Speaker 1: Celebrating twenty five years of Jaguars football. God Jaguars well
Speaker 1: for made the Draftguards gonna win, There's still it is Wednesday, October.
Speaker 1: This is Jaguars Happy Hour. Jaguars Happy Hour is brought
Speaker 1: to you by the Fields Auto Group. Hey now a
Speaker 1: f C Special Teams Player of the Week runner up,
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrack. I don't think I'm gonna get it
Speaker 1: this year. If Josh Lambo keeps doing what he's doing,
Speaker 1: it's impressive. It has welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour presented
Speaker 1: by the Fields Auto Group. JP Shadrick. That senior writer
Speaker 1: John Osan Hi John Happy Jets Week. It is Jets
Speaker 1: Wick and it's uh. I think it's it's it's an
Speaker 1: amazingly similar storyline. The last week, must win against the
Speaker 1: team that you should win. I mean, let's uh, when
Speaker 1: you're winning five, I mean even taking away Monday night
Speaker 1: and I think that was an outlier for the Jets.
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna lock onto that. But it's a home game
Speaker 1: against the team that's that's uh, you know, not the Saints.
Speaker 1: It's not the chart. You know, it's not a great
Speaker 1: team coming into you ought to win it, just like
Speaker 1: you should have won last week. But as we saw
Speaker 1: last week, if you let teams hang around, and the
Speaker 1: Jaguars let the Bengals hang around, uh NFL teams are dangerous.
Speaker 1: This is not college football where you can just sort of,
Speaker 1: you know, slide and gradually get away. You've got to
Speaker 1: earn your way away from teams. And that's a big
Speaker 1: topic this week. Red zone scoring cost him last Week's
Speaker 1: gotta be better. Here's what's coming up on the program
Speaker 1: today here on Jaguars Happy Hour, Jets Week Underway. Of course,
Speaker 1: as we said, we'll hear from head coach Doug Morone
Speaker 1: and a couple of topics this week. Quarterback talk. There's
Speaker 1: a quarterback back on the practice field this week you
Speaker 1: might have heard of. There are some linebackers that you
Speaker 1: might not have heard of that are on the practice
Speaker 1: field this week. Some new faces at least the uniform unveiling.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck to to join us at about four thirty
Speaker 1: five or so. Chris Conley due to join us in
Speaker 1: studio after meetings. That's a round four and he'll have
Speaker 1: a special guest to be named. They'll surprise us once again.
Speaker 1: He always does. The big topics today, really the injury
Speaker 1: bug going around this team, especially on the what do
Speaker 1: you what do you doing? John? I was looking for
Speaker 1: the special guest find No, Well, we're gonna have that
Speaker 1: at today. So, um, the big story today injuries and
Speaker 1: of course late in the game. The linebackers really had
Speaker 1: some issues last week and the Cincinnati Bengals, and they
Speaker 1: had to go sign some guys off the street. A name,
Speaker 1: you know, Donald Payne who was around here before. That
Speaker 1: will help name. You also know um in the former
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP, who's now on this football team. And he,
Speaker 1: you know, just coming off the street though. You just
Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen there. Giles Harris coming off
Speaker 1: to practice squad. That's a lot of changes. Then you
Speaker 1: throw in Marcel Darius who was not here today. It
Speaker 1: was in Philadelphia. Um with the core muscle issue. Um,
Speaker 1: Marquis Sleeve is coming off of an ankle. You've got
Speaker 1: the left tackle has got a toe issue. It did
Speaker 1: not practice today. There's there's a long list of guys
Speaker 1: not available for the Jags today. Yeah, it's it's a week. Uh.
Speaker 1: Most teams at some point during the season go through
Speaker 1: a week like this. The Jacks went through a lot
Speaker 1: last year. Last year is what we called. But you're
Speaker 1: usually gonna hit a stretch like this where you've got
Speaker 1: some stuff that you hope it's not season ending. You
Speaker 1: hope you can get through it. I'm not sure I've
Speaker 1: ever quite seen a run on linebacker quite like this.
Speaker 1: I would anticipate Giles Harris getting a lot of reps
Speaker 1: because he's been around. This is a staff and a
Speaker 1: team that likes to go with what is familiar. So
Speaker 1: I would anticipate you seeing uh I a mile and
Speaker 1: and uh and and I Harris on the field. But
Speaker 1: these guys who got brought in this week, they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to play. I mean, it's it's gonna be an
Speaker 1: amazingly quick turnaround. H You would anticipate seeing even more
Speaker 1: nickel than usual. If if Jacobs is down, you can
Speaker 1: alleviate that by just playing in your nickel package. Jared
Speaker 1: Wilson is basically uh A a linebacker at times. He
Speaker 1: played it last week some, so you can you get
Speaker 1: by with that. But it's tough. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: you've got to get through it. Every's gonna focus on
Speaker 1: the Jets all week and how poorly they played against
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but considering the Jaguars injury lists, considering what
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to adapt to, UH, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be closer gain that people think. I think uh,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense is going to be playing a motivated
Speaker 1: Jets team that has not been as bad most of
Speaker 1: the season with Donald as it was on day Doug
Speaker 1: Marone discussing the linebacker position earlier today and his Wednesday
Speaker 1: press conference. To add a couple of guys, we switched
Speaker 1: out Perry and Joe Giles Harris from practice squad the roster,
Speaker 1: and then we brought Donald painback who be able to
Speaker 1: help us um know the system special teams wise, and
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Smith, another veteran player who's who's playing in
Speaker 1: the system. So obviously when you bring that many players in,
Speaker 1: I'd probably be listed as doubtful that any of those
Speaker 1: other three, you know, we'll be ready to play this week,
Speaker 1: even though they're obviously gonna try. Not good on that
Speaker 1: list as well, of course for this Jaguars team. I
Speaker 1: spoke with Joe Giles Harris in the locker room today.
Speaker 1: He was on the practice squad the first seven weeks
Speaker 1: of the season, brought up to the active roster. He's
Speaker 1: fired up for sure. Oh, keeping up him up with
Speaker 1: book and doing everything, doing the little things while I've
Speaker 1: been here, you know, hoping i'd get this chance, and
Speaker 1: I finally have it. So I'm ready to go. And
Speaker 1: like I said, and whatever capacity need, whatever they need
Speaker 1: man to play, I'll be ready to play. A lot
Speaker 1: of new faces out there today. Is that where it
Speaker 1: is where it's different. I mean, that's what the NFL is.
Speaker 1: You know, from the time I've been here, I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of faces come and go, and it's it's
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, a crazy, crazy thing, but uh,
Speaker 1: you get used to it, and you know, you know,
Speaker 1: just talking, you get guys in who are committing to
Speaker 1: a goal. So you know, we still got the core
Speaker 1: and you know, these new guys are gonna help us
Speaker 1: do what we've been doing. Miles Jack's still there, but
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces around. And that's what Jenna happens.
Speaker 1: And it's not just on the defensive side where this
Speaker 1: can affect things. I spoke with Josh Robinson in the
Speaker 1: locker room today. Special teams a cornerback, it can play
Speaker 1: safety too, but on the special teams here. You've got
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who may not have been around here. Now.
Speaker 1: Things change week to week on special teams and assignments
Speaker 1: and all that, but it's still and that's kind of
Speaker 1: somehow sometimes how it happens on special teams that part
Speaker 1: of the roster churns all during season. Well, it does,
Speaker 1: and it's why special teams coordinator such a difficult job.
Speaker 1: It's on a lot of teams, you're not getting guys
Speaker 1: even at the beginning of the season, uh, that you'll love,
Speaker 1: because some teams don't pay attention to This team does
Speaker 1: pay attention to special teams at the start of the season,
Speaker 1: so there's a priority on it. But this is the
Speaker 1: time of year where those guys have to adapt quickly.
Speaker 1: They have to put guys in spots that are really
Speaker 1: starters for them, uh. And they're playing with backups and
Speaker 1: guys who were just off the streets. So it's tough.
Speaker 1: It affects things. And then when you turn it over
Speaker 1: even to the offensive sideways, now have two positions that
Speaker 1: are really depleted. You have tight end and you have
Speaker 1: linebacker that are way down from what you thought it
Speaker 1: would be. And even at the start of the season, Frankly,
Speaker 1: those were not positions that on paper looked like great
Speaker 1: positions of strength with the starters or with depth. They
Speaker 1: were huge question marks going in and now they're major
Speaker 1: question marks. You've got a tight end position, now that
Speaker 1: is uh. You know you're counting on a rookie Josh
Speaker 1: Oliver to come back and play. You've got a linebacker
Speaker 1: position and where Miles Jack is frankly the one guy
Speaker 1: that any Jaguars fan would have heard of, Malcolm Smith,
Speaker 1: but you know at that point who had any relation
Speaker 1: to this team as of Monday. So it is uh.
Speaker 1: It is a tough situation that I usually believe you
Speaker 1: can get through certain injury spots without it affecting you much.
Speaker 1: There to the point of those two positions where it
Speaker 1: will affect and they have to overcome with formances somewhere
Speaker 1: else on your screen there that they have. Of the
Speaker 1: active tight ends, only set to Valve has a catch
Speaker 1: and that's one catch this year. The other two guys,
Speaker 1: I mean, they haven't been on the rush yet. It's
Speaker 1: not like sets been putting up numbers. I mean, so
Speaker 1: it's just not really his role though that has been
Speaker 1: a bleed blocker and then an extra, I mean, a
Speaker 1: tight end blocking. It's a lot to ask, but they
Speaker 1: need I would put the percentage is low at Josh
Speaker 1: Oliver making a huge contribution because it is just tough
Speaker 1: after being out ten weeks to come back as a rookie.
Speaker 1: You know, most rookie third rounders are trying to figure
Speaker 1: out the whole season. Now he's being asked to be
Speaker 1: like a focal point on Twitter, Josh Hollard, just Hollward Oliver.
Speaker 1: That's a tough ask, but they've got to get something
Speaker 1: out of it because otherwise the middle of the field
Speaker 1: on this offense, they're having trouble finding something to get
Speaker 1: going there. It's affecting the offense. Uh, you gotta think
Speaker 1: some of the red zones stuff is not having a
Speaker 1: tight end that you can rely on. Nobody's fault really,
Speaker 1: but they've got to get some production out there, and
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be interesting to see where that happens.
Speaker 1: Now we've we're talking about news that will affect this
Speaker 1: game this week obviously, but some news that could affect
Speaker 1: the Jaguars a couple of weeks away. The quarterback position.
Speaker 1: Nick Foles back at practice today and head coach Jug
Speaker 1: Maron was asked, what if Nick Foles is not ready
Speaker 1: for a week of eleven, what would happen? I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I really don't. I think that's why you have a
Speaker 1: twenty one day window, you know what I'm saying. For
Speaker 1: when the guy goes back and he starts practicing, I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm as concerned like when John said, Hey,
Speaker 1: what are you expecting? What are you looking for? I
Speaker 1: think this is just week one back. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: take it back very slowly, and I'll probably be, you know,
Speaker 1: looking at it more so as we get closer, you know,
Speaker 1: to see to see where he is. And I think
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of communication on you know, how
Speaker 1: you feel and what's going on. Little by little there
Speaker 1: you'll see some scout teams from seven on well we
Speaker 1: won't see it, but he'll have some scout team works
Speaker 1: from seven on seven, and then as the weeks go on,
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, we'll do more and more reps. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if you were slash reader may have heard me
Speaker 1: laughing there at Doug's comments. It's I laughed when he
Speaker 1: said it in the press conference. It's exactly right. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen a couple of weeks. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's exactly where we are in the
Speaker 1: whole story right now. What's gonna happen. This is still
Speaker 1: nearly three weeks out two games. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Minshew coming back. I mean, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna be Falst coming back started over Minshew. I think
Speaker 1: right now, if I had to lean one way, my
Speaker 1: guesses that's what they'll do. It feels like that is
Speaker 1: more likely. But it's not like I'm talking to Chance.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that's probably the way they go. Uh.
Speaker 1: You don't know about Minshew's healthy runs around a whole lot.
Speaker 1: You don't know about Fol's ability to stay healthy once
Speaker 1: he's back. So UM with this quarterback situation, and this
Speaker 1: is not just the case with Jaguars fans, it's every
Speaker 1: quarter situation always happens. People always want to who's going
Speaker 1: to start for the duration? Um, and that's what you
Speaker 1: want ideally. But right now, the good news for the
Speaker 1: Jaguars is they have two guys who they like, who
Speaker 1: they feel good about. And if you feel like you
Speaker 1: can win with um, I think right now, the best
Speaker 1: thing to approach is really there's gonna be a debate
Speaker 1: on the outside, but realize that this is going to
Speaker 1: be something that they maybe figure out as they go
Speaker 1: and it becomes a decision after that by and uh
Speaker 1: maybe not a wrong decision in there. So that uh,
Speaker 1: as I said a couple of times, isn't this just
Speaker 1: like the Jaguars jp to be choosing between a couple
Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks. It happens all the time. This problem
Speaker 1: is plagued this franchifix. Just get past that, then they
Speaker 1: can move forward. We did hear from quarterback Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: today around all of the situation with Nick Foles back
Speaker 1: on the field. He likes it. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: think we're they we're pretty good at quarterback. Nothing else,
Speaker 1: you know, like we got hopefully that's that's the case. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we love working together and let's see, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun. No, that's why, like
Speaker 1: we're all, like everybody in that room's worried about beating
Speaker 1: the Jets this week, and then next week is gonna
Speaker 1: beating the Texans, and then after that and they'll be
Speaker 1: and beating whoever else we play after the by So
Speaker 1: there's Gardner Minshew today and good spirits of course about
Speaker 1: the whole deal. That's really nothing. Nick hasn't been around here,
Speaker 1: but it's just different seen in back on the field,
Speaker 1: and that's real. I mean it's it's every quarterback every
Speaker 1: time he's been a controversy throughout the history of time. Um,
Speaker 1: what Gardner just said has been what has been said publicly. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're all on the same page the room, we're all
Speaker 1: about winning. But with these two, I don't pretend to
Speaker 1: know Nick that well. He just got here in marching
Speaker 1: Pintendo and Gardener that well. But I never heard anything
Speaker 1: to make me think that those guys wouldn't be supportive
Speaker 1: of each other. It's probably about as as good as
Speaker 1: situation as you could have to have two quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: that situation. Folds has proven over the length of his career,
Speaker 1: especially the last couple of years, that he can handle
Speaker 1: being the backup if he were to be Minshow you know,
Speaker 1: you've been around and I can't imagine it being a
Speaker 1: you know, they all want to play. Within the context
Speaker 1: of that being true, I think both these guys could
Speaker 1: handle it very well and be a positive. We'll hear
Speaker 1: from Leonard for that. He's scheduled to speak on Thursday,
Speaker 1: and it's all as we say each week, it's it's
Speaker 1: always interesting to see what he has to say. He's
Speaker 1: now leading the a f C and rushing and just
Speaker 1: talking to some of the offensive linemen today in the
Speaker 1: locker room, they feel like they have some little something
Speaker 1: going in the run game now, especially up front. It
Speaker 1: took him a little bit to get going as an offense,
Speaker 1: I think with that, and Leonard said that last week
Speaker 1: that he just, you know, he was a little bit
Speaker 1: there was something the first few weeks to just didn't
Speaker 1: he he didn't say slap for good his wording on
Speaker 1: it last week in the locker room in Cincinnati, but
Speaker 1: it just wasn't as good as it was the last
Speaker 1: three or four weeks. And now they've broken through here
Speaker 1: and you see the numbers on your screen what Leonard
Speaker 1: has done. But some of those guys up front said today, hey,
Speaker 1: we're finally starting to get in the groove. Even with
Speaker 1: some of the changes up front that they've had the
Speaker 1: rotating guards on the right side and Cam in and
Speaker 1: out of the lineup on the left side. It's just
Speaker 1: taken a little while, but it's finally starting to get
Speaker 1: moving on offense. Well, it would have struggled for a time.
Speaker 1: You had John Taylor's a rookie camerabin and didn't play
Speaker 1: last year, come off from a c L. None of
Speaker 1: them played together during preseason. Even if they had played
Speaker 1: during preseason, they don't play enough games anymore to get
Speaker 1: continuity in the running game early. You also had a
Speaker 1: tight end situation. Swain was new, Oliver was new. Uh
Speaker 1: Swain I believe missed some time during the preseason if
Speaker 1: I remember, and so it was it was. It was foolhardy,
Speaker 1: if you will, to think they were going to come
Speaker 1: out and be as good Week one as they might
Speaker 1: be in Week six or seven. Doug sort of hinted
Speaker 1: at this a couple of weeks back after I think
Speaker 1: it was after the week six after New Orleans, where
Speaker 1: he thought, you know, he was seeing stuff on tape
Speaker 1: that he liked. When there were breakdowns, it was one guy,
Speaker 1: not the whole thing. People kind of pooh pooed that
Speaker 1: and said, oh, well, you should be better. One breakdown
Speaker 1: is enough to kill a whole running game. All that's true,
Speaker 1: But Doug doesn't use the both smoke and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And you can tell in the results, you can tell
Speaker 1: how hard Leonards running. I said this a few times, JP.
Speaker 1: Somewhere during Minshe Mania. You remember you were caught up
Speaker 1: in Minshe Mania. Remember they were yeah, I mean, but
Speaker 1: you were out. You were out in the bars mish
Speaker 1: man uh. And then there was the Ramsey thing that
Speaker 1: we were all caught up in. Somewhere during all that,
Speaker 1: for Net got really really good and became the player
Speaker 1: that they drafted, and they got back to being the
Speaker 1: team they wanted to be, which this seems always wanted
Speaker 1: to be a running team during all that other stuff.
Speaker 1: They they got the offense to what they wanted it
Speaker 1: to be. Now let's see I they can go forward
Speaker 1: with it. But all of a sudden, he's the number
Speaker 1: four overall, picking the draft that you drafted, leading the
Speaker 1: a f C and rushing sort of the identity of
Speaker 1: the team. And before those two storyline started developing, you know,
Speaker 1: in week two when we went into that phase, you'd
Speaker 1: never thought that had been the case six weeks later.
Speaker 1: So while we weren't looking, he became the guy you
Speaker 1: weren't looking. J. I don't think anybody was. Everybody was
Speaker 1: distracted by everything else. Yeah, credit to him because as
Speaker 1: we've gone over and over on this show, you would
Speaker 1: have never thought on August one that Leonard Fornett be
Speaker 1: leaving the league in rushing, that he'd be basically a
Speaker 1: team leader. Yeah, the team leader that I think they
Speaker 1: wanted him to be last year when he was captain. Uh,
Speaker 1: every sort of lampooned him being the captain last years,
Speaker 1: all the stuff he went through, Well he was the captain.
Speaker 1: Now you wouldn't blink an eye at You'd think good choice.
Speaker 1: So he's the guy now that they hoped he'd be
Speaker 1: all along. And credit to him because I didn't think
Speaker 1: he could do plenty to discuss in this program. Will
Speaker 1: come back in a moment with the FC South standings
Speaker 1: and the schedule ahead of in the division. This week,
Speaker 1: we'll get our players to watch as well. We'll hear
Speaker 1: from Jimmy Luck. That's a little later. We'll get the
Speaker 1: unveil of the uniforms for this week, and Chris Connelly,

Speaker 1: Osier Jack's Jets coming up Sunday, Sunday Sunday at t
Speaker 1: i A A bank Field to the Game this week,
Speaker 1: presented by Baptist Health, Changing Healthcare for Good. It's time
Speaker 1: this part of the program. Each week we pick our
Speaker 1: players to watch. You know, you get all the guys
Speaker 1: we talked about to open the show for Nat and
Speaker 1: Menshew and d J Charksley and the a f C
Speaker 1: and Receiving and those are the big flashy names. Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna dig. We're not dig a little deeper. We're
Speaker 1: giving some other players to watch. Actually no, because one
Speaker 1: of mine's DJ chark that's fine. Well, that's okay, or
Speaker 1: charr Right, you can pick one of the flashy guys
Speaker 1: if you can. That's the point. You can pick whoever
Speaker 1: you want. So, John, who are yours? Well, I've always
Speaker 1: scored the lead DJ charks one, um uh, and I
Speaker 1: picked him because although you say he's flashy guy, and
Speaker 1: he is. Uh. He has been limited the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, uh by basically what happens in the NFL.
Speaker 1: He he had five good games, five really good games. Uh.
Speaker 1: Teams watched film and said, okay, we're gonna take this
Speaker 1: element of the Jaguars away. We're gonna take Shark's ability
Speaker 1: to win athletically. We went with the speed. We're gonna
Speaker 1: double him over the top of the safety high wear
Speaker 1: on both sides of the field and take that away. Well,
Speaker 1: it's worked, and last week you saw the first inklings
Speaker 1: DJ Charks taking away what should happen. Chris Connery should
Speaker 1: start winning and d D Westbrooks, you have more opportunities.
Speaker 1: That happened. So now I would expect teams to realize
Speaker 1: that they have to take those things away too, And
Speaker 1: I would expect DJ Chark over the course of time
Speaker 1: to start learning more how to beat that coverage. Uh,
Speaker 1: there are ways to beat any coverage. The great ones
Speaker 1: start beating it. So I would expect DJ to start
Speaker 1: bouncing back. And uh, I think this is a week
Speaker 1: where he could do that. That just takes repetition and
Speaker 1: doing it in games and and figuring it out. Somebody
Speaker 1: can tell it to you, obviously, you know, Keenan McCardell
Speaker 1: can tell him how to do it, but you just
Speaker 1: gotta go try to do it. It also, realistly takes
Speaker 1: some patience. I mean it's it's as a young number.
Speaker 1: You know. It's why early on in the season with
Speaker 1: everybody said always the one heis and one he's and one, Well,
Speaker 1: it usually takes receivers three or four years to get
Speaker 1: to a point where they're a true one because you've
Speaker 1: got to get through phases like this. You've got to
Speaker 1: learn how to beat these things. Um So I think
Speaker 1: what will happen is if they keep doing this defense,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars say, that's fine, we'll hit DJ a few times,
Speaker 1: keep Ryan, but we'll also take Westbrook and Connelly and
Speaker 1: we'll win there as well. So the team will be
Speaker 1: fine doing that, as they showed last week. So I
Speaker 1: expect DJ to start beating that a little more a
Speaker 1: little more each week, and to start benefiting from teams
Speaker 1: looking at Connley and Westbrook defensively. I found this one
Speaker 1: fairly interesting because earlier in the year this guy was
Speaker 1: taking a lot of heat, and then he's turned it
Speaker 1: around a little bit as the last few weeks were gone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's Tavin Bryan who had his best game the
Speaker 1: other day, and most people who follow the Jacks would
Speaker 1: I realized what he did without Taven's pressure the unique
Speaker 1: and got way pick six doesn't happen. He forced that,
Speaker 1: but he also did other things. He had four or
Speaker 1: five plays where he really showed up. The reason I
Speaker 1: picked him for this is, I don't know. It seems
Speaker 1: doubtful with Marcel Darius going to Philadelphia for treatment today,
Speaker 1: it would seem doubtful that Marcel is a place Sunday
Speaker 1: he's a hundred percent, etcetera, etcetera. Uh, they have needed
Speaker 1: all along with Marcel contract indicating that there's a good
Speaker 1: chance he wouldn't be back next year. They need Taven
Speaker 1: to develop and become a force in the inside. It's
Speaker 1: why he was drafted. Well now with him hurt, what
Speaker 1: an ideal time if what we saw last week is real,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it takes time for that to be consistent.
Speaker 1: But Tavin Bryan is important because if Marcel is not
Speaker 1: playing all of a sudden, you get a lot thinner
Speaker 1: there and you need playmaking there. Taven did it last week,
Speaker 1: needs to do it again. All right. You have DJ
Speaker 1: Track Taven Brian two very nice choices. Appreciate that I
Speaker 1: like those. Miles Jack for me on defense, we could
Speaker 1: pict any of the new names if you wanted to,
Speaker 1: or Giles Harris, the rookie, But I'm one of Miles
Speaker 1: jack because he's gonna keep all that together. Um, there
Speaker 1: may the only other be one other linebacker on the
Speaker 1: field at one point in the where they play with
Speaker 1: a nickel and all that stuff. But for Miles to
Speaker 1: get these moving parts things in the right order. If
Speaker 1: for some reason they're more than that out there, then
Speaker 1: he's going to get them in the right place. So
Speaker 1: for me, Myles Jackie had an interception last week on
Speaker 1: a fantastic play in Cincinnati. How can he keep this
Speaker 1: group going? I think it's a big focus. Clowning would
Speaker 1: be good at this point, I bounced off a couple
Speaker 1: of people. They say, a good idea. He's the only
Speaker 1: guy that you've heard of. It's healthy and uh so
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think he's an important guy
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. Um, he hasn't played as
Speaker 1: poorly as observers believe. He had a bad play against Carolina.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, breakouts. A lot of his issue has
Speaker 1: been trying to make up for youth around him. Uh
Speaker 1: that went away a little bit. If you notice when
Speaker 1: Nazi Good was playing, all of a sudden, Miles started
Speaker 1: playing better. Well, now, he's back to where it's as
Speaker 1: difficult as part of the season has been. On that
Speaker 1: front form it gets even more difficult. So I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I was going to pick my miles and
Speaker 1: tough out. You picked Myles for this because it's a
Speaker 1: it is very important that you play well. It's very
Speaker 1: important that he keep the people around him on the
Speaker 1: same page. And against a guy like Levy on Bell
Speaker 1: whose m o is patients, make you jump out of
Speaker 1: your lanes, defensively, make you miss, he really exploits what
Speaker 1: they have done poorly. At times. He can hurt you
Speaker 1: if you jump out of your lane. So is going
Speaker 1: to be up two miles to a stay discipline and
Speaker 1: keep the people around him disciplined. The Jets, there's not
Speaker 1: that much they can hurt you offensively. That can can
Speaker 1: can pick you apart if you let him. And then
Speaker 1: other one we we kind of foreshadowed it earlier. The
Speaker 1: tight end position. Only one catch among the active tight
Speaker 1: ends right now Seth de Valve, and he's the fullback
Speaker 1: most times. Um and talking to him in the locker
Speaker 1: room today. It's kind of how a lot of these,
Speaker 1: some of the tight ends in the League of gone
Speaker 1: and a lot of teams don't have a true fullback anymore,
Speaker 1: so you put an h back back there, and that's
Speaker 1: what Seth de Valve has been a lot of times
Speaker 1: for this team. But you have to be able to
Speaker 1: run the route tree as a tight end and block
Speaker 1: outside and block in the backfield, and you know, there's
Speaker 1: only a few guys that are really able to do
Speaker 1: all of that in the league. Koyak has been around
Speaker 1: here for a bit, but he was signed off the
Speaker 1: street in Week six after the Oshaughnessy injury, and then
Speaker 1: Josh Oliver made his debut last week but was not targeted.
Speaker 1: He was fantastic in the offseason program, but he's been
Speaker 1: hurt the entire training camp and into the season. So
Speaker 1: he's back and he get moving after the Jeff Swain
Speaker 1: injured reserve move, We'll see. This is a big obviously,
Speaker 1: We've talked about it already. It's a huge question mark
Speaker 1: for this offense. It would help in the red zone,
Speaker 1: it would help over the middle of the field and
Speaker 1: help balance things out if they can get some production
Speaker 1: in the passing game from these guys. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: reached a point where it's glaring and it's reached a
Speaker 1: point where it feels like there's only one answer, and
Speaker 1: that's Josh Oliver right now, let's take a trade for
Speaker 1: somebody next week. Uh, it feels like that's the only answer.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if we have any idea what
Speaker 1: that answer is yet. And it's a tough spot. I
Speaker 1: don't know where the improvement comes from, and if it
Speaker 1: doesn't come from Josh, and I think it's uh, it's
Speaker 1: almost unfair to him to expect him to lift something
Speaker 1: this heavy, no doubt. And so it seems like depending
Speaker 1: on what happens this weekend, depend on how he plays
Speaker 1: and what they can do, they may be in the
Speaker 1: market next week, sort of out of desperation at that spot. Uh.
Speaker 1: It hasn't been there m O. But it's it's it's
Speaker 1: a really difficult spot that I'm not sure they dig
Speaker 1: out of without some outside help. They might might have
Speaker 1: to go make a move and do something and we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens with that. There's there are players to watch.
Speaker 1: I had Miles Jack and the tight end position, so
Speaker 1: I guess that's technically four guys, and you had d J.
Speaker 1: Shark and Tavin Bryan. Good choices. I was talking about mine,
Speaker 1: but okay, let's yours were good to John. Let's take
Speaker 1: a look at the ANFC South standings. Where did the
Speaker 1: team stand after a week? Number seven? And the Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Colts are now in first place at four and two,
Speaker 1: Houston four and three, the Jags and the Titans in
Speaker 1: that order. Of course, the Jags get the Texans next
Speaker 1: week in London. All of these teams coming up this
Speaker 1: week though, as we look at the week eight schedule,
Speaker 1: they're all at home this week. Broncos at the Colts,
Speaker 1: of course, Jets are here in Jacksonville, the Bucks of
Speaker 1: the Titans, and the Raiders at the Texans, all home
Speaker 1: games in the a f C South Broncos game. You know,
Speaker 1: they have the defense too, and some parts on that
Speaker 1: defense as we saw at times, to to do some things.
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers, if Jamis doesn't throw five interceptions, they can
Speaker 1: hang in there. And the Raiders are the Raiders, they
Speaker 1: can hang in there too. Yeah. It feels to me
Speaker 1: right now like you've reached a point with the Texans
Speaker 1: and the Colts. You can't let them get further away.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna reel them back in, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to do it with your own fishing rody, you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna have to beat him. And uh. So
Speaker 1: with the Colts, I would say, don't lose, don't lose
Speaker 1: any more ground in the lost column. You've got them twice.
Speaker 1: There's no reason that you can't beat that team. You've
Speaker 1: matched up even in years where you've struggled, you've matched
Speaker 1: up well against this team. Last year when the Colts
Speaker 1: were really hot, you beat him. Uh, you should have
Speaker 1: beaten him up there. So the Cults are not ungettable,
Speaker 1: but you've got to not let them gain any more
Speaker 1: ground when you're not in the same field with them.
Speaker 1: So Uh, with the a f C South, right after
Speaker 1: the Jags, uh win some games. You haven't played your
Speaker 1: way completely out of it. You've got three games left
Speaker 1: against the leaders. Uh. You know you follow baseball JP.
Speaker 1: That's there's no magic numbers uh involved that you can
Speaker 1: still go get them to start winning, start winning your
Speaker 1: own games, and then let the season playoff as it will. Um,
Speaker 1: you're having our look around the a FC South in
Speaker 1: week number eight, coming up at Dailies Place. Busy schedule Bastille,

Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group,
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick, John Osier and that music. Each week means
Speaker 1: it's time for Jimmy luck had equipment manager. What's happen?
Speaker 1: What's up man? How are you just getting ready a
Speaker 1: home game, A big home game, not a little one.
Speaker 1: Big it's huge because I mean, guess it's the last
Speaker 1: game in the stadiule that obviously, but it's the last
Speaker 1: game in the stadium for the Jaguars until December. Think
Speaker 1: about that for a while. You gotta take advantage of
Speaker 1: these home games. It's news for you. You'll be doing
Speaker 1: a lot of travel. Yeah, decided about that. There's a
Speaker 1: bye week in there. I'm pretty pumped about. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that bye week's coming up. But one, one week at
Speaker 1: a time. Exactly what's the hat this week? I see
Speaker 1: there's a crucial catch this week. Okay, pretty cool? Yeah
Speaker 1: like that. And they used to do just the breast
Speaker 1: cancer awareness. Now it's all so everybody has their own
Speaker 1: their own thing. That's pretty cool. And how much gear
Speaker 1: is they're involved within Now it's just hats now. Thanks.
Speaker 1: You used to be um have like the QB towels,
Speaker 1: some gloves, some pleats, um sweatshirts. Although it may it
Speaker 1: may be a little warm for sweatshirts this week, but
Speaker 1: hopefully it won't rain. Because for a while, when it
Speaker 1: was first breast cancer awareness, it was mainly breast cancer.
Speaker 1: It was it was like a lot of paint. So
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day. Um, on
Speaker 1: Sunday when the Niners played in Washington in the horrible
Speaker 1: rain conditions. In Washington is noted for not having the
Speaker 1: best surface around as the season goes on, especially but
Speaker 1: in a swamp like that. As an equipment manager, I
Speaker 1: feel bad for those guys. Yeah, when you're going into that, anybody,
Speaker 1: you know what's coming, and but you have to get
Speaker 1: the team prepared as well. Different kind of cleats, different
Speaker 1: spikes explain the process of getting ready for a game
Speaker 1: like that and then the aftermath of a game like that,
Speaker 1: well it's not fun. Um. Actually, footing was was quite
Speaker 1: an issue there. Um. We anytime we play on a
Speaker 1: grass surface, we take the screw ins um seven studs
Speaker 1: some people call them, but basically you can take the
Speaker 1: cleats out and adjusted. You know. However, the link there's
Speaker 1: a couple of different links. So many would that be?
Speaker 1: Would that be a set for every shoe you have
Speaker 1: with you? I mean, is it that many? Yeah? So
Speaker 1: what we we pretty much have them set up with
Speaker 1: because there's the low one which is a half inch,
Speaker 1: and then there's five eights. We pretty much pack them
Speaker 1: in the trunk at five eights because if you're wearing
Speaker 1: half inch, you're probably gonna wear your molded your regular
Speaker 1: molded bottom shoes. So that's why we pull that out.
Speaker 1: But there's some guys that will wear um maybe like
Speaker 1: a special pattern on there, like you know kind of
Speaker 1: we call the diamond pattern where it's more in the forefront,
Speaker 1: and say, I need to switch there's a guy screwing
Speaker 1: in the fleets, right, Yeah, So we got like a
Speaker 1: little pit crew with the gun of the uh the
Speaker 1: drill gun there and we get it going. So that's
Speaker 1: why how much time does it take to switch out?
Speaker 1: Like is it? Um? It's it's pretty you know, I
Speaker 1: haven't timed ourselves late m Most guys don't like wearing them,
Speaker 1: but octually, when we got to London, that will be
Speaker 1: a big jo um. So we'll have them and you know,
Speaker 1: we try to encourage the guys to at least put
Speaker 1: the shoes on and wear them so that way, even
Speaker 1: if they adjust the link, as long as they have
Speaker 1: them on, that's a little bit easier switching them out
Speaker 1: than have to take it off, especially if they've taped
Speaker 1: up on the outside of their shoes. Like it takes
Speaker 1: a little bit. So yeah, and you don't that you
Speaker 1: don't have that much time sometimes on the sidelines. That's right. Well,
Speaker 1: that's why we encourage them during pregame warm ups to
Speaker 1: go out there and test it and see what they got.
Speaker 1: There's always a couple that don't listen to you. Oh,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt that works. Sometimes you can take them
Speaker 1: to water, that's right. You can't make him drink it.
Speaker 1: Let's see, all right. So it's a home game coming up.
Speaker 1: It's week number eight. It's the last home game in
Speaker 1: Jacksonville for a while. So with that mind, what will
Speaker 1: the Jaguars wear this week against the New York Jets?
Speaker 1: What you got for us? Jimmy who? We got the
Speaker 1: white pants. We've been wearing those a lot a little bit.
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna go with the teal Jersey teal
Speaker 1: at home again. We got the payer of the Special
Speaker 1: Player of the week. They're Jersey. He's been perfect this
Speaker 1: year and um he is the f C Special Teams
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Like's bringing donuts in for us,
Speaker 1: that's nice? Does he really tell? It's right there? Well? There,
Speaker 1: you know that's what that's what it takes to get
Speaker 1: the jersey on the show sometimes, right, teal Over White,
Speaker 1: I like it. Good home look for the Jacksonville Jaguars
Speaker 1: is week, Yes they do. Yes, it should be a nice,
Speaker 1: nice weather weekend, hopefully. I mean there's a little chance
Speaker 1: of rain, but maybe we'll hopefully just be partly cloudy,
Speaker 1: won't be as hot, cool it off a little bit
Speaker 1: around Finally, it'd be nice. But I mean that I'm
Speaker 1: sure we'll still get an eighty five day here or there.
Speaker 1: Won't get that in London next week. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: that it'll be a little cool. Looking ahead a little bit,
Speaker 1: it looks like it's uh mid fifties as the high
Speaker 1: mid forties, as a low rain rain rain a little
Speaker 1: during the week during the week. See what happens on Sunday, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: thank you, always good to see you, teal Over White.
Speaker 1: For the Jaguars at home this week against the New
Speaker 1: York Jets, there's a good look at D. D. Westbrook,
Speaker 1: who hopefully will get in the end zone this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the receiver's been playing well overall. Last week. They spread
Speaker 1: the wealth a little bit, a little touchdown to all right,
Speaker 1: he did, he did, and we're gonna hear from Chris
Speaker 1: Conley coming up, who had a big handed last week's Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had a big game, a big like forty seven
Speaker 1: yard or in the second half of the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: big play to get him down close. So he's coming up. Jimmy,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you a headcooner manager Jimmy Luck joining us.

Speaker 1: Coming up Chris Conley and a guest to be named.
Speaker 1: Once meetings are done, they'll join us here in studio
Speaker 1: and we will get some thoughts on last week's matchup
Speaker 1: and look ahead to this week's game against the Jets.
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what this as we talked about earlier,
Speaker 1: what this offense can do. And they put up fo
Speaker 1: sixty yards last week. It's not like they didn't move
Speaker 1: the ball. They didn't have great starting field position early
Speaker 1: in that game in Cincinnati, they like their own sixteen
Speaker 1: in the first half was the average starting field position,
Speaker 1: and they just when they stalled out, they had to
Speaker 1: punt away and you know, they're out gaining by two
Speaker 1: yards of Bengals and ended up trailing at the half.
Speaker 1: And then they found a little bit more in the
Speaker 1: in the second half, and um, of course, the turnovers
Speaker 1: help when you get some extra possessions. So can they
Speaker 1: get it established early? Can they do something early? It's
Speaker 1: been a talking point for a few weeks around here.
Speaker 1: If they can just get in the end zone early.
Speaker 1: They were a yard away from it on the opening
Speaker 1: drive last, And I think that's what you know when
Speaker 1: you analyze football like this, sometimes you sort of get
Speaker 1: into um. You're looking at things, you're saying, well, it
Speaker 1: felt like they were struggling in the first half. It
Speaker 1: felt like boy and I got out of tweets, Oh
Speaker 1: they're they're playing lousy. What's wrong with this team? Well,
Speaker 1: it was really a different than one you hard was
Speaker 1: the perception of that game. Meaning you drive the length
Speaker 1: of the field in in a beautiful, efficient drive with
Speaker 1: the first drive, if you score there, if Leonard gains
Speaker 1: one in staid of loses one, you're up seven nothing.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, when you get the field goal
Speaker 1: later on your ten nothing and you feel like you're
Speaker 1: in control rather than holding your breath in one play away.
Speaker 1: So I'm not diminishing. In fact, they didn't score in
Speaker 1: the red zone. They must do that better, because in
Speaker 1: this league, if you don't get out, if you don't
Speaker 1: get points out of your opportunities, you leave yourself open
Speaker 1: to getting beat. But this was not a case of
Speaker 1: the Jaguars being dysfunctional for sixty minutes offensively against a
Speaker 1: lesser team. It was a matter of then struggling on
Speaker 1: a few plays in the red zone. They had what
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy yard for I mean somewhere in
Speaker 1: the fours, and they had I can think of at
Speaker 1: least three or four long drives and didn't field goal. Well,
Speaker 1: the bad news is you didn't score touchdowns. But the
Speaker 1: good news is you were moving efficiently. They were running.
Speaker 1: They had hundred and thirty yards uh rushing. So I
Speaker 1: don't think it was as atrocious and offensive effort as
Speaker 1: some of my email or some of our closet analysts
Speaker 1: tend to think. Is not a bad day at the office. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let's not go overboard and think, oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of deficiencies right now. Offensively, they couldn't
Speaker 1: do anything. It's a bad they struggled in the red zone,
Speaker 1: and that was the difference between you feeling great this
Speaker 1: week and you're being concerned. You've got to get that fixed,
Speaker 1: but the tools are there to fix it. I'm really
Speaker 1: impressed with the wide receivers on this team, JP, and
Speaker 1: I know we talked about that. When Chris gets in here,
Speaker 1: they've gone Yeah, they've gone from being a team that
Speaker 1: you wondered what was going on a wide receiver in
Speaker 1: the offseason to now, Um, the bad news is they've
Speaker 1: taken Chart away for a couple of weeks. Well, the
Speaker 1: good news is the other day you had two guys
Speaker 1: step up in his place, and all four of the
Speaker 1: wide receivers in that game made plays. You remember Cole
Speaker 1: caught the touchdown, Westbrook obviously had a hundred yard day.
Speaker 1: Conny sets up the game winning or the game I
Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown, catches a two point conversion, and even
Speaker 1: DJ when he shut down, has a play that goes
Speaker 1: and sets up a field goal, the one where he
Speaker 1: got tight ropes down the sidelines. Um, I don't know
Speaker 1: that you can remember that many games since we've been
Speaker 1: here together, JP where you had four receivers make big
Speaker 1: plays and feel like they were all capable of doing
Speaker 1: that on a given something. You know there they're okay
Speaker 1: at receiver and as they get better, I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna see them. Remember you're only seven games into the scheme.
Speaker 1: You're still playing with young quarterbacks. If they had a
Speaker 1: tight end, boy wouldn't they be uh efficient in that area.
Speaker 1: But the receivers, I think have a chance to keep
Speaker 1: taking steps and they feel more reliable than I thought
Speaker 1: they would during the off season. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: think through that that comment you just made there about
Speaker 1: since we've been here. I've been here since you were
Speaker 1: a year before that, and the closest I can come
Speaker 1: was Cecil Shortz and Justin Blackman. But I can't remember
Speaker 1: anybody else of that caliber. You know that that that
Speaker 1: balanced before right now that you feel pretty good about it.
Speaker 1: And I know Chris had a couple of games in
Speaker 1: a row where he hadn't done much. But you know, again,
Speaker 1: a lot of what's been going on early there's still
Speaker 1: a small sample size to seven year. You know, now
Speaker 1: you're getting to the point where there's a sample size,
Speaker 1: and early on you gotta remember they're playing with a quarterback.
Speaker 1: When Gardner first went in, they had no idea what
Speaker 1: he could do. What he did well, They didn't know
Speaker 1: what the They were just hoping to put a game
Speaker 1: plan together that the could gets the first downs. That
Speaker 1: for you know, that's realistically when you've got a rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback you know anything about. So it's only now that
Speaker 1: they're getting in to a situation where okay, here's what
Speaker 1: these guys do well, Here's what Chris does well, Here's
Speaker 1: what they do well together. They don't have any uh
Speaker 1: institutional memory on that yet, so they're just developing that
Speaker 1: so interesting group, the wide receiver, and I'm curiously what
Speaker 1: they can do over the next month. The other duo
Speaker 1: obviously Alan Hearns and Allen Robinson, but there wasn't really
Speaker 1: a third hurt now. Yeah, so it's interesting. Our regular
Speaker 1: co host teaching every Wednesday on Jaguars Happy Our presented
Speaker 1: by the Fields Auto Group, is Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley. Hello, Chris,
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm doing well, doing really well. Uh
Speaker 1: you know, I had a wonderful guest for the show
Speaker 1: today and he just decided to walk out of the
Speaker 1: building and, uh, you know, not come on the show today.
Speaker 1: So I apologize if I throw a lot of shade
Speaker 1: in his direction today. But you know, he he had
Speaker 1: a great game this weekend, really clutch catch, you know,
Speaker 1: the only one of you know, the receiving touchdown of
Speaker 1: the game, and it was just it was a big play,
Speaker 1: a lot of momentum. You know, I won't name his name,
Speaker 1: but you know he likes to make acrobatic one handed catches,
Speaker 1: and you know he's a fan favorite, and you know
Speaker 1: he might wear the number eighty four, and you know,
Speaker 1: you know his name might Ryan with right. Okay, but
Speaker 1: you know he walked out just about like thirty seconds ago.
Speaker 1: I couldn't I can't put my finger on it. I
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, at this point I've probably forgotten
Speaker 1: who it is too. That's okay, maybe another time, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe the good news here JP, this is a week
Speaker 1: where if Chris had come in and said, I'm bringing
Speaker 1: Chris Connley is my guest you've been happy with? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because a big game the other day for you. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess thank you. I appreciate that. I thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you for justifying this. You know, I'm kind of bumped.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bummed. We were never bummed to have
Speaker 1: you here, so we don't need for a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know this was It was a good getting back
Speaker 1: on track week for us. I think it was good
Speaker 1: getting on back on track week for the whole team.
Speaker 1: You know, really, uh we we had some good plays
Speaker 1: made across the board, defense with the turnovers, spectacular day offense,
Speaker 1: starting the game off fast with some rhythm moving the ball,
Speaker 1: not necessarily scoring, but moving the ball um down the
Speaker 1: field and really setting the tempo for the day and
Speaker 1: overcoming some questionable fuel position starts to really get going
Speaker 1: eventually and UM and finish finished on the day. UM.
Speaker 1: So it was it was a you know, not necessarily pretty,
Speaker 1: but it was necessary for us. You know, we were
Speaker 1: just talking about this, John and about the depth of
Speaker 1: the receiver room here and comparing it to some past
Speaker 1: receiver rooms we've had around here at least, And the
Speaker 1: only kind of do I could think of a while
Speaker 1: back was and since we've been here eight years or so,
Speaker 1: UM was blackman with cecil shorts. They both had big years,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't really a third or fourth guy. And
Speaker 1: then Alan Robinson and Alan Hearns, but Marquis was hurt
Speaker 1: back then a lot. Now it's if DJ has covered up,
Speaker 1: you're here, obviously d DS here, Keelan Cole can step
Speaker 1: in and catch a touchdown and contribute. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a a group that in the training camp we wouldn't
Speaker 1: really see it yet on the field, now you're starting
Speaker 1: to see across the board guys in this receiver room
Speaker 1: can make place. Yeah, you know, I think that guys
Speaker 1: in this room really had a lot of faith in
Speaker 1: the talent in the room. We had a lot of
Speaker 1: faith in the speed in the room. We have a
Speaker 1: lot of faith in the coachability of the room. You know,
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, offenses have to change because
Speaker 1: defenses pick up keys, they start to double people, they
Speaker 1: do things differently, and you have to be able to
Speaker 1: adjust on the fly. And we've really been uh high
Speaker 1: on the fact that even though it's a young group,
Speaker 1: these guys can adjust, They can adjust quickly, and they
Speaker 1: can adjust during a game and still be effective given
Speaker 1: whatever situation the defense presents us. I thought the other day, Chris,
Speaker 1: that you're forty seven yard reception obviously a big play
Speaker 1: because of the length, But when play happened, I thought
Speaker 1: to myself, this is why you bring a veteran receiver
Speaker 1: to a team to make a play in that situation
Speaker 1: when the team absolutely needed it. Um, does that kind
Speaker 1: of thing go through your mind at all before a
Speaker 1: play like that or in a moment like that of aga,
Speaker 1: I'm the veteran, it is ball comes to me, I
Speaker 1: gotta step up? Or are you always just think about
Speaker 1: making a point? Does that does that resonate with you?
Speaker 1: I think a little bit of that resonates with me.
Speaker 1: One of the things that was being set on the
Speaker 1: sideline for like five to ten minutes before that play
Speaker 1: actually took place was Keenan mccardo was walking by our
Speaker 1: bench and saying, Hey, it's gonna come down to us.
Speaker 1: You know, the game was close and was pretty tight,
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, someone's gonna have to make a play.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a play that's gonna really get the
Speaker 1: ball rolling for us, and it's gonna change the momentum
Speaker 1: of this game. Um. And so that was in the
Speaker 1: back of my head saying, you know, if there's an opportunity,
Speaker 1: we gotta make a play, we gotta make a play.
Speaker 1: Whoever it is in our room has to make a play.
Speaker 1: It starts and ends with us in the receiver room.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that's in my head is,
Speaker 1: you know, there's not that many opportunities out there. You know,
Speaker 1: it's some some offenses they throw the ball all game
Speaker 1: and you know guys can get seven catches, eight catches,
Speaker 1: you know, ten targets a game. But that's just not
Speaker 1: the case here. Still let the ball pass up exactly
Speaker 1: because you know, you you know you might get a couple.
Speaker 1: I had three, and Um on each of those, I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: catch this ball, secure it and run and get as
Speaker 1: many yards as you can because you know, they just
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes they come in bunches and sometimes there
Speaker 1: sparse And it seemed on that play as soon as
Speaker 1: you caught the ball, I know you're always thinking about it,
Speaker 1: I want to turn this into more, but on that
Speaker 1: play there was it was a determination to turn it
Speaker 1: into as much more as you could. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I just saw the defense in the way that they
Speaker 1: were shifted. I knew I was singled up everybody else
Speaker 1: on the other side of the field, and I saw
Speaker 1: there was a gap. Um was able to squeeze through it.
Speaker 1: Great ball by Garner. Awesome play call. Uh, you know
Speaker 1: we've been that's the perfect look for that play call.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a really a run pass option, UM,
Speaker 1: and he pulled it through it. Glad that he did,
Speaker 1: and we were able to get the ball down into
Speaker 1: the red zone inside the tent. So you know, it
Speaker 1: was huge play for us. But in that situation, you know,
Speaker 1: the only thing on my mind is make it count.
Speaker 1: And now that we're seven or eight games into gardener
Speaker 1: um with some perspective on what he's done. How big
Speaker 1: of a challenge and a transition where those first few
Speaker 1: weeks when you're trying to get used to a kid
Speaker 1: who's coming in you've been working with Nick basically, I
Speaker 1: assume you didn't have much rep uh many rest with
Speaker 1: Gardener during the training camp. How big of a transition
Speaker 1: with was that for the receivers for maybe those first
Speaker 1: two or three weeks just getting used to that and
Speaker 1: knowing what he was going to do, well, you know
Speaker 1: it was it was an adjustment for some of us.
Speaker 1: You know, I hadn't gotten any reps with Gardner until
Speaker 1: he was in that game. You know, I had thrown
Speaker 1: with him in warming up and really that was about it.
Speaker 1: But up until that point I really thought of it
Speaker 1: from this angle. I thought that most of the adjusting
Speaker 1: was gonna take place on his end, and so the
Speaker 1: way I approached it was saying, Hey, if there's anything
Speaker 1: that I can do to make this kid feel comfortable,
Speaker 1: and you know, you saw some of that in the
Speaker 1: first game with Kansas City, Just give him an outlet
Speaker 1: when he doesn't know where to go with the ball.
Speaker 1: Just be able to dump it off to somebody and
Speaker 1: make something positive happen. And we're able to make some
Speaker 1: of those plays happen. And then you know, you see
Speaker 1: the developing relationship with d J. Chark and with d
Speaker 1: us Brook and he begins to get comfortable with people
Speaker 1: around him. But really that was our our approach to it,
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, this young guy is going to be
Speaker 1: thrown into some situations that he might not have been
Speaker 1: prepared for. But in that in those situations, make up
Speaker 1: the slack form be there. If the timing is off
Speaker 1: on something, make it up. If he's not really sure
Speaker 1: about something, make it happen, make it work anyway. And
Speaker 1: I think the guys in the receiver room did a
Speaker 1: really good job of that. And now, um, you know,
Speaker 1: we have all the confidence in the world. And kid
Speaker 1: Chris Kinnley with a Jaguars wide receiver each Wednesday, I'm
Speaker 1: Jaguars happy. Are yes, John? We should ask him some
Speaker 1: questions as Keel and Cole, Oh yeah, that's a grand
Speaker 1: so he and I hope you're watching Solan you uh
Speaker 1: the the ball that was thrown for a touchdown your way,
Speaker 1: It looked like he came back to it give us
Speaker 1: an idea of what you saw when the ball was
Speaker 1: in the end. Well, you know, I was running a
Speaker 1: corner route, simple high low read off the corners and
Speaker 1: the inside safety. You know, Cincinnati actually switched switched the playoff,
Speaker 1: you know, instead of playing man. If it was man
Speaker 1: to man, we probably would have thrown the ball underneath,
Speaker 1: but they switched it off. So it was me on
Speaker 1: a corner with outside leverage. I was able to get
Speaker 1: around him. And you know me, I really like to
Speaker 1: catch stuff with one hand, but that was a really
Speaker 1: tough situation and I had to catch him with two.
Speaker 1: So you know, next time, I'm hoping that Garner gives
Speaker 1: me a better ball so I can reach back and
Speaker 1: catch it like that. But I gotta do what you
Speaker 1: gotta do. Healing. Should you be playing over Conny? You
Speaker 1: know what I think I should be. I think I
Speaker 1: know all the answers to everything, but I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say that out loud. Um in all seriousness
Speaker 1: with him. Uh, he seems to have been a guy
Speaker 1: this year playing as the fourth receiver. You don't get
Speaker 1: his many reps the other guy, but in a couple
Speaker 1: of situations he has come up big when it was
Speaker 1: needed and made a cup a really big place for
Speaker 1: you guys. Yeah, you know that's the That's a tough
Speaker 1: position to be in, uh, fourth receiver. I I have
Speaker 1: been in every position in a receiver room. You know,
Speaker 1: I've I've played number one, I've been the two, I've
Speaker 1: been the three, I've been the four, I've been the
Speaker 1: fifth receiver. And you know, the fourth receiver is a
Speaker 1: really tough spot because if you're the fifth receiver, you
Speaker 1: have a larger role on special teams, so you know
Speaker 1: what your day is gonna look like on Sunday at
Speaker 1: the fourth receiver, h your job on special teams is
Speaker 1: a little bit more murky. Your job on offense is
Speaker 1: even murkier. And you have to be ready to be
Speaker 1: able to you have to be able to be plugged
Speaker 1: in in any situation in an offense and really make
Speaker 1: whatever play. You might not have repped it one time
Speaker 1: the whole year, but you get put in in a
Speaker 1: clutch situation and you've got to make the play, and
Speaker 1: you do that cold you come off the bench cole,
Speaker 1: you know, playing what five snaps before that and then
Speaker 1: having a touchdown and a key moment of a game
Speaker 1: thrown to. You got to make the play and Keeland
Speaker 1: has done a great job of that this year, and
Speaker 1: I was gonna see this too. It's always struck me
Speaker 1: for a receiver, especially that you know you caught a
Speaker 1: two point conversion the other day. Now you're in the
Speaker 1: end zone, it's got to be the same sort of
Speaker 1: feeling as a touchdown. Not at all, not at all,
Speaker 1: not at all, And but it sort of should it shouldn't,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. Two point conversions don't count for anything.
Speaker 1: You don't count for anything, count for two points. They
Speaker 1: don't count for anything. My stat line after the game
Speaker 1: set three catches for eighty three yards. The two point
Speaker 1: conversion was a fourth catch. It didn't even count. Right,
Speaker 1: you don't get it. We don't hurt your average anyway,
Speaker 1: but it's almost does still be six. Two point conversions
Speaker 1: don't count for anything. When you go to the bargaining
Speaker 1: table against the team, you say, hey, I scored uh
Speaker 1: two point conversion. That doesn't count. They're not gonna pay
Speaker 1: you for that. Love So all right, Home game Sunday,
Speaker 1: and it's the last game in this stadium until December. One.
Speaker 1: Think about that for a while. Because of the London
Speaker 1: home game coming up next week, and then buy and
Speaker 1: then a couple of road games. So, as we said
Speaker 1: last week, that was the game you're looking at Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: You had to have that game to get things turned
Speaker 1: the right way. This one against the Jets is kind
Speaker 1: of the same field, right you get back to five,
Speaker 1: everything's back to where you guys felt it could be.
Speaker 1: Once again, reiterate the same thing that I said last week.
Speaker 1: This week is the most important week. This game is
Speaker 1: the most important game. I sound like a broken record
Speaker 1: when I say it, but when you live and operate
Speaker 1: with that mentality in this league, good things happen. And
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that everyone in the locker room agrees with
Speaker 1: me on that. If we can really just focus in
Speaker 1: on this game, make sure that we can get just
Speaker 1: a little bit better at some of the things from
Speaker 1: last week. Um, you know, the defense, if they could
Speaker 1: get a little bit better than four turnovers, that would
Speaker 1: be great. If the offense, if we can score when
Speaker 1: we have opportunities in the red zones, especially early. You
Speaker 1: know this, this oftense scored points last week, but if
Speaker 1: we can get some of those points on the first half,
Speaker 1: on the early end of the game, that can change
Speaker 1: momentum and help it swing. If we can save some
Speaker 1: field position, uh and make some more big plays on
Speaker 1: special teams. You know that that would be big for
Speaker 1: us this week. So if we can lock in and focus,
Speaker 1: it'll do us wonders before we have to become world
Speaker 1: Warriors've been playing obviously five or six years in this league.
Speaker 1: The difference in just tone and of the confidence, but
Speaker 1: situational football that you play the rest of the half,
Speaker 1: tide zero zero after the first drive doesn't happen or
Speaker 1: up seven nothing, it's a mammoth change and how you
Speaker 1: approach the rest of the game right huge. Situational football
Speaker 1: is so important, and it's one of those things that
Speaker 1: you really you try to get as much work of
Speaker 1: it as you can without, you know, taking time away
Speaker 1: from something else that's necessary, but trying to teach guys
Speaker 1: who haven't necessarily played or been in a lot of
Speaker 1: those situations for that long, how a game can change
Speaker 1: with those points. And you don't want to get into
Speaker 1: percentages and say, oh, you know your percentage drops to this,
Speaker 1: uh if you don't score here. But you know those
Speaker 1: numbers are real, but you don't want to you don't
Speaker 1: ever want to tell somebody, hey, it's not possible, because
Speaker 1: this game is is full of impossible. But when you
Speaker 1: can score early like that and you can create a lead,
Speaker 1: you allow your defense to pin their ears ears back
Speaker 1: and go after a quarterback and a secondary to play
Speaker 1: like that, it changes the course of a game. And really,
Speaker 1: once you get to the end of the half and
Speaker 1: end of the game, in two minute situations, you minimize
Speaker 1: the chances and percentages of a quarterback, a really good
Speaker 1: quarterback coming back into the game late. I heard you
Speaker 1: had some surf time this week, Is that right? We
Speaker 1: had a yeah, a little bit, a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: with you this week. It was it was disappointing that
Speaker 1: the one day that the camera crew decides to come
Speaker 1: out and serve there's nothing out there. We were sitting
Speaker 1: We're sitting basically on a lake. We were sitting on
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Lake for a good hour out there when we
Speaker 1: thought that there was gonna be just a little bump.
Speaker 1: We thought there was gonna be a little tiny longboard wave. Nothing. Now, well,
Speaker 1: you wet suit once the winter really comes, or oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm already halfway there. I'm wearing I'm wearing a wet
Speaker 1: suit top. Already. I have fully converted to being allergic
Speaker 1: to the cold since being here. When I got here
Speaker 1: from Kansas City, I remember going out when people were
Speaker 1: wearing wet suits and I was wearing nothing. I was
Speaker 1: just wearing trunks. I was like, this is great. Everybody's
Speaker 1: like you're crazy. But now, oh no, I'm I'm converted, man,
Speaker 1: completely converted. Cover me up, Chris, good to see you, Keiling,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming. Oh thanks Ling. Can we get the
Speaker 1: camera over there? Can we get the camera over to Keiling?
Speaker 1: Cole Man, Keiling, You're you're just looking great today. Man,
Speaker 1: my god, my guy. Hey, everyone on Twitter, make sure
Speaker 1: that you go and tweet at Keilan and tell him, man,
Speaker 1: you were great on the show today. Oh man, he is. Chris.
Speaker 1: Good luck to you this week. Man. Thank you. Chris Connley,
Speaker 1: Jaguars Wide Receiver with us every Wednesday. Thanks for our
Speaker 1: entire crew, Jimmy luck for John Ozier and Chris Connley.
