Slowing down Bills Defense, Coach Pederson on Week 3 | The Doug Pederson Show · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

0:00
Speaker 1: Starts right now and welcome in the Doug Peterson Show,
0:03
Speaker 1: presented by Fresh from Florida from the Hunday studios of
0:06
Speaker 1: the Miller Electric Center, and we're on the Jaguars Radio
0:09
Speaker 1: Network presented by the University of Florida. JP Shadwick with
0:12
Speaker 1: Jeff Logman and head coach Doug Peterson in studio with us.
0:17
Speaker 2: All Right, another week, Monday Night football coming off and
0:21
Speaker 2: oh and two start.
0:22
Speaker 1: I think the reactions after the game and early this
0:24
Speaker 1: week I think said a lot about the approach going
0:27
Speaker 1: into this week. So what did you see out of
0:30
Speaker 1: the players and coaches so far early in the week,
0:33
Speaker 1: in the review and now that the prep has started
0:35
Speaker 1: for Monday Night.
0:36
Speaker 3: Well, I think the number one thing is that we're
0:38
Speaker 3: how disappointed we are. We're very close to being two
0:41
Speaker 3: and oh quite frankly, and it's sort of, you know,
0:44
Speaker 3: it's self inflicted wounds, as they say, it's just mental
0:48
Speaker 3: mistakes that we're making as coaches and players that we
0:51
Speaker 3: need to clean up and and you know, and we will.
0:54
Speaker 3: And I think that's the approach that these players these
0:56
Speaker 3: coaches have taken this week in preparing for Buffalo.
1:00
Speaker 4: I had a coach in college name was Phil Almachen
1:02
Speaker 4: and he used to tell me, he said, you never
1:04
Speaker 4: have a problem that winning doesn't solve. And I remember
1:08
Speaker 4: him saying that, and it was amazing how that is.
1:10
Speaker 4: I mean, if you guys get one win, you I
1:13
Speaker 4: think you can move forward and feel good about what
1:15
Speaker 4: you're doing.
1:16
Speaker 3: That's the thing about it is, you just have to
1:18
Speaker 3: get that one win. It's just like turnovers. If you
1:20
Speaker 3: get the one one takeaway, then they start coming in
1:23
Speaker 3: in droves and and you know, so for us, it's
1:26
Speaker 3: just we just got to just clean up a few things.
1:29
Speaker 3: You know, red zone obviously has been you know, a
1:32
Speaker 3: sort of a sore spot offensively, and then and then defense,
1:35
Speaker 3: we've been really we've been playing really good defense. We
1:37
Speaker 3: just now we got to create some takeaways. We've been
1:39
Speaker 3: we've been close and and uh and yet we just
1:41
Speaker 3: haven't been able to uh, you know, seem to get
1:44
Speaker 3: that ball. But you know, another opportunity this week, and
1:46
Speaker 3: it's a good football team that's two and.
1:47
Speaker 2: Oh on the road Monday night.
1:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, one or two defenses in the league without a
1:51
Speaker 1: takeaway yet the Browns the other one and facing this
1:53
Speaker 1: Bills team obviously with Josh Allen. They've got a running
1:56
Speaker 1: game going a little different on the outside of the
1:58
Speaker 1: receivers one of those guys here now this year and
2:00
Speaker 1: gave Davis, but first look at the Buffalo Bills.
2:04
Speaker 2: Obviously you start with the quarterback.
2:06
Speaker 3: Right, you have to start with him. I think it
2:08
Speaker 3: all rotates around him. And and he's a big, strong,
2:11
Speaker 3: physical guy, can throw the deep ball. But it's interesting
2:15
Speaker 3: we say all that to say that, and you're right.
2:16
Speaker 3: The personnel's changed on the perimeter, so now he's using
2:19
Speaker 3: tight ends in the running back and the ball's coming
2:22
Speaker 3: out a little bit faster. I think he's around seventy
2:24
Speaker 3: four percent almost completion percentage. And and you know he's
2:28
Speaker 3: got two really good, really really good tight tight ends
2:31
Speaker 3: and Knox and Kincaid, so and then hand it to
2:34
Speaker 3: James Cook. I mean, these guys can these guys can roll.
2:38
Speaker 3: They're playing good offense, and you know, defensively, they're they're
2:41
Speaker 3: creating takeaways, which they did in that Miami game and
2:44
Speaker 3: obviously turn turned that into points.
2:46
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people expected the Bills to
2:48
Speaker 4: really become kind of Josh Allen centric after all of
2:51
Speaker 4: the losses in the offseason, but Joe Brady, their offensive coordinator.
2:54
Speaker 4: You talk about them relying on the running back, I mean,
2:57
Speaker 4: they're doing a really good job of kind of distributing
3:00
Speaker 4: the ball and not putting it all on the quarterback shoulder.
3:03
Speaker 3: You know, And that's that's that's recipe for success. You know,
3:07
Speaker 3: It's just it can't be about one guy. And you've
3:10
Speaker 3: got to use all your weapons. That's why you have
3:11
Speaker 3: eleven guys on the field. And and you know that's
3:14
Speaker 3: what you see out of them right now. And and
3:17
Speaker 3: you know they're taking care of the football obviously, and
3:19
Speaker 3: that that helps. And and you know they're doing everything right,
3:22
Speaker 3: you know, at the at the right times.
3:24
Speaker 4: And they're taking care of the ball like you said,
3:25
Speaker 4: but then also they're taking the ball away like you
3:28
Speaker 4: guys haven't taken the ball away. They've taken away four times.
3:31
Speaker 4: Twenty four points off of those takeaways for the Buffalo Bills.
3:34
Speaker 4: That's the difference between winning and losing.
3:38
Speaker 3: And that's you know, those twenty four points. That's that's
3:40
Speaker 3: a ballgame, you know. So that's something that that we
3:43
Speaker 3: keep focusing on and we keep talking to our defensive
3:45
Speaker 3: guys about and and you know, obviously we have to
3:49
Speaker 3: do a better job. You know, we are special teams unit,
3:52
Speaker 3: our kickoff return unit. Two weeks in a row we've
3:53
Speaker 3: put the ball on the ground twice, so, uh something
3:56
Speaker 3: we've got to be very conscious.
3:57
Speaker 2: Of Jack's head coach Doug Peterson with us flipping it around.
4:00
Speaker 4: Now.
4:01
Speaker 1: Last year in this game at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium, the
4:05
Speaker 1: Jags ran the ball. You guys ran the ball very well, obviously,
4:08
Speaker 1: but there was some in the pass rush game. I
4:10
Speaker 1: think they got five sacks on Trevor that day. Epanessa
4:12
Speaker 1: had a couple of those, Leonard Floyd had two. He's gone,
4:14
Speaker 1: he's in San Francisco now. But this seems on that
4:18
Speaker 1: side of the ball to be quite a matchup this week.
4:20
Speaker 1: The pass rushing opportunity for Buffalo and how do you
4:24
Speaker 1: guys block that up this week?
4:26
Speaker 2: Von Miller's back.
4:27
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Von Miller's You know, he was coming back
4:29
Speaker 3: from injury last year when we played him, and he
4:31
Speaker 3: wasn't probably one hundred percent. Now he's one hundred percent,
4:34
Speaker 3: and he's he's Von Miller of old. And you know, look,
4:36
Speaker 3: he's not an every down guy. He comes in in
4:39
Speaker 3: pass rush situation, second long third downs when he when
4:42
Speaker 3: he can get after the passer and and he's still
4:44
Speaker 3: von Miller, so you gotta know, you gotta know where
4:47
Speaker 3: he where he is. This defense it's all built around
4:51
Speaker 3: that front. And I think the back end guys are
4:54
Speaker 3: all new from from a year ago than than what
4:56
Speaker 3: we faced and and so you know, they play everything
5:00
Speaker 3: of out of Nickel defense.
5:01
Speaker 5: Uh.
5:01
Speaker 3: They do a great job with in the run game,
5:03
Speaker 3: do a nice job of timely pressures, They mixed coverage
5:06
Speaker 3: and they they've been together now what eight years I think,
5:09
Speaker 3: under under coach McDermott and coach Babbott. So you know
5:12
Speaker 3: it's a group that, uh has great communication. But but
5:16
Speaker 3: it does start with the guys up front.
5:18
Speaker 4: I think everybody makes a lot out of von Miller,
5:20
Speaker 4: but watching the film, at Oliver and Greg Russo are
5:24
Speaker 4: the guys that really stand out up front. Uh for me,
5:27
Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of how it is. But those
5:29
Speaker 4: two guys, you gotta block them, you.
5:30
Speaker 3: Do, and and they're like you said, they're they're every
5:33
Speaker 3: down guys. They're there. They don't come off the field
5:35
Speaker 3: much and and you have to you have to put
5:38
Speaker 3: four hands on Ed. He's he's quick, he's he's he's physical,
5:42
Speaker 3: he's aggressive and and I think both edge rushers are
5:46
Speaker 3: are are pretty good, you know, in Russo and and Eponenza.
5:49
Speaker 3: So these guys, like I said, it starts with this
5:53
Speaker 3: front and we've got to be able to control you know,
5:56
Speaker 3: those four guys and then have some you know, some
5:58
Speaker 3: success in the run game.
5:59
Speaker 4: As good as they are and rushing the passer to
6:01
Speaker 4: one thing that also I think shows that they're not
6:04
Speaker 4: real big and they've had issues at metal linebackers. That
6:08
Speaker 4: something that maybe you can take advantage of as an offense, you.
6:13
Speaker 3: Know, to try. You know, you're gonna try to do
6:14
Speaker 3: what you can. Obviously, you know, if you can get
6:16
Speaker 3: the run game going, it does open up some things,
6:18
Speaker 3: which it did in that game last year, some play
6:20
Speaker 3: action stuff and we're able to hit you know, Christian
6:22
Speaker 3: for some deep crossers. You know, of course, Calvin had
6:24
Speaker 3: a big game in that that one last year, and
6:27
Speaker 3: so you got to get and establish your run game
6:29
Speaker 3: and play play a little bit of ball control. But
6:32
Speaker 3: at the same time, you know, we've got to be
6:34
Speaker 3: able to take opportunities down the field in our passing game.
6:36
Speaker 3: Shoot the ball down the field, take some shots and
6:39
Speaker 3: and you know, be able to protect the quarterback.
6:42
Speaker 4: Doug, you talked earlier today in your press conference about
6:45
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence.
6:46
Speaker 2: And where he is right now.
6:48
Speaker 1: You talked a lot about the offense as a whole
6:51
Speaker 1: has some things going on around him, and everybody else
6:54
Speaker 1: needs to elevate their play. But as a franchise quarterback,
6:57
Speaker 1: where is he? How can he elevate a team that
7:01
Speaker 1: might be having some struggles around him? Because those guys,
7:04
Speaker 1: it's what they're paid for, right to elevate their offense.
7:07
Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing is he now has to
7:09
Speaker 3: communicate that to the rest of the guys on the field.
7:11
Speaker 3: He has to elevate their play. And you know, if
7:15
Speaker 3: we're going to put things and load load, Trevor's played
7:17
Speaker 3: up and he needs to load everybody else's plate. And
7:20
Speaker 3: you know that's that's him being Trevor, that's him being
7:23
Speaker 3: the leader. That's him being the quarterback and the franchise
7:25
Speaker 3: of this team. And and you know, the just having
7:31
Speaker 3: I think having that leadership ability and demanding more from
7:34
Speaker 3: his guys. You know, as coaches, we demand, right, you know,
7:38
Speaker 3: to do this X y Z. But when it comes
7:40
Speaker 3: from your starting quarterback, you know the face of your franchise.
7:45
Speaker 3: I think it means more coming from your peers.
7:47
Speaker 4: And with all this talk about trying to get better,
7:49
Speaker 4: do you consider changing anything about your lineup?
7:53
Speaker 3: You know, when you if you just sit and watch us,
7:57
Speaker 3: you don't need to. It's all about just take care
8:00
Speaker 3: of your job and just doing your job. If you
8:02
Speaker 3: need to strain a little bit more on a particular play,
8:04
Speaker 3: strain a little bit more if you need to work
8:06
Speaker 3: that combo block or some of it. Last week was
8:09
Speaker 3: just communication. How many times did we let a d
8:11
Speaker 3: ND or a three technique loose on a three step drop?
8:14
Speaker 3: That can't happen, you know, And that's just communication upfront,
8:16
Speaker 3: It's communication with your quarterback. And those are not lineup changes.
8:20
Speaker 3: Those aren't you know, those aren't. That's just communication errors
8:23
Speaker 3: and those are things that can't happen and won't happen.
8:27
Speaker 3: You know. As we continue to play.
8:29
Speaker 4: You've got a couple games under your belt of live
8:32
Speaker 4: action with some of the young guys, Brian Thomas Junior
8:34
Speaker 4: for one of them. And I think when you start
8:36
Speaker 4: the season you got to develop a level of trust
8:38
Speaker 4: for a guy. I think you always have to have
8:40
Speaker 4: that with a younger guy. Now that you've had him
8:42
Speaker 4: for a couple of games and you've seen the impact
8:44
Speaker 4: that he could make. Does that kind of change the
8:47
Speaker 4: dynamic a little bit of your offense going forward, because Okay,
8:51
Speaker 4: now we see that this guy can flat out fly
8:53
Speaker 4: and run by people and make plays in the game.
8:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it does. It does. And you know,
8:58
Speaker 3: we still when we put game plans together, we want
9:01
Speaker 3: to find ways to get all our you know, skill
9:04
Speaker 3: guys the ball, right Christian, Gabe Evan when he's healthy,
9:08
Speaker 3: obviously TJ and now Brian, and you find ways of
9:12
Speaker 3: getting him the ball down the field because that's obviously
9:15
Speaker 3: you know, two weeks in a row. Now he's gotten
9:17
Speaker 3: in behind the defense and he's made some plays, so
9:20
Speaker 3: the speed is real. But at the same time, we
9:22
Speaker 3: don't want to go searching for him. We just want
9:25
Speaker 3: to naturally let them happen, but definitely want to utilize that,
9:28
Speaker 3: you know, the athleticism that he has coach.
9:30
Speaker 4: Final thought from me here, this seems like a good
9:33
Speaker 4: opportunity this week to really, for lack of a better term,
9:36
Speaker 4: circle the wagons because everything in the noise outside the
9:40
Speaker 4: building is loud right now after the start, but going
9:43
Speaker 4: to a place a tough environment in Buffalo against a
9:45
Speaker 4: really good football team. And this is a chance for
9:49
Speaker 4: this team to do it under the bright lights, in
9:51
Speaker 4: front of the big stage and just go in and
9:54
Speaker 4: play better football, right exactly.
9:56
Speaker 3: And you know the noise is definitely warranted. I mean
9:59
Speaker 3: we've we've brought that up on ourselves obviously, and and
10:02
Speaker 3: the best way to do it is try to go
10:04
Speaker 3: on the road and and and win a football game.
10:06
Speaker 3: And you know it's gonna take our best effort. It's
10:08
Speaker 3: a great place to play, it's a great atmosphere, it's loud.
10:13
Speaker 3: You know, the mafia will be in full effect right there,
10:16
Speaker 3: and just looking forward this opportunity.
10:18
Speaker 4: Well, and how how important is it to have your
10:21
Speaker 4: veteran leaders step up in a.
10:23
Speaker 2: Week like this.
10:24
Speaker 3: It's huge, It's everything. And you know, for me, that's
10:27
Speaker 3: what I have to lean on, you know, in moments
10:29
Speaker 3: like this are those guys and and you know they've
10:32
Speaker 3: got to take the as they say, the bull by
10:34
Speaker 3: the horns and and and just go attack it and
10:37
Speaker 3: you know, lead this football team.
10:38
Speaker 2: Thanks for the time, coach. We'll talk to you next week.
10:41
Speaker 3: Thank you.
10:41
Speaker 1: Head coach Doug Peterson with us back with more After this,
10:44
Speaker 1: it's the Doug Peterson.
10:45
Speaker 2: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
10:51
Speaker 6: Allom back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
10:57
Speaker 7: How we move forward, how we get better from it
10:59
Speaker 7: and out of just you know, being pissed off about
11:02
Speaker 7: the result, Like how do we use it to actually
11:04
Speaker 7: learn from it and get better? So I think we
11:05
Speaker 7: had some great conversations. The team's done a great job.
11:09
Speaker 7: But we're together. We're tight. I think that's the biggest
11:12
Speaker 7: thing that you can't lose, and we haven't lost that
11:14
Speaker 7: at all. You know, we got a really close team
11:16
Speaker 7: and it's important. But yeah, I think, of course we
11:19
Speaker 7: got a we had a mature team that's gonna respond
11:21
Speaker 7: well to things like that or to you know, whether
11:24
Speaker 7: it's myself or Coach Peterson or Josh or Foyer or Evan,
11:26
Speaker 7: whoever says something speaks up, guys are gonna respect it.
11:30
Speaker 7: You know, we have a really tight locker room. So
11:33
Speaker 7: no no surprise to me there.
11:35
Speaker 1: That's quarterback Trevor Lawrence today and the full availability at
11:39
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Welcome back to the
11:42
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida. Ticketmaster is
11:47
Speaker 1: the official ticket marketplace of the Jacksonville Jaguars Jaggs on
11:50
Speaker 1: the road Monday against the Bills on Monday Night Football
11:54
Speaker 1: JP Shadwick with Jeff logerman Our thanks to head coach
11:56
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson joining us each in every week in the
11:59
Speaker 1: first segment of his show, and a lot to go
12:02
Speaker 1: through this week, and it's not the easiest conversations to
12:06
Speaker 1: be had in this building earlier in the week rehashing
12:09
Speaker 1: the Bills game and then trying to figure out communication
12:12
Speaker 1: issues and things of that sort. Those are never fun.
12:16
Speaker 1: But you know, for as Barney five said, you got
12:19
Speaker 1: to nip it in the butt at some point, right
12:21
Speaker 1: and get it done.
12:22
Speaker 4: Barney Fife, It's awesome. I'm a big Andy Griffiths show fan,
12:27
Speaker 4: by the way, and I love you.
12:29
Speaker 2: Gotta do it now.
12:30
Speaker 1: You can't do it in November. It's got to be
12:32
Speaker 1: done now because you can't let this scene get too
12:34
Speaker 1: far down down the lane.
12:36
Speaker 4: And I think you got to have, you know, as
12:38
Speaker 4: a coach, you got to have this this belief that hey,
12:43
Speaker 4: it's things are all things are fixable and you just
12:46
Speaker 4: got to coach them up. And you know, the hard
12:47
Speaker 4: part is, I think with coaching is that it can
12:50
Speaker 4: get so frustrating sometimes, but you got to be able
12:53
Speaker 4: to be consistent through some of those frustrating times. In
12:56
Speaker 4: other words, you can't react sometimes like I do here
12:59
Speaker 4: on the show and get angry. Oh I can't believe
13:02
Speaker 4: it they're doing that. You know, as a coach, you
13:04
Speaker 4: just got to say, hey, you know, you still got
13:06
Speaker 4: to keep coaching, keep coaching, keep getting them better. And
13:09
Speaker 4: that's hard to do. I mean, that's hard to do.
13:12
Speaker 1: You only do so much. At some point, the balls
13:15
Speaker 1: on the tee and you're on the sideline.
13:17
Speaker 4: That's that's why I think that Uh, you know, at
13:21
Speaker 4: the end there I talked about the veteran leadership that's
13:24
Speaker 4: so critical because you know, you look at Patrick Mahomes
13:29
Speaker 4: and Andy Reid. Okay, make no mistake, that's Patrick Mahomes'
13:33
Speaker 4: football team, right. I mean the way the way that
13:39
Speaker 4: he rallies that those guys and and leaves them. I mean,
13:44
Speaker 4: he is He's other level. You know, he's way up here.
13:49
Speaker 4: And what that what's that makes him special? You look
13:53
Speaker 4: at some of the great quarterbacks of all time, they've
13:57
Speaker 4: had that special ability to bring out the best and
14:01
Speaker 4: the people around them, not only by their performance, but
14:04
Speaker 4: also by the way that they carried themselves. And Trevor
14:09
Speaker 4: has to be able to take that take that next step.
14:11
Speaker 4: First and foremost, he's got to take care of his
14:13
Speaker 4: performance number one, and then number two. Then he has
14:16
Speaker 4: to bring other people with him. And then yeah, and
14:21
Speaker 4: then everybody else has to elevate their game around him
14:23
Speaker 4: as well to help.
14:25
Speaker 2: You know, rising tide lifts all ships. Consistency.
14:27
Speaker 4: I'm using as many cliches in this segment as I can. Oh, oh,
14:31
Speaker 4: I've got all in consistency, though, I mean it is.
14:34
Speaker 4: I mean you you know, for example, like when we
14:37
Speaker 4: talk about some of the mistakes that the offense makes, Yeah,
14:41
Speaker 4: if you just cut back on look, here's the reality.
14:43
Speaker 4: You're going to make some mistakes, but you've got to
14:46
Speaker 4: minimize it because the more efficient that you can become
14:50
Speaker 4: as an individual in your performance, the more efficient and
14:54
Speaker 4: the overall productivity will go up with the group. And
15:00
Speaker 4: and most importantly, again I'm going to say this word
15:02
Speaker 4: again because you know, this was what Doug talked about
15:05
Speaker 4: last week. Remember we asked them about you know, the
15:09
Speaker 4: every week you kind of have a message to your team,
15:12
Speaker 4: and last week's word was finish well, I didn't see
15:17
Speaker 4: an offensive line finished last week. You didn't finish the game. Okay.
15:25
Speaker 4: I wouldn't change it for nothing. Same, but we're going
15:27
Speaker 4: to talk about this week. Do your job, do it well,
15:32
Speaker 4: and finish, okay, and let's have some energy. Gotta have
15:37
Speaker 4: some energy with this football team this week. If you
15:39
Speaker 4: don't have energy for Monday night football. Yeah, what I
15:43
Speaker 4: always loved about Monday night football, or any game at
15:47
Speaker 4: nighttime for that matter, just it takes you back to
15:49
Speaker 4: the roots of when you played, you know, high school football,
15:51
Speaker 4: onder the lights. I mean, it makes it kind of
15:53
Speaker 4: brings you back to those moments of just it was
15:57
Speaker 4: just you were so free and having fun. And for me,
16:01
Speaker 4: that's what was always what was so unique and special
16:03
Speaker 4: about playing at night and you know everybody's watching, yeah,
16:08
Speaker 4: including us, Yeah, excited for it. Jack's fans, are you
16:13

Speaker 4: of the Year and nominate someone today back in a moment,
16:28
Speaker 4: slowing down the Bill's defensive.
16:30
Speaker 1: Line and pass rush. That's the challenge up front this week.
16:34
Speaker 1: That's next on The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
17:00
Speaker 6: Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
17:04
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida and
17:07
Speaker 1: We're on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the University
17:11
Speaker 1: of Florida, number one university in the US News and
17:14
Speaker 1: World Reports, number one state for education. JP Shadwick with
17:17
Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman, Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson with us in
17:21
Speaker 1: the opening segment. Each and every week on this program,
17:24
Speaker 1: five o'clock Thursdays on the Jaguars Radio Network. The Jaguars
17:28
Speaker 1: and the Bills on Monday Night Football coming up in
17:31
Speaker 1: Week three and the Jaguars offensive line. The task this
17:35
Speaker 1: week is the Bills defensive front that is fantastic. They
17:41
Speaker 1: can get after the passer. Ajf Panessa is on one side.
17:45
Speaker 1: He at two sacks on Cam Robinson last year in
17:48
Speaker 1: London when the Jaguars beat the Bills at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium.
17:53
Speaker 1: They got guys in the middle who can play. They've
17:55
Speaker 1: got Salty Vetts and von Miller who's got over one
17:58
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five sacks in his career.
18:00
Speaker 3: Now.
18:02
Speaker 1: But they are guys that if you let them get
18:04
Speaker 1: in opportunities to go get after the quarterback, they can
18:07
Speaker 1: do it.
18:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, and von Miller's back. You know, he's not the
18:13
Speaker 4: killer von Miller from years ago, but he's he's got
18:18
Speaker 4: that first step in that get off back, you know.
18:20
Speaker 4: Whereas last year. I remember when he was activated in
18:25
Speaker 4: the first game that he played was in London. He
18:28
Speaker 4: didn't look like anywhere near the von Miller of old.
18:32
Speaker 4: He looked terrible, to be perfectly honest with you, and
18:36
Speaker 4: it showed because he didn't have a sack all of
18:38
Speaker 4: last year and I think he was active for like
18:40
Speaker 4: ten or eleven games or something of that nature. Well,
18:43
Speaker 4: his first step is back, his get off his back,
18:47
Speaker 4: and that gives the Buffalo Bills a really great situational
18:51
Speaker 4: football player and really to roll him in with those
18:55
Speaker 4: other two outside guys. And I will say, when you
18:58
Speaker 4: watch the film, Greg Russo is playing really well. And
19:03
Speaker 4: I didn't even know that he was leading the team
19:05
Speaker 4: with three sacks until after the film. I was like,
19:09
Speaker 4: I think he got a couple of sacks in there.
19:10
Speaker 4: I said, wow, So because I was watched almost all
19:14
Speaker 4: of it, and sure enough, he's got three sacks, but
19:16
Speaker 4: when you watch him play in and play out, he's
19:18
Speaker 4: playing similar like to Josh Allen like he was last week,
19:22
Speaker 4: and that he's winning a lot, and so that's impressive.
19:27
Speaker 4: So the Jaguars tackles are going to be challenged in
19:29
Speaker 4: this ballgame. Ed Oliver is a handful because he's quick
19:34
Speaker 4: and he's fast, and he's smaller, and day Kwon Jones
19:38
Speaker 4: is a big, powerful man.
19:40
Speaker 2: I would suspect that if.
19:42
Speaker 4: I were doing the matchups, I would put day Kwon
19:45
Speaker 4: Jones over a Brandon Sheriff, the big powerful guy, and
19:49
Speaker 4: then I would let Ed Oliver go against Ezra Cleveland
19:52
Speaker 4: And it will be interesting to see how they.
19:55
Speaker 2: Match that up.
19:55
Speaker 4: But that's what I would expect.
19:58
Speaker 2: Tackle's got to play well though from the outside too.
20:02
Speaker 4: I got to play better than what they've what they've
20:04
Speaker 4: been playing. I mean this, you know, last week was
20:09
Speaker 4: here's the here's the reality of last week blocking the
20:12
Speaker 4: best player in the league. And what do they think
20:15
Speaker 4: of you? Okay, what do the Browns think of your
20:19
Speaker 4: offensive line? Okay, because you're you're trying to figure out, okay,
20:24
Speaker 4: what are they going to do with Miles Garrett where'd
20:26
Speaker 4: they line up Miles Garrett the left.
20:28
Speaker 2: Tackle, a lot of that.
20:30
Speaker 4: They put him at left end to go against Anton
20:33
Speaker 4: Harrison so well then some of the day, but then
20:37
Speaker 4: on the safety he got well, he was on the
20:39
Speaker 4: right side, but they started out the game on the
20:41
Speaker 4: left side. Got it okay. And that basically them saying
20:46
Speaker 4: we're coming at you, Anton because you're the weak link.
20:50
Speaker 4: That's what they were saying last week. And if if
20:53
Speaker 4: Anton doesn't look at that and go not a very
20:58
Speaker 4: high compliment that the Cleveland Browns paid me.
21:00
Speaker 2: But then later in the game he moves to the
21:02
Speaker 2: other side.
21:03
Speaker 4: Because that's his home, that's Miles Garrett's home, and he
21:08
Speaker 4: just not line up wherever the hell he wants. Well,
21:10
Speaker 4: he can, but I mean where he lines up to
21:12
Speaker 4: start the game I think is very telling because they
21:15
Speaker 4: were trying to send a message, we're gonna put Miles
21:18
Speaker 4: Garrett up against you, Anton, Harris Harrison. We're gonna line
21:22
Speaker 4: him up against you all day and you're gonna have
21:24
Speaker 4: to try to figure out how to block him. Miles
21:27
Speaker 4: is a handful now, I mean a handful this week.
21:31
Speaker 4: Those two guys that they have in Buffalo, they like
21:33
Speaker 4: to be left and right if they're both on the
21:36
Speaker 4: field at the same time. If von Miller is on
21:39
Speaker 4: the field, Vn's going to be on the left side,
21:41
Speaker 4: that's his comfort defensive left over anton Ham correct, that's
21:44
Speaker 4: his comfort side, and then Russeau will kick over to
21:47
Speaker 4: the right if he's the other edge player on the
21:50
Speaker 4: field at the same time. If von Miller is not
21:54
Speaker 4: on the field, then Russo will stay on the left side.
21:57
Speaker 4: That's where he's I think at his best.
22:00
Speaker 1: Coming up, ESPN analyst Lewis Riddick will be on the
22:03
Speaker 1: call on Monday Night Football. What is his greatest concern
22:07
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars after the to two start. That's next
22:10
Speaker 1: on the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
22:16
Speaker 6: The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
22:20
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida, The
22:23
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Bills coming up on Monday Night Football,
22:26
Speaker 1: JP Shadwick with Jeff Loogerman head coach Doug Peterson joining
22:29
Speaker 1: us in the opening segment each and every week, and
22:32
Speaker 1: the Jaguars on Monday Night Football. And an analyst for
22:35
Speaker 1: ESPN is Lewis Reddick of former NFL safety in personnel
22:40
Speaker 1: departments over the years with Washington and Philadelphia, and has
22:43
Speaker 1: been with ESPN now as an NFL and has actually
22:47
Speaker 1: joined college football coverage as well, but he started there.
22:50
Speaker 2: In twenty thirteen.
22:51
Speaker 4: I caught up with him earlier today and asked him
22:54
Speaker 4: what's his greatest concern after the to two start for
22:57
Speaker 4: the Jags.
22:57
Speaker 5: Lack of an ability to really be able to who
23:01
Speaker 5: call on certain players or certain schemes and concepts that
23:05
Speaker 5: you know are got to have it type of players
23:09
Speaker 5: and or concepts, and that's very frustrating. Look, I understand
23:13
Speaker 5: we're still in the early part of the season and
23:15
Speaker 5: you know, and they're just getting ready to complete Week three,
23:17
Speaker 5: But considering how long that this coaching staff and this
23:21
Speaker 5: head coach in particular, and he's spoken to this already,
23:24
Speaker 5: has been with this quarterback in particular, that he felt
23:28
Speaker 5: that they would be further along at this point. They
23:30
Speaker 5: don't understand quite why they're not a little bit further
23:33
Speaker 5: along in terms of their consistency, And a lot of
23:36
Speaker 5: that has to do with the fact that usually that
23:38
Speaker 5: means that the coach doesn't quite know what he has
23:40
Speaker 5: yet and the players haven't really demonstrated that to him yet,
23:44
Speaker 5: and so look at a hell of a stage to
23:46
Speaker 5: try and find that out on Monday night in Buffalo,
23:48
Speaker 5: which is one of the toughest places to play. I
23:50
Speaker 5: know I played up there a couple of times and
23:52
Speaker 5: it is brutal and I'm not talking weather, I'm just
23:54
Speaker 5: talking an atmosphere. It's just suffocating. But it's also, at
23:58
Speaker 5: the same time, maybe exactly what they need because their
24:01
Speaker 5: backs are against the wall. They don't want to go
24:02
Speaker 5: down three Doug Nose Sean. They've worked together, we were
24:05
Speaker 5: all in the same building at one time in Philly.
24:08
Speaker 5: There's a lot at stake and a lot of emotion involved,
24:11
Speaker 5: and that's probably what you want to see as a
24:13
Speaker 5: Jaguars fan. You want to see some emotion out of
24:15
Speaker 5: this team, and you really want to see some emotion
24:17
Speaker 5: out of number sixteen.
24:18
Speaker 2: You want to see him.
24:19
Speaker 5: Go I'm the guy they're paying me like the guy.
24:24
Speaker 5: I don't need to fly under the radar. I need
24:27
Speaker 5: to fly above the radar now. I need to go
24:29
Speaker 5: ahead and put myself in harm's way and be the
24:32
Speaker 5: people that everyone focuses in on because they're paying me
24:34
Speaker 5: to be that guy.
24:36
Speaker 4: We'll see we were really last week after the game
24:39
Speaker 4: was the first time we heard him publicly, you know,
24:42
Speaker 4: call out teammates and himself and the coaches. And it
24:45
Speaker 4: just didn't look right last week and he kind of
24:47
Speaker 4: had it up to hear for lack of a better term,
24:49
Speaker 4: And I guess the question is how does the team
24:52
Speaker 4: respond to that?
24:53
Speaker 2: And but you have to have some equity built up
24:55
Speaker 2: to get the team buy in too, right, no doubt.
24:58
Speaker 5: And I think I mean that's great point, right, So,
25:01
Speaker 5: and the equity can't be just the equity, so to speak,
25:05
Speaker 5: in your bank account. It's not about what you're getting.
25:08
Speaker 2: Off the field success equity, right, that's right?
25:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly, And I know what you mean. I'm
25:12
Speaker 5: just saying, like, for him, it has to go beyond that.
25:15
Speaker 5: And I think that's why maybe it feels a little
25:16
Speaker 5: awkward to see him do that right right now from
25:19
Speaker 5: the outside or from the inside, because people are gonna
25:22
Speaker 5: sit there and go, well, Trev, you shown flashes. I
25:25
Speaker 5: know what they said about you the day you got drafted.
25:27
Speaker 5: I know how much Dabblo loves you and Clemson, but
25:30
Speaker 5: this ain't Clemson, and you know what, and this isn't
25:32
Speaker 5: the draft, and we really don't care how much money
25:34
Speaker 5: you make. What we care about is whether or not
25:37
Speaker 5: you're gonna pick up third downs. You're gonna make those
25:40
Speaker 5: plays that are special, one of one plays like the
25:43
Speaker 5: guy who's gonna be standing on the other sideline has
25:45
Speaker 5: been doing on a regular basis since he's gotten into
25:48
Speaker 5: the league, and this dude, and he's been doing it
25:51
Speaker 5: and he still gets killed with, you know, stinging criticism,
25:55
Speaker 5: going too many turnovers, he's overrated, all the nonsense that
25:58
Speaker 5: you hear said about Josh Allen. It's gonna start coming
26:01
Speaker 5: Trevor's way in waves if he isn't able to build
26:06
Speaker 5: up that equity based on his performance.
26:08
Speaker 2: On the field.
26:09
Speaker 5: And I think this is one of those This is
26:11
Speaker 5: one of those turning points types of games for him,
26:16
Speaker 5: and I don't want to make that, you know, the
26:18
Speaker 5: big giant proclamation of this is the fork in the
26:20
Speaker 5: row for Trevor Lawrence's career. But for this season, this
26:23
Speaker 5: is huge. This is huge because of you don't want
26:28
Speaker 5: to go down No.
26:28
Speaker 3: Three.
26:28
Speaker 5: You know what that means for your playoff chances. Two,
26:31
Speaker 5: you see how the other team in Houston is doing
26:33
Speaker 5: in the division right now, and how c. J. Stroud
26:35
Speaker 5: is playing and honestly, if you're shot Khan, you're sitting
26:40
Speaker 5: there going I paid you to be a difference maker.
26:44
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's more than him, but it starts with him.
26:47
Speaker 1: It's Lewis Riddick ESPN laying it out there and it's
26:51
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show and you can get the full
26:53
Speaker 1: conversation with Lewis Riddick coming up a little later this
26:56
Speaker 1: week on the Jaguars Official Podcast Network, also on Jaguars YouTube.
27:01
Speaker 2: But interesting conversation there and a good perspective.
27:04
Speaker 1: I mean, the quarter the franchise quarterback has to kind
27:07
Speaker 1: of be your alpha guy in that whole place. Well,
27:10
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that he has to
27:13
Speaker 1: be that, and right now I think Trevor is trying.
27:18
Speaker 4: To become that. But in order to be that, you
27:22
Speaker 4: have to have the performance. And until you have the
27:25
Speaker 4: performance at a higher level, then it's impossible to be
27:30
Speaker 4: that alpha dog. It's just it's just it can't happen,
27:35
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, you have to be the elite player.
27:39
Speaker 4: So when you're in the huddle and you're demanding, demanding, demanding,
27:43
Speaker 4: you can't have somebody sitting there going, well, how come
27:45
Speaker 4: you did this? On the last play, dude, I mean,
27:47
Speaker 4: what are you talking about. You can't have that. So
27:52
Speaker 4: I hope that Trevor plays well this week because if
27:56
Speaker 4: you're going to demand, you got to be that guy. Okay,
27:58
Speaker 4: you got to be that guy that plays and this
28:01
Speaker 4: is a game that I think he can play well.
28:03
Speaker 4: Plenty ahead, including when we come back. The other side
28:08
Speaker 4: of the equation of the quarterback position. Josh Allen waiting
28:11
Speaker 4: for the Jaguars to come to town. It's The Doug
28:14
Speaker 4: Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
28:28
Speaker 6: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
28:33
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida on
28:36
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the University of Florida
28:41
Speaker 1: number one university and the US News and World Reports
28:44
Speaker 1: number one state for Education.
28:46
Speaker 2: JP Shadwick with Jeff Logeman.
28:49
Speaker 4: Thanks to Lewis Riddick and again that conversation in full
28:53
Speaker 4: coming soon on the.
28:54
Speaker 1: Podcast network and Jaguars YouTube channels. On the other side
28:59
Speaker 1: of the equation this week, Josh Allen, I'm playing fantastic football.
29:03
Speaker 1: They're running the football this season, which has helped balance
29:06
Speaker 1: things out there, at least early in the first couple
29:08
Speaker 1: of games they did at the end of last year too.
29:10
Speaker 2: But Josh Allen right there at the top of his
29:13
Speaker 2: game right now.
29:13
Speaker 1: He's six ' five, he's like two thirty five, he's
29:17
Speaker 1: got a rocket arm, he's got experience to go with
29:20
Speaker 1: it in spades now, and he's got a good football
29:22
Speaker 1: team around him. Yeah, but he's trash, rightsh Taylor, it
29:31
Speaker 1: wasn't I forgot about that.
29:34
Speaker 2: How can you forget that? It's just so long ago.
29:37
Speaker 4: Every time I see Josh Allen perform, well now I
29:39
Speaker 4: think back to the time that Jalen Ramsey referred to
29:42
Speaker 4: him as trash.
29:44
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, that's right.
29:47
Speaker 4: Can you believe that?
29:48
Speaker 2: I do believe Can you guess I believe that? Yeah?
29:52
Speaker 4: I think the impressive thing is, Look, the Buffalo Bills are,
29:57
Speaker 4: without question going through a bit of a trans as
30:01
Speaker 4: a team. You look at the number of players that
30:06
Speaker 4: were let go or were able to let walk on defense,
30:11
Speaker 4: the safety positions obviously come to mind. They had a
30:16
Speaker 4: really good corner that they let go on offense. Mitch
30:20
Speaker 4: Morris was let go, shown the door. Gabe Davis was
30:24
Speaker 4: let go, shown the door. Stefan Diggs was traded to
30:29
Speaker 4: the Texans, and they sustained a massive salary cap hit
30:35
Speaker 4: this year for trading Stefan Diggs. So this Buffalo Bills team,
30:41
Speaker 4: I mean everybody was kind of looking at them as
30:44
Speaker 4: if there's no way that they could be good this year. Well,
30:50
Speaker 4: sometimes you have other players step up in the decisions
30:54
Speaker 4: that were made by Brandon Bean that may have cost
30:58
Speaker 4: less money have have been good. I mean, he's done
31:02
Speaker 4: a good job. But the one part that's remained consistent
31:07
Speaker 4: in all this is the quarterback and then the quarterback
31:09
Speaker 4: play of Josh Allen, you know, and he's not only
31:13
Speaker 4: a threat with arm strength and accuracy. I mean he's
31:15
Speaker 4: completing balls at a rate I think seventy three point
31:19
Speaker 4: eight percent. His previous career high in the season was
31:22
Speaker 4: like sixty nine point two. But not just the completion
31:26
Speaker 4: percentage categories. You look at the yards per attempt, touchdown,
31:31
Speaker 4: the interception ratio. All of those right now are would
31:37
Speaker 4: be or would be career best compared to other years.
31:39
Speaker 4: I mean, he's playing really well, and I think it
31:42
Speaker 4: helps that he's got an offensive line playing well and
31:45
Speaker 4: the running back that's running the ball pretty dang good.
31:48
Speaker 4: And he really hasn't gotten much help from the tight
31:51
Speaker 4: end position because Dalton kin k got beat up a
31:54
Speaker 4: little bit last week and was limited in that game.
31:57
Speaker 4: Dawson Knox hasn't been a big target. But the wide
32:00
Speaker 4: receiver Shakir, who is kind of that Christian Kirk of
32:07
Speaker 4: the Buffalo Bills. This guy's a good football player, I
32:11
Speaker 4: mean a really good football player, and the Jaguars better
32:15
Speaker 4: get ready and figure a way to cover him. Now,
32:17
Speaker 4: the other wide receivers, eh, you know, they drafted Keon
32:22
Speaker 4: Coleman from Florida State to fill the void that was
32:26
Speaker 4: left kind of with some of the departures of the
32:28
Speaker 4: other guys. But I'm not scared of any of those
32:33
Speaker 4: wide receivers. The only one that I would say that
32:35
Speaker 4: I have a high level of respect or would kind
32:37
Speaker 4: of say, hey, look we got to cover him is
32:39
Speaker 4: Khalil Shakir.
32:41
Speaker 2: But the other guys, eh.
32:43
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen historically will throw you a couple He'll
32:47
Speaker 1: give you a couple opportunities on defense, trying a tight
32:50
Speaker 1: window or throw it up for grabs. I mean last
32:53
Speaker 1: year in London, deep ball, underthrow it a little bit,
32:55
Speaker 1: interception like that's kind of been his thing over his career.
32:59
Speaker 1: He settled down a little bit, but still Since twenty
33:02
Speaker 1: twenty one, he has sixty giveaways, I know, the most
33:05
Speaker 1: in the league.
33:05
Speaker 4: I know, but that's the one thing he has not
33:07
Speaker 4: done yet this year. Does not have an intercession. Do
33:12
Speaker 4: come on, Logs, he's due. Why do you believe that
33:15
Speaker 4: just because he's because he's due at some point, the
33:18
Speaker 4: tiger doesn't change its stripes. Well, he's he's caught the
33:22
Speaker 4: ball up one time, yes, I know, he's caught the
33:26
Speaker 4: ball one time on a on a blind side sack
33:29
Speaker 4: which he had no chance of holding onto the ball.
33:32
Speaker 4: But other than that, he's been cleaning with the football.
33:35
Speaker 4: You know, give him credit. You know, that's the one
33:37
Speaker 4: I think that's the one knock that has always been
33:40
Speaker 4: there for Josh Allen is that he doesn't take care
33:43
Speaker 4: of the football well enough. And right now he's doing
33:47
Speaker 4: a good job with that. And then with their defense
33:50
Speaker 4: getting takeaways, I mean, you know they've only got uh
33:54
Speaker 4: you look at their takeaway giveaway ratio right now, tied
33:57
Speaker 4: for third in the National Football League with a plus
33:59
Speaker 4: three turn over differential.
34:00
Speaker 2: Pretty good, and on those.
34:02
Speaker 4: Four takeaways again, twenty four points off of them. You know,
34:05
Speaker 4: that's the difference in winning losing. If the Jaguars get
34:08
Speaker 4: two takeaways one in each game, might have won the game.
34:13
Speaker 4: Might have been the difference in that games. Yeah, might
34:16
Speaker 4: be winning those games instead of losing those games. So
34:19
Speaker 4: turnovers are huge. And if the Jaguars don't get a
34:24
Speaker 4: takeaway in this ball game and the Buffalo Bills and
34:29
Speaker 4: the Buffalo Bills get takeaways.
34:32
Speaker 2: You're not gonna win easy enough.
34:35
Speaker 4: You either got to be even or win the turnover
34:38
Speaker 4: battle in Buffalo, because if you don't, you're not coming
34:42
Speaker 4: home with a victory. Register your furry friend for the

Speaker 1: about the Bill's skill guys. How about the Jaguars skill guys?
35:04
Speaker 1: What do they have to get done this week in
35:07
Speaker 1: Buffalo on Monday Night Football. This is the Doug Peterson
35:10
Speaker 1: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
35:13
Speaker 6: Mason Show continues right now.
35:16
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida, JP
35:20
Speaker 1: Shaddick with Jeff Logoman or thanks to head coach Doug
35:22
Speaker 1: Peterson in the first segment each and every week at
35:24
Speaker 1: five o'clock Sharp and then Lewis Ridick, ESPN analyst Monday
35:29
Speaker 1: Night Football. The full conversation with Lewis coming up on
35:33
Speaker 1: the Jaguars official podcast network, Jaguars and Bills on Monday
35:38
Speaker 1: Night Football.
35:38
Speaker 4: We just talked about the Buffalo Bill's skill guys. Well,
35:43
Speaker 4: let's flip it around now the Jacksonville Jaguars skill guys.
35:47
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas Jr. I think it's fair to say it's
35:50
Speaker 4: off to a good start. He has the most receiving
35:52
Speaker 4: yards for any Jaguars rookie wide receiver through two games.
35:56
Speaker 2: Ever, yeah, that's good.
35:58
Speaker 4: Had to drop, had to drop this past game, Okay,
36:02
Speaker 4: on a kind of a routine play. You know, it
36:05
Speaker 4: should have been an easy catch. Yeah, I mean, and
36:08
Speaker 4: I say that to provide a little bit of balance.
36:11
Speaker 4: I mean, look, he's been fantastic. The deep ball in Miami,
36:16
Speaker 4: got the interference and had a big catch. And in
36:19
Speaker 4: his past game the deep ball that everybody thought the
36:22
Speaker 4: ball was overthrown, and somehow he turned into Jimmy Smith
36:27
Speaker 4: and found that other gear and was able to run
36:30
Speaker 4: underneath of it and then to make the catch and
36:32
Speaker 4: then a stiff arm almost in a fluid one step motion.
36:38
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Brian Thomas Junior has talent and
36:43
Speaker 4: no end. I think we may be watching what may
36:48
Speaker 4: be a great wide receiver in Jaguars history. I mean,
36:53
Speaker 4: he just does things and he makes things look so easy.
36:58
Speaker 4: And I don't think we've had a wider ever here
37:01
Speaker 4: in Jacksonville that have made things look that easy. I mean,
37:06
Speaker 4: Jimmy Smith was fantastic, but Jimmy didn't make things look effortless,
37:12
Speaker 4: and Brian makes things look effortless. And I'm not again,
37:16
Speaker 4: this is early a long way to go. He's got
37:19
Speaker 4: to make those easy catches and all those things, but
37:21
Speaker 4: I'm excited about where he's gonna go.
37:24
Speaker 1: Gave Davis off to a pretty good start, I'd say,
37:26
Speaker 1: as Jaguar through a couple of games as well.
37:28
Speaker 4: He's crafty, he's he's been good, he's been catching the ball,
37:33
Speaker 4: he's been blocking well. He's everything that you could have
37:38
Speaker 4: asked for as a as a third piece to this
37:41
Speaker 4: puzzle that they have in a wide receiver room, without
37:44
Speaker 4: a doubt. Christian Kirk, on the other hand, where is he.
37:50
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's very odd how many catches
37:53
Speaker 4: does he have and how many targets does he have.
37:55
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk so far in this season for the Jaguars
37:59
Speaker 1: set targets two catches for twenty nine yards.
38:03
Speaker 4: I mean that's not good and he's got two drops.
38:08
Speaker 4: He's got to be better. You know, as Press Taylor
38:13
Speaker 4: said to me before, you know, this offense kind of
38:14
Speaker 4: runs through Christian and Evan, and right now those two
38:18
Speaker 4: haven't contributed much anything.
38:20
Speaker 1: Evan's dinged up. That's not trending the right way this week,
38:23
Speaker 1: at least he didn't practice today. No, and Doug Peterson
38:26
Speaker 1: kind of alluded to that earlier in his press conference
38:28
Speaker 1: as well.
38:29
Speaker 4: But I mean Evan needs to be or excuse me,
38:31
Speaker 4: Christian needs to be that easy completion guy to give
38:35
Speaker 4: you manageable third downs that you're not getting. I mean,
38:39
Speaker 4: look at the third down percentage of the Jaguars on offense.
38:42
Speaker 4: I don't have to it's bottom of the league. It's
38:45
Speaker 4: like twenty eight, twenty eighth and converting at a rate
38:47
Speaker 4: of twenty six point three percent. I mean, forty is
38:49
Speaker 4: where you want to be, minimum of forty, and right now,
38:53
Speaker 4: this offense is struggling to put plays together because they're
38:56
Speaker 4: not converting third downs because they're not helping themselves make
38:59
Speaker 4: it manage.
39:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not doing anything on first down. Usually it's
39:03
Speaker 1: second and long and then it's third and long or
39:05
Speaker 1: longer and there you go punting.
39:07
Speaker 4: So they need to be better. They need to be better,
39:10
Speaker 4: and upfront, you got to you got to protect better,
39:12
Speaker 4: you know. So, I mean that's the crazy thing. And
39:14
Speaker 4: I go back to earlier I was talking about this
39:16
Speaker 4: Bengo thing. You know, you reach and you grab a ball,
39:18
Speaker 4: and it's something different on each play that's breaking down,
39:20
Speaker 4: that's keeping you from reaching your goal. You know, you
39:23
Speaker 4: got to minimize those mistakes so that you just can
39:25
Speaker 4: you got a better chance of success. It's hard enough
39:27
Speaker 4: to do it without making a mistake. That's the only
39:31
Speaker 4: reason happens is because of you. Okay, it's fine if look,
39:37
Speaker 4: if one play the guy's better than you, that happens
39:40
Speaker 4: the NFL. But if you're just making a mental error,
39:43
Speaker 4: you're not getting lined up right, or you're running a
39:45
Speaker 4: wrong route, or you're dropping the ball or your eyes dropping,
39:49
Speaker 4: you don't see the route develop when you're supposed to
39:51
Speaker 4: stay with the route. I mean, if all those things
39:53
Speaker 4: keep just piling up, then you just you know, it's
39:55
Speaker 4: hard to win. So but again I'm gonna say this,
39:58
Speaker 4: all these things are fixed. People just need to play better,
40:02
Speaker 4: and the coaches need to hold them accountable. Coaches need
40:05
Speaker 4: to coach better. All of that needs to happen together
40:08
Speaker 4: with the start of the twenty twenty four NFL season.
40:11
Speaker 4: It's important to remember to always bet responsibly, set your limits,
40:14
Speaker 4: never chase your losses, only bet.
40:17
Speaker 1: What you can afford, and always stick to your game plan.
40:20
Speaker 1: To learn more, go to responsibleplay dot org. Well wrap
40:24
Speaker 1: it up after this, It's The Doug Peterson Show on
40:27
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio.
40:38
Speaker 6: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
40:43
Speaker 1: File of moments of The Doug Peterson Show, presented by
40:45
Speaker 1: Fresh from Florida, head of Monday Night Football, the Jaguars
40:49
Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills. It's a seven thirty kickoff time,
40:52
Speaker 1: high marked Stadium, Orchard Park, New York.
40:55
Speaker 2: And what a game it should be.
40:57
Speaker 4: The Jaguars at zero and two, the Bills at two
40:59
Speaker 4: and oh, trying to get things on track. The Bills
41:02
Speaker 4: have them on track.
41:04
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to see how this Jags team responds
41:07
Speaker 1: moving ahead? Really, I mean that's the talk of the town,
41:10
Speaker 1: you know, the zero and two start. What's going on
41:13
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars? What's the deal with the quarterback? I mean,
41:17
Speaker 1: why no takeaways on defense? You can answer a lot
41:20
Speaker 1: of questions with a winning result on Monday.
41:23
Speaker 4: Who's calling plays? So that I left that one out?
41:25
Speaker 4: I forgot about. There's a long list of questions. It's
41:28
Speaker 4: uh yeah, and uh you know, I think everything kind
41:32
Speaker 4: of quiets down with a win.
41:34
Speaker 5: You know.
41:34
Speaker 4: I had a coach that I brought up to Doug
41:37
Speaker 4: you know in college football, Philamation, and he was awesome,
41:41
Speaker 4: you know, and we were struggling kind of as a
41:43
Speaker 4: team when he first came aboard, and he said, look,
41:45
Speaker 4: he never have a problem that winning doesn't solve. And
41:49
Speaker 4: it's so true because if you just get one, then
41:53
Speaker 4: you kind of get back to that mindset Okay, we
41:55
Speaker 4: can do it, you know, and you remember how you
41:58
Speaker 4: did it. And so this game is so important for
42:02
Speaker 4: this football team. If you lose this one, then the
42:07
Speaker 4: noise is gonna get even louder. I mean, we think
42:09
Speaker 4: it's a little bit loud, now it's gonna get tremendously
42:14
Speaker 4: loud and on more of a national scale as well,
42:17
Speaker 4: after the Monday night before you Yes, yes, because everybody's
42:21
Speaker 4: gonna be watching, or at least for a little while.
42:26
Speaker 2: You got two games.
42:27
Speaker 4: You got two games, you know, so if you're stinking
42:29
Speaker 4: it up and it's a bad game, then people are
42:32
Speaker 4: not gonna watch and they're just gonna tune you out.
42:35
Speaker 4: So I hope this team plays really well. I hope
42:38
Speaker 4: they go on the road and the Buffalo Bills, I
42:40
Speaker 4: think they're a good football team. Are they one of
42:43
Speaker 4: the elite teams in the league. I don't think they are.
42:46
Speaker 4: Are they in the East?
42:50
Speaker 2: Two is out?
42:51
Speaker 5: Yeah?
42:51
Speaker 4: I mean, but I mean, look look at the East Rogers.
42:54
Speaker 4: I mean, we're gonna take a look at Aaron Rodgers
42:56
Speaker 4: tonight at home against the Patriots to kind of see
42:59
Speaker 4: what the you know, those two teams look like. But
43:02
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, the Jets are I think the only
43:04
Speaker 4: team that are going to be able to contend with
43:07
Speaker 4: the Bills for the division title. I mean, I don't
43:10
Speaker 4: see a tool less Dolphins team being able to bounce back.
43:15
Speaker 4: And I don't know about you, but I mean after
43:18
Speaker 4: watching that injury.
43:20
Speaker 2: And I saw that.
43:23
Speaker 4: That reaction, the body reaction on just what was a
43:26
Speaker 4: routine play. My first thought was, I think he's got
43:30
Speaker 4: to find a different job, you know, And I mean
43:34
Speaker 4: it's it's unfortunate, unfortunate.
