  Speaker 1: right now. Welcome on The Doug Peterson Show, presented by

  Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. J P. Shadrick,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Jeff Lockman, No Doug Peterson in the preseason schedules are
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: wild and training camp and getting ready for preseason Week two,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers come to town. It's the third Jaguars
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: game of the preseason, of course, after the Hall of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Fame game and then the Browns game. The Steelers this
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: week and the next week at Atlanta. It's a seven
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: o'clock kickoff Saturday at t I A. A. Bank Field.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Jeff Lagerman, good afternoon times, kickoff seven oh seven official,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: beautiful and beautiful, beautiful, looking forward to that and UH,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I bet you the uh the Pittsburgh Steeler faithful show up.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Jaguars fans will be loud and proud. It should be.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It should be a good atmosphere, especially with the starters
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: playing in the first half and maybe the halftime that'll
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: be that'll be a lot of fun. Those towels are ugly,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not a fan. Well you don't
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: like teal towels? No, no, no, the Steelers terrible towels.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's there's teal towels here, not not yellow? Yeah?
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Good god? Who invented the time? Yes, good job, that's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: what's just seeing. If JP was on it. My favorite
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Cope line is joy and double joy. I don't even
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: know what that means, but it's hilarious. He was a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: legendary Pittsburgh Steelers broadcaster for many years. Hey, so it's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: pre season week two and many teams at least consider
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this the dress rehearsal game. Some Doug Peterson spoke today
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: or before practice in fact, and was asked how long
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the starters will play this Saturday. From from a playing standpoint,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to see the the starters go into
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the second quarter again this week. I think our defense
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: needs to be on the field a little bit more. Um.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You know that they've played well in the first two games,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they just haven't played long enough. Um. So I definitely
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: want to see them play a little bit more, you know, offensively,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: if we can, if we can do the things we
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: did last week and and sort of clean up some
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of the execution things. Yeah, into the second quarter. So
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to Doug Peterson's point, the defense last week, Trayvon Walker
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: played nine snaps in that game. The defense got off
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the field quickly, they did their job, they got a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: three and out of takeaway. They just weren't on the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: field a whole lot. So you know, it'd be nice
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to see them a little bit more, just see them
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: operate as a defense. Well, I want to see the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: starters regardless. I mean not because they only had nine
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: snaps against Cleveland. I just I want to be entertained
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: with the front line guys. And the longer the look
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that you can get this week, the more comfortable you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: kind of feel as a fan. Right, if they have
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a good performance, you're like, yeah, it kind of felt
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that way last week, right, even though it was just
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a quarter or whatever, and I believe it felt good.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You can you create any momentum going in the regular
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: season with the preseason, I think you can in some ways.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Well let me just let me correct myself or kind
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of change it. From this perspective, you can create a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: lot of negativity by poor performance in the preseason and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of doubt if you don't play well. If
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and can you can, can you create momentum and positivity
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: going in the regular season. Sure, I think everything matters.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And for a young team that's trying to establish a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: new system and a new coach and in a new
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: way of doing business, in a in a new culture,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I think all of that stuff matters. And you look
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to the Baltimore Ravens. Okay, they've created an incredible culture
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of winning that was established in the preseason. How many
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: consecutive games I mean, I mean it's years of it. Yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. So I mean all that stuff matters, And
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: so I think that this game matters. That I'm excited
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to see the starting guys and hopefully Pittsburgh play some
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of their starters into this game because you want to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you want to have your guys going against their guys.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You don't want to have your guys going and all
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, Pittsburgh's not playing anybody. Could that happen?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Sure could. Mike Tomlin might have a different philosophy about
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this week. He might want to play his guys the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: third game, or he might not want to not want
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to play his guys at all. I I don't know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: but I think that, Uh, either way, I'm excited about
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: seeing our guys logs. You know, earlier this week on Wednesday,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense had some issues against the Jags defense.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: There was some interceptions, some drops, just some miscommunication in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the backfield and a couple of instance just was not
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the smoothest of practices, as Trevor Lawrence put it. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: then even today it was a half speed tempo today,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: but it kind of felt like we're still kind of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: coming off that bad, you know, performance on the practice
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: this field on Wednesday. How do you snap out of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that as an offense? And where do you begin with that?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: The start with six Well, that thing, it starts with everybody.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And and the challenges always with offenses consistency. The great
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: offenses always are consistent. And uh, when you have a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: new coaching staff, you have a new system, you have
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: new players, you have a new environment. All of this
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: is so new. It takes time to build that and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the process of building is going to continue through the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: preseason and it also it continues into the regular season,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and you know, you hope that the consistency that you're
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: striving for will start to show up, and that's not
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: easy to do. The reality is, was yesterday's practice Wednesday's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: practice tough? Yeah, I mean, it wasn't a great offensive practice.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: But there's also the other perspective. Okay, the glasses half full, JP,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and that's class is half full. Well, I'm gonna give
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you a different approach. Defense had a great practice on Wednesday?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yes they did, right, I mean, you could look at
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it from that perspective. And that's the challenge of the preseason.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And that's sometimes I've been on teams to where you've
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: had what practices that didn't feel good, and then you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you had a marvelous year or marvelous week, and then
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: sometimes you had a practice that was amazing and then
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you came out on the game time and you didn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: play well or you didn't play well that year. So
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to gauge in preseason games were probably
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: one of the most difficult things to gauge success or
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the lack of success in the future off of It's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: just sometimes it just makes no sense just because you
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: could have two completely different varied approaches from the teams
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: that are coming together to play a game that you're
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: not really planning at all for that team's scheme. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of instances, but the one thing that we
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: saw happen on Wednesday which was encouraging was it wasn't
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a great practice. There were a lot of guys and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it was it was a grinder. Now, I mean that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: was that was a law practice to two and a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: half and hard. I mean guys, some guys you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: had to look appeared to leave practice because of dehydration
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: or heat whatever. And then after practice, the offense had
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a player's only meeting and I don't know what was said,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: we're not privy to that, but you could kind of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: get the vibe that it was based on, hey, look
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: what we just had in practice was not, okay, we
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: need to be better than that. And uh, you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly who started. I thought Dan Arnold
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: might have been one of the guys, and then Trevor
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: looked like he was talking. So, I mean, that's good stuff.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: When the players start taking ownership and the coaches don't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: feel like that they're the ones that always have to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: end up delivering the message. Then you kind of know
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that you're making progress because the players are the ones
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that have to carry the message and play the game.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You know, you don't want too many you those meetings though, right,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I mean you you have too many players only meetings.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: That means things aren't going so well. Yeah, well, I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: mean you don't want to start having one of those
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: things happen every week. But winning teams baseball used to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: do that. They have these closed door meetings and the clubhouse.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Players only in baseball for two weeks straight and they're
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: twenty games out of first of course they're gonna have
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: team meetings, you know, and talk about it. They're drinking
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: beer in the in the locker room for those baseball
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: out of first place. But that, yeah, you have too
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: many of those that you know things are going the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: wrong way, so let's limit those. But they have to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: strive for consistency. And then after that practice, Trevor met
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the media and he talked about that specifically about the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: need to find consistency. And that's the challenge, and that's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that's why you practice, that's why you play preseason games.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: If you just automatically just went out there and everything
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: was consistent. What the hell you practicing for? I mean, okay,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you got it. You know, it doesn't happen that way.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: It it takes time and and it's the same thing
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: with the coaching staff. The coaching staff is still trying
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to find their rhythm with a lot of these new
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: coaches that they're working with, and they're trying to find
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: what works best for them from a daily structure standpoint
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and game planning standpoint and time management standpoint. You know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Mike Caldwell is probably in the same boat. I mean,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: here's the first time defensive coordinator, you know, trying to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: do things that you know defensive coordinators do, and he's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: doing it all for the very first time. Now he's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: got some people that he can and can talk to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Bob Sutton, he can talk to Doug, he can talk
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to other coaches and get input. But you know, there's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it's a process, g P. It's a process for everybody.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Speaking of defense, we'll hear Doug Peterson and his thoughts
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: on how long it might take to implement a new
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: scheme on the defensive side of the ball that's coming
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: up and we are often running this is the Doug
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show, presented by the Florida Department of Highway
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Safety and Motor Vehicles. JP Shattrick with Jeff Logerman. No
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in the preseason. They're over their meeting right now,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: they're getting ready for Saturday game Prime Mode logs. So
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: is today is today like the official breaking of camp?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I think that's early next week, right before the trip
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to Atlanta. Think they break out of the hotel and
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: do all that before they go up there, and then
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: once they're back, I think they're back. But the segment
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of practices at Episcopal, it's over over all over. Today
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was the last day. By the way, kudos to everybody
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: for for making that happen. That was what a great
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: set up, what a great facility, and I know it
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: was kind of a partnership with many and the Jaguars
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: went in there and did a lot of improvements, which
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: is going to benefit Episcopal in the long term because
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: now they get uh three or two incredible fields out
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of it, which is awesome. But a great, great set
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: up and kind of a little hidden Jim, I didn't
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: even know that that even existed in that part of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the world. I know, right, I kind of drive by
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: there sometimes on beach, but like totally hit. Never been
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: inside the gate. And I see the gate, but I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: didn't know it was back there tennis courts, and yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that's pretty totally hidden. And the only thing that I'd
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: like to see maybe next time is maybe some covered
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: areas for us, JP, me and you personally some good
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: sun though you know shade, you know, oh, I know
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: what shade is that it was not much out there.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: There was here from Doug Peterson about the episcopal experience
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: for his football team, and yeah, thanks a lot to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the Episcopal School of Jacksonville, he says. Even though this
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: team has been built around in the thirty four um,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: there's some there's some nuances in it because you it
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: really plays like a four down front um and and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you're moving, you're moving parts around. You know, you got
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Trayvon and Josh who stay left and right, they don't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: necessarily trade sides. You got your inside backers that's kind
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of stayed left and right, and and so you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: understanding formations, some three or four teams will actually flip
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: flip those outside and inside guys. So they're always strong
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and weak, and you know it has some consistency that way.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's one thing about our scheme here
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and what Mike is broad is that they can stay.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: They can stay on that one side and learn that
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: one side. But again there you know, the tight end
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: could be two of them, tight end could be away.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And then there's some details of of just where the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: where the front needs to be set and you know
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: obviously the run lanes and um the run fits and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and where the safety's insert and you know, so a
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: lot of that takes time, um with just the details
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and the practice of everything. That's Doug Peterson on the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: timing it takes to get a defense installed, new unit,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: new group. Will hear from Doug on the Episcopal campus
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: coming up just a little bit later. But interesting what
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: he said right Thereren, He's talking about Trayvon and Josh
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: being outside linebacker kers and do you flip flop him.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I think all the the great players that have rushed
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the past or typically have had a side. Um when
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you watched the Pittsburgh Steelers do it with Kevin Green
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and Greg Lloyd, you know Kevin was left side, great
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: was right side. All the time, all the time, I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: didn't and did a flip flop. I mean maybe once
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: in a blue moon. T J. Watt doesn't flip flop
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and go over to the right side a whole lot.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: He's a left side guy. Um, there's a comfort level,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: just like a left tackle, an offensive left tackle, an
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: offensive right tackle. When you make the switch, it's just
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: like you're your feet. Your feet are different right, it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: completely different, the way you step, the way you approach
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a tackle. And so it's I I think that Josh
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: is better on the outside of the left, and I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: definitely think that Trayvon is more comfortable outside on the right.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And could they get more comfortable, sure by by splitting time.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: But it's it's almost to where you want to become
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: an expert in your craft. It's hard to be an
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: expert unless you live on that street all you know
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: full time. You know you want to, you want to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: make sure you do. If you want to know your neighborhood,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: live in that neighborhood, you know what I mean. So
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: if you want to be really good on the right,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you stay on the right. You want to be really
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: good on the life, you stay on the left. But
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I think that there will be times to where you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: have guys standing up and moving around at some point,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: just maybe take advantage of the confusion factor to maybe
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: trick a young quarterback and who's coming, who's not, who's
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: rushing from where where they eventually gonna end up. So
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you want to kind of keep that in your pocket
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit. And maybe maybe Doug is totally blown
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of smoke might be and the weak one
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: September eleven, He's gonna unleash the beasts and maybe they
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: might start flip flopping him all the time, you know,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and he, yeah, fooled you all your offensive core sinators
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that were reading the Jaguars press clippings in the preseason.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: It's right, you never know, you never know. It's poker game, right,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: why not keep your cards close to the vest. I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: will say that they they do have a little element
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of surprise, and why not take advantage of it. This
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is a it's a new staff. It's a you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: if you look at the offense and people say, well,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: it's Doug Peterson's offense, sure it is. But he also
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: has Press Taylor as an offensive coordinator. He also has
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Mike McCoy as a as a quarterbacks coach who has
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: been a coordinator, head coach Jim Bob Cooter, who is
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the passing game coordinator. There's a lot of people that
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: can provide input. Trevor, Lawrencekins and provide some input. Absolutely.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So this is and we've said this in years past,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: but the reality is true and that every year you're
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: creating with a new staff, you're creating something that's the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Jaguars offense. It's not just Doug's offense or just Trevor's offense. Now,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: if Trevor was like Peyton Manning and wonder when Peyton
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Manning made the move from Indy to go to Denver, Well,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Denver started running Peyton's offend because that's what he was comfortable. Yeah, okay,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: so listen, you know, Peyton, we're gonna we're gonna make
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: you flywer. I know you're coming off a neck thing,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you know, but we want you to learn this new
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: language as well and this new system. It was just
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: like Tom Brady going from New England to Tampa. Do
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you think that it became all, well, well, no, it's
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: bruce Arians offense here. Well, yeah, it was some of Bruce's,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: but it was also you know, no risk, no biscuit,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. But then a lot of it was Tom
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Brady's comfort level and the concept that he was familiar with.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: That's just the way it works. Hey, there's a battle
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: going on on the offensive line logs, and we're gonna
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: come back and hear about one settled and one still ongoing. Yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: kind of settled. I guess you could say one of
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: them is kind of more settled than it has apparently
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: more settled. One is rage. One of them is rocking
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and rolling. Now we'll hear from Doug Peterson on that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: right tackle battle for the Jaguars when we returns The
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome Back. The Doug
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome back to Doug Peterson Show.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Presented by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Vehicles and the Steelers Jaguars game coming up Saturday, preseason
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Week two. The game presented by pet Paradise with over
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: fifty locations to serve pet fanatics like you nationwide. Look
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: today at pet paradise dot com. Pet Paradise the official
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: pet care provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars, j P. Shadrick
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: with Jeff Lagman. There is a raging battle on the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: offensive line. There are two actually, but one is I
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: guess really starting to go now in preseason week two.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: It's the right tackle pos Walker Little Joan Taylor. Taylor
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is the incumbent Walker little down his second year, got
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: some time late last season. All right, so where are they?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson earlier today before practice gave us an update.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting battle. Um, you know, I think I
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: think this game will be important for both both players, um,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: you know, And and I like how Jawn's responded coming
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: off the injury and how he's how he played last
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: week and how he's practiced. Walkers done done an outstanding
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: job as well. So it's very interesting, you know for us. Um,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: we're kind of in a good spot with it because
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: you can kind of go either way and and and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the other guy can be the swing tackle or or whatever. So, um,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I think this week will be important. And then even
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: when we go to Atlanta and practice against Atlanta will
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: be another another good opportunity for both of them. All right.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: So from that blogs, they are far from finished in
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: this battle. They've got a lot of work to do
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I think it was. I think it's an interesting battle.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: The Hall of Fame game. Walker Little played well. Joan
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Taylor was out with an injury, I think a hamstring,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and you're like thinking, Okay, Walker Little's winning this because
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Juwan is unavailable and you're basing his performance on his
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: performance in the past. Well, Juan comes back, he's practicing
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: pretty good. It's not perfect. And then I thought Walker
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Little took a step back against Cleveland as far as
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the performance that he had in the game and then
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: his practice yesterday, I didn't think it was great. And
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Smooth put him on his can in a pass rush
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: move one time that was kind of embarrassing. I mean it,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: it can happen, but that's not kind of what you
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: want to have happened, you know what I mean. So
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I think this battle is open, and I think it's
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: gonna go all the way until you get to Flowery
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Branch and um. But the sooner you get it resolved,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I think the better, because you know, the whole thing
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: about offensive line is continuity, working together, comfort with the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: guy beside you, having that kind of unspoken understanding of
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: where your guy is gonna be in winning needs to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: be there, and when you're constantly churning who's in the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: lineup at right tackle, because in practice they're alternating like
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: every snapper every two snaps. Sometimes in a competition you'll
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: rotate every series. But they've been doing in every couple
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: of plays. And and look, they've been very civil with
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: each other. They're high five in each other on the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: way in and out, and it's you know, it's I've
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: talked to both of them this week and both said
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that it's all fine. Their teammates are gonna help each
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: other out. And then whoever wins the job wins it.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: So as long as it makes the position better than good.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: But you want to make sure that also that you
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: don't lose sight of the fact that you need to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: make your five better. And so the sooner that you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: can resolve at the better. You know, left guard BArch
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: was inserted in as the starter yesterday and Shatley was
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: moved back to what Shatley's perfect role is, which is
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: as a backup center, swing guy on game day, first
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: guy in on any of those three interior spots. That's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: where his value is. Smart, tough, available, strong, That's Shatley,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you know, he was he was snapping for the second
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: team offense today right and he did take some snaps
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: yesterday when Bart ended up going out with sickness, illness, heat, dehydration,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: whatever above maybe yeah, whatever it was. But you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: so and and Barts has gotta he's gotta work to
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: get better too. He's got to work to find that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: continuity with Cam and worked to find that continuity with
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: with the young center Luke Fortner and uh in a
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: battle at right tackle is something that I think is
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: gonna be an incredible watch if if you're watching preseason
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: football all on television, UH, watch the right tackles. I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: mean that's a that's a I mean, first of all,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: watch Trevor Lawrence. Okay, thank you, and watch Trevor Lawrence
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: with the new pieces of those Yeah, but they won't
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: have time if the right tackles are spending top so well,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of things to watch, but
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: but that's that's something that is uh is, Look, if
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: right tackle is the most watch position, then you know
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you're you're doing pretty good. It's better than Pittsburgh situation
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: where they're trying to figure out who the quarterback is,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and way better than Cleveland situation and where they're going. Okay, now,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: what do we do with these last two weeks of
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: preseason and who are we going to get reps going
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: in the season because DeShawn has now been suspended for
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: eleven games and a five million dollar final will be
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: given a charity. And oh, by the way, uh, he's innocent.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: He said he's innocent. Didn't do anything wrong. Remember it
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: could always be worse. Yeah, so things are going cizar thing.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Things are going okay, So that's like you want to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: talk about bizarro. You know, I really don't want to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: talk about bizarre. I know, but I think of it.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: It is totally bizarre. I think I'm good. Let's come
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: back and we'll hear from Doug Peterson on the Episcopal
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: School and the host of the last three weeks of
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: training camp. This is the Doug Peterson Show on the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: right now. My hat's off to Episcopal for allowing us
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to uh, you know, come out here and and sort
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: of invade there their space a little bit, are you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: also to our grounds crew to you know, to put
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: these fields down and and really a lot of work
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of man hours went
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: into you know, getting getting us over here, um you
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: know from the from the buses every day too, you know,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: just the timing of everything. And I just can't say
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: enough good things about this situation. The guys have really
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it, kind of getting away from our building a
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: little bit and getting outside here and it's been it's
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: been really good. And and we've been very fortunate to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: have this as head coach, Doug Peterson. This is the
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show. And if you're watching on Jaguars dot
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Com or Jaguars social media Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, you're
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: taking a look at some of the construction of those
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: fields at Episcopal. They took out the old fields and
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: put in brand new turf and it turned out fantastic
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: in the Episcopal soccer and lacrosse teams will practice out
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: there moving forward. So really great surface and yeah, thanks
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: again to the folks of Episcopal. And and today after practice,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and in fact, Doug Peterson invited the head of school,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the Reverend Adam Green, and the director of Athletics, Andy Kidd,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to break down the team. They talked the team after
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: practice today. So that was pretty cool. Nice. Yeah, the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: uh fields probably might be underwater right now, get a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: little wet here in Jackson. Good thing they got the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: pra this in this morning, which is part of the idea,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: right Doug Peterson said, Hey, it's gonna rain every afternoon,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: let's get out there in the morning eight thirty and
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: be out of there by eleven thirty at the latest.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: It's smart. It's one of the one of the best
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: practice surface fields that I have seen the Jaguars practice on.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it was incredible, um level, the grass perfect.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't know. You wouldn't even know that they've been
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: practicing on it for what fourteen days? Practices over fourteen days. Yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just it's just it looks still brand
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: new and it looks like no, nothing's really impacted at all.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: So credit to the grounds crew. They've done an amazing job.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And he mentioned they're the folks with the Jaguars who
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: kind of put the schedule together and worked it out.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: They started doing that in April, I mean when they
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: had to figure out, okay, where are we actually going
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: for training camp and worked it out with Episcopal and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: made all that happen it's it's a lot more than
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: just showing up with a bus full of football players,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: trust me, and the ability to get that field ready,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and then the logistics of getting the team over there
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and back, the security involved even overnight, to to keep
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: things safe that are out there. I mean, there's a
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: lot that goes into it. So a lot of effort
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and a lot of money, a lot, and hey, you
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: know what, it's gonna pay off because next year the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Jaguars are scheduled to be in the Miller Electric Center
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: just outside t i A. Bank Field. There will be
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: about one hundred a little more than twenty one hundred
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: seats available for training camp next year on the two
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: outdoor fields. And then of course the one thousand square
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: foot building that's next door to it. It's gonna be unbelievable.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Think about that. It's a lot over a hundred thousand
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: square feet. That's a lot of room for activities, that's immense,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and then still have the ability to keep a lot
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: of the business side of things still operating in the stadium.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's uh, that's a that's a that's a big,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: big building and it's gonna be beautiful. I can't wait
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to see the city and the Jaguars went in a
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: half and half on that project and it should be
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: really I think the start of something special around the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: stadium down here and moving ahead of course, next the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: shipyards is next on the docket after that, and we'll
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: see we're gonna start seeing things come out of the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: ground very soon over there. Well, I'm looking forward to
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: seeing some winning come out of the ground with this
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: year JP And that's what I'm looking forward to with Doug,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: with Doug at the Helm and and Trevor at the Helm,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that's what that's what I am most looking forward to.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Wins w's that's what it's all about. Let's come back.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from Doug Peterson ahead the Jaguars and the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Steelers coming up this Saturday in preseason week two. And
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: this is the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. I just think
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: it was warm and humid yesterday. I mean it wasn't.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I think it was in the sixty seven percentile as
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: far as humidity goes. You know meteorologists now, but um, yeah,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: it was warm yesterday, and I don't know that part,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: but it was it was warm yesterday and also coming
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: off a day off. You know, Um, we've seen that
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: this year when you get a day off and you
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: try to come back and work. But um, guys do
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: a good job of taking care of their bodies. They understand.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna we're playing in the heat, humidity
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: and uh you know we play at one o'clock on
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Sunday afternoons at the Bank, so you know, we gotta
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: prepare for that. Head coach Doug Peterson called up the Bank.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I love that. Welcome back. It's the Doug Peterson Show.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: No Doug Peterson with us in the preseason and its
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: training camp, their meetings. There's a lot going on right
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: now ahead of this preseason week. Two games at the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Bank this Saturday got the lingo down. Yes he does.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: The Steelers and the Jaguars coming up. And yes, it
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: was hot. It has been hot most of camp. That's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: how it works. When you live here for a while,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: you kind of figure out that in the morning the
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: humidity is incredibly high and you get no breeze until
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the afternoon. So it's just the way it is. But
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: would you rather wait and try to dodge lightning in
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the afternoon. By having the practice then uh no, thanks,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: So you just suck it up and your practice once
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a day. So it's you know, it's it's doable. You
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: can handle it, no problem. They got it done, which
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: is good. I just look, you know, you know it's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be hotter next week in Flowery Branch. Apparently it's been.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: It can be. But the humidity here is is what
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: especially in the morning, the humidity can be incredibly high.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: But I mean, look, the reality is is that this
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: is where you play, and it's a home field advantage,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: and when you acclimate to it and when you learn
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to adjust your body to it, when you are are
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: getting to the point where you know how to hydrate,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you know how to get prepared for a game, and
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: how to hydrate for a game. There's been many a
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: team that have come in here and have gotten slapped
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: upside the head from the heat and humidity and they
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: can't deal with it at all. And I can tell
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: you that from years of playing in New York. When
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the schedule came out, the first thing that I looked
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: at was when did we play the Miami Dolphins for real?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And the reason I looked was because I wanted to.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I was hoping that we would play Miami early in
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the season because at least you have some kind of
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: uh being used to the heat. Because if you had
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: to come down to Miami in November and December, well
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: it's forty five degrees high and New York at that time,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and you're not used to the heat, and you come
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: down the heat and you just you do you get gassed.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: So this is an advantage and you have to look
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: at it from that aspect. And and when you do
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and you realize that this is what we play in,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: this is our advantage, it gives you a mindset that
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I'm tougher than him because this is my this is
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: my house, and this is my environment. I'm ready for it.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I am acclimated. They're not, and I'm gonna be tougher
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: than they are. That's the mindset you have to have
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: as a team. The Jaguars earlier this week released veteran
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: defensive tackle Malcolm Brown. He was traded over to the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Jaguars before last season from the New Orleans Saints. Had
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: plenty of time, of course, with the New England Patriots
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowl rings with them why the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: move lugs and and what do they do now at
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: that spot or are they good well we talked a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: little bit about that, I mean you did, and that
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I told you that I didn't think Malcolm Brown was
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: playing very well. That's what I saw. And this is
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: a production business, and when your performance isn't where it
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: has been or where it needs to be, then they're
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: gonna move on. And I think out of respect for him,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: they allowed him an early release with an opportunity maybe
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: catch on sooner rather than later. But the reality is
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that he was not playing well and Devon Hamilton's has
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: been playing better than him, And to be perfectly honest
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: with you, Gossis is playing better than what Malcolm Brown
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: was playing. And so that was all performance. That's There's
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: nothing else to that other than performance, because he seemed
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: like a good guy to have along. There's no oh,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: he got in trouble or he you know, broke curfew
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and they're making an example. I mean, none of the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: none of that performance. I mean, he's good guy, quality guy,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't playing well. And when you don't play well, you
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: gotta move on to the players that are playing well,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: because you're taking away the opportunities for them to get better,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: to continue to give reps to a guy that's not
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: playing well and not playing well for I mean, it's
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: it's not It wasn't a health issue or anything else.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: So just time to kind of turn the page. You know.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Social media is a buzz a lot about a bunch
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: of different things. Logs. Yesterday, social media was a buzz
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: about because they wanted the Jaguars to sign in Dominan Sue,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: who is a free agent. I'm all for it. SU's
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: what thirty five doesn't matter. He's still good player. Okay, yeah,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: but okay what he you would be for that? Heck yeah,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: would he be for that? Is it's just you know,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: what's the number? You know, he's been making eight nine
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: ten million a year. Um, Jaguars have that room. I
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: don't know, Uh, I don't know, but there and Dominican
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Sue is a really good football player. He's incredibly strong
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people say where would he play?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: He would be one of your defensive ends. One thing
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: you can do and this whole Malcolm Brown, Malcolm typically
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: was the nose tackle. Okay, so so Devon Hamilton's Alcolm Brown.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: They were when you're when you're in your big pack
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: as your your base package, you would have Malcolm Brown
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and Devon Hampton is your nose tackle. Okay, there's your
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: first and second team nose tackle right over the center right.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And then on your your defensive end, you had uh
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Fotakasi fully Fasi from the jet to free agents. That
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: you got big man, and then you got Roy Robertson
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Harris at the other defensive end, another big man. Okay,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: your next backups probably Smoot obviously, because Smoot is a good,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: good football player, but I mean as far as big
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: guys go, it's probably a gotsis. Now what do you do? Okay,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: if if you needed somebody to play nose tackle, Fokasi
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: can play nose tackle, no problem. I mean he's a
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: big man, big man, big man, big strong man can play.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: So it's not like he's a He's a defensive end
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and only a defensive end. So if you can you
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: can maybe play some other defensive end at the defensive
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: end spot. You could move Fotakasi for some reps in
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: at the nose tackle position. By J. T. Fell He's
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: not shown much yet. You know this is this is
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a production again, this is a production based business and
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: J two Felli hasn't earned He hasn't earned that yet,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and I hope he does, but as of right now,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I don't see that earned playtime. And is he you know,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: let me think about him last year. I mean, how
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: was he active one time? I don't remember it. And
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: then this year from what I've seen on film, Um,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot of work to do. We'll return
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: plenty more ahead. The Jaguars and the Steelers coming up
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: this Saturday evening at t I A A. Bank Field.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: And this is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Radio Network. Welcome back to the Doug Peterson Show, presented
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: The Jags and the Steelers coming up preseason week to
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: this Saturday night at t I A bank Field. Jap, Shadrick,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Jeff Logman, glad you with us. No Doug Peterson on
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: this show. In the preseason, they're busy getting ready for
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the games. Campus here, grind mos here, that's what it is.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: This time of year gets you gotta do's you gotta
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: do football games here. Those those coaches now, um, from
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the time football season starts until it ends. There's not
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of time to be spent anywhere than
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: grinding on the job. That that job is not for everybody. No,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: it's not, it is not. It rarely ends. And you know,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: how you win football games is with strong special teams
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: units and great players on those special teams. That's right.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: So that'll be a focus of course, and the next well,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: this week certainly, and then really in preseason week three,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the final game, when you're trying to carve down and
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: figure out who's gonna make that final cut. A lot
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: of that will come down to how some of these
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: players perform on special teams and log as we always
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: say that, oh, you gotta perform on special teams. So
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: what are you really looking at when you're looking at
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a special teams player? Well, because the reality is a
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: lot of people, a lot of people try to you know,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: because you got the state at home general managers that
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: are trying to cut the Jaguars roster, right, and like
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Pete Prisco well and and and you know some of
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the guys that are in the media, they all try
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: to figure out the Jaguars roster and a lot of
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: times they're looking at it from the perspective of, Okay,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: what's let's look at one position, Let's say linebacker. Okay,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: who's the best linebackers to keep? Well, you look at
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: who's the best linebackers to keep for the first and
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the second and then probably the third player, but then
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: after that the fourth player. You're starting to wait special
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: teams in that decision making. Now you're definitely your because
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: your backups have to all play. But how good of
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: us you might keep a player who's actually better on
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: special teams but not as good as a linebacker because
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the role he's gonna fill is not as a starting linebacker,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the role he's gonna fills as a core four special
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: teams player. Give you another example, like the safety is
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars have. Let's look at that position because I'm
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you this is a position that's strong when
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: it comes to special teams. Cisco and Ray Shawn Jenkins
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: are gonna have limited special teams exposure. They're gonna be
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: playing every snap on defense. Okay, Andrew Winger special teams
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: core guy, Daniel Thomas special team's core guy, Rudy for
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: special teams core guy. Here's another one that's an excellent
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: special teams player. But then you start to issue you
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: talk about numbers. How many can you keep? Russ Snack?
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean it's one of those guys that
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: you know you'd love to keep because of special teams,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: But do you can you do it? Can you keep
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you know, two starters and four backups at this or
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: that's for your four backups at that safety position? That
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: you can? You know, so special team always a factor.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: And me and you had this conversation today and I
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: was pointing something out to you. Yeah, and this is
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: what he's far well actually talked about this last week. Also,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: when you want to find out who coaches trust, I
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: mean really trust on special teams, look at who's playing
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: on punt protection. I'm not saying the gunners, okay, I'm
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: talking about the guys that prevent a block punt. Those
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: are the guys that the special teams coordinator and the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: head coach trust because a block punt by itself can
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: lose you a game. No matter how good your offense
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and your defense is. You have to trust those guys
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to protect the punt. And when you are evaluating roster
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: and you're okay, you want to do that play at home,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: general manager, take a look at who the special teams
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: coaches playing on punt protection, and then the guys that
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: you see on that first unit and in preseason, those
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: are the guys that he believes he can trust until
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: they prove otherwise. And then in the second team unit
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: as well, because there's only so many spots to play
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: guys on punt protection, and you're gonna trust the guys
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: on punt protection. So that's that's like a little indicator
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: for I'd love to see the stats on how many
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: what what the record is when you have a punt
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: blocked in a game and your winning percentage, I want
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to say the win percentage. And I saw this stat
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: somewhere if you allow a score on special teams or
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: or there was a stat for that, and then and
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: there's another one for a block punt, the score on
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: special teams. I want to say, your chances of winning
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: is like and then block punt. I want to say
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: it ends up somewhere around. Your chances of winning are
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: like thirty five or it's not very good, something like that.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: It's all what do you what do you call the
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: uh the number stuff analytics, analytics of it all. Thank you, Jap.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I'm still getting with the pro over here. Lugs big analytics. Well,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Tony Conn's got mean him and I have actually talked
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: about this and there's a there's a lot of numbers.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for example, like when an offense
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: gets the ball and they start, let's say on the
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: what's the percentage of scoring, and what's the percentages of
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: scoring when they start at the thirty to the thirty
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: five or the thirty five to the forty. The numbers
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: just continue to grow exponentially. When you're talking about the
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: analytics of field, of starting the field position for an offense,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. Let's come back in a moment our final
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: thoughts ahead of the Steelers Jaguars matchup this Saturday at
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the Bank. And this is the Doug Peterson Show on
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: We're back. It's the Doug Peterson Show. J P. Shadrick,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman, the Jaguars and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the old rivals.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Lots to look forward to in this game. J B. Like, what,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: first of all, that the one thing that I always
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: look forward to at this point is Trevor Lawrence. You
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: want to see progress. You want to see him starting
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: to own the offense and then with his new weapons
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: that he has. A Jones has obviously been talked about
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: a lot this week, Chris Taylor, and he's had a
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: great camp so far. But this is gonna be the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: debut for Jaguar fans, for Christian Kirk, the prize free
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: agent acquisition, who is an incredibly quarterback friendly wide receiver.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to all of these guys playing together on
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: offense and then defensively. Trayvon Walker, I just can't take
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: my eyes off of him. I mean, I just literally
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the guy is fun to watch. You know, he's strong,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: he's athletic. But then this week we got a match
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: up that consists of a couple more Georgia Bulldogs and
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: that's Tython Campbell and then the Pittsburgh Steelers second round
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: pick uh picking, Yeah, George picking pickings and uh, everything
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: and everything that's being broadcast or reported out of Steelers
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: camp is that this guy is ridiculous. In fact, Deante
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Johnson was one of the guys that was singing his praises, saying,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: this guy's phenomenal. Well, I can't wait to see the
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: matchup of Tyson versus him. I hope we get it
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: because that's something that that I would have my popcorn
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: ready for. I think Tyson would ask for it just him.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Even though Tyson doesn't flip sides, he might he might
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: that week, you know. Yeah, but in preseason you're not
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: doing any of that stuff. But uh and oh, by
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: the way, just another little side note here. Me and
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: j P were at practice today and we kind of
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: hang out practice and talk with each other about practice
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and watch and some other things. We don't gossip in
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: the whole time, like you know, does we actually watch
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: watching practice? What we do? Logan Cook was pretentious today.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: If the Jaguar o his offense bogs down at midfield,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: well he's probably gonna put it inside the five. He
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: put on a lesson in Canton, and then today in
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: the drill it was just effortless punting to where he
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: was at midfield and he literally is dropping the ball
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: at the three yard line inside the five, inside the tent.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Every time it was like, this is too easy for him.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: It'll do it for our show tonight. Joe Fortunado, Brent Reeber,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: David Shoe Kate Watsky for Jeff Flagerman. I'm j P. Shadrick.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Will catch you next time. This has been the Doug
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network
