Jaguars Happy Hours presented by 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:28.240 the Fields Auto Group and now Vice President and General 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:34.320 manager of the Nick Cannon Fan Club J P. S. 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.200 I had literally never heard of him until the last 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.159 couple of days. I had to google him today. It's 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:43.000 a long story. Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour presented by 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.840 the Fields Auto Group JP Shadrick, John Osier Senior Writer, 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:51.479 Hi John, how are you can? It's a long story. 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.480 You know. There's this talk about we had Josh Allen 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.760 and taping a program and here earlier for our UK audience, 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.200 and there was a question about his sack dance and 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.360 it goes back to I guess Nick Cannon and some 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.360 movies sometime doing a dance, and I was like, I 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.520 don't know who Nick Cannon. With Nick Cannon, My son 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.600 was growing up in a time where Nick Cannon was 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.639 sort of a teen a guy on shows the kids 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:22.480 that age watched. That's about my h knowledge Nick Cannon. Well, 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.039 let's hope that the dance comes a lot this Sunday 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.480 against the Shawn Watson. That would be Marcus Pollard dropped 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.280 one in the locker room today that I liked. I'm 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:34.560 sure you're not familiar with the former pop star Corbin Blue, 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:40.040 who was in the in the high school musical stuff. 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.800 Kids of that age would get that. And Marcus Pollard 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.480 dropped Corbyn Blue on Josh Oliver today, which for some 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.840 fans out there, if they have an idea high school musical, 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.920 they'll get that. I laughed, it was funny. Apparently you're 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.000 a fan. It's as good as Nick Cannon. I'll tell 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.240 you that. Let's here's what we're getting to the program today. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.960 We're going deeper than that. A week for all of us. 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.320 I hope we are. London Week is here. Week nine. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.520 The Jacks are heading to Wimbley this Sunday to face 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:11.639 the Houston Texans. Part do of this matchup in the 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.200 AFC South this year. Look at the AFC South of course, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.440 the standings and what's coming up this week. Players to watch, 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.760 We'll pick our guys to to watch this week at 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.480 Wimbley Uniform unveiling. Jimmy Luck will be here from the 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.160 equipment room to show off what the Jaguars will wear 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.120 on Sunday in London and Chris Conley in studio with 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.080 a guest to be determined. Last week it was an 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:37.919 empty chair, but it worked out great. At about that, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.680 I don't know, I don't that's going a little bit 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.799 too then well we'll find out who it is when 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.880 they walk in the door, which is kind of exciting 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.480 every week. One thing about having the empty chair, I 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.400 know for sure or almost for sure, the am a 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:57.760 better I'm more entertaining in that barely barely are I've 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.520 had Back in my day, I had many, John, you 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:07.200 are a better date than an empty chair. Congratulations. It 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.480 is London week. So the big topic today around the 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.079 locker room, around the coaches press conference about the trip 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.720 and how you know this team is now making a 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.760 seventh appearance in London. They they are three and three there, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.120 but they've adjusted the schedule over the years to travel, 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.200 when to sleep, what to eat, when to eat, when 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.239 to sleep, when not to sleep, and you kick the 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.440 ball off on Sunday and play football. Really is when 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.919 it comes down to um. Interesting though, in the staff 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.040 meeting this week had coach Dug Maroon and his press 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.040 conference today described a story and asked some of the 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.240 coaching staff who had been on this trip before. You know, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.320 there anyone. I'm just curio anyone here had not kind 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.119 of you know, made this trip before. And and guess 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.600 who raises his hand. George Warhop I told, I looked 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.280 at my go He's like, well, in the NFL, I said, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:53.880 you were with me in the worldly. We made this 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.080 trip a ton of time, back to the United States, 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.240 back to London, back to the the United States, back to London. 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.360 You know, I mean we did in a playoff game. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.240 We went from London to New York, played New York 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.720 in a playoffs game, flew back right away and got 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.240 ready for the World Bowl. I'm like, come on, put 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.360 your hand down, you know. George Warhob of course, the 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.320 offensive line coach for Doug Morone with the London Monarchs 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.640 in the World League in the early nineties there. And 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.160 it's interesting because you're gonna have stories like that from 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.040 Doug and you'll hear them at the podium in London 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.400 on Friday as well, reminiscing about his time in that 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.760 city and playing for that team. But here it is 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.000 they have the routine down. I think of what they 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.360 want to get accomplished starting Thursday when the buses roll 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.200 out of here to the airport and then on the 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.200 ground in London. Yeah. The big thing that players don't 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.320 take your routine, which is to not sleep. You're talking 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:50.960 about me. Yeah, No, I sleep. Yeah with a couple years. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.680 First year didn't realize. Um, yeah, and I guess I 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.960 don't pay. We've done this trip so much JP that 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.159 I don't spend a lot of time this week on 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.040 the story anymore of you know what the players do 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.960 to prepare. Uh, I thought that kind of I guess 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.719 ran its course the second year that they went on Thursday, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.480 because now it's gonna be the same story every year 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.160 they go Thursday. They arrived Friday morning, you have a 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.640 practice couple of hours later, which the timing is such 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.640 that the whole idea of that practice timing on Friday 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.640 now and everything on Friday is to keep them occupied 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.359 so that they don't go to sleep on Friday. The 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.520 whole plan is, don't go to sleep on Friday, so 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.800 you will sleep all night Friday. You'll get a little 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.400 more adjusted Saturday. Have to have a normal sleep on 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.680 Saturday night, and then wake up on Sunday and the 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.279 science or the experience whatever tells you that if you 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.120 do that, by Sunday you feel normal. And I think 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.680 I don't know if it if it's really true or not, 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.280 but they've convinced themselves that this is the right way. 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.800 And that's a lot of it. Meaning I don't think 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.880 there's a lot of conversation anymore among players who go 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.359 over there of was this right? Is this the right 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:03.919 thing to do? Well? This is screwed up, this is 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.880 not the you know, you don't get a lot of 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.040 you'll worry about that. And I think as long as 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.760 you don't have players off kilter about it trying to 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.880 think of how they could do it better, as long 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:17.960 as they're saying it's probably the best way, well, then 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.600 they're not concerned about that. I remember a couple of 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.880 years ago. I thinks when the Jags played the had 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.760 been a couple of years ago as we played the Ravens, 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:26.640 and I forget what he said, but there was a 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.080 quote that was being circulated by Joe Flacco, who is 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:35.280 the quarterback at the time of it just seemed very yeah, 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.200 it's gonna take us a while to adjust to this. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.840 It was very focused as I recall on the process 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.520 and the and the you know how tired they were 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.200 gonna be, how much it was gonna be an adjustment, 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.479 And I thought that year it really showed because the 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.080 Jaguars jumped all over and felt like the Ravens were 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.200 slow coming out. That's the advantage, if there is an 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.359 advantage is DJ tarking the locker room today talked about 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.000 how at first in that game last year he kind 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.560 of felt sluggish and it felt different the first couple 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:09.080 of minutes. Well, there's something to that Indie Buffalo and 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.320 the Ravens. Three years in a row, Jaguars jumped all over. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.960 So if there's an edge, maybe that's what it is. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.680 I don't think it's as pronounced as we'd like to 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.880 think it is, But as long as the Jaguars believe it, 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.160 then maybe it's an edge. Second meeting between the Texans 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.360 and Jaguars this year and back in week two, different world. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:33.440 Back then it was Gardner Minshew's first career start. And 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.200 you see what the Texans have done this year. They've 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:41.360 they've dominated the recent series between these teams, winning fifteen 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.040 of the last nineteen against the Jaguars. It's been all 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.880 Houston in this division. Really, they've owned the division. They 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.880 won in Week two in a in a one point game. 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.160 The Jags were inches short on that two point play. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.080 You see the Shawn Watson's numbers there, He's been fantastic. 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.720 Of course, DeAndre Hopkins is still there. Of course, J J. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.000 Watts done for the year, merce was on defense. It's 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.520 just a few names to highlight there. But this is 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.400 a team that is still very, very dangerous. And how 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.000 different do you think this could be in terms of 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.440 a game just setting up this game this week against 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.400 these between these two teams than it was back in 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.840 a week to a thirteen to twelve kind of grinded out, 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.920 find a way and falling in a short game. Well, okay, 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.200 how long ago was when night these teams last played. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.960 Jalen Ramsey was still playing for the Jaguars and Gardner 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.960 minshe with some clown in a bandana. That's that's true 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:30.920 and right, And that was at the start of the game. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.240 Jalen Ramsey was still happy and everything was fine. And 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:38.800 now Jalen's gone, of course, and you know, Gardner, you know, 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.800 past all the other stuff, is the guy and I 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.560 think beyond the things we're seeing here. I think Gardner 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.920 Minshew in this offense are a huge story in this game. 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:54.080 Every time they made a play Week two, there was 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.400 there was still this feeling around Gardner of six round 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:03.480 rookie quarterback. You still had that feeling of being pleasantly 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.120 surprised and ever they got a first down, because that's 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:07.800 what you are with the rookie quarterback, and we've seen 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.080 so much bad quarterback play for eight years that there 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.360 was still a feeling that the offense was going to 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.840 be stagnant, that you're gonna see rookie mistakes, that you 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.040 were gonna have these long stretches without productivity. Well that's 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.000 all gone now, and I'm not gonna say they're one 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.040 of the best offenses in the league. But now when 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:32.000 they get plays, you're not surprised. And furthermore, in this game, 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.280 the narrative leading into think about how how much different 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.400 it is now JP is that this ought to be 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:43.520 a shootout because the Texans cornerbacks are really struggling, the 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.280 Texans defense is really struggle, and the Jaguars offense has 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.720 done enough where you think they can score. And then 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.480 you know, I think the Jaguars have an edge in 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.319 this game, because I think the Jaguars are going to 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.600 score points if they can get some points early and 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.960 get ahead. The Texans offense as good as it is 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.520 and as good as Deshaun Watson is, and he's very good. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:04.760 He's much better than I thought he was going to 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.760 be as a pro. But the one thing they do 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.600 is they give up pressure. The one thing this Jaguars defense, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.720 you know, it's one thing to give up pressure to 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.959 a normal team that has a okay pass rush. When 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.200 the Jaguars pass rush gets going, it's had two games 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.079 with nine and eight sacks this year. When it's leading, 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.760 it can be very dangerous. That's the one. If there's 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.960 any matchup in this game that is overwhelmingly in favor 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.360 of one or the other, it seems to me that 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.240 it's the Jaguars pass rush. If they're playing with a 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.320 lead against the Texans offensive line, that doesn't mean the 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.120 Jaggards win the game because you still have to go 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.080 get a lead to get in that situation. To think 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.840 a lot can happen between that. If they get up eight, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.679 if they get up early and know they're scoring, uh 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.040 or no, they're ahead, No, they have to pass. Would 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.720 it shock you to see this defense really get going 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.760 against this offensive line and so return this into a 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.000 free for all. You know, it could happen. Now, you 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.240 got to get to that. And that's where you know, 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.760 with good quarterbacks like Deshaun Watson, he may not let 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.760 it get to that. But if they get down and 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.079 they get in half two situations, ah, there's a chance 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.840 that he could be a five, six, seven sad game. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.360 Let's start off on the scoring points side of that 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.160 and getting the lead. Gardner Minshew now, of course, making 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.680 his eighth consecutive start for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's four 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.040 and three as a starter so far. Had the bulk 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.240 of that week one game, of course, after Nick Foles 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.840 went down. And we'll figure out, you know, as the 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.200 weeks go on the next week or so here what's 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.080 going to happen moving ahead, But we'll save that for 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.240 after the bye week. This is Gardner Minshew's game this 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.679 week against the Texans, and I'd venture to say that's 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.319 the biggest game he's had so far in a Jaguars 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.080 uniform division game in London. Four and four. Record. Chance 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.800 to really start November off, a very important division month. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.880 The right way. We've got in the locker room today 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.920 and asked some of his teammates about Gardner Minshew, including 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.320 d D. Westbrook, Jaguar's wide receiver who loves the guy 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.680 as a damn good player and he's able to expand 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.440 plays with a speak pretty well, you know, and looking 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.040 at him, you wouldn't think you know he has had 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.280 because just like his statue of how he's built. But 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.280 then he goes out on a football field and perform 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.360 magic tricks, you know what I mean, And so hats 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.439 off some one of these special guy receivers know they 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.320 have to do. You know, they might have to play 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.640 scramble rules some time to time and keep routes going 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.200 and keep looking back and see if there's an open spot. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.120 That's what happened with Chris Conley. We ask him about 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.280 that coming up. But it can be an exciting brand 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.480 of football on offense. Well, and I don't overstate this, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.560 but d D, since we've gotten to know him a 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.079 little bit in watching him, strikes he as a guy 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.520 who sure he loves getting paid to play football, but 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.000 he also a guy who just likes playing football and 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.800 would probably play if it was the old days when 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.760 you're getting paid ten bucks a game and a meal later, 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:03.079 you know, and he has great even beyond all that, though, 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.280 he has really good instincts on the field. You can 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.480 see how he can create after the catch. Uh. He 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.440 seems to be a guy who who when he runs routes, 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.040 has a good feel for the game. Well, then she's 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.400 a lot like that. So you could see how they'd 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.760 be a little bit kindred spirits. You could see how, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.800 you know, Hey, I wish I'd played this with this 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.800 guy in college because it would have been a lot 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:29.960 of fun to play, you know, in the Big twelve 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:34.040 with this guy throwing the ball. So we've talked to 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.720 d D together a couple of times about Gardner and 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.520 each time, you know, you really see his face light 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.959 up when he talks about him. And what's strange, j 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:47.240 P here, what's gonna be interesting is everybody you've talked 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.640 to in the locker room about Nick. I'm thinking of 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.000 DJ Charks, some other guys, the feelings they have for 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.600 Nick or like, they really like Nick Foles. They believe 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.360 he brought a lot to the locker room. I think 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.559 they believe he still does, by the way, because he's 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.000 around there I'm saying past tense just because when we 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.600 talked to him about it, But that's all real. And 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.720 sometimes you can tell when guys are talking about stuff 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.720 whether it's it's really hard felts or not. All the 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:17.160 stuff they said about Folds very heartfelt. All that's very 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.720 hard felt about Garner. And they're just such different guys. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.720 They bring it in a different way. Um, So I 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.800 don't think you're gonna hear anything different once they make 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:31.280 this decision. But the the affection, respect, excitement they have 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:36.080 around Minshew, it's a very real thing based on just 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.640 the r that he brings. And I think we hear 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.840 that from DJ from de D whenever we talked to 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.680 about him, especially that ability to make plays and the 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.240 ability to create above the XS and os. D D 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.920 is a receiver who when it's scrambled mode, etcetera, etcetera, 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.640 can really take advantage of that. So I'm not surprised 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.720 that he likes him so much. And the deed you know, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.560 of course, miss the second half last week came out 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.440 with the shoulder issue, shoulder neck issue, and and didn't 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.720 come back. He just said it he couldn't play anymore. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.480 He was trying the best he could just to stay 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.360 out there. But he seems confident he's going to see 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.520 how the week goes. But he was practicing limited today, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.640 so that's a good sign. At this point, you figure 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.640 I didn't talk to you over there with him. My 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:18.400 guess is it's a circumstance where they're saying, look, it's 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.400 been beating me up a little bit. It's a it 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.920 seems to be a pain tolerance issue each week where 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.600 it's gonna get hit and get worse. He had said 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.280 after I think it was the Broncos game a couple 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:32.640 of weeks back. There's something he was fighting through, expected 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.240 to fight through all season. Do it one more time, 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.120 d D. And then you get two weeks off is 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.720 probably the whole approach, and we'll wrap you up and 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.880 yet not and you have seven more after that. But 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.720 you get two weeks off, let's see how goes this week. 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.480 And he's the type of guy to be like, yeah, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.360 let's do it. I don't if you told me he 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.400 couldn't be angry at you, yeah, it wouldn't fit defensively 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.560 not we mentioned the past rush. If the Jaguars can 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.600 get that lead and get that thing going, you saw 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.760 what happen, and last week with Josh Allen, of course 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.160 Uniken Goa got home a couple of times, um Abriy 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.160 Jones even getting some sacked numbers the last couple of 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.240 weeks and a sack of week ago, a half sack 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.360 last week in the game. And I asked him in 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.320 the locker room today, Hey, when it comes contract negotiating time, Abrie, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.400 you're gonna bring up that rising sack total. Truefully, if 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.520 I come from my next contract, if I get Calais 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.000 to go to the meeting with me, I think I 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.480 might get more money because he owes me seven sacks 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.240 I've counted, and I write him down and he knows it, 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.360 so hopefully, you know, I bring him with me. I 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.280 got the I got the play saved on a photo, 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.680 so I just let them things run and just say, hey, 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.800 that's what could have been if our end wasn't so 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.280 old and keep could keep contained. But I mean, it's 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.320 another thing, so they probably won't ignore me. You know, 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.200 it's all right, No, no one really cares what Clay's 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.320 isn't helping one get a sack. But if you miss 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.800 one and he misses one, didn't, that's your ass. But 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.640 huh so, yeah, I'm definitely gonna bring it up. Abriy 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.200 Jones is a fantastic sound bite in the locker room, 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.160 a good guy that goes he's been around here um 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.040 for years and years and years. When you've seen it 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.680 in the bad times and the good times. It has 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.200 some fun with that. Of course, with the sack total there, 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:11.479 but even the interior guys getting home, you know, Tavan 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.040 Bryant's getting close. They have a group of guys that 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.280 can reak havoc in the backfield. Well, they had eight 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:22.199 sacks last week and it was it. It was a 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.440 group effort and it could have been seven or eight 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.639 more and they were all over Darnal all day. Uh. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.080 When Aby's getting sacks, no offense to the seven that 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.119 he didn't get. When Aby he's getting sacks, you know 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.240 it's going right, especially when he pulls the sack dance. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:37.480 It was a couple of weeks ago where he sort 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:41.960 of did the I wasn't sure what that was. I 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.640 think if you had to rethink that he probably would. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.240 He hasn't had many in his career, it really uh 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.800 was it was his career totals nine sacks in his 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.919 career but we've talked about it before. What an incredible 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:58.480 story an undrafted free agent, not only an underrafted free agent, 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.119 Abrey Jones, but an undraft a free agent during a 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:05.159 time where I don't know for sure if this stat's right, 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:09.119 but my guess is he probably in eight years or 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.080 seven years, I think my guess is he has probably 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.840 had more teammates than any player in Jaguars history. Outside 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.960 maybe there's just so much turnover around here because of 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.679 the turnover, how many guys is he has? He seemed 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:27.280 coming and go and to last during that time on 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.800 a franchise that was trying to churn the roster, churn 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.399 the roster, and become a guy who has been a 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.960 you know, at this point, I probably the longest tenured 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.399 players in franchise history. Amazing story, good guy and not 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.520 glad to tell it. And in a room, a defensive 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.080 line room filled with personality, he's in so many different 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.000 kinds of them, and and alpha male type guys. I mean, 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.439 you asked the defensive line coach, and you asked some 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.840 other guys in that room. Abrey's the guy. He's the 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.399 one that really stirs the drink, if you will, in 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.800 that room well, and here's the thing about he's a 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.680 guy you have to have. It's hard in this day 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:07.240 and age. Well, when I was growing up and falling football, Uh, 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:09.720 and even through the eighties, probably only nineties, it was 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.080 easier to find a guy like Abry Jones around because 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:16.120 the salary cap wasn't such a dominant thing. But this 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.320 is a guy who he's there when he needs we 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.600 need to be a backup, he's there, we need him 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.199 to start, he's there. He can start, but he can 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.399 also slide back and be a backup. If he was 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.639 the third guy in the rotation. He'd prepare, perform, et cetera. 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:34.359 The same way. When you found out this offseason that 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.280 he was probably going to start rather than be a backup, 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.320 you didn't blink an eye. Look, okay, he's gonna start. 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.600 That's fine, he'll be good. Uh. You used to have 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:44.400 a lot of guys like that. Now, with the league 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.560 so structured in salary of this guy makes this so 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.800 he has to start. There's not as many guys who 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.520 last like this, who are veterans and then backups and 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:57.080 then starters and then not. So he's a throwback, and uh, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.680 you know, the team is better because he's here. Put 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.159 it a good two. Will come back in a moment 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:02.960 and look at the a f C South, take a 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.600 little closer look at the Houston Texans some of the 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.920 stars on their team for this week's matchup at Wimbley 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.320 will get players to watch for the Jaguars as well. 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.280 A little later, Jimmy Luck joins us from the equipment 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.840 room to unveil what the Jaguars will wear Sunday against 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.440 the Houston Texans in London and Chris Conley, Jaguars wide 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:23.840 receivers set to join us with a mystery guest. We'll 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.520 find out when they walk in. It's Jaguars Happy Hour 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.920 presented by the Fields Auto Group on the Jaguars Digital Netgroup. 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:41.000 You can step up to Luxury now. Hello, I'm Dan Fields. 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.480
