Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour is presented by the Saint John's River
Speaker 1: Water Management District and now a guy who claims to

Speaker 2: Chapard and welcome in. It is Jaguars Happy Hour on
Speaker 2: this Thursday, Week sixteen. The Jaguars and the Tampa Bay
Speaker 2: Buccaneers coming up Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, the site Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2: A battle of first place teams or teams tied for
Speaker 2: first place and their respective divisions. Of course, the Jaguars
Speaker 2: are three way tie in the AFC South. They have
Speaker 2: the tiebreakers and lead the way. The Buccaneers one of
Speaker 2: two teams tied at the top of the NFC South.
Speaker 2: The Jags trying to stop a three games slide this
Speaker 2: week on the road, and we'll hear from the head coach,
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson, coming up by a clock in studio with
Speaker 2: us on the Jaguars Radio Network on the Doug Peterson Show.
Speaker 2: That's about an hour away. Jaguars Happy Hour is brought
Speaker 2: to you by the Saint John's River Water Management District,
Speaker 2: Florida's water. It's worth saving. We're on ten to XL
Speaker 2: ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube
Speaker 2: JP Shadrick with Jeff Logman. Good afternoon, Longs. How are
Speaker 2: you afternoon? Is that zucchini bread on the desk? It is?
Speaker 2: I have saved one piece for myself. I'm glad you
Speaker 2: got in there because everybody else was taking it at all. No,
Speaker 2: I know, I know you got that time of year.
Speaker 2: I mean you're bringing in, you know, bake goods like
Speaker 2: there was chili last week. It's like that the weather.
Speaker 2: I didn't make any of it. I'm aware. My my wife, Tara,
Speaker 2: my lovely wife, made it for everybody here, lovely so
Speaker 2: and the zucchini bread is kill. What was that time
Speaker 2: of year? I mean, how many pieces of you have had?
Speaker 2: One and a half far? You didn't say how big
Speaker 2: the one and a half were, buts and how you
Speaker 2: carve it up? I suppose so you had a lot. Well,
Speaker 2: you've had more than I had.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: I know all about it. That's my second piece right there.
Speaker 2: I haven't touched it yet. You know, you can slice
Speaker 2: up a cake a lot of different ways, and you
Speaker 2: can slice up a football team a lot of different ways.
Speaker 2: Right now, this Jaguars team has lost three different weeks
Speaker 2: in a row, and they've done a lot of things
Speaker 2: to do that to themselves. And that's priority number one
Speaker 2: this week once you get on the field. Now, obviously,
Speaker 2: the priority number one before the game gets here is
Speaker 2: the hell of the quarterback? What's going on with Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: He's still in the protocol, was not out of the
Speaker 2: practice field today. Let's see what happens moving ahead. But
Speaker 2: this is one you're looking out for every single day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, obviously, the protocol, the concussion protocol
Speaker 2: is I don't want to say it's secretive, but it's
Speaker 2: very private, and so we're not gonna know until there
Speaker 2: is news to announce. We're not gonna get an update
Speaker 2: on where he's at, what he's doing, or anything of
Speaker 2: that nature. So we just got to kind of wait
Speaker 2: and see. And I think that pulls a little bit
Speaker 2: of a question mark into if you're the head coach,
Speaker 2: what do you do if you're if you have a
Speaker 2: player starting quarterback in the concussion protocol and he doesn't
Speaker 2: practice Wednesday, he doesn't practice Thursday, and then if he
Speaker 2: practices Friday, or if he doesn't practice Friday, but they'll
Speaker 2: say he doesn't practice Friday, gets cleared on Saturday. What
Speaker 2: do you do? You know? I think it's a great question. Well,
Speaker 2: I think part of the return to play protocol is
Speaker 2: that you have to be on the field at some point.
Speaker 2: Well you have to be on the field at something
Speaker 2: that would be able to make sure that you know
Speaker 2: things are okay. You know. Does he get on the
Speaker 2: field tomorrow? I don't know. I think he probably has
Speaker 2: to to be qualified if he's going to play, that's right.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's only been one player in
Speaker 2: the National Football League this year who win in the
Speaker 2: concussion protocol following a game and then played the next week,
Speaker 2: I believe, And I think that'll Brock Party, Yeah, San Francisco.
Speaker 2: So it's not like it happens very often. And then
Speaker 2: also you have a height and awareness a little bit
Speaker 2: just because of what's going on with CJ. Stroud, who
Speaker 2: looks like he's going to be missing his second consecutive game.
Speaker 2: It was reported that he may have had a concussion
Speaker 2: prior to the one that he sustained week and a
Speaker 2: half ago, So what are the optics of that, you know?
Speaker 2: And I think that always plays into some of the
Speaker 2: things that happened in the National Football League when you're
Speaker 2: dealing with high profile positions like the quarterback. So don't
Speaker 2: know what's going to happen with that. But the reality
Speaker 2: is that, let's say whoever's playing quarterback, Now, you've got
Speaker 2: a different wide receiving corps. You know Jay Jones, Yeah,
Speaker 2: is clearly hampered by hamstring. Wasn't able to finish the
Speaker 2: game the other day. I would be shocked if he's
Speaker 2: able to go. I haven't seen him out there in
Speaker 2: the little media time we've been out there this week,
Speaker 2: so he probably will not play. I'm guessing there. And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, no, Christian Kirk knows a Jones.
Speaker 2: Those are two of your most trusted receiving options for
Speaker 2: your quarterback, and that really for any quarterbacks. Now, who's next?
Speaker 2: Tim Jones, Parker Washington Parker Washington, Well, he has already
Speaker 2: been up because of Christian Kirk. So now is it
Speaker 2: Elijah Cooks? Is it more of a role for Jamal
Speaker 2: Agnew who had a wonderful game by the way this
Speaker 2: past week. I mean, do you lean more on Evan
Speaker 2: in the outside kind of route game. Where's Brenton Strange
Speaker 2: at Yeah, he's been injured as well, so yeah, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of questions. And the one good thing about
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers they seem to have the same
Speaker 2: kind of problem at home that the Jaguars have had.
Speaker 2: Now they're five hundred at home, but their output hasn't
Speaker 2: been particularly strong as an offense when they've been at home,
Speaker 2: So hopefully Baker Mayfield is a little off the market
Speaker 2: home once again compared to what he has been on
Speaker 2: the road. And obviously this past game he was lights
Speaker 2: out in Green Bay. The only the only opposing quarterback
Speaker 2: to ever go in there and to have a perfect
Speaker 2: quarterback rating. Aaron Rodgers had one or two of them,
Speaker 2: I think while he was there and watching the film.
Speaker 2: He was really good. I mean, quick, decisive, threw the
Speaker 2: ball in some incredibly tight windows. But it's took on
Speaker 2: me be a good football game. Now they won three
Speaker 2: in a row, they're the four seed in the NFC,
Speaker 2: leading their division, and got New Orleans nipping at their heels. Okay,
Speaker 2: the Jaguars, same kind of deal number four in the
Speaker 2: conference leading their division with Indy and Houston nipping at
Speaker 2: their heels. I mean, if you're looking at games to
Speaker 2: watch with a lot at steak, I mean, besides watching
Speaker 2: San Francisco and Baltimore, which is a tremendous game this week,
Speaker 2: it's important Christmas Night, I believe. I think the one
Speaker 2: of the big games of the weekend is gonna be
Speaker 2: Jaguars Tampa. I mean not from a national standpoint, but
Speaker 2: from a the meaning of the game and the impact
Speaker 2: that it has in the playoff race in each conference.
Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, Ravens Niners. Is Christmas Night the last
Speaker 2: game on Monday Night, but three games on Christmas Day
Speaker 2: that would sting plan on Christmas Day. But boy, that's
Speaker 2: what what does we come the the NBA? Now, I
Speaker 2: thought the NBA will be I think they have six
Speaker 2: games on Christmas Day and the Radians are going to
Speaker 2: be pro. But because the NFL is now on Christmas Day, sorry,
Speaker 2: NBA move over a little bit. They certainly have so,
Speaker 2: especially since it's been on a weekend the last or
Speaker 2: around a weekend the last couple of Yeah, but not
Speaker 2: on a weekend that's Monday. Yeah, it's either way, the
Speaker 2: Jaguars trying to get back on track and do it
Speaker 2: on the road and the offense trying to find their
Speaker 2: way around the quarterback thing this week? How different would
Speaker 2: it feel if Bethard is actually out there? We've asked
Speaker 2: this a couple of times this year, right with the
Speaker 2: knee injury going to the Thursday night and Trevor was
Speaker 2: a game time decision at the Superdome, decided to play,
Speaker 2: was the leading rusher then and Cleveland a couple weeks
Speaker 2: ago high ankle sprain and that felt better toward the
Speaker 2: end of the week actually, and then he went out there.
Speaker 2: They did the kind of the game day thing, but
Speaker 2: he was going to play, and he played. And so
Speaker 2: this is different though because it's above the shoulders. So
Speaker 2: how different though, would it be if Bethard is called
Speaker 2: upon to finally play? Well? Very different here here's the
Speaker 2: one thing though, I don't think anything changes or would
Speaker 2: change with the offense. You know, interesting CJ had his
Speaker 2: press conference yesterday because you know, they typically have coach
Speaker 2: quarterback on a Wednesday, and since Trevor is unavailable, CJ
Speaker 2: ended up doing that and he talked and talked openly
Speaker 2: about how Trevor and him like a lot of the
Speaker 2: same things, which means to me that you're not going
Speaker 2: to have to change the offense for a CJ. Bethert.
Speaker 2: You're going to run it as you would normally run it.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what you want in a backup. You
Speaker 2: don't want to have a backup that has a wildly
Speaker 2: different style or way of playing that position because you
Speaker 2: don't want to change the whole offense if need be.
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't have time to do that if
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you have an injury during a game.
Speaker 2: So CJ and Trevor are kind of in aligned is
Speaker 2: what they like, what they like to do, and what
Speaker 2: they can do. So that's a positive from that standpoint.
Speaker 2: The question mark that I have is that, you know,
Speaker 2: where's the team's mindset. You know, if all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: now this week, okay, CJ's taking all the reps and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Trevor, all of a sudden can play,
Speaker 2: what does that do to the football team. We saw
Speaker 2: that kind of happen at Cleveland, and the team didn't
Speaker 2: exactly come out on fire. They didn't rally around Trevor
Speaker 2: in that game. If he plays in this game, Okay,
Speaker 2: and that's a big if. If he plays in this game,
Speaker 2: that offensive line had better have one hell of a game.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, because if your quarterback was in
Speaker 2: a concussion protocol, you better block your rear end off
Speaker 2: and you better find a way to take pressure off
Speaker 2: of him from having to be the man because right now, now,
Speaker 2: this offense is very Trevor centric, and there really is
Speaker 2: not anything taking pressure off of him in this offense
Speaker 2: right now because of the offenses inability to run the
Speaker 2: football effectively for a number of weeks. Now, Jaguars Happy

Speaker 2: ten to XL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com,
Speaker 2: Jaguars YouTube. And to that offensive line, you know, it's
Speaker 2: been on the left side, especially as of late, a
Speaker 2: little bit of a revolving door, some guys coming and
Speaker 2: going out of the lineup, and you know, moving ahead, now,
Speaker 2: the status of that left side how'd they come out
Speaker 2: of last week's game. I think they came out Okay.
Speaker 2: I give gold stars to Walker Little and those clan. Yeah,
Speaker 2: gold stars, Yeah, gold stars for them, because they got it.
Speaker 2: They goted it out. I mean clearly. When you watch
Speaker 2: the film, you could see many times because you know,
Speaker 2: when you watch a game live, your eyes are following
Speaker 2: the ball, so you're not watching a lot of other
Speaker 2: parts of the of the game. When you go back
Speaker 2: and you watch it on the film and you sit
Speaker 2: there and you review it, and you watch a lot
Speaker 2: of the players and individual performances, then you get to
Speaker 2: see where Walker Little clearly was not one hundred percent
Speaker 2: Ezra was clearly not one hundred percent to where they
Speaker 2: were at times limping to get to the huddle for
Speaker 2: the next play. So give them credit. They toughed it out,
Speaker 2: they fought through it and you know, try to help
Speaker 2: this team get a win and didn't get to win.
Speaker 2: But these guys got it out. So I think this
Speaker 2: week they'll be a little bit better and then next
Speaker 2: week you possibly get Cam Robinson back. Right, So now
Speaker 2: the window opens, I think it can you know, if
Speaker 2: it happens, So there's a possibility there of getting a
Speaker 2: little bit more healthy. But give them credit and then
Speaker 2: I think they'll be better this week. But this week
Speaker 2: presents its own set of challenges. And you hope that
Speaker 2: Ezra's better this week, and you hope that you get
Speaker 2: a better performance out of your center fortner because Videvea
Speaker 2: for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a big dude, three
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty pounds of man, and he's arguably the
Speaker 2: best nose tackle in football. Seriously, he's arguably the best
Speaker 2: tackle nose tackle in football. He's only six four, three
Speaker 2: forty seven logs. The only thing that's that, if there's
Speaker 2: one saving grace about Vitavea, his stamina is not of
Speaker 2: of the nature that he plays every down. He's not
Speaker 2: playing one hundred percent of the defensive snaps, is what
Speaker 2: you're saying. No, at three hundred and fifty pounds every
Speaker 2: now and again, he's got to come off and get
Speaker 2: some oxygen and get some water, you know. So he
Speaker 2: doesn't play one hundred percent of the downs. If he did,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, And if he had the stamina, he'd
Speaker 2: be a he'd be a train wreck. But fortunately he
Speaker 2: doesn't play every game. But you gotta block that guy
Speaker 2: first and four interior. Yeah, he's an interior guy. Who's
Speaker 2: he lining up over Now he's guards and guards and center. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's where he he's going to be out and he's
Speaker 2: incredibly strong when he decides to throw people. He's a
Speaker 2: man among boys. That's Travis Eazi and Jr. What stood
Speaker 2: out about the the Bucks defense, especially in the front
Speaker 2: seventh that's the first thing you said, Vita Vella. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's big, stands out in a big way. He's big. Now,
Speaker 2: they're not great on because they run kind of a
Speaker 2: three to four system. The ends are not great. One
Speaker 2: of them's a first round pick, Klajah Cansi from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: I think they try to capture a little bit of
Speaker 2: Aaron Aaron Donald lightning in a bottle, okay, And and
Speaker 2: he's okay, he's a solid player, but he's young, you know,
Speaker 2: and the rest of the guys are kind of just
Speaker 2: guys a little bit. You know. The outside linebackers are
Speaker 2: pretty good. Shaq Barrett's been a good player for a while.
Speaker 2: He's not having a great year, but he's had great
Speaker 2: years in the past, and he can have a great
Speaker 2: game at any minute. And then they've got a former
Speaker 2: first round pick from twenty twenty one and Joe try
Speaker 2: and show Yinka and uh Yaya di Albia. Did I
Speaker 2: say that right? Yaya di Alby? I don't know if
Speaker 2: I pronounced that correctly. Their third round pick out of
Speaker 2: Louisville has been playing quite a bit. But the aubib yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean they're okay up front, I mean outside of Vidavella.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: The one other position that they're extremely talented is safety
Speaker 2: Antoine Winfield. He's arguably one of the top three or
Speaker 2: four safeties in the National Football League. He can do
Speaker 2: a lot of different things. Let me give you his
Speaker 2: stat line, which is pretty amazing. I don't know the
Speaker 2: number of tackles, you can probably pull that up, but
Speaker 2: as a safety he has three forced fumble, three fumble recoveries,
Speaker 2: five force fumbles, two interceptions, and four sacks as a safety.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's incredible numbers. So he's a challenging guy.
Speaker 2: And whoever's playing quarterback better know where number thirty one is.
Speaker 2: It's one Winfield with one hundred and seven total tackles.
Speaker 2: Where's he had on the team righting the team leads
Speaker 2: the team's en that's what I figured. Everywhere he's a stud.
Speaker 2: He's everywhere, So I mean two studs, you know. And
Speaker 2: then you've got the veteran guy at linebacker who and
Speaker 2: want to say, veteran guy, Levante David twelve years in
Speaker 2: the National Football League. He if you look at his stats,
Speaker 2: I mean, I know was looking at the Tampa Bay
Speaker 2: Press release. His stats are comparable to those that are
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. I mean, his numbers are incredible,
Speaker 2: and he's been a high level player for a long time.
Speaker 2: He's an excellent player as far as making tackle for losses.
Speaker 2: So there's a great player at all three levels. Lante
Speaker 2: Dave is not what he was, but he's still pretty
Speaker 2: close to it. Putting ahead, we've got to get into
Speaker 2: this Jaguars defense of the matchup against the Buccaneers offense.
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans, possible Hall of Famer, the wide receiver,
Speaker 2: shoot Roller Skits. Oh okay, we'll get to him coming
Speaker 2: up in a moment. We're on ten toon XL ninety
Speaker 2: two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube. Coming
Speaker 2: up at four thirty, Kay Stevens in studio with us.
Speaker 2: Then at five o'clock the Doug Peterson we'll have the
Speaker 2: head coach in studio ahead of Week sixteen. Jaguars Happy
Speaker 2: Hour is brought to you by the Saint John's River
Speaker 2: Water Management District, Florida's Water. It's worth saving.
Speaker 4: He's gotten better as the season's gone on, some of
Speaker 4: his you know, statistical numbers. He's getting the ball out
Speaker 4: of his hand extremely fast. It does slow down pass
Speaker 4: rush when you can do that, you know, especially in
Speaker 4: the third and short medium range. And you know he's
Speaker 4: he's trusting his guys you know, down the field and
Speaker 4: they're making plays for him. So and he's not turning
Speaker 4: the ball over, you know.
Speaker 2: So all those things are in his favor and are
Speaker 2: helping and he's playing playing good. That's the head coach
Speaker 2: of course. Doug Peterson on Wednesday and discussing Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 2: quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Welcome back. It's Jaguars
Speaker 2: Happy Hour, brought to you by the Saint John's River
Speaker 2: Water Management District, Florida's Water. It's worth saving. JP Shadrick
Speaker 2: flog him. Week sixteen Jaguars Buccaneers, Raymond James Stadium, Tampa
Speaker 2: down On Dale Mabury and it'll be a four h
Speaker 2: five kick. We'll be on the air in Jacksonville with
Speaker 2: the public's tailgate show at one o'clock and then three
Speaker 2: o'clock countdown to kickoff on the Jaguars Radio Network ahead
Speaker 2: of this battle of first place teams in the AFC
Speaker 2: and NFC South divisions. And Baker Mayfield, as you referenced
Speaker 2: earlier logs, a great performance last time, well so great.
Speaker 2: It was perfect, a perfect passer rating and only the
Speaker 2: third time in the NFL this year that a quarterback
Speaker 2: has posted a perfect passer rating in a game, and
Speaker 2: Baker's the latest to do that. And you know he's
Speaker 2: been around for a minute now. Twenty eighteen first overall
Speaker 2: pick well, and he had he had one heck of
Speaker 2: a year and twenty eighteen as a rookie, and I
Speaker 2: remember kind of when he got on the scene in
Speaker 2: the NFL, everybody's like wow, I mean, because he did.
Speaker 2: He had a really impressive rookie year through a little
Speaker 2: bit too many interceptions that year, but then the next
Speaker 2: year was kind of okay, and then twenty twenty he
Speaker 2: had a heck of a year, led the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 2: to double digit Wins was arguably his best year as
Speaker 2: a pro until this year, and this year he's doing
Speaker 2: a pretty good job and he's got two excellent wide
Speaker 2: receivers to throw the ball too. I'd say we were
Speaker 2: talking earlier before we came on the show, and we
Speaker 2: were like, all right, what's the best tandems in the
Speaker 2: National Football League as far as receivers go, you know,
Speaker 2: And the first one that came to your mind was
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddell. Yeah, Miami, which I think
Speaker 2: those two guys are the best, hands down. And then
Speaker 2: up in Philadelphia you have the Slim Reaper and AJ Brown,
Speaker 2: two pretty good receivers. I'd take those guys, sure, but
Speaker 2: these two guys and Mike Evans and Godwin are really good.
Speaker 2: This past game, Godwin had over one hundred yards receiving
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty five to be exact, on ten catches.
Speaker 2: Mike Evans had four for fifty seven and a touchdown.
Speaker 2: And Evans, I said before the break going into the
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame on roller skates, I mean, this guy's
Speaker 2: had ten consecutive thousand yard seasons. The next closest god
Speaker 2: have the highest number is I think Randy Moss with
Speaker 2: six consecutive thousand yard seasons, which is unbelievable. It is
Speaker 2: so every year in the league he's had a thousand
Speaker 2: yard season. So think about this, he's got a double
Speaker 2: that to reach Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice had twenty two thousand,
Speaker 2: eight hundred yards and Mike Evans has eleven thousand and change,
Speaker 2: which is amazing. How many years total did Jerry place,
Speaker 2: oh forever, I mean eighty five to four, twenty years.
Speaker 2: How many consecutive thousand yard seasons did he have? Let's
Speaker 2: look there, you gotta pull that. I got it right here.
Speaker 2: I got it right here. He got it by we're looking,
Speaker 2: we're looking, we're digging, because I don't think he had
Speaker 2: he didn't have ten, three, four, five, knee, eight, nine, ten,
Speaker 2: eleven at one point, but not gonna start his career,
Speaker 2: he had eleven in a row, but his rookie year
Speaker 2: he had just under like seventy yards early. Then he
Speaker 2: had eleven straight. Then he had the knee injury ninety seven,
Speaker 2: then another we had three more after that, which is amazing.
Speaker 2: Thirteen what a fourteen total in his career and how
Speaker 2: many years total did he play? Twenty seasons? So twenty
Speaker 2: seasons and thirteen of them or thousand yard receivedeen, Yeah, tremendous.
Speaker 2: And how many touchdowns did Jerry have after ten years?
Speaker 2: Just out of curiosity? I know you got to add
Speaker 2: it up because Mike Evans right now has ninety two
Speaker 2: touchdowns receiving, okay, and he's in a tie right now
Speaker 2: at twelfth place, And so if he gets one more
Speaker 2: receiving touchdown, he's gonna end up with sole possession of
Speaker 2: twelfth place all time and receiving touchdowns, which is I mean,
Speaker 2: this guy's not even done yet. I mean I don't
Speaker 2: see him slowing down for another four or five years
Speaker 2: because he's still got the gifts. I mean, he's a
Speaker 2: big wide receiver, a big tark, got great range, he's
Speaker 2: got good speed. He's not that phenomenal speed, but he's
Speaker 2: got good speed for a big man. So Jerry Rice
Speaker 2: had one hundred ninety seven career touchdowns right in twenty years,
Speaker 2: and sixty six of those came after year ten, year
Speaker 2: eleven or later in his career sixty six. So what
Speaker 2: did he have in years one through ten? So one
Speaker 2: ninety seven minus sixty six, Okay, So he had one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty something. That's pretty good. He's stud the
Speaker 2: greatest receiver of all time. But I mean we're not
Speaker 2: comparing these two. Just the numbers are interesting to look
Speaker 2: at that Jerry's the greatest of all time, but Mike
Speaker 2: Evans in a ten year span is put in fantastic
Speaker 2: something we really had. And how many different quarterbacks I mean,
Speaker 2: think about it now, Jerry Rice had two Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame quarterbacks thrown on the ball. What has Mike Evans
Speaker 2: had in his career throwing him? He said, Jamis Winston
Speaker 2: he's had. He had Tom Brady couple of years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean they've been rotating three years, two years. He
Speaker 2: was in two years just rotating three guys. But who
Speaker 2: was before that? I mean it's like, huh, yeah, I
Speaker 2: didn't have a whole lot of great quarterback play. I
Speaker 2: mean because obviously, I mean Tampa was struggling to try
Speaker 2: to figure out who's going to play quarterback for many years.
Speaker 2: So I mean that's has a lot to do with it.
Speaker 2: But he's he's a tremendous player. And look, the Jaguars
Speaker 2: are a little beat up in secondary. You know, they're
Speaker 2: quote getting healthier because there's maybe gonna be some guys
Speaker 2: coming back. It looks like Tyson Campbell could play, Cisco
Speaker 2: could play, But the last time we saw Tyson Campbell
Speaker 2: he didn't play all that Well. I'll buy you a
Speaker 2: bottle of water if you can name the first regular
Speaker 2: starting quarterback for Mike Evans in the NFL with Tampa
Speaker 2: Bay twenty fourteen. Twenty fourteen, his first regular starting quarterback,
Speaker 2: the quarterback he started the most games that year for
Speaker 2: the Bucks twenty fourteen. I have no idea. Josh McCown
Speaker 2: started Kevin games that year. He was a one in
Speaker 2: ten starter that season. By Glennon started the other five
Speaker 2: games for Tampa Bay? Who else did he have playing quarterback? From?
Speaker 2: Is there list? I gotta go? It would be it
Speaker 2: would be amazing to see exactly how many different quarterbacks
Speaker 2: it took him to get to where he's at. I mean,
Speaker 2: the list would be very long, I'm sure. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean we only have an hour exactly. I mean we
Speaker 2: need more time for that. Might take a little while
Speaker 2: to figure that out, but I mean the twenty fifteen
Speaker 2: Jamis came in, so that was the next what four
Speaker 2: years at least? Maybe yeah, four years ish? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: and then you're getting close to Tom Brady time so
Speaker 2: well ten years now seventeen. I mean, if you got
Speaker 2: one year with McCown, fourteen and then four Jamis was,
Speaker 2: you got another three years to figure out. You know,
Speaker 2: I have no I I can't even remember who it was.
Speaker 2: A quarterback in Jamis Was through nineteen and twenty was
Speaker 2: when Tom Brady came in because there the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, right, well yeah tom Brady in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: All right, so there you go. So you got to
Speaker 2: cover that this week. He's good. How do you cover it?
Speaker 2: I mean I think do you put your best guy on?
Speaker 2: Here's the herd. Here's the hard part is that do
Speaker 2: you double him? Because if you double him, then that
Speaker 2: means you're you're not going to be able to have
Speaker 2: as much attention on Godwin. And if you look at
Speaker 2: the number as Godwin is right up there with receptions
Speaker 2: as the big man is. So what do you do?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's gonna be Look, Darius Williams
Speaker 2: has to play really well, Tyson Campbell, do you do
Speaker 2: you help him just because he hasn't played, you know,
Speaker 2: put safety over the top with him. That's not the
Speaker 2: way you've played with him in the past, but are
Speaker 2: you are you thinking about that now just because he
Speaker 2: the last time you saw him, he didn't play great.
Speaker 2: He was hampered a little bit because he had a
Speaker 2: hamstring and then now recently a quad. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: that that's going to be interesting. And how do you
Speaker 2: how do you play the bucks? I mean, because you
Speaker 2: can't get overly aggressive because if you get aggressive, then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're depleting your coverage to get
Speaker 2: aggressive after Baker Mayfield. But then you can get to him,
Speaker 2: you know, because Baker Mayfield will hold the ball. But
Speaker 2: I think the interesting thing to me, and one of
Speaker 2: the tough matchups is Josh Allen versus Worse their left tackle. Okay,
Speaker 2: because right now Josh has been the main source of
Speaker 2: pressure and Trayvon had a solid game this past week.
Speaker 2: But this game you because I think Worse and Josh
Speaker 2: Allen is kind of like two great players that are
Speaker 2: going to negate each other. I think you'll end up
Speaker 2: having maybe a couple wins by Josh, But I think
Speaker 2: Worse is going to be able to do well against Josh,
Speaker 2: and I hope Josh can end up beating them a
Speaker 2: few times because to have a great game as a
Speaker 2: pass rusher. All you need is one or two right,
Speaker 2: one or two. Yeah, doesn't have to be every play,
Speaker 2: But somebody else's sound like a tackle right now, a
Speaker 2: left tackle. Somebody else has got to step up. What's specific.
Speaker 2: Always say, yeah, you can play good for sixty eight plays,
Speaker 2: but the sixty ninth and seventy, if you give up
Speaker 2: a sack, it's a bad game. That's right. That's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Josh got to find a way to find
Speaker 2: two plays, find two plays against Worse. You know, Worse
Speaker 2: was that right tackle for longest time, and I think
Speaker 2: it was Donovan Smith, who's now in Kansas City, was
Speaker 2: the left tackle. Worse, who was a first round pick
Speaker 2: out of Iowa, I believe, moved over to the left
Speaker 2: side this year. This is his first year at left tackle,
Speaker 2: but that was his natural position. He's an excellent football player,
Speaker 2: and he's a big man. Big man, has got really
Speaker 2: good feet. They listed him at sixty five three twenty.
Speaker 2: I would venture to guess he's more than three twenty.
Speaker 2: I think that's one of those that's where we would
Speaker 2: like to have him at. But he's a little bit
Speaker 2: bigger than that. He's wherever he wants to be. You
Speaker 2: always see that though with the height weight listings where
Speaker 2: the team posts a certain number and a lot of
Speaker 2: times that's the number. That the optimum number. We'd like
Speaker 2: him to be three twenty, but he's walking around. He
Speaker 2: just ate five biscuits and you know, anyways, three forty
Speaker 2: or yeah. I love the story. I think Daniel Jeremiah
Speaker 2: tells the story. NFL Network obviously analysts and it was
Speaker 2: a scout before that worked his way up in that
Speaker 2: side of the business, and he used to work for
Speaker 2: the Ravens, right, So he was the guy, Daniel Jeremiah
Speaker 2: who would have to record weights on the sheet every
Speaker 2: day in the locker room. Ray Lewis would come in
Speaker 2: and Ray would say, I'm two fifty whatever, and without
Speaker 2: getting on the scale of course not of course, and
Speaker 2: of course Daniel just ride it right down there. It
Speaker 2: is because you got to question ray Lewis, No, I
Speaker 2: don't think so I'm not. No, I don't think many
Speaker 2: people in that locker room would either. So we literally
Speaker 2: we I mean we had people throughout my career to
Speaker 2: where that was their job. They literally would make everybody
Speaker 2: go to the scale at certain times like weekly wayh ins.
Speaker 2: They had weekly way ins because there was a lot
Speaker 2: of bonus money that rided on what the number said
Speaker 2: at scale, Yes, sir, And some guys lost money, Okay,
Speaker 2: lost lost a lot of money because they couldn't they
Speaker 2: couldn't push back from the table. Okay, some of them
Speaker 2: like to eat a little bit too much. And then
Speaker 2: in training camp they would monitor your weight just from
Speaker 2: a health and wellness standpoint. Yeah, because you had grueling
Speaker 2: training camps much more so than what they are today,
Speaker 2: and they were always worried about the players getting dehydrated
Speaker 2: and getting dangerously low as far as their weight goes,
Speaker 2: you know, because all of a sudden, if you had
Speaker 2: a guy that lost six pounds and one practice. In
Speaker 2: the next practice, he weighs in after that practice, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, now he's down five from the
Speaker 2: previous way in, but he only you know, he didn't
Speaker 2: get it all back on. Now you're talking about a
Speaker 2: health risk. So a lot of times they would have
Speaker 2: that required person that would monitor the weights in training
Speaker 2: camp and then also for the weekly weigh ends plenty ahead.
Speaker 2: Kay Stevens joins us in studio Jaguars reporter when we
Speaker 2: return and then at five o'clock the Doug Peterson Show,
Speaker 2: we'll hear from the Jags head coach in the studio
Speaker 2: with us ahead of Week sixteen, the Jaguars and the
Speaker 2: Buccaneers coming off. Jaguars Happy Hour is brought to you
Speaker 2: by the Saint John Water Management District, Florida's water. It's
Speaker 2: worth saving.
Speaker 5: A lot of practice head that I think, you know,
Speaker 5: whether it's here or where you know, where I used
Speaker 5: to be. I think the mindset as being my seventh
Speaker 5: year in the league, it's just got a lot of experience.
Speaker 5: Even even the games where you know the starter isn't
Speaker 5: banged up or whatever, just prepairing like you know you
Speaker 5: might have to go into the game, that's just kind
Speaker 5: of what you have to do. So at this point,
Speaker 5: it's really just just a mindset, and you know, I
Speaker 5: feel like this year I've actually, you know, you got
Speaker 5: to you got to practice a lot more than years
Speaker 5: past as far as with the with the starters. You know,
Speaker 5: when Trev has missed a couple of practice here or there,
Speaker 5: and it's so it's only you know, benefit of me
Speaker 5: and helped me in the long run of just getting
Speaker 5: the rest with certain guys and that kind of stuff. C. J.
Speaker 2: Bethar Jaguars backup quarterback at the podium earlier this week.
Speaker 2: We'll see if he has to go out there on
Speaker 2: Sunday in Tampa and welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour,
Speaker 2: brought to you by the Saint John's River Water Management District,
Speaker 2: Florida's water It's worth saving. JP Shadwick, Jeff Logman. We're
Speaker 2: at the Hyundai studios at the Miller Electric Center on
Speaker 2: ten ten XL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com,
Speaker 2: Jaguars YouTube, and Kyle Stevens is with us in studio.
Speaker 3: Now, good afternoon, Kai, Hello gentlemen, good to see you.
Speaker 2: He always good to see you as well. Thanks for
Speaker 2: swinging in today. And that's the backup quarterback. The next
Speaker 2: trick is what's next with the starting quarterback who's in
Speaker 2: congussion protocol and you know he wasn't out there again today,
Speaker 2: So let's see Tomor's a big day, I think, to
Speaker 2: see if he's gonna.
Speaker 3: Be ready to roll or not if he ever, If
Speaker 3: hes ever, when he clears the protocol, he will play.
Speaker 3: I think even if that's you know, Friday, Saturday, they'll
Speaker 3: play him if he's available. But this one feels a
Speaker 3: little bit different, like when you talk to him in
Speaker 3: the locker room, it's a different vibe. It's very like,
Speaker 3: you know, compared to like when he heard his knee
Speaker 3: or his ankle. Right, I think everybody's like, oh, Trevor
Speaker 3: will play, but this one's not up to him. So
Speaker 3: I think the preparation is very much centered around CJ.
Speaker 3: And I think that helps to actually be fully focused
Speaker 3: on what his skill set is and kind of run
Speaker 3: the offense that way. Uh. And if Trevor can play,
Speaker 3: obviously that's great, but mostly just because they need to win,
Speaker 3: so whatever they need to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got to make sure long term Trevor's
Speaker 2: fine too. I mean you can't. Obviously, you're not going
Speaker 2: to really beat the test if he's not ready. He's
Speaker 2: not ready. And back in the old days, give him
Speaker 2: a smelling salt, let's go, yeah, the old which is
Speaker 2: not smart. I mean, look, I'm not sitting there saying
Speaker 2: that that's the way it should be, but I mean
Speaker 2: it's it was a little bit ridiculous back in the
Speaker 2: old day. But here's the reality though, even today, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of players that.
Speaker 3: Don't report, which is unfortunate.
Speaker 2: It is unfortunate incredibly too, Yeah, because I mean, here's
Speaker 2: the other part of this. Availability means dollars in your pocket.
Speaker 2: And if all of a sudden you're a player that
Speaker 2: has concussion issues or injury issues or availability issues, your
Speaker 2: value goes down. And so the self reporting is a
Speaker 2: big factor in this whole concussion protocol management system that
Speaker 2: the NFL has instituted. And for a while there the
Speaker 2: players weren't reporting it. But I think it's become a
Speaker 2: little bit more acceptable and okay to self report. Right,
Speaker 2: It's a good thing I could see too. I mean,
Speaker 2: some guys have incentives in their contracts and certain numbers
Speaker 2: to hit, and if it's this time of year or something,
Speaker 2: then you may, you know, I got to get this
Speaker 2: number to get this thing. But you know who knows here,
Speaker 2: and the facts are is that Trevor is the quarterback
Speaker 2: of this franchise for the next decade plus. Okay, as
Speaker 2: long as you know he keeps trending in that direction,
Speaker 2: he stays healthy, God willing everything else. Okay, So you
Speaker 2: can't be shortsighted and say, well, look, you know, we're
Speaker 2: barely hanging on to this division lead. We need this game.
Speaker 2: You know, we need Trevor. We got to play him.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, let's slow down here, let's look at
Speaker 2: the big picture. The big picture is that you want
Speaker 2: Trevor for the next decade, a decade and a half,
Speaker 2: you know, so we got to make sure you make
Speaker 2: the right decision here for him and for the franchise.
Speaker 2: Ky Stevens in studio with us. Well, the next question is,
Speaker 2: whoever the quarterback is, who are they throwing to this week?
Speaker 2: A lot of guys, A couple of guys down this
Speaker 2: week receiver.
Speaker 3: They are Zay Jones not practicing, won't probably won't play either, obviously,
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk's been out. I think I talked a little
Speaker 3: bit about this on jag Zam this morning. I think
Speaker 3: sometimes when you someone's out and you know they need
Speaker 3: you need to step up. It's easy if Trevor's still around, right,
Speaker 3: because you're like, oh, he'll figure it out, like sort
Speaker 3: of thing. But when you really are down your quarterback,
Speaker 3: and then I feel there's a little more of a
Speaker 3: sense of urgency, like maybe with Calvin or Evan Ingram
Speaker 3: to kind of be like, okay, we really have to,
Speaker 3: like step up in this sense, because Trevor can't just
Speaker 3: go crazy and save the day, which is, you know
Speaker 3: what he's tried to do sometimes for better or worse.
Speaker 3: But I think it's easy when you have a super
Speaker 3: star on your team to be like, oh, we'll still
Speaker 3: be fine because we still have Trevor. But now that
Speaker 3: you don't have Trevor, it's like, oh, we really do
Speaker 3: have to step up. So maybe they'll take it a
Speaker 3: little differently than maybe they have before. And hopefully obviously
Speaker 3: I know CJ. Bethro was talking about working with Calvin
Speaker 3: and kind of getting that timing down, So hopefully that
Speaker 3: is a benefit.
Speaker 2: Here's a little bit of a positive CJ. Bethord who's
Speaker 2: even taking reps with Parker Washington. Yeah, okay, Elijah Cooks,
Speaker 2: Tim Jones, Yeah yeah, So I mean if he plays,
Speaker 2: he's got probably how they work more of a rapport
Speaker 2: with some of those guys, and maybe Trevor's been able.
Speaker 3: To build and Evan's been such a you know, sure
Speaker 3: handed person for this team, so imagine he's helpful in
Speaker 3: whoever's out there.
Speaker 2: Well, and you bring up Evan, well, Brent Strange looks
Speaker 2: like he's going to be back this week. Yeah, limited
Speaker 2: both days this week, So that's a that's a good sign,
Speaker 2: trending in the right direction. Correct, watched him in the
Speaker 2: what limited period of practice that we were able to
Speaker 2: watch today, he looked good. So and now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden you put him back into the mix. I mean,
Speaker 2: does that free you up to have Evan do some
Speaker 2: other things that maybe you haven't been able to do
Speaker 2: with strange not out on the field. Maybe so, so
Speaker 2: that also could be a positive for this week. If
Speaker 2: you're looking for the MVP of the truck game, look
Speaker 2: no further than Ford F one point fifty. Loaded with
Speaker 2: impressive capability and designed to dominate, workplay and everything in between.
Speaker 2: This truck makes tough look easy. Your local for dealer,
Speaker 2: proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. We're on ten ten, Xcel,
Speaker 2: ninety two point five FM, Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube.
Speaker 2: JP Shadwick, Jeff Logoman, Kai Stevens Jaguars Defense This week,
Speaker 2: Guy against Baker Mayfield. Perfect passer rating last week. They've
Speaker 2: got a couple of wide receivers, They've got some confidence.
Speaker 2: They've won three in a row. They're in first place,
Speaker 2: tied forward in the NFC South, and this is a
Speaker 2: little tougher I think then you might have bargained for
Speaker 2: when you saw the calendar and the schedule come out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was supposed to be the easy section of
Speaker 3: the schedule, right, and it's becoming very much the opposite.
Speaker 3: They're trending the opposite way. Yes, the one their last
Speaker 3: three games, Bigger Mayfield having the game of his life
Speaker 3: at Lambeau, but we talked a little bit about he
Speaker 3: still got sacked five times. So if the pass rush
Speaker 3: can get to him, obviously Josh Allen is going to
Speaker 3: play like a man on fire as he always does.
Speaker 3: If he can get to him a little bit, cause
Speaker 3: some chaos there and get some turnovers, which is what
Speaker 3: this defense relies on. Give some short field to this offense,
Speaker 3: helpfully get them a little bit closer, get them some points.
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be really important. And you know,
Speaker 3: not to discount the Bucks, of course, but they're not
Speaker 3: going up against the Ravens again like this is the Bucks.
Speaker 3: They can do this. It will be not as easy
Speaker 3: as it could be if Trevor was playing, but they
Speaker 3: can certainly get it done.
Speaker 2: Well. The great thing from last week going to this
Speaker 2: week is is that Baker Mayfield is not going to
Speaker 2: do it Lamar Jackson, Right, No, is that that level?
Speaker 2: I mean, what a display.
Speaker 3: And they played him like well, like it wasn't even
Speaker 3: like he went crazy, like the defense played pretty well
Speaker 3: and he still looked amazing ninety.
Speaker 2: Seven yards on the ground somehow, and it's just effortless. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know. The one play that I think is a
Speaker 2: perfect example of what Lamar Jackson can do is when
Speaker 2: Smoot misses him but thought he had him, and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he spins around and creates more
Speaker 2: time and then throws the ball just before Smoot comes
Speaker 2: back and hits him and then has his tight end
Speaker 2: high point it and then makes it catch inside the
Speaker 2: ten or around the tent or whatever it was. It's
Speaker 2: two guys, Lamar Jackson, and he just makes it look effortless.
Speaker 2: It's literally when I was joking around with Doug last
Speaker 2: week saying, did you do the chicken drills you know
Speaker 2: from the movie Rocky, I mean it's what it's like.
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you catch that guy just when
Speaker 2: you got three hundred pounders chase them? It doesn't work
Speaker 2: very well sometimes and Baker's got a little of that.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have that level. No totally different cats around.
Speaker 2: But then you get to him and I guess he
Speaker 2: can buy some time. But I mean not not not
Speaker 2: a statue.
Speaker 3: He can't do, not elusive. Lamar is like you can
Speaker 3: be there and he can.
Speaker 2: Like I thought, I thought when Michael Vick left the game,
Speaker 2: I said to myself, because you know, Randall Conningham was
Speaker 2: like the first mobile guy that I remember. There was
Speaker 2: other mobile guys, you know, but Randall was the one
Speaker 2: who really in my era. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Michael Vick came along and I said, there will never
Speaker 2: be another Michael Vick. I just thought, there's no way.
Speaker 2: This guy's just so special. Lamar's made Michael Vick look like,
Speaker 2: you know, just the beginnings of old school football. Lamar
Speaker 2: is that special, crazy big ball game. This Sunday, Christmas Eve, Tampa,
Speaker 2: the Jaguars and the Buccketeers battle of first place teams.
Speaker 2: Both teams tied for the lead in the respective divisions.
Speaker 2: The Jaguars have the tie breakers in the AFC South. Tonight,
Speaker 2: it's Jaguars All Access Television, spring Strings Sports Brewery, Springfield
Speaker 2: who you got caught.
Speaker 3: That's the one. Jamal Jamal Agne is going to be
Speaker 3: with us. He's back back on the field, so he's
Speaker 3: going to come join us today.
Speaker 2: Jamal will be fantastic. Yeah, great game. He had a
Speaker 2: great game. He had a big punt return, had a
Speaker 2: big kick return, the explosive play where by the way,
Speaker 2: the Ravens had a communication issue right on that defensive
Speaker 2: play and Jamal was able to expose that. So he
Speaker 2: had an outstanding return and return to play. And will
Speaker 2: his role evolve into a little bit more this week?
Speaker 2: I think that's an interesting question. It could is it
Speaker 2: could with you know, with the injury and.
Speaker 3: Any bodies at this point, So yes, I would hope.
Speaker 2: So you know, I hope he makes his biger plays
Speaker 2: or bigger because especially on special teams. I mean, if
Speaker 2: your offense has a new quarterback, or if your all
Speaker 2: fence has a Trevor Lawrence that hasn't been able to
Speaker 2: work all week. Whatever, however, it turns out you need
Speaker 2: a little jump start and the return of Jamal could
Speaker 2: help that in a in a big way. I hope.
Speaker 2: So go check it out tonight. Strings Sports Brewery, Springfield
Speaker 2: and seven o'clock start right, Yes, I ask you that
Speaker 2: every week it has always seven changed.
Speaker 3: Any of the week, we haven't done it, not at
Speaker 3: seven unless we were in London. I think we did
Speaker 3: maybe seven in London in a different time here. That's
Speaker 3: the only time it changed.
Speaker 2: Seven o'clock, Fox thirty Strings, Springfield, Jamal Agnew and the
Speaker 2: whole crew. Yeah. And they've got really good wings there.
Speaker 2: Oh the wings you like the white sauce, dude, the
Speaker 2: Alabama white. Right. We've talked about this before as well.
Speaker 3: Money Jeff gives away the recipe.
Speaker 2: Brisket cheese from the brisket cheese steak. There's another highly
Speaker 2: recommended item. I would say, good to know. And their
Speaker 2: sweet tea's nice, really nice. The beer's pretty nice too.
Speaker 2: What was a brewery you know? I would I wouldn't
Speaker 2: Wars show. I gotta do TV. I don't. Sometimes I'll
Speaker 2: go in there. Kay, thanks a lot, have a great show.
Speaker 2: This is what she gets to deal with tonight. That's
Speaker 2: Kay Stevens, Jaguars reporter with us back in a moment.
Speaker 2: The injury report is out, we'll get to that. And
Speaker 2: then at five o'clock the Doug Peterson Show, the head
Speaker 2: coaching Studio with us. This is Jaguars Happy Hour, brought
Speaker 2: to you by the Saint John's River Water Management District,
Speaker 2: Florida's Water. It's worth saving. Jaguars Happy Hour brought to
Speaker 2: you by the Saint John's River Water Management District, Florida's Water.
Speaker 2: It's worth saving. JP Shadick, Jeff B. Loogerman, Glad you're
Speaker 2: with us on Tension Excel ninety two point five FM,
Speaker 2: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube Time Put. The injury report
Speaker 2: presented by the Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedicgain Institute.
Speaker 2: That's not what it says. Is presented by Baptist Health
Speaker 2: and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine provider
Speaker 2: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. That sounds better, all right, Let's
Speaker 2: get to it. CJ. Bethard full both days this week.
Speaker 2: He has a left shoulder injury. Remember the play he
Speaker 2: came in, first play after Trevor Lawrence in what the
Speaker 2: Cleveland game? What game was that he Cincinnati went down
Speaker 2: on his arm and left shoulder injury out of that,
Speaker 2: but he's been full both days. Kristin Braswell hamstring injury
Speaker 2: limited both days. Tyson Campbell with a quadriceps injury limited
Speaker 2: both days. We'll see if that trends better tomorrow for him.
Speaker 2: Andre Cisco coming off a groin issue limited Wednesday and Thursday,
Speaker 2: same thing. Let's check on tomorrow and his status for
Speaker 2: those two starters in the secondary. Ezra Cleveland listed with
Speaker 2: a knee issue limited both days. Zay Jones is not
Speaker 2: practiced either day this week. That didn't sound too good
Speaker 2: from the head coach this week. Early Trevor Lawrence is
Speaker 2: not practiced yet. Tomorrow is I think the really big
Speaker 2: day to see if he takes a step in the
Speaker 2: right direction to be able to play on Sunday. The
Speaker 2: Walker little with a hamstring injury limited and Brenton Strange
Speaker 2: foot injury limited both days. Yeah, Strange having missed three
Speaker 2: games so far with the foot, so good to have
Speaker 2: him back. I think he will help the running game,
Speaker 2: you know with ETN in the last six games, the
Speaker 2: numbers with Travis are not very good. I mean, look
Speaker 2: last six games, he's averaged three point three yards per
Speaker 2: carry and about forty two yards a game. Not great.
Speaker 2: It's not going to get any easier this week. True.
Speaker 2: The Bucks a top ten run defense. Their weakness, their
Speaker 2: kryptonite has been the passing game team's throwing on them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean they're whether rank twenty six in the league
Speaker 2: in total defense, the second worst team in the National
Speaker 2: Football League in past the defense thirty first. They have
Speaker 2: one other really stat of note, their red zone. They've
Speaker 2: been very strong, top five, ranked at number four in
Speaker 2: red zone percentage. So they're doing a good job there.
Speaker 2: This is a very aggressive defense, and this defense has
Speaker 2: been with them for what three four years now with
Speaker 2: Todd Bowles, you know, being the former defensive coordinator under
Speaker 2: Bruce arians. So the guys that they have in place,
Speaker 2: that are in this system and that have been in
Speaker 2: the system for a couple of years, they know it
Speaker 2: in and out. Okay, So but if you look at
Speaker 2: the numbers, they have one of the higher percentages of
Speaker 2: pressure packages that they bring. And a lot of people
Speaker 2: think of pressure as blitz. Pressure can be blitz, but
Speaker 2: pressure also can be Let's say you send a middle
Speaker 2: linebacker and a nickel on a blitz and then you
Speaker 2: drop a defensive line. It's a zone. It's a depleted zone,
Speaker 2: but it's still a zone. But you would drop two
Speaker 2: and bring the other two No, okay, so one extra guy. Now,
Speaker 2: like a fire zone, which we would used to call
Speaker 2: them the fire zone, a fire zone, we'd bring, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe one guy, maybe two guys, and then drop one.
Speaker 2: So you could just have a depleted zone. You could
Speaker 2: have a full zone or a depleted zone. It just depends. Now,
Speaker 2: a full blown blitz means you're, you know when they
Speaker 2: say blitz like man a man, Okay, Now you're bringing guys.
Speaker 2: Everybody's coming, and you got somebody to cover every eligible
Speaker 2: wide receiver, and in most cases you would have one
Speaker 2: safety back deep to help in case somebody got out
Speaker 2: to kind of prevent the touchdown play. And then you
Speaker 2: have a what we call a true zero blitz play,
Speaker 2: which everybody's coming, there's no no one person back deep,
Speaker 2: and everybody's on their own on an island. Good luck.
Speaker 2: That's that's aggressive. I mean, that's really aggressive. That's Rex
Speaker 2: Ryan stuff right there. Okay, Rex, Well he can get
Speaker 2: away with some of that because he had revis what
Speaker 2: Rex used to do, which was so unique. When we
Speaker 2: start talking about fire zones. He would at times send
Speaker 2: two or sometimes three guys and then just leave a
Speaker 2: couple zones completely uncovered. He didn't care because he's like,
Speaker 2: look at the quarterback can find it. Congratulations, good job.
Speaker 2: But we want to make sure that we bring more
Speaker 2: than you can block. And so the offensive line needs
Speaker 2: to be good from that standpoint because they're one of
Speaker 2: the top teams in the league at bringing pressure, and
Speaker 2: you don't want to have a backup quarterback dealing with pressure,
Speaker 2: or a quarterback who just gets out of the concussion
Speaker 2: protocol dealing with pressure, whatever it turns out to be.
Speaker 2: So sounds like they all are, but this one, maybe
Speaker 2: more than most, is a critical big game in pass protection.
Speaker 2: For this offensive line to step up and stand their ground,
Speaker 2: that would be a all capital yees. Yes, I'd say so.
Speaker 2: But you know, and here's part of that. How about
Speaker 2: running the ball? How about it? Right? I mean, now
Speaker 2: the interior is gonna be plugged up. It feels like
Speaker 2: with Vidavello. Well, you know, make a move, make the
Speaker 2: big man move. Okay, this this team doesn't run down
Speaker 2: hill between the tackles anyway. This is a offensive line
Speaker 2: moving kind of kind of run game. So make the
Speaker 2: big man move. You know, that's tough. Run wide, tire
Speaker 2: him out. See well, and hopefully you can do a
Speaker 2: little bit of that. But but what I mean by
Speaker 2: that is that you take it's hard to bring pressure
Speaker 2: as a defense if all of a sudden the defense
Speaker 2: is in second and two, second and three, second and four, okay,
Speaker 2: third and three, third and four. Defenses love to bring
Speaker 2: pressure when they're in second and seven plus, third and
Speaker 2: five or six plus. That makes it very easy to
Speaker 2: bring pressure. They are more confident called pressure in those
Speaker 2: down in distances as opposed to the shorter distances. So
Speaker 2: run the ball effectively take the pressure off of the
Speaker 2: third down by even having manageable distance, or the short
Speaker 2: passing game, which sometimes whatever successful to get you four
Speaker 2: on first down. Yeah, and I mean look short like
Speaker 2: little all that screen passes underneath the evan ingram, okay,
Speaker 2: or a quick wide receiver screen to the xterior, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he turns up, gets a block
Speaker 2: and gets five or six. That's okay. I mean it's
Speaker 2: essentially a controlled offense, a controlled passing attack that's very
Speaker 2: similar to the running game. What do you want to
Speaker 2: hear from head coach Doug Peterson. We've got it in
Speaker 2: the studio in mere moments. I'd like to know what
Speaker 2: the what the protocol is like? Just to deal with
Speaker 2: from a head coach's standpoint, because that's kind of the unknown.
Speaker 2: You know, they don't coaches don't talk a lot about
Speaker 2: the protocol. But what's it like? I mean as a coach,
Speaker 2: what's your mindset? You know, how do you handle that?
Speaker 2: You know, what do you what do you do? You say? Well,
Speaker 2: you know, we'll just find out when we find out.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of or do you make up?
Speaker 2: Do you have the ability to make plans in the
Speaker 2: concussion protocol? And then also want to talk about Todd
Speaker 2: bows defense? You know, how you deal with that? How
Speaker 2: blocking the big man Vitavella, how that's going to be
Speaker 2: in and also staying positive? How do you stay positive
Speaker 2: with your team? Yeah? Positive? And the pressure cooker is
Speaker 2: on now and you know there can be tightness that
Speaker 2: creeps in not only in that locker room but around
Speaker 2: the organization. So how do you handle that as a
Speaker 2: head coach? That's why he's the head coach. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: got the answer. He's done it before a few times,
Speaker 2: I think, So all right, that'll do it for Jaguars
Speaker 2: Happy Hour. Coming up next, it's the Doug Peterson show
Speaker 2: on the Jaguars Radio Network, the head coach in studio
Speaker 2: with us ahead of the Jaguars Buccaneers matchup. It's Week
Speaker 2: sixteen and this has been Jaguars Happy Hour, brought to
Speaker 2: you with a Saint John's River Water Management District, Florida's
