Jaguars Happy Hour: Wednesday, September 30

Here's what's on the show today. Jags Bengals Preview, Week four. It's on the Cincinnati for the Jacksonville Jaguars, coming off back to back losses, trying to get right for a favorable stretch coming up. But with this team, it's week to week. As Doug Morone said, we're oh and O heading into sense and adding pass rush. Well, this would be the week to get it cranked up against the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line. But it's a little more than just the front floor. We'll get into that offense is

looking for consistency, certainly from the quarterback. Maybe they could run the ball a little more effectively, a little more often. If they're closer in the football game. The uniform unveiling as usual. Jimmy Luck joins us, the head equipment manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars, will get a scouts view from Thursday night or excuse me, on Monday night, like a great quarterback matchup, and we'll pick our big game Jaguar for Week four in Cincinnati. Bucky Brooks joins us from

Los Angeles. John Osier joins us from Jacksonville, Florida. Bucky, here, we are going into Week four into Cincinnati. Are you ready? I am ready. It's a big week. Must win this week, must win for the Jaguars. This week JP a mushin and Week four Joe Wow, must win. Okay, if they lose the next weeks, it must win. You got crap, You got crap. Bucky thrown down the gauntlet early in the season. It is a big football game, you know that. John agrees. Now, okay, and there's a must win. They

gotta get this one. They get back on track for sure. Um Let's let's start on the defensive side, shall we another slow start? Let's say for the Jaguars defense. Last week they give up three straight touchdown drives to start the game and they were long sustained drives. You know, is it? Is it, Bucky? Is it just playing better early in the game? Is it? Is there anything else to starting better on the defensive side than just that? I mean, yeah, they gotta come out of the gate fast.

And I don't really know the recipe. We've talked about it a few different times on the post game show. How maybe they have to simplify. Maybe they need to figure out what are the best calls for this defense called those plays early in the game until they settle in. But I believe, like last Thursday against the Dolphins, they just didn't come with the right energy to start the

game out with. And I don't know if some of that is intrinsically motivated or if it's something where coaches got to kind of push him and urged them a little bit. But they have to come and play like their hairs on fire right from the jump. This is a game that they have to have to need to get back on tray and get a win in the column. And so the defense needs to play much better, and they needs to play better from the first quarter on. Yeah,

how do you jump start that? John Well? Again? If I knew I'd be over there in tier one and not over here in tire eight, so they're not letting me near that. But um I wondered the other night if they came out sort of with their hair on fire against Tennessee defensively and we're jumping all over Derrick

Henry and they got thrown over. I wondered the other night, after sort of sitting back and looking at it, if maybe the opposite was proved, not that they weren't excited, but that, hey, we don't want to jump on things too fast. We want to have good eyes, we want to make sure we know where we're going. And it's sort of looked passive. I don't think anybody comes out

on Thursday night wanting to be passive. But I wonder if there wasn't some thinking too much, some whoa, we can't commit to this big play or this place because we'll get beat deep again. That's just a theory. I don't know. They play okay after the first quarter, thirty of their eighty two points of been in the first quarter. They've just got to figure out how to get to that early. Because you're playing up hill way too much.

It affects everything. We'll talk about that more during the show. Yeah. And you know, Fitzpatrick managed the game nothing longer. It had a Minshew field from week one really not a lot of nothing really deep down the field. Uh, spread it out to guys that can make plays, and and they just kind of march down the field those three

drives to start the game. You know, there's a little conversation this week Bucky and about them, about Doug Marone maybe changing his philosophy to jump start things if they win the toss and take the ball first offensively too kind you know, give the defense a chance to work with a lead at some point, maybe if they can get the ball down the field. Uh. You know, you hate to come off a philosophy like that, though, if you're if you believe in getting that last drive before

halftime and then the one starting the second half. Of course, it might not matter. If the Bengals win the toss, they'll they'll take the ball first to put the Jags defense out there. Yeah. I mean, it's one of those things that I think you have to have that conversation with your coaching staff to see if it would be better for the Jacks to take the kick. If they win the toss and see if they can kind of

put the other team in a hole. I think, regardless of how it plays out, whether you win the toss and lose the toss, when the defense steps onto the field, they have to be in a better position and better frame of mind when it comes to being ready to play. And so that's on time. I watched us on all the position coaches to get those guys ready, and really it's on the players. The players have to start playing with a sense of urgency from the moment the game

and the ball is kicked off. We have to see more effort, more energy, and better execution for them to kind of get the start that we need to see them have changed something, though, right if the results are the same, well, I guess I'm not bit. I get the Doug is thinking about deferring, and that's fine, he needs to think about something all that. This is a

little bit on the offense too. I get that the defense has been giving up the points early, but the offense has yet to score a touchdown or a field goal on either their first three drives. They haven't looked as bad. There's been a couple of reasons. You had the lender penalty in game one, you had interception that really wasn't anybody's fault. In game two, but if you say you defer, I mean I say you take the ball. Okay, take the ball and then get to the fifty pot

and they go down to score. Well, now you're in a hole and you're not getting the ball. So both sides have to play. We gets the ball first, both sides have to play better and get a lead. Well, it has to be fall effort. They have to certainly work in unison to get off to a better start, but the first quarter has been a problem for the Jaguars. They have to rectify the issue, no doubt about that. We'll we'll delve into the offense a little bit later

on Jaguars Happy Hour. Let's continue our defensive talk though. Well. The Bengals last week gave up eight sacks of Joe Burrow to the Philadelphia Eagles, and Burrow was hit eighteen times in that football game. He's been hit thirty one times for the season, fourteen sacks. That's the most in the NFL. So for Jaguars defense, it has only three sacks this year. Could this be of the week where they can get repped up a little bit in the pass rush game. Well, Doug Marone this week has said that,

you know, it's really a full defensive issue. It's not the guys up front a lot of times, it's the secondary playing tighter coverage and not giving up the early reads in the progression. So Bucky, you know, Alan's getting close sometimes, but not close enough because the quarterback seems to been getting the ball out quickly. You know, Coach Maroon brings up a great point because it does work together.

The rush and the coverage are tied together. When you have great coverage on the back end, it buys extra time for the pass us to be able to get home. When you have a great pass rush, it enables you to make more plays in the back end. Regardless of how they go about this, they have to take away some of the easy completes and throws that Ryan Fitzpatrick was able to complete in Week three, and they have to put it on Joe Burrow to make these tightly

contested throws down the field. He has been a guy who has been looked out standing the last couple of weeks, five touchdowns, averaging over three hundred passing yards for a game, but he's only one for six team. When it comes to deep ball throws meaning air yards of twenty or more and so you know the ball is going to be short. There's gonna be a quick rhythm passing game. C. J. Henderson and company. They have to snug up to the wire receivers, take those guys away, don't give them the layups,

and then Kayla manchasn Josh Allen. Someone has to be able to get home and put some hits on Joe Burrow. Yeah, because if Joe Burrow is good with pressure, imagine John how good he could be without pressure. Yeah. I thought Dougs point this morning talking about this sort of set at all. When your quarterback is able to throw on your on his first read or even quickly on his second.

Very few pass rushers, no matter how good they are, and I do believe Josh Allen's good, but very few pass rushures are gonna get home in that regard the coverage. We've said it since day one. It's an incredibly young secondary. Herndon is barely into his second four year playing. Henderson's a rookie you've got and I'm sure who's starting it. Free safety anymore. So it's uh, they've got to cover tighter. As Bucky said, I don't even know if it's necessarily

blitzing is the answer. Maybe it's confusing coverage is doing something to confuse Burrow into holding the ball for a second, because I look, he's very capable. He can eat you a I've just like Ryan Fitzpatrick did. They've got to cover better to let this pass rust get home because the pass wretch is not going to be great this year. There's not enough good pass rsures I've fount to be great. Yeah, I feel like they blitz a little more last week. Maron said that after the game that we blitzed more

on first and second and third down. We've brought a little more pressure than we have in the first two weeks. But it's much more than just just blitzing. And of course, as we've talked about Bucky, if you bring extra guys, that puts more pressure on that inexperienced secondary. It does, but lot of pressure on those guys. And I'm gonna say that C. J. Henderson did not have a great game against the Miami Dolphin. Is one of the worst games that we've seen him have through three games. I mean,

it was the worst game that he played. He didn't match up, He lacked a little focus at pr penalties losses, man failed to touchdown to Kim Grant, uh got lost in coverage a little bit. I would expect that he is more doubted and focus this week, and I think, um if he is at a better level than I think, it potentially could give Tyd watch some options in terms of how they defend the Cincinnati Bengals offense. A J. Green is the name player, but Tyler Boyd is the

number one receiver right now. He is the more consistent, the more dynamic, the more explosive player. So at some point the Jaguars have to figure out a way to take him away. And also they gotta find a way to make sure that they contained Tee Higgins, the young rookie was also showing up in big moments and John. The last time we saw A J. Green that was twenty seventeen. He did not playing last year's mane and

he missed the season with an ankle injury. And the last time we saw him, he was getting injected, was fighting with Jalen Ramsey here in Jacksonville. Yeah, it was quite a scene, and uh, you know it, it's so much different now that it almost doesn't even feel like a storyline because Jalen is not here. And uh, you know, I get that A. J. Green doesn't feel like he's the same guy that he was in his quote prime, but he's certainly dangerous enough to be the storyline on

on Sunday. This is a very dangerous I don't think the Bengals have big skill position names, but they have good skill position players. And what really scares you about this game. Burrow is gonna win in this season eventually, and I think he's gonna win more than one or two. The Jaguars need to really hope this is not his breakout game. Disrupt him somehow, be it odd coverages, something in the back or an occasional blitzer too, because this is dangerous. This is not one that the Jaguars quote

should win. Yeah, and especially if Bucky, if they get the running game going. Joe Mixon hasn't really awoken yet this season. He has the big contract that he signed in the off season, but he is certainly capable of doing things on the ground for this offense to balance things out for Burrow. Yeah, he absolutely it's very capable of being able to do it. Some would say that he's the top five running back. He hasn't put him the numbers this year, but you know he is due

for a breakout game at some point. Big, fast, and physical, can take it to the edge as a runner, outstanding out running out of the backfield. So he's a nightmare. He's a handful the big thing because he is the guy that can alleviate some of the pressure on Joe Burrow. I think the Jaguars have to play close attention to him. They can't let the running game get going and let Burrow throw comfortably from the pocket. This has to be a game where they make the opponent. They make the

Bengals one dimensional. We'll find out. We'll see if the Jaguars can can bounce back this week. Tough task against the number one overall draft pick Joe Burrow playing well all the Bengals O two and one to start the season. Though. Let's come back in a moment. We'll flip it around of the Jaguars offense and look at their performance from last Thursday night and how they match up against the Bengals defense this year. Last year, remember the Jaguars went

over two hundred rushing yards in Cincinnati.

J P. Shadrick, John Osier, and Jacksonville at our home Studios Bucky Brooks out in Los Angeles, California. Let's get

to this Jaguars offense. James Robinson has the most scrimmage yards for an undrafted player through three games in league history nine yards. That's pretty remarkable statistic. I think John, they'd love to get the running game going, but it's difficult to get it going consistently when you're down by a couple of scores, especially later in the game. They

gotta gotta they have to go away from it. And J Gruden said today that he may have come off a little early last week, but when you're down two scores, you gotta do what you have to do. To try to get back in the game. But they I think they'd like to run the football a little bit more. Yeah, I kind of get what Jay was saying today. He he kind of you've fell on the sword a little bit and said, Hey, I said, are called more runs?

I got to pass happy At the same time, you're down to seven fourteen nothing and then you fall down seven after the sack. Uh, maybe he could have mixed in one or two more if they were at the point where they needed to push the ball down the game was getting away from him. Yes, James, Robinson and Gruden said today has been maybe the best player offensively

through the first three games. But no matter how much the offensive coordinator wants to commit to the run, when you're down fourteen, even if you run, okay, it's not gonna have the effect you one. Defenses are given that to you. You've got to stay even realistically to make the running game a long term thing that you can depend on. Bucky, they had success up there last year running the football. Obviously, different different players involved in that game.

But um, what does the matchup look like this week against the Bengals defense on the ground, Well, I mean, I think they can have success on the ground. I think the big thing is James Robinson has to be a central part of the game plan. He has already established himself as one of the go to players on this offense, be it as a runner and as a receiver. He has to touch the ball and he needs to touch at twenty or more times. Uh. DJ Chart coming

back WI certainly helped it. But James Robinson being a factor, particularly on the ground, it takes the ball out of Gardner Minshew's hands. He doesn't have to do so much that he's been able to. He's been trying to do I think too much very early in the year. So if he could be established, they can get ground game going. Also bring some of the other playmakers into the mix,

and Chris Connelly has to play better. Can't have two critical jobs that hurt them and so if they can get that going, they certainly can be an offense that gives to Since Santi Beingle's problem, it sounds like DJ Chark will be back in the fold this week, John,

which is good news. And I found it interesting that the Cruden said that they didn't find out until Wednesday late afternoon that Chart would not be available on Thursday night football, so the game plans already in, they had to kind of role with it, and you know, they couldn't really change a lot of what they were trying to do offensively that they had planned with Chart possibly playing in that game, but they just kind of had to roll with it. He's the best one on one

player they have out time. Yeah, you're in a tough spot on Thursday night anyway, and that's a little bit of an unusual situation that it goes you know that long. Ah, You wonder if maybe they shouldn't have just said, Okay, we're assuming he's not going to be in. But it didn't feel that way all week. He didn't really feel like one of those things. Yeah, I wrote a couple

of times since that game. If DJ isn't a number one like Elite League guy in that in that regard, he's he's pretty close to it, and he's sure turned into it for this team. He's the only receiver they have right now because Elvis Kaschnut isn't at this level yet. He's the only guy that really draws defenders to him. He's the only guy that makes coordinators defend him in a certain way, which helps everybody else, including the quarterback. He's that guy they looked too for big plays and

to get other people big plays. Without him, it's not there. So uh, if there's a list of guys you can't afford to lose on this Jaguars team, he's maybe at the top of the list, right along with Josh al Yeah. What he brings to the table, Bucky is is that ability to to open things up for everybody else. He

absolutely does open things up. He's an unusual number one receiver, meaning he's a guy that can hand all the responsibilities of being the designated chain mover, but also has the vertical stretch playmaking ability and his speed, Uh is real and you feel that, and it changes the way defensive

coordinators have to defend the Jaguars offense. So getting him back into the mix, being able to put the ball in his hands a little bit, not only would you create big plays with him making plays, but he could create opportunities for others. It's very important that he's able to get back on the field because they're going to need to be able to score a couple of touchdowns in the passing game to win against Incinnati. Alright, Alright, so they gotta get Robinson twenty touches at least on

the ground. They gotta score two touchdowns through the air. That's too. I'm waiting for a couple more from Bucky as this show goes along, but um, it's a lot already for an offense that hasn't been consistent so far. Let's get to the quarterback. You mentioned a moment ago, Bucky. But you know, I asked Gardner today about his pocket presence and how a young quarterback can just learn the

feel of it. He said he always obviously wants to go through all the progressions and then high tail it out of there if he has to to get out of the way and make something happen. It doesn't always go that way. Is that a challenge for young quarterbacks to to feel it, to to learn how to feel it? Or is it something that this comes naturally and how do you work on that? No? I think it's something that you have to work on. But he appears to have like a good feel for Win to flee to

pocket and Win to hang in there. Um, I'm gonna chalk up Thursday night to just kind of being an off moment for him, because it seemed like he was. He was out of source. He was never really comfortable in the pocket. He appeared to leave the pocket before the pocket completely collapsed. Hopefully he's being able to look

at that which has gotten together. They put things in that make him very, very comfortable, because he needs to exhibit the kind of poise that we saw very early in the year when we saw him against Indianapolis and even Tennessee. He was very comfortable. For whatever reason, he

was out of source. He needs to get back to being the guy we saw those first two games, because if he plays at the level that he played at the first two games, the Jaguars are more than capable of winning and winning against any of your poet, John, would you take away from Gardner's conversation today? A not a lot, because really, when Gardner talks during the week, I think he intentionally doesn't say very much. He's got the image and he's a great guy. The brand is fantastic,

but he's a smart quarterback. He doesn't say very much during conference calls by design. Uh. I think what I've taken away from the last a few days and even that game Thursday, you know, the the zone coverage on him, the soft zone that we all get tired of talking about. You know, it's a concern. I don't know that it's it's a I think he can't overcome, but it's got to be something to watch. It has worked against him before work the other night. Doesn't mean you can't overcome it.

But until that thing gets passed, until they start beating it consistently, they're going to see more of it. I don't think it's the death knell for his career or anything like that, but it's got to be an issue until they're better at it against that. It's funny, John that you brought up that that that soft zone, and the reason why it can be hard for young quarterbacks is because it forces you to make window throws. You have to have the confidence in the conviction to throw

with timing, touch and anticipation. And early in the game Gonna mention was out of source, and so now you don't trust as as much. You're a little late, you get drops from Chris Conney and others. You don't trust your wife receivers, and so now you begin to pat the ball, which allows to pass for us to become a bigger factor. And so yes, when they see it on tape and they see that he is having a tough time being aggress against his zone. He will continue

to see more of it until the competative part. The Bengals defense guys went through an overhaul in this offseason. They threw a lot of money and I got some veterans in there, Bucky. What scares you about this Bengals defense? I would say they played pretty well against the Philadelphia Eagles. They had Carson Wentz out of sorts, and the young guys that were playing in the back end they were doing a really good job. Bates, and we saw Jackson and and those guys that were keeping the ball in front.

They made him uh turn the ball over a couple of times. And whenever you're dealing with the Cincinnati Beings, it always starts up front with Gino Atkins and can you block the guys at the line of scrimmage and so um. They are a team that is competitive and they're trying to get after it and they're desperate or winning.

Just like the Jaguars might have circled this as a we can get this one, the Cincinnati being will certainly circle this one and their players are going to bring the energy, particularly on defense because they think this is a winnable game, especially after walking away with the tie last week. Yeah, they certainly. John think very highly of Atkins. A lot of people think highly of Atkins. He's a fantastic football player, but he can kind of get things

going for that Bengals defense if he's available. Yeah, I'm not sure if he's available or not this week. He's as my friend Jeff Hobson in Cincinnati's senior writer for the Bengals, he's probably a first ballot Hall of Famer, So if he's there, you're obviously in trouble. But they're very good off the edge. Carlos Dunlap is still very good. They really pressured Carson Wentz in a big way last week, and that was surprising because the Eagles have very very

good tackles. They believe they can pressure the quarterback, and this team believe it's pretty good. They had a chance and probably should have beaten the Eagles last week. They've been close. Uh, this is going to be a tough task with the Jaguars offensive line, but I believe the Jaguars offensive line is still its best feature. So um, this will be a game where the Jaguars offense will be tested. It has the tools to pass that test

if the line plays well against his pass rush. The old line played this year, Yeah, the old line played. You bring up Carlos Dunlap the other guy to keep an eye on it. Sam Hubbard. Sam Horbard is a young player that has really kind of come on like gamebusters for them. Very athletic. He has shown up in big moments and he has the ability to kind of take it over at times. He is someone that you have to monitor because he's found his rhythm, he's found

his group. He's someone that can be very, very disruptive in the backfield bucket. The Jags old line up for the challenge, how have they played for you so far? I mean they've been okay, but they haven't been able

to get the game on their turns. Meaning when you're having to drop back thirty five times a game, um, and everyone knows that you're passing, it's hard for them to play what I would like to see them do and playing what I call a neutral game where the score is even, the score is close, they're able to run it and pass it. I think that is what they're built for. They're built to be a team that

kind of pushes people off the ball. They've been okay, like Garna Minshew hasn't been battered in the pocket much. But I would like to see them get the game on their terms. To see if this offensive line can impose their will on the opponent. That would be critical in this game against Incinnati, see if they can seek at Paul Brown Stadium. Yes, John, I'm sorry JP. Ten sacks this year by the Jaguar is allowed. Right. Nine of them have come with the team trailing. That's not

a shock because they've failed most of the year. They gave up four sacks against Miami. All four came with them down by fourteen. No offensive line, I mean, no offensive line can withstand always being down. That's why they're giving up sack. It's not that they're a bad offensive line, right, and I think they've led for a little over five minutes this season. That's that's really about it. The the end of Week one's game against the Colts.

come back in a moment. It's the uniform unveiling. Jimmy Luck joins us, the head equipment manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

You want to us from t I a a bank field after the full Teal game, Jimmy, how did how did it go down there with the we know the result, but what was the response of the full Teal? It was good? I think uh, I think it went over well. Everybody enjoyed the teal. Um. Of course,

not everybody's happy. Everybody wanted teel helmets too. I get beat up on Twitter about that, but but I think it was a good start though. It was all in good fun though. But yeah, now that now that we've kind of got that out of the eight, now we can kind of mix and match a few more things, maybe uh maybe throwing some black socks with a deal and deal. Um, But for the first one, we wanted to you know, go all deal and that was kind

of the the event to a deal out. Jimmy, how about the you know this is is one of those where you'll wear these again the full Teal or is it? Just? Are you gonna mix and match from here on? Uh? As of right now, like we'll we'll probably we'll definitely wear Teal jerseys again and we'll definitely wear Teal pants again. Um, you know, with not a favorable outcome, we may not wear that combination again, even though we will wear combinations that we don't win. But you know, we try to

mix it up. Um. So you know that. Uh, then if you know, you get a good feedback from the guys to like, hey, we're fired up. You know, let's let's wear teal pants today with the black jerseys. Um. So you know, we will get some input from the players, but we try to lay it out ahead of time. But um, you know, if you get a hot combination, now, let's keep rolling with it. Helmets next week. That right, helmets next week. No, not like NFL rules on that. So maybe a couple of weeks down the road, maybe

like about fourteen weeks down the road. It's about for the playoffs. All right, all right, you gotta give the people what they want. I mean, what do you want? Come on, gonna give them what they want? Um. I had a question speaking of league stuff, you know, league rules and all that. I was watching the Bucks Broncos game the other day and both teams had dark jerseys on. The Broncos had their orange and the Bucks had that whatever they're grayish is. It wasn't the red. It wasn't white.

It was like I guess the neutral jersey, Um is it is it? A is the rule against that? There's not really a rule against it to the time. It just doesn't happen because one team wears dark and one team wears light. Um. There's a few teams, obviously the Seahawks and then the New Rams had that kind of light gray as a as like an alternate kind of deal, and they can wear that as a color or as a as a white. Um. I think you know with some of the color rush games a few years ago

where you had the the red and the green. Um, I guess it's the Jets and the Bills maybe. Um. You know, so there's enough contrast in there. Obviously they TV tested so you don't run into the like the color blind stuff. Um. But yeah, no, I think you'll start seeing more of that, especially when there is enough contrast like that. Um. You know, like if I'm trying to think, you know, if if I if we had more of a Dolphins teal it was a little lighter,

we might could pull that off against some teams. But um, for the most part, our teal is considered a dark Jimmy, I haven't I have a question, how's everything going with the helmets, because there was a lot made about the shields, the face shields over the eyes and then over the mouth. What has been the response when the players. Then we've had a couple of games. Um, we don't have a lot of guys wearing it. UM. I know d J. Chark has off and on been with it. Keeling Cole

has been pretty steady with it. Um. Other than that, we hadn't had a whole lot of guys wear very often. We had a bunch of guys try it early. Um with it. With early trying it, you know, it was during training camp. It's still pretty hot here, so it didn't get a great um. You know, guys just kind of got all kind of paranoid about it getting too hot. Um. We even have guys have a hard time wearing advisors here just because it's so hot and humid early in

the year. So um. You know, obviously, with some of the events that happened this past weekend, maybe they'll be an uptick. Uh. Temperature is cooling off a little bit, so you might see a few more. But we just and from talking to other people around the lead, you just hadn't had a huge traction in it. Um, you know,

it's something different that close to your face. You know, some guys think it it throws them off, but um, you know that's that's something that they just have to decide on their own if they want to do it or not. Interesting. Yeah, and yeah, that's a good point, Jimmy, about what happened with the Titans and how those results might affect the way guys approach a week to week their helmet combination. So let's get to it. The start

of back to back road games coming up. The Jags this week are facing the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. Jimmy Luck, what will the Jaguars wear this Sunday? All right, So we're going with the white the white jerseys h Tyler effort. They're kind of going back to where he came from. So we got the white jerseys and then we will go with the white pants like seven minute ago. You know, we we we

wanted that. So let's try to run up back, gets some good mojo back and get that going and then maybe we'll wear it the next couple of road trips. Right, Those are clean, Those are clean full whites. Well not just not that ever make decisions based on my workload, but like it's playing on turf, that's nice, it's not grass, um, so there shouldn't be a whole lot of staining on there. But that's a bonus I get. I get lucky every

now and then. For sure. Yes, first of all, there's no other reason to make a decision other than helping your workload. Be I ask Jimmy, would there ever be a case where you just got sort of passive aggressive the other team wanted to wear white. You show up on the road and say, oh, well, all we've got is our white jersey, and how much trouble would you be in? Have you ever thought about that, just sort

of forcing their hand with that. Um, Now there we there's a lot of coordination that goes on, so that doesn't happen. UM. It's probably been about ten years, maybe even longer. And longer ago than that that there was an incident where somebody showed up um had the wrong uniform and the visit they were the visiting team. Octously, they didn't have another set, so the home team had to change what color they were gonna wear since they

were actually at home. Um, but like I said, I coordinate with their quim a guy just to double check. The league send us a grid soon as everybody declares, so we know well in advance what we're supposed to wear. Uh. College, you can get a little bit more tricky on that. But with the NFL, we've got so many rules and regulations, and I'm sure somebody will get fired if if they were to do that, or at least find very heavily it costs us to lose a draft pick. Oh yeah,

that would not be good for anybody's health. Um. All right, Hey, the White Unwhite this week, the Jags and the Bengals coming up. Jimmy, well done? Is always Let's get a w from banks of the Ohio River. How about it? I forget it. I'll bring back some oh yet perfect. I was gonna ask for that too. Montgomery and Ribs, bring a racket oze back with you too, That would be nice. Back back in a pullman, we'll get into

Bucky Brooks, John Ozer. Jaguars Happy Hour continues Quick Scouts view Bucky from third Are from Monday Night my days are all messed up after Thursday Night football last week from Monday night is the best game, think the best matchup that we had of any game going into the any game this season so far in the NFL. Mahomes versus Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes just put on another show. I think a lot of people picked the Ravens in that game. I think the whole ESPN pregame crew picked

the Ravens to win in that game. But Patrick Mahomes does what Patrick Mahomes does, another four touchdown game and it's it's it's becoming difficult to find adjectives to describe his play. He's that good. He's an unbelievable player JP. I think he just continues to improve and he's in the right situation. He has a great quarterback developer and Andy Reid Eric b Enemy as an offensive coordinator. They do creative things. They surrounded him with five star talents

all over the field. Uh Tyree Heel, Travis Kelsey, Sammy watch is Nkole Hartman shows up and then they draft Clyde. It was at large, which is even fair that you can have a running back who can do the things that he can do out of the backfield, and so Patrick Mahomes, the game is very, very easy for him. He has outstanding boys, boys that I think is beyond his his years of experience in the National Football League,

and so he just guessed it. And then when you combine all of those trades that he's displayed, leadership, intelligence, athleticism, with an arm that en neighbors him to throw the ball completely out of the stadium, I don't know how you defend this offense because the play caller, the playmaker,

the supporting cast is all outstanding. Man. When they talked this dynasty talk coming out about Kansas City, when you see him playing these big games, you kind of have to say, yeah, I can see it happening before in front of our eyes. Yeah, they've got so many playmakers, John, And you know, everything's going well for Mahomes. He's Super Bowl Champion, the m v P of the Super Bowl, already has a regular season MVP under his belt two years ago. He's a part owner of the Kansas City Royals.

He's got a huge contract of the off season, he's engaged to be married. Now they're pregnant. It's like everything's going great for pasor Mahomes right now, Joe, Yeah. I mean it's hard. It's hard to find flaw remember uh Mitch album great columnists for Detroit Free Press back in the day once wrote a column that he wanted to be Ron Darling for a day, the great Mets pitcher, good looking guy attorney. Wouldn't anybody love to be Patrick Mahomes for a day? He's got it all right there.

I have a I have a question for Bucky though. Any concern on the other side about Lamar Jackson's game the other night? I know he's the m v P. Was there anything film wise that people are gonna do to mimic that or was that just circumstantial? No? I mean I think you have to be concerned because what has happened. He's only three against the kan City Chiefs.

Some of that is the kann City Chiefs just have their number match from a matchup standpoint, just not a great matchup for the Baltimore Raves and how they play on both sides of the ball. I think the thing that's concerning concerning in terms of how Lamar Jackson responded, Steve Spagnola did a great job of bringing pressure and coming after him, forcing him to make quick decisions and seeing if he could be on his game, and it threw him off because most teams don't attack him like that.

They read and react and they kind of let him dictate the terms the Keen City Chiefs flipped at. Also another thing that shows up that is concerning Greg Roman has a tendency in these games, these big games, UH playoffs, and whenever they play the Chiefs, he loses his his focus in terms of we are a running team. We

beat people because we run the football. We pounded and they became a very past centric team on Monday Night and that is not how they play, and so even when the game gets away from them early, they still need to stick to their style. I think the bigger thing that I'm concerned about is in a big game in the playoffs, which Lamar Jackson shows up better? Yet,

which play called which Greg Roman shows up? Because the one that we have seen for most of the regular season the last two years didn't show up on Monday Night. It's a great game and certainly a great win for the Kansas City Chiefs, and they're gonna be hard to slow down. Moving ahead time now for big game Jaguar will pick our Jaguar players to have a big game in Cincinnati in Week four, Bucky Brooks get us score. So I'm gonna go with Garner Minshew. I think Gardner

Minshew has to bounce back. He has to get up off the mat. We saw him have an outstanding performance I guess the Tennessee Titans, and I think we want to see more of that. He has to curb to turnovers and that the negative plays, because that puts the offense in a hole. But if he just distributes the ball and just kind of plays within this offense, he's certainly good enough as a distributor to get them to the winner circle. I didn't want to see him have

a big game against Cincinnati. Gardner Minshew is the selection for Bucky Brooks. John Osier. Who you're going with? No way for the graphic pop up because I've drawn, Okay, I for I was gonna go with Chart, and I debated back and forth, and I couldn't remember who I told you I wanted. Uh, I'm gonna go with Effort for sort of the obvious reason. He's going home Cincinnati. I also think that with Chart being back, the Bengals are going to guard against that. They're gonna be trying

to take away Chart. Frankly, Iffort right now feels like the guy who's the best option for being the second option in the offense. Chennault is going to be at thumb point. I don't know that he's advanced enough as a receiver to be Minshoe's go to if Chart is taken away. Effort showed the flash for a touchdown against Tennessee. I don't really worry about the going back to Cincinnati stuff, but he's got the experience, he knows how to get open.

I'm going Tyler Eiffort as the big game Jaguar with to count him to touchdown resect not one but twoown receptions for Tyler Eiffort, says John Ozer. I'm gonna go with defense here, and this is a game they need on the defensive side, and it's a game for Josh Allen to really really get in that stat column with some pass rush this week. You know, it's it's an offensive line and an offense, and Cincinnati has given up

fourteen sacks, the most in the league. Eight of those were last week for the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Eagles hit him eighteen times in that game. Now, mind you, obviously the Eagles have some big time names on that defensive line, Fletcher Cox, Malik Jackson just to name a couple of them. But they did it all day long. Al Burrow got up and he's a tough guy and he's gonna go through and and play through that kind

of thing and not let it rattle him. But it feels like it was more than just a one game situation for the Cincinnati offense. So the Jags, if they can find a way to to play a little better in the secondary, play a little tighter, they could give that front a little more time. So Josh Allen I think has a day at least two sacks, not one, but at least two secs in the game for Josh Allen,

pressure all day on Joe Burrow. That's my selection. So Menshoe for Bucky Ifort, p Rosher Allen for Shadrack Blucky. How about your final thoughts for the game? What's your field this week? Is gonna come out fast? This has to be an opportunity for them to lick their wounds. They were embarrassed on Thursday night. I would expect to see a much better effort from the Jaguars. Maybe it was a case where they were taking the minister the

Miami Dolphins lightly. I think the Cincinnati Bugles get their full attention, and because of that, I think we see the Jaguars played their best game today. Are you calling a win by this is a lot? I guarantee I can't take Charles Barkley's thing, but I guarantee you doub this week. Okay, back to two and too, you know I I think they'll play better. I think they'll play well enough to win. And it's gonna sound crazy because the Bengals were what one in fifteen last years strong.

But the Bengals side of it scares me for the Jaguars. I mean, I think Jaguars could play better and this Bengals team feels ready. I'm gonna pick the Jags because I don't want to argue with Bucky. He's kind of got the got the muscle on this show. But it worries me that it feels like the Bengals are about to break out. The Jaguars could play well and still not win this game, and I'm gonna go with the Jags thirty seven to thirty four. Oh a lot of scoring in the game is not quite ready to show

back up. But okay, we'll take the wind with a game defensive effort. Okay, I like that. In moments when they need it, they'll come and play defense. According to John oser, I like it. So they have it, that'll do. It's a lock for Bucky Brooks, is a lock for Johnny O. The Jags going on the road this week to face the Cincinnati Bengals. Bucky, we will talk to you in the post game after the game this Sunday.
