Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, December two. This is Jaguars Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours brought to you by the Fields Auto
Speaker 1: Group and now a guy who gives us the best
Speaker 1: chance head wind up winning j Peace Shadra. Welcome in
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour, presented by the Fields Auto Group. It's
Speaker 1: Wednesday of Week thirteen. There is still a Week twelve
Speaker 1: game going on right now in the NFL. We'll keep
Speaker 1: you posted on the Steelers and the Ravens coming up.
Speaker 1: We have a busy show ahead. The Bucky Brooks and
Speaker 1: John Os will be along shortly. The Dave calledwell, aftermath,
Speaker 1: what now for the Jaguars? What options could they have
Speaker 1: for the general manager position. We'll hear Bucky's take on that.
Speaker 1: It's on the Minnesota where the Vikings need the game,
Speaker 1: certainly to stay in the wild card race in the NFC.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are trying to snap a ten game losing
Speaker 1: skid and I'll have to do it on the road.
Speaker 1: We'll have a preview of that game coming up. The
Speaker 1: uniform unveiling about four thirty. Jimmy Luck, the head equipment manager,
Speaker 1: will join us to show off with the Jags will
Speaker 1: wear at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday, and
Speaker 1: we'll play big game Jaguar. We'll pick a Jaguar to
Speaker 1: have a big game this Sunday, Bucky Brooks shadows, you're
Speaker 1: joining us now. The Steelers lead the Ravens six nothing.
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger through a red zone interception and then Robert Griffin
Speaker 1: the third threw it right back to them. They returned
Speaker 1: it for a touchdown and it's the extra point six
Speaker 1: nothing and it's Wednesday afternoon football. Bucky, you're excited. It
Speaker 1: looks like yeah. Look it's it's like the s C
Speaker 1: Double A tournament. It's one of those things that you
Speaker 1: look up, you go to refrigerator. Oh, a game is on. Man,
Speaker 1: I think I'll sit down and grab some chips and
Speaker 1: watch this. It doesn't get much better than this JP
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday on ump Day, we got more. I'm
Speaker 1: liking football every I'm a big fan, right right. I
Speaker 1: get the sense that you are yes with your excitement there, John,
Speaker 1: Are you as excited as Bucky? It doesn't look like it.
Speaker 1: I'm ecstatic. I just want to know, Bucky, can you
Speaker 1: concentrate here for forty five minutes before you go gaga
Speaker 1: and your kids, I need you for forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: I need to scout do I'm locked in. I'm locked
Speaker 1: in and focus. I have the TV turned down only
Speaker 1: doing commercial breaks. Man, I glanced up and see what's
Speaker 1: going on, but I'm locked in right here. Alright, We're
Speaker 1: locked in. We're ready to go as Jaguars Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: Bucky has his chips at the ready and we're ready
Speaker 1: to talk about some ball. Let's get right into the
Speaker 1: Jaguars though, obviously the biggest news story of the week
Speaker 1: was the firing of Dave Caldwell Sunday evening about five
Speaker 1: thirty or so after the Jaguars lost to the Browns.
Speaker 1: And now the next step, what's going to happen after
Speaker 1: the season. The attractiveness of the job is pretty high.
Speaker 1: And got a patient owner. You've got big salary cap,
Speaker 1: barroom next year, You've got two first round draft picks,
Speaker 1: a load of picks in the entire draft next year, Bucky,
Speaker 1: the Auto compare pretty well to some other openings around
Speaker 1: the NFL. It absolutely will compare will to some of
Speaker 1: the other openings because, as we've talked about and we've discussed,
Speaker 1: this is a great situation and the opportunity for you
Speaker 1: to put in a program and to have enough time
Speaker 1: to really see it from beginning to end. Patient owner
Speaker 1: Shot Kun has shown and demonstrated the patients that he
Speaker 1: exhibited with Dave Colwill. You didn't think about the amount
Speaker 1: of money that he's willing to spend the salary cap.
Speaker 1: Situation is terrific. You have multiple draft picks and multiple
Speaker 1: rounds of this draft, including two first rounders, and then
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to really put your infant on
Speaker 1: a franchise that is desperately looking for a winner. Um.
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of good things about
Speaker 1: this situation. Oh, by the way, the location, You're right
Speaker 1: in the middle of sec country where the hot bed
Speaker 1: of prospects are. I think this is exactly what you want.
Speaker 1: If you're g im looking for a gig. What are
Speaker 1: you looking for here? John m as as shod con
Speaker 1: play Shot Khan for a moment. What do you want
Speaker 1: to get accomplished? You know? And I've got this question
Speaker 1: a lot as being a little sarcastic, but everybody asked
Speaker 1: me what else should they go young? Like Dave was,
Speaker 1: did they go with experience? Yea, I hope and I'm
Speaker 1: sure he will. I don't think Shoan is gonna look
Speaker 1: for a blueprint. I don't think he's gonna say, hey,
Speaker 1: I want a young guy, I want a veteran guy.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna try to find the bet and
Speaker 1: listen for what he wants to hear from them, not
Speaker 1: what he wants to here in terms of, hey, you
Speaker 1: have a great team, but the kind of thing he
Speaker 1: wants from it. I don't really know who the best
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be, but I do know something interesting
Speaker 1: about this job that Bucky touched on. Usually when GM
Speaker 1: jobs come open, they're a year out from being a
Speaker 1: good job because the last GM has burnt everything trying
Speaker 1: to get a team on the field. Meaning you don't
Speaker 1: have draft picked because you've traded them all away trying
Speaker 1: to be good. You haven't set up the salary cap
Speaker 1: because you've spent because you're trying to save your job.
Speaker 1: Credit to Dave Cauldwell, I know people don't like hearing this,
Speaker 1: but he cleaned things up last year to a staggering
Speaker 1: degree for a guy who knew that he had to
Speaker 1: win this year to do it. So it's a it's
Speaker 1: a unique situation for a GM. I don't care who
Speaker 1: gets it as long as you pick the right quarterback.
Speaker 1: That's when it comes down to Bucky. It starts there quarterback,
Speaker 1: and then everything else around the quarterback. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the quarterback certainly plays a big part and and changing
Speaker 1: and reversing the fortunes of the franchise. And then it's
Speaker 1: about making sure that when you're looking at the quarterback
Speaker 1: and I put him in a situation that's the right
Speaker 1: environment for him when it comes to the coaching staff
Speaker 1: and the players around him, you know that this is
Speaker 1: It's interesting, John, because you talked about hiring a good GM,
Speaker 1: and I do often wonder for owners do they know
Speaker 1: exactly what they're looking for when it comes to who
Speaker 1: is a good GM, because a lot of the stuff
Speaker 1: is is really unknown. When you're talking about the new
Speaker 1: young hire, are they ready to really handle all the responsibilities.
Speaker 1: Do you have enough time for them to grow into
Speaker 1: the job. Do you want someone who has experience, who
Speaker 1: may have faltered at a previous spot but learned from
Speaker 1: those failures and he is able to really implement his
Speaker 1: plan and get it into place and make decisions based
Speaker 1: off experience and wisdom. It's a very very difficult deal
Speaker 1: for owners because it is a different process than maybe
Speaker 1: they use in their business. Is I just wonder how
Speaker 1: Shot can and all of his colleagues will kind of
Speaker 1: figure it out and determine this is the best guy
Speaker 1: to implement a program that will get us back to
Speaker 1: where we want to be. J And I know you
Speaker 1: gotta ask me a question. I think it's brutally difficult.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why so many franchises sort of,
Speaker 1: if not flounder, but aren't sure how to do it
Speaker 1: because you don't know. As Bucky said, it's a different process,
Speaker 1: and it's not like another owner. It's not like the
Speaker 1: owner of the chief is picking up the phone and
Speaker 1: telling Shot, hey, these guys are good. You know, it's competitive.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants the rest of the NFL doesn't want Shot
Speaker 1: to hire the right guy, so it's it's really difficult.
Speaker 1: The second thing is GM is not a very often
Speaker 1: recycled position. It happens, but it's not like head coaches
Speaker 1: where guys get two or three chances. Young gms who
Speaker 1: don't make it often spend the rest of their career
Speaker 1: is director of play personnel or special consultant or things
Speaker 1: like that. So it's it's a brutally hard job and
Speaker 1: it's certainly not as easy as fans think it is. Hey,
Speaker 1: just pick the right guy. GM is crucial, and it's
Speaker 1: it's incredibly difficult to find the right guy, but it's
Speaker 1: incredibly important, all right. You can go a few different routes,
Speaker 1: obviously to to get the right guy, depending on the organization.
Speaker 1: You can go face with the franchise type like in
Speaker 1: Denver with with the L way right you go TV
Speaker 1: or former scout route. You know, we've we've seen that
Speaker 1: happen before in Oakland recently. You can have somebody Buck
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks could be one of those um somebody who's
Speaker 1: done it before. And as you said, John, it's rare
Speaker 1: to have a GM get a second gig somewhere, but
Speaker 1: it is a possibility. And Bucky. You could go someone
Speaker 1: from a successful program, somebody in the system in Kansas
Speaker 1: City or in Baltimore. Which would you prefer Bucky if
Speaker 1: you were making anything JP. This is tough, but here
Speaker 1: here's here's what I say, and here's what I think
Speaker 1: is really really important. If I had two or three
Speaker 1: minutes to talk to Shotgun, what I would do is
Speaker 1: this when you're looking to hire someone to take over Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: look at someone that's coming from an organization that has
Speaker 1: had to deal with similar circumstances and challenges. Small market,
Speaker 1: not necessarily a major market where you have all of
Speaker 1: the resources, you're having to attract people to come here.
Speaker 1: It has to be more of a homegrown model. Examples
Speaker 1: would be Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Buffalo because those are unique circumstances.
Speaker 1: So I think it's really important to understand what you're
Speaker 1: offering and selling and where you are in terms of
Speaker 1: the landscape. I think the big thing when when I
Speaker 1: think about the general manager, general manager has to have
Speaker 1: a clear vision for how to win games and how
Speaker 1: to make a team competitively competitive year after year after year.
Speaker 1: As fans, we want the team to be in the
Speaker 1: super Bowl every year. But I think a realistic thing
Speaker 1: is can I get a team that consistently wins ten
Speaker 1: plus games a year? Because ten plus games a year
Speaker 1: will put us in the tournament and give us a shot.
Speaker 1: Then it's about what is the model that we want
Speaker 1: to use. Are we a homegrown model? Are we gonna
Speaker 1: draft and develop resign our players and those guys are
Speaker 1: going to be our core are we going to spend
Speaker 1: money and try and acquire free agents? All of that
Speaker 1: stuff matters when I look at it. Jpu said, they
Speaker 1: come in a couple of different things. You have the
Speaker 1: retra has guys who've been experienced. You have the young
Speaker 1: upcoming guys, and then you have guys that are coming
Speaker 1: from TV. The retray as I think offer some interesting names.
Speaker 1: John Dorsey from Cleveland in Kansas City. We've seen what
Speaker 1: he's done. His personality is a little unique and you
Speaker 1: have to be comfortable with that, but a great evaluator.
Speaker 1: Thomas dematrof Atlanta. There may be some pause to do
Speaker 1: that because Dave carl Will came from that. You may
Speaker 1: want to do something different. I think Rick Smith could
Speaker 1: be an interesting candidate, not only because he's been a
Speaker 1: GM before, but he's been in that division. He understand
Speaker 1: the teams in that division. And then I think I'll
Speaker 1: throw another name out Scott Pioli. He did it once
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. It didn't go well. I think he's
Speaker 1: learned a lot and that could be the challenge the
Speaker 1: young guys that canna be a bunch of young guys.
Speaker 1: I'll throw him out there quickly. Joe Shane from Buffalo,
Speaker 1: assistant general manager, small market. We worked together in Carolina.
Speaker 1: He's seen it done a few different ways. Ryan Cowden,
Speaker 1: who's also in Tennessee, young guy Joe Shane and him
Speaker 1: work together. That name would be floated out. Brandon Hunt
Speaker 1: is a young play a young developed U director for
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steellers small market. And so those guys are intriguing.
Speaker 1: And then in TV is Lewis Riddick, Danna Jeremiah. Are
Speaker 1: those guys ready to handle all of the responsibilities we
Speaker 1: hear their opinions or are they ready for the job?
Speaker 1: You left your name out Bucky can't can't do a
Speaker 1: little promotion, can do a little sulf promotion is I
Speaker 1: think this is he taking like who disclosed it. I
Speaker 1: think this is a great job, and I think it's
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for a general manager to come in
Speaker 1: and really have a lot of success. I think it's
Speaker 1: important that we understand for twenty five years things have
Speaker 1: been done a certain way. Even though coach Coughlin left
Speaker 1: and came back, all of the success, all of the building,
Speaker 1: all of the tradition kind of goes back to him.
Speaker 1: This would be the first time that Jacksonville will kind
Speaker 1: of move away from that and establish their own culture
Speaker 1: and their own traditions. It would be interesting and unique
Speaker 1: to see that because we haven't seen it in twenty
Speaker 1: five years. For the Jacksonville franchise being up in existence,
Speaker 1: no doubt that's a lot to come. Will that will
Speaker 1: have an interesting week after the season. It sounds like
Speaker 1: of of everything happening there and plenty of conversation in
Speaker 1: the month ahead to be had on this topic. We'll
Speaker 1: come back in a moment, though, and get into this
Speaker 1: week's game. The Jaguars get the Minnesota Vikings this week
Speaker 1: at US Banks Stadium in Minneapolis. Jaguars Happy Hour is

Speaker 1: seventy nine. The Ravens have scored. There's a minute thirty
Speaker 1: two left in the first quarter. Ravens are in the
Speaker 1: end zone seven six, Baltimore leading Pittsburgh, and the final
Speaker 1: moments of the first quarter pick six for the Steelers
Speaker 1: and Edwards with a one yard touchdown. Run for the
Speaker 1: Ravens with the extra point. The difference so far are
Speaker 1: and we'll keep posted on that football game as we
Speaker 1: move along. Let's get to the Jaguars game in week
Speaker 1: thirteen coming up in Minneapolis. Mike Glennon will get another start, John,
Speaker 1: We heard from him today, We heard from Doug Maron
Speaker 1: earlier this morning as well. And you know, Maron wouldn't
Speaker 1: commit to glenn and the rest of the year. He
Speaker 1: wouldn't commit to any position the rest of the year,
Speaker 1: week to week, day to day type of thing. That's
Speaker 1: the way Maron explained it. And Glennon understands that he
Speaker 1: has to go out and perform and and every week
Speaker 1: give his team the best opportunity to win. And that's
Speaker 1: why he's starting this week. At least according to Maron,
Speaker 1: he gives the Jaguars the best chance to win. So
Speaker 1: it's Glennon's gig for this week, John Well, And it
Speaker 1: paused a little bit of, you know, yes, discussion among
Speaker 1: fans and observers because Gardner Minshew's health and Doug specified
Speaker 1: that when he talked about it, and still went with Glennon.
Speaker 1: And I think the reason is simple. If you listen
Speaker 1: to some of what Jay Gruden talked about after the fact.
Speaker 1: J Gruden offensive coordinator, he mentioned and so it did
Speaker 1: Doug this week, Glennon took some shot throws down field
Speaker 1: a little more. The experience, they like, gets other guys
Speaker 1: in good position. Yeah, I said anything about Jake Luton,
Speaker 1: I thought that if Jake Lewton, if the wheels hadn't
Speaker 1: come off, I think he was going to be the
Speaker 1: starter going forward. I feel the same thing about Glennon.
Speaker 1: If the wheels don't come off, he's a starter going forward.
Speaker 1: I don't send any urgency or any real chance, I guess,
Speaker 1: and then to go back to Minshew unless they're forced
Speaker 1: to do it, because I just don't think there's a
Speaker 1: reason to do it at this point. Yeah, it feels
Speaker 1: like that ship might have sailed a little bit bucky. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it has. And I think what they wanted
Speaker 1: to do is they wanted to give order Mitch you
Speaker 1: every opportunity to win the job and show that he
Speaker 1: could be the guy. But I think it was clear
Speaker 1: interference that he wasn't. I think there's some comfort with
Speaker 1: Mike Lennon the experience. It's the management ability we always
Speaker 1: kind of derived quarterbacks were being managers. But the management
Speaker 1: piece is a big part of being successful, and I
Speaker 1: think in that game there was a sense of calm
Speaker 1: that we saw from the offense. He could get them
Speaker 1: in and out of different place and even though he
Speaker 1: may have some athletic limitations, I think his experience, his knowledge,
Speaker 1: his wisdom added something to the offense. And I think
Speaker 1: the offense operated at the much smoother fashion with the
Speaker 1: veteran at quarterback. And and this was an offense without
Speaker 1: Chark and Connoly available last week as well. I mean
Speaker 1: they run the ball very well obviously with James Robinson,
Speaker 1: but they didn't have two of their top contributors john
Speaker 1: on offense last week. And we'll see. Uh. They were
Speaker 1: back on the practice field a little bit today, which
Speaker 1: is a good sign at least to get those guys
Speaker 1: back and that could help matters on the offensive side. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's always good when you have DJ Tark in the
Speaker 1: field for this team. And you know, I think Dj
Speaker 1: would light playing with a guy like Glennan who has
Speaker 1: the arm to get the ball downfield. You know, a
Speaker 1: ball like Glennan through to Colin Johnson last week yard
Speaker 1: or you know, it was a great play by Johnson's
Speaker 1: also a big time passed by Glennon. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that's what his resume may is going to be going forward,
Speaker 1: but he certainly gives you a chance to make some
Speaker 1: plays downfield. I getting Shark back for this offense is
Speaker 1: so big because whatever you say about James Robinson, and
Speaker 1: he's been great, DJ Shark is as good as any
Speaker 1: offensive player this team has. It's always important when he's
Speaker 1: on the field. Now, we heard from James Robinson today
Speaker 1: and we talked about him every week and rightly so.
Speaker 1: He's a huge chunk of what the Jaguars do on
Speaker 1: the offensive side. And he continued with another big game,
Speaker 1: his biggest scrimmage yard day of the season last week
Speaker 1: in fact, and we asked him today, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: it's week thirteen, twelve games in. This is the equivalent
Speaker 1: of a college season for him. And I think Bucky
Speaker 1: to see the next month how he handles five extra
Speaker 1: games on his calendar and getting ready to go every
Speaker 1: week and being the bell cow. He's the guy they
Speaker 1: haven't been really anybody else in the backfield there. How
Speaker 1: he handles that down the stretch. I think we'll we'll
Speaker 1: tell you a lot about his preparation week to week. Bucky, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to be learned over the
Speaker 1: next few weeks about James Robinson. I think he is
Speaker 1: already impressed. I think he's already shown that he can
Speaker 1: be a long term solution at the position. But you
Speaker 1: want to see how he finishes because this will determine
Speaker 1: is he good or is he really a great player?
Speaker 1: Does he have the stuff to really be a guy
Speaker 1: that we talk about as an elite player Because we
Speaker 1: have seen some undrafted guys in the past have moments.
Speaker 1: We've seen Philip Lindsay go to a Pro Bowl and
Speaker 1: have a moment. We've seen Austin Ekeler have moments. What
Speaker 1: we're trying to determine is ken James Robinson have an
Speaker 1: epic career coming from the undrafted free agent status to
Speaker 1: really being a guy that we respect as a big
Speaker 1: time here. And so as he continues to carve out
Speaker 1: and chew up these yards, the more comfortable we will
Speaker 1: be in really saying, hey, Jacksonville already has the number
Speaker 1: one running back in place. They need to go elsewhere
Speaker 1: when it comes to filling out the knees on their roster.
Speaker 1: As they look to the draft and free agency and
Speaker 1: some other vehicles for player acquisition. Well, John James said
Speaker 1: today that they didn't even have a hot tub at
Speaker 1: Illinois State, so having all the things that his disposed
Speaker 1: to keep his body ready to go is a little
Speaker 1: different here in the NFL, and he's using it wisely
Speaker 1: so far. I don't have one here either, JP, and
Speaker 1: join the club now. Everybody gets a hot tub in
Speaker 1: their lives, and I know Bucky's lounging and one out
Speaker 1: there watching the Steelers. I think, what's yes, that's impressed.
Speaker 1: Getting back to what Bucky said, I would be done
Speaker 1: at this point if James Robinson falls off in the
Speaker 1: last five games. His approach, he's so levelheaded. He seems
Speaker 1: to take the aim approached every week. Nothing overwhelms him.
Speaker 1: And I keep hearing the Emmett Smith comparison with him.
Speaker 1: I keep talking about it. He reminds me of Emmett
Speaker 1: in that way. He doesn't take a lot of hit.
Speaker 1: He doesn't take a lot of direct hits. I don't
Speaker 1: know that he would tell you that he's had a
Speaker 1: great deal of wear and tear on his body. Yet
Speaker 1: he wouldn't tell you because backs don't, but I doubt
Speaker 1: he's feeling very much. He runs in a style that's
Speaker 1: going to help him have longevity. He runs in a
Speaker 1: style where he should be consistent. Look at his numbers.
Speaker 1: He never has a bad game and he doesn't get carries,
Speaker 1: but he never has a bad game because he makes
Speaker 1: guys missed. His vision is so good. I don't have
Speaker 1: any question. This guy's a long term answer, and I
Speaker 1: think he's one of the best. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: know how to rank him, but he he's really good
Speaker 1: and he's going to be good for a long time.
Speaker 1: He's really good. Everything goes forward. We've talked about that
Speaker 1: last week, and you know, going into last week's game,
Speaker 1: he only had eleven carries for negative yardage all season.
Speaker 1: That's still the case even after last week's game. He
Speaker 1: didn't have any negative runs a week ago, and that's
Speaker 1: through a good chunk of the schedules so far. So
Speaker 1: James Robinson off to a fantastic start. While we're almost
Speaker 1: to the end. He's had a great season. Let's slip
Speaker 1: it around. Jaguar's defense this week and most weeks is thin,
Speaker 1: and that's the way it's going to be moving ahead.
Speaker 1: Alan Hamilton, Henderson, Hayden all In. I are just to
Speaker 1: name a few off the list of the guys that
Speaker 1: are banged up. And this is a They're facing a
Speaker 1: Vikings offense that's starting to get warmed up, guys with
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins going over a hundred rating for five weeks
Speaker 1: in a row there, four and one in that stretch.
Speaker 1: They've got the weapons coming back. Theland's coming off the
Speaker 1: COVID list this week, so he should be available and ready.
Speaker 1: They've got Jefferson, the young guy who's playing well outside.
Speaker 1: They've got the running back of course, Bucky. And they
Speaker 1: need this game. They're up against it too. They need
Speaker 1: to keep up with the pace in the NFC. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a tough matchup. I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: much more difficult matchup than the one we saw a
Speaker 1: week ago. And that's saying something because I think Cleveland
Speaker 1: is really, really good. Uh. The problem that you have
Speaker 1: with Minnesota is you not only have the challenges of
Speaker 1: dealing with Dalvin Cook in the running game, you have
Speaker 1: to elite route runners on the perimeter and Adam Feeling
Speaker 1: and Justin Jefferson and for everything that you need to
Speaker 1: do to contain to run, putting extra defenders in the box.
Speaker 1: You leave your defenders, your defensive back to your cornerbacks,
Speaker 1: and one on one coverage with Feeling and Jefferson. And
Speaker 1: it has been proven time and time again that guys
Speaker 1: can't cover these guys. And so you're Todd Washington, You're
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what is the best way to
Speaker 1: slow down this offense. I simply don't know what you do.
Speaker 1: Because this is one of the more balanced offenses that
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has faced, and it is going to be man
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a workman like effort from everyone involved
Speaker 1: to really keep them under wraps. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: moving parts. John, Yeah, I don't think they will keep
Speaker 1: him under apps as. Like you said, this is a
Speaker 1: really good offense and even more dangerous. Zimmer is such
Speaker 1: a good defensive coach. They start out kind of rocky,
Speaker 1: and they've gotten better in recent weeks. He's also a
Speaker 1: coach that, to me from looking at it from afar,
Speaker 1: tends to hold his team together very well over the
Speaker 1: course of a lot of seasons. He does it every year,
Speaker 1: and it hasn't always been the most talented team. For
Speaker 1: a long time, they didn't have a quarterback. So when
Speaker 1: they're five and six and they are fighting to get
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and they've got a home game against
Speaker 1: a team they ought to beat. You if they lose
Speaker 1: their seasons over problem. If they win all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: they're right back in it. I like to look at
Speaker 1: December games psychologically that way, contending team usually doesn't lose
Speaker 1: the non contending team once it gets down to brass tacks.
Speaker 1: I think you're in brass tack time and I have
Speaker 1: a tough I'm seeing the Jaguars figure out a way
Speaker 1: to win that, especially with the combination receivers plus Dalvin Cook.
Speaker 1: Hard team to stop in the red zone Jaguars are
Speaker 1: up against. So tough one this week for the Jaguars
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis against those Minnesota Vikings. We're back in a moment.
Speaker 1: We'll see what the Jags will wear. On Sunday, Jimmy
Speaker 1: Luck will join us, head equipment manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars,

Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Field's Auto Group. On Wednesday,
Speaker 1: going into Week thirteen, the Jaguars in the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: at us Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. J P. Shadrick, Bucky Brooks,
Speaker 1: JOT Osier and we go to t I A bank
Speaker 1: field and welcome in head equipment manager for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck. Jimmy, good afternoon. What's up here, Jimmy, are
Speaker 1: you there? We've got you, Yes, what's up? I'm looking
Speaker 1: at well, we're having a little delay issue obviously today.
Speaker 1: So all right, heading up to Minnesota. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a question I think was I think Bucky might have
Speaker 1: thought about it after the fact. Last week there was
Speaker 1: some talk about I think the Rams, Bucky, if I'm correct,
Speaker 1: wanted to are talking about trying to change their uniforms
Speaker 1: multiple times. Is that right? And so the so the
Speaker 1: Rams out here, Kevin Dimout, the president for the Rams,
Speaker 1: had said that he wants to introduce a new jersey
Speaker 1: each and every year, so they have. He said he
Speaker 1: wanted to take something that he's seen from soccer teams
Speaker 1: over in Europe, where you just always add to the
Speaker 1: uniform each and every year, that the fans would be excited.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask, Jimmy, is that something that
Speaker 1: is even doable in Jacksonville to continue to add jersey
Speaker 1: tops in uniforms and just different ensemble pieces too. I
Speaker 1: guess I don't know, create a wide collection for the
Speaker 1: fans to enjoy. Uh. Yes, yes, Um. It's kind of
Speaker 1: a tough feel really allowed really for uniforms the way
Speaker 1: it's currently set up, UM. And one of those has
Speaker 1: to be like a like a color rush, an alternate,
Speaker 1: and then a throwback, and then you have your two
Speaker 1: kind of normal regular you know, home, home and road Jersey,
Speaker 1: so you can have a little bit of leeway. UM.
Speaker 1: I got a feeling at some point soon some of
Speaker 1: these rules will change. I know the helmet, um, you know,
Speaker 1: having a different color helmet. There's been a lot of
Speaker 1: momentum gaming for at you know how I used to
Speaker 1: could wear different color helmets and and things like that.
Speaker 1: So I think that could be something coming down the line.
Speaker 1: UM at some point, you know, probably the next couple
Speaker 1: of years or so. The current rule though, is what
Speaker 1: five years for the major change, Is that right, Jimmy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So once you redo a uniform like we did in
Speaker 1: thirteen and then again in UM seven or eighteen, you
Speaker 1: have to do it obviously five years. UM. Now after
Speaker 1: three years, you can make a change, UM, like if
Speaker 1: you wanted to switch your home and your alternate, so
Speaker 1: you know, UM, if we wanted to make teal the
Speaker 1: home jersey and black the alternate. We could do that
Speaker 1: at the end of this year, John, I know, miss
Speaker 1: is the mustard so or the gold right gold rush back? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's it's actually called open um. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: is our gold and bluster is our keel. So um,
Speaker 1: you know, make sure you use the right pronouns there,
Speaker 1: So thank you, thank you. Ain't The only exception of that,
Speaker 1: JP is if there's an ownership change, you can change
Speaker 1: quicker than five years in some cases. But beyond that,
Speaker 1: Jimmy's right, he's the boy. That's right. That's uh, that's fact,
Speaker 1: all right. So heading to another road game, couple of
Speaker 1: home games in a row here, Jimmy even back out
Speaker 1: on the road. You know, it's a dome obviously in
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, which is a good thing. It's not going
Speaker 1: to be just bitterly cold they're outside going into the game,
Speaker 1: but um, you know, what's the condition like there? I
Speaker 1: know there was a preseason game there, what a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago right after the trailing camp went up
Speaker 1: there and practice for three days against the Vikings and
Speaker 1: then played. I think that's the only visit to that
Speaker 1: stadium for the Jags. Yeah, that's that's a pretty neat
Speaker 1: little place up there. Um, it's a I guess they
Speaker 1: call it a fixed roof, so it doesn't open or clothes.
Speaker 1: It's always closed, which is probably pretty good because it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be mid thirties up there and middle teens
Speaker 1: at night. But but yeah, it's a very cool, impressive stadium,
Speaker 1: big open, the kind of the kind of a glass
Speaker 1: looking ceiling sort of kind of lets a lot of
Speaker 1: the natural light in. So it's it's pretty cool. It's
Speaker 1: it's a neat place to go with the field turf,
Speaker 1: with all the pellets and all that. Yeah, we'll have that. Um,
Speaker 1: you know they there's so many different variations of that. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure the true technical name, but for
Speaker 1: the layman, yeah, it's it's field turf. Okay, good enough,
Speaker 1: let's figure out now if you would please. It's what
Speaker 1: we wait for every week. It's a rating spike. In fact, Um,
Speaker 1: what will the Jaguars wear this Sunday at US Bank
Speaker 1: Stadium to face the Vikings? Jimmy, please, we're going with
Speaker 1: the white jerseys and ben Bart ben Bart, Yeah, Minnis,
Speaker 1: we went to school. So and then we'll where the
Speaker 1: black pants with it? Well, okay, white, white over black, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ben Bartch going back to Minnesota to face the Vikings.
Speaker 1: BArch had a lot of playing time last week as
Speaker 1: well on the offensive line and a draft pick this
Speaker 1: year out of Division three St. John's in Minnesota. Alright,
Speaker 1: White over Black for the Jaguars this week, Jimmy, have
Speaker 1: a good trip. We'll talk to you again next week
Speaker 1: in week fourteen. The decorations in the background there all

Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group.
Speaker 1: The Jags are headed to Minneapolis this Sunday to face
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are in the wild card
Speaker 1: race and the NFC they need to win some football
Speaker 1: games to keep pace. The Jaguars are officially eliminated. They've
Speaker 1: lost ten in a row, a one and ten record
Speaker 1: when of course, on opening weekend. And that's about it
Speaker 1: for the Jags, and the GM has gone now and
Speaker 1: the five games to go down the stretch here the
Speaker 1: Jags will try to wreck some things for some opponents
Speaker 1: down the stretch and see what happens down in the
Speaker 1: next month here in December, it's sign out, guys to
Speaker 1: play big game Jaguar. Yes, you guessed it. This is
Speaker 1: where we pick a Jaguar to have a big game
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Bucky Brooks kick us off. Okay, So we
Speaker 1: talked earlier about the limit that the Minnesota Bike has
Speaker 1: present with their run gaming their receivers. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Tray Herdon Herndon on the corner. He has to
Speaker 1: step up and play well I think against Justin Jefferson
Speaker 1: or Adam Feeling. He is going to have to be
Speaker 1: able to hold up on the island. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: he's going to find a way to do so, and
Speaker 1: that's going to be critical to the defense's success. All Right,
Speaker 1: Trey Herndon outside, tough matchup against the good wide receivers
Speaker 1: this week, John Ozer, what you got? All right? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any grief from the scout
Speaker 1: about this. He has a tendency to call me give
Speaker 1: me a lot of great I went to James Robin
Speaker 1: and the reason I went there it's an easy pick.
Speaker 1: It's low hanging fruit. I get that. I haven't think
Speaker 1: James Robinson for big game Jaguars all year. You're one
Speaker 1: in ten ten game losing streak. I get to have
Speaker 1: an easy one for one. But you know, he's always
Speaker 1: big game Jaguar, So there's really nothing unusual about this
Speaker 1: one except for the fact what you talked about with
Speaker 1: the Vikings offense. Yeah, the Jaguars are the point now.
Speaker 1: They have to control some clock at some point, and
Speaker 1: you have to get some place from Mike Glennon to
Speaker 1: allow James Robinson to run. But he needs to control
Speaker 1: the game, have a game similar to last week where
Speaker 1: he has a hundred scrimmage yards. They're at the point now.
Speaker 1: If they don't get that from him, it's hard to
Speaker 1: imagine them being competitive at the end. But I do
Speaker 1: think they'll be competitive at the end of this game.
Speaker 1: You think, so, okay, there you have a James Robinson.
Speaker 1: We could rename the segment after James Robinson. In fact,
Speaker 1: he's been on this by one of us every week.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Miles Jack on the defensive side, you know,
Speaker 1: and I guess the corners I think are the really
Speaker 1: big matchup. But Miles is a guy who can make
Speaker 1: some big plays on defense and has this year when
Speaker 1: he's been out there and healthy, he's played very well.
Speaker 1: And they need a big game. I think from from
Speaker 1: Miles jack this week, especially with all those interchanging parts
Speaker 1: behind them in the secondary this week. If you have
Speaker 1: the solid linebacker play, you also need better play up
Speaker 1: front of the defensive lind to help these guys out.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with Myles jack Um and if
Speaker 1: he has a big game, I think the Jaguars can
Speaker 1: hang in this game. But I think it's up to
Speaker 1: those guys. And you know what I must say, the
Speaker 1: Trey Herndon pick I think wins if we're if we're
Speaker 1: grading this week, that's the one because of the matchup outside.
Speaker 1: So congratulations Bucky, you win big game. Jaguar the win
Speaker 1: Darts and now James Robinson is a close second, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. All Right. That'll do it for our show today.
Speaker 1: By the way, the Steelers Ravens game Steelers nine, Raven seven.
Speaker 1: They got a field goal twenty five year older. They
Speaker 1: stalled out after a twelve play drive and kicked the
Speaker 1: twenty five yard field goals, So the Steelers lead six
Speaker 1: minutes until halftime. Bucky, go enjoy the game. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you on Sunday in the post game, and John,
Speaker 1: I'll catch up with you a little bit later, John Ozier,
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, our entire crew. I'm JP Shadrick. Thank you
