Jaguars Happy Hour: Thursday, October 10

I was going to Northern shapehead fish. It's a northern snakehead fish to the yankste River basin and China, and it's an invasive species and it is found in fourteen states and Alan Georgia, and they're putting the word out in Georgia and other parts of the country that if you see it, kill it. Yeah, yeah, get after it. It just takes over everything. Yes, I don't know the show. That's what it looks like. It's kind of like kind of look like we kind of look alike. And here's

a crazy thing. Look at it. Smith, Yeah, strange. Here's what's coming and here's what's coming. Up on the program today. Well, Mr Khan smoke today Jaguar's owner, we'll hear what he had to say about cornerback Jalen Ramsey turnover battle. Maron discussed what his expectations were for the turnovers this week, stopping the rondo big topic of course, all week long,

JAG's offense continues to roll. We'll go around the National Football League as well, some big topics, and then at five o'clock today is the Doug Morone Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Let's start with Jaguar's owner shot con today on the Street of Business News website speaking with kath and Ross, the reporter there on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Here's the exchange when she

asked about Jalen Ramsey. Let's talk about your team. Jalen Ramsey has not played the last two games, but you still want him on your team? What would it take for you to trade him? Well, I think you know he's gonna be playing this week, so hopefully you'll tune into the Saints game. Um, but I think it's something, Uh, you know, you've got to balance what's good for the team with what the individual, maybe which is might be, and I think we'll be able to kind of form

alate the here. I met him a couple of days ago. I had a heart to heart, and I think we'll be able to come to whatever makes sense for all. Video and audio courtesy of the Street at the Street on Twitter. Interesting stuff there when the owner says he thinks he's gonna play, and the heart to heart meeting, all the things he said he's gonna play. Okay, okay, Ian heart meet. I'm sure it was in office as this is. There's a massage chair and I mean because

the issues with the bag, you gotta make sure he's comfortable. White. Oh, I know he's back in the practice field. Whatever. I'm sure it's a little I'll tell you this. I'm looking forward to Washington play. Uh, because Michael Thomas pretty good wide receivers. This is what if the owner says he's playing. I know that on the injury report he's listed as limited, but I mean if he if the owner says he's

gonna play, you would expect him to play, right. So uh, and boy, what a time to have him back because Michael Thomas is a good wide receiver. I mean really good wide receiver. He was an absolute beast in the game last week against Tampa. Big, strong, fast, tough, set the league record for catches in the first three season three one surpassed oh b jig numbers. I mean, he's a great player. He's great player and and uh, even though he doesn't have Drew Brees, he's still a great

player with Teddy Bridgewater. Yeah, well listen, just like we talked, this is the reason why you get Jameson Ramsey. You draft Jaylen Ramsey number five overall. He's a dynamic number one DV in the country. And my assessment, all jokes aside, we want Jayla ram to give us the best opportunity to win against this team because they do have Michael Thomps. He is dynamic, he is big, he's physical. And if I'm Jalen Ramsey, you don't let nobody come in my house and put up in the stats. You know what

I'm saying. Last thing, jay Lee would want to be on the sideline. If Michael Thomas comes in here, it gets twelve twenty twelve, two hundred yards and two touchdowns. And if you're on the sideline, But if you're in your house and you're the man you want to go up against their man, and Michael Thomas and Jayla Ramsy should be a very entertainment one on one matchup come Sunday. Jaylen limited officially again today, so back to back limited days on the practice field. Well, I'm looking forward to

watching them play. I mean seriously, when and I think there's according injury report. If he's limited, then that doesn't mean for sure that he's gonna play. And until the official injury designation comes out tomorrow, we won't know for sure. But when an owner says or the owner says that he's gonna play, then you would expect him to play. And uh, I don't know what was said in the heart to heart obviously nobody is privy to that conversation, and uh, but who knows. I mean, maybe it was

something that maybe they got. Any if the one that comes out and says he's playing, I mean, Jayalen had to tell him he was playing. There would be any other reason for the own him to say that he was playing if he's not. If Jada didn't say he was playing, So I mean, I mean, and if you're talking a heart the heart man to man, I'm sure you know shan Kahn being a businessman here he is. He said, Hey, Jayla, are you gonna play on Sunday? And Jayla had to have said yes, I'm gonna play

on Sunday or he would even made that comment. So the rest is on Jayalen now because I'm sure he's had I'm sure he shot said, Hey, he told him he's going to play on Sunday, So I mean he's gonna play on Sunday. So if he doesn't play on Sunday, well, the world then the next story. We'll we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But to reiterate what shot Koan's words were, he said he didn't say that. Jayalen told him he was going to play. Now we want to make sure we get he said he's going

to go yes, So that's good. It is. It is. Let's move on because I'm sure this will be a storyline either way. This thing goes the next couple of days here. Turnovers. You know, the Jags are minus in that department for the season. They were minus three last week in Carolina and Doug Marone earlier this week said, you don't really need even to win. You'd love to win the turnover battle each week, but you don't want to lose it either. He wants to be pretty close

to even. And we just talked to Place and we said, listen, we want to protect the football, yes, and we want to take takeaways, but hey, listen, let's just let's just be even. Let's just be even and go out there and play and and see how the game goes and give us sales at fifty chance of winning. So that was one of the things that we've talked about today

of you know, hey, secure in the football. Takeaway stole things, if we can get them, that will help us, you know, go ahead and give you an opportunity to play, you know, with the lead. This is both sides of the ball. Of course, the Jack's gave it up a few times last week, but they only have one defensive takeaway all season. You gotta get this all away from the other side. Yeah, and let's let's address that first, because the other one is a muff on special teams that happened against Tennessee

early in that ball game. So a defense that for many people thought was gonna be one of the top defenses in the National Football League and right now they're not statistically in any category. So if this defense wants to get back to playing good football, needs to get back to doing some of the things that are emblematic of one of the top defenses, and that's takeaways. And that's not allowing teams to run for two eight five or two seventy five or whatever it was in that

ball game. So the defense I think has a ways to go. Yet. Uh, Offensively, look, I think they're doing a great job of protecting the football overall. Uh, I mean it's hard to come plain about that. I mean, look this past game, three fumbles by Menshew. That's not okay by your quarterback on a game by game basis, But you're not the one at the end. He's trying to make a play in a desperate situation. I don't

fault him for that. The first one that he had to where I think it was the first one to where the fullback that's on him, totally on him, and then the second one is on Norwell. I mean it's a three step. You'd like to have the quarterback get the ball out on time, but look, on time always doesn't happen. And as an offensive lineman, you've gotta be you gotta be better than that. I mean he got blown up right into the lap of Minshew and Noral's body hits the arm and motion of Menshew. And but no,

let me ask you a question. I know you watched him on the defense a lot whatever and you were saying they was down on turnovers everything. Have you been watching them on fair Have they have been attacking the football? I mean, you know, you know a lot of guys when they when the guys are running the football, you're told to attack the ball. You know, you want to make the tackle, attack the ball, stripped the ball, punch the ball, even dbs when wide receivers are catching the ball.

Nowadays you're seeing a lot of dvs coming in with that punch punch like that, you know, peanuts in practice or is this something that's that's I think I think first and foremost, Look, you gotta populate the football first. And when I say populate the football means you get a lot of guys there at the ball and then first guy slowing them down. Then you got the second and third guy coming in and taking that shot at the ball. They're not getting enough population in football right now.

I mean they're they're getting enough people to football to just get the guy down, and in some cases they're not getting enough guys there. Now, the two long runs against the Carolina Panthers, Uh we're bad, you know what I mean? They were bad? And uh so I have a question about that, like the difference between gaps, staying in your lane, staying in your gap and populating the football? Can you do both at the Oh? Yeah, absolutely, give

an example, give you a perfect example. And we're gonna talk about that eighty four yard run that McCaffrey had in the ball game. Okay, in the gap, Okay, that's Klais's job. That was Klais's gap, and he got out of the gap. Okay, and that's fine. Sometimes guys get out of their gap, they get beat in the gap. Well, the next guy in the next gap, or the next guy in the next gap, for the next guy in the next gap, can can come out of their gap to make a tackle. It's okay. It's not like they say, Okay,

you can only make a tackle if it's in your gap. Yeah. Yeah, they don't tell you that, JP and so on that play. Okay, if clais is out of the gap, well, Miles Jack was in a little bit better position, he could have made the tackle. If Josh Allen were in a little bit better position, he could have made a tackle. Uh maybe marcel Darius could have come from the nose tackle on the other side and come back and made a tackle.

Or better yet, if you're the safety and you're a middle third zone safety, which uh Jared was on that play, that's Jared Wilson make a tackle. But he his eyes, it's his own coverage. He's a middle third player. On the snap of the ball, his eyes are drifting over to the two slot wide receivers in the middle middle third zone. Drop your eyes are You're not worrying about that. You gotta you gotta see the backfield. And then when you do see the backfoot, you realize it's a run.

Come up and get in position and leon they call that position a safety for a reason. And yeah, I mean the word itself is synonymous for what he's supposed to be doing. Safety right. Well, I actually another one, but we we got we got we got Marcelo Darius who plays in one. We got Colliss who plays the three. Both of them demand double teams for the most part, because now you can't block them single handily. So if they if both of these guys demand double teams, doesn't

that free uplot linebackers to make plays. Miles jack on the on the the long too long touchdowns, he went for the he was unblocked on both of them. Now, so I mean that's you can't say, well, boyd, where was he at? Well, he was blocked. We'll know he wasn't he was free. He just misread it because of the misdirection of the play. They had like a reverse action, and they had a backside tight end on a seal block and and it looked like a bootleg or it looked like a reverse or it looked like a like

a counter. So he's flying the on the outside and so he's out of position. Uh. But I mean that's the frustrating part I think about this is a lot of people want to a lot of people fans are saying, well, the coach, the coach, the coach. Well, it's the coach's job to coach the players. Let's not forget that that. So, yes, it is on the coach, but it's also accountability falls on the players to be able to make the play.

And it's not just the player where the where the ball runs through like Lai's campbell, it's all the other players around it as well, including the safety. And I will say this because Leon you bring up a point about Clay's playing three. If we see Clais didn't play the three until this year because they lost Okay a player last year and they were expecting Taven Bryan to step up into that role of playing the three technique. But they're obviously not satisfied with the performance or the

play off Taven Bryannison. Now they're putting Klai's campbell out there, and it also allows them to get quote unquote their best players on the field. But Klais's best position is that strong side in uh So, would this have happened if if you had you know, solid three play and Klais could have stayed at the end and you had good three technique play. You know, I can answer to that because it's all speculative, but I mean that I got to point that out because that's not Klais's position

from the last two years. Let's go to offense quickly here. John d Filippo, Jaguar's offensive coordinator, spoke with the media today. D J sharks off to a fantastic start. At some point, though, you would think you would see a little bit different coverage because of his success. How does he adjust to it? How does the offense coordinator adjust the play calling as well?

Whenever somebody tries to take one of your best players out of the game, that's caused for concern and cause to try to game plan him where that that can be alleviated as much as possible. Okay, But at the same time, I'm confident in in our guys that we can win those one on one matchups if they do want to bracket certain guys, especially on third down. Chart had a huge game last week, of course, yardage, a couple more touchdowns. He has five for the season, now

among the league leaders in receiving yardage. At what point, though,

do you start seeing changes from defenses on Charted? Well, I think the way he's been performing as of the last couple of games, the fact that the coverage is going to be rolled to him is actually respectful because they're saying that this guy is the one that's making the place, especially big plays down the field, and then the ends on because he's so big, he's long, he's physically he attacks the football, he goes up and get it.

So i'm i'm I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of defense are gonna stipe rolling the coverage against against DJ, which open up give you an opportunity for you know, um, Westbrook and Connolly to get a lot of one on one matchup. So if you're a good team, you're a

good defense coordinate, you're seeing high spectacular. This guy has been so far this season, I think he's he continues this way, he could have a Pro Bowl season after you know, after you know, last year, everybody was wondering where he was, and he's having an outstanding year now. But yeah, that the defense is gonna start rolling coverage to to uh DJ, and it gives op the opportunities

to the other receivers that make plays. He is arguably the one of the top three wide receivers in the league right now production wise, and you can't argue that he's catching everything thrown his way. He's controlling his body, he's got great speed, he's got size, he's got everything you want. I think the one thing that the Jaguars are learning about him is that now he's playing the way he is, you need to start targeting him more because he's that good. But also, let's not for yet.

The quarterback play is pretty damn good. I mean, yeah, let's not forget that. I mean, because you know a lot of people want to point the last year and say, well, DJ didn't do this last year. I didn't do that last year. Look, the level of play at the quarterback position wasn't what it was uh this year, or is not what it is this year as compared to last year.

So give some credit to Minshew on that. Because the two touchdowns that he had in Carolina, the one was man coverage and it was Cockroll that was chasing him across the field. And uh, it's a mismatch. And cock Roll's essentially a backup corner who was pressed in a duty because the Carolina Panthers had an injury to one

of their main starters. And I give Cockroll credit. He's a guy leon and actually in training camp this year for the Panthers had a tip fib uh fracture to where his foot was pointing the wrong way and he came back to play this season, which is incredible to be able to do that. But a mismatch and a great throw by Minshew, and then the other one, which was we're drawing it up or we did draw it

up for television last night. It was covered to a great play design because four Nette draws Cockroll into the flat and it's covered two and between the corner and the safety, the short zone defender and the deep zone defender. They made that sweet spot bigger because they forced Cockroll to come up on Leonard four Nett and I thought it was great play design because of the tight split by DJ chart, the the legitimacy of Leonard four Nette as being a wide receiver and uh and Minshew got

whacked in the head. You probably remember that was the penalty that they got the option to take it on the kickoff or on the two point conversion and and Minshew's head was turned sideways on that and so it was kind of an errand throw in DJ outstretched arms makes a great catch. So and then we're not even talking about the two thirty one yards that he had on another drive that ended up with four Nette going over from the one back to back and he's he's

a monster. It's a good sign for this offense. You've got the run game going, you've got the passing game going, and well, we'll see what the defense can do this week against the Saints to try to get that offense a little bit of help. We can come back and delve into that a bit. We'll touch on some of the Saints weapons. Teddy Bridgewater is undefeated with the Saints this season as the backup. He's no Drew Brees. I'm

gonna tell you that, right. We'll talk about Teddy, we'll discuss Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas, how the Jaguars defend them. Coming up.

M it all just claiming kind of going to head me, Threw Brees. Oh no, I'm I'm glad he's not playing right. Yeah, nah, but I mean I have to meet him, that'd be cool.

But um yeah, And he's a great player. And and Teddy Teddy Bridge Rod has been playing great as well, So not much slack there, so you gotta you gotta come out and be ready. Somebody asked the quarterback those Gardner means you the second yesterday. If you're excited that Drew Brees is not playing, he's like, but you heard what he said there, doesn't I'm glad he's not playing.

Of course, he's a Hall of Big player. On the other side, welcome back Jaguars, Happy r JP shadowck lely On seriously, Jeff Logaman the Jags in the Saints game coming up Sunday. Presented by the hand Andy Auto Group. This is obviously a buch different look without Drew Brees out there for this. Let me give you some numbers here real quick. Because Sean Payton took the head job at the same time that they were able to acquire

Drew Brees, which was two thousand and six. This is their fourteen season together and if you look at their numbers since two thousand and six, they've averaged twenty seven point eight points a game. They have also which is only second to New England. They have averaged about four yards a game and forty six and a half percent on third down, which is tops in the league. The Artiges tops in the league as well. That's phenomenal. And uh, look, Drew Brees is an obviously a huge part of that.

Teddy Bridgewater as though is no Drew Brees. But Sean Payton is still Sean Payton. He's still a good football coach. Leon he comes up with a lot of good schemes. Yeah, I mean, um, Teddy Bridge, well, I mean he still has the weapons though, he still has a great offensive line, still has Camaro, can run the ball and you know, listen, has Teddy Bridge board to being Brewed Drew Brees Absolutely not, he had never been Drew Bilee. But but has he

methodically taking that offense down and score points. I mean last week he will have four touchdowns in one game. I mean, he's his quarterback ratings high. He turned the ball over twice, he got six touches downs, He's been sacked seven times, but he's been completed seventy percent of his passes. So he's been doing everything, Uh that Champagne has had asked him to do thus far. So he's wet through into as a starter. So but he's not Drew Brees. So that still that gives us a tremendous

chance against the stay, you can tell. You can tell too that they call the game differently when he's in there, and and rightfully, so it's it's a more controlled passing attack. They obviously try to involve Kamara a ton and they don't throw a ton of deep balls right now, And so I mean that helps. I mean Drew Brees, I think throws about a pretty of a deep ball as anybody, but his completion percentage was high for a reason, and that he did do a lot of short to intermediate passing.

But it's definitely not the same with Teddy Bridgewater. In the other part two is that Teddy doesn't have the pocket acumen or the pocket awareness that Drew Brees has as far as getting rid of the ball. Teddy Bridgewater will take sacks and he's not exactly a great mobile quarterback, so the opportunity of getting some sacks on him will be there. But Leona's right, they got pretty good offensive line. There's three three Pro bowlers up front for the Saints,

and are they legitimate Pro bowlers. I'd say they're pretty good. I'd say they're pretty good. So I like the left tackle struggled a little bit last week, or excuse me, two weeks ago against the Cowboys. From watching the film on him today, Uh, Andrew's pete struggled a little bit against one of the defensive lineman for the Cowboys as well. Larry Warford is a good football player, and I think ram checked the right tackle Lee on It is a

really good football player. Who did they play a couple of weeks ago that he was matched up one on one? Was that J J. Watt? Ja Jas lost to step He still pretty good? Yeah, you're still pretty good. But yeah, you don't just man handle j J. Watt. He must have just he must be losing it. But he did. Man good job. Ram checks the first round pick, the Wisconsin kid, right, Yeah, yeah, he's a Wisconsin guy. So Wisconsin and Wisconsin, you know. Yeah, Well they're known for

their alignment. They are. Indeed, they put a bunch of those guys out. Um, if Jalen Ramsey's not available, the owner says he's gonna play, He's gonna play. But how do you defend Michael Thomas with or without Jalen? Well, I mean with him. You tell you to let Jalen go with him everywhere, and it would be just like playing d hopped. Uh, Hopkins of Houston. I think that that your game plan would be essentially the same. If you don't have Jaalen, then you better have some some help.

And because if you leave Trey Herndon or a J boy on him all alone, you're in trouble. Yeah, they don't get but not only that if you don't give them any help. But didn't you gotta think they got tag in junr. He's no slouse. I mean, this guy's average, no but twelve yards of care. He's definitely up. He poses a deep threat. So who do you put on him?

I think it's pretty good too. He's pretty good. So I mean, as as much as we've been talking about Ramsey, uh, it would be nice to have him on Sunday if if there was a game, did you go, you know what, if you like, let's say you had before the season, you were sitting there going, okay, can we we can have Jalen Ramsey for five games? This would be one? This one? Okay, Houston three to three? Casey right that we get to have him for one other game? Who

were gonna pick? Where's where's we got scheduled? Pull the schedule out here, let's see Coats Colts. I'm not taking it because because you know they got Chargers. No, no, no, yeah, that's that's about it, really Falcons Julio Julio, Yeah, right now, but before the season started, you take them. That's five games right there that these are the five one of this is one of the five. Before the season. If you said give me Jalen Ramsey for five games, this

is one of the five. I'm glad he's gonna play. Yes, it sounds like it. Let's come back and all the owner according to but he's still living on the injury report the first two days of the week. We'll see what the arrest of the week. Holes. Let's come back and get into the Saints defense.

Welcome back to Jack's Happy Hour with your Jaguars digital update. I'm Ashland Sell of an injury update for you. Jalen Ramsey, d J Hayden, Ronnie Harrison, and Josh Oliver all limited

at practice today. An emphasis this week has been fixing the three fumbles garnerments you had last week against the Carolina Panthers, but offensive corner John D. Flippo doesn't want him to focus on it too much. You never want to make the quarterback of robot and there's nobody that was more disappointed that he fumbled the ball three times than then Gardner was. And and so, like I said, I think that that problem will be uh drastically improved

this week. It's still not confirmed if cornerback Jalen Ramsey will play on Monday, but for sure as Aprey Jones wants him on the field, I don't know. I feel like he'll tell us. I mean, I forgot where if he decides. I mean, you want to get a cup of athletes like daily every once in a while. So I feel like if he decides to play, he's gonna be ready. Stay tuned coming up at five o'clock. Head coach Dun Brown joins us for the Dug Marone Show,

celebrating twenty five years of Jaguars football. He's looking for suck down forback Jaguars Happy Hour. J P. Shattrick, Jeff Lagerman, Leon Searcy, the Jags and the Saints.

We got a lot of guys coming in town. Liked plus, I saw Sminky on I heard, I heard the Sminki is on the list. John Djurkovich here go. Your co has been back before, but but it's it's always good to see some of it. Guys. Is there going to be a Bracken site and it's the question. Yeah, I'm gonna remind you busy schedule Daily s Place coming up? Is that? Brown Van October seventeenth, Chicago October eighteenth, Young

Thug Machine John Kelly October nineteenth. Tickets of Daily Splace dot Com on here still going with Boselli slow going to see the machine gun? Uh sudden young machine gun, Kelly machine gun? Right, I was drafting and bo front row basis, We're good. Hey, by the way, I think the Brackens is actually gonna be here because yeah, I heard that all of the top twenty five guys from the Jaguars list that they did on the website that was done by local media voting. I think all twenty

five are gonna be here. So Brac is gonna be here. I think how about that which should be Hey, look, I'm take pictures. It would be a side tiger at the zoo. Right, never comes out of the cage. I actually lashed as last year or the year before. I saw Tony when he was in town, and uh, leon will go kick out of the story. So I'm at the movie theaters two years ago, at the movie theater and me and my son in line. I'm gonna get some popcorn, you know, maybe a little icier or something,

and somebody behind me like bumps into me. And you know, firstly on somebody bumps into you know, you're just like you know, you take a step forward, you like you know, somebody accidentally bumped into so I just kind of ignort and then I get bumped again, and now I'm now I'm starting, you meanly on, I'm starting to get a little irritated. That bot me once. Yeah, no, if it's

a mistake the second time, that's a problem. So uh so I kind of, you know, swallowed my pride a little bit and stuck another step forward, and then all of a sudden, it happened again. I turned around. I was about ready to start to say something, and I'll turn around Tony. Oh he was does he was going, oh my god, you know that. It was awesome to see him, Awesome to see him. We'll see him again. It was like Sunday, that's cool, totally one of the uh he was one of the most gifted Jaguar players.

Let me replay that. He's one of the most gifted professional athletes that I have ever seen. The combination of strength and speed was unparalleled. Oh yeah. When people ask me all the time, le who are the top five defensive ends that you've gone up against? And I say brackets at number two, and they're like brackets. I said, yeah, he gave me a Tony practice that when you got I slightly edged. Bracken's out for the number one spot. Oh really good for you, right, yeah, you're Reggy White, y'all.

I love it. Uh Jaguars offense there, they had five hundred yards of offense last week. I mean that's just I know they've turned the ball over three times and the left guard had a couple of handful of bad plays in the game. All that, I get all that, But they're still moving the ball, they're running the ball, and they need to Gardeners playing great. What can they expect from the Saints defense? Can they continue what they've

been doing on off well? I think they can. I think the most refreshing thing about this offense compared to what it was last year. If this team got down seven points, ten points, four teen points, last year, it was a rap. You you knew it was a rap. You knew that we didn't have enough firepower at the quarterback position or at the skill positions to make it happen.

I look at this team now, will Gardener minshew And when the Carolina Panthers went down to score a seven points I knew we were going to come back and school again. I don't know why. I don't think it's the mainta and everything like that. I just believe this kid has the skill set, in the moxie to throw the ball the right places, find the right reason, find his received the offensive line outside of you know know, we talked about the left guard giving up a couple

of bad they were in the ball. Well, I mean, Lena had a hundred yards running the ball. They protected fairly well. That the turnovers, yes, that that was a factor, especially when you turn the ball over and you give your defense a short field to defend. I mean, that's the that's the that's the worst thing about But Gardner was trying to make a play. You go up against the Saints team right now that they've got three guys on their defense, they have three sacks they get after

uh and there they're good getting after the passer. They've got sixteen sacks um. But I think it's gonna be a clear of advantage for our offense because we're not on the road, we're at home. We have to deal with silent counting all other kind of stuff. So we just if we eliminate the turnovers that we had last week and just do what we've been doing, running the ball, taking the shots with garden men, that you protecting the passer,

being physical upfront. I don't see us, I don't I don't see us having a problem if we just keep doing the things that we've been doing. I met she is pretty good. I think the most important thing what Leon said there is that you feel like you're all He's got a chance with Menshew run in the runt of the show, whereas last year you didn't. And that's that's a one eight um. And I think that that not only gives the team hope, but I think it

also gives the organization hope. I think people are fired up. I mean, heck, look at this, they gotta they gotta minshoe Mania promotion going on this week. Yeah, I mean, when's the last time that there was cause to have something like that with this football team. I can't remember. Yeah, I mean that that's a big deal. And uh and look how I'm excited about him. He's he's fun to watch, he's he he's a I think a natural leader. Guys are rallying around him. He's got what Leon said was moxie,

and that's probably the best way to describe it. He's just got he's got it and it's a big challenge against the Saints because you know, if you slept for the last two years and you wake up and now you wake up and you go, well, you know the Jaguars are playing the Saints. That Saints have a terrible defense, No big deal, we can we can do. Okay, Look, this defense that the Saints have is not what they

had to three years ago. That this is dramatically changed. Uh, it's changed because they've drafted pretty well and they've they've done a good job in free agency. Damario Davis, who is their captain of the defense, was a great acquisition from the Jets, and it's another perfect example of why the Jets continue to lose because they let players like him get away. Kiko Alonso decent player they got from Miami and A. J. Klein was a good free agent

acquisition from the Carolina Panthers. And then across the front, they've got four first round picks. Marcus Davenport, they gave up the farm for a couple of years ago. Uh. Sheldon Rankins who UH a few years ago back in six team was the first round pick and dominant big man coming back from Achilles. And I can tell you watching the film on him, it doesn't look like he's

got any issues from the Achilles tendon. Malcolm Brown, former first round pick of the Patriots, big body in the middle, and then on the other side Cameron Jordan's who has been a good football player for a long time, and then he got two first round corners. So I mean they got a good defense now, good defense much different than a few years ago where it was all about offense with Saints and only all offense. This team can

win a high scoring game. This team can win a low scoring game now with their defense as they showed against the Dallas Cowboys. Not good. That's uh well, it's good for them, not great for teams playing them. I guess. One note there da Mario Davis, same high school as Gardner, meant to the second Brandon High School in Mississippi. And when Gardner was in high school, Demarrio Caman spoke to the team, which is pretty crazy. So people in Brandon are gonna have a treat this week with two of

their own on opposite sides of this game. Another thought about this, the Jaguar was running back Leonard for that has back to back hundred yard plus games. Now he's never had three in a row in his NFL career. Can they run the ball against this group in New Orleans? What do you think, leon? I think they can. I've seen a those from him in the last two weeks, like it is the Broncos and the Panthers, to say that they can. But it won't be easy because in

interior defensive linement is stout. This stout. That means that our sent there and our two guards have got to play outstanding in order to get to push on there and get to the backers and all that kind of stuff. Because that's what you what you could say, what you want to say. I always said that the meeting potatoes of your run game is your interior of your offensive line and their ability to control the one the three

in the middle linebackers. So if we were able to do that like we did against the Broncos and what we did sometimes you know, a couple of times against the Panthers, we've got a shot. I think one thing they need to do for sure this week, unlike last week in Carolina, in the first half against Carolina, they were running a lot of toss, stretch plays and and

zone plays. That's not what does best, and Uh, I thought it was a little bit of a departure from the previous week success that they had against against the Broncos. And they need to allow for Nette to do what he does best downhill, power back, running through people. And in the first half I thought they got him a little side to side too much. And I was kind

of surprised. And what kind I was, You've got two of the fastest linebackers in Carolina that there isn't a National Football League and uh and Keith Lee and Thompson Shaq Thompson, who can both them can run. And so in the first half when they were trying to get to the outside, I was like, I don't I don't get that. That's not what he does best. And those

two linebackers run too well. Uh. And then the later on as the game kind of progressed, they got away from that a little bit and then they started running the ball better. So hopefully this game they come out and get downhill on the Saints right away. All Right, we'll come back. We'll touch on the a f C South, the schedule in the division this week. We'll look around the National Football League as well. Well. Fick Thursday Night Football.

I'll be honest with you, guys. Should be a funnel. Great matchup, great great matchup. And look, I think every time, as a fan or or anybody that is involved with the organization, when when you've got the feeling that you've got a chance every game with the play of your quarterback, how long how long has it been? It's been a minute when many can truly say that, yes, yeah, I think about it. It's been yeah, it's been a while.

I will say two years ago in December, there was that little run that Blake had, you know, it was like, so there was that that was early. But then I'm talking about later in the year. They beat the Seahawks, right, and he's throwing there's a couple of receptions stuff, But there was a two or three game window in there when he was like, okay, playing out of his mind. That's for me. I've only been here for seven seasons. Yeah, it's it's it's but consistently it's when is refreshing, though,

it is refreshing. And another thing that Jaguars have to look at moving forward is that home games will be very important. You gotta win your home games, and if you look at the schedule down the road, the last thing you want to do is be out of the playoffs and look back at that you didn't see the opportunity, especially at home, you know, because if you look at it, I mean two games we really should have won. I mean the Houston game. We should have won the Houston game.

And I mean if and if we didn't turn the ball over three times against Carolina, who knows how that game even with McCaffrey running while we still had the opportunity win that game, which is crazy to think, Yeah, it is crazy. He's a great back, though unbelievable. I mean, uh, I know that, you know the from our end when we talk about it, we always want to talk about what do the Jaguars do wrong and what do they

do to fix it? But what can't be lost in all of that conversation is is that he's a marvelous back and he's he's the best back in league right now. And when you look at him, I mean not only just from a from a running back standpoint, but from a receipt ever standpoint, and you can make the argument that he is the most valuable player in the league right now. But he won't get the war. You know that, right Well, the quarterback driven awar they just passed into

the quarterback every other year. I was talking to uh to Jake Pete's and Jake pets is the running backs coach for Carolina Panthers, and and he was here for a bit, uh And I can't remember what he was coaching when he was here, but he's a nice guy. And um, and we were talking about about Christian McCaffrey. And he was telling me about how they were getting ready to play somebody on a short week. And I want to say it was Tampa that they were getting

ready to play on a short week. And he said that he spends Christian on a week by week basis, he spends more time out of the building taking care of his body then he does in the building. So another and and he said, and he there's no financial boundaries, So in other words, he's spending a ton of money to make sure that his body is right and his body is ready to go on a weekend and week

out basis. And when you when you look at him and he didn't have an ounce of fat on him, And when you watch him in a game, and I remember prior to the game, when I turned the film on, you would watch play one or two or three for him, and compare that to play sixty seven and sixty eight and sixty nine. Because he really came off the field, you couldn't tell that it was the difference between one, two and three or sixty seven eight nine. That's that's

how good of shape. Here, I was watching something on Instagram. It was it was a running back they were doing the podcast and he was talking about Frank Gore. Your friend has been in the league over sixteen some four years, and they said that he used to be a teammate of Frank Gold. This is to your point about McCaffrey. So he used to do a teammate of Frank goals. He said, after the football game, everybody's tied. I want to go home and get some rest and hang out

and stuff like that. He said, Frank Board is in the weight room doing box jumps and squatting five six h pounds to keep his leg. I said, I listened to the podcast, I said, but he said he does that every single game. He said, he box jumps and he does squats, and he does lunges and everything right after the game. He's a he's a machine. And now you now you understand why he's been the least almong sixteen years. He was. He just a clips fifteen thousand

yards eight four career. They let go Shandy McCoy because they got Frank Gore and Buffalo amazing. I mean, Frank Gore, like McCaffrey's on that same row. He's beating Father time now, no doubt about that. Let's take a look at the FC South standings, of course, Well, the order has not changed, the numbers have changed just a little bit after last week Houston, indeed, Jacksonville, Tennessee. It's very early the a f C South games this week. A couple other division

teams have tough road matchups in this week's action. The Occults, though, are off, that's one thing we do know. They'll be back next week. But boy, the Texans get to go to Arrowhead this week with a one o'clock kick off. The Titans get to go to Denver with a kick off.

Two tough road environments for the division teams here ly go. Yeah, I would say that going into Arrowhead would be difficult for the Texas until they put up all those points last week, so they don't seem to be struggling offensively as far as points go. But Arrowhead is going to be difficult. It's gonna be a difficult task. But then

how difficult this is is going to be? Because I think for the most part, you saw that coach game against the Chiefs, that defense let that team down, and the defense, the defensive the Chiefs left them down, and then the offense of the Chiefs, I mean they got exposed a little bit by the coach defense. They play a lot

of man against Patrick Mahomes. A lot of people are not estimating that Patrick Mahomes are getting a lot more of his yards and gets zoned and the man and I think the coach play a lot of man in there, and they put pressure on up front, got into the difficult throws until the ultimately got a victory against him. So Mahomes is hobbling a little bit, angles problems. So

you don't know who knows well. It'll be interesting to see who plays for Kansas City this week because the reality is that Mahomes has not had all of his weapons at hand either. So, but congratulations the Colts. I mean, that's that's one heck of a win. Now, that's a one heck of a win. And Frank Wright, holy cow, the job that he did last year with the Colts and then the job that he's doing this year with the Colts, it's hard to argue that, uh, that he

should not be Coach of the Year. I mean, we're in that conversation right now. And here's the other thing. Deshaun Watson put himself right back in the n VP Talk of the Year no doubt it was past gun. Yes, I mean he he was that good. And here's the crazy part. He did it without Hopkins having a monster game. Fuller had the big game. Crazy interesting somebody else's fantasy, Yeah, exactly. And another about the Coats, that offensive line has got

to be the best in the end. I know you don't give n b m VP awards the offensive lineman, but the left guard Nelson, that's a grown man. That's a grown man. He's good. Astons was playing arguably his best football that he's ever played in his career the left tackle for the Coats. And uh. And the crazy thing is is that they changed their offensive line coach

from last year to this year. But the one thing that's been consistent is is that that left guard who they drafted, Clinton Nelson last year in the first round, he's a beast. But just think about the reason why, I listen, the reason why you draft a guy like him, because you know, before they drafted him, the Coast offensive

line was terrible. But when you draft a dog and he's nasty across the wh a mean dog across the offensive line, he becomes contagious because his play is going to dictate that you play the way I play, or you get called out. So a guy like Nelson as a rookie or his second year in the league, he I'm sure he's demanding the left guard, I mean the left tackle in the center and everybody across the board played at his level or you gotta held you gotta

hold everybody accountable on that line, I think. And it's being dead serious. He is the only offensive lineman in the National Football League that, for me, is worth the price of admission just to watch him. I don't think there's another offensive lineman in the league that I would pay the cost of the ticket just watch because he's big, he's physical, and he finishes. But would you watch anybody else? No, I listened. My eyes were locked on him. When we're

playing Ksey, I was looking at the line. I was just looking at the left guard like, oh, I'm just I'm just you know, squirming and squirmming. Serious, you're talking about two guys that played the game for a long time in the National Football League. In our eyes, when we watch that game, we're watching Quenton Nelson. Seriously, that's how good of a player he is. That's that's amazing, though,

what's for a view a little bit Monday night. Of course, the forty Niners boat raced the Browns if you will. Richard Sherman claimed after the game of Baker Mayfield didn't shake his hand to the coin toss. The video later showed that he did before the coin toss. What in

the world we're talking about? Knows that I was in agreement with Richard Sherman when he started talking about the level of disrespect that Baker Mayfield had, when he started talking about Daniel Jones, and then when he talked when he said something about the lack of a hand chick, I'm like, you know that ain't right. And then I saw the video and I'm going, Richard Sherman's a liar. Richard Sherman is the one who disrespected him in pre game and wanted to walk right past him without shaking

his hand. Here's what I want to stand about, Richard Sherman. I mean, it's a as a as a televised game with cameras around. Did he not think that was going to be recorded? Come on, he was the one to walk You know, you couldn't see you saw the angle I didn't. He looked like Baker had his hand he did, and I thought they may have gave each other a pounding one. But it was like like his handshake was

lack of days. That's to me, that's uh so right now, So anything, Richard Sherman says, I don't believe you ain't buying it. I ain't buying it no more. Leon. Your old team is one in four and they're salty the Steelers, according to the Athletic, Wednesday's practice, featured multiple skirmishes. The defense hit a little bit during a patent practice that wasn't supposed to be full contact. Getting tightened Pittsburgh could be just what the doctor ordered. Yeah, so I can

tell you how the scenario went down. They came back on the Wednesday thinking they were going to have the same schedule as before and they have full gear. Oh how dare they'll have full gear? You, Jeff, we can't do that. You can't do that. What do you think this is? We're professionals? Oh well, hait a minute, you suck you one and four. Guess what it's time to put the pads on. Get back to the fundamentals. Giants, Patriots tonight, who you got quick? Oh? Really? I mean

we had to say that the Giants have. Look poor Daniel Jones. He doesn't have Ingram his tight end. He doesn't have Barkley his tail back. He doesn't have Shepherd as wide receiver. Uh, he doesn't even have anybody. I mean, who's he throwing the ball to. Trouble Um The hoodie is eleven and oh against rookie quarterbacks at home in his career. Bill Belichick back in a moment.
