Speaker 2: National Football League. We've got a busy two hours ahead.
Speaker 2: The first hour of course, Jaguars Happy Hour. Then the
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show coming up at five o'clock on the
Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio Network.
Speaker 3: It's Packers week, green Bay coming to town.
Speaker 2: The Jaguars have to defend Jordan Love and the assortment of.
Speaker 3: Playmakers for Green Bay.
Speaker 2: They pitched the ball over the yard Trevor Lawrence against
Speaker 2: the Packers defense that leads the league in takeaways seventeen
Speaker 2: on the season. And the Batch's health injury report. Maybe
Speaker 2: this Jags team's getting healthier. We'll find out. And of course,
Speaker 2: as we said, the Doug Peterson Show, have the head
Speaker 2: Coaching Studio at five o'clock. As always, We're on Tention
Speaker 2: XL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube, JP, Shadwick,
Speaker 2: Jeff Logoman back in the USA.
Speaker 3: Thank goodness, good afternoon. Yeah, I mean I like London,
Speaker 3: but I like home better and glad to be back
Speaker 3: at EverBank for a home game against against a good
Speaker 3: Packers team. I mean, it's this good football team and
Speaker 3: it starts a stretch of games that are going to
Speaker 3: be pretty challenging.
Speaker 2: The next five games are against teams with winning records
Speaker 2: four of those. The next four are against teams that
Speaker 2: are contending in the NFC, three of those four against
Speaker 2: the NFC North, the best division in the National Football
Speaker 2: League through seven weeks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think, look the next week's game. Not
Speaker 3: to get too far ahead, but I mean we can
Speaker 3: do that as we can do media guys. I mean
Speaker 3: players can't do that. Coaches can't do that, sure, but
Speaker 3: I mean Philidel has its issues, but they still have
Speaker 3: some really good components to their football team. Their quarterback
Speaker 3: I think is not playing particularly well Jalen Hurts, but look,
Speaker 3: they still play good defense, they still got a good
Speaker 3: offensive line when they're healthy, and that game will not
Speaker 3: be an easy one. I'm kind of a little bit,
Speaker 3: probably different than most, and that I'm not disappointed about
Speaker 3: the game getting flexed out. Disappointed certainly for the attention
Speaker 3: that this team could get on Sunday night football. But
Speaker 3: I get it, Sunday night football. They want to have
Speaker 3: the best matchups they possibly can. And with the start
Speaker 3: that the Jaguars had, it's understandable, you know. And it
Speaker 3: does mean that we'll be home earlier. True, But I
Speaker 3: would rather see this team play on Sunday night. Okay,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean the game after that was it
Speaker 3: at Detroit, excuse me, Vikings and then Detroit, you know,
Speaker 3: and Vikings are playing out of their mind. And you
Speaker 3: know what concerns me most about them is not their
Speaker 3: you know, reborn quarterback. It's their defense. Their defense with
Speaker 3: Brian Floyd's leading away. Now, I mean, they are really good.
Speaker 3: Detroit is a complete team as there is in the
Speaker 3: National Football League. And they've got a two headed monster
Speaker 3: at running back and quarterback who has been playing extremely well,
Speaker 3: with a tough defense that lost a big component in
Speaker 3: Aden Hutchinson, which you know that doesn't hurt. But this
Speaker 3: one here, if you get this one, then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, I think you you gain a lot of
Speaker 3: confidence maybe in yourself for the games that are coming up,
Speaker 3: and that you you get up a little bit of
Speaker 3: momentum you know, because here's the reality. When you beat
Speaker 3: the Colts, you didn't generate any momentum because you lost
Speaker 3: the next week. Okay here against the New England Patriots,
Speaker 3: not a great football team, and if you don't follow
Speaker 3: it up with a good performance, you're not generating any momentum. Again,
Speaker 3: you got to stack wins to generate momentum to snowball
Speaker 3: kind of your way through the season. And this football
Speaker 3: team has a chance to do it at home against
Speaker 3: a football team that has a fan base that travels
Speaker 3: very well.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean they're Packer fans everywhere. It's how
Speaker 2: that works. When you're the Green Bay Packers, they're all
Speaker 2: over the place. Same for the Steelers, same for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: It's just one of those like five heritage franchises that
Speaker 3: travel extremely well, and Green Bay is definitely one of them.
Speaker 3: And who doesn't want to get out of Wisconsin to
Speaker 3: come to Florida.
Speaker 2: But see, that's the point is they don't travel. They're
Speaker 2: just everywhere they live here, true, you know, but some travel, yeah,
Speaker 2: but some tub. The reality is how many how many
Speaker 2: people live in Green Bay.
Speaker 3: It's a good point, it's excellent. There's not a lot
Speaker 3: of people in Green Bay, they aren't.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is we'll get in deeper into the matchup
Speaker 2: coming up in just a little bit, But to your point,
Speaker 2: to make the rest of these games in this stretch matter,
Speaker 2: they got to get this first one.
Speaker 3: And yeah, they were in this same spot back at
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: They were two and five, and then they got worse
Speaker 2: and then they started reeling off wins down the stretch.
Speaker 2: Tennessee came back to them because they couldn't get a
Speaker 2: healthy team on the field at all and kept losing
Speaker 2: games that all kind of worked together. I'm curious, and
Speaker 2: we'll ask Doug this in the second hour in the
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show. But you know, what can you take
Speaker 2: away from having already seen this happen once? It was
Speaker 2: an all time epic rally that year. But it can
Speaker 2: be done. He said it like anything's possible. Well, yes,
Speaker 2: anything's possible. But every year is different.
Speaker 3: And you know, you kind of got to say, well,
Speaker 3: every year is different, and every team is different, and
Speaker 3: yes you went through that, but not everybody went through that.
Speaker 3: That's on this football team. Every team is different. So
Speaker 3: it's just like saying that, Hey, look, you know, as
Speaker 3: a coach Doug Peterson was asked about last year and
Speaker 3: will last year have any impact on this year? You
Speaker 3: know the losing streak, we losing five out of the
Speaker 3: last six, And his answer was, now, this is a
Speaker 3: different year, it's a different team. Well, if it's different year,
Speaker 3: different team. The same thing can be said for the
Speaker 3: year twenty twenty two when they had an amazing rally
Speaker 3: to get the the postseason. They were very.
Speaker 2: Different team and it carried over though to the start
Speaker 2: of the next year.
Speaker 3: Then the collapse happened. Yeah, but I mean that twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two is a long time ago, okay for this
Speaker 3: football team. But the one thing that I hope going
Speaker 3: into this game and that the offense really covered some
Speaker 3: of the ills that the defense has in a big way. Okay,
Speaker 3: if the Jaguars offense does not have an amazing day
Speaker 3: running the football for how many consecutive times seventeen?
Speaker 2: At one point there were sixteen called runs after a scramble.
Speaker 3: Okay, sixteen consecutive runs at the end of the game,
Speaker 3: and the Jaguars are just pounding the Patriots so much
Speaker 3: that their head coach after the game calls his team
Speaker 3: saft that's right. Okay, So that was able to cover
Speaker 3: up a lot of the shortcomings of the Jaguars defense,
Speaker 3: and they've got to get some things fixed on the
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball. I mean, seriously, they've got
Speaker 3: some issues on defense. Lists a few out there, like what, well,
Speaker 3: you can't continue to still have the mental break breakdowns
Speaker 3: or mental errors at the pace that you're having so far.
Speaker 3: You're talking about like coverage busts, coverage bus Okay, but
Speaker 3: I also when I say mental errors emmys is what
Speaker 3: for short calleds can't happen in any aspect of the game,
Speaker 3: whether it's against the pass or against the run. The Jaguars, though,
Speaker 3: are doing a pretty good job against the run, I mean,
Speaker 3: look at their rankings. Okay, doing a very good job.
Speaker 3: But against the past, the number of breakdowns and a
Speaker 3: number of times that we see people running open is
Speaker 3: far too frequent. That's got to change, and especially against
Speaker 3: a team like Green Bay who has a balanced attack
Speaker 3: with one of the best running backs in the league
Speaker 3: I think in Josh Jacobs, and then a quarterback who
Speaker 3: is young but good, and then he's got some really
Speaker 3: good weapons. So you better tighten up this week. As
Speaker 3: far as eliminating some of the mental errors. And I
Speaker 3: think maybe the return of Foyer, Lukan, maybe the return
Speaker 3: of Winger might help that.
Speaker 2: There was some of that early in the game where
Speaker 2: they had two off sides and a neutral zone infraction
Speaker 2: on the same defensive possession, like two from Josh.
Speaker 3: That goes into the category of Emmy's as well. Yeah,
Speaker 3: mental errors, you can't have them, no, And look, fortunately
Speaker 3: the Patriots team is in a bit of a redevelopment stage, okay,
Speaker 3: and wasn't exactly the most challenging football team on the
Speaker 3: planet for this Jaguars team at Whimbley, so that helped
Speaker 3: a lot. But this is a little different level. Okay,
Speaker 3: the next four games five games here, Okay, different level
Speaker 3: teams than what you just saw in the New England Patriots.
Speaker 3: And okay, I get it. People who love people say, wow,
Speaker 3: you know this is the NFL, this is not college football.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but there's still different levels in the National
Speaker 3: Football League. That's why they have records, Okay, that's why
Speaker 3: they keep track. Okay, there's teams that have been near
Speaker 3: the bottom consistently for a while, and there's teams that
Speaker 3: are in rebuild modes. And that's the Patriots, and so,
Speaker 3: I mean, that was a good win because they needed
Speaker 3: a win, but let's be honest, it wasn't against a
Speaker 3: great football team, a team that had a rookie quarterback
Speaker 3: that was making a second career start behind an offensive
Speaker 3: line that, oh, by the way, had had their seventh
Speaker 3: different starting offensive line combination of the year in seven games.
Speaker 2: And the right guard came out of the game during
Speaker 2: the game too. I mean, so there was a lot
Speaker 2: of that going on. They've played four different guys that
Speaker 2: left tackle going in. They've had their issue, and there
Speaker 2: still wasn't a lot of push on the quarterback, not
Speaker 2: as much as you'd like, right, like to see in
Speaker 2: a little bit more, like to see a little bit more,
Speaker 2: particularly out of Josh and Trayvon for the entire game.
Speaker 2: Defensive tackle continues to be a spot that's a little
Speaker 2: bit worrisome, you know. The one thing that I liked
Speaker 2: in the game was the changes that they made in
Speaker 2: the back end seemed.
Speaker 3: To help some. They moved Savage to the safety spot,
Speaker 3: Antonio Johnson went to more of just a dime type
Speaker 3: of role. Jari and Jones took over the nickel position
Speaker 3: from Savage because of Savage moving to safety, you know,
Speaker 3: and I think that helped it eliminated some of the breakdowns,
Speaker 3: but you still had some breakdowns in the middle, you know,
Speaker 3: And I think that the return of Foyer a Luken
Speaker 3: will help that in a in a big way. Who
Speaker 3: you take off the field at linebacker?
Speaker 4: Me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, the other person I'm on the show with, Yes,
Speaker 3: you have to be the coach. Yesking, I'm taking Devin
Speaker 3: Lloyd off. Okay, I said it earlier in the week.
Speaker 3: I talked to you about it last week, and that
Speaker 3: you know, he's he plays well against the run, he's athletic,
Speaker 3: he's physical. But the problem and you hear Doug Peterson
Speaker 3: talking about this term called I discipline. How many times
Speaker 3: have we heard that term a lot? Okay? Yeah, And
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's directed directly at Devon, but I
Speaker 3: think part of it is directed at devn and some
Speaker 3: of the mistakes that he's made. And that's you know.
Speaker 3: So the reality is is that you can have two
Speaker 3: starting linebackers on the field when you have a nickel defense,
Speaker 3: okay two, when you go to dime, you only have one.
Speaker 3: Ventro Miller has earned a spot on this football team
Speaker 3: he's earned the right to play more when Foyer comes back,
Speaker 3: because the reality is, when Foyer comes back, he comes
Speaker 3: back as a starter. He's not going to come back
Speaker 3: as a rotational player. And oh, you know, we're gonna
Speaker 3: work him into the lineup because we don't have a
Speaker 3: depth charge. He's your starter now. However, the way he's
Speaker 3: your best linebacker, the way they've played it this year,
Speaker 3: they've taken him off the field, so which I don't
Speaker 3: agree with. I don't think. I mean, look now, when
Speaker 3: he's coming back, you know, you got to work him
Speaker 3: back in, make sure the foot is okay. The plantar
Speaker 3: fasciois that he has, which by the way, I've had
Speaker 3: it back in the day, and extremely extremely painful, uncomfortable
Speaker 3: at times. But there's a lot of things that they
Speaker 3: can do, you know, the orthotics and taping, the food
Speaker 3: and the treatment and everything that he's gotten that I
Speaker 3: think will help him out. But when he comes back,
Speaker 3: he's on field. He's on the field, and then you
Speaker 3: got to maybe give him spells occasionally until you feel
Speaker 3: good about the foot and you feel good about his
Speaker 3: conditioning level. But was I a fan of rotating him
Speaker 3: earlier in the season. Not so much. But the only
Speaker 3: benefit I think that you are the one thing that
Speaker 3: I would say that you benefit from that was because
Speaker 3: he was rotating in. Ventra Miller was rotating in. Then
Speaker 3: he got some experience, I think, which helped him once
Speaker 3: he did finally get in the light on, and then
Speaker 3: he was out there and making plays. Ventro Miller, though,
Speaker 3: JP watching a film of him, I mean, it's a joy.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying he's Ray Lewis or anything
Speaker 3: like that, but there hasn't been a linebacker here in
Speaker 3: quite some time, going all the way back to Pause
Speaker 3: that attacks the line of scrimmage, I know, and Pause
Speaker 3: never even attacked it like that. And look, PA's a
Speaker 3: great player. I'm not saying that. I don't want anybody
Speaker 3: get confused. I'm not saying Ventrel Miller's at the level
Speaker 3: of Pizzlusni. I'm not. Okay, that's a pretty lofty standard,
Speaker 3: okay in Jaguars history, But just the way that Ventrel
Speaker 3: attacks the line of scrimmage is amazing to watch. I
Speaker 3: mean amazing to watch when he fires, he's attacking, when
Speaker 3: he diagnoses offensive linemen are off balance and they're getting
Speaker 3: rocked because he is attacking and running backs are getting rocked.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun to watch. We'll come back
Speaker 2: in just a moment and hear from it. Coach Doug
Speaker 2: Peterson on the opposing quarterback this week, Jordan Love and
Speaker 2: what he has to offer.
Speaker 3: A little bit later. Jaguars offense.
Speaker 2: Can they maintain what they did last week in the
Speaker 2: ground game? Moving forward with Tank Bigsby And we'll see
Speaker 2: a little later the injury report and see where things
Speaker 2: are trending. Now Day two of practice heading into week
Speaker 2: eight in the National Football League. We're on tenon xl
Speaker 2: AM ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube,
Speaker 2: and this is Jaguars Happy Hour, you know.
Speaker 3: So that's that injury.
Speaker 2: Kount Of calls a quarterback down, so he's in the pocket.
Speaker 5: He's seen getting the ball out of the more quick passing,
Speaker 5: the screen game, things like that, you know, have.
Speaker 3: Have helped him.
Speaker 5: And of course they're run game, you know, and and
Speaker 5: getting the ball you know, uh, you know, in Jacob's
Speaker 5: hands and letting him go and they do a great
Speaker 5: job with shifts motions and you know, sort of the
Speaker 5: misdirection stuff too that you got to be prepared for
Speaker 5: and then obviously the play action pass comes off that.
Speaker 5: So you're just seeing I think a quarterback has kind
Speaker 5: of settled in quite frankly since the injury.
Speaker 4: I he's joined a good joe.

Speaker 2: The Packers Jaguars Game presented by Florida Blue, Proud to
Speaker 2: be the exclusive health insurance partner and support the Jacksonville
Speaker 2: community as the official Community Partner of the Jaguars. JP Shadwick,
Speaker 2: Jeff Lockman and the Yeah. The Packers with Jordan Love
Speaker 2: now in eleven straight games, including the playoffs, has two
Speaker 2: or more touchdown passes. Pretty good, right, He's also thrown
Speaker 2: a bunch of interceptions in that time. Fran Oh, yes
Speaker 2: he has.
Speaker 3: He'll put it up. He's missed two games this year
Speaker 3: and he's right around the top of the league with interceptions.
Speaker 3: He's got eight of them. And so when you miss
Speaker 3: two games and you have eight interceptions, that's not a
Speaker 3: very good number. So he's going to give you some opportunities.
Speaker 3: You got to take advantage of it. And if you
Speaker 3: can do that, you would also kind of turn one
Speaker 3: of the numbers that hasn't been so good for your
Speaker 3: defense around, which is the lack of takeaways, which I
Speaker 3: think right now the Jaguars defense might be on a
Speaker 3: record pace for a season low takeaways. What was the low.
Speaker 3: I think it's nine a few years ago and that
Speaker 3: was that was twenty one, wasn't it. I think it
Speaker 3: was twenty one. I think that's the low. We've got
Speaker 3: to confirm that, but we're guessing that. But Jordan Loves
Speaker 3: a good quarterback. What's amazing to me is that he's
Speaker 3: getting ready to make his twenty fourth regular season start
Speaker 3: and him and Trevor Lawrence are on the same pace
Speaker 3: goal fifty five million dollars a year. Because remember, Jordan
Speaker 3: Love didn't do anything for a number of years because
Speaker 3: he sat behind Aaron Rodgers and he didn't even have
Speaker 3: a start. He had one start prior to last year,
Speaker 3: one start prior to last year, and then he started
Speaker 3: all the games last year, had a really good season.
Speaker 3: His career record right now twelve and eleven, and he's
Speaker 3: got an arm that can make all the throws. I
Speaker 3: don't think there's doubting any of his abilities there. But
Speaker 3: he does make some poor decisions at times, which is
Speaker 3: why you see the interception numbers, and you've got to
Speaker 3: you've got to find a way to make the plays
Speaker 3: when given the opportunity, because he's going to throw a
Speaker 3: couple of them up under pressure. He will make a
Speaker 3: poor decision, but you know there's a lot of quarterbacks
Speaker 3: that do that. Trevor's been really good in that category.
Speaker 3: This year kind of been cleaned with the football, making
Speaker 3: good decisions and protecting the football. Jordan Love's kind of
Speaker 3: been the opposite. So if you can make him make
Speaker 3: those mistakes and make those interceptions, you got a really
Speaker 3: good chance. They spread it around a bunch of different
Speaker 3: receivers as well. The Pickers have six players two or
Speaker 3: more touchdowns this year, and it's tied for second most
Speaker 3: in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Buffalo has seven guys with two or more and it's
Speaker 2: the tight end Tucker Craft and the wide receiver down
Speaker 2: Tavian Wicks with four touchdowns each leading the way Virginia
Speaker 2: guy by the way, Wicks, Oh see, yeah he's a
Speaker 2: uva guy.
Speaker 3: Cavalier, Yeah he's a uva guy. But I mean, look,
Speaker 3: they get everybody involved, from Wicks to Watson to Dobbs
Speaker 3: to Reid to Craft the tight end, even Melton who
Speaker 3: is kind of way back on the depth chart at
Speaker 3: wide receiver, but he does a good job of spreading
Speaker 3: the ball round. This is This is the battle of
Speaker 3: two head coaches that have you know, even though Doug
Speaker 3: doesn't call the plays, Lafleur does. From what I understand,
Speaker 3: this is a battle of two very good, offensive minded
Speaker 3: football teams that have to be honest to fifty five
Speaker 3: million dollars year quarterbacks. And I think it's gonna be
Speaker 3: a really good football game. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 3: one that that my popcorn will be ready for because
Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be a lot of offensive firepower
Speaker 3: in this game.
Speaker 2: It is of the five highest paid quarterbacks by average salary.
Speaker 3: Only Jordan Love has a winning record this year. Everybody
Speaker 3: else is fine, kind of amazing, right, right, Dak Prescott's
Speaker 3: in there. Three and three, two is one and one Trevor. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's right. All that money and you got, you got
Speaker 3: not a lot of wins.

Speaker 2: It's Jaguars Happy.
Speaker 3: You know, we talk all this quarterback stuff, but let
Speaker 3: me give some credit to the Packers offensive line because
Speaker 3: they're pretty good. You know, like last week with the Patriots,
Speaker 3: they're seventh different starting offensive line combination. The Packers offensive
Speaker 3: line have started every week the same lineup, and that's
Speaker 3: a good unit. PFF ranks all of the offensive lines. Oh,
Speaker 3: we love them, and I know that you're a big fan.
Speaker 3: PFF has them as a top five offensive line. If
Speaker 3: you evaluated the Jaguars offensive line over the last three weeks,
Speaker 3: you might put them in the top five because they've
Speaker 3: been doing a pretty good job as of late. Right
Speaker 3: now they're down in the twenty somewhere. But that Packers
Speaker 3: offensive line is they're legit, they're good. I think it's
Speaker 3: imperative that Josh and Trayvon have big games this week.
Speaker 3: If you don't get big games from those two guys,
Speaker 3: then it's gonna be hard.
Speaker 2: I'll slipping around out of the Jaguars offense in their
Speaker 2: matchup this week against the Packers defense that leads the
Speaker 2: league with seventeen takeaways. Xavier McKinney had an interception in
Speaker 2: each of the first five games this season. Tyre Alexander
Speaker 2: is on the outside, and we'll tell you about it
Speaker 2: all game long.
Speaker 3: He likes to talk, chirp whatever you want to call that.
Speaker 3: Can this Jaguars offense run like they did last week?
Speaker 3: It's that's the stake. Yes, yeah, I mean, look, if
Speaker 3: you watch the film from last week against Houston, C J.
Speaker 3: Stroud got hammered. He'd had a career low passing yards.
Speaker 3: I wrote the numbers down he had. He was ten
Speaker 3: of twenty one for eighty six yards and a fifty
Speaker 3: eight point eight rating, And then those numbers came when
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon was running wild. I mean Joe Mixon. Joe
Speaker 3: Mixon had a monster game. I got to just point
Speaker 3: it out because I'm watching the film and I'm going
Speaker 3: this might be the best that I've seen Joe Mixon run.
Speaker 3: He was that good and dicing up the Green Bay
Speaker 3: Packers defense, which shocking, right that he's having a monster game,
Speaker 3: and then the quarterback doesn't have at least a good game.
Speaker 3: But the Packers the ability to pressure c. J. Stroud
Speaker 3: and to confuse the protection of the Houston Texans was impressive.
Speaker 3: And that's what I worry about here in this game
Speaker 3: is can the Packers confuse the protection of the Jaguars
Speaker 3: offensive line, tight ends, running backs because they are all
Speaker 3: part of the protection for Trevor Lawrence. Because we've seen
Speaker 3: when Trevor has had early pressure in games, he hasn't
Speaker 3: been as sharp throughout the most the majority part of
Speaker 3: the game. That's the challenge this week because they run
Speaker 3: some cool pressures. Now they run. They don't play like
Speaker 3: you know, they're not going back to Rex Ryan Zeros
Speaker 3: and sending the house. They play a lot of zone
Speaker 3: blitz and the Texans had a hard time figuring out
Speaker 3: who was coming and who is not and can we
Speaker 3: block them all.
Speaker 2: They rotated every time, and different guys are dropping out
Speaker 2: and doing all that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did a really good job with that.
Speaker 2: We seemed to watch for sure, and you know, challenge
Speaker 2: and they were the way it worked last week. And
Speaker 2: I get, yes, it's the Patriots, but they hit a
Speaker 2: couple of shots when they were there down the field,
Speaker 2: like there were a couple of big time throws from
Speaker 2: Trevor in that game to you know, when they were
Speaker 2: even before they started running the ball. That first the
Speaker 2: drive after their down ten nothing, second and nine throw
Speaker 2: to Christian Kirk, which was a great catch by the
Speaker 2: great catch, great throw, big moment, had to have that drive,
Speaker 2: got it done.
Speaker 3: And of course the deep ball later to Brian Thomas
Speaker 3: right of the numbers, a great, great route, and the
Speaker 3: one to Kirk just real quick on that one, real
Speaker 3: small window because you know you had a you know,
Speaker 3: a defender in front, defender behind, and so to be
Speaker 3: able to kind of get that in there by Trevor,
Speaker 3: that was a great throw, great catch as well. And
Speaker 3: then the deep ball to Brian Thomas and the Patriots
Speaker 3: were playing what is called quarters coverage and not to
Speaker 3: be overly football complicated. Quarters is for people to understand it,
Speaker 3: just think of four quarters equals a dollar. There's four
Speaker 3: guys in the back end playing twenty five percent zones
Speaker 3: in the background. Okay, And what Brian did which was
Speaker 3: really cool, is that he attacked the one guy, which
Speaker 3: was Gonzales in the quarters coverage and made sure that
Speaker 3: the other defender said, oh, he's going over there for
Speaker 3: Gonzales and is not even going to be in my area.
Speaker 3: But then Brian, after he attacks Gonzales, kind of bends
Speaker 3: it back to the middle and that's really where there
Speaker 3: should have been a little extra help. But Brian ran
Speaker 3: a great route to keep all the attention away from
Speaker 3: himself from that middle safety kind of player. And what
Speaker 3: a catch. I mean, Gonzalez had his arm right across
Speaker 3: across the bread basket of the hands of Brian Thomas
Speaker 3: Junior and he still catches it. Amazing catch. And if
Speaker 3: teams are going to keep playing Brian Thomas like that,
Speaker 3: they better start thinking about doubling him. I hope they don't.
Speaker 3: I hope they don't, but keep playing him like that.
Speaker 3: And if you're Doug Peterson and press Taylor. You got
Speaker 3: to keep finding ways to get him singled and deep
Speaker 3: because I mean, right now, is there a better deep
Speaker 3: receiver in the game.
Speaker 2: Today's it's his third catch of fifty plus yards. It's
Speaker 2: tired for the most in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you go, I'm not trying to you know,
Speaker 3: I don't want to get a speeding ticket here and
Speaker 3: say that he's you know, the greatest things in sliced
Speaker 3: bread ever. But he's really good. You're saying really good.
Speaker 3: Don't suit him up for a teal jacket yet? Yes, okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: but he's a He's a joy to watch. I can
Speaker 3: tell you that. I mean, look, can you think of
Speaker 3: any other player on this Jaguars roster that has given
Speaker 3: more energy to this team in game so far this year?
Speaker 2: I mean, Tank Bigsby's getting there right when they has
Speaker 2: some big runs like that and the breakaway run the
Speaker 2: other week. I mean there's some of that, but consistently
Speaker 2: it's been the down.
Speaker 3: To fit Brian shot to. I mean, he's Thomas. He
Speaker 3: has woken this team up in a lot of cases.
Speaker 3: And we always know that explosive plays are kind of
Speaker 3: what leads to points in the NFL. Well, I mean,
Speaker 3: he's an explosive play waiting to happen.
Speaker 2: We've got plenty to discuss. Kayle Stevens will join us
Speaker 2: to discuss at all, and we have to get into
Speaker 2: this Jaguars running game a little bit more as well.
Speaker 2: We'll hear from Tank Bigsby in just a little bit
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. When we return, pri Productions, the official event

Speaker 4: Stevens's JP Shadrick.
Speaker 3: You do everything around here. Let's yes, and we thank
Speaker 3: you for it.
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm good You're back here so I don't have to
Speaker 4: fill in on happy hour.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for all your efforts. The last few weeks.
Speaker 3: It's been a lot of moving parts, happy to help
Speaker 3: it works.
Speaker 2: Teams back, teams winning or won a game one yes,
Speaker 2: felt okay in.
Speaker 3: The locker room. Last couple of days.
Speaker 4: It has, and I think obviously coming back from London,
Speaker 4: they absolutely needed that win. To get on that plane
Speaker 4: without a win was going to be not great for anybody,
Speaker 4: So that's definitely given them a little life. I think
Speaker 4: the way that they did it was big because to
Speaker 4: fall down ten, here we go again, what we've seen
Speaker 4: all season long, To fight back a little bit and
Speaker 4: then have the offense have so much success was impressive
Speaker 4: to me. We finally saw some changes defensively, which I
Speaker 4: think a lot of people were hoping would happen a
Speaker 4: little bit sooner. But we're finally the team's getting a
Speaker 4: little healthy. We're seeing some of those changes on the
Speaker 4: back end. There more players coming back to help out
Speaker 4: with that, so potentially this week as well. So I
Speaker 4: think it's all trending positive. Of course, you know, week
Speaker 4: to week, it's just a lot easier to work on
Speaker 4: stuff when you get a win the week before.
Speaker 3: In a big way. I just you know, it's like
Speaker 3: I remember when I was in high school and playing
Speaker 3: at Parkview High School, we had a head coach who
Speaker 3: was a little bit of a taskmaster, you know, a
Speaker 3: little stern, you know, and if you lost, you weren't
Speaker 3: allowed to talk on the bus ride home, you know,
Speaker 3: So like when you have a long trip, I mean, look,
Speaker 3: you know that's a long flight to have with you know,
Speaker 3: nobody talking on the way home, even though they're allowed
Speaker 3: to talk. But I mean it's still it's that mindset
Speaker 3: when you have a game that you lose, you've got
Speaker 3: to kind of you got to soak in it for
Speaker 3: that long on a plane ride back. And so I'm
Speaker 3: glad they got the win. If you had lost the Patriots,
Speaker 3: I think things would have gotten very loud. I mean,
Speaker 3: I mean really loud loud anyway.
Speaker 4: But yeah, well not just outside inside it loud.
Speaker 3: It would have been loud, really loud. And the reality
Speaker 3: is is that you're kind of back where you 're
Speaker 3: at prior to that game if you lose this one.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the reality.
Speaker 4: It is because they've dug themselves into such a deep
Speaker 4: poll at this point.
Speaker 3: That's right, And this is a good football team in
Speaker 3: a stretch that has a lot of good football teams,
Speaker 3: and this football team is going to challenge your defense,
Speaker 3: so your offense needs to be on point.
Speaker 4: That's wrong, up with it? I think got to win
Speaker 4: a shootout at this point. I don't know how much
Speaker 4: you're gonna be able to show slow green Bay down.
Speaker 4: So hopefully what we saw last week from the offense
Speaker 4: carry that over, score a lot of points and have
Speaker 4: the ball last. Right.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to take I mean thirty points
Speaker 3: to win this game. Boy, maybe thirty five? Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean I think that's where it's going to be a
Speaker 3: lot of points. Yeah, I mean, what is green Bay
Speaker 3: average in twenty seven? A lot? What are we giving
Speaker 3: up the game a lot, a whole lot, so it's
Speaker 3: kind of interesting. And that you have, Okay, the Jaguars offense,
Speaker 3: which is a strong suit, okay against Packers defense that's
Speaker 3: getting a ton of takeaways that you think, okay, you
Speaker 3: think you feel good about the Jaguars chances there, but
Speaker 3: at the same time you're going, well, well, waiting minute,
Speaker 3: Green Bay's been pretty good, and then the Jaguars defensive matchup,
Speaker 3: you don't feel good about it all.
Speaker 4: I don't feel great.
Speaker 3: Do you feel good about any part of the Jaguars
Speaker 3: defense versus the Packers offense matchup? I mean not on paper, No,
Speaker 3: I don't. I mean, it's just okay, let's put the
Speaker 3: papers away in your heart defense, in your heart of
Speaker 3: your head. Do you feel good about that? It's not
Speaker 3: a great match yeah. I mean, even if you say that,
Speaker 3: I think we're hopeful.
Speaker 4: Yes, and that's a good place to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're hopeful that. Okay, Tyson second game back, Foyer
Speaker 3: coming back, maybe a winger, not sure, you know, hopefully
Speaker 3: Foyers back, Maybe end up having a couple of takeaways
Speaker 3: as a defense, but right now you haven't been getting
Speaker 3: them three all year.
Speaker 4: Two on defense right, Jordan Love will give you a chance,
Speaker 4: though I think similarly to the Patriots, Drake May gave
Speaker 4: a couple of shots he dropped probably at least two,
Speaker 4: so the opportunity will be there. I think Trevor's been
Speaker 4: really good smart with the football this year. I don't
Speaker 4: think we give him enough credit for that because fumbling
Speaker 4: was a probably Jim turnovers were a problem for him. Interceptions,
Speaker 4: He's only turned the ball over a couple of times,
Speaker 4: so he's been smart with the football. If the defense
Speaker 4: can get off the field some of those times, I
Speaker 4: think that gives you more of a chance to get
Speaker 4: the offense going.
Speaker 2: And another part of this offense, certainly last week, they
Speaker 2: ran the ball in the second half, they had that
Speaker 2: long stretch of plays where they ran seventeen in a row,
Speaker 2: and Tank Bigsby did not put the ball on the deck.
Speaker 3: Last week in the running game, he dropped a pass.
Speaker 3: That was one. But when are we going to get
Speaker 3: past the point of talking about that one until he
Speaker 3: consistently doesn't do it.
Speaker 2: It's gonna take a while, right, don't have the same thing.
Speaker 2: Right one year he's fumbling the ball, next year, didn't
Speaker 2: fumble it at all. He didn't say it, and then
Speaker 2: we won this year, fumbles the football again, so it's
Speaker 2: a topic.
Speaker 4: Also, it's not far. I mean Tank didn't do last game,
Speaker 4: but he's done it within last month, so you know,
Speaker 4: sometimes it doesn't hurt him because it's on a kick
Speaker 4: return and they get.
Speaker 3: The ball back or whatever may.
Speaker 4: But that's coaches noticed that that's still ball security.
Speaker 3: That's still a problem, and that's what the opponents are coaching.
Speaker 3: When like the last game against the Patriots, when you
Speaker 3: actually watch the game and you watch the film, you
Speaker 3: could see that the defenders were treating him and Durness
Speaker 3: Johnson differently a little bit. I'm seriously you, I mean,
Speaker 3: they were really going after the ball when Tank had
Speaker 3: it in his possession versus like a Durness Johnson. And
Speaker 3: that's just that's coaching awareness by you know, the opposing team.
Speaker 3: Because the fact of the matter is is that he
Speaker 3: has put the ball on the carpet a few times.
Speaker 3: He's lost four fumbles in his career, and that was
Speaker 3: I think when he had like ninety touches and that's
Speaker 3: a pretty high rate. He's obviously had some more touches
Speaker 3: and hasn't lost it since then, but he's put it
Speaker 3: on the ground, you know, just been fortunate enough to
Speaker 3: get that ball back. And so I think, to answer
Speaker 3: my own question, when do you stop talking about that?
Speaker 3: Is maybe when he has a season that finishes and
Speaker 3: you're not seeing that anymore.
Speaker 2: Looking for the MVP of the truck game, better check
Speaker 2: out the twenty twenty four Ford F one fifty. Loaded
Speaker 2: with impressive capability and game changing tech. You can dominate,
Speaker 2: work play and everything in between. Test driving F one
Speaker 2: fifty at your local Ford dealer. Prop partner of the
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars, We're on ten to XL ninety two point
Speaker 2: five FM, Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube tonight, Jaguars
Speaker 2: All Access Television.
Speaker 3: Back at Home Base right at Strings.
Speaker 4: We are back. We've been gone for a while Hurricane
Speaker 4: and then we were in London. So we are now
Speaker 4: back at Strings. Jeff can get his favorite meal of
Speaker 4: the week, and then we're gonna get to talk to
Speaker 4: some players. Ventrel Miller's going to be with us this week.
Speaker 4: Oh cool, Yeah, absolutely, He's just such a character. It's
Speaker 4: great his I don't know if you guys watched sounds
Speaker 4: of the game yet, but it's out, and he did
Speaker 4: one of the pregame speeches in the huddles and I
Speaker 4: didn't understand all of what he was saying. I was
Speaker 4: very excited. I feel like people would run through a
Speaker 4: wall for him.
Speaker 3: You know, every week when I watched the film, and
Speaker 3: Kay's seen my list before, and I've shown some of
Speaker 3: the plays to her and JP, you've seen my list before.
Speaker 3: You know, when I watched the film, I'll write down
Speaker 3: the play number and then a description. Sometimes good, some
Speaker 3: things are good, sometimes things are bad. Well with Ventro,
Speaker 3: much like with Brenton Strange, over the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 3: I had a pretty good section of him every week
Speaker 3: of how good he's been. This week not so much
Speaker 3: with him, but I had a section on Ventrel and
Speaker 3: there were like six plays that he had in this
Speaker 3: game that I'm just were to me, wow moments. I mean,
Speaker 3: where he's attacking, he's running through the tackles. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's a special talent. And for a young player that
Speaker 3: how he reacts in such a quick fashion and then
Speaker 3: attacks where he needs to attack without hesitation is very rare.
Speaker 3: It's very rare. Sometimes it takes time and time on
Speaker 3: task to feel or gain that confidence to attack it
Speaker 3: like that. But he's rolling, man, he is rolling. Fun
Speaker 3: to watch TFLs attacking guards. He's literally he's hitting guards
Speaker 3: that are pulling around into a hole for him before
Speaker 3: they even can get square in a hole. That's how
Speaker 3: fast he's getting there. He's hitting them when they're in
Speaker 3: a weak position. That's fast. That's playing downhill.
Speaker 2: Love that Jaguars have invested in that position over the
Speaker 2: last few years a lot.
Speaker 3: But here's the other thing we keep forgetting. He tour
Speaker 3: his achilles last year, right, I mean we're talking about
Speaker 3: a guy who's coming back from a torn achilles. I mean,
Speaker 3: do you guys see any signs.
Speaker 4: Of You'd see no hesitation, you'd see no side of it.
Speaker 3: Now, No, that's impressive alone by itself, just being out there.
Speaker 4: So and in that capacity essentially a rookie. Yes, he
Speaker 4: didn't play last year.
Speaker 3: No, he didn't play last year at all. I mean
Speaker 3: went down in the preseason. And now what you're talking about,
Speaker 3: you know, the sounds of the game, he's getting the
Speaker 3: team amped up before the game and he's a second
Speaker 3: year player, is really a rookie. I mean that's pretty
Speaker 3: cool to see, you know, young player kind of take
Speaker 3: that role. But I think what it also says is
Speaker 3: that there hasn't been enough of that coming from elsewhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some other veteran guys around here that that's
Speaker 2: kind of not how they roll.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean some guys have it, some guys don't,
Speaker 3: but take it. You got to have some of that.
Speaker 4: On the field too. We've been saying it for weeks.
Speaker 4: Playmakers got to make plays. So if you want to
Speaker 4: lead by example and you don't want to yell at everybody,
Speaker 4: you got to do that too. Haven't seen that from everybody.
Speaker 3: Who's that in the Jags broadcasting department?
Speaker 4: You thinkers make plays?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, the one to like shake everybody up
Speaker 2: and do like the breakdown.
Speaker 3: Who you think would that be? M you? I think you? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think yeah. I don't know. I think it goes on.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, oh, yeah, imagine you imagine John
Speaker 2: Oser trying to break down the group.
Speaker 4: Yes, I would run through a wall for John Oser.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Johnny Ozone. But you know what, though I love them,
Speaker 3: the stuff that he writes on Jaguars dot com is money.
Speaker 3: It's almost like his job gold. I've said this before,
Speaker 3: when when First of all, I've known John for a
Speaker 3: long time back when he has ponytail.
Speaker 4: Great, I need more photos of that.
Speaker 3: By the way, wow uh yeah.
Speaker 4: Jags fans out there, if you want to at me
Speaker 4: on Twitter, I would love to see John Oser's ponytail photos.
Speaker 3: And when he has when he left here, he I
Speaker 3: know he was in Indianapolis for a while, and because
Speaker 3: the Colts were in the division, I would in the
Speaker 3: The Coults at the time had a PR director that
Speaker 3: was horrendous, horrendous, you know. I mean, maybe their PR
Speaker 3: director wasn't horrendous, but their weekly game release was horrendous.
Speaker 3: It was literally like a It's like an accountant's book.
Speaker 3: Look at all what Peyton Manning's done. He's done this,
Speaker 3: and he's done that.
Speaker 4: What else?
Speaker 3: My point is is that the whole reason for having
Speaker 3: a weekly release is to give the nuggets to all
Speaker 3: the broadcast departments and media members so that they don't
Speaker 3: have to decipher all of these numbers. Give them nuggets
Speaker 3: cliff notes, give them the cliff notes version. What does
Speaker 3: it have to do with Okay, because you didn't get
Speaker 3: that the Cults press release, you had to read John
Speaker 3: at wherever he was whether it was at the newspaper
Speaker 3: or Colts dot com. And if you read his stuff,
Speaker 3: you got every main storyline that you needed to get
Speaker 3: about the Colts. And it's the same thing with the Jaguars.
Speaker 3: And and I'm not saying that because I've known John
Speaker 3: long time and I didn't. I definitely did not like
Speaker 3: the Ponytail. But he is a talented writer who does
Speaker 3: a great job. I guess no, Joe, he didn't like
Speaker 3: yours either. He did not pay me for this at
Speaker 3: all either. Okay, that we know of, he did not.
Speaker 3: Jaguars h's too cheap to pay anybody. Oh wow, you
Speaker 3: guys know that.
Speaker 2: No comment at Jaguars All Access Television tonight seven o'clock,

Speaker 1: at each other's face all.
Speaker 3: Day, you know, all day. Yeah man, I'm hollday. So
Speaker 3: you know, it's an energy thing. I feel like it
Speaker 3: came back.
Speaker 2: We had a great pratacy today, but we just got
Speaker 2: to take care of the little things and go out
Speaker 2: and insecure high love Oh.
Speaker 3: Of is cartavious tank Bigsby in the locker room.
Speaker 2: This week, Jaguars running back Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour,
Speaker 2: JP Shatterwick floggingman our thanks to Kay Stevens joining us
Speaker 2: each and every week. Yeah, Tank Bigsby another one hundred
Speaker 2: yard game, two in the last three weeks, of course,
Speaker 2: and put together a fantastic effort last time out at
Speaker 2: Wembley and hoping to carry that over this week. We'll
Speaker 2: see the status of Travis et and Junior again. We'll
Speaker 2: see what happens with that ham string. But ham strings
Speaker 2: are not good for running backs.
Speaker 3: No, no, yeah, so look very very good that they
Speaker 3: have the running back room that they do. And the
Speaker 3: emergence obviously of Bigsby has been huge for this offense.
Speaker 3: And when each end gets back. You know, there's been
Speaker 3: so many questions that Doug, I think in the last
Speaker 3: couple of weeks really about, you know, does Bigsby become
Speaker 3: your starter? And I've been kind of a little bit
Speaker 3: I don't want to say myths, but confused by the
Speaker 3: question because you know, look, each guy does different things well,
Speaker 3: and you can have two running backs that essentially are
Speaker 3: co starters. It's okay, well, I mean one's going to
Speaker 3: be on the field the first play of the game
Speaker 3: exactly your starter, and and the other part of that
Speaker 3: that I want to say, I'm mythed By. I'm also
Speaker 3: kind of surprised by the answer and that Doug says, well, hey, look,
Speaker 3: you can't lose your job because of injury. It happens
Speaker 3: all the time in the National Football League. Guys lose
Speaker 3: their jobs because of injury all the time. Happens Drew
Speaker 3: Bledsoe lost his job because of an injury, and then
Speaker 3: Tom Brady came in and then never came out. Trent Green,
Speaker 3: Trent Green, Saint Thwait with Kurt Warner. Okay, it happens,
Speaker 3: and so I wish that Doug had said, hey, look,
Speaker 3: we really kind of have two starters here, and this
Speaker 3: it's all about team, and you know, we're gonna do
Speaker 3: what's best for the team.
Speaker 2: I mean, in reality, when Travis is back, he's gonna
Speaker 2: play something, and they're both gonna play like they did before.
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly the percentage of snaps they're both
Speaker 2: gonna be on the field certain situations Travis is really
Speaker 2: good for and the Tanks getting better at.
Speaker 3: All of it. Tank's still not the receiver though, correct. Okay,
Speaker 3: you're saying he's getting better at all of it. I
Speaker 3: don't say not all of it. He didn't he dropped
Speaker 3: the ball last week. He dropped the ball on what
Speaker 3: would have been maybe a fifty yard gain on a screen.
Speaker 2: Because that in theory, that gives the defense a queue,
Speaker 2: Well what's coming if he's out on the field, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, yeah, yes, and no, I mean yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean you got you. But you have to play
Speaker 3: to the strengths of the running back. I mean you
Speaker 3: can still kind of confuse defense and it's not always
Speaker 3: going to be a run in Tank Big Toby. You know,
Speaker 3: when he's in on the field, you can still pass it.
Speaker 3: Play action is a huge part of that. But but yeah,
Speaker 3: I just you really have two really good, starting caliber
Speaker 3: running backs. Etn is a is an excellent, excellent receiver
Speaker 3: out of the backfield, catches balls that most running backs
Speaker 3: would not catch. And so that's a really good thing.
Speaker 3: And let give credit to de Ernest Johnson. He had
Speaker 3: a solid game, solid game. He kind of took over
Speaker 3: that role that Etn kind of had filled. But more
Speaker 3: than that too, he he does a really good job
Speaker 3: in the running game, you know, the straight running game.
Speaker 3: Given Tank blows and but Tank's got great endurance too
Speaker 3: to be able to stay on the field for the
Speaker 3: number of possessions, you know, twenty six carries. I mean
Speaker 3: you talking about a workhorse effort that he really didn't
Speaker 3: look tired or slow on any of those snaps.
Speaker 2: Jernie Johnson's path is pretty fascinating to an undrafted guy
Speaker 2: and then went fishing for an offseason and then signed
Speaker 2: in the UFL and with the.
Speaker 3: Team that the league folded, and.
Speaker 2: Then got latched on with a team and kind of
Speaker 2: just hung around and built his career up and he's
Speaker 2: still at it, so he's been good player things. Time
Speaker 2: now for the injury report presented by Baptist Health, changing
Speaker 2: healthcare for good, and let's start with your Jacksonville Jaguars
Speaker 2: and Eric Armstead defensive end with a shoulder injury limited
Speaker 2: both days in practice, Gabe Davis battling a knee issue,
Speaker 2: limited both days. Evan Ingram with a hamstring injury limited Wednesday,
Speaker 2: full today, Travis et and junior hamstring limited both days,
Speaker 2: says he O to Maywoe defensive tackle calf injury limited
Speaker 2: both days. Cam Robinson in concussion protocol, did not practice Wednesday,
Speaker 2: limited today. That's a step in the right direction. We'll
Speaker 2: see what happens tomorrow, and if they clear him by
Speaker 2: the weekend, we'll get to this conversation in a moment.
Speaker 2: Fo Yer looking with a foot issue limited both days.
Speaker 2: His windows open of course. Andrew Winger knee injury limited
Speaker 2: both days. Now, if Cam Robinson clears protocol, does he
Speaker 2: get back in the lineup at left tackle?
Speaker 3: Is Walker Little done enough to play and have it?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: It was an injury, right, so he can't lose his
Speaker 3: job because of an injury. I don't know. Uh, I'm
Speaker 3: going to go back and I'm say this again. People
Speaker 3: lose their jobs to injury all the time, and it
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that you're going to lose it for the
Speaker 3: long term. I think you also can be a little
Speaker 3: bit cautious with a player coming back from the concussion
Speaker 3: protocol to maybe, you know, hold him out and even
Speaker 3: if he clears, let's say he clears the protocol and
Speaker 3: he's eligible to come back, you say, hey, look, let's
Speaker 3: just make sure that we get him back completely and
Speaker 3: we can play Walker Little this week, because reality is
Speaker 3: Walker Little played his rear end off. If he's cleared
Speaker 3: then he's cleared that starting left tackle here since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3: If he's cleared and doesn't play, that's a massive story.
Speaker 3: I don't know about massive. I mean it's it's a
Speaker 3: it's a story. It's a story. Yeah, but I don't
Speaker 3: know about massive. It's a big deal to me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Guy's been the story left tackles for two players, and
Speaker 3: I think it would be all. I think it would
Speaker 3: also become a bit of a story if he's cleared
Speaker 3: because of what Doug said about the running back position
Speaker 3: with ETN and all that. Yeah, to that extent. But
Speaker 3: the fact is is that Walker Little played very well.
Speaker 3: Was there a great player on the other side of
Speaker 3: him that he had to block? No. But the one
Speaker 3: thing that Walker did which was really good in the game,
Speaker 3: and Biselli thinks he had the highest grade of any
Speaker 3: offensive lineman, and I would not disagree with that. The
Speaker 3: thing that he did the best was that how he's
Speaker 3: strained in the running game, how he finished and he's
Speaker 3: got his footwork was really solid. And that's always been
Speaker 3: a little bit better than Cam. And the part that
Speaker 3: I think that Cam's lost a little bit is some
Speaker 3: of the finish that he used to have in the
Speaker 3: run game. But the performance of Walker, you could argue
Speaker 3: that it warrants another start, and if the guy has
Speaker 3: to be put into the reserve lineup, maybe given another
Speaker 3: week to get completely healthy with that concussion. Maybe, But
Speaker 3: I agree it's going to be a story. It is
Speaker 3: if he's cleared. If he's clear, If he's cleared, we'll
Speaker 3: see Walker starts. Dennis the story because I mean for
Speaker 3: a couple of different reasons, because he's been the left
Speaker 3: tackle here for a while. Number two because of an injury.
Speaker 3: We'll see them. By the way he got he got
Speaker 3: rocked a couple of times. Yeah, you know, in the
Speaker 3: first five plays of the game, he took a hit
Speaker 3: from the linebacker and then a defensive lineman and you
Speaker 3: could just really see the violence of it, and I'm
Speaker 3: sure it didn't feel very good.
