WEBVTT - Jaguars Happy Hour: Wednesday, September 23 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:12.680 It is Wednesday, September. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. Jaguars 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.319 Happy Hours presented by the Fields Out a group and 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.440 now a guy who's having a friendly battle with Todd 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:26.320 Wash for the best head of hair. J Pce Shadrick. 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.520 I don't have any choice in the matter. He might 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.680 welcome in its Jaguars Happy Hour. Daky Shadrick with you, 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:36.159 Bucky Brooks, John O's are coming up. We've got a 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.199 busy program ahead as we get ready for Thursday Night 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:43.360 Football tomorrow, the Dolphins and the Jaguars a Sunshine State 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.160 showdown on Thursday Night Football tomorrow. We'll get into the game. 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.239 The offense is spreading the wealth. They're off to a 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:54.560 fantastic start. They're scoring a lot of points. That's good news. 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.000 The defense has been a little slow starting games. How 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.480 do they work themselves out of that trend? To begin 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.960 the season, We'll get a scouts view from Bucky Brooks 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.720 and a couple of key contributors. Will play Big Game 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.320 Jaguar yet again and pick our Jaguars to have a 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.640 big game. Jimmy Luck will join us. The uniforms have 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.000 been unveiled already, but he will show them to us. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:20.040 As he always does in this program on Wednesdays, Bucky Brooks, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.280 John O's you're joining us now, Bucky. What's going on 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.440 with you? Hey man? It's all good looking forward to 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.600 this a Thursday night battle. Jaguars gonna view him the 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:34.640 national stage. That's that's applause worthy. It is, and and 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.240 so what they've been so far, at least they've been 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.960 national stage worthy, and certainly on the offensive side, John, 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:46.360 I could get used to these short weeks. I'll tell you, yeah, 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:52.360 I don't mind him. I mean I from a football standpoint, though, Uh, 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.840 I guess the older I get and more players I 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.840 talked to, I would just as soon do away with 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.400 the whole concept. From a football standpoint, I think it's 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.040 really hard in the players. There was no practice this week. Um. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.200 But at the same time, as a fan, I sort 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.799 of look forward to tuning in every Thursday. So I 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.720 guess you gotta take one for the team every now 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.520 and then and be on these Thursday night games. A right. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.359 It happens once a year for every team, but pretty 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.799 much every team in the National Football League, and as 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.880 of late, it's been really the only prime time game 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.960 for the Jaguars in every season. The last time he's 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.600 not playing Tennessee this year. That's true. It's always come 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.760 on Jaguars special early in the season. It feels like 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.280 now we've got a Dolphins Jaguars matchup. Let's get to 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.120 the injury report today. We'll get into the game coming up. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.560 But some good news today for the tight end room. 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:47.000 Tyler Davis practiced full today. He was limited Monday and Tuesday. 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.359 He had been out with any issue the first couple 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.000 of weeks. The rookie tied in from Georgia Tech. We'll 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.400 see what kind of contribution he could make if he's 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.000 up an available. Brandon Watson went full today. He had 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:02.400 not practiced a Monday or Tuesday. The reserve safety DJ Chark, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.160 though it was limited Monday and Tuesday with a chest 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.320 slash back issue and did not practice today. He's questionable 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.239 for the game. Josh Lambo's ruled out for the game 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.240 officially on Thursday night, so they'll have to make a 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.680 move at kicker, and Brandon Linder has not practiced, he 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.000 has ruled out for the game, and John those are 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.040 some notable names. They're starting center the kicker and d 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.560 J Charts questionable. That's huge Yeah, huge newsday on the 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.680 injury report. Brandon Right, a rookie from Georgia State, will 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.960 kick for the Jaguars tomorrow. For fans who don't know him, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.480 he's a punter and a kicker. Doug Marone just talked 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.400 about him on a conference call, said his confidence level 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.520 is high. And Tyler Shatley, as I think everybody knew, 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.520 we'll start for Brandon later at center. That's felt sort 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.640 of expected all week. Hard to tell what's gonna happen 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.640 with DJ. They said they're being cautious. Uh, didn't get 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.360 a great vibe. But on Thursday nights, as you can 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.680 talk to later on Thursday games, so much happens in 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.119 terms of recovery for probable or questionable guys. But he'll 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.720 probably be a game time decision. Josh Lambo though he's 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.840 gonna go on i R, which means he's out at 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.479 least three weeks with a hip injury. UM. I'm usually 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:22.200 somebody who thinks, okay, a injury in the short term 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.479 in this league, usually you can overcome it quickly. Kicker 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.840 as good as this guy has been, it's gonna be 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.760 something to watch big time on Thursday, no doubt. Bucky. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.680 These are big games on the injury report that are 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.360 out for a Thursday night national game. Yeah, big games. 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.040 But this is kind of the stage of the NFL 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.080 right now. Everyone is having to really dig deep fun 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.120 guys that are backups that are ready to play. And 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.800 so when you're talking about the Jaguars, the youngest team 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.760 in the National Football League, you're just gonna have to 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.719 count on some other people to step up and be 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.359 able to stand in there and really thriving these roles 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.040 that may have been thrust upon them when they were unexpected. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.080 So we'll we'll keep a close watch close to game 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.600 time when the enactors are announced tomorrow, about an hour 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.040 and a half before kickoff, to see what DJ Chart's 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.400 status is for the game. Though. Let's let's quickly wrap 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.560 last week's game. The Jaguars and the Titans in Week two, 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.520 and this was another pretty good offensive day. I mean, 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.520 they're averaging eight and a half points per games so far. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.200 It's tied for eighth in the league, tied for fourth 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.080 in the a f C with the Chiefs. Minshew led 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.560 the charge in the second half of those three touchdown 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.080 drives to get the game back tied again. The running 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.240 game was fantastic again with James Robinson, so so Bucky 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.520 is a lot of the same. They're spreading the ball around, 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.360 they can run the football, and you know, if they 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.839 weren't down two scores to begin with, you might see 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.039 a little bit more from the offense. But they're having 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.800 a club back in games. But so far they've been 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.920 able to do that a couple of times this season. Bucky, Yeah, 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.960 so far, the positive has been about governments, you playing 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.120 really well. He didn't know how quickly he would pick 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.480 up Jake Gruten's offense. That has obviously worked out. They're 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.080 converting that we saw at ten for fourteen on third down. Man, 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.400 you're talking about operating at a very efficient clip. James 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.320 Robinson gives a quiet one hundred yard game, like if 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.159 you didn't really watch the game, you wouldn't even since 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.719 that he had a hundred yards. And so that's positively 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.800 one thing that stands out, and it's one of the 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.919 reasons why they lost the two turnovers. Typically, when you 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.000 lose the turnover battle by plus two, you're talking about 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.560 it's a it's a seventy five percent win rate. When 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.839 you win the turnover battle by plus two. The Jaguars 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.840 can't give the ball away. The march for air is 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.480 really thin, especially with the defense not playing at a 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.920 high level. Yeah, John, those two interceptions were to, um, 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.360 you know, just mis calculate. Well, the person was tipped 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.520 by Colin Johnson who's six ft six and didn't he 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.040 thought the ball was coming to him. Was supposed to 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.200 go to a Shaughnessy. And the last one, um, well, 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.919 Clowney was lined up off side, but that's beside the 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.360 point and it was at the line. So it does. 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:08.320 But to to tip ball interceptions unfortunate. Yeah, I didn't 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.720 know you could do that. Jp. If I had known that, 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.000 I would have had the receivers about fifteen yards down 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.320 field to start, because that would have maybe even things out, 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.040 I think a huge thing. Uh. And I really haven't 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.000 had time to study this that much because it was 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.720 a short week. The third down conversions that Bucky talked about, 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.520 it's huge, Jon Gruden, I mean, I'm sorry, Jay grud 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:28.640 and I knew I was gonna do at some point 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.360 this season. Jay Gruden talked about that this week as 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.920 being to the offense ten of fourteen. If they were 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.720 converting less, they'd be scoring about half that much. My senses, 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.640 without really going back and studying it, James Robinson gets 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.120 more out of early down carries than I think Leonard 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.240 four Nette did. With James Robinson, he gets three or 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.640 four yards, he gets whatever is there. Sometimes four Nett 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.320 would only get a yard or two, maybe doing a 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.280 little bit too much dancing. My sense is that they're 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.880 being helped by better down and distant and that that's 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.720 causing them to be able to convert a lot better, 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.080 cheesier to convert third and three and third and seven. 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.280 I don't know if Bucky's seen that or not, but 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:12.840 I think his efficient running style helps them overall. Maybe 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.680 in a hidden stat in that sense, Yeah, there's a 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.040 hidden stat And part of it is the thread of 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.720 James Robinson because he has been very effective. The one 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.160 thing that Jay Gruten has done, Garna Missue has been 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.200 excellent off play action third team for seventeen every nine 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.679 point nine yards per attempt, three touchdowns and a passer 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.440 raiding go on six when he throws off play action 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.079 and so on early downs. When they line up in 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.680 the eye and they fake to James Robinson pull it out, 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.080 they're now putting themselves in situations where it is second 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.640 and short very manageable situations, and part of being successful 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.200 on third down is putting yourself in a position to 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.320 have those manageable third downs. On first and second down, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.560 the Jaguars have really done a good job of kind 0:08:55.559 --> 0:09:01.040 of playing, uh, playing the game in that manner. Offensive 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:02.960 line has a lot to do with that too, guys. 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.880 Of course, they're they're playing very well, at least early 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.120 in this season, getting that push up front with the 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.760 veteran group for the most part they'll have and even 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.400 when Shatley came in last week in the third quarter, 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:18.400 they still ran the ball effectively behind Shatley to Bucky. Yeah. 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.839 Now they've been able to run the ball very, very effectively, 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.920 and I think that's been one of the things that you, 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.880 Doug Maron, you, Jake Ruten, you feel very encouraged about 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.200 because you didn't know what this offensive line and what 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.920 this unit was going to do because of like didn't 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.439 have the full compliment of the off season. But it's 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.800 been very impressive to watch them run the ball, run 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.959 the ball when everyone in stadium knows they have to 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.920 run the ball. That's very very critical, and so James 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.360 Robinson looks like a fine but this offensive line looks 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.680 like they have the capability of being able to push 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.160 people off the ball. That bowls will for the Jaguars 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.560 going down the stretch, and John the entire Jaguar's brass 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:58.600 called it. Yes, Yeah, remember the whole tanking thing. Remember 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:03.319 tanking for Trevor ten days ago? Ten days ago. If 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.920 you looked at it, and I missed it a little bit, 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.480 but if you really looked at it, the interior of 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.000 the offensive line, the way they approached it should have 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.600 been enough to tell everybody that the whole tanking fame 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.520 was ridiculous. They brought back Norwell, who would have cost 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.200 him a little bit on the cap, but they could 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.920 have gotten rid of him if they were tanking. Lender 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.560 was a dead swap in terms of his cap space. 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.760 If they were tanking, you get rid of him. If 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.640 they're tanking, you sure don't bring back a six year 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.400 veteran to be your swing guard swain center like they 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.760 did with Shatley. Now they're they're benefiting from that, now 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.640 they have experienced to go in its center. This team 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.520 wanted to win, and they kept telling us all off season, 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.080 the offensive line is going to be better. The offensive 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.080 line is a big reason why the key to that 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.520 whole tanking bs was the fact that they were bringing 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.720 back an experienced offensive line, and Tyler Shatley is maybe 0:10:53.720 --> 0:11:01.880 an example of that about the tanking thing. Yeah, now, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.600 look at it's been. It's been a pleasant surprise to 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.040 see the Jaguars not only compete, but to win games. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.000 I think we could make a solid case that they 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.920 could be and maybe should be tun Oh at this mark. 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.400 And that's why the game Thursday night is really really important, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.560 because it's important for them to go to tun one 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:23.679 to just kind of legitimize what Doug Marone, Dave Colwill 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.680 and everyone is doing because look, on the outside, everyone 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.439 was saying this team has given up. They they've waived 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.720 the white flag. They're waiting for next year to find 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.520 their quarterback of the future. If they get out to 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.880 a start where they're at two in one and will 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.400 position to possibly go three and one, I think it 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.400 changes that. But it also gives more confidence to the 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.959 people in the locker room because then the guys may 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.480 begin to believe that a we may have a shot 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.120 to do something that no one thought that we could 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:50.439 be able to do, and that's really compete for a 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:56.920 playoffs spot tune one going into the many body. But yeah, 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.160 that's where we are. That's where we are going into 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.440 Thursday night football and have a chance to be two 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.400 and one and then going to the Mini buy and 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.319 then to Cincinnati next week. So we've got putty ahead 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.080 on the Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.480 Will come back and get into the Jaguars defense and 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.720 how they can start a little bit faster defensively it 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.720 has not been the case the first two weeks of 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.679 the season.

Shadrick, John Osier, and Jacksonville 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.400 Buckey brooks out in California. The Jags and the Dolphins 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.800 coming up on Thursday Night Football tomorrow night at t 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.480 I A A Bank Field, A chance for the Jags 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:28.400 to move to two and one and then have a 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.120 nice weekend to think about that and get ready for 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.640 Cincinnati in Week four. But before we move on to 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:39.120 the Jags defense, Buckey, what what stands out about the 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:43.160 Dolphins defense so far that the Jags offense would have 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.160 to What what scares you about the Dolphins defense? If anything, 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.880 the Dolphins will the Dolphins will play a ton of 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.840 man to man coverage. UM. This is where Brian Floores 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.960 believes in coming from the New England school, they play 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.320 a lot of Uh, nose and nose, challenge the guys 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.200 at the line of scrimmage and see if they can 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.080 get off the line. And so for the Jaguars, I 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.480 think the trick is can those guys win in the 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.280 line of scrimmage? When I looked at the Dolphins and 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.040 I looked at their numbers, uh, garnaments she has been 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.000 really good on quick game uh so and passes under 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.960 two point five seconds. Uh. The Dolphins are holding people 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.840 towards sixty four percent completion rate and a seventy three 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.880 point nine passer rating. And so if we're trying to 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.880 get those rhythm throws that we've been able to see 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.400 Garna minsh you do early in the game, those meant 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.000 that be available. So what is the counter that j 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.600 Gruen comes up with to take care of the man 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.480 to man covers that the Dolphins will employ big Obviously John, 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.280 if DJ is not available, that that deep threat that 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.080 he presents might not be around for this Jags offense. Yeah, 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.600 you wonder if it's a case where flour Is says, 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.520 you know what, I'm going to go strength on strength, 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.600 Meaning if you really scout back to last year and 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.840 watch this Jaguars team, you know that mins she is 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.200 very good on that touch deep ball. He showed it 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.480 again during training camp. He's really good on it to chart. 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.680 So if he's not there, it's it's a little bit 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.200 of a blow. But Channat can do that too, and 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:08.479 Keelan Cole can get deep. So and waiting Okay, this 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.000 year for minshow is sort of not on cork because 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:12.680 that's not what he does. But for him to hit 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.840 those touch passes down the sidelines we all saw in 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.600 training camp. My guess is from what little I know 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.160 about floor is he's not going to back off man 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.000 to man. He's gonna make them beat you deep Minshew 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:27.240 can do it? Can you do it without chart? We'll see. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.720 We'll find out to come in active time tomorrow night. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.080 Let's slip it around to the Jags defense now, and 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.520 for two straight weeks, the opening drive has carved up 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.240 this Jaguars defense, going right down the field for a touchdown. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.520 Last week, the first two drives for Tennessee did it. 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.520 Both drives were inside of two minutes of game time 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:50.800 elapsed UM, respectively, and it was fourteen zip right out 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:55.080 of the gates. Lucky. It's a you can't continue with 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.119 that trend. Obviously, getting in a hole is is awful, 0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:59.920 and they were fortunate to climb back out of that 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.439 whole last week. Tie the game light, but fourteen nothing 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.080 is not gonna get you too far. How do you 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.080 how do you slow that trend down? You know? I 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.199 think what tyd Watch has now, he says, two games 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.480 of film to look at and kind of determine what 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.560 are the things that we do really really well. John 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.520 brought up an interesting point when you talked about playing 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.960 strength on strength. I think this is a game where 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.600 you look at what the Dolphins do. But I think 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.760 because it's such a short week, you have to build 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.080 a game plan off what you do really well. And 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.080 so if Tyd watched looks at the tape, you may 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.760 discover that, Okay, be pressure pretty good at times. Maybe 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.680 we need to dial up a little more pressure early 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.959 in the game. Get Miles Jack involved. Hopefully he can 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:40.239 be an impact player to compliment Josh Allen. Maybe our 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.119 young guys can hold up, because when I look at 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.400 their wide receiver corps, you have DeVante Parker, but it's 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:49.359 not necessarily the same threats that um the Jaguars have 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:53.360 faced early on. So maybe a little more aggressive aggressiveness 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.320 to try and see if the Jaguars can dictate the 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.960 terms to create more long yard is third down situations 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:03.480 where they can pretend to be fair better. John, I 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.720 know you asked Todd about the blitzing and this week 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.280 and when to blitz, how to blitz. Fans are clamoring 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.199 for the blitz is the popular thing to do on 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.280 video games and all that, but it's not as easy 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:19.480 in reality. Well, the reality is, you know every time 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.600 in NFL history, JP, I look this up. Every time 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.760 in NFL history that an opponent has completed a pass, 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:31.320 the defensive coordinator should have blitz. According to fans, it's 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.520 it's perceived as all. It's not the end all, especially 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.760 in this defense, And I think Todd made a great 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.679 point this week. If you're going to blitz and you 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.480 know they're in max protect and you're just sort of 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.760 beating your head against you all, then you're putting yourself 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.400 in a position to fail. They're not gonna blitz every time, 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.880 but I do think if they continue to get the 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.040 lack of pressure they have in the first couple of games, 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.720 they're gonna have to blitz more than they're comfortable with. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.080 There maybe some feast or famine in the past that 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.200 was really dangerous for this defense, because there was a 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.280 feeling in the last two years jp you saw them 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.960 all that if this team got behind, it was dead. 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.080 Well this year with this offense, I'm not so sure 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:15.120 that that's the case. So blitzing, even though you're giving 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.080 up stuff on the back end, may not be out 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:19.640 of the question. But the early game stuff has been 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.560 going back even to the Colts game. Remember they got 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:25.280 rolled on the first series and got rolled down to 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.440 the three on this on the second series. This team 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.919 has to start faster. They've got to get off the 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.680 field quicker early in the game. They only led five 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:40.000 minutes of this season. You can't win games consistently doing that. Yeah, 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.920 that's that's not a good stat at all. Certainly, it's 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:44.960 you gotta you gotta get that lead somehow and play 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.760 with the lead. We haven't seen that much this year now, 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.280 we haven't. We haven't seen that. And John brings up 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.000 a point it's hard to climb out of holes consistently, 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:57.560 and what typically has happened UH coach Washers had the 0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.879 change is styled a little bit. Had to ratchet up 0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:03.000 to pressure, and I think all fans should understand that 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.359 when you're calling blisses and the bliss is just a 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:09.239 five man or more pressure, what you're trying to do 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.080 is really create one on one situations for your best 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.439 pass rushers to be able to get home. It's not 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:17.600 necessarily designed for the blitzer to get a clean run 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.560
