Speaker 1: And now a guy who when the Public's Deli asked
Speaker 1: how he wanted his cuban, he said, an roll please.
Speaker 1: J Peace Shadrick, Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour presented by
Speaker 1: the Fields Auto Group. Daffy Shadrick, Fucking Brooks, John Osier
Speaker 1: coming up. We've got a busy show today. Every Wednesday
Speaker 1: we always do. It's the Jaguars Titans preview this week,
Speaker 1: or as Fred Taylor told me earlier today, it's tightened
Speaker 1: Tate week, that team offense spreading the wealth, timely defensive
Speaker 1: plays last week. Uniform unveiling is always on Wednesday. Jimmy Luck,
Speaker 1: the head equipment manager, joins us and he'll unveil with
Speaker 1: the Jags. Will were on the road this Sunday. We're
Speaker 1: going to play big Game Jaguar once again, where we
Speaker 1: will pick a Jaguar to have a big game on Sunday.
Speaker 1: We'll touch around the league after Week one as well.
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. John Oshan with us. Now, Bucky, what's going
Speaker 1: on out in California? Excited one ad getting ready to
Speaker 1: see the Jaguars take on another division opponent. Could be
Speaker 1: a great staff of the Jacks. John, It's Titans hate week,
Speaker 1: did you hear it? Yeah, interesting story in that regard JP.
Speaker 1: I can remember interviewing Fred in the and what was
Speaker 1: the media lobby. It's still the media lobby where Gus
Speaker 1: used to do his pressers down in that older ramp.
Speaker 1: And this was before JP. This was after after Fred's
Speaker 1: rookie season and the Jags had lost the game up
Speaker 1: I think they were still in Memphis, Tennessee, and this
Speaker 1: is probably March or April. I was getting to do
Speaker 1: a big story on Fred's second year. He was kind
Speaker 1: of becoming a star, and I remember him city They're
Speaker 1: talking about that loss in Memphis already sort of hating
Speaker 1: Tennessee and said, you know what they want. I just
Speaker 1: can't give him credit for it. So it goes back
Speaker 1: even before that threesome in ninety nine. It runs deeper.
Speaker 1: Fred think never goes away. Bucky, right, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know about you. I don't know if you have
Speaker 1: that that level of Tennessee hate being a former jack
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I certainly don't like any division rivals.
Speaker 1: And so when you think about the Tennessee Titans, who
Speaker 1: were the Houston Oilans when I was playing in Jacksonville, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not a lot of love loss. You want to
Speaker 1: own and dominate the division. So this is an opportunity
Speaker 1: for the Jacks to kind of put a vice grip
Speaker 1: on a division, something that I don't think many of
Speaker 1: us thought would be possible. And yeah, yeah, well Bucky
Speaker 1: actually played in the game. It could have some similarities
Speaker 1: to this in the old Astrodome in ninety six, late
Speaker 1: ninety six, but I think there were twenty thousand fans
Speaker 1: that day where he was eerie. How quiet it was.
Speaker 1: To me, that's the closest thing I've ever been involved
Speaker 1: with is something like what we're seeing now with ten
Speaker 1: or fifteen thousand fans. It was quiet, you could hear
Speaker 1: all the signals. It was much like what this week's
Speaker 1: games are. Absolutely it's a difference a real scene. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll find out this Sunday what it feels like in
Speaker 1: Nashville at Nissan Stadium, no fans and attendance this week.
Speaker 1: We'll get to this game coming up. It let's touch
Speaker 1: briefly on last week. Um, you know a Bucky a
Speaker 1: great team win. We talked about in the postgame radio
Speaker 1: show that you know, Doug Marone in the week prior
Speaker 1: to the game, I really liked this team's ability. He
Speaker 1: thought at least to handle adversity, and boy did they
Speaker 1: have some in the game, especially early. The opening drive
Speaker 1: right down the field a touchdown, and the second drive
Speaker 1: they're knocking on the door again, but the fourth downstop
Speaker 1: kind of kind of stymies them. There. They get some
Speaker 1: big time defensive place set up some short fields, Gardner
Speaker 1: Minshew hits his targets, and all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: Jags come away with a big all around team victory.
Speaker 1: I think that's the best way to describe last week.
Speaker 1: That is the best way to describe it. Uh. Great
Speaker 1: teams are able to play complimentary football at the offense
Speaker 1: to defense, the special teams work together. Looking at those stats,
Speaker 1: two things stand out. The two takeaways are big that's
Speaker 1: the biggest determining factor, deciding factor in football. And then
Speaker 1: third down conversion, the ability to get off the field
Speaker 1: on third down. The Jags were able to do that.
Speaker 1: That's why they walked out the stadium with the win. Yeah, John,
Speaker 1: it was. It was one of those where you you
Speaker 1: heard Doug in the post game. They didn't fold up
Speaker 1: and go home when things got bad. And I think
Speaker 1: he just likes the character of the group he has
Speaker 1: in that locker room, and it and it showed, it
Speaker 1: made him, made him right on Sunday. Yeah, i'llive him
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. He wanted his guys. Clearly, He's
Speaker 1: not gonna say this, but there are some guys who
Speaker 1: left that I think make this a better locker room.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's why they did it, but whatever
Speaker 1: happened happened. He talked all leading up to that week
Speaker 1: about the resiliency, and you sort of rolled your eyes
Speaker 1: because you thought, how how resilient can a young team.
Speaker 1: They came back from four deficits seven nothing fourteen seven
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen, and they played awful for about thirteen minutes,
Speaker 1: where everybody watching it thought this one's over there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're tanking, but you sure thought
Speaker 1: they were gonna be in the Trevor conversation and they
Speaker 1: never quit. From what I've heard on the sidelines, the
Speaker 1: communication was incredible, guys pumping each other up. And again,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of jaded NFL people roll their eyes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all about talent, and I'm sort of one of
Speaker 1: those guys. But this is a team that clearly on
Speaker 1: Sunday pulled together, I would guess better than the last
Speaker 1: two Jaguars teams. Yeah, good start for sure. Um, let's
Speaker 1: let's start on offense with this with this team right now.
Speaker 1: Obviously last week Gardner Minshew spread the wealth. He was
Speaker 1: nineteen of twenty. First of all, not a lot of
Speaker 1: deep shots down field. Um, but he spread the ball
Speaker 1: out too, Bucky. Ten different guys made catches for the
Speaker 1: Jaguars on Sunday. That tells you a little bit about
Speaker 1: the depth that's running around that they think they have.
Speaker 1: And he's gonna hit the open guy, and everybody on
Speaker 1: this offense can contribute in a different way. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: really scary when you think about preparing for a team
Speaker 1: when you look at the hits you and you see
Speaker 1: ten different receivers that have receptions. That makes it hard
Speaker 1: for the defense coordinate to figure out, Hey, who should
Speaker 1: be really focused on who should we take away? For me?
Speaker 1: It also tells me that Garner Minsh you is just
Speaker 1: going to throw the ball to the open guy. He
Speaker 1: is not locked in on a particular player. When he
Speaker 1: sees someone combs open, he is going to get them
Speaker 1: the ball. Takes a lot of trust with Uh, the
Speaker 1: quarterback and his wife receivers to be able to do that,
Speaker 1: But I think that speaks volumes to go to missus
Speaker 1: leadership ability. How about Gardner today, John, what you to
Speaker 1: take from the quarterbacks conversation after the wind? You know?
Speaker 1: Not much? I mean, I I love Gardner, he's his personality,
Speaker 1: but if you really watch his press conferences, he didn't
Speaker 1: give away very much. He's sort of this flamboyant guy
Speaker 1: with the hair, and you love his commercials, but he's
Speaker 1: also very much a football guy, and when he gets
Speaker 1: in front of the media, he gives very pat answers.
Speaker 1: When it comes to even himself, he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: give anything away. The only concern I had on Sunday
Speaker 1: was when you're nineteen of twenty and you have a
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three yards, you haven't gone down field
Speaker 1: a whole lot. I know he can throw the deep ball.
Speaker 1: I still kind of I still wonder a little bit
Speaker 1: at his ability to throw into coverage and make big,
Speaker 1: big plays, but I don't think it's what they're asking
Speaker 1: him to do. So I don't know how Bucky feels
Speaker 1: about that. I got the feeling the Colt took away
Speaker 1: a lot of what they thought he would do well,
Speaker 1: and Gardner stuck to what was there that work. I
Speaker 1: think that's the thing to watch or going forward with
Speaker 1: him when he has to make throws that he doesn't love,
Speaker 1: what's that gonna be? Yeah, John, you speak to something
Speaker 1: that's really important. Because the way the Inn after his
Speaker 1: Coast played him, they didn't have any film on Garner Minshew.
Speaker 1: In j Gruten's offense, the Tennessee Titans will have film
Speaker 1: and they make adjustments and they will try to take
Speaker 1: away some of the sweet stuff that he enjoyed, the
Speaker 1: quick games, some of the screen games, some of the
Speaker 1: movement passes that he was able to connect on. They're
Speaker 1: going to focus on taking that away, and they may
Speaker 1: force him to push the ball down the field to
Speaker 1: see if he has enough Armston to be able to
Speaker 1: get it done. In the first half of the game,
Speaker 1: he had a running game to really get him going
Speaker 1: to James Robinson stepped in. He was my pick by
Speaker 1: the way for big game Jaguar last week, and he
Speaker 1: came through with solid first half. They didn't run the
Speaker 1: ball all that much and all that effectively in the
Speaker 1: second half, so Robinson's debut was was really good. Leavisca
Speaker 1: should not comes in and and he's lining up everywhere
Speaker 1: and showing a bunch of things, as you said, Bucky
Speaker 1: putting things on tape. Now, defensive coordinators have to think
Speaker 1: about those two guys especially and what you know, where
Speaker 1: Levisca is going to be, where is he going in motion?
Speaker 1: And what does that open up on the offense. That's
Speaker 1: a lot to think about. It is a lot to
Speaker 1: think about. And Leviscus, you know, we we knew he
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to be a big time playmaker for
Speaker 1: this team. What he did at Colorado, we saw him
Speaker 1: do in that debut performance. I think the big thing
Speaker 1: is James Robinson. There were a lot of unknown uh
Speaker 1: factors in opinion on James Robinson because we hadn't really
Speaker 1: seen him undrafted free agent Illinois State, didn't know what
Speaker 1: he was going to bring. Nineties scrimmag jars on seventeen touches,
Speaker 1: that's big time. Didn't get the running game going in
Speaker 1: the second half. We need to see more, but he
Speaker 1: certainly proved that he is at least a serviceable starter
Speaker 1: at this point. He stepped right in John and and
Speaker 1: didn't miss a beat off the opening opening drive. There
Speaker 1: they are in I formation. Here he goes James. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought he was really big early, not necessarily getting
Speaker 1: him point by giving him some confidence and some footing.
Speaker 1: When the Colts offense was sort of just drumming down
Speaker 1: the field and making it look easy, there was this
Speaker 1: feeling of oh. But then when you thought back to
Speaker 1: the first drive, the one that got killed by the
Speaker 1: lender penalty that Jay Gruden said today he really didn't see,
Speaker 1: so let's get out that. Let's get that out there.
Speaker 1: But Robinson had run enough and well enough that I
Speaker 1: think it gave the team a little confidence of Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not going well yet defensively, but we've got something
Speaker 1: we can hang our hat on. I'm wondering to hear
Speaker 1: from Buckey. How much of the second half was just
Speaker 1: the Colts taking that away. Was there a concern with
Speaker 1: him not being able to run. I've always thought that basically,
Speaker 1: as the offensive line goes, the running back can go,
Speaker 1: so I don't think teams really find out about a
Speaker 1: running back. But how much of that was that? But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it was that John come
Speaker 1: and get into the game. Because James Robinson is an
Speaker 1: unknown commodity. You basically dare the Jackson the Jaguars to
Speaker 1: make them beat you with the undrafted free agent running back.
Speaker 1: And so early in the game he showed it he
Speaker 1: could run a little bit, picked up sixty one yards.
Speaker 1: They say, okay, we need to slow down to running game.
Speaker 1: Let's put this game back on Garniment show shoulders, which
Speaker 1: is what they did. They took him away. I think
Speaker 1: the big thing for the Jaguars heading into week two
Speaker 1: how much more can they evolve this offense? We saw
Speaker 1: the basics. We saw them do the screen game and
Speaker 1: the quick game, and we saw the running game. What
Speaker 1: can they do to add an element and dimension? When
Speaker 1: Sinnessee Titans know where they're facing this week, let's se
Speaker 1: get to a little bit of the preview of the
Speaker 1: Titans defense. How much of a difference is Jadeveon Clowney
Speaker 1: in Nashville Bucky who I mean, he partician, could be
Speaker 1: a huge difference maker. And I think what we have
Speaker 1: to do is we gotta get out of her head.
Speaker 1: What Jadeveon Clowney was at South Carolina because he's not
Speaker 1: really that guy. What he is an explosive, disruptive and
Speaker 1: defender who is best against the run more so than
Speaker 1: the past. He's athletic, He's gonna slip through gaps. He
Speaker 1: takes chances. But man, when he when he guesses right,
Speaker 1: he blows up plays in the backfield. They're looking for
Speaker 1: jadeveon Clowney to give them a handful of disruptive plays
Speaker 1: that puts the Jacks behind the chains and allows their
Speaker 1: pass rushes to hunt guarder Mintion knowing that he doesn't
Speaker 1: have to run threat. Yeah, John, you and I were
Speaker 1: at the Pro day in South Carolina. Was a long
Speaker 1: time ago, now, right, John, I think so it's been
Speaker 1: a long time. I you know, with your Dave on,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why he's not a better sacked numbers guy,
Speaker 1: but somebody has followed this for a long time. I
Speaker 1: actually have more respect as a player for a guy
Speaker 1: who can do what Clowney does. I think he sets up,
Speaker 1: as Bucky said, Yeah, in order for most teams to
Speaker 1: rush the passer or most players rest to pass, you
Speaker 1: need to be an obvious passing situations. Him behind the chains, Buck,
Speaker 1: he said, that's what Clowney does. Three or four times
Speaker 1: a game. You look up in its second and eleven
Speaker 1: because of a play he made that helps the defense
Speaker 1: so much more than staff doesn't necessarily get get paid,
Speaker 1: but it certainly helps your team. It does. Yeah, go ahead, Bucky. Sorry.
Speaker 1: So Jake Gruden today mentioned when he was asked about
Speaker 1: this defense and watching tape that he was not able
Speaker 1: to sleep except for about an hour looking at all
Speaker 1: the blitz concepts from last year on this group. Um,
Speaker 1: what do they do so well in that department? Bucky
Speaker 1: and some other guys that stand out on this Titans defense. Look,
Speaker 1: they are a very, very physical team. The first thing
Speaker 1: that steps stands out to me when I look at him.
Speaker 1: Very physical team. They want to bring it to you.
Speaker 1: They want to make sure that uh they make it
Speaker 1: a fist fight in their phone booth. Up front. Simmons
Speaker 1: is the guy that you have to watch, Jimmyson. This
Speaker 1: is a guy that coming out of Mississippi State, he
Speaker 1: was a dominant player, arguably one of the best players,
Speaker 1: if not the best defensive player in that draft. He
Speaker 1: is a guy that is disruptive at the point of attack,
Speaker 1: and so if he gets going, it really sets the
Speaker 1: table for the rest of the guys. Rosie Evans was
Speaker 1: thrown out of the game on Monday. But that linebacker
Speaker 1: from Alabama sideline to sideline menace. He's tough and physical.
Speaker 1: And then in the back end Kenny Vaccaro, Kevin Bayer,
Speaker 1: guys that can pick off passes and do a bunch
Speaker 1: of different things. They are a very dynamic defense. They
Speaker 1: give you a bunch of different looks. Garner miss is
Speaker 1: going to have to be on his p's and ques
Speaker 1: to be able to understand and anticipate what they're doing
Speaker 1: to him. Yeah, John, We've seen that back in uh
Speaker 1: pick off some Jaguars passes over the years here, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it feels like and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get to this on the offensive side for Tennessee and
Speaker 1: the Jags defense, but it's always that kind of physical
Speaker 1: type of football game. It really has that feel again,
Speaker 1: John Well, I mean, the Titans are what you want
Speaker 1: to be on defense. I don't know that they have
Speaker 1: an out and out superstar, but at every level they've
Speaker 1: got guys who can really play. I think for them,
Speaker 1: Jackson being out this week is a little bit of
Speaker 1: a concern. It keeps their secondary very young. The question is,
Speaker 1: you know, can the Jaguars run well enough to get
Speaker 1: in some good situations to take advantage of that secondary.
Speaker 1: If they can't run early, then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they're in obvious passing situations and have trouble getting to
Speaker 1: the secondary. But you know, the Jaguars want to be
Speaker 1: a physical team this year. J Gruden said it again
Speaker 1: to do on the conference call. They want to be
Speaker 1: able to run, they want to depend on their offensive line,
Speaker 1: they want to control things offensive ways. It's what Tennessee
Speaker 1: wants to do. To me, this is a bigger challenge
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars offense certainly than the Colts were last week. Alright,
Speaker 1: So the matchup coming up this Sunday, one o'clock Eastern
Speaker 1: time in Nashville. The Jags and the Titans will come
Speaker 1: back and get onto the Jaguars defense. What they did
Speaker 1: last week. Well, how they match up and defend Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: That has been an issue certainly in the recent history
Speaker 1: of this series. We'll break it all down coming up,
Speaker 1: and we can't wait to be duv all together again.

Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on a Wednesday, presented by the Fields
Speaker 1: Auto Group, JP, Shadrick, John Osier, and Jacksonville from our
Speaker 1: home studios. Bucky Brooks out on the West Coast at
Speaker 1: his home studio. Glad you're along with us today. The
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense last week had some big time places. They
Speaker 1: gave hup some yardage right, but in key moments of
Speaker 1: the game made big plays. The fourth down stop early
Speaker 1: really kind of slowed things down, and when it could
Speaker 1: have gotten away from them early, the two interceptions later
Speaker 1: in the game. The DAGs scored ten points off those
Speaker 1: turnovers in a seven point final, so those are obviously huge.
Speaker 1: And we saw the debut of the new look linebacker
Speaker 1: corps and both of those guys played very well. So Bucky,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of positive. I know there was
Speaker 1: some yardage, but there was a lot of positive that
Speaker 1: came out of Sunday's game. On the defensive side, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of positive. JP very impressed with the defense,
Speaker 1: not necessarily in terms of the amount of YRD surrendered,
Speaker 1: but two things popped me, uh, their effort and their physicality.
Speaker 1: This is a team that played hard. Uh. Whenever the
Speaker 1: play ended. US saw eleven guys running to the football
Speaker 1: meeting at the ball and they tackled very very well
Speaker 1: for their first game out. I think the guy who
Speaker 1: led the team and tackles doesn't get enough credit for
Speaker 1: what he can add to this defense. Josh Jones look.
Speaker 1: Being able to get him, smart, tough, physical player gives
Speaker 1: them a third level defender that can thump. I think
Speaker 1: he's a key addition, and this week he's really gonna
Speaker 1: be needed because they're going to need him to be
Speaker 1: involved in the run game because they have to get
Speaker 1: the big fellow down. I'd say, so we'll get to
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry coming up john him the addition of Jones
Speaker 1: and then Joe Schobert stepped in and that gave Miles
Speaker 1: an opportunity to slide over, and you saw that second
Speaker 1: level for the Jaguars defense really step up and play well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought Shoulberg maybe made the most interesting and important
Speaker 1: point after the game when he talked about what happened
Speaker 1: early and he said, Yea, they just hadn't hit, They
Speaker 1: hadn't done anything since December. They had a light training camp,
Speaker 1: and as a result, it just sort of looked, you know,
Speaker 1: frankly soft early. The good news is and and the
Speaker 1: hope that you kind of grasp onto is that they
Speaker 1: got so much better after that. And I thought they
Speaker 1: were after the Abrey Jones stopped. It was a defense
Speaker 1: that you know, the yards evened out after that, and
Speaker 1: I thought they were the best team in the field
Speaker 1: after that. Um, Josh Jones, show Bert and Miles Jack
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna consider Miles Jack and new part because
Speaker 1: he's in a new position. So it's dramatically different improving
Speaker 1: those three spot. I talked last week about this defense
Speaker 1: maybe not being dominant against the run, but better because
Speaker 1: they allowed fewer breakout plays. That's gonna be tested this
Speaker 1: week because guess what, JP, Derrick Henry is still running
Speaker 1: from a few breakout plays the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: so he's harder to stop than most backs once he
Speaker 1: gets into that back seven. But that will be tested
Speaker 1: this week. Even as bad as it was the last
Speaker 1: couple of years in Tennessee, if you keep ninety nine
Speaker 1: and seventy four yard runs to ten, we're not talking
Speaker 1: about the asked for. There was the run defense, stop
Speaker 1: the big plays, you know, offense. Yeah, John, it's funny
Speaker 1: that you talked about it because what you described is
Speaker 1: exactly what Dick Geron used to talk about years ago.
Speaker 1: If you can be a top defense, you have to
Speaker 1: be strong right down the middle in any sport. And
Speaker 1: so when you think about being good at defensive tackle,
Speaker 1: mic linebacker, and safety, you have to have playmakers at
Speaker 1: each of those spots to be a good defense. Right now,
Speaker 1: we've seen the Jaguars gets solid contributions from the players
Speaker 1: of those spots. Derrick Henry has scored ten total touchdowns
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars all time. One of those reception, nine
Speaker 1: of those on the ground. The average yardage of those
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns guys thirty four point three yards, and that
Speaker 1: includes a sixty six yard reception on a little screen
Speaker 1: in seventeen and then those big runs of four and
Speaker 1: seventy four and a lot of those are when he
Speaker 1: gets outside. Though. I know we're talking about being strong
Speaker 1: up in the middle, but when Henryett exput nine eighty
Speaker 1: or whatever he is, it's out on a cornerback, Blucky.
Speaker 1: That's not fair. No, it's definitely not fair. And so
Speaker 1: this is a game where in the first meeting, tad
Speaker 1: Watch has to say, all hands on deck, guys, put
Speaker 1: on your big boy pads. You're going to have to
Speaker 1: put your minus amount of pressure on the running back,
Speaker 1: and the best way to stop Derrick Henry is to
Speaker 1: not let him get started. Penetration in this game would
Speaker 1: be critical because he's a strider, a big down here
Speaker 1: running back. When he gets his momentum going, he's tough.
Speaker 1: The best way to stop those kind of backs you
Speaker 1: gotta get him in the backfield before they get it going. John.
Speaker 1: Of course, Now, if if they do get that run
Speaker 1: game going a little bit against the Jack's defense, and
Speaker 1: you gotta watch out for the play action game. And
Speaker 1: I think the Titans guys they have some some guys
Speaker 1: on the outside that can make plays in this offense
Speaker 1: and a quarterback that can get it to them when necessary. John,
Speaker 1: That's that's something to watch out for. Two. If everybody's
Speaker 1: bucks in to stop Henry, here goes some some throws
Speaker 1: over the top. Yeah. I spoke to Jim Wyatt, my
Speaker 1: counterpart in Tennessee, about this, and he made a good point.
Speaker 1: Because of the playoffs last year, everybody thinks this team
Speaker 1: is Derrick Henry, and I get that, but Corey Davis,
Speaker 1: Bryan Tanner, you know they have the ability to throw
Speaker 1: and there were games last year where they threw their
Speaker 1: way to victory. It's ah, you can't just stop Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: Now for the Jaguars, that's the first step, because they
Speaker 1: found out that if you don't, it's all over. So
Speaker 1: it's a double edged sword if you will. And I
Speaker 1: do think that the Jaguars will do a better job
Speaker 1: stopping Henry. I've gone back to this point all week
Speaker 1: when they got rolled the last three or four years
Speaker 1: up there, they didn't get rolled in the last game
Speaker 1: of the season, and seven team they got rolled three
Speaker 1: of their times when their season was basically over. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of harder to get going and tackled Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry when there's nothing on the line, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden it gets to be out. What's going on anyway?
Speaker 1: Why bother? I don't think they're gonna have that this week.
Speaker 1: I anticipate a much better defensive game from the Jaguars
Speaker 1: this week. In three of the last four we've seen
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Yeah for for first place on the line
Speaker 1: this week overall in the a f C South of
Speaker 1: those skill guys outside, who do you like the best
Speaker 1: for Tennessee? Bucky Corey Davis a guy like Humphries, A J. Brown,
Speaker 1: even the tight end John new Smith can contribute there.
Speaker 1: You know it's funny because it's tough. A J. Brown
Speaker 1: and John new Smith are the guys when you look
Speaker 1: at the tape, those are the ones that pop, especially
Speaker 1: when Ryan Tannehill throws off play action. Is A J.
Speaker 1: Brown and John NU Smith? Look, those twose guys ranked
Speaker 1: in the top five in terms of yards after catch
Speaker 1: off play action a season ago. So we gotta contain
Speaker 1: those guys if we want to have a chance. You
Speaker 1: commend a lot of bodies to the box, so you've
Speaker 1: gotta be able to hold up in one on one coverage.
Speaker 1: It's Uh, it's the challenge this week for the Jaguars defense.
Speaker 1: But you know, um, they came out and played well
Speaker 1: last week. Let's see if they can get a plan
Speaker 1: together for Derrick Henry this week. Uh. These are John,
Speaker 1: These are fun. This is what it's about, right, battled
Speaker 1: for first place in the a f C South. Who
Speaker 1: would have thought this outside the building a few weeks ago? Well,
Speaker 1: you said fun. I haven't had a whole lot of
Speaker 1: fun in Tennessee last three or four years, JP, But
Speaker 1: I get your point. It's uh, you know, and stire
Speaker 1: wasn't fun for the guys trying to tackle Henry, But overall,
Speaker 1: absolutely it's it's uh. Nobody or very few people outside
Speaker 1: the building thought this is gonna be for first place.
Speaker 1: But I do think what I went back to in
Speaker 1: the last nice topic, the fact that they're going to
Speaker 1: Tennessee early in the season and not late when it's cold.
Speaker 1: It's always cold in nash but always feels like it's raining.
Speaker 1: It's always gray before the game. You know, that's no
Speaker 1: fun to play in if you're out of it. To me,
Speaker 1: the fact that this game is up there. Remember the
Speaker 1: jag Wars won this matchup last year and nobody thought
Speaker 1: they would, so it's not like the Titans have owned
Speaker 1: the whole series. They've owned up there. Later in the
Speaker 1: season when it's over, I think this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a much different game. I don't know that the Jaguars win,
Speaker 1: but I think this feistein adversity overcoming bunch the duck
Speaker 1: team thought about. I'd be surprised if they don't fight
Speaker 1: the whole game and make this interesting in the fourth quarter. Yes,
Speaker 1: you talked about that, you talked about gearing up for
Speaker 1: this and how tough it can be. I think the
Speaker 1: big thing is the change of mentality and the change
Speaker 1: in playing style, in my estimation physical To deal with
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, your team has to be committed to
Speaker 1: playing a physical brand of football, and it appears that
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are buying into Doug Morole's approach. This will
Speaker 1: be the test. This will let us know how physical
Speaker 1: the team is. But if they step up in welcome
Speaker 1: the physicality that the Titans bring, yeah, this certainly could
Speaker 1: be a game that's very, very competitive until the end.
Speaker 1: I'm just tired of seeing those draw strings flapping off
Speaker 1: Henry's pants when he's running down the field and the
Speaker 1: hair thing flopping. We've seen enough of that over the
Speaker 1: last few years and highlight reels and on commercials on
Speaker 1: an NFL network daily basis. Let's come back, we will
Speaker 1: get to what the Jaguars will wear. Speaking of uniforms,

Speaker 1: head equipment manager, joins us. Jimmy, good afternoon. You've got
Speaker 1: some splaining to do too. Mr Osher, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a cheap shot. He couldn't defend himself, so
Speaker 1: I apologize. You know, it was I enjoy our back
Speaker 1: and forth that we have and that we weren't, you know,
Speaker 1: together right now. You know, I just I kind of
Speaker 1: missed it, and I felt like I needed to poke
Speaker 1: you a little bit. I'm sorry. I was reading this,
Speaker 1: this incredibly fascinating, compelling book and you know, you know what, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: you come at me a little bit. Here's my bet.
Speaker 1: Dad Hendy was wearing his hat back in like fifteen
Speaker 1: or sixteen. This is my last jag Wars hat. So
Speaker 1: you know what, you know, you know what? Who are
Speaker 1: you pointing me? I love me some, Jemmy. That's funny
Speaker 1: around though? Is it just a picture book? Words? There
Speaker 1: you go, there's words? Okay, all right, well sorry here
Speaker 1: something show. Sorry, it's so okay. No. I listen to
Speaker 1: you guys all day, bicker back and forth. So all right, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: A week one in the books and now it's the
Speaker 1: first road trip. Does anything change with you in terms
Speaker 1: of logistics? I know, I'm gonna talk to Hans a
Speaker 1: Mind a little later in the week about the travel situation.
Speaker 1: But in terms of COVID and everything going on, how
Speaker 1: different is that in your world? Um, it's a little different.
Speaker 1: We uh, like toiletries and stuff we don't we won't
Speaker 1: put out like uh, you know, common deodorant and toothpaste
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. We'll have a bunch of like
Speaker 1: individually packed little um like travel kits with all that
Speaker 1: in it. We'll do some extra cleaning on our own,
Speaker 1: um like some spraying of the stuff where the players
Speaker 1: get there. But it's still pretty normal. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: we're still playing football. You gotta get everything set up
Speaker 1: and put out and go and and you know, so
Speaker 1: it's it'll be a it will be a pretty normal trip,
Speaker 1: just with a few extra little things. What about the
Speaker 1: feeling on the sideline Sunday, Jimmy and No Very one
Speaker 1: of the only two places in the league with fans
Speaker 1: first off, which was great, but then the little adversity
Speaker 1: early and things picked up as the game went on
Speaker 1: and they stuck it out for a win. That had
Speaker 1: to be a pretty happy sideline. I'm sure, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool out there. Um. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a couple of times the fans actually got pretty loud,
Speaker 1: um for not having many people there. You could hear them.
Speaker 1: They're kind of the third quarter, things got kind of exciting. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, during warm ups, it did kind of feel
Speaker 1: like that fourth preseason game that you know, with not
Speaker 1: having many people in the stands. But once the game
Speaker 1: kicked off, you know, it felt pretty normal. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and then when we you know, obviously played well, the
Speaker 1: fans reacted and so it was cool, like it wasn't
Speaker 1: two notes. Well, now, I think it will be definitely
Speaker 1: different this week with having you know, very little fans
Speaker 1: even fewer, so that that may feel a little different
Speaker 1: this week. You know, no fans allowed in Nashville for
Speaker 1: the game this week, the Jags and the Titans coming up. Uh,
Speaker 1: is the uniform police still a thing before the game?
Speaker 1: Is that still a deal? And and how does a
Speaker 1: new player We've got so many young guys on the
Speaker 1: team obviously, how do they adjust to something like that?
Speaker 1: It's uh, yeah, it's we still have the uniform police.
Speaker 1: They go around and check pregame. Uh, make sure everybody's
Speaker 1: wearing what they're supposed to, no unauthorized logos and things
Speaker 1: like that. Um. They do a little presentation during training
Speaker 1: camp that talks about a lot of that stuff and
Speaker 1: like the fine system if you're you know, wearing something
Speaker 1: wrong or or whatever. And the young guys, like you know,
Speaker 1: they now that they're getting paid. They here, oh, you
Speaker 1: get fine for not wearing that? Right, then they'll go Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we'll wear it right, and then the vets will
Speaker 1: kind of get in their ears out don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: So it's it's a little bit of a balance. Um.
Speaker 1: But most of the guys don't like giving away money,
Speaker 1: so uh so they'll they'll they'll pretty much listen and
Speaker 1: we kind of get up a warning to him before
Speaker 1: they they'll give me a list with guys, hey, his
Speaker 1: knees or show on or you know, he needs to
Speaker 1: pull his kneepads down or something, and we'll go around
Speaker 1: and tell him and for the most part, they'll fix it.
Speaker 1: As long as there's nothing crazy, they really won't get
Speaker 1: in trouble. Now we've seen some in the past two
Speaker 1: you know what, here's the fine and here's the one
Speaker 1: for next week. To let's get to this week's game, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: and what this is the the segment every week where
Speaker 1: we present you present what the Jaguars will wear. So
Speaker 1: if you would, sir, what will the Jaguars wear this
Speaker 1: Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. All right, so we're
Speaker 1: going with the white pants, okay, and then we are
Speaker 1: wearing black jerseys. You know, you're kind of unusual. Sometimes
Speaker 1: teams where uh white at home early, like we did,
Speaker 1: and so we get to bust out the blacks and
Speaker 1: and you know who knows it's probably gonna be Chhark
Speaker 1: week again, would be it could be, we think, Johnny, Oh,
Speaker 1: I like it if they warned that combination in Tennessee before, Jenny, Oh,
Speaker 1: you got me. Uh, the last couple of times we've
Speaker 1: done color Rush are like a mono up there. Um,
Speaker 1: A lot of people were thinking we were going to
Speaker 1: wear the white jerseys in the black pants. So kind
Speaker 1: of tricked them there a little bit. You gotta change
Speaker 1: something up up there, somebody. Sometimes I think I don't
Speaker 1: know that the Jaguar uniform tracker, he's pretty good on
Speaker 1: on what we're gonna wear, so I actually checked with
Speaker 1: him first. So this means Tennessee's wearing white jerseys. Then, yes,
Speaker 1: they're wearing their white Okay white at home, Bucky, what
Speaker 1: do you think of that? Look? The black over white
Speaker 1: for the Jags man? How clean the uniform is anyway?
Speaker 1: But like white don't black? I think I think that's
Speaker 1: a winning combination. Jimmy, Yeah, Jimmy, good job, good job.
Speaker 1: Let's get another one this week Jimmy, We appreciate your
Speaker 1: time as always. We'll talk to you a little later. Manute,
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate guys. Thank you. Jimmy. Look got him
Speaker 1: will win last week with the white on white combination.
Speaker 1: Let's see if he can get him a win on
Speaker 1: the road this week. Jaguars Happy Hour is brought to

Speaker 1: John Osier. It's time for Big Game Jaguar. This is
Speaker 1: where we pick a Jaguars player to stand out for
Speaker 1: the next week. The Titans are next on the docket.
Speaker 1: Last week, let's review, Bucky had Joe Schulbert, Julio had
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and I had James Robinson. So I'll say
Speaker 1: I think Bucky might have been the closest to spot on.
Speaker 1: What do you think the defense? The defense came through.
Speaker 1: We can get it right this week. I got a
Speaker 1: good Philip Okay, I like that Josh Allen fighter. They
Speaker 1: didn't have a sack, but he had some freshures. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's you're always safe picking, he's ever gonna have a
Speaker 1: bad game. That's a good point. That's an excellent point
Speaker 1: considering the pick that's about to come up from yours
Speaker 1: truly here in a few minutes, Bucky Brooks, who you
Speaker 1: got for us today? Okay, so we understand that we
Speaker 1: have to stop Derrick Henry said. That means C. J.
Speaker 1: Henderson is going to have a lot of one on
Speaker 1: one matchups with A. J. Brown and Corey Davis. He
Speaker 1: showed last week did he could hold his own against
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. I'm counting on the young fellow to
Speaker 1: hold his own because if he does it, it enables
Speaker 1: us to keep another defender in the box. Now, what
Speaker 1: a game he had last week and his debut five tackles, interception,
Speaker 1: three passes defense. He ended the game on the on
Speaker 1: the fourth down play on the sideline against Hilton. And
Speaker 1: remember he left the game he was out being evaluated
Speaker 1: for a concussion at one point, came back in the
Speaker 1: game and finished that way, John, That tells you a
Speaker 1: little something about c J. I thought, what struck me.
Speaker 1: He was sort of Doug Morons approached personified in a way.
Speaker 1: And I keep going back to the series where he
Speaker 1: had the intercept. He gets beat early in that series
Speaker 1: by T T Y Hilton, and if I remember I
Speaker 1: he just turned him around. Well, the next play out
Speaker 1: he gets a past defense later he ends the drive.
Speaker 1: Young players and even any cornerback in this era, you're
Speaker 1: gonna give up play and they're so it's so geared
Speaker 1: towards the past. Now, if you're gonna look bad at times,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be how you respond. He never missed a beat,
Speaker 1: comes back. I don't wanna say he turned the game around,
Speaker 1: but they got the tying touchdown off his pot. You know,
Speaker 1: he obviously has the mental approach of you've got to
Speaker 1: put the last play behind you. I thought that was
Speaker 1: really encouraging for him, not necessarily that he had the
Speaker 1: stat but that he was able to overcome getting beat early.
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't happen a lot for youngsters. Fucking no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't every Zio you see you playing on the
Speaker 1: aland is tough to develop. And the fact that he
Speaker 1: had it in his debut performance that Bowls will We'll
Speaker 1: see how he continues to act when when people are
Speaker 1: targeting him. But right now I feel really good about c. J.
Speaker 1: Henderson on the Island. Okay, John, who do you have
Speaker 1: for big game Jaguar this week? I'm going with Miles
Speaker 1: Jack and I. You know, I said all offseason, and
Speaker 1: I got emails telling me I was crazy. Even got
Speaker 1: an email early in the game tell me I was crazy.
Speaker 1: I thought his demise last year was the most overrated
Speaker 1: story on this team. His problems last year were trying
Speaker 1: to make up for others. He was fine at Metal.
Speaker 1: He's better on the week that I said on Jaguars
Speaker 1: Drive Down this morning. He may have a Pro Bowl season.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna go to the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl because of all the popularity involved, but he looked
Speaker 1: big time the other day. I think he's gonna be key.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a Chase guy, so I don't know
Speaker 1: if that really fits stopping Derrick Henry. I just think
Speaker 1: most games out of the box this year, he is
Speaker 1: going to have big time games. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: be key in this game. At some point he's gonna
Speaker 1: start picking up big plays like he did in the
Speaker 1: playoffs in seventeen. Miles Jack is my pick to have
Speaker 1: a big game this week, to be maybe the breakout player,
Speaker 1: that comeback player of the year or whatever. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be big time this year. Bucky. Doug Moron
Speaker 1: today said you could argue he was the best player
Speaker 1: on the field this past Sunday, Man, I can't dispute it.
Speaker 1: He was all over the place, levin tackles, one sack,
Speaker 1: three quarterback hits, did a great job of just being
Speaker 1: disruptive and active. And the more that he settles back
Speaker 1: into his old position of being the world linebacker, the
Speaker 1: more players we're gonna continue to see Miles Jack may alright,
Speaker 1: So Miles Jack is Johnny O's pick. C J. Henderson
Speaker 1: for Bucky, I'm gonna go with Josh Allen. You know, um,
Speaker 1: as you said, John, it's never a bad pick when
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is your pick. But I think for a
Speaker 1: few of those similar reasons, you know that he's gonna
Speaker 1: be in there a good bit against that run. And yes,
Speaker 1: I know they want him to to rush the passer
Speaker 1: and do all that, but he's gonna be out there
Speaker 1: in those key situations too. And Derrick Henry on first
Speaker 1: and second down is running the ball at him. Let's
Speaker 1: see how he stands up. He's got the stoutness to
Speaker 1: do it, I believe. And it's a big week for
Speaker 1: this Jags defense. So I'm gonna go with Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: It's never a bad pick. I think that's the reason why, John,
Speaker 1: And this is a mammoth difference to me. In past
Speaker 1: Jaguars teams against the run back when Telvin Smith was here,
Speaker 1: the Tights used to run right at him because he
Speaker 1: was a hundred and seventy five pound linebacker. I'm exaggerating.
Speaker 1: He said he was a light linebacker. Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 1: It's not a secret. The Unique was a much better
Speaker 1: past the past rusher than run defender, and Unique made
Speaker 1: plays in the run game, but he wasn't stout in
Speaker 1: the run game. Josh Allen is more much more capable
Speaker 1: of playing big end type football. He's not the big end,
Speaker 1: but he is much stouter, much better against the run.
Speaker 1: You know, I think Miles is much better against the
Speaker 1: run than Telvin was meaning much better to hold up
Speaker 1: those two spat and Telan wasn't here last year. But
Speaker 1: the point being they're a bigger, more physical front I
Speaker 1: think that starts with Josh Allen. Yeah, they're thicker. I
Speaker 1: mean to your point, John and Bucky, they're just bigger guys.
Speaker 1: And the big guys play football well for the most
Speaker 1: part if they can move and do all that. Bucky, Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: you have to have big guys up front. You can't
Speaker 1: have guys that can get knocked around a pinball. And
Speaker 1: this team, the Tennessee Titans, will test your ability to
Speaker 1: be stout at the point of attack. And so we
Speaker 1: will see. We felt like there were some improvements in upgrades,
Speaker 1: but now we'll see what that front line looks like.
Speaker 1: Can they hold there all? That is really the key
Speaker 1: to the game. Are they physical enough to go toe
Speaker 1: to toe with the Titans? Alright, So big game Jaguars
Speaker 1: in this week. C J. Henderson is Bucky's pick, Miles
Speaker 1: Jack for Johnny go and I've got Josh Allen all
Speaker 1: defensive players because of that matchup against the Titans run
Speaker 1: game and that offense in Tennessee. One final thought here
Speaker 1: before we get going, We're gonna introduce something fairly new here, Bucky,
Speaker 1: curious about your thoughts on this, how what was the
Speaker 1: biggest NFL story or performance in Week one? What stood
Speaker 1: out the most to you? And and maybe who's the
Speaker 1: m v P of Week one around the National Football League?
Speaker 1: Of the games you watched, well, if you had your
Speaker 1: hear to the street, there's been this movement in the
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest talking about let Russ cook and so the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks led Russell Wilson throw the ball all over
Speaker 1: the yard thirty one completions out of thirty five pass attempts,
Speaker 1: three fifty yards, did a great job at four touchdowns.
Speaker 1: This guy has been in the conversation for m v
Speaker 1: P for the last three or four years. This may
Speaker 1: be the year where he finally walks away with some hardware. Yeah, Wilson,
Speaker 1: the big numbers, John, and the development over the years
Speaker 1: is what's you know? Fascinating too? And I know we're
Speaker 1: close to Pete Prisco and early in Russell little a
Speaker 1: run as a professional player, Pete was on him a
Speaker 1: little bit, but he gave him credit that he's developed
Speaker 1: as the as time has gone on and has improved
Speaker 1: as a passer, John, Well, he's what you have to do.
Speaker 1: It's it's much more possible as a young quarterback to
Speaker 1: win with your legs running around buying yourself time. But
Speaker 1: history shows that the legs only last so long in
Speaker 1: terms of your ability to get in trouble. The great
Speaker 1: ones changed. He obviously can still get out of trouble
Speaker 1: with that, but he's his field vision everything you want.
Speaker 1: I agree everybody's talked about Lamar Jackson. Russell Wilson certainly
Speaker 1: has a chance to be m v P this year.
Speaker 1: He's only could be. In the conversation it maybe even
Speaker 1: a little overdue. Sometimes those m VP awards you get
Speaker 1: lost a little bit in it because there's only one
Speaker 1: of them to get out. He is an m v
Speaker 1: P caliber player. Yeah, there's a lot of quarterbacks playing
Speaker 1: at m VP levels around the league, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: And but yeah, good start for Russell Wilson. And that'll
Speaker 1: do it for our show today. We've we've got a
Speaker 1: division matchup on Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee, and Bucky, it's
Speaker 1: a big one. It's for first place. How do you
Speaker 1: see this game going physical? Physical matchup as it usually
Speaker 1: is I'm sure. Yeah. Look, I think the Jaguars have
Speaker 1: a great chance to walk away with the win. The
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans didn't play great against the Denver Broncos. The
Speaker 1: Broncos put some things on tape that I think Jacksonville
Speaker 1: can steal. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jaguars
Speaker 1: pull off their second upset in the second insecutive week two.
Speaker 1: And oh, Jaguars going into a home Thursday night game, John,
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty good to me. Yeah. The key for
Speaker 1: this team all season. I don't think a team this
Speaker 1: young is gonna have a whole lot of margin for air,
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars have to play with it against the
Speaker 1: colt when turnovers to uh minimize penalties, and above all,
Speaker 1: they have to take advantage opportunities. They were two for
Speaker 1: two red zone touchdowns last week. They also scored when
Speaker 1: they were at the twenty two you line. That's how
Speaker 1: you win games when you only have two forty yards
Speaker 1: and fifty yards total offense. This team is going to
Speaker 1: have to be opportunistic and be good when the situations
Speaker 1: call for it. All right, we'll see what happens. One
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern time kick off at Nissan Stadium, Nashville, the
Speaker 1: Jags and the Tennessee Titans. Bucky, we will talk to
Speaker 1: you in the post game show after the game with
Speaker 1: phone calls again. Let's do it. Let's do it after win.
Speaker 1: That sounds great to me, Bucky. I will see you
Speaker 1: on Sunday. John, we'll talk to you a little later
Speaker 1: in the week. For our entire crew, I'm J. P.
Speaker 1: Shadrick and thank you for watching. It's Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, presented by the Fields Auto Group on
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network.
