Speaker 1: Celebrating twenty five years of Jaguar's football man. He looked,
Speaker 1: he's had it sacked. Football is out. You're gonna beat
Speaker 1: New York guys. It is Thursday, September twenty six. This
Speaker 1: is Jackuars Happy Hour and now a guy who will
Speaker 1: host your event for food. Jay Peace, Shadrack Me welcome
Speaker 1: in Jaguars Happy Our, JP Shaddrick, Jeff Logum and Leon
Speaker 1: Searcy for the next hour. What's up, guys, what's up?
Speaker 1: I got a feeling that there's something to that. Are
Speaker 1: you okay? We don't need to dolve to why not?
Speaker 1: Why not? Let's go let's go down that road. J
Speaker 1: It's quite okay. He's not wrong. He's not wrong when
Speaker 1: I'm referring to is hosting of events for food. It's okay,
Speaker 1: all right, you don't want to go. No, we we
Speaker 1: just went there. But that's okay. Let's move away from there.
Speaker 1: Here's just coming up with you though. I do it
Speaker 1: for food too. Food got to be good on the
Speaker 1: program today. Of course, the Ramsey response after everything that
Speaker 1: has happened this week, Jala Ramsey away from the football team,
Speaker 1: mintshu Mania continues, We'll break it all down Jaguars Broncos
Speaker 1: preview will peak around the National Football League as well,
Speaker 1: and of course, in an hour from now five o'clock,
Speaker 1: the Doug Marone Show will hear from the head coach
Speaker 1: live in studio. Let's start with a Dealer Ramsey situation
Speaker 1: this week and what a week it has been called
Speaker 1: out sick on Monday, players are off Tuesday. Anyway, a
Speaker 1: sore back was on the report Wednesday, did not practice
Speaker 1: and then off to Nashville Wednesday night, and an announcement
Speaker 1: from head coach Doug Moron for the birth of his
Speaker 1: second child and no real timetable one when he will
Speaker 1: be back with this football team. What a week it's
Speaker 1: been around Dealer Ramsey. Guys, they'll see one likeness. No, never,
Speaker 1: especially in my era. I've never seen anything. I'm just saying, listen,
Speaker 1: I was talking about this earlier to day. I mean
Speaker 1: in I just signed with the Jaguars. My my wife
Speaker 1: was pregnant with my second daughter, Kenya, just born September nine,
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the season. Okay, I went
Speaker 1: there and make sure she was okay. So the birth
Speaker 1: of my daughter, make sure my wife was good. And
Speaker 1: then next day I'm at practice. I'm at practice because
Speaker 1: if I had taken any more days off than one day,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Lockerman was in that locker room too,
Speaker 1: he would have said, certainly, what's the deal, broke, We're
Speaker 1: trying to win the football game. How are you taking
Speaker 1: two or three days off a paternity? Did you deliver
Speaker 1: the baby? I mean, I know him, I know the
Speaker 1: guys in that locker room, trust me, So you listen, listen.
Speaker 1: I understand that family and kids trump football. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: absolutely family, kids trump football. So I understand it. But
Speaker 1: if this was if this was relayed to us on Monday,
Speaker 1: you know, before the sickness and before with the back
Speaker 1: and all the stuff, that we will be having this
Speaker 1: conversation if you if it came out of money, hey listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be I probably want to make the
Speaker 1: game because I'm gonna see my my girlfriends and my
Speaker 1: second child going to Nashville. Maybe it's understandable. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about the whole week and missing the game, but
Speaker 1: you know, missing a few practices. I would have understood
Speaker 1: that if this it came out first, but it didn't,
Speaker 1: so it looks kind of odd. It's just it's just
Speaker 1: I think it's the compilation of everything together that I
Speaker 1: think kind of makes the whole situation odd, because I mean,
Speaker 1: you you go back to you have the incident in Houston,
Speaker 1: and then you have the the request for a trade
Speaker 1: and uh, and then you have a bizarre press conference
Speaker 1: and then you have a postgame interview to where there's
Speaker 1: not really you don't learn anything from it, you don't
Speaker 1: understand anything from it. And then the next thing you know,
Speaker 1: he's got the flu. And then once he gets back
Speaker 1: from the flu, and there are reports that he was
Speaker 1: in l A around that same time. And then also
Speaker 1: you come back and he doesn't practice, and then he
Speaker 1: doesn't pry, just send an all of a sudden statements
Speaker 1: released by the team and that he's off to be
Speaker 1: there for the birth of his second child, which look,
Speaker 1: I'm all four of that kind of thing, but but
Speaker 1: all together, it just it just makes it look odd.
Speaker 1: And I think the one thing I think that's very
Speaker 1: apparent because when you when you talk to all the
Speaker 1: different fans that are in Jacksonville, and Leon knows this
Speaker 1: very well, he kind of got called out a little
Speaker 1: bit on it today and that you have some fans
Speaker 1: that think Jalen is in the right, and you have
Speaker 1: some that wants to, uh that thinks the teams in
Speaker 1: the right, that managements in the right, that that Doug
Speaker 1: Maron is okay. But then there's people you know that
Speaker 1: want to some group blames Jalen, some blame Doug Maron,
Speaker 1: some blame Tom Coughlin, some blame Dave Caldwell. So you
Speaker 1: have this huge diversity of opinion or should I say
Speaker 1: divisiveness of opinion in the community. Well, guess what the
Speaker 1: locker room is. But it's about the same thing. It's
Speaker 1: it's the same way, it's the same way. It's no
Speaker 1: different than what the fan base's opinions are. And I
Speaker 1: guarantee you that the locker room right now is number
Speaker 1: One tired of answering questions about Jalen Ramsey, tired of
Speaker 1: dealing with the issues of Jalen Ramsey. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: that they want some resolution one way or the other
Speaker 1: more so than anybody else because it's their football team
Speaker 1: and it's it's becoming a distraction. And in here here,
Speaker 1: here's how I would be if I was Jaialen's teammate. One.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of it. Number two, I'm tired of answering
Speaker 1: questions about it. And number three, are you with us
Speaker 1: or are you not with us? Because we've got we've
Speaker 1: got a football season to play. It's not like it's
Speaker 1: a lost season yet either. I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: season where there's some hope and you know, they have
Speaker 1: a little momentum right now. It feels like you know,
Speaker 1: an offense. To me, that's the last one is the
Speaker 1: biggest thing. M If you don't want to be with us, fine,
Speaker 1: when go go, let me go. We'll be fine without you.
Speaker 1: But I mean that would hurt me if I'm a
Speaker 1: member of this team and that I've got we got
Speaker 1: a guy on our team don't want to be with it.
Speaker 1: Dude don't want to be here. He doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be here with his brothers. And you know, and look,
Speaker 1: the head coach can talk about how much jail and
Speaker 1: loves football all he wants that he has, Yes, but
Speaker 1: you gotta love your teammates and want to be with
Speaker 1: your teammates. Yeah, listen, list Winning football games is it's
Speaker 1: hard enough to do in the NFL weekend and week out,
Speaker 1: you know, because you you do with a lot of
Speaker 1: factors doing injuries, you deal with game planning, you deal
Speaker 1: with players, this, this and that. So to have someone
Speaker 1: there was supposed to be your teammates, supposed to be
Speaker 1: your brother in arms, supposed to be there with you,
Speaker 1: creating problem in DISSENTI within the locker room. And I
Speaker 1: don't know, listen, we do on'tly speculating and I'm sure
Speaker 1: or this guy's there who like on jailing side of
Speaker 1: these guys there or Tiler jailing. But that's the devisive
Speaker 1: this and at its best, And listen, I was on
Speaker 1: the team in ninety six. You remember this, Jeff, the
Speaker 1: ninety six that the whole thing where uh Andre Rising.
Speaker 1: The whole issue with Andre Rising, there was a clear
Speaker 1: division in that locker room between Andre Risen whether we
Speaker 1: should keep them or let them go, and the locker
Speaker 1: room was separated, and the best thing for the team
Speaker 1: at that particular time was to get rid of Rising
Speaker 1: because there was a dissension and we were trying to
Speaker 1: go go into the season and win football games. So
Speaker 1: anytime you got a guy who is clearly the decisive
Speaker 1: in the creating division in the locking room, the management
Speaker 1: has to make up with the mind and say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep dealing with these issues, or we're gonna
Speaker 1: part ways from it, try to start winning some football games,
Speaker 1: and then don't. I don't want anybody to misconstrue what
Speaker 1: what me and Leon our opinion about jailing. As far
Speaker 1: as look, if you're sick, you're sick. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: argue that. If it's legitimate and you're sick, you're sick. Uh,
Speaker 1: injuries happened on the National Football League. And if you
Speaker 1: can't practice, you get a debt. That's nothing that's uncommon
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And then if if you
Speaker 1: are going out of town to be there for the
Speaker 1: birth of your second shop, I'm all for that, and
Speaker 1: Leon's all for that. I mean, that's Look, there's nothing
Speaker 1: more important than family. I mean, because you know what,
Speaker 1: when when it's thirty years down the road and you're
Speaker 1: sitting there looking back, going, boy, I really should have
Speaker 1: been there at practice instead of there for the birth
Speaker 1: of my child, and you're not gonna say that It's
Speaker 1: more important to be there, you know, for your your wife, girlfriend,
Speaker 1: birth of your child and those type of things. I mean,
Speaker 1: so I'm all for that, but it feels it feels
Speaker 1: odd and it's kind of the going to Nashville things
Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of open ended, right is is
Speaker 1: he is he going there for a day or two
Speaker 1: and then he's gonna come back and be able to
Speaker 1: be their first teammates. Is he gonna be there and
Speaker 1: then maybe played by Ear? I mean, Howard works out,
Speaker 1: It works out, But it's just everything I think together
Speaker 1: and it's entire I think makes the whole situation odd.
Speaker 1: And then you go back to the to the root
Speaker 1: issue here or the root issues. The root issue for
Speaker 1: the team I think should be that you have a
Speaker 1: player that put his hands on the coach and that
Speaker 1: still hasn't been has been addressed, hasn't been addressed. And
Speaker 1: then the root issue apparently from jail and side of things,
Speaker 1: that his displeasure with management, Well, we don't get to
Speaker 1: hear from management. Has jail and had a conversation with management.
Speaker 1: Has there been a gathering of those people to maybe
Speaker 1: see if things can can work out. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: just so much that is still kind of unanswered, so
Speaker 1: to speak, or that the the loose ends haven't been
Speaker 1: tied up, so to speak, that you're just kind of
Speaker 1: going what is going on? And uh, and it just
Speaker 1: kind of leaves you hanging. Well. Now it leaves the
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator hanging as well. Todd Wash has to figure
Speaker 1: out a couple of different ways to go about this game.
Speaker 1: Will he have Jalen will he not have Jalen on
Speaker 1: Sunday is a big question for him. He does know
Speaker 1: he's confident in the guy who would take Jalen's place.
Speaker 1: That's Trey Herndon. I even asked the dB coaches yesterday,
Speaker 1: I said, does he ever talk? Um? You know? But
Speaker 1: what he does is he does He comes in, works, um,
Speaker 1: he prepares, and anything that he is given by the
Speaker 1: position coaches or whatever it may be, he's going out
Speaker 1: there and he's going to do it the best of
Speaker 1: his ability. Um. You know, you've got to give a
Speaker 1: lot of credit to the kid, obviously coming in as
Speaker 1: a college free agent. How he's improved so much, you know,
Speaker 1: and not only can he play outside, he's our backup
Speaker 1: nicol um, you know, and we feel very very comfortable
Speaker 1: with him playing either spot, either outside or inside. So
Speaker 1: it's a lot of credit to to him, and you
Speaker 1: know where he's made himself now. So of course, the
Speaker 1: the statement from Dug bron last night said he'll return
Speaker 1: to the team when he's ready. That's Jalen Ramsey, and
Speaker 1: we'll provide an update at that time. So what does
Speaker 1: that mean. That might mean that Trey Herndon gets to
Speaker 1: play on Sunday in Denver. How did Trey Herndon play
Speaker 1: the last time about two weeks ago? I thought two
Speaker 1: weeks ago that that he played well enough and that
Speaker 1: was going back to the Houston game correct when he
Speaker 1: filled it for I thought that he played well enough
Speaker 1: that because of the way that boy played in the
Speaker 1: first game that you would go, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: Trey hern is maybe making a case that he should
Speaker 1: get maybe some playing time. And uh so I thought
Speaker 1: he played well and he had a pretty tough task
Speaker 1: because he's had to cover Stills and also Will four
Speaker 1: the fifth and in that ball game, which those two
Speaker 1: guys have some pretty good speed. I think he did
Speaker 1: a pretty good job overall. And so do I feel
Speaker 1: good about him playing this week? Yes? I feel good
Speaker 1: about him. I don't think the Broncos have a receiver
Speaker 1: that scares you, and Joe Flacco is not playing that well.
Speaker 1: So is this a game that you could that you
Speaker 1: could live without? Jalen Randy. Sure, but is it? Is
Speaker 1: it uh step down in talent level from Trey Herndon
Speaker 1: Gentleman Ramsey. I mean, yeah, everybody knows that. I mean
Speaker 1: it's genman. Ramsey's one of one of the best in
Speaker 1: the league and that that's no argument there. But this
Speaker 1: vie one leon where you know, if let's just hypothetically
Speaker 1: say the baby comes on today, we don't we don't
Speaker 1: know the timetable or tomorrow, and then he gets on
Speaker 1: a private jet Saturday from Nashville and goes to Denver
Speaker 1: and joins the team and plays on Sunday. Could that
Speaker 1: even be possible? It could be I could like at
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders type of thing. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: that if he has that in his repertoire, but if
Speaker 1: I mean, that would show he's a team player if
Speaker 1: he does, If if he sees the birth of his
Speaker 1: child and he size on Friday, I'm gonna go see
Speaker 1: the team on Saturday, and I'm gonna I don't see
Speaker 1: how the Jaguar wouldn't play him on Sunday. Listen, as
Speaker 1: much as hern is getting the opportunity to play, you know,
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey gives the best chance to win. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's the best dB in the country. You know, he
Speaker 1: first half, the one side of the field is completely
Speaker 1: shut down when you've got that guy in there. So
Speaker 1: if you can have them play, you have them play.
Speaker 1: But you know this hern is getting the tremendous opportunity
Speaker 1: to play. So let's see if he makes the most
Speaker 1: of But I would be surprised. I would be shot.
Speaker 1: I would too. Who who knows? You still know at
Speaker 1: this point, I mean, this is taking so many twists
Speaker 1: and turns already. Wouldn't that be another one? Another one
Speaker 1: of those moments to where you just kind of go, hmm,
Speaker 1: what was that so proper called these are the days
Speaker 1: of our lives? This is it? This is it? This
Speaker 1: is what we used to watch that back Yeah, days
Speaker 1: of our lives? Okay, yeah, that was that was back
Speaker 1: you know college only on when you had that little
Speaker 1: bit of free time between classes and you know classes.
Speaker 1: You know what we used to go to at u
Speaker 1: v A. Yeah, I went to class really breaking news.
Speaker 1: We used to have a couple of guys and we
Speaker 1: used to watch that. I mean, it was like the
Speaker 1: only thing that was on television, three channels exactly three

Speaker 1: the second Jaguars quarterback. Earlier this week, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on a Thursday, J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logum,
Speaker 1: and Leon Searcy from Jalen Ramsey to Gardner Minshew And
Speaker 1: who wasn't for the Ramsey stuff, he would be the
Speaker 1: top Jaguars story nationally. He's still a big story nationally
Speaker 1: after what he's done in two games and three quarters
Speaker 1: worth of football here, how long does this thing last
Speaker 1: for Gardner? Uh, He's gonna look like a rookie at
Speaker 1: some point, right, Honestly, I keep waiting for him to
Speaker 1: look like a rookie, and I keep waiting for it.
Speaker 1: And um, I made the prediction when Jaguars are going
Speaker 1: to Houston and our little expert column, you know that
Speaker 1: John Oshan puts together with everybody's thoughts on the game,
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, this might be tough for
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback going in to a hostile environment with
Speaker 1: a veteran defensive coordinator like Romeo Cornell. And and he's
Speaker 1: probably gonna look like a rookie because the metrics showed
Speaker 1: that they usually don't have success on the road and
Speaker 1: their first start ever. Well played pretty well when he
Speaker 1: had to. Yes, a lot of that game the offense sputtered,
Speaker 1: but if it mattered, he got him down the field twice.
Speaker 1: You know. Then then all of a sudden, prime time
Speaker 1: on a short week against the division rival, and he
Speaker 1: comes out and and I don't want to say that
Speaker 1: he was lights out and Patrick Mahomes, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he was that, but he was good, and he was
Speaker 1: doing some things and identification and and the way he
Speaker 1: reads plays that it you don't see that by rookies.
Speaker 1: Now for example, and Leon, you might remember this play,
Speaker 1: the touchdown to chart. He literally he gets the snap
Speaker 1: and as soon as he gets the snap, he looks
Speaker 1: to his right. And why is he looking to his right,
Speaker 1: because you gotta you gotta center field safety and he's
Speaker 1: trying to hold so he's he knows where he's going
Speaker 1: with the football, gets the snap, looks right, freezes the
Speaker 1: safety or he's trying the quote unquote move. The safety
Speaker 1: with his eyes comes back and throws a touchdown the
Speaker 1: chart and the safety has no chance if he can
Speaker 1: getting over there. And I'm gonna show that tonight on
Speaker 1: Jaguars all access, because I mean, you don't see a
Speaker 1: rookie doing now. No, No, The best thing about Garden
Speaker 1: to ensue to me is that he's a six down,
Speaker 1: a sixth round rookie in the big boy league of
Speaker 1: the NFL, and he's not supposed to be doing this,
Speaker 1: and he's doing that. So don't don't tell him that
Speaker 1: he's not supposed to be doing this. He's not supposed
Speaker 1: to be having over seventy completion he's not supposed to
Speaker 1: have five and five touchdowns and one and this one interception.
Speaker 1: One interception wasn't even he wasn't even hit fault. And
Speaker 1: he should have six touchdowns because you know, a touchdown
Speaker 1: was dropping the ends on seven, seven and seven. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're right, seven, he should have had seven. Doesn't get
Speaker 1: a blocked yeah, oh boy, he doesn't get the block
Speaker 1: and he can't find markets. We're gonna look at that
Speaker 1: one or so. I think. I think that's the best
Speaker 1: thing going for this kid, because initially when he came
Speaker 1: into the k C game, I thought the kid was
Speaker 1: playing with house money. Nobody really expect him to go
Speaker 1: in there and doing any thing. Whatever. He gets his
Speaker 1: first start against the Texans, starts slow gets into the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, gives us an opportunity. Drives down not only
Speaker 1: with it's on with his legs. We're scrambling to get
Speaker 1: that first down, and what it gives us an opportunity
Speaker 1: to win. Then on prime time, prime time against the Titans,
Speaker 1: the team that we hadn't beat. What five tries, six
Speaker 1: tries or whatever. He goes in there wasn't lights out,
Speaker 1: but Listen goes through his progressions, makes that that past
Speaker 1: the DD Westbrook. Everybody talked about him when he came
Speaker 1: out of the combine that he didn't have that NFL arm,
Speaker 1: but he made that throw. He made that throw over
Speaker 1: two defenders. Then that touched down the chark and the
Speaker 1: end zone. So the kid, the kid is playing. You know,
Speaker 1: I like to refer this to poker because I enjoyed poker.
Speaker 1: You know, I got two jacks in my hand right now,
Speaker 1: and the flop there's a jack. I'm gonna play my chips.
Speaker 1: I'm not all in on mynsue right now, but each week,
Speaker 1: each week, I'm gonna start keep bedding. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: keep mins you until I'm all in. Right now, Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm putting my chips in from mansue every week into
Speaker 1: until he proves me. It's he's different, though, I mean
Speaker 1: it's you know, Doug Brown keeps using the word he's different.
Speaker 1: He's different, he's different while he's different because he's a
Speaker 1: six round pick and he's having success in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. When's the last time the six round pick
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback or any late round pick quarterback has ever
Speaker 1: had success right out of the Gateland National Football League.
Speaker 1: I don't know who his first year wasn't his first
Speaker 1: year starting, I'm not sure. I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think it was rookie. That's the only comparison I can
Speaker 1: think of. But Tom didn't. He did do this as
Speaker 1: rookie yet, and I don't. I want to make sure
Speaker 1: that we don't give ourselves a speeding ticket here. I mean,
Speaker 1: the offense is averaging about nineteen points a game and
Speaker 1: they but but here's here's the other thing. What kind
Speaker 1: of a running game has minshew? A rookie quarterback had
Speaker 1: to support? Not much of a running game? Now, I mean,
Speaker 1: prior to the sixty nine yard run, if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: he was fourteen carries for minus yardage in four net.
Speaker 1: So if you get a better running game or a
Speaker 1: more successful running game. What can that do for the
Speaker 1: performance of your quarterback in the passing him? It would
Speaker 1: naturally make it easier or better. And so he's been
Speaker 1: able to do some of these things seventy plus completion percentage,
Speaker 1: protecting the football um, protecting himself, not taking sacks, not
Speaker 1: getting delay of games, not using timeouts unnecessarily, which is
Speaker 1: probably those things are probably more impressive than anything else,
Speaker 1: just the management of the offense, because you're talking about
Speaker 1: a rookie, and and I want to make sure I
Speaker 1: say this because it's not all about minsheu either. Yeah.
Speaker 1: First of all, he's got to have a great supporting cast.
Speaker 1: I think Lender's helping him out. I think the receivers
Speaker 1: certainly are helping him out of d J. Chark has
Speaker 1: been amazing. In fact, he should be a big as
Speaker 1: big a story as Minshew should be. But the coaching
Speaker 1: staff John D. Filipp Of the job that he has
Speaker 1: been able to do with Gardner Minshew, I think is impressive.
Speaker 1: Scott Milanovitch, the quarterbacks coach, Uh, those guys cannot be
Speaker 1: their their performance or effort cannot be underestimated in the
Speaker 1: success of Gardner, Minshew, how need to start the run
Speaker 1: game on the offensive line? What we asked you guys
Speaker 1: about this this week. But just from the outside looking
Speaker 1: at well, I mean, listen, the run game is not
Speaker 1: established on Sunday. The run games established the week before
Speaker 1: the game. There's a mindset. I mean, you've got to
Speaker 1: go into a game on Sunday with the mindset that
Speaker 1: you want to run the football whatever you need to
Speaker 1: do as offense, as an offensive line. I know when
Speaker 1: we was here, when me and but Sully was here,
Speaker 1: I mean, as as phanombenal of a passing team. We
Speaker 1: were with Mark Ronelle and Jimmy Smith and Keena a
Speaker 1: car there we were literally come off to the sideline
Speaker 1: and say run the ball. You know, because enough of
Speaker 1: this passing. Did you say, well, I left. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if you say I'm not sure if you say damn.
Speaker 1: But when you say run the damn ball, Okay, So
Speaker 1: you come to the sideline and say run the down ball.
Speaker 1: And then we had phenomenal athletes. You have phenomenal players
Speaker 1: on our team. But it's a mindset, listen. We used
Speaker 1: to we used to gather together as a group with
Speaker 1: the offensive line and the running backs, and we will
Speaker 1: watch the film together. We will watch the film and
Speaker 1: we would say that says, okay, okay, here's a hole here,
Speaker 1: here's a whole here. You know, because the meeting potatoes
Speaker 1: of your run game is your two guards in your center,
Speaker 1: your ability to the double team that want to get
Speaker 1: to the mic, and your ability to the single block
Speaker 1: the three technique and running in between the tackles. So
Speaker 1: that that has got to be established by this team.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna run the ball entirely, you've got to
Speaker 1: establish that. But that doesn't happen overnight. It happens Wednesday, Thursday.
Speaker 1: Fried in whatever drills you're doing. As whatever drills you're
Speaker 1: doing his offensive line, as far as get offs, stand low,
Speaker 1: being physical with your hands, bending your knees, rolling your hips,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, you've got to incorporate that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff in your offense of coordinating the offensive line,
Speaker 1: course say look, we got to get this game going
Speaker 1: because we've got to help this kid. Because the offensive
Speaker 1: line gets a running game going, this kid is gonna
Speaker 1: be even more phenomenal. Man Doug Bronch talked UH a
Speaker 1: couple of different times and mentioned the offensive line needing
Speaker 1: to get better. I'm a big believer that it's not
Speaker 1: just about the offensive line. I'm a big believer that
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett has got to be better too, and there's
Speaker 1: some holes that he missed that he could have created
Speaker 1: some things for the offense if he's got better vision.
Speaker 1: A lot of times people say, well, why why is
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette doing the short steps, which indicates he and
Speaker 1: there's a term for that, and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: use the term for it, but it's it's stepping gingerly.
Speaker 1: I'll just say that. And and for me, that means
Speaker 1: that he he's indecisive and where he wants to run
Speaker 1: the ball when he's pitter pattery, and that's another way
Speaker 1: to describe it. And if his vision gets better or
Speaker 1: is better, then he can be more to iceive and
Speaker 1: then you're not seeing the pitter patter of the feet.
Speaker 1: So the running game is always a shared deal. It's
Speaker 1: from the offensive line to the running backs and tight ends.
Speaker 1: You gotta include them in there. And and there's no
Speaker 1: fullbacks in that mix because they're part of the tight
Speaker 1: ends too. But everybody's got to be better, and if
Speaker 1: anybody wants to sit there and point the finger at
Speaker 1: one area of concern that why it's not working. Then
Speaker 1: they're mistaken because that's not how it works. Well it
Speaker 1: started with the old line. But yeah, but also also,
Speaker 1: and you're saying that about Lenarly the pitopad and whatever.
Speaker 1: If he's not used to seeing holes, he doesn't know
Speaker 1: where they're going to be there, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So so if if you if you're not consistently giving
Speaker 1: him holes of what they call it daily running to daylight,
Speaker 1: then he's going to be pitopad of waiting for it
Speaker 1: to happen. So if the offensive line, I'm gonna always
Speaker 1: be on the offense line at the offensive line with
Speaker 1: a little bit more consistent in creating holes. So let
Speaker 1: it can see him because you know, at times it's
Speaker 1: I think it's vision just questionable at time, just being honest,
Speaker 1: doubt about Philip Lindsay. And watched Philip Lindsay and he's
Speaker 1: a hun pound five ft but eight back something like that,
Speaker 1: and all a sudden he's like he's got great vision.
Speaker 1: And that's something that that Leonard doesn't have. And and
Speaker 1: that's why you remember we had was two years ago
Speaker 1: we were talking about this debate, what what kind of
Speaker 1: scheme does Leonard Bournett need to run? In a gap
Speaker 1: scheme or a zone scheme. Well, and the consensus was
Speaker 1: he needs to run a gap scheme, you know, had
Speaker 1: the full back in front and then have a defined
Speaker 1: hole because when you have a defined hole, that's the
Speaker 1: momentum and he's gonna hit it. Well, the zone scheme
Speaker 1: is that's where you gotta have vision as a back.
Speaker 1: I mean Terrell Davis, the Thurman Thomas is some of
Speaker 1: the great backs in the National Football League. Philip Lindsay
Speaker 1: has great vision to run a zone type of scheme
Speaker 1: and that's not That's not leonards forte is the zone scheme.
Speaker 1: And the reason I don't think that that's his forte
Speaker 1: is I don't think he has that great vision that
Speaker 1: a back needs to have to run that type of scheme.
Speaker 1: And and I hope that you know, the offensive line
Speaker 1: can do a better job to make it easier for
Speaker 1: him to be decisive. And uh, and the other thing
Speaker 1: I will say this, why not give a couple of
Speaker 1: totes to rock m So that's yeah. Letard played has
Speaker 1: played one hundred and sixties seven snaps out of one
Speaker 1: hundred seventy seven on offense this season. He's only missed
Speaker 1: ten snaps all season. On snaps, well, look, I get
Speaker 1: him credit like he's been. He's been really good and
Speaker 1: past protection, which is what they wanted him to be.
Speaker 1: I mean, in fact, this past game, I mean he
Speaker 1: was flat out mean in past protection, which is for him,
Speaker 1: which been really positive. And uh, and he's been very
Speaker 1: good out of the backfield. He's got I think a
Speaker 1: couple of drops, but uh, but I mean overall, I
Speaker 1: think he's been very effective. He's been uh, in tune
Speaker 1: with everything they need to do, you know. But I mean,
Speaker 1: you got a draft pick in Armstead, and and especially
Speaker 1: like that after the long run, you got a sixty
Speaker 1: nine yard run. Okay, now put an arm dead and
Speaker 1: let Leonard have an opportunity to catch his breath. Because
Speaker 1: the plays that he had after that long run we're
Speaker 1: not that great. I think he scores him a long
Speaker 1: run if he's not worn out either, well maybe I
Speaker 1: don't don't remember anybody ever catching him. Maybe not. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: he's incredibly fast. I mean, I mean, there's no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. And so I mean, you don't give give
Speaker 1: Armstead an opportunity and unless see where it goes. And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying take away of the carries for four, No,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, you know, seventy five five or eighty twenty,
Speaker 1: I mean why not? Yeah, but he's been outstanding on
Speaker 1: that bliss picked up ye. You know what a wiokie
Speaker 1: quarterback with a rookie quarterback, you know, the defence coordinate
Speaker 1: is gonna put some heat on him. So he's been
Speaker 1: picking up on those Blisses real well. Speaking of heat, um,
Speaker 1: guess what's on the menu this week? Um? From the

Speaker 1: can't put my finger on it. Um, but but the

Speaker 1: here at head coach done Browne has been sho Mania.
Speaker 1: In the next hour the Done Rone Show coming up
Speaker 1: at five o'clock, celebrating twenty five years of Jaguars football.
Speaker 1: Just gotta teas going to the touchdown. Jaguars Thanks beat
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Well about Jaguars Happy Hour, j P Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Leon Searcy, Jeff Logan, glad you will us Jags and
Speaker 1: the Broncos coming up Sunday for five Eastern Time Kick
Speaker 1: got actual and sullivant with the update. There, yeah, men,
Speaker 1: hu Mania as kind of tell you the if you're
Speaker 1: on radio listening to us. Brandon Lender at the end
Speaker 1: of the interview put his finger over his upper lip
Speaker 1: as if he had a mustache. That was part of
Speaker 1: the deal. There. Um. Now to the other side, and
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos are oh and three and they have
Speaker 1: not had a takeaway on defense. They have not had
Speaker 1: a sack on defense this year. Von Miller still plays
Speaker 1: for the football team. Bradley Chubb had twelve and a
Speaker 1: half sacks a year ago. He's now in his second season.
Speaker 1: He's been held out of there this year. How far
Speaker 1: away are they from some of these logs. Well, let
Speaker 1: me say this about how rare it is for a
Speaker 1: team to go three games into the season without a sack,
Speaker 1: without a takeaway. It's never happened before. Ever, never happened,
Speaker 1: which I think is sacks started becoming a stato. So
Speaker 1: incredibly rare and uh. They are two phenomenal players on
Speaker 1: the edge, both Chub and Miller, and I think a
Speaker 1: big part of their lack of pressure their offense has
Speaker 1: only scored like fifteen points a game and Joe Flacco
Speaker 1: has not been very good. Yeah, so uh to rush
Speaker 1: the pass or you gotta have a little bit of
Speaker 1: a lead. For example, look at the Jaguars this past game.
Speaker 1: You get two scores, bang, bang, and you're up fourteen
Speaker 1: and nothing. And now all of a sudden, the opponent
Speaker 1: feels a little bit of a need to throw the football.
Speaker 1: And you have a defense that has had zero sacks
Speaker 1: from their defensive line prior to that game on Thursday night,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they break out for eight
Speaker 1: and a half on the defensive line in one game
Speaker 1: because it got a fourteen point lead early in that
Speaker 1: ball game. And the Broncos have not had that for
Speaker 1: their team yet. And you know it's gonna come at
Speaker 1: some point. Obviously, you don't want it to happen this week.
Speaker 1: But Leon, if you are, let's say you're right tackle
Speaker 1: and here's Von Miller, three time All Pro, multiple Pro
Speaker 1: bowler on the other side, who hasn't had a sack yet.
Speaker 1: What do you prepare for if you're wanting what do
Speaker 1: I do? What I ask for? A run the ball?
Speaker 1: Run the ball first, exactly. Listen, you've got to be
Speaker 1: able to run the ball against von Miller, because if
Speaker 1: you become a one dimension of the Vonne Miller has
Speaker 1: probably one of the quickest first steps off the ball
Speaker 1: that I've seen a boy a defense, but I mean,
Speaker 1: he reminds me a lot of a guy out played
Speaker 1: up against unfortunately Arrowhead and Derrick Thomas. Derrick Thomas was
Speaker 1: as quick as quick as a cat, especially coming off
Speaker 1: the ball, especially around there. It reminds me a lot
Speaker 1: of that. It doesn't give you a lot to hit
Speaker 1: two as well. It never gives you a full body.
Speaker 1: He's always giving you a half a body. He's alreadys
Speaker 1: moving this body, maneuvering this body. So it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a tough task with Joe on telling because not only
Speaker 1: you have to deal with von Miller, I deal with
Speaker 1: the crowd, noise and mass majority of the time of
Speaker 1: the game. If the jack was which I'm hoping it
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, if the jack walls get fought behind early.
Speaker 1: Now you put yourself, you put your rookie in a
Speaker 1: predicament where he's gonna have to pass for debt against
Speaker 1: this guy. Because of Jaguars are feeling a little bit
Speaker 1: of desperation trying to get back in the game and
Speaker 1: having to throw the ball. So the best, the best
Speaker 1: thing that can happen for this jag Walls offense in
Speaker 1: this game is to run the ball, to be to
Speaker 1: be to be able to run the ball and pass
Speaker 1: the ball, because that takes the pressure off the tackles. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who's gonna be playing the left and right.
Speaker 1: I know Joan is gonna be a right. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure it sounds like you're gonna have his hands for too.
Speaker 1: Bradley Chub, I mean, he gets after it as well.
Speaker 1: So the best thing that you can do for these
Speaker 1: you know, young tackles, left and right tackles, for the
Speaker 1: jack Walls is to have some ballots giving them an
Speaker 1: opportunity to run the ball, giving the opportunity to where
Speaker 1: they're nine third and long situations where they have to
Speaker 1: protect the quarterback a lot longer. So I would say
Speaker 1: the best thing is to run the ball to give
Speaker 1: your tackles a chance against these phenoms that rushed the pass.
Speaker 1: Now in Leon's right, I mean that if you can
Speaker 1: have manageable third downs, and you can get the manageable
Speaker 1: third downs by controlled passing attack and then also running
Speaker 1: the football successfully. Now, if you're looking at third and
Speaker 1: three or third and four, then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the ears aren't his pin back, so to speak, for
Speaker 1: a pass rusher, because the reality is von Miller. Look
Speaker 1: at his numbers. He's got ninety eight career sacks and
Speaker 1: now he's in his ninth year, so he basically got
Speaker 1: ninety eight regular season career sacks in eight years. That's
Speaker 1: averaging twelve sacks a year. Twelve sacks a year. That's phenomenal.
Speaker 1: That there's two guys in the league that has the
Speaker 1: sacks per game numbers that are just ridiculous, and that's J. J.
Speaker 1: Watt and Von Miller. And I think von miller is
Speaker 1: is might be higher, but uh, it is crazy to think.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you got a second
Speaker 1: year player Bradley Chubb. On the other side, You've got
Speaker 1: bon Miller average in twelve a year, and then Bradley
Speaker 1: Chubb and his rookie year came out and had twelve.
Speaker 1: You know, so these guys are phenomenal football players. Bradley
Speaker 1: Chubb was a consensus uh first round pick. Many people
Speaker 1: wanted them. You fifth overall kind of fell in the
Speaker 1: lap of the Denver Broncos, and they did the right
Speaker 1: thing and took them. I mean, you're talking about two
Speaker 1: of the best edge defenders in football. I don't care
Speaker 1: if they don't have a sack. I don't care that
Speaker 1: they don't have a takeaway yet, because I do know this.
Speaker 1: These two guys have the ability to dominate. That's how
Speaker 1: good they are. And if you if you play so
Speaker 1: if you play their style of game, which means you
Speaker 1: get behind behind the chains or if you get behind
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard, it'll make for one incredibly long day
Speaker 1: because you gotta remember something. Now, they have like four
Speaker 1: hundred or how many consecutive sellouts, four hundred and four
Speaker 1: in Denver home sellouts, and that place can rock. There
Speaker 1: ain't no doubt if all of a sudden they've got
Speaker 1: a to score, lead to possession lead, and it's third
Speaker 1: and long. You think you're gonna be able to hear
Speaker 1: snap counter, have a snap count. So you're talking about
Speaker 1: that quick first step that von Miller has. You think
Speaker 1: it's quick, wait till you gotta go silent count. That
Speaker 1: is really quick. And then I remember some years ago
Speaker 1: when they were here the Broncos came in here for
Speaker 1: a game and it was late and they needed a
Speaker 1: sack to to end the game, and it was he
Speaker 1: was shut down all day. But here comes in a
Speaker 1: moment when they needed a pass rush. He found a way.
Speaker 1: He got home sack fumble. Good night, see you next week.
Speaker 1: So I mean, go go to the super Bowl. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: I mean super Bowl m v P exactly. He was disruptive,
Speaker 1: but the Carolina the Panther's office and I did not
Speaker 1: have an answer for the whole game. Whole game killed him.
Speaker 1: So we got that going for us, which is nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And look, look and kind of part of that who's
Speaker 1: gonna face von Miller? Von Miller's is for the most part,
Speaker 1: he's a left side pass rusher. So Joan Taylor is
Speaker 1: gonna see him against the right tackle. Yeah. So and
Speaker 1: here here's the reality. John tells a good football player.
Speaker 1: He is he perfect? No, because he still got some
Speaker 1: things he needs to get better at with his hands. Yes,
Speaker 1: But I think the one thing that has impressed me
Speaker 1: about him, He's faced some really good players already and
Speaker 1: he has handled him. And the one thing that he
Speaker 1: has I think that is a gift. He is incredibly strong.
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that you go back to
Speaker 1: like Luke jokel Luke Joko used to have to be
Speaker 1: able to worry about power and he had to prepare
Speaker 1: for power, and he got into that bad habit of
Speaker 1: duck in his head. Joan Teller, don't need to duck
Speaker 1: his head. He's one of these guys that just he
Speaker 1: engulfs people and he handles their power and he just
Speaker 1: and he just absorbs it. It's not a big deal
Speaker 1: for him. And what what's scary is when he finally
Speaker 1: gets it, he's gonna be punishing guys, punishing. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I watched him. He's a puppy id. Then he's on
Speaker 1: the chain. He's not the pit bull. Yeah, but when
Speaker 1: he becomes a pit he's gonna stop punishing people, trust me.
Speaker 1: And he moves people in the run game now when
Speaker 1: he wants to. When he when he gets it going
Speaker 1: in the run game, he can move people. He is uh,
Speaker 1: he is gonna be in my opinion, I think you're
Speaker 1: talking about you've You've got a guy that's gonna be
Speaker 1: in a conversation every year for the Pro Bowl at
Speaker 1: some point, and he is your he is your right
Speaker 1: tackle for a decade like that. I like it too.
Speaker 1: That's nice and if you right, I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure I was accurate to get my get the
Speaker 1: back in of a former right tackle that was all
Speaker 1: fired up lug. I like him. I mean, look, I
Speaker 1: liked him in the draft. I didn't like him as
Speaker 1: a as the top pick because he was the right
Speaker 1: tackle and that's for me, that's a little bit high
Speaker 1: for that position. But I mean, this guy, Juan Taylor
Speaker 1: is a is a good football player, good football player.
Speaker 1: Let's come back. We'll go around the league a little
Speaker 1: bits one other things happening. There are other teams in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. We'll touch on some of those
Speaker 1: when we come back and get some final thoughts about

Speaker 1: League and start off with Super Bowl fifty four in
Speaker 1: South Florida. The halftime show has been announced The PEPSI
Speaker 1: super Bowl halftime show Sunday, February second, features Jennifer Lopez
Speaker 1: and Shakira Mm hmm good yes, logs. I like it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but kno watched that was just said. I was today.
Speaker 1: There you go. It'll be a good show. The best
Speaker 1: halftime show ever, best halftime show that I saw ever.
Speaker 1: I was in Miami for the super Bowl when Prince Prince.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was I'm a big prince. Yeah I am.
Speaker 1: We grew up in that area and I like that thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Stand here. So I remember the press conference when Prince
Speaker 1: they announced him, and they did a press conference, right,
Speaker 1: and there was a whole band on stage and Prince
Speaker 1: goes up. He's like, I'll take some questions. First question
Speaker 1: gets his asked. He's like all right, and no, never mind,
Speaker 1: and then he starts play and they do like four
Speaker 1: songs straight in the press conference. That's cool, which is
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I didn't didn't who the who played one?
Speaker 1: I know the Rolling Stones did did one. It was good.
Speaker 1: I mean they've gone through everybody now, Tom Petty did one,
Speaker 1: Ruth Springster, there's a lot of even Justini that was
Speaker 1: the infamous when all that was the one a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago in Minnesota, and then the Infamous went
Speaker 1: with Janet Jackson was so good. Yeah when I when
Speaker 1: I was in Super Both thirty, all my family was there,
Speaker 1: my mom big down. The Ross had no idea how
Speaker 1: the Ross was going to be performing against Tree where
Speaker 1: the supremes there too? Justs just the boss. How many
Speaker 1: are still around? But Diana is still around? Okay, let's
Speaker 1: get to football now, not the entertainment around football. Chargers
Speaker 1: running back Melvin Gordon ending is hold out. He won't
Speaker 1: play this week. He's gotta be on the roster for
Speaker 1: eight games to get the final year of his contract
Speaker 1: to become a free agent. But he's back after holding
Speaker 1: out and got zero dollars. That that's what Melvin Gordon accomplished. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's that an L But he took a huge ail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he made he made a mistake. He held
Speaker 1: out and he has he had no leverage and all
Speaker 1: he did was cost himself money. And now what will
Speaker 1: be interesting will will the team institute the find that
Speaker 1: he's accumulated in his absence, because they could end up
Speaker 1: trying to essentially make make him pay for all the
Speaker 1: things that he's already missed because he was under contract,
Speaker 1: and that's one point two million dollars in five Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to pay. And don't you think this.
Speaker 1: You gotta think this as well. If he if he
Speaker 1: came back and he was ready to go and he
Speaker 1: passed the physical, don't you think they will get him
Speaker 1: ready to play on Sunday? Or is that them sending
Speaker 1: a match is like we really don't need you. M hm.
Speaker 1: I don't know. If he's a healthy pass thing, he
Speaker 1: comes in and he he's ready to play, that would
Speaker 1: make him Well, they say they got to get him
Speaker 1: acclimated for sure, Okay, T Well, I mean like like
Speaker 1: Zeke Zeke took him how long? Like a couple of days?
Speaker 1: They take on a couple of day. Remember who the
Speaker 1: Chargers are playing this week? The Dolphins? So yeah, does
Speaker 1: that have anything to do with it? You know? Uh no,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think you'd take that in consideration
Speaker 1: but another week. But I think the fact of the
Speaker 1: matter is as Melvin gore and accomplished nothing with his
Speaker 1: whole out and that was a mistake on his part. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: he had to come back because if he had sat
Speaker 1: out a year he would have had another year he
Speaker 1: would have been under contract again for the same amount
Speaker 1: that he just bypassed. Saints quarterback Drew Brees set on
Speaker 1: a radio interview in New Orleans that he hopes to
Speaker 1: beat the odds and gets back from his thumb injury
Speaker 1: earlier than the six week prognosis. Originally, the doctor inserted
Speaker 1: an internal brace, Breese said, and that allows him to
Speaker 1: remove the cast in a couple of weeks to begin rehab.
Speaker 1: If Drew Brees thinks that he should or could come
Speaker 1: back in less than six weeks, I got some diamond
Speaker 1: don't want to sell. Oh wow, he's holding one out there, Okay,
Speaker 1: because it's close to home for Drew. I mean, look, look,
Speaker 1: the reality is is, uh, if you can't you can't
Speaker 1: change what medically is needed for the body to heal.
Speaker 1: Um if he does come back earlier than that, here's
Speaker 1: the one thing he is doing. He is putting his
Speaker 1: body and his career at risk because he's his body
Speaker 1: won't be healed if he comes back sooner than six weeks.
Speaker 1: Some people even say that it should be like a
Speaker 1: three month healing process. Anyway, Well, he got a lot
Speaker 1: of advice like Mike Trout, baseball player, had a similar
Speaker 1: injury with a couple of other people who had it. Well,
Speaker 1: you know baseball, well you know football players. Sometimes we
Speaker 1: could be out worse ending man, we can't be. He
Speaker 1: probably needs to heal in the quarterback and it's his
Speaker 1: it's his throwing thumb last time I checked. That's a
Speaker 1: critical part of the playing quarterback position in most offense.
Speaker 1: So you might want to make sure that that's healed
Speaker 1: before you try to come back. A navy you can
Speaker 1: get away with that. Here's a question that I have
Speaker 1: if Teddy Bridgewater came out stunk it up, leon okay,
Speaker 1: would Drew Brees be coming back coming out saying the
Speaker 1: same thing? Would Drew Brees going, Yeah, that's my job
Speaker 1: and we're winning without me, And that's not the way
Speaker 1: I kind of envisioned it anyway, just saying nice job,
Speaker 1: by the way, nice job Teddy Bridget in the locker
Speaker 1: room speech. Did you see that after? It was fantastic? Yes,
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. Nearly broke down in tears in
Speaker 1: front of the team with the game ball and the
Speaker 1: whole deal. Good for him, and I'm happy for him
Speaker 1: because you know what, Teddy Bridgewater has been through a lot.
Speaker 1: You've been through a lot. I remember that kid in
Speaker 1: high school, and I used to when I was coaching.
Speaker 1: I used to go to Northwestern and watch the kid.
Speaker 1: It's phenomenal, phenomenal high school. Barkley, speaking of injuries, suffered
Speaker 1: a high ankle spring last week, but after a second opinion,
Speaker 1: he will not have surgery. Expected to miss more than
Speaker 1: a month. Well, high ankle sprains are typically about eight weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, so you would rather have a break, I
Speaker 1: think in some cases than a than a high ankle.
Speaker 1: So that'll be an interesting watch and pretty interesting because
Speaker 1: st Kwon Barkley, the topic of him kind of came
Speaker 1: up in the preparation for this Broncos game because the
Speaker 1: next running back who has the most total yardage output
Speaker 1: behind Barkley is Philip Lindsay, who the Jaguars will face.
Speaker 1: So here you got this. You know, the top pick
Speaker 1: of the draft and sat Kwon Barkley, who obviously is
Speaker 1: a phenomenal player, and then the next closest guy to
Speaker 1: him is an undrafted guy that did end up signing
Speaker 1: with the hometown team, the Broncos, and it's Philip Lindsay.
Speaker 1: So Anyway, I hope Barkley hills quickly. And the reason
Speaker 1: why is because Daniel Jones would like to have of
Speaker 1: him in New York. And by the way, congratulations to
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Played pretty well, really well last week? Yeah right,
Speaker 1: and didn't didn't everybody criticized the pick of Daniel Jones. Well,
Speaker 1: guess who picked him in the mock draft in this
Speaker 1: radio program? Yes I did. Yes, you got mocked for
Speaker 1: that mock draft. I like, I like Dann Who's who's
Speaker 1: laughing now, Leon? Yeah, you get the last I'm laughing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My my two guys that I liked in the draft.
Speaker 1: I liked Haskins and I liked Daniel Jones. I thought
Speaker 1: they were both, uh, really good option. I was not
Speaker 1: a big carl of Murray guy. Um, he looks tiny
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, just small, right small? The other guy
Speaker 1: that probably looks smaller in the league. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw the highlights of him, Leon, but uh,
Speaker 1: the wide receiver Brown for the Baltimore Ravens. You talking,
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about small, oh fast, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be fast. I would, I would, I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you that if I were a general
Speaker 1: manager of the Baltimore Ravens. If I saw him in person,
Speaker 1: I ain't no way. I can't draft. I can't draft him.
Speaker 1: He's too small. But he's a good football player. No. Alright,
Speaker 1: final thought here Thursday Night football Tonight, we'll hear from
Speaker 1: Tony Bassali coming up for the second part of the
Speaker 1: Doug Moron Show. He is at Lambeau Field tonight, but
Speaker 1: the Eagles at one and to face the Packers three
Speaker 1: and oh at Lambeau Who you got tonight, guys, Leon
Speaker 1: you think? Um? He looks I've got Green Bay winning it.
Speaker 1: But Aaron Rodgers hasn't been Aaron Roger esque and I
Speaker 1: don't know how long that's gonna last. The defense has
Speaker 1: kept him in games. Defense and get the second defense,
Speaker 1: the ranked number two behind the Patriots. They're only allowing
Speaker 1: the leven point nine points at the game. They've got
Speaker 1: eight turnovers, so they've been covering. They've been covering the Patriots,
Speaker 1: I mean, the Packers for the last three games. But
Speaker 1: it's hard to win the Lambeau it's hard to win.
Speaker 1: And the Eagles they'd decimated with injuries. They got a
Speaker 1: couple of guys coming back. I know Uh, the wife
Speaker 1: receivers coming back, Jefferies, I think he's gonna be Jeff
Speaker 1: was gonna be back with the game. That might help
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I just don't see the Eagles
Speaker 1: going in there and this isn't they have to win
Speaker 1: this game. They can't go into the division with the
Speaker 1: Cowboys undefeated and be one at three. They might so,
Speaker 1: I mean, they they might end up being that way.
Speaker 1: But here's the reality. The success rate of a road
Speaker 1: team on a short week Thursday night football is not
Speaker 1: very good. Take the home team every time Packers got
Speaker 1: the Packers. I'll take the Packers to okay, because you're right,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will turn into Aaron Rodgers at some point
Speaker 1: as well. To match that deep so they have it.
Speaker 1: I'll do it for our program tonight. Leon will talk
Speaker 1: to you on Sunday. You got it for the public's
Speaker 1: tailgate show and logs. I'll talk to you you and
Speaker 1: like like two minutes the show begins. That's the next
Speaker 1: program coming up. The Jags and the Broncos coming up.
Speaker 1: Final thought, here, fellows, real quick, Jaguars get it done
Speaker 1: this Sunday. Will they can run the ball and be balanced? Yes,
Speaker 1: I believe they could get it done, and I wrote
Speaker 1: this for for Johnny O's article. I think the team
Speaker 1: that ends up getting their first defensive takeaway of the
Speaker 1: season wins. Huh, because neither neither team has a defensive
Speaker 1: takeaway like that. So I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: close football game, real close football game. Tough environment on
Speaker 1: one of the toughest this is. This is right on
Speaker 1: par with Kansas City, and uh, the altitude makes it
Speaker 1: even tough. I was about to say you can't breathe.
Speaker 1: I was questioning my conditioning doing warmupt Trust me, we're
Speaker 1: back in a moment. The Doug Barons Show is right
Speaker 1: after this. Thanks for listening to Jaguars Happy Hour the
