Speaker 1: It is Thursday, November. This is Jaguars Happy Hour, and
Speaker 1: now a guy who demands to be saluted in the
Speaker 1: hallway j P. Welcome in Jaguar's Happy Hour from the
Speaker 1: Upper West Club at t I A. Bank Field, j P, Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockerman, Leon Searcy. We've got quite a program today
Speaker 1: coming up for you from the Solutionist Service Month. We're
Speaker 1: upstairs today because of St. Michael's Soldiers. They're putting care
Speaker 1: packages together for troops. Jim Signarelli with St. Michael's Soldiers
Speaker 1: with US now and Fields Cadillac. Good to see a Jim,
Speaker 1: what's up. Thanks for coming in today. Good to have
Speaker 1: you here. And this is you know, when we saw
Speaker 1: this event, I'm like, you know, okay, it's care packages.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a few people milling around, some tables
Speaker 1: who were in the Upper West Club here. There's all
Speaker 1: kind of volunteers. The entire team's coming up tonight. Absolutely
Speaker 1: last year we did this for about two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty care packages, about thirty volunteers and six players. Uh
Speaker 1: Jack's reached out and said let's blow it up for
Speaker 1: huddle for one and now we're looking at a thousand
Speaker 1: care packages, two hundred and fifty volunteers and the entire roster.
Speaker 1: So really kind of a kink for us for sure.
Speaker 1: Who exactly to the care care packages go to. They
Speaker 1: go deployed all over the year. They got all over
Speaker 1: all over the world, the Afghanistan, Bahrain, Japan, anybody that
Speaker 1: requests the package. Sometimes there's CEOs or request packages and
Speaker 1: they're all Christmas place. They got a nice car, nice snacks,
Speaker 1: just to something to warm up their feelings at the holidays.
Speaker 1: That's that's gotta always be, especially during the holidays, but
Speaker 1: specially with things came and coming around in Christmas coming
Speaker 1: around for our soldier that's deployed overseas to get a
Speaker 1: care package. What motivates you to put this sign of
Speaker 1: a program together? You know, that's our tenth year of
Speaker 1: the Stuffing Stockings for Soldiers program. And uh, you know
Speaker 1: Kath used to send them cifically, used to send them
Speaker 1: to Boy Scout troops and relatives, stuff like that that
Speaker 1: we're out there, and she got a calling to do
Speaker 1: it full time and we've been shipping them ever since.
Speaker 1: And and sometimes it's the only thing somebody gets, and
Speaker 1: sometimes it's they get multiple things, and she's heard letters
Speaker 1: and stories of stuff that said, you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: open it because Christmas was coming and I knew would
Speaker 1: be the only thing I got. The letters and the
Speaker 1: pictures and all this stuff we get back is absolutely incredible. Guys.
Speaker 1: It was pretty pretty unique coming up here just a
Speaker 1: minute ago. On every table up here, first of all,
Speaker 1: you got the box that where all the boxers and
Speaker 1: their care packagers are gonna get stuff with all kinds
Speaker 1: of goodies. But then on all the tables up there
Speaker 1: there there are cards, and so everybody can choose to
Speaker 1: fill out a card. I saw Tom Coughlin fill it out,
Speaker 1: So tell people what the card is all about. So
Speaker 1: the cards a personal note from who's ever packing these boxes.
Speaker 1: So tonight's really kind of unique. We're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to everybody's gonna work every station. So somebody's gonna make
Speaker 1: a box, somebody's gonna do the bubble wrap, someone's gonna
Speaker 1: put some bio freese in a bag, someone's gonna make
Speaker 1: a candy bag. Someone's gonna write a card, somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: pack a box. And everybody's gonna get to touch every
Speaker 1: level this air package and get and send some love
Speaker 1: overseas for sure. Is this the biggest care package event
Speaker 1: you guys have had by far? The most we've ever
Speaker 1: done in the day is probably two to try to
Speaker 1: organize this many volunteers and and do it mobile. We
Speaker 1: usually do it at the dealership, you know, and it's
Speaker 1: all static. We had to rent trucks and get a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. Man, it's it's it's it's it's working
Speaker 1: out pretty good. You're gonna pay off, for sure. You
Speaker 1: guys do a lot of stuff obviously for deployed troops
Speaker 1: as we see here, but you also do a lot
Speaker 1: for first sponders in the North Florida and South Georgia
Speaker 1: areas here. And part of that was that helps somebody.
Speaker 1: Three concert this past weekend down an Orange Park. Uh,
Speaker 1: it was a load of fun. By the way, how
Speaker 1: was that was the turnout for that show? And what
Speaker 1: did you guys see at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: You know, we have fantastic We sold that Thrasher horn out. Uh,
Speaker 1: thirty eight special played an extra half hour because they
Speaker 1: were having so much fun. And Brett Meyers is Brett Meyers.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody knows Brett Meyers. This is
Speaker 1: he he is. We just call that being Brett and
Speaker 1: the Kurt Town Band and my brother in law's band, Pentogram.
Speaker 1: Really successful night, sold the place out and made a
Speaker 1: bunch of money to make this kind of stuff possible. Awesome, man,
Speaker 1: this is fantastic stuff. Where at the Upper West Club
Speaker 1: at t I A. Bank Field, Jim Signarelli with us
Speaker 1: from St. Michael Soldier's fantastic event tonight. A thousand care
Speaker 1: packages going out, two volunte years at the entire Jaguars roster.
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't happen every day, Jim, It's ever happened
Speaker 1: for me. I got, I got chased ten fifteen guys,
Speaker 1: and that's a really good night for me. Right now,
Speaker 1: you get all fifty three plus probably the practice squad
Speaker 1: guys as well, some coaches. I'm sure it might have
Speaker 1: a hand in it too, you'll probab see Doug marrone
Speaker 1: coming up. That's that's nearly unprecedented, has to be, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's an incredible outpouring of a feeling for
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do at the at the holidays.
Speaker 1: For these guys, I mean, you know, if it isn't
Speaker 1: for them, they fight for our freedom every day and
Speaker 1: without them, you know, we're not here. So let's take
Speaker 1: care of my Christmas time. Just the crazy I did
Speaker 1: see there were some men and women servicemen and women
Speaker 1: that are here. Absolutely, they're actually the other side of
Speaker 1: the wall here. They're playing video games with players too
Speaker 1: in the pros versus g I Joe's venue, So it's
Speaker 1: going on both sides. It's a little crazy. Well what
Speaker 1: are they playing? Play video games? Everybody plays, and they
Speaker 1: are playing Call of Duty too, I think, okay, would
Speaker 1: that be fair? It's probably not fair. Yeah, it's probably
Speaker 1: not fair when you gotta you know, men and women
Speaker 1: of the service, they're probably yeah, that's what happens. Jim,
Speaker 1: great to see you, well done, and good luck tonight.
Speaker 1: Let's get these packages out there. Than Jim Cigarelli, you're
Speaker 1: joining us from St. Michael's Soldiers, Uh, Jaguars, Happy our
Speaker 1: rolls along here, JP, Shadrick, Jeff Lagham, and Leon Sarcy.
Speaker 1: Great stuff man, Jim's Jim and his wife Kathleen put
Speaker 1: on a fantastic charity here and they do a great
Speaker 1: job with all their events around and uh, this is
Speaker 1: by far the biggest one yet. The entire team is
Speaker 1: coming up. Are let's talk a little football now, guys,
Speaker 1: shall we? We'll have some special player guests coming up
Speaker 1: and just a little bit. But obviously the biggest news
Speaker 1: this week is Nick Foles is back and it's his
Speaker 1: first game back since Week one, and it sounds like
Speaker 1: they haven't really missed a beat with him being in
Speaker 1: the building not on the field. Uh, sounds like everybody's
Speaker 1: kind of ready for him to roll. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of players have talked very highly of Nick Foles
Speaker 1: and also have talked very highly about how practice has
Speaker 1: been executed so far. But the reality is the proof
Speaker 1: is into putting when it comes to game day. And Uh,
Speaker 1: the one thing I think that gives me hope for
Speaker 1: this football team because the margin for air at this
Speaker 1: point in the season for the Jaguars, now that A're
Speaker 1: sitting at four and five, it's so small. And can
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's cold, so to speak, come off of
Speaker 1: the bench so to speak, really injured reserve and fire
Speaker 1: on all sellers and lead a team to some victories
Speaker 1: here down the stretch, which they are solely needed for
Speaker 1: this team to get back and playoff contention, Most guys,
Speaker 1: I would say, hey, Look, that's that's too tall of
Speaker 1: the task. Leon. But we're talking about Nick Foles, who's
Speaker 1: kind of become accustomed to that. Well, I tell you why,
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you. For me, this feels
Speaker 1: like Week one all over again because Week one the
Speaker 1: anticipation Nick Foles eight and all of man. But I
Speaker 1: think there's some question marks have been answered. We were
Speaker 1: concerned about the receiving court, offensive line was learning from that.
Speaker 1: Gonna be healthy when he's gonna be able to come back. Now,
Speaker 1: all those are components that are in place, right though,
Speaker 1: opens a lines playing decent. Lennards had a banner year
Speaker 1: running the ball in our of the backfield. The receiving
Speaker 1: call has been impressive. Now you're placing Nick Foles and
Speaker 1: you see what happens. You know, and I used to
Speaker 1: I labeled him saying Nick because always this time of
Speaker 1: the year, late November, signers guy say so saying this
Speaker 1: guy to slay a little early in the mid November.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna see what And he has the resume,
Speaker 1: especially in November. He has the resume taking over a
Speaker 1: team lead him into the playoffs for the last two years.
Speaker 1: So I think the expectations of the fan base should
Speaker 1: be high as well as it is for me. I
Speaker 1: would like to see what he can do with this
Speaker 1: team moving forward with the next seven game. Let's hear
Speaker 1: what Nick Foles had to say about November December games
Speaker 1: are big, certainly are for this quarterback. It's harder. Guys
Speaker 1: have been playing for a long time. More and more
Speaker 1: is on the line. Uh, you know, offenses and teams
Speaker 1: and cultures have been developed. Um, you never know each
Speaker 1: year the team's developing culture. It doesn't matter if you
Speaker 1: have your team returning. That ten per cent will affect
Speaker 1: a culture and you have to bring them along. So
Speaker 1: at this point, you know the cultures are really been created. Um.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest challenge of stepping back in there and
Speaker 1: just playing football when it's been a while. Um. But
Speaker 1: I look forward to the challenge because the guys that
Speaker 1: get to step in the huddle with and you know,
Speaker 1: be with on the sidelines. Yeah, December and November games,
Speaker 1: as you heard, the quarterbacks stay, they're are just hard,
Speaker 1: they're tougher and were more at stake in December. And
Speaker 1: it seems like in his past at least he's stepped
Speaker 1: up to that challenge. Well, I looked at it like this,
Speaker 1: It didn't matter really in my opinion, what guard the
Speaker 1: miss you did against the Houston Texas. I think it
Speaker 1: you know, whether it had one. And I think that
Speaker 1: at this point of the season, in November, where the
Speaker 1: stakes are much higher, where everybody's jockey for positions and
Speaker 1: for the playoffs, I just think that maybe the organization
Speaker 1: felt that Nick Foles, if he was healthy after the bye,
Speaker 1: would give them more of an opportunity to move as
Speaker 1: far as the games go. I know, everybody boy in
Speaker 1: the miss you made it was it was at the
Speaker 1: at the at the top of the of the of
Speaker 1: the mountaintop when it when it was good. But I
Speaker 1: think that once you get to this point and seeing
Speaker 1: and lock a man, we both played, we had playoff
Speaker 1: runs in November, we understand that the the intensity rises,
Speaker 1: the speed rises, um the execution, the attention to detail,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. I just felt that maybe
Speaker 1: they would have felt a little bit more comfortable having
Speaker 1: Nick Foles in that spot than maybe our gardener mission. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what necessarily would have happened if minshe
Speaker 1: had lit it up against against Houston. I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe you stay for another week with Gardner Minshew and
Speaker 1: then and then you go to Nick. But I think
Speaker 1: what we saw against Houston, if if it did or
Speaker 1: if it didn't, impact their decision, I don't know that
Speaker 1: we're We're not involved in that decision making process, but
Speaker 1: I think it was very apparent in that game. Some
Speaker 1: of the shortcomings that Gardner Minshew has, and a lot
Speaker 1: of them are experienced related, you know. There there was
Speaker 1: some plays that I was able to highlight last week
Speaker 1: on film to where he missed some things. He missed
Speaker 1: some open guys, he missed some reads. And then some
Speaker 1: of the accuracy that cropped up in that ball game
Speaker 1: which led to the interceptions were problematic. And the one
Speaker 1: thing I think that the team is excited about is
Speaker 1: that this offense was custom Taylor to Nick Foles. It
Speaker 1: was built for Nick Foles. Everything that they installed had
Speaker 1: Nick Foles in mind. They didn't do anything in this
Speaker 1: offense when they built it that was designed for Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: So I think they're excited to see that in play
Speaker 1: with Nick Foles behind the ship so to speaks, wheel
Speaker 1: of of driving it and uh, and I'm excited to
Speaker 1: watch it, you know, but I still have concerns. You know,
Speaker 1: it was a non throwing shoulder clavical injury. Human nature
Speaker 1: is will will he shy away from contact? Will he
Speaker 1: stand in there like he did when he threw that
Speaker 1: touchdown past the d j h R against Kansas City
Speaker 1: with a big guy bearing down on I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, those are all the things that
Speaker 1: I think that that have to be answered on the
Speaker 1: field of play in Indianapolis. And I think, much like Leon,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about I'm excited about seeing it. I'm excited
Speaker 1: about seeing how he looks in this offense, how he
Speaker 1: reacts to coming back from an injury, how his teammates
Speaker 1: respond to him running the show, because you know, look,
Speaker 1: the reality is they need him and they need him
Speaker 1: to play at a high level if they're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to reach their goals of the season, which is
Speaker 1: playoffs and playoffs. Right now, the the windows very small
Speaker 1: has gotten smaller with that lost to Houston in London.
Speaker 1: Now because right now you have what it was wanted
Speaker 1: to division record. You have a three and four conference record,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of other teams in the FC
Speaker 1: that are in a little bit better position than the
Speaker 1: Jaguars right now, no doubt about that. He said that
Speaker 1: full speaking of the shoulder and the classical and all
Speaker 1: they said when he walks through metal detectors. Now he
Speaker 1: beats going to the airport. He gets to meet some
Speaker 1: more people because he had some hardware put in there
Speaker 1: to keep that classical together, which is pretty interest. Hey,
Speaker 1: Jackson Deville's here as well as we do Jaguars Happy

Speaker 1: This is for St. Michael's Soldiers care package of vent
Speaker 1: about two volunteers, and then the entire Jaguars football team
Speaker 1: will be up here tonight loading care packages for troops
Speaker 1: deployed overseas. The Jags have the Colts this Sunday and
Speaker 1: Week eleven at Lucas Oil Stadiums from special guests joining
Speaker 1: us here in just a little bit as well. Thanks
Speaker 1: to Jim Signorelli from St. Michael's Soldiers and Fields Cadillac
Speaker 1: for jumping on with us a little earlier in this
Speaker 1: game in the show. Uh. This game coming up Sunday,
Speaker 1: the Jags and the Colts and a huge swing game
Speaker 1: obviously in the division. Jacks forward five if they win
Speaker 1: there all of a sudden in second place. It's a
Speaker 1: Colts team though that lost last week to the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: They didn't have the quarterback, they didn't have a handful
Speaker 1: of receivers, and they somehow lost that game to Miami
Speaker 1: to to kind of bring them back close to the
Speaker 1: Jaguars here. Jacoby Brissette's going to be back, but he
Speaker 1: does have a knee issue, that's obvious. He's on the
Speaker 1: report still. Um when he's right, when he's ready, Why
Speaker 1: is Jacoby Brissette successful. Well, I mean, if you look
Speaker 1: at him rating wise around the quarter with the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, he's in the top half.
Speaker 1: We're we're talking about a young player here, and he's
Speaker 1: the twelfth grade and pass from the National Football League.
Speaker 1: And I think, uh, not having him was certainly on
Speaker 1: display last week when they had Brian Horror at quarterback
Speaker 1: who fumbled the ball, had three interceptions and if he
Speaker 1: had done anything then anything other than the horrific performance
Speaker 1: that he had, the Cults would have beaten the Miami Dolphin.
Speaker 1: But I mean he he was terrible. I mean, I
Speaker 1: mean I'm talking world class terrible, to the point where
Speaker 1: the fans were starting to beg for the third team
Speaker 1: quarterback boy, And that's not a good situation in Annaple.
Speaker 1: So Jacoby bros Said, I don't know if he's a
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. I think that's just well, well, when not
Speaker 1: yet he's their starting quarterback. I mean, when you start
Speaker 1: talking about is he a franchise quarterback? Uh, they have
Speaker 1: hopes that he can be the franchise quarterback because of
Speaker 1: the early retirement when they had luck, but he has
Speaker 1: yet to prove that he can be that guy. But
Speaker 1: he's certainly shown that he has the potential to maybe
Speaker 1: be a franchise type quarterback. Didn't they give him twenty
Speaker 1: million to the weekend of the season, and I think they, yeah,
Speaker 1: they bumped this since he was gonna be the starter,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what it was value wise per year. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well listen to an Appolis Colsa in the same position
Speaker 1: where in a single elimination games, all right, moving forward,
Speaker 1: they can't afford to lose me again. And like you said, wait,
Speaker 1: Horria played last week. You had to do whatever you
Speaker 1: needed to do to get birth, to get Jacoby out
Speaker 1: there for this game because the Jaguars in the in
Speaker 1: the coach in the situation where Jaguars win, coach losing
Speaker 1: o their five and five, that's time with us and
Speaker 1: the Titans, you know what I'm saying. So we're moving forward.
Speaker 1: All these games are that more important if you can
Speaker 1: have your quarterback in place. And Jacoby will saying, I
Speaker 1: mean he was what four teen touchdowns through the substance
Speaker 1: about six percent completion and like it was, like you
Speaker 1: said a lot of them to say he was probably
Speaker 1: on the top half as far as quarterback play. Goals.
Speaker 1: So they're they're listen. They're playing with their best. We're
Speaker 1: bringing in our best. That's gonna be a nice little clash.
Speaker 1: And whoever wins, we win, we're back in the thick
Speaker 1: of it. They lose, they we bring them down the
Speaker 1: notcha tu. So it's gonna be very interesting, and I
Speaker 1: think it's a great challenge for this Jaguars football team
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. From watching the film of the Colts, I
Speaker 1: think their defense a couple of years ago, I thought,
Speaker 1: talent wise, it might have been one of the worst
Speaker 1: defenses in the National Football League. And I think Chris Ballard,
Speaker 1: their general manager, has done a pretty good job with
Speaker 1: drafting guys and also supplementing in free agency. I mean, heck,
Speaker 1: they added Justin Houston this past year. He's one of
Speaker 1: the best pass rushers in the National Football League. He's
Speaker 1: got I believe, seven sacks for them. He's had I
Speaker 1: think a second five consecutive games. He was really dominant
Speaker 1: last week against the Miami Dolphins. Uh. They're young, they're hungry,
Speaker 1: they play hard on defense and an offensively, look, he's
Speaker 1: done a great job of building that offensive line. He's
Speaker 1: added a couple of guys through the draft last year
Speaker 1: and Bradon Smith and obviously the big man Quenton Nelson
Speaker 1: from Notre Dame last year. And he's an absolute beast,
Speaker 1: arguably one of the best guards that I've ever seen
Speaker 1: play the game ever. I mean, look, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to to be crazy here, Leon, and and
Speaker 1: you know, offensive line play as good as anybody. But
Speaker 1: I have never watched film and have gone I've got
Speaker 1: to watch a guard. There was one guy in the
Speaker 1: league that I watched a lot of when um, when
Speaker 1: I turned the film on, and that was Larry Allen
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys and big strong, make people look
Speaker 1: bad and uh and Larry Allen as good as he
Speaker 1: was at guard, I mean, I mean tremendous guard. He
Speaker 1: put him. At tackle, he wasn't nearly as good, but
Speaker 1: then watching him a guard, he was incredible. And watching
Speaker 1: this this young guard played football in Indianapolis. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of funny, Leon. When I watched film, I watched
Speaker 1: the play and then I hit rewind and I go
Speaker 1: back and I watched Clinton Nelson every play. That's how
Speaker 1: good he is. I don't want to see him. Craziness
Speaker 1: saying this, but Quenton Nelson maybe like the first four
Speaker 1: or five six games of the season should have been
Speaker 1: one of the top fives's m v P. Now, I
Speaker 1: know that sounds crazy for offense, but he is that
Speaker 1: dominating of a left guard. Like you said when I
Speaker 1: only the only two guys I used to envy when
Speaker 1: I used to watch film, but I wished if the
Speaker 1: blocked live was Jonathan Obden and Larry Allen. I used
Speaker 1: to watch them and being, oh, how menacing they were
Speaker 1: at the position. This kid Nelson as as as hard
Speaker 1: as it from my heart saying or not the damn guy.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. This this this dude from jump, it's awesome.
Speaker 1: And you just think about what they did that that
Speaker 1: shows you that you can bring in a character guy.
Speaker 1: Because the Coost office and line was terrible on Andrew
Speaker 1: Love go back two years ago. They were terrible. But
Speaker 1: you're bringing a guy like this and his mentality and
Speaker 1: his mindset and his toughness, it becomes contagious on the
Speaker 1: office line because if you see him getting down the business,
Speaker 1: you need to up your game up or you'll get
Speaker 1: called out. So that there's no mistaken why this office
Speaker 1: line is a lot better and It has a lot
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that Nelson is there. I
Speaker 1: left on and that's that's the focused point for the
Speaker 1: Jaguars in this game. And obviously one of the great
Speaker 1: keys is that you've got to stop the running attack,
Speaker 1: the rushing attack of the Indianapolis Colts at Marlon Mack.
Speaker 1: If you don't do that, if you allow Marlon Mac
Speaker 1: to become like Carlos Hide was weeks ago in London,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win this ball game. You've got to
Speaker 1: be able to stop the run and try to put
Speaker 1: as much pressure on a quarterback that has an m
Speaker 1: c L injury, to put as much pressure on him
Speaker 1: as you possibly can. Because the Jaguars defense we've seen. Look,
Speaker 1: they had a three week stretch to where they went
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, the No. Orleans Saints, and then the Jets
Speaker 1: to where they gave themselves a chance to win the
Speaker 1: game because they did a great job of stopping the run.
Speaker 1: If you don't do the same thing against this football
Speaker 1: team in Indiana, Apisode will be a tough day. But
Speaker 1: as we saw in those big games on the ground
Speaker 1: against this Jaguars defense, it only takes a misassignment here,
Speaker 1: one guy out of position, going too far, maybe trying
Speaker 1: to do too much, and boom, it's gone. It's a
Speaker 1: house call, and in a perfect look at first of all,
Speaker 1: one guy can make a mistake, but it should never
Speaker 1: be a house call like what we're talking about. Because
Speaker 1: the play you're referring to what Carlos High breaks out
Speaker 1: the long run against the Jaguars in London, and it
Speaker 1: was a simple check. And then you have a defensive
Speaker 1: tackle that's sinking down to the A gap. Ronnie Harrison,
Speaker 1: who's the safety, has to adjust. He doesn't. He misses
Speaker 1: his gap, and when he misses his gap, calls Hide
Speaker 1: is out the gate and off to the races. You know.
Speaker 1: So when when you have an adjustment, a young player
Speaker 1: sometimes needs to hear that call, But you're getting better
Speaker 1: when the young player doesn't need to hear that call
Speaker 1: and he automatically anticipates that call and is making the
Speaker 1: call in his own mind. He's not relying on somebody
Speaker 1: else to say, hey, j P, we're sinking the tackle.
Speaker 1: You are now in the B gap. You know, as
Speaker 1: a young player, when they start to get it in
Speaker 1: their own mind and they don't have to rely on
Speaker 1: somebody else to give it to him. That's when you're
Speaker 1: starting making progress. And the Jaguars aren't there yet with
Speaker 1: some of the young safety play. But I think that
Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison is a pretty quick learner hopefully can get it,
Speaker 1: because if you have plays like that with Marlon Mack again,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long day. Yeah, And this team
Speaker 1: misses Marcella Darius is the alright, so see he feels
Speaker 1: in those gaps, especially when wearing game. So they they
Speaker 1: they've just gotta mix a match and get someone in
Speaker 1: there want to help him out. And Miles Jen's got
Speaker 1: played well at this point in the season. The teams
Speaker 1: that can run the ball and stop the run, all
Speaker 1: the teams that took that play well in over him
Speaker 1: d Slimble you'll see in January. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a great challenge for the Jaguars in this game
Speaker 1: from from the other perspective and that they need to
Speaker 1: get their running game going. Even though you have Nick
Speaker 1: Foles back in the lineup. You can't sit there and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna roll Nick Foles out, We're gonna throw for
Speaker 1: three hundred yards, we're gonna score twenty five points on
Speaker 1: the arm of our quarterback. You can't put that much
Speaker 1: pressure on Nick Foles. You gotta have a good, solid
Speaker 1: rushing attack. You have to give the ball to Leonard
Speaker 1: four net more than eleven times, which is what you
Speaker 1: gave it to him in Houston. And then to have
Speaker 1: an effective running game. And it's a challenge because Indianapolis
Speaker 1: was pretty good against the run. Hold some of those thoughts.
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back and hear from Leonard for Thatt,
Speaker 1: and that discussed the running game a little bit more
Speaker 1: for this Jaguars offense and see how they can continue
Speaker 1: to run the football down the stretch. Here we're at

Speaker 1: now and it's the Jaguars against the Chicago Bear. Josh
Speaker 1: Lambeau just kicked the field goal to go up seven
Speaker 1: over the Chicago on the road. Huh, Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, I mean playing on these big giants.
Speaker 1: I mean they're probably screen. It's huge. Yeah, it's pretty big.
Speaker 1: Pretty good stuff tonight, and thank you for joining us
Speaker 1: here on Jaguars Happy Hour. We heard from Leonard for
Speaker 1: Net there and you almost went there last segment, but
Speaker 1: I stopped you. You stop me because I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: four net has had a very good season. The running
Speaker 1: game is there for the most part, but with Fuls
Speaker 1: coming back, if they can open it up down the
Speaker 1: fields some do you guys think that can open up
Speaker 1: a little more for Leonard for that moving ahead, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean sure, uh, I mean Nick Foles. And I
Speaker 1: was reading Frank Reich's comments this week and he's obviously
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. He was the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator with Nick when they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: And his comments about Nick, when he got to the
Speaker 1: Knick's ability to throw the football deep, he was right.
Speaker 1: I thought he was pretty accurate, but but it was
Speaker 1: very revealing he said that he thinks that. And I'll
Speaker 1: read the quote to you because I wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure that I got it right. When we talked about
Speaker 1: him there, he said he's elite throwing the ball downfield
Speaker 1: as a passer. Elite. Elite means that you're one of
Speaker 1: the top three, four, maybe five guys in the league
Speaker 1: at throwing the deep ball. And that's the level of
Speaker 1: respect that Frank Wryight has for Nick FOLESO as a
Speaker 1: head coach of an opponent coming up, if he is
Speaker 1: expecting that, then what is he doing. He's gonna pull
Speaker 1: the safety back a little bit maybe and make sure
Speaker 1: that Nick Foles doesn't have that elite thrown ability on
Speaker 1: a deep ball, which may end up wakinging that run.
Speaker 1: Defense a little bit for Leonard Fournette. Yeah, absolutely, the
Speaker 1: best friend for Nick Foles going into this game is
Speaker 1: going to be a good rentegade we talked about earlier.
Speaker 1: You can't have the blunt of all the pressure or
Speaker 1: the burden on Nick. Volks were coming back from you know,
Speaker 1: haven't played until and a half months. So the offensive
Speaker 1: line learning from Nett, you know, their ability to to
Speaker 1: you know, I think the intermediate game, to show the
Speaker 1: intermediate game for Nick Fobles, I think to get into
Speaker 1: a nice little weather rhythm and ladder will probably be
Speaker 1: essential going to the game. It's good that he does
Speaker 1: have the deep ball, but I'm pretty sure that starting
Speaker 1: off in the game, he's gonna start with the short
Speaker 1: intermediate stuff. But the running game is gonna be what's
Speaker 1: gonna be a Central's gonna open up the lanes for
Speaker 1: him to try to take the shots down the field.
Speaker 1: So running the football, especially this time in November in December,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an essential to in the office because
Speaker 1: you don't ever want to be one to mention. The
Speaker 1: other thing I think I'm looking forward to when when
Speaker 1: Minshoe was the quarterback, we really saw the emergence of
Speaker 1: d J Chart because when Nick Foles was at the
Speaker 1: home before the injury, Chris Connley seemed to be kind
Speaker 1: of his favorite guy. And so with Nick coming back,
Speaker 1: hopefully he finds that he has two favorite targets because
Speaker 1: both of those guys have the ability to stretch the field,
Speaker 1: and so does Keelan Cole, you know. So, uh, look,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have some great speed at receiver. I mean
Speaker 1: they really do. They have four legitimate guys that can
Speaker 1: take the top off of defense and my fourth guy,
Speaker 1: c J Board in that equation, who's who's not active
Speaker 1: all the time, but when he is active, he can
Speaker 1: take the top off of the defense. And with a
Speaker 1: quarterback that has the deep ball ability like Nick Foles,
Speaker 1: it it's gonna be interesting to see how aggressive they
Speaker 1: are as an offense, you know, with him and that
Speaker 1: ability to throw the ball. Well. Being about that, uh,
Speaker 1: speaking of going back to for that. He was in
Speaker 1: the locker room today. We heard from him obviously earlier
Speaker 1: and I asked him, you know, you, this is the
Speaker 1: time of year we're in the past couple of years,
Speaker 1: you've been banged up a little bit or you know, not,
Speaker 1: things aren't going well and I've asked him, what's the
Speaker 1: difference this Year's well, well, the good lord and the
Speaker 1: training he did in the offseason to kind of get him.
Speaker 1: But back on track. He's keeping his weight down this
Speaker 1: year and he mentioned those things, and it's above the
Speaker 1: shoulders too. And then I asked him, you know, has
Speaker 1: the weight thing really been that? How much of a
Speaker 1: challenge has that been over here? Is He's like, well,
Speaker 1: I get up in the mornings, you feel good. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you want to eat a cookie. Well he doesn't. He
Speaker 1: doesn't do that anymore. He does better decisions for the
Speaker 1: football team. And I think that's a that's a maturing
Speaker 1: answer from Leonard Fournette. You know, I think he's done
Speaker 1: a tremendous job in leon You can point to all
Speaker 1: the training and all that that you want, but when
Speaker 1: a man's mind is right, it gives you the ability
Speaker 1: to perform at a higher level. And uh, in Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournette clearly is performing at his highest level that we've
Speaker 1: seen yet. Does he have another level that he can reach?
Speaker 1: I hope so, because I saw some things when he
Speaker 1: was at L s U that maybe just go loud.
Speaker 1: That's why I made the comment A couple of years
Speaker 1: ago that I thought he was a generation and running back.
Speaker 1: But uh, I think that's been the biggest change in
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette is what's going on upstairs. It's maturity and
Speaker 1: the two you use between the two shoulders, your brains.
Speaker 1: He's doing that. He's making wise decisions not only want
Speaker 1: to field, but off to you. And he understands, uh
Speaker 1: that this time in the NFL to short lived and
Speaker 1: you gotta maximize each and every season before because before
Speaker 1: you know it and lots no best before you know it.
Speaker 1: If things goes past, it goes by. And the last
Speaker 1: thing you wanted as a player to have any regrets.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want any regrets. And if he
Speaker 1: can control it, if he controlled his habits and stuff
Speaker 1: he does on and off the field, he continued to
Speaker 1: have these kind of years year and the kind of
Speaker 1: years as having year and the year outer Terry Rubiski.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's say give him a little bit of
Speaker 1: credit to that, and uh and give the head coach
Speaker 1: from credit because Doug Marone was the one who instituted
Speaker 1: the change of letting the running backs coach go and
Speaker 1: the bringing in Terry Rubiski a longtime coach in the
Speaker 1: National Football League who has ties to Louisiana, who, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, was one of the great A players
Speaker 1: in l s US history. I'm okay. And Leonard Fournette
Speaker 1: didn't even know who he was at first, and uh,
Speaker 1: and so I think the mutual admiration society has kind
Speaker 1: of started between Terror Robiscuy and Leonard Fournette and uh,
Speaker 1: and it's been really good for both of them. And
Speaker 1: you can when you talk to Terry, you can tell
Speaker 1: that he's really enjoying coach and Leonard Fournette and and
Speaker 1: this offense without Leonard Fournette, I think would be certainly
Speaker 1: a lot different our our guests. Next guest, come up.
Speaker 1: We had Jim Signarelli earlier from St. Michael's Soldiers, but
Speaker 1: everybody knows Abrey Jones, Jaguars defensive tackle, joining us here
Speaker 1: in the Upper West Club. Aby, how are you, sir?
Speaker 1: What's up? I'm good. I wasn't prepared for this such
Speaker 1: a professional set up right here. You know, Jeff Logaman
Speaker 1: and Leon Searcy. I don't know if you guys have
Speaker 1: met or not. Um, so here we are. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is an unbelievable effet thousand care packages going out.
Speaker 1: I know you have of military ties from your background, right, Oh, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: My mom and my dad were both army. Uh. This
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of when my dad went over
Speaker 1: to our Iraq. We had a lot of the foundations
Speaker 1: that come on base and they have like supplies for
Speaker 1: families to get where it was here and then make
Speaker 1: a little care back to just to send to your
Speaker 1: dad's and things like that. So this brings back good memories.
Speaker 1: So were you in Army bratt moving around from town
Speaker 1: to town. I moved quite a bit. I've been to Turkey, Germany, Louisiana, Virginia.
Speaker 1: I think I've been to like a France for like
Speaker 1: a hot minute. But you know, now where you're young
Speaker 1: and all this was happened. So did you enjoy the experience?
Speaker 1: Always like you met some friends for a year and
Speaker 1: then you had to leave and go to another count? Uh?
Speaker 1: It was truthfully, it was hard because I mean, when
Speaker 1: uh Germany, I got there, it's probably from first grade
Speaker 1: to fourth grade. We know people, you know kids, I've
Speaker 1: been growing up with them. I had to leave there
Speaker 1: and then after that we moved to like three places
Speaker 1: year year after years. I really couldn't really say no
Speaker 1: friends in but I got lucky my parents retired as
Speaker 1: I was going to the high school, so you know,
Speaker 1: I can they would grow up my high school friends.
Speaker 1: This have some fun here. Leon. You're a great right
Speaker 1: tackle obviously for the Jacksonville Jaguars early early days. You're
Speaker 1: one of the top twenty five jags of all time. Right,
Speaker 1: let me come on. Avery Jones has been with this
Speaker 1: franchise but now seven years as long as Tenure Jaguard
Speaker 1: around right actively. I mean, how would you block Avery Jones? Okay,
Speaker 1: first of all, he's a one technic light was a
Speaker 1: right tax I know. But in the theory. So he's
Speaker 1: saying theory, let me see, it doesn't seem to have
Speaker 1: any weak points. I would have to if I lined
Speaker 1: up against it was like what it was called that,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have it anymore. Oklahoma Drill all right about
Speaker 1: that saying. I'm saying and man, Avery Jones line up
Speaker 1: each other in Oklahoma, drial, I would find this weak
Speaker 1: points in my attack points before I got down, and
Speaker 1: then it would have been over. I'm not saying over.
Speaker 1: I didn't say he won one who I just said
Speaker 1: it would be open. Somebody's gonna fall, all right, this
Speaker 1: big joke, little I'm just enjoying the conversation to me
Speaker 1: at end, I mean, I don't. That's the funny thing
Speaker 1: is that every defensive tackle knows tackle that I've ever known.
Speaker 1: They've always wanted to be a defensive end. There's no
Speaker 1: double teams out there, you know, So just feel a
Speaker 1: little better, you know, back, feel better. Yeah, I beg
Speaker 1: to differ. There was a game and it was and
Speaker 1: you guys were laugh at this because it was I
Speaker 1: want to say, it was in nineteen ninety two and
Speaker 1: I'm playing the Raiders when when they were in Oakland
Speaker 1: for a little while, and uh and I was pretty good.
Speaker 1: Pastors had ten sacks and ninety one and so ninety
Speaker 1: two playing the Raiders out there at the l A Coliseum.
Speaker 1: They had a pretty good tackle. I believe his name
Speaker 1: was Gerald Perry, and he was he was a big
Speaker 1: strong man, and uh and I was doing okay against him,
Speaker 1: and so I was. But they were playing the tight
Speaker 1: end on my side a lot, and they were running
Speaker 1: the counter load, which kind of load is you know,
Speaker 1: the I'm a five technique and the tight end blocks
Speaker 1: down tackle double teams me, and here comes the full
Speaker 1: back and then here comes the offside guard pulling around,
Speaker 1: and so on the second half for tap time, I
Speaker 1: talked to the coach and said, hey, can I flip
Speaker 1: through the other side a little bit because I'm getting
Speaker 1: a lot of double teams there. That way we kind
Speaker 1: of spread the bruises a little bit. So the first
Speaker 1: play in the second half, I go to the other
Speaker 1: side of the formation and the quarterback was Evans. He
Speaker 1: was playing at the time. He was an older quarterback
Speaker 1: back up. He was in the game and he looks
Speaker 1: around and he goes and he sees me over. Then
Speaker 1: he goes check check back fifty six. They change the
Speaker 1: formation and here comes kind of load to the other
Speaker 1: side to me. I was like, okay, So so to
Speaker 1: say that the defensive ends don't get double teams because
Speaker 1: I had the tackle block of me, the tight end
Speaker 1: will come in and grab underneath the leg and then
Speaker 1: lifted and here comes guarding the fullback hit me in
Speaker 1: the head of there on our weights room. Wow, Oh,
Speaker 1: I love avery ya. Obviously it's a huge piece of
Speaker 1: the schedule coming up seven games to go. You guys
Speaker 1: don't look the big picture thing. But the next two weeks,
Speaker 1: I mean, these are games this team's gotta have, right.
Speaker 1: How is the feeling in the locker room this week,
Speaker 1: coming off to buy quarterbacks, coming back to division road
Speaker 1: games coming up? I mean, you know, spirits are high.
Speaker 1: We're coming off the bye week. Uh, guys, come back
Speaker 1: with that refresh bye week. It's to get back, get
Speaker 1: back on out on a Sunday and things like that.
Speaker 1: But we know how big this game is. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a one game at a time, and
Speaker 1: we know how we you know, we matched up against
Speaker 1: the coach offensive and defensively, and uh, we know, really
Speaker 1: we just gotta do our job. I feel like all
Speaker 1: year when it came down to us and the games
Speaker 1: we're close to, we really beat ourselves. So I feel
Speaker 1: like we go out there, we you know, we don't
Speaker 1: b s. We're gonna be all right. Well for for you,
Speaker 1: this week arguably one of one of your great chat
Speaker 1: vallenges that there is all year long, because a breath,
Speaker 1: you come back from that nice little break and you
Speaker 1: turn the film on and you see a guy by
Speaker 1: the name of Clinton Nelson. It might be the best
Speaker 1: guard at football right now, and you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: end up facing him, and he gets a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of pub for being one of the best
Speaker 1: guards in the league. He's a great challenge for you
Speaker 1: this week. He's one of those guys that likes to
Speaker 1: get movement. They like to run to football, and he's
Speaker 1: he's one of the reasons why they can run it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Um, you just gotta accept the challenge. I
Speaker 1: mean when you see a guy like that, Uh, definitely.
Speaker 1: We see the talent when we turn on the film
Speaker 1: in our room, things like that, but only gets you
Speaker 1: more excited. Go a guy that has a set of
Speaker 1: high standard of the league. To go out there and
Speaker 1: show what you can do and make a couple of
Speaker 1: plays for yourself. I mean to go on to his
Speaker 1: last Yet this season be big as far as these
Speaker 1: last seven games and the unlike last year, you're four
Speaker 1: and five. Now you're to think the things. Do you
Speaker 1: look at these last seven games as a challenge or
Speaker 1: do you look at them as an opportunity? Uh? I
Speaker 1: say opportunity because I feel like, you know, we have
Speaker 1: you know, with the mishaps the first game, losing Nick
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, we really showed a team that
Speaker 1: could stay together and just then, you know, let this
Speaker 1: thing just get blown up. So I feel like the
Speaker 1: opportunity is, with the ABC being so tight where we at,
Speaker 1: we have the opportunity really go on and run, take
Speaker 1: it one game at a time and really set ourselves
Speaker 1: up for a wild card or hopefully better if you know,
Speaker 1: if we get looking enough or anything like that. What
Speaker 1: is what has Nick Foles been like for you to
Speaker 1: to kind of experience in the locker room? A quarterback
Speaker 1: that comes in from a different team and so many
Speaker 1: people talk about some of his some of his confident,
Speaker 1: humble waves and how he's made and then a big
Speaker 1: impact in the locker room. Your thoughts on him as
Speaker 1: a later and as quarterback of your team. Um, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: you always hear good things about Nikki before he got here,
Speaker 1: But when he got here, I was kind of funny
Speaker 1: to me because he seemed like a movie quarterback, you know,
Speaker 1: says the right things. When a speech is needed and
Speaker 1: the team needs to be talked to, He's there to
Speaker 1: say at the right time. It's never an overwinded speech.
Speaker 1: It's straight to the point. He's talking to the guys.
Speaker 1: He expressing how good we can beat how much he has,
Speaker 1: you know, a love for his team. So I mean
Speaker 1: you go, you know, you go to battle with a
Speaker 1: guy like that any day. So I mean we all
Speaker 1: feed off that energy. We fed off the energy of
Speaker 1: how he was there to support Gardener, you know, no
Speaker 1: matter knowing what the situation could have came out of that.
Speaker 1: Things like that. So that's a guy you always want
Speaker 1: to fight with. Every good stuff. Thank you for coming

Speaker 1: Leon Searcy and Jaguars defensive end Josh Allen joining us
Speaker 1: on set. Mr Alan, how are you search here? And
Speaker 1: I feel you know Jeff Logerman, what's up? How you doing?
Speaker 1: What's going on? I'm feeling good man. Todays, you know,
Speaker 1: we got done with practice, not gone be with my family,
Speaker 1: you know, and quality time on the couch. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know it's important. It's it's good that you need to
Speaker 1: get that, you know. But you know, I'm I feel
Speaker 1: like we're doing good so fast. How was how was
Speaker 1: your bye week? It was great? You know, I got
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time with my family. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, time that I normally don't get, especially on
Speaker 1: the weekdays. So you know, just waking up to them
Speaker 1: to see what their routine is is uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of something I'm not used to. You know,
Speaker 1: I want to sleep in, but they're kind of up.
Speaker 1: So it's like I had to bounce that out. Yeah
Speaker 1: you have, you had to buy buy their roles right,
Speaker 1: really though, really I couldn't just sleep in like I
Speaker 1: imagine I was gonna be. But you know, it's the
Speaker 1: persons of being the father they and uh, being a
Speaker 1: young parent you start to learn to adjust. Is that
Speaker 1: when the young uns laid down and taking that, you
Speaker 1: do too. But then it's like, you know, when you
Speaker 1: sleep that's my time, I can go do something by myself,
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, I can watch TV finally,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I can probably put my game.
Speaker 1: But then also I can study, so you know, but
Speaker 1: you know it's my wife helps me out a lot,
Speaker 1: you know, she let me have my time, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I appreciate how you feel mentally and physically
Speaker 1: because they always talk about rookies that come in the
Speaker 1: usually play twelve games. In college, you got to play
Speaker 1: six teens. How are you How are you doing mentally
Speaker 1: physically to go for this run the next seton again?
Speaker 1: I feel like mentally, I feel like I'm I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm the best I felt since I started, like
Speaker 1: right now to this day. Like when we first got
Speaker 1: back Monday, I felt so because there was stuff I
Speaker 1: was dealing with, you know, the stresses and all that
Speaker 1: that I had to invent the people, had to talk
Speaker 1: to people because I was holding that in. But then
Speaker 1: when I let all that out and people was giving
Speaker 1: me their input, people telling me how to deal with it. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I was taking that in. Now I feel
Speaker 1: like I feel better. I feel like I can play faster.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, my mind's you know and
Speaker 1: and and dominating another opponent and like, you know, like
Speaker 1: I said, so that's why I feel like I feel
Speaker 1: the strongest question. Do you know a rookie record we
Speaker 1: sexon one season here or no? No? No? Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's that's one of the goals. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But that's not nothing. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I need to get that or if I don't, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be a good player. I'm you know, I'm
Speaker 1: taking a game by game, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And you know, if it happens, it happens. It's a
Speaker 1: huge accomplishment. That's something I want to do, but you
Speaker 1: know that's not my end goal. Man. Yuh So it's
Speaker 1: one of one of the things I think that you
Speaker 1: talked about at the very beginning of the season, that
Speaker 1: you have so many different people and resources to lean
Speaker 1: on for a rookie season, whether it be coaches, whether
Speaker 1: it be veterans, whether it be the strength coach, making
Speaker 1: sure you're staying up with taking care of your body,
Speaker 1: nutritionists and uh and and I remember listening to how
Speaker 1: you talked about that early year. You said, look, I'm
Speaker 1: doing everything they tell me to do. And that's got
Speaker 1: to help you at this point of the season with
Speaker 1: your body and how field. I mean, to this day,
Speaker 1: I still do, uh, because every input is a good input.
Speaker 1: I feel like that here trying to help me. I
Speaker 1: don't know about I don't know nothing about that. They
Speaker 1: know more than I do. So I'm gonna listening to
Speaker 1: the experts and uh, you know, just I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, I have my bumps and bruises just like
Speaker 1: every other football player. But you know, it is what
Speaker 1: it is. I still go every Saturday practice every day,
Speaker 1: uh like like there's nothing wrong with me. But when
Speaker 1: I get home, I feel all that. But you know,
Speaker 1: that's just a football player and that's life. So it
Speaker 1: is what it is. Josh Allen with his son Jaguar's
Speaker 1: Happy Hour or at the Upper West Club at t
Speaker 1: i A A bank field. Big stretch of games coming
Speaker 1: up here, obviously Division game on the road this week
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. How it has the feeling been in the
Speaker 1: locker room this week of of I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a must win field, but it's pretty dark close
Speaker 1: to that, Josh. I mean, you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like once you get into that must win
Speaker 1: I feel like, then that's when you start reaching. And
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, once you get the reach,
Speaker 1: and then you start acting out of your character, then
Speaker 1: you start acting different. Then you start playing different. So
Speaker 1: I feel like what coach Marone, you know, I'm glad
Speaker 1: he said, was, man, just take a day by day,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Let let that happen. If
Speaker 1: you practice good, man, you're gonna play good. So practice,
Speaker 1: you know, practice now, practice like you're gonna play in
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, and you know, and then
Speaker 1: I put that into my own words and and I
Speaker 1: feel like that's how guys are seeing it. And that's
Speaker 1: why I feel like I felt like, that's when we're
Speaker 1: gonna grow. It's when we don't feel like it's a
Speaker 1: must win, we gotta do it, we gotta do it,
Speaker 1: and that's when you start making errors. Like then that's
Speaker 1: when you start, you know, overdoing things. And then and
Speaker 1: then you overdo it, you're messing up the whole team,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, uh, you know it's
Speaker 1: a must win, it is, but um, then again, it's
Speaker 1: like it's another game, and it's a game you know
Speaker 1: that we try to win every week. So and it
Speaker 1: puss is the division game. So you know, we just
Speaker 1: gotta bring a a game and uh, you know, execute
Speaker 1: and will be all right. A division game against against
Speaker 1: an opponent that wants to run the football. They've been
Speaker 1: pretty good at it. It's a great challenge for you guy.
Speaker 1: Their offensive lines a pretty good unit. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know we were pretty good. You know, we're pretty
Speaker 1: good unit to Uh so you know we uh so
Speaker 1: we got to let people know that, uh you know,
Speaker 1: we're going to get us a good offense. We're going
Speaker 1: to get a good offensive line, and we feel like
Speaker 1: we're one of the best defensive line. So we put
Speaker 1: we put the pressure on us, you know what I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: to to stop the run. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like the safeties, the you know, the linebackers of course
Speaker 1: are in it, but like we put it, we put
Speaker 1: that to us to stop this run. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's all up to us. I felt like this game,
Speaker 1: the front seven as a holst all up to us
Speaker 1: to stop this game. And uh, you know, we we've
Speaker 1: been practicing that we've been you know, looking really good
Speaker 1: and you know we'll know on Sundays. So practice is
Speaker 1: going well this week. To your point, earlier. Every day
Speaker 1: you kind of focus on that day at hand. How
Speaker 1: has the week been, just in general? I mean it's
Speaker 1: so far, so good. Uh. I feel like it's not
Speaker 1: even about like making a lot of players. It's just
Speaker 1: about being consistent every day. And like, you know, if
Speaker 1: you had a great practice yesterday, I feel like you
Speaker 1: should come out and have a great practice today. Just
Speaker 1: being consistent. And you know, and I feel like guys
Speaker 1: have been doing. I feel like I have been doing.
Speaker 1: I feel like Kolla's Yon, you know, Miles, guys like
Speaker 1: that have been consistent with their practices and with their plays.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's that's what makes you a good team.
Speaker 1: And you know, and you know that's just what we
Speaker 1: gotta do it. How about the event here tonight. St.
Speaker 1: Michael's Soldiers care packages for troops, two volunteers, the entire
Speaker 1: Jaguars team, and on the other side, pros versus g
Speaker 1: I Joe's video games. This is pretty cool, John, I
Speaker 1: should have to hold the scheme up here, helping out
Speaker 1: with the troops. Don't forget about the fair. You know
Speaker 1: you can see the fair, you know what I mean. So,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's a great opportunity for us to
Speaker 1: interact with the fans and interact with the soldiers and
Speaker 1: you know, know that we're here for them. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Jacksonell is real big on the soldiers and
Speaker 1: helping them and salute to the soldiers. Is that what
Speaker 1: you know? And and that made need more more active,
Speaker 1: being more proactive to it and want to help out
Speaker 1: as much as I can. And uh, just being here
Speaker 1: spending time with them is also great. And sending them
Speaker 1: care pact is writing the letters. It's something that they
Speaker 1: can always hold up. Whatnot the candy, but the letter
Speaker 1: they can always hold on to that, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And it's it's just alsome to be a
Speaker 1: part of. And you guys have special practice jerseys, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, man, I don't like it. Man,
Speaker 1: it's kind of big. No, No, I'm sorry. The camouflage
Speaker 1: that the camouf I wish we could have them all
Speaker 1: all year. I really like it, you know, but we
Speaker 1: know next week we're backing them, so you can't get
Speaker 1: too comfortable with them. But the pictures that we got,
Speaker 1: you know, they're really good and they'll be autard off

Speaker 1: Huge swing game for this Jaguars team. If they win
Speaker 1: this thing here here, we are second place, no matter
Speaker 1: what's happening with Houston at the top. They've got a
Speaker 1: tough game, by the way against the the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 1: this week, and this thing can swing the right way. Well,
Speaker 1: last week was an opportunity to gain control of your
Speaker 1: own destiny and you lost that. Now is to maintain
Speaker 1: your hope in your playoff lives and to keep it
Speaker 1: along and so it's an important game. It's uh. And
Speaker 1: obviously Josh doesn't want to put the emphasence about being
Speaker 1: in a busch win game, and man, it's about as
Speaker 1: big as it can get huge. Yeah, well, you know
Speaker 1: it's good. Unlike last year, this team was on the
Speaker 1: five Games the Street last year. Now you got a
Speaker 1: game of relevance. This this is over. This game this
