Speaker 1: groups are meat, gravy, pie, bourbon, and meat. J. P. Shadrick.
Speaker 1: And that's not even on Thanksgiving, that's every other day.
Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Happy Happy Happy Hour JP. Twice too,
Speaker 1: by the way, that's John Osier. Pie could have been
Speaker 1: in there twice too, who says it wasn't. We've got
Speaker 1: quite a program for you today. Here's what's coming up.
Speaker 1: Tom Coughley speaks. It's the biggest news of the day
Speaker 1: around here. He hasn't spoken since the NFL Draft on
Speaker 1: the record. We'll hear what coach Coughlin had to say
Speaker 1: about this season and what lies ahead. There are five
Speaker 1: games remaining. We heard that a time or two. Not
Speaker 1: to ruin the sound bites coming up Bucks Jags preview.
Speaker 1: That is the first of the five games ahead. That's
Speaker 1: this Sunday at t i A Bank. People here from
Speaker 1: Todd Wash Jaguars defensive coordinator Nick Foles, the quarterback Jimmy
Speaker 1: Luck will be in studio for the uniform unveiling. What
Speaker 1: will the Jaguars were after Thanksgiving? And will they still
Speaker 1: fit after all the food is taken down? Tomorrow Chris
Speaker 1: Connlelly wide receiver, schedule to join us with a mystery
Speaker 1: guest from the locker room. There's no telling who's gonna
Speaker 1: bring with him today. That should be fun and un
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be it always is. Chris does a
Speaker 1: great job for us these wednesday Uh, let's hear from
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin today. The executive vice president of football Operations
Speaker 1: hasn't talked for a long time. He hasn't talked during
Speaker 1: this season. In fact, Doug Marone has been the one
Speaker 1: leading the charge in front of the media each week,
Speaker 1: at least a couple of times a week, if not
Speaker 1: more than that. So why now for Tom Coughlin. You
Speaker 1: know my philosophy, the head coach is the voice of
Speaker 1: the program. Okay, I feel at this point in time
Speaker 1: that I'm needed to speak. Doug has come before you
Speaker 1: with his message literally every day since the start of
Speaker 1: the season. If I can help reinforce that message. Then
Speaker 1: that's why I'm here. We're all in this together. We're
Speaker 1: all battling. We all want to win. You all want
Speaker 1: to win. I know that. You know. Want to write
Speaker 1: about a team that's not winning. It's not any fun.
Speaker 1: And we're all in this thing together. That's one bite.
Speaker 1: He was also asked a good bit about his relationship
Speaker 1: with the Doug Maron, did not go delve too far
Speaker 1: down that road. Was asked about the job that Doug
Speaker 1: Maron has done this season, as I keep saying, we
Speaker 1: have five games to go and then they'll be certainly
Speaker 1: will be evaluation of every one of us, of everybody.
Speaker 1: So that was a simple answer for Tom Conful there
Speaker 1: and then was appealing to fans to come down to
Speaker 1: t i a bank Field three home games left of
Speaker 1: the five remaining in twenty nineteen. Here's what he had
Speaker 1: for the fans today. We need you very badly. You know,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, we've been on the road for three
Speaker 1: straight weeks and it hasn't been pretty. We need to
Speaker 1: get home. We need to get our our whole thing
Speaker 1: going in our stadium and our support from everyone. It's
Speaker 1: not a time to duck your head, stick your head
Speaker 1: in the sand. It's a we all know what the
Speaker 1: circumstances are. But these are young men. They they know
Speaker 1: when they're being supported and and when some extension of
Speaker 1: love is being sent their way, and they will respond.
Speaker 1: So we all need to do this. There's Tom Conflin today.
Speaker 1: Where do you begin on this day? John? When's time
Speaker 1: it happens? Everybody wants to pick it apart and have
Speaker 1: reasons and motives for it. I think it's clear that
Speaker 1: you know you're coming home after a and coming back
Speaker 1: to every bank field or a bank field after a
Speaker 1: very tough three game road trip, so you sort of
Speaker 1: reset it. You remind people in in a somewhat different tones,
Speaker 1: same message, different tone, that there's five games to go,
Speaker 1: and that they're not evaluating anything they were asked about.
Speaker 1: Tom was asked about in Gok Way, and he was
Speaker 1: asked about many things. How you evaluate this? He was
Speaker 1: asked about his own future, and again and again he
Speaker 1: said five games remain, and you know that I think
Speaker 1: was his message of Hey, the season isn't over yet.
Speaker 1: There's still a a a task at hand, and there's
Speaker 1: a temptation when you're four and seven. We do a
Speaker 1: JP on this show. The media does that, the fans
Speaker 1: do it. There was a tone this week of everybody
Speaker 1: wondering what's going to happen after the season, future, You
Speaker 1: know all this, and it's fair for all of us
Speaker 1: whose job it is to be the noise, which that's
Speaker 1: what we do. We talk about what's going on. Well,
Speaker 1: we respond to fans, so we talk about what they're
Speaker 1: curious about. So I think Tom in the big picture,
Speaker 1: was resetting of saying, hey, there's three games to go,
Speaker 1: or there's five games to go, there's three at home.
Speaker 1: We still want everybody's support, We still want this to
Speaker 1: where the folks would be. He knows that that's not
Speaker 1: going to stop the noise, and he's smart enough to
Speaker 1: know there's going to be people who don't like the message,
Speaker 1: who don't whatever. His job is to set the tone
Speaker 1: in this situation as he sees fit, or help Doug
Speaker 1: as he sets at the tone. So that's what they did.
Speaker 1: I don't expect it to have a major impact on
Speaker 1: who comes to the game, and I expected but he
Speaker 1: was trying to set the tone for a few things,
Speaker 1: and perhaps he did. There were a few items though
Speaker 1: that he did not delve on too much. When asked
Speaker 1: about one of those was Doug Maron's comments about being
Speaker 1: criticized within the organization that was earlier this week, he
Speaker 1: said that stays between him and Doug and left that.
Speaker 1: He was also asked about jale Ramsey, what could have
Speaker 1: be done, what could he have done differently to repair
Speaker 1: that relationship, and he said, well, he's not gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Jalen. He's a member of another team. And then
Speaker 1: Unique and Gotway's possible contract extension. He said, there's five
Speaker 1: games to go, and and here's exactly what he said
Speaker 1: in fact about Unique and Gottway. We have five games
Speaker 1: to play and everyone has a lot to prove. So
Speaker 1: that was as simple of an answer as he had
Speaker 1: on some those those topics were kind of out there
Speaker 1: still and had not been touched by that level of
Speaker 1: executive And you know, again, when Tom speaks, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a touchstone moment that everybody who covers the team
Speaker 1: and everybody talks out on Twitter will refer back to.
Speaker 1: And that's what this sort of thing has become in
Speaker 1: the day and age of this level of media coverage,
Speaker 1: meaning Twitter and responding to things as they're said as
Speaker 1: their as their lives streamed. Um, So there's been some
Speaker 1: talk I've seen about well, he didn't come out and
Speaker 1: say that they wanted to resign Unique. Well, I had
Speaker 1: already sort of said that, and I think it's given
Speaker 1: that that they want to sign Unique, they sign at
Speaker 1: the right price that they talked about. So I wouldn't
Speaker 1: read a whole lot into Tom not saying yes, we
Speaker 1: want Unique and got way back because my guess is
Speaker 1: if you had gone down the list and asked about
Speaker 1: any players specifically, that was gonna be the approach. He
Speaker 1: wasn't going to get into any because he said later, JP,
Speaker 1: I think you were down there. It's all kind of
Speaker 1: a blurred um. He said later this is not I'm
Speaker 1: not going to get into that, and or I think
Speaker 1: he said this isn't the time for that, and this
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the form for that. He's not going to
Speaker 1: address that sort of thing in the media. So it's
Speaker 1: more that was my takeaway from it, not that Tom
Speaker 1: didn't care about Unique, not that he wasn't insured in
Speaker 1: signing Unique. It wasn't a message to Unique. It was look,
Speaker 1: he's not going to talk about anything like that in
Speaker 1: that forum and do that right. So don't necessarily think that, hey,
Speaker 1: the team doesn't like any cankoy, because Tom Coffin wouldn't
Speaker 1: come out and say we have to sign this guy.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give away that sort of negotiation in
Speaker 1: that environment anyway, So minimize your panic over that statement.
Speaker 1: It is. It is noteworthy though that it happened with
Speaker 1: five games to go, and he rarely, if ever, I
Speaker 1: don't think you've spoken during a season since he's been
Speaker 1: back here, Uh, not to my recollection, and now nineteen
Speaker 1: will be the first time right during you know, and
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's tough time. I mean you've and again
Speaker 1: there was some a lot made among my media brethren. Uh,
Speaker 1: and they know who they are. Well, he didn't give
Speaker 1: him a vote of confidence. He didn't. He didn't support
Speaker 1: Dugg didn't. Again, I just don't think that Tom came
Speaker 1: in there with the idea of supporting not supporting that
Speaker 1: It was more a very beginning. If if you listen
Speaker 1: to the speech, there was a little bit of a
Speaker 1: call to action. Hey, we need support, We're not done yet.
Speaker 1: That was the message he wanted to get across. And
Speaker 1: you know, if you've been around Tom, and I covered
Speaker 1: Tom in the nineties, So you spend days sort of
Speaker 1: just listening to him and interpreting the way he operates. Um,
Speaker 1: he's rightly or wrongly not going to be forced in
Speaker 1: a situation like that to get off of the point
Speaker 1: that he wants to make. And I think he came
Speaker 1: in there saying, look, I want to talk to the fans,
Speaker 1: tell them we don't believe seasons over with. We still
Speaker 1: need you. Um. And beyond that, I wouldn't read a
Speaker 1: tremendous amount in anything he was saying. That was what
Speaker 1: he wanted to do. Uh. Whether he accomplished or not,
Speaker 1: it is probably up to the event to the individual
Speaker 1: fan who decides whether they want to hear the message.
Speaker 1: But that's the only thing that I would say. There
Speaker 1: was a real motivation behind again. And I want to
Speaker 1: say that JP because people will read into this moment
Speaker 1: as what was he saying about Doug? You know, what's
Speaker 1: the tea leaves say about this or what's the tee
Speaker 1: I'm not sure there was any tea leave to be
Speaker 1: read in that beyond we want the fans here. Let's
Speaker 1: move on to football, shall we? Why not at this point? Right?
Speaker 1: So the Jacks are Ford and seven of course they've
Speaker 1: dropped the last three games, all division games on the road.
Speaker 1: A lot of that has to do with a run defense,
Speaker 1: though six ninety nine rushing yards allowed over the last
Speaker 1: three games. That won't get it done. A lot of
Speaker 1: those plays are explosive plays. According to Todd Wash we
Speaker 1: had ten last week. We had four runs in six
Speaker 1: passes last week. You know, in the same thing as
Speaker 1: you know, we were in position to make a couple
Speaker 1: of plays. We didn't make a couple of plays. Um,
Speaker 1: the one third down, I think I put them in
Speaker 1: a bad call. Um. You know, they surprised us with
Speaker 1: a personnel grouping, and uh so you know it's a
Speaker 1: combination obviously that we gotta make plays and I gotta
Speaker 1: put them in better position. A right, A couple of
Speaker 1: things this week. Obviously the opposition can throw it around
Speaker 1: the yard a little bit. Jamis Winston twenty two touchdowns
Speaker 1: a league hides one of interceptions, but uh, near the
Speaker 1: top of the league and passing yardage and attempts and
Speaker 1: completions and all that, and to one thousand yard receivers
Speaker 1: that rarely happens in the league, Godwin and Evans, so
Speaker 1: a different kind of feel this week, but it's a
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense has beat up a little bit A lot
Speaker 1: of guys on the injury report that would be frontline
Speaker 1: guys for this team. That kind of question marks going
Speaker 1: to the Thanksgiving table tomorrow. So that equation is not
Speaker 1: a good one, at least on paper. I know what
Speaker 1: to tell you, j V. It's tough. I mean on
Speaker 1: defense right now, this is a tough situation. And I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to be overly snyder or sarcastic. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's uh. I don't know that they have
Speaker 1: an available solution to getting the run defense fixed, because
Speaker 1: I don't know that without Marcel Darius on the Darius
Speaker 1: on the inside, that there is enough um energy, weight
Speaker 1: talent on the interior of the defense to slow down
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'm also not sure that the ends
Speaker 1: as as much as we all respect what Clays Campbell's
Speaker 1: all about and what unique and got Way is in
Speaker 1: terms of rushing the past or I don't know. Those
Speaker 1: two guys right now are playing at a high level
Speaker 1: against the run. So I don't know where you stop that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the solution there is, and obviously
Speaker 1: whatever they're trying to do in terms of getting gaps stopped. Uh.
Speaker 1: Teams are of the correct belief right now that if
Speaker 1: they run enough of this defense, somebody's gonna jump out
Speaker 1: of a gap and they're gonna be able to gouget.
Speaker 1: And it's happened happen Tavin Bryan last week in the
Speaker 1: seventy four yard run. Until they've proved they stopped that,
Speaker 1: I can't believe they're going to stop that, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: is that think? So what you would think that this
Speaker 1: Tampa offense with arians running the show there, they want
Speaker 1: to throw it around. That's what they've done all year.
Speaker 1: But do they switch that up this week? Oh? I
Speaker 1: think they'll switch it up And now they're really good
Speaker 1: news JP. I don't know that we know right now
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars secondary is. And and you know a
Speaker 1: j boy A is playing a very good brand of
Speaker 1: cornerback uh for the situation meaning he's been thrown over. Okay,
Speaker 1: now you're gonna be a one. Uh. So I think
Speaker 1: you need a good job and on the times he's
Speaker 1: been asked to be that guy. When you've got two
Speaker 1: receivers coming in who are both capable and you're down
Speaker 1: Ronnie Harris and it looks like with a concussion, you're
Speaker 1: already you're already down to Trey Herndon h and not
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. So it's, uh, we don't know for the
Speaker 1: last month really if the secondary is playing well or
Speaker 1: not because they haven't been tested, because they haven't had
Speaker 1: to be tested. Well, They're gonna get tested on Sunday.
Speaker 1: And the hope, you would think is this is still
Speaker 1: a decent pass rushing team. It's still a team that
Speaker 1: can pressure you into mistakes. And Jamis Winston is a
Speaker 1: guy who has made mistakes, so somewhere in that form
Speaker 1: but I can't tell you what the percentages are that's
Speaker 1: going to play out. But there's a formula in there
Speaker 1: for this team to get some turnovers and to get
Speaker 1: up ah, and if you get up, you never know
Speaker 1: what's going happens. I think that's the hope, is that
Speaker 1: maybe the Bucks weakness and they're passing games sort of
Speaker 1: weakness Santa strength. It's a weird passing game, meaning Jameis
Speaker 1: thowes for a lot of yards by a touchdown to
Speaker 1: aniled interceptions. Maybe this is a Sunday where that's a
Speaker 1: weakness in the Jaguars can take advantage of it with
Speaker 1: the strength that they have left defensively, which is pressure
Speaker 1: in the quarterback. Um, that's my strand that I'm holding
Speaker 1: onto for life. That's the defensive side. But if they
Speaker 1: can get a few extra possessions for the offense right,
Speaker 1: then it's up to the offense to figure out how
Speaker 1: to find some consistency and get down the field and
Speaker 1: get in the end zone, especially early in the game.
Speaker 1: We heard from the quarterback this week, Nick Foles. Everybody
Speaker 1: wants to point fingers, But when you point fingers, three
Speaker 1: fingers come back towards you. Just because you're losing, just
Speaker 1: because you're struggling, doesn't mean you have a bad culture.
Speaker 1: A culture built great teams are built in times like
Speaker 1: this if you handle it the appropriate way, and that's
Speaker 1: sticking together and continue to move forward and not pointing fingers.
Speaker 1: But that's very hard to do and anything we do
Speaker 1: in any organization, in any sport, because everyone always wants
Speaker 1: to point fingers and to flect blame. But we all
Speaker 1: have ownership and who we are right now, we all
Speaker 1: are have ownership in the identity of the team at
Speaker 1: this moment, but we also have the opportunity as people
Speaker 1: to change who we are. And that doesn't happen overnight.
Speaker 1: It happens a little bit at a time, and a
Speaker 1: little bit of the time left is the five games
Speaker 1: this season to try to get things right, and he's
Speaker 1: taking the positive approach. That's Nick Foles and and that's
Speaker 1: who he is, and that's what's left with this team
Speaker 1: is to try to figure things out. Now. We didn't
Speaker 1: hear much today from John d Filippo, offensive coordinator. He
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot to say today. A short press
Speaker 1: conference for him today. But they've got to figure this
Speaker 1: thing out. And they had some momentum early last week.
Speaker 1: They had the ten play drive to start the game.
Speaker 1: The holding cost all that, they had another drive going,
Speaker 1: another holding cost to all that. So they had some
Speaker 1: some mix, some success early. They just couldn't find any
Speaker 1: paid hurt last week. I'll go to a place that
Speaker 1: Nick went to yesterday in the press conference, and I'll
Speaker 1: press the best saying. I understand a lot of fans
Speaker 1: are tired of hearing this because they're tired of Nick's message,
Speaker 1: which is that you know they're in the beginning of
Speaker 1: a process and that they're trying to find their way.
Speaker 1: Uh So that's not an ideal situation Week thirteen. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to hear that. In terms of hope for this Sunday,
Speaker 1: which is what our topic is. Nick did say at
Speaker 1: the end of his discussion yesterday, they felt like they
Speaker 1: found some things offensively, they kept playing, they kept going
Speaker 1: at it, and late it was what seven to three
Speaker 1: and a a half, and they got seventeen points. After that point,
Speaker 1: they were mop up points and people don't notice it. Uh.
Speaker 1: Nick seemed to have the belief that maybe that was
Speaker 1: the start of something. So the seventeen points and and
Speaker 1: get some things going, Let's hope it was. And that
Speaker 1: does happen. Sometimes you find something in a game and
Speaker 1: you kind of keep it going. Nobody notices it, but
Speaker 1: over the course of time, then you look back on
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I think nobody noticed. That's where it
Speaker 1: started again. I at Owen at at Owen three in
Speaker 1: the last three games of twenty point losses. It's hard
Speaker 1: for us to sit here and realistically sell the fan
Speaker 1: that things are going well. So you're looking for spots
Speaker 1: you can hang onto on defense, maybe getting a couple
Speaker 1: of turnovers on offense. Perhaps it's what Nick's talking about
Speaker 1: maybe they found something. Maybe they found something in the
Speaker 1: running game. Uh, and then maybe there's some chemistry development
Speaker 1: with receivers. Maybe they can hold onto that because they
Speaker 1: are deficient in Samaria, are deficient at tight end right now,
Speaker 1: They're deficient in the run game. So you've got to
Speaker 1: hope that the strengths they're finding work and add up
Speaker 1: to me able to compete against this team on Sunday.
Speaker 1: All right, let's come back. We'll pick some players to
Speaker 1: watch this week, and a little later we'll get the
Speaker 1: uniform unfailing Jimmy lockead equipment Manager schedule to join US
Speaker 1: wide receiver Chris Conley in studio with a special secret
Speaker 1: locker room guests. We have no idea who's going to
Speaker 1: be there. Could be anybody, so up it is, that's
Speaker 1: why nobody knows, even us. We're back in a moment.

Speaker 1: John Os, You're glad you're along with us today as
Speaker 1: the Jags prepared to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday
Speaker 1: one o'clock kickoff time, Salute to service game at t
Speaker 1: I A. Bank Field This Sunday, the first of five
Speaker 1: games left in three of those here at the bank. Um,
Speaker 1: but there's a holiday in the way tomorrow, Thanksgiving. Are
Speaker 1: you a yeah, you're a pie guy? Are you? Uh?
Speaker 1: Joe told me you're a piet. I'm asking you what
Speaker 1: is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Um? Today? Please? Well the
Speaker 1: guy comma coming here probably uh, well made dressing. If
Speaker 1: it's if it If it's poorly made, it's nothing worse
Speaker 1: if that's right. If it's dry, but a a a
Speaker 1: well made dressing. I can go to town on that
Speaker 1: all day and maybe you will tomorrow if you're lucky.
Speaker 1: Let's get our players to watch. I don't like I
Speaker 1: don't like beats, beats, beets or sometimes Thanksgiving in there, right,
Speaker 1: aren't they? Well, I've never heard of that. You're like
Speaker 1: Leonard for Nett. Last night at Andrew Norwell's event, we
Speaker 1: asked each player up at the podium there, you know,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite Thanksgiving food? And you had a lot
Speaker 1: of mac and cheese, you had some turkey, you had
Speaker 1: some dressing, and you know all the normal Leonard Fournette
Speaker 1: says Bell Peppers okay experienced at some point Apparently he did,
Speaker 1: because I've never heard of that Thanksgiving but I hadn't
Speaker 1: needed beats. Is it beats or this, it's thinking cranberry.
Speaker 1: There's something red cranberry sauce. Nare's something gams no answer lunch,
Speaker 1: sweet potatoes. I don't know the same thing sweet potatoes.
Speaker 1: My father would not allow asparagus in the house. I
Speaker 1: said there were issues. I feel the same way about
Speaker 1: sweet at days. Let's move forward. We'll find out a
Speaker 1: little while. We'll hear what Jimmy have a secret guest
Speaker 1: feels about. Yeah, we don't know who that's gonna be,
Speaker 1: so we don't know yet. Here are some players to watch, um, John,
Speaker 1: you want to get us started today on your players
Speaker 1: to watch. One of those is a wide receiver. Well, uh,
Speaker 1: it's very vogue this week talked about Leonard for Nett
Speaker 1: and I've talked about Nick Foles on every show, So
Speaker 1: I pick Nick Foles. Uh Shark and you know Chris
Speaker 1: who I'm sure we'll acknowledge it when he comes in.
Speaker 1: Both had plays last week that really could have changed
Speaker 1: the dynamic of the game early and uh, DJ Chark
Speaker 1: has had a tremendous year and it's it's probably unfair,
Speaker 1: but you almost feel like they need at least one
Speaker 1: big play out of him every week. Or maybe two
Speaker 1: to really have a chance to get going on offense.
Speaker 1: And the Bucks secondary is it is not a great secondary.
Speaker 1: They've been okay in the last couple of games, but
Speaker 1: they were very weak last year. They weren't they have
Speaker 1: been great this year. He's a guy who you figure
Speaker 1: they'd find some form that we talked about, they'd find
Speaker 1: some formula to win. Uh. And the easiest thing for
Speaker 1: me to visualize, as as I'm sitting there and writing
Speaker 1: on Sunday night after this game, I could see myself
Speaker 1: writing the d J Chark had a hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: five yards receiving in two touchdowns. That's a conceivable thing
Speaker 1: for me to have. So maybe this is a game
Speaker 1: where he sort of does that and adds one more
Speaker 1: really good game to what's been a good game so
Speaker 1: which has been a good season so far. Uh. Eventually,
Speaker 1: his next step is probably doing that sort of thing
Speaker 1: more consistently than he's done already. So in the last
Speaker 1: four or five games, maybe that's where he starts that
Speaker 1: it would be nice for this offense. Yeah, sure, DJ
Speaker 1: Shark Jr. Your offensive player to watch this week. Defensively,
Speaker 1: you're going up front with a young and on the
Speaker 1: defensive line. Well, it's uh, and I'm not putting this
Speaker 1: up here to take a shot at Tven. It's more,
Speaker 1: he missed a major gap on on a big play
Speaker 1: last week, uh, cost him a touchdown. It's happened a
Speaker 1: couple of times in the last few games. You feel
Speaker 1: like with Taven that he was he really struggling the preseason,
Speaker 1: and you feel like he has made more impact. He's
Speaker 1: had some some flash plays people have noticed, so he's
Speaker 1: gotten better since the preseason. But in order for this
Speaker 1: team to be a really good he can't be splash
Speaker 1: play guy without Marceledarius there, meaning he's got to be consistent.
Speaker 1: And now he's got to get to the point where
Speaker 1: he doesn't have those one or two mistakes a game
Speaker 1: that really hurts you. Uh. And I can't see them
Speaker 1: stopping the run consistently until he gets more consistent. Inside.
Speaker 1: I really picked Aven more to talk about the entire
Speaker 1: defensive line, which needs somehow to be better against the run.
Speaker 1: And maybe it won't happen. Is it a lot to
Speaker 1: ask for it to happen this year? Maybe, But as
Speaker 1: long as they're giving up two yards a game, I
Speaker 1: think it's fair to ask each week, can they get
Speaker 1: better and make that stop because it's hard to win
Speaker 1: when you're doing that. All right, So you've got the
Speaker 1: d J. Shart Jr. And a couple of two eighteen
Speaker 1: draft Yes, let's take a look of mine. A J. Boyer,
Speaker 1: Jaguar's cornerback, and I you know, he's kind of the
Speaker 1: guy who's been around obviously in that secondary. But this
Speaker 1: is more as you said about the guys around A
Speaker 1: J this week because of the questions as safety. The
Speaker 1: youth on the other side at the corner got d J.
Speaker 1: Hayden has been around, but how healthy really is he?
Speaker 1: You don't know. He's been banged up this year some
Speaker 1: So for boy and to keep this group together somehow,
Speaker 1: I think would be a huge this week, especially against
Speaker 1: this matchup. Two thousand yard receivers, a quarterback that throws
Speaker 1: around the yard a little bit, two different types of
Speaker 1: receivers too. It's not just you know Evans a huge
Speaker 1: monster down the field. Uh. And then godwins a little
Speaker 1: guy that can run so that they do it different
Speaker 1: ways and who covers who is a big question. And
Speaker 1: A J. Boy A has been um in pretty good
Speaker 1: spirits the last few weeks. We'll see if that can
Speaker 1: can maintain down the stretcher if they play some some
Speaker 1: better defense. So for me, it's a J boy a
Speaker 1: and the defensive backfield as a whole. He's playing pretty good.
Speaker 1: He I wouldn't say he's playing it at an elite level,
Speaker 1: but he has had a couple of games where he's
Speaker 1: really done a good job in difficult circumstances, meaning he's
Speaker 1: had to shadow. He's had to play a role that
Speaker 1: I don't think people expected to play before the season. Obviously,
Speaker 1: and uh, he's a pro. He's again, I think he's
Speaker 1: ad a pro Bowl level. But if everybody on the
Speaker 1: defense was playing as well as a J I think
Speaker 1: they'd be in good shape. So credit to him. My
Speaker 1: next one, now, guard play is not what you would
Speaker 1: call sexy, right, It's not a sexy position. But I'm
Speaker 1: going with Andrew Norwell. And here's a couple of reasons
Speaker 1: why Jaguars left guard. I think Pete Prisco the other
Speaker 1: night said that p F has him ranked as the
Speaker 1: eighteenth best guard in football this year through twelve weeks.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. There's sixty four guards in the league,
Speaker 1: and there's been a lot of criticism of Norwal's play
Speaker 1: this year. Obviously, in the running game is where he thrives,
Speaker 1: I think more so than in the passing game. That's
Speaker 1: why he was brought here really, I think to really
Speaker 1: bolster that run offense and and and be a guy
Speaker 1: front between Linda and and the left tackle. So, um,
Speaker 1: can he finish on a strong note the last month?
Speaker 1: I think it's a big question mark and I don't
Speaker 1: have any doubts that he will. If they can get
Speaker 1: that running game consistently going again, I think that would
Speaker 1: help so Andrew Norwell, I think it's a big piece
Speaker 1: of that here. Obviously, if you can give fulls time
Speaker 1: to to have the balance and do all that, that's
Speaker 1: that's another part of this game too. But Andrew normal upfront,
Speaker 1: he's playing better than a lot of fans and observers
Speaker 1: given credit for. I wouldn't say that he has lived
Speaker 1: up to the All Pro contract. Whatever. He was making
Speaker 1: a high stace. You gotta pay money, um, so he
Speaker 1: hasn't been that. But he had multiple plays earlier in
Speaker 1: the season it looked really bad. Uh, and that when
Speaker 1: it happens we talked about before JP, it happens to
Speaker 1: an offensive line and nobody forgets it when it happens
Speaker 1: to uh somebody on defense or a running back. Uh,
Speaker 1: it gets forgotten in three weeks. And they're good plays
Speaker 1: get remembered. For an offensive lineman, you'll remember the bad.
Speaker 1: So he probably falls into that category more than most
Speaker 1: observers and fans who are sort of convinced now that
Speaker 1: he's bad want to believe. Uh. So I think he's
Speaker 1: been fine. I think he'll finish fine. Uh. As far
Speaker 1: as his future, it's hard to get a real grip
Speaker 1: on whether he'll return or not because of the money,
Speaker 1: because of a lot of things. But uh, he's not
Speaker 1: hurting the team. There's no reason to move, you know,
Speaker 1: eight emails all the time. Still, Hey, should they replace
Speaker 1: him with Will Ritt? It's not that he's fine for
Speaker 1: being the starter, Uh, just not perhaps what they hoped
Speaker 1: he would be. All right, So mindy too to watch A. J.
Speaker 1: Boyer the cornerback, and Andrew Norwell the offensive guard and
Speaker 1: for John D. J. Jurke Jr. And defensive lineman Taven
Speaker 1: Bryant are players to watch for the Jags and the
Speaker 1: Bucks this week. We're back in a moment. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: what I gotta watch? Him the players to watch. You
Speaker 1: must watch them. You must watch those guys and and

Speaker 1: laundry night, it's got to be tied. That music each
Speaker 1: week means it's time for head equipment manager Jimmy Luck
Speaker 1: to join us here on set. And it's no different
Speaker 1: this week than Jaguars Happy Our presented by the Fields
Speaker 1: Group Holiday or otherwise. Here's Jimmy Luck time. Yeah, what's happening.
Speaker 1: It's a Wednesday, but kind of a Thursday. The schedule
Speaker 1: got moved around, right, So Tuesday's normally the off day.
Speaker 1: Doug Marron moved the schedule up two days to give
Speaker 1: everybody Thursday off, which is nice. Not a lot of
Speaker 1: coaches do that, but Doug has been good about that.
Speaker 1: He's pretty good with that. Um that in Christmas kind
Speaker 1: of move in the schedule around so we get that
Speaker 1: day off. Christmas a Wednesday this year, I don't even
Speaker 1: know that's when it usually is most years. Um, but
Speaker 1: but that could be another week where they moved things
Speaker 1: around in the schedule. Um. So I mean, here we are,
Speaker 1: it's five games to go, that's what I hear. That's
Speaker 1: the rumor Jags and the Bucks coming up this Sunday,
Speaker 1: And it's been a long time for a game in
Speaker 1: this stadium. Yes, it has been a long time for
Speaker 1: a home game. Not as long as the Bucks. I
Speaker 1: think they played a little sketch where stretch where was
Speaker 1: like forty eight days something like that. But but yeah,
Speaker 1: it has been a while. It seems like we hadn't
Speaker 1: been here forever. And uh, last football game here, I
Speaker 1: guess was Florida, Georgia. We were in Yeah, we were
Speaker 1: in London and there was the soccer game was here
Speaker 1: a couple of days later, that's right, and they put
Speaker 1: a new field down for that. Yeah, so we got
Speaker 1: a fresh field out there for us. It's great. So
Speaker 1: and then obviously at home games you don't have to
Speaker 1: move all the trunks and everybody. Yes, we were talking
Speaker 1: about a little while ago the uh it was nice
Speaker 1: to not have to load a truck today, that's right.
Speaker 1: So it helps when you just said that. I think
Speaker 1: we haven't really talked about that on the show. On
Speaker 1: a road game, when do you guys load out a
Speaker 1: truck is Wednesday? Um, it's usually Thursday, Okay, Okay, Thursday, right,
Speaker 1: so yeah, so we'll yeah, we'll load it now. Then
Speaker 1: he may not leave right away. He may leave Friday morning,
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon, depending on the trip. But yeah, we normally
Speaker 1: load up, have everything ready to go Thursday and after
Speaker 1: the game obviously they head out right afterwards. And it
Speaker 1: depends on where the game was. How soon they get back.
Speaker 1: I mean anything that we need right away will throw
Speaker 1: on the plane, mostly just dirty clothes and player bags. Um,
Speaker 1: because most everything is back usually Monday afternoon. So what's
Speaker 1: on the plane is that pads primarily like the player bags.
Speaker 1: How much shoulder pads, cleats and then all the stinky,
Speaker 1: dirty laundry. I did not know that. How about that? Now?
Speaker 1: You know? That's why you asked the questions, why you
Speaker 1: asked the tough questions, John, That's what happens. This is
Speaker 1: This is that time of year though too, Jimmy, where
Speaker 1: there's some churn at the roster and some guys are
Speaker 1: banged up, but they're trying out guys and things happen.
Speaker 1: How much of a stress is that on you guys? Uh,
Speaker 1: we had two guys show up yesterday right before practice.
Speaker 1: They we worked them out and then uh, he said, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna sign two of these guys and they need
Speaker 1: to be on the field here in about ten minutes.
Speaker 1: So we got them out there. Luckily we didn't wear pads,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about getting everything done.
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, we got them fit and got them
Speaker 1: out there, got their jerseys and and everything. So it
Speaker 1: was little bit of grabbing gear off the shelf, right. No,
Speaker 1: we still take the time to get the right stuff. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, it's I seem it's a little
Speaker 1: bit of a scramble there. I did. I did miss individual.
Speaker 1: I did miss individual. So sorry, sorry Joe, Dana and
Speaker 1: coach Walton. Um, but t wolf pick my slap, slack up.
Speaker 1: Way to go the way to go to wolf. Um,
Speaker 1: let's get to the uniform unveiling. Jaguars are back home.
Speaker 1: So jimmy luck, what will the Jaguars wear Sunday against
Speaker 1: the Bucketeer. We're gonna go with the with the white pants, okay,
Speaker 1: white pants at home and the black jerseys, black jerseys okay,
Speaker 1: j dub there love Jared Willie black jerseys, white pants.
Speaker 1: Cool and uh once again that you can't wear the
Speaker 1: teal anymore. Right, Teal done the teal. We were done
Speaker 1: with the Teal Teal jerseys for this year. So there's
Speaker 1: only you can only wear these number of times you
Speaker 1: can Yeah, there's you can wear it three times. Preseason
Speaker 1: doesn't count. So we actually wore teal five times and
Speaker 1: then uh a little spoiler alert, I guess we'll wear five.
Speaker 1: There's black jerseys five times? Oh oh, you just I
Speaker 1: mean a little. We can just forget the segment the
Speaker 1: rest of the year. That's fine, Jimmy, It's we'll see right.

Speaker 1: the Fields Auto Group and Fresh out of Meetings, our
Speaker 1: co host. Every week, it's Wide Receiver Chris Coldly. Hi, Chris,
Speaker 1: how are you, sir? I'm doing well, doing well. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be here today. A lot to be thankful for
Speaker 1: this week, a lot of work going in this week
Speaker 1: and a lot of things being worked through. But I'm
Speaker 1: glad to be joined here by the man, the myth,
Speaker 1: the legend, Wells Campbell, baby John. Come on. But how
Speaker 1: many impressions of yourself over the years have you heard
Speaker 1: from teammates? And how good is who has done the
Speaker 1: best one? Who has done the best one? Ever? That's
Speaker 1: a tough one, No, man, There's been some great wins
Speaker 1: over the years, and I get probably at least I
Speaker 1: mean about ten guys pretty much. You're definitely top five five.
Speaker 1: I can't think. I gotta see you. I think will
Speaker 1: be the actual best. It just doesn't jump out of me.
Speaker 1: But there is definitely one I can't. I can't just
Speaker 1: I just I know. It was like, wow, hold on, man,
Speaker 1: trying to personate me on the street somewhere. Teach me
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's one very good thing. We had
Speaker 1: one time in a huddle where everybody huddled up and
Speaker 1: I just started talking in my Klais voice, and some
Speaker 1: people thought he was actually talking. It's pretty good. You
Speaker 1: are really pretty good. You probably thought he was actually talking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: They were like wait a minute, what we know proud
Speaker 1: of that? Let's I know, you gotta get out of
Speaker 1: here a little early, so we'll question Calais first. How
Speaker 1: about that? Um? Defensively, I think we talked in the
Speaker 1: locker room this week about this. Five games to go.
Speaker 1: The last three have not gone well for this defense overall,
Speaker 1: but they're still juice in this unit, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: how do you guys? How do you guys rally the
Speaker 1: rest of the way here? I mean, the biggest thing
Speaker 1: is just staying locked in stay said of course, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously things always go according to plan. You
Speaker 1: know you're gonna have some misfortune in bad times, you know,
Speaker 1: but you know your true character is tested and you
Speaker 1: find out who you really are and a hard time.
Speaker 1: So you know, we were flying around in practice. You know,
Speaker 1: guys are definitely still locked in engage, you know, playing
Speaker 1: a lot of energy and uh you know, I'm actually
Speaker 1: you know, decided where we're going, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Obviously you know hasn't been up to our standard last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but I can't do nothing about that. Now.
Speaker 1: You have to put it behind you and then go
Speaker 1: out and play good ball. And so this week, we're
Speaker 1: going out here and play with what we're supposed to.
Speaker 1: I feel like it would give us momentum to finish
Speaker 1: the season strong and put ourself in a good position.
Speaker 1: May say you're excited. Why what's from the outside point
Speaker 1: of view, people would be saying, what's he talking about? Well,
Speaker 1: and I'm just excited to see how guys respond, Just
Speaker 1: to see, you know, guys, you know, be show the resilience,
Speaker 1: you know, because obviously you know, I mean it's easy
Speaker 1: to just quit, you know, and lay down. You know,
Speaker 1: that's the easy thing to do, you know, to give up.
Speaker 1: You know we're not playing good, you know, we suck whatever.
Speaker 1: But no, that's not how it works. You know. You
Speaker 1: gotta fight your way out of tough times. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I like where we're at in the mindset
Speaker 1: that I see in the locker room, where guys are
Speaker 1: ready to fight, you know, I mean windows are drawing,
Speaker 1: you know, just going there and give us your hall,
Speaker 1: you know, play as hard as you can, try to
Speaker 1: do it the best way you can, and let our
Speaker 1: talent show. And we used to do this later j P.
Speaker 1: Should we let them? I want to hear what Chris
Speaker 1: Connelly I've asked Clays a million questions, a lot of
Speaker 1: which he didn't want to hear. Correct. Yes, what does
Speaker 1: Chris Conley want to ask Clay's campbell? Just probably just
Speaker 1: like a super like an important football question that you know,
Speaker 1: Clais just has a lot of years in this league,
Speaker 1: so he knows the game very well. So I just
Speaker 1: have a very serious football question. At what age did
Speaker 1: your voice start sounding like that very serious? You know? Yeah? Um,
Speaker 1: I definitely, because this cannot tell me that you were
Speaker 1: at ten years old going hey mama, can I get
Speaker 1: some serial? I want to go outside and play with
Speaker 1: my friends? Uh? No, you know this way here is
Speaker 1: from you know, from just scrimming and yelling in the
Speaker 1: football field. I used to be like the super hype
Speaker 1: player all the time, just scrimming the time of my lungs.
Speaker 1: And you see like a very like you know variation
Speaker 1: that now, I mean, I'm a lot more reserved. But
Speaker 1: when I was, like, you know, you're two year three man,
Speaker 1: I was screaming all the time. We could hear you.
Speaker 1: Because now sometimes you'll get loud, it'll be what is
Speaker 1: he saying? What is It'll be like from here to
Speaker 1: where you are, right now and just being a stadium
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, guys, let's go get fired up. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, I started doing voice exercises, man, start nodding
Speaker 1: and trying to work on actually projecting your being heard,
Speaker 1: because there's nothing worse than were trying to say something
Speaker 1: everybody's like what hey. I just know it comes from
Speaker 1: the heart, and I know it comes from a good place,
Speaker 1: so I'll smile and nod. Yeah, especially when you break
Speaker 1: it down and you go something on three and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I have no te what you're saying to three and
Speaker 1: Jags Jacks go. Chris, what was your first um, I
Speaker 1: guess when did you first hear about Calais coming up?
Speaker 1: I said an event last night. He's been around for
Speaker 1: a long time, obviously twelfth year in the league. When
Speaker 1: did you first hear of him? And what were your
Speaker 1: first impressions of him? When my first impression of Klais
Speaker 1: Campbell actually came playing Klais, Klais was on the other
Speaker 1: team and and watching him on Calais, the first thing
Speaker 1: that I realized is, you know, I'm lucky because I
Speaker 1: probably won't have to go up against this guy. Uh
Speaker 1: if I do my job correctly, I won't have to
Speaker 1: get hit by this guy. And then on the field
Speaker 1: I found out how intense he was. If you're on
Speaker 1: the other team, you know, and and and I told
Speaker 1: him this when I got here. I was like, yo, dude,
Speaker 1: I thought that you legit wanted to kill me because
Speaker 1: you were walking around on the field. He was talking
Speaker 1: to himself, you know, you know, which is you know,
Speaker 1: the sign of someone who might be a little bit
Speaker 1: and he was. He was upset. You know. It was
Speaker 1: a tough game we played. We played a really close
Speaker 1: game in Kansas City. It was it was a rough
Speaker 1: one and he was just talking to himself, pacing back
Speaker 1: and forth across the line. I was like, dude, this
Speaker 1: guy is crazy, completely different guy, and the public does
Speaker 1: not see that from class. But I never, I never
Speaker 1: like looked at his social media. I never saw the
Speaker 1: Jags media. The only Clais Campbell I saw was the
Speaker 1: one who would get in the backfield and hit somebody
Speaker 1: and who would get in somebody's face act like he
Speaker 1: wanted to throw hands. And so I thought that that's
Speaker 1: who Klais Campbell was. And then I came in the
Speaker 1: building and he was like, oh man, I'm so excited
Speaker 1: for what we got this year and who we can
Speaker 1: be as a team. And I was like, man like
Speaker 1: he seems like yeah. I was like, it's this is
Speaker 1: the same I mean, it has to be the same guy.
Speaker 1: There's not that many guys that big walking around in
Speaker 1: this thing, so I mean, it's the same guy. Maybe
Speaker 1: he had an intervention, like come to Jesus meeting and
Speaker 1: he just he is looking at the game differently. Have
Speaker 1: you always been that different on I mean, because people
Speaker 1: who see you at an event in the media, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I've always been like super nice. I mean I might
Speaker 1: sign the football field too, you know. Uh, like's not
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's on your team, he's nice. I mean,
Speaker 1: and like, so obviously you know, I'm competitive. I want
Speaker 1: to win, you know, and so like you know, when
Speaker 1: we're in a tough ball game and it's a it's
Speaker 1: a battle and it's going back and forth, you know,
Speaker 1: that's when I'm the most locked in and the most
Speaker 1: you know, ready for whatever. And I think that becomes
Speaker 1: you know, we're just wanting to win, you know, the competitiveness.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to like actual like off the
Speaker 1: field and stuff, I mean, I'm a happy go lucky guy,
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, enjoy life. Always got some
Speaker 1: on my face. You know, I want to spread love
Speaker 1: in the world. So you know, when it comes to
Speaker 1: football though, it's just the competitiveness comes out, you know.
Speaker 1: So unless I'm doing something competitive, the best guy trying
Speaker 1: to be the best guy can be. I've never asked
Speaker 1: this be for But did that start? You know? It
Speaker 1: seems like now ever since you've got here, you've had
Speaker 1: an appreciation for everything, meaning on the field, off field.
Speaker 1: And it's been my experience that guys as they get
Speaker 1: older in their career sort of embrace everything. But have
Speaker 1: you always enjoyed all the NFL meaning the opportunity to
Speaker 1: be in the community, the opportunity to meet with the media,
Speaker 1: to meet people. Has that always been your m O?
Speaker 1: Or has that come across later? Well? I gotta I
Speaker 1: had really good role models, you know. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Larry fitz Jerald is another guy who everybody raps about
Speaker 1: all the time because he's deserving of it, you know,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, being a rookie coming to watch
Speaker 1: and just see you know, the way he carried himself,
Speaker 1: way he interacted with the fans, the way he talked
Speaker 1: to the media the way he prepared, you know, outside
Speaker 1: of actually been on the field, I mean, the way
Speaker 1: he just was in the locker room, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a good guy to follow. You know, he's doing
Speaker 1: the right you know, and some other guys too. You know.
Speaker 1: It's just like, you know, Kurt Warner is another guy
Speaker 1: I got to sit next to on the plane as
Speaker 1: a rookie. You know, I really picked his brain, and
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, life is so much bigger
Speaker 1: than football. Like, yeah, football is incredible. I love it.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, since I was six years old,
Speaker 1: I've been in love with football, and I pitched myself
Speaker 1: every day that I get to do this for a living. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, but life has so much more to offer,
Speaker 1: you know, and so like, you know, just being on
Speaker 1: having this platform, being able to you know, affect the
Speaker 1: community in a positive way, you know, be able to
Speaker 1: communicate with kids and trying to inspire him, you know,
Speaker 1: being able to touch people's lives, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: this this platform is huge, you know, and especially like
Speaker 1: at the time like this, you know, and you know,
Speaker 1: the season hasn't really gone according to plan. You kind
Speaker 1: of you have to remember that, like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you could be a little frustrated because you
Speaker 1: had high expectations that you wanted to win. But at
Speaker 1: the end day, you know, like there's so still so
Speaker 1: much you can accomplish, you know, off off the field
Speaker 1: and even on the field. You know, just I mean
Speaker 1: trying to affect my teammates lives, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: make you know, value to them as people, you know,
Speaker 1: as men more than football. Alright, class, I know you've
Speaker 1: got to run a little bit early here, and you've
Speaker 1: been hosting Jaguars All Access Television. You've done a great
Speaker 1: job with that, and um, we appreciate you coming in
Speaker 1: on Chris's show today. This is his show. When it's
Speaker 1: your show, you can wear a highlighter shot. If it's
Speaker 1: not your show, they say no, don't wear that. Class.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you a little bit later. Man, good job.
Speaker 1: That's ready to go. We got we got more questions
Speaker 1: for Chris coming up. But let's take a look though
Speaker 1: at the FC playoff picture. Well there's go there goes
Speaker 1: Campbell everyone division leaders of course, uh in the hunt
Speaker 1: their Patriots Ravens, Texans chiefs wild card with the Bills
Speaker 1: and the Steelers. The in the hunt graphic on the
Speaker 1: right side, not where you want to be and certainly
Speaker 1: not near the bottom. And Chris, that's the cars that
Speaker 1: have been dealt this year, right, five games left. We
Speaker 1: heard that a lot today from Tom Coughlin. And there's
Speaker 1: still there's still time for this group that's in that
Speaker 1: locker room to come together and play some good football
Speaker 1: before the end of the seas stuff done right, for sure,
Speaker 1: there is time to play good football. There's time to
Speaker 1: learn a lot about what we have in this locker room,
Speaker 1: what these pieces have come together to become as a team.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to steal Klaisis Thumber thunder, But
Speaker 1: when things go bad, you have a tremendous opportunity to
Speaker 1: learn about yourself, and you have a tremendous opportunity to
Speaker 1: learn about your locker room. It's easy for guys to
Speaker 1: come together and work together when things go great. It's
Speaker 1: easy for guys to come together and say all the
Speaker 1: right things to the media when things are going great.
Speaker 1: It's a lot harder for you to stand there and
Speaker 1: do your job and be thankful and grateful for the
Speaker 1: opportunity that you have to work when things don't go
Speaker 1: your way. It's a lot harder to come out here
Speaker 1: and find the motivation to play through injury, to play
Speaker 1: when you're tired, and get everything out of yourself and
Speaker 1: your teammates when things aren't going the way that you planned.
Speaker 1: And so right now, that's what we're focusing on, is
Speaker 1: we're focusing on doing the little things. We're focusing on
Speaker 1: coming in here, studying, going out to practice, and taking
Speaker 1: things seriously to the point where we want to go
Speaker 1: out there and have competitive and dominant performances on Sunday.
Speaker 1: That doesn't change how the offense in recent weeks I
Speaker 1: know has not put points on the board the way
Speaker 1: you guys wanted to. Is there a feeling that it's close,
Speaker 1: and if so, what's sort of the thing needed to
Speaker 1: get it over the top? I think consistency across the
Speaker 1: board from all position groups. And for an offense to
Speaker 1: run like a well oiled machine, you have to have
Speaker 1: all guys clicking on all cylinders, running place correctly. You
Speaker 1: can't have a breakdown in protection, or you can't have
Speaker 1: a breakdown in the track that the running back takes,
Speaker 1: or a breakdown and a route concept where the receiver
Speaker 1: runs the wrong route at the wrong depth, or the
Speaker 1: quarterback misreads the coverage and the wrong check. You have
Speaker 1: to have everybody on the same page, and it seems
Speaker 1: like this last two weeks we've just had one or
Speaker 1: two guys off on these plays that are, you know,
Speaker 1: big time plays that can be monumental for the momentum
Speaker 1: a game. And so right now we're focusing on getting
Speaker 1: to those basics and really upping our communication to the
Speaker 1: point where we feel like we've had good communication from
Speaker 1: quarterback to receiver, but we want that kind of communication
Speaker 1: across the board for everybody to the line, from the
Speaker 1: center to the tight ends out on the edge. We're
Speaker 1: making those blocks, from the center to the running back,
Speaker 1: from the running backs to the line to the receivers.
Speaker 1: We want that kind of communication going on across the
Speaker 1: board so that we're all on the same page and
Speaker 1: we can make these plays and pressure situations, extend drives
Speaker 1: and get points. And you had some of that momentum,
Speaker 1: felt like early in the game last week, but a
Speaker 1: holding call here would stall a driver. Just one little
Speaker 1: thing happens like that, to your point, one one little
Speaker 1: detail that's not right or goes the wrong way for you,
Speaker 1: and that can stall everything earlier. Actually, some of those
Speaker 1: things that you can control. Some of those things you
Speaker 1: control by replacing your hands, getting them inside some of them.
Speaker 1: Some of them you can't. Some of them. Those are
Speaker 1: football plays, and depending on the crew, the crew could
Speaker 1: be a crew that likes to call offensive holding on
Speaker 1: some plays that are really in a gray area, and
Speaker 1: we had we had one of those, so you can't
Speaker 1: really do anything about that. But when that does happen,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to come together and dig
Speaker 1: yourself out of those holes because those are gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Those are gonna happen. But really, we don't want to
Speaker 1: put ourselves behind the sticks. We don't want to make
Speaker 1: it third and long when it could have been third
Speaker 1: and manageable. Uh. It really changes the way that you
Speaker 1: have to attack your game plan when you're in third
Speaker 1: and eleven plus, and that's just not where we want
Speaker 1: to be. It was a remarkably subtle way of saying
Speaker 1: that was a bag. Yes, I can't say, but I mean,
Speaker 1: you run that play three years ago that doesn't get called,
Speaker 1: I might get fined. I'm probably gonna get fined now.
Speaker 1: But that's just that the game changes, and each of
Speaker 1: these crews have tendencies and they call the game the
Speaker 1: way that they want to call the game. And and
Speaker 1: sometimes there's a situation where somebody Sometimes you block somebody
Speaker 1: too good, Sometimes you block somebody too good. And the
Speaker 1: league is getting to a point now where they don't
Speaker 1: want you to necessarily dominate somebody with a block. And
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard. Sometimes you gotta layoff a little bit.
Speaker 1: We've the last couple of weeks, we've heard from Nick
Speaker 1: Foles after these games, and we're starting if we didn't
Speaker 1: realize before who Nick Foles is, we're starting to realize
Speaker 1: now that he is a super consistent with his message
Speaker 1: and the way he goes about his business. No matter
Speaker 1: the results, no matter how it goes, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. And that's who he has always been, right,
Speaker 1: Chris always, that's no matter the criticisms, been the same guy,
Speaker 1: um And he's only grown since that. And he's grown
Speaker 1: to a point where that's the reason that guys can
Speaker 1: in this locker room and in that huddle get behind
Speaker 1: him and say, hey, we're gonna out here and we're
Speaker 1: gonna make it happen. Regardless of what the score is,
Speaker 1: because people believe in that and they see that authenticity
Speaker 1: and they'll follow it um But that that message is
Speaker 1: one that regardless of what happens, you know, he comes
Speaker 1: out here and cranks off, you know, five straight wins,
Speaker 1: that message is going to be exactly the same. It's
Speaker 1: gonna stay even you're not gonna see a guy who's
Speaker 1: elated or excited. It's going to be that consistent message
Speaker 1: of coming in here to work, love and his brothers
Speaker 1: and trusting people because that's the culture that he comes from,
Speaker 1: and that's the culture that he wants to emanate and
Speaker 1: to build around him. And if you have that kind
Speaker 1: of culture, it doesn't matter what the score is in
Speaker 1: the game. You can come back and you can make
Speaker 1: things happen, or you can go up big and you know,
Speaker 1: put things together. But it all starts. It all starts
Speaker 1: from having people who believe in each other, who trust
Speaker 1: each other, you know, on all the days of the
Speaker 1: week leading up to Sunday, favorite Thanksgiving food, favorite Thanksgiving food.
Speaker 1: I'm a mac and cheese guy. See someone consider are
Speaker 1: that not a traditional Thanksgiving? I'm sorry, I'm African American.
Speaker 1: It's a Thanksgiving, and I realized that some people make
Speaker 1: it different. You know. I was watching a video last year.
Speaker 1: There was actually a meme and it was just saying
Speaker 1: like the cultural differences and Thanksgiving foods, and it was like,
Speaker 1: I guess Rachel Ratio and she was making mac and
Speaker 1: cheese and she was like cutting up vegetables and like
Speaker 1: putting vegetables in the mac and cheese, and like everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: this looks so good, this looks awesome. In the one
Speaker 1: African American lady in there is just silent the whole time,
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, I've never seen this before. It doesn't
Speaker 1: say a word, but yeah, you know, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: if you want to put nuts and vegetables in your
Speaker 1: mac and cheese, go ahead. We'll be seeing that in
Speaker 1: my house. But you know, mac and cheese is it's
Speaker 1: a dish that I believe is is integral to holidays.
Speaker 1: It might be more of a Southern thing. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure people in the South put step in Macaranian che
Speaker 1: I've never seen. You just need cheese and mac, that's
Speaker 1: all we need. If you do it, ain't touching my plate.
Speaker 1: That lobster mac and cheese is good too, now that
Speaker 1: I'm on the coast. You know. Hey, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'll be making that myself, but I do enjoy
Speaker 1: good lobster mac and cheese. Um. Hey, I have a
Speaker 1: great holiday. I have a good day off. We'll see
Speaker 1: you back here on Friday. Well done. Chris Conley, Jaguar's
Speaker 1: wide receiver, joins us every Wednesday. I have a great holiday.
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving to you. Will catch you next time. It's
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour, presented by the Fields Auto Group on
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network.
