It is Monday, November two. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. Jaguars Happy Hours presented by Jet Home Loans and now a guy who goes through life shaken not stirred, Jay Peace Shadra Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour on this Monday. Headed into week number nine, Number nine, Number nine. The Jags get the Texans this week at t I A. Bank Field planned to get to on the show. Prisco and Boselli coming up. Minshew injured and out this week. Jake Luton will get the starter reps in practice and
play against the Texans. Dug Moron today said Mike Lennon should be ready as well defense facing Deshaun Watson this week and the Texans, and we'll get to your social questions. We'll go around the FC South, the National Football League and the not so powerful rankings that we promised last week. We will get to those as well. Let's hear from head coach Doug Morone today he spoke with the media for the first time since the bye week. Gardner Minshew
is out, Jake Lewton will get the reps. It's gonna start with these practices each day and preparation and you know all that and I think I think we'll all we'll all know, we'll know it when we see it. I don't think there's anything that's um um I opening, you know, just going there and see if he can operate, and see how he plays against the live rush. I know how he plays, you know, with a without a live rush. You know, he's done some good things, and I'm sure it will be some things that he wants
to take back. And you just hope the good plays are good and the bad plays don't kill you. I think that the truth. Pete Prisco, Tony Boselli joining us now on Jaguar's Happy Hour. How about that? Out everything? I'm excited. Oh my god, By the way, we got a quarterback change. If he plays well, he plays well, you gotta right. Oh my god, what was that? That's sorry? I didn't mean to laugh, but I couldn't read. Um. Yeah, I mean Jake Lutenine baby, and Doug did I mean
one thing he said? It wasn't with a lot of enthusiasm. He's right, and we have no idea what this kid can do. I mean, think about what we saw last night. And Bend Nucci, who is the seventh round pick, third string quarterback had no reps, barely any reps in camp, probably no O T A s at all, no preseason snaps, getting limited reps all of uh in practice in preparation for the early season games. At least he got some more reps because he was the backup one week behind
Andy Dalton. I mean, Jake Luton has had no reps. I mean, tell me last time, Pete. I mean, you know the NFL works. He worked with the first team offense um before this week. Never never like he's never had a rent, not preparing for the game plan. I mean he's in the meetings, but he's running scout team. He's the third quarterback. He is not getting any real reps until this week. And by the way, they're off today or maybe they came in today, they're off tomorrow.
They have like two days the full like on the field prep. They have to be off tomorrow. It's my point. And they were all they were out all last week. They didn't work at all during I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure the new CBA you're not like the whole weeks off. I don't think they were on the field. I think there were meetings earlier in the week, yes, meetings, but come on, I mean, we're asking this kid, you not asking what are you asking him to do? He
can't expect anything from him. Whatever you get is great point, that's my point. But it's better than starting. Mike Glenn, I don't disagree with you, Pete. I'm just saying as much as like, I think maybe Doug could have shown a little more enthusiasm at the press conference, but he's right, like what you like, like you hope the good ones are good, the bad ones don't kill you. I know he's right. It looks it almost looks like he was forced to start him, doesn't I don't know. I'm not
diving into that. Who knows, but that okay, on the surface, looking at it, didn't look that way, Tony. I'm not gonna say because I know Doug well enough. There's some days he just shows up and he's like a little melancholy, just like right whatever, Like he's looked to me, he looked tired, but he had a bye week. He should have come back revitalized. Well, they were digging deep into stuff. Come on, now, yeah, he's probably I mean you heard
what he said before, Like JP worse the enthusiast. Remember he said, like before the bye week, he's excited, dive deep, do crazy blank stuff. Where did that something happened in the office bye week, We're all that crazy blank stuffing is gonna do that? Yeah, I mean it was as the whole time he's been there, ever watched. That might have been the worst one of all of them in terms of enthusiasm. Well, I mean, I mean consider where they are right now. I mean, the starting quarterback had
a hurt thumb apparently for a little while. Uh, they've lost six straight games going into the bye week. Now they got to put out a rookie quarterback who they didn't have any offseason program to work with. Stop they don't have to they're choosing. To be clear, they could start a guy who started NFL games if they wanted to. I'm not saying they should, by the way, I'm fine. I'm agreeing with Pete that. Uh, Luton's like, find out
what you having the kid? I mean was time table just got fed up that ball he was going in there in a couple of weeks anyway, But they very easily could have started Mike Glennon one week and say let's give I'm but I'm responding with JP says they
had to do this. They didn't have to do it, and they could have gone with a veteran guy who started football games before in the NFL and those what expect and like has some understanding of what's going to happen on the field when some big defense evans hitting him in the mouth. I mean, this kid has no idea. Now, he might be great. He can throw it, he can spend it, all those different things, but what happens when it's real out there, I don't know. Well, thank god,
thank god the Texans can't rush the past. I mean, look what find out what he Isn't let him play. Yeah it might not look good, but so what I mean it doesn't. Again, it's all about evaluation. That's all this season is about. That's all the rest of the season is about. In value. Evaluation, not your eleven wins to go to the playoffs, nothing but evaluation. It's officially off the table mathematically. Yeah, by the way, what if he plays well? Good? Right? What if he's what if
he's good? Describe good like justin Herbert looking winging it all over the field. Big guy can can do all those things, and adah, it was pretty good. He's pretty good. He's not terrible. He's not like the Herbert. I'm telling you the kid can throw it. If you watched Organs they play I did it twenty eight touchdowns, three interceptions last year and the senior year by the way, Yeah,
he could throw it. And I heard he now I heard from people there that he looked pretty good throw it in the summer and the off season and training camp, the open practices that it turned some heads at least when we were out there. So it's like time out,
you're not getting hit. I get that. But we also if you remember back, I remember Blaine Gabbert during training camp, you ever was like, oh my gosh, she is the best quarterback we've ever seen, zipping him in there, and then all of a sudden, the live rush game, it's like, oh that he was ducking and chucking and ducking. It's a different story. So I don't know. I'm not saying he's I mean, but to your question, if he's good,
I don't. So you're asking me, does that change me wanting to pick a like, so, what does he plays the rest of the way, And he looks like Justin Herbert. Okay, how many games do they win? Well? How many's Justin Herbert? One? He's only one one the Jaguars, right, do they know that they have their guy? Yeah? But okay, but they're scoring a bunch of points doing it. Are a bunch of points and they win one game and he looks like Ustin Herbert, do you need a quarterback? Who's what
number my picking? Well, if you win one more game, you might not be picking too Okay, but if I'm picking you too, I'm still probably taking one of the Yah I would probably do. But it's nice to find out what the kid has need. Could be a total disaster, But Joe, go find out. Throw it around and don't make him turn the hand off on first and second down and then ask him to go make a play on third down. Let him play because you're not loses that wins and lasses don't matter. Yeah they do, Yes,
they do. You play to win the game. The losses matter. Keep keep piling those up and maybe God, God help you. The Sam darn Old will get a win somewhere. But don't the Jets have to win two because of strength and schedule. Who is it at the end of the year. Who's having easier schedule the Jets for the dag Wars. Well, the Texans will help because they stay. Yeah, we can go through this a little later in the program in are not so powerful rankings that we have in the
second hour. How about that we can do that. We've got a whole segment dedicated tonight. Okay, and whatever you want to do. I'm just saying, Um, I hope he's good. Pete. Let's let's set expectations. What are your expectations for Jake Luton in this game against the Texans? This will be the easiest defense. The worst defensive faces all. I mean, he's got the Vikings. They're pretty bad on defense too. Okay, but there I think the Texans are the worst. Yeah,
Texans are bad. Uh, the Titans are pretty bad defends. By the way, Um, what do I expect? Throw for two forty two and one? That would be first start. Now the next start, it's got to be three and one. He's gonna all of a sudden. Herbert does it every game, right, That's what I'm saying, is gonna throw for eight thousand yards is first year and look good doing it if you can look at it and see it and say
forget in the yard because we've seen guys. Yeah, when you get them like I'm not interested in like yds in the fourth quarter, when they're down four touchdowns, when you get them, it's and your eyes will tell you. Your eyes will tell you in two weeks, three weeks, your eyes will tell you if he's any good or not. Yeah, maybe in a maybe in a quarter. We'll find out if he's good or not in that game Sunday, let's come back in a moment. Plenty of quarterback talk still
to come. We'll get into the defense when we come back, and some a couple of guys that stood out in the s stood out in a very minimal way for a defensive struggling right now last weekend. Some guys that could be back on the field this week for the Jags. Your questions In the second hour from social media, we'll go around the league, the a f C South putting ahead, We're off and running. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the

When I made a statement like that, I was fired up and um, you know there there's things that you want to get done, and I think,
you know, I've opened myself up, which is fine. You know they go out there and say, oh gosh, that was that was nothing or hey, you know they was a little bit of something. Um, you know, but there we we've We've made some changes that you know, maybe some people won't be able to notice, but you know they they're they're drastic, you know for what we're doing. Do you have a head coach Doug Morone talking about the crazy stuff? He was asked about it today. What
changes he talking about? Besides the quarterback? That's that's that was his answer to what kind of crazy stuff did you have in mind? Doug? That was his answer today. So he didn't delve too uh too deep into it all the way around. No, he had a bad day to day. He didn't look like he was having fun today. That was not a good fun time for done today. Cracking jokes about bolony sandwiches didn't happen today. That didn't happen. That did not happen today. No, No, And what changes
are they talking about? Like, I'm with Dody, what what are you doing? You're gonna wear your socks lower? I mean, what what? What? What are the changes? Well? I don't know. I will remember they got rid of the fullback. That's one change that happened this week. I don't know if that's crazy, but absolutely who did they replace him on the roster with. I have to look back and see again they but I mean subtle changes that changes that big for them, but most people won't see or notice.
Look at that. I don't know. Yeah, I mean defense, I know you can't. I'm just you're just throwing stuff out there. I know you can't see what I'm saying. What like? What like? What I'm trying to think. Okay, quarterback, major change, Okay, that's one. Okay, but that was coming because he was hurt when even when he said, I'm trying to think what else is out there? Yeah, don't I don't know. I gotta go to the run and shoot no running, think the best player off the field.
We'll think about this. A who on the roster that we have not seen that you can bring up to have a significant role. That would be like, yes, that's what we needed. Nobody, nobody, you know, yeah, you know what. I haven't seen. The idea we haven't seen a lot of lately is and I think it's because he's been dinged up a little bit of channaut doing more things. Remember early in the year he was taking direct snaps and in the rounds and all that stuff. I don't know,
that's crazy. If you're gonna take a quarterback and put him in the lineup to evaluate him. Let him play quarterback? Seriously, why don't I'm just thinking out loud. I don't know who else would there be? Imagine what else is there? I don't I don't know. I don't know, no idea. I can't tell you one thing. Like I'm racking my brain. I mean, okay, offensive line, any change did you make their No? No receiver, no tight end No. I mean, if it might come back from the injury running back, no,
that's offense. Defensive line. The only thing could be switching it up and playing at different fronts. But but that's that's not happening. In a byewey, it's hard to I mean, I can't imagine it. What happened? Um, maybe start you know it could happen. Maybe you start Daniel Thomas at safety, so he started Daniel Thomas and Jared wi Wilson would be a joy because Wilson's coming back, right, So maybe
maybe you start Daniel Thomas back there. Maybe you're gonna put I can't even think of his name right now. The kid from Michigan State at Nickel, Oh, Josiah Scott Scott Nickel, that's not that's something that people would be able to see. Oh don't. I don't know. Maybe they're gonna blitz every down. It's gonna be. They're gonna they're gonna play the Bear front. They're gonna like the old Chicago Bears defense and leave their their corners on an island.
They're gonna go to the wishbone. I mean, I don't know. There's not a lot. There's not a lot you could do other than they change the quarterback because they had That's it. That's what you're talking to. Chris Thompson came off the COVID list. That's why that was the change in the fullback. That was the same day as the fullback. They had to at least Bruce Miller. Anything you can help us out here with j I'm with you. You know, we're drawing straws here, We're drawing blanks here. I don't know,
this is tough. Let's don't do just don't do anything at all that will make you win the game. Beat Well, then why don't I even play the game? Just just pack up, stay home. Sunday, we'll go to the bar. Watched on TV. Evaluation all about evaluation, I mean and that, and you have a TV contract that says you have to play. You're not trying to win the game. How many people are allowed the stadium on Sunday? How many will be there? Seen thousands? Do you think there'll be
that many there? I don't know. Why not, Pete? Why are you so negative? If I'm being positive, lose them all, get a second pick overall and get get a quarterback. How about that that positive enough for you? We're better yet by Jets apparel. We're it all around town, but signed in ner yard, your big Jets fan, and hope they lose a couple, win a couple of games and you get the number one overall. But then you got Jake Lout. Is this gonna be? Is this gonna be resounding?
Tom that we come back to every week about losing every game to get the number one picky? This might be every segment with him, Tony unless you unless you win one and then you ruin it and then I can't go back there anymore. Well, they got they got opportunity into teams Texas team that's not very good. I mean I feel better that if Garter was starting, he could be a better chance of winning. But we'll see.
But the big thing is is the defense. I mean, this defense is given up thirty points or more a game the last six games. Only two other franchises in the history of the NFL have done that eighty four Vikings and sixty eight Proncos. And they're facing the DeShawn Watson. I mean, if Houston could do anything, they can score some points, and so will they be able to break the thirty point No? Do you think that You think Houston scores more thirty? Yes, that means it's Lutenie. He's
gonna have to put up some big numbers. Do you think they break the thirty points? Street um gone to head? No? Oh, there you go. Do you win this week? Yeah? This week? They have a chance to this week, but I know they have a chance to lining up three football. We don't have a chance. I'll say yes just for argument's sake. Yes, I don't want argument's sake. I ask you, what in your gut you really right? Just you think? No, Okay, you're trying. So that's a clean sweep across the board.
We all think they're giving up thirty this week. I'm trying to be negative, but it is what it is. You know, but okay, with that as the back drop, is Luton going to score thirties? Do you think they can get shout? Toy said they have a chance to win and and he feels they this is an opportunity to win. So if you think that the Texans are scored over thirty, you think Luton's gonna get their shootout
with I mean, Gardner wasn't fuming up thirty either. By the way, how many times do you think the Texans have scored thirty points this year? Well? I know one time right and they scored him against a garbage time against a couple of teams coming out how many times? How many times? But the Packers they scored thirty. I think it was alway scored twenty there only twice against us in the Titan they'll score thirty again. Um, and could we see some trades by the Texans at the
deadline getting rid of Fuller and J. J. Watt. They're not gonna get rid of j sounding like they're going to keep everybody around with the count and they're not gonna get rid of J. J. Watt as a franchise dumping you happened, Wait a minute, it happened is uh, are they gonna get rid of Fuller? Maybe I would h well, then maybe they won't score thirty. Then they're scoring thirty. I'm gonna change my tune. I don't think they scored thirty. Miles Jack's coming back, Jared Wilson's coming
back Listen, they only scored. They scored thirty against US at Houston and where we played terrible. Like, I don't think they scored thirty. But then you think the Jaguars have a chance to win, then um, yes they have a chance. Everyone has a chance. Every time you think, okay, are you gonna lock it? It sounds like it sounds like there's a dinner bet coming between you two. There's no but I do. I don't think they scored thirty. I don't think the Texans score thirty, so they might
not need to. You know, late in the game, you might not need to score thirty. Might be seven to seven, You're I mean, I'm a realist. I I look, I want to see what the kid can do. I'll be honest. I want to see Luton play. I hope he's put a position where they allow him to play quarterback and don't protect them. Let him play quarterback. Let him sling it around, let him throw it on early downs, and if he stinks, then he stinks, but find out and
then what then let him play next week? And if these stinks, he stinks, then you really know, but you can't protect them. You gotta let him play and when you need me protecting people listening what you're saying there is don't just go run run tass run run tas right, because you know then you're not protecting him. You're putting him in in in the you know, line of fire.
I think I think if you if you let him throw in some first downs and then mix in the run and then throwing early downs, then I think that makes him play. Or like a quarterback, if you go run, run, and at third and eight, then he's tight and you're you put the pressure on them and they can pin their ears back. Don't do that, all right, let's come back in a moment. We'll get a little more on this offense outside the quarterback position, a little offensive line.
Talk about the defense. We gotta talk defense. We try to go there. We can talk defense when we come back as well. Second hour, we'll have your social questions, will go around the NFL.

Jaguars Happy Hour is presented in part by dream Finders Homes Homes that Fit Your Lifestyle, Next Grill, Everyone's Invited, and a Deco Visit a Deco USA dot Com. Welcome Back. Jaguars Happy Hour continues on this Monday, Week nine. The Jags face the Houston Texans at t i A bank Field one o'clock kickoff time. This week the Jacks and the Texans both coming off the by J. P. Shadrick
with Pete Briscoe and Tony Vaselli our crew. Each Monday on Jaguars Happy Hour, We're going to touch on defense. We did briefly there, but can we really call this Happy Hour the way Doug came on. I'm gonna say, like Pete, this is going to be a long spiral
with you this year because you're already down. It's like one of those remember uh kmart back in the old days, right, they used to have this wishing well like you put a coin in and it spun all the way around a bunch of times and got down to the bottom and went in the hall. You don't remember that. We're just at the top with Pete right now, and it's gonna be a long downward spiral with Pete all year of negativity until we reached January three at the bottom.
I'm being positive. I'm looking at the draft already. What do you want me to do that, I'm already looking at the draft. Have you put your first mock out yet? Pie? But but I watched Justin Fields on Saturday night. I want to I want to evaluate these guys. Come on, JP, Negativity, that's not negativity. Negativity is coming in and being morose on a Monday. And we're not morosse. We're looking ahead. We're looking to the future, which is what this team
should be doing now. The future the future we are. The future is Jake Luton right now. Future is bright sunglasses. Yeah, to shield your eyes. JP gets so mad when I'm when I point out the negative, when I say, don't win anymore while you play the game and win, He's like it, don't speaking man, I still I just can't get It's Tony. You talked about this a little bit last week too. I'm kind of with you, man, it's you play to win football games. Now I'm not, I know,
but it's just it's frustrating. JP. You're right, here's the
difficult thing. And it's hard because why I agree with Pete, if you look at the long term this franchise, it's hard to argue that if you want, like if you're just saying, forget this year in the pain and forget about all the people that you know, we have relationships within the building and everything else, just set all that aside, and you could say, um, we could get the first overall picking and get draft Trevor Lawrence, who every expert that you talked to and every coach it says he's
a difference maker. He's a every once in the you know, blue moon type of quarterback, the last one probably Andrew luck Um type of player, and you can guarantee you get him. Well, it's hard not to say, like that's the best pathway. Now, with that said, it's super difficult for me to j P because I want to win
football games, because this is no fun. It's so fun, constantly coming in and talking about all the things that are wrong and bad performance and bad players and bad whatever by coaches decisions and bad rosters and bad this and bad that, bad year after year after year too. By the way, nobody likes talking about it, and the fans don't like the talking about it. I'm tired of it. You're tired. Everyone's tired, um. And so I'm with you. Well,
Pete loves this stuff. I don't. Just a realist, So I'm with you in the sense that, yes, I want to win football games, like I would like to beat the Texas. But it's hard to argue. It is really hard to argue with Pete and his reasoning and saying the best thing for this franchise to lose every game and hope against all hope that somehow the Jets win
two games. And and Tony, I understand, if I'm a player, I don't want to lose a game at all, And I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna go out there and do everything in my power to be the best I could possibly be to try and win the game. But if I'm the best I can possibly be, and the team isn't good enough, then oh well, then you don't win. Then you start looking to the future, and you can they can say they don't they do. It's
a natural thing. I wonder if you're a wide receiver, I wonder what I like to be He catch passes from Trevor Lawrence. I wonder what it would be like to catch passes from justin field. But tell me they don't do it. They do it. Yeah, But I would disagree with you, Pete in this sense. I don't think the majority of players are thinking like that. I think the majority of the vast majority of players are thinking that we gotta find a way to win the game.
Every coach is thinking about how do we gonna win? Dave Cable and all the scout are thinking we need to win a football game. That's all that, because if they don't, then they're all gonna be out of here too. By the way, and picking those guys, what if you're what if you're DJ Chart, You're not gonna be out of there right. No. But but he's still I promise you if you're if you gave DJ Tark truth sirum, he's not thinking about Trevor Lawrence or or justin fields.
He's not thinking about that, Pete. He's not thinking about it openly, but he's fantasized. No, he's not. He's thinking about how he can be the best he can because he knows you don't think. On the Sunday when he's not playing or in the college game, he looks around, he goes, Gods, I wonder where to be like to catch balls from a guy like that. I really don't think he does instead of these passes that flutter in the air like a pump. Come on, I don't think
he thinks that way now. To that point, though, I do think it's the job of what we're supposed to do evaluating is where this team is and where the roster is today and where they sit and what's realistic and what you need to be thinking about, how does this team get better? I think it's hard for them to get substantially better with the current roster. Now do
I think the young guys can get better? And then you can think that's absolutely can't And maybe Jake Luton is like the next great, But I'm so tired of hearing about that. I guess so many six rounders have been this succession. Tom Brady, it's a it's a real small group. It's a yeah, what if it's a group, What if it's a group of two? Good shape. First, overall, when I talk about evaluation, it's taught. I also mean the same thing you do, Tony. Young players getting better
is important more so trying to win the game. I mean, I get it, not trying to but but you know what I mean. In the end game, players making progress is better than getting a fluking into a lucky win. For example, what Pete, what Pete you're saying? Is you're saying, listen, obviously everyone wants to win the game. If you're on the team and you're a coach and you're in the organization, yes,
you want to win the football game. Well you're saying, is okay, let's just step back and be a realistic where this team is right now and great if you win, okay, whatever. But most important, if you're thinking about the future and having a chance to compete for whiteouts and a chance to go to the Super Bowl and not have this conversation year after year after year after year after year, Hey,
young players have to get better. You have to find the quarterback in the future, and you gotta Otherwise you're gonna have the same conversation. It's gonna be every year. Correct. Correct. So if you have an opportunity and they clearly do to get Trevor Lawrence, then do everything in your power to get him. Yeah, but you can't. But that that's where I lose you, Pete, because nobody like Doug your own and Dave called well, the coaching staff, and these
players aren't gonna do everything. They're not thinking, hey, let's do everything we can to lose. They're not gonna try and lose games. But I'm saying, no, the best thing for him is to lose the games. I'm not gonna say you're gonna try and lose games. Nobody tries to lose. Nobody wants to lose. And if you're a player, you take accountability and how you play. If I'm on a one intent team, I'm still playing my hardest and doing my best. And that's what you gotta hope for, And
you gotta hope the young players get better. But the end game is this, young players getting better is more important than fluking into a lucky wind. Say say there's a part return for a fumble, you pick it up. In the end zone. You will be the team somehow you win the game. That's not showing progress, that's showing you fluked into a victory. Is that good for the franchise? Now? Yeah, I mean you're you're We're just saying we're talking about
two different things. What's good in the short term, what's good in the long term. I would to say the long term, medium term, the next year, the next year. Term I mean is finding a quarterback. I mean you have to you have to solve that mystery. You have to find the guy and you have to. By the way, at the same time, you get better on defense too. But that's a whole difference conversation. You know who the number one defense in the league is right now? Tampa
Bay No, Pittsburgh No. Yeah, they gave up four and fifty yards of defense. The number one defense in the league right what by what? Metrics? Scoring? Scoring? Defense? Yep, h number one, number one. Now I think they have their quarterback and he didn't do anything on But okay,
let's take the exact sceneria. Because Miami was terrible. That would you take growth like that in the next season and solidified quarterback position if you could do that of course you would, And why did that happen because they allowed young guys to develop and play. By the way, the Tampa Bay is number one in yards per game total defense. Who's number one, Who's number one in scoring Defensemi dolfins. But if you do that one metric what d v O. I don't know what that stands for.
Like Tampa is the best defense, right, Miami is the best scoring defense, which is I mean, at the end of the day, that's all that matters. That's you score compared to men. You give up and they turned the ball and they took the took the ball away. So yeah, I'm just saying, use Miami as a gage for how you can fix it. You get your quarterback, but you allow the young players during a season when it's going to be bad, to develop and at the end of the season, that's a that's a good thing. That's a
good thing for developmental the developmental process. It's not about just winning games. That's not what this season is about for Jackville. It's about development, developing players. So play the young gids you mentioned Daniel Thomas, put them in there, let them play. All right, let's come back. We'll get into some of those young defensive players for this football team, including Devon hamilton'sho had a big game last time out for the Jags. Your social questions coming up in the

A little bit of breaking news here Ian Rappaport's reporting just moments ago that we mentioned the fullback Bruce Miller was cut from the roster. He was added back to the practice squad well. Ian Rappaport says he's being suspended six games for p e D s. His agent says that he took an over the counter supplement before being signed by
the team that listed no banned substances. The players are responsible for what they put in their bodies. That's a tweet from Ian Rappaport just moments ago. Um, so there you haven't that's um the latest and long time. Yeah, that's right. So here's another one a fullback. Let's move to defense. Then, in that case, let's talk about some of these young players on defense. You mentioned Daniel Thomas
last segment, Pete. Of course, he had the block punt returned for a touchdown and special teams last week, and the times he's been on the field of defense, which hasn't been a lot. He was in there at one point for an injury for about a half of a game and lead the team in tackles in that game. Um, Devon Hamilton's had a good game last week. That gives you some promise up front on the defensive line. In the interior, by the way, I'm oppressed with him. He's
getting better, he tony. He's one of those guys that benefiting from playing. You can see him getting better. Yeah, I agree with that was his best game. I mean absolutely, I mean more reps he can get. I mean he's gonna get more and more comfortable out there. He's a big guy and you'd like to see a little bit more pass rush out of him. But he's a one technique and he's a big body, and and I thought
he played very well against the Chargers. And he's a perfect example of what's going what what will be a part of what's going forward, and letting him develop the rest of the year. You got to get Chase on going. How does going? How does he get going? He's need reps, you need you know a lot of times, you know, young pass rushers, it takes time for them to get used to working against you know, top end tackles because in college you can beat guys just with your peer
athletic ability. And he's a right athlete. Um, so he needs to continue to work on his technique. His hands is, you know, setting up guys and and understand really the art of being a pass rusher. Um. He's an undersized defensive end. So you're not gonna overpower these guys. And he's gonna have to really work on a speed and you know, it'd be nice to get a little speed
to power move and and uh and work. You know, you've gotta be able to have an inside move to keep the tackles honest if you want to have the upfield speed move. So these are all things he's have to develop, and hopefully, you know, he has nine more games to continue to work and get better. So there's a handful of guys that you'd like to see a little bit more out of as the season goes along. There. Josh Allen, here's a perfect example, Josh Allen talking about him.
It's a good you know segue. Rarely are you just gonna beat guys in this league with speed up the field. It's just like number one quarterbacks do two good a job being all the step up. And so if you don't get pushed from the inside, it's really hard. Just with pure speed, you can get into him sometimes if you get a great interior rush um And so the
great pass rushers, like look at von Miller. Von Miller is a great pass rusher, not just because he has speed, because he has a great inside move, and so it's an offensive time. You have to keep that inside move and you have to be aware of it. He also has enough power to keep you honest, and so you just can't bail out, because we bail out, he'll just push you into the pocket. And so as a speed rusher, you have to develop a counter move to keep the
tackle on it. Otherwise they're just gonna sit bail out on you, keep you in the outside, and run you around the pocket all day long. And that's what has happened in the Um chase on it a little bit. Josh Allen too. I mean Josh Allen's obviously further along. He's had the injury. UM. I still think he's a really good player. Um had a slow start obviously, But you know, it's the development of that second Excuse me, if you're a speed guy, that secondary move. I agree,
and and but can you learn that during a season? Yeah? Why not? What else are you gonna be doing? You're getting all the reps? Yeah, I agree. I think he should be doing more than he's doing. I think Josh Allen will do more than he's doing in the second part of the season. I think Hamilton's going to be a nice building block. What do you do with linebacker? I mean, Miles Miles Jack is coming back. I think he's a good player. At some point, you start taking
away reps from Shober. He's paid on a bunch of But doesn't mean you can't admit your mistake. Do you see that happening? There's not been a history of in this organization of admitting your mistakes quickly. They they make him even more complicated by just piling on top of usually. But isn't a lot of times the greatest thing you can do in any you know, I think in the NFL, but you look at the business world, anything, you know,
make him make a decision. But then guess what, when you're wrong, admit it and move on because otherwise you otherwise you just compound that mistake. So real quick, before we go down this road, I want to ask you a little more about Shobert. Then we'll get to that. What is it is the last few weeks Schobert hasn't lived up to it? And why? But he hasn't lived up for it all year? I don't think. Yeah, he
hasn't lived up to the contract. He's a he's a good sound player, but that that's I mean, he hasn't even been great against the past, which was one of his specialties. Yeah, I mean he's uh, And this isn't piling on him because if he had better players in front of him, he might be a better player too. But would you at all consider looking at like a guy like Shaq Corterman in some situations. You know, it's hard to say pete because I haven't watching them. I mean,
we didn't see these guys in preseason. We don't see him in camp. Can he cover? Can you run? I don't know. I don't think so. Yeah, he's a he's the first and second middle linebacker. So if that's the case, then you like you literally have to change your scheme where you say, okay, if you're gonna take Schobert out, you're of course check in the first down and against right I'm that first. But against regular personnel, he's your
mic linebacker. And then you bring in either Schobert for Nickel or you bring in uh Williams for Nickel and move uh him. I mean, so then he gets really convoluted and you're thinking more, a lot of thinking to be done. Then I get it, and so like do I think, um show it's great? No? Is he awful? No? I mean he didn't play well against Chargers, But there's not like there's nothing that jumps out watching the tape of him, like, wow, he's like a difference maker. No,
and he's not. You're right, he's not awful. He's not a difference maker. He just is, and they aren't just paying him so a lot. Yeah, so play Joe, play right, Dave psh idea is just making play better better. It doesn't work like that. And here's the thing that you have to be careful free agents all the time. Just because you paid that guy a lot of money doesn't mean he's like really good. I mean, like this this
league is this league. This league's history is littered with guys who hit free agency at the right time, got a bunch of money, and they were average players. They've gotta paid that great players because they were on the open market. And the only takes one team to pay you a bunch of money, right, I agree? Will Jackson will make any deals like for what, I don't know deals what we were just trade machine here all of
a sudden. I mean maybe maybe if you like the only way deals I'm making is if I'm trading somebody who makes a bunch of money and get draft picked, and you don't because I'm just who who would you be able to do? Like you can trade who You're not gonna get rid of anybody on that offensive line it makes a lot of money, are you No? I don't think anyone's gonna pay a lot of them. I mean, they're not gonna take those salaries probably. I mean, only the only guy he's hurt he's been hurt is Miles Jack.
That's a big and that's a big salary. But he's your best player on defense. Right now, what about what about Linda and uh and uh Norwell, if they given uh offensive line needy team that might want to make the playoff might be interested, all right, who Okay, let's just think this to Pete, who is that team? It's
gonna giving you something worth trading right now? I'm I'm just saying what Okay, let's just say the Eagles thought that they're they're office line has been bad all year, but you know they have a center that's a problem there.
But if this team played there, if this team played the rest of the year without Linder and played with chat Lee and BArch for chat Lee and Can is a different well by what we've seen in the beginning of the year, now, I mean, there wasn't a huge drop off on chat Lee when no lender is a better pass protective sha at Lee's probably been a better run run player. So but here's our thing. Do you think that Eagles are gonna give you a three for Linda Norma, would you take it? I would think long
and hard about it. I know that. But here's the thing when you have to when you're making the decision peat and I don't know what they're planning, like how they're planning for next year. I would hope you have a plan for like who we want to build around, and so yes, if Lender or nor Well aren't in your plans to build for the future, then yes you
take a three tomorrow. Absolutely if you say these are part of the guys because hey, we want a good veteran offensive line because we're gonna go draft a quarterback. So I look at it differently, Beat, because you have plenty of cap room pay the left tackle and if you're gonna go to the young quarterback, I want a veteran offensive line because guess what, you know it's easier
than life. Is that the learning curve is if you have an offensive line that can protect, then than a team to just get the poor young quarterback killed Andrew luck about it. Yeah, you have to think big picture here. You have to look down the road like you should be evaluating right now. If you're Dave Caldwell. I'm not as much you, Doug mor Own, but say, okay, who are the guys that I want to build with? And if I'm not building with those guys then and if
there's any trade value, trade them. Yeah, and lenders contract, isn't that bad for next year? And you don't save anybody by trading him? All right, guys, let's come back second hour. It's a bigger conversation just saying, let's trade this guy, trade that guy. Yeah, I got it to me. I'm keeping the offensive line because I'm most likely we got a workie quarterback and I want to protect. We'll continue this conversation when we returned top of the second hour.

And then the next day came in and they said it was swollen, and then they were gonna get X ray. So that was Tuesday, and then um, you know, Tuesday night, you know, we find out, you know, he has an
injury to his right thumb. So the plan is to try to get him back and I see him being n active this weekend. That coach Doug Morone. Today we've started the second hour of Jaguar's Happy Hour. J P. Shadrick, Pete Frisco, Tony Basselli. Your social questions coming up. We'll look around the FC South, around the National Football League in Week eight as well. That's the big news of the day. Gardner Minshew will be inactive this week. It feels like it sounds like from Duck Morona, and the
starter will be Jake Luton. The rookie out of Oregon states, Yes, j does does then you start again? I love it. Hold on before you answer the question. My favorite is and I do it all that time too. We never let JP get through his introduction before one of us interrupts him every time. Well that's the whole idea, every single Maybe if you can come down, I can't moderate, if I can't talk. I feel like one of these debates on TV, if you could just come back and say,
I'm JP, I'm back. Go. We're taking from there. We're just giving the people what they want JP, which is more me and Tony and lesson less of me. That's real nice. You're really negative today, You're you're this is your spot on today. Let me tell you. Let me finish first. The biggest news today, of course, Jake Luton will be He's starting quarterback this week after Gardner Minshew
injured his thumb. We also heard from Dug Maron today when asked about the timetable when gardnerments you might have injured that thumb. Here's what Maron had to say about possible discipline for holding the injury away from team officials. One, you know, if you're injured, you need to report it. You have to report it. I said to It's not like I don't understand. You know, the competitiveness and you
where you know you want to continue to play. And I said, but you gotta make smart decisions and decisions that's what's best for the team, and and and that was it. So, um, I don't think I'm gonna get involved with, you know, at least from my standpoint of any disciplinary measure. There's the head coach today when I asked about that. So apparently it happened a few weeks ago. He's been playing through it, Pete Tony go. I just
my doubts of when it happened. I don't know what why I think he's what I mean, was there any No, I'm not think he's faking. Was there any difference between the way he played supposedly before the injury and after it? Was there any difference? Yeah, it was worse on And I'll say this, I thought he was. I don't think he's been very good by the way, but I think he was really bad against the Chargers from an accuracy standpoint. But was that because of the finger? I mean, Pete,
I don't know. But you don't look at the first go look at the first ball. Yeah, but okay, but then he dropped one into the bucket on the on the deep ball. That's where you're right. It's hard, like you can't have it both ways. You can't say like, but here's everything. I've also played hurt. You know you can fight through it. And certain things work work and certain things don't. So I don't know. I think a deep ball would be the one thing that wouldn't work
any through that one perfectly. I believe him. I'm gonna I'm gonna give them the benefit of doubt. But when when did show me the play that had happened? Can we find that, Well, it happened sometime at Houston, supposal, I don't remember you. So the game you watch everyone, I'm gonna go back and look and see when he heard his thumb. Okay, I'll go dive through every plane. Get that done to stand by. I'll be back in it. I'll be back in a few hours. We'll see it
a little bit. It would be a good show with me and Jpe today. All the sudden, you want me as your cost Pete, that's great. Now you turn the table's got about as much energy as dugged in which what are you talking about. I'm just saying I trust the kid. You're saying you doubt the kid. I trust. I don't know, I'm I doubt. I don't know. What are you saying? What are you saying and you don't believe it, just say it and say it. I just have my doubts. When the injury happened, let's put it
that way. So you don't believe the kid, I believe them. When did it happen then, Pete, I don't know. I have no idea. Well, you're speculating speculation. I'm probably in the minority of If it happened and he used the game and he didn't tell anybody, a lot of people will look get out as a negative and a bad thing that he did. If I'm him and it happened, Euston, I want to play, so I'm gonna do everything I
can to play. But what if he was hurting the team I play And that's the that's what's the dog's point. I mean, that's what Doug said. I mean in depending on what had I have on from the team standpoint, I'd be upset. And so listen, I mean that we can't do this. From the player's standpoint, I don't blame it at all. Gardner Minshew is fully aware of like this might be his only shot. He might never get
back on the field again as a starting quarterback. Now remember this too, and this jogged my memory earlier today about this Gardner Minshew remember in college at East Carolina once purposely tried to break his hand to keep a scholarship. He told that story at one point. So are you saying, I'm not saying that, I'm just saying going to keep the job. I'm not saying I'm just saying that there
is a history of out breaking news. JP just accused Gardner Minshew purposing breaking his thumbs, just looking at just to try to help his career. He tried to. It's a story. It didn't happened. So I don't sign off on anything this group is saying of YouTube, because I think it's it's not very unfair to the kid. I think the kid got hurt in Houston. I think he's a tough kid in the competitor and tried to fight through it, and he just got to the point where
swelled up. Because if he hurt his hand in Houston and it was a broken what was it a broken thumb and ligament issues apparently, Okay, if he had a broken thumb, would it swell? Yeah? That's the other thing. How did you get away? I mean, like, we need to get like a quarterback on here, like do you even throw a ball with a broken I'm with torn ligaments? Well, and the other thing is, don't you think guys in the locker room would know that? People would know? Again, again,
you can't. You're not in the locker room. So how the heck could you tell? I mean, okay, let's just say, Tony, I'm gonna use you as an example. You're playing your team and Brunell's thumb is broken. You would know, and therefore window no, no, no. If he asked me the same thing, I wouldn't say anything, but they would. He would probably tell them too, Hey, guys, I'm playing with a broken thumb. Make sure you're better in protection, you would tell him what would you rather do? Look like
crap and not say anything about it now. But here's the other thing, Pete, this can happen if they're if they're minor fractures. It's not like he could have thought he just bruised it or he just had a spring. He could play through it and maybe he got worse throughout the game. It's against the Chargers. I mean, that's happened. I didn't know my shoulder was as bad as it was. I played with him for a year. Yeah, but okay,
but throwing a football, it got worse. When was the moon ball for the touchdown in the Chargers game third quarter? I think, okay, so then it got better at the game went off, It comes and goes. It's a it's a way. It's just here. Here's the cynic in me. He sees a lot of holes in the story, that's all. And I look, maybe maybe the kid. I mean, I'm not gonna go as far as saying he broke his own thumb, like JA, I'm just telling you what happened
in the pastn't believe he said that. Fact, what happened in the past, Your family is not listening. That's rude. Touchdown came with two fifty four left and the third quarter. By the way, okay, so split the whole So that whole game, the thumb was bothering him, but when he threw the mood ball from the touchdown, it was fine. Come on, do you see where you can be a cynic and the whole thing? Well, maybe in the long ball the position of the football and the thumb doesn't
hurt as much. Could you like shoot it up at halftime or something? How does that work? I don't know. Is that even possible with the thumb? I don't know. Well, I mean, I don't know. Maybe yeah, but if you shoot it up at halftime and you don't feel it, can you throw it? Made it sound like dub didn't find out until after the game, right, if you're starting
shot up at halftime? Want to know about that? And if it's if he thinks it's just a bruise, doesn't he say something to the training staff, Hey, my thumbs bothered me. Can just check it out. I don't know. Just there's just a lot of holes in the whole thing, that's all. That's all I'm saying. You're making a story. It's like, that's the one when you go out front you find like when I used to be the big guy and you find out that he fell on the
pavement somewhere after the game. I don't know, you know, like those stories I used to find out about nights on the town back in the day. Tell us somebody tell us some of them. I was never on the town. You might have been there for a couple No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no. Tell who else I think he was there. He might have been, but uh no, I mean, look, the bottom line is stuff happens away from the game too. It does. So when it happened, who knows. Maybe he
broke it, he felt, maybe he felt. It's just a lot of holes in this story. Come on, let's be real about it. When it happened home, Why didn't the team know? Why didn't he say anything? How can he throw a moonball in the third core for a touchdown when the thing is broken. There's a lot of holes in the story. So okay, in fairness, it does not look good because especially the injury, how you're supposed to report injuries. He's the starting quarterback of an NFL franchise. Yes,
bad play, you're losing, things are going. It does not It seems like we're missing something here. But I'll say this, when you're adrenaline is going, Pete. You can do things when you're hurt. That's a fact. And you can be inconsistent doing it too. So like you can make good plays and bad plays because you're hurt, and you can suck it up. And I think Gardner mentioned a tough dude. Maybe maybe he just could suck it up. And you know, some throws you can get away with it, and others
the ball didn't feel right in his hand. I don't know. I didn't play quarterback. But to your point, it's like, this is not normal. Let's put it that way, right, there's a lot of holds. This is a Swiss cheese story. It is this the matter of you can I wouldn't go I wouldn't go Swiss cheese, but we would you all right? So what would make it a solid story, Pete? Like what what would be from cutting dry? This is okay? Heard it in the Houston game and tried to play
through it. Wanted to stay on the field because he knew he wasn't playing well and wanted to fight to keep his job. People would pay him for that. I probably would. But I wonder if he just didn't put his hand down somewhere on a fall and then said, okay, I heard it. He used the game, I don't know. There's just so many holes in the story. How does it not get around, how does his hand not swell? How does he take the snap? Does he throw the football? There's a lot of holes in it. And I'm curious
if he'll be available this week to media. If they said, okay, here's one for you. If he had come out and said I hurt my thumb in the Chargers game, and therefore I have to have problem. I have a surgery on it, nobody would say boo about it, right, It'd be fine, Oh, he got hurt in the Chargers game. Now he is a broken dumb But they said he got the Texans games. So yeah, that's that's where it's like, if you're a player and you knew you were hurt and you know the rules, you would lie and say no,
I got hurt in the Charger game. Of course, yeah that is true that Tony. Now I'm as as the prosecutor since I'm so damn good at it. I have my I'm badgering the witness, and you are coming around to my side on this. There's a lot of holes in the story. Well, it is what it is. Does it matter at this point? No? Yes, okay, make your mind no pick one. No, it doesn't matter in the long term. Uh. But look, he was going to sit
down eventually in the next couple of weeks. Anyways, if he continue to play that way, let's be honest about it. I agree with that. Let's go. Maybe he broke his own thomb. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. That was not what I said. The story, it's on it. He said it himself before. I'm saying what he said before.

Welcome back, Jaguars. Happy our rolls along on this Monday. We have reached November. It's week nine. The Jags faced the Houston Texans at t i A bank Field this Sunday at one o'clock. J. P. Shadrick, Pete Prisco, Tony Boselli. Glad you're along with us today.
It is time now for our weekly social media question segment. We put the bat signal out earlier in the day. Here's what we've come up with this afternoon. By the way, is Peter sleep Tony He's going on he does out on us? Is it past your bedtime? Peak? Could you? Could you imagine having to wake up next to that every day? Jake? What about you? You know what? I was over here with a hammerm trying to figure out how to break my Let's go to social questions at
Zona Cats Fan twelve. Is it Luton time? Well? This was obviously asked before Doug Maron's press conference today, so the answer is yes, Zona Cats Fan twelve, it is Luten time. The next question will be what can we expect from Luten this Sunday? Who knows? That's that's the mystery. I mean, Doug Baron said it best. I mean, he looks good in practice, he can spin it, his big arm. You know, he's a fairly good athlete. But who knows what happens when he's got the blitz coming down his
right down his throat. How does he react? Yeah, I'm excited to see him because I've heard I've watched him in college, and I heard he looked good in the summer, and I like guys who have the big arm. I want to see what he can do. I want to see how how he spends it. Here's a great test does he do do once he gets hit? Does do his eyes lower and start looking at the rush and he can't see the field? Can he anticipate? Can you
see downfield? I mean, there's a rookie. You're not gonna expect a lot of that, But I'll be watching his eyes. Do do his eyes start coming down looking at the rush when he starts getting hit? Did Gardner's eyes start coming down? I think I think I think Gardners did. From the standpoint when the first thing wasn't there, I don't think he could see it. I think he was trouble, having trouble seeing you. And that's when he started bouncing around the pocket, trying to figure out what where to go.
By the way, now we know why he had two hands on the ball. Stop. You gotta be a guy when he's down beating I'm not beating him. I'm just being back down. Beat down. You're beating him down, ridiculous, not beating him down? You agree with me? He just don't say it. What do I agree with? I don't agree he's a backup. That he's a backup. That's what it looks like. Appears to just say it. I think I just did. From now whenever you asked me a
question that's two pointing. I'm saying, that's what it looks like. It appears that is the case. Samuel Love Duval as our next question, who would make a better president but Selly or Prisco? Oh, I would, There's no doubt about it. He's the Mariage. He's already the mayor of Jackson Mill. So he's got a much better president because you know why, it's one simple trait that Pete will never be able to get over. It's all about Pete. It's all about him. And if you want to be a good leader and
the president, you have to think about everybody. And Pete is incapable of thinking about anyone but himself. He always puts himself first, and his money first outside, maybe his wife outside. After that, it's forget everyone else. He has to say, if it's good for me, it's good for me indeed, and I think we have a president that's pretty much like that right now. So I rest my case. JP. That's the easiest question we've had in the history of this show. Tony's a smoozer politician more than I am.
Just your answer is on here a political what are you talking about it appears to be the case. Yes, just just saying, President Poselli, Um, it looks like you're gonna do something really control personal here. It looks to be the case. Come on, So I don't think either of us well, I don't think either of us want to jump. No, none of the above on this program. Want that next question from Waco Guerrina down in Argentina.
If the Jags win a game or two and Lawrence and Fields get picked before, is again any other quarterback to draft? Or do we stick with Gardener until two? And yes, Pete, the Steaks are the best in Argentina. So yeah, I said that last week. I said that, or two weeks ago when he had a question stick with Gardener if I mean, if Luton plays well, Gardener
won't play again. They're saying if you don't give the question was feeling if you don't get Fields or uh yeah, I'll tell you a kid that's intriguing now, Like guys love trede Land at North Dakota State. I haven't seen him. I watched them athletic. He's got a good arm, got weird motion. Um, I gotta do more work on him. The kid that's intriguing now this year to me, the kid at b Yu Zach watch him, watch him when you get a chance. He's accurate, he's athletic, he's cocky,
he's competent, he's got a good arm. Watch him. What's what's wrong with Trey Lances throwing motion? You mean it's goofy? It's not. I don't know, it comes out weird. Look at it. You tell me if you think it does, and just and only watch them, you know, a couple of games. But funny the YouTuber right now Trey Lance throwing motion, Pete Prescoe says it's no good. He said, goofy, but just it's just odd looking. At least I thought it goofy is what I heard. Goofy. Next question from
a Jaguar Shark, and we talked about this. Shoberg done anything this year to warrant the starting spot. I understand he signed a big contract, but at what point do you let quarterman play be you shock on based downs and you showber to Nickel, I don't know. You guys rock love the show, and that is something we talked
about earlier. Yes, yeah, but I I just don't know right you think it complicates they complicates things too much right now, Like if they were a good team and Portman was a better first and second down player, and you might do it. Yeah, So there you go. So that's a no, um not right. Next question, final question of the evening at Jordan's stand sill. Do you think Bill Belichick would lose to the Jets, a team he hates, so they wouldn't have the top pick to get Trevor Lawrence,
allowing the Jaguars to get a franchise changing quarterback. I don't think Belichick has much to say so, and how his team's playing right now, what do you think about in making the excuses he's making about the salary cap and everything. That's unbelievable. I mean, you never thought you'd see Bill Belichick doing that. They're bad right now. It's not a good team and they weren't going to be a good tea. Maybe he's taking for Trevor. No, because
he knows the Jets and the Jabar, he has no chance. No, he wouldn't do that. Right. There you go. There's our social segment for the evening. Thanks for getting him in today. We appreciate that everybody would The Patriots have a victory if they hadn't signed Cam Newton this free agent. What do you mean, Well, they were the first two games, but scheming up things, running him around? Would they have a victory if they played Jared's did him the whole year?
Would they be open? Because a guy in the league told me that that they were tanking for Trevor before they signed Cam Newton, and that he was going to figure it out a way to get Trevor Lawrence and then he'd coached him a couple of years and let his son take over and leave him with the franchise quarterback. That's a lot of concre's a lot of moving parts there. And then why would he's the one you signed Cam Newton?
I mean, I know before that, but it makes no sense you wouldn't sign Cam Newton if that was the case. I agree, but that's that was a theory that was And somebody asked me that. A guy in the league asked me that they are two and five and they've lost four in a row, and let's come back in a moment. We'll get into the a f C South, the not so powerful power rankings. A little later. We'll go around the league and recap all the games from yesterday.

I want to see you out on that field and I want to make sure I'm seeing you know, the throws and things that you made, you know, during when we're training camp and in the beginning of the year. Um, I said, don't try to try to come out there and and say, um, you know, hey, you feel good and you go out there and you're
not throwing the ball. Well, I mean, so we're just working to get him back to I don't know what the time frame is, UM, I really don't. Head coach Doug Marone today discussing gardnerments use thumb injury and Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour j P Shadrick Tony Baselli well hydrated, and Pete Prisco glad you're along with us today. You know, I was thinking about it during the break about that presidential question. You guys, we were talking amongst ourselves and
here in the studio. Could Pete even see over the podium to speak? Is that possible? Like already have to have like phone phone books to stand on. You know how many people come to Trump's rallies. Mine would have like double that For the entertainment value, it could be huge. They would be able to see me. Could you imagine all those signs all over people's lawns, Chrisco, Crisco, Crisco. That's a that's a bad thought. Oh my god, it's a depressing thought. It really is. Welcome back. Sorry for
the cheap chack. Actually, I'm not sorry at all. Pete deserve that one today. Um let's go around the a f C. Just don't cut my thumb off. Let's go around the a f C. S out. The Texas and the Jaguars are off. They'll play each other Sunday. In case you haven't heard, the Bengals beat the Titans thirty one to twenty. The Colts over the Lions forty one twenty one. What happened to the Titans feed is terrible? Have they only scored? I didn't see the game feed,
but have they only scored a couple of times? Yeah? They weren't good. They didn't play well to bad. I thought they were going to give it to Derrick Henry forty times against that awful defense and just run it right down their throat. And particularly in the weather. The weather was dead. But you know how it goes. You go into a game and your idea of that next thing. You know, the other team is scoring and you've got problems.
But Joe Burrows good, really good. Yeah, I said that week one, no one listened to me, and they had and they had. What do you mean nobody listened to you trying to say he's the first overall pick. Of course he's gonna be good. I was wondering how long would take you to respond? I mean, I said, I said on the draft might that he would win one, not too maybe two super Bowls in the next ten years. How about that? Yeah, he's good, he's good. Uma. I
was surprised by that. I thought they just running right down to the throat. But they have issues on defense, there's no doubt about think about it, Tony. As bad as the Bengals line has been, they played without their center and their left tackle and the right tackle yesterday. All three of them were out. And the Titan just tripated today for Desmond King from the Chargers because they're terrible. Change my power ring. Yeah, and you've been on them all year. You you've been on him as the number
one team. I stuck to mind. I thought the Colts were the better team, and no last week you said the we're number one, we can go, we're the taping in. But I always thought that they had to be in the number one spocket. They had the better recorden I always done the Titans, the culture, the better time. That's
not how it works. It's not who is the better record, it's who you think is the better team standings culture number one, um Titans the number two, and then i'nn have a tie for third between the Texans and the Jags. The winner. It's the winner take all. So I'm gonna have old number one Tightens number two, the Texans number three, and the Jaguars number four, and the loser takes all. Well, you know the Dolphins are rooting for the Jags because
they have Houston's first round pick. Think about that disaster is that you? I mean, Okay, there's a lot of bad in Jacksonville right now out, but they do have draft pick capital and they have money to spend. The Texans have Deshaun Watson, so they have their quarterback. But everything else is a disaster. No coach, no GM, no no drafts, no draft picks, and no money to spend. Bad situation the Watson in that situation or no quarterback? And what the Jaguars have? What pick do we have
within there? Now? As as four? Is that you said? For Yeah, it's number four? How good is Trey Lands? For Zach Wilson? You are a little bit early on Zach Wilsonbody, No, I'm not. I'm telling you he's one of those guys that's going up, up, up up, Like I don't heard him on anyone's anyone's Yes, he is, he's starting to be. He is. Besides Priscoe who also said, what was your famous one that Miami quarterback? He said it is gonna be a back in the day, Walsh not. Oh,
you were big on Ponder, you said, Christian Ponder? I did I thought Ponder would be good. I can admit it when I make mistakes. Yeah, there's a lot of them. We can find them up. Like you wanted to look at quarterback mistakes, all you gotta go do is look at the draft history that we're talking about. And we talked about that a few weeks ago. Pete that you go back in grade draft classes after you grade them
on draft night or the day after the draft. Three years later you go grade, you're grade again like that. I like that. Now, as promised last week, we're gonna start this segment about draft order. I hate it, but as it stands today, the Jets would pick first eight. The Giants play tonight there one in six, the Jaguars one in six would pick third. Houston's pick would go to Miami. But they were the last thing I saw JP with the strength of schedule, that we were ahead
of the Giants. No, not according to what's in front of me right now. So uh, and then Dallas would be fifth, Atlanta sixth. Currently that's the top six as it stands right now. Okay, the question becomes with the Giants drafted quarterback the Jets would take. Yeah, Jets are taking tremor Lawrence. I don't think they do. I think they stick with Daniel Jones another year. You do. So, then if that were the case, then Justin Fields would be there at number three in that scenario. I mean,
I mean, but someone could try. But but here's the problems. You're the Jacks. I can jump up somebody. Somebody will. If somebody who wants Justin Fields will go up to the Giants and trade with him, well they can you do? Yeah? What make sure you got them? You got extra picks, they got draft pick capital. Let's think about some of these other teams that would need a quarterback down the line here right, Washington, Yes, yes, I mean Atlanta, Matt Ryan. How much you got left? Uh? They bring it? You
know what? The Atlanta situation depends on who they bring in. If they bring in a veteran coach thinks that they can in. Now they go defense because they got I mean, they gotta above their offensive lines. Okay, they got a ton of weapons. They got, Matt Ryan, they have calf issues. Can you get your defense healthy for one year and go spend your draft capital on defense and make it right for the next three years. I mean, that's the decision. And that will be determined who the GM and the
coaches there. He can still play, yeah, he can, absolutely can't. And so you know that's a GM coach decision. You know, you hired. And what does Arthur Blank want to do if he hires a gym who convinces him, Hey, let's start this scrap it, let's clean up the cap, let's you know, you know, draft are you know, start building for the future. Well, then you do. I wouldn't do it because, like, finding quarterbacks are hard, and Matt Ryan
can still play. And by the way, they're gonna win a couple more games this year, so they're gonna be drafting a little lower than that. Anyways, right I'm going by the order as of what would be today right now, So Atlanta, those teams right there, Dallas is gonna take a quarterback. It depends what they do with that. I was going to tack the franchise them. But you'll know how Dax's ankle is by that point too. I mean, there's a lot of un knows there. Yeah, they're not
gonna take the quarterbacks. But so the question becomes through the Giants. In that scenario, do the Giants take a quarterback? What have you seen? I don't either, for whatever reason. How don't we evaluated Angel Jones based on what's around them? The offensive line is putrid. The guy that I thought was gonna be the best left pack all that group has turned out to be the worst so far. Andrew Thomas has been terrible. He's just spinning top and left tackle.
The rest of the lines are very good either. Then his receivers are always hurt. Is Evin Ingram any good? I mean? And he's one of the great teases in the league. And then the running back hasn't been there. How can you evaluate Daniel Jones and what's around him right now? You can't? Well can you? I can say the same thing about Sam Donald, But there's a difference. The Jets will be getting Trevor Lawrence where the second team will be getting Justin Field. So you think it's
that big a drop off between fields? And I gotta do more work on The more I watch fields, the more I like them. He's really athletic, oh unreal, and he has a good arm, I mean. The hard part to evaluating Justin Fields no one's ever near him. Well. The other thing about Justin Fields is the book on him is he locks on a little bit? Did you watch Saturday night? I was driving? Did you watch it Saturday night against Penn State? Yeah? I want I watched it. He can do it, Yeah, yeah, you can throw. It's
like seven on seven watching him back there. Yeah, and he's got good receivers that a lot of as a good receiver. So yeah, it's hard to evaluate him. So there you haven't. He looks the part, there's no doubt about that. And and the way the game is played today with your quarterback needing to move around a little bit, he could do it? What being what? What kind of Like here's what I don't know about either Lawrence for fields?
Like are they leaders? Good kids? I mean supposed really good, both of them both love love football, Like, yeah, that's what you want. You gotta have your quarterback. If you're gonna draft a guy that high, he has to be competitive and loved ball and just wants to be the bets. Well, don't you remember that was kind of the book on Herbert and Oregon was that he wasn't that guy, which was not true. It turned off to be not true because guys I know went in there and they said
he was the alpha guy. You want an alpha, the guy has to be an alpha. He's gotta love it, live it, and be an alpha. Yeah. And if he is, then and he's good, then he's gonna be good. All right, let's come back. We'll go around the National Football League recap the games from yesterday. In Week eight, the Jags were not among those. They were off Week nine. Coming up this week the Jags and the Texans and it's

And by the way, the cocktail parties the day before this year, back to back games in the stadium first time. I think that's how many fans could
be at the cocktail party. I think it's about the same. Yep. So there's not gonna be any games this year where there's half capacity in any stadium this year at all. What the Cowboys? What the Cowboys trying to do that they were I don't think they did. Yeah, So even if they said half capacity, it would be a quarters. And there's still and they're still in contention that it's amazing. Let's go around the National Football League and some of
the scores from yesterday. The Steelers are undefeated still seven and oh after the over the now I have and two Ravens and a really good football game yesterday, Pete. Best team in the league, most complete team in the league. Can throw, it can run, it can play good defense. Uh, the Ravens, I've surprised me because the Ravens ran all over them. I didn't think they would, but they can't. The Ravens don't pass it well enough. Two bad turnovers,
two bad picks. Want to pick six and one with the game seventeen seven, you have the ball ready to go make seven. He turned it over on a terrible interception and then they went in point black made it seventeen four teams. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, that defense got exposed with but they got ran all over. But you know how that you know how that is when you play that that scheme sometimes it's different than
just lining up and running on them. That's fine, but I'm just I mean, listen, I think the Steelers are the best team in the NC but they're not the best team in the NFL. Who's the best team in the NFL? That team playing tonight in the Bucks? Baby, you might be right. That's if I had to pick a Super Bowl right now, it's Steelers Buck, Steelers Bucks. That would be interesting in you're just discounting the Chiefs. Come on, you go. You know that guy could get
hot as I could be. Don't do that, Okay. If the game is in Pittsburgh, the NFC championship game, I guess there's no fans. Doesn't matter. It might be cold. It might be cold. It might be cold, and the guy plays in the gold, so it's not it doesn't matter. You could kas too. That's that's way. You were there with me last year in the championship game? Is gonna be any colder than that one? And here and here's the here's the We can discuss this later because I
know I'm gonna screw up everything JP's trying to do. Pete, do they go into a bubble for the playoffs where they play it? Uh? Pick a couple of sites and keeping teams there to make sure there because you can't, like, if you get the point offs, you can't cancel games because of COVID, but you got to make sure everyone's walked down. Yeah, I don't know. They think, no, consider it depending on how bad it is. Talk the Bills over the Patriots. One. The Bills now are six and
two feet your guy, Josh Allen. Yeah, but that's not the story. The story is the Patriots are bad. That's a bad team. Yeah, but the Bills have been playing that close. I actually lost a little bit of respect. I mean as far as when I put them in the list of good teeth for the Bills to play that team that close, and if Cam Newton doesn't fumble, it might have been a different game. The other thing is the Bills can't stop the run all of us.
I mean, they've had problems all year, but it's getting worse. They gotta be able to stop them run. The Raiders over the Brown six team to six ten points in the fourth quarter from Las Vegas. Don't worry, it'll be better without Odell Beckham. Baker may feel plays better without Odell Beckham. Remember all that talk last week. No you don't, no, you don't. You want stars on the field, You don't
play better without them. The Browns are teeth. Just when you think you're ready to say okay, here come to brown playoff team. You're loosing the Raiders at home. That should never happen, and the Raiders have been terrible on defense. They could points to Browns. Yeah, I agree, right, I mean, not much to add there. I mean, I said, anyone who says you're better without really good players, right, don't know that. You don't know the game, right. The Vikings
knocked off the Packers two. What is this? The Green Bay couldn't stop the run, the same thing that happened in the championship game last year to the forty Niners. Dalvin Cook ran for a hundred seventy yards d seventy. They couldn't tackle him. It was unbelievable. And that's not a very good offensive line. That's a little offensive line. That's surprising to me at least when they got beat by the forty Niners, the big, good physical offensive line
with that great scheme. I mean, the Vikings just dominated them. Dalvin Cook four touches the same scheme though now with Prubiac running a similar very similar do they now? They play the Niners this week in uh in San Francisco. Through the Packers Thursday night. Yeah, but the problem is me, who are the Niners gonna roll out there? No Jimmy Garofolo, No George Kittle. Then the ball on the backers in that game, everybody will just swin. Rest of the season.
Think about the guys, the Niners. A long Bosa. He boards out, Solomon Thomas, Richard Sherman hasn't played uh Kittle. Most dirt now Garofolo, he boast said, Wow, the achieves over the Jets and an easy one thirty five to nine. This was we saw this one coming. Well, you blitz, you blitz him the way they blitz. Come on. Great. Williams likes the blitz. He likes to attack and pack the homes kills it, just like he did against Baltimore. He will kill the blitz. Yeah. Do we really need
to talk about this game? Remember the Levan Bell revenge game and he had like three carry's great yards or something. To his debut in Miami, he was twelve twenty two for ninety three yards passing, had a touchdown. He also had a sack fumble on his opening past attempt and what would have been his opening pass attempt in the NFL he was just average as they come, didn't have to do anything. Was that the Rams on a short week and a long trip? I mean, was that what
that was? Or was that Cryan Flores who used the same defense that he used in the Super Bowl when he was a defensive coordinator for the for the Patriots, where he played that sixth man front, Tony, remember the sixth man front, and then they go empty. Whenever they go empty, they blitzed it. It's exactly what they did. They course, golf was terrible. He turned the ball over four times in the first half. Yeah. I didn't see one snap of that game. I was playing golf. Yeah,
I came in. I saw the score, like man, two of them us had a big day, had a hundred five yards of total offerings in one. They got out game by the three yards in the game watching it, because you know you like the eye test, you watch two. What's your first takeaway from the first game? Couldn't couldn't, couldn't tell. You can't tell from that game. You couldn't tell. He didn't nothing to do anything. He had to do nothing. Okay, when you drop back, he dropped back twenty two times.
What do you look like when you dropped back, he was okay, fall out quick before I'm standing there waiting for throws and developed. But again, when you're up that big and getting the game, just tell them they'll turn it over. I mean, they had a they had a sack fumble for touchdown, they had a party turn for a touchdown, and then they had a one yard touchdown run that was set up on a fumble return return to the one yard line. I mean, you can't can't
screw that up. True, So the Dolphins win. The Broncos got a fourth down pass interference and then scored on the final play of the game the extra point wanted thirty one to thirty over the Chargers. The Charges will find new and creative ways to lose games and lose lead. It's amazing. It's amazing how they always find a way to lose. They had no business losing that game. None have been giving up leeds this year seventeen twice, sixteen, once and twenty one point now four times. Is Anthony
Lynn in trouble? Yes, yes, I would agree. Saints over the Bears three. There was a big fight on the field. Javan Williams getting two games without pay today after the not really a fight. It was a one way punching fest. Well he said that Jaunty Garden Johnson spit in his face and pulled his his mouthpiece out. And you can see how to play before where Chaunty Gardener Johnson goes over and pulls his mouthpiece out. He rips it out. So whether he spit on him, who knows, but he
waited a play. Remember, Chauncey Gardner Johnson is the same guy that got in the practice fight with Michael Thomas when he got distended. So make sally. He's a good instigator maybe you know, but if you're wins, you gotta be smarter than that. That's just do it during the play. Take a cheap shot so you get just fifteen yards, like do it at the bottom of the pile. Take a shot here or there. But you can't, I mean you just can't. Walk up to the guy and started
throwing bolos on him. And it wasn't like he just like pushed his head out. He was like he was doing like round bomber, boom boom. It was bad. Yes, it was yeah, that was yeah. There's nothing worse when you're a scrub and you do something like that though, you know what I'm talking about. Come on, who are you? I mean, it was it was interesting, that's for sure. Seahawks over the forty nine thirty seven seven. The Eagles over the Cowboys last night three to nine. I fell asleep.
I went to bed like I'm not watching them. Oh my god. And Wentz was awful too, But every time they tried to throw past the wind with Day it was terrible all over the league. Yesterday in the Northeast, the wind was terrible. It was awful. Football in Green Bay Cleveland had like sleet at one point. Uh yeah, it was pretty grosses. I hate that. I hate that time for Monday night football. The five and two Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, led by the goat quarterback Tom Brady. They're facing a team that beat Brady and two Super Bowls. This is far from the same New York football giants there one in six, but trying to battle through somehow. Who you got tonight at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, I mean j JP. First of all, I need more energy. That was a week there was no energy. There was that energy Like I didn't like it, Like that was awful. Um, I know you're not excited about this because the Giants
are terrible in thes are gonna kill him. But still I need more energy out of you. That was embarrassing. Frankly, he gave you the Doug Moron today. Energy. It's contagious. Are you in the building? JP? The five? Yes? I am the five? And to Tampa Bay Buccaneers US, it's in the system led by the goat quarterback Tom Brady facing the New York Football Giants. So this is what it sounded like, very monitory. Usually, JP, you bring it down from the y Who do you have tonight on
Monday night football? I mean, yeah, pull it out? DJ? Would you please tell us what's the matter. You're not feeling good? I feel great good. I thought I brought it. That's okay, obviously not. I'll get it next week. Work on that for the week. We're not sure. We're not sure. You're gonna let you. We're gonna let you do it next week, Pep, I might take over, thank you. Yeah, y'all take turns doing this. How about that? I like that idea? No, I like the buck. Come on, that's
an easy ahead. This Sunday night, though they played this fake Sunday Night did get ahead a little bit. Tom Brady doesn't think ahead. All right, boys, people talk to you, Tony, We'll talk to you, Okay, see you later, all right, Pete Brisco, Tony Vasilli, JJ Jaguars Happy Hour, the Jaguars Digital Network. There you go.
