Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours brought you by the Fields Group and
Speaker 1: now a guy who would jump at the chance to
Speaker 1: be running with the devil down in Panama. J Peace Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Welcome in yes what a day yesterday, Eddie Van Halen Gone.
Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto
Speaker 1: Group on this Wednesday of Texans Week. J. P. Shadrick.
Speaker 1: We'll get to Bucky Brooks and John Osier coming up.
Speaker 1: Let's get to what's coming up on the show today.
Speaker 1: The Jags and the Texans preview in week by that
Speaker 1: NURG Stadium in Houston. They have fired their head coach
Speaker 1: in Houston. Bill O'Brien is gone. Romeo Cornell is the
Speaker 1: interim head coach. We'll get to what's going on there.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars, though, as the quarterbacks so eloquently said today,
Speaker 1: have their own stuff to figure out. He didn't say
Speaker 1: stuff though, uniform unveiling. We'll get to Jimmy Luck, head
Speaker 1: equipment manager for the Jags. A scout's view from Bucky
Speaker 1: Brooks on the Jags wide receiver corps so far. And
Speaker 1: we'll play big game. Jaguar will pick our Jaguars to
Speaker 1: have a big game. In Houston this Sunday. Bucky Brooks,
Speaker 1: John Ojan with us. Now, Bucky, what's going on out
Speaker 1: in l A Man. Everything is good. Looking forward to
Speaker 1: a very positive week from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hope we
Speaker 1: can go one to notice week. Yeah, week to week,
Speaker 1: John week to week and JP. If that happens, you
Speaker 1: will dance, dance, dance the night away. Oh. I like
Speaker 1: that reference there, Yeah, I like that reference there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, pretty good. Nothing gets by Johnny. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's get to the injury report today. We'll start with that.
Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest storylines this week for the Jags.
Speaker 1: By the way, a bunch of guys didn't practice today.
Speaker 1: C J. Henderson was not out there with a shoulder issue,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was not out there with what is listed
Speaker 1: as a knee issue. Miles jack with his ankle. He
Speaker 1: came out of the game last week. Tyler Shatley not
Speaker 1: injury related. Cam Robinson with a knee did not practice today,
Speaker 1: Will Richardson Jr. With an illness, and Tyler Effort with
Speaker 1: a scheduled day off. But Josh Allen is on that list.
Speaker 1: That one kind of surprised me. A little bit. John,
Speaker 1: I must say, Yeah, he didn't shock me. He left
Speaker 1: and came back on Sunday, and you know, he's your
Speaker 1: prize possession, so to speak. You know, you don't want
Speaker 1: that jewel to break. So my sense is that was
Speaker 1: a little more precautionary. He wasn't a guy that Doug
Speaker 1: had talked about Monday. Um, I think you're gonna be
Speaker 1: real careful with Josh Allen. I think in if he's
Speaker 1: like during camp early in the season he had one
Speaker 1: where they sort of held him out a little bit.
Speaker 1: Be very careful with Josh. He's pretty good, Bucky, he
Speaker 1: is pretty good. You want to make sure that we're
Speaker 1: able to get him available on game day. He is
Speaker 1: the one pass rusher that the Jacks have upfront, so
Speaker 1: it's very important that you take care of him and
Speaker 1: get him right so we can be at his best
Speaker 1: on Sunday. All right, So that's the biggest storyline. How
Speaker 1: healthy will this team be going into Sunday's game? And
Speaker 1: Maroon said earlier a week that everybody has a chance
Speaker 1: to play this week, even the guys that that probably
Speaker 1: didn't practice today said earlier today, except d J. Hayden,
Speaker 1: who is now of course on injured reserve. We'll see
Speaker 1: how the week goes in practice and see who's up
Speaker 1: and ready. The Jacks, though, guys are facing a team
Speaker 1: that has started oh and four down in Houston, and
Speaker 1: they have fired their head coach, Bill O'Brien gone after
Speaker 1: that oh and four starts, Bucky, is there anything to
Speaker 1: a team circling the wagons, if you will, after a
Speaker 1: moment like that and and playing a little bit better?
Speaker 1: Is that over sold? You know? I think there's something
Speaker 1: to it. I think you can expect the Texan to
Speaker 1: have a little burst or shot of energy with Bill
Speaker 1: O'Ryan being let go. Some of that will be due
Speaker 1: to is a brace of style. Um, guys will kind
Speaker 1: of welcome a different voice in the front of the
Speaker 1: room in Romeo Prenell. Romeo Crenell will try and get
Speaker 1: them to kind of pull together and say, look, this
Speaker 1: this is where we are. We're owing for, but this
Speaker 1: division is still attainable. And so I already expect the
Speaker 1: Texans to really be up for a very game fight.
Speaker 1: And so this is one where the Jaguars have to
Speaker 1: be careful. They can't take them lightly because their coach
Speaker 1: was recently dismissed John. This is one where they haven't
Speaker 1: played a division game yet in Houston, so as Bucky said,
Speaker 1: this is all out in front of them. Still now
Speaker 1: they've played a bet every good team outside the division
Speaker 1: of themes like in front of him. I'm sure that
Speaker 1: will be the message that Doc Carnell gives to them.
Speaker 1: And I agree with Bucky. You know, I always go
Speaker 1: back JP. We saw it here. The Jaguars were in
Speaker 1: the midst of a miserable losing streak when they filed
Speaker 1: when they fired Gus Bradley in two thousand sixt Doug
Speaker 1: Marone came in and from watching that team before, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have thought this team is gonna win any games.
Speaker 1: They came out and rolled Tennessee when Tennessee had a
Speaker 1: lot to play for that day, if you remember, that
Speaker 1: was the day where the Titans had playoffs scenario on
Speaker 1: the line out of playoffs, never beat playoff scenario team
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and the Jaguars beat them bad. I
Speaker 1: do think there's an adrenaline and there's a refocus. Guys
Speaker 1: are a little bit more on edge because they know
Speaker 1: that it's a new set of eyes on them. So yes,
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. That is the biggest factor in favor
Speaker 1: of the Texans, who aren't playing as well as I
Speaker 1: thought they would Normally, I would say this is the
Speaker 1: game the Jaguars can win. They've got to watch that
Speaker 1: adrenaline issue. So um, as Gardner Minshew said today, we've
Speaker 1: got enough turmoil of our own. We've got to figure
Speaker 1: our stuff out first, um, and let's get to the
Speaker 1: Jaguars stuff. And there's plenty of it, of course, starting
Speaker 1: with last week's game in Cincinnati. Let's start with the offense,
Speaker 1: though uh you know, Gardnerment Show's spreading it around a
Speaker 1: little bit still. DJ Chark was back in the lineup
Speaker 1: last week in in Week four and had a good
Speaker 1: game in Cincinnati statistically with a couple of touchdowns, including
Speaker 1: that nice toe drag in the back line and he
Speaker 1: stole another one away from a guy Leabisco Chanlt is
Speaker 1: still a factor, though he left the game with a
Speaker 1: hamstring issue and he's on the report this week. Keel
Speaker 1: and Cole with a handful of catches. James Robinson doing
Speaker 1: his thing again and as we say, lucky most weeks
Speaker 1: in the offense has moments where it's doing things pretty well,
Speaker 1: and that's a positive. That is a positive. There's certainly
Speaker 1: some things to build on. With the offense. James Robinson
Speaker 1: has really been a legitimate number one playmaker for them
Speaker 1: and running back, and you just don't expect to see
Speaker 1: an undrafted player come in and have that kind of success.
Speaker 1: So that is a feather in the cap in terms
Speaker 1: of being a to find someone off the grid and
Speaker 1: have success. The wide receivers have done a really good
Speaker 1: job of making the plays. We saw Laviska Chanault have
Speaker 1: a bigger role and make some plays. Dj Chart continues
Speaker 1: to be the number one and Keilan Cole makes plays
Speaker 1: on third down. And so when you think about their
Speaker 1: main weapons, their weapons are there. The one thing, even
Speaker 1: though Gardner miss you had three and fifty yards uh
Speaker 1: in that game, some of that still feels like a
Speaker 1: little padded almost empty calories at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: I need. I would like to see him be a
Speaker 1: little more productive when they really needed that third quarter
Speaker 1: stretch when the Beagles went on a seventeen old run.
Speaker 1: We needed to see Garner mints you make some plays
Speaker 1: to kind of get the Jaguars out of that rut.
Speaker 1: He has to kind of take that next step to
Speaker 1: be the franchise quarterback to some are hoping that he
Speaker 1: can be. John would you make in the group last
Speaker 1: week in Cincinnati the receivers anchor five? I mean the
Speaker 1: receivers are what they are. I think we know what
Speaker 1: they are. Isn't above XS and OHS guy? And I
Speaker 1: think he's he's turning into, if not already turned into
Speaker 1: an elite number one receiver. I wondered I thought he
Speaker 1: still had a step to take after last season. I
Speaker 1: think he's taking that step when he's in there scoring
Speaker 1: twenty five or more points when he was out there
Speaker 1: had thirteen. Beyond that, I think Channault still has NFL
Speaker 1: stuff to learn, NFL route running stuff to learn, but
Speaker 1: he's clear is going to be fine. Uh you know
Speaker 1: those are really there too. And I think beyond that,
Speaker 1: it's going to be trying to figure out if Keeling
Speaker 1: Cole's that guy. But they've been fine this year. I
Speaker 1: agree with Bucky. The third quarter of the Bengals game,
Speaker 1: to me is the concern about Minshew. When they really
Speaker 1: needed it, it wasn't there. And I'm just curious, if
Speaker 1: we have time for Bucky what went wrong there? Was
Speaker 1: that a major concern or is that a blip? You know?
Speaker 1: It's funny, John, Like, it's one of those things where
Speaker 1: big time players make plays in those moments. And I
Speaker 1: feel like those elite franchise quarterbacks they seize an opportunity
Speaker 1: when is there. They can feel the momentum of the
Speaker 1: game kind of shifting and they're able to insert themselves
Speaker 1: and make a play. And for whatever reason, Garner hasn't
Speaker 1: been able to do that. He hasn't been able to
Speaker 1: make those plays in the past two weeks in particular,
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to make those plays when you're
Speaker 1: counting on him to make a play, And so you
Speaker 1: just wanted does he have that in his bag or
Speaker 1: is he a guy that's destined to be a guy
Speaker 1: that can look he can be a solid manager, and
Speaker 1: you can have all the talent around him, but you're
Speaker 1: not able to necessarily put the game on his shoulders.
Speaker 1: And so there's certainly a stilling when you have that
Speaker 1: kind of quarterback. Alright, we've got a lot of season
Speaker 1: left to to see if he can improve in that area.
Speaker 1: Went on this week, they're playing a Texans defense that
Speaker 1: still has J. J. Watt on the roster. In case
Speaker 1: you forgot, three time Defensive Player of the Year has
Speaker 1: been a little bit since he's been at that type
Speaker 1: of level, Um, Bucky, is J. J. Watt still j
Speaker 1: A J. Watt that we all know and remember. No,
Speaker 1: he's not playing like the three time Defensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Year, but he's that that kg Vett who can
Speaker 1: still flash in moments. He can't take over the entire game,
Speaker 1: but he can take it over in segments. He can
Speaker 1: have splash plays on back and back plays in the drive,
Speaker 1: he can dominate accord and maybe in that brief lips
Speaker 1: of dominance he can create a strip sack, phone bloor,
Speaker 1: pressure quarterback and create an interception. So he is still dangerous.
Speaker 1: He's not as dangerous as he once was, but he's
Speaker 1: still someone that you have to keep an eye on. Yeah, John,
Speaker 1: if you underestimate him, all of a sudden, you'll be
Speaker 1: looking at him standing in the end zone with the football.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the way he plays. Yeah, it's almost
Speaker 1: not fair after what he's he's in his tenth year,
Speaker 1: I think if I remember that, or it's almost not
Speaker 1: fair to ask is he J. J. Watt? Because for
Speaker 1: three or four years he was almost a defense by himself.
Speaker 1: He was as good as any strong defensive and what
Speaker 1: do you call his position, He was as good as
Speaker 1: there was. He it's not really a quote sack position.
Speaker 1: And yet he was getting six years eventeen sex he
Speaker 1: was super human. He's not that. But as you said,
Speaker 1: if you ignore him, can he make plays that normal
Speaker 1: defensive ends make? Absolutely other pieces of this defense guys,
Speaker 1: Zack Cunningham has a big contract now at linebacker, and
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby came over last year in fact from Denver,
Speaker 1: and he's playing pretty well at the cornerback position. Uh,
Speaker 1: They've they've really put a lot of stock into Cunningham
Speaker 1: down there, Bucky, and they're gonna ride with him for
Speaker 1: a little while. Yeah, they are going right with him
Speaker 1: for a little role. He's a physical player, guy that
Speaker 1: really exhales in the box. And when you saw him
Speaker 1: coming out of Vanderbilt, he was someone that could gobble
Speaker 1: up ball care he's in the hole. He's continued to
Speaker 1: be that um for the Texas. He's outstanding from his
Speaker 1: instinct standpoint. Love the physicality that he brings to the table,
Speaker 1: and so he's someone that should certainly have to be
Speaker 1: a where and if I'm James Robinson. I have to
Speaker 1: know where he is because if the Jaguars are going
Speaker 1: to run the ball consistently, he is going to have
Speaker 1: to find a way to run through Zack Cunningham a
Speaker 1: time or two to really set the tone John this
Speaker 1: it's always kind of feels like a game that's you know,
Speaker 1: twenty two, ten, four, two, you know, thirteen kind of thing.
Speaker 1: It never really feels like it's up and down the field.
Speaker 1: It's always kind of a running and defense kind of day.
Speaker 1: Is at least that's been the field over the last
Speaker 1: few years to me. Yeah. Unfortunately, the last time the
Speaker 1: team's played it was it was the Texans running up
Speaker 1: and down the field in London, and it's the Texans
Speaker 1: have too long a streak in this series. It it's
Speaker 1: four games since the glory year of two thousand and
Speaker 1: seventeen when the Jaguars drummed him and the Texans head
Speaker 1: quarterback problems. They need to turn that. It's really more
Speaker 1: of a heck jp against team then the team everybody
Speaker 1: loves to hate, which is the Titans. They actually they
Speaker 1: beat the Titans last year if you remember on a
Speaker 1: Thursday night. They haven't gotten over the hump in a
Speaker 1: long time against Texans. I thought the Texans were gonna
Speaker 1: be a team to beat this year. I was wrong.
Speaker 1: They need to turn that around and this is the
Speaker 1: year they should beyond the adrenaline thing. The Texans have
Speaker 1: not been particularly strong. They've been bad against the run
Speaker 1: for about eleven or twelve games. Now. The Jaguars defense
Speaker 1: must keep this thing close enough to where James Robinson.
Speaker 1: I feel like a broken record, Bucky, but they've got
Speaker 1: to keep this thing close enough where James Robinson can
Speaker 1: be a factor of the entire game except for two
Speaker 1: and a half quarters. Yeah, this is this is a
Speaker 1: tough You need everybody on deck. This is a game
Speaker 1: that really requires complimentary football. It requires the defense to
Speaker 1: be able to prop up the offense and the special teams,
Speaker 1: the kicking game. They need to provide some opportunities for
Speaker 1: the offense. This team is difficult because you look at them,
Speaker 1: they're owing for but they played four really good teams. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know. The challenge there to have Deshaun Watson. They
Speaker 1: have some playmakers. The defense still has some talent, but
Speaker 1: they haven't put it all together. What has to happen
Speaker 1: early with the momentum that they have. Jaguars have to
Speaker 1: jump on them right away. You have to put them
Speaker 1: in a hold. You can't let them get any confidence
Speaker 1: because this is a game that I'm sure they're looking
Speaker 1: at the Jaguars as Hey, this is a get right
Speaker 1: game for us. We can get a division game against
Speaker 1: the team that we feel strongly that we can be
Speaker 1: And John to your point, the Jacks have dropped four
Speaker 1: in a row against the Texans, and fifteen of the
Speaker 1: last nineteen meetings have gone Houston's way in this series.
Speaker 1: Let's come back. You've touched on the defense briefly. We
Speaker 1: will go in depth for this group that's had another
Speaker 1: struggle last week in Cincinnati and see if we can
Speaker 1: figure some things out on the defensive side. Farah and

Speaker 1: Jaguar is happy our rules along. On this Wednesday of
Speaker 1: Week five, the Jags and the Texans coming up in
Speaker 1: urg Stadium. The site want o'clock kickoff time this week
Speaker 1: is the Jags trying to snap a three game slide. Well,
Speaker 1: let's move along now to the defensive side and the
Speaker 1: big storylines going into last week's game, where hey, you
Speaker 1: gotta get pressure on Joe Burrow, you gotta continue to
Speaker 1: stop the run. Joe Mixon hadn't done a lot yet
Speaker 1: in the season. Um, well, neither one of those happened.
Speaker 1: Part of that was some of the front line players
Speaker 1: went out in the second half. That's when Joe Mixon
Speaker 1: got most of his yardage on the ground. He went
Speaker 1: for a hundred and twenty one of his one fifty
Speaker 1: one in the second half of the game. Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: had one official sack. It was a slide down to
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage touchdown by Josh Allen and he
Speaker 1: was only hit five times. So, John, none of the
Speaker 1: things that we discussed going into the game really worked
Speaker 1: out for the Jaguars defense last week. You know, nothing did.
Speaker 1: And the only sliver that you can hang on to
Speaker 1: is they weren't very good. And I don't think they're
Speaker 1: going to be dominated all this year. I think that's
Speaker 1: sort of out of the realm of possibility unless they
Speaker 1: prove us incredibly wrong. But they were hanging around and
Speaker 1: they were managing it, if you will, when Miles Jack
Speaker 1: was in the game, so you know, if he comes back,
Speaker 1: can they be a defense that treads water enough to
Speaker 1: keep the offense in the game. You know, it all
Speaker 1: went away against Joe Mixing when Myles went out. Had
Speaker 1: it not, you probably don't see those easy third quarter
Speaker 1: touchdown drive and they're still in the fourth quarter. So
Speaker 1: you know, that's my sliver of hope, Bucky, I'm hanging
Speaker 1: on over here. There's a thread here and I'm hanging
Speaker 1: on by it. But that's my hope. No, it's tough
Speaker 1: because the defense just hasn't generated enough big plays and
Speaker 1: the two blue chip players that we know about a
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Miles Jack and I will now begin to
Speaker 1: throw Josh Jones into that category because he has been
Speaker 1: a very productive player for the Jaguars coming out of
Speaker 1: the safety position. But those guys have to make all
Speaker 1: of the plays and it's just so tough for them
Speaker 1: to have everything on their shoulders. So you do need
Speaker 1: some guys to step up. We do need to see
Speaker 1: Joe Schulbert make some plays, particularly against the run game.
Speaker 1: You need some of the guys up front to be
Speaker 1: able to occupy those blockers so they can run and chase.
Speaker 1: But it's a collaborative effort. The defense as a whole
Speaker 1: needs to play better. They have to be able to
Speaker 1: take care of business on early downs, so maybe you
Speaker 1: can back up the quarterback and have a chance to
Speaker 1: get off the field on third down. Now, historically Watson
Speaker 1: does hold the ball a little bit, but you can
Speaker 1: also take off and run like a deer around and
Speaker 1: through the defense too, Bucky. So that's the issue this week.
Speaker 1: That is the issue. He's a fantastic playmaker, but jp
Speaker 1: you pointed out something that is his achilles hell. He
Speaker 1: does hold onto the ball for an extended period of time.
Speaker 1: And if you do have pass rushers, he gives them
Speaker 1: opportunities to get home. He also has a problem when
Speaker 1: you can move him around and kind of get him
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, he will make some haphazard throws
Speaker 1: and there are some turnover opportunities that should be available.
Speaker 1: And so he is a fantastic player. He's definitely on
Speaker 1: the rise and beginning to knock on the door and
Speaker 1: that elite category when it comes to be in a
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. But the Jaguars could have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to force them into some turnovers if they can just
Speaker 1: find a way to generate some kind of pressure at
Speaker 1: the point of attack. You know, John, It's interesting looking
Speaker 1: at the final results and and what Deshaun Watson has
Speaker 1: done against the Jags. It's not like a pinball machine
Speaker 1: in terms of statistics for Deshaun when he plays the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: he's effective though they get winning results, but the results
Speaker 1: are twenty to seven, twenty to three, thirteen to twelve
Speaker 1: to three. In London last year, he threw a couple
Speaker 1: of touchdowns in that game, but it's not like he's
Speaker 1: throwing for four hundred yards every time. Yeah, London felt
Speaker 1: like forty though I mean, I'm not I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to jump on everything, but that felt like an absolute blowout.
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't from the score, but it felt
Speaker 1: like the Texans had can role. But saying that, I'll
Speaker 1: give you a clue into my ten things this week, JP,
Speaker 1: and you look forward to my ten things on Friday morning.
Speaker 1: Ten things the Jaguars must do to beat the Texans.
Speaker 1: One is pressuring Shaun Wat, but the biggest one is
Speaker 1: tackling Deshaun Wat. And that's what really defined the London
Speaker 1: game last year. So the last time the two teams played,
Speaker 1: they got all sorts of pressure, and it feels like
Speaker 1: there were ten times where they had him. He spun
Speaker 1: away and made play. That's his m Oh, they've got
Speaker 1: a pressure, but you must tackle this man and too off.
Speaker 1: He has made the three or four plays a game
Speaker 1: by escaping pressure against the Jaguars. So can you stop that?
Speaker 1: Can you actually get him down when you get the sack.
Speaker 1: There would be nothing more frustrating for this team, meaning
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, than to get great pressure and have Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson beat them the way he's beaten them the last
Speaker 1: few times, which is escaping it breaking a tackle and
Speaker 1: making a playdown field. It's funny, John, I want to
Speaker 1: piggyback off that point because you talk about the pressure
Speaker 1: in being able to stay after him. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a concerted effort from the back end to plaster the
Speaker 1: receivers when Deshaun Watson leaves the pocket. A lot of
Speaker 1: times with Deshaun Watson, when he's moving around, somehow his
Speaker 1: guys are uncovered and he'll launch a bomb down the field.
Speaker 1: So it's really important this week in practice that the
Speaker 1: coaches are harping on the dbs. Stay with your guy,
Speaker 1: even if Deshaun Watson is running around. You let the
Speaker 1: rush and the linebackers take care of number four. You
Speaker 1: make sure you stay with your guy. Cannot see these
Speaker 1: big plays happen because this is a game that should
Speaker 1: be very, very competitive, and you just don't want to
Speaker 1: see the explosive place particular off or broken play become
Speaker 1: one of the deciding factors. One other note on on Watson.
Speaker 1: We were talking about his pensiant for holding the ball
Speaker 1: a little long. Remember a few years ago he had
Speaker 1: sixty He was sacked sixty two times. I was a
Speaker 1: league under that year eighteen and so far this year
Speaker 1: six team sacks of us and that is a league
Speaker 1: high for how's the old line holding up in Houston, Bucket?
Speaker 1: I mean you said he's been batted around a lot
Speaker 1: of it. Some of it is due to his own
Speaker 1: um desire to hold onto the ball waiting for the
Speaker 1: big play to develop. But this offensive line they have,
Speaker 1: they have pieces up front. Landrytowns is one of the
Speaker 1: best left tackles that you can find, um, But there's
Speaker 1: some vulnerabilities there. The problem that you have a few
Speaker 1: time watched. How do I go about attacking this offensive line?
Speaker 1: If I bring extra defenders? Am I confident enough that
Speaker 1: my guys can cover? I would say this week they
Speaker 1: may have an opportunity to be able to cover on
Speaker 1: the outside. Not an entire game of one like cover
Speaker 1: Warner Man free coverage, But I think you can man
Speaker 1: up a little bit and come after them. I think
Speaker 1: he has to pick his spots, but he cannot allow
Speaker 1: the Shan Watson to sit back in the pocket like
Speaker 1: a toy soldier and have his way when he wants
Speaker 1: to throw the wall. All right, let's get to this
Speaker 1: the running game of Hughes and David Johnson came in
Speaker 1: in the trade obviously from from Arizona. You know in
Speaker 1: the past down there, they've had some some big name
Speaker 1: backs over the years, but Johnson had most of his
Speaker 1: big time in Arizona earlier in his career. So far,
Speaker 1: you see on your screen what he has done here.
Speaker 1: And how about that he has not played Jacksonville ever.
Speaker 1: He was out the year the Jags played the Cardinals
Speaker 1: out there, so he did not play in that game.
Speaker 1: What do you make of Johnson so far? He'll he'll
Speaker 1: have his moments, Bucky, Yeah, he had his moments. Man.
Speaker 1: He looked like he was getting off to a great
Speaker 1: stary the first game of the year against the Keen
Speaker 1: City Chiefs opening drive man. They fed it to him,
Speaker 1: they gave it to him. He was running, he was catching.
Speaker 1: He looked like David Johnson vol who almost getting the
Speaker 1: one thousand, one thousand club um. Since that point in
Speaker 1: the year, they just haven't been able to do it.
Speaker 1: But you now wonder, without Bill O'Brien on the sideline,
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly being able to really put his stamp on
Speaker 1: this offense, do they find a way to feature David Johnson.
Speaker 1: I think that is probably the best course of action
Speaker 1: for them because the alleviate some of the pressure on
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, no doubt about that. And John of course
Speaker 1: they have deep threat and Will Fuller, who when healthy,
Speaker 1: can be productive on the outside. And given what's going
Speaker 1: on in the secondary these days for the Jags, that
Speaker 1: could be something that the Texans could exploit. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: h Fuller has played well this year. Their receivers haven't
Speaker 1: been a problem. But since we have the scout on
Speaker 1: I want to ask out his take on this because
Speaker 1: I just don't know it. How much does the offense,
Speaker 1: especially Deshaun Watson. We all talked about the Hopkins factor
Speaker 1: when he left. How different is it and how different
Speaker 1: a quarterback does Watson have to be because of hopkins
Speaker 1: absent hows that really played out. So so here's the
Speaker 1: thing with the DeAndre Hopkins. He's one of the funnest
Speaker 1: playmakers in football, that wide received, maybe the best wide
Speaker 1: receiver in the game. The problem that you have when
Speaker 1: you had DeAndre Hopkins in Houston with Deshaun Watson, he
Speaker 1: had a crush so in every critical situation he would
Speaker 1: throw the all the number ten, which is fine, but
Speaker 1: it prevented him from fully expanding his game. Well, now,
Speaker 1: when you have these other guys around the Cob and
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and Will Fuller, you really have a series
Speaker 1: of catch and run playmakers, guys that you can throw
Speaker 1: the underneath stuff and it enables you, in theory to
Speaker 1: protect the Shan Watson from taking those hits if you
Speaker 1: will get the ball out of his hands. And so
Speaker 1: it hasn't come together yet, but certainly he could be
Speaker 1: dangerous with those guys. And Will Fuller is typically the
Speaker 1: guy that makes it go because he is the vertical stretch.
Speaker 1: He's the big play player. He can make it happen.
Speaker 1: And also, I forgot to mention Kenny Steels. Kenny Steel
Speaker 1: is also another player that can make things happen on
Speaker 1: the perimeter. All Right, there's a look at the Texans
Speaker 1: offense against the Jaguars defense that that needs a good effort.
Speaker 1: They need they give the effort. That's not what I meant.
Speaker 1: They need a good result this week from all of
Speaker 1: that effort. They haven't had one in a few weeks.
Speaker 1: It's uh, maybe this is the week to get things
Speaker 1: right or closer to right. On the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the football. This season, the Jags are launching predictive gaming

Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group.
Speaker 1: That music each week means it's time to hear from
Speaker 1: head equipment manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jimmy Luck, who
Speaker 1: joins us from t I A. A. Bank Field and
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Good afternoon. What's up man? What's going on?
Speaker 1: How you guys doing. We're hanging in there, getting ready
Speaker 1: to go to Houston another road trip. Back to back
Speaker 1: road games. How difficult of a stretch is that for
Speaker 1: you and your crew? I know this, this whole thing
Speaker 1: is a little more difficult than normal this year, but
Speaker 1: in terms of back to back road games, it just
Speaker 1: adds a little more to what what is on your plate.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Well, we just it's kind of we get
Speaker 1: back and we restocked the trunks and get them ready
Speaker 1: to head back out and put back on the truck
Speaker 1: and uh, the drive truck will head out tomorrow, so um,
Speaker 1: we get them all, make sure we got I'm ready
Speaker 1: to go tonight and put it on the road and
Speaker 1: back up the player bag Saturday and off we go.
Speaker 1: It's interesting what goes that it's just part of your day.
Speaker 1: I mean, is it adding that much anymore or is it?
Speaker 1: I mean something how overwhelming it is for the staff.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be tough. Yeah, But we've kind of we've
Speaker 1: kind of gotten our routine down. I mean, we've done
Speaker 1: it since training camp with the extra cleaning and some
Speaker 1: of the other little things we do here and there. Um,
Speaker 1: So it's kind of just become part of the daily routine.
Speaker 1: And you know, we might get here a few minutes
Speaker 1: earlier and stay a few minutes later, but it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of just the routine now, you know, because
Speaker 1: we all like working and playing, so that's what we
Speaker 1: gotta do, no doubt about that. Hey, Jimmy, what's the
Speaker 1: big difference this year that we haven't seen a lot
Speaker 1: of or any of because it's against the rules this
Speaker 1: year is the postgame jersey exchange between players on the field.
Speaker 1: Of course, the focus the last day or so has
Speaker 1: been to find Gilmore talking close with Patrick Mahomes. But
Speaker 1: in those circumstances in the past, a lot of times
Speaker 1: guys would take the jerseys off exchange and get photos
Speaker 1: and do all that. Um, how is that different this year?
Speaker 1: Our guy is still exchanging them through mail. How's that
Speaker 1: happening and how does that affect you? Yeah, so that
Speaker 1: it really hasn't stopped them from trading jerseys. It just happens, uh,
Speaker 1: kind of behind closed doors now, um, which I'm not
Speaker 1: a big fan of it, just because it's puts a
Speaker 1: little bit more work on us. But at least if
Speaker 1: they did it on the field, then I don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about it later it's already done. Um. But
Speaker 1: now with the new product calls, it's you know, like
Speaker 1: you said, it's just another thing we do. We bring
Speaker 1: them back, we sanitize them, and then the guys will
Speaker 1: normally want to sign them, and then I'll send a
Speaker 1: package with, you know, a couple of jerseys up there,
Speaker 1: and their equipment guy will just send me a package
Speaker 1: with a couple of jerseys. So, um, it just goes
Speaker 1: longer into the week where if it's right there on
Speaker 1: the field, it's kind of over and done with Bucky.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that being a thing except for recent history.
Speaker 1: Is that true? I didn't have like, yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: a that's a that's a recent thing. JP is is new.
Speaker 1: I think the only thing I was trying to do
Speaker 1: is trying to swipe the jersey at the end of
Speaker 1: the year, my own jersey, not get somebody else's. Like
Speaker 1: that was always the big thing. Can I get my
Speaker 1: own jersey in my helmet and that stuff? Um, Jimmy
Speaker 1: with with with all of the things that are going on,
Speaker 1: how how are the guys responding to like just the
Speaker 1: differences when it comes to like the different uniforms and
Speaker 1: those things whatever. How responsible had they been to the
Speaker 1: designs that you put out there for them eating every week? Um? Well,
Speaker 1: I try to get their feedback. Um. Obviously the jerseys
Speaker 1: and things like that, what we wear are dictated by
Speaker 1: who's the home team and kind of what our marketing
Speaker 1: plans are and and all that, and then whatever the
Speaker 1: visiting team desides, we basically do the opposite. So jerseys
Speaker 1: are pretty much set. Um. But we do go in
Speaker 1: and talk to some of the players and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, what paints do you like, what color you
Speaker 1: want to wear, what color socks you want to wear?
Speaker 1: So well, we'll try to get their feedback on it. Um,
Speaker 1: nobody's always happy no matter what we wear. Somebody's always
Speaker 1: on me. But you know, it's part of the deal,
Speaker 1: and we like giving people a hard time about it.
Speaker 1: Uh Abriy was just in there a minute ago, asking, um,
Speaker 1: you know why we're wearing this, and I said, well,
Speaker 1: we went around and ask all the really good players
Speaker 1: what their opinion. He said, well, nobody asked me. There
Speaker 1: you go. I don't know so, but that's but that's
Speaker 1: kind of some of the ribbing we give in you know,
Speaker 1: Cam Cam thinks he's a big fashion guy, so we'll
Speaker 1: ask him a little bit. So, but it's all in
Speaker 1: good fun in there, I would I would think so
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not for the weak hearted, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: When you walk in that equipment room, everybody is is
Speaker 1: open and fair game in that room. All right, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: are you ready to unveil the uniforms if you would? Sir?
Speaker 1: What are the Jaguars wearing this Sunday against the Texans
Speaker 1: at NRG Stadium. So we're going with the white jerseys.
Speaker 1: We got Jason he's he's actually from Houston, so when
Speaker 1: we got him, got him going there. And then even
Speaker 1: though it kind of looks the same, we're going white pants,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna wear the black socks with it. So
Speaker 1: and Jason does a little neat thing where we take
Speaker 1: some tights and sew it on there so he doesn't
Speaker 1: get fined and then skin, so we we'll wear the
Speaker 1: white jerseys, white pants with black socks. Whoa, that's that's
Speaker 1: quite the contraption right there. Those pants. Now the tights
Speaker 1: are sewn into the bottom of the thing, so so
Speaker 1: he doesn't get in trouble for showing his skin, that's right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So it gives the appearance of that is box are
Speaker 1: pulled up and then he can kind of wear like
Speaker 1: midcalf socks and not have to worry about it. So
Speaker 1: it's still things. I think that's why I kind of
Speaker 1: brought that. I thought that was kind of a neat
Speaker 1: little thing for everybody to see that you don't really
Speaker 1: notice on the field. But um, you know, we try
Speaker 1: to help those guys out with some of that stuff.
Speaker 1: So they they've taken a trick. We used to cut
Speaker 1: off the bottom of the socks. So you wear two
Speaker 1: fair of socks, you would cut off the bottom and
Speaker 1: put that on over top of your second layer, so
Speaker 1: you could wear the booties or the footies or whatever
Speaker 1: it is that you wanted to wear. But now the
Speaker 1: equipment team is all on it. Look at you guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just says that because sometimes guys, you know, like
Speaker 1: some of these guys have giant calves, and even when
Speaker 1: you cut the socks, it's just so tight on them
Speaker 1: that that makes it easier just to take a pair
Speaker 1: of types and do that. So, Um, there's all sorts
Speaker 1: of little tricks we try to do. You know, if
Speaker 1: they want to leave their shirt on tuck, we try
Speaker 1: to give them the same color shirt as the pants
Speaker 1: at least so it's not as noticeable, you know. So
Speaker 1: there's some things that we try to do to help
Speaker 1: them so they don't get fined. Look at that ingenuity
Speaker 1: in the equipment room. I remember this was when Brad
Speaker 1: Measter played Look how you'll remember this when he had
Speaker 1: his jersey but it had like a button underneath between
Speaker 1: his legs. The jersey went all the way down there
Speaker 1: and that's kind of high a ward. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: he did that. He did that his whole career. And
Speaker 1: there was another jag that um that did that that
Speaker 1: we had in Atlanta. Um, Grady Jackson and sometimes those
Speaker 1: big guys not the greatest thing to help him get
Speaker 1: in and out of that. But you know, it keeps
Speaker 1: her shirt tucked in and um, but it's kind of
Speaker 1: a neat thing, you know, and it's did you build
Speaker 1: a little bond with him when you help him like that?
Speaker 1: I think so you might have to go button that yourself, sir.
Speaker 1: All right, Jimmy, well done. That's what the Jaguars are
Speaker 1: wearing this Sunday in Houston. And let's go get a
Speaker 1: w down of the NRG Stadium. How about it, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: all right, let's do it. Let's do it. Jimmy Luck,
Speaker 1: let's play him out here, the head equipment manager for

Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group on
Speaker 1: this Wednesday, We're getting ready for the Houston Texans. The
Speaker 1: Jags and the Texans the a f C South battle.
Speaker 1: Jags at one and three, they dropped three straight, the
Speaker 1: Texans at oh and four and no head coach, well,
Speaker 1: the interim head coach is now Romeo Cornell after they
Speaker 1: fired Bill O'Brien on Monday. So turmoil in Houston. But
Speaker 1: we heard what Gardner Minshew had to say about that
Speaker 1: earlier today. If you didn't check out his press conference
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com. The Jags have introduced Jags at Home,
Speaker 1: an interactive second screen experience on Jaguars game days that
Speaker 1: features Ashman Sullivan and Eric Dunn. You'll have a chance
Speaker 1: to win ten thousand dollars in cash and prizes each
Speaker 1: game day. Visit Jags at Home dot com and they'll
Speaker 1: be ready to roll this Sunday as well. Let's let's
Speaker 1: before we get to the Scouts view and Big Game
Speaker 1: Jaguar those are coming up. Let's touch on the little
Speaker 1: the NFL news, guys. The latest COVID nineteen news. The
Speaker 1: Titans had two more positives, so their building is still closed.
Speaker 1: So obviously this week's game against the Bills is up
Speaker 1: in the air. But apparently reports now guys, that they
Speaker 1: broke protocols and gathering for a workout off site at
Speaker 1: some point last week. This is not This is not
Speaker 1: going away in Tennessee, Bucky, very easily. No, it's not
Speaker 1: going away. And sometimes you have to protect players against themselves.
Speaker 1: And so they're sitting there and they're trying to when
Speaker 1: everyone would tell you to get extra workouts in and
Speaker 1: the camaraderie of coming together whatever in this climate, that
Speaker 1: is not what you want to do. And so Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna get hefty fines, they're going to be penalized,
Speaker 1: and they may miss another game because the COVID testing
Speaker 1: has turned up a couple more positive tests and and
Speaker 1: John is happening another one in New England. Of course
Speaker 1: with the Guildmore we've heard about, and that domino effect
Speaker 1: is not quite started to fall as of yet. We
Speaker 1: hope it doesn't. But that's another big name. Yeah, it is,
Speaker 1: And I don't know what's gonna You don't know how
Speaker 1: the Gilmore thing is going to expand, so it's impossible
Speaker 1: to really comment on that yet. But getting back to
Speaker 1: the Tennessee thing, and you know, rivalry aside, this is
Speaker 1: between matter what team we're talking about. When the Saints
Speaker 1: got punished for was it bounty gate way back when
Speaker 1: the hefty punishment was sort of about a blatant disregard
Speaker 1: for what was right in the NFL. This is going
Speaker 1: to be that same thing if they find out, if
Speaker 1: the league indeed does find out that there was a
Speaker 1: blatant disregard for COVID rule and for just sort of
Speaker 1: flaunting when you're told not to when you go ahead
Speaker 1: and do it. It's like when I was raising my son.
Speaker 1: It's one of you made a mistake. If I said, Jake,
Speaker 1: don't do that and he went and did it, that
Speaker 1: was different. And as you know, JP, he did that
Speaker 1: a lot. But this is gonna be a real deal
Speaker 1: in terms of punishment. I don't know if it's draft
Speaker 1: picks or forfeiting or what, but this feels like not
Speaker 1: a slap on the wrist. It feels like a message
Speaker 1: is going to be saying a hard message. And I'm
Speaker 1: fascinated to see how it's going to play out. Because
Speaker 1: if it indeed was a blatant thing where they said
Speaker 1: we're going to go practice after the commissioner told us
Speaker 1: not to, wow, can be bad. Yeah, and this one,
Speaker 1: this story is obviously just beginning to boil over and
Speaker 1: we'll follow it as the rest of you will throughout
Speaker 1: the coming days and weeks. And by the way, Jake
Speaker 1: is a a as a perfect angel. John. They didn't
Speaker 1: do anything wrong? Well fair still paying for it? Right,
Speaker 1: that's okay, I mean that happens. Let's get the Scouts
Speaker 1: view this week. Guys and Buckey, we want to hear
Speaker 1: your take on the Jaguars Wide Receiver Corps. It was
Speaker 1: a heralding group coming into this season. There was a
Speaker 1: lot of high hopes I think for that for that unit, Um,
Speaker 1: what is your take so far on them? Have they
Speaker 1: lived up to that expectation? I think they have. JP,
Speaker 1: I think you should be pleasantly surprised by the work
Speaker 1: that we're seeing from the Jaguars wide receiver corps. UM.
Speaker 1: D Jhark has has been solid when he's been on
Speaker 1: the field. You see Leabiscus Chanf has come on like
Speaker 1: game busters, and keenly Cold is still the chain mover
Speaker 1: that you want. I think the big disappointment for me
Speaker 1: would be Chris Conney because he's had some drops that
Speaker 1: have plagued his play. But right now, I think the
Speaker 1: strength of the Jaguars squad would be the consistency of
Speaker 1: the wide receiver corps and the diversity that they have
Speaker 1: a month to core. I think this is something that
Speaker 1: you certainly can build on and going forward as they
Speaker 1: continue to rebuild this team, I think they should feel
Speaker 1: good about the pass catches that they have on the perimeter. John,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about this group so far? Obviously
Speaker 1: was should not jumping in and playing well. That's an
Speaker 1: added booze chart. We knew was going to be very good,
Speaker 1: but um, it's been nice so far to see these
Speaker 1: guys actually playing pretty well. You would say it's it's
Speaker 1: as expected. I mean, I thought d J again, I
Speaker 1: thought he was going to develop. I didn't know if
Speaker 1: he was going to be an elite one. I think
Speaker 1: he's showing he's that. To me. Channault's far ahead of
Speaker 1: what I expect from a rookie receiver because I I
Speaker 1: just don't expect much out of rookies. I think he's
Speaker 1: going to get better and better as he learns more
Speaker 1: about the nuances of the game. And Keenan Keenan McCard al,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars wide receivers coach, he's going to teach him that.
Speaker 1: Uh So, I think they've got two guys they can
Speaker 1: go build around, and then beyond that, I'm not really
Speaker 1: surprised at the rest of it, because I think the
Speaker 1: guys are what we thought they were, So, you know,
Speaker 1: I absolutely think it's a good group. I think it's
Speaker 1: almost unfair or it's hard to gauge them incredibly well
Speaker 1: because when you're so far down all the time, the
Speaker 1: opponent knows what kind of routes you're going to have
Speaker 1: to run. I would love to see the entire offense
Speaker 1: play a couple of games where they have a three
Speaker 1: point lead or they're in it, because then the defense
Speaker 1: doesn't know what you're gonna play. So I think in
Speaker 1: that sense, Shark is able to thrive because no matter
Speaker 1: what you do against him, he's gonna thrive. Most receivers
Speaker 1: need some sort of scheming and help. It's harder to
Speaker 1: do that when you're so far behind the way the
Speaker 1: game goes. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. So there's
Speaker 1: our scouts tech. Thank you very much for that. This week.
Speaker 1: Let's get now to our big game Jaguar of the Week,
Speaker 1: where we pick our Jaguar to have a big game
Speaker 1: for the Jags this week against the Houston Texas. We're
Speaker 1: gonna switch up the order this throw a curveball at
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm going first, and I'm going with James Robinson,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars wide are running back. He's been fantastic. Of course,
Speaker 1: the most scrimmage yards through four games were undrafted rookie
Speaker 1: in league history. He's fantastic so far. Can they run
Speaker 1: the ball a bit more? Can they balance out this offense?
Speaker 1: To the point we just kind of made there and
Speaker 1: heard from John and Bucky. It would help if they
Speaker 1: were in a second half where they had a tie
Speaker 1: or a lead or were close and could stick with
Speaker 1: that running game and see how he can really play
Speaker 1: in that scenario. But I think they're going to give
Speaker 1: him the ball and I think he's my big game
Speaker 1: Jaguar for this week in Houston, especially considering that the
Speaker 1: Texans have struggled a bit against the run this year. Johnny, Oh,
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Well, maybe you could
Speaker 1: just go again, JPM I, since you're going first, now,
Speaker 1: I just go. You take It's uh. I'm a bitter man.
Speaker 1: I'm a bitter, bitter person. I think she is intriguing
Speaker 1: this week. He needs to have a big game because
Speaker 1: you need somebody aside from d Jhark in the passing game.
Speaker 1: What I wonder about Chinald and I don't know the
Speaker 1: answer to it. How will he continue to develop? He
Speaker 1: had five catches Brady sick last week. I think it
Speaker 1: was or he was in that rain. That's enough to
Speaker 1: make coordinators really watch him now. He still needs developing.
Speaker 1: He still doesn't He's not a great route runner, not
Speaker 1: great with his hands. Yet how quickly is he developing
Speaker 1: on that front? Can he back up a very productive
Speaker 1: week last week with another productive week this week? Starts
Speaker 1: showing consistency that veteran receivers usually start showing. But he's
Speaker 1: going to figure out a way to contribute somehow because
Speaker 1: he's so athletic and can do so many things. Alright,
Speaker 1: I started this all strong, osure kind of got us
Speaker 1: through the middle of the race. But now the anchor leg,
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, is gonna bring us on home with his
Speaker 1: what do you yeah, I'm gonna bring you home. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that Garner Minshew has the big sombrero
Speaker 1: this he has to wear the big head. He needs
Speaker 1: to be the big game Jaguar because they needed to
Speaker 1: play at a high level. I know we saw and
Speaker 1: we've talked about him throwing for over fifty yards against
Speaker 1: the Bengals, but I want to see him do it
Speaker 1: when it really matters. This is the week for them
Speaker 1: to be able to do it, because I do believe
Speaker 1: James Robinson should have success running the ball. That should
Speaker 1: enable Garner mensh you to be able to throw the
Speaker 1: ball in favorable situations. He has shown that he can
Speaker 1: do that. Let's see him do it at a high level.
Speaker 1: This is the week for him to do so. All right,
Speaker 1: there you have it. I've got Robinson, Osha has shan All,
Speaker 1: Bucky has Gardner Minshew with the big sombrero. I like
Speaker 1: that reference. Very nice, well done, Bucky. Alright, final thought
Speaker 1: here feel for this game this week. It's a combined
Speaker 1: one and seven record between the teams, so it's not
Speaker 1: the ideal on paper matchup that's gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of national buzz. But obviously both teams need this game
Speaker 1: for really similar reasons. The Texans are in turmoil. The
Speaker 1: Jaguars have dropped three straight. John, how's this when gonna
Speaker 1: of feel on Sunday? Well, I feel better about it
Speaker 1: than I did last week. I've had a bad feeling
Speaker 1: all last week about the Cincinnati game because it felt
Speaker 1: like they were ready to break out. So I don't
Speaker 1: necessarily feel the way about the Texans until they fired O'Brien,
Speaker 1: and I worry about the adrenaline thing a little bit. Uh,
Speaker 1: They're not that bad the Texans. They're not owing for bad.
Speaker 1: They play to have schedule, but they're also not playing
Speaker 1: up to what they were supposed to play too, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Jags, but it's going to
Speaker 1: take what Bucky just talked about. Gardeners got to wear
Speaker 1: the sombrero for me to feel great about the Jags.
Speaker 1: I think he does it this week. You know, this
Speaker 1: is a tough one, JP, because I feel like this
Speaker 1: game is going to play out like the other games,
Speaker 1: particularly in the first half. I feel like the momentum
Speaker 1: from the Texans early, they probably come hot off the gate.
Speaker 1: But I do believe because the Jaguars are played in
Speaker 1: so many of these games, the offense will get them
Speaker 1: back in and then it's up to the defense us
Speaker 1: to find a couple of stops in the third and
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Don't expect them to dominate the game, but
Speaker 1: just a couple of time, almost like an arena ball game.
Speaker 1: If they can just get two or three stops, I
Speaker 1: think that is more than enough for them to be
Speaker 1: able to win. Because the offense should have their way
Speaker 1: against the Texans defense. Yeah, they forced one point last week.
Speaker 1: That was on the opening drive against Cincinnati. He had
Speaker 1: the interception after the drive, but they didn't stop them
Speaker 1: the rest of the day. Stop a turnover, something to
Speaker 1: to get the Texans off the field. Was certainly humped there.
Speaker 1: A guy's well done. We got through another program. Johnny
Speaker 1: Oh will talk to you a little later in the week,
Speaker 1: and Bucky, we will talk to you on post game
Speaker 1: this coming Sunday. Appreciate it, guys, all right, John Os,
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. For our entire crew, I'm J. P. Shandrick.
Speaker 1: Thank you for watching this Wednesday edition of Jaguars Happy Hour,
