Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, September. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hours presented by the Fields Out a group and
Speaker 1: now a guy who's having a friendly battle with Todd
Speaker 1: Wash for the best head of hair. J Pce Shadrick.
Speaker 1: I don't have any choice in the matter. He might
Speaker 1: welcome in its Jaguars Happy Hour. Daky Shadrick with you,
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, John O's are coming up. We've got a
Speaker 1: busy program ahead as we get ready for Thursday Night
Speaker 1: Football tomorrow, the Dolphins and the Jaguars a Sunshine State
Speaker 1: showdown on Thursday Night Football tomorrow. We'll get into the game.
Speaker 1: The offense is spreading the wealth. They're off to a
Speaker 1: fantastic start. They're scoring a lot of points. That's good news.
Speaker 1: The defense has been a little slow starting games. How
Speaker 1: do they work themselves out of that trend? To begin
Speaker 1: the season, We'll get a scouts view from Bucky Brooks
Speaker 1: and a couple of key contributors. Will play Big Game
Speaker 1: Jaguar yet again and pick our Jaguars to have a
Speaker 1: big game. Jimmy Luck will join us. The uniforms have
Speaker 1: been unveiled already, but he will show them to us.
Speaker 1: As he always does in this program on Wednesdays, Bucky Brooks,
Speaker 1: John O's you're joining us now, Bucky. What's going on
Speaker 1: with you? Hey man? It's all good looking forward to
Speaker 1: this a Thursday night battle. Jaguars gonna view him the
Speaker 1: national stage. That's that's applause worthy. It is, and and
Speaker 1: so what they've been so far, at least they've been
Speaker 1: national stage worthy, and certainly on the offensive side, John,
Speaker 1: I could get used to these short weeks. I'll tell you, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't mind him. I mean I from a football standpoint, though, Uh,
Speaker 1: I guess the older I get and more players I
Speaker 1: talked to, I would just as soon do away with
Speaker 1: the whole concept. From a football standpoint, I think it's
Speaker 1: really hard in the players. There was no practice this week. Um.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, as a fan, I sort
Speaker 1: of look forward to tuning in every Thursday. So I
Speaker 1: guess you gotta take one for the team every now
Speaker 1: and then and be on these Thursday night games. A right.
Speaker 1: It happens once a year for every team, but pretty
Speaker 1: much every team in the National Football League, and as
Speaker 1: of late, it's been really the only prime time game
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars in every season. The last time he's
Speaker 1: not playing Tennessee this year. That's true. It's always come
Speaker 1: on Jaguars special early in the season. It feels like
Speaker 1: now we've got a Dolphins Jaguars matchup. Let's get to
Speaker 1: the injury report today. We'll get into the game coming up.
Speaker 1: But some good news today for the tight end room.
Speaker 1: Tyler Davis practiced full today. He was limited Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 1: He had been out with any issue the first couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. The rookie tied in from Georgia Tech. We'll
Speaker 1: see what kind of contribution he could make if he's
Speaker 1: up an available. Brandon Watson went full today. He had
Speaker 1: not practiced a Monday or Tuesday. The reserve safety DJ Chark,
Speaker 1: though it was limited Monday and Tuesday with a chest
Speaker 1: slash back issue and did not practice today. He's questionable
Speaker 1: for the game. Josh Lambo's ruled out for the game
Speaker 1: officially on Thursday night, so they'll have to make a
Speaker 1: move at kicker, and Brandon Linder has not practiced, he
Speaker 1: has ruled out for the game, and John those are
Speaker 1: some notable names. They're starting center the kicker and d
Speaker 1: J Charts questionable. That's huge Yeah, huge newsday on the
Speaker 1: injury report. Brandon Right, a rookie from Georgia State, will
Speaker 1: kick for the Jaguars tomorrow. For fans who don't know him,
Speaker 1: he's a punter and a kicker. Doug Marone just talked
Speaker 1: about him on a conference call, said his confidence level
Speaker 1: is high. And Tyler Shatley, as I think everybody knew,
Speaker 1: we'll start for Brandon later at center. That's felt sort
Speaker 1: of expected all week. Hard to tell what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: with DJ. They said they're being cautious. Uh, didn't get
Speaker 1: a great vibe. But on Thursday nights, as you can
Speaker 1: talk to later on Thursday games, so much happens in
Speaker 1: terms of recovery for probable or questionable guys. But he'll
Speaker 1: probably be a game time decision. Josh Lambo though he's
Speaker 1: gonna go on i R, which means he's out at
Speaker 1: least three weeks with a hip injury. UM. I'm usually
Speaker 1: somebody who thinks, okay, a injury in the short term
Speaker 1: in this league, usually you can overcome it quickly. Kicker
Speaker 1: as good as this guy has been, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: something to watch big time on Thursday, no doubt. Bucky.
Speaker 1: These are big games on the injury report that are
Speaker 1: out for a Thursday night national game. Yeah, big games.
Speaker 1: But this is kind of the stage of the NFL
Speaker 1: right now. Everyone is having to really dig deep fun
Speaker 1: guys that are backups that are ready to play. And
Speaker 1: so when you're talking about the Jaguars, the youngest team
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, you're just gonna have to
Speaker 1: count on some other people to step up and be
Speaker 1: able to stand in there and really thriving these roles
Speaker 1: that may have been thrust upon them when they were unexpected.
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll keep a close watch close to game
Speaker 1: time when the enactors are announced tomorrow, about an hour
Speaker 1: and a half before kickoff, to see what DJ Chart's
Speaker 1: status is for the game. Though. Let's let's quickly wrap
Speaker 1: last week's game. The Jaguars and the Titans in Week two,
Speaker 1: and this was another pretty good offensive day. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're averaging eight and a half points per games so far.
Speaker 1: It's tied for eighth in the league, tied for fourth
Speaker 1: in the a f C with the Chiefs. Minshew led
Speaker 1: the charge in the second half of those three touchdown
Speaker 1: drives to get the game back tied again. The running
Speaker 1: game was fantastic again with James Robinson, so so Bucky
Speaker 1: is a lot of the same. They're spreading the ball around,
Speaker 1: they can run the football, and you know, if they
Speaker 1: weren't down two scores to begin with, you might see
Speaker 1: a little bit more from the offense. But they're having
Speaker 1: a club back in games. But so far they've been
Speaker 1: able to do that a couple of times this season. Bucky, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so far, the positive has been about governments, you playing
Speaker 1: really well. He didn't know how quickly he would pick
Speaker 1: up Jake Gruten's offense. That has obviously worked out. They're
Speaker 1: converting that we saw at ten for fourteen on third down. Man,
Speaker 1: you're talking about operating at a very efficient clip. James
Speaker 1: Robinson gives a quiet one hundred yard game, like if
Speaker 1: you didn't really watch the game, you wouldn't even since
Speaker 1: that he had a hundred yards. And so that's positively
Speaker 1: one thing that stands out, and it's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why they lost the two turnovers. Typically, when you
Speaker 1: lose the turnover battle by plus two, you're talking about
Speaker 1: it's a it's a seventy five percent win rate. When
Speaker 1: you win the turnover battle by plus two. The Jaguars
Speaker 1: can't give the ball away. The march for air is
Speaker 1: really thin, especially with the defense not playing at a
Speaker 1: high level. Yeah, John, those two interceptions were to, um,
Speaker 1: you know, just mis calculate. Well, the person was tipped
Speaker 1: by Colin Johnson who's six ft six and didn't he
Speaker 1: thought the ball was coming to him. Was supposed to
Speaker 1: go to a Shaughnessy. And the last one, um, well,
Speaker 1: Clowney was lined up off side, but that's beside the
Speaker 1: point and it was at the line. So it does.
Speaker 1: But to to tip ball interceptions unfortunate. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: know you could do that. Jp. If I had known that,
Speaker 1: I would have had the receivers about fifteen yards down
Speaker 1: field to start, because that would have maybe even things out,
Speaker 1: I think a huge thing. Uh. And I really haven't
Speaker 1: had time to study this that much because it was
Speaker 1: a short week. The third down conversions that Bucky talked about,
Speaker 1: it's huge, Jon Gruden, I mean, I'm sorry, Jay grud
Speaker 1: and I knew I was gonna do at some point
Speaker 1: this season. Jay Gruden talked about that this week as
Speaker 1: being to the offense ten of fourteen. If they were
Speaker 1: converting less, they'd be scoring about half that much. My senses,
Speaker 1: without really going back and studying it, James Robinson gets
Speaker 1: more out of early down carries than I think Leonard
Speaker 1: four Nette did. With James Robinson, he gets three or
Speaker 1: four yards, he gets whatever is there. Sometimes four Nett
Speaker 1: would only get a yard or two, maybe doing a
Speaker 1: little bit too much dancing. My sense is that they're
Speaker 1: being helped by better down and distant and that that's
Speaker 1: causing them to be able to convert a lot better,
Speaker 1: cheesier to convert third and three and third and seven.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Bucky's seen that or not, but
Speaker 1: I think his efficient running style helps them overall. Maybe
Speaker 1: in a hidden stat in that sense, Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: hidden stat And part of it is the thread of
Speaker 1: James Robinson because he has been very effective. The one
Speaker 1: thing that Jay Gruten has done, Garna Missue has been
Speaker 1: excellent off play action third team for seventeen every nine
Speaker 1: point nine yards per attempt, three touchdowns and a passer
Speaker 1: raiding go on six when he throws off play action
Speaker 1: and so on early downs. When they line up in
Speaker 1: the eye and they fake to James Robinson pull it out,
Speaker 1: they're now putting themselves in situations where it is second
Speaker 1: and short very manageable situations, and part of being successful
Speaker 1: on third down is putting yourself in a position to
Speaker 1: have those manageable third downs. On first and second down,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have really done a good job of kind
Speaker 1: of playing, uh, playing the game in that manner. Offensive
Speaker 1: line has a lot to do with that too, guys.
Speaker 1: Of course, they're they're playing very well, at least early
Speaker 1: in this season, getting that push up front with the
Speaker 1: veteran group for the most part they'll have and even
Speaker 1: when Shatley came in last week in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: they still ran the ball effectively behind Shatley to Bucky. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now they've been able to run the ball very, very effectively,
Speaker 1: and I think that's been one of the things that you,
Speaker 1: Doug Maron, you, Jake Ruten, you feel very encouraged about
Speaker 1: because you didn't know what this offensive line and what
Speaker 1: this unit was going to do because of like didn't
Speaker 1: have the full compliment of the off season. But it's
Speaker 1: been very impressive to watch them run the ball, run
Speaker 1: the ball when everyone in stadium knows they have to
Speaker 1: run the ball. That's very very critical, and so James
Speaker 1: Robinson looks like a fine but this offensive line looks
Speaker 1: like they have the capability of being able to push
Speaker 1: people off the ball. That bowls will for the Jaguars
Speaker 1: going down the stretch, and John the entire Jaguar's brass
Speaker 1: called it. Yes, Yeah, remember the whole tanking thing. Remember
Speaker 1: tanking for Trevor ten days ago? Ten days ago. If
Speaker 1: you looked at it, and I missed it a little bit,
Speaker 1: but if you really looked at it, the interior of
Speaker 1: the offensive line, the way they approached it should have
Speaker 1: been enough to tell everybody that the whole tanking fame
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. They brought back Norwell, who would have cost
Speaker 1: him a little bit on the cap, but they could
Speaker 1: have gotten rid of him if they were tanking. Lender
Speaker 1: was a dead swap in terms of his cap space.
Speaker 1: If they were tanking, you get rid of him. If
Speaker 1: they're tanking, you sure don't bring back a six year
Speaker 1: veteran to be your swing guard swain center like they
Speaker 1: did with Shatley. Now they're they're benefiting from that, now
Speaker 1: they have experienced to go in its center. This team
Speaker 1: wanted to win, and they kept telling us all off season,
Speaker 1: the offensive line is going to be better. The offensive
Speaker 1: line is a big reason why the key to that
Speaker 1: whole tanking bs was the fact that they were bringing
Speaker 1: back an experienced offensive line, and Tyler Shatley is maybe
Speaker 1: an example of that about the tanking thing. Yeah, now,
Speaker 1: look at it's been. It's been a pleasant surprise to
Speaker 1: see the Jaguars not only compete, but to win games.
Speaker 1: I think we could make a solid case that they
Speaker 1: could be and maybe should be tun Oh at this mark.
Speaker 1: And that's why the game Thursday night is really really important,
Speaker 1: because it's important for them to go to tun one
Speaker 1: to just kind of legitimize what Doug Marone, Dave Colwill
Speaker 1: and everyone is doing because look, on the outside, everyone
Speaker 1: was saying this team has given up. They they've waived
Speaker 1: the white flag. They're waiting for next year to find
Speaker 1: their quarterback of the future. If they get out to
Speaker 1: a start where they're at two in one and will
Speaker 1: position to possibly go three and one, I think it
Speaker 1: changes that. But it also gives more confidence to the
Speaker 1: people in the locker room because then the guys may
Speaker 1: begin to believe that a we may have a shot
Speaker 1: to do something that no one thought that we could
Speaker 1: be able to do, and that's really compete for a
Speaker 1: playoffs spot tune one going into the many body. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where we are. That's where we are going into
Speaker 1: Thursday night football and have a chance to be two
Speaker 1: and one and then going to the Mini buy and
Speaker 1: then to Cincinnati next week. So we've got putty ahead
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group.
Speaker 1: Will come back and get into the Jaguars defense and
Speaker 1: how they can start a little bit faster defensively it
Speaker 1: has not been the case the first two weeks of
Speaker 1: the season. A little later, Jimmy Luck joins us the
Speaker 1: head equipment manager, to show off the Alltel uniforms for
Speaker 1: tomorrow night's football game against the Miami Dolphins, and we'll

Speaker 1: Buckey brooks out in California. The Jags and the Dolphins
Speaker 1: coming up on Thursday Night Football tomorrow night at t
Speaker 1: I A A Bank Field, A chance for the Jags
Speaker 1: to move to two and one and then have a
Speaker 1: nice weekend to think about that and get ready for
Speaker 1: Cincinnati in Week four. But before we move on to
Speaker 1: the Jags defense, Buckey, what what stands out about the
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense so far that the Jags offense would have
Speaker 1: to What what scares you about the Dolphins defense? If anything,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins will the Dolphins will play a ton of
Speaker 1: man to man coverage. UM. This is where Brian Floores
Speaker 1: believes in coming from the New England school, they play
Speaker 1: a lot of Uh, nose and nose, challenge the guys
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage and see if they can
Speaker 1: get off the line. And so for the Jaguars, I
Speaker 1: think the trick is can those guys win in the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage? When I looked at the Dolphins and
Speaker 1: I looked at their numbers, uh, garnaments she has been
Speaker 1: really good on quick game uh so and passes under
Speaker 1: two point five seconds. Uh. The Dolphins are holding people
Speaker 1: towards sixty four percent completion rate and a seventy three
Speaker 1: point nine passer rating. And so if we're trying to
Speaker 1: get those rhythm throws that we've been able to see
Speaker 1: Garna minsh you do early in the game, those meant
Speaker 1: that be available. So what is the counter that j
Speaker 1: Gruen comes up with to take care of the man
Speaker 1: to man covers that the Dolphins will employ big Obviously John,
Speaker 1: if DJ is not available, that that deep threat that
Speaker 1: he presents might not be around for this Jags offense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you wonder if it's a case where flour Is says,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to go strength on strength,
Speaker 1: Meaning if you really scout back to last year and
Speaker 1: watch this Jaguars team, you know that mins she is
Speaker 1: very good on that touch deep ball. He showed it
Speaker 1: again during training camp. He's really good on it to chart.
Speaker 1: So if he's not there, it's it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of a blow. But Channat can do that too, and
Speaker 1: Keelan Cole can get deep. So and waiting Okay, this
Speaker 1: year for minshow is sort of not on cork because
Speaker 1: that's not what he does. But for him to hit
Speaker 1: those touch passes down the sidelines we all saw in
Speaker 1: training camp. My guess is from what little I know
Speaker 1: about floor is he's not going to back off man
Speaker 1: to man. He's gonna make them beat you deep Minshew
Speaker 1: can do it? Can you do it without chart? We'll see.
Speaker 1: We'll find out to come in active time tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: Let's slip it around to the Jags defense now, and
Speaker 1: for two straight weeks, the opening drive has carved up
Speaker 1: this Jaguars defense, going right down the field for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Last week, the first two drives for Tennessee did it.
Speaker 1: Both drives were inside of two minutes of game time
Speaker 1: elapsed UM, respectively, and it was fourteen zip right out
Speaker 1: of the gates. Lucky. It's a you can't continue with
Speaker 1: that trend. Obviously, getting in a hole is is awful,
Speaker 1: and they were fortunate to climb back out of that
Speaker 1: whole last week. Tie the game light, but fourteen nothing
Speaker 1: is not gonna get you too far. How do you
Speaker 1: how do you slow that trend down? You know? I
Speaker 1: think what tyd Watch has now, he says, two games
Speaker 1: of film to look at and kind of determine what
Speaker 1: are the things that we do really really well. John
Speaker 1: brought up an interesting point when you talked about playing
Speaker 1: strength on strength. I think this is a game where
Speaker 1: you look at what the Dolphins do. But I think
Speaker 1: because it's such a short week, you have to build
Speaker 1: a game plan off what you do really well. And
Speaker 1: so if Tyd watched looks at the tape, you may
Speaker 1: discover that, Okay, be pressure pretty good at times. Maybe
Speaker 1: we need to dial up a little more pressure early
Speaker 1: in the game. Get Miles Jack involved. Hopefully he can
Speaker 1: be an impact player to compliment Josh Allen. Maybe our
Speaker 1: young guys can hold up, because when I look at
Speaker 1: their wide receiver corps, you have DeVante Parker, but it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily the same threats that um the Jaguars have
Speaker 1: faced early on. So maybe a little more aggressive aggressiveness
Speaker 1: to try and see if the Jaguars can dictate the
Speaker 1: terms to create more long yard is third down situations
Speaker 1: where they can pretend to be fair better. John, I
Speaker 1: know you asked Todd about the blitzing and this week
Speaker 1: and when to blitz, how to blitz. Fans are clamoring
Speaker 1: for the blitz is the popular thing to do on
Speaker 1: video games and all that, but it's not as easy
Speaker 1: in reality. Well, the reality is, you know every time
Speaker 1: in NFL history, JP, I look this up. Every time
Speaker 1: in NFL history that an opponent has completed a pass,
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator should have blitz. According to fans, it's
Speaker 1: it's perceived as all. It's not the end all, especially
Speaker 1: in this defense, And I think Todd made a great
Speaker 1: point this week. If you're going to blitz and you
Speaker 1: know they're in max protect and you're just sort of
Speaker 1: beating your head against you all, then you're putting yourself
Speaker 1: in a position to fail. They're not gonna blitz every time,
Speaker 1: but I do think if they continue to get the
Speaker 1: lack of pressure they have in the first couple of games,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to blitz more than they're comfortable with.
Speaker 1: There maybe some feast or famine in the past that
Speaker 1: was really dangerous for this defense, because there was a
Speaker 1: feeling in the last two years jp you saw them
Speaker 1: all that if this team got behind, it was dead.
Speaker 1: Well this year with this offense, I'm not so sure
Speaker 1: that that's the case. So blitzing, even though you're giving
Speaker 1: up stuff on the back end, may not be out
Speaker 1: of the question. But the early game stuff has been
Speaker 1: going back even to the Colts game. Remember they got
Speaker 1: rolled on the first series and got rolled down to
Speaker 1: the three on this on the second series. This team
Speaker 1: has to start faster. They've got to get off the
Speaker 1: field quicker early in the game. They only led five
Speaker 1: minutes of this season. You can't win games consistently doing that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's not a good stat at all. Certainly, it's
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta get that lead somehow and play
Speaker 1: with the lead. We haven't seen that much this year now,
Speaker 1: we haven't. We haven't seen that. And John brings up
Speaker 1: a point it's hard to climb out of holes consistently,
Speaker 1: and what typically has happened UH coach Washers had the
Speaker 1: change is styled a little bit. Had to ratchet up
Speaker 1: to pressure, and I think all fans should understand that
Speaker 1: when you're calling blisses and the bliss is just a
Speaker 1: five man or more pressure, what you're trying to do
Speaker 1: is really create one on one situations for your best
Speaker 1: pass rushers to be able to get home. It's not
Speaker 1: necessarily designed for the blitzer to get a clean run
Speaker 1: at the quarterback, even though sometimes you get that, and
Speaker 1: so Todd has to deal up more pressure. But then
Speaker 1: it's on the guys. They have to win up front.
Speaker 1: You have to win your one on one matchups, and
Speaker 1: so you have to put a little more pressure on
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and company up front to be able to
Speaker 1: get home. And so that's the limit. You don't want
Speaker 1: to expose the back end too often to one on
Speaker 1: one matchups, but you have to find a way to
Speaker 1: somehow disruptive rhythm of the passing game, particularly with a
Speaker 1: streaky quarterback like Ryan Fitzpatrick. That is up this week.
Speaker 1: And don't forget, yeah, John, the most veteran guy in
Speaker 1: the secondary right now is in his third year. So
Speaker 1: if you're leaving it exposed, your lead been some kids
Speaker 1: exposed back there, Uh last week. That's not always ideal.
Speaker 1: So that plays into it a little bit as well.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Ryan Fitzpatrick. He is and this is I
Speaker 1: just found this fascinating looking this up today. He is
Speaker 1: thirty six on the all time passing yardage list in
Speaker 1: the NFL, ahead of Steve Young, y A Tittle, and
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman. He is streaky, as you said, Bucky, He's
Speaker 1: been around for a long time in the league, a
Speaker 1: bunch of different teams. Uh. But as you said, if
Speaker 1: he gets hot, then he's really hot. He's cold, he's
Speaker 1: cold as ice. And how do you determine which one
Speaker 1: that's going to be Bucky. Well, I mean it's almost
Speaker 1: like any meny mighty mode. You just don't know what
Speaker 1: he's guts going to show up. I will say this
Speaker 1: and maybe this uh works in the Jaguar's favor. He's
Speaker 1: coming off a game against Buffalo where he had three
Speaker 1: hundred plus yours. He had two touchdowns and no interceptions.
Speaker 1: Rapitz Patrick typically gives the ball to the other team,
Speaker 1: so maybe this is the Jaguars lucky week that he
Speaker 1: gives it up. But to the streaking this point that
Speaker 1: you bring up, he's thrown for over three hundred yards
Speaker 1: and three of his last four stars, so he can
Speaker 1: dial it up. He can string together completions. He is unafraid,
Speaker 1: so even if he turns it over, he's going to
Speaker 1: continue to keep tossing the rock. And so this is
Speaker 1: a week where, without practice time, hopefully the guys in
Speaker 1: the second yary have caught a lot of passes because
Speaker 1: he is going to throw one or two in their chest.
Speaker 1: They have to catch him because those turnovers could be backbreakers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll get opportunities on the back end this week, Johnny.
Speaker 1: It feels like if you can get there and get
Speaker 1: in his face and get some pressure, and you know
Speaker 1: the guy has been at it for so long. But
Speaker 1: you know the big story of course down there is
Speaker 1: when it's two are gonna play. It won't be this week.
Speaker 1: It's a short week, and you don't want to do
Speaker 1: that to a rookie. But at some point, guys, that's
Speaker 1: the future in Miami. I would be surprised to see
Speaker 1: that this week. John, Yeah, I'd be a shock. And
Speaker 1: I talked to Armando Sugero, the Mammy Harold, who's been
Speaker 1: doing the Dolphins forever. Down there, no way, in his opinion,
Speaker 1: just to a play this week. You just can't get
Speaker 1: it ready because you're talking about a short week. As
Speaker 1: we know from covering the Jaguars, this week only walk
Speaker 1: through is only run through. There's definitely any time to prep,
Speaker 1: so you don't do that. The thing with Fitzpatrick is
Speaker 1: he will throw the ball up to these bigger receivers
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins. I sensed that this this could mean
Speaker 1: a C. J. Henderson day. He's very good at playing
Speaker 1: the ball. He's gonna get some opportunities. He's good at
Speaker 1: going up and getting the interception. Not all defensive backs
Speaker 1: are big play would be him taking advantage of Fitzpatrick's
Speaker 1: willingness to throw the ball into tight spots and to
Speaker 1: put it up for grabs. C J can win up
Speaker 1: for grabs. I like that. I like that for sure.
Speaker 1: Hey Bucky, when when do you think they pull the
Speaker 1: trigger on tour down there? Since we're on the Dolphins
Speaker 1: right now, I think we have to look at the
Speaker 1: middle of the schedule because the tricky what is rapus
Speaker 1: Patrick is coming off a great week, so we're talking
Speaker 1: about the streakiness. If he gets on one of those
Speaker 1: four or five game streaks, then you have to continue
Speaker 1: to keep two on the sidelines. But I think the
Speaker 1: ideal move is right around the middle of the season.
Speaker 1: He's been on the sideline enough to kind of get
Speaker 1: a feel for what the practice routine and how fast
Speaker 1: the game is. At some point this year, though, you
Speaker 1: do want to see two A talk about LA get
Speaker 1: on the field and have an opportunity to play. We'll
Speaker 1: see if they If they get hot and the fits
Speaker 1: magic happens again and they start winning football games, then
Speaker 1: they never can tell. At that point. Let's come back
Speaker 1: in a moment. Jimmy Luck is standing by. He will
Speaker 1: show off the uniforms that have already been unveiled for
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football all Teal for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: We'll take a look at those when we come back.

Speaker 1: can make it down to the bank. It's going to

Speaker 1: Shadrick with Bucky Brooks John Osier. That music each week
Speaker 1: means it's time for head equipment manager Jimmy Luck to
Speaker 1: join us on the program, and he will be with
Speaker 1: us shortly. He is getting set up and ready to
Speaker 1: go in that booth they've already and now there is
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck is here with us now. Jimmy, can you
Speaker 1: hear us? How are you? Yeah? I got you? Okay? Well,
Speaker 1: welcome in the program. Appreciate it. Um, this is they
Speaker 1: kind of they stole your thunder this week. Jimmy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I must say they've already announced the uniforms. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a good look. It's all teal this week. Jimmy. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll get to what they look like in your hands
Speaker 1: here in a moment. But those Thursday night game traditionally
Speaker 1: has been at least over the last few years, where
Speaker 1: teams show off that that full color rush where there
Speaker 1: will wear the same top and bottom and and do
Speaker 1: it on Thursday night football what the Jags have done
Speaker 1: this before, right, it was the goal. Was the name
Speaker 1: the official name of that gold color they used to have.
Speaker 1: It's it's called Okra and it's. Um. Some people liked it,
Speaker 1: some people didn't like it. It was definitely very unique. Um,
Speaker 1: you know it's it is one of our colors. But
Speaker 1: I think everybody's more fired up about the teal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good look John for Tomorrow Night,
Speaker 1: no doubt. I know you're fired up about the teal. Right,
Speaker 1: but I once wore the gold uniform, and I must
Speaker 1: say I look good in it. I think that's just me.
Speaker 1: It's not about me, Jimmy, It's about the players. So
Speaker 1: what have the players seen the combination? Do they like it?
Speaker 1: Or do they not see it for Tomorrow Night? Uh No,
Speaker 1: they've they've seen it. Um, there's been a few photo
Speaker 1: shoots here and there, so, um, you know, I know
Speaker 1: Josh has had it on a few times, Josh Allen
Speaker 1: and uh I think maybe you know, with photoshop these days,
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell who's actually seen it who hadn't.
Speaker 1: I mean there's pictures of teel helmets and everything like that.
Speaker 1: You know, we're not going that far. We're still keeping
Speaker 1: still only one helmet in the NFL you can have,
Speaker 1: so we're not quite there yet, but it will be
Speaker 1: steel pants, steel sleeves. The players still get fired up
Speaker 1: about uniforms. Jimmy, Oh yeah, yeah, they definitely. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: there's looks that they like and then they'll they'll definitely
Speaker 1: give us their opinion. If they don't like to look,
Speaker 1: or you know, maybe we didn't play well, they'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's don't wear that again. So, um, we do get
Speaker 1: a little bit of influence. We obviously have to declare
Speaker 1: really early in the year, um or before the season starts,
Speaker 1: what jersey we're wearing, but we have some leeway with
Speaker 1: the pants and the sleeves and the socks and those
Speaker 1: sort of things. So you know, So Jimmy, I have
Speaker 1: a question, Uh, what does it look like for the coaches?
Speaker 1: Because if the players are in all teo, how are
Speaker 1: the coaches going to distinguish themselves? Because do they wear black?
Speaker 1: Do they wear white? That we because when you're on
Speaker 1: the sideline, you're trying to find the coach. Did you
Speaker 1: mess that up? To make sure that you take care
Speaker 1: of it, well, we we tried to, especially for the
Speaker 1: signal callers. Todd Wash. He likes to kind of stand out. Um.
Speaker 1: Some of the other coaches they just get so set
Speaker 1: in their ways on what they wear. They like wearing
Speaker 1: what they wear, whether it's you know, like hey, I
Speaker 1: want to wear this black hot jacket, whether it's a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty degrees outside or it's thirty five. They
Speaker 1: got that hot jacket they want to wear so um.
Speaker 1: But you know, we try to work with them if
Speaker 1: they do need to stand out. Um. You know, coach
Speaker 1: s Gruden, he's not a real big like that, doesn't
Speaker 1: you know, because he's talking in the radio, so he
Speaker 1: doesn't really care. But Coach Wash likes to signal a
Speaker 1: lot so um, So he'll usually wear something that kind
Speaker 1: of contrast the players. Interesting thought there for sure, with
Speaker 1: all the color rush going on in the sideline, how
Speaker 1: do you stand out? You know, back to that the
Speaker 1: helmet thing, Jimmy, I mean, I think it was in
Speaker 1: London at a fan event one year. I saw somebody
Speaker 1: with like a mini teal helmet. I think they were
Speaker 1: selling them over there, So you know, that's kind of
Speaker 1: a thing at least there you said they can only
Speaker 1: have one helmet though, right, they can't have a throwback
Speaker 1: helmet or or a different color helmet, right, Yeah, that's correct.
Speaker 1: Right now, the NFL only allows one like one helmet. Um. Now,
Speaker 1: obviously certain players have backup helmets, quarterbacks, guys with the radios,
Speaker 1: they have multiple helmets in case something breaks, but you're
Speaker 1: really only allowed one. Look right now. UM, I think
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of starting to soften on that a little bit. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, probably eight years ago, I guess you could
Speaker 1: do that where people actually had different color helmets. Um,
Speaker 1: but there was a little bit of concern about, um,
Speaker 1: if a guy, you know, if we had to throwback helmet,
Speaker 1: but maybe he wore an old helmet. There weren't any
Speaker 1: more models in that. So but now with the helmets
Speaker 1: being so new and guys wearing new helmets every year,
Speaker 1: it's really not an issue anymore. So, UM, I would
Speaker 1: see maybe in the next year too, that probably coming back. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, with us, obviously most of ours have kind
Speaker 1: of been black. We all we had a little bit
Speaker 1: of the the you know, the the more helmet there.
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. You know. I don't know that
Speaker 1: we will see the two tone any anytime soon. But
Speaker 1: but again, everybody had their favorite. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: the the two tone kind of grew on me there
Speaker 1: at the end. It kind of sad when it went away,
Speaker 1: but um, you know, like I said, everybody kind of
Speaker 1: has their favorites and and you know, it's like I
Speaker 1: was kind of fired up to finally get the teal
Speaker 1: uniforms and the look on Twitter and everybody's killing me
Speaker 1: because we're not wearing teel helmets, so so I can't win.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's one of those things. It's just
Speaker 1: kind of fun to to see what everybody wants. Hey, Lucky,
Speaker 1: what was your favorite uniform combo with the Jags? H Man,
Speaker 1: I'm just such a big fan of the teal jersey,
Speaker 1: so anything old school throwback to you with the white
Speaker 1: pants for me was my favorite combination. Um, I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to see an old deal. Yeah, fired up. So Jimmy,
Speaker 1: let's take a look and what the Jaguars will were
Speaker 1: tomorrow night on Thursday Night Football, the Dolphins and the
Speaker 1: Jags in the Sunshine State Showdown. What you got, jim,
Speaker 1: there we go, so we got obviously, you know we're
Speaker 1: going with the teal jerseys. You know we've worn those
Speaker 1: quite a few times before, and then to complete the
Speaker 1: look the teal pants, which you know haven't made too
Speaker 1: many appearances, but this will be the first time with
Speaker 1: the all deal, so I think everybody's pretty fired up
Speaker 1: about that. Good luck. We'll see those tomorrow night at
Speaker 1: t I A. A. Bank Field as the Jags host
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Jimmy will talk to you next week before
Speaker 1: the Jags hit the road again to face the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: Have a good one tomorrow night, all right, appreciate it,
Speaker 1: Thanks JP, Thanks Bucky, Jimmy luck joining us each week

Speaker 1: P Shadrick, Bucky Brooks, John Osier back along with us
Speaker 1: here and just a little bit and Bucky, I saw
Speaker 1: a tweet that you had earlier today and it ainked
Speaker 1: my interest. So let's let's delve into this a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's the youth movement at the quarterback position in the league. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're always young quarterbacks to play, but there are some
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are young that are playing very well. So far,
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks twenty five years old or younger have forty
Speaker 1: plus passing attempts and UH plus rating through two games,
Speaker 1: the most in the Super Bowl era. Lamar Jackson, Josh
Speaker 1: Allen Gardner, Jared Goff, and Patrick Mahomes. That's that's quite
Speaker 1: a list. It is quite a list. JP. Just think about,
Speaker 1: like how much the game has changed just since you've
Speaker 1: been involved in National Football League. We used to hear
Speaker 1: for years young quarterbacks needed to sit um, they gotta
Speaker 1: they have to fit into our system. But now we're
Speaker 1: seeing more and more coaches make the game very easy
Speaker 1: for the quarterback. We're seeing how quarterbacks, regardless of went
Speaker 1: round they're drafted, they're coming in and having success. And
Speaker 1: so I think it's kind of the perfect warm. Guys
Speaker 1: are training year round its quarterbacks from an early age.
Speaker 1: They're exposed to seven on seven when they're teenagers, they're
Speaker 1: playing in spread offenses in high school where they're throwing
Speaker 1: it and thirty times a game. The system in college
Speaker 1: really puts the ball in their hands and allows them
Speaker 1: to make some decisions. And then in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: we're seeing more NFL optensive coordinators take some of those
Speaker 1: concepts from the college game and put him into play.
Speaker 1: And now the game on Sunday looks very, very similar
Speaker 1: to the way the game looks on Saturday, and so
Speaker 1: a lot of these young quarterbacks are benefiting from these changes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's um. It has changed, and that has been a
Speaker 1: very recent change because you know in the in the
Speaker 1: college game that the read options stuff and the spread
Speaker 1: option and all that, you are putting your quarterback at risk.
Speaker 1: A lot of those times when you're have a running
Speaker 1: quarterback goes around. But we're seeing a couple of these
Speaker 1: names on this list that can do just that. And
Speaker 1: so far it's been okay with Lamar Jackson and Josh
Speaker 1: Allen especial flee um is the league taking a turn
Speaker 1: towards that, I think being okay with mobile quarterbacks who
Speaker 1: might just pull the ball and run on their own.
Speaker 1: That that was not really heard of about ten years ago.
Speaker 1: It's not really heard of. But when you think about
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks that people are celebrating in recent time,
Speaker 1: uh Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson. Both of those guys have
Speaker 1: captured m v P s. There's a rise when people
Speaker 1: are talking about Kyler Murray being as Deshaun Watson has
Speaker 1: been rewarded with a big contract. Um, You're seeing that
Speaker 1: athleticism is now one of the requisite requirements to be
Speaker 1: able to play the position. And I'm not as concerned
Speaker 1: about guys running the ball as much because this is
Speaker 1: how this is the way these guys have been playing
Speaker 1: since they've been playing youth league. This is what the
Speaker 1: quarterback is being asked to do and the Lord loves,
Speaker 1: and so they're increasingly comfortable running the ball, putting themselves
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, being an extra ball carry. And so
Speaker 1: I think we as fans have to adjust are thinking
Speaker 1: to being like you have to prototypical franchise quarterback also
Speaker 1: has the ability to run the ball at times. Interesting
Speaker 1: transition I think around the National Football League is underway.
Speaker 1: John Osier is back with us now and we're talking
Speaker 1: about John. The youth movement at the quarterback position and
Speaker 1: the success that handful of players are having at the
Speaker 1: position that are twenty five years old and younger and
Speaker 1: John they're they're throwing the kids out there and letting
Speaker 1: them play early and letting them play a style of
Speaker 1: ball they've played throughout their upbringing, which you know, you
Speaker 1: used to have to really fit into a system in
Speaker 1: the NFL that seems to have changed over the years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have thoughts on this. Where we could go until
Speaker 1: six o'clock Eastern, Buddy Bucket, it's three o'clock your time. Um.
Speaker 1: The first thing I wonder is the rules have changed
Speaker 1: so much that I think it's so in favor of
Speaker 1: quarterback play that it helps livee young guys. Think about
Speaker 1: every team has a legitimate quarterback right now, and it
Speaker 1: seems like there's a thousand great ones that's never happened.
Speaker 1: So I think they're benefiting a little from the rules.
Speaker 1: And that's the old guy in they get off my law,
Speaker 1: you know all that, But there's something to that. What
Speaker 1: I wonder, Bucky is Yes, they're more mobile, and they're
Speaker 1: more and they're more running, and it's great, it's exciting.
Speaker 1: I wonder in fifteen years if we look at it
Speaker 1: and wonder, you know, did some careers end early? Did
Speaker 1: the mobility cost them. Maybe not, but I still think
Speaker 1: that's the That's what you wonder is are they going
Speaker 1: to take hit and shorten their careers? And if so,
Speaker 1: is that just gonna be the trend moving forward that
Speaker 1: maybe they don't play twenty years now, that if you're
Speaker 1: taking these shots, you're gonna maybe have a quarterback in
Speaker 1: his prime for eight years rather than maybe eighteen. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I'm just skeptical, but I do wonder
Speaker 1: if that's going to come into play long after I'm
Speaker 1: retired hopefully now, John, I think it's a good point,
Speaker 1: but I think what has happened. We got comfortable with
Speaker 1: the quarterback playing fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years, but that wasn't
Speaker 1: always necessarily the standard. I think it kind of changed
Speaker 1: when we saw Brett fair play um for a long time,
Speaker 1: and then we saw Peyton Manning. We've seen Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees played for a long time, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that's necessarily the way that we should view
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback. If they played that long, it's great,
Speaker 1: but just just look at Kim Newton, who was in
Speaker 1: his tenth year. If you think about what he was
Speaker 1: able to accomplish this first four or five years where
Speaker 1: he was an m VP, he went to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the thing. And when you look at
Speaker 1: the team building process, your window to win the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl typically happens when they're playing on their rookie contract.
Speaker 1: The trend that I'm waiting to see is someone to
Speaker 1: go all in on the athletic quarterback and allow him
Speaker 1: to play the way to the plays where you run
Speaker 1: him and then he gets to the end of his
Speaker 1: rookie deal and maybe you go and get another one,
Speaker 1: just like you do in college. That is where you
Speaker 1: may like that you have a backup. Yeah, I'm waiting
Speaker 1: to see in Baltimore has done some of that where
Speaker 1: they have Jackson, r G three, um McSorley guys that
Speaker 1: can play the same system. But I'm waiting for to
Speaker 1: see someone treat the quarterback position like we treated in college,
Speaker 1: where hey, we have him for a while, but then
Speaker 1: he graduates and we bring in another one. Maybe somebody
Speaker 1: has um the courage to try and take a different,
Speaker 1: a different approach to the quarterback position. Almost exactly. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's right. We're on the same wavelength John on that
Speaker 1: comment there, because running backs. What Bucky last three three
Speaker 1: and a half years in the NFL and then here
Speaker 1: comes another one. So and there's the school thought by
Speaker 1: a lot of folks that you're never drafted running back
Speaker 1: in the first round because you can replace them. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's something to think about for quarterbacks down the line.
Speaker 1: I wonder, you know, I do think there's something to
Speaker 1: that because if we we all can acknowledge that the
Speaker 1: championship window is the rookie deal, the five year mark
Speaker 1: with the rookie deal, well why not try to extend
Speaker 1: that deal? Because what happens is when you have the
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback or the quarterback plan on the cheap deal, well,
Speaker 1: now I can spend money other places to upgrade the
Speaker 1: talent around him. Who is going to be the team
Speaker 1: builder that is willing to take some of the blowback
Speaker 1: from the fans when you don't resound the quarterback, but
Speaker 1: you're saying, hey, whoever plays quarterback for us, look at
Speaker 1: all of the weapons that we've given them, our system
Speaker 1: and allows anybody to be successful. It's uh food for thought.
Speaker 1: Let's say that we'll continue that conversation as the years
Speaker 1: go along. Um, let's get the scouts view of Gardner
Speaker 1: Minshew last week, Bucky, we're gonna start this. We're gonna
Speaker 1: call this a segment, and we're gonna call it scouts view. Um,
Speaker 1: give us a couple of positive things that you saw
Speaker 1: from Gardner last week, and a couple of things from
Speaker 1: the Jags quarterback that maybe he didn't execute so well
Speaker 1: that he can improve upon on Thursday Night Football Tomorrow night. Man. Frankly,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I I am pleasantly surprised by
Speaker 1: Garder Minshew, and look, I slow to come around. The
Speaker 1: guy was taken in the sixth round. I watched him
Speaker 1: play at the Senior Bowl, and I didn't necessarily view
Speaker 1: him as a franchise quarterback. But here's what the great
Speaker 1: thing about the National Football League. You play, you get
Speaker 1: an opportunity to change narratives. And I think he's beginning
Speaker 1: to change the narrative because he has been very effective.
Speaker 1: He's been very efficient. We've rattled off the numbers that
Speaker 1: he has been able to post um for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's doing it in his second
Speaker 1: system that he's played in. You have to begin to
Speaker 1: eventually say, hey, maybe he has a little something that
Speaker 1: we didn't think that he had when we drafted him.
Speaker 1: What you want to continue to see him improve upon,
Speaker 1: cut down on the turnovers, continue to be a guy
Speaker 1: that can really own the offense, meaning at some point
Speaker 1: he can we go no huddle and let him do everything.
Speaker 1: He seems to thrive in that offense at times. Some
Speaker 1: of that goes back to his days with Mike Leach
Speaker 1: at Washington State. But man, if he can ever have
Speaker 1: complete ownership of this offense where you can trust him
Speaker 1: to just go run it and make his own plays,
Speaker 1: So now the Jaguars can kind of change the tempo
Speaker 1: and put the defense on the heels about the way
Speaker 1: they play. That's when you see Gardner minsh you go
Speaker 1: next level. He's shown that, but can you show it consistently?
Speaker 1: Johnny a couple of moments in the game last week
Speaker 1: where you know he maybe still escape the pocket a
Speaker 1: little quickly, or didn't escape the pocket when he needed to,
Speaker 1: or throw the ball away. He had a twenty yard
Speaker 1: sack at a key moment in the game last week.
Speaker 1: Don Yeah, and I've been harping on that. I've written
Speaker 1: about it in the ozone at nauseam and asked about it,
Speaker 1: and I almost have a feeling now that when I
Speaker 1: talk about those things, I'm too nitpicky on it, you know,
Speaker 1: and you read it every j JP because you have to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been looking for reasons why he's not and that's
Speaker 1: the only reason you read it. But I mean looking
Speaker 1: for reasons why he's not going to make it. And
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever gonna be able to drive
Speaker 1: the ball. I think you're always going to have an
Speaker 1: issue when teams rush and contain him. And then there
Speaker 1: was the play the other day with the twenty yards sack,
Speaker 1: and it would be easier, it'd be easy to say, oh,
Speaker 1: that's why you can't do it. He still has not
Speaker 1: played sixteen NFL games. You can get away from you know,
Speaker 1: you can learn from what he did the other day
Speaker 1: that was wrong. He's gonna be the starting quarterback here.
Speaker 1: I think he is. I don't see any way that
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be the starting quarterback moving forward. And
Speaker 1: I think the question now is how good can he be,
Speaker 1: not whether he's gonna be here and they're gonna win
Speaker 1: too many games to get the quarterback next year. Whatever.
Speaker 1: He's the guy, and I want to see how good
Speaker 1: can he be? And so far most of the stuff
Speaker 1: that I see that he's not doing can be fixed.
Speaker 1: So I'm optimistic. Just like Bucky. I've come around in
Speaker 1: two weeks as well. We're on the same team, you
Speaker 1: and me. Buck. Yeah, I love it, Hey, John, But
Speaker 1: I think you make a great point because here's the
Speaker 1: dilemma that Dave Calwell and the coaching staff are going
Speaker 1: to be in. Garner Men, you may lead the Jaguars
Speaker 1: to too many wins and so say they win six, seven, eight,
Speaker 1: nine games somewhere in there, right, and so now you
Speaker 1: may be out of the quarterback sweet stace with the
Speaker 1: top guys. If let's just assume Trevor Lawrence justin Fields
Speaker 1: and trade Lands come out. So what eventually is garner Mens,
Speaker 1: you Silling? Is he a nine ten win quarterback and
Speaker 1: that's all we can expect? Or does he have the
Speaker 1: potential in time to be a twelve thirteen win quarterback
Speaker 1: who also can win playoff games? Is he case Keenum,
Speaker 1: is he Kirk Cousins, is he Drew Brees? Where does
Speaker 1: he fall in the pecking or that's the challenge that
Speaker 1: Dave cole Will and Dog Moron may have to meet
Speaker 1: when they're kind of projecting. Okay, here's the road map
Speaker 1: for the franchise. How good is our quarterback? How many games?
Speaker 1: What is the ceiling for our team? With him at
Speaker 1: the him It's a projection game for sure. At that
Speaker 1: point you gotta figure out what you're comfortable with and
Speaker 1: what the offense is going to look like moving ahead.
Speaker 1: There's our scouts view this week with Bucky Brooks. Let's
Speaker 1: get to big Game Jaguar. It's our weekly look at
Speaker 1: our picks for Jaguars to have a big game, and
Speaker 1: this week it's a big stage Thursday night football kickoff
Speaker 1: time tomorrow night at t I A Bank field of
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bucky, who you got
Speaker 1: this week? Well, look, my guys, a questionable game time decision.
Speaker 1: But I need DJ Chart to show up and play
Speaker 1: and to be a dominant force with so much man
Speaker 1: to man coverage. John and JPU guys have alluded to,
Speaker 1: we need to push the ball down the field. What
Speaker 1: d J Chark does it is as well as anybody
Speaker 1: on the field. Need him to play and need him
Speaker 1: to play really, really well against the Miami Dolphins. Dannio
Speaker 1: who you got well. I went with Myles Jack and
Speaker 1: I've been on him all year. It's a safe pick
Speaker 1: because he's going to play well. He showed the first
Speaker 1: two games. He's at a high level, he's healthy, he
Speaker 1: likes where he's playing. He was a big name coming out.
Speaker 1: Everybody knew Miles Jack, and I think the last couple
Speaker 1: of years in Jacksonville, he's disappeared from that national spotlight.
Speaker 1: Big game Tomorrow night on prime time. To me, if
Speaker 1: Miles is going to make the Pro Bowl, which I
Speaker 1: think he's capable of a play tomorrow night, some sort
Speaker 1: of big impact play to sort of get people talking
Speaker 1: about him again. This is the state he's not thinking
Speaker 1: about that for along those lines, I think that could
Speaker 1: be his game. I think Miles Jack does make the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl in part because of a huge play tomorrow night. Right,
Speaker 1: you've got Miles Jack, Bucky, you got DJ Chark. If
Speaker 1: he's up and and active and ready to go, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the tight end Tyler Ifford. Last week, the
Speaker 1: Jacks had seven tight end receptions in the game. Iford
Speaker 1: had four of those and his first touchdown with the
Speaker 1: Jags twenty five career score and all that man demand coverage.
Speaker 1: Maybe he can find a crease over the middle and
Speaker 1: give Gardner an extra option in this offense Tomorrow. It
Speaker 1: feels like they're starting to warm up the tight end
Speaker 1: position in the passing game. If you go off last
Speaker 1: week's game. So give me Tyler Eiffort. So Bucky has Chark,
Speaker 1: Oshan has Jack, Shadrick has Efort. Those are our big
Speaker 1: game Jaguars for Tomorrow night. Big game, Bucky. This is
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun one Tomorrow night. I can't wait
Speaker 1: for it, man, I am really excited about it. I
Speaker 1: think the name the Nation finally gets an opportunity to
Speaker 1: really look at the Jaguars and depositive things that are
Speaker 1: going on. I think you gotta watch. Hiscus should know
Speaker 1: could have a breakout party on Thursday night. We've seen
Speaker 1: stuff kind of begin to bubble up. He could aady
Speaker 1: break out game. That's a Bucky's Big Game Jaguar part
Speaker 1: due John a little bit. They need to win this.
Speaker 1: They think they're a contender, they think they're good show it.
Speaker 1: We'll find out tomorrow night. Bucky will talk to you
Speaker 1: in the post game. John, We'll talk to you in
Speaker 1: the free game. And thanks to both of you guys,
Speaker 1: Thanks to our entire crew, and thanks to you for
Speaker 1: watching today's program. For everyone involved on j P. Shadrick
