Jaguars Happy Hour: Thursday, January 7 - Hour Two

head coach opening now for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And we must say at the start of this program, let's just throw it out there. This was the Doug Moron Show for the last three years plus for four years really, and it's no longer the Doug Moron Show. It is now Jaguars Happy Hour. But our best to Doug Marone and Helen and the kids and the family and uh Logs. I know we we touched on an earlier show here in Jacksonville. But he's gonna end up okay at the NFL.

I mean he's he's he's pretty well respected, certainly as a position coach of anything he can, he's gonna get a gig. Yeah, And look coaches when I when I entered the league, and then they sign up to be assistant coaches and coordinators and the certainly head coaches. They understand that NFL sometimes can stand not for long and that the jobs don't last and job security is not exactly at the top of the list. And they get it. But you know that could be very difficult for families

to accept that. And so I got to say this, Doug is a is a top notch, first class guy. Love working with him. He has been extremely gracious with us through the years and has been very uh forthright and uh and given us great information, which in turn has allowed the listeners to be able to enjoy a lot of information and also to learn a lot. And I appreciate Doug for that. And Doug been good to me and on o JP, he's been good to you,

and we're gonna miss him. And uh, without a doubt, good dude, No no matter if he you know, if he gets a gig, takes a year or whatever he wants to do, you will see them around town. So if you do shake his hand, he's he's approachable and a good guy, and um, he will be. And he's not very social though he'll be the first one Dad he said. Look, I'm not a social guy, but he's not. He won't like punch you in the face if you know, as we come up to him to shake his hand.

I mean, he's a good guy. And uh and look here, nobody wanted to win more than Doug Marone and and sacrifice more to to get wins for this football team than Doug Moron. It just didn't work. And uh and and just like past dead coaches, you know, we have a lot of them that love Jacksonville and then are going to be a part of the fabric of our community. Tom Coughlin, Mike Mallark, uh, even Gus Bradley. I think it's gonna be able to come back at some point, Uh,

Smitty Mike Smith is not far down the road. And I'm sure or that Doug would like to be able to stay a part of this fabric as well. Look, we got a beautiful city and uh and a lot of the love about Jacksonville, and some of these ex head coaches are are going to be in our community, our community, and it's awesome that they stay a part

of our community. I think it speaks volumes for how wonderful of a city that we have great place to be and once folks come here and realize that, maybe they don't realize that if they've never been here or haven't been here a lot or in and out, but once you're here and live here for a while, you know the secret that is Jacksonville. And it's a great place to be for sure. Now to the football side, and the GM gig has been open for some time now.

The interview process is on down the road a little bit. It feels like they're the head coach. Names have popped up this week though, Jeff and there are some interesting names that are associated with the Jaguars opening. I think the most interesting is that of Urban Meyer, the former Ohio State Florida head coach. That's where he won three

national titles combined with those two schools. And if you were watching on Jaguars dot com, you see the other names that have been listed the Enemy, Garrett Rahee, Morris, Robert Salo, Arthur Smith all tied at least in some way to the Jaguars head coach opening. But the one that pops off the page there that everybody's talking about is Urban Meyer. Logs sure, I mean and understandably so, because he's a big name. He uh everywhere he's been, Utah, Florida,

Ohio State, he's flat out one. And that's what this team wants, and that's what the fans want, is winning. And there's also a little flip side of that, and that when he left those programs that wasn't exactly on good terms. So a lot of fans of the Florida Gators aren't big fans of Urban Meyer. And I think a lot of Ohio State fans, if there already in this area, I'm sure there's a few because they have a pretty broad reach, may not like or be big

fans of of Urban Meyer. But you know, look, uh he went and uh and it doesn't me that he's gonna win at the pro level because at the college level, you're allowed to have better talent than anybody else, and it's can be a little bit unfair because you cannot recruit people well. In the National Football League, you have a salary cap that essentially governs your talent where you can only get so much as far as paying them.

But there there is no cap as far as acquiring talent through the draft, which makes the general manager so very important. Now, the other name on that list that's pretty interesting to me is Arthur Smith. He's a hot Yeah, he's been coming candidate offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans JP and and and you know, with a young quarterback coming in, you know, a bright offensive mind, many people are gonna look at as a favorable situation to get

for a young quarterback. And not to interrupt you there, sorry about that, but Arthur Smith is I think the only one of head coaching candidates that is interviewing with every job opening in the NFL this year. I mean, he's making the rounds on the circuit. Well, it's because

he's an offensive guy. I mean, look, anybody that has an opportunity to take an offensive coordinator position for a football team that's gonna have a running back that's gonna rush for back to back two thousand plush yards seasons, take the job because it's gonna make you a hot

candidate if you can run the football. Obviously, he's at Derrick Henry there in Tennessee, and he's done a good job though, and uh and the Chargers have a great situation with their young quarterback, and I'm sure that he's

going to be high on their list. He's probably going to be high on the Jaguars list because they're effected to draft a quarterback in the draft, and so you want to you know that I said a little bit ago we were talking to Tony Boselli, and our conversation was about look first and foremost for the head coaching position,

you want to have somebody that's a leader. But if you had a choice as far as what side of the ball that he's cut his teeth on or or is considered his area of expertise, you would take the offensive side of the ball just so you can continue to have continuity. But it's not the most important thing.

And I would probably use John Harball as an example of that because John Harball essentially was a special teams coordinator, which I think special teams coordinators should get more consideration for head coaching position because they manage a wide range of people all from offensive and defensive sides of the ball, and coaches that they would make great candidates. But John

Harball has done a great job. Whether he's had a mobile quarterback in Lamar Jackson or if he's had the statue in the pocket with Joe uh, what's his name? Help me out, JP, Joe his quarterback in Baltimore. Thank

you bla at a brain fart. But I mean he's been able to win with different styles of offense, and he's had different offensive coordinators to do that, and so I think that that goes to show you that it's not the most important or the only thing that's important when hiring a head coach is that he is from the offensive side of the ball. But it certainly wouldn't hurt Joe Judge is another one with the Giants now who was a special child coordinator j P I. I

gotta say this about Joe Judge. I remember we had the opportunity a couple of years ago to go up to Foxborough and the Jaguars were practicing against the Patriots, and so we got to spend a couple of days up there and to watch and to also experience the preseason game that was played up there. So we got to see firsthand how Bill Belichick runs things with his practice, which was impressive, the most impressive thing to me, and I said it last year when he was hired with

the new York Giants. The most impressive thing for me watching the Patriots practice was how they ran their special team. Not one time did they have to call for somebody that wasn't on the field when they were supposed to.

Because you're when you're in a special teams coordinator, you're managing a all eighty guys or or more if they had the expanded rosters, and to be able to get them on and off the field without guy he's missing, without guys not knowing what they're you know, missing assignments or whatever. And that was all because of Joe Judge.

That's not phill Belichick. Though. When Joe got the job with the Giants, I became a fan of his when we were there for the for the for the practices, and I think he did a very good job this year. And then when he came out to make the strong statement that he did about what the Philadelphia Eagles did and about how that he could never do that with the New York Giants JP, I became an even bigger

fan of his. And if you can find a guy like that that's a strong leader, or a John Harball that's a strong leader, by all me get know plenty ahead on Jaguars Happy Hour will return with quarterback talk and most namely a quarterback from Clemson who has declared for the NFL Draft.

Shadrick Jeff Logerman, glad you're along with us. We're done with the regular season. The Jaguars did not qualify for the playoffs this year. At one and fifteen, they lost fifteen straight games. So that means long is that they have the number one overall pick. We've just discussed the GM and had coaching change and all those interviews coming, but with number one overall, this is a as you'll see on Jaguars dot com, a full reboot of the organization.

And it gets no bigger with the number one pick than the quarterback position. We even heard shot Con on Monday discuss that a handful of times during his comments the lack of a franchise quarterback over the last eight years, especially during his term as owner here. And you can even go well past that obviously. So this is the year you have the pick. There are a couple of big names that are out there, and it's the stars

are lining up, Logs. Let's say at well, I mean, how many people view Trevor Lawrence as a generational talent and and and he may be and I hope he is. I think it would be awesome for the fan base to have a franchise quarterback to where they can root forward watch grow through the next decade decade and a half, I mean, as we're seeing quarterbacks now play into their forties, So I mean, could it be in fact two decades. I don't know, but it would be awesome to see.

And Trevor Lawrence has an incredible skill set and and got to say that I've had the opportunity to watch him a little bit this week and watch the film and I'm gonna watch all of the snaps in which he has either run or thrown a pass this year for the Clemson Tigers and started watching a little bit of it this week and and love a lot of things that I see. I mean, he's got great athleticism,

is decision making is very good. He has accuracy, arm strength, and throw the deep out fifteen yards out and it's on the money and it's on a rope. And those are the things that you like to have. And I think also what I think is going to help a coach, especially in the developmental phase, is that his mobility will help him I think be successful when because look, when a quarterback hits the ground running when he's a rookie, it's hard to be successful if you're just going to

try to stay in the pocket. But young quarterbacks that have mobility can get out of the pocket and kind of manufacture success out of the pocket until they learn to to have success from in the pocket. And I

think Trevor Lawrence gives that that ability and coaches. I think anybody that wants to take a job with a young quarterback would like to have that scenario of a young quarterback that has mobility that can do things out of the pocket so that they can learn on the run, so to speak, until they can learn to function like a Peyton manning in the pocket and be completely in the pocket and be just a great passer. But he's

been fun to watch. He's been a joy and uh and I look forward to watching more of him and kind of giving a little update each and every week. But so far what I've seen of him has and has been really good, and it's been been fun to watch. Now, it's been fun to watch, and I think the whole read option stuff, you're gonna see a lot of that

with him when he comes to the Jaguars. If he comes to the Jaguar, you know, it's all these videos on Twitter and online on YouTube and all this of his highlights and and big time throws and deep balls at Clemson, there was there was one I watched I must have met a few weeks ago, and he's rolling left. He's right handed, obviously, he's rolling left out of the pocket, nearing the sideline and then just unleashes one on the run thirty four yards down the field on a dime,

end of the end zone, touchdown him. It's like, that's stuff that you just really can't teach your the way that that ball came out of his hands. It's just one example, but he does things with the ball that a lot of guys just can't do. Yeah, I don't know if can you can you see that JP? Yeah? I got that up right there. Yeah. Look, let's try to Lawrence. Okay, got got a little film up of him right there and and going against Vanderbilt. Oh that now that's probably a good game for him. Yeah. Well,

I mean, look let's see about this play. Okay, A little little fake, a little read option handoff, and he carries out the fake. I mean, he's he's a talent quarterback, and I think it's pretty clear cut. I mean, any quarterback that has been. As good as he has been, and consistent as he has been, and available as he has been, there is absolutely nothing not to like about him. You know. But I want to say this, A lot of people, I think in the fan base and and

I think it's a little a little much. They think he's going to be a savior, and last time I checked, the quarterback can't be. It's it's very difficult to have one guy be the savior. Look at Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow had a very good year, but it was a tough year and he took his lumps and unfortunately got injured. And then for the Chargers, Justin Herbert had what was a really good season lead them for I mean, it's

really good for a rookie seven and nine. Was able to put together some wins down the stretch and was a really good, really good player. Broke a lot of rookie records passing and such. I mean those are you know, Kyler Murray another one that had success out of the gates rookie. I mean, these are exciting young quarterbacks, but they didn't completely change the franchise's direction in one year. There's a lot of decisions that have to be made

around picking a franchise quarterback. That have to be done well to allow the quarterback to have success and to allow the team to have success. And hopefully the Jaguars will make some great decisions, make some really good hires, and get a lot of good people that can help build this organization to where it needs to be. Some of those decisions will include pending free agents, and we'll get to the list of those for the Jaguars when we return. We're off and running. It's Jaguars Happy Hour

Welcome back to Jaguars Happy Hour. Here's your host, g P. Shad Rick. Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday evening. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logoman. I guess it's not even the evening yet. What is the borderline for evenings? Seven lugs? What do you think evening typically starts at five o'clock? Okay,

so I was right, Okay, yeah, yeah, you're good. I mean we're five twenty, we're only minutes pasted it. Yeah, you're correct, you're politically correct. Okay, just making sure. I don't want to, you know, bad emails or tweets coming my way. But I got that wrong. So we were discussing building this organization. You know, obviously the quarterback is one thing, but there are some other things you have

to do to get things right around the quarterback. And you brought it up earlier today we were getting ready for the show about pending free agents for the Jaguars that are currently on the roster and logs. There are uh twenty seven pending free agents on this team, according to spot track, So let's go through them. What what

do you what do you want to start here? Well, I think that is a big number, and twenty seven I think when you look at that as a whole, people would kind of panic a little bit and say, oh my god, I mean, how do they gonna build a team next year? You know? So remember though that these twenty seven are guys that were signed for essentially roster filling spots. We call them borderline players are bubble players.

But out of those twenty seven, I would say there's about six or seven that were starters on defense this year, and you could kind of massage it either way however you wanted to do it. You could even go to eight if you had maybeen as a starter at the one corner spot towards the end of the season. And on offense, you got about three or four and some important ones on offense because they're at the position group that is I think pretty good, and that's the wide

receiver group. So are you gonna be able to keep you know, some names Keeling Cole. Are you gonna be able to keep d J. Chark? Are you gonna want to keep Chris Conley? You know, those are all questions that you're gonna have to look at and and the general manager is gonna have to talk about with ownership and head coach and review the film and and probably get a little history or background on these guys and find out who's a good fit for the type of

culture that they're trying to establish. But defensively, you know, the Jaguars struggled on defense this year, make no mistake about it. So I wouldn't panic either about saying, Okay, well, they're six or seven or eight starters on defense that are gonna be free agents. A lot of those guys are again, bubble type starter And the reality is is that the Jaguars had a lot of bubble type starters

this year. Bubble type players as starters. I have to correctly say, so uh, And look, the Jaguars are gonna be h blush with cap space. And also there's gonna be a lot of teams in the league that are trying to adjust to get under the cap and won't have the the leg room, so to speak, that the Jaguars will have in free agency. So I don't think it will be any issue for the Jaguars, but it's gonna obviously depend on the opinion of the new leadership

that gets higher. I'd say the biggest name of those is Cam Robinson left tackle lugs. I mean, he's coming up. He's obviously a very important position. When you have a new franchise quarterback back there that you like to keep upright and healthy. Um, that'll be a huge decision to see if they, you know, want to try to pay him, or franchise isn't for a year to figure it out or just move on. I got my list up here

real quick, Jao. I pulled my list up and and go back away from the playoff record rushing combine yards we were talking about a little bit earlier. Um, But yeah, Cam Robinson is right up there the other one, and I think that's of notice. Tyler Shatley. Look at the number of games that Brandon Lender has missed over the last number of years and how many that Tyler Shatley has had to take over as a starter, whether it be at center for Lender or even at guard at times,

and he's done a very good job. So in a perfect world, you'd love to bring him back and uh and have him as part of your your rotation or part of your game day actors. But I think there's gonna be some interest from outside on Tyler Shatley because he did do a good job while he was in there, starting that guard, end that center. Well. I mean, at some point, you know, if if he's around here, you'd like to plug him in to start, right, I mean in one of those positions. Is he better started as

a center, as a guard or or what? Yeah, But to see, here's the here's the problem. JP, who are you gonna take out? Are you gonna take Norwell out? Who had arguably his best year as a pro and who who kind of garnered the nickname to where we were actually talking about his nickname this year, Big Nasty. You're not gonna take a J Cann out. A J Can was as consistent as any offensive lineman that there is, and and Lenda is still better than than Tyler Shatley.

The one difference between Lender and Shatley is that Shatley has been very dependable on availability and Lender has been injured and so you know, I don't know how that's gonna work. Out, but I think that I think some team probably uh might have had their I fought by Tyler Shatley this year, but it'll be interesting to see how that works out. So it probably anyway, just go out and test the mary if you're if you're a player, Cam Robinson, DJ char Keelan Cole, why would you not

want to test the market. The the the best premium that you get for your services and when you get multiple interested party so that people are willing to quote unquote bid for your services. And and I've been in free agency, have been in free agency twice in my career. Once I was a restrictive free agent, but I was a free agent when I came to Jacksonville. And then when my first contract that I signed with the Jaguars expired, I had another opportunity in free agency and chose to

come back with the Jaguars. But look, you always, uh, the team will sit there and tell you you know what, you know, we really love you and this is our best offer and we can't do anymore, you know, And then all of a sudden you go to free agency, and then all of a sudden the team that said, you know, we can't go any more than that all of a sudden finds a way to come up a

little bit funny, you know. So free agency is not a bad thing for getting, you know, taking care of the business side of things, for for a player in your not to get too personal, but in your last free agency run where there are other teams bidding on you, is for lack of a better term, And what were those teams if you'd like to disclose, Denver Broncos. Dever Broncos had an interest of pretty clear interest that um right before my last year. But uh, and had a

familiar face out there. One of my former coaches with the Jets was there, and so he was like, you know, hey, look we want you to come to Denver. And I was like, man, I can't go to work for the enemy. I mean we we just got done playing them. I mean, come on, man, I can't do it, you know. But I mean, look, it was good to have the interest, do you know what. It makes you feel good because you get wanted. And it also kind of bumps the

number up, I think for everybody. And I don't remember exactly if the numbers got bumped up from that or not, but uh, but that doesn't hurt. I can tell you that. And so if you're any of those, any of these twenty seven guys are gonna have an opportunity to the free agency. The money is gonna be a little tight because of the tightening of the belt around the National Football League with the drop in revenue this year because

of COVID. So if their expectation is is that they're gonna, you know, break the bank, and it ain't happening, I think you're gonna see a lot of shorter term deals with some players. I think uh and uh. And in order for these players to get back maybe to when the revenue does bounce back, they can re enter the market once again. Let's come back in a moment and get into some of the bright spots in I know this is probably a quick segment, but we'll get into

it when we come back. It is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Radio Network.

Here I am Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logerman, Glad you're along with us today, a week after the regular season playoff games coming up this weekend Super wild Card Weekend, three games each day Saturday and Sunday. That should be fun looking forward to that. Beautiful doesn't

get much beautiful beautiful. I mean, shoot, you know, it's the last week of deer season around these parts, JP, and uh, you know it's it's gonna be gonna be tough. You know. The good thing is is that they have the the NFL app on on my Horizon phone. So I'm actually gonna take the phone to the deer stand with my ear plugs and uh in my extra battery charger, and I'm gonna watch some football from the deer staff. It's pretty good. It's it's um, I'm not a big

deer hunter. Shocking, I know, but is it difficult to watch football and hunt deer at the same time? Are you like looking in two places? Like, what's the deal? How does that work? Uh? It's so yeah, it's uh, it's not very good for you know. The big one might walk by, That's what I'm saying. I can't believe they called that penalty on that Are you kid? Me review that play? And then you look up and you just see his rear end walk through the woods. You're like, oh,

what happened? Right? That doesn't see It's that's probably not a good That's all right, j P. It's a look, there's a lot of downtime when you're sitting there and waiting for you know, you know, nice opportunity to harvest a deer, and so sometimes you got some things to do, you know, so why not watch NFL football? Man? You know,

here's the crazy thing about the NFL this weekend. I mean, isn't it on like all these different channels like Nickelodeon and uh like Network, all these crazy channels right there all over the place, which is you know, they're trying to get two different audiences obviously in different games, and so hey, pretty cool. So that's I think it's a And then Monday night, of course, the National Championship game is on the schedule, so yeah, I'm definitely gonna watch

that one too. Hey, we're gonna need some of that venison bean dip by the way, speaking of deer hunting, that we need you to harvest a deer or the venison one of the two. That's a request to kind of funny about how how many um pro hunters that I have around my broadcast brothers. Okay, and so the people that are out there listening, they might have been against hunting, but then they had a taste of Terra's veniceon chili or of Terra's seven layer venison bean dip,

and they have become instantly pro hunter. I like it. We'll see. Let's just for the record, I've never had anything against hunting. I just don't hunt, but I like to eat, so I've never had I've never had uh. I've never been against a lot of things JP. But I'm an American. I believe and that people should have the right to choose some of the things that they would like to do. It's a great country. Now it's a bad country. When people try to dictate what others

should or should not do. That that's when I become a non fan of those people. The Outdoors Show Saturday mornings at seven on Tin Tin XL in Jacksonville. More hunting stories coming up. Let's set touch on some of the bright spots. Yes, there are some bright spots for the version of the Jacksonville Jaguars. It gets no brighter this year logs than James Robinson and what he did in an undrafted rookie year without an off season program on the field. He came into training camp and blew

the doors off the place. Basically when and they cut l Fournette and all of a sudden he lives up to the expectation and beyond well beyond h I think first and foremost, when the decision was made to cut Leonard Fournette, I refer back to shot CON's comments this week when he talked about he had control of the roster and and he was all about facilitating the exit for players that didn't want to be here, and about how he wanted to fix a toxic locker room, and

Leonard Bournette was one of those guys that was shipped out. So but also um which I think that takes courage to do that, because you're taking a leap of faith by cutting a guy that was a high pick in a proven commodity to commit to a young man who was an undrafted guy that Okay, the local scout in that area is telling you, man, this guy is pretty good. You know. The only thing he probably doesn't have is a great speed. But he's got great balance, he's got strength,

he's got great vision. And you're sitting there as a coach, I'm sure or is you know the guy that's sitting there. Do we cut Leonard Fournette even though he's maybe a bad guy or not great for our locker room and he wants out of here. Well, heck, I mean it takes a leap of faith to be able to commit

to a guy like James Robinson. So I credit the coaching staff and and the organization on that one because they called something there that none of us saw because we obviously didn't have the ability to watch closely with the COVID situation and everything else, and we saw that James Robinson looked good at times, but when you don't have any preseason games, how do you know? You know, that's where the faith comes in. So credit the coaching

staff on that one. Yeah. I remember Doug bron saying that, you know, we're taking the numbers and the names off the jerseys, as cliche as it gets, and that's exactly what they did. I had a conversation with Doug about

that about James Robinson. It was about that time, and and uh, and they had made the decision to part ways with Leonard Bournette, and I remember, you know, he came out and he said that, you know, we want to He essentially said something to the effect of, we we want the best players to play, and a lot of people took that as Doug just totally blowing smoke up. Everybody's rare in right, I mean right, I mean, I mean everybody's like, there's no way James Robinson and is

what's best for this team. He's not better than Leonard four Nette, Doug's lion. You know this is a prog. They're tanking. You know what, It was the right decision. He's the better running back. And so all those people that we were downing on Doug Maron for saying those comments, you might want to take what you said back because he was spot on and he was dead honest and you didn't believe. We'll come back in a moment and touch on some of the other offensive playmakers for this team.

There are a few that could stick around and make an impact with a new quarterback on the way slightly, It's Jaguars Happy Hour on Jaguars Radio.

Here's your host, G. P. Shadrick. We're back Jaguars Happy Hour J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagaman. The week after the regular season and a change at head coach, Doug Moron

out interviews are underway. The general manager gig is open as well, and there's a lot going on around the Jaguars organization these days. We're continuing our conversation a logs about some of the offensive playmakers. We're gonna leave the defense out of this tonight just because, I mean, come on, they had some issues this year, let's say. But on the offensive side, there are some guys out there, obviously

that you have high hopes for. D J. Chark one of those that you know, there's a lot of talk earlier in the year, all pay him the day after the season, But the statistics this year we're not quite some of the body language stuff, you know, Let's let's see him with a new quarterback, I think in my opinion. Then you got Levisca Chennault who really came on strong, and last two weeks of the season, of all things,

he was banged up a lot. Those are two names that really pop out that can be around here for a while. And if you add one to that somehow or a couple to that within new quarterback and the offensive line for the most part staying intact in the run game, Hey, all of a sudden you have what could be a pretty nice offense. Sure, and I will say this, you need to find a way to get

a dynamic playmaker at tight end. Um. There might be not a better best friend for a young quarterback than a really good tight end, and that's the short throws. You know, he's a guy that can grow with the young quarterback. And you had one that you drafted a couple of years ago, but he hasn't seen the fleet field yet. And so in my mind, you still go out and you stay aggressive and you try to find

find a guy. And that position is extremely important, and it's extremely important because of the matchups and as we've seen what the great tight ends one in San Francisco and obviously in Kansas City with Kelsey, his numbers have been incredible. Kittle's numbers two years ago were incredible. I mean, these are great players, but they create really tough matchups

for defensive coordinators. And the reason why is that defensive coordinators don't know how to treat one of those tight ends Kittle Kelsey tight Do they treat him as a wide receiver or do you treat him as a blocker because both of them do both jobs very well, and so you kind of get in a little bit of a use of fancy word jape you that they didn't even teach you at Alabama a conundrum. So you're not quite sure what to do. Do you play nicol or do you play based defend and uh And that creates

a little competitive advantage for offensive coordinet. So I love to see that. I love to see another young running back come in that's got great speed. And I'm talking home run speed because I think that's the only component of James Robinson's game that he doesn't have, his his elite breakaway home run speed and the continued development of the wide receivers La viscous Chault trying to find a way to stay healthier or DJ chart to to continue to develop and continue to work, and also for him

to get healthy and back on track. And I think I have confidence in DJ that he will, just because I know the type of person and how hard of a worker that he is. It'd be nice to see all those guys coming up with you on the tight end thing. I mean that that can change a lot of that. I thought you're gonna say, You're gonna say me on that they don't teach conundrum that I was gonna let it go. But that's okay, I mean, you know, I'm just glad that you can can spell it for me. Lugs huh uh c O n U N d r

u N. That's that's right. That's right. Is that right? Let me google it real quick. That's right. That's right enough. Right now, let's come back in a moment, we'll continue our conversation. The GM and coach search continues. We've got plenty ahead as we wind down here. It's Jaguars Happy

Welcome back to Jaguar's Happy Hour. Here's your host, J P. Shadrick. We're back. Jaguar's Happy Hour continues JP Shadrick with Jeff flag been heading into the off season. We're a weekend, well less than a weekend. The last game was Sunday,

of course, and there's already a lot going on. Logs head coach search, GM search, Trevor Lawrence declared for the draft this week. There's a lot j stuff happening and in the city council today, which is we'll leave that for the news anchors and reporters of the world, but at some point there could be news down the line on that in the next if not today then early next week. That's It's a lot changing happening going on

around the Jaguars, on and off the field right now. Logs, Yeah, a lot, and uh and I think it creates for a sense of excitement, and I think and that that's great, And I think the one thing that you have when you have a team that only won one game is that you hope that you have hope And and I think with the expected drafting of Trevor Lawrence, with the excitement of who's gonna come in and coach this football team and also who's going to be making the decisions

of who is gonna be able to say, hey, look, we're gonna draft Trevor Lawrence. And then also who's gonna be determining who else this football team draft. I mean, these are all exciting things and and I think it's been a while since this organization has had kind of a sense or or a reset or a refresh and the excitement to go along with it. I think it's had reset, but not the excitement to go along with it. In the prospect of drafting a quarterback. First overall, I mean,

this is this is a great opportunity. It can be potentially franchise altering and uh and exercise exciting. I mean, I look, JP, I'm I'm still watching Trevor Lawrence. I'm watching the University of Miami game now, so be like commercial breaks, I'm like right back down to my to my iPad watching Trevor Lawrence. It's great stuff. Is that the Miami game from this year? Yeah? Yeah, this is all this year stuff, man, because there's like hardly anybody

in the stands. Of course South Carolina they had limited people in the stands. But he threw some beautiful deep balls in this game. Yeah, and I'm not uh, they still got a ways to go yet. They played well, that was a big ball game, and uh it was a top ten matchup. And and Lawrence had three touchdown passes in that game. Forty one passing wasn't acceptably sharp. I mean there was some you know, he had some completions, but they ended up blowing him out of the water.

Et N had two touchdowns on the ground. Lawrence ran for a score as well. Yeah, and and the score that he ran on a little read option. I just got done watching read option play. And he fakes the handoff and then he's got one guy to beat, or appears to be one guy, and then, uh, that guy doesn't really get a good piece hing. But as he's going in, a second guy actually gets a piece of his head. Remember then, Uh, and when Trevor Lawrence stands up, he literally like spikes the ball all and get in

the guy's face a little bit. I like it because you know, I mean the shot to the head when he was already crossing the end zone. I mean, I like it. I mean, give me, give me a little fire man, give me a little fire like fire. That's what happens when you play the University of Miami. You gotta give it right back to him. Sometimes, the Keynes man, those guys. You know, I see if I can, if I can get this play here on the goal line

here it is JP. Okay, well I'll probably get we'll get in trouble from the standpoint of this is college film, and I don't put that down. I don't think we can. So I better not. You better put that. That's the that's the rushing touchdown. That down he scored, and he talked to the guy. Everybody's like everybody. First of all, everybody on the radio is going, dude, what are you talking about? We can't see uh okay, it's radio. And then people that are watching on social media are sitting

there going leading a game to the screen. Oh man, all right, let's come back. We've got one final segment ahead. Our final thoughts will look ahead to Super wild Card weekend as well, and this is Jaguars Happy Hour on Jaguars Radio. The best thing about working at Fara and Farah is all of the employees.

It's Jaguars Happy Hour and we've got a little less than five minutes to go of the program. JP Shadrick and Jeff Lockaman. Glad you're along with us today. Thank you for joining us. And if you've just joined us. This of course was the Doug Maron Show, and Doug Marone was relieved of his duties on Monday, and we wished him the best at the start of the program.

But um now it's on to find a new head coach and a new general manager and Frank guys quarterback in that process. Yes, and we need to find a new host for next week, and I hear we we have the prospects of a really good one. We've gotten you know we're gonna make an upgrade next week since JP is going to be absent. Yeah, that's that's exactly.

That's exactly what it's called, and driving the bus exactly what the business calls it is an upgrade, yes indeed, and Ashley will be here next week for both hours of Jaguars Happy Hour four o'clock locally in Jacksonville and five o'clock on the Jaguars Radio Network. We appreciate her stepping in, so I'll miss you next week, Logs, but we'll be back with you, probably not. I've been around you enough. I need to go see my family, so I'm good a j the the old b S meter

just wanted. That's right. So some good playoff game Saturday and Sunday this week, and we won't hit them all here, but I must say I'm looking for first off to the Ram Seahawks, just because the Jags need the Seahawks to win and the Rams to lose to help the Trap status. That's my Saturday game I'm watching, and then the Ravens Titans match up. If you like running football, that's your game and that's mine. I like I like

running I like the running football. And because Derrick Henry is a back like like no other with the stiff farm and then you've got the electricity of Lamar Jackson. I mean it doesn't you get kind of two different types of runners. One that's like electric and fast and and blinding, and then the other one is sheer power and brute strength and also speed and finesse. I mean, Derrick Henry is a combination of all of them that

to me is gonna be must must watch TV. But I mean, every game, I think, for the most part, is gonna be a really good game. I think Chicago is gonna get hammered. I think Indianapolis is gonna get hammered. I don't know if those games are gonna be necessarily close,

but I'm hoping just to be entertained. You know, that's the beautiful thing about not having a dog in the race or a dog in the hunt, is that you can sit back and just sit there and look at the screen and go, you know what, entertain me, Give me good football, And for the most part, the NFL provides it. During playoff week, I must say, though, Lugs, I'd rather have a dog in the hunt. For being honest, Yeah, of course, of course, better to have a dog in

the hunt, you know. Uh, look, we haven't had a dog in the hunt much, JP, Right, and that's why we are where we are. So the goal is to have this dog hunting in January in future years. So let's all that's all this, you know, train our dog and getting ready for next year maybe, right? Sure, how many dogs have you trained to hunt? I'm scared to ask. Well, I don't know. There's there's there's one dog that can

hunt pretty good and his name is Trevor. And so we're gonna we're gonna work on and look, I'm not saying that Jaguars are going to the playoffs to slow down. Let's not give ourselves a speeding ticket. Okay, a end. He's not gonna be a savior. There's a lot of good things that need to happen alongside the drafting of of a quarterback first overall. But but it's exciting, JP.

I mean, here's the thing. How many texts have you received since the season ended, or should I say to go back since prior to the last game of the season. So since week came ended, people texted you about a bad football team, excited that you got the first overall, it's from people I had not heard from in a long long time. They came out of the week, so it's a big The Jaguars are on the radar again. Lives will talk to you in a couple of weeks.

Ashland Sullivan in next week to host this program. Thank you for listening and for watching. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Radio Network.
