Jaguars Happy Hour: Thursday, October 31

what's up, logs? Nothing? Have you ever had bangers and mash? What exactly? It's a sausage and mashed potatoes? All right? All right? That the meat potatoes. I'm all about me. You're wrong with that? Yeah, I mean, look at me about it? Look at you, jeez. Here's what we're getting to today on the program. Jack's headed to London tonight. In fact, they'll be there Friday morning for the Texans Jaguars matchup at Wimbley Stadium on Sunday. And this is the start of I mean, this is the most important

month of the season for the Jaguars. Certainly. The a f C South preview for the weekend we'll take a look at that coming up. Let's start with the London trip. Can we start with the World Series? By the way, all of a sudden, you're a baseball fan. Look funny how that works when the Nationals win. I am, I am, seriously, I'm not a Nats fan, but I like baseball. I grew up playing baseball, Love baseball. So what mean you grew up around there? Though? Who's your team? Well? I

really did. I mean I wasn't much of a fan of baseball, like watching baseball. That's Joe Fortunato. But uh, but you know Cal Ripken, the Orioles, Joe right, I mean, I mean and that like the team around. But I can tell you this though. When I was growing up as a kid, I distinctly remember my brother had a Washington Senators baseball car. And uh and I remember as a kid growing up going Washington Senders. Who are they?

Because you know they didn't play, you know when I was growing up, So I was like, I didn't no idea who they were. But am I a Nats fan? No? But I like watching good baseball games. And that's the first baseball game that I watched all year long. Pretty good? That was a good one. Now turn it about the seventh inning. That was a really good game. And uh, now I know you guys want to get back into

a JP. You appreciate this. Tad Dickman grew of pr around here, who is definitely a Nats fan, told me about a tweet he saw, which you know, as a Phillies fan, I'm kind of but I get it. It's hilarious. It said I tried to call Bryce Harper last night but there was no ring. Oh dear, wow, I hate it, but it's pretty funny. It's pretty good. That was pretty good. But congratulations to the Nationals and uh and all the fans and Washington fans of the Nationals, the former Montreal

Expos right, JP. That's correct. But cool game, a very exciting game. And how about that talk about Road Warriors. Every road team won in the World Series, first time ever in World Series history and h and I know this is a Jaguar show, but folks, that's worth mentioning. I think it's it's pretty cool stuff. Well, Thursday through Sunday, Houston is going to have a bad week. That's exactly what That's exactly what I was thinking. You know, their

their quarterback is got kicked in the eye. He wasn't able to do the pregame festivities too, to give them a send off into a victory. That's right. With the World Series. He's supposed to holler playball or something. He was supposed to say that, and and because of the I issue, the football team said we don't think you should do that, and he did not do that. So it's gonna be a tough week for the fans of Houston. I like that, yeah, because he's he's banged up. They

lost the World Series. J J. Watt's done for the year. It's their first trip to London. They'll be without sleep. It's in. The Jags are gonna beat him the the the the mental health hotline in Houston is is ringing off the hook quite a week. But I'd rather be in the World Series and lose it than not be there at all. I guess, uh, I guess you could say that, but it probably doesn't feel like that if you're not today an astro right not today. London trips

seventh time for the Jaguars. There three and three, record dropped the first two with teams that were just so young and an experience that they didn't really have a true chance in those games anyway, you're talking about the Jaguars early on fourteen, Jaguars blown out bad football team. And when you talk about experience of traveling, back then, it didn't matter whether you had experience or not because you didn't have a very good football team. Correct. Good

football teams travel travel well. And now that this team has gotten better roster wise and better as a team, they've been traveling better. And uh and it's been an amazing progression through now which will be seven years of this game, and that we've seen it. When we first went there, we hardly saw any Jaguars jersey whatsoever. All you saw was a multitude of other jerseys. Now you're seeing Jaguar jerseys and that's the cool thing. The evolution

of this game has been nothing short of amazing. And uh and I look forward to it every year. Jack's won three in a row and then lost last year against the Eagles. And the environments, just as you said that the jerseys are everywhere, what what would you say? I mean the positives of this trip for the Jags that they know what's going on now, they know the routine of it, the negatives are that is a strenuous travel trip still, even with the sleep and the rest

and all that and trying to figure that out. It's a quick turnaround, but um, it's gonna be on the schedule for the foreseeable future. I mean, they're not gonna stop playing in London. No. I First of all, this is a huge advantage for the Jaguars football team having traveled to London multiple times. The Houston Texans this is their first time over to London. And yes, it matters that you've been there and haven't been there and looked last year was a football team kind of in disarray

that went over to London. They had the issues on Friday night. There's a lot of bad things happening over there and with the football team overall in and I think this is a much different team. I think this is a team that's very excited, that has an opportunity to get right back in the hunt of a division race.

If you get this win all of a sudden, then you're going to the bye week and you're not gonna lose during the bye week, and then all of a sudden, you go on the road to play a couple of division opponents in Indianapolis and then to the Tennessee Titans, and all of a sudden, you could come out of the next month and coming back to t I a

bank as a division leader. I mean, holy cow. And uh look, I know that there's a lot of people wanting to talk about what's gonna happen with the quarterback, But to me, who knows what's gonna happen in the quarterback? If Gardner Minshew all of a sudden gets hot, hey, keep on rolling. Uh. If Nick falls has been amazing in practice and it's going to give you a lift on in certain areas that Gardner miss you couldn't hit Nick falls into the end of the game, let's roll

with him, you know, six exciting times. That's part of this huge month. As you mentioned all the division games and everything. The quarterback battle goes into that as well. But the whole point about this month, though, Logs, is if you don't get through this month, December isn't gonna matter. Right, you get through this month, November is what it's all about.

The flip side of that, you know, if you if you don't go to London and take care of business and then you're on the road a couple division games, then all of a sudden you could be returning back home to t I Bank with a lot of games that are that are meaningless and one in four in the division or whatever. This is imperative, and I think this is uh, this is a great opportunity for a lot of reasons this week really and uh, we do a we contribute to a column every week. That is

what John Osher puts out on Jaguars dot Com. Oh him, yes, I heard of him. Yeah, he's famous. He's all over the internet famous And uh, it's what the experts think. And and I just got done writing. I mean, look, Jaguars have a huge advantage traveling to London multiple times, and this is first trip for the Houston Texans. The Texans defense is they've got issues. J. G. Watt is

now an injury reserve. He was their huge playmaker. They already traded Jadavian Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks before the season he got going, which he was their most dynamic playmaker on their on that football team the last couple of years, even J. J. Watt being on the roster,

and now they've got injuries in the secondary. So this is a great opportunity to take advantage of a Texans defense that is only a small percentage of what it used to be in a Texans offense that has a great m VP candidate quarterback into Shaun Watson, but he's like Superman. He's gotten not a lot of help around him. And Hopkins is a great wide receiver. Don't don't get me wrong. The running game has been pretty solid for

the Houston Texans. The offensive line for the Houston Texans, which has been an issue over the last a couple of years, still isn't It is an issue for this football team and the Jaguars. Their strength defensively is up front. And you're coming off a game where he had eight sacks. Three guys had multi sacked games. Hey, time to time to make some hay against the Houston Texans offensive linement.

You gotta get a lead early to really help that out, though, right if you can get if you can jump on them and get a two score leader, so you know early in this game, then you can really get that passage rolling. I don't know if you necessarily need to have a two score lead, get it an advantage. Yeah, you need to keep the game close and if you have an advantage, yeah, that works to your advantage. So and then, uh, then Minshew is able to take advantage of it. You know. Look, uh, I think he's uh,

he's a marvels player. He's arguably coming off his best game yet as a pro. I thought so, I thought that his pretense last week was was tremendous. I thought he showed poison the pocket. He managed the game, He protected the ball with the exception of one time of a blind side sack, extended the play and found d J. Chark on a great play. Uh an impromptu played to Conley for seventy yards and a touchdown, which was his

longest touchdown throw and Conley's longest catch ever. I mean, that's all good stuff and uh in minshew Mania just got bigger from that game. In fact, today was at my daughter's school and they have the annual Halloween parade. Guess which was the most prevalent Halloween costume in the parade? Pretty easy, guests, It was Gardner Minshew. There were seven Gardner Minshew's in the parade. Okay, and uh the total of NFL other players. Of other NFL players there was two.

Patrick Mahomes was one. Leonard Fournette was the other, and I was shocked because in years past Tom Prady has been pretty big notre not This finally got some parents that are raising their kids right at that school. I'm curious to see how many are like that in London. If it's really taken off over they can I can

tell you JP. I actually pose that question earlier this week on on one of our other radio shows and immediately got responses back on Twitter from fans over in the UK, and they were sending me pictures of their bandanas and their mustaches. Then said Minshu Mania is alive and well in the UK. Looking forward to seeing you when you get here. It's over there too, you know. And that's uh, that's gonna make the decision very exciting coming up. If he continues to play and play well.

Is there is there another truth? Is there a guy that competing for offensive Rookie of the Year if he keeps this pace? I don't think so. No, not naming another there's in the National Football League just playing a high level on the offensive side. Like I don't think here's the thing. But kudos to Dave Caldwell. I mean, think about it, you have the NFL's best pass rusher and Josh Allen Okay, he's what seven sacks now leading the NFL rookies, and then ranking wise, he is now

seventh in the National Football League. Both are the same, yes and uh. And then you have the best rookie quarterback playing in the league right now. Six round pick. Yes, it's amazing, right Kyler Murray what he let me? Let me check? Oh yeah, he was first overall. And don't forget your your second round pick. Right tackles playing pretty well, he's the best. He's the the best. I think he's the best offensive lineman playing in the league right now.

He's gone against Cameron Jordan's j J. Watt, I mean, you name it. He's played against them all and I'm just telling you he is. He is gonna be a perennial Pro Bowl right tackle. It's all from this draft class. Amazing. So now we've seen draft classes like this before. I mean, this is on the way to being one of the

greats in Jaguars history. Obviously you could go back to the Jalen Miles unique draft, but with all the Jalen stuff lately, that might tone that draft because because that's you still are adding to that draft with future picks. You've got two first round picks coming up in the fourth round pick that are gonna make that draft even better. Uh yeah, so they're right there though, I mean pretty close. Yeah,

they're very They're very close. And obviously what you do with those draft picks are gonna turn which one is going to be better. But I mean that's that's the kind of drafting that you need you're in and year out. If you can do that consistently, you're gonna be able to build a nucleus of players that can you can be a consistent winner, which is what everybody in the league strives for. Consistent winning.

Shadrick, Jeff Laghaman Ashland. Salvon will be in shortly. Brian Sexton is in now. Hi. How are you? How are you good? I got a teel shirt. It's not the same teal shirt. I hope you guys like the close enough? Help you like diversity? Good enough? Oh? Good? London coming up? Man, I'm good. I'm ready to go.

I've got this thing down. You you probably do too. It's harder than you because you can't get comfortable in that regular seat, although you have the bullcat so you can stretch it. Tell you it's a ball hid without a wall. I have to climb over him, and that he's snoring in the middle the night. I got to do the bathroom left leg, right leg. Don't step on him, wake him up. The first year, I'll never forget when

we were going to London. We get on this plane which is a huge virgin at Lanting, longest plane in the world. It's a monster. Yeah, it's an a three forty dash six hundred, which it's uh how many passengers total? Yeah, it's a lot. Okay, So we get on the plane, and then they have name tags and all the seats with a little adhesive, little sticker things, you know. And so we're walking to the back, you know, going past

all the lay flats, which two players get. And then also now you get out of the lay flats, then you come back to the regular seating, and then there's coaching and then staff and then in the back, you know, get back to we're in the back, you know, we guests, cheerleaders, the broad factors where the broadcasters are at. Okay, so walked back to the back and there's two name tags. And then because you know the way it's set up,

remember correct me if I'm wrong. In the middle aisle or middle row, you have like five five chairs, and then you have a row on each side of the five, and then on the outside you have two seats by the windows, by the windows. So these two seats in the ball kid over here by the window, there's Basely on one seat and there's log him in on the other side. And I said, please, somebody tell me this

is a joke. He'll fix this now, right, and then BASSELLI ended up finding a seat, stealing a seat somewhere up. Of course, we made it work. Yeah, but I was I was seriously going, wait a minute, eight or nine hours, elbow to elbow with Tony Basselli, who snores like a bear, smells terrible and dune brushes teeth. No thanks, I have a story too. I sat next to him across the aisle and the worst part about that wasn't the snoring. It was when the lady would come by with a

tray of cookies. He would reach and take hot. He would take the whole thing, like, well, hold on a second, I mean there's other people here. There are you have to wait for her to go back to the oven to get it. He doesn't care. You didn't anywhere near him when the food came by, because you were getting any of the time. You could smell it, you could see it, you couldn't taste. But a good trip, Yeah,

this is this is a good trip. And I think one really I thought last year I was like, Holy cow, was the the change of the area around Wembley itself. They keep building and construction can't and you see what they're trying to do here, right, put people around live around Wembley Stadium. There's shops, there's restaurants and there's people

for every show. You know, they've got the arena there where there's always a concert, and the stadium where there's always an event, there's a soccer match or something going on there. But what they've done is they've built in their population and that's that's what they're trying to do here, is to put people around. They'll go to shows at the Daili's place and the live and eat at the restaurants and shop in the shops and and the minute I saw the means last year, I was stunned, like

you whoa where did this all come from? And then I realized the master plan for Jacksonville is to try to build that same. You'll probably be able to see the stadium. It's not quite that, but you're gonna have buildings everywhere, which means people in stores and revenue. Yeah, it's it's it's pretty cool. Shocker. And then uh and heck even last year and Brian, you know, there's a little workout room and everybody, I'm a workout fiend, and so it's this hotel. We stat literally where the workout

rooms out. You're looking at Wembley and there was literally a pathway and then a small green hill and then the road that goes around when where you're got you they're building on this little square inches of grass. I mean they're literally bulldozing that to building. I'm going to wait, there's no there's no room there to build anything, but

they're gonna build something. You know here in Florida that we make such a big deal about water drainage obviously because there's nowhere for it to sink into, so we have retention ponds everywhere. I don't know what they're doing there because there is no grass, there's nowhere for the water to go. It is all asphalt, it's all as

It's pretty amazing. And the other thing I think that has really, I mean flabbergasted me was and it's from the very beginning, is that you have a game that's eight and before the game, okay, you're sitting there and you're looking out over the area of Wembley and you're like, ah, there's some people hanging out. You know, it's not tailgating because there's no parking. Okay, and you've seen some people and they're like, where all these people gonna come from?

I mean thousand plus? Where they at the tube? And then all of a sudden game they rolls around and wham, here they are. And then after the game, by the time we go to the buses, you're going tumbleweed rolling by and move them in, they move them out of You did NFL Europe, did you do a game in Barcelona? So they had Camp New which is where i FC Barcelona plays, and they had little Mini a study where the Dragons played, and I was doing a Dragons game one day and then all of a sudden boom, everybody

left and I said, where did everybody? Good? People just filed into Camp New for the game. There's no tailgating, there's no events. People in mass transportation get where they need to go. And if you ride the tube on a game day Wembley, you see people. It's a kaleidoscope. There are people in every jersey, every uniform. The first year we played there, we remember we went back downtown after the game in State at Grosvenor House, and my wife made the trip and we were going back and

we met somebody. We walked the cars, we met somebody in every NFL shirt, hat, uniform. It was amazing, which is what is the big draw to London. The NFL has a built in audience of people that love football. And uh, not only do you have which of which back then it was every jersey but a Jaguars in the first year. Now it's become the Jaguar jerseys are

very prevalent, and the main jerseys obviously. And and I think the other cool thing about it is when you get a chance to go and do these different fan events, which we've been able to do, we have all been able to do over the years, is that when you go to these events, you're meeting people from every country that there is in Europe, and they're all flying because this is their opportunity to watch an NFL game or to watch their team, which is now the Jaguars. It's

just cool. Find the London from the continent is like flying to Atlanta from anywhere east of the Mississippi easy. So everybody gets in and out of their um. You know what I think is And have you found Tisa in Carnaby Square? It's little tap this place roasted meat, red wine. I can't believe you haven' found o Carneby Square. I'll be there all day Saturday. In fact, I have told people, if you know people go hey, you gonna how can we run into you. I'll be at Tejisa

in Carnaby Square, which is by the way. It's like diagon Alley. If you haven't been, it's like Diagon Alley. It's right off Oxford. It's like one street back from Piccadilly and Oxford. Um, and you think you're walking through a Harry Potter movie. It is cool as can be, great stores and restaurants. But there's a little place called the Hassa which I just can't believe him found. It is the best roasted meat and the best wine and

the best grilled flatbread. You're gonna love it. I'll that sounds like, but I guess the point is is now we've been there for a couple of years and so going back and they know in fact, so I sent him an email like, oh, yeah, we got your tables,

so yeah, do we need a booking? I can call now on the show, Yeah, I got you kind of know that you've been there and you're starting to become a little bit more comfortable with being there when you start to go to your regular places like Saturday night Joe and I and Frank Frangie and some other guys that are hanging around in the hotel and anybody wants to go. Right close to our hotel is this little mall and they have a like an Asian place that has these dumplings, and so we all go there and

we we literally just get a ton of dumplings. I think we probably ordered like forty different orders of different kinds of Oh yeah, he's there, and uh, he was there last year. I think he was there last year. And then after that, then we walk over to the milkshake place. It will make your own milkshake bar where you don't make it, but you tell him what you

want in at. So yeah, I mean when you start to get to that point you feel comfortable, you know, then it and the Texans won't feel that comfortable there. And that's exactly what where I was going with it. I mean, look, they're staying like we've got out town too, and then here they are coming in there, going, holy cow, where are they staying at Penny Hill? No, they're like well out east somewhere, way out of east somewhere. So I don't know. Well, hopefully they're not too far away

that they want to go and have a party. Friday night in London name of the place for the Jaguars. Need to put flyers into Texas players rooms where they're going to be some recommendations for you guys. Um So recent history in this series Texans Jaguars, really the last

decade has been all Texans. They've won fifteen of the last nineteen meetings against the jack But you always thinking about that this morning when I was standing in the shower, and the thing that stood out to me was but not since seventeen, Right there there two and three against them in the last five games since Doug Moron took over it. And I'm one of those guys who loves history and and and can go back in time and give you records and matchups, but none of that matters.

What matters is is that in seventeen they played really well against them, and then in eighteen not so well, and then this year their first game, they had a chance at the end to win rookie quarterback with a rookie quarterback making us first start. Now you and I can debate, and I don't think we have. I thought that Jalen Ramsey's performance again not on the sideline, but against uh DeAndre Hopkins was if not the best one of the best three or four defensive performances by an

individual defender in Jack's history. And I can go back to some of those great Tony Brackens games in Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah, and gave them a chance. But the one thing that I remember about that game, Jalen dropped an interception. I was standing right there, would run by me and there was no one that would have stopped. So if you make that play, then I would agree with you, right, it would have been the best. It would have been

the best. But I guess my point my question to you is they how do you how do you how do you handle DeAndre Hopkins? I mean, you don't have a guy like Ramsey that you can put out there for this snaps No, And I think a lot of people think, Okay, well, a J boy is still a number one numb one guy, and and and he's a he's a good player, don't get me wrong. He's a really good player. And can you put him on Hopkins one on one like he did Jaellen? By the way, it was tough for Jalen. He was working at the

sideline sucking win. Late in the game, Hopkins wears you out. Oh he's a great player, so you can't you can't do that. There there's always there's always two modes of thought when you're facing a great wide receiver. As far as game planning wise, how do you take out a great wide receiver. Well, the first thought is, Okay, we're gonna take our best player and we're gonna put our best player on him. Easy, DeAndre Hopkins, get your popcorn ready,

yours pattents. The other thought to that is is that you take your best cornerback and you put it on their second best wide receiver, and then you put two guys on their best guy. And I think we're gonna see a combination of the two working against DeAndre Hopkins for this game. And I think that because you're talking about a legitimate NFL m v P candidate and DeShawn Watson, you've got to mix it up on him, right, You've got to mix it up on him. There's no Will Fuller,

which he made down the field. He made some places down the field last time. People have forgotten. They're talking about no J. J. Watts Gibson. But Will Fuller will a great player, and I don't think they're gonna have him. No so and is Kenny Still's a legitimate guy and he's banged up to I think that he hasn't done anything and he's a he's a good player. He's a good player. He's not a great player. And then then then the great players are the ones that concern you.

So I think Todd wash will have a lot of a lot of creative ways to approach this game. The last time these two teams played, DeAndre Hopkins was targeted. I want to say eleven times. Uh, Kenny Stills and Will Fuller, we're targeted seven combined. I mean that just tells you how they lean in that direction even when the good players are healthy. This week, I mean, they gotta go to him. Although the tight end fells a bunch of balls last week and then the other one

had Andre Carter had a big at last week. And I think the one mystery of all of this, uh so far has been Kiki Qt. Where's he been at for the Texans? He really hasn't. You're not running a jet sweep. I haven't seen any And here's the reality. DeShawn Watson is gonna He's gonna stare down Hopkins. He

doesn't care and they don't care. And that's this guy, and he's gonna hold on the ball and give you opportunities to bring him down if you're rushing the past or well and the Texans offensive line is suspect I don't do enough shows with him? Can I ask one more question? Josh Allen? Awesome? Um as a person too? I mean I did. He's the whole, He's the whole PA arguably the best rookie that I've ever seen. I

came back from next ever seen real for real. I've been in this league for thirty thirty thirty years, and I think he's one of the He's arguably the best rookie I've ever been around as a player, as broadcaster. And when I say the best, what I mean by the best combination of the quality of the person, which is first rate, which is first the quality of the player, uh and the quality of teammates. And then you see how he is around his team, and I'm just telling

you he's one of the best. My son the best. My fifteen year old son was in here with me yesterday afternoon and Josh was in here doing Jack's Jam with you. He walked in afterwards because he saw my son in there, and he was wearing a tie because he goes to Bishop Kenny and he wanted to ask him, did you tie that yourself? Who taught you how to tie a tie? My grandfather? I mean he just announced, of course, my son's like this, right. So that's the

kind of person he is. The thing that amazes me is that he seems to have a wide variety of things that he can do on the field. And all I keep hearing is that doesn't know anything yet. So you tell me how much this better will he get in year two, three and four? Are you as Are you as amazed as Doug Maron appears to be? Oh yeah, okay, yeah, Well, I think what has impressed me the most by him because he has it all. He has the physical gifts, he has the want to, the desire, the smarts, he's

got all of that. But what I think really has impressed me that is just something that you just don't find even in special athletes, is the stamina. The stamina to finish place, the stamina to be as good in the fourth quarter as he is in the first quarter. That's what makes him special. And and you know how like they've done studies on your your you like to bike and all that kind of stuff. And they've done studies on the bikers that do the Tour de France

and all that kind of thing. And and then that's why blood doping became such a prevalent deal and all that, because the desire to increase the stamina max right, the ability for your body to process the Some people just have that ability better than others. Josh Allen's got it. I'm just telling you he's got that ability. And uh, he doesn't have pass rush moves yet, he's just pass rushing as an athlete. He hasn't seen schemes enough to where he can say, Okay, okay, I know what they're

gonna run here because of the formation, et cetera. When he gets all of that, look out, well he's right now, believe it or not. On track for the record the rookie record single season NFL rookie with the NFL, which is fourteen and a half. Yeah, he's gonna make it here, I mean, which is Javon Curse fourteen and a half and ninety nine. We saw that, Um the freak. Yeah, he is a freak in his own right. And I was thinking this the other day or this morning as well.

You know, we we've seen some great running backs here. You went from James Stewart to Fred Taylor to Morrise Jones Drew to learn it for net. We've got a hell of runner defensive ends to Ryan, I mean you and Brack oh yeah, and Reggie and Reggie. But I'm talking about person I'm talking about personalities to you know, Reggie Hayward. Reggie Hayward. Now you've got Calais, Josh and Unique.

Who are three guys that I enjoy. If you put those guys around the table at TJISA on on Saturday afternoon, boy, it would be a fun conference and very all three of them are very different personality, but they're all great personalities. I love it. Ya got the edge to Josh kind of one, rookie Clays, the veteran mayor. You know, it's pretty cool to be around those three guys. Yeah, well you know what I'm going I can remember some conversations around a bottle of wine with you two so in

the day. Yeah, that's not them for We'll see you in London. Thanks for having me on.

It also goes back to little things and how bad do we want to win and knowing that this is must win, a must win game for us. Leonard for that, calling it a must win this week and Wembley, Welcome back, Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shattered, Jeff Lagerman, Ashland Sullivan, Hello, gentlemen,

not used to this corner whole world over here. I'll just I'll get used to it. Give me a few minutes. Must win from Leonard for that, and you know we're all we're in the locker room yesterday kind of getting the vibe of this game at Wembley. It's a lot of questions about the trip and all that, but big division game, Ashland, and against the team that's already got you. If you get behind oh and two against these guys and then you got the road division games coming up.

It feels like a game they have to have and they know that too. Yeah. I mean, if you were not to get this win this week, everything has to work out perfectly in your favor the second half the season. We all know it doesn't work like that. And it was must wins last week against the Bengals. Week before that, they got it done. Now I think, I'm sorry, but the Jets in the Bengals, sorry, I'm all over the place,

but two must win games, they got it done. This is even more so it must win And this is a This is a big game because in my mind, because the last two games you should have won, right, this is a game that Okay, you don't look at it and go, okay, this is a gimme that should be This should be a w This is a challenging game and uh and I think this is the kind that you need to get if you're gonna be division champ.

And obviously because of the division game, but this is the level of competition that you need to start taking your game up to. I like it. Um, can they run the ball this week? If they have to go against it's a great question. And I think the Texans are gonna miss j J. Watt because he has a very very good player against the run. But DJ Reader or Angela bl Accent, Carlos Watkins, Brandon Dunne, they're they're pretty good. I think what the Texans are in a

little bit of a little bit of a pickle. Though. They have a guy by the name of Charles o'menna who who is JJ's replacement. And I watched the film of him against the Raiders last week when j J went out. He goes in and he's got a knee brace on his left leg and he doesn't even look like that he can play well enough to protect himself. So I don't know what they're gonna do. And and I'm literally I'm tweaking. This is my board for the game day broadcast, and every we all we all seen

it before. And so the Texans have made some roster change. They have like twelve defensive backs now on the roster, and I'm looking at them on film going they need to get defensive lineman at because the guy that that's expected to take over for j. J. Watt, he's not ready to go. And we're gonna play a corner defensive

line doesn't work that way. It was interesting we were talking to the Texans guests this week and he was saying, um, how J J. Watt hasn't really gotten the stats and everything in the sacks to show how sacks before he got hurt, right with a dominant player he has been. He's saying how great he's playing against the run and how that's the biggest thing that's going to hurt them. You disagree. I think he's pretty good against the run.

But J J. Watt watching the film on him this year, he has taken a huge step back, a huge step. I mean we're talking about a three time defensive m v P. I mean, so the expectations that we have for j J are are way up here. Is he even close to being up here this year? Prior to the injury, the torn Peck told he's you know, he's still still one of the better players in the league. But the the Texans are gonna miss him tremendously. But what the Texans have missed even more or will miss

even more, is Clowney. Clowney was their most disruptive player on defense over the last couple of years. He gave them a lot of flexibility. They lined him up at multiple positions. He was an offensive coordinator's nightmare J. J. Watt. For the last two years, he has not been that Clowney was all when when he was finally healthy because he was banged up a lot early in his career and he's finally health. The last two years, it was about Clowney when you were putting a game plan. Again,

I agree with that. We heard from Leonard at the start there. Um. The red zone and goal to goo issues have been an issue now for this team a lot of the years. Certainly the red zone. We've seen the goal of ghost stuff and you saw a little bit of frustration from Leonard after that toss to the right last week at a lot. In fact, his numbers inside the five this year four carries for minus six yards.

He does have a touchdown. Uh. It's got to be a little frustrating for him because when they drafted him, Tom Coughlin told him we're gonna You're gonna get in the end zone. You know, he hasn't done that much this year one time, but he seems like and we've talked about this on a bunch of different shows. Actually you've you went to New Orleans with him. He seems like a different mindset guy that he can kind of fight through some of that adversity and maybe the second

half of the season power through. Yeah, And I mean, I don't blame him because he isn't running back. He wants to score touchdowns. He's great blocking and all of that, but he's running back. He wants to score touchdown. So I don't blame the frustration. I think it's perfectly fine if he gets frustrated with that. I don't think we should expect really anything else. I think he's definitely made a turn in the right direction. We've seen positive movement.

But if he wasn't getting frustrated, I think I'd be a little skeptical. He's a competitor. He wants to score touches. I don't see anything wrong with it. There is a way to be frustrated and not be a jerk about it too, which we've seen others go over the line around here at times. Yeah you think you know, Hey, look I'm not Matt Leonard Fournette for his reaction after that toss play at six Inchly, what was I doing in the booth running straight ahead at six inches? Come on,

and what are you doing? If there was a lot of that on the sidelines, what are you doing? Didn't do that, I would have been I would have been hot at him, you know, I mean you're kidding me. In general, though, do they get better in the situations goal to go man offensive lineman gott to do a better job blocking. And I think you need to be more creative as an offensive coordinate. And when I say more creative, more creative doesn't mean you run a toss

from the sixth inch line. There's some other goal line run plays that are that are very well designed, and I think that they will incorporate some of them. But but I do know one thing. You've got it when you have a big back. And I'm gonna go back to two goal line plays because one of them was

in Cincinnati when you didn't make it. You turned it over on downs at the one when you did this quick shift and then you cheated Leonard Fournette up closer to the quarterback and then you hand it off to him going straight ahead like he's in a full back position, and it gives him no ability to go anywhere but straight ahead and straight ahead two ways, either powering through

or up and over at the tongue. Look, I mean, look, I'm not saying that Leonard Fournette is a great back at reading holes because he's a power back, but you've got to give him a little bit of lead way to go here here or here, and then also a little bit more creative instead of just we're gonna go straight ahead and pound your head against the wall. You know, but that doesn't mean you throw the toss, you know. So I think they can be better and I think

they will be better. Yeah, there's some football left. You didn't like the toss? No, whatever reason is why the red zone efficiency is down those two plays. You don't run stuff like that. It's not good. So Shelynton, you've been to Ashlyn. I'm sorry, I call you my office. But how many London trips is this for you? This is the second second? Okay? What did you what was What is your favorite part of the trip itself? I really didn't know what to expect going into it last year.

I was told it's cold. I've never seen London before. I think the biggest thing I took away was the Jaguar fan base there. I mean when We rolled up to practice Friday, and these stands were full of Jaguars fans that watch our stuff all the time. And I had no idea that exists in London. I mean more so than even here in Jacksonville. People were referencing things we talked about on shows. It was it was so cool to see how in touch they were so far way.

It's amazing that they really are. The fans over there are there watching us right now. I mean, they're watching things that we do, and it's, uh, it's it's pretty cool. And I wanted to go back to Leonard Fournette just just for a minute, because in that game last week, and he had the big sixty six yard run and it was a great job blocking and Leonard hits it perfectly, and after that he was pretty much held in control.

And but the one thing I think that I've got to mention that he was so good at his past protection in that game was unbelievable. The one play was the third name and Minshew scrambles it and then converts

the first down. Four Net's the one that picks up the blitzing linebacker and the linebackers coming with some bad intentions and and Leonard shows up with even worse intentions and meets Cashman the linebacker and smacks him in the mouth and smacks him in him out three times and allows Minshew to Scraham will get the first down the long play to Conley for seven yards and a touchdown. Bournett is on the right side of Minshew and been

trying to paint this picture for people. Four nets on the right side of Minshew, and they're running basically a fake thirty nine whis thirty nine is the three is the running back and the nine is the nine hole all the way out to the left side. So Minshe's gonna fake this handoff underneath to four net going that way. So Fournett has to execute this fake hand off. Well, there's a blitzing defensive back coming off the outside, which is Jamal Adams. Four NET sees that he's coming and

knows that they don't have a blocker for him. So it's not like in my playbook. Okay, Lennon Fournette says, okay, when we run fake thirty nine pass that I run the fake no matter what. And well, if there's a blitzer coming on backside, I go ahead and I peel off and I block him. That's not in the playbook. He does this on his own to stay in and

to protect and locks Jamal Adams. Oh and by the way, it allows Minshew to extend the play and then all of a sudden find Conney for seven yards and a touchdown. The small things that for Net is doing this year that he had even not even an eight leing of trying to do in past years is simply amazing to me. Past protection, certainly in the receiving game you've seen that too, and the receiver last week. But a lot of it goes unnoticed, especially when fans are looking at his lack

of touchdown. Okay, I was one of his biggest critics last year, and he deserved every bit of it. And and look, when you're doing bad, i'm gonna say you're doing bad. When you're doing good, I'm gonna be the first one to tell you you're doing good and say you're doing good. And he is. He has been awesome this year. As much of a thrill as it is, as we were talking earlier with Brian Sexton about Josh Allen, as much as a thrill as it is to be

around Josh Allen, and to watch him. It's might might even be a bigger thrill watching the transformation of Leonard Fournette from last year to this year. But nothing short of them made. All right, Ashley, We'll see you on the plane. I'll buy a pint Saturday and we'll see it wimbley on Sunday. I'll hold you to that Sullivan record. Jaguars Reporter with us back with more in a moment.

Welcome back, j P. Shadrick, Jeff Lockman Jaguars Happy Our final moments before the team had so London The Duck Moron Show coming up in just a few minutes.

The Jags headed over for the seventh consecutive season to play this game. It's an ANFC South matchup, of course, this year. The Jacks played the Colts a couple of years ago in the a f C South. They'll play the Texans this time around. The standings well, the Colts lead away in the a f C South currently Texans, second, Jacks third, Tennessee at the bottom. It's the only division in footballs where every team is five hundred or better? Right now, then, does does that make this division better

than anybody else? No? The NFC West, I think has better one to three teams. You know, forty Niners, Seahawks, the Rams, the Cardinals, aren't you know, they're hanging in there. Yeah, they're they're pretty good. You know, that's pretty good division as well, if they're not first there. The NFC South is a close second to that. I think, well, I think I think the the a f C South. The one thing that, uh, that is happening this year is

the quarterback play has elevated. Think about it, uh, Kobe Bursett. Many people thought that the quarterback play in Indianapolis was going to go down, and Jacoby proct is doing a great job right. Deshaun Watson's playing at an m v P level. The Jaguars have a rookie who is created

a mania across the world that is pretty incredible. And then the Titans have gotten better quarterback back play recently because they've taken a recycled quarterback and benched another one and Tanny Hill is doing a pretty good job and Mariota uh was on a short lease all all season for for the most part, and so they've gotten better quarterback play in Tennessee. So that's a big reason as

to why these teams are all at five better. The games this week in the ANFC South, of course, the Texans and Jaguars coming up at Wimbley this Sunday, five and three Texans, four and four Jags. That's the nine a m. Eastern times start. That's two thirty in London. Titans are at the Panthers this week in Charlotte one o'clock kickoff time. The Colts and the Steelers one o'clock at hines Field, Pittsburgh. So here's the look at the

a s C South schedule this week. Yeah, the one good thing about that is that both the Titans and the Colts are on the road and uh And look, the Panthers got hammered last week by the forty Niners. They're gonna be looking to change the script a little bit. The Pittsburgh Steelers got by the Miami Dolphins. Um, I don't know what to make of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I

really don't. They've got They've got some talent on defense, but as a football team, they're just not They're not performing to the level that they should, mainly because the quarterback play is not where it needs to be. And uh, once the Jaguars get Nick Foles back, I'd be calling the Pittsburgh Steelers up saying, hey, you want your quarterback back, give us our draft pickback. We'll give you your quarterback back. Josh Staltons, Oh yeah, right yeah. But trade deadlines done,

pass pass. That's why I've been a big proponent of the trade deadline needs to be week twelve. Move it back a little bit, make it interesting. Absolutely, why not? Why not? I'm with you? Or can't you maybe could you like nullify the trade instead of where it's not really wouldn't be a trade. You can just say, well, you know that trade that we did before, we're gonna nullify it, so it wouldn't officially be a trade. I like what you're thinking, but that would be a little different.

I'm just trying to make it happen a little bit. The remaining schedule for the Jaguars, as we've mentioned throughout, it's this month, the November games, three games in four weeks, including a bye all in the division, all away from Jacksonville, the London game this week, the bye next week, and then on the road at the Colts, at the Titans. If you can manage through that, then you might be at the top of the division first of all, and

then you have three home games in December. Can you imagine coming back to t I a bank if you win the next three games and you're them back at home to play an in state rival with with maybe a division lead. I mean, that would be incredible. It would be fantastic, you know. And what an environment December one, I guess with some great games. I mean the Raiders I think is gonna be a good football game. Getting the Colts at home to to cut the season off

would be big. The Raiders on the road and Chargers, I think it's gonna be interesting. They fired their offensive coordinator, Ken Wizzen Hunter is now out, and they've let the quarterback coach take over as the play caller with the LH Chargers. And I can't believe I actually got right LH Charger finally like a year after they moved. It's only done with like three years later later. I always

did that still saying San Diego Chargers, it happens. Here's the look at some of the events coming up this weekend in London. It's gonna be a busy schedule. The Alliance Park practice on Friday, the uh it's closed now the registrations attend that practice on Friday, but the Jags will stretched their eggs a bit at the home of Saracen's rugby club on Friday. Saturday, Meet and Green at j D Sports on Oxford Street down in Soho. That's twelve thirty until four thirty. Fulham Football Club at home

against Whole City. It's at three o'clock kickoff time at Craven Cottage and then at five thirty join us at the Union Jack's Pub party with Like a Mobile at the Admiralty Pub Entrafalgar Square. I'll be there. Special guests will be there. It'll be a lot of fun. Always is every Saturday night before the Jags play at Wimbley each season. So I hope you'll join us. If you're making the trip over to London, or if you're already there, or if you live there and you're a Jags fan,

come join us for all the events. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it. Uh. I can't wait for game day though, you, I mean in yours past, it's always been I can't look. I can't wait until we have the events that we're gonna be going to. Now, I'm like, it's all about the game. Man. It's the biggest Jaguars game. They've had their huge game. Yeah, here's game in.
