Speaker 1: presented by the Fields Tago Group and now Johnio's personal
Speaker 1: val since Jack shad Rick. But I also know who's
Speaker 1: been enjoying happy hour already. Welcome in to Jaguars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: presented by the Fields Auto Group. We are Digital J P. Shadrick.
Speaker 1: That's John Osier. That over there is Joe Fortunato. Thanks
Speaker 1: for being with us today, John, have you figured out
Speaker 1: your chair yet? Are you having some misuse there? Back
Speaker 1: and forth everybody does. We've got quite a show to
Speaker 1: get to today. The news of the day. We'll get
Speaker 1: to that. Coming up. Panthers Week has started. The Jags
Speaker 1: and the Panthers coming up Sunday in Charlotte. Social media questions.
Speaker 1: If we get some coming in, we'll get to him.
Speaker 1: The bat signal has been sent out. We'll see if
Speaker 1: anybody responds. Uniform unvailing. Jimmy Luck will join us in studio.
Speaker 1: We'll get some players to watch Chris Conley will join
Speaker 1: us with a guest to be day would be good.
Speaker 1: See if it's just Chris. Chris is great. Every he's
Speaker 1: been great. Yeah. We had Andrew Wingard last week and uh,
Speaker 1: he was fantastic, really good. All the guys have been good.
Speaker 1: Hating a week before that. We're good on the whole list.
Speaker 1: We don't need to we're all good. We're all good.
Speaker 1: We'll see who he braves. We'll see who he surprises
Speaker 1: us with this week. That should be a good one.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the news. Oh the day. I guess
Speaker 1: the biggest storyline that nationally you'll see around this team
Speaker 1: was the Ramsey stuff outside of the building. He did
Speaker 1: not practice again today, and Doug Maroon said it's basically
Speaker 1: a day to day thing with Jalen um, what's your
Speaker 1: what's your guest here? Well, it's interesting to me the
Speaker 1: jail and thing to see following it, what we all
Speaker 1: sort of know and feel up close compared to the
Speaker 1: national the Twitter, and oftentimes what happens is over time
Speaker 1: everything starts to feel like it's finally telling one story,
Speaker 1: and at first it felt like different stories, with people
Speaker 1: around here saying, well, trade probably not and nationally trade
Speaker 1: probably so well. Today there were some stories that people
Speaker 1: nationally Adam schefter people you know, that it looks like
Speaker 1: Jayalen won't be traded. Well, it's been my feeling for
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Ever since the first initial breu
Speaker 1: haa haa, you know went down, there's been an overall feeling, Hey, look,
Speaker 1: this thing is gonna play out, but we're not anywhere
Speaker 1: to trade him. We haven't gotten any deal that it
Speaker 1: goes his way in why not? Has been sort of
Speaker 1: feeling around here, what's our hurry to trade him? Um?
Speaker 1: So I think what's gonna happen is what I started
Speaker 1: sort of thinking and saying last week. Jalen is not
Speaker 1: getting traded during the season. I know what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: to the offseason. The back thing, by the way, is real.
Speaker 1: Everybody you know what rolls their eyes, and I get
Speaker 1: why they roll their eyes because he has created a
Speaker 1: atmosphere of skepticism. But the back thing is real. He
Speaker 1: didn't play wins suddenly because of the back. It's still real.
Speaker 1: But over time I think we'll be it'll be proven
Speaker 1: out that when he is healthy he will play, and
Speaker 1: I expect him to play out of what twelve games left.
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.
Speaker 1: But I think that will be proven out, uh to
Speaker 1: where he'll play went healthy and probably play tenny levenmore
Speaker 1: games is here. Yeah, it's we've said this a lot
Speaker 1: about him, and we know him from the building. We don't,
Speaker 1: you know, have have dinner with him or any that
Speaker 1: kind of said Max, Max, Mike. It's different on our
Speaker 1: crew here. But my point is that as much as
Speaker 1: we know him around the building, he doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: the guy to just sit out out of spice. You know,
Speaker 1: well there's something real there. If he's really gonna sit
Speaker 1: out and his first ever football game ever, you right, Um,
Speaker 1: I would think he's a football player beyond anything else
Speaker 1: that you know about jail in that and he's a
Speaker 1: different guy, so reading him is difficult. Figuring out what
Speaker 1: he's thinking. He's difficult. I think it's about his I
Speaker 1: think he likes that. But you don't doubt that he
Speaker 1: loves to play, and I've never doubted that he wants
Speaker 1: to be great. He wants to be known as the
Speaker 1: best cornerback in football. I'm sure somewhere inside he'd like
Speaker 1: to be known as the best quarterback, best cornerback of
Speaker 1: all time. That's and he works to that end. Well,
Speaker 1: you don't do that if you don't play, and I don't.
Speaker 1: I think he likes to win, and I think this
Speaker 1: thing going on right now is it is a positive
Speaker 1: thing right now? Yeah, I think we've overthought it to
Speaker 1: the degree, probably based on some of the things he's done,
Speaker 1: and forgotten that he's under contract. He's under contract for
Speaker 1: two or three more years. He's a he's a Jaguar.
Speaker 1: He has played well in the past. Um. I just
Speaker 1: think in in a few weeks this maybe looked back
Speaker 1: at as a I don't say blip, because it's too
Speaker 1: big to be a blip, but it's something that's in
Speaker 1: the past and we're moving away from it and wondering
Speaker 1: why it got to be such a big deal in
Speaker 1: the short term. Now, I have no idea what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen next off season. But for this year, twelve games,
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if he hasn't played ten, be part
Speaker 1: of the and be as much a part of it
Speaker 1: as he's always been. Thinking about Jalen Is he's not
Speaker 1: team leader guy. He's not rally though, the guy that
Speaker 1: everybody's following. He's a cornerback, sort of a hired gun
Speaker 1: if you will, to point out that he's alienated from teammates,
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's not like he's leading the charge
Speaker 1: in the locker room and setting the tone by by things.
Speaker 1: He says. He's a great player who I believe will
Speaker 1: play great for this team over the last three months
Speaker 1: of the season. And that's what we'll see. Thanks Forest
Speaker 1: um So well, we'll see what happens day to day here.
Speaker 1: You know, it'll be uh as Doug Maron said, that
Speaker 1: will be how it goes this week with the back
Speaker 1: issue with Jalen Ramsey another one all that said, I
Speaker 1: have no idea if it plays Sunday because the back
Speaker 1: thing is real. Right, you just don't know, so all
Speaker 1: you want, but that's why it's happening right now. That's right.
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew walked into his press conference today after practice,
Speaker 1: walk on the practice field with a brace on that
Speaker 1: knee that was hit in the Denver game. He said,
Speaker 1: it's fine, he said, you know, after the game, he said,
Speaker 1: it's just football stuff. Don't worry about it. That's my son.
Speaker 1: And after the game he said, it's not you know,
Speaker 1: it's a little abnormal to have it. He's not used
Speaker 1: to it, but hey, he's playing through it, going out
Speaker 1: there and playing. So he was on the practice field today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's probably worse than he's letting on. I
Speaker 1: think it's something that he'll be able to play. Theories
Speaker 1: he played through the other day and uh, I mean
Speaker 1: he's obviously Superman JP, so he can do anything. Why
Speaker 1: not At this point, I'm convinced that if he had
Speaker 1: to carry the leg out in like a guitar case
Speaker 1: and play on one leg, that he would find a
Speaker 1: way to do it because mins she made let me
Speaker 1: throw a touchdown And I'm being obviously way of reacting,
Speaker 1: but but he's a tough kid. He's got a magic
Speaker 1: to him. He played the other day with the knee.
Speaker 1: It's it's not like a high ankle spring where you
Speaker 1: play through adrenaline with a knee. You know, if it
Speaker 1: had been bad enugh to keep him out this week,
Speaker 1: I think could have kept him out of that game
Speaker 1: last week and at the end, but he is uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we can do I feel the entire show
Speaker 1: with earlatives, but beyond everything else, smart he's obviously tough.
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he doesn't play on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and I'd be surprised at this point I didn't play well.
Speaker 1: He's done everything you can ask him him so far.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's done it in different situations. Rallied
Speaker 1: his team down the stretch in Houston when he had
Speaker 1: to and the offense hadn't done anything all day. Of course,
Speaker 1: the big win against Tennessee, and then you saw what
Speaker 1: happened in Denver on Sunday and he did it getting
Speaker 1: hit twelve times in that game. So taking a lot
Speaker 1: of shots, still making throws. Um that a lot of people,
Speaker 1: a lot of skeptics in the draft, thought he might
Speaker 1: not be able to make in the NFL. He's making
Speaker 1: those throws and he made a lot of him on
Speaker 1: one leg in the last drive last week. So we'll
Speaker 1: see if you can carry that. When I found his
Speaker 1: answer to your question today, John interesting, when you asked him,
Speaker 1: how do you you know, separate the mania from the football,
Speaker 1: And he seems like he's got it pretty compartmentalized, like
Speaker 1: he has a pretty good way to go about that.
Speaker 1: I thought I wanted to do in the locker room day.
Speaker 1: I wanted ask Gardner about that, and I expect with
Speaker 1: Gardner Gardner is is a professional quarterback in this sense.
Speaker 1: He knows how to handle the media. He knows he's
Speaker 1: gonna go in there. He's gonna make three or four
Speaker 1: MINSHEU mania jokes, self depreciating mustache jokes. Everybody's gonna laugh,
Speaker 1: and it's great. But when you actually ask him about
Speaker 1: anything sort of real about the other team, he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna give the proper quarterback answer. He's gonna say
Speaker 1: things professionally. So he said, yeah, I keep the Mania
Speaker 1: stuff separate. He's aware that it's out there. You can't
Speaker 1: not be aware, but that that's all what goes on
Speaker 1: on the field, um or what goes on outside the
Speaker 1: locker room. What was interesting to me. I talked to
Speaker 1: James O'Shaughnessy Chris Conley DJ Chark about him in the
Speaker 1: locker room, and O'Shaughnessy was really interesting, and he said,
Speaker 1: what's really impressive about him is he said, when I
Speaker 1: came into the league, meaning I O'Shaughnessy came in the league,
Speaker 1: he said, I had trouble staying late to work on
Speaker 1: to work extra because I was so overwhelmed by being
Speaker 1: in the NFL and everything that was going on around him.
Speaker 1: For this guy to be able to do this as
Speaker 1: a quarterback with everything a quarterback has to take in
Speaker 1: and with everything that's going on around him, and still
Speaker 1: work the extra and get what you need out of
Speaker 1: that work. It's one thing to stay and watch film.
Speaker 1: It's another thing to get what you need out of
Speaker 1: the work and be productive in this um. He said.
Speaker 1: It's truly remarkable and it's a big reason why he's
Speaker 1: able to have the success that he has the superlatives
Speaker 1: in every area in terms of preparation what it takes
Speaker 1: to play quarterback in this league. Some guys come into
Speaker 1: this league jp their quarterbacks, but they don't understand what
Speaker 1: it takes to play the position well meaning film, study,
Speaker 1: preparator in the whole package. Again, I was around with
Speaker 1: Peyton for ten years, and he knew what he had
Speaker 1: to do every minute of the day to get to
Speaker 1: a preparation level of Sunday. I don't want to put
Speaker 1: Minshew in that category because that's Hall of Fame stuff,
Speaker 1: but he's got those traits. He's got that ability to
Speaker 1: prepare and when you hear people around the building talk
Speaker 1: about him, it's like they're talking about an eighth year guy.
Speaker 1: H at the quarter position. You've been doing this a
Speaker 1: while now at the quarterback position. Hearing that about a
Speaker 1: rookie and seeing the results of it, it's ultra rare.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen I haven't seen it here, yeah, you know, honestly,
Speaker 1: and first round quarterbacks and everything here. And the fact
Speaker 1: that you asked about his arm strength, he's shown in
Speaker 1: three games arm strength. Maybe he doesn't have the most
Speaker 1: powerful arm, but he made the thowd add the other day.
Speaker 1: When you can make that throw, that's the throw you
Speaker 1: gotta be able to make. He made it somehow, So
Speaker 1: he's got it. Uh, Physically, I'm not sure there's anything
Speaker 1: he can't do. And when you make that statement, the
Speaker 1: fact that he's so good in the luck, I don't
Speaker 1: have any thing to make me think that he's not
Speaker 1: going to be really really good for a long time.
Speaker 1: And boy, nobody was saying that they thought he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be on the roster. Well you know, yeah, it's it's uh,
Speaker 1: the way he played in preseason. So funny how it works, right,
Speaker 1: It's really funny. You know. I'm interested tomorrow, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure we didn't. I don't think he spoke today in
Speaker 1: the locker room. I had to leave a little bit.
Speaker 1: But Leonard, for that usually speaks on Thursdays, I think,
Speaker 1: And I'm curious to see his approach coming off of
Speaker 1: a monster game finally after having some struggles earlier in
Speaker 1: the season, not struggles, but being a little frustrated, I
Speaker 1: guess is the way he would say it. The first
Speaker 1: few weeks of the season, being on the field all
Speaker 1: the time, not really breaking through the breakout game. But
Speaker 1: he finally did that in the second half, especially last week.
Speaker 1: Can he carry that onto the season here? Can Can
Speaker 1: he maintain that? Maybe not to that level? I mean,
Speaker 1: I get the two yards is a big ask, second
Speaker 1: best day in franchise history, but can this offense? Can
Speaker 1: he continue that running game momentum that they had in
Speaker 1: the second half, because when that thing was rolling, there
Speaker 1: was really no way to stop it. For Denver, I
Speaker 1: don't know that they're gonna have that, I mean that
Speaker 1: that level production, but I think they're still gonna have
Speaker 1: some ups and downs with the running game because it
Speaker 1: felt it doesn't feel like the offensive line with all
Speaker 1: the penalties and all the all the up and downness
Speaker 1: the offensive line. So far, they were fantastic pass walking
Speaker 1: against Tennessee and bad running blocking. They reversed it against Denver.
Speaker 1: With that sort of inconsistency, until you see a consistent
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I think you have to assume that
Speaker 1: it will be inconsistent. What hasn't been inconsistent is what
Speaker 1: we've seen at number twenty seven in terms of approach,
Speaker 1: I preparation, how he's handled himself even when asked. There
Speaker 1: was a lot made of the frustration comment last week,
Speaker 1: and I got some people in the ozone asking me, well,
Speaker 1: he's frustrated, shouldn't he point the finger at himself? And
Speaker 1: I was around him when he made that comment. He
Speaker 1: was not pointing a finger in frustration. He was just saying, yes,
Speaker 1: it's frustrating not to be able to run because that's
Speaker 1: what I do. But his immediate comment afterwards, and the
Speaker 1: context of that was it's frustrating because he thought they
Speaker 1: were close. It's frustrating because there was the ability to
Speaker 1: do It's frustrating because the group hadn't had a chance
Speaker 1: because of injuries to play together during the preseason. So
Speaker 1: it was still coming together. There was frustration of not producing,
Speaker 1: not anger at somebody's not doing a job. So he's
Speaker 1: um I said it last week. For a guy who
Speaker 1: has been criticized for all that he has not been
Speaker 1: off the field and all of the missteps, it is
Speaker 1: ultra impressive to see how he is carrying himself. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that is falling over into preparation. Uh. And he's
Speaker 1: really been good in all four games, uh, including the
Speaker 1: Tennessee game. Doug made the point after the Tennessee game
Speaker 1: his arts were Cary has been up all year. He
Speaker 1: hasn't had opportunity at times to do what running makes
Speaker 1: need to do, which is to get enough carries to
Speaker 1: make that look big. But he's been very good all
Speaker 1: year and I don't see any reason beyond health why
Speaker 1: that's going to change. Well, I guess we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: kickers now. I can't wait for that. We have to.
Speaker 1: He's the a f C Special Teams Player of the
Speaker 1: Week Josh Lambeau. And you know, he's been perfect this year,
Speaker 1: to be quite honest, obviously with the numbers he was
Speaker 1: perfect to get on Sunday, the four for four on
Speaker 1: field goals, A couple of extra points and of course
Speaker 1: the game winner, which he's told me in the locker
Speaker 1: room today that he felt confident from sixty to sixty
Speaker 1: three in Denver. Now he could have got it there.
Speaker 1: How accurate have been He didn't know swirling wind, but
Speaker 1: that's the distance he felt comfortable with in Denver at elevation,
Speaker 1: with the wind swirling and everything. Fortunately there was not
Speaker 1: a penalty at the end of the game to make
Speaker 1: it closer to that, and they got further down the
Speaker 1: field and everything happened, and uh, he drilled a thirty
Speaker 1: three yard So he's rolling right now. Man. It's it's
Speaker 1: easy to overlook kickers because there's not a lot to
Speaker 1: say about him when I'm writing. There's not a lot
Speaker 1: to write about him. If they make it or they
Speaker 1: miss it, and it and it, it's not a very
Speaker 1: interesting topic. Lamb was an interesting kid, but not a
Speaker 1: very interesting topic, So it's easy to forget um. It's
Speaker 1: truly positioned where you only talk about him when they
Speaker 1: are struggling. Ah, his consistency since he got here has
Speaker 1: truly been remarkable, and I don't pay enough attention to it.
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of people miss it
Speaker 1: at times. Kind of when they were driving. Once they
Speaker 1: got to about the thirty, I I've got three or
Speaker 1: four stories that I work on during the game for
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com and I have to write him during
Speaker 1: the game because of the deadline and they've got to
Speaker 1: be up. Uh. I started writing them once they got
Speaker 1: to the thirty. I was writing win and all of
Speaker 1: the stories and changing everything with no worries that I'd
Speaker 1: be changing it after you never occurred to me that
Speaker 1: he missed, So thank him. I should thank him, because boy,
Speaker 1: the tenants after game would have been difficult if he'd
Speaker 1: shanked that. And I know that's what he was concerned about,
Speaker 1: which is interesting, you know. And I asked him today,
Speaker 1: are there you know in a in a day like
Speaker 1: that where the winds swirling and its elevation for kick
Speaker 1: than people I think thought going into it. And do
Speaker 1: you I asked him, do you change your approach on
Speaker 1: different distances or different places? Do you change your swing?
Speaker 1: Do you change I'm not a kicker. The technical terms
Speaker 1: I was awful with, but he cleaned it up a
Speaker 1: little bit and he said he did change the way
Speaker 1: he struck the ball a couple of times with the
Speaker 1: win to make the ball spin more and stay straight. Um,
Speaker 1: which is was interesting, and that some kickers have different
Speaker 1: approaches on a lot of different kicks. He doesn't. He
Speaker 1: keeps his swing and everything the same, no matter the kick,
Speaker 1: if it's fifty, if it's twenty, if it's an extra point,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. But he decided to change it up
Speaker 1: a little bit because of the winds. And I would
Speaker 1: assume some of that is having been a soccer goalie,
Speaker 1: he probably has been in that environment to experiment with
Speaker 1: it at times. Um, that's about all. I stay back.
Speaker 1: That's right, let's go. Let's come back. Then, on that note,
Speaker 1: we'll come back, we'll previe the Carolina Panthers, and we'll
Speaker 1: pick some players to watch with the Jaguars. A little
Speaker 1: bit later, Jimmy Luck in studio, the head equipment manager
Speaker 1: with the uniform unveiling what will the Jags wear in
Speaker 1: Carolina on Sunday? And then Chris Connelly Jaguars wide receiver
Speaker 1: with a guest from the locker room. That'll come up

Speaker 1: with him. Yes, they're gonna carry you like they're carrying Jacks.
Speaker 1: Fun you right if you're out staying off your lawn
Speaker 1: all at the same time. Uh, the Carolina Panthers are
Speaker 1: two and two, and it's a it's a weirdly similar
Speaker 1: feel in Carolina because of their quarterback situation with Cam
Speaker 1: Newton down with a foot issue or who knows how
Speaker 1: long he said he hit it or didn't sell a
Speaker 1: full extent of how bad it was. So Kyle Allen's
Speaker 1: come in and one two football games for them. Well
Speaker 1: that helps he as Christian McCaffrey on the offensive side
Speaker 1: to lead the league in rushing and yards from scrimmage.
Speaker 1: And it's just a pest more than anything all day
Speaker 1: long on that offensive side. Than their defense is very
Speaker 1: very good. Obviously, pass rush among the leaders, and sacks
Speaker 1: in the league. Um Mario Addison has five and a half,
Speaker 1: that's third most in the NFL. They've hit the quarterback
Speaker 1: more than any other defense in the league this year.
Speaker 1: So they get home on defense. They they're dangerous in
Speaker 1: spots on offense, and they're doing enough to get a
Speaker 1: couple of wins. They went down to Houston last week
Speaker 1: and stuck away with that sixteen to ten win against
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. So it's another road game. It's the
Speaker 1: team with some some talent on this group. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I if I'm picking this game, I picked the Panthers.
Speaker 1: I would be pleasantly surprised if the Jaguars won. Not
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars aren't a team playing well, but because
Speaker 1: the Panthers right now are doing things by the Jaggars.
Speaker 1: They're rushing the quarterback well, that was clearly an issue
Speaker 1: last week. They're playing at home, and they are a
Speaker 1: balanced team that plays smart. If the Jaguars commit penalty,
Speaker 1: the Panthers will take advantage of it. And Christian McCay
Speaker 1: free it is a tough out. He's on third down.
Speaker 1: If this team gets Panthers into difficult situations, he is
Speaker 1: a great bailout who can create things in space. Uh.
Speaker 1: That I didn't gon to be close, But if do
Speaker 1: you think what the Panthers are done. They went on
Speaker 1: the road twice beat a Houston team that's really good,
Speaker 1: very similar to the Jaguars. Uh. When Cam Newton was hurt,
Speaker 1: the obvious theme was, oh, well, the Jaguars are going
Speaker 1: to play a team with a backup quarterback and that
Speaker 1: means they ought to go beat Carolina. This is not
Speaker 1: an autogo beat game for the Jaguars. This is if
Speaker 1: if they go get it, it's a big win coming
Speaker 1: back home. I think it's tough. It's tough going up there.
Speaker 1: Um became If you get it though, you're three and
Speaker 1: two coming back, Um, and then you're set up for
Speaker 1: the Saints coming in. That's a tough game. Obviously, even
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees out, we're looking ahead a little bit here,
Speaker 1: but UM, it's a tough, tough road game against a
Speaker 1: very good football team, even still in Carolina. UM, look quickly,
Speaker 1: who's been in this for a long time now, and
Speaker 1: he's got to be right there among the best linebackers
Speaker 1: of football. He's right there at the top as the
Speaker 1: guy the jagg Wars came really close to drafting Uh
Speaker 1: back when he was drafting. It seems like for everybody
Speaker 1: think it was I think it was twelve. Uh. There
Speaker 1: were people in the building who really liked him, which
Speaker 1: is an easy call because he there was so much
Speaker 1: to like. Uh. It's interesting. He's been a guy who
Speaker 1: the last couple of years has almost been forgotten a
Speaker 1: little bit because he's had some injuries. Because there was
Speaker 1: talk for a while for the concussions of wondering how
Speaker 1: long he would play Uh, but yeah, Doug mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: in the week. Uh, you know, a Wall of Honor
Speaker 1: type guy, hall of Fame type guy. He's a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame level talent. He he's a position defining and
Speaker 1: his era kind of talent. And he's there's not that
Speaker 1: many guys in leaf in the middle linebacker spot anymore,
Speaker 1: who defined the defense, who takeover games, who are why
Speaker 1: their defense is really really good. H He's one of
Speaker 1: those guys more than him right now. Though they really
Speaker 1: rushed the pastor well they they rush it consistently. Uh.
Speaker 1: There there are a lot like the Jaguars on many
Speaker 1: many fronts. I mean, I think Keikley is what Miles
Speaker 1: Jack aspires to be, meaning that really really smart can
Speaker 1: make place in the middle of the field, guy can
Speaker 1: anticipate quickly. Is the gold standard at that position right
Speaker 1: now or has been for White for the five seven
Speaker 1: years or six seven years, five time first Team All Pro. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's special stuff. Let's look at the AFC South standings.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's a four way tie at two and
Speaker 1: two a top of the division. The Jaguars, though officially
Speaker 1: are in third because they have the division loss. Houston
Speaker 1: and Indy do not have one yet, but you know
Speaker 1: this week you're looking at the schedule. This week, John,
Speaker 1: the Falcons go into Houston to face the Texans. Right, Um,
Speaker 1: let's see desperate. They are very dangerous because if the
Speaker 1: Falcons lose, they're one and four almost out of it. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's a game the Falcons wing. The Bills are at
Speaker 1: the Titans this week. So the Bills are playing some
Speaker 1: good football. And who can figure out Tennessee at all
Speaker 1: the teams in the division, they're the type of to
Speaker 1: figure out the Jaguars. Uh, are playing well of one
Speaker 1: two in a row. Tennessee's gone places lost, they have
Speaker 1: won games they ought to loud. I mean, it's been
Speaker 1: very strange. I think the Colts, Uh, they're playing prime
Speaker 1: time there at the Chiefs. Yeah, uh yeah, you you
Speaker 1: assume right now that games against the Chiefs or else.
Speaker 1: So you would think that we'd come back to the
Speaker 1: pack a little bit on the Jaguars with that one.
Speaker 1: So uh, it's so early to be talking about the
Speaker 1: rest of the division terms of who they play week
Speaker 1: to week. Right now. The Jaguars have a schedule in
Speaker 1: front of them between now in London that you would
Speaker 1: think they should be no worse than five and four.
Speaker 1: To me, the Jaguars goal is make that six and
Speaker 1: three and come back from London with a division in
Speaker 1: your grass. They're not gonna talk about that as a goal,
Speaker 1: but that's an achievable thing right now. Uh, five and
Speaker 1: four would be what you ought to get. Six and
Speaker 1: three is what if you got it? Boy, would you
Speaker 1: feel good? And I probably would have predicted that when
Speaker 1: Foals got hurt. Of course everybody did, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: that was the easy one. If now here's the question
Speaker 1: that's gonna be asked once that happens. If that happens,
Speaker 1: if they're five and four or six and three coming
Speaker 1: into the bye week after the London game against Houston,
Speaker 1: does the quarterback stay? Well, there's a lot to that. Obviously.
Speaker 1: There's two answers. One is that, look, it's two and
Speaker 1: two right now, and there's still five games, so you go,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you got hit a lot the
Speaker 1: other day. Considering that they've both been banged up by
Speaker 1: this point, it could be good to have to going
Speaker 1: for all that stuff. Uh, but you asked the question.
Speaker 1: You ask it into vacuum. I sure wouldn't pull him
Speaker 1: right now, Foals came back, and if it's I think
Speaker 1: they might now because it's tough though, right, I mean
Speaker 1: it would be tough now if if it's five and four.
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's six and three, there's no way
Speaker 1: to me as you pull him. And I get that
Speaker 1: if if the decision makers were in here right now,
Speaker 1: they'd be saying, there's not even a factor. This is
Speaker 1: not what this is. But at some point you have
Speaker 1: to acknowledge what this guy has done the level that
Speaker 1: teammates believe in him. The tricky thing is, like I
Speaker 1: was talking to uh Joe person who covers the Panthers
Speaker 1: for the Athletic and he made the point with Cam Newton. Look,
Speaker 1: this has been Cam's team for a long time. There's
Speaker 1: belief in the locker rooms. There's commitment with the coaching
Speaker 1: staff of who this guy is, what he means to
Speaker 1: this franchise. Uh Foles is respected among the players, spect
Speaker 1: on the coaches. But there's also the bottom line that
Speaker 1: even which you paid him all that stuff, he's played
Speaker 1: eleven play, there's not really this in the blood commitment
Speaker 1: knowing that he is the franchise and what would look
Speaker 1: without him, and how could you do this to this,
Speaker 1: so I think it's it's about as wide open as
Speaker 1: it could be, which sounds absolutely insane considering what we're
Speaker 1: talking about in August twenty seven. But I think just realistically,
Speaker 1: they may go with folds and say, hey, it was
Speaker 1: never it was never consideration. We had to go full
Speaker 1: I I just don't think if Minshew continues to play this, well,
Speaker 1: you cannot ignore the magic. Yeah, the magic, the Minshew magic.
Speaker 1: That's right. I thought you're gonna pull out the mustache.
Speaker 1: Heay Ben Jimmy Lucks here he could head man a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks against. Yeah, we're gonna come back in
Speaker 1: a moment and Jimmy Luck will join us for the
Speaker 1: uniform unveiling. Didn't you imagine that's something else? Now it
Speaker 1: is something else? Um, so coming up Jimmy Luck. Well,

Speaker 1: you guys with the team landed at three am or something, right, Uh,
Speaker 1: yeah it was it was around three and then we
Speaker 1: come back and work for a couple of hours. I
Speaker 1: think we get back, so but it was good that
Speaker 1: when do you guys, I mean, I guess you never
Speaker 1: wrap up? When are you done with enough that you
Speaker 1: can get out of there? After a four o'clock get home? Um,
Speaker 1: I think everybody kind of went home around um, around
Speaker 1: five thirty or six. I stayed for a little bit
Speaker 1: and do some stuff and then took a little nap
Speaker 1: on the couch. But you know, that's what we gotta
Speaker 1: do is get it done. There's another game this week.
Speaker 1: Here comes one o'clock Sunday sympathy, No, apparently not. What's
Speaker 1: the hat today? We got crucial catch this month? October
Speaker 1: is a crucial catch month. So this is the hat
Speaker 1: us and the Panthers will be wearing. And a lot
Speaker 1: of teams around illegal We'll do it this week, starting
Speaker 1: this week all month. Very cool man, So our is
Speaker 1: our road game and then uh, I believe it's the
Speaker 1: Jets game is our home crucial catch game, same hat
Speaker 1: for each month. That's correct. Very cool. Alright, So Jags
Speaker 1: and the Panthers, and you know this would be a
Speaker 1: fun one to have throwbacks. You know, both teams came
Speaker 1: in the league together years. You know, I get to
Speaker 1: know about a year ago. No, I mean comes up
Speaker 1: with the idea Thursday before. Oh yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's just make him right. It's not that hard.
Speaker 1: But you know, that's a kid. I remember the old ones, right,
Speaker 1: the old original uniforms, and I do believe this is
Speaker 1: Carolina's um. They're like, I don't know what they call it? Good?
Speaker 1: Color rush No, not color rush um, throwback no, not
Speaker 1: throwback alternate. No, it's like, now, it's where where we when?
Speaker 1: You know, the first game we wore the white stuff,
Speaker 1: not the centennial but like, I don't know, everybody was celebrating,
Speaker 1: like your your classic game, ours is the Saints. Oh
Speaker 1: I see that your anniversary game or something like that?
Speaker 1: Got it? I don't. I didn't. I didn't referred to
Speaker 1: my big chart. Was this what every week is? Yet
Speaker 1: that's right, So that's cool. That should be this game,
Speaker 1: Carolina Jack even thought of that. It makes sense, makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. So Jimmy Luck, are you ready
Speaker 1: to unveil the uniform? We're ready to do it. Let's
Speaker 1: see what will the Jags wear this Sunday in Carolina?
Speaker 1: So we had we're gonna go with the black pants okay,
Speaker 1: and since we had some good luck with it, we're
Speaker 1: gonna run it back with the same uniform as last week.
Speaker 1: You see what I did there, White over black for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars in Carolina and hopefully Leonard four Nette keep
Speaker 1: it rolling. Yeah, getting the end zone this time, that'd
Speaker 1: be nice. But boy, THEO was nice last week to
Speaker 1: see that running game going and that was a huge,
Speaker 1: huge piece of that game. Man, it really was. Um
Speaker 1: So there you go, looking for that nice choice. Appreciate
Speaker 1: where to go, Jimmy, thanks a lot. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: you down the line here, all right. Appreciate thanks for
Speaker 1: he equipment manager, Jimmy luck with us each and every
Speaker 1: Wednesday to unveil the Jaguars uniforms white over black. Look

Speaker 1: There you go, John Well, Jaguar was Happy Hour presented
Speaker 1: by the Fields Autogroup. Chris Conny coming up. The receivers
Speaker 1: are in meetings. When those meetings are done, they will
Speaker 1: join us out with a special guest. We'll find out
Speaker 1: who arrives with Chris today. That though a little like
Speaker 1: shout out over the face with question mark. I like
Speaker 1: that idea. So that's kind of what we're doing today.
Speaker 1: I like it. Um. So we we're gonna hold off
Speaker 1: on when Chris gets here. Obviously, we'll talk all those guys.
Speaker 1: We're gonna pick our players to watch. We do this
Speaker 1: every week. It's a staple of sorts of this program.
Speaker 1: Now players to watch. You know, it used to be
Speaker 1: deep down the roster. But we're not there yet. We're
Speaker 1: not there at all yet. We're picking guys to watch
Speaker 1: in this game. And John, would you like to start
Speaker 1: us off? Sure, I'll go. Uh My first choice is
Speaker 1: right graphic an update at DJ Chart jr. Um for
Speaker 1: all the talk about Minshew, which is warranted. Uh. I
Speaker 1: think the most improved guy on this roster, biggest impact,
Speaker 1: biggest a surprise maybe the outsiders is DJ Chart. How
Speaker 1: close he was to having a touchdown catching every game
Speaker 1: so far this year, He's got three, should have had
Speaker 1: a fourth last week. Um, he is on his way
Speaker 1: to being a one, being a big time player. There's
Speaker 1: still some consistency, So I think he would tell you,
Speaker 1: would like to be more productive throughout each game. They
Speaker 1: can big plays. Would like to be a little more reliable,
Speaker 1: more of a go to guy in big third down
Speaker 1: situations consistently. But you know what, that's a nitpick and
Speaker 1: that's comment. I think if the Jay was gonna win
Speaker 1: this game, they're going to need some explosion offensively that
Speaker 1: maybe they didn't have last week. They relied on the
Speaker 1: running game last week. I think they're going to need
Speaker 1: Gardner to step away from the rush a few times,
Speaker 1: get some big plays downfield. Uh. DJ Charks the guy
Speaker 1: who can do that, and he's been a remarkable story
Speaker 1: this year. It's been overshadowed, I think because of Ramsey
Speaker 1: and mentioned he's been great. He's been great. He's always
Speaker 1: been right to to talk to about ball and he
Speaker 1: has a good focus on the game and understanding of
Speaker 1: everything going on. But it's finally showing up on the
Speaker 1: field this year. And when you have the quarterback that
Speaker 1: can put it on the right spot for him like
Speaker 1: that and he can go up and get it. It's
Speaker 1: a it's a beautiful thing to see, really is and
Speaker 1: starting to get some consistency production into the last couple
Speaker 1: of drafts too. You think about, you know, you've got
Speaker 1: chart producing. This year's draft class is producing in a
Speaker 1: big way. Uh, almost without people watching a little bit.
Speaker 1: You're starting to see the guys who are going to
Speaker 1: be the core of this team in a couple of years. Uh.
Speaker 1: And that's encouraging maybe Minshi maybe so. Uh. Defensively, yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got the quarterback of the defense Miles Jack and Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's a big game because
Speaker 1: Keith is in at a side that's you know, the trite,
Speaker 1: but uh, they are going to need him to play well.
Speaker 1: To be aware because of the press since of McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: if you I would think that Miles will be responsible
Speaker 1: for him and in coverage some Uh with McCaffrey, if
Speaker 1: if you lose sight of him, he is going to
Speaker 1: get twelve yards on the play and maybe more. He's
Speaker 1: a guy who can turn a short past third and
Speaker 1: seven into twelve yards very easily, consistently uh. He also
Speaker 1: is a guy that in space, as Doug mentioned today,
Speaker 1: very dangerous. Miles will need to not just have a
Speaker 1: good game, He'll need to make exceptional plays. I think
Speaker 1: for this team to win this game Sunday, I like it.
Speaker 1: D J. Chark Jr. And Miles jack York two choices
Speaker 1: today here mine Cam Robinson is my first choice on
Speaker 1: the offensive line. You know, this is a team that
Speaker 1: ran the football well last week. Of course, the quarterback
Speaker 1: got hit a bit, of course, but they rallied and
Speaker 1: won the game. And Cam still kind of coming back
Speaker 1: from the knee issues floral that he's had over the
Speaker 1: last year or so. You know, he's worked his way back.
Speaker 1: He played half the snaps in week three, played the
Speaker 1: full game in Denver. We all saw it happened at
Speaker 1: the end of the game, he got all frustrated with
Speaker 1: the other side and how that kind of spilled over
Speaker 1: the sideline a little bit. They need him to really
Speaker 1: play well again this week, and I think he has
Speaker 1: a big piece of what they do in the running
Speaker 1: game because he's a really good run blocker and can
Speaker 1: finish guys and do that kind of thing. When he's
Speaker 1: really on very good round blocker. I think he was
Speaker 1: big reason why they ran well last so keep that up.
Speaker 1: But then obviously when you're in passing situations this week,
Speaker 1: this is a group that can get to the quarterback,
Speaker 1: so imperative for him to have a huge game this week.
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson is my first one. Quincy Williams would be
Speaker 1: my second. We're picking linebackers that you picked Myles Jack.
Speaker 1: I picked Quincy for pretty much the same reason. Who's
Speaker 1: gonna cover McCaffrey and where and which side of the
Speaker 1: where is he out on the field? Who can keep
Speaker 1: up with the guy? I asked Quincy in the locker
Speaker 1: room today, who's really playing pretty well this year? Right
Speaker 1: for a rookie, not even for a rookie is playing well? Um,
Speaker 1: how do you approach a different style running back? Like
Speaker 1: if Derrick Henry is coming to see you, you approach
Speaker 1: tackling a little different. He's a downhill straight for runner.
Speaker 1: You just go hit the guy, don't let him get loose. Well,
Speaker 1: with McCaffrey, he could line up anywhere. He could line
Speaker 1: up at right wide receiver. He can, he's shifty, he
Speaker 1: can move, and then once he breaks through, he's super quick.
Speaker 1: So I gotta have a multiple guys get to him,
Speaker 1: and you can't just go for the home run hit
Speaker 1: because he'll shake buy in and get past you for
Speaker 1: a huge game. So that was an interesting thought from
Speaker 1: Quincy today. McCaffrey is a dangerous guy for Quincy because
Speaker 1: he's a pursuit guy, likes to run and hit and
Speaker 1: he will need to be aware, which for a guy
Speaker 1: playing in his fifth game, that would be his challenge
Speaker 1: and he'll do well with it, but that would be
Speaker 1: his challenge. And the last week he compared a little
Speaker 1: bit to Lindsay last week, the similar style, not quite this.
Speaker 1: I mean Lindsay's they're they're closer, They're not Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. So the routes, covering routes
Speaker 1: out of the backfield and stuff. That was a little
Speaker 1: bit of a hiccup for Quincy last week, he said,
Speaker 1: and he expects something similar this week with Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: I get the idea it won't be nearly as much
Speaker 1: one guy trying to stop Chris McCaffrey. It'll be it
Speaker 1: takes a village type thing this week, because he's so
Speaker 1: good at making people miss that. Players on other assignments
Speaker 1: will have to be at least partially aware of of
Speaker 1: McCaffrey this weekend. Alright, our weekly co host is walking
Speaker 1: into the studio as we speak. Jaguar's wide receiver Chris
Speaker 1: Connelly joins us each and every week on this program,
Speaker 1: and he's got a very special guest with him today.
Speaker 1: He's very special guest, Cam Robinson joins us. Chris, good
Speaker 1: to see you. First off, welcome to your show. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. It's good to be back, and it's great
Speaker 1: to be joined by the ever so talented Cam Robinson.
Speaker 1: It's a large human being. Man. I don't think we've
Speaker 1: had any already that big in this seat this year.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, you're right, I mean this year though, yeah,
Speaker 1: welcome in guys. I appreciate Yeah. No, it's good to
Speaker 1: be here, good to be back, Good to be here
Speaker 1: after kind of a close win, but when nonetheless makes
Speaker 1: it a little bit better, uh, you know, coming in
Speaker 1: here and talking to everybody, those are fun though, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're two deficits in the second half on
Speaker 1: the road. That's tough to do in this league, it is,
Speaker 1: and it's also tough to hold the ball for almost
Speaker 1: eleven minutes really and so really really impressive work by
Speaker 1: the offense and the offensive line. Uh why we have
Speaker 1: Cam in here today to get a little insights from
Speaker 1: him into offensive line play from that game. But they
Speaker 1: were lights out in that second half. It had been
Speaker 1: a while camp since you guys got the running game
Speaker 1: going like that. You've been wanting to do that for
Speaker 1: a long time. Uh what was the key? Oh? I
Speaker 1: think it was just that we just kept chipping early on.
Speaker 1: We came out and we weren't we wanted as christ
Speaker 1: as you wanted to be. We had some penoties we
Speaker 1: had um I think it was just I think we
Speaker 1: had a couple of muies to that was kind of
Speaker 1: keep us from um clicking on all senators, especially in
Speaker 1: the ring game. So we went in the O time
Speaker 1: and we kind of just made some adjustments. Do we
Speaker 1: really want to lock in on what we were trying
Speaker 1: to do so we're able to be a little more successful,
Speaker 1: a lot more successful in the second It's a big
Speaker 1: focus all week. I mean, I know I asked you
Speaker 1: about it the week leading up to it and asking
Speaker 1: Leonard about it. When's the run game leg go on?
Speaker 1: How do you guys do it? It's almost like you
Speaker 1: guys have heard enough about that, right, I mean that
Speaker 1: this is what you guys do well as run the football.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah that too. I mean, and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of it is that we finally have um
Speaker 1: one unit kind of working together. I mean, just throughout
Speaker 1: the preseason and early on in the season we had
Speaker 1: we you know, we were dealing with injuries. We kind
Speaker 1: of had guys rotating them. But I think was huge
Speaker 1: for an offensive line is when you can kind of
Speaker 1: all play together, you can kind of start to form
Speaker 1: that that camaraderie and you know, you want to ultimately
Speaker 1: be moving as one. Nice that was a great time
Speaker 1: for them to be moving as one because we really
Speaker 1: we had a little bit struggles going on in the
Speaker 1: past game and obviously needed the run game to pick
Speaker 1: us up as an offense. And not only did they
Speaker 1: pick us up, but they care us. They really carried
Speaker 1: us into that that fourth quarter and then we were
Speaker 1: able to get some past plays on that last drive
Speaker 1: when we needed it. But really the run game is
Speaker 1: what set that up. And how tricky is that? Man?
Speaker 1: Maybe for both of you guys, you know, this was
Speaker 1: a new scheme anyway, coming in you had flip coming in.
Speaker 1: It was designed around folds a lot, and now all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're still trying to get continuity on
Speaker 1: the line and doing it with a new quarterback, with
Speaker 1: a new coordinator. To get any production in this environment
Speaker 1: is good. But I guess where are you in terms
Speaker 1: of the development the offense and how difficult has it
Speaker 1: been with the circumstances. I think this offense isn't a
Speaker 1: place where we've gained some confidence moving the ball and
Speaker 1: and finding some success and scoring. But there's so much
Speaker 1: more that this offense is capable of. I think if
Speaker 1: you ask anyone who's in that meeting room, watching the
Speaker 1: film of the performance that we put on tape this
Speaker 1: past Sunday and thinking about us moving forward, I don't
Speaker 1: think anyone single guy will say that this offense has
Speaker 1: made it, or that it has even tipped any of
Speaker 1: its potential. I think that there are a lot of
Speaker 1: points that we've left out there, a lot of points
Speaker 1: that we can put on the board. I think our
Speaker 1: time of possession can be even better, uh than it's been.
Speaker 1: I think it can be. I think it can be
Speaker 1: even better if we if we get if we get
Speaker 1: some key first downs and we left a lot of
Speaker 1: third downs on the field. You know, we're still not
Speaker 1: doing great on converting third downs. If we get better
Speaker 1: in that aspect, our time of possession goes up even more,
Speaker 1: and some of the points that we opportunities that we
Speaker 1: get for points, it's it's even greater. So you know,
Speaker 1: that's just some of the stuff that you got to
Speaker 1: think about. This offense can be better than it has been.
Speaker 1: Cam's like, give me some oxygen or something over. I
Speaker 1: definitely need some play drive over thee. So that's a
Speaker 1: tough one. But that once you guys are rolling like
Speaker 1: that though, If you're on the field and you you've
Speaker 1: got the momentum and you're you're dominating the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: that's that's the one you want to stay out there.
Speaker 1: While you're on the field, you don't notice it as
Speaker 1: much because you, I mean, you're moving the ball and
Speaker 1: you want to keep you want to keep um doing
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Want you get to the sideline and
Speaker 1: you sit down and it's kind of like how many
Speaker 1: players was that? But now it's always fun when you
Speaker 1: out there and you get going, you're kind of getting
Speaker 1: that groove and um, you like you said, you want
Speaker 1: to stay on the field just so we can kind
Speaker 1: of keep that momentum going. Car You've been through so much,
Speaker 1: the a c L last year, the injury coming in. Uh.
Speaker 1: I know fans want to know where are you at
Speaker 1: and your comeback or is it still a comeback? But
Speaker 1: where are you and how are you playing? UM? Well?
Speaker 1: Last week me personally, I feel like I played like crowd.
Speaker 1: But I mean it's always wronging to grow. UM just
Speaker 1: getting that last week it is my first full game back. UM,
Speaker 1: so we we just we just me personally, I'm still
Speaker 1: just trying to um building, you know, continue to polish things.
Speaker 1: And I'm still kno gonna rushed off. But UM us
Speaker 1: as a unit, I think we just one thing we
Speaker 1: want to do is um play clean football. And that's
Speaker 1: when I say that, I mean pertaining to the penalties
Speaker 1: we we we we heard ourselves with a lot of
Speaker 1: penaly the and UM I think if we clean that up,
Speaker 1: UM that this got, this got could be the limit
Speaker 1: fool we can do. Offense. I mean sometimes penalties happened, thought,
Speaker 1: I mean there's football, you know, it's just a matter
Speaker 1: of the ones that you can control. Right. The false
Speaker 1: starts and things like that, right, and I think, um,
Speaker 1: I mean, you definitely just want to when you want
Speaker 1: to feel we always kind of stay control what you
Speaker 1: can control, and that's what you wanna do. You want
Speaker 1: to be locked in on the small thing. You say,
Speaker 1: you're not um wasting plays and you know what saying
Speaker 1: false starts, Uh, I gotta I gotta touchdown called back
Speaker 1: with like a hands I'm sorry, guys, I know I'm not.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. Um, but yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we just I think ultimately when it comes to things
Speaker 1: we need to do better. I think it's just playing
Speaker 1: more clean, just playing clean football so we can knock
Speaker 1: those penalties out and we can just get up and
Speaker 1: down the shield. When they wrote the rule on hands
Speaker 1: to the face, that was what they had in mind.
Speaker 1: I think that wouldn't that happen with yours on the
Speaker 1: touchdown that was as clean of a hands to the
Speaker 1: face is actually yeah, that was that was takes book.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't want to take away the aggressiveness.
Speaker 1: We don't want to take the way they aggressive. It
Speaker 1: just it just happened, you know, the dominant O line play.
Speaker 1: We want to keep that. You guys share the same
Speaker 1: walker area. If people don't know they're in the same
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've got in the no cam a little bit.
Speaker 1: What's your best question? What do you want to ask him? On? Um?
Speaker 1: What do I want to ask cam? Uh? Is it's
Speaker 1: where the trophies? Man? Where where the trophies? You know,
Speaker 1: you know, outline trophy, Jacob's blocking trophy, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: like a national championship ran from college. Just all these
Speaker 1: all these accolades that this guy has and such an
Speaker 1: empty locker. Why is that you can put in there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean why why is this locker so so empty?
Speaker 1: I want to see some of that? Where's the bling? Man? Um,
Speaker 1: you're probably going to fight with My mom's about most
Speaker 1: of it because she mean out there we win stuff
Speaker 1: like that. I just give it to my mom. She
Speaker 1: kind of keeps it fun. Um. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a fight you're willing to, you're willing to get
Speaker 1: into the career. I take it back. I take it back.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm okay, we're gonna be but but no,
Speaker 1: it's it's my mom. I mean, well, I mean we
Speaker 1: got a lot of accomplishments for stuff we didn't in college,
Speaker 1: and um, my mom, Mom, just my mom keeps it especially.
Speaker 1: The only other thing that people don't know is because
Speaker 1: Cam has a corner locker on a very prominent corner
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Uh. The worst spot for Cam
Speaker 1: Robinson because he's about the biggest guy on this team
Speaker 1: and when he sits in his chair, his legs swing
Speaker 1: all the way out into the walkway where everyone has
Speaker 1: to come into the locker room and you either have
Speaker 1: to walk and step over him or risk bumping into
Speaker 1: him and not having a great day. Exactly. H very
Speaker 1: nice human being, but you don't want to bump into
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson. Don't do that. I'm a nice guy, man.
Speaker 1: I think you're giving off the vibes. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a nice guy. We turn about is fair play?
Speaker 1: What's your question? Oh? Yeah, oh man, this is this
Speaker 1: is my show, show Two Way Street. Yeah. I should
Speaker 1: have warned me. Man, Oh, don't do that questions for Chris, Okay,
Speaker 1: keep it clean. I'm trying to all right, since you
Speaker 1: got injects. WHOA, what's the what's your favorite place to eat?
Speaker 1: My favorite place to eat? Um, that's yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: very alignman question of you. I think the place that
Speaker 1: I've eaten the most since I've been here in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time at the beach, uh
Speaker 1: and when I leave the beach, I feel exactly. I
Speaker 1: feel very exhausted and feel like I've done a lot physically,
Speaker 1: so I can eat whatever I want. So I spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time in mellow mushroom on the beach
Speaker 1: because I just feel like you can't go wrong. And
Speaker 1: there's something in that ranch. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: It might be a drug, it might not, but I'm
Speaker 1: hooked now. I know. You get deity into surfing, right,
Speaker 1: and you chance to getting a big I think we could,
Speaker 1: but that that would be a really big board, a
Speaker 1: really really really big board, and they make boards that big,
Speaker 1: but don't for me. I'm just I'm just gonna it's
Speaker 1: just gonna be a really big board and a really
Speaker 1: big person on top of a really big You don't
Speaker 1: like the beach, you don't like the ocean, the surfing,
Speaker 1: the sharks, what is it? Charts? I wouldn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to say it his own dang man, I guess
Speaker 1: I'll just for the bottom of whatever. Whatever you go
Speaker 1: in the water, you are the visiting team. Remember that
Speaker 1: every time. Remember that. Yeah, but when we go into
Speaker 1: someone else's house, we always take over this. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess one more question, I mean a couple more questions here,
Speaker 1: You guys, appreciate you coming on. What What can Gardner
Speaker 1: means you not do right now? I mean, he's got
Speaker 1: to have the confidence of his offense wholeheartedly. Now, He's
Speaker 1: done pretty much everything right. So, as far as I know,
Speaker 1: Gardner can't see through walls yet. I checked yesterday and
Speaker 1: he couldn't. But I will check again tomorrow and I'll
Speaker 1: let you guys know. But in all reality, there's this
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence around that guy. Uh, in this
Speaker 1: locker room and on this team, and everyone believes. And
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that as confidence is
Speaker 1: when you can go down the field in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter and have a game winning drive. Not only does
Speaker 1: it build confidence in your offense, yes, it builds confidence
Speaker 1: in your huddle, but it builds confidence in a defense
Speaker 1: to know that, regardless of what the score is in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, if we get a couple of stops,
Speaker 1: we're in this game and we can still win. That's huge.
Speaker 1: He was going to Bama to coach, Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was was we talked one day and he actually told
Speaker 1: me that and I had no idea, called me completely upguard.
Speaker 1: I was like, wait what and then um, we talked
Speaker 1: about yeah, Um, I didn't. I had no idea You're
Speaker 1: going to like four different four different colleges or something
Speaker 1: like that. So it was it was crazy like his
Speaker 1: journey just to get to this point. Have you ever
Speaker 1: seen anything like this in the league here alone? But
Speaker 1: that not that much of a no, most I mean,
Speaker 1: I haven't, I haven't. Um, he came. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think what I like most about him is when he
Speaker 1: came in, he didn't blink. Um. He came in and
Speaker 1: he didn't he didn't flinch. Um. He had all the
Speaker 1: confidence in the world and this in himself. UM. And
Speaker 1: I think that that kind of showed. And know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. In the first game, he was able to
Speaker 1: come in and um, play pretty well and he didn't blink,
Speaker 1: he didn't flinch, and he he hit it. Pulls me
Speaker 1: to hit Alright, final thought, here guys coming up Carolina
Speaker 1: Sunday at one o'clock, Bank of American Stadium went uptown Charlotte.
Speaker 1: It's a good football team in Carolina. Guys, but it's
Speaker 1: a good football team coming up in Jacksonville too. What's
Speaker 1: your feelings about this matchup in the In the chances
Speaker 1: here this week is all about ignoring the outside noise.
Speaker 1: You have a team that has a dominant win on
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football. You have a team that's coming here
Speaker 1: and had a fourth quarter drive to win a game.
Speaker 1: The amount of noise and praise and smoke that's being
Speaker 1: blown at this team right now out is huge, you know.
Speaker 1: And oh and to start you win two games in
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season. You made it to
Speaker 1: five hundred. You guys are trending in the right direction.
Speaker 1: You have to ignore the noise. This This week is
Speaker 1: about ignoring the noise. It's about coming in, watching the tape,
Speaker 1: preparing in such a way that says, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: this team is going to give us their best shot.
Speaker 1: But we have to go out there and give our
Speaker 1: best shot because we're fighting for we're fighting for a
Speaker 1: postseason here, we're fighting for just being consistent. Good teams
Speaker 1: are consistent, and so really just ignoring the noise. Um offensively, defensively,
Speaker 1: special teams. Everyone's gonna patch you on the back, but
Speaker 1: there's a lot of work that still needs to be
Speaker 1: done to get to where we want to go. I
Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, I mean I think just kind of
Speaker 1: picking and I think, um, you know, Chris, did it
Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head. I just piggyback en
Speaker 1: off what he said. I think it's just kind of
Speaker 1: you know, staying locked in on what we need to
Speaker 1: stay locked in on. UM's gonna be a lot of talk,
Speaker 1: like Chris said, starting up and two, um coming back
Speaker 1: again into you know, to two big wins for us,
Speaker 1: and uh, everybody's on the outside kind like pen you
Speaker 1: on the bag telling you, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: how good you were coming in, how much we're turning
Speaker 1: in the right duration. I think, Um, once you start
Speaker 1: to listen to that, that's kind of when complacency not
Speaker 1: really complacency, but I mean that's that's that's what it is.
Speaker 1: It kind of starts to sit in. So I think
Speaker 1: it's kind of a mom in our mind, like we
Speaker 1: haven't done anything yet. We just want to keep keep
Speaker 1: chopping wood and keep building on what we have done.
Speaker 1: A good pass rushing team, right, no, no, most A
Speaker 1: good defense in general, yes, a good defense. You know
Speaker 1: that this is gonna be, in my opinion, the best
Speaker 1: defense we faced thus far. Tough challenge coming up this Sunday,
Speaker 1: one o'clock. Guys, good to see you, Good luck to you. Can.
Speaker 1: I'm going to see you coming in. It's good to
