Dolphins Jaguars Week 6 Preview

We're gonna go position by position, breaking down the matchups, tendencies, areas of opportunity, challenges to overcome, and everything in between on the most in depth Dolphins preview show in existence that includes the three keys to the game. The Dolphins will win if dot dot dot will also cover Brian

flores as press conference from Wednesday. Buckle up because we have a busy, busy Thursday edition of the Drivetime Podcast from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is you just heard it, the Drivetime Podcast. Can you believe it's Week six already? I mean, personally, this season has passed by at a snail's pace for your boy, but it does seem like the season has this crazy

ability to go faster every single season. Even when it's not going by fast, it still goes by fast, if that makes any sense whatsoever. All right, less than a minute into the podcast when we're off the rails, So we're previewing another game here on this Thursday edition, a neutral site affair with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have fallen on some tough times as of recently, though they are showing signs of progress on the field, if you want

to believe that or not. They haven't won a game since Week one last year when Gardner Minshew was the one pull on the strings Go Coogs. But recently we've seen some of the fruits of their labor coming into a little bit of fruition, and it starts at the quarterback position. Nice rhyme. One of my favorite parts of the league are the never ending butterfly effect moments that exist for every team in every play, and every player

for that matter. For thirteen weeks last year, it looked like Trevor Lawrence would be on his way up to the a f C East in the New York Jets until they win a pair of games, and now the Jags are graced with one of the highest rated quarterback prospects to come out of college in recent memory, probably back to Andrew Luck and Lawrence is coming on a bit despite what the statistics might say. More on that

in a moment. The Jaguars have loaded up on draft picks from the Jalen Ramsey trade, three picks in the top thirty three this year. Unfortunately, Travis et M, one of my favorite prospects in this past class, went down in the preseason. Tyson Campbell their other pick at thirty three. They had a second year that was their second year rather of two first round draft picks. One from class is already out in the number nine overall pick in twenty c J. Henderson and calevan Chase on the other

player they Sele did in that first round. So a very young team trying to build and grow this thing. Slow start this year, but you have to imagine they get better as things go along, as long as their coaching situation and all the stuff that going on there can get it self sorted out. But some of their later picks have been bigger hits early on, like Lavisca Chenulf Channelt who was the absolute truth like I love his game, to Von Hamilton, another good player from that class.

But I think the real story of the Jags arc is how they went from a ten point lead in the fourth quarter of an a f C championship game where they probably should have won that game because of a fumble that was not called or was called incorrectly, to essentially the entire roster gutted and gone. I mean Claias Campbell, A J. Boyer, Jalen Ramsey, Leonard four Nette,

Allen Robinson. So much of that team was dismantled and quickly right after that, like within two years of that, because team went could put pretty quickly into that season. So now it's urban Meyer trying to write this ship with all those picks. And look, we know he's been in the headlines for other since that. I don't think we have to discuss here on the podcast, But for now, it's a twenty game losing streak and just a random aside. I saw a stat the other day that they haven't

made a field goal in two d and eighty three days. Now, that's just five games this year, and then I think it goes into the last season as well. But how is that possible? Well, they're actually the first team in NFL history to go the first five weeks of the season without a made field goal. Just one of those weird staff that I had to mention. Let's get into the matchups and start here with the Jacksonville quarterback against the Miami Safeties, as we do every single Thursday on

the Preview podcast. Now, if you look at Lawrence's numbers, there's been a steady progression so far through the first five games. His game by game passer ratings seventy point one, thirty seven point to wow, sixty eight point one Wow, and then nineties six point five and nine two point one this past week. And you see it on the

tape too. He's been most dangerous in the area most of these physically gifted Phee nomens are successful with when they first get to the league and they try to gain experience of playing and developing into the quarterbacks that can consistently win from within the structure. But his ability to go off script and make plays outside the pocket and throw on the move when things get kind of sloppy around him, that's when he seems to excel the most.

And that's kind of the case for most quarterbacks in the modern day. But the guys that can I d the the defense and come up with an answer and then execute that answer on a down in and down out basis. I'm not saying Trevor can't do that, but it's pretty rare that a rookie can do it consistently, and right now he's not doing it consistently. So the matchup I look for here will kind of continue to

go on this. But like the Jared Goff plan last year where you blitzed the weak side edge on those play action boots where he would try to get naked and get himself into a clean pocket and be able to survey from there, you blitz those areas so that he can't get wide and has to basically step up and throw off the play action. Look, that's kind of what I'm looking for here in this game, and it's also where I think you point to Javon Holland one.

I think this is a good time to really empty the playbook in terms of throwing a bunch at Lawrence. As rookie quarterbacks, you want to heat him up, You want to throw as much as you can at them. In fact, Miami's played one rookie quarterback this year, and they want to know against rookie quarterbacks and oh and four against vectan quarterbacks. Don't give him the same look twice in a row, keep him guessing and try to get just a flash of hesitation. Because you do that,

everything changes for the offense. And that's gonna be the most the most typical way to disrupt the rookies game is to cause that a little bit of hesitation, and that in this game, with all the speed and talent on those fields in the NFL, it's gonna be hard

to overcome that. And one way I think you can do that is with Javon Holland, who I thought showed a lot in terms of what he can offer from a pre snap alignment standpoint and then get to his ultimate position with late pre snap and post snap rotation, going from the rat in the hole to one of

the split safeties and a two underlook. We saw him and Brandon Jones play a significant chunk of that last week, and that can of course change week to week, but I think ultimately both of those guys ability to play of a ride of rolls slot cover man, post safety rat in the whole blitz, the weak or strong side edge,

split safety look off the football. I think that flexibility can jive with the attempt to confuse Lawrence with those two young safeties, and it might even be a key matchup for me in this game as we look at Lawrence is splits versus the blitz and the splits this year eighteen for thirty nine four point eight yards per attempt, two touchdowns, two picks under pressure for fifty two five point one yards per pass, one touchdown or four picks. He heat the youngster up, you have a good chance

of having success against him in this game. On play action. Check out the differential. It's the biggest in the National Football League with play action seventy one point seven percent nine point eight yards per attempt fifty five percent and five point four y p a without play action. Keep them out of short down and distances. I mean it's a key for every single team, but especially against younger quarterbacks.

It's always going to be a key. And his two point nine seconds from snap to release is the seventh highest in the lead, and that's in the company of guys like Josh Allen, who's got two point nine one. It's tied with Sam Donald at two point nine. Trey Lance Lamar Jackson, Zack Wilson, Jalen Hurts, Kyler Murray. All those guys are in the top ten, and what do they have in common, For the most part, their play extenders,

Actually all of them are. And that leads into our next positional matchup here talking about the ability to extend plays and get pressure on Lawrence quickly and not let him out of the initial way you get in terms of pressure. Jacksonville running backs versus Dolphins linebackers. Now, will you bring Holland and Jones on those blitzes? Will be

row or mccordy will find out. Will you bring Jerome Baker, Sam Ego Van or the fifth man down on the ball, whether it's Andrew Van Ginkle or Jalen Phillips, whoever the heck it is that you line up on the football. That's what I'm looking for here, the cat and mouse game with the linebackers versus James Robinson. Because Robinson's playing seventy Jacksonville snaps this year, but only eighteen of those

total snaps come as a pass protector. And if that's the plan against blitzes in this game, the speeds up Lawrence's clock significantly. Blitz the crap out of running back because five guys to block five, or even if you bring the six guy and you send that six guy. In addition to the games that Miami runs up front with a offensive line that has a bunch of new guys working in right now in terms of starters and communication up front, we'll get to that here in just

one second. They're gonna have to win quickly against coverage if that's the route you take. And guess what exaving Howard Byron Jones exists out there. So I think this matchup bodes well. On those eighteen snaps, Pro Football Focus has Robinson with three pressures allowed. But he will hurt you with the football in his hands. That's why I say you try to find a way to blitz him and make him stay in there and protection, don't le

him get the ball as a pass catcher. And of course the more early down success you can have against him will help keep him out of the game as well. He's averaging four point to one yards after initial contact. Absurd. He's averaging five point eight yards per rush, equally absurd. He's forced sixteen miss tackles on sixty seven carries. See,

you better tackle better. Wrap up. You better drive him to the ground, and tackling on those early downs to get them into obvious passing situations will go a very long way to putting the clamps on them and getting this defense going like we want to see. It's been five weeks, now let's get going, boys. It's a good

chance to get it happening here. And Robinson is fifth and rushing and his one point three six yards over expected rush yards are fourth best in the National Football League, behind the two backs in Cleveland and Tony Pollard and Dallas. And he's also the middle of the pack in time spent behind the last scrimmage. Not really sure what to take from that stat, but the point is, this is

the guy that can beat you. This is the guy that Jaguars have that can control the game, that can take it away from your offense and possess the football. Do not let him beat you. Don't do it. Just don't do it now. Since they are in eleven personnel so frequently, how do you beat him. You need strong edges from both Agba and Phillips, and if it's Van Ginkle or Brandan Scarlett out there, you've gotta set strong edges and then you need good fitting inside from Baker, Roberts,

Egga Von whoever it might be. If they are in eleven personnel though, running the football out of that formation, out of that package, and you're gonna have to make a decision on a Land and Roberts because that's always your best bet to counter a run heavy attack. Right fifty two can fly in there and smack the run game and shut that thing down. But if you get them out there against eleven personnel, what does that mean? That means a linebacker on a slot receiver or a

tight end even that you don't want. So they're likely gonna pass from that grouping too. So do you want to sacrifice the cover guy for a linebacker whose game is playing forward more sort than backwards. I'm just not sure that's the direction you want to go in. So maybe it's more guys up front with just Jerome Baker out there and more defensive backs. Or maybe it's three safety looks, your big nickel look and you get Brandon Jones and Eric Row onto the field because both those

guys can come up and defend the run. So defending that eleven personnel package, to me, I look at some big Nickel. I look at some heavier defensive line fronts with some bear possibly with ray Kuan Davis at the nose, Christian Wilkins and Zach Seler at your two, your two techs head up over the guard. You bring Jalen Phillips down there, you bring I'm not sure who want the other linebacker to be on the outside edge. Maybe it's Emmanuel aug Ba out there as well. And you bring

those guys under. You get heavy, and you block those guys up and you create spaces for Jerome Baker and uh Eric Rowe and Brandon Jones to run down to fly flow downhill on. Now, that's the direction I want to go in. But to have success against the Jags run game, you also have to have a strong performance up front from those guys we just mentioned, and that takes us into the Jacksonville offensive line versus the Miami

defensive line. And Brandon Linder, who to me is the best player on their offensive line, was placed on injured reserve this week. It's a big loss for them. His replacement as Tyler Shatley. Running wise, they are strongest going right off the center. The a gap to the left of the center which was operated by Lindore and left guard Andrew Noel. Now Norwell and Shatley are going to be the new combination there, but they are averaging eleven

point five yards per Russian that gap. That's absurd, eleven for one seven yards a touchdown, six first downs, and four ten plus yard runs. It's also the gap with the most forced miss tackles. So I look at ree Kuan Davis with a big task this week in that nose position. I think about Zach Seeler playing the two technique off the defense is right side of the formation

to counteract that left guard gap they run behind. Of course, Miami has four defensive tackles that can play a lot of snaps and they've done it pretty much all year long when they've had ray Kuan Davis out there but one game and some change. But Davis's size, length and grip strength I think can help control the front and control that gap and present a challenge for the Jaguars

in that regard. Because you go back to the Arizona game in Week three, it was tough sledding for Jacksonville that day with big Corey Peters in there, but also plenty of J. J. Watt condensing inside to give them fits. That's kind of where the Emmanuel aug Bas situation kind of pokes up to me, maybe even Jolan Phillips, because Phillips is so damn good really in every area of the game right now for my money. So I look at this versatile Dolphins defensive line with Davis Seiler Butler Wilkins.

I think their ability to hold the point and stay fresh against an attack that wants to bang between the b gaps they're a play will be pivotal to give Baker Roberts and the rest of the off ball linebackers a shot to make some plays in the running game. And of course we know what the play action game does for Jacksonville as well. So interesting to go from

Lindor to Shatley. I can't say I'm super familiar with Shatley's game, but man Lindoor can really play, and he was a team captain, So it might be a good time now to call upon all those different games that Brian Flores and Josh boy Are have in their back pocket.

On defense, it's a big matchup in this area for Miami this week, but I expect and I think you have to dominate that area, to get the production, to get the running game shut down, and then to really put the clamps on this game in the way that I think Miami needs to come out and play strong. I think it starts up there defensively. Some past protection numbers here, Cam Robinson at left tackle eight team pressures allowed, no sacks and four hits. Phillips let's go man. Andrew

Norwell five pressures. He's been the best offensive lineman all year for them. With Lindoor out, Tyler Shatley zero pressures allowed. That's fourteen snaps played. He came off the bench last week. Ben bartch a j Can went on i R after the Bengals game. So Ben Barr fills in four pressures that's a sack and two hits on eighty pass blocking snaps, and then Jawan Taylor eleven pressures off right tackle with one QB hits. You have two Newish guys inside and

two tackles who are struggling. Man when inside of those rundowns, unleash Phillips and Agball on those third downs and probably some blitz is as well. With the idea of Baker running the A gap or eg Vaughan with Phillips and agball off the outside. I just feel like that's a winning recipe. Let's get it going, baby, I'm ready for

this one. As for the Jaguars on the perimeter, their receivers and tight ends versus the Dolphins corners and d J. Chark went down on injury reserve after that brutal injury in the Bengals game. I hated to see that. Chart is one of the better players in this league. And to me, it's the Lavisco Chanel Show, the former Colorado Buffalo, one of my favorite players. You know, I guess I'm a Jaguars fan at this point. I love Channault. Between

he and Robinson. Miami has to bring bodies of the party and tackle and wrap up and drive to the ground because they'll get it to him on pop asses, jet sweeps, screens down the field, mesh crossers, high low concepts. Whatever you can find a way to get the ball in his hand in motion and on the move, They're gonna do that. So keep an eye on number ten. He's also got some dreadlocks too out the back of

that helmet, so you can keep it on that. He's second and targets and has a hundred and thirty one yak yards yards after catch yards doesn't make any sense. The next closest on that team is Dan Arnold with fifty eight, but that was mostly with the Panthers as he was traded for C. J. Henderson earlier this year. For Chanalt, he plays seventy percent of the time in the slot, and then Marvin Jones the only other player with more targets than Laviska thirty four for Jones thirty

for Laviska. He plays in the slot thirty of the time. So looking at the matchup there, it looks a lot like the Bucks matchup. To me, I think xaviing Howard's a good fit for what Jones can do on the perimeter as far as matching his change of direction skill set. He's more of a technician, So I like x to getting that hip pocket, and I also like x on their most targeted player because that means more chances for interceptions.

The kind of idea, as far as being the same as Tampa Bay and hopefully with much better execution on channel, is that you bracket him, you trail, and you cap him and keep the ball out of his hands because he's so dangerous with it and that comes from Nick met Um or Justin Coleman inside with the safety or a linebacker chipping with a safety, whever the case may be. You've got two eyes with hit with eyes on chanel more rhymes. On this podcast, we're cruising some offensive notes

for Jacksonville. They run seventy of their offense out of eleven personnel. That's one back, one tight end, three receivers, and they have a fifty seven percent success rate on running plays out of that package. And just on the passing game, they run twelve personnel that's one back, two tight ends, and two receivers of the time. So basically the entire offense is one tight end he comes off the field, or the one receiver comes off the field, you bring a second tight end on for about a

quarter of the snaps. Now, this is interesting because teams typically pass better out of twelve personnel and don't run the ball as well because that's kind of against the grain, right tendency breakers, but not Jacksonville pass rates success and six run rates success. So when they get two tight ends on the field, load up, play downhill and stop James Robinson. And what does the tape tell us here?

That Robinson's a load who knows how to get north and south and he spends very little time behind the line and can get skinny without losing acceleration through the gap and to go hole. He's a damn good player. And the cog and that machine, they're gonna go to Robinson, channel and Jones and it was charked before he got injured. I'd see if the rest can beat you. And now that's three guys. That's a lot to take away from the game. But load up on those three guys and

see what everybody else can do. That's my matchup suggestion as far as the Dolphins offense go, let's flip this thing over the Dolphins quarterback versus the Jacksonville safeties. Just looking at the numbers from last game, Ryan Tannehill had a few design runs against Jacksonville to produced first downs. And just a spoiler here, one of my keys is

going to be be balanced on offense. And that's not just run game pass game, but RPO design quarterback runs give the defense more to think about and that can really help this Dolphins offense find a rhythm and get going. Maybe they play some more pace, Maybe it gets them the confidence to play with that pace and really put this Jaguars defense in a bind at quarterback with two A tungle Byloa and Flora's indicated that while it's a day to time thing, he's trending in the right direction

to play on Sunday. This offense needs a spark and I'm hopeful that he could provide that spark. Watching the Bengals game against the Jaguars, I thought was a good example of what worked against that defense and what did not. A tale of two halves. Joe Burrow had time to throw, and he attacked the matchups in that second half. We'll get to the receivers on cornerbacks in a moment, but to finish out the quarterback safety's position. Andrew Winger and

ray Sewn Jenkins are the primary safeties for Jacksonville. It's primarily a single high safety defense that's about sixties six percent of the time, and that's where you saw a lot of those numbers, or those matchups. Rather in the Bengals game present themselves with Jamaar Chase drawing one on ones on the perimeter, and you can dictate the safety based upon the formation. Maybe you put Jamaar chase as

your boundary receiver. Maybe that's Jalen Waddle this week. You get the help away from Wattle and go one on one after Wattle. They like to play that safety in the post and play lots of man underneath and press man, and opposing offenses have thrown for seven touchdowns and no picks against a hundred and five single high pass drop backs this season. The one I n t they have came from too high and they've played fifty seven snaps and that look so two to two to one disparity

there from single high and split high safety. When they go split high safety, that's when you take your chance to run the ball. When they go single high. I would throw the ball every damn time. So man beaters against that press man defense. Rubs mesh. What's mesh? It's when you run two crossing routes that basically put linebackers in a bind over the middle of the field. Kind Of a similar concept does drive, where you can run a couple of crossing routes to separate the hook zone

the curl zone of the defense. Some high low action, some slant flat action. Just really stressed the importance of change in direction and trying to fight through traffic on defense against that man coverage. But those two players scifically. As far as Winger, he plays in that single high position a lot, but he has just four for eight targets completed against him for thirty seven yards this year. Where Ray Sean Jenkins it's eleven for fifteen with ninety

yards and Winger has that loan Jacksonville touchdown. Let's continue the matchups here talking about receivers and tight ends versus Jacksonville cornerbacks. But first, Jacksonville by down this season. Listen to the past defense numbers. First down nine point six four yards per attempt, second down nine point five one yards per attempt, Third down nine point to one yards per attempt. Let's go, baby, how about these matchups. Shaquille

Griffin's the top guy. He's a nine snaptaker. Tyson Campbell was playing sixty two percent, but he got injured, so Trey Herndon played that role last week, and then Clay

or Chris Claybrooks played forty one snaps last Sunday. Those are the three guys out there you're gonna see with Herndon, clay Brooks and Shatt Griffin along with ray Sean Jenkins and Andrew Winger in that defensive secondary for the majority of their snaps, and when the Bengals went after Herndon, who replaced Campbell in that game, Cincinnati got the football Tyler Boyd for five catches on six targets for fifty

five yards and three first downs. Glen Waddle that's a bit of a problem for Jacksonville this year playing inside and that's where Waddle and Gisicky do most of their damage. I'm looking for those two guys too, to have an opportunity to have a big game, and as I mentioned, they're gonna want to press and play man. I found this nugget on Twitter from Jordan to Lugo. Campbell, Clay Brooks, and Herndon have a combined eighty six percent completion rate allowed.

So win those matchups and get the quarterback to be on time and on target and that's the route to potential success. And for two a tong of blower. Those are two of my favorite traits of his game, so I expect him to bounce back right away and get things cooking. Chat Griffin is at six compared to those six percent, so we'll see who he draws, but I might just avoid him altogether, not saying he's like, you know, prime Dion Sanders, but why go after him when you

got the other options out there? Because on Campbell this year twenty six, if he plays completions and target, it's Claybrooks Herndon ten for eleven. Let's go baby Miami offensive line versus the Jacksonville defensive line. Pressure numbers Dwayne Smoot eighteen, Josh Allen thirteen, geehaw Ward ten and Caleb and Chase on ten. It's basically Dwayne Smoot right now. And Josh Allen's got some some good rush arsenal as well, but he has the slowest get off in the entire National

Football League per next Gent stats. Hopefully coming off that right side can help keep two US blindside protected this time around. And then in the running game to Von Hamilton's, he's a tough guy to move. He was a I was a big fan of his game at Ohio State. Those of you that were with me back in nineteen on Lockdown, Dolphins knew how much I loved Davon Hamilton's And they want to play with her hair on fire

in one gap and get up filled on you. It's maybe some wham traps, some some types of misdirection blocks. Maybe you bring your tight end into the h back position and lead block him that way, just trying to get extra protection back. There's gonna be a key because I think you have so many favorable matchups on the outside. You go heavy after those guys, and you make sure too with stays upright and can attack as far as

Caleb and chasing off the other edge. He struggled with things other than just the get off that he has, and he's lacked power at the point. So I think you just try to run the football at those two ends with He and Smoot, keep them honest, keep them at bay, and play with those play off of that with those boot actions that play actions on a twelve personnel the two is so adept where you have layers concepts, flood concepts, your peel bat guy to excels in that area.

I think it's a good way to approach this Jacksonville defense with some of those looks. Dolphins running backs versus Jacksonville linebackers. Miles jack has ten run stops, he has sideline to sideline speed, He's super athletic. However, this year, he's allowed thirteen completions and on those thirteen completions yards

of yack. He's asked to do a lot on that defense, kind of like Jerome Baker here, but he tries to drop and coverage play downhill occasionally blitzes try to find out how you can get forty four, guessing that would keep this offense really on schedule. We have Miles Gaskin, who found himself into a hell of a position again the Tampa Bay game. Over the last four games, running backs and tight ends have made up almost half of

Miami's pass targets. Now, I think this is the game where you can begin to spread things back out and get the receivers more involved. With this defense and with this quarterback back, hopefully we see some of that. But Myles Gaskin could have another chance to eat. Because we talked about Jack's yak allowed men, the rhymes are coming. Damien Wilson was targeted fifteen times this season twelve catches, and nine seven of the buck eighties seven he has

allowed has come after the catch. So maybe it's a Savona Akhmed game as well. With Miles Gaskin waiting to see Savona Akman out there. Really, it's a pick your matchup type of deal. The Jags haven't been good in this department in Miami. Better not let them get there this week. Don't let them turn it around this week Miami.

Some defensive notes. They are twelve and blitz rate. They come after the quarterback with a fifth or extra rusher point three percent of the time, and their forty one missed tackles are third most in the National Football League per Pro Football Reference. Their special teams have not made a field goal this season. Can't believe that, but it's true. Josh Lambeau missed some time, but he was over three and Matthew right the film was over one, Lambo was back.

He's gonna make one. That's like how it goes, right, Josh lamb was gonna make his first field goal in two three days against this Dolphins team. It's just how it goes. But hopefully it's just field goals. No p A t s. Jamal Agnew has four punt returns for thirteen yards this year. They don't get many punts over there, but he had the one hundred and nine yard play against Arizona on the field goal misreturn punter Logan Cook averages forty eight point nine yards per punt. That's eighth best,

and it's not for a lack of sample size. His twenty two punts are sixth most in the National Football League Special teams wise, this is a battle of two of the bottom teams in terms of d v o A. Thirty feet for Jacksonville, thirty from Miami. Let's get this thing going back in the right direction for coach Crossman's unit. So there you have it. The Dolphins will win to me if they pressure Lawrence and prevent him from escaping that first wave and getting outside, and the passing game

does to the Jaguars what everybody else has done. Just let's go, guys. This is a chance Jaguars will win this game. If the Dolphins make mistakes and beat themselves with drop passes, mis throws, penalties, things they give them short down and distances, keep the game tight, and incentivized jackson Bill to run the ball again and again and again and play action off of that. That's how you're gonna lose this game. The three keys apply the consistent

pressure on Lawrence. We talked about the pressure numbers. Heat him up. Man. Let's go number Two, a balanced attack on offense. Get the ball to your playmakers. Waddle and Giziki particularly want to see the ball in those guys hands a lot in this game. And number three, let's get back to complementary football across all three phases like we had last year. I want to see a game this year where the offense helps the defense, defense helps special teams, and the circle goes on and on and on.

Those are your three keys of this game. The injury report, now, I saw some questions on Twitter. Relax, guys, Relax, okay, because the designated to return from i R thing gives the Dolphins twenty one days to pull too off the i R, just like I did ray Kuan Davis last week, who was on i R all week and practiced all week, and he was off the i R on Saturday. I imagine if Miami does that, it'll be the exact same

thing there with two a tongue of yloa. As far as the entire injury report, pulling it up on my phone right now, Miami had Xavien Howard's a d NP with a shoulder slash growing injury. He did not practice on Wednesday, nor did Davonte Parker with a shoulder and a hamstring. Jacoby Brissette was limited with a hamstring, so was Byron Jones with an achilles, and so was Adam Shaheen with a knee. Brandon Jones was a full participant with an ankle injury. On Wednesday's practice. The Jaguars had

two d nps, Miles Jack and Marvin Jones. Marvin Jones was a not injury related practice report though, so keep that in mind and talking about the offensive line injuries. Ben Barches banged up, so is Tyler Shatley. Both of them were limited in this practice on Wednesday, so too was Tyson Campbell and Roy Robertson Harris. Full participants were Dakota Allen and Laurente McCrae, the outside linebacker there for the Jaguars. So plenty of information for you on this podcast.

I want to finish up here talking about Brian Flores a Wednesday press conference. I highly recommend you go out and check it out on the YouTube channel. He was very forthcoming. He was even wearing a Clemson T shirt because he lost a bet with Christian Wilkins and had some fun banter there. So I'm not going to tell you the details of that bet of course had to do with the Boston College Clemson game, but he said,

I pay my debts. He also talked at length about coaching in Italy, a defensive coordinator for an Italy football club. Go check it out. He was He was very entertaining in that press conference talking about that and then kind of changing gears here talking about John Gruden. Man. I love the way this coach just talks and views things and his general perspective on life. Go check out his comments on John Gruden about how it's it's not great

because and this what led into the Italy questions. But he talked about how football opened a door for him to see so many things and the great meritocracy that football is in terms of it doesn't matter where you come from, as long as you can play football, and he talked about how he hates to see that possibly not being you know, the case with a certain football team based upon these John Gruden emails and everything. But he also said that I'm not one to judge a

person off their biggest mistake. He believes in forgiveness. So just really poignant stuff from coach Flores. Go check it out. On the YouTube channel and then from my pick on Thursday. Since the game tonight is Buccaneers and Eagles, well give me the Buccaneers you guys saw them play on Sunday. Give me Tampa Bay and that one. In the meantime, that is gonna be my time.
