- 0:13Speaker 1: the latest Jaguars news with the head coach. That Doug
- 0:16Speaker 1: Peterson Show starts right now.
- 0:19Speaker 2: And Welcome in The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh
- 0:22Speaker 2: from Florida from the Hunday Studios at the Miller Electric Center.
- 0:25Speaker 2: We're on the Jaguars Radio Network presented by the University
- 0:28Speaker 2: of Florida. J. P. Shadrick with Jeff Flagoman and Jaguars
- 0:32Speaker 2: head coach Doug Peterson in studio with us. All Right,
- 0:35Speaker 2: bounce back ability. We're gonna find out how this team responds.
- 0:39Speaker 2: How has it been so far this week after the
- 0:42Speaker 2: loss in Miami?
- 0:43Speaker 3: It's been good.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Guys have really, I think taken taken Sunday's loss. You know,
- 0:50Speaker 4: I want to say they've taken it. They've taken it hard,
- 0:52Speaker 4: They've taken it. From the standpoint, we felt like we
- 0:54Speaker 4: kind of let one slide. You know, we didn't finish
- 0:57Speaker 4: that football game, and we had every opportunity to do that,
- 1:00Speaker 4: especially there at the end of the third quarter and
- 1:02Speaker 4: really kind of put the game away. We felt like
- 1:04Speaker 4: and and it was just a change of events, right.
- 1:07Speaker 4: I mean, we get the fumble and then next thing,
- 1:09Speaker 4: you know, is an eighty yard touchdown. So those are
- 1:11Speaker 4: things that we have to eliminate. Obviously we understand that.
- 1:14Speaker 4: But the guys have been in a good frame of mind.
- 1:15Speaker 4: They've been focused and you know, focused on the Browns so.
- 1:18Speaker 5: Many different times. You know, as a coach or as
- 1:21Speaker 5: a player, sometimes you're like, hey, we just got to
- 1:23Speaker 5: move past it. Let's flush that want and move on.
- 1:26Speaker 5: Is it good sometimes to chew on a tough one,
- 1:29Speaker 5: maybe a little bit longer than flushing it right away.
- 1:32Speaker 3: It is? It is because sometimes sometimes.
- 1:35Speaker 4: You know, even as coaches, we we we kind of
- 1:38Speaker 4: skim over the details because we're rushing into the next week.
- 1:41Speaker 4: We're trying to get the game plan ready for the
- 1:43Speaker 4: next week, and sometimes we can miss certain things. But
- 1:45Speaker 4: I think it's good to always remember, you know, the loss.
- 1:49Speaker 4: I always remember how we lost that game and why
- 1:52Speaker 4: we lost that game, and then and then keep that
- 1:55Speaker 4: in the forefront going into the next week. Even though
- 1:57Speaker 4: it's a different team. The things we can control, well,
- 2:01Speaker 4: we have to control them, and and the mistakes we
- 2:03Speaker 4: made in that game Sunday. We need to fix them.
- 2:06Speaker 4: And they're and they're simple things. These aren't like scheme
- 2:10Speaker 4: things or you know, just major uh major flaws in
- 2:14Speaker 4: the offense or defense. These are just things that that
- 2:16Speaker 4: guys need to pay attention and focus and just understand
- 2:18Speaker 4: their job and uh.
- 2:20Speaker 5: And part of that is the accountability of your leadership, right,
- 2:22Speaker 5: I mean the players on your team. It's great coming
- 2:25Speaker 5: from coaches, but it's even better when it's reinforced by
- 2:28Speaker 5: your leadership on the.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Team one hundred percent. And and and look, there are
- 2:32Speaker 3: mistakes gonna be made.
- 2:33Speaker 4: There's gonna be mistakes made. I'm not not discounting that.
- 2:36Speaker 4: But I think too when you're when the leadership of
- 2:38Speaker 4: your football team, whether it's your quarterback or tight end
- 2:41Speaker 4: or an offensive lineman and maybe a secondary player d
- 2:43Speaker 4: whoever it is, can hold each other accountable, that's when
- 2:47Speaker 4: you really know that, hey, I'm playing for you, for you,
- 2:51Speaker 4: the guy next to me, and and not necessarily I'm
- 2:53Speaker 4: playing for the coach. Right, You're playing for your buddy
- 2:55Speaker 4: and the guy that's in the trenches with you.
- 2:57Speaker 5: One player I wanted to bring up because it's on
- 2:59Speaker 5: the positive side, Brian Thomas junior. His first game is
- 3:02Speaker 5: a pro and to go to that touchdown play, there
- 3:05Speaker 5: were so many things that were really cool about it.
- 3:07Speaker 5: The throw by Trevor was amazing, the design was great.
- 3:11Speaker 5: But Brian Thomas, as he's navigating the waters to get
- 3:13Speaker 5: across the field, he is literally looking at the defenders
- 3:17Speaker 5: to try to find a path to get where he
- 3:19Speaker 5: needs to go. By the time his head gets back
- 3:22Speaker 5: to the ball, the ball is passed fifty percent on
- 3:24Speaker 5: the way to him, and he absolutely makes it look
- 3:28Speaker 5: effortless about how he controls his body the feed or
- 3:32Speaker 5: in the catch. You would have thought that he was
- 3:34Speaker 5: tracking the ball for an hour.
- 3:36Speaker 6: It looked so easy.
- 3:37Speaker 4: It was, and that it looked easy but as very
- 3:40Speaker 4: difficult to do because he was in the back half
- 3:42Speaker 4: of the end zone and be able to make that
- 3:43Speaker 4: catch over his shoulder to get both feet down. Just
- 3:47Speaker 4: the awareness and for a young player like that to
- 3:51Speaker 4: do that and really kind of show us that ability,
- 3:54Speaker 4: I mean, is is pretty special.
- 3:56Speaker 3: And you know this coach is too to that point too.
- 3:58Speaker 4: We try to put our players in and situations during
- 4:01Speaker 4: the week in practice where we may get a certain
- 4:04Speaker 4: look and we happen to get that look in practice
- 4:06Speaker 4: and Trevor and Brian made that made the same.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Throw and catch, you know, on Friday in practice.
- 4:11Speaker 4: So it just you know, things happened because we try
- 4:16Speaker 4: to put our players in those situations so that in
- 4:19Speaker 4: a game they can go play fast.
- 4:20Speaker 3: And that was a great example of Brian being able
- 4:22Speaker 3: to play fast.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson with us on the Doug Peterson Show.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Let's move ahead now to the Cleveland Browns coming in.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Brown's defense gave up over thirty points last week at
- 4:31Speaker 2: the Cowboys. You know, they're personnel, They've got it at
- 4:34Speaker 2: every level. And you know Jim Schwartz, the defensive coordinator
- 4:37Speaker 2: of course very well, what are some characteristics of a
- 4:40Speaker 2: Schwartz defense and what stands out about the Browns so far?
- 4:44Speaker 3: It's a rush, crush close terminology on defense.
- 4:48Speaker 4: And you know, this defensive line, these linebackers or they're
- 4:53Speaker 4: basically rushing the passer and stopping the run on the way.
- 4:57Speaker 4: That's kind of the mentality with this defense. And this
- 4:59Speaker 4: is an aggressive, talented group of guys.
- 5:01Speaker 3: And and you.
- 5:03Speaker 4: Know there were times last week against the Cowboys where
- 5:06Speaker 4: they they got after him and just felt like maybe
- 5:08Speaker 4: they were on the field a little bit too long
- 5:10Speaker 4: last week, and and you know it's a it's a
- 5:12Speaker 4: typical Jim Schwartz. I mean it's you see the wide nine,
- 5:15Speaker 4: you know, you see uh, you see the downhill. I mean,
- 5:18Speaker 4: you go back and watch our Eagles tape, you know,
- 5:21Speaker 4: from seventeen eighteen and when we had good defensive personnel
- 5:25Speaker 4: and and all of that, and you'll see the same scheme,
- 5:28Speaker 4: and you'll see the linebackers downhill. And he's got you know,
- 5:31Speaker 4: Jordan Hicks there in the middle, who we had, you
- 5:33Speaker 4: know in Philly, who's running the show again. And Rodney
- 5:35Speaker 4: mcclouds back there in the secondary. And and so they
- 5:38Speaker 4: got guys that are familiar with this scheme. But he's got,
- 5:42Speaker 4: you know, really good talent, really good personnel. Number ninety
- 5:45Speaker 4: five is a is a game wrecker and one of
- 5:47Speaker 4: the best, not only in our league, but you know,
- 5:49Speaker 4: could be could be you know, considered one of the
- 5:52Speaker 4: best all time.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's what ten sacks for ten six consecutive seasons.
- 5:58Speaker 2: There's only six guys that have that in league history.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Five of those are in the Hall of Fame and
- 6:02Speaker 2: other one's going with ye. And I was watching that game, okay,
- 6:05Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. And I was sitting there
- 6:07Speaker 2: trying to figure out if I had to pick one
- 6:09Speaker 2: player to start a defense, I don't know who I'd pick,
- 6:11Speaker 2: Michael Parsons or this guy number ninety five, because Miles
- 6:16Speaker 2: Garrett is an absolute beast. I don't know if there's
- 6:18Speaker 2: a better combination of size, speed, strength, length athleticism of
- 6:25Speaker 2: anybody in the league.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Now, you're absolutely right, you know, And what I really
- 6:29Speaker 4: really appreciate and respect about Miles Garrett is is he
- 6:33Speaker 4: plays extremely hard and fast, but he knows he's going
- 6:36Speaker 4: to get doubled dang near every pass that the quarterback
- 6:39Speaker 4: drops back.
- 6:40Speaker 3: And so you don't see him complaining. You don't see him.
- 6:43Speaker 4: It's just the respect that people and offenses give him.
- 6:46Speaker 4: And he just keeps coming, keeps coming, because there's going
- 6:48Speaker 4: to be that one time in the game when he's
- 6:51Speaker 4: going to be singled up on that tackle and he's
- 6:53Speaker 4: going to win, and you know, and that's that's what
- 6:56Speaker 4: they try to do. And so I've got a lot
- 6:58Speaker 4: of respect for Miles and just a really good player.
- 7:00Speaker 5: Fun to watch the lingo this week, Chips, bumps, doubles.
- 7:05Speaker 5: It's got to be a part of the game plan, right.
- 7:07Speaker 5: I mean, it's natural.
- 7:08Speaker 3: It is.
- 7:09Speaker 4: It's natural anytime you're playing guys like this, and then
- 7:12Speaker 4: they've got two edge edge players, really.
- 7:14Speaker 3: You know, and you know, but yeah, wherever ninety five is,
- 7:17Speaker 3: we got to count for him. He'll primarily be on
- 7:20Speaker 3: our left.
- 7:21Speaker 4: As an offense, he'll line up sometimes to our right.
- 7:23Speaker 4: He'll line up over the center. He could be a
- 7:24Speaker 4: three technique. So, you know, much like the Chris Jones
- 7:28Speaker 4: in Kansas City where he's very versatile alignment wise, we
- 7:32Speaker 4: have to be careful and understand where he's at.
- 7:34Speaker 6: A coach Doug Peterson with us.
- 7:35Speaker 2: We flip it around now to the Browns offense and
- 7:38Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson in the locker room yesterday for you look,
- 7:41Speaker 2: and I asked him, you know, is that the same
- 7:43Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson from eighteen to nineteen. He's like, that's still
- 7:46Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson over there. It may not look what last
- 7:50Speaker 2: week whatever. He was on the ground a lot running around.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Does he still have that in him when you look
- 7:55Speaker 2: at him on tape?
- 7:56Speaker 3: Yes, he does.
- 7:57Speaker 4: And that's the thing that you can't go to sleep
- 7:59Speaker 4: on any these guys and any of these players. And and
- 8:02Speaker 4: you know I played, I've played against and I shouldn't
- 8:05Speaker 4: I played, But I coached against Deshaun Watson when when
- 8:07Speaker 4: I was in Philly. And he can go out there
- 8:10Speaker 4: and and rush for two and run for two, you know,
- 8:13Speaker 4: in a hurry.
- 8:13Speaker 3: And you know he still has.
- 8:15Speaker 4: The arm, talent and the and the ability to push
- 8:17Speaker 4: the ball down the field. And he's got some skill
- 8:19Speaker 4: and ability around him. So again another player that's good player,
- 8:24Speaker 4: good quarterback leading that football team, and another one you
- 8:27Speaker 4: gotta be careful about.
- 8:28Speaker 5: And he had a tough time in that ball game
- 8:31Speaker 5: this past week against Cowboys. Two backup tackles and not
- 8:34Speaker 5: sure what's gonna be the available for the Browns this week.
- 8:38Speaker 5: But how important is it to get to him early
- 8:41Speaker 5: because it appeared to when the Cowboys got to him early.
- 8:43Speaker 5: You know, look, as a quarterback, sometimes when it starts
- 8:47Speaker 5: coming hot and early, you know your eyes maybe drop
- 8:49Speaker 5: a little bit to start taking a peek before you
- 8:51Speaker 5: get all the way back in your drop.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Yeah, they do.
- 8:53Speaker 4: And that's that's something that if you can any game
- 8:56Speaker 4: that you're in, if you can get to your quarterback
- 8:57Speaker 4: or their quarterback early and and and try to hit
- 8:59Speaker 4: him knock them around, even even if it's not a
- 9:02Speaker 4: sack and you're still around the quarterback. They feel that
- 9:05Speaker 4: as the game game goes on, eyes begin to drop,
- 9:07Speaker 4: that gets off their progressions a little bit faster, and
- 9:10Speaker 4: and it's just, you know, this is what we've got
- 9:12Speaker 4: to We've got to, you know, do with our front,
- 9:14Speaker 4: you know, this week.
- 9:15Speaker 5: And if if he's got time, I mean, you've got
- 9:17Speaker 5: two guys on the outside of Mark Cooper, Jerry Judy
- 9:20Speaker 5: pretty good players on your side of the ball. Tyson
- 9:23Speaker 5: Campbell had an injury this past game. What do you
- 9:26Speaker 5: do there to try to make up for his loss?
- 9:29Speaker 3: Well, you know, we've we've got some options there.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Obviously, Buster, I thought, has has played for us. He's
- 9:34Speaker 4: played well. He filled in last week, did a nice job.
- 9:37Speaker 3: You know.
- 9:37Speaker 4: We know Jarry and Jones can move out and play
- 9:39Speaker 4: some corner if need be. Trey Flowers is another one
- 9:42Speaker 4: that we could you know obviously can bring and and
- 9:44Speaker 4: have have a role there, you know, as a corner safety.
- 9:48Speaker 4: So there's there's some options and some opportunities and and uh,
- 9:52Speaker 4: you know, but again it's it's a it can be
- 9:54Speaker 4: an offense that can they can get hot I've seen
- 9:57Speaker 4: them do that, and you know, again, you just got
- 10:00Speaker 4: to be got to be disciplined on your in your rules.
- 10:03Speaker 6: All right, coach.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Final thought from me here, I mean, this is coming
- 10:06Speaker 2: back home, opening the bank for a Trevor Bank Stadium
- 10:09Speaker 2: that was announced today by the way, for the twenty
- 10:12Speaker 2: twenty fourth season. Strong performance coming off last week and
- 10:16Speaker 2: what gives you the confidence overall that this Jaguars team
- 10:19Speaker 2: can bring that complete performance against the Browns.
- 10:22Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing is the leadership of the
- 10:24Speaker 3: football team.
- 10:25Speaker 4: They're they're the ones that are going to have to
- 10:26Speaker 4: do it and and and they're going to have to, uh,
- 10:29Speaker 4: you know, bring it on on Sunday. And we're excited
- 10:31Speaker 4: to be at home in front of our fans and
- 10:34Speaker 4: have a good crowd there and and you know, but
- 10:36Speaker 4: it's the leadership.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Of the football team. Those are the guys that I lean.
- 10:39Speaker 4: On, and those are the ones that are going to
- 10:41Speaker 4: have to step up in this in this game and.
- 10:44Speaker 3: You know, lead us on to to potentially a victory.
- 10:46Speaker 5: It's always good to kind of get right at home,
- 10:49Speaker 5: indn't it when you got that crowd loud, you know
- 10:51Speaker 5: and fired up.
- 10:52Speaker 6: I mean, it's the Bank Rock.
- 10:53Speaker 3: It's nothing better.
- 10:54Speaker 4: And you know you got to take care of you know,
- 10:56Speaker 4: home field, so to speak. And and it starts, It
- 10:59Speaker 4: starts Sunday.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Doug, thanks for the time. As always, we'll see you
- 11:02Speaker 2: next week. Thank you, Head coach. Doug Peterson with us.

- 12:06Speaker 7: I could imagine you could probably.
- 12:08Speaker 6: You know, cheap as a matter of fact.
- 12:09Speaker 7: Yeah, I think like a six pack and you know,
- 12:13Speaker 7: maybe twenty bucks.
- 12:14Speaker 8: Probably get a down bag of doughnuts.
- 12:15Speaker 6: There you go.
- 12:16Speaker 7: We love snacks around here. Anyway, I'm excited to be here.
- 12:20Speaker 7: JP had to get out a little bit early, so
- 12:22Speaker 7: I'm gonna be on all the shows today pretty much.
- 12:24Speaker 6: So good for you. You you got to finish this
- 12:27Speaker 6: one out and then you got more and.
- 12:28Speaker 7: Then both of us are going to All Access tonight
- 12:30Speaker 7: and that's always.
- 12:31Speaker 8: A good time.
- 12:31Speaker 6: So big show tonight too. We got Christian Kirk, the
- 12:35Speaker 6: veteran seventh year wide receiver, had a tough day.
- 12:38Speaker 8: He did Sunday uncharacteristic, I would say.
- 12:40Speaker 5: And then the young first round pick, rookie Brian Thomas Junior,
- 12:46Speaker 5: who had a marvelous start to his NFL career.
- 12:49Speaker 7: He had a day for sure, a lot of Actually
- 12:52Speaker 7: I saw some promising things from a bunch of rookies.
- 12:54Speaker 7: We're going to talk about that a little bit later
- 12:55Speaker 7: on in the show, but Brian Thomas certainly was His
- 12:57Speaker 7: touchdown was probably my favorite moment of the whole day.
- 13:00Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be absolutely that one's second favorite, and
- 13:03Speaker 5: it's a really close second.
- 13:04Speaker 6: The trash talking with Jayleen.
- 13:06Speaker 8: Ramsay, that's true.
- 13:07Speaker 5: Yeah, that was that was really and I also not
- 13:11Speaker 5: just the trash talking, but it was the ability to
- 13:14Speaker 5: lead to the PI that led to the trash talking,
- 13:17Speaker 5: which was the flat out ability to run by somebody.
- 13:21Speaker 5: And I've been saying that all through training camp. He's
- 13:26Speaker 5: so fun to watch because he the catch that he
- 13:30Speaker 5: made that was so effortless, which I just mentioned to Doug,
- 13:34Speaker 5: but just the way that he runs looks effortless. And
- 13:38Speaker 5: he's sneaky fast because when he runs, he's kind of
- 13:42Speaker 5: a glider and he covers a lot of ground with
- 13:46Speaker 5: his gliding steps, and so he's faster than he actually looks.
- 13:50Speaker 8: It looks like he's going fast.
- 13:53Speaker 5: You don't like if it was Mighty Mouse, Mighty Mouse
- 13:55Speaker 5: would look fast because he's a short guy. Brian's kind
- 13:58Speaker 5: of long, so he has those longer strides. But yeah,
- 14:02Speaker 5: he's I can't wait to watch what he becomes. Because
- 14:06Speaker 5: I said after the draft and watching the film of
- 14:09Speaker 5: the wide receivers in the draft, and there was all
- 14:12Speaker 5: the other guys that were drafted of like what three
- 14:14Speaker 5: of them I think that were drafted ahead of Brian,
- 14:16Speaker 5: And I said, I don't know, And nobody really had
- 14:18Speaker 5: Brian in the conversation with the top it wasn't.
- 14:20Speaker 7: It was like those top three A Duneesa, Marvin Harrison Junior,
- 14:24Speaker 7: and his teammate Lak Neighbors, who's in New York. So
- 14:26Speaker 7: it was like those are the three, and then there
- 14:28Speaker 7: was kind of some debate about who the other wide
- 14:31Speaker 7: receiver that they kind of had them in a different class.
- 14:33Speaker 7: But I mean, at this pace, it looks like he
- 14:35Speaker 7: really should have been in the mix the whole time.
- 14:37Speaker 5: You look at his numbers from LSU touchdowns that he
- 14:41Speaker 5: had what was like seventeen his yards per catch, how
- 14:45Speaker 5: fast he is, his size, I just didn't understand why
- 14:50Speaker 5: he wasn't in the conversation with the top three.
- 14:53Speaker 7: I think some of what got taken away from him
- 14:55Speaker 7: is because of LSU and the way they do their offense.
- 14:57Speaker 7: Milik Neighbors and what he was able to do. Question
- 15:00Speaker 7: if he's just a deep guy. But if you're only
- 15:03Speaker 7: required to do that because you're playing with Moleague Neighbors,
- 15:06Speaker 7: that doesn't mean you get to show off all your
- 15:07Speaker 7: skill set because you have such a dynamic offense. So
- 15:09Speaker 7: I think we're seeing now from Brian is. Yes, he's
- 15:12Speaker 7: a deep threat, but he's so smart and he's been
- 15:14Speaker 7: picking it up so quickly. He can be used in
- 15:15Speaker 7: so many different ways. And that's what I'm most excited
- 15:17Speaker 7: about seeing.
- 15:18Speaker 6: And wide receiver sometimes it takes them a while to
- 15:20Speaker 6: figure it out.
- 15:21Speaker 8: And exactly have you seen that for certain?
- 15:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean justin Jefferson's aren't walking around every year.
- 15:27Speaker 5: I mean it's kind of a rarity to have a
- 15:28Speaker 5: guy like that or what's the guy's name in Cincinnati,
- 15:33Speaker 5: I'm drawing a blank. Chase, Jamar Chase, thank you, But yeah,
- 15:41Speaker 5: I mean that's a lot of times wide receiver it
- 15:42Speaker 5: takes him a year or two to kind of get
- 15:45Speaker 5: I guess up to speed. In the NFL, I mean
- 15:47Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison Senior, who is a Hall of Famer, perfect
- 15:51Speaker 5: example of that. It took him a long time to
- 15:53Speaker 5: kind of figure it out. And me and John Osher
- 15:55Speaker 5: had that conversation many times about how long it took
- 15:58Speaker 5: him to kind of figure it out.
- 16:00Speaker 8: Absolutely, that's what's so exciting to see in Game one already.
- 16:03Speaker 6: I love it.
- 16:04Speaker 5: I love it and here's the other part that I love.
- 16:07Speaker 5: Gabe Davis also has a deep aspect to his game,
- 16:11Speaker 5: and with Brian and Gabe together on the field with
- 16:15Speaker 5: Christian and Christian needs to get back to having a
- 16:17Speaker 5: good game. Okay, didn't have a very good game, but
- 16:20Speaker 5: you have two legitimate deep guys and then two really
- 16:24Speaker 5: good with that short intermediate stuff and Christian and Evan
- 16:27Speaker 5: and Evan didn't play great either, But if those two guys,
- 16:31Speaker 5: and I believe they will because they're dependable, and Evan
- 16:34Speaker 5: and Christian, if they get back to doing what they
- 16:36Speaker 5: can do and they have been doing with Gabe and
- 16:40Speaker 5: Brian on the outside, this offense I think can be
- 16:42Speaker 5: as prolific and as dynamic is as any in the league.
- 16:46Speaker 5: I think they can. I don't know if they would
- 16:49Speaker 5: get up there quite with the Dolphins, just because those
- 16:51Speaker 5: two guys have, i mean, super elite speed, but I
- 16:55Speaker 5: think they would come pretty close.
- 16:57Speaker 8: It's the options abound.
- 16:58Speaker 7: We love that.
- 16:59Speaker 8: Especially for Trevor.
- 16:59Speaker 7: It feels like he operates well when he can kind
- 17:01Speaker 7: of have all of the options at his disposal.
- 17:04Speaker 5: Well, and that's I think the same can be said
- 17:06Speaker 5: for Doug Peterson and his offense. I mean, you go
- 17:10Speaker 5: and you look at it. He's never really had to
- 17:13Speaker 5: have you know, that guy in the offense, and the
- 17:15Speaker 5: offense has always functioned better and has been kind of
- 17:19Speaker 5: at the top of the food chain when they have
- 17:21Speaker 5: involved all the weapons. And so you've got a lot
- 17:24Speaker 5: of weapons with this offense if you you lies them all,
- 17:27Speaker 5: and that's when a quarterback, any quarterback, is at his best.
- 17:30Speaker 6: And I think it's gonna be fun to watch. But
- 17:32Speaker 6: they got to be better than last week.
- 17:34Speaker 8: Yeah, last week not too great. Yeah, that was a
- 17:36Speaker 8: little tough.
- 17:37Speaker 6: All good, nough. They'll be fine. It's one week.
- 17:39Speaker 7: But I think it was exacerbated a little bit because
- 17:43Speaker 7: of how things ended last season. If you didn't end
- 17:46Speaker 7: in the way they ended last year, you know, maybe Okay,
- 17:49Speaker 7: they a lot of good things, just you know, that
- 17:52Speaker 7: fumble kind of got them off track at the end.
- 17:53Speaker 8: But when you couple it in with.
- 17:55Speaker 7: All of the issues that we've been talking about for
- 17:57Speaker 7: the past six months, it seems it's just like I thought.
- 18:00Speaker 8: We were passing.
- 18:01Speaker 5: I mean, you're right, And from a fan perspective, that's
- 18:03Speaker 5: fair because their memory of this football team, for the
- 18:07Speaker 5: most part is last year and losing five out of
- 18:10Speaker 5: the last six, and they weren't able to pull through
- 18:13Speaker 5: in the end. And kind of in Miami, it was
- 18:15Speaker 5: kind of a similar result, but just condensed into one game.
- 18:18Speaker 5: And I will say that it seemed that they lost
- 18:22Speaker 5: a lot of steam after that fumble, and adversity happens
- 18:26Speaker 5: in the NFL all the time. There's usually about two
- 18:28Speaker 5: to three big momentum changes in every game, and if
- 18:32Speaker 5: you can't handle one momentum change, you're not going to
- 18:35Speaker 5: be able to handle the games that have two or three.
- 18:37Speaker 6: You're not going to have any chance.
- 18:38Speaker 5: So you better learn a way to get tougher mentally
- 18:43Speaker 5: as a football team so that you can handle things
- 18:45Speaker 5: like that and bounce right back.
- 18:47Speaker 7: And I think they're going to have that opportunity this
- 18:49Speaker 7: weekend in the home opener.
- 18:50Speaker 8: Hopefully we will see that.
- 18:52Speaker 7: Coming up after the break, we're going to talk a
- 18:54Speaker 7: little bit about those rookies. We talked a little bit
- 18:55Speaker 7: about Brian Thomas. There was a couple other rookies that
- 18:57Speaker 7: jumped out to me, not playing like rookies right now. Now,
- 19:00Speaker 7: that's all coming up next on The Doug Peterson Show
- 19:02Speaker 7: on Jaguars Radio.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Welcome back the Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 19:20Speaker 9: It's a huge park for our team, a huge park.
- 19:23Speaker 9: And I told him, you know, I told him today,
- 19:25Speaker 9: Actually he may be a rookie, he might be quiet,
- 19:28Speaker 9: but that energy you had on Sunday, the confidence that
- 19:30Speaker 9: we saw come out of you, that's going to help
- 19:33Speaker 9: our team.
- 19:34Speaker 6: We see it and we feel it.
- 19:35Speaker 9: So whatever he's been doing, he needs to keep doing it,
- 19:39Speaker 9: and he has a bright future ahead. It's only his
- 19:41Speaker 9: first game. He's going to continue to learn. He's going
- 19:43Speaker 9: to continue to get better and get more accustomed to
- 19:46Speaker 9: the game and our offense. So uh man, I can't
- 19:49Speaker 9: wait to, you know, play alongside him for the rest
- 19:51Speaker 9: of the season. Just walk and grow.
- 19:53Speaker 7: It's Evan Ingram talking about Brian Thomas Jr. The Doug

- 20:08Speaker 7: Thomas Junior. Evan was excited to see Brian Thomas Junior
- 20:11Speaker 7: out there and what he was able to do, and gosh,
- 20:15Speaker 7: he's a rookie. He's a rookie, and I know we've
- 20:17Speaker 7: talked about this already, but just out of the gate
- 20:20Speaker 7: to have those kinds of expectations from it, you don't
- 20:22Speaker 7: have that very often, no.
- 20:24Speaker 6: And that's okay.
- 20:26Speaker 5: I thought his productivity in training camp was really good.
- 20:28Speaker 5: The best thing about him in training camp is that
- 20:30Speaker 5: I don't think he missed a practice.
- 20:32Speaker 8: He wasn't. He was always out there.
- 20:33Speaker 7: And also, like from our point of view, I would say,
- 20:36Speaker 7: if you saw him make a mistake, sure in training camp,
- 20:38Speaker 7: you saw that happen frequently.
- 20:40Speaker 8: They were on the same page.
- 20:41Speaker 7: Why not it wasn't the same mistake it was it
- 20:43Speaker 7: was Okay, I messed up this specific thing on this route.
- 20:47Speaker 7: I won't do that again, and learning from it, and
- 20:49Speaker 7: that's not how everybody learns.
- 20:51Speaker 8: And he's able to pick things up so quickly.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Well, And if I was a rookie coming into that
- 20:56Speaker 5: wide receiver room, first of all, very good coach with
- 20:58Speaker 5: Chad Hall and then Gabe Davis, Christian Kirk Parker Washington,
- 21:05Speaker 5: that's a really strong room with two guys at the
- 21:08Speaker 5: top and Gabe Davis and obviously Christian Kirk, that are
- 21:12Speaker 5: I mean you'd love to have that type of situation
- 21:15Speaker 5: in every room, every position group, to have a couple
- 21:18Speaker 5: of veteran guys to kind of show the way to
- 21:20Speaker 5: the young players, and it really helps the development of
- 21:24Speaker 5: young players. And because Christian Kirk is an incredibly hard worker,
- 21:28Speaker 5: I mean credibly hard worker, and you watch Gabe Davis
- 21:32Speaker 5: work hard worker productive, you know, they take their craft
- 21:35Speaker 5: very seriously. Now, if you had some clowns that were,
- 21:39Speaker 5: you know, running the room, it's kind of harder, I
- 21:41Speaker 5: think for a young rookie to really grasp the seriousness
- 21:45Speaker 5: of what professional football is. It's no longer college scholarship
- 21:49Speaker 5: with a little nil money. This is business, this is football.
- 21:54Speaker 5: And so a great situation for him to come into.
- 21:56Speaker 5: And then also, look the quarterback in the stst the
- 22:00Speaker 5: system itself was a good situation to walk into. You know,
- 22:03Speaker 5: you look at I always look at PFF grades and
- 22:05Speaker 5: I'm not a big believer and that it's the end all,
- 22:08Speaker 5: be all of everything. But if you look at the
- 22:10Speaker 5: highest graded player on the Jaguars offensively, he was the
- 22:13Speaker 5: highest graded player. The second highest was Trevor Lawrence, third
- 22:17Speaker 5: highest Gabe Davis.
- 22:18Speaker 8: And they looked like it at least in that game.
- 22:20Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's hard to argue.
- 22:22Speaker 5: I mean, you wouldn't argue with that statistical analysis of
- 22:26Speaker 5: the performance of the Jaguars offensively, and now this week
- 22:30Speaker 5: coming up. You want your offensive line to get better
- 22:32Speaker 5: grades and Etn to get better grades, and everybody else
- 22:36Speaker 5: to kind of stay the same, you know.
- 22:38Speaker 6: But Christian's got to get better.
- 22:39Speaker 8: Too, Yes, he does.
- 22:40Speaker 7: I feel like his track record just from what we've
- 22:43Speaker 7: seen him Christian, I know we haven't seen him play
- 22:44Speaker 7: in a while because of the injury.
- 22:46Speaker 8: I don't imagine we're gonna see two games in a row.
- 22:48Speaker 6: I don't. I don't worry. I don't worry about him.
- 22:50Speaker 6: I don't. I don't worry about Travis Etn with the fumble.
- 22:53Speaker 5: I mean, there's a there's always guys, some guys you
- 22:55Speaker 5: might worry about just because they don't have a track record.
- 22:59Speaker 5: They they don't they haven't proven it before that they
- 23:03Speaker 5: can bounce back. But these guys have proven that they
- 23:06Speaker 5: can bounce back and that they are dependable. They made
- 23:09Speaker 5: mistakes in the ball game, and I think they're going
- 23:12Speaker 5: to be better for it throughout the rest of the year.
- 23:14Speaker 7: Travis specifically, we saw he was in the locker room
- 23:17Speaker 7: open locker room yesterday. He seems to He was pretty honest.
- 23:20Speaker 7: He said it bugged him. It was bugging him, probably
- 23:22Speaker 7: an extra day. Then, you know, they try to move on,
- 23:24Speaker 7: get the new game plan going. But he's like, yeah,
- 23:26Speaker 7: Tuesday is still kind.
- 23:27Speaker 6: Of getting to with that. Haven't bother a guy for
- 23:30Speaker 6: And he said.
- 23:30Speaker 7: He's using it as motivation. Because if you're using it
- 23:33Speaker 7: and you're letting it defind you, that's different. But if
- 23:35Speaker 7: he's using it and he's pissed off about it and
- 23:37Speaker 7: he's trying to use it to get better, I'm all
- 23:38Speaker 7: for it.
- 23:39Speaker 5: I think I think that whole mindset is even good
- 23:42Speaker 5: for it as a team. Yes, you know, for the
- 23:44Speaker 5: loss in Miami. To carry that same mindset into this
- 23:48Speaker 5: game this week against Cleveland, angry at the way that
- 23:51Speaker 5: you didn't take care of business in Miami, that's a positive.
- 23:54Speaker 5: And I think Doug Peterson is angry too. I mean,
- 24:00Speaker 5: if you just kind of I mean, he was calm
- 24:02Speaker 5: and cool and collective here and everything, but I mean
- 24:05Speaker 5: I watched the press conference Monday. You watch the press
- 24:07Speaker 5: conference on Monday. That was not happy dog.
- 24:11Speaker 8: It was not happy dog.
- 24:12Speaker 6: No, that was not happy Duck. That was a very
- 24:15Speaker 6: mad Doug.
- 24:16Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 24:16Speaker 7: I mean, and you can't blame him because they lost
- 24:18Speaker 7: the game for themselves. In my opinion, a lot of
- 24:21Speaker 7: that was their own doing, and they let it slip
- 24:24Speaker 7: out of their fingers, right. And I think the reason
- 24:26Speaker 7: it's frustrating is also the reason I'm optimistic.
- 24:29Speaker 8: Because you're the one making those mistakes.
- 24:31Speaker 7: When you're going out there and the other team is
- 24:32Speaker 7: just better than you and is playing better than you,
- 24:35Speaker 7: and is out you know, physical in you, is outrunning you,
- 24:39Speaker 7: you can't do anything about it because you're doing your best.
- 24:41Speaker 7: I felt they could do better than that, and they
- 24:43Speaker 7: could have finished better than that, And so while I
- 24:46Speaker 7: am very frustrated that they did not do that in
- 24:48Speaker 7: week one, that is something they can control in week two.
- 24:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 24:51Speaker 5: And I know that we earlier talked about play calling
- 24:56Speaker 5: all so Happy Hour show. I gotta say this. I
- 24:59Speaker 5: really liked the focus of running the football and then
- 25:05Speaker 5: play action with this offense. I believe that that's got
- 25:09Speaker 5: to be something that this offense sticks with, because that's
- 25:14Speaker 5: if you really want to take advantage of Brian Thomas
- 25:18Speaker 5: junior speed and the craftiness of Gabe Davis getting deep
- 25:23Speaker 5: and to me that you're going to find that in
- 25:26Speaker 5: play action, and you've got to have that as a
- 25:30Speaker 5: mix in your offense. In the last couple of years,
- 25:33Speaker 5: it hasn't been a huge part of the offense. It's
- 25:36Speaker 5: been kind of a pass first offense. And I know
- 25:39Speaker 5: that in the offseason they took a really strong, long
- 25:42Speaker 5: look at what they did last year to improve things,
- 25:45Speaker 5: and I think this is what is essentially come of
- 25:48Speaker 5: that analysis. I like it, stick with it. It's going
- 25:53Speaker 5: to work. But you just got to execute the plays
- 25:56Speaker 5: that were there to be taken, because that's where they
- 25:59Speaker 5: think that they messed up in this past.
- 26:01Speaker 8: Game plan was good. Execution needs a little work.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Maybe the if you I mean, just you look at
- 26:07Speaker 5: a couple of plays and you go catch the ball, here,
- 26:09Speaker 5: catch the ball there, get a chip block on there. Okay,
- 26:13Speaker 5: another play, let's make sure that we blocked the right guy.
- 26:15Speaker 5: Another play, make sure we have a combo block to
- 26:19Speaker 5: the right guy, I mean, and then all of a sudden,
- 26:21Speaker 5: you're not twenty percent on third down, and then you've
- 26:24Speaker 5: got another how many plays they playing a game fifty
- 26:27Speaker 5: plays and then they had seventy one on defense, and
- 26:30Speaker 5: you got maybe instead of fifty plays, you got seventy plays.
- 26:33Speaker 6: If you just convert more than two of ten on third.
- 26:36Speaker 8: Down, yep, do it quickly.
- 26:38Speaker 7: Want to touch on some of the rookies we saw
- 26:40Speaker 7: out there, obviously Brian Thomas Junior, but how about Cam
- 26:42Speaker 7: Little coming in and booting a fifty three yarder I
- 26:44Speaker 7: was his first kick.
- 26:45Speaker 8: Really were going to do it too? I saw it
- 26:46Speaker 8: kind of going down. I was like, oh, they're going
- 26:48Speaker 8: to do this.
- 26:48Speaker 5: Let's not forget about the kickoff that he bounced it
- 26:51Speaker 5: into the end zone, which put the Biomy Dolphins to
- 26:54Speaker 5: start on the twenty I know, which was surprising because
- 26:58Speaker 5: I was expecting after the game that had played earlier
- 27:01Speaker 5: in the week on Thursday night and Friday night, that
- 27:03Speaker 5: the percentage of people just kicking into the end zone
- 27:06Speaker 5: was very high.
- 27:07Speaker 6: And Cam Little.
- 27:08Speaker 5: Saw a little opening right there past the pylon and
- 27:11Speaker 5: snuck it in and got it an end the long
- 27:13Speaker 5: field goal. I think he's got a tremendous leg. And
- 27:18Speaker 5: did you watch him in pregame warm up when he
- 27:20Speaker 5: was kicking sixty yarders and they were literally and I
- 27:24Speaker 5: think they had this on TV.
- 27:26Speaker 6: They recorded this. He's kicking field goals.
- 27:29Speaker 5: Literally at the midpoint, right right over top of the
- 27:32Speaker 5: logo at midfield. And so that's sixty yarder. Okay, that's
- 27:36Speaker 5: a sixty yard field goal. And when he was kicking
- 27:38Speaker 5: the sixty yard field goals and there was little to
- 27:40Speaker 5: no wind inside the stadium, these sixty yard field goals
- 27:44Speaker 5: are going halfway up the height of the pipes on
- 27:47Speaker 5: the goalpost.
- 27:48Speaker 6: Who does that?
- 27:50Speaker 7: Plenty of leg twenty one year old kicker out end
- 27:52Speaker 7: those absolutely. Wow, we're gonna get to a break real quick.
- 27:55Speaker 7: We're gonna flush this one. Finally, talk a little bit
- 27:57Speaker 7: about the Browns coming to town for this season opener
- 27:59Speaker 7: at home.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 28:12Speaker 10: Hard to just block him one on one, even with
- 28:15Speaker 10: offensive tackles. I mean, it's it's a challenge, particularly on
- 28:19Speaker 10: third down or second law when you're you know, when
- 28:21Speaker 10: they think you're going to pass, it's, uh, you know
- 28:25Speaker 10: you've got to you got to spend the resources to
- 28:29Speaker 10: slow him down.
- 28:30Speaker 3: Hey, you give him, give them a lot of respect.
- 28:32Speaker 10: And that's that's what teams do, right, I mean, that's
- 28:34Speaker 10: what team You see it on film all the time,
- 28:36Speaker 10: and and it's just it's the respect of who the
- 28:39Speaker 10: player is.
- 28:40Speaker 9: You know.
- 28:41Speaker 7: Doug Peterson talking about Miles Garrett and what he brings
- 28:44Speaker 7: to the game. We're back on the Doug Peterson Show,
- 28:46Speaker 7: presented by Fresh from Florida and also the University of Florida,
- 28:49Speaker 7: number one university in the US News and World Reports,
- 28:52Speaker 7: number one state for education. Jeff Loghman with me today.
- 28:56Speaker 7: Miles Garrett game wrecker. I think that's fair to say
- 28:59Speaker 7: he is.
- 29:00Speaker 5: A total game wrecker. And the Dallas Cowboys really, the
- 29:05Speaker 5: clevetand Browns, I thought did a pretty good job on
- 29:08Speaker 5: them defensive leaving those Cowboys scored quite a few points.
- 29:11Speaker 5: One of them came on a big punt return for
- 29:14Speaker 5: a touchdown. But Miles Garrett had a rookie left tackle
- 29:17Speaker 5: for the Dallas Cowboys. I can't remember the guy's name,
- 29:20Speaker 5: but they held the Dallas Cowboys two undred sixty five
- 29:24Speaker 5: yards total offense. And a lot of people look at
- 29:26Speaker 5: the score and go, oh wow, the Cowboys blow them out. Well,
- 29:29Speaker 5: I mean two hundred sixty five yards is not exactly
- 29:31Speaker 5: blowing them out. You know, we're talking about the Cleveton
- 29:35Speaker 5: Brown's being the number one defense in the league. Last
- 29:37Speaker 5: year as far as yards allowed. Garrett, Miles Garrett's is
- 29:41Speaker 5: one of the big reasons why and the Jaguars tackles
- 29:45Speaker 5: had better play well in this ball game, and they'd
- 29:47Speaker 5: better get them, and they better get them give them
- 29:51Speaker 5: some help.
- 29:51Speaker 8: I think that's clear.
- 29:52Speaker 7: I mean, obviously, probably the worst game we've seen from
- 29:54Speaker 7: Anton Harrison, because he played very well his rookie season,
- 29:57Speaker 7: just off the mark and in different parts. The line
- 30:00Speaker 7: struggled at different times in the game. But yeah, when
- 30:02Speaker 7: you have Miles Garrett across the way, you got to
- 30:04Speaker 7: help each other out and figure something out well.
- 30:06Speaker 5: And look, Zadarius Smith or on the other side, is
- 30:11Speaker 5: also a very good edge player. But it's going to
- 30:15Speaker 5: be interesting to see where Miles Garrett lines up because
- 30:19Speaker 5: he can play left and he can play right, and
- 30:21Speaker 5: I don't know if there's one side that he's better
- 30:23Speaker 5: than the other.
- 30:23Speaker 6: I think he's equally good on both sides.
- 30:27Speaker 5: That's a challenge for the Jaguars because it's a little
- 30:30Speaker 5: easier to game plan for great players that stay in
- 30:33Speaker 5: one position. It's harder to do that when they can
- 30:37Speaker 5: flip sides from play to play, because if they're staying
- 30:42Speaker 5: on one side, you can always design plays with that protection,
- 30:46Speaker 5: getting extra attention where he's at. Well, if you're expecting
- 30:50Speaker 5: him to be left and you come out of the
- 30:51Speaker 5: huddle and he's on your right and your extra help
- 30:54Speaker 5: was designed to be on the left, what do you.
- 30:57Speaker 8: Do and changed something up real quick.
- 31:00Speaker 6: Yeah, So I.
- 31:01Speaker 5: Think that there's going to be and this is an
- 31:03Speaker 5: important game. I think too for Mitch Morse because he
- 31:05Speaker 5: makes a lot of those calls up front. And the
- 31:09Speaker 5: one thing about this defense that I think people don't know,
- 31:11Speaker 5: just real quick, when Doug Peterson used those terms rush, crush,
- 31:15Speaker 5: and close. This defense is designed to not stop the run.
- 31:21Speaker 5: It's designed to stop the run on the way to
- 31:23Speaker 5: reckon the quarterback.
- 31:24Speaker 6: That's it. That's the rush part.
- 31:26Speaker 8: They get there before the run.
- 31:28Speaker 5: So the rush is we're going to go after the quarterback.
- 31:30Speaker 5: The crush part is if somebody gets in front of
- 31:32Speaker 5: us on the way to the quarterback, we're going to
- 31:33Speaker 5: crush it. And then close, we're going to find the
- 31:36Speaker 5: ball and close. So that's the whole terminology of a
- 31:39Speaker 5: Jim Schwartz defense and Doug Peterson knows it very well, Yes.
- 31:43Speaker 7: He does, as they work together in Philly. So We're
- 31:46Speaker 7: going to rush, crush and close this block. We'll be
- 31:49Speaker 7: back after this break talk a little bit more about
- 31:52Speaker 7: what the Browns might be doing on offense. Here on
- 31:54Speaker 7: The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 32:08Speaker 7: Kind of out Stevens here on The Doug Peterson Show,
- 32:10Speaker 7: presented by Fresh from Florida. Jeff Logerman is here and
- 32:13Speaker 7: for j P Shadrick had to jet off a little
- 32:15Speaker 7: bit early. But we're talking Browns and Jags in the
- 32:18Speaker 7: home opener. A tough season opener for the Jags, tough
- 32:22Speaker 7: season opener for the Browns as well. So what are
- 32:24Speaker 7: we going to see from these two teams? At least
- 32:26Speaker 7: on offense. Deshaun Watson is going to be out there.
- 32:29Speaker 7: But is he that Deshaun Watson Jags fans are used
- 32:31Speaker 7: to seeing, because when he was in a Texans uniform,
- 32:33Speaker 7: it was completely different.
- 32:35Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 32:36Speaker 5: I don't think he's anywhere close to that right now.
- 32:39Speaker 5: And part of the reason has been the lack of availability.
- 32:43Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean his suspension and whatnot.
- 32:46Speaker 7: Then he got hurt last year, so we didn't see
- 32:48Speaker 7: him a ton then, and then now it's just it's
- 32:51Speaker 7: a I'm cautiously saying that I don't think he's that
- 32:56Speaker 7: same thing, But you also don't want to underestimate the
- 32:59Speaker 7: ability because if he he gets in his own head
- 33:01Speaker 7: that he's the oldest Shaun Watson, it could be a
- 33:03Speaker 7: long day.
- 33:03Speaker 5: Well, we haven't seen any of that, and so do
- 33:07Speaker 5: I expect that.
- 33:08Speaker 6: No.
- 33:09Speaker 5: I mean he's dealing with a lot, but he hasn't played.
- 33:12Speaker 5: And when I say you haven't played a lot of football,
- 33:14Speaker 5: I mean you go back to when he was in.
- 33:18Speaker 6: With the Texans.
- 33:19Speaker 5: I think it was twenty one, twenty one, he was
- 33:21Speaker 5: on the Commissioner's list, didn't play twenty two, was traded
- 33:26Speaker 5: to the Browns, and then served in eleven games suspension
- 33:29Speaker 5: last year, came back. I think he played like six
- 33:32Speaker 5: games last year. So he's only played thirteen games since
- 33:36Speaker 5: he's been with the Cleveland Browns, and he's already earned
- 33:40Speaker 5: I mean, what two hundred and forty million. He was
- 33:41Speaker 5: getting forty million a year guaranteed, and he's been there
- 33:44Speaker 5: a couple of years. I think the whole Cleveland fan
- 33:48Speaker 5: base is kind.
- 33:49Speaker 6: Of over it.
- 33:51Speaker 7: I can imagine, especially after what they saw last week.
- 33:53Speaker 7: They have retooled this offense a little bit to be
- 33:55Speaker 7: catered to him specifically. So if they can get what
- 33:59Speaker 7: they're trying to do going, it will be interesting. Obviously,
- 34:01Speaker 7: one of their main targets, the guy that burned us
- 34:03Speaker 7: last year, David Joku, their tight end not going to
- 34:06Speaker 7: be playing.
- 34:06Speaker 6: It looks high.
- 34:07Speaker 8: That certainly helps the Jags out.
- 34:09Speaker 7: But and the good thing about DeShawn is, even when
- 34:12Speaker 7: he was good, he always runs into sacks and he
- 34:14Speaker 7: got sacked six times last.
- 34:16Speaker 6: Year when he was good. I mean we're going back.
- 34:18Speaker 6: I mean we're going back four years, right.
- 34:20Speaker 7: I was saying, even when he was good, this was
- 34:21Speaker 7: a problem, and it clearly is still an issue.
- 34:23Speaker 6: Well, I had the Cowboys the latest allegation too. I mean,
- 34:27Speaker 6: that's that doesn't sound good.
- 34:29Speaker 8: It doesn't sound good.
- 34:30Speaker 7: His father and best friend are a good friend from
- 34:33Speaker 7: Clemson passed away last week as well. There's a lot
- 34:35Speaker 7: off the field going on with him. So on the field,
- 34:38Speaker 7: not sure what we're going to get. The Jags have
- 34:39Speaker 7: to control what they can control in that.
- 34:41Speaker 5: Well, I hope, I hope that the Jaguars get off
- 34:44Speaker 5: to a fast start. So because you know, in the
- 34:46Speaker 5: Dallas game he had protection issues and his eyes were dropping.
- 34:50Speaker 5: And so you got two talented receivers that he's not
- 34:52Speaker 5: even seeing because his eyes are worried about where the
- 34:55Speaker 5: rush is coming from. If the Jaguars start fast early,
- 34:58Speaker 5: they can get him into that mode where he's looking
- 35:00Speaker 5: where the rush is coming from. So Josh and Trayvon,
- 35:03Speaker 5: I think need to start fast.
- 35:05Speaker 8: Absolutely.

- 35:18Speaker 7: All right, we're going to look ahead a little bit
- 35:20Speaker 7: at what the schedule is going to be, Like why
- 35:22Speaker 7: I think this is a must win game against the Browns.
- 35:25Speaker 7: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 35:44Speaker 10: Well, we just again we have the mistakes that we made,
- 35:47Speaker 10: the subtle things, the communication issues offensively, even some of
- 35:52Speaker 10: the communication things defensively.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Have we corrected those right?
- 35:57Speaker 10: And we won't know again until we get out on
- 35:59Speaker 10: the practice field.
- 36:00Speaker 3: So those are the things that and then.
- 36:02Speaker 10: Ball security you know, we got to create takeaways and
- 36:04Speaker 10: we got to take care of the football, and you know,
- 36:06Speaker 10: I think if we do that, you know, it definitely
- 36:10Speaker 10: helps your canton.
- 36:12Speaker 7: Doug Peterson says, pretty simple, got to clean things up
- 36:15Speaker 7: a little bit in week two.
- 36:16Speaker 8: That should do it.
- 36:17Speaker 7: Doug Peterson Show here presented by Fresh from Florida. I'm
- 36:20Speaker 7: Kindannie Stevens and with Jeff Logoman and talked a lot
- 36:24Speaker 7: about the last game. I want to talk now focus
- 36:26Speaker 7: on this home opener. I'm going to call it a
- 36:28Speaker 7: must win. Maybe that's overrated. Maybe in the NFL every
- 36:31Speaker 7: week is a must win, but they have to win
- 36:33Speaker 7: this week.
- 36:34Speaker 5: Well, and I think a little bit for both teams.
- 36:36Speaker 5: And the reason I say that is, you know, look,
- 36:39Speaker 5: the expectations for this Jaguars football team was very high
- 36:42Speaker 5: to start the year. I mean, Sean conn said, you know,
- 36:44Speaker 5: he thinks it was one of the or is one
- 36:46Speaker 5: of the best teams that's assembled, and he expects to
- 36:48Speaker 5: win now. And when you have that expectation to start
- 36:54Speaker 5: zero and two with the schedule that you have in
- 36:57Speaker 5: the near future, that's a tough way to start. And
- 37:00Speaker 5: if you look at the statistical analysis of the team,
- 37:03Speaker 5: starting zero to two, it doesn't bode well.
- 37:06Speaker 8: Less than ten percent make the playoffs.
- 37:07Speaker 5: So yes, And on top of that, you have a
- 37:10Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns football team that is desperate to get their
- 37:14Speaker 5: mind off of the whole Deshaun Watson thing. And the
- 37:18Speaker 5: more they lose, the more the attention just goes onto
- 37:21Speaker 5: the Deshaun Watson situation. So you're talking about two teams
- 37:25Speaker 5: that really need a win bad.
- 37:27Speaker 8: Yes, they do.
- 37:28Speaker 7: We talked a little bit about that schedule because of
- 37:30Speaker 7: what you got coming up Monday night football at the
- 37:32Speaker 7: Bills on the road at Texans home against the Colts.
- 37:37Speaker 7: Two division games those are never easy. Then you're on
- 37:39Speaker 7: the road in London.
- 37:40Speaker 6: So twice twice, Yeah, twice.
- 37:44Speaker 7: A win here would go a long way, yeah to
- 37:47Speaker 7: changing the thought process.
- 37:49Speaker 8: So don't want to hammer that too hard.
- 37:51Speaker 7: We did talk about what we think we'll see from
- 37:54Speaker 7: Deshaun Watson, but I do want to put the onus
- 37:56Speaker 7: on Let's two sacks from Trayvon, a sack from Eric Armstead,
- 38:01Speaker 7: Josh Heines Allen hasn't got one yet, but he was
- 38:03Speaker 7: around them putting pressure early.
- 38:06Speaker 8: Has to be huge for this team, all right.
- 38:08Speaker 5: I totally believe that and I liked the start for
- 38:12Speaker 5: Eric Armstead. I don't think he's anywhere close to being
- 38:14Speaker 5: a finished product, but I like the snaps that he had.
- 38:17Speaker 5: I think they were targeting anywhere between twenty five and
- 38:20Speaker 5: thirty ended up with thirty one snaps in that ball game,
- 38:23Speaker 5: and it was good. I mean, he wasn't great, but
- 38:25Speaker 5: was good. Can be better. I want to see him
- 38:28Speaker 5: finish more, but that's for a guy that's only practice
- 38:32Speaker 5: for probably what maybe two padded practices to play in
- 38:36Speaker 5: a game and get a sack.
- 38:37Speaker 6: I mean, good for him.
- 38:39Speaker 5: Trayvon, I think can be more consistent. And Josh I
- 38:42Speaker 5: don't think had you know, a Josh heinz Allen game.
- 38:46Speaker 5: So I think those two guys are going to be
- 38:48Speaker 5: hungry to be able to get out on the field
- 38:49Speaker 5: and to get after Deshaun Watson in this ball game.
- 38:51Speaker 5: But it's imperative that those three guys start fast and
- 38:56Speaker 5: getting after Deshaun Watson. The one thing that they don't
- 38:59Speaker 5: have have to kind of lean on in Cleveland right
- 39:02Speaker 5: now is a strong running game. With the two tackles
- 39:05Speaker 5: being out, they still have two Pro Bowl guards, by
- 39:07Speaker 5: the way, that are pretty good.
- 39:09Speaker 7: What did you think I didn't ask what did you
- 39:11Speaker 7: think of Ryan Nielsen's first game as defense coordinator. Do
- 39:13Speaker 7: you like what they're kind of doing out there? They're
- 39:15Speaker 7: changing everybody out I liked the couple plays, I like.
- 39:18Speaker 5: The aggressiveness, but it was just an okay start. When
- 39:21Speaker 5: you when you end up giving up the amount of
- 39:24Speaker 5: yards that they did on the big plays, I mean
- 39:26Speaker 5: the whole reason that you play defense. You know, when
- 39:28Speaker 5: you talk about goals, I mean seventeen points or less. Well,
- 39:30Speaker 5: they gave up what.
- 39:31Speaker 6: Was it, twenty?
- 39:32Speaker 5: Okay, that's a good job against an explosive offense like
- 39:36Speaker 5: the Miami Dolphins. Okay, But then the other part is
- 39:38Speaker 5: limit explosives. Well, you didn't do a great job.
- 39:41Speaker 8: On that couple of those.
- 39:42Speaker 5: You did a great job in stopping the run, but
- 39:45Speaker 5: you got to limit the explosive plays. And at the
- 39:47Speaker 5: end of the day, it's about points. Did you end
- 39:50Speaker 5: up giving up less than you scored on offense? And
- 39:52Speaker 5: in that game you didn't get that accomplished. But good start,
- 39:56Speaker 5: not a great start.
- 39:57Speaker 8: What did you see from some of the younger guys.
- 39:59Speaker 8: We talked a little bit.
- 40:00Speaker 7: Drian Jones was out there on on in the second day.
- 40:04Speaker 6: Coverage on Tyree my first game, I'd be like, we welcome.
- 40:08Speaker 8: To the NFL.
- 40:09Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't imagine the anxiety of lining up on
- 40:16Speaker 5: that playan ohing that, Oh.
- 40:18Speaker 6: My god, I've got to cover the cheetah.
- 40:20Speaker 5: He's the he's the number one player in the National
- 40:23Speaker 5: Football League, is voted by the players, and I got
- 40:26Speaker 5: to cover a man.
- 40:27Speaker 6: Oh my god.
- 40:27Speaker 5: So Jarian was talking about that moment the first time
- 40:30Speaker 5: in a Jaguars uniform and he was crying in the
- 40:33Speaker 5: in the bathroom. I can't imagine that game for your
- 40:37Speaker 5: kind of cover the cheetah.
- 40:38Speaker 8: That assignment might make you cry a little bit.
- 40:40Speaker 6: Oh ah.
- 40:41Speaker 5: But he did well. I thought he was. He had
- 40:43Speaker 5: a good start. Just one other guy'd point out real quick,
- 40:46Speaker 5: Devin Lloyd. I think he played really well and Foyer
- 40:49Speaker 5: played really well at both of them new positions. So
- 40:53Speaker 5: kudos to them for a good start.
- 40:55Speaker 8: In Ryan's defense being versatile.
- 40:57Speaker 7: Love that, yeah, first time from the linebackers because they're everywhere, Yeah,
- 41:01Speaker 7: and every rushing We love that. Sunday's game is gonna
- 41:03Speaker 7: be brought to you by Trevor Bank.

- 41:20Speaker 7: Show on Jaguars Radio.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 41:35Speaker 7: It's get ready to finish things up here on the
- 41:38Speaker 7: Doug Peterson Show. Pringun in by Fresh from Florida, Kay
- 41:41Speaker 7: Nannie Stevens, who were Jeff Logman.
- 41:42Speaker 8: Jeff.
- 41:42Speaker 7: We were just talking about Drian Jones having that moment
- 41:45Speaker 7: where your first game you're covering Tyreek Hill, Who's a
- 41:47Speaker 7: player that you went against.
- 41:49Speaker 8: Early in your career that you're like, oh no, this
- 41:50Speaker 8: big leagues now?
- 41:52Speaker 5: My uh, it was my I gotta go to my
- 41:54Speaker 5: second year, okay, because my first year I was an
- 41:57Speaker 5: outside linebacker and then in year two they me to
- 42:00Speaker 5: defensive end, where I stayed at for all ten years.
- 42:03Speaker 8: Yep.
- 42:04Speaker 5: So the first start that I ever made at defensive
- 42:06Speaker 5: end was at Cincinnati against Anthony Munos, the great.
- 42:12Speaker 6: Hall of Famer.
- 42:12Speaker 8: You buy him at all long day.
- 42:17Speaker 5: I did well on a couple of plays and then
- 42:20Speaker 5: the the savvy of the old veteran got me. In fact,
- 42:25Speaker 5: he hyper extended my elbow one time when I got
- 42:28Speaker 5: past him because he leg whipped me with the back
- 42:32Speaker 5: leg when I when I made a miss. But yeah,
- 42:35Speaker 5: he taught me a lot. Anthony was a really good player.
- 42:38Speaker 5: But yeah, that was one of those moments.
- 42:39Speaker 8: Have you questioning that position change at that point?
- 42:41Speaker 5: No, no, no, I felt like I belonged to, you know,
- 42:45Speaker 5: after playing the first year because I went against some
- 42:47Speaker 5: other guys. But there was another time played against Chris
- 42:50Speaker 5: Hinton of the Indianapolis Colts at that time, and I
- 42:53Speaker 5: was an outside linebacker and he wore me out my
- 42:56Speaker 5: rookie year. It was one of those games you're like, I,
- 43:00Speaker 5: I got to do better than this, that's for sure.
- 43:01Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean you always have those moments.
- 43:03Speaker 5: One of the coolest moments I ever had, real quick
- 43:06Speaker 5: walking out of the tunnel in the preseason game and
- 43:08Speaker 5: when I first saw my contract and there's Lawrence Taylor leaning.
- 43:10Speaker 6: Against the tunnel wall.
- 43:12Speaker 8: That's cool.
- 43:13Speaker 6: I mean, that's and I was like, oh my god,
- 43:14Speaker 6: that's Lawrence Taylor. And I'm walking out on the same
- 43:18Speaker 6: field as him.
- 43:19Speaker 8: Yep, that was crazy, especially you don't have to go
- 43:21Speaker 8: against him defense.
- 43:22Speaker 6: And I got to meet him later on. He was
- 43:23Speaker 6: a mess.
- 43:24Speaker 8: Oh yeah, that's that's a whole other thing.
- 43:26Speaker 7: All right, let's get back to this game home opener
- 43:28Speaker 7: this week. What are you thinking, who's a player to
- 43:31Speaker 7: watch for you?
- 43:32Speaker 5: Well, if it's Trevor Bank, it's got to be Trevor
- 43:35Speaker 5: first and foremost. You know, last year at Cleveland, he
- 43:37Speaker 5: had three interceptions and the Jaguars ended up I think
- 43:41Speaker 5: having four turnovers in that game. They lost the turnover battle.
- 43:45Speaker 5: I really believe that turnover obviously impact every game, But
- 43:49Speaker 5: in a game like this where Cleveland is struggling offensively,
- 43:52Speaker 5: you can't give them any extra opportunities. You got to
- 43:55Speaker 5: protect the football in this game and defensively, get after
- 43:59Speaker 5: him early, take the doubt and put it right back
- 44:02Speaker 5: in their mind that they had from.
- 44:04Speaker 6: The Dallas game.
- 44:05Speaker 7: You gotta go with the trenches for me as well,
- 44:07Speaker 7: I'm gonna go offensive line because you got to protect
- 44:09Speaker 7: clean things up. I think Anton is better than what
- 44:11Speaker 7: he played in.
- 44:12Speaker 8: That first game. We saw it during his rookie year.
- 44:14Speaker 8: He can do better than that.
- 44:15Speaker 7: He'll get some help this week, definitely against Miles Garrett
- 44:18Speaker 7: and that will help him out for sure. And like
- 44:20Speaker 7: I said, that start we saw in Miami, let's do
- 44:22Speaker 7: it again at home and finish things out this time, Josse.
- 44:24Speaker 6: And handle adversity.
- 44:25Speaker 7: Absolutely because it will come in some form. We don't
- 44:28Speaker 7: know exactly what it's going to be, but we do
- 44:30Speaker 7: know it's going to show up at some point.
- 44:32Speaker 8: Thanks for let me come on the show, had a
- 44:34Speaker 8: great time.
- 44:34Speaker 6: Thank you for sitting in and now looking forward to
- 44:36Speaker 6: TV to know.
- 44:36Speaker 7: Absolutely come to All Access at STRINGS tonight if you're available.
- 44:39Speaker 8: That'll be a good one.
- 44:40Speaker 7: Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas Junior going to be with us.
