Jaguars Happy Hour: Wednesday, October 14

bit more this week. On offense, according to Jay Gruden today, Jaguar's offensive coordinator, the defense was game last week for about three quarters and then the fourth corner kind of got to the um. A lot of guys were out of course last week on the front line of things. They could be healthier this week. Uniform unveiling Jimmy Lux Sketle to join us at four thirty to show off with the Jags will wear in their return home this Sunday. A scout's view with Bucky Brooks and as always, we

played big game Jaguar. As we go into week six, this time. Bucky Brooks is out in Los Angeles, California, and Bucky, it's time to snap the slide. It's time to get back on the winning track. Yeah, this is the week Detroit Lions offer us a tremendous opportunity to get back on track. Uh, just gotta take care of business, play the right way, and I think we can get

it done. Johnny Olle, gotta get it done this week. Yeah, I mean, I uh, you know, I thought you had to get it done in the last three weeks too, So I don't know that this is a better matchup than those, But no, no, I mean I'm not being facetious, but yeah, this is the last of a stretch. Going into it, you realistically thought that you had chances and

you matched up well. So I think they'd be the first to tell you they have to play better just because it looks like a good matchup, you know, you know, they still have to make plays in key situations, which they have not done enough the last three weeks. All right, We've got plenty to get to in this matchup. Of course, coming up a little later, we'll get to the Jaguars defense and how they'll recover from all the injuries last week.

If you guys were back on the field today, Let's start on the offensive side of things, and that was a situation last week where the Jaguars did not run the ball a lot. In the game, Gardner Minshew threw at forty nine times, and in fact, in all four Jaguars losses, menshows thrown at forty or more times each time out there. Robinson only got thirteen carries in the game and ran for forty eight yards. A lot of

those were on the first couple of drives. You only had five yards rushing in the second half of the game on Sunday, So Jake Gruden today said that, as you know, always they're trying to balance it out a little bit more. In an ideal situation for Gardener would be twenty five to thirty attempts in a game. That means more carrious for James Robinson, and that was the formula for victory Bucky back in Week one. That is the way that the Jaguars have to play. It has

to be about the running game. It has to be about reducing the load on Garnermentshew. I think it's interesting that you brought up that stat that in the last four games. You gotta mensh you has forty or more attempts in each of those games, which has coincided with a bunch of losses. Some of that is not his own fault, but I do believe Jake Grutin needs to make sure that he is able to control the game

more by leaning on the run. I like to see James Robinson have twenty or more carries because that, to me, would would tell me that the game plan is about conserving it, making sure that it's the run game first, and then Garnermentshew is the complementary did and and John it's against defense is that do not rank well in terms of rushing in the National Football Last week, the Texans went into the game the worst rushing defense in football.

This week, the Lions are thirty second in the league. Yeah, and it has been. And from a purely statistical pregame breakdown, me and JP talk in the game point of view, logic would have told you you run until you can't run anymore against the Texans. So that's boring because I've already talked about that. But I'd love to know Bucky from the scouts point of view, was there something the Texans were doing that made them say this is a defense we can throw against. Because the coordinators don't go

into games trying to do the weird thing. Was there something that Texans were showing that made it look like they should be able to beat that defense With the past, well, I mean the Texas hadn't been very good i'll defense either. They had had some problems and issues in coverage. Uh, they weren't as tight as they had been. New defensive coordinator trying to figure out how to mix the fronts with the coverages, and so you saw some opportunities for

big plays. I think the one thing about attacking a team, we're building your game plan to be an attack mode. You have to always be mindful of what you do really really well. Early in the season, we saw James Robinson get off to a strong start by running the football when they were in those traditional I formations, ran play action off of that. It seemed to work well. Of late, we've seen a little more shotgun, a little more government you centric offense, and it hasn't worked as well.

I think they have to get back to the basis and get back to being a ground and paltape football team because guys, they have the the offensive line to do it. That we've talked about that on this show at other shows this year. That the line has held up well this year. I mean Linda was out with injury, but Shatley came in at the center and played well in his place. So they have the group up front to be able to handle that kind a load in

the running game. And I'm not an offensive lineman. I might eat like one according to Joe who opened the show, but um, run blocking is what these guys like to do more than anything on front. Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's easy when you look at this offensive line.

This offensive line is built to mall people at the point of attack, from Cam Robinson to Jamark Taylor, like, this is what they do, and so you want to put them in a position where they can go forward, knock people off the ball, and then use play action to help them. If we get into this past happy attack where everyone knows that we're passing, it really puts the offensive linemen in harm's way because they're not necessarily built to be a pass protection offensive line. Forty plus

snaps and so get back to the basics. Commit the running to football even if you're not getting those runs the Russia, attempts matter more than the yard it. You want to be able to slow down the game, dictate the terms, and really protect your defense as well. John overall, about Gardner Minshew's play last week, we know about the attempts forty nine attempts a lot, and Gruden is trying to come off that a little bit an ideal world.

But in that's in the just looking at the game, looking at Gardner play last week, and and listening to him today, which we always say on this show, he doesn't give you a whole lot. Um. What did you make of the way Gardner handled those attempts and those plays last week? Well, um, again, I want Gardner Minshew to succeed because I really like him and I hope

he's the franchise guy. But to me, in the last couple of weeks, and from talking to people who watch film far more than I, there have been issues with Pocket present, which sort of ties into the other issue of does he see the receiver's down field at a high level, meaning is he is he processing it? And more than anything, arm strength was the thing coming out. It's the reason he was a sixth round pick. It's the reason you're not sure about him. Does he have

the arm? Does he have the confidence to make throws into the big football cliche we've heard for weeks, the tight window throat. I haven't seen that. It looks to me like he's hesitating in the pocket because he's not making those you know, tight window throws you need to make. But I would rather hear Bucky on this because he's the guy who knows how this works far better than I. Hey, John, I'm glad you actually brought that up, because there's been

a lot of conversation in scouting circles. What is the main difference between Gardner Minshew and Baker Mayfield. That was a conversation earlier in the year because same size, similar production, and a similar system to air raid Washington State and at Oklahoma. And I think the way that Baker Mayfield has been utilized in Cleveland this year is really the blueprint for how the Jaguars can utiles mensh You more run game, more play action, easy throws, all play action.

Because it separates the defense, the windows are bigger, it allows your receivers to have more one on one matchups. Now, I don't know if James Robinson can command the kind of attention that Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt do. But that blueprint that is working in Cleveland should be copying and mimic and replicated down in Jacksonville because it is a formula that would work. We're going to mens you because I think it makes the game a lot easier

for him. Yeah, the Browns certainly can run the football this year up in Cleveland, and they're off to a fantastic start, the best start they've had since the early nineties. Let's get to this week's matchup the Detroit Lions, and if you look at their depth chart and their statistics bucking, there aren't a lot of household names on the defensive side of the football. Where does this defense hang their hat? What do they do? Really? This this is a defense

that hangs their head on Matt Patricia and his ski me. Uh, Matt Patricia is trying to still a page other the New England Patriots Playbook, where a is about the scheme we put players in the right situation. They brought over a bunch of Patriots that understand how to kind of play in this snowflake game plan that changes each and every week. What I can guarantee you the Detroit Lions are a team that plays a lot of man demand.

When I'm looking at their snap counts the first four weeks of the season, eighty two snaps a man, eighty one snaps a man, fifty six and sixty three respectively. They become a little more zone centric of late because demand demand was creating big play opportunities for the opponent. Now, how are they play Jacksonville based on what governament you has done? When we see more men more man to man because they feel like they can cover the guys or where they play zone and they're gonna men you

to make those tight window throws. They did it successfully against Cala Murray. Gonnament You isn't the same talent as Calor Murray, but you could see the Detroit Lions play a little more zone, keep their eyes on mensh you and really challenged him to make some of these tight window throws that he struggled with the last couple of weeks.

It'll be an interesting battle to watch. A couple of names to watch for Romeo Akuara, Tracy Walker who's from right around here in Brunswick, right up the road, and Jeff Okuda. Of course, o Kuta and Henderson the top two corners in the draft last year. John, that will be something. You know, they're not going head to head to each other, but those are the two big names we'll get. Bucky's taken a second, but John, you gotta Kuda, you got Henderson. Those are the two top guys coming

out last year. Yeah, and it uh, Kuda was the quote better overall player. And I probably learned this in a conversation with Bucky, Butkuda was the better overall player and CJ was considered the premier cover corner in the in the draft. You hope CJ is healthy. It sounded from today, by the way, like c J, Miles, Jack, and Josh Allen will all play Sunday. They were and in practice today, so it looks like Henderson be on

the field for that matchup. And uh, you know, from that point of view, Henderson and the other Jaguars players who were coming back, those are your big play guys. They need big plays on defense. So let's see if if c J can have a game like he did Week one, it'll be a high profile game where he should be motivated. Yeah, no doubt. Hey, Bucky. Who's had the better start so far, Henderson or Okuda? You know, start, it's really a push. Henderson missing a game or so

with with injuries has made it. He had the outstanding performance early in the year. Jeffrey cood is just very solid. I think the difference um in the two coming out. Jeffrey Cooder was just very solid and consistent in everything. He may not have he might not have been like the premier athlete that maybe C. J. Henderson was, but every time you turn on the tape you knew exactly what you were getting. I think they were a little

more ups and downs and spikes and Henderson's play. Both are very talented, Both are worthy of being first round picks, and I think both teams are happy with what they get. All right, guys, let's come back in a moment. We will get a little more in depth on this Jaguars defense. It was without a handful of starters a week ago, but as John just alluded to, their a few back on the practice field this week, and some guys stepped

up in their place last week too. And the match up with Matthew Stafford Adrian Peterson now a Lion as well, we're often running.

On this Wednesday, Week six, we had football last night on Tuesday night. We'll get to that coming up a

little bit later. Jimmy Luck right around the corner, as well the Jags equipment manager to show off of the Jaguars are wearing the Sunday Let's get to the Jags defense though. Last week, guys four starters out Jack, Josh Allen, C. J. Henderson, d J. Hayden if you want to count him, who was on i R last week. And then Josh Jones was ejected from the game, So five front line guys out, John, But there were some guys that stepped in there and

played pretty well in their place. Dakota Allen had seven tackles. Daniel Thomas led the team and tackle seven solo tackles last week and he played only a half. He came in after Josh Jones was run from the game, and then Smooth had a sack and three quarterback at Sydney Jones with a handful of past defenses. So there were some guys John that that came in and what could have been an adverse situation and performed fairly well last week. Yeah,

they gave the team a chance. They broke Serve a couple of times to borrow a tennis term and they got themselves in it. I don't think this defense this year is going to pitch a lot of shutout. That's a news flash, but it's going to give up point. But if you can get your hand on a couple of balls, if you can create some turnovers and create opportunities. The huge disappointment was they did that twice and got no point. Had done that then all of a sudden,

I think the game is a lot different. Encourage I am anyway by Smoot and by Sydney Jones. I don't know that Smooth has played his way into a dramatically different long term role. What I wonder is Sidney Jones, who Bucky knows well because he's a draft guy, good prospect, didn't work out in Philly. Maybe he's a guy you package across from Henderson, move Herndon inside the Nickels, solidify

that a little bit. I don't know that that's what they'll do, but it's a way to get him on the field, and maybe he's a guy who can be long term at that spot. You know, John, I I'm

glad you actually brought up Sidney Jones name. I just wrote that note down in my notebook because he was a guy that was a big time prospect coming out of Washington and what happened during this pro day when he was coming out, he popped his achilles tendon, and during his time at Philadelphia he was never quite right, and so for the Jaguars to pick him up to get him when you put him on the field, this is the guy that we saw when he was at you dub and if he can continue to play like this,

to put him alongside C. J. Henderson, it gives you really what I think too high end prospects at the corners, and they would trade her in the moving inside. I think it solidifies that starting three that you want in coverage, gives them a chance to play the style of football that they want to play. I mean interrupt JP. I'm sorry, but to clarify with Buck, he said he was the first round guy and he popped his achilles at his pro day, So he's still got drafted in the second round.

I believe I'm right on this. Yes, he still got drafted in the second round after the achilles injury. Without that, I guess he was one of the top three four guys in the draft that year. If he's right now, you've got two first round corners, one of which is on the cheap and still very manageable in terms of contract. Uh, they would take that right now, considering the roster build that they're in. Oh yeah, if they can, if they get something out of Sydney Jones. It kind of reminds

me of the Aaron Colvin situation. Remember he tours a c L, the Senior Bowl and Mobile and then a few years you know, he would went down the draft a little bit. The Jacks took a chance on him and he and he came back and played well for this organization a little bit later. Um, all right, so the matchup this this week. Obviously, Matthew Stafford is the guy, and he's played the Jags twice guys in his career,

and he hasn't really lit him up. He's like, he hasn't thrown any touchdowns against this team, and he hasn't thrown any picks. You see his numbers there se passing but fairly modest statistically against the Jaguars. They've run the ball well in those games. Um, but Matthew Stafford is a guy, John that I mean, he's a franchise guy for a reason. He can light you up if you let him. Well, he's got all kinds of arm talent.

And he can make every throw all that thing. You're not a number one overall pick without all that stuff. You know, it's hard to tell. This is a tough game to analyze because the Lions have been good, they've been ahead of teams, They've given a lot of games away. I think on paper you would say that they're the favorite, they're the better team because if Jared's haven't proven that, they should be a better team than anybody right now.

But Stafford's dangerous. It's the old thing. Can this team passers? This is two pass rushes. By the way, they're struggling. The Lions are struggling just as much of the Jags. Josh Allen getting back and you get some sort of pressure to force mistake because we can analyze things all we want on the Jaguars this year, they're gonna have to force mistakes and turnovers to stay in games this year.

I don't think the defense is gonna throw five, six, seven, straight, three and out at teams the way they could a couple of years back. Want to see most effective that Bucky? Yeah, When you look at this offense, Um, he really has a good connection with darreb Ellbo. He's been solid with the offense. He has weapons around him that he can target, UM, Marvin Jones, Kenny Golladay, Ajan Peterson has given them a

boost in the running game. UM, but he has also one that is prone to turn the ball over and it just kind of depends on if you can get enough pressure on him to rattle this cage a little bit. He doesn't mind making a couple of hero throws that can land in the hands of Jaguars defenders. The thing that you have to do is you have to win early down situations, forced the Lions to throw in obvious passing downs, and then someone has to be able to

heat him up. UM, that would be the challenge. That is what I would expect Toy Washington really talk about. We have to win early downs to force Matt dough Stafford to throw on obvious passing downs. Got Hockinson as well. T J. Hockenson, the tight end there who was a high draft pick obviously and might have been a Jaguars selection, has not been for some movement above them in the draft. How has he played so far, Bucky for the Lions,

He's been okay. UM. Injuries heard him last year. Um, he hasn't necessarily been the dominant player that we expected. When you've taken in top ten, you expect the dominant player very very early in his career. He hasn't played the dead level, but he's a solid piece of their offense sive polls when he's someone that you have to understand their whereabouts. He's not quite the difference maker as a run blocker or even as a receiver that you want,

but he's certainly someone you have to keep an eye on. Yeah, and the Jags have had moments where they've had issues with tight ends. On the other side, of course, John, We've we've seen that in times passed around here. Yeah, well you've seen it. You know, there's some say you see it every week for you know, ten years. It's not that extreme, but certainly they have had trouble covering the tight end. They had a huge breakout, uh when it looked like Showberg or Dakote Allen whichever lost the

tight end the other day. It's been a mammoth issue. From looking at Hawkinson's numbers, Bucky studies more than I do the other guys in other other teams. Doesn't look like Hockinson's an extreme threat. But you know, with this defense right now, there's been enough lapses where you worry if they lose eye contact or have bad eyes, as

they say on Hockinson, he can certainly beat you. So you know, look, with this defense right now, you kind of gotta watch everything because there's not enough depth in front line guys to go around. So you hope the linebackers can cover tight ends better than they did last week. All right, Um, you mentioned Adrian Peterson. He is fifth on the NFL all time rushing list, of course, and he's got some work to do to to move up the ladder there to those upper echelon guys. He's gosh,

about eight hundred yards. Are so shy of Barry Sanders for fourth? Frank Gore still playing, so he might not catch him. Uh Mm, it's way up there, so you know he's gonna have to play at least a couple of three years to maybe get there. How much gas does ap have left in the tank there, Bucky? You know, surprising when he left the Washington football team, I thought it might have been I thought it was over for Adrian Peterson. He's fine because he's dependable and reliable, but

he doesn't have to pop anymore. He doesn't have that juice that you expect your top running back to have. But he reunited with his old offensive coordinator Darryl Pebble. Dary Bubble trust him. He's getting in twenty carries, so he's been productive. Jaguars defense against the run, John, of course, going into the season, that was a big conversation point for this group, after all the two hundred yard games they gave up a year ago. How would you grade

their performance against the run this year? John Well, I think you have to grade it in two parts, and people hate talking about injuries, but it was it was certainly treading water, which again with his defense this year, if you can stay afloat, that's the goal. The frontline guys aren't there to be great. With Miles Jack, they were much improved, reliable run defense that wasn't giving up a lot of breakout plays. I expect Miles and Jared

Wilson both in the game this week. Those two guys are both very liable in the right place show it will be there. I think they'll be fine against the run as long as Wilson and Jack are in games and they're not allowing the many, many, many JP did I say many breakout runs from last year. As long as those two guys are in there, they'll be adequate against the run enough to give themselves a chance to get in some of those third and longs that he

was talking about earlier. Right, we were, we were. We obviously saw the difference right away when Miles left that game in Cincinnati. But it felt like Dakota Allen played better last week. Didn't watch the tape obviously, but you know stood in there, had a week of preparation and played better in that role last week. By you see the same thing. Yeah, Now, Dakode Allen stepped up, played well. Obviously,

He's not on the same par as Miles Jack. Miles Jack was playing at a pro Bowl level, I mean all pro level, uh, those first couple of games, and so the Jack Wards needs to get him back in the lineup. But for a stop gap, a stop gap player, a player who was thrust in the duty. He did a very very solid job stepping in from Miles Jack. You need to continue to see him play like that

when he gets his opportunity. All right, So it sounds like, guys that the defense will be back the band is back together this week, right, John, I mean this is the group that they're uh, they're going to battle with. Yeah, it's a band. I mean, I mean they're back together. And you hope that again, you saw an addition in Sydney Jones. You saw Wilson being back. Maybe that makes

the secondary Josh Jones being back. All of a sudden, You've got guys in the secondary who you think, Okay, these might be an improved bunch over what you had going into training camp. Maybe. So now if you add the playmakers back, which is C J. Jack and Allan, those are guys that you expect. Wouldn't be surprising if those three guys created what pen twelve turnovers in a year or tw ten twelve big plays game turning place. That's what you gotta have in this because they're not

gonna shut teams out, but they can create plays. So that's their formula. They've got to break serve, you know, John, you bring up a good point, Um and talking about the playmakers. Uh, they played the last game without the playmakers, and it's important for an elite defense. And I'm not saying that the Jaguars obviously on elite defense, but in going there. You have to have a playmaker at every level that can be what we call a blue chip player.

And you have that in Josh Allen, you have that in Miles Jack, and you also have that emerging in c. J. Henderson. Getting those guys back, that's the difference between being good and great. The onus is on those guys to bring those big splash plays that are lacking on defense. You need those guys to deliver that. Yeah, Jack, Yes, Back when Dave called well before the season said I love this team, I don't think he loved it with C. J. Henderson,

Miles Jack and Josh Allen not on the field. I mean, so they're the guys and his Bucky said, they're the main guys on this defense. They're the guys who give you a chance at every level. As Bucky said, yeah, of course. And I was gonna say, Miles Jack made one of those splash plays two weeks ago now in Cincinnati with that interception in the ends, one above the XS and those type of plays there. Let's come back. In a moment, Jimmy Luck will join us Jaguars equipment manager.

There might be some breaking trade news as well. We'll get to that coming up in just a little bit. Jimmy Luck joining us from t I A a bank field. What's up, man?

How are you? Jimmy? Are you there, Jimmy? You're muted? Jimmy, can you hear me? For goodness sakes, we've got you now? How are you? You got now? Okay? I know you can see the hat? Yeah, what's what is the hat? What's the deal with the hat? That's the weird. This is a crucial catch month, and this is our big crucial catch game. So this is the I guess, more fashionable version of the crucial catch hat. Most of the

coaches will probably wear the more tame down version. But I know this is right up Zones alley here with the tide of the hippie stuff, right, John is right, one of those hats my way, jim I got my way. And I'll take a couple of hoodies too while you're at it. Keep it coming, keep it coming, twelve and a half. Use over here, Bucky. What's your size? Bucky? Yeah? Whatever? Yeah, I mean, like, let's let's get it all. I've been

in the team store. I got the crucial casting that. Hey, that was what I was going to break out this week. That was my lucky my lucky sweat. And you see, I got the service and actually I win got that, So now I just need to go and make sure they were ready to get a win this week. We've done our part right. Absolutely. That's that's what it is. That's what it's about. Joe Fortunado is about a medium I think though, Jimmy, So just keep that in mind.

Put that on your list too. I'm not saying, I'm just saying, so that home and you you mentioned the cancer Awareness month and stuff with a hat, but what else is involved in that? Are there other things players can wear on the field in a week like this, Yeah, they, Um, there's some wrist bands here and there. Guys can wear We've got sweatshirts, although it's probably a little warm for that, but we've got sweatshirts. Some guys have some shoes, some

guys have some gloves. Um. I like I say, most guys will probably have, like, you know, a wrist band or something that may you know, call out one particular cause that they want to support. It's good stuff. It's it's you know, these different each not every month, but a lot of months have different ideas. There's a military awareness game, there's a cancer awareness month as well, where the team can do these type of things, and you know, it gives guys options to to show different ways and

different people that may be in their lives. And that's a pretty cool thing that the league does on a

month and month basis. Jimmy Yeah. And then later on in the year they'll do the my calls my cleats where a lot of guys choose their foundations or are different things that you know, they'll paint their cleats up um with their with whoever they want to support there and brings a lot of attention to you know, what they want to support, and it's, you know, something to help us bring attention to our fans and um and support of the players. What does the other hat look like?

By the way, this was the more fashionable hat. What does the other hat look like? Uh, it's kind of like gray and it just has like a kind of a tight eye outline on there. But it's it's much more conservative, probably up more of your alley, JP. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Uh, thank you. Is that a compliment? I don't know. Let's get to the uniforms. This week, the Jaguars are at home against the Detroit Lions.

Happy our presented of the Fields Auto Group, JP, Shadrick, Bucky Brooks, John Osier and some news coming down the Twitter machine today just a few minutes ago. It has not been confirmed by the team's yet, but reports coming from NFL Network Mike Garrelfolo and Tom Placeero reporting that the Titans are trading Kamale, Korea to the Jaguars. He's a linebacker, a rare Indivision trade.

If this comes through, Bucky, how about that? Yeah, it's really interesting because this guy was really um a prominent prospect coming out of Boise State. You like diversatility, You like the fact that he could get after the pastor

he could do a bunch of different things. For whatever reason, it hasn't materialized at the NFL level, But when you're the Jacksonville Jaguars and you're looking for guys that can potentially make plays, you want to give Corea an opportunity to get into rotation and maybe he can help supply support this pass rush. Is a guy that can blitz off the edge and do a bunch of different things from a stand up or even a three point stands John.

When you gotta find guys, you gotta find them anywhere, and even in the division, you don't see this too often, and if the reports are right. Paul Kaharsky, who's very tied end up in Nashville, says it was a flip flop of the seventh round pick, meaning Titans get the Jaguars,

vice versa. So that in that sense that doesn't surprise me that that's part of it, because this team does not want to give up draft equity number of picks that they control in a draft, so basically they pick to ensure that they would be able to claim him or get him once he was released. So I'm assuming Bucky that he can play strong side backer and rush the pass. Are similar to maybe a Cassius marsh craig me if I'm wrong. Yeah, that's a great comparison because

that's where you would act he fit in. He is a guy that is heavy handed. He can't play the strong side linebacker spot. You would like to free him up where he can rush and do some of those things. He has eight and a half sacks in his career. But the thing was when he was at Boise State, like multiple seasons where he had double digit sacks, was a guy that was a dominant performer and player, and for whatever reason, it just didn't necessarily work out in

Baltimore and then in Tennessee. But maybe the third time to charm, maybe it's the right system for him to be able to flourish like he flourished when he was at Boysey State. Interested in the timing of this too, because you know, if it's announced today, hasn't been in the works, when does the testing happen, And there's still gotta be a window for him to get here. So I would I'm gonna guess, and I'm speculating because it hasn't even been official announced yet that he may not

be ready for Sunday's game. That would be a quick turnaround there, Bucky, Yeah, it would be a quick turnaround. But I think you can't get excited about what he potentially could bring. Um, he's another guy you throw into the rotation because I mean, we struggle generating a consistent pass for us. You're looking for any and anybody, anybody that can contribute and add something to the mix. So, yeah, you bring him in, you kick the tires on him. It only cost you an exchange of positions in the

seventh round. Why not give him an opportunity to see if he can add something to this defense as a pass rusher. Al Right, So that's the latest and greatest. As we said, if anything official comes through in the next few minutes, here will pass it along to you. Those are reports though from NFL Network today. The Jaguars have made a trade with the Titans for a linebacker.

Speaking of the Titans, last night, they come through and and put together a absolutely impressive performance against the Buffalo Bills, and Bucky, how many practices did they have in the last two weeks that were official practices. You know, JP was remarkable about their effort on Tuesday Night. They were able to dominate the Buffalo Bills, and they only had re practices in their facility, and each of those practices

consisted of really an extended walkthrough. And so without full contact practices, with just using zoom meetings or virtual meetings away from each other and encouraging their guys to work out on their own, they were able to get it done. And when you heard them talk, they talked about and no excuses mentality. I think this doesn't bolde well for the coaches who always talked about needing practice time, we

didn't get enough practice days, we need more contact. The way that they looked, in the way that they perform, maybe you kind of debunk some of that stuff when it comes to the need to have practice and some of these physical practices. When you see the Titans play the way that they played, Johnny buying this, Yeah, because JP, unfortunately for you, you have to read my thoughts every day, which I'm sorry about that you read the O Zone every day. I've always thought O t A S. You

know a lot of this is overrated. I in season practice, you know, be fresh be fast, be ready to go, especially for an experienced team, which to me, the Titans are a little more experienced than a lot of teams. I don't know why it feels that way, but they just are, uh, be fresh and ready to go and prepared the end season practice. Yeah, and I know so much about because I played the game. No, no, no, no, joh. But I think you bring something up, um, I said.

And listened to Mike Rabels presser after the game, and he talked about giving the circumstances. They wanted to make sure that they just used their core package, their base plays. They wanted to simplify everything make sure that their players feel good about what they were doing. So it's less about preparing um in depth about the Buffalo Bills and more about let's just make sure we do the things

that our guys know will and let them perform. I think there's a lesson to be learned, uh from that, And I think a lot of coaches will pay attention to how the Titans were able to play at such a high level without a lot of practice time. Yeah. And now really quick turnaround this one too. Yeah, and you know I work for the Colts for ten years with with Tony Dunge, I think is one of the better coaches I've ever been around whenever they had a bad game. And he's not alone in this. It's it's

a league wide philosophy. You have a bad game, you don't add stuff to simplify it so you can play faster, especially on defense. So this ties in with that. Don't overcomplicate things. These guys are NFL players, they know what to do. Let him go play, So there is an element of that. And you know, I think you might see four or five teams just canceled practice this week. But yeah, yeah I would. I'm a big fan. They just just have a couple of walkthroughs. Let's get to

the game fresh and ready to play. Yeah, well, we'll see you guys on the Microsoft teams. Meete Fellows enjoying the house. Um, let's get to big game Jaguar this week because we wind down here and it's a big game this week. Of course, the Jacks have the Detroit Lions, who at home. They've been away for two weeks. The Jacks have their away next week in Los Angeles before the bye, so a chance to get a little home cooking. So Bucky get us started with big game Jaguar. Who

you got, Oh, I'm gonna takeing Miles Jack. And Miles Jack is a blue chip player. He's a player that is desperately missed. Look at the production the first three games. Eleven tackles in each of those games. They need that at the second level. If he returns, man, he would give a huge boost to this defense. I think he dominates if he comes back and plays against the Detroit Lions. Yeah, it sounds like he was on the He was on the field when we were out there today, which is

good news. And let's see if he can get back and getting that starting lineup this week. John Osier, how about you? Yeah, I just quick thought on Miles So happy for him. JP. You've been around him. Got crushed last year really for reasons beyond his control, and boy is he big time. He probably would have been mine. Uh, But I since that Bucky would go Miles this week, so I went. I went with Josh Allen uh coming back sort of the same vein we talked about already

in the show. This team needs big plays and big moments from the defense because it's not gonna be the two thousand Ravens. And shut people down. Josh is a guy hadn't shown you yet this year, but he's one of the guys who you're never surprised if after the game you're talking to him about multiple sacks, multiple big plays. He's capable of it. Get Stafford in some bad situations, get Josh Allen after him and make him and throw the ball to C. J. Henderson. That's a way they

could turn this game early. So Josh Allen my big game player, Miles Jack, Josh Allen the Dog is contributing to the broadcast today, which is great for the week's I love it. That's not my big game Jaguar, by the way, is not the pooch that is barking in the background. I'm going with James Robinson, Yes, i am. I went with James Robinson last week too, because some of the reasons we talked about earlier on the show, with the Texans had struggled against the run, maybe they

could shorten the game up a little bit. Well, this is certainly the scenario I think for me this week, to give James Robinson the ball a little bit more than they did last week. You only had touches last week on the ground five of those in the second half or five yards. Jake Gruden today said they're gonna try to balance it out some more. But the way the games have been played sometimes they're chasing points and trying to get back in the fourth quarter, so they've

had to get away from it a bit early. Give me James Robinson as a big game Jaguar. Run the ball, eat some clock, manage the time of possession, keep the defense over the sideline, keep Matt Stafford over their sipping gatorade. And I think that's mine for this week. I like the dog couldn't contribute. That was a night. We need to do that every week. No, John, John, you have the rat dog over there somewhere right, get rat dogs

at my feet. He's getting edgy. It's dinner time. So so uh, if we don't get off this thing in about five minutes down, you'll hear from her, well, good news. We are almost done then, So alright, final thought about the feeling for this week. It's a four game slide um. You know, there's the trip to l A next week against a Charger's team that is surging with a good quarterback, and then the bye week. So at some point this thing has to stop. John, It's got to start here. Yeah.

I mean, you know, as I said earlier in the show, not being facetious, but we've thought the last two or three weeks that it should stop and that they should do certain things. I haven't been able to do it. And because they haven't been able to make big plays a key times. Can they do it this week? You know? I I hope so. I want this defense to show what it showed last week in terms of some big plays on defense that gave the offense a chance. My

senses with Stafford, they'll get that chance. Can they catch the ball when he throws it to them? Always a big question with him, and then with this team. Jay Gruden talked about it today. If you remember the Colts game JP, remember that far back they forward two of two in the red zone, got touchdowns with opportunities. The other day they gave away two opportunities, failed to get ten points. This team can't do that. If they take

advantage of their opportunities, they'll have a chance to win. Sunday. About you, Bucky, Yeah, I saw about cashing in on the opportunities. This game was last week. The game was right there for them, to win it. They had opportunities to cash in and they didn't. This has to be a week where they're able to get that. If they get turnovers, they get into red zone in their kicking field goals, they need to knock those through. And also let's put the trick plays a bit. Let's just try

and keep its simple in these critical situations. The Jaguars are now on their fifth kicker of the season as well this week, and it's it's far from my ideal too. It's a crazy one. We've never seen one like that before. All right, guys, have a great week, and John will look forward to your writing all week long. And Bucky, we will catch up with you on post game and we'll take phone calls on Sunday. How about it. Yes, let's do it after a win. After a win, Bucky Brooks,

John Osier, our entire crew, I'm J. P. Shadrick. We've gone to the dogs. This Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group when the Jaguars Digital now
