Final thoughts before Week 8 against the Broncos | Jaguars Happy Hour | Thursday, October 27

game losing skid. It's the jaguars ninth appearance in London, their eighth at Wimbley Stadium. We'll get to that, and then at five o'clock we'll hear from the head coach, Doug Peterson joining us to get his thoughts on the game coming up and what they're trying to clean up from last week's lost to the Giants. Earlier this week, Doug Peterson on going for it on fourth and one early in the fourth quarter last week. It's been a topic throughout. I took into consideration how we were moving

the ball offensively. Quite frankly, Um and and so you know, felt good about going forward in that situation. Well that's the thing. I mean, you gotta go, you know, eighteen inches or so, right, Um, yeah, I mean you should. You should pick those up of time. You should. They didn't in that instance, unfortunately, and then the Giants drove for the game to go ahead touchdown at least in that ballgame. Last week. Now, Jaguar's cornerback Tyson Campbell discussing

this defense. It was a rough day against the run for this group, but the defense is a whole continuing to grind to get it right. I wouldn't say, uh, we're over president. I just think, like, you know, we just we're just going hard, you know, and uh, you know sometimes that can you know, hurt you. But you know, everybody you know, trust each other the few and uh, you know, willing to you know, do whatever it takes

to win. So you know, we're just gonna keep keep pushing, keep working their practice, keep learning from our mistakes, and you no officially work out for Let's go to the offensive line now, and rookie center Luke Fortner entering week eight of his first NFL season and still trying to improve week to week, constantly improving and kind of learning what you don't know, if that makes sense. There's there's

so much that you don't know. You don't know, and as the weeks going on, I figured out things that need to be better at, things that need to work on and continue to prepare for. And the vets in the room and the coaching staff have been incredible help me out and making sure I know what to expect. You're having all the use sound from earlier in the week available on Jaguars dot Com Jaguars social media as well.

We'll hear more from head coach Chuck Peterson coming up at five o'clock on the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Right Dio Network. Jeff Logaman here with us now. The big news this week, of course the Logs is the trade of James Robinson to the New York Jets for conditional sixth round pick, could be a fifth if he gets over six hundred rushing yards. That's according to John Osier on the Ozone Tuesday Morning. So on this Thursday, what does it mean for the offense going to London

this week? Well, I don't think it changes a whole lot because I think the offense had had already transitioned to E T N as their primary ball carry, just because he's been so much more explosive than James at the particular moment. And I don't know if James is completely healthy or not. And uh, I know they talked earlier in the week about how he had some neat

things going on soretness. He said, yeah, And the reality is that when you watched him at Indianapolis, you watched him against the Giants, I thought it was taking a step back. He didn't look as fast, he wasn't running on his toes and uh and that doesn't mean that at some point in the future that he wouldn't have been completely healthy and back to the James Robinson of old, But they felt, I guess that this was the best for the team for this particular time. Uh. I think

that that's an argument that you could have. You know, it wasn't the right thing to do. I mean, for me, I probably would have liked to have keep kept him, just because he's been a really good back in the past and I'd like to see him get back to that. But I also understand that sometimes it's best to move forward and just consider the rest of the running back rooms, and Michael Hasti is starting to get a little more play had that long touchdown run of course a couple

of weeks ago. And Snoop Connor, the draft pick has not been up yet this season. You gotta see what he has to offer at some point too, Yeah, at some point. And but I think the most important thing is that first, first and foremost love James. Great guy. Doesn't say a whole lot. Never had anybody that I met that said a bad thing about James. He did a lot of really good things for this football team at a time which this team was not very good, and so that was all positive. And look, I hope

the fresh start is great for him. And consider what happened last year to him. I mean, they were giving him the runaround last year, right, you're calling that the runner. I'm gonna be nice and cold. That was that was one of the worst ways that you could treated a human being, the way James Robinson was treated last year.

But anyway, you know, like I wish him the best going forward to you know, I had a chance to meet his mom too, and and they're good people, and you wish nothing but the best for for all of them. And that also means now moving forward, Travis et n starting to get warm. It feels like three straight games with over a hundred scrimmage yards and he had his first one hundred yard game last week. He did he fumbled inside the five last week. I think he's yeah,

the fire is hot and he's not perfect. I mean he's still learning to you know, the the long run that he had at Indianapolis, if he attacks the defender, that becomes a home run. Did you get me ask Fred Taylor? You brought it up last week that you wanted me to ask Fred about it. What if Fred said? He said, there's a There's so many different moves you can try there. You can try to slow down, hesitate, you can still farm him, you can do all that.

You can't just outrun him, which is what James could have made Travis tried to do, and then his past week. You know, he wasn't perfect this past week against the Giants, he has an opportunity on third and one, you know, and the much talked about fourth and one quarterback sneak that didn't work well. On third and one, if Travis follows Cam Robinson to the outside, he's one on one of the end zone and does he score maybe, but we're not talking guarantee this if he follows cam JP.

We're not talking about the fourth and one and that you don't make and maybe you do, you take the field goal there to take the points to go up by seven. All of that conversation is dead. So there's still a lot of progress to be made with Travis et N. I like what Jamichael Hasty gives them. He's a guy that's given him a lot more speed I think than James has at this moment. And uh, and then also what will Snoop Connor do. I don't know

the answer to that. In preseason, Uh, the the amount of impressive plays that he had was somewhat limited, but he was a young player in his first training camp. Ever, what will he become We'll have to wait and see. Trevor Lawrence last week, Um, would you make of his

game against the Giants? Well, first off, I thought he protected the ball well, minus the interception there at the end, which was a very poor decision which fortunately got called back because of a penalty against the Giants because it was kind of a little bit of a panic throw. He's got pressure, he turns back to his left and he just throws it without looking, and there's there's not a Jaguar receiver anywhere in that area. And fortunately it

was overturned. But he was at completion rate, which is not high enough in this offense. It needs to be pushing that seventy percent range. He this is an open Za Jones on a stick route where he's standing still at about seven yards past the live of scrimmage. He misses Z on the end zone. If he can drop that one in the bucket, that one's a touchdown, but you know that. But he still makes impressive throws JP. The one that he had to Christian Kirk, which is

a little rub route was z A Jones. He dropped that one in the bucket beautifully. Late in the ballgame, he makes the throw to Marvin Jones Jr. And he's got Dexter Lawrence all three hundred and forty pounds burn down on him and and Trevor gets smoked, I mean smoked, and he still makes the throw to Marvin. And those are the things that you like to see and you want to continue to see. Now. The challenge this week for the Jaguars offense. This Denver Broncos defense, they're not

very good on offense. We'll get to that coming up. But their defense can hang and certainly has about the season. Second in the league in total defense, first in yards per play allowed, the least in the NFL, fifteen against the run, second against the past, the most sacks in the a f C twenty two. Of those, they're number one in red zone, fifth and third down third, best scoring defense. I mean, these guys have stats on the defensive side of the ball, and that's what's keeping them

at least somewhat close to winning some games. Well, they're they're good now, I mean really good. And the two guys on the edge, which everybody knows about Bradley Chubb, he was there with Vaughan. He's a guy that's a force because he's got size and he's got pass rush ability. But the guy that really that most people probably know nothing about is the one on the other side, which is fifty six, which Baron Browning in his second year

out of Ohio State. This guy can play. You gotta ip injury last week, though, We'll see if he's well, I mean, let's see, but I mean, if he's playing this guy is legitimate just as good as fifty five on the other side. So that's it's gonna be a tough challenge for the Jaguars offensively. But uh, I like the way that this offense is trending. This Jaguars offense, I don't like some of the game obviously against the Texans,

but the two games since I like it. And there's still plays that are out there that are that they're not making. So if they just keep working and start making some of those plays that were there for the taking but they didn't get particularly against the Giants, this is gonna be a one heck of a matchup. Secondary is pretty strong. To Patrick Sarsan is a second year player and former first round pick. Stud stud. Yeah he's

a stud. So uh yeah. This Denver Broncos team has got a better record than what most people would expect because of some of the disarray that they've had on offense and with coaching. Uh yeah, it's and look, Nathaniel Hackett is a guy that we know very well. Nathaniel Hackett was here as the offensive coordinator and eventually got relieved of his duties, gets the head job in Denver, and Russell Wilson, clock management, game management have all been

in question. But make no mistake about it. This football team, they've got some really strong Posit is, like you pointed out, that defense is really good, really good. Some remnants of the old days there and some new guys coming in and it ain't the Orange Crush, but it's but it's pretty good, pretty good. It's good enough to be ranked where they are in the National Football League. Let's take a time out, we'll come back. We've got to flip it around to this Broncos offense. That boy, they've had

some questions this year. Who's playing at quarterback? Russell Wilson's dinged up. Brent Rippon got last week's start. They're both in London. We'll see what happens. There. A lot to discuss there. The Jaguars defense has to get off the mat after giving it up late in the fourth quarter last week against the Giants.

Ryan Sexton and Mike Dempsey will have the reins here in Jacksonville of that, and then uh countdown to kick off on the network at eight thirty Eastern time. We'll hear from Jaguar's owners, Shot Con. We'll catch up with him Saturday in London, UM and all that coming up that interview, I am oh, yes, Henry Hodson,

who's the general manager of NFL UK. We'll get his thoughts on the Jaguars and what they mean to the international series moving ahead. It's his first year in that role. He got that job this summer. He's been with the NFL's since scotsh two thousand seven and a few different roles and started out in the World League of American Football as a pr assistant. We'll hear from him on Sunday. So a lot coming up on the pregame coming up this week, looking forward to that. Haven't been there in

a while. It's been was the last visit to Wembley right had uh had the COVID year and then last year the broadcast team we did not travel. We actually called it from the booth right here in the stadium at home, which turned out to be just fine. And this year getting the opportunity to go back, and I think the as we leave tonight tomorrow when we land, the travel arrangements are a little bit different, the accommodations are a little bit different than what we've done in

the past. So looking well, kind of different but then also similar, I guess you could say right now, because we're you are, You're like big time, You're you're staying down in London. He's rubbing elbows with all the big timers, Like you just talked about who your interview and you know you're gonna be having drinks with Shot and the guy that's the head of the NFL over in Europe at noon. I don't think so, but ye, why not. What's the interviews over and uh and then I'll be

staying with the team. And I think it's had a place that we stayed out before the Grove, that's right. That was gosh, what year was that that we stayed at A couple of years in I think fourteen or fifteen, Yeah, fourteen fifteen, something like that. It's a fantastic resort northwest of London, near the town of Watford, and the actual old building used to be Queen Victoria's winner home way back in the old It's pretty nice set up, got got nice area where you can practice and all that

kind of stuff. So so yeah, looking forward to that because I think when when the team stayed at the Grove, when we were out there, we stayed somewhere else. Yeah, well that was that was the first year. That was a totally different side of town. It wasn't the Grove that was that was totally That was a long time ago. That was penny Hill Park that was west of London. That's what that was. That's a long time ago. Now this is the ninth trip for the Jaguars to the

UK and there will be more. It'll be uh so fills nine missing two so it'll be my seventh, right, or that was supposed to be number nine. This will be number seven for me, correct, So there you go. Um, you know I've still been trying to find a fishing or hunt spot out there in London. You know, I haven't found it. Well, in London might be tough. Outside of London you might be in luck, but I can tell or something. I have found a lot of really good pubs, JP. I have also, yeah, there are there

are many. You're like a total pub guy. What is that supposed to mean? Um, you're like a bar fly when we go over there. That's a little aggressive. That's not aggressive, that's factual, ding ding. I hit that one dead on the spot. They have WiFi, I can get work done. They have food and I can eat, and a pine or two on top of that, like if I'm not done with work from with that nothing to bar fly is not a bad term, Jake, No, I just meant it as a factual term. Are you are?

Are you not in the pubs often when we go to London, Well, I mean half the events that that's a yes or no? Okay, no, I'm not. No, that is such a lie. I deny, that is a lie. There will no we beat no international and that's why you spend your your food allow and sad like the first three pubs. That's a lie, that is true. That is all right, leave it to the NFL. If we have staff to pubs, what do you want if we had the ability to turn the camera around and to

get a second opinion in here? Okay, my man Joe Fortunado was behind the cameras over there, so Joe, am I accurate? Yes? No, no, here we go what yes, Joe? Oh, we do have the ability turning cameras from that's great, um into the microphone show. It is not his first three pubs where all his money goes, probably the first to where that's what it is. Hey, um, but I'm excited more about Amy Winehouse before or after? Yeah. Hey,

it's part of it, man, Um. We're excited about to get back and there's a lot of real quick Yeah. Typically when we go there, there is some kind of event that that we like to go to or concert or sporting events, so somehow to experience London, right, yes? Or do we have anything planned? Yes? What do we got planned. There is a Fulham game at home at Craven Cottage in the afternoon I believe for thirty London time against Everton on what day? Saturday? Saturday? And then

Fulham is now in the top ten in the Premier League. Okay, so are you Are you in charge of tickets? You're the man to talk to about tickets? I am not who is There's someone else in the building that can tell you. Off the air, are we gonna be wet we take care of Did you ask for them? Well? Not yet, but if you know, the plane takes off in like three hours. I know, but I figured that you had us take care of you know, there's only twenty thousand seats in this place, like it's a small place.

Well that's okay. I figured that you had us a seat. I mean, I mean you're like you've made more friends over there in these pubs and in a short period of time. I figured you had it take care of. The bar flies as you call them, may not have the access to the tickets. So maybe you're asking the wrong guy. If not, then uh, then I'll have to go ask somebody else. So that's Saturday afternoon. It's also the same time as the Jaguars UK pub party, which

is utra Falgar Square. That's always fun. And that's when Saturday afternoon the same time the evening. So you gotta make a choice either go to that or go to the Fulham game. I think the pub party you'll last a while, so you get the soccer game first. You can go to the pub party nex. Okay, cool, So I'm doing yesterday, Yes, hi, Joe, I got something else for you to We cheat time twice. I did that once before they turned the clocks back Saturday, and then

we come home and they turned the clocks back Saturday again. Yeah, we got two three hours to fallbacks. Really, Yeah, the UK falls back Saturday night going into Sunday this week. It happened. Yeah, and then and then we fall back the week after. I'm so confused. Yeah, just just sleeping. Just pay attention to my phone and tells me what time you get an extra hour? Okay, it's that's the whole point looking for looking. But I recommend if you're over there, if you're down in town, logs hit that

pub party. Freddie t is gonna be there. He's gonna be there. Like it's hundreds of Jaguar fans in the UK and Europe. I mean it's I mean, I've been to those before. It's more, it's it's a lot really cool. Yeah, it's cool. So they watched these shows all the time. I'm on on social media are Jaguars Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channel. Yeah, you signed more autographs over there than I mean, you're like slept over there. It's pretty cool.

I signed Jeff Lockman somehow. I don't know why, but yeah, you know, I mean do every bar you go to, it's like everybody's like it's like when cheers, you know, the Norm would walk in. Norm. I was like, JP, Yeah, I've been crazy. I've been accused the worst things. I suppose let's get back to football, now, shall we. Well, I guess we'll call it. Football has been struggle for the Broncos offense. They cannot get much of anything done.

They gave a lot of money to Russell Wilson before this season and Nathaniel Hack and of course first year head coach trying to work this thing out offensively. He now has a shoulder issue and a hamstring issue. Wilson didn't play last week. Brett Rippon made the start in his place. It didn't go well then either, and his

offense is as good as the defense is. Statistically, they're about as bad on offense the other way around twenty three and total offense thirty first on third down there, last in the league in the red zone, and the lowest points per game average in the league, just over

fourteen in each game. With all that going on at the quarterback position this offseason and everything that happened there, they can't get anything jump started an offense, no, and there's there's not really been any consistency with that offense, which you know, when you typically have an offensive minded head coach most of the time, you would expect that side of the ball to to be a little bit more advanced, especially with a veteran quarterback like Russell Wilson,

but that hasn't been the case. There has been a

lot of criticism for Russell Wilson his performance. If you actually go back and you look at his performance the last couple of years in Seattle and then also this year with Denver, it continues to go down and that's not a trend if you're a franchise that you want to have with your quote unquote franchise quarterback, because the reality is is you just gave him an extension with all this new money, which says he is your franchise quarterback, and if he's not playing like that, then that can

become a significant problem. Now, is it health related? Uh? I haven't seen prior to this past week where he was inactive. I have not seen anything on the injury report that would say that, hey, look the reason for his performance is physical. So this is gonna be something interesting to watch as the season moves forward for the Denver Broncos. You hope that the performance doesn't bounce back the when I'm talking about the performance of the Broncos

offense as a team, doesn't bounce back. This week in London, I can tell you that. You know, the the Jaguars defense right now, though, has been struggling. That's a major concern the last couple of weeks. Shaky, can't find their

sea legs, can't stop the run. Last week when it mattered in the fourth quarter, I mean, there were what Dani Rolovsky put up video on Twitter today the analyst at ESPN where he went through the film and it was he showed eight straight plays on that four minute drive where they pulled the left guard and ran power to the right. One of those they play faked and did the bootleg, but it was the same exact run formation every single down on that drive and they got

into field goal range. Did he explain why when you pull that guy out to the front side there becomes a problem. When you pull somebody over to that front side, you're you're essentially adding more gaps now because you now have another blocker on that side, and you can consistently see that the Jaguars aren't finding a guy to take the gap. Okay, somebody gets out of the gap. This is you know, defense, the National Football League is about

gap integrity. So when you bring that guard over to that side, now you have to be able to adjust and fill for a new gap that's become correct. And the Jaguars defensively did not do a good job with that. They did not do a good job containing Daniel Jones. You go back to that game against the Giants, because this is a copycat league. You've You've heard me say that many times before. You've heard other people say that

many times before. What the Giants did was they took what worked against the Philadelphia Eagles as far as what the Eagles did against the Jaguars defensively and what worked, which was a lot of the read options stuff. Again, the Eagles were able to rush the ball for over two d yards. Well, then they also took what was successful against the Jaguars defense from the Indianapolis Cults perspective, which was throwing the ball and it also having tempo,

So they blended. Brian Able blended the two. Almost he's running read option allowing the quarterback to run, but then he's also running up tempo with a mobile quarterback. Put all that together and it made it a tough day

for the Jaguars defensively. Not for the most part. Look, they were doing a great job against se Kwon Barkley, but once it got to a four minute drill for the Giants where they just needed to eat up the clock and maybe put one more score on the board, they were able to do that without any type of interference from the Jaguars defensively. They marched down the field methodically and that's that's like a perfect world for a

four minute drill offensively, and that was disappointing. So the Jaguars defense has to get better at key moments somebody's got to make a play. But most importantly, jp the entire team and the defense in particular, needs to stop having critical mistakes all over the place. Thirteen penalties, I mean in bad moments, roughing the passer, preconsecutive games with

roughing the pastor and any of this past game. When Lucan blitzes up the middle, he launches, okay, he leaves his feet and launches towards the head and neck area of the quarterback. And then when he when he gets there, he ducks his head and hits Daniel Jones right in the face mask with the crown of his helmet. That's like a double no. He can't law much. Okay, you can't launch to the head and neck area, and then you can't lower your helmet to hit somebody with the

crown of the helmet. So that was like a double mistake. And on top of that, I would say a trouble mistake because your defense had that happened in the previous two games, and they got an interception on the plate too. Well when and here's the thing, Look, the Giants didn't

score on that drive. Okay, so people say, well that, okay, that didn't matter does it matters from a momentum standpoint, because when you get a take away, the energy rises with your football team, it rises with your fan base, it rises in the stadium, and then when it gets negated, it's like the air gets taken out. And that's the part that you just can't have continued to happen. Alright, Plenty more ahead on this Jaguars defense. Will see if

they figured out the crossing routes as well. We'll get into that, and that was couple of weeks ago. A little bit of that crept up against the Giants last week to still uh injury report. We'll take a look at a few guys that were on the list at least last week and see if they're gonna get back into action. And of course, at five o'clock it's the Doug Peterson Show. We'll hear from the Jaguars head coach before the Jags head over to London to face the Broncos.

This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. Mike Dempsey and Fat Tony Jaguars Today, All Jaguars, All NFL, all the time, tended New weekdays on ten ten x L. Welcome back, it's Jaguars Happy Hour and it's Thursday. The Jaguars are headed to London to face the Denver Broncos, a battle of two and five teams at Wimbley Stadium. Under the arch, it should be eight degrees, maybe some rain blows in the mid fifty. He's welcome to England.

That's what's it's gonna be. That's the forecast. It seems to be like every day, right, chance of rain, gray, overcast, cool. It sounds like big tin weather is what it sounds like. It's fine, it's fine, but I'm I think it's gonna be exciting once again to be back at Wembley because it took a little break from it, right, Yeah, it's been a few years. And and you know the broadcast positions, they are kind of out in the open near the stands.

There's a roof over the stands, which is nice. So the field is open and I look forward to being back there. England Stadium. It's a great venue. I mean great venue, and you want to talk about packing a lot of people in there. I think it's officially like eighties six or something for American football, it can be ninety for soccer. It's a lot. It's a lot and big may Arguably the most impressive thing is that where do they come from and then where do they go?

The people, Yeah, they all appear on train means. I don't know. There's something they call it the two. There's three train lines that go in there. One is the overground ones the International or the National rail, and then the tube. The underground is the other stage. It's pretty wild because really for for a few different years, we would stay literally in the hotel and I think it was a hilt and it was attached almost to wimbley.

I mean, it wasn't physically attached, but but literally when I when I would be riding the elliptical runner or something like that, it was a baseball throw to hit the stadium wall right across the two lane street right there. Yeah. Yeah, And Broncos are staying there all week, by the way, they got over earlier in the week and uh, and all of a sudden on game that you start to

see people trickle in. And then they had this main thoroughfare which is a foot traffic throughfare which approaches the stadium from the train area, and we we got a chance to go walk through that in the days when they set it up beforehand and on game, all of a sudden, it's just turns into this. It's like an aunt colony. It's like they just people everywhere and they

go back and forth. They come from the trains and then after the game they go back that way, and then within a matter of an hour and a half after the game, they're gone. You wouldn't think there was a game there at all. They're gone. You're like where to go. It's like clockwork. It's pretty amazing. It's a

it's a cool experience. And I think the coolest thing when you go over there is the number of jerseys from different teams that will be at this game, because these people just love football and they have a lot of different favorites. And maybe somebody went to the oh seven Giants Broncos or excuse me, Giants Dolphins game and got a Dolphin's hat and then three years later went

to a Niners game and got a Niners shirt. And at the same time that you know, they can wear Jets and Patriots and not realize they're in the same division something. It's okay, it's pretty but the one thing that's the one thing I would say is that through the years. It's it's been impressive because the first year when we went over there, you virtually saw nothing Jaguars and then okay, and then you started to see a little bit here and there, and then you started to

see a little bit more. Now the predominant jersey that you see on a Jaguar game day is it Jaguars jersey or Jaguar apparel. Where you go back to the first year, you couldn't even barely find one. And so it has definitely grown over there. And I know that economically London is great for the football team. It it does very well over in London and uh and that's a good thing because the better you do in London,

the more economically feasible things stay in Jacksonville. And the Jaguars have more of a stake in this game now. The league puts on the two games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They went in on that stadium with that football club. The Jaguars signed their own deal with Whimbley, so they're putting the game on, They're putting everything on. It is a true home game for the Jaguars and that's financially

as well. Coming back time doalogs for the injury report presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let's touch on a couple of guys that missed last week's game. Jamal Agnew, wide receiver and kick returner, had a knee issue. He said last week in the locker room that yeah, it's kind of a one week We'll see how it goes.

He didn't. He's positive at least last week that he might be able to get back and get ready for this one. We'll see, though. What what differences did you see in the kick and punt return game? First and foremost, let me just kind of preface it by saying that Jamal Agnew really hasn't had that moment as a returner yet this year. He's had moments as an offensive player that you went, wow, that was impressive. But the one thing that you miss is the consistency and also the security.

I say consistency and security. Consistency and that Jamal ag knew if it's if there's twenty five yards be made on a return a kick return, he's gonna give you twenty five yards. I don't know if you're gonna necessarily get that from a Jamachael Hasty, you know, guaranteed, you know, and the experience and the trust factor with Jamal Agnew, you can't replace that. The guy catches the ball, he secures the ball, he's been safe with the football. Those

things are nice to have. Coaches sleep well at night when they have a player with that kind of pedigree that Jamal Agnew has because they know that they can trust them. Now going forward, I hope he's available to play. You know, we'll see. But then Shaq Griffin, who also didn't play last week, will he play this week? I hope, you know, because a healthy shack in a shock that

plays well, it's good for this defense. When you have Chris Hernon out there, which I like Chris, excuse me, trade When you have Trey Herndon out there's a player

I like Trey, but Trey has some short cummings. If you go back all the way to when Todd Walsh was coaching Trey Hernon and Chris Claybrooks, he would have a rotation and it was very odd when they were playing zone they would have Trey Hernan out there when they were playing man, they would try to have Chris Claybrooks out there and try to hide a little bit of that just because you didn't want offenses knowing what

coverage you were in based on your personnel. But that's what they tried to do because as we saw this past week, Trey got beat over the top with the with the deep ball and that's not his strong suit. So you know, hopefully Shock is back and uh, he's healthy and he's playing well, because the last time he played, he didn't have a great out in that Indianapolis long plane right too, I mean back issue, and if that's the case, you gotta make sure that things loose when

you get on the ground tomorrow. Well, the plane, right, I think presents challenges from for all players. Players that might just have little normal bumps and bruises just because of the inflammation. You need to get up and you need to move around. But also you're trying to get a night's rest or sleep on a plane like you're trying to do tonight, and that's not the best night's sleep. JP um right. I don't know about you, but I don't sleep on a plane particularly well. Assistance, Uh, we

will leave it that. Uh yeah, you try, you try to get good sleep, but it's hard. Sometimes on a plane, your your normal schedule is interrupted a little bit. So you try to adjust, you know, you try to catch up and maybe catch a nap when you get to London. And uh, but they've done They've done it different ways. This has been the most successful way, and so this team is doing it that way. Denver left earlier in

the week. I like that because my experience is is that when a team eaves earlier in the week, they get in the mindset that this is a vacation. Much like you've heard me talk about on the West Coast trip. When you leave on a Friday, now you've got downtime and it feels like, okay, we're on vacation. You're trying to find something to do. Well, when you go to London on a Tuesday, now, you're trying to figure out, hey,

what are we gonna do on Tuesday night? On Wednesday night, Well, hey let's do this, Let's go see this while we're there. When you travel like the Jaguars do us leaving tonight, it's a business trip and that's I think the best way to keep it. If you're looking for the m v P of the truck game, then look no further than four D F one fifty. Loaded with impressive capability and designed to dominate, work, play and everything in between. This truck makes tough look easy. Your local Ford Dealer

proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Our final thoughts coming up, and then at five o'clock it's the Doug Peterson Show. We'll hear from the Jaguars head coach. Coming up. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. When Jaguars news breaks, you'll hear about it first on ten ten X out home of the checks Inville Jaguars. Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour and the Jaguars are facing the

Denver Broncos. It's Week eight at Wimbley Stadium, London. It's a one thirty London time kickoff nine thirty am Sunday. Total leather actually nine thirty and thirty seconds officially total leather time Sunday bring. I like the idea of watching the NFL football while eating breakfast. That's uh, that's a cool thing. Kind of get up and make waffles and omelets and bacon and have coffee and or spread about this.

You could get a yeah, a big English breakfast before you head to the stadium on Sunday, beans and toasts and eggs on hosts, sausage, brown sauce, scones. I gotta say, I am we we got it made in America. Now, when it comes from a food standpoint, and I know you're a pub guy, I wouldn't recommend the scrambled eggs over there though. Is that our food that we have in the in the States, And and this is just my opinion, So all the the UK jack fans don't get upset you. I know, I think we have some

of the best food that there is. And uh, the one benefit when you travel with the team JP and you stay with the team at the hotels, that you get to eat their food a lot of times. Like I know, you're in London rubbing elbows with with all the celebs and such, there will be no caviar, okay, and you're eating caviar and and snails and all that.

That's exactly that's the other country. That's a two hour trip. Yeah, but that's where you go, and that's the people you you know, and then you have champagne and all that kind of stuff, okay, And I liked the fact that they can eat with the team and and they bring like their own chef's food over there, so they're eating their stuff more normal food, normal for us. I like that. I like American food. I do. And I'm sorry, but there's been a couple of places that we've been to

in London, Joe right, that that pretty good. Remember the first year, okay, at the place near um the hotel that we stayed at. It was the Windmill Pub, and they had beef. It was like a beef rib in a in a bowl that had the little breading over the top, and it was it was fantastic. And who found that place? Me? No, No, that was me. What are you talking about? I ordered it first, and then everybody ordered it and they were out of him two

days later. We're there all week. I'm like, I shouldn't have told anybody who No, you didn't do anything, Thank you very much, JP. I was a one of the first ones. I was the first one, one of the first ones because I was the first, I was the first one to go there, and then you and then all of a sudden, it was like the next night it was packed with jaguars Way to Go logs. It was it was ruined. It. It was my discovery. We have been back though, because that was good. That was

really good. But I will say that it's a lot easier to find really good food here just because we kind of know what to look for now. I remember my first trip overseas JP years ago, just to give

you a quick story and to not bore you. Years ago, I went over to Germany in NFL Europe and was doing games over there for Fox over there, and it was in Berlin, and uh, it was weird, weird city, okay at that time, because you know, you the walls down, but you still had kind of this separation of the city and one side of it was still the old school communists kind of field, and then the other side was you thought you were in America West. There was

the western side. The people on the side we were staying at, which was on the old communist side, would walk down the streets with their head down and they were wearing grays and dark colors and wouldn't even make

eye contact with you. On the West. It was like, hey, you know, it was cool, but I'll never forget the first time I went to a restaurant in Berlin and it was on that old part of the city, the Communist side, and I ordered something and it sounded sounded like it was gonna be like an open faced burger with a with an egg on top. And I'm thinking, Man, that's good fried egg hamburger right comes out and the meat is raw, the egg is raw. On heck, is

this you wanted protein? You got it? Somebody actually eats the stuff over here? Are you kidding me? Anyway? I was like, um, can somebody guide me to a place where I can get some American food? McDonald's down the road sir, very different by the way they have them over there too. They fish and chips, soo, gotta be careful, JP, just a little warning, Okay, they can make you gassy. Just be careful of the fish and chips. Okay, Logs, thanks for the tip. Appreciate it. A little warning. I

don't know why it is, but yeah. Another football thought here on the Jaguars defense, certainly two weeks ago, and I'm curious how they improved, if at all, in this last week against the crossing routes. They gave them up against Indy all game long to Matt Ryan who has since been benched and Andy by the way, that's another side story. How did they do last week in that regard? Or wasn't much of an issue against the Giants? It wasn't much of an issue. The passing game really wasn't

a big issue against the Giants. It was the legs of Daniel Jones and then the four minute droll Barkley kind of getting rolling and eventually getting over a hundred yards there at the end. So how do you know if it's fixed, Well, you're gonna get tested. Here's what happened against the Colts. You didn't You didn't match up

very well. When I say matchup, you weren't getting up in the face of the receivers against the team that you can do that against because you you shouldn't have been scared of their speed or their athleticism or any of that, and you didn't do that. And then you were playing some combo coverage where you're playing a zone

on one side a man on the other side. And if you're gonna do that, then you've got to be really what I say, sound on your fundamentals and on the understanding of if something happens to where your zone now one guy leaves the man cover the zone side and goes over to the other side because it's man, okay, there's not anybody over there waiting for him. You have to go you, So you're zone kind of becomes man, you gotta go right, go quick, go, And there was

a little bit of confusion in that. So I didn't see the Jaguars play a lot of that combo zone man coverage this past week against the Giants, and so will they try to do that against the Broncos. Probably not what you want to try to do against the Broncos offense that's struggling a little bit. You probably want to have Doug talked about earlier in the week. He talked about the way we need to look at take

a real strong look at what we're doing defensively. Sometimes as an offense, when we're not having great success, we try to simplify things. Could the Jaguars defense simplify this week against the Broncos and expecting a different result. Maybe we'll have to wait and see. So it's Week A. The Denver Broncos and the Jacksonville Jaguars, both teams two and five, both teams on four game losing skids. The Jaguars were two and one to open the season. They

are not now after this four game skid. It's the jaguars ninth visit to lond An all time. It's the second ever for the Denver Broncos they last came in. It's been a while, and hey, it's a matchup of teams that are really trying to figure this thing out. We mentioned the Broncos defense strong, highly rated across the board, the Denver offense not so much. The Jaguars moved the ball well on offense, can't finish in the red zone at least most times. They haven't this year, and the

defense has had some issues the last two weeks. Through the past two weeks ago on the ground last week. What are you feeling about this game Sunday at Wimbley. Well, I'm feeling this and that. Uh, because this our our last segment in this hour. Okay, I'm excited because you're calling the game for Westwood one, the play by play guy JP Shatterick, and you're working with Mike Mayock, who was one of my heroes. So congratulations to you, Thank

you very much. I'd like to thank Bryce Harper for the two run homer and the last of the eighth inning in Game number five of the NLCS, because that sent the Phillies to the World Series. And and uh, you know, um Tom McCarthy, who was scheduled to call the game on Westwood One is the Phillies radio announcer, one of them, so he's staying back to do the

World Series. So it opened up an opportunity. It worked out, And thanks a lot to the Jaguars brass Chad Johnson, Patrick Kavanaugh, the whole crew, everybody here for you know, opening it up, giving the green light to do it. I'll still have some pregame duties for Jaguars Radio on Sunday, but then once that final our hits, I'll be over at Westwood Well. And I know you looked at your first rodeo. Okay, it's your first Jaguars game, though that you get to be a play by play guy, not

at all. Remember I've done two in the last week of the season at Tennessee and Frank was sick, and so I came in for a quarter and a half and unique and we had a fumble return touchdown. The Jags lost that game. Well, they lose many games in Nashville, but they lost that one and then uh in nineteen I sat in on Talk Sport radio in the UK and I the fourth quarter play by play that game, and the Jaguars turned it over their last four possessions.

So you're bad luck. JP. If if the turnover start flowing freely, I'm gonna turn around and look at you and go, what the heck? JP, it's all your fault. Get out of here. But now I have a great broadcast. I'm fired up, man, Thank you very much. Mike Mayock is gonna be a great guy to work with. He is uh, he does his homework. He's a hard working guy, and you'll you guys will do a great job. Yeah. Excited, But don't listen to them, JP. Okay, listen to me

and Frank and bassellly on the regular Jaguars broadcast. But if you want to listen, there are many ways to listen to Westwood but we'll leave that Westwood ones website. Okay, yeah, Westwood one sports dot com. You can listen on Alexa. Just say listen to Westwood one and they'll pull that up. Serious serious x M X and serious x M NFL Radio. Also it's a few different ways affiliates all over the country.

It's cool, very cool, be nice. Thank you, LUs. You know, I'm looking forward to to here and I'm gonna try to get a recording of it, so maybe it'll go to podcast. Do they podcast games? They put up highlights? Well, I know how to get a copy of I am. I also do and I'll make sure you have it. Thank you, thank you. Because in the in the bosh

man at Westwood one, okay, what's his name? Okay, how he's awesome and uh, how he's good dude, And got a chance to talk with him at length in Canton, and uh, I know that he's a big fan of your so cool stuff, cool stuff. Yeah. Excited, uh and excited for all the events this weekend. We're excited to get to the United Kingdom tomorrow morning. Now, JP, just real quick, real quick, Okay, give me a lot of advice to you have significant game day responsibility. I'm aware

with our broadcast, I don't anyway. And also no, and now this added one with Westwood One. Okay, so you're gonna need to be on your game, which means you can't be bar fly two point oh, I know this unsweet nice tea in bed by nine pm for me all weeked. You know that's just you know, okay, and and just remember what else you want when you're eating that pudding? Yes, not too much of it? Okay, thanks for the tip. I appreciate that. And I'm not going to say what the name of it as somebody like

some other people, We're good on that. I think, what do you want to hear from the head coach coming up? Uh? I want to hear about how you can get a team turned around and stop making some mistakes that hurt your your production. And that's that's gotta be Mission control. Number one for this football team this week is two. Can you continue to try to fix the fixable, which are the self inflicted wounds, penalties, turnovers, red zone issues.

It's been pretty good as far as protecting the ball, but defensively they've got to get back to getting the ball back from the opponent to help their offense out. And it's a big momentum thing, all right. The Jaguars in the Denver Broncos coming up Sunday at Wimbley Stadium. If you're going, we'll look forward to seeing you in a few days in London. If not, listen on Jaguars Radio. Coming up this Sunday morning. Coming up next, it's the

Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on Jaguars Radio.
