Speaker 1: the Fields Auto Group and now Vice President and General
Speaker 1: manager of the Nick Cannon Fan Club J P. S.
Speaker 1: I had literally never heard of him until the last
Speaker 1: couple of days. I had to google him today. It's
Speaker 1: a long story. Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour presented by
Speaker 1: the Fields Auto Group JP Shadrick, John Osier Senior Writer,
Speaker 1: Hi John, how are you can? It's a long story.
Speaker 1: You know. There's this talk about we had Josh Allen
Speaker 1: and taping a program and here earlier for our UK audience,
Speaker 1: and there was a question about his sack dance and
Speaker 1: it goes back to I guess Nick Cannon and some
Speaker 1: movies sometime doing a dance, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know who Nick Cannon. With Nick Cannon, My son
Speaker 1: was growing up in a time where Nick Cannon was
Speaker 1: sort of a teen a guy on shows the kids
Speaker 1: that age watched. That's about my h knowledge Nick Cannon. Well,
Speaker 1: let's hope that the dance comes a lot this Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Shawn Watson. That would be Marcus Pollard dropped
Speaker 1: one in the locker room today that I liked. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you're not familiar with the former pop star Corbin Blue,
Speaker 1: who was in the in the high school musical stuff.
Speaker 1: Kids of that age would get that. And Marcus Pollard
Speaker 1: dropped Corbyn Blue on Josh Oliver today, which for some
Speaker 1: fans out there, if they have an idea high school musical,
Speaker 1: they'll get that. I laughed, it was funny. Apparently you're
Speaker 1: a fan. It's as good as Nick Cannon. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that. Let's here's what we're getting to the program today.
Speaker 1: We're going deeper than that. A week for all of us.
Speaker 1: I hope we are. London Week is here. Week nine.
Speaker 1: The Jacks are heading to Wimbley this Sunday to face
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Part do of this matchup in the
Speaker 1: AFC South this year. Look at the AFC South of course,
Speaker 1: the standings and what's coming up this week. Players to watch,
Speaker 1: We'll pick our guys to to watch this week at
Speaker 1: Wimbley Uniform unveiling. Jimmy Luck will be here from the
Speaker 1: equipment room to show off what the Jaguars will wear
Speaker 1: on Sunday in London and Chris Conley in studio with
Speaker 1: a guest to be determined. Last week it was an
Speaker 1: empty chair, but it worked out great. At about that,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't that's going a little bit
Speaker 1: too then well we'll find out who it is when
Speaker 1: they walk in the door, which is kind of exciting
Speaker 1: every week. One thing about having the empty chair, I
Speaker 1: know for sure or almost for sure, the am a
Speaker 1: better I'm more entertaining in that barely barely are I've
Speaker 1: had Back in my day, I had many, John, you
Speaker 1: are a better date than an empty chair. Congratulations. It
Speaker 1: is London week. So the big topic today around the
Speaker 1: locker room, around the coaches press conference about the trip
Speaker 1: and how you know this team is now making a
Speaker 1: seventh appearance in London. They they are three and three there,
Speaker 1: but they've adjusted the schedule over the years to travel,
Speaker 1: when to sleep, what to eat, when to eat, when
Speaker 1: to sleep, when not to sleep, and you kick the
Speaker 1: ball off on Sunday and play football. Really is when
Speaker 1: it comes down to um. Interesting though, in the staff
Speaker 1: meeting this week had coach Dug Maroon and his press
Speaker 1: conference today described a story and asked some of the
Speaker 1: coaching staff who had been on this trip before. You know,
Speaker 1: there anyone. I'm just curio anyone here had not kind
Speaker 1: of you know, made this trip before. And and guess
Speaker 1: who raises his hand. George Warhop I told, I looked
Speaker 1: at my go He's like, well, in the NFL, I said,
Speaker 1: you were with me in the worldly. We made this
Speaker 1: trip a ton of time, back to the United States,
Speaker 1: back to London, back to the the United States, back to London.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean we did in a playoff game.
Speaker 1: We went from London to New York, played New York
Speaker 1: in a playoffs game, flew back right away and got
Speaker 1: ready for the World Bowl. I'm like, come on, put
Speaker 1: your hand down, you know. George Warhob of course, the
Speaker 1: offensive line coach for Doug Morone with the London Monarchs
Speaker 1: in the World League in the early nineties there. And
Speaker 1: it's interesting because you're gonna have stories like that from
Speaker 1: Doug and you'll hear them at the podium in London
Speaker 1: on Friday as well, reminiscing about his time in that
Speaker 1: city and playing for that team. But here it is
Speaker 1: they have the routine down. I think of what they
Speaker 1: want to get accomplished starting Thursday when the buses roll
Speaker 1: out of here to the airport and then on the
Speaker 1: ground in London. Yeah. The big thing that players don't
Speaker 1: take your routine, which is to not sleep. You're talking
Speaker 1: about me. Yeah, No, I sleep. Yeah with a couple years.
Speaker 1: First year didn't realize. Um, yeah, and I guess I
Speaker 1: don't pay. We've done this trip so much JP that
Speaker 1: I don't spend a lot of time this week on
Speaker 1: the story anymore of you know what the players do
Speaker 1: to prepare. Uh, I thought that kind of I guess
Speaker 1: ran its course the second year that they went on Thursday,
Speaker 1: because now it's gonna be the same story every year
Speaker 1: they go Thursday. They arrived Friday morning, you have a
Speaker 1: practice couple of hours later, which the timing is such
Speaker 1: that the whole idea of that practice timing on Friday
Speaker 1: now and everything on Friday is to keep them occupied
Speaker 1: so that they don't go to sleep on Friday. The
Speaker 1: whole plan is, don't go to sleep on Friday, so
Speaker 1: you will sleep all night Friday. You'll get a little
Speaker 1: more adjusted Saturday. Have to have a normal sleep on
Speaker 1: Saturday night, and then wake up on Sunday and the
Speaker 1: science or the experience whatever tells you that if you
Speaker 1: do that, by Sunday you feel normal. And I think
Speaker 1: I don't know if it if it's really true or not,
Speaker 1: but they've convinced themselves that this is the right way.
Speaker 1: And that's a lot of it. Meaning I don't think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of conversation anymore among players who go
Speaker 1: over there of was this right? Is this the right
Speaker 1: thing to do? Well? This is screwed up, this is
Speaker 1: not the you know, you don't get a lot of
Speaker 1: you'll worry about that. And I think as long as
Speaker 1: you don't have players off kilter about it trying to
Speaker 1: think of how they could do it better, as long
Speaker 1: as they're saying it's probably the best way, well, then
Speaker 1: they're not concerned about that. I remember a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. I thinks when the Jags played the had
Speaker 1: been a couple of years ago as we played the Ravens,
Speaker 1: and I forget what he said, but there was a
Speaker 1: quote that was being circulated by Joe Flacco, who is
Speaker 1: the quarterback at the time of it just seemed very yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna take us a while to adjust to this.
Speaker 1: It was very focused as I recall on the process
Speaker 1: and the and the you know how tired they were
Speaker 1: gonna be, how much it was gonna be an adjustment,
Speaker 1: And I thought that year it really showed because the
Speaker 1: Jaguars jumped all over and felt like the Ravens were
Speaker 1: slow coming out. That's the advantage, if there is an
Speaker 1: advantage is DJ tarking the locker room today talked about
Speaker 1: how at first in that game last year he kind
Speaker 1: of felt sluggish and it felt different the first couple
Speaker 1: of minutes. Well, there's something to that Indie Buffalo and
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Three years in a row, Jaguars jumped all over.
Speaker 1: So if there's an edge, maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as pronounced as we'd like to
Speaker 1: think it is, But as long as the Jaguars believe it,
Speaker 1: then maybe it's an edge. Second meeting between the Texans
Speaker 1: and Jaguars this year and back in week two, different world.
Speaker 1: Back then it was Gardner Minshew's first career start. And
Speaker 1: you see what the Texans have done this year. They've
Speaker 1: they've dominated the recent series between these teams, winning fifteen
Speaker 1: of the last nineteen against the Jaguars. It's been all
Speaker 1: Houston in this division. Really, they've owned the division. They
Speaker 1: won in Week two in a in a one point game.
Speaker 1: The Jags were inches short on that two point play.
Speaker 1: You see the Shawn Watson's numbers there, He's been fantastic.
Speaker 1: Of course, DeAndre Hopkins is still there. Of course, J J.
Speaker 1: Watts done for the year, merce was on defense. It's
Speaker 1: just a few names to highlight there. But this is
Speaker 1: a team that is still very, very dangerous. And how
Speaker 1: different do you think this could be in terms of
Speaker 1: a game just setting up this game this week against
Speaker 1: these between these two teams than it was back in
Speaker 1: a week to a thirteen to twelve kind of grinded out,
Speaker 1: find a way and falling in a short game. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: how long ago was when night these teams last played.
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey was still playing for the Jaguars and Gardner
Speaker 1: minshe with some clown in a bandana. That's that's true
Speaker 1: and right, And that was at the start of the game.
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey was still happy and everything was fine. And
Speaker 1: now Jalen's gone, of course, and you know, Gardner, you know,
Speaker 1: past all the other stuff, is the guy and I
Speaker 1: think beyond the things we're seeing here. I think Gardner
Speaker 1: Minshew in this offense are a huge story in this game.
Speaker 1: Every time they made a play Week two, there was
Speaker 1: there was still this feeling around Gardner of six round
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. You still had that feeling of being pleasantly
Speaker 1: surprised and ever they got a first down, because that's
Speaker 1: what you are with the rookie quarterback, and we've seen
Speaker 1: so much bad quarterback play for eight years that there
Speaker 1: was still a feeling that the offense was going to
Speaker 1: be stagnant, that you're gonna see rookie mistakes, that you
Speaker 1: were gonna have these long stretches without productivity. Well that's
Speaker 1: all gone now, and I'm not gonna say they're one
Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the league. But now when
Speaker 1: they get plays, you're not surprised. And furthermore, in this game,
Speaker 1: the narrative leading into think about how how much different
Speaker 1: it is now JP is that this ought to be
Speaker 1: a shootout because the Texans cornerbacks are really struggling, the
Speaker 1: Texans defense is really struggle, and the Jaguars offense has
Speaker 1: done enough where you think they can score. And then
Speaker 1: you know, I think the Jaguars have an edge in
Speaker 1: this game, because I think the Jaguars are going to
Speaker 1: score points if they can get some points early and
Speaker 1: get ahead. The Texans offense as good as it is
Speaker 1: and as good as Deshaun Watson is, and he's very good.
Speaker 1: He's much better than I thought he was going to
Speaker 1: be as a pro. But the one thing they do
Speaker 1: is they give up pressure. The one thing this Jaguars defense,
Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing to give up pressure to
Speaker 1: a normal team that has a okay pass rush. When
Speaker 1: the Jaguars pass rush gets going, it's had two games
Speaker 1: with nine and eight sacks this year. When it's leading,
Speaker 1: it can be very dangerous. That's the one. If there's
Speaker 1: any matchup in this game that is overwhelmingly in favor
Speaker 1: of one or the other, it seems to me that
Speaker 1: it's the Jaguars pass rush. If they're playing with a
Speaker 1: lead against the Texans offensive line, that doesn't mean the
Speaker 1: Jaggards win the game because you still have to go
Speaker 1: get a lead to get in that situation. To think
Speaker 1: a lot can happen between that. If they get up eight,
Speaker 1: if they get up early and know they're scoring, uh
Speaker 1: or no, they're ahead, No, they have to pass. Would
Speaker 1: it shock you to see this defense really get going
Speaker 1: against this offensive line and so return this into a
Speaker 1: free for all. You know, it could happen. Now, you
Speaker 1: got to get to that. And that's where you know,
Speaker 1: with good quarterbacks like Deshaun Watson, he may not let
Speaker 1: it get to that. But if they get down and
Speaker 1: they get in half two situations, ah, there's a chance
Speaker 1: that he could be a five, six, seven sad game.
Speaker 1: Let's start off on the scoring points side of that
Speaker 1: and getting the lead. Gardner Minshew now, of course, making
Speaker 1: his eighth consecutive start for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's four
Speaker 1: and three as a starter so far. Had the bulk
Speaker 1: of that week one game, of course, after Nick Foles
Speaker 1: went down. And we'll figure out, you know, as the
Speaker 1: weeks go on the next week or so here what's
Speaker 1: going to happen moving ahead, But we'll save that for
Speaker 1: after the bye week. This is Gardner Minshew's game this
Speaker 1: week against the Texans, and I'd venture to say that's
Speaker 1: the biggest game he's had so far in a Jaguars
Speaker 1: uniform division game in London. Four and four. Record. Chance
Speaker 1: to really start November off, a very important division month.
Speaker 1: The right way. We've got in the locker room today
Speaker 1: and asked some of his teammates about Gardner Minshew, including
Speaker 1: d D. Westbrook, Jaguar's wide receiver who loves the guy
Speaker 1: as a damn good player and he's able to expand
Speaker 1: plays with a speak pretty well, you know, and looking
Speaker 1: at him, you wouldn't think you know he has had
Speaker 1: because just like his statue of how he's built. But
Speaker 1: then he goes out on a football field and perform
Speaker 1: magic tricks, you know what I mean, And so hats
Speaker 1: off some one of these special guy receivers know they
Speaker 1: have to do. You know, they might have to play
Speaker 1: scramble rules some time to time and keep routes going
Speaker 1: and keep looking back and see if there's an open spot.
Speaker 1: That's what happened with Chris Conley. We ask him about
Speaker 1: that coming up. But it can be an exciting brand
Speaker 1: of football on offense. Well, and I don't overstate this,
Speaker 1: but d D, since we've gotten to know him a
Speaker 1: little bit in watching him, strikes he as a guy
Speaker 1: who sure he loves getting paid to play football, but
Speaker 1: he also a guy who just likes playing football and
Speaker 1: would probably play if it was the old days when
Speaker 1: you're getting paid ten bucks a game and a meal later,
Speaker 1: you know, and he has great even beyond all that, though,
Speaker 1: he has really good instincts on the field. You can
Speaker 1: see how he can create after the catch. Uh. He
Speaker 1: seems to be a guy who who when he runs routes,
Speaker 1: has a good feel for the game. Well, then she's
Speaker 1: a lot like that. So you could see how they'd
Speaker 1: be a little bit kindred spirits. You could see how,
Speaker 1: you know, Hey, I wish I'd played this with this
Speaker 1: guy in college because it would have been a lot
Speaker 1: of fun to play, you know, in the Big twelve
Speaker 1: with this guy throwing the ball. So we've talked to
Speaker 1: d D together a couple of times about Gardner and
Speaker 1: each time, you know, you really see his face light
Speaker 1: up when he talks about him. And what's strange, j
Speaker 1: P here, what's gonna be interesting is everybody you've talked
Speaker 1: to in the locker room about Nick. I'm thinking of
Speaker 1: DJ Charks, some other guys, the feelings they have for
Speaker 1: Nick or like, they really like Nick Foles. They believe
Speaker 1: he brought a lot to the locker room. I think
Speaker 1: they believe he still does, by the way, because he's
Speaker 1: around there I'm saying past tense just because when we
Speaker 1: talked to him about it, But that's all real. And
Speaker 1: sometimes you can tell when guys are talking about stuff
Speaker 1: whether it's it's really hard felts or not. All the
Speaker 1: stuff they said about Folds very heartfelt. All that's very
Speaker 1: hard felt about Garner. And they're just such different guys.
Speaker 1: They bring it in a different way. Um, So I
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna hear anything different once they make
Speaker 1: this decision. But the the affection, respect, excitement they have
Speaker 1: around Minshew, it's a very real thing based on just
Speaker 1: the r that he brings. And I think we hear
Speaker 1: that from DJ from de D whenever we talked to
Speaker 1: about him, especially that ability to make plays and the
Speaker 1: ability to create above the XS and os. D D
Speaker 1: is a receiver who when it's scrambled mode, etcetera, etcetera,
Speaker 1: can really take advantage of that. So I'm not surprised
Speaker 1: that he likes him so much. And the deed you know,
Speaker 1: of course, miss the second half last week came out
Speaker 1: with the shoulder issue, shoulder neck issue, and and didn't
Speaker 1: come back. He just said it he couldn't play anymore.
Speaker 1: He was trying the best he could just to stay
Speaker 1: out there. But he seems confident he's going to see
Speaker 1: how the week goes. But he was practicing limited today,
Speaker 1: so that's a good sign. At this point, you figure
Speaker 1: I didn't talk to you over there with him. My
Speaker 1: guess is it's a circumstance where they're saying, look, it's
Speaker 1: been beating me up a little bit. It's a it
Speaker 1: seems to be a pain tolerance issue each week where
Speaker 1: it's gonna get hit and get worse. He had said
Speaker 1: after I think it was the Broncos game a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks back. There's something he was fighting through, expected
Speaker 1: to fight through all season. Do it one more time,
Speaker 1: d D. And then you get two weeks off is
Speaker 1: probably the whole approach, and we'll wrap you up and
Speaker 1: yet not and you have seven more after that. But
Speaker 1: you get two weeks off, let's see how goes this week.
Speaker 1: And he's the type of guy to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do it. I don't if you told me he
Speaker 1: couldn't be angry at you, yeah, it wouldn't fit defensively
Speaker 1: not we mentioned the past rush. If the Jaguars can
Speaker 1: get that lead and get that thing going, you saw
Speaker 1: what happen, and last week with Josh Allen, of course
Speaker 1: Uniken Goa got home a couple of times, um Abriy
Speaker 1: Jones even getting some sacked numbers the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks and a sack of week ago, a half sack
Speaker 1: last week in the game. And I asked him in
Speaker 1: the locker room today, Hey, when it comes contract negotiating time, Abrie,
Speaker 1: you're gonna bring up that rising sack total. Truefully, if
Speaker 1: I come from my next contract, if I get Calais
Speaker 1: to go to the meeting with me, I think I
Speaker 1: might get more money because he owes me seven sacks
Speaker 1: I've counted, and I write him down and he knows it,
Speaker 1: so hopefully, you know, I bring him with me. I
Speaker 1: got the I got the play saved on a photo,
Speaker 1: so I just let them things run and just say, hey,
Speaker 1: that's what could have been if our end wasn't so
Speaker 1: old and keep could keep contained. But I mean, it's
Speaker 1: another thing, so they probably won't ignore me. You know,
Speaker 1: it's all right, No, no one really cares what Clay's
Speaker 1: isn't helping one get a sack. But if you miss
Speaker 1: one and he misses one, didn't, that's your ass. But
Speaker 1: huh so, yeah, I'm definitely gonna bring it up. Abriy
Speaker 1: Jones is a fantastic sound bite in the locker room,
Speaker 1: a good guy that goes he's been around here um
Speaker 1: for years and years and years. When you've seen it
Speaker 1: in the bad times and the good times. It has
Speaker 1: some fun with that. Of course, with the sack total there,
Speaker 1: but even the interior guys getting home, you know, Tavan
Speaker 1: Bryant's getting close. They have a group of guys that
Speaker 1: can reak havoc in the backfield. Well, they had eight
Speaker 1: sacks last week and it was it. It was a
Speaker 1: group effort and it could have been seven or eight
Speaker 1: more and they were all over Darnal all day. Uh.
Speaker 1: When Aby's getting sacks, no offense to the seven that
Speaker 1: he didn't get. When Aby he's getting sacks, you know
Speaker 1: it's going right, especially when he pulls the sack dance.
Speaker 1: It was a couple of weeks ago where he sort
Speaker 1: of did the I wasn't sure what that was. I
Speaker 1: think if you had to rethink that he probably would.
Speaker 1: He hasn't had many in his career, it really uh
Speaker 1: was it was his career totals nine sacks in his
Speaker 1: career but we've talked about it before. What an incredible
Speaker 1: story an undrafted free agent, not only an underrafted free agent,
Speaker 1: Abrey Jones, but an undraft a free agent during a
Speaker 1: time where I don't know for sure if this stat's right,
Speaker 1: but my guess is he probably in eight years or
Speaker 1: seven years, I think my guess is he has probably
Speaker 1: had more teammates than any player in Jaguars history. Outside
Speaker 1: maybe there's just so much turnover around here because of
Speaker 1: the turnover, how many guys is he has? He seemed
Speaker 1: coming and go and to last during that time on
Speaker 1: a franchise that was trying to churn the roster, churn
Speaker 1: the roster, and become a guy who has been a
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, I probably the longest tenured
Speaker 1: players in franchise history. Amazing story, good guy and not
Speaker 1: glad to tell it. And in a room, a defensive
Speaker 1: line room filled with personality, he's in so many different
Speaker 1: kinds of them, and and alpha male type guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: you asked the defensive line coach, and you asked some
Speaker 1: other guys in that room. Abrey's the guy. He's the
Speaker 1: one that really stirs the drink, if you will, in
Speaker 1: that room well, and here's the thing about he's a
Speaker 1: guy you have to have. It's hard in this day
Speaker 1: and age. Well, when I was growing up and falling football, Uh,
Speaker 1: and even through the eighties, probably only nineties, it was
Speaker 1: easier to find a guy like Abry Jones around because
Speaker 1: the salary cap wasn't such a dominant thing. But this
Speaker 1: is a guy who he's there when he needs we
Speaker 1: need to be a backup, he's there, we need him
Speaker 1: to start, he's there. He can start, but he can
Speaker 1: also slide back and be a backup. If he was
Speaker 1: the third guy in the rotation. He'd prepare, perform, et cetera.
Speaker 1: The same way. When you found out this offseason that
Speaker 1: he was probably going to start rather than be a backup,
Speaker 1: you didn't blink an eye. Look, okay, he's gonna start.
Speaker 1: That's fine, he'll be good. Uh. You used to have
Speaker 1: a lot of guys like that. Now, with the league
Speaker 1: so structured in salary of this guy makes this so
Speaker 1: he has to start. There's not as many guys who
Speaker 1: last like this, who are veterans and then backups and
Speaker 1: then starters and then not. So he's a throwback, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the team is better because he's here. Put
Speaker 1: it a good two. Will come back in a moment
Speaker 1: and look at the a f C South, take a
Speaker 1: little closer look at the Houston Texans some of the
Speaker 1: stars on their team for this week's matchup at Wimbley

Speaker 1: Saturday at Craven Cottage and then the Union Jack's Pub
Speaker 1: party with like a Mobile that's five thirty at the
Speaker 1: Admiralty Pub on Trafalgar Square and that's always a fantastic
Speaker 1: time I'll be there. Um, John, are you coming for
Speaker 1: that this year? I'm gonna come hang out and have
Speaker 1: some pints. Okay, I didn't make it last year. It
Speaker 1: always depends on how I feel. I always want to
Speaker 1: make it because I've met some great people at that
Speaker 1: event over the years, and uh, I enjoy it and
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to be there, John or no, John,
Speaker 1: I'll be there. I'm just it's you're right, you got
Speaker 1: that right. It's much different. So always a fun weekend
Speaker 1: in London of course, the game at two thirty London time,
Speaker 1: nine thirty am in Jacksonville on Sunday. Let's take a
Speaker 1: look at the ANFC South standings going into week nine,
Speaker 1: and it's the same order that has been the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, with the Indianapolis Colts at the top
Speaker 1: of the division, the Houston Texans right after that in
Speaker 1: five and three, the Jags four and four, and the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans at the bottom four and four as well.
Speaker 1: Tight division. This next month is where it turns for
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. They have three straight division games coming up
Speaker 1: in a four week span, with a bye weekend there
Speaker 1: and a quarterback decision to be made if they can
Speaker 1: manage this somehow, they can get to December and then
Speaker 1: I have a chance for a run. If they can't
Speaker 1: manage this, then December might not matter too much at
Speaker 1: least in the standings. Yeah, well, I mean you go
Speaker 1: and three through this, then obviously it's over. I think
Speaker 1: you've got to get at least two. Um and frankly,
Speaker 1: I think you need to get this one. You know,
Speaker 1: it's start with this one. Yeah, it's it's a home game,
Speaker 1: and people are like hearing that, but in the in
Speaker 1: the spirit of what they need to get done, you
Speaker 1: have to treat this like a home game and you've
Speaker 1: got to beat the Texan at home because he lost
Speaker 1: to them on the road. It's also I would make
Speaker 1: the argument that it's far in a way the most
Speaker 1: important game they've held in London. They won in Baltimore
Speaker 1: two years or they beat Baltimore two years ago, but
Speaker 1: they were one and one going into that game that
Speaker 1: didn't have that was still a game, as I recall
Speaker 1: where and recall talking to fans at the Union Jack's
Speaker 1: event that year, and they hoped they were good because
Speaker 1: they had beaten the Texans, but then they had just lost.
Speaker 1: I think they lost to Tennessee the following week, so
Speaker 1: they were still right in the throes of that up down,
Speaker 1: up down. You didn't know if they were good or not.
Speaker 1: Now once they won the next day, it took on
Speaker 1: a feel. Our memory is okay that that was a
Speaker 1: big game to beat the Ravens, but there wasn't a
Speaker 1: whole lot of at stake in that game. Yet it
Speaker 1: didn't feel big. This one on Sunday. You know, all
Speaker 1: the other ones they've either been out of it or
Speaker 1: last year Philadelphia, they felt like they were out of
Speaker 1: it all right. I mean it was just kind of
Speaker 1: a mess by the time they got to Philip This
Speaker 1: is important, this is big. So when they made the
Speaker 1: commitment to have a game there every year, shot in
Speaker 1: the organization made the point of, look, this needs to
Speaker 1: be a home game. This needs to be where. This
Speaker 1: is our advantage. Teams need to be worried about playing
Speaker 1: us there. Well, this is where it starts. This is
Speaker 1: the first time that you've really needed this thing to
Speaker 1: be a huge home field advantage because you need this one. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think if you don't win this, you're not out
Speaker 1: of it, but you're four and five, you're and you
Speaker 1: might be looking up at what a five and two
Speaker 1: Colts team. I things have to go perfectly the rest
Speaker 1: of the or close and earl there this way for
Speaker 1: you to catch that. Um, I ain't must. They've won
Speaker 1: two games in a row there were must wins. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what the reward for that is? So that that's
Speaker 1: the NFL. I guess the team that's already beating you
Speaker 1: in the division this year, so they want to go
Speaker 1: into against the Texans. That's been the recent trend over
Speaker 1: the last number of years around here. Let's get to
Speaker 1: our players to watch, shall we sum. I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: this week and it's gonna be fairly obvious. I think
Speaker 1: this is the story. Obviously it's Gardner Minshew. However he plays,
Speaker 1: I think is how this game is gonna go. And
Speaker 1: not to put undue pressure on him, but he played
Speaker 1: pretty darn well last week and that went against the Jets.
Speaker 1: And he's had his moments this year, or he's saved
Speaker 1: the bacon for the Jaguars, if you will, h he's
Speaker 1: four and three, and you know, the other bigger question
Speaker 1: will be is this his final look at quarterback for
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Nick Foles is ready to come
Speaker 1: back week eleven against the Colts. When is that decision made? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, we'll find out, but I can't worry about that. Now.
Speaker 1: Go play well against the Texans and move the offense
Speaker 1: all day, score in the red zone, and get the
Speaker 1: job done. That's what Gardnerminsters tasked with this week. I
Speaker 1: almost think JP that if if he was a guy
Speaker 1: who was in his third year and was in this situation,
Speaker 1: I meaning, hey, you've got one more game then the
Speaker 1: starters coming back, and there's this narrative in the air
Speaker 1: of out you need to play well to keep the job.
Speaker 1: If he was in his third year, that might be
Speaker 1: some pressure. I almost think being a rookie in that situation,
Speaker 1: being so young, they ever been through it before. And
Speaker 1: he's not a dumb guy at all. So I hate
Speaker 1: to even use this phrase, but it's almost like, as
Speaker 1: a rookie, you're so dumb, you don't know what the
Speaker 1: NFL is that I'm just going out and play in.
Speaker 1: I've got to prepare. You know, so much going on
Speaker 1: that you don't have time to think about ramifications. It's
Speaker 1: it's almost okay. It's almost okay to be young and
Speaker 1: not know what's going on because you're so intent on preparing.
Speaker 1: I don't think it will come into play that much
Speaker 1: for him this week be I think even if he
Speaker 1: doesn't wind up starting against Indianapolis, even they go back
Speaker 1: to fold use the phrase whist be his last game,
Speaker 1: It might be his last game for the short term.
Speaker 1: I don't think in any way in the world, no
Speaker 1: matter what decisions may that we've seen the last of
Speaker 1: this kid a quarterback um either through folds injury. There's
Speaker 1: something I just can't imagine this scenario where he is
Speaker 1: not quarterbacking this team at some point in the future.
Speaker 1: My other players plural to watch the Jaguars secondary. We
Speaker 1: don't have a graphic for it, but talking to a
Speaker 1: j boye in the locker room today, this is a
Speaker 1: different secondary. Of course, from the last number of years
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars have faced the Houston Texans and DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: It's always been Jalen Ramsey on DeAndre Hopkins. That was
Speaker 1: the storyline going into each one of those games. You
Speaker 1: saw it happen in Week two with Ramsey shutting him
Speaker 1: down a fantastic performance. But now, for the first time
Speaker 1: in a long time, the Jaguars are playing the Texans
Speaker 1: without twenty in that defensive backfield and talking to boy
Speaker 1: today about it in the lock room, he's confident. It's
Speaker 1: just different personnel on the back end for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: but there's some young guys coming along. Trey Herndon had
Speaker 1: the two picks last week. Um, you know, you didn't
Speaker 1: want to give up exactly what he's gonna be doing,
Speaker 1: but you know, you feel like he's gonna have some
Speaker 1: time on Hopkins, but he could see time on other
Speaker 1: guys and they they are confident in this group in
Speaker 1: the back in But this that makes no mistake. This
Speaker 1: is a wide receiver group in Houston that can really
Speaker 1: get it done. If Hopkins is covered up, the other
Speaker 1: guys can play and and blow up for big games
Speaker 1: on you. So for me, the secondary big this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think the secondary is huge. But I think
Speaker 1: the way that you stop Hopkins if you're the Jaguars
Speaker 1: is to pressure Watson so much that he can't get
Speaker 1: the ball to Hopkins. I don't think you're gonna stop Hopkins. Um.
Speaker 1: I also think that the reality of DeAndre Hopkins right
Speaker 1: now is that he's going to catch between six and
Speaker 1: nine balls and they might go for between seventy and yards.
Speaker 1: You say it's okay, but that's not gonna go. There
Speaker 1: will be three or four plays in this game that
Speaker 1: are third and seven, Houston's on its forty two, and
Speaker 1: they're either trying to kill the clock or they're trying
Speaker 1: to dry for a key score. In those situations, you
Speaker 1: know they're going to this guy. If they have six
Speaker 1: big offensive plays in the game, they're going to him
Speaker 1: four of them. I think the key to stopping him
Speaker 1: quote unquote will not be his yardage, but how they
Speaker 1: fare on those big plays. If you can keep the
Speaker 1: ball out of his hand and be walking off the
Speaker 1: field high five in each other for beingcomplete passed twice
Speaker 1: in that situation, you've probably won. If he's converting each one,
Speaker 1: which he's done against this team before. I mean, we
Speaker 1: can all think of situations where he's made, you know,
Speaker 1: a play for an eight yard game on third and three,
Speaker 1: where all of a sudden the life goes out of
Speaker 1: the building. That's what he does, so well, how you
Speaker 1: do against him on those plays sort of determines whether
Speaker 1: you've won that matchup or not. More than his yardage
Speaker 1: total at the end of the game. All right, so
Speaker 1: my players to watch gardener mens you the second really
Speaker 1: a stretch there and Jaguar's secondary against the receiving corps
Speaker 1: and the Shawn Watson throwing the ball around. John. Who
Speaker 1: you got today? Well, I'll be quick because, uh you know,
Speaker 1: we have Jimmy Luck coming here soon. My first is
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and a couple of things. For some reason,
Speaker 1: he's not getting Rookie of the Year Love with Love,
Speaker 1: uh it, Yeah, which is absurd because they have similar
Speaker 1: stats and this kid is similar stats. And now I
Speaker 1: will say, I mean San Francisco is undefeated. Does that
Speaker 1: matter to you? Well, if I if I was covering
Speaker 1: the fort I'm sure. But when it comes to a
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Years, no, not really. I mean, this
Speaker 1: guy has had a huge impact. I'm not really concerned
Speaker 1: about it. To me, JP, he clearly is showing that
Speaker 1: he is going to be a league defining defensive player.
Speaker 1: As long as he stays healthy for the next eight
Speaker 1: to ten years, he is big time. I think he's
Speaker 1: really important in this game because, as I said, if
Speaker 1: you're going to stop Hopkins, the biggest edge the Jaguars
Speaker 1: have is their past rush against this offensive line. If
Speaker 1: he has a game where he starts putting himself on
Speaker 1: the map and you know, two more sacks, National TV
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I think there's a good chance that
Speaker 1: on Monday they'll be talking about him right up there
Speaker 1: with Bosa as as defensive Rookie of the Year. And
Speaker 1: my second is Chris Com. Yes'm and I sort of
Speaker 1: chose him because he's our guest. He's right now, um
Speaker 1: he I figured you were going with Minshew. The the
Speaker 1: Texans secondary is so beat up that I don't think
Speaker 1: it's going to be a game like thirteen to twelve
Speaker 1: in a week two. I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: case where this team needs to get a lead. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be able to run the ball
Speaker 1: very well with for net because the Texans are going
Speaker 1: to try to stop that and they've been good against
Speaker 1: the run. The key to me is somehow the Jaguar
Speaker 1: is getting some big plays early, getting ahead and forcing
Speaker 1: the Texans into passing situations. I think their best chance.
Speaker 1: I could have picked d J Hrk. I could have
Speaker 1: picked d D D. Westbrook went with Connley because he had
Speaker 1: the big play last week. He has the chance to
Speaker 1: put this team in a situation where they're in the
Speaker 1: driver's seat and they're going after Watson on defense. So
Speaker 1: Chris Commy, okay, Josh Allen and Chris Connelly your choices today.
Speaker 1: Well done. Our players to watch her in so watch
Speaker 1: them on Sunday at Wimbley in London. Coming up a
Speaker 1: Daily Splace busy schedule Sting November eight, Sarah Borellis November

Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Field's Auto Group rolls
Speaker 1: along JP, Shadrick, John Osier and this music. Each week
Speaker 1: meets It's time for Jimmy luck He equipment manager. What's
Speaker 1: up man? What's going on? How you guys doing Ready
Speaker 1: for London? We are? We We're getting there. Yeah, packing
Speaker 1: it all up right now? I got ask Logistically, I
Speaker 1: know the first couple of years of London had to
Speaker 1: be just a mess. Not a mess, but a huge
Speaker 1: lift because going over there for the full weeks, I
Speaker 1: would think that was a dramatically different task than going
Speaker 1: over there for just the last couple of days of
Speaker 1: the week. Yeah, it is. Um. The first year we left,
Speaker 1: we played Sunday, left Monday. UM when over there all week, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a pretty good bit. The next year we
Speaker 1: left from Cincinnati, so we kind of had flashbacks. We
Speaker 1: went to Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago about being there,
Speaker 1: and that was that was a little difficult kind of
Speaker 1: packing for two trips. Um a little nerve wracking there.
Speaker 1: Like you said, obviously we have less movements, less practice
Speaker 1: all that. It's a little bit easier unless uniforms, right,
Speaker 1: I get to take both. I've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: sets of uniforms. Yeah, when we went for Cincinnati, obviously
Speaker 1: we had we of the road team in Cincinnati, so
Speaker 1: we had those packed, and then we had the home
Speaker 1: uniforms since we were the home team, and then you
Speaker 1: had practice jerseys, and so you had all kinds of
Speaker 1: stuff and nothing like an unpacking that's right, with dirty
Speaker 1: stuff and then yeah and then yeah, oh yeah, Well
Speaker 1: it's better on the way back because the stuff doesn't
Speaker 1: come back with us after the game, so we don't
Speaker 1: get until about Tuesday at noon. So the uniforms are
Speaker 1: pretty ripe right there. I would say. So, how has
Speaker 1: the staff on the ground over there in the UK,
Speaker 1: the NFL UK people, the folks at Wimbley, how have
Speaker 1: they been over the years helping you guys get situated up.
Speaker 1: It's been really good. I mean they've kind of um
Speaker 1: worked the bugs out, you know they have. At first,
Speaker 1: you know it's just one or two games a year.
Speaker 1: Now there's four games a year, so they get pretty
Speaker 1: good routine, um, good follow up, a lot of the
Speaker 1: same people from year to year, so it's good have
Speaker 1: familiar faces. No, um, with us going every year, it's
Speaker 1: our seventh time. I think we've been the most of
Speaker 1: any teams, so they kind of enjoy seeing us. We
Speaker 1: are kind of starting to feel at home field. And
Speaker 1: when we the equipment guys roll up, the security guards
Speaker 1: are there, they get all fired up to see us
Speaker 1: and um are kind of clubhouse guys over there that
Speaker 1: they like. They enjoy it when we come over. We
Speaker 1: have a good time. Now the field, they were there,
Speaker 1: some players were talking about today. It's a different kind
Speaker 1: of field, isn't It's not quite I mean it's I
Speaker 1: guess it's soccer, but whatever it is, it's a different
Speaker 1: kind of slickness, right, yeah, it is. It's Uh it's
Speaker 1: much more like rye grass, which a lot of people
Speaker 1: up north will use, uh kind of later in the year. Um.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of juicy and wet looking. Obviously there's
Speaker 1: a good chance of rain so it's gonna be even wetter.
Speaker 1: But the field is kind of hard, um because they
Speaker 1: like for the soccer for the ball to kind of
Speaker 1: skid on the grass. Um. Those guys aren't real heavy either.
Speaker 1: They're not digging in real deep so, um, so it's
Speaker 1: a little bit different. And a lot of those fields
Speaker 1: have like the synthetic fibers that the grass kind of
Speaker 1: grows through it and you can't really cut that out.
Speaker 1: And re saw a piece like we do over here.
Speaker 1: Remember the first year stand in the field doing us
Speaker 1: in TV and it was just this thick. It felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, it was sort of meandering like it's a
Speaker 1: little longer. Yeah, very very almost crisp and crisp. It
Speaker 1: was like being a field of weeds. Yeah, it's because
Speaker 1: it's kind of like soft and lays over and very green. No,
Speaker 1: not really yeah, not not not football not even wear
Speaker 1: cleats for that though. Um, we have well everybody has
Speaker 1: a pair of detachable cleats the screw ins or seven studs,
Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call them. Um, we we encourage everybody
Speaker 1: to wear those during warm ups to try to get
Speaker 1: a feel. Um. Some guys have a special little pattern.
Speaker 1: They might like to put them in short and long ones. Um.
Speaker 1: Usually if you're gonna wear detachable cleat, you'll wear the
Speaker 1: longer cleat because if you're just wearing the regular one,
Speaker 1: you might as well wear your regular molded bottom shoes,
Speaker 1: which some guys will can get away with um other guys,
Speaker 1: you know, receivers and dbs that cut a little bit harder,
Speaker 1: they may need a little bit more or the line been,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to dig in. So but we'll we'll
Speaker 1: have an opportunity on Saturday and Sunday early to test
Speaker 1: that out. So a few years it was a few
Speaker 1: years ago. Obviously, Alan Hearns made a catch on the
Speaker 1: right side, and then we've threw guys and they're they're
Speaker 1: slipping and falling for the Colts and he goes for
Speaker 1: like a fifty yard touchdown. I mean, that's that's part
Speaker 1: of the preparation for this game. And I think that's
Speaker 1: some of our advantage hopefully that you know, we we
Speaker 1: know the fields a little bit different and you know
Speaker 1: we've played on it, and hopefully that's a little check
Speaker 1: in our box. I said, it's a different running on it,
Speaker 1: even with the lake, like you have to be a
Speaker 1: little bit over your body, you know, make sure you're
Speaker 1: running with your feet underneath you. That's my coaching point
Speaker 1: for the day. Thank you, Jimmy. Let's get to the equipment,
Speaker 1: shall we. Well, the Jaguars wear uniforms this Sunday at
Speaker 1: Wimbley against the Houston text. So there's a I don't
Speaker 1: know who it is, but Jaguar Equipment Twitter guy. He's
Speaker 1: pretty on top of it. I've been following him and
Speaker 1: he's following me, so I think he got it right.
Speaker 1: This week we're gonna go with the black pants, okay,
Speaker 1: with the heel trim, and then we will go with
Speaker 1: the black Jersey's kind of the traditional London and we
Speaker 1: got the Mayor of Saxonville, Mr Worldwide and Captain Klaas
Speaker 1: very cool. I wanted to bring Trey Herndon with the
Speaker 1: two picks last week. He's my guy, but I figured
Speaker 1: Mr Worldwide we needed to bring him. But I'll bring
Speaker 1: Tray later. Killis getting some things done this year, of course,
Speaker 1: as is that entire defensive line as we talked about earlier. John.
Speaker 1: But there's a good look black on black at Wimberston
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, it's only the second time we've done that, right,
Speaker 1: This is the second time we've worn the black jersey
Speaker 1: this year. We wore actually against his only been in London,
Speaker 1: is that right? Uh? No, we've worn it at home before,
Speaker 1: but this is the first time this year, We've weared
Speaker 1: love it um, let's get a win. And on Sunday, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: well done. We'll see you over there all right. Appreciate
Speaker 1: Jimmy luck with this each and every Wednesday, Black over

Speaker 1: a really good spot, especially defensively. We're starting to get
Speaker 1: our turnovers going, you know, starting to get our mojoke going,
Speaker 1: um putting the ball back in the offensive hands, giving
Speaker 1: them better situations to manage and everything. So we're just
Speaker 1: really excited. Man. We feel like this should be a
Speaker 1: good one where I five hunted right now, and I
Speaker 1: feel like Novembers that month where you really set yourself
Speaker 1: apart from other teams. So we're excited. He ask have
Speaker 1: you looked around the last couple of weeks and I
Speaker 1: ever thought how different your world is from three or
Speaker 1: four years ago when it was always always telling and
Speaker 1: so much turnover. I mean, you've been responsible for a lot,
Speaker 1: and those guys were always on the field the scene,
Speaker 1: and it's just been such a strange years. He's just
Speaker 1: talk about the year and what you've had to go through,
Speaker 1: to deal with that. Yeah, it's um. I mean obviously
Speaker 1: when I came in, it was it was Puzz and telling.
Speaker 1: They were running. They really puzzled with the head dog,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Telling was second and charge
Speaker 1: of myself. I was a young guy. Then Puzz decided
Speaker 1: to hang up the cleats. It's telling me, So I'm
Speaker 1: still learning from telling, learning from a good dude, then
Speaker 1: telling the size to sitting down this year, so then
Speaker 1: it's it's me, you know what I mean, And I'm
Speaker 1: going through the year playing next to new guys and
Speaker 1: just learning from its somebody knew I'm playing with every week,
Speaker 1: so it's it's really been not necessarily a challenge, but
Speaker 1: really it's made me had to up my game because
Speaker 1: I really got to know even that much more to
Speaker 1: help out that person throughout the week. So that way
Speaker 1: on Sunday, everybody feels confident to know what they gotta do.
Speaker 1: So I really give credit to just learning from telling
Speaker 1: the Puzz. They were on me, they got me right,
Speaker 1: So it's just kind of like you pay it forward,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You just continue the tradition
Speaker 1: of being that guy that somebody can lean on, lean on,
Speaker 1: and something that maybe hasn't gotten I talked about enough.
Speaker 1: But two weeks ago, the game against Carolina, you guys
Speaker 1: all wanted to forget right. But in the three weeks sense,
Speaker 1: with a lot going on around you, meaning a lot
Speaker 1: of new faces, a lot of guys that you know,
Speaker 1: thirty five yards against the Bengals, I think, and forty
Speaker 1: last week. What's going into that and how much have
Speaker 1: you had to help the guys around you during that?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm grateful for that Carolina game because
Speaker 1: I was a wake up call for all of us.
Speaker 1: I felt like, not to say we didn't take them serious,
Speaker 1: but we we kind of took that game for granted,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Cam Newton was hurt. We
Speaker 1: just felt like it was just mccaffreine. He went in
Speaker 1: there and he wore us out, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So that was a wake up call for us. And
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for that game because I learned from that
Speaker 1: and I said, you know it, never again, We're gonna
Speaker 1: stack these games up. And you've seen the body of
Speaker 1: work we put together and were just planning on continuing
Speaker 1: to just keep it going. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: jink that they talked about it anything, but yeah, we've
Speaker 1: we've been pretty solid on the front seven Chris Connolly
Speaker 1: Miles Jack with us Chris offense. Now, scramble rules came
Speaker 1: into play last week for this wide receiver corp. Certainly
Speaker 1: for you on that seven yard touchdown. D J. Chart's
Speaker 1: touchdown was kind of the same way when things are
Speaker 1: breaking down. But that's sometimes how it goes, especially with
Speaker 1: this kind of quarterback back there right. Yeah, you just, uh,
Speaker 1: I think the more that you play with a guy,
Speaker 1: you start to realize his tendencies for how long and
Speaker 1: how what links will go to to keep play alive.
Speaker 1: Every quarterback has a different amount of timing that they'll
Speaker 1: go looking down the field until they run. Uh So,
Speaker 1: you know, in the weeks that we've been able to
Speaker 1: play with Gardner, we've kind of figured out what that
Speaker 1: clock is like and what areas of the field he
Speaker 1: likes to look at when it comes to scrambling downfield,
Speaker 1: and we're able to translate those to positive plays this
Speaker 1: past weekend. But moving forward, you know, we would like
Speaker 1: to you know, protect things up and run the right
Speaker 1: routes that he doesn't necessarily have to do that and
Speaker 1: win it with his legs. But you know that's just
Speaker 1: an exciting part about his game that adds another dimension
Speaker 1: to the offense. And he's done a really good job.
Speaker 1: Did you know how fast he was? That man? I
Speaker 1: knew from the from the comma and he ran would
Speaker 1: you run a low high forward? Three four three five?
Speaker 1: I don't ever talk about that. You're the highest vertical
Speaker 1: leaf as well. Lebroad jump fairly uh, fairly athletic. Yea
Speaker 1: fairly athletic day. But you know, for some some of
Speaker 1: the guys maybe on this team that have not really
Speaker 1: seen that open up to his fullest. When the last
Speaker 1: thirty yards on your touchdown, I mean you turned on
Speaker 1: the burners and then drove through the guy to get
Speaker 1: him the end zone. And that's what you had to do,
Speaker 1: and that gotta do. Gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: You know, I just wanna you know, the guys in
Speaker 1: this locker room have really made the most of their opportunities.
Speaker 1: And uh, I feel like that's what the skill positions
Speaker 1: on offense really buy into is. You know, you don't
Speaker 1: know how many balls are gonna get You don't know
Speaker 1: when that chance is going to come to make a
Speaker 1: play that impacts the game. So when the ball is
Speaker 1: in your hands, make the most of it. I got
Speaker 1: a question for both of you, and and it's one
Speaker 1: at a time. Now, everybody knows who follows the draft
Speaker 1: knows that Miles often covered wide receivers in God often,
Speaker 1: I about the matchup during practice. Man, you guys ever
Speaker 1: met with that? That was? That was the old days,
Speaker 1: you know, for three or five I'm not really hitting
Speaker 1: that those marks. So now I'm I'm gonna let the DBS.
Speaker 1: Don't let a j deal with that. I don't have
Speaker 1: time for that. I just I'm okay, I'm no, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that, you know, but there's there's definitely one
Speaker 1: thing I don't want to get hit by Miles. You know,
Speaker 1: he's being nice over there, but the licks that that
Speaker 1: he lays on crossing receivers, you know, I'll pass on that.
Speaker 1: I'll pass on that one. I'll let him. I let
Speaker 1: him take pick off those other guys. Chris wins. Now,
Speaker 1: we asked Chris a lot about this, but there's been
Speaker 1: so much talk this year, and Chris said after the
Speaker 1: game the other day that he really liked the way
Speaker 1: that this team was starting to play for the guy
Speaker 1: next to him. Uh, Dougs talked about it all off season,
Speaker 1: how he likes that about this team. UM, have you
Speaker 1: felt that all year? Do you continue to feel that growing?
Speaker 1: And not? Absolutely? I guess where's that coming from? Why
Speaker 1: is that? I would say it truly steps from last year,
Speaker 1: you know, UM, and you could even say the year prior,
Speaker 1: because two years ago, I mean, we're on top of
Speaker 1: the world, we were winning games. UM should have went
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. The year after it was such
Speaker 1: a letdown and we just kind of all remember that
Speaker 1: feeling that they coming forward this year, we don't want
Speaker 1: to have that same feeling. So we know that we
Speaker 1: all can't do it by ourselves. We all have to
Speaker 1: come together, lean on the man next to each other,
Speaker 1: and UM, even even on half the time if we're
Speaker 1: down or anything, everybody can kind of feel that. Everybody
Speaker 1: trust everybody to do what they're supposed to do. So
Speaker 1: there's no panic, there's no point in fingers, it's none
Speaker 1: of that, you know. We just know that everybody knows
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do. And it's such a trust
Speaker 1: in this locker room and even a camaraderie that we have.
Speaker 1: Everybody talks to each other's. It's a different vibe this year,
Speaker 1: for sure. I think I think that just you know,
Speaker 1: from the outside looking in and then coming into this
Speaker 1: locker room. This year, I've seen from my first week here,
Speaker 1: the relationships between guys wherever they play on the team, offense, defense,
Speaker 1: special teams, first team through fourth team. I've seen those
Speaker 1: relationships just blossom and guys really want to be around
Speaker 1: other guys because they're good dudes and they're good teammates,
Speaker 1: and then that makes and it translates into them being
Speaker 1: better football players. And when we get into those tough
Speaker 1: situations and games, it's not a thing for me to
Speaker 1: go up to Miles and say, hey man, we need you,
Speaker 1: like we need you to come up with one like
Speaker 1: we didn't get our job done. We has an offense
Speaker 1: needs you to come up with once we get another shot,
Speaker 1: and it's it's not it's there's never any like if
Speaker 1: Myles comes up to me, it's like, hey, hey, we
Speaker 1: need you to pick it up. I don't take offense
Speaker 1: to that because I know where he's coming from. I
Speaker 1: know what his heart is, and so people don't get
Speaker 1: sensitive about stuff like that, and that can really cause
Speaker 1: some divisions in locker rooms. But we're not really experiencing
Speaker 1: that issue because of the way that guys have gotten
Speaker 1: to know each other. Constructive criticism but not attacking. There.
Speaker 1: Have you taken him out of me on the water
Speaker 1: yet to serve? Not yet. You know, that's something that
Speaker 1: we need, that needs to happen, because Myles is a
Speaker 1: very athletic guy, a very very athletic guy, and he
Speaker 1: could definitely serve. We haven't gotten there. No, I didn't
Speaker 1: really tell you know, the Pacific. It's just kind of
Speaker 1: dirty out there, so I didn't really get out there
Speaker 1: it too much. I don't know how a letic I
Speaker 1: am on water, so we'll have to see about that.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's he making candles to see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a big candle making guy. How's the business going? You know? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of wrestling with Instagram right now, trying to
Speaker 1: get my password back. I lost the phone that had it.
Speaker 1: You know, you put a password on the phone and
Speaker 1: you forget about it. I never thought it was gonna
Speaker 1: blossom like this, and I, oh, my man, Chris, about
Speaker 1: a thousand candles does only a couple of candles? I
Speaker 1: was told a couple of months ago that I was
Speaker 1: getting the candle, and you know, it's just there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things going on with the season, so you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to put too much on his plate,
Speaker 1: but I just don't forget. I mean, yeah, I did
Speaker 1: not expect. I did not expect for it to blow up.
Speaker 1: How I did, Like I literally just kind of made
Speaker 1: the Instagram and thought it was just gonna be like,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a minute thing. But it's really taking
Speaker 1: off and even some fans in London want me to
Speaker 1: take the take some candles over there, so I'm bringing
Speaker 1: like fifty just to see what it does. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris asked for an exotic cent so I'm working on this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it right pretty It's pretty specific. But
Speaker 1: he assured me that he can make it happened, and
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to I asked what this exotic center.
Speaker 1: It's holiday themed, you know, it's holiday themed, and you know,
Speaker 1: Christmas is my favorite holiday and and I'm a big
Speaker 1: fan of apple pies and so you know, I wanted
Speaker 1: to smell like, you know, a house on Christmas with
Speaker 1: an apple pie and a little sentiment, you know, And
Speaker 1: he said, you can make that happen. I can make it.
Speaker 1: I'm just putting, gotta make some things together. Don't want
Speaker 1: it to be too sentiment to pie too. You know,
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna be a hero when I take that,
Speaker 1: when I take that home, don't be a hero. Tradition
Speaker 1: dictates that you have questions for my oh yeah, uh yeah,
Speaker 1: So for those everyone probably knows. You know, Miles was
Speaker 1: a two way athlete, not just in high school but
Speaker 1: in college. Do you ever have just this burning desire
Speaker 1: to get some plays on offense? Man? You know, there
Speaker 1: there are times during the game where I watch other
Speaker 1: running backs. So I'm watching film on an opposing running
Speaker 1: back and I was like, I would have went this,
Speaker 1: We would have went that way. But you know, I
Speaker 1: kind of took a step back from that. But if
Speaker 1: they did ask me to do it, I would not say, no,
Speaker 1: we have space. We have space. If Lena gets tired, Lenard,
Speaker 1: if you watching, I'm gonna don't forget about that, just
Speaker 1: forget about it. It tired because I don't want to
Speaker 1: take it. Sean, the young rookie's been running hard, they
Speaker 1: get tired. I'll give him a player too. So at
Speaker 1: close right, yeah, you're the emergency guy. A couple. Correct,
Speaker 1: Yeah they were. We was running some plays and I
Speaker 1: was ready to go. But man, I guess it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it didn't happen. But yeah, Egency run back. Always
Speaker 1: the emergency quarterback. You know, I hope that the time
Speaker 1: never comes where they need I hope the time never
Speaker 1: comes where they need both of our services. But me
Speaker 1: handing it off to Miles Jack, that's kind of a
Speaker 1: that's an explosive back fel. I like that. Let's hope,
Speaker 1: let's hope we never seen Okay, no offense, guys. Alright,
Speaker 1: last thoughts here? Going to London a place, said Miles,
Speaker 1: and you know very well i'mously being around here. Have
Speaker 1: you playing London? Ye? Win? Uh? Two thousand sixteen played
Speaker 1: against the Lions. So a big division game obviously home
Speaker 1: environment for the Jack's home kind of weekend now after
Speaker 1: making a tradition here. But as we said at the start,
Speaker 1: it's it's a big month, three division games coming up,
Speaker 1: a bye weekend there too. At a pretty good time
Speaker 1: I think for this team. But it all starts this
Speaker 1: week absolutely absolutely, Um we're five hunted. I think this
Speaker 1: would be a great way to start the third quarter.
Speaker 1: Get that first win, Rest everybody up, get our bodies
Speaker 1: back for a week, and get that ball rolling. Man.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm this is this is it. I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna kick off something very specially. I'm talking to you
Speaker 1: very briefly after the game the other day. You're in
Speaker 1: need of a bye, right, you're getting I mean, and
Speaker 1: and you've been fighting through it. Just at this point
Speaker 1: in the season, you just try to tell you how
Speaker 1: beat up you are. And it's not necessarily nepsific thing.
Speaker 1: It's just the wear and tear at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: to explain to people what it's like, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's eight weeks. Is it's rough man,
Speaker 1: You're taking hits, You're hitting lineman, You're always you're always hitting.
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's not like it's kind of a
Speaker 1: mental thing. You know. What I mean is you've got
Speaker 1: to continue to just want to hit, want to do this.
Speaker 1: You want to stick your nose on people who want
Speaker 1: to be physical. I want to be aggressive because there's
Speaker 1: there's times when your shoulders, this shoulder maybe heard, this
Speaker 1: shoulder maybe heard. Your neck might be a little tight,
Speaker 1: but it's bigger than you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So you gotta put the team before yourself and go
Speaker 1: out there and get a win. Well, put well, put
Speaker 1: big big this week, huge one, huge one. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, for guys who play any one that they
Speaker 1: know what it's like, the environment and how the travel
Speaker 1: takes it out of you, the difference in food, lack
Speaker 1: of hydration, there's a lot of things. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of factors that go into playing an overseas game. But
Speaker 1: the guys who have been around in the locker room,
Speaker 1: we have a lot of guys who've played in this
Speaker 1: game over there, and they're prepared for it. And um,
Speaker 1: you know, just continue to build on the things that
Speaker 1: we've built on to get to this place. If the
Speaker 1: team continues to build on that and continues to just
Speaker 1: focus in and get a little bit better each week,
Speaker 1: then we'll be where we want to be. We don't
Speaker 1: want to peak too soon, but we want to continue
Speaker 1: that gradual climb. Well done, Fellas, good to see you,
Speaker 1: Good luck to you in London. We'll see you over there, Miles.
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming in man, Jack, Chris, we'll talk to
Speaker 1: you next time. Next week. Oh no, no, bye week,
Speaker 1: next bye week. I'm out of here. I'll be here okay,
Speaker 1: come on in miles, Jaguars Jack. We'll see you guys
Speaker 1: in London and we'll talk to you next time. Jaguar
