Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, January fourth. This is Jaguars Happy Hours
Speaker 1: and now a guy who stole a two calendar and
Speaker 1: got twelve months. J. P. Shad Rick. Welcome to It's
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on a Tuesday afternoon. Heading into week
Speaker 1: number eighteen, the Jaguars and the Indianapolis Colts coming up
Speaker 1: at t I A. Bank Field. Here's what's coming up
Speaker 1: on the show today. Jaguars analyst Jeff Lagman is always
Speaker 1: standing by. We'll recap Week seventeen because we must Patriots
Speaker 1: over the Jaguars fifty to ten, fifty to ten, final
Speaker 1: week of one season. We'll look ahead of Week eight team.
Speaker 1: The Colts need the game for the playoff berth. They
Speaker 1: can sneak in another way, but they can win and
Speaker 1: get in with a win over the Jaguars. And of course,
Speaker 1: at five o'clock the Jaguars Coaches Show on the Jaguars
Speaker 1: Radio Network, the final show on the schedule this season,
Speaker 1: we'll here from interim head coach DARRYLD Bevill. That's coming
Speaker 1: up at five o'clock. Well, this past Sunday awful at
Speaker 1: Gillette Stadium, Boxboro, Massachusetts. The Patriots put up nearly five
Speaker 1: hundred yards. They scored on eight of ten possessions. There
Speaker 1: was a punt and a kneel down at the end
Speaker 1: of the game. They scored touchdowns on the opening five possessions,
Speaker 1: including all four in the first half. The Jacks offense
Speaker 1: turned the bowl over three times, couldn't do much else otherwise.
Speaker 1: I got a field goal and then a garbage time touchdown.
Speaker 1: It's eight straight losses for the Jags. A lot of
Speaker 1: noise around the team these days, coaching search and everything
Speaker 1: else going on. Trevor Lawrence after the game on controlling
Speaker 1: what he can. Yeah, I mean, obviously haven't been here
Speaker 1: that long, and know I've been here for a year. Um,
Speaker 1: so well, you know, we'll see in this offseason. That's
Speaker 1: something like I said, we we got one more left,
Speaker 1: and I'm putting everything I have into this last game
Speaker 1: and and trying to get a win and finish strong
Speaker 1: with these guys and and on a positive note. But um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I haven't been around the
Speaker 1: NFL long, so I really you still don't even know
Speaker 1: how how everything completely works. But um, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just trusting you know, who's in leadership positions. You know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. My job is to
Speaker 1: be a quarterback, um and to lead this team. And
Speaker 1: you know, I can only do so much, and that's
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. So um. Other than that, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put my head down, go to work,
Speaker 1: and UM. Yeah, I have faith that that that we
Speaker 1: are going to come out um in a way better
Speaker 1: spot next year than we are right now. So I
Speaker 1: a hundred percent believe that and I'm just looking forward
Speaker 1: to um doing that because a lot of these guys
Speaker 1: deserve it. That is Trevor Lawrence after the game in
Speaker 1: Foxbro last week. Jeff Loga been joining us now Jaguars analysts,
Speaker 1: and Happy New Year in person for the first time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. We talked on the radio the other day,
Speaker 1: but the first time I've seen you in person since
Speaker 1: we were talking on the CB. Yeah, that's right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Breaking one nine. Of course, by the way, that Trevor
Speaker 1: was a response that he had right there. That was
Speaker 1: he was asked a question about is the franchise direction
Speaker 1: is it? Is it? You know, are you confident that
Speaker 1: it can head in the right direction? Which I mean,
Speaker 1: first off, that's a tough question for a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1: And once again he handles it very well. And that's uh,
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that we have learned this year
Speaker 1: that Trevor still has a long way to go performance wise,
Speaker 1: but as far as being a pro and standing up
Speaker 1: in front of the tough questions, he has never never
Speaker 1: wavered and has never disappointed, no doubt about that. I
Speaker 1: think as the season has gone along, I'm sure he
Speaker 1: had an idea of this anyway, coming in being the
Speaker 1: number one overall pick at the quarterback and his faces
Speaker 1: plastered all over town that okay, this is a little
Speaker 1: different than just oh I get a little time to
Speaker 1: be a quarterback. I have to be a little more
Speaker 1: than that. And I feel like as the season went along,
Speaker 1: when all the adversity hit, when all the aber Meyer
Speaker 1: stuff was going on, he was out there and and everybody,
Speaker 1: and he was saying certain things that on behalf of
Speaker 1: the football team, the players that uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know who else could be in that role right
Speaker 1: now for the Jaguars beyond Trevor Lawrence. He's I don't
Speaker 1: think I don't think anybody could have handled it better.
Speaker 1: But I mean, here's the reality. He shouldn't be the
Speaker 1: one handling all this so professionally. I mean, he's a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. He should be able to let him focus
Speaker 1: on being a rookie quarterback. And that's that's something that uh,
Speaker 1: the Patriots I think have done a really good job
Speaker 1: of is managing you know what what mac Jones has
Speaker 1: to do for that franchise. He doesn't have to worry
Speaker 1: about all the the drama or the distractions, or the
Speaker 1: commentary about all of that stuff because it's all handled
Speaker 1: by the Patriots. They make sure that it's an environment
Speaker 1: for success. And I think if if you're this organization,
Speaker 1: you look at that organization, the Patriots organization, and you say,
Speaker 1: we need to get there. Here's what we need to
Speaker 1: do to take the steps to ensure that we're headed
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I would think though there are
Speaker 1: you know of the teams that how many teams you
Speaker 1: think are not there yet, because there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of the third of the teams that are perennial playoff teams.
Speaker 1: They're just the perennial playoff teams are there for a reason.
Speaker 1: Typically they have an organization that has run well and
Speaker 1: then they have a quarterback. I mean that's kind of
Speaker 1: two things that you need to have. Okay, and now
Speaker 1: you have what you're expecting is going to be a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I would be in the same category as Bill
Speaker 1: belichicks look like that Trevor Lawrence is going to be
Speaker 1: a solid quarterback. Maybe great. I mean, you just don't
Speaker 1: know that you don't have that crystal ball. I think
Speaker 1: Belichick was very accurate in describing that now you need
Speaker 1: to take care of the other aspect, and that's taking
Speaker 1: care and making sure that the organization is set up
Speaker 1: for success. Because what this past year or this year
Speaker 1: has showed is that it is not a lot of
Speaker 1: holes to be filled. That's on the roster part of
Speaker 1: what we've seen that as it's gone along, but just
Speaker 1: the thing around the football team to the day to
Speaker 1: day operation of it. The everything is just not been ideal.
Speaker 1: Now it hasn't been ideal, and it's it's not easy.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people think that you know,
Speaker 1: you just wave one, you make a right decision and
Speaker 1: then it is fixed. I mean, you you can continue
Speaker 1: to try because it has to be. Things have to merge.
Speaker 1: Things that you're doing right have to merge. And when
Speaker 1: I say it's not easy, First of all, you have
Speaker 1: have to have the right the right leadership, and you
Speaker 1: have to have good good leadership. When I say good leadership,
Speaker 1: good people. And then once you have the good people
Speaker 1: in place, then you have to have an accountability that
Speaker 1: everybody has to do their jobs. You've got to get
Speaker 1: the right players. You've got obviously got to get the
Speaker 1: right components at the quarterback position, and you have to
Speaker 1: have a successful system in a consistent system. I mean,
Speaker 1: there there are so many different things and if it
Speaker 1: was easy, everybody would do it. I mean, everybody would
Speaker 1: be winning. And that's just not the case. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's why it's so difficult. That's why I think the
Speaker 1: NFL game is so special. It is because it is
Speaker 1: extremely hard to do, which makes what Bill Belichick and
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots what they have done and what
Speaker 1: they are doing, it makes it amazing. I think it
Speaker 1: makes you appreciate the greatness that they have and have
Speaker 1: had and half and uh and trust me, nobody, nobody
Speaker 1: appreciates the New England Patriots more than I do. And look,
Speaker 1: I'm not a doing the Patriots homer or anything. It's
Speaker 1: just that for them to have the success that they've
Speaker 1: had for so long with Tom Brady and now they're
Speaker 1: building something without him. It's impressive one year down last
Speaker 1: year and then uh here they're right back in the
Speaker 1: thick of it again in the playoffs with a rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback and a fantastic defense to support that. It feels
Speaker 1: very similar to the early days. But that game was
Speaker 1: just it reminded me. You go back and I want
Speaker 1: to say it was the playoff game in New England
Speaker 1: or whatever when Tom Brady completed like nineties something percent
Speaker 1: of nine eight or what. It was some crazy number
Speaker 1: that he had a completion percentage in a game against
Speaker 1: the Jaguars that was like an NFL record. So you're
Speaker 1: talking about they scored on every possession that game except
Speaker 1: the kneel down a thing. That's what it was. A
Speaker 1: payoff game. It was like Week three. It was. It
Speaker 1: was a game and it would you sit there and
Speaker 1: you go, wow, is he really good? And when you
Speaker 1: sit there and you go wow, and and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, wearing this game up there in New
Speaker 1: England on Sunday, We're sitting there thinking that this is
Speaker 1: gonna be the worst game in Jaguars history. Because I
Speaker 1: was I mean, I was on this team when we
Speaker 1: had the one that was the worst, which was the
Speaker 1: loss in Detroit when they were taking a knee and
Speaker 1: how many minutes was left in the ball game when
Speaker 1: they were taking a knee in that game. Talking about
Speaker 1: the show last night, that's what Pete said, third quarter.
Speaker 1: It was embarrassing. What I don't think it was a
Speaker 1: third quarter. But I mean, that's Pete just trying to
Speaker 1: be funny. But it was bad. It was embarrassing, not
Speaker 1: really funny. No, it wasn't not funny at all. It's
Speaker 1: it's frustrating one bit. J Don't you laugh. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: sitting here with you. It's not funny at all to
Speaker 1: get to be turned into a spider monkey. So the
Speaker 1: defense just couldn't get much done. They couldn't get them
Speaker 1: off the field methodical drives. It wasn't like huge field
Speaker 1: flipping plays for New England or anything. They just did
Speaker 1: their thing and drove down the field. They took advantage
Speaker 1: of those takeaways for some short fields also, but they
Speaker 1: cashed it in most every time. Well they yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: they took advantage of the short field on the interceptions.
Speaker 1: But I will say that they were First of all,
Speaker 1: they do a great job of making sure they stay
Speaker 1: ahead of the sticks. So I think the one drive
Speaker 1: was either first or the second scoring drive that they had.
Speaker 1: They had a penalty which they were able to overcome that.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, they don't make the self
Speaker 1: inflicted mistakes that hurt their rhythm on offense and it
Speaker 1: and it allowed them to continue to run the football
Speaker 1: and they ran the football very well. And then mac
Speaker 1: Jones was incredibly efficient and he is having a nothing
Speaker 1: short of a spectacular, spectacular rookie season. And credit to him,
Speaker 1: credit to Bill Belichick, and credit to their offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel, who is doing an amazing job with him.
Speaker 1: And also they're doing an amazing job of managing him.
Speaker 1: And that's something that I think that that hasn't been
Speaker 1: very good here with Trevor Lawrences, that the management of
Speaker 1: the situation of the quarterback hasn't gone as well as
Speaker 1: it could have gone. From ac Jones. He doesn't have
Speaker 1: to go make the spectacular play, just go execute the play.
Speaker 1: They got guys that can jump in the air at
Speaker 1: wide receiver. They brought a guy after practice squad who's
Speaker 1: making plays and uh they're just running the system well
Speaker 1: and and they have he has a really good defense,
Speaker 1: which is the number one defense in the National Football
Speaker 1: League as far as points allowed. I mean, when you
Speaker 1: have that as a quarterback and you have a good
Speaker 1: running game and oh, by the way, you have two
Speaker 1: really good tight ends that are what's the right word
Speaker 1: security blankets for you. I mean, that's what tight ends
Speaker 1: are for young quarterback. And they spent a ton of
Speaker 1: money to get them. Um, I give them credit now.
Speaker 1: They they've they've done a really good job. And the
Speaker 1: Jaguars defensively did not do a good job. You had
Speaker 1: some issues to where you had guys out of gaps
Speaker 1: and run defense. You had a couple of guys that
Speaker 1: were not on the same page in coverage, as you
Speaker 1: can see from the Wilkerson touchdown where you had two
Speaker 1: guys covering one and there he goes for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: That was a throw that I probably could have made
Speaker 1: after warming up for about twenty minutes, but not cold.
Speaker 1: I could have made that throw cold, but I could
Speaker 1: have made that throw after warming up for a bit.
Speaker 1: And uh not a not a not a great job
Speaker 1: by the defense in that game. Anytime you give up
Speaker 1: that amount of scores with the frequency that they did.
Speaker 1: It's and something that we've seen the Jaguars do a
Speaker 1: really good job on this year. They didn't do a
Speaker 1: good job in that game, and that was sudden change.
Speaker 1: Think about that. Yeah, they've been pretty good, they don't
Speaker 1: holding the field goals or whatever, but not this time
Speaker 1: on on the year. Going into that game, the Jaguars
Speaker 1: defense had only allowed sixty four points off of the
Speaker 1: twenty six committed offensive giveaway. That's good defense. I mean,
Speaker 1: as far as sudden change goes, and it all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you turn around in this game and you have,
Speaker 1: you know, interception touchdown, interception touchdown, and then another interception touchdown.
Speaker 1: So three giveaways twenty one points. I mean, that's the
Speaker 1: third of what you had going into the game, a third,
Speaker 1: but only three giveaways compared to the twenty six previous
Speaker 1: ones that you had. You know, So now I think
Speaker 1: it just tells you a little bit of the state
Speaker 1: of the week going in. Also, I mean, and the
Speaker 1: way the roster was the excuse JP, that's what it is,
Speaker 1: I mean to begin with, and then they're really out man,
Speaker 1: when you got twenty seven guys in the COVID and
Speaker 1: and I think you know is does this is this
Speaker 1: an undie meant on your depth? Because all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: now you're playing guys that you know, you haven't had
Speaker 1: to play. But then you go back and you look
Speaker 1: at the previous two games. Oh, by the way, the
Speaker 1: Jets had I think eight starters out from the COVID list.
Speaker 1: Thing okay, and then the week before that the Houston
Speaker 1: Texans I think had five had a handful. Uh So
Speaker 1: how come they were able to put it together? And
Speaker 1: then this team was not. And I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: just to win. I'm just talking about stay in the game,
Speaker 1: having a competitive game, and that's a concern. This wasn't close.
Speaker 1: Plenty more on that coming up a little more in
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's day and what you want to see out
Speaker 1: of him in week eight team. I think we'll get
Speaker 1: into that when we come back. The last chance to
Speaker 1: see him as a rookie well, and I hope he
Speaker 1: takes a nice, long needed vacation after the after this game.
Speaker 1: A little more business to attend to before we get
Speaker 1: to that. P r I Productions, the official event production
Speaker 1: company of the Jags, has everything you need to bring
Speaker 1: your next idea to life, visit p r I Productions
Speaker 1: dot com. Coming up at five o'clock is the Jaguars
Speaker 1: Coaches Show. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars
Speaker 1: Digital Network. Welcome back, It's Jaguars Happy Hour on a
Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logerman. Glad you're
Speaker 1: along weather, Joe Fortunado on the audio side, Brent Reverer
Speaker 1: on the video on Jaguars dot Com. The Jaguars and
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts coming up in week eighteen. Well, the
Speaker 1: game did not get flexed. There's always that possibility if
Speaker 1: the game has playoff meaning for one team or both teams,
Speaker 1: that it could get mood, but it stayed at one o'clock.
Speaker 1: It stays on CBS. Greg Gumble and Adam Rchalletta will
Speaker 1: have the call on CBS one o'clock kickoff time from
Speaker 1: t I A. A. Bank Field. Yes, yeah, the uh,
Speaker 1: the chances of this game getting flexed. I mean, Indie
Speaker 1: needs the game and that would be the reason why
Speaker 1: it would have been in the conversation to be moved
Speaker 1: to a later time, but um, they decided to go
Speaker 1: ahead and get this one. Out of the way, and
Speaker 1: then it would be compelling, not just from a from
Speaker 1: a playoff possibility, but if you all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: had the Detroit Lions or uh, if they lose a game,
Speaker 1: or excuse me, if they want a previous game at
Speaker 1: one o'clock and the Jaguars were scheduled at four, the
Speaker 1: ability who's gonna pick number one? I could have been
Speaker 1: at stake. I think that's down the pro exactly. That's
Speaker 1: not that's not worthy of a flex. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's worthy of a flex. So alright, one one last opportunity.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only reason I would have been
Speaker 1: compelling from a Jaguars Jaguars perspective, sure, and for the
Speaker 1: wrong reason. So alright, we we mentioned in a moment
Speaker 1: ago Trevor Lawrence of course, had three interceptions this past week.
Speaker 1: He's only had two touchdown passes over what the last
Speaker 1: eight weeks now combined, concluding the one this past week. Um,
Speaker 1: one more week to go. So first off, I've got
Speaker 1: to keep him healthy. We said that for the last
Speaker 1: two months. Well, can we can we talk about the
Speaker 1: interceptions for a minute. We can. Yes, Let's start the
Speaker 1: first Let's start with that first one hit Riquil Armstead
Speaker 1: right in the hands. Rocks. I mean, that was one
Speaker 1: of the knocks on Rock when he came out was
Speaker 1: that he was not a very good catcher of the
Speaker 1: football at Temple and could he do that. That's why
Speaker 1: many people viewed him as a first and second down back.
Speaker 1: And then when in his first stint with the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: he actually showed that he had pretty good hands. And
Speaker 1: then on this particular play, for some reason, he kind
Speaker 1: of goes to choke it down in his route a
Speaker 1: little bit and Trevor's leading him and so then he
Speaker 1: kind of gets caught in, you know, reacting and he
Speaker 1: kind of goes up in the air. Wasn't very smooth operations.
Speaker 1: Gotta make that catch, though, I mean, come on, gotta
Speaker 1: make that catch. If you can't make that catch, you
Speaker 1: can't play running back in the National Football League in
Speaker 1: the modern era because you have to catch the football.
Speaker 1: Isn't running back now. The second interception interception, Trevor had
Speaker 1: absolutely no business making that throw whatsoever. He essentially has
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin covered by J. C. Jackson and it's very
Speaker 1: obvious that he's covered. And oh, by the way, he
Speaker 1: had a tight end wearing that was wide open on
Speaker 1: the levels route that was deeper than Tavon Austin streaking
Speaker 1: down the numbers. It would have been a big play.
Speaker 1: Would not have been a touchdown, but it would have
Speaker 1: been a big play. The last one, which was a
Speaker 1: I think it was a third and four team and
Speaker 1: the score was thirty four to three at that point.
Speaker 1: I can't remember if it was a lost artage player
Speaker 1: a penalty before, but there was plenty of time to
Speaker 1: come up with an idea there for third and fourteen.
Speaker 1: And this is what I'm talking about about, how you
Speaker 1: have to manage a young quarter act when it's third
Speaker 1: and fourteen and the score is thirty four to three.
Speaker 1: Why would you put him in a situation to where
Speaker 1: he may force a ball. He's already got two interceptions.
Speaker 1: What would you rather see their drawn draw or throw
Speaker 1: a screen tight end screen running back screen? Just don't
Speaker 1: just don't make him drop back. He's already got two
Speaker 1: interceptions and it's third and fourteen, okay, and especially with
Speaker 1: the score is what it is. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: the moment there to say hey, it's okay to punt. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're getting our rear ends kicked. Let's not make it
Speaker 1: worse on our young quarterback and you move forward. And
Speaker 1: I thought that was a that was a big coaching
Speaker 1: mistake in that game. Moving ahead now, um, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: see who's available. There's still a bunch of guys in
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID nineteen lists this week. Offensive linemen have
Speaker 1: a couple of guys down still. We'll get to that
Speaker 1: coming up and just a few minutes. But you know,
Speaker 1: what do you want to see from him this time?
Speaker 1: I mean, you got one more chance to go see
Speaker 1: what else is left. I want to see competitiveness out
Speaker 1: of him, every everybody, and that's you didn't see that.
Speaker 1: I mean I want to say you didn't see that.
Speaker 1: There were times where individuals were competitive, but the game
Speaker 1: itself was not competitive. So when you say, what do
Speaker 1: you want to see first and foremost, I want to
Speaker 1: see a team that competes, not a team that comes
Speaker 1: out and gets gets boat raced. That's what happened in
Speaker 1: New England. And I want to obviously see a young
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence have success. This is a division opponent.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're out of the playoffs and
Speaker 1: all the changes coming or not. This is a division
Speaker 1: game and it's an opportunity to beat the calls, and
Speaker 1: you take every opportunity that you can to beat the calls. Ah,
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn about draft pick position. I
Speaker 1: don't because whether you're picking first or whether you're picking second,
Speaker 1: are gonna be in a plenty good enough position to
Speaker 1: get a good player in a position to now you
Speaker 1: need to execute that, and that's obviously a source of
Speaker 1: that needs to improve with his football team going for
Speaker 1: you gotta get you gotta get better players, and you
Speaker 1: gotta get better coaching, you gotta get better organizationally. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that you gotta get better at.
Speaker 1: But this is an opportunity to compete, and last week
Speaker 1: this team did not compete. The Colts are not one
Speaker 1: in jacksonvilleson lies h Well, I look locked down the
Speaker 1: bank and they're very aware of that. You read all
Speaker 1: the clips that come out of Indianapolis, you read the
Speaker 1: interviews that are that are happening over there or up there.
Speaker 1: They all recognize that. They know that coming down here
Speaker 1: it's not going to be an automatic thing for them.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I think that's a little bit troubling,
Speaker 1: is that the Cults are at their best when they're
Speaker 1: running the football, with Jonathan Taylor clearly at their best.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of Carson Wentz. I think
Speaker 1: he in last week he spent a little bit of
Speaker 1: time on COVID list in practice, ended up playing against
Speaker 1: Riders and couldn't perform as well as he needed to.
Speaker 1: But he's been the one thing that's kind of kept
Speaker 1: them from winning games this year, and that when he
Speaker 1: hasn't been solid, they've lost. I mean just solid. But
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor when he gets off and ripping man,
Speaker 1: that's a hard team to beat. And the Jaguars defensively,
Speaker 1: you look at last week and gap defense was not
Speaker 1: great at times. They gave up another hundred yard rusher
Speaker 1: in that ball game. The week before that against the Jets,
Speaker 1: they gave up what was it, two hundred and seventies
Speaker 1: seventy three and it was in the two seventies, two
Speaker 1: seventy plush yards in a game. I mean that that's
Speaker 1: the trend in the wrong direction. And uh and right now,
Speaker 1: some of your better players on defense are not playing
Speaker 1: like they are your better players and Obviously COVID has
Speaker 1: an impact on all of that, but so does every
Speaker 1: other team in the league have that They've been dealing
Speaker 1: with those type of things too. So it is what
Speaker 1: it is, and it is not good right now for
Speaker 1: the Jags. But one chance to try to go out
Speaker 1: and ruin the Colts playoff opportunity I got left. Really
Speaker 1: that can't motivate you, though? Why not? Because it's ruining
Speaker 1: it's fake, you know what I mean, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: if if that's your internal motivation as a player. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to go out there and I want to
Speaker 1: ruin the Colts postseason, you know, or ruin their season
Speaker 1: so they don't go to the postseason. It's fake. It's fake.
Speaker 1: I mean you you go out there to be a competitor,
Speaker 1: no mander the stakes, no matter what's going on, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Last week, Jets, Jaguars, neither team was in it.
Speaker 1: You compete, I mean, that's what you are. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to be a competitor. And this team last week was
Speaker 1: not a competitor. They were not a competitive team. And
Speaker 1: this week you hope that that changes, just because if
Speaker 1: this is a this is gonna be a game at home,
Speaker 1: and this will also be a very interesting game to
Speaker 1: see the fan response. That is a concern because the
Speaker 1: fans are not happy right now. There's a lot going on. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we'll come back in a moment and touch a little
Speaker 1: deeper on the Indianapolis Colts. Their defense. They've got a
Speaker 1: bunch of Pro Bowlers on that team, especially on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. They're one win away from
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And of course, coming up at five o'clock
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Coaches Show, Daryl Bevil, interim head coach, will
Speaker 1: join us as always in the final Jaguars Coaches Show
Speaker 1: on the schedule for season. This is Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: on the jaguar Is Digital Network. Welcome back, It's Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour Tuesday afternoon j P. Shadrick with Jeff Blaggum.
Speaker 1: In It's Week eight teen, the Jaguars in the Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Colts coming up at t I A. A. Bank Field,
Speaker 1: the Jags trying to bounce back from a fifty to
Speaker 1: ten loss to the New England Patriots in Week seventeen.
Speaker 1: Trivia for you, Is this the first time that we've
Speaker 1: ever entered into a Week eighteen in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: That's cold Week eighteen. Yes, when there was a season
Speaker 1: a few years back, if I remember correctly, that they
Speaker 1: had two buys in it, and so that created a
Speaker 1: week eighteen at that point. So this is actually the
Speaker 1: second time in nflot that was a weekend. The two
Speaker 1: buyer system was essentially meant to gain more TV revenue
Speaker 1: dollar three logs. I remember that because I remember going,
Speaker 1: that's kind on a that was ninety three three, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was, you were, Yeah, I'm just trying to remember
Speaker 1: exactly how we how, what our record was, what probably
Speaker 1: wasn't very good. Find that real quick. The New York Jets.
Speaker 1: That might have been a year we uh, that might
Speaker 1: have been the playoff year that which was the only
Speaker 1: playoff year that I had when I was with the Jets,
Speaker 1: and I think we were eight and eight, And if
Speaker 1: if that is the case, you're right, Okay, here here's
Speaker 1: a cool thing about what I remember about that year
Speaker 1: just qualified for the playoffs. We did not know you
Speaker 1: sure about that. I'm sure at eight and eight must
Speaker 1: have been the year before you you did not make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I don't know about the year before ninety two.
Speaker 1: You guys are four and twelve. It wasn't. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't ninety two, ninety four, you were six and ten.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here looking at it. I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: the year that we're in the playoffs because nine was
Speaker 1: the season Coslet was fired and Pete Carroll was promoted
Speaker 1: after that, correct, So it had to be then eight
Speaker 1: and eight lost the wild card play in Houston against
Speaker 1: the Oilers. That's what I was thinking of. The reason
Speaker 1: I was thinking of that one I knew we were
Speaker 1: eight eight somewhere in there, you know, because of in
Speaker 1: the playoffs and that we never had a winning season
Speaker 1: in New York and the reason that that. Do you
Speaker 1: remember the significance of that playoff game? Jones? Okay, our
Speaker 1: executive producer radio, Do you remember the significance of the
Speaker 1: New York Jets at Houston playoff game? In Do you
Speaker 1: remember why that game will always be remembered in the
Speaker 1: history of the NFL. That's the game that Kevin Gilbride.
Speaker 1: They were beating the pants off of us in the
Speaker 1: playoff game, and Kevin Gilbride was still all in passes
Speaker 1: and then Buddy Ryan and tried to punch him on
Speaker 1: the sideline, and then Kevin Gilbride, who, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: was the first offensive coordinator in Jaguar's history, turns around
Speaker 1: and tries to punch Buddy Ryan back, and they had
Speaker 1: staff and players and everything restraining the two of them.
Speaker 1: They were winning the game. They were we had no
Speaker 1: chance that that Houston team, by the way, just living
Speaker 1: in the past here for a minute, was one of
Speaker 1: the most talented football teams that I had ever seen
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, both offensively and defensively. They
Speaker 1: were stacked, I mean stacked as a football team. But
Speaker 1: that's why everybody can remember that game is that's the
Speaker 1: moment that there was a little fisticuffs with Buddy Ryan
Speaker 1: and Kevin Gilbride. So, uh, take us back logs. Since
Speaker 1: we're going back in history, we're gonna go back in
Speaker 1: the Sason to week ten, November fourteen, the Jaguars in
Speaker 1: Indianapolis against the Colts. The Jags had just won two
Speaker 1: out of the previous three games and they go into
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium. The Indianapolis Colts come away with a
Speaker 1: twenty three seventeen win. They led twenty to six at
Speaker 1: one point in the game. The Jags got within three
Speaker 1: points at the ten thirty mark on the James Robinson
Speaker 1: touchdown run. But that was in I remember that game
Speaker 1: very well, JP, And what I remember most is that
Speaker 1: the Colts came out of the gate, and I think
Speaker 1: on the first three drives, Jonathan Taylor nearly had a
Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing. Uh. In fact, with my notes here,
Speaker 1: he had ten carries for ninety three yards after the
Speaker 1: first three Colts offensive series. And uh, the Colts blocked
Speaker 1: a punt first drive and scored a touchdown, and so, uh,
Speaker 1: it's got a field goal in the first drive, blocked
Speaker 1: a punt. Now they're up ten and nothing. And then
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense, Okay, now you need to put things together,
Speaker 1: and you go three and out and Jamal ag knew
Speaker 1: how to drop and then all of a sudden, Jonathan
Speaker 1: Taylor scores on the Colts second offensive possession, and they're
Speaker 1: up seventeen and nothing. And Jonathan Taylor at that point
Speaker 1: has tin carries for ninety three yards. And you're sitting
Speaker 1: there glunch, you gotta be kidding me. And then here's
Speaker 1: what happens, which baffled me. Frank reiank starts calling passes
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz. The Jags defense got three straight three
Speaker 1: and ounce after that. Yes, because because he was throwing
Speaker 1: the ball, you got you got Jonathan Taylor, who might
Speaker 1: rush for a thousand yards in one game, and you
Speaker 1: start throwing it because he's your quarterback, I mean, because
Speaker 1: WinCE is your quarterback. What are you doing? I mean
Speaker 1: that was the perfect opportunity to have your offensive line,
Speaker 1: which the Colts got a really good offensive line, by
Speaker 1: the way, to allow them to do what they do best.
Speaker 1: And they and Frank didn't do that. And that was
Speaker 1: I think a hard lesson for Frank Rich because the
Speaker 1: Jaguars climbed back into that game with an opportunity at
Speaker 1: winning it. Late in the ball game, if the score
Speaker 1: was sevent twenty, the Jaguars are down three points and
Speaker 1: they got the ball with a chance to go ahead
Speaker 1: and get the go ahead score. And what do they do?
Speaker 1: Three three plays, one yard and punt and then the
Speaker 1: Colts were able to uh score and uh and then
Speaker 1: the Jaguars fumbled on the ensuing possession. Was still another opportunity,
Speaker 1: down by six at that point, to to go ahead
Speaker 1: and get a go ahead score or tieing score and
Speaker 1: then kick an extra point for the win. So it
Speaker 1: was a very competitive game, but it did not start
Speaker 1: out competitive. Early on. Jamal Agnew had a sixties six
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run in the game, first points for the
Speaker 1: Jaguars in that game. And I will ask you, is
Speaker 1: there I know the answered. I don't know why I'm
Speaker 1: even asking the question. There's not really a big play
Speaker 1: threat like that on this offense. And you know it's
Speaker 1: really not. It hasn't been for since he was gone. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, we are we saying that Jamal
Speaker 1: Agnew is this great? He was. He was playing well
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars scoard from sixty yards, I get that,
Speaker 1: but let's not let's not make him Jonathan Taylor of
Speaker 1: the Jaguars that relative to what the Jaguars have now
Speaker 1: in terms of big play, field flipping offensive players, they
Speaker 1: he was the guy. He was one of your most
Speaker 1: explosive There's no no question. But he wasn't perfect. He
Speaker 1: had a lot of drop balls could cost this offense.
Speaker 1: He was a project, with no doubt, and this offense
Speaker 1: has lost quite a few weapons. They he lost d J. Chark,
Speaker 1: he lost Dan Arnold who was on the designated return list.
Speaker 1: But then ended up on the COVID list. I don't
Speaker 1: know where that is at right now, Still there at COVID,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but yeah, I mean the Jaguars offense lost
Speaker 1: some weapons. But I think part of it is is
Speaker 1: that they didn't do a good enough job of acquiring
Speaker 1: more because the more you have, the better you're gonna be.
Speaker 1: And when you have a young quarterback, you want to
Speaker 1: have as many explosive elements as you can. And then
Speaker 1: e t N obviously going down with the foot injury
Speaker 1: that impacted it as well. But I think they could
Speaker 1: have done a better job of acquiring more skill position
Speaker 1: options that had an explosive element for this offense, and
Speaker 1: it could have done that. In free agency, the Colts,
Speaker 1: when you look at their defense, they take them by
Speaker 1: the way, why did they signed Carlos Hide. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I don't have anything against Carlos Hide, but I mean
Speaker 1: let's let's look at I mean, where was the explosive
Speaker 1: element they signed Carlos Hide because he went to Ohio State,
Speaker 1: there was a relationship. I mean, if that's the reason, why,
Speaker 1: then then things were broke long before that. The incident
Speaker 1: happened from Cincinnati, Columbus. I mean, that's that's a problem.
Speaker 1: And there's a relationship from San Francisco as well. JP.
Speaker 1: I know you very well, but I don't want you to
Speaker 1: to change in the oil on my truck. Okay, just
Speaker 1: because we got a relationship. Okay, everybody's got an ability,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You can do the bath
Speaker 1: after that. I'm just telling you that there were two
Speaker 1: connections connection. Okay, but production matters more. I agree. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's about production, that's what it's about. Yes, it is defense,
Speaker 1: um for the Colts. They produce, they certainly do. They
Speaker 1: take the ball away. It's a theme of their defense.
Speaker 1: They go out, they punch the ball away, they try
Speaker 1: to punch the ball away. They're successful and punching the
Speaker 1: ball out and recovering it and taking the ball away.
Speaker 1: That's what they do. I think their defensive coordinator is
Speaker 1: at some point gonna get a a real strong opportunity
Speaker 1: to be a head coach in the in the national
Speaker 1: Football because I think he's done a really good job.
Speaker 1: And even ever flus or Fluss, yes, Flukes right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't know. There's reports that he has been on
Speaker 1: the list for the Jaguars and that they're gonna wait
Speaker 1: until the regular season's over to to have those conversations.
Speaker 1: That's the report. At least, I think he's done a
Speaker 1: really good job in Indianapolis, and he has done I
Speaker 1: think a good job of maximizing some of his players
Speaker 1: abilities and production. And uh, I sit there and I
Speaker 1: go back, and you remember the defensive end that Indianapolis
Speaker 1: signed who was a long time thinking from Estonia, the
Speaker 1: defensive end from Cincinnati Bengals, who they acquired a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. And when they got him, they actually,
Speaker 1: Refluce actually moved him and I'm trying to remember his
Speaker 1: dag um name, but they moved him from defensive end
Speaker 1: to nose tackle, and which was kind of what you
Speaker 1: wouldn't think because the guy that we're talking about that
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of it was like six ft six Marcus Hunts.
Speaker 1: Marcus Hunt, Yes, I mean think about Marcus Hunt, right,
Speaker 1: six six two. He was taller than that and maybe
Speaker 1: six eight and long. And the last place you would
Speaker 1: think of putting him would be probably nose tackle, right,
Speaker 1: because you always think short, squatty, powerful, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: immovable objects. But Marcus Hunt was a really good nose
Speaker 1: tackle and he was one of the reasons why a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago that the Colts were, I mean
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league at stopping
Speaker 1: the run, and I give credit to ebra Flus for
Speaker 1: for figuring that out. And they haven't always had the
Speaker 1: most talent laden defense. They've got a couple of real
Speaker 1: talents now the Force Buckner's are really strong talent. Darius
Speaker 1: Leonard really strong talent. But I think besides those two guys,
Speaker 1: are they are there anybody else that really stands out
Speaker 1: with that Defensereky is kind of okay, but he's had
Speaker 1: a good season. You're right, But I mean is he
Speaker 1: a star? No? But look at where they are from
Speaker 1: a takeaway standpoint. I think that that's the perfect thing
Speaker 1: I think, or example of, is that you've got to
Speaker 1: make sure that as a defensive coach that you're emphasizing
Speaker 1: the takeaways, etcetera. Because that's not a talent issue in
Speaker 1: a lot of cases. I mean, interceptions are in a
Speaker 1: in a big way. Okay, like last week, Okay, the
Speaker 1: Patriots had a ton of interceptions. This week, the Colts
Speaker 1: defense has a ton of cost fumbles, number one in
Speaker 1: the National Football League at takeaways and is that a
Speaker 1: talent thing. Are they that talented on defense? I don't
Speaker 1: think that's it. I just think that the teaching and
Speaker 1: the awareness taught by ebra Flus, the defensive coordinator, uh
Speaker 1: he I think he does a tremendous job. The attitude
Speaker 1: you gotta go want it and know how to go
Speaker 1: get it. And then Pete Carroll was always an excellent
Speaker 1: coach and his defenses historically have always had great success
Speaker 1: in getting takeaways because of the teaching and the emphasis
Speaker 1: that he put on it. And that's something and I
Speaker 1: think Joe Colin is a really good football coach, but
Speaker 1: that's something that hasn't been productive here for this football
Speaker 1: team is the takeaway category, because the Jaguars are dead last,
Speaker 1: and takeaways as a defense dad last. If you're looking
Speaker 1: for the m v P of the truck game, then
Speaker 1: look no further than four D F one fifty, Loaded
Speaker 1: with impressive capability and designed to dominate, work, play and
Speaker 1: everything in between. This truck makes tough look easy, no wonder.
Speaker 1: It's the official truck of the NFL and proud partner
Speaker 1: of your Jacksonville Jaguars. The baptist tells injury report when
Speaker 1: we return at five o'clock The Jaguars Coaches Show. Darrel Bevil,
Speaker 1: Interim head coach joins us as the final scheduled Jaguars
Speaker 1: Coaches show of the season. This is Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on
Speaker 1: a Tuesday afternoon JP Shadrick with Jeff lag and the
Speaker 1: Jags and the Indian ap was Colts. Coming up in
Speaker 1: week eighteen, Veterans choose v A for the benefits You've earned,
Speaker 1: Visit choose dot b A dot Gov. Let's take a
Speaker 1: look at the Baptist Health Injury Report Baptist Health changing
Speaker 1: healthcare for good and in fact, we'll take a look
Speaker 1: at the reserve COVID nineteen list. As of this afternoon
Speaker 1: at ten till four. Let's see there are sixteen names,
Speaker 1: including two practice squad players still on the list officially
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com, including Dan Arnold, Ben Bartch, Caleb
Speaker 1: and Chaison, Rudy Ford, Shaq Griffin, Jacob Hollister, Brandon Linder,
Speaker 1: Lorendi McCray, Jadon Mickens, Dylan Moses, cam Robinson, Dawan Smoot,
Speaker 1: Ja two Fell and Andrew wingered to practice squad players
Speaker 1: or wide receiver Josh Hammond and guard Jared Hawker. Basically
Speaker 1: basically eight or nine starters depending on how you look
Speaker 1: at at calevan and and smooth. If you declare both
Speaker 1: of them, then it would be eight, and then it
Speaker 1: would be nine if you consider uh and I've considered
Speaker 1: Rudy Ford as a starter because he's the nickel, which
Speaker 1: he plays a ton, He's essentially a starter, and then
Speaker 1: Jaden could be considered ninth because he is your starting returner.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of guys and no other
Speaker 1: things today except the one practice squad player was off
Speaker 1: and then cut. And I would expect that, uh, that
Speaker 1: this will kind of clear out a little bit this
Speaker 1: week because the NFL protocols have changed and now you
Speaker 1: have to have back to back negative tests for players
Speaker 1: to come off of COVID. So I would expect to
Speaker 1: see a significant number return this week. And now the
Speaker 1: question will be how healthy will some of them be?
Speaker 1: Did you see? I wonder if the guys who came
Speaker 1: back and played in last week's game, the guys that
Speaker 1: came off the list late, you see it maybe a
Speaker 1: step behind. I mean, first of all, like Lavisca, who
Speaker 1: came off. Laviska didn't play a lot. They limited his
Speaker 1: reps and obviously his reps were limited last week. I
Speaker 1: thought Norwell actually played pretty well and the way in
Speaker 1: the games that he had played before, he had not
Speaker 1: been playing very well, So he was fine. Um trying
Speaker 1: to think who else came off in time for the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: couple editions late and they they added kept adding players.
Speaker 1: No man hurts. I thought it was fine, but he's
Speaker 1: mostly a blocking tight end Defensively, Devon Hamilton's did not
Speaker 1: play well. I thought Malcolm Hamilton's played pretty well, pretty solid.
Speaker 1: Jahad Ward came off of that list also, Uh, he
Speaker 1: was okay, Um, what was that with him? By the
Speaker 1: way he sacked him, got the penalty and then was
Speaker 1: trying to shake the referees hand. Yeah, it was. It
Speaker 1: was very weird and that he did. He got a
Speaker 1: sack of mac Jones. He actually had a good rush
Speaker 1: and then when he comes in on mac Jones, the
Speaker 1: arm swipes across and hits mac Jones and face mask.
Speaker 1: And while the officials are having a conversation about okay,
Speaker 1: was that roughing? Was it not roughing? Between the two
Speaker 1: officials that can see it, Well, he's just kind of
Speaker 1: standing about six or seven yards away. And then after
Speaker 1: the discussion breaks and the official goes to call the penalty,
Speaker 1: he walks right over to him and then sticks his
Speaker 1: hand out, and the officials like thanks. Going on here,
Speaker 1: he's very confused, you know, and then I think, joh Hotel,
Speaker 1: now I just want to shake your hand. He shakes
Speaker 1: his hand out. It's like almost like a gesture of saying, well,
Speaker 1: thank you. That was a good call. I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: going that's just kind of strange. Okay, yeah, but but
Speaker 1: it negated a big play and it was just one
Speaker 1: of those signs of the day. That's the way it was.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the a f C playoff picture,
Speaker 1: because they are still up for grabs. A few playoff
Speaker 1: spots coming down a week eighteen. Five teams have clinched
Speaker 1: playoff birth the Titans, the Chiefs, the Bengals, the Bills,
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. There are two teams still in the hunt,
Speaker 1: the Colts and the Chargers. On the bubble the Raiders,
Speaker 1: Steelers and Ravens, and the Chargers and Raiders played each
Speaker 1: other in the final game of the season. Great win
Speaker 1: by the way. Pittsburgh Steelers last night and what many
Speaker 1: view has Ben Roethlisberger's last game and Mike Rabel, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, should be the NFL coach of the year.
Speaker 1: I really believe that. I mean for for them to
Speaker 1: lose a player of the caliber of Derrick Henry and
Speaker 1: to still win. And when I say still win, even
Speaker 1: when you had Derrick Henry, the job that he has
Speaker 1: done as a coach there in Tennessee has been marvelous,
Speaker 1: and I hope he gets some consideration. The Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna want to play them in the playoffs because
Speaker 1: they started out extremely slow this year. They've them on
Speaker 1: and their quarterback is going to give them a chance
Speaker 1: in every game. And look out for Joe Burrow now
Speaker 1: in the Cincinnati Bengals. Young quarterback and his young wide
Speaker 1: receiver can absolutely light up a scoreboard. The Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: play good defense, got a mobile quarterback. The Patriots number
Speaker 1: one scoring defense. I mean, this a f C playoff picture.
Speaker 1: In the playoff battle is gonna be I mean, if
Speaker 1: you had to pick a favorite, could you No? No?
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's the beauty of the NFL. I mean,
Speaker 1: when we watch college football, JP. Did we ever think
Speaker 1: for a minute that Cincinnati had a chance, No, in
Speaker 1: the in the NF, in the a n c A playoff, No,
Speaker 1: you didn't think the That's the beauty of the NFL
Speaker 1: over college football, the NFC playoff picture. It's a little
Speaker 1: different now, different day at the top eight clinch home field,
Speaker 1: the l A. Rams. If Jalen stops punching his team
Speaker 1: mates in the huddle Tampa Bay at twelve and four,
Speaker 1: it was kind of face swiped him. It's kind of strange.
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco and the
Speaker 1: Hunt the Saints on the bubble. That's uh, those are
Speaker 1: the teams. It's pretty much buttoned up. Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers. I mean, it's kind of you just
Speaker 1: kind of get the sense that that's a team that's
Speaker 1: on a mission. With all the the scrutiny that Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers has been under and a lot of it well deserved,
Speaker 1: that they could be a team of destiny and the
Speaker 1: playoffs are gonna be going through some serious cold man.
Speaker 1: The road goes through Green Bay on the NFC side
Speaker 1: of things, And was there anything more crazy than Antonio Brown?
Speaker 1: And that Tampa New York Jets game this past week,
Speaker 1: that was that was a new one. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: anything like that. I don't think anybody has. And nothing
Speaker 1: has ever happened like that. It depends on, you know,
Speaker 1: the storyline you listen to. There was an ankle issue.
Speaker 1: They were trying, Okay, if you ankle issue, are you
Speaker 1: jumping up and down doing jumping? Jack's going to the tunnel?
Speaker 1: What's going on? And then such bs and you know,
Speaker 1: credit to Mike Evans on the sideline from the fan
Speaker 1: video that we saw that he was trying to calm
Speaker 1: him down. Hey, don't don't do it, don't take it off.
Speaker 1: He finally took off his pad through him and the
Speaker 1: rest is history. And he was sitting courtside of a
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets game last night, by the way, he was,
Speaker 1: And he put out a rap video the other day.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was looking to promote the rap video. I
Speaker 1: don't know either. It's all come that that. Those are
Speaker 1: the two things that have happened since Sunday. And look, look,
Speaker 1: I'd like to find some compassion for the guy Tom Brady, Okay,
Speaker 1: because that's what Tom Brady's was asking for a little compassion. Right,
Speaker 1: give me a reason why with what you're talking about. Right,
Speaker 1: he walked out on him and they came back and
Speaker 1: won the football game too, by the way, Uh with
Speaker 1: a guy who didn't play college football making the touchdown catch.
Speaker 1: And it's just crazy like that that you got videos
Speaker 1: out on social media the taxi cab driver or whatever
Speaker 1: that took him out of the stadium, and you know
Speaker 1: there's reports that he was denied transportation. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just a it's all. There's so many lies that follow
Speaker 1: him that it's it's it's incredible. It just it takes
Speaker 1: away from the football. That's that's a team that could
Speaker 1: make some noise in the postseason violated. And now he's
Speaker 1: not a problem for that anymore. He violated the one
Speaker 1: thing as a player that you never violate, and that's
Speaker 1: leaving an abandoning your teammates in battle. You never do that.
Speaker 1: They were literally on offense on the field too. He
Speaker 1: will never I mean, I don't see how anybody or
Speaker 1: any player that plays this great game, or that has
Speaker 1: play this great game whatever, accept him into the huddle again.
Speaker 1: I would be shocked. Good thing they didn't break the
Speaker 1: huddle because I think they would have twelve menu on
Speaker 1: the field. Officially he was in the end zone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was on the field. And technically it's a crazy one.
Speaker 1: That was a wild one. Craziness. So all right, I
Speaker 1: come it up and just a few moments it's the
Speaker 1: Jaguars Coaches Show, the final Jaguars Coaches Show on the
Speaker 1: schedule for the season. We will not have one next week. Well,
Speaker 1: I will say this, I've appreciated the professionalism that Daryl
Speaker 1: Bevil has had and he was a refreshing change for
Speaker 1: us this year during the Coaches Show because uh uh
Speaker 1: nothing no fence to Urban Meyer. But it wasn't exactly
Speaker 1: an enjoyable process, and Daryl made it fun again and
Speaker 1: makes it fun again. And I appreciate him because that's
Speaker 1: a tough position to be in when you've had all
Speaker 1: the drama that this organization has had this year and
Speaker 1: then to be asked to be the interim head coach,
Speaker 1: and he's handled it with professionalism and grace, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate him for that tough place to be right now.
Speaker 1: For him. Also, you've got you don't know what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen in the future coming up next week even and
Speaker 1: you've got all this COVID nineteen stuff going on. You've
Speaker 1: got to try to rally this team and get him
Speaker 1: to do something they haven't done in two months. And
Speaker 1: that's what And you know you you as a coach.
Speaker 1: I mean, all these coaches that came to this staff
Speaker 1: came here to work with her Ramiro and he's gone.
Speaker 1: And they have contracts, and they look, they have families
Speaker 1: and so the and they're all expecting, okay that they
Speaker 1: sign a two or three year contract. Hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be here three years. The family thinks are gonna be
Speaker 1: here three years at least, have an opportunity to be
Speaker 1: here for a couple of years at least. And now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, all of these coaches, families, et cetera,
Speaker 1: are into the unknown where they don't know what the
Speaker 1: future holds. And so I feel for him because that's
Speaker 1: a that's a tough place to be. All you can
Speaker 1: focus on now is the week ahead, and we will
Speaker 1: hear from Daryl Bevil coming up to get his thoughts
Speaker 1: on the past week in New England and the week
Speaker 1: ahead against the Indianapolis Colts that all is coming up
Speaker 1: and they have the Jags will try to defend their
Speaker 1: home tour for one final time against the Colts this
Speaker 1: Sunday at one o'clock. In Week eight, team coming up
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Coaches Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. This
Speaker 1: has been Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network.
