Speaker 1: It is Thursday, September two. This is Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: and now newly acquired backup striker for a f C
Speaker 1: Richmond Jay Peace Welcome in the September two just kind
Speaker 1: of shook me there. Here we are into September now,
Speaker 1: a little over a week away from the start of
Speaker 1: the regular season, and welcome in its Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: on a Thursday afternoon. J P. Shatrick with you, Jeff
Speaker 1: Flagman coming up in four fifteen today. Plenty to get
Speaker 1: to on the show. The cuts are in. The practice
Speaker 1: squad continues to be built. They added thirteen yesterday and
Speaker 1: reports of another ad today at the quarterback position. We'll
Speaker 1: get to that coming up. No official announcement yet from
Speaker 1: the team. We'll get to those reports in just a
Speaker 1: few moments. News of the week has been a busy
Speaker 1: week around t I A. Bank Field. The Jaguars were
Speaker 1: on the field today for the final time before Friday,
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday off network coverage of Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: at five o'clock today. Blogs will be on there and
Speaker 1: we'll we'll hear from Bucky Brooks. NFL Network analyst John
Speaker 1: Osier will break down the wide receiver position. They originally
Speaker 1: kept five, added a sixth with a waiver claim, and
Speaker 1: they've got some guys stocked on the practice squad too,
Speaker 1: so plenty to get to today, Let's recap the week
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. We're back at it today on the practice field,
Speaker 1: the final on field work of the week. As we said,
Speaker 1: the team will have off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Travis
Speaker 1: ET and Jr. Just tweeted a moment ago that quote,
Speaker 1: surgery went great. Thanks to everyone for all the love
Speaker 1: and support. The road to recovery starts now. Hashtag blessed
Speaker 1: and grateful. Eat In went under the knife today and
Speaker 1: that's good news that it all went well, according to Travis,
Speaker 1: and we wish him the best in his recovery in
Speaker 1: the months ahead and let's get him back and ready
Speaker 1: to roll in twenty two. But an unfortunate loss with
Speaker 1: this Jaguars offense that just happened about forty minutes ago,
Speaker 1: so E t N tweeted that out the roster was
Speaker 1: cut down to fifty three Tuesday at four pm. Immediately
Speaker 1: after that, head Coacherman Meyer met the media and discussed
Speaker 1: a few areas, including at the time a couple of
Speaker 1: position groups that were shorter than normal. That's concerned number
Speaker 1: one for me. You know, we got Dorset as danged
Speaker 1: right now. We brought in Devin Smith and he goes
Speaker 1: out there and makes it, you know, makes it catch
Speaker 1: that I told I haven't seen her guys make so.
Speaker 1: But he's also had two a c l as he's
Speaker 1: an older player, but he gives you the top end
Speaker 1: of the he can knock the top off the coverage.
Speaker 1: That's my that's my biggest concern. And also three running
Speaker 1: backs with the E T M being out, So that's
Speaker 1: seven conversation as we continue. So the initial initial shot
Speaker 1: there was five receivers, three running backs, but the Jaguars
Speaker 1: had the top priority in the waiver claim order, of course,
Speaker 1: and they do. Through Week three of the regular season.
Speaker 1: There was some speculation maybe they'll, you know, bring in three, four,
Speaker 1: five different guys. Possibly they ended up bringing in one
Speaker 1: on a waiver claimed. Tyron Johnson, wide receiver from the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers, a young guy and undrafted free agent
Speaker 1: by the Texans originally in twenty nineteen out of Oklahoma State,
Speaker 1: spent some time in the Texans, Bills, Panthers, and Chargers
Speaker 1: practice squads that year, was on the active roster in
Speaker 1: Week four of last season for the Chargers, and of
Speaker 1: course the Jags just claimed him speed as his game.
Speaker 1: Last year, he played in twelve games for the l
Speaker 1: A Chargers, twenty catches, just under four hundred yards and
Speaker 1: three touchdowns for l A. So something that the Jaguars needed.
Speaker 1: They needed a little more speed. Urban talked about that
Speaker 1: earlier in the week and they feel like at least
Speaker 1: they got that with Tyron Johnson now the sixth receiver
Speaker 1: on the fifty three man roster. At the same time
Speaker 1: they announced the waiver claim pick up thing announced the
Speaker 1: thirteen players at the time that were signed to the
Speaker 1: practice squad. All of those were either waived or released
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and it includes some familiar names
Speaker 1: of course at wide receiver, so Jeff Cotton Jr. Philip
Speaker 1: door Set, the second Josh Hammond, who had a good
Speaker 1: preseason is on the practice squad. Devin Smith had that
Speaker 1: long reception in preseason Week three, and then Lakwan Treadwell
Speaker 1: had his moments in camp. Those are the wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Running Backs Nathan Control and divine A Zigbo are part
Speaker 1: of that group as well. So some some guys that
Speaker 1: with the flexibility of the practice squad this year, you'll
Speaker 1: be able to move guys up and down. They are
Speaker 1: familiar with the system, of course, after being in the
Speaker 1: off season program uh in a couple of instances throughout
Speaker 1: the year. Cotton and Treadwell have not been here the
Speaker 1: entire offseason. They came in a little bit later, but
Speaker 1: they have an idea of what's going on on offense
Speaker 1: for sure. There are reports this afternoon the team is
Speaker 1: not an anounced it yet that the Jaguars, in fact,
Speaker 1: they just now moments ago announced it that they have
Speaker 1: signed two players to the practice squad, Matt Sokol, a
Speaker 1: tight end and quarterback Kyle Loletta, and they have placed
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin on injured reserve. The wide receiver Kyle Loletta.
Speaker 1: If that sounds familiar to you, remember a week one
Speaker 1: of the preseason he was the quarterback for the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns and had a pretty good outing against the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: at least statistically. In that game, he was nineteen of
Speaker 1: twenty seven passing two hundred twelve yards two touchdowns a
Speaker 1: hundred eighteen rating. Loletta fourth round picked by the Giants
Speaker 1: back in eighteen out of Richmond a wave by the
Speaker 1: Giants and final cuts that year was in the Eagles
Speaker 1: practice squad in twenty nineteen, the Falcons in twenty on
Speaker 1: the practice squad, and then the Browns practice squad last
Speaker 1: season from October through the end of the season. So
Speaker 1: Aletta now a member of the Jaguars practice squad. And
Speaker 1: again just moments ago the team announced that low let
Speaker 1: Us signed to the practice squad and Matt Sokol the
Speaker 1: tight end and Tavon Austin, who was having himself a
Speaker 1: nice camp. He came in very late uh in camp
Speaker 1: and right away was making plays in the practice field.
Speaker 1: Had his moments in games. Felt like he could have
Speaker 1: been at least part of the solution to the Travis
Speaker 1: c t in absence, maybe not the whole solution. There's
Speaker 1: not many guys that can do all of those things,
Speaker 1: but he's got some experience in the league. Unfortunately, he
Speaker 1: is on injured reserved after he was banged up on
Speaker 1: the practice field going into last week's preseason finale in Dallas.
Speaker 1: So that's the update on the practice squad. Let's move
Speaker 1: down to the offensive line, and earlier this week, George Warhop,
Speaker 1: offensive line coach, spoke with the media. It was actually
Speaker 1: yesterday and it sounds like starting five should be available
Speaker 1: Week one against the Houston Texans. According to war Hoop,
Speaker 1: that's good news. Of course. Cam Robinson turned an ankle
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Left guard Andrew Norwell has
Speaker 1: been battling through an elbow issue, nothing too major. They're
Speaker 1: a little knee issue for Brandon Lender and a j
Speaker 1: Can is still on the reserve COVID nine team list
Speaker 1: even today, but there are expectations that those guys could
Speaker 1: be back. There's also a lot of talk to this
Speaker 1: camp about Walker, little second round draft pick out of
Speaker 1: Stanford this year, and Warhops still has confidence in the
Speaker 1: young left tackle for the Jacks. I think Walker's performed
Speaker 1: right most rookies perform, I think um. I think in
Speaker 1: some instances he's done really well. In some instances he
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit, and most of the struggles are
Speaker 1: really just putting himself in position to win right, and
Speaker 1: that's getting used to playing the game at this speed
Speaker 1: and at this level. Um I made the statement before
Speaker 1: about Walker, I think he's the most prepared young guy
Speaker 1: I've had and I still stand by that. But there's
Speaker 1: still a process involved, right for a guy to come
Speaker 1: out of college, to come into this league and have
Speaker 1: to play left tackle unless you're, um, you know, a
Speaker 1: top five pick. And even though guys struggle playing left tackle,
Speaker 1: um you know, as a work in progress. And he
Speaker 1: hasn't played football and nearly two full seasons. He was
Speaker 1: hurt Week one of twenty nineteen. Remember that, of course,
Speaker 1: and we've seen a lot in the preseason. It is
Speaker 1: a work in progress. There are still high hopes, as
Speaker 1: you heard, Warhops stay there. But the starting five that
Speaker 1: everybody thought was going to begin the season at least,
Speaker 1: that's the plan as of right now, is to let
Speaker 1: them start Week one against the Houston Texas. We'll see
Speaker 1: how the season goes. Attrition things can happen. At some point.
Speaker 1: You might see Walker a little in a game on
Speaker 1: the offensive line for the Jaguars. Who knows now on
Speaker 1: a quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, of course you might have heard
Speaker 1: of him. He's the starter. He was the number one
Speaker 1: overall pick. C. J. Bethard now the backup for the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: After the trade of gardnerment to the second to the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and beth Word spoke with the media Wednesday
Speaker 1: about coming into a new offense with the Jaguars after
Speaker 1: three seasons in San Francisco. Spring was trying to trying
Speaker 1: to get a feel four up for the offense, determinology, um,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. You know, it's kind of
Speaker 1: like learning a new language. You know, there's some carryover
Speaker 1: from you know, certain offices in the NFL, and there's
Speaker 1: a little bit here, but but it really is like
Speaker 1: learning a new language. So just kind of trying to
Speaker 1: speak that language with the coaches and get on the
Speaker 1: same page with them. And you know, I'm still you know,
Speaker 1: I'm still growing and learning and trying to do that
Speaker 1: as we're go, and I will be for the next
Speaker 1: you know, eever long i'm here. So but it's definitely
Speaker 1: slowed down a lot this camp. As camp started to
Speaker 1: get going in preseason started to get gone, it's slowed
Speaker 1: down a lot, and and uh, you know, I feel
Speaker 1: comfortable in enough. Well. C. J. Bethard is from Franklin, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: and he has the beard to match, I think. But
Speaker 1: good to hear from Bethard this week. The third round
Speaker 1: pick of the forty Niners in seventeen out of Iowa.
Speaker 1: Of course, signed in this off season, got some guaranteed
Speaker 1: money with that about two point to excuse me, two
Speaker 1: point seven million dollars, and played in nineteen games with
Speaker 1: San Francisco with twelve starts to ten record out there
Speaker 1: as a starter through for just under thirty five yards
Speaker 1: in that time frame, eighteen scores, thirteen interceptions. You know,
Speaker 1: And and he's a guy that has been around. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Trent Balky is here now was in San Francisco. Um
Speaker 1: Bethard is going to be a good resource. I think
Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence as well. It's been in the league
Speaker 1: for a few years. Kind of gets it. Can at
Speaker 1: least so at what we saw in the preseason. Can
Speaker 1: is not scared to throw the ball down the field
Speaker 1: if he needs to. The consistency in the regular year,
Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing. You don't want to see
Speaker 1: him all the time. Obviously that means Trevor is not
Speaker 1: playing or you're up by forty and then you want
Speaker 1: to see him, and that'd be okay too, But there
Speaker 1: it is. He's the backup quarterback and he understands the role.
Speaker 1: I think he totally gets what's going on and he'll
Speaker 1: be a good resource for Trevor Lawrence and this offense.
Speaker 1: Let's move to today. Now we heard from wide receiver
Speaker 1: d J. Chark Jr. And remember he saw for the
Speaker 1: hairline fracture in the middle finger on his right hand
Speaker 1: early in training camp. And obviously he has fired up,
Speaker 1: as he said today to be on the practice field
Speaker 1: this week and again next week to get ready for
Speaker 1: a week one. Early on. You know, came out dressed
Speaker 1: at the day running on the side. Um, yesterday we
Speaker 1: had practice. It was my first time actually in breaking
Speaker 1: the hood today the saying and just moving forward doing that. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know running on the side is different from breaking
Speaker 1: the hoodle Uh, running against the dB resistant running things
Speaker 1: like that. So there's still ways to go, but you know,
Speaker 1: I have good faith in myself and my coaching staff
Speaker 1: to help me get there. You know it's you gott
Speaker 1: like tim more days, so I'd be good. Remember early
Speaker 1: in the off season, d J. Chark Jr. Was challenged
Speaker 1: by Urban Meyer. I said he didn't play big last
Speaker 1: year and by size. Uh. He challenged to put on
Speaker 1: some mus so and he did that eight to ten
Speaker 1: pounds of muscle in this offseason, came back to the
Speaker 1: off season program much stronger and now in training camp,
Speaker 1: just hasn't seen a lot of the field, of course,
Speaker 1: because of that finger injury. It's a huge year for
Speaker 1: charc It is a contract year for him, and you know,
Speaker 1: as a second round pick, this is the final year
Speaker 1: of his rookie contract and there are high hopes for
Speaker 1: Chark to be a big piece of this offense and
Speaker 1: the piece of it that you can stretch out down
Speaker 1: the field. They don't have a lot of that, at
Speaker 1: least proven here yet. They might have it on paper,
Speaker 1: but they haven't really seen it. Chark is a guy
Speaker 1: that can do that, and it will It will be
Speaker 1: nice to see the full front line receiving group on
Speaker 1: the field during a game, I think for the first
Speaker 1: time in a while, if not at all in the preseason, Chart,
Speaker 1: Jones and Chennault didn't have much time together because of
Speaker 1: the injury to Chart and and working with Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: with those three guys out there in a full arsenal,
Speaker 1: will be nice to see. Let's move to defense now.
Speaker 1: Second year linebacker Shack Quarterman is put together a nice
Speaker 1: training camp Special teams star of course, but He's also
Speaker 1: loving the field. On defense. His defense is a player
Speaker 1: friendly defense for sure, you know. And that's one of
Speaker 1: the first things that the coaching staff you know, implemented
Speaker 1: when they came in. You know, they said, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the way to keep good players good players is to
Speaker 1: give them, you know, uh, simple tasks allow him to
Speaker 1: play fans. So Coach Cullen has done a great job
Speaker 1: with them. But in terms of when the light came on,
Speaker 1: I knew soon as I really got my opportunity to
Speaker 1: put my cleats on the ground, you know, I would
Speaker 1: definitely uh gain confidence and just knowing where I belong
Speaker 1: three four inside linebacker. He's a downhill player. Of course.
Speaker 1: He's right here from Oakliff High School in Orange Park.
Speaker 1: It's the second season now. He was the leading special
Speaker 1: teams tackler a year ago for the Jags and his
Speaker 1: rookie campaign and uh, one of the leading tacklers, I
Speaker 1: should say, uh. And he'll be a big piece of
Speaker 1: that again, obviously on the special teams part of it.
Speaker 1: Will he play a little more of a role on
Speaker 1: defense depends on how they set up certain things. But
Speaker 1: obviously with Miles Jack and Damian Wilson, the front line
Speaker 1: guys in the middle. We'll see if he can touch
Speaker 1: the field on defense a little bit more. And part
Speaker 1: of the Joe Schobert trade, a piece of it at least,
Speaker 1: was their belief in chat quarterman and his ability on defense.
Speaker 1: If not now, then maybe in the future. Moving along,
Speaker 1: let's finish with the kicker. Josh Lambeau met the media today.
Speaker 1: He had plenty to say about his season a year
Speaker 1: ago with that hip issue, a little bit of what's
Speaker 1: going on above the shoulders with him, but also the
Speaker 1: kicking situation this year and his status entering You know it,
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit of time, you know, I've
Speaker 1: I've never had this situation. I've never come off of
Speaker 1: a season where I only played four games. Now coming
Speaker 1: into the season with a new coach, now coming into
Speaker 1: a season with no guaranteed money on my contract. Like,
Speaker 1: I know how things work arounestly. You know, if you
Speaker 1: once you get that big number in front of your contract,
Speaker 1: you have a big old targeting back. And I'm aware
Speaker 1: of how things work, and so that has fueled me
Speaker 1: more too. It's like I said, work harder, do more,
Speaker 1: watch more film, ask more questions because I still think
Speaker 1: there's a little bit left in the tank. Well, as
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers said, I just gotta make the field goals.

Speaker 1: dot CoV. Jaguars Happy Hour continues. JP Shadrick with Jeff
Speaker 1: Logaman on the desk with us now Happy Thursday. Logs
Speaker 1: on this weird preseason by week It's kind of odd, right,
Speaker 1: you know. It's like though, There's a couple of reasons
Speaker 1: why I think I like it. One of those is,
Speaker 1: you know, after a long off season program and you know,
Speaker 1: training camp and things, everybody just gets a week two. Okay,
Speaker 1: take a week away, get your mind right, and get
Speaker 1: ready for a week one. Also for the football team.
Speaker 1: Second reason I like it those little nicks, those little
Speaker 1: injuries will turned ankle this or that. I think you'll
Speaker 1: have more of a full strength feeling week one around
Speaker 1: the league then I think you have in the past.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to disagree with any anything you said,
Speaker 1: But the main reason I'm gonna say why I like
Speaker 1: it is because did we really want to watch the
Speaker 1: fourth prese easing game. I mean, dang, JP, I mean
Speaker 1: the fourth preseason game was painful, it was right, So
Speaker 1: instead of having a fourth preseason game, now we get
Speaker 1: one extra regular season game and a big picture. That's
Speaker 1: what this is about. That's a good thing. In two
Speaker 1: weeks is great to allow teams to focus on getting
Speaker 1: ready for the opener. But also there's gonna be some
Speaker 1: interesting days, okay, because rosters are gonna be continue to
Speaker 1: be tweaked all the way up until the end of
Speaker 1: next week. That's the reality. And uh and so it's
Speaker 1: not gonna get quiet all sudden because now there's a
Speaker 1: bye week. I mean, there's still gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of activity. You know. I think we just heard from
Speaker 1: urban Meyer there and that was the big headline all
Speaker 1: that stuff. Well, here's what I think Urban could cut
Speaker 1: a ham sandwich quote unquote incorrectly and catch hell for
Speaker 1: it from the national media just because of his name recognition.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't think you said anything incorrect. Well,
Speaker 1: the reason why it became a big stories because the
Speaker 1: Players Association Association came out and said they are investigating.
Speaker 1: That's what they said, Georgia type from the Players Association.
Speaker 1: So when the Players Association says we are investigating urber
Speaker 1: Meyer's comments, what is there to investigate? Okay, the script
Speaker 1: is right there, the video can you can go to
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com NFL p A and watch the video
Speaker 1: to do this thorough investigation. The reality is he didn't
Speaker 1: say anything wrong whatsoever. Every coach in the National Football
Speaker 1: League has a responsibility to their team to win football games.
Speaker 1: And how do you win football games. You get better players.
Speaker 1: You get better players that are available. Okay, that's right.
Speaker 1: And the team actually put out a statement the next
Speaker 1: day about availability and the importance. And if you're watching
Speaker 1: on video, you can read the entire statement on Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot com. We won't go through it here, but look,
Speaker 1: here's the reality is the availability, which is we've heard
Speaker 1: general managers and coaches for years talking about that availability
Speaker 1: is way better than any other kind of ability that
Speaker 1: a player has. Simple because the player can't play, then
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. So you can't stick your head in
Speaker 1: the sand and act like that. A player's vaccination status
Speaker 1: is not of part of the decision making process. Sure
Speaker 1: it is the deciding factor JP. If I'm well, here's
Speaker 1: the fact, Okay, let me let me give you where
Speaker 1: it is. Okay from my standpoint, if I'm a general
Speaker 1: manager or not, or I'm a coach, Okay, and I've
Speaker 1: got player A, and I've got player B, player A
Speaker 1: and player B are about making the same amount of money.
Speaker 1: Player A and player B about the same as far
Speaker 1: as potential. Wise, far as potential the ability to play,
Speaker 1: everything is equal the determining factory, right, there sways to
Speaker 1: one And if one's vaccinated and the the other one is not,
Speaker 1: I'm taking the vaccinated player. If everything is everything else
Speaker 1: is equal, that just makes sense. You have a responsibility
Speaker 1: to the team to get the best player you can
Speaker 1: for the team, and availability or possible availability, is part
Speaker 1: of that factor. And I don't understand why, you know,
Speaker 1: and look, the media and some of the people that
Speaker 1: criticize that are saying, well, he should have just lied. Okay,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick lied about Cam Newton and that's why he
Speaker 1: was cut. Well, we don't know that. And to sit
Speaker 1: there and say that that Bill Belichick lit I think
Speaker 1: it is ridiculous. That's a big assumption. Maybe it was,
Speaker 1: but you know, you don't know that. And so to
Speaker 1: sit there and go, Okay, well, we're gonna jump on
Speaker 1: her remire. We're gonna call Bill Belichick a liar because
Speaker 1: they're not admitting the fact. Look, the reality is is that,
Speaker 1: Look that's a fact, and the players ought to realize
Speaker 1: that if and this is this is reality player and
Speaker 1: player B. Player A vaccinated, Player B unvaccinated. Equal. Okay,
Speaker 1: player A vaccinated, he stays, he gets cut, And now
Speaker 1: Be's on the street. What do you think best thinking,
Speaker 1: maybe I should get vaccinated because you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: on the street and I need a job. And if
Speaker 1: I'm on the street, Okay, now there's player being, player
Speaker 1: C on the street, Player sees vaccinated, Be still stays unvaccinated.
Speaker 1: The team that needs a guy is going to go
Speaker 1: to see so once again Be gets bypassed. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just it's just common sense. So but anyway, it's
Speaker 1: a it was an interesting cut. There was a defensive
Speaker 1: heavy roster. Yeah, I was gonna ask you were there
Speaker 1: any surprise cuts? And here here's why it was not
Speaker 1: a surprise anywhere with the expanded rosters that you have
Speaker 1: there is is there really a shortage on one side
Speaker 1: of the ball or not? No, no, Becoman, because look
Speaker 1: at the practice squad that you as symble melt right,
Speaker 1: it's it's heavy with guys, you know obviously, And okay, quarterback,
Speaker 1: tight end, wide receiver, running back, wide receiver, wide receiver, center,
Speaker 1: running back, wide receiver, offensive lineman, offensive lineman, wide receiver. Okay,
Speaker 1: you can pluck any of these guys up on game day, Okay,
Speaker 1: any of these sixteen guys up on game day and
Speaker 1: bring them up. So it's not anymore. It's not anymore.
Speaker 1: And when you're trying to formulate your roster, it's always
Speaker 1: about the fifty three. You're trying to keep the best
Speaker 1: fifty three most valuable guys that you can. And then
Speaker 1: after that you have six team roster spots. I'm not
Speaker 1: calling it practice squad because in fact it's a roster
Speaker 1: spot because you can use them, okay four times for free,
Speaker 1: each player four times, and then after that, if you need,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to activate them up to the active
Speaker 1: roster to be able to use him any any point
Speaker 1: after that. That's like having an expanded roster. The expanded
Speaker 1: roster doesn't make the cut to theft three all that
Speaker 1: you know of a wow moment anymore. Who are the
Speaker 1: four that you think you would protect? And you can
Speaker 1: change that every week, and so people can't come grab
Speaker 1: your guys. Quarterback on this list, I mean, you always
Speaker 1: want to protect your quarterback. And I'm sure that the
Speaker 1: Jaguars tried to keep Jake Lewton, and they're not gonna
Speaker 1: come out and say that because then it's kind of offensive.
Speaker 1: Kyle Auletta, who the Jaguars did put a release out
Speaker 1: to say that they signed him to the practice they did. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: so you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings there. Always
Speaker 1: protect the quarterback because you've only got three guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're they're valuable that have obviously, um, looking at the
Speaker 1: rest of them. I mean to be honest with you, JP,
Speaker 1: I mean, they all got there, so it's not like
Speaker 1: there's you know, they're there for a reason exactly. So
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they'll figure it out. You pick four,
Speaker 1: I'll pick four. Joe could pick four. And here's the
Speaker 1: crazy thing you could take. You could take eight of
Speaker 1: the Jaguars scouting staff and say give me four. They
Speaker 1: may come up with different fours every time, you know.
Speaker 1: But but the biggest thing I think you have to
Speaker 1: factor in is that where are you light at on
Speaker 1: your roster And if you're light in one particular position,
Speaker 1: like your little light maybe at wide receiver, maybe a
Speaker 1: little light at running back. So do you protect those
Speaker 1: guys just because the numbers. Okay, the numbers are consideration,
Speaker 1: probably so. But from a talent standpoint, if there's a
Speaker 1: guy that you're sitting there going wow, we got to
Speaker 1: protect him because we think he's going to be really good.
Speaker 1: He ain't on the practice squad. Let's come back in
Speaker 1: a moment. No offense to the guys on the practice right,
Speaker 1: but there's you're not there yet, but you could be there.
Speaker 1: It's not the end of the world. No, that's that's
Speaker 1: a good place to be. You're not there yet. That
Speaker 1: that means that I'm not saying you'll never get there.
Speaker 1: It's just that you're not there yet. Plenty ahead. Let's
Speaker 1: talk defense when we come back. They kept a bunch
Speaker 1: of dudes on defense guys, but they did have the
Speaker 1: one subtraction Daniel quality, So they gonna less one dude,
Speaker 1: one less dude. Yes, we'll break all that down coming up.

Speaker 1: ten ten X at Home of the Checks in Bille
Speaker 1: Jaguars Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick with Jaguars analyst Jeff Vlagman. Glad you're
Speaker 1: along with us this afternoon, and it is the bye
Speaker 1: before the regular year. Jaguar's game day broadcasts are presented
Speaker 1: by Vice Start Credit Union Logs. We were going through numbers, right,
Speaker 1: and you know, the initial fifty three had many more
Speaker 1: defensive players in offense, even we discussed some of that.
Speaker 1: They Originally it was one and then since you just
Speaker 1: had Daniel a quality cut and you acquired the wide
Speaker 1: receiver from the Charges, now it goes to defensive players,
Speaker 1: two offensive players, and then three specialists. Bunch of defensive
Speaker 1: linemen quite quite quite a bit and obviously with their teams,
Speaker 1: but but I mean here you're you're talking about seven positions,
Speaker 1: right if you count the outside linebacker guys, if you're
Speaker 1: talking bigs, but in reality, if you're thinking in terms
Speaker 1: of okay, the National Football League is now of nickel,
Speaker 1: it goes down to that's now four positions, right, Um, yes,
Speaker 1: okay playing four four one four two right, playing nickel
Speaker 1: or dime. So from that standpoint, yeah, I thought that
Speaker 1: number was kind of high. I thought maybe in my mind,
Speaker 1: I thought Sidney Jones was gonna make it, and that
Speaker 1: they would have one less defensive lineman, possibly because you'd
Speaker 1: want to have the corner corners are hard to find.
Speaker 1: But you gotta you gotta a draft pick for a
Speaker 1: guy that you never gave up anything to get in
Speaker 1: the first place. I mean, that's positive. He didn't have
Speaker 1: a great preseason. You've got burns on the practice squad.
Speaker 1: Who's a young guy, that the reason he's there. Do
Speaker 1: you think maybe he can turn into something? And then
Speaker 1: I think there's also the possibility because I will say this,
Speaker 1: they used the term fluid, Yeah they did, and that
Speaker 1: that's the right term because things could change in five minutes. Okay,
Speaker 1: you could end up cutting two defensive lineman and adding
Speaker 1: a wide receiver or running back and then maybe a
Speaker 1: defensive player at cornerback. So you just don't know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. That's why there's gonna be There's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of watching the news release, press release, you know,
Speaker 1: reading all the different media outlets, following Twitter. I know
Speaker 1: you big Twitter guy? As are you a huge Twitter guy?
Speaker 1: Jeff log at logs five and then yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: right at at logs fifty six, tweet all the time, NonStop, NonStop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a problem. I'm just knee deep in it. We
Speaker 1: needed to talk to you about that. I got a problem.
Speaker 1: I need some help. Quick, sweeting cold turkey. Just stop. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's definitely gonna be interesting. I'm glad
Speaker 1: that they got the third wide wider, I mean, the
Speaker 1: third quarterback. I mean, that's a positive. It didn't surprise
Speaker 1: me about the lower number of the wide receivers we got.
Speaker 1: We got excited about a lot of guys at different times.
Speaker 1: But was there anything that may did you continue to go,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah the next week oh yeah, Door said,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, tread well, oh yeah. They all had moments.
Speaker 1: They had moments. Okay, moments ain't what the game is about.
Speaker 1: Consistency is what the game is about. And that's why
Speaker 1: these guys have bounced around a little bit, and can
Speaker 1: they provide you with some big plays at some point?
Speaker 1: Hopefully because they're on a practice squad, they're probably gonna
Speaker 1: have to play for you at some point. But did
Speaker 1: they warrant being on the active roster. No. The concern though,
Speaker 1: is that the guys that you have on the active roster,
Speaker 1: there has not been a whole lot of continuity because
Speaker 1: they all haven't been practicing this well. I talked about
Speaker 1: it earlier with Shark's been out, the starting three really
Speaker 1: haven't been on the field together, and then the other
Speaker 1: three guys are on the roster, but they've kind of
Speaker 1: come and gone. It's yeah. But the good thing is
Speaker 1: as we saw you played the DJ interview early on
Speaker 1: and we heard that we heard him say that he's
Speaker 1: practicing now, So I mean that's a positive. And can
Speaker 1: you do developed chemistry and in a short amount of time.
Speaker 1: That's difficult to do it really is, It's really difficult
Speaker 1: to do. So I feel like they had some of
Speaker 1: the offseason though, sharking those guys. It's a long time ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know what JP think about it in terms
Speaker 1: of of the greatness that we've witnessed in the league
Speaker 1: when there where there's real chemistry between guys, I mean
Speaker 1: real chemistry, and I when I always sit there and
Speaker 1: I go, okay, what's greatness? Well? Who do you look at?
Speaker 1: Tom tom Brady? And who do you listen to? Tom Brady?
Speaker 1: And he takes this rookie draft pick that he's got
Speaker 1: over there in Tampa Bay this year and he's taking
Speaker 1: this guy every where he's going because he said, look,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta count on this guy. He is
Speaker 1: gonna be a contributor for us. Because the Tom Brady
Speaker 1: that we've seen before, which we had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: watch it firsthand up in New England when the Jaguars
Speaker 1: went out there to practice, if you're not if you're
Speaker 1: not one of tom Brady's guys, you don't practice with him. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: because he doesn't want to build chemistry with some guy.
Speaker 1: Okay that's not gonna be around. I thought you're gonna
Speaker 1: say something else there, but I thought you're very being
Speaker 1: nice to better. Yes, okay. He wants to practice with
Speaker 1: guys that he's actually gonna play with because he wants
Speaker 1: to build chemistry with those guys and So with Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a little bit of a challenging
Speaker 1: year because he's a rookie. And on top of that,
Speaker 1: how much time has he had to build chemistry with
Speaker 1: the starters. That's that's gonna be an interesting watch. But
Speaker 1: he's a talented player, and I'm sure he's gonna figure
Speaker 1: out the best way that he can and the fastest
Speaker 1: way that he can to develop chemistry with him. Jaguars
Speaker 1: kept five safeties, all good players, Cisco for Jenkins, Thomas,
Speaker 1: and Wingered all good players, all good players. I like
Speaker 1: them all. And you know what uh and Urban actually
Speaker 1: said they they felt all eight safeties that were in
Speaker 1: camp are gonna be NFL players. I thought I thought
Speaker 1: that Jared Wilson this was worthy of a roster spot.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I wasn't a big fan of Josh Jones.
Speaker 1: I just he's been around the league a minute. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean there's he's had some things in the past
Speaker 1: that's affected his ability to be an effective player and
Speaker 1: has not been a smart player at times. And but
Speaker 1: the safety I mean, these guys are good now. And
Speaker 1: and here's I think one thing that I think Trent
Speaker 1: Balky gets because you have two weeks. Okay, now you've
Speaker 1: got this window, and what can still happen? Okay, fluidity,
Speaker 1: right absolutely, and fluidity means cut a guy, claim a guy,
Speaker 1: trade a guy, okay, and trades certainly are a possibility.
Speaker 1: And so when you get down to fifty three, you're
Speaker 1: trying to protect because you have two weeks. You're not
Speaker 1: thinking quite yet about game that you are in the
Speaker 1: back of your mind are but it's still a little
Speaker 1: ways out. But and if you still you still got
Speaker 1: a little time. So I think in the front of
Speaker 1: your mind, if you're a general manager in the National
Speaker 1: Football League, now this year, as opposed to other years,
Speaker 1: you're thinking about where's the value at who can I
Speaker 1: keep that's gonna give me? So so even safety, and
Speaker 1: the safety is a perfect example. Okay, you've got five
Speaker 1: guys there, and in reality you had six. You could
Speaker 1: have kept all six, and you could have said, hey,
Speaker 1: I got six guys here, and all these guys are
Speaker 1: worthy of a roster spot. Somebody may want one of
Speaker 1: my safety because this is where we're pretty good at.
Speaker 1: And I've got a week to figure things out. I've
Speaker 1: got a week to make some phone calls put some
Speaker 1: feelers out that maybe I can I can help my
Speaker 1: running back position out, maybe I can help my wide
Speaker 1: receiver position out. Because this guy, some of these guys
Speaker 1: that I have at safety, I think some teams are
Speaker 1: gonna want them and and be a trade. So I
Speaker 1: think from that standpoint, I think it almos would change
Speaker 1: how general manage would approach this year's final fifty three
Speaker 1: a little bit. And now you're gonna make sure that
Speaker 1: you protect your best fifty three. Okay, I got my
Speaker 1: arms around all my fifty three guys because I know
Speaker 1: I like these guys and I covered them, and these
Speaker 1: guys got value. I'm not quite ready for my my
Speaker 1: game day roster. You know, I know him a little
Speaker 1: week at running back. I know him a little week
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Okay, that's okay, because I got two
Speaker 1: weeks because I like these guys. They got value. And
Speaker 1: then I might take one out because somebody else is
Speaker 1: gonna take one out of theirs, you know, so you
Speaker 1: might make a little little swap. So stay tuned Fluidity
Speaker 1: for those listening on radio and not watching this, he
Speaker 1: Jeff is quite a dramatic actor. I'll say that I
Speaker 1: was like, he's bringing all the chips into his side. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I would taking chips. You know, I was thinking
Speaker 1: like food, I'm keep protecting my food, growling at people,
Speaker 1: get away from my safetys. I'm plenty to get to.
Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment with the injury reports.
Speaker 1: There's been an addition since we've come on the air
Speaker 1: today to that unfortunately well Trevor Lawrence talk and the
Speaker 1: week end ahead, including a lot of ticket sales going

Speaker 1: t I bank feel okay, yes, could they put the
Speaker 1: Jaguars Texans game on like a big giant screen inside
Speaker 1: Daily's play Good question, yeah, because it's the one and
Speaker 1: then the same and Packers. I mean, if if I
Speaker 1: was a Jaguar fan and they had if they said, hey,
Speaker 1: look we're putting the Jaguars game up in the stadium
Speaker 1: at different places, I'd be like, all right, cool man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go watch the Jaguars play in Houston at
Speaker 1: the stadium here in town, and then after we partied
Speaker 1: up and watch them, then I'm gonna go watch Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers take on the New Orleans Saints. Right. Interesting, interesting idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder, well, let's look into that and see. I
Speaker 1: think that'd be a pretty cool day to what, uh
Speaker 1: you know, double head or football. I mean, of course,
Speaker 1: you know you have all the monitors with updates and
Speaker 1: stuff from all the other zone. If you had a
Speaker 1: dedicated big giant screen to the Jaguars game inside Deli's Place. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm, I'm gonna find me a seat. Let's take
Speaker 1: a look at the injury report presented by Baptist Health
Speaker 1: changing healthcare for good and the Dylan Moses on the
Speaker 1: active non football injury lists. That seems like a longer
Speaker 1: term play and to deserve updated a moment ago, Travis E.
Speaker 1: T N Jr. And Terry god wouldn't done for the year.
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin was added today with a quada issue he
Speaker 1: went down on the practice field last week. And different
Speaker 1: categories for those guys, Okay, okay, because E t N
Speaker 1: and Godwin are on i R for the year, correct
Speaker 1: the i R before the fifty three was made, Okay,
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin was a part of the final fifty three
Speaker 1: and now he was put on it after the fifty
Speaker 1: three was determined. So now he is gonna be on
Speaker 1: what what I call a short term I or he
Speaker 1: can play in a couple of weeks. Okay, So that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. And an a j Ken obviously once
Speaker 1: he comes off the COVID list, they will have to
Speaker 1: release somebody from the roster to open the spot back
Speaker 1: for him because he does not count against the final
Speaker 1: fifty three being on the COVID list right now, So
Speaker 1: there are some changes to come whenever that happened. Fluid
Speaker 1: it is right. That's the definition of fle with That's
Speaker 1: what we have right now. There's your injury report, presented

Speaker 1: six three three two thousand. Parking will be available first come,
Speaker 1: first served, but it's thirty dollars per vehicle, and the
Speaker 1: lots associated with t I a bankfield. There's gonna be
Speaker 1: I think Saints and and Packers fans coming from you know,
Speaker 1: four mile radius. I mean, and I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome. I mean, what a great opportunity for them that, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, instead of driving all the way to wisconstant.
Speaker 1: If somebody's living and let's say, you know Georgia, South Carolina,
Speaker 1: North Carolina or whatever, like, hey man, let's go let's
Speaker 1: go check a game out. It's right down there in Jackson.
Speaker 1: But I think it's it would be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: And and again, if you can tune into the Jaguars
Speaker 1: game somehow, if if that that's gonna be in the
Speaker 1: stadium at a place and and gonna be dedicated to
Speaker 1: the Jaguars game until kickoff happens. With the Saints and
Speaker 1: the Packers, I would make it, I think a very
Speaker 1: attractive opportunity. I'll say this, the Saints and Packers only
Speaker 1: rule through here once every four years, right the rotation
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers Rodgers last year in green, but many more
Speaker 1: chances may you get to see Aaron Rodgers in a
Speaker 1: Packers uniform. Okay, and let me just say this, kudos
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars for offering up the stadium and the
Speaker 1: city and helping the Saints out, because I mean, wow,
Speaker 1: I mean, what a what a tremendous uh uh tough
Speaker 1: situation that the Saints staff, the Saints fans are in
Speaker 1: with Ida having gone through there and and created a
Speaker 1: lot of havoc, and I mean, it's just it's a
Speaker 1: It's a great gesture on behalf of the Jaguars because
Speaker 1: they're helping do this. And there's a lot of staff
Speaker 1: members on the Jaguars that are gonna help this work. Okay,
Speaker 1: They're gonna be putting in some moti to help the
Speaker 1: Saints organization and help people see football and now that's
Speaker 1: it to them, and kudos to the that's that's ticket sales.
Speaker 1: Like we just mentioned that the staff here is the
Speaker 1: primary sales staff for the Saints for this game. And
Speaker 1: then uh in in stadium entertainment people as well. I
Speaker 1: mean there they there was a big call today to
Speaker 1: figure out how and who's gonna run what, And it's
Speaker 1: still those conversations will go all the way through next
Speaker 1: week too, but it'll be interesting. But I mean, the
Speaker 1: way I read it, um, the league wanted the game
Speaker 1: in an NFL stadium because of especially because of the
Speaker 1: instant replay they have to have the wire to Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's they they want to have all games in NFL stadiums.
Speaker 1: And remember in Katrina. The right after Katrina, this is
Speaker 1: obviously two thousand four or five, Um, they played a
Speaker 1: game at Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge at one point, and
Speaker 1: then went to San Antonio and played in the Alamo. Done.
Speaker 1: They were moving around a bunch of different places. And
Speaker 1: now you know, we'll see what happen. They only have
Speaker 1: one more home game in the next six weeks, the Saints,
Speaker 1: so we'll have to look. I haven't looked at this idea,
Speaker 1: but they're just trying to get through a week one.
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty pretty unique opportunity, no doubt. So
Speaker 1: the Jaguars that week will be in Houston against the Texans.
Speaker 1: First start ever for a guy by the name of
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I've heard of him. Uh, it's going to
Speaker 1: be a big day for Jaguars fans that they've been
Speaker 1: We've been waiting on this for a long long time
Speaker 1: around this organization, just to see somebody like that suit
Speaker 1: up and run out of the tunnel. I mean, he
Speaker 1: looked good in Dallas, I mean really good. And that
Speaker 1: was when Urban talked about prior to the game. He said,
Speaker 1: you know, we want to try to get a taste
Speaker 1: of success, experience success, find rhythm, get tempo, all these
Speaker 1: things that you're trying to do leading up to the
Speaker 1: first regular season game. And I think the confidence from
Speaker 1: a confidence standpoint, and you know, a lot of people say, well,
Speaker 1: you know, some of the guys that I work with, Oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys didn't play thirty, guys didn't dress thirty.
Speaker 1: Some of the guys you work with, you and Sally
Speaker 1: and Dempsey, Urban Meyer he's said that too. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean here's the thing. I don't care if you're playing
Speaker 1: against guys that okay, they sat thirty of them. Confidence
Speaker 1: is a good thing. Urbans said that also, and so
Speaker 1: to to and even if you're playing against what was
Speaker 1: the high school you went to, Hewett Trustville High School,
Speaker 1: Hewett Hewitt Okay, even if you're playing okay, if you're
Speaker 1: playing the Huskies, I don't care. If you're playing them,
Speaker 1: you have some success that it builds confidence. And so
Speaker 1: that's good for the Jaguars offense. Heading in the regular season.
Speaker 1: I think the defense continue to do some solid things
Speaker 1: and probably less impressive because there wasn't as many weapons
Speaker 1: out there, and it was very obvious that the quarterback
Speaker 1: play for the Cowboys was not very good. That was
Speaker 1: partly due to the Jaguars defensive performance. But to see
Speaker 1: the offense of the Jaguars have some rhythm and have
Speaker 1: some success was really good. In fact, JP, He's going
Speaker 1: to the helmet, folks, there was if you're watching on
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com, he's pulled a helmet off the shelf
Speaker 1: behind him and it is in front of him and
Speaker 1: he's about to demonstrate something. Well, and what the reason
Speaker 1: I put this up here and for those that are
Speaker 1: just listening on the radio, I get it. Okay, So
Speaker 1: Jaguars helmet that has two pieces or two stripes of
Speaker 1: athletic tape going down the middle from the forehead to
Speaker 1: the back of the head like a mohawk. Yes, okay.
Speaker 1: And the reason that I have this up here is
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars quarterbacks actually throughout training camp actually wore
Speaker 1: this on their helmets. They had two pieces of athletic
Speaker 1: tape like a mohawk stripe going down the helmet. The
Speaker 1: reason that they had that is because, and I give
Speaker 1: the Jaguars coaching staff credit, I have never seen, seriously,
Speaker 1: and I'm not joking. I've been in the National Football
Speaker 1: League since nineteen nine. I've never seen coaches do this
Speaker 1: on a helmet in the NFL. Never. And what does
Speaker 1: it mean? What is it for? A lot of people
Speaker 1: may be asking, Yeah, a quarterback's eyes are not everything,
Speaker 1: but they're a big part of the game. And there's
Speaker 1: two plays that I was able to watch on film
Speaker 1: that were extremely impressive and that you could tell that
Speaker 1: the focus and concentration on this white stripe of the
Speaker 1: helmet in practice paid all for Trevor Lawrence and the jacket. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I drew one of them last night and that
Speaker 1: played on wired. Okay, remember the long passed the TV show?
Speaker 1: You remember the long past to Philip Dorset, and it
Speaker 1: was to Trevor Lawrence. Is right, yes, it was. If
Speaker 1: you watch on film, when Trevor Lawrence is getting the
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, the first thing he does, because
Speaker 1: they're kind of showing cover two, the first thing he
Speaker 1: does is to stare at the one safety that's buzzing
Speaker 1: back to the middle third to play a single I safety.
Speaker 1: Why is he staring at him? He's trying to get
Speaker 1: him to move back into that deep middle, and so
Speaker 1: he uses his eyes to move that safety into the
Speaker 1: deep middle. What does that do? It left room for
Speaker 1: the one on one with Philip Dorset against the corner
Speaker 1: on the right side. And so what Trevor Laurs does
Speaker 1: He gets the snap, he drops back and he's staring
Speaker 1: at the safety right down the middle field. He's wanted
Speaker 1: to draw him into the middle of field. He knows
Speaker 1: where he's going. He doesn't need to look over there
Speaker 1: to the right. He wants to make sure that that
Speaker 1: safety is not going to be a factor. Stares him
Speaker 1: down right in the middle, brings him into the middle
Speaker 1: and then turns once he hits his back foot, turns
Speaker 1: the right, sees that okay, he's got a little step
Speaker 1: on him, and he launches the ball to the right
Speaker 1: and he drops it halfway between the numbers and the boundary,
Speaker 1: which is the only place that his wide receiver can
Speaker 1: make a play out of the outstretched arms of the cornerback.
Speaker 1: So a couple of things. One guiding the safety with
Speaker 1: his eyes, and that relates to this helmet thing because
Speaker 1: he's making sure that he moved the safety, but then
Speaker 1: balls placement. It's a great job, I mean, and that's
Speaker 1: what this isn't tonight. On Jaguar's All Access. There was
Speaker 1: another play that he used his eyes also. It was
Speaker 1: the the touchdown to Pharaoh Cooper. Okay, and on that
Speaker 1: play he uses his eyes. He drops back okay, and
Speaker 1: he stares down Farrell Cooper to the left okay, And
Speaker 1: you can see the head turned on the left from
Speaker 1: the end zone view behind Lawrence okay, and the stripe
Speaker 1: is not wearing it okay, but visually, yeah, we're we're
Speaker 1: thinking we're seeing a stripe. He's staring Farrell Cooper down
Speaker 1: the safety actually sees him staring Farrell Cooper down, so
Speaker 1: he actually starts to run up towards that wide receiver.
Speaker 1: And then the corner saw Trevor Lawrence staring down Farrell
Speaker 1: Cooper as well, but he takes his eyes off of
Speaker 1: Trevor immediately because he saw the stair down. Now he's
Speaker 1: looking at the wide receiver. Cooper runs an out route. Okay,
Speaker 1: now Cooper's eyes actually come into play. He turns to
Speaker 1: look back at Trevor Lawrence. When he does, he tries
Speaker 1: to undercut the out route. What happens next the fake
Speaker 1: pump by Trevor Lawrence, which the corner doesn't see. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because Farrell Cooper turns up and it's
Speaker 1: an out and up. It was a total set up him.
Speaker 1: And now the real trick is going to be putting
Speaker 1: that kids size helmet on your head right now. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna do this. Is that possible? No, this this
Speaker 1: will not fin was the last time you wore a helmet?
Speaker 1: I want to we want to see this on Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot com. It was back and when I when I
Speaker 1: wore a helmet JP that which is nineteen since and
Speaker 1: that one you know I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend that
Speaker 1: one for but seriously, and and all joking aside, Yes,
Speaker 1: I've been in the league, okay in some way, shape
Speaker 1: or form since ninety nine, and I've never seen coaches
Speaker 1: use this stripe on a helmet to really work on
Speaker 1: a quarterback's eyes. And I think that that's fantastic. It's
Speaker 1: a great way to teach, and it's a great way
Speaker 1: to teach a young quarterback. Good stuff. We'll come back
Speaker 1: in a moment. The network hour of Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: is coming up next, and this is Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network.
