How Jaguars stack up against Chargers | Happy Hour: Thursday, September 22

a game it's gonna be. So what? Now? What? The mantra around the bank this week and the Doug Peterson show coming up. That's at five o'clock on the Jaguars Radio Network. Head coach Doug Peterson will join us in studio. The Jaguars continuing preparation for the week three game today. We heard earlier this week from Doug Peterson on Wednesday. It is a week to week league. The Jaguars this week might look different, according to the JAGS head coach.

You do what it takes to win and and sometimes each week the game plans are going to be different. You know the way we attack an opponent is going to be different. The way our opponent attacks us is going to be different. Um, so you're you're constantly evolving and constantly, you know, Shaping your game plans. That way. What we did? Yeah, I mean, if there's a blueprint, you know, yeah, you'd want to be that balance of run, pass and and success in the red zone and all that.

But we know to his coaches that you know, sometimes it's uh, it could be a different offense from week to week just based on your opponent, depending on how they line up. For sure. Let's hear from the quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, on carrying over a strong performance from last week. Definitely, I mean there's things, there's things that always that can always carry over, dependent on the defense you're playing. and Um,

certainly things do. But as far as just your mentality has to you kind of have to flip the page and you look at more. You know that you don't just luck into a win like we did on Sunday. It's the preparation to get there, the focus, all those things and you just replicate it and that's the biggest things. That's the positive you take from it and you just try to do it again and again Um. But as far as just that result, that's not gonna it's not

got many of the game on Sunday. You gotta just stick to your process and do it um every day of the week. Let's move to the defense, coming off US shut out last week over the coach and now a different challenge. Of course. Josh Allen, the outside Linebacker, explaining the game of chargers quarterback, Justin Herbert. His game speaks for himself, just like Jonathan Taylor, uh last week.

You know he's a guy that you need to keep the eye on two because if you don't play your cards right, you know he can really he can really get you in. So this week is another tough challenge for us. You know we're we're up for the challenge, man, and we're excited about this challenge. This is a good team we're about to go face out there in l a. that's actually his discussion about the running back, who's a big out of the backfield in the passing game as well.

He has three career receiving touchdowns against the Jaguars, and not on the ground. In fact, it's Jaguars happy. I already welcome in Jeff Lockhaman Jaguars analysts joining us now, and here we go. You Ready for Hollywood? You always are Hollywood. That, Ye, should be your middle l a should be your middle names. How far is Hollywood from? You know, I've never been to Los Angeles, so I think it's, you know, seven miles Hollywood considered in l A. Yeah, right,

I don't know. Yes, I'm not a coach Guy. I know that at least. Yes, it's in the area. All right. I'm looking forward to it, though. I think I could match up well. I didn't get to see the UH,

the stadium last year, you know. So it's one of the few stadiums in the NFL that I've never been to, and so I'm looking forward to you know, last year, with the covid protocols that were in place, I wasn't able to make the trip because of my proximity to someone who had covid, and so I didn't make the trip and so I uh, what what do you do during the game? I watched the game with my underwear

and eating cheetos, of course. Now, I watched the game and I had the radio on and listened to Tony and frank and eight cheetos, you know, I think that was the week I wasn't in studio either. It was the same reason. Yeah, Youtube, Ye, I watched it, did the pregame from the house. Yeah, it was just crazy. Just the last couple of years have been a little crazy.

But anyway, you know, the stadium I'm looking forward to seeing because there the Taj Mahal of NFL stadiums for many years has been Dallas and from what everybody tells me, they say that this new place in l a is something else. So I'm looking forward to seeing it, you know, just because I haven't seen it and uh, you know, it's a it's like a hole in the ground, I hear. Yeah, it's Um, you know, so that the planes don't fly

into it. They built it down instead of up. So it doesn't matter if they've played in the Taj Mal Hall, the Oakland Coliseum, the city dump, Um. The Jaguars are not fared well at any venue on the west coast all time. What is it like? Fifteen and three. Yeah, the other way. Three wins, fifteen losses. Fourth West Coast teams against the Jaguars and then the chargers specifically, owing five in California. Yeah, against the chargers man. Yeah, that's uh,

that's crazy. But here's the reality that the Jaguars football team it's always a challenge going from the East Coast to the West Coast and I think it's I'd love to know, but but you would. Do the West Coast teams have the same problem traveling to the East Coast? Historically? I think probably depending on what time the game is, because if it's a one PM game here, am there ten am. Nobody likes to play football ten am. I think the raiders have that here, unless you're playing in London. Right.

The raiders have that here this year when the raiders come to Jacksonville. The travel. The one thing that I am and was glad to hear was when head coach Doug Peterson talked about traveling to the west coast how their schedule would be and that they're traveling on a Saturday and there's been some regimes in the past that believe that traveling on Friday was the way to do it. And as a player I hated traveling on a Friday because we we did that a couple of times and

I never liked it. And the reason why I never liked it is that it almost felt like you were on a vacation trip instead of a business trip, because you know, on Friday when you get out there, you're like, Oh yeah, what are we gonna do? Where are we gonna go eat? You know, let's do this, let's do that, and uh, and so your mind has a tendency to drift and then you know, you can get distracted. You know, maybe got family, maybe got friends, and you know, we

got idle time. You know what they say about idle time and idle minds can be a problem. Is that what they say? Yeah, and I always liked it to where you just went out there on a Saturday and everybody's like, well, you know, you can't get adjusted to the time zone. Who Cares? I mean, it's not about an adjustment, it's about a mindset and that you're traveling for business and that you're going out there with a purpose,

and that's to play good football. It's not about, well, we're going to the west coast, we're gonna hang out on Friday, you know, and you know we get out there early and then Saturday, you know we're gonna find something to do because we got a lot of time in the afternoon. And No, you you travel out there to play football game and it's what it's about. And so you you go out there, you take care of

business and then you come home. You know, it's a longer flight, but people say that it's making that big of a deal. Oh, you can get you gotta drink plenty of fluids and you gotta, you know, make sure you avoid swelling. And what are we're supposed to do that anyway, like this is normal day to day walking around. And Yeah, I mean it's uh, I never really understood. I never felt like, okay, I'm on a plane for an hour and a half and then versus I'm on

the plane for four hours. Man, that extra hour and a half but really knocked me out, you know. I just, you know, I just, you know, I got these a demon and swell and no, I never felt that as a player. And I mean, yeah, I don't know. They do all these studies, you know, studies on adapting to time zones and stuff like that. Like look, I don't know what all that means, but I can just tell you that the mindset is if you travel on a Saturday, we're going out there to play football game and that's it.

We're there for business. you go out there on a Friday, then it becomes other things involved and that's not good. All right, so the Jaguars lost the game they felt like they should have one week one in Washington. I would say that. No, no, okay, they did. They had the lead. They rallied back to that's what I'm saying. I'm saying that. They're not saying that. I'm saying. Yeah, I want to make sure that you're clarifying. I'm not putting in anybody else's mouth. I said they probably should have.

Kind of did when you first said that. I don't care. Week two, the colts come here and the Jaguars shut them out. They correct a lot of mistakes, twenty four nil and the penalties go down by ten. They're scoring touchdowns in the red zone, they play great defense, they get takeaways again and it pays off. Well, now it's on to week three and okay, maybe there's a little optimism, some build up, and there is some of that, but it's onto the next and this mantra of so what now?

What has been echoed around the building this week? Sure it's not. So what what now? I'm sure. Okay, I'm just checking. I'm sure, and again I don't care, but you get the idea either way. I like that idea, though. The so what now what? Well, I love I love that from the standpoint of because, you know, on this morning I'm listening to all the different interviews from yesterday.

You're listening to Doug, listening to Trevor, listening to Josh Allen, and from Doug's press conference he talked about so what now what? Okay, well, then you listen to Josh. So what now what? Then you listen to Trevor. So what now what? So I'm not really attached to the mantra so much as I am attached to I love the fact that a coach has talked about something and that he's put out a talking point to get the player's attention and focus in a certain direction and it hit

home because they're speaking that same language. To me, that's what the important thing is, and that is that the messaging that the head coach is putting to his football team is being heard, which means that he's reaching them and that they believe in him. And that that's the part that I love of because a lot of times there's been some meetings before that you walk out of and somebody would ask you what the head coach and guys might go, Huh, he talk? Did he talk? Did

he say something? But that's good stuff. I mean that's the thing, I think that's important about that. So uh, got a lot of respect for for coaching and what coaches do. And and that's a hard job, man. It's a hard job sometimes to reach the minds because you know, in the locker room and I think from a coaching standpoint you have to be a leader, but you can't do it alone. You have to be able to have

the carriers of your message. You have to have players in that locker room that can carry your message to the locker room, to those that are hard to reach, and that's important and you obviously want to have that message being carried by some of your best players that you have. And so you want to be able to make sure that you're reaching your best players. And and so clearly the message is getting it's getting heard and now it's being delivered elsewhere from those players. Let's take

a time out. We'll come back and get into some of the matchups in this game, because there are quite a few intriguing ones, I think, especially in the trenches in this game, both sides of the ball. Let's go really really good, good matchups both sides of the ball. And some scary ones too, now, some ones that you got grave concern about. Don't be scared, bogs, I'm not scared. I'm not scared, JP I don't get scared. Sounded like

you were fear. Pr I productions, the official event production company of the Jags, has everything you need to bring your next idea to life. VISIT PR I productions DOT COM. We're on Tinton X L Ninety two point five FM. JAGUARS DOT COM. Jaguars social media as well. Today, twitter and facebook and Youtube, and we're often running it's Jaguars happy hour on the Jaguars digital network. Mike, tmse and fat Tony Jaguars today, all Jaguars, all n Bell, all the time, tended new weekdays on ten ten x L.

It's not fun, it's not comfortable. Um, you know you're dealing with just just body movements all the time. You know, I remember when I did mine. Um, sitting down, sneezing and coughing, laughing, all that kind of stuff can kind of agitate and irritate the area. Um, but it just takes it just takes, you know, time to heal. That's head coach Doug Peterson. Earlier this week Jaguars Game Day radio, brought to you by Y star Credit Union. Do Good,

bank better. And it's Jaguars happy hour on a Thursday. It's week three. The Jaguars head cross country to face the L A chargers at the four oh five kickoff time. It's so far stadium in Englewood, California, and the Jaguars, well, they think they're going to face Justin Herbert who. Well, it's Rib Watch two. It continues after the Thursday night game where he injured his ribs in the game in

Kansas City. He finished the game and threw a touchdown late and and did a lot of things after that injury. But everybody's kind of keeping an eye on the ribs of the quarterback for the chargers and of course, Doug Peterson, their quarterback in the NFL for a long time, had a couple of times in his career had a rib issue. It's it's hard to do a lot of things. We'll see what happens in this one. That's say, something to watch certainly, and it can affect the way he plays.

You obviously saw it on the field on Thursday night where he's even in running. It was an issue. Yeah, well, a couple of things wanted that. That happened in a game and it was a week ago today because they played on Thursday night against Kansas City in Kansas City and Um, so he's got some extra time to heal because of Thursday game to the following Sunday game and uh, it's it's gonna be interesting to watch and see how he responded. I had a rib cartilage issue in college

one time and extremely painful. Was it a football injury or was it something extracurricular? It was. Yeah, it was a football injury. It wasn't from the extracurricular JP. And UH UH. kind of weird how things kind of come back around right, because not long ago tyrod Taylor, was the starting quarterback of the of the chargers, has a rib injury, goes to get it injected and the doctor sticks the needle and I guess too deep and it

collapses the lung. I guess that he and now tyrod Taylor has currently has a five million dollar lawsuit against this doctor, Gazaniga. I guess. Is How you pronounced his name, who was still the doctor of the chargers. So what do you think the confidence level for Justin Herbert is in this doctor? I mean, I'm just putting on extra paddy. I'm like, Doctor, stay away from my rich and you're

not no needles. No, Oh no, you're not looking at my rist and that's got to be kind of weird, right, that whole situation with this injury and and this doctor Um. But nonetheless it's gonna be kind of a Justin Herbert Watch, I guess you can say, from now until all the way to kickoff time, because the supposedly he had light throwing on Tuesday Herbert, and then Wednesday he was going to go to practice and progress as they saw fit. So they were gonna kind of play it by ear.

Haven't gotten the injury report from today limited and it comes late because they're west coast coast team. So that's something that's obviously gonna be a big thing to kind of keep an eye on. He's a good football player, he's a good young quarterback, he's got a brilliant arm, he is he's got all the measurables and uh, I just hope that this is kind of this game is kind of the precursor of many more to come. What I mean by that the Brady Manning thing that went

on for years. Well, does the does the League have one of those? I mean right now is Josh Allen and Patrick. It's about it. Wouldn't it be great if it's a Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert type thing, where it doesn't happen all the time, just like it didn't happen all the time with the Colts Patriots, but when it did it was the marquee matchup of the week, you know. So you hope that what we're gonna see in this game is kind of a sign of things to come

in the future. And Uh, we'll see if that ever happens or not, because obviously it takes a lot of winning and a lot of successful quarterback play for that to happen. But that's me just living in my dream world, hoping that Trevor Lawrence turns out to be a great one and that, you know, Justin Herbert and him can have a lot of great matchups in the future. A lot of good weapons around the quarterback out there as well,

wide receivers, running back hecklers. We mentioned earlier, is a thread out of the backfield and the passing game and and it's a little tougher to bring down. I'm gonna argue that you don't think so. Well, look, Eckler is a great back. When I say a great back, he's a he's a nice combination of a guy that can can be a factor in in the rushing attack and

the passing attack. If you look at his numbers, not counting this year, the previous three years, he's averaging catching over seventy balls a year and that's a lot, a lot of a lot for running back. And he's been good on the ground as well. I mean he but a couple of years ago I think he had a thousand thousand, thousand receiving thousand rushing really strong back. I think it's gonna be impairedive the Devon Lloyd and the Jaguars linebackers have a really strong game against him. But okay,

let's look at the other guys. Okay, we know that UH Keenan Allen has been a great player for a long period of time and there's no arguing that. But he's been out with the hamstring. Didn't play in in the Thursday night game against Kansas City. Could he play this week? Gots something that's gonna be also that's gonna be watched closely. Mike Williams is a guy that had monster game, you know, and he's having a really good start to his year. And but I will say with him,

is he a big play guy? I mean a guy like gonna run by you and he's explosive. You know, you hold your breadth every time he gets it. No, he's just a big target and he doesn't get great separations. So we always has to make the contested catch. And Look, the reality is he's great at making the contested catch. You can't argue that. But does he scare a defensive coordinator? No, this Keenan Allen Scared Defensive Court coordinat no, they got great respect for him, though, but I don't think he

scares coordinators. But I think the quarterback act, I don't want to say scares you, definitely worries you just because he's young and he's and he's got such a command of the offense, he's got such a strong arm. But yeah, I mean I'm not I'm not kind of sold that the chargers have this whole plethora of offensive weapons and Justin Herbert is just, you know, delivering the ball all

over the place. I'd make the argument that if I had to make a choice between okay, do I take the Jaguars weapons or do I take the chargers weapons? I don't know, JP I. I don't think it's as an easy of a decision as most people would think. You know, most people probably think all hands down the chargers. I don't know about that. Christian Kirk J Rob Etn, who's the backup running back for the chargers? Tell me. Couldn't tell you exactly. WHO's the third wide receiver for

the charge question. Couldn't tell you right. I mean, are they that dangerous? WHO's their tight end? But not? Yeah, it's a good one. It's a good one. So an I think it's gonna be a great matchup. I think it's would be a good football game. And the interesting thing also about this game. Patrick Cavanaugh brought this up earlier.

When's the last time you've seen a defensive mind and head coach and an offensive minded head coach and both of them are calling plays for their offense and their defense respectively, and so that's kind of another matchup right there, because Brandon Saley is a defensive guy and of course Doug Peterson is an offensive guy. So who's gonna win

that battle? So yeah, that's a good point. Let's flip it around to that the Jaguars offense and this obviously Trevor Lawrence is gonna have a huge hand in this, but if he has time to have a hand in it right the tackles are huge in this game. Cam Robinson on the left side, of course, Joan Taylor is off to a good start in the first two weeks. On the right side. It's gonna let me just just stop you just right there, just for a second, and I know you don't like to get interrupted, but you

said Joan Taylor is off to a good start. I think Jowan is off to a really good start in past protection. I think he's got to find he's got to do better in the running game and especially a week like this, to where you really need your running game to hold those two guys at bay. Juwan has got to be better in a run game. I think cam has been pretty solid in the run game. Juan

has been outstanding in past protection. Sorry, in the round, those two guys you speak of are Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa on the edge for the L A chargers. Max Ben at this for a long time. It's his third team in the NFL. I think he's got eighty sacks in his career. Joey Bosa a couple of years shorter of a career, but both guys can play at a very, very high level and you don't want third and seven plus in this game on a regular basis.

That's bad for business. Joey Bosa, I think, is the one out of those two, that scares me the most. I think he's the one that's just ultra talented. He's got great hands, great identification. He's stronger then, I mean just so strong, and the way he plays the game, he rarely, rarely is is negated in a game always around the quarterback. I think Khalil Max Sloan down a little bit really yeah, Um, I mean not much, though, right. He's so down a little bit. I mean, you know

he's not back JP. Here's the reality is. Is He, you know, moving too that many teams because he's still unbelievable. I mean the raiders did that trade just because they couldn't. They didn't want to pay the contract and then all of a sudden he's out of the bears traded to the chargers. I mean, do you trade a great player that you think is still on the on the ascent? I'm not saying that he's a bad football part, I'm just saying that I think he's slowed down a little bit.

That doesn't mean that he's not a good player. I don't want anybody to take that the wrong way, but I think, I think this is gonna be a good matchup between, you know, these guys and this and the scary thing is is that they don't just line up on one side. They move around. They do move Joey Bosa, for the most part, stays a little bit more on the left and then Khlil Mack has stayed a little bit more on the right, but then they do they flip. So it's uh, each guy's got to prepare for each guy.

They're better study him and study him hard and put a lot of extra film study in, because I think that's where film study, film study pays off, I think for every position group, but when you're when you're talking about offensive and defensive Lineman, you really have to to finally study the the guy that you're facing, whereas a linebacker might study more of the whole big picture stuff

and tendencies with downs and you know. But if you can gain little tips and little nuances with an individual's technique or footwork or alignment things just to get a little advantage, and this is gonna be a week, I think that you're gonna want to do that, especially when you're facing two extremely talented pass rushes. And we haven't even mentioned, I think, the biggest freak on the field for the chargers. And if you can get it in the air against that pass rush, derwin James is lurking

on the back end of this defense. He got paid big time money and he's a two time first team all pro. He's had some injuries earlier in his career. Games only. How about that right? I mean that's just crazy. He's in his fifth year, only played thirty eight games and they paid him like a hall of Famer. But he's a great player to more all pros. He might be on his way. He is. He is simply fantastic. You know, when you watch the film and You watch guys like Joey Bosa and you watch guy, Khalil Mack.

You're really impressed when you watch him, but then when you watch Derwin, Derwin James, it's like a whole another level and he just jumps out at you. He's just got freakish athletic ability and talent, Freakish and he he runs so well. He tackles strong. I mean the body slam that he had on Kelsey ragged doll in the other tight end when he was kind of just lasso

and him and thrown down to the ground. I mean it's like it's very rarely that you say in the NFL that boy, he plays like a man among boys. Derwin James plays like a man among boys. Do you know who has the highest pass rushing efficiency rate in the National Football League? Pass rushing efficiency rate? Would you like ff would you like to explain what the hell that even means? Its just impact in the game, the percentage of success. The most impactful pass rusher in the

League probably this team. No, I'm talking individuals, like individual players. I mean you would think like Aaron Donald. Well, miles Garrett's number one. Okay, that makes sense. Okay, P F. P F gives grays out for pass rushing efficiency miles Garrett is number one, which okay, when Aaron Donald's probably somewhere right there in the top and he doesn't have a whole lot of snaps at number two. But derwin James is number two. Really, how weird is that? I

mean it's crazy, Huh. And his his past coverage ranking is high. Telling the guys he's a he's a he's a crazy freak. He's good when he you know, safety is typically a safety. Some are good that are up in the box, some are good back, some have, uh an ability to kind of be a cross between a safety and a corner, can play in the slot and some have the ability that they might even be able to line up and play man against one of the best receivers. I mean not, not a whole lot of them. Right, right,

there's very few that can do all that. Derrowin James can do all that and he could play linebacker. Yeah, I talked to Adam Marshal letter today, who has the call on CBS. He was a linebacker and was kind of more of it in the box type guy, and that was the most impressive thing to him about Darwin James was his ability to do it all, because that and do it all well, not just like do it all because it's asked to do that, and he kind of does okay at it. I mean he he excels

wherever they put them. Let's come back. We'll take a look at the injury report. That won't take long. Knock gunnwood. It's been a good couple of weeks so far. Yeah, we'll take a look at the latest of the charges, at least through yesterday. They have been released here as yet, as of today on the West Coast. Check out the official Jaguars podcast network.

It's Jaguars Happy Hour. It is Thursday. I'm JP Shadrick, Jeff Flagman, Brent reaverers on the video side, Joe Fortunato

on the audio as always. The Jaguars faced the chargers this coming Sunday at so fi stadium in Inglewood, California, and what a game it should be. Good Battle of quarterbacks, of Herbert ump pass rushers both sides. The Offensive Line has challenges this week on both sides of the ledger and here here's this match up, here's here's some you know, we're talking a lot about the Khalil Mack and Joey

Bosa and Cam Robinson and Juwan Taylor matchup. I think one of the ones that I'm really looking forward to watching kind of after the game, which is on film, when you can really afford that time, to watching an individual matchup is the chargers have a young left tackle who has a very famous last name, whose dad was a hell of a player for a long time for a team in L A, and that's Jackie Slater is the dad which his son, Ray Shawn Slater, is the

starting left tackle for the chargers who was a high pick, I think number one picked last year in the draft for the chargers, and he is an outstanding player. Jackie was a right tackle back in the day with the rams and his son is a left tackle and arguably and talking to Bisselli earlier today, Tony thinks he's might be the best tackle in the game or one of the top couple best tackles in the game, which is

pretty high praise for a second year player. And I was like, I haven't seen him yet and so I couldn't really make any comment on and I've been watching the chargers offense. Is Part of, you know, the week's prep. You know, you started diving into the into the film, and I already watched the chargers defense yesterday and studied them, and so today's kind of the offensive day and Tony's right. This young man slater at the left tackle position is really good. But the scary thing is is that their

first round pick this year, which is ion Johnson. He's the right guard. He's a really good player too. So they're two best offensive lineman are our first year rookie and then a second year left tackle. And so now we're gonna see Trayvon Walker, the first overall picking the draft, versus arguably the best young left tackle in football and slater. I think that's a great match up. Josh Allen too,

because they move around. How they move around a little bit but I think that's gonna be one of those get your popcorn ready and kind of watch film and watch that matchup, because I think he's gonna be a good one. Whoever ends up getting the right tackle, which is Trey Pipkins, the third he's probably the weak link him in the left guard and Pipkins has a foot injury. I think he was limited yesterday and he was didn't finish the game. He actually came out at the late

in the third quarter. From watching film. Late in the third quarter he came out and then they ended up putting in Storm Norton, a backup tackle, was not very good, and so that's something. Even though we're watching the Justin Herbert thing and the Keenan Allen thing, you know, keep an eye on the the injury front with the offensive line, because Corey Linsley, they're starting center, has a knee. He's

a captain. And then the right tackle, Pipkins, has a foot. Well, I hope he has two feet left, but he hasn't injured one of injury. But but it's crazy have me here. We are talking about multiple injuries that the chargers have and there's not one Jaguar on. Let's jumping ahead here. It's time for the injury report presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the Official Sports Medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars, where you just heard it from logs.

The Jaguars again today have no injuries officially to report for a second third week in a row, which is awesome. The chargers, on the other hand, had, at least yesterday six players on the list. They have not announced their Thursday injury list yet. They announced this one last night around seven five or so. Two players do not practice Wednesday. J C Jackson, the cornerback, with an ankle issue, Corey Linsley, the center, with that knee injury. You talked about logs,

and then four players were mitted Wednesday. Wide Receiver Keenan Allen with a hamstring issue, quarterback Justin Herbert with a ribs injury, they're calling it, the tight end, Donald Parham Jr, a hamstring, and then Trey Pipkins, the third, the tackle with a foot. Here's the Trivia question for you. Why would they call Justin Herbert's injury a ribs plural versus just rib? That's a good question. I don't know. Maybe

they just keeping it general. Well, maybe because the cartlet sits between the actual bone and the ribs themselves, maybe it feels like four ribs and it's only a half a rib or something. I don't know. I had ribs for enough, badly enough. That's the only ribs thing I worry about. Yeah, well, you know. And it is remarkable. We were on the field, practice field today during the open media time, talking amongst us and I don't remember not having an injury on an injury list this deep

into a season. Yeah, yeah, it's it's uh, you know. And again, yeah, on Wood because, uh, you know you're gonna deal with it at some point. You just, you know, hope that it's not significant. You know what I mean. Significant by means, you know, the type of player that you lose in the number of players. And you know, and you'd like to sit there and say and give credit to coaching staff, the training staff, the medical care that they get. And and yes, Kevin Kaplan, you're the

best ever, okay. And and uh, the best surgeon ever. Okay, he's fixed me a couple of different times and he is, he's an amazing doctor. And it's funny he fixes you, I go in, he's like, yeah, you're just getting old. I mean, how does that work? But my point of that is is it? Sometimes it's just it's just luck. You know. It's and uh, and a lot of this to give credit to the players for doing the right things during the week, during the off season to be ready to go. It's not all that. It's all that

combined and a little luck on top. And well, all that combined and a lot of luck, you know, because look and look at look. I'm I'm all four luck. I mean there's nothing wrong with having a little bit of luck, but that's that's a big part of it. If you're looking for the M V P of the truck game, then look no further than Ford F one fifty, loaded with impressive capability and designed to dominate work, play and everything in between. This truck makes tough look easy.

If you're watching US yes on Jaguars DOT COM or Jaguars social media for that fact, twitter and facebook, Youtube, you are looking live. To steal a line from Mr Musburger, at the Miller Electric Center just outside T I a bank field, it will be open for business. It's on track for training camp. There's been another section of the

indoor facility added today. It is amazing logs Um that. You know, I walk in here in the morning and something starting to go up and then you take a live look in the afternoon and do a little work after and you'll go back out and it's like three other things have happened. They're moving quick on this thing. Well, I mean they're putting in a ton of time because they you know, they're trying to get this thing ready completely done prior to next season, and I mean they're

working late, they're working Saturdays and I'm sure Sunday's. I mean they're all the guys that are putting the time in there. Wow, man, good job, because they are doing a lot of work. Mark lamping was on free game this past Sunday the Jaguars President, and said that all the like five employees over there. I've all had a chance to come to the game on Sunday against the colts, which was cool. And Yeah, it's good to see it's

gonna be a nice facility. It's the beginning of what could be a lot of good changes around the stadium around here. Thing's gonna be big. It's huge. Yeah, it's just a footprint. Looking at it now in the honor it's uh, it's really big. Like I was kind of joking around talking about how you the you know, the the rooftop field, right. You really could, I mean, if you wanted to, have probably a smaller practice field on

top of the roof. It's such a big I don't know how many, you two dimensional square feet it would be on top of that roof, but it's a lot you could do like walk throughs. You know, you could, yeah, get some Sun. I don't even have to leave the building technically, because you just go on the roof. Yeah, yeah, welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. That's Jeff logoman. I'm JP shadrick. The Jaguars face that chargers this Sunday, four

oh five. This is the chargers team that a lot of people pick to do some big things in the A F C West. It's a difficult division. Of course the Jaguars will see every team in that division this season at some point. Uh, but boy, this chargers team.

They added Khalil Mack, they've got the quarterback, but their injury concerns I think in the long run, you know, if things if they get healthy and do some things, they can still be in the mix, certainly, but they're they're a little dinged up this week going through that injury report and the matchup for the Jaguars, even injured or otherwise, I think they have a chance to to

match up pretty well. Well. It's a you know, the rams have just done a tremendous job in the last year, obviously winning a super bowl, and I don't know if, if the chargers aren't better than them this year. And a lot of people say, well, you know, the rams want a super bowl. Okay, and every year is different and this team, I think, and the chargers, has some momentum just from a personnel standpoint. When you look at them position by position, they have a lot of really

good players. I mean offense, we we know we talked about Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and and Ekeler, the running back, but on the defensive side of the ball, we've talked about Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa and Erwin Derwin James, but we didn't even make any mention about J C Jackson, who has had seventeen interceptions in the last has two season, who they got in free agency, you know, a high pick from a year ago who, oh, by the way, you might know

his dad's name. Okay, because his name is a Sante Samuel Jr. Wait a minute, so he's related to Sante Samuel Sr. That's incredible. Thanks, loves right there. You are all over it. But Kyle Van Noy, Kyle Vanoy was a really good football player for the Patriots and uh, he's still a good football player now and as far as a blitzer, he does some good things as a pass rusher too. I mean this is this is a challenging game with with a lot of really good components.

They're they're defensive minded. Head coach is supposedly has a great mind for defense or doing a lot of different things. So this is a good football game. It's gonna be a good matchup. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Jaguars offense and how cree Etive we've seen them be in the first two weeks and now in the first week. Some of those opportunities didn't end up getting executed, but the number of opportunities that they had in week one and then the number of opportunities that they had in

week two that they did execute. Does that continue? Because this is a really good defense and you had a really good defense in week one and you didn't quite execute not a great defense in week two. Now you're going back to a really good defense with a lot of really good components and uh, I think it's gonna be a great challenge for this offense and Doug Peterson and his offensive staff. We'll hear from my Doug Peterson coming up about seven or eight minutes from now, top

of the hour. You know that. I think that the Jaguars can help themselves with because we we know that this offense, or any offense, works better when you have a good running game. I think this week it's it's imperative that you get the running game going to take the pressure off of the tackles, to take the pressure off of your young quarterbacks, and so I think James Robinson is gonna be a huge part of this game

if you're gonna get a win. Let's talk through that a little bit more from last week because you know, at the end of the day, the average per rush, if you're just looking at statistics, was not great. But Doug Peterson said earlier this week that just the feel of it felt better than the average ended up being, because when they did run at certain times they were effective. They had the big run for the touchdown. Obviously that's

one that's a clear one. Yeah, but play after play, I don't know how highly successful it was, but but because they were able to dominate defensively, there never was a concern that just choosing to handle ball off and okay, look, if we got a pun it's okay. You know so, but I think against. When you get to a better team, okay, then it needs to be we're gonna run the ball, but now we need to run the ball with fairly consistent and success, not just to run fifteen times or

twenty times to have one pop on. Part of the reason you were able to stick with the running game last week was because of the tempo of the game, and the tempo of the game in large part was dictated because of the takeaways, which has been a huge, dramatic change from last year. You know, here's a number for you, J P. I can't wait. The Jaguars offense in got sixteen points off of the NFL low nine

takeaways that the defense had. That's like, I mean the takeaway total is bad enough, but to get only sixteen all season off of the nine takeaways that the defense has, when you thought it couldn't get worse, this year, six takeaways by the defense in two games. In two games, seventeen points off of those six takeaways. So you have now exceeded in two games this year the number of points off of defensive takeaways. Two Games all it took to surpass an entire year's total from one yeah, that's

crazy right. Oh, yes, it's crazy to be that bad at it last year to begin with, but now it's starting to come back the other way and it may only take you. I'M NOT gonna say it, and no, say, I'm not talking about you can't. I can't say it. You just said you can't say. You gotta say it. I'm just saying that. You know, they're not far away from surpassing last year's total and I'm I expect them to be able to surpass it fairly soon. I'm not gonna say anything. To give me a break. You don't

think you get three more turnovers in the next fifteen games? No, no, no, I'm not talking. I'm just I was gonna say that. You know, I looked there on pace to break that or to tie that little this week. Yeah, so what three? I's wrong with expecting, not trying to jinx anything. Are you gonna get over that? No, no, no, it's really ridiculous. I'm not gonna hit or no hit, or no hit,

or no hit or no hitter. I'm that guy. Yes, always have been that guy now, but it is, it's impressive and uh, and I can tell you we, we uh, the moment that you get a zero, a shutout, it's awesome. I mean yeah, but it beats given up points. Well, I mean points is one thing and takeaways is another, but man, getting to zero, it's not easy to do. And and that was the second game as a coordinator in the NFL for Mike Caldwell too. Pretty Awes Up,

pretty awesome, and the whole staff, everybody. Could you just tell that when that game the first of all, when the game kind of gets under control and victory is not in the balance anymore, but then you watch the players and you watch the team, you could tell that at that point it was about the zero. And Andre Zisco said that on Monday after the game. Of course zero, no doubt. Sti't come around too often. Uh, it's not very often to get it. So when you got an opportunity,

you gotta go for it. Alright, tonight on television locks it's Jaguars all access live from strings brewery in Springfield. And with the Red Sox Yankees game on Fox thirty tonight, Aaron Judge is sitting at Sixty home runs for the Yankees. The Fox coverage will take over that game on Fox. So the change to tonight's show, Jaguars all access on CBS forty seven tonight. Um and Josh Allen, of course, is the permanent guest host. Who's the special guest, by

the way? WHO had a multi sack game against two of them, one Indianapolis Colts team. That was nice. Is the special guest tonight? Ray Shawn Jenkins. He also had a nice game, who got his first interception as a Jaguar. How about? He had four passes defense in the game last week. All of last season combined, he had three. Yeah, that's remarkable. A lot of things are happening in a very short period of time compared to last year's debacle. Yes,

so I'm sure he'll have plenty to say. Two good defensive players on the show at strings tonight and seven o'clock right. The one thing, yeah, it's at seven o'clock. The one thing I've always liked about Ray Shawn and watching Ray Sean is he's got a high level of energy. Shack and Ray Sewan when when they go to practice or are are in practice, they elevate the mood of the defense and and it's good to see those two guys playing pretty well and a lot of people uh,

kind of question how Shaq Griffin's playing. I think Shaq Griffin's playing playing really solid and I think he can still take it to another level. But I think they've been much better this year and very solid so far, with more to come. And another note on Jenkins, former charger, so he'll have some institutional knowledge out there. He knows in Herbert's rookie season was his last season. He knows all about the freak derwin James. Oh, yes, absolutely does. So, yeah,

but it's uh, I'm excited for this matchup. I think it's gonna be a great matchup. I think it's gonna be a great game and a lock of win. Okay, I'm gonna lock a win when the Jaguars have lost eighteen consecutive road games. I mean, you gotta. I mean anything that's possible will happen. I don't. I'm not gonna lock it because I just don't. I'm not busy. I don't lock things different show. It's a different Monday. They

locked it last week. This is an opportunity for Trevor Lawrence to get his first road victory in the NFL and to to kind of put some of that wet west coast, talk about how you know this team can't albut the West Coast and play football game and play it well, and to to continue to build the momentum that you that you gained and earned in the colts game. Coming up the Doug Peterson show. We'll here from the head coaching studio and just a few moments. Thank you

for listing. It has been Jaguars happy hour on the Jaguars digital network.
