Speaker 1: It is Thursday, October. This is Jaguars Happy Hour and
Speaker 1: now social media's number one Smoked Meats influencer, Jay Peace Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Welcome in. It is Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday.
Speaker 1: It's week six. The Jags and the Lions coming up.
Speaker 1: We've got Jeff Flagaman coming up, Tony Boselli as well,
Speaker 1: and then at five o'clock the Doug Moron Show. Here's
Speaker 1: what's coming up on the program today, Jags Lions preview.
Speaker 1: The Jags are back home. They haven't been home in
Speaker 1: a little bit. The only home game in this month.
Speaker 1: Stretch to back to back road games for the last
Speaker 1: two weeks and then home this week and then out
Speaker 1: to l A next week. So I gotta get a
Speaker 1: little home cooking this week. Gotta get a little offensive
Speaker 1: balance to according to Jay Gruden, will back that around
Speaker 1: a little bit. The defense getting healthier. The front line
Speaker 1: guys were out last week at least are back on
Speaker 1: the practice field somewhat this week. Tony masel As we
Speaker 1: set it for thirty and the head coach joining us
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Radio Network at five o'clock. Jeff Logman,
Speaker 1: Jaguars analyst, joining us now and here we go. This
Speaker 1: is a game, Logs that you just need to get
Speaker 1: this one after the bad taste the last four weeks.
Speaker 1: It's a young team. They've got to get some confidence
Speaker 1: back and and finish the game and a winning result
Speaker 1: is is badly needed at this point, Uh, in a
Speaker 1: big way. And uh when you when you work so
Speaker 1: hard and you've got a young football team and you're
Speaker 1: trying to tell them, hey, look, if we do things
Speaker 1: the right way and we do this and we do that,
Speaker 1: then we're gonna win. But then you continually lose. It's
Speaker 1: hard to get some type of positive reinforcement. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just human nature that you want to have some
Speaker 1: type of reward for all your hard work. And then
Speaker 1: once you get to the point where, okay, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you're real off, you know, five losses, six losses,
Speaker 1: seven losses, then you know, all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: season is lost. And then it's a matter of becoming
Speaker 1: the old term. Now you've got to be a professional.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody wants to play football to be a professional.
Speaker 1: You play football to win and then to advance. And
Speaker 1: so I mean, obviously it's a very long shot for
Speaker 1: this football team to kind of bounce back and and
Speaker 1: get itself involved in the playoff picture. But for a
Speaker 1: young team, look, you just want to compete. You want
Speaker 1: to be competitive, and right now they're not being competitive,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean a few of these games are
Speaker 1: competitive to a certain point, but then the opponent is
Speaker 1: running away with it and it's hard to stomach sometimes
Speaker 1: and it's hard to take, you know, And that's why
Speaker 1: you have a lot of a little sour attitudes, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, scept some I think the first
Speaker 1: couple of weeks of the season, things felt a little better.
Speaker 1: You get better answers, you know, when you talk to
Speaker 1: the players and they're a little happier, a little bit
Speaker 1: more chipper, and all of a sudden after four consecutive
Speaker 1: JP not so much. That's the way it works. Got
Speaker 1: to get those winning results in the NFL. Let's get
Speaker 1: to the injury report today. It just came down from
Speaker 1: the Jaguars PR staff. The list is not quite as
Speaker 1: long as it was last week. There's still a lot
Speaker 1: of names on the list. Guys who were full today though,
Speaker 1: include Daniel Quality, defensive lineman C. J. Henderson, who was
Speaker 1: limited yesterday. The cornerback full today. That's good news. Miles
Speaker 1: Jack same exact thing. Limited yesterday, full today, That's great
Speaker 1: news for the Jaguars defense. Brandon Lender had a scheduled
Speaker 1: off day yesterday. He was full today. Now. Josh Allen
Speaker 1: has been limited both days Wednesday and Thursday, coming off
Speaker 1: his knee issue. Laviscus Chennault did not practice yesterday. Limited today,
Speaker 1: but he played last week, of course after not much
Speaker 1: practice at all. And then most notable guys who haven't
Speaker 1: practiced yet this week, dj Chark wide receiver, then Tyler Eifford,
Speaker 1: and linebacker Dakota Allen. The Chark win is a little
Speaker 1: scary there, Logs. That's never good news. In your top
Speaker 1: receiver has not touched the practice field in two days, well,
Speaker 1: it's never good. And and it's never good either when
Speaker 1: he only has three catches for sixteen yards in the
Speaker 1: previous game. You know. So I remember in the course
Speaker 1: of the game last week, there was a point where
Speaker 1: he ended up going off to the sideline and he
Speaker 1: was kind of limping, and obviously that's where he hurt
Speaker 1: this ankle, which is what's on the injury report. And uh, look,
Speaker 1: we've seen how this team played without him, which was
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game against the Miami Dolphins, and the
Speaker 1: team had like no juice offensively. So if he's not
Speaker 1: able to play against the Detroit Lions, you can't go
Speaker 1: back to that, to that type of an offense. And
Speaker 1: then one thing I said about after that game is
Speaker 1: that that's absolutely no reason for your offense to have
Speaker 1: no juice sho. No one guy, with the exception of
Speaker 1: maybe a quarterback and an offensive system, is that important
Speaker 1: to an offense to where you slump that badly in
Speaker 1: one week because of a wide receiver's absence. You got
Speaker 1: you got a good wide receiver group, you know, Caitlan Colea, Visca,
Speaker 1: the young guy, Colin Johnson, I mean, all these guys
Speaker 1: are and Chris Conney, I mean, these are all legitimate
Speaker 1: guys that can play. I'm not saying that they're superstars,
Speaker 1: and they're not Pro Bowl caliber guys by like DJ,
Speaker 1: but they're good enough to get you by for a
Speaker 1: period of time. So if DJ is not available, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if he is or he's not going
Speaker 1: to be, they need to play better than they did
Speaker 1: on that Thursday night game. But one more addition, to
Speaker 1: this injury report. Abvery Jones limited yesterday with an ankle
Speaker 1: on a hamstring issue, did not practice today. We'll get
Speaker 1: to the defense a little bit later in the show Loves,
Speaker 1: but let's start today. Let's continue on the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball, and the main talking point this week
Speaker 1: for J. Gruden the offensive NATO was still trying to
Speaker 1: find that balance in the offense. Gardner Minshew through the
Speaker 1: ball forty nine times last week. Let's hear from J. Gruden. Now,
Speaker 1: you said there's an ideal number of attempts for Gardner Minshew,
Speaker 1: and it certainly is not forty nine times. We won
Speaker 1: one game and he threw the ball twenty times. We're
Speaker 1: really probably about twenty seven or twenty eight times because
Speaker 1: he had a couple of scrambles in there and in
Speaker 1: a couple of sacks. So, uh, that's the ideal number
Speaker 1: for us. Unfortunately, uh score related, we weren't good enough
Speaker 1: on offense in the first two or three quarters to
Speaker 1: keep the game uh close where we didn't have to
Speaker 1: throw the ball. You know, I feel like against Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: obviously against Miami and then last week against Houston, you
Speaker 1: take a whole quarter out of your out of the
Speaker 1: game as far as being able to run the football
Speaker 1: because you're playing behind, you're playing against the clock as
Speaker 1: well as that the other team. That kind of skews
Speaker 1: the numbers. But in a perfect world, this offense is
Speaker 1: built on balance, and uh to thirty times is the
Speaker 1: target number in my opinion, which would have been the numbers,
Speaker 1: certainly because he had some scrambles and some sacks in
Speaker 1: that game week one to make it between twenty five
Speaker 1: and thirty. And you see, um, you every time the
Speaker 1: Jags have loss, he's had to throw the ball forty
Speaker 1: or more times. That's not the recipe for effective balanced
Speaker 1: offense logs, especially when you have a running game that
Speaker 1: has been effective when it's been used. I kind of
Speaker 1: have I don't want to say an issue with with
Speaker 1: what Jay grew us saying, but I want to point
Speaker 1: one thing out, and that you know, you kind of
Speaker 1: he's kind of looking at the tempo of the game
Speaker 1: and as to why they didn't have the number of
Speaker 1: carries in the running game and why they threw the
Speaker 1: ball so many times. But at the same token in
Speaker 1: the ball game against the Texans, I mean, the reality
Speaker 1: is in the first half, offensively, you had plenty of
Speaker 1: opportunities to actually take the lead in the first half,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's not like the game got out
Speaker 1: of hand because there was something that was out of
Speaker 1: your control. I mean, the game was a one possession
Speaker 1: game all the way until the third quarter, you know so,
Speaker 1: and and it should have been not even a one
Speaker 1: possession game. The Jaguar should have taken the lead at
Speaker 1: some point because towards the end of the first half
Speaker 1: there you had uh, what was it, third and goal
Speaker 1: at the three, and then you end up trying a
Speaker 1: little chip shot field goal and that's no good. You
Speaker 1: get no points out of that. And then you turn
Speaker 1: around and get an interception to the city Jones had
Speaker 1: and then you have an opportunity to do something there,
Speaker 1: and then you come up with no points there. And
Speaker 1: then you have another opportunity with the fourth and one,
Speaker 1: and that was right there in the tight red area,
Speaker 1: and you were not able to do anything with that either.
Speaker 1: And you know so, so all the way through up
Speaker 1: until that fourth and one, you had control of the
Speaker 1: game as far as you could have done whatever you
Speaker 1: wanted to do. You could throw it, you could you
Speaker 1: could run it, you could have balance. Uh, you could
Speaker 1: have you con sat there and fed James Robinson the
Speaker 1: ball a ton of times? Um I just think wasn't
Speaker 1: a very good game for j grum H and the
Speaker 1: coaching staff. You know, for a couple of different reasons. One,
Speaker 1: you didn't have balance of what the play call and
Speaker 1: even go even if you go all the way back,
Speaker 1: you roll the game back and you stop the numbers
Speaker 1: right there at that fourth and one and you say, okay,
Speaker 1: let's go back and let's look at what the run
Speaker 1: pass ratio was. It wasn't very balanced at that point.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's got to change. I think
Speaker 1: it's putting too much on a Gardner Minshew's plate, and
Speaker 1: you need to take a little bit of pressure off
Speaker 1: of him because right now your quarterback is not playing
Speaker 1: well enough to be able to carry the load. That's
Speaker 1: a fact. And so if he's not playing good enough
Speaker 1: to carry the load, then you've got to take the
Speaker 1: load off of me. You've got to find a way
Speaker 1: to take the load and put it somewhere else. Well,
Speaker 1: here's a here's another thought about it too. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: Texans entered the game last week the last ranked rushing
Speaker 1: defense in football. The Lions. This week are the thirty
Speaker 1: second ranked team against the run. But when defenses are
Speaker 1: struggling and at least statistically against the run, can they
Speaker 1: scheme things defensively to make teams throw? You know, there's
Speaker 1: at some point there's so many guys up front and
Speaker 1: coming down that you have to throw the football, right,
Speaker 1: I mean? Is that? Is that another way to look
Speaker 1: at this too? Yes, I mean that can be the case.
Speaker 1: And if you go back to the Blake Bortles era,
Speaker 1: that's what you saw because opponents were likely We don't
Speaker 1: care about Blake Bortles. I mean, let him beat us
Speaker 1: if if he can beat us, you know, and we
Speaker 1: don't deserve to win a football game anyway. You know,
Speaker 1: you're not seeing that now, jpet where you're saying eight
Speaker 1: man front, nine man fronts and crowding the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage and then they're darying the Jaguars to throw the football.
Speaker 1: You're you're not seeing that. So uh, I just you know,
Speaker 1: because when you refer back to where the opponents were ranked,
Speaker 1: and obviously a lot of times statistics can be kind
Speaker 1: of torked and and interpreted however you want to it
Speaker 1: to some degree, But when you look at the opponents
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars have had, and when you go back
Speaker 1: last week, they were what Houston was dead last, right,
Speaker 1: go back the week before that, Cincinnati was about dead last,
Speaker 1: if not dead last. Then you go to the week
Speaker 1: before that and it was a Miami Dolphins team that
Speaker 1: was like twenty seven against the run. So I mean,
Speaker 1: you're talking, you know, a three week stretch here where
Speaker 1: you're you're facing a bottom five opponents stopping the run,
Speaker 1: but yet you're not You're not calling. In the Miami game,
Speaker 1: I get it because you know, you kind of fell behind,
Speaker 1: and so the tempo of the game was very different.
Speaker 1: But the Cincinnati game and the game against the Texans,
Speaker 1: the tempo was still there that you could have continued
Speaker 1: to stick with the run, but you you call it
Speaker 1: a little bit more past. And look, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get to the point of where you you're trying
Speaker 1: to criticize the offensive coordinator. But because I think Jay
Speaker 1: Gruden is a wonderful coach. I think he's one of
Speaker 1: the best in the league. But look, offensive coordinators and
Speaker 1: coaches can have bad games too. I mean that that's
Speaker 1: allowed to happen. And I think that the Texans game
Speaker 1: was a bad game for j I think it was
Speaker 1: a bad game for the coaching staff. Offensively speaking, anyway,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are what twenty six in the league and
Speaker 1: rushing the ball. Going back to statistics again, you can
Speaker 1: talk them anyway you'd like, as you said, but they're
Speaker 1: they're pretty good in terms of runs, yards per play
Speaker 1: ninth in the league. So when they do run the
Speaker 1: ball logs, it has been effective. James Robinson is a
Speaker 1: big part of that. The offensive line has certainly a
Speaker 1: major role in that in this running game when it
Speaker 1: is rolling, can be quite effective for the team. For
Speaker 1: this team as you see by the yards per play
Speaker 1: and in the run game. Well, in his past game,
Speaker 1: I talked a little bit about about third down as
Speaker 1: an all offense to allow you to continue to run
Speaker 1: the football. And again, you have those opportunities as an
Speaker 1: offense because you know you were converting I want to
Speaker 1: say it was on third down against the Texans eight
Speaker 1: of sixteen to be exact, So you had the opportunities
Speaker 1: run the ball for whatever reason you chose not to.
Speaker 1: And I think the one that the play that you know,
Speaker 1: everybody kind of shook their head at, and I think
Speaker 1: Ethan J. Gruden admitted that it wasn't a very good call,
Speaker 1: but it was that little wildcat sweet pass that James
Speaker 1: Robinson was gonna throw it to James of shaughnessy. And
Speaker 1: if you want to question the call, that that's fine
Speaker 1: because that's what people do, you you question play calls.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it was a very good call,
Speaker 1: But then I also look at the play and I'll go, okay,
Speaker 1: if it's called, then let's look at the play and
Speaker 1: the execution of the play. I thought the execution of
Speaker 1: the play was poor. I thought that, uh, from from
Speaker 1: a number of standpoints, and that you had about four
Speaker 1: guys on that play that didn't even come close to
Speaker 1: executing at the level that it needed to be. From
Speaker 1: James Robinson to your full back, to James O'Shaughnessy, uh,
Speaker 1: to your tight end that was staying in the block. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's four components on that play that didn't perform anywhere
Speaker 1: close to where you needed to be at. And for me,
Speaker 1: if you have a play like that, it's gotta be
Speaker 1: you gotta be rolling downhill. When I say rolling downhill,
Speaker 1: you're you've got the opponent on the heels you've got
Speaker 1: maybe a a lead in the ballgame. James Robinson has
Speaker 1: been not a dominant player, but has been an impact
Speaker 1: player in the game. And at that point, James Robinson
Speaker 1: was a little bit of an afterthought. So all of
Speaker 1: a sudden to expect the defense to go, oh, no,
Speaker 1: James Robinson in a wildcat sweep, We've got to come
Speaker 1: up and stop him because he's been gash at us.
Speaker 1: Wasn't happening. So uh And obviously that wasn't play calling
Speaker 1: at its best in my opinion. But if it worked,
Speaker 1: I would say that's a great play call. That's right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. And Drewden did admit that this week that
Speaker 1: you know, it's probably a better third down play that
Speaker 1: gives you the fourth down cushion there. But hindsight, as
Speaker 1: you said, is let's touch on this line. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I would call a good down play either, JP,
Speaker 1: because you know what you're running on third down, and
Speaker 1: if you don't make it there, then you try to
Speaker 1: run it again on fourth. Now, I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: that's one of those plays where you run when you've
Speaker 1: got a lead, you know, and you're just you're just
Speaker 1: dog piling the opponent on the ground and James Robinson
Speaker 1: is kicking everybody's rear end. That's I mean, for me,
Speaker 1: that's the kind of call that I would like to
Speaker 1: say that situation for where you're trying to just slam
Speaker 1: the door shut and and make it, you know, a
Speaker 1: three possession game or you know, something of that nature.
Speaker 1: But in that situation where you're where you're behind and
Speaker 1: you're just trying to get the lead and uh no,
Speaker 1: or we go up to score or something like that.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the Lions defense quickly. Here logs. You
Speaker 1: go through the depth chart and it's not like there
Speaker 1: are household names jumping off the page at you. For
Speaker 1: the Lions defense. Jeff sent out to me, obviously the
Speaker 1: rookie corner. Who are the householding Who are the names
Speaker 1: of the Lions defense to look out for. Chris Spielman,
Speaker 1: Robert Porsche, Darius Slay. Uh. I'm joking, because I mean,
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean it. This is a Lions defense
Speaker 1: that that doesn't have a lot of names, but it's
Speaker 1: got a few names now that are pretty good. And
Speaker 1: a lot of those names you probably would recognize been
Speaker 1: in New England Patriots uniform and with the Detroit Lions uniform,
Speaker 1: you're probably not recognizing them because Doron Harmon is the
Speaker 1: safety as a former Patriot. You've got Jamie Collins, who's
Speaker 1: a form or Patriot. You've got uh, Danny Shelton who
Speaker 1: played for the Patriots, Trey Flowers who played for the Patriots.
Speaker 1: I mean, so if they were wearing Patriot uniforms, you'd
Speaker 1: be going, I know that guy. But there in Detroit
Speaker 1: and not many people know that they made the move.
Speaker 1: And obviously Matt Patricia having the New England connection, that's
Speaker 1: why you see a lot of those guys who are there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean to answer your question, it's not
Speaker 1: a lot of household names. And the reason why is
Speaker 1: because Detroit hasn't won a lot of football games. It's
Speaker 1: no different than if you ask somebody in Kansas City
Speaker 1: or somebody in Detroit about, hey, do you know who
Speaker 1: plays for the Jaguars defense, and it's probably go, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: plays Campbell, Yanniken, Gockway, oh yeah, Jalen Ramsey. But I
Speaker 1: mean it's not the case. You know, so when when
Speaker 1: you play teams and they win and they're good and
Speaker 1: they're on TV, it's a little bit easier to know
Speaker 1: their names. And right now the detro lines haven't been
Speaker 1: very good under Matt Patricia and so we haven't seen
Speaker 1: him a lot. We haven't had the experience of facing
Speaker 1: him much, so you really don't know him. Let's come back.
Speaker 1: We'll fence this week gets Matt Stafford and Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. Also for thirty
Speaker 1: Tony was Selly joining us. That's just a few minutes
Speaker 1: away from right now. Doug Moron Show coming up at

Speaker 1: the tape on on Monday afternoon, I was like, Damn,
Speaker 1: he's still running like he did when he was twenty
Speaker 1: two years old. Um, you know, he still has his
Speaker 1: unbelievable jump cut. You know, I think it was nine
Speaker 1: years ago we played him in Seattle, and I think
Speaker 1: he's still running somewhere in Mexico. Um. So, uh, he
Speaker 1: has the ability to make people miss and he runs extremely,
Speaker 1: extremely hard and uh you see him play behind his pads.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be very important. He really likes to be
Speaker 1: able to get the ball to bounce. So I think
Speaker 1: our guys on the perimeter and the edges have to
Speaker 1: be able to tackle well. But it's a credit to
Speaker 1: him how he's taking care of his body. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: through all the years and the pounding that he's taken.
Speaker 1: You've got to give a lot of credit to man.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of uh respect for him in our
Speaker 1: building and obviously as from us as a coaching staff.
Speaker 1: Todd Wash Jaguars defensive coordinator, of course, discussing Adrian Peterson,
Speaker 1: the veteran running back and the future Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Jaguars Happy Hour and a p Shadrick, Jeff Loghman,
Speaker 1: Tony Boselli coming up in just a little bit here. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously, you you look at this Lions offense
Speaker 1: and Matthew Stafford's the first guy you look too. He's
Speaker 1: been there for a long time now as the franchise quarterback.
Speaker 1: But they've added Adrian Peterson in the running game this year.
Speaker 1: He is fifth on the all time rushing yardage list
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, about eight hundred yards shy
Speaker 1: or so of Barry Sanders. Talking to Fred Taylor today
Speaker 1: logs that kind of Fred said that, yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: probably really what he's going after because the rest of
Speaker 1: the guys on the list are a little too far
Speaker 1: out there. But once he gets to Barry Sanders, then
Speaker 1: you might see him at some point, maybe back off
Speaker 1: the accelerator a little bit. He scored three times all
Speaker 1: time against the Jags. Two of those came in the
Speaker 1: first game of the twenty twelve season in Minneapolis. That
Speaker 1: was his first game coming off his knee injury, and
Speaker 1: he scored twice that day. And that will turn out
Speaker 1: to be a great football game in Minneapolis of the
Speaker 1: old Metro Dome that day. I'm curious how much juice
Speaker 1: he really has left in the tanket sounds like wash feels,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a similar feel. I Mean, he's not
Speaker 1: as huge as Derrick Henry, but Derrick Henry likes to
Speaker 1: bounce it outside and go against little guys on the
Speaker 1: outside too. Yeah, a little different though. I mean, did
Speaker 1: you see the Derrick Henry stiff arm again on Tuesday night?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but Adrian Peterson not trying to criticize
Speaker 1: him or anything of that nature, j V. But he's
Speaker 1: never had a stiff arm like that. But he's a
Speaker 1: bit a great back. And and I will say that
Speaker 1: I don't I don't necessarily agree with your fred thinking
Speaker 1: that trying to get to Barry Sanders is kind of
Speaker 1: what he's shooting for. I think he's going for Emma.
Speaker 1: I mean that's three thousand eight yards away, and Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson needs the money and he still feels like he
Speaker 1: can play, So why not go for it. Uh, they're
Speaker 1: gonna have to kick him out of the out of
Speaker 1: the National Football League. I mean that's just kind of
Speaker 1: his attitude. And he's been a great back. He's been
Speaker 1: a powerful back. And I remember when he was drafted
Speaker 1: by the Minnesota Vikings. I've got a lot of family
Speaker 1: on my mom's side that reside up there in the
Speaker 1: Dakotas area, and of course they're all Minnesota Vikings fans,
Speaker 1: and and so my cousin Dan calls me up and
Speaker 1: he says, you know, what do you think about this guy,
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. I said, I think that the Vikings got
Speaker 1: the steal of the draft, you know, because he was
Speaker 1: a running back and he kind of fell a little bit.
Speaker 1: And he's been nothing short of fantastic. And you know
Speaker 1: that's the reason why that he is in Detroit. Daryl Bevil,
Speaker 1: who is his first offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 1: is the offensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions. Now, so
Speaker 1: there's some filming. Uh, they're familiar with each other, and
Speaker 1: Darryl belle Bevill still believes in Adrian Peterson. He's still
Speaker 1: a good back. Now. The one thing that that Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson does not do well that kind of I don't
Speaker 1: want to say makes your offense predictable, but it certainly
Speaker 1: changes the way you look at it is that when
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson is on the field, he's not a very
Speaker 1: good receiver. He hasn't been great in protection, uh in
Speaker 1: his past. I think he's gotten better at it, and
Speaker 1: then he's got hands of stone, So that's never been
Speaker 1: his strong suit. You know, when he is on the field,
Speaker 1: you know it's either gonna be runner play action, and
Speaker 1: I think from a defensive coordinator standpoint, you don't sit
Speaker 1: there and he doesn't give you sleepless nights as a
Speaker 1: receiver threat out of the backfield. Matthew Stafford has twice
Speaker 1: played the Jacksonville Jaguars in his career. He's come away
Speaker 1: with two winning results, but he has zero touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: zero interceptions. The Jaguars in those games have turned the
Speaker 1: ball over to the Lions a few times, which helped
Speaker 1: the Lions get those two victories, but well over forty
Speaker 1: thousand yards in his career. He is the franchise quarterback
Speaker 1: in Detroit's and you know it's what kind of play
Speaker 1: has he put out there this year? Logs Uh not great. Uh.
Speaker 1: Completion percentage just a little bit over um last year.
Speaker 1: Prior to his back injury, he was having a career year.
Speaker 1: He was dominant and had a back injury. And so
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, because the lines are coming
Speaker 1: off of a bye week, so last weekend, this week,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of conversation, a lot of questionings
Speaker 1: from the press up in Detroit, and namely to the
Speaker 1: head coach, Man Patrician, also the offensive coordinator Darre Bebel,
Speaker 1: about is there something wrong with Matt Stafford? And and
Speaker 1: Daryl Bebbel actually came out and talked about Matt Stafford's
Speaker 1: feet and in fact that we're gonna look at the
Speaker 1: feet tonight on Jaguars All Access in the film room,
Speaker 1: because when you watch the film, a quarterback just like
Speaker 1: a baseball player when you throw a baseball, and a
Speaker 1: quarterback when you throw a football, not to oversimplify things,
Speaker 1: but can be kind of templified that way, and that
Speaker 1: if your feet aren't in position, it's very difficult to
Speaker 1: make certain throws and in some cases to make any throws.
Speaker 1: And when you watch Matt Stafford, there's two plays that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you tonight and JP sit there and
Speaker 1: you watch him and you go one of them. He's
Speaker 1: got a four man rush and then when he when
Speaker 1: he drops, he's in shotgun. He gets the snap and
Speaker 1: he take a couple of steps back and you would
Speaker 1: think that, okay, no pressure, fore man rush, confidence in
Speaker 1: the offensive line, feet would be calmed. His feet looked
Speaker 1: like he was having a couple cover zero all out
Speaker 1: blitz coming in his face. He was panicked, and he
Speaker 1: ends up throwing an interception on a pass that was
Speaker 1: intended for t. J. Hockinson in the tight red area
Speaker 1: and it was it was terrible. And it all started
Speaker 1: with the feet. And the mind has to be calm
Speaker 1: a lot of times for the feet to end up
Speaker 1: being calm. Another throw that he had later on should
Speaker 1: have been intercepted. He's got an impending hit and so
Speaker 1: quarterback's got to have a little courage and stand in
Speaker 1: there and throw off the back foot, just like a
Speaker 1: picture pushing off of the mound. That's what he drives
Speaker 1: off of and gets his velocity and the power to
Speaker 1: make a throw, and instead he kind of just throws
Speaker 1: it up. And when he throws it up, it's just
Speaker 1: literally a wounded duck in the air. And the only
Speaker 1: reason the New Orleans Saints didn't intercept it was just
Speaker 1: because they had one guy that didn't even see the ball,
Speaker 1: that was playing man coverage and there was a safety
Speaker 1: playing from the inside that it was just too far
Speaker 1: for him to make it. But if there was a
Speaker 1: split safety, it would have been an interception, and the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints were headed down the field for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So Matt Stafford is not playing great. His feet have
Speaker 1: been unsettled, and you got to try to keep it
Speaker 1: that way. And I know that that's a lot to
Speaker 1: ask a Jaguars defense that hasn't rushed the pass or
Speaker 1: affected the quarterback much, but you've got to find a
Speaker 1: way to affect him because if you don't, Matt Stafford
Speaker 1: can can light you up. He's capable of making some
Speaker 1: great throws, and he's got a pretty good amount of
Speaker 1: wide receivers, not just in the wide receiver group, at
Speaker 1: the running back room, in the tight end room. All right,
Speaker 1: Logs let's come back. We'll get into some of the
Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive guys that could be back on the field
Speaker 1: this week, and a couple of guys who stood in
Speaker 1: their place last week and played pretty well, and we'll
Speaker 1: see if they have a role moving ahead. Tony Boselli

Speaker 1: Jeff Flaghuman, Tony Baselli joins us now from way out
Speaker 1: in antavidra Tony good after what oh, what's going on? Oh?
Speaker 1: You know, getting ready for week six. That's that's about it.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the offense coming up. I know Tony,
Speaker 1: you had plenty of comments about the offensive Monday's show,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm guessing you might have a few ideas
Speaker 1: or comments about this week, so we'll get to that
Speaker 1: coming up. We want to continue this defensive conversation Logs
Speaker 1: and I we're having. We're talking about the Lions, guys,
Speaker 1: but let's shift it over to the Jaguars now. There
Speaker 1: was a trade this week. The Jaguars traded sixth round
Speaker 1: pick for Kamala Karea, linebacker of the Titans, and the
Speaker 1: Titans seventh round pick is coming back first off, Logs,
Speaker 1: What kind of deal is this? What kind of players?
Speaker 1: Karea and Cassius Marsh was cut today? But let me
Speaker 1: start with with the cut Cassius Marsh. I think almost
Speaker 1: every week you'd watch him, you'd see him be out
Speaker 1: of position and have a mental error. And if you're
Speaker 1: gonna make mental ayrors on on a football team and
Speaker 1: you're not a great player, you're not gonna last long.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why they decided to try to
Speaker 1: find out what they could about Karea and kareas What
Speaker 1: kind of a player is he? He's a He's a
Speaker 1: try hard type of guy, plays hard, plays physical. Is uh,
Speaker 1: probably not super athletic and not super fast, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna give you everything he has, and he's gonna be
Speaker 1: consistent and right now, you'll take consistent and somebody that's
Speaker 1: not gonna make a whole lot of mistakes. And he
Speaker 1: does give you a little bit of pass rush. Uh.
Speaker 1: He's not a big time pass rusher, but he does
Speaker 1: give you a little bit. Yeah, he is a you know,
Speaker 1: he's a UM. He'll be consistent, but not impactful. If
Speaker 1: that I mean, he's not gonna change the game. Um,
Speaker 1: where all of a sudden like wow, I mean that's
Speaker 1: what you'd expect. I mean, he gave up a six rounder,
Speaker 1: you got a seventh back and the player so but
Speaker 1: he slid. I mean, you know he I think Police
Speaker 1: started his career at the Saints and then went to Titans. Um,
Speaker 1: he's a guy who you know, I think he's probably
Speaker 1: he's more physical than marsh Um. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: as athletic as marsh Um. He's a average pass rusher. Um,
Speaker 1: but I mean he's a solid player. I mean I
Speaker 1: think it's an upgrade. Yeah. I wish that mar you know,
Speaker 1: J P an Tony, I wish that marsh just didn't
Speaker 1: have the mental errors because I mean he's got he's
Speaker 1: got some physical attributes. I mean, he he's got the
Speaker 1: flexibility to play special teams. He's athletic and fast enough
Speaker 1: to do that. He's athletic and fast enough to play linebacker.
Speaker 1: He actually has some decent pass rush technique. But if
Speaker 1: if you're I'm not sure of what you're doing, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna have mental airs and it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: hard to keep a guy in that capacity. And you know,
Speaker 1: the one thing I will say about Corea is watching
Speaker 1: him Tuesday night, and also we had to watch had
Speaker 1: a chance to watch a little bit of film on
Speaker 1: him leading up to the Titans, and he didn't see
Speaker 1: the fill a ton, but we gotta to see a
Speaker 1: little bit of film. He's not moving quite as well,
Speaker 1: is what I've seen a move in the past. And
Speaker 1: maybe that's just because of the limited reps. Sometimes a
Speaker 1: guy is trying to get into shape and he has
Speaker 1: atendency to playing self into shape. But I wanna be
Speaker 1: anxious to watch him, you know, because he definitely gives
Speaker 1: you a great motor, great intensity and a physical presence.
Speaker 1: But can he be athletic enough and and and good
Speaker 1: enough to give you a boost? Oh Jeff, you bring
Speaker 1: up a great point. I think about it. He's coming
Speaker 1: from a Tennessee Titan team that it's not like they're
Speaker 1: very good on defense, and they played better on Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: Before that, they were not good at all, and he
Speaker 1: couldn't get on the field rare in division trade. Let's
Speaker 1: move it forward a little bit here for the Jaguars
Speaker 1: defense and touch on a couple of guys who stood
Speaker 1: in last week in starting roles and performed pretty well.
Speaker 1: And I'm curious what kind of roles they will have
Speaker 1: moving forward after what they did last week in Houston.
Speaker 1: Sidney Jones obviously one of those, the cornerback who played
Speaker 1: very well obviously in the game in Houston, and Dwan
Speaker 1: Smoot who had a handful of quarterback hits in that game,
Speaker 1: and the old Jaguar's sack. What kind of role do
Speaker 1: you see from these guys, Tony, we'll start with your lives.
Speaker 1: We'll get to you next. Well, I think Sidney Jones
Speaker 1: is gonna come in and nickel. They'll move Trey Herndon
Speaker 1: into that nickel position and Sydney Jones will be the
Speaker 1: other outside corner. I mean, I assume you know C. J.
Speaker 1: Henderson will be the starter again. He practiced full participation today. Um,
Speaker 1: and so I think you'll, you know, in regular personnel
Speaker 1: first and second down, you'll have C. J. Henderson, Tray
Speaker 1: Herndon out there get into the nickel, which is about
Speaker 1: the snaps. I think Sydney Jones will be the other
Speaker 1: outside corner. As far as Wayne, I think he's he's
Speaker 1: a rotational player. He'll continue to be a rotational player. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And for for me, uh, watching Sydney Jones, I don't
Speaker 1: think there's anyway you can't start him in some capacity.
Speaker 1: This week. He just played too well. I mean, somebody
Speaker 1: tell me the last time a defensive back had an
Speaker 1: interception and out his hands on another one that was
Speaker 1: nearly intercepted, and then oh, by the way, he had
Speaker 1: about three past defense and was making contested catches with
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. I haven't seen that, Herndon. You haven't
Speaker 1: haven't seen that out of your first round draft pick rookie. Well, Jeff,
Speaker 1: for me, yeah, I know, but that was week one, Tony.
Speaker 1: This is now where when week five? You know. So
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you start him over your rookie.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that you have to have him on
Speaker 1: the field in some capacity that that means a reduced
Speaker 1: role for somebody else. Then that means a reduced role
Speaker 1: for somebody else. I mean game days about performance, and
Speaker 1: I think if you if you don't play a guy
Speaker 1: like him and give him more reps and more opportunities
Speaker 1: or a starting role, what are you telling your team, Uh, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a guy that plays really well, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't deserve an opportunity start. I think that's that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I think the same thing applies for Smooth, even when
Speaker 1: you get Josh Allen back and you've kind of had
Speaker 1: uh Calevan Chase on and Josh Allen on the field
Speaker 1: the same time. I think Smoot has earned the right
Speaker 1: after that last game, and he's got to continue to
Speaker 1: earn that right week after week. But he's earned the
Speaker 1: right to get more playtime and he may end up
Speaker 1: having in any way, you know, depending upon Josh Allen's health.
Speaker 1: But even if those guys weren't a question mark or
Speaker 1: didn't have any health issues, he deserves the right to
Speaker 1: play more. Yeah, but Jeff, I'm not. I mean they
Speaker 1: both played well as one game, and I mean you
Speaker 1: asked the question, when's the last time a defensive back
Speaker 1: did that? Well? Week one, Cjia Henderson did so. Um,
Speaker 1: but if you and I just don't see, I mean, CJ.
Speaker 1: Henderson is gonna start unless he's hurt, and he's not,
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine I'm not starting him. Um. Now you're
Speaker 1: saying you would bench Trey Herndon in first and second
Speaker 1: down and put Sidney Jones out there. Um, I guess
Speaker 1: possibly I wouldn't. I mean, the reality is you're in
Speaker 1: Nichols six times or whether um he's the actual official
Speaker 1: starter or not, he's gonna get a ton of reps
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play a lot of there. Um. As
Speaker 1: far as Smoot, I mean, there's no no chance. There's
Speaker 1: no chance he's starting the head of Josh Allen. Um.
Speaker 1: The reality is that Josh Allen, you're starting defensive end.
Speaker 1: And then the question is opposite him, is there gonna
Speaker 1: be Gostis or Smoot um as the starter. I'm fine
Speaker 1: with smoot being the starter. I think he's probably performed
Speaker 1: better than Gostis. Um, But they're there. It's they're both
Speaker 1: rotational players. To me, they're gonna split time. And you know,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see probably equal amount of reps by
Speaker 1: the end of the game with cabal On chase On,
Speaker 1: you know, coming down third down, some pass rush situations
Speaker 1: and being Josh Allen's backup. I mean, that's my guess.
Speaker 1: I mean, but you might be right. Maybe they make
Speaker 1: wholesale changes based on one game. No, I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about ifs having Smoot play over Josh Allen. That that's insanity,
Speaker 1: but I mean on the opposite side, for godsess, And
Speaker 1: then when you get to a subsituation, when you know,
Speaker 1: if you if you have let's say you're playing a
Speaker 1: bigger Nickel and you're looking for a defensive vent. I
Speaker 1: think right now, Smoot is giving you more as a
Speaker 1: pass rusher, more as a run defender than Caleban Chason.
Speaker 1: So I think that you know, when Josh is back,
Speaker 1: Josh is obviously out on the field, but then you
Speaker 1: would have to work Calevan into the rotation, but Smooth
Speaker 1: would be the primary guy. That's fair. I mean, I
Speaker 1: I can't argue. I mean, Cabon is not giving you
Speaker 1: a lot in the run game, especially pass rushing. He's athletic,
Speaker 1: but he's not in my opinion, he's still kind of
Speaker 1: honing his craft to be a natural pass rusher. So
Speaker 1: I think that's why he's very wrong. But I'll be
Speaker 1: interested to your point. I mean, Sidney Jones played really well. Um,
Speaker 1: his length, he has more speed than Trey Herndon. Um,
Speaker 1: do they bench Trey Herdon and just make him the
Speaker 1: full time nickel and start Sydney outside? My guesses? No,
Speaker 1: But you know he lost four in a row, giving
Speaker 1: up over thirty at least thirty or more points each
Speaker 1: of those games. You know why not? Yeah? Absolutely? One
Speaker 1: thing I liked It's about the way that Sydney Jones
Speaker 1: played is that he got his hands on receivers. And
Speaker 1: you've we've heard Todd Wash talk about that for a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks now, about how he wanted his defensive
Speaker 1: backs to get his hand their hands on people, obviously
Speaker 1: in a legal fashion, and the number of catches that
Speaker 1: even if the receiver made a catch over Sydney, he
Speaker 1: was right there to to contest the catch. And haven't
Speaker 1: seen that a ton from from Trey Herndon. And I
Speaker 1: like Trey Herndon. I mean I thought Trey Herndon as
Speaker 1: a nickel, trust me as a nickel. I thought Trey
Speaker 1: Herndon Antony. You remember the game, how physical he was
Speaker 1: coming up into the line of scrimmage, and I mean,
Speaker 1: great job, great job. So I just think maybe that,
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of maybe flip the rolls a
Speaker 1: little bit and let Tray be that nickel because DJ
Speaker 1: still on I R is gonna be out for a while.
Speaker 1: And let Sydney get more reps on at the corner spot.
Speaker 1: And and if that means starting Sydney, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: If it means rotating Sydney in more to lessen the
Speaker 1: reps that Trey Hernan gets at that corner position, whatever
Speaker 1: it takes, you know, just Sydney has earned more reps
Speaker 1: this week. We'll see if they give them to him.
Speaker 1: This week is the Jags face the Detroit Lions. Let's
Speaker 1: come back in a moment. We'll get into the offense
Speaker 1: again with Tony the Jags looking for more balance on
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. And yes, kickers, another
Speaker 1: kicker for the Jaguars will play this week. We'll get
Speaker 1: into the history of this many changes around the National

Speaker 1: wavers and a desire to win that a second to nine,
Speaker 1: we know a truck like that Ford f Series, America's
Speaker 1: best selling truck forty three years straight with impressive towing

Speaker 1: look easy. Visit your local Ford dealer for great offers
Speaker 1: on F one Official truck of the NFL based on
Speaker 1: seventy two thousand, nineteen calendar year total sales. No, I
Speaker 1: can't remember anything anything like this. I don't think anyone
Speaker 1: anyone who has been through anything like this as far
Speaker 1: as the people here, whether it's Joe d Comillis, Mike
Speaker 1: Mallory or any other coaches. So, uh, you know, it's unfortunate.
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, um and you want to be able
Speaker 1: to be able to do a better job coming in
Speaker 1: there when you have an opportunity. But I think there's
Speaker 1: a you know, there's a lot that goes into it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, of the of the other
Speaker 1: you know, the players that we've had have been injured.
Speaker 1: You know, they've gotten injured, which is is crazy it
Speaker 1: Coach Zugmarne asked about the kicking situation earlier this week
Speaker 1: and welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour j P. Shadrick, Jeff Loghuman,
Speaker 1: Tony Boselli the Doug Barone Show coming up at about
Speaker 1: eleven minutes from right now. At the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: m let's let well, let's get to the kickers and
Speaker 1: we'll move on to the office Tony to wrap the
Speaker 1: show here. The Jaguars, if if John Brown has an
Speaker 1: attempt this week for an extra point or a field goal,
Speaker 1: will be the first team in NFL history with five
Speaker 1: kickers to attempt a field goal or extra point in
Speaker 1: a five week stretch. It's never happened in league history,
Speaker 1: and for the Elias Sports Data Group, there are only
Speaker 1: four teams since the seventy merger that had five different
Speaker 1: players attempt a field goal or an extra point in
Speaker 1: a single season. The Jaguars will become the fifth all time.
Speaker 1: This is uncharted territory in the kicking game. Guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, it'll be John Brown's first kick
Speaker 1: ever in a game. He's never he didn't kick in
Speaker 1: high school. He played soccer, which he's a very good
Speaker 1: soccer player. Walked on it Louisville, I believe, after playing
Speaker 1: soccer Kentucky or or something, um and never never attempted
Speaker 1: a kick. And now he's gonna be rolled out in
Speaker 1: an NFL field on a Sunday in a game and
Speaker 1: he might have to pick the winning field goal. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it might be his first kick ever. People go,
Speaker 1: I mean, he might have a couple of p A
Speaker 1: T s. But it's it's fasting. I mean, I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like it. You see, you know what, It's
Speaker 1: happened in the NFL every once in a while, and
Speaker 1: I've been on teams like you have a run of
Speaker 1: injuries that one position group, Like maybe the offensive line
Speaker 1: gets beat up one year or you know, dbs or
Speaker 1: whatever it is, but never the kickers because they don't
Speaker 1: do enough to get like what do they do? But
Speaker 1: we've had hips and groins and everything else you can imagine.
Speaker 1: And it's one of those years that, boy, the kicking
Speaker 1: game will be interesting on Sunday. It's been an adventure
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. Yeah, I think that Josh Goby
Speaker 1: on a start working out because he's next. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: probably could. I mean Josh still looks to be in shape.
Speaker 1: But I mean this is, uh, you're you're getting You're
Speaker 1: getting pretty far down the line when you're when you're
Speaker 1: signing the kicker who essentially had a couple of stints
Speaker 1: with I think the Cincinnati Bengals in the San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty Niners, but hasn't kicked in in a real NFL game,
Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, I mean this is uh, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be crazy. I mean Logan cook Is probably every day
Speaker 1: goes in and it has to remind himself of who
Speaker 1: he's talking to and who's his His kicker is I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just this crazy. But hopefully it doesn't come down
Speaker 1: to a kick like it did last week. I mean,
Speaker 1: last week you end up having house can end up
Speaker 1: missing a couple of kicks. It was critical in the
Speaker 1: ball game, be perfectly honest with the offense should have
Speaker 1: done better anyway to where they weren't in a situation
Speaker 1: of kicking field goals except for that one that was
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the first half, the
Speaker 1: long one. The rest of them though, they shouldn't even
Speaker 1: have been trying field goal. I asked Scobie the other day, Hey,
Speaker 1: what was the last time you you kicked a ball?
Speaker 1: He said, when Cargo shorts were cool. So it's been
Speaker 1: a while and I think he's out. He's not coming
Speaker 1: back anytime. So uh, speaking of the offense, Uh, the
Speaker 1: big talk this week, bow is the balance. J Gruden
Speaker 1: wants to get back to that balance. They didn't have
Speaker 1: that last week. Forty nine passing attempts from Minshew, eight
Speaker 1: or what thirteen rushes for James Robinson. That's gotta be
Speaker 1: a little more equal for this offense to really hum
Speaker 1: and Gruden said it himself. Between attempts from Minshew is
Speaker 1: ideal oh, this is the third week in the row
Speaker 1: they're playing a defense. It's just awful. It's back back
Speaker 1: weeks where it's the last it's the lowest rated defensive
Speaker 1: rushing defense in the NFL. The only reason the Texans
Speaker 1: aren't in last place because they we didn't run the
Speaker 1: ball against them. UM, So I don't think there should
Speaker 1: be balanced JP. I think it should be an in balance,
Speaker 1: and in balance should be giving the ball to James
Speaker 1: Robinson and whoever else you have back there, Chris Thompson
Speaker 1: or I mean, I don't care who it is. This
Speaker 1: is a bad rush defense. And we way to bad
Speaker 1: rush defense last week, and for whatever reason, um, we
Speaker 1: decided to get away from it, and um that needs
Speaker 1: to change this week. Being balanced the other way to
Speaker 1: two consecutive games to where you had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: maintain balance and you didn't do it. And I think
Speaker 1: the disappointing thing is that you talked about it. You know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't like something that you just didn't You weren't
Speaker 1: aware of and and you weren't trying trying to attain
Speaker 1: some balance, and and this past week now you just
Speaker 1: you didn't have any balance. And James Robinson came out,
Speaker 1: he looked good. The offensive line was doing good, and
Speaker 1: to be honestly, you I mean run it. I mean
Speaker 1: the tackles were handling J. J. Watt, they were missing
Speaker 1: a run stuffing powerful linebacker and Bernardrick McKinney, you know. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just trying to figure out what it
Speaker 1: was that they saw that they said, Okay, let's just
Speaker 1: throw the foot ball more. But you know, hopefully this
Speaker 1: week they get back to some balance and hopefully James
Speaker 1: Robinson can can really have a breakout game because he's
Speaker 1: because he has a lot of opportunity, you know, because
Speaker 1: I think he's capable of of controlling a football game,
Speaker 1: and I think the offensive line is capable of controlling
Speaker 1: the football game. And obviously you still have to throw
Speaker 1: the ball occasionally, but I mean you can't just come
Speaker 1: out and run a ball of the time, but you've
Speaker 1: got to have I think when you when you talk
Speaker 1: about balance, I think in last week's game, even a
Speaker 1: week before that, and then this week against the Detroit lines,
Speaker 1: I think you need to find a way to be
Speaker 1: and I think that should be a goal that you
Speaker 1: you should meet. Yeah, this won't be like the Steelers
Speaker 1: regular season game and seventeen at the end of the
Speaker 1: game where they ran late what fourteen straight times for
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Remember that? Not feel like that? I don't
Speaker 1: think Maybe why shouldn't they? I mean, I mean they've
Speaker 1: been imbalanced with throwing the ball and they have not
Speaker 1: been effective. I mean, they're not scoring points if you
Speaker 1: look at it, and they're they're struggling in the red zone.
Speaker 1: At least last week they did, So why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: run it more? I mean, I'm not I'll go back
Speaker 1: to what Jeff said about, you know, why not start
Speaker 1: Sydney Jones? Why not give more reps me based on um,
Speaker 1: what they did last week? I mean I would, I
Speaker 1: would really look at you're playing a terrible defense. They
Speaker 1: can't stop the run, run the ball being balanced that way, right.
Speaker 1: We we get Tony's take on this, that's pretty obvious
Speaker 1: what he would like to see, uh this week and
Speaker 1: we'll see if the Jaguars can can balance things out.
Speaker 1: So uh, we asked Logs at the top of the
Speaker 1: show this, but Tony, are are partying shot with you?
Speaker 1: This is a game, you know, four straight losses. It's
Speaker 1: a young team. They need to get some shot of
Speaker 1: confidence somehow and get a winning result this week obviously
Speaker 1: to kind of get back on the right track here,
Speaker 1: because uh, it can slide pretty quickly. But so far
Speaker 1: as you heard Gardners say, they feel like they're kind
Speaker 1: of keeping things together, but they need a winning result
Speaker 1: to kind of pay it all off. It feels like, yeah,
Speaker 1: winning cures everything. And I mean these losses are stacking up,
Speaker 1: and I think they've been bad, boss in the last
Speaker 1: few weeks. Um, you gotta find a way to you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to play good on both
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. I thought the defense played pretty
Speaker 1: well last week for three quarters. Offense gave them nothing,
Speaker 1: didn't do anything to help him out. Um, here comes
Speaker 1: to the Detroit lines, and they got talent. I mean
Speaker 1: they got I mean Stafford might be a little bit
Speaker 1: shaky as far as protecting the ball, but guy I
Speaker 1: can play quarterback holiday there wide receiver is a big
Speaker 1: time player. I mean they have decent um offensive line,
Speaker 1: and uh, this is not an easy matchup. It's not
Speaker 1: a great team as far as record wise. But you
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to get a win somehow, some way.
Speaker 1: I gotta get it done. This week logs. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I think this is a tough matchup for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and and reason I say that you got to match Stafford.
Speaker 1: And if it's not a tough match up, if you
Speaker 1: can keep match Stafford from performing better than he has
Speaker 1: recently because his feet have been bad, his accuracy hasn't
Speaker 1: been great. But if he's on and if he's playing better,
Speaker 1: which the Jaguars have allowed over seventy completion rate, he's
Speaker 1: got a lot of weapons and across the board, and
Speaker 1: that concerns me alright. So that's the final word on
Speaker 1: the Jags Lions match up this Sunday at t I
Speaker 1: a bank field of one o'clock kickoff time, but no
Speaker 1: Thursday night football tonight, Tony, So it's now on a
Speaker 1: Monday night. About then. Things are changing. It's the world
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, and you know what, uh to sit
Speaker 1: back and don't make too many plans because it can
Speaker 1: change at any moment. They can, And we'll obviously try
Speaker 1: to get you back on those broadcasts as soon as
Speaker 1: as possible and we'll hear about the games as we
Speaker 1: move ahead here. So that'll do it for Jaguars Happy Hour,
