Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, December nine. This is Jaguars Happy Hours.
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour was presented by Fields Auto Group and
Speaker 1: now newly promoted Triple A middle reliever J. P. Shad Rick.
Speaker 1: I have the Fields Auto Group JP Shadrick with you.
Speaker 1: We have a busy show ahead today as always on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks from NFL Network joins us. John Osier from
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com joins us as well, senior writer for
Speaker 1: the Jags. We'll get a scouts view of Mike Glennon.
Speaker 1: First time out pretty good, last time out wasn't as good.
Speaker 1: He'll get a start this week against Tennessee. Will get
Speaker 1: Bucky's take on that eleven straight losses. Now for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: trying to really play spoiler the rest of the way
Speaker 1: for a lot of these teams fighting for playoff spots,
Speaker 1: the first place Titans among those. They're coming to town
Speaker 1: this Sunday with Derrick Henry and all the rest the
Speaker 1: uniform unveiling. Jimmy Luck will join us at four thirty
Speaker 1: to show off what the Jags will wear at home
Speaker 1: this Sunday, and we'll play big game Jaguar as we
Speaker 1: go into Week fourteen. Of the NFL season, Bucky Brooks,
Speaker 1: John Oser with us now Bucky out in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: What's up, man, Man? Everything is good. It's all good,
Speaker 1: j people. Man. John over there looking very festive, very
Speaker 1: festive in that it's it's John's favorite time of year,
Speaker 1: and he never disappoints with the Christmas decorations. I'll say
Speaker 1: that I love it. Is that an elf on the shelf?
Speaker 1: I think that's an elf on the shelf? But now
Speaker 1: did it move in the last day? It was just
Speaker 1: the whole idea I think is to move the elf
Speaker 1: every day, Right, John, he's dead, JP. He came in. Okay,
Speaker 1: he didn't quite make it to the holidays. Well, let's
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Let's start off speaking of you know,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are struggling right now, obviously eleven straight losses.
Speaker 1: There was a five minute window on Sunday where the
Speaker 1: Jags had a moment where the Jets had the lead
Speaker 1: on the Raiders and then they didn't have the lead
Speaker 1: on the Raiders anymore. And it was right in the
Speaker 1: same time frame of overtime and everything going on with
Speaker 1: the Jags. So there was a lot going on in
Speaker 1: that five minute period. Until the hail Mary and the
Speaker 1: Jets screwed up everything for us. Bucky. I know, I
Speaker 1: know JPN is tough for me because I was sitting
Speaker 1: there watching UM. I had the Jezz game in the
Speaker 1: lower box and I'm watching it like, oh, they may
Speaker 1: give up the number one overall pick. But then I'm
Speaker 1: watching us and we're getting ready to kick off overtime,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm torn because there's a part of me
Speaker 1: that was like, you know, it would be nice to
Speaker 1: have uh an opportunity to get that lottery ticket at
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, but it didn't work out. We'll see, we'll
Speaker 1: see if the jett can stumble upon another win, and
Speaker 1: we're just gonna see how plays out for us. Little
Speaker 1: John at costs the defensive coordinator his job in New
Speaker 1: York this week. Well, I think it had to. I mean,
Speaker 1: I Greg Williams had a lot of success that call. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it is what he is. I've never covered Greg, but
Speaker 1: I've covered Greg's teams enough to know that's what he does.
Speaker 1: He wasn't trying to tank, he wasn't trying to lose.
Speaker 1: I get the conspiracy theories, you know, say hello to
Speaker 1: Tupacket Elvis for me, you know all those things. I
Speaker 1: get what fans are thinking, but that was what he was.
Speaker 1: But you know, after that call, uh, I guess they
Speaker 1: had to make a move. But I mean, I still
Speaker 1: say I was into a JP I haven't. I wasn't
Speaker 1: watching that game. I was watching the jack because that's
Speaker 1: what we do. But I had a score tracker on
Speaker 1: and when the Raiders scored, I was I gotta come on.
Speaker 1: But I'm still not convinced with four games to go,
Speaker 1: that this team is not gonna win again, meaning the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: The last four weeks, they've played three playoff teams where
Speaker 1: you can make an argument that they should have won,
Speaker 1: been in overtime, whatever. This team, I think may play
Speaker 1: its way out of that on its own rather than
Speaker 1: depending on the Jet. Yeah, they're playing hard, Bucky. I
Speaker 1: mean that they're in some close ball games down the
Speaker 1: stretcher just can't finish. No, I just can't finish nothing.
Speaker 1: That's where the talent kind of takes over. Um, you
Speaker 1: can get you can cover a lot of you around
Speaker 1: playing harder than the other team, doing things, hustling and
Speaker 1: and doing all those other things. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, typically the most talented team wins and
Speaker 1: what we're seeing some of these game deciding plays. The
Speaker 1: other guys just more talented than I got right now,
Speaker 1: and I think there's some lesson to be learned. Obviously
Speaker 1: from the season. The team is sticking together. Doug Marone
Speaker 1: does have these guys playing hard, and that's a credit
Speaker 1: and testament to him and his staff. But right now
Speaker 1: just a knots below what you where you need to
Speaker 1: be to compete with some of the top teams in
Speaker 1: the Elite. Let's get to it. Yes, John, I think
Speaker 1: to play into what Bucky said, I completely agree talent
Speaker 1: plays a role at the end. I also think experienced
Speaker 1: talent wins out and the Jaguars have some talent that
Speaker 1: in a year might be making plays to win these games.
Speaker 1: It just strikes me that it's a combination of what
Speaker 1: Bucky said and they're not quite being enough guys who
Speaker 1: have made those plays before in big situations. You hope
Speaker 1: somebody makes one at some point that they can learn
Speaker 1: how that's done. And now I interrupted JP, go ahead
Speaker 1: with the show. No, that's a that's an outstanding point, John,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, because the only way you get
Speaker 1: experience is to go get experience. Let's start with a
Speaker 1: guy who has some experience in the NFL at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon will get to start again this week for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, third week in a row, John, And you
Speaker 1: know the audience first time out was pretty good. Last
Speaker 1: time out, you see it there a couple interceptions lost
Speaker 1: to fumble, sacked for safety in the fourth quarter, and
Speaker 1: he threw that overtime interception that set up the final
Speaker 1: drive for Minnesota to win the game on a field
Speaker 1: goal in the final minutes of overtime. But it's Mike
Speaker 1: Glennon again this week. And I get the feeling, John,
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be Mike Glennon for a little while here,
Speaker 1: if not the whole rest of the way. Well, I
Speaker 1: said when Jake Lewton was playing that he was gonna
Speaker 1: have to have a disastrous game permits you to come back. Well,
Speaker 1: he had the disastrous game against Pittsburgh and they put
Speaker 1: glenn in. I think the same way about Glennon. And
Speaker 1: and you can call Sunday disastrous if you want. The
Speaker 1: overtime interception was disastrous if bumble was disas a stress,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it remotely reached that point, especially
Speaker 1: when you consider that Glennon had a really good drive
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. To me, and I
Speaker 1: want a lot of Bucky's thoughts on this in the show.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna belabor it, but I do think that
Speaker 1: Glennon is doing a lot of things the coaches like,
Speaker 1: particularly taking shots down field, throwing balls beyond the fifteen
Speaker 1: yard range that Frankly Gardner wasn't doing and that was
Speaker 1: why the offense felt constricted. I feel like, no matter
Speaker 1: what the interceptions are, that they like the fact that
Speaker 1: he's taking those shots and has the arm to do it.
Speaker 1: That's my thought on it, But I really want to
Speaker 1: hear BUCkies on Mike Glennon. Yeah, I think there's some
Speaker 1: comfort in Mike Glennon because you, Jake Gruden, um, you're
Speaker 1: trying to win a game. You want someone who can
Speaker 1: basically give you every option at the line of scrimmage. Well,
Speaker 1: Mike Lenny can do that. He's played enough where you
Speaker 1: understands how the man is the game at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. He has a finesse and the composure to
Speaker 1: be able to manage the situations that may pop up
Speaker 1: in the huddle, and frankly, he's played better than the
Speaker 1: other two guys. I know that he melted down a
Speaker 1: little bit at the end of the Jacksonville game, But
Speaker 1: any backup quarterback when you get about forty to forty
Speaker 1: two throws, they're not meant to throw it that much.
Speaker 1: That's why their backup quarterback. And so that's not his thing.
Speaker 1: But the way that he started the first half, the
Speaker 1: way that he was very efficient and effective getting the
Speaker 1: ball to a bunch of different receivers, that's the way
Speaker 1: that this offense wants to look. If Jake Gruden can
Speaker 1: continue to get that kind of effort from Mike Lennon
Speaker 1: and maybe lean on the running game just a little
Speaker 1: bit more, that is a recipe for the Jaguars to win.
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon gives them their best chance of victory, and
Speaker 1: I respect to see him be the starting quarterback the
Speaker 1: rest of the way unless he just has an epic
Speaker 1: meltdown that I just can't foresee happening. Yeah, it would
Speaker 1: take something. Um I mean, I don't even really want
Speaker 1: to speculate one it would take because you just have
Speaker 1: to see it to really know. At that point that
Speaker 1: they really have to make that move again. Part of
Speaker 1: that is the receiver corps as well. And there's been
Speaker 1: a few weeks here where d J Chark has scuffled
Speaker 1: a bit. He was inactive a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: against that Cleveland, but he came back last week. They
Speaker 1: targeted him seven times, but Johnny only had two catches
Speaker 1: in the game, forty one yards. You know, there was
Speaker 1: that sense of frustration early in the year from him
Speaker 1: that we saw when when Minshew was out there as
Speaker 1: the quarterback. This is really early in the season. The
Speaker 1: things just weren't going great for him, and then how
Speaker 1: do they get him back on track down the stretch here?
Speaker 1: John Yet, I don't know it. I didn't sense that
Speaker 1: same level of frustration the other day from DJ and I.
Speaker 1: Doug talked about it today, Doug morn that he's really
Speaker 1: overall handled some tough situations. Well, I think it was
Speaker 1: Doug may Ben J. Everything runs together when you win
Speaker 1: any eleven JP, but cor he talked about how he
Speaker 1: really DJ has handled this well, uh, and that he's
Speaker 1: a very unselfish player. I honestly don't know how to
Speaker 1: get him the ball more because they've been doing that.
Speaker 1: There were games where Minshew was playing and Luton was playing.
Speaker 1: I think there was one number that over a two
Speaker 1: game stretch it was twenty one target. Uh So when
Speaker 1: it was discussed today, there was a feeling that it
Speaker 1: was a lot of different things. Some'm DJ some I'm
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So I'm just not being quite on the
Speaker 1: same page. Uh It's a mystery to me. But the
Speaker 1: scouts take is here for a reason. You know, it's
Speaker 1: funny because dj Um he has seven targets. But sometimes
Speaker 1: when you have a talented player like dj somewhere on
Speaker 1: your call sheet, there's a get the ball the chark.
Speaker 1: Let's make sure that we get him an easy touch,
Speaker 1: whether that's a quick screen, a hitch, an isolated route
Speaker 1: where he can touch the ball. The main thing that
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you do each and
Speaker 1: every week is you keep your number one player engaged,
Speaker 1: because if he goes for a lung straight to knit
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter you need him and he hasn't
Speaker 1: touched the ball at that point, then it becomes a problem.
Speaker 1: He getting he's getting coverage loaded his way, he's getting
Speaker 1: some some things to really eliminate him from the progression.
Speaker 1: But his own Jake Gruden to find a way to
Speaker 1: make sure that he keeps him engaged by making sure
Speaker 1: he gets enough touches each week. You know that that
Speaker 1: window you're talking about John was the two games going
Speaker 1: into the bye week against Detroit and at the Chargers,
Speaker 1: where he had fourteen targets against Detroit seven against the Charges,
Speaker 1: and then after the bye the week after that he
Speaker 1: had twelve targets in that game. So those three games
Speaker 1: combined he only had fifteen catches though, so there was
Speaker 1: a lot of footballs going his way, but they just
Speaker 1: weren't coming in. Now the last couple of weeks, a
Speaker 1: guy who has stepped up at wide receiver to help
Speaker 1: out Glennon has been the rookie Colin Johnson out of
Speaker 1: the University of Texas. We know his height six ft six.
Speaker 1: He said today his last vertical leap that he had
Speaker 1: measured was thirty eight inches, So put that on top
Speaker 1: of six ft six, he can go up and get it.
Speaker 1: And there was some conversation this week that maybe I
Speaker 1: think Doug Morone said this. You know, he's a smart guy.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was just thinking too much. Just go out
Speaker 1: and play and let your size and your ability go
Speaker 1: stand out. And john it feels like this is what
Speaker 1: he's done in the last couple of weeks. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: changed a little bit. I think it's gotten a little less.
Speaker 1: Really really difficult for receivers to adjust. But the Justin
Speaker 1: Jefferson stories in the NFL are rare. It's a hard
Speaker 1: position to adapt to, especially when you remember no preseason games,
Speaker 1: no off season program. Defensive end and wide receiver. I
Speaker 1: thought it would be the two positions that really impacted.
Speaker 1: It feels like that was the case with Colin Johnson.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes during rookie seasons, when I see observers
Speaker 1: and other media get excited about a guy, I sort
Speaker 1: of scoff a little bit and say, well, let's see,
Speaker 1: and this guy really be that good. I gotta be
Speaker 1: honest with you. I'm bought in on Colin Johnson more
Speaker 1: than would be a normal rookie. The talent, the persona
Speaker 1: of this guy. I haven't met him because we're all virtual,
Speaker 1: but everything I've heard and seen from him, he might
Speaker 1: be a true sleeper pick. Usually the sleeper picks don't
Speaker 1: show this much as rookies to make you think it's
Speaker 1: for real. Bucky, I think Colin Johnson might be for real. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think he absolutely is for real. Just to give
Speaker 1: up some backstory on Colin Johnson. Head into his final
Speaker 1: year of Texas, he was rated as one of the
Speaker 1: top wide receivers in the class. There were big expectations
Speaker 1: for him to make a jump. His teammate Devin dubern
Speaker 1: A basically stole his thunder, had over a hundred receptions
Speaker 1: his final year at Texas, and Colin suffered through some
Speaker 1: injuries just to get on the field and couldn't perform
Speaker 1: at a high level. But four four star recruit coming
Speaker 1: out of high school, five star had left had a
Speaker 1: let us is m and leaping ability. All the things
Speaker 1: that we're seeing him do now, that is what he
Speaker 1: did very early in his career in Texas. And so
Speaker 1: sometimes when we talk about a sleeper pick, a guy
Speaker 1: that is picked on day three is not necessarily he
Speaker 1: was picked on day three because he wasn't good. It's
Speaker 1: because something happened during his final year that prevented him
Speaker 1: from showing all of his talents. We're now seeing those
Speaker 1: talents on full display. And I think the Jaguars should
Speaker 1: be excited because when I think about Chark Johnson Chana,
Speaker 1: I think this is a very very solid young wide
Speaker 1: receiver cord that you can build around. Yeahs, I don't
Speaker 1: want to jump the gun. I'm sorry, J. P. Good
Speaker 1: I don't want to jump the gun. But can he
Speaker 1: be a one physically that high? Or is it too well?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think conservatively you say he can be
Speaker 1: a two, but there's no reason why he couldn't be.
Speaker 1: If you think about Courtland's Sutton in Denver, the big
Speaker 1: body playmaker coming from s m U, I think Colin
Speaker 1: Johnson has some similarities and that I think the thing
Speaker 1: that we want to see down the stretch. As he
Speaker 1: continues to make noise, how does he handle when defenses
Speaker 1: really start paying attention to him. Now, in a perfect world,
Speaker 1: maybe you have one A and one B with Johnson
Speaker 1: and Shark, and then maybe China is just your wild
Speaker 1: card playmaker. But really, when you did Jaguars, you have
Speaker 1: to feel good about the three young guys that you've
Speaker 1: been developing. Yeah, that's the thing I think we talked
Speaker 1: about on Monday Nights Jaguars Happy Hour with Crisco and Boselli.
Speaker 1: You know, there's you don't necessarily have to have a
Speaker 1: number one guy. I don't think the Steelers have a
Speaker 1: number one, true number one receiver right now. If you
Speaker 1: have three pretty darn good receivers, you can do some
Speaker 1: things under the offensive side of the ball. Bucky Well,
Speaker 1: I mean we saw that. We saw in Minnesota Adam
Speaker 1: Feeland and Justin Jefferson they alternate responsibilities as the number one.
Speaker 1: Normally that happens. It's a couple of things. Either you
Speaker 1: have a excellent quarterback who is fair embalance when it
Speaker 1: comes to the distribution, or you have a system in
Speaker 1: place that just creates opportunities. Jake Gruden runs a system
Speaker 1: that's very similar to his brothers, and that system can
Speaker 1: create opportunities for you. Got to be elevated as a
Speaker 1: number one. I think he could be the perfect world
Speaker 1: with those two guys being talented and being able to
Speaker 1: kind of stake ownership in a code number one role. Alright, guys,
Speaker 1: let's come back. We'll preview the running back matchup this
Speaker 1: week Derrick Henry, the league's leading rusher, and James Robinson,
Speaker 1: number three on the league's rushing list this year. A
Speaker 1: little later, for thirty, Jimmy Luck will join us as well.
Speaker 1: We'll play big Game Jaguar before the day is done. Also.

Speaker 1: and John o. Osher. The Jags and the division rival
Speaker 1: Titans coming up Sunday at t i A A Bank
Speaker 1: Field at one o'clock kickoff time. The game presented by
Speaker 1: p r I Productions. And you know we did not
Speaker 1: mention James Robinson in the opening segment, so let's get
Speaker 1: to him now. It's a great running back matchup this week.
Speaker 1: James Robinson, of course, the third in the league in
Speaker 1: rushing and just continues to churn out yardage both on
Speaker 1: the ground and through the air. You see his numbers
Speaker 1: there at four point six yard per carry average this year,
Speaker 1: and as we've said on here before, he's always going forward.
Speaker 1: Of the two twelve carries, only twelve are for negative yardage.
Speaker 1: Now he only had one negative rush last week. And
Speaker 1: he's a steel. He's been a steel all year. And John,
Speaker 1: I think you said it earlier in the season. You
Speaker 1: know he's not good for a rookie, He's not good
Speaker 1: for an undrafted player. He's just a good running back
Speaker 1: and he's a guy you can build around for the
Speaker 1: long term. Here it feels like, yeah, I have a
Speaker 1: question for the scout at the end of this, obviously
Speaker 1: because I love kicking Bucky's brain, But to me, what
Speaker 1: Doug said today about James Robinson is the most amazing
Speaker 1: thing about him. The consistency week to week. He has
Speaker 1: never really had a bad game with the Jaguar. He's
Speaker 1: had a few games where he hasn't been as productive
Speaker 1: when early in the season they couldn't quite get to
Speaker 1: him because they were so far behind they didn't quite
Speaker 1: know what he was. But he's never been unproductive and
Speaker 1: at four point six, it's amazing how you can keep
Speaker 1: that thing around four point five when you never have
Speaker 1: any negative What strikes me, and I haven't examine the
Speaker 1: defenses enough to know how right this is, but he's
Speaker 1: having this kind of a year without any breakaway runs,
Speaker 1: so he doesn't pat it with eighty five yard run.
Speaker 1: It's just consistency, and it seems he must be doing
Speaker 1: against stacked defenses at this point, Bucky, that's the question.
Speaker 1: How much our teams stacking and designing things to stop
Speaker 1: him now? And how good has he been against that
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars offensive line. Frankly, he's been good in
Speaker 1: the old line has been good when they've been able
Speaker 1: to run the football. I think the best part of
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense has been their running game and their
Speaker 1: ability to set up some complimentary play passes. James Robinson
Speaker 1: is as good as advertised. He's even better than you
Speaker 1: can imagine as an undrafted free agent when you dig
Speaker 1: into his background, I think what we're seeing is past
Speaker 1: performance does predict future success. He gained nine thousand yards
Speaker 1: in high school, two thousand yards his final season in college.
Speaker 1: He comes to the league, he exceeds all expectations when
Speaker 1: is the starting job before we even get to the field,
Speaker 1: and he has played like a high level pick. And
Speaker 1: so the production has always been there. His ability to
Speaker 1: sense what is needed is beyond his experience and his
Speaker 1: his years in the league. And so when I hear
Speaker 1: twelve negative runs over the course of a season, that's
Speaker 1: remarkable because when you don't lose yardage, it is a
Speaker 1: huge benefit to the offense. It also encourages the offensive
Speaker 1: coordinated to give you the ball more. And his steady
Speaker 1: and consistent production has really been a bright spot to
Speaker 1: this offense. I can't imagine how good he can be
Speaker 1: when you fix some of the offensive line issues and
Speaker 1: surrounded with a quarterback that can consistently make big plays.
Speaker 1: This guy's very, really, really talented, And as he said
Speaker 1: last week, you know, it's the equivalent of a college
Speaker 1: season right now. And I think John we touched on
Speaker 1: this last week too. You know, it doesn't feel like
Speaker 1: he's gonna slow down. I mean, we hear about the
Speaker 1: rookie wall and all that all the time, but with
Speaker 1: this guy and the way he prepares and goes about
Speaker 1: his business, it doesn't feel like that's going to happen
Speaker 1: for him. Well, you wouldn't think. He's only got four
Speaker 1: games left and you haven't seen signs of it yet.
Speaker 1: And I've thrown out the Emmett Smith analogy. I had
Speaker 1: a reader throughout a good one a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: maybe Curtis Martin. These guys who aren't necessarily spectacular, but
Speaker 1: they never seem to take hit so their body doesn't
Speaker 1: wear down. To me, you know, you talk about a
Speaker 1: quarterback having field vision and football sent that's how James
Speaker 1: Robinson runs. He runs like he knows where more defenders
Speaker 1: are then most running backs do, and he's got great
Speaker 1: vision with it. For all those reasons, I don't see
Speaker 1: him slowing down because nothing has been flukey. He doesn't
Speaker 1: have any games where like I'm not knocking Leonard four Nette,
Speaker 1: but some of Fournette's big games with the Jaguars were,
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen yards, fifteen cares for twenty yards and
Speaker 1: then a sixty five yard run. Well, James Robinson doesn't
Speaker 1: have any of that. All of his are eight or seven, six,
Speaker 1: one two. That's consistency, and I don't think you need
Speaker 1: Fluke to do that. I don't see him slowing down now.
Speaker 1: I will say this. You brought up Curtis Morton, which
Speaker 1: I think is a great, uh example of comparison. How
Speaker 1: about I throw out Frank Gore because when you look
Speaker 1: at Frank Gore and you look at their body types,
Speaker 1: they're very very similar. Um. I think he's a more
Speaker 1: natural pass catcher than Curtis Martin. I think that's where
Speaker 1: the Frank Gore comes from. And I'm talking about vintage
Speaker 1: Frank Gore two thousand, uh five, six seven and into
Speaker 1: two thousand's when he's really kind of getting to going.
Speaker 1: I think James Robinson has some of that building. I
Speaker 1: think if you're a decision making as you're building your team,
Speaker 1: I think you feel great about your number once by
Speaker 1: the running back. Now it's about how can we build
Speaker 1: the rest of this offense to make sure that we
Speaker 1: have a running game that highlights and elevates him while
Speaker 1: having a passing game that um elevates and accinuates. Whatever
Speaker 1: the quarterback is able to do, whatever we bring that
Speaker 1: guy in. Alright, we moved from James Robinson to the
Speaker 1: other side of the ball for the Jags last week.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars defense I think played pretty well in general
Speaker 1: in that game. Dalvin Cooked, the second leading rusher in
Speaker 1: the NFL last week, was held to yards. You say,
Speaker 1: held to a hundred twenty yards, but over thirty two
Speaker 1: care he's a three point eight average. They didn't really
Speaker 1: let him break away for any big runs, as longest
Speaker 1: run in the game was twelve yards, and he's a
Speaker 1: guy that can explode on you and go for long distances. Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of guys who can explode and go long distances,
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry comes to town this week and he's the
Speaker 1: league's leading rusher and we know firsthand what can happen
Speaker 1: when he breaks contained, get outside against little guys and
Speaker 1: starts pushing them around with his left and right hand
Speaker 1: and running down the field. That's when he's really dangerous, obviously.
Speaker 1: Uh And and you know, I think earlier in the
Speaker 1: year this was a different defense back in Week two obviously, John,
Speaker 1: But their focused certainly early in the season was to
Speaker 1: slow down the run in general, and then they made
Speaker 1: that a focal point in the Week two game against
Speaker 1: Tennessee and they held him pretty pretty tight in that game,
Speaker 1: carries for eighty four yards. John, Yeah, and it felt
Speaker 1: sort of similar to some other Jaguars games in the
Speaker 1: sense that a conservat effort to stop the run, a
Speaker 1: very good job doing it. And then at the end
Speaker 1: of that game, Henry kind of got some of his
Speaker 1: which he's gonna do. What's concerning about Henry this week?
Speaker 1: To me? With the Jaguars for the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: you've seen a little bit of a pattern which isn't
Speaker 1: surprising against Cleveland good run defense, good run defense, and
Speaker 1: then in the second half it got away from him
Speaker 1: because Cleveland kept doing what they did. Minnesota sort of
Speaker 1: did the same thing ain't stop Dalvin Cook. I don't
Speaker 1: think he was as good against the Jaguars as the
Speaker 1: Browns word in and overtime. The stamina of the Jaguars
Speaker 1: defensive line, the stoutness, sort of gave way. That's why
Speaker 1: it happens when you're thin and not deep enough and
Speaker 1: not stout enough up front of the defensive interior. That
Speaker 1: happened a lot to the Jaguars last year. It feels
Speaker 1: like that's a danger this year because I mean this week,
Speaker 1: Titans aren't gonna stop running Derrick Henry. They're gonna keep
Speaker 1: running and running him and running him. In the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: when that stamina goes down, that's when it could get
Speaker 1: very dangerous against Derrick Henry. He's a very dangerous runner,
Speaker 1: and the best thing that you can do for those
Speaker 1: kind of runners you gotta stop him in their tracks.
Speaker 1: He is a guy that needs a bit of a
Speaker 1: room way to get going. He's a long strider um
Speaker 1: in my day, I would say he's very reminiscent of
Speaker 1: Eddie George, and so you have to attack those guys
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. The worst thing that you
Speaker 1: can do with Derrick Kenny has let him get to
Speaker 1: the second level clean because no one wants to have
Speaker 1: to come up and tackle a two two and fifty
Speaker 1: pounds back over and over and over again. And the
Speaker 1: reason why you see him have so much success in
Speaker 1: the second half. When you run the ball with Derrick Henry,
Speaker 1: it's is similar to fighting a boxer who just wants
Speaker 1: to hit you with a bunch of body blows. And
Speaker 1: in the first half you don't really sense anything. But
Speaker 1: as we get into those later rounds, those body blows
Speaker 1: move you around a little bit. Defensive backs don't want
Speaker 1: to have to tackle the big guy in the third
Speaker 1: and fourth quarter. It is just a physical nightmare. And
Speaker 1: so if you can stop him early, if you can
Speaker 1: get a lead, if you can take that out of
Speaker 1: the equation, that's the best way to thwart the Tennessee Titan. Now.
Speaker 1: Of course, when Derrick Henry runs the ball as effectively
Speaker 1: as he can, that opens up the passing game for
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Ryan Tannehill has been a huge part of
Speaker 1: their success of course this season the way he has
Speaker 1: played at the quarterback position. You see his numbers there,
Speaker 1: he's right on target to jump above three thousand yards
Speaker 1: this week. Uh touchdown interception ratio is fantastic. He's been
Speaker 1: over a hundred rating in eight games this year. But
Speaker 1: it works in tandem, right, guys. I mean, if if
Speaker 1: you have the run game established, you can play action
Speaker 1: off of that. John and Tannehill has a second life
Speaker 1: as a quarterback of the NFL now in Tennessee. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he fits what they do. A. J. Brown is also
Speaker 1: really good. Corey Davis is coming along. They have a
Speaker 1: really good, really tough offense to stop. I think it's
Speaker 1: important not to overlook how good Tanny Hill has been
Speaker 1: at times. It's really not just the Derrick Henry show.
Speaker 1: There have been times where Tanny Hill carries him more
Speaker 1: concerning for the Titans, I think we'll get to this
Speaker 1: in a second. Their defense is not what they hoped
Speaker 1: it would be. It's not a Tennessee defense like you're
Speaker 1: used to seeing that stout, toughness, the great pass rush. Offensively, though,
Speaker 1: if they don't get behind like they did last week,
Speaker 1: once they get ahead, they're brutal to stop because they
Speaker 1: have so many weapons. You can't bunch up on one
Speaker 1: thing against this team. To me, A J. Brown maybe
Speaker 1: one of the more underrated receivers in the NFL. Yeah, Johnny,
Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head. This is a
Speaker 1: very balanced, Uh offense. A J. Brown is terrific. Uh.
Speaker 1: You didn't mention Johnny Smith, But Johnny Smith is another
Speaker 1: fantastic player. And I think the thing that you want
Speaker 1: to watch Ryan Tannehill is outstanding off play action. But
Speaker 1: when he throws off play action, he wants to attack
Speaker 1: the seams. Because the Jaguars have traditionally been a Cover
Speaker 1: three or a single high safety man team. Those seams
Speaker 1: are the first thing that you look for when you're
Speaker 1: facing those defenses. It is important that the second level
Speaker 1: defenders do a great job of playing with eyes and vision.
Speaker 1: They have to cut off those big plays because if
Speaker 1: they can run it and generate the explosive plays, you
Speaker 1: have a tough time of slowing down this Tennessee Titans offense.
Speaker 1: Why we've seen over the years some Tennessee Titans tight
Speaker 1: ends have some big games against this Jaguars team. John
Speaker 1: Smith had two touchdowns in the game back in Week two,
Speaker 1: if you remember, and Smith was inactive last week. I
Speaker 1: think he had a knee issue. We'll see what his
Speaker 1: status is for the game. Moving ahead, Let's come back
Speaker 1: in a moment, we'll touch on the Jaguars defense. Are
Speaker 1: the Titans defense a little bit later, Jimmy Luck schedule
Speaker 1: to join us here in just a moment and we'll
Speaker 1: play big game Jaguar as well. Planning to get to
Speaker 1: and we're about halfway home. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on

Speaker 1: us equipment manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars from t I
Speaker 1: a A bank Field. And let me start off by
Speaker 1: wishing Jimmy Luck happy early birthday. Tomorrow is your thirty
Speaker 1: ninth birthday day, all right right somewhere in the in
Speaker 1: that ballpark, Happy birthday. How will you celebrate, Jimmy? Um?
Speaker 1: Probably just uh going back home, trying to stay kind
Speaker 1: of somewhat uh in the quarantine. Uh. You know, we
Speaker 1: gotta get through the last couple of weeks here, but
Speaker 1: we'll wait till the end of the year then we'll
Speaker 1: get together and celebrate. JP. I'm gonna guess that electric
Speaker 1: smoker is gonna be rolling tomorrow night. My good little
Speaker 1: thing going on there. It depends up what time we
Speaker 1: get out of here. I like that, alright, so oh
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty good. Um, all right, so this is
Speaker 1: my cause my cleats week. All the guys have different
Speaker 1: organ zations that they paint for their cleats to to represent.
Speaker 1: This is the home game for it, so the Jags
Speaker 1: will wear there's this week. How much is the equipment
Speaker 1: staff involved in that? I know Adrian Roka from the
Speaker 1: Foundation has a big hand in this as well. But
Speaker 1: if it involves cleats, it involves you guys too, yeah,
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean Adrian obviously does the heavy lifting.
Speaker 1: This is one of his you know things that foundation does. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it brings a lot of awareness to players,
Speaker 1: foundations and stuff. So Adrill works a lot with the
Speaker 1: players and gets all that done. We basically just make
Speaker 1: sure they've got the shoes that they want and we
Speaker 1: get him to him and you know, he gets with
Speaker 1: the players with what they want on there. Um, we'll
Speaker 1: give him some feedback a little bit from prior years. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we try to help him out by getting
Speaker 1: like a like an all white shoe maybe a little
Speaker 1: easier to paint. Um. But again, you know, like I said,
Speaker 1: he he does all that, and you know, hats off
Speaker 1: to him for getting all that together. So you know,
Speaker 1: this is one where you're coming back home and it's
Speaker 1: December and the weather forecast this week, what are we
Speaker 1: looking at? Should be pretty nice? Um? You know this
Speaker 1: is I guess the at least I feel like some
Speaker 1: of the best times, you know, a little cooler in
Speaker 1: the morning, not too hot in the afternoon. Um. I
Speaker 1: think it's supposed to be around mid seventies. Um, right
Speaker 1: in the middle of the cool front we got now
Speaker 1: and one coming in after but we should be okay,
Speaker 1: maybe a few clouds, um, tiny percent chance of rain,
Speaker 1: but it should be a nice day out there here
Speaker 1: at the bank. I like that. Coming up Sunday, Week fourteen,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans. My clause, my cleats week. Now,
Speaker 1: have you have we gone through every possible combination of
Speaker 1: uniform this year? Or what's left on the on the
Speaker 1: sheet that we haven't got to yet? Um, there's uh,
Speaker 1: I guess we've got one more we haven't we haven't
Speaker 1: done yet that we may get to a little further
Speaker 1: down the road. We hadn't done the white jerseys in
Speaker 1: the teal pants yet. Um, so we we may see
Speaker 1: that at some point soon. I'm not sure yet. There.
Speaker 1: I must say there was a buzz John after last
Speaker 1: week's appearance on the Ear by Jimmy on social media
Speaker 1: about the the whole idea of possible changes in the
Speaker 1: next year too. I mean, I didn't have any tweets
Speaker 1: the rest of the week that blew up like that
Speaker 1: one did, John. That was huge. Well, people like uniforms, man,
Speaker 1: and they like Jenny, but they like what he does.
Speaker 1: I am. I really don't like all the changing uniforms.
Speaker 1: I'm not that guy. I kind of wish just stick
Speaker 1: with it and stick with you. I would. I like
Speaker 1: Alabama's uniforms JP just the old school stuff. But then again,
Speaker 1: I'm old, So I'm fine. Jenny. You keep doing what
Speaker 1: you do. I like you eating people don't. Well, I
Speaker 1: appreciate that, and uh, like I say, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to create a buzz. I just said
Speaker 1: it was, you know, a possibility. I don't know where
Speaker 1: all that stands, but um, you know, well, we've got
Speaker 1: what we got this year, and then whatever happens in
Speaker 1: the offseason, you know happens. Uh, but yeah, we're um,
Speaker 1: you know, this back half of the season wearing black
Speaker 1: at home. So but we'll see what happens in the future.
Speaker 1: He's really back in from really back in from last week.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's okay, all right, let's get to this
Speaker 1: week the Jaguars and the Tennesseeans. I mean, we've got
Speaker 1: to keep the show going for next year and everything,
Speaker 1: so we gotta dangle some carrots. I like that. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know you you bumped the bait a little bit
Speaker 1: and see what bites it makes sense. Hey, let's get
Speaker 1: into this week's game. And what will the Jaguars wear
Speaker 1: this week? Jimmy please? All right? So since we're at home,
Speaker 1: and like I said earlier, we've got the back half
Speaker 1: we're so we're going with the black black jerseys. Colin
Speaker 1: Johnson had a big game last big game, Jack, he did,
Speaker 1: and the players really liked it. So we're gonna roll
Speaker 1: back with the black and black. So they were pretty
Speaker 1: fired up about that last week, So we'll go back
Speaker 1: on black on black. Very nice and yes, it's a
Speaker 1: good choice this week. Colin Johnson last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: has stepped out and played pretty well for the Jags.
Speaker 1: A big threat down the field, big height and the
Speaker 1: leaping ability and everything. So there you have it, black
Speaker 1: on black, Jimmy, Happy early birthday tomorrow. Enjoy the day.
Speaker 1: And they had it black on black. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: you again next week. Jimmy. All right, thanks guys. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Luck joining us head equipment manager. Just want smooth. By
Speaker 1: the way, he had a big game last week as well.

Speaker 1: J P Shadrick, Bucky Brooks, John Oser, thanks to Jimmy
Speaker 1: Luck for joining us. Let's let's touch on the Titans defense.
Speaker 1: We've we we mentioned them in passing John, I know
Speaker 1: you did. This is a group that had uh Jadeveon
Speaker 1: Clowney of course, but he's banged up now. They had
Speaker 1: Vic Beasley as well. They paid what twenty three million dollars,
Speaker 1: Bucky for both those guys and got zero sacks out
Speaker 1: of those guys. What's going on with the defense in Tennessee, Bucky,
Speaker 1: they look at this struck. They're just they have an
Speaker 1: inability to generate pressure. And some of what we saw
Speaker 1: in Cleveland knocking off the Titans had to do with
Speaker 1: um Baker. Mayfield was pressured on only one of thirty
Speaker 1: three dropbacks, and so when you want to Hi you
Speaker 1: put up those numbers, it's because he basically was throwing
Speaker 1: seven on seven. He didn't feel the past rush. They
Speaker 1: don't have the ability to get home, and so this
Speaker 1: is really a great opportunity for Jacksonville to tear it
Speaker 1: out a little bit. The Tennessee Titians have been able
Speaker 1: to mask their defense by being great on offense, controlling
Speaker 1: the clock, using the running game and those things. But
Speaker 1: if you can even the terms and slow down their
Speaker 1: offense and make this defense really have to play, and
Speaker 1: I would say, gotta have a situations. They've proven time
Speaker 1: and time again they do not have the ability to
Speaker 1: get home and that is very problematic for a team
Speaker 1: that is also a little leaky in the back end.
Speaker 1: John That is not good news for a postseason run.
Speaker 1: They're going to get in the playoffs, right, especially in
Speaker 1: the AMC now, and you can do it that way
Speaker 1: outscoring everybody, It's hard to do it that way two
Speaker 1: or three times in a row. I think their last,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, their last in the league in
Speaker 1: third down defense, Well, that goes hand in hand with
Speaker 1: not being ann rush the pastor that's usually a co
Speaker 1: joined stat. If you will. They knew in the off
Speaker 1: season they needed help there. It's why that Beasley Clowney,
Speaker 1: who were both I say reaches, but they were. They
Speaker 1: were concerns about both entering free agency. For us, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't have lasted that long, and Clowney in particular. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how much it will help
Speaker 1: the Jaguars because the Jaguars I don't think they can
Speaker 1: match up score for score against the Titans, but it's
Speaker 1: certainly would standard reason that Glennon should have some more
Speaker 1: time and these receivers should have time to go open
Speaker 1: downfield against this Tennessee pass rush. Alright, guys, it's time
Speaker 1: for big game Jaguar. We play it every week. You
Speaker 1: love it, you can't miss it. You gotta have it.
Speaker 1: Let's get yours, Fucky, what do you have for us? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go out on the limb and
Speaker 1: I'm i gotta surprospect for everybody this week. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with James Robinson. I'm gonna go. I'm saying they
Speaker 1: need to have a big game out of James Robinson.
Speaker 1: And the reason why he needs to show up big
Speaker 1: is because if he is running the effectively, it allows
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to play keep away from a dangerous Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans offense. James Robinson Big game has to have one
Speaker 1: that's a that's a shocker in my book, John, what
Speaker 1: do you got for us? JP? First, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: some other Bucky uh great picks. He's got the Chiefs
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, the Lakers in the NBA Championship.
Speaker 1: So he he's a visionary, is what Bucky is. The
Speaker 1: offices go with the brand names, invest in brand names,
Speaker 1: that's right, and the Yankees in the World Series every year,
Speaker 1: So I believe I went with Colin Johnson j P.
Speaker 1: And Frankly, this isn't that much more out there than Bucky's,
Speaker 1: so I'll take the grief. I think he is a
Speaker 1: guy who is starting to show that he has a
Speaker 1: chance to be productive every week. I'm not saying hundred
Speaker 1: he alreads. He hasn't done that yet, but the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks he has had big plays downfield. He's
Speaker 1: starting to figure out how to do that against this
Speaker 1: pass rush, against this defense. You know, I don't think
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have enough firepower to win it. I do
Speaker 1: think Colin Johnson has enough ability and he's starting to
Speaker 1: peek a little bit. He's gonna have big plays and
Speaker 1: may even get a couple of touchdowns in this game.
Speaker 1: All Right, there you have it. I'm gonna go on
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and considering the way
Speaker 1: this Titans offense can do things to you, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Joe Scholbert, the guy who calls the defense,
Speaker 1: the guy in the middle on the second level. You
Speaker 1: gotta be in the right gaps, of course, and and
Speaker 1: keep Derrick Henry contained and hit him in the backfield
Speaker 1: and do all that so he's responsible for that, and
Speaker 1: then as Bucky, as you said, protect down the seams
Speaker 1: as well. John Smith today, by the way, was limited
Speaker 1: with that knee issue at practice, so we'll see if
Speaker 1: he's back this week for Tennessee. But I'm going Joe
Speaker 1: Schobert because he needs a big game, and this defense
Speaker 1: obviously needs a big game in containing Henry, defending the scene,
Speaker 1: and then you have a big game. Jaguar is in
Speaker 1: the books. James Robinson, Colin Johnson, and Joe Scholbert were
Speaker 1: really dug deep in this episode. Today we're a big
Speaker 1: game Jaguars let's yeah, we did, Bucky, were digging deep.
Speaker 1: We've got what three more of these to go where
Speaker 1: we're gonna dig even deeper down the stretch. I think yes,
Speaker 1: when you're it's okay, we'll take it. Let's finish today's show.
Speaker 1: On a sad note. Our colleague, Mike Perkins works for
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's the director of video for lack
Speaker 1: of a better term, he's the Mr. Everything over on
Speaker 1: the football side. He's been here since day one of
Speaker 1: the organization. His father is Ray Perkins, and Ray passed
Speaker 1: away last night at the age of seventy nine. He
Speaker 1: was what formerly was an end back in the old days,
Speaker 1: wide receiver at the University of Alabama. Then he played
Speaker 1: in the National Football League with the Baltimore Colts under
Speaker 1: Don Shula. He was the head coach of the Giants
Speaker 1: from seventy nine to eighty two. He hired Parcels and
Speaker 1: Belichick about that, then came to Alabama as the head
Speaker 1: coach after Bear Bryant left there to go to Tampa.
Speaker 1: Bay was an offensive coordinator in New England in the
Speaker 1: early nineties. Brown's assistant in ninety nine and two thousand,
Speaker 1: when the franchise came back, but our our condolences to
Speaker 1: the Perkins family. Ray passed away last night. I found
Speaker 1: this in my little collection here from nineteen sixty six,
Speaker 1: the game program for the Alabama LSU game, number eighty eight,
Speaker 1: Ray Perkins on the cover. This was the year that
Speaker 1: Ray was an All America end for Bear Bryant and
Speaker 1: the quarterback was Steve Sloan that year. After before that
Speaker 1: it was Joe Namath, after that it was Kenny Stabler.
Speaker 1: But I just found that interesting. I found it today
Speaker 1: and wanted to show it off on the show. Ray
Speaker 1: Perkins at seventy nine, What a mind he was in football, Bucky,
Speaker 1: absolutely grape mind. Um. To me, he's synonymous with Alabama.
Speaker 1: I think about being a kid watching those Alabama teams. Yes,
Speaker 1: I remember him in the National Football League, and he
Speaker 1: certainly will go down from his time with the Giants
Speaker 1: as a kid watching Lawrence Taylor play there with the Giants. Um,
Speaker 1: it's something to behold. But yeah, great man. Um. My
Speaker 1: heart goes out to Mike and his family on the
Speaker 1: loss of the dead, because that is a devastating loss.
Speaker 1: And and John Perkins, both guys have given their lives
Speaker 1: and families to football. So again, Mike Perkins, great guys,
