays that you
Speaker 1: have going in or plays that could come up and
Speaker 1: resurface again later in the year, and they matter. They
Speaker 1: matter so much because it it all all the seating
Speaker 1: going into late in the year. It gets determined right now.
Speaker 1: We Yeah, we saw a great defensive effort by this
Speaker 1: group last week in Houston, and that involved you blitzing
Speaker 1: a good bit in that game. A few times you
Speaker 1: got in on it for a sack, but from the
Speaker 1: defensive line all the way back to the secondary, that
Speaker 1: was what this defense is right getting to the quarterback
Speaker 1: making plays you'd like to take the ball away a
Speaker 1: little bit. Obviously that hasn't happened yet this year. But defensively,
Speaker 1: this is kind of more what you guys feel you're
Speaker 1: gonna look like the rest of the year, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like, uh, this past game, we played a
Speaker 1: lot better game than we did the first week. And uh,
Speaker 1: I mean we we we tackle well, were sticky on
Speaker 1: sticky coverage, and they didn't get a lot of yards
Speaker 1: on us. But at the end of the day, even
Speaker 1: with us playing decent, I feel like we played decent,
Speaker 1: we still gotta play better because we still left some
Speaker 1: players out there, and uh, I mean we could just
Speaker 1: I mean, it's only week two and I feel like
Speaker 1: this defense gonna get better and better each week, but
Speaker 1: we just gotta apply it and use it on the field.
Speaker 1: I'm curious from both of you, Um, not all, not
Speaker 1: all losses are created equal, especially during the season. And
Speaker 1: it seemed like in that game the other day that
Speaker 1: from the end of the first quarter on the team
Speaker 1: guy progressively better, and it seemed like for the last
Speaker 1: three quarters you really outplayed those guys and probably should
Speaker 1: have won the game if you had your hands on
Speaker 1: a couple of turnovers, had some opportunities. Um with the
Speaker 1: way Gardner played, combined with the way the entire offense,
Speaker 1: but combined with the way the defense really stuck it
Speaker 1: in the second half. Was there a better feeling coming
Speaker 1: out of that game than there was maybe in the
Speaker 1: first half. Was there a confidence spelt from it? Um?
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like it was a confidence
Speaker 1: boost because we was like we was. I think at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the the second half it was like
Speaker 1: six to three. So I feel like as a defense
Speaker 1: like we was, We was like on their necks and
Speaker 1: we was ready to come out there and play and
Speaker 1: we was prepared for anything. Um, we just we just
Speaker 1: gotta finish. But as a whole team, did the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter performance two drives in the last eight minutes of
Speaker 1: the game ten points? Uh? How much of a boost
Speaker 1: and how much more confidence is there on what you
Speaker 1: guys are doing now then coming out of Kansasay? You know,
Speaker 1: before I answer that question, the first thing that we
Speaker 1: have to lay down is there are no moral victories
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And although you can build confidence and
Speaker 1: you can feel like you're growing and getting better, a
Speaker 1: loss is still a loss, and it still stings, and
Speaker 1: these guys we came in and we watched the film
Speaker 1: and you know, that was the first thing that we
Speaker 1: had to say to ourselves is we came close, but
Speaker 1: that close is not good enough. You know, the defense
Speaker 1: did a stellar job of putting us in an opportunity
Speaker 1: in a position to win that game. We as an
Speaker 1: offense have to step up and we have to do that.
Speaker 1: And so um, we know that the way that we
Speaker 1: finished that game, the speed and the tempo and the
Speaker 1: ability to strike that the offense showed at the end
Speaker 1: of that game is something that we're capable of. We
Speaker 1: just need to do that earlier on in the game.
Speaker 1: And we have the confidence that we can get there
Speaker 1: and that we can do that. That this team as
Speaker 1: a whole, with the d and is playing like that,
Speaker 1: with the offense going down, creating problems and scoring in
Speaker 1: our special teams, being one of the fastest moving teams
Speaker 1: in the league, we have the opportunity to win these games.
Speaker 1: We just got to do it. Tell me about Gardner
Speaker 1: in the huddle. The a lot more than Gardner, but
Speaker 1: he's the rookie quarterback that you're looking at every play,
Speaker 1: I'm sure and thinking Okay, what's this guy made up here?
Speaker 1: Tough situation on Sunday? Uh, tell me about him in huddle.
Speaker 1: Those last two drives, you know, the last two drives
Speaker 1: were a little bit of everything that we were warning
Speaker 1: him was going to happen that week. It was extremely loud,
Speaker 1: the defense is ramping up the pressure. Uh. He had
Speaker 1: to break the pocket and make some plays with his
Speaker 1: legs and someplace fell apart. And when plays fall apart
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, you have to be ready to
Speaker 1: keep your eyes downfield and just make something happen. The
Speaker 1: touchdown to d J. Chark is a perfect example of
Speaker 1: that play falling apart, him using his legs and making
Speaker 1: something happen at the second half of the play. And
Speaker 1: so those were all things that we have been talking
Speaker 1: to him about this week and saying, hey, we don't
Speaker 1: know when these things are gonna happen, but they will
Speaker 1: happen in a division game on the road, and I
Speaker 1: think he handled it well. We just need to be
Speaker 1: able to put him in more comfortable positions that he
Speaker 1: can do more of that. Chris Conley, d J. Hayden
Speaker 1: that what else you got for your guests today? Chris? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just some some Let's let's talk about you.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about d J Hayden. D d J Hayden. Okay,
Speaker 1: he perked up a little bit when I said that.
Speaker 1: He said, let's talk about you. But that's what I
Speaker 1: want to talk about that. You know, what is what
Speaker 1: is it like going from a guy who starts his
Speaker 1: college career in Juco, going from a college career starting
Speaker 1: in Juco to Houston to then being twelfth overall pick
Speaker 1: in the NFL draft? And what is that like that?
Speaker 1: The grind of really starting from the bottom and then
Speaker 1: grinding to the top like that. Oh man, it was
Speaker 1: a real grind. Like it was crazy because before that,
Speaker 1: before junior college, in high school, I didn't even play
Speaker 1: like my senior year in college because I had like
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of credit issues. I had to graduate late.
Speaker 1: So I basically went to like the thirteenth grade, believing
Speaker 1: or not. So I went to a prep school. Then
Speaker 1: I went to junior college, and then out of junior college,
Speaker 1: like junior college is it's like it's big football, but
Speaker 1: like you don't have like all the um you don't
Speaker 1: have all the perkses like the big schools and stuff.
Speaker 1: And it's really a grind, like it's boring. It's easy
Speaker 1: to get into trouble because it's guys are like boring
Speaker 1: and stuff all the time. And it's a real ground,
Speaker 1: like got to graduate, like I graduated early, end up
Speaker 1: going to Houston UH in January and December, and it's
Speaker 1: a real tough ground. It really challenged you mentally because
Speaker 1: you see all these guys, Like we had guys in
Speaker 1: my junior college who was good enough to play in
Speaker 1: the NFL, but they had got in trouble or they
Speaker 1: just was like, man, I'm just like kind of over this,
Speaker 1: or they just wasn't scared. I mean, they was too
Speaker 1: scared to step up the competition. So I think I'm
Speaker 1: the only person from my junior college to make it
Speaker 1: to the NFL. But we had a team full of talent,
Speaker 1: but a lot of guys fell off kind of trouble.
Speaker 1: But you just have to keep your head on straight
Speaker 1: and just keep grinding and keep going forward. So why
Speaker 1: are you not the others? Why me? Because my ground
Speaker 1: was unreal? There we go. You know, I just man
Speaker 1: to be honest, like I don't know why it is me,
Speaker 1: but I just kept my I just I just grinded.
Speaker 1: I took care of my business, Like whenever I had
Speaker 1: to do something like, I wasn't always the best doing it,
Speaker 1: but I got the job done, you know. And I
Speaker 1: kind of did that on the field too. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: probably I'll try to be the perfect technique, but sometimes
Speaker 1: it might get out of way. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I'm gonna get my job done. And
Speaker 1: and that's just that speaks a lot about your character personally,
Speaker 1: because you know that many many of us other guys
Speaker 1: had a much easier path into college and and playing
Speaker 1: their college sports and then getting draft. No path is
Speaker 1: easy to the NFL, but much different than yours. How
Speaker 1: has that adversity so early, so early in your career
Speaker 1: as a football player and as a man, prepared you
Speaker 1: for situations even like this week with all the adversity
Speaker 1: that's going on, you know, swirling this building and blocking
Speaker 1: all of that out and preparing for a Thursday night
Speaker 1: primetime game. Me and me personally, I always like to
Speaker 1: just prepare for the worst, Like I always prepare for
Speaker 1: the worst. Like if I feel like some investities coming,
Speaker 1: I just feel like, all right, let's what's the worst
Speaker 1: thing that can happen, and I'm like, all right, that
Speaker 1: didn't happen, but you know I can still adjust accordingly,
Speaker 1: and um I kind of just that's just been me
Speaker 1: my whole life. Like you know, stuff always don't happen
Speaker 1: you away, you know, and sometimes you might have to
Speaker 1: take it ill on something, but you learn from it.
Speaker 1: You take what you need to get better, to better yourself,
Speaker 1: to better somebody else, if if that's the situation, and
Speaker 1: then you just apply it. I love it, man, Well
Speaker 1: done aspiring. I know I want to go run some
Speaker 1: laps right now. This is awesome. Not really not over
Speaker 1: selling it a little bit, all right, guys, Good luck

Speaker 1: We'll have our players to watch tonight a little later.
Speaker 1: That's something to stay tuned in for. It's always it's
Speaker 1: always must see TV. This was great stuff today with
Speaker 1: Chris coming in always each week, but boy, the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball has a lot spinning around them
Speaker 1: this week, and even in the locker room, it's not
Speaker 1: like they're giving you a lot in there right about.
Speaker 1: They're all kind of moving forward to Tennessee and trying
Speaker 1: to kind of say that. I think that was, um
Speaker 1: one of the most uh, one of the best answers
Speaker 1: I think we've had on the whole jail and situation.
Speaker 1: From DJ. He's a guy that's in the room with him, UM,
Speaker 1: that wants him on defense. He understands the business. But
Speaker 1: it was a very personal answer I thought from DJ. There, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean in their perspective, players understand that on on
Speaker 1: some level or on a very real level, they are
Speaker 1: all independent contractors in this game, playing a game where
Speaker 1: careers can end fast within a week if if things
Speaker 1: go really right, uh, and most of them are fighting
Speaker 1: to stay in the league each year. So they understand
Speaker 1: that all guys have different situations that they're dealing with,
Speaker 1: and they understand that perhaps Jalen has a reason for
Speaker 1: wanting not to be here at the same time they
Speaker 1: want to win. They've grown close to Jaalen, so they
Speaker 1: also understand that you don't want to not be without him.
Speaker 1: So it's uh, they get it, and I'm I'm sure
Speaker 1: it is a some polarizing emotions for him, if you will,
Speaker 1: so uh, at the end of the day, as they
Speaker 1: all say, it's a business and they all get that
Speaker 1: on a very real level, but the emotions of it
Speaker 1: have to be difficult. Now, we heard from Doug Moron
Speaker 1: after practice today and he and Jalen have talked. That's
Speaker 1: really the update there. And Jalen is going to play
Speaker 1: tomorrow night in this football game. And that's that's the
Speaker 1: interesting part. To make sure I've heard nothing either either
Speaker 1: publicly or uh you know from reading between the lines
Speaker 1: that indicates he won't play. Um And and one reason is,
Speaker 1: you know, if if you you don't know if you're
Speaker 1: gonna be a trade m or not. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of reasons why a trade is going to be
Speaker 1: very very difficult, starting with money, starting whether teams want
Speaker 1: to bring this in where they can afford to bring
Speaker 1: it in, whether they are a team that you want
Speaker 1: to trade with. A lot of teams, if you look
Speaker 1: at the different obstacles, UH won't be able to jump
Speaker 1: over every hurdle. So there's a small number of teams,
Speaker 1: and then is it really what the Jaguars when you
Speaker 1: give up? So all these things stand in the way.
Speaker 1: So if that's the case, if you're not sure you're
Speaker 1: gonna be able to trade him, then you have to
Speaker 1: figure out how to have him on the field for
Speaker 1: you so that he's helping you. And Uh, the one
Speaker 1: thing about Jalen is when he's on the field, I
Speaker 1: think you rest assured that he's not going to intentionally
Speaker 1: try to hurt you with his play. He's going to
Speaker 1: play at his highest level that he possibly can. So
Speaker 1: you're I'm pretty sure that he plays. Money's gonna play well.
Speaker 1: I think he motivated. Jalen Ramsey's gonna help the team.
Speaker 1: He's out there on the corner. The risk is if
Speaker 1: you're trying to trade him and he goes out and
Speaker 1: gets hurt, that's a risk. But I I do expect
Speaker 1: him to play. And it's hard to even analyze the
Speaker 1: JP because when you analyze things you sort of try
Speaker 1: to jump back on what you've seen before. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen this that often before, so it's a weird dynamic. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I don't know that they are necessarily precedents or
Speaker 1: right answers that you know we're right. You've sort of
Speaker 1: got to say this is what we're gonna do, this
Speaker 1: is what we think is the best option, and see
Speaker 1: how it goes. He's on the football team. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: as of right now he's on the football team. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the football team. It sounds like,
Speaker 1: so go forward like he's on the football team. That's
Speaker 1: all you can really do. And by the way, it
Speaker 1: clears something up. I've got a lot of emails. The
Speaker 1: press conference was weird, obviously, I Jalen's press conference. I
Speaker 1: don't want to say it was the weirdest I've ever
Speaker 1: been involved with because I've seen some things right now, Um,
Speaker 1: so I don't know where to rank it on weird,
Speaker 1: but it was definitely weird because Jalen clear wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: say anything, and it was weird, and he used some
Speaker 1: language he shouldn't have, So it was a little odd,
Speaker 1: but it was I've got an questions why did the
Speaker 1: Jaguars put him out there? Well, players in the NFL
Speaker 1: talk once a week. By league rule, players have made
Speaker 1: available to the media once a week during the week
Speaker 1: and then after the games. All players he was going
Speaker 1: to talk at some point it was either have him
Speaker 1: on the podium or have him in front of his locker.
Speaker 1: One way there he was going to talk. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like they said, hey, let's have a press conference. It
Speaker 1: wasn't that there was no brain trust saying we need
Speaker 1: a press conference to put him out there. This was
Speaker 1: his regular availability that he always does, so that I
Speaker 1: think was a little misunderstood. He was saying another bad
Speaker 1: decision by It wasn't that this was his normal time
Speaker 1: to talk. He was going to talk at some point
Speaker 1: and he did that. So just alt to clear that
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Thank you. Where to go put
Speaker 1: a period. By the way, there's a football game Thursday
Speaker 1: night too. And the team on the other sideline, well,
Speaker 1: they've they've had the Jaguars number over the last few years.
Speaker 1: They've won to the last seven against this team, including
Speaker 1: four in a row. And we know what happened last
Speaker 1: year in the final meeting between these teams when Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry went off a nine nine yard touchdown run that's
Speaker 1: been run over and over and over and over and
Speaker 1: over again in the NFL networking at will be and
Speaker 1: it should be. It's a fantastic play for the Titans,
Speaker 1: not for the Jaguars. So here they come again, the
Speaker 1: Titans at one and one. Marcus Mariota is the quarterback.
Speaker 1: They he hasn't turned the ball over. They've got the
Speaker 1: running game still on offense, They've got a defense with
Speaker 1: names that you know on there, and they're a team
Speaker 1: that just has has the good matchup against the Jags.
Speaker 1: It seems like all the time Yea was gonna win
Speaker 1: the game. By the way you're calling it, is that
Speaker 1: a lock? It's a lot. You're locking it, fine, I'll
Speaker 1: lock it. It's a lock. So, because the NFL is
Speaker 1: a weird league, this is the game where everything you
Speaker 1: would point to would say, how in the world could
Speaker 1: they possibly win this game? Well, it's going on. It's
Speaker 1: a half to four him. If they don't win this,
Speaker 1: they're in a lot of trouble. And I could say
Speaker 1: the season is over. But but you fall down oh
Speaker 1: and three at some point, even if you think you're
Speaker 1: close or or have a chance, you've got to start
Speaker 1: winning some games. Um, they have a chance. If they
Speaker 1: win this, the schedule really opens up for him. I
Speaker 1: think there's a small awareness of that, but I think
Speaker 1: for the most part, what it is is. NFL teams
Speaker 1: typically don't get distracted, uh until the season is basically
Speaker 1: over and there stops being a reason to play together.
Speaker 1: When they start playing for themselves at the end of
Speaker 1: the season and start trying to put stuff on tape,
Speaker 1: trying to do too much. Know the season's over, that's
Speaker 1: usually when distractions come in. These players aren't distracted that
Speaker 1: much because, yes, they're talking about Jalen. I'm sure amongst
Speaker 1: themselves they're still going to me. He's still preparing there.
Speaker 1: It's not like these people are sitting at home at
Speaker 1: night JP the players going, oh my goodness, I can't cope.
Speaker 1: They're fine. They will go and they'll be professional, and
Speaker 1: I think they'll play well. I think they'll win well.
Speaker 1: I can I can't. It's an overblown thing, the distraction thing.
Speaker 1: Teams usually fall apart at the end. This team still
Speaker 1: has a lot to play for. They won't fall apart tomorrow. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a lock. It's a John Ozier lock. I'm a
Speaker 1: lot of whack day there is j Thing's got me
Speaker 1: all disheveled, and I think it's it's a weird. Yes,
Speaker 1: it does. I think you the vibe around the building,
Speaker 1: especially yesterday, it was just a little strange with every
Speaker 1: all little tension, and he didn't know Jealen was if
Speaker 1: he was gonna talk, if he was gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: had no idea early in the morning. And then as
Speaker 1: the day went along, it all kind of developed, and
Speaker 1: then they had the regular press conference time for Jalen
Speaker 1: and all that and practice and everything. First, locker room
Speaker 1: was a little weird when it was open for the
Speaker 1: first time. There weren't many guys in there. But um,
Speaker 1: now today it seemed like it's a little back closer
Speaker 1: to normal football feeling around. Were are things sort of
Speaker 1: playing in their favorite too on this short weeks are
Speaker 1: weird anyway because you're out of schedule for both teams.
Speaker 1: They are creatures of habit, and the habits broken this
Speaker 1: week anyway, So to throw one more thing like Jalen
Speaker 1: and there it's I just don't expect if they lose,
Speaker 1: they're not going to if it won't be because of
Speaker 1: the distractions and because they didn't play well, have to
Speaker 1: win the Oshan Lock. That's Osan's lock of the Jaguars
Speaker 1: over the Titans tomorrow night. We've got by the way, Um,
Speaker 1: what do you expect and I the fascinating thing to
Speaker 1: me Tomorre and I, at least before the game and starts,
Speaker 1: is when Jalen comes out of that tunnel for the
Speaker 1: first time, what's the reaction going to be in the stadium.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be probably twent sort of
Speaker 1: all in forum, because there are people who when you're losing,
Speaker 1: like the Jaguars have lost in the last tour fift
Speaker 1: there are people who are gonna side with anybody who's
Speaker 1: sort of mad at the team. There's gonna be that
Speaker 1: bunch of they can't do anything right. There's another example
Speaker 1: of it. He's our man. But I really think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, booze. I expect that to happen
Speaker 1: because no matter how he wants to worry yesterday in
Speaker 1: the press conference about loving the city, liking the you
Speaker 1: know all that. Um, if you're requesting a trade away
Speaker 1: for for the reasons that are reported that he's doing it,
Speaker 1: you're giving up on the organization and the fans and
Speaker 1: this thing that you sort of feel you're all in on.
Speaker 1: So I would expect him to be booed. If I
Speaker 1: was in the stands as a Jaguar fan, I probably
Speaker 1: would do because you feel betrayed. That's that's the reality
Speaker 1: of it. It's disappointing, it's difficult, but you know, if
Speaker 1: he didn't want that, then you don't do what he did.
Speaker 1: And I and I totally for JP. I really like Jail,
Speaker 1: I liked watched him, I like covering him. I think
Speaker 1: not any percent of what people have gotten angry with
Speaker 1: him about and all the convers of it hasn't been
Speaker 1: nearly as much of a problem as people put on.
Speaker 1: But when you go so far as he's done the
Speaker 1: last couple of days, Uh, it's hard to keep that
Speaker 1: beloved feeling for the fan base. It's just not gonna happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll see tomorrow night what the reaction really
Speaker 1: is for the Jags and the Titans in week three
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football, we're back in a moment, Jimmy
Speaker 1: Luck joins us, head equipment manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Well,

Speaker 1: We're back Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the field's aunor
Speaker 1: group Stap Shattered John Osher. That music. Each Wednesday means
Speaker 1: it's time for Jimmy Luck had equipment manager. What's up
Speaker 1: going on? Oh? Nothing? Quiet week, short week, short quiet
Speaker 1: week football. Well, it's here. It's all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's like here, Oh, we're playing tomorrow it's a fast
Speaker 1: one right return around. Certainly for the players that isn't
Speaker 1: really does it do anything for the equipment staff, quick
Speaker 1: turnaround like that now home, I guess yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: huge help that it's at home. Obviously, anytime we play
Speaker 1: a home game after a road game, that's easier for us.
Speaker 1: Um But yeah, we you know, we made sure uniforms
Speaker 1: were pretty much together last week. Um so because we
Speaker 1: knew we wouldn't have a whole lot of time this week.
Speaker 1: But it was you know, it's kind of business as usual.
Speaker 1: We still have the same amount of stuff to do.
Speaker 1: It's just not as many hours in the day. I
Speaker 1: guess the same amount of hours of the day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't change the rule is that the hat the
Speaker 1: home hat. This is kind of the the the error
Speaker 1: of this was kind of the look back then. So
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's the home hat or the road hat.
Speaker 1: Last week, this one it's now it's the it's the
Speaker 1: new logo. But it's you know, kind of the fault
Speaker 1: and all that of the of the mid nineties when uh,
Speaker 1: you know, all the all the pastel color started coming
Speaker 1: out with the with the major league teams like the
Speaker 1: Marlins and Panthers are kind of that Carolina blue. So
Speaker 1: it's just any team. I guess there was us, the
Speaker 1: Ravens and um, and the Panthers kind of have this
Speaker 1: this hat so because they all kind of did it
Speaker 1: off your arrow when you when you came to the league.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. So this is our normal
Speaker 1: segment where we unveil the uniforms. You guys, let the
Speaker 1: cat out the bag. Up, we didn't let the cat
Speaker 1: out of the bag on this show. The cat was
Speaker 1: let out of the bag because there were big announcements.
Speaker 1: And it's let out of the bag because it's a
Speaker 1: Teal out on Thursday night. So that means that the
Speaker 1: Jags are probably wearing Teal. So you want to show
Speaker 1: us what the Jags are wearing since you can't truly
Speaker 1: unveil it. Jimmy luck what he got, So we got
Speaker 1: the jersey. Imagine that. So and it's also dark week.
Speaker 1: Dark Week. He's had a good start to it, so
Speaker 1: that's we kind of like saying that in the equipment room.
Speaker 1: It's Shark week. Um, and then we're gonna go with
Speaker 1: the black pants. Hey deal over black. So I did
Speaker 1: make a push for the feel pants, but I got
Speaker 1: detailed on that one. Okay, you walk down there and
Speaker 1: you tell him, never mind, don't not this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't do that. Probably a few other things going on.
Speaker 1: So I say, I think we'll be good. We'll be okay.
Speaker 1: In the black to call a meeting about it, I
Speaker 1: guess I don't need to be the center of any meetings. No. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, Jimmy, well done, Thanks, thanks Jimmy. Yeah, that's no.
Speaker 1: This is everything short this week. Let's go Jimmy Luck
Speaker 1: an equipment man with this each and every week. And
Speaker 1: there he is, there's on the board. He's had a
Speaker 1: nice comeback last week. Almost. He's a good kid. I
Speaker 1: like him. He's got a little little something to him. Back.

Speaker 1: to come into and some shading there for the ticket thing.
Speaker 1: And so it's nice and you can bring a bottle
Speaker 1: of water all season long. Not it's gonna go all
Speaker 1: season seventeen ounces or less. You can bring with you
Speaker 1: to the game to warn't I yes, So there's that.
Speaker 1: So this has been it's week three. I think I
Speaker 1: tweeted this earlier today. I said, it's only week three.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like it's been about twelve
Speaker 1: thirteen weeks already. It's been a lot going on here.
Speaker 1: Weeks ago you thought Nick Foles and Jalen Ramsey where
Speaker 1: you keep playing? And then you know who knows? I
Speaker 1: mean Jalen is gonna be on the field tomorrow. But
Speaker 1: here's what's happened in the first three weeks. Right week one,
Speaker 1: fulls hurt, Miles Jack ejected from the game, the defense
Speaker 1: gave it up the Chief Swan, and then last week
Speaker 1: the sideline incident, the two point play at the end
Speaker 1: to nearly win. Ramsey asked for a trade after the game,
Speaker 1: and then you know what's happened this week already with
Speaker 1: the press conference, and he practiced yesterday and today, and
Speaker 1: I think what's lost in it is something we we
Speaker 1: sort of tried to dig into with the players, and
Speaker 1: they came within a point on the road of beating
Speaker 1: the defending division champs I and played better after the
Speaker 1: incident than they did before the sideline incident. I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of Jaguars teams in the past or something
Speaker 1: like that. All of a sudden, you're staring at the
Speaker 1: end of the game and you're completely disheartened. And that
Speaker 1: was the weird dynamic because you had this thing that
Speaker 1: everybody knew was the undercurrent story. And yet I wasn't
Speaker 1: just blowing smoke when I talked to Colmley a second ago.
Speaker 1: They outplayed him for the last three quars. They should
Speaker 1: have won the game had they convert two or three
Speaker 1: um especially the turnovers that they didn't get or else.
Speaker 1: The game felt more like a Jaguars win if you
Speaker 1: pulled back from it. So all the stuff that's going on.
Speaker 1: They have a quarterback who looks like you can make
Speaker 1: some plays and who looks like the moment's not too
Speaker 1: big for him. They have a wide receiver group that
Speaker 1: is all of a sudden looking like it can make plays.
Speaker 1: The offensive line was not as good last week as
Speaker 1: it was in Week one, but there's still elements on
Speaker 1: this thing. You find a way to win this one.
Speaker 1: And if you look at the schedule for the next
Speaker 1: five or six weeks, I'm not a schedule. You know,
Speaker 1: circle the uh and assume who you're gonna beat, But
Speaker 1: it's not. The Patriots and the Rams and the power
Speaker 1: teams come in here their games you ought to be
Speaker 1: able to get. You win this one, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you're back in it, especially if Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: plays for three quarters like you did for one the
Speaker 1: other day. Uh, that's gotten lost because the jail and stuff,
Speaker 1: But that is definitely a possibility right now that you
Speaker 1: hope the team can take advantage of this. You hope
Speaker 1: it's not too fragmented, and I don't think it will be.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's pick our players to watch for this
Speaker 1: game Thursday Night Football. This used to be the deep
Speaker 1: track segment when we dug deep down the roster, and
Speaker 1: we're not there yet. So I'm gonna start John if
Speaker 1: that's okay with you? No, no, it's our show. He's
Speaker 1: the guy driving. You're the word hosts. Oh no, no,
Speaker 1: easy with that. Um, I'm going with the entire Jaguars
Speaker 1: defense after everything that's happened this week with no, they haven't.
Speaker 1: The entire defense is the cat head logo? Um, how
Speaker 1: are they gonna play? How are they gonna respond? He's
Speaker 1: gonna be out there? How does he respond? How does
Speaker 1: he play? We touched on that earlier. You get the
Speaker 1: feeling he's gonna play as hard as he can and
Speaker 1: be trying to be the jail and that he is
Speaker 1: because that helps him out as well. But how does
Speaker 1: the rest of the group respond to that? How does
Speaker 1: the stadium respond to that? How does the team respond
Speaker 1: to everything that happens in a game? Good, bad, and different?
Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating the bar night to see how
Speaker 1: this group plays. Yeah. I think generally speaking, when you
Speaker 1: have talent on one side of the ball, they're not
Speaker 1: very injured. Usually in this league you see situations like
Speaker 1: this where one or two games, uh, you pull together
Speaker 1: and and I'll play with your hair on fire. The
Speaker 1: focus is all there. I think they're going to come
Speaker 1: out and play fantastic. I think Jamon will play fantastic.
Speaker 1: It's on national TV. There's a lot of pressure. I mean,
Speaker 1: I news flash. They're going to talk about him on
Speaker 1: the broadcast, so it's it's going to be a focus.
Speaker 1: He's a high level athlete. He will perform well. So
Speaker 1: I think the defense will play outstanding whether he's in
Speaker 1: the game or not. If he's not there, they'll be
Speaker 1: motivated to show he's not the intent. You know, it's
Speaker 1: the old things. I think he's gonna play. I think
Speaker 1: the defense will be fine. Okay, there you have it.
Speaker 1: That's my Those are my players to watch the sick
Speaker 1: the entire team. I mean I could have done that. Actually,
Speaker 1: you know, I had to go with two. So the
Speaker 1: first one I went with was Logan Cook. He was
Speaker 1: first or second on our list, but uh, I tried
Speaker 1: to go with the with the least exciting possible picks.
Speaker 1: I'm with a putter now, But in fairness to him,
Speaker 1: I think I think because he's a putter, because you
Speaker 1: don't really talk about that much, and because all the
Speaker 1: Ramsey stuff what got lost. Had they won the other day,
Speaker 1: I think he would have been a f C Special
Speaker 1: Teams Player of the Week or whatever that is. He
Speaker 1: had an outstanding game, and without him, the dynamic of
Speaker 1: that defense the other day is far different. I think
Speaker 1: it was four kicks inside the twenty with like a
Speaker 1: forty seven yard net, played about as well as he
Speaker 1: could as a putter. Not surprising. He has been playing
Speaker 1: at a high level since preseason training camp consistently. Doug
Speaker 1: marrone not praises him as playing very very well. There's
Speaker 1: a kind of game to row I that you figure.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be low scoring. I think it would
Speaker 1: be field positions stuff between these two teams. I think
Speaker 1: he'll if he has that kind of game as he
Speaker 1: did the other day tomorrow night, it will be a
Speaker 1: huge edge for the Jack hasn't out of touch back
Speaker 1: this year yet and the second in the league in
Speaker 1: net average so far in two games, work a lot
Speaker 1: of work last week, but um yeah, it's it's he's
Speaker 1: taking a step. It seems this year I think DJ.
Speaker 1: I know, you do a lot of these shows and
Speaker 1: you get mixed up on some of these guys sometimes,
Speaker 1: but you didn't and I got confused because d J Hayden.
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure which DJ was coming. It was a
Speaker 1: whole DJ thing. Uh. He to me looks like a
Speaker 1: guy who Sometimes when you talk about a guy off
Speaker 1: season when he hasn't had a great rookie year going
Speaker 1: into second you talk about second year jump, you assume
Speaker 1: a guy is gonna make it, and you're never really
Speaker 1: sure if they will or not. And half the time
Speaker 1: they do have time, they don't. Boy, does he look
Speaker 1: like a budding star. So part of their problem in
Speaker 1: years passed against Tennessee is they play these tight games,
Speaker 1: tight games. Both teams are playing the same kind of game,
Speaker 1: and yet the Jaguars can't quite get a big play
Speaker 1: to make it happen. He strikes he as a guy
Speaker 1: who finally, this offense has a guy that you're not
Speaker 1: surprised when he makes a thirty five yard play or
Speaker 1: when he makes the spectacular play he's turned into that guy. Uh.
Speaker 1: I also think Josh Allen has a huge game to
Speaker 1: all night it was gonna see him. I think it
Speaker 1: will be a changing of the guard type game. He
Speaker 1: got pumped up for national TV in the preseason national
Speaker 1: television game. He has a huge game and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden announced you're talking about him and saying this
Speaker 1: is the transition point. Jalen Ramsey was the star. Now
Speaker 1: it's Josh Allen and it's possibility offensively, Uh, this could
Speaker 1: be when people nationally start knowing who DJ Chark is.
Speaker 1: I like that. It would be a good thing for
Speaker 1: charking this Jaguars offense too, if they can get that
Speaker 1: done Tomorrow night, there are players to watch. I had
Speaker 1: the entire defense see their response to everything that's happened
Speaker 1: this week. John had DJ Shark and Logan Cook. We've
Speaker 1: got a busy day coming up tomorrow five thirty for
Speaker 1: the public Tailgate show eight twenty kickoff time. We'll have
Speaker 1: countdown to kickoff at seven thirty on the Jaguars Radio
Speaker 1: Network and boy what today it's gonna be Come early,
Speaker 1: be loud where you're teal tomorrow night and John will
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow right sport pay that that very one
Speaker 1: probably got too flipp coin listen joy it tomorrow night,
