Speaker 1: week two. They'll meet in Week fourteen. Coming up Sunday.
Speaker 1: Mike Glennan gets the start at quarterback for a third
Speaker 1: straight week. A defensive challenge this week against this Titans offfense.
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry leads away. Tannehill the quarterback playing well with
Speaker 1: the weapons outside. Tony bose Elliott for thirty today joining
Speaker 1: us and the Doug Barone Show at five o'clock on
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Jeff Logman with US now logs
Speaker 1: It's part to Part one featured a big rally for
Speaker 1: the Jags the tie the game thirty thirty back in
Speaker 1: week two, but the late field goal for the Titans
Speaker 1: won that one and since then these franchises have gone
Speaker 1: in opposite directions. The Jaguars lost not only that one,
Speaker 1: but the next ten straight. The law the losing streak continues.
Speaker 1: The Titans are eight and four there in first place
Speaker 1: in the division, with hopes and dreams of a playoff
Speaker 1: run here in December. It's two different organizations right now,
Speaker 1: well certainly, and I think I think Mike Rabel and
Speaker 1: John Robinson have done a really good job in Tennessee
Speaker 1: with that football team because they have a great back
Speaker 1: and they're really leaning on the great back for them
Speaker 1: to be competitive. You know, their defense is not great,
Speaker 1: and I think the Jaguars ought to be able to
Speaker 1: score some points on them. I mean, look at what
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns were able to do last week. So
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a good match up. A
Speaker 1: lot of people around the nation and fans of football
Speaker 1: are predicting that the Tennessee Titans are gonna walk all
Speaker 1: over the Jaguars, and I just don't see it. I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a very competitive game and
Speaker 1: I think it will come down to the wire. So
Speaker 1: like it. I like that we're doing. We've We've had
Speaker 1: a few of those feelings lately, but just unable to
Speaker 1: finish them. Let's start, though, with the Derrick Henry conversation,
Speaker 1: because that's where it really begins for the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: He's the leading rusher in the NFL this year, the
Speaker 1: most carries, the most yardage, the second most rushing touchdowns,
Speaker 1: and back in Week two, the Jags did a pretty
Speaker 1: good job of bottling him up, only three point four
Speaker 1: yards per carry. That was in the early part of
Speaker 1: the season, of course, when the Jaguars are really focused
Speaker 1: on stopping the run after everything that had happened in
Speaker 1: the season before against the run for this defense, well,
Speaker 1: we all know that his three Derrick Henry has against
Speaker 1: the Jaguars organization with stiff arms and long runs and
Speaker 1: Todd wash. Today, Jaguars defensive coordinator said, that is in
Speaker 1: the practice plan this week. He's got a hell of
Speaker 1: a stiff arm, and we worked drill specifically obviously um
Speaker 1: this week when we go against Derek every every time
Speaker 1: we play him, so his stiff arm is something that
Speaker 1: we work on each week when we play him. All right,
Speaker 1: eyes to thighs, he said a little bit later in
Speaker 1: the press conference today. That's really the plan you don't
Speaker 1: want to go high on this guy because he's gonna
Speaker 1: swatch you away. Well, I mean, I don't. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say that. I think he just you have to have
Speaker 1: a tackling plan and depends on who you are jp
Speaker 1: if if you're a quarterback, then obviously you don't want
Speaker 1: to take him up high because he's a two fifty
Speaker 1: pound back and it's just very rare to see a
Speaker 1: running back in the National Football League of that side.
Speaker 1: And Todd's talking about how they have drills that are
Speaker 1: cific to the stiff arm, and and you gotta have
Speaker 1: him because he does. He's got a great stiff arm
Speaker 1: and and the and the drills for the stiff arm
Speaker 1: are are kind of two different ways in which you
Speaker 1: work on it, and that you literally lift the arm
Speaker 1: up as he's coming out with it, or you chop
Speaker 1: your arm down on it in a chopping motion to
Speaker 1: knock at all. And and that's not easy to do
Speaker 1: because he's really good. He's really long, and a lot
Speaker 1: of times when you're trying to do that, you're not
Speaker 1: even reaching him yet. And that's why his stiff arm
Speaker 1: is so good because of his length. But he's a
Speaker 1: great back. And you know, if I think the circumstances
Speaker 1: also dictate where you're gonna tackle him if you're a
Speaker 1: defensive tackle or if I'm a defensive end, I'm tackling
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. If I'm coming from the front, I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna go low. But if I'm coming from the side,
Speaker 1: I'm staying high because I'm big enough to be able
Speaker 1: to bring him down. And I'm also going for that ball.
Speaker 1: And he is great with ball security, but he's not immune.
Speaker 1: He had his fur bumble lost this past week against
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, and hopefully the Jaguars can find a
Speaker 1: way to get him to call for another one up.
Speaker 1: But the guy's a fantastic back JP and and you
Speaker 1: better be ready. I mean nine games against the Jaguars
Speaker 1: that he's played, and I would say the first five,
Speaker 1: four or five of those games that he's played he
Speaker 1: was kind of in a in a split time role
Speaker 1: at running back. So you're talking about nine games with
Speaker 1: like seven yards rushing. That's a pretty good number for
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, no doubt. And as you know, you gotta
Speaker 1: get your shots in on him early in the play. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if he gets rolling and gets outside of contain and
Speaker 1: out against those little guys and gets that head of
Speaker 1: steam going. That's when he's the freight train outside and
Speaker 1: really hard to handle. So you gotta keep him contained.
Speaker 1: So the edge to your point, the defensive line, they've
Speaker 1: gotta hold that edge this week and keep him on
Speaker 1: the interiors. That pretty accurate assessment. Well, the Titans do
Speaker 1: a great job and that first of all, every back
Speaker 1: once they get rolling, is really that much tougher. And
Speaker 1: now I think it's it's it's probably more so the
Speaker 1: case for Derrick Henry because you're talking about two hundred
Speaker 1: fifty pounds. It gets rolling and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: when you're a h nine pound defensive back and you're
Speaker 1: starting to think about, oh my goodness, how am I
Speaker 1: going to tackle the guy that's coming at me. There's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a factor there to where you
Speaker 1: you sit there and go, um, do I want to
Speaker 1: take the punishment? So defensive backs don't do very well.
Speaker 1: And the Tennessee Titans like to get him outside. He's
Speaker 1: the great back at bouncing to the outside. They attack
Speaker 1: the outside. The Tennessee Titans have excellent blocking tight ends
Speaker 1: that allow them to do that. To get outside but
Speaker 1: you're right when when he gets rolling like he did
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars a few years ago, with this ninety
Speaker 1: nine yeard run that we're looking at, I mean, it
Speaker 1: was I mean, I hate to say this because it
Speaker 1: was against the Jaguars, but I mean it was one
Speaker 1: of the greatest runs in NFL history, and because of
Speaker 1: the individual effort of of Derrick Henry JP and I
Speaker 1: don't want to say it was a thing of beauty,
Speaker 1: but I mean it's right up there with the Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lynch run. That was just amazing. No doubt he's He's
Speaker 1: got a few of them on his resume, the big
Speaker 1: long touchdown runs. And let's hope that the Jaguars can
Speaker 1: contain him a bit now. Of course, when the Titans
Speaker 1: get rolling, they have the run game going, but then
Speaker 1: they play off the run game as well through the air.
Speaker 1: And Ryan Tannehill has put together a really solid season
Speaker 1: at quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. Last week three touchdowns
Speaker 1: when they tried to rally back. A couple of those
Speaker 1: were late in the game, but twenty six touchdowns for
Speaker 1: the season, five interceptions. He's been over a hundred rating
Speaker 1: in eight games this year. Log so they have the
Speaker 1: weapons outside. When jon O Smith the tight end is healthy,
Speaker 1: he's among the best in the league, and they can
Speaker 1: do some damage when they are balanced out on offense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they have their playmakers that all the positions and
Speaker 1: first and foremost give Bryan Tannehill credit. I mean, here
Speaker 1: was a guy that was considered a throwaway quarterback by
Speaker 1: the Miami to off fens and and he kind of
Speaker 1: gets reborn in Tennessee. And it helps to be reborn
Speaker 1: when you've got a running back like Derrick Henry, So
Speaker 1: that doesn't hurt. But the fact of the matter is
Speaker 1: is that Ryan Tannehill on his own court, is still
Speaker 1: a very good pastor and he's he's a sixth rated
Speaker 1: pass from the National Football League this year. When you
Speaker 1: look at his numbers against the Jaguars historically, he completes
Speaker 1: almost seventy of his passes. Uh. He's an outstanding quarterback
Speaker 1: that does a great job at distributing the ball. And
Speaker 1: he has a little bit of an X factor too,
Speaker 1: that he has mobility, and that's something that a lot
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks don't have, but he has. And everybody talks
Speaker 1: about him being a former wide receiver and that's great
Speaker 1: and fine and dandy, and it does show that he's
Speaker 1: got some mobility, but he also has the it's not
Speaker 1: like he is willy nilly when he decides to run.
Speaker 1: I mean he it's a it's a planned thing where
Speaker 1: he sees coverage that gives him an opportunity to find
Speaker 1: something down the field. So he's a smart quarterback, you know.
Speaker 1: And he gives his team the ability to come back.
Speaker 1: In some ball games, they scored a lot of points
Speaker 1: and nearly came back. I can made the game somewhat
Speaker 1: competitive against the Cleveland Browns. I watched the game last night,
Speaker 1: and they got it close. It wasn't like it was
Speaker 1: in the all of a sudden they were gonna score
Speaker 1: and win. But but he closed the gap. So he's
Speaker 1: capable and the weapons that he has are are really good.
Speaker 1: You're talking about Corey Davis is coming off a career
Speaker 1: best game this past week. Now. A J. Brown, who
Speaker 1: we think as a marvelous player, and he's big, and
Speaker 1: he's fast and can run the go route. He had
Speaker 1: two fumbles his past game and he's had some drops
Speaker 1: and that's been a big issue with him. And he's
Speaker 1: a he's a great vertical threat, I mean a great
Speaker 1: vertical threat. And they talked about a big dude. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know that the guy in Seattle, his teammate from college,
Speaker 1: is a lot bigger and more freakishly big. But a J.
Speaker 1: Brown as big in his own right now, Uh, he's
Speaker 1: a big cat. Now. The Titans lost Adam Humphreys, who
Speaker 1: was kind of their third guy, kind of a possession
Speaker 1: type of receiver. So that's gonna hurt a little bit.
Speaker 1: But they've got some other guys that are gonna be
Speaker 1: able to step up. But the two big big dogs
Speaker 1: or a J. Brown, John hu Smith or a J.
Speaker 1: Brown and Corey Davison. And when you had a John
Speaker 1: hu Smith and there, if he's healthy, that's a dangerous
Speaker 1: combination when you have all that behind or win the
Speaker 1: passing game with Derrick Henry in the running game. We're
Speaker 1: anxiously awaiting the injury report today. John hu Smith was
Speaker 1: limited yesterday with a knee issue, and Todd Wash said
Speaker 1: today he was really looking at that just to see,
Speaker 1: but has not come out officially yet. We'll keep you
Speaker 1: posted if it pops up here in the next hour
Speaker 1: or so. On Jaguar's Happy Hour, I bought the Jags
Speaker 1: defense logs last week. It felt like they played a
Speaker 1: really solid game. I know, the big three in Minnesota
Speaker 1: got their numbers at the end of the day. Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook took thirty two carries to get to his total
Speaker 1: last week. And you had some some solid play on
Speaker 1: the defensive line from guys that in reality are probably
Speaker 1: rotational type players. But Dwan Smooth his best game in
Speaker 1: a long time, a couple of sacks, and you know,
Speaker 1: considering the personnel that's on the field on defense right now,
Speaker 1: I thought they played a pretty good game last week.
Speaker 1: Now the challenge, of course this week against Tennessee, sure,
Speaker 1: it's a bigger challenge in Minnesota's doesn't have a strong
Speaker 1: offensive line, so you expected the Jaguars defensive line to
Speaker 1: play a little bit better, and they did. But I
Speaker 1: think they found some stability. And when I say stability,
Speaker 1: I'm talking stability for the Jaguars, and that Daniel equally
Speaker 1: and cost In in the middle at the defensive tackle spots,
Speaker 1: and then as the defensive vents Adam got. That's playing
Speaker 1: the strong side and then Smooth playing kind of the
Speaker 1: open side or what we call the eagle nd. And
Speaker 1: I think it's a good combination. I think it gives
Speaker 1: you your best chance to win. And are these rotational
Speaker 1: type guys as far as on any other roster they backup.
Speaker 1: So I mean, you could make the argument that most
Speaker 1: teams would probably replace two of those guys. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that any particular too that it is. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying take your pick out of the two, because
Speaker 1: you'd like to upgrade somewhere and have a don and
Speaker 1: a player. But I think they're solid. They do their job,
Speaker 1: they don't get out of their gap, and and that
Speaker 1: gives you a chance. And I think it reflects also
Speaker 1: in the linebacker play. If you look at the performance
Speaker 1: of Joe Schobert, Miles Jack last week, which is pretty
Speaker 1: dog gone good, and especially Joe Schoberg, it was doing
Speaker 1: large part to the performance of the defensive line. They
Speaker 1: had a really good outing. I thought, can they build
Speaker 1: on that this week against Tennessee Titans. Offensive line we'll see,
Speaker 1: But the Tennessee Titans, this is not the same offensive
Speaker 1: line that we've been talking about for the last couple
Speaker 1: of years, going, oh my goodness, they're so good and
Speaker 1: Taylor Lawan is the best left tackle. Will tell Lawan
Speaker 1: is out with a significant knee injury, and quiz Quizinberry
Speaker 1: is playing left tackle, a kind of a journeyman player
Speaker 1: that overcame cancer. And they've got some other players in
Speaker 1: there that are that are good, but they're not the
Speaker 1: kind of offensive line that strikes fear in anybody's eyes.
Speaker 1: A lot of changes up front there in Tennessee, for sure,
Speaker 1: and we'll see if the Jaguars defense can take advantage
Speaker 1: this week and get something done up front against this
Speaker 1: Titans offense. We've got plenty more ahead on Jaguars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: including Mike glennon getting a third start and what's up
Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew. We'll hear about that coming up for thirty.
Speaker 1: Tony Vaselli joining us on the program. We'll go around
Speaker 1: the National Football League a little later as well the
Speaker 1: Doug Moron Show. At five o'clock. We're off and running.

Speaker 1: by t I A, a bank created to serve, built
Speaker 1: to perform public where shopping is a pleasure and Baptist health,
Speaker 1: changing healthcare for good. That's hard. You know, I had
Speaker 1: three in five games last year in Washington. I had
Speaker 1: three or four of the year before that in Washington.
Speaker 1: So I've had about ten quarterbacks I've dealt with in
Speaker 1: a small amount of time. And the consistency of that
Speaker 1: position is uh really important. It's uh critical to have success.
Speaker 1: Uh you have to have consistency of that position. Talking
Speaker 1: to one guy speaking the same language, cater into their strengths,
Speaker 1: and when we're changing weekend and week out, Uh, it's
Speaker 1: hard to get a gauge on what they like, what
Speaker 1: they're comfortable with. UM, so that's the most difficult thing.
Speaker 1: So you know, I think we're we're dealing with three
Speaker 1: great kids, UH, guys that want to be great. They
Speaker 1: work extremely hard. But as a play caller, get to
Speaker 1: know what they like and them getting to know me
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's the biggest challenge that we have.
Speaker 1: And and now us will be the third week with Mike. Hopefully,
Speaker 1: Uh I'm starting getting his head a little bit and
Speaker 1: he understands, uh where we're going and what I what
Speaker 1: I think he likes, So it will hopefully be beneficial.
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator yesterday discussing the quarterback position and welcome back
Speaker 1: to Jaguars Happy Hour j P. Shadrick with Jeff Loghuman
Speaker 1: Tony Boselli coming up in about twelve minutes at four
Speaker 1: or thirty the Doug Brones Show at five o'clock. And yeah,
Speaker 1: he said it there, Consistency is keith the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: You can't just keep changing starting quarterbacks every week just
Speaker 1: because and expect results. You know, having a consistent starter
Speaker 1: week to week helps with the communication, the play calling
Speaker 1: and all of the above. As he said there, that's
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks in the last three years for him,
Speaker 1: by the way logs. Yeah, a little bit of a
Speaker 1: Quartermack quarterback nightmare for Jay Gruten, no doubt. And I
Speaker 1: also enjoyed listening to his comments today when he talked
Speaker 1: about Alex Smith and and how he just thought he
Speaker 1: isn't such an amazing person and what a great comeback
Speaker 1: that he's had this year for the Washington football team,
Speaker 1: because what Alex Smith went through was obviously when Jay
Speaker 1: Gruden was their head coach. So I know that he's
Speaker 1: got a uh, certainly he's a rooting interest with Alex
Speaker 1: Smith and the Washington football team there. I mean, even
Speaker 1: though he lost his job from from the team, but
Speaker 1: you can really tell that he's got an affinity for
Speaker 1: for Alex and and how how and I think he
Speaker 1: said at what at one point today said, you know,
Speaker 1: because I couldn't have come back from what Alex did,
Speaker 1: which says a lot and uh but pretty cool. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he he's had a lot of quarterbacks and
Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. And and could you
Speaker 1: change quarterbacks every week? JP? You actually could. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna give you much a chance
Speaker 1: to win any football game, but you could change him
Speaker 1: every week just because you can do it. But this
Speaker 1: week it's gonna be Mike Lennon again. And uh, I
Speaker 1: find it interesting that that Gardner Minshew comes out and
Speaker 1: talks about how he was begging to come, you know,
Speaker 1: to be back in the lineup and play and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But yet when you hear the
Speaker 1: coaches talk, especially Jay Gruden, he pretty much said that
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew have from talking to whoever, he has not
Speaker 1: thrown the ball as much as he needs to to
Speaker 1: show that he is ready to be back. So I'm
Speaker 1: not quite understanding how you can say that you're begging
Speaker 1: to be playing again, but at the same token, you're
Speaker 1: not taking the reps required to play. So I'm a
Speaker 1: little confused with that. But anyway, I'm glad to see
Speaker 1: that Mike Lennon is going to get another opportunity. And
Speaker 1: for the same reason that when Jake Luton faced the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, I wanted to see him play the next
Speaker 1: week because I wanted to see how he would bounce back.
Speaker 1: I want to see how Mike Lennon bounces back against
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings team that he didn't have a great performance.
Speaker 1: He had two interceptions and he also had the fumble.
Speaker 1: And when you commit three turnovers yourself and then you
Speaker 1: put the Connley one in there, you don't have much
Speaker 1: of a chance to win. Because the reality is is
Speaker 1: that this football team has been in many games, and
Speaker 1: it's been in the games to where their turnover differential
Speaker 1: has been favorable, and when it's not been favorable, they
Speaker 1: haven't been in games. And well, in fact, they bill
Speaker 1: in the past game against the Minnesota Vikings, but the
Speaker 1: outcome certainly hasn't been favorable. You know. The The amazing
Speaker 1: thing to JP the Jaguars every game this year, They've
Speaker 1: only had one where they've been plus two and turnover differential,
Speaker 1: and that was the very first one against Colet. About that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Philip rivers through the couple in that game in week one.
Speaker 1: It seems like an eternity ago because it was you mentioned,
Speaker 1: is it just are you Are you feeling this vibe
Speaker 1: from Gardner Minshire and it's it's kind of weird, right,
Speaker 1: I mean to where well, he's saying he's you know,
Speaker 1: he's begging to play, but then he's not taking the rest.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't get that. Well, let's hear from
Speaker 1: Doug Moron on it first, and the head coach this
Speaker 1: week was asked about that and gardnerment Show's comments that
Speaker 1: he was begging to get back in and all the above,
Speaker 1: and Doug Marone here's what he had to say. Let's
Speaker 1: just put it that way. I think you get a
Speaker 1: little bit worried if it's the other way. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, where someone doesn't want to get out there, Uh,
Speaker 1: he's not a competitor. He's comfortable in his role of
Speaker 1: maybe not playing. So um, you know, you can have
Speaker 1: all these emotions as a player and sometimes on the
Speaker 1: outside you'll look at it and say, oh, man, he
Speaker 1: must be really upset that he's not doing this or
Speaker 1: that or you know, but you know, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, that's not how they are around their
Speaker 1: teammates and how they practice and they're still working to
Speaker 1: get better and do it. So um, and there's some
Speaker 1: guys that you would know that you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can get a sense to that. But
Speaker 1: we don't have that issue at all. So you know,
Speaker 1: we're all trying to communicate, we're all trying to work
Speaker 1: through things. Um, you know, journeys tough times. So we're
Speaker 1: just gonna keep working on these guys and keeping keep
Speaker 1: getting better. So let's Doug Maron's take on it. Lugs.
Speaker 1: And you know, there's only so many reps to go
Speaker 1: around on the practice field during the regular season and
Speaker 1: an actual practice action, right, I mean, you're on the
Speaker 1: scout team and the starter is getting the reps. That's
Speaker 1: kind of how that works. So you know, yeah, you
Speaker 1: maybe you want to be out there, but this is
Speaker 1: this is the NFL, this is real life. You don't
Speaker 1: always get what you want because the other guys starting
Speaker 1: and that's how I was working right now. No, I
Speaker 1: hear you, but I mean I just kinda I kind
Speaker 1: of got the feeling from listening to Jay Gruden's comments
Speaker 1: that um that it was Gardner, that Gardner didn't want
Speaker 1: to take the reps or didn't want to make as
Speaker 1: many throws. I mean, I mean, maybe I'm I'm misunderstanding that,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I just I just think that's
Speaker 1: kind of odd that the player is gonna say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm begging to play, but but yet the way that
Speaker 1: he's talking is that the reps that he was offered
Speaker 1: he didn't want to take. At least that's the impression
Speaker 1: I'm getting JP. And maybe I'm reading it wrong. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's kind of odd to me. I
Speaker 1: I just think, and this is this is me thinking
Speaker 1: out loud, but I think we're talking about a lot
Speaker 1: of nothing because Mike Glennon is the starting quarterback and
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be the starter until the
Speaker 1: wheels fall off of this thing. And that's my thought
Speaker 1: about it. So we're talking about the back up. Totally
Speaker 1: get what you're saying, and the reality is that he's
Speaker 1: going to be the starter as long as he plays okay,
Speaker 1: But in the bigger picture of that, even but he
Speaker 1: didn't play okay, it doesn't matter. He pays, it doesn't matter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the future, the future at quarterback is somewhere else. And
Speaker 1: you can say it's in the draft, you can say
Speaker 1: that it's in free agency wherever it may be. But
Speaker 1: the future of the quarterback room for the Jacksonville Jaguars
Speaker 1: is not anywhere even remotely close to where it is
Speaker 1: right now. It's going to be vastly different in the future.
Speaker 1: And this football team needs to find a quarterback talent
Speaker 1: that it can win with and and and be consistent with.
Speaker 1: And that's you know, you look back at the history
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars organization and to look at the number
Speaker 1: of swings that you've taken at the quarterback position. There's
Speaker 1: not a lot. I mean, you've taken some swings in
Speaker 1: sixth round, in fourth round and and such. But this team,
Speaker 1: besides Mark Brunel, has not had a franchise type guy.
Speaker 1: And you've drafted three in the first round and you
Speaker 1: didn't hit on any of the three, which is surprising
Speaker 1: because given twenty six years, if you've tried it three
Speaker 1: times and you're not doing you're not hitting it. You
Speaker 1: would think that there would be a lot more than
Speaker 1: three because if you're gonna have a chance to win,
Speaker 1: and we've kind of talked about this, gosh so many
Speaker 1: different times. It kind of gets to be repetitive and
Speaker 1: my numbing, but the reality is you have to keep trying,
Speaker 1: and it's not to where you can't win without a quarterback,
Speaker 1: but it gives you the best chance to win year
Speaker 1: in the year out consistently if you can find the guy.
Speaker 1: And this franchise has passed up the opportunity recently under
Speaker 1: general manager Dave Caldwell, when you could have acknowledged that
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles was not the guy and could have taken
Speaker 1: a swing at one of these other guys that we're
Speaker 1: seeing on a regular basis now, either DeShawn Watson or
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or I mean whoever. I mean, you just
Speaker 1: it was just shortsighted, I thought, in the recent history
Speaker 1: of this franchise too, to not admit that we don't
Speaker 1: you don't have the guy, and then to continue to
Speaker 1: try to find a guy. Well, we're If you you
Speaker 1: think we're talking a lot about it, now, just wait
Speaker 1: until February at March at a wire leading into the draft,
Speaker 1: because that's all the conversation will be with the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: Jaguars now. Matter who the quarterback is next year, it's
Speaker 1: a pretty good feeling that the running back behind him
Speaker 1: will be James Robinson. He's Fenn had a fantastic season,
Speaker 1: of course, and just continues to build and build and
Speaker 1: hopefully he gets some of that Pro Bowl momentum. It'll
Speaker 1: be tough and undrafted rookie on a one and eleven
Speaker 1: football team, but his four point six yard per carry
Speaker 1: average is considering that he doesn't have long breakaway runs,
Speaker 1: he doesn't lose yardage much either, so he is as
Speaker 1: consistent as can be, and he is he is the
Speaker 1: future of the running back position here. Well, he's part
Speaker 1: of it. You know when I say he's part of it, Look,
Speaker 1: James Robinson is amazing. I mean, thirty two yards away
Speaker 1: from from hitting a thousand yards and he's on pace
Speaker 1: to do or to have the best season by an
Speaker 1: undrafted rookies, surpassing Philip Lindsay and and others. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's an amazing job. And with two d and fifty
Speaker 1: five yards, he's gonna tie Fred Taylor for the Jaguars
Speaker 1: rookie rushing record. I mean, those are all incredible things,
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna surpass Fred Taylor's record and
Speaker 1: in the future. JP though this year he has carried
Speaker 1: the load by himself and you really haven't had any
Speaker 1: debt And that's kind of been an issue recently with
Speaker 1: the Jaguars running back position period. I mean, when Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournette was the guy, you didn't have any depth behind
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette. It was almost as if the position kind
Speaker 1: of got ignored or neglected. And James Robinson is the
Speaker 1: guy this year, But what do you have behind somebody
Speaker 1: that can share the load? I do know this, when
Speaker 1: James Robinson leaves the field, where he leaves the Jaguars
Speaker 1: offensive huddle, there is a significant significant drop in the
Speaker 1: performance of other running backs when James is not in there,
Speaker 1: and that's not what you want. I mean, look, you
Speaker 1: can't have what the Cleveland Browns have. Not every team
Speaker 1: can have that, And I'm not saying that you have
Speaker 1: to have that, but you need to have somebody that
Speaker 1: you feel good about coming in and not somebody that
Speaker 1: every time that somebody is in you're sitting there going
Speaker 1: put James Robinson back in because he's so much better.
Speaker 1: And you've got to have a guy that you can
Speaker 1: you feel good about spelling your main guy or spelling
Speaker 1: James Robinson in this case. So in the in the future,
Speaker 1: you gotta find you gotta find depth, and you gotta
Speaker 1: have more than one guy. And if you don't have
Speaker 1: more than one guy at the running back position when
Speaker 1: you're when you don't have that guy, and then you're
Speaker 1: gonna get exposed. And right now that Jaguars have one
Speaker 1: guy from what we've seen, and I think that if
Speaker 1: they had some other people that were that were really good,
Speaker 1: then I think that they would certainly be getting more
Speaker 1: reps and what we have seen from them would be better.
Speaker 1: All right, let's come back. Tony Boselli is standing by
Speaker 1: a hill. Join us. We need to talk about the
Speaker 1: receivers as well. Colin Johnson surging, and how do we

Speaker 1: coach and evaluating Lineman, it's to me it's a little
Speaker 1: bit easier to project, you know, how someone's going to
Speaker 1: be at a you know, in the run game, you
Speaker 1: know from what I'm seeing on tape and what I'm
Speaker 1: seeing on film, you know, than in pass pro. Because
Speaker 1: sometimes some guys are just athletically gifted better than than
Speaker 1: everyone else. Um, and then some guys, you know where
Speaker 1: they get away with things technically, and in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you're gonna face someone that's better than us sometime and
Speaker 1: technically you're going to be in trouble. So but I
Speaker 1: have seen improvement problem John, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he did a much better job
Speaker 1: in protection last week, and I think, you know, so
Speaker 1: he's trended in the right direction. So you know, I'm
Speaker 1: happy with him that goes Doug Marone discussing Big Bart's
Speaker 1: the rookie guard out of St. John's in Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Jaguars, Happy Our j P Shadrick, Jeff Logman,
Speaker 1: and Pride of the Jaguars Left tackle Tony Vasselli joins
Speaker 1: us on the program. Good afternoon, Tony. What's up? What's up? Fellas?
Speaker 1: Did I just hear Doug called ben Bart's John? He
Speaker 1: said John? That was that was John? Shipley asked the question, right, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you could actually call you can actually call ben
Speaker 1: Bart's Johnny if you wanted to, because that's the nickname
Speaker 1: of the mascot at the small school that he played
Speaker 1: at Boat. That's right. I know that. I knew that.
Speaker 1: That's where I thought maybe he was his nickname or
Speaker 1: something like that. That's why I was confused. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was interesting. I mean his thoughts on Ben Barts. I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: and I know Logs and not you. You don't have
Speaker 1: talked about it. I mean he has real I don't know,
Speaker 1: I guess issues struggles in the past game right now.
Speaker 1: I mean as far as past walking, Um, definitely more
Speaker 1: comfortable run walking. He's a physical guy. Um, he tried
Speaker 1: he gets after. I like his tenacity, I like his
Speaker 1: you know, desire, but boy, he's a liability one on
Speaker 1: one right now. You know, when he's in the game,
Speaker 1: I'm watching him, I'm like, man, I'm hoping they're sliding
Speaker 1: left because um, a decent pass rusher gives in problems
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, Tony, I think you're dead on. And uh,
Speaker 1: I think you could probably say that he got better
Speaker 1: this pass game because it was the Minnesota Vikings and
Speaker 1: they don't have any great pass rushers number one but
Speaker 1: also number two for the most part of the game.
Speaker 1: Once he had to play a lot. Let's when Leonard
Speaker 1: went out and Shatley moved the center. Then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, ben Barts didn't have a lot of one
Speaker 1: on ones to where he had to block a guy
Speaker 1: in a in a pass rush situation and he was
Speaker 1: on an island with no help. He was only blocking
Speaker 1: partial guys and so when he struggled is when he's
Speaker 1: had to block a guy one on one. And and
Speaker 1: for me, the praise should all be about Tyler Shatley
Speaker 1: this week. And Tony, I know you watched the film.
Speaker 1: Here's a guy that first of all was having one
Speaker 1: of his best games at the Garden again against the Viking,
Speaker 1: but then when Lennard goes out and he switches over
Speaker 1: the center, he still performs at an incredibly high level.
Speaker 1: Tyler Shatley is a good football player. Somebody's gonna recognize it.
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna sign him to be at their starting center
Speaker 1: next year, because if I'm correct, he is on a
Speaker 1: one year deal. I thought he did outstanding and the
Speaker 1: Jaguars are very fortunate to have him because Brandon Lender
Speaker 1: has shown in the past that he has had some
Speaker 1: issues staying completely healthy. Jeff, is it just me or
Speaker 1: is this like by far Shatley's best year, like by far?
Speaker 1: Because I like he's like he always felt good with
Speaker 1: him at center, like not great, but good, But when
Speaker 1: he had to play guard in the past, you were
Speaker 1: like his length sometimes got him in trouble with you know,
Speaker 1: especially in the in the past game, Like he's playing
Speaker 1: the high level football right now. I've been wildly impressed,
Speaker 1: Like to the point someone was asking me about Shatley
Speaker 1: and with Lynda getting hurt and everything else, and I've said,
Speaker 1: I'll be honestly, watching the film, it's not like there's
Speaker 1: much of a drop off when Shatley plays. Um, he
Speaker 1: I've been really impressed with him, Jeff, and I agree
Speaker 1: with you. Somebody's gonna somebody's gonna ask him to come
Speaker 1: be a startup center because he's had a good year.
Speaker 1: And good for him because he's one of the best
Speaker 1: guys on the team too. If you've ever been around him,
Speaker 1: I know you have, Jeff, but anyone who's ever been
Speaker 1: around Tyler Shatley is just a good dude. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you have it. Hey. By the way, the injury report
Speaker 1: has just come out. We promised that when it came
Speaker 1: out we would pass along some of the info. John
Speaker 1: new Smith, the tight end for the Titans for the
Speaker 1: knee issue, limited yesterday but full practice today, so that
Speaker 1: is trending in the right direction for him. And of
Speaker 1: course johnni Smith had two touchdowns against the Jaguars back
Speaker 1: in Week two. A couple of notes also, A J.
Speaker 1: Brown is not practiced this week for the Titans with
Speaker 1: an ankle issue, and that's Wednesday and Thursday for the Jaguar.
Speaker 1: Is a bunch of guys limited. Brandon Lender has not
Speaker 1: practiced this week with an ankle he missed came out
Speaker 1: of last week's game. So those are the latest on
Speaker 1: the injury report. Let's touch on receivers here for the Jags.
Speaker 1: We promised that earlier as well. You know, Colin Johnson's
Speaker 1: surging in a positive way the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Is his play has really improved. DJ Chark had seven
Speaker 1: targets last week, only a couple of catches. Two guys
Speaker 1: that not going on the opposite directions. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say it that bluntly, but how do you get
Speaker 1: chart back on track and how do you keep riding
Speaker 1: the way for Colin Johnson? A great question, JP, And
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody keeps saying that DJ is the
Speaker 1: number one receiver and we got to get him the
Speaker 1: ball and we gotta get them more targets. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're you're you're getting them a lot of targets. I
Speaker 1: think the opportunity is going to play the quarterback has
Speaker 1: got to be better. And so until that kind of
Speaker 1: gets a lot better than that's gonna be what it is.
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes that that conversation needs to just
Speaker 1: be hey, look, we just need to find the open guys.
Speaker 1: And and DJ is a great, big part of our
Speaker 1: offense and we feel like he's one of our best guys.
Speaker 1: But but you know, when you continually say that we
Speaker 1: gotta get on the ball, we gotta get on the ball,
Speaker 1: I think that sometimes can put undue pressure sometimes on
Speaker 1: a quarterback or an offense to where sometimes it's you
Speaker 1: got to find the open guy. If if if that's
Speaker 1: Colin Johnson, it's Colin Johnson, if it's Keeling Cole, it's
Speaker 1: Keeling Cole, if it's you know, whoever is whoever? And
Speaker 1: so uh. I like DJ Tchark obviously, and I think
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player. And I also really
Speaker 1: like Colin Johnson. I think he's gonna be a marvelous
Speaker 1: player in the future just with his size, and he
Speaker 1: gets great separation, and I think that's one of his
Speaker 1: talents that he's does get great separation. But JP, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think. I don't see that there's a
Speaker 1: fix for fixing seven targets and two catches us for
Speaker 1: d J Chark like what he had this past week. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll go a little bit further on that log because,
Speaker 1: like I'm with you, I think DJ Chark's a fabulous player.
Speaker 1: I mean a guy, by the way, who you probably
Speaker 1: want to try to sign before he gets to a
Speaker 1: trade of year next year. I mean that's a he's
Speaker 1: a building walk. But when I think about forcing the
Speaker 1: ball to anyone, which I think is problematic in any offense,
Speaker 1: I don't care, especially when you're talking about playing your
Speaker 1: third quarterback of the year. Um, that becomes real issues
Speaker 1: that developed. And if you're getting like four like you think,
Speaker 1: I think about that, it's like one a'ce like there's
Speaker 1: and there's a handful of those guys in the entire
Speaker 1: league that like this guy can go win all the time.
Speaker 1: He's a like just he's one of the best players
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Think back, um like Antonio Brown when
Speaker 1: he's with the Steelers and they used to force the
Speaker 1: ball to him because he was dynamic and he got going.
Speaker 1: He was just a nightmare. Um. I douse dj K.
Speaker 1: He's definitely the number one receiver on this team. But
Speaker 1: it's not like he's like to start and I think
Speaker 1: what you have to do, And I think where DJs
Speaker 1: at his best when it's in the normal flow of
Speaker 1: the offense, because he can win one on one and
Speaker 1: he can create serious matchups and he is good deep
Speaker 1: and he's across them. I mean, he's a really good receiver,
Speaker 1: but I think you do the offensive disservice when you're saying, well,
Speaker 1: we gotta get him involved and we gotta get him
Speaker 1: the ball. Um. And again, especially when you're talking about
Speaker 1: down the line quarterbacks, your third quarterback, because just you
Speaker 1: start putting under pressure and you start trying to force things,
Speaker 1: and I think you get out of a rhythm. I
Speaker 1: ain't the best offenses and where you really see good flow,
Speaker 1: uh and offenses in a rhythm is when guys are
Speaker 1: just within the confines of the play winning and the
Speaker 1: quarterbacks making the right read. And I promise you they're
Speaker 1: calling plays where DJ Charki is the first read and
Speaker 1: so just getting to the confines of the offense, run
Speaker 1: to play, go win and then you know, take advantage
Speaker 1: of the opportunities, which I know DJ will. So I'm
Speaker 1: with Logs. I think I don't think there's like some
Speaker 1: magic like levery you poll and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden DJ is gonna catch seven balls a game. Um.
Speaker 1: I think it's just you know, better performance, better execution
Speaker 1: by everybody, And I think it starts with the quarterback
Speaker 1: A lot of times, Alright, guys, Let's come back. One
Speaker 1: final segment ahead will take a look one final look
Speaker 1: at the Titans Jaguars matchup coming up in week fourteen.

Speaker 1: line is not quite the offensive line that we have
Speaker 1: grown accustomed to over the years in Nashville. They have
Speaker 1: not all kinds of injuries a lot. You know, they
Speaker 1: lost Conquin in free agency, so that that's not injury,
Speaker 1: but they lost him. They drafted the guy, Isaiah Wilson

Speaker 1: hasn't been if he hasn't done anything he had I
Speaker 1: think a d U I. He's had multiple COVID issues,

Speaker 1: on the list, had some suspension last week that is,
Speaker 1: you know, we're breaking some rule and now he's put
Speaker 1: on the non football injury UH illness list. So do
Speaker 1: you lose that? So you now you're playing a backup
Speaker 1: in Kelly, You're right tackle position. I got a second
Speaker 1: year player who was okay last year at right guard. Um,
Speaker 1: the center is decent, Um Saffole I think is a
Speaker 1: good player, and then you lose your your you know,
Speaker 1: all pro or at least Pro Bowl caliber left tackle.
Speaker 1: So they've got all kinds of injuries and because of it,
Speaker 1: they're not the same group. Yet they still average over
Speaker 1: points a game offensively. So, um the offense is line
Speaker 1: is not living up to what it was last year
Speaker 1: and in the past where they were pretty physically dominating,
Speaker 1: still doing enough to score a bunch of points every week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the uh Isaiah Roilson is now on the reserve non
Speaker 1: football illness list, so yeah, he hasn't done some good
Speaker 1: things on that list. Yeah, not the list you want
Speaker 1: to be on there. And so the Jags defense has
Speaker 1: a task ahead of them this week against this starry
Speaker 1: interrupted But here's an amazing logs j P all the injuries,
Speaker 1: all that you talked about. I just said to score
Speaker 1: I think the third in the NFL in scoring offense,
Speaker 1: and they have one of the top rushers in the
Speaker 1: NFL and Derrick Henry with a like mash unit in
Speaker 1: front of them. I got tys Ombrella playing left tackle,
Speaker 1: who was a former second round pick for the Broncos,
Speaker 1: who got cut and bounced around and ended up there
Speaker 1: and was really, what, if you think about it, he's
Speaker 1: really their fourth tackle going into camp because Dennis Kelly
Speaker 1: is is the swing guy. If Isaiah Wilson the first rounder,
Speaker 1: that's what they expected to be the starter. And so
Speaker 1: I give him credit. You know, give Arthur Smith and
Speaker 1: in that offensive staff a bunch of credit because they're
Speaker 1: still functioning pretty well in both the past in the
Speaker 1: run with a group that you know they were they
Speaker 1: did not imagine this would be the five guys they'd
Speaker 1: be playing with. Well, Sambrello, Tony ended up on injured reserve,
Speaker 1: and tackle last week was Quasenberry, who was former Texan
Speaker 1: and also spent time with Tennessee SO and and he's
Speaker 1: a he's a answer survivor. That was his first start.
Speaker 1: I believe that I forgot all about that Logs that
Speaker 1: was there was this second second start, non Hodgkins win Foma.
Speaker 1: That's right, great story, but I'm not sure what that's
Speaker 1: what they planned at the beginning of the year. No
Speaker 1: and and trying to block Myles Garrett is not an
Speaker 1: easy task, he struggled to say the least. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: you put you put, you put an all pro out there,
Speaker 1: you know, or probo cob or trust me, it's been
Speaker 1: a great matchup. Um, you know if they had their
Speaker 1: front line. But it's still not I don't care who
Speaker 1: you are this league, walk of Miles Garrett. Um, it's
Speaker 1: not easy and uh you know he uh one of
Speaker 1: the better players in the NFL. Alright, guys, So four
Speaker 1: games to go, it's an eleven game losing skid now
Speaker 1: and a few of the last stretch here have been
Speaker 1: relatively close. The Jacksons haven't been able to finish and
Speaker 1: get that elusive W. So you know what's left this year?
Speaker 1: You can wreck some other team's playoff chances, Tony, if
Speaker 1: you can go get a W or two down the
Speaker 1: stretch here and rally the troops, that's what's left. You
Speaker 1: just want to Yeah, it's all to left and we
Speaker 1: just want to win. I mean, as a player, you're
Speaker 1: working hard. You're working all week is coaching deff, You're
Speaker 1: spending you're burning the midnight you know, you know, the
Speaker 1: midnight hours of trying to get ready and prepare your guys,
Speaker 1: and so everyone's working harder. When you lose, there's no payoff,
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I'm not sure you think about, hey,
Speaker 1: let's ruin someone's playoff chances. It's a nice storyline. You
Speaker 1: just want to win. Like losing stinks, It is awful,
Speaker 1: like in all the hard work, you don't get that payoff.
Speaker 1: In my concern, and we said it last week and
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. I'm worried about like the damned burst
Speaker 1: where you see like just the injuries and the young
Speaker 1: players and the wear and tear of this team and
Speaker 1: not having a ton of talent or difference makers as well.
Speaker 1: When does that catch up? Because it hasn't yet. And
Speaker 1: the reason it has is because these guys play so hard.
Speaker 1: You gotta give Doug and the staff credit, the players
Speaker 1: credit because they do play hard every week. And when
Speaker 1: you play hard in the NFL, you're gonna stay in games.
Speaker 1: But boy, Jeff, you and I talked about it in
Speaker 1: the pregame. When's the damn break and you have one
Speaker 1: of those weeks where just everything adds up and it
Speaker 1: just goes the wrong way. Yeah, and right now it
Speaker 1: hasn't broke, So that's amazing. I mean, I think the
Speaker 1: players deserve a lot of credit. Like you said, the
Speaker 1: coaches deserve credit because they're coming out and they're fighting
Speaker 1: their butts all and it's easy to not and so
Speaker 1: the look, if this team comes out and fights like
Speaker 1: crazy against Tennessee, kudos to them, and I hope that
Speaker 1: they get a win, because you know what the reality
Speaker 1: is is that even though its short lived as far
Speaker 1: as the enjoyment of winning in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: at least you get some enjoyment in the year that's
Speaker 1: just been absolutely painful. When I say painful from the
Speaker 1: standpoint of there's been so many challenges this year with
Speaker 1: OVID and the way things have been going as far
Speaker 1: as the way you got to conduct your business. You
Speaker 1: almost feel like that this team should deserves to have
Speaker 1: some positive feeling because they've worked hard and they fought hard.
Speaker 1: It seems like almost every game, I mean, the only
Speaker 1: game that hasn't been competitive for the most part, has
Speaker 1: been the Pittsburgh Steelers game. But you go back and
Speaker 1: you look at the past number of five, six, seven
Speaker 1: games this team has been in it, and they've had
Speaker 1: opportunities to darn there win every game. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think the guys and I don't know if it's gonna
Speaker 1: be this week, um, but I really believe this team
Speaker 1: is gonna win again this year if they keep on
Speaker 1: playing as hard as they do. It's just how, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, the NFL works. If you play hard and
Speaker 1: you compete every week, you're going the ball is gonna
Speaker 1: pounce your way sooner or later. And um, hopefully it's
Speaker 1: this week. But I really do think and I'll just
Speaker 1: echo what Jeff said, kudos the guys to do the coaches,
Speaker 1: and I just hope they continue to find, hopefully enough
Speaker 1: guys to continue they don't keep on having these injuries. Um,
Speaker 1: but guys keep on showing up the way they are
Speaker 1: because they will win a game. They keep doing this
Speaker 1: weekend and week out. Yeah, this is uh. I think
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have had the most players to play a
Speaker 1: snap in a game in the NFL this year. I
Speaker 1: think seventy seven different players have played this year. I
Speaker 1: mean it's the most in the league. And that tells
Speaker 1: you what this team has gone through, the turnover, the
Speaker 1: attrition and everything. So I mean you're literally signing guys
Speaker 1: on Tuesday and making sure they passed COVID showing up
Speaker 1: on Friday or Saturday and playing on Sunday. That's how
Speaker 1: it's been a few times this year. And to keep
Speaker 1: everything together for what it's been has been pretty remarkable
Speaker 1: so far, and there have been some good storylines. Some
Speaker 1: of these young guys are improving as this year goes along, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, especially we talked about it earlier, Jeff be
Speaker 1: Tony on the defensive line. Some of those guys are
Speaker 1: starting to play a little bit better as the year
Speaker 1: goes on. We've seen the improvement of a guy like
Speaker 1: Colin Johnson step in and and get an opportunity later
Speaker 1: in the year and he stepped up, played well. James
Speaker 1: Robinson just continues to grow. So there are some positives.
Speaker 1: I know, it's one and eleven. It's eleven straight losses.
Speaker 1: That's what the wins and losses are, the the ultimate
Speaker 1: thing you look at. But there are some things, you know,
Speaker 1: very few things you can hang your hat on and
Speaker 1: say that are getting better around here. I'm cautious when
Speaker 1: I say that, but no, but JP, you're right. I mean,
Speaker 1: listen all the I mean the fans care about and
Speaker 1: what everyone everyone cares about the end of the days
Speaker 1: wins and losses and point we're on the wrong side
Speaker 1: of that ledger right now. But if you look at
Speaker 1: let's take it a step below and look at the
Speaker 1: younger some of the young players, what they've been put
Speaker 1: into and what they how they've developed. James Robinson, we
Speaker 1: don't need to talk about him. I mean, he's one
Speaker 1: of the better running backs in the n f C,
Speaker 1: in the in the NFL. Um but I'll just call
Speaker 1: one guy out. You already talked about Colin Johnson Done Coston,
Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie free agent from Miami of Ohio, and
Speaker 1: he has come in and is one and earned a
Speaker 1: starting john up beating out of the past first rounder
Speaker 1: and Tavn Bryant. And not just because there's no one else,
Speaker 1: and maybe if there there isn't anybody else, but if
Speaker 1: you watch them, they've gotten better as a defense and
Speaker 1: a run defense with him playing that three technique, and
Speaker 1: that's impressive. And guess what, I believe he's a guy.
Speaker 1: But he's gonna come back into camp next year. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he's the starter, but boy, he's a rotation
Speaker 1: guy that you feel good about putting in the game,
Speaker 1: and he's shown that he has the ability to compete
Speaker 1: at this level. That's a win. I mean, that's a
Speaker 1: good stuff right there. And guys like Doug Constant are
Speaker 1: are developing, and uh, that's a little bit of good news.
Speaker 1: You gotta hang your hat on something, don't you. Good news.
Speaker 1: But at the same token, it's kind of bad news.
Speaker 1: And that you now have a first round pick who's
Speaker 1: a bubble guy, and that's been hurting this football team
Speaker 1: for many years, is that you're you're missing and a
Speaker 1: first round pick who right now doesn't even deserve a
Speaker 1: second look at another contract. Act. That's a problem. I
Speaker 1: agree with you. Was trying to be positive as we
Speaker 1: end this before you go to the coach, I agree to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're trying to finish on the up slope here. That's okay.
Speaker 1: We're wrapping up. Sorry guys, Titans. Happy holidays to you
Speaker 1: as well. So the Jags and the Titans come up
Speaker 1: Week four, team second time around. I mean, obviously, guys,
Speaker 1: these organizations are these teams have gone in totally different
Speaker 1: directions since Week two. Um, you know it was the
Speaker 1: first loss for the Jaguars. They haven't won since then.
Speaker 1: The Titans are in first place, toning quickly. Are the
Speaker 1: Titans sustainable? Can they go win this thing? Oh? The division? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think they can. Um, I don't think. I mean,
Speaker 1: their defense is so bad. They can't get up the field,
Speaker 1: they can't rush the passer. Um. They're really not good
Speaker 1: anywhere on the defense if you really look at it,
Speaker 1: And I just don't think it's sustainable in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: They have a good offense, they have good skill players
Speaker 1: obviously dear kenry Um, good run game, but I just
Speaker 1: think they're not good enough defensively to make a deep
Speaker 1: run in the playoffs. Logs thinks it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: tight game. What do you think bo I did too,
Speaker 1: because they showed this team shows up, Jaxviel shows up.
Speaker 1: They play hard, they play physical. Um, I think you
Speaker 1: know they're gonna give Tennessee all they want. I like
Speaker 1: it tight ball games. If the Jags can finish it
Speaker 1: this week against the Tennessee Titans and bo we will
Speaker 1: talk to you on Sunday and Week four team looking
Speaker 1: forward to guys, don't tell Dougus hello, I think you
Speaker 1: just did. He listens to the last segment usually every
Speaker 1: week from his office at T I A bank Field.
Speaker 1: Tony Vasselli out of here prior to the Jaguars left
Speaker 1: tackle joining us each week. Alright, logs final thoughts here. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a long losing skin, a division rival coming in
Speaker 1: in first place that you know very well, and it's
Speaker 1: a matchup that you think he's gonna be pretty tight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. I think it's I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: tyke ball game. I think the Jaguars have done a
Speaker 1: pretty good job against some of the running backs that
Speaker 1: they faced. Cleveland, they kind of held them down for
Speaker 1: a while, and then obviously with Dalvin Cook, I thought
Speaker 1: they did a pretty good job against him. He had
Speaker 1: to have a lot of touches to get where he
Speaker 1: was at. And this week's a big challenge with Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry and Cleveland Browns did a good job stopping him,
Speaker 1: so the Jaguars can hopefully do a good job stopping
Speaker 1: him as well. All Right, Stick Around Network coverage starts
Speaker 1: next the Doug Morone Show. The Jaguars head coach joins
Speaker 1: us from his office at t I A A bank Field.
