Speaker 1: Peterson's got He's on the run of the outside the
Speaker 1: five touch down, Mike Pearson. It is Wednesday, December. This
Speaker 1: is Jaguars Happy Hour. Jaguars Happy Hour is presented by
Speaker 1: the Fields Auto Group and now former bat Boy apprentice
Speaker 1: to MC hammer, Jay Pace Shadrick. Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: President by the Fields Auto Group. My name's J. P. Shadrick.
Speaker 1: His name is John Osier. Thank you for being with
Speaker 1: us today. Here's what's coming up on the program. Falcons
Speaker 1: Week is underway. Yes, it is Jags and the Falcons
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday in week sixteen in Atlanta locker room
Speaker 1: reaction to the nfl p A letter. We'll hear from
Speaker 1: some guys today, including Abrey Jones, who had some notable
Speaker 1: comments that are exclusive to this show in just a
Speaker 1: few moments. In fact, Chris Conley in studio. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that topic will come up with him as well, and
Speaker 1: his two touchdowns in Oakland last week. And players to watch.
Speaker 1: We will pick players that you should watch on Sunday.
Speaker 1: That's all coming up. Hi, John, how are you Budd Hi,
Speaker 1: James Patrick, that's not the second ones, right, Um, this
Speaker 1: is um the eventful day obviously after all the news
Speaker 1: of the last day or so, the first time in
Speaker 1: the locker room hearing from these guys, and I think
Speaker 1: there were some notable comments from a bunch of different
Speaker 1: guys today, Yeah, there were, and autom were candid and uh,
Speaker 1: you know the fine thing, the NFL p a thing,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a separate thing from what's going on
Speaker 1: inside the locker room. I think, thank you saw in
Speaker 1: Oakland after that game. These guys are playing for each other,
Speaker 1: they're playing hard. It's not acting what's going on on
Speaker 1: the field, but it's it's it's a huge issue off
Speaker 1: the field, and uh, you know it's going to be
Speaker 1: a topic I think until the end of the season
Speaker 1: when the organization says here's what we're doing going forward.
Speaker 1: At that point, I assume more big players, shot, con
Speaker 1: higher ups, etcetera, etcetera, will address it at some point.
Speaker 1: I think the feeling right now is now is not
Speaker 1: the time, even though it feels like a lot of
Speaker 1: people that it would be the time. But in terms
Speaker 1: of the team and getting this season done, it feels
Speaker 1: like Hey, we're not talking about right now. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about when when they feel it's appropriate. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's where we are. I would say, probably address
Speaker 1: it publicly. I'm sure there's addressed behind the scenes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that question, I mean, you've got to hear from spinding
Speaker 1: out here something down. I get the need to do that,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, I would assume the thought is, hey,
Speaker 1: let's not take anything more than we have to away
Speaker 1: from what's going on in the field by creating, you know,
Speaker 1: more buzz by us saying something. Let's let it play out,
Speaker 1: and I will address it when again, they feel it's appropriate. Uh.
Speaker 1: I assume that's where they're at. Let's hear from head
Speaker 1: coach Doug Morone. He got it started today and in
Speaker 1: his opening comments discussed what everybody was going to ask
Speaker 1: about anyway. You know, I made a conscious decision that
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to get myself wrapped up in this
Speaker 1: to learn everything about it to be able to speak
Speaker 1: about it. Um. But I do will tell you this
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm focusing on, you know, getting this
Speaker 1: team ready, trying to play, trying to you know, show
Speaker 1: that I'm deserving of a job. I mean that's the truth. Um,
Speaker 1: and that's where my focus is. And like I said before,
Speaker 1: if if things happen at the end and I have
Speaker 1: time to look into it and find it, shoot, you
Speaker 1: guys know, I'll stand up here and I'll answer all
Speaker 1: your questions on it. But right now that that that's
Speaker 1: not my focus. I'm trying to save, save, save everyone,
Speaker 1: you know, the players on the coaches. I thought Doug
Speaker 1: Maron was was very very good today when addressing all this,
Speaker 1: because every question in the press conference after this opening
Speaker 1: statement except for one, was about the p A letter Today. Well,
Speaker 1: and I think most people who watched this show follow
Speaker 1: this team extensively, so they they know that Doug has
Speaker 1: been put in a situation to talk about a lot
Speaker 1: of things this year that he really didn't have a
Speaker 1: whole lot of control over. So that has been an issue. Um.
Speaker 1: I think what Doug said about his focus, Uh, maybe
Speaker 1: some people who follow it casually may look at that
Speaker 1: and say, well, obviously he's talked to people about it.
Speaker 1: You know, Doug, really, from the time of game ends
Speaker 1: to the time the next game ends, is the plate
Speaker 1: is full for a head coach. I do believe him
Speaker 1: when if he had spent Monday and Tuesday in meetings
Speaker 1: trying to talk to people and quote unquote get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of something. Regarding this well, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: that's a huge chunk of his percentage of of pie time,
Speaker 1: if you will, um spent on this issue. That doesn't
Speaker 1: do any players or coaches any good. So, while I'm
Speaker 1: sure there are conversations going on elsewhere around the building,
Speaker 1: people aren't involved in game day operation or in the
Speaker 1: preparation for a game. I believe Doug when he says, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I've only got so many hours in a
Speaker 1: day to sit in a meeting and try to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of something that happened whenever I I
Speaker 1: do believe him when he says that would take so
Speaker 1: much time away from what he's trying to get at it. Again,
Speaker 1: we're not really talking about the issue that people want
Speaker 1: to talk about. But as the quote we just played
Speaker 1: from Doug, any question, he's telling you up front how
Speaker 1: he's approaching it. All right, Well, we'll hear from some
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room coming up in just a
Speaker 1: little bit, including Avery Jones and a J boy. We'll
Speaker 1: take a time out though, come back with Chris Conley,
Speaker 1: a regular co host and a special guests from the
Speaker 1: locker room in just moments. We're often running as Jaguars

Speaker 1: man only. I'm only on here for ten minutes. Chris,
Speaker 1: it's just me. Well, you can be on as long
Speaker 1: as you ten minutes. It's your show. Hi, Chris, what's up?
Speaker 1: What's going on? You know, it's good to be here
Speaker 1: again today after when it's a great thing. It's always
Speaker 1: a good feeling to be here and joined by none
Speaker 1: other than my co walker, the man himself, Ah, the
Speaker 1: Great White Hope. As they say, I appreciate you having me.
Speaker 1: Good to have you here, man, welcome in. Thank you.
Speaker 1: We heard a lot about this show. Have you have
Speaker 1: you really? The word spreads I think maybe been on
Speaker 1: from Andrew. Yeah, we've been on a lot of guys.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of guys in our receiver room
Speaker 1: have been on healing. Cole is adamant that he won't
Speaker 1: come on. He walked away from you when you were
Speaker 1: trying to bring him in. Yeah, I probably asked Helan
Speaker 1: probably five different occasions to what she said no and
Speaker 1: just literally walked off from me and not said another
Speaker 1: word the rest of the day. Remember that I was involved.
Speaker 1: That's probably or it might be me. It might just
Speaker 1: be me. So I don't know. We'll find out. We'll
Speaker 1: find out, or we won't. We probably won't. And you
Speaker 1: know what, the sun is gonna come up in the
Speaker 1: east even if he didn't come on the show. That's true,
Speaker 1: that's hope. So let's start with the big news this week,
Speaker 1: the players Association and the letter that came down the
Speaker 1: first time to get in the locker room today to
Speaker 1: hear from you guys. What was your reaction when you
Speaker 1: saw that? Chris? Um, Wow, you guys are really going
Speaker 1: for it today. First question, UM, that is A. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a very tough situation. And Uh, I have
Speaker 1: to be really honestly careful about how I answer this. Um.
Speaker 1: Some of the things in that report are not exactly
Speaker 1: surprising to me. Um, if I'm being completely honest. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, there are instances and and some things that
Speaker 1: that I've seen and and I've talked to people about
Speaker 1: that have gone on in this building that haven't really
Speaker 1: put the relationship between players and people in the best
Speaker 1: light h personally, speaking from what I've seen and from
Speaker 1: what I've heard from people that I've talked to who
Speaker 1: have been here. Uh, And that's not what you want.
Speaker 1: That's not what you want. You don't want the NFL
Speaker 1: A coming in here and discouraging people from coming to
Speaker 1: this team and and it really helping you out. You know,
Speaker 1: free agency and getting talented players in here is is
Speaker 1: really the lifeblood of NFL teams because you know, the draft,
Speaker 1: you can you can get talent in the draft as
Speaker 1: much as you want, but you every good team has
Speaker 1: to have good vets and and free agency is very important.
Speaker 1: You want to get you know, the vets that you
Speaker 1: want who are good for your locker room to come there.
Speaker 1: But those guys are gonna come there if this stuff
Speaker 1: kind of comes out. And so you know, I've had
Speaker 1: conversations with some people, um about that. You know, I
Speaker 1: had conversations with people when I was on my way
Speaker 1: in here, and they warned me about some of the
Speaker 1: things that have gone on, some of the disagreements that
Speaker 1: players have had and things. And and if I get
Speaker 1: asked questions about that, I have to be completely honest
Speaker 1: because my name is attached to any recommendation that I
Speaker 1: make in this league. And I hold that before I
Speaker 1: hold you know, winning games. You know, I want my
Speaker 1: name and my word to be honest before I tell
Speaker 1: somebody something that's untruthful just to get him here to
Speaker 1: win games. And so you know, they're there are relationships
Speaker 1: that need to be mended, and uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: can't really say anything about how things are dealt with.
Speaker 1: You know, that's getting into territory where I kind of
Speaker 1: gotta wrap up my answer to this, but you know
Speaker 1: it's it's a sensitive subject. It is. That's that's the
Speaker 1: big subject. So thank you for answering the question as
Speaker 1: best as I could. Yes, very good. Let's talk a
Speaker 1: little ball now. I will get to your touchdowns in
Speaker 1: a minute. But you're getting some playing time at wide
Speaker 1: receiver these days. You started on the practice squad have
Speaker 1: moved to the active roster now and to get that
Speaker 1: opportunity is huge. Um. How fun is it each week
Speaker 1: to be out there and ready to roll. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's awesome to be out there with people like Chris
Speaker 1: and Keepening and everyone else in the wide receiver room.
Speaker 1: It's it's an honor to be out there, and it's
Speaker 1: gotta keep grinding a little more than just returning kicks
Speaker 1: down to I mean that which which you know, that's
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of guys break in and special teams
Speaker 1: tell us about the kick return game him though for you,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of been It's been my game since
Speaker 1: college started. Microphone ett, thank you, co host started off.
Speaker 1: Actually my freshman year in college started off doing kick
Speaker 1: return and it's kind of just been my kind of
Speaker 1: my little niche I've been doing and I'm happy to
Speaker 1: help out the team here doing that here too, So
Speaker 1: good stuff. Now you also you're part of the famous
Speaker 1: apartment with I got two roommates. I can't even imagine
Speaker 1: the scene over there. But um, you obviously know Gardner
Speaker 1: and he still remains a topic, are you. I guess
Speaker 1: I tell us a little something about him that maybe
Speaker 1: people don't know, uh, that you can share on the
Speaker 1: air without getting me let me see here, Well there
Speaker 1: was handle what he's going to? Yeah, Well, I mean
Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's what everyone sees him as. You know,
Speaker 1: he's never skipped a beat. He's always been the guy.
Speaker 1: He's always coming in here on Monday's doing film. I
Speaker 1: mean I know you guys always hear the same old things.
Speaker 1: But we do have a little funny story that the
Speaker 1: other night we actually had the cops ended up in
Speaker 1: our apartment room. I guess he he he had a
Speaker 1: little night terr or something. He had a little scare.
Speaker 1: Do we uh, I guess do. We might have been
Speaker 1: talking to the sleep I don't know what was going on,
Speaker 1: but he ended up calling the cops because he thought
Speaker 1: he was getting kidnapped or something. So we had four
Speaker 1: cops in our apartment room. Woke up at three thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning, four cops in our room. So, yep,
Speaker 1: it's a story to remember. No, they actually well, they
Speaker 1: recognized him and shook his hand and stuff, and he
Speaker 1: admitted he called the cops. He messed up, but it
Speaker 1: was pretty it's pretty funny story. And it was Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't even look out for us. I had no text,
Speaker 1: no phone call, know nothing from him. He just kind
Speaker 1: of he just called the cops just to protect himself,
Speaker 1: barricaded himself in his room, put his dresser in front
Speaker 1: of the door. He said, I'm not sure where to go.
Speaker 1: Well asked for a story. That's a good one. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that one for a while. All's well,
Speaker 1: although no house, nothing happened, Okay, we're all. He just
Speaker 1: sleep talks. Apparently, he sleep yells. He was saying that
Speaker 1: he was screaming in his sleep, saying like, don't do
Speaker 1: this to me, Like why are you doing this to me?
Speaker 1: He was screaming to the point where Gardner thought there
Speaker 1: was someone in there. And I guess he thought I
Speaker 1: was already dead or something. I don't know. He didn't
Speaker 1: care about me. Yeah, I don't know. It was the
Speaker 1: team psychologists over here, right, we need to get them involved.
Speaker 1: It's been stuff, but it just got a little It
Speaker 1: is interesting. Um. Two touchdowns, two big touchdowns, fourth quarter touchdowns,
Speaker 1: including the game winner with about thirty one seconds to go. Um,
Speaker 1: for everything that had gone on the last month, and
Speaker 1: I have to finally come through getting the end zone
Speaker 1: a bunchet and and and when that football game was
Speaker 1: big for this team. Yeah, you know, UM, I think
Speaker 1: that the biggest thing I took away from this Sunday
Speaker 1: is the difference in the way that the team approached
Speaker 1: the second half this time. Uh. You know, in the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, we've been down going into the
Speaker 1: second half and I sensed more of a feeling of
Speaker 1: of guys, you know, saying, hey, this needs to happen. Uh,
Speaker 1: this needs to happen. This change needs to be make
Speaker 1: you need to do this, This need this and that
Speaker 1: and this and that. And rather than just coming in
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, like I believe in I believe in you,
Speaker 1: I believe in this team. We can do this. Just
Speaker 1: settle in, eliminate mistakes, and let's just go play. And
Speaker 1: that's what happened this weekend. There was more of a
Speaker 1: you know, on offense, we said, hey, the defense is
Speaker 1: playing great, let's just go out there, settle in, eliminate
Speaker 1: the mistakes, and let's just go play. Man, let's just
Speaker 1: go play and we'll get back in this thing. And
Speaker 1: that change in and of itself and allow guys to
Speaker 1: go out there and play freely, not press and we
Speaker 1: got the results that we wanted. Is that something? And
Speaker 1: ipably kind to phrase this, but you've never really been
Speaker 1: through a season like this. Again, the city you had
Speaker 1: success every year. Uh so the teams you were on
Speaker 1: never really had to learn they had to learn how
Speaker 1: to win. Um My, my rookie year, we lost five
Speaker 1: games early in the season and it was a pretty
Speaker 1: low place. And in those games, we lost a number
Speaker 1: of them by three or less points, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: one possession games, and we lost them early at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. And there was a time where
Speaker 1: we came in and we had a team meeting and
Speaker 1: everyone was told to look in the mirror and you know,
Speaker 1: really just evaluate themselves and what they wanted the season
Speaker 1: to be. And we came out, you know, the next week,
Speaker 1: and and we put together a game and we won
Speaker 1: something like the game this weekend, and and we had
Speaker 1: a couple of those games where we just were behind,
Speaker 1: but we found a way, found a way to win,
Speaker 1: and we began to build this confidence and not only confidence,
Speaker 1: but this trust for each other and in the locker
Speaker 1: room to where we rattled off eleven straight wins after that,
Speaker 1: you know, ten in the regular season and then one
Speaker 1: in the postseason. And people will say, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: that was just this great team, and you guys know,
Speaker 1: really the team learned how to win going through those
Speaker 1: adverse times. And I think that's really what this team
Speaker 1: is learning how to do. A majority of the NFL
Speaker 1: games are won by a possession or less, and so
Speaker 1: you have to find a way when you know stuff
Speaker 1: is hitting the fan and when all the chaos is
Speaker 1: going on, to really quiet things down and really go
Speaker 1: back to the fundamentals and not freak out and do
Speaker 1: something differently. And this team is learning how to do
Speaker 1: that right now. All right, this is the time of
Speaker 1: the show where we invite you guys to ask each
Speaker 1: other some questions and well, we don't need another another
Speaker 1: story from the apartment before. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: top that last one, but you got any questions for
Speaker 1: Chris's got to step up at this point. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess you're gonna go surfing today today. I probably won't
Speaker 1: go today. I don't know what the forecast looks like today. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then other that practice tomorrow. I don't like to
Speaker 1: go before we have rough days of practice. Um, because
Speaker 1: although I'm not taxing my legs, I do to surf
Speaker 1: for a very long time. You know, some some surfers
Speaker 1: go out there and they'll do an hour session, hour
Speaker 1: and a half. I probably average three and a half hours,
Speaker 1: three and a half hours out in the water. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I overdo it every time. But um, I think
Speaker 1: that's just me being an endurance athlete. I just kind
Speaker 1: of just stay out there and forget track of time
Speaker 1: getting Are you surfer surfing not just fishing that's just
Speaker 1: a little yeah, no surfing. There's not much surfing on
Speaker 1: the goal. It's pretty pretty flat. We'll get much opportunity,
Speaker 1: maybe a little skinboarding. But so if you had a
Speaker 1: chance here to to get out, you know, That's what
Speaker 1: I was talking to him today to Fish. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've had a chance of fish. It actually brought us
Speaker 1: out all the rookies. We did a little charter. It's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And then I know the nutrition is Steve
Speaker 1: Fish is a good amount. So looking to look with
Speaker 1: him one of these off days too, so very nice,
Speaker 1: love it. What do you got for him? Uh? Michael
Speaker 1: and yeah. In this first year, you've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff gone um on the field, off the field,
Speaker 1: in the building. What have you been able to take
Speaker 1: away from this season the good the bad? Uh, in
Speaker 1: the games, on the field, practice squad to active roster.
Speaker 1: What have you been able to take away? What is
Speaker 1: different about the NFL than what you thought going in? Honestly,
Speaker 1: coming in, Um, I was used to you know, Boston
Speaker 1: College was I don't know, coaches kind of had a
Speaker 1: big I don't know. I don't know how to explain it.
Speaker 1: Coaches were had a lot of control over the players
Speaker 1: obviously in college, and here it was just a little
Speaker 1: it was a little different for me realizing that players
Speaker 1: can kind of, you know, do what they do what
Speaker 1: they want at times, you know what I mean. Coaches
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have to stay over everything the player wants
Speaker 1: to do or can do. And just seeing that here
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that happens all across the league too,
Speaker 1: and just seeing that and in the building and stuff,
Speaker 1: and just understanding that was definitely a big, little difference
Speaker 1: for me from college of the NFL. A little bit
Speaker 1: of an adjustment of being a pro having kind of
Speaker 1: have more take ownership. You gotta be a professional, you
Speaker 1: gotta be a problem. It's all about, yeah, handle stuff
Speaker 1: you're on. Do you see the paion? Can you see
Speaker 1: rookies like Michael So, I mean, is it sort of
Speaker 1: a pattern that they go through in terms of they
Speaker 1: get in their wide eyed and by the end of
Speaker 1: the season, Oh, I get it, the rockie wall, but
Speaker 1: the rookie growth. It's first the rocky wall, for sure.
Speaker 1: I think I think the rookie wall is real, But Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think there there is a pattern and
Speaker 1: and uh that people have to go through coming into
Speaker 1: the league learning, oh, wow, I'm not the best player
Speaker 1: on my team anymore, wondering wow, I might not be
Speaker 1: the best player on the field anymore. But that doesn't
Speaker 1: take away from the fact that I can still affect
Speaker 1: this game. And that's something that you learn over time
Speaker 1: getting out there is your opportunities might be fewer, but
Speaker 1: they are of greater importance. But then also learning how
Speaker 1: to prepare during the week. How do you prepare your mind?
Speaker 1: How do you prepare your body? What steps can I
Speaker 1: take to maximize those small opportunities? Very nice? I like that.
Speaker 1: So what happens the next time Gardner called the what's
Speaker 1: gonna I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell you. Hopefully
Speaker 1: it's not the next time. Hopefully it's not a next time.
Speaker 1: That interesting. That might have been the best story we've had.
Speaker 1: It might be very well might be number one that Michael,
Speaker 1: thank you for coming to appreciate you a walker Jack's
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Chris Connlelly with us eat and every week.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your time and congrats on the touchdowns and the
Speaker 1: wind guys, appreciate it, and let's get Let's get one
Speaker 1: in Atlanta this week. There we go, and then another
Speaker 1: against Dandy the week after that. Bring it off. Let's
Speaker 1: let's just stick with Atlanta. You know you start going
Speaker 1: two weeks down the road. You may always on this.
Speaker 1: We're looking one week at a time. There we go
Speaker 1: back in a moment, players to watch. We have Jimmy

Speaker 1: laundry night, it's got to be Tied. Welcome Back, tag
Speaker 1: Wars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group, JP Shaddick,
Speaker 1: John Osier and that music each week means it's time
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Luck to join his head equipment manager. What's up?
Speaker 1: What's happening? I thought, I like, you had the Tide
Speaker 1: commercial right before I came on. You gotta keep your
Speaker 1: uniforms clean. That's right, Yes, that's right. You don't want
Speaker 1: to do it on Sunday, that's the bit right now. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was the early Monday morning last week, right after
Speaker 1: the long trip back and everything coming across. So all right,
Speaker 1: here's let's go back to Oakland and after the aftermath
Speaker 1: of that football game, the Jacks of One and it's
Speaker 1: starting to descend into a little bit of uneasiness in
Speaker 1: oak Let's say they ended up clearing the field and
Speaker 1: getting all the media people, they wouldn't let them back
Speaker 1: on the field apparently. So for you guys for JAG's
Speaker 1: equipment getting everything going, at what point do you start
Speaker 1: putting things away and getting them out of there and
Speaker 1: getting just in case whole hell breaks. Um. Well, we
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a plan in place, um
Speaker 1: to possibly start moving some things early, um off the sideline,
Speaker 1: and we did, and we sent a few things from
Speaker 1: the locker room too, because a lot of logistics there
Speaker 1: at Oakland is this isn't the greatest you have the elevator.
Speaker 1: You gotta go up and down, you can't you know,
Speaker 1: there's no ramps or anything, and it's kind of a pain.
Speaker 1: So with about I guess right before, right before Derek
Speaker 1: Carr slid for the clock stoppage, UM, I said, okay,
Speaker 1: that's I think that's it. Go ahead, And I had
Speaker 1: some trunks inside. I told the guys go ahead and
Speaker 1: take them out to the truck. Um. George, one of
Speaker 1: my assistance is on the field. He's sending some stuff up, um,
Speaker 1: you know, just to get it out of there's things
Speaker 1: that were easier so that somebody just couldn't run by
Speaker 1: and grab it and run off. So he's sending a
Speaker 1: few things up and then uh, next you know, we
Speaker 1: get the ball and we started driving and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, we better not kick a field goal
Speaker 1: here and go to overtime, and George's thinking the same
Speaker 1: exact thing on the field, and then when we scored,
Speaker 1: it was like, okay, good, like all right, field goal,
Speaker 1: Like no overtime. It's either yeah or nay here now.
Speaker 1: So but then obviously we won and it was great,
Speaker 1: and things did get a little crazy down there on
Speaker 1: the sideline packing up. Um. I think one of the
Speaker 1: guys that was helping with the headsets got hit with
Speaker 1: a water bottle, and then I think that was when
Speaker 1: our guy said, okay, that's it, we're done, and they
Speaker 1: finished up and then ran off got out of there.
Speaker 1: But to have stuff maybe a little yeah, we did, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was a few things. Yeah, So and then getting
Speaker 1: out there as a hurt, he was trying to call Joe.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Joe, you're ready, We're trying to get out
Speaker 1: of here. He was still on the air. I think,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. It was just kind of because
Speaker 1: it was a couple of years ago. We almost left
Speaker 1: Joe before. Getting in and out of that press box
Speaker 1: is a different thing then it is the most stadiums
Speaker 1: because there's always a line of the press box. It's
Speaker 1: invariably you're waiting, and then you know, it's it's a
Speaker 1: tricky state. And there's a reason that it's older. Nine
Speaker 1: sixty six that place open. And then I don't think
Speaker 1: they've touched it since nineteen sixty six. It's the last
Speaker 1: time I was out there. They added the seats on
Speaker 1: Mountain Davis and that's probably about it. Let's get to
Speaker 1: this week. This is your old place. So going to Atlanta,
Speaker 1: I mean the team goes to Atlanta a lot for
Speaker 1: preseason games, but um, the regular season game, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you'll see some old friends on the side of yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see some old people up there that I just
Speaker 1: hang out with, trying to see some family and stuff.
Speaker 1: Kind of in and out quick though. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: we get there late afternoon and then we're out of
Speaker 1: there right after the game, so not a whole lot
Speaker 1: of time to spend, but you know, we get to
Speaker 1: see some folks Hello, So it works in man, it's
Speaker 1: within worse than having to see people you know on
Speaker 1: the road. It's awful. You're you're a social butterfly, John,
Speaker 1: I really tell you. You get around. Let's take a
Speaker 1: look at what the Jaguars will wear this week against
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons in week sixteen. So we're on the
Speaker 1: road obviously, so we're gonna go with the white we got,
Speaker 1: uh Josh Dobbs here, he's from Atlanta, Alpharetta, number number one,
Speaker 1: number one, number one. And they told you all about
Speaker 1: being number one last week in Oakland, didn't. We saw
Speaker 1: that quite a few times. Okay, what you got? And
Speaker 1: then for the pants, we're gonna go with the teal pants.
Speaker 1: Look at that look curve ball so white, George. People
Speaker 1: have been finally clamoring for that, and is that the
Speaker 1: first combination of this this season? The first time the
Speaker 1: teal pants? Okay, and um, my phone may have a
Speaker 1: message when I get back, but that's where we're going with.
Speaker 1: If it changes, let's take it to the man. No,
Speaker 1: that's not, that's not that's totally a joke there love um,
Speaker 1: but now we've been been kind of wanting that all year.

Speaker 1: the Fields Auto Group, JP Gadrick, John Olerjan We've got
Speaker 1: a show today. Oh good when yes, I had a
Speaker 1: good show. Chris Connelly and Mike Walker was great with
Speaker 1: a great story of working his way onto this roster
Speaker 1: from the practice squad. And we have to find what's
Speaker 1: going on in that apartment that is that's something else
Speaker 1: that he just became my player to watch. That's really
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Yeah, let's hear from some guys in the
Speaker 1: locker room today, and you know it's it's the first
Speaker 1: time we've had a chance to go in the locker
Speaker 1: room to hear from some of the players. After the
Speaker 1: NFL p A put that letter out the other day,
Speaker 1: I had a chance to sit down with Abrey Jones,
Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive tackle, and here's what he had to say,
Speaker 1: I know why we would do something like that when
Speaker 1: it's clearly in the rules and things like that. And
Speaker 1: then especially you know, guys really loved the all season time.
Speaker 1: I want to get back to see family and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So obviously, I don't know how you do
Speaker 1: something like that, and I think it's not gonna come
Speaker 1: back on you, especially when and then you're taking money
Speaker 1: out of somebody's pocket and things like that. So that
Speaker 1: just confuses me. While we would do things backwards when
Speaker 1: we're trying to show that, you know, we're a good organization,
Speaker 1: we take care of our players and things like that.
Speaker 1: And secondly, that's just not a I feel like it's
Speaker 1: not a good look for our team. I mean, you
Speaker 1: look about how this year it's gone. It's been a
Speaker 1: very disappointed year. And then the one way to get
Speaker 1: better is to bring people in. That one way is
Speaker 1: to draft, but it was mostly rookies and some Brookies
Speaker 1: have with media impact, you know, things like that. But
Speaker 1: another way is to bring in top free agents. And
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how many free agents will
Speaker 1: see that and still think Jacksonville is attractive place to
Speaker 1: go to it. I mean, on top of we've been losing.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been losing. That just happened. I mean,
Speaker 1: I really don't know what else we really got to
Speaker 1: offer besides no state tax. So hopefully to the outside
Speaker 1: world other players they know that the front office recognized
Speaker 1: their mistake. We're gonna correcting as players here, we knew
Speaker 1: nothing about it. There's a definitely no we got a
Speaker 1: type of players this. I'm not gonna stand back and
Speaker 1: let another player be fine for you know, for some
Speaker 1: nonsense things like that. So we know about it and
Speaker 1: we're gonna be more on top of it in the future.
Speaker 1: Abery Jones with a real in depth answer to that
Speaker 1: question today, sat down with him the exclusive there on
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, and he'll pretty much tell you how
Speaker 1: he sees it. He's not gonna hold any punches. Well,
Speaker 1: and what Chris said, what a city is that? Right?
Speaker 1: You know, whatever's gone on, whatever has happening moving forward,
Speaker 1: the perception of that has to change, the reality of
Speaker 1: it has to change. And you you can't have the
Speaker 1: league and players in the league believing that's what this is.
Speaker 1: So um, it's something that I'm sure shod Khan is
Speaker 1: strongly considering what he's going to do after the season
Speaker 1: and how the tone is going to be set. I
Speaker 1: don't know what is going to happen with the higher ups.
Speaker 1: Only Shot Kan knows that. I think it's obvious that
Speaker 1: would be considering when when every decision is gonna get made,
Speaker 1: and realistically we have to wait probably ten days before
Speaker 1: we find out. I would expect this topic to be
Speaker 1: a major topic the next time Shot speaks, and I
Speaker 1: wish I had more insight into what was going to happen,
Speaker 1: but I think there's probably only a few people who
Speaker 1: do know, and time will tell. But there's no question
Speaker 1: that the last sentence of the nflp A thing when
Speaker 1: they cautioned players and they say you should consider this.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't necessarily know. Uh. People have asked
Speaker 1: me was it appropriate for the nfl p A to
Speaker 1: do this, So yeah, I don't know. I know it's unusual,
Speaker 1: But the reality is, at some point they felt there
Speaker 1: was more of an issue in Jacksonville. Then they felt
Speaker 1: like there wasn't it at other teams. So whatever the
Speaker 1: story is, whatever happened in this case, unfortunately, perception will
Speaker 1: be reality and a lot of players and it's up
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars to somehow change that perception or else.
Speaker 1: Free agent is gonna be tough, all right, jaguarris and
Speaker 1: the foul. It's coming up this week the Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: with the same exact record five and nine, the Jags
Speaker 1: going on the road one more time in nineteen. Let's
Speaker 1: get our players to watch for this game. I'll start off,
Speaker 1: why not Cam Robinson left tackle. I had a bit
Speaker 1: of a struggle in the first half in last week's game,
Speaker 1: and then second half this offense finally got something going.
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of pass rushers in Atlanta, like
Speaker 1: Beasley is one of those guys, and Cam's gotta have
Speaker 1: I think a better overall consistent game from start to finish.
Speaker 1: He didn't have that last week, if you know, especially
Speaker 1: if they're gonna have to pass too to get back
Speaker 1: in games and do all that. So for me, Cam
Speaker 1: Robinson on the offensive side, you know there's questions now.
Speaker 1: You know you gotta get big people on the offensive
Speaker 1: line in the future for this team. Well, is that
Speaker 1: a left tackle at some point? And we talked on
Speaker 1: Monday night on on this program with the Prisco and Boselli,
Speaker 1: do you do you move him around and put him
Speaker 1: in the interior or something like that. If you're talking
Speaker 1: like that, then things from not going exceptionally well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been Uh, I've read about Robinson in the ozone
Speaker 1: quite a bit this season, people asking he's not playing
Speaker 1: as well as you want him to, And I think
Speaker 1: what will have to be gleaned And I excuse me,
Speaker 1: I doubt he will say this, but in the off
Speaker 1: season conversations and and uh, with doctors left to be gleaned.
Speaker 1: How much of it was knee the after effects of that.
Speaker 1: It's always tough, toughest the first year after an a
Speaker 1: c L. He's been on the injury report with a
Speaker 1: knee injury. It has looked at times like he's favoring it.
Speaker 1: How much of it is that when that gets a
Speaker 1: percent right sometimes takes You can get back on the
Speaker 1: field in a year with an a c L, but
Speaker 1: it sometimes takes longer than that to be right. That
Speaker 1: needs to be determined. How much of this is after effects?
Speaker 1: How how good can he be um because that's a
Speaker 1: huge obviously a huge position, but you don't want to
Speaker 1: give up on him too soon if it's knee related.
Speaker 1: Uh So, I think that has to be a major
Speaker 1: or offseason issue of you know, where is he how
Speaker 1: much was the knee? What can he be moving forward?
Speaker 1: Is a huge topic defensively for me, Unique and Goquay.
Speaker 1: He had a big game last week, five tackles, two sacks,
Speaker 1: four tackles for loss, good all around game for Unique
Speaker 1: and Gockway. You know what I mean. He's he's been
Speaker 1: healthy this year. He's playing for that contract coming up
Speaker 1: in the off season wherever that is, and hopefully it's here.
Speaker 1: We'll see. Um it's a huge couple of weeks for
Speaker 1: him to finish up strong. UM, get some more numbers. Really,
Speaker 1: they'll be quite frank with you, and then stay healthy
Speaker 1: and go into this offseason. So for me, Unique and
Speaker 1: Gockway is starting to to really come uh into at
Speaker 1: the end of the season, really starting to make his
Speaker 1: his case, not that he didn't already, but I think
Speaker 1: a really stronger case for what he wants. It's a
Speaker 1: tough year for a guy like Unique because he is
Speaker 1: a sack guy first, and when you trail as much
Speaker 1: as this team has, there's there's not many opportunities for that.
Speaker 1: For I'm kind of a broken record on this. For
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and you can get a way to have
Speaker 1: combined for eighteen considering you had five straight games where
Speaker 1: you're losing by seventeen. There's been a lot of games,
Speaker 1: you know, if if you count Um this game the
Speaker 1: other day and the Denver game, some of their wins
Speaker 1: even they've only led late in the game, so teams
Speaker 1: really aren't having to pass against him for you need
Speaker 1: to have eight sacks, and the impact he's had, he's
Speaker 1: had a really good year. If it was turned around
Speaker 1: and they were leading, and if you reverse that, he'd
Speaker 1: probably have thirteen or fourteen sacks. So good year, I'm
Speaker 1: sure from his perspective. Get one in East's last two
Speaker 1: games and get to double digits, and you kind of
Speaker 1: put this season in the category of, Okay, not my
Speaker 1: best year statistics wise, but you know, got the ten sacks,
Speaker 1: had a good year. Let's move on. I think he'll
Speaker 1: be with the team next year, either under the tag
Speaker 1: or Um signed to a new deal. The challenge will
Speaker 1: continue to be how you use unique, what scheme you're
Speaker 1: going to play to get the most out of him.
Speaker 1: Is he a true defensive end in most schemes? Could
Speaker 1: you get more out of him? And Josh Allen as
Speaker 1: more hybrid backers and a three four. Uh. We won't
Speaker 1: know that until direction the franchise is determined, but UH,
Speaker 1: they need to figure out some way to keep him
Speaker 1: use his talent, even if it's not at the exact
Speaker 1: position they're using him now. Cam Robinson unique Conock with
Speaker 1: my two players to watch, John, who you got this week?
Speaker 1: I believe I had the two safeties Jared Wilson and
Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison. I don't know that this is the obvious
Speaker 1: matchup that it was last week for these guys. Waller's
Speaker 1: obviously a huge name with the Raiders tighten. I mean
Speaker 1: the Falcons at really have that level of tight end.
Speaker 1: But it was clear in the first half last week
Speaker 1: that the Raiders we're going after the safeties, and they
Speaker 1: did anyone to Trey Hernton too. They went for the secondary,
Speaker 1: but the safety struggled in that game early, seemed to
Speaker 1: get better late. Uh. Safety is a position that has
Speaker 1: been up and down for the Jaguars this season. So
Speaker 1: I think based on the tape last week, I'm sure
Speaker 1: the Falcons Matt Ryan's capable of going after whoever he
Speaker 1: wants to, so I'm sure they'll go after the safeties
Speaker 1: in this game. It will be a big game for them, Alright,
Speaker 1: safeties on defense there and offensively, you're going to a
Speaker 1: guy who wasn't playing last week. Yeah, and uh, it's
Speaker 1: really a way to talk about the entire receiving group.
Speaker 1: They're obviously better with DJ Chark in the field. Those
Speaker 1: impressive last week that Chris Conley in a game where
Speaker 1: he was needed to step up, Chark wasn't there. Did
Speaker 1: what they paid him in the off season. He came in,
Speaker 1: he had a couple of big catches Chris, So I
Speaker 1: didn't really want to use in this category. They've gotten
Speaker 1: their money's worth in Chris com Yeah. You obviously. I
Speaker 1: think he has four touchdown passes or four time reception
Speaker 1: about seven yards. Uh. If Chart gets back in, he
Speaker 1: gives them the element that they don't have without, which
Speaker 1: is a big play element somehow. The Jay Wars need
Speaker 1: to score this week and M I say score, I
Speaker 1: mean get to four, not to be coming from behind.
Speaker 1: Charts still their hope to do that, charts their hope
Speaker 1: to get leads. What do you mean nice to have
Speaker 1: a lead? JP? It would when's the last lead? New
Speaker 1: York The Jets, I mean, there was like a three
Speaker 1: three nothing or something the last time you felt like, Okay,
Speaker 1: they're in control of this game. That Chark is the
Speaker 1: key for them if he plays to be able to
Speaker 1: get control. He's a dynamic playmaker. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: necessary team that's going to string together four or five
Speaker 1: long touchdown drives in a game they did last week late.
Speaker 1: But overall this Falcon's even just playing really well. Dj
Speaker 1: is the kind of guy who can turn a couple
Speaker 1: of plays into points and get them to lead early.
Speaker 1: All Right, You've got the safeties Harrison Wilson and d
Speaker 1: J Chark Jr. I've got Cam Robinson and Unique and
Speaker 1: got wits a lot watch in week sixteen, the Jags
Speaker 1: and the Falcons coming up our thanks to our guests,
Speaker 1: our co host Chris Conley, Michael Walker, Jaguars wide receiver,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck, head equipment manager. Uh you too, John. I
Speaker 1: hope Michael Walker gets some sleep then, so too for
Speaker 1: the whole apartment there apartment's sake for everyone involved. I'm
Speaker 1: j P shattered. Thank you for watching. Well, I'll catch
Speaker 1: you next time. Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields
