Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida. JP
Shadrick and former Jaguar Jeff Logoman sit down each week
with the decision makers of your Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We're going to bring you a product that you all
can be prouder with.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That game on jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida,
starts right now.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
This is Jaggs HQ on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented
by the University of Florida, number one university and the
US News and World Reports number one state for education.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
JP Shadrick with you.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Jeff Logman on assignment tonight in London. John Oser is
in with us, as is GM James Gladstone and EVP
Tony Boselli. We're at the grove, We're in the library
and the manor house and here we are back in London.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
John, thanks for stepping in.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Appreciate good see.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
I get that you have to say, next man up,
but this may be one injury you can't overcome. Losing Logs.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah, it's a lot, it is.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
It is. Some might go after this week point.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Some might say it's the highest rate to show in
the history of the spike of HQ.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, there's a spike going on right now here. We
are in London, Tony. We've done this a million times, yeah,
a million and one right now and but a different
role for you.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
The operation's done it all over the place too. We've
done it in pubs, we've done it remotely, we've done
it here. So this is fun.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, back again, James, you're first with the Jaguars. Did
you come with the Rams back in the day or no?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
You know what did tap in for our time with
the Rams? A couple of different stops in terms of
which hotel was that. But yeah, I got a chance
to come here to the Grove once before, and so
it's not uncharted territory.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
How was the the operation getting over here, Tony and
the whole week here at the Grove? The staff here
at the hotel is fantastic, but the operations behind it,
you know, your first opportunity running that part of this organization.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, I didn't get in the way, so it worked.
I think listen, we've had we have a great group
and they do a great job in each department getting
everyone over here. It's it's obviously a big it's a
big move we bring everything from Jacksonville here to London,
and you got to do it quickly. It actually starts
(02:17):
in the off season.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
We start prepping for this in the spring, and then
in the summer we start shipping stuff over here. Hamza
and his team does a great job of making sure
the flights, hotels, transportation, Mindy with and Jackie with all
the nutrition and food and and then that doesn't even
speak to the actually having being ready to play a
football game, which you got a video and equipment, supporting
(02:42):
our supporting our coaches and players and making sure we
can get on the field. It's full time. And and
then at the same time, the front office, which James
in the personnel department, has to keep on operating, and
so we move that whole operation as well here to London.
And the great thing is we haven't missed a beat.
(03:02):
It's been you know, seamless. Everyone's working long hours and
making sure that everything that we need to do to
make sure we can compete on Sunday, be ready to
win a football game, but also prepare for the future.
People can do their jobs and do them well.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh you gotta love it. Post game on Sunday, being
able to work through art. Have there been any injuries,
Are there any injuries that we need to make an
adjustment to our roster immediately, And knowing that we got
roughly a twenty four hour shot clock before we take off,
and you know, we ended into our operation staff to
be able to you know, get guys in and out efficiently,
(03:41):
to be able to be a part of our flight
over or even another who joined us from all the
way on the West Coast, across country in the United
States and then across the Pond and was able to
get out for practice yesterday. So it's been a full
speed ahead type of operation. But certainly gotta give a
ton of credit to our group for making it as
(04:02):
seamless as possible.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Real quick on that. I mean, we were on the
plane taking off and getting ready to take off and
James came to me and says, hey, we got an
opportunity to go get international player on practice squad and
who just.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Would probably has a passport that's.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
He's not British, not British German.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Okay, so can you get back into the United States
if you were to come over and practice for the
week versus waits the United States for our return so you.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Know, so we James dropped down on Hommes and the
ops team said, hey, go figure it out, and as
we're taking off, and I don't know how they did it,
but next thing we know, uh, he's here with us.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Do most players around the league have to have passports? Now?
Is that.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
Limit your you know availability?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
There was one year where I think we signed a
guy off of Cincinnati practice squad in Cincinnati and then
but his passport was in Connecticut. Yeah, and though he
had to go to conne to get separately and then
medice over here later. And that's the situation.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
But that and that's the whole thing too. I mean,
leading up to it, you have to make sure that
you have all the players passports, and our coaches and
I don't know how it's been a years past, but
this year one or two can't locate them sure, and
so next thing you know, you're on rush and you're
trying to flip and get a new passport before we
(05:24):
have to leave. Now, again, our team does a great
job of thinking ahead and not waiting till the last second,
and so there's plenty of time to go through these
things and making sure everyone's prepared, and then it takes
also some patience because as much as you want everything
to be perfect and seamless, you know. So today's NFL
is a lot of technology of what we're doing with
all the data that we're capturing, our coaches are using
(05:46):
those that data, our sports science are medical. I didn't
talk about all the work that Ferg and his team
have to do to get our trainers and making sure
we can take care of our players here, and so
all that has to happen. It's a large a lot
of stress on technology, so we have people working long hours,
(06:07):
and then the patients of our coaches and our players
understanding that instead of something happening immediately, it might have
to take a breath and we'll get things going as
we go. And everyone's been great, and it's really a
hats off to the whole organization.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Tony Vaselli James Gladstone with us on Jags. HQ will
dig into this matchup coming up on the field, the
Rams and the Jaguars. But James, your entire career has
been with the La Rams, starting as a senior assistant
to the GM and twenty sixteen director of Scouting Strategy
for a number of years up until last year. What
are your emotions this week when you're facing a team
(06:43):
that you've worked for your entire career.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Oh, you know, there's a lot of respect for the
la Rams, the organization, the people that are still there
that I sort of learned the industry through. I know
that there's a lot that I have to credit to
them as it relates to me even being granted the
opportunity to fill this role. Well, at the same time
(07:06):
knowing that, look, the significance of every game is real,
doesn't matter who the opponent is.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
I know, you can look at our players.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
There have been plenty who have come from a different organization,
so it's no different in this instance for me.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
We're focused on ourselves.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's where we're rooting our minds, and that's been the
case since we started this season. I know we certainly
talked through the idea of our upcoming opponents who are
some of the game wreckers those types of things. But
you know, following this last matchup versus Seattle, we wanted
to reimage the way we were approaching this week and
(07:41):
make sure that the focus turned inward. And that's where
I've been placing my thoughts, my mind, and you know,
I don't think we can look past the significance of
a game in London, right, we got an opportunity to
represent the Jacksonville Jaguars on a global stage, and I
think that's what carries a little bit more weight than
anything at this point.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
The is it really rams. But it sounds like you
want to talk about the rams too much, so I'll
go another direction. The decision to come over early, I
talk about that and how much of a positive has
it been.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, I think that actually was a conversation we worked
through in the early portion of the summer. Obviously, there's
going to be a lot of legwork if you are
going to come over early to tee this all up,
and you know, we work through a number of the
performance related aspects before anything and making it so that hey,
we're going to root this and the idea of what
can we do to best prepare ourselves to win the
(08:37):
game on Sunday and beyond that, you start thinking, all right,
if getting there sooner is actually what you would say
is the best course of action, what are some of
the added bonuses that come with that? Well, we're all
going to be under the same roof for an extended
period of time. We're going to be at a point
in the season where the identity is starting to show
itself and we need to capitalize on whatever momentum we
(08:59):
might have behind it, knowing that we're going to separate
for a bye week immediately after that. So I think
a couple of those elements certainly stand out. Liam was
the one who ultimately made the decision on which course
of action would be best, and Tony and I did
what we could support him through that decision making process
and share our perspectives, but certainly happy at this point
(09:21):
as it relates to how things have unfolded.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
James Gladstone, Tony Boselli with us. We're back in a
moment and we will dig into this matchup at Wembley
under the Arch for the eleventh time the Jaguars at
Wembley Stadium, fourteenth Jaguars game all time in London coming
up this Sunday, and this is JAG's HQ on the
Jaguars Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Welcome Back Jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
right now.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
We are back from just outside of London ahead of
this Week seven match up at Wembley Stadium as the
Jaguars entertained the Los Angeles Ram. The Jaguars seven and
six all time in London games. Welcome Back at Shaggs HQ,
presented by Fresh from Florida, JP Shadwick with you, Jeff
Logman on assignment tonight. John Oser is in with us,
(10:13):
as is Tony Boselli and James Gladstone from the Grove
in the library of the Manor House ahead of the
Rams Jaguars matchup. And let's start with this Rams offense
and the Jaguars defense this week, And obviously it starts
with Matthew Stafford over sixty thousand passing yards, ninth now
in league history, surpassed Dan Marino last week for ninth
(10:35):
on the list. And he's seen it all kind of
different ways. You were there when he was brought in.
So is he's still obviously he's leading the league in
passing yards this year.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He's still got juice in him, There's no doubt.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Cold blood, and you know he's got ice in the veins.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And there are a few quarterbacks that are built the
way he is still in existence. And you know, I
think it's fair to say that he's got a couple
guys on the perimeter that can help him out quite
a bit, obviously, you know, with a couple of those
names being Puka and Davante, and really right now, that
whole crew is leading the league and receptions and yards
(11:11):
for receivers, and you know, it's it's not going to
be some easy feat to be able to, you know,
step across from those guys. But I think our crew
is putting together a great point and you know, our
players are are certainly ready and and jacked about the
op But you know, across the board, even as you
look at their backfield, they got a workhorse back in
(11:32):
Kyron Williams that they really rely heavily on in all
all phases, and and upfront they got some veterans, and
you know, I think throughout the course of the season
they've already had to rely on a few different moving
pieces and starting lineup. So still working through some kinks
on that front, but nonetheless, it's going to be a
fun challenge for our defensive front to be able to
(11:52):
try and get after him, create some pressures and allow
our defensive backfield to you know, hunt the ball and
try and poke that thing out as much as possible
create some of those turnovers that we were used to
in the first quarter of the season. And I know
that there will certainly be opps and we'll try and
take advantage of them when they present itself.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Yeah, I mean, I think if you look at Matthew Stafford,
you have to impact him. You have to get him
moving off his spot. I mean, James talked about it.
He's a I don't want to say a dying bree,
but the like he's an old school sit there in
the face of rush, will not flinch and can make
every throw known to mankind and is accurate. And so
(12:31):
the only way you get guys like that off their
game a little bit because he's seen it all, is
you got to hit him. You got to try to
get him off his spot a little bit and see
if there's any way you can make a guy who
is rarely uncomfortable uncomfortable. And I think so it's a
great challenge to our front and getting after it. And
then I think we have to take advantage of the
(12:52):
turnover opportunities while they're there. We did that the first
five games. We had two chances at turnovers. Against the Seahawks,
we dropped one interset and another one floated in the air,
and we didn't react maybe as quickly as you'd like
to see. So the ball fell and those but those
are opportunities that they're going to be there, and our
defense does such a great job of creating chaos and
(13:12):
and creating those opportunities. We've got to make sure we
take advantage of them when they're there, because guys like
Matthew Stafford aren't gonna make a lot of mistakes. They're
just such he's such a good such a good player.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He's just like Medusa. Don't look at those eyes, you
know what I mean. That's oh, yeah, well there's a book.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
In here.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, but it was, yeah, that's don't look at those
things because they'll take you the wrong direction.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
I'll take you someplace you don't want to be.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
And he's such an underrated great player, uh and so
poised Bucky Brooks in our Head podcast yesterday, talked about
his ability to step up when necessary, but manage the
game when necessary, and it just spoke to me of
the control of the situation he has as a sixteen
and seventeen year guy who's seen everything.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, there's a mastery of the system for sure, and
obviously that Tony had mentioned, he's seen it all. He
is in full control, and even when you feel like
there's a dull series two series back to back, he
can strike at any moment, and there's no way that
you can begin to press the snooze button, so to speak,
when facing him.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Not to scare everyone too much, but I mean, I
even think about last year in the playoff game, which
was a loss against the Eagles, but that was a
game if you watch Matthew Stafford operate under extreme pressure.
I remember watching that game the whole time of like
the Eagles is gonna walk away with this at some
point because of the pressure and the chaos they were
creating on defense, And you just watched them sit in
(14:44):
the midst of just chaos, in a storm, coming in
his face, making one throw after another. And I remember
watching the game just amazed that a guy. I mean,
you know he has the talent. But John, I think
what you said is true. He's truly more of the
great all time quarterbacks. That doesn't probably get mentioned enough,
but if you watch him play in those moments, you
(15:05):
realize that he's a dangerous man.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
How important is Pooka critical.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
After five games he had over fives over close and.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Like the best receiver in football right now, he.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Is on track to set the record for guardage.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yes, the NFL, I'd tell that is one thing to
look for sure.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
That much because Cooper cup was so good and then
it stepped right in. How is he different?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I think in a few ways, he's not the same
type of precision that Cooper played with h He's also
a bit more dense than Cooper, and some of the
rebounding capabilities tilt and and Puka's favor. But I do
know that Cooper made such a dent on who Pooka
now is as it related to that that first year
(15:56):
of onboarding, when when Cooper spent an off season rehab,
Pooka got a ton of reps and it was the
mental aspect of plays, positioning, leverage, all the nuances that
Cooper had innately developed on his own but continued to
refine throughout his pro career that he was sharing that
(16:18):
wisdom with Pooka, and Pooka did his part in absorbing
that and applying it, and it certainly helped with an
accelerated sort of production in those early years. But now
he's had a chance to tap into some of DeVante's wisdom.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
And leverage that.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
But he is a very challenging receiver to stop because
that inter immediate game is something that you know, they
really take advantage of.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
One final Jags defensive thought here, Devin Lloyd didn't make
the trip, So Ventrel Miller's gonna step in. And then
how difficult is what Trayvon Walker's trying to do playing
with the club right now?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Oh, that dude is a beast. You know, it's not
an easy thing to do. I can tell you what.
We're now just over fourteen days removed from surgery, so
he'll still be in a club this next week by
week help in terms of freeing some of those fingers
up for the game after. But at this point in time,
he's dealing with plenty of pain, trying to figure out
(17:17):
how to best use that in shedding blocks and creating
some moves as a rusher, getting more familiar with that.
It's not uncharted territory. It had done in college and
even at high school. But nonetheless, each time that you
put it back on, you're still getting a little bit
of a feel for how to best utilize that limb.
But Yeah, that's not an easy thing to do with Devin.
(17:38):
It's tough when he's playing such good ball to potentially
slow down that momentum that's behind his back, I know
is something that popped up for him and between him.
Coaching staff felt like in game that it made the
most sense to take a step back and let Ben
Treel get a run.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Feeling good, and Ventrel showed up. You know, he was
part of a half sack that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Was a big moment in the game, and he'd been
doing a great job on special teams and our coaching
staff doesn't have any fear heading into this one, especially
off the heels of Ventrel stepping in to a game
against an opponent who was really putting a lot of
priority on the running game and wasn't able to find
solid footing in that phase.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
And a big part of it was because of Ventrel's impact.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Tony, I watched you play through stuff when you played.
How impressive was what Trayvon' said.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Oh, I think it speaks to who he is and
his desire and his love for the game of football
and the type of competitor he is. And I think
the good news is you watched them operate against Seattle
and you could tell a little bit that he was
still feeling his way through, but played solid, good, good
strong football. Watching him today in our full padded practice,
(18:46):
you could see it he's even kind of evolving and
becoming more natural. I thought he had a really good
day to day and it didn't jump out that it
was impacting his rush in what he was trying to do.
So I think what you're gonna see is he's a
guy that as a high pain tolerance at say it least,
He's built different and I think he'll go out and
(19:07):
play a great game, and I think he'll do He's
just gonna get more and more confident with it and
confident that confidence will produce even better play than we
saw in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
All right, guys, we'll come back in a moment. We'll
take a look at the Rams defense and this offensive
matchup for the Jags this week and get some final
thoughts ahead of the Rams Jaguars matchup at Wembley Stadium
in London. It's Jaggs HQ on Jaguars Radio.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Welcome Back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
right now.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
J P.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Shadwick, but John Ozier, Tony Basselli and James Gladstone with
us from the Grove just outside of London.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It is Jaggs HQ.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And the Jags and the Rams coming up to Sunday
at Wembley Stadium.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
All right, let's get into this.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
The Jaguars offensive matchup this week against the Rams defense,
and let's start up front offensive line. Robert Hainsey's on
the injury report was limited on Wednesday. Was back out
there a little bit on Thursday as well. It seems
like that's moving ahead in the proper direction. But last
week couple of illegal formations, some issues pre snap again
(20:24):
on offense, there was an offensive off side and James
you talked about it. It's kind of all about the
Jaguars right now. And on the offensive side, it kind
of begins with the controllables and not getting behind.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
The chains, no, and that's where a lot of the
focus falls, right.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
We have talked about toughness being a pillar of our team,
and we're not just talking about physical toughness. We're talking
about mental toughness. And the physical element has been such
a point of emphasis today and this is a week
where we're not separating from that but we are applying
(21:00):
thought to the mental toughness and that's discipline, right, that
ties into a lot of these pre snap blunders or
issues or penalties.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
So it certainly got to see an improvement there.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But that's where a focus is fallen, and I know
Robert is somebody that certainly helps to quiet a lot
of that because he's such a cerebral player.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We talked about Matthew and having mastery of that offense.
Robert has mastery of this offense. It's not his first
go round in it. You know, anytime you're going through
something for the first time, it's going to be a
bit challenging, and that's what I know our group is experiencing.
But he certainly helps to alleviate some of those issues
along the way. And I think with him set to play,
(21:44):
that should be added value as it relates to our
upcoming opponent.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
The strength of their defense.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Is across from rol It's not all that different than
Seattle in terms of where the best part of their
defense falls, and so I think that that'll be a
fun outing and I know it always gets somebody like
Tony Biselli jacked up to see some of these good
rushers right. Those are the games where you know you're
building yourself up for the for the matchup on Sunday
(22:11):
as the week progresses.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
But it should be a fun one, Tony.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
How good are these drushers?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
They're good players. I mean they're young Byron Young. He's
a guy who's gonna make it. Has all kinds of
athletic ability you can get on your edge, has enough
power to threaten, you know, but really he wants to
make life miserable on your edge. And then you got
the probably the exact opposite and Jared Verse, who is
going to start trying to run right through your face.
(22:39):
And he has elite power and then uses his power
to work edges because he starts getting players leaning, lunging
in out of sorts. And so they're both very good players,
and you gotta got like Fisk inside, You got to
put them forward. Another big guy who's been revitalized later
in his career. But I go back to what we've
(23:01):
been talking about. It it's really more about us. This
is an offensive line that going into Seattle was performing
at a very high level and has a lot of pride.
They went into Seattle and did not perform the way
that any of us were, especially them, wanted to and
so I think it's a little bit of hey, bring
whoever you're going to bring, But we just want to
(23:23):
get back on the field, to get back to who
we are and that's a physical, tough, control the line
of scrimmage group and have a lot of confidence those
guys excited that Haines didn't come back. But at the
same time, I think it's fair to say that Monheim
did a very good job coming in as a rookie.
Was he played solid, he played good football and so
(23:44):
but always getting your veteran back and one of the
leaders of that group back on the field's and be good.
But it's going to take five guys working together, having
a game plan, understanding what's coming, but take You have
to take the fight to them. If you sit back
and get in awe of great pass rushers, the name
on the jersey and what they've done in the past,
(24:05):
they deserve all the credit in the world. At the
same time, you have to have some pride in what
you've accomplished up to this point the season and who
you are and take the fight to them. And I
think we will. I think we'll perform well and looking
forward to those guys rebounding a little bit back on
the field and restating what they were the first five
weeks of the season and showing the rams of this league,
(24:29):
all our fans saying, hey, that was an outlier last week.
This is who we are.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
I've been hitting this all week. But when you have
seven penalties to take you back to ten yards or more,
it's hard to pass block against that sometimes, And when
you're not running, how important is it to not get
in those situations?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
You can't get behind the chains, and it's great pass rushers,
that's what they want, and that's everybody. And so that
comes back to lining up right. We had a couple
where Anton Harrison lined up off the ball. Cannot do that.
He's too good of a player. Number one, he's the
one guy that does not need to cheat the line
of scrimmage because he is so athletic. That is his superpower.
(25:11):
And so that's a mental lapse and he's got to
clean that up and he knows it. And so you
hurt yourself by getting behind the sticks. And now all
of a sudden you're playing right into their game. Because
we want to run the ball, we want to win
on first down, getting good second downs. Worst case there
we're in a third and very manageable situation where you
can play action pass run is still in play. That's
how you take pass rushers out.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Of the game.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
And so it's all eleven, including the quarterback. You know,
I think Trevor would go back and tell you, like
sitting and looking at that game again, it's like, hey,
maybe I could have done a better good job to
help our guys out, our receivers, winning into the line
of scrimmage, getting open fast, running crisp, precise routes so
that the ball can be delivered on time backs, making
(25:55):
sure we're chipping, picking up the blitz so as an
offensive line, and we know at the end of the day,
when if there's seven sacks and the quarterback gets hit
as much as he did, we are going to get blamed,
as we should. It's our responsibility. But when you are
honest and look at it, it's an operation that takes
eleven individuals to keep a quarterback clean, and so we's
(26:19):
got to do a better job from pre snap staying
ahead of the chains. Liam is very conscious of it.
Call how we call plays, how we attack their defense
and try not to put our guys in situations that
are hard, because let me tell you what, I don't
care how good you are. You line up in too
many third lungs against great pass rushers, it could be
(26:40):
very well be a long day.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Thirty years of writing, JP, I rarely write that the
offense gave up sacks. You aluys right, that's.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Not true, but that's part of it and everyone understands that.
But John, you know this. It is eleven guys working together,
ball out on time, good routes ol doing that. Our
job backs, making sure they're chipping if they can before
they get out their call to pick up the blitz.
We have some issues. We had an issue where we
(27:08):
had a clean blitzer. It shouldn't happen. Those are all
different things that we can clean up and do better
to give Trevor a little bit more comfort back there,
to find our playmakers down the field.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
James and I was covering Tony. He told me more
than once that it was not just the offensive line.
Didn't get that's not true.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I was thinking, but I never said it out loud.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Love it Rams, Jaguars Wimbley, Sunday, nine thirty am Eastern.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Good luck gentlemen, let's get a win under the arch.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
That's what we're here to do. Yeah, the reason that
come all the way over here and not win.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
We're not going to talk special teams.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Oh we can't.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
We got the three phases in.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Okay, we got special.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
We got to make our points. We had opportunities. Four
points we left on the board.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
You miss you miss kicks.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I mean, look for business. How critical the end of halfway?
If we go back, we got a ten to six game,
it's ten six wide because we missed an extra point, right,
so that's one point. We then do a good job
at then a half, have a blunder, go backwards a
little bit, but have a fifty yard field goal which
(28:17):
Cam can make in a sleep. He's an outstanding field
goal kicker. We miss that. They now have outstanding field
position and they go get three. So that's a six point.
You have the missed extra point. That's a seven point
difference of points that we should have had and taken
away from them in the first half. What does it
(28:38):
feel like if you if you swing that in that
kind of game, in that it feels like.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Their complimentary element of this.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Right, we were on the twenty nine yard line and
we end up having a false start. We then have
a sack two yard gain and then a sack right.
So it was a challenging window of plays that were
strung together that four fifty longer feelable so that it's
not all on him, just like a sacks, not all
on the Oh. Well, now I will as we're looking forward,
(29:10):
this is going to be an interesting kickoff that we're
facing because these guys are able to kick a knuckleball
pretty effectively. So if you want to go ahead and
look back at some of the teams that they faced
and how those returners have performed in those instances, we've
we've got to be on our p's and q's here
and make sure that we can field these things cleanly.
(29:32):
And that's a real play these days, you know, it's
not something that you can just overlook.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
So we're looking forward to that up as well.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Yeah, I'll end with this. I think everything we've talked
about it comes back to we have. It has to
start with us. If we focus on playing good, clean football,
eliminate the controllable pendelties that you talked about, JP, play
good complimentary football across all three phases, then we can
(29:58):
live with whatever the outcome is. The ones that are
hard to live with is when you beat yourself, when
you have penalties that are mental airs, alignment issues, so
on and so forth that lead to negative yardage behind
the sticks that you do the basics, things that you
do day in and day out not well and you
(30:19):
end up losing a game because of that. Those are
hard to live with. And so I think the focus
this week going into this game, James hit on it.
We want to be a tough team. We pride ourselves
and being tough, but that is not just physical toughness,
it's mental toughness. So being a disciplined football team. If
we go out wimbley against an outstanding organization lots of
(30:41):
instagrams been in the Super Bowl multiple times under Sean
McVay of one to one Hall of Fame quarterback on
the other side of the field. But we can go
out and take care of ourselves and play tough football
physically and mentally. We'll live with whatever the scoreboard says
at the end.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Tony James for the time, as always, enjoy mister London
over here, BISSELLI, He'll.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Show you the way, James.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
I'm just here for the ride.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Baby, Thanks guys, Tony Boselli, James Gladstone with US plenty
more ahead.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
This is jags HQ.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Welcome Back. Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues right.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Now and we are on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented
by the University of Florida, number one university in the
US News and World Reports, number.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
One state for education.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
J P. Shadwick with John Osher from the grove just
outside of Watford, northwest of London, home base for the
Jaguars this week ahead of the matchup at Wembley this Sunday,
the Rams and the Jags, the fourteenth London game all
time for the Jaguars, the eleventh at Wembley.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Our thanks to Tony BISSELLI, James.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Gladstone and yeah, I mean it's all about the Jags
this week. They keep saying that's been the theme around
here and even asking James about his old team. He
don want to go too deep into some of the
history there, but certainly on his mind. But there's there's
a lot to be worked on here for the Jags team.
Better to work on it for and two let's start
with that. I mean, no matter the result, it's a
(32:15):
winning record coming out of this week. However, as Tony
just referenced John, if you can control things that you're
supposed to, they feel like they're good enough to match
up with anybody in the league.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Yeah. Look, I feel like they're a good team. I mean,
I don't know that they are a great team yet.
I think they're a building toward being a great team.
It happens this year, next year, whatever, but you can
feel the difference and you can feel the overall the discipline,
the discipline of the organization. I thought the best quote
(32:48):
this week was when Liam talked about they have their
meeting where they find game wreckers, said, the reality is
we've been our game wreckers. I think over the course
of the season they are going to be the more
physical and a discipline team over seventeen games. When you're
playing seventeen NFL games, you're gonna have some dips, You're
(33:10):
gonna have some stuff in games where what you want
to do doesn't happen. You have to go back and
fix it. So I think this is an incredible opportunity
to go get stuff right that you didn't do well
last week. And unlike some cases where when you get
stuff right, you're like, well, yeah, but who are we playing.
If you can get penalties and the offensive line right
(33:32):
against the Rams, you're gonna feel really good about it
coming out. And I think that's that will determine if
they go into the fourth quarter having a chance to win.
I think if they don't do those things, you could
be doing what you did last week, which is facing
uphill all fourth quarter where you didn't feel like you
were in it. I think they can be in this
game if they play well.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
And obviously the earlier in the season, this is a
team that didn't really trail much. I mean they were
heading games and that changes the whole dynamic of things.
Let's come back, John and get into this head coaching matchup.
Sean McVay, Liam Cohen pair a thirty nine year old.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
It's going out, It's right, that's right, Sean still thirty nine.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
We'll dig into that when we come back.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
This is Jags HQ on Jaguars Radio.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Welcome Back Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
right now.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
We are back JP Shadwick with John Ozer from the
Grove just outside of London headquarters for the Jaguars. This
week it is Jags HQ or thanks to Tony Bacelli
and James Gladstone head coaching matchup this week between the
Rams and the Jaguars. Familiar faces. Sean McVay, of course said,
fantastic success with the La Rams. Liam Cohen was under
(34:50):
McVay with the Rams a couple of different stints in
LA and now of course Cohen with his first head
coaching job with the National Football League and learned a
lot of offensive football from McVeigh and used to draw
plays for him and learn the intricacies of how to
put together and design an offense. Cohen learned a lot
(35:11):
of what he knows from McVeigh in his time in LA.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Yeah, and I thought Liam Ryan O'Halloran at the Florida
Times Union asked him on Monday about what he learned
from Sean, and if you haven't seen it, it's worth
going back and listening to about how drawing plays for
him allowed them access that some McVeigh assistants don't get.
And the more I'm around Liam, the more I believe
(35:35):
that Sean mcvay's way and the things that he's bringing
into the NFL and the style. It's going to be
the defining way moving forward. Some of the old stuff
is not being used as much. There are coaches who
define generations, and I think McVeigh, with his tree the
development there, it's gonna be what this league is for
a while. And Liam had the opportunity from drawing plays
(35:57):
to go in and talk to him, and I guess
really get into his head more of how he operates
and what his philosophies are than maybe some assistant. So now,
just being inside somebody's head during the game, is that
good or bad? I don't know that that matters that much,
but I do know from what Liam has said this week,
(36:19):
they will know philosophically why the other guy does certain things.
And I'm sure there will be times during the game
where Liam would maybe without even thinking about it, yeah
he's gonna he's going here, or they're going to try
to run this because they just ran this, and maybe
just instinctively he can tell Campaiy you know they're doing this.
(36:42):
So I think that'll be a factor. And McVeigh certainly
has paved the way for Liam to have a job.
You mentioned right before the break. He's still only thirty nine, yes,
and it feels like McVeigh ought to be fifty, but
he was really the one who kind of started this
trend toward young coaches, toward not worrying so much about well,
(37:03):
they don't have the experience. If you're a leader, if
you if you can call plays, mainly, if you're a
leader of men, which Liam clearly is, which Sean clearly was.
He's changed in the game and Liam is an example
of how that change is positive.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
And obviously not the first McVeigh assistant to go on
to head coaching jobs.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
It can't even count them anymore. I mean, yeah, I'm
sure you can, but not right now.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
At this moment.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
We won't.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Let's come back in a moment and a little more
on this Jaguars offensive line and what they have to
deal with this week.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Another tough week at the office.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Ahead at Wembley is the Rams come to town, the Jaguars
come to town as well.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
We're in London and it's.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Week seven and this is jaggs HQ on the Jaguars
Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Welcome Back jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
To use right now, Jap Shadwick Sjohn Oser, jags HQ
presented by Press from Florida on the Jaguars Radio Network.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Glad you're with us. We're at the Grove.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Northwest of London, home base for the Jaguars this week
ahead of the Rams Jaguars matchup Week seven this Sunday
Wimbley Stadium in London, and the Jaguars offensive line will
be under the microscope again after you know, the first
five weeks.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Or so of the season.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
First four weeks of the season, the Jags oh line
was really good. Run game was there, they weren't giving
up sacks, but the last two weeks combined ten sacks
allowed from this offensive line. The run game's been inconsistent
as well. The first four weeks. They gave up nine
quarterback hits total last two weeks twenty. So this is
(38:52):
this is a matchup again this week that it's another challenge.
I mean, Seahawks were a challenge within the Rams were
a three. Looking the outside linebackers and everything that goes
on up front on this defense, it's a real handful.
Speaker 6 (39:06):
This week, yeah, and they got to be better. But
I think James and Tony, especially Tony talked about it
quite a bit. And you know, people always want to
look at the at pass blocking, just pass blocking, say
sacks and hurries. They were a really good running team
for the first four games. I don't think it's coincidental
that Brenton Strange was playing at a very high level
(39:27):
for the first four games. Yes, after his injury the
last two weeks not as good a running team when
you can pound that. With all the penalties last week,
where all of a sudden on seven drives at least
they're facing down a distance more than ten, it's hard
(39:47):
for any offensive line to hold up when the other
team caught. You know, I think I'm having any sacks
come at the end of games JP most of them. Well,
when you get into this third and long stuff, that's
like being at the end of the game. So I'm
not saying that if they'd run well they give up
no sacks last week. But I think getting that in
control and getting back to being a team that depends
(40:10):
on the run and runs well will solve a lot
of the pass blocking issues. And on paper, at least,
the Rams are supposed to be a little more susceptible
of being run on than the Seahawks, and Seahawks are
high d I think they knew going in last week,
they were not going to be able to run well
and that's what concerned them. You have to run at
least okay this week, or at least make them think
(40:35):
that you can run. The threat of the run sometimes
as important as the run. Something in the running game
has to be there this week for them.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah, a lot of the design last week was wide runs,
just to try to get away from that interior pressure from.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
It's a hard way to run.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Let's come back. Final thoughts ahead. It's been quite a
busy day for Jaguars media. So you're outside of London
and this is JAG's HQ on Jaguars Radio.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
Welcome Back.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues right now.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Final moments of jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida
JP Shaddick with John Oser and the Rams and Jaguars
coming up this Sunday. It's a nine thirty Eastern kickoff
time from Wimbley Stadium and the Jaguars playing in their
fourteenth London game all time, the eleventh at Wimbley Stadium
coming up in the Rams two and two in their
(41:41):
London experience all time as an organization and the Jaguars
at four and two.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Rams at four and two, the first time.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
The Jaguars have had a record above five hundred coming
into London ever, they've been five hundred, but they haven't
had a winning record coming.
Speaker 6 (41:57):
Were they They were one and one and seventeen and they
came over and blew out the Ravens. But yeah, that's right,
good stat.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
Yeah, winning Jaguars team in London.
Speaker 6 (42:06):
Yeah, and you know they have been historically, I think
a little better in London than they have other places.
Look the themes obvious. It's not a must win in
any way. You're still in good shape if you lose it,
but it's a chance to get you know, if you
beat this team, you've beaten the Rams and the Chiefs
(42:27):
two out of three. You go into the by having
to feel good about yourself and you're in very good
shape for the second half of the season, where on
paper and on paper is very dangerous when you talk
about schedules, but on paper, the schedule in the second
half of the season is one that you should feel
good going into most of your games. So huge opportunity,
(42:47):
but a very difficult opportunity.
Speaker 4 (42:49):
Very difficult.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Rams have played at a high level for a long
time as an organization. And they're actually coming in late.
They're coming in Friday night, arriving Saturday.
Speaker 6 (42:59):
It's an interesting from Baltimore. I've never heard of that.
The Jaguars, of course has left Thursday and gotten into Friday.
Has felt like the routine that they like to use
when they're not playing games with the buye over this thing.
So it's, uh, you know, it's a choice, and you
know who knows with the work. There's been games JP
(43:21):
that you've looked at where you knew the Jaguars early
on had an edge because they've been through it before.
U maybe this will be one.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
I mean that Ravens game in seventeen, for example.
Speaker 6 (43:31):
They didn't want to be a couple against the Bills
at times where you felt like where they got out
to a quick start because you knew they were comfortable
and uh, fingers cross'd.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
There was a Colts game here too, where it was
like the Jags understood the footing and the old field
at Wimblee which just now changed, but and the Rams
are the Colts didn't. They were slipping and sliding everywhere.
Alan Hearns weaving for a.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
Touchdown that's right.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Yeah, yeah, So the home field advantage is real for
the organization, and.
Speaker 6 (43:58):
It's supposed to be. I mean, the team plays here
a lot, so it's supposed to be an advantage on
some level against that not when you go into the game,
depending on but you hope you see it play out.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
John, thanks a lot, enjoy the weekend, man, We'll be
here in lind We'll see it Wimbley on Sunday. Thanks
Tyler Sitting, Brent Reaver, Dave decandas here on site. Joe Fortunado,
Max Hawkman back home in Jacksonville, and thanks to you
for listening. Of course, the Rams and the Jaguars coming
up nine thirty Eastern count Down a kickoff at eight
thirty on the Jaguars Radio Network this Sunday at Wimbley
(44:32):
Citium in London. And thanks for listening to Jags HQ
on the Jaguars Radio Network
Welcome to Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida. JP
Shadrick and former Jaguar Jeff Logoman sit down each week
with the decision makers of your Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We're going to bring you a product that you all
can be prouder with.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That game on jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida,
starts right now.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
This is Jaggs HQ on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented
by the University of Florida, number one university and the
US News and World Reports number one state for education.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
JP Shadrick with you.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Jeff Logman on assignment tonight in London. John Oser is
in with us, as is GM James Gladstone and EVP
Tony Boselli. We're at the grove, We're in the library
and the manor house and here we are back in London.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
John, thanks for stepping in.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Appreciate good see.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
I get that you have to say, next man up,
but this may be one injury you can't overcome. Losing Logs.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah, it's a lot, it is.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
It is. Some might go after this week point.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Some might say it's the highest rate to show in
the history of the spike of HQ.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, there's a spike going on right now here. We
are in London, Tony. We've done this a million times, yeah,
a million and one right now and but a different
role for you.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
The operation's done it all over the place too. We've
done it in pubs, we've done it remotely, we've done
it here. So this is fun.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, back again, James, you're first with the Jaguars. Did
you come with the Rams back in the day or no?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
You know what did tap in for our time with
the Rams? A couple of different stops in terms of
which hotel was that. But yeah, I got a chance
to come here to the Grove once before, and so
it's not uncharted territory.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
How was the the operation getting over here, Tony and
the whole week here at the Grove? The staff here
at the hotel is fantastic, but the operations behind it,
you know, your first opportunity running that part of this organization.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, I didn't get in the way, so it worked.
I think listen, we've had we have a great group
and they do a great job in each department getting
everyone over here. It's it's obviously a big it's a
big move we bring everything from Jacksonville here to London,
and you got to do it quickly. It actually starts
(02:17):
in the off season.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
We start prepping for this in the spring, and then
in the summer we start shipping stuff over here. Hamza
and his team does a great job of making sure
the flights, hotels, transportation, Mindy with and Jackie with all
the nutrition and food and and then that doesn't even
speak to the actually having being ready to play a
football game, which you got a video and equipment, supporting
(02:42):
our supporting our coaches and players and making sure we
can get on the field. It's full time. And and
then at the same time, the front office, which James
in the personnel department, has to keep on operating, and
so we move that whole operation as well here to London.
And the great thing is we haven't missed a beat.
(03:02):
It's been you know, seamless. Everyone's working long hours and
making sure that everything that we need to do to
make sure we can compete on Sunday, be ready to
win a football game, but also prepare for the future.
People can do their jobs and do them well.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh you gotta love it. Post game on Sunday, being
able to work through art. Have there been any injuries,
Are there any injuries that we need to make an
adjustment to our roster immediately, And knowing that we got
roughly a twenty four hour shot clock before we take off,
and you know, we ended into our operation staff to
be able to you know, get guys in and out efficiently,
(03:41):
to be able to be a part of our flight
over or even another who joined us from all the
way on the West Coast, across country in the United
States and then across the Pond and was able to
get out for practice yesterday. So it's been a full
speed ahead type of operation. But certainly gotta give a
ton of credit to our group for making it as
(04:02):
seamless as possible.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Real quick on that. I mean, we were on the
plane taking off and getting ready to take off and
James came to me and says, hey, we got an
opportunity to go get international player on practice squad and
who just.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Would probably has a passport that's.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
He's not British, not British German.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Okay, so can you get back into the United States
if you were to come over and practice for the
week versus waits the United States for our return so you.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Know, so we James dropped down on Hommes and the
ops team said, hey, go figure it out, and as
we're taking off, and I don't know how they did it,
but next thing we know, uh, he's here with us.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Do most players around the league have to have passports? Now?
Is that.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
Limit your you know availability?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
There was one year where I think we signed a
guy off of Cincinnati practice squad in Cincinnati and then
but his passport was in Connecticut. Yeah, and though he
had to go to conne to get separately and then
medice over here later. And that's the situation.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
But that and that's the whole thing too. I mean,
leading up to it, you have to make sure that
you have all the players passports, and our coaches and
I don't know how it's been a years past, but
this year one or two can't locate them sure, and
so next thing you know, you're on rush and you're
trying to flip and get a new passport before we
(05:24):
have to leave. Now, again, our team does a great
job of thinking ahead and not waiting till the last second,
and so there's plenty of time to go through these
things and making sure everyone's prepared, and then it takes
also some patience because as much as you want everything
to be perfect and seamless, you know. So today's NFL
is a lot of technology of what we're doing with
all the data that we're capturing, our coaches are using
(05:46):
those that data, our sports science are medical. I didn't
talk about all the work that Ferg and his team
have to do to get our trainers and making sure
we can take care of our players here, and so
all that has to happen. It's a large a lot
of stress on technology, so we have people working long hours,
(06:07):
and then the patients of our coaches and our players
understanding that instead of something happening immediately, it might have
to take a breath and we'll get things going as
we go. And everyone's been great, and it's really a
hats off to the whole organization.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Tony Vaselli James Gladstone with us on Jags. HQ will
dig into this matchup coming up on the field, the
Rams and the Jaguars. But James, your entire career has
been with the La Rams, starting as a senior assistant
to the GM and twenty sixteen director of Scouting Strategy
for a number of years up until last year. What
are your emotions this week when you're facing a team
(06:43):
that you've worked for your entire career.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Oh, you know, there's a lot of respect for the
la Rams, the organization, the people that are still there
that I sort of learned the industry through. I know
that there's a lot that I have to credit to
them as it relates to me even being granted the
opportunity to fill this role. Well, at the same time
(07:06):
knowing that, look, the significance of every game is real,
doesn't matter who the opponent is.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
I know, you can look at our players.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
There have been plenty who have come from a different organization,
so it's no different in this instance for me.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
We're focused on ourselves.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's where we're rooting our minds, and that's been the
case since we started this season. I know we certainly
talked through the idea of our upcoming opponents who are
some of the game wreckers those types of things. But
you know, following this last matchup versus Seattle, we wanted
to reimage the way we were approaching this week and
(07:41):
make sure that the focus turned inward. And that's where
I've been placing my thoughts, my mind, and you know,
I don't think we can look past the significance of
a game in London, right, we got an opportunity to
represent the Jacksonville Jaguars on a global stage, and I
think that's what carries a little bit more weight than
anything at this point.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
The is it really rams. But it sounds like you
want to talk about the rams too much, so I'll
go another direction. The decision to come over early, I
talk about that and how much of a positive has
it been.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, I think that actually was a conversation we worked
through in the early portion of the summer. Obviously, there's
going to be a lot of legwork if you are
going to come over early to tee this all up,
and you know, we work through a number of the
performance related aspects before anything and making it so that hey,
we're going to root this and the idea of what
can we do to best prepare ourselves to win the
(08:37):
game on Sunday and beyond that, you start thinking, all right,
if getting there sooner is actually what you would say
is the best course of action, what are some of
the added bonuses that come with that? Well, we're all
going to be under the same roof for an extended
period of time. We're going to be at a point
in the season where the identity is starting to show
itself and we need to capitalize on whatever momentum we
(08:59):
might have behind it, knowing that we're going to separate
for a bye week immediately after that. So I think
a couple of those elements certainly stand out. Liam was
the one who ultimately made the decision on which course
of action would be best, and Tony and I did
what we could support him through that decision making process
and share our perspectives, but certainly happy at this point
(09:21):
as it relates to how things have unfolded.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
James Gladstone, Tony Boselli with us. We're back in a
moment and we will dig into this matchup at Wembley
under the Arch for the eleventh time the Jaguars at
Wembley Stadium, fourteenth Jaguars game all time in London coming
up this Sunday, and this is JAG's HQ on the
Jaguars Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Welcome Back Jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
right now.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
We are back from just outside of London ahead of
this Week seven match up at Wembley Stadium as the
Jaguars entertained the Los Angeles Ram. The Jaguars seven and
six all time in London games. Welcome Back at Shaggs HQ,
presented by Fresh from Florida, JP Shadwick with you, Jeff
Logman on assignment tonight. John Oser is in with us,
(10:13):
as is Tony Boselli and James Gladstone from the Grove
in the library of the Manor House ahead of the
Rams Jaguars matchup. And let's start with this Rams offense
and the Jaguars defense this week, And obviously it starts
with Matthew Stafford over sixty thousand passing yards, ninth now
in league history, surpassed Dan Marino last week for ninth
(10:35):
on the list. And he's seen it all kind of
different ways. You were there when he was brought in.
So is he's still obviously he's leading the league in
passing yards this year.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He's still got juice in him, There's no doubt.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Cold blood, and you know he's got ice in the veins.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And there are a few quarterbacks that are built the
way he is still in existence. And you know, I
think it's fair to say that he's got a couple
guys on the perimeter that can help him out quite
a bit, obviously, you know, with a couple of those
names being Puka and Davante, and really right now, that
whole crew is leading the league and receptions and yards
(11:11):
for receivers, and you know, it's it's not going to
be some easy feat to be able to, you know,
step across from those guys. But I think our crew
is putting together a great point and you know, our
players are are certainly ready and and jacked about the
op But you know, across the board, even as you
look at their backfield, they got a workhorse back in
(11:32):
Kyron Williams that they really rely heavily on in all
all phases, and and upfront they got some veterans, and
you know, I think throughout the course of the season
they've already had to rely on a few different moving
pieces and starting lineup. So still working through some kinks
on that front, but nonetheless, it's going to be a
fun challenge for our defensive front to be able to
(11:52):
try and get after him, create some pressures and allow
our defensive backfield to you know, hunt the ball and
try and poke that thing out as much as possible
create some of those turnovers that we were used to
in the first quarter of the season. And I know
that there will certainly be opps and we'll try and
take advantage of them when they present itself.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Yeah, I mean, I think if you look at Matthew Stafford,
you have to impact him. You have to get him
moving off his spot. I mean, James talked about it.
He's a I don't want to say a dying bree,
but the like he's an old school sit there in
the face of rush, will not flinch and can make
every throw known to mankind and is accurate. And so
(12:31):
the only way you get guys like that off their
game a little bit because he's seen it all, is
you got to hit him. You got to try to
get him off his spot a little bit and see
if there's any way you can make a guy who
is rarely uncomfortable uncomfortable. And I think so it's a
great challenge to our front and getting after it. And
then I think we have to take advantage of the
(12:52):
turnover opportunities while they're there. We did that the first
five games. We had two chances at turnovers. Against the Seahawks,
we dropped one interset and another one floated in the air,
and we didn't react maybe as quickly as you'd like
to see. So the ball fell and those but those
are opportunities that they're going to be there, and our
defense does such a great job of creating chaos and
(13:12):
and creating those opportunities. We've got to make sure we
take advantage of them when they're there, because guys like
Matthew Stafford aren't gonna make a lot of mistakes. They're
just such he's such a good such a good player.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He's just like Medusa. Don't look at those eyes, you
know what I mean. That's oh, yeah, well there's a book.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
In here.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, but it was, yeah, that's don't look at those
things because they'll take you the wrong direction.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
I'll take you someplace you don't want to be.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
And he's such an underrated great player, uh and so
poised Bucky Brooks in our Head podcast yesterday, talked about
his ability to step up when necessary, but manage the
game when necessary, and it just spoke to me of
the control of the situation he has as a sixteen
and seventeen year guy who's seen everything.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, there's a mastery of the system for sure, and
obviously that Tony had mentioned, he's seen it all. He
is in full control, and even when you feel like
there's a dull series two series back to back, he
can strike at any moment, and there's no way that
you can begin to press the snooze button, so to speak,
when facing him.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Not to scare everyone too much, but I mean, I
even think about last year in the playoff game, which
was a loss against the Eagles, but that was a
game if you watch Matthew Stafford operate under extreme pressure.
I remember watching that game the whole time of like
the Eagles is gonna walk away with this at some
point because of the pressure and the chaos they were
creating on defense, And you just watched them sit in
(14:44):
the midst of just chaos, in a storm, coming in
his face, making one throw after another. And I remember
watching the game just amazed that a guy. I mean,
you know he has the talent. But John, I think
what you said is true. He's truly more of the
great all time quarterbacks. That doesn't probably get mentioned enough,
but if you watch him play in those moments, you
(15:05):
realize that he's a dangerous man.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
How important is Pooka critical.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
After five games he had over fives over close and.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Like the best receiver in football right now, he.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Is on track to set the record for guardage.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yes, the NFL, I'd tell that is one thing to
look for sure.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
That much because Cooper cup was so good and then
it stepped right in. How is he different?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I think in a few ways, he's not the same
type of precision that Cooper played with h He's also
a bit more dense than Cooper, and some of the
rebounding capabilities tilt and and Puka's favor. But I do
know that Cooper made such a dent on who Pooka
now is as it related to that that first year
(15:56):
of onboarding, when when Cooper spent an off season rehab,
Pooka got a ton of reps and it was the
mental aspect of plays, positioning, leverage, all the nuances that
Cooper had innately developed on his own but continued to
refine throughout his pro career that he was sharing that
(16:18):
wisdom with Pooka, and Pooka did his part in absorbing
that and applying it, and it certainly helped with an
accelerated sort of production in those early years. But now
he's had a chance to tap into some of DeVante's wisdom.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
And leverage that.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
But he is a very challenging receiver to stop because
that inter immediate game is something that you know, they
really take advantage of.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
One final Jags defensive thought here, Devin Lloyd didn't make
the trip, So Ventrel Miller's gonna step in. And then
how difficult is what Trayvon Walker's trying to do playing
with the club right now?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Oh, that dude is a beast. You know, it's not
an easy thing to do. I can tell you what.
We're now just over fourteen days removed from surgery, so
he'll still be in a club this next week by
week help in terms of freeing some of those fingers
up for the game after. But at this point in time,
he's dealing with plenty of pain, trying to figure out
(17:17):
how to best use that in shedding blocks and creating
some moves as a rusher, getting more familiar with that.
It's not uncharted territory. It had done in college and
even at high school. But nonetheless, each time that you
put it back on, you're still getting a little bit
of a feel for how to best utilize that limb.
But Yeah, that's not an easy thing to do with Devin.
(17:38):
It's tough when he's playing such good ball to potentially
slow down that momentum that's behind his back, I know
is something that popped up for him and between him.
Coaching staff felt like in game that it made the
most sense to take a step back and let Ben
Treel get a run.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Feeling good, and Ventrel showed up. You know, he was
part of a half sack that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Was a big moment in the game, and he'd been
doing a great job on special teams and our coaching
staff doesn't have any fear heading into this one, especially
off the heels of Ventrel stepping in to a game
against an opponent who was really putting a lot of
priority on the running game and wasn't able to find
solid footing in that phase.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
And a big part of it was because of Ventrel's impact.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Tony, I watched you play through stuff when you played.
How impressive was what Trayvon' said.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Oh, I think it speaks to who he is and
his desire and his love for the game of football
and the type of competitor he is. And I think
the good news is you watched them operate against Seattle
and you could tell a little bit that he was
still feeling his way through, but played solid, good, good
strong football. Watching him today in our full padded practice,
(18:46):
you could see it he's even kind of evolving and
becoming more natural. I thought he had a really good
day to day and it didn't jump out that it
was impacting his rush in what he was trying to do.
So I think what you're gonna see is he's a
guy that as a high pain tolerance at say it least,
He's built different and I think he'll go out and
(19:07):
play a great game, and I think he'll do He's
just gonna get more and more confident with it and
confident that confidence will produce even better play than we
saw in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
All right, guys, we'll come back in a moment. We'll
take a look at the Rams defense and this offensive
matchup for the Jags this week and get some final
thoughts ahead of the Rams Jaguars matchup at Wembley Stadium
in London. It's Jaggs HQ on Jaguars Radio.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Welcome Back Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues
right now.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
J P.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Shadwick, but John Ozier, Tony Basselli and James Gladstone with
us from the Grove just outside of London.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
It is Jaggs HQ.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And the Jags and the Rams coming up to Sunday
at Wembley Stadium.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
All right, let's get into this.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
The Jaguars offensive matchup this week against the Rams defense,
and let's start up front offensive line. Robert Hainsey's on
the injury report was limited on Wednesday. Was back out
there a little bit on Thursday as well. It seems
like that's moving ahead in the proper direction. But last
week couple of illegal formations, some issues pre snap again
(20:24):
on offense, there was an offensive off side and James
you talked about it. It's kind of all about the
Jaguars right now. And on the offensive side, it kind
of begins with the controllables and not getting behind.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
The chains, no, and that's where a lot of the
focus falls, right.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
We have talked about toughness being a pillar of our team,
and we're not just talking about physical toughness. We're talking
about mental toughness. And the physical element has been such
a point of emphasis today and this is a week
where we're not separating from that but we are applying
(21:00):
thought to the mental toughness and that's discipline, right, that
ties into a lot of these pre snap blunders or
issues or penalties.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
So it certainly got to see an improvement there.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But that's where a focus is fallen, and I know
Robert is somebody that certainly helps to quiet a lot
of that because he's such a cerebral player.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We talked about Matthew and having mastery of that offense.
Robert has mastery of this offense. It's not his first
go round in it. You know, anytime you're going through
something for the first time, it's going to be a
bit challenging, and that's what I know our group is experiencing.
But he certainly helps to alleviate some of those issues
along the way. And I think with him set to play,
(21:44):
that should be added value as it relates to our
upcoming opponent.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
The strength of their defense.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Is across from rol It's not all that different than
Seattle in terms of where the best part of their
defense falls, and so I think that that'll be a
fun outing and I know it always gets somebody like
Tony Biselli jacked up to see some of these good
rushers right. Those are the games where you know you're
building yourself up for the for the matchup on Sunday
(22:11):
as the week progresses.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
But it should be a fun one, Tony.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
How good are these drushers?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
They're good players. I mean they're young Byron Young. He's
a guy who's gonna make it. Has all kinds of
athletic ability you can get on your edge, has enough
power to threaten, you know, but really he wants to
make life miserable on your edge. And then you got
the probably the exact opposite and Jared Verse, who is
going to start trying to run right through your face.
(22:39):
And he has elite power and then uses his power
to work edges because he starts getting players leaning, lunging
in out of sorts. And so they're both very good players,
and you gotta got like Fisk inside, You got to
put them forward. Another big guy who's been revitalized later
in his career. But I go back to what we've
(23:01):
been talking about. It it's really more about us. This
is an offensive line that going into Seattle was performing
at a very high level and has a lot of pride.
They went into Seattle and did not perform the way
that any of us were, especially them, wanted to and
so I think it's a little bit of hey, bring
whoever you're going to bring, But we just want to
(23:23):
get back on the field, to get back to who
we are and that's a physical, tough, control the line
of scrimmage group and have a lot of confidence those
guys excited that Haines didn't come back. But at the
same time, I think it's fair to say that Monheim
did a very good job coming in as a rookie.
Was he played solid, he played good football and so
(23:44):
but always getting your veteran back and one of the
leaders of that group back on the field's and be good.
But it's going to take five guys working together, having
a game plan, understanding what's coming, but take You have
to take the fight to them. If you sit back
and get in awe of great pass rushers, the name
on the jersey and what they've done in the past,
(24:05):
they deserve all the credit in the world. At the
same time, you have to have some pride in what
you've accomplished up to this point the season and who
you are and take the fight to them. And I
think we will. I think we'll perform well and looking
forward to those guys rebounding a little bit back on
the field and restating what they were the first five
weeks of the season and showing the rams of this league,
(24:29):
all our fans saying, hey, that was an outlier last week.
This is who we are.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
I've been hitting this all week. But when you have
seven penalties to take you back to ten yards or more,
it's hard to pass block against that sometimes, And when
you're not running, how important is it to not get
in those situations?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
You can't get behind the chains, and it's great pass rushers,
that's what they want, and that's everybody. And so that
comes back to lining up right. We had a couple
where Anton Harrison lined up off the ball. Cannot do that.
He's too good of a player. Number one, he's the
one guy that does not need to cheat the line
of scrimmage because he is so athletic. That is his superpower.
(25:11):
And so that's a mental lapse and he's got to
clean that up and he knows it. And so you
hurt yourself by getting behind the sticks. And now all
of a sudden you're playing right into their game. Because
we want to run the ball, we want to win
on first down, getting good second downs. Worst case there
we're in a third and very manageable situation where you
can play action pass run is still in play. That's
how you take pass rushers out.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Of the game.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
And so it's all eleven, including the quarterback. You know,
I think Trevor would go back and tell you, like
sitting and looking at that game again, it's like, hey,
maybe I could have done a better good job to
help our guys out, our receivers, winning into the line
of scrimmage, getting open fast, running crisp, precise routes so
that the ball can be delivered on time backs, making
(25:55):
sure we're chipping, picking up the blitz so as an
offensive line, and we know at the end of the day,
when if there's seven sacks and the quarterback gets hit
as much as he did, we are going to get blamed,
as we should. It's our responsibility. But when you are
honest and look at it, it's an operation that takes
eleven individuals to keep a quarterback clean, and so we's
(26:19):
got to do a better job from pre snap staying
ahead of the chains. Liam is very conscious of it.
Call how we call plays, how we attack their defense
and try not to put our guys in situations that
are hard, because let me tell you what, I don't
care how good you are. You line up in too
many third lungs against great pass rushers, it could be
(26:40):
very well be a long day.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Thirty years of writing, JP, I rarely write that the
offense gave up sacks. You aluys right, that's.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Not true, but that's part of it and everyone understands that.
But John, you know this. It is eleven guys working together,
ball out on time, good routes ol doing that. Our
job backs, making sure they're chipping if they can before
they get out their call to pick up the blitz.
We have some issues. We had an issue where we
(27:08):
had a clean blitzer. It shouldn't happen. Those are all
different things that we can clean up and do better
to give Trevor a little bit more comfort back there,
to find our playmakers down the field.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
James and I was covering Tony. He told me more
than once that it was not just the offensive line.
Didn't get that's not true.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I was thinking, but I never said it out loud.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Love it Rams, Jaguars Wimbley, Sunday, nine thirty am Eastern.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Good luck gentlemen, let's get a win under the arch.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
That's what we're here to do. Yeah, the reason that
come all the way over here and not win.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
We're not going to talk special teams.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Oh we can't.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
We got the three phases in.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Okay, we got special.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
We got to make our points. We had opportunities. Four
points we left on the board.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
You miss you miss kicks.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I mean, look for business. How critical the end of halfway?
If we go back, we got a ten to six game,
it's ten six wide because we missed an extra point, right,
so that's one point. We then do a good job
at then a half, have a blunder, go backwards a
little bit, but have a fifty yard field goal which
(28:17):
Cam can make in a sleep. He's an outstanding field
goal kicker. We miss that. They now have outstanding field
position and they go get three. So that's a six point.
You have the missed extra point. That's a seven point
difference of points that we should have had and taken
away from them in the first half. What does it
(28:38):
feel like if you if you swing that in that
kind of game, in that it feels like.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Their complimentary element of this.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Right, we were on the twenty nine yard line and
we end up having a false start. We then have
a sack two yard gain and then a sack right.
So it was a challenging window of plays that were
strung together that four fifty longer feelable so that it's
not all on him, just like a sacks, not all
on the Oh. Well, now I will as we're looking forward,
(29:10):
this is going to be an interesting kickoff that we're
facing because these guys are able to kick a knuckleball
pretty effectively. So if you want to go ahead and
look back at some of the teams that they faced
and how those returners have performed in those instances, we've
we've got to be on our p's and q's here
and make sure that we can field these things cleanly.
(29:32):
And that's a real play these days, you know, it's
not something that you can just overlook.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
So we're looking forward to that up as well.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Yeah, I'll end with this. I think everything we've talked
about it comes back to we have. It has to
start with us. If we focus on playing good, clean football,
eliminate the controllable pendelties that you talked about, JP, play
good complimentary football across all three phases, then we can
(29:58):
live with whatever the outcome is. The ones that are
hard to live with is when you beat yourself, when
you have penalties that are mental airs, alignment issues, so
on and so forth that lead to negative yardage behind
the sticks that you do the basics, things that you
do day in and day out not well and you
(30:19):
end up losing a game because of that. Those are
hard to live with. And so I think the focus
this week going into this game, James hit on it.
We want to be a tough team. We pride ourselves
and being tough, but that is not just physical toughness,
it's mental toughness. So being a disciplined football team. If
we go out wimbley against an outstanding organization lots of
(30:41):
instagrams been in the Super Bowl multiple times under Sean
McVay of one to one Hall of Fame quarterback on
the other side of the field. But we can go
out and take care of ourselves and play tough football
physically and mentally. We'll live with whatever the scoreboard says
at the end.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Tony James for the time, as always, enjoy mister London
over here, BISSELLI, He'll.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Show you the way, James.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
I'm just here for the ride.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Baby, Thanks guys, Tony Boselli, James Gladstone with US plenty
more ahead.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
This is jags HQ.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Welcome Back. Jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues right.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Now and we are on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented
by the University of Florida, number one university in the
US News and World Reports, number.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
One state for education.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
J P. Shadwick with John Osher from the grove just
outside of Watford, northwest of London, home base for the
Jaguars this week ahead of the matchup at Wembley this Sunday,
the Rams and the Jags, the fourteenth London game all
time for the Jaguars, the eleventh at Wembley.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Our thanks to Tony BISSELLI, James.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Gladstone and yeah, I mean it's all about the Jags
this week. They keep saying that's been the theme around
here and even asking James about his old team. He
don want to go too deep into some of the
history there, but certainly on his mind. But there's there's
a lot to be worked on here for the Jags team.
Better to work on it for and two let's start
with that. I mean, no matter the result, it's a
(32:15):
winning record coming out of this week. However, as Tony
just referenced John, if you can control things that you're
supposed to, they feel like they're good enough to match
up with anybody in the league.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Yeah. Look, I feel like they're a good team. I mean,
I don't know that they are a great team yet.
I think they're a building toward being a great team.
It happens this year, next year, whatever, but you can
feel the difference and you can feel the overall the discipline,
the discipline of the organization. I thought the best quote
(32:48):
this week was when Liam talked about they have their
meeting where they find game wreckers, said, the reality is
we've been our game wreckers. I think over the course
of the season they are going to be the more
physical and a discipline team over seventeen games. When you're
playing seventeen NFL games, you're gonna have some dips, You're
(33:10):
gonna have some stuff in games where what you want
to do doesn't happen. You have to go back and
fix it. So I think this is an incredible opportunity
to go get stuff right that you didn't do well
last week. And unlike some cases where when you get
stuff right, you're like, well, yeah, but who are we playing.
If you can get penalties and the offensive line right
(33:32):
against the Rams, you're gonna feel really good about it
coming out. And I think that's that will determine if
they go into the fourth quarter having a chance to win.
I think if they don't do those things, you could
be doing what you did last week, which is facing
uphill all fourth quarter where you didn't feel like you
were in it. I think they can be in this
game if they play well.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
And obviously the earlier in the season, this is a
team that didn't really trail much. I mean they were
heading games and that changes the whole dynamic of things.
Let's come back, John and get into this head coaching matchup.
Sean McVay, Liam Cohen pair a thirty nine year old.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
It's going out, It's right, that's right, Sean still thirty nine.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
We'll dig into that when we come back.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
This is Jags HQ on Jaguars Radio.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Welcome Back Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
right now.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
We are back JP Shadwick with John Ozer from the
Grove just outside of London headquarters for the Jaguars. This
week it is Jags HQ or thanks to Tony Bacelli
and James Gladstone head coaching matchup this week between the
Rams and the Jaguars. Familiar faces. Sean McVay, of course said,
fantastic success with the La Rams. Liam Cohen was under
(34:50):
McVay with the Rams a couple of different stints in
LA and now of course Cohen with his first head
coaching job with the National Football League and learned a
lot of offensive football from McVeigh and used to draw
plays for him and learn the intricacies of how to
put together and design an offense. Cohen learned a lot
(35:11):
of what he knows from McVeigh in his time in LA.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Yeah, and I thought Liam Ryan O'Halloran at the Florida
Times Union asked him on Monday about what he learned
from Sean, and if you haven't seen it, it's worth
going back and listening to about how drawing plays for
him allowed them access that some McVeigh assistants don't get.
And the more I'm around Liam, the more I believe
(35:35):
that Sean mcvay's way and the things that he's bringing
into the NFL and the style. It's going to be
the defining way moving forward. Some of the old stuff
is not being used as much. There are coaches who
define generations, and I think McVeigh, with his tree the
development there, it's gonna be what this league is for
a while. And Liam had the opportunity from drawing plays
(35:57):
to go in and talk to him, and I guess
really get into his head more of how he operates
and what his philosophies are than maybe some assistant. So now,
just being inside somebody's head during the game, is that
good or bad? I don't know that that matters that much,
but I do know from what Liam has said this week,
(36:19):
they will know philosophically why the other guy does certain things.
And I'm sure there will be times during the game
where Liam would maybe without even thinking about it, yeah
he's gonna he's going here, or they're going to try
to run this because they just ran this, and maybe
just instinctively he can tell Campaiy you know they're doing this.
(36:42):
So I think that'll be a factor. And McVeigh certainly
has paved the way for Liam to have a job.
You mentioned right before the break. He's still only thirty nine, yes,
and it feels like McVeigh ought to be fifty, but
he was really the one who kind of started this
trend toward young coaches, toward not worrying so much about well,
(37:03):
they don't have the experience. If you're a leader, if
you if you can call plays, mainly, if you're a
leader of men, which Liam clearly is, which Sean clearly was.
He's changed in the game and Liam is an example
of how that change is positive.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
And obviously not the first McVeigh assistant to go on
to head coaching jobs.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
It can't even count them anymore. I mean, yeah, I'm
sure you can, but not right now.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
At this moment.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
We won't.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Let's come back in a moment and a little more
on this Jaguars offensive line and what they have to
deal with this week.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Another tough week at the office.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Ahead at Wembley is the Rams come to town, the Jaguars
come to town as well.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
We're in London and it's.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Week seven and this is jaggs HQ on the Jaguars
Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Welcome Back jags HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
To use right now, Jap Shadwick Sjohn Oser, jags HQ
presented by Press from Florida on the Jaguars Radio Network.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Glad you're with us. We're at the Grove.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Northwest of London, home base for the Jaguars this week
ahead of the Rams Jaguars matchup Week seven this Sunday
Wimbley Stadium in London, and the Jaguars offensive line will
be under the microscope again after you know, the first
five weeks.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Or so of the season.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
First four weeks of the season, the Jags oh line
was really good. Run game was there, they weren't giving
up sacks, but the last two weeks combined ten sacks
allowed from this offensive line. The run game's been inconsistent
as well. The first four weeks. They gave up nine
quarterback hits total last two weeks twenty. So this is
(38:52):
this is a matchup again this week that it's another challenge.
I mean, Seahawks were a challenge within the Rams were
a three. Looking the outside linebackers and everything that goes
on up front on this defense, it's a real handful.
Speaker 6 (39:06):
This week, yeah, and they got to be better. But
I think James and Tony, especially Tony talked about it
quite a bit. And you know, people always want to
look at the at pass blocking, just pass blocking, say
sacks and hurries. They were a really good running team
for the first four games. I don't think it's coincidental
that Brenton Strange was playing at a very high level
(39:27):
for the first four games. Yes, after his injury the
last two weeks not as good a running team when
you can pound that. With all the penalties last week,
where all of a sudden on seven drives at least
they're facing down a distance more than ten, it's hard
(39:47):
for any offensive line to hold up when the other
team caught. You know, I think I'm having any sacks
come at the end of games JP most of them. Well,
when you get into this third and long stuff, that's
like being at the end of the game. So I'm
not saying that if they'd run well they give up
no sacks last week. But I think getting that in
control and getting back to being a team that depends
(40:10):
on the run and runs well will solve a lot
of the pass blocking issues. And on paper, at least,
the Rams are supposed to be a little more susceptible
of being run on than the Seahawks, and Seahawks are
high d I think they knew going in last week,
they were not going to be able to run well
and that's what concerned them. You have to run at
least okay this week, or at least make them think
(40:35):
that you can run. The threat of the run sometimes
as important as the run. Something in the running game
has to be there this week for them.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah, a lot of the design last week was wide runs,
just to try to get away from that interior pressure from.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
It's a hard way to run.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Let's come back. Final thoughts ahead. It's been quite a
busy day for Jaguars media. So you're outside of London
and this is JAG's HQ on Jaguars Radio.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
Welcome Back.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues right now.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
Final moments of jags HQ presented by Fresh from Florida
JP Shaddick with John Oser and the Rams and Jaguars
coming up this Sunday. It's a nine thirty Eastern kickoff
time from Wimbley Stadium and the Jaguars playing in their
fourteenth London game all time, the eleventh at Wimbley Stadium
coming up in the Rams two and two in their
(41:41):
London experience all time as an organization and the Jaguars
at four and two.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Rams at four and two, the first time.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
The Jaguars have had a record above five hundred coming
into London ever, they've been five hundred, but they haven't
had a winning record coming.
Speaker 6 (41:57):
Were they They were one and one and seventeen and they
came over and blew out the Ravens. But yeah, that's right,
good stat.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
Yeah, winning Jaguars team in London.
Speaker 6 (42:06):
Yeah, and you know they have been historically, I think
a little better in London than they have other places.
Look the themes obvious. It's not a must win in
any way. You're still in good shape if you lose it,
but it's a chance to get you know, if you
beat this team, you've beaten the Rams and the Chiefs
(42:27):
two out of three. You go into the by having
to feel good about yourself and you're in very good
shape for the second half of the season, where on
paper and on paper is very dangerous when you talk
about schedules, but on paper, the schedule in the second
half of the season is one that you should feel
good going into most of your games. So huge opportunity,
(42:47):
but a very difficult opportunity.
Speaker 4 (42:49):
Very difficult.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Rams have played at a high level for a long
time as an organization. And they're actually coming in late.
They're coming in Friday night, arriving Saturday.
Speaker 6 (42:59):
It's an interesting from Baltimore. I've never heard of that.
The Jaguars, of course has left Thursday and gotten into Friday.
Has felt like the routine that they like to use
when they're not playing games with the buye over this thing.
So it's, uh, you know, it's a choice, and you
know who knows with the work. There's been games JP
(43:21):
that you've looked at where you knew the Jaguars early
on had an edge because they've been through it before.
U maybe this will be one.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
I mean that Ravens game in seventeen, for example.
Speaker 6 (43:31):
They didn't want to be a couple against the Bills
at times where you felt like where they got out
to a quick start because you knew they were comfortable
and uh, fingers cross'd.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
There was a Colts game here too, where it was
like the Jags understood the footing and the old field
at Wimblee which just now changed, but and the Rams
are the Colts didn't. They were slipping and sliding everywhere.
Alan Hearns weaving for a.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
Touchdown that's right.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Yeah, yeah, So the home field advantage is real for
the organization, and.
Speaker 6 (43:58):
It's supposed to be. I mean, the team plays here
a lot, so it's supposed to be an advantage on
some level against that not when you go into the game,
depending on but you hope you see it play out.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
John, thanks a lot, enjoy the weekend, man, We'll be
here in lind We'll see it Wimbley on Sunday. Thanks
Tyler Sitting, Brent Reaver, Dave decandas here on site. Joe Fortunado,

thirty on the Jaguars Radio Network this Sunday at Wimbley

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
