Let's go straight out to the HRMP guest line being joined by Hayes Carlisle, Jack's reporter, co-host of The Frangie Show on 1010 XL in Jacksonville. Hayes, thanks for taking time to hang out with us in the middle of a hurricane. We hope that you're staying safe. Jack's in bill 0 and 3 right now. What's wrong with the Jacks? Yeah, gentlemen, thank you so much for having me on. Always a pleasure in really everything. Everything is wrong with the Jacks right now. You have to wonder if Doug Peterson's message is getting through to them. I mean, look, they're 1 in 8. In their last night games, the 1 victory was over the Carolina Panthers late last season in Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence has lost his last eight starts. I think offensively, schematically, it's just not where the lead is. What they're doing offensively, I think, has been figured out. I think it's borderline obsolete. And defensively, they were playing very well for the first couple of weeks. But then that really got away from the Monday night in Buffalo. They just were completely dissected by the bill. Josh Allen only proved two passes in the second half, because they'd already done all the damage, leading 35-3 at the half, or 34-3 at the half. So right now, there's not a lot that Jaguars can really hang their hat on on either side of the football and their beat up. So they're in a tough spot at 0 and 3. Hey, I'm curious. We've heard a lot of rumblings. We've had guests on the show. You read the social media, the rumors of Belichick being the next coach of the jags, to the fact that Trevor Lawrence's body language and everything that you see on the sidelines looks like there's a disconnect with the coaching staff. How bad is it, really, and how realistic are some of these rumors? I think it's a little early in terms of that, because they just still have so much of the season lap. I don't really have great space that they'll be able to turn it around, but they do have 14 games left. But yeah, I mean, look, if it ends up going south and Doug Peterson gets fired, I mean, we know ownership is enamored with Bill Belichick and E-72. I don't know that that's the direction that would be best, but I wouldn't be the least surprised if shotgun had an interest in making Bill Belichick his coach. So I certainly not something I'm discounting. I think at this point, they'd be better off. Trying to find the next innovative offensive line. The problem there is you don't know if that person is going to be able to be a leader of men, like the Meet the Lions there in Houston. And so that's the concern in terms of hiring a hot offensive coordinator place. So whatever the next coach is, Trevor Lawrence is going to be the centerpiece of that new regime. And you've got to find somebody that can be a good partner for Trevor Lawrence 'cause right now it just doesn't seem like Doug Peterson is really able to either reach him or get consistently strong play out of them. - Yeah, DeMico is the leader of men, but he plays the starters up by 27 with minutes left to play and costs Tang Dell this week, probably. Hayes Carlian joining us on the HR and PGess line. The Jags also though are dealing with injuries. Evan Ingram, last year, one of the most targeted receivers in the NFL, yes, I know he's a tight end, but he was one of the most targeted players in the NFL period. Much different offense without him. What's the latest on him? - I think it's going to be a stretch to see him on Sunday with the hamstring. He did not practice today. And so yeah, it's a big loss. I mean, absolutely, it's a big loss. The Jaguars don't do a great job anyway of really attacking the middle of the field. And Evan Ingram is really their best guy for that. Bryn Strange, a second round pick from a year ago, has done an adequate job filling in for Evan Ingram, but you know, he's just not the same player as the receiver, so it's a big loss. It's one in which it's a point they can't really fill. And you know, they've got some other issues in addition to Evan Ingram. Boy, Louis Kahn is not going to be available with the fight. And you know, he's left the NFL in tackles two of the last three years. He's their communication leader on that side of the ball. And linebacker, Devin Lloyd, pops up today on the injury report with a knee and did not participate. That was a little bit of a surprise, but that'll bear monitoring as well. So certainly not having Ingram, not having Boy, Louis Kahn, you're not only losing production, you're losing incredible leadership with those two guys. - Hey, there were high expectations as we know for this team. And we thought that the Jags coming off last season, we're going to be better than a year ago and maybe compete for the division title. Where have been some of the most glaring weaknesses been aside from Trevor Lawrence? 'Cause we know he hasn't been great. Where else should we be looking at possible weaknesses in terms of this team? - Really, it's, I think it's more a mentally, so far they've shown to be a mentally weak team. And obviously these are all tough men. We get it, it's the NFL. I'm not suggesting they're not tough, but it's like, are you tough compared to the other 31 clubs? And in the opener, I mean, they have Miami on the road. I mean, they are getting ready to knock out the dolphin in Miami in week one. And Travis CTN bumbles at the two yard line. The ball goes into the end zone. The dolphins recover it. The Jaguars are still at 10 points later a quarter when this happens. But the dolphins on the next play hit a bomb this Tyree kill. They come back and win the game. And it's like the Jaguars just have not recovered from that. And which is inexcusable. I mean, it's the NFL. Bad things are going to happen. You're going to have adversity. You got to overcome it. They had no energy against Cleveland in the home opener. Lost that game to a Brown team that really seems to be struggling. And then they know show on Monday night, when you're 0 and 2, and going to play the bill historically, they played well again. They'll beat them last year in London. They've beaten Josh Allen 9 to 6 in the urban Myers debacle year. So they've had some surprising success against Buffalo. And to go in there when you're 0 and 2 and to not even show any signs of life, incredibly disappointing. So to me, it's more of a mental thing like, are they going to get, is this the week that they get livid? Is this the week that they say, all right, no more of this. We have a season to say, I've seen no indication that this is a team that can do that. And we'll find out Sunday because obviously the only chance of getting back into this thing is winning Sunday in Houston, where they did win their last year. And if you're able to do that, now you're 1 in 3, but you're 1 and 0, you probably won your hearted division game of the season. And the schedule starts to ease up a little bit. With a loss, obviously, you're 0 and 4. And you're up against them just crushing historical data in terms of getting into the playoffs. And you're a game back at the division, too, if you went on Sunday. Being joined by Hayes Carlion, Jack's reporter co-host of The Frangi Show, Tintin XL, and Jacksonville. When you look at some of the individual match-ups in this one, what worries you from a Jacksonville perspective? I don't see how they're going to block Anderson and Hunter. Cam Robinson has been a big disappointment this season. He's a savvy veteran. He's been around for a long time. But for whatever reason, he's gotten off to a very slow start. And on the other side, Wighttack, Atlanta, and Harrison, who they felt really great about had a good rookie season. And they thought he was getting ready to really elevate into a potential star player. And he has really struggled as well. So really, going into the season, the concern for the offensive line was the interior. And it's been the tackle that have really been the most disappointing. So I have to think Houston's going to feel really good about being able to get consistent pressure on Trevor Lawrence without having to vote resources through the court. Hey, we've heard all about it. I'm curious from your perspective. Is it more of a system and coaching issue with your quarterback? He got the big contract. Everybody talking about Trevor Lawrence, he's got the commercials and all the kind of hype train. But is this fixable? Because we've been through these situations even before Deshawn got a big contract. At a certain point, you start wondering, is it him and the ability? Or is it truly just the system and coaching? I think it's more coaching. I think Trevor Lawrence can be a good player in this league. He's got to improve his instincts. You know, that's something that I do think we sort of miss with him coming out of Clemson is in high school and in college. You know, he's won all these games and won them by a lot of points for the most part. He really hadn't been in a lot of situational football. And so I think his instinct, because he's still a young guy. He's only 24, you know, he's younger than Will Leven, who, you know, it doesn't feel like it should be that way, which Trevor being in his fourth year. But, you know, he was three and out at Clemson and his instincts just need to improve. And I think they will, but I do think it's more of the system. I think what the Jaguars are doing offensively, you know, maybe it was, it could work in 2017. I just think that the league is a ball and Doug Peterson and Chris Taylor have not really evolved with it. And I think they've been caught. And so I think Trevor Lawrence was the white coach. You know, it was safe in Johnson, the Lions offensive coordinator, that he ends up getting the Jacksonville job should have come open. You know, that's the partnership that I think somebody can get Trevor Lawrence playing in the top quadrant. I don't know that whatever gonna be Trevor Lawrence is a top three or four quarterback in the league. But I think he's, I think he's very much capable of being a top, you know, eight quarterback in the league. But he's not, and he's not without fault. He's not playing well, but I think it's more Doug Peterson and Chris Taylor than I think it's Trevor Lawrence. - Hey, he's really great insight from the Jags perspective. Stay safe and catch up with you down the road. - Gentlemen, thank you so much, take care. - It's Hayes Carlian, Jags reporter, co-host the frangy show on 1010 XL in Jacksonville. - Owning a rental property sounds like a dream until you realize how much work goes into getting it ready.
