Jaguars Happy Hour: Thursday, December 12

I am thirty eight years old, but one, yes, nice thirty eight. I know you had a little gathering last night and unfortunately I was unable to make it. But how did things gost? Birthday? It was very nice? Okay, you look like you're sweat a little bit today. Well it's hot stuff at lunch too. Yeah, but I don't think that was the reason why that you were sweating on your forehead at lunch. And I think that there was maybe a little bit, uh, a little bit too

much celebration. No, no, no, no, it's a serious business today. Can't get crazy and a work tonight? You know that one on? I'm on? Who said I said, Oh, we've got things to do that you're getting crazy tonight. No, you gotta work tomorrow. You don't work tomorrow. You got Yeah, you got a lot going on. Anyways, thank you for the Wischars. I appreciate that. Welcome in. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. My name's j P. Shatrick. His name's Jeff Loghman. That was Joe fortune Otto a moment ago. Here's what

we're getting to today. A Jaguars Raiders preview, the final game ever at the Oakland, Alameda County Coliseum. It should be quite a scene this Sunday. The Jaguars defense continues to look for answers. The Jaguars offense continues to look for points. We'll discuss that coming up in an AFC South preview. And even though the division is certainly out of reach in the playoffs are out of reach for the Jaguars, will look at the other games. There is a huge game in the division coming up this week.

That's all coming up. What is that one? Um? The two teams at the top, the Texans and the Titans. Where's it that it's in Nashville this time? And then two weeks later they play in Houston, so they're playing twice in the next three weeks. Good ball, right there. Good ball. That's unlike unlike the matchup in Oakland that has the teams that have lost to combine eight in a row and haven't been close in any of those. None, none of the above. The Raiders have lost their last

three games. They lost last week to the Titans by one. The week before that they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs by thirty one, and then, uh, the week before that, they lost to the Jets by thirty one. So two weeks in a row of losing by thirty one and

then by one sounds familiar. So they're staying consistent for not so good and Raider Nation and the Oakland Raiders decided that because they suck on defense, they decided to cut three guys for no apparent reason other than they need to get better and cutting guys might make them feel better about it. So Raiders have had a little personnel changes this week. They're actually still a lot They have to have a lot of help obviously and make a run of the last three games. And I mean

they're second in the n f C West. I mean, but they don't have a chance to making the playoffs, and that's not realistic for them the way they're playing right now. No. No, that's like last week saying that the Jaguars still had a chance of making the playoffs. They did mathematically, come on, and then they didn't because they were eliminated officially. Me and Moose were talking about that last week. Me and Moose were He was like, there's still a chance. Moose. Uh, he's famous. He is

at every Jaguars All Access show every Thursday. He is one of Clay's Campbell's biggest fan. That's right. And all you need to know is that his name is Moose. I just want to make sure everbody knew who Moose. Yeah, he was, and he like, he is a he is a die hard Jaguars fan and uh, and he was correct last week. And I said the Jaguars don't have a chance of making the playoffs and he says, oh, but Jeff, they do, Yes, sir. I got the finger up in there, like the final game at the black

Hole Oakland, Alameda County Coliseum. You know, if you grow up watching football and the NFL films, things that replayed a lot when I was growing up in the eighties, and you see a lot of the Raiders things, and the Sea of Hands game and the the Hidie game and all this stuff. Nobody really saw the Hidie game because it wasn't on TV. They had to show it the next day. You know what I think of Championship the Oakland Raiders. Yes, there's a song that just kind

of plays in my mind. This is the one. The Autumn win is a rado just for fun. He'll knock you around and whip side down and laugh when he's conquered.

And it's funny because they played this stuff on the stadium big screen and the and the sound system in warmups and everybody, you're walking out of the same tunnel that John Madden came out of, came out of and Kenny Stabler and all these great players over the years, when they moved to a Llegion stadium in Las Vegas, they'll play the same thing, and uh and and it will still that will be a forever thing with the

franchise of the Raiders. But there's still a little something about walking out of that tunnel in that stadium, though. I mean, this place is and there's six had all the moments a JP I played in a lot of stadiums, and there are some stadiums that definitely had the Miss Deek, the the ambiance, the tradition, the character. Oakland is not one of them. You didn't like it like that. The stadium itself is not. Now. The fans they make that

place unique. But here's the deal. The fans are gonna be in Vegas and are gonna make that place unique as well. The black Hole is the black Hole for a reason because it's the fans that that the fannies are in the seats and they make it is what it is. And by the way, this week, I think the black Hole prime seats are selling for about six grand of pop for the first two or three rows. But I never had this crazy cool feeling when I played in Oakland. RFK, that was pretty cool because I mean,

that's the team that I grew up watching. Um, the Meadowlands was pretty cool for the first time. When I walked out and there's Lawrence Taylor standing in the tunnel of a preseason game, that was pretty cool. Old Soldier Field, Soldier Field was cool. Um the what was the old Cowboys stadium? Lan? What was it called? Was that Texas? Yeah,

Texas Stadium. That was cool. You walk out there and you see the whole the roofs of God, you can watch the Cowboys play, all of the all of the dome stadiums were pretty cool because back when I was playing, they were considered like what was the Houston Astrodom was like the eighth Wonder of the World. I guess it

was called at the time. That was pretty neat. The old mistake by the late Cleveland was I was kind of known for being a terrible field and having the worst locker room in the league, to where you had to share locker with like three guys and it was like not like it was like a high school locker was not big. Saw a baseball game there. The Vet was known for being the Vet because of the field was terrible. They played basically on the parking lot concrete.

It was. It was terrible, and the fans were crazy. They were the most boisterous fan base, pulling on alarms in your team hotel the night for a game. But the black Hole at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum is unique, but but really JP And again to go back to this, the stadium itself is not is not anything special, but it's the fan base that's there that makes it what it is because it's like a Halloween shows that. I mean, where else do you go where Halloween is ten games

a year, you know. So, and when they moved to the new stadium in Vegas, it's actually not Vegas. They pretty neat. It's a Paradise Nevada. It's called which is Vegas, but it's they're saying paradise. It's gonna be awesome as well. And of all the teams, because you remember going back to when there was kind of the the fight for l A. You had the Rams that we're leaving St. Louis and they're going to l A. And then the

Chargers are looking for a home. The Raiders are looking for a home, and everybody's trying to position themselves to get this l A market, And Jerry Jones is involved. He's pushing for Cronky's plan. And it was literally it was a political football that was being tossed around amongst owners in the National Football League. The Raiders were considered the losers because they were out l A and because I also had previous exposure to l A. Uh, they wanted to be in that market. They have turned out

to be the winners in this. They have a stadium that's going up the cost of a little less than two billion. They're selling more PSL's than the Chargers are, and there's probably he's selling just as many PSL's as the Rams are. The stadiums a third of the budget of what the stadium is going to be in l A. And obviously there's more to it than just a stadium in l A l L l A. But uh, yeah, this is uh I think this is gonna work out pretty good for the Raiders then, but this week, this

is gonna be an absolute freak show. To get in the gate. What was the minimum you looked it up on the get in price right now is about a hundred and seventy bucks for like an upper deck last Road hundred seventy to get upper deck, and then six grand for prime black hole minimum six gran. It's gonna

be fun. Oh yeah, there's no doubt. It's. When I saw this, when I saw it, when I saw on the schedule, I was like, this is gonna be an absolute ball to see and uh and and I was, and I'm serious, I was, I was fired up, But I was also concerned. Are they gonna Are they gonna tear the place up? Are they gonna? Are they gonna burn it? Um? Are they gonna? They? Are? They are? There? Is there gonna be enough security there? Um? Do you wear the opposing team's logo apparel while you're working there?

I mean, it's one of those things where you just kind of go in your mind, Okay, what's it gonna be like? But I am excited to see what it's gonna be like. We'll always get to say, you were part of the last game at at Oakland, and I got I got some stories for you from Oakland at some point today. We'll get to those here a little bit. This is, though, two struggling football teams. Obviously we mentioned that often there's fame. Yes, there's that too. The Raiders

have dropped three straight. They've been blown out. The Jags have dropped five in a row. What's left for this Jaguars team? How disappointing has this been for this Jags team? How frustrating is it? Josh Allen or rookie, he's new to the league, but he's still a competitor. To have you a competitor, you know you should be frustrated, you know, not only as you know as the team, but for yourself.

You know what I mean, I'm frustrated that I wish I could have done more, becush, I could have done different things different So you know, it's you know, it hurts all the way around. But that's just everybody in this you know, in this room. No, I feel like I believe that nobody is happy, you know what I mean, you know of our record, because everybody's a competitor and uh and I know I'm not. But I'm gonna continue to be great and continue to make my team better

and push my team. It's really all it's left for this Jack's team right now. Do the best you can. It's a resume game, as every Jones said a couple of weeks ago, that's how it's gonna be the rest of the way. Give your best effort, put it out there on tape, and then with the chips full where they may in the off season. You're not playing for for playoffs or anything else. But here's the reality. As a player, you're always playing for contract, You're always playing

for the name on your back. So there's plenty to play for. And I think there's there's some players in the league that are in this position that don't quite understand that. And uh. And then that also applies to the Jaguars. Certain players on this roster don't quite understand that.

And uh. But there is a lot to play for if you want to if you want to earn money in this league, and you want to have a career, respectable career, you play hard games like this because it means something a lot of coaches and a lot of the value of symptoms. More so, when things go bad, then things as opposed to when things are going well. And uh, and it's sometimes it's hard. I mean, look, unfortunately, I've been a part of teams that were in the position like this. Uh, plenty of them in New York

when I was up there. And yeah, I was in that position here in when we were first year franchise and trying to establish some type of pattern or some type of culture in and we weren't very good. But I can tell you one thing in nine we played hard. We played hard. That was gonna that was always gonna be our calling card. You guys weren games too. We were in games all the way. And here's the reality.

We didn't have any talent. We didn't have. We didn't have nearly as much talent is what what this team has here, and and we were competitive and we played hard, and I think that's the one thing that this team has to find a way to do because the reality is is that when when you're not competitive and you don't have a calling card at this point in the season, then it's a direct reflection on a lot of people's jobs. And that's the reality of the National Football League because

when it reflects poorly, then things change. Let's come back. Well, that's a fact. It is. That's how proven fact. It is a business. It is a results based business, and the results aren't there for this Jaguars team and the Raiders as a team this week. Do you ever do Would you want to be a part of the Raiders team that lost the last game in Oakland? There's no way. Do you want to be a part of a Raiders team that lost to a Jaguars team that lost has lost five in a row by an average of twenty

three and a half point. Probably not, No, No, back in a moment. Jaguars defensive talk, We'll figure it out when we come back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network.

On Sunday, Todd Wash, defensive coordinator, discussing his linebacking Corps. Jaguars Happy Hour continues, JP Shadrick, Jeff Logaman. Coming up at five

o'clock the Doug Morone Show. We'll hear from the Jaguars head coach before we get to defense. Couple of notable items this afternoon involving the Jaguars. Scott Milanovitch, quarterbacks coach for the Jags, has been hired as the head coach of the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League and he will coach the remainder of the season with the Jaguars before reporting to Edmonton. So congratulations, he's been there before. He was in Toronto. He was in the CFL, so

you want a great cup there. Kudos to him. Yeah, he's been very successful up in Canada. And uh, I don't want to say this, but you know the reality is this, when when you are where you are, which is what the where the Jaguars are, as a coach, you have to start looking what's next, what's best for my family, what's best for me? And uh and Scott Milanovitch has returning to no place that he has been very comfortable at, that he's been very successful at, and

good for him. He's gonna coach out the rest of the season. Ago, that's the that's the key thing. He's not just gonna leaves three weeks. I mean, it's not like he has a lot to do up there and the seas over and yeah, they're they're in their dead period right now. That's also just moments ago. The Jack's promoted c J board wide receiver to the active roster from the practice squad in wave rookie corner Tay Hayes. So it makes you feel And we'll get to the

offense a little bit later. With DJ charts kind of a question mark this week, bringing an extra receiver up, it might be a little bit of a sign of what they're thinking there. But yeah, I mean, like I don't know for sure if if DJ Chark is going to be down or not, but if I had to guess with that roster move, I would say, yes, c

c J Board has has great speed. And I remember Gardner Minshew talking about him all the way back when Minshew got this the starting job because of Nick Foles's injury, and he was asked about some of the receivers in the room and he quickly responded when somebody asked him about c J Board and he said, look, he can

take the top off of any defense. And in fact, Chris Connley when we had him on Jaguars All Access and it was the episode that we were out at Mayport and we were doing our TV show on board one of the Navy ships, Chris was asked about who is the fastest guy on the Jaguars roster, and without hesitation, he said c J Board. So look, let's let's see him run. Let's see him run a go route and see the ball up in the air, and let's see

something aggressive. This was something would be nice something down the field this week we'll continue on our offensive talk here a little bit. Just her from top Wash there on the linebacker corps, and it's like terms that he used because he was kind of talking about finding out what what they're comfortable with, what they know, they don't want to they want in the world that m and putting too much in their plate. And essentially what that

means is that you're simplifying a defense. Here's your lineback your corps right now, Dakota Allen added this week. Yeah, and I don't know how much he's not gonna play much this week from Texas Tech. He was just taking off of the Raiders practice squads. That's right. And linebacker six years man, Preston Brown, he was claimed off of waivers from the Raiders. Excuse me, let me go back, because the other linebacker was claimed off the Rams practice

squad was it was Rams are the Raiders the Raiders? Okay, he was drafted by the Rams on the Raiders practice squad. The jaz Worse take him. Preston Brown, who Doug Moron drafted when he was in Buffalo, was waived by the Raiders this week as part of their roster purge, and he was claimed by the Jack Austin Colletro linebacker, Joe Giles Harris rookie from Duke Leon Jacobs is your strong side linebacker, and Donald Payne is the middle linebacker. That's

the linebacker corps right now. It's much different from the start of the season. So if you look at where they came from, that we're talking about the guys that are on the active roster now. Calletro was an undrafted player. Preston Brown, what was he what round pick was he in in Buffalo? See if you can find that Donald Payne, free agent, underraft, free agent, Joe Giles Harris, undrafted rookie,

Leon Jacob's seventh round pick. Dakota Allen was a seventh round pick of the Rams and played in two games with the Raiders this year and was on the Raiders practice squad. So you have to seven rounders. Undrafted Guyston Brown was the third third round pick. I mean, that's that's kind of crazy right there. Here. Here's a crazy thing.

If if the Jaguars have a certain defense on the field, and this depends on let's say Ronnie Harrison out there, and they're having like, let's say a three safety package, so winger is on the field. Well, win Gerd and Wilson are undrafted rookie free agents. Trey hern And and and A. J. Boy are both undrafted. That's four. Abrey Jones was an undrafted guy. That's five. Donald Payne was an undrafted guy. That's six, and then Austin Calitro was an undrafted guy.

You could have seven undrafted guys on the field at the same time in Oakland this week, so it was last week. I think you had a couple of plays last week where you had seven on the field. Another plenty of plays with six undrafted guy on the field at the same time. But wow, I've never seen that. As Dug Moron said, I believe it was this week. By have been late last week. There's not help coming.

It's not like they're gonna go you know, this is this is the team right now the rest of the way, and you gotta figure out a way to get these guys going and get him to play better. The linebacker played last week, going back to what Todd Walsh talked about about trying to call them that world down, the linebacking play last week was not great, um, to be honest with you, I mean Donald Payne and Quincy Williams

didn't have very good games. Even though Donald Payne racked up a bunch of tackles, I want to say he had sixteen so over the two week two week period, he had I think twenty nine tackles over two week period. But last week that a lot of the tackles were down to the field. And so with the linebacker play not being very good, the Raiders having really good players

in the interior of their offensive line. By the way, Richie Incognito, even though he didn't play football last year, is having one of the better seasons of any guard in the National Football League. The Senate Rodney Hudson is a really good football player. He's made the Pro Bowl a couple of times. He's a team captain for the Raiders. Gabe Jackson is a really good guard for the Raiders. So the interior of the Raiders are really good players

and linebacking corps that struggled last week. And then you add so you've got Leon Jacobs expected to possibly play this week, who's a first round pick running back for the Raiders, who is, oh, by the way, the sixth rusher in the National Football League. And they have arguably one of the best tight ends in football in Darren Waller. He's good. I mean he is really good, and a lot of people like who this is guy? This guy's got an incredible story Darren Waller, which we'll get to

later on. But his numbers. He has seventy two receptions in the National Football League this year, seventy two. There's only two tight ends that have more Kelsey Travis Kelsey Kent City Chiefs and then Zach Ertz of the Philadelphia Eagles. And he got his sketches on Monday night. Prior to Monday Night, Darren Waller was second amongst tight ends and receptions. But Waller I think is still second in yards by any tight end in the National Football League, which is tremendous.

Is this guy was a six round draft pick of the Ravens back in fifteen, and he admitted that he was basically high every day cocaine opiates xanax oxy. Cotton said he'd been doing it since he was like fifteen years old and hadn't been sober well. The league ends up suspending him for four games in sixteen and then which was the year after that he was drafted in seventeen,

they suspended him for a season. The following year, a day after he had his twenty fifth birthday, which is birthday was September fourteen, twenty seventeen, he checked himself into a detox place for four days and then on to a thirty day stay at place called Boarding College in Maine, and he said he was sober for the first time since he was fifteen years old. It's this is he's got so and so all of that goes on in

this young man's life. And so through all that say so, he ends up back on the Ravens practice squad last year and eighteen the Raiders in the first year of Mike Mayock and John Gruden, they steal him off the practice squad of the Ravens. Everybody knows the Ravens are flush with tight ends, right drafted A couple of them, got a bunch of them. I mean, they're they're set, So they steal him. He plays for the Raiders. So in his first three seasons he had eighteen receptions. Of

his first three years of his career, eighteen receptions. And now in year four seventy two, that's unbelievable. Now, and I'm telling you right now, this is a tough matchup for a Jaguars football team. That is that is rolling out some different linebackers again this week. This is this is an incredibly tough matchup. And Derek Carr loves to throw to the tight end, loves the high completion stuff, which means a lot of that stuff in that linebacker area. Linebackers,

they're gonna be stressed, trap in and hang on. We'll come back in a moment. Jaguars offense. We'll hear from the quarterback gardnerment Yew.

for the update here. Thank you. Jags and the Raiders coming up this Sunday at Oakland, Alameda County Colisium, the final game for the Raiders in Oakland. They returned there ninety five from Los Angeles. They are moving to Las Vegas next year and this will be the final game at the black Hole. Coming up at Dailies Place to schedule winding down for the nineteen season meet and Greece

with Danny and Sandy is coming up. That's the December fifteenth, that's right around the corner here with John Travolta and Olivia Newton. John and others have been added to the list January first, New Year's Day. It's all Elite wrestling Dynamite. Two shows have been announced for Kane Brown in the spring, March and May sixteen, and tickets are available at Daily's Place dot com. So there you have it. Schedule coming up. Um. The Jaguars offense, it's it's had their own struggles. We've

talked about the defense, certainly Gardner Minshew. We'll get to start the rest of the way. It's been a rough stretch for this JAG's offense, but they're hoping to rally down the stretch. At East Carolina, we had a couple of tough years and three and nine twice and that's you know, that's never fun. Um, but you know what you have to enjoy the guys that you're doing it with. And um, you know, I don't think you need a

prize or playoffs to compete. I think, you know, that's just the pure joy of beating the guy across from you. You should be enough, you know. So I think we've got guys like that in our in our room, and you know, I'm excited to go compete with them. All right, So three more chances for Gardner Minshew to to make a case and show what he can do as a rookie quarterback here in the NFL. Well, he didn't have

a particularly good outing last week. Um, the yards per temp I think was the number that really stood out, and it wasn't very good. It was four point three yards per attempt last week and a lot of people say, well, what does that mean. Well, it's this yards total divided by the number of attempts, and that's usually one of a very good indicator of a quarterback success or lack of And uh, because people a lot of people say, well seven, that's a good number. Yeah, but you only

threw sixty two yards. You're dinking and duncan. So he's got a lot to show yet, eventially, the offense has been the same with him or and Nick Foles in the lineup, and the point production hasn't been there. The Minshew magic hasn't been there as we saw that that they had at times prior when he was the starter. But I mean that's doing part to a lot of different factors, and it's a lot of the components of the offense are not performing the way they need to.

The running game hasn't been as good. I don't think the focus has been as good on the running game. And some of that is due well if some of that is due to play calling where you haven't been and been behind in the first half of games, but then also some of it is because of the circumstances of the game, and the offensive line hasn't been as good, the receiving corps hasn't been as good. I mean, so it's not like you can put your finger on one

thing and say that's the problem. Well, that's not typically how it works. It's usually a combination of things, and that's the way it is with this Jaguars offense. That's just the reality. So there's no there's no magic. Okay, let me take my car to the to the mechanics shop and he changes the spark plug and up we're back to running smooth again. Everything's fine, that's not how it is. There are questions about DJ sharks availability this week. He has not practiced yet this week. He said he'd

love to play. He wants to play, just talk to him in the locker room today. But he knows he wants to get the thousand yard mark. I think it's really what he wants. But he also doesn't want to push it and hurt himself too badly either. Right now.

He got rolled up on, He got rolled up on pretty good last week where the guy tackled him from high and comes swung around and then swung onto his back, onto his legs, which is uh, how a lot of ball carriers or skill position players end up getting ankles because defenders kind of drape across their back, not necessarily horse collar tackles, but they grab him and then swing around and then kind of their their legs body swings around to the ankles, and that's what happened. And and

he had a good game last week. DJ I thought was pretty good once again. You know, he had nine catches seventy five yards. I wish there was some more of them that were down the field. I kind of wish that there was more passing game down the field against a Chargers team that was is known for being man and three deep coverage. I mean, I would kind of say, hey, let's maybe try some opportunities, maybe a

little bit more aggressive that. I was kind of surprised because after the game they were talking about how they wanted to shorten the game, control the clock and in the tempo of the game, and that's that's not really a kind of what I was expecting out of the Jaguars offense. You're kind of in that situation where you're and you're not you're not gonna lose anything but a game. You got nothing to lose, let it hang out, be aggressive, and they didn't seem to be very aggressive on offense.

But hopefully g J's ankle is okay. He's having a tremendous year, and I'm sure that the the allure of getting to a thousand yards is incredibly powerful, but you also have to be smart. The last time the Jaguars had a thousand yard rusher and a thousand yard receiver was two thousand four. That's been a while Fred and Jimmy right, that's right. It's a long time. Not good, that's what that's what you put in the category of no Blinho. Thanks thanks bilingual edition of Jars. That's not good.

That's not good. That I ought to tell you where the Jaguars offense has been since that? Not very good? Yeah, I mean they had a couple of few years ago they had a pair of thousand yard receivers, but you didn't have and you had Maurice Jones and the when you had it for a pair of thousand yard receivers, let me guess that was when Blake Bortles was being called captain garbage time, would that be correct? When he

had how many touchdowns did he throw that year? Thirty something touchdowns, which was up there with Brady and and uh and who else was up there that high that year? Somebody else? I've eminated it from my mind, right up there with Brady anyway through more touchdowns and Tom Brady that year, but the majority of them were almost all of them were in the second half of games, but they weren't even in And that's why you had two receivers over a thousand yards. Now, so you gotta you

kind of gotta gauge. You gotta gauge sometimes statistics and where they come from that year. You can take those stats from fifteen and I don't say throw them out the window, but you you temper them a little bit. At thirty five touchdowns that year, Brady had thirty six

to lead the league. Who's Who's Blow Blake? Um, Let's see, there were five four different guys with thirty five touchdown passes that year, Carson Palmer and Cam Newton, Eli and Blake and then Russell Wilson had thirty four touchdown passes and then Drew Brees thirty two, Stafford thirty two, Derek Carr thirty two. There you go, yeah, that's uh, that's not exactly a year that you go, oh yeah, they were Donalant, boy, they were really good that year. Let's

come back, Let's go around the AFC South. When we come back, look a f C playoff picture. It does not include the Jaguars unfortunately.

But I just hope you going there and get him a big fetass if. D J. Hayden, the Jaguars corner, former Raiders draft pick, a first rounder in fact, talking about what he would love to see in the final game at Oakland Alameda County Countless Sea and welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour J P.

Shadrick with Jeff Logaman. DJ was the twelfth overall pickback in and uh. He he has his story about some of of his health when he was drafted. What did he have he had like A basically I think he nearly died on the football down at Houston to college crazy stuff. So he's he's always had great respect for training staff and everybody since then since that crew down

in Houston helped him out. But he's been a good player this year too, I mean, and he's the last two years around here, he has been I think an upgrade from Aaron Colvin. Colvin was a good football player here in that role, but d J. Hayden. I think has been a step up there. I don't think there's any doubt that he's been a step up. I think he has also added he's first of all, he's a he's a very good tackler, and his coverage has been has been pretty good, I mean really out of times.

And uh, you might even argue that he's the best defensive back that you got playing right now, which you'd like to not have it be that way. I mean, don't you have a J boy under a pretty hefty contract and is he playing at that level? He had a good game against Hopkins this second time around when he was the guy and Jellen wasn't because Jellen was

gone and chipped off to the Rams. But I think overall A J's play has been it hasn't been to the level of what we saw in sen You know, go back to how many interceptions you have, like six that year? I wrote it down, Yeah, he had six. He had six interceptions. He had one last year and he's got one this year. So is is that is that kind of what you expected when you signed him as a free agent from from the Houston Texas What you got in seventeen that was like way over the

moves what you expected. What I mean, like way over what you expected. So um, but DJ has done a good job, good job. I like him. I mean, he's a he's still a relatively young player. I don't know what his contractual status is for the future. But he's a guy that you go, you look at the roster and and anybody that evaluates this roster would go, we want to keep him because it's good, good, tough player.

Totally played through some stuff this year and it was that next shoulder things or whatever that he's had and he's still been out there plan. I got a lot of respect for him, all right. Um. The Jaguars getting ready for game day with a powerful noise canceling technology of Bo's Quiet Comfort thirty five two headphones. Learn more at bows dot com. Slash Jaguars Bows the official headphones of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let's take a look at the

se South standings through week fourteen. Well, the Jaguars are at the bottom and they're out of contention in the division race. Houston and Tennessee at eight and five. Those two teams will play twice over the last three weeks of the season. Indie at six and seven and then Jacksonville at four nine. At the bottom, what time is

kickoff for the Houston Tennessee. Let's take a look at the a f C South schedule coming up in week fifteen, The Houston Tennessee game is at one o'clock at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, a battle of eight and five teams. He'll meet again in Houston week seventeen. Because the reason I asked as we were four o'clock kick being on the West coast. So that's a good thing. We will be able to watch hopefully some of that Texans Tennessee game.

If the TV's work in the stadium there yet, well, and then that's a big there's a lot of things of aluminum foil. There is the antenna in question marks from the nineteen sixties. Six I remember, and I think it was ninety six when we went out there to play the Raiders, and uh, when we go to the locker room after the game, and I was I was hurt in that game. So I had a foot that I left the game early on. Don Davy landed on my foot and fault. No it wasn't Don, It's just football.

But he landed on my foot and I got this what they call Liz Frank's brain, which I didn't know what it meant at the time anyway, So I was essentially done. So I got to locker room, take shower, put on street clothes, wait for the game. Then well, everybody gets done with the game, and all of a sudden, literally the water stops working in the stadium. So our entire team after the game did not have the ability to take a shower before getting on a plane to take a four and a half five hour plane ride

back to Jacksonville. You want to talk about one of the one of the stinkiest planes ever. Oh and I was the only one that smelled fresh. You had to smell everybody else. That was the issue. Oh, that was that was a crazy man. There's stories of the rats, and there's there's the skunks in the dugouts, and you know all the flooding of the training room other times, and the water the hot water doesn't work or doesn't work at all. First of all, it's what is it?

Want backups? What is it? The fourth oldest stadium in the NFL currently, Yes, l a Colisseum and then Soldier Field, But then Lambeau Field, which is Lambeau has been what I'm saying Oakland Alameda has not been raised on. They added that upper deck in the outfield Mountain Davis. The field level is literally, uh like some crazy number below sea level. Literally yeah, because they dug it down and you're walking off the street level in the upper deck

and then walked down into the hole. The only thing that you see, like if you're in the parking lot, you see the third deck, the third upper deck, because I remember the first time I've ever going there, and when you pull in, your like, where's the stadium at because you're looking at you kind of get used to them, and I will seet used to this. But most of the time when you go to stadium like Energy Stadium in Houston, when you when you're ten miles away, you're like,

oh my good there's the stadium Lucas Oil Field. Oh my goodness, look at the size of that stadium. When you're coming down the interstate to head to Oakland, you're like, where's the stadium, And all of a sudden you get off the exit and you're like, oh, that's right here. So it's it's very different, but it has archaic everything in that stadium. That's why the Raiders are headed to Vegas.

The a f C playoff picture through week fourteen, heading into week fifteen, the division leaders Baltimore, they've won the division. New England ten and three, Kansas City at nine and four, Houston at eight and five. The wild Cards currently the Bills at nine and four, the Steelers at eight and five, and of course this could this will jumble. The Texans and the Titans play this week and again in week seventeen,

and the hunt the Titans at eight and five. Browns Raiders take Texans got Texans got whooped by the Broncos last week they did, and Tennessee whooped the Raiders, Yes, they did so interesting this week that game will be. There are five teams officially eliminated, the Chargers, Jets, Jaguars, Dolphins, and Bengals. The Ravens are so good. The Patriots are kind of sliding a little bit, having some offensive food them off the field at halftime, and they're ten and

three offenses. Okay, they got how many rings they want? Seven? Yeah? Okay, so the fans are used to six rings. So when when Tom Brady in the offense doesn't function at a high level. They're gonna get booed. That's all right, it happens. Six rings hanging enough, But what have you done for me lately? That's why it is. That is the way it is. And uh, Kansas City. I think, look, this is gonna be I think the a f C is very interesting. Raven I think the Ravens are obviously hot

right now. I mean they're can they sustain that throughout the playoffs? Could have had that? Lamar Jackson, guy, I think, do we have to play this game again? You have had a lot of guys. Patrick had that, Patrick Mahomes could have had that. Deshaun Watson, guy, boy, Oh, so who's your favorite? Who's your Who's gonna win THEFC? I have no idea. I mean it's not a team. I'm serious, I have no idea. I mean right now, it's Ravens. They're the hottest team in football. I don't know how

you can pick against them right now. You can't. Mean there's other teams they're playing incredibly well. The one team I think that that why would put right up there. The Patriots got the experience and they'll find a way somehow at the end. To get better and then Patrick Mahomes can go toe to toe with anybody, anybody, I don't care who it is. He is special. You know that, all of a sudden, the Titans are playing some really

good football. Tanny Hill. Tanny Hill. There's a guy that they traded for, that got him for next to nothing, and he is doing a tremendous job for the Tennessee Titans. Mariota he's gone. He's out the door next year and they're not even gonna think about bringing him back in any capacity. So so that'll be exciting. Maybe are they Are they gonna extend him? Why wouldn't you? He's playing great,

He's playing great football. I think this past week he was the a f C Offensive Player of the Week and he's just he's had a really really good game against the Raiders, really good game, and the receiver A. J. Brown for Tennessee, he flat out war out early in that game. Worly is a starting corner for Worldly. I want to make sure I get the name right. I think it's Worly, really warm out rookie wearing out a fourth year corner. I mean warm out wasn't even close.

Put it this way, if a J. A J. Brown him. He is fast, he's big, and he was a second rounder. That's correct. Yes, I'd take him. Well, yeah, give me big, fast and in a stud wide receiver in the second round. Take him any day of the week. Thursday Night football coming up tonight at the five and eight New York Jets and the eleven into Baltimore Ravens on the Inner Harbor. I mean, you can't pick against the Ravens of this, can you? No? No, Jets have no chance, no chance,

have no chance. They're pretty good against the run. Who is Wow? Do you think that that's gonna make them good enough to to stop Lamar just saying. I'm just saying that there's one of the bar Jackson dude to the forty niners who they're pretty good against the round. He did pretty well against us, He did pretty well. Do you think Sam Donald can can do something on the road on Thursday night? I don't think so. And the running back was out doing cosmic bowling wearing orange

leather pants with the flu. So I'll put my money with the Ravens. Not that I ever bet for entertainment purposes only yes, I don't bet, No, only only do gentlemen's battling is illegal at Bushwood, Sir, no cash cash is ever. Jackson in that game against the Niners, by the way, hundred one yards rushing, sixteen carries a touchdown, and he threw for one oh five touchdown in there too, And um yeah they also mark Ingram is pretty good. Yeah,

pretty good. Yeah, they're good football team. Now. I give I give their coaches a lot of credit catering an offense towards his skill set. I think that's pretty special. Greg Roman, I believe, is the architect of that offense. And I give Hardball a lot of credit for doing what he's been able to do. Because when you when you change, when you change to that type of a quarterback, you you're all in. And they've done a really good job with it, really good job. All right. So the

Jaguars and the Raiders coming up Sunday in Oakland. It's a four oh five kickoff time at Oakland Almeda County Coliseum. I will hear from head coach Doug Maron coming up in just a few moments. The Doug Moron Show is right around the corner as the Jaguars prepare for Week fifteen. This is gonna be I'm gonna say this again, this isn't gonna be an exciting game and exciting environ ment. I don't think they're even though you have two football

teams that haven't won a lot of games. Like I think this is gonna be a lot of fun, a lot of fun. I mean, I think back to the Oakland Raiders of the seventies, you know when John Madden was at the Helm, and that place has a lot of history, It has a lot of special moments. Has the Heidie game, JP, you don't even know what the Heidie game. We're back in the moment. The Doug Morons

Show coming up next on the Jaguars Radio Network. Thank you for listening to Jaguars Capia on the Jaguars Digital Network.
